Authors: Haider Shahbaz , Shakir Aleem 
Published: July 2023

Effective reading skills are essential prerequisites for L2 reading proficiency which demand different metacognitive and cognitive skills to deal with the problems before and during the reading. These reading strategies adopted by L2 proficient readers are effective methods to handle the primary factors that influence reading proficiency. Therefore, the current research provided a comprehensive review of factors affecting the acquisition of second-language reading skills. The review consisted of thirty-two research articles related to L2 reading acquisition. The results demonstrated primary factors which impacted the L2 reading skills and a wide range of reading techniques adopted by proficient English language learners to construct meanings from the written text. Finally, it is likely to expect that the review of factors affecting reading skills can provide English language teachers and English language learners with in-depth insights into social and cognitive factors affecting L2 reading literacy.

Authors: Muhammad Fadhli Nasution  , Simson Ginting  
Published: July 2023

The problems found in this study are communication between agencies that are still not running well, limited resources to supervise tourism business licenses in Medan City, overlapping authority between agencies, resulting in each agency waiting for each other to misuse tourism business licenses and the discovery of indications of abuse of authority in the implementation of tourism business license supervision in Medan City. This type of research is descriptive research using qualitative methods. The data collected is in the form of words, images, and not numbers. The sampling technique to explore information that will be the basis of this study is the purposive sampling technique. To perform validation of found information using data triangulation. The results showed that the coordination between the Investment Office and One-Stop Integrated Services and the Medan City Tourism Office was no longer in the process before the issuance of permits but after the issuance of permits. Unification of actions taken by the Investment Office and One-Stop Integrated Services and the Medan City Tourism Office has been carried out, namely the enforcement of strict sanctions against karaoke business owners who violate the rules in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures, then communication is carried out by exchanging information related to karaoke tourism business licenses in Medan City and communication is carried out if there is a karaoke business license that does not match between the Business Identification Number (NIB) and Business carried out in the field. The distribution of tasks carried out in coordination with karaoke business licensing has run optimally. Supervision and enforcement related to tourism business licenses, especially karaoke, are in accordance with established rules, but there are still some karaoke places that are still operating even though they have received a reprimand or revocation of their business licenses.
Masculinidades hegemónicas y emergentes, repercusiones en la pareja: satisfacción sexual y calidad de vida

Published: July 2023

Las masculinidades hegemónicas promulgan la subordinación de la mujer en relación al hombre, mientras que las emergentes presentan subjetividades donde tensionan diferentes modelos. El objetivo del estudio se basa en analizar las repercusiones de las masculinidades hegemónicas en la satisfacción sexual y calidad de vida, versus las masculinidades emergentes con iguales categorías, a través de una revisión sistemática. Para ello se aplicó el método PRISMA, hallándose once registros que ponen de manifiesto la repercusión sexual de la masculinidad hegemónica en la virginidad de la mujer, el sexo por paga y el método femenino de prevención del VIH; mientras que las repercusiones en la calidad de vida, corresponden al autoestima, salud mental, suicidio, enfermedades, actividad física y conflicto de rol. Por otro lado, las masculinidades emergentes traen Este estudio encontró que las masculinidades hegemónicas tienen un impacto negativo en la satisfacción sexual, particularmente asociadas a ideas prejuiciadas en áreas como la virginidad femenina, el trabajo sexual y los métodos femeninos de prevención del VIH. Además, las masculinidades hegemónicas tienen un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida, incluida la autoestima, la salud mental, la actividad física y el conflicto de roles. Las masculinidades emergentes tienen que enfrentarse a los atávicos criterios de las generaciones antecesoras que los discriminan por ser “hombres igualitarios” lo que afecta a su calidad de vida; en referencia al ámbito sexual, este criterio igualitario considera el placer mutuo como una necesidad de la vida en pareja, lo que revierte en mayor estabilidad y funcionalidad en las relaciones. Es importante destacar que, con respecto a la investigación pertinente de las masculinidades emergentes, los artículos originales desarrollados según los parámetros de búsqueda son parcialmente escasos siendo una temática poco explorada.

