Authors: Zhang Ping , Song Yidan , Tadesse Endale , Khalid Sabika , Gao Chunhai , Li Weijun 
Published: February 2024

AbstractUsing the event-related potentials (ERPs) technique, this study successively presented names (in either a supra- or subthreshold manner) and emotional words to examine how self-relevant cue (self-name) affects emotional word processing in word class judgment task (to determine whether an emotional word is a noun or adjective) and valence judgment task (to determine whether an emotional word is positive or negative). At the suprathreshold condition, self-relevant positive words elicited a more significant Early posterior negativity (EPN) than negative words only in the valence judgment task. In contrast, at the subthreshold condition, self-relevant negative words elicited an enhanced Late positive potential (LPP) than positive words only in the word class judgment task. These results indicate that self-relevant cue affects emotional word processing at both suprathreshold and subthreshold conditions; nevertheless, the effect manifests as self-positive bias at the suprathreshold condition and self-negative bias at the subthreshold condition. The experimental task modulates these dynamics.
Sustainable development strategy for historic neighborhood shrinkage: taking Puhuiquan neighborhood in Yulin, China, as an example
Authors: Zhang Yuzhao , Chen Shanshan , Hoistad Mark A. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Western cities have been confronted with the challenges of 'urban shrinkage' as changes in economic and production models have caused population migrations. China, in its recent history, has experienced rapid and dynamic growth in its cities. However, as its economy is evolving, it too is being confronted with 'urban shrinkage' challenges. Populations have been shifting inside small and medium sized cities in response to problems created during this rapid growth period. Most heritage areas have suffered from depopulation, neglect and disinvestment. The historic Puhuiquan neighborhood in Yulin City is a classic example of the current Chinese version of 'urban shrinkage'. Yulin City, founded as a military city five centuries ago, has shifted its focus away from its historic purpose into a resource-based city. Yulin’s planning developed new areas, drawing population out of the historic Puhuiquan neighborhood. This area is the home to a unique urban cultural landscape where land and architecture have merged to create the development of various types of 'cave' houses. Suffering from the effects of 'urban shrinkage', this research explores the causes and potential solutions for the area employing both 'smart shrinkage' and 'urban renewal' strategies, informed by local resident participation, to develop a sustainable renewal strategy for this heritage area.

Abstract
Background
In literature are reported different analytical methods (AM) to choose the proper fit model and to fit data of the time-activity curve (TAC). On the other hand, Machine Learning algorithms (ML) are increasingly used for both classification and regression tasks. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of employing ML both to classify the most appropriate fit model and to predict the area under the curve (τ).

Methods
Two different ML systems have been developed for classifying the fit model and to predict the biokinetic parameters. The two systems were trained and tested with synthetic TACs simulating a whole-body Fraction Injected Activity for patients affected by metastatic Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma, administered with [131I]I-NaI. Test performances, defined as classification accuracy (CA) and percentage difference between the actual and the estimated area under the curve (Δτ), were compared with those obtained using AM varying the number of points (N) of the TACs. A comparison between AM and ML were performed using data of 20 real patients.

Results
As N varies, CA remains constant for ML (about 98%), while it improves for F-test (from 62 to 92%) and AICc (from 50 to 92%), as N increases. With AM, $$\Delta \tau$$

Δ
τ

can reach down to − 67%, while using ML $$\Delta \tau$$

Δ
τ

ranges within ± 25%. Using real TACs, there is a good agreement between τ obtained with ML system and AM.

Conclusions
The employing of ML systems may be feasible, having both a better classification and a better estimation of biokinetic parameters.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper presents an innovative approach to decentralized data management in the German energy market, focusing on the use of decentralized data management with the help of Data Spaces to facilitate the automated change of energy suppliers within 24 h. The central focus of this research is the MakoMaker Space, a demonstrator project that employs the Connector from the Eclipse Data Space Components. The MakoMaker project demonstrates the successful automation of energy supplier changes, emphasizing the preservation of customer data sovereignty. It shows an alternative approach to the process, putting the customer into the center. Customers retain control of their data, which is accessible to providers as needed. While the paper discusses the potential for further enhancements, such as the integration of an identity provider and the development of a sustainable business model for service coordination, the primary focus is on the demonstrator’s successful application in a pilot setting.

