Authors: Zhongchen Ge , Jie Han , Chen Cai 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
An important component of rural finance includes agricultural cooperatives, which have become the main economic support for rural poverty alleviation due to their active participation in government targeted poverty alleviation activities, highlighting their socio-economic status. The only financial institution in rural finance - agricultural cooperatives, which have promoted positive effects on local economic development. As a new computing method, edge computing invades the cloud into the network through services, which ensures response time and efficient reliability, and reduces system delay by applying in-depth learning. It plays a good role in alleviating the pressure of bandwidth consumption in cloud networks, as well as protecting user privacy and data security. Through the research on edge computing and deep learning technology, this paper makes the rural capital allocation market produce new financial services, and demonstrates its significant advantages. By promoting the transformation of agricultural cooperatives, it is possible to more fully ensure that rural people enjoy the fruits of reform and development. At the same time, there is a problem of uneven income distribution in the social economy. While reducing social conflicts, it is also necessary to reduce factors of instability in society, in order to encourage people to work and live happily and safely. Through practical research on the intelligent financial service methods of agricultural cooperatives, the optimal allocation of rural economic resources has been determined, providing practical knowledge support for the economic and industrial development of rural areas, and providing reasonable support for the research on rural revitalization.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background Researchers in the Netherlands proposed the Pillars for Positive Health (PPH) as a broadly encompassing health definition to support more realistic and meaningful care planning for people living with chronic disease and other life-long health conditions. The PPH was subsequently converted to a My Positive Health (MPH) spider web visualization tool. The study sought to identify opportunities for more person-centred care planning at the point of care in home care, using the MPH tool as a framework to link comprehensive assessment and dialogue-based goal-setting.Methods A modified eDelphi method was used to conduct domain mapping with a purposively sampled expert panel (n = 25). The panel consisted of researchers, health care providers, older adults and caregivers. A two-stage Delphi process was conducted, with each stage consisting of three survey rounds. In the first stage, participants were asked to map 201 elements of the interRAI Home Care (interRAI HC) comprehensive assessment tool to the six MPH domains or “No pillar of best fit”. The second stage focused on identifying opportunities to adapt or expand comprehensive assessment as it relates to the MPH domains.Results In stage 1, 189 of 201 elements reached consensus in domain mapping. These included: 80 elements for Bodily Functions, 32 for Daily Functioning, 32 for Mental Wellbeing, 24 for Quality of Life, 10 for Participation, and 1 for Meaningfulness. Ten elements were identified to have no pillar of best fit. The 12 elements that did not reach consensus in stage 1 formed the basis for Stage 2, where expert panel participants proposed four new assessment elements in Meaningfulness and Participation and 11 additional descriptors across the six MPH domains. Of these, two elements, each in both the Meaningfulness and Participation domains, and 9 of the 11 descriptors reached consensus.Conclusion Findings show that elements in the interRAI HC are oriented toward the physical, functional, and mental health domains. Consequently, complementary assessment elements and/or tools may be needed to support comprehensive assessment of ‘Meaningfulness’ and ‘Participation’ in home and community care. Additional descriptors may also be needed to aid communication regarding the understanding and application of MPH domains.

Abstract
With the rapid proliferation of IoT devices and its growing usage in safety-critical systems, securing these devices from malicious attacks has become increasingly challenging. Due to the resource-constrained nature of IoT devices, real-time software-based malware detection is difficult or infeasible. Alternatively, a promising approach is utilizing hardware malware detection techniques. In this paper, we introduce a novel Hardware Immune System (HWIS), a stand-alone, hardware-supported malware detection approach for microprocessors that leverages Artificial Immune Systems for detecting botnet activity. This technique is suitable for low-power, resource constrained and network facing embedded devices. The proposed model is capable of detecting botnet behavior with an accuracy of 96.7%, false negative rate of 6.5%, and F1-score of 0.96. We implemented and simulated the proposed architecture using 32nm low power PTM SPICE models and the Synopsys 32nm EDK and found the power and area overhead to be 2.57% and 5.25%, respectively, with no impact on delay, using a 28nm RISC-V CPU as a baseline.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two teaching models (e-learning and discussion-based learning) on the learning process of emergency department interns in relation to the use of the sedatives.
Methods: In this study, 129 interns introduced to the emergency medicine department were included in the study. These interns were randomly divided into two groups, I and II. For both groups, a pre-test based on standard parallel multiple-choice questions (MCQs) was prepared. Then, the electronic software which was prepared was distributed to the first group. For people of group II, six hours of discussion-based training was conducted for 3 consecutive weeks. At the end of the course (after 1 month), a post-test, which was the same questions as the pre-test, was obtained from interns in both groups.
Results: At the end of the study, we found a significant improvement in the learning rate of both groups all aspects of the knowledge including: science related to the use of narcotics in sedation (P = 0.01 for e-learning group and P < 0.001 for discussion based group), knowledge related to the use of intravenous anesthetics for sedation(P = 0.025 for e-learning group P < 0.001 for discussion based group), Knowledge related to definition and clinical judgments in sedation and Knowledge related to the use of Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) for sedation (P < 0.001 for both groups). However, for all the investigated results, the learning rate was significantly better in the discussion-based learning group compared to the e-learning group (P < 0.001).
Conclusion
According to the results of this study, we found using either e-learning or discussion-based learning methods increase the acquisition of sedation knowledge for emergency department students. However, the discussion-based method have better results on the learning process of the interns.

