Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Correlation Coefficients between Nomophobia and Anxiety, Smartphone Addiction, and Insomnia Symptoms

Nomophobia is an emerging phenomenon in the 21st century. Consequently, it results in various health problems, both physical and psychological. The following systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to establish the relationship between nomophobia with anxiety, smartphone addiction, and insomnia. To identify the relevant studies, we searched through several databases. Out of the 1523 studies identified, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria. After conducting the statistical analysis, the results revealed that anxiety r = 0.31 (95% CI: 0.25 to 0.38), smartphone addiction r = 0.39 (95% CI: 0.04 to 0.75), and insomnia r = 0.56 (95% CI: 0.38 to 0.75) are positively associated with nomophobia. Mobile phone usage has become inevitable, even for individuals who use it to a lesser degree than others, to perform simple tasks, such as communicating with others or for educational purposes. It is crucial to raise awareness about the consequences of overusing these devices, including the physical and psychological complications in both the short and long terms.
METHODOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF DETERMINING THE POSITION OF UAVS EQUIPPED WITH SINGLE-FREQUENCY RECEIVERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF GATHERING DATA ON AVIATION OBSTACLES

Low-altitude photogrammetric studies are often applied in detection of aviation obstacles. The low altitude of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight guarantees high spatial resolution (X, Y) of the obtained data. At the same time, due to high temporal resolution, UAVs have become an appropriate tool for gathering data about such obstacles. In order to ensure the required accuracy of orientation of the photogrammetric block, Ground Control Points (GCPs) are measured. The recently introduced UAV positioning solutions that are based on Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) are known to effectively reduce, or, according to other sources, even completely eliminate the necessity to conduct GCP measurements. However, the RTK method involves multiple limitations that result from the need to ensure continuous communication between the reference station and the rover receiver. The main challenge lies in achieving accurate orientation of the block without the need to conduct time-consuming ground measurements that are connected to signalling and measuring the GCPs. Such solution is required if the SPP code method is applied to designation the position of the UAV. The paper presents a research experiment aimed at improving the accuracy of the determination of the coordinates of UAV for the SPP method, in real time. The algorithm of the SPP method was improved with the use of IGS products.
A Clinical Qualification Protocol Highlights Overlapping Genomic Influences and Neuro-Autonomic Mechanisms in Ehlers–Danlos and Long COVID-19 Syndromes

A substantial fraction of the 15% with double-jointedness or hypermobility have the traditionally ascertained joint-skeletal, cutaneous, and cardiovascular symptoms of connective tissue dysplasia and its particular manifestation as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS). The holistic ascertainment of 120 findings in 1261 EDS patients added neuro-autonomic symptoms like headaches, muscle weakness, brain fog, chronic fatigue, dyspnea, and bowel irregularity to those of arthralgia and skin laxity, 15 of these symptoms shared with those of post-infectious SARS-CoV-2 (long COVID-19). Underlying articulo-autonomic mechanisms guided a clinical qualification protocol that qualified DNA variants in 317 genes as having diagnostic utility for EDS, six of them identical (F2-LIFR-NLRP3-STAT1-T1CAM1-TNFRSF13B) and eighteen similar to those modifying COVID-19 severity/EDS, including ADAMTS13/ADAMTS2-C3/C1R-IKBKG/IKBKAP-PIK3C3/PIK3R1-POLD4/POLG-TMPRSS2/TMPRSS6-WNT3/WNT10A. Also, contributing to EDS and COVID-19 severity were forty and three genes, respectively, impacting mitochondrial functions as well as parts of an overlapping gene network, or entome, that are hypothesized to mediate the cognitive–behavioral, neuro-autonomic, and immune-inflammatory alterations of connective tissue in these conditions. The further characterization of long COVID-19 natural history and genetic predisposition will be necessary before these parallels to EDS can be carefully delineated and translated into therapies.
THE INCIDENCE OF SIMULATOR SICKNESS IN PILOTS AND NON-PILOTS EXPOSED TO SPATIAL DISORIENTATION EVENTS IN THE GYRO-IPT SIMULATOR

