Authors: Yokomura Kuniharu 
Published: December 2023

For two integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], a [Formula: see text]-partite graph is said to be a semi-balanced [Formula: see text]-partite graph if each partite set has either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] vertices. We give some degree conditions for semi-balanced [Formula: see text]-partite graphs to be Hamiltonian and almost pancyclic, respectively. Furthermore, using these results, we obtain the degree conditions for a balanced [Formula: see text]-partite graph to be vertex bipancyclic if [Formula: see text] is even, and vertex [Formula: see text]-pancyclic if [Formula: see text] is odd.

Published: December 2023

For a graph [Formula: see text] with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denotes the subdivision graph of [Formula: see text] with vertex set [Formula: see text]. In [Formula: see text], replace each vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], by [Formula: see text] vertices and join every vertex to the neighbors of [Formula: see text]. Then in the resulting graph, replace each vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], by [Formula: see text] vertices and join every vertex to the neighbors of [Formula: see text]. The resulting graph is denoted by [Formula: see text]. This generalizes the construction of the subdivision graph [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we provide the complete information about the spectrum of [Formula: see text] using the spectrum of [Formula: see text]. Further, we determine the Laplacian spectrum of [Formula: see text] using the Laplacian spectrum of [Formula: see text], when [Formula: see text] is a regular graph. Also, we find the Laplacian spectrum of [Formula: see text] using the Laplacian spectrum of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. The energy of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of [Formula: see text]. The incidence energy of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of the square roots of the signless Laplacian eigenvalues of [Formula: see text]. Finally, as an application, we show that the energy of the graph [Formula: see text] is completely determined by the incidence energy of the graph [Formula: see text].

Published: December 2023

A novel crystal benzophenone’s nonlinear optical applications are pivotal. Benzophenone is one of the promising organic nonlinear optics materials for their high energy laser photonic application. It has already been possible to generate crystals of benzophenone in various ways. In this research, the slow evaporation method at room temperature was successful in making a single crystal of benzophenone. In this paper, synthesis, growth, characterization and applications of low melting organic nonlinear optics benzophenone crystal in order to improve their structural and physical properties are reported. Different characterization methods were applied to the grown crystals. The lattice parameters of the grown material were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) study. The results of the single crystal XRD analysis showed that the produced crystals are a component of an orthorhombic system with the space group P212121 and the lattice parameters are [Formula: see text] Å, [Formula: see text] Å, [Formula: see text] Å, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] Å3. Ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) spectrum indicates that the crystal is transparent (72%) in the entire visible region with a cutoff wavelength of 258[Formula: see text]nm. The transparency of the grown crystals has been confirmed using the UV–Vis spectrum. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the grown crystal was measured using an Nd-YAG laser and it was found to be 1.8 greater than potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP). The FT-IR spectrum was examined in order to identify the many functional groups. The formation of the material was confirmed qualitatively by FT Raman spectral analyses. Mechanical properties such as Vicker’s microhardness number, Yield strength, Fracture toughness, Brittleness index and Elastic stiffness constant values were determined using Vicker’s microhardness test. The thermal stability of the grown crystal was studied by thermal analysis.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to investigate elements associated with consumer behavior towards the demand for halal logistics, namely concern about halal (COHA), knowledge of halal (KNHA), awareness of halal logistics (AWHL), and perceptions of halal logistics (PEHL). This research applied a quantitative methodology that gathered primary data from Muslim consumers residing in Brunei Darussalam. Data were collected using an online self-administrated survey questionnaire, and regression and correlation analyses were tested to investigate the proposed hypotheses. The result demonstrates that COHA, KNHA, AWHL, and PEHL constructs significantly influence demand for halal logistics (DEHL). All four elements show a medium to strong positive correlation with the dependent variable, inferring that the independent variables and the DEHL construct are closely related or associated — suggesting that an increase in the independent variables will increase DEHL and vice versa. This research does not fully represent the general consumers in Brunei markets as this research solely focuses on Muslims. Future research on non-Muslim consumers might be an option to give a bigger picture of the need for halal logistics in Brunei Darussalam. This study is beneficial to relevant stakeholders such as halal businesses, logistics service providers (LSP), policymakers, and consumers to reconsider the extent of halal logistics in not only safeguarding halal integrity across the logistics chain but also its significance in shaping continuous and viable demands in the pursuit of competitive advantage. This paper is among the first attempts to investigate Muslim consumer demand for halal logistics in Brunei, considering that past research focused heavily on Malaysian and Indonesian markets. This paper could contribute to future theoretical and empirical studies and suggest practical initiatives towards relevant stakeholders.
Direct Application of Coffee Pulp Vermicompost Produced from Epigeic Earthworms and Its Residual Effect on Vegetative and Reproductive Growth of Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: Zergaw Yohannes , Kebede Temesgen , Berhe Dargie Tsegay 
Published: December 2023

