A Fast Vertex Weighting-Based Local Search for Finding Minimum Connected Dominating Sets
Authors: Wu Xinyun , Lü Zhipeng , Glover Fred
Published: November 2021

The minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) problem consists of selecting a minimum set of vertices from an undirected graph, such that each vertex not in this set is adjacent to at least one of the vertices in it, and the subgraph induced by this vertex set is connected. This paper presents a fast vertex weighting (FVW) algorithm for solving the MCDS problem, which integrates several distinguishing features, such as a vertex weighting-based local search with tabu and perturbation strategies to help the search to jump out of the local optima, as well as a search space reduction strategy to improve the search efficiency. Computational experiments on four sets of 112 commonly used public benchmark instances, as well as 15 newly introduced sparse instances, show that FVW is highly competitive compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms in the literature despite its simplicity. FVW improves the previous best-known results for 20 large public benchmark instances while matching the best-known results for all but 2 of the remaining ones. Several ingredients of FVW are investigated to demonstrate the importance of the proposed ideas and techniques.

Summary of Contribution: As a challenging classical NP-hard problem, the minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) problem has been studied for decades in the areas of both operations research and computer science, although there does not exist an exact polynomial algorithm for solving it. Thus, the new breakthrough on this classical NP-hard problem in terms of the computational results on classical benchmark instances is significant. This paper presents a new fast vertex weighting local search for solving the MCDS problem. Computational experiments on four sets of 112 commonly used public benchmark instances show that fast vertex weighting (FVW) is able to improve the previous best-known results for 20 large instances while matching the best-known results for all but 2 of the remaining instances. Several ingredients of FVW are also investigated to demonstrate the importance of the proposed ideas and techniques.

Communication barriers that affect medication adherence in patients with learning disabilities
Authors: Hignett Jamara
Published: November 2021

Having a disability that affects communication can cause particular problems in primary care as inadequate communication can lead to the wrong diagnosis, poor assessments and inadequate health care ( Murphy, 2006 ). All patients are entitled to accessible and appropriate information on prescribed medication to facilitate a deeper understanding of the benefits and harms of treatment ( Grime et al, 2007 ). Reasonable adjustments should be made for learning difficultly patients and this can be in the form of easy reads guides that incorporate larger text, simple information and pictural explanations. Communication passports are a tool used by learning disabled patients, these provide both a practical and person-centred approach to passing on key information about people with complex communication difficulties ( Nursing Times, 2018 ). They provide information about the communication needs and health needs of a patient which is useful to assist in bridging the communication gap between nurse practitioner and patient. In a time of technological advancements, a move towards digital passports would be more beneficial with regular updates from the multidisciplinary team. This in turn can be shared across numerous health platforms the patient might come into contact with, allowing the nurse practitioner to better prepare for the patient prior to their consultation. Education on learning disabilities is an area of training that is lacking in general practice, there have been no provisions made to make the training mandatory. Incorporating mandatory yearly staff training will ensure nurse practitioners have the tools and knowledge to adapt communication techniques during a consultation.

Does self-reported chronic pain influence savoring of aesthetic experiences?
Authors: Weigand Rosalie , Moosmayer Annika , Jacobsen Thomas
Published: November 2021

Background

Aesthetic experiences elicit a wide range of positive emotions and have a positive impact on various health outcomes. In this context, savoring refers to a cognitive form of emotion regulation used to maintain and extend positive emotional experiences and is considered to contribute to health and well-being. Chronic pain has been linked to reduced reward-seeking behavior. This is the first study to investigate the relationship between self-reported chronic pain and savoring.

Methods

We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional survey in a large non-clinical sample (opera, theater, and cabaret visitors; n = 322). The variables were assessed with a two-item-questionnaire.

