Optimizing the appearance of plant-based foods: Impact of pigment and droplet characteristics on optical properties of model oil-in-water emulsions
Authors: Wannasin Donpon , McClements David Julian 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Plant-based foods should mimic the appearance of the animal-based ones they are designed to replace, such meat, seafood, egg, milk, and their products. Each food is required to have specific optical properties, such as color and opacity, which depend on the selective absorption and scattering of light. In this study, oil-in-water emulsions containing plant-derived pigments were used as model plant-based foods. The pigments were selected to represent the three primary colors: turmeric (yellow), red beet (red), and butterfly pea flower (blue). We then investigated the impact of pigment and oil droplet characteristics on the optical properties of the model emulsions, including pigment type and concentration, and droplet size and concentration. Reflectance spectroscopy and colorimetry (L*, a*, b* values) were used to quantify the impact of these parameters on the optical properties of the emulsions. The chromaticness of the emulsions increased with increasing colorant concentration, increasing droplet size, and decreasing droplet concentration due to greater light absorption. The lightness of the emulsions increased with decreasing colorant concentration, decreasing droplet size, and increasing droplet concentration due to greater light scattering. This study provides a better understanding of the factors influencing the optical properties of plant-based foods, which could be used to optimize their appearances, thereby increasing consumer acceptance.

Abstract
Background

Nonpharmacological interventions for COVID-19 could reduce the incidence of children hospitalized in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) and the incidence of children with bacterial infections. This study aimed to evaluate changes in the bacterial profile of children in PICU before and during the COVID-19 pandemics.

Methods

The present study is a retrospective, involving clinical data of children with positive bacterial cultures admitted to the PICU respectively in 2019 and 2021.

Results

In total 652 children were included in this study. The total number of hospitalized patients and the incidence of bacteria-positive children in 2021 were lower than those in 2019. There were no significant differences in the ratio of Gram-positive bacterial infection, Gram-negative bacteria infection or fungi infection between the two years. The rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae in 2021 was higher than that in 2019(p = 0.127). The incidence of Haemophilus influenzae in hospitalized patients decreased with a downward trend(p = 0.002).The distribution of previous underlying diseases in children admitted to PICU with different outcomes of bacterial infection between the two years were homogeneous (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

After the implementation of COVID-19 isolation, prevention and control measures, the number of hospitalizations and bacterial infections in PICU decreased, which may be due to changes in population's behavior patterns. Meanwhile, the incidence of Haemophilus influenzae in hospitalized patients decreased with a downward trend.

Viscosity Iteration Technique involving an inertial extrapolation for Monotone Inclusion Problems Using Forward-Backward Splitting Methods
Authors: Nwawuru Francis 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and study a modified forward-backward splitting method for finding a zero in the sum of two monotone operators in real Hilbert spaces. Our proposed method only requires one forward evaluation of the single-valued operator and one backward evaluation of the set-valued operator per iteration. This is an improvement over many others in literature with strongly convergent splitting methods with two forwards and a backward iteration. Furthermore, we also incorporate inertial term in our scheme to speed up the rate of convergence. We obtain a strong convergence result when the set-valued operator is maximal monotone and the single-valued operator is Lipschitz continuous monotone which is weaker assumption than being inverse strongly monotone or cocoercive.

How the rise of trucks has reduced traffic throughput
Authors: Gao Yang , Levinson David 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

This paper collects the morning peak period data of 564 loop detector stations across the Minneapolis-St. Paul freeway network from all workdays of 1995-2019. Stations that repeatedly meet saturation conditions are chosen using fundamental diagrams (FDs) to determine the change in the throughput capacity of the entire network over 25 years. Network throughput drops from approximately 1850 veh/lane/hr in 1995 to approximately 1600 veh/lane/hr in 2019. By connecting motor vehicles type and traffic levels at permanent classification stations, we determine the increase in the number of trucks is in part responsible for the decrease in throughput capacity.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly grown recently, and mobile devices (MDs) have encountered widespread usage. All of these cause an increase in the demand for more powerful computing resources. Meanwhile, a new concept called mobile edge computing (MEC) was introduced as a promising technology to access powerful computing resources closer to the user side for a quick and effective response, especially for time-intensive applications. Task offloading has emerged as a solution to allocate resources among computing resources of smart devices or computational resources available in MEC. This study presents a new binary quantum approach based on an arithmetic optimization algorithm (BQAOA) for computational tasks offloading decisions on MDs with low complexity and guaranteed convergence. However, since task offloading is an NP-hard problem, there is a need to use methods that provide the optimal possible solution for various quality criteria, including response time and energy consumption. Indeed, this is where the advantages of arithmetic optimization algorithms (AOA) and quantum computing have been used to improve the performance of MDs. This paper introduces a 2-tier architecture from the user to the cloud computing server-side. Also, a Markov model is proposed to compute the average network bandwidth in the offloading problem. The proposed BQAOA is compared with the best state-of-the-art algorithms in heuristic and meta-heuristic fields in different scenarios. The simulation results showed 12.5%, 12%, and 26% improvement in energy consumption, makespan, and Energy SLA Violations (ESV) optimization parameters, respectively.

