Authors: Valishetti Manoj Kumar  , Zoha Ahmed  , Syed Atiq Ur Rahman
Published: October 2022

Background: Insulin secretion is decreased, and peripheral insulin sensitivity is diminished, resulting in type 2 diabetesmellitus. Diet, oral antihyperglycemic medications, and insulin are all modalities for treatment.Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of probiotics as an add-on treatment to metformin inpatients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Methods: The study participants were randomly allocated to one of two groups, Group A or Group B, using a computergeneratedrandomization chart, with each group consisting of 75 patients. Group A - For 12 weeks, patients in this groupwere administered Tab. Metformin 500 mg twice daily with meals. Group B - For 12 weeks, patients in this group wereadministered Tab. Metformin 500 mg twice daily with meals and Cap. Probiotics 1 capsule twice daily with meals. At theculmination of the second, fourth, eighth, and twelfth weeks, all patients were evaluated. Fasting and postprandial bloodglucose levels were measured at each visit. The HbA1c test was performed at the end of the 12th week.Results: The male predominance was seen with males 57% and females 43% in the group A and the male : female ratiowas 1.34:1. In Group B males were 55% and females were 45%. The male: female ratio was 1.20 : 1. The mean HbA1Cslightly reduced since the start till the end of the study. A total of 37% of the patients experienced minor self-limiting sideeffects in group A as compared to 6.66% of Group – B.Conclusion: In treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus, probiotics as an add-on therapy with metformin was observedto lower fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and HbA1c levels when compared to metformin alone. Interms of effectiveness, probiotics have shown no substantial significant outcomes in combination therapy. However, theprobiotics study group had fewer reported gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with metformin treatment.

Fear memory in humans is consolidated over time independently of sleep
Authors: Pavlov Yuri G. , Pavlova Nadezhda V. , Diekelmann Susanne , Kotchoubey Boris
Published: October 2022

Fear memories can be altered after acquisition by processes, such as fear memory consolidation or fear extinction, even without further exposure to the fear-eliciting stimuli, but factors contributing to these processes are not well understood. Sleep is known to consolidate, strengthen, and change newly acquired declarative and procedural memories. However, evidence on the role of time and sleep in the consolidation of fear memories is inconclusive. We used highly sensitive electrophysiological measures to examine the development of fear-conditioned responses over time and sleep in humans. We assessed event-related brain potentials (ERP) in 18 healthy, young individuals during fear conditioning before and after a 2-hour afternoon nap or a corresponding wake interval in a counterbalanced within-subject design. The procedure involved pairing a neutral tone (CS+) with a highly unpleasant sound. As a control, another neutral tone (CS−) was paired with a neutral sound. Fear responses were examined before the interval during a habituation phase and an acquisition phase as well as after the interval during an extinction phase and a reacquisition phase. Differential fear conditioning during acquisition was evidenced by a more negative slow ERP component (stimulus-preceding negativity) developing before the unconditioned stimulus (loud noise). This differential fear response was even stronger after the interval during reacquisition compared with initial acquisition, but this effect was similarly pronounced after sleep and wakefulness. These findings suggest that fear memories are consolidated over time, with this effect being independent of intervening sleep.
Lernstrategien von Studierenden und Nutzung eines Inverted Classroom-basierten Übungsbetriebs. Eine Untersuchung der Veranstaltung „Analysis für Informatiker“
Authors: Wirth Laura
Published: October 2022

