Abstract

Balancing the logistics of raw material procurement, manufacturing operations, and product distribution within the constraints of a microgrid-powered environment are among the main optimization challenges of cement supply chains. This study develops a bi-objective robust fuzzy Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model to design a microgrid-based cement supply chain network under pervasive uncertainty. Electrical energy demand plays a key role in the cement industry which is addressed through local energy resources in the microgrid structure of the suggested network in this work. To address the significance of sustainability in the problem, the objectives are to respectively maximize the total profit made by the operations in the cement supply chain network and minimize the total dust of the cement supply chain resulting from the operations, which are then treated using the Weighted Sum Method (WSM). An illustrative example is then investigated to demonstrate the applicability, validity and complexity of the developed model. Accordingly, a set of sensitivity analyses on the cement supply chain key parameters along with uncertainty parameters is conducted to render useful managerial perspectives and tools for decision-making. It is revealed that our methodology is able to design and plan the microgrid-based cement supply chain in less than 2 seconds.

Abstract

Fast food consumption has become a significant aspect of senior high school students' lifestyles, often associated with impulsive purchasing behavior. However, its specific influence on the buying patterns of Grade 12 students remains insufficiently investigated. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, targeting 116 Grade 12 students from Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated 18-item questionnaire focusing on fast food consumption factors and impulsive buying behavior, administered online with prior institutional approval. The findings reveal that taste, convenience, and satisfaction significantly influence fast-food consumption among Grade 12 students at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao, with taste receiving the highest mean rating (4.457). Similarly, impulsive buying, fast food chains, and promotional signage strongly impact buying behavior, with a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.558, p < .001) observed between fast-food consumption and impulsivity. These results highlight the role of fast-food factors in shaping consumer habits, aligning with prior studies emphasizing taste, accessibility, and marketing strategies. The study reveals that taste, convenience, and satisfaction drive fast-food consumption, significantly influencing impulsive buying behavior among students. It highlights the importance of fostering financial awareness and self-control to mitigate impulsive spending and suggests exploring broader demographic factors to better understand student purchasing decisions.

Abstract

Electromagnetic precursor anomalies are an important indicator for earthquake prediction, with numerous observations, simulations, and theoretical studies available. However, the generation process of electromagnetic waves, particularly their frequency characteristics, before an earthquake has not been thoroughly studied. This issue is crucial in determining whether the earthquake electromagnetic precursor signal can penetrate the stratum, significantly impacting the theoretical research on earthquake prediction. This paper explores the frequency of electromagnetic waves generated in the seismogenic zone before an earthquake through elastic mechanics and microcracks. Simulation results indicate that the lowest frequency of electromagnetic waves is 1341 Hz, sufficient for propagation from the seismic source zone to the surface. The simulated abnormal current near the seismic source zone is about 106 A, consistent with observations. While our work is just a starting point, this study offers theoretical support for the generation and propagation of earthquake electromagnetic precursor signals.

