Deep learning-based real-time analysis of lightpath optical constellations [Invited]
Authors: Ruiz M. , Sequeira D. , Velasco L. 
Published: March 2022

Optical network automation requires accurate physical layer models, not only for provisioning but also for real-time analysis. In particular, in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) constellation analysis enables deep understanding of the characteristics of optical connections (lightpaths), e.g., their length. In this paper, we present methods for modeling lightpaths based on deep learning. Specifically, we propose using autoencoders (AEs) and deep neural networks. Models are trained and composed in a sandbox domain with the information received from the network controller and sent to the node agent that uses them to compare the features extracted from the received signal and the expected features returned by the models. We investigate two different use cases for lightpath analysis focused on lightpath length and optical signal power. The results show a remarkable accuracy for the lightpath modeling and length prediction and a noticeable performance of the AEs for unsupervised IQ constellation feature extraction and relevance analysis.

BackgroundThe epidemiology of central nervous system (CNS) infections in tropical Australia is incompletely defined.MethodsA retrospective study of all individuals in Far North Queensland, tropical Australia, who were diagnosed with a CNS infection between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019. The microbiological aetiology of the infection was correlated with patients’ demographic characteristics and their clinical course.ResultsThere were 725 cases of CNS infection during the study period, meningitis (77.4%) was the most common, followed by brain abscess (11.6%), encephalitis (9.9%) and spinal infection (1.1%). Infants (24.3%, p<0.0001) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians (175/666 local residents, 26.3%, p<0.0001) were over-represented in the cohort.A pathogen was identified in 513 cases (70.8%); this was viral in 299 (41.2%), bacterial in 175 (24.1%) and fungal in 35 (4.8%). Cryptococcal meningitis (24 cases) was diagnosed as frequently as pneumococcal meningitis (24 cases). There were only 2 CNS infections with aS.pneumoniaeserotype in the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine after its addition to the National Immunisation schedule in 2011. Tropical pathogens–includingCryptococcus species(9/84, 11%),Mycobacterium tuberculosis(7/84, 8%) andBurkholderia pseudomallei(5/84, 6%)–were among the most common causes of brain abscess. However, arboviral CNS infections were rare, with only one locally acquired case—a dengue infection in 2009—diagnosed in the entire study period. Intensive Care Unit admission was necessary in 14.3%; the overall case fatality rate was 4.4%.ConclusionTropical pathogens cause CNS infections as commonly as traditional bacterial pathogens in this region of tropical Australia. However, despite being highlighted in the national consensus guidelines, arboviruses were identified very rarely. Prompt access to sophisticated diagnostic and supportive care in Australia’s well-resourced public health system is likely to have contributed to the cohort’s low case-fatality rate.
Jordanian views regarding sharing of medical data for research: A cross-sectional study during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Khatatbeh Moawiah , Gharaibeh Lobna F. , Khabour Omar F. , Abu-Farha Rana K. , Alzoubi Karem H. 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
In the current study, the views of Jordanian regarding sharing medical reports for research purposes were investigated during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, motivators and barriers regarding sharing of medical records were examined.

Methods
This observational survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted using an electronic questionnaire during the COVID-19 pandemic (second half of 2020). The questionnaire link was disseminated through two social media platforms (WhatsApp and Facebook), targeting Jordanian adults (age >18 years).

Results
In this study, 1,194 participants agreed to complete the study survey. Results showed that 58.3% of them (n = 696) reported to be willing to share their medical data. while 17.6% of the participants (n = 210) showed hesitancy to share their medical information. The most important motivators as perceived by the study participants were helping other patients who have similar health conditions (n = 995, 83.3%). Moreover, fearing from stigma (n = 753, 63.1%), and the lack of confidence in data security and privacy (n = 728, 61.0%) were among the main barriers preventing participants from sharing their information. Finally, results showed that participants with higher educational level (bachelor or higher) (OR = 0.299, P<0.001), or those living in center of Jordan (OR = 0.270, P<0.001) showed a lower tendency to share their medical data. While participants those who have shared data before showed a higher tendency to share their medical data (OR = 2.524, P<0.001).

