Authors: Kreter Ana Cecília , Del-Vecchio Renata , Staduto Jefferson Andronio Ramundo 
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo mensurar os níveis de pobreza nas áreas rurais do Nordeste, a partir das variáveis de condições de moradia e serviços básicos, doravante condições habitacionais. Essa abordagem foi motivada pela constatação das dificuldades de acesso a esses bens e serviços por parte da população rural, e pela existência de grandes bolsões de pobreza na Região, que são responsáveis por diversos problemas de saúde. Para tanto, foram utilizados como metodologia a Teoria dos Conjuntos Fuzzy (TFC) a partir do conceito de pobreza multidimensional, e como referência os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) dos anos de 1996, 2006 e 2011. Os resultados indicam quais estados nordestinos apresentam os melhores e os piores índices de pobreza, e sua situação em relação ao Brasil. A partir dessa constatação, o artigo aponta algumas políticas públicas que devem ser priorizadas.
Agricultura urbana e periurbana: limites e possibilidades de constituição de um sistema agroalimentar localizado no município de Teresina – PI
Authors: Vilela Sérgio Luiz de Oliveira , De Morais Maria Dione Carvalho 
Published: October 2023

Este artigo trata da importância da Agricultura Urbana e Periurbana (AUP), em especial, dos desafios de sua gestão e a decorrente necessidade de institucionalização de um Sistema Agroalimentar Localizado (SAL) como instrumento desta gestão, visando a situar esta atividade produtiva na agenda de políticas de desenvolvimento. Em Teresina, a concentração de 46 hortas, ocupando quase 140 hectares, no interior de uma mesma cidade, apresenta os requisitos básicos para a constituição de um SAL. A pesquisa bibliográfica pertinente, aliada ao conhecimento empírico da realidade, possibilitou concluir que a adoção de um SAL – não redutível ao caso de Teresina – coloca-se como medida profícua para, nesta cidade, fazer frente a transformações necessárias no âmbito da AUP, como parte significativa da agenda de planejamento municipal.
Intensidade tecnológica industrial, externalidades locais e produtividade urbana: Uma análise por cidades brasileiras no período 2000-2010
Authors: Gonçalves Eduardo , Cunha Ronan 
Published: October 2023

O artigo investiga se externalidades de especialização e/ou diversificação em setores industriais de maior intensidade tecnológica influenciam a produtividade urbana brasileira, medida por salários por trabalhador, no período 2000-2010. A metodologia é baseada em análise exploratória de dados espaciais e modelos econométricos espaciais, que tratam simultaneamente a autocorrelação espacial na variável dependente e no termo de erro. Os principais resultados econométricos indicam que as externalidades de especialização, originárias de setores de alta e média alta intensidades tecnológicas, são importantes condicionantes da produtividade urbana brasileira, mesmo após se controlar os transbordamentos espaciais de produtividade, efeitos fixos macrorregionais, nível de escolaridade da população, distância tecnológica da cidade líder e efeitos de economias de urbanização.

Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o financiamento público à inovação no Nordeste quanto à sua distribuição setorial na busca de inferir se há sinergias entre os setores priorizados pelas políticas industrial e de inovação e os setores efetivamente contemplados. Para isto serão analisadas duas fontes de informações: a Pesquisa de Inovação de 2009-2011 e 2012-2014; e dados da FINEP, BNDES e MCTI, para o período de 2005-2014. As análises realizadas indicam que os incentivos fiscais favoreceram os setores mais tradicionais, ao passo que o crédito e a subvenção econômica foram importantes para o fomento à inovação em setores novos para a localidade e ligados a áreas estratégicas da política.
POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS PARA O SETOR PRIMÁRIO ALINHADAS À BAIXA EMISSÃO DE CARBONO: MAPEAMENTO E TERRITORIALIZAÇÃO DOS ARRANJOS PRODUTIVOS LOCAIS DE SÃO JOSÉ DOS PINHAIS

