Published: May 2023

Abstract
This study focuses on the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability in GCC countries. Financial inclusion is measured using three dimensions: banking penetration, access to banking services, and use of banking services. Poverty ratio below the national poverty line and the Gini coefficient are used as indicators of poverty and income inequality, while financial stability is measured by Bank Z-Score and bank nonperforming loans.The findings of the hypothesis test indicate that all dimensions of financial inclusion have a significant impact on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability. However, the partial impact of financial inclusion on these factors in six GCC countries has not been fully optimized. Therefore, the study suggests that governments should consider the results and develop strategies to increase financial inclusion, in order to achieve sustainable development and enhance the welfare of their citizens.

Abstract
Background
Mechanical ventilation(MV) is essential in the management of critically ill neonates, especially preterm infants. However, inappropriate or prolonged use of invasive MV may result in ventilator-associated lung injury. A systemic review comparing PLV with VTV approved that VTV reduces the incidence of death or BPD in neonates, however, this study did not analyze subgroups of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the use of VTV and PCV in VLBW infants and to provide clinical evidence for reducing mortality and complications of MV in VLBW infants.
Method
A single-center randomized controlled trial will be performed. All eligible infants will be randomized and assigned to either VTV or PCV group with 1:1 ratio using sealed envelopes. Death or BPD at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age will be used as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes including BPD, death, length of invasive MV, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and oxygen use, length of hospital stay, failure of conventional MV, rate of using HFOV as rescue therapy, rate of reintubation within 48 hours and hospital expenses and so on.

Abstract
The diversity of Orchidaceae plants and their complex adaptations to pollinators have made Orchidaceae a hot topic in the study of plant evolution and function. However, our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the diverse floral morphologies of Orchidaceae plants remains limited.To address this gap in knowledge, our study presents an integration of protein network predictions and comparative analysis of four different orchid species (Apostasia odorata, Phalaenopsis equestris, Erycina pusilla, Dendrobium officinale) with widely varying floral organ structures. Our research findings suggest that the formation of the orchid labellum is linked to the presence or absence of AP3-3 and SEP4genes, and specific interaction patterns involving these genes in each of the four species may be key to regulating the mechanisms that drive differences in floral morphology.Our analysis indicates that the number and type of interacting proteins of the floral symmetry regulator DIVARICATA may play a role in the morphological formation of radial and bilateral symmetry in orchids. Furthermore, both MADS-box and MYB are involved in regulating pollen development. Additionally, we found that the MADS-box, MYB, and GRAS families of genes may regulate flower organ morphology by influencing hormone signaling pathways during flower organ development.To further explore these findings, we utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 technique to knock out the SYD gene, and agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana was used to examine the effects. The results showed an increase in petal opening and mating degree, along with changes in the overlapping stamen distribution.

Abstract
Neuromorphic computing aims to emulate the computing processes of the brain by replicating the functions of biological neural networks using electronic counterparts. One promising approach is dendritic computing, which takes inspiration from the multi-dendritic branch structure of neurons to enhance the processing capability of artificial neural networks. While there has been a recent surge of interest in implementing dendritic computing using emerging devices, achieving artificial dendrites with throughputs and energy efficiency comparable to those of the human brain has proven challenging. In this study, we report on the development of a compact and low-power neurotransistor based on a vertical dual-gate electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) with short-term memory characteristics, a 30 nm channel length, a record-low read power of ~3.16 fW and a biology-comparable read energy of ~30 fJ. Leveraging this neurotransistor, we demonstrate dendrite integration as well as digital and analog dendritic computing for coincidence detection. We also showcase the potential of neurotransistors in realizing advanced brain-like functions by developing a hardware neural network and demonstrating bio-inspired sound localization. Our results suggest that the neurotransistor-based approach may pave the way for next-generation neuromorphic computing with energy efficiency on par with those of the brain.

Abstract
Due to the relatively brief history of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) domestication, our understanding of the genomic diversity and functional genes associated with sugar beet cultivars is limited, resulting in slow breeding progress. To address this issue, a total of 306 germplasm materials of major cultivars or major breeding lines from China, USA and Europe were selected for genome resequencing. We investigated the population structure, genetic diversity, and performed selective scanning of regions to identify genes six novel genes associated with important agronomic traits. This study identified candidate genes DFAX2 and P5CS associated with skin roughness, candidate genes FRO5, GL24 and PPR91 associated with root yield and sugar yield, and pleiotropic gene POLX associated with flourishing growth vigour, plant height, crown size, flesh coarseness and sugar yield at the same time were identified. In addition, we constructed a gene PPI network map and a phenotype-gene network map, which provide valuable information for identifying and characterizing functional genes affecting agronomic traits in sugar beet. Overall, our study can shed light on the future improvement of sugar beet agronomic traits at the molecular level.