E-Learning-Angebote sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Hochschullehre. Sie werden beispielsweise im Inverted Classroom-Ansatz zur Vor- bzw. Nachbereitung von Lehrveranstaltungen genutzt. Diesen Ansatz verfolgt auch die Lehrinnovation „Inverted Classroom basierter Übungsbetrieb in mathematischen Anfängervorlesungen“ an der Universität Münster. Die eingesetzten E-Learning-Angebote umfassen Videos sowie PDF-Lösungen mit dem Ziel, die Nacharbeitung der Hausaufgaben zu verbessern. Dies kann insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der hohen Abbruchquoten in der Eingangsphase mathematikhaltiger Studiengänge eine wichtige Unterstützungsmaßnahme darstellen. Die Arbeit beforscht diese Lehrinnovation mit einem Fokus auf die Nutzung und Akzeptanz der E-Learning-Angebote. Zusätzlich werden die Lernstrategien der Studierenden einbezogen, da diese für den Erfolg in der Studieneingangsphase als bedeutsam angesehen werden. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit werden daher zunächst Lernstrategien von Studierenden aufgezeigt. Anschließend werden die Nutzung und Akzeptanz von E-Learning-Angeboten betrachtet sowie Konzeptionsentscheidungen der Lehrinnovation begründet. Für den empirischen Teil wurde ein Fragebogen konzipiert, der quantitativ bzw. qualitativ ausgewertet wurde. Zentrales Ergebnis der Auswertung ist die große Akzeptanz der E-Learning-Angebote seitens der Studierenden. Darüber hinaus spielte der Einsatz von Lernstrategien eine Rolle im Hinblick auf die Nutzung und Akzeptanz der E-Learning-Angebote. Der häufigste Grund warum Studierende die E-Learning-Angebote nicht (mehr) nutzten, war der hohe wahrgenommene Arbeitsaufwand. Unterschiede zwischen leistungsschwächeren und -stärkeren Studierenden im Hinblick auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Nutzungshäufigkeit und Klausurnote konnten nicht festgestellt werden. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse im Kontext der Lehrinnovation diskutiert und dazu genutzt, Möglichkeiten zur Optimierung herauszuarbeiten.

The first deep field images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327 reveal a wealth of new lensed images at uncharted infrared wavelengths, with unprecedented depth and resolution. Here we securely identify 14 new sets of multiply imaged galaxies totaling 42 images, adding to the five sets of bright and multiply imaged galaxies already known from Hubble Space Telescope data. We find examples of arcs crossing critical curves, allowing detailed community follow-up, such as JWST spectroscopy for precise redshift determinations, and measurements of the chemical abundances and of the detailed internal gas dynamics of very distant, young galaxies. One such arc contains a pair of compact knots that are magnified by a factor of hundreds, and features a microlensed transient. We also detect an Einstein cross candidate only visible thanks to JWST’s superb resolution. Our parametric lens model is available through the following link (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gwup2lvks0jsqe5/AAC2RRSKce0aX-lIFCc9vhBXa?dl=0) and will be regularly updated using additional spectroscopic redshifts. The model is constrained by 16 of these sets of multiply imaged galaxies, three of which have spectroscopic redshifts, and reproduces the multiple images to better than an rms of 0.″5, allowing for accurate magnification estimates of high-redshift galaxies. The intracluster light extends beyond the cluster members, exhibiting large-scale features that suggest a significant past dynamical disturbance. This work represents a first taste of the enhanced power JWST will have for lensing-related science.

New abundances are derived for the brightest member of 74 Aqr. The profile of the Mg ii line at 4481 Å is composite and clearly shows three components which confirms the classification of 74 Aqr as a triple SB3 system. The derived abundance pattern confirms the HgMn nature of this star. Helium and magnesium are found to be more deficient than in previous studies while phosphorus is less overabundant.
As contribuições da teoria queer à teoria crítica da tecnologia: a tecnologia social e a emancipação LGBT+
Authors: Santos Vieira de Jesus Diego , De Oliveira Santos Vieira de Jesus Henrique
Published: October 2022

