AbstractFish is readily available to fishing communities. Given the high nutritional value of fish, these communities are expected to have better nutritional status, compared to non-fishing communities. However, this assumption is not well studied across coastal fishing communities in Ghana. Hence, this cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the nutritional status, dietary patterns, and fish consumption of children living in coastal fishing communities in Ghana. Nutritional status of 384 randomly selected children was assessed using the mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurement. MUAC less than 12.5 cm was used as the cutoff to identify malnourished children. Food and fish consumption patterns were assessed using an adopted and pretested food frequency questionnaire. The findings showed a prevalence of 0.5% wasting among surveyed children. The mean dietary diversity score (DDS) of the study participants was 4.3 ± 1.2. The mean DDS of the children of fisher mothers was less than that of the children of the female caregivers who are involved in other occupations. However, no significant difference was observed in the DDS across the coastal regions. Seventy eight percent of the children who participated in the study consumed an adequately diversified diet, and more than 40 different small fish species were consumed across the four coastal regions. The average median weekly fish intake among the children in the study sample was 213 (64–468) g. Considering that one-third of the employed respondents were fisherfolk, coupled with the availability of a great diversity of small fish in the communities, the findings of our study suggest that there is great potential to incorporate small fish into strategic interventions aimed at improving nutrition, food security, and achieving economic sustainability in these communities.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBlood flow-restricted exercise is currently used as a low-intensity time-efficient approach to reap many of the benefits of typical high-intensity training. Evidence continues to lend support to the notion that even highly trained individuals, such as athletes, still benefit from this mode of training. Both resistance and endurance exercise may be combined with blood flow restriction to provide a spectrum of adaptations in skeletal muscle, spanning from myofibrillar to mitochondrial adjustments. Such diverse adaptations would benefit both muscular strength and endurance qualities concurrently, which are demanded in athletic performance, most notably in team sports. Moreover, recent work indicates that when traditional high-load resistance training is supplemented with low-load, blood flow-restricted exercise, either in the same session or as a separate training block in a periodised programme, a synergistic and complementary effect on training adaptations may occur. Transient reductions in mechanical loading of tissues afforded by low-load, blood flow-restricted exercise may also serve a purpose during de-loading, tapering or rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injury. This narrative review aims to expand on the current scientific and practical understanding of how blood flow restriction methods may be applied by coaches and practitioners to enhance current athletic development models.
Sensory Systems for Sugar-Induced Cephalic Phase Insulin Release
Authors: Yoshida Ryusuke 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review aims to discuss and summarize the peripheral sensory mechanisms involved in the induction of the early phase of insulin release, known as cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR), triggered by stimuli related to food, particularly sugars.

Recent Findings
At least, two distinct systems on the tongue are responsible for detecting oral sugars. The first system involves the G-protein-coupled receptor Tas1r2/Tas1r3, which can detect not only sugars but also artificial sweeteners and sweet proteins. The second system relies on glucose transporters, specifically recognize and transport monosaccharides. The Tas1r2/Tas1r3 receptor utilizes a signal transduction pathway involving gustducin, phospholipase β2, and transient receptor potential channel M5 to depolarize taste cells. On the other hand, glucose transporters facilitate the transport of monosaccharides into cells, where their degradation produces ATP. This ATP inhibits the metabolic sensor KATP channel, ultimately leading to cell depolarization. Recent studies in mice have demonstrated that glucose transporters and KATP channels, rather than the Tas1r2/Tas1r3 receptor, are essential for the induction of CPIR.

Summary
The detection of sugars in the oral cavity relies on two essential mechanisms: the Tas1r2/Tas1r3 receptor and glucose transporters. Notably, oral glucose transporters are likely to play a significant role in the induction of sugar-induced CPIR. As a result, these two sugar detection systems may have distinct roles in maintaining energy homeostasis within the body.

