1Department of Psychiatry, Akita Prefectural Center for Rehabilitation and Psychiatric Medicine, Daisen City, Akita, 019-2492, Japan; 2Department of Neuropsychiatry, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine, Akita City, Akita, 010-8543, Japan; 3Department of Neuropsychiatry, Sugawara Hospital, Yurihonjo City, Akita, 015-0012, Japan Purpose: A major depressive episode is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in psychiatric inpatients. However, it is unclear whether the severity of depressive symptoms or duration of the current depressive episode is associated with VTE. Further, the VTE prevalence among hospitalized patients with a major depressive episode receiving electroconvulsive therapy is unknown. This retrospective study examined factors associated with VTE among hospitalized patients with a major depressive episode and estimated the prevalence of VTE in such patients who underwent electroconvulsive therapy. Patients and Methods: Patients with a major depressive episode hospitalized in the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Akita University Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were included. Data from the first week of hospitalization were extracted from medical records. VTE was diagnosed based on the findings of computed tomography. To evaluate whether the severity of depressive symptoms or duration of the current depressive episode was associated with VTE, logistic regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for covariates with known VTE risk factors (antidepressants, antipsychotics, and physical comorbidities). Results: We analyzed 133 patients; of these, 14 were diagnosed with asymptomatic VTE. The severity of depressive symptoms (odds ratio: 1.220, 95% confidence interval: 1.081– 1.377, p = 0.001) was significantly associated with VTE. The prevalence of VTE among those receiving electroconvulsive therapy was 35% (7/20). Conclusion: The prevalence of VTE was 35% among patients receiving in-hospital electroconvulsive therapy for a major depressive episode. VTE should be considered for hospitalized patients with severe depressive symptoms and patients receiving in-hospital electroconvulsive therapy for a major depressive episode.
University of Birmingham Homologous muscle contraction during unilateral movement does not show a dominant effect on leg representation of the ipsilateral primary motor cortex

Co-activation of homo- and heterotopic representations in the primary motor cortex (M1) ipsilateral to a unilateral motor task has been observed in neuroimaging studies. Further analysis showed that the ipsilateral M1 is involved in motor execution along with the contralateral M1 in humans. Additionally, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have revealed that the size of the co-activation in the ipsilateral M1 has a muscle-dominant effect in the upper limbs, with a prominent decline of inhibition within the ipsilateral M1 occurring when a homologous muscle contracts. However, the homologous muscle-dominant effect in the ipsilateral M1 is less clear in the lower limbs. The present study investigates the response of corticospinal output and intracortical inhibition in the leg representation of the ipsilateral M1 during a unilateral motor task, with homo- or heterogeneous muscles. We assessed functional changes within the ipsilateral M1 and in corticospinal outputs associated with different contracting muscles in 15 right-handed healthy subjects. Motor tasks were performed with the right-side limb, including movements of the upper and lower limbs. TMS paradigms were measured, consisting of short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and recruitment curves (RCs) of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in the right M1, and responses were recorded from the left rectus femoris (RF) and left tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. TMS results showed that significant declines in SICI and prominent increases in MEPs of the left TA and left RF during unilateral movements. Cortical activations were associated with the muscles contracting during the movements. The present data demonstrate that activation of the ipsilateral M1 on leg representation could be increased during unilateral movement. However, no homologous muscle-dominant effect was evident in the leg muscles. The results may reflect that functional coupling of bilateral leg muscles is a reciprocal movement. Muscle Contraction during Movement Does Not Show a Dominant Effect on Leg
Development of Fermented Prunus Vinegar: Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Activity

The purpose of this study was to examine the chemical properties, antioxidant activities and sensory test of a two-stage fermented vinegar that was produced from three Prunus species, namely Prunus persica L. , Prunus domestica L. , and Prunus mume L. Alcoholic fermentation was produced using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and acetous fermentation was achieved using Acetobacter pasteurianus. Samples taken during the alcoholic fermentation showed a continuous decrease in total soluble solids and an increase in alcohol content at the end of fermentation process. The result showed that the wine produced from Prunus persica L. exhibited the highest content of alcohol (13.810.04 %, w/v) and exhibited the highest content of antioxidant activity (45.21±0.06 mg/ml) . In the acetous fermentation, alcohol content dropped continuously and acetic acid content elevated at the end of the process. The highest content of acetic acid (4.04 ± 0. 19 % , v/v) was detected in the vinegar produced from Prunus domestica L. , while the vinegar produced from Prunus persica L. exhibited the highest content of antioxidant activity (49.08 ± 8.49 mg/ml). The 9-point hedonic scale showed that the vinegar produced from Prunus mume L. exhibited the highest overall acceptability (7.83±1.02), a result that indicated that consumers rated it at the very pleasant level on the preference scale.

