Its aim is to identify the unconscious factors of pathological travel among migrants. Pathological travel, as discussed in the scientific literature on psychopathology, is characterised by movements initiated under the influence of delusions, hallucinations or other serious psychiatric disorders. The aim of this research is to contribute to our understanding of how these unconscious factors influence migration decisions. Using a retrospective analysis of five cases, this study examines the psychological and psychiatric dimensions of migration, particularly among patients referred to the psychiatry department of the Niamey National Hospital between 2017 and 2018. The five cases analysed, representing 12% of a cohort of 40 migrant patients, suffered from chronic psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and chronic hallucinatory psychosis. By means of diagnostic interviews and categorical sorting, three main unconscious motivations were identified: the delusional state with themes of filiation and persecution, the hallucinations that dictated the travel behaviour, and the dissociative states manifested by depersonalisation and derealisation. It also emerges from this analysis that pathological travel often involves prolonged journeys on foot and without purpose. Thus, untreated mental illness plays a significant role in shaping and influencing individual and social behaviour. The results of this study have important implications for public health and migration policy. They highlight the need to integrate health assessments into migration management systems, particularly in regions serving as transit hubs for migrants. The research also highlights the need for culturally sensitive psychiatric interventions to address the interaction between pre-existing mental disorders and migration. This study contributes to a better understanding of the psychological dimensions of migration by highlighting the importance of addressing mental health as an integral part of humanitarian action. The knowledge gained paves the way for future research to explore this understudied aspect of migration on a broader scale.展开更多

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a major migratory barrier located in higher latitude Central Asia, exerts a substantial influence on avian migration patterns. Species traversing such ecological barriers may adopt multiple optimal routes, which can contribute to the formation of migratory divides. From 2018 to 2021, the migration routes of 13 adult Common Cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) breeding in the north of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were tracked using satellite transmitters. We found Common Cuckoos have two primary migration routes: western and eastern, respectively following western and eastern edges of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The eastern and western routes are likely the optimal routes for the Central Asian Common Cuckoos population to navigate the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Furthermore, two individuals exhibited intermediate migration routes, suggesting attempted traverses of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, although neither completed the migration. These intermediate routes may indicate migratory behavior influenced by hybridization between eastern and western populations or migratory flexibility. Common Cuckoos exhibit significantly faster migration speed, flight speed, and shorter stopover durations during spring compared to autumn. The observed seasonal differences in migration behavior support birds following time-minimization strategies during spring migration. These results revealed the diverse migration routes of Common Cuckoos shaped by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and seasonal variation in migration patterns.展开更多

However, there is currently no non-destructive and quantitative detection method for migration of plasticizers in propellant liner. In this study, we developed a HTPB sensing liner by incorporating conductive fillers-namely carbon black(CB), carbon nanotubes(CNTs), and graphene nanoplatelets(GNP)-into the HTPB matrix. The synergistic interaction between CNTs and GNP facilitates the formation of a tunneling conductive network that imparts electrical conductivity to the HTPB liner. To elucidate the functional relationship between conductivity and nitroglycerin(NG) migration, we applied the HTPB sensing liner onto double base propellant surfaces and measured both the conductivity of the sensing layer and NG migration during a 71°C accelerated aging experiment. The results shows that when CNTs/GNP content reaches 3wt%, there is an exponential correlation between conductivity and NG migration with a fitting degree of 0.9652;the average response sensitivity of ΔR/R0 relative to NG migration is calculated as 41.69, with an average deviation of merely5.67% between NG migrations derived from conductivity fittings compared to those obtained via TGA testing results. Overall, this sensing liner exhibits excellent capabilities for detecting NG migration nondestructively and quantitatively while offering a novel approach for assessing interfacial component migrations as well as debonding defects in propellants-a promising avenue for future self-monitoring strategies regarding propellant integrity.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Ventriculoperitoneal shunt(VPS)catheter insertion is one of the most widely accepted surgical procedures for hydrocephalus.Migration of the end of the distal VPS catheter into the scrotum is one of the rare complications of VPS catheter insertion.METHODS This is a systematic review of the published cases,and the literature search was performed from 1974 to June 30,2024,to retrieve the relevant manuscripts.The cases were grouped into two.Group A included cases of migration of the distal VPS catheter into the scrotum,detected in children.Group B included the cases of migration of the distal VPS catheter into the scrotum,which was detected in adults and older people.RESULTS One hundred-twenty cases of migration of the distal end of VPS catheter into the scrotum were included in this study,a systematic literature review.Group A included n=112 cases,and group B included n=8 cases only.Three-fourths of the cases involved the right scrotum.Bilateral involvement was rare.The indication for initial VPS insertion was congenital hydrocephalus in four-fifths of the group A cases.The majority were infants at the time of initial shunt insertion.Four-fifths of the group A cases were 24 months-old or younger at the time of clinical diagnosis and treatment was provided for migration of the distal VPS catheter into the scrotum.In children,the interval from VPS insertion or shunt revision if any,to the diagnosis of the complication mentioned above was 12 months or less in four-fifths of the cases.The repositioning of migrated distal VPS catheter into the peritoneal cavity and herniotomy was preferred for the surgical procedure,and it was performed for two-thirds of group A cases.CONCLUSION Migration of the distal part of the VPS catheter into the scrotum is a rare complication of cerebrospinal fluid diversion via VPS catheter insertion.It was most frequent in children,and the right side of the scrotum was most often involved.

