“And a huge factor is …, the people around them”: Sources of information about COVID-19 vaccines among migrants in Australia.
Authors: Pourmarzi Davoud , Fitzpatrick Petya , Lambert Stephen 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
To empower all members of society to protect their health, they should have access to accurate and timely information about COVID-19 vaccines. This study aimed to explore the information sources migrants used to learn about COVID-19 vaccines.
Methods
Seventeen adults living in Australia and born in the World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean Region participated in a semi-structured interview via telephone. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
Results
Migrants used a variety of sources of information including official organisations and health professionals, social media and personal networks and experiential. They emphasised the importance of personal networks and the reliability of the information collected from experiencing or witnessing COVID-19 vaccine outcomes in shaping their understanding of the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccines.
Conclusion
Strategies need to be designed to provide accurate information about COVID-19 vaccines through personal networks including engament of community leaders to share accurate experiential information in all stages of the vaccination program. Routine information needs assessment and understanding migrants’ information gathering capacity can be helpful in communicating information about COVID-19 vaccines or other pandemic strategies in the future.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Near-surface axial tensile residual stresses (from manufacturing) are reportedly detrimental to the yield strength of cold-drawn wires. Therefore, a reliable evaluation of their magnitude is necessary. The size and geometry of electrical wires can pose challenges for experimental measurement of those residual stresses. For that reason, the finite element analysis can prove useful. However, great care must be taken with the right choice of strain hardening law for a sound assessment of residual stresses. Given the complex loading condition during cold drawing, cyclic loading arises through the wire cross section even in single-pass drawing. As a result, it is of crucial importance to account for associated backstresses. The current study makes a comparison between two different hardening laws’ prediction of axial residual stress profiles in numerically cold-drawn Cu-Al composite wires of various Al volume fractions. The impact of die geometry on this prediction was also examined for a 25%Al-wire. To that end, a combined isotropic-kinematic law and a pure isotropic constitutive equation were considered. The results imply a possible overestimation of residual stresses by the pure isotropic model at relatively low Al volume fractions. The difference between the maximum magnitudes of tensile or compressive residual stresses (predicted by the two models) could be as large as about 100 MPa (larger than the yield strength of the starting materials). Furthermore, the tooling geometry minimally affects the prediction of the hardening models. In conclusion, backstresses are not to be overlooked for accurate estimations of drawing residual stresses at low Al volume fractions.
The Association Between Financial Hardship and Markers of Inflammation: A Cross-Sectional Study of the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) Refresher Cohort
Authors: Surachman Agus , Tucker-Seeley Reginald , Almeida David 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Measures of financial hardship have been suggested to supplement traditional measures of socioeconomic status (SES) to elucidate household economic well-being. This study formally tested the construct validity of the financial hardship construct and examined its association with markers of inflammation.
Methods
This study utilized data from 863 respondents from the Midlife Development in the United States Refresher Study (MIDUS-R) who completed the biomarker assessment (ages 25–76, mean age = 50.8; 52% female; 69% non-Hispanic white). Analysis for this study was divided into three steps. First, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), we examined if the three-domain factor (material, psychological, and behavioral) is the best fitting model for financial hardship measures. Second, we conducted confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the second-order measurement model of financial hardship with a three-factor first-order domain (material, psychological, and behavioral). Finally, we tested the association between the latent factor of financial hardship and interleukin 6 (IL6), c-reactive protein (CRP), and fibrinogen.
Results
Results from EFA supported the three-domain model of financial hardship. The hypothesized second-order measurement model for the three-domain model of financial hardship met the overall goodness-of-fit criteria (χ2 = 35.50, df = 11, RMSEA = 0.05; CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; SRMR = 0.02). Finally, higher financial hardship was significantly associated with IL6 and fibrinogen but not CRP.
Conclusion
Explicating the socioeconomic environment to include indicators of financial hardship can help researchers better understand the pathway between SES and the inflammation process, which may help elucidate pathways between SES and age-related chronic diseases associated with inflammation.
