Last dental visit and severity of tooth loss: a machine learning approach
Authors: Bomfim Rafael Aiello 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the time of last dental visit, as a mediator of socioeconomic status, associated with severe tooth loss and presence of functional dentition (FD) and use a machine learning approach to predict those at higher risk of tooth loss in adults and older adults. Methods: We analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 88,531 Brazilian individuals aged 18 and over. Tooth loss was the outcome by; 1) functional dentition (lost 1-12 teeth) and 2) severe tooth loss (lost 23-32 teeth). Structural Equation models were used to find the time of last dental visit, as a mediator of socioeconomic statuses, associated with the outcomes. Moreover, machine learning was used to train and test predictions to target individuals at higher risk for tooth loss. Results: For 65,803 adults (aged 18 to 59), more than two years of last dental visit was associated with lack of functional dentition. Age was the main contributor in the machine learning approach, with an AUC of 90%, accuracy of 90%, specificity of 97% and sensitivity of 38%. For older adults, more than two years of last dental visit was associated with higher severe loss. The main contributor to the machine learning approach was the last dental visit with an AUC of 77%. Conclusions: More than two years of last dental visit appears to be associated with a severe loss in older adults and lack of functional dentition in adults. The machine learning approach had a good performance to predict those individuals.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background: Atrial cardiopathy (AC) has emerged as a potential pathological thrombogenic atrial substract of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), even in the absence of atrial fibrillation. Left atrium (LA) myocardial deformation analysis may be of value as a subclinical marker of AC and a predictor of ESUS.Aims: To compare LA mechanical function between ESUS cases and age and sex-matched controls. Methods: A single-center analytical study with case-control design was performed. The case group was composed of young patients admitted to the Neurology department from January 2017 to June 2021. The control group was composed of age and sex-matched controls recruited from the community. All participants performed echocardiograms and a smaller sample underwent cardiac magnetic resonance.Results: We recruited 31 ESUS patients aged between 18 and 65 years and 31 age and sex-matched controls. ESUS patients had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and patent foramen ovale (PFO). The prevalence of AC was not different between groups. Echocardiogram parameters, including strain analysis, were similar between groups, except for LA appendage (LAA) ostium variation which was significantly lower in ESUS patients (absolute: 6.5vs8.7mm, p<0.001; relative: 44.5%vs53.4%, p=0.002). After the exclusion of patients with PFO, all the results were statistically similar. Regarding cardiac magnetic resonance analysis, there were no statistically significant differences between groups.Conclusion: This study shows that in our population AC and atrial function was not associated with ESUS. LAA structural and functional abnormalities may play a major role. The role of LAA in ESUS warrants further studies.
A Cost-Effectiveness Metric for Association Rule Mining in Software Defect Prediction
Authors: Nishiura Kinari , Kasagi Takeki , Monden Akito 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a cost-effectiveness metric for association rule mining suitable for software defect prediction where conditions of defective modules are characterized as association rules.Given a certain amount of test effort (or the number of test cases), the proposed metric is the expected number of defects to be discovered in modules that meet an association rule.Since the amount test effort is limited in general and full testing of all modules is ineffective, the proposed metric is useful to focus on the most cost effective set of modules to be tested with limited test effort. The proposed metric is defined based on the exponential Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM) extended with the module size parameter, assuming that a larger module require more effort to discover defects. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed metric, association rules were extracted and prioritized based on the proposed metric using data sets of four open source software projects. The LOC-based cumulative-lift chart, which is often used to evaluate the cost effectiveness of defect prediction, shows that the proposed metric can focus on the rules that can discover more defects than the conventional association rule metrics, confidence and odds ratio.

Published: August 2022

Bokashi is a fermented rice straw. It is widely used as an organic fertilizer in Indonesia. It maintains the porosity of the soil, so the plant can grow perfectly. Rabbit urine on the other hand can be used as another nitrogen source. However, there is no report about the effect of both combination in shallots production (Allium ascalonicum L.), one of the main commodities in Magelang. For a better understanding on bokashi and rabbit urine, this experiment aims to study about its addition on the stem growth of shallots. Four dosages of rice straw bokashi were used. There are B0 (0kg/plot), B1 (3 kg/plot), B2 (4 kg/plot), and B3 (5kg/plot). While the concentration of rabbit urine are P0 (0 mL/L), P1 (175 mL/L), and P2 (250 mL/L). The growth of the stem is measured every one week until it reached the full growth. This study showed that the addition of bokashi hinder the stem’s growth. It turned out that too many bokashi will raise the temperature of the soil and inhibit the plant’s growth.©2021 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved.

