Background
Throughout US history, chronic and infectious diseases have severely impacted minority communities due to a lack of accessibility to quality healthcare and accurate information, as well as underlying racism. These fault lines in the care of minority communities in the US have been further exacerbated by the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy by race and ethnicity, particularly among African American and Latinx communities in Eastern Pennsylvania (PA).

Methods
Survey data was collected in July 2021 in Philadelphia, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Hazleton, PA. The 203 participants (38.7% Black, 27.5% Latinx) completed the 28-question survey of COVID-19 vaccination attitudes in either English or Spanish.

Result
Out of the 203 participants, 181 participants met all the inclusion criteria, including completed surveys; of these participants, over three-fifths (63.5%) were acceptant of the COVID-19 vaccine whereas the remainder (36.5%) were hesitant. Binary logistic regression results showed that age, concern for vaccine efficacy, race, knowledge on the vaccine, and belief that the COVID-19 virus is serious significantly influenced COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Minorities were more likely to be hesitant toward vaccination (OR: 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1, 6.8) than non-Hispanic whites. Those who believed the COVID-19 vaccine was ineffective (OR: 8.3, 95% CI: 3.8, 18.2), and that the virus is not serious (OR: 8.3, 95% CI: 1.1, 61.8) showed the greatest odds of hesitancy.

Conclusions
Minority status, age less than 45 years, misinformation about seriousness of COVID-19 illness, and concern about vaccine efficacy were contributing factors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Therefore, understanding and addressing the barriers to COVID-19 vaccination in minority groups is essential to decreasing transmission and controlling this pandemic, and will provide lessons on how to implement public health measures in future pandemics.

During COVID-19, working from home (WFH) becomes most possible working arrangement alternative in order to practice social distancing. The productivity of WFH is still questioned by many organizations, especially companies which conduct WFH extensively for the first time. Do digital skills, work motivation, digital leadership, digital collaboration, perceived organizational support, and performance management impact positively and significantly on work productivity? This paper is based on cross-sectional study which involved 855 office workers from 32 provinces in Indonesia. PLS SEM and SmartPLS version 3.0 were used to structure and test the research model. The analysis result reveals that individual factor influences WFH productivity directly, while group and organizational antecedents influenced indirectly. To leverage WFH productivity, organizations should focus to develop digital skills and work motivation as individual factor. The organizational and group antecedents should be aligned and directed to impact on WFH productivity.

AbstractIn addition, to their established role in cardiac myocytes and neurons, ion channels encoded by ether‐a‐go‐go‐related genes (ERG1‐3 or kcnh2,3 and 6) (kcnh2) are functionally relevant in phasic smooth muscle. The aim of the study was to determine the expression and functional impact of ERG expression products in rat urinary bladder smooth muscle using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunocytochemistry, whole‐cell patch‐clamp and isometric tension recording. kcnh2 was expressed in rat bladder, whereas kcnh6 and kcnh3 expression were negligible. Immunofluorescence for the kcnh2 expression product Kv11.1 was detected in the membrane of isolated smooth muscle cells. Potassium currents with voltage‐dependent characteristics consistent with Kv11.1 channels and sensitive to the specific blocker E4031 (1 μM) were recorded from isolated detrusor smooth muscles. Disabling Kv11.1 activity with specific blockers (E4031 and dofetilide, 0.2–20 μM) augmented spontaneous contractions to a greater extent than BKCa channel blockers, enhanced carbachol‐driven activity, increased nerve stimulation‐mediated contractions, and impaired β‐adrenoceptor‐mediated inhibitory responses. These data establish for the first time that Kv11.1 channels are key determinants of contractility in rat detrusor smooth muscle.

Abstract
AA2195-T8 Al–Li alloy plates were welded by friction stir welding (FSW) at tool rotational speed of 1,000 rpm and tool traverse speeds (TS) of 100–400 mm·min−1 under three types of butting surface conditions, i.e., (1) without butting surface treatment, (2) butting surface milled, and (3) bead-on-plate welding. The effect of welding heat input and butting surface condition on joint line remnant (JLR) and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 2195-T8 Al–Li alloy was investigated comprehensively. In the stir zone of 2195-T8 FSW joints, there exists JLR composed of alumina-particle arrays and microcracks generated from the initial butting surface, and the morphology of JLR would evolve from smooth to serrate as TS increases. Moreover, as TS increases (i.e., the welding heat input decreases), JLR deteriorates the tensile strength of the 2195-T8 FSW joints, with joints prematurely fracturing along JLR. The fracture mode of 2195-T8 FSW joints was considered to be determined by the lower one between strength of JLR (S
JLR) and strength of the lowest hardness zone (S
LHZ), and JLR tends to be the fracture path at lower welding heat input. Furthermore, butting surface treatment (milling off oxide layer prior to welding) was found to be able to make the JLR in the 2195-T8 FSW joints less distinct and thus improve S
JLR, while fracture along JLR could not be avoided.

