rTMS and Suicidality in Adulthood; An Exploratory Open-Labeled Neuromodulative Approach to Battle Suicide

Background: Suicidal attempts are one of the most critical issues with a huge burden on family and health systems all around the world. To decrease the hazardous outcomes of this issue, mental health systems are trying to apply the most effective and safe interventions. In this regard, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS ) as a non-invasive approach could be a proper treatment approach. We investigated the impact of rTMS method on the treatment of the patients with suicidal ideation. For this purpose, the application of rTMS when integrating with Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) data has been assessed.Methods: As an open-labeled study we enrolled 7 adult men who were recently rescued from suicidal attempts and referred to our psychiatric clinic for three consecutive months (2018). The severity of suicidal ideation was measured by the Beck Scale of Suicidal Ideation (SSI) and brain activity via Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA), administered at baseline and the end of the treatment course. Repetitive TMS was delivered to the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (DLPFC) with a ﬁgure-eight solid core coil at 110% motor threshold, 10 Hertz (Hz) and 4 second (s) train duration, (3000 pulses) (total 12 sessions; 36,000 stimuli). Six sessions daily and six sessions within two weeks were scheduled.Results: According to the results of psychiatric re-interview, LORETA, and SSI scores of all patients revealed an impressive and statistically significant decrease in suicidal ideation. No side effects were seen during the treatment course.Conclusions: Scheduled three consecutive weeks rTMS course was significantly effective in remitting acute suicidal ideation in adult men regardless of psychiatric diagnosis. Larger double-blinded studies must be conducted to validate the clinical usage of this safe and non-invasive treatment approach in the area of psychiatry.
Wound infection caused by Neisseria zoodegmatis, a zoonotic pathogen: a case report

The isolation of Neisseria zoodegmatis from a 63-year-old female presenting to the emergency department following a cat bite injury to her right hand is described in this report. N. zoodegmatis , also known as Centers for Disease Control (CDC) group EF-4b, is considered to be a zoonotic pathogen, and is usually associated with dog or cat bites. Despite the potential of this organism to cause serious soft tissue infections, it can be overlooked in routine clinical laboratories due to its slow growth characteristics and when the history of animal bite is not provided to the laboratory. This case highlights the importance of appropriate clinical history provision to the microbiology laboratory to help provide important information about potential pathogens and allow microbiologists to optimize culture and identification methods. The introduction of tools such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) into clinical laboratories allows identification and the interpretation of results to be performed within a few minutes of isolation on proper culture media, as opposed to traditional methods, whose slowness may be problematic, as shown in this case report.
Network Performance Measurement through Machine to Machine Communication in TeleRobotics System

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication devices communicate and exchange information with each other in an independent manner to perform necessary tasks. The machine communicates with another machine over a wireless network. Wireless communication opens up the environment to huge vulnerabilities, making it very easy for hackers to gain access to sensitive information and carry out malicious actions. This paper proposes an M2M communication system through the internet in Tele-Robotics and provides network performance security. Tele-robotic systems are designed for surgery, treatment and diagnostics to be conducted across short or long distances while utilizing wireless communication networks. The systems also provide a low delay and secure communication system for the tele-robotics community and data security. The system can perform tasks autonomously and intelligently, minimizing the burden on medical staff and improving the quality and system performance of patient care. In the medical field, surgeons and patients are located at different places and connected through public networks. So the design of a medical sensor node network with LEACH protocol for secure and reliable communication ensures through the attack and without attack performance. Finally, the simulation results show low delay and reliable secure network transmission.
Comparative analysis of microplastic content in water, sediments, and digestive traces of sea urchin Diadema setosum (Leske, 1778) on Untung Jawa Island and Tidung Island, Seribu Islands, Jakarta

