Authors: Guzelkas Ismail , Orbak Zerrin , Doneray Hakan , Ozturk Nurinnisa , Sagsoz Nevin 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by ovarian dysfunction, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. Its pathogenesis is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between kisspeptin, leptin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and neurokinin B (NKB) levels for evaluating the pathogenesis of PCOS.

Methods
Levels of these parameters were analyzed in 20 patients with PCOS, and 16 healthy adolescents.

Results
Serum NPY levels were significantly higher in the obese and non-obese PCOS group (p<0.01). There was a negative correlation between the kisspeptin and the NKB levels (p<0.01) in the PCOS group but not in the control group. This negative correlation was also found in both PCOS groups (p<0.01). In the obese PCOS group, serum kisspeptin levels were significantly lower than the control and non-obese PCOS groups (p<0.05) although serum leptin and NPY levels were significantly higher in the obese PCOS group (p<0.01).

Conclusions
The high NPY levels in both obese and non-obese patients with PCOS indicate that NPY plays a role in the pathogenesis independently from obesity. Significantly high leptin and low kisspeptin levels in the obese PCOS group suggested that they may be associated with obesity rather than PCOS.
Selectives (“topic markers”) on subordinate clauses
Authors: Wälchli Bernhard 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This typological study based on data from a parallel text corpus is a two-step investigation of selectives (“topic markers”). First, a set of selectives in 81 languages from all continents is compiled on the basis of their occurrence with emphatic personal pronouns in contrast constructions. In a second step, it is explored how this set of markers is used across 19 subordinate clause domains. The results indicate that, despite much crosslinguistic diversity, the distribution of selectives across subordinate clauses is strongly constrained. Selectives in subordinate clauses are distributed following a tendency scale (no strict hierarchy, but no blatant exceptions): general relative clauses rank highest followed by conditional and temporal clauses with concessive and purpose clauses ranking lowest. No postposed subordinate clauses attract selectives. It is further found that selectives tend to occur at the end of the constituent which they have scope over where there is minimal risk of scope ambiguity. Despite the frequent occurrence of selectives on conditional clauses, selectives tend not to be conditional connectives unless this happens to be their grammaticalization source.

Abstract
The synergy between topology and non-Hermiticity in photonics holds immense potential for next-generation optical devices that are robust against defects. However, most demonstrations of non-Hermitian and topological photonics have been limited to super-wavelength scales due to increased radiative losses at the deep-subwavelength scale. By carefully designing radiative losses at the nanoscale, we demonstrate a non-Hermitian plasmonic–dielectric metasurface in the visible with non-trivial topology. The metasurface is based on a fourth order passive parity-time symmetric system. The designed device exhibits an exceptional concentric ring in its momentum space and is described by a Hamiltonian with a non-Hermitian

topological invariant of V = −1. Fabricated devices are characterized using Fourier-space imaging for single-shot k-space measurements. Our results demonstrate a way to combine topology and non-Hermitian nanophotonics for designing robust devices with novel functionalities.
A Review of Internet-Based Communication Research in China
Authors: Hu Yong , Chen Lei 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Since China officially gained access to the Internet in 1994, Internet-based communication has gradually become the dominant form of communication within Chinese society and between China and the international community. Understanding the Internet and its impact on China is not only a key to understanding modern China and its relationship with the world, but also a powerful complement to the classical topics of communication and an indispensable observation on new developments. Combing through the transformation of Internet-based communication research in China, this paper summarizes the achievements in five key areas, reflects on the failures, and makes a call to return to the core relationship between communication and people.
Synthesis design using mass related metrics, environmental metrics, and health metrics
Authors: Eissen Marco 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe efforts to integrate environmental aspects, health aspects as well as safety aspects into chemical production has led to the development of measurable and thus objectifying metrics. The application of these metrics is considered to be most promising, especially during the earliest phases of synthesis design. However, the operability in daily work suffers from the lack of available data, or a large variety of data, and the complexity of data processing. If a life cycle assessment is not practical in the early development phase, environmental factor and process mass intensity can give a quick and reliable overview. I will show that this often says the same in advance as a subsequently prepared life cycle assessment. Readers will realise that, based on preparative descriptions, they can quickly determine these metrics for individual syntheses or extensive synthesis sequences applying the available software support. Environmental relevance in terms of persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) can be presented using a modification of the European ranking method ‘DART’ (Decision Analysis by Ranking Techniques). Based on corresponding PBT data, readers can determine a hazard score between 0 and 1 for any substance using the spreadsheet file provided, with which the mass of (potentially emitted) substances can be weighted. Occupational health can be represented using a modification of the recognized ‘Stoffenmanager’. Both concepts are presented and spreadsheet files are offered. This article is based on a presentation which was given at the Green Chemistry Postgraduate Summer School in Venice, 6th–10thJuly 2020.
Exercise to spot the differences: a framework for the effect of exercise on hippocampal pattern separation in humans
Authors: Jennen Lise , Mazereel Victor , Lecei Aleksandra , Samaey Celine , Vancampfort Davy , van Winkel Ruud 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Exercise has a beneficial effect on mental health and cognitive functioning, but the exact underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this review, we focus on the effect of exercise on hippocampal pattern separation, which is a key component of episodic memory. Research has associated exercise with improvements in pattern separation. We propose an integrated framework mechanistically explaining this relationship. The framework is divided into three pathways, describing the pro-neuroplastic, anti-inflammatory and hormonal effects of exercise. The pathways are heavily intertwined and may result in functional and structural changes in the hippocampus. These changes can ultimately affect pattern separation through direct and indirect connections. The proposed framework might guide future research on the effect of exercise on pattern separation in the hippocampus.

