Building a master sampling frame by linking the population and housing census with the agricultural census
Authors: Keita Naman , Gennari Pietro 
Published: January 2025

The objective of the Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics is to enable developing countries to build a sound and comprehensive agricultural statistical system, that is sustainable, well integrated in the overall national statistical system and that is capable of responding to the information needs of the 21 ^{st} century. One of the three pillars of the Global Strategy is the integration of agriculture into the national statistical system which is obtained through three methodological tools: (i) an integrated survey framework, that defines the mix and frequency of data collection initiatives needed to meet the predefined data requirements; (ii) an integrated statistical data base, that provides data management system for different data sources (censuses, surveys, administrative data), using common definitions and classifications and ensuring that only one number is agreed as official statistics; (iii) a master sampling frame, that is the basis for selecting the sample of all agriculture-related surveys across the national statistical system, thus allowing coordinated data collections. Little guidance is currently available on buiding a Master Sample Frame for agricultural surveys in different country contexts. The FAO and UNFPA Guidelines for Linking Population and Housing Censuses with Agricultura Censuses aim to fill this gap. This paper draws on the Guidelines and country reports to examine how the agricultural data collected through the Population Census can contribute to building a Master Sample Frame for agriculture censuses and surveys, with illustrations from the recent experience of Mozambique.
Towards an international framework for statistical councils of national statistical systems
Authors: Alldritt Richard 
Published: January 2025

The number, variety and importance of statistical council bodies at national level has continued to grow over the years since this trend was recognised in the UN Handbook of Statistical Organization ^1 in 2003. This article brings together some ideas and arguments about the role and future of such bodies, as presented at a Special Topic Session on this theme at the World Statistics Congress in Hong Kong in August 2013. The article summarises the main points from three papers presented at the session, each of which approaches the topic from a different perspective, and offers some further observations and conclusions. As well as the three contributing authors identified in the article, particular thanks are due to Margarita Guerrero, Director of the Statistical Institute for Asia and the Pacific who acted as discussant for the session. Whilst the discussion at the WSC session tended to reject the concept of an internationally agreed set of standards that a statistical council body should demonstrate in order to achieve international recognition as a national statistical council, there was nonetheless wide support for an open dialogue between such bodies to share information about their roles and experience.
Release of European Union microdata, ESS projects on remote access
Authors: Bujnowska Aleksandra , Museux Jean-Marc 
Published: January 2025

This paper outlines microdata access methods at the European level, and specifically to data governed by European Union (EU) Regulation 831/2002 or where explicit approval of the EU Members is given on the access to particular datasets via Eurostat safe centre. Access to EU microdata for research purposes was enabled in 2002 when the Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 came into force. Since then more than 100 contracts have been signed each year with research organisations for the provision of microdata for scientific purposes. The current Regulation foresees two ways of access to microdata: access to anonymised microdata files, and access to confidential data in the safe centre in Eurostat premises in Luxembourg. The first part of the paper outlines the legal framework at the EU level. The second part discusses the different modes and conditions of access as well as practical issues related to access to microdata in general. The final part provides an overview of the projects currently carried out in the domain of remote access at the European level. The situation with regards to the access to EU microdata will evolve in the near future with the new regulatory framework and subsequent changes in the governance structure for statistical confidentiality in the European Statistical System.
Supporting research and protecting confidentiality. ABS microdata access: Current strategies and future directions
Authors: Tam Siu-Ming , Farley-Larmour Kim , Gare Melissa 
Published: January 2025

Access to microdata for social and economic research and analysis is a key part of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) mission to encourage informed decision making, research and discussion. Since 1985, the ABS has been making microdata available for statistical purposes in the form of Confidentialised Unit Record Files (CURFs). Microdata use is governed by the requirement to protect respondent confidentiality, as enshrined in the Australian Census and Statistics Act 1905. Confidentialisation of the data prior to its release is the foremost ABS strategy to protect respondent confidentiality. To date, ABS policy provides that the most highly confidentialised Basic CURFs are available through the least controlled CD-ROM mode; the more detailed Expanded CURFs are accessible through the more controlled Remote Access Data Laboratory (RADL); and the most detailed Specialist CURFs are available only through the ABS Data Laboratory (ABSDL) in ABS Offices. In 2009 ABS commenced a long term project that will meet user demand for access to more detailed unit record data, across a wider array of datasets and through means that are more flexible than the current services. Development of a Survey Table Builder is underway, to be followed by a new microdata analysis service.

