Published: September 2022

Artificial intelligence is being increasingly seen as a useful tool in medicine. Specifically, these technologies have the objective to extract insights from complex datasets that cannot easily be analyzed by conventional statistical methods. While promising results have been obtained for various -omics datasets, radiological images, and histopathologic slides, analysis of videoendoscopic frames still represents a major challenge. In this context, videomics represents a burgeoning field wherein several methods of computer vision are systematically used to organize unstructured data from frames obtained during diagnostic videoendoscopy. Recent studies have focused on five broad tasks with increasing complexity: quality assessment of endoscopic images, classification of pathologic and nonpathologic frames, detection of lesions inside frames, segmentation of pathologic lesions, and in-depth characterization of neoplastic lesions. Herein, we present a broad overview of the field, with a focus on conceptual key points and future perspectives.

Published: September 2022

Postoperative rehabilitation of craniocerebral injury requires a long process and has many complications. In addition, patients with severe craniocerebral injury are usually accompanied by impaired nervous system function, which will affect the patients’ normal life and work in a period of time after surgery. Reasonable rehabilitation nursing plays an active role in restructuring central nervous system function and coordinating muscle and joint activities. Since the rehabilitation of cerebral trauma is a long process, how to ensure the patients to carry out limb and brain function as well as self-care ability and self-care skills according to the rehabilitation exercise plan and intervention measures formulated before discharge has aroused hot debate. This study analyzed the impact of out-of-hospital continuous nursing strategy applied to patients with mild cerebral trauma on their quality of life and self-efficacy level.

Published: September 2022

Background

The rate and volume of lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) surgery performed for patients aged 75 years and older increased in recent years. The purposes of our study were to identify factors associated with postoperative dissatisfaction and evaluate the predictive value of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) for dissatisfaction at 2 years after elective short-segment (one- or two- level) LSF in patients aged 75 and older.

Methods

This was a retrospective study using a prospectively collected database of consecutive patients (aged 75 and older) who underwent elective short-segment transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery for degenerative diseases from June 2018 to May 2020. Preoperative CGA consisting six domains was performed for each patient 1 day before the operative day. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that predict for dissatisfaction with surgical treatment. The primary outcome was patient satisfaction with LSF surgery, as measured by the North American Spine Society (NASS) satisfaction scale. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications, the length of stay, visual analog scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability Index.

Results

A total of 211 patients were available for a follow-up at 2 years and included in our final study cohort with a mean age of 80.0 years. A total of 175 patients (82.9%) were included in the satisfied group, and 36 patients (17.1%) were included in the not dissatisfied group. In the dissatisfied group, there was a higher incidence of postoperative complications (30.6% vs. 14.3%, p = 0.024) and greater VAS scores for lower back (4.3 ± 1.9 vs. 1.3 ± 1.4, p = 0.001) and leg (3.9 ± 2.1 vs. 0.9 ± 1.3, p = 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that patients with greater CCI score [odd ratio (OR) 2.56, 95% CI, 1.12–5.76; p = 0.030 for CCI 1 or 2 and OR 6.20, 95% CI, 1.20–28.69; p = 0.024], and depression (OR 3.34, 95% CI, 1.26–9.20; p = 0.016) were more likely to be dissatisfied compared with patients with the CCI score of 0 and without depression.

Conclusions

Satisfaction after LSF in older patients (aged 75 and older) was similar to that of previously reported younger patients. Preoperative depression and higher CCI scores were independent risk factors for postoperative dissatisfaction two years after LSF surgery. These results help inform decision-making when considering LSF surgery for patients aged 75 and older.
Performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics of methane-diesel dual-fuel engines: A review
Authors: Tripathi Gaurav , Dhar Atul
Published: September 2022

Methane is a popular alternative fuel for internal combustion engines due to its availability in many forms such as methane hydrates, natural gas, biogas, compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas, synthetic natural gas, and pipe natural gas. Methane can be effectively used in existing diesel engines in dual-fuel mode with few modifications. Dual-fuel technology helps bridge existing conventional fuel and alternative gaseous fuel-powered conventional engines. The properties of methane, including its higher calorific value, abundant diffusion, and wider flammability limit make it a suitable fuel for improving the performance of compression ignition engine in dual-fuel mode. Methane-diesel dual-fuel engines are an effective technology for reducing vehicle pollution and partially replacing conventional fuels for transport applications. Therefore, a comprehensive review is needed to document the various pathways for the utilization of methane in dual-fuel engines. This study critically compared the combustion, noise, performance, and emission characteristics of various methane-fueled engines to identify the current challenges and future perspectives for the synergistic use of methane to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines.

