Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this article, the behavior of an susceptible exposed infected recovered (SEIR) epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate and Holling type II treatment function is presented and analyzed. Reproduction number of the model is calculated. Equilibrium points are determined. Disease-free equilibrium exists when R0 is below 1. Behavior of disease-free equilibrium is examined at R0 = 1. Endemic equilibrium exists when R0 crosses 1. Stability of both equilibrium points is investigated locally and globally. Simulation is provided to support the result.
Learning with a purpose: a metals chemistry course centered on objects conservation
Authors: Hagerman Madeline , Alcántara-García Jocelyn 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Corrosion is the visible result of redox reactions on multiple substrates, “rust” being the known, although this term only applies to iron and iron alloy objects. Using corrosion as a relatable example to teach redox eases this concepts’ understanding because its results are visually identifiable; both in everyday objects like door hinges, and in cultural heritage objects like cannons. This article concerns the latter class of objects, as they have the potential to engage people interested in fields that seem unrelated to chemistry. The reality is the opposite, as cultural heritage professionals assess objects used in humanities disciplines like archeology and history through the lens of science. This article discusses how conservators approach corrosion on cultural heritage objects and provides experiments for any base-knowledge and age-level students to learn about the process of corrosion and electrochemistry.
Long-Term Strategies to Reduce Public Debt from a Historical Perspective
Authors: Mayer Thomas 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Public debt can be reduced in three ways: (1) repayment; (2) default; and (3) indirect default through monetary financing accompanied by debasement or followed by currency reform. In the course of history, repayment was more the exception than the rule, default often the only available way when a government had no control over the currency in which it borrowed, and indirect default more the rule than the exception. In this paper we review the three ways of debt reduction with exemplary references to historical events. We conclude that financial repression supplemented with debt repayment is likely to be the preferred way for public debt reduction today. The alternative would be currency reform.

Abstract
Environmental remediation of toxic organic pollutants on catalytic degradation has gained much attention. Organic dyes and fossil fuels as pollutants are the two major problems nowadays. The efficient and targeted eradication of organic dye from water systems is a critical global concern for the treatment of both drinking water and wastewater. In this study, ZnO–ZnS–CdO–CdS quaternary core–shell nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized using Ricinus communis as a stabilizing agent and hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent. UV-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence confirmed the formation of NCs. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of functional groups, while scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the morphology of nanomaterials was spherical and poly distributed. X-ray powder diffraction confirmed the crystalline nature of prepared samples. The prepared nanocatalysts were used in the production of hydrogen gas from green sources of the Brassica campestris leaf extract and the degradation of Congo red and methyl red dyes. Overall, the photocatalytic performance of NCs and their design was successful. The prepared catalysts were not only active in the degradation of a single substrate but also in the degradation of a mixture of dyes.

Abstract
Enzymatic interesterification (EIE) of beef tallow (BT) blended with soybean oil (SO), peanut oil (PO) and canola oil (CO) in different proportions were analyzed in terms of the fatty acid compositions, thermal properties (melting and crystallization behaviors), rheological properties, hardness, crystal, and microstructure to achieve their sufficient utilization. The content of saturated fatty acids in all interesterified oils (IOs) decreased gradually with the increase of plant oil content in base stock. The higher the proportion of plant oil in the base stock, the lower the enthalpy of IOs. All IOs were in the solid-like state, and the hardness of all IOs met the requirements of traditional plastic oil. All IOs were mainly in α and β′ crystal forms and can be used as basic stock for special oils.

