Problems of gender differentiation in the labor market of the Russian Federation
Authors: Irsetskaya Elena
Published: September 2022

The issue of gender imbalance is one of the most common topics for analysis within the framework of scientific discourse today, and it is also reflected in many applied socio-economic studies. Recent events such as the coronavirus pandemic and the special military operation have had a major impact on the Russian economy, most notably in the area of labor relations and employment. State guarantees for the provision of equal rights in the labor market for women and men in the current crisis need additional stimulation and development in order to reflect and ensure the rights of women and men in the labor market and prevent serious gender asymmetries. However, the changes that have taken place in society have contributed to the intensification of the process of manifestation of gender differentiation and discrimination against women in the labor market. Socio-economic changes have largely affected the life of every Russian family. Emerging intra-family problems significantly limited the opportunities for social and professional growth of women, their opportunities for self-realization, and also led to an increase in the risk for women associated with the loss of a job. In addition, we can notice the presence and reproduction of gender stereotypes in modern society. They have significant impact on development of public opinion and attitudes towards women's work, both among the leaders of organizations and among women themselves. The current situation goes to the further consolidation of the process of gender differentiation in the economic sphere, as well as to the strengthening of the financial dependence of women on men.

Authors: Kozlova Nataliya , Rassadin Sergey , Ovcharova Olga
Published: September 2022

The problem of domestic violence is considered in the context of the implementation of the state family policy of the Russian Federation, represented in the network space of the regions. The authors of the article hypothesize that in the subjects of the Russian Federation with a trend for increased fertility, the topic of domestic violence is articulated by citizens and the authorities, social networks contain information about various channels, mechanisms, institutions for solving this problem, which contributes to the formation of effective communication between public authorities and the society within the framework of the implementation of state family policy and the increase in fertility; in regions with a trend towards narrowed reproduction of the population, the representation of the problem of domestic violence on the Internet is minimal, resources for the implementation of state family policy are not used enough. The objects of the study were the Tyumen Region, the Republic of Dagestan, the Republic of Kalmykia, the Tambov Region, the Chukotka Autonomous District. The immediate subject of the analysis were network resources, first of all, groups in VKontakte – "Overheard in ...", in which citizens discuss family issues. The authors conclude that in four out of five of the subjects of the federation under consideration, the hypothesis about the connection of the representation of the problem of domestic violence in the network resources of regional communities with various demographic trends was confirmed.

Published: September 2022

As ações antropogênicas têm acarretado crescentes e alarmantes impactos climáticos em diferentes regiões do planeta. Em um mundo predominantemente urbano, o aquecimento global não distingue meios naturais ou híbridos, tampouco assentamentos urbanos formais ou informais. O Rio de Janeiro é representativo das iniquidades sociais do país que afetam mais fortemente as camadas mais pobres da sociedade. Dar atenção às favelas e suas populações representa um objetivo importante e original, pois traz previsibilidade às ações locais e regionais relacionadas aos grupamentos vulnerabilizados, além de conscientização frente aos problemas ambientais. Atualmente, há cerca de 1.000 favelas na cidade, com predomínio de cerca de 45% da população moradora de favelas na Área de Planejamento (AP-3). O presente trabalho se concentra em uma das 16 comunidades que conformam o enorme e emblemático Conjunto de Favelas da Maré, com cerca de 140.000 moradores: a Nova Holanda, com 14.000 moradores. Um assentamento, em essência planejado (1962), que surgiu em função das políticas remocionistas. O estudo destaca como ações antrópicas descuidadas podem resultar em impactos ambientais em assentamentos precários, com particularidade em favelas. A metodologia adotada é baseada em simulações computacionais relativas ao microclima, realizadas principalmente através do programa ENVI-met 3.1. Este estudo, que emerge dos campos das ciências ambientais e do urbanismo, tem como relevância desenvolver diagnósticos de forma a fornecer subsídios para futuras propostas de requalificação de favelas, partindo, portanto, de conceitos e diretrizes adotados normalmente para as ditas “áreas formais” da cidade, mesmo com possíveis adaptações.
Free tissue reconstruction of massive facial trauma - review of the literature and considerations to implement aesthetic and functional outcome
Authors: Pang John , Cash Harrison , Futran Neal
Published: September 2022

