Abstract
The task of classifying human emotions based on facial expressions has been a challenging area of research for the past two decades. Early approaches relied on hand-crafted features such as SIFT, HOG, and LBP and classifiers trained on facial expression datasets. However, these methods failed to provide accurate results on newer, more complex datasets. Recently, the trend has shifted towards using deep learning models for facial expression classification, providing improved results. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of these models. In this research, we propose a novel model to improve the accuracy of facial expression classification on several benchmark datasets. Our model is based on generating nine different patches for different relevant facial regions and uses nine different streams, each for one of those micro-facial regions. We evaluate our model on the CK+, Oulu-Casia, and RAF-DB datasets and achieve state-of-the-art results, including 10-fold cross-validation accuracies of 99.8% and 91.25% for CK+ and Oulu-Casia datasets, respectively. Our proposed model demonstrates a significant improvement in the accuracy of facial expression classification and provides a promising approach for future research in this field.

Abstract

Background Early-life environmental exposures are suspected to be involved in the development of chronic diseases later in life. Most studies conducted so far considered single or few exposures and single-health parameter. Our study aimed to identify a childhood general health score and assess its association with a wide range of pre- and post-natal environmental exposures. Methods The analysis is based on 870 children (6–12 years) from six European birth cohorts participating in the Human Early-Life Exposome project. A total of 53 prenatal and 105 childhood environmental factors were considered, including lifestyle, social, urban and chemical exposures. We built a general health score by averaging three sub-scores (cardiometabolic, respiratory/allergy and mental) built from 15 health parameters. By construct, a child with a low score has a low general health status. Penalized multivariable regression through Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) was fitted in order to identify exposures associated with the general health score. Findings: The results of LASSO show that a lower general health score was associated with maternal passive and active smoking during pregnancy and postnatal exposure to methylparaben, copper, indoor air pollutants, high intake of caffeinated drinks and few contacts with friends and family. Higher child’s general health score was associated with prenatal exposure to a bluespace near residency and postnatal exposures to pets, cobalt, high intakes of vegetables and more physical activity. Against our hypotheses, postnatal exposure to organochlorine compounds, perfluorooctanoate and childhood medium intake of sodas and bakery products were associated with a higher child’s general health score. Conclusion By using a general health score summarizing the child cardiometabolic, respiratory/allergy and mental health, this study reinforced previously suspected environmental factors associated with various child health parameters (e.g. tobacco, air pollutants) and identified new factors (e.g. pets, bluespace) warranting further investigations.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background: To improve the survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the World Health Organization has promoted the Kids Save Lives programme to train school children in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, not every child can perform high-quality CPR. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two parts, (1)''Call-for-Assistance'' (Checking consciousness, calling for help) and ''Chest Compression'(CPR).
Methods: The study included a ''Chest Compression'' group (n = 256) and a ''Call-for-Assistance'' group (n = 82). The related courses were taught and evaluated by professional instructors. The mean differences between groups were compared using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for continuous data and the Fisher's exact test for categorical data.
Results: Most of the children could not achieve the standard compression depth (5–6 cm). Only 17.37% of the Grades 5 and 6 children achieve mean compression depth between 5-6 cm. However, over half (57.3%) of the children could complete ''Call-for-Assistance'' actions, including ''Check consciousness'' and ''Shout for help''.
Conclusion: The children's CPR performance was suboptimal, but the overall CPR performance could be improved with school children's age, height, and weight. Moreover, the children could comprehend how to call for assistance in an emergency. To establish teaching methods tailored to the ability of children of different ages, exploring the factors influencing CPR skill acquisition is necessary. Overall, we recommend that first aid training for school children should focus on ''Call-for-Assistance'', and we believe that this training course can improve their attitude towards first aid.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Simarouba species are well known medicinal plants used in traditional medicine as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer remedies. It is also known for having anti-neoplastic, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, herbistatic and analgesic properties. However, information on traditional use in tumour treatment are limited. Simarouba glauca is one of the most popular species, which is a native tree of Central and South America, also found in countries like South Florida, Caribbean islands, Cuba, Mexico, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Jamaica, etc. It was introduced in India in 1960. Even though studies on the biological activities of this species are abundant, still there is lack of data on the cytotoxic activity of Simarouba glauca extracts on Ovarian cancer in the literature. In this study, we analysed the phytochemical composition and anti-oxidant activity of these extracts. Cytotoxic potential of these extracts was estimated on PA 1 Human Ovarian Cancer cell lines. The methanol fraction exhibited better potency as compared to acetone fraction. Both acetone and methanol extracts showed higher anti-oxidant capacities in contrast to other solvent extracts.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Background Tooth loss is a common oral health problem that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Despite a general decrease in severe tooth loss, it remains prevalent globally and can be caused by multiple factors, including chronic inflammation and systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood indices and tooth loss by analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and uncover any potential clinical biomarkers in peripheral blood for tooth loss. Methods This study analyzed data from the NHANES collected from 2017 to March 2020. Age, gender, race, C-reactive protein, and complete blood count were employed as variables. Multivariate logistic regression models to examine the association between the important variables and tooth loss. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) was used to evaluate the significance of association. Results A total of 9094 participants were finally included in the trial. In peripheral blood, tooth loss was highly linked with higher levels of segmented neutrophils (OR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.05–1.20; p = 0.0017) and red cell distribution width (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.07–1.16; p < 0.001). The degree of the connection between these factors and tooth loss varied by age, gender, and ethnicity, as shown by subgroup analysis. Conclusions The results suggest that higher segmented neutrophils and red cell distribution width levels in peripheral blood may be associated with a higher risk of tooth loss and could serve as risk markers for tooth loss.
WITHDRAWN: Assessment of Dimension Stone Qualty Through Fuzzy Logic Inference System
Authors: Köken Ekin , Strzałkowski Paweł 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this study, Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) was adopted to evaluate the dimension stone quality. For this purpose, 19 different rock types from different parts of Turkey were considered. Several membership functions were established using various rock properties such as dry density (ρd), water absorption by weight (wa), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), flexural strength (FS) and Böhme abrasion value (BAV). Based on 33 if–then rules, the implementation and verification of the proposed FIS model were made in this study. The results obtained from the FIS analyses were declared as a dimension stone field performance coefficient (DSFPC), where higher DSFPC values indicate dimension stones with higher quality. The results obtained from the FIS analyses are almost in good agreement with those obtained from the field performances of the investigated rocks. However, the number of cases should be increased to improve the proposed FIS model. In this context, the number of if–then rules and membership functions can be rearranged according to the need. This study, in this manner, can be declared a case study indicating how to quantity dimension stone quality based on FIS analyses.

