Published: October 2020

AbstractThe frontal pole cortex (FPC) plays key roles in various higher-order functions and is highly developed in non-human primates. An essential missing piece of information is the detailed anatomical connections for finer parcellation of the macaque FPC than provided by the previous tracer results. This is important for understanding the functional architecture of the cerebral cortex. Here, combining cross-validation and principal component analysis, we formed a tractography-based parcellation scheme that applied a machine learning algorithm to divide the macaque FPC (2 males and 6 females) into eight subareas using high-resolution diffusion magnetic resonance imaging with the 9.4T Bruker system, and then revealed their subregional connections. Furthermore, we applied improved hierarchical clustering to the obtained parcels to probe the modular structure of the subregions, and found that the dorsolateral FPC, which contains an extension to the medial FPC, was mainly connected to regions of the default-mode network. The ventral FPC was mainly involved in the social-interaction network and the dorsal FPC in the metacognitive network. These results enhance our understanding of the anatomy and circuitry of the macaque brain, and contribute to FPC-related clinical research.
Aufsuchende Soziale Arbeit in Konflikten um städtische Räume
Authors: Killian Margarete , Rinn Moritz 
Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungVor dem Hintergrund der Beobachtung, dass Soziale Arbeit im Kontext neoliberaler Stadtpolitik als Akteurin in Konflikte eingebunden ist, in denen Aneignungs- und Nutzungsweisen öffentlicher städtischer Räume verhandelt werden, stellen wir in diesem Beitrag Ergebnisse eines explorativen Forschungsprojekts vor, in dem wir untersucht haben, wie Fachkräfte aufsuchender Sozialarbeit von stadtpolitischen Akteur*innen in die Bearbeitung solcher Konflikte eingebunden werden und wie sie sich selbst darin positionieren. Ausgangspunkt war die Annahme, dass Akteur*innen stadtbezogener Sozialer Arbeit in Aneignungskonflikten, in die ihre Adressat*innen involviert sind, über einen kontextspezifischen Handlungsspielraum verfügen, in dem Ziele definiert, Interventionsanlässe gewählt, handlungsleitende Problematisierungen hervorgebracht bzw. angeeignet und entsprechende Handlungsstrategien eingesetzt werden. In der empirischen Analyse konkreter Konfliktereignisse und -konstellationen in drei deutschen Großstädten wird ein Spektrum unterschiedlicher sozialarbeiterischer Vorgehensweisen sichtbar, das von parteilicher Intervention und Konfliktorientierung bis zur Übernahme externer Problematisierungen und der aktiven Beteiligung an einerdislocationproblematisierter Personen reicht. Diese unterschiedlichen Positionierungen müssen allerdings nicht nur hinsichtlich der jeweiligen normativen (Selbst‑)Verpflichtungen (zwischen Parteilichkeit und Allparteilichkeit, Orts- und Klient*innenbezug, Konflikt- und Problemorientierung) analysiert werden, sondern insbesondere in ihren jeweils spezifischen stadträumlichen und stadtpolitischen Konstellationen.
Role of acetylcholine spasm provocation test as a pathophysiological assessment in nonobstructive coronary artery disease

Published: October 2020

AbstractCoronary angiography (CAG) sometimes shows nonobstructive coronary arteries in patients with suspected angina or acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The high prevalence of nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in those patients has recently been reported not only in Japan but also in Western countries, and is clinically attracting attention. Coronary spasm is considered to be one of the leading causes of both suspected stable angina and ACS with nonobstructive coronary arteries. Coronary spasm could also be associated with left ventricular dysfunction leading to heart failure, which could be improved following the administration of calcium channel blockers. Because we rarely capture spontaneous attacks of coronary spasm with electrocardiograms or Holter recordings, an invasive diagnostic modality, acetylcholine (ACh) provocation test, can be useful in detecting coronary spasm during CAG. Furthermore, we can use the ACh-provocation test to identify high-risk patients with coronary spasm complicated with organic coronary stenosis, and then treat with intensive care. Nonobstructive CAD includes not only epicardial coronary spasm but also microvascular spasm or dysfunction that can be associated with recurrent anginal attacks and poor quality of life. ACh-provocation test could also be helpful for the assessment of microvascular spasm or dysfunction. We hope that cardiologists will increasingly perform ACh-provocation test to assess the pathophysiology of nonobstructive CAD.