The surgical armamentarium for the treatment of massive facial trauma has undergone a dramatic shift from early management strategies. Although tenants of acute trauma management continue to prioritize airway management and cardiopulmonary support, improved functional outcomes are achievable with an emphasis on early definitive free tissue transfer. The use of workhorse donor flaps, such as the radial forearm, fibula, and latissimus, have become the standard of care. An emphasis is placed on the separation of cranial, sinonasal, and oral contents and restoration of form and function. Here, we also discuss the management of telecanthus, nasal defects, and microstomia - sequelae which represent unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. The ability to perform virtual surgical planning and facial transplantation will likely shape future paradigms and represent the need to perform ongoing research.
Supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis vs. vascularized lymph vessel transplant - technical optimization and when to perform which
Authors: Pandey Sonia Kukreja , Fahradyan Vahe , Orfahli Lynn M. , Chen Wei F.
Published: September 2022

Early surgical intervention for lymphedema can delay, prevent, and even reverse lymphatic degeneration. Vascularized lymph vessel transplant (VLVT) has emerged as an alternative to vascularized lymph node transplant (VLNT) for the treatment of advanced, fluid-predominant lymphedema, providing highly favorable outcomes with reduced donor-site complications. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) has traditionally been reserved for early disease. However, technical refinements have improved its results and expanded its efficacy, creating an overlap between the indications for VLVT/VLNT and LVA. This article describes our technical approach to VLVT and LVA and explores the nuances of treatment selection in the light of their shifting indications.

Authors: Rao P. Syamasundar
Published: September 2022

This review describes echocardiographic features of commonly encountered cyanotic congenital heart defects. Echo-Doppler characteristics of more commonly seen defects: tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, and truncus arteriosus were first discussed. Then, hypoplastic left heart syndrome followed by less commonly observed lesions such as double-outlet right ventricle, double-inlet left ventricle, interrupted aortic arch, pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve, and mitral atresia with normal aortic root were reviewed.
A Complete Proof Of The Riemann Hypothesis Based On A New Expression Of $\xi(s)$
Authors: Zhang Weicun
Published: September 2022

Based on the Hadamard product $\xi(s)= \xi(0)\prod_{\rho}(1-\frac{s}{\rho})$, a new expression of $\xi(s)$ is obtained by paring $\rho$ and $\bar{\rho}$ $$\xi(s)=\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}$$ where $\xi(0)=\frac{1}{2}$, $\rho_i=\alpha_i+j\beta_i$ and $\bar{\rho}_i=\alpha_i-j\beta_i$ are complex conjugate zeros of $\xi(s)$, $0<\alpha_i<1$ and $\beta_i\neq 0$ are real numbers, $d_i\geq 1$ are the multiplicities of $\rho_i$, $\beta_i$ are in order of increasing $|\beta_i|$, i.e., $|\beta_1|\leq|\beta_2|\leq|\beta_3|\leq \cdots$. Then we have, by the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, that $$\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}} =\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}$$ i.e., $$\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}1+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}=\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}1+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}$$ which, by Lemma 3, is equivalent to $$\alpha_i= \frac{1}{2}, i =1, 2, 3, \cdots, \infty$$ Thus, we conclude that the Riemann Hypothesis is true.
Using Incremental Ensemble Learning Techniques to Design Portable Intrusion Detection for Computationally Constraint Systems

Published: September 2022

Computers have evolved over the years and as the evolution continues, we have been ushered into an era where high-speed internet has made it possible for devices in our homes, hospital, energy and industry to communicate with each other. This era is what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT has several benefits in the health, energy, transportation and agriculture sectors of a country’s economy. These enormous benefits coupled with the computational constraint of IoT devices which makes it difficult to deploy enhanced security protocols on them make IoT devices a target of cyber-attacks. One approach that has been used in traditional computing over the years to fight cyber-attacks is Intrusion Detection System (IDS). However, it is practically impossible to deploy IDS meant for traditional computers in IoT environments because of the computational constraint of these devices. In this regard, this study proposes a lightweight IDS for IoT devices using an incremental ensemble learning technique. We used Gaussian Naive Bayes and Hoeffding tree to build our incremental ensemble model. The model was then evaluated on the TON IoT dataset. Our proposed model was compared with other state-of-the-art methods proposed and evaluated using the same dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieved an average accuracy of 99.98\%. We also evaluated the memory consumption of our model which showed that our model achieved a lightweight model status of 650.11KB as the highest memory consumption and 122.38KB as the lowest memory consumption.
Influence of a Flat Polyimide Inlay on the Propagation of Guided Ultrasonic Waves in a Narrow GFRP-Specimen

