Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
This study aimed to apply multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) to surface EMG to detect neuromuscular changes after realistic warm-up procedures that was followed by various stretching exercises.

Methods
Sixteen volunteers conducted two experimental sessions. Testing included two maximal voluntary contractions before, after a standardized warm-up, and after a stretching exercise (static or neurodynamic nerve gliding technique). EMG was registered on biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles. EMG was analyzed using different parameters obtained from the singularity Hurst exponent function and multifractal power spectrum (both obtained from the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis).

Results
The Hurst exponent, α maximum, and peak value of the multifractal spectrum significantly decreased after warm-up as compared with baseline for both biceps femoris (P = 0.003, P = 0.006, and P = 0.003, respectively) and semitendinosus (P = 0.006, P = 0.013 and P = 0.01, respectively) muscles. No further alteration was obtained after static or neurodynamic nerve gliding stretching as compared with post-warm-up (P = 1.0). No significant difference was obtained for Hurst exponent range, width, and asymmetry of the multifractal spectrum (P > 0.05).

Conclusions
From the present results, EMG depicted multifractal features sensitive to detect neuromuscular changes after a warm-up procedure. An increase in multiscale complexity is revealed after warm-up without any further alteration after stretching. The multifractal spectrum depicted dominant small fluctuations that shifted toward slightly larger fluctuations that could be attributed to motor unit recruitment.

Published: January 2023

Work requirements are common in US safety net programs. Evidence remains limited, however, on the extent to which work requirements increase economic self-sufficiency or screen out vulnerable individuals. Using linked administrative data on food stamps (SNAP) and earnings with a regression discontinuity design, we find robust evidence that work requirements increase program exits by 23 percentage points (64 percent) among incumbent participants. Overall program participation among adults who are subject to work requirements is reduced by 53 percent. Homeless adults are disproportionately screened out. We find no effects on employment and suggestive evidence of increased earnings in some specifications. (JEL H75, I18, I32, I38, J22, J31)

Authors: Bukhari Syed Naseem , Javed Imran , Usman Muhammad 
Published: January 2023

Objective: To determine the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via trans-radial assess (TRA).
Method: A descriptive study was carried out at the Department of interventional cardiology, Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from 30-April 2019 to 30-October 2020. One hundred and twenty-five patients, who underwent PCI by TRA were selected for this study. The presence of Radial artery occlusion was noted 24 hours after the procedure by Doppler ultrasonography. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis. A Chi-square test was applied. P-value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Gender distribution revealed 109 (87.2%) males and 16 (12.8%) females. The mean age of the patients was 65.22 ± 11.54 years. The mean BMI of the patients was 29.93±4.87 kg/m2. 84 (67.2%) patients were hypertensive, 40 (32%) patients were diabetics, 22 (17.6%) patients were smoker and 24 (19.2%) patients were having dyslipidemia. RAO after 24 hours was found in 5(4.0%) patients.
Conclusion: Radial artery occlusion is a common complication of trans-radial assess so radial artery patency must be checked before using it for transcatheter procedures.

Authors: Plowman Adam , Jedrasiak Patryk , Jailin Thomas , Crowther Peter , Mishra Sumeet , Shanthraj Pratheek , Quinta da Fonseca Joao 
Published: January 2023

Background: Formed aluminium alloy sheet materials are increasingly adopted in production processes such as vehicle manufacturing, due to the potential for weight-saving and improved recyclability when compared to more traditional steel alloys. To maximise these benefits whilst maintaining sufficient mechanical properties, the link between formability and microstructure must be better understood. Virtual materials testing is a cost-effective strategy for generating microstructure-informed formability predictions. Methods: We developed an open-source hybrid framework, combining experimental and computational tasks, for generating reproducible formability predictions. Starting with experimental texture measurements and stress-strain curves, we calibrated crystal plasticity (CP) model parameters. The framework used these parameters to perform a large set of multiaxial full-field CP simulations, from which various anisotropic yield functions were fitted. With these anisotropy parameters, we then employed a Marciniak-Kuczyński finite-element model to predict forming limit curves, which we compared with those from experimental Nakazima tests. Results: We executed the workflow with the aluminium alloy Surfalex HF (AA6016A) as a case study material. The 18-parameter Barlat yield function provided the best fit, compared to six-parameter functions. Predicted forming limits depended strongly on the chosen hardening law, and good agreement with the experimental forming limit curve was found. All of the generated data have been uploaded to the Zenodo repository. A set of Jupyter notebooks to allow interactive inspection of our methods and data are also available. Conclusions: We demonstrated a robust methodology for replicable virtual materials testing, which enables cheaper and faster formability analyses. This complete workflow is encoded within a simple yet highly customisable computational pipeline that can be applied to any material. To maximise reproducibility, our approach takes care to ensure our methods and data — and the ways in which that data is processed — are unambiguously defined during all steps of the workflow.

