description: China implemented diverse varicella vaccination strategies from 2012 to 2022, with unclear protective effects. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of two varicella vaccination (VarV) (the two-dose self-paid VarV and the two-dose free VarV) strategies implemented in Guangdong Province, China. We collected data on varicella cases and doses administered to children aged 0–14 in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Foshan from 2012 to 2022. Using Bayesian Structured Time Series (BSTS) model, we estimated the effects of the two VarV strategies in Guangzhou and Shenzhen starting from 2018, by referencing Foshan. Post-implementation of the two-dose self-paid VarV strategy 36,749 (95% CI: 29070, 44428) and 24,179 (95% CI: 16400, 31958) varicella cases were averted in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with a protection rate of 41.8% (95% CI: 36.3%, 46.5%) and 38.9% (95% CI: 30.2%, 45.7%), respectively. After the adoption of the two-dose free VarV strategy, a substantial relative protection rate of 64.2% (95% CI: 58.0%, 68.7%) in varicella cases was observed in Shenzhen, with 38,828 (95% CI: 29979, 47677) cases averted by 2022. The two-dose VarV strategies have proven highly effective in reducing varicella incidence. The experience in Shenzhen underscores the benefits of a two-dose free VarV strategy.

description: When using ecological momentary assessment data (EMA), missing data is pervasive as participant attrition is a common issue. Thus, any EMA study must have a missing data plan. In this paper, we discuss missingness in time series analysis and the appropriate way to handle missing data when the data is modeled as an idiographic discrete time continuous measure state-space model. We found that Missing Completely at Random, Missing At Random, and Time-dependent Missing At Random data have less bias and variability than Autoregressive Time-dependent Missing At Random and Missing Not At Random. The Kalman filter excelled at handling missing data under most conditions. Contrary to the literature, we found that using a variety of methods, multiple imputations struggled to recover the parameters.

description: Brazil’s large biofuels industry generates significant amounts of effluents, e.g., vinasse from bioethanol, that can effectively be used as substrate for production of biogas via Anaerobic Digestion (AD). The Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) is the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of methane into ethylene, which is a main building block for the chemical industry. This work investigates the potential and competitiveness of bio-ethylene production via OCM using biogas produced by biological anaerobiosis of vinasse as a feedstock. The proposed process can add incentive to treat of vinasse via AD and replace fossil ethylene, thus potentially reducing emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG). A process model is developed in Aspen Plus v10 software and used to design an economic Biogas-based Oxidative Coupling of Methane (Bio-OCM) process that consumes biogas and oxygen as educts and produces ethylene, ethane, and light off-gases as products. Operating conditions in the reaction section are optimized and a reaction product yield of 16.12% is reached by applying two adiabatic Packed Bed Reactors (PBRs) in series. For the downstream CO2 removal section, a standalone amine-absorption process is simulated and compared to a hybrid membrane-absorption process on an economic basis. For the distillation section, two different configurations with and without Recycle Split Vapor (RSV) are simulated and compared. The bio-ethylene production cost for a Bio-OCM plant to be installed in Brazil is estimated considering a wide range of prices for educts, utility, side products, and equipment within a Monte Carlo simulation. The resulting average production cost of bio-ethylene is 0.53 ±0.73 USD kgC2H4-1. The production cost is highly sensitive to the sales price assigned to a light off-gas side-product stream containing mostly the un-reacted methane. A sales price close to that of Brazilian pipeline natural gas has been assumed based on the characteristics of this stream. The Monte Carlo simulation shows that a bio-ethylene production cost below or equal to 0.70 USD kgC2H4-1 is achieved with a 55.2% confidence, whereas market values for fossil ethylene typically lie between 0.70USD kgC2H4-1–1.50USD kgC2H4-1. Technical and economic challenges for the industrial implementation of the proposed Bio-OCM process are identified and relevant opportunities for further research and improvement are discussed.