A Numerical Example of Russell's Paradox and Its Novel Geometric Properties
Authors: Pan Xiandi 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
I found that its length is neither changed nor unchanged if an endpoint of a line segment is cut off and hypothesized that a line is not composed of points in primary school. Similar findings and hypotheses about plane and space were obtained in middle and high school. An example of Russell's paradox with positive integers - ∅Pan -which I wrote out in the first year of university solved these problems unexpectedly. ∅Pan is a set group that all its sets are mutually included. By marking each set in ∅Pan with line, plane and space, I got ∅line, ∅plane, and ∅space, respectively. These geometric set groups have remarkable properties that lines are mutually included and mutually iterated in ∅line, and the same as planes in ∅plane and spaces in ∅space. Visualization models for ∅line through cross-composing timelines, for ∅plane through cross-monitoring screens, and for ∅space through cross-sharing cyberspaces were finally established when I was pursuing my doctoral degree. These results demonstrate that sets can mutually include and geometries can mutually iterate. I anticipate the present paper to be a starting point for a novel kind of set group and algebraic geometry.

Abstract
Background: The use of kidneys from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) to expand the donor pool is an ongoing trend. Prior research on the utilization of AKI donor kidneys, especially from pediatric AKI donors, was limited and has been subject to small sample sizes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of early post-transplantation outcomes in pediatric deceased donors with AKI.
Methods: This retrospective study compared the clinical results (including delayed graft function [DGF], acute rejection, patient and death-censored graft survival rates and renal function post-transplant) of kidney transplantation from deceased donors who were categorized as pediatric donors and adult donors with or without AKI, as defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KIDGO) criteria, at our center between January 2018 and December 2020.
Results: Of the 740 patients, 154 received kidneys from pediatric donors (with AKI group [n=41]; without AKI group [n=113]), and 586 received kidneys from adult donors (with AKI group [n=218]; without AKI group [n=368]). The baseline characteristics were similar in both cohorts. No significant difference was observed in 1-year patient survival, death-censored graft survival, or acute rejection between the AKI and non-AKI groups in both the pediatric and adult cohorts. However, compared with those transplanted with adult AKI kidneys, those transplanted with pediatric AKI kidneys showed a superior recovery of allograft function. In pediatric cohorts, no significant difference was found in serum creatinine/estimated glomerular filtration rate (SCr/eGFR) between the AKI and non-AKI groups, even in the first week post-transplant. In contrast, the post-transplant SCr/eGFR level of the AKI group recipients in adult cohorts did not recover to a level statistically similar to that of non-AKI recipients, even at 6-months post-transplant. Nonetheless, AKI kidney recipients were at an increased risk of DGF in both pediatric (34.1% vs. 16.8%) and adult (38.5% vs. 17.4%) cohorts.
Conclusions: Kidney transplantation from deceased donors with AKI has short-term clinical outcomes comparable to those of non-AKI kidney transplantation. Pediatric AKI kidneys have a superior recovery of allograft function. The transplant community should utilize this donor pool to minimize waiting-list-related mortalities.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
By first-principles total-energy calculations, we investigated the thermodynamic stability of the MAX solid solution MoxV4−xAlC3 in the 0 ≤ x ≤ 4 range. Results evidence that lattice parameter a increases as a function of Mo content, while the c parameter reaches its maximum expansion at x = 2.5. After that, a contraction is noticed. Mo occupies VI sites randomly until the out-of-plane ordered Mo2V2AlC3 alloy is formed. We employed the defect formation energy formalism (DFE) to evaluate the thermodynamic stability of the alloys. Calculations show five stable compounds. At V-rich conditions and from Mo-rich to Mo-moderated conditions, the pristine V4AlC3 MAX is stable. In the region of V-poor conditions, from Mo-rich to Mo-moderated growth conditions, the solid solutions with x = 0.5, 1, and 1.5 and the o-MAX Mo2V2AlC3 are thermodynamically stable. The line profiles of the Electron Localization Function and Bader charge analysis show that the V-C interaction is mainly ionic, while the Mo-C is covalent. Also, the exfoliation energy to obtain a MXene layer is ~ 0.4 eV/Å2. DFE also shows that MXenes exfoliated from the MAX phase with the same Mo content and atomic arrangement are thermodynamically stable. Our results get a deeper atomic scale understanding of the experimental evidence by Pinto and coworkers [J. Mater. Chem. A 8 (2020) 8957].
