Background: The indiscriminate use of insecticides in agriculture and public health lead to a selection of resistance mechanisms in malaria vectors compromising vector control tools and strategies. This study investigated the metabolic response in the Vgsc-L995F Anopheles gambiae Tiassalé resistance strain after long-term exposure of larvae and adults to deltamethrin insecticide. Methods: Vgsc-L995F An. gambiae Tiassalé strain larvae were exposed over 20 generations to deltamethrin (LS) and adults to PermaNet 2.0 (AS) and combining exposure at larvae and adult stages (LAS) and compared to unexposed (NS) group. All four groups were subjected to the standard World Health Organization (WHO) susceptibility tube tests using deltamethrin (0.05%), bendiocarb (0.1%) and malathion (5%). Vgsc-L995F/S knockdown-resistance (kdr) mutation frequency was screened using multiplex assays based on Taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Additionally, expression levels of detoxification enzymes associated to pyrethroid resistance, including CYP4G16, CYP6M2, CYP6P1, CYP6P3, CYP6P4, CYP6Z1 and CYP9K1, and glutathione S-transferase GSTe2 were measured. Results: Our results indicated that deltamethrin resistance was a response to insecticide selection pressure in LS, AS and LAS groups, while susceptibility was observed in NS group. The vectors showed varied mortality rates with bendiocarb and full susceptibility to malathion throughout the selection with LS, AS and LAS groups. Vgsc-L995F mutation stayed at high allelic frequency level in all groups with a frequency between 87% and 100%. Among the overexpressed genes, CYP6P4 gene was the most overexpressed in LS, AS and LAS groups. Conclusion: Long-term exposure of larvae and adults of Vgsc-L995F resistant-An. gambiae Tiassalé strain to deltamethrin and PermaNet 2.0 net induced resistance to deltamethrin under a significant effect of cytochromes P450 detoxification enzymes. These outcomes highlight the necessity of investigating metabolic resistance mechanisms in the target population and not solely kdr resistance mechanisms prior the implementation of vector control strategies for a better impact.
Covid-19 Vaccines As a Condition of Employment: Impact on Uptake, Staffing, and Mortality in Elderly Care Homes
Authors: Girma Sourafel , Paton David 
Published: June 2023

Laws mandating vaccination against Covid-19 as a condition of employment in health and care sectors were commonplace during the pandemic. Using weekly data at the local authority level, we examine the impact of the vaccine mandate for elderly care homes in England on vaccine take-up, staffing levels, and mortality. Our identification strategy involves (1) comparing take-up and staffing in English elderly care homes relative to other social care settings unaffected by the mandate; (2) comparing take-up and staffing in English elderly care homes relative to those in Wales where the mandate also did not apply; and (3) comparing Covid-19 mortality among English elderly care home residents relative to mortality in domestic homes in England and to care homes in Wales. Our results suggest that the mandate substantially decreased the proportion of care home workers who remained unvaccinated (equivalent to between 28,000 and 41,000 fewer unvaccinated staff), but this came at the cost of a reduction in staffing levels of between 3% and 4% (equivalent to 14,000 to 18,000 staff). We observe this effect most strongly in areas of low unemployment. Our results do not provide evidence that the vaccine mandate was successful in its primary aim of reducing care home deaths. Relatively wide confidence intervals mean inferences regarding mortality are more uncertain than for vaccination uptake and staffing. This paper was accepted by Carri W. Chan, healthcare management.

Published: June 2023

A literatura mostra que as organizações não relatam as tensões de sustentabilidade de forma explícita em seus relatórios. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as tensões de sustentabilidade reportadas nos relatórios das empresas do setor de papel e celulose no Brasil para constatar se essas comunicam ou não suas experiências, classificando-as de acordo com sua tipologia: aprendizado, desempenho, pertencimento ou organização. Foram analisados relatórios de sustentabilidade (RS) sob perspectiva qualitativa das empresas do setor que constam na lista B3: Suzano SA, Klabin SA e Melhor SP. A análise compreendeu o período de 2019 a 2021. Os resultados mostram que apenas um relatório apresentou uma tensão de sustentabilidade de forma explícita. O que pode tanto reforçar o argumento das tensões como más notícias, quanto apontar uma nova tendência no relato. Além disso, as quatro tipologias de tensões foram identificadas em todos os relatórios.
Temperature and emissivity measurement algorithm using a moving emissivity retardation spectral window method based on Lagrange mean value theorem
Authors: Luan Yifei , Wang Xiang , He Zhiping , Mao Zhiyuan , Yang Qiujie 
Published: June 2023