description: This dissertation explores the alteration of uranium(VI) phases relevant to storage of uranium ore concentrates prior to fuel fabrication and the storage of used nuclear fuel in a geological repository. The two main research foci are (i) characterizing the pressure-induced structural changes of uranyl silicate minerals relevant to storage of used nuclear fuel in a geological repository and (ii) probing the alteration of U3O8 submerged in dilute aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide or stored in high relative humidity atmospheres with and without added ozone.
The first area of research used single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) and Raman spectroscopy to characterize the structural changes of natural samples of boltwoodite, K0.63Na0.37[(UO2)(SiO3OH)]·1.5H2O, and uranophane-a, Ca[(UO2)2(SiO3OH)2]·5H2O, at gigapascal (GPa)-range pressures achieved using diamond anvil cells (DACs). Boltwoodite exhibited no obvious phase transition between ambient pressure and 16.8 GPa while uranophane-a underwent two pressure-induced phase transitions between ambient pressure and 17.0 GPa. The bulk moduli of boltwoodite, uranophane-a and its high pressure phases were 26.3(4) GPa, 38.0(1.3), 27.1(7), and 12.4(1.0) GPa, respectively. This dissertation is the first to report high-pressure SC-XRD of any uranium(VI) mineral and describes the method developed to maximize crystallographic coverage in a DAC.
The second area of research used partial least squares regression analysis of Raman spectra to quantify the alteration phases formed from U3O8 in the presence of reactive oxygen species. This work determined the sequence of formation of uranyl oxide hydrates and uranyl peroxides from U3O8 submerged in dilute aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide or stored in elevated relative humidity (RH) atmospheres with and without added ozone. Submersion experiments revealed the previously unreported rehydration of metastudtite, [(UO2)(O2)(H2O)2], to studtite, [(UO2)(O2)(H2O)2]·2H2O. High RH experiments determined that uranyl peroxides, the dominant alteration products, and uranyl oxide hydrates co-formed from U3O8 in atmospheres with 85% or 100% RH, with and without added ozone.

description: Um den Menschen bedarfsgerecht und ergonomisch unterstützen zu können, müssen Assistenzsysteme die Bewegungen
und Bewegungsabsichten des Nutzers frühzeitig erkennen. Die Individualität der menschlichen Bewegung ist dabei eine
besondere Herausforderung. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass maschinelles Lernen geeignet ist, um aus den Daten ausgewählter,
am Körper getragener Sensoren sieben alltägliche Bewegungssituationen zu unterscheiden. Ein Convolutional Neural Network
erkennt Merkmale in den Bewegungsdaten, welche nicht nur auf die aktuelle Situation schließen lassen, sondern auch
als Frühindikatoren dienen, aus denen eine kommende Bewegung antizipiert werden kann. Dazu ermittelt das Netzwerk für
jede vordefinierte Situation eine Plausibilität im laufenden Betrieb basierend auf den Sensorsignalen des Assistenzsystems.
Das hier beschriebene Modell wurde mit Bewegungsdaten von sechs Personen trainiert, wodurch eine Erkennungsgenauigkeit
von 99,1 % erreicht wurde. Die Robustheit der Erkennung ist mit der Einführung einer Konfidenz gegeben und somit
ein Einsatz der Situationserkennung an einer aktiven Kniegelenkorthese möglich.

description: We address the problem of uncertainty quantification for graph-structured data, or, more specifically, the problem to quantify the predictive uncertainty in (semi-supervised) node classification. Key questions in this regard concern the distinction between two different types of uncertainty, aleatoric and epistemic, and how to support uncertainty quantification by leveraging the structural information provided by the graph topology. Challenging assumptions and postulates of state-of-the-art methods, we propose a novel approach that represents (epistemic) uncertainty in terms of mixtures of Dirichlet distributions and refers to the established principle of linear opinion pooling for propagating information between neighbored nodes in the graph. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated in a series of experiments on a variety of graph-structured datasets.

