Published: August 2022

In this paper, we demonstrate a simple and cost-effective fiber chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) laser system, where a nonlinear amplifier is
employed to generate broadband seeding pulses. The nonlinear amplifier
can generate stable pulses with 50 nm spectral bandwidth and linear
chirp. With such a seeding configuration being adapted into a fiber
CPA laser system, the output bandwidth can be expanded from 7 nm to
20 nm, with only minor changes to a standard industrial fiber CPA
system. The increased bandwidth allows for pulse durations of less
than 100 fs, which is significantly shorter than the original
configuration’s 250 fs. When combined with a Fourier pulse shaper,
such a fiber laser system is expected to produce pulses with energy
exceeding 100 µJ and duration shorter than 100 fs.
Opioid prescriptions for individuals receiving workers’ compensation in Michigan
Authors: Rosenman Kenneth D. , Wang Ling 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
We evaluated the prevalence of opioid prescriptions after injury and associated characteristics among workers receiving workers’ compensation for a lost work time injury.

Methods
Injured workers identified in Michigan’s Workers’ Compensation records from 2016 to 2018 were linked to the opioid prescription history in the Michigan Automated Prescription System.

Results
Among the 46,934 injured workers with paid claims, the prevalence of receiving an opioid prescription, morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per prescription, number of opioid prescription and probability of receiving opioids prescription>90 days after injury decreased from 2016–2018. Despite the decrease over 50% of the injured workers received an opioid prescription. Being over 34 years, a male, having had an opioid prescription before the injury, working in construction or having an amputation or sprain/strain of the shoulder had a significantly higher probability of receiving an opioid prescription, a higher MME per prescription, a higher number of opioid prescriptions and a higher probability having opioids prescription >90 days after the injury.

Conclusions
Even though opioid prescribing patterns generally decreased from 2016 to 2018 (64.5–52.8%), injured workers in Michigan had a higher prevalence of opioid prescription after injury, than those reported from other states.
A deep learning–based algorithm for tall cell detection in papillary thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Stenman Sebastian , Linder Nina , Lundin Mikael , Haglund Caj , Arola Johanna , Lundin Johan 
Published: August 2022

Introduction
According to the World Health Organization, the tall cell variant (TCV) is an aggressive subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) comprising at least 30% epithelial cells two to three times as tall as they are wide. In practice, applying this definition is difficult causing substantial interobserver variability. We aimed to train a deep learning algorithm to detect and quantify the proportion of tall cells (TCs) in PTC.

Methods
We trained the deep learning algorithm using supervised learning, testing it on an independent dataset, and further validating it on an independent set of 90 PTC samples from patients treated at the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa between 2003 and 2013. We compared the algorithm-based TC percentage to the independent scoring by a human investigator and how those scorings associated with disease outcomes. Additionally, we assessed the TC score in 71 local and distant tumor relapse samples from patients with aggressive disease.

Results
In the test set, the deep learning algorithm detected TCs with a sensitivity of 93.7% and a specificity of 94.5%, whereas the sensitivity fell to 90.9% and specificity to 94.1% for non-TC areas. In the validation set, the deep learning algorithm TC scores correlated with a diminished relapse-free survival using cutoff points of 10% (p = 0.044), 20% (p < 0.01), and 30% (p = 0.036). The visually assessed TC score did not statistically significantly predict survival at any of the analyzed cutoff points. We observed no statistically significant difference in the TC score between primary tumors and relapse tumors determined by the deep learning algorithm or visually.

Conclusions
We present a novel deep learning–based algorithm to detect tall cells, showing that a high deep learning–based TC score represents a statistically significant predictor of less favorable relapse-free survival in PTC.

Published: August 2022

Os mais importantes polinizadores do dendezeiro são Elaeidobius subvittatus e Elaeidobius kamerunicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Assim, deve-se buscar metodologias para o manejo integrado de pragas que preservem esses organismos benéficos. Por isso, nessa pesquisa objetivou-se verificar em dendezeiro o efeito de injeções de abamectina ou de imidacloprido sobre a incidência de besouros polinizadores. O estudo foi desenvolvido na Estação Experimental Lemos Maia, Ceplac em Una, no estado da Bahia utilizando-se dendezeiros com 12 anos. Aplicou-se imidacloprido ou abamectina via injeção e verificou-se a emergência de adultos em inflorescências masculinas. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizados. O número de indivíduos da espécie E. kamerunicus, independentemente do tratamento aplicado, foi superior ao de E. subvittatus. Além disso, o número E. kamerunicus e de E. subvttatus que emergiram de plantas que receberam injeções de abamectina ou de imidacloprido não diferiram significativamente da testemunha, sem tratamento inseticida. Assim, conclui-se que a aplicação de abamectina ou de imidacloprido via injeção em dendezeiros não afeta o número de indivíduos de E. kamerunicus e E. subvttatus que emergem das flores masculinas.