Urinary Sediment Microscopy and Correlations with Kidney Biopsy: Red Flags Not To Be Missed
Authors: Navarro David , Fonseca Nuno Moreira , Ferreira Ana Carina , Barata Rui , Góis Mário , Sousa Helena , Nolasco Fernando
Published: September 2022

Key Points

Automatic urine analyzers struggle to identify dysmorphic erythrocytes, renal tubular epithelial cells, lipids, crystals, and casts.

Those particles are identifiable through manual urinary sediment evaluation and are associated with histologic lesions of interest.

Manual urinary sediment evaluation may help to shape the indications for performing a kidney biopsy.

Background

Urinary sediment is a noninvasive laboratory test that can be performed by an automated analyzer or manually by trained personnel. Manual examination remains the diagnostic standard because it excels at differentiating isomorphic from dysmorphic red blood cells and identifying other urinary particles such as renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs), lipids, crystals, and the composition of casts. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of a complete profile of urinary sediment particles and its associations with histologic lesions on kidney biopsy, regardless of diagnosis.

Methods

This was a single-center, observational retrospective study of 131 patients who had contemporary manual urinary sediment evaluation and kidney biopsy. A comprehensive set of urinary particles and histologic lesions were quantified, and their associations were analyzed.

Results

In our samples, we found an elevated frequency of findings suggestive of proliferative kidney disease and a low frequency of particles evoking urologic damage. The association of histologic lesions and urinary particles was explored with a multivariate model. We identified urinary sediment characteristics that independently correlated with the presence of some histologic lesions: urinary lipids with mesangial expansion (OR=2.86; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.3 to 6.3), mesangial hypercellularity (OR=2.44; 95% CI, 1.06 to 5.58), and wire loops and/or hyaline deposits (OR=2.89; 95% CI, 1.13 to 7.73); Urinary renal tubular epithelial cells with endocapillary hypercellularity (OR=3.17; 95% CI, 1.36 to 7.39), neutrophils and/or karyorrhexis (OR=4.51; 95% CI, 1.61 to 12.61), fibrinoid necrosis (OR=4.35; 95% CI, 1.48 to 12.74), cellular/fibrocellular crescents (OR=5.27; 95% CI, 1.95 to 14.26), and acute tubular necrosis (OR=2.31; 95% CI, 1.08 to 4.97).

Conclusions

In a population of patients submitted to kidney biopsy, we found that the presence of some urinary particles (renal tubular epithelial cells, lipids, and dysmorphic erythrocytes), which are seldom reported by automated analyzers, is associated with active proliferative histologic lesions. In this regard, manual urinary sediment evaluation may help to shape the indications for performing a kidney biopsy.

Authors: Chen Lin , Fu Xiaoyu , Ramil Santos , Xu Ming
Published: September 2022

Fuzzy logical control is a robust and effective control method in industrial fields, which renders it applicable to the attitude control of a solar sail. However, it is hard to apply in black-box and time-varying problem as real solar sail attitude control. Considering the lack of a priori knowledge and the unacceptable manual workload in the design of the fuzzy logical controller (FLC), an intelligent FLC designer (IFLCD) is developed by introducing neural network modelling and automatic design method. Besides, IFLCD also supports self-adaption for better control accuracy. By applying the proposed IFLCD in the attitude stabilization of a solar sail with individually controllable elements (SSICE), an effective solution of unmanned, time-varying, and complex system control method is offered without any mathematical model, which also overcomes the difficulties in FLC design Considering the performance degradation, accident, and distance problems faced by spacecraft, IFLCD can help with more practical problems that are hard be solved by traditional control theory.

Authors: Doelling Hellmut H.
Published: September 2022

Variscite (A1PO4 ·2H2 O) is found in Utah in three principal deposits: Clay Canyon, Lucin, and Amatrice Hill. Amatrice Hill, on the east flank of the Stansbury Mountains near Stockton, is the most recently found deposit and the only one mined at present. The mineral occurs as nodules in faulted and brecciated limestones of the Pennsylvanian-Permian Oquirrh Formation. Variscite resembles turquoise in color and is used similarly in jewelry. It is softer, however, and generally not as durable. Larger pieces are used for decorative stone. Three principal types based on pattern and color are recognized: jade, apple blossom, and cobweb. A blue color variant has been called variquoise.

