Published: January 2025

ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe adolescent sleep and explore its association with physical activity, focusing on the mediating role of family physical behavior.MethodsData were sourced from the Chinese Adolescent Health Database, which included responses from 7,482 adolescents aged 12–18 years about sleep, personal physical activity, and family physical activity. Using two-stage least squares (2-SLS), we examined the relationship between adolescent sleep, personal physical activity, and father’s physical activity habits (as instrumental variables). A mediating variable, family physical behavior, was introduced to investigate causal pathways.Results2-SLS regression revealed a significant positive correlation between physical activity and sleep quality (β = 0.052, p&lt;0.01). With the inclusion of the instrumental variable (father’s physical activity habits), the effect size increased to 0.208 (p&lt;0.01). Adding family physical behavior as a mediating variable further increased the coefficient by 0.1437. The analysis showed that 84.62% of the total effect of physical activity on sleep was mediated, while the direct effect accounted for only 15.53%. Both F-statistics were significant.ConclusionFamily physical behaviors significantly enhance the positive impact of physical activity on adolescent sleep. Promoting family sports participation is essential for fostering healthy lifestyles and improving adolescent sleep quality. This highlights the need for interventions that incorporate family physical activities into adolescent health strategies.

IntroductionData-driven strategies might combat the spreading of infectious pig disease and improve the early detection of potential pig health problems. The current study aimed to explore individual views on data recording and use of data tools for pig health management by recruiting stakeholders (N = 202) in Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands.MethodsQuestionnaire focused on current on-farm challenges, current status of data recording on farms, and evaluation of the two mock data tools. Particularly, “benchmarking tool” was designed to visualize individual farm’s pig mortality, targeting the management of infectious respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases; and “early-warning tool” was designed to generate an alarm through monitoring coughs in pigs, targeting the management of infectious respiratory diseases.ResultsResults showed that respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases and aggressive behaviors were the most frequently mentioned health challenge and welfare challenge, respectively. Most of the data was more frequently recorded electronically than on paper. In general, the “benchmarking tool” was perceived as useful for the management of infectious respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, and the “early-warning tool” was evaluated as useful for the management of infectious respiratory diseases. Several barriers to the perceived usefulness of these two tools were identified, such as the lack of contextual information, inconvenience of data input, limited internet access, reliance on one’s own experience and observation, technical hurdles, and mistrust of information output. The perceived usefulness of both tools was higher among highly educated participants, and those who reported being integrators and positive toward technology for disease control. Female participants and those who came from integrated farms evaluated the “early-warning tool” as more useful compared to their counterparts. The perceived usefulness of the “early-warning tool” was negatively affected by age and work experience, but positively affected by extensiveness of data recording, positive attitude toward technology, and the current use of technology.DiscussionIn summary, participants showed optimistic views on the use of data tools to support their decision-making and management of infectious pig respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. It is noteworthy that data tools should not only convey the value of data for informed decision-making but also consider stakeholders’ preconditions and needs for data tools.

The forest soil carbon pool plays a vital role in terrestrial ecosystems, being of great significance for maintaining global balance, regulating the global carbon cycle, and facilitating ecological restoration. Shandong Changyi Marine Ecological Special Protection Area is the only state-level marine special protection area in China with tamarisk as the main object of protection, and it is the largest continuous and the best preserved natural tamarisk forest distribution area on the mainland coast of China. Compared to other forested areas, research on the spatial distribution of SOC at the core area in coastal Tamarix forests’ inland side appears to be relatively scarce. Based on this, this paper takes the core area of the Changyi National Marine Ecological Special Protection Zone, located on the southern coast of Laizhou Bay, as the research subject, based on the potassium dichromate oxidation-external heating, one-way ANOVA, and Bonferroni methods, analyzing the spatial distribution of the SOC content inland of coastal Tamarix forests. The research yielded the following conclusions: (1) The surface layer (0–10 cm) contributes significantly to the total SOC content within a 0–60 cm depth, accounting for at least 31% and shows notable surface accumulation. (2) The combined SOC content in the surface and subsurface layers (10–20 cm) accounts for at least 50% of the total SOC content within a 0–60 cm depth, indicating the dominance of these two soil layers in carbon storage. (3) The SOC content decreases with the soil depth at all six sampling points within the 0–60 cm range, with a marked drop from 0–10 cm to 10–20 cm. (4) One-way ANOVA and multiple comparisons reveal that the soil depth significantly affects the SOC distribution, particularly between the surface and 20–30 cm layers (p < 0.001), indicating high robustness and statistical significance. (5) Horizontally, the total SOC at 0 m is 45% lower than at 2 m in the 0–60 cm layer. The SOC in the 0–20 cm layer fluctuates significantly with distance from the shrub trunk, while the SOC in the 30–60 cm layers is low and stable, with minimal variations with depth. In addition, this study found that the SOC content in the core area of the protected area is lower than that in the common forest ecosystem. In the future, scientific ecological restoration projects and management protection methods should be used to improve soil’s carbon storage and carbon sink capacity. These findings not only validate the patterns of SOC’s spatial distribution in coastal Tamarix forest wetlands but also provide a scientific basis for carbon assessment and the formulation of ecological protection measures in coastal wetlands.

