AbstractInformation is scarce on human responses to high pressure exposures out of water, such as related to tunnel construction workers. We hypothesized that differences in the longer durations of exposures for tunnel workers versus underwater divers results in greater inflammatory responses linked to the pathophysiology of decompression sickness (DCS). Blood was analyzed from 15 tunnel workers (36.1 ± 10.5 (SD) years old, 6 women) exposed to 142–156 kPa pressure for 4.1–4.9 h compared to 8 SCUBA divers (39.3 ± 13.3 (SD) years old, 6 women) exposed to 149 kPa for 0.61 hours. Despite differences in pressure duration between groups, elevations were the same for blood microparticles (MPs) (128 ± 28% MPs/μl) and intra‐MPs interleukin (IL‐1β) (376 ± 212% pg/million MPs), and for decreases of plasma gelsolin (pGSN, 31 ± 27% μg/mL). The number of circulating CD66b + neutrophils and evidence of cell activation, insignificant for divers, increased in tunnel workers. Across 3 exposures, the mean neutrophil count increased 150 ± 11%. Neutrophil activation increased by 1 to 2% of cells expressing cell surface CD18, myeloperoxidase, platelet‐specific CD41, and decrease of cell bound pGSN. We conclude that MPs elevations occur rapidly in humans and reach steady state in minutes with pressure exposures and neutrophil activation requires significantly longer exposure times.

Abstract
Wearable sensors (WS) play a vital role in health assistance to improve the patient monitoring process. However, the existing data collection process faces difficulties in error corrections, rehabilitation, and training validations. Therefore, the data analysis requires additional effort to reduce the overall problems in sports rehabilitation. The existing research difficulties are overcome by applying the proposed spatial data correlation with a support vector machine (SDC-SVM). The algorithm uses the hyperplane function that recognizes sportsperson activities and improves overall activity recognition efficiency. The sensor data are analyzed according to the input margin, and the classification process is performed. In addition, feature correlation and input size are considered to maximize the overall classification procedure of WS data correlation using the size and margin of the input and previously stored data. In both the differentiation and classification instances, the spatiotemporal features of data are extracted and analyzed using support vectors. The proposed SDC-SVM method can improve recognition accuracy, F1 score, and computing time for the varying WS inputs, classifications, and subjects.
Resultative secondary predicates in cooking recipes: an empirical study of Germanic and Romance languages
Authors: Métairy Justine 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The present article provides a contrastive corpus-based analysis of resultative secondary predicates in recipe contexts. Two Germanic languages (Dutch and English) and two Romance languages (French and Spanish) are investigated. Based on a sample of 4,000 (i.e., 1,000 per language) resultative constructions (RCs) retrieved from a tailor-made corpus of cooking recipes, this study sheds new light on Talmy’s typological dichotomy between satellite-framed and verb-framed languages. Specifically, it is shown that (i) Adjectival phrases (APs) are not totally excluded from Romance RCs but their occurrence is restricted in several ways. (ii) Prepositional phrases (PPs) can be headed by a whole range of prepositions (or ‘result markers’) which exhibit important differences in terms of semantic properties, token frequency, and distribution across verb classes: ‘weak’ result markers, which mainly consist of locative prepositions (viz. in ‘in’ in Dutch, in in English and en ‘in’ and a ‘to’ in Spanish) occur almost exclusively in RCs that contain achievements, which are argued to be less dynamic, depictive-like instances of the construction. By contrast, ‘strong’ result markers (e.g., tot ‘to/until’ in Dutch, to, into, and until in English, en ‘in’ in French and a punto de ‘to point of’ in Spanish) combine with various aspectual classes, including activities, and may therefore give rise to ‘strong’ (i.e., aspect-shifting) RCs. Finally, (iii) although they are both ‘satellite-framed’ languages, Dutch and English impose different restrictions on the formal encoding of APs, which are very often preceded by the preposition until in English as a result of discourse and internal language factors.
Capturing variation of discourse relations in English parallel data through automatic annotation and alignment

