Abstract
Background. U.S. Latinos experienced disproportionate COVID-19 impacts in terms of morbidity and mortality. Vaccination against COVID-19 is an important strategy for mitigating health impacts, and yet, vaccine uptake was slower among U.S. Latino adults compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Vaccine hesitancy has been a significant barrier within Latino communities, and exposure to misinformation has been associated with negative attitudes toward vaccination. While some COVID-19 mitigation efforts have included community-based outreach, few studies have explored the impact of community-based digital messaging in Spanish to counter COVID-19 misinformation, build trust, and promote vaccination. Methods. To address this gap, we conducted a one-year repeated cross-sectional study to assess changes in COVID-19 vaccine uptake, intentions, and perceived norms, as well as barriers to accessing reliable information and levels of trust in COVID-19 information sources among Latino adults exposed to Brigada Digital de Salud social media content. This culturally-tailored content disseminated on Facebook, Instagram, and X platforms was amplified by community health workers and partners, and focused on COVID-19 risk and prevention, vaccine safety and efficacy, and correcting related misinformation. Results. Statistically significant increases in COVID-19 vaccination, intentions to vaccinate children, and vaccination subjective norms were observed from May 2022 (wave 1) to April 2023 (wave 2). Among perceived difficulties accessing information, respondents indicated the most difficulty in judging the reliability of COVID-19 information in the media; however, a statistically significant decrease in perceived difficulty was observed between waves. With regard to trust in COVID-19 information sources, levels of trust were highest for healthcare providers in both waves. From wave 1 to wave 2, there were statistically significant increases in trust in the FDA to ensure COVID-19 vaccine safety and trust in the federal government to ensure child COVID-19 vaccine safety. Conclusions. Social media messaging by trusted community-based sources shows promise as a strategy for combating health misinformation and ameliorating information access gaps for language minority populations. This digital approach represents an important tool for deploying critical information to underserved populations in public health emergency and crisis contexts, and for supporting changes in attitudes, trust, and behaviors to improve health outcomes.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is a complication of osteoporosis causing prolonged backpain, reduction in mobility, and death. However, little clinical information is available to understand the VCF in osteoporotic older women. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of VCF in older women with osteoporosis.
Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 279 older women with osteoporosis at the Rheumatology and Neurosurgery department, and Rheumatology clinic, University Medical Center, from August 2022 to May 2023.
Results 102/279 (36.6%) older women had at least one vertebral fracture and more than 50% of participants present as symptomatic. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed age, marital status, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, ischemic heart disease, frailty, falls, and T-score at femoral neck, total hip and lumbar spine associated with VCF. In the adjusted model, only physical activity (OR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.20 – 0.94; p = 0.038), osteoarthritis (OR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.12 – 0.48; p <0.001), frailty (OR: 7.41; 95% CI: 3.45 – 16.73; p <0.001); falls (OR: 3.86; 95% CI: 1.68 – 9.32; p = 0.002), T-score at femoral neck (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.41 – 0.92; p = 0.002) were associated with vertebral fracture.
Conclusions The prevalence of VCF was quite high among older women with osteoporosis, highlighting a disease burden in this population. Physical activity, osteoarthritis, higher T-score at femoral neck decreased odds of VCF while frailty and falls increased odds of VCF.
Understanding and Perception of Automated Text Generation among the Public: Two Surveys with Representative Samples in Germany
Authors: Henestrosa Angelica Lermann , Kimmerle Joachim 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

The application of automated text generation (ATG) technology has evolved rapidly in the last several years, leading to more available content being produced by artificial intelligence (AI). With the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, a tool is now at hand that allows virtually everyone to create naturally sounding text on any topic. However, research on public beliefs about and attitudes toward ATG is lacking. Two surveys with representative samples (n1 = 1,028, n2 = 1,013) examined the German population’s concepts of and attitudes toward AI authorship in 2022 and 2023. The results revealed a preference for human authorship across a wide range of topics and a lack of knowledge concerning the function, data sources, and responsibilities of ATG. Using multiple regression analysis with k-fold cross-validation, we identified several significant predictors of the intention to read AI-written texts in the future. Despite the release of ChatGPT, we observed stability across most variables and minor differences between the two survey points regarding concepts about ATG. We discuss the findings against the backdrop of the ever-increasing availability of automated content and the need for an intensive societal debate about the chances and limitations of this technology.
