Abstract
Gallium (Ga) and aluminum (Al) belong to group IIIA elements in the periodic table. They show a coupled geochemical behavior in most natural systems and are considered as “geochemical partners.” However, compared with the principal oxyhydroxides of Al in nature, gibbsite [Al(OH)3], boehmite (γ-AlOOH), and diaspore (α-AlOOH), only the analogs söhngeite [Ga(OH)3] and tsumgallite (α-GaOOH) were reported. In this work, boehmite-type GaOOH (γ-GaOOH), a new polymorph of GaOOH, was synthesized for the first time using boehmite (γ-AlOOH) as a template. The synthesized γ-GaOOH was characterized by a series of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Furthermore, a model based on the boehmite structure was successfully applied to define the γ-GaOOH structure by the Rietveld method. Results from sample characterization and structural refinement support the successful synthesis of boehmite-type GaOOH, and thus it is referred to as γ-GaOOH. The synthesis of γ-GaOOH in the laboratory is valuable to understanding the Ga geochemistry and its enrichment process in Ga-rich boehmite in coal and bauxite.

The Current technological developments make PT. KAI (Kereta Api Indonesia) as a business entity that regulates and provides rail transportation services has been transformed into providing online ticket reservation services, one of which is through the KAI Access application. But it needs to be realized that the marketplace trend has also penetrated travel deals that also provide train ticket reservations, one of which is Traveloka. This interesting phenomenon is the basis for conducting research to see whether the application owned by PT KAI has been able to compete with other applications that also provide online train ticket sales services. By being able to compete, PT KAI can show credibility in providing online ticket transactions. Both applications are tested using the Usability indicators from HCI: Learnability, Efficiency, Memorability, Errors, and Satisfaction. This study resulted in a comparison of the two applications by each HCI indicator. The discussion on each indicator it can be seen the classification of the level of usefulness from KAI Access and Traveloka

Published: November 2022

Background:
The reverse-worded or negative items are often intended to reduce bias when responding to a measurement scale, but it impacts the psychometric properties of measuring instruments. The study aimed to describe the effect of the positive and negative items on the psychometric properties of the marital quality scale and to overcome the problems with a multidimensional analysis.

Methods:
Three hundred thirty-seven married people (166 men and 171 women, age = 35 years) were involved in the research. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and coefficient reliability were conducted to answer the purpose of the study.

Results:
The results showed that the loading factor of the reverse-worded items was higher when it was analyzed separately than in the mixed model. The one-dimensional model provided lower a fit measurement model and reliability estimates than the two and four-dimensional models. Confirmatory factor analysis and composite reliability by separating positive dan negative items could be an alternative analysis to resolve the problem of psychometric properties in measuring instruments with combined items.

Conclusion:
An analysis by separating the positive and negative items was a strategy to reduce the threat to the validity and reliability of the instrument.

Authors: Mahmoud Mohamed Salah El-Din , Abdel Hamid Mohamed , Moustafa Mohamed Tarek 
Published: November 2022

Background:
The study aims to evaluate the safety profile and efficacy of toric Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL) in patients with stable keratoconus after corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL).

Methods:
A prospective interventional case series study involving 30 keratoconic eyes between 22 to 39 years of age implanted with toric IPCL 6 months after CXL. The refractive error, visual acuity, corneal endothelium, intraocular pressure (IOP), and adverse effects were observed for 12 months following the implantation.

Results:
The preoperative mean for the sphere was approximately -8.3±3.6, which improved postoperatively by -0.58±0.23 after 1 month, -0.48±0.19 after 3 months, -0.36±0.18 after 6 months, and -0.35±0.2 after 12 months respectively. About the cylinder, the preoperative mean for the cylinder was approximately -3.4±1.6, which improved postoperatively by -1.06±0.3 after 1 month, -0.76±0.19 after 3 months, -0.48±0.28 after 6 months and -0.53±0.12 after 12 months, respectively. The preoperative BCDVA was 0.34±0.13, which increased postoperatively to 0.18±0.11 after 12 months. The mean values for IOP were 14.5±1.5 mm Hg, 15.1±2.09 mm Hg, 13.8±2.2 mmHg, 13.3±1.7 mm Hg, 13.1±1.6 mm Hg at preoperative period, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. The mean preoperative endothelial count was 2912.9±111.1 per square millimeter, 2854.7±113.2 cells per square millimeter after 6 months, and 2829.0±112.2 cells per square millimeter after 12 months.

