Prospects of Identifying Hierarchical Triple Mergers for the Third-generation Ground-based Detectors
Authors: Gao Bo , Tang Shao-Peng , Yan Jingzhi , Fan Yi-Zhong 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
A hierarchical triple merger (HTM) constitutes a type of event in which two successive black hole (BH) mergers occur sequentially within the observational window of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, which has an important role in testing general relativity and studying BH population. In this work, we conduct an analysis to determine the feasibility of identifying HTMs from a large GW event catalog using third-generation ground-based GW detectors. By comparing the Bhattacharyya coefficient that measures the overlap between the posterior distributions of the remnant and progenitor BH parameters, we find that the overlap between the event pair can serve as a preliminary filter, which balances between computational demand and the probability of false alarms. Following this initial, time-efficient, yet less accurate screening, a subset of potential HTM candidates will be retained. These candidates will subsequently be subjected to a more precise, albeit time-intensive, method of joint parameter estimation for verification. Ultimately, this process will enable us to robustly identify HTMs.

Abstract
We report on the orbit of the binary system powering the most extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar known to date: NGC 5907 ULX-1 (hereafter ULX1). ULX1 has been the target of a substantial multi-instrument campaign, mainly in the X-ray band, but no clear counterparts are known in other bands. Although ULX1 is highly variable and pulsations can be transient (regardless of the source flux), the timing data collected so far allow us to investigate the orbit of this system. We find an orbital period

Allemagne. Revitalisation du partenariat social dans la « transformation » ?
Authors: Bosch Gerhard 
Published: April 2024

Le modèle allemand de partenariat social s’est fissuré en raison de la dualisation du marché du travail, mais la « transformation » pourrait permettre sa revitalisation. L’évaluation des accords d’avenir dans la métallurgie et l’industrie électrique montre que la participation des représentants des salariés à la « transformation » n’est décisive que dans les secteurs où les syndicats et la codétermination sont forts. La « transformation » et la numérisation ont toutefois été à l’origine d’importantes réformes de la politique de négociation collective et des politiques publiques : elles ont fourni le « récit » de la nécessité d’un nouvel agenda politique avec une forte participation des partenaires sociaux.
L’ingénierie sociale : la prise en compte du facteur humain dans la cybercriminalité
Authors: Gross Denise 
Published: April 2024

La révolution numérique a enrichi notre dictionnaire de nouveaux concepts. Nous avons entendu parler de piratage, de cybercriminalité, de cybersécurité, de hacker et de cybercriminel. Or, il y a quelques années, l’approche du facteur humain ne semblait pas prioritaire dans le cadre de l’analyse des problématiques liées à la sécurité informatique. Ces derniers temps, le terme « ingénierie sociale » sort enfin de sa coquille et se popularise pour expliquer un grand nombre de faits d’actualité.
Les métadonnées, source de toute information
Authors: Dupent Sébastien 
Published: April 2024

Avant l’ère du numérique et au début de celle-ci, les métadonnées étaient les bribes d’information écrite, tamponnée ou imprimée sur différents supports tels que les photos, les enveloppes, les documents, etc. Lorsque les premiers photographes des années 1800 ont gravé des noms sur le cadre d’un daguerréotype, ils ont créé les premières métadonnées photographiques. Si l’on peut penser dans un premier temps que le traitement et l’analyse des métadonnées sont réservés aux experts informatiques (I), il paraît essentiel que ces dernières constituent un atout dans l’obtention d’informations clefs sur la provenance et l’authenticité d’un document (II).
Reconnaissance « sociale » au travail, motivation intrinsèque et performance des agents d’un hôpital public sénégalais
Authors: Fall Amar , Ndao Assane 
Published: April 2024