Smart Surveillance for Smart City

—In recent years, video surveillance technology has become pervasive in every sphere. The manual generation of the description of videos requires huge time and labor and sometimes important aspects of videos are overlooked in human summaries. The present work is an attempt towards the automated description generation of Surveillance Video. The proposed method consists of the extraction of key-frames from a surveillance video, object detection in the key-frames, natural language (English) description generation of the key-frames and ﬁnally summarizing the descriptions. The key-frames are identiﬁed based on a mean square error ratio. Object detection in a key-frame is performed using region convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) . We used Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) to generate captions from frames. Translation Error Rate (TER) is used to identify and remove duplicate event descriptions. Tf-idf is used to rank the event descriptions generated from a video and the top-ranked description is returned as the system generated a summary of the video. We evaluated the MSVD data set to validate our proposed approach and the system produces a Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) score of 46.83.
PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF INFLUENZA VIRUS COMPONENTS OBTAINED AFTER ETHER TREATMENT* BY FRED

Since Hoyle first demonstrated that influenza virus could be split with ether, a number of publications have appeared concerning the properties of the subunits derived thereby (1-13). Nevertheless, at present, knowledge of the morphologic and biologic properties of such split products is still inadequate; in part because the biologic and serologic investigations reported were, in general, not carried out with fractions of well defined physical properties. Meanwhile, Sch~fer and colleagues have extensively studied the subunlts of another agent of the myxovirus group, i.e. the virus of fowl plague, and by using a modification of Hoyle's method have established the following information. Fowl plague virus can be degraded with ether to yield two distinct components. The smallest, designated originally as g antigen, but herein after referred to as internal s antigen, is an RNA-containing subunit which basically appears to be a small spherical particle about 10 to 15 m/z in diameter. In preparations of internal s antigen, elongated filaments are commonly found composed apparently of 2 to 6 such particles. In the course of these investigations, it was shown that internal s antigen derived from fowl plague virus exhibited by complement fixation a close serologic relationship to suspensions of internal s antigen obtained from the FM1 strain of influenza A ~. The large subunit, designated hemagglutinin since it causes hemagglutination, is a spherical particle with a diameter of about 30 m#. It contains carbohydrate and protein, and carries the receptor-destroying enzymatic activity of that virus. Further, it appears to contain the essential antigens needed to confer protection by vaccination (14-18).
Brief Report

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (SPB) is characterized by localized areas of bone destruction by monoclonal plasma cells in the absence of clinical, laboratory, and radiologic features of multiple myeloma (MM). Local irradiation remains the treatment of choice. United Kingdom national guidelines recommend doses of 40 to 50 Gy depending on tumor size, with a 2-cm margin, because this provides excellent local control. A significant proportion of patients will however progress with new lesions outside the irradiation field or, more typically, with generalized myeloma. The overall incidence of progression is 37% to 72%, with median reported times to progression (TTP) of 2 years or less. We hypothesized that progression in SPB might occur as a result of occult disease outside of the irradiation field. To further evaluate this, we usedmultiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) to assess staging bone marrow (BM) samples for the presence of occult disease and determine its impact on outcome.
Associationsbetweenmaternal andenvironmental exposures on atopic disease in the offspring ofmotherswith asthma

