Authors: Vanette Cintia , Maniglia Fabio Fabricio , Hurtado Johann G. G. Melcherts
Published: August 2022

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging facial plastic surgeries. Some authors claim that this surgery should include stabilization of the base of the nose by means of some technique — for example, grafts (columellar strut, septal extensor) or sutures (tongue-in-groove). To try to elucidate which technique is ideal, this study evaluated the effects on nasal tip rotation and projection, comparing columellar strut to the tongue-in-roove technique. A retrospective study was conducted, which consisted of a preoperative and postoperative photographic analysis of patients who underwent rhinoplasty, in 2017 and 2018, at the Instituto Paranaense de Otorrinolaringologia (Curitiba/PR, Brazil) The Rhinobase® program was used to obtain measurements. After data analysis, it was observed no statistically significant difference between the groups, which was also observed by some authors who carried out similar studies in other countries. It can be concluded that both strut and tongue-in-groove are similar techniques for maintaining nasal tip projection and rotation in the postoperative period of rhinoplasty

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory condition of the inside of the nose, mediated by Immunoglobulin E, in response to an inhaled allergen. Clinically, it presents with nasal obstruction, runny nose, nasal and/or eye itching, and sneezing. For its symptomatic treatment, environmental control is essential and nasal steroids are the gold standard in the adult and pediatric population. Another form of treatment is immunotherapy, changing the response to the allergen via the immune tolerance mechanism. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is applied weekly to monthly, in contrast to sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), which is performed daily by the patient. For an effective treatment of chronic disease, the period of treatment and discipline in maintaining it must be respected. Objective: Analyze the main reasons why the patient gives up treatment with sublingual immunotherapy. Methods: This prospective and linear study evaluated patients at the IPO Hospital (Instituto Paranaense de Otorrinolaringologia, Curitiba, Brazil) who were undergoing treatment with sublingual immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis and who, for some reason, discontinued the recommended treatment. Results: The study sample consisted of 148 patients, 79 women and 69 men. The mean duration of treatment for patients who dropped out was 8.3 months. The cost was the most cited reason, which was mentioned by 47.3% of patients; followed by irregularity of use and absence of improvement with treatment, both with 23% each. The presence of side effects was included as a reason by 9.5% and still, 25% of respondents cited several other reasons as obstacles to treatment. Conclusion: The present study concluded that the main barriers found for treatment adherence are long treatment duration, cost, and regularity of use.

Published: August 2022

Epistaxis is one of the most common otorhinolaryngological emergencies. Most cases are self-limiting and do not require medical support. While some bleeds require simple local compression to stop the bleeding, others require a more invasive approach, such as ligation or cauterization of the anterior ethmoidal artery or sphenopalatine artery. Anterior ethmoidal artery surgery by external access has been extensively described and studied in the literature. The advent of the endoscope for this procedure has offered the possibility of providing patients and surgeons with an alternative way to perform the surgery. In the present study, patients with epistaxis who underwent endoscopic cauterization of the anterior ethmoidal artery or sphenopalatine artery were selected, and the postoperative results, complications, and recurrence of bleeding were evaluated. In addition, the surgical technique used was described. From these data, it was concluded that endoscopic cauterization surgery of the anterior ethmoidal artery or sphenopalatine artery is effective in the treatment of epistaxis.

Published: August 2022

Endolymphatic hydrops (EH) results from increased endolymph volume in the inner ear, which leads to episodic vertigo, ear fullness, and sensorineural hearing loss. In these patients, Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) examination has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis. These patients have also been suggested to have frequency-specific changes in otoacoustic emissions (OAE). The aim of this study is to evaluate the result of the OAE examination in patients with altered VEMP and clinical history compatible with EH. The medical records and exams of 107 patients with previous diagnosis of EH were retrospectively analyzed. The results of OAE were studied for their validation in the diagnosis of patients with EH. The results showed that 98.1% of the evaluated patients presented at least one OAE frequency with no response in low or high, with a 95% confidence interval of 95.6% to 100%. When comparing the cases with normal and altered audiometry, there was a significant difference regarding the left side (p=0.041), right (p<0.001) and left (p=0.001), low (p=0.006) and high (p<0.001). Overall, a trend towards significant difference was observed (p=0.077). It is concluded that there is a significant alteration in the OAE of patients with EH, showing that such exam has the potential for diagnosis and follow-up.

