Secure spatial modulation based on two-dimensional generalized weighted fractional Fourier transform encryption
Authors: Huang Yongxin , Sha Xuejun , Fang Xiaojie , Song Ge 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn this paper, a two-dimensional generalized weighted fractional Fourier transform (2DGWFRFT) and constellation scrambling (CS)-based secure spatial modulation (SM) scheme, called 2DGWFRFT-CS-SM, is proposed to enhance the physical layer security (PLS) of the wireless communication system. The proposed scheme is executed by two steps. In the first step, 2DGWFRFT is implemented as the security kernel for PLS provision. In the second step, the parameters of 2DGWFRFT, regarded as the encryption core, control the antenna number rotation to further enhance the security of the SM modulation symbol. Both the 2DGWFRFT signal generation strategy and the SM system including the transfer process have been elaborated to depict the security mechanism of the proposed scheme. Moreover, we give a key extraction algorithm utilized to generate the parameters, which can help scramble the antenna serial number. From the perspective of signal characteristics, the uniqueness of variation in the constellation has been investigated to outperform other cryptography-based encryption algorithms. Finally, the secrecy rates and the energy efficiency of our proposed scheme are theoretically analyzed and evaluated via Monte Carlo simulations, demonstrating that the proposed scheme can achieve a much higher secrecy capacity than artificial noise schemes without requiring additional jamming power consumption and myriad costs of hardware.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe prevention and treatment of eating disorders relies on an extensive body of research that includes various foci and methodologies. This scoping review identified relevant studies of eating disorders, body image, and disordered eating with New Zealand samples; charted the methodologies, sample characteristics, and findings reported; and identified several gaps that should be addressed by further research.MethodsUsing scoping review methodology, two databases were searched for studies examining eating disorders, disordered eating, or body image with New Zealand samples. Snowball methods were further used to identify additional relevant articles that did not appear in initial searches. Two independent reviewers screened the titles and abstracts of 473 records. Full text assessment of the remaining 251 records resulted in 148 peer-reviewed articles being identified as eligible for the final review. A search of institutional databases yielded 106 Masters and Doctoral theses for assessment, with a total of 47 theses being identified as eligible for the final review. The included studies were classified by methodology, and the extracted information included the study foci, data collected, sample size, demographic information, and key findings.ResultsThe eligible studies examined a variety of eating disorder categories including binge-eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa, in addition to disordered eating behaviours and body image in nonclinical or community samples. Methodologies included treatment trials, secondary analysis of existing datasets, non-treatment experimental interventions, cross-sectional observation, case-control studies, qualitative and mixed-methods studies, and case studies or series. Across all of the studies, questionnaire and interview data were most commonly utilised. A wide range of sample sizes were evident, and studies often reported all-female or mostly-female participants, with minimal inclusion of males and gender minorities. There was also an underrepresentation of minority ethnicities in many studies, highlighting the need for future research to increase diversity within samples.ConclusionThis study provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of research into eating disorders and body image in New Zealand, while highlighting important considerations for both local and international research.
Using passive Wi-Fi for community crowd sensing during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ribeiro Miguel , Teixeira Diogo , Barbosa Pedro , Nunes Nuno Jardim 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSensing passersby and detecting crowded locations is a growing area of research and development in the last decades. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled authorities and public and private institutions to monitor access and occupancy of crowded spaces. This work addresses the detection of crowds in points of interest (POI) by using a territory grid analysis categorizing POIs by the services available in each location and comparing data gathered from a community passive Wi-Fi infrastructure against mobile cellular tower association data from telecom companies. In Madeira islands (Portugal), we used data from the telecom provider NOS for the timespan of 4 months as ground truth and found a strong correlation with sparse passive Wi-Fi. An official regional mobile application shows the occupancy data to end-users based on the territory categorization and the passive Wi-Fi infrastructure in POIs. Occupancy data shows historical hourly trends of each location, and the real-time occupation, helping visitors and locals plan their commutes better to avoid crowded spaces.

Authors: Martell Sarah , Marini Christina , Kondas Cathy A. , Deutch Allison B. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Existing literature about the psychological side effects of hormonal contraception (HC) is limited. The goal of this study is to better characterize patients’ subjective experiences with HC, its side effects, and contraception counseling.

Methods
This is a cross-sectional, survey-based study using a convenience sample of patients who had used HC at some point in their lives. Recruitment occurred from June 2021-February 2022.

