A hybrid quantum algorithm to detect conical intersections

Conical intersections are topologically protected crossings between the potential energy surfaces of a molecular Hamiltonian, known to play an important role in chemical processes such as photoisomerization and non-radiative relaxation. They are characterized by a non-zero Berry phase, which is a topological invariant defined on a closed path in atomic coordinate space, taking the value π when the path encircles the intersection manifold. In this work, we show that for real molecular Hamiltonians, the Berry phase can be obtained by tracing a local optimum of a variational ansatz along the chosen path and estimating the overlap between the initial and final state with a control-free Hadamard test. Moreover, by discretizing the path into N points, we can use N single Newton-Raphson steps to update our state non-variationally. Finally, since the Berry phase can only take two discrete values (0 or π), our procedure succeeds even for a cumulative error bounded by a constant; this allows us to bound the total sampling cost and to readily verify the success of the procedure. We demonstrate numerically the application of our algorithm on small toy models of the formaldimine molecule (H2C=NH).

Supplement Consumption by Elite Soccer Players: Differences by Competitive Level, Playing Position, and Sex.

Soccer is a sport practiced all over the world and whose practice begins in young athletes. Currently, the consumption of nutritional supplements is essential to achieve the maximum performance of players. The aim of this study was to describe the consumption of sports supplements (CSS) by elite soccer players and its association with their competitive level, playing position, and sex. A comparative descriptive and non-experimental study was performed during the 2021-2022 competitive season. A total of 70 elite players completed one online questionnaire about their CSS. We found that sports drinks (55.7%), sports bars (50.0%), whey protein (48.6%), caffeine (47.1%), and creatine (60.0%) were the most consumed supplements by the total sample. Relative to the categories, the CSS was higher in the senior teams for both men and women. Regarding playing positions, caffeine was more consumed by midfielders and forwards (p = 0.013). Finally, in relation to sex, significant differences were found in the consumption of sports confectionery (p = 0.036), whey protein (p = 0.002), β-alanine (p = 0.013), and melatonin (p = 0.016). Soccer club SS questionnaires gather data to understand patterns, assess effectiveness and risks, and aid research. In conclusion, differences were found in the CSS according to competitive level, sex, and playing position.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF COPING MECHANISM AND SELF EFFICACY IN TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB sufferers feel sad because they receive statements about disease transmission which can give rise to negative perceptions and cause stress. Effective coping mechanisms can influence the patient's self-efficacy towards healing. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between coping mechanisms and self-efficacy in TB sufferers at the Tamansari Public Health Center, Tasikmalaya City, Indonesia. The population in this study was people with TB disease. Total sample was 41 respondents with a random sampling technique. Quantitative research and cross-sectional method used in this study. The research results showed that the majority of TB sufferers had adaptive coping mechanisms with high self-efficacy. The results of the Chi-Square test obtained a p-value of 0.001 < 0.05, meaning that there was a relationship between coping mechanisms and self-efficacy in TB sufferers. Coping mechanisms can influence sufferers' self-confidence in their abilities, adaptive coping mechanisms can make TB sufferers have high self-confidence to achieve optimal recovery. The results of this research are expected to play a role in providing health education and family support to sufferers to increase sufferers' confidence in recovery.

Investigating of augmented reality and cold vibration therapy on anxiety in children during intravenous insertion: a quasi-experimental study

Anxiety tends to escalate when children undergo intravenous insertion. The success rate of the first attempt at intravenous insertion is suboptimal, leading to increased anxiety in children and prolonged treatment. Unfortunately, current interventions are not yet optimal. This study aimed to determine the influence of augmented reality and cold vibration on children's anxiety during intravenous insertion procedure. This research used an experimental pre-post-test nonequivalent control group design. Purposive sampling was employed, taking into consideration inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instrument used demographic data and Child Anxiety Meter (CAM). The independent variables in this study are augmented reality and cold vibration. The dependent variable is anxiety. The total sample consisted of 60 respondents divided into an intervention group (n=30) and comparison group (n=30). Descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, percentages, Paired T-test, Wilcoxon, and Independent T-test were applied for data analysis. Participants in the intervention group experienced a decrease in mean higher anxiety score (2.03), compared to the comparison group (0.59). The independent t-test indicated <0.001 (<0.05) for a p-value. Based on these results, the application of augmented reality and cold vibration can be considered as non-pharmacological therapy to reduce anxiety. The results of this research are very useful for preparing operational plans and developing inpatient service systems, especially in providing health services to pediatric patients during intravenous insertion.

