The role of natural recovery category in malaria dynamics under saturated treatment.

In the process of malaria transmission, natural recovery individuals are slightly infectious compared with infected individuals. Our concern is whether the infectivity of natural recovery category can be ignored in areas with limited medical resources, so as to reveal the epidemic pattern of malaria with simpler analysis. To achieve this, we incorporate saturated treatment into two-compartment and three-compartment models, and the infectivity of natural recovery category is only reflected in the latter. The non-spatial two-compartment model can admit backward bifurcation. Its spatial version does not possess rich dynamics. Besides, the non-spatial three-compartment model can undergo backward bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. For spatial three-compartment model, due to the complexity of characteristic equation, we apply Shengjin's Distinguishing Means to realize stability analysis. Further, the model exhibits Turing instability, Hopf bifurcation and Turing-Hopf bifurcation. This makes the model may admit bistability or even tristability when its basic reproduction number less than one. Biologically, malaria may present a variety of epidemic trends, such as elimination or inhomogeneous distribution in space and periodic fluctuation in time of infectious populations. Notably, parameter regions are given to illustrate substitution effect of two-compartment model for three-compartment model in both scenarios without or with spatial movement. Finally, spatial three-compartment model is used to present malaria transmission in Burundi. The application of efficiency index enables us to determine the most effective method to control the number of cases in different scenarios.

Post‐COVID inflation dynamics: Higher for longer

AbstractWe implement a novel nonlinear structural model featuring an empirically successful frequency‐dependent and asymmetric Phillips curve; unemployment frequency components interact with three components of core personal consumption expenditures (PCE)—core goods, housing, and core services ex‐housing—and a variable capturing supply shocks. Forecast tests verify accuracy in its unemployment–inflation trade‐offs, crucial for monetary policy. Using this model, we assess the plausibility of the December 2022 Summary of Economic Projections (SEP). By 2025Q4, the SEP projects 2.1% inflation; however, conditional on the SEP unemployment path, we project 2.9%. A fairly deep recession delivers the SEP inflation path, but a simple welfare analysis rejects this outcome.

Penerapan Manajemen Kinerja Pegawai Pemerintah Kota X Antara Masa Normal dan Masa Pandemi

The Covid 19 pandemic that occurred in Indonesia at the beginning of 2020 has been designated as a non-natural national disaster which creates a public health emergency, so preventive efforts are needed to overcome the pandemic. The implementation of work from home (WFH) is an effort to prevent the spread of the virus within City X government agencies. An initial study conducted by researcher found that the ASN performance management system in the X City Government during the implementation of WFH still feels ineffective due to the control system not being fulfilled and even some agency resources being deemed not ready to implement the WFH system. This research aim to analyze the work management of X City Government employees during normal times and the Covid-19 pandemic period or the period of adaptation to new habits. Researcher used a qualitative descriptive approach which aims to describe in depth the performance of X City Government Employees during the Normal and Pandemic periods. The main data collection tool was FGD with 30 representatives of several regional organizations in the X City government. In addition, researchers involved 433 ASN employees in X City to fill out a survey regarding performance during normal times, during the pandemic and during the adaptation to new habits. Data from FGDs and surveys were analyzed using simple qualitative and quantitative analysis with an interactive analysis model with steps of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research found that the X City Government's ASN performance management during normal times had been implemented in accordance with work management principles, although there is a decrease compared to employee performance in normal times. Recommendation from the results of this research can be used as study material regarding the performance of X City Government employees during normal times and during the pandemic.

Simple bulk pigment analysis suggests microphytobenthos contributions to food webs may be underestimated due to isotopic contamination by remineralized wetland carbon

Stable isotope studies have revealed the importance of microphytobenthos (MPB) in coastal food webs. Microalgae typically have δ13C values between depleted C3 wetland/terrestrial macrophytes, and enriched C4 macrophytes and seagrasses. However, the challenges of obtaining clean samples of microalgae from sediments means they are often represented by limited sampling in many food web studies; consequently, we have a limited understanding of spatial and temporal variation in their δ13C values. We tested a simple technique to measure the δ13C of bulk pigments extracted from surficial sediments to represent MPB and applied it to quantify fine scale spatial variation in MPB δ13C around salt marshes. The bulk extraction method is logistically simple, and drives substantial but relatively consistent fractionation in δ13C of −3.5 ± 0.13 ‰ (mean ± 1 S.E., range = 2.3–4.4 ‰, n = 18 paired comparisons) compared to whole cell values. The consistency in fractionation suggests that spatial and temporal δ13C patterns measured in field samples should reflect real variation in source values, and that measured values could be corrected and incorporated into isotope mixing models. In 88 MPB samples among four marsh sites over two summers, MPB δ13C in marsh creeks was lower by an average of 4.4 ± 0.72 ‰ and up to 8.4 ‰ compared to sites along the outer marsh-open water fringe 10's of m away. Few food web studies incorporate this magnitude of variation in their MPB source estimates into mixing models. Over three weekly samplings at one marsh creek site, low tide dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) δ13C was similarly lower by 4.8 ± 0.36 ‰ and up to 6.2 ‰ compared to high tide and adjacent open water DIC values. The significant small-scale variability in MPB δ13C appears to be driven by remineralized marsh carbon which depletes the DIC δ13C in the marsh creeks, a phenomenon that has long been recognized but is rarely considered in food web studies. Mixing models that assume a narrower range in MPB source values will erroneously attribute isotopically variable MPB contributions to end-member production sources thereby clouding our understanding of energy flows through coastal seascapes.