文摘Migratory insect pests tend to suddenly immigrate into new habitats over a short period to simultaneously lay eggs in clusters,resulting in gregarious larvae that cause severe damage to crops.These aggregated larvae can adapt well to various natural enemies and pathogens in their new habitats,but how their resistance might be enhanced and its immunological significance remain unknown.Here,we examined how infection by a pathogen and a parasitic fly affect the immune response and migratory behavior in two phases of the oriental armyworm,Mythimna separata,which differ dramatically in their flight capacity and fecundity.The gregarious larvae displayed greater resistance than solitary larvae to the challenges of both the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae and the parasitoid Exorista civilis.In response to a challenge by M.anisopliae,gregarious larvae exhibited more pronounced increases in phenoloxidase(PO)activity and lysozyme activity than solitary larvae.Furthermore,in addition to the greater PO and lysozyme activities,the levels of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)were also greater in challenged gregarious and solitary larvae.Injection of dopamine(or 5-HT)significantly enhanced PO activity,lysozyme activity,antibacterial activity and larval survival.Subsequently,there was a significant increase in the flight capacity of adults derived from gregarious larvae challenged by M.anisopliae;while no significant variation was observed in the adults from challenged solitary larvae.The preoviposition period,oviposition period and fecundity were not significantly affected by M.anisopliae,regardless of whether the larvae were gregarious or solitary.These results provide new insights into the relationship between migration and immunity in insects,and their behavior after immunization.

文摘The gas-liquid countercurrent flow pattern is complex and the bubble migration velocity is difficult to predict in the process of bullheading well killing.The experiment on bubble migration in gas-liquid countercurrent flow in annulus is carried out under different working conditions to reveal how the wellbore inclination angle,liquid phase property and countercurrent liquid velocity affect the bubble deformation and bubble migration trajectory/velocity,and to establish a bubble migration velocity prediction model.The bubbles in the countercurrent flow mainly migrate in two modes:free rising of isolated bubbles,and interactive rising of multiple bubbles.The bubbles migrate by an S-shaped trajectory in the countercurrent flow.With the increase of countercurrent liquid velocity,the lateral oscillation of bubbles is intensified.The increases of wellbore inclination angle,liquid density and liquid viscosity make the bubble migration trajectory gradually to be linear.The bubble is generally ellipsoidal during its rising.The wellbore inclination angle has little effect on the degree of bubble deformation.The bubbles are ellipsoidal during rising,with little influence of wellbore inclination angle on bubble deformation.With the increase of liquid viscosity and density,the aspect ratio of the bubble decreases.As the wellbore inclination angle increases,the bubble migration velocity gradually decreases.As the liquid viscosity increases,the bubble migration velocity decreases.As the liquid density increases,the bubble migration velocity increases slightly.The established bubble migration velocity prediction model yields errors within±15%,and demonstrates broad applicability across a wide range of operating conditions.

