Authors: Pidbutska Nina , Martynenko Yevhenii 
Published: November 2023

In this article, the analyzed scientific literature is devoted to the process of resiliency and the protective factors involved in this process. It was determined that protective factors are personal resources that interact with risks and stresses, reducing their consequences, they can be internal and external. Internal factors will be divided into physical, which include health and genetics, and mental, which are a set of personal qualities.
External factors include social ones, such as the presence of support from family and friends, positive interaction with other systems.Based on this, models of internal and external protective factors were developed. Each component of the model is characterized, and its influence on the process of building resilience is described.

The problem of increasing energy saving in industry leads to the need to develop new technical devices. The paper presents and analyzes the circuit of the resonance amplifier of active electric power, evaluates the characteristics of electromagnetic processes for the fundamental substantiation of the operation of real devices based on this circuit. Mathematical analysis of electromagnetic processes taking place was carried out using strict methods of the theory of electric circuits. The advantages of this scheme in comparison with similar previous proposals are shown. The device includes four active-reactive circuits that are inductively connected. The first of them is an input circuit with a harmonic signal source that needs to be amplified. The second circuit generates enhanced reactive power in the "voltage resonance" mode. The third circuit with an additional voltage source provides reactive power output from the second circuit in the "resonance of currents" mode without adverse effects on amplification processes. The fourth circuit, inductively connected to the third circuit, contains an output load - a resistor that simulates the allocation of active power. On the basis of the analysis and numerical evaluation of the characteristics of the processes taking place in the proposed scheme of the resonance amplifier of active electric power, its basic efficiency is shown. The calculations of the experimental model made it possible to formulate recommendations for the selection of circuit elements of a working resonant amplifier with a high efficiency for low-impedance output loads. The considered real parameters of the device make it possible to minimize the dissipation of the energy of converted electrical signals and to increase the amplification factor of the electric power of harmonic currents and voltage by choosing the element base. The obtained results can be considered as practical recommendations for the creation of real devices for amplifying active electric power for use in various industries.

Summary
Exploration risks of geothermal projects are high, as required economic production rates are often not achieved. Stimulation methods from the oil and gas industry, such as radial jet drilling (RJD), which can be used to cost-effectively create flow paths around a main borehole, are usually not applicable in geothermal applications due to especially hard reservoir formations. Because of that, a novel technology called micro-turbine drilling (MTD®) has been developed, which allows for the drilling of micro-sidetracks from cased boreholes even into very hard reservoir rock. The approach is based on the principles of the RJD operation. However, instead of a jetting nozzle, a microdrilling turbine is used to drive a bit that mechanically drills rock. This study presents the results of the proof of concept for MTD, which was conducted in the BedrettoLab in Switzerland at a depth of up to 1,053 ft (321 m) in granite rock.

Abstract
Background: Parental stress occurs when parenting demands are greater than the resources available to cope with parenting. Previous research has identified household wealth, educational level, marital status, age, and number of dependent children as predictors of parental stress. However, limited evidence exists from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study investigated the sociodemographic predictors of parenting stress among mothers in Kenya and Zambia.
Methods: Data were obtained from longitudinal nurturing care evaluation studies conducted in rural and urban study sites in Kenya and Zambia. Mean parental stress scores (PSS) were compared across study sites, and multiple regression modelling was used to examine associations between sociodemographic predictors (household income, educational level, marital status, maternal age, child age, number of children aged <5 years) and PSS, adjusting for clustering and other predictors.
Results: The mean PSS was lower in rural study sites and higher in urban sites (Kenya rural: 37.6 [SD=11.8], Kenya urban: 48.8 [SD=4.2], and Zambia rural: 43.0 [SD=9.1]). In addition, mothers’ income and educational level were associated with PSS (income: Kenya rural, β = -0.43; 95% CI[-16.07, -5.74]; P =.003**; Kenya urban, β = -0.33; 95% CI[-6.69, -0.80]; P =.01*; education: Kenya rural, β = -0.24; 95% CI[-8.97, -1.68]; P=.005**).
Conclusion: Measures to increase education levels, alleviate poverty, and improve household incomes, such as subsidising childcare, improving parental stress levels, and positive parenting practices, lead to better growth and development of their children.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

