Abstract

Context
The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is correlated with metabolic diseases and inflammation. Whether the HGI is associated with the aging process and how inflammation and oxidative stress affect the relationship remain unclear.

Objective
We aimed to analyze links between the HGI and aging biomarkers, and to explore a potential role of inflammation and oxidative stress in the correlations.

Methods
A cross-sectional study of 434 subjects with different glucose intolerances in a rural community was enrolled. The HGI was calculated as the difference between the measured and predicted hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The population was categorized into tertiles of the HGI. Telomere length (LTL) and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) determined by polymerase chain reaction assay. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α and interleukin (IL) 6, 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and glutathione reductase (GR) were measured.

Results
Participants in the high HGI group were older and reported a shorter LTL, higher levels of TNFα, SOD activities, and HbA1c. Correlation analyses demonstrated that HGI was correlated with LTL (r = –0.25, P &lt; .001) and TNFα (r = 0.19, P &lt; .001) regardless of HbA1c levels. No relationship was found between HGI and mtDNAcn. HGI (β = –0.238, 95% CI –0.430, –0.046, P = .015) and TNFα (β = –0.02, 95% CI –0.030, –0.014, P &lt; .001) were proved to be correlated with LTL independently, using multiple linear regression analysis. Ordinal logistic regression models showed that compared with subjects the high HGI group, the possibilities of a higher-level LTL was 5.29-fold in the low HGI group (OR 5.29, 95% CI (2.45, 11.41), P &lt; .001), 2.41-fold in the moderate HGI group (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.35, 4.30, P = .003) after controlling for confounding variables. Mediation analyses indicated that TNFα accounted for 30.39% of the effects of the HGI on LTL.

Conclusion
HGI was negatively related to telomere attrition, independent of HbA1c. TNFα acted as a mediator of the relationship between HGI and LTL.
Hydraulic cements for various intra-coronal applications: Part 1
Authors: Bonsor Stephen J , Camilleri Josette 
Published: September 2021

Hydraulic cements are unique materials that set in the presence of water and do not deteriorate when wet and, as such, they lend themselves to be used in a range of endodontic procedures. Various products are available, and a classification is helpful to guide the clinician. Hydraulic cements may be used in three different locations namely: intra-coronally (pulp capping and barrier regenerative endodontics); intra-radicularly (root canal sealer and apical plug); and extra-radicularly (perforation repair and root-end filler). This article is the first of two parts and reviews the chemistry of these materials and their intra-coronal use. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Hydraulic cements are indicated for several procedures in clinical endodontics and their efficacy is supported by an increasing body of evidence.

Hoeffding–Sobol decomposition of homogeneous co-survival functions: from Choquet representation to extreme value theory application
Authors: Mercadier Cécile , Ressel Paul 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The paper investigates the Hoeffding–Sobol decomposition of homogeneous co-survival functions. For this class, the Choquet representation is transferred to the terms of the functional decomposition, and in addition to their individual variances, or to the superset combinations of those. The domain of integration in the resulting formulae is reduced in comparison with the already known expressions. When the function under study is the stable tail dependence function of a random vector, ranking these superset indices corresponds to clustering the components of the random vector with respect to their asymptotic dependence. Their Choquet representation is the main ingredient in deriving a sharp upper bound for the quantities involved in the tail dependograph, a graph in extreme value theory that summarizes asymptotic dependence.
On a stronger reconstruction notion for monoids and clones
Authors: Behrisch Mike , Vargas-García Edith 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Motivated by reconstruction results by Rubin, we introduce
a new reconstruction notion for permutation groups, transformation monoids and clones, called automatic action
compatibility, which entails automatic homeomorphicity. We further give a characterization of automatic
homeomorphicity for transformation monoids on arbitrary carriers with a dense group of invertibles having automatic
homeomorphicity. We then show how to lift automatic action compatibility from groups to monoids and from monoids to
clones under fairly weak assumptions. We finally employ these theorems to get automatic action compatibility
results for monoids and clones over several well-known countable structures, including the strictly ordered
rationals, the directed and undirected version of the random graph, the random tournament and bipartite graph,
the generic strictly ordered set, and the directed and undirected versions of the universal homogeneous Henson graphs.
A simple proof of the generalized Leibniz rule on bounded Euclidean domains

Abstract
This paper is devoted to a simple proof of the generalized Leibniz rule in bounded domains. The operators under consideration are the so-called spectral Laplacian and the restricted Laplacian. Equations involving such operators have lately been considered by Constantin and Ignatova in the framework of the SQG equation