The multi-spectral radiation method is a non-contact technique that can measure the temperature and emissivity of an object. However, its core problem lies in solving the underdetermined equation system. Existing numerical emissivity methods require prior knowledge of emissivity, while emissivity function methods need accurate initial conditions. These approaches are not suitable for measuring unknown targets’ temperature and emissivity. This paper proposes a moving emissivity retardation spectral window method that does not require any prior knowledge or initial conditions. The proposed method defines the emissivity retardation interval based on the Lagrange mean value theorem to provide universal and high-precision constraint conditions for solving the aforementioned underdetermined equation system. Simulation experiments were conducted on four target models with different emissivity, which showed that, compared to the moving narrowband window method, this new, to the best of our knowldge, approach reduced average temperature calculation errors by 31.0% and average emissivity calculation errors by 30.7%. In blackbody experiments, the calculated temperature error is about 0.4 K, and the emissivity is about 0.993–0.999. The described method is expected to meet the practical measurement needs for a wide range of substances.
Characteristics of textured polishing wheels for dry fixed abrasive polishing fused silica
Authors: Chen Chaoxu , Yang Wei , Zhu Fanwei 
Published: June 2023

The dry fixed abrasive process integrates chemical reaction and ductile removal into one process and shows advantages against the conventional loose abrasive polishing in efficiency, geometric controllability, and waste disposal. However, it is worth noting that the wear and cutting temperatures encountered during the dry fixed abrasive process are areas that require further improvement. This manuscript develops textured polished wheels (TPWs) with three surface textures (spiral, linear, and radial) on the sintered polishing wheel. The influence of the TPWs on material removal depth and surface roughness for fused silica during the polishing process is investigated. The results indicate that the TPWs have the comparable material removal depth of the non-grooved polishing wheel while slightly increasing the surface roughness. However, it not only alleviates wheel wear but also improves the thermodynamics of airflow and chip removal in the polishing wheel and thus prevents surface wheel burning. Through experimental research, the TPW with a spiral-shape demonstrates the best performance with a material removal rate of 4.2657 µm/h and a surface roughness of approximately 3.0 nm.
Comparative efficacy and acceptability of non-pharmacological interventions for depression among people living with HIV: A protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Authors: Zhao Ting , Tang Chulei , Yan Huang , Wang Honghong , Guo Meiying 
Published: June 2023

BackgroundImproving depression is critical to the success of HIV treatment. Concerns about the adverse effects of pharmacotherapy have led to non-pharmacological treatments for depression in people living with HIV (PLWH) becoming increasingly popular. However, the most effective and acceptable non-pharmacological treatments for depression in PLWH have not yet been determined. This protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare and rank all available non-pharmacological treatments for depression in PLWH in the global network of countries as well as in the network of low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) only.MethodsWe will include all randomized controlled trials of any non-pharmacological treatments for depression in PLWH. The primary outcomes will consider efficacy (the overall mean change scores in depression) and acceptability (all-cause discontinuation). Published and unpublished studies will be systematically searched through the relevant databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsycINFO, CINAHL, ProQuest, and OpenGrey), international trial registers, and websites. There is no restriction by language and publication year. All study selection, quality evaluation, and data extraction will be independently conducted by at least two investigators. We will perform a random-effects network meta-analysis to synthesize all available evidence for each outcome and obtain a comprehensive ranking of all treatments for the global network of countries as well as for the network of LMICs only. We will employ validated global and local approaches to evaluate inconsistency. We will use OpenBUGS (version 3.2.3) software to fit our model within a Bayesian framework. We will evaluate the strength of evidence using the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) tool, a web application based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system.Ethics and disseminationThis study will use secondary data and therefore does not require ethical approval. The results of this study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication.Trial registrationPROSPERO registration number:CRD42021244230.
Impact of the COVID-19 vaccination mandate on the primary care workforce and differences between rural and urban settings to inform future policy decision-making

Published: June 2023

Introduction
Little is known about the impact of mandated vaccination policies on the primary care clinic workforce in the United States or differences between rural and urban settings, especially for COVID-19. With the continued pandemic and an anticipated increase in novel disease outbreaks and emerging vaccines, healthcare systems need additional information on how vaccine mandates impact the healthcare workforce to aid in future decision-making.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of Oregon primary care clinic staff between October 28, 2021– November 18, 2021, following implementation of a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for healthcare personnel. The survey consisted of 19 questions that assessed the clinic-level impacts of the vaccination mandate. Outcomes included job loss among staff, receipt of an approved vaccination waiver, new vaccination among staff, and the perceived significance of the policy on clinic staffing. We used univariable descriptive statistics to compare outcomes between rural and urban clinics. The survey also included three open-ended questions that were analyzed using a template analysis approach.