Cette recherche examine les relations entre la reconnaissance de la part des supérieurs hiérarchiques, la motivation intrinsèque et la performance au travail. Elle soulève une problématique partiellement explorée en comportement organisationnel, notamment dans le milieu hospitalier. Prenant appui sur un échantillon de 158 agents d’un hôpital public sénégalais, cette recherche apporte un début de réponse à de nombreux travaux théoriques qui aboutissent à la conclusion d’un effet potentiellement plus puissant de la reconnaissance dite sociale, comparativement à la reconnaissance dite financière. Les résultats, issus d’une modélisation par équations structurelles sous LISREL, complétée par une analyse des effets indirects (Hayes, 2013), montrent que la reconnaissance de la part des supérieurs hiérarchiques peut effectivement constituer un déterminant majeur de la motivation et de la performance au travail. En effet, cette forme de reconnaissance au travail présente un fort pouvoir explicatif de la motivation et de la performance des agents. Plus précisément, elle est fortement associée à leur motivation intrinsèque et à leur performance dans la tâche. Elle explique au moins 23 % de la variation de la motivation des agents et plus de 74 % de leur performance dans la tâche lorsque ces derniers sont intrinsèquement motivés. Par conséquent, cette recherche apporte un soutien empirique notable à de nombreuses avancées théoriques, non encore élucidées d’un point de vue pratique. Elle permet, en revanche, de noter que l’influence positive de la reconnaissance de la part des supérieurs hiérarchiques sur la performance au travail dépend, en réalité, du type de performance évaluée : performance dans la tâche ou performance contextuelle. Parallèlement, cette recherche met en évidence le rôle déterminant de la motivation intrinsèque pour favoriser la performance des agents. Elle implique ainsi des contributions théoriques et managériales quasi inédites, résultant d’une recherche dont les prémisses théoriques n’ont pas encore suffisamment de réponses.
La nature a-t-elle besoin de l’administration ? Pour une réévaluation de la propriété privée et du contrat dans la gestion publique de l’environnement
Authors: Quéinnec Erwan , Facchini François 
Published: April 2024

La propriété privée et la liberté d’entreprendre sont-elles néfastes à l’environnement ? Sans doute, si l’on en croit une récente proposition de loi recommandant de constitutionnaliser la protection des communs environnementaux, à leur détriment. Cet article met, conceptuellement et empiriquement, cette croyance normative à l’épreuve, en élargissant le propos à la relation entre environnement d’une part, propriété privée et liberté contractuelle d’autre part. Sur le plan conceptuel, l’environnement est un bien non exclusif et rival dont la préservation appelle effectivement régulation. Celle-ci peut être publique, selon ce qu’en conçoivent deux écoles de pensée économique – économie écologique, économie de l’environnement – plaidant respectivement pour la politique discrétionnaire et le principe pollueur-payeur (théories interventionnistes) ; elle peut aussi être privée, comme l’analysent deux autres écoles – économie des communs, écologie de marché – plaidant pour la gouvernance coopérative et le droit de propriété (théories libérales). Chacune de ces régulations ayant ses mérites et limites, ce qu’en dit la théorie économique est utile à la conception de la politique environnementale. En France, celle-ci est d’orientation interventionniste, conformément aux recommandations de l’économie écologique ; or, ses limites empiriques, notamment attestées par la Cour des comptes, correspondent aux prédictions des théories libérales. À rebours d’une croyance répandue, l’examen invite donc la politique publique à mieux intégrer la régulation privée en son sein, plutôt qu’à déduire l’ imperium de la première d’un échec présumé de la seconde à préserver l’environnement.
Les Jeux olympiques à l’épreuve du droit (et inversement)
Authors: Latty Franck 
Published: April 2024

Les Jeux olympiques s’inscrivent dans un environnement juridique particulier, déterminé en grande partie par une organisation privée : le Comité international olympique. La prépondérance de la normativité privée qui en émane se vérifie à maints égards lorsque les jo sont scrutés sous l’angle juridique. Cet examen montre incidemment que les conceptions stato-centrées du droit résistent mal à l’épreuve des Jeux olympiques. Pour autant, l’autonomie du sport, revendiquée par le cio , rencontre des limites, ainsi qu’en témoigne la question du respect des droits humains dans le contexte des Jeux .
JO, pouvoir et spectacle
Authors: Floccari Stéphane 
Published: April 2024

Penser l’olympisme dans sa version restaurée ne peut se faire sans tenir compte de deux champs d’activité dont il est inséparable depuis ses origines et que l’histoire récente n’a cessé de relier l’un à l’autre jusqu’à les rendre indissociables : celui du pouvoir politique, d’une part, et celui des spectacles sportifs de masse, d’autre part. C’est cette articulation qu’il convient d’examiner pour rendre compte de ce qui, au croisement du politique et du sportif, renouvelle le champ axiologique d’une activité de loisir ayant pris une place considérable dans l’existence des individus et dans l’organisation des sociétés, en un peu plus d’un siècle .

Published: April 2024

Purpose:
To investigate the effect of age on visual outcomes after the bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods:
A total of 290 patients (580 eyes) who underwent bilateral implantation of a trifocal IOL were enrolled in this retrospective case–control study. Patients were divided into five age groups: 45 to 49, 50 to 54, 55 to 59, 60 to 64, and 65 years and older. Postoperative monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA, respectively), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), binocular distance-corrected defocus curve, spectacle dependence for near and distance vision, and patient satisfaction scores were compared among the five groups.

