  • - Antibiotic self-medication (SMA) contributes significantly to the rise in antimicrobial resistance, but there is limited global data on its prevalence and related factors.
  • - A meta-analysis of 242 studies showed that 27.7% of the population self-medicates with antibiotics, with higher rates linked to wealth, healthcare family ties, home storage of antibiotics, and unregulated purchases.
  • - To combat the high rates of SMA, the study emphasizes the need for community-focused interventions like health education, better healthcare access, and stricter regulations on antibiotic sales.

We propose a non-cascaded and crosstalk-free multi-image encryption method based on optical scanning holography and 2D orthogonal compressive sensing. This approach enables the simultaneous recording and encryption of multiple plaintext images without mechanical scanning, while allows for independent retrieval of each image with exceptional quality and no crosstalk. Two features would bring about more substantial security and privacy.

Understanding the removal of heavy metals (HMs) in permeable pavement systems is of great significance for controlling urban runoff pollution and optimizing structural design. However, few studies have systematically investigated the mechanism of permeable pavement systems in removing HMs from stormwater runoff. In this study, we adopted a hierarchical strategy to understand the efficiency of individual structural layers on HMs removal in a permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) system.

To solve the problem of shortage of agricultural water resources and low utilization rate of fertilizer, a slow-release fertilizer based on chitosan modified water retention function was developed. Solution polymerization and semi-interpenetrating network technology were used to load urea aldehyde into carboxymethyl chitosan superabsorbent resin network. This technology realizes the simultaneous slow release of nutrients and water by using modified chitosan, which has important implications for the application of chitosan in agriculture to regulate the soil water and fertilizer conditions.

The transient surface current density reflects the external coupling of the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to the tested device. In this paper, the generation mechanism and measurement principle of conductor surface current density are introduced, and the surface current density distribution irradiated by EMP on a typical aircraft structure is simulated and analyzed. The traditional surface current density is usually measured by B-dot antenna, but its output signal is the differential of the measured signal, so additional integrators or numerical integration of the measured data are required.

Palmprints are of long practical and cultural interest. Palmprint principal lines, also called primary palmar lines, are one of the most dominant palmprint features and do not change over the lifespan. The existing methods utilize filters and edge detection operators to get the principal lines from the palm region of interest (ROI), but can not distinguish the principal lines from fine wrinkles.

Objectives: Scalp hair has the greatest number of hairs (typically 1-5) per follicular unit but is also the most susceptible body site to hair loss with age. Hence, we set-out to determine the degree to which scalp hair parameters change with age in women and men, any sex differences thereof and whether hair loss is random across follicular units.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 200 Chinese men and 200 Chinese women (30-69 years).

We present a new color computational ghost imaging strategy using a sole single-pixel detector and training by simulated dataset, which can eliminate the actual workload of acquiring experimental training datasets and reduce the sampling times for imaging experiments. First, the relative responsibility of the color computational ghost imaging device to different color channels is experimentally detected, and then enough data sets are simulated for training the neural network based on the response value. Because the simulation process is much simpler than the actual experiment, and the training set can be almost unlimited, the trained network model has good generalization.

Fingerprints are of long-standing practical and cultural interest, but little is known about the mechanisms that underlie their variation. Using genome-wide scans in Han Chinese cohorts, we identified 18 loci associated with fingerprint type across the digits, including a genetic basis for the long-recognized "pattern-block" correlations among the middle three digits. In particular, we identified a variant near EVI1 that alters regulatory activity and established a role for EVI1 in dermatoglyph patterning in mice.
