Experimental Demonstration of Multi-dimensional Coding/decoding for Image Transfer with Controllable Vortex Arrays

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), which featuring helical phase front, have been regarded as an alternative spatial degree of freedom for optical mode coding and multiplexing. For most reported OAM-based mode coding schemes, data information is only encoded by different OAM mode states. In this paper, we introduce a novel design technique to construct vortex array phase grating (VAPGs) for the flexible generation of vortex arrays, and employ the proposed VAPGs to realize multi-dimensional space/mode/amplitude coding/decoding. By designing VAPGs with different parameters and loading them on to a single spatial light modulator (SLM), we successfully generate vortex array with different mode states and relative power in the experiments. Moreover, a 10-bit multi-dimensional space/mode/amplitude data coding/decoding scheme for image transfer in free-space link with a zero bit-error-rate is experimentally demonstrated, which confirm the feasibility of our proposed VAPG-based coding/decoding scheme.

Webinar Penulisan Ilmiah sebagai Upaya dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Masyarakat terhadap Kemampuan Menulis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe scientific writing webinar activities in an effort to increase public understanding of writing skills. Methodology/approach: The method used is an online field study via Zoom on September 9, 2023, with a participatory model in which scientific writing webinar activities include three important stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Results/findings: The results showed that the scientific writing webinar activities included a planning stage that had implications for making flyers that had to be disseminated en masse, followed by the webinar implementation stage, which consisted of opening, core activities, questions and answers, and closing, and finally the evaluation stage, which was in the form of feedback from participants to determine the level of understanding of the material and satisfaction with the webinar activities. Limitations: The limitation of this research is that only 64 people participated in the full writing webinar, and it is hoped that further research can study more participants than that, so that it is clear, detailed, and reinforces what has been produced. Contribution: This resulted in the acquisition of a percentage of material understanding level of 71.7% and the level of satisfaction of participants with the organization of the webinar was very satisfied and satisfied by 81.1%.
A CEO with many messages: Comparing the ideological representations provided by different corporate reports

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study analyzes how corporate reporting can be used to reinforce particular worldviews in the ongoing discursive debate over sustainability. The use of language is compared in CEO letters from two types of disclosures: the annual and sustainability reports of two Finnish companies during 2000–2009. The analysis is based on Thompson’s (1990) schema regarding the modes of ideology. Significant differences are noted; the CEO letters in the annual reports prominently use the economic discourse of growth and profitability, but they rely on the ‘well-being’ discourse in the sustainability reports. Despite the difference in discourse, by using different forms of ideological strategies, both types of disclosure serve the dominant social paradigm. The findings presented in this study highlight the need to further develop corporate sustainability reporting practices.
Eurygnathohippus feibeli (Perissodactyla: Mammalia) from the Late Miocene of As Sahabi (Libya) and its Evolutionary and Biogeographic Significance

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The discovery of a new hipparionine metacarpal III in 2010 has led to the recognition of the occurrence of the East African species Eurygnathohippus feibeli at Sahabi. Specimens of metacarpal III and metatarsal III previously referred to cf. Hipparion s.s. are reassigned herein to Eurygnathohippus feibeli. The occurrence of an East African hipparionine horse at Sahabi is congruent with findings of other Late Miocene ungulates and strengthens the biogeographic connections between the Sahabi and the Ethiopian Middle Awash and Kenyan Lothagam faunas. Taking into consideration the known biogeographic connections to eastern Mediterranean - Southwest Asia faunas, the Sahabi findings constitute a crucial crossroads fauna between Eurasia and Africa and reflect the maximum extension of Old World Pikermian faunas in the Late Miocene. RIASSUNTO - (Sulla presenza di Eurygnathohippus feibeli (Perissodactyla: Mammalia) nel Miocene Superiore di As Sahabi (Libya) e il suo significato biogeografico ed evoluzionistico) - Il ritrovamento di un nuovo terzo metacarpale di un equide ipparionino avvenuto nella missione del 2010 ci ha permesso di riconoscere la presenza a Sahabi della specie ad affinita est africana Eurygnathohippus feibeli. Lo studio del nuovo materiale consente di attribuire anche i resti di metacarpale III e metatarsale III, in precedenza attribuiti a cf. Hipparion s.s., alla specie Eurygnathohippus feibeli. La presenza di un equide ipparionino con affinita est africana a Sahabi e congruente con la co-presenza di altri ungulati del Miocene Superiore nell'associazione faunistica ed e una conferma delle connessioni biogeografiche tra Sahabi e le associazioni faunistiche del Middle Awash (Etiopia) e di Lothagam (Kenya). Tenendo conto delle affinita biogeografiche che Sahabi mostra di possedere anche con le regioni del Mediterraneo orientale e dell'Asia sudoccidentale, la localita libica si conferma come importante crocevia faunistico tra Eurasia e Africa nel Miocene terminale, e rappresenta la massima estensione geografica delle faune pikermiane nel Miocene Superiore.
Non-binary individuals’ experiences of gender dysphoria: A phenomenological exploration

