Young people recovering from childhood cancer may have complications related to the disease itself or treatment. Complications can be somatic, psychic or socio-occupational and familial. The current study aims to know the current status of young children treated in the oncology unit of PHOU (Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Unit), Rabat Children Hospital is exclusively or jointly between 1978 and 2004. Material and methods: It will be a cross-sectional study conducted among childhood cancer survivors treated between 1978 and 2004 at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Children's Hospital of Rabat. Medical and demographic data will be collected through questionnaires completed by phone or intemet, by the survivor, his parent or his physician. Discussion: To our knowledge, there is no previous study about the fate of Moroccan childhood cancer survivors before our study. Hence, it will be a cross-sectional study to have a quick picture on the situation in Morocco. It would be necessary to establish a follow-up strategy in Morocco.展开更多

文摘Background:Cardiorespiratory fitness(CRF)is a powerful predictor of mortality and chronic disease risk,yet global patterns and determinants of CRF remain poorly defined,particularly in females and underrepresented populations.We conducted a systematic review and quantitative synthesis of directly measured peak oxygen uptake(VO_(2peak))internationally and examined its association with human development and gender ine quality.Methods:Studies were eligible if VO_(2peak)was assessed via direct gas analysis during maximal exercise testing,and if the countries had scores for the Human Development Index(HDI)and Gender Inequality Index(GII).Studies were identified through MEDLINE/PubMed,Embase,CINAHL,and Web of Science.Risks of bias were assessed by an adaptation of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Multivariable linear regression models examined associations between VO_(2peak),age,sex,exercise modality,HDI,GII,and study year.Results:Data included 95 studies from 24 countries with HDI and GII scores,comprising 119,435 adults(42%females)with VO_(2peak)assessed via direct gas analysis during maximal exercise testing.The risk of bias was low.VO_(2peak)was positively associated with HDI(β=14.1)and negatively associated with GII(β=-3.6).Slightly stronger associations were observed in females than males(HDI:β=18.9 vs.β=13.9,GII:β=-4.6vs.β=-3.6).Young females in middle-HDI countries had higher VO_(2peak)than those in low-HDI countries(31.2mL/kg/min vs.28.5 mL/kg/min),with limited additional gams in high-HDI contexts.VO_(2peak)decreased with higher gender inequality,with the largest disparities observed in young females between high-and low-GII countries(26.3 mL/kg/min vs.32.8 mL/kg/min).Conclusion:Global variation in CRF is tied to national levels of human development and gender equality.These findings support prioritizing structural and policy-level interventions that address social and gender disparities in physical activity access and health promotion.Studies from countries with lower HDI and information on ethnicity and socioeconomic status will bridge crucial gaps in understanding factors involved in global CRF levels.
文摘Background: Malignant tumors of the child represent one of the major causes of mortality in children between 1 and 14 years in the West. Young people recovering from childhood cancer may have complications related to the disease itself or treatment. Complications can be somatic, psychic or socio-occupational and familial. The current study aims to know the current status of young children treated in the oncology unit of PHOU (Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Unit), Rabat Children Hospital is exclusively or jointly between 1978 and 2004. Material and methods: It will be a cross-sectional study conducted among childhood cancer survivors treated between 1978 and 2004 at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Children's Hospital of Rabat. Medical and demographic data will be collected through questionnaires completed by phone or intemet, by the survivor, his parent or his physician. Discussion: To our knowledge, there is no previous study about the fate of Moroccan childhood cancer survivors before our study. Hence, it will be a cross-sectional study to have a quick picture on the situation in Morocco. It would be necessary to establish a follow-up strategy in Morocco.
文摘Natural peatlands are a source of CH_(4) emission but a sink of CO_(2) and N_(2)O.On the other hand,peatlands drained for agricultural use suppress CH_(4) emission but become a source of CO_(2) and N_(2)O emissions.Drained peatland area accounts for 2% of the world's agricultural land,but its greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions account for 7%of global GHG emissions.Immediately after land clearing,N_(2)O emission significantly increases due to nitrogen(N)fertilization.

文摘To understand the roles of charcoal and ectomycorrhizal fungi(ECMF)on tree growth,which relates to the rehabilitation of forest ecosystems after forest fires,two experiments were set up in this study,the first was to determine the correct amount of charcoal for Japanese larch(Larix kaempferi Sarg.)seedling growth by applying oak charcoal to basic soil medium at ratios of 1:1,1:2,1:4 and 1:8 by volume.The second experiment investigated the combined effects of four types of charcoal:derived from oak wood,husks of buckwheat,rice and activated charcoal of larch wood,and two types of ECMF:Pt(Pisolithus tinctorius Pers.)and Ec(Pt+Rhizopogon spp.+Laccaria spp.+Scleroderma spp.)on the growth of Japanese larch seedlings.Our results show that growth was significantly stressed by large amounts charcoal applications.There were significant variations among the four types of charcoal on growth.We concluded that the addition of charcoal was the critical factor that influenced larch growth and ECMF formation.Rice charcoal and Ec stimulates the growth and nitrogen uptake of Japanese larch seedlings,thus the most suitable fungus and charcoal for practices is Ec-rice charcoal(1:8 charcoal to basic soil).

