AbstractUpregulation of endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) is the hallmark of various cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The purpose of the present study was to assess the ET‐1 response to an acute bout of whole‐body vibration (WBV) in humans and to determine the role of adiposity. Twenty‐two participants volunteered for the study; they were grouped into overweight/obese [(OW/OB): n = 11, Age: 33 ± 4 years, Body mass index (BMI): 35 ± 10 kg/m2] or normal weight [(NW): n = 11, Age: 28 ± 7 years, BMI: 21 ± 2 kg/m2]. Participants engaged in 10 cycles of WBV exercise (1 cycle = 1 min WBV followed by 30 s of rest). Blood samples were analyzed for ET‐1 pre‐WBV (PRE), immediately post (POST), 1 h (1H), 3 h (3H), and 24 h (24H) post‐WBV. There was a significant time main effect of WBV on circulating ET‐1 (F = 12.5, p < 0.001); however, the ET‐1 response was similar (F = 0.180, p = 0.677) between groups. Specifically, compared to PRE, a significant increase in ET‐1 was observed at 1H (p = 0.017) and 3H (p = 0.025). In addition, concentrations of ET‐1 were significantly lower at 24H compared to PRE (p = 0.019), 1H (p < 0.001), and 3H (p < 0.001). Maximal oxygen uptake during WBV was similar between the two groups. Acute WBV resulted in an initial rise in ET‐1, followed by a significantly lower ET‐1 at 24H in both groups. Findings support the utility of routine WBV exercise to elicit a decrease in ET‐1 and improve CVD risk, similar to what has been reported with traditional modes of exercise.
Promoting of metallurgical bonding by ultrasonic insert process in steel–aluminum bimetallic castings
Authors: Guo Rui , Zeng Daxin , Li Fengguang 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
It is challenging to efficiently prepare bimetallic composites with excellent metallurgical bonding. Here, we present a strategy, the ultrasonic insert casting (UIC) process, to solve this problem. The ultrasound cavitation effectively destroys the oxide film and promotes diffusion in the UIC-prepared steel/aluminum bimetallic castings, resulting in a uniform reaction layer between steel and aluminum. The reaction layer contains FeAl3, Al8Fe2Si, and Al4.5FeSi, and has a higher microhardness than the steel/aluminum matrix, with an average thickness of 8 μm. Moreover, the thickness of the reaction layer increases with the improvement of pouring temperature but the thicker reaction layer (approximately 12 μm) does not bring higher strength. The highest shear strength, about 70 MPa, is approximately three times higher than that without ultrasonic treatment. These results indicate a useful strategy for the low cost and high-efficiency preparation of metallurgical boding bimetallic casting.
Electrochemical production of silicon
Authors: Yasuda Kouji , Nohira Toshiyuki 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSilicon solar cells are crucial devices for generating renewable energy to promote the energy and environmental fields. Presently, high-purity silicon, which is employed in solar cells, is manufactured commercially via the Siemens process. This process is based on hydrogen reduction and/or the thermal decomposition of trichlorosilane gas. The electrochemical process of producing silicon has attracted enormous attention as an alternative to the existing Siemens process. Thus, this article reviews different scientific investigations of the electrochemical production of silicon by classifying them based on the employed principles (electrorefining, electrowinning, and solid-state reduction) and electrolytes (molten oxides, fluorides, chlorides, fluorides–chlorides, ionic liquids [ILs], and organic solvents). The features of the electrolytic production of silicon in each electrolyte, as well as the prospects, are discussed.

Published: May 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Autonomic imbalance is attributed as key mechanism altering metabolic regulation in diabetes mellitus. In view of controversial reports on autonomic function in FDRD and prediabetes, we aimed to assess and compare the autonomic function across the complete glycaemic spectrum in Indian population.

Methods
Short term heart rate variability and cardiac autonomic reactivity tests – blood pressure and heart rate response to orthostatic tolerance and deep breathing exercise, and diastolic response to isometric handgrip exercise were recorded in normoglycemic apparently healthy individual, normoglycemic first degree relatives of diabetes, prediabetes and diabetes individuals.

