The Mystics and Magic of Latent Space: Becoming the Unseen
Authors: Seberger John S. , Slaughter Aubrey 
Published: April 2021

Bridging concerns from human-computer interaction (HCI) and media studies, this essay theorizes deepfake images in terms of their phenomenological implications: the extent to which they enfold the human viewer in a world of the otherwise unseen. Drawing on comparative phenomenology of Vilém Flusser and Louis Bec, we focus on variational autoencoders (VAEs). We contend that the processes underlying deepfake image construction, as much as deepfake images themselves, evidence a parallel, prosthetic, and computational phenomenology: a study of “that which appears” to a computer, and which appears secondarily to a user-human as image. We use the example of VAEs to argue for the emergence of a second-order, received phenomenology of the augmented human as we reside in an increasingly computational world.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND:

Thyrotoxicosis is a common medical problem. Thyroid nuclear imaging with either I
123
or technetium-99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate are used to determine the cause. Although I
123
has been the standard technique, Tc-99m pertechnetate is now commonly used, acceptable and easier to perform. The commonly used normal value of Tc-99m pertechnetate is 1–4%, but lower normal values have been reported in different populations.

OBJECTIVE:
Determine normal reference range of Tc-99m pertechne-tate thyroid uptake for thyroid scintigraphy in Saudi Arabia.

DESIGN:
Retrospective, cross-sectional.

SETTING:
Nuclear medicine service at tertiary care center in Riyadh.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
We used data from biochemically euthyroid patients who underwent a thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan while having parathyroid scintigraphy for hyperparathyroidism between April 2009 to April 2019. Medical records and biochemical thyroid function tests were reviewed and Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid uptake values were determined for each patient.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Thyroid uptake of Tc-99m pertechne-tate in euthyroid patients.

SAMPLE SIZE:
167

RESULTS:

The mean and median uptake of Tc-99m pertechnetate in euthyroid patients were 0.86% and 1.0%, respectively, and the inter-quartile range was 0.0–1.0%. The normal reference range in the study population was 0.2-2%. Thyroid uptake inversely correlated with age in females (r=−0.37,
P
<.001), males (r=−0.46,
P
=.001), and for all patients (r=?0.39,
P
<.0001).

CONCLUSION:
The range for normal thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate was lower than the standard 1-4% range. Moreover, uptake decreased with age. Further studies are needed to establish the normal age-adjusted uptake for the thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan.

LIMITATIONS:
Single center and retrospective.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.

What the Shipbuilding Future Holds in Terms of CAD/CAM/CIM Systems
Authors: Fernandez Rodrigo Perez 
Published: April 2021

We are living a continuous and fast technology evolution, maybe this evolution goes faster than our capacity to assimilate what we can do with it, but the potential is clear and the future will be for those who identifies the right technology with the right application. In the information era, we are literally swimming in an ocean of structured and not structured data and thanks to the evolution in the Telecommunications technologies, all that information can be used from everywhere. However, information means nothing without the capability to analyze, extract conclusions and learn from it, which is way the technologies like treatment of Big Data and the Artificial Intelligence are crucial.
Imagine how these technologies shall allow engaging the design of a part or any concept by applying rules, which will facilitate the design significantly, how the integration of the validation of the structural models by the Classification Societies will be linked directly by cloud applications. Imagine all the benefits of this two simple examples that can be implemented thanks to the potential of these technologies.
The way we work with shipbuilding CAD tools is also changing thanks to the ubiquitous access to the information and the different hardware available to explode that information: AR, VR, MR, Smartphones, tablets, etc.
Nevertheless, not only the way we work, but also the way we interact with shipbuilding CAD tools is changing, with technologies like natural language processes that allows having a direct conversation with the applications.
The concepts that are absolutely clear from now to the future in shipbuilding is the use of Data Centric model and the concept of Digital Twin, a real and effective synchronization between what we design, what we construct, by covering the complete life cycle of the product thanks to technologies like IoT and RFID.
This paper tries to explain the importance to understand how the new generations of naval architects and marine engineers are immersed in a technological world in constant and rapid evolution. The way they interacts with this ecosystem will determine the way we should define the new rules of the shipbuilding CAD systems.
miR-155-5p upregulation ameliorates myocardial insulin resistance via mTOR signaling in chronic alcohol drinking rats
Authors: Li Zhaoping , Hu Zhenzhen , Meng Yan , Xu Hongzhao , Wei Yali , Shen Deqiang , Bai Hao , Yuan Huacai , Chen Liyong 
Published: April 2021

