Visual guidance for auditory brainstem implantation with modular software design
Authors: Regodic Milovan , Freysinger Wolfgang 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) attempts to restore hearing at patients with bilateral damaged hearing nerve. The optimal placement of the ABI is challenging even with available auditory measures on the brainstem. We present a visual guidance system that aims to assist during intraoperative ABI placement. As a starting point, a surgical probe is navigated and intuitively visualized in the microscope oculars. The system is developed using modular and agile software design techniques. In a usability study, the participants were able to detect invisible targets marked in a phantom image with a millimetric precision. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that this kind of visual guidance is presented. In the future, the system will be expanded with surgical instruments used for the ABI placement.

Published: September 2020

AbstractCounting polynomials are mathematical functions having as coefficients the multiplicity of property partition and as exponent the extent of the corresponding partition. In this work, four counting polynomials are computed: omega, theta, sadhana, and Padmakar–Ivan (PI) polynomials of benzene ring embedded in the P-type surface on 2-D network and n-phenylene. Moreover, the closed formulas of the corresponding indices of these polynomials are also proposed. These results could help to better understand the topology of these important structures.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
After long-term operation, the electrical performance of UHV transmission line insulator string decreases and zero-value insulators are prone to occur. The existence of zero-value insulators leads to the flashover of insulator strings, which causes large-scale power outages in serious cases. In order to improve the power quality and detect the zero-value insulators of transmission lines more timely and efficiently, the influence of zero-value insulators on the electric field distribution of insulator strings is simulated and calculated by finite element method. At the same time, taking the grounding current of insulator string as the cut-in point, the principal component analysis method is used to screen the effective characteristic quantities, and then as the input of artificial neural network, and the fault area of insulator string is determined by the neural network. The simulation results show that the recognition accuracy of artificial neural network based on insulator string grounding current is high, and it has certain engineering application value.

The effect of platelet rich plasma on radiotherapy
Authors: Cihan Yasemin B. , Baykan Halit 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
The basic principle in the clinical use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is to increase the innate repairability of the human body and accelerate recovery after injury. PRP, a source of natural growth factors, emerges as a treatment method to reduce the side effects related to radiotherapy. PRP exerts its radioprotector effect by stimulating angiogenesis, epithelialization, cell differentiation and extracellular matrix formation in aged and poorly regenerated tissues. Additional studies are needed to confirm the promising effect of PRP in beam therapy.
A Deep Ensemble Classifier for Surface Defect Detection in Aircraft Visual Inspection
Authors: Ren Ivan , Zahiri Feraidoon , Sutton Gregory , Kurfess Thomas , Saldana Christopher 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Visual inspection is critical in many maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations and is often the primary defense against premature failure caused by unresolved surface defects. The traditional inspection process is time-consuming and subjective, leading to research into automated systems using computer vision. Several prior methodologies have been developed using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify surface defects; however, these methods often rely on singular models that are sensitive to poor model selection and training errors. Ensembling is a known technique used to minimize the errors of learning algorithms through combining the outputs of multiple models. This paper presents an automated inspection methodology utilizing stacked ensembles of CNNs to classify defects on aircraft surfaces. The proposed framework is evaluated with images obtained from a borescope inspection of aircraft propeller blade bores. It is shown that the ensemble method improves inspection accuracy over conventional single-model deep learning methods. Furthermore, the error reduction provided by the ensemble method reduces false alarms at decision boundaries that minimize missed detections. The proposed method is shown to improve the reliability of automated detection systems, which can avoid catastrophic scenarios on critical systems such as aircraft propellers.

Objective
Copy number variation (CNV) has been associated with idiopathic short stature, small for gestational age and Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). It has not been extensively investigated in growth hormone insensitivity (GHI; short stature, IGF-1 deficiency and normal/high GH) or previously in IGF-1 insensitivity (short stature, high/normal GH and IGF-1).

Design and methods
Array comparative genomic hybridisation was performed with ~60 000 probe oligonucleotide array in GHI (n = 53) and IGF-1 insensitivity (n = 10) subjects. Published literature, mouse models, DECIPHER CNV tracks, growth associated GWAS loci and pathway enrichment analyses were used to identify key biological pathways/novel candidate growth genes within the CNV regions.

Results
Both cohorts were enriched for class 3–5 CNVs (7/53 (13%) GHI and 3/10 (30%) IGF-1 insensitivity patients). Interestingly, 6/10 (60%) CNV subjects had diagnostic/associated clinical features of SRS. 5/10 subjects (50%) had CNVs previously reported in suspected SRS: 1q21 (n = 2), 12q14 (n = 1) deletions and Xp22 (n = 1), Xq26 (n = 1) duplications. A novel 15q11 deletion, previously associated with growth failure but not SRS/GHI was identified. Bioinformatic analysis identified 45 novel candidate growth genes, 15 being associated with growth in GWAS. The WNT canonical pathway was enriched in the GHI cohort and CLOCK was identified as an upstream regulator in the IGF-1 insensitivity cohorts.

Conclusions
Our cohort was enriched for low frequency CNVs. Our study emphasises the importance of CNV testing in GHI and IGF-1 insensitivity patients, particularly GHI subjects with SRS features. Functional experimental evidence is now required to validate the novel candidate growth genes, interactions and biological pathways identified.

OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the survival and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants at 18 to 26 months with early hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF). We also assessed whether African American infants with early HRF had improved outcomes after exposure to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO).METHODS:ELBW infants ≤1000 g and gestational age ≤26 weeks with maximal oxygen ≥60% on either day 1 or day 3 were labeled as “early HRF” and born between 2007 and 2015 in the Neonatal Research Network were included. Using a propensity score regression model, we analyzed outcomes and effects of exposure to iNO overall and separately by race.RESULTS:Among 7639 ELBW infants born ≤26 weeks, 22.7% had early HRF. Early HRF was associated with a mortality of 51.3%. The incidence of moderate-severe NDI among survivors was 41.2% at 18 to 26 months. Mortality among infants treated with iNO was 59.4%. Female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.8–3.3), birth weight ≥720 g (aOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.7–3.1) and complete course of antenatal steroids (aOR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.1–2.2) were associated with intact survival. African American infants had a similar incidence of early HRF (21.7% vs 23.3%) but lower exposure to iNO (16.4% vs 21.6%). Among infants with HRF exposed to iNO, intact survival (no death or NDI) was not significantly different between African American and other races (aOR: 1.5, 95% CI: 0.6–3.6).CONCLUSIONS:Early HRF in infants ≤26 weeks’ gestation is associated with high mortality and NDI at 18 to 26 months. Use of iNO did not decrease mortality or NDI. Outcomes following iNO exposure were not different in African American infants.
German Veterans of the Spanish Civil War and the Struggle for Recognition in West Germany
Authors: Stalnaker Dustin 
Published: September 2020

This paper challenges the recognition paradigm through a historical case study that shows recognition struggles to be ideologically embedded and their success subordinated to, and thus contingent upon, the political priorities of recognition-granting authorities. To this end, the paper explores how Cold War ideological considerations shaped the ways in which the West German state processed recognition claims made upon it by two distinct groups of German veterans of the Spanish Civil War: German antifascists who fought as non-state actors in defense of the Spanish Republic and other Germans who fought in support of the Nationalist rebels at the behest of the National Socialist regime. Showing that the West German state’s ostensible commitment to recognition of historical injustice in connection with the National Socialist past was subordinated to the aim of self-legitimation in the Cold War present, the paper calls for a broader sociopolitical contextualization of recognition struggles.
Understanding Social Exclusion through Minimum Income Recipients’ Living Conditions
Authors: Martinez Virto Lucia , Perez Eransus Begoña 
Published: September 2020

There is a long academic and institutional trajectory that understands social exclusion as an accumulation of barriers that hinder social participation. However, stereotypes about misuse and dependency on social benefits continue to be widespread in society. Fighting poverty is the first objective of sustainable development and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Commitment is needed from institutions to disseminate real information about people living in exclusion. This study of the living conditions of Minimum Income recipients in Navarre (Spain) shows that households that stay longer in the scheme encounter serious obstacles accessing employment, including unrecognized physical and mental illnesses, are required to care for dependents, or have weak job skills. The related study was conducted through a database analysis of 14,000 benefit recipients and in-depth interviews with 20 recipients. The results show that inclusion through work continues to play a central role in the fight against social exclusion. However, this remains a difficult goal to achieve for many recipients, and employment does not always guarantee social inclusion due to harsh conditions and low salaries. This article recognizes the inclusive potential of economic benefits, since they prevent the deterioration of living conditions and favor social participation. Finally, it suggests a new institutional strategy based on two activities: designing inclusion-based activities around the real needs of poor people, and promoting the commitment of all actors and agents in society in the fight against poverty.

CRYPTOCURRENCY AS PART OF THE BANKRUPTCY ESTATE OF THE INSOLVENT DEBTOR
Authors: Shishmareva T. P. 
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the possibility of including one of the types of digital rights of cryptocurrency as a potential object of bankruptcy estate. It is concluded that it is possible to include cryptocurrency, which is stored in a cryptocurrency wallet in the electronic system into the bankruptcy estate up to its real value with which creditors’ claims can be satisfied. The problems arising in connection with the inclusion of cryptocurrency in the bankruptcy estate of the insolvent debtor associated with the anonymity of its ownership and the specifics of the foreclosure have been identified. The anonymity of the existence of cryptocurrency in the electronic system does not allow the inclusion of property in the bankruptcy estate without the assistance of the debtor. It is recognized that cryptocurrency cannot be traded via electronic auctions in bankruptcy proceedings due to its existence in the framework of a special information system and short time price volatility. A distinction between cryptocurrency and electronic money has been made.
THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE RUSSIAN STOCK MARKET: LEGAL ASPECTS
Authors: Lubyagina D. V. 
Published: September 2020

The article is devoted to the topical issue of the introduction of digital financial instruments and the use of blockchain technology in the securities market, which is supposed to make the stock market more transparent and reduce the risks of participants. The main legislative trends in the development of digitalization in the financial market are considered. Attention is drawn to the characteristics of certain relatively recently introduced new financial market instruments, the features of legal regulation of their circulation and the problems that arise when using them in practice (for example, the United States as a pioneer in these issues). In connection with a whole package of legal acts aimed at regulating relations in the financial market in the conditions of digitalization, the issue of further prospects for the development of the securities Institute is considered, and the problem of justifying the division of securities into documentary and non-documentary as financial instruments with different legal regimes is raised.
