Accurate measurement method for parallel edge spacing of sheet metal parts in aviation manufacturing
Authors: Tian Jiachun , Mei Biao , Fu Yun , Zhu Weidong 
Published: May 2024

A new method, to our knowledge, is proposed to achieve high-precision measurement of parallel edge spacing for sheet metal parts in the complex industrial environment of aviation manufacturing. First, the sub-pixel edges of sheet metal parts are extracted by combining a what we believe to be a novel adaptive rolling bilateral filter and a sub-pixel edge detection algorithm based on the Canny–Steger algorithm. Then, the acquired edge data are denoised by using the clustering algorithm. Finally, a parallel line fitting algorithm, which combines an improved K-medoids algorithm with composite constraints on points and slopes, is proposed to calculate the parallel edge spacing. The results show that the method is robust to introducing noise in the edge data due to uneven illumination and various types of defects such as wear, scratches, and stains. The detection accuracy is high, with an average detection error of only 0.015 mm.

Background
Low back pain stands as a prevalent contributor to pain-related disability on a global scale. In addressing chronic low back pain (CLBP), there is a growing emphasis on incorporating psychological strategies into the management process. Among these, pain education interventions strive to reshape pain beliefs and mitigate the perceived threat of pain. This randomized controlled trial sought to assess the effects of pain education on various aspects, including pain levels, disability, quality of life, self-efficacy, and prognostic characteristics in individuals grappling with CLBP.

Methods
The clinical trial, retrospectively registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2021/08/035963), employed a two-arm parallel randomized design. Ninety-two participants with CLBP were randomly assigned to either the standard physiotherapy care with a pain education program or the control group. Both groups underwent a 6-week intervention. Assessment of pain intensity (using NPRS), disability (using RMDQ), self-efficacy (using the general self-efficacy scale), and well-being (using WHO 5I) occurred both before and after the 6-week study intervention.

Findings
Post-intervention score comparisons between the groups revealed that the pain education intervention led to a significant reduction in disability compared to the usual standard care at 6 weeks (mean difference 8.2, p < 0.001, effect size Cohen d = 0.75), a decrease in pain intensity (mean difference 3.5, p < 0.001, effect size Cohen d = 0.82), and an improvement in the well-being index (mean difference 13.7, p < 0.001, effect size Cohen d = 0.58).

Conclusion
The findings suggest that integrating a pain education program enhances the therapeutic benefits of standard physiotherapy care for individuals dealing with chronic LBP. In conclusion, the clinical benefits of pain education become apparent when delivered in conjunction with standard care physiotherapy during the management of chronic low back pain.
Identifying depression’s genetic role as a precursor to sepsis and increased mortality risk: Comprehensive insights from mendelian randomization analysis
Authors: Zhou Qingyi , Shen Qili , Chen Xiaohua , Yang Lichun , Ma Qiang , Chu Liang 
Published: May 2024

Background
Previous retrospective studies have shown a correlation between depression and increased risk of infections, including a moderate rise in sepsis likelihood associated with severe depression and anxiety. To investigate the potential causal links between depression, sepsis, and mortality risks, while considering confounding factors, we employed a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Methods
In this two-sample Mendelian randomization study, we analyzed data from a large-scale genome-wide association study on depression, involving 807,553 European individuals (246,363 cases, 561,190 controls). We extracted SNP associations with sepsis and 28-day mortality from UK Biobank GWAS outcomes. The correlation analysis primarily employed the inverse-variance weighted method, supplemented by sensitivity analyses for heterogeneity and pleiotropy assessment.

Results
Our analysis revealed a potential causal link between depression and an increased risk of sepsis (OR = 1.246, 95% CI: 1.076–1.442, P = 0.003), but no causal association was found with sepsis-induced mortality risk (OR = 1.274, 95% CI: 0.891–1.823, P = 0.184). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings.

Conclusions
We identified a potential causal association between depression and heightened sepsis risk, while no link was found with sepsis-induced mortality. These findings suggest that effective management of depression could be important in preventing sepsis.
Pattern and predictor of hookworm re-infection among schoolchildren in three districts of Amhara Region, northwest Ethiopia
Authors: Belay Shegaw , Alemu Getaneh , Hailu Tadesse 
Published: May 2024

Background
Despite integrated prevention and control measures, the prevalence of hookworm is still high in Ethiopia. The re-infection rates and predictors are poorly addressed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the patterns of hookworm re-infection rates and predictors among schoolchildren in northwest Ethiopia.

