Comparison of the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical stimulation and interference current in patients with gonarthrosis
Authors: DOĞAN Ayşe Gülşen
Published: October 2022

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) and interference current (IFC) modalities on pain, function and quality of life in the treatment of patients with gonarthrosis.
Material and Method: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of TENS and IFC modalities on pain, function and quality of life in the treatment of patients with gonarthrosis and to compare them in terms of their superiority.
Results: 80 patients were included in the study. In the TENS and IFC groups, the degree of active-passive knee flexion and extension increased significantly on the 15th day of treatment (T15th day) and at the 3rd month after treatment (AT 3rd month), while it was at a similar level between the 15th day and the 3rd month of treatment. In the comparison of the 15th day of the treatment and the 3rd month after the treatment, the increase in the active-passive flexion and extension measurements in the IFC group was found to be statistically significant (flexion T15th day p=0.007 AT 3rd month p=0.000, extansion T15th day p=0.004 AT 3rd month p=0.031). The decrease in WOMAC total value at the 15th day of the treatment and at the 3rd month after the treatment was found to be significantly decreased in the IFC group (T15th day p=0.013, AT 3rd month p=0.000).
Conclusion: IFC both increased the range of motion of the knee joint in patients with gonarthrosis and contributed to the functional recovery in knee osteoarthritis.
Arias-Stella reaction and frightening cytological changes in endocervical polyp: a rare case report
Authors: ZENGIN Mehmet , BENEK Suat , GÜRLER Müjgan , ERYOL Merve
Published: October 2022

The Arias-Stella (AS) reaction is hormone-dependent atypical endometrial changes characterized by hyperplasia, hypertrophy, vacuolization, pronounced nuclear atypia, pronounced nuclear pleomorphism, and prominent nuclear hyperchromasia in glandular epithelial cells. It is very rare to see AS-related changes in extra uterine areas, especially in an endocervical polyp. Since this benign lesion is very similar to misdiagnoses such as adenocarcinoma, it is very critical to recognize AS reaction in extrauterine areas. The interpretation of pathological findings involves many difficulties, for example, due to the generally small size and fragmentation. Considering the clinical history and good interpretation of the nuclear details are extremely important for correct diagnosis. Here, we present the frightening cellular changes associated with AS observed in an endocervical polyp encountered after abortion in a middle-aged pregnant woman, together with the literature findings.

The patient fully recovered after a total of 23 days of anidulafungin treatment.
Deep Learning–based Search for Microlensing Signature from Binary Black Hole Events in GWTC-1 and -2
Authors: Kim Kyungmin , Lee Joongoo , Hannuksela Otto A. , Li Tjonnie G. F.
Published: October 2022

We present the result of the first deep learning–based search for the signature of microlensing in gravitational waves. This search seeks the signature induced by lenses with masses between 103 and 105
M
⊙ from spectrograms of the binary black hole events in the first and second gravitational-wave transient catalogs. We use a deep learning model trained with spectrograms of simulated noisy gravitational-wave signals to classify the events into two classes, lensed or unlensed. We introduce ensemble learning and a majority voting-based consistency test for the predictions of ensemble learners. The classification scheme of this search primarily classifies one event, GW190707_093326, into the lensed class. To verify the primary classification of this event, we also examine the median probability of the lensed class and observe that the resulting value,

0.984

−
0.342

+
0.012

, agrees with an empirical criterion >0.6 for claiming the detection of a lensed signal. However, the uncertainty of the estimated p-value for the median probability and error, ranging from 0 to 0.1, convinces us GW190707_093326 is less likely a lensed event because it includes p ≥ 0.05 where the unlensed hypothesis is true. Therefore, we conclude our search finds no significant evidence of microlensing signature from the evaluated binary black hole events.