Abstract

The Small Satellite Student Society at the University of Stuttgart (KSat e.V.) has a strong history of ferrofluid-based research, demonstratedthrough ISS projects PAPELL and FARGO, as well as the REXUS sounding rocket project FerrAS. The latest endeavor, projectFINIX, is scheduled to launch on the REXUS 34 sounding rocket in Q1 2025. Building on these previously conducted missions, FINIXseeks to advance ferrofluid-based solutions with future applications in space systems. These novel developments hold the potential toreplace conventional mechanical components in space applications, which are subject to wear and tear and hence represent a limitingfactor for space missions. This paper details the experiments planned for the technology demonstrator mission FINIX, focusing onthe development of an electrical switch and a pump, and their connection to earlier developments. The design, testing, and validationprocesses of these ferrofluid-based experiments will be discussed, highlighting the scientific objectives and innovations of the project.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is an incomplete viral particle that lacks the ability to replicate and disseminate autonomously. Its replication and transmission are contingent upon Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Research has unveiled that the involvement of HDV and HBV in hepatocellular carcinoma development is not a mere additive effect, but rather they synergistically interact through multiple mechanisms to drive hepatocellular carcinoma progression. By investigating the interplay between HDV and liver cancer, researchers can gain a better understanding of hepatocellular carcinoma pathogenesis, thereby offering novel insights and approaches for early diagnosis and treatment.
Methods
We retrieved the corresponding Microarray datasets from the GEO database and conducted differential gene expression (DEGs) analysis using the GEO2R tool. Subsequently, we constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network utilizing the STRING database and assessed the significance of key interactions within this network by employing the MCODE module to identify core nodes. For these pivotal genes, we performed expression level analysis and survival curve analysis based on TCGA-related data to elucidate their relevance to hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, we employed univariate and multivariate analysis of variance to evaluate whether these genes may serve as independent factors for staging liver cancer. Additionally, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was carried out in order to explore the signaling pathways associated with these genes.
Results
The study revealed that the expression levels of six genes, namely BUB1B, CCNB1, CDC20, CDK1, DLGAP5, and NUF2, were significantly upregulated in patients diagnosed with HDV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which was strongly associated with an unfavorable prognosis for individuals suffering from HCC.
Conclusion
The present study has successfully identified a series of hub genes that potentially participate in the pathogenesis of HCC associated with HDV, and these genes can serve as reliable indicators for prognostic assessment.

Abstract

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) is a dominant approach for graph representation learning through neighborhood aggregation.However, existing GCN methods rely on a single structural view that only captures direct neighborhood connections. This limitation overlooks important long-range dependencies and global topological patterns, leading to suboptimal node representations for downstream tasks. To address these limitations, we propose a Multi-Block Graph Convolutional Network (MBGCN) that constructs two complementary subgraphs of the graph: a graph diffusion-based subgraph that captures global topological context through information propagation, and a \(K\) -nearest neighbor subgraph that preserves fine-grained local structural patterns. Additionally, the original graph structure is preserved as a structural subgraph to retain the graph’s inherent connectivity information. These three subgraphs work collaboratively to encode both macro-level community structures and micro-level neighborhood details, enabling more comprehensive node representations. Specifically, MBGCN consists of three key components: (1) A subgraph generation module that leverages graph diffusion and $K$-nearest neighbor strategies to generate complementary subgraphs. (2) The block modeling module allows the model to assign weights to nodes of different classes, considering the homogeneity and heterogeneity characteristics of the network. (3) A block-guided graph convolution module that adaptively integrates the learned representations from different views to generate comprehensive node embeddings. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that MBGCN outperforms eight state-of-the-art baselines. Notably, it achieves an improvement of 5.29% over the second-best method on the Texas dataset.

Abstract

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are significant health problems worldwide. Due to the limited number of national reports among upper-middle-income countries, we aimed to study burdens and patterns of GI diseases in Thai children.
Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed data on inpatients aged <18 years provided by Thailand’s National Health Security Office (NHSO) from 2015 to 2023.
Results: The primary diagnosis of GI diseases had 134,000-296,040 admissions per year (10.2-16% of all inpatient diagnoses). The most common diagnosis group was intestinal infectious diseases (58.6%-66.3%), of which other gastroenteritis and colitis of infectious and unspecified origin (A09) was prevalent in every age group. Admission mainly was found among children aged 1-5 years (36.5%-48.1%) and in the secondary hospitals (67.8-71.2%). In 2015-2022, the mortality rate of GI diseases was 0.5-0.7 deaths per 1,000 admissions (2.3-3.2% of the total inpatient deaths). In 2023, the mortality rate of GI diseases reduced to 0.4 deaths per 1,000 admissions, describing the highest rates in the groups of malignant neoplasms of digestive organs and diseases of the peritoneum (17.4 deaths per 1,000 admissions, both), followed by diseases of the liver (15.1 deaths per 1,000 admissions). Hepatic failure, not elsewhere classified (K72), had the highest mortality (106.4 deaths per 1,000 admissions). The total paid by the NHSO for GI diseases was 77,370,498 Thai Baht or 2,230,790 US dollars in the fiscal year 2022-2023.
Conclusions: Pediatric GI diseases burdened the Thai healthcare system, particularly intestinal infectious diseases. Malignancy, peritoneal, and liver diseases had less prevalence but higher mortality.

