Published: July 2023

IntroductionA significant proportion of currently enrolled college students receive support for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and these students are often at risk of academic failure. Retrieval practice or self-testing is an effective, accessible, and affordable tool for improving academic performance. Three recent studies found conflicting results with regards to the effectiveness of retrieval practice in this population.MethodsThe present study compared 36 individuals with ADHD to 36 controls. Participants studied Swahili-English word pairs that varied in difficulty. Half of the pairs were repeatedly studied, and the other half repeatedly tested.ResultsOn a final test, all participants showed a benefit of retrieval practice relative to restudy and participant status did not moderate the effect. However, unmedicated individuals with ADHD performed worse overall, both during the encoding phase and on the final test, whereas medicated participants were not significantly different from controls.DiscussionAn examination of self-reported encoding strategies found unmedicated participants used fewer deep strategies at encoding, consistent with prior work on ADHD and memory. Although retrieval practice is effective in this group, improved strategy use may be necessary to ensure performance that is fully equivalent to that of students without ADHD.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundAccess to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is a fundamental human right, but people with disabilities (PwDs) in low-and middle-income countries often face multiple barriers to utilisation. This study aimed to assess the level of SRH services utilisation and the enabling and inhibiting factors among PwDs in Ghana’s Ashanti region.MethodsA sequential explanatory mixed-methods study design was employed, involving quantitative (n = 402) and qualitative (n = 37) data collection from PwDs. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.ResultsThe study found that only 33.8% of the PwDs had ever used SRH services. Utilisation was associated with sex, marital status and travel duration to health facility. The qualitative data revealed that factors at the individual, family/community and health facility levels influenced utilisation of SRH services, acting as both enablers and barriers.ConclusionPwDs had relatively low utilisation of SRH services in Ghana’s Ashanti region. To increase utilisation, it is recommended to address the stigma and discrimination towards PwDs, provide more training for healthcare providers, improve the accessibility of healthcare facilities, and strengthen the national health insurance scheme. Further research could explore PwDs’ SRH outcomes and strategies to improve these outcomes in Ghana.
Positive solutions for nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems
Authors: Hollifield Elliott 
Published: July 2023

We consider a class of nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems satisfying the homogeneous Dirichlet condition on the exterior of a bounded domain. We prove the existence of a positive weak solution for classes of nonlinearities which are either sublinear or asymptotically linear at infinity. We use the method of sub-and-supersolutions to establish the results. We also provide numerical bifurcation diagrams, corresponding to the theoretical results, using the finite element method in one dimension.

Neuropathy in prediabetes
Authors: Ziegler Dan , Herder Christian , Papanas Nikolaos 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDiabetic neuropathies are the most frequent complications of diabetes, contributing to high morbidity, excess mortality, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. Prediabetes is characterised by glucose levels within an intermediate range above normoglycaemia yet below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes. In 2021, 10.6% and 6.2% of adults worldwide were estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose, respectively, the majority of whom are unaware of having prediabetes. Evidence has accumulated suggesting that prediabetes is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increased mortality. The past 2 decades have witnessed an extensive debate, particularly among diabetologists and neurologists, as to whether prediabetes is associated with peripheral neuropathy. In this review, we elaborate on the current evidence, particularly from population‐based studies supporting an increased risk of distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in people with prediabetes. Moreover, we discuss whether lifestyle interventions showing efficacy in preventing or delaying the transition from prediabetes to diabetes in persons with prediabetes may also exert favourable effects on the development and progression of DSPN and CAN. This review should help in raising the awareness of and translating the current knowledge on neuropathies in people with prediabetes into clinical practice and public health. The current recommendation that adults who are overweight or obese should be screened for prediabetes and referred to or offered preventive interventions should ultimately culminate in preventing not only CVD but also prediabetic neuropathy.

Published: July 2023

AbstractExpansion microscopy (ExM) is a promising technology that enables nanoscale imaging on conventional optical microscopes by physically magnifying the specimens. Here, we report the development of a strategy that enables i) on-demand labeling of subcellular organelles in live cells for ExM through transfection of fluorescent proteins that are well-retained during the expansion procedure; and ii) non-fluorescent chromogenic color-development towards efficient bright-field and photoacoustic imaging in both planar and volumetric formats, which is applicable to both cultured cells and biological tissues. Compared to the conventional ExM methods, our strategy provides an expanded toolkit, which we term as expansion fluorescence and photoacoustic microscopy (ExFLPAM), by allowing on-demand fluorescent protein labeling of cultured cells, as well as non-fluorescent absorption contrast-imaging of biological samples.