Published: September 2022

This work investigates how integrated polyimide inlays with applied sensor bodies influence the guided ultrasonic wave propagation in narrow glass fiber-reinforced polymer specimens. Preliminary numerical simulations indicate that in a damping-free specimen, the inlays show reflections for the S0-mode propagation. Hence, an air-coupled ultrasonic technique and a 3D laser Doppler vibrometer measurement are used to measure different parts of the propagating waves’ displacement field after burst excitation at different frequencies. No significant reflections on the inlay can be seen in the experiments. However, it is shown that the reflections from the strip specimen’s narrow width cause periodical reflections that superimpose with the excited wave fronts. A continuous wavelet transformation in the time-frequency domain filters discontinuities from the measurement signal and is used for reconstruction of the time signals. The reconstructed signals are used in a spatial continuous wavelet transformation to identify the occurring wavelengths and hence to prove the assumption of reflections from the narrow edges. Since the amplitude of the reflections identified in the numerical data at the polyimide inlays are an order of magnitude smaller than the excited wave packages, it is concluded that material damping of the epoxy resin matrix extincts possible reflections from the inlays.

Published: September 2022

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is a multifunctional protein that is involved in proliferation, inflammation and apoptosis mechanism of hepatocytes. HCV core protein genetic variability has been implicated in various outcomes of HCV pathology and treatment. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the role of HCV core protein in tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced death under the viewpoint of HCV genetic variability. Immortalized hepatocytes (IHH), and not the Huh7.5 hepatoma cell line, stably expressing HCV subtype 4a and HCV subtype 4f core proteins showed that only HCV 4a core protein could increase sensitivity to TNFα-induced death. Development of two transgenic mice expressing the two different core proteins under the liver-specific promoter of transthyretin (TTR) allowed for the in vivo assessment of the role of core in TNFα-induced death. Using the TNFα-dependent model of lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/Dgal) we were able to recapitulate the in vitro results in IHH cells in vivo. Transgenic mice expressing HCV 4a core protein were more susceptible to the LPS/Dgal model while mice expressing HCV 4f core protein had the same susceptibility as their littermate controls. Transcriptome analysis in liver biopsies from these transgenic mice gave insights into HCV core molecular pathogenesis, while linking HCV core protein genetic variability to differential pathology in vivo.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: The application of the concept of self-regulation that has an impact on the psychological well-being of adolescent social media users as self-regulation in a core aspect of human functioning that helps facilitate the successful pursuit of personal goals and adaptability to changes in the environment. This literature aims to determine the study of the psychological well-being philosophy of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation.Methods: This literature study was conducted through a search for scientific publications ranging from 2018-2022. The databases used are PubMed, Science Direct, and ProQuest. The literature search was carried out according to topics with four groups of keywords based on Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) and combined with Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT, keywords Self-regulation AND mental wellbeing AND social media AND adolescence.Results: A study of the psychological well-being of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation based on ontology, epistemology, and axiology studies. Self-regulation is a philosophy that emphasizes the dynamic process that directs the behavior of a teenager towards the desired final state and adapts to changes that occur in the surrounding environment. The adaptation process is carried out as a form of self-regulation of the positive and negative impacts of using social media on adolescents with a motivational approach and avoidance system. The approach motivation system is carried out if it provides positive aspects in social media. While avoidance motivation is carried out if it has a negative impact in the form of low self-esteem, depression, and body image disturbances as a result of social comparisons made by teenagers when they see other people's posts.Conclusion: The concept of psychological well-being of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation is beneficial for parents to improve the parenting pattern of adolescent children. Good parenting is needed in understanding the positive and negative impacts of using social media and reducing externalization problems in adolescents.
The Link between ADHD and Antisocial Behavior: The Moderating Role of the Protective Factor Sense of Coherence
Authors: Dayan Haym , Khoury-Kassabri Mona , Pollak Yehuda
Published: September 2022

