One intervention has been cochlear implants (CI) for children with severe to profound deafness. Since 2008, Chile has implemented regulations to provide a CI at an early age. However, wide variability exists in factors and expected outcomes without previous national studies. This study aimed to characterise deaf children with CI in Chile and evaluate the impact of CI on speech perception and production, social inclusion, and parental satisfaction. We conducted a prospective study using hospital clinical records and an online questionnaire with 107 deaf children under 15 who had received CIs from 2017 to 2019. We characterised factors and outcomes and investigated the relationship between demographic, audiological, and social determinants of health and outcomes, including communication at home, CAPII, SIR, Geers and Moog Scale, Social Inclusion, and Parental Satisfaction. Our study showed a national profile of deaf children with CI, representing 70% of those implanted from 2017 to 2019. CI beneficiaries lived in more developed boroughs (.54) compared to the national average (.37). Communication and speech perception outcomes varied and were concerning, yet more positive outcomes were presented for social inclusion and parental satisfaction. We found an association between the measured outcomes and children's age, a socio-economic factor, CI use and CI training. This novel national study supports integrating public services close to each beneficiary's borough to improve outcomes with the device. CI use and parental training might be crucial measures during rehabilitation treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":20189,"journal":{"name":"PLoS ONE","volume":"20 3","pages":"e0317238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882099/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143567883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ethiopia, the burden of CKD on DM patients is compounded by a variety of socioeconomic and healthcare-related issues. Despite the increased risk of developing CKD in DM patients, comprehensive studies on the prevalence and associated factors of CKD in this population are rare. To address this gap, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and associated factors of CKD among DM patients in Ethiopia.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out through an investigation of published studies in Ethiopia.

By using a plant factory combined with an LED artificial light environment, the light environment can be effectively controlled to produce high-quality seedlings. This study investigates the growth and energy consumption of tomato seedlings in an artificial light plant factory. The experiment compared tomato seedlings cultivated in the artificial LED light environment of a plant factory with those grown in a semi-enclosed seedling greenhouse. The study meticulously examined the actual growth and development processes of the tomato seedlings, systematically tracking and recording the specific impacts of different cultivation environments on the seedlings' growth and development. Additionally, the experiment followed up on the fruiting conditions of the subsequent tomato plants. The experimental results show that compared to tomato seedlings grown in a greenhouse, those cultivated in the artificial light plant factory grew more slowly before grafting, characterized by slightly lower plant height, relatively smaller leaf area, and slightly thinner stems. However, after grafting, the growth rate of the tomato seedlings in the plant factory significantly accelerated, with increased plant height, leaf area, and stem diameter. On the 16th day after grafting, the cumulative leaf length and width fitting curves for the two cultivation methods coincided. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the electricity consumption during the tomato seedling cultivation process, including that for controlling environmental temperature and humidity and the LED artificial supplemental lighting in the plant factory, was significantly lower. Over the two-month seedling cultivation period, the resource consumption in the greenhouse was 220% and 281% higher than in the plant factory, respectively. Statistical results also showed that the mortality rate of tomato seedlings cultivated in the artificial light plant factory was only 4.3%, much lower than the 6.5% mortality rate in the greenhouse. When the subsequent tomato plants were uniformly transplanted to the greenhouse for cultivation and their fruit weights were measured and recorded, the results indicated no significant difference in the fruit weights of tomatoes grown in the plant factory compared to those grown in the greenhouse. Therefore, experimental evidence confirms that cultivating tomato seedlings in an artificial light plant factory can significantly reduce cultivation costs, increase seedling survival rates, and not affect tomato quality.</p>","PeriodicalId":20189,"journal":{"name":"PLoS ONE","volume":"20 3","pages":"e0314808"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882041/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143567963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study emphasizes the prediction of the potential invasion risk, distribution, and further spread of S. incertulas during current and future climate change scenarios in India and the world. The pest identity was confirmed with morphological taxonomy, and the possible habitat distribution and further spread in future climate scenarios were modelled using the MaxEnt algorithm. The climate niche for S. incertulas was also established by analyzing the correlation between the pest occurrence data of 143 locations in India and seven bioclimatic variables viz., bio01, bio02, bio03, bio05, bio12, bio13, and bio15, were chosen for predicting the distribution of S. incertulas. The model performance was good as it exhibited a strong Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve value of 0.949. Based on the Jackknife test, the Bio 13 (precipitation of the wettest month), exhibited the highest gain value and emerged as the primary abiotic factor exerting influence on the potential habitat distribution of this borer. The study demonstrated that bioclimatic variables annual mean temperature (30 °C), and annual precipitation (10-700 mm) favour its multiplication, infestation, and further spread to new areas. As the anticipated habitat range of S. incertulas is of considerable importance for researchers and other stakeholders involved in plant protection, the data generated here may be useful for researchers, policymakers, and farmers for designing better management strategies to mitigate this pest and curtail its spread to new rice growing areas in a rapidly changing global environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":20189,"journal":{"name":"PLoS ONE","volume":"20 3","pages":"e0310234"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882091/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143567951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
