BackgroundCardiometabolic diseases are highly prevalent in Aotearoa New Zealand. Dietary intake is a modifiable risk factor for such diseases and certain dietary patterns, specifically the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), are associated with improved metabolic health. This study aims to test whether an intervention including a Mediterranean dietary pattern incorporating high quality New Zealand foods (NZMedDiet pattern) and behavior change science can improve the metabolic health of participants and their household/whānau.Methods and analysisThis is a multi-center, three-stage trial with two parallel group superiority randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and a longitudinal cohort study embedded within the trial design. The first RCT (RCT 1) is a comparison of the NZMedDiet pattern compared to usual diet for 12 weeks. The Behavior Change Wheel was used to select and implement strategies to support participant adherence to the NZMedDiet, such as web-based nutrition education on healthy shopping and cooking. The second (RCT 2) compares online social support to no online social support for 12 weeks, administered to participants immediately following RCT 1. The third stage is a longitudinal cohort study where all participants are followed from the beginning of their start of the active intervention for 12 months in total. The primary outcome measure for each stage is the metabolic syndrome severity score (MetSSS). The duration of enrolment is 12–15 months. The total recruitment target is 200 index participants and their household/whānau members who participate with them, and the primary analyses will be intention to treat on index participants.DiscussionThe trial will test whether the NZMedDiet pattern and behavior change support improves the cardiometabolic health of people in Aotearoa New Zealand.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.anzctr.org.au/Default.aspx, identifier ACTRN12622000906752 and https://www.isrctn.com/, identifier ISRCTN89011056 (Spirit 2).
Learning-based intelligent trajectory planning for auto navigation of magnetic robots

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Electromagnetically controlled small-scale robots show great potential in precise diagnosis, targeted delivery, and minimally invasive surgery. The automatic navigation of such robots could reduce human intervention, as well as the risk and difficulty of surgery. However, it is challenging to build a precise kinematics model for automatic robotic control because the controlling process is affected by various delays and complex environments.Method: Here, we propose a learning-based intelligent trajectory planning strategy for automatic navigation of magnetic robots without kinematics modeling. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network is employed to establish a global mapping relationship between the current sequence in the electromagnetic actuation system and the trajectory coordinates.Result: We manually control the robot to move on a curved path 50 times to form the training database to train the LSTM network. The trained LSTM network is validated to output the current sequence for automatically controlling the magnetic robot to move on the same curved path and the tortuous and branched new paths in simulated vascular tracks.Discussion: The proposed trajectory planning strategy is expected to impact the clinical applications of robots.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionIn tandem with economic growth and enhanced individual income levels, the demand for superior food quality has seen a significant uptick, leading to increased consumer interest in organic food products. However, studies focused on organic food consumption reveal a strikingly low conversion rate of this interest into actual purchasing behavior, particularly in the context of China. It is, therefore, crucial to implement effective strategies to bridge this gap, thereby fostering the growth of China's organic food sector.MethodsThis research introduces the theory of perceived values and innovation resistance into the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theoretical model, exploring the interrelationships among various facets of food safety concerns, perceived values, perceived risks, and organic purchasing behavior. Furthermore, the moderating influence of trust in these relationships is taken into account. Employing structural equation modeling, data from 352 organic food consumers in China's premier cities were analyzed.Results and discussionFindings substantiated the significant interplay between perceived values and risks with food safety concerns. It was also observed that perceived values had a positive and significant impact on purchasing behavior, while perceived risks exerted a negative and significant influence. Importantly, the relationship between nutritional value and risk barrier with purchase behavior was found to be moderated by the level of trust. This study may help organic food producers, retailers, and policymakers bridge the consumers' intention-behavior gap.