A Novel Approach for Software Defect Prediction using CNN and GRU Based on SMOTE Tomek Method
Authors: Khleel Nasraldeen 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Software defect prediction (SDP) plays an important role in enhancing the quality of software projects and reducing maintenance-based risks through the ability to detect defective software components. SDP refers to the methods that use historical defect data to build the relationship between software metrics and software defects. Several prediction models such as machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) have been developed and adopted to recognize defect in software modules and many methodologies and frameworks have been presented. One of the most difficult problems that these models face in binary classification is the classes imbalance. When the distribution of classes is unbalanced, the accuracy may be high, but the model cannot recognize data instances in the minority class, this will lead to weak classifications. So far, few research have been done in the previous studies that address the problem of class imbalance in SDP. To address the class imbalance problem, we propose a novel SDP approach based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) combined with synthetic minority oversampling technique plus Tomek link (SMOTE Tomek). To establish the efficiency of the proposed models, the experiments have been conducted on benchmark datasets which obtained from the PROMISE repository and the experimental results have been compared and evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, f-measure, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), the area under the precision-recall curve (AUCPR), mean square error (MSE). The average accuracy of the proposed models on the original datasets were 89% for CNN and 87% for GRU, while the average accuracy of the proposed models on the balanced datasets were 94% for CNN and 92% for GRU. The results showed that the proposed models on the balanced datasets improves the average accuracy by 5% for both models compared to original datasets. This indicates the positive effects of combining ML techniques with data balancing methods on the performance of defect prediction regarding datasets with imbalanced class distributions.
The quantification of 3D-trabecular architecture of the fourth cervical vertebra using CT osteoabsorptiometry and micro-CT
Authors: Poilliot Amélie , Gay Max , Müller-Gerbl Magdalena 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Bone functional adaptation rationalizes the inhomogeneous morphology found in bone. By means of computed tomography osteoabsorptiometry and micro-computed tomography, the mineralisation of the subchondral endplates and trabecular microstructure of vertebral bodies can be assessed to visualise the chronic loading conditions bone endures over time. In this study, we determined cancellous and compartment-specific trabecular architecture in the cervical vertebra to aid with successful integration of orthopaedic implants.
Methods
We examined the micro-computed tomography scans of seven prospectively healthy C4 vertebrae, evaluated their microstructure parameters (bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone surface density (BS/BV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number per volume (Tb.N), connectivity density (Conn.D), structure model index (SMI), and degree of anisotropy (DA), and compared the trabecular architecture in twelve predefined volumes of interest; the cranial and caudal 0–10%, 10–15%, and 25–50% in both the ventral and dorsal half. Using computed tomography osteoabsorptiometry, the subchondral bone mineralisation of the subchondral endplates of nine C4 vertebrae was also evaluated.
Results
Highest mineralisation is located dorsally at the endplates. Tb.Sp and Tb.N were the only two parameters that displayed significant differences in averaged values of VOI. Nonetheless, distinct, consistent ventral-dorsal modulations were seen in matched sample ventral-dorsal comparison in the BV/TV, BS/BV, and SMI overall levels, as well as in Tb.Th in the three caudal levels. To simplify the vertebra was split into ventral-cranial, dorsal-cranial, ventral-caudal, and dorsal-caudal equal quarters. The ventral quarters display higher BV/TV, respectively lower BS/BV and SMI than their sample paired dorsal quarters. The ventral-cranial quarter shows the lowest BV/TV and the highest BS/BV and SMI, describing spacious cancellous bone with rod-like trabeculae. In contrast, the dorsal-caudal quarter exhibits the highest BV/TV and Tb.Th and the lowest BS/BV and SMI, illustrating thicker, denser, and more plate-like trabecula. The dorsal-cranial and ventral-caudal quarters are comparable and represent intermediate characteristics.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that the strongest part is the caudal dorsal part, and the weakest is the cranial ventral one. Recommend placement of orthopaedic implants, should be positioned dorsally with screws anchored in the dorsal-caudal region.

Abstract
Objective: Cervical cancer is extremely associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and genotype distribution of HPV varies geographic regions. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV and genotype distribution among female populations in Xiamen, Fujian Province, which can be conducive for local government to formulate cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccine strategies.
Methods: Clinical specimens were collected from 47926 participants aged 16-92 years at Women and Children’s Hospital, Xiamen University from November 2019 to June 2020. HPV DNA was extracted and detected by a conventional PCR method followed by HPV subtype-specific hybridization. The HPV infection rates based on different groups were compared by the c2 test. HPV prevalence and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated by SPSS 19.0.
Results: The overall HPV prevalence among 47926 cervical swabs analyzed was 15.13%, of which single, double, and multiple infections accounted for 12.07%, 2.25% and 0.81%. The age-specific prevalence of HPV infection presented a “U” curve with an HPV prevalence peak observed in women aged <20. The gynecology clinic group had significant higher HPV positive rates compared with health examination group (P<0.001). The five most common HR-HPV subtypes in Xiamen were HPV52, 53, 58, 16 and 51 (2.69%, 1.74%, 1.63%, 1.23% and 1.05%). The five most common LR-HPV subtypes were HPV54, 61, 81, 70, and 34 (0.92%, 0.86%, 0.71%, 0.45%).
