Cognitive Bias Modification Training to Improve Implicit Vitality in Patients With Breast Cancer: App Design Using a Cocreation Approach
Authors: Wolbers Roos , Bode Christina , Siemerink Ester , Siesling Sabine , Pieterse Marcel
Published: November 2020

Background

More than 50% of all patients with breast cancer experience fatigue symptoms during and after their treatment course. Recent evidence has shown that fatigue is partly driven by cognitive biases such as the self-as-fatigued identity bias, which may be corrected with computer-based cognitive bias modification (CBM) techniques.

Objective

The aim of this study was to design a CBM-training app by adopting a cocreation approach.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 health care professionals, 3 patients with breast cancer, and 2 patient advocates. The aim of the interviews was to collect input for the design of the CBM training, taking the values and preferences of the stakeholders into account, and to determine the timing and implementation of the training in the treatment course.

Results

Overall, the interviews showed that the concept of CBM was accepted among all stakeholders. Important requirements were revealed such as the training needs to be simple and undemanding, yet engaging and persuasive. Based on the results, an eHealth app IVY (Implicit VitalitY) was created. The findings from the interviews suggested that IVY should be offered early in the breast cancer treatment course and should be carefully aligned with clinical treatment.

Conclusions

The findings of this study show that using CBM as a preventive approach to target cancer-related fatigue is an innovative technique, and this approach was embraced by breast cancer stakeholders. Our study suggests that CBM training has several benefits such as being easy to use and potentially increasing perceived self-control in patients.
Use of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)-Based Deep Learning Method for Extracting Evidences in Chinese Radiology Reports: Development of a Computer-Aided Liver Cancer Diagnosis Framework
Authors: Liu Honglei , Zhang Zhiqiang , Xu Yan , Wang Ni , Huang Yanqun , Yang Zhenghan , Jiang Rui , Chen Hui
Published: November 2020

Background

Liver cancer is a substantial disease burden in China. As one of the primary diagnostic tools for detecting liver cancer, dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography provides detailed evidences for diagnosis that are recorded in free-text radiology reports.

Objective

The aim of our study was to apply a deep learning model and rule-based natural language processing (NLP) method to identify evidences for liver cancer diagnosis automatically.

Methods

We proposed a pretrained, fine-tuned BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)-based BiLSTM-CRF (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory-Conditional Random Field) model to recognize the phrases of APHE (hyperintense enhancement in the arterial phase) and PDPH (hypointense in the portal and delayed phases). To identify more essential diagnostic evidences, we used the traditional rule-based NLP methods for the extraction of radiological features. APHE, PDPH, and other extracted radiological features were used to design a computer-aided liver cancer diagnosis framework by random forest.

Results

The BERT-BiLSTM-CRF predicted the phrases of APHE and PDPH with an F1 score of 98.40% and 90.67%, respectively. The prediction model using combined features had a higher performance (F1 score, 88.55%) than those using APHE and PDPH (84.88%) or other extracted radiological features (83.52%). APHE and PDPH were the top 2 essential features for liver cancer diagnosis.

Conclusions

This work was a comprehensive NLP study, wherein we identified evidences for the diagnosis of liver cancer from Chinese radiology reports, considering both clinical knowledge and radiology findings. The BERT-based deep learning method for the extraction of diagnostic evidence achieved state-of-the-art performance. The high performance proves the feasibility of the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model in information extraction from Chinese radiology reports. The findings of our study suggest that the deep learning–based method for automatically identifying evidences for diagnosis can be extended to other types of Chinese clinical texts.
The Role of Health Technologies in Multicomponent Primary Care Interventions: Systematic Review
Authors: Jimenez Geronimo , Matchar David , Koh Choon Huat Gerald , van der Kleij Rianne , Chavannes Niels H , Car Josip
Published: November 2020

Background

Several countries around the world have implemented multicomponent interventions to enhance primary care, as a way of strengthening their health systems to cope with an aging chronically ill population and rising costs. Some of these efforts have included technology-based enhancements as one of the features to support the overall intervention, but their details and impacts have not been explored.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the role of digital/health technologies within wider multifeature interventions that are aimed at enhancing primary care, and to describe their aims and stakeholders, types of technologies used, and potential impacts.

