Abstract
Introduction Women working in police force have unique and vital role to play in law enforcement. Although these women have established a secured place for themselves in the police force, they are exposed to several behavioral and health risks apart from job stress. All these can have potentially serious consequences on their well-being.
Objectives To determine the compliance to breast and uterine cervical cancers screening and identify predictors of participation in breast and cervical cancers screening among women police personnel.
Materials and Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted among the Mumbai police personnel during the period 2019 to 2021. All women working for Mumbai police work force in 12 zones were invited to participate in the study. Temporary clinics for screening were set up in different police stations and eligible participants were enrolled after obtaining written informed consent. This was followed by sociodemographic and risk factor assessment, health education program, screening for common cancers conducted by trained primary health workers (breast by clinical breast examination and uterine cervix by visual inspection with 5% acetic acid). Screen positives were referred according to predefined referral criteria for further investigations and management.
Results A total of 3,017 police women were contacted, among them, 2,629 (87.14%) were eligible for screening, 2,609 (99.24%) participated in health education, and 1,839 (69.95%) complied for breast or cervical cancer screening. Further, compliance for screening of breast and uterine cervix were 1,837 (91.67%) and 1,297 (64.72%). A total of 256 (13.94%) and 217 (11.81%) police women were screen positives for breast and cervical cancers. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, women younger than 50 years, those who were not married or were widowed or separated, postmenopausal women, and those who did not have shift duties had higher compliance for breast and cervix cancers screening.
Conclusion Good participation for breast and cervical cancers screening was seen among the women police personnel. This study has demonstrated that awareness and screening by simple low-cost methods for breast and cervical cancers screening is easily implementable and can be replicated among the women police force in different states of India.

AbstractBackground Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is a common neurological emergency with high mortality, morbidity, and poor quality of life. There is a paucity of follow-up studies from developing nations in pediatric age group.Objectives This article looks for clinico-etiological profile of CSE and estimates the immediate and short-term mortality in children with CSE and its predictive factors.Methodology This prospective longitudinal study was done at a tertiary care institute of Northern India. The patients between the ages of 1 and 16 years with CSE were enrolled after informed consent, they were observed in the hospital, and survived patients were followed till 3 months after discharge.Results A total of 200 patients (58% males) were enrolled. Acute symptomatic (63.5%) was the most common etiology. Twenty-five (12.5%) patients died during hospital stay; at discharge, 160 (80%) had good recovery and rest had a varying range of disability. The predictive factors for poor outcome were female gender, duration of CSE > 1 hour at presentation, generalized seizures, Glasgow Coma Scale < 8 at presentation, refractory status epilepticus, need for critical care support, and acute symptomatic etiology. On follow-up, two patients died at 1-month and one at 3-month follow-up, the cause of death was probably seizures in two patients and feed aspiration in one patient. Seven patients deteriorated from good recovery scoring to moderate disability during the time interval between first and second follow-up, none of them reported apparent repeat seizures.Conclusion Pediatric CSE is associated with immediate poor outcome; risk of death and new disabilities persist after discharge thus proper follow-up is essential.

Published: February 2022

AbstractSpinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. The most severe phenotype—SMA type 1—is characterized by marked muscle weakness also affecting bulbar and respiratory function. Life expectancy of children with SMA type 1 is expected to be less than 2 years without ventilator support or disease-specific drug treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate parents' perspectives on the process of decision-making regarding ventilator support in children with SMA type 1. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were performed with parents of children with SMA type 1 that decided either for or against ventilator support for their child. All children were diagnosed prior to the approval of SMA-specific drug treatment. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was performed using a qualitative content analysis approach according to Mayring. Parents experienced that they were not adequately informed about the disease and treatment options in first informed consent discussions. Especially regarding ventilator support, parents perceived that they were not offered ventilator support as an actual option for treatment. Regarding the decision of whether or not to offer ventilator support, parents reported that their attitude toward ventilator support and contact with other affected families or patient advocacy groups were more likely to influence the decision than the content of informed consent discussions with physicians. Our results underline the importance of an interdisciplinary team not only to provide parents with relevant information but also to consider the criteria of a patient-centered medicine.
The nonredundant nature of the Axin2 regulatory network in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway
Authors: Moshkovsky Ana R. , Kirschner Marc W. 
Published: February 2022

Significance
The mystery of two functionally redundant Axin genes in all vertebrates can now be explained by the demonstration that they form a nested proteostatic and transcriptional feedback system that confers regulatory options in different developmental settings, a form of dynamic versatility that may explain the widespread occurrence of closely related seemingly redundant genes with similar functions.

SignificanceParkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects motor control. While subcutaneous injection of apomorphine (Apokyn) is clinically used to alleviate intermittent episodes of dyskinesia, the treatment requires multiple injections of the drug per day, significantly deterring patient compliance. We introduce a deep eutectic-based ternary solvent system that self-emulsifies in situ following subcutaneous injection and entraps apomorphine, allowing a 48-h duration of detectable drug concentration in the plasma of pigs, which is a remarkable improvement over the clinical comparator. The results from the animal studies support the self-emulsifying system as a potent, long-lasting therapeutic for PD patients and potentially for other therapeutics that have a similar delivery challenge.

SignificanceStress response pathways, such as the DNA damage response and the UPR, are critical in the etiology and treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases. Knowledge of an interplay between ER stress and genome damage repair is emerging, but evidence linking defective DNA repair and impaired ER stress response is lacking. Here, we show that AAG is necessary for UPR activation in response to alkylating agents. AAG-deficient mice and human cancer cells are impaired in alkylation-induced UPR. Strikingly, this defect can be complemented by an AAG variant defective in glycosylase activity. Our studies suggest that AAG has noncanonical functions and identify AAG as a point of convergence for stress response pathways. This knowledge could be explored to improve cancer treatment.
Pseudo-Coordination and Multiple Agreement Constructions
Authors: Giusti Giuliana , Di Caro Vincenzo Nicolò , Ross Daniel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This introductory chapter provides background on the phenomena of Pseudo-Coordination (PseCo) and Multiple Agreement Constructions (MACs) with the aim of familiarizing readers with major trends in previous research on these varied phenomena. Common structural and functional properties used to identify PseCo and MACs are described, along with a detailed discussion of the features that make crucial differences within each phenomenon in individual languages and cross-linguistically. We also observe interesting similarities between the two phenomena and across related and unrelated languages. We maintain a pre-theoretical view here that is compatible with the different approaches represented in the volume.
The properties of the ‘(a) lua și X’ (‘take and X’) construction in Romanian
Authors: Bleotu Adina Camelia 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary classification of the verbal structure (a) lua și X (‘(to) take and X’) in Romanian, showing that it represents a special case of pseudocoordination. The structure behaves differently from both coordination structures and other pseudocoordination structures with respect to the tests proposed by de Vos (2005) and Ross (2013) (e.g. the Coordinate Structure Constraint, coordinator substitution, semantic bleaching, VP-deletion, etc.), as shown by an exploratory acceptability judgment task with 52 native speakers of Romanian testing for 16 structural properties. The results suggest that the existing classification of pseudocoordination structures should be revisited in order to accommodate Romanian ‘take’ as an additional type.
The discourse particle es que in Spanish and in other Iberian languages
Authors: Pérez-Saldanya Manuel , Hualde José Ignacio 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
We examine the historical reanalysis of the Spanish sequence es que (lit. ‘is that’) as a
discourse particle with justificatory and even purely emphatic functions. We argue that the diachronic process
involved first the appearance of non-coindexed pro as subject of the copula es ‘is’
and, at a later stage, deletion of the empty pronoun and syntactic restructuring. The restructuring was triggered by
the use of the construction in counter-argumentative and other contexts where the semantic content of the null
category was not easily recoverable. We also consider parallel developments in Catalan and Portuguese, as well as the
borrowing of the particle es que in colloquial Basque.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Hanging (aggregation stuck to the centrifugal tube) in the centrifugation process is always regarded as an unwanted condition. In this work, we develop a centrifugation-induced assembly of dense hotspots surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates from the hanging phenomenon. We discovered interesting sintering-resistant behavior (maintain the sharp nanotip features) of star-like Au nanoparticles after centrifugation-induced assembly, which is in stark contrast with the sintering phenomenon of sphere-like nanoparticles. We also found that one side of centrifugal-induced Au assemblies is two-dimensional (2D, root mean square (rms) roughness down to ∼10 nm), while the other is three-dimensional (3D, rms roughness more than 100 nm). The close-packed feature of the Au assemblies makes them candidates as dense hotspots based SERS substrates. Through systematic investigation of SERS performance of centrifugation-induced assemblies with different morphology (star-like and sphere-like, 2D and 3D), it was found that the 3D side of star-like Au nanoparticles assembly exhibits the highest SERS enhancement together with quenched fluorescence. The star-like SERS substrate also displays high detection uniformity (with 10−7 M Rhodamine 6G) and a low detection limit (down to 10−12 M Rhodamine 6G).

