. The transformations of these integrals are evaluated in terms of the Appell, Kampé de Fériet and the triple hypergeometric functions. As an application, we studied propagation of generalized Humbert–Gaussian beams (GHGBs) and hypergeometric-Gaussian beams (HyGGBs) in turbulent atmosphere and through an ABCD paraxial optical system. The evaluation of these integral transforms has
initiated a great interest in mathematical physics and its applications to laser physics and linear or non-linear optics.

Improved implementation of medical tests – barriers and opportunities
Authors: St John Andrew , O’Kane Maurice , Jülicher Paul , Price Christopher P. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Applying the concept of a value proposition to medical testing is just one of the many ways to identify and monitor the value of tests. A key part of this concept focusses on processes that should take place after a test is introduced into routine local practice, namely test implementation. This process requires identification of the clinical pathway, the stakeholders and the benefits or disbenefits that accrue to those stakeholders. There are various barriers and challenges to test implementation. Implementation requires the process of clinical audit which involves measurement of outcomes external to the laboratory but this is not widely performed in laboratory medicine. A second key challenge is that implementation requires liaison with stakeholders outside of the laboratory including clinicians and other healthcare professional such as finance managers. Many laboratories are remote from clinical care and other stakeholders making such liaison difficult. The implementation process is based on data which again will be primarily on processes outside of the laboratory. However the recent enthusiasm for so-called real world data and new data mining techniques may represent opportunities that will facilitate better test implementation. A final barrier is that a range of new tools not currently in the education curriculum of the laboratory professional is required for implementation such as those of preparing a business case to support the introduction of a test and health economic analysis. The professional bodies in laboratory medicine could assist with education in these areas.
Trigonometric Hermite interpolation method for Fredholm linear integral equations
Authors: Ajeddar Mohamed , Lamnii Abdellah 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a new trigonometric composite Hermite interpolation method for solving Fredholm linear integral equations. This operator approximates locally both the function and its derivative, which is known on the subdivision nodes. Then we derive a class of quadrature rules with endpoint corrections based on integrating the composite Hermite interpolant. We also provide error estimation and numerical examples to illustrate that this new operator can provide highly accurate results.
Development and implementation of branching random walk on spheres algorithms for solving the 2D elastostatics Lamé equation
Authors: Shalimova Irina , Sabelfeld Karl K. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we address a long-standing open problem in stochastic simulation: construction of a random walk on spheres (RWS) algorithm for solving a system of elasticity equations, known as the Lamé equation. Many attempts to generalize the classic probabilistic representations like the Kac formula for parabolic and scalar elliptic equations failed.
A different approach based on a branching random walk on spheres (BRWS) introduced in our paper of 1995
[K. K. Sabelfeld and D. Talay,
Integral formulation of the boundary value problems and the method of random walk on spheres,
Monte Carlo Methods Appl. 1 1995, 1, 1–34]
made little progress in solving this problem. In the present study, we further improve
the BRWS algorithm by a special implementation of a branching anisotropic random walk on spheres process.
A self-similar sine–cosine fractal architecture for multiport interferometers
