This paper, with an accurate review of the probable archaeological context of the find, aims to provide new perspectives for the study of imperial properties and estates in the Julio-Claudian age in this portion of the regio VII and, more generally, of the history of the territory before 714 AD, the date in which the site (loc. Romitorio - San Quirico d’Orcia) is first documented.
A polarisation rather than just an increase or a decrease - Exploring different approaches to measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol consumption after one year
Authors: Labhart Florian , Gmel Gerhard 
Published: December 2023

Background
Many studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reported that significant proportions of drinkers have either increased or decreased their consumption. These diverging trends may indicate a polarisation of drinking behaviours, suggesting that the same source of stress caused some people to drink more and others to drink less, among the same segment of the population. This study aims to explore the existence of such a polarisation by using standard statistical methods to assess data on drinking behaviour from March 2021, one year after the onset of the pandemic.
Methods
A representative sample of 2’000 people in Switzerland were asked to retrospectively report their drinking behaviours during the year before the introduction of the measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2019–March 2020) and during the first year of the pandemic (April 2020–March 2021), as well as multiple aspects of their living conditions.
Results
A polarisation of drinking behaviours was observed among many segments of the populations, particularly among young adults (15-24 years old), those with increased fear of COVID-19 for oneself or for their financial situation, and those who experienced a precarious work situation. Chi-square test and regressions models, using the absolute value of the change in drinking habits, are suitable for measuring polarisation effects.
Conclusions
The polarisation of drinking behaviours occurred in some segments of the population, regardless of their pre-pandemic drinking habits. However, polarisation can only be properly measured when non-linear trends are investigated.

When a consumer comes to the gas station to buy fuel, the attendants are their initial point of contact. Petrol station employees deal with a variety of risks and health issues on the job. This study was carried out to ascertain the health risks, occupational safety practices, and health issues among gas station workers in Ibadan, Oyo State. Africa.
This intervention study was conducted with all willing attendants that operate at Ibadan's filling stations. A semi-structured interviewer-administered English-language questionnaire was used to gather data. STATA 12.1 software was used for data analysis after structured interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to gather data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. A 5% threshold for significance was used.
The study involved 620 respondents in total for both genders, the mean age of the responders was 29.4 ± 4.6 years. The inhalation of petrol fumes, customer confrontation, and noise exposure were among the hazards that were reported. Dust-related chronic cough; heat stress that frequently leads to heat exhaustion and heat stroke; hearing loss; hypertension from excessive equipment noise; back and general body ache from bending over repeatedly at work; robbery; fire; harsh weather; and exhaust fume incidence. Health problems reported included headache, blurry vision, vomiting, drowsiness, vertigo, heartburn, slurred speech, weakness, staggering, facial flushing, itching, loss of consciousness, heart failure, convulsion, irritability, memory loss, nausea, tremor, involuntary eye movement, cough, muscle spasms, hallucination, altered vision, insomnia, poor appetite and stomach upset factor associated with health problem. The results, which have a p-value of 0.29, demonstrate that there is no meaningful correlation between occupational safety practices and health issues. Occupation-related health hazards, work environment, and health problems are significantly correlated, with p-values of less than 0.01. Additionally, there is no significant correlation (p-value of 0.12), between understanding of safety procedures and health issues.
In conclusion, the study found that attendants at fiilling stations were subjected to a variety of risks and health issues. Poor hand washing techniques, first aid box availability, PPE awareness and use, and medical assessment procedures were all present. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association and other relevant parties should endeavor to guarantee that filling station owners assume accountability for the well-being and security of their employees.
Buruli Ulcer: A Neglected Tropical Disease