Phylogeny and phylogeography of chelonians from sub-Saharan Africa—A review of current knowledge in tribute to Margaretha D. Hofmeyr
Authors: Fritz Uwe , Tolley Krystal A. , Vamberger Melita , Ihlow Flora
Published: October 2022

Species-level phylogeny and especially phylogeography of African chelonians is a comparatively under-studied field of research. We review the current knowledge of phylogeny and phylogeography, highlight congruence of spatial phylogeographic patterns amongst chelonians and other taxa and suggest future research directions to address gaps in knowledge. Our review shows that phylogeographic and phylogenetic investigations have led to unexpected findings. For example, forPelomedusa, a putatively wide-ranging monotypic terrapin genus, cryptic diversity was revealed, with more than ten species being uncovered. The formerly recognized tortoise genusHomopussensu lato was found to be paraphyletic with respect toChersina. To resolve this situation,Homopuswas restricted to the four-toed speciesH. areolatusandH. femoralisand the genusChersobiuswas resurrected for the five-toed speciesC. boulengeri,C. signatus, andC. solus. Three previously recognized taxa were shown to be invalid, viz. the putatively extinct terrapin speciesPelusios seychellensisand the tortoise subspeciesChersobius signatus caferandStigmochelys pardalis babcocki. Together with taxonomy, the knowledge of phylogeographic structuring sets a solid foundation for conservation measures and allows the identification of Management and Conservation Units. However, the current legislation, in particular the enforcement of the Nagoya Protocol under the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), has largely halted research on widely distributed taxa and turned the well-intended concept of Access and Benefit Sharing into a major impediment for conservation and research. The current situation leads for many species to a continued usage of outdated and incorrect taxonomic classifications resulting in an error cascade of conservation decisions. This is counterproductive to the aims of the CBD, that is, the protection of biodiversity. Sequencing historical DNA from museum specimens using aDNA approaches could be a short-term approach to mitigate, but not solve, this impediment.
An experimental research on emotional stimuli of consumers: The case of H&M flagship store on the millennial customer experience in Barcelona
Authors: Regadera González Elisa , Selvam Rejina M. , García Medina Irene , González Romo Zahaira Fabiola
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The main objective of this exploratory research study was to demonstrate the extent to which customers' approach-avoidance responses to fast fashion flagship stores can be predicted from their emotional states framed according to the PAD (Pleasure, Arousal, and Dominance) model and information rates.Design/methodology/approach: Data was collected through a survey questionnaire from 72 randomly selected millennials visiting H&M flagship store, just after their visit (55% women and 45% men). Data was analysed using exploratory factor analysis to classify the measures and later through regression analysis explaining the predictor variables.Findings: In accordance with the theory and past research on PAD measures, results show PAD as a highly predictable variable over most of the approach-avoidance behaviour in a flagship store environment. Pleasure variable shows highly significant relationship with affect, approach-avoidance (average of all measures of approach-avoidance), and time spent in the store and to an extent significantly relates to purchase intentions. This signifies that in a highly pleasant environment, an individual’s affectionate behaviour, to remain exploring in the store for a longer time, and on an average the approach behaviour to the flagship store will be highly positive. Originality/value: This study is a unique exploration, as very little is known in the literature, on flagship store influences over consumer experiences. Findings suggest interesting advancement in the field of in person shopping effects and encourages future research in flagship store economic investments and marketing impacts, which may extend consumer behavioural scopes as well. This exploratory research may have implications of interest for business strategic decision, brand management, and for marketing as well. As brands seek to recover consumers in their physical stores, offering them a safer and more complete shopping experience, flagship stores can play a key role in encouraging online customers’ visiting stores in-person, which may ultimately increase sales.

Authors: Lu Jing , Pan Longfei , Deng Jingli , Chai Hongjun , Ren Zhou , Shi Yu
Published: October 2022

Deep learning for Flight Maneuver Recognition involves flight maneuver detection and recognition tasks in different areas, including pilot training, aviation safety, and autonomous air combat. As a key technology for these applications, deep learning for Flight Maneuver Recognition research is underdeveloped and limited by domain knowledge and data sources. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of all Flight Maneuver Recognition studies since the 1980s to accurately define the research and describe its significance for the first time. In an analogy to the flourishing Human Action Recognition research, we divided deep learning for Flight Maneuver Recognition into vision-based and sensor-based studies, combed through all the literature, and referred to existing reviews of Human Action Recognition to demonstrate the similarities and differences between Flight Maneuver Recognition and Human Action Recognition in terms of problem essentials, research methods, and publicly available datasets. This paper presents the dataset-The Civil Aviation Flight University of China, which was generated from real training of a fixed-wing flight at Civil Aviation Flight University of China. We used this dataset to reproduce and evaluate several important methods of Flight Maneuver Recognition and visualize the results. Based on the evaluation results, the paper discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and overall shortcomings of these methods, as well as the challenges and future directions for deep learning for Flight Maneuver Recognition.
New fixed point results in double controlled metric type spaces with applications
Authors: Azmi Fatima M.
Published: October 2022

