Never miss a beep: Using mobile sensing to investigate (non-)compliance in experience sampling studies
Authors: Reiter Thomas , Schoedel Ramona
Published: November 2023

Given the increasing number of studies in various disciplines using experience sampling methods, it is important to examine compliance biases because related patterns of missing data could affect the validity of research findings. In the present study, a sample of 592 participants and more than 25,000 observations were used to examine whether participants responded to each specific questionnaire within an experience sampling framework. More than 400 variables from the three categories of person, behavior, and context, collected multi-methodologically via traditional surveys, experience sampling, and mobile sensing, served as predictors. When comparing different linear (logistic and elastic net regression) and non-linear (random forest) machine learning models, we found indication for compliance bias: response behavior was successfully predicted. Follow-up analyses revealed that study-related past behavior, such as previous average experience sampling questionnaire response rate, was most informative for predicting compliance, followed by physical context variables, such as being at home or at work. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for the design of experience sampling studies in applied research and future directions in methodological research addressing experience sampling methodology and missing data.

Published: November 2023

In this work, a silicon photodiode integrated with a piezoelectric membrane is studied by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) under modulated illumination. Time-dependent KPFM enables simultaneous quantification of the surface photovoltage generated by the photodiode as well as the resulting mechanical oscillation of the piezoelectric membrane with vertical atomic resolution in real-time. This technique offers the opportunity to measure concurrently the optoelectronic and mechanical response of the device at the nanoscale. Furthermore, time-dependent atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to spatially map voltage-induced oscillation of various sizes of piezoelectric membranes without the photodiode to investigate their position- and size-dependent displacement.
A SINGLE CASE STUDY IMPLEMENTING A 12-SESSION REHABILITATION JOURNEY: LESSONS LEARNED FROM 'CURTAIN DOWN' TO 'CURTAIN UP'
Authors: Roncaglia Irina
Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to present and reflect on the lessons learnt from practice with an individual case professional dancer who sought comprehensive psychological support as a result of a sustained trauma-injury ruptured Achilles tendon during a live performance. A single case study is represented as part of reflections and lessons learnt throughout the period of consultation and psychological support offered. The mode of service delivery, methods, and final evaluation, with final reflections are presented. A total of 12 sessions delivered fortnightly were offered lasting 60 minutes each session. Rehabilitation post-surgery included physio, strength and conditioning, Pilates, nutrition, psychological support as part of a comprehensive package.The PANAS questionnaire (Watson et al, 1988) which was administered at baseline, mid-point and post-sessions was used as an evaluation tool. Through reflective practice, three main themes emerged as acquired skills through the psychological interventions offered: 1) self-confidence and self-esteem, 2) a renewed sense of belonging, and 3) sense of autonomy. A dancers’ centred approach in providing psychological support for a comprehensive rehabilitation program was used, where transdisciplinary interlinked approaches benefited the recovery from ‘curtain down’ to ‘curtain up’. Reflections highlight the importance of positive psychological models of practice, the Rogerian foundations of authenticity, non-judgemental and guiding principles of recovery through empathy, and the clinician’s positionality right from the start of the support offered.

Even after accounting for third light, TOI-1712.01 has a radius nearly a factor of 2 larger than predicted for isolated stars with similar properties. We propose that the intense instellation experienced by TOI-1712.01 diminishes the temperature gradient near its surface, suppresses convection, and leads to its inflated radius. Our analyses verify Gaia DR3 SB1 solutions in the low Doppler semiamplitude limit, thereby providing the foundation for future joint analyses of Gaia radial velocities and Kepler, K2, TESS, and PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations light curves for the characterization of transiting massive brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars.
Multi-spacecraft Observations of the 2022 March 25 CME and EUV Wave: An Analysis of Their Propagation and Interrelation
Authors: Liberatore Alessandro , Liewer Paulett C. , Vourlidas Angelos , Braga Carlos R. , Velli Marco , Panasenco Olga , Telloni Daniele , Mancuso Salvatore
Published: November 2023

