Unsupervised Feature Selection for Histogram-Valued Symbolic Data by Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering
Authors: Ichino Manabu , Umbleja Kadri , Yaguchi Hiroyuki
Published: April 2021

This paper presents an unsupervised feature selection method for multi-dimensional histogram-valued data. We define a multi-role measure, called the compactness, based on the concept size of given objects and/or clusters described by a fixed number of equal probability bin-rectangles. In each step of clustering, we agglomerate objects and/or clusters so as to minimize the compactness for the generated cluster. This means that the compactness plays the role of a similarity measure between objects and/or clusters to be merged. To minimize the compactness is equivalent to maximize the dis-similarity of the generated cluster, i.e., concept, against the whole concept in each step. In this sense, the compactness plays the role of cluster quality. We also show that the average compactness of each feature with respect to objects and/or clusters in several clustering steps is useful as feature effectiveness criterion. Features having small average compactness are mutually covariate, and are able to detect geometrically thin structure embedded in the given multi-dimensional histogram-valued data. We obtain thorough understandings of the given data by the visualization using dendrograms and scatter diagrams with respect to the selected informative features. We illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by using an artificial data set and real histogram-valued data sets.
A review of Application of Integral Atmospheric Jet Dispersion Model to Flammable Hazards – Is Hazard Distance at 0.5 LFL Conservative?
Authors: Tan Felicia , Tam Vincent H Y , Middleton Douglas
Published: April 2021

Integral atmospheric dispersion models are used widely for flammable hazard and its risk analysis. There is a widespread belief that flammable distances from these models are conservative when flammable ranges are calculated using the 0.5 lower flammability limits (LFL) concentration threshold. This is erroneous. This paper traces through the development of these models and the research that led to the Birch Guidance. It shows that the 0.5 LFL is a necessary factor to transform the results of dispersion models designed for environmental assessment to applications to flammable hazard assessment in quiescent conditions. Current applications do not take account of turbulence due to wind, large and small obstructions, etc. A set of simple guidance is given in the paper to manage flammable hazards based on results from atmospheric dispersion models, including topics for future research.

COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory disease that is causing significant global morbidity and mortality. Understanding the impact of a SARS-CoV-2 infection on the host metabolism is still in its infancy but of great importance. Herein, we investigated the metabolic response during viral shedding and post-shedding in an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 ferret model (n=6) challenged with two SARS-CoV-2 isolates. Virological and metabolic analyses were performed on (minimally invasive) collected oral swabs, rectal swabs, and nasal washes. Fragments of SARS-CoV-2 RNA were only found in the nasal wash samples in four of the six ferrets, and in the samples collected 3 to 9 days post-infection (referred to as viral shedding). Central carbon metabolism metabolites were analyzed during viral shedding and post-shedding periods using a dynamic MRM (dMRM) database and method. Subsequent untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics of the same samples were performed using an LC-QToF-MS methodology, building upon the identified differentiated central carbon metabolism metabolites. Multivariate analysis of the acquired data identified 29 significant metabolites and three lipids that were subjected to pathway enrichment and impact analysis. The presence of viral shedding coincided with the challenge dose administered and significant changes in the citric acid cycle, purine metabolism, and pentose phosphate pathways, amongst others, in the host nasal wash samples. An elevated immune response in the host was also observed between the two isolates studied. These results support other reported metabolomic-based findings found in clinical observational studies and indicate the utility of metabolomics applied to ferrets for further COVID-19 research that advances early diagnosis of asymptomatic and mild clinical COVID-19 infections, in addition to assessing the effectiveness of new or re-purposed drug therapies.

Published: April 2021

An image consisting of (m, n) pixels can be seen as a matrix of m × n size. Based on the formula of angles between two subspaces, a pair of angles can be defined between two matrices, by utilizing column spaces and row spaces of the two matrices. The singular values of each matrix can be used to calculate distances. Thus, a distance representation is obtained, and a pair of angles between 2 matrices of the same size.
Predictors of Psychological Stress Occurring After the First Wave of the COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Stady in Poland
Authors: Długosz Piotr
Published: April 2021

