Published: December 2023

The menace of domestic violence has continued to shake many marriages in Nigeria with attendance consequences on the couples, children and society. Studies have examined factors predicting domestic violence with contradicting results. Therefore, this study examined spousal communication and socio-demographic predictors of domestic violence among married couples. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select three communities in Ketu Local Government Area in Lagos State. Data were collected from 250 participants using validated questionnaires. Data collected were analysed to test two hypotheses. The result showed significant relationship between spousal communication, income level and domestic violence. Also, the result indicated that spousal communication and income level jointly predicted domestic violence. Furthermore, spousal communication, income level, number of children and length of years in marriage independently predicted domestic violence. The study concluded that spousal communication and socio-demographic variables were strong predictors of domestic violence. It is recommended that married couples should create quality time for communication among themselves

KEY WORDS:
domestic violence; income level; spousal communication

Engineering of heat sources in laser precision machining
Authors: Kotlyarov Valery 
Published: December 2023

Requirement towards the enhancement of the results of technological operations of laser processing, their transformation into precise technological operations is solved, in general, by the choice of optimal technological schemes of laser processing and characteristics of a tool that is formed from laser beam characteristics. The main goal of these attempts is to minimize portions of energy that destroys and removes the material from the cavity of element being formed utilizing ultra-short pulses of electro-magnetic energy with high intensity that can bring balance to the instability of technological process, manage it outcome and maintain the quality of processing.
On the other hand, it leads to a decrease in the efficiency of technological operations of laser processing. For example, linear speed of laser cutting of stent with nanosecond pulses are used is within the range of 25 to 30 millimeters per minute, whereas in the case of microsecond pulses - the processing speed can reach up to 250 mm/min and slight striation of side surface of the cutting kerf could be eliminated by means of post processing. Since the process of material destruction at laser beam processing is of a thermal nature in terms of heat dissipation and its propagation into the body of the work piece (especially the metal one), it is possible to control and modify the absorption of radiation by the surface of the work piece, the spatial shape of the heat source and thermal an physical properties of the work piece. This paper discusses perspective solutions for the successful engineering of laser beam irradiation process.

Published: December 2023

The work is touched to the design methods of the complex technical objects. The reason of the objects complication is the requirement of the dynamical processes coordination because the planed characteristics are needed. The main design stages idea – circuit diagram – simulation – structure are considered. The means of the design stages information representing of traditional approach are the relatively commonly and not consistent. It leads to design time increasing. In this work to structure the design information, coordinate the means of the different stage information representation with each others and detail design process are proposed. To do it the common information space of knowledge of the subject aria are separated on the streams. The streams represent information about the content, uniting, activities and requirements. The design process is represented as the transactions chain. Each transaction is based on the named streams and successively forms the state of the resulting functional stream. These states reflect the readiness levels of the designed object. Due to this way of means representation and detailing of information the coordination between different stages was provided. There are the possibilities to check the stage correctness executing also. As result the iteration reducing and time consumption of the design process are reached. The design process is illustrated by the example.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study explored the effects of SET domain-containing protein (SETD)4, a histone lysine methyltransferase, on the general biological functions of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). BMMs from SETD4 knockout (KO) mice exhibited significant inhibition of monomethylation, dimethylation or trimethylation of histones H3K4, H3K36, H3K79 and H4K20; significant enhancement of the proliferation, EdU-positive cell ratio, Ki67 mRNA levels, and ability to form vascular structures; and attenuation of cell migration ability. After induction by lipopolysaccharide + interferon-γ or interleukin (IL)-4, a majority of the markers that were tested, including pro-inflammatory IL1β, IL6, iNOS and TNF-α and anti-inflammatory Fizz-1, Arginase 1 and Mannose receptor C-type 1 were all downregulated, while TGF-β1 was upregulated. The phosphorylation pathway profiling arrays focused on the MAPK, AKT, JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and TGF-β1 signaling pathways were performed, and the results revealed 32 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), six that were upregulated and 26 that were downregulated in BMMs from SETD4KO mice versus wild type mice. These DEPs were involved in 1365 terms from the GO and 137 signals from the KEGG database. Inhibition of the most significantly upregulated protein EGFR(Ser1070), by CI-1033, an inhibitor for pan EGFR significantly reduced p-EGFR(Ser1070), and was accompanied by a decrease in the cell viability of BMMs, particularly in the SETD4 KO cells. This is the first study to implicate the involvement of SETD4-mediated EGFR signaling in the proliferation of BMMs. SETD4 mediates the methylation of multiple histone lysine sites in BMMs, in turn affecting cell biology.

