Abstract
Predicting grain protein function from amino acid sequences is becoming more and more significant, especially with the speed at which sequencing technology is developing. Most models suffer from lower accuracy in predicting protein activity due to their neglect of the sequence order of amino acids. Therefore, A parallel PBiLSTM-FCN algorithm is proposed for predicting grain protein function. In order to further increase the model's prediction accuracy, the PBiLSTM-FCN algorithm combines the Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) and the bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network (BiLSTM). It also adds the Squeeze-Excitation block to the FCN algorithm's complete convolutional block. This experimental dataset includes the protein data of four grains: soybean, maize, indica, and japonica. The study results show that compared with other algorithms, the PBiLSTM-FCN algorithm can achieve better performance in predicting grain protein function, proving the effectiveness and superiority of the PBiLSTM-FCN algorithm. Furthermore, the verified and formally genuine protein functions found in the SwissProt database were compared with the experimentally anticipated functions of four significant grain proteins in this work.

Abstract

Introduction
Both HIV/AIDS and anaemia are the most pressing public health issues globally. Moreover, there is a dearth of evidence regarding the frequency, severity, and prevalence of anaemia among HIV/AIDS-positive patients receiving antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia following the rollout of the dolutegravir-based regimen by 2019 as the preferred first-line regimen. Thus, this study is aimed at assessing the prevalence, severity, and associated factors of anaemia among adult HIV-positive ART-experienced patients in Woreta Primary Hospital (WPH).
Methods
A health institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study design was conducted to evaluate the prevalence and factors influencing anaemia in HIV/AIDS-positive patients from February 2019 to September 2023. Medical record abstraction tools were used to gather data. Employing initially bivariate and then multivariate logistic regression models, the data were evaluated to uncover factors linked with anaemia. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was applied to investigate the model's validity.
Results
The total prevalence of anaemia was 31.5% [95% CI: 28.9–33.8]. The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe anaemia was 20.42%, 10.38%, and 0.70%, respectively. Predictors independently linked with anaemia were: female sex (AOR: 1.08), age ≥40 years (AOR: 1.21), lived with HIV >10 years (AOR: 2.31), CD4 counts <200 cells/μL (AOR: 3.81), nonsuppressed viral load (AOR: 1.28), history of opportunistic infections (AOR: 1.54), WHO clinical stage III & IV (AOR: 1.37, & 2.23, respectively), and history of parasitic infestation (AOR: 2.81).
Conclusions
A sizeable proportion of subjects were found anaemic. Female sex, older age, longer periods lived with the virus, lower CD4 count, nonsuppressed viral load, history of opportunistic infections, WHO clinical stages III and IV, and history of parasitic infestation were the contributing factors. Therefore, to improve the anaemic status and living circumstances of HIV-positive patients, immediate action on the linked variable is needed.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Evaluating and checking subsurface models is essential before their use to support optimum subsurface development decision making. Conventional geostatistical modeling workflows (e.g., two-point variogram-based geostatistics and multiple-point statistics) may fail to reproduce complex realistic geological patterns (e.g., channels), or be constrained by the limited training images and computational cost. Deep learning, specifically generative adversarial network (GAN), has been applied for subsurface modeling due to its ability to reproduce spatial and geological patterns, but may fail to reproduce commonly observed nonstationary subsurface patterns and often rely on many training images with the inability to explore realizations around specific geological scenarios. We propose an enhanced model checking workflow demonstrated by evaluating the performance of single image GAN (SinGAN)-based 2D image realizations for the case of channelized subsurface reservoirs to support robust uncertainty around geological scenarios. The SinGAN is able to generate nonstationary realizations from a single training image. Our minimum acceptance criteria expand on the work of Leuangthong, Boisvert, and others tailored to the nonstationary, single training image approach of SinGAN by evaluating the facies proportion, spatial continuity, and multiple-point statistics through histogram, semivariogram, and n-point histogram, along with evaluating the nonstationarity reproduction through multiple distribution checks ranging from local scale pixel distribution to multiscale local distribution. Additionally, our workflow incorporates reduced-dimensionality analysis through self-attention, providing a flexible approach for deep learning-based enhanced model realization to single training image comparison. With our proposed workflows, the robust application of SinGAN is possible to explore uncertainty around geological scenarios.

