Photosynthesis is a vital process for the planet. Its estimation involves the measurement of different variables and its processing through a mathematical model. This article presents a black-box mathematical model to estimate the net photosynthesis and its digital implementation. The model uses variables such as: leaf temperature, relative leaf humidity, and incident radiation. The model was elaborated with obtained data from Capsicum annuum L. plants and calibrated using genetic algorithms. The model was validated with Capsicum annuum L. and Capsicum chinense Jacq. plants, achieving average errors of 3% in Capsicum annuum L. and 18.4% in Capsicum chinense Jacq. The error in Capsicum chinense Jacq. was due to the different experimental conditions. According to evaluation, all correlation coefficients (Rho) are greater than 0.98, resulting from the comparison with the LI-COR Li-6800 equipment. The digital implementation consists of an FPGA for data acquisition and processing, as well as a Raspberry Pi for IoT and in situ interfaces; thus, generating a useful net photosynthesis device with non-invasive sensors. This proposal presents an innovative, portable, and low-scale way to estimate the photosynthetic process in vivo, in situ, and in vitro, using non-invasive techniques.

Published: July 2022

An intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) can intelligently configure wavefronts such as amplitude, frequency, phase, and even polarization through passive reflections and without requiring any radio frequency (RF) chains. It is predicted to be a revolutionizing technology with the capability to alter wireless communication to enhance both spectrum and energy efficiencies with low expenditure and low energy consumption. Similarly, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication has attained a significant interest by research fraternity due to high mobility, flexible deployment, and easy integration with other technologies. However, UAV communication can face obstructions and eavesdropping in real-time scenarios. Recently, it is envisaged that IRS and UAV can combine together to achieve unparalleled opportunities in difficult environments. Both technologies can achieve enhanced performance by proactively altering the wireless propagation through maneuver control and smart signal reflections in three-dimensional space. This study briefly discusses IRS-assisted UAV communications. We survey the existing literature on this emerging research topic for both ground and airborne scenarios. We highlight several emerging technologies and application scenarios for future wireless networks. This study goes one step further to elaborate research opportunities to design and optimize wireless systems with low energy footprint and at low cost. Finally, we shed some light on open challenges and future research directions for IRS-assisted UAV communication.

To quantitatively assess pathological gait, we developed a novel smartphone application for full-body human motion tracking in real time from markerless video-based images using a smartphone monocular camera and deep learning. As training data for deep learning, the original three-dimensional (3D) dataset comprising more than 1 million captured images from the 3D motion of 90 humanoid characters and the two-dimensional dataset of COCO 2017 were prepared. The 3D heatmap offset data consisting of 28 × 28 × 28 blocks with three red–green–blue colors at the 24 key points of the entire body motion were learned using the convolutional neural network, modified ResNet34. At each key point, the hottest spot deviating from the center of the cell was learned using the tanh function. Our new iOS application could detect the relative tri-axial coordinates of the 24 whole-body key points centered on the navel in real time without any markers for motion capture. By using the relative coordinates, the 3D angles of the neck, lumbar, bilateral hip, knee, and ankle joints were estimated. Any human motion could be quantitatively and easily assessed using a new smartphone application named Three-Dimensional Pose Tracker for Gait Test (TDPT-GT) without any body markers or multipoint cameras.
Color Occlusion Face Recognition Method Based on Quaternion Non-Convex Sparse Constraint Mechanism
Authors: Wen Chenglin , Qiu Yiting
Published: July 2022

As the acquisition and application of color images become more and more extensive, color face recognition technology has also been vigorously developed, especially the recognition methods based on convolutional neural network, which have excellent performance. However, with the increasing depth and complexity of network models, the number of calculated parameters also increases, which means the training of most high-performance models depends on large-scale samples and expensive equipment. Therefore, the key to the current research is to realize a lightweight model while ensuring the recognition accuracy. At present, PCANet, a typical lightweight framework for deep learning, has achieved good results in most of the image recognition tasks, but its recognition accuracy for color face images, especially under occlusion, still needs to be improved. Therefore, a color occlusion face recognition method based on quaternion non-convex sparse constraint mechanism is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a quaternion non-convex sparse principal component analysis network model was constructed based on Lp regularization of strong sparsity. Secondly, the fixed point iteration method and coordinate descent method were established to solve the non-convex optimization problem. Finally, the occlusion recognition performance of the proposed method was verified on Georgia Tech, Color FERET, AR, and LFW-A Color face datasets.
Advanced Microsamples: Current Applications and Considerations for Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolic Phenotyping Pipelines
Authors: Roberts Jayden , Whiley Luke , Gray Nicola , Gay Melvin , Lawler Nathan
Published: July 2022