Abstract
Study on calculation model and risk area of radionuclide diffusion in coastal waters under nuclear leakage accidents with different levels can help predict and evaluate consequences of radionuclide leakage accidents. Thus they play an important role in emergency response and accident mitigation. In the first step of the study, a climate hydrodynamic model in China coastal waters was established based on the climate data. In the next step, according to the real-time meteorological data, a hydrodynamic model in coastal waters of Haiyang nuclear power station was founded using the result of the climate hydrodynamic as a boundary. Then, according to the result of the hydrodynamic model in coastal waters of Haiyang nuclear power station, a radionuclide diffusion model in coastal waters of Haiyang nuclear power station was set up, in which the Euler method was adopted. With the radionuclide diffusion model, the total leaked radioactivity of radionuclides was set from 1018 Bq to 1012 Bq with a decrease of every two orders of magnitude. Thus, scenarios of radionuclide diffusion under assumed nuclear leakage accidents with different levels were calculated and their corresponding risk area were analyzed under the assumption that radionuclides leaked for consecutive five days. The results show that when the leaked radioactivity of radionuclides is 1018 Bq, the risk area on the seventh day is about 41 km east, 22 km south and 19 km west of the power station; on the fourteenth day, the risk area is about 65 km east, 22 km south and 25 km west of the power station. When the total leaked radioactivity of radionuclides declines by two orders of magnitude, the risk area will be reduced by about 10 km–20 km in the east direction accordingly. When it declines to 1014 Bq, the risk area decreases sharply to a small area. When it declines to 1012 Bq, the risk area is barely found. This model was verified from two aspects, namely the flow field and the radionuclide concentration. Hydrodynamic results can well describe the Yellow Sea cold water mass, Yellow Sea warm current and tidal current. Changes of radioactivity in different positions are fundamentally consistent with that in Fuikushima nuclear leakage accident. It indicates the hydrodynamic model and radionuclide diffusion model in the study are feasible and reliable.
Dual-mode hyperbolicity, supercanalization, and leakage in self-complementary metasurfaces
Authors: Martini Enrica , Giusti Federico , Benini Alice , Maci Stefano 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Anisotropic Self-Complementary Metasurfaces (SC-MTSs) are structures constituted by an alternation of complementary inductive and capacitive strips, which are “self-dual” according to Babinet’s duality principle. They support the propagation of two orthogonally polarized surface-wave modes with the same phase velocity along the principal directions (i.e., along the strips and normal to them). The isofrequency dispersion curves of these modes are hyperbolas, and therefore, these MTSs fall in the category of hyperbolic MTSs. It is shown here that the hyperbolic dispersion curves may degenerate in same cases into almost straight lines, which implies that the velocity of energy transport is constantly directed along the same direction for any possible phasing orthogonal to the strips. In this circumstance, the SC-MTS can be conveniently used to design dual-polarized leaky-wave antennas by modulating the impedances of the complementary strips.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The massive availability of biomass generated by the common giant reed (Arundo donax L.) motivates the search for its possible industrial use for the generation of high added-value products through implementing a biorefinery approach. The literature demonstrates the potential of common cane to obtain different high-value compounds, such as levulinic acid, oligosaccharides, fermentable sugars, highly digestible fiber for animal feed, polyphenols, and natural fibers for composite materials, among others. The data shows the upward trend in Europe toward the generation of new green industries, grouped under the biorefinery concept. Therefore, this review summarizes the current knowledge on the use of Arundo to produce materials, fibers, and chemicals. Major environmental concerns related to this plant are also reviewed. Special attention has been paid to the potential use of Arundo to produce chemicals using green chemistry approaches, as a way to contribute to and advance the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. Recommendations for future research are also outlined.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is released from axon terminals originating in the cerebral cortex onto striatal neurons. Here, we characterized BDNF neurons in the corticostriatal circuitry. First, we usedBDNF-Cre and Ribotag transgenic mouse lines to label BDNF-positive neurons in the cortex and detectedBDNFexpression in all the subregions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Next, we used a retrograde viral tracing strategy, in combination withBDNF-Cre knock-in mice, to map the cortical outputs of BDNF neurons in the dorsomedial and dorsolateral striatum (DMS and DLS, respectively). We found thatBDNF-expressing neurons located in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) project mainly to the DMS, and those located in the primary and secondary motor cortices (M1 and M2, respectively) and agranular insular cortex (AI) project mainly to the DLS. In contrast,BDNF-expressing orbitofrontal cortical (OFC) neurons differentially target the dorsal striatum (DS) depending on their mediolateral and rostrocaudal location. Specifically, the DMS is mainly innervated by the medial and ventral part of the orbitofrontal cortex (MO and VO, respectively), whereas the DLS receives projections specifically from the lateral part of the OFC (LO). Together, our study uncovers previously unknown BDNF corticostriatal circuitries. These findings could have important implications for the role of BDNF signaling in corticostriatal pathways.

AbstractIntestinal ischemia underlies several clinical conditions and can result in the loss of the intestinal mucosal barrier. Ischemia‐induced damage to the intestinal epithelium is repaired by stimulation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and paracrine signaling from the vascular niche regulates intestinal regeneration. Here, we identify FOXC1 and FOXC2 as essential regulators of paracrine signaling in intestinal regeneration after ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Vascular endothelial cell (EC)‐ and lymphatic EC (LEC)‐specific deletions of Foxc1, Foxc2, or both in mice worsen I/R‐induced intestinal damage by causing defects in vascular regrowth, expression of chemokine CXCL12 and Wnt activator R‐spondin 3 (RSPO3) in blood ECs (BECs) and LECs, respectively, and activation of Wnt signaling in ISCs. Both FOXC1 and FOXC2 directly bind to regulatory elements of the CXCL12 and RSPO3 loci in BECs and LECs, respectively. Treatment with CXCL12 and RSPO3 rescues the I/R‐induced intestinal damage in EC‐ and LEC‐Foxc mutant mice, respectively. This study provides evidence that FOXC1 and FOXC2 are required for intestinal regeneration by stimulating paracrine CXCL12 and Wnt signaling.

AbstractThis study aimed to identify microbial signatures that contribute to the shared etiologies between chronic heart failure (CHF), type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. The serum levels of 151 microbial metabolites were measured in 260 individuals from the Risk Evaluation and Management of heart failure cohort, and it was found that those metabolites varied by an order of 105 fold. Out of 96 metabolites associated with the three cardiometabolic diseases, most were validated in two geographically independent cohorts. In all three cohorts, 16 metabolites including imidazole propionate (ImP) consistently showed significant differences. Notably, baseline ImP levels were three times higher in the Chinese compared with the Swedish cohorts and increased by 1.1–1.6 fold with each additional CHF comorbidity in the Chinese population. Cellular experiments further supported a causal link between ImP and distinct CHF relevant phenotypes. Additionally, key microbial metabolite‐based risk scores were superior in CHF prognosis than the traditional Framingham or Get with the Guidelines‐Heart Failure risk scores. Interactive visualization of these specific metabolite‐disease links is available on our omics data server (https://omicsdata.org/Apps/REM‐HF/).

