Published: June 2023

Abstract
As the population grows, so does the need for travel. With rising demand, public transportation providers are finding it difficult to meet the demand. As a result, alternative transportation services such as office transport are becoming widespread in Sri Lanka. This study aims to determine the service quality of office transport services based on user perceptions and expectations of the service. Recently there is only one study carried out in Sri Lanka focusing on office transport services. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data on passenger perceptions and expectations. This questionnaire survey is done within Colombo District, Sri Lanka to assess the Office transport services. Respondents were asked to rate certain qualitative characteristics of the office transport service based on their perceptions and minimum expectations of the service. In this study, Factor analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to analyse the data collected through questionnaire survey. It was identified that there are three primary factors affecting the service quality of office transport services which are vehicle, safety and timely performance. Using the final SEM model, it was identified that vehicle is the most affected factor for the service quality of the office transport services. Based on the findings of this study recommendations have been made to improve the service quality of the office transport services.

Authors: Jaryal Ritika , Khullar Sadhika , Kumar Rakesh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Nuclear energy holds the chief portion of the global primary energy mix that comes with the major issue of releasing volatile nuclear wastes viz. radioiodine (129I and 131I) into air and water bodies during nuclear fuel reprocessing. The efficient capture of volatile radioiodine has attracted a major attention worldwide due to the severe health and environment effects. Among various porous materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are the intriguing class of porous organic materials with crystallinity, synthetically pre-designable functionalities to achieve tunable properties. Herein, a new benzothiazole based COF (COF-3) obtained by the condensation of 2,6-dimainobenzothiazole and 2,4,6-triformylpholoroglucinol is reported with tetragonal pore topology (pore volume = 0.305 cc/g; BET surface area = 57.9 m2/g). The electron rich heteroatoms in the frameworks play a crucial role in adsorbing electron deficient iodine molecules and therefore, the benzothiazole-derived COF is envisioned to be potent material for efficient iodine adsorption. The synthesized COF showed the iodine adsorption capacity of 1.07 g g-1 in vapor phase and 109.0 mg g-1 from n-hexane solution. A reference COF (COF-4) with no thiazole group derived from 1,4-phenylenediamine and 2,4,6-triformylpholoroglucinol with hexagonal pore topology (pore volume = 0.937 cc/g) and BET surface area 133.9 m2/g showed adsorption of iodine from n-hexane solution with capacity 149.5 mg g-1. The study revealed that although the presence of heteroatoms in the framework facilitates the iodine adsorption by converting the molecular iodine into the polyiodides; the factors such as BET surface area, pore topology and pore volume also play a major role in the adsorption of iodine molecules.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Because they support the entire weight of the train and carry substantial safety consequences, rail train wheels are vital bogie components. As a result, it is crucial to predict tire wear so that early wheel turning or replacement may effectively improve the stability of train operation and the economy of railroad operation. A substantial percentage of wheel wear will occur during travel, impacting safety. Data intelligence may be able to anticipate tire wear more precisely and timely than traditional prediction based on historical experience. As data-driven analysis advances, numerous intelligent algorithms are being employed to the prediction of tire wear. Despite the rapid advancement of data-driven technology, predicting wheel and rail. Regression is used in this paper to forecast wheel wear using complex algorithms. In order to better accurately predict future wheel wear data, this study is based on data-driven technologies for wheel data collection, analysis, filtering, and acquisition. The Particle Swarm Optimization Support Vector Machine (PSO-SVM) model is improved by employing the grid search strategy to minimize the two parameters of the support vector machine's kernel parameter g and the punishment function C. while employing the cross-validation method to prevent overfitting and achieve the regression prediction of wheel wear data. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the improved model generates more reliable results for each prediction. In order to demonstrate how the model affects optimization, the Genetic algorithm for optimization of support vector machines (GA-SVM) mathematical model is optimized for comparative analysis in terms of iteration rate, fitness, and mathematical metrics.

