AbstractChronic tic disorders, such as Tourette syndrome, are characterized by motor and vocal tics. Tics present a considerable burden for some patients, and therefore, effective treatment is important. One evidence-based treatment option is a behavioral therapy called exposure and response prevention (ERP). Despite its effectiveness, access to ERP remains limited due to a lack of treatment sites. Web-based videoconferences can connect patients at home with a therapist located in the hospital, allowing for treatment delivery over a wide geographic area. The primary aim of this study was to compare the development of tics during and 1 year after ERP delivery, respectively, via web-based videoconferences and traditional face-to-face methods in a naturalistic setting. In total, 116 patients treated using either the face-to-face method (n = 72) or web-based videoconferences (n = 44) were included. The primary outcome measure was tic severity. In both training modalities, tic severity decreased during ERP and the effect lasted in the follow-up period. No statistically significant differences in tic severity between the training modalities were found at baseline, last training session, or at follow-up. Our results suggest that ERP delivered via web-based videoconferences is a good alternative to the traditional face-to-face method.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study is to describe the modified all-arthroscopic technique for triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) ligamentoplasty in chronic injuries of the TFCC with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability, and to present the results obtained.
Methods A prospective study was conducted including 11 consecutive patients with chronic TFCC injury with DRUJ instability who underwent an all-arthroscopic TFCC ligamentoplasty. During follow-up, the range of joint motion, grip strength, pain according to the visual analog scale (VAS), functional outcomes according to the Mayo Wrist Score (MWS), and the QuickDASH Score were measured, and any complications and necessary reinterventions were recorded
Results We analyzed 11 patients with distal radioulnar ligament injury treated using the all-arthroscopic ligamentoplasty technique. Mean follow-up was 31.5 ± 4.4 (range 12–58) months. The technique presented achieved DRUJ stability in 100% of cases at 12 months. Grip strength and pain, showed a statistically significant improvement between the preoperative score and the two postoperative assessments. Functional assessment using the QuickDASH score and the MWS also improved significantly.
Conclusion The all-arthroscopic technique for the reconstruction of irreparable peripheral TFCC tears is a reliable technique, intended not only to minimize the surgical trauma to reduce postoperative pain and to facilitate rehabilitation, but also to improve both the quality of the reconstruction and the functional outcome.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the correlation between abdominal fat measured at computed tomography (CT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and association with clinical outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods This prospective study comprised consecutive patients with AP who underwent abdominal CT and DXA. Fat estimation was done on whole-body DXA and abdominal CT. Correlations among body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), DXA, and CT fat measurements were determined. The association between fat measurements and clinical outcomes was assessed.
Results Fifty-nine patients (mean age 38.2 years, 48 males) were included. There was a strong correlation (r = 0.691–0.799) between DXA and CT fat estimation. In addition, there was a significant association of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) on DXA and CT with the severity of AP (p = 0.039 and 0.021, respectively) and the need for drainage of collections (p = 0.026 and 0.008, respectively). There was a weak correlation of the BMI and WC with the length of hospitalization (LOH) (r = 0.121, 0.190, respectively) and length of intensive care unit stay (LOICU) (r = 0.211, 0.197), while there was a moderate to strong correlation of the truncal fat and visceral fat on DXA and total adipose tissue and VAT on CT with LOH (r = 0.562, 0.532, 0.602 and 0.614, respectively) and LOICU (r = 0.591, 0.577, 0.636, and 0.676, respectively).
Conclusion In conclusion, fat indices measured on DXA and CT are associated with the severity of AP. In addition, the fat measurements at DXA are strongly correlated with those obtained at CT.

