Published: August 2022

Insect brains play important roles in the regulation of sex-biased behaviors such as mating and oviposition. The neural structure and function of brain differences between males and females have been identified, in which the antenna lobes (AL) showed the most discrepancy, however, the whole repertoire of the genes expressed in the brains and the molecular mechanism of neural signaling and structural development are still unclear. In this study, high-throughput transcriptome analysis of male and female brains was carried on in the Asia corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, and a total of 39.23 Gb data and 34,092 unigenes were obtained. Among them, 276 genes displayed sex-biased expression by DEG analysis, of which 125 genes were highly expressed in the males and 151 genes were highly expressed in the females. Besides, by homology analysis against genes that have been confirmed to be related to brain neurodevelopment, a total of 24 candidate genes were identified in O. furnacalis. In addition, to further screen the core genes that may be important for sex-biased nerve signaling and neurodevelopment, protein-protein interaction networks were constructed for the sex-biased genes and neurodevelopment genes. We identified 10 (Mhc, Mlc1, Mlc2, Prm, Mf, wupA, TpnC25D, fln, l(2)efl, and Act5C), 11 (PPO2, GNBP3, Spn77Ba, Ppn, yellow-d2, PGRP-LB, PGRP-SD, PGRP-SC2, Hml, Cg25C, and vkg) and 8 (dac, wg, hh, ci, run, Lim1, Rbp9, and Bx) core hub genes that may be related to brain neural development from male-biased, female-biased, and neurodevelopment gene groups. Our results provide a reference for further analysis of the dimorphism of male and female brain structures in agricultural pests.

Published: August 2022

PurposeIn this paper, we use latent change models to examine the changes in in-service teachers’ emotional exhaustion before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, teachers are confronted with challenging tasks, which can lead to stress and burnout. Resultingly, teachers’ stress experiences have been examined in different studies. However, often the change in those experiences remains unclear. Against this background, we investigate longitudinally how the emotional exhaustion of a cohort of German teachers changes. In addition, we examine whether gender, age, teaching degree studied, or the amount of time spent in distance learning affected the change during the pandemic.MethodsWe surveyed German veteran teachers (N = 382) about their emotional exhaustion at three measurement points. The first two surveys were before the COVID-19 pandemic (t1: winter 2016/2017; t2: spring: 2019), and the third measurement point was after the first lockdown Germany in summer 2020 (t3). To answer the research questions, we used neighbor-change models.ResultsEmotional exhaustion increased between the first two measurement points (t1, t2) but decreased in the following period (t2, t3). The changes in the two periods did not differ significantly from each other. Neither gender, age, nor the teaching profession studied influenced the change in emotional exhaustion. The hours spent in distance learning were also not a significant predictor.ConclusionIn summary, the COVID-19 pandemic does not appear to be associated with higher emotional exhaustion across the veteran teachers. However, there are some teachers whose emotional exhaustion rises to high levels. Those teachers deserve special attention.

BackgroundIn recent years, teenage students’ internet gaming disorder has raised widespread concern in the society. The current study aims to explore how perceptions of school climate, maladaptive cognition, and belief in a just world impact teenage students’ internet gaming disorder and seek the suitable intervention to prevent teenage students’ internet gaming disorder tendency.MethodsA total of 1,164 teenage students (age: 19.62 ± 3.14 years) were evaluated using the Perceived School Climate Scale (PSCS), Maladaptive Cognition Scale (MCS), Belief in a Just World Scale (BJWS), and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS).Results(1) Perceptions of school climate could predict teenage students’ internet gaming disorder [β = –0.15, p &lt; 0.001, 95% CI = (–0.20, –0.11)]. (2) Teenage students’ maladaptive cognition exerts a partial mediating effect between their perceptions of school climate and internet gaming disorder [ab = –0.13, boot SE = 0.01, 95% CI = (–0.16, –0.11)]. (3) The direct effect of perceptions of school climate on internet gaming disorder [β = –0.07, p &lt; 0.01, 95% CI = (–0.11, –0.02)], the first half of the mediation model “perceptions of school climate → maladaptive cognition” [β = –0.08, p &lt; 0.01, 95% CI = (–0.12, –0.03)], and the second half of the mediation model “maladaptive cognition → internet gaming disorder” [β = 0.10, p &lt; 0.001, 95% CI = (0.06, 0.14)] are all moderated reciprocally by teenage students’ belief in a just world.ConclusionSchools should create a good climate and shape belief in a just world to reduce the maladaptive cognition of teenagers, to effectively prevent teenage students’ internet gaming disorder tendency.

