AbstractCoproantigen immunoassays (IDEXX Fecal Dx® antigen tests) were evaluated for their ability to identify Toxocara cati and Ancylostoma tubaeforme infections in cats and Uncinaria stenocephala infection in dogs. Five cats were experimentally infected with 500 embryonated eggs of T. cati, eight cats with 500 third-stage larvae (L3) of A. tubaeforme and seven dogs with 500 L3 of U. stenocephala. In addition to the three coproantigen tests, the course of infection was monitored by a combined sedimentation-flotation method with ZnSO4 as flotation medium (specific gravity: 1.28–1.30) and a modified McMaster method in case of copromicroscopically positive samples. Eggs of T. cati were first observed between 28 and 54 days post infection (dpi) in four of the five infected cats. In these four cats, positive roundworm coproantigen signals were obtained between 16 and 44 dpi. Positive coproantigen signal always preceded egg observations, but the interval varied between 6 and 30 days. Hookworm-specific positive coproantigen signals were detected in seven of the eight A. tubaeforme infected cats between 10 and 52 dpi, while consecutive egg excretion was observed in three cats between day 26 and 54 pi. Of these three, coproantigen signal preceded egg observation by 12 to 24 days. Four cats had positive coproantigen results in the absence of egg excretion, and one cat never achieved a positive result for egg or coproantigen. In six of seven U. stenocephala infected dogs, infection was confirmed by copromicroscopy between 16 and 24 dpi as well as for hookworm coproantigen between 10 and 14 dpi. Coproantigen signal was detected prior to egg observation by 2 to 14 days. No cross-reactions between the roundworm, hookworm und whipworm tests occurred in study animals. The results of this study demonstrate the ability of the coproantigen tests to detect the common roundworm and hookworm infections in cats and U. stenocephala infections in dogs as well as the ability to detect the prepatent stage of infection.

Habit Reversal Training and Variants of Decoupling for Use in Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Moritz Steffen , Penney Danielle , Bruhns Alina , Weidinger Sarah , Schmotz Stella 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Behavioral interventions hold promise in improving body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. The effect of combining different treatment techniques is currently unknown.

Methods
In the framework of a randomized controlled crossover trial, 334 individuals with at least one BFRB were allocated either to a waitlist control or to three experimental conditions (1:1:1:1). Participants in the experimental condition received self-help manuals teaching habit reversal training (HRT), decoupling (DC) and decoupling in sensu (DC-is) during a six-week period. Treatment conditions differed only in the order of manual presentation. We examined whether applying more than one technique would lead either to add-on or interference effects.

Results
The three treatment conditions were significantly superior to the waitlist control group in the improvement of BFRBs according to intention-to-treat analyses at a medium effect size (all p ≤ 0.002, d = 0.52 – 0.54). The condition displaying DC first significantly reduced depressive symptoms (p = 0.003, d = 0.47) and improved quality of life (p = 0.011, d = 0.39) compared to the waitlist control. Those using more techniques concurrently showed the strongest decline in BFRB symptoms, even after controlling for days practiced. Participants rated all manuals favorably, with standard DC and HRT yielding greatest acceptability.

Discussion
Results tentatively suggest the concurrent application of different behavioral treatments for BFRBs leads to add-on effects. Results were superior when DC was practiced first, with positive effects extending to depressive symptoms and quality of life. Integrating the three techniques into one self-help manual or video along with other treatment procedures (e.g., stimulus control techniques) is recommended.
Ficus-mediated green synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles for adsorptive removal of malachite green from surface water
Authors: Hasan Ibrahem Mohamed Abouzeid , Salman Hassan M. A. , Hafez Olfat M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe extract of ficus leaves was used to prepare manganese (IV) oxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) for the first time. Several different analytical techniques were used to characterize the prepared MnO2 NPs. MnO2 has spherical crystals that are ~ 7 nm on average in size and have 149.68 m2/g of surface area and 0.91 cm3/g of total pore volume. Malachite green (MG) dye was then taken out of the water by adsorption using MnO2 NPs. Optimization of various adsorption parameters resulted in 188.68–277.78 mg/g maximum adsorption capacities at 298–328 K tested temperatures and 99.6% removal of 50 mg/L MG within 90 min using MnO2 dose of 0.01 g at pH 10 and 298 K. The results were tested using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, intraparticle diffusion, Elovich, and Liquid film kinetic models as well as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. The most likely models to describe the adsorption process at 298 K are pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.997) with a rate constant of 4 × 10−4 g/(mg.min) and Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.973). Additionally, the positive values of enthalpy change (3.91–67.81 kJ/mol) and the negative values of Gibb’s free energy (− 3.38 to − 19.7 kJ/mol) indicate that the process is endothermic, spontaneous, and thermodynamically feasible. MnO2 NPs sustained their adsorption efficiency at 90.4% after 5 sorption cycles. MnO2 appears to be more selective for MG in studies examining the adsorption of various cationic dyes. Lately, the biosynthesized MnO2 NPs can be utilized to remove MG from aqueous solutions effectively.

