Flood Resilience in the Digital Age: Exploring Facebook’s Role in Enhancing Disaster Preparedness among Smartphone Users in Gaya, Bihar

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In today’s digital environment, social media platforms have emerged as powerful tools for disaster communication and community resilience. This study investigates the role of Facebook in enhancing flood preparedness among smartphone users in Gaya district, Bihar, a region vulnerable to recurring floods. Employing a quantitative research design, a structured survey was conducted with 300 respondents equally divided between urban and rural areas. The study examines Facebook usage patterns, levels of engagement with flood-related content, preparedness actions taken, and user perceptions of the platform’s effectiveness in flood risk communication. The results show that 68% of respondents use Facebook daily, with 95% accessing the platform via smartphones. A substantial 80% of participants reported receiving flood alerts on Facebook, and 62% indicated taking preparedness measures based on the information received. In terms of perceived effectiveness, 75% found the content useful, 70% considered it trustworthy, 68% affirmed its clarity, and 72% acknowledged its timeliness. Cross-tabulations revealed urban users were more likely than rural users to participate in Facebook groups related to flood management, and male users slightly outpaced female users in receiving flood alerts. The study underscores Facebook’s potential as a reliable tool for disaster preparedness in digitally connected communities. However, it also highlights limitations such as a lack of representation from non-smartphone users and limited platform comparison. The findings provide a foundation for future research and policy aimed at integrating social media into disaster risk reduction frameworks, particularly in underserved regions.
Invasive leg vein treatment with 1064/1319 Nd:YAG laser: combination with dye laser treatment

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

More than 2 500 leg veins patients were treated with dye laser / ScleroPlus, Candela, USA / successfully in our clinic and we use this therapy as the basic cosmetics treatment. But especially diameter of leg vein is limiting factor. Very often we have to treat some cases that are not ideal for classical surgical or for dye laser method. We decided to make invasive perivenous laser coagulation. We adapted original Czech 1064/1319 nm Nd:YAG laser / US patent pending /, which is new combine tool, for invasive application. Principe: After we have penetrated the cutis with laser fiber we coagulate leg veins during slowly perivenous motion. Perfect preoperative examination is a condition of success. After 15 months we have very interesting results. Some patients / 15%/ were perfect treated only with this possibility but excellent results are acquired from combination with dye laser.

Purification and Characterization of Streptomyces griseus Catechol O -Methyltransferase

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT A soluble (100,000 × g supernatant) methyltransferase catalyzing the transfer of the methyl group of S -adenosyl- l -methionine to catechols was present in cell extracts of Streptomyces griseus . A simple, general, and rapid catechol-based assay method was devised for enzyme purification and characterization. The enzyme was purified 141-fold by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and successive chromatography over columns of DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sepharose, and Sephacryl S-200. The purified cytoplasmic enzyme required 10 mM magnesium for maximal activity and was catalytically optimal at pH 7.5 and 35°C. The methyltransferase had an apparent molecular mass of 36 kDa for both the native and denatured protein, with a pI of 4.4. Novel N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences were determined as DFVLDNEGNPLENNGGYXYI and RPDFXLEPPYTGPXKARIIRYFY, respectively. For this enzyme, the K m for 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin was 500 ± 21.5 μM, and that for S -adenosyl- l -methionine was 600 ± 32.5 μM. Catechol, caffeic acid, and 4-nitrocatechol were methyltransferase substrates. Homocysteine was a competitive inhibitor of S -adenosyl- l -methionine, with a K i of 224 ± 20.6 μM. Sinefungin and S -adenosylhomocysteine inhibited methylation, and the enzyme was inactivated by Hg 2+ , p -chloromercuribenzoic acid, and N -ethylmaleimide.
Introduction to the Minitrack on IoB: Internet of Behaviors

