6 A review of neuropsychological measures of executive functioning in the Japanese and Japanese-American population

Objective:There are approximately 1.5 million Japanese and Japanese Americans in the United States, with the Japanese population increasing steadily over the past two decades. Given the growing number of the Japanese population, it is likely that a clinical neuropsychologist may encounter a Japanese patient, particularly for neurocognitive disorder evaluations given the aging population. Literature has reported that cross-cultural bias in neuropsychological testing and cultural factors affect individuals’ test performance. In order to conduct and interpret neuropsychological assessments for this population, it is important to use normative data and consider the impact of various factors such as acculturation, language, and generation in the U.S. Availability of normative cognitive test data for Japanese-Americans is limited. Tests with most extensive use, adaptation, validation, and norming were identified. Many clinically used measures of executive functioning (EF) have been translated into Japanese and studied in multiple clinical populations. We present information on tests in this domain given their appropriateness for use in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural evaluations.Participants and Methods:Available studies of neuropsychological tests measuring EF that have been translated and normed in the Japanese and/or Japanese-American patient population are reported. Review of the literature was conducted by authors of Japanese descent familiar with neuropsychological assessment and Japanese and Japanese-American culture. We prioritized studies published in both English and Japanese and those that included commonly utilized tests in the U.S, allowing for maximum accessibility and utility for Western-based neuropsychologists. Additionally, inclusion priority was given to studies published in English which report the clinical diagnoses, age range, and gender characteristics of the sample population. The Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) and Trail Making Test (TMT) were reviewed.Results:The WCST and the TMT, with its variant, was the most normed EF cognitive test currently available. The Keio version Japanese-Trail Making Test (J-TMT) and a simplified version of the Trail Making Test (S-TMT) has been utilized in Japan, however norms are still lacking. Of the available studies, the S-TMT and J-TMT were found to be moderately correlated with the TMT. The Keio version WCST (KWCST) (Kao et al., 2012) was correlated to education level (Abe et al., 2004), appropriately differentiating severity of social anxiety disorder (Fujii et al., 2013), patients with schizophrenia (Banno et al., 2012), and cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease (Yoshii et al., 2019).Conclusions:Information regarding translated and normed tests are presented to assist clinical neuropsychologists provide competent services to Japanese-Americans. The J-TMT and the S-TMT may be clinically useful as an evaluation of attention for the Japanese population. The KWCST has also been found to be an appropriate tool for this population. However, publicly available norms for these assessments are still sparse, and there is very limited information about administration of these tests by English-speaking neuropsychologists with the use of interpreters. Further work is needed to increase access to and awareness of linguistically and culturally appropriate versions of clinical measures to better serve the Japanese and Japanese-American population.

Land Cover Change and Fragmentation Analysis in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

The increasing number of human populations and their needs have driven changes in forest cover to become infrastructure, agricultural land, and plantations. Sintang Regency has a natural forest structure upstream of the Kapuas River and the Kayan River, which the local community uses for transportation and sources of livelihood. In this study, we wanted to analyze the level of fragmentation in Sintang Regency. We used landcover data in the mapping periods of 2010, 2015, and 2020, with MoEF classification—fragmentation analysis using ArcGIS 10.6 and FRAGSTATS v4.2.1 software at class and patch levels analysis. The result showed decreased natural forest while estate crop and mining increased. As an impact of decreasing forest area, it also reduced the total core area and connectivity; the intact forest > 50,000 ha was isolated in 2020. The fragmentation of forests will impact reduced habitat for wildlife and loss of ecological function of the landscape.

