AbstractBackgroundUnderstanding which intrinsic and extrinsic factors dictate decision-making processes such as leaving the natal area or not (migratory vs resident strategy), departure time, and non-breeding destination are key-issues in movement ecology. This is particularly relevant for a partially migratory meta-population in which only some individuals migrate.MethodsWe investigated these decision making-processes for 40 juvenile greater flamingosPhoenicopterus roseusfledged in three Mediterranean colonies and equipped with GPS-GSM devices.ResultsContrary to the body size and the dominance hypotheses, juveniles in better body condition were more likely to migrate than those in worse conditions, which opted for a residence strategy. Flamingo probability of departure was not associated with an increase in local wind intensity, but rather with the presence of tailwinds with departure limited to night-time mostly when the wind direction aligned with the migratory destination. Moreover, a positive interaction between tailwind speed and migration distance suggested that juveniles opted for stronger winds when initiating long-distance journeys. In contrast to previous studies, the prevailing seasonal winds were only partially aligned with the migratory destination, suggesting that other factors (e.g., adults experience in mix-aged flocks, availability of suitable foraging areasen route, density-dependence processes) may be responsible for the distribution observed at the end of the first migratory movement. We found potential evidence of sex-biased timing of migration with females departing on average 10 days later and flyingca.10 km/h faster than males. Female flight speed, but not male one, was positively influenced by tailwinds, a pattern most likely explained by sexual differences in mechanical power requirements for flight (males beingca.20% larger than females). Furthermore, juveniles considerably reduced their flight speeds after 400 km from departure, highlighting a physiological threshold, potentially linked to mortality risks when performing long-distance non-stop movements.ConclusionThese results suggest that not only intrinsic factors such as individual conditions and sex, but also extrinsic factors like weather, play critical roles in triggering migratory behaviour in a partially migratory metapopulation. Furthermore, social factors, including conspecific experience, should be taken into consideration when evaluating the adaptive processes underlying migration phenology, flight performance, and final destination selection.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study estimates the scale sizes of the plasma density irregularities and the longitudinal width associated with equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) in equatorial and low-latitude regions. By analyzing amplitude scintillation S4 indices and total electron content (TEC) measured from low earth orbit (LEO) satellite’s beacon signals with 400 MHz and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L1/E1 signals with 1575.42 MHz, recorded by receivers at the KMITL station in Bangkok, Thailand (geographic; 13.73° N, 100.77°E, magnetic: 7.26°N), we investigate the characteristics of these irregularities. We collected data of 154 LEO satellite pass events during nighttime on 21 disturbed days in four equinoctial months in 2021. Based on the presence or absence of the scintillation effects on GNSS and LEO beacon signals, the events are categorized into four classes to estimate the scale size of the plasma density irregularities. The analysis suggests that events with both GNSS and LEO scintillations, as well as events with GNSS scintillation alone, occur predominantly before midnight assuming the presence of the small-scale size of the irregularities within EPB. However, events with only LEO scintillation occur throughout the whole night and some events are observed before the events with both GNSS and LEO scintillations. Post-sunset LEO scintillation alone may be attributed to the onset of EPBs developing at low altitude, while post-midnight LEO scintillation events near the magnetic equator, observed during periods of low GNSS Rate of TEC Index (ROTI) values, are associated with bottom-side ionospheric irregularities but are not linked with EPB. The findings are consistent with previous researches on the generation and decay of electron density irregularities within plasma bubbles. However, this study provides new insights by using specific data sets and analysis techniques, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the association of LEO scintillations with bottom-side ionospheric irregularities near the magnetic equator, not observed in the ROTI map.

Abstract
Background
Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare exocrine malignancy representing less than 1% of all pancreatic neoplasms. It has been reported that it responds to treatment differently from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and the treatment algorithm for acinar cell carcinoma usually depends on the stage of the respective tumor and the patient’s current status.

Case presentation
A 60-year-old man presented with upper abdominal pain and anorexia. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a large-sized hepatic mass and he was referred to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a 110-mm low-density area occupying the right hemi-liver and an enhanced mass of 70 × 56 mm in the tail of the pancreas, which seemed to directly infiltrate into the spleen. The case was diagnosed as acinar cell carcinoma with a simultaneous liver metastasis identified by liver biopsy. Upfront resection of pancreatic cancer with distant metastasis might not be considered as an optimal choice, and in this case chemotherapy was administered prior to curative resection. Chemotherapy using the modified FOLFIRINOX regimen was undertaken, resulting in a partial remission; the liver tumor reduced in size from 110 to 47 mm and the pancreatic tumor from 70 to 40 mm. The patient then safely underwent curative hepatic resection with distal pancreato-splenectomy. Histological examinations revealed small-sized atypical cells with large nuclei that had formed acinar patterns, and immunostaining with trypsin was positive in tumor cells, which was in accordance with acinar cell carcinoma. More than 3 years later, the patient is doing well without any recurrence.

