Published: June 2023

A trend in future networks (i.e., beyond 5G and 6G) is the increasing virtualization and disaggregation of networks (i.e., Open Radio Access Network, network function virtulization/software-defined networking, or disaggregated optical networks, among others). This trend leads to a multi-vendor situation appearing in the telco arena (i.e., hardware suppliers, software function providers, vendors, operators) that communications service providers will need to deal with. This multi-stakeholder scenario complicates provisioning and the established relationships among actors based on operation agreements that define the requirements, penalties, and prices that generate a certain level of trust among them. This new disaggregated scenario implies an increment of possibilities and relationships, requiring agreements to be created in a run-time way. As the agreement is generated ad hoc, selecting a provider is a crucial decision, and so, trust and transparency are keys to help with this decision. As trust is a human/subjective concept, it is necessary to find a way to convert it into an objective parameter that can be used in an analytical field such as network control and management. This paper aims to present a model to compute the reputation of a provider based on a set of specific and measurable parameters and the use of Blockchain to make all of the process transparent and reliable to all players involved. Furthermore, this paper shows the design for a Blockchain-based Trust Manager that can compute and distribute the reputation and trust parameters to define how trustworthy are the multi-stakeholders. Finally, an experimental validation is presented on top of an optical transport network.
AutoPrognosis 2.0: Democratizing diagnostic and prognostic modeling in healthcare with automated machine learning
Authors: Imrie Fergus , Cebere Bogdan , McKinney Eoin F. , van der Schaar Mihaela 
Published: June 2023

Diagnostic and prognostic models are increasingly important in medicine and inform many clinical decisions. Recently, machine learning approaches have shown improvement over conventional modeling techniques by better capturing complex interactions between patient covariates in a data-driven manner. However, the use of machine learning introduces technical and practical challenges that have thus far restricted widespread adoption of such techniques in clinical settings. To address these challenges and empower healthcare professionals, we present an open-source machine learning framework, AutoPrognosis 2.0, to facilitate the development of diagnostic and prognostic models. AutoPrognosis leverages state-of-the-art advances in automated machine learning to develop optimized machine learning pipelines, incorporates model explainability tools, and enables deployment of clinical demonstrators,withoutrequiring significant technical expertise. To demonstrate AutoPrognosis 2.0, we provide an illustrative application where we construct a prognostic risk score for diabetes using the UK Biobank, a prospective study of 502,467 individuals. The models produced by our automated framework achieve greater discrimination for diabetes than expert clinical risk scores. We have implemented our risk score as a web-based decision support tool, which can be publicly accessed by patients and clinicians. By open-sourcing our framework as a tool for the community, we aim to provide clinicians and other medical practitioners with an accessible resource to develop new risk scores, personalized diagnostics, and prognostics using machine learning techniques.Software:https://github.com/vanderschaarlab/AutoPrognosis
Associations between ecological diversity and rodent plague circulation in Yunnan Province, China, 1983–2020: A data-informed modelling study
Authors: Li Ruiyun , Su Chao , Lou Zhe , Song Zhizhong , Pu Ennian , Li Yuqiong , Gao Zihou 
Published: June 2023

Background
Following its resurgence in 1982, rodent plague has been linked to a wide range of circulation risks in Yunnan Province. The most serious public health concern associated with effective plague control is determining how various ecological variables influence the differential risk of transmission.

Methods
We investigated the population dynamics of the hosts and vectors using large-scale epidemiological surveillance data. In a seasonal eco-epidemiological model, we evaluated the impact of ecological conditions on the vectored flea index (VFI) to determine the rate of plague transmission.

Results
The findings revealed a changing species composition in natural foci over time. Additionally, shifting distributional ranges of species by elevation may be vital in modulating the VFI. The model estimates indicate that the dynamic VFI contributes to spatiotemporal variance in transmission.

Conclusions
The VFI could be a critical ecological indicator, allowing for real-time tracking and prompt intervention in the circulation of rodent plague. Understanding eco-epidemiological diversity can provide essential insights into effective responses to future plague resurgence.