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Research indicates that non-binary individuals are at higher risk for mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. Gender non-conforming individuals tend to experience the phenomenon known as "gender dysphoria." Gender dysphoria, as defined by the DSM-V, is the discomfort between one's assigned sex at birth, and one's gender identity. However, the results of this interpretive phenomenological study indicate that social invalidation is uniquely impactful to non-binary individuals' experiences of gender dysphoria. In fact, the results of this study suggest the importance of stigmatization by identifying "social dysphoria" as a key factor for non-binary individuals, often more so than "physical dysphoria" (as gender dysphoria is currently defined). This may prevent non-binary individuals from receiving a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and the transition treatment that is available. This study highlights the importance of redefining gender dysphoria to reflect a broader array of experiences.
Energy system contributions during incremental exercise test.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The main purpose of this study was to determine the relative contributions of the aerobic and glycolytic systems during an incremental exercise test (IET). Ten male recreational long-distance runners performed an IET consisting of three-minute incremental stages on a treadmill. The fractions of the contributions of the aerobic and glycolytic systems were calculated for each stage based on the oxygen uptake and the oxygen energy equivalents derived by blood lactate accumulation, respectively. Total metabolic demand (WTOTAL) was considered as the sum of these two energy systems. The aerobic (WAER) and glycolytic (WGLYCOL) system contributions were expressed as a percentage of the WTOTAL. The results indicated that WAER (86-95%) was significantly higher than WGLYCOL (5-14%) throughout the IET (p < 0.05). In addition, there was no evidence of the sudden increase in WGLYCOL that has been previously reported to support to the "anaerobic threshold" concept. These data suggest that the aerobic metabolism is predominant throughout the IET and that energy system contributions undergo a slow transition from low to high intensity. Key PointsThe aerobic metabolism contribution is the predominant throughout the maximal incremental test.The speed corresponding to the aerobic threshold can be considered the point in which aerobic metabolism reaches its maximal contribution.Glycolytic metabolism did not contribute largely to the energy expenditure at intensities above the anaerobic threshold.
(389) EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN CONFORMITY TO MASCULINE IDEOLOGIES AND USE OF COERCIVE AND COAXING TACTICS FOLLOWING SEXUAL REJECTION

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Objectives To investigate the link between conformity to traditional masculine ideologies (TMIs) and the use of coercive (forceful and manipulative) and coaxing (benign or seductive) tactics following sexual rejection in cisgender men and women. Methods German-speaking participants (N = 771; 49.5% men and 50.5% women) were randomly assigned to read one of two hypothetical scenarios involving sexual rejection or engagement in sexual activities. Participants reported their reactions to sexual rejection. Additionally, conformity to TMIs were assessed. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed for data analysis. Results Participants with higher interest in partnered sexual activities, and higher enactment of power over women more often would use coercive tactics, as opposed to participants with lower conformity to those TMIs. Conversely, lower emotional restriction is associated with more frequent use of coercive tactics. Among men with higher conformity to social status, those who were rejected more often would use coaxing tactics, compared to those who were not rejected. Conversely, among participants with higher interest in partnered sexual activities, those who were not rejected more often would use coaxing tactics compared to those who were rejected. Conclusions Conformity to masculinity ideologies might be risk factors for women and men to use coercion tactics during partnered sexual activities. Therefore, sexual activities might be a means of achieving social status. Additionally, a desire to appear sexually experienced can contribute to the risk of resorting to coercion. Furthermore, coercive tactics may be used as an outlet for expressing frustration arising from perceived power imbalances within relationships. Interventions should employ gender-transformative strategies to separate sexual experiences from the pursuit of social status and provide individuals with alternative communication and conflict resolution techniques, emphasizing the importance of navigating power dynamics in a healthy and non-coercive manner. This transformative shift advances efforts to prevent and address sexual coercion by challenging deeply rooted stereotypes. Conflicts of Interest No conflicts of interest to declare.