Results
Resting heart rate is significantly higher in FDRD, prediabetes and diabetes as compared to controls (control < FDRD = prediabetes = diabetes). Total power, LF power (control < FDRD < prediabetes = diabetes) and HF power (control < FDRD < prediabetes < diabetes) decreased along the glycaemic spectrum. Time-domain variables of HRV (SDNN, RMSSD, NN50, pNN50) were reduced as we move along the glycaemic spectrum (control < FDRD < prediabetes = diabetes). Cardiac autonomic function reactivity parameters such as 30:15 ratio and E:I ratio are decreased in prediabetes and diabetes group as compared to control and FDRD group (control = FDRD < prediabetes = diabetes). Diastolic response to isometric hand grip increases along the glycaemic spectrum starting from FDRD (control < FDRD < prediabetes = diabetes).

Conclusions
Autonomic dysfunction is observed even in first degree relatives of diabetes. Autonomic dysfunction increases as we move along the glycaemic spectrum (control < FDRD < prediabetes < diabetes).

Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article examines resistance discourses created and disseminated by a religious minority in Indonesia called Gerakan Ahmadiyah Indonesia (GAI) to counter any negative portrayals and religious-based discriminations. Ahmadiyah is a self-defined sect of Islam that has been the target of physical attacks and discursive discrimination in Indonesia. This analysis focuses on identifying discourse topics raised and strategies employed by one of the Ahmadiyya groups in the country called GAI to reveal their resistance and defend their ‘Islamic’ faith. Various texts produced in different genres namely statements and comments published in media, books, speeches and various articles published online in GAI’s official websites are used as the data which were collected during field research in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The analysis found that, in order to counter discriminatory discourses, the GAI Ahmadis present various resistance discourse themes such as distinguishing themselves from Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia, justifying their Islamic understanding by highlighting religious freedom discourse, including themselves as Muslims and presenting themselves as peaceful movement.

Masked Covid life: a socio-semiotic investigation
Authors: Matulewska Aleksandra , Wagner Anne , Marusek Sarah 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The necessity of wearing masks in response to the spread of the Covid-19 took Europe and the USA by surprise. Legislation needed to be enacted to enforce the obligation on citizens not used to such practices. The authors investigate the semiotic function of masks, legislations enacted to enforce their usage in public places, and the mask-related discourse (MRD) with a view to seeing how societies reacted to this imposition. A broad semiotic perspective is provided to analyze different attitudes and types of MRD that have emerged in Poland, France, and the USA.
Gambling along the schizotypal spectrum: The associations between schizotypal personality, gambling-related cognitions, luck, and problem gambling
Authors: Brooks Gabriel A. , Clark Luke 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Objective
Schizotypal personality (schizotypy) is a cluster of traits in the general population, including alterations in belief formation that may underpin delusional thinking. The psychological processes described by schizotypy could also fuel cognitive distortions in the context of gambling. This study sought to characterize the relationships between schizotypy, gambling-related cognitive distortions, and levels of problem gambling.

Methods
Analyses were conducted on three groups, a student sample (n = 104) with minimal self-reported gambling involvement, a crowdsourced sample of regular gamblers (via MTurk; n = 277), and an additional crowdsourced sample with a range of gambling involvement (via MTurk; n = 144). Primary measures included the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire – Brief (SPQ-B), the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory (PDI-21), the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS), and the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Luck was measured with either the Belief in Good Luck Scale (BIGLS) or the Beliefs Around Luck Scale (BALS).

Results
Small-to-moderate associations were detected between the components of schizotypy, including delusion proneness, and the gambling-related variables. Schizotypy was associated with the general belief in luck and bad luck, but not beliefs in good luck. A series of partial correlations demonstrated that when the GRCS was controlled for, the relationship between schizotypy and problem gambling was attenuated.

Conclusions
This study demonstrates that schizotypy is a small-to-moderate correlate of erroneous gambling beliefs and PG. These data help characterize clinical comorbidities between the schizotypal spectrum and problem gambling, and point to shared biases relating to belief formation and decision-making under chance.

