Galaxy Spin Classification. I. Z-wise versus S-wise Spirals with the Chirality Equivariant Residual Network
Authors: Jia 贾 He 赫 , Zhu 朱 Hong-Ming 弘明 , Pen 彭 Ue-Li 威禮 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The angular momentum of galaxies (galaxy spin) contains rich information about the initial condition of the universe, yet it is challenging to efficiently measure the spin direction for the tremendous amount of galaxies that are being mapped by ongoing and forthcoming cosmological surveys. We present a machine-learning-based classifier for the Z-wise versus S-wise spirals, which can help to break the degeneracy in the galaxy spin direction measurement. The proposed chirality equivariant residual network (CE-ResNet) is manifestly equivariant under a reflection of the input image, which guarantees that there is no inherent asymmetry between the Z-wise and S-wise probability estimators. We train the model with Sloan Digital Sky Survey images, with the training labels given by the Galaxy Zoo 1 project. A combination of data augmentation techniques is used during the training, making the model more robust to be applied to other surveys. We find an ∼30% increase in both types of spirals when Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) images are used for classification, due to the better imaging quality of DESI. We verify that the ∼7σ difference between the numbers of Z-wise and S-wise spirals is due to human bias, since the discrepancy drops to <1.8σ with our CE-ResNet classification results. We discuss the potential systematics relevant to future cosmological applications.

Abstract
The climate of a planet can be strongly affected by its eccentricity due to variations in the stellar flux. There are two limits for the dependence of the inner habitable zone boundary (IHZ) on eccentricity: (1) the mean stellar flux approximation (

∝

), in which the temperature is approximately constant throughout the orbit, and (2) the maximum stellar flux approximation (S
IHZ ∝ (1 − e)2), in which the temperature adjusts instantaneously to the stellar flux. Which limit is appropriate is determined by the dimensionless parameter

Π

, where C is the heat capacity of the planet, P is the orbital period, and

B

, where Ω is the outgoing long-wave radiation and T

s
is the surface temperature. We use the Buckingham Π theorem to derive an analytical function for the IHZ in terms of eccentricity and Π. We then build a time-dependent energy balance model to resolve the surface temperature evolution and constrain our analytical result. We find that Π must be greater than about ∼1 for the mean stellar flux approximation to be nearly exact and less than about ∼0.01 for the maximum stellar flux approximation to be nearly exact. In addition to assuming a constant heat capacity, we also consider the effective heat capacity including latent heat (evaporation and precipitation). We find that for planets with an Earthlike ocean, the IHZ should follow the mean stellar flux limit for all eccentricities. This work will aid in the prioritization of potentially habitable exoplanets with nonzero eccentricity for follow-up characterization.

Background: Onychomycosis is increasingly found in tropical populations.
Objectives: To investigate the incidence and etiology of onychomycosis in a group of patients presented to the Teaching Hospital, Kurunegala, Sri Lanka.
Methods: A total of 47 patients (8 males, 39 females clinically diagnosed with onychomycosis were randomly selected as study participants. After obtaining written informed consent from the participants, demographics and onychomycosis-associated factors were recorded using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Nail specimens were subjected to direct microscopy (DM) after 20% KOH digestion and were cultured on Sabourauds Dextrose Agar (SDA) containing chloramphenicol alone and SDA with chloramphenicol and cycloheximide. Fungi were identified macroscopically and microscopically.
Results: Out of 47 patients clinically diagnosed with onychomycosis, only 30 (63.8%) were confirmed as onychomycosis mycologically. Overall, 93.4% of confirmed onychomycosis patients (28/30) aged between 20-69 years. Onychomycosis was common among housewives 36.7% (11/30), health care workers 23.3% (7/30) and farmers 16.7% (5/30). Further, 53.3% (16/30) had onychomycosis only in toe nails, 30% (9/30) had only in finger nails. Both toe and finger nails were affected in 16.7% (5/30). Commonest etiology of onychomycosis was dermatophytes 12 (40%) followed by nondermatophytic moulds (NDM) 10 (33%) and Candida 8 (27%). Leading pathogenic dermatophytes were T. mentagrophytes (41.7%; 5/12) and T. rubrum (25%; 3/12). Commonest NDM was Fusarium species 60% (6/10).
Conclusions: Onychomycosis was common in adults (20-69 years) particularly among housewives, health care workers and farmers in our sample. Toe nails were the most affected. Etiology of onychomycosis was mainly dermatophytes followed by NDMs and Candida. Common dermatophytes associated with onychomycosis were T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum. Fusarium species was the leading NDM associated with onychomycosis.
Heat kernel asymptotics for real powers of Laplacians

