Optimal trajectory planning combining model-based and data-driven hybrid approaches
Authors: Ghnatios Chady , Di Lorenzo Daniele , Champaney Victor , Ammar Amine , Cueto Elias , Chinesta Francisco 
Published: April 2024

AbstractTrajectory planning aims at computing an optimal trajectory through the minimization of a cost function. This paper considers four different scenarios: (i) the first concerns a given trajectory on which a cost function is minimized by a acting on the velocity along it; (ii) the second considers trajectories expressed parametrically, from which an optimal path and the velocity along it are computed; (iii), the case in which only the departure and arrival points of the trajectory are known, and the optimal path must be determined; and finally, (iv) the case involving uncertainty in the environment in which the trajectory operates. When the considered cost functions are expressed analytically, the application of Euler–Lagrange equations constitutes an appealing option. However, in many applications, complex cost functions are learned by using black-box machine learning techniques, for instance deep neural networks. In such cases, a neural approach of the trajectory planning becomes an appealing alternative. Different numerical experiments will serve to illustrate the potential of the proposed methodologies on some selected use cases.

AbstractIn the current work, favipiravir (an antiviral drug) loaded pH-responsive polymeric hydrogels were developed by the free redical polymerization technique. Box-Behnken design method via Design Expert version 11 was employed to furnish the composition of all hydrogel formulations. Here, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been utilized as a polymer, acrylic acid (AA) as a monomer, and potassium persulfate (KPS) and methylene-bisacrylamide (MBA) as initiator and cross-linker, respectively. All networks were evaluated for in-vitro drug release (%), sol-gel fraction (%), swelling studies (%), porosity (%), percentage entrapment efficiency, and chemical compatibilities. According to findings, the swelling was pH sensitive and was shown to be greatest at a pH of 6.8 (2500%). The optimum gel fraction offered was 97.8%. A sufficient porosity allows the hydrogel to load a substantial amount of favipiravir despite its hydrophobic behavior. Hydrogels exhibited maximum entrapment efficiency of favipiravir upto 98%. The in-vitro release studies of drug-formulated hydrogel revealed that the drug release from hydrogel was between 85 to 110% within 24 h. Drug-release kinetic results showed that the Korsmeyer Peppas model was followed by most of the developed formulations based on the R2 value. In conclusion, the hydrogel-based technology proved to be an excellent option for creating the sustained-release dosage form of the antiviral drug favipiravir.
Changes in soil bacterial community structure in a short-term trial with different silicate rock powders

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Background
The use of rock powders in soil has emerged as a nature-based technology to improve soil properties relevant to crop development and for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via enhanced rock weathering (ERW). Although modeling this process is crucial, the soil microbiome has been identified as the main reason why several experimental and field results do not fit the geochemical and kinetic theoretical models. Here, the hypothesis that the bacterial community structure is modulated by the application of different silicate rock powders was tested. One phonolite, three basalt variations and one granite, as well as KCl treatments, were applied to a Ferralsol cultivated with Brachiaria in short-term pedogeochemical experiments and assessed after 1 (1M), 4 (4M) and 8 (8M) months.

Results
The main changes in soil bacterial structure were observed at 8M and found to be modulated according to rock type, with petrochemistry and mineralogy acting as the main drivers. The content of microbial biomass carbon tended to decrease over time in the Control and KCl treatments, especially at 4M, while the rock treatments showed constant behavior. The sampling time and treatment affected the richness and diversity indices. The Si, Ca and Fe from mafic minerals were the main chemical elements related to the soil bacterial changes at 8M.

Conclusions
The type (acidity) of silicate rock powder modulated the soil bacterial community (SBC) in a pot experiment with tropical soil. The specificity of the SBC for each rock type increased with time until the end of the experiment at 8 months (8M). The carbon content in the microbial biomass was lower in the rock powder treatments in the first month (1 M) than in the control and KCl treatments and was equal to or higher than that in the 8 M treatment. This result illustrates the challenge of modeling rock powder dissolution in soil since the soil medium is not inert but changes concurrently with the dissolution of the rock.

