Authors: Frendika Rusman , Gaus Nurdiana , Budiarti Isniar 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Considering the social psychological, social cognitive, and economic factors, this paper aims to examine how gender equality can be bridged in the workplace through the empowerment of women workers’ ability to craft and narrate personal branding and self-confidence to gain better condition in the workplace. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to 200-woman employees working in 10 manufacturing industries in 5 regions in West Java, Indonesia. The independent variable of the personal branding scale is adopted from Peter and Montoya, the self-confidence scale is that of Frendika, and the dependent variable scale of gender equality is taken from McKinsey Global Institute's (MGI's) Power of Parity. A five point-Likert rating scale (1=lowest – 5=highest) is applied for each item, and SPSS v 25 was applied to analyze the data collected using AMOS v 25. The result shows that personal branding which includes relevance, consistency, and visibility has a positive and significantly more dominant effect than self-confidence to bridge gender equality in the workplace.

Abstract
The effect of heat generation on heat and mass transfer over a radially stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with chemical reaction and activation energy are numerically discussed. The governing boundary layer equations are formulated and transformed into ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformation. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by applying the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with the shooting technique. The influence of the different parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration are discussed and analyzed. The skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are also computed and investigated for different embedded parameters in the problem statements.
Impact of injection temperature and formation slope on CO2 storage capacity and form in the Ordos Basin, China

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capacity is the main criterion for assessing CO2 geological storage. Based on actual data from the Shiqianfeng formation in the Ordos Basin, three-dimensional (3D) models were built using the TOUGHVISUAL visualization software and simulated using the TOUGH2 integral finite difference modeling code with the ECO2N fluid property module to explore the impact of formation attributes (formation slope) and controllable factors (injection temperature) on CO2 storage capacity. A total of 16 schemes were designed, with four injection temperatures (24℃, 31℃, 38℃ and 45℃) and four formation slopes (0°, 5°, 10° and 15°). Simulation results showed that the injection temperature and formation slope both had a significant influence on CO2 storage capacity. The impact of injection temperature on the total storage amount was more obvious than that of the impact of formation slope. A higher injection temperature resulted in a greater total storage amount. Increasing the formation slope and injection temperature increased the gas-phase, dissolved-phase and total CO2 storage amounts in the upper left section of the injection well, but decreased them in the lower right part of the injection well. The impact of formation slope on the conversion rate from gas-phase CO2 to dissolved-phase CO2 was more obvious than the impact of injection temperature. A steeper formation slope resulted in a higher conversion rate. A shallower formation slope and a higher injection temperature should be selected to store CO2.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Objective
To investigate the effect of resin cements on color stability and translucency of ceramic laminate veneer materials used for diastema closure.
Materials and Methods
Sixty resin abutments were prepared for ceramic veneers and divided into six groups according to the ceramic type (lithium disilicate, zirconia reinforced lithium silicate, and translucent zirconia) and cement type (Variolink Esthetic LC and RelyX Veneer). The color coordinates and translucency were analyzed after cementation and after immersion in coffee solution. The differences in color and translucency were estimated, and the results were statistically assessed (α = .05).
Results
Ceramic materials showed a significant impact on the color changes after coffee immersion within Variolink Esthetic groups. Zirconia showed the highest color change, followed by zirconia reinforced lithium silicate and lithium disilicate. The ceramic materials showed a significant impact among the RelyX Veneer groups. A significant interaction in color changes between ceramic type and cement type after cementation, and after coffee immersion were found. All groups showed a clinically acceptable difference in translucency parameters after coffee immersion.
