Keypoint regression strategy and angle loss based YOLO for object detection
Authors: Wang Xiuling , Kong Lingkun , Zhang Zhiguo , Wang Haixia , Lu Xiao 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe YOLOv4 approach has gained significant popularity in industrial object detection due to its impressive real-time processing speed and relatively favorable accuracy. However, it has been observed that YOLOv4 faces challenges in accurately detecting small objects. Its bounding box regression strategy is rigid and fails to effectively leverage the asymmetric characteristics of objects, limiting its ability to enhance object detection accuracy. This paper proposes an enhanced version of YOLOv4 called KR–AL–YOLO (keypoint regression strategy and angle loss based YOLOv4). The KR–AL–YOLO approach introduces two customized modules: an keypoint regression strategy and an angle-loss function. These modules contribute to improving the algorithm’s detection accuracy by enabling more precise localization of objects. Additionally, KR–AL–YOLO adopts an improved feature fusion technique, which facilitates enhanced information flow within the network, thereby further enhancing accuracy performance. Experimental evaluations conducted on the COCO2017 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. KR–AL–YOLO achieves an average precision of 45.6%, surpassing both YOLOv4 and certain previously developed one-stage detectors. The utilization of keypoint regression strategy and the incorporation of robust feature fusion contribute to superior object detection accuracy in KR–AL–YOLO compared to YOLOv4.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the introduction of remote work as one way to ensure employee safety and reduce the amount of interpersonal contact while continuing business operations. Knowing the degree of prevalence of remote work and its establishment are considered to be important factors in future policies and urban planning. We applied non-negative matrix factorization to population-change data obtained from a mobile phone network to extract the component of working people, and analyzed the changes pre- and post-pandemic. Using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, we confirmed that the number of people working in office and residential districts has significantly changed at a significance level of 1% in urban areas centered around Tokyo and Osaka, the two largest cities in Japan. Time-series data show that the number of workers is decreasing in office districts and increasing in residential districts, suggesting increased prevalence of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that it has become established. In addition, in urban areas centered around Tokyo, we confirmed that there is a moderate correlation between the changes in the number of people working in office districts and the capital size of corporations in the same area.
Accessibility inequality across Europe: a comparison of 15-minute pedestrian accessibility in cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants
Authors: Vale David , Lopes André Soares 
Published: November 2023

AbstractActive accessibility is a paramount objective of current sustainable urban development policies. Recently, the 15-minute city concept emphasized this framework by stressing proximity as a key urban feature. In this paper, we use two accessibility indicators—cumulative opportunities (total destinations) and Variety (number of different types of opportunities)—to evaluate pedestrian accessibility, using a 15-minute threshold, in a sample of European cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants, and measure within-city and between-city inequality, by calculating pseudo-Gini coefficients. Our results show not only that European cities are not 15-minute cities yet, but also that there is significant inequality within them, although less so in cities with high Variety. Our cross-city comparison found diminishing returns between both total destinations and population density and between Variety and density. Our findings suggest that European cities can increase pedestrian accessibility and reduce internal inequality by increasing the Variety of opportunities accessible by foot, along with improvements to pedestrian infrastructure.

AbstractThe modern world has its foundation built on data. Data is generated all the time, and many aspects of the society and economy are built upon it. In today's world, data is employed in better decision‐making, innovation, and improving the efficiency of systems. It becomes essential to protect it from being tampered with or misused. Encryptions based on cryptographic systems are used in mainstream data protection these days. There have been newer iterations of mechanisms based on new techniques using blockchain and the zero trust model and even systems that employ fog computing along with content delivery networks. The advent of computation through quantum technologies also helped in developing data security with post‐quantum mechanisms. The critical conditions for the working of these mechanisms hinder their adoption primarily. This also leads current systems to lack one or more of these technologies. Thus, the importance of a unified system that can employ quantum technologies effectively becomes prominent and requires a definitive investigation. In this article, a Quantum‐IoT‐based data protection scheme that can be of value to Industry 4.0 is analyzed. Light is also shed on innovations in quantum computing that can help solve not just current problems but also the future.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe design of three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed heterogeneous ceramics exhibiting isotropic and anisotropic dielectric permittivities at microwave frequencies is studied for dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) applications. The heterogeneous ceramics are engineered by using periodic structures made up of subwavelength unit cells filled with zirconia ceramic and air. Ceramic stereolithography (CSLA) allows the 3D printing of a one‐piece ceramic block mixing isotropic and anisotropic dielectric regions. In order to demonstrate the possibility of exploiting such 3D‐printed ceramics, a singly fed dual‐band circularly polarised DRA is presented. To achieve circular polarisation at both bands, the relative permittivity of the dielectric resonator is locally controlled by introducing anisotropic dielectric regions. The 3D‐printed DRA is finally measured, and its results agree well with the simulations.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe nucleosides are the building blocks for nucleic acids and composed of a five-carbon sugar bearing either pyrimidine or purine nucleobase. The biological properties of nucleosides can be tailored by chemically modifying the five-carbon sugar to influence its sugar pucker. The spirocyclic scaffold is an indispensable scaffold in more than ten approved drugs, and its inherent three-dimensionality makes it an ideal modification to influence the sugar pucker and biological properties of nucleosides. However, the introduction of spirocyclic scaffold is often synthetically challenging due to increase in synthetic steps and stereocenters. The present review highlights the advances in synthetic methodologies developed during the past decades for accessing various members of the spiro-functionalized nucleoside family.1	Introduction2	C-1′-Spirocyclic Nucleosides3	C-2′-Spirocyclic Nucleosides4	C-3′-Spirocyclic Nucleosides5	C-4′-Spirocyclic Nucleosides6	Miscellaneous Spirocyclic Nucleosides7	Conclusion and Future Perspectives