Methods
A prospective follow-up study was conducted among 86 schoolchildren from May to December 2022. Data on predictors was collected using a questionnaire. Stool samples were collected and processed via Kato-Katz, McMaster, and spontaneous tube sedimentation techniques. All hookworm-infected children were treated with albendazole and followed for six months. The re-infection rates of hookworm were checked in the 4th and 6th months. Data was entered into Epi-data version 3.1 and analysed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to compute the re-infection rate. The associations of predictors with hookworm re-infection rates were calculated by logistic regression. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results
Of the 86, 81 schoolchildren completed the study. The prevalence of hookworm re-infection in the 4th and 6th months was 23.5% and 33.3%, respectively. Living with family members greater than five (p = .017), poor utilization of latrine (p = .008), infrequent shoe wear (p = .039), and participating in irrigation (p = .020) were the predictors significantly associated with hookworm re-infections.

Conclusions
The re-infection rate was high during the fourth and sixth months. Participating in irrigation, infrequent shoe wear, and poor latrine utilization were predictors of hookworm re-infection. Therefore, mass drug administration, regular shoe wearing, and health education should be advocated.

Published: May 2024

Background
Attempts to subtype, type 2 diabetes (T2D) have mostly focused on newly diagnosed European patients. In this study, our aim was to subtype T2D in a non-white Emirati ethnic population with long-standing disease, using unsupervised soft clustering, based on etiological determinants.

Methods
The Auto Cluster model in the IBM SPSS Modeler was used to cluster data from 348 Emirati patients with long-standing T2D. Five predictor variables (fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting serum insulin (FSI), body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and age at diagnosis) were used to determine the appropriate number of clusters and their clinical characteristics. Multinomial logistic regression was used to validate clustering results.

Results
Five clusters were identified; the first four matched Ahlqvist et al subgroups: severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), mild age-related diabetes (MARD), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD), and a fifth new subtype of mild early onset diabetes (MEOD). The Modeler algorithm allows for soft assignments, in which a data point can be assigned to multiple clusters with different probabilities. There were 151 patients (43%) with membership in cluster peaks with no overlap. The remaining 197 patients (57%) showed extensive overlap between clusters at the base of distributions.

Conclusions
Despite the complex picture of long-standing T2D with comorbidities and complications, our study demonstrates the feasibility of identifying subtypes and their underlying causes. While clustering provides valuable insights into the architecture of T2D subtypes, its application to individual patient management would remain limited due to overlapping characteristics. Therefore, integrating simplified, personalized metabolic profiles with clustering holds greater promise for guiding clinical decisions than subtyping alone.