Published: August 2023

AbstractPromoting cooperation in the network has always been a focus of evolutionary game dynamics research. In this paper, a three-strategy local decision model is designed to promote cooperative behavior between agents. The hide right is introduced to accurately describe the agents which tend to choose conservative strategy to achieve stable payoffs. Agents only consider their own and non-defective neighbors’ payoffs information to make their decisions for next move. According to the adaptive dynamics, the equilibrium states under different conditions have been studied. It is found that the introduction of hide strategy helps to reduce the occurrence of defection. The conclusion of this paper will provide a reference for the cooperation promotion mechanism of selfish agents that are closer to the actual situation.
Three-way decision based on ITARA and public weights DEA under picture fuzzy environment and its application in new energy vehicles selection
Authors: Wu Meiqin , Song Jiawen , Fan Jianping 
Published: August 2023

AbstractPetroleum is the main power of automobiles, yet the environmental pollution it brings has caused globally. The promotion of new energy vehicles (NEVs) is effective. Even though the governments have introduced various supports for the popularization of NEVs, many enterprises and individuals continue to drive gas vehicles as they are poorly informed about them and cannot choose the right products. This paper proposes a categorization and ranking model of NEVs over three-way decisions (TWD) to tackle the problem. Picture fuzzy sets serve as a valid tool to describe uncertainty and fuzziness information. At first, the attribute weights are ascertained with the indifference threshold-based attribute ratio analysis (ITARA) method improved by the picture fuzzy distance. Then, the public weight picture fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) which is enhanced by the picture fuzzy aggregation operator is employed for the conditional probability of decision units. Third, updated picture fuzzy TWD is utilized for the categorization and ranking. Fourth, the enterprise NEVs selection case is tested for the model. Later, comparative analysis with the classical methods illustrates that the proposed method yields accurate and reliable decisions. Finally, the robustness of the model is demonstrated by sensitivity analysis.

AbstractGene therapy offers potentially transformative strategies for major human diseases. However, one of the key challenges in gene therapy is developing an effective strategy that could deliver genes into the specific tissue. Here, we report a novel virus-like nanoparticle, the bioorthgonal engineered virus-like recombinant biosome (reBiosome), for efficient gene therapies of cancer and inflammatory diseases. The mutant virus-like biosome (mBiosome) is first prepared by site-specific codon mutation for displaying 4-azido-L-phenylalanine on vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein of eBiosome at a rational site, and the reBiosome is then prepared by clicking weak acid-responsive hydrophilic polymer onto the mBiosome via bioorthogonal chemistry. The results show that the reBiosome exhibits reduced virus-like immunogenicity, prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced gene delivery efficiency to weakly acidic foci (like tumor and arthritic tissue). Furthermore, reBiosome demonstrates robust therapeutic efficacy in breast cancer and arthritis by delivering gene editing and silencing systems, respectively. In conclusion, this study develops a universal, safe and efficient platform for gene therapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases.

AbstractResearch has established associations between poor mental health and lifestyle risk behaviors among adolescents, yet gaps exist in understanding whether digital health interventions for adolescents targeting these behaviors will improve mental health and wellbeing. This study aimed to evaluate how effective digital health interventions targeting lifestyle risk behaviors are in improving mental health/wellbeing among adolescents (10–24 years old). We also aimed to understand how effects vary by participant and intervention characteristics, and intervention adherence and engagement. Through systematic review with meta-analysis, 5229 records were identified. 17 studies were included representing 9070 participants (15.3 mean age, 1.2 SD). Interventions had small but statistically non-significant positive effects on physical and psychosocial quality of life, depressive symptoms and anxiety at follow-up compared to usual care controls. Digital health delivery methods included text messaging, mobile applications, websites and email, or a combination of these. Intervention adherence, engagement and satisfaction were measured poorly across studies. Despite small changes, potential exists for digital health interventions to improve mental health or wellbeing outcomes among adolescents due to the shared nature of risk and protective factors for mental health and chronic diseases.
Citizen Science in the Study of Marine Biodiversity: The case of Iconic and Cryptic Syngnathids
Authors: Castejón-Silvo Inés , Terrados Jorge , Morales-Nin Beatriz 
Published: August 2023

