Impact of digital village development on farmers’ human settlement environment improvement behaviors
Authors: Zhao Guodong , Sun Hongwu 
Published: January 2025

IntroductionAs digital village construction advances, digital technologies are gradually permeating various aspects of rural life, providing a new avenue for improving rural human settlement environment (RHSE).MethodsWe matched the 2020 and 2021 data from the China Land Economic Survey (CLES) with the County Digital Rural Index (CDRI), exploring how digital village development (DVD) influences farmers’ human settlement environment improvement behaviors (HSEIBs).Results and discussionResearch findings indicate that DVD has significantly increased farmers’ probability of disposing of domestic wastewater scientifically and adopting sanitation toilets, with robustness checks conducted. Further analysis reveals that this positive impact is primarily realized through effects of enriching villages, enriching villagers and social interaction. The analysis of heterogeneity reveals that in households with a higher proportion of seniors, DVD significantly raises the usage of sanitation toilets but does not significantly promote the scientific treatment of domestic wastewater. Additionally, when we subdivide DVD into different dimensions, we find that the digitalization of rural infrastructure, rural economy, rural life and rural governance can effectively facilitate farmers’ HSEIBs, but the digitalization of rural governance has the least impact. Our findings not only enrich the field of digital well-being research but also shed light on the digital divide problem in rural China.

IntroductionAnemia has been shown to be an independent predictor of disease progression and death in tuberculosis (TB) patients, significantly impacting TB in several ways. This dual burden poses significant challenges for TB control efforts. However, the mechanism by which anemia influences disease severity, bacterial burden, and TB treatment outcomes remains poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we aimed to compare bacterial burdens, disease severity, and TB treatment outcomes in TB patients with or without anemia. Participants were recruited from Chennai, South India, as part of the prospective Effect of Diabetes on Tuberculosis Severity (EDOTS) study conducted from February 2014 to August 2018. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin (Hb) levels &lt;13 g/dL and &lt;12 g/dL for males and females, respectively. We employed chest X-rays to assess bilateral lung and cavitary diseases and sputum smear grades to measure bacterial loads in TB subjects. Treatment outcomes were defined as favorable or unfavorable. Cytokine profile was measured using multiplex ELISA.ResultsThe study comprised of 483 culture-confirmed TB individuals, with 288 positives for anemia {Median Hb was 11.0 [interquartile range (IQR)], 10.3–12.3} and 195 negatives [Median Hb was 14.3 (IQR), 13.5–15.2]. The study revealed that TB patients with anemia had significantly higher bacterial loads [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR), 4.01; 95% CI, 2.22–6.63; p &lt; 0.001], cavitary lung lesions [aPR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.95–5.68; p &lt; 0.001] and unfavorable treatment outcomes [aPR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.31–2.19; p = 0.046] compared to those without anemia. Our data also show that TB is associated with significantly lower levels of type-1 cytokines (IFNγ and IL-2) but significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IFNα, and IFNβ) and pro-fibrotic factors (VEGF, EGF, FGF-2, and PDGF-AB/BB) in anemic individuals compared to those without anemia.ConclusionsThese findings highlight a clear association between anemia and increased TB severity, elevated bacterial loads, and poor treatment outcomes. Our data also suggest that anemia might be associated with the modulation of cytokine responses, which could impart a detrimental effect on TB pathogenesis.
Approximation and the Multidimensional Moment Problem
Authors: Olteanu Octav 
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to apply polynomial approximation by sums of squares in several real variables to the multidimensional moment problem. The general idea is to approximate any element of the positive cone of the involved function space with sums whose terms are squares of polynomials. First, approximations on a Cartesian product of intervals by polynomials taking nonnegative values on the entire R2, or on R+2, are considered. Such results are discussed in Lμ1R2 and in CS1×S2-type spaces, for a large class of measures, μ, for compact subsets Si, i=1,2 of the interval [0,+∞). Thus, on such subsets, any nonnegative function is a limit of sums of squares. Secondly, applications to the bidimensional moment problem are derived in terms of quadratic expressions. As is well known, in multidimensional cases, such results are difficult to prove. Directions for future work are also outlined.
Exploring Order–Disorder Transitions Using a Two-State Master Equation
Authors: Plastino Angelo , Monteoliva Diana 
Published: January 2025

In this study, we explore the order–disorder transition in the dynamics of a straightforward master equation that describes the evolution of a probability distribution between two states, p1 and p2 (with p1+p2=1). We focus on (1) the behavior of entropy S, (2) the distance D from the uniform distribution (p1=p2=1/2), and (3) the free energy F. To facilitate understanding, we introduce two price-ratios: ηS=dS/dtdF/dt and ηD=dD/dtdF/dt. They respectively define the energetic costs of modifying (1) S and (2) D. Our findings indicate that both energy costs diverge to plus and minus infinity as the system approaches the uniform distribution, marking a critical transition point where the master equation temporarily loses its physical meaning. Following this divergence, the system stabilizes itself into a new well-behaved regime, reaching finite values that signify a new steady state. This two-regime behavior showcases the intricate dynamics of simple probabilistic systems and offers valuable insights into the relationships between entropy, distance in probability space, and free energy within the framework of statistical mechanics, making it a useful case study that highlights the underlying principles of the system’s evolution and equilibrium. Our discussion revolves about the order–disorder contrast that is important in various scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, and material science, and even in broader contexts like philosophy and social sciences.

