Background and Objectives: The immature skeleton in a pediatric population exposed to frequent physical activity might be extremely prone to injuries, with possible consequences later in adulthood. The main aim of this study is to present specific morphometric parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphological changes of the knee and patella in a physically active pediatric population. Additionally, we wanted to investigate the morphological risk factors for patellar instability. Materials and Methods: The study included the MRI findings of 193 physically active pediatric patients with knee pain. The participants underwent sports activities for 5 to 8 h per week. Two divisions were performed: by age and by patellar type. We evaluated three age groups: group 1 (age 11–14), group 2 (age 15–17), and group 3 (age 18–21 years). In addition, participants were divided by the patellar type (according to Wiberg) into three groups. The following morphometric parameters were calculated: lateral trochlear inclination (LTI), the tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance (TT-TG), trochlear facet asymmetry (TFA), Insall–Salvati index, modified Insall–Salvati index, Caton–Deschamps index, articular overlap, morphology ratio and contact surface ratio. Results: We found a statistically significant association between patellar type groups in LTI (p < 0.001), TFA (p < 0.001), Insal–Salvati (p = 0.001) index, and Caton–Deschamps index (p = 0.018). According to age groups, we found statistical significance in the Caton–Deschamps index (p = 0.039). The most frequent knee injury parameter, according to Wiberg, in physically active pediatric patients was patella type 2 in boys and type 3 in girls. Conclusions: The MRI morphometric parameters observed in our study might be factors of prediction of knee injury in physically active children. In addition, it might be very useful in sports programs to improve the biomechanics of the knee in order to reduce the injury rate in sports-active children.

The accurate estimation of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is a significant foundation in assessing litchi photosynthetic activity and possible nutrient status. Hyperspectral remote sensing data have been widely used in agricultural quantitative monitoring research for the non-destructive assessment of LCC. Variable selection approaches are crucial for analyzing high-dimensional datasets due to the high danger of overfitting, time-intensiveness, or substantial computational requirements. In this study, the performance of five machine learning regression algorithms (MLRAs) was investigated based on the hyperspectral fractional order derivative (FOD) reflection of 298 leaves together with the variable combination population analysis (VCPA)-genetic algorithm (GA) hybrid strategy in estimating the LCC of Litchi. The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) between the 0.8-order derivative spectrum and LCC had the highest correlation coefficients (r = 0.9179, p < 0.01). The VCPA-GA hybrid strategy fully utilizes VCPA and GA while compensating for their limitations based on a large number of variables. Moreover, the model was developed using the selected 14 sensitive bands from 0.8-order hyperspectral reflectance data with the lowest root mean square error in prediction (RMSEP = 5.04 μg·cm−2). Compared with the five MLRAs, validation results confirmed that the ridge regression (RR) algorithm derived from the 0.2 order was the most effective for estimating the LCC with the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.88), mean absolute error (MAE = 3.40 μg·cm−2), root mean square error (RMSE = 4.23 μg·cm−2), and ratio of performance to inter-quartile distance (RPIQ = 3.59). This study indicates that a hybrid variable selection strategy (VCPA-GA) and MLRAs are very effective in retrieving the LCC through hyperspectral reflectance at the leaf scale. The proposed methods could further provide some scientific basis for the hyperspectral remote sensing band setting of different platforms, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has directly and indirectly had an impact on health service provision owing to surges and sustained pressures on the system. The effects of these pressures on the management of long-term or chronic conditions are not fully understood.AimTo explore the effects of COVID-19 on the recorded incidence of 17 long-term conditions.Design and settingThis was an observational retrospective population data linkage study on the population of Wales using primary and secondary care data within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank.MethodMonthly rates of new diagnosis between 2000 and 2021 are presented for each long-term condition. Incidence rates post-2020 were compared with expected rates predicted using time series modelling of pre-2020 trends. The proportion of annual incidence is presented by sociodemographic factors: age, sex, social deprivation, ethnicity, frailty, and learning disability.ResultsA total of 5 476 012 diagnoses from 2 257 992 individuals are included. Incidence rates from 2020 to 2021 were lower than mean expected rates across all conditions. The largest relative deficit in incidence was in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease corresponding to 343 (95% confidence interval = 230 to 456) undiagnosed patients per 100 000 population, followed by depression, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, anxiety disorders, and asthma. A GP practice of 10 000 patients might have over 400 undiagnosed long-term conditions. No notable differences between sociodemographic profiles of post- and pre-2020 incidences were observed.ConclusionThere is a potential backlog of undiagnosed patients with multiple long-term conditions. Resources are required to tackle anticipated workload as part of COVID-19 recovery, particularly in primary care.