IntroductionThis study explored the differences in clinical characteristics between the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) and SARS-CoV-2 BA.2 variant (Omicron) infections in patients younger than age 65 years, to improve identification of these diseases and better respond to the current epidemic.MethodsData from 127 patients with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) diagnosed between May and July of 2009 and 3,265 patients with Omicron diagnosed between March and May of 2022 were collected. Using a 1:2 match based on age (difference &lt;2 years), sex, and underlying diseases, data from 115 patients with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection (H1N1 group) and 230 patients with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 infection (Omicron group) were analyzed. The clinical manifestations were compared between the groups, logistic regression was performed to identify possible independent risk factors for each group, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors predicting time for nucleic acid negativization (NAN).ResultsThe median [interquartile range] age of the two groups was 21 [11, 26] years. Compared with the H1N1 group, the Omicron group had: lower white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein levels; less fever, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, sputum, and headache; and more olfactory loss, muscle soreness, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) abnormalities. Patients in the Omicron group used fewer antibiotics and antiviral drugs, and the time for NAN was longer (17 [14,20] VS 4 [3,5] days, P&lt;0.001). Logistic regression showed that fever, cough, headache, and increased white blood cell count were more strongly correlated with the H1N1 group, while muscle soreness and LDH abnormalities were more strongly correlated with the Omicron group. Fever (B 1.529, 95% confidence interval [0.149,2.909], P=0.030) significantly predicted a longer time for NAN in patients with Omicron.DiscussionThere are significant differences in clinical characteristics between SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection and the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection. Recognition of these differences has important implications for clinical practice.

Published: July 2023

Heavy metals in landfill leachate are easily adsorbed by soil particles, causing serious threats to human health and surrounding environments. Mining and metallurgy activities are intensive in Northwest China, thereby enlarging threats. The aim of the present study is to enhance our knowledge about the linkage between the microstructural evolution of the loess soil induced by lead contamination and the macro air and liquid permeability properties. A series of air and liquid permeability tests on the uncontaminated and Pb-contaminated loess specimens were conducted. Their air and liquid permeability properties were evaluated on the basis of Darcy’s law and the soil–water retention curves, respectively. The microstructural evolution, when subjected to low and high Pb2+ concentrations, was assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and zeta potential tests. The intrusion of Pb2+ decreases the absolute zeta potential ζ, which in turn leads to a more distinct agglomerated structure and higher intrinsic permeability. Moreover, the dedolomitization and associated cerussite (PbCO3) precipitation are deemed as the main cause of micropore clogging, whereas the corrosion of the cement between soil particles by H+ shows a good correspondence to an increase in the number of mesopores. With the concentration of Pb2+ increasing from 0 to 2,000 mg/kg, the proportion of micropores decreases from 37.9% to 15.1%, and the proportion of mesopores increases from 17.3% to 53.3%. In addition, the air entry value decreased from 19.5 to 12.8 kPa, indicating that the water retention behavior decreased. The findings highlight the impacts of lead contamination on the microstructure and macro permeability properties and give some design guideposts to heavy metal-contaminated site remediation.

BackgroundSperm quality, including semen volume, sperm count, concentration, and total and progressive motility (collectively, “semen parameters”), has declined in the recent decades. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) provides sperm kinematic parameters, and the temporal trends of which remain unclear. Our objective is to examine the temporal trend of both semen parameters and kinematic parameters in Shanghai, China, in the recent years.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed semen parameters and kinematic parameters of 49,819 men attending our reproductive center by using CASA during 2015–2021. The total sample was divided into two groups: samples that surpassed the WHO guideline (2010) low reference limits (“above reference limit” group, ARL; n = 24,575) and samples that did not (“below reference limit” group, BRL; n = 24,614). One-way analysis of variance, Kruskal–Wallis test, independent samples t-test, and covariance analysis were used to assess the differences among groups. Year, age, and abstinence time were included in the multiple linear regression model of the ARL group to adjust the confounders and depict the trends in sperm quality.ResultsAmong all the total sample and the ARL and BRL groups, the age of subjects increased in recent years. Semen volume and sperm count showed declined tendency with years in the total sample, the ARL and BRL groups, and the subgroup of age or abstinence time, whereas sperm velocities showed increased tendency with years on the contrary. The multiple linear regression model of the ARL group, adjusting for age and abstinence time, confirmed these trends. Semen volume (β1= −0.162; CI: −0.172, −0.152), sperm count (β1= −9.97; CI: −10.813, −9.128), sperm concentration (β1 = −0.535; CI: −0.772, −0.299), motility (β1 = −1.751; CI: −1.830, −1.672), and progressive motility (β1 = −1.12; CI: −0.201, −0.145) decreased with year, whereas curvilinear line velocity (VCL) (β1 = 3.058; CI: 2.912, 3.203), straight line velocity (VSL) (β1 = 2.075; CI: 1.990, 2.161), and average path velocity (VAP) (β1 = 2.305; CI: 2.224, 2.386) increased over time (all p &lt; 0.001). In addition, VCL, VSL, and VAP significantly declined with age and abstinence time.ConclusionThe semen parameters declined, whereas the kinematic parameters increased over the recent years. We propose that, although sperm count and motility declined over time, sperm motion velocity increased, suggesting a possible compensatory mechanism of male fertility.