Abstract
In and Sn are the type of catalysts which do not introduce deep level electrical defects within the bandgap of germanium (Ge). However, Ge nanowires produced using these catalysts usually have a large diameter, a tapered morphology, and mixed crystalline and amorphous phases. In this study, we show that plasma-assisted vapor–liquid–solid (PA-VLS) method can be used to synthesize Ge nanowires. Moreover, at certain parameter domains, the sidewall deposition issues of this synthesis method can be avoided and long, thin tapering-free monocrystalline Ge nanowires can be obtained with In and Sn catalysts. We find two quite different parameter domains where Ge nanowire growth can occur via PA-VLS using In and Sn catalysts: (i) a low temperature-low pressure domain, below ∼235 °C at a GeH4 partial pressure of ∼6 mTorr, where supersaturation in the catalyst occurs thanks to the low solubility of Ge in the catalysts, and (ii) a high temperature-high pressure domain, at ∼400 °C and a GeH4 partial pressure above ∼20 mTorr, where supersaturation occurs thanks to the high GeH4 concentration. While growth at 235 °C results in tapered short wires, operating at 400 °C enables cylindrical nanowire growth. With the increase of growth temperature, the crystalline structure of the nanowires changes from multi-crystalline to mono-crystalline and their growth rate increases from ∼0.3 nm s−1 to 5 nm s−1. The cylindrical Ge nanowires grown at 400°C usually have a length of few microns and a radius of around 10 nm, which is well below the Bohr exciton radius in bulk Ge (24.3 nm). To explain the growth mechanism, a detailed growth model based on the key chemical reactions is provided.
Plasmas, particles and photons—spotlights on multimessenger astronomy
Authors: Tjus Julia Becker 
Published: February 2022

AbstractDuring the past decennia, progress in the area of high-energy astroparticle physics was exceptional, mainly due to the great success of the bridging of particle- and astrophysics both in theory and in the instrumentation of astroparticle physics observatories. Multimessenger data coming from charged cosmic-ray-, gamma-ray- and neutrino-observatories start to shed more and more light on the nature and origin of cosmic rays. At the same time, the development of methods for the investigation of cosmic-ray transport, acceleration and interaction has advanced to the true potential of tying these different pieces of multimessenger data together, this way closing in on the origin of cosmic rays. In recent years, this rapid interplay between modeling and observations has made it clear that it is essential to add the ingredient of plasma physics to the problem. It has been shown that even the interpretation of data of highly relativistic cosmic rays at TeV energies and above is in need of a proper modeling of the plasma physics involved. One of the most important examples is the understanding of wave-particle interactions. In simulations of cosmic-ray transport in the Galaxy, the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient is typically approximated with a Kolmogorov-type cascade model, resulting in an energy-dependent parallel diffusion coefficientκ∥∝Eγwithγ=1/3. Here, we show how the energy dependence of the diffusion coefficient can be investigated systematically as a function ofδB/B. The complex energy behavior that goes well beyond a simple powerlaw interpretation will be presented together with a formal definition of an energy range that indeed can be approximated as a powerlaw. These results are applied to cosmic-ray transport in the Milky Way. Finally, the transition between the ballistic and diffusive regime will be investigated for astrophysical sources with special focus on relativistic plasmoids of active galaxies.
Quantum information masking in non-Hermitian systems and robustness