Conclusion
Aggressive and curative surgery in combination with chemotherapy such as FOLFIRINOX could be a treatment option to achieve long-term survival in cases of acinar cell carcinoma with liver metastases.

AbstractConsumer attitudes towards the unlawful disposal of solid waste products in Ghana, particularly Sunyani, continue to be a challenge. The study is based on the attribution theory. A sample size of seven hundred and twenty-seven (727) was selected through convenience sampling. Data collected were analysed using the covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) technique with AMOS v24. The results revealed that three factors of task difficulty, luck and feelings under the situational factors were considered. Based on these three factors, two variables were found to be significantly related to the unlawful disposal of solid waste products, namely luck and feelings. The study also assessed media channel type as a mediator in the relationship between situational factors and unlawful disposal of solid waste products. Furthermore, the study evaluated consumer identity as a moderator of the interaction effect in the relationship between feelings and unlawful disposal of solid waste products. The media channel type as a mediator and consumer identity as a moderator were significant towards the unlawful disposal of solid waste products. This paper is pioneering, in that it generates the effects of using the theory of attribution and some intervening variables conceptualized in the context of solid waste product disposal towards unlawful disposal of solid waste products in Sunyani at the micro-level. This area is relevant to scholars, marketing-oriented firms and brand practitioners, who will be aided to lead the advocacy for the consumer solid waste product disposals starting from the point of sales in consumer buying behaviour.
A symmetry perspective of the Riemann zeros
Authors: Kalauni Pushpa , Panigrahi Prasanta K. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We study the relationship between the zeros of the Riemann zeta function and physical systems exhibiting supersymmetry, PT symmetry and SU(2) group symmetry. Our findings demonstrate that unbroken supersymmetry is associated with the presence of non-trivial zeros of the zeta function. However, for other cases, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken and the ground-state energy of the system is not zero. Moreover, we have established the manifestation of PT symmetry invariance within our supersymmetric system. In addition, our findings provide insights into a SU(2) symmetry that arises within these systems, with the Hilbert space having two-level structure.
Computational modelling of bionano interface

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The interface between inorganic and biological materials plays a crucial role in vital technological applications ranging from food processing and cosmetics to medicine but presents enormous technical challenges for computational modellers. These challenges stem from both conceptual and technical roots: the lengthscale and timescale gaps between the essential interactions and the properties of interest and the differences between the models of inorganic and biological materials. Research efforts of the last decade have led to significant advances in computational modelling of the bionano interface and allowed the construction of quantitative predictive models for both the structure of this interface and material functionalities based on descriptors obtained from the interface. In this work, we discuss advances in the field of bionano interface modelling and outline the directions of its further development.

Abstract

Context
SARS-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19 vaccines have been associated with thyroid disorders.

Objective
We analyzed the risk of thyroid eye disease (TED) following Covid-19 vaccination. This was a self-controlled case series study at a tertiary referral center for TED. A total of 98 consecutive patients with newly developed (n = 92) or reactivated (n = 6) TED occurring between January 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022, were included. TED was assessed in patients undergoing Covid-19 vaccination. Person-days were defined as exposed if TED occurred 1 to 28 days after vaccination, and unexposed if occurring outside this time window. Conditional Poisson regression models were fitted to calculate incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% CI of exposed vs unexposed. Sensitivity analyses were conducted considering different exposed periods, and effect modification by potential TED risk factors.

Results
Covid-19 vaccines were administered in 81 people, 25 (31%) of whom developed TED in exposed and 56 (69%) in unexposed periods. The IRR for TED was 3.24 (95% CI 2.01-5.20) and 4.70 (95% CI 2.39-9.23) in patients below 50 years of age. Sex, smoking, and radioiodine treatment did not modify the association between TED and vaccination. TED risk was unrelated to the number of vaccine doses, and progressively decreased over time following vaccination (P trend = .03).

