A Xylarium, like the one in Kourou in French Guiana, is a unique collection of wood specimens assembled over many years that represents high interspecific diversity. In addition to the standard use of such collections for systematic anatomy, a technological database can be created using supplementary specimens taken from the same tree as the reference specimens. Physical, mechanical and durability tests were performed on wood planks measuring 10 × 60 × 100 mm3 (L is the longest direction, width and thickness are not always perfectly radial or tangential, just transverse) representing 445 woody species belonging to 63 families found in French Guiana. Wood densities ranged from 250 to 1,300 kg/m3, with an average of 786 kg/m3. The other properties also covered a wide range of values, as did the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (ranging from 0.6 to 37 GPa), as samples from lianas and palm stipes from very stiff woods were also tested. The correlations between the different parameters measured on the 445 species tested allowed us to identify some relationships between wood properties, e.g.: (i) light colored woods are less prone to shrinkage, but more prone to rot (the opposite is true for red woods); (ii) woods with a low damping coefficient are generally darker, redder, denser, and more resistant to rot. This database cannot be used to characterize a particular species as only one specimen is available for each species, but it can be used to study the relationships between properties and easily measured descriptors related to wood structure (e.g. density, modulus) or wood chemistry (e.g. color, durability). Finally, this database provides the foundation for future bigger databases including many more specimens of each species that will be useful to search for particular properties in certain families or genera, for example, high natural durability despite rather low wood density, or low damping along with a high specific modulus.

Abstract
This qualitative interview study aimed to understand the potential utility of online arts and culture (OAC) for mental health in young people. Methods: Participants aged 16-24 were selected by purposeful sampling from an online survey of community engagement for mental health and wellbeing. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted from 30th July to 9th Sept 2020 with thirteen participants who were socio-demographically diverse and varied in their use of OAC and in their mental health status. Rich interview data were analysed using a reflective thematic analysis. Results: Participants identified that culture and the arts could be helpful for their mental health, online engagement had some advantages over in-person engagement and benefits were greater with regular use. Participants described that the features of OAC most likely to benefit mental health were diverse human stories about personal challenges and a variety of viewpoints with which they could connect on a human level. This brought a sense of perspective and provided opportunities for reflection, learning, escapism, creativity, exploration and discovery. Perceived impacts on mental health included the disruption of negative thought patterns, lifting mood and increased feelings of calm and proactivity. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that young people have a critical level of insight and understanding regarding their mental health and ways in which it might be improved. These findings can be used to optimise the mental health benefits of OAC in an engaging and acceptable way for young people. These methodologies could be applied to other types of community resource for mental health.

Abstract
Background
Nausea and Vomiting are common complications in patients undergoing Caesarean delivery under regional anaesthesia. When experienced after surgery, they may not only delay recovery, reduce patient satisfaction and affect the bonding between mother and baby but also may increase the risk of aspiration, which is a recognised cause of maternal death. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for prophylaxis and treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been employed with different degree of efficacy.
Aims
In this pilot randomised controlled trial, we aimed to determine the possible preventative effects of chewing gum on the rate of PONV in expectant mothers undergoing neuraxial anaesthesia for elective lower segment caesarean section.
Methods
296 patients were randomised to an intervention arm to receive chewing gum in addition to standard therapy and to a non-intervention arm to receive standard therapy. After exclusions 258 patients were followed up 24 hours post-operatively. Standard therapy is defined as Ondansetron 4mg IV intra-operatively. The primary outcomes were the incidences of nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours post-operatively. Secondary outcomes were the number of episodes of nausea or vomiting in the recovery room and on the ward 24 hours post-operatively, use of anti-emetics post-operatively, severity of nausea and patient satisfaction with the intervention.
Results
Our study revealed no significant differences in rates of post-operative nausea and vomiting between the intervention and standard therapy groups (41.4% v 36.9% p = 0.461). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes between groups.
Conclusion
Chewing gum does not reduce the incidence of PONV after elective LSCS under spinal anaesthesia
Trial Registration
Our trial was registered with clinicaltrials.org (NCT04191694)

