Range selective phase-shifting frequency-modulated digital holography with temporal-heterodyning
Authors: Hammond Cole , Babbitt Wm. Randall , Mohan R. Krishna 
Published: January 2023

We demonstrate that a time of flight (TOF) camera can be used to
perform range selective temporal-heterodyne frequency-modulated
continuous wave digital holography (TH FMCW DH). The modulated arrayed
detection of a TOF camera allows efficient integration of holograms at
a selected range with range resolutions significantly less than the
optical system’s depth of field. TH FMCW DH also allows for
on-axis geometries to be achieved, where background light not at the
internal modulation frequency of the camera is filtered out. Range
selective TH FMCW DH imaging was achieved for both image holograms and
Fresnel holograms using on-axis DH geometries. A 2.39 GHz FMCW
chirp bandwidth resulted in a DH range resolution of
6.3 cm.

Published: January 2023

Objective
Prenatal happiness and life satisfaction research are often over-shadowed by other pregnancy and birth outcomes. This analysis investigated the level of, and factors associated with happiness amongst pregnant women in the United Arab Emirates.

Methods
Baseline cross-sectional data was analyzed from the Mutaba’ah Study, a large population-based prospective cohort study in the UAE. This analysis included all expectant mothers who completed the baseline self-administered questionnaire about sociodemographic and pregnancy-related information between May 2017 and July 2021. Happiness was assessed on a 10-point scale (1 = very unhappy; 10 = very happy). Regression models were used to evaluate the association between various factors and happiness.

Results
Overall, 9,350 pregnant women were included, and the majority (60.9%) reported a happiness score of ≥8 (median). Higher levels of social support, planned pregnancies and primi-gravidity were independently associated with higher odds of being happier; adjusted odds ratio (aOR (95% CI): 2.02 (1.71–2.38), 1.34 (1.22–1.47), and 1.41 (1.23–1.60), respectively. Women anxious about childbirth had lower odds of being happier (aOR: 0.58 (0.52–0.64).

Conclusion
Self-reported happiness levels were high among pregnant women in the UAE. Health services enhancing social support and promoting well-being during pregnancy and childbirth may ensure continued happiness during pregnancy in the UAE.
Effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on glycemic control, and weight reduction in adults: A multivariate meta-analysis
Authors: Yeh Tzu-Lin , Tsai Ming-Chieh , Tsai Wen-Hsuan , Tu Yu-Kang , Chien Kuo-Liong 
Published: January 2023

Aims
To explore the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RAs) on glycemic control and weight reduction in adults.

Methods
Databases were searched from August 2021 to March 2022. Data were analyzed using mean difference (MD) values with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Both random-and fixed-effect models were employed. Heterogeneity was explored using pre-specified subgroup analyses and meta-regression. Structural equation modeling fitting was used for the multivariate meta-analysis.

Results
A total of 31 double-blind randomized controlled trials with 22,948 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The MD and 95% CI of the pooled GLP1-RA-induced change in the glycated hemoglobin level was -0.78% (-0.97%, -0.60%) in the random-effects model and -0.45% (-0.47%, -0.44%) in the fixed-effect model, with a high heterogeneity (I2 = 97%). The pooled body weight reduction was -4.05 kg (-5.02 kg, -3.09 kg) in the random-effects model and -2.04 kg (-2.16 kg, -1.92 kg) in the fixed-effect model (I2 = 98%). The standardized pooled correlation coefficient between HbA1c levels and body weight was -0.42. A negative correlation between glycemic control and weight reduction was obtained.