A comparison of CMIP5 and CMIP6 climate model projections for hydrological impacts in China
Authors: Lei Yawen , Chen Jie , Xiong Lihua 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Global climate model (GCM) outputs from Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) were widely used to investigate climate change impacts last 10 years. It is important to know whether Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) is more reliable than CMIP5. Number of studies compared GCMs from two CMIPs in simulating climate variables, but they are not in the field of hydrology for large quantities of watersheds. The objective of this study is to compare CMIP5 and CMIP6 climate model projections in projecting hydrological changes between future (2071–2100) and historical (1976–2005) periods and inter-model variability of hydrological impacts for the future period over 343 catchments in China's mainland. The results show that the GCMs in CMIP6 show more increase in daily mean temperature and mean annual precipitation. However, GCMs in CMIP6 and CMIP5 show similar increases in mean and peak streamflow. Moreover, GCMs in CMIP6 show less inter-model variability for streamflow in southern and northeastern China, but more in central China, which is consistent to that for precipitation after bias correction. Overall, this comparison provides the consistency of future change and uncertainty in predicted streamflow with climate simulations, which bring confidence for hydrological impact studies using CMIP6.
On the role of land-surface hydrology schemes in simulating the daily maximum and minimum air temperatures of Australia using a regional climate model (RegCM4)
Authors: A. Anwar Samy , Srivastava Ankur , Zerouali Bilel 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe present study addresses the possible effects of soil moisture changes on the simulated daily maximum and minimum air temperatures of Australia for a duration of 13 years. Therefore, the community land model version 4.5 (CLM4.5; coupled to the RegCM4) was used to represent the soil moisture and processes associated with it. The CLM4.5 has two land-surface hydrology schemes: TOPMODEL (TOP) and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) and two simulations were conducted, namely: TOP and VIC. The results showed that VIC has lower soil moisture than TOP, leading to a decrease in vegetation transpiration, evaporation, and an increase in soil evaporation relative to TOP. However, there is no considerable difference between the two simulations compared with reanalysis products. In comparison to in-situ measurements, the RegCM4 can reasonably model the climatological annual cycle of mean air temperature (TMP) and its performance varies with the study site (e.g., RegCM4 overestimates TMP by 2.76 and 5.46 °C at Yanco and Tumbarumba, respectively). In summary, the simulated maximum and minimum air temperatures are sensitive to the physical parameterization of RegCM4 rather than variations in soil moisture. Likewise, improvements to the land-surface hydrology schemes TOP/VIC are required to better model Australia's daily maximum and minimum air temperatures.
Floating immobilized TiO2 catalyst for the solar photocatalytic treatment of micro-pollutants within the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants
Authors: Mehling Simon , Schnabel Tobias , Dutschke Manuel , Londong Jörg 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Floating immobilized spherical titanium dioxide catalysts were used to degrade micro-pollutants by solar photocatalysis. The degradation of the micro-pollutants was performed in the secondary effluent of a wastewater treatment plant. During the experimental period, the continuous measurement of the solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation intensity was performed. The micro-pollutants were degraded to an average of 55% after 9 h of irradiation. A substance-specific degradation affinity was found, whereby degradation rates varied by a factor of up to 3.5. The substance-specific adsorption behavior was identified as a major limitation of the reaction performance. With an increasing influence of adsorption limitation, the degradation kinetics changed from the pseudo-first order to pseudo-zero order. A correlation between degradation rate and solar irradiance could only be found for substances with high degradation/adsorption affinity. For diclofenac, a 95% degradation rate could be achieved at a radiation dose of approximately 190 mWh/m². The investigated technology represents a promising possibility for a minimally invasive extension of wastewater treatment plants. Possibilities of implication were estimated and discussed within this work, whereby possibilities arise for large-scale as well as decentral treatment plants.
Effects of Community-potential Factors on the Quality of Life of Urban Elderly of Bangkok Metropolitan
Authors: Thongsri Praleena , Jai-aree Apichart , Srisuantang Sunti 
Published: March 2023

