Species identification method by a new non-invasive technique in Korean endangered terrestrial snail, Koreanohadra koreana (Castropoda: Mollusca)
Authors: Cha Deokjea , Kim Jin-Young , Kim Kang-San , Kim Young-Joong
Published: May 2023

Koreanohadra koreana (K. koreana) is an endemic species in South Korea that is listed as endangered. While the ecology and phylogenetics of K. koreana have been studied, its morphological similarity to the related species Koreanohadra kurodana (K. kurodana), can make species identification difficult. Furthermore, this has led to confusion when determining essential habitat information for the conservation of K. koreana. To bypass this issue, we have developed a noninvasive species identification method that can genetically differentiate between them. While there are already various noninvasive genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction methods that utilize the mucus from mollusks, they are limited as they require the target species to be physically located. To address this, in this investigation a method of extracting gDNA from the feces of snails was developed. The method utilized a primer set to amplify a cytochrome b fragment from K. koreana but not K. kurodana or other terrestrial snails. The feces of terrestrial snails could thus be used to obtain gDNA to a genetically usable level if collected within 5 days of excretion. This noninvasive species identification method using feces will help to facilitate genetic research without harming the endangered species and if the target species is not physically in the habitat. Moreover, K. koreana and K. kurodana could perhaps be further distinguished, using their habitat information to help facilitate essential conservation measures.

Published: May 2023

Skin scar hyperplasia is a common complication following surgical procedures. We aimed to investigate certain sensitive indicators of hypertrophic scars formation and search potential strategies for reducing scar formation. Therefore, our objective was to collecte nutritional status, blood samples, and scar tissue samples from 123 patients undergoing internal fixation surgery between 2019 and 2022. Patients were classified into the hypertrophic scar (HS) group (n=33) and the non-hypertrophic scar (NHS) group (n=90) based on the degree of skin scar hyperplasia one year after surgery. Preoperative inflammatory factor (CRP, white blood cell, lymphocyte%, neutrophil%, monocyte%, IL-5, IL-6, IL-12p70, INF-γ) levels and nutritional status (ideal body weight (%), weight loss, lymphocyte, blood albumin, transferrin, pre-albumin) were measured by the blood test. RNA sequencing was used to test the tissue samples to explore related signaling pathways involving hypertrophic scars formation. In this study, we demonstrated the higher pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (CRP, neutrophil%, monocyte%, and IL-12p70)and worse nutritional status（ideal body weight, Lymphocyte, and Blood Albumin） occur in the HS group, with statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). In addition, Differential gene analysis found higher gene expression levels of inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis pathways in the HS group. Elevated preoperative inflammatory levels and poor nutritional status have significant effects on skin scar formation after surgery due to the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in scar formation. Therefore, improving nutritional levels and controlling preoperative inflammation might be potential strategies for reducing scar formation.

Authors: Ni Qianxi , Chen Luqiao , Zhu Jun , Pang Jinmeng , Wang Zhiyan , Yang Xiaohua
Published: May 2023

Background SHAP values are suggested as a unique measure of feature importance in machine learning prediction models. It can explain the output of any machine learning prediction model and can also participate in the construction of machine learning prediction models as a feature selection mechanism for handling high-dimensional data. In this study ,the SHAP values and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) algorithm were combined to select the best radiomics features for the establishment of the gamma pass rate(GPR) prediction model.The feasibility and effectiveness of the prediction model were evaluated .
Methods Retrospective analysis of the 3D dosimetric verification results based on measurements with GPR criteria of 3%/2 mm and 10% dose threshold of 196 pelvic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was carried. Radiomic features were extracted from the dose files, from which the XGBoost algorithm based on SHAP values was used to select the optimal feature subset as the input for the prediction model. Four machine learning classification models were constructed when the number of features was 50, 80, 110 and 140 respectively, and the AUC values, recall and F1 scores were calculated to assess the classification performance of the prediction models.
Results The prediction model constructed based on the 110 features selected by SHAP values had an AUC value of 0.81, a recall of 0.93 and an F1 score of 0.82, which were better than the other three models.
Conclusion It is feasible to use the SHAP values in combination with the XGBoost algorithm to select the best subset of radiomic features for the GPR prediction models. The global explanations and single-sample explanations of the model output through SHAP values may offer reference for medical physicists to provide high-quality plans, promoting the clinical application and implementation of GPR prediction models, and providing safe and efficient personalized QA management for patients.