PURPOSE To assess colorectal cancer (CRC) awareness and its influence on attitudes toward colonoscopy in Palestine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Convenience sampling was used to recruit Palestinian adults from hospitals, primary health care centers, and public spaces across 11 governorates. To evaluate the awareness of CRC signs/symptoms, risk factors, and mythical causes, the Bowel Cancer Awareness Measure and Cancer Awareness Measure-Mythical Causes Scale were used after translation into Arabic. For each correctly recognized item, one point was given. The total awareness score of each domain was calculated and categorized into tertiles; the top tertile was considered high awareness, and the other two tertiles were considered low awareness. RESULTS A total of 4,623 questionnaires were included. Only 1,849 participants (40.0%) exhibited high awareness of CRC signs/symptoms. High awareness of CRC symptoms was associated with higher likelihood of showing positive attitudes toward colonoscopy (odds ratio [OR], 1.21 [95% CI, 1.07 to 1.37]). A total of 1,840 participants (38.9%) demonstrated high awareness of CRC risk factors. Participants with high awareness of CRC risk factors were more likely to display positive attitudes toward colonoscopy (OR, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.07 to 1.37]). Only 219 participants (4.7%) demonstrated high awareness of CRC causation myths. There was no association between awareness of CRC causation myths and positive attitudes toward colonoscopy. CONCLUSION Awareness of CRC was poor with less than half of the study participants demonstrating high awareness of CRC signs/symptoms and risk factors, and a minority (<5%) displaying high awareness of CRC causation myths. High awareness of CRC signs/symptoms and risk factors was associated with greater likelihood of demonstrating positive attitudes toward colonoscopy. Educational initiatives are needed to address knowledge gaps and dispel misconceptions surrounding CRC.

Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy (PELD) is an effective, minimally invasive method for removal of lateral lumbar disk herniations. This minimally invasive technique can be applied with high success and lead to faster recovery than traditional methods. Unfortunately, adoption of these techniques in the United States has been slow. A significant barrier to using this technique is often an inability to completely visualize relevant anatomy and increased operative times. In this article, we describe a technique using computed tomography (CT) guidance in conjunction with a neurogram to perform a PELD. We detail the steps in the technique and its advantages to the surgeon performing it.

METHODS:
After a patient is placed supine on a table, a transforaminal injection of contrast is performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Then, after sterilizing and draping in a normal fashion, an intraoperative CT scan is taken with a reference frame in place. During the procedure, this allows for the CT guidance to have the exiting nerve root clearly outlined.

RESULTS:
This procedure was successfully performed in a single patient, allowing greater visualization of the exiting nerve root during a difficult revision PELD case. No complications were experienced.

CONCLUSION:
A novel technique using a neurogram with CT guidance during a PELD was used to assist with identification of anatomy and decompression of the exiting nerve root. This technique was used without complications.

