Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background
Cephalad renal ectopia is rare. Ectopic kidneys besides being prone to various pathologies are occasionally associated with other congenital abnormalities. To the best our knowledge, at the time of this writing, only ten cases of bilateral subdiaphragmatic renal ectopia had been reported.
Case presentation: We present a rare case of bilateral subdiaphragmatic ectopic kidneys incidentally discovered during evaluation of the abdominal pain. In addition, our patient had associated anomalies of the liver, spleen and mesocardia.

Conclusions
Recognition of this condition is important for accurate diagnosis, surgical and/or intervention planning, as well as identifying other associated anomalies.
Beyond bold versus shy: Zebrafish exploratory behavior falls into several behavioral clusters and is influenced by strain and sex
Authors: Rajput Neha , Parikh Kush , Kenney Justin W. 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTIndividual differences in exploratory behavior have been found across a range of taxa and are thought to contribute to evolutionary fitness. Animals that explore more of a novel environment and visit areas of high predation risk are considered bold, whereas animals with the opposite behavioral pattern are shy. Here, we determined whether this bimodal characterization of bold versus shy adequately captures the breadth of behavioral variation in zebrafish or if there are more than these two subtypes. To identify behavioral categories, we applied unsupervised machine to three-dimensional swim traces from over 400 adult zebrafish across four strains (AB, TL, TU, and WIK) and both sexes. We found that behavior stratified into four distinct clusters: previously described bold and shy behavior and two new behavioral types we call wall-huggers and active explorers. Clusters were stable across time and influenced by strain and sex where we found that TLs were shy, female TU fish were bold, male TU fish were active explorers, and female ABs were wall-huggers. Our work suggests that zebrafish exploratory behavior has greater complexity than previously recognized and lays the groundwork for the use of zebrafish in understanding the biological basis of individual differences in behavior.
Behavioural temperature regulation is a low priority in a coral reef fish (Plectropomus leopardus): insights from a novel behavioural thermoregulation system

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
Current understanding of behavioural thermoregulation in aquatic ectotherms largely stems from systems such as ‘shuttle boxes’, which are generally limited in their capacity to test large-bodied species. Here, we introduce a controlled system that allows large aquatic ectotherms to roam freely in a tank at sub-optimal temperatures, using thermal refuges to increase body temperature to their thermal optimum as desired. Of the 10 coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus; length ∼400 mm) implanted with thermal loggers, three fish maintained themselves at the ambient tank temperature of 17.5–20.5°C for the entire 2–4 days of the trial. Of the other seven fish, body temperature never exceeded ∼21.5°C, which was well below the temperature available in the thermal refuges (∼31°C) and below the species' optimal temperature of ∼27°C. This study adds to a growing literature documenting an unexpected lack of behavioural thermoregulation in aquatic ectotherms in controlled, heterothermal environments.

Published: August 2022

In 5G and beyond 5G wireless communication networks, the NOMA scheme is widely considered a major non-orthogonal access technique for improving system capacity and data rates. The main challenges in current NOMA systems are limited channel feedback and the difficulty of integrating it with advanced adaptive coding and modulation algorithms. This study analyses S-LSTM-based DL NOMA receivers in i.i.d. Nakagami-m fading channel circumstances as opposed to previously presented solutions. The LSTM has the advantage of responding dynamically to changing channel conditions. When compared to a typical NOMA system, a typical NOMA system has a 12% lower outage probability, a 39% increase in net throughput, and a maximum SER reduction of 48%. Complex modulated M-ary PSK and M-ary QAM data symbols are employed in D/L NOMA transmission. Classic receivers such as LS and MMSE are outperformed by the S-LSTM-based DL-NOMA receiver. The CP and non-linear clipping noise simulation curves compare the performance of the MMSE and LS receivers with that of the DL NOMA receiver in real-time propagation circumstances. The DL-based detector outperforms the MMSE for SNRs greater than 15 dB because the S-LSTM method is more robust than the clipping noise.
Astigmatism-free Czerny–Turner spectrometer with a low f-number by a bicylinder lens
Authors: Zhou Qian , Zou Zhiyong 
Published: August 2022

