Abstract
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a common feature among adolescents with mood disorders. Although childhood maltreatment has shown to be associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), previous studies have yielded mixed results in terms of different subtypes of childhood maltreatment and only few studies have investigated the effects of gender. The present cross-sectional study investigated effects of different types of childhood maltreatment on NSSI, as well as the role of gender in these effects.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 142 Chinese adolescent inpatients with mood disorders (37 males and 105 females) were consecutively recruited within a psychiatric hospital. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Participants were administered the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation (FASM).
Results: 76.8% of the sample reported engaging NSSI in the previous 12 months. Female participants were more likely to engage in NSSI than males (p<0.001). Participants in the NSSI group reported significantly more experiences of emotional abuse(p<0.001) and emotional neglect(p=0.005). With regards to gender differences, female participants who have experienced emotional abuse were more likely to engage in NSSI (p=0.03).
Conclusion: As a whole, NSSI represents a frequent phenomenon among adolescent clinical populations and females were more likely to engage in NSSI than males. NSSI was significantly related to experiences of childhood maltreatment and specifically related to emotional abuse and emotional neglect over and above other types of childhood maltreatment. Females were more sensitive to emotional abuse than males. Our study highlights the importance of screening for subtypes of childhood maltreatment as well as considering the effects of gender.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

This paper studies multigenerational health transmission mechanisms in Australian panel data. Using inequality-of-opportunity (IOP) models, we demonstrate that grandparental socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of personal health, even after controlling for health and SES at the parental level. Our findings hold over a range of health/biomarkers of individuals’ physical and mental well-being and appear to be especially sensitive to educational outcomes on the father’s side. Since ingrained socioeconomic (dis)advantages that persist over multiple generations may be indicative of social class, our results suggest that subtle attitudinal and behavioural characteristics associated with this variable may be a key factor driving health disparities.

Abstract
Background
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the subjective perception of a decline in cognition and is recognized as the earliest symptomatic manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Detection and treatment strategies for SCD are urgently needed to slow or halt AD progression.
Methods
Fifty-four participants were included. Electroencephalography (EEG) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were applied.
Results
SCD showed a decreased power spectrum, enhanced functional connectivity (FC), and increased global and local network topological features mostly restricted to the β band. 10 Hz rTMS significantly improved cognition in SCD by acting on the FC feature. The interaction between the four EEG features contributed to the detection of disease progression and prediction of rTMS modulations with an adjusted R2 of 0.856 and an accuracy of 77.8%.
Conclusions
EEG-based features may be considered as the earliest biomarkers of AD. rTMS significantly mitigate cognitive function in SCD may through modulating FC.

Abstract
Diffusion tensor imaging is a promising technique for assessing abnormalities in the spinal cord. We aimed to explore the imaging features of diffusion tensor tractography in patients with cervical intraspinal tumor and examine its relationship with spinal cord function and prognosis. Twenty-four patients undergoing surgical removal of cervical intraspinal tumor between February 2014 and April 2015 were enrolled. Diffusion tensor imaging data of the cervical spinal cord were collected three days pre-operatively. Tractography analyses were used to classify the fiber tracts in the cervical spine into an intact form (including fiber tract displacement caused by compression and pressure of the tumor), and a disrupted form (including partial and complete disruption).
McCormick grading of the spinal cord function was compared between the intact and the disrupted form pre-and post-operatively. McCormick grade of the disrupted form was higher than that of the intact form. Prognosis of the spinal cord function one month postoperatively in patients with intact form were significantly better than those with disrupted form. Diffusion tensor tractography is a promising tool for the prognostic and to guide therapy in patients with cervical intraspinal tumors.