Published: June 2023

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is an expressive and receptive method of communication that helps in developing language and communication skills for people with speech and/or language impairment. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) children who lack communication can improve functional communication by personalizing AAC intervention. This paper is based on literature to promote AAC interventions to enhance English language acquisition in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. This paper also explores how multimodal and naturalistic AAC benefit ASD children's communicative and language skills. Recommended herewith is to personalize AAC intervention based on children's mental and physical condition and their needs, skills, and social environment's priority.
Exploring the diagnostic markers of essential tremor: A study based on machine learning algorithms
Authors: Gao Yuan , Ding Li , Liu Jiang , Wang Xiaoyan , Meng Qiang 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Essential tremor (ET) is a common neurological disorder with a difficult clinical diagnosis, primarily due to the lack of relevant biomarkers. The current study aims to identify possible biomarkers for ET by screening miRNAs using machine learning algorithms. In this investigation, public datasets and our own datasets were used to examine the ET disorder. The ET datasets originated from public sources. To generate our own dataset, high-throughput sequencing analyses were performed on ET and control samples from the First People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province. Functional enrichment analysis was employed to identify the potential function of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Using datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, Lasso regression analysis and support vector machine recursive feature elimination were used to screen potential diagnostic genes for ET. To identify the genes responsible for the final diagnosis, area under the curves (AUCs) of the receiver operating characteristic was examined. Finally, an ssGSEA representing an ET immune landscape was created. The sample exhibited expression profiles that corresponded with six genes in the public database. Three diagnostic genes were discovered with AUCs >0.7 that can distinguish ET from normal data: APOE, SENP6, and ZNF148. Single-gene GSEA indicated that these diagnostic genes were closely associated with the cholinergic, GABAergic, and dopaminergic synapse networks. The immune microenvironment of ET was also affected by these diagnostic genes. According to the findings, these three DEGs (APOE, SENP6, and ZNF148) may successfully differentiate between samples from ET patients and normal controls, serving as a helpful diagnostic tool. This effort provided a theoretical foundation for elucidating the pathogenesis of ET and raised hopes of overcoming the diagnostic difficulty of ET clinically.
Контекстуальный анализ в практике медленного чтения (на материале русских стихотворных текстов)
Authors: Москвин Василий Павлович 
Published: June 2023

АннотацияДоказана относительная по сравнению с прозой терпимость стихотворной речи к смысловой инкогерентности, которая обусловлена ограничениями на выбор слов и их порядок ввиду необходимости поддержания определенного стопного размера и производства нужной рифмы. Указанная особенность стихотворной речи, начиная с Античности закрепленная в содержании понятия «поэтическая вольность» (ποιητικὴ ἐξουσία, licentia poetica), придает особую значимость контекстуальному анализу, который предполагает в процессе истолкования и комментирования (т.е.медленного чтения) стиха учет трех типов контекста: (1) словесного; (2) ситуативного; (3) вертикального. Традиционными объектами при анализе словесного контекста выступают темные места (loci obscuri), в частности нестандартные переосмысления, но поскольку лексический знак обладает не только планом содержания, но и планом выражения, такой анализ оказывается необходимым еще в двух случаях: (1) для правильного произношения исторических рифм; (2) для постановки правильных ударений в акцентных архаизмах, которые сохраняет ритмическая решетка силлабо-тонического стиха; в случае (2) должен учитываться метрический контекст. Контекстуальное тестирование стиха по названным параметрам является облигаторным условием реализации двух компетенций: (1) восприятия переосмыслений, подтекстов, намеков и аллюзий; (2) правильного произношения орфоэпических, в частности акцентных архаизмов, которые хранит русская стихотворная классика. Если первая компетенция относится к плану содержания текста, являясь основой для понимания авторского замысла, а значит и минимизации темных мест, то вторая – к плану выражения, выступая основой для правильной декламации.
Intimate partner violence among unmarried young women (18–24 years) in urban communities, Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Okedare Omowumi O. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health problem that affects more than one-third of women globally. Young women who experience IPV face the same consequences as older women. Previous studies on IPV have not studies young women exclusively, thus, we aimed to report the prevalence of IPV and predictors among young women in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Methods
A community-based cross-sectional survey, using multistage cluster technique was conducted to determine the past-year prevalence of IPV among unmarried young women (n=736) from 20 communities in five Local Government Areas in Ibadan, Nigeria. The independent variables were respondents and their partners’ background information. Dependent variables were experience of physical, sexual, psychological and any IPV. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression (α0.05).

Results
Psychological IPV was the most prevalent form of IPV (50.1 %). Prevalence of any IPV was 56.3 %. At the bivariate level, having children, acceptance of IPV, ever had sex, age at first sex, experience at sexual debut, partners being with other women while being with the respondents, partners alcohol use, and partners witness of abuse as a child were significantly associated with IPV. However, only acceptance of IPV, experience at sexual debut, and partners being with other women while being with the respondents remained significant at the multivariate level.