This study aims to compare the abundance and types of microplastics in water, sediments, and digestive tracts of sea urchins Diadema setosum, in Untung Jawa Island and Tidung Island, Seribu Islands. Samples of sea urchins, water, and sediment were taken from 15 different locations based on the location of the biota colony. Samples of the digestive tracts of sea urchins were analyzed by dissolving them at 65% HNO3, water samples (20 l) were filtered with a 300 μm plankton net, and sediment samples (200 g) were dried in the oven first, then each sample was given NaCl to saturate. Each sample (1 ml) is placed in the Sedgwick Rafter Chamber to be examined under a microscope. The results showed that the abundance of microplastic in Untung Jawa Island was higher at 99.88 ± 1.79 particles l−1 in water, 110,737.77 ± 4,197.61 particles Kg−1 particles in sediment, and 2,175.55 ± 584.26 particles Ind−1 in the digestive tract of sea urchins. On Tidung Island microplastic abundance contained in the water amounted to 87.4 ± 9.61 particles l−1, the sediment of 87,626.66 ± 4,957.00 particles Kg−1, and in the digestive tract of sea urchins to 1,786.66 ± 451.17 particles Ind−1.
Research on Key Construction Technology of Building Engineering Under the Background of Big Data

In the era of the construction engineering industry informatization, the collection, storage, and reuse of big construction data is the only way to apply and inform big data in the construction industry. Relying on the reverse logistics management system, modern construction technology can simulate the timeliness of materials, funds, and time limits of the actual construction site according to the logistics reverse engineering principle. Then, reverse the active management status of the internal logistics model of the actual project. It is one of the critical problems for construction engineering informatization to study applying big data and cloud computing technology to solve problems from massive and complicated data or mass data. Since the research on big data and cloud computing technology started late in construction engineering, it is worth studying which aspects of these technologies can be used in the whole life cycle of this field. This paper proposes a structural construction optimization identification method based on IPEM rapid reanalysis. USES the co-solubility of reverse logistics structure construction technology and applied the data mining method to solve many problems such as refined construction management leftover material surplus in the later construction stage. Finally, a construction optimization model of reverse logistics building system based on improved data mining is proposed according to the actual engineering requirements.
Calcium Orthophosphate Bioceramics

Ceramics used for the repair and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-skeletal system, termed bioceramics, can be bioinert, bioresorbable and bioactive, as well as porous for tissue ingrowth. This review is devoted to calcium orthophosphates, which belong to the categories of bioresorbable and bioactive bioceramics. There have been a number of major advances made in this field during the past 30 – 40 years. From initial work on development of bioceramics that were tolerated in the physiological environment, emphasis has now shifted towards the use of bioceramics that interact with bone tissue by forming a direct bond. By structural and compositional control, it is now possible to choose whether the bioceramics of calcium orthophosphates are biologically stable once incorporated within the skeletal structure or whether they are resorbed over time. Current biomedical applications of calcium orthophosphate bioceramics include replacements for hips, knees, teeth, tendons and ligaments, as well as repair for periodontal disease, maxillofacial reconstruction, augmentation and stabilization of the jawbone, spinal fusion and bone fillers after tumor surgery.

Hence the current chapter focuses on the different types of african healing system, traditional healers, traditional practices and modern herbalism and also describes the phytochemical and pharmacological evidences of the traditional african herbs like Acanthus montanus (Acanthaceae), Amaranthus spinosus (Amaranthaceae), Bridelia ferruginea (Euphorbiaceae) etc.
Contrast Enhancement of Digital Images Using an Improved Type-II Fuzzy Set-Based Algorithm

Received: 16 July 2020 Accepted: 23 December 2020 Contrast is a distinctive image feature that tells if it has adequate visual quality or not. On many occasions, images are captured with low-contrast due to inevitable obstacles. Therefore, an improved type-II fuzzy set-based algorithm is developed to enhance the contrast of various color and grayscale images properly while preserving the brightness and providing natural colors. The proposed algorithm utilizes new upper and lower ranges, amended Hamacher t-conorm, and a transform-based gamma correction method to provide the enhanced images. The proposed algorithm is assessed with artificial and real contrast distorted images, compared with twelve specialized methods, and the outcomes are evaluated using four advanced metrics. From the obtained results of experiments and comparisons, the developed algorithm demonstrated the ability to process various color and grayscale images, performed the best among the comparative methods, and scored the best in all four quality evaluation metrics. The findings of this study are significant because the proposed algorithm has low-complexity and can adjust the contrast of different images expeditiously, which enables it to be used with different imaging modalities especially those with limited hardware resources or produce high-resolution images.
Emerging applications of phase change materials: A concise review of recent advances

