Validism in the Elderly. Social Context and Functional Capacity by Mairovy Hernández Romero, Hilda María Delgado Acosta, Lourdes Elena Duany Badell, Belkis González Aguiar, Ismaray Sacerio González, Zenia Tamara Sánchez García

“…Retirees were represented at 38.9 %, the main non-communicable diseases that prevailed were: high blood pressure, ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, 40.4 % lived alone, 19.8 % had a caregiver, 14.5 % did not receive support and 9.9 % of the elderly who were in a probable state of social need. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> a well-nourished, loved, supported older adult, with all basic needs satisfied, as well as all associated diseases typical of this stage of life compensated, will have a better quality of life in any society.…”

Diversity of Hymenoptera in Indonesian Rice Agroecosystems: A Systematic Review of Species Composition and Ecological Roles by Zahlul Ikhsan

“…A strong positive correlation was found between Hymenoptera diversity and pest suppression rates, particularly during the reproductive stage of rice growth. Parasitoids and predators played dominant roles in controlling key rice pests.Conserving Hymenoptera diversity through sustainable farming practices is crucial for reducing chemical inputs, improving pest control, and enhancing the resilience of rice agroecosystems. …”

Mechanism of Permeability Evolution for Reservoir Sandstone with Different Physical Properties by Xianshan Liu, Ming Xu, Ke Wang

“…Corresponding to the distinct features in the stress-strain behaviors, the permeability of sandstones is found to evolve with a clear permeability decrease in the initial closure region, a constant permeability value in the elastic region, a permeability increase in the crack initiation and propagation region, a sharp permeability increase in the crack growth region, and a decrease permeability in the residual stage. The results also show that the variation patterns of permeability are similar for two reservoir sandstones under combination of confining pressure and water pressure; however, the strength and permeability are smaller for the sandstone with mud than that without mud, deeply indicating that mud-like materials have a relatively great impact on the mechanical properties and permeability, so mud components cannot be ignored for prediction of reservoir permeability. …”

An Algorithm for Optimal Allocation of Water Resources in Receiving Areas Based on Adaptive Decreasing Inertia Weights by Fei Li, Guang Zhang, Shaohua Hu

“…It is a time-varying process for the inertia weights and acceleration factors of the standard particle swarm algorithm so that they change nonlinearly with the continuous advancement of the iterative optimization seeking process, thus improving the convergence accuracy and speed of the algorithm and reducing the risk of falling into local optimum solutions at a later stage. Finally, based on the actual installation of the current water distribution reactive power compensation device, the shunt distributor set is selected as the reactive power compensation device, sensitivity analysis is applied to the load nodes for sensitivity calculation, and the nodes requiring compensation are connected to the shunt distributor set for flexible and optimal configuration. …”

Shear Stress Counteracts Endothelial CX3CL1 Induction and Monocytic Cell Adhesion by Aaron Babendreyer, Lisa Molls, Daniela Dreymueller, Stefan Uhlig, Andreas Ludwig

“…By contrast, no CX3CL1-dependent adhesion to stimulated endothelium was observed at high shear stress. Thus, during early stages of vascular inflammation, low shear stress typically seen at atherosclerosis-prone regions promotes the induction of endothelial CX3CL1 and monocytic cell recruitment, whereas physiological shear stress counteracts this inflammatory activation of endothelial cells.…”