AbstractNon-coding RNA (ncRNA) plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses, growth, and development in plants and animals. Here, the identification, characteristic investigation, and molecular verification of circRNAs inApis cerana ceranalarval guts were conducted, and the expression pattern of larval circRNAs duringAscosphaera apisinfection was analyzed. This was followed by exploration of the potential regulatory part of differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) in host immune responses. A total of 3178 circRNAs in the larval guts ofA. c. ceranawere identified, with a length distribution ranging from 15 nt to 96007 nt. Additionally, 45, 33, and 48 up-regulated circRNAs, as well as 110, 62, and 38 down-regulated circRNAs were identified in theA.-apis-inoculated 4-, 5-, and 6-day-old larval guts in comparison with the corresponding uninoculated larval guts. These DEcircRNAs were predicted to target 29, 25, and 18 parental genes, which were relative to 12, 20, and 17 GO terms as well as 144, 114, and 61 KEGG pathways, including five cellular and four humoral immune pathways containing melanization, phagosomes, lysosomes, endocytosis, apoptosis, MAPK, Ras, and Jak-STAT signaling pathways. Furthermore, complex competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks were detected as being formed among DEcircRNAs, DEmiRNAs, and DEmRNAs. The target DEmRNAs were engaged in 36, 47, and 47 GO terms as well as 331, 332, and 331 pathways, including six cellular and six humoral immune-related pathways. In total, nineteen DEcircRNAs, five DEmiRNAs, and three mRNAs were included in the sub-networks relative to three antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Finally, back-splicing sites within 15 circRNAs and the difference in the 15 DEcircRNAs’ expression between uninoculated andA.-apis-inoculated larval guts were confirmed utilizing molecular methods. These findings not only enrich our understanding of bee host–fungal pathogen interactions, but also lay a foundation for illuminating the mechanism underlying the DEcircRNA-mediated immune defense ofA. c. ceranalarvae againstA. apisinvasion.

AbstractBackground & AimsPNPLA3 rs738409 has been associated with an increased risk of liver‐related events in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the epidemiology of NAFLD and the impact of PNPLA3 on prognosis in Japan.MethodsA longitudinal multicentre cohort study, the JAGUAR study, includes 1550 patients with biopsy‐proven NAFLD in Japan. We performed genetic testing and evaluated outcomes from this cohort. Liver‐related events were defined as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and decompensated liver cirrhosis events.ResultsDuring follow‐up (median [range], 7.1 [1.0–24.0] years), 80 patients developed HCC, 104 developed liver‐related events, and 59 died of any cause. The 5‐year rate of liver‐related events for each single‐nucleotide polymorphism was 0.5% for CC, 3.8% for CG, and 5.8% for GG. Liver‐related deaths were the most common (n = 28); only three deaths were due to cardiovascular disease. Multivariate analysis identified carriage of PNPLA3 CG/GG (hazard ratio [HR] 16.04, p = .006) and FIB‐4 index >2.67 (HR 10.70, p < .01) as predictors of liver‐related event development. No HCC or liver‐related death was found among patients with PNPLA3 CC. There was a significantly increased risk of HCC, liver‐related events, and mortality for CG/GG versus CC, but no difference between the CG and GG genotypes.ConclusionsIn Japanese individuals, the main cause of death from NAFLD is liver‐related death. The greater risk of liver‐related events incurred by PNPLA3 G allele was shown in Japan. Risk stratification for NAFLD in Japan is best accomplished by integrating PNPLA3 with the FIB‐4 index.
VeLeRo: An inflected verbal lexicon of Standard Romanian and a quantitative analysis of morphological predictability
Authors: Herce Borja , Pricop Bogdan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper presents VeLeRo, an inflected lexicon of Standard Romanian which contains the full paradigm of 7297 verbs in phonological form. We explain the process by which the resource was compiled, and how stress, diphthongs and hiatus, consonant palatalization, and other relevant issues were handled in phonemization. On the basis of the most token-frequent verbs in VeLeRo, we also perform a quantitative analysis of morphological predictability in Romanian verbs, whose complexity patterns are presented within the broader Romance context.
Pseudo-differential operators with forbidden symbols on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
Authors: Ye Xiaofeng , Zhu Xiangrong 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this note, we consider a pseudo-differential operator $T_a$ defined as \begin{align*} T_a f(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}e^{2\pi ix\cdot\xi}a(x,\xi)\widehat{f}(\xi)d\xi. \end{align*} It is well-known that $T_a$ is not bounded on $L^2$ in general when $a$ belongs to the forbidden H\"{o}rmander class $S^{n(\rho-1)/2}_{\rho,1},0\leq \rho \leq 1$. In this note, when $s>0,0\leq \rho \leq 1,1\leq r\leq 2$ and $a\in S^{n(\rho-1)/r}_{\rho,1}$, we prove that $T_a$ is bounded on the Triebel-Lizorkin space $F^s_{p,q}$ if $r

