AbstractThis paper describes the development of novel/state-of-art computational framework to accurately predict the degree of binder activity of a reclaimed asphalt pavement sample as a percentage of the indirect tensile strength (ITS) using a reduced number of input variables that are relatively easy to obtain, namely compaction temperature, air voids and ITS. Different machine learning (ML) techniques were applied to obtain the most accurate data representation model. Specifically, three ML techniques were applied: 6th-degree multivariate polynomial regression with regularization, artificial neural network and random forest regression. The three techniques produced models with very similar precision, reporting a mean absolute error ranging from 12.2 to 12.8% of maximum ITS on the test data set. The work presented in this paper is an evolution in terms of data analysis of the results obtained within the interlaboratory tests conducted by Task Group 5 of the RILEM Technical Committee 264 on Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement. Hence, despite it has strong bonds with this framework, this work was developed independently and can be considered as a natural follow-up.

Published: April 2022

AbstractMortar in masonry structures can be subjected to both uniaxial and triaxial loading. Determining the mechanical properties and/or failure criteria of the commonly used mortar is necessary for the structural performance assessment of new and existing masonry buildings using non-destructive testing and/or finite element modelling methods. In this paper, the stress–strain behaviour of a commercially available cement-lime mortar is investigated under uniaxial and triaxial loading. The axial compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, Mohr–Coulomb failure envelopes of the mortar are determined over a range of conditions. Mortar specimens were prepared with a water to cementitious material ratio (w/cm) of 0.6–0.7 and were tested at curing ages of 3, 7, 14, and 28 days, under confining pressures of 0, 100, 250, 500 and 750 kPa. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of the specimens were measured before the destructive testing. The results indicate that the influence of curing age and confining pressure on the axial compressive strength of the mortar can be predicted using proposed linear correlations between (i) The confining pressure and the axial compressive strength and (ii) The UPV and the axial compressive strength. From the test results, the strength parameters of the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion were also determined. It is observed that cohesion is more sensitive to changes in curing age and w/cm than the friction angle, which varied between 32 and 33 degrees.

Published: April 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Life Space Assessment (LSA) in older adults.
Methods: A hundred fifty-two elderly people with a mean age was 72.81±7.63 years recruited to the study. Following the forward-backward translation procedure, the LSA scores were compared with a number of mobility and general health related variables, including the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to test the concurrent validity.
Results: None of the items in the LSA were changed. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.714 for the initial evaluation. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the test-retest reliability was 0.991 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.986–0.994. It found that the highest consistence was obtained in the equipment scores. All the subscores of LSA found to have a significant relationship with PASE scores and SF-36 subscores. A very strong positive correlation found between the total score of LSA and PASE (r = 0.896). Similarly, a very strong correlation observed between SF-36's subscore physical function, and LSA composite score (r = 0.841). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the Turkish version of LSA has strong measurement features and that the LSA is a sensitive tool for assessing the life domains of elderly individuals related to their general health and physical activity level. Therefore, the Turkish version of the LSA could be used as a reliable and valid scale in research and practice areas related to elderly people.
Data Privacy Concerns Using mHealth Apps and Smart Speakers: Comparative Interview Study Among Mature Adults
Authors: Schroeder Tanja , Haug Maximilian , Gewald Heiko 
Published: April 2022

Background
New technologies such as mobile health (mHealth) apps and smart speakers make intensive use of sensitive personal data. Users are typically aware of this and express concerns about their data privacy. However, many people use these technologies although they think their data are not well protected. This raises specific concerns for sensitive health data.

Objective
This study aimed to contribute to a better understanding of data privacy concerns of mature adults using new technologies and provide insights into their data privacy expectations and associated risks and the corresponding actions of users in 2 different data contexts: mHealth apps and smart speakers.

Methods
This exploratory research adopted a qualitative approach, engaging with 20 mature adults (aged >45 years). In a 6-month test period, 10 (50%) participants used a smart speaker and 10 (50%) participants used an mHealth app. In interviews conducted before and after the test period, we assessed the influence of data privacy concerns on technology acceptance, use behavior, and continued use intention.

