Market Reaction to CEOs’ Dynamic Hemifacial Asymmetry of Expressions
Authors: Banker Rajiv D. , Ding Hui , Huang Rong , Li Xiaorong 
Published: September 2023

Neuropsychological studies propose that listeners unconsciously assess speakers’ trustworthiness via their facial expressions. Building on this theory, we investigate how investors respond to CEOs’ dynamic hemifacial asymmetry of expressions (HFAsy) shown in CNBC’s video interviews about corporate earnings. Consistent with the neuropsychological prediction that facial asymmetry induces distrust, we document that (1) the stock market reacts negatively to the CEO’s HFAsy shown in the interview video, and (2) the market reaction to favorable earnings news is negatively associated with the CEO’s HFAsy. We also find a significantly positive association between the short-window abnormal bid-ask spreads and HFAsy, suggesting a larger investor disagreement for firms with high-HFAsy CEOs. Furthermore, we show that analyst forecast revisions are negatively associated with CEOs’ HFAsy. Our results are robust to conducting a falsification test using the previous quarter as a pseudo-event, employing an alternative measure of HFAsy, and using more granular trading data at the second level. Overall, our study provides evidence that investor trust and trading behavior are affected by the dynamic hemifacial asymmetry of expressions appearing on CEOs’ faces.

Thematic analysis was undertaken by three critical care pharmacists.Findings:The major themes identified as barriers to an independent second check were: geography of the critical care unit; IT; routine; complex process; and personnel.Conclusion:There are complex barriers to undertaking a robust second check and addressing some of these could improve patient safety.
Highly efficient silicon mode converter and polarization rotator using a silicon-based hybrid plasmonic waveguide
Authors: Abu-Elmaaty Basma E. , Shalaby Hossam M. H. 
Published: September 2023

We propose and numerically analyze a broadband, ultracompact hybrid plasmonic mode converter/polarization rotator. The proposed device converts the fundamental transverse magnetic mode (TM0) to the first-order transverse electric mode (TE1). The mode converter is designed using a tapered hybrid plasmonic waveguide in which metal parts are directly surrounding both the input Si waveguide and the tapered output waveguide without a thin low-index layer. After optimizing the proposed structure, a TM0-to-TE1 mode converter with a modal conversion efficiency of 98.2% is achieved. A broad operating bandwidth of 100 nm is achieved with a compact footprint of only 0.8µm×12.5µm for the whole device. At a wavelength of 1550 nm, the insertion loss ranges from 0.91 dB to 1.19 dB using different metal materials, and the extinction ratio of the TE1 and TM0 modes is higher than 21 dB in the output Si waveguide.

Published: September 2023

Owing to their unique optical properties and new degrees of freedom, orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams have been applied in various fields. Detection of the topological charges (TCs) of OAM beams is the key step for their applications. However, on-chip sorting of OAM beams with large TCs still remains a challenge. In this paper, Bloch surface wave (BSW) structures with five semi-ring shaped nanoslits are modeled. A spatial separation of 135 nm on the chip is obtained between two neighboring OAM states. OAM beams with TCs up to 35 can be successfully sorted by the BSW structures, which is much larger than that using metallic structures (only seven). BSW structures exhibit better OAM sorting performances than metallic structures. We systematically show how the lower attenuation of BSW structures leads to far superior separation ability compared to surface plasmons propagating on metallic structures. In addition, sorting of two OAM beams with different TCs simultaneously can be achieved in this way. Our results reveal that BSW structures should be an excellent solution for OAM sorting with large TCs, which is beneficial for applications in integrated on-chip devices and optical communications.

Published: September 2023

Objectives
This study aimed to characterize the content of frequently asked questions about the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the internet in Japan and to evaluate the quality of websites related to the questions.

Methods
We searched terms on the treatment of RA on Google and extracted frequently asked questions generated by the Google "people also ask" function. The website that answered each question was also obtained. We categorized the questions based on the content. The quality of the websites was evaluated using the brief DISCERN, Journal of American Medical Association benchmark criteria, and Clear Communication Index.

Results
Our search yielded 83 questions and the corresponding websites. The most frequently asked questions were regarding the timeline of treatment (n = 17, 23%) and those on the timeline of the clinical course (n = 13, 16%). The median score of brief DISCERN was 11 points, with only 7 (8%) websites having sufficient quality. Websites having sufficient quality based on the Journal of American Medical Association benchmark criteria and Clear Communication Index were absent.

Conclusions
The questions were most frequently related to the timeline of treatment and clinical course. Physicians should provide such information to patients with RA in the counseling and education materials.

INTRODUCTION:
The prognostic value of the modified Rutgeerts score (mRS) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) needs to be further elucidated. This study assessed the prognostic value of the mRS for long-term outcomes after primary ileocecal resection in patients with CD.

METHODS:
Patients with CD after primary ileocecal resection with an available mRS at first postoperative ileocolonoscopy (index mRS) were retrospectively included. The primary outcome was surgical recurrence. Secondary outcomes were clinical recurrence and progression to severe endoscopic recurrence (≥i3). Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between index mRS and outcomes.