Results
Staff from 80 clinics across 28 counties completed surveys, representing 38 rural and 42 urban clinics. Clinics reported job loss (46%), use of vaccination waivers (51%), and newly vaccinated staff (60%). Significantly more rural clinics (compared to urban) utilized medical and/or religious vaccination waivers (71% vs 33%, p = 0.04) and reported significant impact on clinic staffing (45% vs 21%, p = 0.048). There was also a non-significant trend toward more job loss for rural compared to urban clinics (53% vs. 41%, p = 0.547). Qualitative analysis highlighted a decline in clinic morale, small but meaningful detriments to patient care, and mixed opinions of the vaccination mandate.

Conclusions
Oregon’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate increased healthcare personnel vaccination rates, yet amplified staffing challenges with disproportionate impacts in rural areas. Staffing impacts in primary care clinics were greater than reported previously in hospital settings and with other vaccination mandates. Mitigating primary care staffing impacts, particularly in rural areas, will be critical in response to the continued pandemic and novel viruses in the future.
Containment of COVID-19 outbreaks with lower incidence and case fatality rates in long-term care facilities by early intervention of emergency response teams
Authors: Akahoshi Kouki , Nakamura Keiko , Kondo Hisayoshi , Wakai Akinori , Koido Yuichi 
Published: June 2023

Objective
To examine whether post-outbreak early-phase interventions by emergency response teams (ERTs) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) contribute to containment with lower incidence and case-fatality rate of COVID-19 and analyse the required assistance.

Methods
Records from 59 LTCFs (28 hospitals, 15 nursing homes, and 16 homes) assisted by ERTs after the COVID-19 outbreak, between May 2020 and January 2021, were used for the analysis. Incidence and case-fatality rates among 6,432 residents and 8,586 care workers were calculated. The daily reports of ERTs were reviewed, and content analysis was performed.

Results
Incidence rates among residents and care workers with early phase (<7 days from onset) interventions (30·3%, 10·8%) were lower than those with late phase (≥7 days from onset) interventions (36·6%, 12·6%) (p<0·001, p = 0·011, respectively). The case-fatality rate among residents with early-phase and late-phase interventions were 14·8% and 16·9%, respectively. ERT assistance in LTCFs was not limited to infection control but extended to command and coordination assistance in all studied facilities.

Conclusion
Assistance in the facility’s operational governance from the early phase of an outbreak in LTCFs contributed to a significant decline in incidence rate and case fatality rate among LTCF residents and care workers in facilities.

Dissemination of the quarantine weeds of the genus Ambrosia in the steppe zone of Ukraine
Authors: GAVRILYUK Yuliya , AKSYONOV Igor , MATSAY Nataliya , BESEDA Aleksandr , AKSYONOVA Ilona 
Published: June 2023

The article presents the results of many years of research for the period 2003-2020, which were aimed at studying the dissemination and expansion of plant groups of quarantine species of Ambrosia weeds in the eastern steppe of Ukraine. It has been established that the intensive dissemination of the species of the quarantine ragweed weed occurs both naturally and anthropically. Monitoring of the dissemination and growth of ragweed species is noted in all types of phytocenoses of the steppe. The increase in the areas of dissemination of aggressive species of ragweed weeds poses a widespread threat to all plant populations. Studies show a tendency to increase the number of ragweed plants in such plant groups as agrophytocenoses, phytocenoses of planted forests, phytocenoses of urban areas, meadows and pastures. For the period 2011-2002 the number of ragweed plants increased in meadows by 7.5 times, in pastures by 14.8 times, in agrophytocenoses by 2.95 times, in phytocenoses of urban areas by 1.68 times, in phytocenoses of planted forests by 1.28 times. Due to the lack of control over the dissemination and appropriate eradication measures, the largest increase in the number of ragweed plants over the past 10 years has been observed in meadows and pastures. It is recommended in phytocenoses of planted forests and urban areas in meadows and pastures, total mowing of ragweed plants before their flowering 5-7 times during the growing season in order to prevent replenishment of the seed stock of this weed in the soil during the growing season.
Spuren der chinesischen Literatur und Perspektive der Weltliteratur in Goethes

