Authors: Njikeu Olivier , Feumba Roger , Ngounou Ngatcha Benjamin 
Published: January 2025

The aim of this work is to delineate groundwater recharge potential zones in Bidou I, covering approximately a surface area of 144 km2. To meet this goal, seven influencing parameters were merged in a GIS. A total of 2370 Lineaments have been extracted and mapped using remote sensing and GIS technics. Their lengths vary between 60 and 4498 m with an average of 525 ± 420 m. Eight deformed rock types and two major fractures cross-cutting each other were identified. The mapped lineaments main directions (N330°N–045°E) define the groundwater flowing direction corresponding to the recharge average direction (N010°E) of the aquifers in the area. The water balance calculation shows that about 10% of the average interannual rainfall in the Kribi region (1991–2021) was effectively infiltrated. This implies that the effective recharge feeds the stock variation (ΔRi). The calculated rock filtration velocities range from 0.5 × 10−9 to 11.0 × 10−9 m/s with an average of 2.5 × 10−9 m/s. The LULC classes expressed as percentages of the total study area are: Vegetation: 90%, Water bodies: 5%, Bare soils: 4% and Built-up: 1%. In prelude to sustainable groundwater protection and management in the area, a five classes map (very poor, poor, moderate, good and very good) of Groundwater Recharge Potential Zones (GWRPZ) was realized by assigning to each layer a fixed weight and a score from Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) using weighted overlay analysis (WOA) tool.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the influence of frugality on subjective well-being (SWB) in early adult online shoppers, with religiosity as a moderator variable. The study participants consisted of men and women aged 18-40 years who are online shoppers in Indonesia. The hypothesis test was carried out using the Multiple Linear Regression technique, and the results of this study showed that the results showed that a positive relationship was found between the three variables. The results of the study also showed that religiousosis positively moderated the relationship between the variables ( = 0.073, p 0.10). In addition, it was found that the relationship was negatively correlated with the two variables (P 0.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that online shoppers can implement a lifestyle of simplicity by making a list of shopping priorities, comparing prices between platforms, and considering the use value of products before making purchases.

Published: January 2025

Introducción: Las fracturas de órbita representan entre el 24 % y el 36 % de todas las fracturas en la región maxilofacial, siendo las máscomunes aquellas que afectan el piso de la órbita (26 %). Tradicionalmente, el estándar de oro para la reconstrucción de estas fracturas ha sido el uso de mallas de titanio. No obstante, la malla Marlex se presenta como una alternativa viable para el manejo quirúrgico. Objetivos: El objetivo principal consiste en revisar la etiopatogenia de las fracturas del piso de la órbita y evaluar la malla Marlex como una opción para el tratamiento quirúrgico, destacando sus ventajas mecánicas, biológicas y su fácil manipulación. Resultados: La malla Marlex, fabricada en polietileno, posee excelentes propiedades mecánicas, tales como alta estabilidad y resistencia a la deformación. Además, es una malla no absorbible que se manipula con facilidad; se adapta bien a la forma del defecto y puede cortarse con tijeras según sea necesario. Esta malla no solo refuerza la zona afectada, sino que también facilita la formación de tejido óseo, al tiempo que proporciona soporte mecánico. Caso clínico: Un paciente masculino con una lesión significativa en los tejidos blandos de la región infraorbitaria derecha se trató inicialmente con una sutura de espesor total en urgencias. Después, fue derivado al servicio de cirugía maxilofacial del Instituto Traumatológico, donde se le diagnosticó una fractura del piso de la órbita derecha. El abordaje quirúrgico se realizó a través de esta herida para efectuar la plastia y suturar por planos, utilizando una malla de Marlex para reparar la fractura. Conclusiones: Aunque la malla de titanio es el estándar de oro, es esencial considerar alternativas como la malla Marlex, debido a sus notables virtudes biológicas y mecánicas. Esta malla ofrece resultados quirúrgicos y posoperatorios excelentes para el paciente.

Published: January 2025

Background
Perianal abscess is a common anal condition primarily caused by bacterial infections, yet the precise origins of these infecting bacteria remain unclear. Understanding the distinct microbial signatures associated with periaabscesses is crucial for provide fresh ideas for disease prevention.

Materials and Methods
Samples of anal skin, feces, and abscesses were collected from a cohort of 75 patients diagnosed with perianal abscesses. The microbial composition at each site was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize the bacterial communities present.

