Published: March 2023

Abstract. Objective: confluent T1 hypointense marrow signal is widely accepted to represent
osteomyelitis on MRI. Some authors have suggested that non-confluent bone
marrow signal abnormality should be considered early osteomyelitis. The
purpose of this study was to address this issue by comparing the rate of
osteomyelitis and amputation based on T1 marrow signal characteristics.
Materials and methods: a total of 112 patients who underwent MRI of the foot for the evaluation
of possible osteomyelitis were included. Patients were assigned to confluent
T1 hypointense, reticulated T1 hypointense, and normal bone marrow signal
groups.
Results: patients with confluent T1 hypointense signal on MRI had significantly
higher rates of osteomyelitis and amputation at 2 and 14 months post-MRI than the
reticulated T1 hypointense group (p<0.001). Six patients had normal
T1 signal, 16.7 % of whom had osteomyelitis and underwent amputation by 2 months post-MRI. Of 61 patients with reticulated T1 hypointense signal, 19.7 % had
a diagnosis of osteomyelitis at 2 months post-MRI and 30.8 % had
a diagnosis of osteomyelitis at 14 months post-MRI; moreover,
14.8 % and 31.5 % underwent amputation by 2 and 14 months post-MRI, respectively.
Of 45 patients with confluent T1 hypointense signal, 73.3 % of patients
had osteomyelitis at 2 months post-MRI and 82.5 % had osteomyelitis at 14 months post-MRI. In this group,
66.7 % underwent amputation by 2 months post-MRI and 77.8 % underwent amputation by 14 months post-MRI.
Conclusions: over half of the patients with suspected pedal osteomyelitis who had
reticulated or normal T1 bone marrow signal on MRI healed with conservative
measures. Therefore, we recommend terminology such as “osteitis”,
“reactive osteitis”, or “nonspecific reactive change” to describe bone
marrow edema-like signal and reticulated hazy T1 hypointense signal without
associated confluent T1 hypointensity. Moreover, we recommend that the MRI diagnosis
of osteomyelitis is reserved for confluent T1 hypointense bone signal in the
area of concern.

Published: March 2023

This study investigated the inner and outer intercanthal distances in a Nigeria population. Materials and Methods: The cross sectional study was carried on 384 adults (males and females) between the ages of 18-35years. This study was carried in Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria. A pair of digital venier calipers was used to carry out anthropometric measurement of the inner and outer intercanthal distances measured between the medial and lateral ends of the palpebral fissures respectively.The canthal index (CI) was calculated as [ICD x 100]/OCD. Simple descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated from the data obtained. Gender and age differences were scrutinized using the students’ t-test and correlation respectively. P value <0.05 was accepted as significant difference. Results: The mean canthal dimensions for the Nigerian population was inner-canthal distance (38.65±1.49mm), outer-canthal distance (76.25±4.03mm), and canthal index (50.85±3.50). According to gender, inner-canthal distance was 39.15±1.44mm and 38.15±1.38mm, outer-canthal distance was 76.59±4.13mm and 75.89±3.91mm, and canthal index was 51.26±3.46 and 50.41±3.52 for male and female respectively. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the inner-canthal distance and canthal index between male and female. There was insignificant correlation between: age and inner-canthal distance (r= 0.082, p= 0.108), age and outer-canthal distance (r= -0.024, p= 0.641), and age and canthal index (r= 0.064, p=0.213). Conclusion: Sexual dimorphism occurred as the inner canthal distance and canthal index were significantly higher in males compared to females in the Nigerian population.
Simulation of Hafnium-Based FinFET and Ferroelectricity of Related 2-Dimensional Hafnium-Based Materials
Authors: Wu Haoyu 
Published: March 2023

The application of MOSFET is constrained because cannot be successfully scaled down as the power density per unit area in an integrated circuit growing exponentially. Inserting ferroelectric layer can cause Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) to transit to Negative Capacitance CMOS (NCMOS), which presents steeper Subthreshold Swing (SS) and a higher ratio. However, typical ferroelectric materials are not compatible with present CMOS production process. In this work, both Hafnium-based FinFET compatible with CMOS and normal Silicon-based FinFET are simulated to compare their electrical properties. The result shows that the drain current of Hafnium-based FinFET is 3.52 times larger than the Silicon-based one when gate voltage is 1.0V. In addition, the on/off current ratio also raises from to . Other detailed electrical properties of Hafnium-based FinFET are also given out, including electric field distribution and valence band energy. Besides, through ab-initio calculation based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), 2-dimensional Hafnium dioxide which is different from bulk Hafnium dioxide is simulated to show its ferroelectricity.
The Correlation of the Mindfulness and Placebo Effect
Authors: Jin Lucy 
Published: March 2023