Proteins found within the fungal cell wall usually contain both N- and O-oligosaccharides. N-glycosylation is the process where these oligosaccharides (hereinafter: glycans) are attached to asparagine residues, while in O-glycosylation the glycans are covalently bound to serine or threonine residues. The PMT family is grouped into PMT1, PMT2, and PMT4 subfamilies. Using bioinformatics analysis within the Botrytis cinerea genome database, an ortholog to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pmt4 and other fungal species was identified. The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of the bcpmt4 gene in B. cinerea glycosylation. For this purpose, the bcpmt4 gene was disrupted by homologous recombination in the B05.10 strain using a hygromycin B resistance cassette. Expression of bcpmt4 in S. cerevisiae ΔScpmt4 or ΔScpmt3 null mutants restored glycan levels like those observed in the parental strain. The phenotypic analysis showed that Δbcpmt4 null mutants exhibited significant changes in hyphal cell wall composition, including reduced mannan levels and increased amounts of chitin and glucan. Furthermore, the loss of bcpmt4 led to decreased glycosylation of glycoproteins in the B. cinerea cell wall. The null mutant lacking PMT4 was hypersensitive to a range of cell wall perturbing agents, antifungal drugs, and high hydrostatic pressure. Thus, in addition to their role in glycosylation, the PMT4 is required to virulence, biofilm formation, and membrane integrity. This study adds to our knowledge of the role of the B. cinerea bcpmt4 gene, which is involved in glycosylation and cell biology, cell wall formation, and antifungal response.

Abstract
We have developed a method for growing SiGe epitaxial layers by using screen printing of Al-Ge paste on Si substrates, and then melting the paste locally with pulsed laser annealing. This method builds upon our previous technology for SiGe epitaxial growth using printing and firing of Al-Ge paste under atmospheric pressure to enable non-equilibrium growth. When using a mixed paste containing Al and Ge particles, laser ablation dominates the process, while with a homogeneous AlGe alloyed paste, efficient melting and epitaxial growth occur. Excessive laser irradiation resulted in an inhomogeneous composition with surface irregularities due to Marangoni convection. On the other hand, appropriate laser irradiation led to flat and uniform SiGe formation, paving the way for advancements in the facile growth of metastable semiconductors.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Epitaxial polarity inversion of N-polar (−c) GaN to Ga-polar (+c) GaN was demonstrated by combining metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and surface oxidation processes. Annealing –c-GaN films at 900 °C in oxygen and the introduction of a low-temperature GaN buffer layer resulted in successful polarity inversion. Annealing time impacted the formation of voids at the regrowth interface due to the etching of the oxide film and the GaN growth mode. These results represent a promising approach to pseudomorphic epitaxial polarity inversion of GaN for novel devices that utilize both polarities, such as high-efficiency wavelength conversion devices.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study presents a blood coagulation test method based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) undergoing Brownian relaxation in response to a magnetic field. Because Brownian relaxation depends on viscosity and particle volume, coagulation and MNP aggregation need to be separately evaluated. We assess the effects of coagulation and aggregation on the basis of alternating current susceptibility of MNPs. The magnetic signal is observed to considerably increase to 177 ± 3.71 μV in the case with coagulation, compared with only 133 ± 3.87 μV in the case without coagulation, thereby indicating that coagulation inhibits ion-induced aggregation of MNPs.

The application of LoRAWAN on Internet of Things (IoT) technology is to communicate in real time and accommodate data from many nodes based on device addresses. LoRAWAN device communication is able to reach distances of up to kilometers with low cost, compared to high-frequency cellular communication currently installed on the coast. This application can be done on LoRA devices to forward the results of three-dimensional localization based on signal strength. This research was to conduct three-dimensional localization based on signal strength from three LoRa End Nodes (EN) to four LoRa Anchor Nodes (AN), then forwarded to the server to be displayed on the Datacakes application. Localization begins with a path loss model analysis to determine the path loss coefficient. The localization results were in the form of data packets consisting of longitude, latitude, and altitude position parameters and the results of the EN to AN distance conversion. The data packet was forwarded to the The Things Networks (TNN) server with Over The Air Activation (OTAA) activation mode. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) analysis of the localization results for EN1 was 169.35 meters, EN2 was 395.08 meters and EN3 was 183.24 meters. The localization data packets were forwarded to the cloud server via the GW device. Analysis of GW communication with EN is shown by the Packet Error Ratio (PER), Air Time (AT), and latency parameters. The smallest PER results, fastest AT and lowest latency were obtained from GW communication with EN2, where the position of EN2 was closest to GW among the other ENs.