Musculoskeletal disorders or MSDs are soft tissue injuries caused by sudden or sustained exposure to repetitive motion, force, vibration and awkward positions. IT Professionals represent an occupational group where chances to develop MSDs are high because of their work pattern, in which they have fixed or constrained body position, continual repetition of movements, force concentrated on small parts of the body, like hand or wrist or a pace of work that does not allow sufficient recovery between movements. In India, many studies were done to evaluate the prevalence of MSDs among other occupational groups but not much among IT Professionals. This study has been carried out to determine the prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) among IT Professionals. The study design was cross sectional with information technology (IT) Professionals working in Technopark Thiruvananthapuram as the study population. The sampling method used for the survey is the simple random sampling. Data was collected using a modified version of Dutch musculoskeletal questionnaire. Chi-square (χ2) test was applied for statistical significance and associations were assessed through p value with 95% confidence interval. Prevalence of work related MSD during last 12 months, was 36.57%. The common prevalence of work related MSD reported during last 12 months based on their body region were neck (83.42), shoulders (76.57%), and back (61.71%). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of experience, sitting for long period, using key board and working in the same posture for long period. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of age, BMI, gender, education. The study has concluded that MSD is prevalent among IT Professionals working in Technopark Thiruvananthapuram..

Authors: Dr. V Suresh  
Published: March 2024

Ecosystem operated by Centralized ride-sharing system, where customers have limited access to data and information. This creates a lack of transparency and makes it difficult for users to evaluate the quality of the service they receive. These operators charge a commission for their services and increases the fare heavily during peak hours. Such things operate under a set of rules and regulations, which can limit the flexibility of the service. They collect and store a significant amount of user data, including location, payment information, and personal details. Cyber attacks or identity theft by compromise the privacy of the users and make them vulnerable.
As an automated peer-managed version of Ola and Uber, the proposed solution is decentralized application, that utilizes trustless smart contracts. The model eliminates middle-men and projected fare is reduced. This is revolutionary where disputes can be sorted out and moved by trust-less smart contracts with legal liability.
Improved privacy, cost effectiveness and ride fairness of the proposed solutions shown by experimental results.

FOOD SECURITY AND RAJASTHAN
Authors: Himani Verma  
Published: March 2024

This research paper explores the nuanced understanding of "food security," tracing its evolution from a mere "availability at all times of adequate world food supply" in the 1970s to Amartya Sen's comprehensive perspective on entitlements in the 1980s. Sen's emphasis on entitlements, beyond mere food availability, distinguishes his approach from traditional notions of effective demand. While Keynes' effective demand related to monetary income in a capitalist economy, Sen's analysis extends to a "mixed economy" with multiple classes.
In the context of Rajasthan, this study reveals the intricate dynamics of food security, considering diverse demographics, geographical variations, and vulnerability indicators. Urbanization trends, examined through three distinct phases, present potential implications for food distribution and accessibility across regions. Recognizing the heterogeneity of regions in Rajasthan, the paper stresses the importance of tailored policies that account for climatic variations, regional interests, and health demands.
A thorough investigation into the nutritional status of the population highlights concerning trends, particularly the prevalence of anemia and malnutrition among women and children. Despite advancements in education and awareness, persistent nutritional challenges demand a holistic approach addressing both immediate and underlying causes.
In conclusion, this research underscores the multi-faceted nature of food security challenges in Rajasthan. It advocates for targeted interventions incorporating sustainable agriculture, improved infrastructure, and inclusive policies. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity and malnutrition, the paper provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners striving to enhance food security in the region.Top of Form

Crystallographic insights into monovalent thallium incorporation: Exploring hydropyrochlore structure for environmental remediation
Authors: Taddei Alice , Bindi Luca , Lepore Giovanni O. , Skogby Henrik , Bonazzi Paola 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Hydropyrochlore, ideally (H2O,)2Nb2(O,OH)6(H2O), is a cubic mineral (space group Fd3m, a = 10.56-10.59 Å, Z = 8) belonging to the pyrochlore supergroup (general formula: A2−mB2X6−wY1−n). The K-rich variety of this species is unique to the Lueshe syenitic-carbonatitic deposit (D.R. Congo), where it occurs as the alteration product of primary (Ca,Na)2Nb2O6F pyrochlores. The structure of this mineral is made of a B2X6 (B = Nb, Ti; X = O, OH) framework that generates tunnels along the [110] direction, where the interstitial sites are partially occupied by water molecules and minor amounts of different cations. These features form the basis for the ion-exchange properties of hydropyrochlore, making it a promising candidate as a mineral sink for heavy metals (e.g., Tl+) dispersed in aqueous matrices, with interesting environmental implications.
Tl+ incorporation was induced through imbibition experiments in a diluted Clerici solution using single crystals of hydropyrochlore from Lueshe (D.R. Congo); the modifications induced by Tl+ incorporation were then evaluated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), electron microprobe analyses (EMPA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
After Tl+ imbibition, a dramatic increase of the A-site electron density (n.e− from ~4 to ~60) confirms the entry of a substantial amount of Tl+ at this site (up to about 70%), leading to a lengthening of the A-X distances and the consequent expansion of the unit cell. A decrease of the site scattering at the Y' site (from ~9 to ~4 e−) also occurs, suggesting a loss of aqueous species. Although the predominance of neutral H2O molecules at the interstitial sites of hydropyrochlore from Lueshe is widely accepted by the mineralogical community, our crystal-chemical and FT-IR data provide evidence that the dominant species might be the hydronium ion, with significant implications on the nomenclature of the pyrochlore supergroup.
Understanding the crystallographic aspects of hydropyrochlore as a potential waste form for monovalent thallium immobilization not only addresses a pressing environmental concern, but also contributes to the broader field of waste management.

