A dynamic multi-attribute group decision-making method with R-numbers based on MEREC and CoCoSo method
Authors: Cheng Rui , Fan Jianping , Wu Meiqin 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDynamic multi-attribute group decision-making (DMAGDM) is a widespread practice in which evaluations are provided by multiple decision-makers at various times and early evaluations impact later evaluations. Additionally, attributes and alternatives can be added or removed over time. An R-numbers DMAGDM method is developed based on the advantages of R-numbers in capturing risks. This paper introduces the R-numbers Einstein weighted averaging (RNEWA) operator and R-numbers weighted Einstein geometric (RNEWG) operator, which are distinct from conventional algebraic operations, and examines their properties. Moreover, an expert weight determination model is constructed using the similarity measure of R-numbers. The attribute weight determination model in the R-numbers environment is also proposed with the method based on the criteria removal effects method (MEREC). A static rating calculation model, which utilizes the combination compromise solution (CoCoSo) method in the R-numbers environment, is built using the RNEWA operator and RNEWG operator. Furthermore, a new dynamic rating calculation model is proposed which does not require storage of all decision information over time. Finally, the applicability and effectiveness of the R-numbers DMAGDM method is demonstrated through a case study on supply chain risk assessment of manufacturing enterprises.

AbstractNowadays, image–text matching (retrieval) has frequently attracted attention due to the growth of multimodal data. This task returns the relevant images to a textual query or descriptions that describe a visual scene and vice versa. The core challenge is how to precisely determine the similarity computation between the text and image, which requires understanding the different modalities by extracting the related information accurately. Although many approaches are established for matching textual data and visual content utilizing deep learning (DL) approaches, a few reviews of the studies of image–text matching are obtainable using DL. In this review study, we contribute to present and clarify the modern techniques based on DL in the image–text matching problem by providing an extensive study of the existing matching models, different current architectures, benchmark datasets, and evaluation methods. First, we explain the matching task and illustrate frequently used architecture. Second, we classify present approaches according to two important concepts the alignment between image and text, and the learning approach. Third, we report standard datasets and evaluation techniques. Finally, we show up current challenges to serve as an inspiration to new researchers in this field.
Artificial intelligence control of a low-drag Ahmed body using distributed jet arrays
Authors: Zhang B.F. , Fan D.W. , Zhou Y. 
Published: May 2023

This work proposes a machine-learning or artificial intelligence (AI) control of a low-drag Ahmed body with a rear slant angleφ = 35° with a view to finding strategies for efficient drag reduction (DR). The Reynolds numberReinvestigated is 1.7 × 105based on the square root of the body cross-sectional area. The control system comprises of five independently operated arrays of steady microjets blowing along the edges of the rear window and vertical base, twenty-six pressure taps on the rear end of the body and a controller based on an ant colony algorithm for unsupervised learning of a near-optimal control law. The cost function is designed such that bothDRand control power input are considered. The learning process of the AI control discovers forcing that produces aDRup to 18 %, corresponding to a drag coefficient reduction of 0.06, greatly exceeding any previously reportedDRfor this body. Furthermore, the discovered forcings may provide alternative solutions, i.e. a tremendously increased control efficiency given a small sacrifice inDR. Extensive flow measurements performed with and without control indicate significant alterations in the flow structure around the body, such as flow separation over the rear window, recirculation bubbles and C-pillar vortices, which are linked to the pressure rise on the window and base. The physical mechanism forDRis unveiled, along with a conceptual model for the altered flow structure under the optimum control or biggestDR. This mechanism is further compared with that under the highest control efficiency.