AbstractThe fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a destructive pest native to America and has recently become an invasive insect pest in China. Because of its rapid spread and great risks in China, understanding of FAW genetic background and pesticide resistance is urgent and essential to develop effective management strategies. Here, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of a male FAW (SFynMstLFR) and compared re-sequencing results of the populations from America, Africa, and China. Strain identification of 163 individuals collected from America, Africa and China showed that both C and R strains were found in the American populations, while only C strain was found in the Chinese and African populations. Moreover, population genomics analysis showed that populations from Africa and China have close relationship with significantly genetic differentiation from American populations. Taken together, FAWs invaded into China were most likely originated from Africa. Comparative genomics analysis displayed that the cytochrome p450 gene family is extremely expanded to 425 members in FAW, of which 283 genes are specific to FAW. Treatments of Chinese populations with twenty-three pesticides showed the variant patterns of transcriptome profiles, and several detoxification genes such as AOX, UGT and GST specially responded to the pesticides. These findings will be useful in developing effective strategies for management of FAW in China and other invaded areas.

Published: October 2020

AbstractIn view of the large scientific and technical interest in the MEMS accelerometer sensor and the limitations of capacitive, resistive piezo, and piezoelectric methods, we focus on the measurement of the seismic mass displacement using a novel design of the all-optical sensor (AOS). The proposed AOS consists of two waveguides and a ring resonator in a two-dimensional rod-based photonic crystal (PhC) microstructure, and a holder which connects the central rod of a nanocavity to a proof mass. The photonic band structure of the AOS is calculated with the plane-wave expansion approach for TE and TM polarization modes, and the light wave propagation inside the sensor is analyzed by solving Maxwell’s equations using the finite-difference time-domain method. The results of our simulations demonstrate that the fundamental PhC has a free spectral range of about 730 nm covering the optical communication wavelength-bands. Simulations also show that the AOS has the resonant peak of 0.8 at 1.644µm, quality factor of 3288, full width at half maximum of 0.5nm, and figure of merit of 0.97. Furthermore, for the maximum 200nm nanocavity displacements in the x- or y-direction, the resonant wavelengths shift to 1.618µm and 1.547µm, respectively. We also calculate all characteristics of the nanocavity displacement in positive and negative directions of the x-axis and y-axis. The small area of 104.35 µm2 and short propagation time of the AOS make it an interesting sensor for various applications, especially in the vehicle navigation systems and aviation safety tools.

Published: October 2020

SommarioLa sindrome di von Hippel-Lindau è una patologia ereditaria multisistemica che predispone allo sviluppo di neoplasie frequentemente di natura endocrina. I tumori neuroendocrini pancreatici, i feocromocitomi e i paragangliomi rappresentano le principali manifestazioni endocrine della sindrome. Tali neoplasie presentano caratteristiche peculiari, che seppur non patognomoniche, possono essere utili nell’orientamento diagnostico. L’endocrinologo rappresenta quindi una figura fondamentale del gruppo multidisclipinare preposto alla gestione di queste patologie.
Superior Pseudocapacitive Storage of a Novel Ni3Si2/NiOOH/Graphene Nanostructure for an All-Solid-State Supercapacitor

AbstractRecent developments in the synthesis of graphene-based structures focus on continuous improvement of porous nanostructures, doping of thin films, and mechanisms for the construction of three-dimensional architectures. Herein, we synthesize creeper-like Ni3Si2/NiOOH/graphene nanostructures via low-pressure all-solid melting-reconstruction chemical vapor deposition. In a carbon-rich atmosphere, high-energy atoms bombard the Ni and Si surface, and reduce the free energy in the thermodynamic equilibrium of solid Ni–Si particles, considerably catalyzing the growth of Ni–Si nanocrystals. By controlling the carbon source content, a Ni3Si2 single crystal with high crystallinity and good homogeneity is stably synthesized. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the nanostructures exhibit an ultrahigh specific capacity of 835.3 C g−1 (1193.28 F g−1) at 1 A g−1; when integrated as an all-solid-state supercapacitor, it provides a remarkable energy density as high as 25.9 Wh kg−1 at 750 W kg−1, which can be attributed to the free-standing Ni3Si2/graphene skeleton providing a large specific area and NiOOH inhibits insulation on the electrode surface in an alkaline solution, thereby accelerating the electron exchange rate. The growth of the high-performance composite nanostructure is simple and controllable, enabling the large-scale production and application of microenergy storage devices.
Multiple perspective centrality measures based on facility location problem under inter-group competitive environment
Authors: Fushimi Takayasu , Okubo Seiya , Saito Kazumi 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this study, we propose novel centrality measures considering multiple perspectives of nodes or node groups based on the facility location problem on a spatial network. The conventional centrality exclusively quantifies the global properties of each node in a network such as closeness and betweenness, and extracts nodes with high scores as important nodes. In the context of facility placement on a network, it is desirable to place facilities at nodes with high accessibility from residents, that is, nodes with a high score in closeness centrality. It is natural to think that such a property of a node changes when the situation changes. For example, in a situation where there are no existing facilities, it is expected that the demand of residents will be satisfied by opening a new facility at the node with the highest accessibility, however, in a situation where there exist some facilities, it is necessary to open a new facility some distance from the existing facilities. Furthermore, it is natural to consider that the concept of closeness differs depending on the relationship with existing facilities, cooperative relationships and competitive relationships. Therefore, we extend a concept of centrality so as to considers the situation where one or more nodes have already been selected belonging to one of some groups. In this study, we propose two measures based on closeness centrality and betweenness centrality as behavior models of people on a spatial network. From our experimental evaluations using actual urban street network data, we confirm that the proposed method, which introduces the viewpoints of each group, shows that there is a difference in the important nodes of each group viewpoint, and that the new store location can be predicted more accurately.
Investigating the Modulatory Role of Chronological and Biological Age on Performance Predictors in Youth Swimmers