Abstract
Introduction
Surgical reports are usually written after a procedure and must often be reproduced from memory. Thus, this is an error-prone, and time-consuming task which increases the workload of physicians. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed and evaluated a software tool using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for semi-automatic intraoperative generation of surgical reports for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Materials and methods
A vocabulary of keywords for developing a neural language model was created. With an encoder-decoder-architecture, artificially coherent sentence structures, as they would be expected in general operation reports, were generated. A first set of 48 conventional operation reports were used for model training. After training, the reports were generated again and compared to those before training. Established metrics were used to measure optimization of the model objectively. A cohort of 16 physicians corrected and evaluated three randomly selected, generated reports in four categories: “quality of the generated operation reports,” “time-saving,” “clinical benefits” and “comparison with the conventional reports.” The corrections of the generated reports were counted and categorized.

Results
Objective parameters showed improvement in performance after training the language model (p < 0.001). 27.78% estimated a timesaving of 1–15 and 61.11% of 16–30 min per day. 66.66% claimed to see a clinical benefit and 61.11% a relevant workload reduction. Similarity in content between generated and conventional reports was seen by 33.33%, similarity in form by 27.78%. 66.67% would use this tool in the future. An average of 23.25 ± 12.5 corrections was needed for a subjectively appropriate surgery report.

Conclusion
The results indicate existing limitations of applying deep learning to text generation of operation reports and show a high acceptance by the physicians. By taking over this time-consuming task, the tool could reduce workload, optimize clinical workflows and improve the quality of patient care. Further training of the language model is needed.
Die Kommunikativierung der Maschinen
Authors: Dogruel Leyla , Dickel Sascha 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWith chatbots, voice assistants, and social robots oriented towards the ideal of human communication and emulating it in design and fields of application, communication studies is challenged to deal with these “communicating” technical media. In our contribution we argue that for communication science the social theoretical differences between “human” and “machines” are less relevant than the conditions that make it more likely that an attribution of communicative competences to the machine occurs. Drawing on research on mediatization, we show how communication is produced, initiated, and stabilized under contemporary conditions. We then design a model that captures different degrees of attributions of communication to the machine (“Kommunikativierung”) driven by three driving forces: (1) the decline of human control over the communication process, (2) the rise of simulation of human mediation of meaning, and (3) the discursive attribution of communication to the machine.
Chikungunya: An Emerging Public Health Concern
Authors: Mourad Omar , Makhani Leila , Chen Lin H. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Purpose of Review
The worldwide spread of chikungunya over the past two decades calls for greater knowledge and awareness of the virus, its route of transmission, methods of diagnosis, and the use of available treatment and prevention measures.

Recent Findings
Chikungunya virus infection, an Aedes mosquito-borne febrile disease, has spread from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Americas and from the tropics and subtropics to temperate regions. International travel is a pivotal influence in the emergence of chikungunya as a global public health threat, as evidenced by a growing number of published reports on travel-related chikungunya infections. The striking features of chikungunya are arthralgia and arthritis, and the disease is often mistaken for dengue. Although mortality is low, morbidity can be profound and persistent. Current treatment for chikungunya is supportive; chikungunya vaccines and therapeutics are in development. Travelers planning to visit areas where the mosquito vectors are present should be advised on preventive measures.

