Abstract

In the last decade, a great deal of research has focused on the determination of potential toxic metals in indoors due to an important source of the toxicity and health risks. The previous studies have commonly focused determination of total concentration of metals and identification the microorganisms in dust. On the other hand, determination bio-relevant forms (e.g., inhalable) of metals instead of total contents, examination the behavior of microorganism under these bio-relevant conditions and revealing the interaction between metals and pathogens is vital and necessary for realistic approach. However, previous studies have been ignored these topics in this field. Therefore, the present study aimed to (i) investigate metals in household dusts extracted in simulated body fluids by inhalation, (ii) examine the culturable pathogen responses in the presence of household dusts extracted in simulated body fluids, and (iii) assess their relations and risks using the model approaches by inhalation. Here, 25 household-dusts were extracted in four simulated body fluids to determine bio-relevant forms of metals (specifically using inhalation fluids). Moreover, four clinically important pathogens were incubated in the presence of household-dusts extracted in simulated body fluids. The activity, biofilm, biochemical and oxidative responses of pathogens were measured following household-dust exposures. Afterward, the relationship between metals and pathogens responses were evaluated, and model and derived approaches were used for risk assessments of metals and pathogens. The higher daily intake metal values obtained in artificial lysosomal fluid fraction of household dust that mimicking the inflammatory condition compared to other body fluids. The highest risk of the pathogens originated by biofilm formation.

Abstract

Active management such as prescribed fire and thinning can restore the savanna and prairie ecosystem to maintain a full suite of ecosystem services and creates a suitable habitat for wildlife such as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Active management, however, comes with the cost of management and acceptance of management tools. The south-central transitional ecoregion is increasing in woody plant dominance due to the exclusion of fire and other anthropogenic factors which otherwise was a mixture of forest, savanna, and tallgrass prairie. Deer hunting is a vital source of revenue generation to offset the landowner’s management cost in the region. We studied Oklahoma landowners’ perceptions regarding active and sustainable management of forest and rangeland for deer habitat using two established theories of reasoned action and planned behavior as well as expanded theories adding moral norms. We analyzed mailed survey data using structural equation modeling. We found that subjective norms and perceived behavior control significantly affected deer hunting intention when moral norms were introduced into the model. Attitudes independently significantly affected intentions of deer hunting but have negative relations with the intentions. The study suggested that landowners have positive social pressure and were interested in active management but associated financial burden and risk could be shaping negative attitudes.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Environmental RNA (eRNA) analysis has recently received attention as a better means to infer the physiological status of a community and living biotic assemblages than environmental DNA (eDNA). However, eRNA is thought to be degraded more rapidly than eDNA, increasing the risk of false-negative detection and complicating large-scale eRNA sampling in the field. In addition, the need for a deep freezer (− 80°C or below) further limits the practical application of eRNA analysis in places that are not accessible by vehicle. Here we focused on two types of reagents (RNAlater and LBP buffer) and assessed their performance for eRNA preservation. We found that very high concentrations of ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) eRNA were quantifiable from filter samples collected from an aquarium by using RNAlater preservation at − 20°C for at least a week. Compared with the sample stored at − 20°C without any preservative, the filter samples preserved in RNAlater had eRNA concentrations that were tens to hundreds of times higher. Although further technical refinement is needed, our findings have provided valuable information to enhance the methodology for improving eRNA quality and quantity in environmental samples. This will boost the practical application of eRNA-based meta-transcriptomics targeting macro-organisms.

Abstract
With the exponential increase in express deliveries over the recent years in China, the battery used for electrical bicycle, is yet hazardous and sometimes leads to fire disaster while charging. The typical burn caused by electrical bicycle battery charging (BEBBC) has remarkably increased. A retrospective chart review of patient associated with BEBBC collected in department of Burn in Rui Jin Hospital between January 2015 and December 2021 were performed. 63 BEBBC and 1412 flame burn patients were collected in this study. 56 of the 63 cases (88.89%) occurred while sleeping at night. Most of BEBBC incidents occurred in a densely populated residency and presented with higher incidence of group burn (58.73% vs 7.97%, P＜0.0001). The average age of nonlocal in BEBBC was significantly younger than that of local (33.69±1.91 vs 54.23±4.15 years, P＜0.0001). BEBBC also had higher mortality in comparison with that of flame burn (11.11% vs 3.40%, P=0.0016). The rising incidence of BEBBC calls for more attention because of its higher mortality and high impact on society. Legislation, popular science propaganda, or treatment improvement on controlling infection of respiratory tract and bacteria translocation of gastrointestinal tract might increase cure rate and reduce mortality in BEBBC.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper deals with the decomposition of three types of bicyclicgraphs into paths and cycles using a 2-simple graphoidal cover(2-simple gc). A 2-simple graphoidal covering of a graph H is a set ψa ofpaths in H such that every edge is in exactly one path in ψa, everyvertex is an internal vertex of at most two paths and any two pathsin ψa have at most one vertex in common. The minimum cardinalityof 2-simple graphoidal cover ψa of H is known as 2-simple graphoidalcovering number of H, denoted by η2s.

