Introduction
Mortality prediction aids clinical decision-making and is necessary for trauma quality improvement initiatives. Conventional injury severity scores are often not feasible in low-resource settings. We hypothesize that clinician assessment will be more feasible and have comparable discrimination of mortality compared to conventional scores in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Methods
Between 2017 and 2019, injury data were collected from all injured patients as part of a prospective, four-hospital trauma registry in Cameroon. Clinicians used physical exam at presentation to assign a highest estimated abbreviated injury scale (HEAIS) for each patient. Discrimination of hospital mortality was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves. Discrimination of HEAIS was compared with conventional scores. Data missingness for each score was reported.

Results
Of 9,635 presenting with injuries, there were 206 in-hospital deaths (2.2%). Compared to 97.5% of patients with HEAIS scores, only 33.2% had sufficient data to calculate a Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and 24.8% had data to calculate a Kampala Trauma Score (KTS). Data from 2,328 patients with all scores was used to compare models. Although statistically inferior to the prediction generated by RTS (AUC 0.92–0.98) and KTS (AUC 0.93–0.99), HEAIS provided excellent overall discrimination of mortality (AUC 0.84–0.92). Among 9,269 patients with HEAIS scores was strongly predictive of mortality (AUC 0.93–0.96).

Conclusion
Clinical assessment of injury severity using HEAIS strongly predicts hospital mortality and far exceeds conventional scores in feasibility. In contexts where traditional scoring systems are not feasible, utilization of HEAIS could facilitate improved data quality and expand access to quality improvement programming.

Published: March 2023

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the psychosocial well-being of the United Arab Emirates [UAE] population like other communities internationally.

Objectives
We aimed to identify the factors associated with psychological distress, fear, and coping amongst community members across the UAE.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional online survey across the UAE during November 2020. Adults aged ≥18 years, living in the UAE who were able to respond to an online questionnaire in English or Arabic were considered eligible to participate in the study. We used standard validated tools to measure psychological distress, fear and coping. Kessler Psychological Distress Scale [K10] was used to assess psychological distress, Fear of COVID-19 Scale [FCV-19S] was used to assess the level of fear, and Brief Resilient Coping Scale [BRCS] was used to assess the coping strategies.

Results
A total of 417 individuals participated in this study with a mean age of 29 [± 10.7] years. More than half of the participants experienced high to very high levels of psychological distress [55%] and a quarter experienced high levels of fear of COVID-19 [23.3%] with almost a third of them [36.2%] having low resilient coping. About 37.4% of the participants had work-related mental health impacts and 32.4% were perceived to have moderate to a great deal of distress due to a change of employment status during the pandemic. One in ten participants [9.4%] reported increased smoking. Increased smoking [AOR 8.66, 95% CIs 1.08–69.1,], increased alcohol drinking [AOR 2.39, 95% CIs 1.05–5.47] and higher levels of fear of COVID-19 [AOR 2.93, 95% CIs 1.83–4.67] were associated with moderate to very high levels of psychological distress. Being female [AOR 1.82, p = 0.030], having a pre-existing mental health condition [AOR 9.88, 95% p = 0.027], engaging in high-risk behaviors such as increased smoking [AOR 21.14, p = 0.003], increased alcohol drinking [AOR 1.48, p = 0.359] in the previous four weeks, and higher levels of fear of COVID-19 [AOR 4.18, p <0.001] were associated with moderate to very high levels of psychological distress. Also, being a smoker [AOR, 0.840, p = 0.011], and having a high level of fear [AOR 0.372, p = 0.001] were found to be associated with low resilient coping.

Conclusion
Community members in the UAE are at a higher risk of psychosocial distress and fear during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, healthcare providers and policymakers would need to be more alert to provide specific mental health support strategies for their wellbeing.
Investigating suicide related behaviours across sexual orientation and neighbourhood deprivation levels: A cohort study using linked health administrative data
Authors: Azra Karanpreet Kaur , Nielsen Andrew , Kim Chungah , Dusing Gabriel John , Chum Antony 
Published: March 2023

Background
There have been no studies examining how neighbourhood deprivation modifies the effects of sexual minority status on suicide-related behaviours (SRB). Sexual minority individuals in deprived areas may face unique challenges and stressors that exacerbate their risk of SRB. This study aims to investigate the association between sexual minority status and clinical SRB, and examine whether the effect of neighbourhood deprivation differs across sexual orientation.