Authors: Shi Chao , Liu Zhimin , Xu Yongjian , Xu Xingyuan , Yang Daoye , Xie Yuanlai 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Neutral Beam Injection (NBI), an auxiliary heating method in EAST, is evolving towards higher energy and longer pulses, leading to increased energy bombardment on the high-field side graphite protection tiles. This study explores the intricacies of theoretical injection energy and shine-through losses with respect to plasma density, NBI beam energy, and NBI pulse width. By evaluating the beam power distribution reaching the protective tiles, and subsequently assessing the temperature distribution on the tiles under varying pulse widths, a reliable comparison can be made between the simulated temperature results and experimental temperature data.To ensure the reliability of simulation results, the beam power distribution utilizes a two-dimensional Gaussian model and a particle model for contrast simulation. Similarly, the thermal deposition model employs a simplified uniform heating model and a thermal conduction model. As a reference, the experimentally measured data includes both infrared surface temperature measurements and buried thermocouple measurements.The objective of this study is to establish a correlation between key input variables and the protective tile temperature. By setting precise parameters, this research seeks to provide a predictive mechanism for thermal deposition, contributing to proactive overheating prevention and efficient adjustments to injection parameters and first-wall backend cooling metrics.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Free fatty acids (FFAs) hepatic accumulation and the resulting oxidative stress contribute to several chronic liver diseases including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we present a novel mechanism by which FFAs toxicity negatively affects DNA repair activity. Specifically, we found that oleic acid (OA), a prominent dietary free fatty acid, inhibits the activity of DNA polymerase β (Pol β), a crucial enzyme involved in base excision repair (BER), by actively competing with 2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate. Consequently, OA hinders the efficiency of BER, leading to the accumulation of DNA damage in hepatocytes overloaded with FFAs. Additionally, the excessive presence of OA and palmitic acid leads to mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocytes. These findings suggest that the accumulation of FFAs hampers Pol β activity and contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, shedding light on potential pathogenic mechanisms underlying FFAs-related diseases.

Abstract

Sustainable green space is essential in urban areas to maintain and improve human well-being. However, to better understand the impact of environmental and socioeconomic changes on the sustainability of tropical urban green space landscapes, work is needed to explore the patterns of plant diversity and its drivers in urban green spaces. We explore urban floristic diversity patterns based on samples from 826 urban functional units located in five cities in the tropical coastal region of China. Field surveys were conducted to obtain data on plant diversity, land use types, socioeconomic characteristics, and environmental characteristics within these units. Plant diversity within the cities varied significantly among land use types, with high-rise housing, parks and universities exhibiting higher diversity. The diversity of cultivated plants and regional economy showed significant positive correlation, while an increase in the diversity of spontaneous plants and native species was linked to building age. Management also affected plant diversity, with watering frequency being positively associated and maintenance frequency. Urban plant diversity patterns result from a combination of multiple factors. Socio-economic factors are the primary driver of the patterns of urban plant diversity, as space management and maintenance determine what can grow in different areas. The implications of the study have important practical significance for policymakers and managers in the development and management of urban green spaces more sustainably.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Consider the impact of life expectancy for timing of treatment intervention, this retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether predicting timing of cranial radiotherapy (CRT) in NSCLC patients with BM through lung-molGPA index.
Methods
The lung-molGPA scores were obtained and used as a basis to stratify the patients. The effect of radiotherapy timing on survival time in groups stratified by lung-molGPA index was evaluated. Upfront CRT was defined as CRT received within 3 months after initial diagnosis of BM and no progression of BM prior to CRT. While deferred CRT was receiving CRT after progression of BM or initial diagnosis of BM three months later.
Results
In the entire cohort, the median OS and PFS were 17.0 and 9.2 months, respectively. In the lung-molGPA2.5–4 group, the addition of CRT prolonged the OS and PFS of patients (OS = HR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.48–0.91, P < .001; and PFS = HR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.54–1.01, P = .001). Moreover, in patients with lung-molGPA score of 2.5–4, the median OS times of the upfront CRT and deferred CRT groups were 26.0 months and 18.0 months, respectively; meanwhile, the OS of the upfront CRT group was significantly superior to that of the deferred CRT group (HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.42–1.13, P = .002).
Conclusion
In patients who obtained a lung-molGPA score of 2.5–4.0, upfront CRT could benefit patients’ survival. In patients who obtained a score of 0–2, the survival benefit from CRT was limited.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Gall pests have caused seriously damage to eucalyptus in recent years in China. In this study, we collected and identified the invaded eucalyptus gall wasp Ophelimus maskelli and its parasitoid Closterocerus chamaeleon for the first time in China. O. maskelli induced two types of gall shape, i.e., blister- and neoplastic-shaped galls. The blister-shaped galls were most likely induced on leaves rather on petioles and stems, while the neoplastic-shaped galls were more frequently found on petioles rather than on leaves and stems. We find that of the four solar orientations, O. maskelli significantly preferred to colonize Eucalyptus trees in the sunnier areas in south over that in west and north with significantly lower gall infestation rate detected in east. The parasitism rate of C. chamaeleon increased from 23.4% in February to 97.4% in March 2023 when the population of O. maskelli galls was low (236.8–251.4 galls/20 branches); however, when gall population increased to a high level (≈ 450 galls/20 branches), the parasitism rate significantly decreased to 26.5% in April, although it raised to 62.6% again in May. Our findings deliver insigne into development of biological control programs of O. maskelli using C. chamaeleon.