This paper reports on a well-defined EUV wave associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 2022 March 25. The CME was observed by Solar Orbiter (SolO) during its first close perihelion (0.32 au) and by several other spacecraft from different viewpoints. The EUV wave was visible by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO-A/STA) in near quadrature to SolO. We perform a detailed analysis of the early phase of this CME in relation to the evolution of the associated EUV wave. The kinematics of the EUV wave and CME are derived via visual identification of the fronts using both the STA and SolO data. The analysis of an associated metric type II radio burst provides information on the early phase of the CME and wave propagation. Finally, we compare the EUV speed to the local magnetic field and Alfvén speed using standard models of the corona. The analysis of the decoupling between the EUV wave and the CME driver via imaging, kinematic study, radio data analysis, and comparison with maps/models clearly indicates that the EUV front is consistent with a wave initially driven by the lateral expansion of the CME, which evolves into a fast-mode magnetosonic wave after decoupling from the CME.
Internal Shock with a Background Magnetic Field for the Prompt Emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts—A Case Study of GRB 211211A

Published: November 2023

It is proposed that the synchrotron emission from an internal shock with a decaying shock-generated magnetic field can account for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Generally, a jet from the central engine of a GRB is launched with a significant magnetization, and thus there would be a background magnetic field, rather than only the shock-generated magnetic field, in the emission region. In this paper, we study the synchrotron emission of internal shocks with both a decaying shock-generated magnetic field and a nondecaying background magnetic field. It is found that a shoulder with spectral index −1/2 appears in the low-energy regime of the radiation spectrum. The shoulder becomes dominant by increasing the ratio of the background magnetic field energy to the initial value of the shock-generated magnetic field energy f
B. Correspondingly, a radiation spectrum with two bumps or a plateau around the peak of the ν
F

ν
−ν spectrum may appear. Owing to the decay of the shock-generated magnetic field, the radiation spectral morphology in the high-energy regime is not a power-law function even though a power-law distribution of electrons is injected. We apply our model to GRB 211211A, of which the hard main emission is suggested to originate from the synchrotron emission. Compared with the spectral fitting results with a Band function and the synchrotron emission from the standard straightforward internal shocks, our model presents a perfect fitting to the observations. The fitting results show that f
B is around 0.41–0.99 for the hard main emission of this burst.
Scattering of Superthermal Ions at Shocks: Dependence on Energy
Authors: Gedalin Michael , Ganushkina Natalia , Pogorelov Nikolai V. , Roytershteyn Vadim
Published: November 2023

Diffusive shock acceleration requires the production of backstreaming superthermal ions (injection) as a first step. Such ions can be generated in the process of scattering of ions in the superthermal tail off the shock front. Knowledge of the scattering of high-energy ions is essential for matching conditions of upstream and downstream distributions at the shock transition. Here we analyze the generation of backstreaming ions as a function of their initial energy in a model stationary shock and in a similar rippled shock. Rippling substantially enhances ion reflection and the generation of backstreaming ions for slightly and moderately superthermal energies, and thus is capable of ensuring ion injection into a further diffusive shock acceleration process. For high-energy ions, there is almost no difference in the fraction of backstreaming ions produced and the ion distributions between the planar stationary shock and the rippled shock.
Toward Measuring the Microlensing Event Rate in the Galactic Center. I. Event Detection from the UKIRT Microlensing Survey Data
Authors: Wen Yongxin , Zang Weicheng , Ma Bo
Published: November 2023

To overcome the high optical extinction, near-infrared (NIR) observations are needed for probing the microlensing events toward the Galactic center. The 2015–2019 UKIRT microlensing survey toward the Galactic center is the first dedicated precursor NIR survey for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Here, we analyze the online data from the UKIRT microlensing survey, reaching l = b = 0°. Using the event-finder algorithm of KMTNet with the Δχ
2 threshold of 250, we find 522 clear events, 436 possible events, and 27 possible anomalous events. We fit a point-source point-lens (PSPL) model to all the clear events and derive the PSPL parameters with uncertainties using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. Assuming perfect detection efficiency, we compute the uncorrected event rates, which should serve as the lower limits on the true event rate. We find that the uncorrected NIR event rates are likely rising toward the Galactic center and are higher than the optical event rates.
The impacts of multiple stressors on managed bees: Novel insights from the PoshBee project

