Clinical, histopathological and dermoscopic features of melanotic macules of the glans penis

A physical examination revealed serpiginous black and brown macules on the glans penis (Fig. 1a). Our differential diagnoses included melanotic macules, melanocytic nevus, pigmented lichen planus, and melanoma. A dermoscopic examination revealed multiple patterns, including a light brown structureless zone in the center with dark brown circles and dots and lines at the periphery (Fig. 1b). The lesion was generally globular and arranged asymmetrically. Sharp whitish lines were seen along the skin grooves, which excluded melanoma. A histopathological examination of a punch biopsy from the dark brown macule showed abundant melanin in basal keratinocytes without increase in melanocytes (Fig. 1c). There was no evidence of malignancy. Based on these features, the diagnosis of melanotic macules of the glans penis was reached.

The effect of short-term strength intervention on muscle activity of shoulder girdle during simulated crawl in elite swimmers

Background: Specific strength intervention can influence muscle activity during swimming performance and can increase pain. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of strength intervention on muscle activity and pain during simulated crawl in elite swimmers. Methods: Fifteen elite Czech swimmers (4 females, 11 males) within the age of 22.8 ± 3.4 years participated in this study. At the baseline, muscle activity and pain evaluation was performed. For the shoulder joint pain assessment, the visual numeric scale (VNS) and the Swimmer's Functional Pain Scale (SFPS) questionnaires were used. Participants underwent surface electromyography (SEMG) examination of 8 evaluated muscles (trunk and upper arm) during simulated a 100 metres crawl race on swimming ergometer (VASA SwimErg, Essex Junction, Vermont, USA). After a 30 minutes long strength intervention, 100 metres crawl SEMG, VNS and SFPS were evaluated again. The smallest important change in muscle activation was set to 10%. Results: The effect of strength intervention on muscle activity was not significant in all muscles, however effect size evaluation showed small effect of intervention in biceps brachii (p = .311, d = 0.33), upper part of trapezius (p = .033, d = 0.46) and serratus anterior (p = .103, d = 0.22) and medium effect in lower part of trapezius (p = .053, d = 0.62). Magnitude-based decision analysis showed a highly increased muscle activity in biceps brachii. Also in serratus anterior muscle activity increased as well. Difference in shoulder joint pain before and after intervention of the dominant upper limb according to the SFPS questionnaire and VNS was not statistically significant. Conclusion: A 30 minutes long strength intervention had a significant effect on the muscle activity of the upper part of m. trapezius. There was no significant effect of the intervention on pain.
Translating for minorities in Wales: a look at translation policies

In many parts of the world, state languages come in contact with a number of regional languages and with many immigrant languages. In such complex, multilingual societies, language policies play an important role. And such language policies must, of necessity, include translation policies, either to integrate or exclude speakers of regional and/or immigrant languages. In the studies that have been made by political philosophers about language policy or by translation scholars about translation itself, translation policy remains somewhat of a blind spot. This paper attempts to address this under-researched area. Specifically, this paper will address translation policy in Wales. In so doing, it will consider the use of translation as a tool for granting access to three important areas of a 1 democratic society: courts, healthcare and local government.
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis associated with coronavirus infection (covid-19)

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Despite its primarily respiratory involvement, an increased propensity for systemic inflammation, neuroinvasion, and thromboembolic events has been reported. This systemic prothrombotic state may predispose to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which is an uncommon cerebrovascular disease with hypercoagulability as one of its important risk factors. We conducted a literature search using the PubMed electronic database and reviewed the published literature for a possible association of CVST with the COVID-19 disease.
Oil Rents and Patronage

Oil rents turn democratic governments into authoritarian governments. They also help to consolidate and sustain authoritarian rule once in place. These are the claims several authors make connecting the rents from oil with the emergence and consolidation of authoritarian rule. One of the most important causal connectors between large oil revenues and authoritarian rule is the way in which governments spend these rents from the oil sector. Some authors claim that rentier governments spend oil money to expand their political machines through patronage and clientelism, to buy off political loyalties, and to enlarge the repressive apparatus to suppress discontent. Several of these scholars argue that rentier theories adjust well to most countries in the Middle East (e.g., Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Iran), as well as to others in Africa (Nigeria, Angola, Algeria, and Libya), Southeast Asia (Indonesia and Malaysia), Latin America (Venezuela, Ecuador, and Mexico), and even Europe (Russia and Azerbaijan). Oildependent governments can also spend revenue from oil booms on public goods, such as public infrastructure or social services, which appeal to a larger portion of citizens and may broaden the support base of their electorate. Norway is the quintessential case, an oil state in which there seems to be no rentier effect, as well as Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. When do oil-dependent governments decide to spend oil rents to expand their political machines through patronage, clientelism, and an enlarged repressive apparatus and when do they decide to provide better public services to their citizens to expand the support base of their electorate? This article analyzes the conditions under which large increases in oil rents produce more patronage and clientelism versus more spending in public services. In opposition to conventional rentier theories, this study argues that patronage spending tends to increase when oil rents decline in contexts of job destruction in the oil sector. Under those circumstances, incumbents use patronage to contain social discontent and secure their core voters. On the contrary, an increase in rents in contexts of job creation in the oil sector tends to increase capital investment. Under
To study outcome in patients of extra articular distal tibia fractures managed with interlocking nail