The concept of an $ { \mathcal F} $-contraction was introduced by Wardowski, while Samet et al. introduced the class of $ \alpha $-admissible mappings and the concept of ($ \alpha $-$ \psi $)-contractive mapping on complete metric spaces. In this paper, we study and extend two types of contraction mappings: ($ \alpha $-$ \psi $)-contraction mapping and ($ \alpha $-$ { \mathcal F} $)-contraction mapping, and establish new fixed point results on double controlled metric type spaces. Moreover, we demonstrate some examples and present an application of our result on the existence and uniqueness of the solution for an integral equation.
Mittag-Leffler stabilization of anti-periodic solutions for fractional-order neural networks with time-varying delays
Authors: Xu Dan-Ning , Li Zhi-Ying
Published: October 2022

Mittag-Leffler stabilization of anti-periodic solutions for fractional-order neural networks with time-varying delays are investigated in the article. We derive the relationship between the fractional-order integrals of the state function with and without delays through the division of time interval, using the properties of fractional calculus, and initial conditions. Moreover, by constructing the sequence solution of the system function which converges to a continuous function uniformly with the Arzela-Asoli theorem, a sufficient condition is obtained to ensure the existence of an anti-periodic solution and Mittag-Leffler stabilization of the system. In the final, we verify the correctness of the conclusion by numerical simulation.
Stacking-BERT model for Chinese medical procedure entity normalization
Authors: Li Luqi , Zhai Yunkai , Gao Jinghong , Wang Linlin , Hou Li , Zhao Jie
Published: October 2022

Medical procedure entity normalization is an important task to realize medical information sharing at the semantic level; it faces main challenges such as variety and similarity in real-world practice. Although deep learning-based methods have been successfully applied to biomedical entity normalization, they often depend on traditional context-independent word embeddings, and there is minimal research on medical entity recognition in Chinese Regarding the entity normalization task as a sentence pair classification task, we applied a three-step framework to normalize Chinese medical procedure terms, and it consists of dataset construction, candidate concept generation and candidate concept ranking. For dataset construction, external knowledge base and easy data augmentation skills were used to increase the diversity of training samples. For candidate concept generation, we implemented the BM25 retrieval method based on integrating synonym knowledge of SNOMED CT and train data. For candidate concept ranking, we designed a stacking-BERT model, including the original BERT-based and Siamese-BERT ranking models, to capture the semantic information and choose the optimal mapping pairs by the stacking mechanism. In the training process, we also added the tricks of adversarial training to improve the learning ability of the model on small-scale training data. Based on the clinical entity normalization task dataset of the 5th China Health Information Processing Conference, our stacking-BERT model achieved an accuracy of 93.1%, which outperformed the single BERT models and other traditional deep learning models. In conclusion, this paper presents an effective method for Chinese medical procedure entity normalization and validation of different BERT-based models. In addition, we found that the tricks of adversarial training and data augmentation can effectively improve the effect of the deep learning model for small samples, which might provide some useful ideas for future research.
Henri Pichette et le « trésor » de l’enfance : de la collecte au poème
Authors: Pardo Céline
Published: October 2022

Résumé : On relève dans l’œuvre du poète Henri Pichette quelques textes empruntant directement leur forme aux traditions orales enfantines : des comptines et des formulettes dans la version finale des Épiphanies (dont la réécriture est entamée en 1965), des « enfantines » publiées en marge de l’œuvre proprement dite (dans les Cahiers Henri Pichette en 1991 et 1995), des « rimettes et amusettes » dans Les Ditelis du rougegorge (livre posthume paru en 2005). Ces formes qu’investit le poète à partir du milieu des années 1960, après son séjour au Canada, sont à mettre en relation avec son étude passionnée, à partir de la même époque, des parlers populaires, des patois et des dialectes, mais aussi des travaux folkloristes dans lesquels il recueille en particulier tout ce qui se rapporte de noms, dictons, expressions populaires, mimologismes ou récits légendaires à la figure du rouge-gorge. Lui-même conduit différentes enquêtes de terrain sur cet oiseau dès la fin des années 1970. À partir de cet oiseau devenu pour lui un véritable objet de dévotion, tant spirituel que poétique, Pichette engage son écriture dans une poétique de l’« enfance », visant non seulement à ranimer les croyances ancestrales contenues dans la langue, mais aussi à rendre au lecteur le « trésor » perdu de l’enfance : cet enchantement devant les mots qui, de simple plaisir ludique ou érudit, peut aussi conduire à un réenchantement mystique du réel.
L’imprévoyance de l’oralité et les sottises de la lettre
Authors: Caudebec Marion
Published: October 2022