AbstractBackground Uveal Melanoma (UM) micro-metastases can be present prior to diagnosis and relapse after treatment. Earlier detection resulted in an increased incidence of small (T1 and T2) tumors allowing for novel eye-preserving treatment strategies, but reducing available tumor tissue needed for prognostic genomic profiling. Thus, creating the need for minimal-invasive detection and novel prognostication methods. We determined whether tumor presence can be confirmed using metabolite patterns in blood plasma and evaluated if these patterns differ between high risk (BRCA1-associated protein-1,BAP1), intermediate risk (Splicing Factor 3b Subunit 1,SF3B1) and low risk (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 1A X-Linked,EIF1AX) mutated tumors. Methods In this retrospective observational study, samples of UM-patients in a discovery (n = 53) and replication (n = 42) set were compared to unaffected control-participants (n = 46) as well as across mutation-based subgroups. Peripheral blood plasma was collected prior to treatment. Metabolite profiles of patients and control-participants were generated as mass/charge (m/z) features using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry. After normalization, discriminatory feature patterns were determined using a random forest classifier and a leave-one-out cross-validation procedure. Results We detected differential metabolic patterns between UM-patients and control-participants with a sensitivity of 0.95 and 0.90 and a specificity of 0.98 and 0.98 in the positive and negative ion modes, respectively. Overall, the performance of the model for classifying the subgroups was insufficient in both the positive (merged dataset F1 scores:BAP1: 0.64,SF3B1: 0.37, andEIF1AX: 0.35) and negative (merged dataset F1 scores:BAP1: 0.60,SF3B1: 0.32, andEIF1AX: 0.36) ion modes, respectively. Pathway analysis using annotated metabolites indicated upregulation of tRNA charging, and glycine usage for the creatine biosynthesis. Purine ribonucleosides degradation and the super pathway of citrulline metabolism were downregulated in UM-patients. An increased salvage of bases or decreased purine degradation could indicate a higher energy consumption. Conclusion Minimally-invasive metabolomics has the potential to allow for minimally invasive screening as it distinguishes metabolite patterns, that are putatively associated with oncogenic processes, in peripheral blood derived plasma of UM-patients from control-participants at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract

Particle Swarm Optimization with Migration (MPSO) is proposed to solve the issue that PSO will come across unbearable time cost problem when dealing with High-dimension, Expensive and Black-box objective function tasks. Migration operator is inspired by the migration of Salmon. Salmon will start a dangerous journey from the ocean to the home rivers for reproduction. The process of the entire behavior is similar with the reduction and recovery of dimension. Therefore, we design the Migration operator where a pre-trained Wasserstein Auto-encoders (WAE) is applied to simulates the migration behavior to accelerate the process of evolution in PSO, and we use Least-Squares Regression in lower space to product better generation. In comparison with famous baselines methods in some benchmark functions, MPSO converges more faster and more accurate which show the great potential of migration operation.

Abstract
Contact infection is a common route of respiratory infections, including that caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Monitoring of viral contamination of environmental surfaces is critical for implementing appropriate hygiene measures and reducing the risk of viral transmission. We assessed the novel utility of the salivary amylase test on environmental surfaces for monitoring the viral contamination risk. An assay based on the principle of immunochromatography was used to detect amylase. Contamination of plastic substrates with amylase and viral genes over time showed similar patterns under laboratory conditions. Moreover, amylase was detected on the surfaces surrounding individuals who performed behaviors (e.g., coughing and sneezing) that spread droplets. Accordingly, detection of amylase might indicate the presence of viral genes in cases where droplets from infected individuals were retained on surfaces. Environmental surfaces (n = 186) located in public facilities were investigated and amylase was highly detected in the food courts (66.7−75.0%) and washbasins of hotel guest rooms (100%). However, no correlation was observed between the adenosine triphosphate level (a marker of hygiene control) and the sites positive for amylase. Our research provide a method revealing sites of viral contamination and lead to the establishment of an appropriate infection control system.