Conclusion
The risk of TED was significantly increased after Covid-19 vaccination, especially in people below 50 years of age. Possible mechanisms include spike protein interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme II receptor, cross-reactivity with thyroid self-proteins, and immune reactions induced by adjuvants. We suggest monitoring of individuals undergoing Covid-19 vaccination, especially if young and at risk for autoimmunity.
Belle da Costa Greene and the Undoing of “Medieval” Studies
Authors: Lomuto Sierra 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis essay outlines the current challenges facing medieval studies by focusing on the deployment of “medieval” as a category for knowledge production. It argues that as the field confronts white supremacist medievalism and pushes for a global turn, it exposes the unsustainability of the epistemologies, methodologies, and discourses that have buttressed the formation of the “medieval.” Through an analysis of the “global medieval” archive that Belle da Costa Greene curated at the Morgan Library, this essay also demonstrates how Orientalism still lurks within the global Middle Ages. The essay concludes with an introduction of the ten essays included in this special journal issue, all of which show the ways our push for epistemological progress ultimately undoes medieval studies and other disciplinary formations that have held—or been held by—it.
Race, Medieval Studies, and Disciplinary Boundaries
Authors: Miyashiro Adam 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDebates in medieval studies about race and the global Middle Ages parallel past debates in comparative literature. Both comparative literature and medieval studies struggle with their Eurocentric origins while simultaneously trying to negotiate a non-Eurocentric approach to their respective disciplinary boundaries. While trying to globalize medieval studies, medievalists have remained in disciplinary silos, especially in regard to a transnational and transtemporal understanding of race. This article's author argues that a comparative approach to periodization, rather than holding onto a concept of the “medieval,” is a more productive way to understand premodern race.

We propose an on-board integrated optics (OBO) scheme within a 50G/10G combo passive optical network (PON) system, for the first time to our best knowledge, which can achieve high port density, low cost, and low power consumption required by the 50G PON system. We provide an OBO scheme that integrates record-high power distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, low insertion loss silicon modulators, a planar lightwave circuit wavelength-division multiplexer, and avalanche photodiodes on a single board, which can solve key issues faced by the demand of coexistence and smooth evolution from 10G to 50G PON for global access network operators. In this system, the slope efficiency of the lasers has been optimized at high temperatures, allowing the output power of the lasers to achieve a record-breaking 23.5 dBm at 1577 and 1342 nm, while reducing cooling power consumption to realize low carbon emission in access networks. We developed a low-loss broadband silicon modulator to meet the large power budget and high data rate requirements of 50G PON by optimizing doping parameters and constructing electrodes that match the driver. This silicon modulator has a 6.6 dB insertion loss and an electro-optic bandwidth of more than 38 GHz, making it the ideal silicon modulator for 50G PON systems. In addition, we verify the end-to-end performance, including receiver sensitivity in the upstream direction and the dispersion penalty in the downstream direction. This suggests that the OBO scheme can satisfy the criteria of the 50G PON system according to the ITU-T G.9804 standard series.
Adherence to self-care practices and associated factors among heart failure patients in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Bekele Firomsa , Tafese Lalise , Demsash Addisalem Workie , Tesfaye Hana , Labata Busha Gamachu , Fekadu Ginenus 
Published: August 2023

Background
Heart failure is the leading cause of hospital stays, medical expenses, and fatalities, and it is a severe problem for worldwide public health. Successful heart failure therapy requires a high level of self-care as well as devotion to different elements of the treatment plan. Despite the positive effects of heart failure self-care on health outcomes, many heart failure patients engage in insufficient self-care behaviors. Additionally, conflicting information has been found regarding the prevalence and predictors of self-care behaviors in Ethiopia. As a result, this review’s objective is to provide an overview of the most recent studies on Ethiopian heart failure patients’ self-care practices.

Methods
We have used four databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar. Eventually, the final systematic review and meta-analysis contained eleven papers that matched the eligibility requirements. A systematic data extraction check list was used to extract the data, and STATA version 14 was used for the analysis. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 tests and the Cochrane Q test statistic. To examine publication bias, a funnel plot, Egger’s weighted regression, and Begg’s test were utilized.

Result
The pooled magnitude of adherence to self-care was 35.25% (95%CI: 27.36–43.14). The predictors of good adherence to self-care behavior includes heart failure knowledge (odds ratio = 5.26; 95% CI, 3.20–8.65), absence of depressive symptoms (odds ratio = 3.20;95% CI,1.18–8.70), higher level of education (AOR = 3.09;95%CI,1.45–6.61), advanced New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (odds ratio = 2.66; 95% CI, 1.39–5.07), absence of comorbidity(odds ratio = 2.92; 95% CI,1.69–5.06) and duration of heart failure symptoms(odds ratio = 0.37; 95% CI, 0.24–0.58).