RESULTS:
Six hundred fifty-two patients were included (mean follow-up: 6.4 years, SD: 4.6). Surgical recurrence rates were 7.7%, 5.3%, 12.9%, 19.1%, 28.8%, 47.8% for index mRS i0, i1, i2a, i2b, i3, and i4, respectively. Clinical recurrence occurred in 42.2% (i0), 53.7% (i1), 58.5% (i2a), 80.2% (i2b), 79.4% (i3), and 95.3% (i4) of patients. Progression to severe endoscopic recurrence occurred in 21.1% (i0), 33.9% (i1), 26.8% (i2a), and 33.3% (i2b) of patients. An index mRS of i2b (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.0; 1.5–5.6), i3 (aHR 4.0; 2.0–7.9) and i4 (aHR 8.0; 4.0–16.0) were associated with surgical recurrence. An index mRS of i1 (aHR 1.7; 1.2–2.4), i2a (aHR 1.7; 1.2–2.4), i2b (aHR 4.4; 3.2–6.0), i3 (aHR 3.6; 2.5–5.2), and i4 (aHR 7.3; 4.8–10.9) were associated with clinical recurrence. An index mRS of i1 (aHR 2.0; 1.1–3.7) or i2b (aHR 2.5; 1.4–4.6) was associated with progression to severe endoscopic recurrence.

DISCUSSION:
The increasing mRS corresponds closely with the risk of surgical and clinical recurrence. An index mRS ≥ i2b is associated with surgical recurrence, an index mRS ≥ i1 is associated with clinical recurrence, and i1 or i2b with progression to severe endoscopic recurrence. These results support tight monitoring of disease activity and treatment optimization in patients with ileal lesions and a more conservative management in patients with anastomotic lesions.
Technical assessment of power interface to utilize untapped power of decentralized solar pumps for positive impact in livelihoods

Published: September 2023

Abstract
This paper proposes the implementation of a power electronics interface for driving agricultural loads. The interface would utilize the untapped power generated by pre-installed solar-photovoltaic (SPV) based pumping systems during non-pumping periods. This architecture is used to increase the percentage utilization of the SPV pumping system, which is currently at around 50 %. The implemented system includes a dual stage converter, consisting of a boost converter and an H-bridge inverter, to facilitate the interface between low-voltage (LV) SPV systems and single-phase AC agricultural loads, while maintaining the desired voltage level. The key advantage of this system is its transformer less operation to boost SPV output from 90 V DC to 220 V AC, resulting in reduced size and cost. This paper presents an analysis of the operating modes, system modeling, validation in simulation, and experimental implementation of 1 kW system. Additionally, an improved step-size perturb and observe (P&O) technique is employed in the implemented interface to extract optimum power from a SPV. This interface is suitable for incorporating an off-grid SPV pump to power other loads during non-pumping and sunny hours. Furthermore, a comparison of the proposed interface with existing structures demonstrates operational superiority. Furthermore, the system can be efficiently used to drive various single-phase agrarian loads for farmers’ use in unelectrified remote areas.

AbstractSpoken language contains information at a broad range of timescales, from phonetic distinctions on the order of milliseconds to semantic contexts which shift over seconds to minutes. It is not well understood how the brain’s speech production systems combine features at these timescales into a coherent vocal output. We investigated the spatial and temporal representations in cerebral cortex of three phonological units with different durations: consonants, vowels, and syllables. Electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings were obtained from five participants while speaking single syllables. We developed a novel clustering and Kalman filter-based trend analysis procedure to sort electrodes into temporal response profiles. A linear discriminant classifier was used to determine how strongly each electrode’s response encoded phonological features. We found distinct time-courses of encoding phonological units depending on their duration: consonants were represented more during speech preparation, vowels were represented evenly throughout trials, and syllables during production. Locations of strongly speech-encoding electrodes (the top 30% of electrodes) likewise depended on phonological element duration, with consonant-encoding electrodes left-lateralized, vowel-encoding hemispherically balanced, and syllable-encoding right-lateralized. The lateralization of speech-encoding electrodes depended on onset time, with electrodes active before or after speech production favoring left hemisphere and those active during speech favoring the right. Single-electrode speech classification revealed cortical areas with preferential encoding of particular phonemic elements, including consonant encoding in the left precentral and postcentral gyri and syllable encoding in the right middle frontal gyrus. Our findings support neurolinguistic theories of left hemisphere specialization for processing short-timescale linguistic units and right hemisphere processing of longer-duration units.

Published: September 2023

AbstractPlant noncoding RNA transcripts have gained increasing attention in recent years due to growing evidence that they can regulate developmental plasticity. In this review article, we comprehensively analyze the relationship between noncoding RNA transcripts in plants and their response to environmental cues. We first provide an overview of the various noncoding transcript types, including long and small RNAs, and how the environment modulates their performance. We then highlight the importance of noncoding RNA secondary structure for their molecular and biological functions. Finally, we discuss recent studies that have unveiled the functional significance of specific long noncoding transcripts and their molecular partners within ribonucleoprotein complexes during development and in response to biotic and abiotic stress. Overall, this review sheds light on the fascinating and complex relationship between dynamic noncoding transcription and plant environmental responses, and highlights the need for further research to uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms and exploit the potential of noncoding transcripts for crop resilience in the context of global warming.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Standardized review of mortalities may identify potential system improvements. We designed a hospitalwide identification, review, and notification system for inpatient pediatric mortalities.