Authors: Kumar K.B. Dileep , Rath Padmalaya , Thakur Tushita 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background and Objectives Male infertility means a man is not able to start a pregnancy with his female partner. Infertility affects 10 to 15% of the couples globally. Male factor infertility contributes to about 20 to 30% of the cases. Low sperm concentration, poor sperm motility and abnormal sperm morphology are the main etiological factors for male infertility. For some patients, high cost of conventional treatment can be a deterrent while some fail to respond to it. Therefore, there is a need to explore the role of homoeopathy as an alternative.
Methods Five male patients with infertility were treated with homoeopathic medicine based on the totality of symptoms after consulting repertory and Materia Medica. Further studies with suitable sample size are the cases were followed up with laboratory investigations are reported according to the HOM-CASE guidelines.
Results Improvement was guaged by sperm analysis of all five men during treatment and all five cases resulted in pregnancy.
Conclusion Further studies with suitable sample size are Warranted for further validation of the results.
An Evidence-Based Case Report of Female Infertility Treated with Individualised Homoeopathic Medicine
Authors: Pandit Raj K. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Introduction Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive within 1 or more years of regular unprotected coitus. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India to be between 3.9 and 16.8%. Medical therapy includes the treatment of reversible endocrine or infectious causes of subfertility. In the medical literature, case reports of infertility are scanty. We aimed to report a case treated with homoeopathic constitutional medicine in a lady suffering from infertility.
Case summary A female patient, aged 30, married for 6 years, presented with a complaint of having no issue despite treatment of infertility for a couple of years by a reproductive endocrinologist. Subsequent investigations showed that her ovarian reserve was inadequate. She was encouraged to undergo in vitro fertilisation because her husband's semen analysis report was normal. She decided to take homoeopathic treatment and received individualised care based on the holistic tenets of homoeopathy. After 3 months of treatment with the constitutional homoeopathic drug Natrum muriaticum, she became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy boy at term. This case report demonstrates the beneficial effects of individualised homoeopathy on infertility. The Modified Naranjo Criteria score (MONARCH) showed causal attribution of changes in her condition to the homoeopathic treatment.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine if isolated fetal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is associated with an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities and to see whether or not invasive testing should be considered.
Methods We conducted a retrospective study from January 2017 to December 2021. All prenatally diagnosed cases of ARSA were reviewed and their clinical data were collected. Amniocentesis was advised after genetic counseling in every case of ARSA.
Results One hundred and thirteen patients of ARSA were diagnosed at 21.2 ± 2.4 weeks of gestational age. Eighty-eight fetuses had isolated ARSA. Eighty-three patients underwent amniocentesis. Of those, six had Down syndrome and one had Turner syndrome. Four fetuses with genetic abnormalities had no other ultrasound findings; however, the association of isolated ARSA with chromosomal abnormalities was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.998). Ten patients underwent termination of pregnancy including seven with chromosomal abnormalities and three fetuses with other structural anomalies. The mean age of postnatal follow-up was 2.2 years. Mild respiratory distress was seen in one fetus. No neonatal intensive care unit admissions were present.
Conclusion Isolated ARSA by itself does not significantly increase the risk of associated chromosomal abnormalities. The detection of fetal ARSA, however, mandates a detailed fetal ultrasound. Invasive testing can be deferred in cases of isolated ARSA. Larger prospective studies are required to see the role of cell-free DNA as an optimal alternative option.
Updates in Cleft Care
Authors: Parham Matthew J. , Simpson Arren E. , Moreno Tanir A. , Maricevich Renata S. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractCleft lip and/or palate is a congenital malformation with a wide range of presentations, and its effective treatment necessitates sustained, comprehensive care across an affected child's life. Early diagnosis, ideally through prenatal imaging or immediately postbirth, is paramount. Access to longitudinal care and long-term follow-up with a multidisciplinary approach, led by the recommendations of the American Cleft Palate Association, is the best way to ensure optimal outcomes. Multiple specialties including plastic surgery, otolaryngology, speech therapy, orthodontists, psychologists, and audiologists all may be indicated in the care of the child. Primary repair of the lip, nose, and palate are generally conducted during infancy. Postoperative care demands meticulous oversight to detect potential complications. If necessary, revisional surgeries should be performed before the child begin primary school. As the child matures, secondary procedures like alveolar bone grafting and orthognathic surgery may be requisite. The landscape of cleft care has undergone significant transformation since early surgical correction, with treatment plans now tailored to the specific type and severity of the cleft. The purpose of this text is to outline the current standards of care in children born with cleft lip and/or palate and to highlight ongoing advancements in the field.