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Internet of Behaviors (IoB) links human behavior to the digital world to provide services that meet humans' dynamic needs.IoB can observe and record human behaviors (physical and mental alike), analyze them, adapt itself accordingly, and continuously affect humans' decisions in implicit and explicit ways.A crucial point is understanding human individual and social behaviors, which are reactions to various internal or external events.For instance, intentions and emotions that cause specific behaviors could be analyzed and further impacted by stimuli toward different behaviors.At the social level, people's social attachment to each other or their belongings could influence their behaviors.At the cultural level, behaviors could be impacted by expressiveness, mobility habits, social interactions, and privacy concerns of a country or region's population.Therefore, while IoB opts to engineer intelligent connected systems adaptive to behaviors, it will only be effective with a deep behavioral analysis from social and psychological perspectives.A novelty IoB provides is that it considers not only the direct users but also citizens, occupants, visitors, or customers who may not directly interact with the system and may mostly be unaware that they are part of the system but could benefit from the way the system works.The IoB minitrack at HICSS 2023 aims to shape a community around the novel concept of IoB.Since IoB is yet to be discovered, its various dimensions should be discussed by academics, industry, and political decision-makers.The success of IoB depends on applicable dimensions regarding ethics, privacy, artificial intelligence (AI), and more.
C-wave Event Automated Registration Using a Nonlinear Global Search Method

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

For multicomponent seismic data joint processing and interpretation, event registration of C-waves in the P-wave time domain is a critical step, which is one of the “bottlenecks” that limits further application of the multicomponent data. In order to solve this problem, we use the Needleman-Wunsch (NW) algorithm, a nonlinear global optimization method developed for amino acid sequence alignment in proteins, to align C-wave events. The objective function is to maximize the waveform similarity to compensate for the different reflectivities of P-wave and C-wave. Both numerical modeling and field data examples are used to illustrate the methodology and its efficiency and robustness for event registration.
The differentiability of convex functions on topological linear spaces

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper topological linear spaces are categorised according to the differentiability properties of their continuous convex functions. Mazur's Theorem for Banach spaces is generalised: all separable Baire topological linear spaces are weak Asplund. A class of spaces is given for which Gateaux and Fréchet differentiability of a continuous convex function coincide, which with Mazur's theorem, implies that all Montel Fréchet spaces are Asplund spaces. The effect of weakening the topology of a given space is studied in terms of the space's classification. Any topological linear space with its weak topology is an Asplund space; at the opposite end of the topological spectrum, an example is given of the inductive limit of Asplund spaces which is not even a Gateaux differentiability space.
Investigation of anticancer agent and high mobility group N protein binding to nucleosomes.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

By influencing nuclear factor recognition through modulation of double helix conformation and context, nucleosome structure and organization are key to understanding genomic regulation and the activity of DNA-binding medicinal agents. DNA stretching in the nucleosome, coinciding with kinking and increased twist in the double helix, occurs in the solution state, is ubiquitous in crystal structures of the nucleosome core particle (NCP) and appears to be commonplace in chromatin. We carried out a crystallographic study on a NCP composed of a 145 bp DNA (NCP145) at 2.65 Å resolution and found that minute alterations in DNA sequence and positioning on the histone octamer can elicit profound changes in double helix conformation. NCP145 displays two incidences of DNA stretching around the nucleosome centre, which has enabled us to characterize the basic mechanics of the phenomenon. Moreover, one site of stretching displays an extraordinary kink into the minor groove at a location that is a known hotspot for retroviral gene insertion. Such extreme DNA distortions in the nucleosome may influence other genomic processes, and we have hypothesized that they could modulate binding of DNA-associating medicinal agents.

目的: 接着耐久性をin vitroで検討する長期浸漬試験は蒸留水中で行われてきた. しかし, 口腔内のpH値は, 2.3-8.0まで変化するとされている. そこで, 口腔内pHの上下限値と同じpHの溶液中で浸漬試験を実施して, 蒸留水浸漬の場合との接着耐久性の違いを検討した.方法: 3種類の歯科用合金および歯科用陶材を被着体として, 接着試験片を作製した. これらをpH2.3の乳酸水溶液, pH8.0の炭酸水素ナトリウム水溶液およびpH6.0の蒸留水の3種類の浸漬液に最長で36カ月まで浸漬した. 浸漬終了後, 剪断接着強さを測定した.結果: 金銀パラジウム合金およびCo-Cr合金をスーパーボンドC&Bで接着した場合には, 蒸留水 (pH6.0) 浸漬において接着強さの著しい低下を生じた. 金銀パラジウム合金およびNi-Cr合金をパナビア・フルオロセメントで接着した場合には, 乳酸水溶液 (pH2.3) 浸漬において接着強さが著明に低下した. また, 被着体が陶材の場合には, すべての接着強さ測定において陶材の凝集破壊が生じたため, 接着耐久性の検討は行えなかった.結論: 歯科用合金, 接着用表面処理が異なっても, 接着性レジンおよび浸漬液のpHが同じであれば, 接着耐久性には類似した傾向が認められた.
Selection of cryptocurrency exchange platforms in a developing economy