A series of cobalt-doped FeS (x% Co-FeS) nanoparticles prepared using a hydrothermal method were introduced as catalysts to generate powerful radicals from peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for endocrine disrupter bisphenol S (BPS) degradation in wastewater. The kinetic results showed that Co-doped FeS substantially enhanced the catalytic performance concerning FeS in activating the oxidative degradation of BPS by PMS, and activation efficiency increased with the proportion of Co-doping. The pH was controlled with a 50 mM phosphate buffer, and over 95% of BPS (20 mg/L) was removed within 20 min at pH 6 by 7% Co-doped FeS. Moreover, exceptional activation was obtained over a wide pH range (pH 4–11). Degradation efficiency increased with increasing catalyst loading and PMS concentration, and different background ions and temperatures minimally affected BPS degradation, implying suitability for different sewage environments. Furthermore, quenching experiments coupled with electron paramagnetic resonance technology identified singlet oxygen (1O2) and sulfate radicals (SO4•−) as the primary reactive oxygen species for BPS degradation. In addition, the catalysts presented favourable cyclability and stability in repeated batch experiments, providing insights into the application of Co-doped FeS as a promising heterogeneous catalyst for removing refractory organic contaminants in Fenton-like systems.
The effect of soft tissues on dynamical behavior of bovine tibia using modal analysis

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The dynamical behavior and vibrational characteristics of bone and the attached soft tissues, such as natural frequencies are widely used in therapeutic vibrations including the detection of the pain threshold and tissue damage, fracture healing and bone remodeling, and design of implants. Most of studies, have focused on either bone or the soft tissues to investigate the final effects of these treatments. In the present research the vibrational characteristics of combined bone-soft tissues are studied. For this purpose, the bovine tibia and its attached muscles and tendons have been targeted. The experimental results of modal tests were collected and compared with a three-dimensional finite element analysis. Bone was modeled as an inhomogeneous isotropic material. The model includes bone marrow as an isotropic homogeneous material and the attached soft tissues as an incompressible hyperelastic isotropic material. It was found that the inhomogeneity bone and considering bone marrow does not enhance much the model results. The effect of soft tissues on the natural frequencies has shown a reduction of 12% in the first two transverse modes and up to 70% in higher modes. The stiffening effect of soft tissue (due to large deformation) on the as natural frequencies was also investigated. An increase of up to 70% (at some frequencies) was observed in larger deformations.
Historical Trends of Trace Metals in the Sepetiba Bay Sediments: Pollution Indexes, Fluxes and Inventories
Authors: Rodrigues Sarah K. , Machado Wilson , Barreira João , Vinzón Susana 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

