Decay of Short-Term Motor Memory Regarding Force Reproduction
Authors: Hiraoka Koichi , Ishimoto Masaya , Kishigami Mai , Sakaya Ryota , Sumimoto Asahi , Yoshikawa Kazuki 
Published: November 2022

This study investigated the process that contributes to the decay of short-term motor memory regarding force reproduction. Participants performed tonic flexion of the right index finger with the target force feedback (criterion phase) and reproduced this force level without feedback 3, 10, 30, or 60 s after the end of the criterion phase (recall phase). The constant error for force reproduction was significantly greater than zero, indicating that information about the somatosensation and/or motor command in the criterion phase is positively biased. Constant and absolute errors were not influenced by the retention interval, indicating that neither bias nor error represents the decay of short-term motor memory over time. Variable error, defined as SD of bias (force in the recall phase minus that in the criterion phase), increased as the retention interval increased. This indicates that the decay of short-term motor memory is represented by the increase in inconsistency of memory bias among the trials. The correlation coefficient of the force between the criterion and recall phases with 3-s retention interval was greater than that with longer intervals. This is explained by the view that the contribution of the information of the practiced force to the force reproduction process is great within 3 s after the end of the practice, but the additional contribution of the noise information becomes greater after this time, causing lesser relative contribution of the information of the practiced force to the force reproduction process.
Text mining and knowledge graph construction from geoscience literature legacy: A review
Authors: Wang* Chengbin , Li Yuanjun , Chen Jianguo 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT
In the recent decade, knowledge graph has been a key technique under quick development in artificial intelligence. Due to its great potential for tackling big data and solving complex scientific questions in the geosciences, it has attracted the attention of both computer scientists and geoscientists. In this paper, we review concepts and technologies relevant to the knowledge graph, the workflow of geoscience knowledge graph construction, and state-of-the-art examples from several geoscience disciplines. There are two general strategies for constructing geoscience knowledge graphs: top-down and bottom-up. The detailed technologies include geoscience domain knowledge modeling, data collection, knowledge extraction, knowledge cleaning and fusion, knowledge storage, and knowledge service and discovery. A few recent studies have shown that knowledge graph is a useful tool for improving our understanding of the evolution of the Earth and can assist in data-intensive geoscience studies. At the end of the paper, we discuss the best practices from the studies reviewed and propose research topics for future work. Both knowledge and rules in existing human-curated databases and text mining from the literature should be leveraged in constructing geoscience knowledge graphs. Moreover, development of a higher level schema for existing ontology models and a comparable training corpus should be considered.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic caused by the virus SARS-CoV has spread rapidly and caused damage worldwide. Data suggest a major overrepresentation of hypertension and diabetes among patients experiencing severe courses of COVID-19 including COVID-19-related deaths. Many of these patients receive renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibiting therapy, and evidence suggests that treatment with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) could attenuate SARS-CoV-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome, and ACE inhibitors and ARBs have been suggested to alleviate COVID-19 pulmonary manifestations. This randomised clinical trial will address whether RAS inhibiting therapy should be continued or discontinued in hospitalised patients with COVID-19.Methods and analysisThis trial is a 30-day randomised parallel-group non-inferiority clinical trial with an embedded mechanistic substudy. In the main trial, 215 patients treated with a RAS inhibitor will be included. The participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either discontinue or continue their RAS inhibiting therapy in addition to standard care. The patients are included during hospitalisation and followed for a period of 30 days. The primary end point is number of days alive and out of hospital within 14 days after recruitment. In a mechanistic substudy, 40 patients treated with RAS inhibition, who are not in hospital and not infected with COVID-19 will be randomly assigned to discontinue or continue their RAS inhibiting therapy with the primary end point of serum ACE2 activity.Ethics and disseminationThis trial has been approved by the Scientific-Ethical Committee of the Capital Region of Denmark (identification no. H-20026484), the Danish Medicines Agency (identification no. 2020040883) and by the Danish Data Protection Agency (P-2020-366). The results of this project will be compiled into one or more manuscripts for publication in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.Trial registration number2020-001544-26;NCT04351581.