Résumé : Cet article propose une étude de la pièce fantaisiste Le Roman du Chaperon Rouge, écrite par le jeune Alphonse Daudet en 1859. L’héroïne éponyme du célèbre conte y fait l’éloge d’un hédonisme sans scrupule, qu’elle vante auprès de plusieurs personnages-types : un écolier, un homme de lettres, un couple d’amoureux, un fou. Nous verrons que le texte met en vis-à-vis deux régimes, celui de l’oralité et celui de la littératie, auxquels est rattaché un imaginaire graphique de la courbe et de la ligne droite. Nous déduirons de cette analyse que la raison ne se trouve pas toujours là où elle semble être à première vue. Cette pièce, qui apparaît être aussi légère que le Chaperon, se révèle particulièrement éloquente par rapport à la posture de l’écrivain fantaisiste, voire du genre lui-même.

Authors: Khate Kevisino , Neelima Arambam
Published: October 2022

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious viral illness that causes health concerns. It was initially recorded in Wuhan (China). Early diagnosis of the disease aids in preventing its spread. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory test method for detecting the COVID-19 virus. To avoid the spread of COVID-19 disease, the researcher researched other techniques of diagnosis. One such technique is the classification of COVID-19 using medical images, notably chest x-ray (x-ray), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound images. This chapter suggests merging canny edge detection techniques with traditional machine learning and deep learning techniques to diagnose COVID-19.
Approximation-Aided Epilepsy Detection Using Linear and Non-Linear Classifiers
Authors: Govindarajan Usha , K. Narasimhan
Published: October 2022

Patients with brain-related symptoms and diseases are diagnosed using electrocardiogram (EEG) signals. Epilepsy in humans can be diagnosed from EEG signals. This chapter focuses on identification of seizure-free, seizure, epileptic, and normal EEG signals with minimum-length EEG signal. The algorithm could classify the seizure and normal EEG signals even for a length of 1000 samples per segment. The algorithm was tested on various EEG signals. The traits are extracted from the EEG signal and preprocessed and fed to five different classifiers to check the accuracy of the scheme. The algorithm provided a better accuracy of 99.8945%. The sample signals were taken from an EEG signal database available at University of Bonn. The proposed scheme was tested with performance measures such as specificity (SPE), NPV (negative predictive value), PPV (positive predictive value), ACC (accuracy), MCC (Matthews's correlation coefficient), and sensitivity (SEN). The test results proved that the proposed methodology could perform real-time epileptic seizure detection.
Developing an Inventory to Evaluate Communication Skills of Children With Normal Hearing and Hearing Loss
Authors: Genc Esra , Uzuner Yildiz
Published: October 2022

Researchers state that communication skills, which are developed before language acquisition and have very important place in language development, are 1) directing attention, 2) turn-taking, 3) imitation, 4) communicative purposes, and 5) conversation. As in all children, communication skills in children with hearing loss are very important. It is very important to identify children who have problems with their communication skills and to provide appropriate education. Standardized tests are generally used to assess children's language and communication skills in Turkey, but there are no informal tools that allow the assessment of early communication skills. Therefore, in this chapter, firstly, communication skills will be briefly defined and the disadvantages and advantages of formal and informal assessment and evaluation approaches will be discussed. Afterwards, the scope and development process of the informal communication skills inventory (ICSI) based on natural data collection in various contexts will be presented with sample items from the inventory.
Raising Awareness of the City as a Text
Authors: Clavijo Olarte Amparo , Medina Rosa Alejandra , Calderon-Aponte Daniel , Rodríguez Alejandra , Prieto Kewin , Náder María Clara
Published: October 2022

In this chapter, the authors explore the semiotic landscape of the city to analyze multimodal, multicultural, and multilingual resources for language and literacy education. In this ethnographic study, teacher-researchers explore urban literacies as social, artistic, political, cultural, and pedagogical practices that connect different community actors, diverse texts, and local realities. Data were collected through community tours, photographs (a corpus of 387 photographs), and semi-structured interviews with graffiti artists and community inhabitants. The findings reveal that semiotic and linguistic landscapes that surround schools can be harnessed to develop critical place awareness and to recognize the audiences and purposes of multimodal texts embedded in the environments. It also leads to the recognition of multicultural and linguistic diversity that is rarely reflected in school-centered curriculum and decontextualized textbooks.

