Published: February 2023

AbstractAlthough lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) possess a high theoretical specific capacity and energy density, the inherent problems including sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics and the shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) have severely hindered the development of LSBs. Herein, cobalt selenide (CoSe2) polyhedrons anchored on few‐layer TiSe2‐C nanosheets derived from Ti3C2Tx MXenes (CoSe2@TiSe2‐C) are reported for the first time. The dual‐conductive CoSe2@TiSe2‐C heterostructures can accelerate the conversion reaction from liquid LiPSs to solid Li2S and promote Li2S dissociation process through high conductivity and lowered reaction energy barriers for promoting overall sulfur redox kinetics, especially under high sulfur loadings and lean electrolyte. Electrochemical analysis and density functional theory calculation results clearly reveal the catalytic mechanisms of the CoSe2@TiSe2‐C heterostructures from the electronic structure and atomic level. As a result, the cell with CoSe2@TiSe2‐C interlayer maintains a superior cycling performance with 842.4 mAh g−1 and a low‐capacity decay of 0.031% per cycle over 800 cycles at 1.0 C under a sulfur loading of 2.5 mg cm−2. More encouragingly, it with a high sulfur loading of ≈7.0 mg cm−2 still harvests a high areal capacity of ≈6.25 mAh cm−2 under lean electrolyte (electrolyte/sulfur, E/S ≈ 4.5 µL mg−1) after 50 cycles at 0.05 C.

AbstractThe sympathetic nervous system (SNS) of the bone marrow regulates the regeneration and mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells. Chemotherapy can damage bone marrow SNS, which impairs hematopoietic regeneration and aggravates hematologic toxicities. This leads to long‐term bone marrow niche damage and increases mortality in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Electrical neuromodulation has been used to improve functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. This study demonstrates that electrical sympathetic neuromodulation (ESN) of bone marrow can protect the bone marrow niche from chemotherapy‐induced injury. Using carboplatin‐treated rats, the SNS via the sciatic nerve innervating the femoral marrow with the effective protocol for bone marrow sympathetic activation is electrically stimulated. ESN can mediate several hematopoietic stem cells maintenance factors and promote hematopoietic regeneration after chemotherapy. It also activates adrenergic signals and reduces the release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin‐1
β, which contribute to chemotherapy‐related nerve injury. Consequently, the severity of chemotherapy‐related leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and mortality can be reduced by ESN. As a result, in contrast to current drug‐based treatment, such as granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor, ESN can be a disruptive adjuvant treatment by protecting and modulating bone marrow function to reduce hematologic toxicity during chemotherapy.

AbstractConductive fibers are vital for next‐generation wearable and implantable electronics. However, the mismatch of mechanical, electrical, and biological properties between existing conductive fibers and human tissues significantly retards their further development. Here, the concept of neuro‐like fibers to meet these aforementioned requirements is proposed. A new wet spinning process is established to continuously produce pure gelatin hydrogel fibers. The key is the controllable and rapid gelation of spinning solutions based on the salting‐out effect, which is inspired by the Chinese food tofu. The resultant fibers exhibit neuro‐like features of soft‐while‐strong mechanical properties, high ionic conductivity, and superior biological properties including biodegradability, biocompatibility, and edibility, which are crucial for implanted applications but seldom reported. Furthermore, all‐weather suitable neuro‐like fibers with excellent anti‐freezing and water retention properties are developed by introducing glycerol for wearable applications. The optical fiber, transient electronics, and electronic data glove made of neuro‐like fibers profoundly demonstrate their potential in biomedical applications.
AutoCRW: Learning based robust watermarking for smart city applications
Authors: Amrit Preetam , Singh Amit Kumar 
Published: February 2023