Conclusions
Cement selection is important for the color stability and translucency of ceramic laminate veneers after coffee immersion. Lithium disilicate veneer is more resistant to coffee staining than zirconia reinforced lithium silicate and zirconia veneers. Ceramic laminate veneers cemented with resin cement contain benzoyl germanium compounds (Variolink Esthetic) are more translucency. However, ceramic laminate veneers cemented using resin cement contain iodonium salts (RelyX Veneer) are more resistant to coffee immersion.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop dual segmentation models for poorly and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), using two-step transfer learning (TSTL) based on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) computed tomography (CT) images.Methods: From 2013 to 2019, DCE CT images of 128 patients with 80 poorly differentiated and 48 well-differentiated HCCs were selected at our hospital. In the first transfer learning (TL) step, a pre-trained segmentation model with 192 CT images of lung cancer patients was retrained as a poorly differentiated HCC model. In the second TL step, a well-differentiated HCC model was built from a poorly differentiated HCC model. The average 3D Dice’s similarity coefficient (3D-DSC) and 95th-percentile of the Hausdorff distance (95% HD) were employed to evaluate the segmentation accuracy, based on a nested 4-fold cross-validation test. The DSC denotes the degree of regional similarity between the HCC reference regions and the regions estimated using the proposed models. The 95% HD is defined as the 95th-percentile of the maximum measures of how far two subsets of a metric space are from each other. Results: The average 3D-DSC and 95% HD were 0.849 ± 0.078 and 1.98 ± 0.71 mm, respectively, for poorly differentiated HCC regions, and 0.811 ± 0.089 and 2.01 ± 0.84 mm, respectively, for well-differentiated HCC regions. The average 3D-DSC for both regions was 1.2 times superior to that calculated without the TSTL. Conclusion: The proposed model using TSTL from the lung cancer dataset showed the potential to segment poorly and well-differentiated HCC regions on DCE CT images.
The Impact of Couple Communication Patterns on Fertility-related Stress and Psychological Capital in Women with OHSS after Embryo Transfer
Authors: Wu Weili , Zhou Na , Yang Lili , He Ying 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Aims
To examine the association between couple communication patterns, psychological capital, and fertility-related stress. Also, to explore mediating effect of communication patterns on the relationship between psychological capital and fertility-related stress among patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after an embryo transfer in China.
Background
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a severe complication of the superovulation procedure. It can cause severe discomfort, infertility, and uncertainty about a successful pregnancy. Moreover, these unfavorable conditions are a source of intense stress for the patients and negatively impact their mental and emotional state and effective communication. These three patterns that regulate the fertility-related stress levels in women with OHSS remained understudied.
Design:
This study used a cross-sectional design.
Methods
We recruited 175 patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after an embryo transfer for a survey in a reproductive ward of a tertiary hospital in China. This study used the questionnaires on Psychological capital, the Fertility stress scale (FPI), and couples' communication patterns to collect the data. A structural equation model analyzed the mediating effect of a couple of communication patterns. A Strobe checklist was used to guide the reporting of this study.
Results
A combination of low levels of psychological capital and requested avoidance/complete avoidance communication patterns were associated with high levels of fertility-related stress (139.6 ± 25.71) among participants. Psychological capital was negatively correlated with fertility-related stress. And then, requested/completed communication had a significant positive effect on the stress, but constructive communication had no relationship with the stress. In addition, the requested avoidance communication pattern had a negative mediating effect between psychological capital and fertility-related stress in patients with OHSS (95% CI − 0.207, − 0.005).
Conclusion
A couple's communication patterns and the levels of psychological capital of patients with OHSS can partly predict fertility-related stress. While requested avoidance in couple communication can, the level of psychological capital of the patient with OHSS after an embryo transfer contributed to their excessive fertility-related stress. Health workers may reduce their stress by addressing negative communication styles.
Determinants of health insurance enrollment and health expenditure in Ghana: An empirical analysis
Authors: Adjei-Mantey Kwame , Horioka Charles Yuji 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of health insurance enrollment and health expenditure in Ghana using micro data from wave 7 of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS 7) with emphasis on the role of risk preferences and the availability of health facilities in one’s own community. It is possible to analyze the determinants of health insurance enrollment in Ghana because its public health insurance system (the National Health Insurance Scheme or NHIS) is, in theory, mandatory, but is, in actual practice, voluntary, with only about 40% of the population enrolled in the scheme. Our empirical findings show that risk preferences have a significant impact on health insurance enrollment, with risk averse individuals being significantly more likely than other households to enroll in health insurance. Moreover, our findings also show that very poor households are significantly more likely to enroll in health insurance than other households, perhaps because they are exempt from paying premiums for health insurance. Finally, our findings also show that the availability of health facilities in one’s own community significantly decreases expenditures on health care.Journal of Economic Literature classification codes: D11, D12, D81, I12, and I13
DNetPRO: A network approach for low-dimensional signatures from high-throughput data
Authors: Curti Nico , Levi Giuseppe , Giampieri Enrico , Castellani Gastone , Remondini Daniel 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
One of the main objectives of high-throughput genomics studies is to obtain a low-dimensional set of observables - a signature - for sample classification purposes (diagnosis, prognosis, stratification). We propose DNetPRO, Discriminant Analysis with Network PROcessing, a supervised network-based signature identification method. The algorithm is easily scalable, allowing efficient computing for high number of observables (103 –105). We show applications on real high-throughput genomic datasets in which our method outperforms existing results or is compatible with them, but with a smaller number of selected features. Moreover, the geometrical simplicity of the resulting class-separation surfaces allows a clearer interpretation of the obtained signatures in comparison to nonlinear classification models.