Results

Self-reported chronic pain was significantly negatively correlated with savoring (r = -.547)

Conclusion

Altogether, this result helps to develop a better understanding of the effects of chronic pain in humans and to shed light on state-dependent differences in aesthetic experiences.
Prognostic biomarkers for predicting papillary thyroid carcinoma patients at high risk using nine genes of apoptotic pathway
Authors: Arora Chakit , Kaur Dilraj , Naorem Leimarembi Devi , Raghava Gajendra P. S.
Published: November 2021

Aberrant expressions of apoptotic genes have been associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in the past, however, their prognostic role and utility as biomarkers remains poorly understood. In this study, we analysed 505 PTC patients by employing Cox-PH regression techniques, prognostic index models and machine learning methods to elucidate the relationship between overall survival (OS) of PTC patients and 165 apoptosis related genes. It was observed that nine genes (ANXA1, TGFBR3, CLU, PSEN1, TNFRSF12A, GPX4, TIMP3, LEF1, BNIP3L) showed significant association with OS of PTC patients. Five out of nine genes were found to be positively correlated with OS of the patients, while the remaining four genes were negatively correlated. These genes were used for developing risk prediction models, which can be utilized to classify patients with a higher risk of death from the patients which have a good prognosis. Our voting-based model achieved highest performance (HR = 41.59, p = 3.36x10-4, C = 0.84, logrank-p = 3.8x10-8). The performance of voting-based model improved significantly when we used the age of patients with prognostic biomarker genes and achieved HR = 57.04 with p = 10−4 (C = 0.88, logrank-p = 1.44x10-9). We also developed classification models that can classify high risk patients (survival ≤ 6 years) and low risk patients (survival > 6 years). Our best model achieved AUROC of 0.92. Further, the expression pattern of the prognostic genes was verified at mRNA level, which showed their differential expression between normal and PTC samples. Also, the immunostaining results from HPA validated these findings. Since these genes can also be used as potential therapeutic targets in PTC, we also identified potential drug molecules which could modulate their expression profile. The study briefly revealed the key prognostic biomarker genes in the apoptotic pathway whose altered expression is associated with PTC progression and aggressiveness. In addition to this, risk assessment models proposed here can help in efficient management of PTC patients.

The Queen of Navarre and a queen from Navarre: Comparing the experience of queenship of Leonor de Trastámara and Joan of Navarre
Authors: Woodacre Elena
Published: November 2021

This article offers an intensive comparison of two queen consorts, Leonor de Trastámara, consort of Carlos III of Navarre (r. 1387-1425) and her sister-in-law, Joan of Navarre, consort of Henry IV of England (r. 1399-1413). Key similarities and differences in their lives and experience of queenship are revealed by an examination of the major ceremonies that marked their tenure as consort and their personal exercise of the queen’s office. As well as bringing greater illumination to their individual lives, the comparison also deepens our understanding of queenship, not only in Navarre and England, but more broadly in the later middle ages.
The image of a muslim arab woman in medieval rus’ literature
Authors: Brzozowska Zofia Aleksandra
Published: November 2021

Rus’ medieval authors drew information about the history and culture of the Arabs mainly from Byzantine sources, translated into Old-Church-Slavonic. The image was supplemented by observations made by residents of medieval Rus’ in the course of direct contacts with the Arabs (e.g. during their travels to the Holy Land) or ideas about other Islamic peoples, whose customs could be known to old Rus’ authors from personal experience (e.g. Turks or Mongols/Tatars). The aim of this paper is to analyze the image of Arab women emerging from old Rus’ works. We will be interested in people from Muhammad’s closest surroundings (e.g. his first wife Khadija or Fatima, the daughter of the prophet), as well as selected figures of Muslim Arab women from later centuries. The question will also be raised as to how the authors of the examined texts perceive and evaluate the position of women in Arab Medieval societies.
La contestación a los próceres. Pugna de facciones y desórdenes en Valencia (1376-1478)
Authors: Narbona Vizcaíno Rafael
Published: November 2021

La intermitencia de los ataques verbales y escritos contra las decisiones de gobierno de la ciudad de Valencia, a lo largo de un siglo, se inscriben en una dinámica de partidos rivales, que liderados por los miembros de la oligarquía arrastraron a gran parte de los ciudadanos y de los menestrales mediante fórmulas clientelares. Las circunstancias concretas de las protestas superaron los cauces institucionales previstos en una asamblea municipal, que se renovaba anualmente y que acogía una amplia representación social, la cual se demostró más como plataforma para la adhesión de los vecinos y menos como órgano de discusión en la competencia por conseguir o mantener la hegemonía.