AbstractThe concentration of suspended particulate organic carbon (POC) and its carbon isotopic composition (δ13CPOC) were analysed in this study with the aim of exploring the sources and factors influencing levels of POC in the surface water around the Antarctic Peninsula. The scanning electron microscopy results suggest that diatom particles formed the main component of suspended particulate matter, indicating that POC was mainly from in situ primary production. The high concentrations of chlorophyll a and POC in sea water mainly occurred in nearshore and sea-ice edge regions, which might be controlled by nutrient and reactive iron inputs stemming from sea-ice melting. The δ13CPOC in the study area is significantly lower than that in low-latitude waters, with a range of -31.8‰ to -22.8‰ (mean -28.9‰), which was controlled by the high CO2 concentration in the Southern Ocean and might be influenced by phytoplankton growth rates and assemblages. This study helps us to understand material cycling in the Antarctic region under the conditions of global climate change.
Fingolimod-related atrioventricular block in paediatric age group with multiple sclerosis: two case reports
Authors: Kum Yunus E. , Pamukçu Özge , Canpolat Mehmet 
Published: May 2023

AbstractMultiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, usually seen in young adults. Early onset of multiple sclerosis at age younger than 18 years is called paediatric multiple sclerosis. Unlike adult multiple sclerosis, paediatric multiple sclerosis causes morbidity at earlier ages and often progresses in a relapsing–remitting form. Although fingolimod is an effective drug used as a disease-modifiying therapy agent in relapsing–remitting paediatric multiple sclerosis patients, it can cause dysryhthmia in the early period after first dose. Our first case is a 14-year-old girl with relapsing–remitting paediatric multiple sclerosis patients who was started to take fingolimod treatment. In the fifth hour of the follow-up, asymptomatic bradycardia was seen and the electrocardiogram was consistent with first-degree atrioventricular block. Her rhythm got spontaneously normal after 12 hours. Second case was 13 years old girl. Steroid treatment was started after her first paediatric multiple sclerosis attack. Despite treatment, she had a second attack 2 weeks after the first attack. Therefore, the neurologist switched to fingolimod therapy. Second-degree atrioventriculer block developed after 4 hours from the initiation of therapy. After 8 hours, rhythm regressed to first-degree atrioventricular block then returned to normal up to 13th hours of follow up. The aim of this article is to draw attention to dysrhythmia side effect of fingolimod which can be fatal. Therefore, the clinician must take precautions. Close cardiac rhythm monitoring is mandatory after the initiation fingolimod theraphy.

AbstractAim:To explore the association between the implementation of a new model of supervision and the impact of undergraduate nursing students’ interest in working in primary health care.Background:There is a need for more nurses in primary health care. To influence undergraduate nursing students to work in primary health care after graduation, the experience of their clinical practice in primary health care must be rewarding. In this study, we have implemented an alternative model of supervision for undergraduate nursing students in clinical practice, called ‘strengthened supervision during clinical practice’. In this model, lectures from the university are responsible for giving support and tutoring the nurse supervisor in primary health care.Method:Undergraduate nursing students in Norway (69) participated in an implementation of a new model for supervision in clinical practice. Thirty-one completed a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions. The questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive analyses.Finding:Undergraduate nursing students positively evaluated interactions with their fellow undergraduate nursing students in the primary health care setting. The undergraduate nursing students reported the nurse supervisor as most important for their perception of the practice site, followed by the work environment and their peers. When asked where they planned to work after graduation, very few undergraduate nursing students selected primary health care. It seems like aspects of the new model, ‘strengthened supervision during clinical practice’ are successful, but further research must be undertaken to explore whether this new model continues to be successful.

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of breast reconstruction time (immediate/at a later time) on women’s quality of life, self-esteem, feelings of guilt, and shame. In addition, the study aimed to investigate the association between time till reconstruction in women with later reconstruction on these parameters.MethodsData collection for the study was conducted from a sample of 150 women with breast cancer who had undergone reconstruction. Breast-Q, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and State Shame and Guilt Scale questionnaires were used to study the above variables.ResultsImmediate reconstruction was associated with higher psychosocial and sexual well-being scores (p = 0.014 and 0.016, respectively). No other quality of life parameters, neither self-esteem, nor feelings of guilt, shame, and pride, were associated with having a mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time or not. Furthermore, for women who did not have immediate reconstruction, the time elapsed until reconstruction was not associated with quality of life, self-esteem, feelings of guilt, shame, and pride.Significance of resultsThis study highlights the importance of simultaneous mastectomy and breast reconstruction, as it is associated with higher psychosocial and sexual quality of life. Therefore, simultaneous breast reconstruction is imperative to be provided by health systems.