IntroductionKey populations (KP) living with HIV are underserved and often face social and health system barriers to HIV care. To optimise access to quality HIV services among KP, the WHO recommended community-based approaches to HIV service delivery for KP. However, to inform the successful rollout and scale-up of community-based antiretroviral therapy service delivery models for KP (KP-CBART), there is a need to study the programme implementation. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of KP-CBART in Benue State Nigeria using a realist impact evaluation approach. Our evaluation question is: what are the mechanisms and context conditions that drive successful community-based implementation and how do these lead to better retention in care, treatment adherence and viral suppression among which categories of KP?Methods and analysisThis study will be conducted in three phases, relying on a mixed-method design and following the realist evaluation cycle. The first phase is the development of the initial programme theory grounded in a scoping review, programme and policy document review and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. In phase 2, findings from case studies of KP-CBART programme implementation in one Nigerian state are used to test the initial programme theory and to refine it. The quantitative part is a retrospective cohort study. All HIV-positive KP clients enrolled into the KP-CBART between 2016 and 2020 will be included in the study. While maximum variation and data saturation will inform sample size for the qualitative part, an estimated 90 purposively selected study participants will be interviewed. In phase 3, findings will be synthesised into a middle-range theory through cross-case analysis. The heuristic intervention, context, agents, mechanisms and outcomes (ICAMO) tool will be used to refine the initial programme theory.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of APIN Public Health Initiatives (IRB022-FR), Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (1503/21), and the Benue State Ministry of Health and Human Services (MOH/STA/204/VOL1/154). Written informed consent will be obtained from all study participants. Study results will be disseminated through stakeholders meeting, peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

ObjectivesThe COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on people’s lifestyles such as causing body weight changes. This study examined associations among lifestyle changes and body weight during the COVID-19 pandemic among the Japanese population.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingA nationwide survey of the general Japanese population.ParticipantsTotal participants were 2244 men and women, of which 911 young/middle-aged (30–69 years old) and 899 older adults (70 years and older) were analysed separately.OutcomeChanges in lifestyle (physical activity, dietary habits and alcohol intake) and body weight during the first wave of COVID-19 in spring 2020.ResultsUnder the COVID-19 pandemic, 24.1% and 10.1% of Japanese respondents reported weight gain and reduction, respectively. Multivariable-adjusted stepwise logistic regression analyses revealed that the young/middle-aged respondents in the group increased body weight, weight gain was significantly associated with decrease in physical activity (OR 4.01, 95% CI 2.83 to 5.69) and both increase (OR 5.82, 95% CI 3.85 to 8.80) and decrease (OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.52 to 4.93) in eating between meals. In the group that decreased body weight, body weight reduction was significantly associated with increase in physical activity (OR 3.66, 95% CI 1.94 to 6.90), decrease in eating between meals (OR 5.97, 95% CI 3.11 to 11.48) and both increase and decrease in alcohol intake in the young/middle age. For the older adults, body weight gain was higher in women than in men, and significantly associated with higher quartile of regional COVID-19 infection, decrease in physical activity (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.98 to 4.49), increase in home-cooked meals and increase in eating between meals (OR 4.22, 95% CI 2.55 to 6.99). On the other hand, body weight reduction was significantly associated with decreases in physical activity (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.62 to 4.27), home-cooked meals and eating between meals (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.61) in the older adults.ConclusionChanges in physical activity and eating between meals were associated with body weight change under the COVID-19 pandemic among Japanese.