Numerous studies have established the link between ADHD and antisocial behavior, one of the most serious functional impairments caused by the disorder. However, research on protective factors that mitigate this link is still lacking. The Salutogenic Model of Health offers the “Sense of Coherence” (SOC), establishing that individuals who see their lives as logical, meaningful, and manageable are more resistant to various risk factors and diseases. The present study examines for the first time whether SOC is also a protective factor against ADHD-related different types of antisocial behaviors (severe/mild violent behavior, verbal violence, property crimes, public disorder, and drug abuse). 2260 participants aged 15-50 completed online questionnaires assessing the level of ADHD symptoms, antisocial behaviors, and SOC. An interaction between ADHD and SOC was found in predicting each type of antisocial behavior. The link between ADHD and antisocial behavior was significantly weaker for high than low SOC participants, regardless of age group. The current study found that people with high SOC are protected against the effect of ADHD on one of the most serious functional impairments, antisocial behavior. These findings suggest that SOC is a protective factor from the adverse effects of ADHD, justifying further prospective and intervention studies.

Serum angiopoietin 2 acts as a diagnostic biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies.
Authors: Elgenidy Anas , Awad Ahmed K , Afifi Ahmed M , Jalal Prasun K
Published: September 2022

Background & Aims: HCC is characteristically a hypervascular tumor where angiogenesis is directly linked to its progression. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) promotes vascular remodeling as the Ang-2-Tie2 pathway suppresses interactions between endothelial cells and vascular mural cells: pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. However, the importance of Ang-2 has a controversial outcome between the studies, thus we aimed to systematically analyze the diagnostic utility of serum Ang-2 in patients with HCC in comparison with cirrhotic liver diseases.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases until Jan 2022, to identify studies assessing serum levels of Ang-2 in patients with HCC. Studies that measured Serum Angiopoietin 2 levels of hepatocellular carcinoma patients, articles that were published in peer-reviewed international journals and had enough data for qualitative and quantitative analysis were included with no language restriction.
We conducted our double-arm meta-analysis using the “meta” package in R version 4.1.0. Random-effects meta-analysis models were employed to estimate the pooled serum level on angiopoietin 2 level. The data was continuous, we used the mean difference with a 95% confidence interval to assess the estimated effect measure. A leave-one-out meta-analysis was performed to show how each individual study affects the overall estimate by removing one study alternately from the meta-analysis.
Results: Ten studies with 3175 patients met our criteria and were included in our meta-analysis. The serum level of Ang-2 was higher in the HCC group when compared to healthy participants, Chronic liver disease patients or patients with liver cirrhosis.
Ang-2 as a marker was compared between HCC and healthy participants with significant favor for HCC (p=0.00001). The cumulative mean difference was significant at 2.88 (95% CI of 1.87, 3.89). Furthermore, Ang-2 as a marker was compared between HCC and cirrhotic liver patients with significant favor for HCC (p=0.003) with significant mean difference(MD) 2.52 (95% CI of 0.85, 4.18), while when compared between HCC and Chronic liver disease patients revealed a significant favor for HCC (p=0.0002) with MD 1.93 (95% CI of 0.92, 2.93).The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio were 0.79, 0.89, 9.86, and 0.08, respectively. The summary ROC plot showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9816 and Q*=0.9403.
Conclusion: Having both high pooled sensitivity and specificity, serum Ang-2 shows the potential to have a vital role as an independent diagnostic marker in HCC over decades of other biomarkers used.
Doctors Can Step Into the ‘Rough Ground’ with Confidence: Confirmed Route to Cultivate Practical Wisdom in Ethical Decision-Making for the Medical Community
Authors: Malik Aisha. Y. , Conroy Mervyn , Hale Catherine , Turner Chris
Published: September 2022