Published: October 2023

Considerando a importância de São José dos Pinhais na cadeia produtiva do setor primário no Paraná e a sustentabilidade ambiental e econômica nas atividades produtivas do campo, neste trabalho são analisados alguns dos maiores arranjos produtivos locais de São José dos Pinhais. Através da matriz SWOT foram identificadas as maiores forças e oportunidades produtivas e também as maiores ameaças e fraquezas produtivas. O Plano de Agricultura de Baixa Emissão de Carbono e o Plano Nacional de Recuperação da Vegetação Nativa são políticas públicas já existentes no Brasil, mas, que não contemplam uma compensação financeira ambiental para o agronegócio. Assim, neste trabalho é sugerida a criação e a implantação da compensação financeira pela exploração ambiental (CFEA). Foram identificados como pontos fortes em algumas regiões a horticultura, a produção de cereais, a criação de frango e de boi. As fragilidades identificadas em algumas regiões foram a criação de caprino, suíno e frango e a produção de frutas e cereais. A realização do alinhamento do Plano de Agricultura de Baixa Emissão de Carbono com a sustentabilidade ambiental só é possível através da territorialização de área produtiva, mapeamento realizado neste trabalho

Published: October 2023

In two studies we aimed at developing the Attitude towards Italian Mafias Scale (AIMS). In study 1 (N = 292) we used an Exploratory Factor Analysis to reduce the number of the items and explore their latent constructs. In study 2 (N = 393) we performed a Confirmatory Factor Analysis on the resulting 18-item questionnaire, whose latent structure was best identified by a general factor Mafia Attitude and three specific factors related to Behaviors, Cognitions and Emotions-Cognitions towards mafias. Moreover, we showed that the AIMS has (i) discriminant validity compared to a measure of attitudes towards crime, (ii) predictive validity of donation behavior to an association against mafias, (iii) internal consistency, and (iv) invariance for people of the five deep-rooted mafia regions of Southern Italy and those from the rest of Italy. Finally, we observed a difference between the participants from the five deep-rooted mafia regions (i.e., Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Sicily) and the rest of Italy, with the former having surprisingly more negative attitudes towards mafias compared to the latter. The AIMS might help to reliably survey people’s sentiment towards Italian mafias and promote targeted and effective law-related education interventions.
Multiple mediation effect of coping styles and self-esteem in the relationship between spousal support and pregnancy stress of married immigrant pregnant women
Authors: Moon So-hyun , Kim Miok 
Published: October 2023

Background
The purpose of this study was to identify the total, direct, and indirect influence of spousal support on pregnancy stress among married immigrant pregnant women. The study aimed to determine the relative magnitudes of specific mediating effects of coping styles and self-esteem.

Method
A cross-sectional correlational survey was conducted in Gwangju with 206 married immigrant pregnant women. Data were collected from September 7 to November 7 in 2019. A self-report questionnaire was used to measure spousal support, pregnancy stress, coping styles, and self-esteem. The study employed a linear multiple regression analysis to examine the potential multi-mediating effects. The effect size was set at 0.15, the significance level at 0.05, and the power at 0.95. Through the analysis, the researchers explored the mediating mechanisms among the variables and identified the presence of multi-mediating effects.

Results
The effect sizes (b) and statistical significance (p) for the predictors were as follows: problem-focused coping (b = 0.13, p = 0.001), emotion-focused coping (b = 0.11, p = 0.004), and self-esteem (b = 0.10, p < 0.001). Emotion-focused coping (b = 0.26, p = 0.001) and self-esteem (b = −0.20, p = 0.035) had a significant impact on pregnancy stress. The total effect of spousal support on pregnancy stress was significant at −0.25 (p < 0.001), and the direct effect was also significant at −0.26 (p < 0.001). We observed significant mediating effects for emotion-focused coping and self-esteem.

Conclusions
As a result of this study, the self-esteem of married immigrant pregnant women can have a protective effect by preventing the aggravation of pregnancy stress in the relationship between spousal support and pregnancy stress. Meanwhile, the emotion-focused coping style can balance out the effect of self-esteem. Therefore, in order to alleviate the stress of pregnancy for women, it is necessary to provide intervention to help improve self-esteem with spousal support. In addition, nursing professionals should help them use appropriate coping styles.

