Comparison of clinical outcomes of progesterone-primed ovarian stimulation using different doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate in POSEIDON group 3 and 4: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Wang Shaoyu , Huang Min , Chen Lihong
Published: June 2023

To compare the clinical outcomes and endocrinological characteristics of
progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol using
medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 8mg versus 4-6mg daily in POSEIDON
group 3 and 4. This was a retrospective cohort study. Low-prognosis
women from POSEIDON group 3 and 4 using MPA high-dose(8mg/d) or
low-dose(4-6mg/d) in PPOS protocol who underwent IVF/ICSI at the
Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian
Medical University from February 2019 to February 2022 were recruited.
The primary outcome measure was the incidence of premature LH surge. The
secondary outcome measures included the embryo results and clinical
pregnancy outcomes. Baseline characteristics of patients were similar in
the MPA high-dose(8mg/d) group and MPA low-dose(4-6mg/d) group both in
POSEIDON group 3 and group 4. In POSEIDON group 3, there was no
significant difference in the incidences of LH surge between the
high-dose group and the low-dose group (11.1% vs. 6.8%). No
significant differences were observed in the number of oocytes retrieved
(4(3,6.25) vs. 5(3,7)), viable embryos (2(1,3) vs. 1(1,3)), clinical
pregnancy rate (52.3% vs. 52.5%) and live birth rate (43.2% vs
42.5%) per transfer cycle between the groups. In POSEIDON group 4, the
incidence of LH surge was similar between the high-dose group and the
low-dose group (6.9% vs. 6.3%). No significant differences were found
in the number of oocytes retrieved (3(2,5) vs. 3(2,5)), viable embryos
(2(1,2) vs. 1(0,2)), clinical pregnancy rate(34.6% vs 31.9%) and live
birth rate(17.3% vs 21.3%) per transfer cycle between two groups. MPA
started at 4mg daily and then increased to 6mg daily was as effective as
MPA 8mg daily in preventing an untimely LH rise in low-prognosis women
from POSEIDON group 3 and 4. PPOS using MPA 8mg or 4-6mg daily was
comparable in terms of the number of oocytes retrieved and pregnancy
outcomes after FET.
Management of pleural effusion and empyema in a third-level pediatric surgical center: what has changed after the introduction of a new diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm?
Authors: Boscarelli Alessandro , Gentile Lucrezia , Giangreco Manuela , Guida Edoardo , Scarpa Maria-Grazia , Olenik Damiana , Schleef Jürgen , Codrich Daniela
Published: June 2023

Background: Pleural effusion and empyema are frequent
complications of acute bacterial pneumonia in children. To date,
evidence regarding the optimal treatment of this condition is limited in
the literature. Methods: Patients with pleural effusion and
empyema admitted at our Pediatric Surgery Department over the last ten
years were enrolled in this retrospective study, and successively
compared with the clinical charts of patients treated before the
introduction of a new diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm.
Results: After the introduction of the new algorithm there were
a decrease in the use of chest radiography for re-evaluation (100% vs.
79%, p = 0.003), a more focused use of CT (68% vs. 15%, p = 0.001),
and a decrease in the use of a second CT (18% vs. 3%, p = 0.07); in
favor of an increase in the use of the US scan (40%vs 100%, p=0.001).
There was also a shift from the use of chest tube drainage alone to the
use of drainage for Urokinase administration (50% vs. 92.3%, p =
0.001), and a statistically significant decrease in the need for
video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (25% vs. 7.7%, p = 0.001).
Conclusions: The introduction of a diagnostic and therapeutic
algorithm for the management of pediatric pleural effusion and empyema
has notably resulted in a decrease in the utilization of radiography and
computed tomography and an increase in the use of ultrasonography,
reducing unnecessary radiation exposure in children and overall costs.
Validation of the 2D-VAR lidar retrieval algorithm for non-homogeneous wind fields using FINO1 and SCADA data
Authors: Krutova Maria , Bakhoday-Paskyabi Mostafa , Reuder Joachim
Published: June 2023