Relationships between Size-specific Dose Estimate and Signal to Noise Ratio under Chest CT Examinations with Tube Current Modulation.

Exploring the relationship between the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of organs and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) in tube current modulation (TCM) chest CT examination. Forty patients who received TCM chest CT scanning were retrospectively collected and divided into four groups according to the tube voltage and sexes. We chose to set up the region of interest (ROI) at the tracheal bifurcation and its upper and lower parts in slice images of the heart, aorta, lungs, paracranial muscles, and female breast, and the SNR of each organ was calculated. We also calculated the corresponding axial volume CT dose index (CTDIvolz) and axial size-specific dose estimate (SSDEz). The correlation analysis showed that the correlation between the SNR of the slice images of most organs and SSDEz was more significant than 0.8, and that between the SNR and CTDIvol was more significant than 0.7. The simple linear regression analysis results showed that when the sex is the same, the SNR of the same organ at 100kVp was higher than 120kVp, except for the lung. In multiple regression analysis, the result indicated that the determination coefficients of the SNR and SSDEz of the four groups were 0.934, 0.971, 0.905, and 0.709, respectively. In chest CT examinations with TCM, the correlation between the SNR of each organ in slice images and SSDEz was better than that of CTDIvolz. And when the SSDEz was the same, the SNR at 100 kVp was better than that at 120 kVp.

Predicting the risk of interstitial lung disease in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome: Novel nomogram and elevated Th2 cells

ObjectiveInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the most common pulmonary complications in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). This study was performed to identify immunological risk factors of pSS-associated ILD (pSS-ILD) and to further establish and evaluate of nomograms predicting the risk of ILD in patients with pSS. MethodsA total of 622 patients with pSS (117 with ILD and 505 without lung involvement) and 166 healthy control subjects (HCs) were ultimately recruited to this retrospective study. Routine examination indicators, tumour markers and lymphocyte (LYMP) subpopulations were extracted. Simple and multiple logistic regressions analyses were performed to screen for independent predictors. Restricted cubic splines were used to examine associations of independent predictors with ILD, and a risk assessment model was constructed. A nomogram prediction model was developed, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess its performance. ResultsUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the older age, white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (HB) level, albumin (ALB) level, CA242 level, and the C-reactive protein (CRP)/LYMP ratio (CLR) were independent predictors of pSS-ILD in a linear manner, these factors were integrated and used to construct a nomogram prediction model. The model had clinical predictive value. In addition, the elevated Th2 cells proportion in pSS patients was significantly positively correlated with lung involvement, while it was negatively correlated with HB and ALB levels. Remarkably, the numbers of Th2 cells were correlated with the CLR in both pSS patients and those with pSS-ILD. ConclusionsOur novel ILD nomogram could be used to assess the risk of ILD in pSS patients with good discrimination ability. As well as, elevated peripheral blood Th2 cell levels may be related to ILD in patients with pSS.

Demonstration of Autonomous Driving Control for a Retrofitted Wheel Loader

Most research on automating gravel pile transport using wheel loaders has been performed primarily through simulations. Thus, studies should evaluate the usefulness of automatic gravel pile transportation by demonstrating it with an actual wheel loader. This study demonstrates automatic driving control using a retrofitted 3-ton wheel loader for gravel pile transportation. The driving model of a retrofitted wheel loader, in which multiple control systems are interlocked, is considered a simple control model with one input and one output for the pedal and vehicle velocity as well as for the steering wheel and steering angular velocity. In this study, we propose a simple and practical method for constructing a driving model via simple response analysis using an actual machine by constructing a feedforward control model based on control input/output using step responses. In this study, feedforward control was applied to the translation of the vehicle, which has a large dead time. By generating the path following the target point from the vehicle predicted position after the dead time from the driving model, the appropriate control input value calculation considering the dead time was performed. By applying the proposed method to a retrofitted wheel loader in a real environment and evaluating the control performance through control experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method in practice was demonstrated.

The Impact of Vitamin D and Its Dietary Supplementation in Breast Cancer Prevention: An Integrative Review.

Vitamin D deficiency is currently a significant public health issue closely linked to numerous diseases, such as breast cancer. This study aims to determine the estimated optimal serum levels of vitamin D to have a protective effect against breast cancer, in addition to exploring the biological mechanisms and risk factors involved. A literature search of articles published in the last 5 years was conducted, and simple statistical analyses using mean and standard deviation were performed to calculate the average concentration of vitamin D from different available studies. It has been observed that serum levels of vitamin D ≥ 40.26 ng/mL ± 14.19 ng/mL could exert a protective effect against breast cancer. Additionally, various biological mechanisms, such as those related to the immune system, and risk factors like diet implicated in this relationship were elucidated. Consequently, it can be concluded that proper serum levels of vitamin D may have a protective effect against breast cancer, and dietary supplementation may be an appropriate procedure to achieve these optimal vitamin D concentrations.