Microsamples are collections usually less than 50 µL, although all devices that we have captured as part of this review do not fit within this definition (as some can perform collections of up to 600 µL); however, they are considered microsamples that can be self-administered. These microsamples have been introduced in pre-clinical, clinical, and research settings to overcome obstacles in sampling via traditional venepuncture. However, venepuncture remains the sampling gold standard for the metabolic phenotyping of blood. This presents several challenges in metabolic phenotyping workflows: accessibility for individuals in rural and remote areas (due to the need for trained personnel), the unamenable nature to frequent sampling protocols in longitudinal research (for its invasive nature), and sample collection difficulty in the young and elderly. Furthermore, venous sample stability may be compromised when the temperate conditions necessary for cold-chain transport are beyond control. Alternatively, research utilising microsamples extends phenotyping possibilities to inborn errors of metabolism, therapeutic drug monitoring, nutrition, as well as sport and anti-doping. Although the application of microsamples in metabolic phenotyping exists, it is still in its infancy, with whole blood being overwhelmingly the primary biofluid collected through the collection method of dried blood spots. Research into the metabolic phenotyping of microsamples is limited; however, with advances in commercially available microsampling devices, common barriers such as volumetric inaccuracies and the ‘haematocrit effect’ in dried blood spot microsampling can be overcome. In this review, we provide an overview of the common uses and workflows for microsampling in metabolic phenotyping research. We discuss the advancements in technologies, highlighting key considerations and remaining knowledge gaps for the employment of microsamples in metabolic phenotyping research. This review supports the translation of research from the ‘bench to the community’.

Published: July 2022

Monkeypox (MPX) has been regarded as a neglected tropic disease of Western and Central Africa since the early 70s. However, during May 2022, an unprecedent outbreak of MPX has involved most of European Countries, as well as North and South America. While the actual extent of this outbreak is being assessed by health authorities, we performed a pilot study on specific knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in a sample of Italian medical professionals (24–30 May 2022; 10,293 potential recipients), focusing on Occupational Physicians (OP), Public Health Professionals (PH), and General Practitioners (GP), i.e., medical professionals more likely involved in the early management of incident cases. More specifically, we inquired into their attitude on the use of variola vaccine in order to prevent MPX infection. From a total of 566 questionnaire (response rate of 5.5%), 163 participants were included in the final analyses. Knowledge status was quite unsatisfying, with substantial knowledge gaps on all aspect of MPX. In turn, analysis of risk perception suggested a substantial overlooking of MPX as a pathogen, particularly when compared to SARS-CoV-2, TB, HIV, and HBV. Overall, 58.6% of respondents were somehow favorable to implement variola vaccination in order to prevent MPX, and the main effectors of this attitude were identified in having been previously vaccinated against seasonal influenza (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] 6.443, 95% Confidence Interval [95%CI] 1.798–23.093), and being favorable to receive variola vaccine (aOR 21.416; 95%CI 7.290–62.914). In summary, the significant extent of knowledge gaps and the erratic risk perception, associated collectively stress the importance of appropriate information campaigns among first-line medical professionals.
Mental Health Disorders among Students from Rural Areas Three Months after Returning to School: A Cross-Sectional Study among Polish Students
Authors: Długosz Piotr
Published: July 2022

