Background
West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV), two closely related flaviviruses, mainly follow an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes and birds, but also infect humans and other mammals. Since 2010, their epidemiological situation may have shifted from irregular epidemics to endemicity in several European regions; this requires confirmation, as it could have implications for risk assessment and surveillance strategies.

Aim
To explore the seroprevalence in animals and humans and potential endemicity of WNV and USUV in Southern France, given a long history of WNV outbreaks and the only severe human USUV case in France in this region.

Methods
We evaluated the prevalence of WNV and USUV in a repeated cross-sectional study by serological and molecular analyses of human, dog, horse, bird and mosquito samples in the Camargue area, including the city of Montpellier, between 2016 and 2020.

Results
We observed the active transmission of both viruses and higher USUV prevalence in humans, dogs, birds and mosquitoes, while WNV prevalence was higher in horses. In 500 human samples, 15 were positive for USUV and 6 for WNV. Genetic data showed that the same lineages, WNV lineage 1a and USUV lineage Africa 3, were found in mosquitoes in 2015, 2018 and 2020.

Conclusion
These findings support existing literature suggesting endemisation in the study region and contribute to a better understanding of USUV and WNV circulation in Southern France. Our study underlines the importance of a One Health approach for the surveillance of these viruses.

Authors: Chaves Cecilia Ferreira , Santos Wesley Cirino dos , Lamounier Wagner Moura 
Published: June 2022

This article verified if management operational decisions at the publicly held companies is influenced by companies’ capital structures. It verified if some companies with a greater emphasis on debt financing would be more likely to practice earnings management by operational decision. The study used as a sample of the non-financial publicly held companies listed in the Brazilian capital market in the period from 2010 to 2018. As a result, it was found that there was a significant and positive correspondence between greater debt financing and a higher frequency of earnings management. Therefore, the increase in debt financing, regardless of the proxy used, implied an increase in earnings management by operational decisions. Furthermore, by analyzing the ratio between debt and equity it was found that the greater the long-term debt to the detriment of short-term debt, the more likely the managers of the firms will be to manage the results. Finally, in terms of the control variables created, the negative and significant relation between corporate governance and earnings management in the analysis of long-term debt financing stands out.

Gerenciamento de resultadospor decisões operacionais e financiamento por dívida no mercado de capitais brasileiro
Resumo
Este artigo analisou se o gerenciamento de resultados por decisões operacionais nas companhias abertas apresenta relação com a estrutura de capital. Buscou-se verificar se firmas com maior ênfase em financiamento por dívida teriam maior tendência a praticar gerenciamento de resultados por meio de decisões de natureza operacional. Utilizou-se como amostra as companhias abertas não financeiras listadas no mercado de capitais brasileirono período de 2010 a 2018. Como resultado, foi verificado que houve uma correspondência significante e positiva entre maior financiamento por dívida e maior frequência de gerenciamento de resultados. Sendo assim, o aumento do financiamento por dívida, independentemente da proxy utilizada, implicou em um aumento do gerenciamento de resultados por decisões operacionais. Ademais, foi verificado pela análise do quociente entre dívidas e capital próprio que quanto maior for a dívida de longo prazo em detrimento dívida de curto prazo, mais propensos os gestores das firmas estarão a gerenciar os resultados. Por fim, em termos das variáveis de controle criadas, destaca-se a relação negativa e significativa verificada entre governança corporativa e gerenciamento de resultados na análise de financiamento da dívida de longo prazo.

Simulation of braking vehicles with drivers, autonomous vehicles and collaborative vehicles
Abstract
The challenges faced by autonomous vehicles in terms of location, navigation, detection of obstacles and safety still need solutions, allowing a vast field for studies and research. The gradual insertion of autonomous vehicles on traffic routes will increase the number of encounters between these vehicles, making communication between them viable, known as V2V (vehicle to vehicle). This work performs a literature review on vehicular collaboration and shows the simulation results of braking scenarios, in order to compare the reaction time effects of common vehicles, autonomous vehicles and collaborative vehicles. Matlab was used to carry out vehicles platoon simulations traveling in a single file. The simulation results show the influence of reaction time and message transmission in an attempt to avoid collisions.