Conclusions:
Toric IPCL is a safe approach for treating residual refractive errors, particularly astigmatism, after 6 months of CXL in patients with stable KCS.
What is climate change - how did we get here and where can we go?
Authors:   ARP Lipids

Published: November 2022

The presentation will give a brief overview of climate change science. Bubbles of
air, trapped in ice, show that temperatures have risen and fallen with the level of
carbon dioxide in the air for the past 800,000 years. A dramatic rise in fossil fuel use
since the 19th century has led to record levels of carbon dioxide in the air. At the
same time the average world temperature has risen by about 1° C. Further rises are
likely to disrupt weather patterns and many countries and organizations have declared
the goal of reaching 'net zero' emissions by 2050 or even sooner. The vegetable oil
industry can contribute by energy saving measures and by the use of oil in making
biofuels but the current world production of vegetable oil is only about 200 million
tonnes per year compared with over 4 billion tonnes of petroleum. Vegetable oil crops
are very efficient using only 6% of global farming land and providing not only oil but
large amounts of protein. The oil palm and soybean industries have both been criticized
for causing deforestation but their impact has been relatively small compared with some
other types of farming.

In this report, the oxidation of biomembranelipids, phospholipid (LH) and
cholesterol (ChH), was examined experimentally in the presence of vitamin E (VEH) by
using a liposome system, which is widely used as a biomembrane model. A kinetic model
was constructed by taking into account mechanisms of antioxidation and pro-oxidation by
VEH and the co-oxidation mechanisms of biomembrane lipids reported previously (Takahashi
et al., 2016). The model constants for VEH-related reactions were estimated based on the
experimental results. The model quantitatively described the concentration profiles
of LH, ChH, and VEH in biomembrane lipid oxidation under various VEH addition
conditions. The estimated values of the model constants were found to be reasonable. The
model simulation analyzed key reactions that effectively suppress biomembrane oxidation.
During the induction period in the presence of VEH, LH was consumed only by the
initiation reaction by AAPH, whereas ChH was hardly consumed, and VEH was consumed
mainly by the antioxidation of LH. Furthermore, the model simulation predicted the
oxidation behavior of the biomembrane under various oral ingestion conditions of VEH.
The results showed that ChH oxidation, which causes various diseases, could be
effectively suppressed by taking a certain dietary amount of VEH once a day to ensure
the VEH concentration in the biomembrane does not decrease. The propose kinetic approach
is a useful tool for providing an essential understanding of complicated reaction
systems, such as biomembrane oxidation.

The use of plant proteins to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions has been an
increasing trend lately. The complexity of the available plant protein ingredients,
along with the proteinsâ€™ physicochemical properties, require advanced processing that
typically leads to substantial concentrations of non-protein components in the final
isolates or concentrates. It is known that those components, such as polyphenols, phytic
acid or phospholipids, can have a strong influence on the oxidative stability of
emulsions. Thus, to understand the oxidative stability of plant protein-stabilized
emulsions, the influence of the non-protein components also needs to be considered. Many
food emulsions, such as mayonnaise or infant formula, are stabilized by not only
proteins, but also phospholipids. Such an interfacial protein-phospholipid combination
can also be found in oleosomes, natural lipid droplets which show a high oxidative
stability. This stability has been attributed to their interfacial architecture in which
oleosins and phospholipids form a tight physical barrier against pro-oxidant species.
However, while the antioxidant properties of proteins are widely reported, the
contribution of phospholipids to lipid oxidation in plant protein-based emulsions
remains underexplored. In this work, we investigated how mixed interfacial plant
proteins and phospholipids may be rationally used to control the oxidative stability of
O/W emulsions. The interfacial composition was modulated by varying the ratio between
pea proteins and sunflower phosphatidylcholine (PC) while keeping the total
concentration of pea proteins constant. Increasing the phospholipid-to-protein ratio led
to a monotonic decrease in the concentration of proteins and an increase of
phospholipids at the interface, while the oxidative stability of those O/W emulsions
changed in a non-monotonic pattern. The results were put in perspective by embedding
them in a context of reviewing the potential implications of typical components in plant
protein ingredients on lipid oxidation.
German Medical Named Entity Recognition Model and Data Set Creation Using Machine Translation and Word Alignment: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Frei Johann , Kramer Frank 
Published: November 2022

Background
Data mining in the field of medical data analysis often needs to rely solely on the processing of unstructured data to retrieve relevant data. For German natural language processing, few open medical neural named entity recognition (NER) models have been published before this work. A major issue can be attributed to the lack of German training data.

Objective
We developed a synthetic data set and a novel German medical NER model for public access to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. In order to bypass legal restrictions due to potential data leaks through model analysis, we did not make use of internal, proprietary data sets, which is a frequent veto factor for data set publication.

Methods
The underlying German data set was retrieved by translation and word alignment of a public English data set. The data set served as a foundation for model training and evaluation. For demonstration purposes, our NER model follows a simple network architecture that is designed for low computational requirements.