Methods

A systematic review was performed following Cochrane guidelines. An electronic search, conducted on May 30, 2019, was supplemented with manual and grey literature searches in December 2019, to identify multicomponent interventions that included at least one technology-based enhancement. After title/abstract and full text screening, selected articles were assessed for quality based on their study design. A descriptive narrative synthesis was used for analysis and presentation of the results.

Results

Of 37 articles, 14 (38%) described the inclusion of a technology-based innovation as part of their multicomponent interventions to enhance primary care. The most commonly identified technologies were the use of electronic health records, data monitoring technologies, and online portals with messaging platforms. The most common aim of these technologies was to improve continuity of care and comprehensiveness, which resulted in increased patient satisfaction, increased primary care visits compared to specialist visits, and the provision of more health prevention education and improved prescribing practices. Technologies seem also to increase costs and utilization for some parameters, such as increased consultation costs and increased number of drugs prescribed.

Conclusions

Technologies and digital health have not played a major role within comprehensive innovation efforts aimed at enhancing primary care, reflecting that these technologies have not yet reached maturity or wider acceptance as a means for improving primary care. Stronger policy and financial support, and advocacy of key stakeholders are needed to encourage the introduction of efficient technological innovations, which are backed by evidence-based research, so that digital technologies can fulfill the promise of supporting strong sustainable primary care.

Authors: Pinto Manuel , Torres Ricardo , Campillay-Llanos William , Guevara-Morales Felipe
Published: November 2020

On the set of positive real numbers, multiplication, represented by ⊕, is considered as an operation associated with the notion of sum, and the operation a ⨀ b = aln(b) represents the meaning of the traditional multiplication. The triple (R+, ⊕,⨀) forms an ordered and complete field in which derivative and integration operators are defined analogously to the Differential and Integral Calculus. In this article, we present the proportional arithmetic and we construct the theory of ordinary proportional differential equations. A proportional version of Gronwall inequality, Gompertz’s function, the q-Periodic functions, proportional heat, and wave equations as well as a proportional version of Fourier’s series are presented. Furthermore, a non-Newtonian logistic growth model is proposed.

Analysis of 2D and 3D GPR responses in the Federal University of Paraná Forensic Geophysics Controlled Site – a Case Study
Authors: Canata Rafael Espindola , Fonseca Ferreira Francisco José , Rodrigues Borges Welitom , Salvador Fábio Augusto Da Silva
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT. In 2016, the Laboratory for Research in Applied Geophysics (LPGA), at the Federal University of Paraná, in partnership with the Federal Police of the State of Paraná and the University of Brasília built a Forensic Geophysics Controlled Site (FGCS-UFPR) to calibration of the applied geophysical method and strengthen forensic sciences in the State of Paraná. In the FGCS, several objects that simulate forensic, archaeological and paleontological targets were installed at extremely shallow depths. The materials were covered with clayey soil, typical of the region, and in some pits, fine sandy sediments were deposited. This study aims to verify the 2D and 3D responses of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) method applied to targets installed in the FGCS, in a post-precipitation period. In the acquisition of GPR data, a 700 MHz shielded antenna was used, with parallel 2D profiles and spaced 0.1 meters. The results indicated that the high clay content present in the soil, below 0.5 meters deep, caused a high attenuation of the electromagnetic signal and defined patterns of reflectors associated with the targets, excavations and the investigated environment. Thus, only targets with high electrical impedance were visualized in 2D and 3D GPR images.Keywords: ground penetrating radar, clay soil, targets, forensic sciences, archaeogeophysics. Análise dos resultados 2D e 3D de GPR no Sitio Controlado de Geofísica Forense da UFPRRESUMO. Em 2016, o Laboratório de Pesquisas em Geofísica Aplicada (LPGA), da Universidade Federal do Paraná, em parceria com a Polícia Federal do Paraná e a Universidade de Brasília, instalou um Sítio Controlado de Geofísica Forense (SCGF-UFPR) para a calibração do método geofísico aplicado e o fortalecimento das ciências forenses no Estado do Paraná. No SCGF foram instalados, em profundidades extremamente rasas, diversos objetos que simulam alvos forenses, arqueológicos e paleontológicos. Os materiais foram recobertos com solos argilosos, típicos da região, e em algumas cavas foram depositados sedimentos arenosos finos. Este estudo objetiva a verificação das respostas 2D e 3D do método radar de penetração no solo (GPR) aplicada aos alvos instalados no SCG, em um período pós-precipitação pluviométrica. Nas aquisições de dados de GPR foi aplicada a antena blindada de 700 MHz, com perfis 2D paralelos e equiespaçados em 0,1 metro. Os resultados indicaram que o alto teor de argila presente no solo, abaixo de 0,5 metro de profundidade, causou uma elevada atenuação do sinal eletromagnético e definiu-se padrões de refletores associados aos alvos, as escavações e ao meio investigado. Assim, apenas os alvos com alta impedância elétrica foram visualizados nas imagens GPR 2D e 3D.Palavras-chave: ground penetrating radar, solo argiloso, artefatos, ciência forense, arqueogeofísica.