Exploring the Influence of Slope Gradient on Tree Species Richness and Forest Structure

Slope gradient is a critical environment factor influencing the abundance, distribution and diversity of vegetation. The objective of this study was to exploring the influence of slope gradient on tree species richness and forest structure in Kpatawee forest, Liberia. Tree diameter was measured at breast height for species more than 5 cm in diameter and over 3 m in height. Tree species diversity was analyzed using Shannon diversity index (Hˈ). Basal area (BA) which is the cross-sectional area of tree stems was measured through the diameter at breast height that is 1.3 m above ground level. Results showed that a total of 26 tree species were identified from the total sampling area (0.36 ha). The three richest families: Moraceae, Rutaceae and Euphorbiaceae appear to be well represented in the Kpatawee forest. These families become outnumbered in the herbaceous except for the Rutaceae family, which is ranked second. This is mainly due to their adaptation potential to wider agro-ecologies. Tree species richness was higher in the lower altitude. High species abundance was recorded in the lower altitude followed by the middle and upper. The lowest Shannon diversity index value (H' = 1.85) and the highest value (H' = 2.28) were recorded in the upper, and the lower altitudes, respectively. Despite their values, the biodiversity did not vary greatly from altitude to altitude. Diameter class distribution showed that more species were in the lower diameter classes and decreased gradually towards the higher classes. It is recommended that further studies on the entire Kpatawee forest is needed to fully understand the species richness in the forest.

Molting incidents of Hyalomma spp. carrying human pathogens in Germany under different weather conditions.

Hyalomma marginatum and H. rufipes are two-host tick species, which are mainly distributed in southern Europe, Africa to central Asia but may also be found in Central and Northern Europe through introduction by migratory birds. Ticks were collected while feeding or crawling on animals and humans, or from the environment, in different regions in Germany, between 2019 and 2021 in a citizen science study and from 2022 to 2023 in the wake of this study. From 2019 to 2023, a total of 212 Hyalomma adult ticks were detected in Germany. This included 132 H. marginatum and 43 H. rufipes ticks sent to research institutions and 37 photographic records that were only identified to genus level. The number of detected ticks varied over the years, with the highest number of 119 specimens recorded in 2019, followed by 57 in 2020. Most of the specimens were collected from horses, while some were collected from other animals, humans or found crawling on human clothes or other objects inside or outside houses. The screening of 175 specimens for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and of 132 specimens for Babesia/Theileria spp. by PCR gave negative results, while human-pathogenic Rickettsia were detected in 44% (77/175) of the total samples. Subsequent amplicon sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of representative samples determined the species of 41 Rickettsia aeschlimannii and one R. slovaca sequences. Analysis of climatic factors indicated a significantly higher probability of Hyalomma occurrence at locations with higher average spring temperature during the years 2019 and 2020 compared to randomly generated pseudo-absence locations. Dry and hot conditions probably facilitated Hyalomma nymphs' survival and molting into adults during these years.

Spatial Distribution of Arsenic in the Aksu River Basin, Xinjiang, China: The Cumulative Frequency Curve and Geostatistical Analysis

The quality of drinking water is crucial for human health and the sustainable development of societies. The Aksu River Basin, a typical inland river system, has areas where groundwater arsenic levels exceed safe drinking water standards (i.e., arsenic concentrations greater than 10 μg/L). Identifying the causes of high arsenic levels in the basin’s groundwater requires further study. Analyzing the hydrogeochemical composition of the Aksu River basin helps us to understand the spatial distribution of groundwater environments and locate areas with dangerously high arsenic levels. In this research, we collected 196 groundwater samples from along the river. Out of these, 38 samples had arsenic levels above 10 μg/L, which represents 19.4% of the total samples collected. By examining the slope changes in the cumulative frequency curves of major ion ratios and employing geostatistics (specifically, the Kriging interpolation), and taking into account the environmental characteristics of the entire basin, we divided the study area into five sub-regions (Zone I through Zone V). The geostatistical analysis showed a significant spatial variability in groundwater arsenic levels, with a clear spatial correlation. Our findings demonstrate that arsenic concentrations in the Aksu River basin’s groundwater vary widely, with Zones II and III—mainly located in the northeastern part of the basin and in Awat County—being hotspots for high-arsenic water. Factors such as a weak reducing environment, intense evaporation, strong cation exchange, and the low-permeability recharge of surface water contribute to the accumulation of arsenic in the basin’s groundwater. The results of this study are vital for assessing the risk of arsenic contamination in groundwater in similar basins and for identifying critical areas for further investigation and research.