Abstract
This introductory essay approaches the problem of form as a problem of value and, more precisely, of the aesthetics of valuation. Building on the scene of exchange outlined by Denise Ferreira da Silva's “modern ethical scene of value,” the essay approaches Hannah Palmer's installation Ghost Pools, which marks the location of two segregated pools in East Point, Georgia, reinterred in the early 1980s, by refusing to compare or equate them, and attending instead to their repressed informalities. Avoiding the equation of value that sustains most formalist readings, this essay instead “reads for informality.”
Correlated Equilibria for Mean Field Games with Progressive Strategies
Authors: Bonesini Ofelia , Campi Luciano , Fischer Markus 
Published: April 2024

In a discrete space and time framework, we study the mean field game limit for a class of symmetric N-player games based on the notion of correlated equilibrium. We give a definition of correlated solution that allows us to construct approximate N-player correlated equilibria that are robust with respect to progressive deviations. We illustrate our definition by way of an example with explicit solutions. Funding: O.

“Seeing Eye to Eye” About Our Relationship Is Good for Us and Everyone Else: An Examination of LMX Agreement and Views of Fair Treatment
Authors: Matta Fadel K. , Frank Emma L. , Muir (Zapata) Cindy P. 
Published: April 2024

Research across a wide array of fields has established the organizational importance of fair treatment and why it should be a primary consideration of supervisors. As such, scholars have begun to unpack characteristics of organizations, supervisors, and employees that may promote fair treatment. Although this literature has been informative and is growing, we know little about how the dyadic interplay between leaders and followers—and, in particular, how both parties’ perceptions of that joint interplay—may facilitate or hinder views of fairness. The lack of clarity on this phenomenon is particularly problematic when one considers that there are several features of dyadic relationships within work units that—by their nature—work against the facilitation of fair treatment (e.g., supervisors inevitably provide some employees more/less information, support, and attention than others because they cannot establish high-quality exchange relationships with every employee). Drawing from common threads found in theories of fairness and role theory surrounding expectation alignment, we posit that the key to facilitating views of fair treatment at any level of relationship quality is for supervisors and employees to “see eye to eye” on LMX quality-LMX agreement. We further theorize that each party’s views of fair treatment flowing from LMX agreement (within the dyad) will ultimately result in leaders being more efficacious about their fairness-related abilities and employees performing at higher levels (beyond the dyad). Results of three field studies (and two supplemental preregistered experiments) largely support our theorizing and further show that fair treatment can result in a self-reinforcing positive fairness-efficacy spiral for supervisors.

RECONFIGURAÇÃO DO INSÓLITO FICCIONAL E DO ARQUÉTIPO DO ZUMBI NO CONTO “CARNE” E DE MARIANA ENRIQUEZ (2017)
Authors: Suleiman das Dores Giovanna , Correia Fernanda 
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho visa refletir a respeito da construção e atualização do insólito ficcional no conto “Carne”, parte integrante da obra Los peligros de fumar en la cama (2017) da autora argentina Mariana Enriquez. A discussão foi desenvolvida com o intuito de discorrer a respeito da organização do insólito ficcional em paralelo com a construção do horror no desenvolvimento do conto, tendo em vista que o conto reflete um fantástico contemporâneo sem abandonar questões essenciais do fantástico tradicional e reconstrói a imagem do arquétipo de zumbi. A pesquisa caminha sob o ponto de vista do fantástico e do insólito tradicional do filósofo e linguista búlgaro, Tzvetan Todorov (2010) em sua obra Introdução à literatura fantástica, e do insólito contemporâneo sob o ponto de vista do escritor e crítico literário espanhol, David Roas (2013) em sua obra A ameaça do fantástica. O horror será tratado sob o ponto de vista do teórico Noel Carroll (2004) em sua obra The philosophy of horror, que propõe como o horror é modalizado dentro das obras e o zumbi será discutido sob o ponto de visto de Deborah Christie (2011) em sua obra Better Off Dead: The evolution of the zombie as post-human. Em face desse contexto, indagamos: Como o insólito é construído ao longo do conto? Quais os recursos narrativos utilizados para a construção do insólito e do horror? Como o arquétipo do zumbi foi reconfigurado? E, por fim: como o arquétipo do zumbi é configurado a partir da relação contemporânea entre fãs e seus objetos de fã, especialmente com a mediação das mídias digitais?