Published: November 2020

Soil and groundwater as the leachate may contaminate surrounding watersheds, thus different pollutants from closed dumps and landfills pose significant risks to human health and ecology. Pollution may lead to soil and water degradation however it might be diminished through sustainable dump site closure projects and processual management. Several decades of clays and clay minerals studies lead to modified clay composites concept that is one of the potential promising solutions for building the landfill covering material and serve as capping biocover layer at the same time. As humic substances are constituents of soil organic matter, pollutants can be sorbed on the surfaces of complex molecules. This kind of humic acid-clay mineral composite materials thus might become as low cost building material component - covering material. Construction of such layer are to be performed as a combination of clay-humic composites and landfill mined fine fraction of waste with small amendment of natural soil. Several hypotheses that are already proven has to be mentioned: a) Clay minerals produce composites with humic substances; 2) Clay-humic complexes reduce through sorption both organic and inorganic pollutants; 3) Low risk of toxic byproducts from landfill mined waste fine fraction can be the problem; 4) Such composites mostly would trap toxic contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals) found in reworked fine fraction of waste. The aim of the work is to provide alternative solution for landfill closure by giving theoretical considerations from multidisciplinary knowledge of environmental engineering, chemistry and waste management.

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

Glycemic regression is common in real-world settings, but the contribution of regression to the mean (RTM) has been little investigated. We aimed to estimate glycemic regression before and after adjusting for RTM in a free-living cohort of adults with newly ascertained diabetes and intermediate hyperglycemia (IH).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) is a cohort study of 15,105 adults screened between 2008 and 2010 with standardized oral glucose tolerance test and HbA1c, repeated after 3.84 ± 0.42 years. After excluding those receiving medical treatment for diabetes, we calculated partial or complete regression before and after adjusting baseline values for RTM.

RESULTS

Regarding newly ascertained diabetes, partial or complete regression was seen in 49.4% (95% CI 45.2–53.7); after adjustment for RTM, in 20.2% (95% CI 12.1–28.3). Regarding IH, regression to normal levels was seen in 39.5% (95% CI 37.9–41.3) or in 23.7% (95% CI 22.6–24.3), depending on use of the World Health Organization (WHO) or the American Diabetes Association (ADA) definition, respectively; after adjustment, corresponding frequencies were 26.1% (95% CI 22.4–28.1) and 19.4% (95% CI 18.4–20.5). Adjustment for RTM reduced the number of cases detected at screening: 526 to 94 cases of diabetes, 3,118 to 1,986 cases of WHO-defined IH, and 6,182 to 5,711 cases of ADA-defined IH. Weight loss ≥2.6% was associated with greater regression from diabetes (relative risk 1.52, 95% CI 1.26–1.84) and IH (relative risk 1.30, 95% CI 1.17–1.45).

CONCLUSIONS

In this quasi–real-world setting, regression from diabetes at ∼4 years was common, less so for IH. Regression was frequently explained by RTM but, in part, also related to improved weight loss and homeostasis over the follow-up.

En Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias (1589), Juan de Castellanos deconstruye el mito de El Dorado y realiza una crítica tanto a la avaricia de los españoles como a su falta de criterio para adentrarse en un territorio que no fue previamente estudiado. Las elegías se centran en la propuesta de pacificación ejercida por Don Gonzalo para instaurar la Nueva Granada, decisión que iba a permitir la consolidación de ciudades y reinos. Además, Castellanos cuestiona el  origen del mito por no ser comprobable y por haberse propagado y deformado a lo largo del tiempo.

Authors: Otani Naoki , Morimoto Yuji , Kinoshita Manabu , Ogata Toru , Mori Kentaro , Kobayashi Masato , Maeda Takeshi , Yoshino Atsuo
Published: November 2020

Background:

Phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit (pNF-H) is a constituent protein of the nerve axon, which leaks into the peripheral blood in various central nervous disorders. This study examined the time course of pNF-H value up to 1 month after injury and investigated the correlation with clinical outcome.

Methods:

Serum pNF-H concentration was measured on admission, and at 24 h, 72 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month after injury in 20 patients, 15 males and 5 females aged 35–68 years (mean 52 years), with traumatic brain injury (TBI) transported to our hospital between April 2016 and March 2017. The clinical outcome at discharge was evaluated by Glasgow Outcome Scale.

Results:

The pNF-H value showed no increase in patients without brain parenchymal injury, but pNF-H value increased depending on the severity of brain damage. pNF-H value peaked at 2 weeks after injury. Two patients with peak value exceeding 10,000 unit had very severe injury and died during hospitalization. Peak pNF-H value was 3210 ± 1073 unit in 12 patients with good outcome and 9884 ± 2353 unit in 8 patients with poor outcome (P = 0.0119).

Conclusion:

Serum pNF-H level tended to increase and peak at 2 weeks after injury, and the peak pNF-H value was correlated with clinical outcome after TBI. The temporal profile of blood pNF-H seems to be useful to predict the clinical outcome after TBI.
Enhanced Voltammetric Anion Sensing at Halogen and Hydrogen Bonding Ferrocenyl SAMs
Authors: Hein Robert , Li Xiaoxiong , Beer Paul D. , Davis Jason J
Published: November 2020

Halogen bonding mediated electrochemical anion sensing has very recently been established as a potent platform for the selective and sensitive detection of anions, although the principles that govern binding and subsequent signal transduction remain poorly understood. Herein we address this challenge by providing a comprehensive study of novel redox-active halogen bonding (XB) and hydrogen bonding (HB) ferrocene-isophthalamide-(iodo)triazole receptors in solution and at self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Under diffusive conditions the sensory performance of the XB sensor was significantly superior. In molecular films the XB and HB binding motifs both display a notably enhanced, but similar, response to specific anions. Importantly, the enhanced response of these films is rationalised by a consideration of the (interfacial) dielectric microenvironment. These effects, and the resolved relationship between anion binding and signal transduction, underpin an improved fundamental understanding of anion sensing at redox-active interfaces which will benefit not just the development of more potent, real-life relevant sensors, but also new tools to study host-guest interactions at interfaces.
Determination of Intermediate State Structures in the Opening Pathway of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Using Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Authors: Brotzakis Zacharias Faidon , Lohr Thomas , Vendruscolo Michele
Published: November 2020

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of COVID19, a highly infectious disease that is severely affecting our society and welfare systems. In order to develop therapeutic interventions against this condition, one promising strategy is to target spike, the trimeric transmembrane glycoprotein that the virus uses to recognise and bind its host cells. Here we use a metainference cryo-electron microscopy approach to determine the opening pathway that brings spike from its inactive (closed) conformation to its active (open) one. The knowledge of the structures of the intermediate states of spike along these opening pathways enables us to identify a cryptic pocket that is not exposed in the open and closed states. We then identify compounds that bind the cryptic pocket by screening a library of repurposed drugs. These results underline the opportunities offered by the determination of the structures of the intermediate states populated during the dynamics of proteins to allow the therapeutic targeting of otherwise invisible cryptic binding sites.
Insights into the Lithium Substructure of the Superionic Conductors Li3YCl6 and Li3YBr6
Authors: Schlem Roman , Banik Ananya , Ohni Saneyuki , Suard Emmanuelle , Zeier Wolfgang
Published: November 2020