Education, Political Trust, and Perceptions of Distributive Justice——An Empirical Research in China
Authors: Jiang Yali 
Published: June 2022

Using data from the General Social Survey of Wuhan in 2014, this paper designs three paths to analyze the direct and indirect effects between education and perception of distributive justice income. The first path explores whether education directly affects people’s feeling of distributive justice. The second path connects education to socioeconomic status in to determine whether higher status creates a higher perception of distributive justice. The last path introduces political trust as mediating variable to evaluate the relationship between political trust and justice perception. Results show that only education can promote the feeling of justice through improving people’s political trust.

A small deposit for plastic packaging waste could improve sorting habits in rural areas

Published: June 2022

There is an intent to increase the recycling rate of plastic waste in the European Union. Yet, the current actions have not been sufficient to achieve the recycling targets. Especially the most sparsely populated rural areas have been identified to be the most challenging area for waste management, as distances between households and recycling points are long. Consequently, more attention should be paid to the waste management methods of rural inhabitants.
Previously, economic incentives have been identified as an important driver for better recycling habits. In the present study, a deposit-based recycling system for plastic packaging is introduced in a study area in rural Finland. Two deposit allocation systems were studied, where the deposits were allocated based on the returned plastic-mass or the number of specified plastic items returned. The results show that a small deposit can drive consumers to improve their sorting, and those respondents who had previously disposed plastic with mixed waste or incinerated plastic waste in domestic fireplaces improved their sorting habits. A mass-based deposit allocation system was favored over a piece-based deposit system. Implementing this practice would enhance consumer-based sorting, recycling, and refinability of plastic waste and enable rural areas to meet the recycling targets.

Probolinggo has done the policy of planning worthy children regency. It can be said that Probolinggo has just step up to do that policy. The purpose of the research is to describe the implementation of planning worthy children regency in Probolinggo and to know the factors that support and embedded the success of the policy. The research used qualitative approach by descriptive research. The result of the research showed that the implementation of worthy children policy used Darwin theory by doing 3 steps: interpreting, organizing and applying. The factors that supports its success is the commitment of departments and the leader in fulfilling the facilities and budgeting, although the ego-sectoral of departments were still exist. This could slow up the coordination and the success of KLA. In sort, it needs more intentional coordination and the same commitment and paradigm from the regency to rural level.
Creation and validation of a bilingual test to estimate aural and written vocabulary size
Authors: Aoiz Martín 
Published: June 2022

Language learners’ vocabulary size is a reliable predictor of their success in a second language as it clearly correlates with better performances in the target language. Being precise in those estimations is paramount to plan language teaching. However, the instruments employed by previous studies for those estimations might present validity and reliability issues that affect their research sensitivity and accuracy.
This paper presents a step-by-step account of the creation of an aural and a written version of a bilingual vocabulary test. Test was delivered to 73 adult L1-Spanish students attending English classes. Their answers were analysed with Rasch model to determine the best performing items in the test so that the overall reliability of the instrument was enhanced.
The final version of the test presents high levels of reliability: .89 for the listening vocabulary test and .82 for the written vocabulary test. Furthermore, descriptive statistics confirm that recognizing the words in their aural form is more challenging than in their written form: participants got 10.80% fewer correct answers in the listening vocabulary test. This finding confirms the claim that aural and written vocabulary are two separate dimensions, and impacts on how vocabulary should be taught in L2 classrooms.

Introducción. Las variantes en el número de copias son un tipo de cambios en el genoma provocan anomalías congénitas.
Objetivo. Determinar las variantes en el número de copias y el grado de consanguinidad parental en neonatos con síndromes malformativos o una anomalía congénita mayor asociado a dismorfia facial o hipotonía.
Material y métodos. Se realizó el análisis cromosómico por micromatrices a 60 neonatos con anomalías congénitas evaluados en los Hospitales Antonio Lorena y Regional de Cusco.
Resultados. Del total de pacientes estudiados, el 70% tuvo un resultado anómalo; de los cuales en el 14,2% de los recién nacidos se encontraron variantes en el número de copias patogénicas o probablemente patogénicas asociadas o no a regiones de homocigosidad que tuvieron relación con las anomalías congénitas descritas. En el 48,3% de los recién se encontró regiones de homocigosidad mayores a 0,5% (coeficiente de endogamia superior a 1/64). Por otro lado, encontramos cinco variantes en el número de copias de patogenicidad desconocida que no se han descrito anteriormente y podrían estar relacionadas con el fenotipo.
Conclusiones. Nuestra tasa de detección de las variantes en el número de copias está en relación con los reportes internacionales previos. Sin embargo, el porcentaje de neonatos con consanguinidad parental se encuentra por encima de lo reportado previamente, siendo superior a otras regiones de Sudamerica. Este es el primer reporte en el Perú, y es pionero en Latinoamérica al utilizar el análisis cromosómico por micromatrices en esta cohorte específica de pacientes.