Commutative L-algebras and measure theory
Authors: Rump Wolfgang 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Measure and integration theory for finitely additive measures, including vector-valued measures,
is shown to be essentially covered by a class of commutative
L-algebras, called measurable algebras. The domain and range of any
measure is a commutative L-algebra. Each measurable algebra embeds
into its structure group, an abelian group with a compatible lattice
order, and each (general) measure extends uniquely to a monotone group
homomorphism between the structure groups. On the other hand, any measurable
algebra X is shown to be the range of an essentially unique measure on
a measurable space, which plays the role of a universal covering. Accordingly,
we exhibit a fundamental group of X, with stably closed subgroups
corresponding to a special class of measures with X as target. All structure
groups of measurable algebras arising in a classical context are archimedean.
Therefore, they admit a natural embedding into a group of extended real-valued
continuous functions on an extremally disconnected compact space, the Stone space of the measurable algebra.
Extending Loomis’ integration theory for
finitely additive measures, it is proved that, modulo null functions, each
integrable function can be represented by a unique continuous function on the Stone space.

AbstractWe unify various étale groupoid reconstruction theorems such as the following:•Kumjian and Renault’s reconstruction from a groupoid C*-algebra;•Exel’s reconstruction from an ample inverse semigroup;•Steinberg’s reconstruction from a groupoid ring;•Choi, Gardella and Thiel’s reconstruction from a groupoidLp{L^{p}}-algebra.We do this by working with certainbumpysemigroupsSof functions defined on an étale groupoidG. The semigroup structure ofStogether with the diagonal subsemigroupDthen yields a natural domination relation≺{\prec}onS. The groupoid of≺{\prec}-ultrafilters is then isomorphic to the original groupoidG.
On the topological complexity of manifolds with abelian fundamental group
Authors: Cohen Daniel C. , Vandembroucq Lucile 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
We find conditions which ensure that the topological complexity of a closed manifold M with abelian fundamental group is nonmaximal, and see through examples that our conditions are sharp. This generalizes
results of Costa and Farber on the topological complexity of spaces with small fundamental group. Relaxing the commutativity condition on the fundamental group, we also generalize results of Dranishnikov on the Lusternik–Schnirelmann category of the cofibre of the diagonal map

Fiberwise linear differential operators

We define a new notion of fiberwise linear differential operator on the total space of a vector bundle E. Our main result is that fiberwise linear differential operators on E are equivalent to (polynomial) derivations of an appropriate line bundle over

. We believe this might represent a first step towards a definition of multiplicative (resp. infinitesimally multiplicative) differential operators on a Lie groupoid (resp. a Lie algebroid). We also discuss the linearization of a differential operator around a submanifold.
Social, Moral and Legal Rules, Biopolitics and the Covid-19 Crisis
Authors: Garbarino Carlo 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The article relies on the social and legal perspective not only to better understand how norms are created and change through interactions among agents, but also to shed light on how norms are internalized in social practice. The article is organized as follows. Initially the article explores the basic assumption that deontic operators acquire their meaning via social conventions generating “personal rules” having a “mental content” which belongs to a wider “normative mind”, a mind that obviously encompasses all sorts of choices. The article then describes the different types of personal rules, distinguishing social, moral, and legal rules across the normative mind, focusing on social rules within institutions, conceived as sets of rules in equilibrium. The core of this study puts to the test the taxonomy of personal (social, moral, and legal) rules within the normative mind by exploring a situation of “dense normativity” addressed by a 2021 Lancet paper concerning findings about “tight–loose cultures” during the Covid-19 crisis, and, for the sake of explanation, focuses on one of the main normative constraints that epitomizes the challenge of the Covid-19 crisis to “tight–loose” cultures: the “wear-mask rule”. These observations can be extended to other normative constraints of that crisis, but in essence they parse the interplay between the different types of personal rules, which not only are social, but also moral and legal, drawing conclusions that complement the findings of the Lancet paper with some critical observations. The article critically concludes with remarks about the co-existence of different normative systems of personal rules in a context of biopolitics and suggests that individual morality appears to be the core of normativity to address collective threats such as those caused by the Covid-19 crisis.
Literary “higher dimensions” quantified: a stylometric study of nine stories
Authors: Místecký Michal , Melka Tomi S. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe study will focus on the quantitative assessment of nine stories, considered important contributions in the supernatural and in the early and modern science-fiction prose. Besides the two treatments of the topic of imaginaryFlatland – penned by E. A. Abbott and C. H. Hinton –, the corpus includes writings by H. G. Wells, A. Blackwood, M. Leinster, G. Waldeyer, R. A. Heinlein, L. Padgett, and A. C. Clarke. Texts are researched on the bases of four analyses (moving-average type-token ratio, average tokens length, Busemann’s coefficient, and collocation associativity), with the results tested for statistical significance; next, the textual comparisons will provide a springboard for sketches of literary criticism interpretations. The analyzed corpus has revealed the distinctive and colorful take writers have in their stories. By the nature of their subject, the texts are expected to sharehigher dimensionsandtime warps, a thread implying a meeting point in terms of vocabulary richness, plot development, and possibly of narrative structure. Yet, in most cases, the findings suggest basic and nuanced differences, hinting at clear stylistic physiognomies in the authorship. The outcome affects not only the assessment of the weight individual samples have, but also the interface between a common (sub)genreandpersonal style.
A non-cooperative game based energy management considering distributed energy resources in price-based and incentive-based demand response program
Authors: Gaba Monika , Chanana Saurabh 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Demand response (DR), an integral part of the smart grid, has great potential in handling the challenges of the existing power grid. The potential of different DR programs in the energy management of residential consumers (RCs) and the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) is an important research topic. A novel distributed approach for energy management of RCs considering the competitive interactions among them is presented in this paper. The impact of participation of RC’s in price-based (PB) and incentive-based (IB) DR programs is investigated using game theory. For this, an energy management optimization problem (EMOP) is formulated to minimize electricity cost. The utility company employs electricity price as a linear function of aggregated load in the PB DR program and an incentive rate in the IBDR program. RCs are categorized into active and passive users. Active users are further distinguished based on the ownership of energy storage devices (SD) and dispatchable generation units (DGU). EMOP is modeled using a non-cooperative game, and the distributed proximal decomposition method is used to obtain the Nash equilibrium of the game. The results of the proposed approach are analyzed using different case studies. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated in terms of aggregated cost and system load profile. It has been observed that participation in PB and IBDR program benefits both the utility and the consumers.