Abstract
Purpose
Insulinomas are rare, functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN), whose gold standard therapy is surgical resection. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is a recent technique that has emerged as minimally invasive therapeutic option for patients with pancreatic lesions not eligible for surgery. In this study, we aimed to describe a series of patients with unresectable pancreatic insulinoma treated with EUS-RFA.
Methods
This is a single-center, retrospective study including all consecutive patients with functioning pancreatic insulinoma undergoing EUS-RFA for surgical unfitness or surgery refusal, between March 2017 and September 2021. Technical success, radiologic response, and adverse events rate were evaluated.
Results
A total of 10 patients (mean age: 67.1 ± 10.1 years; F:M 7:3) were enrolled. The mean size of insulinoma was 11.9 ± 3.3 mm. Technical success was achieved in 100% of patients, with an immediate normalization of serum glucose levels. Only one (10%) patient was successfully treated with two RFA sessions. The complete radiologic response within 3 months after EUS-RFA was observed in all patients (100%). Persistent euglycemia was assessed at 6 and 12 months for each treated patient. Three procedure-related early adverse events occurred, including two (20%) cases of mild abdominal pain, and one (10%) case of intraprocedural bleeding with spontaneous hemostasis. No major complications were observed within 48 hours after the procedure.
Conclusions
Data of this case series suggest that EUS-RFA is a feasible and safe therapeutic approach for unresectable pancreatic insulinomas with long-term efficacy.
OMGD-StarGAN: Improvements to boost StarGAN v2 performance
Authors: Li Rui , Gu Jintao 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
A good image editing model should learn to map relationships between styles from different domains, meet the high quality and diversity of the generated images, and be highly scalable across different domains. Also, given the importance of multi-device deployment, especially model deployment on lightweight devices, lightweight optimization of the model is an essential and critical task. Based on these key points, a new approach to optimize and improve the existing base model, namely OMGD-StarGAN, is proposed by combining the PatchGAN discriminator and DynamicD dynamic training strategy, ResNet style generator, and modulated convolution. A variety of experiments are compared, and the experimental results show that the proposed model reduces the computational cost while improving the quality and diversity of the generated images.
Threshold-Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme with Proactive Property for Secure Data Sharing on Cloud

Abstract
Cloud based data sharing addresses the limited storage availability problem for resource-constrained users. However, most of the techniques for secure data sharing with high access control are computationally intensive. Proxy re-encryption technique is computationally light and provides secure and efficient cloud based data sharing. However, proxy re-encryption has a single semi-trust proxy for all intermediate re-encryption processes which makes it a single point of failure and vulnerable to several attacks. We propose a threshold proxy re-encryption with the proactive property. The shares of re-encryption keys are sent to all proxies using shamir secret sharing. The shares may get leaked with passage of time or when any proxy leaves or joins the network, then, secret needs to be changed every time. The proactive property in threshold proxy re-encryption helps renew the shares without changing the secret. PB-TPRE scheme is collusion resistant against the proxies, users ,and cloud. We present a concrete construction for PB-TPRE that satisfies indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attacks with a random oracle model and formally proves its security. We compared and discussed PB-TPRE scheme with other threshold proxy re-encryption schemes and found it to be efficient and secure for cloud based data sharing applications

Abstract
Introduction: Postoperative pain is common and occurs frequently in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, which can lead to adverse events. Therefore, it is critical that assessment and adequate analgesia are performed to avoid compromising the recovery process. It is recommended that multimodal therapy be used for this purpose, as it promotes better analgesia. Therefore, the aim of this study is to search for studies that address the efficacy of nonpharmacological methods for pain relief in these patients.
Methods: This study used a PRISMA-compliant systematic literature review that selected primary randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of nonpharmacological pain relief therapies in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Searches were conducted in PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, the Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, with no time or language restrictions. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomized Clinical Trials was used to assess methodological rigor.
Results: After screening, 23 of the 140 studies found in the databases were selected. The studies examined the efficacy of thirteen different nonpharmacological therapies, as well as a combination of therapies, with massage therapy being the most commonly examined, followed by musical intervention and hypnosis.
Conclusions: Some interventions, when combined with pharmacological therapy, were effective in relieving postoperative pain after cardiac surgeries, according to the studies analyzed. However, most studies had significant methodological flaws, and further studies with high methodological quality are needed.
Systematic review registration: The present study is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42020168681.

Published: November 2022

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various areas, including the education sector, which has led to use of various alternatives, such as online learning platform, requiring undergraduate students' adjustment to academic conditions. Therefore, this study aims to assess the academic adjustment of undergraduate students and the social support from parents and lecturers, as well as peer support.