文摘BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)is the most aggressive and prevalent primary malignant brain tumor in adults,marked by poor prognosis and high invasiveness.Traditional GBM invasion assays,such as those involving mouse brain xenografts,are often time-consuming and limited in efficiency.In this context,stem cell-derived neural organoids(NOs)have emerged as advanced,threedimensional,human-relevant platforms that mimic the cellular architecture and microenvironment of the human brain.These models provide novel opportunities to investigate glioblastoma stem cell invasion,a critical driver of tumor progression and therapeutic resistance.AIM To evaluate studies using stem cell-derived NOs to model glioblastoma migration/invasion,focusing on methodologies,applications and therapeutic implications.METHODS We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines,searching PubMed and Scopus for studies published between March 2019 and March 2025 that investigated NOs in the context of glioblastoma invasion/migration.After screening 377 articles based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria,10 original research articles were selected for analysis.Extracted data were categorized into four analytical domains:(1)Tumor model formation;(2)NO characteristics;(3)NO differentiation protocols;and(4)Invasion/migration assessment methodologies.RESULTS The included studies exhibit significant methodological heterogeneity GBM model development,particularly regarding model type,cell source and culture conditions.Most studies(70%)used suspension cell models,while 30%employed spheroids,with most research focusing on patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells.NOs were predominantly generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells using both guided and unguided differentiation protocols.Confocal fluorescence microscopy was the primary method used for assessing invasion,revealing invasion depths of up to 300μm.Organoid maturity and co-culture duration influenced results,while key factors for model optimization included tumor cell density,organoid age and extracellular matrix composition.Some studies also tested therapeutic strategies such as Zika virus and microRNA modulation.Collectively,findings support the utility of NOs as effective tools for studying GBM behavior and therapeutic responses in a humanized three-dimensional context.CONCLUSION Human NOs represent promising platforms for modeling glioblastoma invasion in a humanized three-dimensional environment.However,a limited number of studies and methodological heterogeneity hinder reproducibility.Protocol standardization is essential to enhance the translational application of these models.

文摘The attenuation and anisotropy characteristics of real earth media give rise to amplitude loss and phase dispersion during seismic wave propagation.To address these effects on seismic imaging,viscoacoustic anisotropic wave equations expressed by the fractional Laplacian have been derived.However,the huge computational expense associated with multiple Fast Fourier transforms for solving these wave equations makes them unsuitable for industrial applications,especially in three dimensions.Therefore,we first derived a cost-effective pure-viscoacoustic wave equation expressed by the memory-variable in tilted transversely isotropic(TTI)media,based on the standard linear solid model.The newly derived wave equation featuring decoupled amplitude dissipation and phase dispersion terms,can be easily solved using the finite-difference method(FDM).Computational efficiency analyses demonstrate that wavefields simulated by our newly derived wave equation are more efficient compared to the previous pure-viscoacoustic TTI wave equations.The decoupling characteristics of the phase dispersion and amplitude dissipation of the proposed wave equation are illustrated in numerical tests.Additionally,we extend the newly derived wave equation to implement Q-compensated reverse time migration(RTM)in attenuating TTI media.Synthetic examples and field data test demonstrate that the proposed Qcompensated TTI RTM effectively migrate the effects of anisotropy and attenuation,providing highquality imaging results.