Published: January 2025

Context and objective: In France, national estimates of the incidence of cancers are based on mortality data by extrapolating the ratio between observed incidence and mortality in areas covered by cancer registries. The objective of this study is to determine the interest of using the discharge abstracts database gathered in hospitals to estimate breast cancer incidence in two French departments: Côte d'Or and Doubs. Methods: This study concerns the incident breast cancer cases identified in 2004 and 2005 through Côte d'Or and Doubs cancer registries and potential incident breast cancer cases selected through two algorithms in the Medical Information System Program(PMSI – Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information) databases. The value of these algorithms was evaluated by probabilistic linkage between data from the anonymous registry and from the PMSI. Results: The first algorithm provides an estimated incidence close to those given by registries, and has a good sensitivity and positive predictive value; the second algorithm overestimates the incidence by about 100%, and has a poor positive predictive value. Conclusion: This study shows the usefulness of the PMSI databases and underlines the interest and difficulties of using these data to estimate cancer incidence. The PMSI database cannot be used as a unique source to estimate breast cancer incidence.
Which Gene Combination to Test in Wet Lab? A Pedagogical Walkthrough of R Code Mechanics of ML-Based Search Engine for Biologists/Oncologists
Authors: Sinha Shriprakash 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: In biology/oncology, one is faced with the problem of exploring relevant unknown biological hypotheses in the form of a myriad of combinations of factors that might be affecting the pathway under certain conditions. If discovered, these are potential breakthroughs that could help understand the mechanism of cell biology, leading to scientific discoveries and therapeutic interventions. Currently, a major persisting problem is to cherry-pick the combinations based on expert advice, literature survey, or guesses for investigation. This entails investment in time, energy, and expenses at various levels of research.

RESULTS: To address these issues, a search engine design was recently published, which showed promise by revealing existing confirmatory published wet lab results. Additionally, and of import, an adaptation of the published engine mined up a range of unexplored/untested/unknown combinations of genetic factors in the cell signaling pathways that were affected by ETC-1922159 enantiomer, a PORCN-WNT inhibitor, after the colorectal cancer cells were treated with the drug.

CONCLUSIONS: Here, a pedagogical walkthrough of the R code of the machine learning-based search engine is elucidated. This will help biologists/oncologists to locate gene combinations ranked/revealed by using the advanced machine learning-based search engine, instead of wandering in a vast combinatorial forest and later testing the combinations of choice in a wet lab. The article ends with an example of a ranking of a \(3^{rd}\) order combination that has recently been established in another wet lab experiment.
Technique of Biochar Production

Published: January 2025

The abundance of biomass in Indonesia can be a big threat if not managed properly with the principle of carbon retention. The loss of large amounts of carbon into the air in the form of C02 has become a concern for the increase in global temperatures. Biochar is one of the solutions to maintain carbon on earth for a long period of time. Biochar is an amendment that today has been around the world for more than 10 years, and has been the subject of many studies, the quality of biochar is highly determined by the techniques used. The manufacture of biochar is the same as the manufacture of charcoal but there is a slight difference other than in its utilization, because the manufacture of charcoal uses 1 technique of making biochar. The Pyrolysis method is a method of making biochar, and the technique is 2 ways, namely by using Kiln and Retort. The Klin technique is a heating technique with a heat source coming from the material itself, namely combustion with limited oxygen, while the heating retort with a heat source is not from biomass but from other sources.