Published: January 2023

AbstractWe describe the small-time heat kernel asymptotics of real powers
$\operatorname {\Delta }^r$
,
$r \in (0,1)$
of a non-negative self-adjoint generalized Laplacian
$\operatorname {\Delta }$
acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle
$\mathcal {E}$
over a closed oriented manifold M. First, we treat separately the asymptotic on the diagonal of
$M \times M$
and in a compact set away from it. Logarithmic terms appear only if n is odd and r is rational with even denominator. We prove the non-triviality of the coefficients appearing in the diagonal asymptotics, and also the non-locality of some of the coefficients. In the special case
$r=1/2$
, we give a simultaneous formula by proving that the heat kernel of
$\operatorname {\Delta }^{1/2}$
is a polyhomogeneous conormal section in
$\mathcal {E} \boxtimes \mathcal {E}^* $
on the standard blow-up space

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT.
We analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with Streptococcus suis meningitis in Liuzhou, China, to improve diagnostic accuracy and lower the chances of misdiagnosis. The major clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination results, treatment strategies, treatment efficacy, and follow-up results of 17 consecutively admitted patients with S. suis meningitis were evaluated. The most common clinical manifestations were fever (15/17), sensorineural hearing loss (13/17), headache (11/17), and altered mental status (8/17). In addition, 64.71% of the patients had residual symptoms of sensorineural hearing loss at discharge, and moderate disabilities occurred in 68.75% of the patients in the form of sensorineural deafness (11/17) and hemiparesis (1/17). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of nine patients was used for metagenomic analysis with next-generation sequencing. The metagenomic analysis of CSF of four patients was positive, whereas blood and CSF cultures were negative. The average modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores improved significantly at the 6-month follow-up compared with those at admission (P < 0.05). There was no correlation between altered mRS and ADL scores and the CSF findings (P > 0.05). Early administration of antibiotics can prevent sensorineural hearing loss. Early CSF metagenomic analysis may be superior to blood and CSF culture.

Published: January 2023

One third of the population, including both men and women, experience hair problems, making it one of the most prevalent issues in the world. Both men and women in India are very sensitive about their hair. Numerous reasons, including hormone imbalances, stress, rising work pressure, poor dietary practises, and excessive use of chemical cosmetics, have contributed to a rise in cases of hair diseases and hair problems. Losing one's hair can be embarrassing and detrimental to one's confidence and self-esteem. Ayurveda provides some successful external hair management therapies. The pharmaceutics and therapeutics of Ayurvedic dose forms are quite specialised. Sneha Kalpana is a collection of medicated Taila and Ghrita that treat a wide variety of diseases in people of all ages. Sneha kalpas produced by Ayurvedic pharmaceutics are broadly utilised for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. It is the only Kalpana used in all four ways that these formulations can be administered: Pana, Abhyanga, Nasya, and Basti. In Ayurveda, hairs are referred to as Kesha, and medications that are effective for hairs are referred to as Keshya medications. In this article we have made an effort to describe the formulation Nilibhringadi Taila which is described in Sahasrayogam and Chikitsa Manjari. Nilibhringadi Taila is an Ayurvedic and herbal oil, which is useful to improve the quality of hair, to treat split hairs, premature greying and baldness. All ingredients in formulation are best hair growth promoters. It is widely used and prescribed formulation in India. Here not much more work has been done on this formulation. So we are trying to review this formulation for further knowledge and scope.