The recent interest in the halide-based solid electrolytes Li3MX6 (M = Y, Er, In; X = Cl, Br, I) shows these materials to be promising candidates for solid-state battery application, due to high ionic conductivity and large electrochemical stability window. However, almost nothing is known about the underlying lithium sub-structure within those compounds. Here, we investigate the lithium sub-structure of Li3YCl6 and Li3YBr6 using temperature-dependent neutron diffraction. We compare compounds prepared by classic solid-state syntheses with a mechanochemical synthesis to shed light on the influence of the synthetic approach on the reported yttrium disorder and the resulting surrounding lithium sub-structure. This work provides a better understanding of the strong differences in ionic transport depending on the synthesis procedure of Li3MX6.
Brillouin Light Scattering Study of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Pyrrolidinium Based Ionic Liquids
Authors: Das Supti , Radhakrishnan Dhanya , Bhadram Venkata. S. , Narayana Chandrabhas , Bhattacharyya Aninda J.
Published: November 2020

Pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids are known to be good ionic conductors even in solid-state around room temperature, which is attributed to the highly disordered plastic crystalline phase. Moreover, these ionic liquids are characterized by multiple phase transitions which include plastic, structural glass, and glassy crystal phases with varying levels of molecular disorder. Temperature-dependent Brillouin light scattering is used to investigate the phase transitions in a series of alkylmethylpyrrolidinium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imides (P1nTFSI, n=1,2,4). Brillouin spectral features such as the number of acoustic modes, their shape, and linewidth provide the picture of different disordered phases resultant of dynamics at the microscopic scale. The longitudinal and transverse acoustic velocities in different phases are determined from the corresponding acoustic mode frequencies (Brillouin shift). Extremely low acoustic velocities in the solid phase of P11TFSI and P12TFSI are a consequence of a high degree of disorder and plasticity present in the system. Anomalous temperature-dependent behavior of linewidth and asymmetric (Fano) line shape of acoustic modes observed in certain phases of P1nTFSI could be due to the strong coupling between the Brillouin central peak and the acoustic phonons. The present results establish that the Brillouin light scattering technique can be efficiently used to understand the complex phase behavior, microscopic structure, and dynamics of ionic liquids.

Published: November 2020

We apply systems engineering principals and life cycle analysis (LCA) to municipal waste supply chains to elucidate sustainability incentives. Environmental impacts are quantified using LCA for waste management technologies available in the supply chain, and included as products. The supply chain is modeled as a coordinated market and resolved using mathematical optimization techniques. Incorporating impacts as products allows us to analyze the influence of tax policy on optimal waste management strategies.

SEMANTIC EFFECTS OF VERB TENSE IN PARENTHETICAL CONSTRUCTIONS WITH MENTAL VERBS
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Kustova G. I.
Published: November 2020

Parenthetical constructions with verbs of opinion (as I think) are considered as the result of the reduction of the main clause: Ja dumaju, chto priglashenie prislal professor Wiler → Priglashenie, kak ja dumaju, prislal professor Wiler. The meaning of the mental verb tense affects the interpretation of the sentence. In the present tense, construction as I think introduces an assumption with a neutral status: Eto proizojdet, kak ja dumaju, v samom blizhajshem budushchem [Ju. Semenov]—‘no one knows, P or non-P’. In the past tense, construction as I thought introduces a wrong assumption: Djadja, kotoryj, kak ja dumal, davno zabyl o podarennykh chasakh, vosprinjal etu novost’ boleznenno.