Aim and Object Purpose of the StudyIn March 2020, the WHO declared a pandemic (COVID-19) due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In France, school closures and lockdowns were implemented. In this unprecedented context for French adolescents and children, the CONFEADO study surveyed children aged 9 to 18 years to assess their mental health, psychological distress, and resilience during and after the lockdown in relation to their living and housing conditions. To assess psychological distress, a psychometric tool (Children and Adolescent Psychological Distress Scale-CAPDS-10) was specifically designed for the research. This article presents the psychometric validity of the CAPDS-10.MethodsThis cross-sectional study collected data from June 9 to September 14, 2020, from children and adolescents (9 to 18 years of age) via an online questionnaire after sending it to a large network of partners. Psychological distress, resilience, and trait anxiety were assessed using the CAPDS-10, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). The CAPDS-10 measured perceived psychological distress in the most recent 2 weeks (primary endpoint). The predictive power of the CAPDS-10 was determined by statistical analysis. We proceeded to a confirmatory factor analysis to validate the scale at a clinical level. We carried out a psychometric validation with a step to verify the uni-dimensionality of the scale (PCA analysis) and the calculation of convergent and divergent validity, correlation coefficient between items and subscales, Cronbach's alpha for reliability, determination of a cut-off score for the AUROC index.ResultsThree thousand and forty eight children and adolescents completed the CAPDS-10. Analysis confirmed a three-factor model (anxiety, depression, and aggressive behavior) (RMSEA = 0.072 [0.067; 0.077], CFI = 0.954), with a correlation coefficient between items &gt;0.4. PCA analysis concluded that the scale is unidimensional. Reliability was satisfactory with Cronbach's alpha coefficients &gt;0.7 (0.86). In addition, prediction was good with an AUROC index equal to 0.73 and a threshold score for severe distress greater than or equal to 19.ConclusionThe CAPDS-10 measures psychological distress over the most recent 2-week period with good psychometric qualities. It could be used in crisis or prevention contexts in the general population or in clinical settings.

BackgroundBariatric surgery is an effective method for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, in which inflammation plays a crucial role. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and to explore the related factors including gender.MethodsWe retrospectively included 72 patients undergoing LSG in our hospital from 2017 to 2020. Clinical information, laboratory investigations as well as parameters derived from traditional and 2D strain echocardiography were collected. Univariate logistic model was used in myocardial performance index (MPI) and E/E′ analysis. Univariate and Multivariate logistic model were used in NLR analysis.ResultsAt baseline, all patients had normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The myocardial performance index (MPI) (OR = 1.218 (95%CI 1.040, 1.426); p = 0.0142) and E/E′ (OR = 1.364 (95%CI 1.124, 1.655); p = 0.0017) were independently associated with CRP. LSG led to a significant decrease in inflammatory markers (NLR, 2.4 ± 1.59 vs.1.7 ± 0.86; CRP, 5.6 ± 3.17 vs. 2.1 ± 2.35 mg/L, respectively, both p &lt; 0.001),which was more in NLR among female than male (OR = 3.14 (95%CI 1.112, 8.870); p = 0.031).ConclusionsThe present study indicated a significant correlation between subclinical cardiac dysfunction and CRP among obese patients. Furthermore, female patients might benefit more from bariatric surgery on inflammation.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundGorham–Stout syndrome is an uncommon condition with a varied clinical presentation and unclear cause that is characterised by a proliferation of lymphatic capillaries and severe regional osteolysis. Spinal and visceral involvement increases the syndrome's morbidity and mortality rates. Here, we report about a male patient with Gorham's disease who developed local kyphosis and neurological disorders due to massive osteolysis.Case presentationA 13-year-old male patient presented with progressive kyphosis and massive osteolysis of the thoracic vertebrae. Halo-pelvic traction and vertebral column resection osteotomy were performed to reconstruct the spine and prevent disease progression. The entire lesion was resected, and an artificial vertebra filled with allograft bone was used to achieve temporary stability. Although the patient presented with chylothorax following surgery, which required thoracic drainage, the patient did achieve a satisfying outcome.ConclusionsLimited by the number of GSS cases with spinal involvement and chylothorax manifestations, halo-pelvic distraction as a preoperative preparation and vertebral column resection osteotomy provide a novel avenue for managing this disease.