<p> </p>
<p>Sentiment analysis is a tool used in many areas (marketing, management, sociology) and its effectiveness depends on the quality of sources and the volume of data gathered. The authors present procedures that allow the collection of large volumes of text data and the processing thereof, the result of which is a quick (practically in real time) assessment of emotions and their changes. In the example analysis Russian sources are given (in the Russian language, creating a system of media monopolised by the authorities). The analysis was between week 1 and 17 of 2022 - before and during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The results obtained, trends of changes in sentiments pertain to Presidents Joe Biden, Andrzej Duda, Aleksandr Lukashenko, Emmanuel Macron, Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin - the results are emotionally charged figures of presidents created for the internal purposes of Russia and provide significant information for analysts of the ongoing conflict. Obtaining similar results without the use of information technology is practically impossible. Sentiment analysis of large resources makes it possible to detect the change dynamics that are difficult for a human being to capture (a person analysing source materials). Concurrently, the cost and time of obtaining results recommends the described method as supporting analytical work. </p>

OBJECTIVE
The goal of the study was to define and quantify brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) compactness and to assess its effect on outcomes after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for unruptured bAVMs.

METHODS
Unsupervised machine learning with fuzzy c-means clustering was used to differentiate the tissue constituents of bAVMs on T2-weighted MR images. The percentages of vessel, brain, and CSF were quantified. The proposed compactness index, defined as the ratio of vasculature tissue to brain tissue, categorized bAVM morphology into compact, intermediate, and diffuse types according to the tertiles of this index. The outcomes of interest were complete obliteration and radiation-induced changes (RICs).

RESULTS
A total of 209 unruptured bAVMs treated with GKRS were retrospectively included. The median imaging and clinical follow-up periods were 49.2 and 72.3 months, respectively. One hundred seventy-three bAVMs (82.8%) achieved complete obliteration after a median latency period of 43.3 months. The rates of RIC and permanent RIC were 76.1% and 3.8%, respectively. Post-GKRS hemorrhage occurred in 14 patients (6.7%), resulting in an annual bleeding risk of 1.0%. Compact bAVM, smaller bAVM volume, and exclusively superficial venous drainage were independent predictors of complete obliteration. Diffuse bAVM morphology, larger bAVM volume, and higher margin dose were independently associated with RICs.

CONCLUSIONS
The compactness index quantitatively describes the compactness of unruptured bAVMs. Moreover, compact bAVMs may have a higher obliteration rate and a smaller risk of RICs than diffuse bAVMs. This finding could help guide decision-making regarding GKRS treatment for patients with unruptured bAVMs.
ICP, CPP, and PRx in traumatic brain injury and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: association of insult intensity and duration with clinical outcome
Authors: Svedung Wettervik Teodor , Hånell Anders , Howells Timothy , Ronne Engström Elisabeth , Lewén Anders , Enblad Per 
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE
The primary aim of this study was to determine the combined effect of insult intensity and duration of intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and pressure reactivity index (PRx) on outcome measured with the Glasgow Outcome Scale–Extended (GOS-E) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

METHODS
This observational study included all TBI and aSAH patients treated in the neurointensive care unit in Uppsala, Sweden, 2008–2018, with at least 24 hours of ICP monitoring during the first 10 days following injury and available long-term clinical outcome data. ICP, CPP, and PRx insults were visualized as 2D plots to highlight the effects of both insult intensity and duration on patient outcome.

RESULTS
Of 950 included patients, 436 were TBI and 514 aSAH patients. The TBI patients were younger, more often male, and exhibited worse neurological status at admission, but recovered more favorably than the aSAH patients. There was a transition from good to poor outcome with ICP above 15–20 mm Hg in both TBI and aSAH. The two diagnoses had opposite CPP patterns. In TBI patients, CPP episodes at or below 80 mm Hg were generally favorable, whereas CPP episodes above 80 mm Hg were favorable in the aSAH patients. In the TBI patients there was a transition from good to poor outcome when PRx exceeded zero, but no evident transition was found in the aSAH cohort.

CONCLUSIONS
The insult intensity and duration plots formulated in this study illustrate the similarities and differences between TBI and aSAH patients. In particular, aSAH patients may benefit from much higher CPP targets than TBI patients.