Published: August 2022

Several types of laser have been used in the larynx. A diode laser is a portable and relatively cheap device. Thus, this paper aims to report the experience with the use of diode laser in laryngeal microsurgeries, through the analysis of electronic medical records of 37 patients who underwent laryngeal microsurgery from January to June 2014. It was noted that the main indication for the surgery was in women, aged 50-60 years, the vast majority with a diagnostic hypothesis of vocal polyp. The optical fiber used was 400µm (micrometer), with a power of 3W, with pulsed emission mode, a pulse width of 20PPS, and a frequency of 25 milliseconds.The application time for the resection of the lesions was an average of 86 seconds, using an energy of 132 joules. Laryngeal microsurgery using the diode laser technique presented advantages, due to the ease of handling the equipment, safety during its use, and skillful surgical time, without the occurrence of any complications during its application in the vocal folds.

In the present paper, we describe a one-dimensional glacier parameterization for use in the numerical weather prediction models. The proposed scheme is implemented into the global atmospheric model SLAV. To avoid inconsistency of surface temperature and turbulent heat fluxes in the lower troposphere, glacier parameterization has been iteratively coupled with both planetary boundary layer and land surface schemes. First results from numerical experiments with the SLAV model show that the introduction of a simplified description of the glacier heat capacity can significantly improve the 2-meter temperature long-range weather forecast skill.

Authors: Korda Anna S. , Mikhailov Gennady A. , Rogasinsky Sergey V.
Published: August 2022

The problem of minimizing the root-mean-square error of the numerical-statistical projection estimation of the solution to an integral equation is solved. It is shown that the optimal estimator in this sense can be obtained by equalizing deterministic and stochastic components of the error in the case when the norm of the remainder of the utilized decomposition decreases inversely proportional to its length. As a test, the Milne problem of radiation transfer in a semi-infinite layer of matter is solved using Laguerre polynomials. To solve such a problem in the case of a finite layer, a special regularized projection algorithm is used.

Geriatric Vulnerabilities Among Obese Older Adults With and Without Sarcopenia: Findings From a Nationally Representative Cohort Study
Authors: Dondero Kathleen R. , Falvey Jason R. , Beamer Brock A. , Addison Odessa
Published: August 2022

Background and Purpose:

Sarcopenic obesity is associated with loss of independence among older adults, but the epidemiology of sarcopenic obesity and associated geriatric vulnerabilities are poorly understood. Thus, our objectives were to: (1) estimate the prevalence of older adults with sarcopenic obesity and (2) examine rates of geriatric vulnerabilities among obese older adults, with and without sarcopenia.

Methods:

A nationally representative sample of 1600 community-dwelling older adults 65 years and older with obesity and documented measures of muscle function from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) was identified as sarcopenic using sex-adjusted grip strength and Short Physical Performance Battery scores. Differences in the prevalence of geriatric vulnerabilities (including pain, depression, disability, and social isolation) were compared between obese older adults with and without sarcopenia.

Results and Discussion:

Among obese older adults, 18% (n = 318/1600) were sarcopenic. After adjusting for age and sex, sarcopenic obese older adults had 3.7 times the odds of having 2 or more comorbid conditions (odds ratio [OR] = 3.7; 95% CI 2.2-5.0) and 6.4 times the odds of being frail (OR = 6.4; 95% CI 4.4-9.5) as compared with nonsarcopenic obese older adults. Sarcopenic obese older adults were also more likely to have 1 or more activities of daily living disabilities (OR = 3.7; 95% CI 2.5-5.4), be socially isolated (OR = 2.1; 95% CI 1.3-3.2), and report activity-limiting pain (OR = 2.0; 95% CI 1.5-2.7) as compared with nonsarcopenic obese older adults. These findings, in a nationally representative cohort, suggest obese older adults who are sarcopenic have higher rates of geriatric vulnerabilities that could impact delivery and outcomes of exercise and nutrition interventions.

Conclusions:

Concomitant obesity and sarcopenia are associated with higher rates of geriatric vulnerabilities among a nationally representative sample of older adults. More comprehensive interventions, beyond exercise and diet modifications, may be necessary to additionally address these newly identified social and physiological risks.