Abstract
Identifying connectivity patterns among remnant bird populations and their relationship with land use practices and subjacent habitat fragmentation is key for implementing appropriate management strategies for species conservation. The coastal thorn scrub forest and dune vegetation complex in the northern Yucatan Peninsula has been affected by coastal development. These human induced processes of land use change can affect the Yucatan Wren (Campylorhynchus yucatanicus), an endemic bird to this vegetation types with a narrow distribution. To identify possible anthropogenic barriers to connectivity of populations of C. yucatanicus, we collected 140 samples from 14 localities and used seven nuclear microsatellite loci to describe the current structure and genetic diversity of populations of C. yucatanicus. We explored the relationship between the genetic variability of populations and landscape structure through regression models. In addition, we described the relationship between genetic distance and landscape resistance. We found four genetic populations with Bayesian clustering methods. Human settlements and availability of adequate habitat limit the connectivity between sites due to ongoing land use changes. We suggest some management actions for conservation of this species, and we propose to change the IUCN threat category to "endangered" because of today the species has a more restricted distribution, small population, habitat degradation, loss of connectivity, and loss of genetic variability.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to convert cement bypass dust into a usable product called hydroxyapatite. Four hydroxyapatites’ samples (Kiln-HA1- Kiln-HA4) were successfully prepared in nano-scale (14.8–25.7 nm). The specific surface areas of all of the samples examined were high: Kiln-HA3 (161.5 m2/g) > Kiln-HA1 (130.2 m2/g) > Kiln-HA2 (81.9 m2/g) > Kiln-HA4 (54.1 m2/g).Tested nano- hydroxyapatite successfully removed Fe3+ and Mn2+ as pollutants from water with efficiencies of up to 95% for both Fe and Mn ions. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) of nano hydroxyapatite varied from 147 to 175 mg.g− 1 for adsorbed Fe (III), while were wide ranged from 204 to 344 mg.g− 1 for adsorbed Mn (II).Hydroxyapatite-selectivity for removing Mn and Fe ions in mixed solutions was as follows: Fe3+> Cu2+>Mn2+. In multiple cycles, the investigated materials were able to remove Fe and Mn ions without regeneration. The overall cost of producing 100 grams of hydroxyapatite from cement bypass waste is less than other calcium source which was 184 EGP/100g (9.32 €/100g).
Is there a stronger willingness to pay for air quality improvement with high education? New evidence from a survey in China
Authors: hu lun , liao wenmei 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
As a developing country with the largest population and serious environmental pollution in the world, China has made great efforts in air pollution. Air quality improvement depends not only on government administrative regulations, but also on public support, especially how much the public is willing to pay for air quality improvement. Higher education will encourage the public to take actions to improve air quality. However, the confirmation of the causality relationship between WTP and education have been missing. In this study, the micro-household survey data is used to study the relationship between the two, and the following conclusions are drawn: (1)OLS regression model and instrumental variable both determine the positive influence of education level on air quality improvement WTP, and Heckman model further verifies the robustness of the conclusion. (2) According to the results of IV, the WTP of air quality improvement of urban households will increase by 12.632 ~ 18.664 CNY, and that rural households will increase by 11.886 ~ 21.117 CNY for each grade of schooling. (3) The positive influence of education level is greater in the groups of men, higher income, higher awareness of acid rain and more air purifiers,and it has a greater impact on married people in rural areas than in urban areas. (4) The total social and economic value of air quality improvement in China is 34.572 billion CNY to 672.42 trillion CNY.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The family of phosphate transporters (PHTs) mediates the uptake and translocation of Pi inside the plants. However, little is known about transporters in soybean. Therefore, Searched the Genome Database for Soybean, 57 GmPHTs family members were identified in soybean, Phylogenetic analysis suggested that members of the PHTs gene family can be divided into six clades. Collinearity analysis revealed that most of the GmPHT genes shared syntenic relationships with PHTs members in Arabidopsis thaliana and that large segment duplication played a major driving force for GmPHTs evolution in addition to tandem duplication. Further analysis of the promoter revealed that light-responsive elements and abiotic stress-responsive elements were widely distributed within the promoter regions of GmPHT genes. Based on RNA-seq data, GmPHTs showed different expression patterns in roots and leaves of soybean treated with long-term low phosphorus and short-term low phosphorus, in addition, the expression levels of GmPHT genes can be regulated by drought stresses, it was implied that the induced expression of GmPHTs could promote phosphorus uptake and transport in soybean and thus adapt to low phosphorus and drought stress, which is the first step dissection of Pi transport system and probably refers to new roles of PHTs genes in soybean.
How carbon trading policy should be integrated with carbon tax policy? -Laboratory evidence from a model of the current state of carbon pricing policy in China