Conclusion
In this study, many of the participants had a positive attitude towards sharing biomedical data for scientific research during the COVID-19 pandemic, many had doubts in the control over their data. Thus, policymakers and data users should address the concerns and values of patients and understand their preferences in favor of an ethically scrupulous use of data in research.
Calorimetry of extracellular vesicles fusion to single phospholipid membrane
Authors: Grava Miriam , Helmy Sally , Gimona Mario , Parisse Pietro , Casalis Loredana , Brocca Paola , Rondelli Valeria 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-mediated communication relies not only on the delivery of complex molecular cargoes as lipids, proteins, genetic material, and metabolites to their target cells but also on the modification of the cell surface local properties induced by the eventual fusion of EVs’ membranes with the cells’ plasma membrane. Here we applied scanning calorimetry to study the phase transition of single phospholipid (DMPC) monolamellar vesicles, investigating the thermodynamical effects caused by the fusion of doping amounts of mesenchymal stem cells-derived EVs. Specifically, we studied EVs-induced consequences on the lipids distributed in the differently curved membrane leaflets, having different density and order. The effect of EV components was found to be not homogeneous in the two leaflets, the inner (more disordered one) being mainly affected. Fusion resulted in phospholipid membrane flattening associated with lipid ordering, while the transition cooperativity, linked to membrane domains’ coexistence during the transition process, was decreased. Our results open new horizons for the investigation of the peculiar effects of EVs of different origins on target cell membrane properties and functionality.
Rough set-based entropy measure with weighted density outlier detection method
Authors: Sangeetha Tamilarasu , Geetha Mary Amalanathan 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The rough set theory is a powerful numerical model used to handle the impreciseness and ambiguity of data. Many existing multigranulation rough set models were derived from the multigranulation decision-theoretic rough set framework. The multigranulation rough set theory is very desirable in many practical applications such as high-dimensional knowledge discovery, distributional information systems, and multisource data processing. So far research works were carried out only for multigranulation rough sets in extraction, selection of features, reduction of data, decision rules, and pattern extraction. The proposed approach mainly focuses on anomaly detection in qualitative data with multiple granules. The approximations of the dataset will be derived through multiequivalence relation, and then, the rough set-based entropy measure with weighted density method is applied on every object and attribute. For detecting outliers, threshold value fixation is performed based on the estimated weight. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated and compared with existing outlier detection algorithms. Datasets such as breast cancer, chess, and car evaluation have been taken from the UCI repository to prove its efficiency and performance.
Prediction of insulin therapy in women with gestational diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Authors: Alvarez-Silvares Esther , Bermúdez-González Mónica , Vilouta-Romero Martina , García-Lavandeira Sandra , Seoane-Pillado Teresa 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To identify antenatal risk factors that may predict the need for insulin treatment upon diagnosis of gestational diabetes (GDM), that is, to identify the specific characteristics of women diagnosed with GDM who did not achieve good glycemic control through lifestyle modifications.

Methods
We performed a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Science Direct, Ebsco, and Scielo for studies evaluating the associations between antenatal factors and the need for insulin treatment published until January 28th, 2021. Random-effects models were used to estimate risk ratios and their 95% confidence interval. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random-effects models were used to estimate outcomes, and effects reported as risk ratio and their 95% confidence interval. The systematic review and meta-analysis were registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.

Results
Eighteen observational studies were selected, reporting 14,951 women with GDM of whom 5,371 received insulin treatment. There were statistically significant associations between the need for insulin treatment and BMI ≥ 30 (RR:2.2; 95%CI: 1.44–3.41), family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (RR:1.74; 95%CI: 1.56–1.93), prior personal history of GDM (RR:2.10; 95%CI: 1.56–2.82), glycated hemoglobin value at GDM diagnosis (RR:2.12; 95%CI: 1.77–2.54), and basal glycemia obtained in the diagnostic curve (RR: 1.2; 95%CI: 1.12–1.28). Nulliparity and maternal age were not determinants factor. There was moderate-to-high heterogeneity among the included studies.

Conclusions
the strong causal association between BMI ≥ 30, family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, prior history of GDM and glycosylated hemoglobin with the need for insulin treatment was revealed.
Origin and development of the suffix -ARÍA in Romance
Authors: Rainer Franz 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The origin and development of the compound suffix -ARÍA in (Latin and) Romance has repeatedly been addressed in works on the history of Romance word formation, without however reaching a broad consensus. In the present article, the problem is discussed again from a pan-Romance perspective and on a broad factual basis. The first chapter argues that the compound suffix’s second element, i.e. -ÍA, was already highly polysemous in (late) Latin and that the Romance languages inherited this polysemy. It is therefore misguided to treat the semantic fragmentation of the suffix as a process that took place independently in the single Romance languages. We then turn to a description of the single Romance languages and dialects, treating first the state of the art for each of these and then presenting the different patterns that can be observed, especially in the older stages. The next chapter looks at the single patterns one by one, discussing to what extent they are present in each Romance language and at the dialectal level. The lexemes that turned out to be crucial from a diachronic perspective receive special attention. The final chapter summarizes the main findings, which depart in important ways from traditional wisdom.
Saña y codicia como conceptos rectores de la miscelánea castellana del ms. Salamanca, Biblioteca Universitaria, 1877
Authors: Casais Alejandro 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Salamanca, University Library, MS 1877 (1469–1470) is a miscellany made up of genetically independent works, all in Castilian: the Fuero real by Alfonso X; a translation of the Barlaam et Josaphat; sayings of the desert fathers taken from the Vitae patrum of Pelagius and John; a translation of John of Rupescissa’s Vade mecum in tribulatione; segments of three French Arthurian romances (Libro de Josep Abarimatia, Estoria de Merlín and Lançarote); a short catechism with no known direct source. But it is also miscellaneous because, as usually occurs in these compilations, the collected works belong to different textual genres: code of law; oriental didactic literature; hagiographic and apocalyptic discourses; Arthurian romance; catechetical compendium. Taking materialist philology as a theoretical framework, this article will propose a unitary reading of the manuscript from the hypothesis that among its dissimilar components there are semantic ties that give it a specific coherence and meaning. We will claim that the codex explores a series of exemplary variations destined to reprove the excess of irascible (saña) and concupiscible (codicia) appetites that those who dedicate themselves to active life tend to experience against the virtues of justice and prudence that are essential to access contemplative life.
Contatti linguistici lungo le coste tirreniche: storia della parola marruffo
Authors: Retaro Valentina 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The article intends to reconstruct the linguistic history of a particular fishing gear called marruffo, which is still used in the Gulf of Naples and in a few places of the North Tyrrhenian coasts. The marruffo is a fishing trap used by fishermen to preserve the catch while awaiting sale. Conical in shape, it looks like a large basket with a lid, in which fish or crustaceans of various types are placed. Starting from the 1871 work by the naturalist Achille Costa, entitled La pesca nel golfo di Napoli, the attestations of marruffo in Campania, Sardinia and Corsica are outlined. I put forward the hypothesis that the object arrived on the Tyrrhenian coasts as a consequence of migrations of fishermen from the Neapolitan area to the islands of Tuscany, Sardinia and Corsica between the 18th and 19th century. Since in southern Italy the name marruffo also indicates a jug for wine or water, I hypothesize that the word was extended from the lexicon of everyday life to the fishing lexicon throughout a process of resemantization, as it was demonstrated for other similar cases.
Sardo thurpu ‘cieco’: un grecismo tra sostrato e latinità
Authors: Areddu Alberto G. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The article discusses the origin of Sardinian thurpu ‘blind’, which some authors consider as part of the Prelatin autochthonous stratum (Wagner, Tagliavini, Rohlfs), whereas others assume that it is borrowing from Southern Italian Greek (Ribezzo, Tuttle). In conclusion, the second hypothesis seems more likely, even if the Greek term may well have been present in Sardinia before the arrival of the Romans.