Published: August 2022

Affected by interference factors such as Gaussian noise, the traditional methods have the problems of inaccurate diagnosis results of unsteady vibration signals, high uncertainty of fault diagnosis, and low overall fault diagnosis accuracy. In this paper, a fault diagnosis algorithm of vehicle internal combustion engine based on instantaneous speed and machine learning is proposed. The instantaneous speed is measured by the hardware method. According to the processing results of instantaneous speed, the unsteady vibration signal of the vehicle internal combustion engine is analyzed, and the principal components of unsteady vibration are separated to suppress the interference of Gaussian strong noise. The running state of the vehicle internal combustion engine is identified by the wavelet transform method. According to the identification results, the fault diagnosis of the vehicle internal combustion engine is realized by the twin support vector machine classification algorithm in machine learning. The experimental results show that the minimum uncertainty coefficient of fault diagnosis in this algorithm is 0.08, the accuracy of the unsteady vibration signal diagnosis is higher, and the overall accuracy of fault diagnosis is lower.

Published: August 2022

The objective of this study is to improve the production performance of apparel companies by identifying the appropriate sewing parameters for specific knitted fabric groups. For this purpose, knitted fabrics of 100 % cotton, 100 % viscose, 100 % polyester, and their blends with elastane were produced with different masses. The specimens were sewn with different sewing parameters. Then, seam strength and seam pucker values of the sewn specimens were measured before and after ten repeated washing cycles. The data were used to analyze the factors affecting the seam quality. The findings of this study revealed that fabric composition is an important factor in the selection of sewing thread. For polyester-based samples, the highest seam strength values were measured for samples sewn with core-spun thread both before and after washing. At the same time, the cotton and viscose-based fabrics generally gave better results with spun polyester thread before washing. However, after washing, the highest seam strength values were measured for these samples sewn with mercerized cotton thread. In addition, mercerized cotton and polyester spun threads had lower pucker values before washing, regardless of fabric type. Mercerized cotton threads, on the other hand, were more prone to seam puckering after washing. It was also found that increasing needle size from 70 to 90 resulted in a decrease in seam strength. As stitch density increased, seam strength and seam pucker increased in the same way. However, the study showed no effect of needle size on seam pucker.
Individualized Recommendation Method of Multimedia Network Teaching Resources Based on Classification Algorithm in a Smart University
Authors: Zheng Fangxia
Published: August 2022

Current recommendation methods of multimedia network teaching resources cannot classify the resources with high precision, which leads to large deviation of recommendation results and low recall. Therefore, a personalized recommendation method of multimedia network teaching resources based on classification algorithm is proposed. Adaptive sliding window mutual information method is used to process historical and incremental data of teaching resources and extract the characteristics of multimedia network teaching resources. Two-step clustering algorithm combined with business identifier code criteria are used to complete resource classification. Based on structured query language (SQL) multimedia network teaching resources data recommendation database, document query and processing, combined with SQL structure, a personalized recommendation of multimedia network teaching resources is completed. The experimental results show that the recall of the classification results is higher than 99.58 %, and the highest F1 value is 97.28 %. The precision of personalized recommendation of multimedia network teaching resources is always higher than 90 %, and the recall rate is also higher.
TMS Does Not Increase BOLD Activity at the Site of Stimulation: A Review of All Concurrent TMS-fMRI Studies
Authors: Rafiei Farshad , Rahnev Dobromir
Published: August 2022

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely used for understanding brain function in neurologically intact subjects and for the treatment of various disorders. However, the precise neurophysiological effects of TMS at the site of stimulation remain poorly understood. The local effects of TMS can be studied using concurrent TMS-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a technique where TMS is delivered during fMRI scanning. However, although concurrent TMS-fMRI was developed over 20 years ago and dozens of studies have used this technique, there is still no consensus on whether TMS increases blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) activity at the site of stimulation. To address this question, here we review all previous concurrent TMS-fMRI studies that reported analyses of BOLD activity at the target location. We find evidence that TMS increases local BOLD activity when stimulating the primary motor (M1) and visual (V1) cortices but that these effects are likely driven by the downstream consequences of TMS (finger twitches and phosphenes). However, TMS does not appear to increase BOLD activity at the site of stimulation for areas outside of the M1 and V1 when conducted at rest. We examine the possible reasons for such lack of BOLD signal increase based on recent work in nonhuman animals. We argue that the current evidence points to TMS inducing periods of increased and decreased neuronal firing that mostly cancel each other out and therefore lead to no change in the overall BOLD signal.
USE OF THREE DIMENSIONAL PRINTING IN THE PRODUCTION OF TEXTILE PRINT FORMS
Authors: Petrushevski Andri
Published: August 2022

