Abstract
Reversible proton ceramic electrochemical cells (R-PCECs), as solid-state ion devices capable of efficient power generation and energy storage in the medium temperature range, are expected to transform the global pattern of over-dependence on fossil fuels. A major obstacle to their commercial application is the lack of suitable air electrodes that can function effectively and stably in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes. Here, we report a novel triple-conducting (e−/O2−/H+) hybrid electrode, composed of a cubic perovskite phase Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ and a hexagonal phase Ba4Sr4(Co0.8Fe0.2)4O16−δ, which may meet the stringent requirements of R-PCECs in terms of activity, conductivity, and durability as an air electrode. Specifically, the corresponding single cell achieves an exciting current density of 3.73 A cm− 2 @ 1.3 V in electrolysis mode and an ultrahigh peak power density of 1.99 W cm− 2 in fuel cell mode at 650°C. Such hybrid electrode can be facilely created through tuning the ratio of A-site to B-site element contents in (Ba0.5Sr0.5)xCo0.8Fe0.2O2+x−δ precursor. In contrast to the widely applied method of creating self-assembled hybrids by breaking through material tolerance limits, the strategy of adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of the A-site/B-site not only allows for strong interactions and correlations between hybrid phases, but also efficiently modifies the phases content. A synergistic effect between the cubic and hexagonal phases presents in the hybrid electrode, which enhances the oxygen reduction and evolution reaction activity and the protonic conductivity and suppresses the thermal expansion, making it outstanding performance in terms of both oxygen activation and durability.

Abstract

47Sc could be used in SPECT imaging and is also suitable for targeted therapy of small tumors. Application of 47Sc is quite promising as theranostic with its diagnostic pair 44Sc or 43Sc. The excitation functions for the production of 47Sc and accompanying impurities via proton bombardment of natural calcium carbonate (natCaCO3) targets were evaluated experimentally and compared with previous measurements and TALYS. The integral production yields of 47Sc and also 44m,46,48Sc as a main impurity were calculated. The result’s consistency with available experimental data was checked for each reaction. Target yield was derived using the measured activity of produced radionuclides.

Abstract

Stunting poses a major issue in many developing countries, including Indonesia, with the lack of dietary intake as one of the main driving factors. Further, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still considered high, which was recorded to be about 24.4% in 2021. Each local government tried to give local food an extra supplementation to support the fostering of stunting reduction. However, the impact of the treatment using local food from the local government needs to be elucidated. Hence, this study aims to register the children with stunting in Serdang Bedagai Regency and monitor the progression of the treatment conducted by the government. The data collection was performed using StuntingDB. A total of 483 stunted children who participated were registered in StuntingDB and were divided into three groups based on treatments or stunting reduction programs. After six months of treatment, 219 stunted children data were analyzed. The results showed that all groups of children who received stunting reduction programs grew significantly. Meanwhile, the children who were given Channa Product Supplementation (CPS) experienced greater height and weight gain, compared to their counterparts. In addition, we found no significant difference in both height and weight gains between male and female children consuming CPS. Overall, our study displayed the potential of CPS to treat stunted children.

Abstract
Background
To systematically analyze the evaluation indexes of injury degree and prognostic improvement in traumatic spinal cord injury.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of 133 patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from January 2017 to August 2021. The clinical indicators collected include the following: patient gender, age, underlying diseases, time from trauma to operation, length of hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, cause of injury, whether accompanied with (or multi-segment ) spinal fracture and dislocation, combined disc herniation or not, other sites of the injury, the type of complications, spinal cord injury site, surgical methods, ASIA grade within 72 hours and 6 months after injury, whether received hyperbaric oxygen therapy or high-dose cortisol hormone therapy, mean arterial pressure 3 days after operation, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) within 72h after admission, the length of MR spinal signal change, maximum canal compression (MCC), maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC), and the BASIC score of spinal signal changes. The SPSS software was used to perform Student t-test, Chi-square test, and Logistic regression analysis on the above indicators to find the factors associated with injury severity and prognosis.
Results
1) The length of signal change (p < 0.001), MSCC (p < 0.05), MCC (p < 0.05) and NLR within 72h of injury (p < 0.01) were significantly different among groups with different degrees of TSCI injury. 2) MAP (p<0.01), NLR (p<0.01), and the initial degree of injury (p<0.05) showed significant differences between the groups of patients with improved and non-improved prognoses 6 months after TSCI injury.
Conclusions
The MRI signal change length, MSCC, MCC, and NLR within 72 h after injury are good indicators of the TSCI severity while MAP, NLR, and ASIA can be used to evaluate the prognosis of TSCI patients.
Visual body size estimation in adolescent anorexia nervosa: Behavioural and neurophysiological data suggest intact visual perception and biased emotional attention

