Sex Differences in the Alcohol-Mediated Modulation of BLA Network States
Authors: DiLeo Alyssa , Antonoudiou Pantelis , Ha Spencer , Maguire Jamie L.
Published: July 2022

Alcohol use, reported by 85% of adults in the United States, is highly comorbid with mood disorders, like generalized anxiety disorder and major depression. The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is an area of the brain that is heavily implicated in both mood disorders and alcohol use disorder. Importantly, the modulation of BLA network/oscillatory states via parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons has been shown to control the behavioral expression of fear and anxiety. Further, PV interneurons express a high density of δ subunit-containing GABAAreceptors (GABAARs), which are sensitive to low concentrations of alcohol. Therefore, we hypothesized that the effects of alcohol may modulate BLA network states that have been associated with fear and anxiety behaviors via δ-GABAARs on PV interneurons in the BLA. Given the impact of ovarian hormones on the expression of δ-GABAARs, we also examined the ability of alcohol to modulate local field potentials in the BLA from male and female C57BL/6J andGabrd−/−mice after acute and repeated exposure to alcohol. Here, we demonstrate that acute and repeated alcohol can differentially modulate oscillatory states in male and female C57BL/6J mice, a process that involves δ-GABAARs. This is the first study to demonstrate that alcohol is capable of altering network states implicated in both anxiety and alcohol use disorders.
PLCβ-Mediated Depletion of PIP2and ATP-Sensitive K+Channels Are Involved in Arginine Vasopressin-Induced Facilitation of Neuronal Excitability and LTP in the Dentate Gyrus
Authors: Lei Saobo , Boyle Cody A. , Mastrud Morgan
Published: July 2022

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) serves as a neuromodulator in the brain. The hippocampus is one of the major targets for AVP, as it has been demonstrated that the hippocampus receives vasopressinergic innervation and expresses AVP receptors. The dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells (GCs) serve as a gate governing the inflow of information to the hippocampus. High densities of AVP receptors are expressed in the DG GCs. However, the roles and the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of AVP in the DG GCs have not been determined. We addressed this question by recording from the DG GCs in rat hippocampal slices. Our results showed that application of AVP concentration-dependently evoked an inward holding current recorded from the DG GCs. AVP depolarized the DG GCs and increased their action potential firing frequency. The excitatory effects of AVP were mediated by activation of V1areceptors and required the function of phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ). Whereas intracellular Ca2+release and protein kinase C activity were unnecessary, PLCβ-induced depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was involved in AVP-evoked excitation of the DG GCs. AVP excited the DG GCs by depression of the ATP-sensitive K+channels, which were required for AVP-elicited facilitation of long-term potentiation at the perforant path–GC synapses. Our results may provide a cellular and molecular mechanism to explain the physiological functions of AVP, such as learning and memory, and pathologic disorders like anxiety.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions as a thermogenic organ and is negatively associated with cardiometabolic diseases. N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modulation regulates the fate of stem cells. Here, we show that the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)–E‐prostanoid receptor 3 (EP3) axis was activated during mouse interscapular BAT development. Disruption of EP3 impaired the browning process during adipocyte differentiation from pre‐adipocytes. Brown adipocyte‐specific depletion of EP3 compromised interscapular BAT formation and aggravated high‐fat diet‐induced obesity and insulin resistance in vivo. Mechanistically, activation of EP3 stabilized the Zfp410 mRNA via WTAP‐mediated m6A modification, while knockdown of Zfp410 abolished the EP3‐induced enhancement of brown adipogenesis. EP3 prevented ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of WTAP by eliminating PKA‐mediated ERK1/2 inhibition during brown adipocyte differentiation. Ablation of WTAP in brown adipocytes abrogated the protective effect of EP3 overexpression in high‐fat diet‐fed mice. Inhibition of EP3 also retarded human embryonic stem cell differentiation into mature brown adipocytes by reducing the WTAP levels. Thus, a conserved PGE2‐EP3 axis promotes BAT development by stabilizing WTAP/Zfp410 signaling in a PKA/ERK1/2‐dependent manner.
Stability, cost-effectiveness, and global sensitivity analysis of COVID-19 model incorporating non-pharmaceutical interventions and indirect transmission
Authors: Darmawati  , Nur Wahyudin
Published: July 2022