The article presents the results of research aimed to identify the predictors of psychological distress among Poles seven months after the occurrence of the first case of COVID-19. In order to gather the research material, the CAWI on-line survey method was applied and carried out within the framework of the Ariadna Research Panel on the sample of 1079 Poles aged 15 and over. The results of the conducted research indicate that Polish society experienced psychological distress as a result of the first wave of the pandemic. According to the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), no mental disorders were observed among 36% of Poles, mild mental disorders were observed among 23% of respondents, average levels of disorders were observed among 18% of respondents, whereas high levels of disorders were observed among 23% of respondents. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of psychological distress. In the first stage, socio-demographic variables explained 20% of the distress variance. In the second stage, the variables measuring social nuisances of the pandemic were introduced, which increased the percentage of the explained stress variance to 33%. In the third stage, the introduced psychological variables increased the percentage of the explained variance to 73%. The main factor which increased stress levels was neuroticism. The conducted analyses have shown that the lack of social, economic and psychological capital significantly increases the susceptibility to distress when a threat to life and health lasts for a prolonged period of time.

Patients diagnosed with unresectable locally advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) usually have poor outcome for its aggressive clinical behaviour. Atezolizumab plus nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-Paclitaxel prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) among patients with unresectable locally advanced TNBC but its use is hampered by the lack of reliable predictors of tumor response. Seventy-seven consecutive patients with unresectable locally advanced TNBC treated with Atezolizumab plus nab-Paclitaxel were studied by blood draws at baseline, 28 days and 56 days after initiation of treatment. Exosomal PD-L1 mRNA in plasma was determined using Bio-Rad QX100 digital droplet PCR system and exoRNeasy kit and objective responses were defined following the RECIST criteria v.1.1. The study evaluates whether PD-L1 mRNA copies per ml in plasma-derived exosomes may predict response to anti-PD-L1 antibodies early in the course of therapy. Our data showed patients with unresectable locally advanced TNBC and higher levels of PD-L1 mRNA expression in plasma-derived exosomes at baseline demonstrated greater response to atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel. Furthermore, the levels of mRNA decreased with successful treatment while the copy number increased in patients experiencing disease progression following atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel. For the first time, our data showed the usefulness of assessment of exosomal PD-L1 as non-invasive real-time biopsy in patients diagnosed with TNBC suggesting exosomal PD-L1 is significantly associated with outcome and response to Atezolizumab plus nab-Paclitaxel.

Authors: Benauli Arkhiadi
Published: April 2021

Soil fertility status describes soil characteristics and soil suitability with the plants to be cultivated. This study aims to identify the variable soil fertility that becomes an obstacle in several villages in the Beringin District. This research was conducted in the villages of Aras Kabu, Kelapa, and Serdang, Beringin District, Deli Serdang Regency. This research is descriptive using the survey method. Sampling of soil in the survey area was carried out sequentially with a purposive random sampling method. The results showed that the total N status in the three villages was classified as low. Where the total N value in Aras Kabu village was 0.13%, Kelapa village 0.12% and Serdang village was 0.21%. Phosphorus in the research field is classified as high. In the village of Aras, the district was 19.57 ppm, Kelapa village 19.27 ppm and Serdang village 13.19 ppm. The K2O value in the study area was also low, where the village of Aras Kabu was only 19.96 mg K2O/100 g, Kelapa village 18.56 mg K2O/100g and Serdang village 25.47 mg K2O/100g. The use of P fertilizers can be reduced as an implication of the status of P nutrients available in high land, while to increase the low levels of N and K nutrients, it can be done by providing organic matter in the form of fertilizer (compost or cage) or returning post-harvest straw to the land.

Historical masonry churches diagnosis supported by an analytic-hierarchy-process-based decision support system
Authors: Sangiorgio Valentino , Martiradonna Silvia , Fatiguso Fabio , Uva Giuseppina
Published: April 2021

The structural and anti-seismic performances of historical masonry churches are related not only to structural damage and masonry quality but also to other criticalities that can jeopardise the connections, wooden elements, and non-structural elements. As such, the technical and scientific communities are interested in the development of fast visual-survey approaches for assessing these issues and for performing exhaustive diagnostics by considering all the parameters affecting the building performance.