Kitibha of Ayurvedic literature is compared and accepted with Psoriasis. It pacifies Vata and Kapha Dosha. Scalp Psoriasis is a widespread condition of the skin, which causes elevated, reddish, sometimes skinny spots. It may occur as one or several patches and even affect the whole scalp. Objective: To see the effect of Ayurvedic drugs and local applications can help in Kitibha kushtha. Methodology: In this case, a 20-year male patient had been experiencing symptoms of Reddish-white patches over-head, scaling of skin, Itching all over body. Ayurvedic medicines were used in the study for two months. Discussion: The major goal of the treatment is to help to eliminate scales. The medicines were used in the study also purify the impure blood. Ashtmurti Rasayana, Gandhaka Rasayan both are blood purifier also work as broad-spectrum antibiotics Ashtmurti Rasayana has Jantughna property. Panch Nimba Churna is purifying in nature. Rasa Manikya has antimicrobial property and balances Vata- Kapha dosha. It removes Ama (toxins) accumulated under the skin. Godanti helps in Pitta balance and anti-inflammatory property. Conclusion: Each science has its own fundamentals of the management and success rate with its own limitations. But still now an effective and promising cure for Psoriasis is not found. So, there is need of era to develop some Ayurveda treatment modalities for Psoriasis. Keeping the fundamentals of management in mind the current study was conducted which will be helpful for curing the Kitibha Kushtha (Psoriasis).

Published: January 2023

One of the most prevalent Vata illnesses, Gridhrasi shares many characteristics with sciatica, including pain or discomfort along the sciatic nerve. Here is a case of Gridrasi/sciatica which has a very unique presentation different from the typical presentation of pain, radiating from the lower back to the feet. Though multiple treatment modalities haven been on the rise for the treatment of Gradhrasi/Sciatica, there is a lacuna for a specific treatment protocol which covers the disease treatment in its entirety and hence this effort standardises a protocol for the same. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to document this unique presentation of Gridrasi/ Sciatica and to access the efficacy of Ayurvedic management with a specific treatment protocol in Gridhrasi. Materials and Methods: It is a single case study. A 55 year old man complaining of pain originating from the left heel, radiating to the lower back, correlated with Gridhrasi of left leg since 2 months approached to Ayurvedic hospital and a treatment protocol which includes Siravyadha, Sadhyovirechana, Kala Basti, Choorna Pinda Sweda, Kati Basti, Kati Bandha and Snighda Agnikarma was given. The treatment protocol was continued for a period of 11 days. Results: Symptomatic assessment of patient was carried out after eleven days and satisfactory outcome was observed and overall quality of life of patient was significantly improved. Conclusion: The aforementioned treatment protocol gives a significant relief for the management of even this unique presentation of Gridrasi/Sciatica.

Published: January 2023

Sushruta Samhita is one of the foundational literature included in the Brihat traiye literatures of Ayurveda. Out of 37 different Ganas mentioned in Sutra Sthana of Sushruta Samhita, Dravya-sangrahaniya-adhyaya; Salsaradi-gana is one of them in which 23 medicinal plants have been described. Classically Salsaradi-gana is clinically indicated for Kushta (skin diseases), Prameha (diabetes mellitus), Pandu (anemia), and Kapha-medo-vishoshana (anti-hyperlipidaemic) disease. For this study, a review of the original commentary of Acharya Dalhana and Acharya haranchandra on Sushruta Samhita and the scientific research papers published on the medicinal plants listed in the Salsaradi-gana of Sushruta Samhita in indexed journals is done. Out of 23 medicinal plants mentioned 8 plants have controversial identification. The controversy in the identification of these medicinal plants is seen directly affecting the pharmacological action and clinical efficacy. Those 8 plants’ controversial identity is cleared with the establishment of a genuine plant for each of the plants through scientific and classical justification.

