Atypical motor neuron disease variant: facial-onset sensory and motor neuronopathy syndrome (FOSMN)
Authors: Özenç Betül , Odabaşı Zeki , Tan Ersin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Facial-onset sensory and motor neuronopathy (FOSMN) is a rare disease whose cardinal features are initial asymmetrical facial sensory deficits slowly evolving and followed by bulbar symptoms and spreading of sensory and motor deficits from face to scalp, neck, and extremities.

Case presentation
We described a 70-year-old man who presented with 6-month history of facial numbness on the left side, and gradual worsening of symptoms. Over several months, facial muscle weakness, dysarthria, and fasciculation had progressed. NCS, needle EMG and blink reflex responses suggested the diagnosis of FOSMN. The ganglioside panel (anti-GM1 and Gd1b) was positive. Considering the FOSMN autoimmune pathology hypothesis, IVIG treatment was given.

Conclusion
In this case, we aimed to highlight the key clinical aspects of FOSMN and how to differentiate it from motor neuron disease and bring FOSMN to the attention of neurologists as a recently recognized and distinctive disorder.
Updating the role of transcranial Doppler in prediction and prevention of stroke in correlation to the regularity of blood transfusion in Egyptian children with sickle cell anemia
Authors: Kamel Sara Mahmoud , Nassim Mariam Saad , Mohamed Mostafa Abdelmgeed , Abdelrahman Sherif Fathy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
The Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hemoglobinopathy that is recessively inherited commonly among people of Equatorial African, Saudi Arabian, and Mediterranean ancestry. It is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and intermittent vaso-occlusive events. The stroke is a common complication of SCD, which occurs in approximately 7% of children with SCD. The Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is the only noninvasive examination that provides a reliable evaluation of intracranial blood flow patterns in real time with no need for sedation of the patient. The TCD can identify children with the highest risk of the first-ever stroke and those in need of prophylactic blood transfusion, as the blood transfusion is not in the protocol of management of SCD till now but just after complication occurrence. So, it is important to know if the chronicity and the regularity of the transfusion are useful or not.

Results
Sixty-nine patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease, recruited from the pediatric hematology outpatient clinic, over a period of 7 months, with age 2–13 years, examined by transcranial Doppler ultrasound. 44.9% of them were on regular blood transfusion, 39.1% occasionally transfused and 15.9% never transfused. Transcranial Doppler parameters of the cerebral arteries, namely TAMAX, PSV, were correlated with the frequency of transfusion and with (STOP) classification of the stroke risk. The Doppler parameters were also correlated with the different clinical parameters. The right MCA PSV and left DICA PSV were significantly higher among patients who were never transfused before. The Right DICA TAMAX was significantly higher among patients on regular transfusion, and the left DICA TAmax was significantly higher among patients who were never transfused before. Patients with high risk of stroke were diagnosed at a significantly older age. Regarding the laboratory parameters, platelets were significantly lower and total and direct bilirubin was significantly higher among the high stroke risk patients.

Conclusions
The regularity of the blood transfusion is extremely important in the stroke prevention. The most important velocities that may act as indicators for the risk are TAMAX of both DICAs and PSV of RT MCA & LT DICA.
Clustering column-mean quantile median: a new methodology for imputing missing data
Authors: Yehia Nourhan , Wahed Manal Abdel , Mabrouk Mai Said 
Published: December 2022

AbstractDNA microarray data sets have been widely explored and used to analyze data without any previous biological background. However, analyzing them becomes challenging if data are missing. Thus, machine learning techniques are applied because microarray technology is promising in genomics, especially in the analysis of gene expression data. Furthermore, gene expression data can describe the transcription and translation processes of each genetic information in detail. In this study, a new system was proposed to impute more realizable values for missing data in a microarray dataset. This system was validated and evaluated on 42 samples of rectal cancer. Several evaluation tests were also conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the new system and compare it with highly known imputing algorithms. The proposed clustering column-mean quantile median technique could predict highly informative missing genes, thereby reducing the difference between the original and imputed datasets and demonstrating its efficiency.
Deconstruction and Anastasis
Authors: Mohan Shaj 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Deconstruction was the beginning of a disassembly of metaphysics that now proceeds toward anastasis through the openings created by Jean-Luc Nancy. Deconstruction remained classical in the sense of its reliance on classical laws of thought, of which it remained the self-critique. With Nancy, however, the rejection of the classical laws of thought emerged. Anastasis is the other beginning that opens philosophy to the experiences covered over by the classical laws.
Reject and Resubmit: A Formal Analysis of Gender Differences in Reapplication and Their Contribution to Women’s Presence in Talent Pipelines
Authors: Fernandez-Mateo Isabel , Rubineau Brian , Kuppuswamy Venkat 
Published: December 2022