Results
Our results show that although participants are generally aware of the need to protect their data privacy, they accept the risk of misuse of their private data when using the technology. Surprisingly, the most frequently stated risk was not the misuse of personal health data but the fear of receiving more personalized advertisements. Similarly, surprisingly, our results indicate that participants value recorded verbal data higher than personal health data.

Conclusions
Older adults are initially concerned about risks to their data privacy associated with using data-intensive technologies, but those concerns diminish fairly quickly, culminating in resignation. We find that participants do not differentiate between risky behaviors, depending on the type of private data used by different technologies.

Authors: Park Christine , Jeong Hyeon Ki , Henao Ricardo , Kheterpal Meenal 
Published: April 2022

Background
Deidentifying facial images is critical for protecting patient anonymity in the era of increasing tools for automatic image analysis in dermatology.

Objective
The aim of this paper was to review the current literature in the field of automatic facial deidentification algorithms.

Methods
We conducted a systematic search using a combination of headings and keywords to encompass the concepts of facial deidentification and privacy preservation. The MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase (via Elsevier), and Web of Science (via Clarivate) databases were queried from inception to May 1, 2021. Studies of incorrect design and outcomes were excluded during the screening and review process.

Results
A total of 18 studies reporting on various methodologies of facial deidentification algorithms were included in the final review. The study methods were rated individually regarding their utility for use cases in dermatology pertaining to skin color and pigmentation preservation, texture preservation, data utility, and human detection. Most studies that were notable in the literature addressed feature preservation while sacrificing skin color and texture.

Conclusions
Facial deidentification algorithms are sparse and inadequate for preserving both facial features and skin pigmentation and texture quality in facial photographs. A novel approach is needed to ensure greater patient anonymity, while increasing data access for automated image analysis in dermatology for improved patient care.

Authors: Cao Li , Chongsuvivatwong Virasakdi , McNeil Edward B 
Published: April 2022

Background
Mobile health (mHealth) apps have become part of the infrastructure for access to health care in hospitals, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the effects of sociodemographic characteristics on the digital divide regarding the use of hospital-based mHealth apps and their benefits to patients and caregivers.

Objective
The aim of this study was to document the cascade of potential influences from digital access to digital use and then to mHealth use, as well as the potential influence of sociodemographic variables on elements of the cascade.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to February 2021 among adult clients at outpatient departments in 12 tertiary hospitals of Inner Mongolia, China. Structural equation modeling was conducted after the construct comprising digital access, digital use, and mHealth use was validated.

Results
Of 2115 participants, the β coefficients (95% CI) of potential influence of digital access on digital use, and potential influence of digital use on mHealth use, were 0.28 (95% CI 0.22-0.34) and 0.51 (95% CI 0.38-0.64), respectively. Older adults were disadvantaged with regard to mHealth access and use (β=–0.38 and β=–0.41), as were less educated subgroups (β=–0.24 and β=–0.27), and these two factors had nonsignificant direct effects on mHealth use.

Conclusions
To overcome the mHealth use divide, it is important to improve digital access and digital use among older adults and less educated groups.
POTENTIAL FOR CO2 EMISSIONS IN TRANSPORTATION SECTOR AND REDUCTION STRATEGIES ANALYSIS RELATED TO GREENHOUSE GAS IN SEMARANG
Authors: Sofaniadi Safrinal , Purwanto P. , Riyanto B 
Published: April 2022