Background
It has been argued that phronesis (practical wisdom) has been reduced to following guidelines or a sequential algorithm and there is a call from medical practice to be provided with the means to apply phronesis to their decision-making without yet another set of guidelines. The concept of the phronesis virtue offers a way to navigate the complexity of any given situation through the ‘rough ground’ by drawing on acquired wisdom from self and a practice peer group to make good and wise decisions for the people served by the practice. Our research that informs the work to date involved collecting narratives of doctors’ lived experiences that transmit their ‘collective practical wisdom’ of what it means to make ethical decisions. This second paper provides evidence that phronesis can be cultivated within medical practice by using that ‘collective practical wisdom’ in the form of a film series and app as a unique contemporary moral debating resource. Here we summarise the outcomes and impact of a twelve-month evaluation of the application of those resources to medical and other healthcare practices.
Methods
Data collected answered two primary questions:
1. Do these resources work in educational or CPD programmes to support practitioners in cultivating practical wisdom in their ethical decision-making practice?
2. What does it mean to education providers and medical practitioners to be using the resources to enhance ethical decision-making?
Data were collected through open-ended question and interviews. We used the framework approach to analyse the data.
Results
The findings are grouped into subthemes which provided answers to two main themes: 1.impact on practice and 2. impact on education.
Conclusion
The paper evidences that these learning resources make a real difference to practice in terms of improving ethical decision-making for doctors and other healthcare professionals.
The implications are that these unique resources can be used by medical educators and practitioners with confidence that they will make a difference to ethical decision-making for patients and their communities. The wider implications are that other professions, globally, can learn to enhance their ethical decision-making whether that be by using these ‘collective practical wisdom’ resources as a starting point or by developing their own bespoke resources.
Study on the temporal and spatial trend of viral hepatitis in China from 2007 to 2019
Authors: Ming Ke , Zhang Xu , Wu Cui-ping , Ye Xiao-qing , He Hua-zhen , Chen Wei
Published: September 2022

Objective
To understand the temporal and spatial trend of viral hepatitis incidence in China and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis.
Method
Data on viral hepatitis reported in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China (excluding Macau Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan Province) from 2007 to 2019 were collected. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) and annual percentage change (APC) were used to analyze the temporal trend of viral hepatitis. The spatial trend analysis, global spatial autocorrelation, and local spatial autocorrelation were used to analyze the spatial trend of viral hepatitis.
Results
The AAPC of incidence of viral hepatitis in China from 2007 to 2015 showed a downward trend (AAPC2007 − 2019 = -1.4; 95% CI: 2.5, 0.3; P < 0.01). The connection point of the trend curve was 2015. From 2007–2015, the curve showed a significant downward trend (APC2007 − 2015 = -2.51%; 95% CI: -3.6, -1.4; P < 0.01). From 2015–2019, the trend was not statistically significant (APC2015 − 2019 = 0.75%; 95% CI: -2.5, 4.1; P = 0.608). The average incidence rate of viral hepatitis showed a spatial trend of high in the south and low in the north, and high in the west and low in the east. The global spatial autocorrelation from 2007 to 2019 was positive (Moran's I > 0, P < 0.01), showing an aggregated pattern. The local spatial autocorrelation high-high (H-H) aggregated regions include Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, and Guangdong; there is no high-low (H-L) aggregated regions; Low-high (L-H) aggregated regions include Tibet, Shaanxi and Gansu; and low-low (L-L) aggregated regions include Shanghai and Jiangsu.
Conclusion
The temporal change in the incidence of viral hepatitis in China from 2004 to 2019 generally showed a downward trend, but the spatial distribution was still aggregated. The H-H aggregated regions shifted from the northwestern region to the southern region, and regarding prevention and control of viral hepatitis, special attention should be paid to Guangdong and neighboring provinces.