The environmental condition of surface sediments in Sepetiba Bay is influenced by the presence of trace metals derived from human activities. The trace metals contents vary considerably, with the highest values recorded in the inner part of the bay (Cd: 2.4 , Cu: 18.8, Ni: 12.2 , Pb: 20.4, Zn: 393 mg kg-1) and the lowest at Marambaia Barrier Island area (Cd: non-detected, Cu: 2.6, Ni: 0.2, Pb: 0.2, Zn: 3.35 mg kg-1). Mean annual fluxes of trace metals have increased since the 1950s, especially for Cd (8 x 10-5 to 0.4 g m-2 y-1) and Zn (4.0 to 60.9 g m-2 y-1) at Enseada das Garças. However, decreasing patterns towards the surface occur for all elements since the 2000’s. Pollution indexes reveal that Cd is the most concerning trace metal in Sepetiba Bay, with "high contamination and ecological risk" in recent layers of the inner area and “moderate contamination and ecological risk” at Marambaia Barrier Island region. Mineral phases and ligands are critical in the metal's distribution, due to the dynamic environment, continuously altered by natural and anthropogenic remobilization events. After examining the trends in Cd and Zn over the past 50 years regarding the point source of pollution, it is time to investigate other metals of concern, such as Cu and Pb, especially given the growth of industrial and harbor activities in the Sepetiba Bay basin. Other point and non-point pollution sources for the system are expected. Recent episodes of sediment remobilization raise concerns about the release of contaminants into the water column, increasing their bioavailability and toxicity.
The Information Content of US Industry Returns: Further Evidence
Authors: Laopodis Nikiforos T. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper re-examines the information content of selected US industries focusing on the dynamic linkages among these industries, the stock market and a number of fundamental variables. The period of investigation spans from January 1960 to December 2021. The empirical strategy includes several methodologies such as regressions, vector autoregressions and volatility models. The idea is to investigate the dynamic linkages among these series at both the mean and the volatility levels. The results point to significant industry returns’ explanatory power for many predictors of economic activity including the stock market. Further, time-varying analysis of the linkages among the industries and the stock market’s returns reveal that certain industries such as Oil and Financials provide consistent information leadership over other industries and across decades. Further, upon assessing the industry–market return volatility spillovers, it was found that a market risk–return profile may not always be economically significant and timely for investors. Finally, crises, financial or otherwise, affect industries but to differing degrees.

Abstract

Closely-related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments1,2. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential, and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary time. Classic theory suggests a “cost of complexity”: adaptation should occur via genes affecting fewer traits to reduce deleterious side-effects (i.e. lower pleiotropy)3. Adaptation to climate presents a natural laboratory to test this theory, as even distantly-related species must contend with similar stresses4. Here, we re-analyse genomic data from thousands of individuals from 25 plant species to identify a suite of 108 genes enriched for signatures of repeated local adaptation to climate. This set includes many genes with well-known functions in abiotic stress response, identifying key genes that repeatedly drive adaptation in species as distantly-related as lodgepole pine and Arabidopsis (~ 300 My). Using gene co-expression networks to quantify each gene’s pleiotropy, we find enrichment for greater network centrality/interaction strength and broader expression across tissues (i.e. higher pleiotropy), contrary to the ”cost of complexity” theory. These genes may be particularly important in helping both wild and crop species cope with future climate change, representing a set of important candidates for future study.

Abstract
Food security is fast becoming one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. With increasing climate instability, crop growth is now routinely affected by adverse weather patterns, which can result in reduced crop yields and even crop death. We are developing an environmentally responsible molecular heater to help boost plant growth, to expand the geographic regions suitable for such growth and to protect plants against cold weather. Our molecular heater, sinapic diacid (SDA, 2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)malonic acid), acts as a light-to-heat agent, converting solar energy into heat energy delivered to the plant. We have designed and optimised a sustainable chemical synthesis of SDA, characterised its photophysical properties using a combination of steady-state and ultrafast laser spectroscopy techniques and complementary computational studies, assessed its light-to-heat energy transfer performance to plant leaves in vivo, and explored key environmental and toxicological endpoints through in silico studies. Our spot-test results demonstrate that adsorbed SDA efficiently converts solar energy to heat energy, increasing the local plant leaf temperature by ~ 0.2 °C after sustained irradiation, with no alerts to environmental fate and human toxicity, and with impressive resilience to prolonged solar irradiation. Our studies reveal the hitherto untapped potential of molecular heaters such as SDA for helping to boost plant growth and protect plants against climate instability, with transformative potential towards food security.
The rural mortality penalty in U.S. hospital patients with COVID-19
Authors: Thompson Jeffrey A. , Mudaranthakam Dinesh Pal , Chollet-Hinton Lynn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic brought greater focus to the rural mortality penalty in the U.S., which describes the greater mortality rate in rural compared to urban areas. Although it is understood that issues such as access to care, age structure of the population, and differences in behavior are likely drivers of the rural mortality penalty, it is critical to try and understand these factors to enable more effective public health policy.
Methods
We performed a cross-sectional analysis of a population of patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to hospitals in the United States between 3/1/2020 and 2/26/2023 to better understand factors leading to outcome disparities amongst groups that all had some level of access to hospital care, hypothesizing that deteriorated patient condition at admission likely explained some of the observed difference in mortality between rural and urban populations.
Results
Our results supported our hypothesis, showing that the rural mortality penalty persists in this population and that by multiple measures, rural patients were likely to be admitted in worse condition, had worse overall health, and were older.
Conclusions
Although the pandemic threw the rural mortality penalty into sharp relief, it is important to remember that it existed prior to the pandemic and will continue to exist until effective interventions are implemented. This study demonstrates the critical need to address the underlying factors that resulted in rural-dwelling patients being admitted to the hospital in worse condition than their urban-dwelling counterparts during the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely affected other healthcare outcomes as well.
Spatiotemporal heterogeneity in meteorological and hydrological drought patterns and propagations influenced by climatic variability, LULC change, and human regulations