Results
Analysis using MaAslin2 revealed distinct bacterial compositional signatures among the anal skin, feces, and abscess samples. Alpha diversity analysis indicated significant differences in bacterial diversity between abscesses, anal skin, and feces, with abscesses showing lower diversity compared to higher richness in feces. Biomarker analysis highlighted key taxa such as Bacteroides and Escherichia-Shisgella in fecal samples, and Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium in anal skin samples. The analysis of abscess samples suggested that the bacterial composition may originate from the skin, feces, and potentially other sources.
Analysing head and trunk motion in the judo osoto-gari technique: relationship to sweeping-leg velocity
Authors: Liu Lingjun , Deguchi Tatsuya , Shiokawa Mitsuhisa , Hamaguchi Kazuto , Shinya Masahiro 
Published: January 2025

Background
Osoto-gari is a leg throw technique that primarily relies on the hip extension to initiate the sweeping motion of the leg. A high sweep contact velocity is a crucial factor in efficiently executing this technique. While some literature emphasises whole-body coordination in the leg-sweeping action, the roles of trunk and head motion remain unclear. This study investigates head and trunk movements (including the pelvic and upper torso) contributing to higher leg-sweep velocities when executing the judo osoto-gari.

Methods
Kinematic data were collected from 17 male black-belt judokas using a motion capture system (250 Hz). Pearson product-moment correlation and stepwise linear regression were used to identify kinematic variables linked to the sweeping-leg velocity at sweep contact (SC).

Results
Six out of twenty-four variables correlated with sweeping-leg velocity at SC. A stepwise regression model (adjusted R2 = 0.53, p = 0.009) predicted sweeping-leg velocity based on head-tilt angle at maximum sweeping-leg height (MSH) and SC, head-tilt angular velocity at MSH, and trunk-tilt angular velocity at MSH.

Conclusions
The findings of this study indicate that (1) increasing the forward angle of the head aids the visual system in rapidly processing spatial information about the target position, thus facilitating the execution of the leg sweep, and (2) a greater forward-tilt rotation of the head, which leads to rapid trunk rotation, is conducive to enhancing sweeping-leg velocity.

AbstractIn many real‐world applications of AI, the set of actors and tasks are not constant, but instead change over time. Robots tasked with suppressing wildfires eventually run out of limited suppressant resources and need to temporarily disengage from the collaborative work in order to recharge, or they might become damaged and leave the environment permanently. In a large business organization, objectives and goals change with the market, requiring workers to adapt to perform different sets of tasks across time. We call these multiagent systems (MAS)open agent systems(OASYS), and theopennessof the sets of agents and tasks necessitates new capabilities and modeling for decision making compared to planning and learning inclosedenvironments. In this article, we discuss three notions of openness: agent openness, task openness, and type openness. We also review the past and current research on addressing the novel challenges brought about by openness in OASYS. We share lessons learned from these efforts and suggest directions for promising future work in this area. We also encourage the community to engage and participate in this area of MAS research to address critical real‐world problems in the application of AI to enhance our daily lives.

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveWe aimed to reveal the role of structural and functional alterations of cingulate gyrus in early cognitive impairment in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.MethodsFifty‐six T2DM patients and 60 healthy controls (HCs) underwent a neuropsychological assessment and sagittal three‐dimensional T1‐weighted and resting‐state functional MRI. Differences in the cortical thickness of the cingulate cortex and the functional connectivity (FC) of the nine subregions of the cingulate gyrus and the whole brain were compared between T2DM patients and HCs. Correlation analysis was performed between cortex thickness and FC and the participants' clinical/cognitive variables.ResultsThe cortical thickness of the cingulate gyrus was not significantly different between T2DM patients and HCs. However, the T2DM patients showed significantly lower FC between the pregenual ACC (pACC) and the bilateral hippocampus, significantly higher FC between the pACC and bilateral lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and left precentral gyrus, and significantly lower FC between the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and right cerebellar Crus I. The FC between the pACC and the left hippocampus was negatively correlated with the FC between the pACC and LPFC (r = −0.306, p = 0.022).InterpretationThe pACC and the RSC show dysfunctional connectivity before the appearance of structural abnormalities in T2DM patients. Abnormal FC of the pACC with the bilateral hippocampus and LPFC may imply a neural compensatory mechanism for memory function. These findings provide valuable information and new directions for possible interventions for the T2DM‐related cognitive impairment.

AbstractTwo experiments aimed to determine whether working memory capacity (WMC) and high‐order executive functions predict drown detection performance and maintenance under heightened task demands. Experiment 1 (n = 111) found a positive correlation between enhanced performance scores and higher WMC, while executive function showed no comparable association. Experiment 2 (n = 28) individuals with elevated WMC demonstrated an ability to detect a greater number of drowning events over an extended period overall, relative to their lower scoring counterparts. However, this heightened capacity did not necessarily prevent the presence of vigilance decrement, but enabled lifeguards to perform more effectively under conditions of increased bather numbers. Our findings highlight that lifeguards have a measurable underlying process that may systematically discriminate lifeguards of varying degrees of experience and detection performance. This offers a new avenue for future lifeguarding research.

