Authors: Zhao Junlei , Byggmästar Jesper , He Huan , Nordlund Kai , Djurabekova Flyura , Hua Mengyuan
Published: December 2022

Ga2O3 is a wide-bandgap semiconductor of emergent importance for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. However, vital information of the properties of complex coexisting Ga2O3 polymorphs and low-symmetry disordered structures is missing. In this work, we develop two types of kernel-based machine-learning Gaussian approximation potentials (ML-GAPs) for Ga2O3 with high accuracy for β/κ/α/δ/γ polymorphs and universal generality for disordered structures. We release two versions of interatomic potentials in parallel, namely soapGAP and tabGAP, for excellent accuracy and exceeding speedup, respectively. We systematically show that both the soapGAP and tabGAP can reproduce the structural properties of all the five polymorphs in an exceptional agreement with ab initio results, meanwhile boost the computational efficiency with 5×102 and 2×105 computing speed increases compared to density functional theory, respectively. The results show that the liquid-solid phase transition proceeds in three different stages, a "slow transition", "fast transition", and "only Ga migration". We show that this complex dynamics can be understood in terms of distinct behavior of O and Ga sublattices in the interfacial layer.

Published: December 2022

In the current scenario, the production of biodiesel from non-edible oil is a promising way to overcome the problems associated with the energy crisis and environmental issues. In this research, non-edible biodiesel blends of B10, B20, B30, B40, and B100 methyl esters of Ceiba pentandra oil with standard diesel fuel are used to investigate the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a variable compression ratio engine at different load conditions compared to diesel. The compression ratios 16.5:1, 17.5:1, 18.5:1 are employed in a 1500 rpm constant speed, single-cylinder with a variable compression ratio, direct injection, four-stroke diesel engine for experimental investigation. Performance and combustion characteristics such as brake specific energy consumption, brake thermal efficiency, net heat release rate and emission characteristics such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen are investigated. The biodiesel blend B10 and B20 showed optimal performance with fewer emissions.

The wet processing of Arabica coffee consumes energy and water, and generate large amounts of by-products. These by-products contain organic materials that cause environmental pollution and degradation. Some of the by-products are energy containingcompounds that can be used to supply energy needs in the production process. This study aims to develop a closed model of energy-independent Arabica coffee production. The model was developed based on mass flows in the coffee production process.One mass balance equation can be made for each stage of the process. The model showed that the optimal yield of green coffeebean production was 28%. Coffee production of a capacity of 5,500 kg of cherries per day has energy potential of by-products of 6,161,286 kcal originating from the outer skin, pulp and parchment. Energy conversion using boiler can meet production energy needs of 117.20 kWh per day. This study concluded that Arabica coffee wet processing can be developed as an energy independent production by optimally utilising of by-products.

There are two distinct congenital anomalies of the pancreas-annular pancreas and pancreas divisum-both of which have the potential to manifest in infancy with symptoms that are taken to indicate duodenal blockage. However, symptoms such as stomach discomfort, postprandial fullness, and pancreatitis may not appear until maturity. An annular pancreatic divisum that required duodenopancreatectomyin a 32-year-old woman with a history of hyperthyroidism treated with carbimazole was admitted in our department. The MRCP was important in making the accurate diagnosis. This article describes the symptoms and potential treatments for annular pancreas divisum.

Authors: Matheus Da Silva Noronha Gabriel , Andrade Da Silva Alessandro , Silva De Souza Pinheiro Jaqueline
Published: December 2022

Objective: Companies in the cybersecurity consulting market are expanding their services in periodic training to business stakeholders and enforcement of security policies. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the importance of consulting in information security policies aimed at small and medium-sized companies. Methods: It is characterized as a narrative literature review with a qualitative approach, which does not use explicit and systematic criteria for the search and critical analysis of the selected literature. Results: Tools needed for cybersecurity include endpoint detection and response (EDR), antivirus software, next-generation firewalls, Domain Name System (DNS) protection, email gateway security, intrusion detection and prevention, logging and log monitoring, endpoint protection, authentication and virtual private network (VPN) services, cloud-based security, web application firewalls (WAFs), software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), enterprise password management , privileged access management (GAP), vulnerability and threat management, and threat detection. Conclusions: In summary, SMBs seem to implement some of the basic cybersecurity measures only as part of their overall IT implementation. However, it appears that unless cybersecurity controls are included as part of an IT solution, many SMBs do not realize the resulting potential risks to their business.

