Objective: To evaluate the relationships of malignant lymphoma (ML) and exposure factors, including environmental, drug using, socioeconomic level and life style etc.
Methods: (1) Hospital-based case-control study with 1:2 matching was used; (2) 150 cases of ML and 300 controls were resulted; (3) logistic regression was used.
Results: (1) Adjust odds ratios (aOR) regarding contact to organic solvents were: benzene aOR = 2.78, P = 0.001;banana oil aOR = 2.28, P = 0.043; paint aOR = 1.96, P = 0.023; (2) aOR on pesticides contact: organic phosphorus aOR = 1.98, P = 0.034; chrysanthester aOR = 2.57, P = 0.013; organic nitride aOR = 2.55, P = 0.003; (3) aOR of using aspirin was 2.36, P = 0.005; (4) dog-raising: aOR = 1.76, P = 0.034; (5) the aORs of interval-term exposure to small dosage X-ray was 0.49, P = 0.015, and frequently catching cold was 0.67, P = 0.024; (6) the P-value of different occupations was more than 0.05; cigarette smoking OR = 1.01, P = 0.897; giving up smoking OR = 1.17, P = 0.073; alcohol-drinking aOR = 1.01, P = 0.414; hair-dyes OR = 1.06, P = 0.850; hair-perms OR = 1.26, P = 0.438; socioeconomic level OR = 1.00, P = 1.000 and with introversive character OR = 1.26, P = 0.266.
Conclusions: (1) Factors that might increase the risk of suffering from malignant lymphomas would include direct contact to organic solvents and some pesticides (organic phosphorus, chrysanthester and organic nitride), intake of aspirin, as well as dog-raising. (2) Regular exposure to small dosage X-ray and frequently catching cold seemed to decrease the risk of suffering from ML. (3) Occupation, smoking, giving up smoking, alcohol-drinking, hair-dyes, hair-perms, socioeconomic level and introversive character showed no significant relations to the risk of suffering from ML in this study.

Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa.
Background: There is a global need for synthetic speech development in multiple languages and dialects, as many children who cannot communicate using their natural voice struggle to find synthetic voices on high-technology devices that match their age, social and linguistic background.
Aims: To document multiple stakeholders' perspectives surrounding the quality, acceptability and utility of newly created synthetic speech in three under-resourced South African languages, namely South African English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa.
Methods & Procedures: A mixed methods research design was selected.

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures, and it affects tens of millions of people worldwide. Currently, the most effective diagnostic method employs the monitoring of brain activity through electroencephalogram (EEG). However, it is critical to predict epileptic seizures in patients prior to their onset, allowing for the administration of preventive medications before the seizure occurs.

Research Institute for Business and Social Processes, Faculty of Economics and Management, Rezekne Academy of Technologies, LV-4601 Rezekne, Latvia.
Food waste (FW) threatens food security, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency, with about one-third of global food production lost or wasted. Schools play a crucial role in addressing FW, representing lost resources and missed educational opportunities. The present research assessed three interventions to reduce plate waste (PW) in Rezekne City schools, namely (S1) a plate waste tracker, (S2) an awareness and educational campaign, and (S3) organizational changes, including larger plates, extended lunch breaks, and teacher supervision.

Plant-derived foods are potential vehicles for microbial antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can be transferred to the human microbiome if consumed raw or minimally processed. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the amount of clinically relevant ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in differently processed smoothies (freshly prepared, cold-pressed, pasteurized and high-pressure processed) and fresh produce samples (organically and conventionally cultivated) to assess potential health hazards associated with their consumption. The MGE and the class 1 integron-integrase gene were detected by probe-based qPCR in concentrations up to 10 copies/mL in all smoothies, lettuce, carrots and a single tomato sample.