Results
The obtained data set consisted of 8599 sentences including 30,233 annotations. The model achieved a class frequency–averaged F1 score of 0.82 on the test set after training across 7 different NER types. Artifacts in the synthesized data set with regard to translation and alignment induced by the proposed method were exposed. The annotation performance was evaluated on an external data set and measured in comparison with an existing baseline model that has been trained on a dedicated German data set in a traditional fashion. We discussed the drop in annotation performance on an external data set for our simple NER model. Our model is publicly available.

Conclusions
We demonstrated the feasibility of obtaining a data set and training a German medical NER model by the exclusive use of public training data through our suggested method. The discussion on the limitations of our approach includes ways to further mitigate remaining problems in future work.
Conflict Concerning the Ethical and Aesthetic View of tò kalón in Xenophon’s Symposium
Authors: Chapa-Montes Paola Minerva 
Published: November 2022

The Greek term “tò kalón” has a wide variety of connotations, among which the ethical and the aesthetic aspects stand out. Scholars debate whether there is a clear separation between those two aspects, whether one subsumes the other, or more broadly what their relation is.
In this paper, I propose that Xenophon’s Symposium is a good scenario to explore the intricacies between different aspects of tò kalón. Not because the dialogue offers any deep philosophical discussion about the nature of tò kalón, but because Xenophon presents this dialogue as an illustration of tò kalón.
I shall argue that, even though it is generally agreed that tò kalón (fineness, beauty) elicits praise and commendation, experiencing or appreciating it does not necessarily lead to being able to provide its definition, just as having a definition of it does not necessarily affect our appreciation of it.

Bruises threaten the welfare of cattle because they cause pain, suffering, and stress during the pre-slaughter stage. Thus, we used meta-analyses to estimate the prevalence of carcass bruising in cattle from the American continent, determined the characteristics of the bruises, and calculated the odds ratio (OR) of risk factor categories associated with bruising. We searched electronic databases to retrieve primary studies conducted in the American continent, which reported cattle carcass bruising, analyzed the size, location, shape, and age of the bruises, and assessed risk factors for bruising. We included 46 studies from nine countries comprising 928 447 cattle carcasses with an overall prevalence of 59.5 % (95 % CI: 51.9 – 66-9) and 2.9 (range 3.4 – 7.4) bruises per carcass in average. The prevalence doubled from 30.7 % during 1991 – 2000 to 64.2 % during 2011 – 2020. Fresh, small-sized bruises of the lowest severity and located mainly in the hindquarter were highly prevalent (37.5 – 66.4 %). The removed meat due to bruising ranged 0.11 – 1.12 kg/carcass with an accumulated weight of condemned meat between 15.6 – 647 kg. Among intrinsic factors, older cattle, dairy cattle, and female cattle had greater odds of bruising (OR=1.57 – 1.98). For extrinsic factors, the odds for bruising increased 1.4 – 2.2 in cattle sourced from auction markets and exposed to poor handling, suboptimal transportation conditions, and deficient facilities. In cattle from America, bruises are a concern because their prevalence is growing and 60 % of cattle assessed in the studies suffered a bruise. Improving facilities and transportation conditions together with proper training of the personnel during the handling and transportation of the cattle will reduce bruising incidence.

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> We studied longitudinal differences between progressors and non-progressors to type 1 diabetes with similar and substantial baseline risk.</p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods:</strong> Changes in two-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) indices were used to examine variability in diabetes progression among autoantibody (Ab)+ children (<18.0 years) with similar baseline metabolic impairment [DPT-1 risk score (DPTRS) of 6.5-7.5] in the Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1; n=246) and TrialNet Pathway to Prevention studies (TNPTP; n=503), as well as Ab- children in TNPTP (n=94). </p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> Longitudinal analyses revealed annualized AUC C-peptide increases in non-progressors vs. decreases in progressors (p≤0.026 for DPT-1 and TNPTP). Vector indices for AUC glucose and AUC C-peptide changes (on a 2-dimensional grid) also differed significantly (p<0.001). Despite marked baseline metabolic impairment of non-progressors, changes in AUC C-peptide, AUC glucose, AUC C-peptide/AUC glucose, and Index60 did not differ from Ab- relatives during follow-up. Divergence between non-progressors and progressors occurred by 6 months from baseline in both cohorts [AUC glucose (p≤0.007); AUC ratio (p≤0.034); Index60 (p<0.001); vector indices of change (p<0.001)]. Differences in 6-month change were associated with greater diabetes risk (respectively, p<0.001, p≤0.019, p<0.001, p<0.001) in DPT-1 and TNPTP, except AUC ratio which was associated with less risk. </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Novel findings show that even with similarly abnormal baseline risk, progressors had appreciably more metabolic impairment than non-progressors within 6 months, and that the measures showing impairment were predictive of type 1 diabetes. Longitudinal metabolic patterns did not differ between non-progressors and Ab- relatives, suggesting persistent β-cell responsiveness in non-progressors.</p>