Background: All over the world, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s and adolescents’ mental health has been observed. The conducted research aims to verify whether returning to school, to education inside the classroom in the company of their peers, improved or undermined the students’ mental health. Methods: The study was carried out on a sample of students inhabiting rural areas in a borderland region. The research sample was collected using purposive sampling and consisted of 552 respondents from the seventh and eighth grades of primary school. An auditorium questionnaire was used to gather the research material. Results: Three months after returning to school, the students were in a poor mental state; 61% of the respondents were satisfied with their lives, while 52% showed symptoms of depression as measured with the WHO-5 index, whereas 85% of the respondents have average and high stress levels as measured with the PSSC scale. Higher levels of mental disorders were observed among female respondents and in those students living in villages and evaluating their financial status as worse. Conclusions: Returning to school failed to have a positive impact on the students’ mental health. Disorders occurring on a large scale will have a negative influence on the students’ performance and hinder their re-adaptation to the school environment. Educational authorities should immediately provide the students with support and monitor the situation over the coming months.
Low-rank matrix approximations over canonical subspaces
Authors: Dax Achiya
Published: July 2022

In this paper we derive closed form expressions for the nearest rank-\(k\) matrix on canonical subspaces. 

 

We start by studying three kinds of subspaces.  Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be a pair of given matrices. The first subspace contains all the \(m\times n\) matrices \(A\) that satisfy \(AX=O\). The second subspace contains all the \(m \times n\) matrices \(A\) that satisfy \(Y^TA = O\),  while the matrices in the third subspace satisfy both \(AX =O\) and \(Y^TA = 0\).

 

The second part of the paper considers a subspace that contains all the symmetric matrices \(S\) that satisfy \(SX =O\).  In this case, in addition to the nearest rank-\(k\) matrix we also provide the nearest rank-\(k\) positive  approximant on that subspace.

 

A further insight is gained by showing that the related cones of positive semidefinite matrices, and  negative semidefinite matrices, constitute a polar decomposition of this subspace.

The paper ends with two examples of applications.  The first one regards the problem of computing the nearest rank-\(k\) centered matrix, and adds new insight into the PCA of a matrix.

The second application comes from the field of Euclidean distance matrices.  The new results on low-rank positive approximants are used to derive an explicit expression for the nearest source matrix.  This opens a direct way for computing the related positions matrix.

Asymmetrical Transport Distribution Function: Skewness as a Key to Enhance Thermoelectric Performance
Authors: Zheng Jin-Cheng
Published: July 2022

How to achieve high thermoelectric figure of merit is still a scientific challenge. By solving the Boltzmann transport equation, thermoelectric properties can be written as integrals of a single function, the transport distribution function (TDF). In this work, the shape effects of transport distribution function in various typical functional forms on thermoelectric properties of materials are systematically investigated. It is found that the asymmetry of TDF, characterized by skewness, can be used to describe universally the trend of thermoelectric properties. By defining symmetric and asymmetric TDF functions, a novel skewness is then constructed for thermoelectric applications. It is demonstrated, by comparison with ab initio calculations and experiments, that the proposed thermoelectric skewness not only perfectly captures the main feature of conventional skewness but also is able to predict the thermoelectric power accurately. This comparison confirms the unique feature of our proposed thermoelectric skewness, as well as its special role of connection between the statistics of TDF and thermoelectric properties of materials. It is also found that the thermoelectric performance can be enhanced by increasing the asymmetry of TDF. Finally, it is also interesting to find that the thermoelectric transport properties based on typical quantum statistics (Fermi-Dirac distributions) can be well described by typical shape parameter (skewness) for classical statistics.

Published: July 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the epidemiological and aetiological pattern of fungal corneal ulcers treated in Hospital Bintulu, Sarawak.Study design: Cross-sectional study.Methods: This study is based on the data collected from clinical records of patients with culture-positive fungal corneal ulcer who presented to Hospital Bintulu from 2016 to 2020. Data was analysed using descriptive statistical methods.Results: A total of 13 patients had fungal corneal ulcer. Males (84.6%) were more commonly affected compared to females (15.4%). The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 67 years. The commonest age group involved was 21–40 years, constituting more than half of the patients (53.8%). The mean age of the patients was 38 years old. Fusarium sp. was isolated in eight of them (61.5%), all of which had a history of palm oil dust insertion into the eye prior to presentation. Other fungal pathogens found include Phellinus noxius sp. in two cases (15.4%) as well as Ascomyces sp., Nectriaceae sp., and Colletotrichum trunchatum sp. in one case each (7.6%). Hypopyon was seen in eight cases (61.5%), where six cases were caused by Fusarium sp. while Ascomyces sp. and Nectriaceae sp. contributed one case each. Mixed fungal and bacterial infection was seen in two cases (15.4%).Conclusion: This study showed that Fusarium sp. is the commonest pathogen causing fungal corneal ulcer and affects predominantly young male plantation workers. The establishment of a proper framework to educate as well as strict enforcement of occupational safety may reduce the incidence of this disease in the population.
A Further Clarification of Ludwig von Mises as a Currency School Free Banker
Authors: Wang Kesong
Published: July 2022