Conclusions
IPV is a common occurrence among young women. Both individual and partners characteristics, especially acceptance of IPV contribute significantly to experience of IPV among young women. Hence, interventions targeted at reduction of IPV acceptance will greatly reduce the prevalence of IPV.
Disambiguating Philippine Republic Acts: the case of RA 10913
Authors: Bernardo Alejandro S. , Albaña-Garrido Angeli P. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis paper analyzes the ambiguities in a Republic Act (RA) promulgated in the Philippines as its way of contributing to the gradually growing number of forensic and legal linguistics research in the country. In particular, it aims to disambiguate the different categories of ambiguities, e.g., lexical, semantic, syntactic, referential, cross-textual and pragmatic, in Republic Act 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act enacted in 2016. Following a purely qualitative design and a predominantly theoretical approach in the analysis of the ambiguities in the said Republic Act, this paper hopes to offer a potential source of guidance to minimize difficult issues pertinent to the interpretation of the law. This paper also attempts to discuss the basic rationale behind the choice or presence of ambiguous language in a setting such as the drafting of RA 10913 and proposes that there be a ‘cross-fertilization’ between the readings of legal drafters and linguists.
Learnability of L2 collocations and L1 influence on L2 collocational representations of Japanese learners of English
Authors: Terai Masato , Fukuta Junya , Tamura Yu 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study, based on Jiang’s (2000. Lexical representation and development in a second language. Applied Linguistics 21(1). 47–77) bilingual lexicon model, investigates the learnability of collocations among 34 Japanese EFL learners and examines the influence of their L1 on such learning. An acceptability judgment task assessed the knowledge of three different types of collocations: English-only collocations that cannot be directly translated into Japanese (e.g., flat rate); congruent collocations that can be translated into Japanese without changing their meaning (e.g., cold tea); and Japanized collocations that are infelicitous in English, but felicitous in Japanese (e.g., yellow voice). After the task, participants translated the collocations and rated the difficulty on a four-point Likert scale. The relationship between the accuracy of these collocations and the translation difficulty rating scores was analyzed using mixed-effects logistic regression modeling to assess L1 influence. The results showed that with increasing L2 proficiency, learners tend to regard congruent and English-only collocations as acceptable, but even highly proficient learners did not fully reject the Japanized collocations. This suggests that as L2 proficiency increased, participants learned to accept felicitous collocations but did not learn to reject Japanized infelicitous ones. In addition, the influence of L1 was evident in English-only and Japanized collocations and could not be avoided by those with increasing proficiency.
Commutator endomorphisms of totally projective abelian 𝑝-groups
Authors: Keef Patrick 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
For a primary abelian group 𝐺, Chekhlov and Danchev (2015) defined three variations of Kaplansky’s notion of full transitivity by restricting one’s attention to the subgroup, the subring and the unitary subring of the endomorphism ring of 𝐺 generated by the collection of all commutator endomorphisms.
They posed the problem of describing exactly which totally projective groups exhibit these forms of full transitivity.
This problem, and some closely related questions, are completely answered using the Ulm function of 𝐺.
The stability of nonlinear delay integro-differential equations in the sense of Hyers-Ulam
Authors: Graef John R. , Tunç Cemil , Şengun Merve , Tunç Osman 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this study, an initial-value problem for a nonlinear Volterra functional integro-differential equation on a finite interval was considered. The nonlinear term in the equation contains multiple time delays. In addition to giving some new theorems on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the equation, the authors also prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability and the Hyers-Ulam stability of the equation. The proofs use several different tools including Banach’s fixed point theorem, the construction of a Picard operator, and an application of Pachpatte’s inequality. An example is provided to illustrate the existence, uniqueness, and stability properties of solutions.
Mythenchronologische Inkonsistenzen in den Argonautica? Beobachtungen zum prima navis-Motiv bei Valerius Flaccus
Authors: Söllradl Bernhard 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In Roman literature, the Argo commonly ranks as the first ship. The Flavian poet Valerius Flaccus seems to place himself in this line of tradition too by constantly stressing the Argo’s pioneer status. Yet it has rightly been noted that nowhere in the Argonautica is the Argo explicitly said to be the first ever ship. Her exceptional role is based rather on her status as the first sea-going ship to sail across the open sea from Europe to Asia, opening the seas to global marine trade. From this perspective, the hitherto inadequately explained mentions of ships in the Phlegyas simile (3,124–132) and the Lemnos episode (2,107–114; 285–305) can also be analysed as only apparent inconsistencies. The interpretive effort required here draws the attention of the reader or audience, which is called upon to compare the earlier ships to the Argo. In this, the poet suggests a pessimistic judgement: a consequence of the opening of the seas was shipping disasters and human tragedies. Also, it did not only lead to the expansion of civilising achievements, but also held the danger that rituals and customs of a periphery which is read as barbaric would penetrate into the cultural space of the Mediterranean world.
Ap. Rhod.Argon. 3.291: An Emendation

