Maleo birds (Macrocephalon maleo) generally have habitats in forests near hot springs, but in East Luwu Regency their habitat is found on the shores of Lake Towuti. It is suspected that the habitat of maleo birds at the site has different characteristics. This study aims to identify the vegetation characteristics of maleo bird habitat in the sleeping area and tread where to lay eggs. Vegetation analysis was carried out by purposive sampling with a plot size of 20 m x 20 m in the sleeping area, and 5 m x 5 m in the laying site where the egg-laying was located. The data collected are the name of the type, diameter, the individual number of trees, poles, stakes, and seedlings. The results showed that in sleeping areas, macadamia hildebrandii trees have the highest INP values. Macadamia hildebrandii fruit is thought to be one of [1]the feeds for Maleo birds. In egg-laying habitats, Imperata cylindrica has the highest INP compared to other types. On the tread of the egg-laying nests can be seen maleo birds eating grass grains. There are differences in ecological index [2]values found in sleeping habitats, namely H'= 2.24 (medium), Dmg= 3.02 (low), and E= 0.81 (high). However, in egg-laying habitats, the Ecological Index values found were H'= 0.62 (low), Dmg= 0.93 (low) and E= 0.30 (low). The discovery of maleo birds in Lake Towuti TWA makes the area one of the remaining in situ habitats in South Sulawesi and can be a consideration for the government to maintain and preserve it.

Calophyllum inophyllum L. is one of species that has been identified as a source of oil suitable for biofuel, cosmetics and medicine. Until now, the propagation of this species uses generative methods. In the forest tree breeding program, after a plus tree is selected a vegetative propagation technique must be developed to maintain the genetic potential of the parent tree. This study was conducted to determine the growth response of selected clones in Provenance Seed Stand of C. inophyllum in Wonogiri, Central Java propagated using the grafting method. The research used was arranged in Randomized Completely Design with 22 clones as the parent tree treatments. Each treatment consisted of 5 grafted seedlings and repeated in 4 times. The results showed that the survival percentage of grafted seedlings ranges from 15 – 100 % at 2 months of age, which showed a fairly high variation among the selected clones. Increasing the success of the grafting technique on the C. inophyllum clones still needs to be done so that it can provide vegetative material for clone testing and operational planting. It is important to be conducted in order to produce C. inophyllum stands with high fruit productivity and oil yield.

Ancient Chinese Philosophy and the formation of Modern Chinese Piano Art
Authors: Zhernosenko Irina Aleksandrovna , Lun Tszyayui 
Published: February 2024

The article examines the influence of ancient Chinese philosophical concepts on the formation of modern piano art in China. Ancient Chinese materialistic philosophy is based on such teachings as Wu-xing and Yin-Yang, the Great Limit (Tai Chi), the eight trigrams and others. With the passage of time and the rapid development of science, these philosophical concepts not only did not lose their significance, but also had a powerful influence on the formation of modern Chinese piano creativity, deeply influenced the form and cultural connotation of Chinese music, and also became the theoretical basis for the works of many modern composers. The philosophical and aesthetic Taiji system presented by composer Zhao Xiaosheng, integrated into the modern piano composition system, marked the beginning of a revolution in the field of piano art, combining the theoretical foundations of traditional Chinese philosophy and the principles of modern composition methods. The research methodology is based on philosophical and cultural analysis, musicological analysis, and semantic analysis. Of particular interest is the comparative analysis of the musical and philosophical "Tai chi composition system" by Zhao Xiaoshen, the dodecaphony of A. Schoenberg and the set theory of M. Babbitt and A. Fort, which the Chinese composer considers the sources of his creativity. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that a correlation is proposed between the key categories of ancient Chinese philosophy and modern experiments in the field of musical expression. The authors managed to demonstrate the high degree of influence of Chinese philosophy on music, to clearly show that the basic postulates of ancient Chinese philosophy have been encoded in the basis of traditional Chinese music since ancient times, and in the twentieth century they were the basis of modern Chinese theory of composition, while playing a colossal role in identifying the common foundations of modern composition of the West and East, while preservation of local features of the diverse sphere of these cultures. The emergence and formation of a philosophical and theoretical system of musical composition, based on the concepts of classical Chinese philosophy, organically refracted in the latest achievements of Western music composition, emphasizes the ontological significance of these concepts for both Eastern and Western culture. And the creation of appropriate musical works undoubtedly leads to positive trends in the development of modern Chinese music and classical Chinese philosophy.

Authors: Li Li , Ma Xiaolan , Xie Chunyan , Li Yamin 
Published: February 2024

Background
A previous meta-analysis showed that exercise training improves patients’ physical function and health status. However, the efficacy of resistance exercise (RE) in improving patients’ physical function and nutritional status is uncertain.

Objective
To evaluate the effect of RE on sarcopenia and nutritional indicators in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Design
A meta-analysis.

Methods
Randomized controlled trials up to March 28, 2023 were searched from eight databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and CBM. The risk of bias of the literature eligible for inclusion was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. When a high heterogeneity was detected, a random-effects model was used. Egger’s tests were used to assess publication bias. This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The reliability of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation method, and a meta-analysis of the collected data was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1 software.

Results
Nine studies that met the criteria were identified, and 541 patients were included in these research.

