“Snail Households”: Containerization of Migrant Housing on Shanghai's Fringe
Authors: Ling Minhua 
Published: August 2022

AbstractChina's escalated infrastructural building and real estate development have gradually erased urban villages and reduced affordable living space for rural-to-urban migrants. This article showcases the emerging practice of container housing among low-income migrants, based on ethnographic data collected between 2016 and 2018 in Shanghai. Such “snail households” living in removable cargo containers and prefabricated metal shelters represent a submissive coping mechanism in response to demolition and eviction, to reduce living cost and stay put on the urban fringe. This article examines the containerization of migrant housing, a process of sociospatial reconfiguration of migrant livelihood that has become increasingly precarious during China's economic restructuring in the twenty-first century. It shows how container housing reifies the state capitalist mode of production and accumulation. The containerization of migrant housing entails a multifaceted process of extraction of labor and land, during which migrants’ mobility and sense of entitlement are highly contained. Container housing represents migrants’ sociospatial precarity in China's exclusive urban citizenship and place-specific property regime. It symbolizes a reinforced subaltern position of migrants subdued in the politics of accumulation, which contributes to the lack of strong resistance and collective action amid forced eviction.
Information Retrieval Under Network Uncertainty: Robust Internet Ranking
Authors: Timonina-Farkas Anna , Seifert Ralf W. 
Published: August 2022

Ranking algorithms play a crucial role in information technologies and numerical analysis due to their efficiency in high dimensions and wide range of possible applications, including internet ranking, scientometrics, and systemic risk in finance (SinkRank and DebtRank). The traditional approach to internet ranking goes back to the seminal work of Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who developed the initial method PageRank (PR) in order to rank websites for search engine results based on linear algebra rules. But how robust is this method in times of rapid internet growth? Recent works have studied robust reformulations of the PageRank model for the case when links in the network structure may vary; that is, some links may appear or disappear, influencing the transportation matrix defined by the network structure. In this article, the authors make a further step forward, allowing the network to vary not only in links but also in the number of nodes. The authors focus on growing network structures and develop methods for ranking of networks uncertain both in size and in structure.

Streak tube
imaging lidar (STIL) can
obtain 4-D images of a target, and its performance is mainly
determined by the streak tube sensor. To obtain a large field of view,
we developed a streak tube
with a photocathode length as large as 35.3 mm, which is larger than
the commonly used ST-HDR (30 mm). At the same time, the temporal
resolution and dynamic spatial resolution are 60 ps and 12 lp/mm,
which are very suitable to obtain accurate target coordinates for 4-D
imaging. In addition, the streak tube has a high detection sensitivity
of 46 mA/W at 500 nm and, hence, prospects in remote imaging. To test
the performance of the streak tube, an underwater STIL experiment was
conducted. Echo signal processing was performed by means of a bandpass
filter and a matched filter, and then the peak detection algorithm was
used to reconstruct the image. The results indicate that a spatial
resolution better than 9 mm is achieved in the limpid water with a
depth of 20 m, and a range accuracy of 1 cm is achieved in the turbid
water with a depth of 10 m. Such a performance suggests that the
large-field streak tube is of great potential for underwater target
imaging and other remote imaging applications.

The design of a compact zoom lens requires a designer’s most abundant and professional
skills and experience, which increases the difficulty of zoom lens
miniaturization. In this paper, an automatic optimal focal length
search method for a catadioptric zoom lens is proposed. After 7 h of
searching for the initial structure and further optimization, a

Purpose(1) To investigate the relative importance of convenience (consultation frequency and injection frequency) against treatment outcomes (visual and anatomical outcomes) and out-of-pocket medical costs via a discrete choice experiment (DCE), and (2) to investigate how patient characteristics affect patient treatment preferences.MethodsEligibility criteria were: (1) receiving a neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) diagnosis; (2) receiving anti-VEGF treatment; (3) being ≥21 years old, and (4) being able to speak and understand English/Mandarin. Patients were presented with eight choice tasks and asked to choose between their current treatment and two hypothetical treatments that varied by six attributes: number of clinic visits in a year, number of injections in a year, vision quality, control of swelling in retina, drug labelling and out-of-pocket cost.ResultsThis analysis involved 180 patients. Based on latent class logistic regressions, vision quality was the most important attribute (34%) followed by cost (24%). The frequency of total clinic visits (15%) was the third most-important attribute, closely followed by labelling (12%) and control of retina swelling (11%). Injection frequency was the least important attribute (4%).ConclusionsVision quality was the most important attribute followed by the out-of-pocket costs. Given the same outcomes, patients preferred treatment regimens which require fewer total clinic visits. In comparison, injection frequency alone did not influence patient preferences. With increasing treatment options for nAMD, understanding patients’ preferences can help clinicians in selecting agents and treatment regimen most preferred for each patient, which may lead to improved long-term adherence and outcomes.