Published: August 2022

The use of plant extracts to induce resistance against pathogens has shown to be a promising alternative in the management of plant diseases. The objective was to evaluate the potential of ethanolic extract of Mormodica charantia on management of the Curvularia eragrostidis and enzyme activation involved on defense responses in yam (Dioscorea alata). The isolate of C. eragrostidis was obtained from leaves of yam with symptoms. Mycelial growth and sporulation were evaluated. The treatments were: extract of Momordica charantia 10, 100, 500 and 1000 ppm, acibenzolar-S-methyl (200 mg.L-1), fungicide (200 g.ha-1) and control. The evaluations were done daily, until the 15th day of the application of the treatments. The severity of the disease was evaluated at the end of the experiment, by the size of lesions in each plant. For determination of β-1,3-glucanase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase, leaves were collected in periods of 192 h after treatments application. Fungitoxic action of the treatments in the control of C. eragrostidis in vitro was verified. The M. charantia extract conferred significative levels of protection in yam plants against C. eragrostidis reducing incidence and disease severity. Thus, it was promoted increase in enzymatic activity, preconditioning yam in induced defense mechanisms.

Authors: Ren Bo , Zhu Zhicheng , Yang Fan , Wu Tao , Yuan Hui 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
High-altitude satellites are visible to more ground station antennas for longer periods of time, its requests often specify an antenna set and optional service windows, consequently leaving huge scheduling search space. The exploitation of reinforcement learning techniques provides a novel approach to the problem of high-altitude orbit satellite range scheduling. Upper sliding bound of request pass was calculated, combining customized scheduling strategy with overall antenna effectiveness, a frame of satellite range scheduling for urgent request using reinforcement learning was proposed. Simulations based on practical circumstances demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Indicators and indexes are quantifiable parameters used in scientific disciplines to summarize and communicate complex data in a simple and explanatory manner. In the field of natural hazards, indicators and indexes have been used to characterize natural processes, and the associated risk conditions in terms of impact, vulnerability, exposure, and resilience. In this paper, we formalize indicators at the municipal level to differentiate the Italian territory based on the spatial distribution of landslides. The indicators were combined with other information to define indexes able to better characterize the stability conditions of the municipalities and quantify the possible impact of slope movements on the road network. Indexes were defined only for the Umbria Region (Central Italy), which was chosen as an example. The proposed indicators and indexes show, in a simple way, the severity of the instability on the territory and can be used to support decision-makers to assess, evaluate, and manage landslide mitigation activities and civil protection actions.
Liminal People(s) in the Late Bronze Age Levant? A New Light on Sherden (šerdanu)
Authors: Mynářová Jana 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This article focuses on issues related to political liminality in the environment of the Levant in the Late Bronze Age. It first defines the term and then identifies key population groups that can be considered politically liminal. The main focus is on the so-called Sherden (Akk. šerdanu, širdanu), a group of persons and individuals, which are found in ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian sources spanning several centuries during the second half of the second half of the second millennium BCE. Whether as incoming enemies or as individuals settled on Egyptian soil, they represent one of the key phenomena of the Egyptian New Kingdom. But who were the Sherden and how did their role in the ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian societies change over time?

Abstract

Objectives
Mini-puberty is the physiological and transient activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis occurring during the first months after birth. In preterm infants, the hormonal surge is more pronounced and longer-lasting than in at-term-peers. To date, only few cases of vaginal bleeding in the setting of an exaggerated mini-puberty have been reported.

Case presentation
At the corrected age of 3 months, an ex-very-preterm girl presented with breast enlargement and recurrent vaginal bleeding. A remarkable increase in gonadotropins and estradiol levels was detected, while pelvic ultrasound highlighted a large right ovarian cyst. As brain and pituitary MRI showed negative findings, an exaggerated mini-puberty was suspected and no additional investigations were undertaken. The subsequent progressive regression of clinical, biochemical and sonographic findings confirmed the diagnosis.