Abstract
Chemical flooding agents, especially surfactant-based flooding oil agents, have been widely studied due to its excellent emulsification ability. Nevertheless, there are many evaluation methods for chemical flooding agents, and the focus of each test is different. How to combine routine testing with reservoir conditions is an urgent problem to be solved. In this study, different kinds of chemical flooding agents were evaluated by interfacial tension (IFT), minimum emulsification speed, emulsification state, droplet size distribution, viscoelasticity, apparent viscosity in porous media, stability and flooding efficiency. The influence of their characteristics on pressure dynamics during flooding process is analyzed, and the mechanism in different stages of chemical flooding is clarified. It should to comprehensively IFT and minimum emulsification speed to judge the emulsification ability of chemical flooding agent. Apparent viscosity when it flows porous media is more accurate to evaluate the viscosity reducing of chemical flooding agents than traditional viscosity test. Chemical flooding dynamics are mainly divided into three stages: pressure increase (emulsification ability), pressure decrease (fluidity of formed O/W emulsion) and pressure stabilization (flooding efficiency). Emulsification ability of chemical flooding agent determines the speed of pressure increase and the width of main flow channel. O/W emulsion formation, droplet size, and fluidity determine oil flooding/enhanced oil recovery effect. Droplet size, viscoelasticity and stability of O/W emulsion determine the value of maximum pressure and its decrease speed at middle stage. Therefore, the evaluation of chemical flooding agents should mainly consider its emulsification ability and formed O/W emulsion droplet size, viscoelasticity, stability. This study clarified the evaluation focus of chemical flooding, and laid a foundation for the research and development and screening of chemical flooding agent, dynamic analysis of chemical flooding.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The work aims to determine the moment in time (bifurcation points) when the parameters of temporal trends (both in sign and in speed) change. These parameters describe changes in average annual temperatures and annual precipitation amounts. A linear mathematical model is used to determine the indicated points in time; with the help of such model, each time series of average annual temperatures or annual precipitation amounts (obtained at 11 meteorological stations for 1960–2020) is replaced by one or more segments, and the joining points of these segments indicate the moments when the parameters of the time trend change. The research revealed that if the general trend in the average annual temperature change is increase, the approach used revealed the moments when the dynamics changed both in sign and in speed. For instance, according to the data of Sochi meteorological station, there was a drop in the mean annual temperatures in 1960–1993, and a steady increase in 1994–2020. The nature of the temporal variability of annual precipitation amounts turned out to be more complex. Calculating the position of bifurcation points allows determining the onset of climatic changes in a particular region, and the updated values of the time trend parameters allow accessing the trend of changes in average annual temperatures and annual precipitation amounts in the short term.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper extends inertial forward-backward-forward splitting method already studied by several authors for solving convex variational inequalities to solving non-convex mixed variational inequalities and obtain appropriate convergence results under some conditions. Another contribution is the addition of two-step inertial extrapolation to the forward-backward-forward splitting method to further accelerate the speed of convergence of the method instead of the one-step inertial forward-backward-forward splitting method already studied for convex variational inequalities in the literature. Numerical illustrations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Abstract
Studies have shown that miR-21 is abnormally expressed in breast cancer patients, implying that miR-21 could be used as a potential marker for clinical applications. In this study, we explore the diagnostic value of miR-21 in breast cancer, with the aim of providing evidence-based clinical evidence.All relevant English literature from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Scopus databases were searched since inception to 23 January 2022, and 9 articles were screed for inclusion. QUADAS-2 for literature quality assessment, GRADE for evidence grading. Statistical analyses were performed using the R 4.0.1 and Revman 5.3. The results were validated using Stata 15.1 software. Subgroup analysis was also performed according to the source of miR-21 and miR-21 combinations. All of the included studies are of moderate-high quality. This meta-analysis calculated a combined sensitivity of 0.91 [95% CI (0.86, 0.95)], a combined specificity of 0.85 [95% CI (0.77, 0.91)],DOR of 56.62 [ 95% CI (21.00, 184.83)], NLR of 0.11 [95% CI ( 0.05, 0.18)] and PLR of 6.35 [95% CI( 3.66, 11.16)]; miR-21 GRADE classification A is recommended.The current evidence suggests that miR-21 shows satisfactory diagnostic value as a biomarker for breast cancer; miR-21 in combination with multiple miRNAs will further improve diagnostic accuracy.