Abstract
One of the major obstacles to malaria elimination is the decreased susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum to most antimalarial drugs. This study was focused on the prevalence of molecular markers linked to P. falciparum resistance to antimalarial drugs at different sites in Côte d'Ivoire. Samples were collected from 2013 to 2016 from asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects in Abengourou, Abidjan, Grand Bassam, and San Pedro. A total of 704 participants were enrolled. All samples were analyzed for pfk13 gene, while 344 samples were examined for pfmdr1. Overall, the success rate of molecular tests was 98.8% (340/344), 99.1% (341/344), and 94.3% (664/704) for pfmdr1 N86Y, pfmdr1 Y184F, and pfk13 genes respectively. Molecular analysis revealed twenty (5.9%; 20/340) and 219 (64.2%; 219/341) mutant alleles for pfmdr1 86Y and pfmdr1 184F, respectively. Twenty-nine cases of mutations in pfk13 gene (4.4%; 29/664) with 2.7% (18/664) of non-synonymous mutations was found. None of the mutations previously described in South East Asia (SEA) involved in P. falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives were reported in this study. According to year of collection, a decrease of the prevalence of pfk13 mutation (from 3.6–1.8%) and pfmdr1 N86Y mutation (from 8.5–4.5%) was noticed while an increase of mutant allele of pfmdr1 Y184F proportion (from 39.8–66.4%) was found. Comparing to previous studies in the country, an increase in lumefantrine tolerance of P. falciparum strains were noticed. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of establishing a strong system for molecular surveillance of malaria in Côte d’Ivoire.

Abstract
Circular farming, as a sustainable agricultural system, contributes to the reuse of waste and optimizes the recovery of nutrients (C, N, P). By circular farming we refer to farming activities that focus on using minimal amounts of external inputs, closing nutrient loops, and minimizing environmental impacts. Here we employed open-ended choice experiments (OECEs) to analyze consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) and demand for food products obtained from circular farming with a questionnaire involving 5,591 participants from 6 EU countries. We chose three product categories: pork, milk, and bread. We found that a market niche existed for the food products produced from circular farming, with consumers exhibiting a willingness to pay a premium for circular products compared to conventional products. Spanish consumers displayed the highest WTP premium (> 26%), whereas Hungarian consumers exhibited the lowest in all categories. Socio-demographic characteristics, environmental attitudes, and price levels influenced the quantity of circular products consumers are willing to purchase.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The study aimed at finding consequences of lockdown due to Covid-19 on mental health and daily routine lifestyle among general population in India. Online survey was distributed through different platforms of social media and email to 100 known contacts in March-May 2020. The self-administered questionnaire was developed after reviewing standardised psychological instruments for assessing mental health conditions. The paper discussed the impact of lockdown on mental health of population, including factors like stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, strategies for coping stressful situations indicating optimism and pessimism. Stepwise Multiple Regression was applied to analyse the scores. The perception of people about lockdown and its impact on their daily lives was also discussed. Based on 90 responses, positively, lockdown provided quality time to spent together with families and negatively it influenced the daily routine and outings. Results also suggest that during lockdown, respondents have been under stressful situations especially financial burden to pay mandatory expenses like house rent, medicines costs and other domestic expenditures, and job insecurity. Relationship between different variables and mental health indicators were known. Stress and anxiety were negatively influenced by educational level, implying that higher the education, lower the stress and anxiety traits. Those higher in educational level were optimistic and tried to find purposes in tough times during lockdown. Relationship between marital status and mood swing was also observed in the study.

