Differential Probability in Unmet Healthcare Needs Among Migrants in Four European Countries
Authors: Fares Hani , Domínguez Jaime Pinilla , Puig-Junoy Jaume 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Migrants and refugees try to reach Europe to seek protection and a better life. The responsiveness and stewardship of the European countries health system have an impact on the ability to access healthcare. This study aims to investigate the differential probability of healthcare unmet needs among migrants living in four European countries. We used a 2019 cross-sectional data from the European Union Income and Living Conditions survey. We performed a two-stage probit model with sample selection, first to identify the respondents with need for care, then those who need it but have not received it. We analysed reasons for unmet needs through accessibility, availability and acceptability. We then performed country studies assessing the national health systems, financing mechanisms and migration policies. Bringing together data on financial hardship and unmet needs reveals that migrants living in Europe have a higher risk of facing unmet healthcare needs compared to native citizens, and affordability of care remains a substantial barrier. Our results showed the country heterogeneity in the differential migrants’ unmet needs according to the place where they live, and this disparity seems attributed to the health system and policies applied. Given the diversity of socioeconomic conditions throughout the European countries, the health of migrants depends to a large degree on the integration and health policies in place. We believe that EU policies should apply further efforts to respect core health and protection ethics and to acknowledge, among others, principles of ‘do-no-harm’, equity and the right to health.
A review of megafauna diversity and abundance in an exploration area for polymetallic nodules in the eastern part of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (North East Pacific), and implications for potential future deep-sea mining in this area

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ) is an abyssal region in the north-east Pacific that is currently being explored for metal-rich polymetallic nodules, but also harbors a highly diverse megabenthic community. This community is influenced by multiple environmental gradients including bathymetric structures as well as differences in habitat and food availability. This study focuses on the benthic megafauna investigated in an exploration area positioned in the very east of the CCZ, which exhibits the lowest water depths (mean: 4200 m) and the highest flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) of the CCZ. Case studies using seafloor images for the detection of megafauna have revealed differences between seamounts and abyssal hills compared to nodule fields, as well as differences in the community composition between areas with and without nodule coverage and rock outcrop. Extrapolations suggest a richness of more than 300 morphotypes in the study area, including multiple invertebrate groups such as corals, sponges, echinoderms, and crustaceans as well as fish. Focusing on sampled specimens, diversities of Ophiuroidea, Porifera, and Bryozoa are high and more species are likely to be discovered in the study area. This also applies for the taxon Ophiuroidea, which is among the taxa investigated in the greatest detail so far. In the context of deep-sea mining, megafauna has been in the focus of a variety of environmental studies including baseline analyses, disturbance experiments, and/or testing of mining components or systems. These studies identify and address key factors responsible for the observed natural and impacted distribution patterns and thereby help to constrain expected anthropogenic impacts to the deep-sea environment in the context of deep-sea mining. Specifically in the area of focus of this study, 10 years of megafauna analyses have shown that the biodiversity in the selected preservation reference zone (PRZ) is not as similar to that of the impact reference zone (IRZ) as originally hypothesized based mainly on geological parameters. We suggest that recent area-wide habitat classifications and faunal mapping exercises (e.g., Uhlenkott et al. 2020, 2022) are used to designate a new PRZ that is more similar to the IRZ to meet its purpose, but that the current PRZ is maintained for scientific and conservation purposes.

