BackgroundMalnutrition is a major public health problem throughout the world especially in Southeast Asia. This study aims to find out nutritional status and its associated factors among under five Muslim children of Kapilvastu district Nepal.MethodsCommunity based cross-sectional study was conducted among 336 under five Muslim children in Kapilvastu district Nepal from December 2021 to May 2022. Multistage probability random sampling was used. Among ten local units, three were selected randomly. Then from selected three units, two wards from each unit which covers large proportion of Muslim were selected purposively. After selecting wards, listing of household having children 6 to 59 months was done with the help of Female Community Health Volunteers and 56 children were selected by simple random sampling from each wards.ResultsAbout half of Muslim children were underweight, 0.9% were overweight, 17.3% were wasted and 63.1% were stunted. Children with >4 members in family (AOR = 2.82, CI: 1.25–6.38), joint/extended family (AOR = 0.33, CI: 0.16–0.68), living with other than parents (AOR = 2.68, CI: 1.38–5.21), mother having primary (AOR = 2.59, CI: 1.09–6.10) and fathers having SLC and above education (AOR = 0.41, CI: 0.19–0.89), school going children (AOR = 0.27, CI: 0.15–0.48), no having agricultural land (AOR = 2.68, CI: 1.55–4.65), history of chronic diseases (AOR = 3.01, CI = 1.06–8.54) were significantly associated with underweight. Mothers having secondary (AOR = 0.30, CI: 0.10–0.88) and fathers having primary education (AOR = 3.50, CI: 1.26–9.74), school going children (AOR = 0.16, CI: 0.06–0.41), no having own land (AOR = 4.73, CI: 2.13–10.48), history of child chronic disease (AOR = 3.55, CI = 1.38–9.12) were significantly associated with wasting. Similarly, male children (AOR = 1.70, CI: 1.01–2.85), living in rural area (AOR = 0.17, CI: 0.09–0.31), joint/extended family (AOR = 0.28, CI: 0.13–0.64), living with other than parents (AOR = 3.71, CI: 1.84–7.49), fathers having secondary education (AOR = 0.50, CI: 0.27–0.94) and no having own land (AOR = 1.95, CI: 1.13–3.37) were significantly associated with stunting.ConclusionsUnderweight, wasting and stunting in under-five Muslim children were above the cutoff point from the significant level of public health and higher than national data. Hence, this study suggests collaborative and immediate attention from responsible governmental and non-governmental organizations working in nutrition for providing informal learning opportunity, intervention regarding parental support to child, school enrolment at appropriate age, prevention and treatment of children’s chronic diseases, intervention for income generating activities and addressing problems of household food insecurity among Muslim communities.

Authors: Guha Rehan 
Published: January 2023

Initial choice of Learning Rate is a key part of gradient based methods and has a great effect on the performance of the Deep Learning Model.
This paper studies the behavior of multiple gradient based optimization algorithm which are commonly used in Deep Learning and compare their performance on various learning rate. As observed popular choice of optimization algorithms are highly sensitive to various choice of learning rates.
Our goal is to find which optimizer has an edge over others for a specific setting. We look at two datasets namely MNIST and CIFAR10 for benchmarking. The results are quite surprising, and it will help us to choose a learning rate more efficiently.

Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this study was to evaluate Dysphagia Days as a measure of symptom improvement in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis from the HEROES study.

METHODS:
Dysphagia Days, defined as a yes answer to the following question: During any meal today, did food go down slowly or get stuck in your throat or chest? was assessed for cendakimab vs placebo.

RESULTS:
A statistically significant reduction in the mean number of Dysphagia Days experienced was observed with cendakimab 360 mg vs placebo at week 16 (−4.67 vs −1.83; P = 0.0115); an even greater improvement was observed in steroid-refractory patients vs placebo (−4.48 vs −0.04; P = 0.0079).