The key finding in this paragraph was that, whether in a biological or functional sense, there are significant differences between the placebo effect and mindfulness therapy. Both methods trigger different brain regions to activate in function as intended, but there hasn't been reliable research to demonstrate this, and the multiple experiments that has been conducted has flaws. Therefore, further research is required to verify this occurrence.

Authors: Cui Hetong 
Published: March 2023

Agricultural products are the basic national economy and an important pillar product to protect people's livelihood, "people are food for the day", food is the most basic human survival resource, the basic position of agriculture in the national economy, prominently expressed in the role of food. However, since the outbreak of the new corona virus in 2020, agricultural products around China have been stagnant, and it is of great importance to actively respond to the call of the national policy for rural revitalization and high-quality agricultural development to help solve the problem of stagnant agricultural products. With the rapid development of China's Internet and e-commerce in recent years, it has become very common for China's traditional industries to involve in Internet platform sales, which has greatly broken through the restrictions of time and space and effectively reduced transaction costs. The rapid development of the agricultural products online sales industry is expected to gradually become a new development opportunity for agricultural products sales in the future. Therefore, this paper proposes a new idea of agricultural products-market-customer online sales based on the actual situation at present.
Fashion Designer Application Based on Generative Adversarial Network
Authors: Liu Ziming 
Published: March 2023

Embodying the design from scratches has been a common problem for all designers. In some situation, clothes designers have trouble creating works that match their idea the most. Creating a fine work from a simple sketch is a tedious process of endless try-and-error. Designers spend days, weeks, or even months drawing drafts and discard them, because they need to draw the picture that best embodies the idea in their head. This study proposes a deep learning method that can generate clothes images from human sketch input, explores the effect of different image to sketch translators, different Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture, loss functions and regularization methods. Many previous works have demonstrated strong results on conditioned image generation, and this study shows that similar settings can be transferred to help designers to embody their designs. The result shows that the model can generate clothes images with high fidelity while faithful to the input sketch.
The relationship between gut microbiota and schizophrenia: Recent research and treatment application
Authors: Yang Kunda , Qi Jingtong 
Published: March 2023

Schizophrenia (SZC) is a common, chronic, and severe mental illness. Recent years have witnessed increased study into the link between gut microbiome and psychotic disorders, particularly schizophrenia. Focusing on inflammatory, tryptophan compounds, and BDNF concentrations, we examine the data that currently exists linking intestinal microbiota to schizophrenia and explain how the presumptive dysregulation could fit into accepted theories of the disease's pathophysiology. We looked at recent research and assessed the therapeutic possibility of modifying the intestinal microbiota with prebiotics as adjuvant therapy for schizophrenia. Overall, although the available information on microbiome changes in schizophrenia is extremely erratic and inadequate to draw any firm conclusions. There were successful attempts that decreased the risk of SCZ by interfering with the intestinal microbiota. The gut microbiota is a possible approach to the treatment of schizophrenia.

Linear Programming for Influence Maximization Problems in Social Networks Based on Diffusion Models
Authors: Zhang Pengxuan 
Published: March 2023

Influence maximization is a challenging problem that combines optimization and the study of social sciences. The purpose is to find the most influential individual within a society with a limited number of initial nodes. With the increasing use of social networks these years, Understanding and using forceful diffusion will spread social events or innovations far more widely than the conventional perspective of communication. Many studies have focused on providing algorithmic methods, ignoring the study of finding the optimal point. Although it is still difficult for computer community to settle massive influence maximization issues computationally, it presents a significant opportunity to build operations research-based models, approaches, and analyses at this interface. In the current research, the influence maximization problem is investigated as a discrete optimization issue on social networks. It focuses on the creation of precise techniques for resolving massive cases near the optimal and will provide two classical diffusion models describing the propagation of influence in networks. Finally, given the additional constraints considered, an extension of the trigger model with effective analysis is proposed.
The World of Fourier Series
Authors: Chen Guanting 
Published: March 2023

The idea of Fourier analysis is to express general functions as sums of other choices of basic functions such as sines and cosines. One can interpret it as decomposing a vector into a set of basis vectors in the context of linear algebra. This paper will discuss differential equations and specifically focusing on approximating solutions using Fourier analysis. In modern times, Fourier analysis is not only used in the field of signal processing. As an important subfield of mathematical analysis, Fourier analysis has been broadly applied to various engineering fields, such as image processing, vibration analysis, acoustics, etc.