A scanning lidar measures a projection of the actual wind speed to the
line-of-sight. Reconstruction of the original field is possible via
various retrieval algorithms, especially if several lidars are deployed
in the area. However, this may not be the case due to financial
constraints. Additionally, conventional algorithms like Volume Velocity
Processing (VVP) do not perform well for non-homogeneous flow fields,
e.g., smooth wind turbine wakes in a retrieved field. A 2D-VAR algorithm
using VVP as an intermediate step was suggested allowing the retrieval
for consecutive scans at a low elevation angle. We validate this
algorithm for scans containing prominent wakes under elevation angles
within 5° using FINO1 mast and supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) data. We show that prominent wakes scanned at the hub height
introduce substantial disturbances in the VVP retrieval output and
affect the retrieved field. The unwanted disturbance may be overcome by
masking the wakes. In point measurements, the wind speed magnitude is
retrieved with an acceptable accuracy, but the wind direction appears to
be sensitive to the weights and initial guess chosen. According to our
sensitivity analysis, the weight assigned to the radial velocity
residuals affects the outcome most, while other weights act as
corrections.
An autonomous UAV system based on adaptive LiDAR Inertial Odometry for practical exploration in complex environments
Authors: Kim Boseong , Azhari Maulana Bisyir , Park Jaeyong , Shim David Hyuncul
Published: June 2023

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer many advantages over
ground vehicles, including quadruped robots, based on high
maneuverability when performing exploration in complex and unknown
environments. However, due to their limited computational capability,
UAVs require light-weight but accurate state estimation algorithms for
reliable exploration. In this paper, we propose an segmented map based
exploration system based on LiDAR-based state estimation for UAVs. The
proposed system includes capabilities such as exploration, obstacle
avoidance, and object detection with localization using 3D dense maps
generated by tightly coupled LiDAR Inertial Odometry (LIO). Our proposed
system is a hybrid system that can switch between guided and exploration
modes, making it practical for search and rescue missions in disaster
scenarios. The proposed LIO algorithm adapts to its surroundings,
allowing for fast and accurate state estimation in complex environments.
The proposed exploration algorithm is designed to cover specific regions
in the 3D dense map generated by proposed LIO, with the UAV determining
if map points are included within the coverage area. We tested the
proposed system in both simulation and real-world environments and
validated that proposed system outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms
in various aspects such as localization accuracy and exploration
efficiency in complex environments.
WELL: Applying Bug Detectors to Bug Localization via Weakly Supervised Learning
Authors: Li Zhuo , Zhang Huangzhao , Li Jia , Jin Zhi , Li Ge
Published: June 2023

Bug localization, which is used to help programmers identify the
location of bugs in source code, is an essential task in software
development. Researchers have already made efforts to harness the
powerful deep learning (DL) techniques to automate it. However, training
bug localization model is usually challenging because it requires a
large quantity of data labeled with the bug’s exact location, which is
difficult and time-consuming to collect. By contrast, obtaining bug
detection data with binary labels of whether there is a bug in the
source code is much simpler. This paper proposes a WEakly supervised bug
LocaLization (WELL) method, which only uses the bug detection data with
binary labels to train a bug localization model. With CodeBERT finetuned
on the buggy-or-not binary labeled data, WELL can address bug
localization in a weakly supervised manner. The evaluations on three
method-level synthetic datasets and one file-level real-world dataset
show that WELL is significantly better than the existing SOTA model in
typical bug localization tasks such as variable misuse and other
programming bugs.
Bioinspired radiative cooling coating with high emittance and robust self-cleaning for sustainably efficient heat dissipation
Authors: Li Yong , Song Yingnan , Zu Hongye , Yang Hui , Dai Wei , Meng Jingxin , Jiang Lei
Published: June 2023