Published: August 2022

Background
We examined the determinants of adolescents’ Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and psychological distress (self-reported and parent-reported) during the COVID-19 pandemic, using a random sample of the population of Geneva, Switzerland.

Methods
Data was drawn from participants aged 14–17 years, who participated with their families to a serosurvey conducted in November and December 2020. Adolescents’ HRQoL was evaluated using the validated adolescent-reported KIDSCREEN-10 and parent-reported KINDL® scales. Psychological distress was assessed with self-reported sadness and loneliness, and using the KINDL® emotional well-being scale. Using generalized estimating equations, we examined the role of socio-demographic, family and behavioural characteristics in influencing adolescents’ mental health status and wellbeing.

Results
Among 240 adolescents, 11% had a low HRQoL, 35% reported sadness and 23% reported loneliness. Based on parents’ perception, 12% of the adolescents had a low HRQoL and 16% a low emotional well-being. Being a girl (aOR = 3.20; 95%CI: 1.67–6.16), increased time on social media (aOR = 2.07; 95%CI: 1.08–3.97), parents’ average to poor mood (aOR = 2.62; 95%CI: 1.10–6.23) and average to poor household financial situation (aOR = 2.31; IC95%: 1.01–6.10) were associated with an increased risk of sadness. Mismatches between adolescents’ and their parents’ perception of HRQoL were more likely for girls (aOR = 2.88; 95%CI: 1.54–5.41) and in households with lower family well-being (aOR = 0.91; 95%CI: 0.86–0.96).

Conclusions
A meaningful proportion of adolescents experienced low well-being during the second wave of COVID-19, and average well-being was lower than pre-pandemic estimates. Adolescents living in underprivileged or distressed families seemed particularly affected. Monitoring is necessary to evaluate the long-term effects of the pandemic on adolescents.
Damage‐induced regeneration of the intestinal stem cell pool through enteroblast mitosis in the Drosophila midgut
Authors: Tian Aiguo , Morejon Virginia , Kohoutek Sarah , Huang Yi‐Chun , Deng Wu‐Min , Jiang Jin 
Published: August 2022

AbstractMany adult tissues and organs including the intestine rely on resident stem cells to maintain homeostasis and regeneration. In mammals, the progenies of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) can dedifferentiate to generate ISCs upon ablation of resident stem cells. However, whether and how mature tissue cells generate ISCs under physiological conditions remains unknown. Here, we show that infection of the Drosophila melanogaster intestine with pathogenic bacteria induces entry of enteroblasts (EBs), which are ISC progenies, into the mitotic cycle through upregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐Ras signaling. We also show that ectopic activation of EGFR‐Ras signaling in EBs is sufficient to drive enteroblast mitosis cell autonomously. Furthermore, we find that the dividing enteroblasts do not gain ISC identity as a prerequisite to divide, and the regenerative ISCs are produced through EB mitosis. Taken together, our work uncovers a new role for EGFR‐Ras signaling in driving EB mitosis and replenishing the ISC pool during fly intestinal regeneration, which may have important implications for tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis in vertebrates.
The Influence of Accessibility on Perceptions of People with Disabilities (French Translation)
Authors: Soetemans Julia K. , Jackson Lynne M. 
Published: August 2022

This is a French translation of an article that previously appeared in the CJDS.
Prejudice and discrimination against people with disabilities can be masked through seemingly benign expressions such as communications of pity and provision of unwanted help. Such forms of paternalism have been theorized to arise in response to social conditions that fail to highlight people’s competencies. Following this logic, the present study assessed how the accessibility of an environment shapes perceptions of competence of, and feelings of pity toward, people with disabilities. Undergraduate students (N= 111) read vignettes that described a person with one of three disabilities (related to mobility, sight or hearing) in either an accessible or an inaccessible environment and subsequently reported their perceptions of, and reactions to, the target person. In support of the hypothesis, non-disabled people viewed people with disabilities more positively in an accessible compared to an inaccessible environment. Specifically, they perceived disabled people as more competent and warm, and pitied them less, compared to in inaccessible or neutral (control) environments. The more positive responses to the disabled targets in accessible environments compared to inaccessible environments was largely consistent across disability types, although the deaf target was uniquely viewed as equally positive in the neutral (control) environment and the accessible one. These findings indicate that provision of appropriately accessible environments can be a tool of prejudice reduction.