Published: November 2022

Context Detecting oestrus to facilitate the optimal timing of artificial insemination is key to optimal reproductive performance in dairy cows. Aims The aims of the present study were to investigate the relationship between activity and milk oestradiol concentrations during oestrus. Methods Accelerometers (IceQubes, IceRobotics Ltd, UK) were used to monitor the activity (the number of steps per day) of 37 lactating Holstein–Friesian cows during the peri-oestrus period. Daily milk samples were analysed for oestradiol and progesterone concentrations. Key results An increase in activity sufficient to generate an oestrus alert (behavioural oestrus) from an activity sensor (GEA Rescounter II) was detected in 29 of 37 (78%) cows. Milk oestradiol increased from 2.0 ± 0.5 pg/mL 4 days before oestrus to 8.3 ± 1.1 pg/mL on the day of behavioural oestrus, then fell to 2.6 ± 0.6 pg/mL by 3 days afterwards. Similarly, activity also increased and peaked on the day of oestrus. However, in 8 of 37 (22%) cows, although milk oestradiol concentrations increased following the fall in progesterone, there was no significant increase in activity (silent oestrus). Milk oestradiol concentrations were positively correlated (r = 0.37; P = 0.03) with activity on the day of oestrus. Cows that subsequently became pregnant took a similar number of steps (2806 ± 282.3 vs 2850 ± 372.5 steps for PD+ vs PD− cows respectively) but had higher oestradiol concentrations (11.2 ± 2.06 vs 5.1 ± 0.51 pg/mL for PD+ vs PD− cows respectively) on the day of oestrus than did cows that did not become pregnant. Conclusions Increases in oestradiol concentrations above a threshold of approximately 10 pg/mL are associated with an increased activity, and higher oestral oestradiol concentrations are associated with a higher rate of pregnancy following insemination. Implications This study has demonstrated the significance of oestradiol concentration to the fertility of dairy cows. Thus, strategies to enhance oestradiol secretion may enhance fertility. Further, milk oestradiol measures may be developed as an aid to oestrus detection in lactating dairy cows, although further studies are required to determine whether on-farm assessment of milk oestradiol concentration can be developed to add to the repertoire of biomarkers of oestrus in lactating cattle.
Overcoming the social stigma of losing a pet: Considerations for counseling professionals
Authors: Crossley Michelle Kay , Rolland Colleen 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals found themselves spending more time with their pets and relied on them to maintain normalcy and provide security during isolation. Pets play a significant role in the lives of their caregivers, taking on different attachment roles depending on the needs of the individual. Grieving the death of a pet continues to be disenfranchised in society. Perceptions of judgment can lead individuals to grieve the loss without social support. The present review builds on research in the field of pet loss and human bereavement and factors in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human-animal attachment A goal of the present review is to provide counselors with perspectives to consider in their practice when working with clients who have attachments to their companion animals and to acknowledge the therapeutic benefits of working through the grief process to resolution as a way to continue the bond with a deceased pet.
Cosmological particle creation in Weyl geometry
Authors: Berezin V A , Dokuchaev V I 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We investigated the possibility of the homogeneous and isotropic cosmological solution in Weyl geometry, which differs from the Riemannian geometry by adding the so called Weyl vector. The Weyl gravity is obtained by constructing the gravitational Lagrangian both to be quadratic in curvatures and conformal invariant. It is found that such solution may exist provided there exists the direct interaction between the Weyl vector and the matter fields. Assuming the matter Lagrangian is that of the perfect fluid, we found how such an interaction can be implemented. Due to the existence of quadratic curvature terms and the direct interaction the perfect fluid particles may be created straight from the vacuum, and we found the expression for the rate of their production which appeared to be conformal invariant. In the case of creating the Universe ‘from nothing’ in the vacuum state, we investigated the problem, whether this vacuum may persist or not. It is shown that the vacuum may persist with respect to producing the non-dust matter (with positive pressure), but cannot resist to producing the dust particles. These particles, being non-interactive, may be considered as the candidates for dark matter.

