Abstract
Effective prediction of electrical energy consumption, rational formulation of corresponding safety measures, and improvement of the accuracy of power load time series prediction are important guidelines for improving the application and management of electrical energy. In order to accurately predict the electric energy consumption and enhance the applicability of the model. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on electric energy consumption data combined with a long-term short-term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM) for electric energy consumption prediction model, selecting electric energy consumption time series with large samples and large time span. consumption time series, including model structure design, model training, model prediction, and model optimization, to implement the prediction algorithm. By using the minimum objective function as the optimization objective, the Adam optimization algorithm is used to continuously update the weights of the neural network and to tune the network layers and batch size to select the best. The number of layers and batch size are used as parameters of the power consumption prediction model. Finally, the optimized CNN-LSTM prediction model is invoked to predict the electricity consumption in the next time period using the electricity load data of Interconnection LLC (PJM) under the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) in the United States as an example. The results show that the combined model can achieve 98.94% prediction accuracy and 0.0066 mean absolute error (MAE), all of which are better than other basic models, proving that the combined prediction model has better performance in terms of power load prediction accuracy.

Abstract
The optical crosstalk effect in Multi-Pixel Photon Counters (MPPC) is unnecessary parasitic effects. The mechanism leading to the non-uniform spatial distribution of the prompt optical crosstalk in MPPCs was investigated in detail herein. The experimental results showed that the optical crosstalk probability (Pct) in MPPCs without optical isolation trenches was clearly non-uniform within the Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (G-APD) cell. However, the spatial distribution uniformity of Pct in G-APD cells was improved significantly in an MPPC containing optical isolation trenches. The different propagation distances of crosstalk photons emitted from different positions of the source G-APD cell to the nearest neighboring G-APD cell along a straight line, were the main reason for the non-uniform spatial distribution of Pct in the MPPC. According to the experimental results, it can also be inferred that the emission of crosstalk photons is spatially localized during a G-APD cell’s avalanche event, and majority crosstalk photons are emitted during the early stage of the avalanche.
An Improved Deep Reinforcement Learning for Task-oriented Dialogue System
Authors: Dehghanipour Zahra , Sartakhti Javad Salimi 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Nowadays, the need for dialogue systems is felt more than ever. Many services around us need continued support, while the domain of support is limited and specific. Therefore, instead of employing manpower, dialogue systems can help. In this paper, we propose a task-oriented dialogue system based on deep reinforcement learning empowered by several new ideas: first, due to the shortage of training data, we use GAN to generate more training data without human intervention. Second, we propose a new state embedding for representing environment in dialogue system. In this way, we use sentiment analysis and clustering methods. The proposed embedding makes a more accurate and deeper understanding of the environment, which ultimately leads to an increase in system performance. Additionally, we present a new reward function for the agent to better learn dialogues. In order to evaluate this system, we use both user simulator and human judges. With user simulator, we evaluate the average rewards of the proposed system and its improvements. With human judges, we investigate human evaluations about the proposed system. Based on these evaluations promising and comparable results are observed.
Use of cigarettes and heated tobacco products during pregnancy and maternal-fetal outcomes: a retrospective, monocentric study
Authors: Incognito Giosuè Giordano , Grassi Laura , Palumbo Marco 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Purpose
To compare the effects of using heated tobacco products (HTP) or traditional cigarettes (C) on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods
This is a retrospective, monocentric study conducted at San Marco Hospital from July 2021 to July 2022. We compared a cohort of pregnant patients who smoked HTP (HS), with pregnant women smoking cigarettes (CS), ex-smoker (ES) and non-smoker (NS) pregnant women. Biochemistry, ultrasound, and neonatal evaluations were performed.
Results
642 women were enrolled, of which 270 NS, 114 ES, 120 CS, and 138 HS. CS had the greatest weight gain and had more difficulty to get pregnant. Smokers and ES experienced more frequently threats of preterm labor, miscarriages, temporary hypertensive spikes, and higher rates of caesarean sections. Preterm delivery was more associated with CS and HS groups. CS and HS had lower awareness of the risks to which the mother and the fetus are exposed. CS were more likely to be depressed and anxious. Biochemical parameters did not show significant differences between the groups. CS had the greatest difference in days between the gestational age calculated based on the last menstrual period and the one based on the actual ultrasound age. The average percentile newborn weight range of CS was lower, as well as the mean 1st minute and the 5th minute Apgar scores.