Vortex-electromagnetic-wave-based ISAR imaging for high-speed maneuvering targets
Authors: Bu Lijun , Zhu Yongzhong , Chen Yijun , Yang Yufei , Zang Yadan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Vortex electromagnetic wave (VEMW) carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), which is expected to introduce additional degrees of freedom in inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) imaging. However, the current research about maneuvering targets is based on the "stop go" hypothesis, which does not apply to high-speed motion scenarios due to the intrapulse movement of the target. To improve the imaging quality, this letter proposes a VEMW-based high-speed maneuvering targets imaging method. Firstly, the ISAR imaging scenario of high-speed target is established. According to the spatial geometric relationship between radar and maneuvering target, the vortex echo is deduced and its characteristics are analyzed. Subsequently, a frequency modulation rate estimation method considering both calculation efficiency and high precision is proposed to realize the accurate estimation of target speed. Then, an adaptive azimuth image compensation method based on minimum entropy is proposed. Through the setting of threshold, the number of component signals in linear frequency modulation(LFM) signal is determined and compensated successively. Finally, the range profile and azimuth profile are combined to reconstruct the three-dimensional information. The simulation results demonstrate that this work can effectively eliminate the influence of high-speed motion on range and azimuth profile, also benefit the development of ISAR imaging technique of high-speed maneuvering targets.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Extrusion, a physical pretreatment, is normally used for the pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials to improve biogas production. Wheat straw (WS) and its solid digestate (WSD) were selected to evaluate the effect of extrusion on the biogas production of lignocellulosic materials with different compositions. The WS and WSD were extruded and then used for biogas production at (37 ± 1)°C. The results showed that the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents of WS and WSD were 28.37%, 24.60%, 14.35% and 30.20%, 24.73%, 21.58%, respectively, while the cumulative biogas yields of WS and WSD were 178.96 and 56.68 mL/g TSadded (Total solid, TS), respectively, indicating that the biogas yield is proportional to the lignin content of the substrate. After extrusion, the cumulative biogas yields of WS and WSD were increased by 22.55% and 152.33%, respectively, while the cumulative methane yields of WS and WSD were increased by 27.01% and 191.58%, respectively, compared to the unextruded biomass. The results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and specific surface area (SSA) indicate that the lignocellulose structure in WSD suffered greater destruction and the improvement in the SSA in WSD was 51.89-percentage point higher than that in the WS pretreated by extrusion. The above results indicate that destruction of the lignocellulose structure by extrusion pretreatment differs between lignocellulosic materials, and the lignocellulose structure of materials with higher lignin content is more effectively destroyed. In summary, extrusion is a promising pretreatment technology for lignocellulosic materials, especially for feedstocks with higher lignocellulose content.