Methods
A population-representative survey sample (169,090 respondents weighted to represent 8,778,120 individuals; overall participation rate 75%) was linked to administrative health data in Ontario, Canada to measure SRB-related events (emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths) from 2007 to 2017. Neighbourhood-level deprivation was measured using the Ontario Marginalisation index measure of material deprivation at the dissemination area level. Discrete-time survival analysis models, stratified by sex, tested the effects of neighbourhood deprivation and sexual minority status, while controlling for individual-level covariates.

Results
Sexual minority men had 2.79 times higher odds of SRB compared to their heterosexual counterparts (95% CI 1.66 to 4.71), while sexual minority women had 2.14 times higher odds (95% CI 1.54 to 2.98). Additionally, neighbourhood deprivation was associated with higher odds of SRB: men in the most deprived neighbourhoods (Q5) had 2.01 times higher odds (95% CI 1.38 to 2.92) of SRB compared to those in the least deprived (Q1), while women had 1.75 times higher odds (95% CI 1.28 to 2.40). No significant interactions were observed between sexual minority status and neighbourhood deprivation levels.

Conclusion
In both men and women, sexual minority status and neighbourhood deprivation are independent risk factors for SRB. Despite the lack of effect modification, sexual minorities living in the most deprived neighbourhoods have the highest chances of SRB. Future investigations should evaluate interventions and policies to improve sexual minority mental health and address neighbourhood deprivation.

Authors: Jung Franziska U. C. E. , Gerhards Sina , Luppa Melanie , Löbner Margrit , Riedel-Heller Steffi G. 
Published: March 2023

Objective
The aim of this study was to determine the association of mental health issues associated with BMI and gender in the oldest old population (secondary data analyses).

Method
The data were taken from the second follow-up of a long-term study investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health in oldest old individuals (range: 77–96 years). The response rate was 80.0%. Apart from sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, weight and height); anxiety, depression, somatic complaints and social support were assessed in this survey.

Results
Analyses revealed gender-specific differences, indicating that male participants with excess weight show more complaints compared to their counterparts without excess weight. According to regression results, BMI was associated with somatization, but not depression or anxiety.

Conclusion
High BMI contributed to more somatic complaints and men may be affected differently by BMI regarding their mental well-being. Longitudinal results are needed in order to confirm these findings and develop suitable interventions based on individual needs of the oldest old.

INTRODUCTION:
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance leads to favorable outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B. HBsAg levels <200 IU/mL with HBsAg decline >0.5 log10 IU/mL in 1 year have been reportedly predictive of HBsAg loss. This study aimed to use the REVEAL-hepatitis B virus cohort to validate and simplify this prediction rule and verify whether the simplified algorithm can be used among various clinical subgroups.

METHOD:
We analyzed 707 patients with untreated chronic hepatitis B who had 3 or more HBsAg measurements within 5 years before HBsAg seroclearance or last visit, greater than 1 year apart from one another. Rapid HBsAg decline was defined as HBsAg decline >0.5 log10 IU/mL in 1 year or >1 log10 IU/mL in 2 years. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values were compared to assess the predictability of HBsAg seroclearance.

RESULTS:
During a median follow-up of 10.7 years, 41 of the 707 patients cleared serum HBsAg. HBsAg levels at all measurements were lower (P < 0.0001) and HBsAg decline was greater (P < 0.0001) in patients with seroclearance compared with non-seroclearance patients. The predictive accuracy of predicting 1-year HBsAg loss using only the rapid decline algorithm (sensitivity = 0.4412, specificity = 0.9792, positive predictive value = 0.5172, negative predictive value = 0.972) was the same as the model combining rapid HBsAg decline and HBsAg levels <200 IU/mL. The simplified algorithm including only the rapid decline performed similarly among various levels of HBsAg, hepatitis B virus DNA, and alanine aminotransferase and was independent of inactive carrier state.

