To achieve this, the research focused on analysing these metrics across various dimensions, including temporal trends, sex differences, age categories and subnational regions.Methods The data used in this study are sourced directly from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, ensuring that the information is both authoritative and reliable. All-age count estimates and age-standardised rates (per 100 000) were calculated for prevalence, incidence and YLDs. The disease burden indicators were analysed for the period spanning from 1990 to 2021, stratified by sex, age and location. The percentage change between 1990 and 2021 was also documented. The 95% uncertainty interval (UI) was reported for each of the reported estimates.Results The prevalence of depressive disorders in Iran demonstrated a notable upward trend from 1990 to 2021, with the rate of growth being particularly pronounced within the country. The age-standardised prevalence rate per 100 000 individuals for depressive disorders in Iran was 5609 (95% UI 4810 to 6488). By 2021, the number of depression cases in Iran reached 5.2 million, which is approximately 2.37 times the figure reported in 1990. The prevalence of depressive disorders was notably higher among females compared with males. The age-standardised prevalence rate per 100 000 individuals for males was 4184 (95% UI 3545 to 4929). For females, this figure was significantly greater, reaching 7077 (95% UI 6115 to 8172). Out of the total reported cases of depressive disorders in Iran, 3.2 million were observed in females, while males accounted for 2 million cases.Conclusions The findings highlighted the considerable impact of depressive disorders in Iran, both nationally and regionally, while also revealing variations across sex and age groups. Given the shifts in the demographic structure and the growing burden of these disorders, it is essential to prioritise screening initiatives, education programmes and strategies aimed at enhancing mental health awareness and ensuring improved access to mental health services in health policy planning.展开更多

The work presented in this article was conducted in order to verify and evaluate the feasibility of applying group broadcast cryptography to the VANET environment, as an attempt to gain performance by decreasing the number of messages in the wireless network. Group broadcast is a symmetric/asymmetric hybrid cryptography method, aiming to merge the best of the two approaches without their major drawbacks. Simulations were set-up and run using the ONE simulator, comparing the usage of the three different cryptography approaches for VANETs. Results consider the number of connections, the number messages and the number of revocation messages per day. The resulting data promises that group broadcast encryption can be used to simplify the encrypting phase, reduce required storage and significantly decrease the number of messages in the network.展开更多

The mechanism of continental growth during the formation of the orogen remains unclear. Based on detailed fieldwork, we present a systematic study of petrography, mineral chemistry and phase equilibria of garnet amphibolites from the Hualong Group, which represents the Precambrian basement in the southern accretionary belt of the Qilian Orogen. The garnet amphibolites mainly consist of amphibole, plagioclase, garnet and quartz, with minor pyroxene, biotite and ilmenite. A peak stage of upper amphibolite facies to low-temperature granulite facies metamorphism and retrograde metamorphism in the amphibolite facies affected the samples. Garnet has a homogeneous composition of Alm66-71Grs14-17Prp9_12Sps3-s, amphibole is ferro-hornblende, biotite belongs to the ferro-biotite species and pyroxene is dominated by orthopyroxene with few clinopyroxene. Pseudosection modeling of the garnet amphibolite samples indicates clockwise P-T paths. The samples witness peak metamorphism at conditions of -4.9-6.3 kbar and -755-820 ℃ in the upper amphibolite facies to low- temperature granulite facies, and retrograde cooling and decompression at conditions of-2.5-3.1 kbar and -325-545 ℃. It is inferred that peak metamorphism with high temperature and low pressure occurred at ca. 450 Ma during northward subduction of the South Qilian oceanic crust beneath the central Qilian Block. When continental collision occurred between the central Qilian and the Qaidam blocks, the Hualong Block was aecreted onto the South Qilian accretionary complex and experienced amphibolite facies retrograde metamorphism at ca. 440 Ma.展开更多