The Clinical Frailty Scale is a Strong Predictor of 1-Year Mortality in Surgically Managed Hip Periprosthetic Fracture: An Analysis From a High-Volume Institution

BackgroundHip periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) after primary total hip arthroplasty are increasing with the number of primary implants and aging population. Mortality has been reported up to 34% at 1-year. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and 1-year mortality, complication rate, and length of stay (LOS) in surgically managed hip PPFs. MethodsThis was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from January 2008 to January 2021. A total of 282 surgically managed hip PPFs were identified. Mean age was 79 years (range, 42 to 106). Preoperative scores were analyzed through linear regression to identify significant association with mortality, complication and LOS. Receiver operating characteristic curve and Area Under the Curve (AUC) were generated to evaluate the quality of the models and the discriminatory ability of each clinical score. Significance was considered at P values < .05. ResultsMortality was 7.8% at 3-months and 15.7% at 1-year. Complication rate requiring surgery was 19.5% and mean LOS was 8.9 ± 7 days. The CFS was significantly associated with 3-month (odds ratio 2.23, P < .001) and 1-year mortality (odds ratio 2.01, P < .001). The receiver operating characteristic curve test for 1-year mortality showed a greater AUC for the CFS when compared with American Society for Anesthesiologists score and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (AUC 0.80 versus 0.68 versus 0.72, respectively). ConclusionsFrailty is a syndrome with increased risk of mortality after surgically managed PPF. The CFS can be easily assessed at the time of admission and could be considered as a strong and reliable predictor of 1-year mortality with a greater AUC than the conventionally used American Society for Anesthesiologists score.

Forecasting the transportation energy demand with the help of optimization artificial neural network using an improved red fox optimizer (IRFO)

Transportation energy demand has a significant impact on worldwide energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Accurate transportation energy demand predictions can help policymakers develop and implement successful energy policies and strategies. In this study, a novel approach to predict transportation energy demand using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on the Improved Red Fox Optimizer (IRFO) has been suggested. The proposed method utilizes the ANN model to solve the complex nonlinear relationships between transportation energy demand and its effective parameters including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), population, and vehicle numbers. Also, the IRFO algorithm was utilized to modify the ANN model's parameters to improve the prediction accuracy. The experimental findings demonstrate the ANN-IRFO model performs better than the other method in terms of accuracy and effectiveness. It predicts the growth of GDP, population, and vehicles number by 5.5 %, 4.8 %, and 4.2 %, respectively. The findings demonstrate that the suggested method can provide accurate forecasts for transportation energy demand, which can help decision-makers to make informed decisions and policies regarding energy management and sustainability.

Conceptual approaches regarding the reorganization of territorial administrative units in the Republic of Moldova

The administrative-territorial transformations are determined by the demographic decline, the cause being massive emigration or migration within the state, by the precarious state of the infrastructure and the economy of the respective localities. The small number of population per UAT limits the financial resources and consequently the institutional and administrative capacity of the LPA to fulfill its responsibilities. In the conditions created, considering the fact that some of the rural localities have been left without inhabitants or have a very small number of inhabitants, the idea of amalgamating the administrative-territorial units was launched. The structural reform in the form of the merger of local authorities will change the map of local administration. This reform, which is initially to be voluntary, amalgamates two or more local authorities into a new political and economic organizational entity.

Effects of Varying Planting Patterns on Wheat Aphids’ Occurrence and the Control Effect of Pesticide Reduction Spraying Process by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

A walnut–wheat intercropping pattern is practiced widely in southern Xinjiang to alleviate the contradiction between the lack of cultivated land resources and to increase economic value. Previous studies have confirmed that an alley cropping pattern could change the microclimate by supplying additional ecological functions such as windbreak, light interception, water conservation, etc. Cereal aphids (including Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi, Metopolophium dirhodum, etc.) are commonly spread pests that harm wheat plants. But, the difference in population numbers between local patterns is still unknown. Pesticide reduction is the national strategy in China to alleviate the contraction between the demand of grain yield and environment protection. Plant protection-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) spraying pesticides are the most efficient method to control pests. However, compared to traditional artificial spraying method, how the UAV spraying method affect the control effect of reduced concentration pesticide is unclear. In order to address this problem, we conducted field investigations at Zepu county in southern Xinjiang to test the difference between walnut–wheat intercropping and wheat monocropping patterns for three consecutive years. And, we employed the field experiments to ensure the effectiveness of the reduced concentration common pesticides through the UAV spraying method. In conclusion, we conducted a comparison of the control effects of two spraying methods under conditions of reduced pesticide usage. Our findings revealed that the population of cereal aphids was larger in the intercropping pattern compared to the monocropping pattern. Although the control effect of the reduced treatment was lower than the regular dosage, some treatments still demonstrated sufficient capability to eliminate aphids, particularly when considering the effect within major varieties. Additionally, the use of the UAV spraying method exhibited a satisfactory effect when compared to the traditional artificial spraying method.