ObjectivesThis study aims to examine the association between migraine and various psychiatric and somatic comorbidities in Japan.DesignCross-sectional study using existing data of the 2017 Japan National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS).SettingNationally representative sample of persons (in terms of age and gender) living in the general community aged 18 years or older in Japan.ParticipantsOut of a sample of 30 001 NHWS respondents, 378 respondents were identified as migraine patients and 25 209 were identified as non-migraine patients. After propensity score (PS) matching (1:4), 1512 matched non-migraine respondents were identified.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrevalence and PS-matched prevalence ORs (PORs) were assessed for each psychiatric and somatic comorbidity among migraine patients and matched non-migraine respondents (including migraine patients with less than 15 monthly headache days (MHDs) and migraine patients with more than 15 MHDs).ResultsMigraine patients were predominately female and had significantly higher prevalence than matched non-migraine respondents to have psychiatric and somatic comorbidities. Psychiatric comorbidities with >5% prevalence among migraine patients included depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders, while gastrointestinal disorders were the most prevalent somatic comorbidity category. Other somatic comorbidities included allergies, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome and anaemia. Migraine patients with more than 15 MHDs tended to have higher point estimates for POR.ConclusionPsychiatric and somatic conditions were more prevalent in migraine patients than matched non-migraine respondents, some being novel associations not previously reported in Japan. This study provided insights on comorbidities, which could complicate care, clinical practice and outcomes among migraine patients.
Sarcopenia as a predictor of outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Luo Kai , Yang Lei , Li Yu 
Published: November 2022

IntroductionSarcopenia represents a central biological substratum of frailty, which increases the incidence of adverse events and mortality after surgery for oesophageal cancer, gastrectomy and pancreatic surgery. Recently, sarcopenia has been suggested as a predictor of outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, since relevant data were variable, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature to evaluate sarcopenia as a predictor of post-TAVI outcomes.Methods and analysisTwo investigators will conduct independent searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library, from database inception to October 2022. The search will not be limited by language or region. Eligible studies will include reports investigating post-TAVI outcomes in patients with sarcopenia, who are aged >18 years and diagnosed using a CT scan. The primary outcome is short-term mortality (30-day mortality), while the secondary outcomes include long-term mortality (>30 days), length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, need for ICU admission (the number of patients in the sarcopenia or non-sarcopenia group requiring ICU admission), length of hospital stay and overall complications. Included studies will be assessed for risk of bias according to the Quality in Prognosis Studies critical assessment tool and certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation. The analysis will be done with Review Manager (V.5.4) software. If testing reveals little or no statistical heterogeneity, a fixed-effect model will be used for data synthesis; otherwise, a random-effect model may be employed. On encountering substantial heterogeneity, subgroup analysis and leave-one-out jackknife sensitivity analysis will be used to verify the robustness of the results. The obtained results will be presented as forest plots while Cochran’s Q test and I2test will be used to calculate the heterogeneity (>50% indicating strong heterogeneity).Ethics and disseminationNo ethical approval is needed for this study since we will be using data from previously published studies. The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022349525.

Published: November 2022

In this work, we have discussed a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I space–time in the presence of Barrow holographic dark energy (infrared cut-off is the Hubble’s horizon) proposed by Barrow recently [J. D. Barrow, Phys. Lett. B 808, 135643 (2020).] and matter in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity where the nonmetricity [Formula: see text] is responsible for the gravitational interaction for the specific choice of [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is a constant). To find the exact solutions to the field equations, we consider the deceleration parameter [Formula: see text], which is a function of the Hubble’s parameter [Formula: see text] i.e. [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constants). We have studied the physical behavior of important cosmological parameters such as the EoS parameter, BHDE and matter density, skewness parameter, squared sound speed and [Formula: see text] plane. Also, we constrain the values of the model parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] using 57 Hubble’s parameter measurements.

