AbstractVegetarian diets have become popular among athletes and active individuals and
can have advantages for physical performance, but the results are still
conflicting regarding muscle strength and power. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the diet and physical performance of vegetarians through tests of
dynamic, isometric, and relative strength; muscle power; and aerobic capacity.
In this cross-sectional study, 32 vegetarians and 26 omnivores, who were
physically active, were evaluated for the Healthy Eating Index and performance
tested back squat, handgrip strength, isometric deadlift strength, jump with
countermovement, and maximum aerobic speed (MAS). Improved diet quality
(63.24±14.40 vs. 54±16.80, p<0.05), greater relative
strength (1.03±0.23 vs. 0.91±0.12, p<0.05), and greater
jump height (43.77±9.91 vs. 38.45±8.92, p<0.05) were
found among vegetarians. No difference was seen in MAS (13.5±2 vs.
11±3, p>0.05) or isometric strength of upper limbs
(77±29 vs. 70±50, p>0.05) and lower limbs (89±41
vs. 97±50, p>0.05). Thus, we conclude that vegetarians and
omnivores show similar performance in strength and aerobic capacity, but in our
sample, vegetarians show higher levels of relative strength and power.

Resumo
Objetivo Analisar a relação da presença e da gravidade da lesão do manguito rotador (MR) com a obesidade e o tempo de exposição à obesidade. De forma secundária, avaliar a relação e a prevalência de fatores demográficos e metabólicos em indivíduos obesos com lesão do MR.
Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com 235 pacientes obesos (índice de massa corporal [IMC] ≥ 30 kg/m2). Dados demográficos (idade e gênero), metabólicos (hipertensão, diabetes mellitus, perfil lipídico, e tempo de exposição à obesidade), exame físico (peso, estatura, circunferência abdominal, e testes clínicos), e exame ultrassonográfico musculoesquelético foram utilizados para a análise dos resultados.
Resultados Não foi evidenciada associação da lesão do MR com IMC (p = 0,82), tempo de exposição à obesidade (p = 0,29), ou circunferência abdominal (p = 0,52). No subgrupo com lesão, a idade (p < 0,001), a presença de diabetes melito (p = 0,013), a hipertensão (p < 0,001), o nível de lipoproteína de alta densidade (high-density lipoprotein, HDL, em inglês) (p = 0,026), e o tempo de exposição à obesidade (p < 0,001) foram significativamente maiores em comparação ao subgrupo sem lesão do MR. Na busca por demais parâmetros associados de forma independente para lesão do MR, foram observadas associações com idade (p = 0,0003) e hipertensão (p =0,004).
Conclusão Não evidenciamos associação da obesidade e do tempo de exposição a ela com a ocorrência e a gravidade da lesão do MR. Porém, indivíduos com lesão apresentaram maior tempo de exposição à obesidade e prevalência de disfunções metabólicas do que indivíduos sem lesão. Além disso, nossos achados sugerem uma associação entre hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e idade avançada com a lesão do MR.

Authors: Temmermand David , Kilic Suat , Mikhael Mina , Butler Jennifer , Unsal Aykut A. ,   EUROCARE-5 Working Group
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Introduction Sinonasal melanomas are rare tumors with no comparative survival studies between Europe and the US.
Objective To provide a population-based survival analysis between the two continents.
Methods The European Cancer Registry (EUROCARE) and the United States Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases were queried to identify patients diagnosed with sinonasal melanoma between 2000 and 2007. Relative survival (RS) data were grouped by age, gender, geographic region, extent of disease, and treatment modality.
Results A total of 1,294 cases were identified between 2000 and 2007 (935 from EUROCARE-5 and 359 from SEER). Females were most commonly identified in Europe (56.4%) and in the US (54.9%). Patients over the age of 65 years comprised the greatest proportion of patients in Europe (70%) and in the US (71%). By region, Southern Europe had the highest 5-year RS (31.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [21.3–42.5%]), and Eastern Europe the lowest (16.5%, [7.5–28.5%]). The aggregate European 5-year RS was 25.4% [21.8–29.1%] and the U.S. was (29.7%, [23.6–36%]).
Conclusions Although increasing in incidence, sinonasal melanomas remain rare. Women were more commonly affected. The most common age group was those older than 65 years, although age did not confer a prognostic value. The most common subsite was the nasal cavity followed by the maxillary sinus. Five-year RS was similar between continents with an inverse relationship between extent of disease and survival. The treatment of choice throughout Europe and the US remains primarily surgical.