Correspondence Zarqa Ali, Department of Dermatology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen 2400, Denmark. Email: zarqa_ali@hotmail.com Abstract Background and Objective: Available data on the impact of perinatal and environmental factors on atopic diseases in the offspring are sparse and conflicting. We, therefore, investigated the impact of these factors on the risk of atopic diseases in the offspring of women with asthma. Methods: Pregnant women referred to give birth at Copenhagen University Hospital‐Hvidovre, Denmark, have since 2007 been invited to participate in the Management of Asthma during Pregnancy program. Women with diagnosed asthma, currently prescribed asthma medication, first visit to the respiratory out‐patient clinic within the first 18 weeks of pregnancy that completed an online questionnaire about atopic diseases in their child were included in the current study. Results: Five hundred and seventy‐one pregnancies were included. Among the off‐spring, 113 children (21%) had doctor‐diagnosed asthma, 178 (31%) atopic dermatitis (AD), and 55 (32%) both AD and doctor‐diagnosed asthma. AD in the offspring was associated with having a dog at home (odds ratio [OR], 2.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], [1.40–4.67], p= .002), whereas having a cat at home was associated with a higher risk of asthma in the offspring (OR, 2.16; 95% CI, [1.14–4.11], p= .02). The associations remained significant after adjusting for maternal age, smoking status, allergy, treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, forced expiratory volume in 1 s less than 80% predicted, uncontrolled asthma, and history of pre‐pregnancy asthma exacerbations. No association was found between gestational weight gain (GWG) in first trimester and total GWG and atopic disease in the offspring. Conclusion: Having pets at home is associated with AD and asthma in the offspring of mothers with asthma.

Bassett, John M. , and Clifford Hanson. Prevention of hypoinsulinemia modifies catecholamine effects in fetal sheep. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 278: R1171–R1181, 2000. —Increased epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE) production plays an important role in fetal adaptation to reduced oxygen and/or nutrient availability, inhibiting insulin secretion and slowing growth to support more essential processes. To assess the importance of hypoinsulinemia for the efficacy of catecholamines, normoinsulinemia was restored by intravenous insulin infusion (0.18 mU·kg21 ·min21) during prolonged infusion of either Epi (0.25–0.35 μg·kg21 ·min21 for 12 days, n 5 7) or NE (0.5–0.7 μg·kg21 ·min21 for 7 days, n 5 6) into normoxemic fetuses in twin-pregnant ewes, from 125–127 days of gestation. Insulin infusion for 8 days during Epi infusion or for 4 days during NE infusion decreased arterial blood pressure, O2 content, and plasma glucose, but increased heart rate significantly (all P ,0.05), despite continuation of Epi or NE infusion. Cessation of insulin infusion reversed these changes. Estimated growth of fetuses infused with insulin during Epi or NE infusion (55 6 13.9 and 83 6 15.2 g/day) did not differ significantly from that of untreated controls (72 6 15.4 g/day, n 5 6). Growth of selected muscles and hindlimb bones was not altered either. Restoration of normoinsulinemia evidently counteracts the redistribution of metabolic activity and decreased anabolism brought about by Epi or NE in the fetus. Inhibition of insulin secretion by Epi and NE, therefore, appears essential for the efficacy of catecholamine action in the fetus.

Supply chain Management System’s role in demands-resources model to rank factors influencing block model

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of imbalance between Supply Chain Management demands of jobs and available resources (job demand resource model) along-with critical role of professional identity on open innovation in private industrial sector. To determine the stated impact, mediating role of the use of technology has been taken into account. Using the Fuzzy Delphi method, the factors that can limit open innovation were identified, the quantitative (questionnaire survey) design was used to gather data from 260 employees in industrial sector. The structural equation model was used to analyze the data. Our findings reveal positive impact of professional identity and feed-back on open innovation and negative impact of time pressure, workload and work-family imbalance on open innovation.The results highlight some important internal and external factors in creating an organizational climate which is inducive to open innovation. We concluded that only reliance on technology for innovation does not pay if these important factors are avoided during human technology interaction. The proposed value of the study helped in highlighting the growth industrial sector in recent times, especially in southern Iraq. It is noted that did not consider the behavioral factors of this sector, specifically, the controversy related to the link between work, technology and innovation. Thus, this work will be a guide for managers in this growing sector.
Comparison of one repetition maximum performance across three weightlifting overhead pressing exercises and sport groups

