Exploiting Determinism to Scale Relational Inference
Authors: Ibrahim Mohamed , Pal Christopher , Pesant Gilles 
Published: June 2022

One key challenge in statistical relational learning (SRL) is scalable inference. Unfortunately, most real-world problems in SRL have expressive models that translate into large grounded networks, representing a bottleneck for any inference method and weakening its scalability. In this paper we introduce Preference Relaxation (PR), a two-stage strategy that uses the determinism present in the underlying model to improve the scalability of relational inference. The basic idea of PR is that if the underlying model involves mandatory (i.e. hard) constraints as well as preferences (i.e. soft constraints) then it is potentially wasteful to allocate memory for all constraints in advance when performing inference. To avoid this, PR starts by relaxing preferences and performing inference with hard constraints only. It then removes variables that violate hard constraints, thereby avoiding irrelevant computations involving preferences. In addition it uses the removed variables to enlarge the evidence database. This reduces the effective size of the grounded network. Our approach is general and can be applied to various inference methods in relational domains. Experiments on real-world applications show how PR substantially scales relational inference with a minor impact on accuracy.

ABSTRAKKAJIAN RISIKO OPERASIONAL PADA PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM KEGEMPAAN REAKTOR RSG-GAS. Sistem pamantauan kegempaan yang terdapat di panel tegak Ruang Kendali Utama reaktor Serba Guna-G.A. Siwabessy berfungsi memberikan peringatan adanya kejadian gempa kepada Supervisor reaktor. Pengambilan keputusan dengan kurangnya indikator yang kurang spesifik, akan mengakibatkan beberapa dampak negatif yang didasari human eror. Hal ini didasari akibat belum adanya perangkat instrumentasi yang dapat menampilkan nilai percepatan tanah secara realtime. Sistem instrumentasi kegempaan di reaktor RSG-GAS berupa indikator lampu yang membagi alarm gempa menjadi dua tingkat, yaitu alarm “seismic recording” (level 1) dan alarm “eathquake” (level 2). Keduanya tidak dapat menghentikan operasi reaktor secara otomatis, namun berfungsi memberikan peringatan kepada Supervisor untuk mengambil keputusan melanjutkan atau menghentikan operasi reaktor. Dengan demikian diperlukan kajian (termasuk kajian risiko) untuk pengembangan sistem instrumentasi kegempaan yang lebih bermanfaat secara teknis. Kajian risiko ini melakukan identifikasi potensi hambatan yang meliputi pengenalan kegiatan dan pengenalan potensi hambatan. Melakukan penilaian risiko sesuai dengan ruang lingkup, sifat, dan waktu untuk memastikan agar bersifat proaktif dan bukan reaktif; dan identifikasi prioritas, serta aplikasi pengendalian yang sesuai. Dari penilaian risiko operasional yang dilakukan diperoleh peringkat penilaian risiko paling besar adalah 16 dan 15. Hal ini berarti peringkat penilaian risiko mempunyai predikat ‘D’ dengan risiko belum dapat diterima, sehingga perlu dilakukan tindakan pengendalian tambahan yang diprioritaskan.

Abstract
Objective
The present systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of school-based physical activity (PA) interventions of “active breaks” on PA levels, classroom behaviour, cognitive functions, and well-being in pre-adolescents and adolescents attending secondary and high school.

Methods
In March 2021, we performed a systematic research in CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, MedLine, and PsycINFO databases and through grey literature. Quality assessment was performed in accordance with the Cochrane Tool for Quality Assessment for RCTs and the STROBE tool for observational studies. We included studies that investigated classroom PA interventions led by teachers such as active breaks or physically active lessons on PA levels, classroom behaviour, cognitive function, and quality of life in pre-adolescent and adolescent population attending secondary and high school.

Synthesis
Three studies met the inclusion criteria. Two studies showed a positive effect of active breaks on students’ classroom behaviour and quality of life. One study registered a positive effect in the increase in school PA levels; unfortunately, this effect was not found in the overall levels of PA or in the reduction of sedentary behaviour. All three studies showed the feasibility and acceptability of active breaks intervention in secondary and high school settings.