Conclusion: This article analyzed the current HPV prevalence and genotype distribution among women in Xiamen. Our finding demonstrate that the 9-valent HPV vaccine is recommended for regular immunization in Xiamen. It is necessary for aged women to participate in HPV screening to decrease the morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Background After stroke, patients often experience lower limb motor deficits that interrupt their balance and gait functions and thereby lead to a high risk of falls. Sustained gait impairment can restrict participation in the activities listed in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model and poor quality of life. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and visual feedback training (VF) are key focuses in advanced rehabilitation medicine. The present study investigated the effectiveness of rTMS and VF training in improving lower limb motor performance, gait, and corticospinal excitability in patients with chronic stroke. Methods We recruited 30 patients with paretic legs at an average Brunnstrom stage of 3.7. The average time after the onset of stroke was 36.4 months. The patients were randomized into three groups: rTMS and VF, sham rTMS and VF, and sham rTMS and conventional rehabilitation groups. All participants underwent 50-minute intervention sessions three times per week for 4 weeks. The motor-evoked potential (MEP) of the tibialis anterior muscle, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test scores, and Fugl–Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) scores were determined before and after the intervention. Results The baseline characteristics were similar among the groups. After the intervention, the rTMS and VF group had improved MEP latency (Z = − 2.547,P = 0.011), TUG scores (Z = − 2.666,P = 0.008), and BBS scores (Z = − 2.539,P = 0.011). The sham rTMS and VF group had improved MEP latency (Z = − 2.207,P = 0.027) and TUG scores (Z = − 2.687,P = 0.052). The sham rTMS and conventional rehabilitation group had improved TUG scores (Z = − 2.537,P = 0.066). Conclusions rTMS and VF training may enhance the cortical excitability and walking ability of individuals with chronic stroke. However, future studies should use a larger study population and longer intervention time to validate this finding. Trial registration: This study was registered on theClinicalTrials.govProtocol Registration and Results System (ID:NCT03689491).

Abstract
Background
Short stature homeobox (SHOX) haploinsufficiency underlies idiopathic short stature (ISS) and Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD). The worldwide prevalence of SHOX variations in ISS varies from 2.5–15%. This study aims to assess the implication of SHOX variation in ISS in North India and its overall prevalence in Asian population.
Methods
SHOX gene analysis carried out by Multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) followed by Sanger sequencing in 54 patients with variable phenotypes. Meta-analysis was done to evaluate its prevalence which comprises 11 previous studies including present, carried out on a total of 979 participants.
Results
SHOX gene analysis resulted in 12.9% of positivity (7.4% deletions and 5.5% duplications). SHOX association was seen significantly related to gender, with predominance in female sex (P-value: 0.047). Short arms and forearms were the only significantly associated trait seen in 51.85% of children. We have found a rare association of multiple exostosis with LWD in a child with deletion. The prevalence of SHOX variation came as 15.2% in Asians. No significant difference was found in geographical region-specific analysis.
Conclusion
This meta-analysis compiles findings from the last decade and provides an updated picture of the prevalence of SHOX variations in Asians, emphasizing their potential as therapeutic targets in ISS patients.

Abstract
Salmonella is one of the leading causes of foodborne diseases in the world. In this study, Salmonella killing bacteriophage was isolated using the double-layer agar overlay technique and characterization of the phage genome was done. The morphology of phage was studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Whole-genome sequencing of phage DNA was performed in the Miseq platform. The genomic DNA library was prepared using the NexteraXT library prep kit method using the NexteraXT index kit. Paired-end sequencing of 2×251 cycles read length; the run was performed using the Miseq V3 kit. Phage formed clear plaques on S. enteritidis in the double agar overlay technique. The electron microscopy revealed that the phage belonged to Myoviridae family. The assembly produced a draft genome of length 161329 bp with a GC content of 44.425% and coverage of 104x. Rapid annotation subsystems technology yielded 333 coding sequences of which 285 proteins were hypothetical and 48 were assigned functions that included DNA ligase, capsid protein, endolysin, and other proteins. A pairwise comparative analysis showed closest genome as Salmonella Phage SSE-121. The study on the phylogenetic tree obtained showed a very close relationship with Salmonella Phage SSE-121 genome with a distance score of 0.1 disclosing it to be a new member of the SSE121 virus.
