description: The fingerprint study is a very significant method for personalidentification and estimate of difference among population groups. Itstudies the patterns and carving on the fingers which can vary amongmales and females and one population to another. The finger-ball printsof 30 males and 30 females were collected. The aims were to determinethe frequency distribution and predominant finger-ball pattern; to findout a variation between males and females; and to find out variationbetween different populations on the basis of dermatoglyphic indices.The frequency distribution is found to be in order: Loops>Whorls>Arches.No significant gender difference was observed between males and femalesin terms of finger-ball patterns. The Gender difference cannot be estimatedthrough finger-ball pattern in the studied population.Highly significant(p<0.00001) difference on the basis of various dermatoglyphics patternindices is observed among different populations of the same geographicallocation (western India).

description: Let $λ$ be an infinite cardinal number and let $\ell_\infty^c(λ)$ denote the subspace of $\ell_\infty(λ)$ consisting of all functions that assume at most countably many non-zero values. We classify all infinite dimensional complemented subspaces of $\ell_\infty^c(λ)$, proving that they are isomorphic to $\ell_\infty^c(κ)$ for some cardinal number $κ$. Then we show that the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\ell_\infty^c(λ)$ or $\ell_\infty(λ)$ has the unique maximal ideal consisting of operators through which the identity operator does not factor. Using similar techniques, we obtain an alternative to Daws' approach description of the lattice of all closed ideals of $\mathscr{B}(X)$, where $X = c_0(λ)$ or $X=\ell_p(λ)$ for some $p\in [1,\infty)$, and we classify the closed ideals of $\mathscr{B}(\ell_\infty^c(λ))$ that contains the ideal of weakly compact operators.

description: Background Studies of workers exposed to benzene at average air concentrations below one part per million suggest that benzene, a known hematotoxin, causes hematopoietic damage even at low exposure levels. However, evidence of such effects outside of occupational settings and for other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is limited. Objective To investigate associations between ambient exposures to five VOCs, including benzene, and hematologic parameters among adult residents of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Materials and methods Blood concentrations of selected VOCs were measured in a sample of adult participants in the Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study (GuLF STUDY) during 2012 and 2013. Complete blood counts with differentials were also performed on a subset of participants (n=406). We used these data together with detailed questionnaire data to estimate adjusted associations between blood BTEXS (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m/p-xylene, and styrene) concentrations and hematologic parameters using generalized linear models. Results We observed inverse associations between blood benzene concentrations and hemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and a positive association with red cell distribution width among tobacco smoke-unexposed participants (n=146). Among tobacco smoke-exposed participants (n=247), we observed positive associations between blood VOC concentrations and several hematologic parameters, including increased white blood cell and platelet counts, suggestive of hematopoietic stimulation typically associated with tobacco smoke exposure. Most associations were stronger for benzene than for the other VOCs. Conclusions Our results suggest that ambient exposure to BTEXS, particularly benzene, may be associated with hematologic effects, including decreased hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and increased red cell distribution width.

description: This paper addresses the behaviour of a classical multi-antenna GLRT test that allows to detect the presence of a known signal corrupted by a multi-path propagation channel and by an additive white Gaussian noise with unknown spatial covariance matrix. The paper is focused on the case where the number of sensors M is large, and of the same order of magnitude as the sample size N, a context which is modeled by the large system asymptotic regime M goes to infinity, N goes to infinity in such a way that M/N goes to c for c in (0, infinity). The purpose of this paper is to study the behaviour of a GLRT test statistics in this regime, and to show that the corresponding theoretical analysis allows to accurately predict the performance of the test when M and N are of the same order of magnitude.

description: The geometry of optical lattices can be engineered allowing the study of atomic transport along paths arranged in patterns that are otherwise difficult to probe in the solid state. A question readily accessible to atomic systems is related to the speed of propagation of matter-waves as a function of the lattice geometry. To address this issue, we have investigated theoretically the quantum transport of non-interacting and weakly-interacting ultracold fermionic atoms in several 2D optical lattice geometries. We find that the triangular lattice has a higher propagation velocity compared to the square lattice, despite supporting longer paths. The body-centered square lattice has even longer paths, nonetheless the propagation velocity is yet faster. This apparent paradox arises from the mixing of the momentum states which leads to different group velocities in quantum systems. Standard band theory provides an explanation and allows for a systematic way to search and design systems with controllable matter-wave propagation. Moreover, the presence of a flat band such as in a two-leg ladder geometry leads to a dynamical density discontinuity, which contrasts the behavior of mobile and localized atoms in quantum transport. Our predictions are realizable with present experimental capability.