AbstractDeep learning has become a promising model in the industry due to its superior learning accuracy and efficiency. In addition to conventional applications, such as fraud detection, natural language processing, image classification and reconstruction, object detection and segmentation this model can be widely used for data hiding, that is, watermarking. Existing transformed‐domain‐based watermarking provided better robustness toward attacks. In this article, an interesting autoencoder convolutional neural network (CNN)‐based watermarking technique, AutoCRW, is proposed, which can prevent intellectual property theft of digital images. First, the autoencoder functionality of CNN generates two versions of the same image, namely positive and negative version of the images, which decompose by a transformed domain scheme. Then, watermark information is embedded into the output images, which can be extracted to realize copyright protection and ownership verification. Finally, a denoising convolutional neural network (DnCNN) is employed over the extracted mark to ensure the robustness of the watermarking system. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high invisibility and good robustness against several attacks.

Machine learning approach to residential valuation: a convolutional neural network model for geographic variation
Authors: Lee Hojun , Han Hoon , Pettit Chris , Gao Qishuo , Shi Vivien 
Published: February 2023

AbstractGeographic location and neighbourhood attributes are major contributors to residential property values. Automated valuation models (AVM) often use hedonic pricing with location and neighbourhood attributes in the form of numeric and categorical variables. This paper proposed a novel approach to automated property valuation using a machine learning model with a convolutional neural network (CNN), fully connected neural network layers with numeric and categorical variables. In this study we compare the results of a fused model, which treat geographical data as an input with the performance of the baseline neural network model with only numerically or categorically represented data. Furthermore, the residential valuation by the proposed fused model was tested with actual sold price data in Greater Sydney, Australia. The study found that the fused model produced valuations with a significantly lower mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) (8.71%) than the MAPE of the baseline model (11.59%). The results show that the fused model with CNN significantly improves the accuracy for residential valuation, reducing spatial information loss by data manipulation and distance calibration.

AbstractOne of the essential elements of automated and intelligent machining processes is accurately predicting tool life. It also helps in achieving the goal of producing quality products with reduced production costs. This work proposes a computer vision-based tool wear monitoring and tool life prediction system using machine learning methods. Gradient-boosted trees and support vector machine (SVM) techniques are used to predict tool life. The experimental investigation on the CNC machine is conducted to study the applicability of the proposed tool wear monitoring system. Experiments are performed using workpiece material made of alloy steel and PVD-coated cutting inserts, and flank wear is monitored. An imaging system consisting of an industrial camera, lens, and LED ring light is mounted on the machine to capture tool wear zone images. Images are then processed by algorithms developed in MATLAB®. Boosted tree methods and the SVM methodology have 96% and 97% prediction accuracy, respectively. Validation tests are carried out to determine the accuracy of proposed models. It is observed that the prediction accuracy of boosted three and SVM is good, with a maximum error of 5.89% and 7.56%, respectively. The outcome of the study established that the developed system can monitor the tool wear with good accuracy and can be adopted in industries to optimize the utilization of tool inserts.
Putative molecular targets for vitamin A in neutralizing oxidative stress in acute and chronic pancreatitis — a systematic review
Authors: Burzyński Jacek , Fichna Jakub , Tarasiuk Aleksandra 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAcute pancreatitis (AP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are debilitating diseases of gastrointestinal tract and constitute great threat for human health in high-income countries. Recent studies emphasize the impact of oxidative stress on development of these pathologies, and numerous authors evaluate the effect of the antioxidant therapy on the course of AP and CP. Though several antioxidative agents were discovered in the past decades, vitamins remain canonical antioxidants. Despite the fact that vitamin A is known for its antioxidative effect, there is little data about the impact of vitamin A on oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of AP and CP. The scope of the review is to evaluate molecular targets for vitamin A, which may be involved in oxidative stress occurring in the course of AP and CP. Our research of available literature revealed that several mechanisms are responsible for attenuation of oxidative stress in AP and CP, including Nrf2, MAPK, AMPK, TLR3, and TLR4. Furthermore, these factors are at least partially expressed in vitamin A-dependent manner, though further investigations are required for elucidating in detail the role of vitamin A in defense against reactive oxygen species. Our review revealed that vitamin A might influence the expression of several molecular pathways involved in antioxidative defense and cytoprotection; thus, its administration during AP and CP may change the course of the disease.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Purpose
MR imaging was used to visualize the vestibular and cochlear endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Meniere’s disease (MD). The relationship between the degree of hydrops and clinical characteristics, audiovestibular function, anxiety and depression state in MD patients.