Published: April 2024

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a four-step biofilm-based wound care strategy, Wound Hygiene Protocol (WHP: cleanse, debride, refashion, and dress), on hard-to-heal wounds. Method: This was a prospective, real-world analysis of hard-to-heal wounds managed with the WHP that incorporated Aquacel Ag+ (Convatec Ltd., UK) dressings. Data were captured electronically between April 2021 and December 2022. The primary endpoint was change in wound volume from baseline to final assessment. Results: A total of 693 wounds in 669 patients (median patient age: 74 years) were included in the analysis with a median treatment time of 31 days. Most health professionals were general nurses (50%) or nurse practitioners (38%). Patient homes (27%) and community clinics (27%) were the most common clinical settings. Venous leg ulcers (26%) and pressure ulcers/injuries (17%) were the most common wound type. Duration was >12 months in 21% of wounds. At baseline, the mean wound volume was 57.8cm3. At the final assessment, mean wound volume was 17.2cm3, corresponding to an 80% reduction from baseline; p<0.001). At baseline, 66% of wounds were static or deteriorating. At final assessment, this had decreased to 5%, and 94% had improved or healed. Exudate levels were moderate or high in 69% of wounds at baseline which decreased to 25% at final assessment (p<0.001). Suspected biofilm and local wound infection decreased from 79% and 43%, respectively, at baseline, to 18% and 3%, respectively, at final assessment (p<0.001 for both). Conclusion: The WHP is a new proposed standard of care that successfully treated hard-to-heal wounds by addressing the key local barriers to wound healing.
Application of deep learning to pressure injury staging
Authors: Liu Han , Hu Juan , Zhou Jieying , Yu Rong 
Published: April 2024

Objective: Accurate assessment of pressure injuries (PIs) is necessary for a good outcome. Junior and non-specialist nurses have less experience with PIs and lack clinical practice, and so have difficulty staging them accurately. In this work, a deep learning-based system for PI staging and tissue classification is proposed to help improve its accuracy and efficiency in clinical practice, and save healthcare costs. Method: A total of 1610 cases of PI and their corresponding photographs were collected from clinical practice, and each sample was accurately staged and the tissues labelled by experts for training a Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN, Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research, Meta, US) object detection and instance segmentation network. A recognition system was set up to automatically stage and classify the tissues of the remotely uploaded PI photographs. Results: On a test set of 100 samples, the average precision of this model for stage recognition reached 0.603, which exceeded that of the medical personnel involved in the comparative evaluation, including an enterostomal therapist. Conclusion: In this study, the deep learning–based PI staging system achieved the evaluation performance of a nurse with professional training in wound care. This low-cost system could help overcome the difficulty of identifying PIs by junior and non-specialist nurses, and provide valuable auxiliary clinical information.
A rare presentation of Rosai–Dorfman–Destombes disease with central nervous system involvement and cutaneous wounds
Authors: Workman Lauren , Fang Lauren , Ayoub Samar , Bach Karen , Simman Richard 
Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this case report is to investigate an uncommon presentation of Rosai–Dorfman–Destombes (RDD) disease, and discuss possible differential diagnoses and treatment options for this pathology. RDD is a rare disorder of histiocytes that typically presents in patients as painless cervical lymphadenopathy. However, this case involves a patient with the central nervous system (CNS) type of RDD who later developed cutaneous lesions. Method: Several differential diagnoses were examined, including hidradenitis suppurativa, pilonidal cyst and pressure ulcers. It is important to be able to exclude these diagnoses based on the presentation, patient demographic and wound location. Results: Biopsies verified the presence of RDD in the patient's suprasellar hypothalamic mass and skin lesions, confirming the patient had both CNS-RDD and cutaneous-RDD in the absence of lymphadenopathy. Conclusion: Recognising the unique manifestations of rare diseases such as RDD prevents delay of proper intervention and treatment.
Previously undiagnosed Morgagni hernia with bowel perforation detected during repeat screening colonoscopy: A case report
Authors: Al Alawi Said , Barkun Alan N , Najmeh Sara 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
Morgagni hernia (MH) is a form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) characterized by an incomplete formation of diaphragm, resulting in the protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. The estimated incidence of CDH is between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 5000 live births, although the true incidence is unknown. MH typically presents in childhood and can be diagnosed either prenatally or postnatally. However, it can also be asymptomatic and carry the risk of developing into a life-threatening condition in adulthood.
CASE SUMMARY
A 76-year-old female with no history of prior abdominal surgeries presented for an elective colonoscopy for polyp surveillance. During the procedure, when approaching the hepatic flexure, the scope could not be advanced further despite multiple attempts. The patient experienced mild abdominal discomfort, leading to the abortion of the procedure. While in the recovery area, she developed increasing abdominal pains and hypotension. Urgent abdominal imaging revealed herniation of the proximal transverse colon through a MH into the chest with evidence of perforation. The patient underwent laparoscopic urgent colonic resection and primary hernia repair and was discharged uneventfully 2 d later.
CONCLUSION
A MH is a rare condition in adults that can present as a life-threatening complication of colonoscopy, even in patients with a history of uneventful colonoscopies. This case highlights the importance of considering congenital and internal hernias when faced with sudden and unexplained difficulties during colonoscopy. If there is a suspicion of MH, the endoscopist should halt the procedure and immediately obtain abdominal imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
Coexistence of liver abscess, hepatic cystic echinococcosis and hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report
Authors: Hu Ya-Wen , Zhao Yi-Lin , Yan Jing-Xin , Ma Cun-Kai 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
Human cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a life-threatening zoonosis caused by the Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. The coexistence of CE and HCC is exceedingly rare, and only several well-documented cases have been reported. In addition to this coexistence, there is no report of the coexistence of CE, HCC, and liver abscess to date. Herein, we aimed to report a case of coexistence of liver abscess, hepatic CE, and HCC.
CASE SUMMARY
A 65-year-old herdsman presented to the department of interventional therapy with jaundice, right upper abdominal distension and pain for 10 d. Laboratory test showed that he had positive results for HBsAg, HBeAb, HBcAb, and echinococcosis IgG antibody. The test also showed an increased level of alpha fetoprotein of 3400 ng/mL. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an uneven enhanced lesion of the liver at the arterial phase with enhancement and was located S4/8 segment of the liver. In addition, CT scan also revealed a mass in the S6 segment of the liver with a thick calcified wall and according to current guideline and medical images, the diagnoses of hepatic CE (CE4 subtype) and HCC were established. Initially, transarterial chemoembolization was performed for HCC. In the follow-up, liver abscess occurred in addition to CE and HCC; thus, percutaneous liver puncture drainage was performed. In the next follow-up, CE and HCC were stable. The liver abscess was completely resolved, and the patient was discharged with no evidence of recurrence.
CONCLUSION
This is the first reported case on the coexistence of liver abscess, hepatic CE, and HCC. Individualized treatment and multidisciplinary discussions should be performed in this setting. Therefore, treatment and diagnosis should be based on the characteristics of liver abscess, hepatic CE, and HCC, and in future clinical work, it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of this complex composition of liver diseases.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
A Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia that often develops in the neonatal period. BH typically occurs on the left side of the diaphragm. A right-sided BH in an adult is rare.
CASE SUMMARY
A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow seen on chest radiography during a medical check-up. A chest radiograph showed elevation of the right hemidiaphragm. Computed tomography showed prolapse of multiple intraabdominal organs into the right thoracic cavity, corresponding to a right-sided BH. The herniated contents included the stomach, transverse colon, and left lobe of the liver. The left lobe of the liver was enlarged, particularly the medial segment. Laparoscopic surgery was performed. However, the left lobe of the liver was completely trapped in the thoracic cavity. Therefore, thoracoscopic manipulation had to be performed to return the liver to the abdominal cavity. The hernia was repaired with interrupted nonabsorbable sutures and reinforced with mesh.
CONCLUSION
Combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery was successfully performed for right-sided BH with massive liver prolapse and abnormal liver morphology.