description: Background: Xuanwei, China, experiences some of the highest rates of lung cancer in China. While lung cancer risk has been linked to the household use of bituminous coal, no study has comprehensively evaluated the risk of lung cancer associated with the mining of this coal in Xuanwei. In Xuanwei, coal is typically extracted from underground mines, without ventilation, and transported to the surface using carts powered by manpower or electricity. Methods: We evaluated the risk of lung cancer and working as a coal miner, in the absence of diesel exhaust exposure, in a population-based case-control study of 260 male lung cancer cases and 260 age-matched male controls with information on occupational histories. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for working as a coal miner and years of working as a coal miner were calculated by conditional logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders, such as smoking and household coal use. Results: We observed an increased risk of lung cancer among coal miners (OR=2.7; 95%CI=1.3-5.6) compared to noncoal miners. Further, a dose-response relationship was observed for the risk of lung cancer and the number of years working as a coal miner (Ptrend=0.02), with those working as miners for more than 10 years experiencing an almost fourfold increased risk (OR=3.8; 95%CI=1.4-10.3) compared to noncoal miners. Conclusions: These findings suggest that coal mining in Xuanwei may be a risk factor for lung cancer.

description: BACKGROUND: Recent findings suggest that exposure to organochlorine (OC) compounds, chlordanes and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p′-DDE) in particular, may increase the risk of developing testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). OBJECTIVE: To further investigate this question, we conducted a nested case-control study of TGCTs within the Norwegian Janus Serum Bank cohort. METHODS: The study was conducted among individuals with serum collected between 1972 and 1978. TGCT cases diagnosed through 1999 (n = 49; 27-62 years of age at diagnosis) were identified through linkage to the Norwegian Cancer Registry. Controls (n =51) were matched to cases on region, blood draw year, and age at blood draw. Measurements of 11 OC insecticide compounds and 34 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were performed using gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry. Case-control comparisons of lipid-adjusted analyte concentrations were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for tertiles of analyte concentration were calculated using conditional logistic regression. RESULTS: TGCT cases had elevated concentrations of p,p′-DDE (tertile 3 vs. tertile 1 OR (ORT3) 2.2; 95% CI, 0.7-6.5; p Wilcoxon = 0.07), oxychlordane (ORT3 3.2; 95% CI, 0.6-16.8; pWilcoxon = 0.05), trans-nonachlor (ORT3 2.6; 95% CI, 0.7-8.9; pWilcoxon = 0.07), and total chlordanes (OR T3 2.0; 95% CI, 0.6-7.2; pWilcoxon = 0.048) compared with controls, although no ORs were statistically significant. Seminoma cases had significantly lower concentrations of PCB congeners 44, 49, and 52 and significantly higher concentrations of PCBs 99, 138, 153, 167, 183, and 195. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides additional but qualified evidence supporting an association between exposures to p,p′-DDE and chlordane compounds, and possibly some PCB congeners, and TGCT risk.

description: BMN Matrix theory admits vacua in the shape of large spherical membranes. Per- turbing around such vacua, the setup provides for a controlled computational frame- work for testing information evolution in Matrix black holes. The theory realizes excitations in the supergravity multiplet as qubits. These qubits are coupled to matrix degrees of freedom that describe deformations of the spherical shape of the membrane. Arranging the ripples on the membrane into a heat bath, we use the qubit system as a probe and compute the associated Feynman-Vernon density matrix at one loop order. This allows us to trace the evolution of entanglement in the system and extract the characteristic scrambling timescale. We find that our numerical analysis is consistent with this time scaling logarithmically with the entropy of the qubit system, in tune with suggestions by Sekino and Susskind.

description: Background & Aims: The incidence of esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma has increased in Western countries in recent decades for largely unknown reasons. We investigated whether use of LES-relaxing drugs was related to an increased risk of esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, and whether use of NSAIDs was related to a reduced risk of esophageal and gastric cancers. Methods: We examined these associations by using administrative databases in a case-control study in 2 integrated health care delivery systems. Cases were incident esophageal adenocarcinomas (n = 163) and squamous cell carcinomas (n = 114) and gastric cardia (n = 176) and non-cardia adenocarcinomas (n = 320), diagnosed between 1980-2002 in one health system and between 1993-2002 in the other. Matched controls (n = 3996) were selected. Complete prescription information was available for the study period. Results: Prescription of corticosteroids was associated with a decreased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (odds ratio [OR], 0.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4-0.9), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.6), and gastric non-cardia carcinoma (OR, 0.4, 95% CI, 0.3-0.6). Ever use of pharmacy-purchased aspirin was associated with 30%-60% decreased risks of the studied cancers. As a group, LES-relaxing drugs showed little evidence of association with increased risk of any esophageal or gastric cancer. Conclusions: Corticosteroid and aspirin use were associated with significantly decreased risks of esophageal and gastric cancer. LES-relaxing drugs as a group did not affect these risks, although we had limited power to assess individual drugs. The possibility that corticosteroids and aspirin might reduce esophageal cancer risk warrants further consideration.