Abstract
Introduction The use of auditory behavioral tests, which specifically assess sustained attention, is necessary, due to its relationship with learning, language production, cognitive development and school performance.
Objective To evaluate how children performed using software developed to investigate the ability of sustained auditory attention, and to compare the scores obtained in this format with those of the original, non-computerized test.
Methods This cross-sectional study included 52 children of both genders, aged 6 to 11 years, with normal hearing and no history of complaints regarding inattention and/or hyperactivity. The computerized test was administered to all 52 children. The total error score (inattention and impulsivity) and the vigilance decrement were used to define the children's performance when using the software. The scores obtained in the two formats (computer software and original on compact disc) were then compared.
Results Statistically significant differences were found in the scores for innattention, impulsivity, and total error score (inattention and impulsivity) when comparing genders, and a negative correlation coefficient was found when comparing ages. Increased scores were found for all variables of the sustained auditory attention ability test (SAAAT) compared with the original format.
Conclusion Females performed worse than males in all aspects except for vigilance decrement when using the SAAAT software developed to evaluate the ability of SAAAT vigilance; younger children made more errors when using the SAAAT software; inattention errors were more frequent than impulsivity. Overall, higher values were obtained using the SAAAT software, when compared with the original version.

Fertility preservation methods for prepubertal women about to undergo gonadotoxic chemo and/or radiation therapy are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility to develop an alternative fertility preservation method based on an ex vivo perfusion platform for whole ewe ovaries. Thirteen ewe ovaries were divided into two groups (group 1 and 2) that were perfused in a bioreactor for up to 7 days. Group 1 (n = 3) were stimulated with human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) administered in single daily dose, while group 2 (n = 10) were stimulated continuously for 24 h. The perfused ovaries in group 1 showed no significant differences in follicular density, sub-follicular morphology and oocyte quality after ischaemia and after ex vivo perfusion compared with non-perfused control ovaries. The perfused ovaries in group 2 showed a significant decrease in the follicular reserve and oocyte quality compared with the control group. In total, 16 GV–MI oocytes were retrieved from both groups. This study describes for the first time the ex vivo maintenance of viable follicles of ewe ovaries with oocyte integrity and the retrieval of oocytes after ex vivo hormonal perfusion with two different protocols for up to 7 days.
Framing karstology
Authors: Vintar Špela , Martinc Matej 
Published: January 2022

AbstractWe describe the creation of a knowledge base in the field of karstology using the frame-based approach. Apart from providing a new multilingual resource using manually annotated definitions as the source of structured information, the main focus is on exploring text mining methods to identify targeted knowledge structures in specialised corpora. The first stage of this process is the design of a domain model and its implementation in a definition annotation task. Once annotation is completed, an analysis of typical co-occurrence patterns between semantic categories and the relations describing them allows us to discern ideal definition templates. We demonstrate that such templates contribute to a more comprehensive and structured representations of concepts, but also help us design targeted text mining experiments to retrieve new semantic relations from text. Two such experiments are presented, the first using intersections of word embeddings to identify words expressing a specific semantic relation, and the second using the embedding of the semantic relation to extract multiword units which contain the target relation. Results suggest that the proposed methods are promising for capturing the semantic properties of relations in frame-based knowledge modelling.
Low regularity extensions beyond Cauchy horizons
Authors: Lesourd M , Minguzzi E 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
We prove that if in a C
0 spacetime a complete partial Cauchy hypersurface has a non-empty Cauchy horizon, then the horizon is caused by the presence of almost closed causal curves behind it or by the influence of points at infinity. This statement is related to strong cosmic censorship and a conjecture of Wald. In this light, Wald’s conjecture can be formulated as a PDE problem about the location of Cauchy horizons inside black hole interiors.
Electron vacancy-level dependent hybrid photoionization of the F−@

Our previous studies (Shields et al 2020 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 53 125101; Shields et al 2020 Euro. Phys. J. D