Published: May 2023

Cerebrovascular haemodynamics are sensitive to multiple physiological stimuli that require synergistic response to maintain adequate perfusion. Understanding haemodynamic changes within cerebral arteries is important to inform how the brain regulates perfusion, however methods for direct measurement of cerebral haemodynamics in these environments is challenging. The aim of this study was to assess velocity waveform metrics obtained using transcranial Doppler (TCD) with flow conserving subject-specific three-dimensional (3D) simulations relying on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Twelve healthy participants underwent head and neck imaging with 3 Tesla magnetic resonance angiography. Velocity waveforms in the middle cerebral (MCA) artery were measured with transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) while diameter and velocity was measured using duplex ultrasound in the internal carotid (ICA) and vertebral (VA) arteries to calculate incoming cerebral flow at rest, during hypercapnia and exercise. CFD simulations were developed for each condition, with velocity waveform metrics extracted in the same insonation region as TCD. Exposure to stimuli induced significant changes in cardiorespiratory measures across all participants. Absolute measured TCD velocities were significantly higher than those calculated from CFD (all P < 0.05), and these data were not correlated across conditions (r range 0.030–0.377, all P > 0.05). However, relative changes in velocity from resting levels exhibited significant positive correlations when the distinct techniques were compared (r range 0.577–0.770, all P < 0.05). Our data indicate that whilst absolute measures of cerebral velocity differ between TCD and 3D CFD simulation, physiological changes from resting levels in time-averaged velocity are significantly correlated between these techniques.

Published: May 2023

The current study examines the diffraction of Humbert beam of type-II by a helical axicon based on the diffraction integral formula. The considered beam is a new donut beam family which generated by converting the Bessel-Gaussian beams passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system with a SPP. For the diffracted beam produced by the stationary phase approach, we have formulated the intensity distribution. By adjusting the input beam features and the topological charge of the helical axicon, numerical simulations are carried out to examine the behavior of the diffracted beam.

Published: May 2023

The propagation of General Model vortex Higher-order cosh-Gaussian beam (GMvHchGB) in a maritime atmospheric turbulence has been studied analytically by the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Based on the derived formulae, we performed numerical simulations to study the impact of maritime atmospheric turbulence on the properties of this beam under various beam parameter settings. GMvHchGB cannot keep its shape unchanged when it travels a long distance through this medium. The impact of the incident parameters as Gaussian waist, Cosh parameter, wavelength, hollowness and order of the beam are numerically analyzed.

Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exhibits heterogeneity in clinical symptoms and phenotypes, and microbiome-host interactions play a crucial role in it. Our study aims to explore the potential mechanisms airway microbiome contributed to the acute exacerbation of COPD, so as to prepare for further research and intervention of COPD. Methods We enrolled 31 acute exacerbation stage and 26 stable stage COPD patients to collect their sputum samples for metagenomic and RNA sequencing, identify distinguished microbiome and different expressed genes (DEGs) to conduct bioinformatic analysis and clinical correlation analysis. Results In genus level,Fusobacterium(p < 0.001),Haemophilus(p = 0.007) expressed higher in acute exacerbation stage whileMoraxella(p = 0.039),Rothia(p = 0.032) andGranulicatella(p = 0.018) in the stable stage. In species level,Rothia mucilaginosa(p = 0.015) up-regulated in acute exacerbation stage andHaemophilus influenzae(p = 0.015) up-regulated in stable stage. DEGs enriched significantly in “type I interferon signaling pathway” (adjustedp = 0.001) and “defense response to virus” (adjustedp = 0.023) in GO enrichment analysis. 5 remarkable upregulated pathways were detected when DEGs were analyzed in KEGG PATHWAY database, which were “Influenza A” (p < 0.001, q = 0.012), “Herpes simplex infection” (p < 0.001, q = 0.014), “Cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway” (p = 0.002, q = 0.024), “Toll-like receptor signaling pathway” (p = 0.006, q = 0.045), and “TNF signaling pathway” (p = 0.006, q = 0.045). 10 DEGs were screened as hub genes for further exploration. Besides, we found the hub gene OASL had a positive correlation with CAT score (r = 0.34, p < 0.05). ConclusionsHaemophilus influenzaeandMoraxellaregulate the pathogenesis of AECOPD through type I IFNs and TLRs signaling pathways, andRothia, a commonly considered anti-inflammatory bacteria, could be a valuable therapeutic target in COPD. Meanwhile, 9 hub genes were screened for further research as well.

