AWLloss: Speaker Verification Based on the Quality and Difficulty of Speech
Authors: Liu Qian , Zhang Xia , Liang Xinyan , Qian Yuhua , Yao Shanshan
Published: April 2023

Speaker verification is a natural and effective biometric authentication method. This method may be more practical when trained using data from real, unconstrained scenarios.  However, although the speech quality from real scenarios varies because of various adverse factors, including extreme noise and the lack of identity information, most models treat all speech samples equally. To tackle this deficiency, we propose adaptive weight loss (AWL), a function that assigns different weights to samples in accordance with their quality and difficulty based on our finding that speech quality is positively correlated with the L2 norm of speaker embedding. AWL directs the model's attention to high-quality difficult speech samples and ignores low-quality difficult samples as much as possible so that the model can learn well from speech data containing a lot of noise. Comprehensive experiments reveal that AWL significantly outperforms existing loss functions on both utilized public and noisy datasets.
Multi-branching Temporal Convolutional Network with Tensor Data Completion for Diabetic Retinopathy Prediction
Authors: Wang Zekai , Chen Suhao , Liu Tieming , Yao Bing
Published: April 2023

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), caused by damage to the blood vessels in the tissue of the retina, is a  microvascular complication of diabetes. DR is the leading cause of vision loss among working-aged adults. However, due to the low compliance rate of DR screening and expensive medical devices for ophthalmic exams, many DR patients did not seek proper medical attention until DR develops to irreversible stages (i.e., vision loss). Fortunately, the widely available electronic health record (EHR) databases provide an unprecedented opportunity to develop cost-effective machine-learning tools for DR detection. This paper proposes a Multi-branching Temporal Convolutional Network with Tensor Data Completion (MB-TCN-TC) model to analyze the longitudinal EHRs collected from diabetic patients for DR prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MB-TCN-TC model not only effectively copes with the imbalanced data and missing value issues commonly seen in EHR datasets but also captures the temporal correlation and complicated interactions among medical variables in the longitudinal clinical records, yielding superior prediction performance compared to existing methods.

Channel Parameter Studies with a Biocompatible Testbed for Molecular Communication: Methods and Data
Authors: Bartunik Max , Teller Janina , Fischer Georg , Kirchner Jens
Published: April 2023

Testbeds play an essential role in the development of real-life molecular communication applications and experimental validation of communication channel models. Although some testbed concepts have been published in recent years, very few setups are inherently suitable for biomedical applications. Furthermore, systematic experimental data of a wide parameter field for molecular communication is scarce and often difficult to generate. In this work, a biocompatible testbed for molecular communication with magnetic nanoparticles is used to investigate a series of transmission channel parameters. The observed results are discussed in the context of a laminar flow channel. All experimental data regarding the parameter studies as well as an additional data set for a large binary transmission sequence is provided as a supplement to this publication. The data is available on a public server to allow for further use by other researchers.

The main disadvantage of calculations on quantum computers is their non-determinism. For optimization problems, of course, it is possible to get surprisingly good results but without a guarantee of the actual optimality of the result, i.e, an assurance that there exists no better solution which could potentially be found by the quantum machine. In this paper, we propose an novel approach that provides such a guarantee of optimality. We generate a solution that is optimal in the strict mathematical sense, without probabilistic considerations. To accomplish this, we use the D-Wave quantum machine working as a sampler implementing quantum annealing -- an approach considered a hardware metaheuristic -- to obtain upper and lower bounds on the value of the objective function of the problem under consideration. Then, we use the Branch and Bound scheme controlled by quantum annealing. This allows us to obtain very quickly -- in constant time -- the boundaries of the considered subproblems. Our approach is a combination of calculations realized on a quantum machine controlled by procedures implemented on a classical computer, allowing us to generate optimal solutions to the NP-hard problems of task scheduling on a single machine with a total weighted tardiness criterion.  The proposed quantum algorithm shows a significant advantage over the classical CPU approach both in terms of calculation time and the number of generated solution tree nodes.

Age-related cognitive impairment is generally characterized by gradual memory loss and decision-making difficulties. The aim of this study is to investigate multi-level support and suggest relevant helping means for the elderly with mild cognitive impairment as well as their caregivers as the primary end-users. This work reports preliminary results on an intelligent assistive system achieved through the integration of the Internet of Things, augmented reality, and adaptive fuzzy decision-making methods. The proposed system operates in different modes, including automated and semi-automated modes. The former helps the user complete their daily life activities by showing augmented reality messages or making automatic changes; while the latter allows manual changes after the real-time assessment of the user’s cognitive state based on the augmented reality serious game score. We have also evaluated the accuracy of the serious game score with 37 elderly participants and compared it with users’ paper-based cognitive test results. We further noted that there is an acceptable correlation between the paper-based test and users’ serious game scores. Moreover, we observed that the system response in