BackgroundEstrogen Receptor α (ERα) is a significant modulator of energy balance and lipid/glucose metabolisms. Beyond the classical nuclear actions of the receptor, rapid activation of intracellular signaling pathways is mediated by a sub-fraction of ERα localized to the plasma membrane, known as Membrane Initiated Steroid Signaling (MISS). However, whether membrane ERα is involved in the protective metabolic actions of endogenous estrogens in conditions of nutritional challenge, and thus contributes to sex differences in the susceptibility to metabolic diseases, remains to be clarified.MethodsMale and female C451A-ERα mice, harboring a point mutation which results in the abolition of membrane localization and MISS-related effects of the receptor, and their wild-type littermates (WT-ERα) were maintained on a normal chow diet (NCD) or fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Body weight gain, body composition and glucose tolerance were monitored. Insulin sensitivity and energy balance regulation were further investigated in HFD-fed female mice.ResultsC451A-ERα genotype had no influence on body weight gain, adipose tissue accumulation and glucose tolerance in NCD-fed mice of both sexes followed up to 7 months of age, nor male mice fed a HFD for 12 weeks. In contrast, compared to WT-ERα littermates, HFD-fed C451A-ERα female mice exhibited: 1) accelerated fat mass accumulation, liver steatosis and impaired glucose tolerance; 2) whole-body insulin resistance, assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, and altered insulin-induced signaling in skeletal muscle and liver; 3) significant decrease in energy expenditure associated with histological and functional abnormalities of brown adipose tissue and a defect in thermogenesis regulation in response to cold exposure.ConclusionBesides the well-characterized role of ERα nuclear actions, membrane-initiated ERα extra-nuclear signaling contributes to female, but not to male, protection against HFD-induced obesity and associated metabolic disorders in mouse.

IntroductionTorque teno virus (TTV) replication is controlled by immune status, mirroring a degree of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation. TTV viraemia (TTVv) was associated with acute cellular rejection and infection within the first year after liver transplantation (LT). Long-term data on TTV after LT and correlation with graft injury from protocol biopsies are limited. MethodsOne hundred plasma samples paired with graft biopsies from a prospective single-center biorepository were analyzed.ResultsThe median time post-LT was 23 months (range, 2–298). TTVv was detectable in 97%. TTVv decreased over time after LT and showed a significant decline from year 1 to later time points. Hence, TTVv correlated negatively with histologic liver fibrosis (liver allograft fibrosis and Ishak scores) and positively with the overall immunosuppression degree quantified by an immunosuppression score in the first year after LT. There was no association with dosages or trough levels of single immunosuppressants. The pharmacodynamic marker TTVv did not correlate with pharmacokinetic assessments of immunosuppression degree [calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) trough levels or immunosuppressant dosages]—our clinical gold standards to guide immunosuppressive therapy. TTVv was independently associated with histologically proven liver fibrosis after LT in the first year after LT in multivariate analysisDiscussionThe independent association of histological graft fibrosis with lower TTVv in year 1 underscores that a pharmacodynamic marker would be preferable to individualize immunosuppression after LT. However, a high variability of TTVv at the low immunosuppression doses given after the first year precludes TTV as a clinically useful marker after LT in the long-term liver transplant recipients.

BackgroundThe gut microbiome is closely related to gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, but the causality of gut microbiome with GI cancer has yet to be fully established. We conducted this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to reveal the potential causal effect of gut microbiota on GI cancer.Materials and methodsSummary-level genetic data of gut microbiome were derived from the MiBioGen consortium and the Dutch Microbiome Project. Summary statistics of six GI cancers were drawn from United Kingdom Biobank. Inverse-variance-weighted (IVW), MR-robust adjusted profile score (MR-RAPS), and weighted-median (WM) methods were used to evaluate the potential causal link between gut microbiota and GI cancer. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses and reverse MR analyses.ResultsWe identified potential causal associations between 21 bacterial taxa and GI cancers (values of p &lt; 0.05 in all three MR methods). Among them, phylum Verrucomicrobia (OR: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.05–0.59, p = 0.005) retained a strong negative association with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after the Bonferroni correction, whereas order Bacillales (OR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.23–2.26, p = 0.001) retained a strong positive association with pancreatic cancer. Reverse MR analyses indicated that GI cancer was associated with 17 microbial taxa in all three MR methods, among them, a strong inverse association between colorectal cancer and family Clostridiaceae1 (OR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.86–0.96, p = 0.001) was identified by Bonferroni correction.ConclusionOur study implicates the potential causal effects of specific microbial taxa on GI cancer, potentially providing new insights into the prevention and treatment of GI cancer through specific gut bacteria.