graphic deterioration, in the patient and others affected by aerosols of contaminated water in other factories2 3 no radiographic changes were evident after several years' exposure, and no functional abnormalities persisted when away from work.Furthermore, the symptoms were prominent in the early part of the week, improving while continuing at work, but recurring on return to work after an absence.This pattern is similar to the "Monday fever" of byssinosis, but differs so far as we know in the site of reaction, being predominantly bronchial in byssinosis and peripheral in "humidifier fever."The source of the antigens was identified in this case but the precise causal agent was not, and it may, as Edwards suggested, be derived from free-living amoebae.4Awareness of this unusual pattern of reaction should allow earlier identification of its cause, although confirmation may be obtained only by systematic observations at work or by inhalation testing.
Nepal - Assessment Letter for the World Bank

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Before the earthquakes of April 25 and May 12, Nepal’s macroeconomic performance was relatively strong: Growth accelerated to 5.5 percent in 2013/14, thanks largely to a favorable monsoon; Inflation had been moderating, broadly in line with developments in India, but remained high at 7 percent (y/y) in March 2015; The fiscal position in 2013/14 (mid-July 2013 to mid-July 2014) was again in surplus, on account of under-execution of spending amid solid revenue growth. As a result, public debt eased further, to 25 percent of GDP. The trend of budget under-execution continued through April 2015, indicating that a small fiscal surplus looked again likely in 2014/15. Public debt remained on a declining path; The external position remained strong. The current account surplus reached 4.6 percent of GDP in 2013/14, as remittances continued to grow rapidly, reaching a record-high 28 percent of GDP. Net of remittances, however, Nepal ran a current account deficit of 23.6 percent of GDP in 2013/14. International reserves rose to US$6.2 billion by March 2015, equal to 29 percent of GDP and covering almost eight months of prospective imports. The earthquakes are expected to cause an initial slowdown in economic activity.
The Attributable Mortality of Postoperative Bleeding Exceeds the Attributable Mortality of Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Bleeding and venous thromboembolic disease are considered important sources of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Clinically, treatment of these 2 disorders is often competing. We sought to better understand the relative contributions of bleeding and venous thromboembolic disease to postoperative attributable mortality in a national cohort. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the 2006–2017 American College of Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database was performed to assess the adjusted odds ratio and attributable mortality for postoperative bleeding and venous thromboembolism, adjusted by year. RESULTS: After adjustment for confounding variables, bleeding exhibited a high postoperative attributable mortality in every year studied. Venous thromboembolism appeared to contribute minimal attributable mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Bleeding complications are a consistent source of attributable mortality in surgical patients, while the contribution of venous thromboembolic disease appears to be minimal in this analysis. Further studies are warranted to better understand the etiology of this disparity.
SCFβ-TRCP-mediated degradation of NEDD4 inhibits tumorigenesis through modulating the PTEN/Akt signaling pathway

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The HECT domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase NEDD4 is widely expressed in mammalian tissues and plays a crucial role in governing a wide spectrum of cellular processes including cell growth, tissue development and homeostasis. Recent reports have indicated that NEDD4 might facilitate tumorigenesis through targeted degradation of multiple tumor suppressor proteins including PTEN. However, the molecular mechanism by which NEDD4 stability is regulated has not been fully elucidated. Here we report that SCF(β-TRCP) governs NEDD4 protein stability by targeting it for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation in a Casein Kinase-I (CKI) phosphorylation-dependent manner. Specifically, depletion of β-TRCP, or inactivation of CKI, stabilized NEDD4, leading to down-regulation of its ubiquitin target PTEN and subsequent activation of the mTOR/Akt oncogenic pathway. Furthermore, we found that CKIδ-mediated phosphorylation of Ser347 and Ser348 on NEDD4 promoted its interaction with SCF(β-TRCP) for subsequent ubiquitination and degradation. As a result, compared to ectopic expression of wild-type NEDD4, introducing a non-degradable NEDD4 (S347A/S348A-NEDD4) promoted cancer cell growth and migration. Hence, our findings revealed the CKI/SCF(β-TRCP) signaling axis as the upstream negative regulator of NEDD4, and further suggested that enhancing NEDD4 degradation, presumably with CKI or SCF(β-TRCP) agonists, could be a promising strategy for treating human cancers.
CNV analysis in a large schizophrenia sample implicates deletions at 16p12.1 and SLC1A1 and duplications at 1p36.33 and CGNL1