Biogenic Materials and Wastes: A Sustainable Source of Clean Energy

Abstract: Progress in agriculture and industry is taken as a general criterion for the development of any country, and this craze has resulted in unlimited exploitation of every bit of natural resources. The exploitation of natural resources includes biological and nonbiological waste. Wastes that are produced due to the exploitation of biological materials such as agro waste, rice husk, coconut shell, jatropha oil, banana peels, tea-tree extract, waste food, food products, insects, and chicken fat are known as biogenic waste. Biogenic materials can be used to minimize the environmental hazards produced through the exploitation of different nonbiogenic materials that are used by a larger number of populations in their daily life. Thus, biogenic materials can be used for the sustainable development of clean energy, as their production does not require industrialization. Currently, different types of biological materials are used in different sectors ranging from the construction sector to pharmaceuticals as well as food, biorefineries and agriculture. These materials, on the one hand, are proven to be very useful, as they have fulfilled the requirements with the goal of less environmental hazards in their production; they also have a dark phase with negative environmental impacts after their use. Modern research has led to the use of biogenic waste by transforming it into different types of nanomaterials that can be reused with minimum pollution and can be commercialized. This chapter includes different types of biomaterials and their uses along with biogenic wastes. The final section includes different types of transforming products of biogenic waste to nanomaterials along with their uses.

The human factor: results of a small-angle scattering data analysis round robin

A round-robin study has been carried out to estimate the impact of the human element in small-angle scattering data analysis. Four corrected datasets were provided to participants ready for analysis. All datasets were measured on samples containing spherical scatterers, with two datasets in dilute dispersions and two from powders. Most of the 46 participants correctly identified the number of populations in the dilute dispersions, with half of the population mean entries within 1.5% and half of the population width entries within 40%. Due to the added complexity of the structure factor, far fewer people submitted answers on the powder datasets. For those that did, half of the entries for the means and widths were within 44 and 86%, respectively. This round-robin experiment highlights several causes for the discrepancies, for which solutions are proposed.

Diversity distribution, land used type of small and medium-sized mammals in ghamot national park the state biosphere reserve-Neelum, Pakistan

This research aimed to examine the impact of diversity distributions, seasonal variations, and land use types on the richness and diversity of native small mammal communities in Ghamot National Park, Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. The study employed five different land-use types and employed various methods, including live traps and indirect evidence, to sample small mammals during both summer and winter seasons. The study compared population numbers and species composition across different study sites and seasons.The findings were based on data from three sampling methods, which resulted in a total of 534 specimens representing 14 species from 8 families. The family Muridae stood out as dominant, with 4 species (28.57%) of rodents. During the summer, the highest number of individuals was observed in the forest zone (n = 171), whereas during the winter season, the highest abundance was recorded in the riparian zone (n = 128). In terms of species richness, the riparian zone (n = 9) and agricultural crop zone (n = 9) had the highest values during the summer season. The highest Shannon diversity values (3.48) were found in riparian and forest habitats, scrubland, and dense vegetation, while the lowest biodiversity (H = 0.77) was observed in high alpine pastures and wetland habitats. Notably, no significant differences were observed between the two seasons (summer and winter) in terms of species richness and abundances.Further analysis using a one-way-ANOSIM test via the Bray-Curtis methods indicated a significant difference (R = 0.02144; p = 0.2873) among various survey locations and land types. Specifically, four habitat types—dense forest, riparian zone, scrubland, and dense vegetation—displayed significant correlations with each other (p &lt; 0.05).

Projected Change in the Burden of Excess Cardiovascular Deaths Associated With Extreme Heat by Midcentury (2036-2065) in the Contiguous United States.

