Eye of the Carpenter: How Well do Orthopaedic Surgery Residents and Faculty Estimate Angular Measurements in Derotational Osteotomies?
Authors: chaclas nathan , Wheatley Benjamin , Grandizio L , Seeley Mark 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
BACKGROUND
Femoral derotational osteotomies are used by Orthopaedic surgeons to decrease anteversion in a variety of pathologies. Intraoperatively, the goal of the surgery is to decrease the rotation of the femur to within physiologic range. Surgeons generally visually estimate the angle of correction based off bone markers at the rotating cylindrical portion of the femur. This study sought to assess the inter-subject reliability between subjects and modalities with respect to alpha angle creation.
METHODS
A rotational femur model was constructed and tested amongst undergraduates, medical students, surgical residents and attendings. Subjects were asked to create angles of 15, 30, 45, and 60 degrees using only Kirschner wires and then only bone marks for reference. Two-tailed independent t-tests were performed to determine variability between cohorts, and effect size was calculated for significant results.
RESULTS
The participants were split into two cohorts: undergraduates and medical students in the ‘non-surgeon’ cohort, and surgical residents and attendings in the ‘surgeon’ cohort. The overall average angle creation error of the surgeon cohort was significantly lower than the non-surgeon cohort. The average angle creation range across all modalities and angles created was significantly lower in the surgeon cohort when compared to the non-surgeon cohort. The non-surgeon cohort was significantly more accurate with the wire modality as compared to the mark modality. The surgeon cohort had no significant difference in inter-modality average error.
CONCLUSIONS
The considerable inter-subject range within the surgeon cohort highlights a need for reinforcement of basic geometric principles within orthopaedic instruction. This model allows for immediate accurate feedback on angle creation. The physiologic range allows for a degree of variability between surgical outcomes without consequence. However, the more than twenty-degree range determined by this study does not fall within those bounds and should be addressed. Moving forward, rotational estimation as a surgical skill should increase in prominence within orthopaedic instruction, and additional emphasis should be placed on fundamental spatial orientation during training.

Abstract
Global food security and sustainable agriculture are two major concerns for escalating human population and the rise in food demands piles up the usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This drastically affects microbial diversity, deteriorates soil fertility, and causes ecological imbalance. A significant and substantial amount of functional N fixing bacterial community inside and in close vicinity of roots supply N efficiently in irrigated ecosystems and their diversity can be altered by organic and inorganic inputs in wetland rice cultivation system. The study explored the existence of culturable diazotrophs bacterial diversity in rice-grown soils those were non fertilized and differently fertilized at Rajendranagar farm fields of ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR), Hyderabad, India. The bacterial isolates were identified by 16SrRNA, and the isolated species of bacterial genera Microbacterium, Mesobacillus and Brevundimonas were not reported earlier in the rice cultivation system. Each of these bacterial isolates is capable of synthesising indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), ammonia and aminocyclopropane-1carboxylate deaminases, 90 percent of the bacterial isolates can produce amylase, 80 per cent have antifungal activity, 70% were diazotrophs and varied percentages of bacterial isolates reported other essential PGP traits. Significant improvement in seedling growth with the application of bacterial isolates was observed. Five of the ten bacterial isolates improved root length, shoot length, total biomass, and seed vigour index by 11–63%, 18–38%, 4–68%, and 20–56% respectively, compared with the control (sterile water) in sterile 0.7% water agar.
Convolutional Vision Transformer for Handwritten Digit Recognition
Authors: Agrawal Vanita , Jagtap Jayant 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Handwritten digit recognition is an essential step in understanding handwritten documents. The state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) methods are mostly preferred for recognizing handwritten digits. Though the recognition accuracy is high, CNN filter weights don’t change even after training. Hence the process cannot adjust dynamically to changes in input. Recently the interest of researchers of computer vision has been on Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs). The use of transformer architecture enabled substantial parallelization and translation quality improvement. The inadequacies of CNNs sparked a hybrid model revolution, which combines the best of both disciplines. This paper is written to view the impact of the hybrid model on handwritten digit recognition. The testing is done on the available benchmark datasets, the Extended Modified National institute of standards and technology (EMNIST) digits dataset, and the most significant historical handwritten digit dataset (DIDA). The 10-fold cross-validation accuracy achieved on EMNIST and DIDA is 99.89% and 99.73%, respectively. The results show that the proposed method achieves the highest accuracy compared to existing methodologies. The proposed method is robust, feasible, and effective on clean and uncleaned images.

Abstract

We describe the clinico-demographical, virological follow-up and management of five confirmed Monkeypox cases from New Delhi, India without any international travel history. The viral load kinetics and viral clearance was estimated in oropharyngeal swab (OPS), nasopharyngeal swab (NPS), EDTA blood, serum, urine and various lesion specimens at every fourth day of follow-up ranging from 5-24 post onset day (POD) of illness. All the five cases presented with mild to moderate grade intermittent fever, myalgia and lesions on the genitals, groins, lower limb, trunk and upper limb. Four cases had non-tender firm lymphadenopathy. No secondary complications or sexually transmitted infections were recorded in these cases except for HBV in one case. All the cases were mild and had good recovery. The high viral load was detected at POD 14 in lesion fluid, followed by lesion roof at POD 5, lesion base at POD 14 while urine, OPS and NPS at POD 5. The MPXV DNA was detected from 5 to 24 POD. These Monkeypox cases suggests the under diagnosed monkeypox infection in the community. This emphasizes the need for active surveillance of MPXV in high-risk population such as Men having sex with men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW).