Abstract

Background and aims
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. First-line medications consist of drugs that act by counteracting dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia. Unfortunately, iatrogenic impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs) can occur in up to 20% of PD patients over the course of their illness. ICBs must be considered multifactorial disorders that reflect the interactions of the medication with an individual's vulnerability and the underlying neurobiology of PD. We aimed to explore the predictive genetic, psychopathological and neurological factors involved in the development of ICBs in PD patients by building a complete model of individual vulnerability.

Methods
The PARKADD study was a case/non-case study. A total of 225 patients were enrolled (“ICB” group, N = 75; “no ICB” group, N = 150), and 163 agreed to provide saliva samples for genetic analysis. Sociodemographic, neurological and psychiatric characteristics were assessed, and genotyping for the characterization of polymorphisms related to dopaminergic and opioid systems was performed.

Results
Factors associated with “ICBs” were younger age of PD onset, personal history of ICB prior to PD onset and higher scores on the urgency and sensation seeking facets of impulsivity. No gene variant was significantly associated, but the association with the opioid receptor mu 1 (OPRM1) rs1799971 polymorphism was close to significance.

Discussion and conclusions
The influence of gene-environment interactions probably exists, and additional studies are needed to decipher the possible role of the opioid system in the development of ICBs in PD patients.

Authors: Bayraktar Murat , Nuran Mustafa 
Published: August 2022

The global environmental concern and the limited resources of fossil fuels warrant the use of alternative and renewable energy sources. The International Maritime Organisation aims to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions from marine vessels. In this context, in addition to the conventional propulsion system, the application of hybrid propulsion system (HPS) and diesel-electric propulsion system (DEPS) comes to the fore. This study aims to analyse electric motors, one of the HPS and DEPS equipment, in detail. In this study, HPS gains are described by performing application load tests on electric motors and diesel engines in detail. Consequently, this article found that HPS and DEPS systems will be used more widely in the maritime industry in the future, especially on tugboats operated at low loads for most of their operating time. This paper will be a prominent source for researchers and maritime sector stakeholders whose studies are concerning HPS and DEPS, particularly on electric motors.

Abstract
The current study investigated the life quality level of Saudis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive approach has been employed in the survey where a family quality of life questionnaire was applied between 274 Saudis randomly at Qassim region. The significant differences between the family members for the quality of life scale in four dimension (A; health and physical, B; emotional and psychological, C; family and social relations, and D; quality of education and study of children). All are based on the variables of parents’ (ages - educational levels – work), number of family members - family income – and area of ​​residence. Collected data illustrated that life quality of Saudi families during COVID-19 pandemic were within an average level. The highest level was A then B aspects. While quality of C were the third followed by D element. Also, family life quality for the scale as whole in families of parents' age 40 years and more was better than which parents' age ranged 30-40 or less than 30 years. Additionally, study of the children did not differ according to the education of the wife, job of the parents, number of children, nor the region of residence and according to the husband’s education either except for the emotional and psychological quality of life. In conclusion difference appeared in favor of the families whose husband’s education was university or higher educational levels. Thus better education are recommended for all the family aspects in all times and critics.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) offers substantial applications in the production of hydrogen but requires an inexpensive catalyst. Herein, phosphorylated silica (SP-PA) is used as catalyst for the generation of hydrogen from NaBH4 hydrolysis. The catalyst is prepared by sol-gel route synthesis by taking tetraethyl orthosilicate as the precursor of silica whereas phosphoric acid was served as the gelation and phosphorylating agent. The prepared catalyst is characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and EDAX. The hydrogen generation rate at SP-PA particles (762.4 mL min− 1 g−1) is higher than that of silica particles (133 mL min− 1 g− 1 of catalyst). The higher catalytic activity of SP-PA particles might be due to the acidic functionalities that enhances the hydrogen production rate. The kinetic parameters (activation energy and pre-exponential factor) are calculated from Arrhenius plot and the thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy, entropy and free energy change) are evaluated using Erying plot. The calculated activation energy for NaBH4 hydrolysis at SP-PA catalyst is 29.92 kJ.mol − 1 suggesting the high catalytic activity of SP-PA particles. The obtained entropy of activation (ΔS‡ = -97.75 JK − 1) suggested Langmuir Hinshelwood type associative mechanism for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 at SP-PA particles.