When artificial parameter evolution gets real: particle filtering for time-varying parameter estimation in deterministic dynamical systems
Authors: Arnold Andrea 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Estimating and quantifying uncertainty in unknown system parameters from limited data remains a challenging inverse problem in a variety of real-world applications. While many approaches focus on estimating constant parameters, a subset of these problems includes time-varying parameters with unknown evolution models that often cannot be directly observed. This work develops a systematic particle filtering approach that reframes the idea behind artificial parameter evolution to estimate time-varying parameters in nonstationary inverse problems arising from deterministic dynamical systems. Focusing on systems modeled by ordinary differential equations, we present two particle filter algorithms for time-varying parameter estimation: one that relies on a fixed value for the noise variance of a parameter random walk; another that employs online estimation of the parameter evolution noise variance along with the time-varying parameter of interest. Several computed examples demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithms in estimating time-varying parameters with different underlying functional forms and different relationships with the system states (i.e. additive vs. multiplicative).
A numerical algorithm for inverse problem from partial boundary measurement arising from mean field game problem
Authors: Chow Yat Tin , Wu Fung Samy , Liu Siting , Nurbekyan Levon , Osher Stanley 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this work, we consider a novel inverse problem in mean-field games (MFGs). We aim to recover the MFG model parameters that govern the underlying interactions among the population based on a limited set of noisy partial observations of the population dynamics under the limited aperture. Due to its severe ill-posedness, obtaining a good quality reconstruction is very difficult. Nonetheless, it is vital to recover the model parameters stably and efficiently in order to uncover the underlying causes for population dynamics for practical needs. Our work focuses on the simultaneous recovery of running cost and interaction energy in the MFG equations from a finite number of boundary measurements of population profile and boundary movement. To achieve this goal, we formalize the inverse problem as a constrained optimization problem of a least squares residual functional under suitable norms. We then develop a fast and robust operator splitting algorithm to solve the optimization using techniques including harmonic extensions, three-operator splitting scheme, and primal-dual hybrid gradient method. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the algorithm.
Direct current triboelectric nanogenerators: a review
Authors: Naval Sourav , Jain Ankesh , Mallick Dhiman 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Rapid advancements in the Internet of things (IoT) have revolutionized the world by creating a proliferation of low-power wireless devices and sensor nodes. The issue of powering these devices remains a critical challenge as they require a regulated direct current (DC) supply for their operation. Mechanical energy scavenging mechanisms are viewed and promoted as renewable powering solutions for low-power electronics. However, a majority of these energy harvesting mechanisms generate alternating current (AC). Converting AC to DC is a critical issue as it involves using a rectifier, which is not a preferred option considering additional circuitry, power requirements, and the significant threshold voltage of even the most state-of-the-art diodes. DC triboelectric nanogenerators (DC-TENG) have emerged as a direct powering solution, incorporating strategies like electrostatic breakdown, mechanical switching, and dynamic Schottky junction to generate a unidirectional current. Based on these strategies, different topologies for DC-TENG devices have been developed by researchers over time. Since its inception in 2014, the study on DC-TENG has rapidly emerged and expanded. This article reviews the progress associated with DC-TENG mechanisms and topologies, presents a theoretical and comparative study of these mechanisms, and highlights their applications. This article also examines the challenges, recent advancements, and future research prospects in this domain.

Abstract
The recent discovery of a zero-resistance state in nickel-based compounds has generated a re-excitement about the long-standing problem in condensed matter of high-critical temperature superconductivity, in light of the similarities between infinite-layer nickelates and cuprates. However, despite some formal valence and crystal symmetry analogies, the electronic properties of infinite-layer nickelates are remarkably original accounting, among other properties, of a unique Nd 5d-Ni 3d hybridization. This designates infinite-layer nickelates as a new class of oxide superconductors which should be considered on their own. Here we report about Nd1-x

NiO2 (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.2) thin films synthesized with and without a SrTiO3 (STO) capping-layer, showing very smooth and step-terraced surface morphologies. Angle-dependent anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) measurements performed with a magnetic field rotating in-plane or out-of-plane with respect to the sample surface, rendered important information about the magnetic properties of undoped STO-capped and uncapped samples. The results point at a key role of the capping-layer in controlling the magnitude and anisotropy of the AMR. We discuss this control in terms of a combined effect between the Nd 5d-Ni 3d hybridization and an intra-atomic Nd 4f-Nd 5d exchange coupling. Further studies foresee the influence of the capping layer on infinite-layer nickelates with no magnetic rare-earth.