文摘The disorderly mining activities and irrational layout in underground coal mines have left a large number of adjacent abandoned roadways.During the process of a working face passing through abandoned roadways,these structures are prone to varying degrees of damage,with frequent occurrences of roof leakage and induced rock burst accidents,significantly impacting subsequent mining operations and safe production.To address these issues,this study investigates the surrounding rock deformation patterns during fully mechanized mining face passage through abandoned roadway clusters.Specific countermeasures were systematically summarized according to different occurrence characteristics of abandoned roadways.Through mechanical analysis,the critical unstable width of coal pillars was determined to be approximately 16.1~16.8 m.A three-dimensional numerical model was established based on 17 abandoned roadways with various shapes and occurrences in the working face.Simulation results indicate severe deformation and failure in roof rock layer roadways,while floor roadways exhibit relatively minor damage.Notably,when the distance between abandoned roadways and the coal seam exceeds 8 m,almost no damage occurs.Three technical measures for passing through abandoned roadway group was proposed according to their occurrence characteristics and implemented in engineering practice.Field applications demonstrate limited coal stress variations and weak strata pressure manifestations during the crossing process,ensuring safe passage through abandoned roadway clusters.This achievement enables efficient and safe crossing of abandoned roadway group in fully mechanized mining faces,enhances coal recovery rates,and provides practical engineering references for similar geological conditions.

文摘Background:Even though various research has demonstrated the connection between consanguinity and health issues,consanguineous marriage still common in Egypt with high prevalence rate 35.3%,23.5%in semi-urban and 17.7%in urban areas.Methods:This study was conducted on 434native Arabic-speaking Egyptians children(3-10 years)who visited Special Needs Clinic at National Research Centre,among one year presenting with a hearing or/and language problem.They were subjected to psychometric assessment,Conners'Parent Rating Scales-Revised,Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised,Childhood Autism Rating Scale,audiological assessment,and Arabic Preschool Language Scale-4.Participants were classified into 6 subgroups according to the cause of language delay.We estimated the frequency and degree of consanguinity in each group and the association between consanguinity and hearing and language problems.Results:The prevalence of the consanguineous marriage in all participants(n=434)was31.6%with the mean inbreeding coefficient of 0.01208.First cousins'marriages were the most common type of consanguineous marriages(50.3%of consanguineous marriages).Among all participants in the 6 subgroups(n=434),language delay secondary to cognitive delay showed the highest percentage of consanguineous marriages(35%)followed by autism spectrum disorder(32.8%).No significant association between consanguinity and language problems.Among the 78 participants with sensorineural hearing loss,35.9%of consanguineous couples(no.=28 cases)were reported versus 64.1%of non-consanguineous couples(no.=50 cases).Conclusions:The Frequency of consanguineous marriages in our participants was 31.6%which was close to that reported in Egyptian population.Absence of significant association between consanguinity and language problems warrants further investigation and point to the role of genetic-environment interplay in cases of language delay.
文摘This article presents a preparation method for a tailing sand-specific polycarboxylate superplasticizer(AT9)containing multifunctional adsorption groups.By designing multifunctional adsorption groups(-COOH)as side chains grafted onto the main chain of conventional polycarboxylate ether,the antiadsorption effect is achieved.AT9 was characterized by gel permeation chromatography,and its performance was systematically evaluated in various tailings sand-cement mortar systems.A comparison was made between AT9 and traditional PCE in terms of their effects on the workability of concrete,and the interaction mechanism between AT9 and clay in cementitious systems was discussed.The results indicate that AT9 enhances the adsorption and dispersion effects of polycarboxylate superplasticizers on cement particles,and increases steric hindrance,thereby avoids intercalation adsorption of tailings sand,improves its water-reducing and slump-retaining performance,and also contributes to the strength enhancement of concrete in later stages.
文摘Background Mental disorders rank among the leading contributors to the global disease burden, with depressive disorders being among the most prevalent.Aims The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) associated with depressive disorders, particularly major depressive disorder and dysthymia, in Iran from 1990 to 2021. To achieve this, the research focused on analysing these metrics across various dimensions, including temporal trends, sex differences, age categories and subnational regions.Methods The data used in this study are sourced directly from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, ensuring that the information is both authoritative and reliable. All-age count estimates and age-standardised rates (per 100 000) were calculated for prevalence, incidence and YLDs. The disease burden indicators were analysed for the period spanning from 1990 to 2021, stratified by sex, age and location. The percentage change between 1990 and 2021 was also documented. The 95% uncertainty interval (UI) was reported for each of the reported estimates.Results The prevalence of depressive disorders in Iran demonstrated a notable upward trend from 1990 to 2021, with the rate of growth being particularly pronounced within the country. The age-standardised prevalence rate per 100 000 individuals for depressive disorders in Iran was 5609 (95% UI 4810 to 6488). By 2021, the number of depression cases in Iran reached 5.2 million, which is approximately 2.37 times the figure reported in 1990. The prevalence of depressive disorders was notably higher among females compared with males. The age-standardised prevalence rate per 100 000 individuals for males was 4184 (95% UI 3545 to 4929). For females, this figure was significantly greater, reaching 7077 (95% UI 6115 to 8172). Out of the total reported cases of depressive disorders in Iran, 3.2 million were observed in females, while males accounted for 2 million cases.Conclusions The findings highlighted the considerable impact of depressive disorders in Iran, both nationally and regionally, while also revealing variations across sex and age groups. Given the shifts in the demographic structure and the growing burden of these disorders, it is essential to prioritise screening initiatives, education programmes and strategies aimed at enhancing mental health awareness and ensuring improved access to mental health services in health policy planning.

