Abstract
Background
Plasmodium vivax malaria is considered a major threat to malaria eradication. The radical cure for P. vivax malaria normally requires a 14-day administration of primaquine (PQ) to clear hypnozoites. However, maintaining adherence to PQ treatment is a significant challenge, particularly in malaria-endemic rural areas. Hence, this study aimed to formulate interventions for promoting patients’ commitment to PQ treatment in a highly malaria-endemic township in Myanmar.
Methods
A qualitative study was conducted in Waingmaw Township in northern Myanmar, where P. vivax malaria is highly endemic. Key stakeholders including public health officers and community members participated in focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) in September 2022. Data were collected using validated guidelines, translated into English, and visualized through thematic analysis.
Results
Responsible individuals from different levels of the Myanmar National Malaria Control Program participated in the IDIs. Most of them reported being aware of the markedly increasing trend of P. vivax and the possibility of relapse cases, especially among migrants who are lost to follow-up. Workload was a key concern surrounding intervention implementation. The respondents discussed possible interventions, such as implementing directly observed treatment (DOT) by family members, piloting a shorter PQ regimen, expanding the community’s malaria volunteer network, and strengthening health education activities using local languages to promote reasonable drug adherence. FGDs among community members revealed that although people were knowledgeable about malaria symptoms, places to seek treatment, and the use of bed nets to prevent mosquito bites, most of them still preferred to be treated by quack doctors and rarely used insecticide-treated nets at worksites. Many often stopped taking the prescribed drugs once the symptoms disappeared. Nevertheless, some respondents requested more bed nets to be distributed and health promotion activities to be conducted.
Conclusion
In rural areas where human resources are limited, interventions such as implementing family member DOT or shortening PQ regimens should be introduced to enhance the radical cure for the P. vivax infection. Disseminating information about the importance of taking the entire treatment course and emphasizing the burden of relapse is also essential.

Abstract
Coronal transients are known as sources of coronal upflows. With the commissioning of Solar Orbiter, it became apparent that coronal small-scale features are even more frequent than previously estimated. It was found that even small coronal features seen by Solar Orbiter can produce visible upflows. Therefore, it is important to study the plasma flows on small scales better and understand their atmospheric driving mechanisms.
In this article, we present the results from a two-week coordinated multi-space craft observation campaign with Hinode, IRIS and the GREGOR telescope. We identify a small region of coronal upflows with Doppler velocities of up to 16.5 km s−1. The upflows are located north of a coronal bright point in a coronal hole. We study the corona, the transition region, the chromosphere, and the photospheric magnetic field to find evidence of underlying mechanisms for the coronal upflow. We find a complex photospheric magnetic field with several small mixed polarities that are the footpoints of different loops. Flux emergence and cancellation are observed at the constantly changing footpoints of the coronal loops. Reconnection of loops can be identified as the driver of the coronal upflow. Furthermore, the impact of the coronal activity triggers plasma flows in the underlying layers. This work highlights that frequent small coronal features can cause considerable atmospheric response and ubiquitously produce plasma upflows that potentially feed into the solar wind.

Abstract

The purpose was to evaluate the effects of Mindfulness in Motion (MIM), a Mindfulness Based Intervention, on respiration rate, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV). Healthcare providers wore chest strap electrocardiography-based (ECG) devices during MIM sessions (n = 84). Data were collected during the following mindfulness-based segments: 5-minute quiet sitting to reflect on the weekly theme that ended with a 30 second mindful breath count (Baseline-MIM), 15-minute Education video, 20-minute Discussion with peers, 15-minute Practice, and lastly a 5-minute reflection ending with a 30 second breath count (Post-MIM). Metrics from ECG included: mean heart rate, root-mean square of successive differences between R-R intervals (rMSSD), standard deviation of R-R intervals (SDNN), absolute power for low frequency (LF, 0.04–0.15 Hz), and high frequency (HF, 0.15–0.4 Hz) bands, Total Power across entire frequency range (< 0.4 Hz), LF:HF Ratio, and respiration rate. According to mixed effect models there were main effects of MIM Session Segments (p < 0.05) across all metrics. Heart rate was elevated during Practice (4.96 ± 0.91, p < 0.001, ES = 0.383), while rMSSD was not significantly different at any timepoint (p > 0.05). Compared to Baseline-MIM, respiration rates were significantly slower in Practice (1.98 ± 0.35 bpm) and Post-MIM (2.03 ± 0.35 bpm, p < 0.001), while SDNN, LF, and LF:HF were significantly increased. During practice, HF was decreased, while Total Power was increased during Post-MIM. Acute improvements in HRV, likely from acute decreases in respiration rates, occurred while healthcare providers completed a mindfulness intervention (MIM) during work hours.

