Une carrière byzantine de Charlemagne. Échos de droit vulgaire romano-gothique au Moyen Âge
Authors: Cortese Ennio 
Published: March 2023

En 754 Pépin le Bref fut sacré in regem et patritium avec ses fils. Il n’est pas croyable que le pape Étienne II ait réitéré tel quel le sacre en roi des Francs que Pépin avait déjà reçu en 751 et qui lui avait conféré un ordo indélébile. L’objet dut être différent : ou un patriciat élevé au rang royal ou tout au plus la royauté des Francs enrichie du patriciat. Le patrice par excellence et protecteur de Rome étant l’exarque, c’est à ce poste (qui était vacant) que le pape dut nommer Pépin et ses fils. Par l’unctio il traita l’exarchat en royaume et put ainsi remplacer par un rite religieux la nomination impériale. Les titres de roi (reiks gothique) et de patrice avaient déjà été accouplés au Bas-Empire et arborés par les commandants foederati ; beaucoup plus tard cela fut encore le cas des rois-patrices de Croatie. Le sacre impérial de Charlemagne a été parfois considéré (Annales Regni Francorum)
comme une promotion du patritius-exarque au rang d’empereur romain, c’est-à-dire comme l’aboutissement d’une carrière byzantine.

Entella : la necropoli islamica di Contrada Petraro : antropologia e paleopatologia per l’analisi storicoarcheologica di un gruppo umano
Authors: Spatafora Francesca , Di Salvo Rosaria , Schimmenti Vittoria 
Published: March 2023

La scoperta della necropoli di rito islamico in Contrada Petraro, alle pendici settentrionali della Rocca d’Entella, è certamente determinante per la conoscenza della frequentazione del sito durante la dominazione musulmana. Sono state in tutto scoperte ventuno tombe monosome : si tratta di semplici fosse disposte con criteri di assoluta regolarità sia per quanto riguarda l’organizzazione dello spazio funerario che relativamente all’orientamento. I defunti sono seppelliti secondo il tipico rituale islamico, in decubito laterale destro, con gli arti distesi o flessi ed il volto rivolto a Sud/ Sud-Est. Si tratta di una vera e propria maqbara situata in prossimità di un importante accesso alla città, secondo un uso ampiamente attestato in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo e documentato, anche ad Entella, dalla Necropoli A, situata sul pendio meridionale della Rocca. Sotto il profilo antropologico, il gruppo – composto da 13 uomini, 8 donne ed un
infans – risulta abbastanza eterogeneo ed è riconducibile a tipologie mediterranee e berbere.
Effect of time-modulation bias on polysilicon gate etching
Authors: Morimoto Michikazu , Tanaka Motohiro , Koga Kazunori , Shiratani Masaharu 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The etching characteristics were studied via time-modulation bias (bias pulsing) by varying the pulsing parameters. The etch profiles were verified using polysilicon gate structures with dense and isolated patterns. Ion energy was defined as the peak-to-peak voltage (V
pp) controlled by the RF bias power. The durations of the on period and off period (off time) of bias pulsing were adjusted by the pulse frequency and duty cycle. Profile evolution was observed in the variations in V
pp and off time. Increasing the ion energy induced vertical profiles of dense patterns and the tapered profiles of isolated patterns. Extending the off time of bias pulsing induced tapered profiles of dense patterns and vertical profiles of isolated patterns. These results indicated that increasing the ion energy and pulse off time simultaneously was the direction to achieve anisotropic etch profiles for both the isolated and dense patterns.
Generalized Sparse Regression Codes for Short Block Lengths
Authors: Kumar Sinha Madhusudan , kannu arun pachai 
Published: March 2023