AbstractHigh‐performance thin‐film transistors (TFTs) integrated circuits (ICs) have become increasingly necessary to meet the emerging demands such as healthcare, edge computing, and the Internet of Things, etc. This article aims to point out the potential development trends and bottlenecks of TFT ICs, enhancing their performance in terms of electronic performance, stability, consistency, CMOS design, and manufacturing capability. Basic device structures and overall metrics of TFT ICs are explored, as well as their superiority compared to silicon‐based ultrathin chips. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon, low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous oxide semiconductors are widely used in displays due to their ability to be deposited on large areas at low processing temperatures and low cost, and are validated in many prototypes for TFT ICs. Their conduction mechanisms, process flows, performance evaluation, and recent advances are comprehensively viewed. In addition, the potential of emerging low‐dimensional materials as next‐generation channel materials is discussed, along with their limitations and progress in this field. Finally, the major challenges in manufacturing high‐performance TFT ICs and future perspectives are summarized.

Published: October 2023

AbstractDiabetic wound is one of the chronic wounds that is difficult to heal, and effective treatment of it still confronts a great challenge. Monitoring the variation of diabetic wound microenvironment (such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)) can understand the wound state and guide the wound management. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel with the abilities of monitoring the H2O2 concentration, alleviating oxidative stress and promoting wound healing is developed, which is prepared by encapsulating manganese‐containing bioactive glass (MnBG) and CePO4:Tb in biocompatible gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel (CPT‐MnBG‐Gel). On the one hand, the H2O2‐dependent fluorescence quenching effect of the CePO4:Tb contributes to visible monitoring of the H2O2 concentration of wounds via smartphone imaging, and the CPT‐MnBG‐Gel hydrogel can effectively monitor the H2O2 level of 10.35–200 µmol L−1. On the other hand, MnBG can alleviate oxidative stress and promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vitro owing to the bioactive Mn and Si ions, and in vivo evaluation also demonstrates that the CPT‐MnBG‐Gel hydrogels can effectively accelerate wound healing. Hence, such multifunctional hydrogel is promising for diabetic wound management and accelerating wound healing.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMicroelectronic morphogenesis is the creation and maintenance of complex functional structures by microelectronic information within shape‐changing materials. Only recently has in‐built information technology begun to be used to reshape materials and their functions in three dimensions to form smart microdevices and microrobots. Electronic information that controls morphology is inheritable like its biological counterpart, genetic information, and is set to open new vistas of technology leading to artificial organisms when coupled with modular design and self‐assembly that can make reversible microscopic electrical connections. Three core capabilities of cells in organisms, self‐maintenance (homeostatic metabolism utilizing free energy), self‐containment (distinguishing self from nonself), and self‐reproduction (cell division with inherited properties), once well out of reach for technology, are now within the grasp of information‐directed materials. Construction‐aware electronics can be used to proof‐read and initiate game‐changing error correction in microelectronic self‐assembly. Furthermore, noncontact communication and electronically supported learning enable one to implement guided self‐assembly and enhance functionality. Here, the fundamental breakthroughs that have opened the pathway to this prospective path are reviewed, the extent and way in which the core properties of life can be addressed are analyzed, and the potential and indeed necessity of such technology for sustainable high technology in society is discussed.

Published: October 2023

AbstractFor decades, mechanical resonators with high sensitivity have been realized using thin‐film materials under high tensile loads. Although there are remarkable strides in achieving low‐dissipation mechanical sensors by utilizing high tensile stress, the performance of even the best strategy is limited by the tensile fracture strength of the resonator materials. In this study, a wafer‐scale amorphous thin film is uncovered, which has the highest ultimate tensile strength ever measured for a nanostructured amorphous material. This silicon carbide (SiC) material exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of over 10 GPa, reaching the regime reserved for strong crystalline materials and approaching levels experimentally shown in graphene nanoribbons. Amorphous SiC strings with high aspect ratios are fabricated, with mechanical modes exceeding quality factors 108 at room temperature, the highest value achieves among SiC resonators. These performances are demonstrated faithfully after characterizing the mechanical properties of the thin film using the resonance behaviors of free‐standing resonators. This robust thin‐film material has significant potential for applications in nanomechanical sensors, solar cells, biological applications, space exploration, and other areas requiring strength and stability in dynamic environments. The findings of this study open up new possibilities for the use of amorphous thin‐film materials in high‐performance applications.