Conclusion
This systematic review suggests the potential benefit of this type of intervention integrated in the secondary and high school curriculum on classroom behaviour, school PA levels, and well-being.

Syndrome of venous compression neuropathy in patients with pelvic varicose veins
Authors: Kapto A. A. 
Published: June 2022

The study objective is to investigate the pathogenesis of the development of pelvic symptoms in patients with pelvic varicose veins.Materials and methods. From 2015 to 2022, 145 men with pelvic varicose veins were examined. The examination included questioning of patients using questionnaires (scales) and instrumental methods: 1) ultrasound examination of the scrotum with color Doppler mapping; 2) transrectal ultrasound examination of the prostate and veins of the periprostatic plexus; 3) magnetic resonance imaging of the inferior vena cava and pelvic vessels or computer (multispiral) tomography of the abdominal organs with contrast; 4) phlebography of the renocaval and ileocaval segments.Results. The variant anatomy of fibrous and fibro-osseous canals (tunnels) can explain the fact that with equally pronounced expansion of the pelvic veins, some patients have pelvic symptoms due to nerve compression, while the other part does not. This concept is supported by the fact that in those patients who had complaints of pain, dysuria and erectile dysfunction, after surgical treatment of pelvic varicose veins, in most cases they disappeared or decreased.Conclusion. Pain syndrome (56.6 % of cases), erectile dysfunction (51 % of cases) and dysuria (17.9 % of cases) were noted as clinical manifestations in patients with pelvic varicose veins. Analysis of data after examination and treatment of patients with pelvic varicose veins allowed us to identify “venous compression neuropathy syndrome” as a probable cause of the development of pelvic symptoms in patients with pelvic varicose veins. Depending on the level of localization of nerve compression by varicose veins, we proposed to distinguish three forms of this syndrome: 1) thoracic, 2) lumbar, and 3) sacral form.

Published: June 2022

Introduction. Obtaining spermatozoa in azoospermic men is a relevant objective. Quantitative karyological analysis of immature germ cells (QKA IGCs) allows to characterize the progression of spermatogenesis through different meiotic stages, that present some advantages in comparison with standard semen analysis (SSA) examination and testicular biopsy.The study objective was to analyze SSA and QKA IGCs for detecting of germ cells in the ejaculate of patients with suspected azoospermia.Materials and methods. The ejaculate samples of 20 men with suspected azoospermia of various etiology (genetically determined and idiopathic male infertility) were studied. The ejaculate samples were processed in parallel by two methods, SSA performed according to the WHO laboratory manual for the examination and processing of human semen (2010) and QKA IGCs.Results. Using by the SSA, cryptozoospermia was detected in 1 (5 %) of 20 ejaculate samples. QKA IGCs revealed cryptozoospermia in 10 (50 %) samples, including 53 % of patients (with azoospermia according to SSA). The number of spermatozoa in the ejaculate sediment as a result of QKA IGСs (2.25 ± 4.22) is higher (p = 0.019; U = 113) than the number of spermatozoa as a result of the SSA – 0.25 ± 1.12.Conclusion. In patients with suspected azoospermia, the effectiveness of detecting cryptozoospermia using the QKA IGCs method is significantly (10 times) higher than the SSA. This method complements SSA and makes it possible to detect non-invasively the meiosis defects, including cases with an extremely low concentration of spermatozoa. The analysis is safe for the patient and can be performed repeatedly to track the dynamics of semen parameters.