Covid-19 is an ongoing pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Some interventions are implemented to control the spread of the disease. In Indonesia, there is a campaign related to non-pharmaceutical approach called 3M. This campaign is carried out so that people use masks, wash their hands, and keep their distance. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model considering non-pharmaceutical interventions and indirect transmission. The non-pharmaceutical interventions studied are the implementation of mask-wearing, handwashing, and social distancing. The model is presented as a system of first-order differential equations. The basic reproduction number is determined. The system has two equilibrium points, namely the disease-free equilibrium point and the endemic equilibrium point. The local stability condition of the disease-free equilibrium point is proved using the Lienard-Chipart criterion. Center manifold theory is used to prove the local stability condition of the endemic equilibrium point. We also study the optimal control strategy related to mask-wearing, handwashing, and social distancing. Furthermore, cost-effectiveness analysis of intervention strategies is also conducted by studying the average cost-effectiveness ratio of each intervention strategy. Our results show that the most effective strategy to control covid-19 spread is the combination of mask-wearing, handwashing, and social distancing. Moreover, the most cost-effective strategy is mask-wearing intervention. Global sensitivity analysis is performed by studying the partial rank correlation coefficient. The results show that mask-wearing intervention is the most influential intervention on basic reproduction number compared to social distancing and handwashing

Published: July 2022

Different dental cements and restorative materials may have various impacts on the shear bond strength (SBS) to titanium alloy of dental implants, and some fluoride-containing cements may destroy the oxide layer of Ti alloys. The aim of this study was to evaluate the retention and SBS of different dental cements to titanium alloy using different restorative materials and also the corrosive effect of dental cements on titanium alloy. In this in-vitro study, a total of ninety titanium alloy discs (10×3 mm) and restorative material discs (7×3mm) consisting of Co-Cr soft metal, zirconia, and Ni-Cr were constructed. Three dental cement of 2 different compositional classes, glass ionomer (GI) and zinc phosphate (ZP), were used to cement the discs (n=10 in each paired disks). SBS was evaluated using a universal testing machine with a cross-head speed of 1mm/min. A stereomicroscope (×32) and a scanning electron microscope were used to determine the fracture pattern and titanium corrosion, respectively. Data were then analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tamhane comparison test (P<0.05). The mean SBS of studied groups ranged from 0.12±0.07 to 6.2±0.97 Mpa, with the Ni-Cr and zirconia were demonstrated as the materials with the highest and lowest SBS to GI and ZP, respectively. The cements created a strong bond to the Co-Cr soft metal while the GI cement remained on restorative material disc surfaces in all samples, except in the zirconia sample. Mixed patterns were mostly seen in ZP cement groups. To conclude, applying fluoride-containing cements have no effect on titanium.
АКТУАЛЬНІ АСПЕКТИ ПОЛІТИКИ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ЯКОСТІ В ПОСТКОНФЛІКТНІЙ ЕКОНОМІЦІ УКРАЇНИ

Published: July 2022

Зміна якості життя кожного українця в нових реаліях вимагає переосмислення  наукового змісту концепції соціальної якості в постконфліктній економіці. Її переформатування зумовлене глибокими змінами в соціальному і економічному житті людства, що трансформується під впливом збройних конфліктів, масштабних терористичних актів, пандемії COVID-19, стійкого забруднення навколишнього середовища. В останнє десятиліття на планеті спостерігається тенденція до інтенсифікації насильства, про що свідчить кількість воєнних конфліктів. Глобальний характер розвитку конфліктності активізує проблему концепції соціальної якості для умов повоєнного відновлення суспільства в країнах, що постраждали від збройної агресії, відповідно за всіма базовими її компонентами.
Особливість реалізації концепції соціальної якості повоєнної соціоекономіки, зважаючи на суттєву відмінність умов і факторів, які традиційно визначають європейську практику, полягатиме як у традиційній участі держави в соціальному житті й забезпеченні соціальної якості повоєнного суспільства, що суттєво трансформується в умовах збройного протистояння, так і активній участі окремих особистостей у цьому процесі.
З початкового етапу відновлення соціоекономічного простору в повоєнний період на засадах соціальної якості необхідно дотримуватися фундаментальних соціальних прав на основі визначених Європейською соціальною хартією зі змінами 1996 р. Щоб не допустити поширення бідності та маргіналізації населення в повоєнний період відновлення і реструктуризації соціоекономічного простору, важливо залучати механізми, спрямовані на досягнення соціальної рівності на засадах солідарності та субсидіарності як спільних з ЄС соціальних цінностей.
З огляду на зміст і роль соціальної якості як одного з важливих механізмів соціоекономічного відродження і реструктуризації у повоєнний період, необхідно внести зміни в трактування самого поняття соціальної якості відповідно до її нематеріальних складових, пов’язаних із специфікою національної психіки та історичними особливостями, які найсильніше проявляються в умовах війни.