Conclusions
Although exaggerated mini-puberty of infancy in ex-preterm girls is a rare event, it is important to raise knowledge of this para-physiological condition in order to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatment.
Cervical ripening as an outpatient procedure in the pandemic – minimizing the inpatient days and lowering the socioeconomic costs

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
With an increasing incidence of labor induction the socioeconomic costs are increasing and the burden on hospital capacities is rising. In addition, the worldwide SARS-CoV-2 pandemic asks for improvements in patient care during pregnancy and delivery while decreasing the patient-staff contact. Here, we are retrospectively analyzing and comparing a mechanical ripening device that is utilized as an outpatient procedure to misoprostol and dinoprostone as inpatient induction methods in a low risk cohort.

Methods
This is a retrospective comparative analysis of obstetric data on patients who presented for cervical ripening and labor induction. Ninety-six patients received a mechanical ripening agent as an outpatient procedure. As a control group, we used 99 patients with oral misoprostol (PGE1) and 42 patients with vaginal dinoprostone (PGE2) for cervical ripening in an inpatient setting. Data from 2016 until 2020 were analysed.

Results
Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences. Delivery modes were similar in all groups. The time period from patient admission to onset of labor was significantly shorter in the outpatient group (p<0.001): 10.9 h/0.5 days (±13.6/0.6) for osmotic dilator vs. 17.9 h/0.7 days (±13.1/0.5) for oral misoprostol vs. 21.8 h/0.8 days (±15.9/0.7) for vaginal dinoprostone. With 20.4 h/0.8 days (±14.3/0.6) the osmotic dilator group displayed significantly the shortest inpatient stay from admission to delivery (p=0.027). The patient subgroup of misoprostol had 25.7 h/1.1 days (±14.9/0.6) of inpatient stay from admission to delivery and the patient group of dinoprostone 27.5 h/1.1 days (±16.0/0.7). There were fewer hospital days in the outpatient group: 84.9 h/3.5 days vs. 88.9 h/3.7 days vs. 93.6 h/3.9 days (outpatient osmotic dilator vs. inpatient misoprostol and dinoprostone, respectively).

Conclusions
New approaches are required to decrease individual contacts between patients and staff while maintaining a high quality patient care in obstetrics. This analysis reveals that outpatient mechanical cervical ripening can be as safe and effective as inpatient cervical ripening with PGE1/PGE2, while lowering patient-staff contact and total hospital stays and therefore decreasing the socioeconomic costs.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper introduces a two-parameters generator of continuous statistical probability distributions called the Alpha Power Rayleigh-G (APRAY-G) family, some statistical properties of the family of distributions were derived, and we introduced a two-submodels of the generator. We estimate the parameters of the models based on the method of maximum likelihood estimation and explored simulation studies based on the introduced submodels. We observed that the biasedness and root mean square errors decrease as the sample size becomes large. We examined the applications of the models based on real-life data sets. We compared the obtained results with some existing probability distribution models. The results showed that the proposed models gave a better fitness to the data under investigation.
Augmenting the Realized-GARCH: the role of signed-jumps, attenuation-biases and long-memory effects
Authors: Papantonis Ioannis , Rompolis Leonidas S. , Tzavalis Elias , Agapitos Orestis 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper extends the Realized-GARCH framework, by allowing the conditional variance equation to incorporate exogenous variables related to intra-day realized measures. The choice of these measures is motivated by the so-called heterogeneous auto-regressive (HAR) class of models. Our augmented model is found to outperform both the Realized-GARCH and the various HAR models in terms of in-sample fitting and out-of-sample forecasting accuracy. The new model specification is examined under alternative parametric density assumptions for the return innovations. Non-normality seems to be very important for filtering the return innovations to which variance responds and helps significantly upon the prediction performance of the suggested model.
Wachstum durch Beschäftigung: Potenziale der deutschen Volkswirtschaft

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Germany’s labour market faces substantial challenges caused by demographic change in the next decade. However, a country comparison with Sweden and Switzerland reveals hidden labour market potentials. Raising the employment rate towards the Swiss level implies an increase of 1.83 billion labour hours. An alignment of weekly working hours as well as annual working weeks in Germany with the (higher) values of those in Sweden and Switzerland would raise annual labour volume to 4.71 billion working hours. A reduction of involuntary part time work in Germany leads to an increase of 691 million working hours. A better utilisation of the existing labour force potential can thus contribute to tackle the adverse effects of demographic change and enable a state budget consolidation after the crisis.