Published: September 2022

Abstract
China is planning to introduce a carbon tax policy to control the carbon emissions of country better and achieve the "3060 goals", but there is still widespread discussion about how to introduce it and how to combine it with cap and trade. China had already established a national carbon emission trading market, however, there is also disagreement on whether to impose the carbon tax on companies and projects that had been included in cap and trade. This paper adopts the research method of experimental economics to study the effect on social economy and social emission reduction under cap and trade, carbon tax, carbon tax-carbon trading policies, and analyzes average prices of carbon market under cap and trade and carbon tax-cap and trade policies. The study find that: under the carbon tax-carbon trading policies, carbon emissions cannot be reduced significantly, but the profits of corporations will be reduced significantly.And it will be resulting in a lower average carbon market price under the carbon tax-carbon trading policies than under the cap and trade policy, which may reduce the low-carbon technology innovation capability of enterprises. This paper will provide theoretical suggestions for introducing carbon tax policy into China in the future, and make policy recommendations for the better development of China's carbon market.

Abstract
Background
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common malignant tumor in China and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and targeted therapy are widely used in the treatment of HCC. To make a better treatment strategy from many treatment options, this study analyzed the survival of patients with liver cancer based on Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) grades and tumor load layer, and established a nomogram model.
Methods
The clinical data of 354 patients with unresectable HCC and recurrent HCC after radical resection who received TACE combined with or without sorafenib(SORA) in our hospital from 2017 to 2020 were investigated retrospectively.After 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM), eighty-one cases in TACE + SORA group and 162 cases in TACE group were included.
Results
The survival benefit of TACE combined with sorafenib is better than that of TACE alone in patients with advanced liver cancer and recurrent primary liver cancer after radical surgery. Compared with TACE alone, patients with good liver function reserve (ALBI grade 1_5 points) can benefit significantly from TACE combined with SORA (median PFS: 11.8 months vs 7.0 months, P=0.000; median OS: 27.6 months vs 23.0 months, P=0.019). For patients with poor liver function (such as ALBI grade 1_ grade B), combined therapy can not significantly prolong the survival of patients with liver cancer(median PFS: P=0.370; median OS: P=0.131). ALBI grades is superior to Child-Pugh grades in predicting the prognosis of HCC. The prognosis of patients with large tumor burden ((layer 2 and layer 3) is better than that of patients with TACE alone(layer 2: 24.5 months vs 18.5 months, layer 3: 15.0 months vs 12.2 months; P<0.05). The nomogram prediction model can predict the prognosis of patients with unresectable liver cancer and patients with recurrence of liver cancer(C-index and AUC: 0.846 and 0.703, respectively)(C index range in predicting OS in 1, 2 and 3 years: 0.707-0.928), and it is also a good risk stratification model. Nomograph model based on ALBI grades is better than nomograph model based on Child-Pugh grades (0.844 vs 0.839).
Conclusions
Compared with TACE alone, the combination of TACE and sorafenib could improve the prognosis of patients, especially the patients with better liver function (ALBI grade 1_5points) and the patients with higher tumor load,such as layer 2 and 3. The nomogram model established in this study performed well in predicting prognosis, and the model could be used for risk stratification of patients.