Invasion status of hatchery-origin pink salmon in an unstocked river at the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage Site in northern Japan.

Hatchery fish and their offspring (including hatchery-wild hybrids) have lower reproductive success than wild fish. Thus, the straying of hatchery fish may negatively impact wild populations, depending on the number of wild salmon returning and hatchery strays. We investigated the straying status of hatchery-origin pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), which have a higher straying rate than other salmonids, in an unstocked river at the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage Site, Japan. The hatchery strays accounted for 40.0% and 19.0% of the total samples in 2021 and 2022, respectively. These results indicate that hatchery pink salmon have invaded unstocked rivers and potentially genetically affect wild populations.

Disease-Modifying Medications in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in the USA: Trends from 2016 to 2021.

Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), since their introduction in 1990, have revolutionized the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Newer DMARDs have recently been approved, influencing treatment patterns and clinical guidelines. To update the current prescribing patterns of DMARDs in the pharmacotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to include the pandemic era. This was a retrospective cross-sectional multi-year study. Using Optum's Clinformatics® Data Mart Database, we summarized trends in the prevalence of DMARD use in the USA from 2016 to 2021 by year for adult patients ≥ 18 years old with at least one medical RA claim and one pharmacy/medical claim of a DMARD medication. Trends included type of DMARD, class of DMARD (conventional (csDMARDs), biologics [tumor necrosis factor (TNFi) and Non-TNFi), and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKs)], and triple therapy [methotrexate (MTX), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), sulfasalazine (SUL)] used. The total sample from 2016 to 2021 was 670,679 commercially insured patients. The average age was 63.7 years (SD 13.6), and 76.7% were female and 70% were White. csDMARDs remain the most prescribed (ranging from 77.2 to 79.2%). Although JAKs were the least prescribed DMARD class, their proportion more than doubled from 2016 (1.5%) to 2021 (4%). MTX utilization declined from 40% in 2016 to 34% in 2021. In contrast, HCQ use increased during the pandemic era from <25% in 2018 to 30% in 2021. Although there is evidence of the therapeutic benefit of triple therapy, its use was very low (~1%) compared to biologics only (~17%) or biologics+MTX (~10%). About half of patients with RA were on DMARDs. As expected, csDMARDs were highly used consistently. The COVID-19 pandemic might have influenced the use of HCQ and infusion DMARDs. Triple therapy use remains low.

Historical Trend Analysis and Future Projections of Rainfall in Amhara, Ethiopia

Understanding rainfall trends &amp; projections is essential for water resource management. This study showed historical (1981-2020) and future (2021-2100) rainfall amounts and trends across 71 grid points separated by 0.44o in Amhara and Amhara’s five rainfall regimes (A3, A4, A5U, A5L, A6). Ground and satellite merged historical data from Ethiopia Meteorology Institute (EMI) and the Rossby Centre Regional Atmospheric Model (RCA) forced by an ensemble of the best-performed Global Circulation Models (GCMs) in Amhara, HadGEM2-ES of UK and MPI-ESM-LR of Germany, in three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 from CORDEX project were the basis of dataset. Amhara’s annual, seasonal, and monthly historical rainfall trends mostly increased. During Jun-Sep (Kiremt), lower rainfall receiving regimes (A6, A5L, A5U) had a significant increasing trend (~ 4 mm/year), while wetter regimes (A3 &amp; A4) had a non-significant increasing (&lt; 1 mm/year) and decreasing (~ -0.5 mm/year) trends, respectively. Generally, compared to the climatology, the annual and Kiremt rainfall in Amhara is projected to increase in the near-term (2021-2040) and mid-term (2041-2060) and decrease in the long-term (2081-2100); Oct-Jan (Bega) rainfall is projected to increase in all future terms and all RCP scenarios while Feb-May (Belg) rainfall will be abrupt

The prevalence and distribution of risk factors for depression and emotional mental disorders in the elderly in Indonesia.