文摘Amplitude dissipation and phase dispersion occur when seismic waves propagate in attenuated anisotropic media,affecting the quality of migration imaging.To compensate and correct for these effects,the fractional Laplacian pure viscoacoustic wave equation capable of producing stable and noise-free wavefields has been proposed and implemented in the Q-compensated reverse time migration(RTM).In addition,the second-order Taylor series expansion is usually adopted in the hybrid finite-difference/pseudo-spectral(HFDPS)strategy to solve spatially variable fractional Laplacian.However,during forward modeling and Q-compensated RTM,this HFDPS strategy requires 11 and 17 fast Fourier transforms(FFTs)per time step,respectively,leading to computational inefficiency.To improve computational efficiency,we introduce two high-efficiency HFDPS numerical modeling strategies based on asymptotic approximation and algebraic methods.Through the two strategies,the number of FFTs decreased from 11 to 6 and 5 per time step during forward modeling,respectively.Numerical examples demonstrate that wavefields simulated using the new numerical modeling strategies are accurate and highly efficient.Finally,these strategies are employed for implementing high-efficiency and stable Q-compensated RTM techniques in tilted transversely isotropic media,reducing the number of FFTs from 17 to 9 and 8 per time step,respectively,significantly improving computational efficiency.Synthetic data examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed Q-compensated RTM scheme in compensating amplitude dissipation and correcting phase distortion.

文摘The application of legal texts in the context of digital television is a process that relies on several normative instruments,ranging from international treaties,such as those of the ITU(International Telecommunications Union),to national regulations defining the obligations of audiovisual operators and the modalities of consumer support.Many countries have introduced specific laws and regulations to organize the gradual switch-off of analog broadcasting and encourage the adoption of new digital standards.Consequently,the digitization of Guinea’s broadcasting network cannot be carried out without taking into account the legal framework:allocation of resources and broadcasting players.Analog and digital broadcasting,according to regulatory texts,shows the relationships between the different communication management structures.As for digital broadcasting,we note the appearance of a new service,multiplex.

文摘Migration is a complex demographic phenomenon.Its dynamics can be explained by several factors whose spatial and temporal evolution is not easy to control.That is why this article aims to understand the factors of migration from a spatiotemporal perspective to fill the gaps in the literature.The aim of this article is to analyse the spatiotemporal dynamics of internal migration factors to deduce the zones of origin and destination in Burkina Faso.To do this,several types of data were used.These included secondary,spatial,statistical and survey data.The results of this study show that the influence of internal migration factors is uneven.The spatial distribution of internal migration factors follows a north-south gradient,with favourable conditions in the south.In fact,the northern part is characterised by a large population exodus,with around 42.6%of outgoing internal migrants,and the southern part by a large population influx.This southern part of the country receives around 34.6%of internal migrants.The areas from which migrants depart have unfavourable climatic,environmental,or socio-economic conditions,whereas the areas to which migrants migrate are characterised by favourable conditions for these factors.

文摘Lanthanide-sensitized upconverting nanoparticles(UCNPs)are widely studied because of their unusual optical characteristics,such as large antenna-generated anti-Stokes shifts,high photostability,and narrow emission bandwidths,which can be harnessed for a variety of applications including bioimaging,sensing,information security and high-level anticounterfeiting.The diverse requirements of these applications typically require precise control over upconversion luminescence(UCL).Recently,the concept of energy migration upconversion has emerged as an effective approach to modulate UCL for various lanthanide ions.Moreover,it provides valuable insights into the fundamental comprehension of energy transfer mechanisms on the nanoscale,thereby contributing to the design of efficient lanthanide-sensitized UCNPs and their practical applications.Here we present a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in energy migration upconversion in lanthanide-sensitized nanoparticles for photon upconversion tuning,encompassing design strategies,mechanistic investigations and applications.Additionally,some future prospects in the field of energy migration upconversion are also discussed.