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In response to the rapid growth of crypto trading in Thailand (Jenweeranon, 2022), a large number of legally registered crypto exchanges have been established in Thai digital asset marketplaces. However, the Thai government planned to impose a 15 percent withholding tax on all cryptocurrency transactions for 2022 (Helms, 2022). This might influence traders on local exchanges and the expansion of the crypto industry in the country. This study seeks to investigate the determinants of Thai investors’ platform selection decisions for cryptocurrency trading. To fulfil the aim of the study, a binary regression analysis was performed through Thai crypto investors. The findings found that the choice of international cryptocurrency platforms might be defined by gender and education level. Men are more likely to choose local platforms than women are, while investors with a higher level of education are more inclined to choose global platforms. The paper suggests that local crypto exchange providers should consider their customers’ gender and educational background when creating marketing campaigns, in order to increase the likelihood of gaining new clients.
Sharon Ann Musher.Democratic Art: The New Deal’s Influence on American Culture.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The New Deal remains, as Sharon Ann Musher puts it, “the golden age” (213) of federal arts funding in the U.S. Beginning in May 1935, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) mounted work-relief projects (collectively known as Federal One) for almost forty thousand destitute writers, theater practitioners, musicians, and visual artists. Overlapping with that effort were the Treasury Department’s mural programs and the Resettlement Administration’s (RA) photography section. This support for art as legitimate labor had unprecedented geographical and conceptual breadth—project offices in every region, every state, and many municipalities across the country, and vastly differing degrees of artistic skill among employees—to the point that assembling a coherent analysis of the whole is a distinct challenge. The usual scholarly strategy has been to focus on a single project. In Democratic Art: The New Deal’s Influence on American Culture, Musher follows the road less taken, traveling widely across the full gamut. Herein lies the main contribution of her judicious volume.
Identification of Nitrogen Defects in Diamond with Photoluminescence Excited in the 160–240 nm Region

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of natural diamond powders of type IaAB at 300 and 13 K were excited with synchrotron radiation in the wavelength range of 150-260 nm. The spectral features observed in the excitation spectra at 13 K show four vibrational progressions related to nitrogen defects in diamond: A, B, B', and N3. Progression A has a spacing of 1258 ± 40 cm(-1), associated with the N2 (or A) center; progression B has a spacing of 1181 ± 40 cm(-1) and progression B' has a spacing of 744 ± 40 cm(-1) related to the N4 (or B) center; and progression N3 has a spacing of 1417 ± 40 cm(-1) associated with the N3 center. The PL of these defects comprise continuous emission with two broad lines with maxima of ∼420 and 469 nm at 300 K. Upon excitation with light at wavelengths of <200 nm, the distinct zero-phonon lines of N3 and N4 centers in diamond at a temperature of 13 K become prominent at 416.0 and 491.2 nm, respectively. The vibrational progressions in the photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of N2, N3, and N4 centers in diamond of type IaAB at 13 K are identified for the first time. We suggest the use of PL spectra excited in the region of 160-240 nm to analyze and identify the type of diamond.
HYPERBOLIC HEAT TRANSFER WITH REFLECTION

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The non-Fourier model for heat transfer leads to a hyperbolic evolution problem describing the temperature solution. A one-dimensional case is considered for such a propagating heat wave reflected at a boundary. A primary goal is investigation of the effectiveness of numerical solution techniques for the case of a propagating heat front and the influence of different boundary conditions. Finite elements are employed in space and alternative time integration schemes are studied, including ordinary differential equation system integrators. The effect of solution “roughness” on the error and oscillations before and after reflection is examined and rates of convergence are numerically determined.

Taking the Bull by the Horns: Ideology, Masculinity, and Cattle Horns at Çatalhöyük (Turkey)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Animal symbolism is a ubiquitous and powerful component of human ideology. Cattle were clearly the preeminent symbolic taxon in the Southwest Asian Neolithic, and archaeologists have argued that not just cattle, but specifi cally bulls, were key symbols. However, the biological attributes, including the sex, of the cattle used in Neolithic symbolic contexts remain largely unestablished. Furthermore, most of the cattle representations on which these arguments are based are not clearly male. In this article, we test the symbolic importance of taurine masculinity to early villagers by assessing the biological characteristics of cattle horns found in special deposits as well as in more prosaic contexts at the Anatolian Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük.
Incremental, Inductive Coverability

