description: Cette étude examine la relation entre les outils de contrôle de gestion (traditionnels tels que la comptabilité analytique et la gestion budgétaire, ainsi que modernes comme les tableaux de bord et les indicateurs de performance) et la performance des PME marocaines, mesurée par des critères qualitatifs : évolution du chiffre d’affaires, présence d’un plan stratégique, d’un organigramme, et satisfaction des clients. À partir d'un échantillon de 100 PME, les résultats montrent que l'adoption de ces outils est positivement influencée par la taille de l'entreprise, les entreprises de plus grande taille les utilisant de manière plus systématique. La croissance du chiffre d’affaires, l’existence d’un plan stratégique formel et d’un organigramme sont des facteurs clés qui favorisent l’implantation de ces pratiques de gestion. Cependant, aucun lien statistiquement significatif n’a été observé entre les outils de contrôle de gestion et la satisfaction des clients.

description: Laser-induced gauge fields in neutral atoms serve as a means of mimicking the effects of a magnetic field, providing researchers with a platform to explore behaviors analogous to those observed in condensed matter systems under real magnetic fields. Here, we propose a method to generate chiral motion in atomic excitations within the neutral atomic ground-state manifolds. This is achieved through the application of polychromatic driving fields coupled to the ground-Rydberg transition, along with unconventional Rydberg pumping. The scheme offers the advantage of arbitrary adjustment of the effective magnetic flux by setting the relative phases between different external laser fields. Additionally, the effective interaction strength between the atomic ground states can be maintained at 10 kHz, surpassing the capabilities of the previous approach utilizing Floquet modulation. Notably, the proposed method can be readily extended to implement a hexagonal neutral atom lattice, serving as the fundamental unit in realizing the Haldane model.

description: Despite the rise in discussions around fertility and reproductive health, recent evidence indicates that women’s fertility awareness (FA) remains low, with many avoiding essential fertility-related information (FRI). Existing research has linked low awareness to demographic factors, yet psychological and behavioural determinants have received less attention. This study, therefore, explores the influence of coping strategies (avoidant and problem-focused) on FRI-seeking and avoidance behaviours and their effect on FA. A cross-sectional survey gathered data from 216 UK-based female participants aged 18-68 (M = 31.69, SD = 10.42), measuring demographics, FA, FRI-seeking and avoidance, and coping strategies. Data underwent multiple regression and moderation analyses. The average FA score was 17.87/29 (62%). FRI-seeking positively predicted FA (p < 0.001), while FRI-avoidance negatively predicted FA (p < 0.001). Avoidant coping significantly predicted increased FRI-avoidance (p < 0.001), moderating the relationship between FRI-avoidance and FA (p < 0.001). Problem-focused coping significantly predicted FRI-seeking (p < 0.001), moderating the relationship between FRI-seeking and FA (p < 0.001). Results suggest that coping strategies influence motivation to seek and avoid FRI. Future FRI and fertility education should be tailored to suit women’s coping strategies to facilitate active engagement, which may enhance awareness and support more informed fertility decision-making.

description: The role of serum 25-OH D3 (D3) in the physiology and regulation of the female genital system has gained significant research interest. Recent data have suggested that sufficient D3 levels are associated with improved outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), although other studies failed to confirm so. Screening for D3 levels before IVF is becoming common practice in many IVF centres, and D3 insufficiency is treated with supplements before treatment. However, little is known about the effect of this intervention on D3 levels during endometrial preparation for frozen-embryo transfer (FET) cycles, especially regarding clinical outcomes. To examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation and the impact of vitamin D status in women undergoing FET cycles, a prospective study of infertile women undergoing FET cycles was carried out. Initial screening of D3 levels was performed in 252 infertile women before a FET cycle, and where insufficiency was found (<30 ng/mL) [115 (45.6%)], supplements were prescribed according to a standardized protocol. Serum D3 levels were measured at three distinct time-points: at the initiation of endometrial preparation (T1), embryo transfer (T2), and beta-hCG testing (T3). We found no significant difference in ongoing pregnancy [40 (34.8%) vs. 51 (37.2%); odds ratio (OR) 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54–1.51; adjusted OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.58–1.83], live birth, positive β-hCG, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy rates between D3-insufficient participants at T1 receiving vitamin D and D3-replete ones not receiving any supplementation (p-values >0.05). We also found no significant difference in ongoing pregnancy [21 (30.9%) vs. 66 (40.2%), and 17 (34.0%) vs. 51 (41.5%)] and the rest of the outcomes between D3-insufficient and replete participants at T2 and T3, respectively (p-values >0.05). In conclusion, this prospective cohort study of women undergoing FET cycles found no significant difference in ongoing pregnancy rates between D3-insufficient participants receiving supplementation at the beginning of endometrial preparation and replete ones receiving no supplementation. Large, high-quality trials are required to further investigate this hypothesis and compare the IVF outcomes between replete participants, insufficient participants receiving no supplementation, and insufficient participants receiving supplementation.