Abstract
The secondary metabolites of indigenous plants have significant allelopathic inhibitory effects on the growth and development of invasive alien plants. Methyl palmitate (MP) and methyl linolenate (ML) of Humulus scandens root extracts were used as exogenous allelopathic substances. The research investigated the differences of allelopathic effects of MP and ML on the growth of seedlings of Alternanthera philoxeroides, and calculated their morphological characteristics, biomass, physiological indicators and the response index (RI). The synthetical allelopathic index (SE) of 1mmol/L MP was the smallest (-0.26) and the allelopathic inhibition was the strongest; therefore, it was selected as a 13C-labeled allelochemical. The distribution of 1mmol/L MP in different parts of A. philoxeroides and the correlation between the biomass ratios of roots, stems and leaves and the 13C content were studied by 13C stable isotope tracing experiments. Atom percent excess (APE) between roots, stems and leaves of A. philoxeroides treated with 1mmol/L MP were significantly different in terms of magnitude, with leaves (0.17%) > roots (0.12%) > stems (0.07%). The root, stem and leaf biomass ratios of invasive weeds had great significant positive correlation with 13C content (p < 0.01, R2 between 0.96 and 0.99). This current research provides a new idea and method for the control of A. philoxeroides, but large-scale popularization remains to be studied.

Abstract
Background: Globally, lung cancer is one of the foremost reasons of death from malignancy. Despite recent improvements in 5-year OS, it is still not ideal despite the diversification of treatment options. The process of apoptosis refers to the death of cells by programmed death. Under normal circumstances, damaged cells can be removed by apoptosis. However, when cancer occurs, these damaged cells will not be removed due to the deficiency of apoptosis of cancer cells, thus leading to the formation of the cancer.
Results: As a result of the present study, 134 lung cancer-related genes were found to be differentially expressed between lung adenocarcinomas and normal lungs. There are two subtypes of LUAD on the basis of the DEGs. As a next step in the forecasting value evaluation of such apoptosis-related regulatory factors, in the process of developing an 8-gene risk signature, we conducted a Cox univariate analysis and a LASSO Cox regression analysis. The low- and high-risk sufferers were created for all patients with LUAD in TCGA cohort. Contrary to the high-risk sufferers, the low-risk LUAD sufferers held a remarkably ameliorated OS (P = 0.008). GSE72094 was used as verification and similar results were obtained. The risk score was determined to be a standalone predictor of OS among LUAD sufferers when combined with clinical features. Immuno-related genes were bounteous in high-risk patients, but their immune status was diminished based on the GO and KEGG analysis. Briefly, apoptosis-related genes are critical to cancer immunity and could be possible to foresee LUAD's medical prognosis.
Conclusions: Apoptosis-related genes play an important role in lung adenocarcinoma. This experiment provides a new gene marker for predicting the prognosis of LUAD patients.
Basic physics predicts stronger high cloud radiative heating with warming