Published: December 2023

Buruli ulcer is a neglected trophical disease. It is characterized by the development of painless open wounds. It causes large skin ulcers mainly in children aged 5 to 15 years. Buruli ulcer is a skin infection caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium ulcerans. The disease is concentrated in West Africa and coastal Australia, with occasional cases in Japan, Papua, New Guinea and the Americas. In West Africa, the disease is predominantly reported from remote, rural communities, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria. In endemic areas, the disease occurs near stagnant bodies of water. This is in agreement with the long-standing hypothesis that M. ulcerans is somehow transmitted to humans from aquatic environments. The first sign of Buruli ulcer is a painless swollen bump on the arm or leg, often similar in appearance to an insect bite. Over the course of a few weeks, the original swollen area expands to form an irregularly shaped patch of raised skin. Buruli ulcer can be diagnosed using microscopy, culture, and polymerase chain reaction. For microscopy, fluid is typically taken from the ulcer's edge by fine-needle aspiration or by swabbing the edge of the ulcer. The fluid is then stained with the Ziehl–Neelsen stain which makes Mycobacterium visible. Buruli ulcer is treated with a combination of antibiotics such as streptomycin, azithromycin to kill the bacteria, wound care and surgery to support the healing of the ulcer. Buruli ulcer can be prevented by avoiding contact with aquatic environments in endemic areas. The risk of acquiring it can be reduced by wearing long sleeves and gardening gloves, and using suitable repellents to avoid the contamination of this disease. Buruli ulcer is a public health challenge especially in rural areas of developing countries that should be given more attention by the government and policy makers.

India, supporting 17% of the global population, from limited land (2.4% of the world's total) and freshwater resources (4%), faces severe water scarcity issues. The country experiences heightened challenges due to a monsoon climate leading to floods and droughts. Irrigation efficiency in India is 35-40% and irrigated area ~48.9%. To meet the demands of a large or growing population in limited land and water resources, climate-smart irrigation practices (CSIPs) are imperative. These practices not only increase yield but also precisely supply water, reduce water application volume, and enhance soil health under changing climate conditions. Precision water management technologies includes; advanced agro-techniques, micro-irrigation, conservation agriculture, crop diversification, integrated farming systems, and water harvesting. Micro-irrigation, encompassing drip and sprinkler systems, emerges as a critical solution for efficient water use. Techniques like Surface Drip Irrigation and Sub-surface Drip Irrigation (SSDI) not only save water but also enhance nutrient transport and reduce labor costs. The automation of micro-irrigation through sensors and wireless communication revolutionizes traditional practices, ensuring precise water management and boosting agricultural productivity. In addition, advanced agro-techniques, including laser land leveling, furrow-irrigated raised beds, aerobic rice cultivation, system of rice intensification, ground cover cum rice production system and Saguna rice technique have good potential to save water and improve water productivity. Implementing these advanced agro-techniques not only conserves water but also contributes to sustainable agriculture by improving overall water productivity, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing crop productivity. The integration of conservation agriculture (minimum soil disturbance, crop residue cover and crop diversification), integrated farming systems (combine diverse agricultural activities synergistically), and water harvesting is imperative for sustainable water management. This review paper systematically compiles climate-smart irrigation practices, including precision water management, combined with conservation agriculture, crop diversification, integrated farming systems, and water harvesting. This review paper offers researchers a comprehensive understanding of different CSIPs, assessing their impact on water conservation, increased crop and water productivity, and sustainability amid climate change. Farmers can gain practical understandings of CSIPs, while policymakers obtain essential information for addressing national water mission goals.

