Abstract
Background Microsurgery is a foundational plastic surgery principle. However, public unawareness of microsurgery and its associated rigorous training in the United States may contribute to current misconceptions and undervaluing of plastic and reconstructive surgeons. This study aims to characterize public knowledge of microsurgery.
Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August to September 2021 using Amazon Mechanical Turk to assess baseline public knowledge of microsurgery. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to evaluate the association between baseline knowledge and demographic characteristics. Significance was set to a p < 0.05.
Results A total of 516 responses were analyzed. The mean age was 36.7 years (standard deviation, 16.04 years; white, 84%; non-Hispanic, 70%). Of those surveyed, 52% agreed that general surgeons perform microsurgery, while only 28% agreed that plastic and reconstructive surgeons perform microsurgery. When asked if head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction, and finger replantation required microsurgery, only 28, 41, and 41% of respondents agreed, respectively. When controlled for sociodemographic factors, Hispanics had significantly more odds to mistake that head and neck reconstruction did not require microsurgery (odds ratio [OR] 95% CI 0.49; 0.30–0.80; p = 0.004) and less odds to consider plastic and reconstructive surgeons for reconstruction (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.32–0.84; p = 0.008). Females had 1.63 more odds of considering plastic and reconstructive surgeons for reconstruction (95% CI 1.09–2.43; p = 0.017). Low-educated participants had significantly more odds to consider general surgeons as those who performed reconstructive microsurgery (OR 8.70; 95% CI 1.09–69.40; p = 0.041).
Conclusion Misconceptions of microsurgery as a foundational principle of plastic surgery persist and correlate with undervaluing the specialty. Knowledge differs by ethnicity, level of education, and gender. Therefore, patient counseling should use culturally appropriate elements to demystify microsurgery, build value, and better inform risks and benefits.
Is Optimal Cytoreduction Post Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy the Only Prognostic Factor in Advanced Ovarian Cancer?
Authors: Dhiman Pravesh , Bapsy P.P. , Patil C.N. , Raghupathi Renu 
Published: July 2022

Background Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in women. Approximately 70% of patients with EOC are diagnosed in advanced stage [The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO stage III and IV)] with an expected 5-year survival rate of 30%. Numerous studies have shown that survival with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) is noninferior to primary debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods In this retroprospective observational study, 50 patients with advanced ovarian cancer, diagnosed from January 2012 to January 2015, were included and followed-up till January 2017. Correlation of NACT with patient profile, CA125 levels, clinicopathologic parameters, progression-free survival (PFS), and treatment response was studied. Statistical analysis was performed using log-rank test and Kaplan-Meir survival plots.
Results The extent of cytoreduction significantly correlated with PFS. The PFS was maximum in patients who had optimal cytoreduction (19 months) and 10 months in patients with suboptimal cytoreduction with p-value < 0.05. The survival was not significantly correlated with other parameters such as age, stage, preoperative CA125 levels, and ascites.
Conclusions The extent of cytoreduction following NACT in this study was associated with statistically significant PFS advantage in patients who were able to undergo optimal cytoreduction, but not significantly correlated to other factors such as age, stage, preoperative CA125 levels, and ascites. NACT followed by interval cytoreduction is an important modality affecting survival in advanced EOC. Further studies and longer follow-up are needed to demonstrate survival advantage over standard treatment.
The SWOT of Damocles: challenges in shaping inclusive place marketing audits

Published: July 2022

AbstractThis paper extends existing research on inclusive place marketing by advancing methodological reflections on how to rework research instruments toward greater inclusivity. Our methodological reflections intend to encourage the dialogue between place marketing theory and practice, as well as reflections on the role that academic researchers take on while co-creating territorial development and promotion projects with a variety of non-academic stakeholders. This is done in the form of a self-reflective account of the multi-disciplinary tourism research team engaged in “RECOLOR” (Reviving and EnhanCing artwOrks and Landscapes Of the adRiatic). This is an INTERREG project funded by the European Commission that aims to enhance the tourist potential of secondary urban and natural resources in Croatia and Italy, with a view to generating sustainable development. Academics and consultants can replicate the research methods suggested in this paper when conducting participatory audits in other destinations.
Embodiment of concealable stigma disclosure through dynamics of movement and language