What Drives Mobile Banking Adoption? – An Empirical Investigation Using Transaction Data
Authors: Becker Michel , Stolper Oscar , Walter Andreas 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This paper examines drivers of mobile banking adoption by analyzing large-scale transaction data of retail banking clients. We find that the overall demand for financial services is associated with faster mobile banking adoption. Moreover, customers who already use online banking services and show digital skills in their payment behavior, tend to adopt mobile banking faster. Also, adoption rates are higher among the young. Finally, the well-documented gender gap in mobile banking adoption appears to have vanished in recent years: towards the end of our period under review, men and women adopt mobile banking equally. Our results contribute to the literature by addressing novel research questions regarding the fastest growing banking channel. Moreover, our findings carry important managerial implications as they help bank managers in the customer segmentation process and the promotion of mobile banking services.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND
Pathogen inactivated (PI) platelets are a technological advancement in blood safety; however, the pediatric experience is not well characterized. We studied pediatric patients who received transfusions of PI platelets across several centers and countries to determine if transfusion reaction rates differed when compared with conventional platelets.

METHODS
This is a retrospective multisite study conducted during 2 time periods. The study period started at the time each site began using PI platelets on a widespread basis, and the control period was a similar timespan before PI introduction. Suspected acute transfusion reactions were compared.

RESULTS
The study included 3839 pediatric patients who were 0 to 18 years of age who received &gt;7930 platelet transfusions, in total, across 4 centers in 3 countries between 2013 and 2019. The age distribution of patients in the study and control period was not significantly different (P = .190). There was not a difference in the percentage of patients who had any type of transfusion reaction between the time periods (1.0% and 1.1%, P = .803). There were fewer patients with mild allergic reactions in the study period compared with the control period (0.2% and 0.7% of patients with reactions, respectively, P = .018).

CONCLUSIONS
Pediatric patients have the same rate of acutely suspected transfusion reactions when receiving PI or conventional platelet transfusions. Subgroup analysis found fewer mild allergic reactions in the study period, which was contemporaneous to the addition of using platelet additive solution more broadly. Future studies of PI platelets should include children to better assess transfusion efficacy and hemostatic outcomes.

Published: February 2022

Context. The problem of a neural network model synthesis for industrial processes with the definition of an optimal topology characterized by a high level of logical transparency and acceptable accuracy is considered. The object of research is the process of neural network modeling of industrial processes using an indicator system to simplify and select the topology of neuromodels..
Objective of the work is consists in synthesis a neural network model of industrial processes with a high level of logical transparency and acceptable accuracy based on the use of the system.
Method. A method is proposed to use artificial neural networks of feedforward propagation for modeling industrial processes. After evaluating the overall level of complexity of the modeling problem based on the indicator system, it was decided to build a neuromodel based on historical data. Using the characteristics of the input data of the problem, the most optimal structure of the neural network was calculated for further modeling of the system. A high level of logical transparency of neuromodels significantly expands their practical use and reduces the resource intensity of industrial processes.
Results. Neuromodels of industrial processes are obtained based on historical data. The use of an indicator system made it possible to significantly increase the level of logical transparency of models, while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Constructed neuromodels reduce the resource intensity of industrial processes by increasing the level of preliminary modeling.
Conclusions. The conducted experiments confirmed the operability of the proposed mathematical software and allow us to recommend it for use in practice in modeling industrial processes. Prospects for further research may lie in the neuroevolutionary synthesis of more complex topologies of artificial neural networks for performing multi-criteria optimization.

Authors: Wilson Neal Kathleen 
Published: February 2022

Background and PurposeThis study explored pattern recognition practices of experienced pediatric nurses caring for children with chronic, complex healthcare needs and their families. Nurses worked in the inpatient settings of two different freestanding pediatric hospitals.MethodsMargaret Newman’s theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness (1999) was used to explore the pediatric nurses' experiences. During interviews, participants (n = 8) related their stories in caring for these children and their families. Individual interview data were blended to examine themes.ResultsParticipants described people and events in practice that allowed them to use pattern recognition in the care of children with chronic, complex healthcare needs. Pattern recognition developed in acknowledgement of their past experiences in nursing, as well as with each individual patient and family.Implications for PracticeParticipants had the opportunity to reflect on relationships between their day-to-day practice and their experiences building knowledge and understanding in practice. They considered their abilities to move from skills and tasks to appreciating what each patient and family has taught them about their practice of pattern recognition.

Published: February 2022

Case:
A 35-year-old farmer presented with a foot ulcer on his left flail foot because of a sciatic nerve injury of 1-year duration. A gap of 11 cm was observed in the sciatic nerve for which he underwent 2-staged pedicled peroneal nerve grafting and posterior bone block procedure for the ankle. He had S3 grade sensation at 5-year follow-up without any recurrence of ulcer and a stable foot without external support for walking.

Conclusion:
Staged pedicled peroneal nerve grafting with a posterior bone block procedure is a viable solution for very large sciatic nerve defect with predictable results.

Published: February 2022

Case:
Double-layered menisci are a rare anatomical variant, with cases identified predominantly in Asian populations. We present a case of Caucasian woman with a double-layered lateral meniscus, in which the accessory lateral meniscus had displaced into the intercondylar notch causing feelings of instability within the right knee. The accessory lateral meniscus was removed through arthroscopic surgery, and the patient had complete resolution of her symptoms postoperatively.

Conclusion:
Double-layered menisci can present similar to bucket-handled meniscus tears if the accessory meniscus displaces into the intercondylar notch. Arthroscopic debridement can be effective at improving clinical symptoms for these patients.