Conclusion
Long-acting GLP-1 RAs significantly reduced the glycated hemoglobin level and body weight in adults.
Short‐term removal of exercise impairs glycemic control in older adults: A randomized trial
Authors: Reynolds Leryn J. , Williams Troy M. , Harden Joel E. , Twiddy Hannah M. , Kearney Monica L. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPostprandial glycemia (PPG) predicts cardiovascular disease, and short‐term physical inactivity increases PPG in young, active adults. Whether this occurs in older, active adults who may be more prone to bouts of inactivity is unknown. This study determined if postprandial interstitial glucose (PPIG) was impaired in active older adults following the removal of exercise for 3 days (NOEX) compared to active young adults. In this randomized, crossover study, 11 older (69.1 ± 1.9 years) and 9 young (32.8 ± 1.8 years) habitually active (≥90 min/week of exercise) adults completed 3‐days of NOEX and 3‐days of normal habitual exercise (EX), separated by ≥1 week. Diet was standardized across phases. Glycemic control (3‐day average) was assessed via continuous glucose monitoring during both phases. Significant main effects of age and phase were detected (p < 0.05), but no interaction was found for steps/day (p > 0.05) (old EX: 6283 ± 607, old NOEX: 2380 ± 382 and young EX: 8798 ± 623, young NOEX: 4075 ± 516 steps/day). Significant main effects of age (p = 0.002) and time (p < 0.001) existed for 1‐h PPIG, but no effect of phase or interactions was found (p > 0.05). Significant main effects (p < 0.05) of age (old: 114 ± 1 mg/dl, young: 106 ± 1 mg/dl), phase (NOEX: 112 ± 1 mg/dl, EX: 108 ± 1 mg/dl), and time (0 min: 100 ± 2, 30 min: 118 ± 2, 60 min: 116 ± 2, 90 min: 111 ± 2, 120 min: 108 ± 2 mg/dl) in 2‐h PPIG were detected, but no interaction was found (p > 0.05). However, only significant main effects of phase (NOEX: 14 ± 1 and EX:12 ± 1, p > 0.05) were found for 24‐h blood glucose standard deviation. Older adults appear to have impaired glycemic control compared to young adults and exercise removal impairs glycemic control in both populations. Yet, the impairment in glycemic control with exercise removal is not different between old and young adults.
Asymptotic stability of equilibria for difference equations via fixed points of enriched Prešić operators
Authors: Păcurar Mădălina 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We introduced a new general class of Prešić-type operators, by enriching the known class of Prešić contractions. We established conditions under which enriched Prešić operators possess a unique fixed point, proving the convergence of two different iterative methods to the fixed point. We also gave a data dependence result that was finally applied in proving the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium of a certain k-th order difference equation.
Mild depolymerization of alkaline lignin in a formic acid-choline chloride type deep eutectic solvent system

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The degradation of lignin can generate a variety of products with diverse applications. Lignin is abundant on earth; however, its high molecular weight and stable properties impede its development. Currently, acid-catalyzed degradation of lignin is a relatively common and promising catalytic method, particularly DES catalytic degradation, which is not only environmentally friendly but also features an excellent degradation effect. This report discusses the degradation mechanism and effect of the formic acid-choline chloride DES system for the degradation of alkaline lignin. According to fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, it is evident that the phenolic hydroxyl content of lignin increases after degradation, which indicates the cleavage of β-O-4′ ether bonds in the macromolecular structure. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was employed to determine the molecular weight of degraded lignin, and regenerated lignin with low molecular weight and low dispersibility was obtained. The minimum average molecular weight (M

w
) was 2.3 × 103 g/mol. During the depolymerization process, it was also discovered that the repolymerization and degradation reactions formed a competitive relationship. The lignin oil contained primarily propanoic acid ethyl ester, acetic acid butyl ester, 2-methoxy-4-propyl phenol, 2-methoxy phenol, and apocynin, as determined by GC-MS.

Thesis. This paper aims to present the Intergenerational Bridge: Connect to Create project and its final results. The project enabled the collection of good practices, development of the set of activities, and structuring the knowledge regarding intergenerational learning (IGL) approach and its use with the groups of senior-aged (55+) and younger (16-30 years old) learners.
Concept. In the frame of this project partners shared best practices in IGL approach, developed new ideas of IGL workshops, and implemented them in local communities. The Manual includes theoretical basics concerning intergenerational learning, two preparation workshops for educators that would like to know more about Intergenerational education, and 12 tried and tested intergenerational activities.
Results and conclusion. During the course of the project, a toolkit of more than 80 pages was prepared in order to provide Adult educators with the knowledge and skills required to deliver their own workshops with the use of an IGL approach. Workshops were tested with seniors and young people from 6 different countries. At least 20 older people (55+) and 10 younger people (16+) per each country attended the workshops. The presented set of activities can be used by senior citizens' clubs, third age universities and other informal educational and therapeutic groups. The examples collected in this manual show that, in addition to activities designed to harness the potential of different generations, it is also worth considering how to adapt typical activities to the needs of intergenerational education.