Results
Of the 188 responses included in the analysis, 43.6% reported experiencing mood changes as a side effect of HC at some point in their lives. The most common reason participants cited for discontinuing or switching contraception methods was side effects (48.3%). Participants with a history of psychiatric illness were significantly more likely to report mood changes as a side effect of their HC (61.2%) compared to participants with no history of psychiatric illness (29.5%). Among patients with a history of psychiatric illness, 38.8% responded that their psychiatric symptoms worsened with HC while only 11.2% responded that their symptoms improved with HC. The majority (83%) of participants responded that their provider never mentioned the possibility of psychological side effects during contraception counseling. If/when they experienced side effects associated with their HC, 22.7% of participants disagreed that their provider adequately addressed their concerns.

Conclusion
These findings suggest that mood changes may be among the most common perceived side effects of HC and speak to a disconnect between patients and providers when it comes to discussing the possibility of psychological side effects with HC.
Novel modelling strategies for high-frequency stock trading data
Authors: Zhang Xuekui , Huang Yuying , Xu Ke , Xing Li 
Published: January 2023

AbstractFull electronic automation in stock exchanges has recently become popular, generating high-frequency intraday data and motivating the development of near real-time price forecasting methods. Machine learning algorithms are widely applied to mid-price stock predictions. Processing raw data as inputs for prediction models (e.g., data thinning and feature engineering) can primarily affect the performance of the prediction methods. However, researchers rarely discuss this topic. This motivated us to propose three novel modelling strategies for processing raw data. We illustrate how our novel modelling strategies improve forecasting performance by analyzing high-frequency data of the Dow Jones 30 component stocks. In these experiments, our strategies often lead to statistically significant improvement in predictions. The three strategies improve the F1 scores of the SVM models by 0.056, 0.087, and 0.016, respectively.
Design, pharmacokinetic profiling, and assessment of kinetic and thermodynamic stability of novel anti-Salmonella typhi imidazole analogues
Authors: Ameji John Philip , Uzairu Adamu , Shallangwa Gideon Adamu , Uba Sani 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Typhoid fever, a disease caused by a gram negative bacterial species known as Salmonella typhi, constitutes a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in developing nations of the world. Antibiotic therapy is the major treatment option currently but the rising incidences of resistance to existing antibiotics has necessitated the search for newer ones. The aim of this study is to apply in silico techniques to design highly potent novel imidazole-based drug candidates that strongly antagonize a cell invasion protein (SipA) of Salmonella typhi.

Methods
In this study, a set of anti-Salmonella typhi imidazole analogues were subjected to molecular docking against an important cell invasion protein of the bacterium known as SipA using PyRx graphical user interface of AutoDock Vina software. The best ligand was selected as template for designing more potent analogues. Drug-likeness, pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles of the designed ligands were assessed through the use of Swiss ADME online tool and Osiris DataWarrior V5.5.0 chemo-informatics program. Kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of the ligands were ascertained via Density Functional Theory’s Becke-3-parameter Lee–Yang–Parr hybrid functional and 6-31G** basis set-based quantum chemical calculations.

Results
The bioactive ligands were found to possess Gibb’s free binding energy (ΔG) values ranging from − 5.4 to − 6.7 kcal/mol against the active sites of the protease. Ligand 13 with ΔG = − 6.7 kcal/mol was used as template to design more potent analogues; B-1 and B-2 with ΔG value of − 7.8 kcal/mol and − 7.6 kcal/mol, respectively, against the protein target. When compared with ciprofloxacin used as control with ΔG value of − 6.8 kcal/mol, the designed ligands were found to be more potent. Furthermore, drug-likeness and ADMET profiling of the designed ligands revealed that they have excellent oral bioavailability and sound pharmacokinetic profiles. In addition, quantum chemical calculations revealed HOMO–LUMO energy gap of 3.58 eV and 3.45 eV; and global electrophilicity index of 4.95 eV and 4.79 eV for B-1 and B-2 ligands, respectively, indicative of their favorable kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities.

Conclusions
It is envisaged that the findings of this study would provide an excellent blueprint for developing novel antibiotics against multidrug resistant Salmonella typhi.

Abstract
Background
Following the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak, Uganda experienced a 40% drop in tuberculosis (TB) screening by June 2020. We sought to identify barriers to and facilitators of integrated COVID-19 and TB screening from the perspective of healthcare providers (HCPs) at a National Referral Hospital in Kampala, Uganda.