We present a novel dataset captured from a BMW X5 test carrier within the German research project KI-ASIC for use in radar sensor development and autonomous driving research. Our work aims at providing a blueprint for the process of creating labeled datasets for the development of neural networks for pattern recognition in radar data in the automotive environment. With a variety of different sensor types such as wide angle color cameras, a high-resolution color stereo camera, an Ouster OS1-64 laser scanner and three novel Infineon radar sensors, we recorded over 100,000 scenes of real traffic scenarios as well as defined test scenarios with a frequency of 10 Hz. The scenarios in real traffic contain inner-city situations, but also scenes from rural areas with static and dynamic objects. Besides, the defined test scenarios are based on the NCAP scenarios and focus mostly on turning, overtaking and follow-up maneuvers. The data from the different sensors is calibrated, synchronized and timestamped including raw and rectified information. Our dataset also contains labels for all detected objects from a defined class list with distance and angle properties.

Phytoremediation of Diesel Contaminated Water DCW Exposed on Clarias gariepinus Using Moringa Seed Extract MSE as the phytoremediant
Authors: C.O Ezike , I.G. Nwaorgu
Published: April 2023

Phytoremediation of diesel contaminated water (DCW) for freshwater fish Clarias gariepinus (12.6 ±1.4g and mean length 8.6 ± 0.7cm) was conducted at the research farm of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology Enugu. 180 juveniles were purchased and acclimatized for 7 days. A 24-hour range finding test determined the LC50 value of 1.2 mg/l DCW. A 96-hour static bioassay acute toxicity experiment was then conducted in plastic tanks with 10 fish in each, and diesel of different concentrations. Mortality rate was observed in the various test concentrations. The LC50 concentration was 0.12 mg/l, improved to 0.30 mg/L with MSE-treated diesel. Histopathology of the gills of affected fish showed elevated damage, necrosis, telangiectasia and oedema in DCW exposed fish, but limited damage in MSE-treated DCW exposed fish. The results of the experiment showed that diesel has detrimental effects on C. gariepinus and could cause high mortality at higher concentrations. Moringa seed extract (MSE) was used as a phytoremediant to ameliorate the mortality and gill histological damages of the experimental fish. Therefore, diesel contaminated water should be ameliorated to a safety level of 0.003 mg/l with MSE to protect fish species and other aquatic organisms.

Prune Belly syndrome, also known as Eagle-Barret syndrome, is a rare disease, with a prevalence of 3.8 live births per 100,000 births. Its main characteristic is the hypoplasia of the abdominal muscles, giving rise to the name “prune belly syndrome”. The gold standard treatment is surgery, ideally with correction of cryptorchidism and phimosis between 6 to 18 months of life. Correction of urinary malformations and abdominoplasty should be performed up to 4 years of age. Little evidence exists in the literature about late treatment and its implications for prognosis. The context mentioned above led us to present an uncommon case of a six years old child in which a surgical approach was performed later than usual.

Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is characterized by a disorder of posture and movement, commonly leading to disabling orthopedic alterations, including muscle shortening, especially in the lower limbs. Stretching methods, performed gradually, are necessary to delay the impairment in function from muscle shortening. The use of serial casting aims to promote proper alignment, and an ideal and stable support base, in addition to better bone and joint health, leading to better posture, mobility, muscle function, and, subsequently, increased fitness and health.
Objective: evaluate range of motion, postural control, and motor performance in children with CP, using serial casting, as well as to measure its effect on fitness through the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Methods: Sixty children and adolescents with CP, of both sexes, 3 to 12 years of age, will be divided into three groups: Groups A, B, and C, with 20 individuals each. Group A will use serial casting, Group B will use the orthosis continuously (with removal only allowed for bathing), and Group C will use the orthosis in their daily routine. Range of motion of the ankle of first and second resistance levels (R1 and R2), gross motor function measure (GMFM), and balance (measured by BERG scale) will be used in the initial and final assessments, and after 6 months and one year of follow-up. Timed-up-and-go (TUG), load distribution (baropodometry), motor performance measured through a real basketball game and the virtual MoveHero game, analysis of body angulation with “mydartfish”, and cardiac autonomic modulation through heart rate variability will be assessed in three different situations: barefoot, with orthosis, and with casting.
Conclusion: Serial casting demonstrates the potential to produce positive results in the treatment of individuals with CP regarding better alignment, with consequent motor and autonomic improvement.

Introduction: coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a complex multisystem disorder. It is not yet well known whether symptoms in the acute phase correlate with the duration of the immune response and the persistence of chronic symptoms.

Objective: this study aimed to assess and monitor the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and correlate them with the production of neutralizing antibodies.

Methods: a cohort of 69 health workers at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (HUCAM-UFES/EBSERH) diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed via RT-PCR (Real-Time Reverse Transcription–Polymerase Chain Reaction) were evaluated from the onset of symptoms up to six months. SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM assays were used to detect the presence of IgG and IgM against the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 in serum samples. IgG and IgM antibody serology, pulmonary function via spirometry, and the clinical evolution of patients were performed at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 180 days after the onset of COVID-19 symptoms.

