Abstract
In Lesotho, the hypertension and diabetes care cascades are unknown. We measured awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and diabetes and identified factors associated with each step of the cascade, based on data from a population-based, cross-sectional survey among adults ≥ 18 years in 120 randomly sampled clusters in the districts of Butha-Buthe and Mokhotlong from 1st November 2021 to 31st August 2022. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations. Among participants with hypertension, 69.7% (95%CI, 67.2–72.2%, 909/1305) were aware of their condition, 67.3% (95%CI 64.8–69.9%, 878/1305) took treatment, and 49.0% (95%CI 46.3–51.7%, 640/1305) were controlled. Among participants with diabetes, 48.4% (95%CI 42.0–55.0%, 111/229) were aware of their condition, 55.8% (95%CI 49.5–62.3%, 128/229) took treatment, and 41.5% (95%CI 35.1–47.9%, 95/229) were controlled. For hypertension, women had higher odds of being on treatment (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.54, 95% CI 1.78–3.61) and controlled (aOR 2.44, 95%CI 1.76–3.37) than men. Participants from urban areas had lower odds of being on treatment (aOR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44–0.90) or being controlled (aOR 0.63, 95% CI 0.46–0.85). Considerable gaps along the hypertension and diabetes care cascades in Lesotho indicate that access and quality of care for these conditions are insufficient to ensure adequate health outcomes.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
With the deepening of the exploration of complex hidden oil and gas reservoirs, the spatial characterization of complex reservoir bodies determines the deployment of development wells, and seismic data contains the three-dimensional spatial characteristics of geological bodies and plays an important role in the spatial characterization of reservoirs, among which designing appropriate transfer functions to express the nonlinear relationship between seismic data and reservoirs is the key to solving the problem. At present, the transfer functions are concentrated in low-dimensional functions or high-dimensional functions of fixed mathematical models, which cannot accurately depict the nonlinear mapping relationship between seismic data and complex reservoirs, resulting in low spatial description accuracy of reservoirs. In this paper, the hybrid nonlinear transfer function is established to convert the seismic volume fusion attribute into the light blockers attribute, and then the emission model and light projection method are used to render the reservoir volume, so as to achieve the purpose of illuminating the reservoir and shielding the non-reservoir, and improve the depiction accuracy of the three-dimensional spatial characteristics of the reservoir.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The processes shaping the biological communities are ongoing debates. Two theories of Niche and Neutral are the most accepted ones, emphasizing on interspecific competition/environmental filtering, and stochastic processes, respectively. Recently the subject is investigated by incorporating phylogeny into ecological approaches. We investigated plant communities structure in Kerman, Iran, by constructing phylogenetic tree for the species pool using megatree of vascular plants in R Package V.PhyloMaker2, and subsequently calculated communities’ phylogenetic diversity indecis (PDI) of Faith, Net Relatedness index (NRI) and Nearest Taxon index (NTI). Relationship of the indecis with environmental components and species abundance was studied using R Packages Picante and Vegan, respectively. The communities' compositions were calculated based on both abundance-weighted and phylogeny-weighted species compositions, and their correlation was investigated by Mental test. Similarity among the communities was evaluated by ordination analyses of Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and Principal Coordinates of Phylogenetic Structure (PCPS), respectively. The communities’ NRI and NTI values were positive and smaller than threshold value of 1.96, indicating clustered structure of the communities, highlighting environmental filtering role. Soil pH and moisture were significantly correlated with NTI, but only soil moisture affected on NRI. However, soil EC, altitude, slope degree and aspects did not affect on NRI and NTI. None of the six environmental components affected the communities’ species abundance. NMDS- and PCPS-wieghted communities' compositions was not correlated. The results showed that the species assemblage was determined by only environmental filtering, highlighting importance of environmental factors rether than interspecific competition in distribution of species in the region.
A Novel Non-convex Tensor Function Based TRPCA for Foreground Detection
Authors: Lu Youyou , Chen Lixia , Wang Xuewen 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In recent years, tensor robust principal component analysis (TRPCA) models have become increasingly popular in the field of foreground detection. However, traditional TRPCA models often struggle to accurately approximate sparse terms, leading to less precise foreground object detection results. To address this issue, we propose a new approach by introducing a non-convex tensor logarithmic function to constrain the sparse term, and develop a novel foreground detection model called Model A. In addition, in order to distinguish between dynamic background and sparse foreground more accurately, we also introduce another foreground detection model called Model B. In this model, we divide the background into static background and dynamic background, and incorporate a non-coherent term into the model to help differentiate between the dynamic background and the sparse foreground regions. The experimental results show that both Model A and Model B outperform six comparison algorithms in terms of foreground detection performance. Additionally, Model B demonstrates particularly strong proficiency in handling dynamic backgrounds. These findings highlight the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed models in foreground detection tasks.