description: The coxsackievirus B3 strain PD-0 has been proposed as a new oncolytic virus for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma. Here, we generated a cDNA clone of PD-0 and analyzed the virus PD-H, newly generated from this cDNA, in xenografted and syngenic models of colorectal cancer. Replication and cytotoxic assays revealed that PD-H replicated and lysed colorectal carcinoma cell lines in vitro as well as PD-0. Intratumoral injection of PD-H into subcutaneous DLD-1 tumors in nude mice resulted in strong inhibition of tumor growth and significantly prolonged the survival of the animals, but virus-induced systemic infection was observed in one of the six animals. In a syngenic mouse model of subcutaneously growing Colon-26 tumors, intratumoral administration of PD-H led to a significant reduction of tumor growth, the prolongation of animal survival, the prevention of tumor-induced cachexia, and the elevation of CD3+ and dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment. No virus-induced side effects were observed. After intraperitoneal application, PD-H induced weak pancreatitis and myocarditis in immunocompetent mice. By equipping the virus with target sites of miR-375, which is specifically expressed in the pancreas, organ infections were prevented. Moreover, employment of this virus in a syngenic mouse model of CT-26 peritoneal carcinomatosis resulted in a significant reduction in tumor growth and an increase in animal survival. The results demonstrate that the immune status of the host, the route of virus application, and the engineering of the virus with target sites of suitable microRNAs are crucial for the use of PD-H as an oncolytic virus.

First, it critically reviews some results arrived at by Sun (2021), an article that discusses the interplay of Chinese zhiyou ‘only’ with an empty exclusive operator while denying any interesting interaction between zhiyou and the scalar particle cai (against the view defended by Hole, 2004, 2017). Second, it develops a featural account to analyze the morphosyntactic interaction between zhiyou and cai . In sum, the gist of Sun’s and Hole’s views complement each other.

description: In mobile crowd computing (MCC), smart mobile devices (SMDs) are utilized as computing resources. To achieve satisfactory performance and quality of service, selecting the most suitable resources (SMDs) is crucial. The selection is generally made based on the computing capability of an SMD, which is defined by its various fixed and variable resource parameters. As the selection is made on different criteria of varying significance, the resource selection problem can be duly represented as an MCDM problem. However, for the real-time implementation of MCC and considering its dynamicity, the resource selection algorithm should be time-efficient. In this paper, we aim to find out a suitable MCDM method for resource selection in such a dynamic and time-constraint environment. For this, we present a comparative analysis of various MCDM methods under asymmetric conditions with varying selection criteria and alternative sets. Various datasets of different sizes are used for evaluation. We execute each program on a Windows-based laptop and also on an Android-based smartphone to assess average runtimes. Besides time complexity analysis, we perform sensitivity analysis and ranking order comparison to check the correctness, stability, and reliability of the rankings generated by each method.

description: Thanks to the beneficial properties of probiotic bacteria, there exists an immense demand for their consumption in probiotic foods worldwide. Nevertheless, it is difficult to retain a high number of viable cells in probiotic food products during their storage and gastrointestinal transit. Microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria is an effective way of enhancing probiotic viability by limiting cell exposure to extreme conditions via the gastrointestinal tract before releasing them into the colon. This research aims to develop a new coating material system of microencapsulation to protect probiotic cells from adverse environmental conditions and improve their recovery rates. Hence, Lactobacillus rhamnosus was encapsulated with emulsion/internal gelation techniques in a calcium chloride solution. Alginate–probiotic microbeads were coated with xanthan gum, gum acacia, sodium caseinate, chitosan, starch, and carrageenan to produce various types of microcapsules. The alginate+xanthan microcapsules exhibited the highest encapsulation efficiency (95.13 ± 0.44%); they were simulated in gastric and intestinal juices at pH 3 during 1, 2, and 3 h incubations at 37 °C. The research findings showed a remarkable improvement in the survival rate of microencapsulated probiotics under simulated gastric conditions of up to 83.6 ± 0.89%. The morphology, size, and shape of the microcapsules were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. For the protection of probiotic bacteria under simulated intestinal conditions; alginate microbeads coated with xanthan gum played an important role, and exhibited a survival rate of 87.3 ± 0.79%, which was around 38% higher than that of the free cells (49.4 ± 06%). Our research findings indicated that alginate+xanthan gum microcapsules have a significant potential to deliver large numbers of probiotic cells to the intestines, where cells can be released and colonized for the consumer’s benefit.

