Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background: The association between a body shape index (ABSI) and abdominal aortic calcification(AAC) is still unclear, so we tried to prove the association between ABSI and AAC in the general population in this cross-sectional study. Methods: After excluding participants with missing data on height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and AAC, we finally selected 3,140 participants aged 40-80 years from the 2013-2014 National Healthand Nutrition Examination Survey. Using multivariate logistic regression and receiver operatingcharacteristic (ROC) curves to test the association between ABSI and AAC.
Results: Participants (median age: 58.0 years; 48.3% men) were divided into two groups by the optimal cutoff point of ABSI: higher ABSI (> 0.84) and lower ABSI (≤ 0.84). Participants with higher ABSI showed significantly higher proportion of AAC than those with lower ABSI (39.8%vs 23.7%, P< 0.001). Participants with higher ABSI had an increased risk of developing AAC in crude model (ABSI as a continuous variable: OR = 2.485, 95% CI: 2.099-2.942, P < 0.001; as a categorical variable: OR = 2.132, 95% CI: 1.826-2.489, P < 0.001), while ABSI was still independently associated withAAC in adjusted models (all adjusted P < 0.05). Further subgroup analyses showed that higher ABSI was consistently associated with AAC in subgroups with sex, age, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, sleep disorder, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P for interaction > 0.05). While inother subgroups, the association was no longer synchronized. The ROC showed that the area under the curve of ABSI was significantly higher than height, weight, BMI, WC and waist-to-height ratio(WHtR).
Conclusions: Higher ABSI was independently associated with higher risk of AAC, anddiscriminant ability of ABSI for AAC was significantly higher than height, weight, BMI, WCand 3 WHtR.
When the implementation of water safety plans fail: rethinking the approach to water safety planning following a serious waterborne outbreak and implications for subsequent water sector reforms
Authors: Graham Jim , Russell Kathryn , Gilpin Brent 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Water suppliers in New Zealand have been preparing the water safety plans (WSPs) since 2005; large drinking water-associated outbreaks of campylobacteriosis occurred in Darfield in 2012 and in Havelock North in 2016. This paper reviews the WSP that was in place for Havelock North, and analyses why it failed to prevent this outbreak. The risk assessment team completing the WSP underestimated the risks to human health of contamination events, while overestimating the security of the groundwater and bore heads. Historical Escherichia coli transgressions were dismissed as likely despite sampler or testing errors, rather than important warning signals. The outbreak was a consequence of multiple factors including an untreated supply, a local animal faecal source, limitations to the aquifer integrity and bore head protection, and a failure to proactively respond to a flooding event. The overarching issue was a focus on narrow compliance with the Health Act rather than the use of the WSP as a valuable tool to proactively understand and manage public health risks. New Zealand plans to focus on the ability of an organisation to manage risk, with the emphasis on promoting conversations with water suppliers about integrated risk management rather than focusing solely on the preparation of a WSP.

Abstract

Ghed region is located in the deep western part of Gujarat state, having the cup shape geometry. The Ozat River begins near the Gir forest's hilly part and moves towards the river mouth near Navi Bandar. The part before the river mouth is called Ghed, near the coastal line. The inundation in this region occurred due to higher coastal line and cup shape geometry with an area of more than 200 km2. This research emphasized early warning of the local community aside from the region during the peak flow condition. The hydrological engineering centre-river analysis system software developed the hydrodynamic model for FEWS (flood early warning system). The model has been validated with observed water depth data at four locations from the river reach area for more precision. In this regard, various statistics have been performed to compare the observed and modelled data. The result depicts the 19 h of leg time available to evacuate the local community. After that, water takes 115 h more time to reach the river mouth due to cup-shaped region filling. This research helps the administration with the decision-making system and establishes new hydraulic structures.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
With the focus on limiting greenhouse gas emissions, microalgae-based technology is a promising approach for wastewater treatment, combining cost-effective operation, nutrient recovery, and assimilation of CO2. In addition, membrane technology supports process intensification and wastewater reclamation. Based on a bibliometric analysis, this paper evaluated the literature on membrane photobioreactors to highlight promising areas for future research. Specifically, efforts should be made on advancing knowledge of interactions between algae and bacteria, analysing different strategies for membrane fouling control and determining the conditions for the most cost-effective operation. The Scopus® database was used to select documents from 2000 to 2022. A set of 126 documents were found. China is the country with the highest number of publications, whereas the most productive researchers belong to the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain). The analysis of 50 selected articles provides a summary of the main parameters investigated, that focus in increasing the biomass productivity and nutrient removal. In addition, microalgal-bacterial membrane photobioreactor seems to have the greatest commercialisation potential. S-curve fitting confirms that this technology is still in its growth stage.

Authors: Büscher Rebekka , Sander Lasse B , Nuding Mattis , Baumeister Harald , Teismann Tobias 
Published: September 2023

Background
Digital formats have the potential to enhance accessibility to care for individuals with suicidal ideation. However, digital self-help interventions have faced limitations, including small effect sizes in reducing suicidal ideation, low adherence, and safety concerns.