Semarang is the capital of Central Java Province and also one of the metropolitan city in Indonesia with population of 1,559,198 (Semarang in Number 2012). The high number of population and economic growth has an attraction for the community activities in Semarang and surrounding. Moreover, with the spatial planning concept which provide residential areas and commercial activities and services spread all over Semarang, it increase the distance and activities needs. One of the most influenced sectors with the increasing activities is the transportation sector. It can be seen by the increasing number of private vehicles and congestion in almost all main roads. In the Climate Change issue, one of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contributor is the transport sector. Based on Semarang in Number 2012, with the year 2010 as a base line for emission count, it showed that the number of private car as many as 33,523 vehicles, oplet/microbus 859 vehicles, motor bikes 119,019 vehicles, buses 443 vehicles, trucks 913 vehicles and taxi as many as 1,265 vehicles. These numbers of vehicles was served by 2,786.28 kilometers of road which consists of national, provincial and municipal road, and also by the local road for about 2,691 kilometers. The total fuel consumption for the activities of those vehicles is 302,928.00 litre of Premium and 154,925,500 litre of solar. From the data presented,we calculated that the CO2 Emissions is 111,020,367 ton CO2e. From the data above, private cars and motorcycles reached 97% of the total transportation used in Semarang. With a considerable amount of transportation emission of 1,110,204 ton CO2e, the effect on climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) are quite high. Therefore,Semarang city needs a sustainable transportation strategy to reduce emission form the transport sector, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operation, use of fuel gas, and integrated public transportation systems that will make people interested in using public transportation. From the operations of BRT system in Semarang, with three corridors from 2010- 2014, as many as 9,169,925 people are served by BRT (Dishubkominfo, 2014). Seeing from this condition, the need to increase integrated transportation system to decrease people from using private vehicles which in turn reduce CO2 emissions in Semarang become increasingly important.
An Experimental Analytical and In Vitro Approach to Bridge Between Different Heated Tobacco Product Variants

Published: April 2022

Summary
Tobacco heating products (THPs) have reduced toxicant emissions relative to cigarettes. THPs are continually evolving, but safety and efficacy studies on each new variant involve considerable resources. As employed by the pharmaceutical industry, a “bridging” process could be used to demonstrate product equivalence.
Therefore, we investigated the feasibility of a bridging approach by evaluating aerosol emissions and in vitro cytotoxicity of five variant THPs in relation to a base product. All products were compared to a reference cigarette and a commercial benchmark. Relative to smoke, chemical reductions in THP aerosols were comparable among the THPs at 94–97%. The aerosols showed similar cytotoxicity in human lung tissues exposed at the air-liquid interface (p = 0.8378) but were significantly less toxic than smoke (p = 0.04). Relative to the THP benchmark, variant THPs showed lower cytotoxicity (p = 0.0141). Emissions and cytotoxicity data demonstrated that the variant THPs were comparable to the base THP, irrespective of consumable format or flavour. This dataset demonstrates the feasibility of a bridging approach and can inform an evidence-based strategy in developing sufficient data to predict similarity against an already established dataset. Therefore, avoiding repetition of vast data generation could ease authorisation requirements of newer products. Finally, we propose that more work is required to understand chemical, biological (in vitro), human consumption, and clinical data before the equivalence of these products (and others) can be definitively demonstrated. Future studies maybe needed to assess additional chemical and biological outputs and all data will need to be contextualised against human consumption data in terms of a bridging framework.
Does the Level of NNK in Tobacco and Tobacco Products Depend on the Level of Pseudooxynicotine or of Nicotine-1′-N-Oxide?
Authors: Ji Huihua , Moldoveanu Serban C. 
Published: April 2022

Summary
4-(N’-methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potentially carcinogenic tobacco specific nitrosamine (TSNA) and an important compound in the Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents (HPHCs) list of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For this reason, significant effort is being made for an understanding of the formation of this compound and for the reduction of its level in tobacco products. Formation of NNK is assumed to be the result of nitrosation of 4-(methylamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (pseudooxynicotine or PON). Present study evaluated the correlation between the levels of NNK and those of PON in a variety of tobaccos and tobacco products. Since nicotine-1′-N-oxide can be involved in the formation of PON, the correlation of the levels of this compound with the levels of NNK was also evaluated. Two original methods were developed for the quantitation of PON in tobacco and tobacco products and a well-established method has been used for the analysis of NNK. The correlation between the levels of NNK with that of PON was proven to be very poor. The same result was obtained for the correlation between NNK levels and nicotine-1′-N-oxide. This indicated that a higher level of PON or of nicotine-1′-N-oxide in tobacco or tobacco products does not lead to a higher level of NNK. The study does not prove that NNK in tobacco or tobacco products is not generated via PON, but it demonstrated that the limiting factor in the formation of NNK in tobacco and tobacco products is not the level of PON or that of nicotine-1′-N-oxide, and other factors are responsible for the effectiveness of NNK formation.