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Body image disturbance is a key symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN), as AN patients typically report body dissatisfaction and overestimate their own body size. This study aimed to clarify whether this overestimation arises from deficits in visual perception. To this end, 36 adolescent restrictive-type AN patients and 42 matched healthy controls performed metric and depictive body size estimation (BSE) tasks. Magneto- and electroencephalography were measured during the size estimation of 66 computer-generated body pictures varying in size from underweight to overweight. Patients with AN versus controls showed overestimation across self-referential metric and depictive BSE tasks, but similar performance in a depictive BSE task without self-reference and similar early neurophysiological responses. Starting mid-latency (200 ms), AN patients showed relatively more neural activity in response to underweight body pictures and less neural activity in response to higher weight body pictures in distributed brain regions. A secondary comparison of AN patients with slight vs. distinct overestimation during self-referential BSE uncovered relatively stronger neural responses to body pictures corresponding to the estimated body mass index. These results suggest that body image disturbances in adolescent restrictive-type AN patients depend on self-reference and do not represent a deficit of visual perception, but rather biased emotional attention.

Abstract
In this study, different process types were processed on Hardox 400 steel. These processes were carried out with five different samples as heat treatment, cold forging, plasma welding, mig-mag welding and commercial sample. The aim here is to determine the changes in properties such as microstructure, microhardness and conductivity that occur in the structure of hardox 400 steel when exposed to different processes. Then, the samples affected by these changes were processed in WEDM with the box-behnken experimental design. Ra, Kerf, MRR and WWR results were analyzed in Minitab 21 program. In the continuation of the study, using these data, a prediction models were created for Ra, Kerf, MRR and WWR with DL and ELM. Anaconda program Python 3.9 version was used as a program in the optimization study. In addition, a linear regression models are presented to comparison the results. According to the results the lowest Ra values were obtained in heat-treated, cold forged, master sample, plasma welded and mig-mag welded processes, respectively. Model F value in ANOVA analysis for Ra is 86,04. Model for Ra r2 value was obtained as 0.9534. The lowest kerf values were obtained in heat-treated, cold forged, master sample, plasma welded and mig-mag welded processes, respectively. Model F value in ANOVA analysis for Kerf is 90,21. Model for Kerf r2 value was obtained as 0.9555. Contrary to Ra and Kerf, it is desirable to have high MRR values. On average, the highest MRR values were obtained in mig-mag welded, plasma welded, cold forged, master sample and heat-treated processes, respectively. Model for MRR r2 value was obtained as 0.9563. The lowest WWR values were obtained in heat-treated, cold forged, master sample, plasma welded and mig-mag welded processes, respectively. Model F value in ANOVA analysis for WWR is 92.12. Model for Kerf wwr r2 value was obtained as 0.09561. In the analysis made with artificial intelligence systems; the best test MSE value for Ra was obtained as 0.0093 in DL and the r squared value 0.9439. The best test MSE value for Kerf was obtained as 248.28 in ELM and r squared value 0.8676. The best MSE value for MRR was obtained as 0.000144 in DL and the r squared value 0.9209. The best MSE value for WWR was obtained as 0.000073 in DL and the r squared value 0.8382. As a result, it was concluded that different optimization methods can be applied according to different outputs (Ra, Kerf, MRR, WWR). It also shows that artificial intelligence-based optimization methods give successful estimation results about Ra, Kerf, MRR, WWR values. According to these results, ideal DL and ELM models have been presented for future studies.
An unusual case of isolated axillary vein injury managed successfully using indigenous resources: Case Report.
Authors: Tiwari Kritika , Gupta Shardool Vikram , kumar Jitendra , kumar Paritosh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Introduction:
Trauma to the axillary vessel is uncommon and most of the time it is associated with injury to other accompanying structures including nerves and bones. An isolated injury to the axillary vein is of very rare occurrence and it is hardly reported in the literature. There is a high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with venous injury in comparison to arterial injury. Ligation is one of the options in the case of a difficult venous injury. Reconstruction, however challenging for venous injuries, is generally preferable if possible.
Case Presentation:
We discuss a case of a 14-year-old boy who arrived in the emergency department with severe bleeding from the axilla. Most of the time, gunshot, sharp, penetrating, or warfare injuries are associated with axillary vessel injuries. But in this case, the mode of injury was very trivial and acquired while some objects got blasted off in the nearby fire during the winter season. Because the bleeding was so severe, the patient was rushed to the operating room, and the wound was explored. Indigenous-made slings of glove rings were employed for proximal and distal control of the axillary vein, and the rent in the axillary vein was repaired with a successful postoperative outcome.
Conclusion
Early recognition and intervention in cases of vascular trauma are of paramount importance to saving the limb and life of the patient. An axillary vein injury can be repaired successfully using minimal resources with a good surgical outcome.

