Published: February 2024

Abstract
The present study addresses a closed-loop supply chain under various carbon emission regulation policies. This article involves four key chain partners viz. a single supplier of raw materials, single manufacturer, single retailer, and single collector of the used products from the end users. Depending on the returned goods quality, the collector procures used items from customers. Unlike the existing articles, the manufacturer has two different setups for the production of both items made from newly sourced components and returned goods. A specified portion of fresh and used items goes through the same reworking cycle because the production process for both is flawed. This model has been framed under the carbon tax and the strict carbon cap regulations in order to maintain better environmental stability. A newly developed metaheurestic method namely Atomic orbital search algorithm has been implemented to determine the optimal replenishment planning and acceptance quality level, along with the corresponding numbers of deliveries among the four different chain partners and to improve the supply chain net profit. To assess how carbon regulatory policies affect the best course of action, a numerical analysis of the mathematical models is conducted, followed by a sensitivity analysis of key parameters. This study proposes that the manufacturer should consider implementing a strategy wherein they provide collectors with better rates for used products. By doing so, this is anticipated that the demand rate for these items will increase, leading to improved profitability and raw materials sustainability for the suggested model.

Abstract

The allelopathic impact of Eucalyptus spp is a pivotal factor in plant-plant interactions, particularly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The consideration of sowing depth in plant species becomes increasingly significant when examining allelopathic effects. This study aimed to assess the allelopathic effects of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaf powder in conjunction with sowing depth on the germination and growth behavior of Agropyron desertorum and Onobrychis sativa. Seeds of these species were collected from Yazd province, Iran. An experimental design was implemented employing a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications and two factors. The first factor (allelopathy) comprised five levels: 0 (control), 5%, 1%, 2%, and 3% leaf powder of E. camaldulensis in 1000 g of soil. The second factor (sowing depth) included four levels: 0.5 (control), 1.5, 3, and 4.5 cm. Data analysis utilized one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range tests. The results indicated that both allelopathy and sowing depth significantly impeded the growth of A. desertorum and O. sativa. Additionally, findings revealed that 3% leaf powder of eucalyptus exerted the most pronounced impact on the number of germinated seeds, stem length, and shoot weight in both species. Furthermore, a sowing depth of 4.5 cm was observed to be more inhibitory on the germination, shoot length, and shoot weight of A. desertorum and O. sativa compared to other depths. In conclusion, the study established that the interactions between allelopathy and sowing depth significantly constrained the growth and performance of A. desertorum and O. sativa.