AbstractCitizen science invites the public to participate in both scientific thinking and data collection. Citizen science adds new collaborators whose contributions help to gather or analyse data on a large scale particularly relevant for emerging questions about the distribution and abundance of organisms across space and time. Syngnathids are cryptic fishes that inhabits temperate and tropical sheltered, coastal marine waters. Pipefishes and seahorses are threatened by habitat loss and degradation. Unfortunately, data on biological and ecological aspects and population trends are rarely available in most species. More than half of the thirteen-syngnathid species inhabiting Spanish coasts are considered Data Deficient for population evaluation. Citizen science is an opportunity to improve data availability for the study of syngnathid population tendencies and monitoring. This contribution describes and discusses the approach followed by Sea Watchers citizen science platform. We analysed and discussed the data provided by the observers, and the distribution data of species based on citizen science surveillance. Citizen science achieved the expansion of spatial and temporal dataset of syngnathid distribution. However, the obtained information is affected by observers’ behaviour and suggest that the observers performed focussed surveys to find individuals of these slow motion iconic fishes, introducing biases in the data.

AbstractIn complex hard rock terrain where the population suffers from water scarcity, the use of site-specific single-method surface geophysical surveys to prospect for groundwater is a common practise. However, this has not completely solved the problem of drilling dry wells. To combat this failure, geospatial data and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) are being used as supporting techniques to increase the chance of success. This study had the aim of generating a groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) map of the complex strato-volcanic terrain of Buea by integrating geospatial techniques, AHP, and the seismoelectric method. Five factors influencing groundwater recharge were used to define the groundwater potential zones. Via the AHP and weighted overlay methods, five classes of groundwater potential zones were delineated: very poor, poor, moderate, good, and very good. More than half of the study area has good to very good groundwater potential. Lastly, the GWPZ model is validated with an iso-conductivity map from a seismoelectric survey and existing static water level data. The iso-conductivity map revealed four main conductivity zones that correlate positively with the GWPZ map. The northwestern part of the study area is characterised by moderate groundwater potential, poor formation conductivity, and dry boreholes. There is an uneven distribution of groundwater and variable water table depth in the area. The results of this study are very encouraging, and the integrated approach used has proven to be efficient in determining groundwater potential zones in complex volcanic terrain.
Keypoint Changes for Fast Human Activity Recognition

Published: August 2023

AbstractHuman activity recognition has been an open problem in computer vision for almost 2 decades. During this time, there have been many approaches proposed to solve this problem, but very few have managed to solve it in a way that is sufficiently computationally efficient for real-time applications. Recently, this has changed, with keypoint-based methods demonstrating a high degree of accuracy with low computational cost. These approaches take a given image and return a set of joint locations for each individual within an image. In order to achieve real-time performance, a sparse representation of these features over a given time frame is required for classification. Previous methods have achieved this using a reduced number of keypoints, but this approach gives a less robust representation of the individual’s body pose and may limit the types of activity that can be detected. We present a novel method for reducing the size of the feature set, by calculating the Euclidian distance and the direction of keypoint changes across a number of frames. This allows for a meaningful representation of the individuals movements over time. We show that this method achieves accuracy on par with current state-of-the-art methods, while demonstrating real-time performance.
To what extent can institutional control explain the dominance of analytic philosophy?
Authors: Katzav Joel 
Published: August 2023

AbstractKatzav and Vaesen have argued that control by analytic philosophers of key journals, philosophy departments and at least one funding body plays a substantial role in explaining the emergence of analytic philosophy into dominance in the Anglophone world and the corresponding decline of speculative philosophy. They also argued that this use of control suggests a characterisation of analytic philosophy as, at the institutional level, a sectarian form of critical philosophy. I test these hypotheses against data about philosophy job hires at key philosophy departments in the USA during the period 1930–1979 and against data about PhD completions during the period 1956–1965. I argue, further, that Katzav and Vaesen’s hypotheses can fully explain the data and are more fully able to do so than some other key accounts of the emergence of analytic philosophy in the USA.
Geological and glacial-hydrologic controls on chemical weathering in the subglacial environment
Authors: Graly Joseph A. , Rezvanbehbahani Soroush 
Published: August 2023