Neuroendocrine tumors are aggressive and rare tumors which can occur almost everywhere in the body. The annual incidence of neuroendocrine tumors is 2.5-5 per 100000. We report 4 cases of appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors which were diagnosed incidentally on routine histopathological examination from the time period of December 2020 to November, 2022.The appendix is one of the most common single site for carcinoid tumor.Histopathologically, appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (aNETs) is mostly comprised of enterochromaffin (EC) cell type and derives from a subepithelial cell population, which is different from neuroendocrine tumor in other sites. Although rare, and usually detected incidentally in appendectomy, it is considered the most common type of appendiceal primary malignant lesion, and is found in 0.3%-0.9% of patients undergoing appendicectomy.Thesetumors rarely present with metastases. In surgical practice most surgeons may encounter only one or two such tumours during their career. Therefore, it is important to define correct management of such a rare tumor. We report a series of 4 aNETs found incidentally in appendicectomy specimens and discuss about management strategies.
ADOLESCENT HEALTH
Authors: Gauba Anu
Published: December 2022

Adolescent health, or youth health, is the range of approaches to preventing, detecting or treating young peoples health and well-being. The term adolescent and young people are often used interchangeably, as are the terms Adolescent Health and Youth Health. Young peoples health is often complex and requires a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach. Social, cultural and environmental factors are all important areas of focus in adolescent health. Young people have specific health problems and developmental needs that differ from those of children or adults: The causes of ill-health in adolescents are mostly psychosocial rather than biological. Young people often engage in health risk behaviours that reflect the processes of adolescent development: experimentation and exploration, including using drugs and alcohol, sexual behaviour, and other risk taking that affect their physical and mental health. Adolescent health also encompasses childrens and young peoples sexual and reproductive health (SRH).
Impact of percutaneous coronary intervention in right coronary artery on right ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Authors: Rao Malladi Srinivasa
Published: December 2022

Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a potent predictor of mortality and morbidity following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite the fact that elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly decreased myocardial damage to the left ventricle, there is a lack of information regarding the effect of PCI on RV function. Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of right coronary artery (RCA) revascularization on the systolic and diastolic functions of the right ventricle following acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Methods: Fifty-nine patients diagnosed with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction after RCA revascularization were prospectively investigated between April 2018 and January 2020. The patients underwent 2D echocardiography. RV systolic and diastolic functions were reported before and after the PCI procedure and compared using echocardiographic RV systolic and diastolic parameters.Results: After PCI, echocardiographic RV systolic and diastolic functions significantly improved in the proximal and mid RCA in terms of TAPSE, RVFAC, and E/A. Significant improvement was found in the mid RCA in terms of S´ velocity (p=0.008) and in the proximal RCA in terms of E/e´(p=0.021). Overall echocardiographic systolic and diastolic parameters in patients with RV dysfunction following PCI were improved [TAPSE (37.29% vs. 81.82%), S´ velocity (37.29% vs. 68.18%), RVFAC (33.90 % vs. 90.00%), and E/A (33.90% vs. 75.00%)].Conclusion: Our findings revealed that patients with RV dysfunction showed remarkable improvement after RCA revascularization. Hence, in future cases, RCA revascularization may become an appropriate treatment alternative for the recovery of patients with RV dysfunction.
Incidental diagnosis of right-to-left atrial shunt by computed tomography
Authors: Colkesen Yucel
Published: December 2022

The existence and direction of an atrial shunt is normally diagnosed using echocardiography. A right-to-left atrial shunt, uncovered on routine computed tomography angiography, is presented. Transthoracic echocardiography verified the atrial shunt. TTE with intravenous agitated saline revealed the appearance of microbubbles in the left side of the heart. Atrial septal defects are a common cause of congenital heart diseases in adulthood. It may remain silent for decades because of the asymptomatic nature of the disease. Right-to-left atrial shunt is uncommon in patients with ASD.

Application of clustering algorithms to detect abnormal state of pumping equipment
Authors: Valeev Anvar , Siraeva Aliia , Chen Yang
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to detection of an abnormal and pre-emergency state of pumping equipment using clustering and anomaly search algorithms. A background for research is the need to search for and apply methods for assessing the technical condition and identifying emerging defects in an automated mode for a wide range of equipment that give results at an earlier stage than existing ones. To achieve this goal, we consider the use of machine learning methods to analyze the parameters of equipment operation over a certain time period in order to create an algorithm for detecting anomalies in data, which in this case will be signs of abnormal operation. This article discusses the application of clustering based on the k-means method. So, in this research three normal operating modes of pumping equipment were recognized in the synthesized data. Based on the analysis of the distribution of each measurement to the corresponding nearest cluster centroid, the maximum distance from each measurement point to it was determined, which further served as a criterion for classifying a certain measurement as data outliers. As a result of the analysis, five measurements were identified that correspond to the abnormal operation of oil pumping equipment. Also, the ranges of normal operation of the equipment were compiled for each of the measured parameters of its operation, which forms the threshold values for classifying the state of the equipment as an abnormal or emergency state. The proposed approach has such advantages as the possibility of full automation, adaptation to various operating modes of the equipment, no need to share data outside the pumping station, early detection of emerging defects and the onset of an emergency.
The Position of Kurdish Women in the View of the British in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
Authors: MUHAMMAD Qadir
Published: December 2022