description: Infertility affects one in six individuals globally, with oxidative stress—modifiable through diet and lifestyle—being a key factor in female infertility. This study examines associations between dietary/lifestyle Oxidative Balance Scores (OBS) and infertility risk in reproductive-aged women. Using 2013–2018 NHANES data from 2,447 women aged 20–44, we calculated OBS (16 dietary and 4 lifestyle components) reflecting antioxidant vs. pro-oxidant exposure. Higher scores indicate antioxidant dominance. Weighted logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic and health covariates revealed an inverse linear relationship: each 1-unit OBS increase correlated with 4.7% lower infertility risk (95% CI: 0.929–0.977, p < 0.001). Women in the highest OBS tertile had 6.4% reduced odds versus lower tertiles (95% CI: 0.897–0.977, p = 0.003). Joint analyses showed higher lifestyle OBS mitigated infertility risk among women with low dietary OBS. Results remained consistent across subgroups and sensitivity analyses. These findings underscore the potential of antioxidant-rich diets and healthy lifestyles in reducing oxidative stress-related infertility, advocating for targeted interventions to improve reproductive health outcomes.

description: Soil pollution is a major global concern, with a worrisome escalation in its prevalence being observed on a daily basis. This phenomenon is influenced by a range of factors, including geogenic and anthropogenic processes. The release of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from fertilizer factories, which are anthropogenic sources, has the potential to cause soil pollution in the surrounding area. The present study investigates the physicochemical properties, PTEs concentrations, contamination characteristics, potential sources, and human health risks of soil samples collected from the vicinity of the Bandırma fertiliser factory. The soil samples exhibited a range of textures, including sandy clay loam, sandy loam, clay loam, loam, and loamy sand. The mean pH, electrical conductivity (EC), lime, and organic matter contents of the soil samples were found to be 6.89, 0.31 dSm−1, 4.82%, and 5.08%, respectively. Furthermore, the concentrations of the PTEs (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn heavy metals) analysed in the soil samples were determined to be between 0.02 and 0.99 mg kg−1, 0.55 and 24.74 mg kg−1, and 0.31 and 34 mg kg−1, respectively. 66 mg kg−1, 4.48 to 423.91 mg kg−1, 2638.61 to 61801.18 mg kg−1, 86.30 to 772.89 mg kg−1, 1.45 to 118.43 mg kg−1, 3.76 to 53.31 mg kg−1, 10.30 to 159.33 mg kg−1, respectively. The enrichment factor indicated that over half of the soils exhibited contamination with Cd and Cu, attributable to industrial activities and the use of agrochemicals. In a similar way, the geo-accumulation index demonstrated that 90.63% of the soils were contaminated with Cu, with all samples also exhibiting contamination with Mn and Zn, and 59.37% with Ni. The ecological risk factor further delineated 9.37% of the soils as exhibiting a considerable degree of risk with regard to Cd, while 3.12% were deemed to present a notable risk with respect to Cu. Of the nine PTEs present in the soil, eight (Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were of natural origin, while Cu was of mixed origin. The THI (total hazard index) values were found to be less than 1 for both children and adults. This finding indicates that there is an absence of non-carcinogenic health risks for both children and adult residents. In addition, the total carcinogenic risk (TCR) values indicated that, with the exception of Cr, there were no carcinogenic risks for children or adults.

