IntroductionThe benefits of walking on health and well-being is well established and regarded as the most accessible form of physical activity (PA) that most individuals can incorporate into their lives. Despite the benefits, the impact of a competitive walking intervention combined with a prize incentive in the workplace is yet to be established. The aim of this intervention was to promote PA among university employees through teams-based competition with a prize incentive targeted towards the recommended 10,000 steps per day.MethodsA total of 49 employees participated and formed eight departmental teams ranging from Senior Admin management, Educational &amp; Social work, Nursing &amp; Midwifery, Sport &amp; Exercise, Health Sciences, Admin Assistant, Library, and IT to compete in a walking intervention. Each team was handed an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT from Monday to Friday to record their walking steps. Steps. Post intervention participants completed an open-ended survey to provide their views about the intervention.ResultsThe ActiGraph findings determined that steps increased by 4,799 per day from daily baseline of 5,959 to 10,758 throughout this intervention. The themes from qualitative data showed that the prize incentive and competitive nature of this intervention has motivated staff to walk more, changed their behaviour, enjoyed the team-based competition, and improved perceived productivity in the workplace.Discussion and conclusionThis intervention increased employees’ daily steps by 4,799 and met the 10,000 steps guideline. The ‘Health Sciences’ team recorded the highest steps 531,342 followed by the ‘Education and Social Work’ accumulating 498,045 steps throughout this intervention. This intervention with prize incentive demonstrated a positive impact on employees personal and work-based outcomes as well as contributed to the workplace PA, health, and wellbeing literature, and more specifically, to the scarce research focused on university settings.

IntroductionThe objective of this paper is to investigate whether an aging workforce is associated with an increase in work-related non-fatal injuries and to explore the underlying reasons for this potential increase.MethodsAged workers were defined as those who were at least 55-years-old. Work-related non-fatal injuries were assessed in aged and young workers who were registered with the workers’ compensation system from 2017 to 2021 of South Korea.ResultsThe mean estimated rate of work-related non-fatal injuries of aged workers (0.88/100) was about 2.5-times higher than that of younger workers (0.35/100). Most work-related non-fatal injuries in the older adults were in individuals working in the “construction sector” (36.0%), those with “elementary occupations (unskilled workers)” (45.0%), and those with employment status of “daily worker” (44.0%). “Trip &amp; slip” (28.7%) and “falling” (19.6%) were more frequent types of work-related non-fatal injuries in aged workers relative to young workers. The category of “buildings, structures, and surfaces” was a more frequent cause of work-related non-fatal injuries in aged workers than young workers.DiscussionThe incidence of non-fatal work-related injuries is higher among aged workers compared to their younger counterparts. The increased occurrence of aged workers participating in precarious employment and jobs, along with the greater physical vulnerability, is likely the cause of their higher rate of work-related non-fatal injuries.

BackgroundAlthough efforts have been made by certain non-governmental organizations, like the Donkey Sanctuary, SPANA (Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad), and Brooke Ethiopia, to change the attitudes and practices of donkey owners toward improving the health and welfare of working donkeys, their impact has not been assessed so far. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess and compare donkeys’ health and welfare problems in community-based intervention areas versus non-intervention areas in selected districts of Sidama regional state, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsFor the animal-based welfare assessments, 200 donkeys each were selected and included from intervention and non-intervention areas. The selected donkeys were then assessed for their welfare and health status using five important parameters, namely, body condition score, presence and severity of wounds, behavior, presence and severity of lameness, and presence of other signs of illness/diseases.ResultsThe prevalence and severity of lameness and wounds on donkeys managed in non-intervention areas were higher than those observed in community-based intervention areas. The prevalence of lameness in the non-intervention areas (25.5%) was over two times higher than the prevalence in the intervention areas (12%). Likewise, over 37% of the donkeys in the non-intervention areas were wounded, of which 64% were suffering moderate to severe wounds. Moreover, donkeys in the intervention areas had better body condition and were alert and friendly upon human approach. There was a statistically significant difference (p &lt; 0.01) between the intervention and non-intervention areas in all the considered parameters, namely, the presence of lameness, wound, body condition score, demeanor, and response to approach.Conclusion and recommendationsBased on this study’s findings, the community-based intervention approach was found to improve the health and welfare of working donkeys. Therefore, comprehensive and continuous equine health and welfare promotion through community-based intervention approaches should be designed and implemented to improve the welfare of working equines in the country.
The Advent of Semi-Elective Lung Transplantation—Prolonged Static Cold Storage at 10°C