O objetivo é identificar as principais contribuições que a teoria queer oferece à teoria crítica da tecnologia a partir da reflexão em torno do conceito de “tecnologia social”. Com base no referencial de autores como Foucault (2005), Butler (2003) e Miskolci (2009), argumenta-se que a teoria queer viabiliza o entendimento de que as tecnologias convencionais foram construções históricas que permitiram não só a reprodução de relações capitalistas de produção que se colocavam como falsamente neutras em relação a gênero e sexualidade e alienavam indivíduos do controle das tecnologias, mas também regulavam os comportamentos desses indivíduos – inclusive o sexual – a fim de garantir a reprodução biológica e social de instituições sociopolíticas que sustentavam o próprio capitalismo. Os resultados sinalizam que a teoria queer também aponta que os regimes de controle de sexualidade continuam a excluir indivíduos LGBT+ mesmo no desenvolvimento de tecnologias sociais, que ainda reproduzem padrões heteronormativos. Conclui-se que, ao permitir que a população LGBT+ tenha consciência dos mecanismos opressores e das formas de violência física e simbólica contra ela viabilizada por todas as formas de tecnologia, a teoria queer pode permitir que as tecnologias sociais atuem de forma a emancipar indivíduos LGBT+ despertando neles a consciência de seus direitos no ambiente de trabalho, desenvolvendo entre eles acordos sociais que reforcem sua solidariedade e se tornando efetivamente inclusivas de todas as diferenças.

Epinephelus rankini Whitley, 1945, a valid species of grouper (Teleostei, Perciformes, Epinephelidae) from Western Australia and southeast Indonesia
Authors: Cao Xiaoying , Wu Haohao , Zhang Haoran , Wu Lina , Ding Shaoxiong
Published: October 2022

The grouper Epinephelus rankini, described from the waters off Western Australia, has long been regarded as a junior synonym of Epinephelus multinotatus. However, the two species are discernible as distinct species on the basis of their morphological characteristics and genetic differences by the holotype material and non-type of specimens.

In this study, Epinephelus rankini is considered as a valid species and re-described based on the examination of the holotype and additional specimens. Epinephelus rankini can be distinguished from the closely-related species E. multinotatus by the following combination of characters: body dark greyish-brown to chocolate with irregular white blotches (vs. body pale brownish-grey with irregular and small white blotches in E. multinotatus), absence of small dark brown spots (vs. numerous small dark brown spots in E. multinotatus). Furthermore, genetic differences between the two species strongly support the validity of both species based on molecular analysis (mtDNA, COI gene). In addition based on the sampling range, E. rankini was observed range from the Abrolhos Islands of Western Australia to south-eastern Indonesia, while E. multinotatus ranges from the Persian Gulf to southern Mozambique.

Published: October 2022

The type of Cycas debaoensis Y.C.Zhong & C.J.Chen (Y.C.Zhong 8762) consists of nine duplicates in PE. Our new investigation of the type collection suggests that the type includes at least two different gatherings which should be considered as syntypes. For nomenclatural purposes, we lectotypify the name Cycas debaoensis with the herbarium sheet PE00047578 and consider other duplicates in PE and GXMI as isolectotypes. The seeds in the capsule (Y.C.Zhong s.n. collected in Oct 1998) are considered as a syntype.
Les enfants de Schreber : l’acte adolescent au temps de la vacuité de l’autre
Authors: Lesourd Serge
Published: October 2022

En repartant des études sur Schreber, l’auteur dégage cette part particulière du rapport paranoïaque à l’Autre et aux autres, l’autre me veut quelque chose, comme structure des rapports interhumains dans le monde actuel organisé par le libéralisme. Ce rapport paranoïaque au semblable construit une modalité de rapport à l’acte qui propose une réalisation totale de la jouissance qui n’est limitée que par l’impuissance. Du coup, le sujet se trouve inscrit dans un rapport au semblable qui est fait de violence face aux empêchements à jouir qu’impose toute vie en société, et les rapports interhumains virent à la violence contre l’autre persécuteur. Les adolescents témoignent, on ne peut mieux, de ce nouveau mode de lien social.