description: Novel states of matter arise in quantum materials due to strong interactions among electrons. A nematic phase breaks the point group symmetry of the crystal lattice and is known to emerge in correlated materials. Here we report the observation of an intra-unit-cell nematic order and signatures of Pomeranchuk instability in the Kagome metal ScV6Sn6. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we reveal a stripe-like nematic order breaking the crystal rotational symmetry within the Kagome lattice itself. Moreover, we identify a set of van Hove singularities adhering to the Kagome layer electrons, which appear along one direction of the Brillouin zone while being annihilated along other high-symmetry directions, revealing a rotational symmetry breaking. Via detailed spectroscopic maps, we further observe an elliptical deformation of Fermi surface, which provides direct evidence for an electronically mediated nematic order. Our work not only bridges the gap between electronic nematicity and Kagome physics, but also sheds light on the potential mechanism for realizing symmetry-broken phases in correlated electron systems.

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants formed during the incomplete combustion of carbon-based materials. These compounds are persistent in the environment and can be harmful, with some being toxic or carcinogenic. PAHs can accumulate in soil and be absorbed by plants, posing health risks when consumed. The objective of this study was to evaluate PAHs levels in cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana), purple passion fruit (Passiflora pinnatistipula), and Hass avocado (Persea americana L. Hass), as well as in the soils used for their cultivation, to assess the health risk associated with their consumption. In this study, 56 samples were collected: 21 samples of Hass avocado, 14 samples of cape gooseberry, and 21 samples of purple passion fruit, as well as soils for each plant. The PAHs found in the higher concentrations were fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene, with maximum concentrations in Hass avocado of up to 17.5 μg/kg, 4.58 μg/kg, and 4.39 μg/kg, respectively. In purple passion fruit, the maximum values were 1.69 μg/kg, 1.15 μg/kg, and 1.20 μg/kg for fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene, respectively. For cape gooseberry, fluoranthene and pyrene were the most prevalent PAHs, with concentrations of up to 6.09 μg/kg and 1.70 μg/kg, respectively. The sum of PAHs concentrations in all samples of soil were below the contamination threshold (200 μg/kg), with a maximum value of 137 μg/kg. This indicated that these soils are not contaminated. Furthermore, the human health risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulations revealed that, at the 95th percentile, non-carcinogenic risk levels were below the critical threshold of 1.0, indicating no health risk. These results suggest that fruits in La Unión, Antioquia, are not a significant source of exposure to PAHs for the population. However, the presence of fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene in fruit samples highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring. Practical recommendations include periodic PAHs monitoring in various foods and soils, as well as the development of national regulatory guidelines to establish reference thresholds for PAHs in food. This ensures food safety and promotes agricultural practices that minimize exposure to environmental contaminants.

description: We extend the hardcore model to a multicoloured version: a subset of vertices of a graph are coloured such that no vertex is adjacent to one of the same colour; uncoloured vertices do not constrain neighbours. This mathematically models multi-channel resource sharing, such as fibreoptic routing.
 We analyse certain simple Glauber-type dynamics on such configurations, and find conditions which ensure fast mixing. These dynamics model a queueing system: customers queue for service at vertices, who only serve customers whilst they are coloured in the underlying configuration; uncoloured vertices sit idle. The mixing estimates are applied to control queue lengths in equilibrium.

description: Quantum computers currently rely on a hybrid quantum-classical approach known as Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) to solve problems. Still, there are several challenges with VQAs on the classical computing side: it corresponds to a black-box optimization problem that is generally non-convex, the observations from the quantum hardware are noisy, and the quantum computing time is expensive. The first point is inherent to the problem structure; as a result, it requires the classical part of VQAs to be solved using global optimization strategies. However, there is a trade-off between cost and accuracy; typically, quantum computers return a set of bit strings, where each bitstring is referred to as a shot. The probabilistic nature of quantum computing (QC) necessitates many shots to measure the circuit accurately. Since QC time is charged per shot, reducing the number of shots yields cheaper and less accurate observations. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using basic Bayesian optimization (BO) methods to globally optimize quantum circuit parameters. This work proposes two modifications to the basic BO framework to provide a shot-efficient optimization strategy for VQAs. Specifically, we provide a means to place a prior on the periodicity of the rotation angles and a framework to place a topological prior using few-shot quantum circuit observations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through an ablation study, showing that using both proposed features statistically outperforms a standard BO implementation within VQAs for computational chemistry simulations.