In areas where coffee is growing, there is a huge potential to get coffee pulp, which produces a bad odor and air and water pollution. On the other hand, the farming practice in the study area is still traditional and highly dependent on artificial fertilizers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the direct and residual effects of vermicompost on the vegetative and reproductive growth of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Factorial research was conducted in a randomized complete block design, where coffee pulp, animal waste, and Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta earthworms were used to produce coffee pulp vermicompost. The first factor was three types of vermicompost: coffee pulp Eisenia fetida vermicompost (CEV), coffee pulp Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost (CDV), and a combination of coffee pulp Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost (CEV_CDV), and the second factor was three application rates (5 t/ha, 10 t/ha, and 15 t/ha) and a control treatment with three replications. Reproductive and vegetative growth parameters (number of leaves, number of fruits, single fruit length, total biomass weight, days to 50% flowering, and yield per hectare) were collected in two consecutive cropping seasons. The collected data were analyzed using R Statistical software. The results recorded in the direct application of 15 t/ha CEV were profoundly higher (

P

< 0.05), followed by the combined effects of both worms with an application rate of 15 t/ha. Generally, the three-way interaction effect of a media type, the application effect, and the application rate interaction effect were highly significant (

P

< 0.05) for the number of leaves per plant, the number of fruits per plant, and yield per hectare. The media type and the application rate interaction effect showed a significant (

P

< 0.05) difference in days to 50% flowering, fruit length, and fresh biomass weight. Likewise, the combined effect of the media type and application was statistically (

P

< 0.01) different in biomass weight and fruit length. In addition to reducing water and air pollution, utilizing coffee pulp vermicompost enhances soil fertility and hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) productivity.
Abstract 11749: Identifying Infants With Long QT Syndrome Type 1: Looking Beyond the QTc
Authors: Przybylski Robert , Hylind Robyn , Noon Jennifer , Dewitt Elizabeth S , Bezzerides Vassilios J , Abrams Dominic J , Ashouri Judy 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Abnormal repolarization in long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) is characterized by QT prolongation and abnormal T-waves. In the absence of familial disease, LQT1 is easily missed in infants as the QTc is often normal, exposing children to life-threatening arrhythmia.

Hypothesis:
T-wave morphology metrics are superior to QTc for diagnosis of LQT1.

Aim:
Compare quantifiable aspects of T-wave morphology and QTc to differentiate infants with and without LQT1.

Methods:
Infants aged 0.5-6 months with a pathogenic/likely pathogenic
KCNQ1
variant were compared to age/sex-matched controls in a 1:2 ratio. Measurements were made in leads II/V5. T-wave morphology was assessed by J-point to T-wave peak (J-Tp) and Tp to T-wave end (Tp-Te). Bazett’s formula was used to correct for heart rate and Te defined using the tangent method.

Results:
We identified 34 LQT1 infants and 68 controls. The median (IQR) QTc was 457 (430-476) ms for LQT1 cases and 402 (392-420) ms for controls (p<0.001). The 98%tile QTc for controls was 448 ms and 13/34 (38%) LQT1 cases were below this value.

In lead II, LQT1 cases had a significantly longer rate corrected J-Tp compared to controls, 294 (272-312) ms v. 222 (211-234) ms (p <0.001) and shorter Tp-Te, 71 (60-80) ms v. 85 (75-95) ms (p<0.001). The J-Tp/Tp-Te ratio was 0.25 in LQT1 cases and 0.39 in controls (p<0.001). Findings were similar in V5.
V5 rate corrected J-Tp best discriminated between LQT1 cases and controls (ROC AUC 0.99, optimal cut point ≥256ms) and outperformed QTc (AUC 0.92). This remained true in those with QTc <98%tile (AUC 0.98).
Measurements in a subset of 30 infants made by 3 ECG readers showed superior reliability for J-Tp in leads II and V5 (ICC coefficient 0.92) compared to QTc (0.88).

Conclusions:
Nearly 40% of infants with LQT1 have a normal a QTc, yet a significantly abnormal and quantifiable T-wave morphology. J-Tp and Tp-Te are reliable and reproducible measurements and should be included in the assessment of potential infantile LQT1.
Abstract 13633: Modern Treatment Patterns in Incident Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Patients: Real-World Data From the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) Registry
Authors: Paoli Carly J , Kime Noah , Williams Kayleen , Gomez-Rendon Gabriela , Tonelli Adriano , Cajigas Hector , Mathai Stephen , Khan Sarah L , Sahay Sandeep 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
New 2022 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society PAH guidelines recommend treatment guided by a multi-parameter risk assessment.
1
Patients with low/intermediate risk without cardiopulmonary comorbidities should start dual PAH combination therapy; those with cardiopulmonary comorbidities should be reassessed early for rapid escalation to dual therapy. Initial triple therapy is recommended for high-risk patients. We examined use of dual and triple PAH therapy in the US (before guideline update).