Summary
Chikungunya is an emerging disease in the Americas. Frequent travel, the presence of at least two competent mosquito species, and a largely naïve human population in the Western Hemisphere create a setting conducive to future outbreaks. Awareness of the disease and its manifestations is critical to effectively and safely manage and limit its impact. Vaccines in late-stage clinical trials offer a new pathway to prevention.
Involuntary Celibacy: A Review of Incel Ideology and Experiences with Dating, Rejection, and Associated Mental Health and Emotional Sequelae
Authors: Sparks Brandon , Zidenberg Alexandra M. , Olver Mark E. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Purpose of Review
Incels (involuntary celibates) have recently garnered media attention for seemingly random attacks of violence. Much attention has centered around the misogynistic and violent discourse that has taken place in online incel forums as well as manifestos written by incels who have perpetrated deadly attacks. Such work overlooks the experiences and issues faced by incels themselves, the majority of which have not engaged in any violent behavior.

Recent Findings
A small number of studies have recruited incels. Results from these studies highlight the nuanced nature of the incel identity. It is also apparent that incels suffer from high levels of romantic rejection and a greater degree of depressive and anxious symptoms, insecure attachment, fear of being single, and loneliness.

Summary
Incels report significant issues pertaining to their mental, social, and relational well-being and may seek support from forums that often feature misogynistic and violent content.

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe present a novel full hardware implementation of Streamlined NTRU Prime, with two variants: a high-speed, high-area implementation and a slower, low-area implementation. We introduce several new techniques that improve performance, including a batch inversion for key generation, a high-speed schoolbook polynomial multiplier, an NTT polynomial multiplier combined with a CRT map, a new DSP-free modular reduction method, a high-speed radix sorting module, and new encoders and decoders. With the high-speed design, we achieve the to-date fastest speeds for Streamlined NTRU Prime, with speeds of 5007, 10,989, and 64,026 cycles for encapsulation, decapsulation, and key generation, respectively, while running at 285 MHz on a Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+. The entire design uses 40,060 LUT, 26,384 flip-flops, 36.5 Bram, and 31 DSP.
Mechanical properties of additively-manufactured cellular ceramic structures: A comprehensive study
Authors: Zhang Xueqin , Zhang Keqiang , Zhang Bin , Li Ying , He Rujie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractCellular ceramic structures (CCSs) are promising candidates for structural components in aerospace and modern industry because of their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. Herein, the CCSs with different structural parameters, i.e., relative density, layer, size of unit cells, and structural configuration, were designed and prepared by digital light processing (DLP)-based additive manufacturing (AM) technology to investigate their responses under compressive loading systematically. It was demonstrated that as the relative density increased and the size of the unit cells decreased, the mechanical properties of one-layer CCSs increased. The mechanical properties of three-layer CCSs were more outstanding than those of the CCSs with one and two layers. In addition, structural configurations also played a vital role in the mechanical properties of the CCSs. Overall, the mechanical properties of the CCSs from superior to inferior were that with the structural configurations of modified body-centered cubic (MBCC), Octet, SchwarzP, IWP, and body-centered cubic (BCC). Furthermore, structural parameters also had significant impacts on the failure mode of the CCSs under compressive loading. As the relative density increased, the failure mode of the one-layer CCSs changed from parallel—vertical—inclined mode to parallel—vertical mode. It was worth noting that the size of the unit cells did not alter the failure mode. Inclined fracture took a greater proportion in the failure mode of the multi-layer CCSs. But it could be suppressed by the increased relative density. Similarly, the proportions of the parallel—vertical mode and the fracture along a specific plane always changed with the variation of the structural configurations. This study will serve as the base for investigating the mechanical properties of the CCSs.
Design Approaches, Functionalization, and Environmental and Analytical Applications of Magnetic Halloysite Nanotubes: A Review
Authors: Fizir Meriem , Liu Wei , Tang Xue , Wang Fangqi , Benmokadem Yassmine 
Published: November 2022