Published: November 2024

AbstractWe present a study of discourse connectives and discourse relations in English parallel texts, i.e. in written and spoken originals, as well as translation and interpreting from German. For this, we apply automatic procedures to annotate discourse connectives and relations they trigger in a parallel corpus. We look at distributions of various connectives and discourse relations, comparing spoken and written mode, as well as original and translated or interpreted language production. Furthermore, we analyse the translation patterns in terms of translation entropy. We link our observations to the phenomena of explicitation and implicitation. We find that in both interpreting and translation, explicitation and implicitation patters are affected by the cognitive complexity of the discourse relation signalled by the connective. Moreover, we also show that the difference in the specificity of the same connectives in interpreting and translation also depends on the type of relation they trigger.

Background. The main component of the treatment of bronchial asthma is to achieve complete control over the disease. The aim of the study is to examine the role of educational programs in the treatment of bronchial asthma in schoolchildren of the Chechen Republic.Methods. The educational programs included group and individual classes, which were conducted at the allergy school of the specialized Department of Allergology and Immunology of the E.P. Glinka Republican Children’s Clinical Hospital by an allergologist-immunologist. Educational meetings were held once a week for 2 months, their duration was 1–1.5 hours. Initially and every 3 months for one-year, bronchial asthma control was assessed based on the results of the Asthma Control Test (ACT), the number of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, attacks of shortness of breath stopped at home, missed days at school, the use of systemic glucocorticoids, indicators of pulmonary function test (PFT), the level of nitric oxide in exhaled air. The subjects were divided into two groups: group A —trained, group B — did not participate in educational programs. The subjects were represented by two age subgroups: group IA — 7–8 years old (n = 24), group IIA — 13–14 years old (n = 13). The control group consisted of 37 children who did not undergo allergy school training, who were observed on an outpatient basis by an allergist-immunologist: group IB — 7–8 years old (n = 23), group IIB — 13–14 years old (n = 14).Results. 3 months after the educational activities, the lack of control over bronchial asthma, according to the results of the ACT, was noted only in 10.8% (4) of patients, whereas in the comparison group — in 59.5% (22). The PFT study recorded an increase in the volume of forced exhalation in 1 second in children who attended allergy school (p < 0.05). A comparative analysis of the frequency of emergency room visits and hospitalizations revealed a decrease in the studied indicators in groups IA and IIA (p < 0.05). The number of missed days at school due to bronchial asthma was significantly lower in children after educational activities — 16.1% (6) and amounted to less than 14 days. Attacks of shortness of breath for 12 months occurred only in 18.9% (7) of patients and were stopped independently, their frequency ranged from 1 to 3, and the use of systemic glucocorticoids in arresting an attack was not recorded among children who attended allergy school.Conclusion. Thus, our study confirmed the high importance of educational programs in the treatment of bronchial asthma, which are an additional tool for achieving disease control and allow timely prevention of disease progression.