Ao final da pesquisa são apresentados três pressupostos básicos que abordam as estratégias de desinformação do agronegócio em oposição aos princípios do Manifesto de Davos e às metas da Agenda ONU 2030.
Auxiliary management and control channel aided crosstalk online monitoring in multi-core fibers
Authors: Zhuang Wen , Tan Zhongwei , Bo Tianwai , Zhao Xuesong , Dong Yi 
Published: April 2024

As a stochastic perturbation, the inter-core crosstalk (IC-XT) severely distorts the signal in multi-core fibers (MCF), especially for long-haul transmission. How to quickly measure and monitor the IC-XT online for an MCF-based space division multiplexing (SDM) system is of special importance. In this paper, we introduce the technology of auxiliary management and control channel (AMCC) to online monitor the IC-XT of MCF, in which the unique advantage of low-frequency auxiliary management and control signal is fully utilized with the limited influence on high-speed data transmission. Specifically, two orthogonal sequences are chosen as monitoring signals for the signal-channel core and the crosstalk-channel core, respectively, followed by digital signal processing (DSP) for the received signal to evaluate the real-time crosstalk accurately. The experimental verifications of XT online monitoring confirm the effectiveness of our proposed method with very small monitoring error (mostly < 0.5 dB) for both heterodyne XT and homodyne XT in the C and L bands, showing its great potential for future SDM systems.