Students' Post Plagiarism Experience and Resilience for Quality Research Activities in Nigerian Universities
Creators: name: Eseyin, Emmanuel Olorunleke
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The study was carried out to investigate students’ post plagiarism experience and resilience for quality research activities in Nigerian Universities. There were four research questions and four corresponding null hypotheses that were answered and tested in the study. The design employed for the study was descriptive survey since the study deal with the collection of data to explain an existing phenomenon in order to make generalization. The population of the study comprised 242,000 postgraduate students in Nigerian universities (Statista, 2022). However, purposive and random sampling technique was used to select four universities (two North & South; two Private and Public) and these were Al-Hikmah University, Kwara State and University of Abuja, FCT in the North and Universities of Port Harcourt, Rivers State and Lead City University, Ibadan in the South. These four universities have a student population of 6, 918 while the Taro Yamane minimum sample size determination technique was used to determine the sample size of the study which was estimated as 378 and this was divided by the population strength of the universities as follows (University of Abuja 218, Al-Hikmah University 6, University of Port Harcourt 102 and Lead City 52). The 378 students drawn as sample for the study were selected across the different disciplines, sex, university type and location. The instrument presented to the selected respondents for data collection was a questionnaire titled “Students Post Plagiarism Experience and Reliance for Quality Research Activities Questionnaire” (SPPERQRAQ). The questionnaire had two sections namely Section A which was used to collect data from the students on their sex, type of university, location and discipline. The Section B of the questionnaire contained 20 questionnaire items responded to on a modified Likert rating scale of Strongly Agreed (SA), Agreed (A), Disagreed (D) and Strongly Disagreed (SD) with weighted values of 4, 3, 2 and 1. These weights were summed together (4+3+2+1) =10/4 to arrive at 2.50 which was the criterion mean score used to agree or disagree with a questionnaire item.

description: Importance: Racial and ethnic disparities in pain management have been characterized in many hospital based settings. Painful traumatic injuries are a common reason for 911 activations of the EMS (emergency medical services) system. 
Objective: To evaluate whether, among patients treated by EMS with traumatic injuries, race and ethnicity are associated with either disparate recording of pain scores or disparate administration of analgesia when a high pain score is recorded. 
Design, Settings, and Participants: This cohort study included interactions from 2019 to 2021 for US patients ages 14 to 99 years who had experienced painful acute traumatic injuries and were treated and transported by an advanced life support unit following the activation of the 911 EMS system. The data were analyzed in January 2023. 
Exposures: Acute painful traumatic injuries including burns. 
Main Outcomes and Measures: Outcomes were the recording of a pain score and the administration of a nonoral opioid or ketamine. 
Results: The study cohort included 4 781 396 EMS activations for acute traumatic injury, with a median 
(IQR) patient age of 59 (35-78) years (2 497 053 female [52.2%]; 31 266 American Indian or Alaskan 
Native [0.7%]; 59 713 Asian [1.2%]; 742 931 Black [15.5%], 411 934 Hispanic or Latino [8.6%], 10 747 
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander [0.2%]; 2 764 499 White [57.8%]; 16 161 multiple races [0.3%]). The analysis showed that race and ethnicity was associated with the likelihood of having a pain score recorded. Compared with White patients, American Indian and Alaskan Native patients had the lowest adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of having a pain score recorded (AOR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.71-0.76). Among patients for whom a high pain score was recorded (between 7 and 10 out of 10), Black patients were about half as likely to receive opioid or ketamine analgesia as White patients (AOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 
0.52-0.54) despite having a pain score recorded almost as frequently as White patients. 
Conclusions and Relevance: In this nationwide study of patients treated by EMS for acute traumatic injuries, patients from racial or ethnic minority groups were less likely to have a pain score recorded, with Native American and Alaskan Natives the least likely to have a pain score recorded. Among patients with a high pain score, patients from racial and ethnic minority groups were also significantly less likely to receive opioid or ketamine analgesia treatment, with Black patients having the lowest adjusted odds of receiving these treatments.