Published: January 2024

Since the early days of clinical lung transplantation the preservation of donor organs has become a fairly standardized procedure and most centers do follow similar processes. This includes the use of low-potassium high dextran flush solutions and static cold storage (SCS) in a cooler filled with ice. Depending on the length of SCS, organs usually arrive at the recipient hospital at a temperature of 0°C–4°C. The question of the optimal storage temperature for donor lung preservation has been revisited as data from large animal experiments demonstrated that organs stored at 10°C experience less mitochondrial damage. Thus, prolonged cold ischemic times can be better tolerated at 10°C—even in pre-damaged organs. The clinical applicability of these findings was demonstrated in an international multi-center observational study including three high-volume lung transplant centers. Total clinical preservation times of up to 24 hrs have been successfully achieved in organs stored at 10°C without hampering primary organ function and short-term outcomes. Currently, a randomized-controlled trial (RCT) is recruiting patients with the aim to compare standard SCS on ice with prolonged SCS protocol at 10°C. If, as anticipated, this RCT confirms data from previous studies, lung transplantation could indeed become a semi-elective procedure.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the most devastating diseases of citrus worldwide. The phloem-restricted bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is considered to be the main pathogen responsible for HLB. There is currently no effective practical strategy for the control of HLB. Our understanding of how pathogens cause HLB is limited because CLas has not been artificially cultured. In this study, 15 potential virulence factors were predicted from the proteome of CLas through DeepVF and PHI-base searches. One among them, FlgI, was found to inhibit yeast growth when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The expression of the signal peptide of FlgI fused with PhoA in Escherichia coli resulted in the discovery that FlgI was a novel Sec-dependent secretory protein. We further found that the carboxyl-terminal HA-tagged FlgI was secreted via outer membrane vesicles in Sinorhizobium meliloti. Fluoresence localization of transient expression FlgI-GFP in Nicotiana benthamiana revealed that FlgI is mainly localized in the cytoplasm, cell periphery, and nuclear periphery of tobacco cells. In addition, our experimental results suggest that FlgI has a strong ability to induce callose deposition and cell necrosis in N. benthamiana. Finally, by screening a large library of compounds in a high-throughput format, we found that cyclosporin A restored the growth of FlgI-expressing yeast. These results confirm that FlgI is a novel Sec-dependent effector, enriching our understanding of CLas pathogenicity and helping to develop new and more effective strategies to manage HLB.
Performance improvement in reservoir computing by using HfZrO2 FeFETs through operating voltage optimization

Published: January 2024

Abstract
We have investigated how the parameters of an input gate voltage (V
g) waveform and a drain voltage (V
d) impact the performance of reservoir computing (RC) using a Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 ferroelectric FET (FeFET). The RC performance is maximized by the high swing amplitude of the V
g and the most symmetrical polarization switching condition in the triangular-shaped input waveform, obtained by the center V
g of 0.5 V, because of the enhanced polarization switching of the FeFETs. Regarding the V
d dependence, the amount of the drain current and polarization switching have a trade-off relationship. As a result, a moderate V
d of 1.0 V becomes optimum in terms of the RC performance because a difference in drain current responses between different gate input patterns is maximized with this V
d. Furthermore, high computing capacities are achieved by combining the above optimal bias condition with drain current responses to both original and inverted gate input patterns.

Abstract
We proposed a novel low-temperature (<110 °C) process scheme based on the film-profile engineering technique for fabricating indium–gallium–zinc oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) with both bottom-gated (BG) and double-gated (DG) configurations. An organic photoresist (PR) suspended bridge is constructed to shadow the depositing species during the deposition processes of the bottom gate-oxide, channel, and source/drain metal films. An Al2O3 layer deposited at 110 °C using atomic-layer deposition is employed as the bottom gate-oxide layer. Such a low-temperature process allows us to deposit the Al2O3 layer following the formation of the PR suspended bridge, preventing the formation of organic residues between the gate-oxide and channel layers. As a result, excellent device performance in terms of field-effect mobility of 12.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 and subthreshold swing of 141 mV/dec is achieved. Our proposed low-temperature process scheme is readily applicable for fabricating DG TFTs which show substantial enhancements in driving currents.

The purpose of the work: identification of acoustic activity of belugas in conditions of aviary keeping and justification of the possibility of using their signals in fishing.The material of research was digital audio recordings of hydroacoustic signals of belugas collected from 2016 to 2018.Methods used: analysis of hydroacoustic data, visualization of the daily acoustic activity of belugas in different seasons, identification of stereotypes of acoustic behavior and characteristic signals in captive conditions and during fish hunting. Novelty: for the first time a substantiation for the possibility of using signals of one of the species of toothed whales — belugas registered in the captive conditions, to influence on the behavior of hydrobionts and solve practical problems of fishing and fish protection is given.Results: the highest acoustic activity of white whales is observed during the day and noticeably decreases at night with increase and decrease in the morning and evening hours. Maximum acoustic activity precedes the feeding of dolphins.The most common tones are those containing the fundamental frequency and harmonics. Characteristic features of the sounds are high variability of duration from 0.25 to 2.5 s, pronounced frequency components in the 500–2500 Hz spectrum zones, amplitude and frequency modulation, sound pressure levels of the signal up to 500 Pa /1 m.Acoustic activity of belugas during fish hunting and in the period preceding feeding in captive conditions, stereotypical. Typical are low-frequency frequency-modulated calls and whistles in the hearing range of fish, as well as a curtain of air bubbles and body and tail slaps. Possible ways of using beluga whale signals to increase the efficiency of fishing are proposed.Practical significance: the results of the study open up the possibility of using the signals of belugas to remotely control the movement of fish, create artificial concentrations and deterrent of hydrobionts in the intended areas.