Conclusion
The comparison of the data obtained between CS and HS underlines the greater danger of C. Nevertheless, we do not recommend HTP because the maternal-fetal outcomes are not superimposable to the NS outcomes.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The present study aimed to compare the image quality of the coronary arteries and in-stent lumen between super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) and model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR). We prospectively enrolled 50 patients (median age, 68 years; interquartile range [IQR], 59–74 years; 34 men) who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using a 320-detector row CT scanner between January and April 2022. The image noise in the ascending aorta, left atrium, and septal wall of the ventricle was measured, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the proximal coronary arteries were calculated. Of the ten stents, stent strut thickness and luminal diameter were quantitatively evaluated. The image noise on SR-DLR was significantly lower than that on MBIR (median 22.1 HU; IQR, 19.1–24.5 HU vs. 27.4 HU; IQR, 24.1–31.1 HU, p < 0.01), whereas the SNR (median 16.3; IQR, 12.0–22.0 vs. 13.9; IQR, 9.8–19.2, p = 0.03) and CNR (median 25.2; IQR, 16.9–30.8 vs. 19.5; IQR, 14.5–23.7, p < 0.01) on SR-DLR were significantly higher than that on MBIR. Stent struts were significantly thinner (median, 0.66 mm; IQR, 0.61–0.72 mm vs. 0.80 mm; IQR, 0.68–0.86 mm, p < 0.01) and in-stent lumens were significantly larger (median, 1.82 mm; IQR, 1.57–1.95 mm vs. 1.34 mm; IQR, 1.26–1.60 mm, p < 0.01) on SR-DLR than on MBIR. This study’s initial experience with SR-DLR improves the image quality of the coronary arteries and in-stent lumen at CCTA compared with conventional MBIR.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Spraying a tertiary blend of the insecticides; hexythiazox, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam, on tomato fruits, are routine in agriculture-attentive countries, especially in the Middle East region, to protect them against insects’ attacks. Insecticide residuals represent one of the major environmental contamination and health risks. Specific HP-TLC and RP-HPLC methodologies are established to estimate the residual insecticides and subsequently unassuming sample collection procedures. In the planner chromatographic methodology, methanol: chloroform: glacial acetic acid: triethyl amine (8.5: 1.5: 0.2: 0.1, v/v) is recommended as a mobile system. The other one is columnar chromatography; acetonitrile: water (20: 80, v/v), pH 2.8, is recommended as a mobile system. The validation parameters are examined following the ICH rules. They are applied to field samples for estimating the insecticides’ residues, effectively.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
The body plays a major role in defining, understanding and treating anorexia nervosa. Much research has focused on patients' physical body representation or their own perceived body, but without explicit reference to their relationship to others and the social processes involved. Yet, there are a several arguments supporting impairments in interpersonal relationships in these patients. Notably, some evidence suggests that self/other distinction (SOD), the ability to distinguish one's own body, actions and mental representations from those of others could be impaired in anorexia. But research remains scarce in this area.
Material and Methods
A single-centre, prospective pilot study was conducted to investigate, for the first time, self-recognition and SOD in seven adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) compared with matched healthy controls (HCs) using the "Alter Ego"TM double mirror paradigm. This innovative device allows the progressive morphing of one’s own face to that of another and vice versa between two subjects that interact on opposite sides of the device. Two judgement criteria were used: 1) M1: the threshold at which subjects start to recognize their own face during other-to-self morphing, and 2) M2: the threshold at which subjects start to recognize the other’s face during self-to-other morphing. In a second part, the same procedure was reproduced under 5 different sensorimotor conditions to examine their effects on self-recognition and SOD.
Results
The results showed that the participants with AN exhibited earlier self-recognition in the other-to-self sequence and delayed other-recognition in the self-to-other sequence. Furthermore, in contrast with that of HCs, the critical threshold for switching between self and other varied with the direction of morphing in AN participants. Finally, when AN subjects were seated in a chair with the backrest and footrest touching their body, the self-recognition threshold (M1) increased significantly, approaching that of controls.
Conclusions
Although additional research is needed to replicate the results of this preliminary study, it revealed the first behavioural evidence of altered SOD in individuals with AN through an embodied, semiecological face-recognition paradigm. Relationships between body perception and alterations in interpersonal relationships are discussed as well as new research and therapeutic perspectives are presented.

