Sex estimation using measurements of the proximal femur in a historical population from Poland
Authors: Wysocka Joanna , Cieślik Agata I. , Danel Dariusz P. 
Published: March 2023

Sex estimation is one of the most important components in assessing the biological profile of an individual. In an archaeological context, the pelvis, which is the most dimorphic part of the skeleton, is often poorly preserved, which can cause an inability to use morphological sex estimation methods. Therefore, alternative methods are required in such cases. Because the utility of the metric methods based on the femur measurement has been confirmed, and the bone is usually available for examination due to its good preservation, developing methods using the landmarks of the femur could have important implications in sex estimation.
This study aimed to derive a discriminant function equation for a Polish archaeological population based on measurements of the proximal end of the femur.
The study sample included individuals from a medieval cemetery in Milicz (n = 62) and an early modern necropolis at Czysty Square in Wrocław, Poland (n = 162). The analysis included seven measurements collected from the right and left proximal femora. To estimate the reproducibility of the measurements, intra-and interobserver errors and reliability coefficients were calculated. Subsequently, univariate and stepwise discriminant analyses were performed, and the sex sectioning points and equations were proposed.
No differences were observed between measurements of the right and left femora. The results indicated a high utility and reproducibility of the FHD measurement (regardless whether left or right femur was measured). The discriminant equations for sex estimation reached an accuracy of 83.0–92.3%, which implies the utility of the function on Polish historical populations when the other methods for sex estimation cannot be used.
THERMODYNAMIC UNCERTAINTY RELATION AS A FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF QUANTUM THERMODYNAMICS
Authors: Artamonov Anton А. , Plotnikov Еvgeny 
Published: March 2023

The paper addresses physics of thermodynamic fluctuations in temperature and energy. These fluctuations are interrelated and, hence, can affect various micro- and macro systems. It is shown that the thermodynamic uncertainty relation must be taken into account in the physics of superconductivity, in quantum computations and other branches of science, where temperature and energy fluctuations play a critical role. One of the most important applications of quantum thermodynamics is quantum computers. It is assumed that in the near future the state structures will create a specific quantum cryptocurrency obtained using quantum computing. The quantum cryptocurrency exhibits two main features: the maximum reliability (quantum protection against hacking threats) and the possibility of state control (at the moment, only large scientific state centers have quantum computers).
The paper reviews the studies aimed to theoretically prove the validity of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation. This relation connects fluctuations in temperature and energy of a system. Other similar relations are considered, including the relationship between fluctuations in pressure and volume, in entropy and temperature, and others. The main purpose of the paper is to validate the thermodynamic analogue of the uncertainty relation that interconnects temperature and energy fluctuations.
Experimental data was obtained on the basis of the study of the transport properties of semiconductor devices – transistors. In the experiment, the transport properties of a pair of semiconductor transistors placed on a single silicon crystal were studied. In this system, one transistor was used to determine temperature fluctuations, and the other one was employed to estimate energy fluctuations.
The key role of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation in modern thermodynamics has been clarified. The performed experimental studies confirm the validity of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation.

Authors: Kapoor Mayank , Dhar Minakshi , Pathania Monika 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background: Hyponatremia presents with symptoms considered age-associated in the elderly. We assess the change in Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) parameters after hyponatremia improvement in hospitalized geriatric patients.
Methods: We took 100 hyponatremic and same number of eunatremic geriatric patients (>60 years) who were comorbidity, presenting-complaints, and age-matched. Four CGA parameters were utilized, the new Hindi Mental State Examination (HMSE), Barthel’s index of activities of daily living (ADL), Timed up and go Test (TUG), and handgrip strength by hand dynamometer (HG). We analyzed these at admission and discharge, and their relationship with change in sodium levels.
Results: Average age was 68.1 ± 5.8 years, with males constituting 75%. The CGA parameters demonstrated worse values amongst the hyponatremia than the normonatremia group. Severe hyponatremia group showed worse CGA scores in comparison with moderate and mild. With improvement in sodium level, the improvements in ADL, TUG, and HMSE scores were greater in the hyponatremia group (8.8 ± 10.1, 2.2 ± 2.5, and 1.7 ± 2.3 respectively) in comparison to the normonatremia reference group (4.7 ± 9.0, 1 ± 2.0, and 0.7 ± 1.3 respectively, P<0.05).
Conclusion: Our study is the first utilizing HMSE to assess cognitive ability in the Indian elderly. Hyponatremic patients show worse baseline CGA parameters, and hyponatremia severity correlates with worse motor and cognitive function. Improvement in the serum sodium level improves the CGA parameters. Correction of hyponatremia in the geriatric age group significantly impacts life quality.