Abstract

Background
Major lower extremity amputation (MLEA) is a life-altering surgical procedure commonly performed due to trauma, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), diabetic foot ulcers, or other pathologies. This procedure has profound physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences, significantly affecting patients' quality of life and functional independence. Access to prosthetic care and rehabilitation services, which is crucial for improved outcomes, is often limited, especially in resource-limited settings such as Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the quality of life and determinants of ambulation status after MLEA at Addis Ababa Burn, Emergency, and Trauma Hospital (AaBET), Ethiopia.
Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 89 patients who underwent MLEA at AaBET Hospital between January 2017 and June 2022. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, amputation level, preoperative ambulation, and postamputation functional status were collected. Quality of life (QoL) was measured via the EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS tools. Statistical analysis, including univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression, was performed to identify factors influencing ambulation status postamputation.
Results
Trauma was the leading cause of MLEA (57.3%), followed by peripheral arterial disease (22.7%) and infections (11.2%). Postamputation ambulation was achieved in 76.4% of patients, with 39.3% using prostheses, 28.1% using crutches, and 9% using both. The remaining 23.6% were nonambulatory. The mean EQ-5D-5L index score was 0.81 (SD 0.17), and the mean EQ-VAS score was 69.38 (SD 13.66). Factors significantly associated with ambulation included age, preoperative ambulation status, bilateral amputation, and the presence of comorbidities. Ambulatory patients had significantly better QoL scores than non-ambulatory patients did.
Conclusion
This study highlights the impact of trauma as the primary cause of MLEA in Ethiopia. Preoperative ambulation status, age, bilateral amputation, and comorbidities were identified as key determinants of functional outcomes. These findings suggest that addressing comorbidities and improving trauma care is critical for enhancing postamputation mobility and QoL in low-income settings.

The study is on the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and to determine its antibacterial properties as zinc oxide has characteristic physical and chemical properties. The reducing agent green chillie is used to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles by eco-friendly methods at room temperature. Characterization studies indicated the ZnO nanoparticles were in the range of 67 to 92nm. SEM analysis indicated spherical and cylindrical shaped nanoparticles. Reducing and stabilization characteristics were identified by the presence of functional groups through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. Color change established the synthesis of nanoparticles using the reducing agent of green chili extract. Antibacterial characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles were determined by measuring the zone of inhibition, and good results were obtained.
A short-run analysis of the impact of imports of Hass avocados from Mexico on the U.S. avocado industry
Authors: Capps Oral , Williams Gary W. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Using data from November 2011 to March 2022, we estimate a vector autoregression model to examine the relationship among Mexican Hass avocado imports, prices received, and volumes of Californian Hass avocados packed by California packers/handlers. We trace the impacts of changes in Mexican imports over a 12-month time horizon. A 1% increase in Mexican imports today leads to increases in pack prices of 0.21% and to decreases in pack volumes of 0.29% on average five months to twelve months later. The cumulative impact of a 1% increase in Mexican imports results in a 1.71% increase in pack prices and a 2.31% decrease in monthly pack volumes, translating to a 0.64% decline in monthly revenue accruing to California packers/handlers. Consequently, the modest rise in pack prices coupled with the modest shrinkage of volumes of Californian Hass avocados packed and the modest loss in revenue accruing to California packers/handlers suggest on the surface that Hass avocado imports from Mexico in the short run do not “seriously injure” the U.S. avocado industry. These findings also suggest that future U.S. avocado grower appeals for relief against imports from Mexico are not likely be upheld by the U.S. International Trade Commission. Our results are short term only and these effects, compounded over time, potentially may become injurious to producers and packers in California.