<p>Sparse regression codes (SPARC) connect the sparse signal recovery framework of compressive sensing with error control coding techniques. SPARC encoding produces codewords which are \emph{sparse} linear combinations of columns of a dictionary matrix. SPARC decoding is accomplished using sparse signal recovery algorithms. We construct dictionary matrices using Gold codes and mutually unbiased bases and develop suitable generalizations of SPARC (GSPARC). We develop a greedy decoder, referred as match and decode (MAD) algorithm and provide its analytical noiseless recovery guarantees. We propose a parallel greedy search technique, referred as parallel MAD (PMAD), to improve the performance. We describe the applicability of GSPARC with PMAD decoder for multi-user channels, providing a non-orthogonal multiple access scheme. We present numerical results comparing the block error rate (BLER) performance of the proposed algorithms for GSPARC in AWGN channels, in the short block length regime. The PMAD decoder gives better BLER than the approximate message passing decoder for SPARC. GSPARC with PMAD gives comparable and competitive BLER performance, when compared to other existing codes. In multi-user channels, GSPARC with PMAD decoder outperforms the sphere packing lower bounds of an orthogonal multiple access scheme, which has the same spectral efficiency.</p>

Background: Currently, there are at least 2.2 billion people worldwide with visual impairment, of whom at least 1 billion have preventable or untreated vision loss. The world faces major challenges in ophthalmology. This includes inequalities in the coverage and quality of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation services. shortage of qualified ophthalmologists; poor integration of eye care services into the health care system, among other problems; Therefore, we conduct this study.
Aim: To identify the causes of visual impairment in Kerbala province, Iraq with view to address the treatment and challenges may face during the action.
Methods: The study was a cross-sectional , 200 patients who attended the ophthalmology outpatient clinic in AL- Hussien Teaching hospital, Kerbala province, Iraq were enrolled, aged 20 and above. Data was collected by interviewing the patients and filling out the questionnaire from July 2019 until June 2020. In addition, we observed visual acuity measurement (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and ophthalmological examination of the patients
Results: The main leading cause was a refractive error with 99 individual (51.3%) followed by cataract 26 (13.5% ). Refractive errors and cataract together were 24 (12.4%), allergy 14 (7.3), infection 12 (6.2%), age-related macular degeneration 12 (6.23%) and lastly glaucoma was only 6 (3.1%).
According to the age group, 34 (17.6%) were between (17-39), followed by 102 (52.8%) between (40-59) and 57 (29.5%) between (60-89). In all these three groups RE was also the main diagnosis, 24 (70.6%) , 7 (55.9%) and 18 (31.6%) respectively. According to the smoking habit, 159 (82.4%) were nonsmoker, 14 (7.3%) were ex-smokers, 5 (2.6%) were light smokers (reported consumption of ≤5 cigarettes per day), moderate smokers (1 day for smoking 8 (4.1%) reported consuming 11 to 19 cigarettes per day ) , heavy smokers (reported smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day) 7 (3.6%) ز
As regards systemic disease, we found that 80 (41.5%) of patients have hypertension and 63 (32.6%) were diabetics.
Conclusions: We found that refractive errors were the most common cause of reduced visual acuity followed by cataracts. Cataracts are the most frequent cause of visual impairment in older people.
The Optical to Infrared Extinction Law of Magellanic Clouds Based on Red Supergiants and Classical Cepheids
Authors: Wang Shu , Chen Xiaodian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Precise interstellar dust extinction laws are important to infer the intrinsic properties of reddened objects and correctly interpret observations. In this work, we attempt to measure the optical–infrared extinction laws of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) by using red supergiant (RSG) stars and classical Cepheids as extinction tracers. The spectroscopic RSG samples are constructed based on the APOGEE spectral parameters, Gaia astrometric data, and multiband photometry. We establish the effective temperature–intrinsic color relations for RSG stars and determine the color excess ratio (CER) E(λ − G

Authors: Mathur Harsh , Nagaraju K. , Joshi Jayant , de la Cruz Rodríguez Jaime 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We investigated the diagnostic potential of the Stokes V profile of the Hα line to probe the chromospheric line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field (B
LOS) by comparing the B
LOS inferred from the weak field approximation (WFA) with that inferred from the multiline inversions of the Caii 8542 Å, Si i 8536 Å, and Fe i 8538 Å lines using the STiC inversion code. Simultaneous spectropolarimetric observations of a pore in the Ca ii 8542 Å and Hα spectral lines obtained from the SPINOR at the Dunn Solar Telescope on 2008 December 4 are used in this study. The WFA was applied on the Stokes I and V profiles of Hα line over three wavelength ranges, viz., around line core (Δλ = ±0.35 Å), line wings (Δλ = [−1.5, −0.6], and [+0.6, +1.5] Å), and full spectral range of the line (Δλ = ± 1.5 Å) to derive the B
LOS. We found the maximum B