Methods:
We used the Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR), a prospective US registry of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients, enrolled within 6 months of their first outpatient visit at one of 54 participating PH care centers in the US, between Sep 2015-Jun 2022. We included adults (≥18 years at enrollment) with incident PAH (newly diagnosed and treated within 6 months of enrollment) and ≥1 follow-up clinic visit post baseline visit. Chronic thromboembolic PH patients were excluded.

Results:
We analyzed (descriptive statistics) 794 incident patients (baseline characteristics in Table 1). Treatment patterns at baseline (n=794)/last follow-up visit (n=610) were 289 (36.4%)/102 (16.7%) on monotherapy, 419 (52.8%)/314 (51.5%) on dual combination, 83 (10.5%)/179 (29.3%) on triple combination therapy, respectively. Mean time from enrollment to dual and triple combination therapy was 86.1 (standard deviation [SD]: 209.0) and 346.1 days (SD: 430.8), respectively.

Conclusions:
Among incident PHAR patients, half received initial dual and 10% triple upfront combination therapy. At last follow-up, most (>80%) patients had escalated to dual/triple combination therapies.

Clinical Implications:
At PH care centers, most incident PHAR patients are escalated to dual and triple therapy (at last follow-up) per current guidelines.

INTRODUCTION:
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), ventricular arrhythmia associates with severity of LVH and scar, and presence vs absence of a sarcomeric gene mutation (G+LVH+ vs G-LVH+). Also, ECG changes in subclinical HCM (G+LVH-) signal increased risk of phenotype progression.

HYPOTHESES:
ECG Imaging (ECGI) can detect: i) subtle electrophysiological (EP) abnormalities in subclinical HCM (pre-LVH). ii) EP abnormalities related to genetic status (G+ vs G-LVH+) and structural changes (late gadolinium enhancement [LGE], max. wall thickness [MWT]) in overt disease.

METHODS:
200 participant multicenter study: 70 G+LVH-, 51 G+LVH+, 53 G-LVH+ and 26 healthy volunteers (HV) underwent 12-lead ECG (to detect abnormal Q-waves, repolarization changes, LVH criteria) and CMR-ECGI computing epicardial unipolar electrograms (UEGs) to derive: activation time (AT), activation-recovery intervals (ARIc), spatial gradients (activation: G
AT
, repolarisation: G
RT
) and fractionation.

RESULTS:
Compared to HV, G+LVH- had prolongation of AT (40.3±7.3 vs 35.4±6.1 ms p=0.003) and steeper G
RT
(mean: 1.12±0.27 vs 1.00±0.23 ms/mm p=0.042, max: 11.7±2.8 vs 10.0±1.9 ms/mm p=0.005). AT was prolonged even in G+LVH- with a normal 12-lead ECG (p<0.004).

Compared to G+LVH-, G+LVH+ had similar AT but a more prolonged ARIc (275±29 vs 245±26 ms p<0.001).
Compared to G-LVH+, G+LVH+ had similar MWT and LGE, but more signal fractionation (0.02±0.02 vs 0.01±0.03% UEGs with ≥2 deflections p=0.002).

In overt HCM (all LVH+), MWT associated with AT (
r
s 0.25 p=0.011) while LGE burden associated with G
AT
(
r
s=0.27 p=0.006) and fractionation (
r
s=0.22 p=0.025).

CONCLUSION:
Cardiac activation prolongation and repolarization abnormalities occur in subclinical HCM (before hypertrophy). Activation is prolonged even in subclinical HCM with normal 12-lead ECG. In overt HCM, ECGI abnormalities track adverse structural changes and reveal greater fractionation in those with a sarcomeric mutation.
UG-schematic Annotation for Event Nominals: A Case Study in Mandarin
Chinese