ImportanceAlthough the EAT-Lancet Commission has recently proposed a planetary health diet (PHD) to promote human and environmental health, little is known about how PHD affects environment and mortality risk among an Asian population.ObjectiveTo investigate whether a PHD score is associated with environmental impacts and mortality outcomes in a Chinese cohort living in Singapore.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used data from the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Eligible participants were without known cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline; they were recruited between 1993 and 1998 and followed up using record linkage data until 2020. Data were analyzed from September 2022 to April 2023.ExposuresPHD score was calculated based on the reference consumption of 14 dietary components in PHD and individual energy intake assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire in this cohort.Main Outcomes and MeasuresDiet-related environmental impacts were estimated using a food frequency questionnaire. Mortality outcomes (all-cause, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory disease) were identified via linkage with a nationwide registry.ResultsA total of 57 078 participants were included in this study (mean [SD] age, 56.1 (7.9) years; 31 958 women [56.0%]). During a median (IQR) follow-up of 23.4 (18.7-26.2) years, 22 599 deaths occurred. Comparing the highest and lowest quintiles, higher PHD scores were associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions (β = −0.13 kg CO2 equivalent; 95% CI, −0.14 to −0.12 kg CO2 equivalent), but with higher total water footprint (β = 0.12 m3; 95% CI, 0.11-0.13 m3) and land use (β = 0.29 m2; 95% CI, 0.28-0.31 m2). In the adjusted multivariable model, compared with the lowest quintile, participants in the highest quintile of PHD score had lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.81-0.89), cardiovascular disease mortality (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.85), cancer mortality (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.86-1.00), and respiratory disease mortality (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.89).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study of Singapore Chinese adults, higher adherence to PHD was associated with reduced risk of chronic disease mortality. However, environmental impacts were uncertain, as higher adherence was associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions but higher total water footprint and land use.

Abstract

Objective
We explore apparent infection of Salmincola californiensis arising during investigations involving this lernaeopodid copepod parasitic on Pacific salmon and trout Oncorhynchus spp.

Methods
We noted occasional unusual coloration of adult female copepods collected from the wild. These females were bright blue and pink in contrast to the cream white coloration characteristic of the copepod. We also observed that similar color patterns developed under laboratory settings when copepod eggs were held for hatching. In paired egg cases, we found consistent hatching failure of blue and pink eggs and patterns in apparent disease development that would be consistent with both vertical and horizontal transmission.

Result
Attempts to identify the cause of the apparent infection using genetic methods and transmission electron microscopy were inconclusive.

Conclusion
Iridovirus infection was initially suspected, but bacterial infection is also plausible. This apparent reduced hatching success of S. californiensis warrants further exploration as it could reduce local abundances. Given the potential importance of a disease impacting this copepod, a parasite that itself affects endangered and commercially important Pacific salmon and trout, future research would benefit from clarification of the apparent infection through additional sequencing, primer development, visualization, and exploration into specificity and transmission.

Published: October 2023

ObjectiveOlder adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) account for up to one‐third of the RA population and are less likely to receive optimal treatment. For the subgroup of older adults with late‐onset RA (LORA), who experience more symptomatic and progressive disease, suboptimal treatment could be more consequential than the general population who age with RA. We evaluated use of disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in older adults with a new diagnosis of LORA.MethodsIn this retrospective observational study, we identified adults 66 years of age or older with a new diagnosis of LORA using Medicare data from 2008 to 2017. Information on baseline patient characteristics and DMARD initiation during the first 12 months after LORA diagnosis were collected. We also assessed concomitant use of glucocorticoids (GCs).ResultsWe identified 33,373 older adults with new diagnosis of LORA. Average age at LORA diagnosis was 76.7 (SD 7.6); 75.4% were female, 76.9% were White, and 35.6% had low‐income subsidy (LIS). Less than one‐third were initiated on a DMARD (28.9%). In multivariable analyses, DMARD initiation was associated with younger age, fewer comorbidities, and absence of LIS status. Concomitant long‐term (>3 months) GC use was higher among those on any DMARD (44.3%) compared with those without (15.2%).ConclusionsDMARD initiation after new diagnosis of LORA is low despite current clinical practice guidelines recommending early aggressive initiation of treatment. Long‐term GC use is common among those on any DMARDs, raising concern for suboptimal DMARD use. Further studies are needed to understand drivers of DMARD use in older adults.

Published: October 2023

AbstractClinical interpretation of genetic variants in the context of the patient's phenotype is a time‐consuming and costly process. In‐silico analysis using in‐silico prediction tools, and molecular modeling have been developed to predict the influence of genetic variants on the quality and/or quantity of the resulting translated protein, and in this way, to alert clinicians of disease likelihood in the absence of previous evidence. Our objectives were to evaluate the success rate of the in‐silico analysis in predicting the disease‐causing variants as pathogenic and the single‐nucleotide variants as neutral, and to establish the reliability of in‐silico analysis for determining pathogenicity or neutrality of von Willebrand factor gene‐associated genetic variants. Using in‐silico analysis, we studied pathogenicity in 31 disease‐causing variants, and neutrality in 61 single‐nucleotide variants from patients previously diagnosed as type 2 von Willebrand disease. Disease‐causing variants and non‐synonymous single‐nucleotide variants were explored by in‐silico tools that analyze the amino acidic sequence. Intronic and synonymous single‐nucleotide variants were analyzed by in‐silico methods that evaluate the nucleotidic sequence. We found a consistent agreement between predictions achieved by in‐silico prediction tools and molecular modeling, both for defining the pathogenicity of disease‐causing variants and the neutrality of single‐nucleotide variants. Based on our results, the in‐silico analysis would help to define the pathogenicity or neutrality in novel genetic variants observed in patients with clinical and laboratory phenotypes suggestive of von Willebrand disease.