Abstract
We study a subclass of univalent harmonic mappings, denoted by $T_{H}(\alpha, \gamma,\beta),$ which is harmonic analogue to the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha, \gamma)$ due to Ali \etal\ (J. Math. Anal. Appl., 385(2), 808-822 (2012)), where $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are non-negative real numbers and $0\leq \beta <1.$ We first compute the Bohr radius, improved Bohr radius, Bohr-Rogosinski radius for the family $T_{H}(\alpha,\gamma,\beta).$ Moreover, by making use of area and Jacobian bounds, various Bohr-type inequalities are also established. In particular, we present Bohr phenomenon for various classical subfamilies harmonic univalent mappings and also pointed out the relevant connections with the known results.

Abstract
Background
Increasing evidence is appearing that ozone has adverse effects on health. However, the association between long-term ozone exposure and lung function is still inconclusive, especially in developing regions with high ozone levels.
Objectives
To investigate the associations between long-term exposure to ozone and lung function in Chinese young adults.
Methods
We conducted a prospective cohort study among 1594 college students with a mean age of 19.2 years at baseline in Shandong, China from September 2020 to September 2021. Lung function indicators including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced expiratory flow at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile of the FVC (FEF25, FEF50, and FEF75) and mean flow rate between 25% and 75% of the FVC (FEF25-75) were measured. Daily 10km×10km ozone concentrations come from a well-validated data-fusion approach and the time-weighted average concentrations during 12 months before the lung function test was defined as the long-term ozone exposure. The associations between long-term ozone exposure and lung function indicators in Chinese young adults were investigated using a linear mixed effects model, followed by stratified analyses regarding sex and BMI (Body mass index).
Results
Each interquartile range (IQR) (8.9 µg/m3) increase in long-term ozone exposure were associated with a -204.3 (95% confidence interval (CI): -361.6, -47.0) ml/s, -146.3 (95% CI: -264.1, -28.4) ml/s, and − 132.8 (95% CI: -239.2, -26.4) ml/s change in FEF25, FEF50, and FEF25-75, respectively. Stronger adverse associations were found in female participants or those with a BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2.
Conclusion
Long-term exposure to ambient ozone is associated with impaired small airway indicators in Chinese young adults. Females and participants with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 have stronger associations.
A Study On Measuring An Objective Aspect Score In Forestry Analysis: Example Of Forest Roads And Landslide Areas

Published: July 2023

Abstract
In forestry, measurements are made to understand the state of natural ecosystems, their changes, and human impacts. These measurements are accepted as criteria in studies and used in evaluations and comparisons. Although the studies using these criteria vary, they are of great importance in studies on forest roads and landslide areas. While forest road construction activities affect ecological, economic and social factors in forestry, landslides negatively affect the environment and people. In this study, it is aimed to objectively and accurately measure the aspects of landslides and forest roads. The aspect value has been associated with exposure to sunlight, precipitation and winds that absorb soil moisture in the literature, and it has been concluded that it is an important criterion. The measurement and scoring of the aspect is generally done by visual and subjective methods in the literature. Therefore, a method which measures the aspect score more sensitive and universal is required. In the study, thirty forest roads and thirty landslide areas were selected from the Maçka Forestry Enterprise. These road and landslide areas were scored according to previous studies in the literature. The comparisons have shown that studies on aspect scoring are subjective methods that contradict each other in many ways. In order to eliminate this confusion, in this study, a pixel-based method that can be used for both accurate measurement of the aspect and objective aspect scoring is proposed. Since the hemisphere, the local winds and the precipitation are effective in scoring the aspect, the proposed method is suggested as a parametric model so that users can adapt it to their own work as they wish. The results showed that the proposed method is accurate and effective in measuring and scoring the aspect. In addition, the proposed method is shared as an open source ArcMap Toolbox to be delivered to the end-user.