Published: May 2022

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a benign osteolytic tumor with an aggressive course, affects the metaphyseal and epiphyseal areas of bone. GCTB is RANKL-positive tumor. Therefore, RANKL is a promising target for directed influence on the processes of bone resorption. Objective. To analyze the world and own experience of denosumab using in the treatment of patients with giant cell tumor of bone. Methods. The search for publications in electronicsystems was carried out Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, specialized archives journals and manuscripts. In addition, 57 patients with histologically verified GCTB without signs of malignancy were included. Results. Denosumab binds and inhibits RANKL, by stopping bone resorption by inhibiting differentiation, function and survival of osteoclasts. Information on the effectiveness of the drug in the treatment of patients with GCTB is contradictory.Some researchers claim that its use in the preoperative period reduces the amount of surgical intervention and the likelihood of recurrenceof GCTB. The effect correlates with the duration of drug administration. Other authors report an increase in the percentage of local tumor recurrence with denosumab and the next performance of curettage. This is explained by the complexity of macroscopic determination of the boundaries changed by action tumor preparation and, accordingly, the difficulty of choosing reach for removal during surgery. Our own experience showed that neoadjuvant therapy with denosumab 120 mg on the 1, 8, 15, 28 days promotes the formation of clear boundaries of the tumor, its compaction and, consequently, reduces the risk of pathological fracture and allows ablastic tumor removal. Conclusions. The results of the study of the effect neoadjuvant therapy with denosumab isambiguous. Under conditions its use followed by curettage increase the proportion of local recurrences of the tumor. At significant differences measures of lesions of GCTB before wide resection with endoprosthesis replacement administration of denosumab promotes bone formation skeleton around the tumor and its compaction, which allows ablastically remove it and reduce the risk of local recurrences.

Authors: Bhargavi Saikam , Janaki V 
Published: May 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with neurological symptoms in one third of COVID-19 patients which is attributed to its hypercoagulable state or its neurotropism which is not yet defined. PRES (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome) is a rare clinico- neuro-radiological entity which can be associated with multiple clinical conditions and was observed frequently with preeclampsia and eclampsia patients. Neuro- imaging is important to diagnose PRES. This study is a prospective observational study in COVID -19 positive eclampsia patients at Gandhi Hospital, Telangana during March 2021-august 2021.Among 55 COVID-19 positive eclampsia patients, 17 had PRES out of which 64.7% had antepartum eclampsia. Seven patients had severe COVID-19 disease out of which five patients required noninvasive ventilation and two patients required invasive ventilation. In my study, PRES was more common among primigravida, common age group 21-25 years. Mean SBP/DBP is 177±12 / 110±6 mm Hg respectively. Incidence of Thrombocytopenia is more in COVID-19 eclampsia patients. COVID -19 related complications are seen in 41.17% whereas eclampsia related maternal complications are seen in 29.4%. There was one maternal death and perinatal mortality was 17.64%.COVID -19 positive eclampsia patients have more predilection to PRES. Diagnosis, treatment of eclampsia in COVID-19 should be evaluated and treated for PRES. Regular antenatal visits and regular bp monitoring can prevent eclampsia and its complications and can reduce maternal morbidity, mortality. Use of anticoagulants and corticosteroids may fasten the recovery rate.
A rare case of cervical ectopic pregnancy