When British travelers visited Kurdish regions in the first half of the twentieth century they recorded their memories and opinions on Kurdish society, especially the position of women. This article analyses the text the British travelers produced to understand whether they were written from an orientalist perspective. The freedom of Kurdish women impressed the British travellers and officers, and in particular they differentiated between Kurdish women and other Muslim societies. They admired the high status of Kurdish women in society regardless of class, in both rural and urban communities. That freedom was reflected in their clothing, lack of face coverings and confident treatment of foreigners. Women participated in politics, became leaders of their communities, and educated themselves, leading British travelers to make comparisons between Kurdish and European women. This article challenges the idea that British travelers considered Kurdish women solely from an orientalist perspective. While orientalism determined many of their views on Kurdish society, British views of Kurdish women were informed by comparison with Europeans.

One of the important commodities for the Indonesian people produced from the marine sector is salt. The variety of salting problems has more or less affected the competitiveness of people's salt in each region in Indonesia. This condition clearly affects the welfare of salt farmers, because the selling price of salt received by farmers tends to be low. Tuban Regency is a coastal area that contributes to the achievement of salt production targets in East Java. Geographically, Tuban Regency is in the middle of salt processing areas, namely Surabaya-Gresik and Pati-Rembang, where these areas are also salt producing areas as well. Seeing this phenomenon, this study was conducted to analyze what factors affect the competitiveness of local salt in Tuban Regency. This study used primary data with a total of 90 respondents conducted randomly or random sampling. The analysis tool used is factor analysis. The research location was carried out in the salt production center area in Tuban regency, namely in Palang district and Tambakboyo district. From the results of the analysis, the results were obtained that there were five (5) factors that affect the competitiveness of local salt in Tuban Regency from the most influential to the factors that had the least influence, namely (1) Government Assistance, (2) Supporters, (3) Production Time and Government Regulations, (4) Social, and (5) Production and Post-Production.

Published: December 2022

In the spectra of the photoemission quantum yield of p-GaAs(Cs,O) measured in the reflection geometry, a peak was found at a photon energy lower than the band gap of GaAs. It is shown that the appearance of the peak is due to the trapping of weakly absorbed radiation, which scatters diffusely on the rough back face of the epitaxial structure. Possible microscopic mechanisms of the appearance of the peak are discussed: the Franz-Keldysh effect in the surface electric field and adsorption-modified optical transitions in cesium adatoms.

To calculate the angular dependence of the threshold sputtering energy on the ratio of the target masses and incident ions, the target surface blocking phenomenon is used. It is established that the angular dependence of the threshold sputtering energy varies inversely proportional to the cosine of the incidence angle of the primary beam on the target (the angle is measured from the normal to the target surface) to power s/2 (s is a power exponent in the interaction potential of colliding particles). A comparison with the literature data is carried out.

Identifying and Categorizing Adverse Events in Trials of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Narrative Scoping Review of Trials in the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Registry
Authors: Gómez Bergin Aislinn D , Valentine Althea Z , Rennick-Egglestone Stefan , Slade Mike , Hollis Chris , Hall Charlotte L
Published: December 2022

Background

To contextualize the benefits of an intervention, it is important that adverse events (AEs) are reported. This is potentially difficult in trials of digital mental health interventions, where delivery may be remote and the mechanisms of actions less understood.

Objective

We aimed to explore the reporting of AEs in randomized controlled trials of digital mental health interventions.

Methods

The International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number database was searched for trials registered before May 2022. Using advanced search filters, we identified 2546 trials in the category of mental and behavioral disorders. These trials were independently reviewed by 2 researchers against the eligibility criteria. Trials were included where digital mental health interventions for participants with a mental health disorder were evaluated through a completed randomized controlled trial (protocol and primary results publication published). Published protocols and primary results publications were then retrieved. Data were extracted independently by 3 researchers, with discussion to reach consensus when required.