IntroductionArticular cartilage injuries are a severe problem, and the treatments for these injuries are complex. The present study investigates a treatment for full-thickness cartilage defects called Autologous Chondral Platelet Rich Plasma Matrix Implantation (PACI) in a sheep model.MethodsChondral defects 8 mm in diameter were surgically induced in the medial femoral condyles of both stifles in eight healthy sheep. Right stifles were treated with PACI and an intraarticular injection with a plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) solution [treatment group (TRT)], while an intraarticular injection of Ringer’s lactate solution was administered in left stifles [Control group (CT)]. The limbs’ function was objectively assessed with a force platform to obtain the symmetry index, comparing both groups. After 9 and 18 months, the lesions were macroscopically evaluated using the International Cartilage Repair Society and Goebel scales.ResultsRegarding the symmetry index, the TRT group obtained results similar to those of healthy limbs at 9 and 18 months after treatment. Regarding the macroscopic assessment, the values obtained by the TRT group were very close to those of normal cartilage and superior to those obtained by the CT group at 9 months.ConclusionThis new bioregenerative treatment modality can regenerate hyaline articular cartilage. High functional outcomes have been reported, together with a good quality repair tissue in sheep. Therefore, PACI treatment might be a good therapeutic option for full-thickness chondral lesions.
Exploring Sound Emission of the Lizard Pristidactylus valeriae
Authors: Díaz Sebastián , Labra Antonieta 
Published: December 2023

Lizards, except geckos, are generally considered voiceless organisms, although some species emit oral sounds. For most of these “vocal lizards”, however, there is almost no information on the characteristics of the sounds, precluding exploration of the functionality and evolution of the sounds. Pristidactylus are known as “grunter lizards” since individuals emit oral sounds under predation risk. We explored the characteristics of the sounds emitted by P. valeriae, recording 17 adults and 1 juvenile when they were threatened and captured by a predator. Only adults emitted sounds with open mouths and displayed aggressive postures, e.g., biting attempts. These sounds correspond to hisses, which lack amplitude or frequency modulation. The lizards emitted longer hisses when threatened than when captured by the predator, which may provide honest information on individuals’ ability to escape. In addition, males may experience higher distress during threats since their hisses had higher aggregate entropy than those of the females. Finally, hissing has been documented in four of the five Leiosauridae genera, the family to which Pristidactylus belongs, suggesting that sound emission is ancestral to the family.

Published: December 2023

Colletotrichum, a genus within the phylum Ascomycota (Fungi) and family Glomerellaceae are important plant pathogens globally. In this paper, we detail four Colletotrichum species found in mangrove ecosystems. Two new species, Colletotrichum rhizophorae and C. thailandica, and a new host record for Colletotrichum fructicola were identified in Thailand. Colletotrichum tropicale was collected from Taiwan’s mangroves and is a new record for Rhizophora mucronata. These identifications were established through a combination of molecular analysis and morphological characteristics. This expanded dataset for Colletotrichum enhances our understanding of the genetic diversity within this genus and its associations with mangrove ecosystems. The findings outlined herein provide data on our exploration of mangrove pathogens in Asia.
Light and Ethephon Overcoming Seed Dormancy in Friar’s Crown (Melocactus zehntneri, Cactaceae), a Brazilian Cactus
Authors: Magnani Mariana Freitas Campos , Cardoso Jean Carlos 
Published: December 2023

Seed germination in Melocactus and other cactus species is hampered by dormancy. However, most studies failed to achieve high seed-germination rates, suggesting a complex mechanism of dormancy in Cactaceae. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate whether factors such as light and phytoregulators overcome the dormancy in the seeds of the friar’s crown cactus (Melocactus zehntneri). Two consecutive experimental sets were designed: one with seed germination under filter paper conditions and different wavelengths and Photosynthetically Photon Flux Densities (PPFDs); and one in vitro experiment using a culture medium to evaluate the influence of different phytoregulators, such as gibberellic acid (GA3), benzylaminopurine (BAP) and ethephon (ET), both in the germination of seeds of M. zehntneri. Seeds of M. zehntneri are positive photoblastic. Red light and gradual increases in PPFD resulted in the highest germination rates (60.8–61.7%) and germination speed index (4.4–4.5). In vitro seeding in culture media increased the germination percentage to 76% in control without phytoregulators. Ethephon showed a major effect in releasing the germination of dormant seeds of M. zehntneri, totaling 98% of seeds germinated under in vitro conditions, while GA3 and BAP showed minor or no effect on germination. The present study resulted in an efficient in vitro technique for germination and a better understanding of cacti seed dormancy.