In this paper, a new procedure for performing rapid visual surveys and the diagnostics of masonry buildings using a set of condition ratings is proposed. The proposed novel approach includes three synergistically related techniques: i) the analytic hierarchy process method for measuring and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data during a visual survey, ii) a suitable survey form to perform a rapid visual inspection implementable in a decision support system (DSS), and iii) a DSS procedure to provide a powerful computerised tool that would be useful in large-scale data acquisition. Finally, to demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach, the Romanesque masonry church SS. Salvatore in Capurso, Italy,is analysed. A comparison with a standard diagnostic workflow is also presented to validate the procedure and to emphasise the advantages of the novel diagnostics.

 
Characteristics improvement of pressure transfer standard using a silicon resonant sensor
Authors: Yamashita Hideaki , Nagashima Hirokazu , Yamada Hideki
Published: April 2021

In the field of pressure measurement, numerous interlaboratory comparisons are carried out among National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) using a pressure transfer standard to verify the degrees of equivalence. Here, the Yokogawa electric corporation has been producing a series of digital manometers using a silicon resonant sensor developed independently. This sensor demonstrates excellent long-term stability and has thus been adopted as the pressure transfer standard by many NMIs and has been subsequently well received. The pressure transfer standard is known as the resonant silicon gauge (RSG) among NMIs. From December 2016, the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), the Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) institute, and Yokogawa initiated a collaborative research with the aim of improving the characteristics of the RSGs and developing a portable transfer standard using a new silicon resonant sensor. The new RSG was adjusted using a standard device calibrated by either NMIJ or Yokogawa. The measurement values of the standard device were corrected with the calibration results and used as the standard values for adjustment of the new RSG. The linearity of the new RSG adjusted via the proposed method was improved compared with that of a conventional RSG.
Methodological issues of metrological analysis of planned medieval towns and villages
Authors: Kubicka Anna Maria , Legut-Pintal Maria
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we illustrate problems related to the application of two methods used for the reconstruction of the parcellation of medieval towns: modular analysis and the cosine quantogram. We propose the usage of the cosine quantogram, which is rarely used to study urban layout, for the identification of units of measurement in regular medieval towns. Based on two examples from the region of Silesia, Poland, Namyslów and Dzierzoniów, we discuss the usefulness of both methods in the reconstruction of the original measuring system and town layout. For the first time, we have applied these two methods to the study of the layout of a regular village. Despite the limitations, such as the level of precision in the construction of a medieval town’s layout at the time of its foundation, later changes to the division of plots and the known inaccuracy of modern maps, it seems that combining both methods allows the determination of the module used for the planning of the original urban layout. The application of the cosine quantogram can be useful for improving the results of modular analysis. Nevertheless, the results of both methods should be verified against archaeological results and historical research.

Are the “100 of the world’s worst” invasive species also the costliest?
Authors: Cuthbert Ross , Diagne Christophe , Haubrock Phillip J. , Turbelin Anna J , Courchamp Franck
Published: April 2021

Biological invasions are increasing worldwide, damaging ecosystems and socioeconomic sectors. Two decades ago, the “100 of the world’s worst” invasive alien species list was established by the IUCN to improve communications, identifying particularly damaging ‘flagship’ invaders globally (hereafter, worst ). Whilst this list has bolstered invader awareness, whether worst species are especially economically damaging and how they compare to other invaders (hereafter, other ) remain unknown. Here, we quantify invasion costs using the most comprehensive global database compiling them (InvaCost). We compare these costs between worst and other species against sectorial, taxonomic and regional descriptors, and examine temporal cost trends. Only 60 of the 100 worst species had invasion costs considered as highly reliable and actually observed estimates (median: US$ 43 million). On average, these costs were significantly higher than the 463 other invasive species recorded in InvaCost (median: US$ 0.53 million), although some other species had higher costs than most worst species. Damages to the environment from the worst species dominated, whereas other species largely impacted agriculture. Disproportionately highest worst species costs were incurred in North America, whilst costs were more evenly distributed for other species; animal invasions were always costliest. Proportional management expenditures were low for the other species, and surprisingly, over twice as low for the worst species. Temporally, costs increased more for the worst than other taxa; however, management spending has remained very low for both groups. Nonetheless, since 40 species had no robust and/or reported costs, the “true” cost of “some of the world’s worst ” 100 invasive species still remains unknown.
Does Integrated Medical Insurance System (IMIS) Alleviate the Difficulty of Using Cross-Region Health Care for the Migrant Parents in China
Authors: Ma Chao , Huo Shutong , Chen Hao
Published: April 2021