Published: November 2023

Managed bees and other pollinators are exposed to a wide variety of stressors and these often act in combination. Historically, most risk assessments and research have focused on the impacts of individual stressors on honey bees. However, there is broad scientific consensus that there is a need for a systems-based risk assessment approach and a post-approval monitoring system. This should consider: multiple interacting stressors; a variety of pollinator species (including different subspecies, sexes, castes and life history stages); field studies as well as laboratory studies; and a diversity of end-points (molecular, physiological, behavioural, developmental, reproductive and colony health). The PoshBee project has made a significant step in our understanding of how the interactions between agrochemicals, pathogens and nutrition impact different bee species.
A systematic review of coral reef, mangrove, and seagrass ecosystem services in Pacific Small Island Developing States

Published: November 2023

Mettant en évidence les multiples contributions des écosystèmes au bien-être humain, l'évaluation des services écosystémiques (SE) est reconnue comme un outil pertinent pour soutenir la protection et la gestion durable de la nature. Après examen de la littérature sur les SE de coraux, mangroves et herbiers dans les petits États insulaires en développement du Pacifique, pays hautement vulnérables aux changements océaniques, nos résultats mettent en évidence des lacunes géographiques et méthodologiques, et soulignent la nécessité d'utiliser des indicateurs non monétaires dans les évaluations de SE, et de prendre davantage en compte la littérature grise dans l'analyse des SE.
Radical-Right Parties, their Foreign Policy Positions on Russia and in the European Parliament
Authors: Timofejevs Pēteris F.
Published: November 2023

À partir de l’exemple balte, cet article examine l’hypothèse selon laquelle les partis de droite radicale sélectionnent leurs partenaires au Parlement européen sur la base soit d’affinités idéologiques, soit de respectabilité nationale. Deux cas sont systématiquement comparés : le Parti populaire conservateur d’Estonie (EKRE) et l’Alliance nationale lettone (NA). Les résultats empiriques indiquent que les positions de politique étrangère vis-à-vis de la Russie de ces deux partis baltes diffèrent de celles des partis de droite radicale ailleurs dans l’Union européenne. Cependant, ce constat ne peut pas expliquer les attitudes différentes qu’ils adoptent sur la scène nationale et au Parlement européen. L’AN est restée l’une des plus critiques de la Russie, tant en Lettonie que dans l’UE, tandis que l’EKRE est entrée dans un gouvernement de coalition dirigé par un parti plus favorable à la Russie, le Parti du centre, tout en s’alliant avec le groupe du parti parlementaire « Identité et démocratie » au Parlement européen.
National Homogeneity as a Component of the Far-Right Narrative in Poland
Authors: Różycki Bartłomiej
Published: November 2023

Cet article discute de l’importance du concept « d’homogénéité nationale » en Pologne. Paradoxalement, cette notion a été utilisée avant la seconde guerre mondiale, et ensuite sous le régime communiste, elle l’est désormais par des forces politiques contemporaines, dont Droit et Justice (PiS), le parti ouvertement anticommuniste qui gouverne la Pologne depuis 2015. Ce concept est réinvesti par l’extrême droite sous une grande variété de formes, allant d’initiatives populaires à la rhétorique gouvernementale. L’attachement d’une partie de la population à ce concept est une des explications des récents succès électoraux du PiS.
Bioéconomie et capital territorial : quelle transformation des actifs tangibles par les actifs intangibles ?
Authors: Benoit Sylvie
Published: November 2023

Cet article se propose de comprendre les modalités d’émergence de la bioéconomie et ses ressorts en termes de développement local à partir du cadre conceptuel de capital territorial formé d’actifs tangibles et intangibles. La combinaison entre les deux types d’actifs expliquerait des dynamiques spécifiques de développement en contexte de transition écologique. Cette évolution au sein du capital territorial est examinée ici au travers des résultats du projet BIOCA (Bioéconomie en Champagne-Ardenne) dans le cadre de PSDR4, programme dont la spécificité était d’être basé sur une méthode participative. BIOCA visait à identifier les différentes formes de bioéconomie émergeantes en territoire champardennais. Trois modèles en ressortent, partant chacun différemment des ressources du capital territorial, et allant de valorisations traditionnelles (bioéconomie agroindustrielle) à des formes plus innovantes (bioéconomie agroécologique) en passant par un modèle intermédiaire (bioéconomie filière) selon leur degré d’intégration des injonctions et des valeurs environnementales liées à la transition écologique.
Le modèle de la traduction dans le processus de l’après-coup
Authors: Smadja Claude
Published: November 2023