Methods:
A cross-sectional quantitative approach was used, while the data were obtained through surveys using an online adjustment measurement scale and self-report questionnaires to measure social support. The surveys were distributed through various online platforms, including Instagram, LINE, WhatsApp, and among lecturers in several universities in Indonesia, to be filled by registered undergraduate students learning from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 299 participants, with males being 93 and females 206 having a mean age of 19.76 years, spread across several provinces in Indonesia, were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The IBM SPSS Statistic version 24.0 was used to calculate the correlation between variables using Pearson correlation, and the analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis.

Results:
The results showed parent involvement and lecturer support to have a significant impact on academic adjustment, while peer support did not prove to have a significant impact (R2=0.120, p<0.01). Furthermore, the impact of social support on the dimensions of academic adjustment comprising lifestyle, achievement, and motivation was also evaluated. Based on the results, only lecturer support plays a significant positive role in the academic lifestyle dimension. In academic achievement, parent involvement and lecturer support exhibit a positively significant role, while only parent involvement significantly affects academic motivation. Among the three dimensions, only peer support has no significant impact.

Conclusion:
The results imply that the success of undergraduate students in academic adjustment during the COVID-19 pandemic can be facilitated by parental involvement and lecturer support.

Published: November 2022

Objective:
This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of acute postoperative pain after emergency abdominal surgery in the first 24 postoperative hours among adult patients.

Methods:
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from March 1 to May 30, 2020. Data were collected by delivering questionnaires through interviews and reviewing the patients’ charts. Data were entered into Epi Info software, version 7.2, and analyzed by SPSS version 20. Logistic regression was applied to point out independent risk factors for postoperative acute pain. Variables with a p-value of < 0.05 were taken as significant.

Results:
165 patients participated in the study with a response rate of 98.2%. Among these, 75.8% [95% CI: (69.8%, 82.3%)] of patients experienced moderate to severe acute postoperative pain. Female gender [AOR:3.9, 95%CI: (1.22,12.5)], preoperative anxiety[AOR:4.4,95%CI:(1.74,11.1)],moderate to severe preoperative pain[AOR:5.79,95%CI:(2.08,16.1)], and incision length ≥10cms [AOR: 4.86, 95%(CI:1.88,12.5)], were significantly associated with moderate to severe acute postoperative pain.

Conclusions and Recommendations:
The prevalence of immediate postoperative pain following emergency abdominal surgery was found to be high in this study. Acute postoperative pain was substantially linked to the female sex, preoperative anxiety, preoperative pain, and an incision length of ≥10 cm. The prevalence of moderate-to-severe acute postoperative pain as well as the factors that contribute to it can be used to develop particular preventive strategies to reduce patient suffering.

Published: November 2022

Abstract Indonesia has a biodiversity in fauna and one of them is the rat. The methodology to identify animal character is mostly based on morphological structure, the example of body lenght and hair color. However, reproductive organs of every species are diferent in location, shape, color and weight. Paruromys dominator is one of rats species in Sulawesi. Although, many informations about the rat's morphology is already provided , but no data about reproductive organ reported yet. Knowing, identifying and understanding the reproductive organs in that species must be done by sampling reproductive organs and measure all of them,. All of the reproductive organs were then collected for anatomical sample and processed for histological staining and were analyzed with light microscope and SEM. Based on the present study, Paruromys dominator has reproductive organs which are like other murids, namely seminal vesicle, testis, prostat glands, Cowper's glans and glans penis. There is no diference about histological stucture of rat's testis with other rats species, but based on the result of SEM, the penis has many penile spines. The sperm head is hook shape, it is like Rattus norvegicus. The average of head length and tail lenght of sperm are 1,28±0,101 μm and 12,95±1,139 μm, respectively.

Archival activism is a concept about archivists' awareness of the social power of archives to create social justice. The writing of this article should describe the application of a concept of archival activism in diversity practices that actively document communities that are traditionally marginalized from historical narratives and complicated by the desire to remain autonomous so that they often lack trust due to exceptions in the past which then come to the fore in the development of education and science in Indonesia. The data were analyzed using archival activism and related to the acceptability of aspirational theory. The data analysis technique is in the form of inductive analysis which starts from the data found to produce conclusions that can be in the form of categorization or propositions. The results of the analysis show that there are closures and marginalizations of community archives analyzed, such as the presence of Prostitute who were initially considered an immoral transformed as one of the revolutions for Indonesian independence; bissu, which is considered a transvestite, turns out to be complex and dignified when compared to gender status in Thailand as described in the epic I La Galigo; Towani Tolotang community, whose condition with bissu was long ago identified as a community forced to choose a religion for population purposes, however in its resistance promoted formal politics not to incorporate elements of religion stipulated by law into their worship practices. Then these three communities showed preventive archives that could be used as a collective memory for education and science, thus placing this document as an archive that was initially inactive but turned into statically active. Thus the public will get information that provides more understanding for accountable interests so that the archive is static secondary.