Objective
Therefore, we aimed to develop a remote blended cognitive behavioral therapy intervention that specifically targets suicidal ideation by blending video therapy with web-based self-help modules. The objective of this paper is to describe the collaborative development process and the resulting intervention and treatment rationale.

Methods
First, we compiled intervention components from established treatment manuals designed for people with suicidal ideation or behavior, resulting in the development of 11 drafts of web-based modules. Second, we conducted a qualitative study, involving 5 licensed psychotherapists and 3 lay counselors specialized in individuals with suicidal ideation who reviewed these module drafts. Data were collected using the think-aloud method and semistructured interviews, and a qualitative content analysis was performed. The 4 a priori main categories of interest were blended care for individuals with suicidal ideation, contents of web-based modules, usability of modules, and layout. Subcategories emerged inductively from the interview transcripts. Finally, informed by previous treatment manuals and qualitative findings, we developed the remote blended treatment program.

Results
The participants suggested that therapists should thoroughly prepare the web-based therapy with patients to tailor the therapy to each individual’s needs. Participants emphasized that the web-based modules should explain concepts in a simple manner, convey empathy and validation, and include reminders for the safety plan. In addition, participants highlighted the need for a simple navigation and layout. Taking these recommendations into account, we developed a fully remote blended cognitive behavioral therapy intervention comprising 12 video therapy sessions and up to 31 web-based modules. The treatment involves collaboratively developing a personalized treatment plan to address individual suicidal drivers.

Conclusions
This remote treatment takes advantage of the high accessibility of digital formats while incorporating full sessions with a therapist. In a subsequent pilot trial, we will seek input from individuals with lived experience and therapists to test the feasibility of the treatment.

Published: September 2023

Background
Transmasculine people are at risk for HIV; yet few HIV prevention interventions have been developed for this population. We adapted an existing HIV prevention smartphone app for cisgender men who have sex with men to meet the sexual health needs of transmasculine people.

Objective
This study aims to assess the acceptability of the adapted app, Transpire, among transmasculine people living in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington, DC, via in-depth interviews of participants in a pilot feasibility trial.

Methods
Participants used the Transpire app for 3 months as part of a pilot study of the app. Eligible participants were aged 18-34 years. There were no eligibility criteria with respect to race and ethnicity, and most participants were non-Hispanic White. At the end of the follow-up, participants were invited to participate in web-based in-depth interviews to discuss their experiences using the app and feedback on design and content. Interviews were transcribed and coded using a constant comparative approach. Three main themes were identified: sexual behavior, app experiences and feedback, and pre-exposure prophylaxis.

Results
Overall, participants found the app acceptable and thought that it would be a useful tool for themselves and their peers. Participants reported appreciating having a comprehensive information source available to them on their phones and reported learning more about HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and pre-exposure prophylaxis via the app. They also reported appreciating the inclusive language that was used throughout the app. Although the app included some resources on mental health and substance use, participants reported that they would have appreciated more resources and information in these areas as well as more comprehensive information about other health concerns, including hormone therapy. Representative quotes are presented for each of the identified themes.

Conclusions
There is a desire to have greater access to reliable sexual health information among transmasculine people. Mobile apps like Transpire are an acceptable intervention to increase access to this information and other resources. More evidence is needed, however, from more racially and ethnically diverse samples of transmasculine people.
Threefold Ambidexterity of Agribusiness: Leadership, Market Orientation, and Structural Balance
Authors: Waqas Muhammad , Yahya Farzan , Ahmed Ammar , Muñoz José E. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The main objective of the study is to examine the complementary and ambidextrous effects of leadership on organizational ambidexterity along with the moderating role of market orientation (MO). Using survey data from a sample of 430 agribusiness firms, we found that excess humility leads to an imbalance between exploration and exploitation. This detrimental effect of superfluous humility can be mitigated when the charisma co-exists with humility and the ambidextrous effect of these two traits have an advantage beyond their individual effect. Furthermore, balanced MO improves organizational ambidexterity more effectively compared to the individual effects of responsive or proactive MO. Results also show that ambidextrous MO positively moderates the relationship between CEO charismatic-humble leadership and organizational ambidexterity. Besides the aforementioned theoretical contributions, this study has certain managerial implications. The findings suggest that CEOs can improve organizational ambidexterity with their charisma and humility. Additionally, strong visions of charismatic leaders and continuous recognition from humble leaders are necessary for contextual ambidextrous outcomes.
Does new infrastructure outperform old infrastructure in China’s Agricultural Specialization: an empirical examination based on “One village One product”
Authors: Han Hongyun , Yuan Zhen , Zou Kai 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The realization of agricultural specialization in is often limited by the development of infrastructure, which is indicated by transaction costs, transportation conditions, and distance to markets; however, this might be remedied by institutional arrangements and collective action, as well as the development of internet and information technology. By using the data of China’s “One village, One product”, this article aims to examine the roles of new infrastructure and old infrastructure in agricultural specialization in China. In particular, whether new infrastructure of the emerging Internet and information technology can help these villages and towns to further expand their markets limited by old infrastructure is of great concern to us. The empirical results show that agricultural specialization is jointly determined by market distance and market scale, while internet and information technology itself can help in reducing the impact of market distances, the Internet and information technology reinforce the role of the market, which suggests that the Internet and information technology itself has not increased agricultural specialization in regions with unfavorable market conditions. Further policies facilitating new infrastructure are needed in remote villages and areas with backward markets to narrow location-induced inequalities by improving infrastructure and increasing public participation.