Objective: This study aimed to (I) compare the one repetition maximum (1RM) 5 performance between the push press (PP), push jerk (PJ) and split jerk (SJ), and (II) 6 explore these differences between weightlifters, CrossFit ® athletes and a mixed group of 7 athletes. Method: Forty-six resistance trained male (age: 28.8 ± 6.4 years; height: 180.0 8 ± 6.0 cm; body mass: 84.1 ± 10.2 kg; weightlifting training experience: 3.64 ± 3.14 years) 9 participated in this study. The 1RM performance of the PP, PJ and SJ were assessed 10 during the same session in a sequential order (i.e. combined 1RM assessment method). 11 Thirty-six participants were re-tested to determine between-session reliability of the 1RM 12 values. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and associated 95% confidence 13 intervals showed a high between-session reliability for the PP (ICC = 0.98 [0.95-0.99]), 14 PJ (ICC = 0.99 [0.98-1.00]) and SJ (ICC = 0.99 [0.98-1.00]). There was a significant main 15 effect of exercise (  2 = 0.662) and exercise x group interaction (  2 = 0.066) on the 1RM 16 performance (p<0.0001), while the main effect of group did not reach statistical 17 significance (p=0.072). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that the weightlifting 18 overhead pressing derivatives impact the 1RM performance. In addition, the interaction 19 of exercise and sport group was caused by the higher differences in the 1RM performance 20 between-exercises for weightlifters compared to CrossFit ® and a mixed group of athletes. 21 Therefore, strength and conditioning professionals should be aware that the differences 22 in 1RM performance between weightlifting overhead pressing derivatives may be 23 affected by the
Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Volume information in Nikkei and TOPIX futures transactions Volume information in Nikkei and TOPIX futures transactions

According to the Kyle (1985) model of informed trading, information in trade size is likely to effect a permanent price impact, as opposed to bid-ask bounce, which mainly captures transitory price ﬂuctuation. However, two prominent structural models in the literature do not include trade size in their framework. In this paper, we present a nesting relationship of major structural models and formulate a generalized model that includes all relevant trade variables. A new measure to quantify the amount of information in the order ﬂow is proposed. Using this price impact measure, our empirical analysis shows that it is indeed the “surprise” in trade size that contributes signiﬁcantly in reﬂecting the price change of Nikkei and TOPIX futures.
First-Trimester Prediction of Preeclampsia in Low-Risk Nulliparous Women

Objective—To identify clinical characteristics and biochemical markers in first-trimester samples that would possibly predict the subsequent development of preeclampsia. Methods—We conducted a multicenter observational study in 2,434 low-risk nulliparous women to identify biomarkers that possibly predict preeclampsia. Clinical history, complete blood count, and biochemical markers were assessed in the first trimester. The trophoblast and angiogenesis markers ADAM-12 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease 12), pregnancy-associated plasma proteinA (PAPP-A), PP13, placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, and endoglin were measured in a case-control subset of 174 women with preeclampsia and 509 controls. Results—Univariable analysis revealed maternal age, race, marital status, years of education, source of medical payment, prenatal caregiver, body mass index (BMI), and systolic blood pressure at enrollment were significantly associated with preeclampsia. Mean platelet volume was greater at enrollment in women who later developed preeclampsia (median 9.4 vs 9.0fl, p=0.02).

The optimal multivariable model included African American race, systolic blood pressure, BMI, education level, ADAM-12, PAPP-A and PlGF, and yielded an area under the curve of 0.73 (95% CI 0.69–0.77) and a sensitivity of 46.1% (95% CI 38.3–54.0) for 80% specificity. Conclusion—A multivariable analysis of clinical data and biochemical markers in the first trimester did not identify a model that had clinical utility for predicting preeclampsia in a low-risk nulliparous population.
Fault Detection using NLMS Adaptive Filtering for a Wastewater Treatment Process

In this paper, a method based on adaptive filtering is proposed for actuator, sensor and toxicity faults detection in a biological wastewater treatment process. Improving water quality in such treatment plants is an important and growing problem so monitoring performance and conditions, optimization and fault diagnosis for biotechnological processes are as important as fault detection. Such detection is performed here using state-parameter estimation where the detection algorithm compares the outputs of an analytical model with those estimated by the normalized least mean square adaptive filter in order to calculate the residual value for each output of the process. Numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. Keywordswastewater treatment process; adaptive Kalman filter; fault detection; process diagnosis.