The delta invariant and the various GIT-stability notions of toric Fano varieties
Authors: Yotsutani Naoto 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we provide purely combinatorial proofs of the following two theorems:
(1) If a Gorenstein toric Fano variety is asymptotically Chow semistable then it is Ding polystable with respect to toric test configurations.
(2) For a smooth toric Fano variety X, the delta invariant δ(X) defined in [FO18] coincides with the greatest Ricci lower curvature R(X).
Although it seems that these statements are known to the experts, our combinatorial proofs given here are more direct and elementary approach than the original sources [Ber16, BJ17]. We further verify relative Chow stability for Gorenstein toric del Pezzo surfaces using the combinatorial criterion developed in [YZ19] and specifying the symmetry of the associated polytopes as well. We also clarify the reductivity of automorphism group of toric Fano 3-folds by computing the set of Demazure roots for each. All the results are listed in Table 3 with the values of δ(X) and R(X).

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: Chronic exposure to petroleum products’ ingredients, such as basic chemicals, additives, and pollutants, can affect the hematological system and liver. Automobile repair shop mechanics are a group of people who are constantly exposed to petroleum products. In Afghanistan, children labor alongside adults in automobile repair shops. Therefore, we aimed to find the effect of these products on the hematological system and liver function of children and adults at automobile repair shops in Kabul city of Afghanistan.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, individuals who worked in automobile-repair shops in Kabul, Afghanistan, were compared to healthy control groups in two age categories: adults (≥18 years old), and children (<18 years old). Hematological tests for blood indices and biochemical studies for liver function were done. Based on the normal or abnormal distribution of data, the central tendencies of exposed and control groups were compared using the Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test respectively.
Results: Only MCV was significantly different between adults exposed and control groups in terms of blood indices. MCH, MCV, MID, MPV, PLC, PDW, and Neut/Lym ratios differed significantly between exposed and control groups in children. Albumin and globulin levels in adults, and albumin and AST levels in children were significantly different between the exposed and control groups in terms of liver function tests.
Conclusion: Children are more affected by occupational exposure to petroleum products than adults.
Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Related Peak Discharge Analysis for Tugu Dam Disaster Risk Mitigation
Authors: Ansori Mohamad Bagus 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper presents peak discharge numerical modeling of the Keser watershed for disaster risk mitigation and water resources management for an emergency action plan (EAP) for the Tugu dam. Several formulations for calculating peak discharge associated with the information on flood design in Indonesia are regulated in SNI 2415:2016 regarding the procedure of flood discharge calculation and design. This information on peak discharge/flood design is important and related to water structure dimensions, risk, costs, and reliability. The complexity of watershed conditions affects the hydrograph shape and volume, therefore this hydrograph performance analysis is needed to identify the best model of the current synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH). In this study, the performance of Nakayasu, Gamma 1, and Snyder synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) will be analyzed and compared with the numerical modeling using the Hec-Ras 2D hydrodynamics model and observed data in the Keser watershed. The observed peak discharge data obtained 2.95 m3/s that occurred by precipitation unit (1 mm). From the calculation results, the peak discharge value using the Nakayasu method is 3,379 m3/s, while the Gamma 1 and Snyder methods obtained 3,276 and 3,158 m3/s. The results of the numerical model with Hec-Ras 2D v6.3 obtained a peak discharge hydrograph value of 3.019 m3/s. Thus, from the three SUH formulas and Hec-Ras calculations, the closest approach to the observed data results is the Hec-Ras 2D v6.3 with a peak discharge error of 2.36%.