Published: March 2023

AbstractMultilevel modelling has become a popular analytical approach for many demographic and health outcomes. The objective of this paper is to systematically review studies which used multilevel modelling in demographic research in Africa in terms of the outcomes analysed, common findings, theoretical rationale, questions addressed, methodological approaches, study design and data sources. The review was conducted by searching electronic databases such as Ebsco hosts, Science Direct, ProQuest, Scopus, PubMed and Google scholar for articles published between 2010 and 2021. Search terms such as neighbourhood, social, ecological and environmental context were used. The systematic review consisted of 35 articles, with 34 being peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 technical report. Based on the systematic review community-level factors are important in explaining various demographic outcomes. The community-level factors such as distance to the health facility, geographical region, place of residence, high illiteracy rates and the availability of maternal antenatal care services influenced several child health outcomes. The interpretation of results in the reviewed studies mainly focused on fixed effects rather than random effects. It is observed that data on cultural practices, values and beliefs, are needed to enrich the robust evidence generated from multilevel models.
Red piranha optimization (RPO): a natural inspired meta-heuristic algorithm for solving complex optimization problems
Authors: Rabie Asmaa H. , Saleh Ahmed I. , Mansour Nehal A. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAn optimization algorithm is a step-by-step procedure which aims to achieve an optimum value (maximum or minimum) of an objective function. Several natural inspired meta-heuristic algorithms have been inspired to solve complex optimization problems by utilizing the potential advantages of swarm intelligence. In this paper, a new nature-inspired optimization algorithm which mimics the social hunting behavior of Red Piranha is developed, which is called Red Piranha Optimization (RPO). Although the piranha fish is famous for its extreme ferocity and thirst for blood, it sets the best examples of cooperation and organized teamwork, especially in the case of hunting or saving their eggs. The proposed RPO is established through three sequential phases, namely; (i) searching for a prey, (ii) encircling the prey, and (iii) attacking the prey. A mathematical model is provided for each phase of the proposed algorithm. RPO has salient properties such as; (i) it is very simple and easy to implement, (ii) it has a perfect ability to bypass local optima, and (iii) it can be employed for solving complex optimization problems covering different disciplines. To ensure the efficiency of the proposed RPO, it has been applied in feature selection, which is one of the important steps in solving the classification problem. Hence, recent bio-inspired optimization algorithms as well as the proposed RPO have been employed for selecting the most important features for diagnosing Covid-19. Experimental results have proven the effectiveness of the proposed RPO as it outperforms the recent bio-inspired optimization techniques according to accuracy, execution time, micro average precision, micro average recall, macro average precision, macro average recall, and f-measure calculations.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the linguistic markers of an interest in mindfulness. Specifically, it examined whether individuals who follow mindfulness experts on Twitter use different language in their tweets compared to a random sample of Twitter users. This is a first step which may complement commonly used self-report measures of mindfulness with quantifiable behavioural metrics.

Method
A linguistic analysis examined the association between an interest in mindfulness and linguistic markers in 1.87 million Twitter entries across 19,732 users from two groups, (1) a mindfulness interest group (n = 10,347) comprising followers of five mindfulness experts and (2) a control group (n = 9385) of a random selection of Twitter users. Text analysis software (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) was used to analyse linguistic markers associated with the categories and subcategories of mindfulness, affective processes, social orientation, and “being” mode of mind.

Results
Analyses revealed an association between an interest in mindfulness and lexical choice. Specifically, tweets from the mindfulness interest group contained a significantly higher frequency of markers associated with mindfulness, positive emotion, happiness, and social orientation, and a significantly lower frequency of markers associated with negative emotion, past focus, present focus, future focus, family orientation, and friend orientation.

Conclusions
Results from this study suggest that an interest in mindfulness is associated with more frequent use of certain language markers on Twitter. The analysis opens possible pathways towards developing more naturalistic methods of understanding and assessing mindfulness which may complement self-reporting methods.
Subordination and memory dependent kinetics in diffusion and relaxation phenomena
Authors: Górska Katarzyna , Horzela Andrzej 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe concept of subordination, originally introduced in the probability and stochastic processes theories, has also appeared in analysis of evolution equations. So it is not surprising that we meet it in physics of complex systems, in particular when study equations describing diffusion and dielectric relaxation phenomena. Grace to intuitively understood decomposition of complex processes into their simpler and better known components, called parent and leading processes, subordination formalism enables us to attribute physical interpretation to integral decompositions representing plethora of solutions to anomalous diffusion and relaxation problems. Moreover, it makes investigation of properties obeyed by these solutions far easier and more effective. Using the Laplace-Fourier transform method to solve memory-dependent evolution equations we show that subordination can be naturally implemented in their solutions. The key to achieve this goal is the use of operational calculus merged with the application of the Efros theorem [1]. Adopting exclusively methods of classical mathematical analysis we are able to derive the memory-stemmed origin of subordination and build a bridge connecting functional analysis/operator calculus based methods of solving the evolution equations with well established stochastic and probabilistic approaches. With such a developed general formalism in hands we apply it to several models of anomalous diffusion and relaxation phenomena.
Reduced expression of gangliosides with GM2-determinant in cervical carcinoma-derived cells after subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice