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Radiative heating of clouds, particularly those in the upper troposphere, alters temperature gradients in the atmosphere, affecting circulation and precipitation in today's and future climates. However, the response of cloud radiative heating to global warming remains largely unknown. We study changes to cloud radiative heating profiles in a warmer climate, identify physical mechanisms responsible for these changes, and develop a theory based on well-understood physics to predict them. Our approach involves a stepwise procedure that builds upon a simple hypothesis of an upward shift in cloud radiative heating at constant temperature, gradually incorporating additional physical effects. We find that cloud radiative heating intensifies as clouds move upward, despite minimal changes in cloud properties and temperatures. We attribute this intensification to a decrease in air density, which often overcompensates the decrease in high cloud fraction with warming in idealized multi-model simulations in radiative-convective equilibrium. Furthermore, this mechanism is confirmed in a 15-year satellite-derived dataset. The density-mediated increment in cloud radiative heating may increase the role of high clouds in controlling atmospheric flows in a warmer climate. Moreover, a narrowing of the spread in model-simulated cloud radiative heating highlight an actionable path to reduce uncertainties in regional climate change projections.
Chaotic Vibration Control of a Composite Cantilever Beam
Authors: Liu Xiaopei , Sun Lin 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
In this research, an adaptive control strategy adapted from Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control is established and applied in chaotic vibration control of a multiple-dimension nonlinear dynamic system of a laminated composite cantilever beam. The 3rd order shearing effect on the vibration of the beam is considered in the nonlinear dynamic model establishment, and the Hamilton principle as well as the Galerkin method is employed. It is discovered that a multi-dimensional nonlinear dynamic system of the cantilever beam needs to be considered for accurate vibration estimation. Therefore, the control strategy appropriate for the chaotic vibration control of a multiple-dimension system of the laminated composite beam is necessary, and then proves to be effective in chaotic vibration control in numerical simulation.
Optimizing Diagnostic Methods and Stem Cell Transplantation Outcomes in Pediatric Bone Marrow Failure: A 50-Year Single Center Experience
Authors: Vissers Lotte , Burg Mirjam van der , Lankester Arjan , Smiers Frans , Mohseny Alexander 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose: Peripheral cytopenia, a frequent presenting symptom in pediatric patients, can be caused by bone marrow failure (BMF). In most cases, reversible causes such as iron deficiency or viral infections underly transient BMF. However, timely identification of patients with non-reversible BMF is of crucial importance to reduce the risks of invasive infections and bleeding complications. In these patients, BMF can be caused by a wide spectrum of underlying diseases including (pre)malignant disease, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and (idiopathic) aplastic anemia (AA). Most pediatric patients with severe persistent cytopenia, independent of the underlying cause, are offered allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as curative therapy. Here we report on our management guidelines and HSCT outcomes of pediatric BMF patients.
Methods: We formulated recommendations based on this 50 years’ experience, which were implemented at our center in 2017. By analysis of the HSCT cohort of 2017-2023, the 5-year outcome data is presented and compared to historical outcome data to pinpoint improvements and future challenges. In addition, outcomes of patients transplanted for an identified IBMFS is compared to AA outcomes to underline the often multiorgan disease in IBMFS with implications for long-term survival.
Results: Overall and event-free survival of pediatric patients with irreversible BMF has improved tremendously independent of the underlying cause for BMF. This improvement is mainly related to better survival in the first months after HSCT. The long-term survival after HSCT is lower in IBMFS patients as compared to AA patients.
Conclusions: Unbiased protocolized in-depth diagnostic strategies are crucial to increase the frequency of identifiable causes within the heterogeneous group of pediatric BMF. A comprehensive approach to identify the cause of BMF can prevent treatment delay and be useful to tailor treatment and follow-up protocols.