Depression is a mental health disorder. The prevalence of mental health disorders in the elderly is high. This study was to determine the mental status depression and emotional of the elderly based on their characteristics. This study was a further analysis of Basic Health Research 2018 data. The population was all households from all districts/cities in 33 provinces in Indonesia with a cross-sectional design. The sample was all elderly, with a total sample of 82,304,000 people. The respondents included young elderly (60-69 years), middle elderly (70-79 years), and old elderly (>80 years). Depression is experienced by most of elderly aged 60 to 69 years as many as 3,756,384 respondents (59.72%), females as many as 3,885,191 respondents (61.77%), living in urban areas, as many as 3,147,131 respondents (50.03%), graduated from elementary school as many as 2,052,22 respondents (32.63%), not working as many as 3,535,241 respondents (56.21%), and quintile one expenditure level as many as 1,532,358 respondents (24.36%). Emotional disorders of depression in elderly are due to the adaptation process to physical and psychosocial changes. Family support is a must to improve elderly's quality of life on mental health aspects, especially depression. Furthermore, better treatment by medical personnel is required.

Household food insecurity and associated factors among postpartum women in southern Ethiopia: a community based cross sectional study

Approximately two billion individuals, or 26.4% of the global population, live in moderate- to severely food-insecure circumstances. It was discovered that not receiving all recommended antenatal care throughout one's pregnancy is one of the effects of household insecurity. The majority of women in Ethiopia, one of the most food-insecure countries in the world, with 10% of the population facing food poverty, devote more of their time to household duties, making food insecurity in the home the primary effect of poor prenatal care utilization. The main objective this study was to assess the status of household food insecurity among postpartum women at Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 381 mothers who were enrolled from December 1, 2022, to January 30, 2023. The total sample size was allocated proportionately to the number of postpartum women living in each kebeles taking from the town registry of health extension workers for immunization. Thus, systematic sampling was applied. Kobo Toolbox was used for data collection and cleaning, which was then analyzed using the statistical package of Social Science Version 26 (SPSS). In this study, the prevalence of food insecurity was 30.2% (95% CI 25.5–34.5). The associated factors with household food-insecurity were maternal occupation (AOR = 0.5, 95% CI 0.27, 0.90), late antenatal care initiation (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI 2.13, 5.91), and low monthly income (AOR = 3.1, 95% CI 1.38, 6.93). Food insecurity among postpartum mothers in the study area is high. Families who are severely food insecure require quick assistance to lower poor maternal and neonate’s outcomes. Furthermore, enhancing the occupation of mothers is crucial in reducing the morbidities and mortality of food insecure mothers, such as delayed prenatal care services, anemia, low birth weight, and stillbirth.

AntimicrobialResistance and Virulence of Shiga-Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli from Milk Samples of Some Cattle Farms Al-Buḥayrah Governorate Egypt

Objective: Contamination of milk with Escherichia coli (E. coli) can pose significant public health and economic concerns. The current study was conducted to explore the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profiles of Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli in milk samples of dairy cows in Egypt. Study Design: Twenty milk samples were gathered from dairy cattle (ten from healthy cows and ten from mastitic cows) and examined for the presence of Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli using Eosin Methylene Blue agar. Molecular detection of virulence genes and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance were performed. Results: E. coli was isolated from 65% (13/20) of the total milk samples (90% from mastitic cows and 40% from normal healthy cows). The virulence gene profiling of E.coli by polymerase chain reaction revealed that 84.62% (11/13) were Stx2a, 69.23% (9/13) were Stx2f, and 61.54% (8/13) were positive for Stx1 and Stx2 similarly. All the isolates showed resistance to Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin, Linezolid, Penicillin G, and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, while 92.3% expressed resistance to Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic acid, and Tylosin, and 84.62% of the isolates were resistant to Oxytetracycline indicating multidrug-resistant profiles. Conclusion: The present work highlights the presence of various E. coli strains, including potential pathogens and multidrug-resistant isolates, in milk samples from dairy cows. Regular milk testing and improved mastitis control measures are the key to reduce the public health risks and to safeguarde dairy farm productivity.