Published: May 2023

AbstractWe conducted a receiver function (RF) analysis to understand the convergence process in and around the Izu collision zone. We calculated the P‐ and S‐wave RFs and converted them to depth using a three‐dimensional (3D) regional tomography model and regionally estimated near‐surface structure. We detected the Moho of the Philippine Sea Plate and determined its 3D geometry in and around the collision zone. In addition, we considered the 3D seismic velocity model, which was previously determined using seismic tomography, and we complemented a part of the Moho that we did not detect using the RFs. Based on the geometry of the upper surface of the Philippine Sea Plate determined in previous studies, the crust is >35 km thick beneath the Izu Peninsula and collision zone and becomes thinner (<20 km) moving east of the collision zone. Thus, the thick crust along the Izu‐Bonin arc collides, and the thin forearc crust subducts. A stable slip surface was previously assumed to exist at a 15–20 km depth beneath the Izu Peninsula and the collision zone. This study indicates that the surface should exist within the crust of the Philippine Sea Plate.
Zircon and Apatite U‐Pb Constraints on the Tectonic Affinity and Metamorphic History of the Blueschist‐Facies Ambelakia Unit, Mt. Ossa, Greece

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn the Aegean region, the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) and the Ambelakia unit (Mt. Ossa, Thessaly, Greece) represent early Cenozoic subduction‐related HP‐LT metamorphic complexes exhumed in the back‐arc of the Hellenic subduction zone. The Ambelakia unit has been linked to the classic CBU in the Cyclades; however, the tectonic affinity, structural position, nature of the protolith, or timing of metamorphism for these rocks in eastern Thessaly remains largely unresolved. This study provides detailed new insights into both the provenance, protolith age, and tectonic affinity of the Pelagonian, Ambelakia, and Olympos‐Ossa tectonic units by integrating U‐Pb detrital zircon (DZ) and detrital apatite (DA) data in a structural context. DZ results suggest the existence of distinct metasedimentary units, spanning in depositional age from Carboniferous to Late Cretaceous, with provenance signatures that support a correlation with the classic CBU and strengthen the argument for a similar pre‐subduction tectonic relationship. Depth‐profiling analysis reveals metamorphic rims that record HP‐LT metamorphism in the Ossa Ambelakia during the Paleocene‐Eocene. Apatite U‐Pb data from the metasedimentary units preserve a detrital signature similar to the DZ signatures, indicating that apatites were not reset (<450 C) nor recrystallized during subduction metamorphism. These new data suggest that the Ambelakia unit is a lateral equivalent of the CBU subduction complex; however, this unit experienced distinctly lower pressure and temperature conditions during metamorphism than the along‐strike classic CBU.

Abstract
Microbial interactions govern marine biogeochemistry. These interactions are generally considered to rely on exchange of organic molecules. Here we report on a novel inorganic route of microbial communication, showing that algal-bacterial interactions between Phaeobacter inhibens bacteria and Gephyrocapsa huxleyi algae are mediated through inorganic nitrogen exchange. Under oxygen-rich conditions, aerobic bacteria reduce algal-secreted nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) through denitrification, a well-studied anaerobic respiratory mechanism. The bacterial NO is involved in triggering a cascade in algae akin to programmed cell death. During death, algae further generate NO, thereby propagating the signal in the algal population. Eventually, the algal population collapses, similar to the sudden demise of oceanic algal blooms. Our study suggests that the exchange of inorganic nitrogen species in oxygenated environments is a potentially significant route of microbial communication within and across kingdoms.