Design/methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study using in-depth interviews with 12 HCPs involved in TB activities in the outpatient and emergency departments at Kiruddu National Referral Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. We explored the HCP experiences at work in the setting of COVID-19, HCP perceived effect of COVID-19 on TB screening activities at the hospital, and perceptions about social and contextual factors that might influence the willingness of HCP to integrate screening of COVID-19 and TB. We analyzed the data using an inductive thematic approach and we denoted the emergent themes as barriers to and facilitators of COVID-19/TB integrated screening. We then mapped the themes to the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior (COM-B) model.

Results
The facilitators to integrated COVID-19 and TB screening included the availability of TB focal persons and already existing training forums at the hospital that could be utilized to strengthen the capacity of HCP to integrate COVID-19 and TB screening. The barriers included HCP’s inadequate knowledge on how to integrate screening of COVID-19 and TB, the absence of simple easy-to-use standard operating procedures and data collection tools for integrated screening, inconsistent supply of personal protective equipment (PPE), understaffing, and fear of contracting COVID-19 infection. The identified intervention functions to address the facilitators or barriers included education, persuasion, enablement, and training.

Conclusions
These findings provided a basis for designing contextually appropriate interventions targeting factors that are likely to influence HCP decisions and willingness to conduct TB screening in the context of COVID-19. Future studies should evaluate the effect of addressing these barriers to the integration of COVID-19 and TB as well as the effect of this on TB case finding in high-burden TB settings.
Three's a crowd – why did three N-terminal methyltransferases evolve for one job?
Authors: Conner Meghan M. , Schaner Tooley Christine E. 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
N-terminal methylation of the α-amine group (Nα-methylation) is a post-translational modification (PTM) that was discovered over 40 years ago. Although it is not the most abundant of the Nα-PTMs, there are more than 300 predicted substrates of the three known mammalian Nα-methyltransferases, METTL11A and METTL11B (also known as NTMT1 and NTMT2, respectively) and METTL13. Of these ∼300 targets, the bulk are acted upon by METTL11A. Only one substrate is known to be Nα-methylated by METTL13, and METTL11B has no proven in vivo targets or predicted targets that are not also methylated by METTL11A. Given that METTL11A could clearly handle the entire substrate burden of Nα-methylation, it is unclear why three distinct Nα-methyltransferases have evolved. However, recent evidence suggests that many methyltransferases perform important biological functions outside of their catalytic activity, and the Nα-methyltransferases might be part of this emerging group. Here, we describe the distinct expression, localization and physiological roles of each Nα-methyltransferase, and compare these characteristics to other methyltransferases with non-catalytic functions, as well as to methyltransferases with both catalytic and non-catalytic functions, to give a better understanding of the global roles of these proteins. Based on these comparisons, we hypothesize that these three enzymes do not just have one common function but are actually performing three unique jobs in the cell.

Authors: Bradley Kathryn M. , Bunn Jennifer A. , Feito Yuri , Myers Bradley J. 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction/Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the effects of isovolumetric training with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on muscle hypertrophy, power, strength, and aerobic capacity.

Methods
Twenty participants (30.2 ± 7.7 yr, 69.6 ± 15.0 kg, 166.8 ± 7.3 cm) were randomized to a control (n = 11) or BFR group (n = 9). Testing sessions included measurement of bilateral thigh circumference, cross-sectional area of the vastus lateralis and biceps femoris via ultrasound imaging, determination of maximum oxygen consumption (V̇O2max) and power output via rowing, and estimated one-repetition maximum (1-RM) deadlift. Participants trained twice weekly for 4 wk. The BFR group (applied to thighs bilaterally at 80% occlusion) rowed at 40% maximum power output and lifted 30% 1-RM for 1 × 20 reps and 3 × 10 reps. The control group rowed at 80% power and lifted 60% 1-RM for 1 × 10 reps and 3 × 5 reps.

Results
Analyses indicated a main effect over time (P = 0.001) for power (P = 0.001), cross-sectional area of vastus lateralis and biceps femoris bilaterally (P = 0.001 for both), and V̇O2max (P = 0.003), indicating that both groups improved over time. Results also indicated that the control group had higher ratings of perceived exertion than the BFR group during training (P = 0.04).