Background: A large number of internal immigrants in the process of urbanization in China is Migrant Parents, the aging group who move to urban area involuntarily to support their family. They are more vulnerable economically and physically than the younger migrants. However, the fragmentation of rural and urban health insurance schemes divided by “hukou” household registration system limit migrant’s access to healthcare services in their resident location. Some provinces have started to consolidate the Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance and the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme as one Integrated Medical Insurance Schemes (IMIS) to reduce the disparity between different schemes and increase the health care utilization of migrants. Results: Using China Migrants Dynamic Survey, we used OLS for regression in models. We found that the migrant parents who are covered by the IMIS are more likely to choose inpatient service and to seek medical treatment in the migrant destination, by improving the convenience of medical expense reimbursement and relieving the economic pressure. Conclusions: The potential mechanisms of our results could be that IMIS alleviates the difficulty of seeking medical care in migrant destinations by improving the convenience of medical expense reimbursement and relieving the economic constrain.
Research on Tool Presetting and Tool Deviation in CNC Lead Screw Grinding Process
Authors: Hu Donghong , Wang Kai , Zhang Ling , Wang Pingjiang , Chen Guang
Published: April 2021

In the process of tool presetting for an CNC lead screw grinding, when A-axis rotating and Z-axis shifting synchronously according to the screw pitch length, L, of the lead screw workpiece, the handwheel corresponding to X-axis and Z-axis, respectively, is operated to align the grinding wheel with the middle of the screw groove. Then, the coordinates of Z-axis, A-axis and X-axis of the current position are recorded, and the coordinates of the grinding start position and grinding end position of the lead screw workpiece are calculated accordingly.However, due to the mutual following error of Z-axis and A-axis in the synchronous movement process, tool deviation typically occurs when the grinding wheel moves from the grinding start position to the grinding end position to grind the lead screw workpiece. More specifically, the grinding wheel slightly deviates from the middle of the screw groove to the left or right of the screw groove.To offset this deviation, the root cause for creating the deviation is analyzed, and a method to correct the tool deviation is proposed: First, the CNC system sends out grinding instructions, according to the requirements of grinding process, to make the A-axis and the Z-axis move synchronously. In the meantime, the CNC system measures and records the current coordinates of A-axis and Z-axis, and calculates the tool deviation caused by the mutual following error between Z-axis and A-axis. As a result the grinding start position and the grinding end position are adjusted in light of the value of tool deviation in the subsequent grinding process, so as to address the tool deviation issue.

Published: April 2021

The recent study aim is to scrutinize the moderating role of natural resources between institutional quality and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 106 developing countries from 1996 to 2017 by using dynamic fixed effect, generalized method of moments (GMM) and system generalized method of moments (system GMM) estimators as well as apply the instrumental fixed effect, the instrumental time fixed effect and instrumental system GMM estimators as robustness. We make use of dynamic models and instrumental system GMM to reduce the result of autocorrelation increasing from misspecification of a model as well as clear the biases from unnecessary data and solve the possible endogeneity issues. The empirical results indicate that financial development, trade, and institutional factors: corruption perception control, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, and voice and accountability play a vital role in CO2 emissions reduction but natural resources along with economic growth are the core factors that cause CO2 emission in developing countries. On the opposing, natural resources boost the indirect impact of institutional quality on CO2 emissions in developing countries.

In the presented work Cu2ZnSnSe4 nanocrystals have been synthesized by the polyol method. The chemical composition, morphological, structural, and microstructural properties of Cu2ZnSnSe4 nanocrystals depending on synthesis temperature and time as well as precursor composition have been thoroughly investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopies, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-Ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy. We compared the properties of nanocrystals synthesized from different precursors containing selenourea or amorphous selenium as a source of selenium and then determined the optimal conditions for nanocrystals synthesis. It was found that the optimal synthesis time for nanocrystals obtained using the first approach was t = (30-45) min, and for the second approach t = 120 min. It was also found that the optimal composition for the synthesis of single-phase Cu2ZnSnSe4 nanocrystals by the second approach is the molar ratio of precursors 2:1.5:1:4 and synthesis temperature T = 280 оС. Cu2ZnSnSe4 nanocrystals synthesized under optimal conditions were used to develop nanoinks for printing solar cell absorbers by 2D and 3D printers.
αA-Crystallin modulates neuroinflammation in the retina via stress-specific inflammatory pathways