Results:

The 45 to 49 years group had significantly better mean UDVA (0.02 ± 0.05 logMAR) and UNVA (0.02 ± 0.04 logMAR) than the 65 years and older group (0.06 ± 0.09 and 0.09 ± 0.09 logMAR;
P
= .029 and
P
< .001; respectively). However, no significant differences were observed in the mean CDVA among the groups. Binocular visual performance of the 45 to 49 years group was better than that of the 65 years and older age group at defocuses of +1.00, +0.50, −1.00, and −3.00 D. No significant differences were observed in spectacle dependence for near and distance vision or in patient satisfaction scores among the five groups.

Conclusions:
Bilateral implantation of trifocal IOLs can provide excellent near and distance vision in both young and older patients. However, UDVA and UNVA revealed considerably worse results in the older group, although no significant difference was observed in CDVA and postoperative refractive errors by age.

Health facility-based interventions and the uptake of contraception among people living with HIV: A systematic review & meta-analysis
Authors: Revathy R , Chaurasia Himanshu , Shetty Siddesh , Joshi Beena 
Published: April 2024

Background & objectives:
The prong 2 of 4 prong strategy introduced by the World Health Organization aims at averting unintended pregnancies among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This systematic review aimed to generate evidence on the effectuality of facility-based interventions in improving uptake of modern and dual contraception, for reducing unmet family planning (FP) needs and unintended pregnancies among PLHIV.

Methods:
Articles evaluating facility-based interventions to integrate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and FP published in English language were included. Eligible studies were identified from electronic and lateral search from three databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science) and grey literature. HIV care with no/minimal focus on FP was considered a comparator. Quality was assessed using design-appropriate tools. Descriptive analysis was presented in tables. Uptake of dual methods, unmet FP needs and unintended pregnancies were included in the meta-analysis to estimate pooled odds ratio (OR) with random effect model, P and I
2 values.

Results:
The search yielded 2112 results. After excluding duplicates and unfit articles, 17 were found eligible for review and nine for meta-analysis. The pooled OR for uptake of dual contraception was 1.69 (1.14, 2.5) (P=0.008; I
2=90%), for unmet FP needs was 0.58 (0487, 0.69) (P<0.00001; I
2=0%) and for unintended pregnancies was 0.6 (0.32, 1.1) (P=0.1, I
2=38%).

Interpretation & conclusions:
The results of this meta-analysis suggest that health facility-based interventions to integrate HIV and FP services do result in improved uptake of dual methods and reduce unmet need for contraception along with a protective trend on incidence of unintended pregnancies. Such facility-based integration would ensure universal access to effective contraception and facilitate in achieving Sustainable Development Goals that aim at ending epidemics like HIV.

Authors: Liu Fengyi , Duan Pan 
Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION: With the large-scale integration of new energy into the grid, the safety and reliability of the power grid have been severely tested. The optimized configuration of micro power systems is a key element of intelligent power systems, playing a crucial role in reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.
OBJECTIVES: a power grid optimization scheduling model is proposed that comprehensively considers the issues of power grid operating costs and environmental governance costs
METHODS: Using quantum particle swarm optimization method to optimize the objective function with the lowest system operating cost and the lowest environmental governance cost. In order to improve the search ability of the algorithm and eliminate the problem of easily getting stuck in local optima, the Levy flight strategy is introduced, and the variable weight method is used to update the particle factor to improve the optimization ability of the algorithm.
RESULTS: The simulation results show that the improved quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm has strong optimization ability, and the scheduling model proposed in this paper can achieve good scheduling results in different scheduling tasks.
CONCLUSION: （1）The improved particle swarm algorithm, in comparison to itspredecessor, boasts a greater degree of optimization accuracy, aswifter convergence rate, and the capability to avoid the algorithm'sdescent into the local optimal solution at a later stage of the process. （2）The proposed model can effectively reduce users’ electricity costs and environmental pollution, and promote the optimized operation of microgrids.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
Preoperative knowledge of mutational status of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is essential to guide the individualized precision therapy.
AIM
To develop a combined model that integrates clinical and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) features to predict gastric GISTs with specific genetic mutations, namely KIT exon 11 mutations or KIT exon 11 codons 557-558 deletions.
METHODS
A total of 231 GIST patients with definitive genetic phenotypes were divided into a training dataset and a validation dataset in a 7:3 ratio. The models were constructed using selected clinical features, conventional CT features, and radiomics features extracted from abdominal CE-CT images. Three models were developed: ModelCT sign, modelCT sign + rad, and model CTsign + rad + clinic. The diagnostic performance of these models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Delong test.
RESULTS
The ROC analyses revealed that in the training cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) values for modelCT sign, modelCT sign + rad, and modelCT sign + rad + clinic for predicting KIT exon 11 mutation were 0.743, 0.818, and 0.915, respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUC values for the same models were 0.670, 0.781, and 0.811, respectively. For predicting KIT exon 11 codons 557-558 deletions, the AUC values in the training cohort were 0.667, 0.842, and 0.720 for modelCT sign, modelCT sign + rad, and modelCT sign + rad + clinic, respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUC values for the same models were 0.610, 0.782, and 0.795, respectively. Based on the decision curve analysis, it was determined that the modelCT sign + rad + clinic had clinical significance and utility.
CONCLUSION
Our findings demonstrate that the combined modelCT sign + rad + clinic effectively distinguishes GISTs with KIT exon 11 mutation and KIT exon 11 codons 557-558 deletions. This combined model has the potential to be valuable in assessing the genotype of GISTs.