Modern automobile technology is pushing towards maximizing road safety, connected vehicles, autonomous vehicles, etc. Automotive RADAR is core sensor technology used for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Technology), ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking System), traffic assistance, parking aid, and obstacle/pedestrian detection. Despite being inexpensive, RADAR technology provides robust results in harsh conditions such as harsh weather, extreme temperature, darkness, etc. However, the performance of these systems depends on the position of the RADAR and its characteristics like frequency, beamwidth, and bandwidths. Moreover, the characterization of varied materials like layers of paint, polish, primer, or layer of rainwater needs to be analyzed. This performance can be predicted through real-time simulation using advanced FEM software like Altair FEKO&WinProp. These simulations can provide valuable insight into the performance of the system, allowing engineers to optimize the system for specific use cases. For example, simulation can be used to determine the optimal parameters of the RADAR system for a given application. This information can then be used to design and build a physical model or prototype that is optimized for the desired performance. These simulations play a prominent role in determining appropriate data collection and sensor fusion, which reduces the cost and time required for the development of a physical model or prototype. The continued growth and demand for advanced safety features in vehicles further highlight the importance of RADAR technology in modern automobile technology. By accurately characterizing the environment and simulating the system's behavior in real time, engineers can optimize RADAR systems for specific use cases, contributing to safer and more efficient driving experiences

Authors: Pookamnerd Yodprem , Thosa Panuwat , Charonerat Sittichai , Prasomthong Suriya
Published: May 2023

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process used to weld dissimilar aluminum alloys with varying material properties and compositions. Unlike traditional welding methods, FSW does not involve melting the materials being welded but instead uses a rotating tool to heat and stir the materials until they are in a plastic state. The process results in a welded joint with high strength, excellent ductility, and minimal distortion, making it a popular choice in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and marine. AA6061-T6 (Mg-Si) and AA7075 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) aluminum alloys are one of the most popular grades of aluminum alloys used in current manufacturing industries, such as aerospace and automotive, joined by the Friction Stir Welding Process (FSW) technique. Taguchi orthogonal array (L9) experimental design was applied to reduce the number of insignificant factors in the process. First, the study determines three welding factors: rotation speed, travel speed, and pin eccentricity. Investigations found that travel speeds significantly on tensile strength (Ts) and elongation ( %El), but the rotational speed and tool eccentricity did not affect Ts and %El. Furthermore, considering the fabricated parameters on the hardness (HV) of the joint, it was found that all factors unaffected the HV of the joint zone at a 95 % confidence level. Next, examine the microstructure; Mg2Al3 and Al2O3 intermetallic compounds were found in the weld. Therefore, investigating the crystallite size found that welding significantly affects the crystallite size. Finally, consider the fracture surface, experimental condition A2B1C2 (optimal parameter), which is the parameter with the highest tensile strength having dimple fracture characteristics. On the other hand, the welding condition A1B3C3, the parameter with the lowest tensile strength, Small and fine dimple fracture with cleavage fracture. Because the material is highly ductile and can undergo large deformations before it is damaged. On the other hand, materials with low tensile strength exhibiting cleavage fracture indicate that the materials are brittle and can break easily under stress

Hang Tuah, the most illustrious warrior figure in Malay literature, is said to have lived in Malacca during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah in the 15th century. The story of Hang Tuah has fascinated audiences for many centuries and continues to be retold and fashioned to attract modern audiences. This study traces the adaptation of Hang Tuah across different languages, cultures and media. It explores the adaptation of Hang Tuah by an Indian from India. The objective of this study is to analyse what transpires in the adaptation of a Malay literary text to an Indian docudrama and make a close analysis of Hang Tuah as a Malay culture hero based on Hikayat Hang Tuah. His qualities as a culture hero are discussed thoroughly according to the concept of a culture hero by Jerome Long. At the same time, this research allows the readers to go into the Indian mind, asking especially the director to explain why he decided to adapt Hang Tuah in his historical docudrama. This study article critically analyses the transformation of the Malay culture hero, Hang Tuah, in the literary text entitled Hikayat Hang Tuah to Hang Tuah in the docudrama entitled Bharat Ek-Khoj. The transformation is examined in the context of literature-to-film adaptation. The relation between the original source and the screen adaptations is also investigated.
Exact mean-field solution of a spin chain with short-range and long-range interactions
Authors: Granet Etienne
Published: May 2023

We consider the transverse field Ising model with additional all-to-all interactions between the spins. We show that a mean-field treatment of this model becomes exact in the thermodynamic limit, despite the presence of 1D short-range interactions. Namely, we show that the eigenstates of the model are coherent states with an amplitude that varies through the Hilbert space, within which expectation values of local observables can be computed with mean-field theory. We study then the thermodynamics of the model and identify the different phases. Among its peculiar features, this 1D model possesses a second-order phase transition at finite temperature and exhibits inverse melting.