The process and role of the judiciary in election administration dispute resolution in Indonesia
Authors: Kusadarini Eny , Priyanto Anang , Hartini Sri 
Published: October 2022

Election administrative violations occur at the time of the implementation of the general election by election organizers and contestants. Sometimes, they do not realize that they have committed a violation. Since the general election during the reformation period after the fall of the New Order in Indonesia, there have been frequent violations of election administration resolved through administrative courts through the State Administrative Court. The dispute resolution was carried out after complaints were made through Bawaslu and DKPP as administrative dispute resolution (ADR) institutions and did not bring results. This administrative violation is considered detrimental to the candidate contesting the election, causing a dispute between the candidate contesting the election and the organizers of the general election. This article examines the process of resolving electoral administrative disputes in Indonesia and the judiciary's role in resolving electoral administrative disputes. Several examples of cases of election administration violations that occurred and their causes obtained through empirical studies using the technique of documenting judges' decisions that have permanent legal force at the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia were analyzed using inductive logic.
¿Colusión o trabajo colaborativo?: percepción de la población estudiantil universitaria acerca de la integridad académica
Authors: Hernández Chaves Carolina , Ramírez Herrera Carolina Ramírez Herrera 
Published: October 2022

La Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica promueve la integridad académica en su normativa institucional, no obstante, es necesario la divulgación de otras prácticas deshonestas que no considera, como la colusión, la cual paradójicamente tiene implícito una cooperación activa con otras personas, principio que también es parte esencial del trabajo colaborativo, sin embargo, la colusión induce al fraude y es deliberada, y, en algunos casos desconocida por la comunidad universitaria. La población seleccionada considera estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Escuela de Secretariado Profesional de la Universidad Nacional, se utiliza el enfoque mixto y el diseño explicativo secuencial (DEXPLIX). Entre los principales resultados obtenidos se logró determinar que la mayoría del grupo estudiantil tiene un óptimo desarrollo moral de acuerdo con los estadios de Kohlberg, lo que coadyuva a identificar prácticas de colusión como faltas a la integridad académica. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, debido a la disonancia cognoscitiva, se justifican estas prácticas, a partir de valores como la solidaridad, la lealtad, y la compasión. Asimismo, por factores culturales de normalización, por pensamientos como “todo el mundo lo hace”, el estudiantado incurre en colusión en lugar de realizar trabajo colaborativo. Se concluye que los actos de deshonestidad académica deben ser abordados desde un enfoque formativo y no punitivo, convirtiéndolos en experiencias de aprendizaje y reflexión que conduzcan a una toma de decisiones acertada. El estudiantado debe aprender a vivir la integridad académica y actuar con responsabilidad, honestidad, respeto, confianza, justicia y valentía en cualquier actividad relacionada con el trabajo académico.

Dalam menangani para migran Rohingya di Aceh, TNI berupaya untuk berpartisipasi sebagai metode bela negara dalam menghadapi para migran Rohingya yang terus masuk melalui wilayah pesisir Aceh dan kemudian datang dengan perahu, menimbulkan rasa simpati dari masyarakat Aceh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi keterlibatan TNI dalam menangani pengungsi Rohingya di Aceh dengan menggunakan pemikiran Syukriya tentang peran TNI dalam melakukan operasi militer selain perang. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan untuk menjelaskan berbagai instrumen dan sumber daya yang digunakan dalam proses pengumpulan data, yang kemudian digunakan untuk memberikan analisis berdasarkan data yang dikumpulkan. Dalam penelitian ini, studi literatur digunakan dalam pengumpulan data dengan melakukan pencarian di internet, yang temuannya kemudian dapat dilakukan reduksi data dan triangulasi data. Hasil dari TNI dalam menangani pengungsi Rohingya terbagi menjadi dua bagian, pertama adalah bantuan pertahanan sebagai bentuk antisipasi menyusupnya paham radikalisme yang dibawa oleh ARSA serta semacam peringatan dini terhadap maraknya kegiatan perdagangan manusia yang ditujukan terhadap pengungsi Rohingya. Kedua, keterlibatan TNI dalam pemberian bantuan, yaitu membantu penyaluran bantuan dari pemerintah dan masyarakat Indonesia kepada pengungsi Rohingya dan berkontribusi dalam pembangunan infrastruktur bagi pengungsi di kamp-kamp pengungsi. The TNI aims to participate in dealing with Rohingya migrants in Aceh as a means of protecting the country in dealing with Rohingya migrants who continue to arrive through the coastal areas of Aceh and subsequently come by boat, eliciting compassion from the Acehnese people. The purpose of this study is to assess the TNI's involvement in dealing with Rohingya refugees in Aceh by utilizing Syukriya's ideas on the role of the TNI in carrying out military operations other than war. The different tools and resources utilized in the data collecting process are described using a qualitative method, which is then used to offer analysis based on the data obtained. The literature research was employed in this study to collect data by searching the internet, the results of which could then be data reduction and data triangulation. The TNI's response to Rohingya refugees is separated into two sections. The first is defensive support as a sort of anticipation of ARSA's infiltration of radicalism and a kind of early warning against widespread human trafficking operations targeting Rohingya refugees. Second, the TNI's role in giving help, namely aiding in the delivery of government and Indonesian people aid to Rohingya refugees and contributing to infrastructure construction for refugees in refugee camps.