L’après-coup est un concept majeur de la structure dynamique du fonctionnement mental. Il repose sur la notion de remaniement permanent des traces mnésiques et de leur valeur traumatique. Le modèle de la traduction relie conceptuellement les après-coups successifs à de nouvelles retranscriptions du matériau psychique. L’intraduit devient source d’un état traumatique en raison du manque de nouvelles retranscriptions. C’est cette clinique du négatif que nous retrouvons dans les organisations psychosomatiques. L’absence de remaniements dans le processus psychique prive le fonctionnement mental de sa diversité qualitative mais le principe d’équivalence énergétique établit une loi de constance quantitative entre les éléments psychiques et les éléments somatiques de l’unité psychosomatique.
Retour sur Dora, le grain de sable et la perle : de la trace somatique à la conversion
Authors: Tabacof Diana
Published: November 2023

La relecture du cas Dora par les psychosomaticiens français une cinquantaine d’années après sa publication a permis de faire ressortir la dimension traumatique et le noyau d’angoisse actuelle présents dans le matériel clinique de la célèbre patiente de Freud. À partir de certains concepts du corpus psychosomatique comme ceux de fixation somatique et noyau traumatique, l’auteur interroge la notion de « complaisance somatique » et de ses destins, celle-ci pouvant devenir un symptôme symbolique dans la lignée conversionnelle (perle), ou bien, rester pure trace d’excitations non-symbolisées (grain de sable) propre à la lignée traumatique (selon M. Fain) se manifestant par des symptômes somatiques. La lecture croisée du cas Dora et des Trois essais sur la théorie sexuelle, écrits à peu près en même temps, permet aussi de saisir les singularités des investissements libidinaux des zones érogènes et d’envisager l’émergence d’un corps pulsionnel porteur de traces, potentiellement hystérogènes ou traumatiques.
Traces et plasticités en psychanalyse, neurosciences et dans l’Intelligence Artificielle
Authors: Chaudoye Guillemine , Zebdi Rafika
Published: November 2023

La notion de traces laissées par l’expérience est à l’interface de la psychanalyse et des neurosciences dans ce qu’elles permettent, en termes de plasticité, tant psychique que neuronale. Alors que Freud, dès 1895, proposait un projet pour une psychologie scientifique, en parallèle, le champ des neurosciences se faisait jour et allait ouvrir à de nouvelles perspectives de pensées et de connaissances. Les traces, preuves de l’expérience acquise, vont être ce qui va permettre de penser un travail de mémoire tant dans sa dimension psychique que neurologique. Mais à ces plasticités psychiques et cérébrales, bientôt va se joindre une nouvelle : celle des neurones artificiels, toile de fond d’un champ de recherche et d’ouverture dont on ne connaît pas encore l’envergure : l’intelligence artificielle, elle aussi sujette à expérience, elle aussi empreinte de traces, laissant présager de sa propre plasticité.
Le temps perdu de l’attente
Authors: Saïet Mathilde
Published: November 2023

Il s’agit d’interroger ici la « situation d’impasse » (Sami-Ali) dans laquelle sont parfois placés les sujets « en attente » (« sans-papiers », « migrants », « demandeurs d’asile », etc.) et les conséquences d’une telle attente sur les processus psychiques et, en particulier, sur l’organisation de la temporalité. Cette attente, qui s’allonge comme à l’infini, entraînant désœuvrement et enlisement dans un quotidien marqué par la répétition, immobilise en effet le sujet dans un temps suspendu qui semble profondément altérer les processus de temporalisation. Les conceptualisations freudiennes concernant la temporalité seront convoquées pour saisir ce qui peut ainsi apparaître comme une figure du « temps éclaté » (Green). Le texte de Samuel Beckett, En attendant Godot, servira de fil conducteur pour tenter d’appréhender ce qu’engendre cette contrainte à la répétition et l’instauration de ce régime de « l’actuel ».

