Abstract. Jeetun S, Ricot M, Taleb-Hossenkhan N, Kaullysing D, Flot J-F, Bhagooli R. 2023. Differential responses of effective quantum yield to acute thermal stress in scleractinian corals including pre- and post-transplanted Acropora muricata. Indo Pac J Ocean Life 6: 54-63. Global climate change has had a serious impact on the health status of coral reefs and has led to the use of active reef restoration measures to remediate the decline in coral cover and assist in the recovery of depleted coral populations. This study aimed to assess the thermal photo-physiological responses of Acropora muricata pre- and post-transplantation from reef, lagoon, and nearshore stations to the experimental nearshore station and of four other non-transplanted coral species, namely, Acropora cytherea, Galaxea fascicularis, Pocillopora damicornis and Lithophyllon repanda from the reef. A visual assessment of dinoflagellate symbiont loss was conducted during summer bleaching events in 2011, 2016, and 2019 for A. muricata at the three stations, nearshore, lagoon, and reef, and for the other four corals at the reefs of Belle Mare (BM), Mauritius. The 2016 bleaching event appeared to be more severe for P. damicornis and L. repanda. A first experiment was carried out using pre-transplanted A. muricata from the reef, lagoon, and nearshore, respectively, in 2012, and a second one was conducted with post-transplanted A. muricata from the nearshore station in 2020, and A. cytherea, G. fascicularis, P. damicornis and L. repanda from the reef in both 2012 and 2020. The coral specimens were incubated at 28°C, 30°C, and 32°C for 3hrs. The results showed an enhanced photo-physiological thermo-tolerance through the measurement of the effective quantum yield of A. muricata following transplantation from the reef and lagoon to the nearshore station. Significantly different photo-physiological responses of the other four corals occurring on the reef were also reported between 2012 and 2020. These findings suggest that the nearshore transplanted A. muricata may have acclimatized, leading to enhanced thermo-tolerance when exposed to 30°C and A. cytherea among the test corals may have improved its thermo-tolerance at 30°C and 32°C possibly following several bleaching events. Further studies using longer experimental exposures and involving the symbiont species, antioxidant responses, symbiont cell density, and chlorophyll content along with coral genetics may shed light on possible mechanisms for such enhanced thermo-tolerance.

Authors: Alali Mohammed J. , Raheema Mithaq Nama , Alwahib Ali A. 
Published: April 2023

This study implemented AND, NAND, OR, XOR, NOR, XNOR, and NOT plasmonic logic gates using the finite element method. The all-optical nanoscale logic gates were designed using a single structure based on the technology of insulator-metal-insulator nanoscale plasmonic waveguides. The phase of optical waves and the position of the control and input ports are the most important factors for attaining the optimal transmission value based on interference between the input and control ports. The transmission threshold is 35%, and 850 nm is the operating wavelength. This design creates nanoscale logic gates with a structure dimension of 250nm×250nm. The transmission threshold, modulation depth, contrast ratio, and insertion loss criteria were proposed to evaluate the efficacy of the all-optical gates.

Published: April 2023

Background
The role of pharmacists has recently expanded, necessitating enhanced competencies. This requires pharmacists’ participation in continuing education initiatives. This study aims to explore attitudes, motivations, opportunities, and challenges of pharmacists in a country in the middle east, towards continuous professional development.

Methods
A cross-sectional observational close-ended questions study was conducted in Jordan between September and October 2021, and enrolled 309 pharmacists, the tool was developed by the research team and experts in the field to evaluate the continuous professional development perception among pharmacists. The research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee in an area hospital and a University.

Results
The majority of participants had confidence that continuous professional development prepares pharmacists for practical development, believed that it enhances the status of the profession with other health care professionals as well as with the public, and felt confident that it meets their needs (> 98%). Most of the participants agreed that job restrictions (91%) and lack of time (83%) were the major barriers to participation in continuous professional development. The motivation was positively correlated with attitudes (R = 0.551, P < .001). However, barriers were not significantly correlated with either attitudes or motivations.

Conclusion
Our findings emphasize the positive attitude of pharmacists towards continuous professional development. Identified barriers to continuous professional development participation included job constraints and lack of time. The study highlights the need for policies and procedures that address these issues before the implementation of mandatory continuous professional development programs for pharmacists.

Purpose
Acupuncture has been widely used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but the selection of acupoints is indeterminate and lacks biological basis. The skin temperature of acupoints can reflect the state of local tissue and may be a potential factor for guiding acupoint selection. This study aims to compare the skin temperature of acupoints between KOA patients and the healthy population.