Authors: Basani Jasvith Raj , Vadlamani Sri Krishna , Bandyopadhyay Saumil , Englund Dirk R. , Hamerly Ryan 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Multiport interferometers based on integrated beamsplitter meshes have recently captured interest as a platform for many emerging technologies. In this paper, we present a novel architecture for multiport interferometers based on the sine–cosine fractal decomposition of a unitary matrix. Our architecture is unique in that it is self-similar, enabling the construction of modular multi-chiplet devices. Due to this modularity, our design enjoys improved resilience to hardware imperfections as compared to conventional multiport interferometers. Additionally, the structure of our circuit enables systematic truncation, which is key in reducing the hardware footprint of the chip as well as compute time in training optical neural networks, while maintaining full connectivity. Numerical simulations show that truncation of these meshes gives robust performance even under large fabrication errors. This design is a step forward in the construction of large-scale programmable photonics, removing a major hurdle in scaling up to practical machine learning and quantum computing applications.
Photonic online learning: a perspective
Authors: Buckley Sonia Mary , Tait Alexander N. , McCaughan Adam N. , Shastri Bhavin J. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Emerging neuromorphic hardware promises to solve certain problems faster and with higher energy efficiency than traditional computing by using physical processes that take place at the device level as the computational primitives in neural networks. While initial results in photonic neuromorphic hardware are very promising, such hardware requires programming or “training” that is often power-hungry and time-consuming. In this article, we examine the online learning paradigm, where the machinery for training is built deeply into the hardware itself. We argue that some form of online learning will be necessary if photonic neuromorphic hardware is to achieve its true potential.
Nanophotonic quantum sensing with engineered spin-optic coupling
Authors: Kim Laura , Choi Hyeongrak , Trusheim Matthew E. , Wang Hanfeng , Englund Dirk R. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond provide a spin-based qubit system with long coherence time even at room temperature, making them suitable ambient-condition quantum sensors for quantities including electromagnetic fields, temperature, and rotation. The optically addressable level structures of NV spins allow transduction of spin information onto light-field intensity. The sub-optimal readout fidelity of conventional fluorescence measurement remains a significant drawback for room-temperature ensemble sensing. Here, we discuss nanophotonic interfaces that provide opportunities to achieve near-unity readout fidelity based on IR absorption via resonantly enhanced spin-optic coupling. Spin-coupled resonant nanophotonic devices are projected to particularly benefit applications that utilize micro- to nanoscale sensing volume and to outperform present methods in their volume-normalized sensitivity.
Study on manufacturing hot water-resistant PVOH coated paper by gas grafting palmitoyl chloride (II)–Control of palmitoyl chloride penetration by inorganic pigments coating
Authors: Lee Kwang-Seob , Choi Ji-Seon , Choi Kyoung-Hwa , Ryu Jeong-Yong 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this experiment, we explored how to control the penetration of palmitoyl chloride in the gas grafting of PVOH-coated paper. When calcium carbonate was pre-coated, the gas grafting reaction of the PVOH-coated paper tended to be inhibited. It is believed that palmitoyl chloride is additionally consumed by moisture generated when calcium carbonate neutralizes hydrochloric acid gas, a by-product of the graft reaction, thereby inhibiting the graft reaction and reducing the hydrophobization efficiency by generating unreacted residual free fatty acids. Unlike calcium carbonate, the clay coating layer blocks the penetration of vaporized palmitoyl chloride and improves the gas grafting density of PVOH without moisture generation. The PVOH coating layer, where vaporized palmitoyl chloride penetrates, is thinly processed to avoid unnecessary graft reactions in the thickness direction, and the propagation of palmitoyl chloride in the gas phase is blocked by the clay-coating layer. In previous studies, an excess of 1400 mg/m2 of palmitoyl chloride was required to secure strong hydrophobicity of less than 10 g/m2 of Cobb hot water absorption. However, by pre-coating the clay, only 650 mg/m2 of palmitoyl chloride, which was about a 53% reduction compared to previous studies, was sufficient to perform a strong hydrophobic treatment.