Phytohormones play a key role in the regulation of plant acclimation to low temperature. To elucidate the role of cytokinins in rye plant response to chilling, we studied the dynamics of these hormones in shoots and roots under short-term and prolonged cold stress. The 7-day-old plants were exposed to cold stress (2 °C) for 2 h (alarm phase of response) or for 6 h for two days (acclimation phase of response). Endogenous content of cytokinins was analyzed by HPLC-MS method. Low temperature had a differential effect on the content of individual cytokinins and their localization in rye plants. During the short-term stress, a decrease in the content of active cytokinins (trans-zeatin and trans-zeatin riboside) in the roots and an increase in the shoots were shown. Prolonged low-temperature stress declined the amount of cytokinins except trans-zeatin riboside, which was detected in both roots and shoots. Significant rise in trans-zeatin riboside content in roots and shoots in this period evidenced an important role of this cytokinin during cold acclimation of rye plants.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTStudies have investigated teacher vulnerability and its relation to teacher identity construction. Teacher vulnerability may emerge from internal and external conflicts based on teachers’ experiences. Though studies covered internal and external challenges for teachers, they rarely compared the academic environment aspect. This research intended to see if environment variables as external factors caused different experiences and vulnerabilities in novice EFL teachers. Therefore, this research aimed to determine if the different academic environments in formal and non-formal settings posed distinct challenges for novice EFL teachers. This study used narrative inquiry with a reflection and interview to gather the data. The participants were four novice EFL teachers: two teachers from formal education (FE) and non-formal education (NFE). The results showed that FE and NFE teachers shared some challenges, including student participation and classroom management, that led to vulnerability. Still, FE and NFE teachers also shared their distinct challenges. The teachers had similar strategies to cope with their vulnerability, but FE and NFE teachers employed additional strategies to face their distinct challenges. This study may help teachers consider different teaching environments for identifying and overcoming vulnerability. ABSTRAKBanyak studi telah meneliti kerentanan guru dan relasinya dengan pembentukan identitas guru.

Published: July 2022

Schizophrenia is one of the most complex mental disorders that can burden individuals and families, and it requires long-term treatment since it is a chronic disease that can potentially relapse. Therefore, this study compared the Health-Related Quality of life (HRQoL) of schizophrenic patients receiving a combination of antipsychotic therapy of risperidone and haloperidol (RH) antipsychotic therapy to clozapine, risperidone, and haloperidol (CRH). This was an observational cohort, prospective, pre-post observation study of schizophrenic inpatients at the Mental Hospital of West Kalimantan Province in the stable and discharge phases. Data were collected prospectively from March–May 2020, and consecutive sampling was conducted on 95 respondents. The Indonesian version of The 5-Level European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ5D-5L) questionnaire was filled by nurses and patients simultaneously to measure the HRQoL. The pre-therapy analysis performed at the stable phase using the Mann-Whitney test showed no difference in HRQoL between RH and CRH groups (p>0.05). Meanwhile, during the discharge phase (post-therapy), the HRQoL of the RH and CRH groups was not significantly different (p>0.05). The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference in the RH and CRH groups from the beginning of the patients’ stable phase to the discharge (p<0.05). Therefore, there is a significant difference between RH and CRH combination therapy as well as the HRQoL improvement of schizophrenic patients.

Published: July 2022

Randomised evidence supports an early rhythm control strategy as treatment for AF, and catheter ablation outperforms medical therapy in terms of effectiveness when studied as first- and second-line treatment. Despite evidence consistently showing that catheter ablation treatment is superior to medical therapy in most AF patients, only a small proportion receive ablation, in some cases after a prolonged trial of ineffective medical therapy. Health economics research in electrophysiology remains limited but is recognised as being important in influencing positive change to ensure early access to ablation services for all eligible patients. Such information has informed the updated recommendations from the recently published National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of AF, but increased awareness is needed to drive real-world adoption and to ensure patients are quickly referred to specialists. In this article, economic evaluations of catheter ablation versus medical therapy are reviewed.