Study design and methods
This is a protocol for a cross-sectional case-control study with 170 KOA patients and 170 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals. Diagnosed patients aged 45 to 70 will be recruited in the KOA group. Participants in the healthy group will be matched with the KOA group based on mean age and gender distribution. Skin temperature of 11 acupoints (ST35, EX-LE5, GB33, GB34, EX-LE2, ST34, ST36, GB39, BL40, SP9, SP10) will be extracted from infrared thermography (IRT) images of the lower limbs. Other measurements will include demographic data (gender, age, ethnicity, education, height, weight, BMI) and disease-related data (numerical rating scale, pain sites, duration of pain, pain descriptors, pain activities).

Discussion
The results of this study will provide biological evidence for acupoint selection. This study is a precondition for follow-up studies, in which the value of optimized acupoint selection will be verified.

Design and validation of a new machine-learning-based diagnostic tool for the differentiation of dermatoscopic skin cancer images
Authors: Tajerian Amin , Kazemian Mohsen , Tajerian Mohammad , Akhavan Malayeri Ava 
Published: April 2023

Background
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Current estimates are that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. A skin cancer diagnosis is challenging for dermatologists requiring a biopsy from the lesion and histopathological examinations. In this article, we used the HAM10000 dataset to develop a web application that classifies skin cancer lesions.

Method
This article presents a methodological approach that utilizes dermoscopy images from the HAM10000 dataset, a collection of 10015 dermatoscopic images collected over 20 years from two different sites, to improve the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. The study design involves image pre-processing, which includes labelling, resizing, and data augmentation techniques to increase the instances of the dataset. Transfer learning, a machine learning technique, was used to create a model architecture that includes EfficientNET-B1, a variant of the baseline model EfficientNET-B0, with a global average pooling 2D layer and a softmax layer with 7 nodes added on top. The results of the study offer a promising method for dermatologists to improve their diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions.

Results
The model performs best in detecting melanocytic nevi lesions with an F1 score of 0.93. The F1 score for Actinic Keratosis, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Benign Keratosis, Dermatofibroma, Melanoma, and Vascular lesions was consecutively 0.63, 0.72, 0.70, 0.54, 0.58, and 0.80.

Conclusions
We classified seven distinct skin lesions in the HAM10000 dataset with an EfficientNet model reaching an accuracy of 84.3%, which provides a promising outlook for further development of more accurate models.
Structural comparison of different isolated eucalyptus lignins and analysis of their interaction mechanism with bovine serum albumin solution under QCM-D

Published: April 2023

Abstract
In this study, representative lignin samples differing in hydroxyl content, molecular weight, linkage composition and lignin units ratio were prepared from eucalyptus wood by different isolation means and modification means: milled wood lignin (MWL), kraft lignin classified at different pH (KL), lignocresol (LC), lignoresorcinol (LR), lignopyrogallol (LP) as well as lignocresol secondary functional switched samples (LC 2ndderiv). The structure of various lignins was characterized in detail by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In order to eliminate the interference of other factors, bovine serum albumin (BSA) with relatively simple protein structure and different kinds of lignin and their derivatives were selected as the research objects. The adsorption/desorption behavior and mechanism between lignin samples and BSA were studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The results showed that the content of phenolic hydroxyl was the main factor affecting the interaction of lignin and BSA, but in addition, the molecular size, linkages composition and the types of lignin units also had important effects on its adsorption behavior. The research will provide theoretical guidance and all-round reliable basic data for the interaction of lignin on lignocellulose hydrolysis enzymes in industrial application.
Are Searches in OCR-generated Archives Trustworthy?
Authors: Burchardt Jørgen 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Digitised archives are revolutionary tools for research that, in a few seconds, generate results that earlier often took years to obtain. But do they provide all results for the terms searched for? The accuracy of searches was tested by performing sample searches of leading newspaper databases. The test revealed several weaknesses in the search process, including an average 18 percent error rate for single words in body text, and a far higher error rates for advertisements. Such high error rates encourage a critical look at the 20-year-old sector. Although these errors can be reduced by a re-digitation and with new improved OCR engines and new search algorithms, searches will nevertheless return manipulated results. In response, and to identify infringed bias and skewed representation, database owners need to provide thorough metadata to ensure source criticism.
Hidden Value: Provenance as a Source for Economic and Social History
Authors: Rother Lynn , Mariani Fabio , Koss Max 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Building on the extensive production of provenance data recently, this article explains how we can expand the purview of computational analysis in humanistic and social sciences by exploring how digital methods can be applied to provenances. Provenances document chains of events of ownership and socio-economic custody changes of artworks. They promise statistical and comparative insights into social and economic trends and networks. Such analyses, however, necessitate the transformation of provenances from their textual form into structured data. This article first explores some of the analytical avenues aggregate provenance data can offer for transdisciplinary historical research. It then explains in detail the use of deep learning to address natural language processing tasks for transforming provenance text into structured data, such as Sentence Boundary Detection and Span Categorization. To illustrate the potential of this pioneering approach, this article ends with two examples of preliminary analysis of structured provenance data.