Abstract
Aberrant response to physiological cell stress is part of the mechanisms underlying the development of diverse human diseases, including neuropathologies. Neuroglobin (NGB), an intracellular monomeric globin, has gained attention for its role in endogenous stress response pathways in neuroprotection. To date, evidence supports the concept of NGB as an inducible protein, triggered by physiological and pathological stimuli via transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional mechanisms, offering cell-autonomous neuroprotective functions under various cellular stresses. Notably, recent evidence suggests the extracellular occurrence of NGB. We aimed to explore whether NGB redistribution in the cell microenvironment may serve in transmitting resilience capability in a model with neuronal characteristics. Results obtained in SH-SY5Y demonstrated that intracellular NGB upregulation is associated with the promotion of the extracellular release of the globin. Additionally, cell secretome from NGB-overexpressing cells, characterized by globin accumulation, exhibits protective effects against oxidative stress and mitochondrial toxicity, as evidenced by reduced apoptosis and preserved mitochondrial structure. These findings shed light on the potential significance of extracellular NGB as part of a common cell response to physiological and stress conditions and as a factor promoting cell resilience. Furthermore, the potential for neuroprotection of extracellular NGB paves the way for future therapeutic opportunities.
El impacto de la cuarta dimensión lírica en la poesía satírica de Ambrose Bierce: un análisis del recurso expresivo fonológico en dos de sus poemas
Authors: García Carreño Ariadna 
Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo pretende demostrar que el componente fonológico de la poesía de Ambrose Bierce constituye un recurso expresivo mediante el cual el escritor satírico transmite de una manera más eficaz la crítica social que vertebra sus composiciones. El tratamiento particular de dicho componente, junto con un tono satírico e irónico, se combina en el objeto poético para señalar de una manera más incisiva la denuncia que hace Bierce de distintos miembros de la sociedad estadounidense de fin de siècle. En concreto, este análisis se centra en “Arma Virumque” y “King of Bores”, poemas pertenecientes a su colección Shapes of Clay, en los que el poeta ridiculiza la institución militar de ee. uu. y la figura del “pelma”, respectivamente. Este estudio sigue las ideas postuladas por Abrams (2012) sobre la “cuarta dimensión” del poema o, en otras palabras, los significados que los rasgos fonológicos de una composición lírica dejan entrever a partir de su recitación. Los resultados de este trabajo indican que este recurso le permite al lector experimentar en su propio cuerpo, mediante su aparato fonador, la cáustica crítica social que Bierce plasma en sus poemas.

Published: November 2024

Para enfrentar as atuais dificuldades no ensino, precisamos utilizar meios eficientes de comunicação e atrativos ao seu público-alvo. Cursos de extensão se mostram como potentes ferramentas para atuar nessas questões e, se criados em formatos online, podem ampliar e enriquecer os debates. Quando utilizam abordagens como a CienciArte, podem tornar o aprendizado prazeroso e interdisciplinar. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as contribuições dos romances gráficos na construção de curso de extensão virtual em CienciArte com foco em discussões no ensino em biociências e saúde. O curso, denominado SASN - Saúde, Ambiente e Sociedade em Narrativa foi ofertado, em 2023, a duas turmas, atendendo um total de 47 participantes. A formação teve 8 encontros síncronos (Google Meet) e atividades assíncronas via Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (Campus Virtual Fiocruz). Os participantes eram das regiões sudeste (39), norte (4) e nordeste (4), com diferentes faixas etárias e, predominantemente, estudantes de licenciatura (21) e professores (17) das áreas de Ciências da natureza e saúde (40). Antes da formação, 22 pessoas informaram ter hábitos de leitura de histórias em quadrinhos e romances gráficos e, ao final, 33 relatam que ampliaram ou passaram a ter tal prática. Revelando que as atividades oferecidas cumpriram papel social e cultural além de discussões teóricas. Percebemos também boa aceitação em aspectos como temas discutidos, ferramentas e metodologias. Assim, SASN se mostrou uma ação lúdica, interdisciplinar e de formação complementar. Na qual almejamos ofertá-la à novos públicos e consolidar nossa metodologia, para futura (re)configuração no formato autoinstrucional.

SAVE: An Alliance for Reservoir Simulation Software Integration
Authors: Haringa Hans , Little Todd , Austin Andy , Aydelotte Robert 
Published: November 2024

Computer Applications

Summary
Simulation Application View of Epicentre (SAVE) is an industry alliance formed to meet practical end-user needs for an integrated reservoir simulation software environment. This alliance of application developers and end users created an atmosphere where competitors worked together evolving standards to achieve integration by use of existing commercial applications.