A common explanation for women’s underrepresentation in many economic contexts is that women exit talent pipelines at higher rates than men. Recent empirical findings reveal that, in male-dominated selection contexts, women are less likely than men to reapply after being rejected for an opportunity. We examine the conditions under which this gender difference contributes to women’s underrepresentation in talent pipelines over time. We formally model and analyze the population dynamics of a generic selection context, which we then ground using three distinct empirical settings. We show that gender differences in reapplication are an important mechanism of gender segregation in some selection contexts but negligible in others. The extent to which gender differences in reapplication contribute to women’s underrepresentation is driven in part by the rejection rate. Higher rejection rates increase the stock of rejected applicants, which in turn enables gender differences in reapplication to disproportionally reduce women’s representation. The results demonstrate that interactions between individuals’ choices on the supply side and screeners’ behavior on the demand side may have consequences for gender inequality, even if we were able to fully eliminate demand-side biases. We discuss the theoretical and policy implications of our research for understanding women’s underrepresentation in talent pipelines. We also interrogate the effectiveness of common interventions focused on encouraging women to apply for opportunities in male-dominated domains.

Cemental tears: challenges in the diagnosis and management of an unusual finding associated with rapid localized periodontal and peri-radicular bone loss
Authors: Tan Siew Leng , Patel Kajal B , Kilgariff Julie K 
Published: December 2022

A cemental tear is a rare form of root surface fracture whereby a fragment of cementum partially or completely detaches from the root surface at the cemento-dentinal junction or within the body of cementum. Tears are most prevalent in incisors and lead to the breakdown of periodontal issues. Owing to challenges involved in diagnosis, cemental tears may be misdiagnosed because associated clinical and radiographic features closely resemble those seen in vertical root fractures, periodontal abscesses and endo-periodontal lesions. If incorrectly diagnosed, inappropriate and delayed management may result in treatment failure and tooth loss. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Correct diagnosis and timely management of cemental tears can prevent further destruction of periodontal tissues, improve treatment outcomes and increase tooth survival.
Freeform optics characterization with surface registration and fitting algorithms for optical point-based spatial path 3D topography metrology
Authors: Duan Yiting , Zhang Xiaodong 
Published: December 2022

Accurate characterization of the form error for freeform optics is critical for controlled manufacturing and evaluation of optical properties. To solve the difficulty of current surface registration and fitting algorithms, and improve characterization accuracy of the form error of freeform optics for optical point-based spatial path 3D topography metrology, in this paper, improved surface registration and fitting algorithms are proposed, including a B-spline surface description of freeform optics, point orthogonal projection, registration parameter optimization, and B-spline fitting. Limited by the angular characteristics of an optical point-based sensor, the slope and reference frame of freeform optics must be flexibly adjusted, and polynomial surfaces are described and fitted as B-spline surfaces based on B-spline geometric invariance. To efficiently determine corresponding points on B-spline surfaces, the point orthogonal projection algorithm without Bezier subdivision is proposed using the first-order Newton method. Then, the iteration procedure of coordinate adjustment in sphere space using Lie algebra registration parameters is proposed to solve the difficulty of the current registration parameter optimization procedure. To fit a spatial path form error, the least squares B-spline fitting method is proposed to improve the Zernike method. Through simulation experiments, the proposed registration algorithm with good convergence can improve accuracy by one to two orders of magnitude compared with current registration algorithms. Through repeated experiments of a freeform prism, the proposed method can significantly improve the peak-to-valley and RMS accuracies compared with the stylus method, and characterize the mid-high frequency form error (about 200 nm) of a freeform prism.

Published: December 2022

Background
Chagas is a complex and multidimensional socio-environmental health phenomenon, in which different components converge and interact. Historically, this disease was associated with insect vectors found in the rural environment. However, in the Americas, we are currently facing a new paradigm, in which different scenarios allow maintaining the vectorial transmission of the parasite through triatomine populations that either occasionally enter the dwellings or colonize urban environments.