Published: July 2022

AbstractA concealable stigmatised identity (CSI) is any identity that can be hidden but, if revealed, can be potentially socially devaluing (e.g., sexual minority). Those living with a CSI have opportunities to disclose their identities to friends and family members or within professional contexts. According to the disclosure processes model, people adopt either approach-oriented or avoidance-oriented goals when self disclosing. The current study sought to identify how antecedent goals and relationship context are embodied in the dynamics of unintentional behaviours during disclosure. Participants simulated a disclosure event to both close other and professional other targets and were primed with either approach or avoidance-motivations. Postural activity and language were analysed using detrended fluctuation analysis and recurrence quantification analysis. Results revealed that the movement dynamics of participants who were motivated by approach goals exhibited more complex and flexible behaviour compared to those who were motivated by avoidance goals. In addition, there was more recurrent word use towards close others compared to professional others. These results support the supposition of the disclosure processes model that approach-avoidance motivation impacts behaviour and sheds light on the functional differences between relationship contexts on a CSI disclosure experience.
Characterization of cyclic dust growth in a low-pressure, radio-frequency driven argon-hexamethyldisiloxane plasma
Authors: Donders T J M , Staps T J A , Beckers J 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In a dusty plasma, nanometer-sized solid dust particles can be grown by the polymerization of plasma species from a reactive precursor gas. This type of plasma can be found in large-scale astrophysical objects, as well as in semiconductor manufacturing and material processing. In a laboratory environment, the plasma parameters can be carefully controlled and the dynamics of dust growth as well as the interaction between the plasma and the dust can be studied. In this work, we investigate the cyclic growth of dust particles in a low-pressure, radio-frequency driven argon-hexamethyldisiloxane plasma using a multitude of diagnostics in a time-synchronized fashion. The combination of microwave cavity resonance spectroscopy, plasma impedance measurements, laser light scattering, laser light extinction measurements and optical emission spectroscopy offers a broad view on the temporal behavior of the plasma in concert with the plasma-grown dust particles. We have studied the variation of several discharge parameters such as plasma power and hexamethyldisiloxane content. Therefore, this multi-diagnostic approach contributes to the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms behind dust growth in low-pressure plasmas.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Grain boundary (GB) is a significant factor that deteriorates the transfer characteristics of poly-Si thin-film transistors (TFTs). In this study, we utilized the synergistic effect of microwave annealing (MWA) and high-pressure hydrogen annealing (HPHA) to effectively reduce grain boundary trap (GBT) density, resulting in improved field-effect mobility (μ) and subthreshold swing (SS). To investigate the synergistic effect of MWA and HPHA, the transfer characteristics of rapid thermal annealing and forming gas annealing devices were compared and analyzed as control devices. Furthermore, the mechanism of SS and mobility enhancement can be quantitatively understood by lowering the GB barrier height. In addition, Raman spectroscopy proved that poly-Si crystallinity was improved during MWA. Our results showed that MWA and HPHA play a vital role in reducing GBT density and improving poly-Si TFT characteristics.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we study the topological properties and the gap sequences of Bedford–McMullen sets. First, we introduce a topological condition, the component separation condition (CSC), and a geometric condition, the exponential rate condition (ERC). Then we prove that the CSC implies the ERC, and that both of them are sufficient conditions for obtaining the asymptotic estimate of gap sequences. We also explore topological properties of Bedford–McMullen sets and prove that all normal Bedford–McMullen sets with infinitely many connected components satisfy the CSC, from which we obtain the asymptotic estimate of the gap sequences of Bedford–McMullen sets without any restrictions. Finally, we apply our result to Lipschitz equivalence.
Damage detection in thick plate structures based on ultrasonic SH wave

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Thick plate structures are widely used in large deep-sea scientific detection equipment, such as deep-sea human-occupied vehicles, but they are prone to local damage caused by fatigue due to the complex working environment load. To prevent structural failure due to damage accumulation, it is necessary to carry out structural health monitoring for thick plate structures. In this work, two half-ring thickness poled d15 mode omnidirectional shear horizontal (SH) wave piezoelectric transducers are used to form an exciter/receiver network, and the SH2 mode wave packet is selected as the damage location wave packet. Then, the reconstruction algorithm for the probabilistic inspection of damage and an algorithm based on the time of guided wave flight are applied for damage detection in a 30 mm-thick aluminium plate. Experimental results show that structural damage detection based on SH waves can effectively identify and locate thick plate structural damage and evaluate the damage depth.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Based on measurements over a period of more than 650 days, we investigated the long-term stability of superconducting Mo–Cu bilayer films in the laboratory environment. The samples are based on sputtered films, which were grown for fabricating transition-edge sensor (TES) arrays. The results show an increasing trend of their superconducting transition temperature (