Relevance. In the Russian Federation, the population is witnessing a notable increase in the absolute number and proportion of elderly and senile individuals. Aging is recognized as a complex process involving multiple functional transformations in tissues and organs, often accompanied by a decline in the body’s adaptive capacities. With the growing proportion of older adults, the demand for dental care has significantly increased. Internal organ pathologies can alter the presentation of existing dental diseases or serve as triggers for the onset of oral conditions. A steady rise in oral mucosal diseases has been observed, linked to aging, environmental issues in specific regions, harmful habits, occupational hazards, and a tendency toward malignant transformation. Despite existing literature, the structure and prevalence of oral diseases, particularly mucosal pathologies in individuals over 60 years of age, remain underexplored. A personalized approach to diagnosing oral mucosal diseases (OMD) requires a comprehensive assessment of the clinical progression of primary, comorbid, and past conditions, while accounting for the patient’s age and sex.Materials and Methods. A primary examination was conducted at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and Periodontology of Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University to identify oral mucosal lesions. The study included 512 patients aged 18 to 89 years, comprising 167 men and 345 women. The assessment involved gathering patient complaints, medical histories, and general health status based on consultations with medical specialists. Visual evaluation of the oral mucosa was performed, along with autofluorescent stomatoscopy using the "AFS-D" device (Politron, Russia).Results. The study revealed a high prevalence of oral mucosal lesions among the adult population. Lesions were observed in 40.8% of the 512 patients, with their frequency and types varying by age and sex. The most common conditions included denture-related stomatitis, traumatic lesions, periodontal diseases, and leukoplakia.Conclusion. The analysis of data from primary patient examinations demonstrated a significant increase in oral mucosal lesions with age. While periodontal diseases and traumatic lesions were more prevalent in younger individuals, older adults showed a rise in oral mucosal conditions associated with internal organ pathologies. Additionally, there was a notable increase in precancerous oral mucosal diseases among elderly and senile patients

Relevance. Radicular cysts account for 86% of all odontogenic cysts. Recurrence rates following cystotomy and cystectomy range from 18% to 36%, and in some cases, up to 55%. The primary causes include incomplete removal of pathological tissues, damage to adjacent anatomical structures, insufficient pathogen eradication, and inadequate bone tissue regeneration.Clinical case description. This paper presents a clinical case of a large radicular cyst affecting teeth 3.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the mandible. The treatment process was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, endodontic treatment was performed on the affected teeth. Seven days after the exudation subsided, the second stage involved filling the canals with a fast-setting material (FSM) Rootdent SM DMT as a sealer, followed by the placement of silver pins. Three hours after completing the endodontic treatment, a cystectomy was performed using a proprietary method that combined guided tissue regeneration, apical resection of the affected teeth, and retrograde filling of their root canals with FSM. A one-year follow-up showed full recovery, including complete bone regeneration and no gingival scarring.Conclusion. The proposed treatment strategy for large radicular cysts has the potential to greatly minimize the need for extracting the affected teeth.

Quantify the exchange of fire – Data production on armed violence in police operations in Rio de Janeiro.
This article presents a collaborative research project between researchers and activists in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The project consisted in building a database of the so-called “ police operations”, characterized as incursions of law enforcement agencies (civilian and military) in the favelas and poor neighborhoods. Although police operations are one of the main causes of shootouts and violent deaths in Rio de Janeiro, there is no data available on these actions that could inform the public debate on public security in Rio de Janeiro. The collaborative project intends, therefore, to broaden the collective reflection on the public security problem in Brazil through the construction of data that can qualify the direction of the use of force by the State.

Le rêve d’Armand Julin (1865-1953), étoile de la statistique belge
Authors: Armatte Michel 
Published: January 2025

L’article se propose de jeter quelque lumière sur la carrière d’un statisticien belge dont la célébrité n’a jamais atteint celle de son maître Adolphe Quetelet, mais qui a marqué la période suivante du début du XXe siècle dans le domaine plus restreint de la statistique économique. Armand Julin est un juriste et politiste engagé dans l’Office du Travail, ouvert à la question sociale tout autant qu’à l’innovation méthodologique. Nous interrogeons trois de ses oeuvres les plus importantes : son histoire érudite de la statistique belge, ses travaux méthodologiques sur la statistique des prix et du commerce et les baromètres économiques dont ses traités de 1921 et 1923-26 offrent une synthèse très aboutie, et pour finir son rôle dans la mise en place et l’exploitation des enquêtes sur
les budgets ouvriers.

Background:
Patient involvement in research can help to ensure that the evidence generated aligns with their needs and priorities. In the Establishing Meaningful Patient-Centered Outcomes With Relevance for Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (EMPOWER PKD) project we aimed to identify patient-important outcomes and discuss the impact of PKD on patients.

Methods:
Nine focus groups were held with adult patients with PKD, caregivers, and clinical or research experts in PKD. We used a nominal, multi-vote technique to rank patient-important outcomes to be prioritized by future PKD research. We conducted a thematic analysis of verbatim transcriptions to identify themes regarding the impact of PKD on their daily lives. Other focus group topics included insurability and patient engagement.

Results:
Ninety patients and/or caregivers and eight clinicians and/or researchers participated in the focus groups. Nine focus groups yielded 35 outcomes important to patients which were grouped into six categories, ranked in order of importance: kidney health, comorbidities, lifestyle, psychological impact, family and awareness, and mortality. Regarding the impact of PKD on the patient’s daily lives, we identified 5 themes, listed in order of importance: psychological impact, effect on daily living, issues affecting decision-making, healthcare-related issues, and PKD-specific testing dilemmas.

Conclusions:
This study of stakeholder engagement in patients with PKD revealed important priorities and values that should be considered for future research and when caring for patients with PKD. Future research should focus on kidney health and managing comorbidities in patients with PKD. This will help to bridge the knowledge gap and develop meaningful comparative effectiveness research (CER) in PKD.