Published: January 2023

Gaze input, i.e., information input via eye of users, represents a promising method for contact-free interaction in human-machine systems. In this paper, we present the GazeVending interface (GaVe), which lets users control actions on a display with their eyes. The interface works on a regular webcam, available on most of today's laptops, and only requires a short one-point calibration before use. GaVe is designed in a hierarchical structure, presenting broad item cluster to users first and subsequently guiding them through another selection round, which allows the presentation of a large number of items. Cluster/item selection in GaVe is based on the dwell time, i.e., the time duration that users look at a given Cluster/item. A user study (N=22) was conducted to test optimal dwell time thresholds and comfortable human-to-display distances. Users' perception of the system, as well as error rates and task completion time were registered. We found that all participants were able to quickly understand and know how to interact with the interface, and showed good performance, selecting a target item within a group of 12 items in 6.76 seconds on average. We provide design guidelines for GaVe and discuss the potentials of the system.
Innovative Public-legal Regimes: what Makes them Innovative? Some Initial Thoughts
Authors: Degtyarev M. V. 
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the issues of determining the content and ontology of innovative public-legal regimes. The author gives the author’s concept of legal understanding and interpretation of the concept of “legal regime”.Key questions raised in the article — what specifically gives grounds to consider one or another public-legal regime as innovative. What is the core of the novelty in the ontology that allows us to talk about it?The article emphasizes that today a great many definitions of the concept of “innovation” are known and used, but most of them in relation to public-legal regimes do not provide any clear meaningful characteristics.Glancing at the topic of innovation in the regulatory space, the author concludes that a legal innovation can be: 1) a fundamentally new regulatory solution in the form of a proposal for legislative changes; 2) a fundamentally new law enforcement procedure, an algorithmic chain; 3) a new law enforcement approach; 4) a new legal principle intended for embedding in the activities of public administration bodies; 5) a new paradigm in operating regulatory tools, goals, results, benefits.The author declares the article as posing a scientific problem, but at the same time the author offers a conceptual answer to the above questions.

Published: January 2023

Background: Peri-operative separation anxiety in children adversely impacts on their cognitive function and behavioural outcome. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of two different doses of oral midazolam premedication on separation anxiety in paediatric patients scheduled for herniotomy.
Methods: Eighty-four eligible children aged 1-6 years, of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I or II, scheduled for herniotomy, were randomized into two groups, A and B, of 42 each after ethical clearance and written parental consent. Children in group A and group B received 0.5 mg/kg and 0.75 mg/kg respectively of oral midazolam flavoured with paracetamol syrup, were observed, and later separated from parents at 30 min post-premedication. Premedicant acceptability was noted, and separation anxiety was assessed using the Richmond agitation sedation scale (RASS). Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: All 84 children completed the study. At 30 min post-premedication, 47.6% in group A and 19.1% in group B had light sedation, while 52.4% in group A and 80.9% in group B were moderately sedated, p=0.0001. Premedicant acceptability and agitation scores between the groups were comparable, p>0.05.
Conclusions: Oral 0.5 mg/kg and 0.75 mg/kg midazolam induced desirable sedation in children at the 30th min with comparable lower agitation scores; however, the 0.75 mg/kg dose achieved significantly faster onset and higher level of sedation in a greater proportion of the subjects.

Introduction:Health literacy is among the most critical factors affecting breast cancer survival. This study was designed and implemented with the aim of determining the level of health literacy and its predictors in women with breast cancer referring to university teaching hospitals and Javadolaeme Clinic in Kerman in 2021.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on women with breast cancer referred to university teaching hospitals and Javadolaeme Clinic in Kerman city in 2021. To collect data, a self-administered questionnaire including the demographic profile of the patients, and the valid and reliable Persian version of the health literacy of Iranian women with breast cancer (HELBA: Health Literacy of Breast Cancer for Adults) was used. The questionnaire was entered into SPSS version 20 software and analyzed.
Results: In this study, nearly 15.3% of participants had low health literacy. According to the univariate logistic regression model, the health literacy level of the study participants had a significant relationship with all the demographic variables included in the study except the age of the spouse (P<0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression model, only the spouse's education level had a significant relationship with the health literacy of the participants in the study. The chance of having health literacy was 4.33 times and 5.87 times (more likely in participants with spouses with a diploma level of education and participants with spouses with a university education than in participants with spouses with education below a diploma.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the level of health literacy in many women with breast cancer is sufficient, however, educational planning should be done to improve the level of literacy in this group, especially emphasizing the health literacy of the spouses.