Abstract
Obesity in adolescents show high prevalence specially in developing countries. Although birth order and sib size have been mathematically coupled and in spite of their respective effect on both overweight and obesity, they have not been estimated before separately. Moreover, the educational achievement of parents might have impact on their children’s nutritional status. Objective This study aims to assess how birth order and number of siblings affect adolescent obesity risk and to examine the impact of parent’s education on adolescent obesity, the results will indicate which family members may be prioritized for inclusion in adolescent obesity prevention programs. Methodology A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on individuals aged 10 to 18 years old, including sex, age, birth weight, birth order, number of siblings, lifestyle, and parents' educational level by a self-administered questionnaire completed by an adult member of the family, while measurements of subjects’ height and weight were done in the clinic of nutrition and immunity. The CDC's BMI cut-off points were used to classify the subjects as normal (5–84th percentile) and obese (≥ 95th percentile). Results Distribution of the number of siblings was different in both groups as regards BMI but statistically insignificant, we found no statistically significant difference on correlating birth order and number of siblings. Conclusion Adolescent’s BMI were driven by neither the sibling was (younger or older) nor number of their siblings. There was no significant association between parental education and the development of obesity.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Pulmonary ultrasonography may be useful for early diagnosis and management of respiratory complications. The combination of air and soft tissues confirms imaging artifacts that may contribute to differentiation of healthy lung tissue from deteriorated lung tissue. Although non-human primates are often chosen as research models due to similarity to humans, there is a scarcity of data on the use of pulmonary ultrasound on these individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultrasound examinations of the thoracic region of Callithrix sp in diagnosing pneumopathy. Parameters were obtained from 84 Callithix sp of both sexes, aged 1.6 to 15 years and weighing 222 to 684 grams, which were caught within the Mucky Project, in Itu, São Paulo. Thoracic ultrasound examinations were conducted using the LOGIQe-R7 (GE, USA), with a 12 MHz linear transducer, at four points of both antimeres. 18 individuals presented some type of pulmonary alteration. Two of the animals with pulmonary alterations died and then underwent necropsy. Histopathological analysis showed that their lung tissue was compatible with the presence of suppurative bacterial bronchopneumonia. In the light of these cases, pulmonary consolidations diagnosed through thoracic ultrasound examination can be correlated with occurrence of pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND
The predictive value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) metabolic parameters for predicting AIP relapse is currently unknown. This study firstly explored the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters as predictors of type 1 AIP relapse.
METHODS
This multicenter retrospective cohort study analyzed 51 patients who received 18F-FDG PET/CT prior to treatment and did not receive maintenance therapy after remission. The study collected baseline characteristics and clinical data and conducted qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of pancreatic lesions and extra-pancreatic organs. The study used three thresholds to select the boundaries of pancreatic lesions to evaluate metabolic parameters, including the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), mean standard uptake value (SUVmean), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and tumor-to-normal liver standard uptake value ratio (SUVR). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent predictors and build a recurrence prediction model. The model was internally validated using the bootstrap method and a nomogram was created for clinical application.
RESULTS
In the univariable analysis, the relapse group showed higher levels of SUVmax (6.0±1.6 vs. 5.2±1.1; P=0.047), SUVR (2.3 [2.0-3.0] vs. 2.0 [1.6-2.4]; P=0.026), and TLG2.5 (234.5±149.1 vs. 139.6±102.5; P=0.020) among the 18F-FDG PET metabolic parameters compared to the non-relapse group. In the multivariable analysis, serum IgG4 (OR, 1.001; 95% CI, 1.000-1.002; P=0.014) and TLG2.5 (OR, 1.007; 95% CI, 1.002-1.013; P=0.012) were independent predictors associated with relapse of type 1 AIP. A receiver-operating characteristic curve of the predictive model with these two predictors demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.806.
CONCLUSION 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters, particularly TLG2.5, are potential predictors for relapse in patients with type 1 AIP. A multiparameter model that includes IgG4 and TLG2.5 can enhance the ability to predict AIP relapse.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

A facile method which combines the advantages of carbon quantum dots and molecular imprinting technology to design a fluorescence molecular imprinting sensor for the high sensitivity and selective detection of chloramphenicol. The fluorescent molecule imprinted polymers are synthesized by sol-gel polymerization using carbon quantum dots as functional monomers and fluorescent sources, TEOS as crosslinkers, breaking with the traditional understanding of an additional functional monomer. Under optimal experimental, as the concentration of chloramphenicol increases, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence molecule imprinting sensor gradually decreases. The concentration of chloramphenicol is linear in the range of 5–100 µg/L and the detection limit is 1 µg/L. The sensor is able to detect chloramphenicol in milk, enabling the application of real samples. The results show that this work provides an easy method to preparing fluorescent molecular imprinting sensors for the detection of chloramphenicol in milk.