To overcome the overheating phenomena of electronic devices and energy
components, developing advanced energy-free cooling coatings with
promising radiative property seem an effective and energy-saving way.
However, the further application of these coatings is greatly limited by
their sustainability because of their fragile and easy contamination.
Herein, we report that a bioinspired radiative cooling coating (BRCC)
displayed sustainably efficient heat dissipation by the combination of
high emittance and robust self-cleaning property. With hierarchical
porous structure constructed by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs),
modified SiO2 and FSi resin, the involvement of the BRCC improves the
cooling performance by increasing ca. 25% total heat transfer
coefficient. During the abrasion and soiling tests, the robust
self-cleaning capability endows BRCC-coated Al alloy heat sink with
stable radiative cooling performance. Moreover, the simulation and
experimental results both revealed that reducing surface coverage of
BRCC (ca. 80.9 %) can still keep highly cooling efficiency, leading to
a cost-effective avenue. Therefore, this study may guide the design and
fabrication of advanced radiative cooling coating.
Plant roots link stronger with microorganisms in leaf litter rather than soil across tropical land-use systems
Authors: Zhou Zheng , Lu Jing-Zhong , Widyastuti Rahayu , Scheu Stefan , Potapov Anton , Krashevska Valentyna
Published: June 2023

Tropical soil microorganisms are major recyclers of biosphere organic
carbon. However, the link of tropical microorganisms to the two primary
carbon inputs (roots and litter) remains unclear. Here, we studied the
effects of excluding living roots and litter on microorganisms in leaf
litter and topsoil in rainforests and plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia.
Unexpectedly, excluding living roots strongly decreased microbial
biomass and basal respiration in litter but not in soil, indicating that
tropical trees prioritize mining for nutrients in litter layer rather
than mineral soil. Contrary to litter, soil microbial communities were
predominantly influenced by long-term factors related to land-use
history. Litter removal neither significantly affected microbial biomass
nor community structure in soil, suggesting compartmentalized carbon
processing between litter and soil. Our study sheds new light on
fundamental-ecosystem processes in the tropics and calls for greater
consideration of the litter layer and for including root-derived
resources in global carbon cycling models.
Prediction of protein interactions is essential for studying biomolecular mechanisms
Authors: Vakser Ilya
Published: June 2023

Structural characterization of protein interactions is essential for our
ability to understand and modulate physiological processes.
Computational approaches to modeling of protein complexes provide
structural information that far exceeds capabilities of the existing
experimental techniques. Protein structure prediction in general, and
prediction of protein interactions in particular, has been
revolutionized by the rapid progress in Deep Learning techniques. The
work of Schweke et al. presents a community-wide study of an important
problem of distinguishing physiological protein-protein
complexes/interfaces (experimentally determined or modeled) from
non-physiological ones. The authors designed and generated a large
benchmark set of physiological and non-physiological homodimeric
complexes, and evaluated a large set of scoring functions, as well as
AlphaFold predictions, on their ability to discriminate the
non-physiological interfaces. The problem of separating physiological
interfaces from non-physiological ones is very difficult, largely due to
the lack of a clear distinction between the two categories in a crowded
environment inside a living cell. Still, the ability to identify key
physiologically significant interfaces in the variety of possible
configurations of a protein-protein complex is important. The study
presents a major data resource and methodological development in this
important direction for molecular and cellular biology.
The synergistic effects of a leaf mixture on decomposition change with a period of terrestrial exposure prior to immersion in a stream
Authors: Abelho Manuela , Descals Enrique
Published: June 2023

The effect of mixing litter on decomposition has received considerable
attention in terrestrial and aquatic (but rarely in both) ecosystems,
with a striking lack of consensus in the obtained results. We studied
the decomposition of a mixture of poplar and alder in three
terrestrial:aquatic exposures to determine (1) if the effect of mixing
litter on mass loss, associated decomposers and detritivores differs
between the stream (fully aquatic exposure) and when litter is exposed
to a period of terrestrial exposure prior to immersion and (2) the
global effect of the mixture across exposure scenarios. The effect of
the mixture was additive on mass loss and synergistic on decomposers and
detritivores across exposure scenarios. Within scenarios, mass loss and
decomposers showed synergistic effects only in the fully aquatic
exposure, detritivores showed synergistic effects only when the period
of terrestrial was shorter than the period of aquatic exposure, and when
the period of terrestrial was equal to the period of aquatic exposure
the effect of the mixture was additive on mass loss, decomposers, and
detritivores. The species-specific effects also differed among exposure
scenarios. Alder affected poplar only when there was a period of
terrestrial exposure, with increased sporulation rates and fungal
richness in exposure 25:75, and increased mass loss in exposure 50:50.
Poplar affected alder only under fully aquatic exposure, with increased
mass loss. In conclusion, the synergistic effects of the mixture changed
with a period of terrestrial exposure prior to immersion. These results
provide a cross-boundary perspective on the effect of mixing litter,
showing a legacy effect of exposure to terrestrial decomposition on the
fate of plant litter in aquatic ecosystems and highlighting the
importance of assessing the effect of mixing litter on the associated
biota and not only on mass loss.