Authors: Liebig-Gonglach Michaela , Bednarz Hanna 
Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Nano- bzw. Mikroplastikpartikel (NMP) sind in nahezu allen Umweltkompartimenten nachgewiesen worden und auch in wichtigen Nahrungsquellen des Menschen, wie dem Trinkwasser, konnten NMP bereits festgestellt werden. Bisher ist eine gesundheitliche Risikofolgeabschätzung der Exposition des Menschen mit NMP aufgrund fehlender Qualitätsstandards zur Analytik nicht möglich. Der Bedarf an vergleichbaren, qualitativen und quantitativen Studien zur Ermittlung der (Trinkwasser-)Belastung ist daher hoch.

New imidazolium-based ionic liquids for mitigating carbon steel corrosion in acidic condition
Authors: Shaaban Munira S. , Shalabi Kamal , Fouda Abd El-Aziz S. , Deyab Mohamed A. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Two environmentally friendly inhibitors of imidazolium-based ionic liquids namely 3-benzyl-1-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (IL-H), and 3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (IL-Cl) were manufactured and their chemical structures were confirmed by spectra tools (FT-IR, and 1H NMR). The utilizing of these two new ionic liquids as green corrosion inhibitors for low carbon steel (LCS) in 1.0 M HCl under altered experimental conditions. Mass loss (ML), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface morphology are take place in this study. The protection performance found to increase with increasing ionic liquid dose and temperature, reaching 92.9% and 95.1% for IL-H and IL-Cl at 120 ppm, respectively. Based on the PP records, the investigated ionic liquids behave as mixed-type inhibitors, influencing both anodic and cathodic responses. The inhibitory activity from these explored ionic liquids was stimulated by their adsorption on the effective surfaces of the steel surface in accordance with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method is used to analyze the relationship between quantum chemical calculations and the protection efficiency of ionic liquids.

A force balance model for a cell size‐dependent meiotic nuclear oscillation in fission yeast
Authors: Fujita Ikumi , Kimura Akatsuki , Yamashita Akira 
Published: January 2023

AbstractFission yeast undergoes premeiotic nuclear oscillation, which is dependent on microtubules and is driven by cytoplasmic dynein. Although the molecular mechanisms have been analyzed, how a robust oscillation is generated despite the dynamic behaviors of microtubules has yet to be elucidated. Here, we show that the oscillation exhibits cell length‐dependent frequency and requires a balance between microtubule and viscous drag forces, as well as proper microtubule dynamics. Comparison of the oscillations observed in living cells with a simulation model based on microtubule dynamic instability reveals that the period of oscillation correlates with cell length. Genetic alterations that reduce cargo size suggest that the nuclear movement depends on viscous drag forces. Deletion of a gene encoding Kinesin‐8 inhibits microtubule catastrophe at the cell cortex and results in perturbation of oscillation, indicating that nuclear movement also depends on microtubule dynamic instability. Our findings link numerical parameters from the simulation model with cellular functions required for generating the oscillation and provide a basis for understanding the physical properties of microtubule‐dependent nuclear movements.

Parathyroid carcinoma is one of the least common endocrine malignancies and accounts for approximately 1% of all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published between January 2000 and March 2022 via Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EudraCT, ClinicalTrials.gov, CINAHL and SCOPUS was conducted. Manuscripts were eligible if they included data on adult non-pregnant populations with parathyroid carcinoma. No restrictions regarding interventions, comparators or duration of follow-up were imposed. Single case reports, reviews or meta-analyses were excluded. Outcomes of interest were molecular pathogenesis, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and overall survival. Study quality was evaluated using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale for observational studies.
This review included 75 studies from 17 countries, reporting on more than 3000 patients with parathyroid carcinoma. CDC73 mutation has been recognised as playing a pivotal role in molecular pathogenesis. Parathyroid carcinoma typically presents with markedly increased calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. The most frequently described symptoms were bone and muscle pain or weakness. En bloc resection remains the gold standard for the surgical approach. The 5-year overall survival ranged from 60 to 93%, with resistant hypercalcaemia a significant cause of mortality. Emerging evidence indicating that targeted therapy, based on molecular biomarkers, presents a novel treatment option. The rarity of PC and need for personalised treatment warrant multidisciplinary management in a ‘centre of excellence’ with a track record in PC management.
Survey on selenium clinical supplementation in autoimmune thyroid disease
Authors: Santos Liliana Ribeiro , Vasconcelos Bessa Inês , Gaspar da Rocha Adriana , Neves Celestino , Freitas Cláudia , Soares Paula 
Published: January 2023

Objective
Previous trials show that selenium could be a very useful tool in the control and treatment of autoimmune thyroid diseases. In this cross-sectional study, through a survey, we aim to evaluate Portuguese endocrinologists' perception and pattern of prescription of selenium supplements in these diseases and verify its agreement with current guidelines.

Methods
The endocrinologists registered in the Portuguese Medical Association were sent an email with a web-based questionnaire, regarding their knowledge and use of selenium supplements in thyroid autoimmune pathology.

Results
A total of 105 physicians (33% of the total) submitted the survey. The selenium serum concentration in the general population was unknown to 80% of respondents. Over a third of respondents have never prescribed selenium for autoimmune thyroid disease. However, 89% are not afraid of recommending it, and 61% indicate Graves’ orbitopathy as the pathology they would supplement. In Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, 36% of respondents use selenium occasionally or frequently, and this percentage rises to 60% in Graves’ disease.