En insistant sur l’interdépendance de choix scientifiques avec les principes culturels ou les convictions politiques des « thermidoriens », le travail législatif sur la réorganisation des écoles vétérinaires constitue une des projections les plus fortes de la pensée politique qui veut enclencher un processus d’amélioration morale et économique fondée non seulement sur une science générale de l’homme mais aussi sur une science républicaine de la nature déclinée dans ces deux dimensions mobilisables : la terre et l’animal.
La formation des fonctionnaires aux finances publiques : quelles évolutions ?
Authors: Le Clainche Michel
Published: October 2022

Une formation aux fondamentaux des finances publiques n’est pas garantie aux fonctionnaires d’encadrement. En effet, les finances publiques, comme tests de connaissances académiques, ont une place de plus en plus réduite dans les concours administratifs et les écoles ne dispensent pas de tels enseignements à tous leurs élèves. Une formation aux finances publiques rénovée, tant dans son contenu que dans ses méthodes, pourrait cependant participer à la transformation du recrutement et de la formation des fonctionnaires.
Vitrectomy-Assisted Excision in the Treatment of Juxtapapillary Retinal Capillary Hemangioma
Authors: Parra M. Margarita , Arias Juan D. , Viteri Eduardo J. , Bolivar Isabel , Vega Laura Y. , Hartnett M. Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

Juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangiomas are sight-threatening hamartomas located on or adjacent to the optic nerve. Nonsurgical approaches including laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy have been shown to be effective to reduce exudation in peripheral hemangiomas. However, in juxtapapillary hemangiomas, the functional outcomes are limited due to associated potential damage of the retinal nerve fiber layer. We present an 18-year-old female patient with von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease who presented with a juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioma associated with a tractional epiretinal membrane (ERM) and secondary macular hole. After vitrectomy-assisted excision of the lesion and inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling around the macular hole, visual acuity and macular anatomy were recovered at 10 months of follow-up.

A Case of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment With an Unpredictable Macular Tear Treated With Autologous Retinal Graft
Authors: Demirel Sibel , Yanık Özge , Batıoğlu Figen , Özmert Emin
Published: October 2022

A 40-year-old male presented with decreased vision following trauma from a stone. The view of the posterior segment was precluded due to cortex material. Ocular ultrasonography detected total retinal detachment. During 25-G pars plana vitrectomy, a large macular tear was observed. Because this finding was not expected, autologous retinal graft was the only possible surgical option to close this macular tear. A retinal graft was taken from the periphery and spread over the macula. At the postoperative period, the retinal graft was in place and integrated with the tear. An autologous retinal graft may be an effective surgical option in the presence of macular tear.

Authors: Richardson Quintin R. , Zhang Youning , Deiner Michael S. , Wang Suling T. , Bhisitkul Jonah M. , Arnold Benjamin F. , Bhisitkul Robert B.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Macular atrophy (MA) contributes to declining vision during prolonged anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) so greater understanding of its incidence, evolution, and impact on visual acuity is merited.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This is a retrospective review of nAMD patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy for ≥ 5 years. Near-infrared reflectance images and vision data were extracted every 6 months. MA lesion areas were measured using ImageJ.

RESULTS:

Vision showed a mean decline of −1.2 letters/year. Eyes with MA showed a greater decrease of −1.6 letters/year compared to eyes without MA (−0.7 letters/year). Cumulative incidence of MA was 38% at 5 years. MA was significantly associated with declining vision, showing a −0.7 letter decrease for every 1 mm
2
increase in lesion size.

CONCLUSION:

Over a 5-year course of nAMD treatment, MA affected most eyes, and MA progression was significantly associated with vision decline.

Preventing Iatrogenic Retinal Breaks in Cutter-Associated Traction from Chronic Vitreous Hemorrhage (CATCH)
Authors: Trese Matthew G. J. , Lee Ramon , Garretson Bruce R. , Mahmoud Tamer H.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To describe an under-recognized complication in the surgical management of dense, nonclearing vitreous hemorrhage, specifically, the development of iatrogenic retinal breaks as a result of cutter-associated traction.

STUDY DESIGN/PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Review of surgical cases with cutter-associated traction from chronic vitreous hemorrhage (CATCH).