DISCUSSION:
HBsAg decline >0.5 log10 IU/mL/yr was a practical predictor of HBsAg seroclearance within 1 year in our community-based untreated cohort.
A review of hydrogen embrittlement in gas transmission pipeline steels
Authors: Hoschke Joshua , Chowdhury Md Fahdul Wahab , Venezuela Jeffrey , Atrens Andrej 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Hydrogen transport by blending hydrogen into natural gas transmission pipelines and by pure-hydrogen pipelines is a prospective mode of energy transmission during the transition to renewables. The risk of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in pipeline steels must first be quantified to ensure safe pipeline operation. This review provides an overview of HE in pipeline steels. Most pipeline steels have reduced ductility when exposed to hydrogen partial pressures of 100 bar and above. Higher-strength pipeline steels (X80 and X100) have been found to undergo HE at ∼50 bar hydrogen. Hydrogen-induced subcritical crack growth in pipeline steels has not been reported in the literature. There are few articles on HE in pipeline welds, with some indications that the weld is more susceptible to HE, and some indications that it is less. The relationship between hydrogen pressure and absorbed hydrogen concentration has not been evaluated. Gaps in knowledge are identified in the conclusions.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Compatible solutes control cell osmotic balance and compatible the cells’ metabolism whereas nano-particles have been introduced to increase crop production with inadequate knowledge. This investigation is done to evaluate the effects of application of salicylic acid, glycine betaine and nano titanium dioxide on sunflower. Measured traits were plant height (PH), leaf length (LL), chlorophyll content (CHL), number of seeds per head (NSH), 1000-seed weight (TSW), day to maturity (DM), husk percentage (HP), kernel weight (KW), percentage of empty achenes (PEA), head number per plant (HNP), grain yield (GY) and oil percent (OIL). Results indicated that the first two principal components accounted 92% of total variation of the treatment by trait (T × T) interaction and were used to generate a T × T biplot. All treatments were identified as the vertex treatments in polygon of TT biplot and the nano titanium dioxide treatment had high values for all traits expect PEA, HP and TSW. The nano titanium dioxide was identified as ideal treatment and GY and HNP were identified as ideal traits. The positive correlations between HNP and GY, and between OIL and KW; and near zero correlations between TSW and HP, and between TSW with DM as showed. Application of compatible organic solutes (glycine betaine and salicylic acid) had not any considerable improvement on traits while application of nano-titanium dioxide indicated considerably enhanced the yield and most traits of sunflower.
Pragmatist Empiricism (Towards a Conception of Human Being)
Authors: Višňovský Emil 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The paper discusses the relation of philosophical pragmatism to empiricism as the backdrop to understanding human being. The crux of the problem is the relation between language and experience. The author argues that pragmatist empiricism is based on the concept that human practices are transactions, which includes both non-linguistic as well as linguistic practices. Within pragmatist anthropological philosophy, experience is a complex of transactions between humans and reality. Humans are both natural/physical and cultural/linguistic beings, whose living experience involves transactions with both the natural and the sociocultural environment. The dualism between language and experience is false and should be abandoned.
Animating Eco-aesthetics: Multiplanar Images, Interspecies Government, and Eco-conscious Gaming in The Legend of Hei (2019) and Its TV Series (2011–Present)
Authors: Guo Li 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This study on the animation feature The Legend of Hei (2019) and its TV animation series (2011 to the present) endeavors to explore nascent models of eco-aesthetics in Chinese animation through an intersectional framework bridging studies of eco-politics, eco-cinema, and contemporary animation and media studies. Through close analysis of multiplanar imaging and limited animation in the animation feature, I discuss how varied animation techniques in the film contribute to aesthetic effects of appearance and disappearance, diversified characterization, and representations of contesting models of ecological subjectivities, bio-politics, and environmental governance. Contrary to a radical ecologist’s approach that resorts to forceful undertakings to “rescue nature,” the animation projects an alternative ethico-political method that promotes co-existence, inter-species governance, tolerance, and the art of “letting be.” The latter half of the essay situates the TV animation series The Battle of Luo Xiaohei in the milieu of eco-cinema and media ecology. I argue that the TV animation’s transmedial presentation of ACG gaming, platformativity, and parasocial participation of gamers, human characters and elfin alike, offer new insights on videogaming as social and cultural responses to environmental crises, also drawing attention to the ethico-political potential of parasocial gameplay in promoting democratic ideals of ecosystem governance.
The Role of Association: New Thinking on “Exposition, Comparison, Association” in Films
Authors: Wang Haizhou , Yu Jian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Crucial to the exploration of the nationalization of Chinese films, the concept of exposition (赋 fu), comparison (比 bi), and association (兴 xing) in films has gained much significance. While these concepts still need refining, an in-depth exploration of the terms is still necessary. This article reviews the theoretical term exposition, comparison, association, and argues that it should not be treated simply as pure rhetorical discourse. In particular, any interpretation of association should address the historical and cultural context of early Chinese society, and the early analogical thinking implied in association should be taken as an entry point for exploring the ambiguous ideographic role revealed by this aesthetic concept and extend it to film studies, so as to capture the unique image thinking in Chinese films and other Eastern cinema, which differs from the aesthetic logic of Western films.
An intelligent algorithm for fast machine translation of long English sentences
Authors: He Hengheng 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Translation of long sentences in English is a complex problem in machine translation. This work briefly introduced the basic framework of intelligent machine translation algorithm and improved the long short-term memory (LSTM)-based intelligent machine translation algorithm by introducing the long sentence segmentation module and reordering module. Simulation experiments were conducted using the public corpus and the local corpus containing self-collected linguistic data. The improved algorithm was compared with machine translation algorithms based on a recurrent neural network and LSTM. The results suggested that the LSTM-based machine translation algorithm added with the long sentence segmentation module and reordering module effectively segmented long sentences and translated long English sentences more accurately, and the translation was more grammatically correct.