Napjainkban egyre több adatbázis vélik digitálisan elérhetővé, mind a szöveges, mind a vizuális forrásokat tekintve (a pandémiás helyzet ezt a folyamatot csak felerősítette) – a kutatás számára ez egyre bővülő lehetőségeket nyit meg, több perspektívát kínálva a közelmúlt történetének kutatásához. A tanulmányban a neves amerikai fényképész, utazó és újságíró, Harrison Forman 1960-as magyarországi látogatásának fotóanyagát használva mutatom be a képelemzések társadalomtörténeti hasznosíthatóságát. A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries honlapján közzétett gyűjtemény nemcsak a képeket tartalmazza, hanem azt az úti jegyzetfüzetet, naplót is, amibe Forman a benyomásait jegyzetelte és ez a forrás jól kiegészíti az elemzést. A korban egyedülálló színes képek a mindennapok társadalomtörténetéhez fontos adalékot nyújt, a kollektivizálás, az iparosítás, a fogyasztás és kultúra számos területét lefedve, a régi és az új, modernizálódó világ átmenetiségét jól bemutatva.

Published: March 2022

Bright blue photoluminescence (PL) was obtained from Bi3+-activated LaBO3 (B = In, Ga, Al) perovskite nanophosphors. A cost-effective and low-temperature chemical route was employed for preparing Bi3+ doped LaBO3 (B=In, Ga, Al) which were then annealed at 1000 °C. The phase formation, morphological studies and luminescent properties of the as-prepared samples were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence and optical absorption spectroscopy. Comparison of emission intensities, lifetime studies, energy band gaps and color purity of all samples (pure and Bi3+ doped) were investigated for promising applications in UV light-emitting diodes, variable frequency drive (VFD), field emission display (FED), and other photoelectric fields.
Effects of Orthodontic Functional Appliances in Relation to Skeletal Maturation of Cervical Vertebrae In Class II Malocclusion
Authors: Guinot Francisco , Ferrer Marina , Díaz-González Lara , García Cristina , Maura Isabel 
Published: March 2022

Aim: To evaluate the effects produced by functional orthodontic appliances at dental and skeletal level in relation to the level of skeletal maturation in class II patients
Study design: Longitudinal and observational study
Patients selected for the study had been wearing Sander Bite Jumping Appliance (SBJA) for at least 12 months; they were first diagnosed (T1) with skeletal class II according to Ricketts’ cephalometric analysis, and had had lateral cephalograms taken before and after orthopaedic treatment (T2). Variables studied at T1 and T2 were: facial convexity, inclination of the upper and lower incisors, and facial depth. Results were compared between T1 and T2 for each variable and in relation to cervical maturation stage (CVS) according to the Lamparski analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using Shapiro–Wilk, t-student, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparison tests, taking as statistically significant a p-value &lt;0.05.
Results: A final sample of 235 patients was obtained. Statistically significant differences were found in the inclination of the mandibular incisors between T1 and T2 and among the different cervical stages when the functional appliances were placed in CVS1 (p = 0.000), CVS2 (p = 0.04) or CVS5 (p = 0.048). For the remaining variables, significant differences were also found between T1 and T2, but these differences were similar in all cervical stages.
Conclusions: A significant proclination of the mandibular incisors was found when the functional appliance was placed during CVS1, CVS2, or CVS5. Time of placement of the functional appliances was not statistically significant for the remaining variables studied.
