Authors: Vijaykumar Prabhu Sathya , P.S Vishnu , V.K Vishnu
Published: October 2022

Background : Post-operative hypocalcemia is a common and usually a transient event after
thyroidectomy due to iatrogenic injury to the parathyroid glands. Most of the studies had investigated the
frequency of surgical complications in Total thyroidectomy patients. Unfortunately, very few studies had investigated about the
hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism frequency in near total thyroidectomy patients post-surgically Aims: . We carried out
this study to evaluate the hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism frequency in thyroid disorder patients who underwent near
total thyroidectomy. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 202 patients who underwent near-total thyroidectomy
at our institution from May 2017 to April 2022. Institutional Ethical committee approval was taken and Waiver of consent was
taken from the head of the surgery department before the data collection. Post near-thyroidectomy patients who were above 18
years old with normal preoperative serum calcium levels (i.e., 8.4-10.2µL) were included. The patients who underwent subtotal
thyroidectomy, thyroidectomy with neck dissection, hemi-thyroidectomy, concurrent lymph nodes dissection, complete
thyroidectomy following hemi-thyroidectomy, parathyroid auto transplantation and those who received calcium
supplementation before surgery were excluded from the study. Therefore, medical records of 478 patients were reviewed and
nally 202 patients were included in the study who fullled both the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusion: The results
obtained conrm that transient hypocalcemia can be observed after any operation; and particularly responsible is the
decrease of the calcium concerning the proteins. We found that post-operative hypoparathyroidism is due to injury to the
parathyroid glands (parathyroid ischaemia or surgical ablation of one or more glands). Here we see the delayed serum
calcium level < or = 7.5 mg/dl or the delayed serum phosphorous level > 7.4 mg/dl. The results of our study, with 2 patients
presenting transient post-operative hypoparathyroidism, contribute in conrming that the extracapsular total thyroidectomy
aimed to reduce any injury to the parathyroid and to the recurrent nerves, represent the better operation also for the extended
benignant thyroidopathies.
RIS aided Physical Layer Key Generation of IoT network in Static Environments
Authors: Yang Jie , Ji Xinsheng , Huang Kaizhi , niu ge , zhao jianlei
Published: October 2022

Physical layer secret key generation schemes can provide lightweight encryption for resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, many IoT devices are stationary and the environment is usually static, which leads to ultra-low/zero secret key rates. To circumvent this problem, a novel secret key generation scheme based on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)  is  proposed for Multiple-Input Single-Output  IoT communications. The RIS is introduced into the network, and the phase shifts at RIS are tuned randomly in each frame, which  makes time-varying reflection channels superimposed on the original channels. And then, the secret key capacity of all nodes within the cell coverage area can be remarkably improved. Compared with the existing methods, the scheme is loosely coupled with the existing communication system. The closed-form expressions of secret key capacity taking into account eavesdropping are first derived for the case studies of independent and correlated channels. We can conclude that sharing the same phase shifts randomness will not bring key information leakage. Compared with existing user-introduced randomness schemes, the proposed scheme can  maintain good performance as the number of eavesdropping nodes increases. Further,  the impact of parameters, such as the number of reflecting units, the transmit antennas, and the Rician   factor, on secret key performance are  analyzed respectively, which can offer guidelines for system design. Finally, simulation results verify the theoretical analysis.

Published: October 2022

This article describes a reference data set for a representative Norwegian radial, medium voltage (MV) electric power distribution system operated at 22 kV. The data set is developed in the Norwegian research centre CINELDI and will in brief be referred to as the CINELDI MV reference system.

Data for a real Norwegian distribution system were provided by a distribution grid company. The data have been anonymized and processed to obtain a simplified but still realistic grid model with 124 nodes. The data set consists of the following three parts:

1. Grid data files: describe the base version of the reference system that represents the present-day state of the grid, including information about topology, electrical parameters, and existing load points.

2. Load data files: comprise load demand time series for a year with hourly resolution and scenarios for the possible long-term development of peak load. These data describe an extended version of the reference system with information about possible new load points being added to the system in the future.

3. Reliability data files: contain data necessary for carrying out reliability of supply analyses for the system. 
Multi-Probe Array Design for Partially-Coherent Phase Retrieval in Near-Field Measurements
Authors: Kornprobst Jonas , Paulus Alexander , Knapp Josef , Eibert Thomas F.
Published: October 2022

Phase retrieval, in particular for the operators arising from near-field measurements, is a non-convex task suffering from a severe lack of reliability due to local minima and false solutions. Approaches to tackle this issue, in turn, suffer from strict and often unrealistic oversampling requirements and possibly unfeasible computational complexities—in particular when larger scenarios are considered. In this paper, we analyze the sampling requirements for convex phase retrieval based on partially coherent observations which are captured with multi-probe arrays. We discuss requirements for the orientation and positioning of the probe antennas in the probe arrays. Following these conditions, a recently introduced linearized method is able to reconstruct a unique global solution reliably. The theoretical deliberations are corroborated with simulated near-field data.
Comparing Effectiveness of Image Perturbation and Test-retest Imaging Towards Establishment of Reliable Radiomic Models
Authors: Jiang ZHANG
Published: October 2022