Kinetic and Mechanism of Cellulose Thermal Degradation
Authors: Abolpour Bahador , Abbaslou Hanie
Published: September 2022

Cellulose is one of the biomaterials that have been studied over recent decades due to the many wide applications with the potential to be used extensively as a future material. Flame controlling using cellulose is a key process for fire safety, energy management, and reducing environmental pollution. Therefore, kinetics of the thermal degradation of cellulosic materials is of interesting for researchers. Hence, in the present study, the reaction kinetics of cellulose thermal degradation is investigated using thermogravimetric method at temperature range of 580 to 610 K. Fitting method and model Free are used to obtain the governing mechanism and kinetics parameters of this phenomenon. It is obtained that the mechanism of this degradation process follows the geometrical contraction models. Dependency of the degradation rate on the amount of cellulose is obtained as power functions with 1/2 and 1/3 powers, which indicate the governance of the area and volume contracting mechanisms, respectively. Finally, the activation energy of cellulose degradation is obtained about 18 kJ.mol− 1.
Bivariate binary logistic regression analysis on undernutrition and anemia among under-five children in Rwanda; evidence from 2019/20 Rwanda demographic health survey
Authors: Asmare Abebew Aklog , Agmas Yitateku Adugna
Published: September 2022

Background:In low and middle-income countries such as Rwanda, undernutrition and anemia were major causes of death and morbidity among children under the age of five. Thus, this study aims to conduct a bivariate binary logistic regression model by accounting for the possible dependency of childhood undernutrition and anemia.Methods:The data came from the DHS program's measurement. A total of 3,206 under-five children were involved in this study. A single composite index measure was calculated for stunting, wasting, and underweight using principal component analysis. A bivariate binary logistic regression model is used to assess the association between undernutrition and anemia given the effect of other predictors.Results:Among 3,206 under-five children considered in this study, 1482 (46.2%) and 658 (20.5%) children were agonized by anemia and undernutrition, respectively. Nearly half of the children (48.8%) were female and 83.0% lived in rural areas. Children from urban areas were 0.663 and 0.751 times less likely to be undernourished and anemic, respectively, as compared to children from rural areas, and multiple birth children were more likely to be undernourished and anemic as compared to single-birth children. Children from families with an improved water source were 0.681 and 0.581 times less likely to be anemic and undernourished, respectively, as compared to children from families without an improved water source. The estimated odds of children who had diarrhea were 1.134 and 1.052 times anemic and undernourished, respectively, as compared to children who had no diarrhea.Conclusion:The prevalence of both undernutrition and anemia was high in Rwanda. The following determinants are statistically associated with both childhood undernutrition and anemia: place of residence; source of drinking water; maternal anemia; being a twin; birth size of children; diarrhea; fever; and child age. Policy measures that reduce the burden of undernutrition and anemia can be applied to increase access to health care through providing vital services. Besides, it is better to strengthen the strategies of early recognition and organization of maternal anemia to decrease the prevalence of childhood undernutrition and anemia.
Investigating the asymmetric impact of renewable energy consumption and trade openness for carbon emission abatement: A case of India
Authors: Roy Hiranmoy , Rej Soumen
Published: September 2022

The present study tests the Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) for India incorporating important macro-economic variables - industry value added (IVA) and trade openness that will address how a structural change in the Indian economy (represented by IVA) is affecting environmental conditions along with other macro-economic variables per-capita GDP and renewable energy consumption. In most of the previous studies trade, openness, and industry value added were not included which are the most important variables affecting CO2 emission along with per-capita GDP and renewable energy consumption Most importantly, the asymmetric impact of renewable energy consumption and trade openness in the pathway of carbon neutralization in India has not yet been studied in the existing body of literature. Thus, we have applied a nonlinear ARDL (asymmetric ARDL) test to provide some policy-oriented guidelines in the context of India. The presence of EKC is further established by our study while examining the asymmetric impact of trade openness and renewable energy consumption in the pathway of correction of CO2 emissions over the period of 1970–2019 for India by utilizing non-linear ARDL techniques. The positive shock of renewable energy reduces CO2 emission while the negative shock intensifies emission. Investigating the positive shock of trade openness, it is found that CO2 emission increases the negative shock of trade openness pacifies emission. Structural change in the Indian economy leads exacerbate CO2 emissions both in the short and in long run.

