Published: December 2023

Indonesia is one of the countries that have a large number of smokers in the world and it keeps increasing every year. Lithuania compared to other European Union countries, is slightly bigger than the European Union average of smoking prevalence. Both of these countries have implemented Tobacco Control Policies for quite a long time. Three research objectives in this research are to review and compare Lithuania and Indonesia’s Tobacco Control Policies; to analyze the situation of smoking behavior in Lithuania and Indonesia; and to analyze the implementation and its impact on smoking behavior of Tobacco Control Policy in Lithuania and Indonesia. Qualitative methods are used to analyze the document for the policy and literature analysis to acquire information about the situation of smoking cases and the implementation of the policy in both countries. This study aims to accomplish a comparative analysis of the Tobacco Control Policy between Lithuania and Indonesia and its impact on the rise of smoking cases. The Indonesian government has set a good Tobacco Control Policy but the implementation of the policy it’s not strict and there are a lot of tobacco product advertisements in Indonesia, this could be the reason why Indonesia has so many smokers and increasing every year. Lithuania has stricter regulations and implementation, and the smokers are decreasing every year, but they have a new group of smoker which is youth smoker that growing rapidly nowadays.

Chile is the largest producer of copper worldwide, where CODELCO, a state-owned enterprise, generates 10% of the global production of this metal. In 2015, the copper mining industry faced significant challenges due to price fluctuations, reaching a minimum of US$ 2.49 per pound. As a result, the cost of operations began to gain greater importance and was highlighted as an important factor to consider.
Not oblivious to the, CODELCO faces the uncertainties of time while seeking to maintain its position in the global market. This article reports how the copper company decided to embark on a different and sustainable path over time: it developed a management system based on Lean methodology to enhance continuous improvement. The outcome is a system called C+ consisting of a set of disciplines, practices, and tools that have improved the company's management.
After years of effort and implementation, the state-owned company managed to establish a new way of doing things, leading it to be recognized in May 2023 by the Shingo Institute at the University of Utah (United States). This recognition made it the world's first mining company to receive this award for excellence in organizational culture. It is an achievement that fuels the ongoing effort for continuous improvement.

Published: December 2023

Like every other prevalent disease process, cardiovascular diseases pose a great risk for the morbidity and mortality of human beings. Pediatric cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a broad spectrum of disorders that affect both the heart and blood vessels in the pediatric population. There have been several epidemiological studies done to highlight the prevalence and incidence of various pediatric CVDs, emphasizing the impact on global child health. Notably, congenital heart defects, acquired heart diseases, and cardiomyopathies contribute to the majority of pediatric CVDs. Understanding the prevalence and distribution of these conditions is important for resource allocation and healthcare planning.
Similarly, several risk factors contribute to the development and progression of pediatric CVD. Genetic predisposition, prenatal exposures, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices all play pivotal roles. Identifying and addressing these risk factors is essential for early intervention and preventive strategies.
However, advances in diagnostic modalities have revolutionized the assessment of pediatric CVD. Non-invasive imaging techniques, genetic testing, and biomarker analyses enable earlier and more accurate detection, facilitating timely intervention and personalized treatment plans. Additionally, emerging therapeutic approaches, including innovative medical interventions and surgical techniques, are transforming the landscape of pediatric CVD management. This abstract aims to serve as a concise resource for clinicians, researchers, and physicians interested in pediatric cardiovascular health. By understanding the epidemiology, recognizing key risk factors, and staying aware of the emerging trends in diagnosis and management, people can contribute to improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life for children affected by cardiovascular diseases.

Hydrate Control in Subsea Natural Gas Production
Authors: Ibrahim Ismaila 
Published: December 2023

One of the most significant technological challenges that this industry faces today is securing the production flow in deep water exploration. Intense conditions of high pressure and low temperatures will favor the formation of the hydrates which could restrict or block the pathway to the extent that there can be a humungous financial loss.
This research was devoted to hydrate control in subsea natural gas production using results from water concentration estimation for reservoir, wellhead and onshore receiving terminal conditions. For illustration, a natural gas stream from the Niger Delta was selected where the transportation medium is a pipeline. Further implementation as part of the hydrate formation assessment input was done on the temperature and pressure profile along this pipeline.
A hydrate inhibition strategy based on monoethylene glycol (MEG) is under consideration. It is revealed that in the case if a temperature falls below 20°C and pressure will increase above 100 bar, then it would be met with a flow configuration in a region where hydrates are formed. Estimation of water concentration thus suffices to give useful information as possible prevention methods to hydrate formation while the gas flow is going on in the pipeline. The actual thermodynamic conditions required for the hydrate formation can also be deduced from the temperature and pressure data.

ImportanceUnderstanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s socioemotional development is critical to plan for ongoing needs in the early intervention and education systems.ObjectiveTo determine if Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3) and Ages and Stages Questionnaire Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2) scores changed during the COVID-19 pandemic among families served by a nurse-visiting program.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective, cohort study took place from 2015 through 2021 and included 4 cohorts (prepandemic, pandemic 1, pandemic 2, and pandemic 3) with differing pandemic exposure at the time of screening. Analysis was conducted from July 2022 through October 2023. Data from the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), a national nurse-visiting program enrolling birthing people during pregnancy and continuing through age 2 years, were used. A total of 60 171 families with a singleton birth at 37 weeks’ gestation or longer and at least 1 valid ASQ-3 and/or ASQ:SE-2 screening in the NFP from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2021, were enrolled.ExposureCOVID-19 pandemic.Main Outcomes and MeasuresOutcomes were a positive screening, defined as scores in the refer area on the ASQ-3 at 10 months and 18 months of age and in the ASQ:SE-2 at 12 months and 18 months of age. Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for positive screening in pandemic cohorts compared with the prepandemic cohort. Covariates included parent age, race and ethnicity, marital status, income, child’s biological sex, and multiparity.ResultsOf 60 171 families enrolled, pandemic cohorts had fewer teenagers, were more likely to be married, and were multiparous. Compared with the prepandemic cohort, all pandemic cohorts had higher odds of positive screening on the ASQ-SE at 12 months (pandemic 1: OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.09-1.66; pandemic 2: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.30-1.96; and pandemic 3: OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.61-2.33) and pandemic 2 and 3 had higher odds of a positive screening at 18 months (pandemic 2: OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.29-2.00 and pandemic 3: OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.50-2.32). On the ASQ-3, pandemic cohorts 2 and 3 were more likely than the prepandemic cohort to screen positive on the communication subscale at 18 months (pandemic 2: OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.17-1.64 and pandemic 3: OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07-1.53).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study, exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the first year of life, was associated with higher odds of positive ASQ:SE-2 screening, even when adjusting for demographics and family risks. These findings suggest that unmeasured community, family, and child factors that changed as a result of the pandemic contributed to delays in young children’s socio-emotional development.

Published: December 2023

AbstractSubjective well‐being has been attracting a considerable amount of attention. Urban planning is expected to play a significant role in improving subjective well‐being. This study focuses on neighborhood environmental cognition as a new intervention target of urban planning and aims to clarify its association with subjective well‐being. We conducted surveys using the element‐recall method to assess neighborhood environmental cognition and the Subjective Well‐being Inventory. Data were collected from 104 respondents over 50 years old living in suburban area of Nara Prefecture, Japan. The results revealed the following: The ability to recall many or diverse elements is positively correlated with subjective well‐being. However, the spatial distribution of the recalled elements was not correlated with subjective well‐being. The components of subjective well‐being, positive affect and negative affect, have different relationships with neighborhood environmental cognition. Further, sex affects the association between negative affect and neighborhood environmental cognition. The ability to recall the elements that are not meant for daily visits is positively correlated with subjective well‐being. These findings suggest that, in addition to making cities walkable, creating places that are easy to be recognized and recalled by residents is also important.