Phase change materials (PCMs) are used as latent heat thermal energy storage materials. The fields of application for PCMs are broad and diverse. Among these areas are thermal control of electronic components and thermal building regulations. These areas are used as heat and cold storage materials. The low thermal conductivity of PCMs is one of the significant and severe technological problems of PCMs. This paper presents a review of the latest works using PCMs in the thermal management of electronic components, buildings, and heat exchangers. Besides, it provides concise pieces of information on the classification of PCMs, their advantages, disadvantages, and thermal storage systems.
Genetic load has potential in large populations but is realized in small inbred populations

Populations with higher genetic diversity and larger effective sizes have greater evolutionary capacity (i.e., adaptive potential) to respond to ecological stressors. We are interested in how the variation captured in protein‐coding genes fluctuates relative to overall genomic diversity and whether smaller populations suffer greater costs due to their genetic load of deleterious mutations compared with larger populations. We analyzed individual whole‐genome sequences (N = 74) from three different populations of Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae), a small ground‐dwelling bird that is sustainably harvested in some portions of its range but is of conservation concern elsewhere. Our historical demographic results indicate that Montezuma quail populations in the United States exhibit low levels of genomic diversity due in large part to long‐term declines in effective population sizes over nearly a million years. The smaller and more isolated Texas population is significantly more inbred than the large Arizona and the intermediate‐sized New Mexico populations we surveyed. The Texas gene pool has a significantly smaller proportion of strongly deleterious variants segregating in the population compared with the larger Arizona gene pool. Our results demonstrate that even in small populations, highly deleterious mutations are effectively purged and/or lost due to drift. However, we find that in small populations the realized genetic load is elevated because of inbreeding coupled with a higher frequency of slightly deleterious mutations that are manifested in homozygotes. Overall, our study illustrates how population genomics can be used to proactively assess both neutral and functional aspects of contemporary genetic diversity in a conservation framework while simultaneously considering deeper demographic histories.
State of the Art of Monitoring Technologies and Data Processing for Precision Viticulture

Precision viticulture (PV) aims to optimize vineyard management, reducing the use of resources, the environmental impact and maximizing the yield and quality of the production. New technologies as UAVs, satellites, proximal sensors and variable rate machines (VRT) are being developed and used more and more frequently in recent years thanks also to informatics systems able to read, analyze and process a huge number of data in order to give the winegrowers a decision support system (DSS) for making better decisions at the right place and time. This review presents a brief state of the art of precision viticulture technologies, focusing on monitoring tools, i.e., remote/proximal sensing, variable rate machines, robotics, DSS and the wireless sensor network.
Power and conflict in inter‐organisational information systems development

The need for inter‐organisational information systems projects, which are complex undertakings often riddled with poorly understood power struggles and conflicts that hinder project success, has increased in previous decades. Through the lenses of systemic and episodic power, together with an organisational conflict model, this longitudinal, qualitative case study explores the dynamics of power and conflict and their effects in an inter‐organisational information systems development project. This study highlights that the bureaucratic, social and technical setup of the project forms a foundational system from which specific power practices emerge, in this case, the practices of hiding, storytelling and bargaining. The power practices have both restrictive and productive effects on conflict, but the practices cannot easily escape the confines of the foundational system and continue to cause the resurfacing of different manifestations of latent conflict inherent in the system. As a result, both ‘power to’ (systemic power) and ‘power over’ (episodic power) can escalate project conflict, and rational conflict management for gaining ‘win‐win’ resolutions may not be in the stakeholders' interests. Thus, strategies for openly managing political conflicts should be considered.
Automated selection of particle-jet features for data analysis in High Energy Physics experiments

We show that it is possible to reduce the size of a classification problem by automatically ranking the relative importance of available features. Variables are importance-sorted with a decision tree algorithm and correlated ones are removed after ranking. The selected features can be used as input quantities for the classification problem at hand. We tested the method with the case of highly boosted di-jet resonances decaying to two 1-quarks, to be selected against an overwhelming QCD background with a Deep Neural network. We make it explicit the relation between different importance rankings obtained with different algorithms. We also show how the signal-to-background ratio changes, varying the number of features to feed the Neural Network with.
(Z)-5-(3′,4′-Bis(benzyloxy)benzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one