Published: January 2025

ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of 3 months adverse outcomes among young adults with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).MethodsPatients aged between 18 and 50 with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) at the Shenyang First’s People Hospital, between January 1st 2017 to May 30th 2023 were included in this retrospective study. The primary outcome was a three-month unfavorable outcome, evaluated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS &gt; 2). Univariate logistic regression was used to select the independent factors of prognosis and multivariate logistic regression to establish a new nomogram model. We used the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) to evaluate the discriminative performance and used the calibration curve with Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test to assess the calibration performance of the risk prediction model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to assess the clinical utility of the nomogram.ResultsA total of 1,015 patients were enrolled. Gender (male vs. female; Odds ratio[OR], 0.5562[95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.3104–1.0478]; p = 0.053), family history of stroke (OR, 3.5698[95%CI 1.5632–8.0329], p &lt; 0.001), prior stroke (OR, 2.1509[95%CI 1.2610–3.6577], p &lt; 0.001), previous heart disease (OR, 3.4047[95%CI, 1.7838–6.6976], p &lt; 0.01) toast type (cardio-embolism stroke vs. large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA), OR, 0.0847[0.0043–0.5284], p &lt; 0.01), toast type (stroke of undetermined etiology vs. LAA, OR, 0.0847[0.0439–0.5284], p &lt; 0.01), mRS at admission (OR, 15.2446 [9.1447–26.3156], p &lt; 0.0001), adherence to medication (OR, 2.1197[95%CI, 1.1924–3.7464], p &lt; 0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP; OR, 1.0145[1.0041–1.0250], p &lt; 0.001), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; OR, 1.0060[1.0010–1.0111], p &lt; 0.01) were related to 3 months adverse outcomes among young adults with AIS. The nomogram displayed excellent calibration and discrimination. DCA confirmed the clinical applicability of the model.ConclusionThe nomogram comprised of gender, family history of stroke, prior stroke, previous heart disease, toast type, mRS score at admission, adherence to medication, SBP and LDH may predict 3 months adverse outcomes among young adults with AIS.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundWater, coffee and tea are the primary sources of daily hydration. However, the sex-specific relationship between these beverages and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among remains unclear.MethodsIn total, 210,239 men and 251,383 women from the UK Biobank were included. The consumption of water, coffee and tea were self-reported. CVDs, including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and heart failure (HF) were followed till March 1st, 2023. Sex-specific Cox models were utilized to evaluate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 8.7 years, 11,098 (2.40%) participants developed new-onset HF, 33,426 (7.24%) participants developed new-onset CHD, and 9,706 (2.10%) participants developed new-onset stroke. After adjustments, higher water consumption was generally associated with reduced risk of CVDs among both men and women. In contrast, heavy coffee consumption (particularly ≥6 cups/day) was associated with a greater risk of HF [1.16 (1.03–1.31) in men vs. 1.25 (1.12–1.40) in women], a greater risk of CHD [1.27 (1.18–1.36) in men vs. 1.21 (1.14–1.29) in women] and a greater risk of stroke [1.13 (0.99–1.29) in men vs. 1.20 (1.03–1.31) in women]. Similarly, heavy tea consumption was associated with an increased risk of HF (men: HR 1.19 [1.08–1.31]; women: HR 1.12 [1.02–1.23]) and CHD (men: HR 1.12 [1.05–1.18]; women: HR 1.18 [1.12–1.24]).ConclusionOur study revealed that water consumption was associated with a lower risk of CVDs, with a lower risk of CVDs, while heavy coffee or tea consumption was linked to a higher risk. Notably, coffee and tea consumption partially attenuated the protective association of water intake with CVDs. Furthermore, significant sex differences were observed in the associations between coffee or tea consumption and CHD incidence.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundNecrotizing pneumonia is a serious complication of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, especially in pediatric patients. Although necrotizing pneumonia is a rare condition, the occurrence of unilateral necrosis in two entire lobe tissues is even rarer. This case study presents a 5-year-old male child with necrotizing pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, describing the clinical features, laboratory abnormalities, and radiographic findings associated with this condition, particularly the rare occurrence of unilateral necrosis in two entire lobe tissues.Case presentationThe patient presented with a 14-day history of fever and cough, accompanied by paroxysmal cough with continuous sounds, congested throat, increased respiratory effort, and abnormal lung findings on physical examination. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated white blood cell count, increased inflammatory markers, elevated liver enzymes, coagulation dysfunction, and hypoalbuminemia. Imaging studies showed the presence of pleural effusion and progressive necrotizing pneumonia, including the rare occurrence of unilateral necrosis affecting both entire lobe tissues.ConclusionNecrotizing pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection can present with prolonged fever, elevated inflammatory markers, pleural effusion, and progressive necrosis of lung tissue, with the occurrence of necrosis observed unilaterally in both entire lobe tissues is even rarer. Monitoring D-dimer levels is essential for evaluating the possibility of necrotizing pneumonia. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial to improve outcomes in these patients.