BackgroundA risk-stratified approach to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening could result in a more acceptable balance of benefits and harms, and be more cost-effective.AimTo determine the effect of a consultation in general practice using a computerised risk assessment and decision support tool (Colorectal cancer RISk Prediction, CRISP) on risk-appropriate CRC screening.Design and settingRandomised controlled trial in 10 general practices in Melbourne, Australia, from May 2017 to May 2018.MethodParticipants were recruited from a consecutive sample of patients aged 50–74 years attending their GP. Intervention consultations included CRC risk assessment using the CRISP tool and discussion of CRC screening recommendations. Control group consultations focused on lifestyle CRC risk factors. The primary outcome was risk-appropriate CRC screening at 12 months.ResultsA total of 734 participants (65.1% of eligible patients) were randomised (369 intervention, 365 control); the primary outcome was determined for 722 (362 intervention, 360 control). There was a 6.5% absolute increase (95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.28 to 13.2) in risk-appropriate screening in the intervention compared with the control group (71.5% versus 65.0%; odds ratio [OR] 1.36, 95% CI = 0.99 to 1.86,P= 0.057). In those due CRC screening during follow-up, there was a 20.3% (95% CI = 10.3 to 30.4) increase (intervention 59.8% versus control 38.9%; OR 2.31, 95% CI = 1.51 to 3.53,P<0.001) principally by increasing faecal occult blood testing in those at average risk.ConclusionA risk assessment and decision support tool increases risk-appropriate CRC screening in those due screening. The CRISP intervention could commence in people in their fifth decade to ensure people start CRC screening at the optimal age with the most cost-effective test.
From Formula to Form: “Territoires de l'oubli” by Tristan Murail
Authors: Баталов Дмитрий Андреевич 
Published: January 2023

В творчестве Тристана Мюрая сильна преемственная связь как с музыкой Листа, так и с наследием французских композиторов, по-новому претворивших черты листовского пианизма, — Дебюсси, Равеля, Мессиана. В «Территориях забвения» Мюрай исследует, как совместить возможности рояля со спектральным методом сочинения, осуществить эффект инструментального или даже компьютерного синтеза, выстроить крупную форму. Отправной точкой для формирования аналитического ракурса становится феномен спектрального рояля, суть которого — в обнаружении и раскрытии новой природы инструмента. Свой аналитический метод автор формирует, опираясь в том числе на слушательский и исполнительский опыт, и в особенности на тактильное восприятие. В качестве ключевой структурной единицы фактуры выделен слой, базовая фактурная модель названа формулой. Цикл, объединяющий исходную формулу со всеми производными, автор обозначает как форманту, опираясь на исследования музыкальной акустики и теоретические работы Пьера Булеза.
Tristan Murail's work has a strong connection both with Liszt's music and with the legacy of French composers who have transformed the features of Liszt's pianism in a new way-Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen. In “Territoires de l'oubli,” Murail explores how to combine the possibilities of the piano with the spectral method of composition, to realize the effect of instrumental or even computer synthesis, and to build up a large form. The starting point for the formation of the analytical perspective becomes the phenomenon of the spectral piano, the essence of which is the discovery and disclosure of the new nature of the instrument. The author makes his analytical method based on listening and performing experience, and especially on tactile perception. The layer is singled out as the key structural unit of the texture, and the basic texture model is called a formula. The author denotes the cycle uniting the original formula with all its derivatives as a formant, based on the research of musical acoustics and theoretical works of Pierre Boulez.
Igor Stravinsky's Oeuvre in Boris Asafiev's Studies
Authors: Савенко Светлана Ильинична 
Published: January 2023

Статья посвящена исследованиям музыки И. Ф. Стравинского, принадлежащим одному из крупнейших отечественных музыковедов — академику Б. В. Асафьеву (псевдоним Игорь Глебов). Асафьев начал писать о Стравинском в середине 1910-х годов, результатом этой работы стала «Книга о Стравинском» (1929) — одна из первых монографий о композиторе. В статье она охарактеризована как выдающееся музыковедческое исследование творчества Стравинского, начиная от раннего периода вплоть до созданных в конце 1920-х годов сочинений («Царь Эдип», «Аполлон Мусагет», «Поцелуй феи»). Асафьев изучил русский генезис музыки Стравинского, ее корни в архаическом фольклоре, крестьянской полифонии и православной литургии. Он высоко оценил творчество Стравинского в целом, определяя некоторые его сочинения как подлинные шедевры. Кроме того, в статье затронута проблема эволюции Асафьева как исследователя музыки Стравинского; также рассматриваются оценки его труда современниками, включая самого композитора.
The article is devoted to studies about music by I. F. Stravinsky, created by the distinguished Russian musicologist Academician B. V. Asafiev (pen name Igor Glebov). Asafiev began writing about Stravinsky in the mid-1910s; the result of his work was “A Book about Stravinsky” (1929), one of the first monographs about the composer. This book is known as an outstanding musicological study of works by Stravinsky by that time, that is, from the early period to the works completed in 1927 (“Oedipus rex,” “Apollon musagete” and “The Fairy's Kiss”). Asafiev identified the Russian genesis of Stravinsky's music, specifically, its roots in archaic folklore, peasant polyphony and Russian Orthodox liturgy. He highly estimated the work of Stravinsky as a whole and was convinced that some of his compositions were simply masterpieces. In addition, the article touches upon the problem of Asafiev's evolution as a scholar of Stravinsky's music. “A Book about Stravinsky” was also evaluated by contemporaries, including the composer.