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We give an incremental, inductive (IC3) procedure to check coverability of well-structured transition systems. Our procedure generalizes the IC3 procedure for safety verification that has been successfully applied in finite-state hardware verification to infinite-state well-structured transition systems. We show that our procedure is sound, complete, and terminating for downward-finite well-structured transition systems---where each state has a finite number of states below it---a class that contains extensions of Petri nets, broadcast protocols, and lossy channel systems. We have implemented our algorithm for checking coverability of Petri nets. We describe how the algorithm can be efficiently implemented without the use of SMT solvers. Our experiments on standard Petri net benchmarks show that IC3 is competitive with state-of-the-art implementations for coverability based on symbolic backward analysis or expand-enlarge-and-check algorithms both in time taken and space usage.
Dissecting cis-regulatory effect on alternative polyadenylation using hybrid mice

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The 3’ ends of most eukaryotic mRNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated at the last step of transcription. Recent studies revealed that more than 70% mammalian genes have multiple polyadenylation sites (pAs) leading to the generation of multiple mRNA isoforms with different coding region or 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR) from the same gene locus and contributes to the complexity of transcriptome and proteome by regulating their stability, localization, translation, and function. Boosted by the large-scale analysis technologies, extensive and dynamic regulation of 3’ UTR by alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been observed in different tissues; different cellular conditions (proliferation, differentiation, and development); and response to stimuli. Although the exact underlying mechanisms of APA remains under investigation, it should be in general regulated via the interaction between cis- regulatory elements residing at the DNA/RNA and trans-factors including polyadenylation cleavage core protein complex as well as other accessory RNA binding proteins (RBP). Change of APA pattern during evolution remains underexplored. Such changes could arise from the divergence in cis- regulatory elements and/or trans- acting RBPs. The divergences of the two factors with different extent of pleiotropic consequences undergo distinct evolutionary trajectories. Therefore, to better understand evolution in APA, it is important to distinguish the relative contribution of cis- and trans- effects. In this project, to comprehensively investigate the contribution of cis-elements and trans-factors in the process of APA in a mammalian system, we identified and quantified pAs usage difference between two parental strains (C57BL/6J and SPRET/EiJ) and between the two alleles in the F1 hybrids with 3’ read capturing and sequencing (3’ READS) and 3’ mRNA-Seq methods, respectively. In total, we identified 3747 parental divergent pAs across five types of APA, between the two parental mouse strains. By comparing the parental divergent pAs with those in F1 hybrids, we observed a predominant contribution of cis-regulatory effect on pAs usage, which is mediated by genetic variants between two species around the pAs. Further sequence feature analysis demonstrated that the unstable secondary structure and a novel hexamer UUUUUU in the upstream region of pAs could enhance and inhibit the pAs usage, respectively.
[Clinical effects of adjacent fasciocutaneous flaps in repairing small wounds with bone or steel plate exposure in anterior tibia].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of adjacent fasciocutaneous flaps in repairing small wounds with bone or steel plate exposure in anterior tibia. Methods: Twelve patients with small wounds of bone or steel plate exposure in anterior tibia covering area of 2 cm×2 cm to 5 cm×3 cm were admitted to our unit from January 2014 to December 2016. A circular or elliptical adjacent fasciocutaneous flap was designed on the normal skin located at the inside or outside of the wound according to the size of wound after thorough debridement. The pedicle of the flap was located at the proximal end and transferred through the subcutaneous tunnel to cover the wound. The sizes of flaps were 3 cm×3 cm to 6 cm×4 cm. Flaps were fixed with interrupted sutures and drainage rubber sheets were placed under the flaps. The drainage rubber sheets were removed within 24 to 48 hours. The donor area was repaired by medium-thickness skin graft collected from homolateral outer thigh. Results: All the flaps of 9 patients survived. Two patients had necrosis at the distal end of the flaps and were cured by changing dressing. One patient had tension blisters on the flap and was cured by removing blisters and improving microcirculation. All patients were followed up for 3 months, and the flaps were good in blood supply, appearance, and color, with hypaesthesia. Conclusions: Repair of small wounds with bone or steel plate exposure in anterior tibia by adjacent fasciocutaneous flap is simple in surgical procedure and does not damage the well-known blood vessels, and the appearance, texture, and thickness of flaps are close to the skin of anterior tibia region. It is a good choice for repairing this kind of wounds and worth promoting in clinic.