Introduction: A previous study conducted in the Gyro-IPT simulator revealed that applied flight scenarios induced minor severity of simulator sickness symptoms in participants. In this study, however, we did not investigate how the severity of symptoms differs between pilots and non-pilots. Therefore, the presented study aimed to examine whether the symptoms of simulator sickness induced in pilots and non-pilots during spatial disorientation (SD) training are significantly different. We were particularly interested in whether the standard flight scenario used in SD training could be a contributing factor in increasing simulator sickness in novice, inexperienced pilots. Method: We used the data from the previous study, where twenty male military pilots (age 31.6 ±8.22) with flight experience (total flight hours 1300 ±1167.4) and 20 non-pilots (age 30.9 ±7.72) were assigned to one of two groups and then exposed to a 1-hour long flight session (12 flight profiles, six involved an SD-conflict) with active control in the Gyro IPT simulator. To measure simulator sickness symptoms, the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) was administered pre and post-simulator exposure. In the presented study, the SSQ scores were analyzed independently for the total SSQ and subscores for nausea, oculomotor, and disorientation, and then were compared between groups. Results: The score of the total severity and for each subscale of SSQ symptoms in the non-pilots‘ group were higher than those in the pilots group, however, these differences were not significant. Despite the observed differences, according to the SSQ scoring criteria the simulator sickness symptoms reported by the participants after exposure to the applied flight scenario were negligible. Conclusion: The flight scenarios used in SD training did not generate significantly different symptoms of simulator sickness between non-pilots and pilots. The low level of severity of simulator sickness symptoms in these two study groups may indicate difficulty in predicting simulator sickness based on SSQ only.
Eventual differentiability of a string with local Kelvin–Voigt damping

In this paper, we study a wave equation with local Kelvin–Voigt damping, which models one-dimensional wave propagation through two segments consisting of an elastic and a viscoelastic medium. Under the assumption that the damping coefficients change smoothly near the interface, we prove that the semigroup corresponding to the system is eventually differentiable.
Determination of the Frequency of Migraine Attacks in Pregnant Women and the Ways They Cope with Headaches: A Cross-Sectional Study

One out of every five women of reproductive age suffers from migraine. Although headaches subside in most women during pregnancy, attacks continue and even worsen in some women. Pregnant women try to relieve pain with medication or non-pharmacological treatment methods. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the incidence of migraine attacks in pregnant women diagnosed with migraine and the ways they cope with headaches. The study included 191 pregnant women who were diagnosed with migraine in the pre-pregnancy period. McNemar analysis was performed to test the relationship between descriptive statistical methods and categorical variables when the data were analyzed. The mean gestational age of the participants was 28.31 ± 8.64 weeks, and their mean age at the onset of migraine was 20.74 ± 5.63 years. The comparison of the duration, frequency, and severity of headaches suffered before and during pregnancy demonstrated that there were statistical differences between them (p < 0.05). The frequency of using methods such as taking painkillers, resting in a dark room, and having cold application and massage to relieve headaches before pregnancy decreased statistically significantly during pregnancy (p < 0.05). As a result, the frequency and severity of migraines decrease during pregnancy. The tendency to resort to pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods used to relieve headaches decreases during pregnancy. Although migraine has many adverse effects on pregnancy, pregnant women do not demand satisfactory information from health professionals about migraine headaches during pregnancy.
Does acupuncture improve the metabolic outcomes of obese/overweight children and adolescents?: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Although increasing evidence has revealed the efficacy of acupuncture in obesity/overweight, actual improvement in metabolism in children and adolescents is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate this correlation. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using multiple databases, including Medline, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wan-fang Data, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials published before February 1, 2023. General information and data for the descriptive and quantitative analyses were extracted. Results: Fifteen randomized controlled trials of 1288 obese/overweight children and teenagers were included. All the trials were conducted in China and South Korea. Regarding quality assessment, no other significant risk of bias was found. The acupuncture groups were more likely to have improved metabolic indicators of obesity/overweight than the control groups, in terms of body mass index (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.69 to −0.21, I2 = 71.4%), body weight (SMD = −0.48, 95% CI: −0.92 to −0.05, I2 = 84.9%), and serum leptin (SMD = −0.34, 95% CI: −0.58 to −0.10, I2 = 91.8%). The subgroup analysis showed that for body mass index, the results were consistent regardless of the intervention duration, body acupuncture or auricular acupuncture combined with other interventions. Conclusion: Our results suggest that acupuncture is effective in improving metabolic outcomes of obese/overweight children and adolescents. Owing to the limited number of trials included in this study, the results should be interpreted with caution.
Temporally Correlated Compressed Sensing Using Generative Models for Channel Estimation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Bayesian modelling of the channel distribution is a crucial step before channel recovery specially in the underdetermined scenario in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna setups. In complicated dynamic propagation environments such as the ones encountered in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Air to Ground (A2G) channels, Bayesian modelling might not be feasible or the model may not be able to approximate the different aspects of the true distribution well enough. Thus, estimation performance will be affected irrespective of the efficiency of recovery algorithm. To exploit the temporal correlations and imperfections in the real channels in such a scenario, we design a temporally correlated adversarial regulariser using Variational recurrent neural networks (VRNN) and train the framework on simulated channel dataset. The framework can be trained directly with channel samples, thus, allowing channel modelling and estimation without explicit tractable Bayesian models in highly dynamic systems. We then propose a temporally correlated deep compressed sensing algorithm which does not depend on the expressibility of the networks and provide theoretical results for existence and recovery. Numerical experiments demonstrate its effectiveness for channel estimation in A2G channels and show superior channel recovery and improved modelling even for out-of-distribution channels.
Novel model for emptying of a self-pressurised nitrous oxide tank