A modified optical design for a broadband astigmatism-corrected Czerny–Turner spectrometer with high resolution and large throughput is presented. The theory of astigmatism correction is analyzed with the use of a bicylinder lens with different radii of curvature in tangential and sagittal planes. The optical performances of a modified spectrometer and two traditional spectrometers are compared in detail. The results show that the modified Czerny–Turner spectrometer can obtain superior astigmatism-free performance, an

Published: August 2022

Investigating and controlling light propagation in one-dimensional (1D) ordered and disordered atomic lattices is critical both fundamentally and for applications. In this study, cold atoms are trapped in 1D optical lattice and driven to the four-level N configuration. In each period, the atoms exhibit a Gaussian density distribution with the average atomic density N0 (1 + Δ

). When the random number Δ
k

Authors: Santander-Hernández Flor M. , Peralta C. Ichiro , Guevara-Morales Miguel A. , Díaz-Vélez Cristian , Valladares-Garrido Mario J. 
Published: August 2022

Introduction
Medical students have made particular use of smartphones during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although higher smartphone overuse has been observed, its effect on mental disorders is unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between smartphone overuse and mental disorders in Peruvian medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 370 students aged between 16 and 41 years (median age: 20) in three universities from July to October 2020. A survey including Smartphone Dependence and Addiction Scale, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 was applied. Prevalence ratios were estimated using generalized linear models.

Results
Smartphone overuse was a common feature among students (n = 291, 79%). Depressive symptoms were present in 290 (78%) students and anxiety symptoms in 255 (69%). Adjusted for confounders, addictive/dependent smartphone use was significantly associated with presence of depressive symptoms (PR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.20–1.38 for dependent use; PR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.12–1.50 for addictive use). Also, addictive/dependent smartphone use was significantly associated with presence of anxiety symptoms (PR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.14–2.23 for dependent use; PR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.07–2.41 for addictive use).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that medical students exposed to smartphone overuse are vulnerable to mental disorders. Overuse may reflect an inappropriate way of finding emotional relief, which may significantly affect quality of life and academic performance. Findings would assist faculties to establish effective measures for prevention of smartphone overuse.
Transidiomatic favela: language resources and embodied resistance in Brazilian and South African peripheries
Authors: Silva Daniel 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This article draws on a transidiomatic interaction between South Africa and Brazil activists to investigate the emergence of “hybrids” (Latour 1993. We have never been modern. Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press) of body, language, and politics, while simultaneously looking to the contextual objectification of communicative resources. The interaction took place during the 2013 Circulando, an annual event promoted by the NGO Raízes em Movimento in the Complexo do Alemão favelas in Rio de Janeiro. As both Brazil and South Africa were on the route of mega sporting events and the neoliberal transformation of the city into business, activists from both peripheries produced comparable views of their struggle against forced removals ahead of the FIFA World Cup. In this ethnographic case, translanguaging as hybrid embodied practice occurs alongside other semiotic moves, such as circumscribing specific pragmatic functions. The empirical and epistemic findings may be of relevance for translanguaging research. Specifically, activists’ engagement with “non-modern” modes of hybridization (e.g., their contextual mingling of language resources, technologies and the body) and “modern” forms of objectification, such as the circumscription of specific “genres of listening” (Marsilli-Vargas 2022. Genres of listening: An ethnography of psychoanalysis in Buenos Aires. Durham: Duke University Press) suggest that it is not fruitful seeing as separate in our data the dynamics of hybridization and objectification, or the dynamics of transglossia and uniformization.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Cellular analysis of body fluids (BF) has clinical relevance in several medical conditions. The objective of this study is twofold: (1) evaluate the analytical performance of the BF mode of Mindray BC-6800 Plus compared to manual counts under microscopy and (2) analyse if the high-fluorescent cell counts provided by the analyser (HF-BF) are useful to detect malignancy.

Methods
A total of 285 BF was analysed: 250 corresponding to patients without neoplasia and 35 to patients with malignant diseases. Manual differential counts were performed in BF with ≥250 cells/μL. Percentages and absolute counts were obtained on the BC-6800Plus for total nucleated cells (TC-BF), mononuclear, polymorphonuclear and HF-BF. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman’s correlation, Passing-Bablok regression, Bland-Altman graph and ROC curve.