This article refutes the view that Ludwig von Mises proposed freedom in banking as the most suitable means to render the issue of additional fiduciary media completely impossible and shows why Mises’s proposal should not be credited as such. Following in Joseph T. Salerno’s footsteps, this article interprets Mises’s thoughts in light of the nineteenth-century debate between the currency and banking schools in Britain. It finds that Mises’s free banking theory incorporates theoretical insights from both sides and as such represents an incomplete resolution to the old debate and presages the ultimate split in modern literature on free banking. This article also addresses the law of reflux of the banking school within Mises’s free banking theory. After a critical exposition on the law of reflux, it is revealed that the actual and common employment of standard sound money in exchange and cash holding is fundamental in order for the law to serve as a strong restriction on the supply of fiduciary media in a fractional reserve free banking industry.

Authors: Páramo Daniel , Díaz-Hernández Fátima , Arenas Fernando
Published: July 2022

El suicidio es un fenómeno multidimensional y es la segunda causa de muerte para los jóvenes. El objetivo fue identificar el riesgo suicida, determinantes y estrategias de prevención en escuelas secundarias a partir de la percepción del personal de estas. Para conseguirlo se siguió una metodología mixta a partir de un cuestionario con preguntas en escala Likert y abiertas analizadas mediante codificación axial y desde la teoría del consenso cultural. Se encuestó a personal de salud de 159 escuelas de la ciudad de León, Guanajuato, México. Se destaca que en escuelas públicas se percibe mayor riesgo suicida, más relacionado con la violencia familiar, y en las privadas se le asocia al consumo de drogas. El principal recurso para atender el riesgo es el personal de salud o docente. Las propuestas fueron de tipo focalizadas o indicadas con apoyo de instituciones externas. Hubo poco consenso en las propuestas, lo cual representa una riqueza. Conocer la visión de los responsables de la salud de los estudiantes puede generar nuevas ideas para prevenir el suicidio en estudiantes.
Modelo epistémico-metodológico para interpretar textos filosóficos desde la perspectiva de Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Velásquez Luis , Perdomo Evelin , León Zoraima , Barroeta Virginia
Published: July 2022

In the following article, he proposes an epistemic-methodological model for the interpretation of philosophical texts, based on the textual philosophy of Paul Ricoer. The study used documentary research that aims to develop a conceptual theoretical framework to form a body of ideas about the object of study and discover answers to certain questions through the application of documentary procedures. The model consists of two axes: an epistemic one where resides all the philosophical rationality on the basis of the hermeneutics worked by Ricoeur. A second axis: methodological, from where Ricoeur's experience is summarized and synthesized in relation to the procedure applied in the interpretation of texts. Regarding the procedure, the proposal is based on textual hermeneutics and inspired by mimesis, that is, the application of mimetic states: pre-comprehension or prefiguration, compression or configuration, and re-comprehension or refiguration.

New norms and social institutions have emerged in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic and in many ways have replaced the previously considered good order. The foreign phrase which is currently a term has been agreed upon by all parties as an invitation and a word of hope - new normal. Through literature study, this article reviews the fact that there have been institutional changes in various aspects of life because of the pandemic faced by the community for more than a year. By conducting a study of the results of research and internal monitoring of the Covid-19 Task Force and supported by secondary data, this article discusses three levels of social interaction structure that are interconnected and influence each other. At first the pandemic brought shocks that caused negative effects on almost all aspects of life, but in the course of time the difficult conditions gave various optimism to rearrange existing institutions to be more relevant to the contemporary context full of change. Doubts, incoherence, and weak aspects of government institutions are the cause of the continued spread of the pandemic. The legitimacy of the policy is the key to stopping the pandemic as well as institutional restructuring.