T

c

) and transition width with time. There appears to be a turning point between 150 and 200 d, after which the rate of increasing becomes smaller. We suspect that oxidation occurred at the interface of the bilayer, through exposed edges, until the edges are fully oxidized. If proven, the slower rising trend would reflect the subsequent evolution of the bilayer films through, e.g. further oxidation of the interface, which might change

T

c

through the proximity effect. We quantified the proximity effect with our bilayer samples of different Cu-to-Mo thickness ratios. As a function of the thickness ratio, the measured

T

c

values are fitted well with the Martinis equation, provided that the transmission coefficient (between the layers) and

T

c
,
M
o

of the Mo layer are both allowed to vary. Based on the best-fit model, we found that a change of about 1% in the transmission coefficient would be sufficient to account for the slower variation in the bilayer transition temperature. We also noticed that the best-fit value of

T

M
o

is significantly higher than that measured for our bare Mo films. This could also be explained by surface oxidation of the Mo film samples. The implications of our results on TES-related applications are discussed.
Reinforcement learning of optimal active particle navigation
Authors: Nasiri Mahdi , Liebchen Benno 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The development of self-propelled particles at the micro- and the nanoscale has sparked a huge potential for future applications in active matter physics, microsurgery, and targeted drug delivery. However, while the latter applications provoke the quest on how to optimally navigate towards a target, such as e.g. a cancer cell, there is still no simple way known to determine the optimal route in sufficiently complex environments. Here we develop a machine learning-based approach that allows us, for the first time, to determine the asymptotically optimal path of a self-propelled agent which can freely steer in complex environments. Our method hinges on policy gradient-based deep reinforcement learning techniques and, crucially, does not require any reward shaping or heuristics. The presented method provides a powerful alternative to current analytical methods to calculate optimal trajectories and opens a route towards a universal path planner for future intelligent active particles.
Frequency-amplitude correlation inducing first-order phase transition in coupled oscillators
Authors: Wang Jiangsheng , Gu Changgui , Ji Peng 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The first-order phase transitions in coupled oscillators have been widely studied because of their discontinuity and irreversibility. In previous research, the designed coupling mechanisms between each pair of oscillators can cause the first-order phase transitions occur stably. In the present study, we propose a new mechanism which requires the existence of an inversely proportional relationship between the natural frequencies and the intrinsic amplitudes in the homogeneously coupled oscillators. Based on two classical oscillator models, i.e., the Poincaré model and the Stuart–Landau model, the emergence of explosive oscillation death is independent of the frequency distributions. Our findings indicate that the first-order phase transitions can be induced by the frequency-amplitude correlation for the first time. Therefore, it provides a novel perspective to understand explosive phenomena in coupled oscillators.
Low-frequency acoustic metasurface containing series-type resonators with curled necks
Authors: Chen Jung-San , Kuo Tzu-Huei , Lo Wen-Yang , Wang Cheng-Yi 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study presents a novel acoustic metasurface with a coplanar series-type Helmholtz resonator with curled necks. Using extended necks that are embedded in cavities enables one to significantly reduce the resonance frequency of the resonator. The sound absorption performance of this metasurface is investigated theoretically, numerically, and experimentally. The absorption band can be easily adjusted by altering the neck length and diameter. To achieve a wide frequency band with high absorption, two inhomogeneous units are arranged in parallel. Theoretical and finite-element predictions exhibit good agreement with the experimental measurements. The results demonstrate that the proposed acoustic metasurface with subwavelength thickness is capable of effectively absorbing low-frequency sound.