Authors: Kolupayev S.M. , Demchenko V.M. , Cherniak M.I. , Lisova G.V.
Published: September 2022

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases, which has a significant negative impact on the economics of national health care systems around the world. Risk factors for the development of this pathology are trends in nutrition and lifestyle, heredity, concomitant diseases, among which the dominant role belongs to diabetes and obesity. The prevalence of urolithiasis, according to various epidemiological studies, is 1‒20% and has certain geo­graphical features, which are determined by regional climatic and socio-economic factors. The prevalence rate of urolithiasis in European countries is 5‒9%, among which the leading po­si­tions belong to the countries of Eastern Europe, in particular Ukraine. The work presents a ret­rospective analysis of the dynamics of the epidemiological indicators of urolithiasis in the Kharkiv region for the period 2010‒2019. The data from State statistical reports of Health care institutions were used for the analysis. The prevalence and incidence of urolithiasis were studied taking into account gender and age criteria, as well as place of residence. In the statistical analysis, the average value and standard deviation were calculated Process trends were determined by trend modeling (linear approximation). The prevalence of this disease among the adult population over a ten-year period has a tendency to increase among patients of working age. Peculiarities of the gender structure of this indicator were not found. Predominantly higher levels of prevalence of urolithiasis among urban residents were estab­lished. When extrapolating the prevalence rate for the next five years, one should expect an increase in the number of urolithiasis cases among people of working age with a simultaneous decrease in this rate in the older age category.

Keywords: urolithiasis, prevalence, morbidity, gender-age structure.

New Customer Satisfaction Index for the Japanese Market: From Net Promoter Score to Promoter Score Japan
Authors: Kimura Tatsuya
Published: September 2022

Objective - This paper aims to examine the applicability of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) to Japanese consumers. The NPS measures the relationship between customer loyalty and corporate growth as an alternative to the conventional customer satisfaction index because of its simplicity and ease of understanding for managers. However, because of its simplicity, the NPS has been criticized for not considering the culture and consumer characteristics of the various countries in which it is used. In this study, we review Japanese consumers' response styles and examine a more adaptable measurement scale to the Japanese market.
Methodology/Technique - The sales data and customer NPS ratings of four companies in four industries—a cosmetics brand, a fashion e-commerce company, a daily necessities manufacturer, and a credit card company—were collected, and the relationship between them was analyzed to examine the validity of NPS classifications for the Japanese market.
Findings –The study yielded the following results. (1) Customers who give the highest ratings tend to exert a more positive impact on corporate earnings through sales (spending amount). (2) Median spending amount intersects with the recommendation score at around 6. (3) On an ordinal scale from 0 to 10, the recommendation frequency significantly increases at 5. Moreover, this study reveals that the NPS classification of consumers is inconsistent with Japanese customers' actual situation.
Novelty - As an alternative to the Net Promoter Score (NPS), the Promoter Score Japan (PSJ) is proposed to measure customer satisfaction and produce more accurate recommendations in the Japanese market.

A Lorentzian narrow-linewidth demodulation scheme based on a short fiber delayed self-heterodyne technique
Authors: Bai Zhenxu , Zhao Zhongan , Chen Xiaojing , Qi Yaoyao , Ding Jie , Yan Bingzheng , Wang Yulei , Lu Zhiwei , Mildren Richard P
Published: September 2022

We propose a narrow-linewidth demodulation method which utilizes a short-fiber-delayed self-heterodyne structure and coherent envelope spectral properties to restore the Lorentzian line shape of the laser output. The Lorentzian spectrum obtained using our scheme is consistent with that obtained using a traditional long-delay method, and here, the utilization of a short fiber avoids the broadening caused by 1/f noise. Both simulated and experimental results demonstrate that our scheme is effective and accurate. We demonstrate the recovery of a Lorentzian linewidth of 6.0 kHz, while maintaining higher accuracy than that achieved using traditional schemes (31.7 kHz). Our approach provides a feasible means of improving the accuracy and computational efficiency of narrow linewidth measurements.

Authors: Kimura Taisei , Yamakado Ryohei , Oshita Naoaki , Asakura Satoshi , Masuhara Akito
Published: September 2022

Perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) are semiconducting materials in which the surface is passivated by organic ligands and exhibits excellent optical properties. The organic carboxylic acids used as ligands are useful for improving dispersion and other properties, but the effect of their molecular structure on PeNCs is unclear. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the structural differences of the ligands to control the crystal growth of PeNCs. Three types of ligands with different planarity were synthesized, and PeNCs containing 5–7 [PbBr6]4− layers which can be controlled at the monolayer level, were successfully prepared.