Abstract
The Bonelli's eagle is one of the rarest and most threatened birds of prey in Europe, which means that great efforts are being made to guarantee its conservation. One of the lines of work is the reintroduction of specimens in areas where the species has recently become extinct and those in which the factors that caused its disappearance have been corrected. The present study presents the results of one of these reintroduction projects carried out in Navarra, Northern Spain, between 2011 and 2021. Forty-seven individuals (36 born in captivity and 11 from wild nests) were released in five places close to historical territories. After those 11 years of work, the occupation of two of the historical and the creation of a new one has been achieved. 44.68 % of the birds died in the first year after their release and 19.14%, during the first month in the field. No significant differences were found associated with the sex or the origin of the specimens in survival during the first month or during the first year after release. 48 % of deaths were related to anthropogenic causes (electrocution, wind farm collision, indeterminate trauma, shooting and poisoning), while 44% were due to predation by mammals or big raptors. This last result had not been described until now and suggests that, when the causes of death of human origin are corrected, those of natural origin appear. The application of this type of actions as a conservation tool for the species is discussed.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this paper, the absorber is designed and analyzed based on Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structure and the main idea of this design is to create a different geometric structure on the upper metal layer to create absorption resonance at different frequencies and bring these resonances closer to each other to have an absorption spectrum. The absorber of the studied materials is composed of metal-dielectric-metal layers, in which gold is used in the upper and lower metal layers and alumina is used for the dielectric material between them. The thickness of the bottom, dielectric and top layers is 1600 nm, 560 nm, and 600 nm, respectively, and the unit cell dimensions of this adsorbent are 9800 nm. The general purpose of studying this structure was to generalize it to the terahertz frequency range and to create an absorption of nearly 100% in the frequently used frequency range below 100 Terahertz., we used the Meander line structure, which is essentially a Nanoantenna structure to amplify and intensify the magnetic field in the absorber.
Dental anxiety and oral health following stroke
Authors: Nangle Matthew R. , Adams Alexandra G. , henry Julie 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background: Oral health is often poorer in people living with acquired brain injury (ABI) relative to non-clinical controls. However, although anxiety disorders become more common following stroke, with the nature of this disturbance predominantly phobic in presentation, no study to date has tested whether dental anxiety might contribute to stroke survivors’ increased vulnerability to poorer oral health. This study reports the first test of whether the anxiety disturbances that commonly present following stroke extend to dental anxiety, and if dental anxiety in this group is linked to poorer oral health.
Materials and Methods: First-time stroke survivors (N = 35) and demographically matched controls (N = 35) completed validated measures of dental anxiety, oral health, negative affect, and life satisfaction.
Results: Stroke survivors did not differ from controls in their overall levels of dental anxiety or oral health, but uniquely for the stroke group, dental anxiety was strongly associated with poorer oral health, and this effect remained significant even after controlling for negative affect and life satisfaction.
Conclusions: Stroke survivors who have higher levels of dental‑related anxiety may be at increased risk of poorer oral health.
Hemidystonia secondary to pediatric thalamic glioblastoma: a case report
Authors: Fernandes Filipe Wolff , Saryyeva Assel , Ertl Philipp , Krauss Joachim K. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Introduction: Thalamic tumors are rare and uncommonly manifest as movement disorders, including hemidystonia. Despite this association, little is known about the evolution of hemidystonia.
Case description: We report on a 11-year-old boy who complained of hypaesthesia and fine motor problems in the left hand. A magnetic resonance imaging showed a large mass in the right thalamus. Stereotactic biopsy revealed a WHO grade 4 astrocytoma, and the patient underwent normofractioned radiochemotherapy with proton-beam radiation and temozolomide. Three months later, a spastic hemiparesis developed on the left side, which progressed over months. Over the following months, the hemiparesis slowly improved, but hemidystonia in the same side developed. This was accompanied with radiological evidence of tumor regression, showing a persistent lesion in the ventral posterolateral and the intralaminar thalamus.
Conclusion: This case illustrates the unusual and complex temporal course of appearance and disappearance of hemidystonia along with the regression and growth in glioblastoma involving the thalamus.
