05). ASE and PEF extraction processes can be used as new technologies to extract high-added-value compounds from fish by-products.On a crowdsourcing platform, in order to cheat for rewards or sabotage the crowdsourcing processes, spam workers may submit numerous erroneous answers to the tasks published by requesters. This type of behavior extremely reduces the completion rate of tasks and the enthusiasm of honest users, which may lead a crowdsourcing platform to a failure. Defending against malicious attacks is an important issue in crowdsourcing, which has been extensively addressed by existing methods, e.g., verification-based defense mechanisms, data analysis solutions, trust-based defense models, and workers' properties matching mechanisms. However, verification-based defense mechanisms will consume a lot of resources, and data analysis solutions cannot motivate workers to provide high-quality services. Trust-based defense models and workers' properties matching mechanisms cannot guarantee the authenticity of information when collusion requesters publish shadow tasks to help malicious workers get more participation opportunities. To defend such collusion attacks in crowdsourcing platforms, we propose a new defense model named TruthTrust. Firstly, we define a complete life cycle system that from users' interaction to workers' recommendation, and separately define the trust value of each worker and the credence of each requester. Secondly, in order to ensure the authenticity of the information, we establish a trust model based on the CRH framework. The calculated truth value and weight are used to define the global properties of workers and requesters. Moreover, we propose a reverse mechanism to improve the resistance under attacks. Finally, extensive experiments demonstrate that TruthTrust significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of effective task completion rate.The associations between maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and low birth weight (LBW, less then 2500 g) remain inconclusive. Therefore, birth weight in a Polish prospective cohort of 912 mothers was investigated depending on the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). The whole cohort and the subgroup of gestational weight gain (GWG) in the range of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations, as well as 'healthy' women (who did not develop diabetes or hypertension in this pregnancy) were investigated. check details Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) of the newborn outcomes (with 95% confidence intervals, CI) for obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) vs. normal BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) were calculated using multiple logistic regression. Risk profiles (in the Lowess method) were presented for BMI values (kg/m2) and threshold BMI values were calculated. (1) In the cohort, LBW affected 6.6% of pregnancies, fetal growth restriction (FGR) 2.3%, and macrosomia 10.6%. (2) The adjusted risk of macrosomia was more than three-fold higher for obesity compared to normal BMI in the whole cohort (AOR = 3.21 (1.69-6.1), p less then 0.001) and the result was maintained in the subgroups. A 17-fold higher adjusted LBW risk for obesity was found (AOR = 17.42 (1.5-202.6), p = 0.022), but only in the normal GWG subgroup. The FGR risk profile was U-shaped in the entire cohort, the risk was more than three times higher for obesity (AOR = 3.12 (1.02-9.54), p = 0.045) and underweight (AOR = 3.84 (1.13-13.0), p = 0.031). (3) The risk profiles showed that the highest BMI values were found to be associated with a higher risk of these three newborn outcomes and the threshold BMI was 23.7 kg/m2 for macrosomia, 26.2 kg/m2 for LBW, and 31.8 kg/m2 for FGR. These results confirm the multidirectional effects of obesity on fetal growth (low birth weight, fetal growth restriction, and macrosomia). The results for LBW were heavily masked by the effects of abnormal gestational weight gain.Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19)-induced effects on deferred diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer (BC) patients are currently not clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic by considering its effects on tumor stage and grade, and to create feasible clinical triage decisions. A retrospective single-center analysis of all patients who underwent diagnostic and surgical procedures due to BC, during January 2019 and December 2020, was performed. Due to COVID-19 lockdowns, significantly fewer (diagnostic and therapeutic) endoscopic procedures were performed in the first 6 months of 2020 compared to 2019 (p = 0.002). In patients with a primary diagnosis of BC, a significant increase of high-grade tumors (p less then 0.001), as well as advanced tumor stages (p = 0.014), were noticed during 2020 in comparison to 2019. On the contrary, patients with recurrent BC undergoing risk-adapted surveillance, depending on previous tumor histology, showed no adverse outcomes regarding tumor stage and grade when comparing the pre COVID-19 era with 2020. Thus, more awareness in clinical urologic practice is mandatory to avoid adverse consequences, with increased rates of advanced and aggressive tumors in patients with primary BC. In recurrent BC, an individual risk stratification in order to avoid worse outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be justified.Structural instability during cycling is an important factor affecting the electrochemical performance of nickel-rich ternary cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. In this work, enhanced structural stability and electrochemical performance of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode materials are achieved by Ga doping. Compared with the pristine electrode, Li[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]0.98Ga0.02O2 electrode exhibits remarkably improved electrochemical performance and thermal safety. At 0.5C rate, the discharge capacity increases from 169.3 mAh g-1 to 177 mAh g-1, and the capacity retention also rises from 82.8% to 89.8% after 50 cycles. In the charged state of 4.3 V, its exothermic temperature increases from 245.13 °C to more than 271.24 °C, and the total exothermic heat decreases from 561.7 to 225.6 J·g-1. Both AC impedance spectroscopy and in situ XRD analysis confirmed that Ga doping can improve the stability of the electrode/electrolyte interface structure and bulk structure during cycling, which helps to improve the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.