Cet article se propose d'analyser les modes de persistance de la soi-disant « explosion sociale » qui s'est produit au Chili entre octobre 2019 et mars 2020, en considérant deux phénomènes : d'une part, l'opération systématique d'effacement des traces de la révolte populaire de l'espace public ; et, d'autre part, le récent rejet de la proposition de nouvelle Constitution. Ce travail traite des débris et des spectres de la révolte, pour lesquels est proposée une nécro-archive de l’ « explosion sociale », où sont assemblés les différents rythmes du processus, dans l'intention de repenser les diverses réverbérations des événements.
Los muros del estallido social chileno. Disputando el espacio público desde las prácticas de artivismo
Authors: Freire Smith Marla , G. Miranda David
Published: November 2023

Pendant la crise sociale chilienne, l'une des traces visibles dans la ville a été les graffitis, les peintures murales et autres expressions graphiques qui sont intervenues dans l'espace public chargées de messages politiques et d'expressions d'agitation, qui ont cristallisé d'une manière ou d'une autre une crise profonde qui existait entre les citoyens et l'État chilien et, par conséquent, par rapport à l'ordre institutionnel. Cet article, basé sur plus de 300 documents photographiques obtenus entre le 18 octobre 2019 et le 3 février 2020, analyse le contenu de ces expressions en termes de forme, de message, de texte et de sous-texte, afin d'essayer d'entrevoir les éléments distinctifs d'un mouvement social caractérisé comme inorganique et transversal, qui a déclenché un processus de changement constitutionnel, ainsi qu'une dispute pour re-signifier l'espace public en termes symboliques, générant de nouveaux processus de socialisation politique à travers la production de nouvelles subjectivités, avec une forte utilisation d'éléments de la culture visuelle. L'une des réflexions centrales de ce travail affirme que, dans le cas chilien, la mobilisation exprimée par des pratiques artivistes a généré de nouveaux imaginaires et subjectivités pour la configuration d'un nouveau scénario politique, générant un impact sur la crise de la relation État-citoyenneté, et dans ce cas, marquant des étapes symboliques dans la forte crise de l'ordre néolibéral.
Connectomique urbaine. Une étude pilote pour la ville de Messine
Authors: La Fauci Giovanni
Published: November 2023

Qu’est-ce qui rend une ville unique ? À partir de quelques contributions théoriques et empiriques remarquables, l’article tentera de montrer comment l’image urbaine est toujours le résultat d’un « processus collectif continu de re-signification » (Boeri, 2016). C’est un imaginaire qui opère à travers des représentations sociales spatialisées selon des connexions structurelles, fonctionnelles et émergentes. L’hypothèse est que ces connexions ont non seulement une évidence géographique mais une topologie, pas du tout neutre, qui qualifie de manière caractéristique la marque mentale d’une ville. À travers l’étude des connectivités structurelles et fonctionnelles de certaines représentations sociales dans l’espace géographique, nous arriverons à l’élaboration de cartes qui, en raison de l’approche méthodologique particulière, sont ici définies comme des connectomes urbains .
Justice reproductive en Finlande ? Le mythe de l’homogénéité dans une social-démocratie nordique
Authors: Blell Mwenza , Homanen Riikka
Published: November 2023

Bien que la social-démocratie finlandaise soit fondée sur l’égalité sociale, la justice reproductive n’est toujours pas une réalité dans ce pays. Les causes de cet état de fait sont explorées à l’aide de deux ethnographies sur les technologies de procréation médicalement assistée et, plus spécifiquement, sur les manquements à l’égalité de traitement liés à la race, la classe, le genre et la sexualité. Les entretiens avec des chercheur·se·s et des professionnel·le·s de santé finlandais·e·s révèlent les affects, le poids du passé et les logiques ayant conduit à cette inégalité d’accès aux soins de santé reproductive, tels que la perpétuation du mythe de l’homogénéité blanche, l’héritage de l’eugénisme, la concentration du pouvoir et des décisions éthiques dans les mains des médecins, l’interprétation des discriminations comme des problèmes de ressources, le déni des inégalités et un attachement purement idéologique à l’État-providence invisibilisant la réalité des discriminations.
Une vulnérabilité dévoyée : le paradoxe entre discours et réalité du travail des femmes au sein d’une Scop industrielle
Authors: Reichhart Ada
Published: November 2023