Published: February 2022

Abstract
By studying quantum information masking (QIM) in non-Hermitian quantum systems, we show that mutually orthogonal quantum states can be deterministically masked, while an arbitrary set of quantum states cannot be masked in non-Hermitian quantum systems. We further demonstrate that a set of linearly independent states which are mutually η-orthogonal can be deterministically masked by a pseudo-unitary operator. Moreover, we study robustness of QIM against noisy environments. The robustness of deterministic and probabilistic QIM under different quantum noise channels is analyzed in detail. Accordingly, we propose and discuss the r-uniform probabilistic QIM in multipartite systems.

Authors: Song Wei 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Thanks to recent developments in artificial intelligence and smart control technologies, unmanned vehicles are becoming pervasively adopted in a variety of scenarios. As a representative example, unmanned minibuses are integrations of vehicle level intelligence and internet of vehicles, where intelligent link mainly depends on the recognition of environment and precise control of drive-by-wire chastises. On top of these, decision-making systems for driving control can be fulfilled to achieve continuous improvement in safety and reliability. The most important parts of the telematics system include high precision map and positioning, which are the foundation for cooperation among vehicles, road-side control units, and cloud-side centers. In this work, we present a solution for unmanned minibuses that integrated smart features for unmanned driving scenarios. Both hardware design and software capabilities are presented. Prototypes have been manufactured and gone through multiple tests, which indicates feasibility of the proposed solution.

Abstract
With the emergence of demand for massive computing tasks in the edge cloud of the city, the disordered computing in the edge cloud leads to the high energy consumption of CPU computing and the problem of too long time delay caused by the blockage of computing tasks. This has become the first technical difficulty to solve in the construction of edge cloud. The virtual machine placement method is optimized by computing energy consumption and computing delay. First, the LRR physical host screening model is constructed to detect the status of the physical hosts and form a list of migrated physical hosts; secondly, the MMT time scale model is constructed to generate the list of migrated virtual machines; finally, the GA algorithm is used to place the virtual machines. The simulation results show that this algorithm can reduce the CPU energy consumption of the edge cloud center by 20. 21% and the time delay by 16. 11%. This optimization method has a good theoretical guidance effect on the construction of cloud computing.

Abstract
With the increase in the share of energy from new energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power, the development and application of integrated energy systems are becoming more and more rapid. However, if energy is not coordinated and optimized, wind and solar abandonment may occur. This is to achieve a variety of energy sources. The integration, complementarity and flexible regulation of the company have brought great challenges. The fifth-generation district heating and cooling system, as a new direction of comprehensive energy development, can greatly improve the energy efficiency of sources and networks and the convenience of user-side energy consumption, but its adjustment potential for the user-side is insufficient. This paper explores the thermal inertia of the existing infrastructure in the system, that is, the user-side building cluster in the regional thermal system, and uses the thermal inertia of the building cluster to improve the overall potential flexibility of the regional-level integrated energy system and realize the optimized operation of the regional integrated energy system, then improve the flexibility and economy of system operation.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Analysis and prediction of power consumption law is the basis of power grid planning and construction, and is also an effective guide for energy demand side management. With the rapid development of economy and the complex change of industrial structure in recent years, the internal structure of power demand is changing to some extent. Therefore, a short-term forecasting method of regional electricity consumption considering the related factors is proposed. Based on the analysis results, a short-term prediction model of regional electricity consumption considering the related factors is established, and the short-term prediction is realized by the calculation of the model. Through the example analysis, it is verified that the forecasting deviation of the short-term forecasting method is low and meets the basic requirements of electric quantity forecasting.