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Quantifying meteorological-hydrological drought propagations and elucidating the underlying physical mechanisms and anthropogenic influences provides integral insights for strengthening drought prediction and adaptation. This study utilizes the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) to characterize meteorological and hydrological droughts across different climate zones, respectively. Drought propagation times are quantified via the strongest correlation coefficient method. Potential influencing mechanisms are explored through modeling experiments comparing observed droughts under a climate-human activities scenario versus simulated droughts under a climate-land use/land cover (LULC) changes scenario using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model from 1968–2010. The “simulated-observed” approach enables assessment of human regulation impacts on hydrological drought characteristics and propagations. The Yellow River Basin (YRB), divided into six subzones based on climate characteristics, is selected as the case study. The results reveal several key findings: (1) Meteorological droughts were extremely severe across most YRB during the 1990s, while the 2000s showed some mitigation primarily due to precipitation increases. (2) Hydrological droughts and propagation times from meteorology to hydrology demonstrated substantial spatiotemporal variability. In general, summer propagation times were shorter than other seasons. (3) Propagation times were shorter in arid regions with cropland or built-up land cover versus grassland and woodland, while the reverse held for humid regions. (4) Human regulations prolonged propagation times, likely due to reservoir regulations designed to overcome water deficits.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) have been described in critically ill patients with respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or sepsis. This scoping review aimed to systematically summarize existing literature on critical illness-associated CMBs.Methods Studies reporting on adults admitted to the intensive care unit for respiratory failure, ARDS or sepsis with evidence of CMBs on magnetic resonance imaging were included for review following a systematic search across five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science) and a two-stage screening process. Studies were excluded if patients’ CMBs were clearly explained by another process of neurological injury.Results Forty-eight studies reporting on 216 critically ill patients (mean age 57.9, 18.4% female) with CMBs were included. Of 216, 197 (91.2%) patients developed respiratory failure or ARDS, 5 (2.3%) developed sepsis, and 14 (6.5%) developed both respiratory failure and sepsis. Of 211 with respiratory failure, 160 (75.8%) patients had Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The prevalence of CMBs among critically ill patients with respiratory failure or ARDS was 30.0% (111 of 370 patients in cohort studies). The corpus callosum and juxtacortical area were the most frequently involved sites for CMBs (64.8% and 41.7% of all 216 patients, respectively). Functional outcomes were only reported in 48 patients, among whom 31 (64.6%) were independent at discharge, 4 (8.3%) were dependent at discharge, and 13 (27.1%) did not survive until discharge. Cognitive outcomes were only reported in 11 of 216 patients (5.1%), all of which showed cognitive deficits (9 patients with executive dysfunction, 2 patients with memory deficits).Conclusions CMBs are commonly reported in patients with critical illness due to respiratory failure, ARDS, or sepsis. CMBs had a predilection for the corpus callosum and juxtacortical area, which may be specific to critical illness-associated CMBs. Functional and cognitive outcomes of these lesions are largely unknown.