Introduction
Oil companies are demanding improved work-flow performance from their multidisciplined teams. Integration, including the use of reservoir simulation, is expected to improve the effectiveness of business decisions regarding reservoir performance. For integration to be effective, business processes and software need to be adapted. Software developers, venders, and oil companies alike do not have sufficient resources to satisfy independently the needs of the E&P industry. Only through industrywide collaboration will an integrated environment be realized. The potential benefits of this are a 25% to 50% improvement in the efficiency of engineers and a 40% reduction in the cost of information systems.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

In response to the growing demand for computation and storage, and increasing vulnerabilities to attacks, maintaining image security and integrity remains a critical challenge. This paper introduces a novel, lossless image compression algorithm integrating improved fractal coding and a robust encryption method based on a new hyperchaotic system, irregular block permutation, and non-adjacent diffusion. The proposed 4D hyperchaotic system exhibits a wider chaotic range and more complex dynamics than existing systems, generating high-quality pseudo-random sequences for enhanced encryption security. Additionally, a lossless multi-directional delta encoding and segment run-length encoding method, utilizing variable-grid fractal coding, are developed to optimize data compression and preserve information integrity. Furthermore, a Tetris-based permutation and 2D nonlinear diffusion technique is proposed, using irregular patterns and non-adjacent double diffusion to resist various attacks. Experiments show that compared with other compression and encryption algorithms, the proposed algorithm has a higher compression ratio, strong sensitivity to key or plaintext, and can resist various attacks, such as brute-force attacks, statistical attacks and differentiable attacks.
Maternal ancestry reveals cyclical aging of the mammary gland.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

We present provocative data that in addition to the expected progressive age-related involution, mammary gland aging can occur in a cyclical pattern and is dictated by maternal ancestry. In cyclical aging, mammary glands of 11 and 19 months old mice share genetic and proteomic signatures, which are enriched in breast cancer-related pathways, but are absent at 3 and 14 months. Since incidence of breast cancer shows a bimodal age distribution at 45 (~ 11m in mice) and 65 (~ 19m in mice), cyclical aging may contribute to these peaks of cancer susceptibility. Conversely, since the mammary glands at 3 and 14 months cluster together hierarchically, the cancer-associated peaks seem separated by a rejuvenation phase. Since cyclical aging is observed in mice with extended lifespan, these findings raise the possibility that if oncogenic mutations are avoided during the pro-oncogenic phases, through its rejuvenation phase, cyclical aging may impact multiple organs leading to extended longevity.
Prediction of new onset atrial fibrillation in acute myocardial infarction using fragmented QRS complex combined with HEART score
Authors: Zhang Chengyang , Zhou Gendong 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objective
This study explores the predictive value of fragmented QRS (fQRS) wave combined with the HEART score for new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Method
A regression analysis was conducted on clinical data from AMI patients who underwent emergency PCI at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between March 2019 and October 2023. A total of 509 AMI patients without a history of atrial fibrillation were included. The presence of fQRS was determined by electrocardiogram, dividing patients into an fQRS group (303 cases) and a non-fQRS group (206 cases). HEART scores were calculated at admission, categorizing patients into low-risk (30 cases), medium-risk (220 cases), and high-risk (259 cases) groups. NOAF occurrence was observed during hospitalization and within 6 months post-discharge. The study compared the incidence of various parameters and NOAF across different groups and analyzed the ROC curves for fQRS, HEART score, and their combined predictive value for NOAF.
Result
During the 6-month follow-up, 50 out of 509 AMI patients developed NOAF. The fQRS group showed higher rates of NOAF, elevated VLDL levels, more STEMI cases, and a higher history of alcohol consumption compared to the non-fQRS group. The LVEF value was lower in the fQRS group, with these differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05). NOAF occurred in 12.58% of the fQRS group, compared to 5.83% in the non-fQRS group, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). High-risk patients had a higher incidence of NOAF than those in the medium and low-risk groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified fQRS and HEART scores as risk factors for short-term NOAF after emergency PCI in AMI patients (OR = 2.761, 95% CI: 1.227–6.217, P = 0.014; OR = 1.618, 95% CI: 1.148–2.281, P = 0.06). The area under the ROC curve for fQRS in predicting NOAF was 0.599 (95% CI: 0.522–0.677), for the HEART score 0.657 (95% CI: 0.584–0.730), and for the combined prediction 0.691 (95% CI: 0.617–0.764). The combined prediction model had a larger ROC curve area than either fQRS or HEART score alone.
Conclusion
The fQRS wave and HEART score can predict NOAF in AMI patients following emergency PCI. Combining both improves predictive accuracy.