Abstract
Let $r$ be a positive integer, and let $k_1, k_2, \cdots,k_r$ be integers such that $k_i \equiv \pm 1 \pmod 9$ for all $1 \leq i \leq r$. In this article, we prove the existence of infinitely many positive integers $D$ such that the class numbers of the real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3D}), ~ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3(D -1)}), ~ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3(D -k_1^2)}), \ldots, ~ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3(D-k_r^2)})$ are simultaneously divisible by $3$. This result gives an affirmative answer to a weaker version of a conjecture of Iizuka \cite{Iizuka}.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension and gastritis are prevalent health issues among adults, and effective community nursing care is essential for managing these conditions. Health education interventions can potentially improve knowledge, motivation, and adherence, promoting primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention measures. Purpose: This study aimed to implement community nursing care in the aggregate of adults with hypertension and gastritis problems through health education interventions. Research Method: A "one group pre-test and post-test design" was employed for this study. The intervention technique used was health education, focusing on health promotion. The outcomes measured included primary prevention, which was the level of knowledge; secondary prevention, which was motivation; and tertiary prevention, which was the level of adherence. Results: Before the health education intervention, 80% (8 respondents) of the community members had good knowledge about hypertension and gastritis, while 30% (3 respondents) had poor knowledge. Following the health education intervention that covered topics related to hypertension (Cucumber Juice) and gastritis (Honey ginger brew), the level of knowledge increased to 100%, with all respondents showing a good perception.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

The proportion of zinc in the landfill increased as the popularity of Galvanized industry, dry battery industry, and it bring harm to the environment. Bentonite is a potential candidate for barriers in landfill due to its metal adsorption ability. This work studies the character of adsorption in natural bentonite and shanghai clay for Zn(Ⅱ). Factor influencing the adsorption of Zn(Ⅱ), such as pH, ion strength of Na, contact time, initial concentration of Zn(Ⅱ), adsorption temperature, were examined by batch-type sorption test. The obtained result show that the change of pH value and ion strength of Na has no significant effect on the Zn(Ⅱ) adsorption onto bentonite. This indicates the strong selectivity of bentonite for Zn(Ⅱ). The Zn(Ⅱ) equilibrium sorption capacity onto clay increases with the increase of pH value or the decrease of ion strength. The effect of contact time on the adsorption process was studied within the kinetic models. The pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovih model could described well the Zn(Ⅱ) adsorption onto bentonite, because its R2༞0.9. The results show that both physical adsorption and chemical adsorption exist in the Zn(Ⅱ) adsorption onto bentonite or clay, but the main factor determining the adsorption rate is chemical adsorption. The effect of Zn(Ⅱ) initial concentration on the adsorption was studied within the adsorption isotherms. The results show that the adsorption process is controlled by chemical mechanism. The effect of the temperature on the adsorption was studied within the adsorption thermodynamics. The Zn(Ⅱ) adsorption onto bentonite is spontaneous, but not onto clay. The result of SEM, XRD-EDS and FT-IR was show that the adsorption mechanism of Zn(Ⅱ) onto bentonite and clay has van der Waals force, ion exchange, and chemical action such as inner-sphere complexation.
An Approach to Investigating the Behavior of RCC Coupling Beams
Authors: Bhunia Dipendu , West Roger P. , Bhaskar Jayakumar 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The use of coupled shear walls has been one of the potential options as an earthquake resistant system in reinforced concrete composite high-rise buildings in recent times. Coupled shear walls consist of two shear walls connected intermittently by beams over their height. The behavior of coupled shear walls is strongly influenced by the coupling beams. When the coupled shear walls are subjected to earthquake motion, energy dissipates in the coupling beams and, depending on the design, also at the base of the shear walls. However, it is seen from past research that there is an inconsistency regarding behavior of such coupling beams, especially regarding their modeling parameters (the size of the coupling beam), evaluative parameters (plastic rotation and yield moment capacities) and their unrealistic boundary conditions. This paper aims to achieve consistency regarding the behavior of coupling beams and feasible boundary conditions using both experimental and numerical analyses.
“Better safe than sorry”: Behaviorally informed digital campaigns and their association with COVID-19 vaccine interest and take-up in Belize