Published: December 2023

Tendo em vista a essencialidade do uso de equipamentos de proteção individual para a saúde do produtor rural e a falta de informações acerca desse assunto, este trabalho tem como objetivo capacitar estudantes sobre a importância do uso de equipamentos de proteção individual, bem como seu correto uso, e capacitar os participantes sobre a correta destinação de embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos no Planalto Norte Catarinense. O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido nos municípios de Canoinhas, Três Barras e Bela Vista do Toldo, localizadas no Planalto Norte Catarinense. Verificou-se que apesar da maioria dos participantes conhecerem a importância da utilização de equipamentos de proteção individual, e os riscos do manuseio e aplicação de agrotóxicos sem EPI, é comum que presenciem a não utilização do EPI ou a utilização incompleta do EPI, causando um grande risco ao aplicador.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.35700/ca.2020.ano7n12.p35-41.2570
Dip-dry deposition of semiconducting aluminum oxide-hydroxide thin films
Authors: Ichimura Masaya , Baixian Cheng , Li Tong 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Aluminum oxide-hydroxide thin films are fabricated by a simple chemical process, dip-dry deposition. The substrate is dipped in the solution and then dried on a heater plate. The dip-dry cycles are repeated to obtain necessary thickness. The deposition solution contains Al2(SO4)3 and NH4OH. To control resistivity of the films, Mg is doped by immersing the samples in a Mg(NO3)2 solution. The resistivity is reduced by the doping, and is about 104 Ωcm in the thickness direction. Thus the deposited films would be useful for interface layers in heterostructures and coating of electrodes in electrochemical systems.

Методологія. Під час дослідження застосовувалися різні методи, серед них: фізичний – для дослідження фізичних ознак матеріалу, математичний – для розрахунків за отриманими даними, загальнологічні, зокрема синтезу та аналізу, статистичний, в межах яких виявлено форми взаємодії елементів цілого, а також узагальнення. Наукова новизна. Обґрунтовано доцільність використання оригінального програмного продукту розрахунку густини плоских тіл за прямими вимірюваннями товщини та маси об’єктів дослідження й обрахування значень площі за цифровими зображеннями контуру поверхні зі складною конфігурацією периметра. В основі програми лежать методи розпізнавання границь цифрових зображень і вимірювання мас тіл способом зважування. Як програмне середовище використовувалася платформа програмування та числових обчислень MATLAB із пакетом прикладних програм Image Processing Toolbox. Здобуті результати. Схарактеризовано основні ідеї та принципи, що становлять підґрунтя роботи програми, визначено завдання, як-то: створення зручної системи введення та збереження даних дослідження; автоматизація розпізнавання границь цифрового зображення досліджуваного об’єкта; автоматизація очищення області дослідження на цифровому зображенні від дрібного забруднення; обрахування площі цифрового зображення досліджуваного об’єкта; розрахунок густини досліджуваних об’єктів на базі введених даних, зважаючи на похибку вимірювання тощо. Рекомендовано правила підготовки зразків дослідження для подальшого створення цифрових зображень для подальшого їх оброблення в програмі (отримання зображення об’єкта дослідження з еталонним зразком в одному масштабі; попереднє очищення цифрового зображення від сильного забруднення). Роботу програми унаочнено на прикладі дослідження густини фрагмента паперу. Визначено точність вимірювання, межі використання, недоліки та шляхи подальшого вдосконалення запропонованої програми. Окреслено напрями подальших досліджень – удосконалення клієнтської частини програми, передбачивши можливість дослідження цифрових зображень об’єктів та еталона без їх попереднього розділення, а також автоматичний розрахунок щільності у розмірності г/м2 (GSM) для безпосереднього порівняння зі значеннями щільності, заявленими виробником офісного паперу