Abstract
Aluminum oxide and cadmium oxide nanoparticles have been reinforced carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC nanoparticles using a laser ablation process. The effect of change the content of cadmium oxide on the optical, thermal and electrical conductivity properties have been evaluated. The synthesized films have been investigated via various techniques. The strong ion interactions and arrangement of big ion clusters that produced a significant quantity of ion clusters may have caused the Al2O3/CdO peaks to rise again. FTIR spectra of the polymer nanocomposites obtained the interactions between the Al2O3/CdO -NPs and pure CMC. The energy gap values decrease from 5.35 eV to 2.98 eV in direct transition by increasing the content of cadmium oxide nanoparticles. The values of TGA indicate that the thermal stability of the produced materials has been increased by the addition of Al2O3/CdO nanoparticles. Dielectric results found that as Al2O3/CdO NP concentrations increase, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increase as well. Arc length in CMC/Al2O3 reduces as cadmium oxide content rises, indicating enhanced conductivity. The synthesized nanocomposite fil could be suggested for optoelectronic applications.
Balancing riderless electric scooters at zero speed in the presence of feedback delay
Authors: Horvath Hanna Zsofia , Takacs Denes 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of electric scooters is investigated using a spatial mechanical model. The equations of motion are derived with the help of Kane's method. Two control algorithms are designed in order to balance the e-scooter in a vertical position at zero longitudinal speed. Hierarchical, linear state feedback controllers with feedback delay are considered. In the case of a delay-free controller, the linear stability properties are analyzed analytically, with the help of the Routh-Hurwitz criteria. The linear stability charts of the delayed controllers are constructed with the help of the D-subdivision method and semi-discretization. The control gains of the controllers are optimized with respect to the robustness against perturbations. The effects of the feedback delay of the controllers, the rake angle, the trail, and the center of gravity of the handlebar on the linear stability are shown. The performance of the control algorithms is verified by means of numerical simulations.

