Abstract	Background: In connection with the study of chemical graph theory, it has been explored that a single number can capture the numerical representation of a molecular structure, and this number is known as a topological property (index). Objective: This study aimed to explore a few Zagreb topological properties for four hexa organic molecular structures (hexagonal, honeycomb, silicate, and oxide) based on the valency and valency sum of atoms in the structure. Methods: We employed the technique of partitioning the set of bonds according to the valency and valency-sum of end atoms of each bond and then performed the computation by using combinatorial rules of counting (that is, the rule of sum and the rule of product). The obtained results were also compared numerically and graphically. Results and conclusion: Exact values of five valencies based and five valency-sum-based Zagreb topological properties were found for the underline chemical structures.

Abstract	Since the 1994 China's tax-sharing reform, land finance has far-reaching influence on fiscal system and has critical implications for green development and industrial structure optimization. Previous studies have largely focused on the environmental aspect of land finance by considering carbon emissions as environmental indicator only and ignored social and economic aspects. To fill the research gaps, this study analyzed spatial and moderating effects of land finance on green development through rationalized industrial structure, quantity of advanced industrial structure, and quality of advanced industrial structure in 246 Chinese cities from 2006 to 2019. The results document that local and surrounding land finance have negative effect on China's green development. Local land finance inhibits green development in western and large cities, while surrounding land finance deteriorates in eastern and large cities. Through mediation of industrial structure optimization, land finance accelerates green development in national, eastern, and large cities. In western cities, land finance promotes green development through quantity and quality of industrial structure upgrading. In small- and medium-sized cities, quantity of industrial structure upgrading plays a positive role.

Abstract	Background: The concept of Hückel molecular orbital theory is used to compute the graph energy numerically as well asnd graphically, on the base of the status of a vertex. Objective: Our aim is to explore the graph energy of various graph families on the base of the status adjacency matirx matrix and its Laplacian version. Method: We opt for the technique of finding eigenvalues of adjacency and Laplacian matrices constructed on the base of the status of vertices. Results: We explore the exact status sum and Laplacian status sum energies of a complete graph, complete bipartite graph, star graphs, bistar graphs, barbell graphs and graphs of two thorny rings. We also compared the obtained results of energy numerically and graphically. Conclusion: In this article, we extended the study of graph spectrum and energy by introducing the new concept of the status sum adjacency matrix and the Laplacian status sum adjacency matrix of a graph. We investigated and visualized these newly defined spectrums and energies of well-known graphs, such as complete graphs, complete bi-graphs, star graphs, friendship graphs, bistar graphs, barbell graphs, and thorny graphs with 3 and 4 cycles.

Abstract	Background: Fall injuries and trauma-related hospitalizations are the most common causes of injury and in-hospital stay amongst the elderly population. After the age of 65, the severity and frequency of fall-related problems increases; the repercussions are challenging for senior citizens, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. This study aims to determine the injuries and outcomes resulting from falls in elderly patients presenting to Emergency Department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A cohort study design was used. All elderly patients aged ≥ 60 years who visit the Emergency Department with a history of a fall as a primary complaint presenting to the ED of a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan were included. A purposive sampling strategy was used to enroll 318 patients from August 2021 to February 2022. The outcome was risk of mortality. Each individual was followed for 90 days to study the outcome. A multivariable logistic regression was applied to check the association between the outcome and covariates. Crude and adjusted risk ratios were reported. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of the 318 participants, 265 (83.3%) were fall injury patients with comorbidities. More than half of the patients in both groups were female [32 (60.4%) & 146 (55.1%)]. Eyeglasses were used by most of the fall patients both without and with comorbidities [21 (39.6%) & 152 (57.4%) p 0.018]. There were multiple reasons for a fall including imbalance/dizziness, which was reported by one third of participants in both groups [15 (28.3%) & 77 (29.1%)] followed by a fall from stairs/steps/escalator [15 (28.3%) & 44 (16.6%) p 0.005]. At the end of one month, of those who had a comorbidity 20 (7.5%) expired. The risk of mortality among fall related injuries in elderly patients who were more than 80 years was 1.48 times (95% CI: 1.20-2.10) more likely when compared to those patients who were younger than 80 years. Conclusion: Efforts should be made to improve management of the underlying etiology of falls to prevent them in future. The factors that contribute to falls should be identified. Strategies and interventions should be planned to mitigate this risk of fall in elderly to improve their quality of life.