Since the invention of woven fabric, various types of artistic printing on fabric have been used. One of the most ancient and widespread methods is letterpress and gravure printing. Besides printing, it is also widely used in industrial textile production. The creation of industrial printing plates is a very expensive process today. For this reason, for small editions more economical technologies are used, such as silk-screen printing. However, gravure and letterpress methods have several advantages over screen printing. Reducing the cost of production of printing plates of this type will be an undoubted progress. The relief on the surface of the printing plate is a three-dimensional construction. Therefore, it can be formed in the form of a digital three-dimensional model. Modern methods of three-dimensional printing make it possible to form a printed form based on such a digital model, suitable for use in the textile and printing industries. The introduction of this technology will definitely reduce the cost of manufacturing forms for textile printing. The article describes an experiment that confirms this assumption.

Radial glial (RG) cells are the neural stem cells of the developing neocortex. Apical RG (aRG) cells can delaminate to generate basal RG (bRG) cells, a cell type associated with human brain expansion. Here, we report that aRG delamination is regulated by the post‐Golgi secretory pathway. Using in situ subcellular live imaging, we show that post‐Golgi transport of RAB6+ vesicles occurs toward the minus ends of microtubules and depends on dynein. We demonstrate that the apical determinant Crumbs3 (CRB3) is also transported by dynein. Double knockout of RAB6A/A' and RAB6B impairs apical localization of CRB3 and induces a retraction of aRG cell apical process, leading to delamination and ectopic division. These defects are phenocopied by knockout of the dynein activator LIS1. Overall, our results identify a RAB6‐dynein‐LIS1 complex for Golgi to apical surface transport in aRG cells, and highlights the role of this pathway in the maintenance of neuroepithelial integrity.
Long-duration energy storage in a decarbonized future: Policy gaps, needs, and opportunities
Authors: McNamara J. William , DeAngelis Valerio , Byrne Raymond H. , Benson Andrew , Chalamala Babu R. , Masiello Ralph
Published: August 2022

The future U.S. electric grid is being transformed with deep decarbonization of generation (i.e., removing or reducing reliance on fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable and clean energy resources), which in practice is not achievable without a dramatic increase in the reliance on long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies. Regulators at both the state and federal level are well advised to take steps to address current policy gaps, build frameworks that will enable a greater role for LDES to contribute to grid reliability and be fairly compensated for its grid services..

Decarbonization by definition is dependent on an increasing reliance on variable renewable energy, primarily wind and solar resources, that needs to be stored for longer durations to maintain electric grid reliability and provide operational flexibility to grid operators. However, despite the growing realization of the need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, a persistent gap of policy levers at the federal and state level creates a vacuum in terms of defining how and where LDES technologies can be utilized to support the electric grid, along with an inadequate regulatory framework wherein these resources will need to be valued and compensated for the services they can provide. This paper—which is primarily intended for US decision makers, but should be of value for all energy professionals and the general public—addresses policy gaps, needs, and opportunities for LDES that require urgent attention from US-based policymakers at the federal and state level. This paper also provides background information on how the US E&U industry is structured and regulated, along with perspectives on LDES technologies and applications, all of which have direct relevance to the paper’s primary focus on the need for LDES policymaking.

Discussion

Despite a generally accepted future need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies that is directly tied to the rapid of renewable resources on the U.S. electric grid, there is a lack of policymaking, market designs, and compensation mechanisms for LDES technologies. Decarbonization (i.e., the goal of removing or reducing reliance on fossil fuels) cannot be achieved at the aggressive levels envisioned without utilizing LDES. Policymakers must take steps now to build frameworks that recognize the unique ways in which LDES will increasingly contribute to grid reliability and resilience, and receive appropriate compensation for the services it provides.