RESULTS:

Cutter-associated traction from chronic vitreous hemorrhage is a commonly encountered surgical entity that may result in complications such as iatrogenic retinal breaks, including giant retinal tears. These complications can be minimized or potentially avoided through the use of open sclerotomies or potentially mixed-gauge vitrectomy.

CONCLUSION:

Careful surgical planning in cases of dense or chronic vitreous hemorrhage is required to prevent cutter-associated tractional retinal breaks.

Design of a hybrid high-throughput fused deposition modeling system for circular economy applications
Authors: Kuclourya Tanay , Monroy Roberto , Castillo Miguel , Baca David , Ahmad Rafiq
Published: October 2022

In recent years, recycling of plastics has opened several doors of advancements in the field of additive manufacturing (AM). The process of fused deposition modelling (FDM) has already been utilized for reprocessing waste plastics into filaments and finally printing them into useful products. Yet another concept of extrusion additive manufacturing (EAM) is gaining lots of attention. In this work, a screw assisted system based on EAM is designed and installed alongside a pre-existing FDM system. This system is referred to as the direct FDM (DFDM) system throughout this work. The DFDM system used operates with a 1.75 mm nozzle and has the ability of giving a high throughput. The focus of this work is to use this hybrid system (combination of FDM and DFDM systems) to print both virgin as well as recycled plastics. The scope of this work is to use one technology (either FDM or DFDM) at a time and to use both simultaneously for multi-material printing in future. After several trials of printing and setting up some printing parameters, the proposed system has been able to print with virgin as well as recycled PLA.

Published: October 2022

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a novel and rapidly developing technique in the medical imaging field that is based on generating acoustic waves inside of an object of interest by stimulating non-ionizing laser pulses. This acoustic wave was measured by using a detector on the outside of the object it was then converted into an image of the human body after several inversions. Thus, one of the mathematical problems in PAT is reconstructing the initial function from the solution of the wave equation on the outside of the object. In this study, we consider the fractional wave equation and assume that the point-like detectors are located on the sphere and hyperplane. We demonstrate a way to recover the initial function from the data, namely, the solution of the fractional wave equation, measured on the sphere and hyperplane.

Published: October 2022

It is well-known that mosquito control is one of the effective methods to reduce and prevent the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. In this paper, we formulate a reaction-diffusion impulsive hybrid model incorporating Wolbachia, impulsively spraying of insecticides, spatial heterogeneity, and seasonality to investigate the control of mosquito population. The sufficient conditions for mosquito extinction or successful Wolbachia persistence in a population of natural mosquitoes are derived. More importantly, we give the estimations of the spraying times of insecticides during a period for achieving the mosquito extinction and population replacement in a special case. A global attractivity of the positive periodic solution is analyzed under appropriate conditions. Numerical simulations disclose that spatial heterogeneity and seasonality have significant impacts on the design of mosquitoes control strategies. It is suggested to combine biological control and chemical pulse control under certain situations to reduce the natural mosquitoes. Further, our results reveal that the establishment of a higher level of population replacement depends on the strain type of the Wolbachia and the high initial occupancy of the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes.

In the current scenario, knowledge has become a valuable and indispensable organizational asset for the decision-making process in different types of organizations. Doing Knowledge Management, managing this business asset correctly, is a competitive advantage and an extremely important task. In this context, studies report that although knowledge has become an important asset, many organizations are unaware of or have difficulty managing this asset effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the process of socialization and collaboration among the members of the organization, in order to stimulate the exchange of knowledge and the maintenance of existing knowledge in the organization, given the volatility of these assets. Thus, the objective of this work is to discuss and analyze the results obtained in an Experience Report that consisted the application of a gamification as a tool to support the teaching and learning of the knowledge management assets and process in the context of a Software Quality Laboratory, at a federal public university in Brazil. The data collected during the experiment were analyzed quantitatively. For this, Criteria, Research Questions, Metrics and Indicators were developed that guided this evaluation process in a quantitative way. At the end of the analysis of these data, the effectiveness and efficiency of this gamification proposal was proven in order to stimulate the teaching and learning process of knowledge management in Information Technology (IT).