Methods
70 patients with definitely or probably unilateral Meniere’s disease received bilateral intratympanic gadolinium administration and MR scanning. The degree of bilateral vestibular and cochlea hydrops were analyzed and evaluated by three-dimensional real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) sequence, and the correlation between the grades of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and disease course, vertigo grading assessment, the duration of vertigo, hearing loss level, caloric test, vestibular myogenic evoked potential (VEMP), electrocochleogram (EcoG), vertigo disability scale (physical, emotional, functional), anxiety and depression scale were studied.

Results
It was found that the vestibule and cochlea EH of the affected and the contralateral ear had different degrees of hydrops and there was no statistical difference between the left and right vestibules. The degree of vestibule EH (V-EH) was significantly positively correlated with the degree of cochlear EH (C-EH). C-EH and hearing loss level were positively correlated with EcoG. There was positive correlation between vestibular EH and hearing loss level, VEMP, caloric test, disease course or vertigo duration. There was a negative relationship between Dizziness Handicap Inventory (Emotion) (DHI(E)) and VEMP. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were positive correlated with DHI(E) and DHI total scores in MD patients.

Conclusion
Endolymph-enhancing MRI was used as an important imaging method for the diagnosis of labyrinthine hydrops in Meniere’s disease. There were certain correlation between EH and the degree of vertigo attack, hearing loss level, vestibular function, and further changes in anxiety and depression emotion.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
Endoscopic resection for early oesophageal cancer was introduced around 2000 in the Netherlands. The scientific question was how the treatment and survival of early oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer has changed over time in the Netherlands.

Methods
Data were obtained from the nationwide population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry. All patients diagnosed with clinical in situ or T1 oesophageal or GOJ cancer without lymph node or distance metastasis during the study period (2000–2014) were extracted. Primary outcome parameters were the trends in treatment modalities over time and relative survival of each treatment regime.

Results
A total of 1020 patients were diagnosed with a clinical in situ or T1 oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer without lymph node or distance metastasis. The proportion of patients who received endoscopic treatment increased from 2.5% in 2000 to 58.1% in 2014. During the same period the proportion of patients who received surgery decreased from 57.5 to 23.1%. Five-year relative survival of all patients was 69%. Five-year relative survival after endoscopic therapy was 83% and after surgery 80%. Relative excess risk analyses showed no significant difference in survival between patients in the endoscopic therapy group and patients in the surgery group after adjustment for age, sex, clinical TNM classification, morphology and tumour location (RER 1.15; CI 0.76–1.75; p 0.76).

Conclusion
Our results demonstrate an increase in endoscopic treatment and a decrease of surgical treatment for in situ and T1 oesophageal/GOJ cancer between 2000–2014 in the Netherlands. The relative 5-year survival after endoscopic treatment is high (83%) and comparable with surgery (80%).

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) has proved to be an effective technique in complicated stem removal in femoral aseptic loosening or periprosthetic fracture. Debate remains about its safety in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The primary aim of this study is to analyze the ETO reinfection and union rate in two-stage hip revision.

Material and methods
A systematic literature review was performed regarding all studies reporting ETO outcomes in the two-stage revision for hip PJI up to October 2022, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses criteria. A literature search was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE/EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane. Quality assessment of the articles was performed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies. This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews. Patient demographic, clinical, and surgical data were collected.

Results
This systematic review included and analyzed nine clinical studies with a total of 382 ETO PJI hips in two-stage revision. The overall ETO reinfection rate was 8.9% (34 hips), consistent with the reinfection rate after two-stage revision in patients without ETO. The overall ETO union rate was 94.8% (347 hips), comparable to the ETO union rate in non-septic patients. Compared between a group of patients with ETO PJI and a group of patients with non-PJI ETO, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications, both septic and aseptic, and for postoperative HHS.