Results: sixty-nine health workers (age, 40 ± 10 years; 74% women) were evaluated for six months. All subjects showed mild to moderate COVID-19. The mean number of symptoms was 5.1 (± 2.3). The most common initial symptoms were muscle pain (77%), headache (75%), anosmia (70%), ageusia (64%), runny nose (59%), fever (52%), and coughing (52%). After 30 days, the patients had anosmia (18%), asthenia (18%), adynamia (14%), muscle pain (7%), and ageusia (7%). Regarding lung function, 9.25% presented with an obstructive pattern, and all recovered after six months. Of all analyzed participants, 18/69 (26%) did not have any reactive IgG or IgM values in any of the assessments. The IgG serology curve showed a peak, whereas IgM had the highest mean value on the 15th day. There was a progressive decrease and levels similar to those at baseline after 90 days, and 15/53 (28%) remained with reactive IgG after six months. Sore throat and shortness of breath were found to be independent risk factors, and patients with these symptoms were 5.9 times more likely to have reactive IgG on the 180th day. Patients with diarrhea were four times more likely to have reactive IgM.

Conclusion: our findings showed that 26% of patients did not produce a humoral response post-mild COVID-19. Their antibody titers dropped significantly after 90 days, and only 28% maintained reactive IgG antibodies after six months. Sore throat and shortness of breath are predictors of a longer duration of the humoral immune response.

Introduction: Psychiatric disorders have become a global problem that leads millions of people to use psychotropic medications, especially benzodiazepines. The effects of these substances are widely known regarding tolerance and chemical dependence, however, from epigenetics perspective, there are still little known.

Objective: To evaluate the association between psychotropic drug use, NR3C1 gene methylation and its relation with symptoms suggestive of depression in adult individuals assisted in the public health system.

Methods: 385 adult volunteers (20-59 years) users of the Brazilian Unified Health System were recruited to evaluate socioeconomic, health, lifestyle conditions in a cross sectional study. BDI-II evaluated symptoms suggestive of depression and pyrosequencing evaluated NR3C1 DNA methylation. Bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance (p < 0.05) evaluated the association between psychotropic drug use and NR3C1 gene methylation.

Results: Specific depressive symptoms such as irritability, insomnia and fatigability were associated with psychotropic drug use. Symptoms of past failure, indecision and loss of appetite were associated with hypermethylation patterns in CpGs 40 to 47 of NR3C1 gene. Moreover, psychotropic drug use is associated with 50% reduction in NR3C1 gene methylation, through model adjusted with socioeconomic, health and lifestyle confounding variables.

Conclusions: Psychotropic drug use and depressive symptoms was associated with changes in NR3C1 DNA methylation. In this context, epigenetic modification resulting from psychotropic drug use and depressive symptoms could be considered, mainly in population studies with epigenetic evaluation, where these factors may be influencing the findings of future studies.

Objectives: This study performed to determine Sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses and assess their awareness concerning the procedure of hemodialysis and related complications in under treatment patients with hemodialysis in Kirkuk General Hospital.
Methodology: A descriptive study, which uses the assessment approach and it was conducted on nurses in February 6th, 2011 to June 2nd, 2011, using non-probability sampling a purposive sample of (19) subject (male and female nurses) who worked at heamodialysis unite in Kirkuk General Hospital/ The City of Kirkuk. The data were collected through the utilization of a questionnaire, which was developed for the purpose of the study by using the scale (I know, Uncertain, I don't know). It was comprised of three parts, which included the nurses' demographic characteristics, Information related to the heamodialysis procedure and the complication of hemodialysis. Data were analyzed through the application of descriptive statistical data analysis approach (frequency, percentage, mean of scores), Awareness of the nurses in items of (Part II and III) are determined as following:- (adequate= 3-2.33), (moderate = 2.32-1.67), and (inadequate=1.66-1).
Results: The study had revealed that an age group (23-27) year represent the grater percentage of the sample which constitutes (42.0 %), and more than half of the nurses were male which represent (58.0 %). Relative to the subjects' marital status, two third (68.0%) of the sample were married. Concerning the years of employment, one third (37.0%) of the nurses have worked for (<1) year and more than two third (68%) of the nurses were college graduate.
Conclusions: The study concluded that the nurses had inadequate awareness regarding catheter placement, care of (muscle cramp, chest pain, and shortness of breathing). and majority of them did not document every nursing procedure. Grand mean for total mean of scores for nurses awareness concerning the procedure of hemodialysis was (2.31), and (2.30) for the complications of hemodialysis. The study concluded that nurses awareness were moderately adequate concerning both the procedure of hemodialysis and related complications.
Recommendations: A standardized written protocol, special for hemodialysis procedure and managing related complications needs to develop for the nursing staff. In addition, the nurses should participate in continues nursing education to enforce their knowledge regarding their selection (hemodialysis and related complication, and generalization the necessity of nursing documentation).
