Published: March 2023

AbstractWe present the Empathy for Pain Stimuli System (EPSS): a large-scale database of stimuli for studying people’s empathy for pain. The EPSS comprises five sub-databases. First, the Empathy for Limb Pain Picture Database (EPSS-Limb) provides 68 painful and 68 non-painful limb pictures, exhibiting people’s limbs in painful and non-painful situations, respectively. Second, the Empathy for Face Pain Picture Database (EPSS-Face) provides 80 painful and 80 non-painful pictures of people’s faces being penetrated by a syringe or touched by a Q-tip. Third, the Empathy for Voice Pain Database (EPSS-Voice) provides 30 painful and 30 non-painful voices exhibiting either short vocal cries of pain or neutral interjections. Fourth, the Empathy for Action Pain Video Database (EPSS-Action_Video) provides 239 painful and 239 non-painful videos of whole-body actions. Finally, the Empathy for Action Pain Picture Database (EPSS-Action_Picture) provides 239 painful and 239 non-painful pictures of whole-body actions. To validate the stimuli in the EPSS, participants evaluated the stimuli using four different scales, rating pain intensity, affective valence, arousal, and dominance. The EPSS is available to download for free at https://osf.io/muyah/?view_only=33ecf6c574cc4e2bbbaee775b299c6c1.

Abstract
We present multiwavelength time-series spectroscopy of SN 2013aa and SN 2017cbv, two Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) on the outskirts of the same host galaxy, NGC 5643. This work utilizes new nebular-phase near-infrared (NIR) spectra obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project-II, in addition to previously published optical and NIR spectra. Using nebular-phase [Fe ii] lines in the optical and NIR, we examine the explosion kinematics and test the efficacy of several common emission-line-fitting techniques. The NIR [Fe ii] 1.644 μm line provides the most robust velocity measurements against variations due to the choice of the fit method and line blending. The resulting effects on velocity measurements due to choosing different fit methods, initial fit parameters, continuum and line profile functions, and fit region boundaries were also investigated. The NIR [Fe ii] velocities yield the same radial shift direction as velocities measured using the optical [Fe ii] λ7155 line, but the sizes of the shifts are consistently and substantially lower, pointing to a potential issue in optical studies. The NIR [Fe ii] 1.644 μm emission profile shows a lack of significant asymmetry in both SNe, and the observed low velocities elevate the importance for correcting for any velocity contribution from the host galaxy’s rotation. The low [Fe ii] velocities measured in the NIR at nebular phases disfavor progenitor scenarios in close double-degenerate systems for both SN 2013aa and SN 2017cbv. The time evolution of the NIR [Fe ii] 1.644 μm line also indicates moderately high progenitor white dwarf central density and potentially high magnetic fields.

Abstract
We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of the solar corona. We argue that the physical mechanism that heats and drives the solar wind at its source is ubiquitous magnetic reconnection in the form of small-scale jetting activity (a.k.a. jetlets). This jetting activity, like the solar wind and the heating of the coronal plasma, is ubiquitous regardless of the solar cycle phase. Each event arises from small-scale reconnection of opposite-polarity magnetic fields producing a short-lived jet of hot plasma and Alfvén waves into the corona. The discrete nature of these jetlet events leads to intermittent outflows from the corona, which homogenize as they propagate away from the Sun and form the solar wind. This discovery establishes the importance of small-scale magnetic reconnection in solar and stellar atmospheres in understanding ubiquitous phenomena such as coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Based on previous analyses linking the switchbacks to the magnetic network, we also argue that these new observations might provide the link between the magnetic activity at the base of the corona and the switchback solar wind phenomenon. These new observations need to be put in the bigger picture of the role of magnetic reconnection and the diverse form of jetting in the solar atmosphere.
A Bayesian Analysis of Technological Intelligence in Land and Oceans
Authors: Lingam Manasvi , Balbi Amedeo , Mahajan Swadesh M. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Current research indicates that (sub)surface ocean worlds essentially devoid of subaerial landmasses (e.g., continents) are common in the Milky Way and that these worlds could host habitable conditions, thence raising the possibility that life and technological intelligence (TI) may arise in such aquatic settings. It is known, however, that TI on Earth (i.e., humans) arose on land. Motivated by these considerations, we present a Bayesian framework to assess the prospects for the emergence of TIs in land- and ocean-based habitats (LBHs and OBHs). If all factors are equally conducive for TIs to arise in LBHs and OBHs, we demonstrate that the evolution of TIs in LBHs (which includes humans) might have very low odds of roughly 1 in 103 to 1 in 104, thus outwardly contradicting the Copernican principle. Hence, we elucidate three avenues whereby the Copernican principle can be preserved: (i) the emergence rate of TIs is much lower in OBHs, (ii) the habitability interval for TIs is much shorter in OBHs, and (iii) only a small fraction of worlds with OBHs comprise appropriate conditions for effectuating TIs. We also briefly discuss methods for empirically falsifying our predictions and comment on the feasibility of supporting TIs in aerial environments.
Advanced γ-Ray Emission Studies of G15.4+0.1 with Fermi-LAT: Evidence of Escaping Cosmic Rays Interacting with Surrounding Molecular Clouds