Authors: Kim Jong-Tae , Lee Chang-Hun , Lee Namjoo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Here, SWAT simulation results are calibrated and validated using SWAT-CUP Premium, and R2 (coefficient of determination) values of simulated and observed flows are compared. According to the SWAT analysis of Cheongsong Yongjeon-stream basin, a low accuracy of 0.40 was the R2 (coefficient of determination) value for simulated and observed flows, and the base flow was calculated at an annual average of 46.659 m3/s. During the same period, after calibration and validation using SWAT-CUP Premium, the R2 value of simulated and observed flows was improved to 0.71, and the evaluation indexes showed that NS was 0.51, PBIAS was 37.1, P-factor was 0.73, and R-factor was 0.33, indicating that the relationship between observed and simulated flows was improved. In addition, after calibration and validation, the base flow was 56.951 m3/s, which was a more accurate value compared to the one before calibration and validation.

Abstract
Background: To assess the gender-specific impact of 3-year changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) status on the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular (CV), and cancer mortality in individuals without type 2 diabetes during an 18-year follow-up.
Methods: The study population included 14,378 participants aged 30-60 years (8272 women) from three population-based cohort studies, including Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, and Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Subjects were classified into six categories based on the approximately three-year changes in FPG status: 1) normal FPG (NFG) to NFG (NFG-NFG, reference category); 2) NFG-impaired fasting glucose (IFG, i.e., 126> FPG ≥100 mg/dl); 3) NFG-type 2 diabetes (T2DM); 4) IFG-NFG; 5) IFG-IFG; 6) IFG-T2DM. Multivariable stratified Cox regression, adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), BMI-Change, smoking status, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs [95% CI]) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality events. Women-to-men ratios of HRs (RHRs) for each category were also estimated.
Results: During follow-up, 2362 incidences of all-cause mortality were recorded. Among women, all categories of FPG change, excluding IFG-NFG (HR, 95% CI; 1.24 [0.98–1.57], p-value=0.07), were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to the NFG-NFG category. Moreover, women in IFG-T2DM (2.21 [1.42–3.44]) group were at increased risk for CV mortality. We also found that women in NFG-IFG (1.52 [1.20–1.91]), NFG-T2DM (2.90 [1.52–5.51]), and IFG-IFG (1.30 [1.02–1.66]) categories had a higher risk for cancer mortality. However, among men, a higher risk of all-cause mortality was found for only two groups of NFG-T2DM (1.78 [1.15–2.74]) and IFG-T2DM (1.34 [1.04–1.72]). Women with IFG-IFG had a 24% higher risk for all-cause mortality events than their men counterparts with the same condition (RHR; 1.24 [1.01–1.54]).
Conclusion: In women, the IFG status, whether as incident, persistent, or converted to T2DM, had a higher risk for mortality events; however, among men, only conversion to T2DM conferred an excess risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Background

Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is an extremely rare benign liver lesion characterized by a gross well-circumscribed multicystic honeycomb appearance. This report presents a MCBH case with a marked peribiliary gland component which showed unusual histology.

Case presentation

A 63-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital for a detailed examination of a hepatic cystic lesion, which was originally detected 14 years ago and had slowly enlarged. A preoperative imaging study revealed a well-demarcated multicystic lesion without communication to the biliary tracts. The possible clinical diagnoses were mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) or MCBH. The lesion was successfully resected by purely laparoscopic right anterior sectionectomy considering the malignant potential of the lesion and hepatic functional reserve of the patient. The cut surfaces of resected specimens grossly exhibited a well-circumscribed multicystic lesion with a thick septum. Histologically, the cyst wall was covered by cuboidal epithelial cells resembling epithelium of the bile duct while abundant small ducts, which morphologically resembled peribiliary glands, were observed among the fibrous stroma of the thick septum. Although possible pathological diagnosis varied, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, biliary adenofibroma, MCN and MCBH, the lesion was finally diagnosed as MCBH with a marked peribiliary gland component.