Impact of citizen participation in precarious housing resorption programs in Algeria (case of Sidi Slimane neighborhood, city of Boussaâda)
Authors: Yelles Abdellatif , Khalfallah Boudjemaa 
Published: January 2023

Citizen and inhabitant participation in public interests has taken its importance over the last two centuries in Europe and the United States, and by the end of the 20th century, it had become central to debates around the issue of urban governance, social and urban development projects in particular. In recent decades, many countries have increasingly organizing collaborative governance, participatory budgeting and other models in which citizens can intervene more directly. It is emphasized that Algerian cities experienced a massive rural exodus during the 1990s for several reasons: insecurity, urban disparities and the attractiveness of services. This research studies the impact of citizen participation in programmers to reduce precarious habitat in the precarious neighborhood of Sidi Slimane in Boussaâda, a medium-sized city in the Algerian high plains. Since the end of the 1990s, this precarious neighborhood has undergone several operations aimed at improving its living environment, including the programme to reduce precarious habitat (PHR). The World Bank finances the latter in 2000, followed by a national programme of the same kind during the two decades that followed. Several modes, media and actors, essentially define citizen participation in these programmes: individuals, citizen entities, organizations and local authorities. In the field, it has been noted that each menu operation (rehousing, preservation, completion), is an experience conditioned by several dimensions (temporal, social, regulatory etc.). Therefore, the impact of citizen participation in these operations needs to be studied and arbitrated.

Published: January 2023

Introdução: A cirrose hepática é uma das doenças de maior incidência no mundo, além de ser uma das principais causas de morte no Brasil. O abuso de bebidas alcoólicas pode levar a degeneração no fígado, acarretando tal agravo. Entretanto, foram identificados fatores que pioram a cessação do alcoolismo, visto que os aspectos biopsicossociais, intrínsecos e extrínsecos estão correlacionados à dependência alcoólica. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores que pioram a cessação do alcoolismo no paciente cirrótico. Métodos: As informações neste trabalho foram obtidas nas plataformas: Scielo, Google Scholar e PubMed. Resultados: Um dos critérios para o transplante hepático é a abstinência alcoólica por no mínimo 6 meses. Levando em conta o contexto psicossocial relacionado ao paciente, é válido destacar que essa tarefa se torna desafiadora e litigiosa no pré e pós transplante hepático. Os fatores intrínsecos associados são: dependência alcoólica (craving), neuroticismo (raiva, depressão, hipomania ou mania, ansiedade, angústia), extroversão, abertura para experiência, negação do paciente alcoolista crônico em relação aos danos que o álcool tem em sua vida, carência de espiritualidade. Os fatores extrínsecos associados são: influência negativa dos amigos e familiares, questões econômicas (desemprego, fácil acesso à bebida alcoólica), exclusão social, tratamento farmacológico, e a falta de suporte e/ou adesão do suporte profissional. Conclusão: Conclui-se que os fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos exercem influência direta sob a abstinência alcoólica em indivíduos. A piora da adesão a abstinência é contribuída por fatores psicossociais, devendo esses serem efetivamente enfrentados para que o transplante hepático possa ser findado de maneira coesa, evitando assim riscos.

Objective: To replicate and extend previous research by examining, among a larger sample, the effectiveness of a Whole Health Primary Care Pain Education and Opioid Monitoring Program (PC-POP) at increasing adherence to the Veteran Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) recommended guidelines for long-term opioid therapy among chronic noncancer patients seen in primary care—medications, hospitalization, monitoring/safety, assessment, and nonpharmacological pain treatment referrals.Design/methods: Using data collected from medical records, a between-subjects comparison (PC-POP enrollees vs nonenrollees) was conducted to determine if there were differences between the groups 12 months post-enrollment in PC-POP (12 months post-index date for nonenrollees). Additionally, a within-subjects comparison of outcomes was also conducted with PC-POP enrollees, ie, 12 months pre-enrollment to 12 months post-enrollment.Subjects: A convenience sample of adult Veterans with chronic noncancer pain receiving opioid therapy consecutively for ≥3 months in primary care.Results: A total of 734 Veterans (423 PC-POP enrollees and 311 nonenrollees) were included in the analyses. Results showed increased concordance with VA/DoD guidelines among those enrolled in PC-POP, characterized by increased documentation of urine drug screens, Stratification Tool for Opioid Risk Mitigation reports, Narcan education/prescriptions, assessment measures for mental health/substance use/physical function, and referrals for nonpharmacological pain treatment. A decrease in morphine equivalent daily dose among patients enrolled in PC-POP across a 2-year timeframe was also found.Conclusions: PC-POP increases guideline concordant care for providers working in primary care.