Published: June 2023

AbstractIt is well-known to scholars that the simile of the wool spinner described in Verg.Aen. 8.407–413 reworks on a verbal level Ap. Rhod.Argon. 3.291–295. Comparing Verg.Aen. 8.410 and Ap. Rhod.Argon. 3.291, this paper aims to suggest that in Ap. Rhod.Argon. 3.291 Virgil read a different text from that generally accepted by modern editors.
A Convenient Device to Measure the Permeability of Intact Rock (Heterogeneity and Anisotropy)
Authors: Cardona Alejandro , Santamarina J. Carlos 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The permeability of intact rocks affects a wide range of natural and engineered systems, yet its measurement remains costly and involves time demanding test protocols. Gas permeameters may improve efficiency but involve a complex series of pore-scale processes. In addition, peripheral damage during coring and the jacket-rock interface create a preferential flow path that affects the inferred permeability. We present a convenient permeameter for liquid-based permeability measurements using an unjacketed disk specimen. The test configuration minimizes peripheral flow bias and expedites testing times. The permeameter uses readily available devices for pressure and flow rate measurement/control and can be readily configured to measure rock permeability across six orders of magnitude. Preliminary numerical simulations allowed us to optimize the test design, to extract coefficients for data correction, and to process data to recover permeability anisotropy. The system is experimentally verified against industry standards and used to test cleaning protocols to remove fines left on the specimen surface after specimen preparation; these fines may cause clogging at the inlet phase—a bias that affects all permeameters.
Managing Diversifiable Risk in Private Equity
Authors: Laubach Oliver , Brunen Ann-Christine 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We use a unique dataset to examine the diversifiable risk of private equity portfolios held by limited partners (LPs). Our simulation results show that diversification across the number deals significantly mitigates idiosyncratic portfolio risk in large LP portfolios. Especially for buyout investments, syndicated deals reduce idiosyncratic portfolio risk, whereas deals shared by several partners within the same LP portfolio increase this risk. Looking at a sample of real LPs, our findings indicate that some investors have particularly high skills in identifying the most diversified general partners and selecting the most diversified funds. Additionally, we find that certain LPs simultaneously invest in several deal partners of a syndicated deal more frequently than chance and that these deals have a favorable risk-return profile.
NET G3 vs NEC: p53 and Rb1 Immunolabeling in High-grade Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Neoplasms - Is It Enough for the Differential Diagnosis?

Published: June 2023

Background and Aims: High-grade gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (GI-NENs) are divided into well-differentiated G3 neuroendocrine tumors (NETs G3) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), having identical cut-offs of proliferation, but different biomolecular origins. This translates in distinct treatment choices. Our aim was to establish if p53/Rb1 immunohistochemical status in GI-NENs with Ki67 index >20% can predict the histopathological diagnosis.
Methods: p53/Rb1 immunolabelling was performed on 42 cases of high-grade GI-NENs, diagnosed as NET G3, NEC and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) with NEC component. Immunolabeled slides were digitally scanned, with automatic quantification of p53 and Rb1, blind to the diagnosis.
Results: The p53 positive percentage was stratified; two cut-offs were selected, naming the intervals as N (null, <1%), T (tumor, 1%-20%) and C (carcinoma, >20%). The Rb1 expression loss in >90% of neoplastic cells was considered mutational. NETs G3 mainly showed the T status (14/16, 87.5%), followed by N (1/16, 6.25%) and C (1/16, 6.25%); NECs and NEC components in MiNENs predominantly expressed the C status (19/26, 73.08%), followed by N (5/26, 19.23%) and T (2/26, 7.69%) (p<0.001, χ 2 =27.017). NET G3s showed positive expression for Rb1; 73.08% of NECs expressed negative Rb1 (p<0.001, χ 2 =21.351). NECs and NEC components in MiNENs showed Rb1 mutational status in 13 C cases (13/19, 68.42%), 4 N cases (4/5, 80%) and in both the T cases (p=0.002, χ 2 =11.187).
Conclusions: Our results highlight the correlations between the p53/Rb1 immunostainings and the histopathological diagnosis of high-grade GI-NENs. NECs and NEC components in MiNENs showed a p53 mutational status (0% or 21-100%) and predominantly negative Rb1 expression. NETs G3 showed a p53 wild-type status (1-20%) and retained Rb1 expression. These findings suggest that the differential diagnosis of high-grade GI-NENs may benefit from p53/Rb1 immunohistochemical tests in everyday practice.