DISCUSSION:
Dysphagia Days represents a relevant clinical end point to capture dysphagia-related symptoms.
Laughing to love science: contextualizing science comedy
Authors: Bankes Edward Thomas 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Over the last fifteen years, there has been growing interest in the use of comedy within science communication. This paper seeks to contextualize the emergence of science comedy, analyzing the construction of comedy within academic literature as a means for bolstering the cultural authority of science. Drawing specifically from Mikhail Bakhtin’s work on power and language, academic constructions of science comedy might be read as an orchestrated moment of carnival, with humor imagined as a means for engineering public support for science, on the premise that science communicators alone should determine what version of science the public receive. However, results from a pilot study interviewing London-based science comedians suggests that such ambitions are not shared by performers. Performers framed the value of science comedy lying predominantly in the opportunity to challenge other science communicators’ own attitudes to science. Framing scientists and science communicators as science comedy’s most relevant audience, rather than the public, performers envisaged comedy as a space in which the unspoken assumptions of science could be exposed and negotiated.

Abstract
Tunable semiconductor lasers have many important applications such as wavelength division multiplexing, light detection and ranging, and gas detection. The increased interest in silicon photonics has led to the rapid development of miniaturized on-chip tunable semiconductor lasers. However, silicon has poor light-emitting properties. Therefore, realizing high-performance tunable semiconductor lasers requires the integration of light sources with silicon. In this study, we review silicon-based light source integration methods and the development of silicon-based integrated tunable semiconductor lasers. Considering that narrow-linewidth performance greatly expands the applications of tunable semiconductor lasers, methods for reducing the linewidth of tunable lasers are summarized. Finally, the development trends and prospects for silicon-based integrated light sources and silicon-based integrated tunable lasers are analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
The most important and core technology of the Internet of things (IoT) is still the internet, and it also includes many other technical fields and is applied to many fields. The various processes of IoT data are the guarantee that the IoT can meet the management and management requirements in a certain application field, so that each application field can better meet the requirements of people’s lives. In order to study the nonlinear analysis and processing of software development data under the IoT monitoring system, this work uses QT software and socket programming to build the detection, control, and transmission module of the system, and uses multiple processes to classify and process the data. The user interface technology is used to display the data in real time. The system can control the type of transmitted data through interface operation. The classified transmission of data is realized, and the transmission speed is guaranteed to be about 50 MB/s. The experimental results show that after the functional design of each module is completed, the whole system is finally tested to determine whether the system can meet the requirements of data transmission, control, and processing. Since these data are simulated data, video playback is used to simulate the occurrence of a real accident. When an abnormal situation occurs, the whole system starts to work. If an accident occurs, a signal is sent after the accident. The system not only ensures the intellectualization of control, but also ensures the rapidity of data transmission.

Abstract
Parrino, RL, Strand, KL, San Ly, A, Barry, SS, Liscano, JA, Trebotich, L, Martin-Diala, C, Martin, E, and Signorile, JF. Prediction of upper-body power during the seated medicine ball throw in older women. J Strength Cond Res 37(8): 1679–1686, 2023—Upper-body power, the product of muscular strength and movement velocity, is a core measure used by clinicians and researchers alike, to assess functional independence in older persons. Nevertheless, the evaluation of upper-body power is often impractical due to prohibitive cost, as well as space, equipment, and technical demands. Therefore, this study was designed to establish a predictive equation for upper-body peak power (PPUB) using the seated medicine ball throw (SMBT). Thirty-five older women (75.2