Background:The number of working doctors in Nigeria has continued to drop owing to increasing cancer related morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of cancer screening among doctors at theUniversity of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Nigeria. Methodology: Structured questionnaire with closed and open ended questions were randomly distributed to Resident doctors and Consultants at UPTH. Respondents socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitude and practice of cancer screening were assessed. Data was analyzed using the IBM statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results:Of the216respondents - 62.5% were Residents while 37.5% were Honorary Consultants peak age range was31-40 years with 46.3%. Males constituted 51.9% while females constituted 48.1%. Forty-four percent had spent 1-5 years in their current positions. Knowledge of canceramong the respondents was good as 83.3% of the doctors choose the option that cancer is an uncontrollable abnormal cell growth while 95.8% responded that there was no age restriction to cancer.While78.3% would seek immediate treatment if diagnosed with cancer,82.4% favored cancer screening. Poor practice of cancer screening was observed with 58.3% reporting they have never been screened for any type of cancers. Notably, 89.8% of them reported that the Government was not doing enough for cancer patients in the country. Conclusion:The study demonstrated good knowledge of cancer screening, positive attitude towards screening but poor practice of cancer screening by practicing specialist doctors in UPTH. Given the influence of doctors in the large society, introspection among doctors and initiation of effective advocacy programs by umbrella bodies like the Nigerian Medical Association, Medical and Dental Consultants of Nigeria, National Association of Resident Doctors and Medical Women Association is imperative in order to improve the acceptance and practice of cancer screening among doctors and reduce the burden of cancer mortality being recorded among doctors and other health care professionals.

The transformer is the most important piece of equipment in the electric power system used to transmit and distribute electricity. The oil/paper mixed insulation system is one of the essential parts due to the various defects that can be produced in this part. In general, the insulating oil contains about 70% of the information on the state of health of the power transformer. We received from the national electricity company the measurement data (Analysis of dissolved gases: AGD) made on transformers in the region of Abidjan Sud which we analyzed in order to detect defects. AGD is an effective technique for diagnosing and ensuring early detection of incipient faults in transformers and making decisions to reduce unplanned failures. The objectives of this research work were to give, from data analysis, the state of health of the transformers installed in the region of Abidjan Sud and to propose to the national electricity company as well as to the various Ivorian companies the most appropriate interpretation method for AGD. The interpretation methods used are: Doernenburg, Rogers, Duval, IEEE and IEC. The study on the different transformers made it possible to show that the IEC criterion had the best rate of correct analysis, while that of Doernenburg had the lowest rate. The state of health of the various processors was also highlighted.

The study of the oxidation or combustion of oil shale or coal is important because it is the basis of the exploitation process to obtain the energy to be converted This exploitation involves several physical phenomena such as heat transfer, matter transfer and others. The laws of matter transfer have been adopted The respective combustion of two national energy materials (Morocco), namely the Z4 layer of oil shale from the Tarfaya deposit and the coal from Jerada, was the subject of this study in an isothermal regime. First, we were interested in mentioning the average temperatures remarkable for this combustion which turned out to be slightly different, then we started a study of the combustion of parallelepipeds with variable dimensions of the two previous materials and we presented a simulated theoretical model by comparing it with the experimental results. This simulated model allowed us to discuss the reactivity of the two energetic materials. Combustion was followed in an isothermal regime using a muffle furnace from 400Â°C to 800Â°C for fine-grained samples (< 0.5 mm) and for grains. The noticeable loss of mass for oil shale at 500Â°C, and for coal at 600Â°C in the first instance. These remarkable temperatures were used to study the effect of parallelepiped dimensions, which have constant height (z = 2 mm) and square side surfaces (x = y = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mm). Several results and interpretations were noted when comparing the combustion of coal and oil shale.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves knee stability and function with many graft types, either autografts or allografts, which have already been studied extensively. Among these grafts, boneâ€“patellar tendonâ€“bone (BPTB) and four-strand hamstring autografts are the two most common autografts used for ACL reconstruction and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Orthopaedic surgeons are attempting to use peroneus longus tendon as a graft. Peroneus longus tendon autografts are commonly used in some orthopaedic procedures, including spring ligament reconstruction, deltoid ligament reconstruction and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to compare the functional outcome between the peroneus longus tendon and hamstring tendon in ACL Reconstruction. Material And Methods: In our study we took 40 cases of ACL tear fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patient selection was randomised, half of the patients were operated by Diagnostic Arthroscopy with ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft and the other half by using peroneus longus autograft. Patients were in the age group of 19 to 54 years. The male/female ratio is 32 males and 8 females. Results: Patient was followed at 6 weeks, 3 and 6-months post operatively for clinical and radiological evaluation and results at end of 6 months were calculated by using IKDC and Lysholm knee score. The functional and radiological outcome is similar in both groups Conclusion: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with peroneus longus autografts produces a functional score (IKDC, Lysholm) comparable to that of hamstring autografts at a 6-month follow-up.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now playing a greater role in the healthcare sector. It can be helpful in many situations when new technologies can benefit people. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the term used to describe the capacity of machines to perform human-like tasks. Intelligent data processing software is now necessary due to the substantial increase in documented information and patient data. From data processing and information retrieval to the use of neural networks for diagnosis and the incorporation of augmented reality and virtual reality into dental education, artificial intelligence has a wide range of applications in medicine and dentistry. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being studied in dentistry for a variety of purposes, including the identification of normal and anomalous structures, disease diagnosis, and treatment outcome prediction. This review looks at some current and future applications of AI in Public Health Dentistry.