Methodology/Principal findings
Records of scientific reports available in the PubMed and LILACS search engines were retrieved, using three criteria according to the main triatomine genera of epidemiological importance and to the general scientific production on Chagas disease in urban contexts. Results showed that records on the occurrence of vectors in urban dwellings began to increase in the last three decades. Results also showed that the main species of triatomines collected inside dwellings (18 in total) belong mainly to the genera Triatoma and Panstrongylus, with most species (16/18, 88.8%) infected with the parasite, and that infestation of triatomine species occurs in all types of cities (small, medium and large, including megalopolises), from Argentina to the USA.

Conclusions/Significance
Urban Chagas represents a new challenge that adds a different dimension to the problem of Chagas disease due to the particular characteristics of the lifestyle in urban agglomerates. The new scenario will require adaptations of the programs of control of vector to this shift from rural to urban settlements.

Published: December 2022

Background
T2D is an increasingly common disease that is associated with worse outcomes in patients with heart failure. Despite this, no contemporary study has assessed its impact on heart transplantation outcomes. This paper examines the demographics and outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) undergoing heart transplantation.

Methods
Using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database, patients listed for transplant were separated into cohorts based on history of T2D. Demographics and comorbidities were compared, and cox regressions were used to examine outcomes.

Results
Between January 1st, 2011 and June 12th, 2020, we identified 9,086 patients with T2D and 23,676 without T2D listed for transplant. The proportion of patients with T2D increased from 25.2% to 27.9% between 2011 and 2020. Patients with T2D were older, more likely to be male, less likely to be White, and more likely to pay with public insurance (p<0.001, all). After adjustment, T2D patients had a lower likelihood of transplantation (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.93, CI: 0.90–0.96, p<0.001) and a higher likelihood of post-transplant mortality (HR: 1.30, CI: 1.20–1.40, p<0.001). Patients with T2D were more likely to be transplanted in the new allocation system compared to the old allocation system (all, p<0.001).

Conclusions
Over the last ten years, the proportion of heart transplant recipients with T2D has increased. These patients are more likely to be from traditionally underserved populations. Patients with T2D have a lower likelihood of transplantation and a higher likelihood of post-transplant mortality. After the allocation system change, likelihood of transplantation has improved for patients with T2D.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundDue to the ease of access to the internet in modern society users have become more prone to experiencing addictive behaviors online. The present study aimed to develop and investigate the psychometric properties of the Bangla Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF), Gaming Disorder Test (GDT), and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) due to a lack of existing sound psychometric tools in Bangladesh.MethodsA cross-sectional paper-and-pencil survey was carried out among 428 school-aged adolescents who were active gamers (90.89% males; Meanage: 16.13±1.85 years; age range: 10–19 years). Participants were recruited using convenience sampling across four selected schools in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. Data collected included sociodemographic information, frequency of internet use and gaming behaviors, psychological states (i.e., Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9], Generalized Anxiety Disorder [GAD-7]), disordered gaming and social media use (i.e., IGDS9-SF, GDT, and BSMAS). Psychometric testing was conducted to examine the validity and reliability levels of the Bangla IGDS9-SF, GDT, and BSMAS.ResultsThe newly adapted Bangla IGDS9-SF, GDT, and BSMAS exhibited adequate levels of internal consistency. All total scores were significantly correlated with depression, anxiety, frequencies of internet use/online activities and gaming, supporting criterion and convergent validity. CFA indicated excellent construct validity as all instruments had a good fit to the data.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the Bangla IGDS9-SF, GDT, and BSMAS are sound psychometric instruments due to their satisfactory psychometric properties including internal consistency, criterion validity, convergent validity, and construct validity.

Published: December 2022

UI GreenMetric World University Rankings is a non-profit initiative from Universitas Indonesia that ranks universities around the world based on their commitment and actions towards sustainability. During the ranking process, many universities’ performance in UI GreenMetric has progressed. To increase the performance of each university in UI GreenMetric, universities need to share their sustainability achievement and current condition in a forum. These universities can share information about the implementation of sustainability policies in each university through the International Workshop on UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. Due to the ongoing pandemic and our concerns that the event could ease the spread of coronavirus, this event was being held online. We evaluate the workshop to capture the experience gained in organizing the virtual event. From the topics modeling based on several regions, we conclude that university leaders around the world are very concerned about diverse sustainability issues, alongside the Covid-19 pandemic that has been going on for more than a year. We also conclude that people are getting more accustomed to virtual events, as evidenced by the increase in IWGM 2021 active participants of around 44% compared to 2020 virtual workshops.