As surface of tibia is subcutaneous along most of its length and its vascular supply of tibia is perilous compared to any other bone surrounded by heavy muscles? These type of fracture are often associated with compartment syndrome or neuro-vascular injuries. As there is existence of hinge joint at the knee and the ankle that permits no adjustment for rotational deformity after fracture, distinctive care is being required during reduction of these type of fractures to correct such deformity. The problems associated with fixation of distal tibia fractures include local and deep infections, local implant irritation, knee pain, stiffness of ankle, transient peroneal nerve palsy, malalignment and subsequent malunion and non-unionThis study deals with the ability to maintain a mechanically stable reduction in extraarticular distal one third tibia fractures managed with intramedullary nailing.Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based prospective study on the outcome in 20 patients of extra articular distal one-third tibia fractures, who will be admitted in the Department of Orthopaedics of Muzaffarnagar Medical College, Muzaffarnagar over a period of 18 months.Results: Mean age of patients was 39.05 years (18-80). Fracture union was seen radiologically within 3 to 6 months depending upon the pattern of fracture.Conclusion: We conclude that fractures of extraarticular distal one-third tibia with or without associated fractures of fibula managed with closed intramedullary nailing had least number of complications, allows early partial weight bearing and 95% of the patients achieved union by the end of 6 months. Thorough planning and placement of the nail at the center of a wide metaphysis in anteroposterior and lateral view is essential to overcome varus, valgus and posterior tilt.
TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS OF INCREASING WEAR RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY OF DETAILS

Improving the reliability and service life of machines, components, units is an important factor in reducing the cost of restoration, downtime of equipment in repair, reducing the number of spare parts. The introduction of the latest technologies of agricultural production, as well as constant modern improvement, the complexity of agricultural machinery is a natural result of its development. Parts restoration technologies are among the most resource-saving, because compared to the manufacture of new parts costs are reduced by up to 70%. The main source of resource savings is the cost of materials. At longtime use of machines wear of details is followed by decrease in operational indicators, causes deterioration of quality of products. The tractor PTO shaft is subjected to significant static and dynamic loads. The high wear rate is due to constant friction with the grafting disc, gear, inner bearing rings. The production of a new power take-off shaft requires significant costs, so the development of new technological processes of repair and restoration is relevant. It is rational at restoration of the previous sizes and return of a detail of normal mechanical properties. The remanufactured part is consuming its life, like a new part, and may exceed the service life of the new part. With the increase in the equipment of agricultural production with more advanced equipment, the conduct of complex mechanization and increasing the efficiency of the use of equipment, repair production is developing and changing. The development of the field of restoration of worn parts is based on close cooperation of repair production with branch and basic science, and achievement of scientific and technical progress. A promising direction of restoration technology in the organizational plan is the deepening of the method of group restoration technology - the creation of a unified group equipment for the restoration of surfaces. It is established that the majority of details of the restored cars are rejected at the expense of insignificant wear of working surfaces, making no more than 1% of initial weight of details. Experiments and practice show that the repair of agricultural machinery is technically impossible to avoid. Most worn parts have a high residual value: their restoration consumes 20-30 times less metal and materials than the manufacture of new ones, which is economically feasible. Problems are considered: the choice of technological process of restoration, the choice of technological equipment, tools.
Robots can defuse high-intensity conflict situations

This paper investigates the specific scenario of high-intensity confrontations between humans and robots, to understand how robots can defuse the conflict. It focuses on the effectiveness of using five different affective expression modalities as main drivers for defusing the conflict. The aim is to discover any strengths or weaknesses in using each modality to mitigate the hostility that people feel towards a poorly performing robot. The defusing of the situation is accomplished by making the robot better at acknowledging the conflict and by letting it express remorse. To facilitate the tests, we used a custom affective robot in a simulated conflict situation with 105 test participants. The results show that all tested expression modalities can successfully be used to defuse the situation and convey an acknowledgment of the confrontation. The ratings were remarkably similar, but the movement modality was different (ANON p<.05) than the other modalities. The test participants also had similar affective interpretations on how impacted the robot was of the confrontation across all expression modalities. This indicates that defusing a high-intensity interaction may not demand special attention to the expression abilities of the robot, but rather require attention to the abilities of being socially aware of the situation and reacting in accordance with it.
An Efficient Community Detection Method Based on Path Proximity and Local Edge Betweenness Centrality

Centrality is a measure index evaluating node and edge importance, and edge betweenness centrality is the most important among those. The length of shortest path between two nodes shows their relationship. When the path is longer, their relationship is weaker. Based on this idea, this paper think that two nodes have no relationship beyond some range. This paper introduces local edge betweenness centrality within K steps and weight of path length, and puts forward a new centrality evaluation method. Based on this, our method utilizes the core idea of GN algorithm, and puts forward a new community detection algorithm called Dist-K. Its performance and result are compared with other existing methods, as applied to different well-known instances of complex networks. Our method has better modularity, normalized mutual information, adjusted rand index and accuracy, which are widely used to measure community structures.
Thermodynamic Curvature of AdS Black Holes with Dark Energy