Authors: Rodríguez Vera Montserrat , Figueroa-Varela Marlen , Muñoz Salazar Luisa Patricia
Published: June 2023

La psicología ha constatado que las creencias en las propias capacidades tienen relación con el desempeño, por lo que cobra relevancia estudiar la percepción de autoeficacia en educación superior. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la relación entre autoeficacia académica, desempeño (Notas de Enseñanza Media o NEM, Prueba de Transición Universitaria o PTU, expectativas de aprobación) en estudiantes universitarios considerando el tipo de acceso a la educación superior en contexto de pandemia. El estudio fue cuantitativo, transversal con un muestreo por conveniencia. La muestra fue de 780 estudiantes chilenos dividida en un grupo de acceso regular 82.7% y el grupo proinclusión 17.3%. Se utilizó la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas (EAPESA) y medidas de desempeño académico. Los datos se analizaron mediante técnicas descriptivas, prueba t para muestra independiente, correlación de Pearson y análisis de varianza ANOVA de una vía. Los resultados indican que existen diferencias entre autoeficacia y medidas de desempeño según tipo de acceso a la universidad. El grupo de acceso proinclusión presentó mayor autoeficacia, mayor NEM y menor PTU. Ambos grupos presentan similares expectativas de aprobación. Se concluye que la autoeficacia difiere según vía de acceso a la universidad y según medidas de desempeño. Estudiantes con mayor autoeficacia presentan mayores expectativas de aprobación pese a las adversidades.

Published: June 2023

En el ámbito laboral, algunas condiciones basadas en estereotipos sociales promueven la obstaculización para que una mujer trabajadora acceda a las mismas oportunidades de desarrollo profesional; por ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue crear y validar la Escala Techo de Cristal. Se realizó un estudio empírico instrumental con una muestra no probabilística de 203 mujeres mexicanas, que trabajaban durante la pandemia por COVID-19. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio y Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio arrojaron valores de índice de ajuste aceptables (NFI = .832, TLI = .900, CFI = .918, y RMSEA = .62) y con un coeficiente de confiabilidad de α = .816. La escala quedó conformada por 15 reactivos en tres factores: Sobrecarga, Techo de Cristal y Balance Familia-Trabajo, siendo el modelo de tres factores la estructura idónea para medir el constructo. Los resultados brindan evidencia de que el instrumento cuenta con las propiedades psicométricas para ser utilizado en la población de estudio y con ello generar diagnósticos confiables que deriven en estrategias organizacionales para visibilizar y de ser posible erradicar este fenómeno.

Published: June 2023

El confinamiento por COVID-19 ocasionó que las familias se enfrentaran al proceso del estudio en el hogar, mediante la enseñanza remota. El rol que juega la familia en el proceso de aprendizaje, sin embargo, históricamente ha depositado en la escuela la mayor responsabilidad. Este estudio analizó cómo las familias se dispusieron para fomentar el aprendizaje autorregulado en el hogar de los niños, niñas y adolescentes en tiempos de COVID-19. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo correlacional, donde participaron 65 familias de niños, niñas y adolescentes de las Regiones del Biobío y Ñuble, las cuales respondieron un cuestionario parental sobre promoción del aprendizaje autorregulado y preguntas sociodemográficas. Los hallazgos permitieron inferir que cuando las familias se sienten capaces de fomentar el estudio, se disponen a ello, emplean estrategias cognitivas, buscan ayuda cuando lo necesitan y evalúan la planificación del estudio y aprendizaje de manera media y/o alta. Este tipo de estudios aporta al vacío teórico evidenciado en la literatura acerca del rol educativo de la familia durante la pandemia; asimismo, contribuye a reflexionar sobre las estrategias que emplean las familias para colaborar con el aprendizaje de sus niñas, niños y adolescentes.
Credibility of legalization: Illegally constructed buildings in Serbia
Authors: Zekovic Slavka , Petovar Ksenija
Published: June 2023