6.4y) completed the SMBT and pneumatic resistance chest press peak power (CPPP) testing. A stepwise multiple regression was used to produce a predictive model using CPPP to assess PPUB. The model included SMBT distance (SMBTD) and medicine ball mass (MBMass) as significant predictors (PPUB[W] = 96.719·SMBTD [m] + 37.164·MBMass [kg]–104.499; r = 0.752; SEE = 41.41 W; p < 0.001). The performance of this model was confirmed through a cross-validation analysis using 70% (n = 23; r = 0.709; p < 0.001) and 30% (n = 12; r = 0.823; p < 0.001) of the sample. Reliability was confirmed using intraclass correlation, coefficient of variation, standard error of measurement, and Bland-Altman analyses for both MBMass. This model provides an easily accessible and reliable tool, using SMBTD and MBMass, for predicting PPUB in older women as a marker of quality of life, functional independence, and ability to complete activities of daily living.
Nieinterwencjonistyczny model działania Boga w świecie przyrody
Authors: Pabjan Tadeusz 
Published: January 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest problematyce działania Boga w świecie przyrody. Zaprezentowano w nim argumenty przemawiające za modelem nieinterwencjonistycznym, w którym zakłada się, że Bóg konsekwentnie respektuje porządek przyczyn i skutków wynikający z praw przyrody, i zamierzone przez siebie efekty uzyskuje bez naruszania tego porządku. Historia ewoluującego wszechświata, którą badają nauki empiryczne, jest w perspektywie teologicznej historią działania Boga, który stwarza świat i podtrzymuje go w istnieniu za pośrednictwem praw przyrody powodujących stopniowy rozwój wszechświata i ewolucję życia. W kolejnych częściach artykułu podjęta została problematyka praw przyrody, stwórczej obecności Boga w przyrodzie oraz działania Stwórcy dokonującego się za pośrednictwem przyczyn wtórnych (argument św. Tomasza). W zakończeniu wskazano na zalety modelu nieinterwencjonistycznego.

Background. Differential diagnosis of attenuated forms of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can be challenging due to their similarities.Objective. The aim of the study is to create simple diagnostic criteria (DScore) that would allow to differentiate MPS from JIA for earlier MPS diagnosis.Methods. The retrospective multicenter study included analysis of clinical (joint, heart, eye involvement, hearing loss, hernias, psychomotor delay, noisy breathing, posture disorders, macrocephaly, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and growth delay) and laboratory data (ESR, CRP, hemoglobin, WBC, and platelets) from MPS patients (n = 41) and from rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular category of JIA patients (n = 255). These variables allowed to differentiate both conditions and were used to create DScore.Results. Patients with MPS had younger onset age, male predominance, height and weight delay, lower inflammation markers (WBC, platelets, and ESR), and usually involved joints, especially cervical spine, upper limbs joints, hip, and small foot joints. The prevalence of eye involvement was similar for both diseases, however, the type of involvement was different. JIA patients had uveitis and its’ complications and MPS patients — corneal opacity and cataract. No differences in CRP levels were revealed in most cases. The major diagnostic criterion of MPS was the presence of more than one extra-articular manifestation associated with polyarticular involvement. DScore has included 5 following criteria: ESR ≤ 11 mm/h (38 points), height ≤ -2.0 SD (20 points), onset age of articular manifestations ≤ 1.1 year (24 points), male gender (15 points), and symmetrical limitation of movements in elbow joints (29 points). The sum > 38 points allowed us to differentiate MPS and JIA with sensitivity of 92.7% and specificity of 91.0%.Conclusion. This DScore can be used for differential diagnosis of mild MPS and JIA alongside with routine diagnostic procedures. DScore allows us to identify a group of patients with joint involvement who require MPS exclusion.

Published: January 2023

Background: Intra-articular fractures of the base of middle phalanx are difficult to manage. With many known methods of treatment available, the authors present their experience of managing these injuries by Suzuki’s pin and rubber traction method.
Methods: A prospective study of five years duration which included 23 patients. All the patients were managed with Suzuki’s pin and rubber traction system. The primary outcome variable was ROM at the PIP joint. The secondary outcome variable was the complication profile.
Results: The mean ROM at the PIP joint at the final follow-up was 80±12.2 (range: 50-100) degrees. The mean flexion at PIP joint at the final follow-up was 82.72±10.5 degrees and the mean extension at PIP joint was -2.7±4.5 degrees. No case of non-union was observed in the present study. Pin tract infection occurred in 17.39% of cases and was the commonest complication observed. Two patients needed realignment of K-wires for pin displacement. One patient developed osteomyelitis of middle phalanx at three weeks and needed early removal of hardware. The same patient also developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) at two months. One patient developed painful arthritis of PIP joint.
Conclusions: Suzuki’s pin and rubber traction method is an effective modality of treatment for intra-articular fractures of the base of proximal phalanx of fingers of hand. Although, not free of complications the final results in most patients are good. However, the authors recommend large randomized control trials to be held for these injuries to compare carious modalities of treatment.