Abstract
With the advent of the Web 3.0 era, the number and types of data in the network have sharply increased, and the application scenarios of recommendation algorithms have also been expanded to a certain extent. Location recommendation has gradually become one of the popular application scenarios in recommendation algorithms. Traditional recommendation algorithms not only ignore the time attribute of data when recommending information to users, but also blindly pursue the recommendation accuracy, which will cause certain "information cocoon room" problems. Therefore, this article treats user historical data as a time series and proposes a LSTM-DNN model based on the bidirectional DTW algorithm. Firstly, in response to the issue of different users consuming different amounts of information, this article proposes a bidirectional DTW algorithm to calculate the similarities between different users. Secondly, this article supplements the user dataset from three perspectives: "utilization" of information, "exploration", and spatiotemporal attributes of data, which alleviates the problem of data sparsity and cold start in the dataset to a certain extent. Moreover, it effectively enhances the diversity of recommendation results. Finally, this paper constructs a LSTM-DNN neural network to dynamically obtain user interests and preferences, and proposes a new metric CSSD to measure the diversity of algorithm recommendation results. Experiments have shown that the model effectively enhances the diversity of recommendation results while ensuring recommendation accuracy.
Integrity Validation of Railway Level Crossing Using Collision Risk Assessment
Authors: Grewal Raj , Kumar Lalit , Pandey Babita , Kumar Aditya 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Level crossing is identified as a critical and weak point in rail infrastructure. The safety of railway crossing operation is mainly ensured by interlocking which controls (maintain) the sets and locks of train route. However, the error in this process leads to failing to maintain the integrity of the system which will break safety. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the integrity (i.e., collision-free operations) of the interlocking mechanism, which is being done by the railway interlock control system. To ensure the integrity of this system, this work proposed a novel mechanism to ensure the correctness of the tasks (i.e., collision-free operations) performed by this control system. The effectiveness of the mechanism is validated on the railway interlocking system. This analysis helps to provide a solution to diminish the risk incurred.

Abstract
• Background:
Multimorbid and frail elderly patients often carry a high burden of treatment. Hospitalization due to the onset of an acute illness can disrupt the fragile balance, resulting in further readmissions after hospital discharge. Current models of care in Germany do not meet the needs of this patient group. Rather lack of coordination and integration of care combined with a lack of interdisciplinary approaches result in fragmented and inadequate care and increase the burden of treatment even more.
• Methods:
eliPfad is a randomized controlled trial conducted in 6 hospitals in Germany. Multimorbid elderly patients aged 65 or older are randomly assigned to the intervention or intervention group. Patients in the intervention group receive the eliPfad intervention additional to standard care. The core components of eliPfad are:
• Early assessment of patients’ individual treatment burden and support through a specially trained case manager
• Involvement of the patient's general practitioner (GP) right from the beginning of the hospital stay
• Preparation of an individual, cross-sectoral treatment plan through the interdisciplinary hospital team with the involvement of the patient’s GP
• Establishment of a cross-sectoral electronic patient record (e-ePA) for documentation and cross-sectoral exchange
• Support/Promote patient adherence
• Tailored early rehabilitation during the hospital stay, which is continued at home
• Close-tele-monitoring of medically meaningful vital parameters through the use of tablets, digital devices, and personal contacts in the home environment
The intervention period begins in the hospital and continues 6 weeks after discharge. Patients in the control group will be treated according to standard clinical care and discharged according to current discharge management. The primary aim is the prevention/reduction of readmissions in the first 6 months after discharge. In addition, the impact on health-related quality of life, the burden of treatment, survival, self-management, medication prescription, health literacy, patient-centered care, cost-effectiveness, and process evaluation will be examined.
Discussion:
If eliPfad leads to fewer readmissions, proves (cost-)effective, and lowers the treatment burden, it should be introduced as a new standard of care in the German healthcare system.
Trial registration:
The trial was registered in the German Clinical Trials Registry (Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien (DRKS)) on 08/14/2023 under the ID DRKS00031500 (http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN12345678).
Green synthesis of hollow and spiny gold and silver bimetallic nanotubes for catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol
Authors: Ma Yuanqing , Ou Quanhong , Tang Junqi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Due to the small size of the hollow and spiny gold and silver (Au-Ag) bimetallic nanotubes and their special structure with high aspect ratio, large specific surface area, and quantum size effect, they show great potential for applications in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), catalysis, sensors, optoelectronics and biomedicine. Therefore, it is essential to synthesize Au-Ag bimetallic nanotubes with multispike-like shape and apply them in the field of catalysis. In the present study, silver nanowires were used as sacrificial templates, Galvanic replacement reaction was carried out in chlorauric acid solution in the presence of PVP, and hollow and spiny Au-Ag bimetallic nanotubes (HS AuAgNTs) were prepared. It was shown that the reaction time and the amount of chloroauric acid had a significant effect on the morphology and size of the nanotubes. The rapid catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (4- nitrophenol, 4-NP) to p-aminophenol (4-aminophenol, 4-AP) using HS AuAgNTs as catalysts in the presence of excess sodium borohydride suggests that the HS AuAgNTs have a promising potential for catalytic applications.