The paper analyses the credibility of the legalization policies regarding illegally constructed buildings (ICBs) in Serbia in the socialist and post-socialist periods. It introduces the conceptual framework of the credibility thesis concerning informal institutions in an empirical examination of the credibility of legalization policy measures in Serbia. The analysis identifies the main causes of vast illegal construction, and the types and credibility of planning measures and legalization policies, using the Credibility thesis as a breakthrough in planning practice. The findings show the failure of planning and the non-credibility of legalization policies, as well as the survival of ICBs as an autonomous form of property rights.
On the relation between philosophy and theology in Thomas Aquinas
Authors: Milidrag Predrag
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes the relation between philosophy and theology in Thomas
Aquinas in the context of the difference between the light of active
intellect and the light of faith. The light of faith perfects and
strengthens natural light; because of that, natural reason is subservient to
the higher light of faith, cannot contradict it and has to submit to it.
Theology uses the first principles of reason that are the presuppositions of
all thinking; faith and theological reflection correct reason and defend it
against its inherent destructive tendencies, because it is undermined by the
sin. Theology uses philosophy for the sake of greater clarity as well as for
the articulation of revealed mysteries in a consistent system. Also, the
function of philosophy is, with the help of the philosophical models, to
reach some remote conceptual similarity between the mysteries of faith and
the conceptions of natural reason.
Deleuze’s philosophy of language
Authors: Micic Nemanja
Published: June 2023

This paper analyzes the possibility of outlining a certain kind of philosophy
of language, whose frameworks and contours can be recognized within a
broader specter of Deleuze?s oeuvre. Even though the French thinker is not
someone whose name we often associate with any kind of notion concerning a
discipline such as philosophy of language, the paper aims at presenting that
the philosophy of language is implicitly present within Deleuze?s writings,
nevertheless. As a backbone to this thesis, we cite the analyses that are
based on a number of different texts by Deleuze, written in different
periods of his life. The recurring motif of these texts is the subject of
literature, and these papers were later published under the name of Essays
Critical and Clinical. To make our investigations more thorough, it was
rather necessary to incorporate other key publications by Deleuze (written
by himself or in co-authorship with F?lix Guattari), as well. On top of
that, the paper specially parses the pertinence of narration for
constituting a highly idiosyncratic approach in treating language, as well
as the structure of reality which is primarily understood as bound to
language and story-telling. The said approach is named the ?narrative
method?. This method is constructed as a certain kind of heuristic device
with the ability to untangle various problems stemming from the usual ways
we treat language (language understood as an expression of thought, or as
information, e.g.), as well as the poststructuralist approach (language
understood as an instance that goes beyond subjectivity). The text is
divided into two parts: the first part deals with the importance of
characterizing language as self-expressive, coupled with insisting on its
fundamentally story-telling nature. The second part of the text explores the
possibility of potentially correlating the way language operates with the
mathematical model known as the Markov chain. The end result of the research
can be doubly summarized: on the one hand, the paper puts in the foreground
a prospect of understanding Deleuze?s philosophy of language, and on the
other hand, the paper insists on supplementing thus instituted philosophy of
language with the insight of radical narrativity of every linguistic event.
The feminine in early Greek philosophy (Part one: Homer, Homeric tradition, Hesiod, Derveni Papyrus)
Authors: Knezevic Visnja
Published: June 2023

