    Abstract Using the three-dimensional discrete element method, we numerically investigate the collapse dynamics and deposition morphology of low-viscocohesive granular columns on a rough-horizontal plane by systematically varying a broad range of values of the initial column aspect ratio, cohesive stress, and liquid viscosity. The results show that the kinetic energy, half runout time, and runout distance increase with increasing the initial column aspect ratio but decrease with increasing the cohesive and viscous effects of the binding liquid, while the toe angle and deposit height decrease with increasing the aspect ratio and increase with increasing cohesive stress and liquid viscosity. Remarkably, by defining a dimensionless scaling number that incorporates the Bond number and initial column aspect ratio, this allows us to nicely describe the kinetic energy, half runout time, deposition height, runout distance, and toe angle. These unified descriptions may provide insights into the physical properties of the collapse dynamics and deposition morphology of low-viscocohesive granular columns, leading to good explanations of the complex properties of natural disaster events.

    Abstract Penetration of intruders into granular packings is well described by separately considering the dry or wet case of granular environments in previous experiments and simulations; however, the unified description of such penetration depth in these two granular media remains elusive due to lacking clear explanations about its origins. Based on three-dimensional discrete element method simulations, we introduce a power-law fitting form of the final penetration depth of a spherical intruder with low velocity vertically penetrating into dry and wet granular packings, excellently expressed on a master curve as a power-law function of a dimensionless impact number that is defined as the square root of the ratio between the inertial stress of the intruder and the linear combination of the mean gravitational stress and the cohesive stress exerted on each grain in the packings, as a remarkable extension of the inertial number in dry granular flows. This scaling robustly provides physical insights inherent in the unified description of the material properties of granular packings and the impactor penetration conditions on the final penetration depth in the impact tests, providing evidence of impact properties in different disciplines and applications in science and engineering.

    Abstract Conventional graph neural networks (GNNs) are often confronted with fairness issues that may stem from their input, including node attributes and neighbors surrounding a node. While several recent approaches have been proposed to eliminate the bias rooted in sensitive attributes, they ignore the other key input of GNNs, namely the neighbors of a node, which can introduce bias since GNNs hinge on neighborhood structures to generate node representations. In particular, the varying neighborhood structures across nodes, manifesting themselves in drastically different node degrees, give rise to the diverse behaviors of nodes and biased outcomes. In this paper, we first define and generalize the degree bias using a generalized definition of node degree as a manifestation and quantification of different multi-hop structures around different nodes. To address the bias in the context of node classification, we propose a novel GNN framework called Generalized Degree Fairness-centric Graph Neural Network (Deg-FairGNN). Specifically, in each GNN layer, we employ a learnable debiasing function to generate debiasing contexts, which modulate the layer-wise neighborhood aggregation to eliminate the degree bias originating from the diverse degrees among nodes. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our model on both accuracy and fairness metrics.

    Abstract On graph data, the multitude of node or edge types gives rise to heterogeneous information networks (HINs). To preserve the heterogeneous semantics on HINs, the rich node/edge types become a cornerstone of HIN representation learning. However, in real-world scenarios, type information is often noisy, missing or inaccessible. Assuming no type information is given, we define a so-called latent heterogeneous graph (LHG), which carries latent heterogeneous semantics as the node/edge types cannot be observed. In this paper, we study the challenging and unexplored problem of link prediction on an LHG. As existing approaches depend heavily on type-based information, they are suboptimal or even inapplicable on LHGs. To address the absence of type information, we propose a model named LHGNN, based on the novel idea of semantic embedding at node and path levels, to capture latent semantics on and between nodes. We further design a personalization function to modulate the heterogeneous contexts conditioned on their latent semantics w.r.t. the target node, to enable finer-grained aggregation. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets, and demonstrate the superior performance of LHGNN.

    Abstract Aim: To determine all-cause mortality rate and the predictive value of plasma ferritin and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) concentrations for mortality during the first 3 years of hemodialysis in patients with end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD).
    Methods: We conducted a study on 174 ESRD patients (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate < 15 mL/min/1.73m
    Results: The all-cause mortality rate of ESRD patients in the first 3 years of maintenance hemodialysis was 22.9%. Plasma high hs-CRP, high ferritin, and low TIBC concentrations were independent factors associated with all-cause mortality in the patients. Plasma ferritin (cut-off value = 454.2 ng/L) and TIBC (cut-off value = 39.84 µmol/L) were predictors of all-cause mortality, AUC is: 0.772; 0.723, p < 0.001.
    Conclusion: Plasma ferritin and TIBC were good predictors of all-cause mortality in ESRD patients during the first 3 years of hemodialysis.

    Abstract Migrating Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) is a rare complication due to insufficient margins, especially large-hole Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). After deploying, ASO occasionally exposes the low margins, resulting in dislocated devices and embolization. The majority of embolizations happen right away after release. The embolized device must be removed using extended fluoroscopy and occasionally by open heart surgery. The device is released by unscrewing the cable while the snare holds the screw end. On Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), the device position is once again validated. If the device is stable, the snare is then removed.

    Abstract Introduction: Hypertension, a major health concern, is associated with significant mortality and disease burden worldwide, including Vietnam. Comprehensive interventions targeting medication, lifestyle modifications, dyslipidemia (DLP), and microalbuminuria (MAU) are vital for effective hypertension management and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease complications (CDV). While medication interventions have proven efficacy, the evidence regarding the effectiveness of community-based health education interventions in managing DLP and MAU is limited. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of community health education interventions in reducing hypertension risk factors and achieving hypertension management objectives, as well as managing DLP and MAU among hypertension patients.
    Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 330 hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia (DLP) and/or microalbuminuria (MAU) who were divided into a control group (n = 164) and an intervention group (n = 166). The control group received standard national hypertension management, while the intervention group received additional intensive health education provided by trained volunteers. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed by comparing outcomes such as lifestyle factors, BMI control, treatment adherence, hypertension control, and DLP and MAU status between the two groups before and after a two-year intervention period.
    Results: The health education intervention resulted in significant reductions in dietary risk factors, specifically in fruit and vegetable consumption (
    Conclusions: This study underscored the additional positive impact of incorporating health education by non-professional educators in achieving favorable outcomes, including better control of BMI, blood pressure, medication adherence, and management of dyslipidemia (DLP) and microalbuminuria (MAU). Further research is warranted to fully explore the potential of health education in primary healthcare settings and maximize its effectiveness.