Trust based Security Protocol to mitigate black hole Attacks in Mobile Adhoc Networks
Authors: Kaur Arshdeep , Kaur Jaspreet 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Communication between mobile nodes occurs in mobile ad hoc networks without a centralized control system. The mobility of a node in this environment is unpredictable; this is a feature of wireless networks. The network is subject to routing misbehaviour and attacks as a result of defective or malicious nodes. Active attacks are the most harmful for networks because they raise the risk of information loss. The focus of this research is on the Black Hole Attack. This assault degrades the MANETs' performance to the point where regaining control becomes the most difficult task. Several researchers previously worked to combat these assaults, but the problem persists, compromising the network with numerous dangers. Most suggested security methods have not been tested on huge amounts of traffic, attacker nodes, or congestion, which increases the complexity of communication and necessitates the development of preventative techniques. As a result, in this paper, a trust-based security protocol is proposed. The trust parameters, which are derived based on two factors: (i) Current Energy and (ii) Packed Drop Count of a node, are used to choose IDS. The selected IDS node assists the source node in selecting a data transmission path and then monitoring that route until the transmission is complete. The impact of each scenario is computed using PDR, NRL, and PLR, and the performance of this proposed protocol is tested using three distinct scenarios with varied numbers of attackers, mobility, and nodes. In order to assess the effectiveness of this work, a grey hole attack is used. The average PDR is 97.7%, the NRL is 1.157, and the PLR is 2.22%, which is higher than other current protocols such as Reputation Value and AODV. In this work, a comparison is conducted for each scenario, and it is noticed that increasing the number of attackers and mobility decreases performance, but increasing the number of nodes increases the possibility of more alternative pathways. All of the calculations demonstrate that the proposed protocol outperforms other current protocols, achieving the intended result.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Pectin/Fe3O4/Bentonite nanocomposite hydrogel. Then this nano adsorbent was used to remove heavy metals (Pb2+, Cu2+, and Ca2+) from aqueous solutions. The percentage of adsorption efficiency for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ by 30 mg of adsorbent during 60 minutes and concentration of 200 ppm was 91.5%, 89.5%, and 85%, respectively. At the concentration of 250 ppm, it is 87.2%, 86%, and 80.4%, respectively, and in the concentration of 300ppm, it is 78.66%, 77.33%, and 69%, respectively. In the continuation of the experiment, the optimal conditions for removing heavy metals with nanocomposite under laboratory conditions, pH = 7, contact time of 60 minutes, the concentration of 250 ppm, and adsorbent mass of 0.03 g were carried out. Because the concentration of 250 ppm was considered the average of the other two concentrations. The results of the adsorption isotherm studies exhibit a good fit of the data with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm compared to Freundlich and Temkin models. The collected kinetic and thermodynamics data illustrated that the pseudo-second-order equations, the spontaneous process and endothermic, control the adsorption process.

Abstract
Purpose
Learning anatomy in traditional and modern procedures is based on three-dimension visualization and spatial ability. Hands-on learning in undergraduate students promote learning and increases their skills. Therefore, for enhancing the anatomical concept and ability of students` skills, the undergraduate medical students create and print 3D anatomical models.
Methods
67 medical students participated, forming two groups. The experimental group created handmade models of the gastrointestinal system and the control group received routine lectures and practical lessons in our anatomy laboratory. They were asked to fill in the motivation questionnaire at the onset of the project as a pretest, after six months, as a posttest and for one year as a follow-up. The anatomy scores and general opinion of anatomy classes were evaluated. Different criteria were designed for evaluating handmade models, scanned, selected models and final three-dimension prints.
Results
The results indicated significant differences in posttests of performance goals. Anatomy scores of the gastrointestinal subject were higher for the students who prepared models for some gastrointestinal subjects. Students’ opinion of general anatomy classes where handmade models were used show that not only did they find classes more interesting and enjoyable, but the visualization also enhanced their learning ability and was more effective than lectures.
Conclusion
It was concluded that practical handmade model activities enhance three-dimension visualization in undergraduate students’ spatial ability for learning anatomy.