Conclusion
ETO proved to be a safe and effective procedure in PJI revisions. It may be a viable option in challenging femoral stem removal during the two-stage hip revision in PJI.

Exploiting domain knowledge to address class imbalance and a heterogeneous feature space in multi-class classification
Authors: Hirsch Vitali , Reimann Peter , Treder-Tschechlov Dennis , Schwarz Holger , Mitschang Bernhard 
Published: February 2023

AbstractReal-world data of multi-class classification tasks often show complex data characteristics that lead to a reduced classification performance. Major analytical challenges are a high degree of multi-class imbalance within data and a heterogeneous feature space, which increases the number and complexity of class patterns. Existing solutions to classification or data pre-processing only address one of these two challenges in isolation. We propose a novel classification approach that explicitly addresses both challenges of multi-class imbalance and heterogeneous feature space together. As main contribution, this approach exploits domain knowledge in terms of a taxonomy to systematically prepare the training data. Based on an experimental evaluation on both real-world data and several synthetically generated data sets, we show that our approach outperforms any other classification technique in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, it entails considerable practical benefits in real-world use cases, e.g., it reduces rework required in the area of product quality control.
Heavy metal exposure risk associated with ingestion of Oreochromis niloticus and Coptodon kottae harvested from a lacustrine ecosystem

Published: February 2023

AbstractLacustrine ecosystems have not been widely assessed for heavy metal contamination and associated health risks; yet, they could be accumulating these contaminants to the detriment of aquatic organisms and communities relying on them for various aspects. The water quality index (WQI) and concentrations of heavy metals including As, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in water, sediment, Oreochromis niloticus, and in the endemic and endangered Coptodon kottae in Lake Barombi Kotto in Cameroon were determined to evaluate fish heavy metal bioaccumulation, and heavy metal exposure risk posed to communities consuming these fish species. The WQI of the lake was found to be excellent with heavy metal concentrations that were lower than what was obtained in the sediments and fish samples. Mean heavy metal concentrations in sediment ranged from 0.86 ± 0.03 mg/kg for Cd to 560.1 ± 11.15 mg/kg for Fe. In both fish species, Fe, Mn, and Cu had the highest concentrations. Though the heavy metal concentrations in the lake water were low, heavy metal bioconcentration factors for both fish species were very high ranging from 1.6 for Fe to 1568 for Mn. The concentration patterns of heavy metals in the organs of both fish species followed the order bones > gut > muscle. Consumption of these two fish species contributes less than 1.0% of the permissible tolerable daily intake (PTDI) and provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of these metals with lead (Pb) having the potential to exceed permissible exposure levels when high amounts of these fish are consumed by adults.
Augustine and Heidegger on Verticality and Everydayness
Authors: Dahl Espen 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe first part of the article examines how Augustine’s notion of the everyday is mediated by his mystical ascensions, which give him the sense of height against which everydayness appears as oriented downward or fallen. These are the coordinates that make up the fundamental verticality of Augustine’s view. Heidegger’s understanding of everydayness was influenced by Augustine, particularly its inherent tendency to fall. In the article’s second part, it is argued that Heidegger explicitly avoids all references to metaphysical or religious heights. For his reason, his notion of falling appears problematic as it both invokes and abandons verticality. Arguably, Heidegger’s turning from verticality to horizontality comes with a cost, as it must renounce the possibility of conceiving the radicality of the fall from a perspective from above. However, as the article’s final part shows, Heidegger and Augustine do not only provide a view of everydayness as falling, but they both share the conviction that there is more to it: Heidegger speaks of the enigmas rooted in everydayness itself, which, however, do not point above, but toward its overlooked sense of Being; Augustine invokes ordinary events as traces of wonder that point from the lowly up to the transcendence of God.