Helena-Akt in

Faust II
Authors: Yuan Si 
Published: June 2023

Zusammenfassung
Goethe hat 1827 in seiner Überarbeitung des Originalmanuskripts vom Helena-Akt in Faust II das Leben, das Schicksal und die Persönlichkeit von Helena erweitert und ihr Würde und Menschlichkeit verliehen. Inzwischen befasste sich Goethe mit der Lektüre der klassischen chinesischen Literatur, was zur Schaffung von seinem Werk Chinesisches führte. Goethe stattete die klassischen Schönheiten mit einem vergleichbaren Schicksal und ähnlichen ästhetischen Eigenschaften aus wie die Helena. In seiner Rekonstruktion von Helena und den chinesischen klassischen Schönheiten schwächte Goethe deren nationale literarische Identität und betont die Universalität der Menschheit. Die Tatsache, dass der Helena-Akt schließlich zu einer ästhetischen Tragödie wird, die die allgemeine menschliche Situation widerspiegelt, ist im Wesentlichen auf die Perspektive der Weltliteratur zurückzuführen, die Goethe in seinen späteren Jahren im Zuge der Aufarbeitung des klassischen Ideals entwickelte.
Properties of ultra-high performance concrete and conventional concrete with coal bottom ash as aggregate replacement and nanoadditives: A review
Authors: Ban Cheah Chee , Kang Saw Yoong , Siddique Rafat , Tangchirapat Weerachart 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a new type of concrete with improved features such as high strength, long service life, ductility, and toughness. UHPC’s energy-intensive cement and quartz sand may make it unsustainable despite its engineering expertise. Thus, a UHPC that is energy efficient and environmentally benign should use less energy-intensive components and industrial wastes. This review consolidates and critically reviews the latest global research on coal bottom ash (CBA) as a fine aggregate replacement material and nano-calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) as concrete additives. Based on the critical evaluation, replacing aggregate with CBA up to 60% improves strength by 23%. Since high-quality natural sand is depleting and CBA output is increasing due to coal power plants, the concrete industry can use CBA as an aggregate. However, CBA as an aggregate substitute in UHPC has been scarcely reported. Besides, nanomaterial technologies like nano-C–S–H have also been proven to increase traditional concrete’s strength by 33%. But, their impact on UHPC has yet to be fully explored. Thus, to develop UHPC with a lower carbon footprint and comparable or better performance to market-available UHPC, further research on CBA as aggregate replacement in UHPC with nano-C–S–H as an additive on mechanical durability and microstructure is needed.
A helyi termékekkel kapcsolatos fogyasztói elvárások összehasonlító vizsgálata
Authors: T. Nagy-Pető Dorka , Szakály Zoltán , Kiss Virág Ágnes 
Published: June 2023

A tanulmány célja
Napjainkban a helyi gazdaságok támogatását célzó kampányok és az etnocentrikus gondolkodás erősödése figyelhető meg világszinten, amit a pandémia csak továbberősített. A rövid ellátási láncok és a helyi termékek a fenntartható fogyasztás szempontjából is felértékelődtek, és a közbeszédben is egyre nagyobb hangsúlyt kapnak. Kutatásaink keretében arra kerestük a választ, hogy mit tekintenek a magyar vásárlók helyi terméknek és származását tekintve, milyen elvárásaik vannak ezekkel szemben.
Alkalmazott módszertan
Az alapkutatást 2019-ben végeztük (N=500), majd megismételtük 2021-ben (N=1000) mindkét esetben egy-egy reprezentatív, országos mintán. A minták mindkét alkalommal nemre, korra, településtípusra és régióra nézve reprezentatívak voltak. A mintavétel során az egyes régiókban és a kijelölt településeken az ún. véletlen séta (random walking) elvét alkalmaztuk, amely teljes véletlenszerűséget biztosít a megfelelő válaszadók kiválasztásához. A felkeresett háztartásban lakó személyek közül az ún. születésnapi kulcs alkalmazásával választottuk ki az interjúra megfelelő személyt.
Legfontosabb eredmények
Az összehasonlítás alapján kijelenthető, hogy 2021-ben a megkérdezettek nagyobb elvárásokat támasztanak a helyi termékekkel szemben, mint 2019-ben. Ez minden szempontra igaz, de közülük is kiemelkedik a kis földrajzi távolság, a helyi munkaerő foglalkoztatása és a hagyományos termelési eljárás. A fogyasztók 2021-ben elfogadóbbak a saját és a szomszéd településről, illetve a megyéből és a régióból származó helyi termékekkel szemben, mint 2019-ben. Ennek alapján a származási távolságot is rugalmasabban kezelik, vagyis jobban elfogadják a nagyobb földrajzi távolságot.
Gyakorlati/gazdaságpolitikai javaslatokat
A leírtak alapján kijelenthető, hogy a megkérdezettek tágabban értelmezik a helyi termékek fogalmát, azokat már kevésbé csak egyetlen településre vonatkoztatják. A leírtak azt jelentik, hogy a termelők nagyobb távolságból származó termékeket is „címkézhetnek” helyinek, a döntéshozóknak pedig érdemes átgondolni a jelenlegi származási távolság kritériumát.