description: Understanding how cities evolve through time and how humans interact with their surroundings is a complex but essential task that is necessary for designing better urban environments. Recent developments in artificial intelligence can give researchers and city developers powerful tools, and through their usage, new insights can be gained on this issue. Discovering a high-level structure in a set of observations within a low-dimensional manifold is a common strategy used when applying machine learning techniques to tackle several problems while finding a projection from and onto the underlying data distribution. This so-called latent manifold can be used in many applications such as clustering, data visualization, sampling, density estimation, and unsupervised learning. Moreover, data of city patterns has some particularities, such as having superimposed or natural patterns that correspond to those of the depicted locations. In this research, multiple manifolds are explored and derived from city pattern images. A set of quantitative and qualitative tests are proposed to examine the quality of these manifolds. In addition, to demonstrate these tests, a novel specialized dataset of city patterns of multiple locations is created, with the dataset capturing a set of recognizable superimposed patterns.

subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: In Cameroon, SMEs represent over 95% of total enterprises in the country. They are important to the Cameroonian economy. Although they represent a substantial amount of total enterprises, they still encounter challenges relating to financing their businesses. Islamic SME financing has not been popular in the country especially that Islamic finance in Cameroon is still in its infancy stage. There are three microfinance institutions offering Islamic financial products, amongst which one is a Muslim cooperative. However, they have been facing challenges. It is in light of these, that this thesis will attempt to evaluate these microfinance institutions in order to have a clearer picture of the challenges they face and attempt to provide suggestions to address those challenges. For that purpose, a semi-structured interview with the managers of the microfinance institutions has been conducted in order to evaluate them and propose suggestions that could help improve the operations and the functioning of the microfinance institutions. The findings revealed that the challenges that these institutions encounter are related to lack of knowledge of Islamic finance on part of both the staffs and the beneficiaries, lack of awareness of the availability of Islamic financial products, lack of sufficient budget to finance the high demand of financing, lack of personal finance provision, and low recovery rate. Thus, the proposed suggestions will address and remedy the above mentioned challenges that the Cameroonian Microfinance institutions encounter. This research will act as gauge to measure the performance of the current MFIs so as to enable it achieve its full potential in terms of addressing the needs of Muslim small entrepreneurs and improving their products and services.

description: Throughout the United States and Canada, groups of newcomers, including resettled refugees and immigrants, get together to work on various artistic projects.  In some cases, newcomer artisans sustain traditional arts and crafts-making skills from their countries of origin.  In other cases, artisans learn new artistic skills and techniques with the intention of selling products to generate supplemental income or developing employable job skills.  By participating in these groups, newcomers have opportunities to practice English, engage in cross-cultural exchange, express themselves creatively, and forge new friendships.  Newcomers often feel a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence, belonging, and improved well-being by participating in these groups.  Furthermore, the broader communities in which these groups exist benefit from a more diverse and culturally vibrant environment.

description: Hox genes are involved in the patterning of animal body parts at multiple levels of regulatory hierarchies. Early expression of Hox genes in different domains along the embryonic anterior-posterior (A/P) axis in insects, vertebrates, and other animals establishes segmental or regional identity. However, Hox gene function is also required later in development for the patterning and morphogenesis of limbs and other organs. In Drosophila, spatiotemporal modulation of Sex combs reduced (Scr) expression within the first thoracic (T1) leg underlies the generation of segment- and sex-specific sense organ patterns. High Scr expression in defined domains of the T1 leg is required for the development of T1-specific transverse bristle rows in both sexes and sex combs in males, implying that the patterning of segment-specific sense organs involves incorporation of Scr into the leg development and sex determination gene networks. We sought to gain insight into this process by identifying the cis-and trans-regulatory factors that direct Scr expression during leg development. We have identified two cis-regulatory elements that control spatially modulated Scr expression within T1 legs. One of these enhancers directs sexually dimorphic expression and is required for the formation of T1-specific bristle patterns. We show that the Distalless and Engrailed homeodomain transcription factors act through sequences in this enhancer to establish elevated Scr expression in spatially defined domains. This enhancer functions to integrate Scr into the intrasegmental gene regulatory network, such that Scr serves as a link between leg patterning, sex determination, and sensory organ development.

