Summary: The study found that the prevalence of sexual violence victimization among school-going adolescents in urban Ghana compares with estimates from sub-Saharan Africa, with girls being nearly three times more likely to report sexual violence victimization compared to boys. Specific factors such as breakup, sexual minority status, and conflict with parents were uniquely associated with sexual violence victimization among females. Regardless of gender, adolescents in romantic relationships and those who reported physical abuse victimization were more likely to report sexual violence victimization.

Summary: The concept of the 'toxic trio' describes the risk of child abuse and neglect resulting from a combination of domestic violence, parental mental health issues and/or learning disability, and parental alcohol and/or drug misuse. Despite its popularity in children's social care in England, there is a lack of quality evidence regarding the incidence of these factors in child maltreatment, calling for more attention to be given to other significant factors for family and child protection.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of domestic violence on substance dependence and suicide resilience among child laborers in Iran. The findings show that exposure to domestic violence directly affects substance dependence and indirectly affects suicide resilience in child laborers. Substance dependence also directly affects suicide resilience in these children. Variables such as gender, guardian's disease status, living status, and age can predict the variance in domestic violence in child laborers. Therefore, systematic support programs are needed to help these children, reduce domestic violence, and improve their resilience to substance abuse and suicide.

Summary: By studying how child sexual abuse became a national political priority in the UK, it was found that high-profile scandals and reframing survivors as deserving of support contributed to raising public awareness, while advocates developed feasible solutions and political developments opened a policy window. Proponents seeking political priority for addressing CSA should ensure survivors are supported rather than blamed, be prepared with solutions, and cultivate high-level political support.

Summary: Child abuse has serious consequences such as suicide, alcohol addiction, depression, and substance abuse. A study on domestic child abuse in Taiwan analyzed 73 criminal judgments to better understand the issue. The study found that younger children were more likely to be physically abused and that most cases of death were caused by biological parents and cohabiting partners. The perpetrators were often young males with lower education. Male cohabiting partners were identified as a high-risk group for child abuse. Financial and social support, as well as education on disciplinary techniques, are recommended for parents at higher risk.

Summary: This study identified 372 differentially expressed circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of children with asthma. Among them, a circRNA called circS100A11 was highly expressed in monocytes and significantly upregulated in children with asthma. Further experiments demonstrated that circS100A11 promoted M2a macrophage activation by enhancing translation of its host gene, S100A11, and exacerbated lung inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. The study also found that circS100A11 competitively bound to CAPRIN1 to promote S100A11 translation, thereby enhancing M2a macrophage activation.

Summary: Cell-to-cell communication through gap junction channels is essential for coordinating cellular functions in multicellular tissues. This study identified 48 members of the gap junction protein family in Sebastes schlegelii, classifying them into connexin and pannexin types. The connexins were further divided into five subfamilies. The study also revealed the protein structure and interactions of GJs, and showed that GJ proteins were highly expressed in intestinal tissues and regulated after bacterial infection. The findings provide valuable insights for further understanding the function of GJ proteins in S. schlegelii.

Summary: Six IKK genes were identified in turbot, and they were widely expressed in various tissues. After bacterial infection, these genes showed different expression patterns in mucosal tissues, indicating their potential roles in maintaining mucosal barrier integrity. Protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed that most interacting proteins of IKK genes were related to the NF-kappa B signaling pathway. Functional experiments confirmed the involvement of SmIKK alpha/SmIKK alpha 2/SmIKK beta in the activation of NF-kappa B in turbot.

Summary: In this paper, a new run-time monitoring technique is proposed to detect hardware Trojans (HT) on working field-programmable gate array (FPGA), which can enhance the hardware security of IoT devices. The technique places multiple temperature sensors on FPGA and collects their values at each time interval. A predictive model is constructed to estimate the real-time distribution of sensor frequency. If the difference between the predicted value and the real one exceeds a dynamically updated threshold, an HT activation is reported. The experiment results demonstrate that the technique achieves high detection accuracy (>= 98%), low false negative ratio (<= 1.5%), and zero false positive ratio under various FPGA HT benchmarks.

Summary: Spatial transcriptomes were used to study the transcriptomic landscape in the posterior intestine of Sebastes schlegelii following Edwardsiella piscicida infection. A molecular regionalization of the posterior intestine was observed in the healthy condition. After bacterial infection, immune-related genes were predominantly found in the mucosa layer. The expression of regeneration-related genes suggested the constant proliferation of new cells in response to pathogen invasion, while increasing microbiota communities indicated their role in maintaining intestinal integrity and shaping the mucosal immune system.

Summary: This paper focuses on the Largos of the Macau Peninsula and categorizes their main functions as serving the community, facilitating traffic, and promoting religious culture through historical combing and field research. A spatial syntactic theory is applied to establish a model, using three syntactic parameters - synergy, integration, and choice - to interpret the analysis results. Based on the syntactic parameters, the results are divided into four categories, and improvement strategies are proposed for the selected spaces that require enhancements. Taking Macau's Largos as an example, this paper aims to provide a reference for the effective renewal of urban micro-spaces and small public spaces by applying space syntax analysis.