Background
Chronic alcohol intake is associated with an increased risk of alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which may present with pathological changes such as myocardial insulin resistance, leading to ventricular dilation and cardiac dysfunction. Although a correlation between microRNA-155 (miR-155) and insulin signaling has been identified, the underlying mechanism has not been elucidated to date. The purpose of the study was to determine whether overexpression of miR-155-5p in vivo could ameliorate chronic alcohol-induced myocardial insulin resistance and cardiac dysfunction.

Material and Methods
Wistar rats were fed with either alcohol or water for 20 weeks to establish chronic alcohol intakes model. Then the alcohol group were divided into three groups: model group, miRNA-155 group and AAV-NC group. Rats undergoing alcohol treatment were injected with AAV-miRNA-155 (adeno-associated virus 9) or its negative control AAV-NC, respectively. Gene expression was determined by real-time PCR, and protein expression was determined by western blot. Echocardiography was performed to assess terminal cardiac function. Insulin responsiveness was determined through the quantification of phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 (ser 307) and phosphorylated insulin receptor (Tyr 1185) levels.

Results
We found that cardiac function was attenuated in chronic alcohol intake rats, with an activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, accompanied by an increase in p-IRS1(ser 307) and a decrease in p-IR (Tyr 1185) level in myocardial tissue. Also, alcohol drinking significantly up-regulated miR-155-5p level and its overexpression decreased p-IRS1 (ser 307) and increased p-IR (Tyr 1185) levels, and meanwhile inhibited the mTOR signaling pathway.

Conclusion
miR-155-5p upregulation ameliorates myocardial insulin resistance via the mTOR signaling in chronic alcohol drinking rats. We propose that miR-155 may serve as a novel potential therapeutic target for alcoholic heart disease.
Multi-schema computational prediction of the comprehensive SARS-CoV-2 vs. human interactome
Authors: Dick Kevin , Chopra Anand , Biggar Kyle K. , Green James R. 
Published: April 2021

Background
Understanding the disease pathogenesis of the novel coronavirus, denoted SARS-CoV-2, is critical to the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics. The global propagation of the viral disease, denoted COVID-19 (“coronavirus disease 2019”), has unified the scientific community in searching for possible inhibitory small molecules or polypeptides. A holistic understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 vs. human inter-species interactome promises to identify putative protein-protein interactions (PPI) that may be considered targets for the development of inhibitory therapeutics.

Methods
We leverage two state-of-the-art, sequence-based PPI predictors (PIPE4 & SPRINT) capable of generating the comprehensive SARS-CoV-2 vs. human interactome, comprising approximately 285,000 pairwise predictions. Three prediction schemas (all, proximal, RP-PPI) are leveraged to obtain our highest-confidence subset of PPIs and human proteins predicted to interact with each of the 14 SARS-CoV-2 proteins considered in this study. Notably, the use of the Reciprocal Perspective (RP) framework demonstrates improved predictive performance in multiple cross-validation experiments.

Results
The all schema identified 279 high-confidence putative interactions involving 225 human proteins, the proximal schema identified 129 high-confidence putative interactions involving 126 human proteins, and the RP-PPI schema identified 539 high-confidence putative interactions involving 494 human proteins. The intersection of the three sets of predictions comprise the seven highest-confidence PPIs. Notably, the Spike-ACE2 interaction was the highest ranked for both the PIPE4 and SPRINT predictors with the all and proximal schemas, corroborating existing evidence for this PPI. Several other predicted PPIs are biologically relevant within the context of the original SARS-CoV virus. Furthermore, the PIPE-Sites algorithm was used to identify the putative subsequence that might mediate each interaction and thereby inform the design of inhibitory polypeptides intended to disrupt the corresponding host-pathogen interactions.