文摘Animal body size variation is of particular interest in evolutionary biology,but the genetic basis remains largely unknown.Previous studies have shown the presence of two parallel evolutionary genetic clusters within the fish genus Epinephelus with evident divergence in body size,providing an excellent opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of body size variation in vertebrates.Herein,we performed phylotranscriptomic analysis and reconstructed the phylogeny of 13 epinephelids originating from the South China Sea.Two genetic clades with an estimated divergence time of approximately 15.4 million years ago were correlated with large and small body size,respectively.A total of 180 rapidly evolving genes and two positively selected genes were identified between the two groups.Functional enrichment analyses of these candidate genes revealed distinct enrichment categories between the two groups.These pathways and genes may play important roles in body size variation in groupers through complex regulatory networks.Based on our results,we speculate that the ancestors of the two divergent groups of groupers may have adapted to different environments through habitat selection,leading to genetic variations in metabolic patterns,organ development,and lifespan,resulting in body size divergence between the two locally adapted populations.These findings provide important insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying body size variation in groupers and species differentiation.

文摘Phytoplankton functional groups have gained increasing attention in recent years.To understand the composition of phytoplankton functional groups in Poyang Lake and their drivers,field investigations were conducted over three years:2013,2014,and 2016.Phytoplankton were dominated by diatoms,contributing from 20.19%to 57.57%of the total biomass,followed by cyanobacteria,9.81%-39.98%.Microcystis sp.and Anabaena sp.were the dominant species among cyanobacteria.Twenty-six functional groups were identified among 72 genera or species,and fiver groups(P,B,MP,H1,and G)were categorized dominant.All of dominant groups except H1 were tolerate highly fluctuating mixing intensities and showed a typical monthly succession variation.Water temperature,water level,and nutrients are key drivers for the variation of phytoplankton communities at taxonomic and functional levels.Both of redundancy and variation partitioning analyses showed that environmental variables might explain functional groups better than taxonomic communities,implying that the functional groups were more advantageous in showing the effects of environmental conditions than taxonomic compositions.Hydrological conditions have a crucial influence on phytoplankton assemblage dynamics in highly variable water regime lakes,but not in the largest ones.The functional groups method is suitable for identifying the spatial and seasonal characteristics of aquatic environments that significantly affected by water regimes.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the effect of ureteral access sheath(UAS)use and calibration change on stone-free rate and complications of retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS).Methods:Data from 568 patients undergoing RIRS for kidney or upper ureteral stones were retrospectively included.Firstly,patients were compared after 1:1 propensity score matching,according to UAS usage during RIRS(UAS used[+]87 and UAS non-used[−]87 patients).Then all UAS+patients(n=481)were subdivided according to UAS calibration:9.5-11.5 Fr,10-12 Fr,11-13 Fr,and 13-15 Fr.Primary outcomes of the study were the success and complications of RIRS.Results:Stone-free rate of UAS+patients(86.2%)was significantly higher than UAS−patients(70.1%)after propensity score matching(p=0.01).Stone-free rate increased with higher caliber UAS(9.5-11.5 Fr:66.7%;10-12 Fr:87.0%;11-13 Fr:90.6%;13-15 Fr:100%;p<0.001).Postoperative complications of UAS+patients(11.5%)were significantly lower than UAS−patients(27.6%)(p=0.01).Complications(8.7%)with 9.5-11.5 Fr UAS was lower than thicker UAS(17.2%)but was not statistically significant(p=0.09).UAS usage was an independent factor predicting stone-free status or peri-and post-operative complications(odds ratio[OR]3.654,95%confidence interval[CI]1.314-10.162;OR 4.443,95%CI 1.350-14.552;OR 4.107,95%CI 1.366-12.344,respectively).Conclusion:Use of UAS in RIRS may increase stone-free rates,which also increase with higher caliber UAS.UAS usage may reduce complications;however,complications seemingly increase with higher UAS calibration.