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Dialogue systems have attracted growing research interests due to its widespread applications in various domains. Existing studies on classification tasks in dialogue systems majorly focus on the sentence-level intent recognition of users’ utterances. While in real-world applications, classification of the entire dialogue, also benefits many downstream tasks such as customer satisfaction analysis, service quality assurance, dialogue topic categorization, etc. In this paper, we propose DialGNN, a heterogeneous graph neural network framework tailored for the problem of dialogue classification which takes the entire dialogue as input. Specifically, a heterogeneous graph is constructed with nodes in different levels of semantic granularity. The graph framework allows flexible integration of various pre-trained language representation models, such as BERT and its variants, which endows DialGNN with powerful text representational capabilities. The experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate the robustness and the effectiveness of the proposed DialGNN framework. The implementation of DialGNN and related data are shared through https://github.com/anonymous-auth/ DialGNN.
Afterpulse and dark count simulator for single photon avalanche detector

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Avalanche single photon detector detects the presence or absence of photons and their reception frequency. One of the most important challenges of using InGaAs semiconductor in single-photon detectors is detecting error pulses in two categories of dark counting and afterpulse counting. Dark counting is the revealing output pulses that are created in conditions of no photon reception. its leading cause is due to temperature effects on the carriers. Afterpulse is another undesirable factor that occurs due to the trapping of carriers after the avalanche failure event in the detector. The trapped carriers accelerate due to the electric field applied to the detector and create another avalanche breakdown called afterpulse. Due to the importance of the error resulting from dark and afterpulse counting in photon detection and the need to analyze, optimize and reduce its effects, it is necessary to simulate their behavior. In this article, a new method of simulating noise of SPADs is presented. In the proposed model, FPGA chip is used to generate error pulses. The proposed FPGA model is XC3S400 from Xilinx. By the VHDL hardware design code, the parameters effective in creating the dark pulse, and afterpulse are placed in their simulator equations. the results appear in the output as unwanted pulses next to the photon pulses.

Changing trends in blood component utilisation during COVID time: Analysis of 1096 COVID-19 in patients
Authors: Jose Chris , Pailoor Kirana 
Published: July 2023

Introduction and Aim: In the global pandemic caused by Covid-19, older individuals and those with comorbidities have been shown to be more susceptible to serious diseases. The purpose of our research is to estimate the proportion of Covid-19 inpatients requiring blood transfusions over a period of 3 months.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational analysis of blood product consumption in Covid-19 inpatients at our center from April to June 2021 was conducted by reviewing monthly transfusion records archived in our blood bank. Each blood component administered in Covid-19 wards during the prescribed period was noted.

Results: Out of 1096 Covid-19 inpatients, only 66 (6.02%) patients received transfusions. As compared to non-Covid wards, Covid-19 wards had substantially lower transfusion rates for packed cell units (84 vs. 1074 units), FFP (33 vs. 691 units), and platelets (46 vs. 595 units). A total of 163 units of blood components were given to 66 Covid-19 inpatients, the majority of which were packed cell units (51.5%).

Conclusion: In comparison to hospitalized non Covid patients, Covid-19 inpatients required fewer transfusions. In our institute, only the Covid 19 patients who were critically sick received blood transfusions; the rest received conservative therapy for their mild to moderate illnesses. This information will be beneficial for our department as it helps us plan and prepare for the use of blood supplies while the pandemic is still going strong.