Objective. Immunohistochemistry testicular tissue collagens evaluation in the treatment of azoospermia with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).Materials and methods. We used biopsy material of testicular fragments from 14 patients with an established diagnosis of secretory azoospermia before and after the use of PRP plus ESWT (patent granted RU2738543 from 14.12.2020). The mean age was 33.07 ± 4.64 (28–43 years), the mean duration of the disease – 4,1 ± 2,26 years (1–9 years). All participants received 2 therapy sessions per week during 6 weeks. 1st session included ultrasound-guided PRP injections into testicles and spermatic cords, finally PRP was activated with ESWT (Dornier Aries), 2nd session included ESWT per testicles and epididymis. Immunohistochemistry analysis with antibodies to collagen types I, III and IV of patient’s biopsies with azoospermia were completed on 90 days before treatment and 180 days from last PRP-injection.Results. Before PRP and ESWT therapy: type I collagen was 22.9 ± 4.2 % (p <0.05), type III collagen – 7.3 ± 2.2 % (p <0.05), type IV collagen – 21.4 ± 1.5 % (p <0.05); after combined therapy: type I collagen – 27.3 ± 5.7 % (p <0.05), type III collagen – 7.2 ± 1.5 % (p <0.05), type IV collagen – 32.2 ± 2.6 % (p <0.05).Conclusion. The production of biologically active substances against the background of PRP and ESWT therapy stimulates the collagen various types synthesis, which promotes to the restoration of the fibrous component of the blood-testicular barrier and improves spermatogenesis.

Published: June 2022

Introduction. The majority of patients who undergo radical prostatectomy, apart from loss of sexual function, note a decrease in penis size which negatively affects their self-esteem. Penile rehabilitation is a set of measures aimed at recovery of sexual function to improve the quality of life.Objective. To analyze various options for penile rehabilitation in order to choose a method for preventing penis size reduction in patients undergoing nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.Materials and methods. Patients who undergo radical prostatectomy (n = 83) at status flaccid and status erect were measured: length, circumference of the base, body and glans penis (mm) at different periods of penile rehabilitation. As a control, the tumescence coefficient was determined using pharmacodopplerography. All results were evaluated before, at the 6th and 12th months after radical prostatectomy.Results. Depending on the type of restoration of erectile function, the patients were divided into several groups: group 1 – men without penile rehabilitation; group 2 – patients treated with phosphodiesterase inhibitors of type 5; group 3 – using vacuum erection device (VED) and group 4 – taking combined penile rehabilitation. Medians of tumescence coefficient in group 1 on the 6th and 12th months was 2.7 (2.4; 3.1) and 2.6 (1.9; 2.9), in group 2 – 2.8 (2.2; 3.5) and 2.9 (2.2; 3.5), in group 3 – 2.7 (2.3; 3.3) and 2.8 (2.3; 3.3), in group 4 – 3.0 (2.2; 3.2) and 3.1 (2.1; 3.2), respectively (p <0.05).Conclusion. The determination of the tumescence coefficient in dynamics showed more significant results throughout the entire observation period. Combined penile rehabilitation is an effective method of restoring erectile function and also allows to maintain the size of the penis at all follow-up periods.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: Some patients with cancer use herbal therapy as an adjunct while receiving conventional cancer treatments. Beta-glucans have direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells as well as stimulatory effects on the immune system. In this study, a nutritional supplement containing 1,3-1,6 beta-glucan obtained from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was used by patients diagnosed with sarcoma, and this study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effect of beta-glucan use on the incidence of neutropenic fever (NF) and survival rates.
Materials and Methods: Among the patients diagnosed with sarcoma between 2014 and 2017, 27 patients who used beta-glucan were included in the beta-glucan group, and 31 patients who did not use beta-glucan were included in the control group. The clinical records of patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: The number of patients who had NF and the mean length of hospital stay due to NF were higher in the beta-glucan group than those in the control group, but the results were not statistically significant. The overall survival rates at 5 years were 83.3% and 52.9% and event-free survival rates at 5 years were 48.1% and 71% in the beta-glucan and control groups, respectively.
Conclusion: The effect of prophylactic beta-glucan use on the incidence of NF and survival rates in pediatric patients with sarcoma should be evaluated more reliably in further prospective studies on a large patient group.