This paper forms the first part of broader research dealing with the possibilities for a feminine ????, i.e., the starting point or source for a change, in early Greek thinking. Thus, it involves comparative analyses of the material provided by Homer, The Homeric hymn to Apollo, Hesiod?s Theogony and the Derveni Papyrus, the latter text being ?the only one that can, without the shadow of a doubt, be described as ?Orphic?? (Brisson, 2019). The work on the sources resulted in endorsing the following interpretative hypothesis: In the analysed cosmogonies, the concept of ???? is linked and - as I would argue - dependant upon the phenomenon of parthenogenesis, i.e., reproduction without fertilisation, implying a kind of a biological ?self-sufficiency?. Consequently, the employed research strategy throughout the paper consisted of the two following tasks: 1) to assess the feminine emergence as the ???? in light of parthenogenesis; 2) employing the same criterion, to assess the relationship between the feminine and the masculine. The main results thus obtained show that: 1) apart from the fact that none of the analysed cosmogonies posited the feminine and the masculine in the relationship of equality, 2) the role of the feminine otherwise resists putting into ?patterns?, including its position in the so-called paternalistic Homeric tradition. Whether these results will change with the further inclusion of sources or remain as nuanced as they now are, remains to be seen in future research.
Women and power in times of dynastic crises (selected examples from English medieval history)
Authors: Rokai Melina
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the connection between women and power during the dynastic crisis. More precisely, the paper primarily refers to members of the high nobility and ruling houses during the dynastic crisis in the fifteenth century in England. In order to achieve a more accurate picture of the possibilities that an aristocratic woman, connected by family ties to the center of ruling power and authority in the person of the ruler - the king, had in order to legitimately possess and retain power, the paper will talk about the changes in social relations that occurred in earlier periods, about the difference in power and ruling authority, and then about similar examples in the wider European context. Special attention will be paid to the female actors of the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487), which culminated in the dynastic crisis, but which was further deepened by it, as well as to the perception of their power.

Published: June 2023

This paper analyses the question od crisis in the life and work of the
philosopher Jelena Berberovic. To that end, we have divided the paper in
three segments. The first part of the paper presents the biographical
elements which shed light on the crisis in the very life of our eminent
philosopher. The central part of the paper discusses the way in which Jelena
Berberovic thematizes the problem of crisis in her writings. The author
speaks about the crisis in three senses. Namely, she talks about the crisis
of philosophy, the world crisis, and the crisis of consciousness. Next, we
develop the argumentation concerning the interpretive position from which
the philosopher argues about the problem of crisis. The last segment of this
paper states the manner in which the author presents moments of crisis in
the lives of certain committed thinkers. The object of this contribution is
to present the life of a renowned professor Jelena Berberovic in a time of
crisis, as well as to state her standpoints in life and philosophy
concerning the experience and problem of crisis.

El confinamiento, iniciado en México en marzo de 2020 para prevenir contagios por el virus SARS-CoV-2, implicó un cambio drástico en la manera de impartir y recibir clases. Las actividades migraron a plataformas digitales y continuaron así hasta 2022. El presente trabajo se realizó con los objetivos de caracterizar y comparar las percepciones de estudiantes universitarios de Comercio Exterior acerca de los escenarios educativos posteriores al confinamiento por COVID-19 en dos momentos diferentes: otoño de 2020 y primavera de 2021.

Se aplicó un cuestionario a dos grupos independientes. Se utilizó el paquete JASP para analizar las respuestas, se obtuvieron los estadísticos descriptivos y se realizó la prueba Mann-Whitney. También se calculó el factor de Bayes como una forma adicional de analizar las probabilidades en favor de la hipótesis de investigación. Los resultados indicaron que no existen evidencias de que haya existido un cambio en las percepciones estudiantiles. Los hallazgos indican que los alumnos no deseaban continuar con clases remotas; sin embargo, tomarían asignaturas en línea si su costo fuera menor que las presenciales. Asimismo, desearían seguir utilizando MS-Teams como herramienta de comunicación y apoyo. También les gustaría seguir accediendo a las grabaciones de las sesiones. De igual manera, estuvieron de acuerdo en que se deben fortalecer las habilidades tecnológicas y la seguridad informática de los estudiantes universitarios. El estudio de las percepciones estudiantiles debe continuar, ya que los alumnos son actores fundamentales en los procesos educativos y sus opiniones deberían tomarse en cuenta en el diseño de las estrategias institucionales.