Conclusions
The two types of training did not produce different results, except the BFR group had a higher output in maximum power. BFR training can be a feasible option for individuals unable to train at 60%–80% of maximum allowing for progressive rehabilitation with lower intensity.
Genomes on a Tree (GoaT): A versatile, scalable search engine for genomic and sequencing project metadata across the eukaryotic tree of life
Authors: Challis Richard , Kumar Sujai , Sotero-Caio Cibele , Brown Max , Blaxter Mark 
Published: January 2023

As genomic data transform our understanding of biodiversity, the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) has set a goal of generating reference quality genome assemblies for all ~1.9 million described eukaryotic taxa. Meeting this goal requires coordination among many individual regional and taxon-focussed projects working under the EBP umbrella. Large-scale sequencing projects require ready access to validated genome-relevant metadata, such as genome sizes and karyotypes, but these data are dispersed across the literature, and directly measured values are lacking for most taxa. To meet these needs, we have developed Genomes on a Tree (GoaT), an Elasticsearch-powered datastore and search index for genome-relevant metadata and sequencing project plans and statuses. GoaT indexes publicly available metadata for all eukaryotic species and interpolates missing values through phylogenetic comparison. GoaT also holds target priority and sequencing status information for many projects affiliated to the EBP to aid project coordination. Metadata and status attributes in GoaT can be queried through a mature API, a web front end, and a command line interface. The web front end additionally provides summary visualisations for data exploration and reporting (see https://goat.genomehubs.org). GoaT currently holds direct or estimated values for over 70 taxon attributes and over 30 assembly attributes across 1.5 million eukaryotic species. The depth and breadth of curated data, frequent updates, and a versatile query interface make GoaT a powerful data aggregator and portal to explore and report underlying data for the eukaryotic tree of life. We illustrate this utility through a series of use cases from planning through to completion of a genome-sequencing project.
Deviant behavior of law enforcement officers: a review of Research in Modern Russian Psychology
Authors: Bochkova Margarita 
Published: January 2023

Introduction. Modern Russian studies devoted to the study of deviant behavior in different age samples of employees of internal affairs bodies (ATS) are considered. The urgency of the problem is related to the task and optimization of interpersonal interaction of ATS employees. Materials and discussion. The types of deviant behavior and deviations in interpersonal interaction are considered. The results of studies aimed at identifying the causes and predictors of deviant behavior in cadets, cadets and police officers with different service experience are presented. The concept of antisocial creativity is considered, predictors of antisocial creativity identified in studies of various age samples are presented. An important predictor of deviant behavior in police officers are negative personal characteristics: hostility, aggression, character accentuation. Among cadets, an important role in the formation of negative personal characteristics is played by the peculiarities of the educational institution, and to a greater extent its closeness. Employees of the Department of Internal Affairs have a different situation: with the growth of service experience, these characteristics are not formed, but manifest themselves due to professional deformation. Conclusions. The analysis of modern publications shows the absence of longitudinal studies tracking the dynamics of changes in deviant behavior, and the apparent insufficiency of studies of deviant behavior in the interpersonal interaction of police officers.
The prospect of studying the features of interpersonal interaction of ATS employees within the framework of the study of the relationship between antisocial creativity and emotional intelligence is substantiated.
The connection between the processes of digitalization and projectification of society

Published: January 2023

In recent years, the projectification of society has received increasing attention in researches. Stemming from the projectification of the economy with a multitude of project-based companies that rely on projects as a form of structuring tasks, projects are also playing an increasingly important role at the societal level. Many companies, implementing projects with high corporate social responsibility, must comply with the requirements for project activities established by law and standards. The position that “project society has arrived and is continuously developing” is supported by the fact that an increasing number of undertakings that were otherwise named or structured are now implemented in the form of projects. The projectification of society can be seen through the lenses of sociology and organization theory and projects can be defined as a complex, self-organizing network of a disparate group of people who interact for a relatively short period of time.
Also, innovation and technological progress have a huge impact on changes in the ways of society, various spheres of life, and especially in economic activity. The rapid development of digital technologies encourages a global change in approaches to doing business, and also destroys already established traditions and habits. Thus, there is a new industrial revolution, which is caused by many factors and is currently under development.
This article discusses the intermediate results of the forth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), the processes of digitalization and design in various spheres of life. It is also important that the authors tried to answer an important question – how these processes are interconnected and affect each other.

TRANSLATING RECIPES FROM CHINESE INTO POLISH: POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Translation of culinary recipes has been a relatively understudied field and very little research has been done on the difficulties of translating recipes between Chinese and Polish. This paper attempts to classify and analyze problems which may be encountered by the Polish translators of Chinese recipes and suggests possible solutions to these problems, referring to earlier examples. The discussed problems include: culturally specific names and descriptions of Chinese dishes, the use of ingredients that are unknown in Poland, descriptions of cooking methods that are specific to Chinese cuisine, different units of weight used in Poland, China and Taiwan. The paper demonstrates that in order to fully understand and translate a recipe, the translator must possess an in-depth knowledge of both the source language and culture.