AbstractResearchers have long been committed to developing alternative, low-cost nanomaterials that have comparable capacity to carbon nanotubes. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally hollow, multi-walled, tubular structures that have high porosity, enlarged volumes and surface areas, and hydroxyl groups ready for modification. In addition, HNTs are non-toxic, biocompatible, inexpensive, abundant in nature, and easy to obtain. Magnetic nanocomposites have aroused widespread attention for their diverse potential applications in analytical fields and so magnetic halloysite nanotubes (MHNTs) have emerged as outstanding magnetic nano-adsorbent materials. Owing to their superparamagnetism, selective adsorption ability, and easy separation and surface modification, these captivating nanomaterials excel at extracting and enriching various analytes from environmental, biological, and food samples. The current review article gives an insight into recent advances in the design, functionalization, characterization, and application of MHNTs as magnetic, solid-phase extraction sorbents for separation of antibiotics, pesticides, proteins, carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dyes, radioactive ions, and heavy-metal ions in complex matrices.
Robust Index Selection for Stochastic Dynamic Workloads
Authors: Schlosser Rainer , Weisgut Marcel , Hübscher Leonardo , Nordemann Oliver 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFast query processing is a primary goal of modern database systems. The use of indexes is crucial to reduce the execution times of database queries. Hence, it is of great interest to determine an efficient selection of indexes for a database management system (DBMS). However, index selection problems are highly challenging as indexes cause additional memory consumption and the individual benefit of an index is influenced by the selection of others. In this paper, we consider index selection problems accounting for non-standard features, such as (i) multiple potential workloads, (ii) different risk-averse objectives, (iii) multi-index configurations, (iv) reconfiguration costs, and (v) anticipation of dynamic workload scenarios. For the different problem extensions, we propose specific model formulations, which can be solved efficiently using solver-based solution techniques. The applicability and performance of our concepts are demonstrated using reproducible synthetic workloads as well as standard TPC-H and TPC-DS-based benchmark workloads.

Abstract
Background
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United Arab Emirates; yet there is little known about the psychosocial concerns of the survivors. Research shows that meeting the psychosocial needs significantly contributes to cancer survivor’s wellbeing and potentially elevates the quality of the patient’s life. Therefore the study aims to understand the psychosocial needs of breast cancer survivors through a qualitative approach.

Methods
A qualitative study was conducted using semi structured in-depth interviews among ten breast cancer survivors. The recorded texts were coded and salient themes were generated using an inductive approach. Thematic analysis of the interviews was done observing for meaning, repeating phrases and keywords.

Results
Analysis yielded three major themes which included survivors’ living experience with breast cancer, concerns of breast cancer survivors and the survivors’ expectations of healthcare delivery or support needed. The breast cancer survivors had psychosocial concerns that are not well understood and addressed by the healthcare. The experiences, concerns and expectations differ from individuals and through the continuum of survivorship.

Conclusion
Understanding the unmet psychosocial concerns of the cancer survivors is essential to design a structured survivorship program and offer timely and effective interventions. This would improve survivorship care in the country and offers opportunities to redesign cancer services towards patient-centred care.

AbstractSpin-orbit coupling is an important ingredient to regulate the many-body physics, especially for many spin liquid candidate materials such as rare-earth magnets and Kitaev materials. The rare-earth chalcogenides "Equation missing" (Ch = O, S, Se) is a congenital frustrating system to exhibit the intrinsic landmark of spin liquid by eliminating both the site disorders between "Equation missing" and "Equation missing" ions with the big ionic size difference and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction with the perfect triangular lattice of the "Equation missing" ions. The temperature versus magnetic-field phase diagram is established by the magnetization, specific heat, and neutron-scattering measurements. Notably, the neutron diffraction spectra and the magnetization curve might provide microscopic evidence for a series of spin configuration for in-plane fields, which include the disordered spin liquid state, 120° antiferromagnet, and one-half magnetization state. Furthermore, the ground state is suggested to be a gapless spin liquid from inelastic neutron scattering, and the magnetic field adjusts the spin orbit coupling. Therefore, the strong spin-orbit coupling in the frustrated quantum magnet substantially enriches low-energy spin physics. This rare-earth family could offer a good platform for exploring the quantum spin liquid ground state and quantum magnetic transitions.
Molecular beam epitaxy growth of few-layer stanene
Authors: Zang Yunyi , Zhu Kejing , Li Lin , He Ke 
Published: November 2022

AbstractTwo-dimensional topological materials, especially quantum spin Hall insulators, have attracted enormous research interest owing to their potential for applications ranging from low-power electronics to fault-tolerant quantum computation. Stanene—the tin counterpart of graphene—is a promising candidate for room-temperature quantum spin Hall insulators, motivated by its simple atomic structure and considerable band-inversion gap. Nevertheless, one key challenge is to fabricate topological non-trivial stanene on insulating substrates. In this Perspective, we review recent developments in experimental routes to the creation of few-layer stanene films on various substrates. A quantitative comparison between these stanene films on different substrates is also presented.