Structural Phase States and Surface Properties of Steel 45 after Electroexplosive Borocoppering and Electron-Beam Treatment
Authors: Vashchuk E.S. , Budovskikh E.A. , Bashchenko L.P. , Gromov V.E. , Aksenova K.V.
Published: November 2021

The paper concerns improving the microhardness and wear resistance of steel 45 by the combined treatment of electroexplosive borocoppering with the subsequent electron-beam treatment. It is found that surface roughness at the area of the electroexplosive treatment increases along with the absorbed power density and the mass of boron powder. The electron-beam treatment leads to a decrease of roughness and appearance of craters instead of radial melt flow traces. The depth structure of the electroexplosive alloying area with a thickness of 25 µm includes a coating layer, near-surface, intermediate, and boundary layers. The surface microhardness and the depth of the hardening zone after the electroexlosive alloying increase along with the absorbed power density and boron concentration and reach the values of 1400 HV The electron-beam treatment causes merging of the coating and the surface layers and increases the hardening zone depth up to 80 µm. A cellular or dendritic crystallization structure is formed near the surface, and a grain structure is formed in the depth. The inhomogeneous distribution of alloying elements over the volume of the alloying area and its adjustment during the electron-beam treatment are established. The inter-dendritic distances and grain diameters increase as the absorbed power density becomes higher with the increase of the electron-beam treatment exposure time. Also, the size of martensite needles increases in the depth. The combined treatment produces the sub microcrystalline strengthening phases-borides FeB, Fe2B, FeB2, carboboride Fe23 (C, B)6 , and carbide B4C. The microhardness level is reduced to 800 HV, and the wear resistance increases up to five times when compared to the wear resistance of the base.
Structural and Compositional Features of Garnet-Containing Samples Synthesized in a System with Samarium at High Pressure and High Temperature
Authors: Lin V.V. , Chepurov A.A. , Zhimulev E.I.
Published: November 2021

A distinctive feature of garnets associated with diamonds is specific containing of “light” rare earth elements. In the paper, the garnet-containing samples obtained at high pressure and high temperature in the system introduced with samarium (Sm) are studied. The experiments are carried out using a multianvil high-pressure apparatus of the “split-sphere” type (BARS) at a pressure of 5 GPa and a temperature of 1300 °С. The accuracy of measuring the pressure and temperature is ± 0.2 GPa и ± 25 °С, respectively. As a result, pyrope grains are synthesized with a CaO content no higher than 0.15 wt.% and Cr2O3 concentration within the range of 3.61-7.55 wt.%. The garnets are characterized by the stable presence of an impurity in the form of the Sm constituent. The garnets contain a significant amount of olivine inclusions. Crystals of the synthesized spinel are observed mainly in the interstices. This study demonstrates that the interaction of the components in the serpentine — chromite — corundum — Sm system leads to the crystallization of pyrope garnet, which forms large intergrowths of individual grains. The zoning observed in garnet is due to the transfer of components by fluid during the experiment. It is concluded that the Sm content in garnet can significantly increase depending on its content in the system.
Specifics of Construction of Measuring Transducers with Logometric Output Based on Interconnected Piezoresonators
Authors: Sedalishchev V.N. , Sergeeva Ya. S. , Strahatov D.O. , Pronin S.P.
Published: November 2021

The paper presents the results of simulation modeling of measuring devices. The simulation modeling is based on the use of coupled oscillations in systems with two degrees of freedom. Methods of controlling the parameters of the oscillatory system of the converter based on interconnected piezoresonators are considered. A comparative assessment of the metrological characteristics of possible variants of piezoresoanase sensors with logometric (differential) output is conducted.

It is shown that when the Q-factor of the oscillatory system of the primary converter is affected, a higher sensitivity of the measuring process is provided by the control of the active resistance of the coupling element replacement circuit between the resonators. In this case, it is proposed to use the ratio of the oscillation amplitudes of one of the interconnected resonators measured at the frequencies of common-mode and antiphase oscillations in the system as the output signal of the sensor. When the frequency-setting parameters of the converter are affected, it is recommended to use the ratio of the oscillation amplitudes of two interconnected piezoresonators measured at one of the normal frequencies of synchronized oscillations in the system to generate the output signal.