Climate change is causing an increase in extreme heat. Individuals with cardiovascular disease are at high risk of heat-related adverse health effects. How the burden of extreme heat-associated cardiovascular deaths in the United States will change with the projected rise in extreme heat is unknown. We obtained data on cardiovascular deaths among adults and the number of extreme heat days (maximum heat index ≥90 °F [32.2 °C]) in each county in the contiguous United States from 2008 to 2019. Based on representative concentration pathway trajectories that model greenhouse gas emissions and shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) that model future socioeconomic scenarios and demographic projections, we obtained county-level projected numbers of extreme heat days and populations under 2 scenarios for the midcentury period 2036 to 2065: SSP2-4.5 (representing demographic projections from a "middle-of-the-road" socioeconomic scenario and an intermediate increase in emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (demographic projections in an economy based on "fossil-fueled development" and a large increase in emissions). The association of cardiovascular mortality with extreme heat was estimated with a Poisson fixed-effects model. Using estimates from this model, the projected number of excess cardiovascular deaths associated with extreme heat was calculated. Extreme heat was associated with 1651 (95% CI, 921-2381) excess cardiovascular deaths per year from 2008 to 2019. By midcentury, extreme heat is projected to be associated with 4320 (95% CI, 2369-6272) excess deaths annually, which is an increase of 162% (95% CI, 142-182) under SSP2-4.5, and 5491 (95% CI, 3011-7972) annual excess deaths, which is an increase of 233% (95% CI, 206-259) under SSP5-8.5. Elderly adults are projected to have a 3.5 (95% CI, 3.2-3.8) times greater increase in deaths in the SSP2-4.5 scenario compared with nonelderly adults. Non-Hispanic Black adults are projected to have a 4.6 (95% CI, 2.8-6.4) times greater increase compared with non-Hispanic White adults. The projected change in deaths was not statistically significantly different for other race and ethnicity groups or between men and women. By midcentury, extreme heat is projected to be associated with a significantly greater burden of excess cardiovascular deaths in the contiguous United States.

The Effectiveness of Using Tells Strategy on Students’ Reading Comprehension

This research aims to find out the significant effect of using TELLS strategy toward students’ reading comprehension. Based on the researcher’s preliminary study, it was found that the students could not comprehend the meaning of texts in their text book at the school. This problem was caused by some factors, some students could not understand about the content of reading text and identify the detailed information of the text. The design of this research was quasi- experimental design, non-equivalent control group design. The total number of populations was 62 students. The researcher used cluster sampling by taking two groups only as sample; group VII-J consisted of 31 students as experimental group and group VII-K consisted of 31 students as control group, totally 62 students. To analyze the data, the researcher adopted ANCOVA formula by using SPSS 21. From calculating the hypothesis test, it is known the result of significant value of group class is 0,023 which is lower than 0,05 (p&lt;.05), therefore there is significant different between experimental and control class. Point out the ANCOVA analysis, the “corrected model” value is reviewed. The result of corrected model is 0,000 which is lower than 0,05 (p&lt;.05). This is also supported by the mean value of the experimental class of 82.45 which is higher than the control class of 66.97. In conclusion, TELLS strategy is more effective on students reading comprehension for the first grade at MTsN 2 Kediri.

Spatial genetic structure and seed quality of a southernmost Abies nephrolepis population

Abies nephrolepis (Trautv. ex Maxim.) Maxim. has its southernmost populations in South Korea and they are expected to decline under climate change. To establish a strategic conservation plan, this study aimed to investigate the spatial genetic structure and seed characteristics of A. nephrolepis. We used nine microsatellite markers on 165 individuals of A. nephrolepis and sampled seeds in a southernmost population at Mt. Hambaeksan, South Korea. We observed a high level of heterozygosity, and a simulation study found that sampling 20 individuals was enough to secure sufficient genetic diversity on average. Spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that individuals had a positive genetic relationship until 30 m. Bayesian clustering models, STRUCTURE and GENELAND, failed to achieve a consensus in the optimal number of population (K), estimating K = 1 and K = 2, respectively. Principal coordinate analysis supported the absence of genetic substructure within the study population. There was a large variance in seed production among mother trees. On average, seeds of A. nephrolepis from Mt. Hambaeksan had a purity of 70.4% and a germination percentage of 32.2%. We found that seed weight was the most effective indicator of seed quality. Mother trees at higher altitudes had poorer purity which is threatening to A. nephrolepis considering the upslope retreat of subalpine species under climate change. Our results provide insights into the interactions among spatial processes, genetic structure, and seed quality within a population of A. nephrolepis.