How aestivation evolve in turtles? a macroevolutionary and morphological approach
Authors: Macip-Ríos Rodrigo , Butterfield Taggert , Raya-García Ernesto 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Apart from hibernation, dormancy strategies in animals have been understudied. Aestivation is a functional and behavioral trait that responds to the effects of water reduction during dry and hot seasons. It has been detected in many species of terrestrial and aquatic turtles, however, several ecological and evolutionary aspects of chelonian aestivation remain to be evaluated and understood. We conducted a comparative exploration of macroevolutionary trends in turtle aestivation and tested the potential effect of shell morphology on the aestivation times. We compiled a dataset of aestivation status, aestivation times, and measurements of shell morphology of 225 turtle species. We reconstructed ancestral states along a time-calibrated phylogeny and tested different models with compared evolutionary rate changes on traits associated with aestivation. We also performed phylogenetic comparative analysis to explore shell morphological variables likely associated with maximum and mean aestivation times. We found evidence of aestivation in 44 percent of the evaluated turtle species. The longest aestivation times were found in the Chelidae, Pelomedusidae, Geoemydidae, and Kinosternidae, and shortest times were detected for Emydidae and Testudinidae. Inference of ancestral states revealed that turtle aestivation is a derived trait with multiple evolutions in the two major turtle clades. We found clade-specific evolutionary trends, with some clades showing increased aestivation (e.g., Pelomedusidae and Kinosternidae), clades exhibiting aestivation losses (e.g., Podocnemididae and Trionychidae) and contrasting patterns (loss vs. maintenance) in most clades of Testudinidae and Geoemydidae families. Otherwise, additive effects of different shell morphological variables correlated both positively and negatively with maximum aestivation times across most chelonian families. This is the first study exploring the evolution of aestivation in turtles and provides evidence that shell morphology in different chelonian families can influence aestivation time. We conclude that aestivation in turtles is a complex ecological and evolutionary process which needs to be studied in more detail.
Pbx(OH)y cluster formation in STI framework-type zeolites: anomalous thermal behaviour and increased thermal stability

Published: June 2022

Abstract
For the first time, the structural investigation of a Pb-exchanged zeolite (Pb13.4(OH)10Al17.4Si54.6O144 ∙38H2O) with STI framework type, revealed a highly unusual and intriguing sudden volume increase under continuous heating. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms leading to such an unusual behaviour is essential for technological applications and interpretation of chemical bonding in zeolites. The dehydration was tracked in situ from 25 to 450 °C by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Further interpretation of the experimental observations was supported by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Initially, Pb-STI unit-cell volume contracts (ΔV = -3.5%) from 25 to 100°C. This agrees with the trend observed in STI zeolites. Surprisingly, at 125°C, the framework expanded (ΔV = +2%), adopting a configuration, which resembles that of the room temperature structure. Upon heating, the structure loses H2O but no de-hydroxylation occurred. The key mechanism leading to the sudden volume increase was found to be the formation of Pbx(OH)y clusters, which prevent the shrinking of the channels, rupture of the tetrahedral bonds and occlusion of the pores. This zeolite has therefore an increased thermal stability with respect to other STI metal-exchanged zeolites, with important consequences on its applications.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the impact of different electronical-relaxation devices on common patients’ stressful symptoms experienced in Intensive-Care-Unit (ICU).Methods: Sixty critically-ill patients were enrolled in four relaxation-sessions using a randomized cross-over design: standard-relaxation (TV/radio), music-therapy (MUSIC-CARE©), and two virtual-reality systems using either real-motion pictures (DEEPSEN©) or synthetic-motion pictures (HEALTHY-MIND©). The goal was to determine which device was the best to improve overall patient discomfort’s intensity (0-10 Numeric-Rating-Scale (NRS); primary endpoint). Secondary endpoints were specific stressful symptoms (pain, anxiety, dyspnea, thirst, and lack-of-rest-feeling), and stress-response measured by Analgesia/Nociception-Index (ANI). Multivariate mixed-effect analysis was used taking into account patient’s characteristics and multiple measurements.Results: Fifty patients followed the full research-protocol, and ten patients did at least one research-planned session of relaxation. HEALTHY-MIND© was associated with a significant decrease of overall discomfort, the primary endpoint (median NRS=4[2-6] vs. 2[0-5]; p=0.01, mixed-effect model), confirmed by a significant decrease of stress-response (increase of ANI, secondary endpoint; p<0.01). Regarding other secondary endpoints, each of the two virtual-reality systems was associated with a decrease of anxiety (p<0,01), while HEALTHY-MIND© was associated also with a decrease of pain (p=0.001) and DEEPSEN© with a decrease of lack-of-rest (p=0.01). Three incidents (claustrophobia/dyspnea/agitation) were reported among 109 virtual-reality sessions. Cybersickness was rare (NRS=0[0-0]).Conclusion: Electronical relaxation therapy is a promising, safe and effective non-pharmacological solution that can be used to improve overall discomfort in ICU patients. Its effectiveness depends on technical characteristics (real or synthetic imagined world, association or not with music-therapy), as well as the type of symptoms.