Conclusion
The extent of self-care behavior adherence is shown to be low among heart failure patients. This study showed a positive relationship between self-care behavior and factors such as proper understanding of heart failure, the absence of co-morbidity, depression, higher levels of education, a longer duration of heart failure symptoms, and advanced classes of heart failure disease. Therefore, a continuous health education should be given for patients to enhance their understanding of heart failure. Besides, special attention should be given for patients having co-morbidity and depressive symptom.

Introduction
Drug-related problems (DRPs) are common in clinical practice and occur at all stages of the medication process. The major factor contributing to DRPs is prescription, although patients’ poor adherence to treatment is also a significant factor. This study evaluated type 2 diabetes outpatients in a hospital in Vietnam for drug-related problems (DRPs) and related variables.

Methods
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 495 outpatients who met the criteria and 157 people agreed to participate in the interview. Medication order review and medication adherence review were used to identify DRPs. The types of DRP were based on the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) categories version 9.0. The identification and assessment DRPs were carried out by clinical pharmacists and get agreed upon by physicians who had not directly prescribed patients who participated in the study.

Results
A total of 762 DRPs were identified via prescribing review process, the average number of DRP on each prescription was 1.54±1.07, while 412 DRPs were determined through patient interviewing. The most frequent DRPs were “ADR (Adverse Drug Reaction) occurring” (68.8%). The main causes were “patient is unable to understand instructions properly” or “patient is not properly instructed”, “patient stores insulin inappropriately”, “patient decides to use unnecessary drugs” and “patient intentionally uses/takes less drug than prescribed or does not take the drug at all for whatever reason” which accounted for 65.0%, 41.4%, 38.2%, and 28.7%, respectively. From the prescribing review, the most observed DRPs were “Inappropriate drug according to guidelines/formulary” and “No or incomplete drug treatment in spite of existing indication”, accounting for 45.0% and 42.9%, respectively. There was a significant association between age (OR 3.38, 95% CI: 1.01–11.30), duration of diabetes (OR 3.61, 95%CI: 1.11–11.74), presence of comorbidity (OR 5.31, 95%CI: 1.97–14.30), polypharmacy (OR: 2.95, 95%CI: 1.01–8.72) and DRPs. In patients, poor knowledge of antidiabetic agents was the main reason to lack adherence and occurring ADR (OR 2.73, 95%CI: 1.32–5.66, p = 0.007 and OR 2.49, 95%CI: 1.54–4.03, p = 0.001 respectively).

Conclusion
DRPs occurred in the prescribing stage and relating to patient’s behavior of drug administration was high. Clear identification of DRPs and the associated factors are essential for building the intervention process to improve effectiveness and safety in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Intergenerációs társadalmi mobilitás és könyvtárhasználat
Authors: Tóth Máté 
Published: August 2023

A könyvtár magát hagyományosan olyan intézményrendszernek tekinti, amely hozzájárul a különböző státuszú, vagyoni helyzetű csoportok esélyegyenlőségének megteremtéséhez. Mindenkinek hozzáférést kínál az információs javakhoz, azoknak is, akik társadalmi helyzetük, vagy addig felhalmozott kulturális tőkéjük okán szűkölködnek abban.
A 2017-ben és 2019-ben Az én könyvtáram projekt keretében, országos reprezentatív mintán elvégzett kutatások igazolták, hogy a felsőfokú végzettségűek körében magasan felülreprezentáltak a könyvtárhasználók. Ez azt sugallja, hogy a könyvtár a szociális funkciójának csak igen korlátozott mértékben képes eleget tenni. A tanulmány arra keresi a választ, hogy a könyvtárhasználathoz való viszony hogyan alakul több generációt átívelően, közvetve pedig hozzájárul-e ahhoz, hogy az alacsonyabb végzettségű felnőttek gyerekei képesek legyenek nagyobb szeletét élvezni az információs javakhoz való hozzáférés adta előnyöknek.
A 2017-es és 2019-es országos olvasáskutatás adatai alapján a szülők iskolai végzettségének függvényében vizsgálom a gyermekek könyvtárakhoz való viszonyulásának alakulását. A felsőfokú végzettségű szülők gyerekei nagyobb arányban válnak-e könyvtárhasználókká? Mennyiben tudható be mindez a szülők könyvtárhoz való viszonyának és mennyiben külső tényezők függvénye?