Authors: Fowler Davis Sally , Davies Megan 
Published: January 2025

ObjectivesTo describe objective social wellbeing in relation to social cohesion.MethodsA literature search that sought to understand the contribution of social cohesion in the community as a means of achieving social wellbeing in the UK, published in the last 10 years.ResultsSocial cohesion is widely associated with community assets, trust, and a sense of belonging at neighbourhood level. Segregation of sub-groups and “incivilities” can lead to reduced social connectedness and wellbeing. Wider multicultural engagement over time, may be beneficial for social cohesion. Evidence suggests that sufficient facilitation through facilities and services improve social relations and wellbeing and create more cohesive communities. A particular focus is needed on potential minorities within otherwise cohesive communities.ConclusionSocial cohesion relates to community resilience and the experience of social connectedness at community level. These features can protect vulnerable groups from exclusion and may have other benefits to health and wellbeing.

Introdução: O procedimento de extubação traqueal, envolvendo a remoção do tubo endotraqueal (TET), é conhecido por causar dor e desconforto ao paciente. Essa retirada está associada a taxas de complicações três vezes maiores do que a intubação. Eventos adversos como tosse pós-operatória, dor de garganta, rouquidão e laringoespasmo são comuns após a intubação traqueal, podendo levar a complicações graves. Desse modo, diversas técnicas têm sido propostas para atenuar esses eventos, incluindo o uso de medicamentos intravenosos, anestésicos locais e bloqueios de nervos. A lidocaína, um anestésico local, tem sido amplamente estudada nesse contexto, demonstrando eficácia na redução da tosse e da dor de garganta. No entanto, sua administração e dosagem adequadas ainda são objeto de debate. Objetivos: Caracterizar o desfecho da anestesia periglótica em paciente oncológicos, enquanto os objetivos específicos incluem comparar sinais e sintomas pré e pós a anestesia, identificar seus efeitos nos sinais vitais e exames laboratoriais, e avaliar o índice de laringoespasmos após extubação. Metodologia: Propõe-se um estudo observacional, descritivo, prospectivo e quantitativo na Fundação Centro de Controle de Oncologia do Estado do Amazonas (FCECON) em Manaus-Amazonas. Serão incluídos na pesquisa indivíduos maiores de 18 anos submetidos à intubação orotraqueal, enquanto indígenas e menores de 18 anos serão excluídos. O instrumento de coleta será um questionário abordando dados sociodemográficos e clínicos dos participantes. Este estudo visa contribuir para uma compreensão mais aprofundada do uso da anestesia periglótica associada a anestesia geral em pacientes oncológicos, com potenciais implicações para o manejo perioperatório e a melhoria dos desfechos clínicos.

High-speed atomic force microscopy of ion channels
Authors: Sumino Ayumi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Ion channels regulate membrane potential by mediating the permeation of specific ion species via their transmembrane pore with gating. Understanding the structural dynamics of ion channels is important for elucidating their functional mechanisms. This review highlights the application of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) in investigating structural dynamics of ion channels and ligands. The use of oriented reconstitution techniques allowed for high-resolution, real-time visualization of ion channel dynamics such as pH-dependent clustering in KcsA potassium channels, induced-fit binding of agitoxin-2 (AgTx2), ligand-induced fluctuations in transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and voltage sensor dissociation in voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav). These studies provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms that govern ion channel function and contribute to a deeper understanding of their physiological roles. Additionally, the findings underscore the potential of HS-AFM in exploring ion channel behavior under various conditions.