Species diversity, distributions and conservation implications of Ichthyofauna of hill streams of Anamalai Tiger Reserve, Southern Western Ghats, India

Abstract
The increasing human accomplishments on inland waterways have an impact on species reduction and displacement worldwide. The study investigated the diversity, distribution, and conservation needs of freshwater fish in Anamalai Tiger Reserve, Southern Western Ghats, and was conducted from October 2012 to May 2019. It covers 53 sites, spread along the upstream and downstream parts of the Chalakudy river system and the Cauvery river system of Anamalai Tiger Reserve, and has documented a total of 69 species of fish belonging to 7 orders, 19 families, and 41 genera. Cypriniformes is the dominant order, with 23 genera and 44 species (63.7%), followed by the catfishes of the order Siluriformes, with 5 families, 5 genera, and 10 species (14.4%). Among the 69 recorded species, 33 are endemic, 34 are non-endemic to the Western Ghats, 3 are introduced exotic species, 1 is critically endangered (CR), 11 are endangered (EN), and 3 are vulnerable (VU) in IUCN red list categories. The result explains that species abundance, dominance, and richness are influenced by factors like altitude (68.832), area (7.049), and volume. Fish species richness and abundance showed a direct relationship with increasing stream order, with maximum values downstream in low-elevation regions. The Karuneer river site has the greatest number of threatened fish species and falls under an evergreen forest of undisturbed human pressure. Three exotic species were recorded from several sampling sites. Many of these species are under extreme pressure due to habitat changes and other human-induced impacts. Creating awareness about threatened species and the river system of Chalakudy and Cauvery upstream areas is needed to declare them fish sanctuaries for conserving the existing threatened species.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ni3(HITP)2 (HITP: 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) is a very typical 2D electrically conductive Metal-organic framework (EC-MOF) material with great promising as active materials in electronic devices. Gas-liquid interface self-assembly is a common method to processed free-standing thin film for this EC-MOF. Owing to the different contact environment during growth process, Ni3(HITP)2 film prepared by gas-liquid interface method has different morphology for up-side surface exposing to air and down-side surface infiltrating in solution. However, the asymmetrical morphology of Ni3(HITP)2 film and its influence on sensing performance have never been implemented. In this work, gas-liquid interface self-assembly method is used to obtain an asymmetrical Ni3(HITP)2 nano-film in surface morphology with a flat up-side surface and an island-like down-side surface. The surface morphology of as-prepared film has remarkable influence on glucose sensing property. The island-like structure for down-side surface film exhibit more excellent glucose sensing performance because its abundant crystal defect which play an important role in enhancing glucose catalytic oxidation capacity.

Abstract
Increased apoptosis in penis due to cavernous nerve injury (CNI) is a crucial contributor to erectile dysfunction (ED). Caveolin-1 scaffolding domain (CSD)-derived peptide (CSD peptide) has been found to exhibit potential antiapoptotic property. However, it remains unknown whether CSD peptide therapy can alleviate the apoptosis of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs), and ED in CNI rats. We aimed to validate the assumption that CSD peptide may promote the improvement of bilateral CNI-induced ED (BCNI-ED) by enhancing the antiapoptotic processses of CCSMCs. Fifteen 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned into three groups at random: sham surgery (Sham) group and BCNI groups that underwent saline or CSD peptide treatment respectively. At 3 weeks postoperatively, erectile function (EF) was assessed. Then, processed penis was histologically examined. To investigate the mechanism of action of CSD peptide in treating BCNI-ED, an in vitro model of CCSMC apoptosis was established using transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1). In BCNI rats, CSD peptide significantly prevented ED, raised the phosphorylation of AKT, and decreased the expressions of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase3, and the quantity of apoptotic cells. TGF-β1-treated CCSMCs exhibited lower levels of p-AKT, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and cell viability, along with higher levels of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, apoptotic index, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and malondialdehyde (MDA). However, CSD peptide partially restored these alterations. Consequently, BCNI-ED may be prevented in part by CSD peptide-mediated reduction of CCSMC apoptosis, which further promotes the development of CSD peptide as an effective therapy for pRP-ED.