La présente recherche n’a pas été subventionnée. Cependant, le développement de la plateforme ARTIREV est actuellement soutenu par une bourse « French tech Emergence #x00BB;, Dossier No. DOS0194751/00, de BPI France. Dans le contexte actuel de surcharge informationnelle scientifique, les chercheurs et les praticiens pourraient tirer profit d’un logiciel bibliométrique intégré pour les aider à conduire leurs revues de la littérature existante. En utilisant une approche de recherche ancrée dans les sciences de la conception ainsi que deux techniques bibliométriques (l’analyse de co-citation de références citées et l’analyse de couplage bibliographique de documents citant), nous proposons un workflow détaillé pour conduire des revues de littérature et un logiciel intégré nommé ARTIREV (Intelligence ARTI ficielle et REV ues de littérature) que nous évaluons dans les champs du management et de la médecine. Nous montrons qu’ARTIREV résout trois problèmes identifiés dans les outils existants. Ces problèmes dans les outils existants sont : (1) la nécessité d’avoir des connaissances bibliométriques approfondies pour pouvoir effectivement les utiliser ; (2) le nettoyage des données bibliographiques qu’ils proposent n’est pas suffisant pour obtenir des résultats fiables ; et (3) les représentations graphiques fournies sont visuellement plaisantes, mais souvent difficiles à interpréter. Le logiciel résultant de notre travail pourrait aider la conduite de revues de littérature pour tout type d’utilisateurs potentiels : chercheurs et praticiens, experts et néophytes en bibliométrie.

Authors: McCann Ryan S. , Welch Bacon Cailee E. , Suttmiller Ashley M. B. , Gribble Phillip A. , Cavallario Julie M. 
Published: March 2023

Context
Athletic trainers (ATs) inconsistently apply rehabilitation-oriented assessments (ROASTs) when deciding return-to-activity readiness for patients with an ankle sprain. Facilitators and barriers that are most influential to ATs’ assessment selection remain unknown.

Objective
To examine facilitators of and barriers to ATs’ selection of outcome assessments when determining return-to-activity readiness for patients with an ankle sprain.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Setting
Online survey.

Patients or Other Participants
We sent an online survey to 10 000 clinically practicing ATs. The survey was accessed by 676 individuals, of whom 574 submitted responses (85% completion rate), and 541 respondents met the inclusion criteria.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The survey was designed to explore facilitators and barriers influencing ATs’ selection of pain; ankle-joint swelling, range of motion, arthrokinematics, and strength; balance; gait; functional capacity; physical activity level; and patient-reported outcome assessments when making return-to-activity decisions for patients after an ankle sprain. The survey asked for reasons that participants chose to use or not use each measure (eg, previous education, personal comfort, most appropriate, available or feasible, perceived value, and other). The survey contained 12 demographic items that characterized the sample of respondents and were examined as potential influences on the facilitators and barriers. Chi-square analysis was used to identify relationships among participant demographics and facilitators of or barriers to assessment selection.

Results
Selection of each ROAST and non-ROAST was most commonly facilitated by previous education, availability or feasibility, or perceived value. Avoidance of each ROAST was most often caused by the lack of previous education, availability or feasibility, or perceived value. The presence of facilitators and barriers was affected by various demographic variables.

Conclusions
A variety of facilitators and barriers affected ATs’ implementation of expert-recommended assessments when determining return-to-activity readiness in patients with an ankle sprain. Some subpopulations of ATs experienced more favorable or prohibitive conditions for assessment use.
A Cross-sectional Observational Study to Assess the Prevalence and Distribution of Ophthalmological Comorbidities Among Nursing Personnel in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Sinharay Angana , Srivastava Smiti R. , Ganguly Purban , Ayub Asif , Bhunia Jit , Ghosh Asim K. 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Higher incidence of ill health among the nurses may jeopardize the performance of any hospital. Irony of the situation is that despite being at the center of the healthcare delivery apparatus, there is a strong element of neglect about the health issues of the nursing community.

Objectives:
This study aims to observe and analyze the pattern of ophthalmological morbidity among nursing care personnel in a tertiary care hospital in eastern India.