Abstract
Asia’s largest water lagoon, Chilika Lake, located in Odisha, India, is a vital economic and environmental source for the region. For the last few decades, many studies provided fragmented reports on the rapid deterioration of environmental conditions due to climate changes from intensive urban and industrial activities. The present study, for the first time provides comprehensive information about the transition of the landscape, which had occurred in the region with their associated impact on surface temperature and ecological services. Remote sensing techniques were utilised to classify land use and land cover dynamics over a period of 30 years (1991–2021). Landsat data were used to create maps for the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and Land Surface Temperature (LST) to apprehend the spatial and temporal variability and its ecological functions. The findings revealed that the lake area shrank by around 11.7% in the last three decades, owing to the conversion of mangrove and wetland areas into agricultural and urban land. The NDVI maps revealed a decline in plant cover in the catchment region, indicating a decrease in the lake's ecological services, whereas the NDWI maps indicated a reduction in the catchment area of the lake, and these maps highlighted eutrophication spots on lake surface images due to increasing nutrient concentrations and decreased water quality in the lake. LST maps indicated a rise in surface temperature, which might be attributed to decreasing vegetative cover and water bodies, which tend to alter the lake's thermal regime. The CA-Markov model forecast map for 2026 suggested that the lake area would further decrease while urban and agricultural land would rise. The prediction map for 2021 compared to the existing map showed a slight improvement in lake levels caused by the pandemic, limited urban activity, and other possibilities.

Dimethyl fumarate or teriflunomide for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a meta-analysis of post-marketing studies
Authors: Prosperini Luca , Haggiag Shalom , Ruggieri Serena , Tortorella Carla , Gasperini Claudio 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Objective. In the absence of head-to-head comparison trials, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of two largely prescribed oral platform disease-modifying treatments for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, namely dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and teriflunomide (TRF).
Methods. We searched scientific databases to identify real world studies reporting a direct comparison of DMF versus TRF. We fitted inverse-variance weighted meta-analyses with random-effects models to estimated risk ratios (RR) of relapse, confirmed disability worsening (CDW) and treatment discontinuation.
Results. Quantitative synthesis was accomplished on 14 articles yielding 11,889 and 8,133 patients treated with DMF and TRF, respectively, with a follow-up ranging from 1 to 2.8 years. DMF was slightly more effective than TRF in reducing the short-term relapse risk (RR = –0.08, p = 0.01). Meta-regression analyses showed that such between-arm difference tends to fade in studies including younger patients and a higher proportion of treatment naïve subjects. There was no difference between DMF and TRF on the short-term risk of CDW (RR = 0.99, p = 0.69). The risk of treatment discontinuation was slightly lower with TRF than with DMF (RR = 1.07; p= 0.007) after removing one study with relevant risk of publication bias that altered the final pooled result, as also confirmed by a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis.
Discussion. Our findings suggest that DMF is associated with a lower risk of relapses than TRF, with more nuanced differences in younger naïve patients. On the other hand, TRF is associated with a lower risk of treatment discontinuation.