Published: December 2023

AbstractObjectivesTo develop radiomics models based on automatic segmentation of the pretreatment apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps for predicting the biochemical recurrence (BCR) of advanced prostate cancer (PCa).MethodsA total of 100 cases with pathologically confirmed PCa were retrospectively included in this study. These cases were randomly divided into training (n = 70) and test (n = 30) datasets. Two predictive models were constructed based on the combination of age, prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, Gleason score, and clinical staging before therapy and the prostate area (Model_1) or PCa area (Model_2). Another two predictive models were constructed based on only prostate area (Model_3) or PCa area (Model_4). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) and precision‐recall (PR) curve analysis were used to analyze the models’ performance.ResultsSixty‐five patients without BCR (BCR−) and 35 patients with BCR (BCR+) were confirmed. The age, PSA, volume, diameter and ADC value of the prostate and PCa were not significantly different between the BCR− and BCR+ groups or between the training and test datasets (all p > 0.05). The AUCs were 0.637 (95% CI: 0.434–0.838), 0.841 (95% CI: 0.695–0.940), 0.840 (95% CI: 0.698–0.983), and 0.808 (95% CI: 0.627–0.988) for Model_1 to Model_4 in the test dataset without significant difference. The 95% bootstrap confidence intervals for the areas under the PR curve of the four models were not statistically different.ConclusionThe radiomics models based on automatically segmented prostate and PCa areas on the pretreatment ADC maps developed in our study can be promising in predicting BCR of advanced PCa.

Published: December 2023

SummaryIn this article, for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with non‐strict feedback, a neural adaptive inverse optimal output feedback control design scheme is presented. First, according to the existing inverse optimal criterion, an auxiliary system is established. On this basis, a novel observer is built to evaluate the unpredictable states. Second, in the control process, neural networks (NNs) are applied to estimate the unknown functions. Based on NNs and the backstepping technology, an adaptive neural inverse optimal output feedback controller is established. It is indicated that the proposed scheme could ensure the semi‐globally uniformly ultimately bounded of the closed‐loop system and also achieve the objective of inverse optimality. Eventually, an example is applied to testify the feasibility of this scheme.

Published: December 2023

The significant effect of the strut angle on the mechanical properties of strut‐based lattice structures is systematically explored through experimental and numerical investigations. The highest values of elastic modulus and yield strength, surpassing those observed in cubic lattices with the same relative density, have been experimentally observed at the strut angle of 71.76°. A correlation among elastic modulus, yield strength, and strut angles in lattices, validated by experimental tests, has been identified through developing a theoretical modelling and conducting a detailed finite element analysis. Transition from a bending dominated deformation mechanism to one dominated by compression within the lattice structures has been realized, contingent upon the tailoring of the strut angle. The deformation mechanism of these lattices is significantly influenced by the interplay between ductile bending and brittle failure of the struts. The superior energy absorption and yield strength demonstrated by the optimized lattice design have been underscored through a comparative analysis with other previously reported lattices. These lightweight structures hold promise for applications in the development of mechanical metamaterials with on‐demand mechanical properties.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe fabrication of porous complex oxides with intriguing opto‐functional properties remains a challenge that requires innovative synthetic strategies. In this work, a facile soft template method is developed based on stable micellar solutions formed with lanthanide‐containing heteropolyoxomolybdate and alkaline earth citrates as metal salt precursors and block copolymer as templates. The resulting structures exhibit an effective interfacial Förster resonance energy transfer (IFRET) between the porous CaMoO4:Eu3+ (CEMO) host and the embedded surface‐active carbon dots through the conjugated bonds between Ca2+/Mo6+ cations and the C═O functional groups. Such IFRET process extends of Eu3+ absorption band toward the UV and blue regions, enabling the proof‐of‐concept demonstration of multiresponsive anticounterfeiting codes. The study not only presents a new strategy to prepare porous lanthanide‐doped complex oxides but also provides a feasible way to achieve spectral regulation through interfacial interaction for multifunctional luminescent materials.

AbstractRegular quiescence and activation are important for the function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC), multipotent stem cells that are widely used in the clinic due to their capabilities in tissue repair and inflammatory disease treatment. TNF‐α is previously reported to regulate BMMSC functions, including multilineage differentiation and immunoregulation. The present study demonstrates that TNF‐α impedes quiescence and promotes the activation of BMMSC in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the TNF‐α‐induced expression of KAT2A promotes the succinylation of VCP at K658, which inhibits the interaction between VCP and MFN1 and thus inhibits mitophagy. Furthermore, activated BMMSC exhibits stronger fracture repair and immunoregulation functions in vivo. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of BMMSC quiescence and activation and to improving the effectiveness of BMMSC in clinical applications.