Authors: Félix José , Moreira Juliana , Santos Rubim , Sousa Andreia S. P.
Published: October 2022

Electrodermal activity (EDA) can be defined as an electrical property of the skin, measured in the palm and sole, related to the level of conductivity, influenced by the sweat level that may depend on various stimuli. Different equipments have been used to capture EDA with high levels of reliability, validity, and responsiveness, however these values vary according to the site of measurement. The increased use of EDA wrist-based systems highlights the need of characterizing the psychometric properties of these kind of systems. The aim of this chapter is to review the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of EDA measurement in the wrist. Previous studies have demonstrated that wrist measurement present low to moderate correlations, against the gold standard systems, with moderate levels of responsiveness, while no study addressed reliability. Wrist EDA measurement could be therefore an acceptable option, however, more studies are demanded not only to assess related values of reliability, as well to best characterize validity and responsiveness measures.

Diagnosis of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: A review
Authors: Tetikkurt Cuneyt , Ozturk Buket Caliskaner , Gungordu Nejdiye
Published: October 2022

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare lung disease with unprecedented features characterized by fibroelastotic changes in the subpleural lung parenchyma affecting the upper lobes. PPFE is usually idiopathic, but it can be caused by infection, autoimmunity, bone marrow or lung transplantation, or a genetic predisposition. Histopathologic examination of lung biopsy samples reveals homogenous subpleural fibrosis and abundant elastic fibers, allowing for a definitive diagnosis. As PPFE mimics many interstitial lung diseases, clinicians face significant difficulties in making a definitive final diagnosis. Since most disease-related comorbid conditions manifest at an advanced stage, invasive tissue sampling for histopathologic evaluation is consistently impossible. Such a patient presentation highlights the importance of an analysis based solely on clinical findings, which would provide a definitive diagnosis without the need for a biopsy. Because of its exceptional and inconceivable presentation, PPFE creates a diagnostic dilemma. In light of our two cases and the literature data, we present a diagnostic assessment score assay that relies solely on clinical manifestations without histopathological tissue verification to shed light on the diagnosis of PPFE. This review focuses on PPFE identification through the use of a diagnostic assessment analysis to improve early disease recognition without the use of invasive diagnostic interventions to obtain biopsy samples for histopathologic evaluation. This analytic approach, while not diagnostic in and of itself, may provide a useful pathway for differential diagnosis and may preclude redundant initiatives.
A note on a periglacial erosional process in the Isachsen Area, N.W.T.
Authors: Lamothe C , St-Onge D
Published: October 2022

ln several regions of the Canadian Arctic, the melting of groundice triggers erosional processes that bring about the removal of large quantities of unconsolidated material on steep valley walls. As a result, large hollows are rapidly excavated by mud flows.
Measurements made on Ellef Ringnes Island show that the back wall of such a hollow retreated by as much as 10 m in one season. These processes are considered to be among the most rapid erosional agents now active under the present periglacial morphoclimatic conditions of the High
Arctic.
Ultrasound assessment of residual gastric volume in older adults undergoing staged-bilateral total knee arthroplasty after consuming carbohydrate-containing fluids: a prospective observational study
Authors: Shin Hyun-Jung , Kim Heeyeon , Han Sung-Hee , Do Sang-Hwan , Na Hyo-Seok
Published: October 2022

Background: We compared preoperative residual gastric volume (GV) between the first and second stages of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in older adults after drinking carbohydrate-containing fluid 2 h prior to surgery.Methods: In this study, 36 patients, aged > 65 years, scheduled for staged bilateral TKA with one-week interval, were enrolled. The patients consumed 400 ml of carbohydrate-containing fluid 2 h prior to surgery. Before the induction of spinal anesthesia, the gastric antral cross-sectional area was measured at the first and second TKA using ultrasound, and the residual GV was calculated. The primary outcome was the residual GV. Qualitative GV (grades 0, 1, and 2) and analgesic consumption after the first TKA were assessed as secondary outcomes.Results: The GV (median [Q1, Q3]) was greater in the second-stage TKA (41.1 [22.5, 62.8] ml) than in the first-stage TKA (10.3 [0.0, 27.1] ml) (P < 0.001). In the qualitative assessment, the distribution was not different between the two stages of TKA (P = 0.219) and only one patient showed grade 2 gastric content in the second TKA. When opioid consumption was converted to an equivalent dose of morphine, an average of 53.9 mg of morphine was required after the first TKA.Conclusions: Residual GV after drinking carbohydrate-containing fluid differed according to the stage of TKA, showing a larger residual GV in the second TKA than in the first one. In older adults scheduled to undergo bilateral staged TKA, caution is required in preoperative fasting practice, especially in second-stage surgery.