A high equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) active phased array antenna is proposed for 5G communication systems at 28 GHz. The numerical design, the measurements of a fabricated prototype and the performance analysis are presented. The antenna design is based on the gapwaveguide technology and consists of 16 × 16 single 45-degree slant-polarized elements. The proposed design employs a low complexity printed circuit board (PCB) structure with only six layers, i.e., a half of existing wideband solutions. The array antenna incorporates up/downconverter integrated circuits (UDCs) and 1 × 4 transceiver beamformer integrated circuits (BFICs). Moreover, a compact and highly efficient transition at the end of each channel of the BFICs has been designed to interconnect the antenna elements with the PCB. The antenna’s frontend loss, which includes the feed line, mismatch, and ohmic losses, is only 1.3 dB. The array covers the scanning range of ±60 degrees in the azimuth plane and ±10◦ in the elevation plane. The S11 < −10 dB frequency bandwidth is from 26.5−29.5 GHz. The maximum EIRP of the antenna is 65.5 dBm at saturation point. The presented design offers a compact, robust and low loss performance solution meeting the high transmission power requirements of 5G applications.
Walk Like Me: Video to Video Action Transfer

We present a novel method for transferring human actions from a source to a target video with improved human motion smoothness and better image quality. Unlike the previous image-to-image pose transfer and synthesis work, which in actuality transfer information from an image to another image, we take consideration of temporal pose variations. Recent methods aiming at video-to-video human motion transfer suffer from the generated image quality. In contrast our proposed Video-to-video Action Transfer GAN (VAT-GAN) has achieved better image quality by employing a cascaded sequence of Action Transfer Blocks (ATB) with multi-resolution structure similarity (MR-SSIM) loss. The addition of MR-SSIM loss has resulted in improved generated image quality compared to the previously used ℓ1 based loss. To ensure temporal human motion smoothness, we make the ATBs aware of temporal pose variations of the target video. The proposed VAT-GAN is evaluated on an existing dataset proposed by Chan et al. [1]  as well as on new test videos downloaded from the internet consisting of unseen persons, actions and poses. The proposed VAT-GAN has achieved better visual and quantitative performance compared to the existing state of the art methods both in terms of image quality and human motion smoothness. The code and the results including synthesized videos will be made publicly available: https://github.com/MehwishG/VAT-GAN. 
Habosított bitumen aszfaltkeverékek kötőanyagaként
Authors: Saleh Ali , Gáspár László

Világszerte törekszenek az energiafelhasználás csökkentésére, ez alól az útépítés sem kivétel. Ezt a célt, egyebek mellett, mérsékelten meleg aszfalt (WMA) gyártásával lehet elérni. Ez utóbbi kötőanyaga a habosított bitumen (foamed bitumen) lehet. Ekkor a keverési és a beépítési hőmérséklet a hagyományos aszfaltkeverékénél 20-40 °C-kal alacsonyabbnak választható. A bitumenhabosítás lényege, hogy a nyomás alatt levő, forró bitument vízzel együtt permetezik a keverőtérbe, ahol a bitumen felhabosodik, az adalékanyag szemcséihez a hagyományos aszfaltkeverékeknél tapasztaltnál hatékonyabban tapad. A cikk ennek a környezetkímélő aszfalgyártási eljárásnak egyes tervezési, technológiai, teljesítményi és ökológiai kérdéseit érinti, amelyeket egy folyó PhD-kutatás során tártak fel.
Földradar (GPR) alapú talajnedvességtartalom-mérési lehetőségek földművek esetén – szakirodalmi áttekintés
Authors: Herceg András
Published: September 2022