Authors: Колоколов А.В. 
Published: March 2023

В статье акцентируется внимание на проблеме обеспечения качества оказания медицинской помощи. Проводится систематизация экспертизы качества медицинской помощи в качестве одного из основных инструментов контроля качества. Автором поднимается проблема отсутствия системности в подходе к определению методики подготовки экспертных заключений по результатам проведения экспертизы качества медицинской помощи, что снижает эффективность и качество экспертной оценки. В статье раскрыты особенности установления соответствия медицинской документации обязательным требованиям законодательства Российской Федерации в сфере охраны здоровья, лежащие в основе методики проведения ЭКМП, предложен унифицированный подход (единые требования) к подготовке экспертных заключений, что позволит обеспечить процессуальный порядок производства ЭКМП, надлежащее оформление ее результатов и, как следствие, проводить оценку их допустимости, относимости и достоверности в качестве доказательства. Автором обоснована необходимость разработки методологии формирования экспертных выводов, включая установление медицинского и юридического критериев, признаки противоправности действия (бездействия) медицинского работника, степень общественной опасности, создающую угрозу причинения вреда жизни и здоровью пациента либо непосредственное причинение вреда жизни и здоровью пациента, что является актуальной и значимой задачей дальнейших научных исследований.

AVALIAÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO E CONSUMO DA VITAMINA D DURANTE A PANDEMIA ENTRE ADOLESCENTES
Authors: Cassita Ana Júlia de Moura , Besson Jean Carlos Fernando , De Moura Priscilla Negrão , Silva Bruno Ferrari , Madi Ana Paula Lang Martins 
Published: March 2023

Descoberta no início do século XX, a vitamina D recebeu esse nome por suceder as vitaminas A, B e C. Suas propriedades antirraquíticas desencadearam uma série de estudos que evidenciaram sua ação sobre o metabolismo do cálcio e fósforo, que juntamente com o paratormônio (PTH) e a calcitonina, mantêm a mineralização e a formação óssea normais. O presente projeto apresentado é construído com base nos princípios da iniciação científica, objetivando, através do acompanhamento, assegurar a promoção da saúde da população através dos conceitos da alimentação e práticas saudáveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento e utilização da vitamina D em adolescentes e discorrer sobre o conhecimento dessa população da importância dessa vitamina, bem como da utilização ou não da mesma como suplemento alimentar, através de aplicação de questionário entre adolescentes. Caracteriza-se como um estudo com método científico, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa de pesquisa transversal com técnica de amostragem não probabilística por meio da metodologia bola de neve (snowball sampling). Foram convidados a participar adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos, de vários países, sendo que a pesquisa foi realizada única e exclusivamente no formato on-line, por meio de questionários virtuais via Google Formulários, em português e em inglês. Durante os meses de junho e julho de 2021 foram avaliados indivíduos de forma remota, através de questionário estruturado de administração indireta. Como parte do questionário, tiveram perguntas sobre o consumo de alimentos fontes de vitamina D para posterior análise da frequência alimentar dos mesmos. Os indivíduos foram inquiridos após consentimento informado. Conforme os gráficos e tabela acima, as idades predominantes de respostas foram adolescentes de 13, 14, 16 e 17 anos e do sexo feminino. Do total de participantes, 336 (91,55%) acreditam que a população não está bem informada sobre vitaminas e suplementos vitamínicos e o consumo alimentar diário de alimentos ricos em vitamina D é baixa entre os participantes da pesquisa. O aparecimento de doenças e isolamento aumentaram o interesse e preocupação no aumento da imunidade e utilização de suplementos. Também deve-se estimular o consumo dos alimentos ricos em vitamina D. Desta forma, espera-se uma abrangência coletiva desta pesquisa em prol do fornecimento de práticas adequadas e ações que apresentem subsídios para prevenção de problemas de saúde decorrentes da má alimentação na população e promoção da saúde com ênfase na sustentabilidade social.