METHODS
Key stakeholders constructed a future state process map for identification and review of deaths. An online mortality review form was modified through a series of Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles and spread to all pediatric services in January 2019. Mortalities occurring within 30 days of discharge were added in December 2019. Our primary outcome was percentage of mortalities reviewed, and the process measure was time to review completion. Additional Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were used to refine 2 mechanisms for monthly notification of deaths. We surveyed monthly mortality notification e-mail recipients to elicit feedback to further improve notifications.

RESULTS
After the pilot, 284 of 328 (86.6%) of mortalities were reviewed. Average time to review completion decreased by 49% compared with baseline after an increase during the first year of the pandemic. Qualitative analysis of a subset of these mortalities showed that 154 of 229 (67.2%) underwent further review. We added a summary of mortalities by unit to a monthly hospitalwide safety report and developed monthly mortality notification e-mails. The survey showed that 89% of respondents (70 of 79) learned about a death they did not know about, 58% (46 of 79) sought additional information through discussion with a colleague, and 76% (65 of 86) agreed that the notifications helped process grief.

CONCLUSIONS
We describe an effective and well-received approach to the identification, review, and notification of mortalities at an academic pediatric hospital, which may be useful at other institutions.
Developing Cosmopolitanism Through Intercultural Mediation Activities: An After-School Digital Storytelling Project in Catalonia
Authors: Zhang Miaomiao 
Published: September 2023

This article analyzes interaction taking place in an after-school digital storytelling project, involving a group of teenagers in Catalonia, Spain, with different lingua-cultural backgrounds. It focuses on intercultural mediation activities carried out in one of the early project sessions in which a young girl of Ghanaian origin mobilizes her previous life experience to mediate, for her local peers in Catalonia, understanding of a video produced by Ugandan youth. The data is transcribed and analyzed using a multimodal conversation analytic perspective. Drawing on the theoretical concepts of intercultural mediation, cosmopolitanism, and funds of knowledge, this article investigates the following: (a) how the girl mobilizes her funds of knowledge to mediate the content of the video and the other audience members and, (b) how cosmopolitanism is developed in intercultural mediation. The article also touches on how intercultural mediation is collaboratively constructed across modes, languages, and material objects. The findings indicate that the young participants’ cosmopolitan stances are enacted and enabled in intercultural mediation, as the youngsters can make sense of cultural concepts that they can not tackle as well on their own. The findings further help to reconceptualize the competences, knowledge, and resources of youth in the superdiverse and interconnected world.
Robust and Reliable Security Approach for IoMT: Detection of DoS and Delay Attacks through a High-Accuracy Machine Learning Model

Published: September 2023

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT ) refers to the network of medical devices and healthcare systems that are connected to the internet. However, this connectivity also makes IoMT vulnerable to cyberattacks such as DoS and Delay attacks , posing risks to patient safety, data security, and public trust. Early detection of these attacks is crucial to prevent harm to patients and system malfunctions. In this paper, we address the detection and mitigation of DoS and Delay attacks in the IoMT using machine learning techniques. To achieve this objective, we constructed an IoMT network scenario using Omnet++ and recorded network traffic data. Subsequently, we utilized this data to train a set of common machine learning algorithms. Additionally, we proposed an Enhanced Random Forest Classifier for Achieving the Best Execution Time (ERF-ABE), which aims to achieve high accuracy and sensitivity as well as low execution time for detecting these types of attacks in IoMT networks. This classifier combines the strengths of random forests with optimization techniques to enhance performance. Based on the results, the execution time has been reduced by implementing ERF-ABE, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and sensitivity.
A Generalized Renyi Joint Entropy Method for the Detection of DDoS Attacks in IoT
Authors: Mathew Jeethu , Priyadarsini R Jemima 
Published: September 2023

Internet of things connects all the smart devices with internet and gain more information in comparison with other systems. Since different types of objects are connected, privacy and security of the users must be ensured. Because of the decentralised nature, IoT is prone to different types of attacks which are either active or passive. Since internet is the main part of IoT, the security issues present in Internet will be available in the Internet of Things too. Distributed denial of service is a major threat of this type and a critical threat. It reduces the performance of the complete network even it breaks entire communication. For this reason many researches have been made in this area to detect Distributed Denial of Service attack. Entropy-based approaches to identify DDoS attacks in the internet of things are discussed in this research. This new approach is based on the GRJE method, which stands for generalised Renyi joint entropy. Renyi joint entropy is used in the suggested approach to analyse network traffic flow. The suggested method is put into practise and evaluated against other methods based on a few factors. Results from an analysis of the suggested system's effectiveness in NS2 are reported in this study.