Published: September 2023

Malaysia was badly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in February 2020 and the first Movement Control Order (MCO) was announced a month later. Since then, almost all social and economic sectors have been affected including the education sector. The problem emerged when not all students could afford to buy the equipment and subscription to the Internet, especially those who come from B40 and M40 groups. Realizing the urgent need to address the problem, the government agencies and a few corporate bodies including the Selangor State Government, TM, and Digi have come out with immediate solutions by providing special packages for the Internet data plans to B40 and M40 groups. The purpose of this proposal is to review the impact of Internet Access and Accessibility Initiatives in Facilitating Students’ M40 and B40 groups’ needs during the COVID-19 Prevention Measure Period. By exploring existing scholars from UTAUT model components and the effect of demographic profile towards behavioral intention, this research pursues to fill up the gap in the literature to review the impact of internet access among M40 and B40 groups of students. The proposed research design for this study is a quantitative approach, whereby this research will be conducted by distributing a survey questionnaire to those who have received the special packages for the Internet data plans. It is expected that input from respondents can be used to improve the effectiveness of these initiatives and to heighten the awareness among students on the importance of education for their future success.

Published: September 2023

The study examines the challenges faced by Investigation Officers (IOs) at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, with an increasing number of cases impacting their job satisfaction. Despite this, there have been limited studies looking into how job stress, work-life balance, and work environment impact IOs' job satisfaction. Thus, a study takes place to investigate the impact of job stress, work-life balance, and work environment on their satisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to 164 respondents from MACC Headquarters in Putrajaya and MACC’s states’ offices and analyzed using SPSS V23. Multiple regression analyses were conducted and results showed a positive relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction, and negative relationships between job stress and job satisfaction, as well as work environment and job satisfaction. The study recommends the MACC's management team consider improvements in career paths, fair compensation, and rewards to enhance job satisfaction among IOs. It also suggests promoting better communication between IOs and the agency to address their needs and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Alignment Between 24-h Light-Dark and Activity-Rest Rhythms Is Associated With Diabetes and Glucose Metabolism in a Nationally Representative Sample of American Adults
Authors: Xiao Qian , Durbin John , Bauer Cici , Yeung Chris Ho Ching , Figueiro Mariana G. 
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE
The alignment between environmental stimuli (e.g., dark, light) and behavior cycles (e.g., rest, activity) is an essential feature of the circadian timing system, a key contributor to metabolic health. However, no previous studies have investigated light-activity alignment in relation to glycemic control in human populations.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The analysis included ∼7,000 adults (aged 20–80 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2011–2014) with actigraphy-measured, multiday, 24-h activity and light data. We used phasor analysis to derive phasor magnitude and phasor angle, which measures coupling strength and phase difference between the activity-rest and light-dark cycles, respectively. We used multinomial logistic regression and multiple linear regression to study phasor magnitude and phasor angle in relation to diabetes (primary outcome) and multiple secondary biomarkers of glycemic control.

RESULTS
Lower alignment strength (i.e., a shorter phasor magnitude) and more delayed activity relative to the light cycle (i.e., a larger phasor angle) were both associated with diabetes. Specifically, compared with individuals in the quintiles indicating the most proper alignment (Q5 for phasor magnitude and Q1 for phasor angle), those in the quintiles with the most impaired alignment had a &gt;70% increase in the odds of diabetes for phasor magnitude (odds ratio 1.76 [95% CI 1.39, 2.24]) and for phasor angle (1.73 [1.34, 2.25]). Similar associations were observed for biomarkers for glucose metabolism. The results were generally consistent across diverse sociodemographic and obesity groups.

CONCLUSIONS
The alignment pattern between 24-h activity-rest and light-dark cycles may be a critical factor in metabolic health.
Research on structural damage identification and localization based on artificial neural network
Authors: Liu Yuhang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Structural health monitoring is a research hotspot in engineering, and structural damage identification is one of the key problems in structural health monitoring research. This paper proposes a study on structural damage identification and localization based on artificial neural networks, and for the problem that the learning convergence speed of the BP neural network is too slow, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the update of weights and thresholds during training and learning. In the finite element simulation, the structure's primary and secondary damage are taken as input nodes, and the optimized GA-BP neural network is used for training and identification. For the localization recognition of the primary damage of the structure, the maximum recognition relative errors of both the BP neural network and the GA-BP neural network did not exceed 5%, but the latter's accuracy was 2.63% higher than that of the former. For the localization recognition of secondary damage, the GA-BP neural network can effectively recognize 90% of the samples. The artificial neural network-based structural damage recognition localization has high recognition efficiency and accuracy, which is conducive to improving the robustness of the structural damage recognition system and is of significant help to real-time structural health monitoring.