Purpose

We have previously demonstrated that αA-crystallin, a molecular chaperone, plays an important intrinsic neuroprotective role during diabetes, by its phosphorylation on residue 148. We also reported that αA-crystallin is highly expressed by glial cells. There is a growing interest in the potential causative role of low-grade inflammation in diabetic retinopathy pathophysiology and retinal Müller glial cells (MGCs) participation in the inflammatory response. MGCs indeed play a central role in retinal homeostasis via secreting various cytokines and other mediators. Hence, this study was carried out to delineate and understand the regulatory function of αA-crystallin in the inflammatory response associated with metabolic stresses.
Methods

Primary MGCs were isolated from Ko-αA-crystallin mice. These primary cells were then transfected with plasmids encoding either wild-type (WT), phosphomimetic (T148D), or non-phosphorylatable mutants (T148A) of αA-crystallin. The cells were exposed to multiple metabolic stress including serum starvation (SS) or high glucose with TNF-alpha (HG + T) before being further evaluated for the expression of inflammatory markers by qPCR. The total protein expression along with subcellular localization of NF-kB & NLRP3 component was assessed by western blot.
Results

Elevated levels of IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, and IL-18 in SS were significantly diminished in MGCs overexpressing WT and further in T148D as compared to EV. The HG + T-induced increase in these inflammatory markers was also dampened by WT and even more significantly by T148D overexpression, whereas T148A was ineffective in either stress. Further analysis revealed that overexpression of WT or the T148D, also lead to a significant reduction of Nlrp3, Asc, and caspase-1 transcript expression in serum-deprived MGCs and nearly abolished the NF-kB induction in HG + T diabetes-like stress. This mechanistic effect was further evaluated at the protein level and confirmed the stress-dependent regulation of NLRP3 and NF-kB by αA-crystallin.
Conclusion

The data gathered in this study demonstrate the central regulatory role of αA-crystallin and its modulation by phosphorylation on T148 in retinal MGCs. For the first time, this study demonstrates that αA-crystallin can dampen the stress-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines through modulation of multiple key inflammatory pathways, therefore, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for modulation of chronic neuroinflammation.

Background: Person-centered nursing is pivotal to the high-quality and safe practice of nursing, and therapeutic communication plays an essential role in this process. Therapeutic communication by healthcare professionals is vital in developing and maintaining constructive relationships with patients. The Global Interprofessional Therapeutic Communication Scale© (GITCS©) measures the therapeutic communication skills of healthcare providers. This scale is useful for assessing the verbal, non-verbal, and culturally sensitive therapeutic communication abilities of healthcare providers in various clinical situations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cross-cultural validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Global Interprofessional Therapeutic Communication Scale© (K-GITCS). Methods: A cross-cultural validation of a psychometric evaluation is conducted in the present study. The instrument was translated into Korean using the original developers’ translation process.A convenience sample of 300 registered nurses with more than one year of experience was recruited from a tertiary hospital. Validity was evaluated through a confirmatory factor analysis, and the instrument was tested for psychometric reliability.Results: The three-factor structure of the K-GITCS was validated. A confirmatory factor analysis of the K-GITCS was conducted, and the results satisfied the statistical criteria with a standardized root mean square residual of 0.06, a non-normed fit index of 0.88, a root mean square error of approximation of 0.07, and a comparative fit index of 0.82. The following factors were correlated: trust and rapport building, power-sharing, and empathy. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.94, indicating good internal consistency.Conclusions: Initial testing with experienced registered nurses in one institution indicated that the K-GITCS© instrument has adequate construct validity and reliability to identify therapeutic communication skills in this population. The K-GITCS can be used to assess registered nurses’ therapeutic communication. Further research using the GITCS is required to promote the communication skills of healthcare providers. Studies testing with nursing students and nurses in other institutions and interprofessional healthcare providers are also necessary. This instrument can offer valuable insights to guide its development and to devise tailored interventions considering the specific demands of registered nurses. It can be used in nursing education and clinical settings for evaluations of therapeutic communication skills.