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to determine the modulatory roles of biological maturity and age on the predictors of performance in youth swimmers and their stability over a six-month training cycle.

Methods
In total, 28 swimmers (10 pre-pubertal [6 boys], 11.1 ± 1.8 years; 18 pubertal [8 boys], 15.2 ± 2.0 years old) and 26 untrained controls (15 pre-pubertal [10 boys], 9.7 ± 1.5 years; 11 pubertal [6 boys], 14.4 ± 0.5 years old) were recruited. At baseline, 3- and 6-months, participants completed an incremental ramp cycle test, isometric handgrip strength test and countermovement jumps, with speed assessed as a measure of performance in swimmers. Principle component analysis (PCA) identified factors that described youth swimmers’ physical profile, with linear mixed models subsequently used to determine their interaction with age and maturity on performance.

Results
Aerobic fitness and upper body strength were significantly higher in the trained participants, irrespective of maturity status or time-point. Four key factors were identified through PCA (anthropometrics; strength; aerobic capacity; aerobic rate), accounting for 90% of the between parameter variance. Age exerted a widespread influence on swimming performance predictors, influencing all four factors, whilst maturity only influenced the aerobic factors. The key age of divergence was 13 years.

Conclusion
Overall, the present study found no evidence of a maturational threshold in the aerobic or strength-related response to training in youth. The influence of age on performance predictors suggests that utilising a single or select group of parameters to inform selection and/or talent identification throughout the dynamic processes of growth and maturation should be avoided.
Drug Trafficking in the Mainland Southeast Asian Region: The Example of Vietnam’s Shared Borderland with Laos
Authors: Luong Hai Thanh 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn recent years, transit routes in Vietnam for drug trafficking networks in the Southeast Asia region and beyond have expanded considerably. Many international scholars are working on identifying destination and transit routes of drug trafficking entities “to and through” Vietnam. Among these routes, the crossings through the Vietnam–Laos borderland of about 2,340 km are among the most severe concerns. This article analyses supply-and-demand scales of illicit drugs in Vietnam from 2008 to 2017 within the context of illegal drug trafficking in the mainland Southeast Asian region. Some evidence consistent with the “destination and transit route” arguments were found through mapping three main ways across the Vietnam–Laos borderland. The article also calls for enhancing the bilateral cooperation among law enforcement agencies to prevent and combat drug trafficking from the two sides.
Gaslighting and Echoing, or Why Collective Epistemic Resistance is not a “Witch Hunt”
Authors: Pohlhaus Gaile 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis essay reflects on some of the problems with characterizing collective epistemic resistance to oppression as “unthinking” or antithetical to reason by highlighting the epistemic labor involved in contending with and resisting epistemic oppression. To do so, I develop a structural notion of epistemic gaslighting in order to highlight structural features of contexts within which collective epistemic resistance to oppression occurs. I consider two different forms of epistemic echoing as modes of contending with and resisting epistemic oppression that are sometimes mischaracterized as “unthinking” or “group think.” The first sense highlights the epistemic labor entailed in withdrawing from conditions of structural epistemic gaslighting that is sometimes mischaracterized as a pernicious self-sequestering that is antithetical to reason. The second sense highlights the epistemic labor entailed in actively confronting epistemic structures that gaslight what is sometimes mischaracterized as an “irrational group think.” In both cases, I highlight how epistemic acts that may appear unreasonable “within the gaslight” are, on the contrary, engaged in serious and important epistemic labor.
Cooperative Pursuit Control for Multiple Underactuated Underwater Vehicles with Time Delay in Three-Dimensional Space
Authors: Qi Xue , Cai Zhi-Jun 
Published: October 2020