Desa Mekarjati yang terletak di Karawang Barat adalah lokasi yang dipilih untuk melangsungkan kegiatan. Desa tersebut memiliki potensi wilayah yang berbasis pertanian, peternakan, dan home industri. Seiring dengan berkembangnya pertanian yang begitu pesat maka, masyarakat desa mulai memanfaatkan lahan yang kosong dengan ditanami tanaman sayuran dan salah satu potensi yang paling banyak ditanam ialah tanaman kedelai. Namun, amat disayangkan pengolahan kedelai hanya diolah dalam bentuk mentahan maupun matang setelah itu pemilik langsung menjual ke pasar. Dari permasalahan tersebut menjadikan peneliti untuk meneliti potensi usaha yang dikelola usaha kedelai tersebut. Dengan berbekal pengalaman yang sudah dipelajari di kuliah, dan sharing bersama petani yang mengola tanaman kedelai. Selanjutnya, peneliti akan melakukan inovasi yaitu menjadikan kedelai tersebut menjadi berbagai macam olehan makanan seperti olahan tempe terhadap usaha home industri kedelai tersebut, dengan harapan usaha home industri kedelai tersebut dapat bersaing dengan UMKM lainnya yang ada disekitarnya. Dan tentunya diperlukan evaluasi dan pendampingan dalam inovasi tersebut dikemudian hari

Abstract
The Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS) was a mass spectrometer designed to measure lunar gases. PITMS flew on the first flight of Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander via the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in 2024 January. After launch, the lander suffered a propulsion system anomaly that prevented the mission from reaching the Moon, but PITMS collected 80 high-quality spectra while in cislunar space. PITMS observed abundant outgassing products from the Peregrine lander, including water, MON-25 oxidizer from the propulsion system leak, and traces of combustion products. PITMS data help constrain the nature of the propulsion system failure: oxidizer molecular ratios show that the leak released molecules rapidly enough for them to fully dissociate, and the high observed abundances imply that the oxidizer traveled within the lander surfaces rather than jetting into space. The amount of water offgassed by the spacecraft is substantially more than other planetary spacecraft, so the PITMS results suggest that instruments flying in the CLPS paradigm need to consider lander cleanliness. Though not successful in measuring the native lunar exosphere, the PITMS results showcase the capabilities of a mass spectrometer on board a lunar lander, along with lessons in pragmatism and flexibility that would enable such an instrument to ultimately be successful in the CLPS initiative.

Bacteria of the genus Salmonella are widely distributed in nature. They can colonize different hosts and are the most common causes of intestinal infections in humans and animals. The main route of Salmonella transmission to humans is by contaminated food, or undercooked eggs and meat. The aim of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella enteritidis, which was the most frequently isolated Salmonella in the Microbiological Laboratory of the Center of Public Health in Shtip. Materials and methods: A total of 1839 samples (12 rectal swabs and 1827 feces), from persons suspect for salmonellosis in the region of Shtip were investigated for the period 2020 to 2022 year. SS (Salmonella Shigella) agar, Rambach agar, and Selenit F media were used for detection of Salmonella spp., and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolated bacteria is performed with disk diffusion method according EUCAST. Results: Salmonella enteritidis is detected in 62 samples (3.37%), isolated strains of Salmonella enteritidis demonstrate high resistance to ampicillin 2 μg (37.09%), and multi-resistant strains (6.45%) were also detected. Conclusion: The appearance of ampicillin and multi-resistant strains of Salmonella enteritidis in the samples analyzed in our study is a sign of concern and an alarm to initiate a change in the algorithm for the treatment of Salmonella enteritidis infections, especially with the use of fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins (of the third generation). It is recommended to introduce a system for the rational use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary health.

La variation syntaxique : à la recherche de la pertinence oppositive
Authors: Corminboeuf Gilles 
Published: January 2025

L’article prend comme point de départ la présence – assez commune dans le système linguistique – de deux constructions concurrentes, a priori en variation libre (la montagne m’est tombée dessus / la montagne est tombée sur moi ; il joue contre un adversaire redoutable / il joue un adversaire redoutable, etc.). Cette concurrence est appréhendée de deux manières : considérer qu’une nuance sémantique subtile légitime leur coexistence dans le système, ou considérer que la pertinence oppositive se situe à un autre niveau de l’organisation linguistique et que ce sont les besoins communicatifs des locuteurs qui déterminent la sélection de la variante. Notre réflexion nous conduira à un questionnement sur les conséquences de la sous-spécification du système linguistique et sur la distinction entre variante et opposition sémantique.