After Reading the Anniversary Edition: “Ethnomusicology of Azerbaijan: 1921-2021”
Authors: Шамилли Гюльтекин Байджановна 
Published: January 2023

В связи с выходом в свет коллективной монографии «Этномузыковедение Азербайджана: 1921-2021 годы» в эссе обсуждаются проблемы современной этномузыкологии. На материале истории традиционной азербайджанской музыки в XX столетии демонстрируется ущерб, понесенный устной и устно-профессиональной традицией в результате насильственной европеизации музыкального образования. Формулируется ряд задач, стоящих сегодня перед учеными; в частности, подчеркивается необходимость усовершенствования компьютерных программ для анализа музыки устной традиции — в сочетании со слуховой расшифровкой, обусловленной архитектоникой слуха, воспитанного в собственной культуре исследователя. Подвергаются критике концепции, рассматривающие родство вербального языка у группы народов как важнейший критерий для сравнения их музыкальных культур с последующим механическим объединением этих народов в надцивилизационную общность. В качестве альтернативы такому подходу предлагается метод сравнительного исследования в контексте теории нового универсализма: необходимо учитывать, что в разных сегментах культуры действуют независимые друг от друга механизмы смыслополагания.
This essay discusses the problems of modern ethnomusicology in connection with the publication of the collective monograph “Ethnomusicology of Azerbaijan: 1921–2021.” Based on the history of traditional Azerbaijani music in the 20th century article demonstrates the damage suffered by the oral and oral-professional tradition as a result of the forced Europeanization of musical education. Several of tasks facing scholars today are formulated; in particular, the need to improve computer programs for analyzing the music of the oral tradition is emphasized—in combi­nation with the ear’s interpretation, due to the archi­tectonics of hearing, brought up in the researcher’s own culture. Concepts that consider the kinship of ver­bal language among a group of peoples as the most important criterion for comparing their musical cultures with the subsequent mechanical unification of these peoples into a supracivilizational community are criticized. As an alternative to this approach, a com­parative research method is proposed in the context of the theory of new universalism: it is necessary to take into account that in different segments of culture there are independent mechanisms of sense-making.
Badania historycznych zapraw z Baszty Gotyckiej w Lublinie
Authors: Klimek Beata 
Published: January 2023

Baszta Półokrągła, nazywana także Basztą Gotycką jest jedną z najstarszych budowli Lublina. Została zbudowana w XIV wieku z kamienia i cegły. Była częścią murów obronnych wzniesionych przez króla Kazimierza Wielkiego. W trakcie współcześnie wykonywanych prac restauratorskich, pobrano oryginalne materiały: zaprawy. W artykule przedstawiono charakterystykę mineralogiczną, chemiczną zapraw. Metodyka analityczna obejmowała: jakościową analizę mineralogiczną całej próbki metodą dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej (XRD); badania morfologiczne z pierwiastkową oceną i mikroanalizą spoiwa metodą skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej i spektroskopię rentgenowską z dyspersją energii (SEM-EDS). Wykonano oznaczanie pozostałości części nierozpuszczalnych w kwasie solnym. Metodologia ta pozwoliła na określenie składu zapraw: badania podciągania nasiąkliwości w wodzie po 24 godzinach zanurzenia. Stwierdzono, że badane zaprawy mają podobną budowę mineralogiczną, lecz nieco różnią się udziałem poszczególnych składników, przede wszystkim frakcji kruszywa. Próbki składają się głównie z kwarcu i kalcytu i dodatkowo krzemianów. Ponadto wykazano, że spoiwo wapienne zapraw ma charakter mikrokrystaliczny. Do produkcji historycznych zapraw jako kruszywo wykorzystano głównie piasek kwarcowy i minerały z grupy skaleniowej i krzemianowej.
Feasibility of nondestructive testing using transient vibrations excited by acoustic radiation force
Authors: Kitamura Koko , Nomura Hideyuki 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The use of the transient response in vibro-acoustography to image the mechanical properties of objects was investigated. Verification of the proposed method using aluminum foil showed that transient vibrations are generated by a step-function acoustic radiation force exerted on an object. These vibrations can be used to obtain the frequency characteristics of the object. The proposed method was applied to the one-dimensional imaging of aluminum foil with various mechanical properties. This method captured the distributions of the vibrational amplitude and resonant frequencies, which vary according to local mechanical properties. These results show that the proposed method effectively visualizes the mechanical properties of objects.