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the article is to present the experiences of patients who were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2020 and 2021-2022, and then underwent in-patient rehabilitation at the Specialist Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration in Głuchołazy.Material and methods: The study included three groups of patients staying in 2020-2021 and 2022 on post-covid rehabilitation. People from group I contracted COVID-19 in 2020. People from group II fell ill in 2021. In groups I (127 people) and II (68), respectively, the research was conducted in the form of questionnaires. The results obtained from the questionnaires were enriched with the opinions of the third group of patients, collected at the end of 2021 by means of an unstructured interview using the method of free conversation.Results: The results are compatible with the state of research in which similar issues were addressed. There was no conflict between trusting the doctor and having to reject his recommendations (or even diagnosis). The methods of clinical rehabilitation offered to patients after COVID-19 were based on scientific grounds. An individual rehabilitation program implemented in the hospital environment corresponded to the characteristics of such therapy.Conclusions: The subjects experienced COVID-19 as a somatic and private experience. The incidence of COVID-19 was not associated with the possibility of losing a job. Social rights have been recognized as natural security for living conditions in the event of an illness. The respondents found the views disseminated by doctors in the media to be useful and credible. The general standard of reporting the epidemic by official state institutions was negatively assessed. All respondents positively assessed the rehabilitation program offered to them. The results may constitute the basis for a change in the way information on epidemic threats is presented by the official state media.
Global asymptotical synchronization of fractional-order octonion-valued neural networks with impulsive effects
Authors: Gao Jin , Dai Lihua 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a class of fractional-order octonion-valued recurrent neural networks (FOOVRNNs) with impulsive effects and delays is discussed. Firstly, considering the multiplication of octonion numbers does not satisfy the commutativity and associativity, we separate the octonion-valued system into four complex-valued systems. Secondly, we obtain the global asymptotical synchronization of FOOVRNNs by applying the appropriate Lyapunov function. Finally, we give two illustrative examples to illustrate the feasibility of proposed method.

Abstract
The increasing popularity in the use of drones has also led to their adoption by electric utility companies to monitor intrusive vegetation near powerlines due to their ability to provide reliable and cost-effective inspections, minimising downtime and improving the efficiency of the monitoring operations of such companies. Besides the lines themselves, the monitoring also involves surrounding objects, most specifically vegetation. Despite the importance of trees and shrubs in maintaining a healthy environment, the growth of vegetation around power transmission lines poses a threat to the public and utility infrastructure itself. The study proposes a deep learning-based detection framework compatible with UAVs for monitoring vegetation encroachment near powerlines which estimates vegetation health and detects powerlines. The framework leverages on computing capability of NVIDIA Jetson Nano to integrate the Pix2Pix model for estimation of vegetation indices and YoLov5 for detection of powerlines from RGB images captured from drones. YoLov5 obtained good performance for detecting powerlines in aerial images with precision, recall, mAP @0.5, and mAP@0.5:0.95 values are 0.821, 0.762, 0.798 and 0.563 respectively. The Pix2Pix model generated satisfactory synthetic image translations from RGB to LUT. The proposed vegetation detection framework was able to detect locations of powerlines and generate NDVI estimates represented as LUT maps directly from RGB images captured from aerial images which could serve as a preliminary and affordable alternative to relatively expensive multispectral sensors which are not readily available in developing countries for monitoring and managing the presence and health of trees and dense vegetation within powerline corridors.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Purpose: Delinquent adolescent behavior is a significant public health concern for youth who experience early life adversity and complex trauma. The present study explored the longitudinal association between adverse child experiences and future engagement in delinquent behavior.Methods: Using a sample of 1,245 foster youth who are aging out of the child welfare system, mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation analysis was used to test the mechanistic role of post-traumatic stress symptoms and the moderating role of sexual identity and positive future expectations on engagement in delinquent behavior. Results: Results showed a positive and significant association between adverse child experiences and engagement in delinquent behavior. Post-traumatic stress symptoms partially mediated the ACEs-delinquency relationship. In addition, sexual minority youth and youth who were less optimistic about the future who experienced more ACEs had heightened levels of post-traumatic stress. Conclusions: Interventions that promote positive future outlooks may minimize the psychological sequelae of early child adversity and delinquent behavior particularly when tailored to the needs of sexual minority youth.
Unification Conditions of Civilization Patterns: Multi-Agent Modeling of Human History