AbstractA comparison of major ion chemistry of subglacial boreholes and discharging subglacial waters reveals three fundamentally different glacier hydrochemical regimes. Subglacial waters from alpine glaciers have chemistry distinct from the subglacial waters of Greenland or Antarctica. Greenland and Antarctica also differ fundamentally from each other, with Greenland Ice Sheet waters, at least during the summer melt season, remaining dilute and unaffected by saturation reactions and Antarctic Ice Sheet waters controlled by a range of saturation states. Some Antarctic waters form concentrated brines, capable of depressing the freezing point by >10°C. While these waters have only been directly sampled where they rarely emerge, geophysical observations from Devon Ice Cap and Greenland show liquid water at the glacier bed in locations where ice is thin and slowly moving and a cold bed is otherwise expected. This raises the possibility that lithogenic subglacial brines could be widespread and that our existing subglacial hydrochemical measurements might be biased by seasonal sampling of freely discharging water. The potential for diverse ranges of subglacial environments under ice sheets suggests the need for new and ambitious sampling programs to characterize difficult to access subglacial waters and quantify their impact on glacier dynamics, geobiology and global geochemical cycling.
Amundsen Sea Embayment ice-sheet mass-loss predictions to 2050 calibrated using observations of velocity and elevation change

Published: August 2023

AbstractMass loss from the Amundsen Sea Embayment of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a major contributor to global sea-level rise (SLR) and has been increasing over recent decades. Predictions of future SLR are increasingly modelled using ensembles of simulations within which model parameters and external forcings are varied within credible ranges. Accurately reporting the uncertainty associated with these predictions is crucial in enabling effective planning for, and construction of defences against, rising sea levels. Calibrating model simulations against current observations of ice-sheet behaviour enables the uncertainty to be reduced. Here we calibrate an ensemble of BISICLES ice-sheet model simulations of ice loss from the Amundsen Sea Embayment using remotely sensed observations of surface elevation and ice speed. Each calibration type is shown to be capable of reducing the 90% credibility bounds of predicted contributions to SLR by 34 and 43% respectively.
Ocean wave blocking by periodic surface rolls fortifies Arctic ice shelves
Authors: Nekrasov Peter , MacAyeal Douglas R. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe Ward Hunt and Milne ice shelves are the present-day remnants of a much larger ice shelf that once fringed the coast of Ellesmere Island, Canada. These ice shelves possess a unique surface morphology consisting of wave-like rolls that run parallel to the shoreline. Setting aside the question of how these rolls originally developed, we consider the impact of this roll morphology on the stability of the ice shelf. In particular, we examine whether periodic variations in ice-shelf thickness and water depth implied by the rolls prevent the excitation of Lamb waves in the ice shelf. Using a hierarchy of numerical models, we find that there are band gaps in the flexural and extensional modes of the ice shelf, implying the existence of frequency ranges that lack wave motion. We show that an ice shelf with rolls is able to reflect waves in these frequency ranges that are incident upon its ice front, thereby mitigating undue stress and calving. We speculate that the roll morphology provides a “fitness” for survival that explains why rolls are observed in the oldest and thickest multiyear sea ice of the Arctic.
Quantity and quality of physical activity during adolescence: Evidence from a mixed-method study in rural Telangana, India

AbstractAdolescence is a unique transitional stage of physical and psychological development. As preferences and behavioural choices adopted in adolescence influence lifelong physical activity habits and health outcomes in adulthood, rural transformation in low- and middle-income countries has the potential to significantly change traditional roles and shape the next generation. By using a mixed-method approach that integrates energy expenditure estimates from accelerometer devices with 24-hour recall time-use data from adolescent boys and girls and qualitative interviews with adolescents and their caregivers, this study sheds light on the patterns of quantity and quality of physical activity of 395 adolescents in Khammam and Mahbubnagar districts of rural Telangana, India. The study shows that energy expenditure and time use are highest for educational-related activities followed by leisure in both adolescent boys and girls. However, notwithstanding the process of rural transformation and the educational infrastructure and economic opportunities provided to adolescent boys and girls, social and cultural norms allow boys, especially in late adolescence to spend more time and energy in activities outside the home such as pursuing economic work, sports and socialising, while girls spend more time and energy at home doing domestic work. The quantitative and qualitative exploration of physical activity and time use among adolescents, as expounded in this study cutting across age groups and gender, highlights the need for changes in gendered norms and renewed government strategies and investments in that direction.