Relationship between Lifestyle Determinants and Perceived Mental and Physical Health in Italian Nursery and Primary School Teachers after the COVID-19 Lockdown.

The COVID-19 lockdown and the consequent distance school learning made epochal changes in children's lifestyles; however, little is known about the lockdown effects on school teacher habits. The aim of this observational study is to examine differences in the lifestyle of nursery (NS) and primary (PS) school teachers after one of the COVID-19 lockdowns and investigate the relationship between perceived physical/mental health and demographics, weight status and lifestyle determinants, such as adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and physical activity level (PAL). A total sample of 265 participants (49.22 ± 6.95 years) filled out an online information questionnaire and standardized questionnaires to collect data on the Physical Component Summary (PCS), Mental Component Summary (MCS), PAL and MD-adherence. A t-test or ANOVA analysis was used to assess differences between quantitative variables: Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis tests for qualitative variables. Spearman's correlations and multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to identify categorical factors associated with classes of PCS and MCS. Teachers showed sufficient/high PAL, with a significantly higher level in the PS group (p < 0.05). This last showed a higher PCS score (p < 0.05). No differences between groups were found for MD-adherence, which was moderate/fair in both groups, and MCS, which was sufficient/good. Logistic regression showed that the only positive predictor of a high PCS was being physically active (OR 2.10, 95%CI 1.05-4.2, p < 0.05), while MCS was positively associated with normal weight status (OR 0.48, 95%CI 0.33-0.78, p = 0.020). This study highlights that PS teachers are more active than the NS group and perceive a higher physical health level. Mere predictors of physical and mental well-being are PA practice and being normal weight, respectively. This suggests that interventions to improve perceived health in this work category should be focused on the promotion of physical activity practice and on the maintenance of an optimal weight status.

Hubungan Supervisi Kepala Ruangan Dengan Kepatuhan Tenaga Kesehatan Dalam Menjalankan Standar Operasional Prosedur Pemasangan Infus Di UPTD Puskesmas Mawasangka TimurTahun 2023

Infusion is one of the invasive procedures performed by health workers by injecting a certain amount of fluid into the body into the vein to improve or prevent fluid and electrolyte, blood, and nutritional disturbances. The act of installing an infusion will be of high quality if in its implementation it always complies with the standards that have been set. One of the factors that can affect the performance of nurses, including the compliance of nurses and midwives in providing actions according to the SOP is supervision. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the supervision of the head of the room and the compliance of health workers in carrying out standard operating procedures for infusion at the UPTD Puskesmas Mawasangka Timur in 2023. This study is a correlation analytic study with a cross sectional study design. The sample in this study was 41 people consisting of 21 nurses and 20 midwives. The sampling technique used in this study is nonprobability sampling with total sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a relationship between the supervision of the head of the room and the compliance of health workers in carrying out standard operating procedures for infusion at the Mawasangka Timur Health Center UPTD in 2023 (p-value 0.000 &lt;0.05). Supervision of the head of the room has a significant role in increasing the compliance of health workers, especially nurses and midwives, in carrying out standard operational procedures for infusion installation.&#x0D; &#x0D;

Comparative analysis of patellar tendon, achilles tendon and plantar fascia structure in indoor and outdoor football players: a novel cross-sectional pilot study

Different sport modalities were associate with tendon adaptation or even tendon disturbances, such as volleyball, soccer or basketball. Purpose: the aim of the present study was to determine de difference between indoor and outdoor football players on patellar tendon (PT), Achilles tendon (AT), plantar fascia (FP) and Hoffa’s fat pad thickness assessed with ultrasound imaging (USI). A cross-sectional study was developed with a total sample of 30 soccer players divided in two groups: outdoor group (n = 15) and indoor group (n = 15). The thickness of PT, AT, PF and Hoffa’s fat pad has been assessed with USI. Hoffa’s fat pad reported significant differences for the left side between groups (P = 0.026). The rest of variables did not show any significant difference (P < 0.05). The ultrasonography assessment of the thickness of the PT, AT and PF did not show differences between outdoor and indoor football players. Hoffa’s fat pad resulted showed a significant decrease for outdoor soccer players with respect futsal players. Thus, it can be considered that the load stimuli received in both soccer players were not enough to produce structural adaptations in PT, AT and PF tissues.