Image perturbation is the promising technique to assess radiomic feature repeatability without test-retest imaging. However, whether it can achieve the same effect on model reliability enhancement as test-retest imaging is unknown. This study aimed to compare radiomic model reliability based on repeatable features determined by image perturbation and test-retest imaging. A 191-patient public breast cancer dataset with 71 test-retest scans was used with pre-determined 117 training and 74 testing samples. We collected apparent diffusion coefficient images and the manually segmented tumor structures for radiomic feature extraction and pathological complete response record for model prediction. Random translations, rotations, and contour randomizations were performed on the training images, and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to quantify feature repeatability. After removing volume correlated features, multiple ICC thresholds were applied for repeatable feature filtering, and separate logistic-regression models were developed using 5 most relevant and independent features. We evaluated model reliability in both generalizability and robustness, which were quantified by training and testing area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and prediction ICC under perturbation and test-retest. Higher testing performance was found at higher ICC thresholds, but it dropped significantly at ICC=0.95 for the test-retest model. Similar optimal reliability can be achieved with testing AUC = 0.76-0.77 and prediction ICC>0.9 at the ICC threshold of 0.9. It is recommended to include feature repeatability analysis using image perturbation in any radiomic study when test-retest is not feasible, but care should be taken when deciding the optimal feature repeatability criteria.

Deep Domain Adaptation Enhances Amplification Curve Analysis for Single-Channel Multiplexing in Real-Time PCR
Authors: Mao Ye , Xu Ke , Miglietta Luca , Kreitmann Louis , Moser Nicolas , Georgiou Pantelis , Holmes Alison , Rodriguez-Manzano Jesus
Published: October 2022

Data-driven approaches for molecular diagnostics are emerging as an alternative to perform an accurate and inexpensive multi-pathogen detection. A novel technique called Amplification Curve Analysis (ACA) has been recently developed by coupling machine learning and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) to enable the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a single reaction well. However, target classification purely relying on the amplification curve shapes currently faces several challenges, such as distribution discrepancies between different data sources of synthetic DNA and clinical samples (i.e., training vs testing). Optimisation of computational models is required to achieve higher performance of ACA classification in multiplex qPCR through the reduction of those discrepancies. Here, we proposed a novel transformer-based conditional domain adversarial network (T-CDAN) to eliminate data distribution differences between the source domain (synthetic DNA data) and the target domain (clinical isolate data). The labelled training data from the source domain and unlabelled testing data from the target domain are fed into the T-CDAN, which learns both domains’ information simultaneously. After mapping the inputs into a domain-irrelevant space, T-CDAN removes the feature distribution differences and provides a clearer decision boundary for the classifier, resulting in a more accurate pathogen identifi- cation. Evaluation of 198 clinical isolates containing three types of carbapenem-resistant genes (blaNDM , blaIMP and blaOXA-48 ) illustrates a curve-level accuracy of 93.1% and a sample- level accuracy of 97.0% using T-CDAN, showing an accuracy improvement of 20.9% and 4.9% respectively, compared with previous methods. This research emphasises the importance of deep domain adaptation to enable high-level multiplexing in a single qPCR reaction, providing a solid approach to extend qPCR instruments’ capabilities without hardware modification in real- world clinical applications. 
Liquid Crystals: The way to Scalable and Practical Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces in 6G

Published: October 2022

With the rise of models describing the potential and limitations of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) in wireless communication and sensing channels, numerous hardware solutions are being developed. The most common solutions are based on varactors, Positive-Intrinsic-Negative (PIN) diodes, and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).  Recently, several works on 1-bit nematic Liquid Crystal (LC) RISs have been published. This paper presents the use of LC technology for the realization of continuously tunable mm-Wave RISs to address the increasing interest in this technology.  Starting from basic LC theory, we introduce two different realization methods, the reflectarray and the phased array method.  Comparing LC technology to the competing technologies, we see that the main advantage is the low cost of large panels, followed by a low-power consumption.  However, there are some challenges that the LC technology faces such as its impedance matching, its biasing, and tuning times in the order of 10s of ms. With this in mind, we analyze for which applications LC-based RISs are best suited. 
Evaluation of Urban Air Quality Monitoring Stations in Ulsan using Geographic Information System
Authors: Choi Sung-Deuk
Published: October 2022

To manage particulate matter (PM2.5) in Ulsan, this study evaluated the current status of the emissions and concentrations of PM2.5 and the number and spatial distribution of urban air quality monitoring stations (AQMSs). The major emission sources of PM2.5 in Ulsan are industrial activities (production process, manufacturing combustion, and ships), and the annual mean concentration of PM 2.5 in Ulsan is not higher than those in other large megacities. However, the toxicity of PM2.5 in Ulsan seems to be high owing to the presence of hazardous air pollutants. Although the AQMSs in Ulsan have been well operated, and the number of stations is sufficient, further evaluation of the roles and spatial distribution of some of these stations is required. This study proposed the priority areas for installing new AQMSs using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools based on the population distribution and PM2.5 pollution levels. The method developed in this study can be used for other cities, as well as for expanding urban areas and new downtown areas in Ulsan to assess the existing monitoring network and suggest the optimum locations of new stations.
Ética do cuidado e alteridade na sociedade do cansaço de Byung-Chul Han
Authors: De Oliveira Bernabé Matiel , De Oliveira Marques Victor Hugo
Published: October 2022