Abstract

Implementation of conservation planning and management strategies for threatened dung beetle species have been hampered by lack of reliable information about temporal and spatial patterns in abundance. Distinguishing “real” patterns responding to ecological processes, from “artifacts” created by sampling limitations, is not a simple task. Pitfall trap data from NeoMaps standardized surveys (2006 and 2009) were combined with environmental variables from remote sensors, and used N-mixture models to evaluate how observed changes in detection and abundance ofEurysternus impressicollis, a Vulnerable dung beetle species in northwestern Venezuela, could be attributable to differences in sampling effort or changing conditions in habitat across time. Minor temporal changes in detectability had a positive relationship with sampling effort, but a negative relationship with evapotranspiration. Sampling effort was enough to detect the species where it was present, so lack of detection in other transects are likely to represent true absences. Temporal change in abundance was explained by vegetation condition and temperature so, the low abundance recorded in 2009 were not a sampling artifact, but were likely to reflect multi-year fluctuations in environmental conditions. Also, the model allowed to explain landscape variation in abundance, being more abundant in localities with denser, more humid forest. This approach could be widely applied to pitfall data from other dung beetle monitoring programs across the world to inform conservation status assessment and guide future studies on the distribution and ecology of dung beetle threatened species.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Objective Oxidative stress (OS) is a pathogenic mechanism present in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with a systemic effect and which can alter the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study is to study the relationship between OE and quality of life in patients with stable COPD.
Patients and Methods Seventy-six subjects were studied, 54 with COPD and 22 controls. The amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum (nmol/mL) and induced sputum (nmol/mg protein) were measured as markers of systemic and bronchial OE, respectively. In addition, quality of life was measured using the St. George's questionnaire, which is specific for COPD patients.
Results Patients with COPD presented higher serum MDA levels than controls (2.98±0.03 nmol/m L vs 1.2±0.03 nmol/mL, p<0.001 respectively). An inverse association was observed between FEV1%, MDA levels in sputum (r=-0.499, P=0.018) and serum (r=-0.29, P=0.029). Finally, controlling for degree of bronchial obstruction, a direct association was observed between serum MDA levels and Total Quality of Life domains (r= 0.48, P= 0.04), on impact (r= 0.57, P< 0.001) and on activity (r= 0.38, p= 0.028).
Conclusions Systemic oxidative stress is increased in stable phase COPD patients. In addition, increased bronchial obstruction increases both systemic and bronchial oxidative stress. Finally, regardless of the degree of bronchial obstruction, systemic oxidative stress decreases patients' quality of life.
Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping in the last 800 kyr warns of future ice loss

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Ice loss from Antarctica's vast freshwater reservoir could threaten coastal communities and the global economy if the ice volume decreases by even just a few percent [1]. Key processes controlling the fine balance between ice gain and ice loss remain poorly constrained, so that Antarctica's contribution to future sea-level changes ranks as the most uncertain of all potential contributors [2]. Meanwhile, observed changes in mass balance are limited to ~40 years [3,4] and difficult to put into context for an ice sheet with response time scales reaching centuries to millennia. To gain a much longer-term perspective, we here combine transient and equilibrium Parallel Ice Sheet Model [5,6] simulations of Antarctic Ice Sheet response to repeated glacial-interglacial warming and cooling cycles over the last 800,000 years. We find hysteresis (path-dependent states [7,8]) in the ice sheet response that is caused both by the long response time and by crossing of tipping points [9]. Notably, West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse contributes over 4 m sea-level rise in all equilibrium ice sheet states with ocean temperatures only 0 to 0.25°C warmer than present. A “borrowed time” (overshoot) scenario best characterises our present-day ice sheet, supporting recent studies warning of substantial irreversible ice loss on millennial time-scales, even without further climate warming [10-12].