There are several advantages of measuring devices of this type, such as high sensitivity, simplicity of design, low cost, manufacturability, and operational applicability for harsh conditions.
Method of Equivalent Strength Conditions in Composite Structures Evaluations
Authors: Matveev A.D.
Published: November 2021

It is important to know the error or the approximate solution when calculating the strength of elastic composite structures (bodies) using the finite element method (FEM). To construct a sequence of solutions according to the FEM is necessary for the evaluation of the approximation error. It involves the grinding procedure for discrete models. The implementation of the grinding procedure for basic models that take into account the inhomogeneous, micro-homogeneous structures of bodies within the microapproach requires ample computer resources.

This paper proposes a method of equivalent strength conditions (MESC) to calculate the static strength of elastic bodies with a non-uniform, microuniform regular structure. The calculation of composite bodies strength according to the MESC is reduced to the calculation of isotropic homogeneous bodies strength using equivalent strength conditions. Adjusted equivalent strength conditions are used in the numerical implementation of the MESC. They take into account the error of the approximate solutions. If a set of loads is specified for a composite body, then generalized equivalent strength conditions are applied. The FEM-based calculation of composite bodies strength that follows the MESC using multigrid finite elements requires 103 ÷ 105 times less computer memory than a similar calculation using ground basic models of composite bodies. The provided example of strength calculation for a beam with an inhomogeneous regular fiber structure using the MESC shows its high efficiency. The main MESC implementation procedures are outlined.

This research provides an alternative view of the tahfidz method, which is useful in implementing the tahfidzul Qur'an program.
The Figure of Omid Safi: Progressive Muslim, Gender Mainstreaming, and Islamic Education
Authors: Rohinah
Published: November 2021

This study aims to determine Omid Safi's concept in the current discourse on gender equality and Islamic education. This study uses qualitative methods with critical and philosophical literal studies. It develops methods by collecting related literature, highlights essential concepts, categorizes information, applies similar procedures to other texts, extracts some concepts, and finds other supporting information. The results show that progressive Muslims are the central theme of Omid Safi's concept. Progressive Muslims study textual sources and materials in the Islamic tradition, interpret them and then link the ancient traditions with the contemporary era. Safi calls them as multiple critiques. Safi, in his concept on progressive Muslims, presents writings that offer an agenda of gender equality. It emphasizes a new paradigm of interpretations of the Qur’an and Hadith, which are considered imperfect because they are still based on the interests of particular groups so that the position of women is always marginalized. People's understanding that is still partial to the distinction between feminism and gender is also the cause of gender injustice. Women in their historical trajectory have proven their success in playing a heavier social role than men. Furthermore, Safi's concept in education, especially Islamic education, has a primary focus on the "teacher figure" as a prototype for Muslims who must have a progressive perspective and paradigm. This study highlights and interprets Omid Safi's concept of progressive Muslims in the discourse of gender and Islamic education.
Resistencia cultural de prácticas artísticas en el espacio público: mapeando artes en el Barrio Veinte de Julio. Localidad Cuarta San Cristóbal en Bogotá.

Published: November 2021

Las prácticas artísticas en el Barrio Veinte de Julio, en el suroriente de la ciudad de Bogotá, presentan dinámi-cas que ponen en tensión las formas de habitación y el manejo del espacio público por los entes gubernamen-tales encargados para tal fin. Si bien la ocupación del espacio público, por parte de comerciantes, invisibiliza las acciones o prácticas artísticas, estas —a pesar de esta situación—, circulan en mitad de la congestión del espacio y de la multiplicidad de actividades y mejoran los altos niveles de violencia que existen en la localidad. Aunque en una primera aproximación las artes y sus prácticas parecen prácticamente invisibles, un análisis detenido de las lógicas del barrio permite entender la convivencia, existencia y resistencia de estas, en el territorio abordado

We explain by elementary means why the existence of a discrete series representation
of a real reductive group G implies the existence of a compact Cartan subgroup of G. The presented approach has the potential to generalize to real spherical spaces.