Published: March 2023

Abstract
We present an analysis of γ-ray emission in the direction of supernova remnant (SNR) G15.4+0.1 with 13 yr Fermi Large Area Telescope data. There are three point-like GeV sources in this region: one is spatially coincident with the TeV source HESS J1818-154 and is interpreted as the counterpart of HESS J1818-154. Its γ-ray spectrum can be well fitted by a single power law with an index of 2.3. The other two sources with log-parabola spectra are spatially coincident with dense regions of surrounding molecular clouds revealed by CO observations. Their γ-ray emission originates from hadronic π
0 decay due to inelastic collisions between nuclei in the clouds and cosmic rays accelerated in and escaping from SNR G15.4+0.1. The total energy of the escaping protons is about 1048 erg, assuming a point-like instantaneous injection. However, the inferred diffusion coefficients are lower than the typical Galactic value.

Published: March 2023

Riche en ressources naturelles, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) figure parmi les cinq pays les plus pauvres au monde. La gestion prédatrice par l’élite et les multinationales est la cause principale de ce paradoxe. L’efficacité du « devoir de vigilance » est mise à rude épreuve face à la faiblesse de l’État congolais et à l’asymétrie entre l’engouement pour cette initiative au Nord et le désintérêt au Sud.

Published: March 2023

Introduction
Bronchial asthma strongly affects the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children in many aspects including physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. Child self-reports of QOL are valid for measuring HRQOL, but the parent proxy reports also provide additional important information.

Aim
To assess the agreement between the child self-reports of HRQOL and the parent proxy reports among the children and adolescents with well-controlled bronchial asthma.

Patients and methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 asthmatic patients aged between 8 and 18 years and their parents who were being followed up in the allergy outpatient clinic in the Department of Pediatrics, Cairo University. HRQOL was assessed by the PedsQL 3.0 asthma module.

Results
The mean±SD age of the patients was 10.08±1.70 years. Distribution of agreement between patients and parents showed that 40 (53.3%) cases showed agreement in different domains. Agreement between child and parent-by-proxy was 54.3% in the asthma domain, 45.3% in the treatment domain, 34.7% in the worry domain, and 17.3% in the communication domain. A statistically significant correlation was found between QOL in child and parent in all domains; the correlation was strong in the asthma and worry domains and weak in the treatment and the communication domains, where in the asthma domain, confidence interval (CI) was 0.803 (0.690–0.875), with a P value of 0.000; in the treatment domain, CI was 0.305 (0.080–0.499), with a P value of 0.009; in the worry domain, CI was 0.539 (0.357–0.682), with a P value 0.000; and finally, in the communication domain, the CI was 0.374 (0.163–0.552), with a P value of 0.000.

Conclusion
There was a lack of convergence between the child self-report and the parent’s report of the PedsQL 3.0 asthma module. Asthmatic children’s self-reports were more accurate than parent proxy reports for the assessment of HRQOL. Parent proxy reports should be spared to very young children or children who lack the logical or analytical ability needed for answering the questionnaire.
Giant Cell Fibroma in an Elderly Woman: A Report of a Rare, Late and Unusually Large Presentation
Authors: Oluwakuyide Remilekun T. , Castano Babalola O. , Akinshipo Abdulwarith O. , Ayodele Adeshina O. 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundGiant cell fibroma (GCF) is a rare benign oral fibrous lesion which is predominantly found in the mandible of Caucasians but rarely in the maxilla and black population above the third decade of life.
Objective: To draw the attention of clinicians to a rare, late and unusually large presentation of Giant Cell Fibroma
Case report: The index case was a 68-year-old fisherwoman with a ten-year-old slow-growing painless swelling occupying the left anterior maxilla. The lesion crossed the midline to the right causing incompetent lips and teeth displacement leading to aesthetics and functional problems. Upon clinical examination, a provisional diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma was made. Radiological essentially revealed a soft tissue mass, histopathological evaluations confirmed the diagnosis of GCF and the patient was prepared for surgical excision. A surgical excision of the soft tissue mass and peripheral ostectomy was performed.
Conclusion: GCF has distinct histopathologic features occurring in any age, race, site and decades of life; growing very large causing aesthetics and functional problems. Immunohistochemistry if available is an additional resource to unequivocally establish the diagnosis.
The effects of handball and waterpolo training on blood nitric oxide and oxidative stress levels
Authors: Shafiei Nadia , Turgay Faruk , Denerel Nevzad 
Published: March 2023