description: The purpose of this study was to study the learning outcomes of undergraduate students in social studies seminar and their analytical thinking ability through inductive and deductive based Instruction. The samples were purposive sampling of fourth year undergraduate students from social studies program who took Social Studies Seminar course in second semester of 2015. Sample Random Sampling was chosen to divide the samples into two groups with experimental and control groups of 40 each. The experimental group was conducted using inductive based instruction while the control group was conducted using deductive based instruction. The 16 periods were used with each group. The randomized control group pretest and posttest design were also used. T-test independent sample and t-test dependent sample were statistically used to determine different score. The findings were as followed: 1. There were no differences between the undergraduate students taught by inductive with deductive based instruction. 2. The undergraduate students taught by inductive based instruction gained higher posttest achievement on social studies seminar than in pretest criterion at the 0.01 level of significance. 3. The undergraduate students taught by deductive based instruction gained higher posttest achievement on social studies seminar than in pretest criterion at the 0.01 level of significance. 4. There were no differences in analytical thinking ability between the undergraduate students taught by inductive and deductive based instruction. 5. The undergraduate students taught by inductive based instruction gained higher analytical thinking ability in posttest than in pretest criterion at the 0.01 level of significance. 6. The undergraduate students taught by deductive based instruction gained higher analytical thinking ability in posttest than in pretest criterion at the 0.01 level of significance.

description: Cellulose has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to traditional polyolefin-based lithium-ion battery (LIB) separators due to its good mechanical properties. Furthermore, it can also be employed in gel mixtures to improve their mechanical properties. When dissolved in certain ionic liquids (ILs), cellulose can form a 3D network that gives rise to soft-solid, jelly like materials that do not flow, known as ionogels. In this work, ionogels prepared with kraft cellulose pulp and the IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethyl phosphate, [EMIm][DMP], were formulated and characterized as potential electrolytes in aqueous batteries.

description: The mission of transforming global food systems into sustainable ones was declared at the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit. The rhetoric around this mission pushes a wide range of public, private and civic actors to take significant actions across a range of types of food systems, in order to ensure the achievement of this mission. Specific attention is drawn to the need for these food systems to be inclusive of alternative forms of knowledge, which are often produced outside of the conventional systems of research and innovation. In this article, we explore the challenge of generalising system innovations based on alternative ways of knowing by examining three cases of systems innovation in French food systems. We revisit the recent literature on transformative change, mechanisms of generalisation and intermediation in order to respond to a research gap about the operationalisation of system innovation generalisation. We suggest that four objects of intermediation – knowledge, value(s), infrastructure and rules – work to generalise system innovations. Through a comparative analysis of the intermediated movement of food systems from one situation to the next resulting in turning points along a trajectory, we offer new insights into how transformative change in food systems might occur.

description: Excerpts from the report: Tobacco is now Puerto Rico's second ranking crop, whether measured by the value of production or of exports. It is exceeded only by sugarcane. Its economic importance extends beyond the cash income to producers because of the large number of people employed in its manipulation, which work is somewhat seasonal. From the time the grower delivers his crop until it is finally exported or manufactured the tobacco goes through from 10 to 20 operations, one bundle or hand at a time—in some operations, one leaf at a time. Tobacco produced is of a cigar-filler type, although small quantities are used in the manufacture of cigarettes and roll chewing tobacco. The sections producing it and the tobacco grown therein are classed as coastal, semicoastal, and interior. Tobacco from the semicoastal and interior districts is classed as cigar filler, while that from the coastal district is a chewing type, only a small percentage of it—mostly boliches—being useable for smoking purposes. Production of tobacco and manufacture of cigars were greatly stimulated by the removal of American tariff barriers, following the war of 1898. The States became the most important outlet for manufactured and unmanufactured tobacco grown on the island. The trend in recent years has been toward a moderate increase in the shipments of unmanufactured tobacco to the States, accompanied by decreased shipments of cigars. The manufacture of cigarettes for domestic consumption has almost disappeared as a result of the competition of blended cigarettes from the mainland.