Abstract
Biocorrosion, or microbiologically influenced corrosion, is a phenomenon where microorganisms deteriorate the metals. While corrosion is generally considered undesirable due to its negative impact on the integrity and lifespan of materials, the significance of biocorrosion is a major problem because it can cause material deterioration, financial losses, and environmental issues. Conventional corrosion protection techniques frequently use chemicals, which come with risks to human health and the environment. Biosurfactants are surface tension-reducing agents with a low molecular weight that attract many researchers and industrialists due to their excellent chemical properties and stability at extreme temperatures, pH, and under alkaline conditions. These compounds reduce the surface tension of liquids, leading to improved wetting and spreading on metal surfaces. This can help to create a more uniform and protective layer, preventing the accumulation of corrosive agents. This review explores different types of biosurfactants, which include lipopeptides, glycolipids, phospholipids, etc., and how they work to prevent corrosion. The investigation of biosurfactants in corrosion protection not only addresses environmental concerns but also holds promise for innovation in the development of efficient and long-lasting corrosion mitigation strategies for a variety of metal substrates, given the growing demand for green and sustainable technolo	gies.
Assessing copula models for mixed continuous-ordinal variables
Authors: Pan Shenyi , Joe Harry 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Vine pair-copula constructions exist for a mix of continuous and ordinal variables. In some steps, this can involve estimating a bivariate copula for a pair of mixed continuous-ordinal variables. To assess the adequacy of copula fits for such a pair, diagnostic and visualization methods based on normal score plots and conditional Q–Q plots are proposed. The former uses a latent continuous variable for the ordinal variable. The methods are applied to data generated from some existing probability models for a mixed continuous-ordinal variable pair, and for such models, Kullback-Leibler divergence is used to assess whether simple parametric copula families can provide adequate fits. The effectiveness of the proposed visualization and diagnostic methods is illustrated on a dataset.
Decolonizing Through Public History – Introduction
Authors: Cauvin Thomas 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Decolonization is the subject of an abundant literature, both as a historical event and as a contemporary process. In relations with the past, debates have risen about issues such as colonial monuments, museum collections, and repatriation. Rather than dealing with a specific type of space, institution, or material, this special issue in International Public History offers a discussion on the many links between decolonization and public history. The articles explore if and to what extent public history practices can contribute to decolonizing the history production process (through decolonized sources, decolonized interpretation processes, and decolonized space of communication of history). The articles discuss what ‘public’ in ‘public history’ means: who is doing history, for whom, with whom, and for what? The self-reflective approach of public history also questions the colonial bias and processes at stake in institutions such as archives, museums, and universities. The special issue includes contributions from various countries (South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, Canada, and Japan) to foster discussions on the plurality of links between public history and decolonization in an international context that goes beyond the too-often Western oriented public history frameworks.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
It was proved by S. Mazur and S. Ulam in 1932 that every isometric surjection between normed real vector spaces is affine. We generalize the Mazur–Ulam theorem and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which distance-preserving mappings between seminormed real vector spaces are linear.
Variations of star selection principles on hyperspaces
Authors: Casas-de la Rosa Javier 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we define some combinatorial principles to characterize spaces X whose hyperspace satisfies some variation of some classical star selection principle. Specifically, the variations characterized are the selective and absolute versions of the star selection principles for the Menger and Rothberger cases; also, the hyperspaces considered in these characterizations are CL(X), 𝕂(X), 𝔽(X) and ℂ𝕊(X) in both cases, endowed with either the Fell topology or the Vietoris topology.

Published: May 2024

Background: In epilepsy management, control of seizures is the prime objective and reduction in seizure frequency is the main goal for successful treatment. There is a high prevalence of neurobehavioral problem. Hence, there is a need to screen, and intervene. Aim was to identify the neurobehavioral profile and the impact on children with epilepsy
Methods: After IRB clearance, 100 consecutive school-aged children 4-17 years with normal IQ attending epilepsy clinic were enrolled as cases, and 102 age, gender and socio-economic status-matched children without epilepsy were chosen as controls. The strength and difficulties questionnaire are administered to both groups. It addresses five domains: emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, and peer problems which contribute to the total difficulties score, and fifth dimension prosocial behaviour.
Results: Among the children with epilepsy, emotional issues were observed in 41%, conduct issues in 67%, hyperactivity behaviour in 54%, and peer problems in 64% while pro-social behaviour was only 27%, and total difficulty score was 60%, which was statistically significant with p<0.001 in all domains when compared to control. The impact of the disease was 73%, home environment was affected in 67%, classroom learning 45%, 28% in leisure activities, and 10% in friendship, which was statistically significant with p<0.001 in all domains when compared to control.
Conclusions: We have identified emotional, conduct, hyperactivity and peer problems having significant impact on children with epilepsy. Hence a screening in various behavioural domains helps in early identification and prompt intervention of neurobehavior.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare presentation as cause of neurological weakness in children and is neurological emergency. The most commonly affected site in children is cardiothoracic region. Early management is associated with better functional outcomes. We report a 5-year-old girl who presented with long standing neck pain now presenting to emergency with torticollis and right arm weakness around shoulder joint. Magnetic resonance imaging of C-spine revealed posterior epidural hematoma that extend from C3/C4 level down to C6/C7 level, it is causing moderate spinal canal stenosis and mass-effect on the spinal cord, with mild intramedullary abnormal T2 signal intensity indicating myelomalacia. There were no predisposing factors in our patient. Epidural hematoma was drained surgically and post-surgery patient started showing neurological recovery on follow. Cases of spontaneous SEH have been reported in infants as well and the clinical features in children are often nonspecific leading to a delay in diagnosis. This case report aims to raise awareness about this neurological emergency, in which early intervention is crucial.