文摘Population migration data derived from location-based services has often been used to delineate population flows between cities or construct intercity relationship networks to reveal and explore the complex interaction patterns underlying human activities.Nevertheless,the inherent heterogeneity in multimodal migration big data has been ignored.This study conducts an in-depth comparison and quantitative analysis through a comprehensive lens of spatial association.Initially,the intercity interactive networks in China were constructed,utilizing migration data from Baidu and AutoNavi collected during the same time period.Subsequently,the characteristics and spatial structure similarities of the two types of intercity interactive networks were quantitatively assessed and analyzed from overall(network)and local(node)perspectives.Furthermore,the precision of these networks at the local scale is corroborated by constructing an intercity network from mobile phone(MP)data.Results indicate that the intercity interactive networks in China,as delineated by Baidu and AutoNavi migration flows,exhibit a high degree of structure equivalence.The correlation coefficient between these two networks is 0.874.Both networks exhibit a pronounced spatial polarization trend and hierarchical structure.This is evident in their distinct core and peripheral structures,as well as in the varying importance and influence of different nodes within the networks.Nevertheless,there are notable differences worthy of attention.Baidu intercity interactive network exhibits pronounced cross-regional effects,and its high-level interactions are characterized by a“rich-club”phenomenon.The AutoNavi intercity interactive network presents a more significant distance attenuation effect,and the high-level interactions display a gradient distribution pattern.Notably,there exists a substantial correlation between the AutoNavi and MP networks at the local scale,evidenced by a high correlation coefficient of 0.954.Furthermore,the“spatial dislocations”phenomenon was observed within the spatial structures at different levels,extracted from the Baidu and AutoNavi intercity networks.However,the measured results of network spatial structure similarity from three dimensions,namely,node location,node size,and local structure,indicate a relatively high similarity and consistency between the two networks.

文摘During the storage of composite propellants, the migration of plasticizers and other unbonded additives at the interfaces of liner adhesives has garnered significant attention in understanding liner failure mechanisms, aging processes, and safety performance. However, there is currently no non-destructive and quantitative detection method for migration of plasticizers in propellant liner. In this study, we developed a HTPB sensing liner by incorporating conductive fillers-namely carbon black(CB), carbon nanotubes(CNTs), and graphene nanoplatelets(GNP)-into the HTPB matrix. The synergistic interaction between CNTs and GNP facilitates the formation of a tunneling conductive network that imparts electrical conductivity to the HTPB liner. To elucidate the functional relationship between conductivity and nitroglycerin(NG) migration, we applied the HTPB sensing liner onto double base propellant surfaces and measured both the conductivity of the sensing layer and NG migration during a 71°C accelerated aging experiment. The results shows that when CNTs/GNP content reaches 3wt%, there is an exponential correlation between conductivity and NG migration with a fitting degree of 0.9652;the average response sensitivity of ΔR/R0 relative to NG migration is calculated as 41.69, with an average deviation of merely5.67% between NG migrations derived from conductivity fittings compared to those obtained via TGA testing results. Overall, this sensing liner exhibits excellent capabilities for detecting NG migration nondestructively and quantitatively while offering a novel approach for assessing interfacial component migrations as well as debonding defects in propellants-a promising avenue for future self-monitoring strategies regarding propellant integrity.

文摘Although Ziegler-Natta(Z-N)polyolefins have been widely used as raw materials to produce pharmaceutical or food packaging,the migration of acid scavengers,an additive usually introduced in Z-N polyolefins,from the packaging to its contents has not been reported.In this work,the migration of the two most used acid scavengers,calcium stearate(CaSt_(2))and zinc stearate(ZnSt_(2)),from a Z-N polypropylene random copolymer(PPR)into water during autoclaving at 121℃ were comparatively investigated.It was found that,for PPR plates containing 0.1 wt%CaSt_(2)or ZnSt_(2)(PPR-0.1CaSt_(2),PPR-0.1ZnSt_(2),respectively),the concentration of migrated calcium ion into water increased with autoclaving time,while that of zinc ion was much lower at same treatment durations and did not show a significant increase with treatment time.Interestingly,after removing all plates and acidification treatment,a considerable amount of stearic acid was detected in sterilized water for PPR-0.1ZnSt_(2),but no such significant stearic acid was detected in sterilized water for PPR-0.1CaSt_(2).Based on the structural evolution of the two soaps upon heating,possible mechanisms for the different migration behavior of CaSt_(2)and ZnSt_(2)from PPR into water during autoclaving treatment were proposed.Our results suggest that the migration issue of acid scavengers is worthy of attention in pharmaceutical packaging materials produced from Z-N polyolefins.