Authors: ÇELİK Çaşıt Olgun , ÇIFTCI Orçun , ÖZER Nurtaç , MÜDERRİSOĞLU Haldun 
Published: June 2022

Purpose: In this study, we compared the roles of inflammatory parameters such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein/lymphocyte ratio (CLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil/platelet ratio (NPR), neutrophil/monocyte ratio (NMR), CRP/albumin ratio (CAR), BUN/albumin ratio (BAR), MELD-XI score and 4C mortality score in predicting in-hospital mortality risk in COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: A total of 117 patients over 18 years old with a PCR-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 between June 2020 and February 2021 were retrospectively included. The roles of parameters for independently predicting in-hospital mortality were determined and compared with each other using appropriate statistical methods.
Results: Age, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, acute kidney injury, and length of hospital stay, urea, creatinine, LDH, AST, ferritin, D-dimer, CRP, albumin, Hb, CLR, BAR, CAR, MELD-XI score, and 4C mortality score were significantly correlated to in-hospital mortality. However, only the 4C mortality score and AST independently predicted in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 [OR 2.08 (%95 CI 1.06-2.36), for 4C mortality score, and OR 1.05 (%95 CI 1.00-1.10), for AST].
Conclusion: Unlike other mortality-related inflammatory parameters, the 4C mortality score and AST were independent and strong predictors of mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Authors: SOYKAN SERT Zekiye , BÜLBÜL Ramazan 
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) could predict the development of preterm labor in pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: Pregnant women aged 18 years and over who presented to our clinic with spontaneous labor between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021, had intact membranes, and had a single living fetus were retrospectively evaluated. The women were divided into two groups, preterm and term delivery, according to the week of delivery. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of the women were assessed. The patients’ platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and SII (neutrophil count x platelet count/lymphocyte count) were calculated.
Results: The study included 171 women with preterm labor and 173 women with healthy term labor. The PLR, NLR, and SII values were statistically significantly higher in the preterm group than in the term group. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII (odds ratio [OR]: 3.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.21–10.07) was an independent predictor of the development of preterm labor. We found that the power of SII to predict preterm labor (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.792) was higher than that of NLR (AUC: 0.725) or PLR (AUC: 0.716) alone. SII values higher than 789.3 predicted preterm labor with 68.4% sensitivity and 81.5% specificity.
Conclusion: We found that SII was more valuable than NLR and PLR in the early detection of preterm labor. SII can help identify pregnant women at risk of developing preterm labor in the early stages of pregnancy.
Combining Deep Learning and the Source-Scanning Algorithm for Improved Seismic Monitoring

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACTIn this study, we develop an integrated framework for simultaneous detection of seismic events and picking phase arrival times, phase association, and locating earthquakes. The proposed model combines the accuracy of convolutional neural networks for classification tasks and the efficiency of waveform-based algorithms for identifying coherent seismic arrivals. We find that our model strongly dominates the classic techniques, especially in identifying small magnitude earthquakes. We apply our model to one month of continuous seismic data recorded in western Canada for monitoring seismic activity associated with fluid injection operations. In comparison with previously developed deep-learning models, our technique reveals a nearly identical performance without human interaction during the entire process of picking the phase arrival times and locating the associated events.
A Consistently Processed Strong-Motion Database for Chilean Earthquakes

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Since the 1985 M 8.0 central Chile earthquake, national strong-motion seismic networks have recorded ten megathrust earthquakes with magnitudes greater than M 7.5 at the convergent margin, defined by the contact between the Nazca and South American plates. The analysis of these earthquake records have led to improved hazard analyses and design codes for conventional and seismically protected structures. Although strong-motion baseline correction is required for a meaningful interpretation of these records, correction methods have not been applied consistently in time. The inconsistencies between correction methods have been neglected in the practical use of these records in practice. Consequently, this work aims to provide a new strong-motion database for researchers and engineers, which has been processed by traceable and consistent data processing techniques. The record database comes from three uncorrected strong motion Chilean databases. All the records are corrected using a four-step novel methodology, which detects the P-wave arrival and introduces a baseline correction based on the reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The resulting strong motion database has more than 2000 events from 1985 to the date, and it is available to download at the Simulation Based Earthquake Risk and Resilience of Interdependent Systems and Networks (SIBER-RISK) project website.