Conclusions

MCBH can contain abundant peribiliary glands in the fibrous stroma. A pathologist should be careful not to diagnose such peribiliary glands in MCBH as neoplastic glands.
Seeing past the tip of your own nose? How outward and self-centred orientations could contribute to closing the green gap despite helplessness
Authors: Adamus Magdalena , Šrol Jakub , Čavojová Vladimíra , Mikušková Eva Ballová 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

The present study explored moderators of the relation between environmental concerns and pro-environmental behaviour that could help to close the green gap. A sample of 500 individuals (250 women) participated in the study. Apart from socio-demographic characteristics, participants answered questions about their environmental concerns and pro-environmental behaviour, collectivism and individualism, time orientation and emotional responses to climate change. Our results corroborate the view that collectivism, future orientation and prosocial tendencies may form a single component of outward orientation, while individualism and immediate orientation form self-centred orientation. Generally, outwardly oriented individuals and those less self-centred reported more pro-environmental behaviour. However, strongly self-centred individuals, even when reporting elevated helplessness, also showed increased involvement in pro-environmental behaviour once their concerns were high. The study contributes to the literature by pointing out that both outward and self-centred orientations have the potential to insulate individuals against the negative effect helplessness may have on pro-environmental behaviour. This could inform strategies that would both prompt individuals already concerned to act and arouse more concern among those who are not yet preoccupied with climate change.

Abstract
Background
Given the importance of the serotoninergic system for the adaptation of beta cells to the increased insulin demand during pregnancy, we hypothesized that genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) in the HTR2B gene could influence the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods
This was a case-control study. Five SNPs (rs4973377, rs765458, rs10187149, rs10194776, and s17619600) in HTR2B were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction in 453 women with GDM and in 443 pregnant women without GDM.
Results
Only the minor allele C of SNP rs17619600 conferred an increased risk for GDM in the codominant model (odds ratio [OR] 2.15; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53–3.09; P < 0.0001) and in the rare dominant model (OR 2.32; CI 1.61–3.37; P < 0.0001). No associations were found between the SNPs and insulin use, maternal weight gain, newborn weight, or the result of postpartum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In the overall population, carriers of the XC genotype (rare dominant model) presented a higher area under the curve (AUC) of plasma glucose during the OGTT, performed for diagnostic purposes, compared with carriers of the TT genotype of rs17619600.
Conclusions
SNP rs17619600 in the HTR2B gene influences glucose homeostasis, probably affecting insulin release, and the presence of the minor allele C was associated with a higher risk of GDM.
Real-World Study of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Bevacizumab in Patients with Ovarian Cancer: A Chinese single-institution study
Authors: Zhang Nan , Zheng Hong , Gao Yunong , Shu Tong , Wang Hongguo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background: Bevacizumab was the first anti-angiogenic agent approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed and relapsed ovarian cancer. For patients with extensive tumor metastasis that is unsuitable for primary debulking surgery(PDS), platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery(IDS) has become an important therapy strategy. The bevacizumab-containing regimens are also options for NACT and post-IDS chemotherapy. Although there have been many high-quality clinical trials of bevacizumab for ovarian cancer, real-world evidence is still necessary for clinical practice.
Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively assess the pattern, compliance, efficacy, and safety of bevacizumab as NACT in Chinese patients with ovarian cancer. Methods: We reviewed the clinicopathological data of patients with histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal adenocarcinoma, who were diagnosed and treated at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology of Peking University Cancer Hospital between May 2012 and January 2022.
Results: A total of 58 patients were ultimately enrolled in this study, with 35 receiving bevacizumab during NACT alone(NT) and 23 receiving bevacizumab during both neoadjuvant and first-line chemotherapy(NT + FL). Among the 43 patients in NT and NT+ FL groups undergoing IDS, 38(88.4%) patients achieved optimal debulking and 24(55.8%) patients had no residual disease after IDS. All patients had a median PFS of 15 months (95%CI: 9.595-21.405), and the 12-month PFS was 60.2%. The median PFS of the NT and NT+ FL groups were 13 months(95% CI: 9.738-16.262) and 20 months(95% CI:11.362-28.638), respectively. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between the two groups(p=0.113). According to multivariate analysis, patients treated with 15 mg/kg had a better PFS than those treated with ≤7.5 mg/kg(HR=0.352, 95% CI: 0.143-0.864, P = 0.023). Hypertension was the most common adverse event associated with bevacizumab. A total of 5.2% (3/58) of patients discontinued bevacizumab due to toxicity.
Conclusion: Bevacizumab is effective and well-tolerated in the real-world setting of ovarian cancer NACT treatment. Receiving the regimen containing bevacizumab in the last preoperative chemotherapy did not result in increased intraoperative bleeding. Patients receiving the dosage of 15mg/kg may have better survival outcomes than those receiving the dosage of ≤7.5mg/kg.