Abstract
Such as silicon and glass and other hard brittle materials have strong inertness and chemical stability, are the ideal substrate for the preparation of micro-channel. In order to realize high precision and high-efficiency machining of hard and brittle materials micro-channel, the author innovatively proposed a new technology called template-based electrophoretically assisted micro-ultrasonic machining (TBEPAMUSM). The micro-channel shape punch-pin was transferred to the workpiece by micro-ultrasonic machining (MUSM). Due to the electrophoretic characteristics of ultrafine abrasive particles, applying DC field can guarantee the existence of the ultrafine abrasive in machining area. Four process parameters (Average particle size, Particle concentration, Ultrasonic power and Electrophoretic DC voltage) single - factor experiment and orthogonal experiment were carried out for TBEPAMUSM. The single - factor experimental study found that: 1) The increase of average particle size and ultrasonic power can effectively improve the material removal rate (MRR), but the surface roughness (SR) also decreases. 2)The increase of abrasive concentration will reduce the SR, but suitable concentration can maximize the MRR. 3) When suitable DC voltage were introduced, the MRR and SR can be effectively improved. The orthogonal experiment results show that average particle size has the greatest effect on both SR and MRR. Considering the balance between machining quality and machining efficiency, the optimal parameters were as follows: ultrasonic power 70%, average abrasive particle size 18 µm, abrasive concentration 18%, DC voltage 40 V.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) plays important roles in the human body. Wheat grain provides the main diet for billions of people worldwide but is low in Ca concentrations. Here, grain Ca concentration (GCaC) of 471 wheat accessions was determined in four field environments. The wheat accessions for the Huang-Huai-Hai plain, the major wheat production region in China, contained lowest mean values for GCaC. Phenotypic data was further used for a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a wheat 660 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Twelve quantitative trait locus (QTLs) for GCaC were identified on chromosomes 1A, 1D, 2A, 3B, 6A, 6D, 7A, and 7D, which was significant in at least two environments. Haplotype analysis revealed that the phenotypic difference between the haplotypes of TraesCS6D01G399100 was significant (P ≤ 0.05) across four environments, suggesting it as an important candidate gene for GCaC.

Abstract

Purpose Financial toxicity is a contributor to the psychosocial burden of cancer care. There is no consensus measure of financial toxicity, however, recent studies have adopted the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST). Despite its growing popularity, data on the responsiveness to change of the COST are lacking. To address this gap in the literature, we performed a sequential mixed-methods study of people with multiple myeloma.Methods In the quantitative phase of the study, we collected COST scores at two time points approximately 8 weeks apart from 72 patients. In the qualitative phase, we conducted semi-structured interviews with a subset of 12 patients who reported the largest changes in COST scores. The qualitative data were analyzed using a deductive coding scheme developed using the Framework Method in the context of a commonly cited conceptual model of financial toxicity.Results The median absolute change in COST scores was 4 points (IQR 2–6). Only 13% of the sample had the same COST scores at both assessments; 38% had an improved score and 50% had a worsened score. Only, seven of the twelve patients (58%) interviewed reported changes to one or more of the constructs in the conceptual model of financial toxicity. Most commonly, changes to out-of-pocket costs were reported (5/12). Changes to non-medical expenses (n = 2) and subjective financial distress without changes to objective financial burden (n = 2) were also reported.Conclusion Additional research is needed to explicate changes in COST scores over time.

Abstract
The long-term physicochemical responses of aeolian sandy soil aggregates to different crop rotation patterns are poorly understood. Here, we collected soil samples from the 0–20 cm tillage layer of continuous maize crop and alfalfa–corn rotation plots situated on the edge of the Zhangye Oasis, Northwest China. These samples were analyzed to quantify the influence that both cropping patterns have on the structure, carbon content, and nitrogen content of native aeolian sandy soils. When compared with long-term continuous maize cropping, planting using a maize–alfalfa rotation system significantly increased the mass fraction of macro-aggregates with sizes of >2 mm and 0.25–2 mm from 8.74 % to 12.08 % and 19.1 % to 21.21 %, respectively, but decreased the mass fraction of micro-aggregates (0.053–0.25 mm) from 11.57 % to 8.09 %. Further, there was no significant difference in the content of silt and clay particles between each system. The maize–alfalfa rotation increased the stability of aggregates from 0.32 to 0.37, representing an increase of 15.61 %. Soil organic carbon, inorganic carbon, and total nitrogen were mainly enriched in macro-aggregates with sizes of >2 mm, and silt and clay fractions for both cropping patterns. Implementation of a rotation pattern increased organic carbon contents by 27.21 %, 25.62 %, 26.67 %, and 27.58 %, inorganic carbon contents by 14.40 %, 4.53 %, 53.33 %, and 20.95 %, and total nitrogen contents by 14.40 %, 4.53 %, 53.33 %, and 20.95 % in aggregate particle sizes of >2 mm, 0.25–2 mm, 0.053–0.25 mm, and <0.053 mm, respectively, when compared to continuous corn cropping. Total nitrogen content increased by 29.72 %, 7.02 %, 4.17 %, and 50.00 %, respectively, for these particle size ranges. Maize–alfalfa crop rotation can therefore effectively improve soil aggregate composition and aggregate stability, alongside organic carbon content, inorganic carbon content, total nitrogen content, and their storage capacity. This system thus represents a soil cultivation technique that can increase the soil carbon sequestration capacity in the oasis zone of Northwest China.