Numerical Analysis of the Impact of Decreasing the Intra-specific Competition of the Second Plant Specie on Biodiversity Scenario
Authors: Udoh Ndipmong 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The intra-specific coefficients are used in a scientific method that goes beyond creating a biodiversity index to provide a numerical evaluation of various biodiversity scenarios. The ODE 45 is an efficient computational method that is used to obtain this quantification. According to our observations, biodiversity typically increases when the intra-specific coefficient is changed by percentages of 40%, 45%, 90%, 99%, and 99.99%. But the biodiversity advantage we saw at first turns into a biodiversity loss as the variances hit 101% and 105%. This shift takes place between the 99.99% and the 101% variation of the same parameter, which is the range of intra-specific coefficient variation. By using the distinct bifurcation intervals, we have found in this work, we can more effectively monitor the main worry regarding the loss of biodiversity gain, which can be interpreted as a decline in yields. Researchers studying the effects of climate change on plant species yields and related agricultural crops, such as environmentalists, numerical mathematicians, and numerical simulators, are expected to find significant value in the research findings of this study. This study presents and quantitatively discusses novel results that have not been previously reported elsewhere.
Phase Behaviour of Isobutane + CO2 and Isobutane + H2 at Temperatures between 190 and 400 K and at Pressures up to 20 MPa
Authors: Latcham Riley V. , Trusler J. P. Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mixtures containing isobutane, carbon dioxide, and/or hydrogen are found in various industrial processes, green refrigerant systems, and the growing hydrogen industry. Understanding the thermophysical properties of these mixtures is essential for these processes, and depends on reliable experimental data. Making use of an automated static-analytical apparatus, measurements were made of the phase behaviour of binary mixtures of isobutane with CO2 and with H2, extending the range of available data for both mixtures. Measurements of the system isobutane + CO2 were carried out along three isotherms at temperatures of (240, 280, and 310) K with pressures from the lower limit of the sampling system (~ 0.5 MPa) to the mixture critical pressure. The results exhibit good agreement with literature data. Measurements on isobutane + H2 were carried out along nine isotherms at temperatures of (190, 240, 280, 311, 339, 363, 375, 390, and 400) K with pressures up to 20 MPa, covering a much broader range of conditions than the one prior investigation. The results have been used to optimise temperature dependant binary parameters in the Peng-Robinson equation of state with two different mixing rules. This approach was found to perform well in comparisons to alternative models.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background Surgery and adjuvant therapy are still the primary treatments for lung cancer,however, there is a lack of clear treatment guidelines specifically tailored for elderly patients with lung cancer. The objective of our study is to evaluate the clinical benefit and impact of surgey and adjuvant therapy in elderly patients(i.e.,≥ 70 years old) with lung cancer.
Methods Cases of elderly lung cancer were retrieved and obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEERs) database between 2010 and 2015. These cases were divided into surgery and no‑surgery group, and Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to balance the baseline characteristics between the two groups. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors. Overall survival (OS) and cancer‑specific survival (CSS) were compared by using the Kaplan-Meier method and log‑rank test.
Results Our study enrolled a total of 38,359 patients, with 22,132(56.7%) in the surgery and 16,227(43.3%) in the no‑surgery group. After being matched at a 1:1 ratio by PSM, 9439 patients from each group were included. Among age-stratified analysis (70-74; 75-79; 80-84; ≥85), The 5-year OS rate was 90.6%, 56.3%, 28.1% and 12.5% respectively in the surgery group and was 90.6%, 56.3%, 28.1% and 12.5% respectively in the no-surgery group(all p<0.05); The 5-year CSS rate was 90.6%, 56.3%, 28.1% and 12.5% respectively in the surgery group and was 90.6%, 56.3%, 28.1% and 12.5% respectively in the no-surgery group (all p<0.05). After multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjuvant therapy was an independent prognostic factor for OS and CSS (all P < 0.05). Further study show among elderly lung cancer patients, postoperative radio-chemotherapy had no improvement to survival.