Abstract
In the context of global climate change and ecological restoration projects, there have been significant changes in the Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC) in the Yellow River Basin. The growth of vegetation accelerates the consumption of water resources, further exacerbating the situation of drought and water scarcity in the Yellow River Basin, leading to increased regional water resource shortage risks. This study focuses on the Yellow River Basin in China and uses a pixel-based model to convert NDVI into an FVC datasets. It establishes a pixel-wise mathematical model for annual runoff and environmental factors based on residual analysis and methods like multiple linear regression. Climate model data from CMIP6 is used as independent variables, and in combination with the statistical model established, it provides the spatiotemporal characteristics of annual runoff in the Yellow River Basin under future climate scenarios. The results show that under four climate scenarios, the average annual runoff in the Yellow River Basin is increasing, with increases of 0.008 mm/a, 0.065 mm/a, 0.25 mm/a, and 0.24 mm/a for SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585, respectively. From 2022 to 2040, the spatial distribution of runoff change rates is similar for SSP245 and SSP370 scenarios, with an increasing trend in upstream areas like the Qinhe and Longmen regions, with rates ranging from 6.00 to 8.61 mm/a. From 2041 to 2060, in all four climate scenarios, there is little change in the depth of runoff in the northern part of the Yellow River Basin. From 2061 to 2080, under SSP126 and SSP245 scenarios, the spatial distribution of runoff shows significant increases in the river source area and a decreasing trend in the middle reaches, with rates ranging from 4.52 to 11.39 mm/a. In the period from 2081 to 2100, the runoff change rates vary significantly under the four climate scenarios.
Unveiling Depression as a Significant Cause of Insomnia through NHANES Database and Mendelian Randomization Analysis
Authors: Qi yuwei , Tai Jun , Wang Shan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background:
Despite the existence of shared pathophysiological risk factors, the connection between depression and insomnia remains enigmatic. This research aims to provide empirical evidence to clarify this association through a meticulous analysis using data obtained from the 2005–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) combined with Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques.
Methods:
Examining the connection between depression and insomnia, we utilized data from the NHANES spanning 2005 to 2008. Employing a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, our study sought to unveil potential causal relationships between depressive symptoms and insomnia. The analysis utilized the original inverse variance weighting (IVW) method along with other MR techniques to validate the established causal association. Furthermore, a multivariate MR analysis was conducted, simultaneously considering multiple variables to comprehensively explore the interplay between depression and insomnia.
Results:
Our investigation, encompassing 7,463 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), utilized weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression. The analysis unveiled a significant positive correlation between depressive symptoms and the odds ratio (OR) of insomnia, with an effect estimate of 4.157 (95% CI, 3.449–5.022). Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis further substantiated a causal link, showing an OR of 1.375 (95% CI, 1.313 ~ 1.440) for the association between depression and insomnia. Even after excluding potential confounding variables in the multivariate MR analysis, the consistent findings bolster the credibility of evidence supporting the causal relationship. Sensitivity analyses, with a non-significant p-value (P > 0.05), underscore the robustness of the observed relationship.
Conclusion
The presence of depression increases the likelihood of experiencing insomnia.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Kernel breakage and segregation are an unavoidable phenomenon during maize loading process in the silo, and the study of this phenomenon is beneficial for solving the aeration, drying and insect control in grain storage. Distribution and segregation of broken kernels, dust, and fragments (BKDF), inorganic impurities, foreign kernels and other organic impurities were studied by maize loading process in a center-loaded silo. Maize was loaded through a vertical funnel into the silo from four drop heights (0.3, 1, 2 and 3.1 m). Samples were collected using a sampling tube inserted vertically at a Y-shaped locations along three radii of the silo for each drop heights. The difference in porosity distribution in the spatial position of the maize bulk caused by kernel breakage and segregation was determined. Higher drop heights increased the content of BKDF, and the BKDF decreased nonlinearly with the increase of distance from the center of the silo. The foreign kernels concentration near the center of the silo was higher than that near the silo wall. Inorganic impurities mainly accumulated in the 1/4 ~ 3/4 radius, while other organic impurities accumulated mostly near the wall of the silo. A nonlinear model considering kernel breakage and segregation was developed to predict the porosity distribution in the vertical and radial direction in the silo. Kernel breakage and segregation minimize the porosity at the center of the silo. The porosity of the silo center was 0.421 ~ 0.438, and it increased with the distance from the center of the silo increased.

Abstract
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is characterized by upper lobe-dominant fibrosis involving the pleura and subpleural lung parenchyma. Upper-lobe lung volume (UL-volume) loss is a hallmark of iPPFE. The UL volume included dense consolidation, bronchiectasis and pleural thickening, in addition to the normal parenchyma. Therefore, we hypothesized that assessing the normal parenchymal UL volume would accurately indicate disease severity and mortality risk in patients with iPPFE. This retrospective study included two cohorts of 144 patients with iPPFE. Each lobe volume was quantitatively measured using three-dimensional computed tomography, and the normal UL volume was assessed from − 950 Hounsfield units (HU) to − 750 HU. Patients with a lower normal UL volume had significantly shorter median survival than those with higher volume (6.63 years vs. 2.88 years, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the normal lung volume decreased longitudinally, with decreases occurring predominantly in the upper lobes. In multivariate analysis, a lower normal UL volume was significantly associated with increased mortality after adjusting for age, sex and FVC. A composite scoring model including age, sex and the normal UL volume more accurately predicted the risk of death. These results suggested measuring normal UL volume provides useful information for iPPFE management by predicting mortality risk.