Nitrous oxide is often used in the space industry, as an oxidiser or monopropellant, mostly in self-pressurised conﬁgurations. It has potential for growth in use due to the recent rising interest in green propellants. At the same time, modelling the behaviour of a self-pressurising nitrous oxide tank is a challenging task, and few accurate numerical models are currently available. Two-phase ﬂow, heat transfer and rapid changes of mass and temperature in the investigated system all increase the diﬃculty of accurately predicting this process. To get a get better understanding of the emptying of a self-pressurised nitrous oxide tank, two models were developed: a phase equilibrium model (single node equilibrium), treating the control volume as a single node in equilibrium state, and a phase interface model, featuring a moving interface between parts of the investigated medium. The single node equilibrium model is a variation of equilibrium model previously described in the literature, while the phase interface model involves a novel approach. The results show that the models are able to capture general trends in the main parameters, such as pressure or temperature. The phase interface model predicts nitrous oxide as a liquid, a two-phase mixture, and vapour in the lower part of the tank, which is reﬂected in the dynamics of changes in pressure and mass ﬂow rate. The models developed for self-pressurisation, while created for predicting nitrous oxide behaviour, could be adapted for other media in conditions near vapour– liquid equilibrium by adding appropriate state equations.
Adolescent mentalizing and childhood emotional abuse: implications for depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder features

Background There is preliminary evidence that childhood emotional abuse (CEA) is a risk factor for adolescent mentalizing difficulties (Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states) and borderline personality features and that Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states mediate the relationship between CEA and adolescent borderline personality features, but these findings need replication. Furthermore, no previous studies have examined the relationship between adolescent mentalizing deficits, anxiety, and depression in the context of CEA. Objectives This study examined the associations between CEA, adolescent borderline personality features, depression and anxiety symptoms and tested a pathway model where Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states mediates the relationships between CEA and adolescent borderline personality features, depression and anxiety symptoms. Method A clinical sample of 94 adolescents completed the Reflective Function Questionnaire for Youth (RFQY) to assess mentalizing, the Childhood Experiences of Care and Abuse Questionnaire (CECA-Q), the Borderline Personality Disorders Features Scale (BPFS-C), and the Beck Youth Inventories for Depression (BDI-Y) and Anxiety (BAI-Y). Results Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states partially mediated the relationship between CEA and borderline traits as well as anxiety. In addition, there was an indirect effect where CEA predicted Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states, which then predicted depression. Discussion The findings are consistent with the mentalizing model of psychopathology and provide new evidence that Uncertainty/Confusion about mental states might be a critical mentalizing deficit that characterizes the associations between CEA and adolescent BPD features and depression and anxiety symptoms. Uncertainty/Confusion may be a transdiagnostic risk factor for adolescent psychological distress and dysfunction. We discuss the clinical implications.
Development of the brief expertise scale for sports coaching

The methods used to assess sports coaching expertise vary considerably between studies. This variability limits the capacity for researchers to compare, contrast and replicate findings across the field. In this article, we describe research aimed at creating a self-report measure of sports coaching expertise. In the following sections, we discuss the core concepts and competencies associated with sports coaching expertise. We then outline the phases of development of the measure and provide the results of the exploratory (study 1) and confirmatory (study 2) analyses. The outcome of this research was the development of a brief 12-item 3-factor self-report measure of sports coaching expertise. The measure achieved a good fit to the data and was best captured by a bifactor S1-1 model with one general expertise factor and three specific factors: (a) experience and engagement, (b) knowledge and (c) skills and attributes. In discussing the outcomes of this research, we provide recommendations for the use of the measure and discuss areas of future refinement.