Authors: Ilkeli Ekin 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Aim
This study evaluates cancer patients undergoing port catheter implantation.

Patients and methods
The study was conducted among patients admitted to the cardiovascular department of Düzce State Hospital from June 2018 to July 2020. The inclusion criterion was the implantation of a vascular port for at during 2 years. One hundred and two patients were enrolled in the study. The most common acute outcomes such as pneumothorax, haemothorax, thoracic duct damage and cardiac tamponade and the demographic characteristics of all patients were recorded. Patients were evaluated for the late complications of port catheter, such as thrombosis, infection and kinking, catheter fracture and occlusion.

Results
Complications of port catheter occurred early (≤30 days) and delayed (>30 days) at rates of up to 8% and 15%, respectively. The most common early and late complications were pneumothorax and non-functional port (occlusion, thrombosis, kinking), respectively.

Conclusions
Thrombosis is the most common cause of dysfunction in central port catheters used in the treatment of cancer patients. Routine radiological imaging can help in early detection of catheter-related complications.
A novel approach to capture the similarity in summarized text using embedded model
Authors: Mishra Asha Rani , Panchal V.K. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The presence of near duplicate textual content imposes great challenges while extracting information from it. To handle these challenges, detection of near duplicates is a prime research concern. Existing research mostly uses text clustering, classification and retrieval algorithms for detection of near duplicates. Text summarization, an important tool of text mining, is not explored yet for the detection of near duplicates. Instead of using the whole document, the proposed method uses its summary as it saves both time and storage. Experimental results show that traditional similarity algorithms were able to capture similarity relatedness to a great extent even on the summarized text with a similarity score of 44.685%. Moreover, degree of similarity capture was greater (0.52%) in case of use of embedding models with better text representation as compared to traditional methods. Also, this paper highlights the research status of various similarity measures in terms of concept involved, merits and demerits.
Description of Boleodorus bushehrensis n. sp. (Rhabditida: Tylenchidae) from Southern Iran, and Observations on a Commonly Known Species

Published: April 2022

Abstract
A new species of the genus Boleodorus, recovered from southern Iran, is described and illustrated based upon morphological and molecular data. B. bushehrensis n. sp. is mainly characterized by having a wide and low cephalic region (which is continuous with the adjacent body), the oral aperture in a depression in side view under a light microscope, four lines in the lateral field, weak metacorpus with a vestigial-to-invisible valve, and short (26–38 mm long) hooked tail with rounded tip. The females are 334–464 mm long and have a spherical spermatheca filled with spheroid sperm; males have 11.5- to 12.0-mm-long spicules and weakly developed bursa. The new species has an annulated low cephalic region, four large cephalic papillae, and small crescent-shaped amphidial openings when observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its morphological and morphometric differences with seven known species are discussed. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species with other relevant genera and species have been studied using partial sequences of small and large subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU rDNA). In both the SSU and LSU phylogenies, the sequences of B. bushehrensis n. sp. and other Boleodorus spp. formed a clade. A second species, B. thylactus, when studied under SEM, has a raised, smooth cephalic region, four large cephalic papillae, and oblique amphidial slits, with the oral opening in a depression.
2019 European Parliament Election in Poland: who benefitted from the record increase in turnout?
Authors: Skorupska Magdalena 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
One of the main factors that determines voter turnout is the mobilisation of the constituency of a given party compared with that of its opponents. The turnout in the 2019 European Parliament election in Poland was twice what it had been in previous years, and the result was forecast accordingly. The media initially reported that the victorious PiS had benefitted from new votes. The present article shows that drilling down to the lowest level of administrative unit (viz. the gmina) actually reveals a negative correlation between higher frequency and increased support for PiS in many cases. This implies that PiS did not win solely as a result of new voters being mobilised, but also, and perhaps predominantly, because KE voters switched their allegiance to PiS. Many new voters actually voted for the opposition.