AbstractThere is limited evidence on the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effect of esaxerenone on home BP, including nighttime BP. Using two newly developed nocturnal home BP monitoring devices (brachial and wrist), this multicenter, open-label, prospective study investigated the nighttime home BP-lowering effect of esaxerenone in patients with uncontrolled nocturnal hypertension being treated with an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or calcium-channel blocker (CCB). In total, 101 patients were enrolled. During the 12-week study period, change in nighttime home systolic/diastolic BP from baseline to end of treatment measured by the brachial device was −12.9/−5.4 mmHg in the total population and −16.2/−6.6 and −10.0/−4.4 mmHg in the ARB and CCB subcohorts, respectively (all p < 0.001). For the wrist device, the change was −11.7/−5.4 mmHg in the total population and −14.6/−6.2 and −8.3/−4.5 mmHg in each subcohort, respectively (all p < 0.001). Similar significant reductions were shown for morning and bedtime home BP and office BP. Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and cardio-ankle vascular index improved in the total population and each subcohort. Incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and drug-related TEAEs were 38.6% and 16.8%, respectively; most were mild or moderate. The most frequent drug-related TEAEs were associated with serum potassium elevation (hyperkalemia, 9.9%; blood potassium increased, 3.0%); however, no new safety concerns were raised. Esaxerenone was effective in lowering nighttime home BP as well as morning and bedtime home BP and office BP, safe, and showed organ-protective effects in patients with uncontrolled nocturnal hypertension. Caution is warranted regarding elevated serum potassium levels.

Published: May 2023

AbstractMammography, or breast X-ray imaging, is the most widely used imaging modality to detect cancer and other breast diseases. Recent studies have shown that deep learning-based computer-assisted detection and diagnosis (CADe/x) tools have been developed to support physicians and improve the accuracy of interpreting mammography. A number of large-scale mammography datasets from different populations with various associated annotations and clinical data have been introduced to study the potential of learning-based methods in the field of breast radiology. With the aim to develop more robust and more interpretable support systems in breast imaging, we introduce VinDr-Mammo, a Vietnamese dataset of digital mammography with breast-level assessment and extensive lesion-level annotations, enhancing the diversity of the publicly available mammography data. The dataset consists of 5,000 mammography exams, each of which has four standard views and is double read with disagreement (if any) being resolved by arbitration. The purpose of this dataset is to assess Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) and breast density at the individual breast level. In addition, the dataset also provides the category, location, and BI-RADS assessment of non-benign findings. We make VinDr-Mammo publicly available as a new imaging resource to promote advances in developing CADe/x tools for mammography interpretation.

AbstractThe spotted alfalfa aphid (SAA, Therioaphis trifolii) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a destructive pest of cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) that leads to large financial losses in the livestock industry around the world. Here, we present a chromosome-scale genome assembly of T. trifolii, the first genome assembly for the aphid subfamily Calaphidinae. Using PacBio long-read sequencing, Illumina sequencing, and Hi-C scaffolding techniques, a 541.26 Mb genome was generated, with 90.01% of the assembly anchored into eight scaffolds, and the contig and scaffold N50 are 2.54 Mb and 44.77 Mb, respectively. BUSCO assessment showed a completeness score of 96.6%. A total of 13,684 protein-coding genes were predicted. The high-quality genome assembly of T. trifolii not only provides a genomic resource for the more complete analysis of aphid evolution, but also provides insights into the ecological adaptation and insecticide resistance of T. trifolii.

AbstractThalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive hereditary blood disorders worldwide, especially in developing countries, including Bangladesh. Thus, this study aimed to determine HRQoL and its determinants of thalassemia patients (TP) in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was performed on 356 randomly selected thalassemia patients. Participants were invited to face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages), independent t-test, ANOVA, and multivariate (linear and logistic regression) analysis was performed to analyze the data. Our demographic data showed that among 356 patients, 54% and 46% were male and female, respectively, with an average age of 19.75 (SD = 8.02) years. Most were transfusion-dependent (91%), 26% had comorbidities, and 52% were from low-income families. In the case of HRQoL, male patients showed significantly higher scores of bodily pains and physical health summaries than female patients. Lower income, high blood transfusion status, disease severity, comorbidities, and medical expenses (p < 0.05; CI 95%) are significantly associated with lower SF-36 scores. This study found an association between lower income, blood transfusion, disease severity, comorbidities, as well as medical expenses, and the deterioration of HRQoL among TP. Male patients experienced poorer HRQoL than females. National action plans are required to guarantee the holistic welfare of thalassemia patients.