Results
To compare manual and automatic total cell counts, samples were divided in three groups: <250, 250–1,000 and >1,000 cells/μL. Correlation was good in all cases (r=0.72, 0.73 and 0.92, respectively) without significant differences between both methods (p=0.65, 0.39 and 0.30, respectively). The concordance between methods showed values of 90%. Considering malignant samples, median HF-BF values showed significant higher values (102 cells/μL) with respect to non-malignant (4 cells/μL) (p<0.001). The cut-off value of 8.5 HF-BF/μL was able to discriminate samples containing malignant cells showing sensitivity and specificity values of 89 and 71%, respectively. Considering both, HF-BF and TC-BF values, sensitivity and specificity values were 100 and 53%, respectively.

Conclusions
This study reveals that the Mindray BC-6800Plus offers an accurate and acceptable performance, showing results consistent with the manual method. It is recommended to consider both HF-BF and TC-BF values for the screening of the microscopic evaluation to ensure the detection of all malignant samples.
A Boundary Integral Formulation and a Topological Energy-Based Method for an Inverse 3D Multiple Scattering Problem with Sound-Soft, Sound-Hard, Penetrable, and Absorbing Objects
Authors: Le Louër Frédérique , Rapún María-Luisa 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we study numerical methods for simulating acoustic scattering by multiple three-dimensional objects of different nature (penetrable, sound-soft, sound-hard and absorbing targets) simultaneously present in the background media.
We derive and analyze a boundary integral system of equations that arises when the solution of the problem is represented via single-layer potentials.
We give abstract necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of Petrov–Galerkin discretizations and show that spectral methods satisfy these conditions.
Superalgebraic convergence order of the discrete method for smooth objects is illustrated in some test cases.
After that, we tackle the inverse problem of finding the shape of objects of different unknown nature from measurements of the total field at a set of receptors.
We propose a numerical algorithm based on the computation of the topological energy of a weighted multifrequency least squares cost functional and present some numerical examples to illustrate its capabilities.
A Gaussian Method for the Square Root of Accretive Operators
Authors: Denich Eleonora , Novati Paolo 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We consider the approximation of the inverse square root of regularly accretive operators in Hilbert spaces.
The approximation is of rational type and comes from the use of the Gauss–Legendre rule applied to a special integral formulation of the fractional power.
We derive sharp error estimates, based on the use of the numerical range, and provide some numerical experiments.
For practical purposes, the finite-dimensional case is also considered.
In this setting, the convergence is shown to be of exponential type.
The method is also tested for the computation of a generic fractional power.
Building carbon neutrality goals break down strategies for sustainable energy development
Authors: Gan Shiyuan , Zhang Wei 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
“Carbon neutrality” refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly produced by a country, business, product, activity or individual over a period of time. Through afforestation, energy saving and emission reduction, etc., to offset the carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions generated by itself, to achieve positive and negative offset, to achieve relative “zero emissions”, which belongs to the same term as “carbon peaking” in energy saving and emission reduction. “Carbon” means carbon dioxide, and “neutralization” means a positive and negative balance. The carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emitted is offset by afforestation, energy saving and emission reduction, which is called “carbon neutrality”. Goal decomposition is the process of gradually completing the overall goal according to multiple fields to form a goal system. Target decomposition should be carried out according to the principle of integration and integration. That is, the overall goal is decomposed into sub-goals of different levels and departments, and the synthesis of each sub-goal reflects the overall goal and ensures the realization of the overall goal. This paper aims to study the decomposition of building carbon neutrality goals to sustainable energy development strategies, combining energy conservation and emission reduction with the building industry to reduce environmental pollution and energy waste. Based on the theory of sustainable development, combined with the development characteristics of China’s new energy industry, this paper makes a theoretical analysis of the sustainable development of the new energy industry from the three systems of economy, society and ecology. Using the new growth theory and the dissipative structure theory, the restricting effect of the depletion of basic energy on economic development and the influence on the alternation of industrial structure are discussed. The experimental results of this paper show that the building energy consumption intensity will reach 1.43tC/10,000 yuan, 1.25tC/10,000 yuan in the ideal scenario, and 1.1tC/10,000 yuan in the low-carbon scenario.