Les sociétés coopératives et participatives (Scop) se présentent comme une alternative démocratique à l’organisation inégalitaire du travail. Pourtant, l’étude d’une Scop industrielle rend compte sur le long terme d’une justification de la relégation des femmes à des postes définis par leur « petitesse », par une essentialisation de leur vulnérabilité entendue comme fragilité des corps. Or, comme le concède paradoxalement l’ensemble des salarié·e·s, les postes occupés par les femmes se révèlent être parmi les plus pénibles. Ce processus d’invisibilisation du travail laborieux des femmes concourt à un dévoiement de la notion de vulnérabilité dont la déconnection avec le vécu est source de tensions. Le résultat est une contradiction entre la représentation sociale de la vulnérabilité et la réalité de l’usage et de l’exposition des corps dans une entreprise où cette dimension est pourtant essentielle, venant mettre en cause de façon sous-jacente la promesse démocratique de la Scop.

Automated polyp segmentation based on a multi-distance feature dissimilarity-guided fully convolutional network
Authors: Mu Nan , Guo Jinjia , Wang Rong
Published: November 2023

Colorectal malignancies often arise from adenomatous polyps, which typically begin as solitary, asymptomatic growths before progressing to malignancy. Colonoscopy is widely recognized as a highly efficacious clinical polyp detection method, offering valuable visual data that facilitates precise identification and subsequent removal of these tumors. Nevertheless, accurately segmenting individual polyps poses a considerable difficulty because polyps exhibit intricate and changeable characteristics, including shape, size, color, quantity and growth context during different stages. The presence of similar contextual structures around polyps significantly hampers the performance of commonly used convolutional neural network (CNN)-based automatic detection models to accurately capture valid polyp features, and these large receptive field CNN models often overlook the details of small polyps, which leads to the occurrence of false detections and missed detections. To tackle these challenges, we introduce a novel approach for automatic polyp segmentation, known as the multi-distance feature dissimilarity-guided fully convolutional network. This approach comprises three essential components, i.e., an encoder-decoder, a multi-distance difference (MDD) module and a hybrid loss (HL) module. Specifically, the MDD module primarily employs a multi-layer feature subtraction (MLFS) strategy to propagate features from the encoder to the decoder, which focuses on extracting information differences between neighboring layers' features at short distances, and both short and long-distance feature differences across layers. Drawing inspiration from pyramids, the MDD module effectively acquires discriminative features from neighboring layers or across layers in a continuous manner, which helps to strengthen feature complementary across different layers. The HL module is responsible for supervising the feature maps extracted at each layer of the network to improve prediction accuracy. Our experimental results on four challenge datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach exhibits superior automatic polyp performance in terms of the six evaluation criteria compared to five current state-of-the-art approaches.
Elucidating the involvement of neutrophil extracellular traps in hemarthrosis pathophysiology
Authors: Mohammed Rusul Qasim , Ahmed Abeer Anwer
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND:

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder that could cause many complications, one of which is hemarthrosis. Neutrophils are the predominant immune cells that infiltrate joints after hemorrhage. Tissue injury is often accompanied by the production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which are DNA constructs containing attached granular enzymes.

AIMS OF STUDY:

The aim of this study was to identify the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps including the neutrophil elastase (NE) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), in patients with hemophilia A presented with hemarthrosis.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

During a period of 8 months from November 2022 to June 2023, 50 persons were recruited cross-sectional study was conducted. In the current study, a sample of 25 individuals with hemophilia A presenting with hemarthrosis were included. Additionally, a control group of 25 unrelated, almost healthy persons,matched in terms of age and sex were also included. NE and MPO levels in blood were measured by flow cytometry technique.

RESULTS:

The level of MPO and NE in the blood was significantly higher in hemophilia A patients than controls. In the results of hemophilia A patients, the mean and standard deviation of MPO were 3253.36 +_1865.48, while for NE it was 5229.08+_2667.43. These values were found to be statistically significantP<0.05 when compared to the control group. In the control group, the mean and standard deviation of MPO were 2285.48+_811.89, and for NE, it was 3816.92+_1890.45.