Authors: Carroll Megan , Centanni Ryan , Sherman Ashley , Kline Jessica , Follansbee Christopher W. , Chang Philip M. , Malloy-Walton Lindsey E. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Alternate electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition with fewer than 12 leads has not been systematically evaluated in pediatric patients. This study aimed to determine if an abbreviated ECG with fewer leads maintained diagnostic accuracy in pediatric ECGs.
Methods
Single center, systematic review of randomly selected standard 12-lead ECGs from our hospital database (2017–2020) was performed. Utilizing an overlay technique, 8-(limb + V1/V6) and 6-lead (limb only) variations of 12-lead tracings were generated and interpreted by two independent pediatric electrophysiologists.
Results
600 pediatric ECGs were generated from 200 patients (age range 2 weeks-21 years old). There was high percent agreement (92.5–100%) amongst the readers. When comparing 12-lead to 6- and 8-lead ECGs, there was almost perfect agreement in rhythm identification (97.5–100%, 𝜅 0.85-1) and substantial agreement with specific interval measurements (97.5–100%, k 0.66-1). The 8-lead showed substantial agreement with 12-lead ECGs when identifying specific ECG patterns (97.5–100%, 𝜅 0.66-1). A similar degree of agreement was not seen with the 6-lead variant. Utilizing the 12-lead ECG as the gold standard, sensitivity and specificity of the 8- and 6-lead ECG were > 89% for rhythm identification. The specificity for interval measurements and pattern recognition was > 99% while sensitivity was reduced for both 6- and 8- lead ECG, likely due to smaller sample size and fewer abnormal ECGs.
Conclusions
An 8-lead ECG provided comparable diagnostic accuracy to a 12-lead ECG for rhythm identification, interval measurement, and ECG pattern recognition. This information can be integrated into future technological advancements in ECG acquisition tailored specifically for pediatrics.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIllegal human activities occurring within protected areas (PA) are threats to the ecosystem and an annoyance for PA managers in many parts of the world including Ethiopia. This research aims to map scattered settlements in and surrounding Babile Elephant Sanctuary (BES) to analyse its impact on the endangered PA. Sentinel-2 L2 spectral data from dry and wet seasons were used to map settlements. A simple method of cloud masking based on multi-temporal thresholding that referenced a cloud-free dry season image was proposed to produce a cloud-free wet season image from several images. Then 19 features were derived from the seasonal images to be used as input for the random forest classifier. An integrated dataset was produced from the World Settlement Footprint and the new settlement map for analysis of settlement distribution. To see the variation in settlement density, cluster analysis was performed using Ordering Points to Identify the Clustering Structure (OPTICS) algorism. Our result was very closer to the World Settlement FootprintDataset The result showed that an area on the west of BES that covers only 18% of its boundary was settlement-free. If BES is to survive, relevant authorities should take immediate measures that curtain the movement of people into the sanctuary.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment for medication-refractory neuropathic pain. The ventral posteromedial (VPM) and ventral posterolateral (VPL) nuclei of the thalamus are popular targets for the treatment of facial and limb pain, respectively. While intraoperative testing is used to adjust targeting of patient-specific pain locations, a better understanding of thalamic somatotopy may improve targeting of specific body regions including the individual trigeminal territories, face, arm, and leg.Objectives To elucidate the somatotopic organization of the sensory thalamus using in-vivo macrostimulation data from patients undergoing DBS for refractory neuropathic pain.Methods In-vivo macrostimulation data was retrospectively collected for 14 patients who underwent DBS implantation for neuropathic pain syndromes at our institution. 56 contacts from 14 electrodes reconstructed with LeadDBS were assigned to macrostimulation-related body regions: tongue, face, arm, or leg. 33 contacts from 9 electrodes were similarly assigned to one of three trigeminal territories: V1, V2, or V3. MNI coordinates in the x, y, and z axes were compared by using MANOVA.Results Across the horizontal plane of the sensory thalamus, the tongue was represented significantly medially, followed by the face, arm, and leg most laterally (p < 0.001). The trigeminal territories displayed significant mediolateral distribution, proceeding from V1 and V2 most medial to V3 most lateral (p < 0.001). Along the y-axis, V2 was also significantly anterior to V3 (p = 0.014).Conclusions While our results showed that the sensory thalamus displayed mediolateral somatotopy of the tongue, face, arm, and leg mirroring the cortical homunculus, the mediolateral distribution of trigeminal territories did not mirror the established cortical homunculus. This finding suggests that the facial homunculus may be inverted in the sensory thalamus.