description: Successful parenting requires constant inferring of affective states. Especially vital is the correct identification of facial affect. Previous studies have shown that infant faces are processed preferentially compared to adult faces both on the behavioural and the neural level. This study specifically investigates the child-evoked neural responses to affective faces and their modulation by motherhood and attention to affect. To do so, we used a paradigm to measure neural responses during both explicit and implicit facial affect recognition (FAR) in mothers and non-mothers using child and adult faces. Increased activation to child compared to adult faces was found for mothers and non-mothers in face processing areas (bilateral fusiform gyri) and areas associated with social understanding (bilateral insulae and medial superior frontal gyrus) when pooling implicit and explicit affect recognition. Furthermore, this child-evoked activation was modulated by motherhood with an increase in mothers compared to non-mothers in the left precuneus. Additionally, explicitly recognising the affect increased child-evoked activation in the medial superior frontal gyrus in both mothers and non-mothers. These results suggest preferential treatment of affective child over adult faces, modulated by motherhood and attention to affect.

description: Based on corpus data, this paper investigates the distribution of two closely related Polish constructions, viz. daleki od 'far.ADJ from' X and daleko od 'far.ADV from' X. It is shown that only the former exhibits regular extended uses involving a variety of complement types, while the latter is largely confined to spatial marking. The advanced host-class expansion of the daleki od 'far.ADJ from' X-construction is argued to reflect an ongoing, metaphorically driven process of grammaticalization.

description: The Yapese are native to the island of Yap, which is now a part of the Federated States of Micronesia. The Yapese had contact with Europeans beginning in the early sixteenth century, but the island was not officially colonized by Spain and Germany until 1885. Germany soon gained sovereignty over the island, and held power until 1914, at which time Japan took control. Yap Island was later occupied by the United States from 1944-1951, and the US Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands was formed. In 1979 the Federated States of Micronesia (including Yap Island) was established, and gained full independence in 1991. This entry focuses on Yap Island, around the time of 1910. Although Christian missionaries were present, their effects were not very successful, and the Yap religion still consisted of native beliefs and practices. These native beliefs included a present but otiose supreme being, and (more importantly) various spirits and deities. Religious practitioners/specialists are present, and lead communal ceremonies. Religion is bound up with the functioning of society as a whole, so this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with the society at large.

description: Urban streets have undergone three major transformations in the last 350 years, corresponding to three characteristics: visual aesthetics and development, transportation infrastructure and efficiency, shared streets. Many of the city's basic elements like rivers, streets, viaducts play a crucial role in the city. The convergence of elements gives the site its uniqueness and shapes the living behaviour of its occupants. As a common urban element in the city, viaduct has a great influence on the urban spatial form. However, the space under the viaduct in China is lack of effective use and reasonable planning and difficult to pass efficiently.
This paper will analyse and summarise the adaptive renewal design of the space under the viaduct based on the urban morphological characteristics, aiming at the water landscape and space idle problems of the space under the viaduct at the intersection of Siping Road and Zhongshan North Second Road in Shanghai.
Based on the time-segment investigation and analysis of the space under viaduct at the intersection of Siping Road and Zhongshan North Second Road in Shanghai, various cases of space renewal under viaduct in foreign countries are specifically analysed for different problems and the activation direction and sharing strategy suitable for the characteristics of urban space in China are summarized by using typology method.
The corresponding sharing strategies are concluded from the perspectives of transportation sharing, landscape sharing, activity sharing and space sharing. The sharing tendency under the influence of different urban elements will also be summarized. Based on the existing practical experience and field research, this paper summarizes the space under the viaduct under the influence of different urban elements and proposes several feasible and easy to promote teaching strategies to contribute to the shared renewal of urban street space under the viaduct.