Published: March 2023

AbstractHuman cervical carcinoma-derived cell lines have been frequently found to contain gangliosides with GM2-determinant, i.e., GM2, GalNAc-GM1b and GalNAc-GD1a, but GM2 was only detected in 5 of 15 tissues, and GalNAc-GM1b and GalNAc-GD1a were not found in any tissues from patients with several histological types of cervical carcinomas. To further characterize the ganglioside expression in cervical carcinomas, cells were grown by subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice, and gangliosides were quantitated by TLC-immunostaining with the anti-GM2 (YHD-06) antibody and a newly developed anti-GM3 (5H6) antibody, which reacts with GM3 and GM1b, but not with GD1a. Gangliosides with GM2-determinant in cells disappeared in transplanted cells, and the amount of GM3, a precursor for GM2, in transplanted cells was greater than in cultured cells. Also, transplanted cells containing GalNAc-GM1b newly expressed GM1b, suggesting that the activity of GalNAc transferase for synthesis of GalNAc-GM1b is retarded on subcutaneous transplantation. The ganglioside composition, with GM3 as the major one, in the transplanted cells was similar to that in cervical carcinoma tissues, and thus, the expression of gangliosides with GM2-determinant seemed to be accelerated under cell-cultivation conditions.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIn central Europe, including Germany, Telekia speciosa (heart-leaved oxeye) is a synanthropic, non-native plant species commonly grown as an ornamental plant. A powdery mildew has recently been introduced on this host in Germany. This powdery mildew has previously been assigned to Golovinomyces cichoracearum (≡ Erysiphe cichoracearum) sensu lato. Two German specimens of powdery mildew on Telekia have been sequenced and phylogenetically analysed. The analyses revealed that the German sequences obtained from the Telekia powdery mildew are identical with a sequence retrieved from Golovinomyces inulae on Pentanema salicinum (≡ Inula salicina) collected in Switzerland. Furthermore, holotype material of G. inulae, described from Korea, has been sequenced, which confirmed G. inulae as causative agent of the Telekia powdery mildew. The current distribution of G. inulae in Germany is briefly discussed including a first report of this pathogen from Austria.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe increasing demand for energy absorbent structures, paired with the need for more efficient use of materials in a wide range of engineering fields, has led to an extensive range of designs in the porous forms of sandwiches, honeycomb, and foams. To achieve an even better performance, an ingenious solution is to learn how biological structures adjust their configurations to absorb energy without catastrophic failure. In this study, we have attempted to blend the shape freedom, offered by additive manufacturing techniques, with the biomimetic approach, to propose new lattice structures for energy absorbent applications. To this aim we have combined multiple bio-inspirational sources for the design of optimized configurations under compressive loads. Periodic lattice structures are fabricated based on the designed unit cell geometries and studied using experimental and computational strategies. The individual effect of each bio-inspired feature has been evaluated on the energy absorbance performance of the designed structure. Based on the design parameters of the lattices, a tuning between the strength and energy absorption could be obtained, paving the way for transition within a wide range of real-life applicative scenarios.
On a Choquet Integral DEA Cross-Efficiency Evaluation Method Involving the Satisfaction of Decision-Making Units and Weight Balance of Indicators
Authors: Zhao Yizhao , Gong Zaiwu 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe secondary goal approach is an effective way to address the problem of the non-uniqueness of the optimal weights The secondary goal approach is an effective way to address the problem of the non-uniqueness of the optimal weights for decision-making units (DMUs) in the cross-efficiency evaluation process of data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, on the one hand, existing secondary-goal models seldom consider the willingness of DMUs to accept and be satisfied with the cross-efficiency evaluation results of DEA. On the other hand, the problem of zero weights and excessive differences of indicators has not been given enough attention. Furthermore, the traditional DEA approach ignores interactions between indicators. To overcome these problems, in the context of considering the interaction of input (or output) indicators, this study introduces the idea of the minimum dissimilarity of weights and constructs an improved method for evaluating the cross-efficiency of the secondary goal based on the DMUs’ satisfaction. In this method, the 2-additive Choquet integral is used as a more feasible attempt to reflect the pairwise interaction between input (or output) indicators to improve the differentiation of DEA evaluation results. Additionally, the satisfaction targets of DMUs are adjusted according to the three ethical principles of fairness (fraternity), utilitarianism and equity in social choice theory to obtain a choice of optimal weights that is consistent with the values of individual DMUs. This paper validates the performance of the improved DEA method through comparative analysis of arithmetic cases. Then the method is applied to the study of the input–output efficiency assessment of the water–energy–food nexus in China.
A stochastic configuration networks-based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control approach for indirect matrix converter-driven permanent magnet linear synchronous motors