Materials and Methods:
Five hundred and thirty nursing personnel at the tertiary care hospital underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination and as and when required underwent ophthalmic investigations after eliciting proper history.

Results:
The mean age of the study population was 48.6 ± 0.8 years. The majority (86%) had mild or no visual impairment (P < 0.00, χ
2: 51.8). The uncorrected refractive error was found to be the common cause of visual impairment (51%) among the study population. About 80% of the study population having visual impairment had reversible causes (P < 0.00, χ
2: 37); 87% of the study population with visual impairment were not aware of their visual condition (P < 0.00, χ
2: 54.8). Around 78% of the study population had not undergone comprehensive ophthalmological examination in the last 12 months (P < 0.00, χ
2: 31.4).

Conclusion:
Regular comprehensive ophthalmological examination and necessary intervention can lead to prevention of visual impairment among the nursing personnel. This is essential for providing, maintaining, and escalating the level of patient care delivery in any tertiary care hospital.

Published: March 2023

Aim:
To assess the effectiveness of Braille and audio tactile performance (ATP) aid in improving oral hygiene status of visually impaired students.

Materials and Methods:
Randomized interventional study was conducted among 220 institutionalized visually impaired students aged 8–18 years for a period of 9 months. Study participants were divided into two groups, Group I (Braille) and Group II (ATP). Oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) was used to assess their oral hygiene status at baseline and post intervention at the end of 9 months. Health education as intervention was given in Braille and ATP aid once in 2 months. Pre- and post-intervention OHI-S scores were compared.

Results:
The mean OHI-S scores in Group I reduced from 1.83 ± 0.68 to 1.79 ± 0.67, and P value was not found to be statistically significant (P = 0.21). Group II OHI-S scores reduced from 1.8 ± 0.66 to 1.75 ± 0.65, and P value was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.03).

Conclusion:
This study concluded visually impaired students can maintain an acceptable level of oral hygiene when taught using ATP technique.

Published: March 2023

Objective:
Imaging examination, tumor marker detection, bladder biopsy, and other methods are the common methods for the diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC). This study was aimed to assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of BC.

Materials and Methods:
Fifty-nine patients with BC were recruited in our hospital from September 2012 to December 2015, who had CEUS and magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (MRI + DWI). All patients underwent surgical treatment and definite pathological stage. The series and parallel combined diagnosis methods were applied to calculate the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy through using quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results:
The accuracies of CEUS and MRI + DWI examination for T staging of BC were 74.6% and 76.3%, respectively. Compared with the single diagnostic methods, the two combined diagnosis accuracy was 91.5%, which was significantly improved in diagnosis accuracy (P < 0.05). The diagnostic accuracies of CEUS, MRI + DWI, and ADC for muscle invasion of BC were 81.4%, 83.1%, and 84.7%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of CEUS parallel combined with MRI + DWI (91.5%) was obviously enhanced, compared with that with the single diagnostic method.

Conclusion:
The accuracy of CEUS and MRI + DWI combined diagnosis was higher than that with the single diagnostic method. CEUS and MRI + DWI combined diagnosis was a feasible and effective method for the clinical diagnosis of BC.
Efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis in the main trunk
Authors: Wu Zhiqiang , Gao Jian , Zhuang Wenquan , Yang Jianyong , Guo Wenbo 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and the sixth most prevalent malignancy worldwide. The incidence of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) is recorded as high as 10%–60% in HCC patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in advanced HCC patients complicated with PVTT in the main trunk.

Patients and Methods:
A total of 33 HCC patients were treated with TACE + HAIC or TACE, respectively. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), while the secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) of HCC lesions and PVTT in the trunk. Adverse events and main complications were also investigated. A COX model was used to identify the risk factors associated with OS.

Results:
There were 16 patients receiving TACE + HAIC and 17 receiving TACE. The median OS was longer in the TACE + HAIC group than the TACE group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the ORR and DCR of HCC lesions and PVTT response between the two groups (P > 0.05). Alpha-fetoprotein was <400 ng/ml. Multivariate analysis showed that cavernous transformation of portal vein was associated with longer OS. In terms of complications, the addition of HAIC showed more myelosuppression than the TACE alone group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Compared with TACE alone, HAIC + TACE may be more safe and provide more benefits for HCC patients complicated with PVTT in the trunk.