Authors: Pérez López Esteban
Published: July 2022

El alto contenido de azúcar añadido en gran parte de las bebidas comerciales ha representado una problemática para la salud a nivel mundial desde hace muchos años, debido al alto consumo de este tipo de bebidas por parte de la población promedio, y donde el contexto costarricense no presenta un panorama distinto. Objetivo. La investigación reflejada en este artículo, se propuso realizar un escrutinio de las principales bebidas con contenido de azúcar añadido que se adquieren en el comercio de la zona occidental de Costa Rica, así como la indagación sobre los hábitos de consumo de este tipo de bebidas en la población estudiantil del Recinto de Grecia en la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Materiales y Métodos. Se desarrollaron visitas presenciales y virtuales a comercios de la zona de influencia del Recinto, con miras a lograr el inventariado de bebidas disponibles y la clasificación según su contenido de azúcares reportado en las etiquetas nutricionales, además de la elaboración y aplicación de una encuesta a estudiantes de las distintas carreras que se imparten en el Recinto de Grecia - UCR. Resultados. Destacan un inventariado exhaustivo de más de 191 bebidas distintas entre marcas y presentaciones con contenido de azúcar añadido, incluyendo gaseosas, hidratantes, jugos (no gaseosos) y energéticas. Asimismo, 147 estudiantes encuestados de los cuales la mayoría no consumen cantidades excesivas del tipo de bebidas en estudio, pero se obtienen elementos importantes que demandan atención especial en torno a la salud. Conclusiones. Se tiene que, en muchas de las bebidas contempladas en el estudio, el contenido de azúcares reportados en la etiqueta ya sobrepasa el consumo diario máximo recomendado de sacarosa, si se ingiere una bebida completa de un volumen de uso personal (600 mL o inferior); y que hay un porcentaje pequeño, pero no despreciable que requiere atención en los encuestados, por la alta ingesta de bebidas azucaradas y el deshabito con respecto a la práctica de ejercicio físico.

Using the video to promote peer and self - assessment in the English Class
Authors: Ureña Salazar Elvia
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this article is to present the results of using the video to promote peer and self – assessment in the first two oral English courses at University of Costa Rica, Paraiso Campus, Bachelor in English Teaching. In 2017 and 2018 students recorded three videos for each course in which they talked about some of the topics that were suggested by the instructor and were closely related to the course contents. In class, as group work, they used a guideline prepared by the instructor to review their peers’ videos. They focused on the presenter’s delivery, grammar, and pronunciation as well as in the content of the recording. During the peer evaluation activity, learners received written as well as oral responses from their partners. In the self – evaluation stage of the activity, they answered a questionnaire in which they indicated the number of times they recorded their videos before handing them to the instructor as well as their perception of their own performance as well as what they considered they needed to improve about it.  The idea behind asking them to write the number of times they had to record the video was to know if they had self – evaluated. The fourth video in each course asked pupils to value how their language competence had evolved, during the first semester and during the whole year respectively. Results show that incorporating the video in the language class was an effective strategy to promote peer and self-assessment.

La experiencia como profesora en los cursos de Comunicación y Lenguaje, y Guía Académica en la Universidad de Costa Rica, me ha mostrado una serie de falencias en las y los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso, en cuanto a la comprensión y capacidad para formular trabajos de investigación. Por otra parte, he observado que a este grupo estudiantil, los textos sobre metodologías de la investigación, les son complejos, muy técnicos y plenos en terminologías que ponen a prueba su resiliencia. Ante esto, se propone el presente texto, ser una vía amigable, para acercar las jóvenes mentes a los procesos de la investigación y sus bondades, sin perder de vista que dicha aproximación ha de hacerse para jóvenes cuya manera de conocer es ya distinta.