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background: Increasing vaccine take-up has been key to curb the COVID-19 pandemic globally. However, vaccine acceptance and take-up has been a challenge in some regions such as the Caribbean countries. This paper analyzes the performance of different behaviorally informed social media campaigns on people’s engagement with information about the vaccination process and vaccine take-up in Belize, a country where despite of enough vaccine supply take-up was very low.
Methods: Using Belize’s Facebook platform (>230,000 users) and national administrative vaccination data at the district level, we conduct three types of analyses. First, we run linear regression models to analyze which of five behaviorally informed and sequentially displayed Facebook campaigns were better at predicting i) social media engagement with COVID-19 vaccination; and ii) COVID-19 vaccination uptake. Then, within one of the campaigns (e.g. the side-effects one) we conduct a randomized experiment to measure the effect on social media engagement of exposure to either positively (“Majority did not report discomfort”) or negatively framed messages, using words (“Few persons reported discomfort”) or numerical proportions (“3 out of 100 reported discomfort”). Social media engagement is measured by the number of people that clicked on the respective Facebook ad and visited the official vaccination site (“Clicks”) and the number of people that interacted with the ad through likes and different emojis (“Engagements”).
Results: Campaigns highlighting COVID-19 vaccine safety best predicted vaccination uptake (second and booster doses) and social media engagement. Emphasizing the vaccine´s effectiveness was associated with a higher uptake of first doses. These results match previous research showing that safety was one of the main concerns among Belizean citizens and that efficacy beliefs were important to increase the likelihood of uptake among the unvaccinated. Finally, informational messages related to side effects that were framed positively (“Majority did not report discomfort”) and using words (“Few persons reported discomfort”) were better at generating "Clicks” compared to those negatively framed and using numbers (“3 out of 100 reported discomforts”).
Conclusions: Highlighting COVID-19 vaccines´ safety and framing side-effect information positively (i.e., focusing on those who will not get them) with words might increase vaccination uptake and interest in low-uptake regions like the Caribbean.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
We demonstrate a universal transcriptional regulatory design algorithm that can boost expression in a non-induced fashion for any constitutive promoter in eukaryotic cell lines. The system consists of a simplified transcriptional architecture composed of a minimal core promoter and a synthetic upstream regulatory region (sURS). The sURS was encoded by an oligo-library containing 189,990 variants, where each variant contained up to three motifs encoded with mixed-base synthesis technology. Motifs were chosen from a list of 41 transcription factor (TF) binding motifs conserved in the eukaryotic lineage. Using a machine learning and oligo library (OL-ML) approach, we identified at least 16 motifs which were associated with either a statistically significant expression boost or attenuation effect. We validated the boost and attenuation potential of these motifs using a set of unseen sURS designs, which contained multiple copies of them. The validation sURS experiments further indicated that a modular and generic set of grammar rules for boosting and attenuation may exist in yeast enabling a simple design algorithm for boosting the expression of any promoter. Finally, we demonstrated that this modular and generic set of grammar rules functions similarly in mammalian CHO-K1 and Hela cells. Our work provides a resource for the characterization of conserved regulatory grammar, as well as a tool for the design of functional promoters for industrially relevant alternative protein expression in various Eukaryotic cell lines.
Fundamental Ideas of Russian Historical Polonistics and Their Reflection in V.O. Klyuchevsky
Authors: Кручковский Т.Т. 
Published: July 2023

В статье представлены фундаментальные идеи российской исторической полонистики ХIХ – начала ХХ века в преломление их в творчестве В.О. Ключевского. Оценочные подходы ученого к истории Польши сочетали признание фундаментальных идей российской исторической полонистики, консервативных и славянофильских, по сути, и отход от них на либерально-западнические позиции. В этом контексте научное наследие историка не исследовалось и специального комплексного историографического исследования по этой проблематике не проводилось.
The article presents the fundamental ideas of Russian historical polonistics of the 19th - early 20th centuries as refracted in the works of V.O. Kluchevsky. The scientist's evaluative approaches to the history of Poland combined the recognition of the fundamental ideas of Russian historical polonistics, conservative and Slavophile in essence, and a departure from them to liberal-Westernist positions. In this context, the historian's scientific heritage has not been studied and no special comprehensive historiographic research has been carried out on this issue.