Background:
The population structure in Thailand has changed to an elderly society. The promotion of quality of life for the urban elderly is essential in order to prepare them to become sustainable community members.

Objective:
This study aimed at evaluating the effects related to the community-potential factors on the quality of life of urban elderly and developing the guidelines for the capacity of the community to enhance the quality of life of urban elderly.

Methods:
A mixed-method approach was utilized in two steps. In the first step, quantitative data were collected from 56 elderly people and their caregivers living in an urban area. This data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. In the second step, the qualitative data were also gathered with a semi-structured interview and community surveys from 36 key informants consisting of community leaders, elderly people, partner agencies, community representative groups, public-sector agencies, educational institutions, and people from the civil-society sector to form a focused group in order to analyze their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). Content analysis was carried out to analyze this data.

Results:
The levels of quality of life among the elderly living in the Chan-Kasem community were high. The community potential factors influencing the quality of life of the urban elderly were also high. Results of regression analysis showed that one variable factor affected the quality of life in the elderly (12.6%).

Conclusion:
Three guideline themes for determining the capacity of the community to enhance the quality of life of the urban elderly were found: 1) building a community network and a community learning process to generate a volunteer group in order to incorporate and solve the elderly’s problems, 2) increasing the capacity and promoting the livelihoods of the elderly, and 3) constructing elderly awareness as a valuable human resource of the community.
Complex Interventions Across Primary and Secondary Care to Optimize Population Kidney Health
Authors: Taylor Dominic M. , Nimmo Ailish M. , Caskey Fergus J. , Johnson Rachel , Pippias Maria , Melendez-Torres G.J. 
Published: March 2023

Background
CKD affects 850 million people worldwide and is associated with high risk of kidney failure and death. Existing, evidence-based treatments are not implemented in at least a third of eligible patients, and there is socioeconomic inequity in access to care. While interventions aiming to improve delivery of evidence-based care exist, these are often complex, with intervention mechanisms acting and interacting in specific contexts to achieve desired outcomes.

Methods
We undertook realist synthesis to develop a model of these context-mechanism-outcome interactions. We included references from two existing systematic reviews and from database searches. Six reviewers produced a long list of study context-mechanism-outcome configurations based on review of individual studies. During group sessions, these were synthesized to produce an integrated model of intervention mechanisms, how they act and interact to deliver desired outcomes, and in which contexts these mechanisms work.

Results
Searches identified 3371 relevant studies, of which 60 were included, most from North America and Europe. Key intervention components included automated detection of higher-risk cases in primary care with management advice to general practitioners, educational support, and non–patient-facing nephrologist review. Where successful, these components promote clinician learning during the process of managing patients with CKD, promote clinician motivation to take steps toward evidence-based CKD management, and integrate dynamically with existing workflows. These mechanisms have the potential to result in improved population kidney disease outcomes and cardiovascular outcomes in supportive contexts (organizational buy-in, compatibility of interventions, geographical considerations). However, patient perspectives were unavailable and therefore did not contribute to our findings.

Conclusions
This systematic review and realist synthesis describes how complex interventions work to improve delivery of CKD care, providing a framework within which future interventions can be developed. Included studies provided insight into the functioning of these interventions, but patient perspectives were lacking in available literature.