Long-Range α-Synchronization as Control Signal for BCI: A Feasibility Study

Published: February 2023

AbstractShifts in spatial attention are associated with variations in α band (α, 8–14 Hz) activity, specifically in interhemispheric imbalance. The underlying mechanism is attributed to local α-synchronization, which regulates local inhibition of neural excitability, and frontoparietal synchronization reflecting long-range communication. The direction-specific nature of this neural correlate brings forward its potential as a control signal in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). In the present study, we explored whether long-range α-synchronization presents lateralized patterns dependent on voluntary attention orienting and whether these neural patterns can be picked up at a single-trial level to provide a control signal for active BCI. We collected electroencephalography (EEG) data from a cohort of healthy adults (n = 10) while performing a covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) task. The data show a lateralized pattern of α-band phase coupling between frontal and parieto-occipital regions after target presentation, replicating previous findings. This pattern, however, was not evident during the cue-to-target orienting interval, the ideal time window for BCI. Furthermore, decoding the direction of attention trial-by-trial from cue-locked synchronization with support vector machines (SVMs) was at chance level. The present findings suggest EEG may not be capable of detecting long-range α-synchronization in attentional orienting on a single-trial basis and, thus, highlight the limitations of this metric as a reliable signal for BCI control.

Published: February 2023

AbstractVascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE‐PTP) influences endothelial barrier function by regulating the activation of tyrosine kinase receptor Tie2. We determined whether this action is linked to the development of atherosclerosis by examining the influence of arterial shear stress on VE‐PTP, Tie2 activation, plasma leakage, and atherogenesis. We found that exposure to high average shear stress led to downstream polarization and endocytosis of VE‐PTP accompanied by Tie2 activation at cell junctions. In aortic regions with disturbed flow, VE‐PTP was not redistributed away from Tie2. Endothelial cells exposed to high shear stress had greater Tie2 activation and less macromolecular permeability than regions with disturbed flow. Deleting endothelial VE‐PTP in VE‐PTPiECKOmice increased Tie2 activation and reduced plasma leakage in atheroprone regions. ApoE−/−mice bred with VE‐PTPiECKOmice had less plasma leakage and fewer atheromas on a high‐fat diet. Pharmacologic inhibition of VE‐PTP by AKB‐9785 had similar anti‐atherogenic effects. Together, the findings identify VE‐PTP as a novel target for suppression of atherosclerosis.

Published: February 2023

There are numerous applications for microwave absorbers in the L, S, C, X, and Ku bands. Creating a terahertz absorber, on the other hand, has proven difficult. This paper presents a metamaterial absorber operates at terahertz frequencies. It has a square shaped outer ring and a circle shaped inner ring unit cell split ring resonator. The substrate is dielectric material and the ground is metallic. According to the simulation results, the unit cell resonates at two frequencies that is at 1.3027THz and 1.7853THz with absorptivity is greater than 90% at normal incidence .The main cause of high absorbance is due to strong electromagnetic field. The proposed structure in this paper is useful for terahertz imaging, detection of malignant tumors and stealth technology.

Published: February 2023

Aim The primary aim was to ascertain long-term rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in this all-comer patient population undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (DCR). Secondary aims included procedural DCR success, clinical predictors of long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) and AF related hospitalizations.Material and Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Consecutive patients (n=316) undergoing elective DCR were included.Results Successful immediate reversion to SR was attained in 266 (84 %) of patients. 224 (84 %) patients were followed up for a median period of 3.5 years (IQR 2.7–4.3). Most patients (150 [67 %]) had recurrence of AF / flutter at a median time of 240 days. Clinical predictors of AF recurrence included a history of AF (HR 0.63, p=0.038) and a dilated left atrium (HR 4.13, p=0.048). Maintenance of SR was associated with fewer unplanned hospitalizations for AF (HR 3.25, p<0.01).Conclusion There was high procedural success post DCR. However, long-term rates of AF recurrence were high, and AF recurrences were associated with increased hospitalizations. These findings underscore the importance of clinical vigilance and multi-modal management as part of a comprehensive and effective rhythm control strategy.