It was further found as a rule that the ionization dynamics is insensitive to the C60 level the electron originates from to produce X

. In the current study, we report an exception to this rule in F@C60. It is found that when the electron vacancy is situated in the C60 level that participates in the hybridization in F−@

C

, the mixing becomes dramatically large leading to strong modifications in the photoionization of the hybrid levels. This novel effect is fundamentally based on a level-crossing phenomenon driven by the electron transfer in F@C60. But when the vacancy is at any other pure level of C60, the level-invariance is retained showing weak hybridization. Even though this case of F@C60 is an exception in the halogen@C60 series, the phenomenon can be more general and can occur with compounds of other atoms caged in a variety of fullerenes. Possible experimental studies are suggested to benchmark the present results.
Advanced functional magnetic microwires for technological applications

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Several routes allowing the development of low-cost magnetic microwires coated by insulating, flexible, and biocompatible glass coating with tunable magnetic properties are overviewed. Amorphous microwires can present excellent magnetic softness, the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect, and fast domain wall (DW) propagation. A high GMI effect, obtained even in as-prepared Co-rich microwires, can be further improved by appropriate heat treatment (including conventional annealing, stress-annealing, and Joule heating). Although as-prepared Fe-rich amorphous microwires exhibit a low GMI ratio, stress-annealing and combined stress-annealing followed by conventional furnace annealing allow substantial GMI ratio improvement (more than an order of magnitude). Magnetic softening and GMI effect improvement related to nanocrystallization are observed in Finemet-type Fe-rich microwires. The DW dynamics of amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe, Co, and Ni-based microwires with spontaneous and annealing-induced magnetic bistability are thoroughly analyzed, paying attention to the influence of magnetoelastic, induced, and magnetocrystalline anisotropies. Minimizing the magnetoelastic anisotropy by choosing low magnetostrictive compositions or by appropriate annealing is a suitable route to optimize the DW dynamics in magnetic microwires. Further DW dynamics can be achieved by stress annealing, allowing a more favorable distribution of magnetic anisotropy. Single DW dynamics in microwires with nanocrystalline structures is analyzed. Current-driven DW dynamics is observed in Co-rich microwires with annealing-induced magnetic bistability. Crystalline magnetic microwires can present various versatile properties, such as magnetic hardening, the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect or the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). Magnetic and transport properties of crystalline microwires are influenced by structure and chemical composition. Actual and prospective application scenarios of magnetic microwires and future developments are briefly overviewed.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) directly grown on a stainless steel mesh were functionalized using a fast, solvent-free radiofrequency (RF) plasma technique. Two different gas mixtures of Ar/C2H6/O2 and Ar/C2H6/N2 were used to add oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups to the surface of MWCNTs. The binder-free forest-like MWCNTs before and after functionalization were tested as supercapacitor electrodes. The structural and electrochemical characteristics of the electrodes were evaluated. The RF power (10–30 W) and functionalization time (1–20 min) were optimized to achieve the highest capacitance. Both nitrogen- and oxygen-functionalized MWCNTs showed improved capacitive behavior due to the presence of the functional groups on the MWCNT surface. The highest capacitance was obtained for the MWCNT electrode functionalized with the RF plasma employing the Ar/C2H6/O2 gas mixture at 20 W for 15 min, reaching the specific capacitance of 37.3 ± 1.1 mF cm−2 (196.3 ± 5.8 F g−1).
Suppression of impurity magnetization by the saddle points
Authors: Tang Xue-Yu , Zhang Yun , Ding Kai-He 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
We study the localized magnetic states of an impurity in the semi-Dirac-like system where the saddle point (SP) is present. It is found that with increasing the saddle point energy (SPE), the impurity magnetization region diminishes greatly, and reaches a minimum at the SPE equal to the impurity energy. When continuing to increase the SPE, the impurity magnetization region rapidly becomes large. Correspondingly, an explicit decrease with the SPE close to the impurity energy is also observed in the magnetic moment of the impurity. This suppression behavior for the magnetization of the impurity can be understood from the SP induced mitigation of asymmetry on the density of state at impurity energy. In contrast, when the SP vanishes, due to the opening of the gap, the magnetic region exhibits a monotonous decay when the conduction band edge goes up through the impurity energy. The combined effect of the SP and the Coulomb interaction at the impurity on the local magnetization is also investigated.
A hidden feature label propagation method based on deep convolution variational autoencoder for fault diagnosis
Authors: She Bo , Wang Xuan 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Vibration signal of mechanical component usually exhibits non-linear and non-stationary characteristics, the key step of fault diagnosis is to extract discriminant features hidden in the vibration signal, in order to improve diagnostic performance and identify new fault class, a novel fault diagnosis method of hidden feature label propagation based on deep convolution variational autoencoder (HFLPDCVA) is proposed. Firstly, the raw vibration signal is transformed into frequency spectrum data by using fast Fourier transform as the input of the model. Secondly, the variational autoencoder is used to construct the convolutional neural network, and the non-fixed dropout parameter is fused to change the network to improve the identification of network hidden layer features. Finally, the label propagation algorithm is applied to process the hidden features of the full connection layer, and the local common features between the unknown label samples and the known label samples are extracted to predict the class of unknown label samples, including the new emerge fault class. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on bearing fault data sets under variable working conditions and damage data sets of self-priming centrifugal pump under a single working condition. Experimental results show that the proposed HFLPDCVA method can effectively extract the fault characteristics of the vibration signal, and it also has a significantly higher recognition accuracy rate than other typical deep learning methods and traditional classifiers.