In this paper, we study the effect of dark energy on the extended thermodynamic structure and interacting microstructures of black holes in AdS, through an analysis of thermodynamic geometry. Considering various limiting cases of the novel equation of state obtained in charged rotating black holes with quintessence, and taking enthalpy H as the key potential in the extended phase space, we scrutinize the behavior of the Ruppeiner curvature scalar R in the entropy-pressure ( S , P ) -plane (or equivalently in the temperature-volume ( T , V ) -plane). Analysis of R empirically reveals that dark energy parameterized by α, significantly alters the dominant interactions of neutral, charged and slowly rotating black hole microstructures. In the Schwarzschild-AdS case: black holes smaller than a certain size continue to have attractive interactions whereas larger black holes are completely dominated by repulsive interactions which arise to due dark energy. For charged or rotating AdS black holes with quintessence, R can change sign at multiple points depending upon the relation between α and charge q or angular momentum J. In particular, above a threshold value of α, R is never negative at all, suggesting heuristically that the repulsive interactions due to quintessence are long ranged as opposed to the previously known short ranged repulsion in charged AdS black holes. A mean field interaction potential is proposed whose extrema effectively capture the points where the curvature R changes sign.
DermoExpert: Skin lesion classification using a hybrid convolutional neural network through segmentation, transfer learning, and augmentation

Although automated Skin Lesion Classification (SLC) is a crucial integral step in computer-aided diagnosis, it remains a challenging task due to inconsistency in texture, color, indistinguishable boundaries, and shapes. In this article, we propose an automatic and robust framework for the dermoscopic SLC named Dermoscopic Expert (DermoExpert). The DermoExpert consists of a preprocessing, a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (hybrid-CNN), and transfer learning. The proposed hybrid-CNN classifier consists of three distinct feature extractors, with the same input images, which are fused to achieve better-depth feature maps of the corresponding lesion. Those distinct and fused feature maps are classified using the different fully connected layers, which are then ensembled to get a final prediction probability. In the preprocessing, we use lesion segmentation, augmentation, and class rebalancing. For boosting the lesion recognition, we have also employed geometric and intensity-based augmentation as well as the class rebalancing by penalizing the loss of the majority class and adding extra images to the minority classes. Additionally, we leverage the knowledge from a pre-trained model, also known as transfer learning, to build a generic classifier, although small datasets are being used. In the end, we design and implement a web application by deploying the weights of our DermoExpert for automatic lesion recognition. We evaluate our DermoExpert on the ISIC-2016, ISIC-2017, and ISIC-2018 datasets, where our DermoExpert has achieved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.96, 0.95, and 0.97, respectively. The experimental results outperform the recent state-of-the-art by a margin of 10.0 % and 2.0 % respectively for ISIC-2016 and ISIC-2017 datasets in terms of AUC. The DermoExpert also outperforms, in concerning a balanced accuracy, by a margin of 3.0 % for ISIC-2018 dataset. Since our framework can provide better-classification on three different test datasets, even with limited training data, it can lead to better-recognition of melanoma to aid dermatologists. Our source code, and segmented masks, for ISIC-2018 dataset, will be made publicly available for the research community for further improvements.
Arabic validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the 5C scale for assessment of COVID-19 vaccines psychological antecedents

Abstract Background: In the Arab countries, there has not been yet a specific validated questionnaire that can assess the psychological antecedents of COVID-19 vaccine among the general population. This study, therefore, aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the 5C scale into the Arabic language. Methods: The 5C scale was translated into Arabic by two independent bilingual co-authors, and then subsequently translated back into English. After reconciling translation disparities, the final Arabic questionnaire was disseminated into four randomly selected Arabic countries (Egypt, Libya, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia ). Data from 350 Arabic speaking adults (aged [≥]18 years) were included in the final analysis. Convergent, discriminant, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach alpha. Results: Age of participants ranged between 18 to 73 years; 57.14% were females, 37.43% from Egypt, 36.86%, from UAE, and 30% were healthcare workers. The 5 sub-scales of the questionnaire met the criterion of internal consistency (Cronbach alpha [≥]0.7). Convergent validity was identified by the significant inter-item and item-total correlation (P<0.001). Discriminant validity was reported as inter-factor correlation matrix (<0.7). Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the 15 items of the questionnaire could be summarized into five factors. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the hypothesized five-factor model of the 15-item questionnaire was satisfied with adequate psychometric properties and fit with observed data (RMSEA=0.060,GFI=0.924, CFI=0.957, TLI=0.937, SRMR=0.076 & NFI=906). Conclusion: the Arabic version of the 5C scale is a valid and reliable tool to assess the psychological antecedents of COVID-19 vaccine among Arab population.