Published: October 2023

AbstractBiOCl photocatalysis shows great promise for molecular oxygen activation and NO oxidation, but its selective transformation of NO to immobilized nitrate without toxic NO2 emission is still a great challenge, because of uncontrollable reaction intermediates and pathways. In this study, we demonstrate that the introduction of triangle Cl−Ag1−Cl sites on a Cl‐terminated, (001) facet‐exposed BiOCl can selectively promote one‐electron activation of reactant molecular oxygen to intermediate superoxide radicals (⋅O2−), and also shift the adsorption configuration of product NO3− from the weak monodentate binding mode to a strong bidentate mode to avoid unfavorable photolysis. By simultaneously tuning intermediates and products, the Cl−Ag1−Cl‐landen BiOCl achieved >90 % NO conversion to favorable NO3− of high selectivity (>97 %) in 10 min under visible light, with the undesired NO2 concentration below 20 ppb. Both the activity and the selectivity of Cl−Ag1−Cl sites surpass those of BiOCl surface sites (38 % NO conversion, 67 % NO3− selectivity) or control O−Ag1−O sites on a benchmark photocatalyst P25 (67 % NO conversion and 87 % NO3− selectivity). This study develops new single‐atom sites for the performance enhancement of semiconductor photocatalysts, and also provides a facile pathway to manipulate the reactive oxygen species production for efficient pollutant removal.
A review of reported effects of pelagic longline fishing gear configurations on target, bycatch and vulnerable species

Published: October 2023

Abstract

A meta‐analysis of 40 publications totalling 59 experiments was undertaken to review and assess the effects of changing the hook (circle vs. J‐hooks or tuna hooks), bait (fish vs. squid) and leader (wire vs. nylon) type on retention and at‐haulback mortality rates of teleosts (tunas and billfishes), elasmobranchs and sea turtles caught on shallow‐set and deep‐set pelagic longline fisheries.
Circle hooks are a promising approach to mitigate the impact of pelagic longline fisheries on sea turtles, as they reduced sea turtle retention rates. The adoption of circle hooks would, however, also lead to a decrease in swordfish retention, the main target species of shallow‐set pelagic longlines.
Using fish as bait resulted in lower retention rates of sea turtles, highlighting that option as an additional measure to further mitigate sea turtle bycatch. The bait type had non‐significant effects on sharks, except for blue shark and shortfin mako, for which at‐haulback mortality rates were significantly higher with fish bait.
The use of nylon leaders instead of wire leaders could serve as a conservation measure for sharks, as they reduced the retention of blue shark without adversely impacting the catches of swordfish. The results on the effect of the leader material types should, however, be interpreted with caution owing to the limited information available reporting on leader material effects.
When considering future research directions, priority should be given to experimental field work on the effects of leader material and on deep‐set longlines. Evaluating the post‐release survival of species should also be a priority.
Sliding dynamics and optimal control of avian influenza model with saturated incidence rate
Authors: Yang Shuangyan , Shen Fangfang , Zhang Qimin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we develop a susceptible‐infective‐susceptible‐infected‐recovered avian influenza model with saturated incidence rate and three control measures, which is proposed to evaluate the comprehensive effects of different control measures on the spread of avian influenza. Based on the threshold policy, the threshold level is used as the reference index of whether to take control measures. No control measures will be taken when the total number of infected birds and humans is less than the threshold level. Otherwise, the three control measures will be implemented simultaneously to mitigate the spread of the disease. Furthermore, by using the Utkin equivalent control method, the existence of sliding mode equation and its dynamics are investigated. Additionally, the method of dynamic programming is introduced to study the optimal control for the model. Through constructing and proving the existence of viscosity solution of the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, the optimal control pair is further obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the corresponding theoretical analysis results.