Abstract
Background: The management of shoulder pain is challenging for primary care clinicians considering that 40% of affected individuals remain symptomatic one year after initial consultation. Developing tailored knowledge translation interventions founded on evidence-based recommendations while also considering patients’ expectations could improve primary care for shoulder pain. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore patients’ expectations and experiences of their primary care consultation for shoulder pain.
Methods: In this qualitative study, participants with shoulder pain and having consulted a primary care physician in the past year were interviewed. All the semi-structured interviews were transcribed into verbatims, and inductive thematic analysis was performed to identify themes related to the participants’ expectations and experiences of primary care consultations for shoulder pain.
Results: Thirteen participants with shoulder pain were interviewed (8 women, 5 men; mean age 50 ± 12 years). Eleven of them initially consulted a family or an emergency physician, and two participants initially consulted a physiotherapist. Four overarching themes related to patients’ expectations and experiences were identified from our thematic analysis: 1) I can’t sleep because of my shoulder; 2) I need to know what is happening with my shoulder; 3) But… we need to really see what is going on to help me!; and 4) Please take some time with me so I can understand what to do!. Several participants waited until they experienced a high level of shoulder pain before making an appointment since they were not confident about what their family physician could do to manage their condition. Although some participants felt that their physician took the time to listened to their concerns, many were dissatisfied with the limited assessment and education provided by the clinician.
Conclusions: Implementing evidence-based recommendations while also considering patients’ expectations is important as it may improve care delivery and patients’ satisfaction with care. Several participants reported that their expectations were not met, especially when it came to the explanations provided. One unexpected finding that emerged from this study was the delay between the onset of shoulder pain and when patients decided to consult their primary care clinician.

Authors: DONG Ru-bao , DOU Kai-yun , LUO Jie 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We created a model of adolescent physical and mental health promotion to explore the integration pathway of physical activity, mental health, and sleep time promotion among adolescents. The research hypotheses were tested using questionnaires, descriptive statistics, and validated factor analysis. The mean age of the respondents was 14.94 ± 1.76 years, the physical activity level was 2.49 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.46, 2.53), the general self-efficacy score was 2.60 (95% CI: 2.57, 2.64), the sleep duration was 436.52 min/day (95% CI: 432.89, 440.15), and the total mean mental health score was 1.72 ( 95% CI: 432.89, 440.15) (model fitness index: χ2/df = 1.295, comparative fit index = 0.999, Tucker–Lewis index = 0.997, root mean square error of approximation = 0.014, standardized root mean square residual = 0.007). The sleep duration accounted for 46.85% of the mediating effect. The adolescents included in the study had moderately low physical activity levels, severe sleep duration deficits, and high rates of overall mental health abnormalities. Therefore, the constructed model of adolescent physical and mental health promotion was confirmed to be dependable; general self-efficacy and sleep duration are the adolescent physical activities that play multiple mediating effects in mental health promotion.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis research seeks to propose an innovative mathematical approach for measuring student performance in engineering education. This paper also includes a detailed analysis and the numerical solutions to this mathematical model. The designed mathematical model is constructed upon four categories, average candidates, weak candidates, below average candidates and good candidates. For the numerical results of the designed nonlinear mathematical model, the analysis through the Adams numerical scheme is applied for solving the differential system based on the migration rate and average student rate moves to weak and above average. Moreover, artificial neural network is also applied to get the stochastic results ANNs-LMB, also known as Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm. The ANNs-LMB procedures have been implemented with three samples of data scales using the authentication, testing and training, which are chosen as 75%, 15% and 10%, respectively. According to the findings, when the rate of students leaving engineering studies increased, good students performed better, and when the rate of students below average moved, it was due to an increase in the rate of migration above average, the performance of the good students was only impacted in this way. This research material can be used in different designs and models to improve the students’ performance.
Quantification accuracy of pseudo-nitzschia spp. eDNA a harmful red tide organism: comparison of filter pore size
Authors: Yun Kun-woo , Son Hwa-seong , Seong Min-jun , Kim Mu-chan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
Acomparative analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) quantification methods requires the specific detection of a single species and the eDNA yield from the filter must be high. Studies have collected eDNA using a relatively small (>1.0 mm) filter, which compromiseseDNA accuracy due to clogging of the filter in a large space, such as the ocean or water with high turbidity. Therefore, here we established an eDNA sampling method using a large-pore filter to minimize clogging.
Methods and Results
SYBR Green qPCRhas been used to analyze Pseudo-nitzschiaspp. However, we observed that there may be an overestimation due to a false-positive signal. Thus, a new specific TaqMan primer–probe set was developed and usedin this study. The morphological detection method under conventional microscopy and the two eDNA qPCR methods (TaqMan, SYBR Green) were then compared to determine the correlation between cell abundance and Ctvalues. We observed that the eDNA yield was higher as the pore size increased, and the correlation between the abundance of morphologically identified Pseudo-nitzschia spp. Compared with the SYBR GreenqPCR data, the TaqMan qPCR Ct values were more specifically correlated with the Pseudo-nitzschia spp. cell abundance determined by the conventional method.
Conclusion
These results suggest that treatment with large amounts of seawater using large hole filters can yield high DNA yields, and existing morphological identification and eDNA method relative comparisons have access to quantitative evaluation.