BACKGROUND
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent and life-threatening malignancies worldwide. Syndecan-2 methylation (mSDC2) testing has emerged as a widely used biomarker for early detection of CRC in stool and serum samples. Cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent and life-threatening malignancies worldwide. mSDC2 testing has emerged as a widely used biomarker for early detection of CRC in stool and serum samples.
AIM
To validate the effectiveness of fecal DNA mSDC2 testing in the detection of CRC among a high-risk Chinese population to provide evidence-based data for the development of diagnostic and/or screening guidelines for CRC in China.
METHODS
A high-risk Chinese cohort consisting of 1130 individuals aged 40-79 years was selected for evaluation via fecal mSDC2 testing. Sensitivity and specificity for CRC, advanced adenoma (AA) and advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) were determined. High-risk factors for the incidence of colorectal lesions were determined and a logistic regression model was constructed to reflect the efficacy of the test.
RESULTS
A total of 1035 high-risk individuals were included in this study according to established criteria. Among them, 16 suffered from CRC (1.55%), 65 from AA (6.28%) and 189 from non-AAs (18.26%); 150 patients were diagnosed with polyps (14.49%). Diagnoses were established based upon colonoscopic and pathological examinations. Sensitivities of the mSDC2 test for CRC and AA were 87.50% and 40.00%, respectively; specificities were 95.61% for other groups. Positive predictive values of the mSDC2 test for CRC, AA and ACN were 16.09%, 29.89% and 45.98%, respectively; the negative predictive value for CRC was 99.79%. After adjusting for other high-risk covariates, mSDC2 test positivity was found to be a significant risk factor for the occurrence of ACN (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Our findings confirmed that offering fecal mSDC2 testing and colonoscopy in combination for CRC screening is effective for earlier detection of malignant colorectal lesions in a high-risk Chinese population.
MicroRNA-298 determines the radio-resistance of colorectal cancer cells by directly targeting human dual-specificity tyrosine(Y)-regulated kinase 1A
Authors: Shen Mei-Zhu , Zhang Yong , Wu Fang , Shen Mei-Zhen , Liang Jun-Lin , Zhang Xiao-Long , Liu Xiao-Jian , Li Xin-Shu , Wang Ren-Sheng 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
Radiotherapy stands as a promising therapeutic modality for colorectal cancer (CRC); yet, the formidable challenge posed by radio-resistance significantly undermines its efficacy in achieving CRC remission.
AIM
To elucidate the role played by microRNA-298 (miR-298) in CRC radio-resistance.
METHODS
To establish a radio-resistant CRC cell line, HT-29 cells underwent exposure to 5 gray ionizing radiation that was followed by a 7-d recovery period. The quantification of miR-298 levels within CRC cells was conducted through quantitative RT-PCR, and protein expression determination was realized through Western blotting. Cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and proliferation by clonogenic assay. Radio-induced apoptosis was discerned through flow cytometry analysis.
RESULTS
We observed a marked upregulation of miR-298 in radio-resistant CRC cells. MiR-298 emerged as a key determinant of cell survival following radiation exposure, as its overexpression led to a notable reduction in radiation-induced apoptosis. Intriguingly, miR-298 expression exhibited a strong correlation with CRC cell viability. Further investigation unveiled human dual-specificity tyrosine(Y)-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) as miR-298’s direct target.
CONCLUSION
Taken together, our findings underline the role played by miR-298 in bolstering radio-resistance in CRC cells by means of DYRK1A downregulation, thereby positioning miR-298 as a promising candidate for mitigating radio-resistance in CRC.