Published: October 2022

Analyzing the spatial distribution of the employment of college students and developing strategies to improve the quality of their employment are the key to helping college students get employed and retained in the region. However, there are few systematic and comprehensive research results on the employment of college students, and the existing employment quality indicator systems are not objective enough. To this end, this paper analyzes the regional spatial distribution of employment of college students and carries out extended study on employment quality evaluation. Firstly, an analysis model map of the regional spatial distribution of employment of college students was given. Based on the spatial lag model, the regional spatial distribution of employment of college students was preliminarily analyzed, with the influencing factors to the regional spatial distribution of employment of college students as the independent variables, and the regional spatial agglomeration level of employment of college students as the dependent variable. A spatial econometric model for the employment quality of college students was proposed, which introduced spatial effects, and realized the quantitative analysis on the contributions of the influencing factors to the regional spatial distribution of employment of colleges students. Finally, the analysis results were given, and the corresponding employment quality evaluation results were also provided.

Published: October 2022

The treatment of several types of obsessions/compulsions for people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD) can be done using virtual environments (VE). These people experience intrusive, unwanted thoughts that cause anxiety, which trigger intentional repetitive behaviors to decrease their anxiety. The advantage of using a VE to experience and challenge compulsions is that it allows the user to take the risk without taking a real risk as in digital games. This article presents a virtual reality serious game for OCD therapy, which will serve as a tool to expose the patients to stimuli that can trigger OCD symptoms, for example, tidying, cleaning, and checking. The game is more oriented for adolescents and younger adults because OCD usually starts to affect teenagers, accompanying them throughout adulthood, generating a very accentuated degree of disability in all areas of their lives. Despite Covid-19, a small group of specialists did a preliminary evaluation of the game, which has provided promising results on the feasibility of VR interventions for OCD in clinical practice.

Intrusion detection systems were developed to detect any suspicious traffic in the network. Conventional intrusion detection comes with its sets of limitations. The authors aimed to improve anomaly-based intrusion detection using an ensemble approach of machine learning. In this article, CICIDS2017 and CICIDS 2018 datasets have been used for implementing the proposed method. Random forest regressor is used for feature selection. Three machine learning algorithms (i.e., naïve bayes, QDA, and ID3) are selected and combined (ensembled) for their low computational cost. The ensemble algorithm results are compared with the standalone algorithms. With the ensembled method, classification accuracy of 98.3% and 95.1%, with FAR of 2% and 6.9% were achieved on CICIDS 2017 and CICIDS 2018 datasets respectively. Naïve bayes, QDA, and ID3 have classification accuracies of 82%, 84.7%, and 95.8% respectively on CICIDS 2017; 68.3%, 68.4%, and 94.4% respectively on CICIDS 2018; false alarm rates of 54.9%, 55.5%, and 20.6% respectively on CICIDS 2017; and 3.6%, 3.7%, and 7.1% respectively on CICIDS 2018.

In this research work, a novel IIoT attack detection framework is designed by following four major phases: pre-processing, imbalance processing, feature extraction, and attack detection. The attack detection is carried out using the projected ensemble classification framework. The projected ensemble classification framework encapsulates the recurrent neural network, CNN, and optimized bi-directional long short-term memory (BI-LSTM). The RNN and CNN in the ensemble classification framework is trained with the extracted features. The outcome acquired from RNN and CNN is utilized for training the optimized BI-LSTM model. The final outcome regarding the presence/absence of attacks in the industrial IoT is portrayed by the optimized BI-LSTM model. Therefore, the weight of BI-LSTM model is fine-tuned using the newly projected hybrid optimization model referred as cat mouse updated slime mould algorithm (CMUSMA). The projected hybrids the concepts of both the standard slime mould algorithm (SMA) and cat and mouse-based optimizer(CMBO), respectively.