Published: May 2022

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of conceptus in the cervical glands and fibrous cervical wall below the level of internal os. It is a rare and potentially life threatening condition associated with a high rate of maternal morbidity and accounts for less than 1% of all ectopic gestation. It may turn into an obstetric emergency, if not detected and treated early due to risk of severe hemorrhage. This entity can be diagnosed at early gestational age with help of ultrasonography and conservative approach of management help to preserve fertility. A 32- year female treated for secondary infertility via in-vitro fertilization(IVF) and embryo transfer(ET) with previous three dilation and curettage following previous missed conceptions presented with vaginal bleeding and Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a cervical ectopic pregnancy of 5 weeks and 3 days with cardiac activity present. She was managed successfully by PGF2 alpha analogue administration preceding dilation and curettage of endocervical canal and cervical packing with hemocoagulase soaked gauze. Complete hemostasis was achieved and discharged after an uneventful hospital stay. Endocervical curettage is one of the minimally invasive management strategy in cervical ectopic pregnancy with cardiac activity and sufficient for full recovery with preservation of reproductive capacity. Our case demonstrates a new strategy combining systemic intramuscular prostaglandin and curettage for treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy which may provide an efficient and safe alternative to embryocides at early gestational age.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
—Cenozoic alkali basaltoids are developed in southern Transbaikalia (Dauria–Khentei Ridge). They are represented by thin flows and sheets. Unlike the volcanic fields of the South Baikal Volcanic Region (SBVR), the investigated fields are not associated with rifting. Volcanics from the flow of the Zharnichikha River were studied. Compositionally, they belong to basanites. For the first time, the mineral compositions of the volcanics have been determined. In their geochemical parameters, the basanites correspond to basic volcanics of oceanic islands. The P–T parameters of the equilibrium crystallization of olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts have been determined. For the calculated parental melt, the temperature of formation was 1536 °C, and the pressure was 3.28 GPa. The obtained original data on Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition have shown that the isotope composition of the magmatic melt formed from a PREMA source with a minor contribution of the latter. The mantle source for the studied basanites is assumed to be olivine pyroxenites (Ol + Cpx + Grt). The generation of basaltic melts occurred under the influence of a mantle plume, which caused Cenozoic activation.
Residual Learning to Integrate Neural Network and Physics-Based Models for Improved Production Prediction in Unconventional Reservoirs

Published: May 2022

Summary
The flow and transport processes that take place during hydrocarbon production from hydraulically fractured unconventional reservoirs are not well understood. As a result, current simulators cannot provide reliable predictions of the production behavior in the field. In addition to imperfect physics, the prediction errors can be caused by the inability to conveniently integrate important field data, such as well logs, drilling, and completion parameters, into existing physical models. A neural network (NN) model is developed to learn the (residual) errors in simulation-based production prediction as a funcation of input parameters of an unconventional well. Once trained, the NN model augments the physics-based predictions by adding the learned reiodual to predict the production response of a new well. To learn the discrepancy between the simulated and observed production data, the NN model is trained using a labeled dataset consisting of the prediction errors (as labels) and the corresponding input parameters (features), such as formation, completion, and fluid properties. During training, a mapping is identified from the input parameters to their respective prediction errors. To facilitate the residual learning, first a convolutional autoencoder architecture is used to map the simulated and observed production responses to a low-dimensional latent space. This step is followed by a regression model that learns the mapping between the collected field parameters and the corresponding latent space representation of the prediction errors. The two steps are included in a single NN architecture and trained simultaneously. The proposed residual learning method is designed to compensate for prediction errors originating from a combination of imperfect representation of the physics and inaccurate simulation inputs, including uncertain descriptions of the reservoir and fracture properties. The performance of the proposed residual learning approach is evaluated using synthetic data as well as a field case study from the Bakken play in North Dakota.

Abstract
Background: Plasma concentrations of gut microbial metabolites are associated with cardiomyocytes viability and platelet reactivity. We hypothesised that increased concentrations of gut metabolites may predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: We compared plasma concentrations of gut metabolites (trimethylamine-N-oxide, TMAO and indoxyl sulphate, IS) and platelet reactivity in 60 patients with AMI and 27 healthy controls. We assessed the predictive value of gut metabolites for MACE (stroke, recurrent AMI, death) over a median of 3.5-years. Results: The concentrations of TMAO and IS did not differ between AMI patients and controls. The concentrations of TMAO and IS were higher in patients who developed MACE, compared to those who did not (p≤0.015 for all). The concentration of TMAO was the only independent predictor of MACE in a multivariate analysis (OR 35.041, CI 1.269-967.307, p=0.036). Patients with the concentration of TMAO and indoxyl sulphate above the cut-off value predictive of MACE had higher platelet activity (p≤0.149 for all). Conclusions: Increased plasma concentration of TMAO is the independent predictor of MACE and may contribute to post-AMI cardiac dysfunction.