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Objectives
To assess the prevalence of arterial hypertension among Inuit adults living in Nunavik (northern Quebec, Canada) in 2017 and identify its sociodemographic and lifestyle determinants.

Methods
We used data obtained from 1177 Inuit adults aged ≥ 18 years who participated in the cross-sectional Qanuilirpitaa? Nunavik Inuit Health Survey during late summer-early fall of 2017. Resting blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric characteristics were measured during a clinical session, while sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle habits were documented using validated questionnaires. Information on current medication was retrieved from medical files. Sex-stratified population-weighted log-binomial regressions were conducted to identify determinants of hypertension, adjusting for potential confounders.

Results
Hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication) was present in 23% of the adult population and was more frequent in men than women (29% vs. 18%). About a third of hypertensive individuals (34%) were taking antihypertensive medication. These estimates are prone to biases due to the relatively low participation rate (37%). As expected, the prevalence of hypertension increased with age, but values were surprisingly elevated in 18 to 29-year-old men and women (18% and 8%, respectively) compared with 20 to 39-year-old adults of the general Canadian population (3% in both sexes, according to data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2012–2015). Hypertension was associated with obesity and alcohol consumption in both men and women, and with higher socioeconomic status among men.

Conclusion
This survey revealed a high prevalence of hypertension among young Nunavimmiut adults in 2017 and the need to improve hypertension diagnosis and treatment in the region. Curbing obesity and alcohol consumption, two actionable determinants of hypertension, will require improving food security and addressing the consequences of historical trauma linked to colonization.
Healthy lifestyle program for hypertensive adolescents with a Vitamin D deficiency
Authors: Ahmed Ali Howaida Moawad 
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to gauge the efficacy of a healthy lifestyle program on adolescents who are hypertensive as well as deficient in Vitamin D. It has been a known fact that Vitamin D deficiency from birth to early childhood is linked to a higher risk of elevated systolic blood pressure during childhood and adolescence.: This study employed a quasi-experimental research design which took a purposive sample of 300 hypertensive adolescents who were formally diagnosed as Vitamin D deficient and attended follow-up consultations in an out-patient paediatric clinic in Banha University Hospital in Benha City, Egypt.Several factors such as the respondents’ socio-economic data and family history of chronic disease were taken into consideration when the study was done. The subjects’ healthy lifestyle practices were also assessed both before and after they had been through the healthy lifestyle program. It also monitored the subjects’ blood pressure and their intake of vitamin D before, during and after the course of the program. The study’s subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire before and after the program to evaluate their knowledge regarding hypertension and vitamin D deficiency. An observation checklist was used before and after the program to evaluate the subjects’ practices when taking blood pressure measurements. The study showed that 72 percent of adolescents had a family history of hypertension. It also showed that female subjects exhibited a remarkable improvement in terms of their healthy lifestyle knowledge and practices after going through the healthy lifestyle program when compared to their male counterparts. The study showed a statistically significant relationship between the adolescents’ healthy lifestyle and their socio-demographic characteristics such as their gender being female aged between 14-18 years old with secondary education and having appropriate economic status and healthy house conditions.The study also showed that among the male adolescent subjects, 94 percent were physically active, 60 percent were aged between 11-14 years and 55.7 percent had non-appropriate economic status. : The study concluded that the healthy lifestyle program was effective in changing the healthy lifestyle knowledge and practices of the adolescent subjects which in turn enabled them to manage their hypertensive condition and overcome their vitamin D deficiency.
Sztuka i transcendencja w refleksji estetyczno-religijnej Karola Tarnowskiego
Authors: Krawiec Andrzej 
Published: May 2023

Na gruncie polskiej estetyki filozoficznej rozważania Karola Tarnowskiego o sztuce odzwierciedlają przemiany, jakie dokonały się w fenomenologii — zwłaszcza francuskiej — w drugiej połowie XX wieku. Myślenie religijne, uwzględniające tradycję scholastyczną oraz klasyczną doktrynę transcendentaliów, okazuje się w wielu aspektach pokrewne fenomenologii donacji Jeana-‑Luca Mariona oraz nieintencjonalnej fenomenologii niewidzialnego życia Michela Henry’ego, ale nie jest z nimi tożsame. Poglądy estetyczne Karola Tarnowskiego, wybitnego filozofa religii i pianisty, odnajdujemy w rozproszonych tekstach, których nie zawsze głównym tematem jest sztuka, dlatego celem niniejszego artykułu jest syntetyczne ujęcie tej szczególnej refleksji w kontekście współcześnie prowadzonych debat usytuowanych wokół fenomenologii.