Effective body posture entails the correct alignment of body parts in relation to each other and is crucial for preserving balance, stability, and the efficient operation of muscles and joints. The major types of posture abnormalities such as lordosis, kyphosis and scoliosis can lead to alterations in various areas of the body, such as stomatognatic system. The potential correlation between malocclusion and body posture remains a subject of controversy. The aim of this review is to investigate and evaluate the association between posture defects and malocclusion on the basis of literature. This literature review has analyzed 18 studies. Inclusion criteria: clinical researches published after 2010, regarding children and adults. PubMed and Google Scholar has been searched to identify the papers. In 18 analyzed studies, 2133 patients were enrolled (including 979 children aged 4-18). A positive correlation between scoliosis and different types of malocclusion has been proven by six papers. There are also other noteworthy dependencies, such as overjet and pelvic torsion, kyphosis and sagittal position of mandible, skeletal Class III and torticollis, cross bite and scapula plane. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis significantly affects the stomatognathic system, leading to issues like crossbite, crowding, increased overjet, overbite, partial open bite, and midline deviation. Orthopedists should collaborate with orthodontists for comprehensive treatment, particularly during developmental stages.
Design of Jacob’s ladder-based teaching aids for illustrating the dualities of benzene derivatives
Authors: Horikoshi Ryo , Nakajima Hiroki 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The dualities of benzene derivatives often make basic organic chemistry challenging for students. This includes the relationship between full structural and line-angle formulas, the distinctions between preferred and systematic IUPAC names for benzene derivatives, and the nuances between ortho-, para-, and meta-directors. To effectively demonstrate these dualities of benzene derivatives, we have designed a range of teaching aids rooted in the folk toy, Jacob’s ladder. This paper presents lectures designed for advanced placement high school students and nonchemistry majors, employing this innovative series of Jacob’s ladder-based teaching aids. The majority of students found the lecture engaging, and many developed a comprehensive understanding of the dualities of benzene derivatives.
Fostering Creativity in Higher Education Institution: A Systematic Review (2018–2022)
Authors: Setiamurti Astri , Kurniawati Farida 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Several studies have stressed the necessity of fostering students’ creativity in the twenty-first -century learning process, particularly at the higher educational level. This study synthesized the characteristics (country, study population, and field of education/subject), methods, and theoretical ground used to foster students’ creativity in higher education research. Using the PRISMA 2020 as a guideline for writing a systematic literature review, two databases (ProQuest and Scopus) were searched for peer-reviewed, primary, and empirical research published in English between January 1, 2018, and October 15, 2022. A final selection of 28 studies that met the eligibility criteria were examined. The result showed that most of the studies reviewed were conducted on undergraduate students in developed industrialized East Asian countries and used surveys as the primary data collection method. Moreover, the grounding theories used in fostering creativity in higher education research were still scarce. This study showed that further research is needed to examine the mechanism for developing student creativity in higher education with more diverse samples, rigorous methods, and theoretical grounding.
Flexural behavior of RC beams externally reinforced with CFRP composites using various strategies
Authors: Lafta Yousif Jabbar , Malik Hawraa S. , Jassim Majid Faissal 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The external composite material bonding is an effective and practical method for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, providing a large opportunity to develop high-performance and cost-effective structures. Numerous uses exist for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials as RC-member strengthening methods. However, issues with bonding and de-bonding continue to be a barrier to this technique's accomplishment. In this research, the CFRP sheets were integrated as an external strengthening material to evaluate their contribution to the flexural performance and so determine how well the CFRP sheets are being used. The experimental work includes one control beam and ten RC beams with CFRP sheets as external strengthening. All beams have the same dimensions: a length of 1.7 m and a sectional area of 20 cm × 25 cm. Experimental tests were carried out with varying CFRP types, lengths, numbers, and arrangements. Each beam’s performance was evaluated in terms of failure mode, ultimate load capacity, ultimate deflection, and a load–deflection curve. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of CFRP strengthening by demonstrating a considerable improvement in the majority of the study variables. Furthermore, the CFRP strengthening offered an exterior crack-arresting mechanism.
Petrogenesis of Jurassic granitic rocks in South China Block: Implications for events related to subduction of Paleo-Pacific plate
Authors: Tian Meng-Yu , Di Yong-Jun 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Frequent magmatic intrusion and eruption during the early Yanshanian in South China formed a unique and diverse igneous rock assemblage, mainly comprising granite, rhyolite, and some basic rocks. Nevertheless, the tectonic regime responsible for the formation of these granitic rocks remains controversial. The comprehensive available data suggest that the Jurassic granitic rocks formed during the period from 180 to 145 Ma, with an age peak at ca. 160 Ma. Jurassic rocks are predominantly concentrated in Wuyi, southern Hunan, northeast Guangdong, and southern Jiangxi, followed by the eastern Guangxi-western Guangdong areas, mainly including I-, S-, and A-type granites, and a few I–S transformation-type granites. These granitic rocks invariably exhibit enrichment in Rb, Th, U, and Pb, while Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti are depleted, and variable Eu/Eu* ratios. The whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopic and zircon Hf isotopic compositions show that the Jurassic granitic rocks are mainly recirculation products of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic rocks, as well as the mantle-derived magma, which played a major role in the formation process. Among them, the granites in eastern Guangxi-western Guangdong and Northeast Guangdong areas display higher ε
Nd(t) and ε
Hf(t) values, suggesting a relatively larger contribution from mantle-derived materials. Based on the comprehensive regional geological data, we interpret that these Jurassic granitic rocks as a product of lithosphere extensional-thinning, tectonic-magmatic interaction formed during the process of flat-slab subduction.
Law and Development: A Comparative Law Aspect
Authors: Lee Yong-Shik , Harding Andrew 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This article discusses the constituent elements of law and development, discusses its history, introduces relevant theories, and explores how law and development approaches may contribute to development efforts throughout the world. In the course of addressing these issues, we emphasize those aspects of the subject that bring into focus the traditional concerns of comparative law. We also introduce a General Theory of Law and Development that seeks to capture the different aspects of a subject that has, in general, lacked theoretical articulation. This Theory attempts to define the conceptual parameters of “law” and “development” and sets forth the mechanisms by which law affects development. We also examine the discipline’s relationship with comparative law and explore the path forward.