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients with hemarthrosis had a considerably increase level of NETs in their blood than healthy individuals, and these findings indicate a function of NETs in the pathology of hemophilia A with hemarthrosis.

Postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD/A) impact a woman’s physical and psychological wellbeing. In the absence of corroboratory evidence from the community setting in India, the present study was undertaken to examine the prevalence, psychosocial correlates and risk factors for PPD/A in the rural community of India.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included 680 women during the postpartum period from a rural community in northern India. Screening for PPD/A was done using Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory. Diagnostic assessment of screened-positive women was done using Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). The psychosocial evaluation was done on parameters including women’s social support, bonding with the child, functionality, parental stress, interpersonal violence and marital satisfaction.

Results:

The overall prevalence of PPD/A/both in community women was 5.6 per cent, with a specific prevalence of 2.2 per cent for PPD, 0.74 per cent for PPA and 2.8 per cent for both disorders. Comparative analysis indicated that women with PPD/A/both experienced significantly higher levels of parenting stress, poor lifestyle (prior two weeks), less support from their partner, parents-in-law and parents, less marital satisfaction, high intimate partner violence, poor bonding with infants and higher infant-focussed anxiety. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher education, marital satisfaction, support from partners and in-laws were associated with reducing the risk of PPD/A/both.

Interpretation & conclusions:

Rural Indian women experience PPD/A/both which causes stress and impacts their functionality, bonding with the infant and relationship with their spouse and parents. Higher education, marital satisfaction and higher support from partners and in-laws reduce the risk of developing PPD/A/both.

INTRODUCTION:

The mandibular buccal shelf area is an extra-alveolar anchorage site that has high quality and quantity of bone, provides biomechanical benefits and has low failure rates. It is essential to place the implant in the region of bone with optimal thickness. The aim of this study was to determine the suitable site of the mandibular buccal shelf for bone screw insertion at 90 degrees and 30 degrees angles of insertion and various heights, angulations, areas of the buccal shelf in prognathic and retrognathic mandibles, and vertical and horizontal growth patterns.

METHODS:

In this retrospective study, we evaluated the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 48 patients in the age range of 18–30 years, divided into four groups. Seven sectional sites were examined at 3, 5, and 7 mm from the alveolar crest at 90 degrees and 30 degrees. The angulation and area of the buccal shelf were examined.

RESULTS:

Cortical bone thickness increased distally from the first to the second molar in all four groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

The preferred site for buccal shelf implant placement was distal to the mandibular second molar. The maximum amount of cortical bone was observed distal to the second molar, 7 mm vertically from the alveolar crest, when the buccal shelf implant was placed at 30 degrees angulation to the long axis of the tooth.

INTRODUCTION:

Twin-block appliance therapy in patients with Class II Div 1 malocclusion positions the mandible anteroinferior leading to possible alterations in tongue pressure, tongue length, and the oropharynx.

OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate the changes in tongue pressure, tongue length and dimension of the pharyngeal airway in Class II Division 1 subjects before and after twin-block therapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Twenty-four subjects were selected, in the range of 10–14 years (mean—12 years). The tongue pressure was recorded at three regions with sensors placed at the incisive papilla and bilaterally at the molar region of the palate for four minutes. The root mean square (RMS) values were recorded and used for further analysis. Evaluation of tongue length and pharyngeal airway dimension was done using a lateral cephalogram. All the measurements were done before and after twin-block appliance therapy. The paired t-test was performed to compare the changes.

RESULTS:

Resting tongue pressures decreased from pre-treatment levels to post-treatment at all three regions. Change in ANB angle was found to have a significant negative correlation with tongue length, and pharyngeal airway dimension, a significant positive correlation with pressure at incisive papilla and left molar region and no correlation at right molar region.

CONCLUSION:

There was a decrease in resting tongue pressure as the malocclusion was corrected from Class II to Class I. Hence, this decrease in pressure could be a contributory factor in the maintenance of the dental equilibrium as lighter forces exist in the oral cavity.