description: We report a comprehensive study of Sperrylite (PtAs2), the main platinum source in natural minerals, as a function of applied pressures up to 150 GPa. While no structural phase transition was detected from pressure-dependent X-ray measurements, the unit cell volume shrinks monotonically with pressure following the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The mildly semiconducting behavior found in pure synthesized crystals at ambient pressures becomes more insulating upon increasing applied pressure before metalizing at higher pressures, giving way to the appearance of an abrupt decrease in resistance near 3 K at pressures above 92 GPa consistent with the onset of a superconducing phase. The pressure evolution of the calculated electronic band structure reveals the same physical trend as our transport measurements, with a non-monotonic evolution explained by a hole band that is pushed below the Fermi energy and an electron band that approaches it as a function of pressure, both reaching a touching point suggestive of an excitonic state. A topological Lifshitz transition of the electronic structure and an increase in the density of states may naturally explain the onset of superconductivity in this material

description: Despite its toxic potential, the treatment of wastewaters generated at veterinary hospitals has been neglected. Thus, this is a pioneering study that addresses the treatment of this effluent through an integrated system composed of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), an anoxic filter (AF), an aerobic reactor (AR), a sludge thickener tank (STT) a horizontal flow subsurface constructed wetland (HFSSCW) and a parshall gutter (PG) and with a hydraulic retention time of 10 days. Approximately 5 m³ of wastewater is produced daily, with antibiotics and analgesics being the most commonly used classes of pharmaceutical compounds. Several of the analyzed parameters did not comply with national and international guidelines. In this context, the integrated treatment system demonstrated good results, achieving mean removals of: 98% for COD and 59% for BOD5; 87.5% for Total N and 44% for Total P; 83.8% and 69.9% for DOC and TDC; 95% and 65% for Turbidity and EC; and 78% for TDS. The bioassays with Allium cepa indicated a strong genotoxic potential of the raw wastewater, which was completely eliminated after treatment. Thus, it can be concluded that the integrated treatment system showed promising results regarding the treatment of the investigated wastewaters and can be considered a viable alternative to meet effluent disposal limits established in Brazilian and international standards, as well as significantly reduce their toxic potential. Hospital wastewaters are known for their unique characteristics related to toxic potential. However, only a few hospitals efficiently treat their effluents, and the situation is even more critical for wastewaters generated at veterinary hospitals. Therefore, this study examined the effectiveness of an innovative treatment system utilizing constructed wetlands to treat effluents produced at veterinary hospitals, with an emphasis on reducing the toxicity of the raw wastewaters.

description: Objective: To compare single and multiple physiotherapy sessions to improve pain, function, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs).
Data Sources: AMED, Cinahl, SportsDiscus, Medline, Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and reference lists.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing single and multiple physiotherapy sessions for MSKDs.
Data Extraction: Two reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias and certainty of evidence using Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2.0 and Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation.
Data Synthesis: Six RCTs (n=2090) were included (conditions studied: osteoporotic vertebral fracture, neck, knee, and shoulder pain). Meta-analyses with low-certainty evidence showed a significant pain improvement at 6 months in favor of multiple sessions compared with single session interventions (3 RCTs; n=1035; standardized mean difference [SMD]: 0.29; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.53; P=.02) but this significant difference in pain improvement was not observed at 3 months (4 RCTs; n=1312; SMD: 0.39; 95% CI: -0.11 to 0.89; P=.13) and at 12 months (4 RCTs; n=1266; SMD: -0.05; 95% CI: -0.49 to 0.39; P=.82). Meta-analyses with low-certainty evidence showed no significant differences in function at 3 (4 RCTs; n=1583; SMD: 0.05; 95% CI: -0.11 to 0.21; P=.56), 6 (4 RCTs; n=1538; SMD: 0.06; 95% CI: -0.12 to 0.23; P=.53) and 12 months (4 RCTs; n=1528; SMD: 0.08; 95% CI: -0.08 to 0.25; P=.30) and QoL at 3 (4 RCTs; n=1779; SMD: 0.08; 95% CI: -0.02 to 0.17; P=.12), 6 (3 RCTs; n=1206; SMD: 0.03; 95% CI: -0.08 to 0.14; P=.59), and 12 months (4 RCTs; n=1729; SMD: -0.03; 95% CI: -0.12 to 0.07; P=.58).
Conclusions: Low certainty meta-analyses found no clinically significant differences in pain, function, and QoL between single and multiple physiotherapy sessions for MSKD management for the conditions studied. Future research should compare the cost-effectiveness of those different models of care