To determine the effectiveness of exogenous pulmonary surfactant (PS) on moderate or severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) in infants and toddlers who need invasive mechanical ventilation support.
Methods
We conducted a multicenter prospective non-randomized control study in 14 tertiary pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) across China from 2016.12.1 to 2021.12.1. Infants and toddlers aged from 29 d to 3 years old with moderate or severe PARDS who needed invasive mechanical ventilation support were included and divided into experimental and controlled groups. In the experimental group, PS with a single dose of 140 mg was used after PARDS onset and it would be used once to thrice with an interval of 8 h according to the improvement of oxygenation index (OI). Patients in both groups received standard care.
Results
101 patients were enrolled, 34 in PS group, 67 in control group. Demographic and baseline clinical data have no statistic differences. Mortality in the PS group is significantly lower (5.9%, 2/34 vs. 31.3%, 21/67, P = 0.004). The OI decrease within 24 hours in patients who use PS thrice is significantly faster than that in the control group [5.9 (2.53,12.73) vs. 2.6 (-2.2, 6.2), P = 0.048]. Subgroup analysis shows that OI improvement within 24 h (0.32 ± 0.21 vs. 0.02 ± 0.45, t = 2.08, P = 0.046) and 72 h [0.37 (0.17, 0.56) vs. 0.03 (-0.31, 0.40), z=-1.885, P = 0.059]is greater in PS-3 group compared to dead patients in control group.
Conclusions
Exogenous PS delivery may improve the pulmonary oxygenation in the acute phase of moderate or severe PARDS among infants and toddlers, thereby further decrease mortality. PS is expensive and should be used properly. Further study is needed to verify the effectiveness of PS in treating PARDS and identify the reasonable administration time and dosage.

Published: September 2022

Crowd analysis is gaining a lot of attention in both the technological and social aspects as the population expands. As certain crowdactivity cannot be assessed easily, These techniques differ dependingon the crowd. Strikes, protests, and other crowded events are commonin overpopulated cities. Parades and other public gatherings providea variety of security challenges. Security forces are frequently enlistedto keep an eye on these issues and ensuring the safety of those whoattend meetings. In these circumstances, ensuring the safety of thosewho attend meetings are challenging . Cutting-edge crowd control methods are necessary for an intelligent surveillance system. The goal of theproposed method is to find crowd analysis subfields, such as anomalydetection, that have not yet been well explored or that seem to beaddressed infrequently. Public data sets for indoor and outdoor useare used to evaluate the proposed system’s bespoke architecture. The Experimental findings demonstrate that the custom architecture performs better than the exixting Architectures.Our aim is to providerecent state-of-the-art algorithms to provide a novel strategy that canhelp with improved crowd surveillance and crowd activity analysis.

In this work, we carried out an extended verification of the 13C‑15N spin‑spin coupling constants as a new structural indicator of nitrogen-containing organic compounds. In this regard, we performed a quantum-chemical calculation of a set of 193 spin-spin coupling values (B3LYP with basis functions 6-311++G(2df,2p)) for the set of all currently known conformationally rigid and structurally fixed nitrogen-containing compounds. Comparison of theoretical relationships with experimental ones shows a statistically significant good or excellent agreement. A parallel analysis of the variability of the calculated values of 13C‑15N spin bonds with the variability of experimental data within groups of related compounds turned out to be practically useful. The approach we have developed can be used to perfectly reasonable determine the signs of the 13C‑15N spin-spin interaction constants. It can also provide important additional information for assigning 13C peaks in cases where this cannot be done using standard NMR spectroscopy techniques.

Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain one of the leading causes of mortality in breast cancer survivors. This study aimed to investigate the association between body composition and subsequent CVDs in breast cancer survivors.Methods: A retrospective cohort study of more than 70 thousand 5-year breast cancer survivors aged 40 years or older was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea. Based on the percentage of predicted lean body mass (pLBMP), appendicular skeletal muscle mass (pASMP), and body fat mass (pBFMP), which were calculated using prediction equations with anthropometric data and health habits, groups were equally divided into quartiles. The risk of CVD was evaluated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression.Results: Compared to those with the lowest pLBMP and pASMP, those with the highest pLBMP and pASMP had a 37% and 42% lower risk of CVDs, respectively. In contrast, those with the highest pBFMP had a 57% higher risk of CVDs compared to those with the lowest pBFMP. Each 1 % increase in pLBMP and pASMP was associated with a decreased risk of CVDs [pLBMP, adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.96, 95% CI 0.94–0.98, p<0.05; pASMP, aHR: 0.91, 95% CI 0.87–0.95, p<0.05] while each 1 % increase in pBFMP was associated with the increased risk of CVDs (aHR: 1.05, 95% CI 1.03–1.07, p<0.01). Conclusions: In this cohort study, high pLBMP, a high pASMP, and a low pBFMP were associated with reduced risk of CVDs.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), termed pediatric ARDS (pARDS) in children, is a severe form of acute respiratory failure (ARF) that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pathologic immune responses have been implicated in the development of pARDS. Here, we present a unique description of microbial sequencing and single cell gene expression in tracheal aspirates (TAs) obtained longitudinally from infants admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with ARF. Important alterations in TA epithelial cell, mononuclear phagocyte (MNP), and neutrophil transcription were associated with subjects’ illness severity, etiology (of ARF), and sampling time point. Specifically, in patients with moderate to severe pARDS compared to those with no to mild pARDS we identified reduced interferon stimulated gene (ISG) and cytokine expression in epithelial cells, reduced development over time of a regulatory IL-10 expressing macrophage population, and progressive airway neutrophilia associated with a unique transcriptional profile in aged neutrophils. In addition, we incorporated viral capture sequencing (ViroCap) with single cell transcriptomic analysis to explore interactions between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and host cells in infected and bystander epithelia. Our findings indicate that pARDS is defined by distinct inflammatory cell profiles that are etiology- and severity-dependent and implicate inadequate induction of ISGs, cytokines/chemokines, and repair-associated macrophage transcriptional programs in the pathogenesis of moderate to severe pARDS.

Research related to motor skill learning has provided an important insight into which instructional methods are effective. Recent research has shown that the combination of autonomy and external focus of attention may benefit learning outcomes; however, there is not enough strong evidence in this respect. The study sought to examine effects of attentional focus instructions and combined effects of autonomy (choice) and external focus of attention on the learning of a standing korfball shot. One hundred and seven postgraduate students of physical education (40 females and 67 males, age = 22.57) took part in the study. They were randomly assigned to one of four practice groups: external focus (E), internal focus (I), self-regulated (S) and self-regulated external (SE). During the acquisition phase, all participants completed a total of 150 trials, with 50 trials (5 sets x 10 repetitions) completed during each session. The results of the between-group comparison for shooting accuracy demonstrated no significant differences. The present findings suggest that external focus of attention benefits motor learning and performance. We did not reveal additive advantages for motor learning when comparing combined effects of external focus and autonomy support with each of these conditions administered separately.

Purpose:This study aims to explore a radiomics model based on lumbar spine CT imaging for detecting osteoporosis.
Method:A retrospective analysis of 170 patients who underwent both CT and dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine in our hospital.According to the DXA results of these patients, 50 patients were normal, 50 patients had osteopenia, and 70 patients had osteoporosis.A total of 851 radiomic features were extracted from the images of the segmentation images in the lumbar CT imaging and the most significant radiomic features were selected to establish fourclassification models: normal vs osteoporosis , normal vs osteopenia, osteopenia vs osteoporosis，normal vs abnormal patients.The estimated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve（ROC）was used to assess the effectiveness of the classification models.
Results :The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.942 (95% CI, 0.919-0.964) and 0.933 (95% CI, 0.896-0.971) for the model of normal vs.osteoporosis in the training and validation cohorts, respectively; 0.738 (95% CI, 0. 683-0.792) and 0.749 (95% CI, 0.663- 0.835) for the model of normal vs. Osteopenia ;0.822 (95% CI, 0.778-0.865) and 0.777 (95% CI, 0.700-0.853) for the model of osteopenia vs. Osteoporosis；0.867(95% CI, 0.833-0.900) and 0.825 (95% CI, 0.768-0.882) for the model of normal vs. abnormal.
Conclusion: Radiomics based on lumbar CT imaging has great application value in diagnosing abnormal bone mineral density（BMD）.