N, P and C removal simultaneously and microbial population numbers in a cyclic activated sludge system treating village and township domestic wastewater by altering the cycle times.

It was necessary to research an efficient treatment process suitable for township domestic wastewater. In this paper, the performance of the cyclic activated sludge system (CASS) system for simultaneous carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal was investigated by changing the operation cycle of the CASS reactor. Four operating conditions were set up, T1, T2, T3 and T4, with cycle times of 6, 8, 12 and 8 h (with carbon source), respectively. The results showed that the CASS system had good simultaneous removal of C, N and P. The highest removal rates of COD, TN, NH4+ -N and TP were 87.69, 72.99, 98.60 and 98.38%, respectively, at a cycle time of 8 h. The TN removal rate could be increased to 82.51% after the addition of carbon source. Microbial community analysis showed that Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Candidatus Saccharibacteria were the main phylum-level bacteria. Their presence facilitated the effectiveness of the CASS process for nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal. Functional analysis of genes revealed that the abundance values of genes associated with C, N and P metabolism were higher when the treatment was effective.

An Analysis of Mental Illnesses among People after COVID-19

Under the large uncertainty and unknown condition all over the world, a growing number of people are developing mental illnesses after COVID-19. Anxiety, major depression disorder, eating disorder, and Post-traumatic stress disorder, all of these mental disorders are collected for the majority of mental illnesses after COVID-19. The primary aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence, causes, effects, and treatments among mental illness patients after COVID-19. By reviewing the paper that has been published, it is nearly certain that psychological disorders will occur after suffering traumatic events and the outbreak of COVID-19, which is seen as one of the most serious pandemics in the world in the last few decades, a number of populations are undergoing a high level of psychological illness. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy can be one of the great therapies to treat mental illnesses after COVID-19. According to a study, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment can greatly affect traumatic memories for psychological patients. After COVID-19, a growing number of populations become infected with mental disorders, therefore, the causes and some effective treatments are required. Especially those who have a previous history of psychological disorders might need some specialized intervention.

The Influence of Chinas Political Policy on Population Aging

In recent years, the number and proportion of the elderly population in China has been rising, and it is facing a serious trend of population aging. This paper focuses on the negative impact of Chinas relevant policies on population aging and birth rate. Through literature analysis and data survey, this paper finds that the implementation of Chinas family planning policy has to some extent suppressed the growth of the population, but also exacerbated issues such as population aging, labor shortage, and caused a decline in the fertility rate. To address this issue, the government needs to take more active and effective measures, including the increasing social security investment, encouraging fertility, and strengthening elderly welfare, to ensure the quality of life of the elderly population and sustainable economic development.

Surveillance for Zoonotic Pathogens and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit of Ringed Seals (nattiit) (Pusa hispida) in Frobisher Bay and Eclipse Sound, Nunavut, Canada

Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) (nattiq (s.), nattiit (pl.) [Inuktut]) provide an important food staple for Nunavummiut (Indigenous residents of Nunavut). We studied the health of nattiit harvested by hunters from Baffin Island, Nunavut, via Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and veterinary science. We conducted serological surveys and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for select zoonotic pathogens, including Brucella spp., Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Leptospira interrogans, and Toxoplasma gondii, in 55 nattiit from Frobisher Bay (FB) and 58 nattiit from Eclipse Sound (ES). We used a digestion assay to determine the presence of Trichinella spp. larvae in muscle samples from these seals. We conducted interviews with nine Local Knowledge Holders (LKHs) from Iqaluit (FB) and nine from Pond Inlet (ES) to gather their observations about nattiq health. The hunters evaluated nattiq health through a combination of behavior, nutritional condition, and appearance of skin and organs. They rarely observed severely ill nattiit. Hunters from ES but not from FB observed declining nattiit population numbers. In both regions, they observed increased numbers of harp seals (Phoca groenlandica). Frequencies of natural exposure among nattiit from FB and ES, based on seroprevalence, were 20.5% and 37% for Brucella spp., 25% and 11% for E. rhusiopathiae, 93% and 100% for L. interrogans, and 10% and 27% for T. gondii, respectively; PCR was negative for these pathogens in organs and tissues of seropositive animals. We did not detect larvae of Trichinella spp. Knowledge and experience from the LKHs in assessing nattiq health, complemented by negative findings from direct detection methods, provide reassurance about the safety of nattiit as country food, despite their exposure to some zoonotic pathogens in their natural environment.

Mortality burden due to COVID-19 in 14 countries or regions in Southeastern Europe and Central Asia

Abstract Background Between 2021 and 2023, an international collaboration to estimate the burden of disease due to COVID-19 in 14 countries and regions in Southeastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus and Central Asia was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health, under its Global Health Protection Programme. As part of the project, the indicators Years of Life Lost (YLL) and Excess Mortality (EM) were estimated in order to compare the mortality burden of COVID-19 across countries and regions. Methods Data on COVID-19 deaths, all-cause mortality and population numbers were collected by all partner institutions for the period March 2020 to December 2021. YLL were calculated using standard burden of disease methodology, disaggregated by sex, age and month. EM was calculated in Excel using exponential smoothing, taking trend and seasonality into account. The EM estimates generated were compared to existing estimates published by the WHO, in order to explore similarities or differences. Results In nearly all countries, YLL rates per 100,000 were higher among men than women, and among those aged 60 and older compared to younger age-groups. YLL rates per 100,000 were also higher in most countries in Southeastern Europe and in the Southern Caucasus as compared to Central Asia. In general, the YLL burden was considerably greater in 2021 compared to 2020. In most countries, the highest YLL rates were seen in the autumn and winter months. However in some countries, peaks were also seen in spring or summer. WHO estimated EM rates were largely in line with our own, except in Ukraine, Türkiye and Azerbaijan, where WHO estimates were substantially higher. Conclusions A significant mortality burden due to COVID-19 was observed, particularly in 2021, and among men and older individuals. The disaggregation of data over time facilitates the use of burden of disease metrics in pandemic monitoring, providing an additional tool in response efforts. Key messages • The mortality burden due to COVID-19 was significant in the regions investigated, particularly in 2021. • Data disaggregations over time facilitate the use of burden of disease indicators in pandemic monitoring and response.

Genetic Structure and Diversity Analysis of Tunisian Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp. Using Molecular Markers

Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are non-achlorophyllous parasitic plants belonging to the Orobanchaceae family, with some species evolving to infest agricultural crops, causing substantial economic losses. This study focuses on Orobanche and Phelipenche species prevalent in Tunisia, particularly Orobanche crenata, Orobanche foetida and Phelipanche ramosa, which pose a significant threat to legume crops and other agronomically important plants. These parasitic species cause severe damage before their aboveground appearance, making early detection and management crucial. Successful breeding programs targeting their hosts necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the genetic variability within different broomrape populations. A plethora of molecular markers, including RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, SSR and SNPs, were employed to evaluate the genetic diversity of Orobanche spp., mainly in Mediterranean countries. This research seeks to analyze the genetic variability and structure of thirty-four (34) Tunisian Orobanche and Phelipanche populations infesting various crops and wild plants. The results demonstrated a higher genetic differentiation within populations rather than between populations and no clear differentiation based on the geographic origins of the populations. By measuring the genetic diversity of a large number of broomrape populations that affect both wild species and crops, this study aims to support efforts toward establishing effective management approaches.