The research theme is otherness. It seeks to answer the following questions: how has the loss of otherness manifested itself on the model of society in which we live? How to resolve this loss? The hypothesis is: otherness has been attacked and weakened by the model of society that prioritizes production and performance, displacing its individuals from their ethical responses and their commitments to themselves. The research aims to show how the society of performance and production, as described by the South Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han in his work Society of Tiredness, contributes to the visualization of the weakening of otherness and how this same society can offer indications to retrieve it. The method is the Literature Review, which will have as data collection the works Philosophy of Care, by Luigina Mortari; Society of Tiredness and What is Power?, by Byung-Chul Han; as well as other references of relevance to the research. The research will be developed in three parts: First, it will be explained how otherness and ethics are in convergence, presenting the way in which phenomenology has seen the human being as a being-of-care. Secondly, it will show that Han, when he sets out to describe the society of performance and production, touches precisely on the problem of the loss or weakening of otherness. Finally, the article wants to show that the loss of otherness is related to the absence of a society that thinks about itself again.

“Acho brega esse negócio de ser macho”
Authors: Baliscei João Paulo , Souza Ana Carolina
Published: October 2022

Gender relations strongly established by and in economic, cultural and labor sectors contributed to the fact that, in contemporary times, embroidery was associated with the feminine. School and curricular practices also favor a certain distance between masculinity and embroidery. In view of this, we ask: What dialogues can be established between masculinities and art, in a perspective that values ​​embroidery beyond artisanal work? To answer this question, in this article, we theoretically rely on Gender Studies and Masculinity Studies, thinking about them in articulation with Education. We aim to analyze how the gendered aspects of embroidery cross the contemporary artistic production of male artists. For this, structurally, we organize the discussion into two topics. In the first, we discuss the educational and pedagogical aspects of gender learning, emphasizing masculinities. In the second, we present an analysis of two artistic series made by the carioca artist Fábio Carvalho (1965--), namely: Em sendo patente…(2012) and Monarca (2012). Finally, in the considerations, we highlight the pedagogical character of visual artifacts and, based on the works of Fábio Carvalho, we argue about the need to rethink the images offered to children, including those involved in school practices.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Pediatric-onset MS (POMS), defined as onset of MS before 18 years of age, is estimated to account for 2% to 5% of the MS population worldwide.

Objectives: To conduct a literature review focused on the healthcare resource utilization and cost as well as quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes among patients with POMS.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of English-language studies published after September 2010 in MEDLINE and Embase to describe the global economic healthcare resource utilization and costs and humanistic (QOL) burden in patients with POMS.

Results: We found 11 studies that reported on healthcare resource utilization, cost, or insurance coverage and 36 studies that reported on QOL outcomes in patients with POMS. Patients with POMS had higher rates of primary care visits (1.41 [1.29-1.54]), hospital visits (10.74 [8.95-12.90]), and admissions (rate ratio, 4.27 [2.92-6.25];OR, 15.2 [12.0-19.1]) compared with healthy controls. Mean per-patient costs in the United States were $5907 across all settings per year of follow-up between 2002 and 2012; mean costs per hospital stay were $38 543 (in 2015 USD) between 2004 and 2013. Three studies reported psychosocial scores between 71.59 and 79.7, and 8 studies reported physical health scores between 74.62 to 82.75 using the Pediatric Quality of Life Measurement Model (PedsQLTM). Twelve studies used the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale. Mean scores on the self-reported general fatigue scale ranged from 63.15 to 78.5. Quality-of-life scores were lower than those of healthy controls.

Discussion: Our review presents a uniquely broad and recent overview of the global economic and humanistic burden of patients with POMS. Additional research on healthcare resource utilization and cost would provide a more robust understanding of the economic burden in this population.

Conclusions: Healthcare resource utilization and costs are high in this population, and patients report reduced QOL and significant fatigue compared with healthy children and adolescents.

Methodical codification of “Gharib ul Hadith” books started during second century. Abu Ubaida Mua‘mmar bin Muthanna, an Iraqi scholar, pioneered the field. Afterwards numerous scholars have written books on “Gharib ul Hadith” but they followed different methodologies for their compositions. Some of them have written Hadith's disorderly, and then explained all Gharib words appearing in the Hadith. This method appears in most part of their writings. Some of the scholars have observed jurisprudential method for their creations. Others followed methodology of explaining Gharibwords by organizing Hadith's; first from Prophet Muhammad, then from sahabas (companions of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w), and finally from Taba’een (immediate followers). However, some sorted Hadith in alphabetical order. This research article presented a detailed analytical review of different methodologies adopted in famous “Gharib ul Hadith” Books.