Authors: Moore DaKysha , Parker Sharon D , Khalaf Zahra Fazil 
Published: March 2024

Some church leaders work to increase HIV testing and spread messages to reduce stigma. This study focuses on how leaders of North Carolina churches considered welcoming and affirming by the LGBTQ+ community discuss and disseminate information about HIV/AIDS to church members and communities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six leaders of different denominations between April and May 2023. A thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews found three main approaches: 1) HIV is not addressed directly, but we are here; 2) provide access to educational resources; and 3) fight stigma. Results confirm welcoming/affirming churches could play a significant role in, not only educating their communities about HIV, but also reducing the stigma associated with the disease.

Therapeutic Target in Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Mehrabadi Shima , Alinaghipour Azam , Khalili-tanha Ghazaleh , Avan Amir 
Published: March 2024

Abstract:
As the third most prevalent cancer, there is no convincing treatment for colorectal cancer.
Growth Hormone-releasing Hormone (GHRH) is an important hormone for the growth and maturity
of humans and other animals. Also, recent studies show both GHRH and GHRH receptor to be expressed
in many types of cancers, such as lung, breast, colon, ovarian, gastric, and pancreatic cancer.
GHRH has been shown to augment the growth and proliferation of cancer cells in in vivo and in vitro
studies, but studies have shown that its antagonist can inhibit the growth or even metastasis of cancer
cells. The development of many classes of GHRH-R antagonists over the past three decades has
shown strong in vivo and in vitro growth inhibitory effects on cancer. The present study is an attempt
to review the studies on the association between GHRH and colorectal cancer and examine if the
hormone can be targeted for therapy or used as a prognostic marker for colorectal cancer or not.
Hypoperfusion of Amygdala in Chronic Migraine: An Exploratory Quantitative
Perfusion Imaging using 3D Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling
Authors: Jiang Yujiao , Li Xin , Zhao Shuqiang , Liu Mengqi , Chen Zhiye 
Published: March 2024

Background::
Although the amygdala has structural and functional abnormalities in Chronic Migraine (CM), less is known about the altered perfusion of the
amygdala in CM.

Objective::
The current study aimed to assess amygdala perfusion in CM using a contrast agent-free and quantitative approach.

Methods::
15 Normal Controls (NC) and 13 patients with CM during the migraine interval were assessed for brain structure and subjected to 3D Pseudo-
Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (3D-PCASL) MR imaging. The Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) value of the amygdala was automatically extracted
based on the individual amygdala mask for all participants. The independent sample t-test, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and
correlation analysis were used to evaluate the perfusion changes in CM.

Results::
Bilateral amygdala cerebral perfusion was lower in CM (left amygdala, 42.21±4.49 ml/100mg/min; right amygdala, 42.38±4.41 ml/100mg/min)
than in NC (left amygdala, 48.31±6.92 ml/100mg/min; right amygdala, 47.88±6.53 ml/100mg/min) (left, p = 0.01; right, p = 0.02). There was no
significant correlation between the perfusion of bilateral amygdalas and the clinical variables. Also, there was no significant difference in the
volume of bilateral amygdalas between the two groups. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the CBF values of the left and right amygdala was
0.78 (95%CI: 0.58-0.91) and 0.75 (95%CI: 0.55-0.89), respectively. The cut-off value was 44.24 ml/100mg/min (left amygdala, with sensitivity
76.90% and specificity 78.70%) and 46.75 ml/100mg/min (right amygdala, with sensitivity 92.3% and specificity 58.80%), respectively.

Conclusion::
CM presented bilateral hypoperfusion in the amygdala, offering potential diagnostic value in distinguishing CM from NC. The 3D-PCASL could
be regarded as a simple and efficient neuroimaging tool to assess the perfusion status in CM patients.