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Divergence of languages observed at the surface level is a major challenge encountered by multilingual data representation, especially when typologically distant languages are involved. Drawing inspiration from a formalist Chomskyan perspective towards language universals, Universal Grammar (UG), this article uses deductively pre-defined universals to analyze a multilingually heterogeneous phenomenon, event nominals. In this way, deeper universality of event nominals beneath their huge divergence in different languages is uncovered, which empowers us to break barriers between languages and thus extend insights from some synthetic languages to a non-inflectional language, Mandarin Chinese. Our empirical investigation also demonstrates this UG-inspired schema is effective: With its assistance, the inter-annotator agreement (IAA) for identifying event nominals in Mandarin grows from 88.02% to 94.99%, and automatic detection of event-reading nominalizations on the newly-established data achieves an accuracy of 94.76% and an F1 score of 91.3%, which significantly surpass those achieved on the pre-existing resource by 9.8% and 5.2%, respectively. Our systematic analysis also sheds light on nominal semantic role labeling. By providing a clear definition and classification on arguments of event nominal, the IAA of this task significantly increases from 90.46% to 98.04%.
Classification and quantification of timestamp data quality issues and its impact on data quality outcome
Authors: Ambe Rex 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Timestamps play a key role in process mining because it determines the chronology of which events occurred and subsequently how they are ordered in process modelling. The timestamp in process mining gives an insight on process performance, conformance, and modelling. This therefore means problems with the timestamp will result in misrepresentations of the mined process. A few articles have been published on the quantification of data quality problems but just one of the articles at the time of this paper is based on the quantification of timestamp quality problems. This article evaluates the quality of timestamps in event log across two axes using eleven quality dimensions and four levels of potential data quality problems. The eleven data quality dimensions were obtained by doing a thorough literature review of more than fifty process mining articles which focus on quality dimensions. This evaluation resulted in twelve data quality quantification metrics and the metrics were applied to the MIMIC-III dataset as an illustration. The outcome of the timestamp quality quantification using the proposed typology enabled the user to appreciate the quality of the event log and thus makes it possible to evaluate the risk of carrying out specific data cleaning measures to improve the process mining outcome.

Authors: Bao Wei , Dong Jian , Xu Yang , Yang Yuanyuan , Qi Xiaoke 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Low-resource text plagiarism detection faces a significant challenge due to the limited availability of labeled data for training. This task requires the development of sophisticated algorithms capable of identifying similarities and differences in texts, particularly in the realm of semantic rewriting and translation-based plagiarism detection. In this paper, we present an enhanced attentive Siamese Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network designed for Tibetan-Chinese plagiarism detection. Our approach begins with the introduction of translation-based data augmentation, aimed at expanding the bilingual training dataset. Subsequently, we propose a pre-detection method leveraging abstract document vectors to enhance detection efficiency. Finally, we introduce an improved attentive Siamese LSTM network tailored for Tibetan-Chinese plagiarism detection. We conduct comprehensive experiments to showcase the effectiveness of our proposed plagiarism detection framework.
Learning in Cities from Within and Across Cities: A Scoping Review
Authors: Banerjee Pradipta , Petersen Sobah Abbas 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Cities evolve rapidly while providing both opportunities and posing challenges. To cope with the emerging behaviours of cities, contextual innovations and development are essential. Driving innovations through the learning of contextual knowledge in cities is crucial. In this study, we explore relevant studies to identify the frameworks for human-centric innovations in cities that consider learning from within and/or across cities. We analyse how learning in cities has been addressed in those studies and find that even though some aspects of learning in cities have been studied, a comprehensive framework for how cities can learn as an innovation ecosystem is missing. Based on the findings of a scoping review and insights from the theories of the Triple, Quadruple and Quintuple helices of innovation, we present a high-level conceptual model for cities as innovation ecosystems. The model is aimed to support sustainable human-centric development through the understanding of city learning through multilevel interactions and feedback.
Resistance in the City, in-between Bodies and “Dysfunctional” Languages
Authors: Akın Kaan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Based on the work of Kurdish film-maker Ali Kemal Çınar, this article investigates the intersections between Kurdish and queer cinema. It asks whether and how the notion of queer cinema might be expanded beyond Western contexts to include concerns related to ethnicity, resistance, and language. The article analyses Ali Kemal Çınar’s cinema from a queer perspective and sheds light on the way in which Çınar’s films speak to broader tendencies within queer cinema. It argues that viewing Ali Kemal Çınar’s films from a queer perspective allows us to expand the definition of Kurdish cinema and in this way build a bridge with queer cinema.

Abstract
This article presents the output of Yevgeniya Vasilyeva, one of the most outstanding Russian Kurdologists. Vasilyeva graduated from the Faculty of Oriental Studies of Leningrad State University and served from 1958 until 2016 as a researcher in the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences. She specialized in the study of Persian-language Kurdish chronicles. She translated Bidlisi’s Sharafnama into Russian, but she is best known for editing, translating and annotating several nineteenth-century chronicles of Ardalan. The historiography of the two Kurdish emirates of Ardalan and Baban became her life work, resulting in a rich monograph on the history of South-Eastern Kurdistan from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries.