Objective: Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that has vasodilatory, antioxidant and metabolic regulatory properties. Both NO and oxidative stress (OS) are risk factors for atherosclerosis (AS). These properties of NO, therefore play a critical role in training adaptations. Handball and water polo are team sports requiring aerobic and anaerobic energy. However, since they are practised in different environments, their effects on blood NO and OS levels may be different. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of these two team sports on blood NO and OS levels.
Material and Methods: Male handball players (HG, n=14), water polo players (WPG, n=12) and a control group (CG, n=13) of sedentary players participated in this study. Physical and physiological measurements, including critical velocity of the participants were made. The participants' fasting serum NO and OS indicators, and total antioxidant/oxidant status (TAS/TOS) were determined.
Results: TAS levels of HG and WPG were significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.05, p<0.01), whereas their NO levels were higher than those of CG (19.5% and 25.7% respectively, p>0.05). No significant difference was present for NO between HG and WPG. A significant negative correlation was present between CV and serum NO level, and there was a positive correlation between maximal 1500 m running time and NO for handball players.
Conclusions: The findings of the study reveal that although training caused a significant decrease in antioxidant capacity in two team sports athletes, serum NO levels improved, thereby contributing to cardiovascular health. NO may harm aerobic endurance performance, but it had a beneficial effect on anaerobic power in the handball group, and none for water polo players.

Authors: Dinesh Kumar, Rajni, Rahul Saini, Suman Rani, Raman Kumari  
Published: March 2023

Topical drug delivery system improved bioavailability, reduced side effects, more uniform plasma levels, longer duration of action, resulting in a reduction in dosing frequency and improve therapy due to plasma levels up to the end of the dosing interval compared to a decline in plasma levels with conventional oral dosage form. Emulgel are generally used where the other systems of drug administration fails to directly treat cutaneous disorders such as fungal infections, acne, psoriasis etc.
Materials and methods: Fluconazole emulgel was optimized based on Design-Expert® software using central composite design (CCD) making Fourteen formulations using jojoba oil and liquid paraffin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben and Triethanolamine.
Results and Discussions: - The spreadability test range find from 8.9 g.cm/min to 14.87 g.cm/min for the formulations F1 and F14, respectively. Formulations having low amount of jojoba oil and liquid paraffin had the high spreadability index. As the viscosity of the gel increased, the release of the drug was expected to be slower. Complete drug release (100%) was achieved at the 3rd hr for the formulations F1, F8, F7 and F14 released more than 80 % of the drug and in vitro results showed that an emulgel formulation can be a potential candidate for the delivery of fluconazole for the skin disease, with better in vitro physical, using jojoba oil and liquid paraffin as drug carriers. SEM analysis of emulgel shows the uniform structure of emulgel formulation.
Heterogeneous Ensemble Approaches for Robust Face Mask Detection in Crowd Scenes
Authors: Hu Xufeng , Jeon Younghoon , Gwak Jeonghwan 
Published: March 2023

Face masks are one of the effective tools to slow the spread of disease and reduce medical overload by protecting people from infectious diseases including COVID-19. To prevent infection from respiratory droplets, it is imperative to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth completely. However, it is difficult to make it mandatory for crowds to wear masks in public places where many people gather. For example, detecting incorrect mask-wearing in crowded scenes is a tedious and attention-grabbing task. Therefore, the success of deep learning in computer vision motivates automated monitoring systems. However, deep learning-based detection models are unstable if the domain task is changed and may have different strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, in this study, we propose a heterogeneous ensemble-based detection model for robust face mask detection in crowd scenes. First, independent detection models such as You look Only Ones (YOLO) v6, YOLO v7, and Faster R-CNN are employed for the model ensemble. Second, the prediction results obtained from the detection models are post-processed such as merging, non-maximum suppression, and weighted box fusion. The experimental results show that the classification performance of our proposed model has an F1 score of about 90.5% and that the improvement of the generalization ability due to the ensemble strategy contributed to the improvement of the classification performance.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore screening practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Mexico and the United States (U.S.).
Methods: Data from a larger study exploring the knowledge, screening, and diagnostic practices of healthcare practitioners from Mexico and the U.S. was used for the current study. The original survey was created by experts in ASD and consisted of 63 questions: 15 demographic questions, 20 questions relating to knowledge of ASD, 11 questions relating to screening practices, and 17 questions relating to diagnostic practices. All surveys were completed by professionals engaging in the screening and diagnosis of ASD. For this study, a total of thirty- five survey responses for the screening portion of the survey (30 from the U.S. and 5 from Mexico) were explored. Qualitative data and descriptive statistics were utilized.
Results: Many of the responses relating to screening practices from professionals practicing in Mexico and the U.S. were consistent with best practice guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Mexican Public Health Guide. Furthermore, many similarities were found in the screening practices of professionals from both countries. Differences in screening practices reported by professionals from Mexico and the U.S. were found in the type of professional involved in the screening process and professional referrals after a failed ASD screening. Additionally, some professionals from both the U.S. and Mexico reported the use of inappropriate screening tools, and the average age reportedly screened was much higher than the current recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Hyman et al., 2020).
Conclusion: An understanding of the screening practices currently being used in Mexico and the U.S. provides both researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of what is being implemented by different professionals. This study identified areas of strength and areas of weaknesses in the screening process for ASD in both countries. These results can now be used in future studies and programs targeting improved screening processes in Mexico in the U.S. Improved screening processes are important because of the potential to result in an earlier age of diagnosis of ASD and provision of services at a younger age. The latter of which is associated with better outcomes for children with ASD.