Abstract
The series of unified empires or dynasties in the history of China (221 BC-1912 AD) have shaped the unification pattern of Chinese culture. Therefore, the eastern civilization (China) can be deemed as a unified culture. In the geographical scope of China in East Asia, there is a stable and continuous history process of one-by-one unified dynasties (empires). Between two old and new unified dynasties in the history of China, there are always chaotic (transitional) periods when several local regimes competed for the absolute power of China (the Mandate of Heaven). In these transitional periods, wars and annexations are always inevitable. Then, only one local regime will succeed in gaining that power, forming a new unified dynasty (empire). The cultural pattern is obviously different in the western world, and there are no stable unification patterns. In Europe, there were also chaotic periods, with wars and annexations. However, there is no stable pattern of unification, which means that no local regimes (countries) have unified mainland Europe. Hence, whether this process can be modeled and revealed? We believe that computational methods can reveal some laws and rules of historical dynamics. For this work, we need to solve the conditions of both the Unity and Disunity. To achieve this goal: first, we build an agent-based model of general history dynamics for the chaotic periods; second, we run the simulations to explore outcomes of the unity and disunity; last, we obtain valid solutions for both the unity of China and the disunity of the West world. It suggests that our valid solutions explain the disunity between China and Europe patterns. Moreover, we can calculate the conditional boundaries of both Unity (China) and Disunity (Europe). Thus, the unification process in human history may be universal, but the outcomes or patterns may be different under different conditions.

Discourse "Sovietskost" in the Intellectual Space of the USSR: on the Materials of Archive of RAS and Russian State Archive of Social and Political History
Authors: Булыгина Т.А. 
Published: August 2022

Работа посвящена состоянию советской гуманитаристики в послевоенном интеллектуальном пространстве Советского Союза. На материалах архивных источников показана эволюция стиля научных дискуссий историков, философов и социологов в 1940–1960-е гг. Как показал анализ документов, менялся сам дискурс «советскости» от безусловного идеологического диктата к более выраженному научному содержанию. Это проявлялось не только в стиле, но и в изменении проблем обсуждения, о чем свидетельствовал рост интереса ученых-историков к методологии истории. Обозначилось научное, а не идеологическое содружество историков и философов. Вместе с тем, советская идеологизированность гуманитарного знания из веры в ее обязательность превращалась в форму социального поведения. Такая тенденция особенно очевидна в делопроизводственных документах научных учреждений.
The work is devoted to the Soviet humanities in the post-war intellectual life. Based on materials from archival sources, the evolution of the style of scientific discussions of historians, philosophers and sociologists in the 1940s - 1960s is shown. As the analysis of the documents has revealed, the very discourse of “Sovietness” was changing from an complete ideological dictate to a more ourspoken scientific content. This was manifested not only in style, but also in changing the problems of discussion, as evidenced by the growing interest of historians in the methodology of history. A scientific, not an ideological community of historians and philosophers, has emerged. At the same time, the Soviet ideologization of humanitarian knowledge was transformed from belief in its obligation into a form of social behavior. This trend is especially evident in the clerical documents of scientific institutions.

Published: August 2022

Статья посвящена анализу основных тенденций в израильской историографии первых двух десятилетий XXI века. Этот период уникален прежде всего тем, что именно в это время израильские историки выходят далеко за рамки исследований, связанных сугубо с еврейской историей и Израилем. И именно в это время исследования израильских историков, посвященные изучению глобальных проблем и процессов современности, получают всемирное признание. Речь здесь идёт прежде всего о работах Ю.Н. Харари и А. Конфино. Особое место в предлагаемой статье посвящено анализу связи между основными тенденциями в развитии израильских государства и общества с процессами, имевшими место в исторической науке этой страны.
In the 21st century, Israel provided the world with several historians at once, who have significantly influenced modern historical research. This article analyzes the processes of development of the State of Israel and Israeli historical science, due to which this phenomenon appeared. The article examines the genesis of the worldview of modern Israeli scientists of the world level: Yu.N. Harari, Boaz Neumann and Alon Confino and the influence that each of them had on modern historical science. In particular, Yu.N. Harari tried to give answers to global problems of our time, and B. Neumann and A. Konfino abandoned taboos and sacralization when studying the topic of the Holocaust and the Third Reich. Their approaches have undoubtedly had a significant impact on the research of Western historians.
Reflections on the Features of Mediality During the First World War: According to the Monograph by A.S. Medyakov “War of the 9X14 Format. Postcards in the German "Culture of War" 1914-1918"

На основе анализа монографии А.С. Медякова рассматриваются особенности бытования и функции немецкой открытки в годы Первой мировой войны. Пристальное внимание уделено освещению комплексного характера открытки, отражавшей индивидуальное и общественное, частное и публичное, связь между фронтом и тылом. Немецкая открытка военной поры предлагала объяснительные модели характера войны, создавала образы немецкой нации, ее союзников и противников в вооруженном конфликте.
The monograph by A.S. Medyakov examines the features of existence and functions of the German postcard during the First World War. The Author pays a close attention to the coverage of the complex nature of a postcard, which reflected the individual and the common, the private and the public, the connection between the front and the rear. Analysis of the German wartime postcards offered explanatory models of the nature of the war, created images of the German nation, its allies and enemies in the armed conflict.