AbstractElectroreduction of nitric oxide (NO) to NH3 (NORR) has gained extensive attention for the sake of low carbon emission and air pollutant treatment. Unfortunately, NORR is greatly hindered by its sluggish kinetics, especially under low concentrations of NO. Herein, we developed a chlorine (Cl) vacancy strategy to overcome this limitation over FeOCl nanosheets (FeOCl‐VCl). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cl vacancy resulted in defective Fe with sharp d‐states characteristics in FeOCl‐VCl to enhance the absorption and activation of NO. In situ X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) and attenuated total reflection‐infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR) verified the lower average oxidation state of defective Fe to enhance the electron transfer for NO adsorption/activation and facilitate the generation of key NHO and NHx intermediates. As a result, the FeOCl‐VCl exhibited superior NORR activities with the NH3 Faradaic efficiency up to 91.1 % while maintaining a high NH3 yield rate of 455.4 μg cm−2 h−1 under 1.0 vol % NO concentration, competitive with those of previously reported literatures under higher NO concentration. Further, the assembled Zn‐NO battery utilizing FeOCl‐VCl as cathode delivered a record peak power density of 6.2 mW cm−2, offering a new route for simultaneous NO removal, NH3 production, and energy supply.
Mechanical property—processing relations for SiC foams synthesized via polymer particle templating of polycarbosilane
Authors: Kassner Christopher T. , Wadley Haydn N. G. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractSilicon carbide foams with an average pore diameter of 650 nm and an inter‐pore ligament thickness of 150 nm have been synthesized using spherical polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particle templating of a β‐SiC nanoparticle‐loaded polycarbosilane (PCS) preceramic polymer and the effect of crystallization temperature upon their microstructure and mechanical properties investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were used to investigate both the kinetics of PMMA decomposition and the influence of β‐SiC nanoparticles upon the mechanisms of PCS cure, pyrolysis, and partial crystallization. As the crystallization temperature was systematically increased, the inter‐pore ligament structure coarsened and nanopores developed within the ligaments between the β‐SiC nanoparticles. The foam's Young's modulus and compressive strength at first increased with crystallization temperature, reaching a maximum after processing at 1300˚C. However, further increases in temperature resulted in a rapid fall in both foam modulus and compressive strength. To gain insight into the fundamental processes responsible for the overall (macroscale) mechanical properties, models for open/closed cell foams were inverted and used in conjunction with the measured foam density, Young's modulus, and compressive strength to estimate the mechanical properties of the inter‐pore ligaments. This procedure indicated that changes to the ligament properties were responsible for the observed dependence of the foam mechanical properties upon crystallization temperature.

AbstractThe H2O@HKUST‐1 and DMF@HKUST‐1 systems were experimental and computationally assessed, employing XRD/TGA/FT‐IR/DFT‐calculations, evidencing that H2O or DMF coordinated to Cu, modulating HKUST‐1 photocatalytic properties. DMF@HKUST‐1 has narrower bandgap promoting higher‐crystallinity and light‐harvesting. H2O@HKUST‐1 showed smaller particle sizing and sharp morphology. Theoretical models, (H2O)1@HKUST‐1 and (DMF)1@HKUST‐1, containing one coordinated molecule, elucidated bandgap modulation associated with infiltration. H2O@HKUST‐1/DMF@HKUST‐1 presented bandgaps [eV] of 3.6/3.4, by Tauc plots, and 3.55/3.26, by theoretical calculations, narrowing bandgap, compared with non‐solvated HKUST‐1(HKUST‐1NS). Both composites raised the valence band (VB) and lowered the conduction band (CB), but DMF@HKUST‐1 most raised VB. Topological analysis revealed that guests i) with higher electronic density, raised VB, and ii) induced π‐backbonding, lowering CB. DMF@HKUST‐1 presented a higher photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (μmol), 26.45, in the first 30 min of the reaction, nevertheless, H2O@HKUST‐1 presented a competitive activity, of 17.32. In large periods, H2O@HKUST‐1/DMF@HKUST‐1 showed practically the same hydrogen evolution, 45.50/49.03.

AbstractThe differential of leukocytes functions as the first indicator in clinical examinations. However, microscopic examinations suffered from key limitations of low throughputs in classifying leukocytes while commercially available hematology analyzers failed to provide quantitative accuracies in leukocyte differentials. A home‐developed imaging and impedance flow cytometry of microfluidics was used to capture fluorescent images and impedance variations of single cells traveling through constrictional microchannels. Convolutional and recurrent neural networks were adopted for data processing and feature extractions, which were then fused by a support vector machine to realize the four‐part differential of leukocytes. The classification accuracies of the four‐part leukocyte differential were quantified as 95.4% based on fluorescent images plus the convolutional neural network, 90.3% based on impedance variations plus the recurrent neural network, and 99.3% on the basis of fluorescent images, impedance variations, and deep neural networks. Based on single‐cell fluorescent imaging and impedance variations coupled with deep neural networks, the four‐part leukocyte differential can be realized with almost 100% accuracy.