Authors: Xiong Zhiyuan , Wang De 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In order to better protect the ecosystem of Hangjia Lake, repair ecological problems, and improve biodiversity, this article takes the ecosystem of Hangjia Lake area as the research object and proposes a geographic information system (GIS)-based ecological restoration planning method under the Internet of Things. The ArcGIS software was used to analyze the rainfall, soil pollution, water pollution, and land use in Hangjiahu area, and evaluate the current status of ecosystem. Moreover, the weight of the influencing factors of ecosystem was calculated. In addition, the ecological restoration was planned from the perspective of optimizing resources and reasonable allocation. Furthermore, Hangjiahu area was planned reasonably based on land suitability and vegetation spatial pattern. The potential and limitation of dense waterway net region of Hangjiahu were analyzed by the multi-factor evaluation method. Finally, the planning was carried out from the aspects of soil and water conservation, biodiversity, and vegetation selection. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good effect on soil and water conservation and many biological species, so it can realize the efficient restoration for the ecosystem in Hangjiahu area.

In recent years, the interest in plant-based functional foods with various biological activities, especially antioxidant properties, has grown exponentially due to their potential health benefits. Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing harmful free radicals, which are reactive molecules that can cause cellular damage and contribute to various chronic diseases. Natural antioxidants are abundant in food and medicinal plants. These natural antioxidants, particularly polyphenols and carotenoids, have a variety of biological benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-atherosclerosis, and anticancer properties (Xu et al ., 2017). Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of antioxidants because they contain a variety of antioxidant components. Fruits and vegetables have varying levels of antioxidant activity. Each fruit and vegetable contains a distinct type of antioxidant, and this might vary from species to species as well as climate to climate (Ravimannan et al ., 2017). The paper discusses the underlying principles of oxidative stress and the mechanisms by which antioxidants counteract its effects (Fang et al ., 2002). It delves into the various classes of antioxidants found in plant-based foods, such as polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins (e.g., vitamin C and E), and trace minerals (e.g., selenium and zinc), explaining their diverse roles in protecting cells from oxidative damage (Peng et al., 2014). In this chapter we emphasize the vital role of plant-based functional foods as a source of natural antioxidants, contributing to the promotion of human health and well-being. Incorporating a diverse array of antioxidant-rich plant foods into the daily diet is crucial for supporting overall health and preventing chronic diseases.
Studies on Costa Rican Vanilloideae: the return of <i>Cleistes rosea</i> and a reaffirmation of <i>Epistephium ellipticum</i>
Authors: Karremans Adam P. , Chinchilla Isler F. , Rojas-Alvarado Gustavo 
Published: February 2024

Subfamily Vanilloideae represents a small fraction of the orchid flora of Costa Rica, and yet our knowledge of this predominantly South American group has significantly increased in the last two decades. Until recently, Vanilloideae was represented in Costa Rica by just two genera: Cleistes and Vanilla, with one and seven species, respectively. Today, up to 13 species of Vanilla are shown to occur in the country, we evidence the presence of a second species of Cleistes and confirm the presence of a third genus Vanilloideae in Costa Rica: Epistephium. The rare Cleistes rosea and Epistephium ellipticum are fully illustrated on the basis of Costa Rican materials with Lankester Composite Digital Plates (LCDP). The typification of Cleistes rosea is discussed and a color illustration is provided of C. costaricensis for comparison.