Abstract

Introduction: The characteristics of narcolepsy onset in children differs significantly from those of adults, and easily misdiagnosed for their multidimensional symptoms and concomitant diseases.
Case Report and Results: A 6-year-old girl with multidimensional symptoms: typical symptoms of mood disorder, atypical symptoms of narcolepsy combined with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavioral disorder (RBD) and periodic limb movement (PLM), was diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 and complex sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) caused by adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy at baseline and central sleep apnea (CSA) after surgery of adenoid and tonsillar. After adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy, OSA remitted, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), RBD symptoms, mental symptoms and sleep structure were improved, but more PLMs and CSA presented and SORE multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) increased in this patient. During 2 years follow up, only behavioral managements were performed. The child had good social function, significant improvement in subjective EDS, occasional nocturnal sleep behavior abnormalities rated by scales two years later.
Conclusion: It was important to monitor in time with multidimensional symptoms and follow up for a longer time during multidisciplinary treatments in children with narcolepsy. Exploration of regular personalized behavioral interventions might be benefit for them.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Genetic risk modeling for dementia offers significant benefits, but studies based on real-world data, particularly for underrepresented populations, are limited.
METHODS: We employed an Elastic Net model for dementia risk prediction using single-nucleotide polymorphisms prioritized by functional genomic data from multiple neurodegenerative disease genome-wide association studies. We compared this model with APOE and polygenic risk score models across genetic ancestry groups, using electronic health records from UCLA Health for discovery and All of Us cohort for validation.
RESULTS: Our model significantly outperforms other models across multiple ancestries, improving the area-under-precision-recall curve by 21-61% and the area-under-the-receiver-operating characteristic by 10-21% compared to the APOEand the polygenic risk score models. We identified shared and ancestry-specific risk genes and biological pathways, reinforcing and adding to existing knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights benefits of integrating functional mapping, multiple neurodegenerative diseases, and machine learning for genetic risk models in diverse populations. Our findings hold potential for refining precision medicine strategies in dementia diagnosis.

Authors: Zeng Li , Wu Yongjia , Zhou Mengqi , Bai Xiaofeng , Hu Lingling , Chen Xuepeng 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative changes of the condyle in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and mandibular lateral displacement (MLD), and to study the relationship between asymmetric mandibular setback and condylar rotation.
Materials and methods
A total of thirty patients diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion and MLD underwent orthodontic and orthognathic treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained in 3 different time points. Condylar measurements were performed using 3D Slicer software. The correlation between asymmetric mandibular setback and condylar rotation was analyzed.
Results
Asymmetry of condylar morphology and position were observed. Condyles on both sides displaced laterally, posteriorly, and inferiorly, rotating inward YAW, rotating outward ROLL for the deviation side (DS) condyle and inward ROLL for the deviation opposite side (DOS) condyle during T1-T2. Condyles on both sides displaced mesially, anteriorly, and superiorly, rotating outward YAW and inward ROLL during T2-T3. The direction of the condylar rotation during T1-T3 was consistent with T1-T2. Asymmetric mandibular setback was correlated with inward YAW and inward ROLL of the DOS condyle, as well as outward ROLL of the DS condyle.
Conclusions
This study demonstrated that postoperative displacement and rotation of the condyles were observed in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and MLD. Additionally, there was a correlation between asymmetric mandibular setback and condylar rotation.
Clinical relevance
When developing a surgical plan to correct MLD through asymmetric mandibular setback, the adverse displacement and rotation of the condyle should be considered to avoid postoperative complications.