AbstractAdaptive visualization and interfaces pervade our everyday tasks to improve interaction from the point of view of user performance and experience. This approach allows using several user inputs, whether physiological, behavioral, qualitative, or multimodal combinations, to enhance the interaction. Due to the multitude of approaches, we outline the current research trends of inputs used to adapt visualizations and user interfaces. Moreover, we discuss methodological approaches used in mixed reality, physiological computing, visual analytics, and proficiency-aware systems. With this work, we provide an overview of the current research in adaptive systems.
A device and an app for the diagnosis and self-management of tinnitus
Authors: Vittorini Pierpaolo , Chamoso Pablo , De la Prieta Fernando 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Tinnitus is an annoying ringing in the ears, in varying shades and intensities. Tinnitus can affect a person’s overall health and social well-being (e.g., sleep problems, trouble concentrating, anxiety, depression and inability to work). The diagnostic procedure of tinnitus usually consists of three steps: an audiological examination, psychoacoustic measurement, and a disability evaluation. All steps are performed by physicians, who use specialised hardware/software and administer questionnaires. This paper presents a system, to be used by patients, for the diagnosis and self-management of tinnitus. The system is made up of an app and a device. The app is responsible for executing – through the device – a part of the required audiological and psychoacoustic examinations, as well as administering questionnaires that evaluate disability. The paper reviews the quality of the automated audiometric reporting and the user experience provided by the app. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to support the findings. The results show that automated reporting is comparable with that of physicians and that user experience was improved by re-designing and re-developing the acufenometry of the app. As for the user experience, two experts in Human-Computer Interaction evaluated the first version of the app: their agreement was good (Cohen’s K = 0.639) and the average rating of the app was 1.43/2. Also patients evaluated the app in its initial version: the satisfactory tasks (audiometry and questionnaires) were rated as 4.31/5 and 4.65/5. The unsatisfactory task (acufenometry) was improved and the average rating increased from 2.86/5 to 3.96/5 (p = 0.0005). Finally, the general usability of the app was increased from the initial value of 73.6/100 to 85.4/100 (p = 0.0003). The strengths of the project are twofold. Firstly, the automated reporting feature, which – to the best of our knowledge – is the first attempt in this area. Secondly, the overall app usability, which was evaluated and improved during its development. In summary, the conclusion drawn from the conducted project is that the system works as expected, and despite some weaknesses, also the replication of the device would not be expensive, and it can be used in different scenarios.
Five themes for ecostylistics
Authors: Goatly Andrew 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Fundamentally, meaning is organized along two dimensions, similarity and contiguity, corresponding to two areas of the brain primarily responsible for language processing, Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area, respectively. Modern culture has tended to overemphasize the similarity dimension through money/commodification in capitalism, and mathematics in science, with disastrous ecological consequences. Ecostylistics can celebrate and analyze themes and linguistic patterns of poetry and novels which challenge this overemphasis. Five such themes are suggested in this article. To counter overemphasis on similarity (1) individuation. To celebrate Broca’s area’s contiguity dimension (2) dynamic process, and (3) interrelatedness and communication with the natural world. However, concentration on local contiguities of time, manifest in the contemporary English-speaking novel, distracts from the global contiguities of (4) long-term ecological change. (5) The two dimensions are also manifest in metaphor, which challenges conventional similarity-based classification, and narrative, which expands the contiguity dimension beyond the clause. These themes are illustrated by poetic examples from Wordsworth and Edward Thomas, and detailed analysis of the following texts: Gerard Manley Hopkins’ “As Kingfishers Catch Fire” and “Nature is a Heraclitean Fire”; Edward Thomas’s “The Word”, Alice Oswald’s “Sonnet” and “Birdsong for Two Voices”, and, returning to a text whose analysis by Michael Halliday was seminal for Stylistics, William Golding’s The Inheritors. Transitivity analysis within the framework of Systemic Functional Grammar is used throughout, and connections are made with quantum physics, Daoism, and other process philosophies.