Abstract
Prevention of disease in Osphronemus gouramy due to infection with A. hydrophila can be done by using immunostimulants, one of which is using Spirulina platensis extract. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of S. platensis extract on gill histopathology and survival rate of O. gourami after being infected with A. hydrophila. The fish were divided into three groups: fish without addition of S. platensis extract and infected with PBS (K-); without giving the S. platensis extract and infected with A. hydrophila (K+); and given extracts of S. platensis at 75, 150 and 300 mg/kgof feed and infected with A. hydrophila. The results showed the lowest value of gill damage was obtained in fish with the addition of 75 mg/kg of feed of S. platensis extract (1.22) and the highest damage was in K+ (2.67). The highest survival rate was found in the addition of 75 mg/kg of feed of S. platensis extract (91.67%) and the lowest was in K+ (70.83%). It can be concluded that the addition of S. platensis extract75 mg/kg of feed proved to be the most effective in reducing gill damage and increasing the survival rate of fish.

Abstract

Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) is a stress protein that can appear in all cell types. HSP70 test is useful as a biomarker (biological response marker) that can be used as a stress marker in fish. Liver and kidney tissue, including types of organs that play an important role in metabolic processes in fish, make it possible for these tissues to respond to the presence of HSP70. This research aims to determine the effect of sublethal exposure to organophosphate pesticides on the expression of HSP70 in the liver and kidneys organ of Silver Rasbora, and to determine the comparison of HSP70 expression between the liver and kidneys organ of Silver Rasbora that exposed to sublethal organophosphate pesticides. This research was conducted in November 2020 - February 2021 using a completely randomized design (RAK) method consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. Each treatment consisted of a concentration of 0.001 ppm, 0.005 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.05 ppm and control treatment of 0 ppm. Silver Rasbora were acclimatized and maintained for 7 days and subjected to pesticide exposure treatment for the last 96 hours. The main parameters in this research were the expression of HSP70 in the liver and kidneys of Silver Rasbora and the supporting parameters observed were survival rate, temperature, pH, ammonia, and dissolved oxygen (DO). The main parameters were analyzed using the one-factor ANOVA test and Duncan's advanced test. Meanwhile, to determine the average difference between liver and fish kidneys, the independent sample T test was used. Supporting parameters were analyzed descriptively using tables and graphs. The results showed that exposure to sublethal organophosphate pesticides affected the appearance of HSP70 expression in the liver and kidneys of Silver Rasbora. The HSP70 value in both organs increased with increasing pesticide concentration. The liver organ has an average HSP70 value higher than that of the kidneys organ.

AbstractSemak Daun Island is commonly used as a tourist destination site in the Kepulauan Seribu Marine National Park. Seagrass beds are found along the coast of this small island and have an essential role as shelter and feeding areas for various aquatic biotas, such as small-sized fishes of Samoan Silverside,Hypoatherina temminckii.Samoan silverside is usually used as bait in the tuna fishery. The present study aimed to determine growth pattern, diet composition, trophic level, guild, and feeding strategy of Samoan silverside in the seagrass ecosystem of the Semak Daun Island. Fish samples were captured using seine net monthly from February 2018 to March 2019. A total of 1,481H. temminckiiwere collected, and all were juvenile. Results indicate that juveniles of Samoan silverside feed mainly on zooplankton and shows specialist predator as its feeding strategy. Moreover, this species occupies trophic levels ranging from 3.00-3.99 and exhibits a positive allometric growth pattern. Thus, the current study confirms that the seagrass ecosystem of the Semak Daun Island is the nursery and feeding grounds for the juvenile of Samoan silverside.

Published: July 2022

AbstractKurau Village is one of the potential villages to become one of the centres of fishery production. These processed products are a mainstay that provides income for the fishing community of Kurau, apart from fresh fish products. The types of products that can be found at the Curve Barat souvenir centre are amplang and getas. This study, the purpose of this study was to determine the proximate content of food ingredients produced by fisheries in the form of amplang and brittle produced from community groups in Kurau Village, Central Bangka Regency Bangka Belitung. This information becomes essential in food products that must be included in the packaging of amplang and getas products. There are three amplang products (squid amplang, squid ink amplang, and crab egg amplang) and one shrimp getas tested proximately. The test results showed that all of these products only had a protein content range of 2.79-3.53%, fat 2.41-3.93%, and the highest proximate content was BETN (Nitrogen-Free Extract Material). Nevertheless, these snacks are MSE (Medium and Small Enterprises) products that can be a driver of economic activity in Kurau village. However, attention to the nutritional value conveyed on the packaging must continue to be developed to provide an understanding of the value of processed fishery products.