Abstract

When a lava flow enters a body of water, either a lake, sea, river or ocean, explosive interaction may arise. However, when it is an 'a'ā lava flow entering water, a more complex interaction occurs, that is very poorly described and documented in literature. In this paper we analysed the 2–4 ka San Bartolo lava flow field emplaced on the north flank of Stromboli volcano, Italy. The lava flow field extends from ~ 650 m elevation, where the eruptive fissure emplaced following the main structural trend of the island, to the NE coast through two prominent lava channels at middle elevation. Along the coast the lava flow field expands to form a lava delta ~ 1 km wide characterized by 16 lava ‘Flow’ units. We performed a field survey to characterize the features of lava entering the sea and the associated formation of different components, and magnetic measurements to infer the flow fabrics and emplacement process of the lava flow system. We measured the density, porosity and connectivity of several specimens to analyse the effect of lava-water interaction on the content in vesicles and their connectivity, and conducted a macroscopic componentry analysis (clast count) at selected sites to infer the character of the eroded offshore segment of the lava flow field and its component flow units. The collected data allowed us to define the main components of a lava delta fed by 'a'ā lava flows, with its channels, littoral units, ramps, lava tubes, and inflated pāhoehoe flows controlled by the arterial 'a'ā flow fronts. The spatial organization of these components allowed us to build a 3-steps model for 'a'ā entering a water. The initial stage corresponds to the entry of channel-fed 'a'ā lava flow into the sea which fragments to form metric blocks of 'a'ā lava. Continued lava supply to the foreshore causes flow units to stall while spreading over this substrate. Subsequent 'a'ā lava flow units ramp up behind the stalled flow front barrier. Lava tubes extending through the stalled flow barrier feed the seaward extension of a bench made of several pāhoehoe flow units.
A study on the driving path of farmers' participation in physical activity and its impact on happiness
Authors: Wang Haixia , Ma Shuqing , Li Qiuying 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Based on the theoretical framework of socioecology, this study systematically examines the antecedent grouping patterns of farmers' participation in physical activity and their effects on well-being in 19 provinces of China using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and benchmark regression methods. The results of the study indicate that the motivation to promote the participation of farmers in physical activity is not driven by a single factor but instead relies on the synergistic effect of multiple factors. There are seven different groupings that drive farmers to participate in physical activity, which can be categorized into three types of driving pathways: individual-led dominant, ecological interdependence, and multiple synergistic linkages. Under these three types of driving paths, the well-being of farmers significantly improves, with the multiple synergistic linkage path having a better effect than the ecological interdependence type and the individual-led path.
Cerebellar theta burst stimulation impairs working memory
Authors: Raies Nasem , Nankoo Jean-Francois , Madan Christopher R , Chen Robert 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Working memory refers to the process of temporarily storing and manipulating information. The role of the cerebellum in working memory is thought to be achieved through its connections with the prefrontal cortex. Previous studies showed that theta burst stimulation (TBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, of the cerebellum changes its functional connectivity with the prefrontal cortex. Specifically, excitatory intermittent TBS (iTBS) increases, whereas inhibitory continuous TBS (cTBS) decreases this functional connectivity. We hypothesized that iTBS on the cerebellum will improve working memory, whereas cTBS will disrupt it.
Methods
Sixteen healthy participants (10 women) participated in this study. Bilateral cerebellar stimulation was applied with a figure-of-eight coil at 3 cm lateral and 1 cm below the inion. The participants received iTBS, cTBS, and sham iTBS in three separate sessions in random order. Within 30 minutes after TBS, the participants performed four working memory tasks: letter 1-Back and 2-Back, digit span forward, and digit span backward.
Results
Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of the type of stimulation (iTBS/cTBS/Sham) on performance in the digit span backward task (p = 0.02). The planned comparison showed that the cTBS condition had significantly lower scores than the sham condition (p = 0.01). iTBS and cTBS did not affect performance in the 1- and 2-Back and the digit span forward tasks compared to sham stimulation.
Conclusion
The findings support the hypothesis that the cerebellum is involved in working memory, and this contribution may be disrupted by cTBS.

Abstract

Jujubae Fructus, the fruit of Ziziphus jujuba Mill has been used as one of the medicine food homology species for thousands of years in China. Studies have shown that the active ingredients of Jujubae Fructus have a variety of biological effects, but its role in the aging process still lacks knowledge. Here, we investigated the effect of Jujubae Fructus extract (JE) on C. elegans lifespan and its potential mechanism. The lifespan of C. elegans treated with JE was signifificantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, JE treatment prolonged the reproductive period and increased normal activity during aging in C. elegans. Similarly, JE supplementation also enhanced the resistance to heat and oxidative stress in C. elegans. Furthermore, the mutant worms' lifespan assays demonstrated that JE requires daf-16 to prolong lifespan. DAF-16::GFP analysis of TJ356 showed that JE treatment translocates DAF-16::GFP to nucleus in transgenic worms. By analyzing the downstream of daf-16, we identify that JE may regulate sod3 downstream of daf-16. mutant worms' lifespan and transgenic reporter gene expression assays revealed that increasing SOD-3 expression was critical for extending longevity in C. elegans with JE therapy. Collectively, these data indicate that JE may have an important role in C. elegans longevity that is dependent on DAF-16 and SOD-3.