A growing population necessitates more transportation, which pressures car parking spots. Parking is a problem for public places in cities, such as theatres, malls, parks, and temples. Even though several techniques have been suggested in publications, manual parking systems are still used in most places. For large locations where it is challenging to find open spaces, traditional parking arrangements need to be more archaic and convoluted. This might lead to heavy traffic, minor mishaps, and widespread accidents. In the modern era of sophisticated parking management systems, an automatic parking spot-detecting system has been introduced in an innovative format. Experts in computer vision are drawn to this emerging field to contribute. The system could tell if the automobile was fully or partially parked. Neither during the process nor afterward, human oversight is required. As parking management enters the modern era, computer vision is becoming increasingly critical. The parking system will not only make it easier for drivers to identify parking spaces but also enhance parking administration and monitoring. Vehicles will be able to observe available parking spots due to technology that monitors parking spaces. India and other emerging nations, as well as industrialized ones, have recently shown interest in smart cities. This article's smart auto parking system was conceived and implemented utilizing a Raspberry Pi and cameras placed in various parking spaces. Using a website and an Android app, this project creates and deploys a real-time system that enables vehicles to efficiently find and reclaim open parking spaces.

In recent years, pollution of air has become a critical concern in many urban areas, causing serious health problems and environmental damage. To address this issue, an Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based air pollution monitoring system was proposed. The mechanism was designed to measure various air quality parameters such as temperature, humidity, various gases, microbes, and light intensity in real time. The proposed sys-tem consists of sensor nodes, a gateway, WIFI module, an LCD display, and a cloud server. The sensor nodes were placed at different locations to measure air quality parameters, and the data were transmitted to the gateway via wireless communication. The gateway aggregates the data from the sensor nodes and sends them to the cloud server for further analysis and processing. The cloud server processes the data, and the system also includes a web interface that displays data on the pollution levels of the air in real time. The sys-tem can also send alerts to users when the air quality is poor, allowing them to take the necessary precautions. This system could assist decision-makers in taking appropriate measures to alleviate air pollution and safeguard the health of the community by providing real-time information about air quality. The system was evaluated in a real-world environment and the results demonstrated its effectiveness in providing accurate and reliable air quality information. The proposed system has the potential to be used in various applications, including public health and environmental monitoring, and can be integrated with other IoT devices to enhance their functionality.

INTRODUCTION: Web scraping is a technique that provides organizations with the ability to analyse large amounts of information and gather new information.
OBJECTIVES: Find a group that is a health check, a full body test, a blood test, and so on. In this way, the pharmaceutical industry should consider how to improve information, information storage, information retrieval, and capture. For example, the healthcare system may decide to standardize the assessment of speech and allow information to be shared across organizations to improve treatment outcomes in web scraping applications.
METHODS: Web scraping is based on the pharmaceutical industry. From here, we get information about pharmacies, such as drug names in different categories or drug sales. However, we are dealing with diseases and common medicines. Using this information, we can find the most common viruses. There are many factors to consider when creating a junk website for the pharmaceutical industry, such as drug names, tablet categories, and syrups found in the pharmaceutical industry.
RESULTS: As is clearly visible from the output, there are columns for drug names, manufacturers, drug types, and prices. This is the information we get from a website called Net meds, a pharmacy site. With the help of this information, we learn which drugs are most needed, and then we can find the most common diseases today.
CONCLUSION: The results of this web scraping can be very useful and powerful. However, the industry's success in web scraping and data extraction techniques depends on the availability of clean chemical data.

In the field of medicine, it is very important to prognosticate diseases early to cure them from their initial stages. Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis with symptoms similar to the smallpox as it spreads widely with the person who is in close contact with the affected. So, it can be diagnosed using various new age computing techniques such as CNN, RESNET, VGG, EfficientNet. In this work, a prediction model is utilized for better classification of Monkeypox. However, the implementation of machine learning in detecting COVID-19 has encouraged scientists to explore its potential for identifying monkeypox. One challenge in using Deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) for this purpose is the lack of sufficient data, including images of monkeypox-infected skin. In response, Monkeypox Skin Image Dataset is collected from Kaggle, the largest of its kind till date which includes images of healthy skin as well as monkeypox and some other infected skin diseases. The dataset undergoes through different data augmentation phases which is fed to different DL and ML algorithms for producing better results. Out of all the approaches, VGG19 and Resnet has got the best result with 92% recognition accuracy.