description: Exposure to high levels of many pesticides has both acute and long-term neurologic consequences, but little is known about the neurotoxicity of chronic exposure to moderate pesticide levels. We analysed cross-sectional data from 18 782 Caucasian, male, licensed pesticide applicators, enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study from 1993 to 1997. Applicators provided information on lifetime pesticide use, and 23 neurologic symptoms typically associated with pesticide intoxication. Increased risk of experiencing ≥10 symptoms during the year before enrollment was associated with cumulative pesticide use, personally mixing or applying pesticides, pesticide-related medical care, diagnosed pesticide poisoning, and events involving high personal pesticide exposure. Greatest risk was associated with use of organophosphate and organochlorine insecticides. Results were similar after stratification by pesticide use during the year before enrollment, or exclusion of applicators with a history of pesticide poisoning, or high-exposure events. Use of pesticide application methods likely to involve high personal exposure was associated with greater risk. Groups of symptoms reflecting several neurologic domains, including affect, cognition, autonomic and motor function, and vision, were also associated with pesticide exposure. These results suggest that neurologic symptoms are associated with cumulative exposure to moderate levels of organophosphate and organochlorine insecticides, regardless of recent exposure or history of poisoning.

description: Exposure to high levels of many pesticides has both acute and long-term neurologic consequences, but little is known about the neurotoxicity of chronic exposure to moderate levels of pesticides. We analyzed cross-sectional data from 18,782 white male licensed private pesticide applicators enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study in 1993-1997. Applicators provided information on lifetime pesticide use and 23 neurologic symptoms typically associated with pesticide intoxication. An indicator of more symptoms (≥ 10 vs. < 10) during the year before enrollment was associated with cumulative lifetime days of insecticide use: odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.64 (1.36-1.97) for 1-50 days, 1.89 (1.58-2.25) for 51-500 days, and 2.50 (2.00-3.13) for > 500 days, compared with never users. A modest association for fumigants [> 50 days, 1.50 (1.24-1.81)] and weaker relationships for herbicides [> 500 days, 1.32 (0.99-1.75)] and fungicides [> 50 days, 1.23 (1.00-1.50)] were observed. Pesticide use within the year before enrollment was not associated with symptom count. Only associations with insecticides and fumigants persisted when all f6ur pesticide groups were examined simultaneously. Among chemical classes of insecticides, associations were strongest for organophosphates and organochlorines. Associations with cumulative exposure persisted after excluding individuals who had a history of pesticide poisoning or had experienced an event involving high personal pesticide exposure. These results suggest that self-reported neurologic symptoms are associated with cumulative exposure to moderate levels of fumigants and organophosphate and organochlorine insecticides, regardless of recent exposure or history of poisoning.

description: Let $X$ be a compact connected Kähler--Einstein manifold with $c_1(TX)\, \geq\, 0$. If there is a semistable Higgs vector bundle $(E\,,θ)$ on $X$ with $θ\,\not=\,0$, then we show that $c_1(TX)=0$, any $X$ satisfying this condition is called a Calabi--Yau manifold, and it admits a Ricci--flat Kähler form \cite{Ya}. Let $(E\,,θ)$ be a polystable Higgs vector bundle on a compact Ricci--flat Kähler manifold $X$. Let $h$ be an Hermitian structure on $E$ satisfying the Yang--Mills--Higgs equation for $(E\,,θ)$. We prove that $h$ also satisfies the Yang--Mills--Higgs equation for $(E\,,0)$. A similar result is proved for Hermitian structures on principal Higgs bundles on $X$ satisfying the Yang--Mills--Higgs equation.

description: Objectives. This study examined the association between maternal occupational exposure to agricultural chemicals and the risk of limb defects among offspring. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Washington State birth records for the years 1980 through 1993. The exposed group, consisting of 4466 births to mothers employed in agriculture, was compared with 2 reference groups: (i) 23 512 births in which neither parent worked in agriculture (″nonagricultural″ group) and (ii) 5994 births in which only the father worked in agriculture (″paternal agriculture″ group). The outcome of interest was limb defects [syndactyly, polydactyly, adactyly, and ″other limb reductions″ (as listed in the birth record)]. Results. An elevated risk of limb defects was observed for the exposed group in comparison with both the nonagricultural and paternal agriculture groups, with ethnicity-adjusted prevalence ratios of 2.6 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.1-5.8] and 2.6 (95% CI 0.7-9.5), respectively. Conclusions. These results support the hypothesis that maternal occupational exposure to agricultural chemicals may increase the risk of giving birth to a child with limb defects.