Published: January 2024

Utafiti huu ulinuia kuchanganua usimilishaji wa ishara za isimu katika breili ya Kiswahili. Uchanganuzi huu ulitiwa hamasa na mambo matano muhimu. Kwanza, breili ndio njia ya pekee ya uandishi ambayo watu wasioona hutumia katika mawasiliano na usomi wao. Vilevile, kutokuwepo kwa kipengele muhimu cha matamshi katika kamusi za breili na vitabu vya sarufi hasa vya sekondari. Jambo jingine ni kwamba, wanafunzi wanaotumia breili hupewa maswali mbadala wakati wanapotahiniwa katika maeneo ya fonolojia, mofolojia, na hata katika uchanganuzi wa sentensi. Aidha, kutokuwepo kwa ishara bainifu za isimu katika maandishi ya breili ya Kiswahili. Kichocheo cha mwisho, praima mbili za breili ya Kiswahili: ya 1978 na 1995 zinazotumiwa Afrika Mashariki hazina ishara za kiisimu. Utafiti huu ulikusudia kujibu maswali yafuatayo: changamoto zipi zinazozuia usimilishaji wa ishara za kiisimu katika breili ya Kiswahili? Rasimu za Kiingereza na Kiswahili huathiriana kwa njia zipi? Ukosefu wa ishara za isimu katika breili huathiri ufundishaji wa isimu kwa njia gani? Na mwisho, mikato ya Kiswahili na ya Kiingereza inayotumia nukta zinazofanana huathiri uchapishaji wa vitabu vya isimu kwa njia zipi? Utafiti huu ulilenga kutimiza malengo yafuatayo – kwanza, kubainisha na kutatua changamoto zinazozuia usimilishaji wa ishara za isimu katika breili ya Kiswahili. Pili, Kuchanganua rasimu ya Kiingereza na ya Kiswahili. Aidha, kuchunguza athari ya ukosefu wa ishara hizi katika ufundishaji wa isimu. Mwisho, kutathmini athari ya matumizi ya mikato inayotumia nukta zinazofanana katika uchapishaji wa vitabu vya isimu. Makala haya yameshughulikia lengo la tatu na la nne. Mbinu za utafiti zifuatazo ndizo zilizotumiwa kukusanya data; uchunzaji, hojaji na mahojiano. Utafiti huu ulichanganua usimilishaji wa ishara hizi kwa kuzingatia nadharia ya usomaji na uandishi wa breili iliyoasisiwa na Kizuka na Fuji (2005). Mtafiti aligundua kuwa uchache wa nukta nundu umesababisha uradidi mwingi wa matumizi ya nukta nundu hizi. Uradidi huu umechangia kuwepo kwa utata wa kimaana katika fonolojia na sintaksia ya Kiswahili, vikwazo vya ufundishaji wa isimu miongoni mwa wanafunzi wasioona, makosa katika vitabu vya sarufi hasa kidato cha kwanza na kidato cha pili na changamoto zinazotinga usimilishaji wa ishara za kiisimu katika Breili. Utafiti huu utawafaidi wanafunzi wanaotumia breili na walimu na wahadhiri wanaofunza isimu

The problem is that the material using the "Heading" feature on the word processor application for automatic content list creation has not been submitted. Another problem based on the observations is that the students are still not used to typing with ten fingers so it takes a long time when practicing computers. The method used in the implementation of training activities is to display material continued with practicum. The "Heading" feature complements the material already presented by the teacher of the TIK subject, where the material has not been presented in front of the class. As a result of ten-finger drawing training, there was an improvement in the students' ability to type although not significantly. The training material is very relevant to the curriculum used by Madrasah Aliyah Miftahussaadah and complement the materials already learned in the learning process by the teacher of the TIK subject. The participants were very enthusiastic during the training, it is proved with the participant's activity during the receipt of the training material. For the team especially the students give a positive impact to sharpen the softskill skills of the students before plunging into the world of work and industry as well as to society.

Digital Transformation is now the center of public attention because digital aspects have entered all levels of society, one of which is school students. The use of digital transformation that is not on target will result in misuse of technology and have a negative impact on the person's personal self to others around him. Based on the results of field observations, it is still found that millennials do not pay attention to the considerable impact of digital transformation in their daily lives. Millennials experience the greatest impact, such as not understanding digital literacy but have become actors and users of digital media, resulting in misuse of functions that can even have an impact on criminal and civil acts. This activity was carried out in December 2022 - February 2023. This School Target Development service activity was carried out at SMK Swasta Kolese Tiara Bangsa by providing material on (1). Digital Literacy, (2). Human Interaction with Computers, (3). Interactive Media Design. The results of this activity include (1). Students of SMK Kolese experienced an increased understanding of the importance of digital literacy and communication ethics in social media in the context of human interaction with computers, as well as understanding the basic skills of creative media design, (2). Students of SMK Kolese Tiara Bangsa still need to get technological development literacy to face digital transformation such as how to use ergonomic gadgets so that they still pay attention to health and how to utilize technological sophistication to be able to produce interactive design works such as games, learning media and others.