Conclusions
Although recommendations only encompass mild Graves’ orbitopathy, selenium is prescribed across the spectrum of autoimmune thyroid diseases, probably due to recent studies that consistently show improvement of biochemical hallmarks in these patients. Further investigation is required on the impact of selenium supplements on primarily clinical outcomes and to identify disorders and/or patients who will benefit the most. Also, there is still insufficient knowledge of this field in the medical community, and evidence-based practice should continue to be promoted by endocrinology societies.
Lo monstruoso como estrategia para la ruptura de convenciones sociales y la construcción de la femineidad en los cuentos “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” y “Sin remitente” de Jacinta Escudos
Authors: Arce Calvo María Fernanda 
Published: January 2023

En la presente investigación se analizan los cuentos “Costumbres pre-matrimoniales” y “Sin remitente” de Jacinta Escudos, en los cuales se encuentran dos personajes, ‘La madre’ y Anabell, respectivamente, quienes poseen características y conductas monstruosas que adoptan a fin de oponerse y luchar en contra de las normas de una sociedad que las anula como seres humanos. De manera que, el concepto de monstruo va a entenderse como una forma de denominar aquello que se salga de la norma, pero también como una oportunidad para que los sujetos experimenten procesos de autoconocimiento sobre su cuerpo que van más allá de lo que se espera de ellos. En este caso, a través de la adquisición de máscaras y comportamientos “violentos”, estos personajes femeninos transgreden los ideales regulatorios y proponen una nueva femineidad que no limita su libertad sexual, ni las encasilla en estereotipos de género o edad, por lo que no son definidas como meros objetos subordinados a las acciones de quienes las rodean.
МАПУВАННЯ ПРОСТОРОВОЇ ПАМ’ЯТІ ПРО РЕВОЛЮЦІЮ ГІДНОСТІ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Семерин Христина 
Published: January 2023

У статті, що є частиною дослідження культурної пам’яті Революції Гідності в Україні (яке відбувалося до повномасштабного вторгнення 24 лютого 2022 р.), розглянуто просторовий вимір цієї пам’яті. Просторова меморіалізація має критичне значення для колективного, спільного увічнення подій. Спочатку місце або територія підлягає стихійній меморіалізації, а потім процес може відбуватися інституціоналізовано. Інституціоналізація пам’яті про Революцію Гідності полягає у розробленні державних політик пам’яті, створенні відповідних інституцій та організацій, передусім музею, ухваленні законодавчих постанов і проведенні різнорівневих заходів. Відповідно існують різні місця і простори: пам’ятні, що генерують нові сенси й по-різному працюють із претекстом і контекстом, авдиторією й суспільством загалом, і травматичні, які «блокують позитивне смислоутворення». Однак треба нагадати, що меморіалізація місця з плином часу віддаляє людей від реального минулого. Це один із численних парадоксів пам’яті простору. На прикладі символічної мапи Києва й масштабуючи карту протестів на всю територію України, авторка з’ясовує спільні й відмінні риси в меморіалізації Революції Гідності у просторі. Протести вписані в символічне поле столиці, а їхнім духовним осердям став київський Майдан Незалежності. Їхня історична мапа у столиці охоплює багато місць і просторів: Майдан Незалежності, вулиці Грушевську, Інститутську, Банкову, Хрещатик та ін. У статті зауважено, що регіональні й локальні політики пам’яті спираються на поіменне вшанування і загальну меморіалізацію подій. Головним інструментом на всіх рівнях залишається перейменування просторів і локацій. Загалом зазначено, що простір має зафіксувати травматичну пам’ять і героїзм учасниць та учасників революції. Маркування простору й організація місць і просторів меморіалізації та комеморації – важливі кроки для збереження пам’яті й долання культурної травми. Основні здобутки Майдану мають закріпитися в етосі свободи і гідності, цінностях і поведінці нового українського суспільства. Цей процес триває, а зараз Україна обстоює власну свободу і гідність у кривавій повномасштабній війні з Росією.