Background. Studies devoted to the analysis of the odontological features of paleoanthropological material and modern population reveal epochal changes in dental structures, as well as ethnic and specific features of the population of individual regions. The study of odontological structures of different epochs allows to obtain information about the reduction and its speed, as well as the prevalence of dental anomalies in individual regions.
Aim. To identify the changeability of the values of the dimensional parameters of maxillary teeth of the population of the city of Krasnoyarsk, taking into account the time vector.
Materials and methods. The current odontometric study was conducted on the modern population of Krasnoyarsk (n=331), the craniological material of the Pokrovsky Necropolis (XVII century, n=73), and the Vsekhsvyatskiy Necropolis (XVIII­–XIX centuries, n=50). The study was carried out on mesiodistal (MDcor) and vestibulo-oral (VOcor) crown diameters. The modules of teeth crowns (mcor) and the average module of dental crown (mcor M(1-3) (according to the modules of molar crowns) were calculated to characterize the dimensional parameters of teeth crowns in each group in order to determine the general characteristics of the absolute size of the teeth in the jaw.
Results. Both in female and male samples, the reduction of mesio-distal and vestibulo-oral diameters of some teeth, and accordingly, the reduction of teeth-crown module was revealed. The reduction of maxillary teeth-crown module among the population of Krasnoyarsk of the XVII–XIX is more marked among women. The crown module of right maxillary canine (13 tooth) reduced by 6.41% among women and 3.03% among men by the XXI century. The crown module of 23 tooth reduced by 6,43 % and 2,77% among women and men respectively. Significant reduction of teeth-crown dimensions and modules of teeth 25, 26, 27 by 4,62%, 3,17 % and 1,55% is typical for women, whereas this tendency is not specific to men.
Conclusions. The analysis of the variability of maxillary teeth-crown modules confirmed the ongoing processes of teeth reduction. The obtained dimensions of the average maxillary teeth-crown module reveal the microdontia in females and mesodontia in males.

Authors: Yaskevich Roman A. , Moskalenko Olga L. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose. To study the features of affective disorders in women with arterial hypertension in combination with metabolic syndrome.
Materials and methods. 361 women with arterial hypertension were examined, of which 270 were patients with metabolic syndrome. Verification of metabolic syndrome carried out according to the clinical recommendations of the All-Russian Scientific Society of Cardiology of 2009. A hospital anxiety and depression scale used to identify and assess the severity of affective disorders.
Results. A study of the individual severity of affective disorders among examined women with arterial hypertension showed that increased levels of anxiety were generally detected in half 48,3% of the examined women with metabolic syndrome. In a third 28,0% of women surveyed in this group, anxiety disorders subclinically pronounced, and clinically pronounced anxiety occurred in 20,3% of those examined. Increased levels of depression detected in 39.1% of women with metabolic syndrome examined. At the same time, almost a quarter 23,6% of the women examined in this group had depressive disorders of a subclinically pronounced nature, and clinically pronounced depression found in 15.5% of those examined. At the same time, among women with metabolic syndrome, the incidence of depression was statistically significantly higher than the same rate among women without metabolic syndrome. In women with metabolic syndrome, the anxiety rate was also higher, but the differences identified had no statistical significance.
Conclusion. The highest incidence of affective disorders was among women with metabolic syndrome. The most frequent metabolic syndrome variant in the group of women with elevated anxiety was three-pronged 44%, and in the group with elevated depression, four-pronged 43%. More often in both groups, there was a combination of metabolic syndrome components such as abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension and lipid metabolism disorders.
Color constancy from a pure color view
Authors: Yue Shuwei , Wei Minchen 
Published: January 2023