By partitioning the Λ-lattices of a given dimension into “varieties of lattices”, we show that
there are only finitely many rigid Λ-lattices L of any given dimension. As a consequence we show that if
the first Hochschild cohomology of Λ vanishes, then the Picard group and the outer automorphism group of Λ are finite. In particular, the Picard groups of blocks of finite groups defined over

A Tale of Two Trans Men: Transmasculine Identity and Trauma in Two Fairy-Tale Retellings
Authors: Jorgensen Jeana
Published: November 2021

Transgender identities in fairy tale retellings are rare, but can reveal much about gender fluidity. Helen Oyeyemi’s novel Boy, Snow, Bird conflates transgender identities with mirrored falsehoods and fairy-tale spells, pathologizing a trauma victim who turns out to also become an abuser, while Gabriel Vidrine’s novella “A Pair of Raven Wings” depicts a queer transgender man with dignity, making it clear that the trauma he suffers is at the hands of bigots rather than being an invention of a sick mind or the cause of his transition. Pairing these fairy-tale retellings illuminates the topic of gender fluidity in fairy tales by demonstrating that gender is indeed fluid, but that representations of gender fluidity due to trauma are misguided at best and harmful at worst, while those representations that assert the dignity of transgender people, even as they face trauma at the hands of bigoted people, are another stellar example of the genre’s potential to represent people who are culturally marginalized, connecting identity to power in a classic magical fairy-tale move.
A Sixteenth-Century Swedish Chronicler and his King on Folktales and Ballads
Authors: Meyer Ole , Crozier Alan
Published: November 2021

The first Scandinavian mentions of magic folk tales and ballads are by two clergymen-cum-historians, Olavus Petri (the Swedish reformer, 1493–1552), in a generic discussion in the lengthy Introduction to his unpublished Swedish Chronicle), and Anders Foss (1543–1607, Danish-born bishop of Bergen in Norway), who cites ATU 327B & 853 in a discussion of the reliability of Saxo’s late twelfth-century Gesta Danorum). Both discuss the value of traditional oral tales (and ballads) as historical sources: Anders Foss rejects them, whereas Olavus Petri emphasizes their value as expressions of demotic attitudes towards the rich and mighty. This was heavily censured by King Gustaf I Vasa, who forbade the publication of Olavus’ Chronicle.

Note on terminology:

Olavus Petri’s preface, a large part of which is here translated for the first time, seems to be the first evidence of the Swedish word “sagor” (plural of “saga”) being used to denote a specific narrative genre (= wonder tales?). Similarly, Anders Foss’s “euentyrer” (archaic plural form of “eventyr” = Märchen, sg. & pl.) is probably the first example of the word being used in this sense in Danish (other than in the still current meaning “adventure” or “quest”).

Industrially, the use of far-infrared (FIR) as a heat source for drying daylily presents some issues, such as high energy consumption and large loss of nutrients. The use of mid-infrared (MIR) was performed to study the drying of daylily to explore its advantages, with the FIR drying as a comparison. Drying models were established by the drying kinetics, and the changes of nutrition, rehydration ratio (RR) and water migration pattern were researched. The results showed the best-fitting drying model was the Modified Henderson and Pabis model. Under the same temperature, compared with FIR drying, the drying time of MIR drying was shortened by 50%, the effective moisture diffusivity (D
eff) was increased by 103%, the drying activation energy (E
a) was reduced by 10%, the reducing sugar and ascorbic acid retention rate was increased by 13.9% and 9.7%, respectively. The MIR drying had better RR and water migration characteristics.
A fully backward representation of semilinear PDEs applied to the control of thermostatic loads in power systems
Authors: Izydorczyk Lucas , Oudjane Nadia , Russo Francesco
Published: November 2021