Authors: Canal John P. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The introduction of computation chemistry has increased in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Our method of instruction is centred on an online, self-paced approach where students interact with the material through an instructional handbook, videos, and assignments. In our inorganic undergraduate curriculum students explore computational chemistry though optimization of organometallic complexes, modelling the infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and investigation of the shape and energy of molecular orbitals. These results are compared to experimentally determined data. The effectiveness of introducing students to computational chemistry to characterize organometallic compounds will be highlighted.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND
Postoperative pneumonia is the third most common surgical complication and can seriously impair surgical rehabilitation and lead to related morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the temporal trends in racial and ethnic disparities in postoperative pneumonia and quantified the economic burden resulting from these inequalities in the United States.

METHODS
This population-based study includes 195 028 children (weighted to 964 679) admitted for elective surgery across 5340 US hospitals reporting to the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2010 and 2018. We estimated the risk-adjusted incidence of postoperative pneumonia, comparing racial and ethnic groups. We also quantified the inflation-adjusted hospital costs attributable to racial and ethnic disparities in postoperative pneumonia.

RESULTS
The risk-adjusted rates of pneumonia declined across all racial and ethnic categories, with Black children having the lowest annual rate of decline (Black: 0.03 percentage points, Hispanic: 0.05 percentage points, white: 0.05 percentage points). The risk-adjusted rates of pneumonia trended consistently higher for Black and Hispanic children, relative to white children, throughout the study period (Black versus white: relative risk, 1.31 (95% confidence interval, 1.14–1.51), P &lt; .01; Hispanic versus white: relative risk, 1.16 (95% confidence interval, 1.02–1.32), P = .02). These disparities did not narrow significantly over time. During the study period, the excess hospitalization cost attributable to racial and ethnic disparities in postoperative pneumonia was $24 533 458 for Black children and $26 200 783 for Hispanic children (total, $50 734 241).

CONCLUSIONS
Against the backdrop of decreasing postoperative pneumonia, Black and Hispanic children continue to experience higher rates compared with white children. These persistent disparities in postoperative pneumonia were associated with considerable excess cost of surgical care.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe present study evaluated the effect of winemaking technologies on the concentration of different biogenic amines in Chardonnay wines. Wines produced from sedimented, inoculated must with active dry yeast without malolactic fermentation were compared with wine produced from nonsedimented must spontaneously fermented with malolactic fermentation. Histamine and putrescine concentrations were not significantly different in either variant. The highest concentration of histamine was 0.055 mg L−1, and the highest concentration of putrescine was 1.6 mg L−1 in both variants. Statistically significantly higher values of cadaverine (from 0.06 to 0.07 mg L−1), spermidine (from 0.8 to 1.4 mg L−1), spermine (from 0.15 to 0.25 mg L−1), and isoamylamine (from 0.40 to 0.46 mg L−1) were found in the variant made from nonsedimented must, in which spontaneous malolactic fermentation was performed. The higher concentration of biogenic amines in this variant may be due to the different composition of lactic bacteria during the spontaneous malolactic fermentation. A simplified, unpublished HILIC method of chromatographic separation of biogenic amines without prior deprivation with MS-MS detection was used to determine individual biogenic amines.

Published: April 2023

AbstractBackground and aims. The popularity of playing games among adolescents has increased during the last decades, possibly affecting the prevalence of problematic gaming behavior. The current study aimed to compare country-level prevalence rates of adolescents' problematic gaming behavior in five countries and identify cross-cultural similarities and differences in the relationship between problematic gaming and well-being (life satisfaction, psychological complaints, and peer support). Methods. Cross-national data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study were used. The sample comprised 14,398 gamers (61% boys) aged 11 to 16 (average age between 13.31 and 13.85) from Azerbaijan, England, Serbia, Slovenia, and the Netherlands. Results. The findings showed that the prevalence of problematic gaming differs between countries. The highest prevalence of problematic gaming was seen in Azerbaijan (16.1%) and the lowest in the Netherlands (4.3%). In contrast, Azerbaijan reported the lowest gaming intensity, whereas the Netherlands and England showed the highest gaming intensity. Additional analyses revealed that problematic gaming was associated with lower life satisfaction, more psychological complaints, and lower peer support in all countries, although the strength of these associations varied between countries. Discussion and conclusions. The current study's results are consistent with the assumption that problematic gaming negatively affects adolescents' social and mental well-being. These findings are further discussed in light of the normalization theory which suggests that cultural gaming norms (i.e., the percentage of gamers per country) would influence the strength of the relationship between problematic gaming and adolescents' well-being. The present findings highlight the need for adequate prevention strategies aiming at problematic gaming among youngsters.