A hajlékony pályaszerkezetek korai meghibásodásának és degradációjának egyik fő forrása a víz fokozott jelenléte annak rétegeiben, így a talajnedvesség-tartalom pontos mérése és változásának meghatározása kulcsfontosságú, mivel ezek jelentős hatással vannak a talaj teherbírására és alakváltozási jellemzőire, így befolyásolják a pályaszerkezetek stabilitását, süllyedését, valamint a talajvíz áramlását is. Kiemelt fontosságú a környezeti jellemzők alaposabb vizsgálata az alsóbbrendű, a mezőgazdasági utak, valamint az agro-erdészeti rendszerek kiszolgáló útjainál, illetve az erdők feltáróhálózatánál. Ezeknél az úthálózatoknál az időjárásnak való kitettség erőteljesebben érezteti hatását a vékonyabb pályaszerkezet miatt. A földmű feladata a pályaszerkezet megfelelő alátámasztásának biztosítása, ezért kialakításánál a kedvezőtlen éghajlati és terhelési viszonyok között is kellő stabilitást kell megvalósítani. Következésképpen az egész pályaszerkezet-rendszer elsősorban a földmű szilárdságától függ, és biztosítja a terhelések hatékony elosztását a mélység mentén. A földmű állapotának felmérése és időbeli változásának nyomon követése értékes információkat szolgáltat a pályaszerkezet-hibákról, ezáltal előrejelzést ad a jövőben szükséges útfenntartásról. A talajnedvesség-tartalom változásainak monitorozására a földmű kialakítása gyors, roncsolásmentes módszert igényelhet. A földradar (GPR) egy olyan roncsolásmentes műszer, amellyel a földművek minőségi felmérése, valamint a nedvesség okozta pályaszerkezetkárok értékelése is kivitelezhető. Az eljárás a pályaszerkezet felszínén még nem észlelhető súlyos károk megelőzésére is használható. Jelen cikk célja szakirodalmi áttekintést adni a GPR alapú talajnedvesség-tartalom meghatározás lehetőségeiről, a földművek esetében és a legalaposabban kutatott módszerek részletes bemutatása.

ABSTRACT

 

This study aims to examine the effect of corporate governance and disclosure of corporate social responsibility on the tax aggressiveness of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2018. This study uses 8 sample companies from 38 populations. Tax aggressiveness is proxied using ETR, corporate governance is proxied using independent commissioners, audit committees, and institutional ownership. Corporate social responsibility is measured using CSR disclosure indicators based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. The results of this study indicate that corporate governance that is proxied by using independent commissioners and institutional ownership also corporate social responsibility has an effect on tax aggressiveness, while corporate governance that is proxied using audit committees does not affect tax aggressiveness.

 

Keywords: tax aggressiveness, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility.

Analisa Harmonisa Pada Transformator 3 Fasa
Authors: Irwanto Riandi
Published: September 2022

Gangguan harmonisa yang terjadi pada sistem distribusi tenaga listrik akibat terjadinya distorsi gelombang arus dan tegangan. Distorsi gelombang arus dan tegangan ini disebabkan adanya pembentukan gelombang-gelombang dengan frekuensi kelipatan bulat dari frekuensi fundamentalnya. Gelombang-gelombang ini kemudian menumpang pada gelombang aslinya sehingga terbentuk gelombang cacat yang merupakan jumlah antara gelombang murni sesaat dengan gelombang harmonik. Keberadaan beban non-linier yang terdapat pada jaringan di Gedung A sebagai sebagian penyumbang harmonisa yang terjadi diantaranya electronic ballast, variable frequency, thyristor ac power controllers (TCR), silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), serta adjustable speed drive (ASD) yang terdapat pada unit mesin Drawn Texture Yarn (DTY). Pengukuran dilakukan untuk melihat kandungan harmonisa arus dan tegangan listrik dengan menggunakan alat ukur Power and Harmonic Analyzer Langlois 6830 selama 2 (dua) hari kerja berturut- turut pada jam-jam tertentu. Sebagai perbandingan pengukuran dilakukan perbandingan dengan standar IEEE 519. 1992 sebagai evaluasi terhadap kualitas daya listrik pada jaringan di Gedung A. Hasil data analisis menunjukkan jaringan pada Gedung A besarnya THDv adalah 1,85% masih di bawah 5% yang artinya belum melampaui batas yang ditentukan sesuai standard. Dan besarnya THDi 30,65% sehingga sudah tidak sesuai dengan standard yang ditetapkan

Objective: Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder affecting patients on hemodialysis (HD) and has been associated with impaired Quality of Life (QoL). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression and the relationship between depression, QoL, and demographic factors in HD patients.

Methods: Short form 36 (SF–36) and Beck's depression inventory (BDI) were employed to assess the relationship between depression, QoL and demographics in 50 hemodialysis patients. The relationship between scores of BDI and SF–36, and annual biochemical and demographic data were then evaluated.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 56.4 ±16.4 years and the mean HD duration was 57.11 ±39.09 months. The incidence of depression (BDI>14) was 36%. Age, hemoglobin, ferritin, body mass index (BMI), and Kt/V values were observed to be significantly correlated with the QoL scores (p