Over the years secondary metabolites have been considered as lead molecules both in their natural form and as templates for medicinal chemistry. Some secondary metabolites such as polyphenols and flavan-3-ols exert beneficial effects after a modification by the microbiota. Synthetic precursors of some of these modified compounds, in turn, carried a γ-alkylidenebutenolide moiety which characterizes a large class of bioactive natural products endowed with a wide range of biological activities. For these reasons stereoselective preparation of γ-alkylidenebutenolide continues to be an important issue for organic chemists. Our objective is to synthetize the novel compound (Z)-5-(3′,4′-bis(benzyloxy)benzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one in a stereocontrolled-one-pot reaction. The product was obtained in good yield. Furthermore, the theoretical investigation of the transition states suggests a new procedure to achieve Z-isomer of β-unsubstituted γ-alkylidenebutenolide.
Direct determination of complex amplitude of arbitrary ultrashort pulses via spectral phase conjugation

Unambiguous determination of the electric field of arbitrary ultrashort pulses is the key for time and frequency standards, attosecond science, and precision spectroscopy. However, a single-step technique that can simultaneously and directly characterize the spectrum, spectral phase, and the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) information of an arbitrary ultrashort pulse remains elusive. This technological roadblock hinders the current field from studying non-repeating single-shot events, since ultrashort laser pulses are often unstable. Here, we introduce a single-step reference-free technique through polarization interfering electric field with phase inverted electric field (PIE-PIE) to directly measure arbitrary ultrashort pulses in single-shot operation without using any retrieval algorithm. PIE-PIE utilizes highly efficient spectral phase conjugation based on four-wave-mixing. The ability to fully determine the spectrum, spectral phase, and CEP of relatively low intensity single-shot pulses will revolutionize ultrafast sciences and enable studies of arbitrary non-repeating ultrafast events.
Integrated Management Systems: their organizational impacts

In the past few decades, many organizations are implementing management systems. The similarities between them allowed the integration of different models. The main purpose of this article was to map and analyse the literature on the impacts of Integrated Management Systems (IMS) on organizational performance. The methodology used followed the guidelines of the Preferred Report Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses – PRISMA, based on a sample of scientific articles extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus data bases. The results revealed important benefits of the IMS (such as improving operational performance, reducing costs, sustainable development, stakeholder satisfaction, reduction of occupational risks, etc.) and a wide willingness to integrate them. The researched systems were the Quality Management System – QMS, the Environmental Management System – EMS, and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System – OHSMS. Many studies have ratified the benefits of the IMS. However, no quantitative research was found in the articles’ sample measuring the proportion of impacts that each of the three management systems offers with the integration amongst them. In this way, future research was evidenced according to the investigation of the gains provided by the systems’ integration and due to the identified gap.
Telomeres and Cancer: Resolving the Paradox

Decades of study on cell cycle regulation have provided great insight into human cellular life span barriers, as well as their dysregulation during tumorigenesis. Telomeres, the extremities of linear chromosomes, perform an essential role in implementing these proliferative boundaries and preventing the propagation of potentially cancerous cells. The tumor-suppressive function of telomeres relies on their ability to initiate DNA damage signaling pathways and downstream cellular events, ranging from cell cycle perturbation to inflammation and cell death. While the tumor-suppressor role of telomeres is undoubtable, recent advances have pointed to telomeres as a major source of many of the genomic aberrations found in both early- and late-stage cancers, including the most recently discovered mutational phenomenon of chromothripsis. Telomere shortening appears as a double-edged sword that can function in opposing directions in carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the dual role of telomeres in cancer and suggests a new perspective to reconcile the paradox of telomeres and their implications in cancer etiology.
Poly(anthraquinonyl imide) as a high capacity organic cathode material for Na-ion batteries

Redox-active organic imides are potential alternatives to transition-metal based cathodes for material-sustainable and environmentally friendly Na-ion batteries; however, their poor cyclability remains a challenge for battery applications. To address this issue, we use a redox-active anthraquinone to link the small carbonyl molecules to obtain a conjugated polymer with multiple redox-active centers. Herein, we synthesize four cathode-active poly(anthraquinonyl imide)s (PAQIs) from pyromellitic dianhydride (or 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride) and 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone (or 1,5-diaminoanthraquinone). The as-prepared PAQI materials exhibit a high reversible capacity of 190 mA h g−1 and a stable cyclability with 93% capacity retention over 150 cycles, suggesting a possible use of these organic cathode materials for high capacity Na-ion batteries.