Spraying with a mixture of cadmium and lead, a concentration of (600+6) mg.kg-1. soil, led to a decrease in yield values and its components, giving the lowest values (4.00, 4.00, 7.80, 12.85, 50.32, 25.52, and 6.57), respectively.
Temporomandibular Disorders among Dental Students in Pakistan: Assessment of Prevalence, Severity, and Associated Factors Based on Questionnaire

Objective To evaluate the prevalence, severity, and associated factors of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) among dental students. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on undergraduate dental students from four dental colleges in Punjab, Pakistan. Fonseca's questionnaire was used to measure the prevalence and severity of the TMD among the study participants. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Results Of 364 dental students, 323 returned the completed questionnaires and the response rate of the study was 88.7%. The study included 52.6% males and 47.4% females. The prevalence of TMD was 66.9% with mild TMD in 40.90%, moderate TMD in 14.6%, and severe TMD in 11.50% of the participants. Psychological stress (29.6%), malocclusion (20%), and hypersensitivity (19.5%) were common among participants. The mean TMD score of the sample was 31.54 ± 24.86 which was significantly higher among participants with no/school-educated mothers (P=0.021) and fathers (P=0.002). The participants with arthritis (72.81 ± 32.19) and malocclusion (59.46 ± 31.09) and those who received orthodontic treatment (53.21 ± 34.21) demonstrated higher TMD. After controlling for other study variables, the participants with arthritis were 4.71 times more likely to have moderate/severe TMD (P=0.042) than those without arthritis. Similarly, the participants with malocclusion had significantly higher odds (OR = 3.57, P=0.029) of having moderate/severe TMD than those without malocclusion. Conclusion This sample of dental students demonstrated a high prevalence and severity of TMD. The participants with arthritis and malocclusion demonstrated higher TMD. The study findings underscore the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and management of TMD among the dental students.

The mediating effect of mood spectrum on the relationship between autistic traits and catatonia spectrum

Background In the recent years, several studies have shown a correlation between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and catatonia. It is also known that both conditions are found to be associated with mood disorders. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between autistic traits and catatonic symptoms, as well as the potential mediating role of mood disorder spectrum in the relationship between them. Methods The total sample of 514 subjects was composed by four diagnostic groups, composed by patients affected by catatonia (CTN), borderline personality disorder (BPD), major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls (HC). Subjects were assessed with the SCID-5-RV, the Adult Autism Subthreshold Spectrum (AdAS Spectrum) and the Catatonia Spectrum (CS) and the Mood Spectrum Self-Report (MOODS-SR). Statistical analyses included Pearson’s coefficient calculation, multiple linear regression, and mediation analysis. Results all the correlations appear to be strongly positive and significant with the strongest coefficient emerging between AdAS Spectrum total score and CS total score (r = 0.762, p < 0.001). The Mediation Analysis showed that AdAS Spectrum total score showed a significant indirect effect on CS total score through MOODS-SR total score (b = 0.168, 95% bootstrapped CI [0.127:0.207]). Conclusion The present study highlights the presence of a mediating role of the mood disorder spectrum in the relationship between autistic traits and the catatonia spectrum.
A cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature predicts the prognosis and immune cell status in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Introduction The incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), one of the most prevalent tumors, is increasing rapidly worldwide. Cuproptosis, as a new copper-dependent cell death form, was proposed recently. However, the prognosis value and immune effects of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLs) have not yet been elucidated in HNSCC. Methods In the current study, the expression pattern, differential profile, clinical correlation, DNA methylation, functional enrichment, univariate prognosis factor, and the immune effects of CRLs were analyzed. A four-CRL signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. Results Results showed that 20 CRLs had significant effects on the stage progression of HNSCC. Sixteen CRLs were tightly correlated with the overall survival (OS) of HNSCC patients. Particularly, lnc-FGF3-4 as a single risk factor was upregulated in HNSCC tissues and negatively impacted the prognosis of HNSCC. DNA methylation probes of cg02278768 (MIR9-3HG), cg07312099 (ASAH1-AS1), and cg16867777 (TIAM1-AS1) were also correlated with the prognosis of HNSCC. The four-CRL signature that included MAP4K3-DT, lnc-TCEA3-1, MIR9-3HG, and CDKN2A-DT had a significantly negative effect on the activation of T cells follicular helper and OS probability of HNSCC. Functional analysis revealed that cell cycle, DNA replication, and p53 signal pathways were enriched. Discussion A novel CRL-related signature has the potential of prognosis prediction in HNSCC. Targeting CRLs may be a promising therapeutic strategy for HNSCC.