Abstract
The growth of large-diameter high-resistivity β-Ga2O3 (010) substrates is important for the low-cost production of lateral Ga2O3 devices. We grew a 2 inch diameter Fe-doped high-resistivity β-Ga2O3 (010) single crystal by using the vertical Bridgman (VB) method, which is expected to grow large-diameter β-Ga2O3 crystals with various crystal orientations. Two-inch substrates were prepared from the obtained crystals, and their crystallinity, concentration of Fe dopants, and electrical properties were investigated. Consequently, a 2 inch β-Ga2O3 (010) substrate, which is comparable to the largest size of (010) substrate prepared using the Czochralski method, was successfully fabricated with the VB method. The in-plane distribution of the X-ray rocking curve from 020 diffraction of the fabricated 2 inch substrate showed that the full widths at half maximums were less than 35 arcsec at almost all measurement points, indicating high crystallinity and high in-plane uniformity. In addition, the crystals contain Fe concentrations in the range of 3.5 × 1018–1.9 × 1019 cm−3, indicating that impurity Si donors are sufficiently compensated by the Fe dopants. Therefore, substrates prepared using the VB method exhibited high resistivities of 6 × 1011–9 × 1012 Ω·cm at room temperature.
Selecting adhesive molecular layers with matched surface free energy and chemisorption for shape-fixed UV-cured thin films fabricated by laser-drilled screen printing and UV nanoimprinting
Authors: Nakagawa Masaru , Kawasaki Kanta , Onuma Akiko , Niinomi Hiromasa 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the importance of surface free energy and chemisorption of substrates for the formation of a UV-cured thin film corresponding to a residual layer in UV nanoimprint lithography. Silicon substrate surfaces were modified with binary molecular layers which were prepared through photo-oxidation of a monomer-repelling monolayer and implantation of a reactive surface modifier with an acrylate polymerizable group. Laser-drilled screen printing enabled the placement of droplets of high-viscosity dimethacrylate UV-curable liquid on the modified substrates. UV nanoimprinting with a modified flat mold surface allowed the formation of UV-cured films with a square shape and a sub-100 nm thickness. The thickness of the UV-cured film was tuned precisely in the case of the substrate showing almost the same surface free energy value as the mold surface. The comparison with and without the reactive surface modifier revealed that the chemisorption was essential for the film formation on the substrates.
Acoustic touchless sensor using the flexural vibration of a plate
Authors: Nakaoka Natsumi , Yamamoto Eimei , Koyama Daisuke 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates a method to detect the position of an object in front of an ultrasonic vibrator using changes in the radiation impedance. This acoustic touchless sensor is composed of a rectangular vibrating plate (width: 30 mm; length: 200 mm; thickness: 3 mm) and two bolt-clamped Langevin-type transducers with stepped horns. The sensor configuration was determined based on the results of a finite element analysis simulation. When a stripe flexural vibration mode excited on the plate was generated an acoustic standing-wave field in the air, the electrical impedance of the ultrasound transducers changed dramatically, thus indicating that the radiation impedance of the sensor was dependent on the object position. By measuring the amplitude of the input current to the transducers and the phase difference between the input current and the voltage applied to the sensor, the 40 mm long object’s position could be determined uniquely within a two-dimensional area of 160 × 7 mm2.

Abstract
To achieve wavelength division multiplexing of optical communications for short distances, we have theoretically investigated a photonic crystal waveguide we call an orthogonal lattice waveguide (OLW), which may have a communication wavelength bandwidth of about 20 nm. In this paper, we fabricate CirD laser structures with air-cladding layers and OLWs of different cavity radii. We confirm that the light emitted from the OLW is the light generated in the cavity. OLW has a wavelength bandwidth of about 20 nm, which agrees with the results of our previous theoretical study. The wavelength shift is about 4 nm when the radius of the circular defect cavity increases by 0.01 a, where a is the lattice constant.