Abstract
Background: Migraine is a neurological disorder exhibiting a cyclic pattern of clinical manifestations. Although both structural and functional brain changes have been reported in comparison with healthy controls, it is not clear to what extent these vary across the migraine cycle. Here, we present a longitudinal study of menstrual migraine using diffusion MRI (dMRI) to investigate changes in white matter (WM) microstructure through the different phases of the pain cycle.
Methods: Multi-shell dMRI data was acquired in 14 patients with low-frequency episodic menstrual migraine without aura, in the preictal, ictal, postictal and interictal phases, and 15 healthy controls in matching phases of the menstrual cycle. Following data pre-processing, maps of the diffusion parameters fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), mean kurtosis (MK), axial kurtosis (AK) and radial kurtosis (RK) were obtained and compared across groups in each phase of the cycle. Subsequently, we conducted a region-of-interest analysis to determine whether changes in the diffusion parameters of specific WM tracts in patients, compared to controls, varied across different phases of the migraine cycle.
Results: Patients showed a pronounced reduction in AD relative to controls across various brain regions, with weaker reductions also found in FA and MD, and increases found in MK and AK, mostly in the interictal but also in the ictal phases. Interestingly, AD and FA changes relative to controls varied across the migraine cycle in specific WM tracts. Specifically, the AD reduction observed interictally returned to baseline levels (comparable to those of the control group) during peri-ictal phases in the uncinate fasciculus, anterior corona radiata, posterior thalamic radiations, superior longitudinal fasciculus and cingulum tracts. In contrast, the body of the corpus callosum and posterior limb of the internal capsule tracts exhibited normal FA in the interictal phase, but this parameter decreased in the ictal phase.
Conclusions: This is the first study documenting transient and fast variations in diffusion parameters of specific WM tracts across the migraine cycle. Microstructural changes in the brain of female migraine patients in different phases of the migraine cycle occur which cannot be explained by their hormonal status.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Higher salinity affects 20% of farmed land and 33% of irrigated land area globally. These affect causes food crises worldwide. Humic acid provide protection against stress and promote the plant growth and productivity. Therefore, this study focuses on dose response relationship between exogenous applied humic acid and salt stress on Mung (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars. Resultants the application of humic acid under salt stress improved the plant growth and yield of selected cultivars. The higher salinity (100 ppm) caused higher effect on both selected cultivars than 50ppm salt as compared to control plants. While applied protectants 40%HA with 50 ppm salt is more effective than 40% HA with 100ppm salt in both selected cultivars. Based on biomass and yield reduction Pusa Baisakhi is least sensitive to salt than ML-131. Study also concise that salt stress depends on growth stages of plant and higher biomass reduced at 20 DAS in cultivar Pusa Baisakhi (-11.15%) and at 40 DAS in cultivar ML-131 (-25.62%). The higher production of yield due to application of humic acid was seen (65.95%) in cultivar ML-131 than cultivar Pusa Baisakhi (8.54%). Therefore the study promoted that under salt stress conditions humic acid uses as a protectant and cultivar Pusa Baisakhi as a tolerance species will be useful tool for sustainable agriculture.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze pressure injury images and predict hazard rates using deep learning. It offers a fresh perspective in an underexplored area within pressure injury research.
Methods: This study included 958 patients, and pressure injury images were obtained at the first visit. To use meaningful image features, pre-trained models were employed during the feature ex-traction phase. In the survival prediction phase, these image features were used as inputs for two deep learning-based survival analysis models (DeepSurv, PC-Hazard) and two statistics-based sur-vival analysis models (CoxPH, Piecewise Exponential).
Results: Using the Concordance index to assess survival model performances, we found that the deep learning-based survival analysis models outperformed the statistics-based survival analysis models. Notably, the 'ResNet50 + PC-Hazard' model scored the highest at 0.7636.
Conclusion: We confirmed that the deep learning-based survival analysis models performed better in most cases. This indicates that pressure injury images could act as biomarkers, reinforcing the need for more extensive research.
Hazardous elements in road dust from petrol stations in Rzeszów (Poland) as markers of traffic-related pollution? Application of FP-XRF spectrometry as ‘white analytical technique’ for environmental assessment of hazardous elements in road dust
Authors: Frydrych Adrian , Jurowski Kamil 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Samples of road dust from petrol stations (n= 20) located in Rzeszów (Podkarpackie, Poland) were analyzed for the finding of potential markers of traffic-related pollution. Level (μg/g) of Mo, U, As, Hg, Th, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, Be, Sr, Zr, Zn, Mn, and Fe was measured using field portable X-ray spectroscopy (FP-XRF) as ‘white analytical technique’. Our research demonstrated for the first time the utility of using PF-XRF for environmental toxicological assessment of road dust at petrol stations. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the tested dust samples provides valuable research material for creating and updating regulations and finding pollution hotspots such as petrol stations. It was possible to find potential markers of traffic-related pollution (e.g., Zr and Fe form of disk brakes or brake pads). Certain elements of the study give ambiguous signals related to fuel distribution and road traffic. They can come from various sources of environmental contamination. The adoption of evidence-based policies to minimize pollution, conserve the environment, and protect the well-being of people living or working near gas stations is anticipated to be aided by these findings for policymakers, regulatory authorities, and stakeholders. The assessment of elemental health risk involved the computation of doses for both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic metals, as well as the calculation of lifetime average daily doses, or LADD.