Published: November 2022

The novel coronavirus disease — COVID-19 is a historic catastrophe that has caused many devastating impacts on human life and wellness. Researchers in academia and industry strive to understand the causes of this pandemic disease and find new therapeutics combating it. Consequently, the number of COVID-19 related publications increases rapidly, and it is too difficult for medical researchers and practitioners to keep up with the latest research and development. Literature filtering and categorization, and knowledge discovery can use text mining as a powerful tool. In this paper, we propose a text mining method to explore the categories of COVID-19 related themes and identify the standard methodologies that have been used. We discuss the potential limitations of this preliminary study and present future perspectives related to COVID-19 research. This paper provides an quantitative and qualitative mixed analysis example of using some research papers by data mining method to dig out several hidden information and set up a foundation for data scientists to develop more effective algorithms to deal with COVID-19 related problems.
A study on anabelian geometry of higher local fields
Authors: Murotani Takahiro 
Published: November 2022

Anabelian geometry has been developed over a much wider class of fields than Grothendieck, who is the originator of anabelian geometry, conjectured. So, it is natural to ask the following question: What kinds of fields are suitable for the base fields of anabelian geometry? In this paper, we consider this problem for higher local fields. First, to consider “anabelianness” of higher local fields themselves, we give mono-anabelian reconstruction algorithms of various invariants of higher local fields from their absolute Galois groups. As a result, the isomorphism classes of certain types of higher local fields are completely determined by their absolute Galois groups. Next, we prove that mixed-characteristic higher local fields are Kummer-faithful. This result affirms the above question for these higher local fields to a certain extent.

Published: November 2022

Background. Perirenal fat (PRF) has multiple effects on the kidney through its physical structure and adipocytokine-secreting ability. The present study explored the relationship between PRF thickness and the onset and progression of albuminuria in patients with diabetes. Methods. In the cross-sectional analysis, we screened 959 patients from 8764 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who met the inclusion criteria and measured their perirenal fat thickness (PFT) using color Doppler ultrasound. A group of laboratory indexes were included in the analysis models. In a longitudinal study, a total of 218 patients with a baseline UACR <30 mg/g were included in the follow-up study. Results. In a cross-sectional analysis, patients with diabetes and higher PFT presented with higher albuminuria. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that PFT was an independent risk factor for the degree of albuminuria in patients with T2DM (odds ratio = 4.186, 95%CI: 2.290–7.653,

P

< 0.001). In a longitudinal study, 218 albuminuria-free patients with T2DM at the baseline were followed up for a mean of 12.3 months. Based on the cutoff value from the ROC diagnostic test in the cross-sectional study, patients were divided into two groups: higher PFT (H-PFT) and lower PFT (L-PFT). Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis showed that H-PFT was associated with a higher incidence of albuminuria than L-PFT (log-rank test, χ2 = 4.522,

P

= 0.033). Cox regression analysis showed that PFT was a risk factor for the earlier onset of albuminuria (hazard ratio 2.83, 95% CI: 1.34–4.88,

P

< 0.001). Conclusions. PRF evaluated by color Doppler ultrasound is an easy and reliable tool for predicting the onset and progression of albuminuria in patients with T2DM.

Introduction. Hypertension is known worldwide as a preventable significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and their mortality. This study was designed to determine the mortality rate and years of life lost (YLL) due to hypertension in Fars Province. Method. In this cross-sectional study, we extracted all death reports due to hypertension based on age, gender, and the year of death based on ICD-10 from the EDRS system (Electronic Death Registration System). The YLL analysis due to premature death related to hypertension was executed by the 2015 YLL template from WHO in EXCEL 2016 software. To examine the trend of crude and standardized mortality rates and YLL rates for different years, joinpoint regression was used based on the log-linear model. Results. In the 16 years that the study was done (2004–2019), 13443 death cases occurred in the Fars Province, 51.0% of which (6859 cases) were in females and 48.5% (6515 cases) of which were in the 80+ age group. Total YLL due to hypertension in these 16 years of study was 61,344 (1.9 per 1000) in males, 64,903 (2.1 per 1000) in females, and 126,247 (2.0 in 1000) in both genders. According to the joinpoint regression analysis, the 16-year trend of YLL rate due to premature mortality was increasing: the average annual percent change (AAPC) was 4.9% (95% CI −2.6 to 12.85,