Published: August 2022

With the further development of urbanization and the construction of urban rail transit system, the shortage of urban land is becoming more and more obvious. The construction of metro car depots and parking lot has become the general trend in China. However, the influence of vehicle-induced noise has become the key factor restricting the comprehensive development of vehicle depot and property on parking lot. This paper studies the influence of noise on buildings by analyzing the noise caused by train operations. On this basis, the feasible noise reduction scheme is studied, and comprehensive noise reduction measures are proposed to improve the comfort level of vehicle-induced noise in the metro depot with superstructures. The results found that the noise near the smoke outlet in the throat area is about 58 dB (A), and the environmental noise at 1.2 m in the site is about 53 dB (A), exceeding the nighttime limit of class 2 acoustic environment functional area by 3-8 dB (A). The noise near the smoke outlet at the test line is about 55 dB (A), and the environmental noise at 1.2 m of the site is about 51 dB (A), which exceeds the night limit of 1-5 dB (A) in the functional area of class 2 acoustic environment.

Published: August 2022

Taking high performance concrete (HPC) in hydraulic engineering as an example, this paper discusses the influence of different mixing methods of slag powder and fly ash on its frost resistance and chloride ion permeability. The results show that the compressive strength decreases with the addition of HPC; Proper addition of mineral admixtures is beneficial to improve the anti chloride ion permeability of HPC and reduce the electric flux; The HPC flux of 28d and 90 reaches 680C and 280C, when the mass ratio of slag powder to fly ash is 15:35 and the content of mineral admixture is 35 %; The frost resistance of HPC gradually deteriorates with the increase of mineral admixture under the condition of constant air content and water binder ratio. The frost resistance grade of HPC without mineral admixture reaches F200, and its frost resistance is the best.
Numerical analysis of projectile-based low overload launch model
Authors: He Zhiyi , Yang Guolai 
Published: August 2022

In modern war, the special ammunition launched by mortars contains photoelectric components, which can’t bear high overload, so low overload launching is required. This paper creatively conceives the integrated structure of projectile and inverted high-pressure chamber without changing the mortar tube’s original structure design. The flow field in the bore is modeled and simulated by using classical interior ballistics and FLUENT, and the difference between the chamber pressure of the inverted high-pressure chamber structure and the traditional structure are analyzed. The simulation results show that the initial motion law of the projectile launched by the inverted high-pressure chamber structure is different from that launched by the original structure. Chamber pressure has two peaks, the peak value decreases by 25 %, the velocity increases by 5 %, and the displacement increases by 60 %.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study used satellite imagery datasets to extract various morphometric parameters in a geospatial environment to prioritize problematic areas in the Rarhu watershed of Ranchi district, Jharkhand, India. Two decision-making methods, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and VIKOR (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje), were integrated to prioritize different sub-watersheds. The Rarhu watershed has an area of 630 km2 with an elevation ranging from 210 to 824 m. The NASA Digital Elevation Model (NASADEM) was used to extract drainage networks which were verified from Survey of India (SOI) toposheets. To prioritize 21 sub-watersheds using a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method, 11 morphometric parameters were selected from linear, areal, and relief parameters. The VIKOR method prioritized sub-watersheds using AHP criteria weights, which are classified into four priority levels ranging from very high to low. In addition, performing sensitivity analysis validated the robustness of the decision-making model. As per the analysis, Rarhu watershed was found to have an elongated shape and a highest 6th order stream with a dendritic pattern of streams. It is estimated that watershed degradation is around 36.17% in the study area, with very high priority needs for soil and water conservation measures. Using the results of the study, policymakers, watershed planners, watershed development programme, and soil and water conservation programme projects can identify vulnerable sub-watersheds that require urgent adaptation of soil and water management control measures.