Energy is an important input for economies. In this context, many countries have conducted studies to examine how energy affects their economies. In addition, the relationship between energy and economic growth is an important indicator in guiding economic policies. In this study, the effect of Energy Production from Fossil Sources (EPFS) and Energy Production from Hydroelectric Sources (EPHS) on Economic Growth (GDP) for Iraq was analyzed with the ARDL Cointegration test. The data of Iraq used in the study were taken from the official web address of the World Bank and covers the years between 1971-2018. A significant and positive relationship has been found between the energy resources discussed in the study and economic growth. In addition, according to the Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis, a causality relationship from the use of fossil energy resources to economic growth was found. Likewise, a causality relationship has been found from the use of hydroelectric energy resources to economic growth.
Rarity of Joint Probability Between Interest and Inflation Rates in the 1998 Economic Crisis in Indonesia and Their Comparison Over Three Time Periods

After more than twenty years, there has been no economic crisis as severe as 1998 based on inflation and interest rates. It is interesting to compare the conditions before and after the 1998 crisis and the economic conditions in the last decade in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between inflation and interest rates using a copula-based joint distribution. The joint return period of the 1998 economic crisis is estimated from this joint distribution. The results showed that the Gumbel copula is the most suitable bivariate copula to construct a joint distribution between inflation and interest rates in 1990-2019, with an upper tail dependency of 0.6224. Moreover, the joint return period between inflation and interest rates more severe than 1998 is 389 years with a 95% confidence interval of [47, ∞] years. This result is uncertain because many factors affect inflation and interest rates. The inflation rate decreased after the 1998 crisis. Meanwhile, in the last decade, the inflation and interest rates were much lower than in the two previous periods.
Anasir-Anasir Kisah Perjalanan dalam Helen dan Sukanta: Travel Writing Carl Thompson
Authors: Hidayah Ahmad Taqiyuddin , Abdullah Asep Abbas , Atikurrahman Moh
Published: August 2022

Tulisan ini menempatkan Helen dan Sukanta sebagai teks bergenre perjalanan. Sepintas lalu narasi novel Pidi Baiq ini seperti memusat pada kisah sejoli dari senjakala kolonialisme Hindia Belanda. Helen, seorang perempuan keturunan Belanda yang lahir dan tumbuh di sebuah kawasan perkebunan di pedalaman Ciwidey, Bogor jatuh hati pada Sukanta. Kisah asmara mereka kandas lantaran perbedaan rasial. Tragedi itu sendiri diceritakan oleh protagonis kepada narator utama novel yang kebetulan tengah melawat ke Belanda. Oleh sebab itu, kisah Helen tersebut sangat bergantung pada bagaimana sikap dan posisi narator novel untuk merespon dan merepresentasikan kenangan protagonis. Dalam penelitian ini novel Baiq dikaji sebagai representasi sastra perjalanan. Sebuah catatan yang bersumber pada aktivitas perjalanan bagi Carl Thompson mengemukakan beberapa pokok penting, yakni informasi atau keadaan riil belahan dunia lain (reporting the world), sikap pribadi seorang (revealing the self), dan respon terhadap orang asing (respresenting the other) yang notabene berbeda budaya. Secara umum penggambaran novel menempatkan narator sebagai pelancong merupakan diri (self) yang secara aktif bersikap sehingga menentukan jalan cerita dalam Helen dan Sukanta.
C-Face: Using Compare Face on Face Hallucination for Low-Resolution Face Recognition
Authors: Han Feng , Wang Xudong , Shen Furao , Zhao Jian
Published: August 2022

Face hallucination is a task of generating high-resolution (HR) face images from low-resolution (LR) inputs, which is a subfield of the general image super-resolution. However, most of the previous methods only consider the visual effect, ignoring how to maintain the identity of the face. In this work, we propose a novel face hallucination model, called C-Face network, which can generate HR images with high visual quality while preserving the identity information. A face recognition network is used to extract the identity features in the training process. In order to make the reconstructed face images keep the identity information to a great extent, a novel metric, i.e., C-Face loss, is proposed. We also propose a new training algorithm to deal with the convergence problem. Moreover, since our work mainly focuses on the recognition accuracy of the output, we integrate face recognition into the face hallucination process which ensures that the model can be used in real scenarios. Extensive experiments on two large scale face datasets demonstrate that our C-Face network has the best performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