Results

Twenty-three trials met the eligibility criteria, of which 16 (69%) included a statement on AEs within a publication, but only 6 (26%) reported AEs within their primary results publication. Seriousness was referred to by 6 trials, relatedness by 4, and expectedness by 2. More interventions delivered with human support (9/11, 82%) than those with only remote or no support (6/12, 50%) included a statement on AEs, but they did not report more AEs. Several reasons for participant dropout were identified by trials that did not report AEs, of which some were identifiable or related to AEs, including serious AEs.

Conclusions

There is significant variation in the reporting of AEs in trials of digital mental health interventions. This variation may reflect limited reporting processes and difficulty recognizing AEs related to digital mental health interventions. There is a need to develop guidelines specifically for these trials to improve future reporting.
Changes in Learning From Social Feedback After Web-Based Interpretation Bias Modification: Secondary Analysis of a Digital Mental Health Intervention Among Individuals With High Social Anxiety Symptoms (Preprint)
Authors: Beltzer Miranda L , Daniel Katharine E , Daros Alexander R , Teachman Bethany A
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

Biases in social reinforcement learning, or the process of learning to predict and optimize behavior based on rewards and punishments in the social environment, may underlie and maintain some negative cognitive biases that are characteristic of social anxiety. However, little is known about how cognitive and behavioral interventions may change social reinforcement learning in individuals who are anxious.

OBJECTIVE

This study assessed whether a scalable, web-based cognitive bias modification for interpretations (CBM-I) intervention changed social reinforcement learning biases in participants with high social anxiety symptoms. This study focused on 2 types of social reinforcement learning relevant to social anxiety: learning about other people and learning about one’s own social performance.

METHODS

Participants (N=106) completed 2 laboratory sessions, separated by 5 weeks of ecological momentary assessment tracking emotion regulation strategy use and affect. Approximately half (n=51, 48.1%) of the participants completed up to 6 brief daily sessions of CBM-I in week 3. Participants completed a task that assessed social reinforcement learning about other people in both laboratory sessions and a task that assessed social reinforcement learning about one’s own social performance in the second session. Behavioral data from these tasks were computationally modeled using Q-learning and analyzed using mixed effects models.

RESULTS

After the CBM-I intervention, participants updated their beliefs about others more slowly (P=.04; Cohen d=−0.29) but used what they learned to make more accurate decisions (P=.005; Cohen d=0.20), choosing rewarding faces more frequently. These effects were not observed among participants who did not complete the CBM-I intervention. Participants who completed the CBM-I intervention also showed less-biased updating about their social performance than participants who did not complete the CBM-I intervention, learning similarly from positive and negative feedback and from feedback on items related to poor versus good social performance. Regardless of the intervention condition, participants at session 2 versus session 1 updated their expectancies about others more from rewarding (P=.003; Cohen d=0.43) and less from punishing outcomes (P=.001; Cohen d=−0.47), and they became more accurate at learning to avoid punishing faces (P=.001; Cohen d=0.20).

CONCLUSIONS

Taken together, our results provide initial evidence that there may be some beneficial effects of both the CBM-I intervention and self-tracking of emotion regulation on social reinforcement learning in individuals who are socially anxious, although replication will be important.

Storability and shelf life of lafun has been a major challenge, especially in Nigeria, being a developing country that has limited or no storage facilities. Hence, necessitates a continuous search for remedies. This study thus evaluates the quality, safety, and acceptability of stored lactic lafun using different packaging materials. A 120 kg of cassava “TMS – IBA 01137” was procured from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Oyo state, Nigeria, and was fermented using Weissella koreensis stock culture obtained from University of Readings, United Kingdom. The fermented product was allowed for further processing; to obtain the end product “Lactic lafun.” The samples were then introduced into four different packaging materials which include Ziploc transparent bag, Ziploc opaque bag, vacuum sealed transparent bag, and vacuum sealed opaque bag for 90 days. Physicochemical, pasting, sensory, and microbial analyses were carried out every 30 days. The results showed for microbial analysis, showed that the Ziploc materials contain high microbial count as it has the highest count of bacteria (6.8–7.5 LogCFU) and fungi (7.0–9.0 LogCFU) throughout the storage period. The proximate analysis also showed increase in moisture content (p<0.05) in transparent packaging materials when compared with their baseline sample at day 0 (3.5±0.09) whereas, there was no significant changes in the ash, fiber, CHO, and lipid across all the samples. The carotenoid content level decreased significantly (0.212±0.04) in the transparent packaging materials with increasing days of storage when compared to the baseline sample (1.977±0.012). There is a significant reduction (p<0.05) in the hydrogen cyanide of the lafun sample when compared to the baseline. The organoleptic property showed no significant difference in the acceptability of all the samples. It can, therefore, be concluded that lactic lafun produced from yellow cassava stored in opaque materials presents a viable and sustainable means of tackling carotenoid deficiencies and spoilage of lafun over a long period of time.