Review of the pharmacokinetics of nanodrugs
Authors: Shao Xiaotong , Shi Changkuo , Wu Shuqing , Wang Fei , Li Wenliang 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) are a hotspot of new drug delivery systems with great development potential. They provide new approaches to fighting against diseases. NDDSs are specially designed to serve as carriers for the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients to their target sites, and their unique physicochemical characteristics allow for prolonged circulation time, improved targeting, and avoidance of drug resistance. Despite remarkable progress achieved in the preparation and efficacy evaluation of NDDSs, the understanding of the in vivo pharmacokinetics of NDDSs is still insufficient. Analysis of NDDSs is far more complicated than that for small molecular drugs; thus, almost all conventional techniques are inadequate for accurate profiling of their pharmacokinetic behaviour in vivo. In this article, we systematically reviewed the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of NDDSs and summarized the advanced bioanalytic techniques for tracing the in vivo fate of NDDSs. We also reviewed the physiologically based pharmacokinetic model of NDDS, which has been a useful tool in characterizing and predicting the systemic disposition, target exposure, and efficacy/toxicity of various types of drugs when coupled with pharmacodynamic modelling. We hope that this review will be helpful in improving the understanding of NDDS pharmacokinetics and facilitating the development of NDDSs.

Abstract
The silicide Eu2Ru3Si5 was synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum tube in a high-frequency furnace, while the gallide Eu2Ir3Ga5 was obtained by arc-melting. Both structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: P4/mnc, a = 1072.69(8), c = 569.55(5) pm, wR = 0.0453, 617 F
2 values, 31 variables for Eu2Ru3Si5 and a = 1122.18(7), c = 583.17(4) pm, wR = 0.0546, 729 F
2 values, 31 variables for Eu2Ir3Ga4.95(1). The gallide shows small defects on one 8h site. The transition metal atoms in Eu2Ru3Si5 and Eu2Ir3Ga5 have octahedral p element coordination. These Ru@Si6 respectively Ir@Ga6 polyhedra are condensed to three-dimensional [Ru3Si5]6− respectively [Ir3Ga5]4− polyanionic networks. The ground states of Eu(III) in Eu2Ru3Si5 and Eu(II) in Eu2Ir3Ga5 were determined by 151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy.