SUMMARYIn this paper, the k-valued logic control network is introduced to study the cooperative pursuit control problem of multiple underactuated underwater vehicles (UUVs) with time delay in three-dimensional space. The semi-tensor product of matrices is used to solve the complex calculation problem of the large dimension matrix. The influence of communication delay on multiple UUVs’ optimization and cooperative pursuit control is expressed in a matrix. Under the leadership of evader UUV, the control algorithm can ensure that all the pursuit UUVs reach the desired position. The stability of the closed loop system is proved.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe validity of the Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) System was evaluated for Dutch. 216 5-min samples (six samples per age per child) were selected from daylong recordings at 5, 10 and 14 months of age of native Dutch-speaking younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (N = 6) and of typically developing children (N = 6). Two native Dutch-speaking coders counted the amount of adult words (AWC), child vocalisations (CVC) and conversational turns (CT). Consequently, correlations between LENA and human estimates were explored. Correlations were high for AWC at all ages (r = .73 to .81). Regarding CVC, estimates were moderately correlated at 5 months (r = .57) but the correlation decreased at 10 (r = .37) and 14 months (r = .14). Correlations for CT were low at all ages (r = .19 to .28). Lastly, correlations were not influenced by the risk status of the children.
The minimum perfect matching in pseudo-dimension 0 < q < 1
Authors: Larsson Joel 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIt is known that for Kn,n equipped with i.i.d. exp (1) edge costs, the minimum total cost of a perfect matching converges to
$\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$
in probability. Similar convergence has been established for all edge cost distributions of pseudo-dimension
$q \geq 1$
. In this paper we extend those results to all real positive q, confirming the Mézard–Parisi conjecture in the last remaining applicable case.

Published: October 2020

AbstractObjective:To investigate the family structure and affluence-related inequality in adolescent eating behaviour.Design:Multivariate binary logistic regression and path analyses were employed to evaluate the impact of family structure and affluence on the consumption of fruits, vegetables, sweets and soft drinks among adolescents.Setting:The cross-national Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in 2013/2014 across forty-one countries.Participants:Adolescents aged 11–15 years old (n192 755).Results:Adolescents from a non-intact family were less likely to eat daily fruits (OR 0·82; 95 % CI 0·80, 0·84), vegetables (OR 0·91; 95 % CI 0·89, 0·93) and sweets (OR 0·96; 95 % CI 0·94, 0·99), but were more likely to consume soft drinks (OR 1·14; 95 % CI 1·11, 1·17), compared with their counterparts from an intact family. Adolescents who had the lowest family affluence scores (FAS) were less likely to eat daily fruits (OR 0·51; 95 % CI 0·49, 0·53), vegetables (OR 0·58; 95 % CI 0·56, 0·60) and sweets (OR 0·94; 95 % CI 0·90, 0·97), but were more likely to consume soft drinks (OR 1·25; 95 % CI 1·20, 1·30), compared with their counterparts who had the highest FAS. Across countries, a wide range of social inequality in daily consumption of foods was observed.Conclusions:Among adolescents in Europe, Canada and Israel, there was a high level of family structure and family affluence inequalities in daily food consumption. Different aspects of family socio-economic circumstances should be considered at the national level designing effective interventions to promote healthy eating among adolescents.

AbstractObjective:To examine the adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the adult general population of Cyprus and assess its relationship with multi-morbidity.Design:A representative sample of the adult population of Cyprus was selected in 2018–2019 using stratified sampling. Demographics, Mediterranean diet, smoking and physical activity, as well as the presence of chronic, clinical and mental conditions, were collected using a validated questionnaire. Diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision.Setting:The five government-controlled municipalities of the Republic of Cyprus.Participants:A total of 1140 Cypriot men and women over 18 years.Results:The average Mediterranean diet score was 15·5 ± 4·0 with males and residents of rural regions being more adherent to the Mediterranean diet compared with females and residents of urban regions (P < 0·05). Being in the higher tertile of adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with lower odds of multi-morbidity compared with the lower tertile, and this result was statistically significant even after adjusting for age, gender, smoking habits and physical activity (OR = 0·68, 95 % CI 0·46, 0·99).Conclusions:The study provides evidence of the adherence to the Mediterranean diet in Cypriot population and its association with multi-morbidity. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with lower risk of multi-morbidity. Future research would attempt to replicate such results that could add solid pieces of evidence towards meeting some criteria of causality and severity tests; hence, prevention programmes and practice guidelines in Cyprus and elsewhere should take into account those beneficial effects.