This study was conducted to take inventory of edible forest insects and evaluate their contributions to the livelihood of the people of southwest Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select three states (Lagos, Ogun and Kwara). Four towns were selected in each of the states while five respondents were randomly selected from each town. Sixty (60) Pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was administered to selected respondents in the study area. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study showed that majority of the respondents are married (53.4 %), female (61.7 %) with (75 %) having at least secondary education. The study also revealed that 10 different insects were collected and utilized for various purposes by the respondents with Macrotermes bellicosus and Apis mellifera being the most sort after insects, (18.2 %) each, while 66.7 % of the respondents collect/harvest their products during raining season mostly by hunting (30.1 %). Majority (70.7 %) of the respondents generate over ₦20,000 from sales of edible insects annually, while 21.5 % of the respondents opined that seasonal availability and irritating physical structure are the major constraints militating against the consumption of edible insects in the study area. Avoiding deforestation and indiscriminate forest fire were the major conservation measures suggested by the respondents. It was recommended that government should enforce legislation against bush burning and illegal felling of trees.

Published: December 2022

Objective: COVID-19 is transmissible disease triggered by SARS-CoV-2 strain of coronavirus family. It infected a million of people worldwide. Hence, an attempt was made to identify natural compounds from Terminalia arjuna, having multiple medicinal values in Indian Ayurveda, to prevent the disease, using molecular docking, drug likeness prediction and ADME analysis.
Methods: SARS-CoV-2 main protein was retrieved from the PDB database. The ligands with poor binding and molecules that can affect docking were removed and docking is done with PyRx tool. ADME and drug likeness analysis were done using Swiss-ADME and Admetlab web server.
Results: Ramachandran plot analysis shows the statistical distribution of the combinations of the backbone dihedral angles ϕ and ψ of the protein. Molecular docking studies show five compounds from T. arjuna, which have potential binding affinity to resist the main protease Mpro by preventing proteolytic cleavage, translation, and replication of virus. ADMET profile and drug likeness prediction showed that, among these five compounds Triterpenoid and N-Desmethyl Sildenafil were safe and possess the drug-like properties.
Conclusion: The present study suggests that Triterpenoid and N-Desmethyl Sildenafil have specific binding affinity and they could inhibit main protease Mpro and also helps to manage the therapeutic strategies against COVID-19.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by the genus Candida. It is otherwise called moniliasis, thrush, and candidosis. Candida albicans is the most one to cause an infection in humans and other species such as Candida auris, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, C. parapsilosis, and Candida lusitaniae. It is categorized into oral candidiasis, invasive candidiasis, vulvovaginal, and genital candidiasis. In general, Candida yeasts are present in the human body and their growth is limited by the human immune system. When an imbalance, colonization of Candida occurs finally leads to an infection. It is mainly affected in immune compromised patients followed by risk factors such as diabetes, stem cell transplantation, organ transplantation, and prolonged use of antibiotics, and steroids. It can be diagnosed to overcome this infection by direct examination of smear, culture, and biopsy. Fluconazole is the first line drug to treat candidiasis and Amphotericin-B, Caspofungin, Voriconazole also used.
COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH USING PHYTOCHEMICALS FROM THE ACACIA CAVEN PLANT TO COMBAT THE VP40-FUNCTIONALIZED EBOLA VIRUS ILLNESS
Authors: KRISHNA SHAMANTH
Published: December 2022

Objectives: The Ebola virus is an extraordinarily deadly illness that affects both humans and wild animals. Key elements in viral proliferation include viral adhesion to cell membranes and viral penetration into the host organism. The viral protein present in the Ebola virus is the matrix protein Viral Protein-40 (VP-40) which is required for the development and integration of the nucleocapsid. Limiting VP40 activity prevents the viral infection from spreading.
Methods: Ten phytochemicals from Acacia caven were examined for their physicochemical properties, drug-likeness, and their potential to impede VP40 to assess their potential as anti-Ebola virus therapeutics.
Results: Considering the pharmacological uses, ten bioactive chemicals were chosen for this investigation. Predicated on their docking score and binding interactions, Pimara-8(14), 15-diene, Heptacosane, and Geranylacetone were recognized as VP-40 inhibitors.
Conclusion: Developing medicines that can inhibit VP40 could be a potential anti-Ebola virus treatment solution as VP40 is a fundamental protein for the assemblage of virion. Using the ligands Geranylacetone, Heptacosane, and Pimara-8(14), 15-diene, anti-Ebola virus therapeutics can be developed that specifically target the VP40 suppression which aids in the management of Ebola Virus disease.