Published: March 2023

AbstractTo further improve the fast and stability of the control system of an indirect matrix converter (IMC) driven permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC) algorithm based on the disturbance observer of stochastic configuration networks (SCNs) is proposed. The NFTSMC algorithm is used to design the outer loop controller, which can reduce the influence of the IMC by the power supply voltage and high-frequency harmonics generated by switching. To further reduce the disturbance of IMC-PMLSM during operation, in this paper, a nonlinear disturbance observer based on SCNs is constructed, which solves the drawback that the traditional disturbance observer needs to adjust the parameters frequently under different working conditions. Finally, a simulation model is established on the MATLAB/Simulink platform to verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed control method.
This Will Not Be Generative
Authors: Ramírez-D'Oleo Dixa 
Published: March 2023

This Will Not Be Generative attends to the semiotics of ecological writings via Caribbean literary studies and black critical theory. Closely reading texts by Donna Haraway, Monique Allewaert, and Lisa Wells, it exposes how the language of tentacles and tendrils, an assumptive 'we,' and redemptive sympathy or 'care' disguises extraction from black people and blackness. This often speculative rhetoric, abetted by fantasies of white communion with indigenous groups, contrasts with the horror semiotics of the films Get Out (2017) and Midsommar (2019), which unmask the antagonistic relationship between white survival 'at the end of the world' and blackness as compost.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT:The objective was to characterize the progression of sleep complaints in 115 dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients who filled out a sleep questionnaire twice at a 9-year interval. Daytime napping (22.1% vs. 34.5%, p < 0.05), early awakenings (11.4% vs 21.1%, p < 0.05), nonrestorative sleep (39.5% vs 51.8%, p < 0.05), stimulant use (7.0% vs 19.3%, p < 0.01), breathing cessation (10.7% vs 23.2%, p < 0.01), and nighttime urination (42.5% vs 54.9%, p < 0.05) increased between Time 1 and Time 2. Sleep-related complaints are prominent and augment rapidly in DM1 patients. Physicians need to better identify and treat them to help alleviate the burden they impose on patients and their caregivers.
Fighting the Violence Against Women in Morocco
Authors: Ben Sedrine Leila 
Published: March 2023

AbstractViolence against women in all its forms is the most shameful violation of human rights. It is a violation that continues to increase over the years despite the existence of international and national laws. Morocco is one of the countries in the world that suffers from this discrimination against women. To deal with this phenomenon, national texts intervene to establish a legal framework that respects the principle of equality between women and men such as the Constitution of 2011, The Family Code (“Moudawana”) of 2004, and the adoption in 2016 of Law No. 27-14 on the fight against human trafficking, etc. In 2018, Law No. 103-13 related to the fight against violence towards women was promulgated. It is a law which constitutes a real legislative innovation in Morocco since it will reduce or even stop a certain number of abuses experienced by women. This is what leads us to ask ourselves, is Law No. 103-13 really going to allow us to abolish the segregation between men and women? And would this law allow us to fight against all kinds of violations against women?

Abstract
One of the fascinating outcomes of human microbiome studies adopting multi-omics technology is its ability to decipher millions of microbial encoded functions in the most complex and crowded microbial ecosystem, including the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract without cultivating the microbes. It is well established that several functions that modulate the human metabolism, nutrient assimilation, immunity, infections, disease severity and therapeutic efficacy of drugs are mostly of microbial origins. In addition, these microbial functions are dynamic and can disseminate between microbial taxa residing in the same ecosystem or other microbial ecosystems through horizontal gene transfer. For clinicians and researchers alike, understanding the toxins, virulence factors and drug resistance traits encoded by the microbes associated with the human body is of utmost importance. Nevertheless, when such traits are genetically linked with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that make them transmissible, it creates an additional burden to public health. This review mainly focuses on the functions of gut commensals and the dynamics and crosstalk between commensal and pathogenic bacteria in the gut. Also, the review summarises the plethora of MGEs linked with virulence genes present in the genomes of various enteric bacterial pathogens, which are transmissible among other pathogens and commensals.