文摘This article aims to share an innovative experience of organizing and funding research involving those most directly affected:patients.The“ECLAIR”working group of the Canceropole Lyon Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes(CLARA)was created at the end of 2020 with the goal of contributing to the development of a call for projects on the patient experience in oncology,which was launched in January 2021.Initially composed of 8 members,including 7 patients,coordinated by a project manager from CLARA,the ECLAIR working group actively participated in drafting the specifications of the call for projects,developing the eligibility criteria for applications,revising the evaluation and selection criteria for projects,and monitoring the selected projects.This experience was repeated twice.With significant freedom of action,the working group made two decisions that strongly demonstrate the commitment to supporting research partnerships and the active involvement of those affected:firstly,by making partnership a mandatory requirement for the eligibility of applications,and secondly,by conducting the selection of projects themselves,after an independent scientific evaluation phase.Seeking to shed light on the“black box”of partnership,the article also presents the concrete modalities of interaction among the working group members,the adjustments made between different editions of the call for projects,and the relationships maintained with CLARA.
文摘VANET security is an evolving topic in mobile networks, as providing a secure layer of communications in such a dynamic and fast network is a challenge. The work presented in this article was conducted in order to verify and evaluate the feasibility of applying group broadcast cryptography to the VANET environment, as an attempt to gain performance by decreasing the number of messages in the wireless network. Group broadcast is a symmetric/asymmetric hybrid cryptography method, aiming to merge the best of the two approaches without their major drawbacks. Simulations were set-up and run using the ONE simulator, comparing the usage of the three different cryptography approaches for VANETs. Results consider the number of connections, the number messages and the number of revocation messages per day. The resulting data promises that group broadcast encryption can be used to simplify the encrypting phase, reduce required storage and significantly decrease the number of messages in the network.
文摘A subgroup H is called S-seminormal in a finite group G if H permutes with all Sylow p-subgroups of G with (p, |H| =1. The main object of this paper is to generalize some known results about finite supersolvable groups to a saturated formation containing the class of finite supersolvable groups.
文摘In this note, we give a sufficient condition for Mi-group. In particular, we show that if a finite group G is the semidirect product of two subgroups with coprime orders, in which one is a Sylow tower group and its Sylow subgroups are all abelian, and the other is an Mi-group and all of its proper subgroups are also Mi-groups, then G is an Mi-group.
文摘Ghana is the largest producer of gold in West Africa,a region with over 2,500 years of history with regards to gold production and trade.Modern exploration for and mining of gold in Ghana dates from 1874 with the establishment of the British Gold Coast Colony,which was followed in 1957 by the independence of Ghana and increased gold production since the early 1980s through Ghana’s Economic Recovery Plan.At the time of writing,gold production(108.2 tonnes or 3.48 million ounces[Moz]in 2014)accounted for approximately one-third of Ghana’s export revenues,with 36%of gold production coming from small-scale mining.