A Jaak Panksepp evolúciós alapokon nyugvó affektív idegtudományi elméletének keretein belül végzett kutatások új szemléletet jelentenek a személyiség megértésében abban a tekintetben, hogy feltárhatóvá válnak a személyiség affektív alapjai. A Panksepp és Davis által kidolgozott Affektív Idegtudományi Személyiség Skálák (ANPS) széles körben használt és elterjedt önjellemző mérőeszköz az elsődleges érzelmi vonások mérésére. Az ANPS három pozitív (KERESÉS, GONDOSKODÁS, JÁTÉKOSSÁG) és három negatív érzelmi skálát tartalmaz (DÜH, SZOMORÚSÁG, FÉLELEM), hetedik skálája pedig a Spiritualitás. Jóllehet az ANPS kérdőív 15 nyelven elérhető, magyar változata még nem készült. Jelen tanulmány célja e hiány pótlása és a kérdőív hazai adaptálása során kapott eredmények ismertetése. Egészséges felnőttek (N = 910) körében végeztünk adatgyűjtést keresztmetszeti kutatás keretében. Az ANPS kérdőív mellett a résztvevők kitöltötték a Viselkedéses Gátló és Aktiváló Rendszer Skálákat (BIS/BAS) és a Pozitív és Negatív Affektivitás Skálákat (PANAS). Az ANPS kérdőív valamennyi skálája jó reliabilitásmutatóval rendelkezik (Cronbach-α = 0,74–0,90). A megerősítő faktorelemzés alátámasztja mind a kétfaktoros, mind a hatfaktoros érzelmi modellt. A konvergens és diszkriminatív validitás vizsgálata a várt eredményeket hozta. Az ANPS skálák magyar adaptációja megfelelő pszichometriai mutatókkal rendelkezik, és alkalmas az elsődleges érzelmi rendszerek mérésére. A kérdőív nemcsak affektív idegtudományi, klinikai pszichológiai és kulturális összehasonlító kutatásokban alkalmazható önkitöltős mérőeszközként, hanem olyan vizsgálatokban is, amelyek evolúciós pszichológiai szemléletben értelmezik az érzelmeket és a személyiséget.
Emlőtumorhoz társuló lymphoedema és kezelése
Authors: Horváth Anna , Rédling Marianna
Published: July 2022

Az emlőtumorhoz társuló lymphoedema kialakulása jelentős életminőség-romlással és
szövődményekkel járhat. Kialakulásában a sebészeti beavatkozás mellett szerepet
játszik a kombinált terápia – sugárkezelés, kemoterápia, endokrin terápia – és
egyéb olyan hatások is, melyek a nyirokfunkció további károsodását idézik elő
(például sérülés, fertőzés, gyulladás vagy szisztémás betegség). Az emlőtumorhoz
társuló lymphoedema a daganat kezelése után többnyire nem azonnal jelentkezik,
akár évekkel később aktiválódhat, ezért különösen fontos az onkológiai gondozás
részeként a nyirokoedema szűrése az időben történő diagnosztizálás és a
megfelelő kezelés érdekében. A nagy rizikójú betegcsoportokban a szubklinikai
vizenyő korai észlelésére irányuló prospektív surveillance program javíthatja az
életminőséget. Jelenleg az emlőtumorhoz társuló lymphoedemában elsőként komplex
fizioterápiás kezelés javasolt, amely a diagnózis után minél hamarabb
elkezdendő. Az onkológiai rehabilitáció keretében a korai kezelés után a betegek
élethosszig tartó gondozása szükséges. Áttekintésünkben bemutatjuk az
emlőtumorhoz társuló lymphoedema patofiziológiáját, konzervatív kezelését és a
terápia új irányait. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(23): 902–910.

Purpose. The introduction of electronic load for testing high-precision low-voltage sources (solar panels) requires careful review not only of the circuit design, but also thermal and mechanical design. The article considers the principle of creating and calculating the optimal solution for the implementation of electronic load.
Methodology. To achieve this goal, methods of analysis of modern electronic database, calculations of basic physical and electrical parameters and their modeling are used.
Findings. Based on the considered physical and circuit solutions for the implementation of the electronic load unit, a corresponding electrical circuit was developed. The transistors are controlled by four unipolar operational amplifiers integrated into the LM324 chip. Control of the electronic load unit is implemented by controlling the voltage at the positive feedback terminals, which is further stabilized by the TL431 chip. The device is powered by a source of DC stabilized current of 12 V (provides additional filtering from voltage fluctuations).
Originality. Modern advances in the development of solar cells and other low-voltage energy sources have led to the need to create compact and express systems for testing them, which cannot be implemented on existing solutions.
Practical value. Adherence to the indications and principles set out in this article will provide the load with the ability to work at high power, while maintaining good performance and reliability. The developed scheme allows to create a compass device for express testing of solar panels.
To the original history of the Third Reich
Authors: Bloch Ernst
Published: July 2022