Abstract
In this work, the radon emanation coefficients for selected building materials that are most often used in Serbia for covering floor surfaces (concrete, concrete screed, granite, glazed ceramic tiles, marble, roofing tile, and terrazzo tile) were determined, and the influence of the material structure on their values. The concentration of 226Ra activity in the samples was determined using the gamma spectrometry method. Radon emanation was measured with the RAD7 device. The porosity of the samples was tested using mercury intrusion porosimetry and water absorption methods, and the structural analysis was performed using x-ray diffraction analysis and x-ray fluorescence analysis. The measured values of 226Ra activity concentrations were in the range (4.93–298) Bq kg−1, and the estimated values of the radon emanation coefficients were in the range (0.55–6.05) %. The obtained results indicate that the chemical and mineralogical composition, method of production, and the 226Ra activity concentration have an influence on the emanation of radon from the material. No significant correlation was found between the radon emanation coefficient and the open porosity of the material, most likely due to the inhomogeneous presence of pores of different dimensions in the materials. It was established that the total value of the emanation coefficient depends on the emanation coefficient for pores ⩽100 μm in size.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
As one of the key components of a train, the running gear bearing has the highest fault rate, and its health condition is very important for the safe operation of the train. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately diagnose the health condition of the train running gear bearings under strong noise and variable working conditions has become one of the core contents of the intelligent operation and maintenance strategy. To meet these requirements, a lightweight convolutional neural network based on multiscale attentional feature fusion (MA-LCNN) is proposed in this paper, which takes the inverted residual network as the main structure. Firstly, a multiscale attention module (MA) was designed to extract fault feature information. Secondly, by embedding MAs in different locations, the ability of the MA-LCNN to extract fault feature information is greatly improved. Finally, an ablation experiment and noise resistance experiment are performed. The recognition accuracy scores of the MA-LCNN for cases 2 and 3 are 99.70% and 99.83%, respectively. The results show that the proposed attention module has better learning ability and stability compared to the contrast modules. The MA-LCNN demonstrates better fault diagnosis performance than contrast models under different noise environments and variable working conditions.

Abstract
Ultra-small (1.6 nm), water-soluble, white light-emitting (WLE), highly stable (∼8 months) BSA templated metallic (Mg0) nanoclusters (fluorescent magnesium nanoclusters = FMNCs) is developed using the green and facile route. Synthesis was facilitated by the reduction of magnesium salt, where template bovine serum albumin is utilized as a reducing agent and ascorbic acid act as a capping agent to impart stability in water, thereby obtaining stabilized Mg0 nanoclusters In solution, stabilized Mg0 nanoclusters produce white light (450–620 nm with FWHM ∼120 nm) upon 366 nm light excitation. This white light emission was found to have a CIE coordinate of 0.30, 0.33 [pure white light CIE (0.33, 0.33)]. Taking advantage of WLE and ultrasmall size, FMNCs were used for in vitro fluorescence imaging of HaCaT cell lines, yielding blue (τ = 2.94 ns, with a relative of QY = 1.2 % w.r.t QS), green (τ = 3.07 ns; relative quantum yield of 4.6% w.r.t R6G) and red (τ = 0.3 ns) images. Further, incubation of FMNCs with HEK293 (Human embryonic kidney cell) and cancerous MDA-MB-231 (Breast cancer cell line) human cell lines yielded 100 % cell viability. Current work is envisioned to contribute significantly in the area of science, engineering, and nanomedicine.