Abstract
In this study, the physico-chemical properties of tomato powder produced by an optimized freeze drying process (FDP) were evaluated. With the lycopene content as the dependent variable, the optimum FDP conditions (i.e., thermal cracking time of 62 s, ascorbic acid addition amount [0.13%], and particle size [Dv90] of 163 μm) were obtained through response surface methodology (RSM). The results showed that the content of lycopene in the prepared tomato powder was higher than that in two commercial products. Aldehydes were the main components among 25 kinds of aromatic substances detected in tomato powder. The values of a

N-gram use in EFL learners’ retelling and monologic tasks
Authors: Zhang Xiaopeng , Zhao Baoshan , Li Wenwen 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis study examinedn-gram use in oral production by Chinese college-level English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at four distinct proficiency levels. Thirty indices regarding range, frequency, and association strength of bi- and tri-grams obtained from retelling and monologic samples were analyzed. Results suggest that, i) the four proficiency levels differed in measures for frequency and association strength of bi- and tri-grams, ii) academic bi- and tri-gram proportions and association strength (captured by MI- andt-scores) were predictive of EFL speaking proficiency for both the retelling and monologic samples but the effects were small, and iii) EFL learners used more well-attested bi- and tri-grams in monologues than in retelling, demonstrating that higher rated samples tended to contain more strongly-associated bi- and tri-grams, a greater proportion of frequent attested academic tri-grams, and that EFLn-gram use was task-sensitive. These findings help enrich our understanding on EFL development of multi-word sequences and have potentially useful implications for EFL pedagogy.

Abstract

Objectives
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase alfa (rhGAA) has changed the fatal course of infantile Pompe disease, however, development of anti rhGAA antibodies and infusion-associated reactions (IAR) restrict the tolerability and effectiveness of the treatment.

Case presentation
We describe a successful concomitant immune tolerance induction (ITI) and desensitization protocols in a cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM) negative 7-month-old male patient. At the age of 5 months and eighth dose of the ERT, the patient developed IAR and his rhGAA specific IgE was negative however, his rhGAA specific IgG titer was as high as 12,800. ITI therapy to suppress antibody formation and a desensitization protocol was devised to be given concomitantly. At the end of 5-week therapy, his fatigue and weakness improved profoundly and a control antidrug antibody level decreased at 800. At the time of the patient’s follow up, he was still on ERT with desensitization at the age of 15 months without any reactions.

Conclusions
This is the first report in the literature applying concomitant ITI and desensitization protocols in a CRIM negative infantile-onset Pompe disease patient successfully, hence the importance of the case.