文摘Software systems are vulnerable to security breaches as they expand in complexity and functionality.The confidentiality,integrity,and availability of data are gravely threatened by flaws in a system’s design,implementation,or configuration.To guarantee the durability&robustness of the software,vulnerability identification and fixation have become crucial areas of focus for developers,cybersecurity experts and industries.This paper presents a thorough multi-phase mathematical model for efficient patch management and vulnerability detection.To uniquely model these processes,the model incorporated the notion of the learning phenomenon in describing vulnerability fixation using a logistic learning function.Furthermore,the authors have used numerical methods to approximate the solution of the proposed framework where an analytical solution is difficult to attain.The suggested systematic architecture has been demonstrated through statistical analysis using patch datasets,which offers a solid basis for the research conclusions.According to computational research,learning dynamics improves security response and results in more effective vulnerability management.The suggested model offers a systematic approach to proactive vulnerability mitigation and has important uses in risk assessment,software maintenance,and cybersecurity.This study helps create more robust software systems by increasing patch management effectiveness,which benefits developers,cybersecurity experts,and sectors looking to reduce security threats in a growing digital world.

文摘The duration of snow cover has shortened in the boreal region,and the amount of seasonal snow decreased.This affects the coupling between soil and air temperatures and may thus lead to colder soil and deeper soil frost.We prevented snow reaching the forest floor for two winters in mature boreal forest and studied how that affects tree and forest floor processes.The studied species were Scots pine,Norway spruce,silver birch,and a dwarf shrub bilberry.Decreased soil temperature,due to the lack of snow cover,decreased forest floor respiration in winter and spring.Simultaneously,response of respiration to temperature seemed to increase,perhaps due to the exposure of forest floor vegetation to cold air temperature.Indeed,lack of snow cover induced mortality of bilberry,but the remaining ramets grew more in height and their average leaf size was larger likely to compensate for the lost plant biomass.Lack of snow cover also affected tree hydraulics as tree water uptake was decreased in spring,and the start of the sap season delayed in birch.Pine and birch tended to grow less in the snow exclusion treatment(differences not statistically significant),whereas spruce grew more.Coarse root traits,e.g.water content and cellular frost damages,were not affected by the snow exclusion treatment.The results of this case study increase our understanding on the effects of changing snow cover on spring-time tree and forest floor processes in mature boreal forest,but also reveal the need for further studies on mature trees.

文摘Objective:To examine how emotional labor demands and strategies influence work engagement and occupational identity among Portuguese volunteer firefighters.Methods:Participants completed the Emotional Work Requirements Scale,Emotional Labour Scale,Utrecht Work Engagement Scale,and Social Identity Scale.Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the predictive effects of emotional labor demands and strategies on work engagement and occupational identity.Results:Emotional labor explained 11.8%of the variance in work engagement and 10.9%in occupational identity.Positive emotion expression significantly predicted higher work engagement and a stronger occupational identity,while the suppression of negative emotions predicted a weaker occupational identity.Other emotional labor dimensions were not significant.Conclusions:Findings underscore the dual role of emotional labor—as a resource when positive emotions are expressed and as a strain when negative emotions are habitually suppressed.Targeted interventions to promote authentic positive expression and effective emotional processing may enhance firefighters’well-being,strengthen crisis team performance,and benefit the communities they serve.Further research is needed to deepen the understanding of emotional labor in crisis response contexts.
文摘Immuno-positron emission tomography(immuno-PET)is an innovative medical imaging technique that combines antibodies(Abs)or other immune-targeting molecules with positron-emitting radionuclides.By targeting antigens that are highly expressed in hematologic malignancies,immuno-PET has transformed diagnostic capabilities and enables precise monitoring of therapeutic responses through highly sensitive and specific tumor cell detection.Additionally,it plays a critical role in advancing therapeutic approaches by seamlessly linking diagnostic imaging with personalized treatment strategies.Its non-invasive nature and ability to provide whole-body imaging offer significant advantages over traditional diagnostic methods,especially for detecting minimal residual disease and guiding adaptive therapeutic interventions.In Ab-based immuno-PET,positronemitting radionuclides must have a half-life sufficient for slower pharmacokinetics and blood clearance of Abs.Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of long-lived radionuclides,such as 89Zr,which exhibit low positron energy and enable high sensitivity and resolution,making them particularly effective for tumor visualization and characterization.This review explores the current applications,recent advancements,and potential of immuno-PET for hematologic malignancies,emphasizing its pivotal role in improving patient outcomes and advancing precision medicine.

文摘Sulfur-bearing species are widely utilized to investigate the physical structure of star-forming regions in interstellar media;however,the underlying sulfur chemistry in these environments remains poorly understood.Therefore,further studies of S-bearing species are fundamentally important,as they can enhance our understanding of the physical evolution of star-forming regions.This study presents observations of C_(2)S and C_(3)S in L1544,acquired using the Nanshan 26-m radio telescope,along with simulations of their chemical behavior using a one-dimensional physical model.The simulation results reveal significant radial variations in the column densities of C_(2)S and C_(3)S.Additionally,the column densities of both molecules are found to be sensitive to the cosmic ray ionization rate at several radial positions,while variations in the C/O ratio have comparatively minimal impact on L1544.