文摘The Qilian Orogen marks the junction of the North China, South China and Tarim cratons. The mechanism of continental growth during the formation of the orogen remains unclear. Based on detailed fieldwork, we present a systematic study of petrography, mineral chemistry and phase equilibria of garnet amphibolites from the Hualong Group, which represents the Precambrian basement in the southern accretionary belt of the Qilian Orogen. The garnet amphibolites mainly consist of amphibole, plagioclase, garnet and quartz, with minor pyroxene, biotite and ilmenite. A peak stage of upper amphibolite facies to low-temperature granulite facies metamorphism and retrograde metamorphism in the amphibolite facies affected the samples. Garnet has a homogeneous composition of Alm66-71Grs14-17Prp9_12Sps3-s, amphibole is ferro-hornblende, biotite belongs to the ferro-biotite species and pyroxene is dominated by orthopyroxene with few clinopyroxene. Pseudosection modeling of the garnet amphibolite samples indicates clockwise P-T paths. The samples witness peak metamorphism at conditions of -4.9-6.3 kbar and -755-820 ℃ in the upper amphibolite facies to low- temperature granulite facies, and retrograde cooling and decompression at conditions of-2.5-3.1 kbar and -325-545 ℃. It is inferred that peak metamorphism with high temperature and low pressure occurred at ca. 450 Ma during northward subduction of the South Qilian oceanic crust beneath the central Qilian Block. When continental collision occurred between the central Qilian and the Qaidam blocks, the Hualong Block was aecreted onto the South Qilian accretionary complex and experienced amphibolite facies retrograde metamorphism at ca. 440 Ma.

文摘The Central Qilian Block is a Precambrian block in the Qilian Orogen,which has long drawn international attention for the study of orogeny and continental dynamics.The Huangyuan Group in the Datong area is one of the Precambrian metamorphic basement units in the Central Qilian Block and reflects metamorphism in the Barrovian garnet zone and sillimanite zone from south to north.Based on detailed fieldwork,this study presents a systematic study of petrography,mineral chemistry and phase equilibria of schists and gneisses from the two metamorphic zones.The garnet metamorphic zone is composed of micaschist,garnet-bearing micaschist and felsic leptynite,with interlayered plagioclase amphibolite.The sillimanite metamorphic zone consists of garnet-bearing biotite micaschist,sillimanite-bearing biotite-plagioclase gneiss and felsic leptynite.Garnet from the garnet metamorphic zone shows growth zoning with increasing almandine and pyrope and decreasing spessartine from core to rim.Garnet from the sillimanite metamorphic zone is almost homogeneous.Towards the outer rim,the contents of almandine and pyrope slightly decrease and grossular slightly increase.Biotite in both metamorphic zones is ferro-biotite.Plagioclase is oligoclase in garnet metamorphic zone and andesine in sillimanite metamorphic zone.Phase equilibrium modeling of a sample from garnet metamorphic zone resulted in a clockwise P-T path with a prograde stage(4.5–5.0 kbar,520–530℃),a peak P stage(9.8–10.2 kbar,560–570℃),a stage of thermal relaxation(8.0–8.5 kbar,580–590℃)and finally a retrograde stage(6.8–7.0 kbar,560–580℃).Thermodynamic modeling of a sample from the sillimanite metamorphic zone indicates a prograde stage(5.5–6.0 kbar,540–550℃)and a peak stage(7.8–8.5 kbar,660–690℃).The results indicate that the Huangyuan Group experienced medium-pressure amphibolite-facies metamorphism,which resulted from continental-continental collision between the Qaidam Block and the Central Qilian Block.

文摘For the Guanshui Road Station tunnel project of Guiyang Metro Line 2,the wind pavilion group was moved out of the main tunnel to reduce the number of openings in the main tunnel,and the wind pavilion group was excavated in a triangular configuration at the entrance of the main tunnel.Based on the finite element software ABAQUS,a three-dimensional model is established to study the influence of different triangular-distribution tunnels excavation schemes on the surface settlement and tunnel stability.The objective of this study is to reveal the change rules of surface settlement,deformation and force in the support structures and the surrounding rock and identify the best excavation scheme for this tunnel configuration.Results show that to control the surface settlement and the deformation of the support structures,the optimal excavation sequence involves excavating the upper fresh air exhaust tunnel before the lower running tunnel.To control the stress of the support structures,the optimal excavation involves excavating the lower running tunnel before the upper fresh air exhaust tunnel.In this project,the most reasonable excavation sequence of the tunnel is from top to bottom.The most reasonable thickness of tunnel penetration is 5 m.