Great efforts have been made on illuminant estimation in both academia and industry, leading to the development of various statistical- and learning-based methods. Little attention, however, has been given to images that are dominated by a single color (i.e., pure color images), though they are not trivial to smartphone cameras. In this study, a pure color image dataset, “PolyU Pure Color,” was developed. A lightweight feature-based multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network model—“Pure Color Constancy (PCC)”—was also developed for estimating the illuminant of pure color images using four color features (i.e., the chromaticities of the maximal, mean, brightest, and darkest pixels) of an image. The proposed PCC method was found to have significantly better performance for pure color images in the PolyU Pure Color dataset and comparable performance for normal images in two existing image datasets, in comparison to the various state-of-the-art learning-based methods, with a good cross-sensor performance. Such good performance was achieved with a much smaller number of parameters (i.e., around 400) and a very short processing time (i.e., around 0.25 ms) for an image using an unoptimized Python package. This makes the proposed method possible for practical deployments.
A descriptive retrospective study on HIV care cascade in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines
Authors: Nepomuceno Marisse , Abad Cybele Lara , Salvaña Edsel Maurice 
Published: January 2023

Introduction
The HIV care cascade is a model used to examine the engagement of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in medical care from the time of diagnosis to sustained viral suppression. This study describes the stages of the cascade from linkage to care, antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation, retention in care, and virologic suppression- at the University of the Philippines—Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) STD/AIDS Guidance and Intervention Prevention (SAGIP) treatment hub in the context of existing cascades with similar demographics.

Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients enrolled at the UP-PGH SAGIP treatment hub from June 2015 to December 2017. Baseline demographic and clinical data were collected, relevant to each stage of the cascade. Descriptive statistics using Microsoft Excel version 16.0 was used to characterize data and cumulative and conditional proportions were reported.

Results
Of the 584 patients included in the cohort, majority were male (91.1%), with a median age of 29 years (range, 0.17 to 68 years). Male-to-male sex was the most common mode of transmission (325/584, 55.6%). Among all patients enrolled at the UP PGH SAGIP treatment hub, 99.5% were linked to care, 95.0% initiated ART, 78.8% were retained in care and maintained on ART, 47.9% were tested for HIV viral load, and 45.5% achieved viral suppression.

Conclusion
A high proportion of patients enrolled at the UP-PGH SAGIP treatment hub are linked to care and initiate ART, exceeding the set goal of 90%, which is higher than reported nationwide. However, there is a substantial decrease in the number of patients who are subsequently retained in care, tested for HIV viral load, and achieve viral suppression. Gaps in the cascade related to healthcare delivery need to be investigated further and addressed by future studies. We recommend implementation of a community-based, patient-centered approach in order to reach the goals of the HIV cascade, with particular focus on young, MSM-PLHIV.