Published: October 2022

We hereby present a case of a 41-year-old female with hypertension and right mastectomy, who presented with bilateral visual loss, weakness of all four limbs, and livedo reticularis of acute onset and was found to have multifocal areas of infarct in bilateral occipital lobes and left external capsule due to antiphospholipid syndrome. Various differentials in the form of sepsis-induced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, posterior circulation stroke, and purpura fulminans confused the final diagnosis of an orphan disease – Sneddon syndrome. This case is reported for the rarity of the disease and the diagnostic dilemmas faced by the nondermatologist in diagnosing this condition even in the presence of striking skin changes.
Neurosarcoidosis Camouflaging as Partial Miller: Fisher Syndrome
Authors: Shiva Prasad B N , Ramaswamy Subramanian , Moin Aumir , Nalloor Srinivas
Published: October 2022

Neurological involvement in sarcoidosis has varied presentations. Peripheral neuropathy is one of them. Symmetrical axonal type sensory-motor polyneuropathy is the most common form; focal and multifocal neuropathy, polyradiculopathy, and vascular neuropathy are among the others. Cases of demyelinating polyneuropathy masquerading as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy/Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy have been reported rarely. Neurosarcoidosis (NS) often masquerades as other disorders, and the occurrence of GBS-like clinical phenotype is a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of NS presenting as atypical GBS.

This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study involving consecutive PsA patients from 17 rheumatology centers. Their disease variables and comorbidities were recorded.

Results:

In 549 enrolled patients, the mean age was 39.2 (14.9) years, with male predominance (6:5). The mean duration of PsA was 63.1 (76.3) months and 232 (42.3%) patients had one or more comorbidities. Dyslipidemia was the most prevalent comorbidity, followed by hypertension (HTN) (19.8%) and diabetes (16.6%). About 39% of patients were overweight and 18% were obese. Smoking, ischemic heart disease, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis, depression, anxiety, and fractures were seen in <5% of the cohort. Increasing age, longer duration of psoriasis, a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or stroke, smoking, alcohol consumption, and higher waist circumference were associated with the presence of one or more comorbidities. Overall, 104 (18.9%) patients needed hospitalization for various comorbidities. Infections accounted for 59 (10.8%), of which skin (23) was the most common site, followed by urinary tract (6) and lung (4).

Conclusions:

More than 40% of PsA patients have comorbidities. Dyslipidemia, HTN, diabetes, and obesity were most prevalent, putting these patients at risk for CVDs. Active screening for these comorbidities is crucial for providing comprehensive care to these patients.

Published: October 2022

A 76-year-old female patient was unable to ambulate due to sequelae of cerebrovascular disease and had been living in a healthcare facility. On admission, the patient was diagnosed with sepsis and a urinary tract infection caused by Candida tropicalis. Chest radiography showed right lung atelectasis, while bronchoscopy showed bronchial stenosis with anthracotic pigmentation in both bronchi. Bronchial washing cytology revealed herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1-infected cells with intranuclear inclusions and multinucleation on the 7th day. Moreover, the patient showed microscopic hematuria. Urine cytology also revealed HSV type 1-infected cells. The patient was treated with antiviral (acyclovir), antifungal, and antibiotic agents. One week later, follow-up urine cytology revealed the absence of HSV infection, and her condition was stabilized. However, her clinical condition deteriorated due to an infection caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, and she eventually died 4 weeks after admission. We describe a case of HSV type 1 pneumonia and urinary tract infection in an older adult patient.
Bioelectrochemical performance of microbial fuel cell powered electro-Fenton system (MFCⓅEFs) with composite PANI-Mn/CF anode