Abstract
Background
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is being increasingly utilized in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies. At the same time the use of robotic assistance in major oncological surgeries is increasing nationwide. We describe our initial outcomes with robotic assisted CRS/HIPEC technique (RCRS/HIPEC).
Methods
Our patients are a 40-yo female with BMI 17 and history of signet ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma s/p FOLFOX and robotic total gastrectomy then recurrence 2.5years later found during hysterectomy s/p 6 cycles of 5fu/irinotecan and nivolumab with no radiologically evident disease and a 49-yo female with BMI 37 and recently found low grade mucinous appendiceal neoplasm during appendectomy with radiologically confined disease at the right lower quadrant.
Results
Patients underwent cytoreduction with the use of the Xi robotic system. Peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) was PCI = 4 and PCI = 5. Both patients underwent a complete cytoreduction (completeness of cytoreduction score, CC = 0). Perfusion for 90 minutes with mitomycin C at 41-42C was performed. Estimated blood loss for both cases was less than 50ml, patients returned bowel function at postoperative day 3 and were discharged on postoperative day 5 without complications.

Authors: Jeon Song Hyeon , Kim Taeyeon , Je Nam Kyung 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background:
The overuse and misuse of antibiotics is a major public health concern, contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of inappropriate antibiotic prescription for acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) in primary care clinics in Korea and identify contributing factors.
Methods:
Data from 20-64-year-old female AUC patients in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Patient Sample were analyzed. Four categories of inappropriate antibiotic use were evaluated: inappropriate selection, duration, use of parenteral antibiotics, and multiple oral antibiotics. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the impact of factors on inappropriate prescriptions.
Results:
Of the 3,125 patients, 2,285 (73.1%) received inappropriate antibiotics. The most common categories were the use of parenteral antibiotics. Institutional, not patient, factors, were the primary contributors to inappropriate prescription. Urology-specialized clinics had more than double the rate of inappropriate prescription compared to other clinics.
Conclusion:
More than 70% of AUC patients received inappropriate antibiotics in Korean outpatient clinics. The data highlights the urgent need for antimicrobial stewardship in the outpatient setting, with AUC as a 'high priority condition'.
Tempering lethal irradiation induced pro-inflammatory responses in lethally irradiated animals by G-003M: A Potential Radio-modifying approach
Authors: Nadella Vinod , Ranjan Rajiv , Gupta Manju , Jain Aklank , Prakash Hridayesh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Repair of lethal radiation associated hemopoietic / gastrointestinal syndrome within an amicable post irradiation time is paramount for radio recovery. In this context, our previous studies have demonstrated the significance of CD14+high macrophages are critical for the management of radiation induced injuries. In this study we report that one of our radioprotective formulations (G-003M) potentially inhibited lethal radiation and/or LPS induced NO and Th1 effector cytokines in the exposed macrophages and lethally irradiated animals indicating its M1 dim polarizing capacity. Preconditioning of mice with G-003M before exposure to lethal irradiation (LR) inhibited Th1 effector cytokines in serum, lung, small intestine, and splenic tissue confirming its anti-inflammatory potential in these models. Of note, G-003M mediated M2 polarization of LPS primed iNOS+ M1 effector macrophages indicating its potential to temper plasticity of inflammatory macrophages that are potentially involved in sensitization of lethally irradiated host highlighting its adjunct role in mitigating radiation syndromes and affording radioprotection. G-003M potentially re-programs lethally irradiated macrophages, explicitly demonstrating that re-programming of inflammatory macrophages and / or response by G-003M may contribute to the tissue homeostasis radio recovery

Published: June 2023

The Subbotniks, or gers, were Russian Sabbatarians. The article describes a necropolis of exiled Jewish Subbotniks founded in the village of Zima, Irkutsk Province, in the early 1830s. The Subbotniks shared the necropolis with the Jews since both exile communities maintained close routine and religious contacts. The research objective was to catalog the authentic tombstones of 1865–1947 and determine the influence of Judaism on the religious life the Subbotniks. The article gives a general description of the Sabbatarian sects that appeared among Russian peasants at the turn of the XVIII–XIX centuries and explains how they ended up in the Irkutsk Province. The author studied the Jewish burial and mourning practices adopted by the Subbotniks and compared the Zima necropolis with traditional Jewish cemeteries. The descriptions of tombstones and epitaphs were collected during the expeditions of 2017 and 2019.The surviving tombstones were cataloged, and the epitaphs were translated from Hebrew into Russian to compile a list of those buried in the cemetery during the period in question. The research also included the tombstones that belonged to the Jews who lived in Zima in the XIX – early XX centuries.