The article by E. Bloch raises the question of how the intellectual heritage of the distant past is appropriated by modern political movements. The author draws attention to the actualization of ancient folk dreams at the beginning of the twentieth century. He focuses on the reception of medieval religious teachings by the mass consciousness of Germans during the period of the birth of Nazism in Germany in the 1920s — 1930s. The way in which the concepts of medieval consciousness „leader“ and „Third Reich“ were introduced into the consciousness of contemporaries, Bloch qualifies as „deception“, distortion of their original meaning, transformation of meanings into opposite ones. The philosopher shows that the term „Third Reich“ has a long, truly revolutionary history, since in the original the Third Reich denoted the socio-revolutionary ideal dream of Christian heresy: the dream of the Third Gospel and the world corresponding to it. Bloch examines the influence of chiliasm on many historical revolutionary movements. Modern socialism, according to Bloch, is an attempt to realize the dreams of the medieval masses without mystical coloring. Then, the article traces in detail the evolution of the concept of „liberator of the oppressed“, „leader“ from the most ancient times; it also analyzes book texts and oral legends. The author emphasizes the constant motif of the „resurrected“ or „awakened“ Kaiser-liberator and his place in the mass consciousness. The conclusion is made about how the use of this image helped the Nazis in establishing their popularity. The article pays special attention to the life and ideas of Abbot Joachim Florsky (XII century) as an iconic figure of the socio-chiliastic turn. Bloch is interested in Florsky in connection with another important motif of the Middle Ages, which was actualized by Nazism: „this world’s Gospel“. Bloch analyzes the predecessors of Florsky’s teaching — Eriugen and the Saint Victorians. He proves that in Florsky’s interpretation, the mystical movement of the soul along the steps was projected onto the entire process of the movement of humanity, its history. He „put the earth under strict Christian requirements“, which should be implemented in the last, third stage. Further, Bloch traces the development of the idea of the trinity of stages of the historical movement from the Old Testament eschatological motives, Augustine, through the German Enlightenment and Romanticism up to the present (Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henrik Ibsen and others). Bloch concludes that „the neglect of the old ways and forms does not go unpunished“. The main result of the study can be understood as an indication that the old forms of mass dreams can be used by modern political forces with completely different goals and effects.

Logic Rule Guided Attribution with Dynamic Ablation
Authors: An Jianqiao , Lai Yuandu , Han Yahong
Published: July 2022

With the increasing demands for understanding the internal behaviors of deep networks, Explainable AI (XAI) has been made remarkable progress in interpreting the model's decision. A family of attribution techniques has been proposed, highlighting whether the input pixels are responsible for the model's prediction. However, the existing attribution methods suffer from the lack of rule guidance and require further human interpretations. In this paper, we construct the 'if-then' logic rules that are sufficiently precise locally. Moreover, a novel rule-guided method, dynamic ablation (DA), is proposed to find a minimal bound sufficient in an input image to justify the network's prediction and aggregate iteratively to reach a complete attribution. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed DA. We demonstrate the advantages of our method in providing clear and explicit explanations that are also easy for human experts to understand. Besides, through the attribution on a series of trained networks with different architectures, we show that more complex networks require less information to make a specific prediction.
Unbiased IoU for Spherical Image Object Detection

Published: July 2022

As one of the fundamental components of object detection, intersection-over-union (IoU) calculations between two bounding boxes play an important role in samples selection, NMS operation and evaluation of object detection algorithms. This procedure is well-defined and solved for planar images, while it is challenging for spherical ones. Some existing methods utilize planar bounding boxes to represent spherical objects. However, they are biased due to the distortions of spherical objects. Others use spherical rectangles as unbiased representations, but they adopt excessive approximate algorithms when computing the IoU. In this paper, we propose an unbiased IoU as a novel evaluation criterion for spherical image object detection, which is based on the unbiased representations and utilize unbiased analytical method for IoU calculation. This is the first time that the absolutely accurate IoU calculation is applied to the evaluation criterion, thus object detection algorithms can be correctly evaluated for spherical images. With the unbiased representation and calculation, we also present Spherical CenterNet, an anchor free object detection algorithm for spherical images. The experiments show that our unbiased IoU gives accurate results and the proposed Spherical CenterNet achieves better performance on one real-world and two synthetic spherical object detection datasets than existing methods.