Abstract
This paper presents an enhancement method to deal with the medical images which have low resolution as corneal images that have hexagonal nature and contain edges which must be preserved. So its resolution should be increased to help ophthalmologists to accurately diagnose and monitor diseases. Image interpolation is employed for resolution enhancement. In this paper, we consider interpolation techniques such as: polynomial interpolation, adaptive polynomial interpolation, inverse interpolation, and super-resolution (SR) reconstruction in order to enhance corneal image interpolation-based and learning-based techniques. The polynomial interpolation includes: bilinear, bicubic, cubic spline and cubic O-MOMS as well as their adaptive techniques. While the inverse interpolation techniques comprises linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE), maximum entropy, and a regularized image interpolation. Although polynomial based techniques are the most popular due to their simplicity, they don’t take into account the local activity levels of the image to be interpolated and cause a blurring effect in data.
Interpolation is applied to each pixel to adapt for changing local activity levels, this adaptation reduces the blur effect and provides a better visual quality. Polynomial interpolation and its adaptive techniques are called signal synthesis techniques because they are based on the use of known neighborhoods to synthesize unknown pixel values. However, they did not meet the prerequisites of modern sampling theory in the interpolation process, so a pre-filtering step is required in the reconstruction process; a correction filter is needed before the interpolation process to compensate for the non-ideality of the image acquisition model. This correction filter is obtained as the inverse of the cross-correlation sequence between the acquisition model filter and the reconstruction filter, hence the inverse interpolation technique is applied which is superior where low image degradation model is taken into consideration. Finally the SR technique is proposed and compared to other previous techniques. Simulations are conducted to investigate the performance of the considered proposed techniques. It is shown that the adaptive polynomial image interpolation methods and inverse interpolation techniques give satisfactory results in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), while the proposed SR technique is the most superior.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between radiographic severity and BMI, pain, and physical function in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: A total of 80 elderly women with knee OA were enrolled in this study. Their age, course of disease and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Radiographic severity was assessed with the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) scale, and pain, stiffness, and physical function were assessed with Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scales, objective assessment of patients' functional performance using the Time Up and Go (TUG) test. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between radiographic K/L scores and BMI, pain, and physical function. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the important factors contributing to knee OA severity.
Result：The mean age of the patients was 64.7 ± 6.77 years, and the mean course of disease was 5.02±2.12 years. There was no significant correlation between radiographic severity K/L and normal BMI (p=0.087), but there was a moderate correlation between radiographic severity K/L and high BMI (p=0.02, r=0.457). It was positively correlated with WOMAC pain, stiffness and physical function (p=0.001, r=0.447; p=0.004, r=0.316; p=0.025, r=0.250). In addition, K/L grading was positively correlated with TUG (p= 0.001, r=0.395). On the other hand, BMI, pain, and stiffness may be the important influencing factors of the severity of knee OA, while age, course of disease, and physical function have little influence on the severity of knee OA.
Conclusion: The radiographic severity of knee OA was correlated with high BMI, pain, and physical function, and high BMI, knee pain and stiffness were important factors for the severity of knee OA.