Conclusion
We publicly released the comprehensive sets of PPI predictions and their corresponding PIPE-Sites landscapes in the following DataVerse repository: https://www.doi.org/10.5683/SP2/JZ77XA. The information provided represents theoretical modeling only and caution should be exercised in its use. It is intended as a resource for the scientific community at large in furthering our understanding of SARS-CoV-2.

Authors: Tian Yusheng , Yue Yuchen , Liao Xiaoli , Wang Jianjian , Ye Man , Liu Yiting , Li Yamin , Zhou Jiansong 
Published: April 2021

Background
To facilitate mental health service planning for nurses, data on the patterns of mental health service use (MHSU) among nurses are needed. However, MHSU among Chinese nurses has seldom been studied. Our study aimed to explore the rate of MHSU among Chinese nurses and to identify the factors associated with MHSU.

Methods
A self-designed anonymous questionnaire was used in this study. MHSU was assessed by the question, “Have you ever used any kind of mental health services, such as mental health outpatient services or psychotherapies, when you felt that your health was suffering due to stress, insomnia, or other reasons?” The answer to the question was binary (yes or no). Sleep quality, burnout, and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and the two-item Patient Health Questionnaire, respectively. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression were used for univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results
A total of 10.94% (301/2750) of the nurses reported MHSU. 10.25% (282/2750) of the nurses had poor sleep quality, burnout and depressive symptoms, and only 26.95% of these nurses reported MHSU. Very poor sleep quality (OR 9.36, 95% CI [5.38-16.29]), mid-level professional title (OR 1.48, 95% CI [1.13-1.93]) and depressive symptoms (OR 1.66, 95% CI [1.28-2.13]) were independent factors associated with MHSU.

Conclusions
Most of the nurses have experienced burnout, poor sleep quality or depressive symptoms and the MHSU rate among them was low. Interventions to improve the mental health of nurses and to promote the use of mental health services are needed.

Published: April 2021

Background
Neck pain has a high annual incidence and decreases the cervical active range of motion (ROM). Clinicians use various methods to evaluate cervical range of motion (CROM) that some of them have also been proposed to give instant feedback. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of Veloflex (VF) to measure the CROM by comparison with the cervical range of motion (CROM) device, and to examine their test-retest reliability.

Methods
Thirty-eight healthy and 20 symptomatic participants were evaluated. Cervical flexion-extension, side bending, and rotations were tested in two sessions, first by the CROM and VF and in the second only with the VF. To evaluate the concurrent validity and agreement between CROM and VF, Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and Bland–Altmann plots were used. Reliability were evaluated using intra-class correlation (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC).

Results
CROM and VF showed excellent correlation for all movements (r > 0.960). Both devices provided small mean ‘bias’ (≤1.29%) in all movements regarding CROM measures. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the VF was excellent (ICC > 0.98). SEMs ranging from 0.72% to 2.38% and the MDC ranging from 1.22° to 2.60° in all participants. The results support the validity and reliability of VF to measure CROM. For its use, with a basic training is enough to get reliable measurements.

Published: April 2021

The yellow mosaic disease of blackgram caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic virus has emerged as a serious threat to pulses production especially in the South Eastern Asia. Seed borne nature of MYMV in blackgram seeds was determined using the seeds harvested from a MYMV resistant (either VBN-6 or VBN-8) and susceptible blackgram (CO-5) varieties grown in three different agroclimatic zones of Tamil Nadu in India for three consecutive cropping seasons namely, Rabi 2018 (October- December), Summer 2019 (March-May) and Kharif 2019 (June- August) at three different time intervals viz., 20, 40 and 60 days after sowing (DAS). Seed borne nature of MYMV was observed only in the susceptible variety CO-5 and was absent in the resistant varieties. Transmission of MYMV from infected plant to seeds was observed in all the three parts of the seeds viz., seed coat, cotyledon and embryo. Seeds from infected plants also showed abnormalities like shrinking, discolouration, ill filling inside pods and misshapen appearance.