Published: November 2023

AbstractHuman resources are widely recognized as critical factors for promoting sustainable development in organizations. However, the evolving workplace landscape and uncertainties pose significant challenges to Gen Z workers in China, leading to increased psychological distress and decreased performance. This study investigates the effects of 996 work culture, work overload, perceived career development opportunities, and perceived pay for performance on the psychological distress experienced by Chinese Gen Z workers. Using a quantitative and cross-sectional approach, we obtained 676 responses from Chinese Gen Z workers. We also utilized partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine and forecast the extent of the impact of the independent variables. The empirical findings reveal that 996 work culture and work overload indirectly influence the psychological distress of Gen Z workers in China via job burnout and job satisfaction; whereas perceived career development opportunities and perceived pay for performance indirectly influence their psychological distress via job satisfaction. Our research extends the existing literature by providing insights into the complex associations between various work-related factors (particularly 996 work culture) and psychological distress among Gen Z workers in China. Regarding policy implications, this study emphasizes the significance of considering the mental health of young employees as a crucial aspect of organizational management and suggests practical measures that organizations can adopt to ensure long-term psychological well-being and workforce engagement.
Exhibiting fashion on the heritage site: the interrelation between body, heritage space, and fashionable clothing
Authors: Lan Lan , Liu Peng 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe article examines a fashion exhibition at a heritage museum on a historic site in terms of fashion museology. Fashion museology, which has emerged from the growing phenomenon of exhibiting fashion in museums, advocates the visual representation and holistic atmosphere of the curatorial space that determines the on-site audience experience. This article focuses on how the interrelation between fashionable clothing, the bodies of the audience, and the heritage space constructs a hybrid space in which bodily movement articulates the displayed clothing. We consider the heritage space to be a performative event and explore how heritage museums can harness and make practical use of the affective interrelationship within the designed museum space in terms of the quality of the fashion exhibition experience. Museum audiences are situated in and moved around by the curated spatial environment, which is a space with cultural residuals and historical inheritance, where the bodily encounter with the displayed clothing occurs. The investigation of this interaction via case studies sheds light on the overlooked haptic experience and spatial storytelling in fashion exhibitions. The site-specific interaction at the heritage space mediates the body in multiple ways. Such curated bodily movement acts as a narration that imbues the clothing on display with meanings.

Published: November 2023

We have conceived, built, and operated a cryogenic vacuum valve with opening and closing times as short as 50 ms that can be used in strong magnetic fields and across a broad range of duty cycles. It is used to seal a cryogenic Penning trap at liquid-helium temperature for long-term storage of highly charged ions in a vacuum better than 10−15 hPa from a room-temperature ion beamline at vacuum conditions around 10−9 hPa. It will significantly improve any experiment where a volume at the most extreme vacuum conditions must be temporarily connected to a less demanding vacuum during repeated experimental cycles. We describe the design of this valve and show measurements that characterize its main features.
Effects of orthography and cognate status on second language Spanish lexical encoding
Authors: Farrell Victoria , Daidone Danielle 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study examined the accuracy of English-speaking learners of Spanish in storing L2 sounds within cognates and
noncognates, specifically in words containing 〈g〉 and 〈h〉, which have differing cross-linguistic phoneme-grapheme
correspondences. In the first task, participants heard Spanish words with target-like pronunciations of 〈g〉 and 〈h〉 or
inaccurate pronunciations with an English-like phonemic substitution for these graphemes, and they decided whether or not they
were words. The second task had participants decide between the two pronunciations of each Spanish word and select the accurate
pronunciation. The findings in both tasks showed that for L2 learners, 〈h〉 cognate words had less accurate phonological
representations compared to all other conditions, possibly due to the greater consistency in phoneme-grapheme correspondence for
〈h〉 in English. These results show that cognate status and orthographic (in)congruity interact to influence the accuracy of
L2 lexical encoding.

Nonlocal effective medium theory for phononic temporal metamaterials
Authors: Wang Neng , Feng Fanghu , Wang Guo Ping 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have developed a nonlocal effective medium theory (EMT) for phononic temporal metamaterials using the multiscale technique. Our EMT yields closed-form expressions for effective constitutive parameters and reveals these materials as reciprocal media with symmetric band dispersion. Even without spatial symmetry breaking, nonzero Willis coupling coefficients emerge with time modulation and broken time-reversal symmetry, when the nonlocal effect is taken into account. Compared to the local EMT, our nonlocal version is more accurate for calculating the bulk band at high wavenumbers and essential for understanding nonlocal effects at temporal boundaries. This nonlocal EMT can be a valuable tool for studying and designing phononic temporal metamaterials beyond the long-wavelength limit.