description: Modern technology unintentionally provides resources that enable the trust of everyday interactions to be undermined. Some authentication schemes address this issue using devices that give unique outputs in response to a challenge. These signatures are generated by hard-to-predict physical responses derived from structural characteristics, which lend themselves to two different architectures, known as unique objects (UNOs) and physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The classical design of UNOs and PUFs limits their size and, in some cases, their security. Here we show that quantum confinement lends itself to the provision of unique identities at the nanoscale, by using fluctuations in tunnelling measurements through quantum wells in resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs). This provides an uncomplicated measurement of identity without conventional resource limitations whilst providing robust security. The confined energy levels are highly sensitive to the specific nanostructure within each RTD, resulting in a distinct tunnelling spectrum for every device, as they contain a unique and unpredictable structure that is presently impossible to clone. This new class of authentication device operates with few resources in simple electronic structures above room temperature.

description: Characteristic p multizeta values were initially studied by Thakur, who defined them as analogues of classical multiple zeta values of Euler. In the present paper we establish an effective criterion for Eulerian multizeta values, which characterizes when a multizeta value is a rational multiple of a power of the Carlitz period. The resulting "t-motivic" algorithm can tell whether any given multizeta value is Eulerian or not. We also prove that if zeta_A(s_1,...,s_r) is Eulerian, then zeta_A(s_2,...,s_r) has to be Eulerian. When r=2, this was conjectured (and later on conjectured for arbitrary r) by Lara Rodriguez and Thakur for the zeta-like case from numerical data. Our methods apply equally well to values of Carlitz multiple polylogarithms at algebraic points and zeta-like multizeta values.

description: Multi-level or hierarchical models present various features for dealing with data grouped at several levels. The majority of applications of hierarchical models use clustered data that is static in nature and collected over a long period of time. The purpose of this study is investigating hierarchical models for application with highly dynamic systems. Steady-state data are conventionally employed for engine torque mapping purposes. The data takes much time to collect and the dynamics of the system are routinely ignored.  This valuable information could be used for better control of the system.In this study, an innovative transient spark-sweep approach is developed for collecting dynamic torque data more efficiently. The means of data collection implies a structure for which a multi-level model is best suited. A multi-model augmented D-optimal design is created, and the experimental data collected. Spark excitation is applied at speed/load points using Amplitude Modulated Pseudo Random Signal (AMPRS), and the torque response over the operating space is thus obtained. Conditional first-order linearization is used within the identification process for determining the hierarchical model parameters. The level-1 Nonlinear Auto Regressive eXogenous (NARX) models are separately determined using an Iterative Generalized Least Square (IGLS) method and the results are employed for initialisation of the covariance matrix and the model level-2 parameters. A novel gradient optimiser was established to facilitate the dynamic hierarchical model identification. Additionally, the uncertainty associated with model selection was mitigated using a multi-model approach. The model identified is evaluated and compared with experimental dynamic and steady-state data. It shows behaviour, both dynamic and steady state, providing prediction over a wider extrapolated spark range than conventional approaches. The new approach is eight time faster than current state-of-the-art approaches.

description: Background: Although studies have traced the impact of COVID-19 on those with eating disorders, little is known about the specific impact of the pandemic on Black American women who report disordered eating behaviors and are at risk for eating disorders. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on Black women who binge-eat. Methods: We recruited a purposive sample during the first wave of COVID-19 from the southeastern United States. Participants identified as Black women, reported binge-eating episodes in the last 28 days, and agreed to participate in a semi-structured interview. Prior to the interview, participants were administered a socio-demographic survey and the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed independently using qualitative content analysis and open coding to identify relevant codes and themes. Results: On average, participants (N = 20) were 43.05 ± 16.2 years of age and reported 5.6 ± 5.7 binge-eating episodes in the last 28 days. We identified six themes to describe participants' experiences managing their eating behavior during COVID-19: (1) food as a coping strategy; (2) lack of control around food; (3) increased time in a triggering environment (e.g., being at home with an easy availability of food); (4) lack of structure and routine; (5) challenges with limited food availability; and (6) positive impact of the pandemic. Conclusion: In this study, Black women reported challenges managing their eating behavior during COVID-19. Results could inform the development and tailoring of treatments for Black women reporting disordered eating behaviors. Level of Evidence: Level V, qualitative interviews.