O emprego de novas tecnologias tem sido de grande importância nas investigações agronômicas, como a Inteligência Artificial (IA), o que pode representar uma estratégia eficiente para simulação e otimização de processos importantes na agricultura. O estudo tem como objetivo reduzir a quantidade de amostras necessárias para um possível mapeamento da necessidade de calagem do solo. A coleta dos dados foi obtida a partir de um esquema de grade amostral de 60x60 m. Os dados da coleta foram utilizados para treinamento da ANN, empregando o software Octave. Foi realizada uma adaptação da técnica de vizinhança para possibilitar a redução da quantidade de amostras. O desempenho nas fases de validação externa, calibração e treinamento foram utilizados como critério para definir a melhor ANN, no qual a ANN1 com exceção do teste e validação externa que se obteve desempenho muito bom, apresentou desempenho ótimo nas demais fases de calibração, tendo 6 neurônios na camada oculta e apresentando uma correlação acima de 89%. Por meio do Teste-t, foi mensurado que não houve diferença significativa das estimativas de necessidade de calagem usando ANN e o cálculo pelo método tradicional de necessidade de calagem. A técnica vizinhança adaptada para inserção de dados na ANN possibilitou diminuir em 30% o número de amostras a serem coletadas para um possível mapeamento da necessidade de calagem a taxa variada.

O Brasil possui grande potencial para o desenvolvimento da aquicultura e tem a tilápia como espécie mais cultivada. Apesar de a aquicultura representar relevante importância para a economia, ainda há uma grande dependência de mão de obra nas operações realizadas durante os processos de produção. Assim como qualquer outra atividade que se desenvolve em níveis de indústria, a mecanização e a automação são essenciais para aumentar a produtividade e diminuir custos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um sistema automatizado de monitoramento de parâmetros de qualidade de água e acionamento dos sistemas de aeração e arraçoamento, utilizando-se um sistema de aquisição de dados, processamento e tomada de decisão, contínua. Todos os sensores foram calibrados e submetidos a avaliação e instalado em um sistema de produção de tilápias, com reutilização de água. Os dados foram coletados dos sensores e processados por um datalogger, para acionamento dos sistemas de aeração e arraçoamento quando necessários. A programação do sistema possibilitou ligar e desligar o aerador a partir de leituras de 3 mg L-¹ e 5 mg L-¹ de Oxigênio Dissolvido (OD) respectivamente. O sistema também acionou o alimentador automático ás 9h, 15h e 21h, respeitando a temperatura mínima de 20ºC e 4 mg L-¹ ou mais de oxigênio. Os dados foram compartilhados com a internet através de modem GSM/GPRS a cada 10 minutos. O sensor de OD apresentou boa confiabilidade, diferente do sensor de pH, que não obteve êxito na integração ao datalogger. Os resultados da automação dos processos se mostraram eficientes.

Introduction. Further development of urban formations requires optimization of passenger traffic management in the public transport network. Ensuring the efficiency of traffic flow management involves improving accounting with the use of innovative NFC- validation and GPS-navigation systems simultaneously for all participants in passenger traffic. The purpose of the article. The main aim is to provide proposals for improving the cost and revenue accounting of carriers and issuers of electronic tickets for NFC validators in terms of information interaction of all participants in passenger traffic to ensure the effectiveness of automated passenger traffic management in the smart city.Methods. General scientific and empirical methods of cognition of processes and phenomena are used to reveal the purpose of the article.Results. A method of using information from the automated passenger traffic management system using NFC-validation and GPS-navigation technologies on the number of transported passengers to identify costs and revenues of public transport participants has been developed. The procedure for determining the cost of transportation of one passenger on the basis of additive accumulation of costs of carriers and issuers of electronic tickets has been improved. It is proposed to recognize the funds received from the sale of electronic tickets as targeted revenue (targeted funding). The method of accounting for revenues of issuers of electronic tickets and carriers has been improved. Implementation of the proposed method of parallel recognition and accounting of revenues and costs simultaneously for issuers of electronic documents and passenger carriers provides optimization of management in all market participants of passenger transport, which will lead to optimization: transport routes, service quality, reliability of accounting, socio-economic processes making managerial decisions, etc.Perspectives. Further research will be aimed at improving the methodology of control over the functioning of passenger carriers and the transport network of public entities in the implementation of an automated passenger traffic management system.