Background: Thalassemia is an inheritance disease with anemia and hemolysis. Blood transfusion is a routine treatment for thalassemia patients; alloimmunization is one of the complications of blood transfusion, which is very serious for these patients, especially girls and young women.
Materials and Methods: In this cross, sectional study 446 thalassemia patients were examined. Demographic information of patients was extracted and recorded. The phenotype of ABO, Rh and Kell antigens (tube method) with antisera from IMMUNDIANOSTICA Company (Germany) and frequency of alloantibodies was determined.
Results: 55.8% of studied individuals were male and 44.2% were female. Mean age of studied patients was 19.94±10.63. The alloantibodies were detected in 7.5% of pack cell receivers. The most prevalent phenotype of ABO system was O blood group (37.4%), and the most abundant antigen of Rh group was ‘e’, which was found in 99.8% of studied population. The most frequent detected alloantibody was Anti K (38.2%); concerning kell phenotype, (K_k+) and (K+k+) were found in 99.3% and 0.7% of patients, respectively. The frequency of Anti-D, Anti-C, Anti-c and Anti-E was 23.5%, 14.7%, 2.9% and 14.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: According to the results of this paper, finding the compatible pack cells in terms of Kell and Rh systems antigens in addition to ABO blood group is recommended to decrease the rate of alloantibodies in thalassemia patients.

Published: January 2023

Este trabalho apresenta algumas ideias conceituais para fazer apontamentos que visam auxiliar nos estudos de seus desdobramentos no tempo e no espaço diante de questões contra-hegemônicas que se colocam capazes de contribuir para pensar caminhos de transição justas dos sistemas alimentares e a promoção do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e Saudável. O objetivo é fazer uma reflexão de elementos teóricos que corroboram a ação pública, evidenciando as dimensões da desigualdade, iniquidades e ideais de justiça que fundamentam pensar na ordem dos enquadramentos nos processos de transição, em várias dimensões de determinantes sistêmicos. A análise teórica recorre a uma leitura da justiça alimentar, por uma perspectiva multiescalar e relacional, ao considerar que os critérios de justiça social e de direitos vêm sendo incorporados nas proposições de transformações nos sistemas alimentares atuais. Os resultados apresentam que o conceito de justiça alimentar, como vem sendo construído, avança ao considerar os entrelaçamentos sistêmicos que promovem desigualdades e iniquidades por incorporar questões para além dos alimentos no socio-espaço.
Application of Hybridized ANN-GARCH, ANN-SETAR, MARS-SPSO and CANFIS-SPSO Meta-Models for Improving Accuracy of Monthly Streamflow Prediction

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Among the components of the hydrological cycle, stream flow has a major role in integrated water resources management. Establishing an accurate and reliable forecasting method for prediction of stream flow is very useful. Nowadays, data-driven methods are variously applied for river flow prediction. By hybridizing, one can take advantage of the cons of different methods for the proposed purpose. In the present research, we have combined SETAR and GARCH methods with ANN and also coupled MARS and CANFIS with SPSO to predict the monthly flow of the Maroon River in south west of Iran. Thus, four hybridized data-driven models of ANN-GARCH, ANN-SETAR, MARS-SPSO and CANFIS-SPSO are developed and compared to see which method has the best performance. Although all the models yielded good results but it was seen that the ANN-SETAR model found more accurate answers in prediction of the stream flow with an average 5% higher accuracy in the results. The IQR of ANN-SETAR model is similar to observed value that this showed the efficiency of the ANN-SETAR for dependable simulation of extreme values of river flow compared to other models. So, it was concluded that the ANN-SETAR model is better than the other methods for forecasting the monthly streamflow.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man presented with fatigue and fever. He was in excellent health status, with no comorbidity, working as a gamekeeper. Blood count revealed 80 G/L leukocytes, 84% blasts, hemoglobin 10.5 g/dL and platelets 27 G/L. He was hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) because of oxygen requirement and acute renal failure due to tumor lysis syndrome. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML-5b) with complexe karyotype was diagnosed on bone marrow examination. After initial cytoreduction with Hydroxyurea and Dexamethasone, intensive chemotherapy (Idarubicine and Cytarabine) was initiated in the ICU under close monitoring. Extra-renal epuration was required for tumor lysis syndrome.