Published: January 2022

AbstractElectrodermal activity (EDA) has been measured in the laboratory since the late 1800s. Although the influence of sudomotor nerve activity and the sympathetic nervous system on EDA is well established, the mechanisms underlying EDA signal generation are not completely understood. Owing to simplicity of instrumentation and modern electronics, these measurements have recently seen a transfer from the laboratory to wearable devices, sparking numerous novel applications while bringing along both challenges and new opportunities. In addition to developments in electronics and miniaturization, current trends in material technology and manufacturing have sparked innovations in electrode technologies, and trends in data science such as machine learning and sensor fusion are expanding the ways that measurement data can be processed and utilized. Although challenges remain for the quality of wearable EDA measurement, ongoing research and developments may shorten the quality gap between wearable EDA and standardized recordings in the laboratory. In this topical review, we provide an overview of the basics of EDA measurement, discuss the challenges and opportunities of wearable EDA, and review recent developments in instrumentation, material technology, signal processing, modeling and data science tools that may advance the field of EDA research and applications over the coming years.
Modeling and simulations of ultra-intense laser-driven bremsstrahlung with double-layer targets
Authors: Formenti A , Galbiati M , Passoni M 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
High-energy bremsstrahlung emission can occur owing to electron scattering in the nuclei or ions Coulomb field following the relativistic-electron generation in high-intensity laser interaction with plasmas. Such emission of photons in the keV–MeV energy range is of interest to characterize the relativistic-electron populations and develop laser-based photons sources. Even if it is a well-established and widely studied emission process, its modeling in laser-plasma scenarios needs further investigation. Moreover, advanced near-critical double-layer targets (DLTs), consisting in a low-density foam deposited on a thin solid substrate, have never been explored extensively for bremsstrahlung photon emission. Therefore, in this paper, we show the rationale, advantages, limitations, application regime, and complementarity of different modeling approaches and apply them to the unconventional configuration based on DLTs. We use multi-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations coupled with a Monte Carlo strategy to simulate bremsstrahlung in two ways: integrated into the PIC loop itself or after the simulation with two separate codes. We also use simplified semi-analytical relations to retrieve the photon properties starting only from information on the relativistic electrons. With these tools, we investigate bremsstrahlung emission when an ultra-intense laser (0.8 µm wavelength, 30 fs duration,

a

20

and 3 µm waist) interacts with DLTs having different properties. Despite some limitations of the numerical tools, we find that all approaches significantly agree on the characteristics of ~1–100 MeV photon emission. This points to the possibility of adopting the different modeling approaches in a complementary way while at the same time identifying the best suited for a specific scenario. Regardless, DLTs appear to overall boost the high energy photon emission while at the same time enabling control of the emission itself.