Facial recognition is a significant part of criminal investigations because it may be used to identify the offender when the criminal's face is consciously or accidentally recorded on camera or video. However, a majority of these digital photos have poor picture quality, which complicates and lengthens the process of identifying a face image. The purpose of this study is to discover and identify faces in these low-quality digital photographs using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) face identification method and the Viola-Jones face recognition method. The success percentage for the labeled face in the wild (LFW) dataset is 63.33%, whereas the success rate for face94 is 46.66%, while LDA is only a maximum of 20% on noise and brightness. One of the names and faces from the dataset is displayed by the facial recognition system. The brightness of the image, where the facial item is located, and any new objects that have entered the scene have an impact on the success rate.
The EU Green Deal: the challenge of greening medical technologies
Authors: Rampi Valérie , Bisazza Oliver 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
As sustainability has been a growing priority of the European Union (EU) in the last decade, especially since the establishment of the EU Green Deal, the medical technology sector – including the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) sector – must comply with European legislation in this field, like all other sectors. However, this sector faces particular challenges as the health and safety of human lives are at stake. Chemicals, in particular, can comprise a politically sensitive issue, as they can pose risks to the environment that need to be managed. At the same time, the same chemicals can be considered essential to safeguard continuity of diagnostic services to health systems, who rely on laboratory medicines for the treatment of patients. An important task for the EU Green Deal to succeed, from an IVD sector perspective, is therefore to find the right balance between serving patients on the one hand and protecting the planet on the other.
Margaretas periphere Visionen. Mission, Kolonisierung und „race“ im Spätmittelalter am Beispiel der Saami
Authors: Heß Cordelia 
Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Fünf Briefe, überliefert im Kopiarbuch des Klosters Vadstena, beleuchten die Geschichte der Visionärin Margareta, die Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts um klerikale und royale Unterstützung für ihr Projekt der Missionierung und Konvertierung der Saami warb. Diese Briefe erfordern eine Kontextualisierung in drei unterschiedliche Richtungen: erstens mit Blick auf die Geschichte spätmittelalterlicher weiblicher Visionärinnen und deren Erfolge und Misserfolge; zweitens hinsichtlich der Geschichte der europäischen Expansion durch Mission an den nördlichen und östlichen Peripherien der christlichen Welt (hierbei ist besonders der Aspekt interessant, dass Laien eine zentrale Rolle in der Mission spielten). Und drittens ist es nötig, die Bedeutung dieser christlichen Mission für die Ausprägung rassistischer Kategorien in der Begegnung mit indigenen Bevölkerungsgruppen zu berücksichtigen. Anders als in der bisherigen Forschung wird dabei der Ethnizität der Missionarin gemäß dem Quellenbefund nur eine geringe Rolle beigemessen, was zu einer Neubewertung der Kategorie race bezüglich der Saami im Mittelalter führt.
Der Streit der Erben um die Zukunft. Das erste Revolutionsjubiläum 1849 aus europäischer und lokaler Perspektive
Authors: Seidl Klaus 
Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Die Erinnerung an den Ausbruch der Revolution im Frühjahr 1848 ist bislang vor allem als posthumes Phänomen untersucht worden, das zu den ‚runden‘ Jubiläen verlässlich wiederkehrt. Die Erinnerungsgeschichte spielte jedoch bereits anlässlich des ersten Revolutionsjubiläums 1849 eine zentrale Rolle, als der Ausgang der Revolution noch völlig offen war. Die Feiern, die europaweit stattfanden, waren ein performativer Ausdruck einer noch vorläufigen Revolutionsbilanz, sie dienten den Revolutionären wie ihren Gegnern zur Selbstvergewisserung und politischen Mobilisierung. Der Beitrag nähert sich diesem „Streit der Erben“ zu Lebzeiten, indem er erstens die Feiern der Februarrevolution als grenzüberschreitendes Ereignis in den Fokus rückt und deren europäische Dimension wie auch deren lokale Verankerung betont. Die Staatsakte und Bankette fanden nicht nur in Paris, sondern auch in der Provinz, in den Nachbarländern und sogar in Großbritannien statt und verfolgten unterschiedliche Ziele. Zweitens standen die Feiern zudem in Beziehung und Konkurrenz zu den Märzfeiern der nationalen und lokalen Revolutionsausbrüche, die an unterschiedlichen Tagen begangen wurden und jeweils eigene Akzente setzten. Die Veranstaltungen kreierten einen unabgeschlossenen, originellen und einmaligen Symbolkanon, der transnational geprägt war und auch politische Gegensätze integrieren konnte. In der lebendigen öffentlichen Erinnerung an das Vorjahr erscheint das Jahr 1849 als eine große Zeit der Möglichkeiten, in der um die Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft der Revolution gestritten wurde.

Abstract

Objectives
The inability to adapt to difficult and stressful situations in the environment leads to low resilience ability in street children. Knowing the influencing factors is important to help them achieve optimal resilience. This study aims to analyze the relationship between factors related to street children’s resilience.

Methods
This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was street children in two halfway-home in Surabaya (Kampung Anak Negeri and Sanggar Alang-Alang). The sample was 129 respondents obtained using simple random sampling. The independent variables were unpleasant past experience, antisocial behavior, level of depression, age, sex, length of time being street children and positive support. The dependent variable was resilience. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed by Spearman Rho-test with p<0.05.

Results
The result showed, that unpleasant past experiences (p=0.00 and r= −0.313), level of depression (p=0.00 and r= −0.279) and positive support have an association with resilience (p=0.000 and r=0.331). The lowest unpleasant past experiences and depression levels and the higher positive support will make higher resiliency in street children.

Conclusions
This study has explained the unpleasant past experiences and depression levels as risk factors and the positive support as a supportive factor for street children’s resilience.
Fluidity in argument indexing in Komnzo
Authors: Döhler Christian 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis article addresses the verb morphology of Komnzo, a language of Southern New Guinea. It provides a description of verb indexing in Section 1, which is followed by a corpus analysis of a small class of verbs. Komnzo verb morphology encodes transitivity by distinct alignment patterns in the verb morphology, which I call ‘verb templates.’ Templates encode participant constellation, e.g. transitive or ditransitive, as well as event structure, e.g. dynamic versus stative. The system allows for some fluidity as to which lexemes can be used in which template. In addition to the description, the main contribution of the article lies in an in-depth examination of the interaction between lexical semantics and the morphological structure in Komnzo. This article takes an empirical approach, which draws on evidence from a text corpus of over 12 h of natural speech and comprises more than 12,000 inflected verb forms.