Published: February 2023

This study is motivated by two things, namely Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, and the population of Indonesia has a high cultural diversity. This qualitative research applies a content analysis and semantic approach to analyze the texts and documents. Conceptually, proper education can shape character through the inculcation of religious values and local wisdom. At the same time, wise expressions in the Bugis advice are analyzed with a content analysis approach. The results of the analysis show two main points. First, character building starts from the human side. The Qur'an shows that character building must start from the inner dimension of the human being. It is indicated by the word 'anfus' in the Quran. Second, the central values of Bugis' local wisdom align with the universal values of the Quran, namely coaching that touches the inner dimension in the form of ideas, beliefs, and awareness of the importance of these noble values in attitudes and behavior. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh dua hal yaitu Indonesia sebagai negara dengan penduduk muslim terbesar di dunia, dan penduduk Indonesia yang memiliki keragaman budaya yang tinggi. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis isi dan semantik untuk menganalisis teks dan dokumen. Secara konseptual, pendidikan yang tepat dapat membentuk karakter melalui penanaman nilai-nilai agama dan kearifan lokal. Sementara itu, ungkapan bijak dalam petuah Bugis dianalisis dengan pendekatan analisis isi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan dua poin utama. Pertama, pembentukan karakter dimulai dari sisi kemanusiaan. Al-Qur'an menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan karakter harus dimulai dari dimensi batin manusia. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan kata 'anfus' dalam Al-Qur'an. Kedua, nilai-nilai sentral kearifan lokal Bugis selaras dengan nilai-nilai universal al-Qur'an, yaitu pembinaan yang menyentuh dimensi batin berupa gagasan, keyakinan, dan kesadaran akan pentingnya nilai-nilai luhur tersebut dalam sikap dan perilaku.
Experimental and 3D Numerical Investigation on Proppant Distribution in a Perforation Cluster Involving the Artificial Neural Network Prediction

Published: February 2023

Summary
Uniform proppant distribution in a cluster and a stage with multiple clusters is a primary objective to optimize fracturing parameters and improve the production from each cluster. Because fracturing slurry is typically pumped at high pressure and rate in fields, it is a big challenge to study proppant transport behavior and distribution characteristics through laboratory experiments. There is still a lack of an effective model to quantitatively evaluate proppant distribution based on an actual wellbore configuration. The objective is to propose a novel method to accurately evaluate the distribution uniformity and quickly optimize fracturing parameters based on field conditions.
This paper conducts particle transport experiments in a horizontal pipe with six holes at the helical distribution. A 3D numerical model coupling of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) is used to study proppant distribution. Proppant distribution is quantitatively evaluated by the proppant transport efficiency (E) and normalized standard deviation (NSD). The effects of 10 parameters are investigated. An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to predict proppant distribution in a cluster.
The results identify that proppant distribution among perforations is generally toe-biased in a horizontal wellbore due to a high pumping rate. Proppants with large inertia easily miss the heel-side holes and are suspended to the toe side. The complex vorticity flow carries them to the toe-side perforation regardless of hole orientation. Fluid distribution can significantly change proppant distribution regardless of fluid velocity. The heel-biased fluid distribution leads to the same bias of proppant, and the downward perforations receive more proppants. Proppant transport reaches equilibrium quickly, and the distribution is hard to change unless the injection condition varies. It is a good choice to increase fluid viscosity, add perforation sealers, and inject small mesh proppant, especially for the low density. The ANN model trained by extensive experimental and numerical samples can accurately evaluate proppant distribution uniformity. The study provides an efficient way to optimize injection parameter design and achieve real-time optimization coupled with the fiber-optic downhole diagnostic. It can be a crucial part of artificial intelligence hydraulic fracturing.

Abstract
Background: Wounds inflict pain and affect human health causing high expenditure on treatment and management. Herbal crude extracts are used in traditional medicine as a treatment for wounds and other illnesses. However, the progress in the use of plants has been deterred due to their poor solubility and, poor bioavailability requiring administration at high doses. It has been established that nanoencapsulation of herbal products in nanocarriers (size 1nm to 100nm) such as nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanospheres, and nanoliposomes greatly improves their efficacy. Due to their small and large surface area, nanocarriers are more biologically active, improve bioavailability, protect the drug from deterioration, and release it to the targeted site in a sustainable manner.
Aim: The review aims to collate and appraise evidence on the efficacy of nano encapsulated herbal exracts in the treatment of induced wounds in animal models.
Methods: The review will be protocol-driven and conducted according to the Preferred Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis for Protocols (PRISMA-P) and protocol guidelines for systematic review and meta-analysis for animal intervention studies. The final review will be conducted and reported with reference to (PRISMA) 2020 statement. Studies will be searched in Pub Med, ProQuest, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. The PRISMA flow criteria will be followed in screening the articles for inclusion. Data extraction form will be designed in Excel spreadsheet 2013 and data extracted based on the primary and secondary outcome. Risk of bias assessment will be done using SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool for animal studies. Data analysis will be done using narrative and quantitative synthesis.
Expected results:
We hope to make meaningful comparisons between the effectiveness of the herb-loaded nanomaterials and other interventions (controls) in the selected studies, based on the primary and secondary outcome measures. We expect that these findings inform clinical practice on whether preclinical studies show enough quality evidence on the efficacy and safety of herbal-loaded nanomaterials that can be translated into clinical trials and further research.