Published: August 2022

Background
Few studies have investigated how to best measure adherence to smoking cessation medications, but continuous usage measures are recommended.

Objective
In this first study of its kind, we compared methods for measuring adherence to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) among pregnant women, investigating the completeness and validity of data collected from daily assessments using a smartphone app versus data collected from retrospective questionnaires.

Methods
Women aged ≥16 years who were daily smokers and <25 weeks pregnant were offered smoking-cessation counseling and encouraged to use NRT. For 28 days after setting a quit date (QD), women were asked to report NRT use daily to a smartphone app and to questionnaires administered in person or remotely at 7 and 28 days. For both data collection methods, we provided up to £25 (~US $30) as compensation for the time taken providing research data. Data completeness and NRT use reported to the app and in questionnaires were compared. For each method, we also correlated mean daily nicotine doses reported within 7 days of the QD with Day 7 saliva cotinine concentrations.

Results
Of the 438 women assessed for eligibility, 40 participated and 35 accepted NRT. More participants (31/35) submitted NRT usage data to the app by Day 28 (median 25, IQR 11 days) than completed the Day 28 questionnaire (24/35) or either of the two questionnaires (27/35). Data submitted to the app showed a lower reported duration of NRT use compared to that indicated in the questionnaire (median for app 24 days, IQR 10.25; median for questionnaire 28 days, IQR 4.75; P=.007), and there appeared to be specific cases of overreporting to the questionnaire. Mean daily nicotine doses between the QD and Day 7 were lower when calculated using app data (median for app 40 mg, IQR 52.1; median for questionnaire 40 mg, IQR 63.1; P=.001), and some large outliers were evident for the questionnaire. Mean daily nicotine doses, adjusted for cigarettes smoked, were not associated with cotinine concentrations for either method (app rs=0.184, P=.55; questionnaire rs=0.031, P=.92), but the small sample size meant that the analysis was likely underpowered.

Conclusions
Daily assessment of NRT use via a smartphone app facilitated more complete data (a higher response rate) than questionnaires, and reporting rates over 28 days were encouraging among pregnant women. App data had better face validity; retrospective questionnaires appeared to overestimate NRT use for some participants.
Effects of a WeChat-Based Life Review Program for Patients With Digestive System Cancer: 3-Arm Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Zheng Meihua , Zhang Xiaoling , Xiao Huimin 
Published: August 2022

Background
Patients with digestive system cancer often experience psychospiritual distress. Life review is an evidence-based psychological intervention for patients with cancer, but the effects of digital life review programs are unclear, especially for patients with digestive system cancer.

Objective
We examined the effects of a WeChat-based life review program on the psychospiritual well-being of patients with digestive system cancer.

Methods
This study was a 3-arm parallel randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients with digestive system cancer were recruited from a university hospital in Fujian, China. They were randomized to a life review group and 2 control groups. All participants received routine care, and the life review group also received the 4-week WeChat-based life review program. Control group 1 also received a 4-week program of friendly visiting. Anxiety, depression, hope, and self-transcendence were measured at baseline and 2 days, 1 month, and 6 months after the intervention.

Results
A total of 150 participants were randomly allocated to the WeChat-based life review group (n=50), control group 1 (n=50), or control group 2 (n=50). The overall dropout rate was 10% (15/150), and 92% (46/50) of participants in the the life review group completed the intervention. Significant interaction effects for time and group membership were found for anxiety (P<.001), depression (P<.001), hope (P<.001), and self-transcendence (P<.001) at all follow-up time points. For anxiety and depression, the scores did not differ significantly between the life review group and control group 1 on day 2 (P=.80 for anxiety, P=.51 for depression), but the scores were significantly lower in the life review group at month 1 and month 6 (P=.02 for anxiety at both months 1 and 6; P=.003 and P<.001 for depression at months 1 and 6, respectively). Significant increases in hope and self-transcendence were revealed in the life review group compared to control group participants at all follow-up sessions.

Conclusions
The WeChat-based life review program was effective in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms and in improving the level of hope and self-transcendence among patients with digestive system cancer. Though friendly visiting can also help to relieve anxiety, its effects are short-term.