Conclusion Among elderly patients(i.e.,≥ 70 years old), Surgical resection provided a significant overall survival benefit. However, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy may not provide survival benefits for postoperative elderly patients.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Selectivity of chemical reactions of fullerenes is a challenge of fullerene science, as there is no universal tool to predict the favorability of the alternative reaction modes within one reactivity index. In the present work, using Bader’s theory Atoms-in-Molecules, we have studied the ellipticities of the C = C bonds in the molecules of fullerene adducts C60Xn (n = 1–3) with symmetric addends X = CH2 and O. We have obtained the correlations between the thermodynamic stability of the fullerene adducts and bond ellipticities in the molecular of their precursors. The found regularity may be further used for predicting the reactivity of fullerene derivatives and estimating of regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reactions.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Computer technology has brought greater convenience and effect to landscape architecture design. A multimedia-based landscape architecture method based on the optimization calculation method of swarm intelligence is proposed in this paper. Composition is performed through creation of the environment for the landscape architecture; then the landscape architecture processing in the basic classic multimedia environment is compared and analyzed; meanwhile updated methods are provided. The experimental results prove that compared with the traditional way of calculation and planning, the calculation method using the swarm intelligence optimization path has a smaller comparison of path length and can meet the design and planning standards of landscape architecture.
Application of vibration analysis for the diagnosis of rotating machines
Authors: Mohamedi Walid 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By examining the RPM profile, analysts can identify any deviations or anomalies in the vibration patterns at different speeds. This information can help identify potential faults or imbalances within the rotating machinery. For example, unbalanced rotors or misalignment issues may manifest as increased vibration amplitudes at specific speeds. With a comprehensive understanding of the RPM profile, analysts can make informed decisions regarding maintenance and repairs. By identifying the specific speed ranges where vibrations are problematic, they can schedule maintenance activities accordingly. This proactive approach can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
The importance of the dihydrodaidzein racemase and dihydrodaidzein reductase activities and the host microorganism to achieve an efficient equol production by engineered lactic acid bacteria

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Equol is an isoflavone produced from daidzein by the microbial metabolism and it is of great interest for human health. Since equol production was described in bacteria that are difficult to grow and considered unsafe, the heterologous expression of genes involved in equol production in Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and easily culturable bacteria is of great interest for the production of equol in large quantities. The heterologous expression of daidzein reductase (dzr), dihydrodaidzein reductase (ddr), tetrahydrodaidzein reductase (tdr) and dihydrodaidzein racemase (ifcA) from Slakia isoflavoniconvertens DSM 22006 in GRAS bacteria demonstrated that these bacteria were capable of producing equol from dihydrodaidzein (DHD), but only a few strains could produce equol from daidzein, always in low concentrations, with the exception of Limisolactobacillus fermentum INIA 584L and Limosilactobacillus fermentum INIA 832L. This study demonstrated that lactic acid bacteria can be engineered to produce bioactive compounds such as equol with high efficiency and the much higher production of equol by these strains was due to the greater activities of dihydrodaidzein racemase (DDRC), which acts in conjunction with daidzein reductase to produce DHD (S), and dihydrodaidzein reductase (DHDR), which may be related with the reducing power. In addition, the heterologous expression of ddr in GRAS bacteria produced equol and dehydroequol from DHD in addition to tetrahydrodaidzein.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was a great challenge in searching for the pathogenic genes of complicated disorders that are deleterious to human health. To search for characterized genetic signatures of common diseases, we developed a causal genotype combination pattern (CGCP) program previously. In this study, we used mathematics formula to infer the theoretical existence of linear relationship between variants frequency and prevalence, then observed the robustness with multiple computer simulations. By operating a whole-exome sequencing dataset in 781 psoriasis cases and 676 healthy controls of the Chinese Han population with a new strategy of the CGCP method, 620 genotype combinations were identified specific for psoriasis which covered range from 4.7% (37) to 10% (78) of all cases, and the frequency of each genotype was common (≥ 1%). All these genotypes merged into 134 genes, and 41 of them have been reported to be associated with psoriasis previously. Besides immune-related genes, we also identified 23 genes related to ATP metabolism. Benefit by the public data set of 1000 Genomes Project Phase III and the prevalence of psoriasis in many different ethnic populations got though literature search, a strong positive correlation and a linear regression model (y = 0.617*x + 4.79E-3) were established between the average frequency of these psoriasis-specific genotype combinations (x) and the prevalence of disease in different ethnicities (y), which may explain the differentiated prevalence in different populations. This strategy provides a new perspective to understand the characteristics of population genetics in common diseases.