Abstract

In 2000, Hafner and Stopple proved a conjecture of Zagier which states that the constant term of the automorphic function |∆(x+iy)|2 i.e., the Lambert series Σ∞n=1 τ (n)2e−4πny can be expressed in terms of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. In this article, we study an asymptotic expansion of a generalized version of the aforementioned Lambert series associated to Siegel cusp forms.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) stands as a rare and locally aggressive soft tissue tumor, characterized by intricated molecular alterations. The imperative to unravel the complexities of intratumor heterogeneity underscores effective clinical management. Herein, we harnessed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to conduct a comprehensive analysis encompassing samples from primary sites, satellite foci, and lymph node metastases. Rigorous preprocessing of raw scRNA-seq data ensued, and employing t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE) analysis, we unveiled seven major cell populations and fifteen distinct subpopulations. Malignant cell subpopulations were delineated using infercnv for copy number variation calculations. Functional and metabolic variations of diverse malignant cell populations across samples were deciphered utilizing GSVA and the scMetabolism R packages. Additionally, the exploration of differentiation trajectories within diverse fibroblast subpopulations was orchestrated through pseudotime trajectory analyses employing CytoTRACE and Monocle2, and further bolstered by GO analyses to elucidate the functional disparities across distinct differentiation states. In parallel, immune microenvironmental cellular components were segmented, and GSEA analyses uncovered functional differences across the three tumor samples. Remarkably, the CellChat facilitated a comprehensive intercellular communication analysis. This study culminates in an all-encompassing single-cell transcriptome atlas, propounding novel insights into the multifaceted nature of intratumor heterogeneity and fundamental molecular mechanisms propelling metastatic DFSP.

Authors: Zuo Xuelian , Zhou Ting 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This study explored executive power’s influence on corporate R&D investment based on social psychology theory. It also examined the impact of media attention and institutional environment on the relationship between executive power and enterprise R&D investment as an external governance mechanism. Empirical verification was carried out using data on listed companies on China's small and medium-sized board and growth enterprise market from 2013 to 2018. The results show a significant positive correlation between executive power and corporate R&D investment. Further research reveals that ownership power, organizational power, and reputational power significantly promote enterprises’ R&D investments. Expert power has no significant impact on R&D investment. In enterprises with lower media attention, the influence of executive power on R&D investment is more significant. In enterprises with a poorer institutional environment, the influence of executive power on R&D investment is more significant.

Abstract

Detection of anonymous behavior is a method of detecting the behavior of people who are insignificant. By using video surveillance and anomaly detection, it is possible to automatically see when something that does not fit the usual pattern is captured by the camera. Although it is a challenging task, it is crucial to automate, improve, and lower expenses in order to detect crimes and other calamities. In this paper, a novel YOLO-Robbery network has been introduced for enhance the security by identifying the threat activities in the supermarket and send the alert message to the shop owner automatically. Initially, the surveillance camera's real-time footage is collected and transformed into image frames for subsequent processing. These frames are pre-processed using multi-scale retinex to remove distortions and augmented to increase the data frames. This work utilizes the YOLO V7 network to extract features from surveillance camera images to quite effective at recognizing and classifying threats at supermarket. Finally, Greedy snake optimization is used to fine-tune the hyperparameters of YOLO V7 network it is trained using DCSASS dataset for efficient image recognition and the alert message is sent to the shop owner automatically. The proposed method has been simulated using MATLAB. The experimental result shows that the YOLO-Robbery method performance was evaluated using the DCSASS dataset in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and specificity. The proposed YOLO-Robbery achieves the overall accuracy of 99.15%. The proposed YOLO-Robbery increases the overall accuracy range by 13.15%, 2.15%, and 6.24 better than CLSTM-NN, J. DCNN, and ANFIS respectively.

Abstract
The oxidative phosphorylation(OXPHOS) is one of the important activities and plays an important role in the development of tumor. This study combines transcriptome and clinical data from gastric cancer(GC) patients from the GEO and TCGA databases. Consensus Cluster Analysis divides GC patients into OXPHOS-high and -low groups. The GSVA analysis displayed significant differences in the immune microenvironment among the different OXPHOS groups. Furthermore, WGCNA was used to screen immune-related core molecules, and analyzed the differentially-Expressed Genes(DEGs) among different subtypes. AURKB was identified as a key molecule linking oxidative phosphorylation and immunity in GC. Subsequently, the biological functions of AURKB in GC were analyzed using transcriptomics and cell experiments. Finally, the link between AURKB and immunotherapy effect in patients with GC was analyzed in combination with multiple immune-related databases. Our study determined that AURKB is involved in the OXPHOS and affects the response to immunotherapy in GC patients. The combination of AZD1152 and targeted Therapy or immunotherapy may be a promising strategy in the treatment of GC.