Background:Classical psychedelics are a group of drugs which act as agonists on the serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptor. Evidence suggests they may have a uniquely rapid and enduring positive effect on mood. However, marked heterogeneity between methodological designs in this emerging field remains a significant concern. Aims:To determine how differences in the type of psychedelic agent used and the number of dosing sessions administered affect subjects depression and anxiety outcomes and adverse drug reactions (ADR). Methods:This review collected and screened 1591 records from the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases for clinical trials reporting objective data on mood for subjects with a known anxiety or depression. Results:After screening, nine clinical trials met inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of these studies showed significant, large positive effect sizes for measures of anxiety (Cohens dâ€‰=â€‰1.26) and depression (Cohens dâ€‰=â€‰1.38) overall. These positive effects were also significant at acute (â©½1â€‰week) and extended (>1â€‰week) time points. No significant differences were observed between trials using different psychedelic agents (psilocybin, ayahuasca or lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)), however, a significant difference was observed in favour of trials with multiple dosing sessions. No serious ADR were reported. Conclusion:Psilocybin, ayahuasca and LSD all appear to be effective and relatively safe agents capable of producing rapid and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression. Moreover, the findings of the present analysis suggest that they may show a greater efficacy when given to patients over multiple sessions as compared to the more common single session used in many of the existing trials.

Guest satisfaction in the hospitality industry is the measure of how contented the guests are with the hotel services they experience. This study presents the results of the guest satisfaction survey on the service quality of a start-up start university hotel, Cebu Tech Hotel, in its first two years of operation. The sixty hotel guests who participated in this descriptive survey research study used quantitative data to provide pertinent and accurate information on the customer satisfaction of the school hotel under investigation. Results show that hotel guests are generally quite satisfied as reflected in their very satisfied rating. However, even if the clients were satisfied, there are still other components of the hotel concerning the hotel service that need to be in full operation like the 24-hour food service to give the visitors the complete hotel experience. This leads to the conclusion that transferring the quality of services supplied in facilitating the guests hotel accommodations is essential to a pleasant overall guest experience.

In general, the optical and structural properties of perovskites can be improved by doping in order to use them for various applications. In this work, we have developed by the method of spin coating in one step thin layers of FA1-xMAxPbBr3, x gradually taking the values0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 and 0.1. An analysis of the structural and optical properties was made after their characterization. The results obtained indicate thatthe thin films produced exhibit low dislocation densities and good lattice strain values. All have a main peak of maximum intensity located at the 2ÆŸ angle of 26.84Â° for the crystallographic plane (111) and their grain size decreases with the increase in the percentage of methylammonium (MA) from 501 nm to 452 nm. From the morphological point of view, we have well-covered, dense and crack-free surfaces. We also obtained an improvement in the band gap which gradually decreases during doping from 2.68eV for 2% MA to 2.40 eV for 10% MA. At the end of our study, it should be noted that MA-doped FAPbBr3 thin films are of goodquality and can be used in the photovoltaic field.