We propose a fully backward representation
of semilinear PDEs with application to stochastic control.
Based on this, we develop a fully backward Monte-Carlo scheme allowing to
generate the regression grid, backwardly in time, as the value function is
computed. This offers two key advantages in terms of computational
efficiency and memory. First, the grid is generated adaptively in the areas of interest, and second, there is no need to store the entire grid.
The performances of this technique are compared in simulations
to the traditional Monte-Carlo forward-backward approach
on a control problem of thermostatic loads.
Identification of LIG1 and LIG3 as prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer

Published: November 2021

DNA ligase (LIG) plays a key role in connecting the 3′-OH end of a DNA strand to the 5′-P end of another DNA strand, resulting in the formation of a phosphodiester bond. It has been reported that LIGs (including LIG1, LIG3 and LIG4) play important roles in the occurrence and progression of many cancers. However, the role of LIGs in breast cancer (BC) is still unclear. In this study, we aim to reveal the expression level, function, and prognostic value of LIGs in BC. Bioinformatic tools were used to study the expression level, potential function and prognostic value of LIG1 and LIG3 in BC patients. ENCORI was used to predict microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate LIG1 and LIG3 and established a valuable miRNA–mRNA regulation network for BC. We found that the expression of LIG1 and LIG3 was upregulated in BC and predicted high relapse-free survival (RFS) in BC patients. Functional annotation analysis was performed to reveal the role of LIG1 and LIG3 in BC. In addition, hsa-miR-22-3p was identified to be potentially involved in the regulation of LIG3. We suggest that LIG1 and LIG3 are novel valuable prognostic biomarkers for BC and has-miRNA-22-3p may be a potential therapeutic target for BC.
Role of shallow water waves generated by modified Camassa-Holm equation: A comparative analysis for traveling wave solutions
Authors: Yokuş Asıf , Durur Hülya , Abro Kashif Ali
Published: November 2021

There is no denying fact that harmonic crystals, cold plasma or liquids and compressible fluids are usually dependent of acoustic-gravity waves, acoustic waves, hydromagnetic waves, surface waves with long wavelength and few others. In this context, the exact solutions of the modified Camassa-Holm equation have been successfully constructed on the basis of comparative analysis of (G′ /G− 1 /G) and (1 /G′)-expansion methods. The (G′ /G− 1 /G) and (1 /G′)-expansion methods have been proved to be powerful and systematic tool for obtaining the analytical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations so called modified Camassa-Holm equation. The solutions investigated via (G′ /G− 1 /G) and (1 /G′)-expansion methods have remarkably generated trigonometric, hyperbolic, complex hyperbolic and rational traveling wave solutions. For the sake of different traveling wave solutions, we depicted 3-dimensional, 2-dimensional and contour graphs subject to the specific values of the parameters involved in the governing equation. Two methods, which are important instruments in generating traveling wave solutions in mathematics, were compared both qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed and their advantages and disadvantages are revealed.

Objectives

There are currently scarce data exploring ureteric reimplantation (UR) during cytoreductive surgery (CRS).

Methods

We identified patients undergoing CRS for peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) of any origin at a single high-volume unit. UR was defined as ureteroureterostomy, transureterouretostomy, ureteroneocystostomy, ureterosigmoidostomy or ileal conduit performed during CRS. Peri-operative outcomes, long-term survival and risk factors for requiring UR were analysed.

Results

Seven hundred and sixty-seven CRSs were identified. Twenty-three (3.0%) procedures involved UR. Bladder resection and colorectal cancer (CRC) were associated with increased risk of UR (bladder resection: OR 12.90, 95% CI 4.91–33.90, p<0.001; CRC: OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.05–6.01, p=0.038). UR did not increase the risk of Grade III–IV morbidity or mortality. The rate of ureteric leak was 3/23 (13.0%) in the UR group. Mean survival was equivocal in patients with CRC (58.14 vs. 34.25 months, p=0.441) but significantly lower in those with high-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (HAMN) undergoing UR (73.98 vs. 30.90 months, p=0.029).

Conclusions

UR during CRS does not increase major morbidity or mortality for carefully selected patients, and is associated with low rates of urologic complications. Whilst decreased survival was apparent in patients with HAMN undergoing UR, it is unclear whether this relationship is causal.