description: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a global health concern characterised by cardiometabolic risk factors, dysregulated adipokine signalling and inflammation. The study aimed to assess the serum levels of omentin and visfatin in patients with metabolic syndrome. The 84-subject hospital-based case-control study included 18–55 years, both genders. Anthropometry, medical history, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profile, and HOMA-IR were collected. Insulin, omentin, and visfatin were measured using ELISA. Omentin and visfatin levels significantly differed between groups (p < 0.05). The median omentin levels were 50.74 and 45.25; visfatin levels were 0.064 and 0.001, respectively. Omentin correlated with waist circumference, blood pressure, and FPG in controls, while visfatin correlated with HDL and BMI among cases (p < 0.05). Omentin and visfatin were elevated in cases. However, no significant correlation between omentin and visfatin with lipid parameters could be established. Omentin and visfatin levels varied significantly between metabolic syndrome and controls; their correlation with MetS criteria was not significant.

description: Electron transfer reactions play an essential role in many chemical and biological processes. Fermi's Golden rule, which assumes that the coupling between electronic states is small, has formed the foundation of electron transfer rate theory, however in short range electron/energy transfer reactions this coupling can become very large, and therefore Fermi's Golden Rule fails to make even qualitatively accurate rate predictions. In this paper I present a simple modified Golden Rule theory to describe electron transfer in the Marcus inverted regime at arbitrarily large electronic coupling strengths. The theory is based on an optimal global rotation of the diabatic states, which makes it compatible with existing methods for calculating Golden Rule rates that can account for nuclear quantum effects with anharmonic potentials. Furthermore the Optimal Golden Rule (OGR) theory can also combined with analytic theories for non-adiabatic rates, such as Marcus theory and Marcus-Levich-Jortner theory, offering clear physical insight into strong electronic coupling effects in non-adiabatic processes. OGR theory is also tested on a large set of spin-boson models and an anharmonic model against exact quantum dynamics calculations, where it performs well, correctly predicting rate turnover at large coupling strengths. Finally, an example application to a BODIPY-Anthracene photosensitizer reveals that strong coupling effects inhibit excited state charge recombination in this system, reducing the rate of this process by a factor of four. Overall OGR theory offers a new approach to calculating electron transfer rates at strong couplings, offering new physical insight into a range of non-adiabatic processes.

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dose reduction of CDK4/6 inhibitors on survival outcomes in postmenopausal patients with HR+HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC). A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 164 postmenopausal patients with HR+ HER2-negative mBC who received CDK4/6 inhibitors between 2021 and 2024. Clinical parameters were systematically analyzed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated based on dose reduction status. Survival outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and independent prognostic factors were identified through multivariate Cox regression analysis. The median age was 61 years, with a median follow-up of 23.5 months. The median PFS was 23.3 months, while median OS was not reached. Dose reduction occurred in 45 patients (27%), who exhibited significantly worse survival (PFS HR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.02–2.72, p = 0.042; OS HR: 2.54, 95% CI:1.34–4.83, p = 0.004). Dose reduction and liver metastases were independent risk factors for shorter PFS and OS, while treatment in later lines was associated with shorter PFS. Dose reductions in CDK4/6 inhibitors were associated with worse survival outcomes in postmenopausal HR+ HER2− mBC patients. Future biomarker-driven studies are needed to guide personalized dose adjustments and optimize treatment efficacy.