Authors: M.M Redina , E.V. Savenkova 
Published: December 2022

The approaches to the organization and the first results of the project on the organization of a carbon landfill at the Peoples ' Friendship University of Russia are presented. The topic of the absorption of greenhouse gases by natural ecosystems is one of the most actively developing. A complex of scientific and educational projects on climate change, decarbonization, and assessment of ecosystem services is being implemented at the RUDN University. One of the directions is our own carbon landfill on the campus. The object is of interest as a technologically modified ecosystem that is under the influence of anthropogenic sources. The analysis of ecosystem activity in the absorption of greenhouse gases and, accordingly, the assessment of ecosystem services of this type is implemented using the RUDN's own environmental monitoring network, which has been operating since 2017. Preliminary assessments allowed us to draw conclusions about the degree of transformation of ecosystem components and their contribution to the absorption of greenhouse gases. The project has both practical and educational significance and is considered as part of the package of strategic topics for the development of the university "Campus as a green lab", contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals.

REAP, a project for PET and can
Authors: Velosa Ana 
Published: December 2022

In a moment of change, with an impulse from the pandemic that hit the world, the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals has become a clear necessity towards a more sustainable world, with less inequalities and a basis for the upbringing of future generations. SDG Goal 12 Sustainable Consumption and Production, 13 - Climate Action - and 14 - Life below water - are clearly linked to plastic and metal consumption and production. Also, Goal 10 - Reduced inequalities - plays its paper in this field. Not only does plastic and metal production, consumption and use need to be reformed, but also producers need to bridge inequalities and reuse, recycle and introduce circular economies in their own countries, not inducing mass imposition of waste in poorer economies. With this in mind, at the University of Aveiro, the REAP Project (Recycling of PET and Aluminium Packages) is being implemented, together with a Norwegian partner, with vast experience in the plastic waste sector. This project will help create the idea of PET and aluminium impact from a tax on these packages inside campi walls and a tax return after adequate deposition. Tracking these numbers and promoting research in the area of PET and aluminium reuse are a further input towards the implementation of SDGs.The paper will explain the project, its goals and ambitions.Keyword: PET, Can, SDG Goals, circular economy

Published: December 2022

It is estimated that the amount of water needed by Universitas Diponegoro will increase in the years to come. Several efforts are required to ensure the fulfillment of water needed while also considering its sustainability. There have been studies on water conservation at the industrial level. Still, limited studies have discussed this problem in Indonesia specifically at university level. Therefore, this study discusses the water conservation program at Universitas Diponegoro that might be used as a reference for other universities to address water supply problems. This study aims to discuss in depth water conservation efforts at Universitas Diponegoro. This study incorporates a descriptive-qualitative approach along with direct observation. Some programs on water supply have been implemented in Universitas Diponegoro such as conservation, treated water consumed, water recycling and water-efficiency. The existence of rainwater harvesting tanks (RWH), reservoirs, biopores, wastewater treatment plans (WWTPs) and ponds are among the efforts that have been applied at Universitas Diponegoro in order to conserve the water. To date, Universitas Diponegoro has successfully conserved more than 75% of the water, recycling about >50% of wastewater, installing about >50% of water-saving equipment, and has treated clean water into drinking water using reverse osmosis.Keyword: water, conservation, sustainability, campus

Published: December 2022

Pakistan is on verge of facing severe water scarcity issues by 2025. An exponential increase in population increases the water demand as most of the population in the country depends on groundwater. Over extraction of groundwater is causing depletion in the groundwater table at an alarming rate. Water conservation is becoming the need of time. Rainwater Harvesting is one the best methods that can be used to conserve water. This paper aims to determine the total volume of water that can be conserved from Rainfall on the Rooftop at the University of Faisalabad, Amin Campus located in an industrial city Faisalabad, Pakistan. For this purpose, water usage on the campus is estimated. The area of the campus rooftop is measured by conducting a topographic survey. Rainfall data from the year 1981-2021 is collected and average monthly rainfall is calculated. The soil Conservation Service Curve Number method is adopted to calculate the run-off. Results indicated that about 1300 cubic meters of water can be conserved per year which will cover about 20-25 percent of the total water demand of the campus if a Rainwater Harvesting System is installed at the campus.Keyword: Rainwater Harvesting, Water Conservation, Water Scarcity