Subjects
The results of this review showed that RE improved patients’ grip strength levels (mean difference (MD) = 4.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) [3.14–5.64]; P < 0.00001), 6 min walking distance (MD = 40.71, 95% CI [8.92–72.49]; P = 0.01), muscle mass (MD = 4.50, 95% CI [2.01–6.99]; P = 0.0004), and serum albumin level (MD = 3.16, 95% CI [1.13–5.19]; P = 0.002) compared with the controls. However, the improvement caused by RE on hemoglobin (MD = 1.69, 95% CI [−1.49 to 4.87], P = 0.30) and cholesterol (MD = 2.33, 95% CI [−5.00 to 9.65], P = 0.53) levels was not statistically significant.

Conclusion
RE showed a significant effect on muscle function and strength of MHD patients. This meta-analysis provides new ideas on the efficacy of RE in muscle function and strength of MHD patients. The use of consistent RE patterns and nutritional interventions should be considered in future studies for further assessment of its effects. In the future, more high-quality studies will be required to verify these results.

Implications for practice
This meta-analysis identified the effect of RE on muscle strength, muscle function, and walking ability of HD patients, and provided a basis for clinical formulation of the optimal timing of intervention and the optimal frequency, intensity, modality, and content of intervention.

Published: February 2024

The pervasive threat of ransomware poses a significant risk to businesses across various scales as cybercriminals continue to exploit vulnerabilities causing severe disruptions and demanding substantial ransom payments. This review conducts a comprehensive literature review delving into recent ransomware attacks to analyze key aspects, including the targeted organizations, attack vectors, threat actors, propagation mechanisms, and the resulting business impact. The study goes beyond a surface examination by exploring the evolving nature of ransomware attacks, encompassing different types, attack vectors, and emerging tactics, such as double extortion, where cybercriminals not only encrypt data but also exfiltrate and threaten to release it publicly unless a ransom is paid. High-profile incidents, including those involving SickKids Hospital, Royal Mail, Dish Network, Five Guys, and ION are scrutinized to glean insights into the intricacies of these attacks. The review also evaluates the effectiveness of existing ransomware defenses and proposes potential strategies for organizations to counteract, identify, and manage ransomware incidents. The findings underscore the critical need for organizations to comprehend the evolving ransomware landscape and implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect both internal and external stakeholders. As ransomware continues to evolve in complexity, this study provides valuable insights emphasizing the importance of proactive defenses to mitigate the risks posed by this growing threat.

Authors: Alali Aloni , Osaro Benjamin , Jaja Ishmael , Abere Sarah , Fajola Akinwumi 
Published: February 2024

Introduction: The economic burden of managing hepatitis B has become a concern because viral hepatitis disease is a global public health problem that resulted in more deaths in 2016 than HIV and AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria individually. This study aimed at estimating the catastrophic health expenditure associated with managing hepatitis B, the predictors of the same and the impoverishing effect that management of hepatitis B has on affected households.
Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional survey involving 135 hepatitis B patients selected through a two-stage sampling. Data was collected using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 25.
Results: The average age of the respondents is 41, 60% male, 40% female. About 71% were married, and nearly two-thirds had tertiary education. Most (90.9%) paid for treatment out-of-pocket, only 7.6% had health insurance, and 1.5% were employer-covered. 71.1% of households spent over 10% of total expenditure on hepatitis B treatment, leading to financial catastrophe. Prevalence of Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) was 71.1%, with a 20% overshoot and a mean positive overshoot of 28.1%. Being employed was protective against CHE. (OR=0.71; 95%CI=1.12 – 1.97) Post-treatment, 25.2% fell into poverty, and 21.5% into extreme poverty.
Conclusion: Majority of hepatitis B patients pay out-of-pocket for healthcare. A major proportion of them are in financial catastrophe as a result of paying for treatment. The heavy reliance on out-of-pocket payment exposes the households of hepatitis B patients to catastrophic health expenditure and treatment of the condition impoverishes the affected households.

A Combined Photolithographic and Molecular‐Assembly Approach to Produce Functional Micropatterns for Applications in the Biosciences
Authors: Falconnet D. , Koenig A. , Assi F. , Textor M. 
Published: September 2004

AbstractChemical patterns have attracted substantial interest for applications in the field of biosensors, fundamental cell–surface interaction studies, tissue engineering, and biomaterials. A novel micropatterning technique is proposed here that combines a top–down approach based on photolithography and a bottom–up strategy through self‐organization of multifunctional molecules. The development of the molecular‐assembly patterning by lift‐off (MAPL) has been driven by the need to economically produce patches incorporating a controlled surface density of bioligands while inhibiting non‐specific adsorption. In the MAPL process, a photoresist pattern is transferred into the desired biochemical pattern by means of spontaneous adsorption of biologically relevant species and photoresist lift‐off. The surface between the interactive patches is subsequently rendered non‐fouling through immobilization of a polycationic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐graft polymer. We demonstrate that surface density of biotin molecules inside adhesive islands can be tailored quantitatively and that cells grow selectively on cell‐adhesive peptide patterns. MAPL is considered to be a valuable addition to the toolbox of soft‐lithography techniques for life‐science applications combining simplicity (no clean‐room equipment needed), cost‐effectiveness, reproducibility on the scale of whole wafer surfaces, and flexibility in terms of pattern geometry, chemistry, and substrate choice.