Microbial fuel cell powered electro-Fenton system (MFCⓅEFs) is a self-sustainable energy conversion process to degrade refractory pollutants utilizing green biomass energy. Most previous works usually employed innovative cathode to minimize electron transfer losses but neglected the development of high-efficiency anode to enhance electron generation. The synergy of polyaniline (PANI) and MnO2 on electrode could improve charge accessibility and facilitate rapid electron transfer due to its superior conductivity and capacitance, which had not been applied to MFCⓅEFs as anode so far. In this study, a PANI-Mn/CF (carbon fiber loaded with polyaniline and MnO2) composite anode was introduced into MFCⓅEFs to enhance interface activity and realize more efficient electricity generation and pollutant degradation. Experimental results showed that a higher power density (5.49 times that of the original CF) and lower ohmic resistance (7.17 Ω) occurred in the MFCⓅEFs with PANI-Mn/CF anode, which consumed more sewage sludge (37.14% of TCOD removal), leading to achieving more effective pollutant degradation (93.03% of tetracycline hydrochloride removal). Overall, this study provided an innovative way of thinking and approach to efficient utilization of biomass waste and degradation of refractory pollutants with the merits of environmental sustainability.
An Analytic Propositional Proof System on Graphs
Authors: Acclavio Matteo , Horne Ross , Straßburger Lutz
Published: October 2022

In this paper we present a proof system that operates on graphs instead of
formulas. Starting from the well-known relationship between formulas and
cographs, we drop the cograph-conditions and look at arbitrary undirected)
graphs. This means that we lose the tree structure of the formulas
corresponding to the cographs, and we can no longer use standard proof
theoretical methods that depend on that tree structure. In order to overcome
this difficulty, we use a modular decomposition of graphs and some techniques
from deep inference where inference rules do not rely on the main connective of
a formula. For our proof system we show the admissibility of cut and a
generalisation of the splitting property. Finally, we show that our system is a
conservative extension of multiplicative linear logic with mix, and we argue
that our graphs form a notion of generalised connective.

Timeliness of the submission of financial statements is the most important thing because the information contained in it is needed by the parties, especially investors. Timeliness of the submission of financial statements is necessary so as not to lose its relevance. Loss of relevance can make information less useful for decision making. However, in reality there are still public companies that are late in submitting their financial reports, one of which is the property and real estate sector. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of profitability, leverage, firm size and audit committee meeting frequencies on the timeliness of submitting financial statements. Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation No. 29 /POJK.04/2016 Article 7 states that the submission of the annual financial report to OJK is no later than the end of the fourth month (120 days) after the date of the annual financial report, and if it exceeds 120 days, it will be subject to sanctions, fines by PT Bursa Efe Indonesia. The object of research used is the property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2020. The results of the research using Wald's test show that the independent variables are profitability, solvency size of the company, and the number of audit committee meetings with a value of sig. one tail each of 0.095, 0.028, 0.021, 0.311 so that the first and fourth hypotheses are rejected. While the second and third variables show test results of 0.028 and 0.021 so that the second and third hypotheses are accepted. The conclusion of this study shows that solvency has a negative effect and firm size has a positive effect on the timeliness of submitting financial statements. Meanwhile, profitability and audit committee meetings have no effect on the timeliness of submitting financial reports.

The conclusion of this study is that there is not enough evidence that liquidity and firm size have a positive effect on financial performance. While the age of the company there is sufficient evidence of a positive effect on financial performance. There is not enough evidence of capital structure to have a negative effect on financial performance.
BEYOND ORGANIC OF MANAGEMENT CONTROL STRUCTURE
Authors: Hanif Hanif
Published: October 2022

The research objective is to find a new management control structure, in addition to the existing models: mechanistic and organic. The approach used is hermeneutic to reinterpret the text of management control structure in the Padang restaurant from the relevant literature. After finding the meaning of the text, then field observations were carried out. All relevant literature is positioned as a neutral text which is then reinterpreted to get the essence of the concept of management control structure. The research finding is  the design of the Padang restaurant management control structure is the development of the organic model. Each restaurant branch is an autonomous organizational sub-unit, which includes three main characteristics, first, a horizontal and non-hierarchical organizational structure design, and a strategic business unit character. Managers in each branch are given full authority in making operational decisions of the company, a picture of radical decentralization can be seen. Second, the communication network follows the design rhythm of a flat organizational structure, namely fluid communication, dominated by informal communication. The third is budgeting, which is flexible, that is, there is no conventional budgeting that contains details, but only outlines.