Abstract	China is experiencing a swift transformation from a rural to an urban society. This societal transition is the result of a country's ambition toward economic development. Rapid urbanization impacts on human wellbeing, environment, and infrastructure. Unlike many cases of urban extension, China's urbanization has led to increase in environmental issues, rather than to contain, and posed serious challenges to achieve sustainable development. To date, nevertheless, there is a little empirical enquiry on the spatiotemporal effects of multidimensional urbanization on green total factor productivity. Taking this into account, this article constructs a spatial panel data model based on 283 Chinese cities during 2006-2019. The results showed that the three types of urbanization (i.e., population, land, and economic) have positive effect on green total factor productivity (GTFP). Population urbanization has indirect positive effect on GTFP. Local land urbanization inhibits while surrounding land urbanization promotes GTFP. Economic urbanization has positive direct effect on GTFP. Considering regional heterogeneity, population and economic urbanization have positive effect on GTFP in eastern region. In central region, land urbanization significantly promotes GTFP, while economic urbanization has significant negative effect on GTFP. In the western region, the three types of urbanization are not conducive to GTFP. Considering sized heterogeneity, population and economic types of urbanization have significant negative effect on GTFP in small- and medium-sized cities. In large cities, the three types of urbanization have significant positive effects on GTFP. Considering temporal heterogeneity, the three types of urbanization significantly promote GTFP before 2014, but economic urbanization deteriorates GTFP after 2014. Our results recommend loosening Hukou system, improving land use efficiency, and developing technology and knowledge-intensive industries.

Abstract	Background: There is paucity of data describing the rate and quality indices of antibiotics used among hospitalized patients at continental level in Africa. This systematic review evaluated the pooled prevalence, indications, and types of antibiotics used in hospitals across Africa. Methods: Three electronic databases, PubMed, Scopus, and African Journals Online (AJOL), were searched using search terms. Point prevalence studies of antibiotic use in inpatient settings published in English language from January 2010 to November 2022 were considered for selection. Additional articles were identified by checking the reference list of selected articles. Results: Of the 7254 articles identified from the databases, 28 eligible articles involving 28 studies were selected. Most of the studies were from Nigeria (n = 9), Ghana (n = 6), and Kenya (n = 4). Overall, the prevalence of antibiotic use among hospitalized patients ranged from 27.6 to 83.5% with higher prevalence in West Africa (51.4-83.5%) and North Africa (79.1%) compared to East Africa (27.6-73.7%) and South Africa (33.6-49.7%). The ICU (64.4-100%; n = 9 studies) and the pediatric medical ward (10.6-94.6%; n = 13 studies) had the highest prevalence of antibiotic use. Community-acquired infections (27.7-61.0%; n = 19 studies) and surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) (14.6-45.3%; n = 17 studies) were the most common indications for antibiotic use. The duration of SAP was more than 1 day in 66.7 to 100% of the cases. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics included ceftriaxone (7.4-51.7%; n = 14 studies), metronidazole (14.6-44.8%; n = 12 studies), gentamicin (n = 8 studies; range: 6.6-22.3%), and ampicillin (n = 6 studies; range: 6.0-29.2%). The access, watch, and reserved group of antibiotics accounted for 46.3-97.9%, 1.8-53.5%, and 0.0-5.0% of antibiotic prescriptions, respectively. The documentation of the reason for antibiotic prescription and date for stop/review ranged from 37.3 to 100% and 19.6 to 100%, respectively. Conclusion: The point prevalence of antibiotic use among hospitalized patients in Africa is relatively high and varied between the regions in the continent. The prevalence was higher in the ICU and pediatric medical ward compared to the other wards. Antibiotics were most commonly prescribed for community-acquired infections and for SAP with ceftriaxone, metronidazole, and gentamicin being the most common antibiotics prescribed. Antibiotic stewardship is recommended to address excessive use of SAP and to reduce high rate of antibiotic prescribing in the ICU and pediatric ward.

Abstract	Electricity theft presents a significant financial burden to utility companies globally, amounting to trillions of dollars annually. This pressing issue underscores the need for transformative measures within the electrical grid. Accordingly, our study explores the integration of block chain technology into smart grids to combat electricity theft, improve grid efficiency, and facilitate renewable energy integration. Block chain's core principles of decentralization, transparency, and immutability align seamlessly with the objectives of modernizing power systems and securing transactions within the electricity grid. However, as smart grids advance, they also become more vulnerable to attacks, particularly from smart meters, compared to traditional mechanical meters. Our research aims to introduce an advanced approach to identifying energy theft while prioritizing user privacy, a critical aspect often neglected in existing methodologies that mandate the disclosure of sensitive user data. To achieve this goal, we introduce three distributed algorithms: lower-upper decomposition (LUD), lower-upper decomposition with partial pivoting (LUDP), and optimized LUD composition (OLUD), tailored specifically for peer-to-peer (P2P) computing in smart grids. These algorithms are meticulously crafted to solve linear systems of equations and calculate users' "honesty coefficients," providing a robust mechanism for detecting fraudulent activities. Through extensive simulations, we showcase the efficiency and accuracy of our algorithms in identifying deceitful users while safeguarding data confidentiality. This innovative approach not only bolsters the security of smart grids against energy theft, but also addresses privacy and security concerns inherent in conventional energy-theft detection methods.