Published: November 2020

Resource selection studies are commonly used to assess the landscape features that animals select or avoid in their environment. Selection for certain landscape features and landcover types may vary by sex and reproductive status of an individual, and habitat selection studies should incorporate these factors. Cougars Puma concolor are a wide‐ranging species that live in a diversity of habitats with varying levels of human disturbance. Geographic positioning satellite telemetry collars were deployed on 55 males, single females and females with kittens. We used a two‐stage resource selection function to assess the seasonal habitat characteristics used by adult cougars in west‐central, Alberta, Canada, near the northern extent of the species range, from 2016 to 2018. A latent selection difference function was used to compare differences in habitat selction between groups. All groups selected for similar habitat types including edge habitat, close proximity to water, sloped terrain, forested habitat and avoided roads. During the summer, close proximity to water and wetland land cover were among the most selected features for all groups. Forest and edge habitats also were important for single females and males. During the winter, forested habitat was one of the most important covariates for all groups along with close proximity to water, edge habitat and slope for single females and males. Selection for slope and avoidance of open agricultural land were among the most important for females with kittens. Our results provide insights into those landscape variables that are important for cougars at the northern extent of their geographical range.
Pengaruh Pemberdayaan Wanita terhadap Pemilihan Penolong Persalinan pada Tenaga Kesehatan Terampil
Authors: Wulandari Mirta Dwi , Zoraya Elfrida
Published: November 2020

Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) di Indonesia tahun 2015 diperkirakan sebesar 305 kematian per 100,000 kelahiran hidup. Upaya besar perlu dilakukan untuk mencapai target SDGs pada tahun 2030, yaitu 70 kematian maternal. Peningkatan otonomi dan pemberdayaan wanita diharapkan mampu meningkatkan peran wanita dalam keputusan terkait dengan kese-hatannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan pengaruh pember-dayaan wanita terhadap pemilihan penolong persalinan pada tenaga kesehatan terampil, dengan menggunakan data SDKI 2017. Jumlah sampel penelitian ini adalah 14.835 wanita yang berumur 15-49 tahun dengan minimal satu anak lahir hidup, berstatus kawin atau hidup bersama dengan pasangan. Indikator pemberdayaan wanita yang digunakan adalah pendidikan, partisipasi pengambilan keputusan, negosiasi berhubungan seksual dan perilaku terhadap pemukulan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan analisis regresi logistik biner. Seluruh indikator pemberdayaan perem-puan, kecuali partisipasi pengambilan keputusan, berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap penggunaan tenaga kesehatan terampil, setelah di-kontrol dengan karakteristik sosiodemografis. Hasil penelitian ini menun-jukkan bahwa meningkatnya penggunaan tenaga kesehatan terampil saat persalinan dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan pemberdayaan perem-puan, antara lain melalui pendidikan dan penundaan usia kawin. Kebijakan yang tepat sasaran dapat dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang meningkatkan penggunaan tenaga kesehatan terampil.

This study aims to analyze the mathematics problem-solving process of high school students based on multiple intelligences. In research, multiple intelligence is divided into dominant linguistic intelligence, interpersonal and kinesthetic intelligence, dominant musical intelligence, logical-mathematical and naturalistic, existential, intrapersonal, and visual dominant intelligence. The type of research used in this research is descriptive exploratory, and the approach used is qualitative and quantitative approaches. Determination of research subjects was carried out using purposive sampling based on multiple intelligences, to obtain 3 high school students of class X as research subjects. The research instrument used was a multiple intelligence test and two problem-solving tests adopted from the American High School Math Exam (AHSME) Problems and the Provincial High School Mathematics National Science Olympiad questions. The data obtained were analyzed, utilizing data reduction. The research results show that students with multiple different intelligence bits have different ways of solving them, but there are also similarities in solving problems.

Authors: BAZİGHİFAN O. , SANTRA Shyam Sundar
Published: November 2020

In this work, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of second-order half-linear delay differential equation of the form $ \bigl(r(y^{\prime})^\gamma\bigr)^{\prime}(t)+ q(t)y^\alpha(\tau(t))=0\,.$ We study this equation under the assumption $\int^{\infty}\big(r(\eta)\big)^{-1/\gamma} d\eta=\infty$ and consider two cases when $\gamma > \alpha$ and $\gamma < \alpha$. We provide examples, illustrating the results and state an open problem.