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Large and rare copy number variants (CNVs) at several loci have been shown to increase risk for schizophrenia. Aiming to discover novel susceptibility CNV loci, we analyzed 6882 cases and 11 255 controls genotyped on Illumina arrays, most of which have not been used for this purpose before. We identified genes enriched for rare exonic CNVs among cases, and then attempted to replicate the findings in additional 14 568 cases and 15 274 controls. In a combined analysis of all samples, 12 distinct loci were enriched among cases with nominal levels of significance (P < 0.05); however, none would survive correction for multiple testing. These loci include recurrent deletions at 16p12.1, a locus previously associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (P = 0.0084 in the discovery sample and P = 0.023 in the replication sample). Other plausible candidates include non-recurrent deletions at the glutamate transporter gene SLC1A1, a CNV locus recently suggested to be involved in schizophrenia through linkage analysis, and duplications at 1p36.33 and CGNL1. A burden analysis of large (>500 kb), rare CNVs showed a 1.2% excess in cases after excluding known schizophrenia-associated loci, suggesting that additional susceptibility loci exist. However, even larger samples are required for their discovery.
Mistakes, Overconfidence, and the Effect of Sharing on Detecting Lies

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Mistakes and overconfidence in detecting lies could help lies spread. Participants in our experiments observe videos in which senders either tell the truth or lie, and are incentivized to distinguish between them. We find that participants fail to detect lies, but are overconfident about their ability to do so. We use these findings to study the determinants of sharing and its effect on lie detection, finding that even when incentivized to share truthful videos, participants are more likely to share lies. Moreover, the receivers are more likely to believe shared videos. Combined, the tendency to believe lies increases with sharing. (JEL C91, D83, D91, L82)
MAK: a machine learning framework improved genomic prediction via multi-target ensemble regressor chains and automatic selection of assistant traits

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Incorporating the genotypic and phenotypic of the correlated traits into the multi-trait model can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the target trait in animal and plant breeding, as well as human genetics. However, in most cases, the phenotypic information of the correlated and target trait of the individual to be evaluated was null simultaneously, particularly for the newborn. Therefore, we propose a machine learning framework, MAK, to improve the prediction accuracy of the target trait by constructing the multi-target ensemble regression chains and selecting the assistant trait automatically, which predicted the genomic estimated breeding values of the target trait using genotypic information only. The prediction ability of MAK was significantly more robust than the genomic best linear unbiased prediction, BayesB, BayesRR and the multi trait Bayesian method in the four real animal and plant datasets, and the computational efficiency of MAK was roughly 100 times faster than BayesB and BayesRR.
Heat transfer and entropy generation analysis of ternary nanofluid

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In light of the rising demand for improved heat transfer in thermal systems, this work offers a unique technique for boosting heat transfer capacity and reducing entropy generation using a ternary nanofluid. Moreover, constant pressure gradient, magnetic field, Joule heating, and thermal radiation also contribute to the flow dynamics. The 2D mathematical model is solved numerically using a finite difference method and the simulations are done in MATLAB. The obtained results show that ternary nanoparticles not only increase the thermal rates but are also helpful in maintaining the irreversibility of a system. It is also observed that the heat transfer of the base fluid increased by 7.5%, 8.3%, and 8.5% on adding TiO$_2$, CuO$-$TiO$_2$, and MgO$-$CuO$-$TiO$_2$ nanoparticles, respectively.
Taiwan: The Clinical Value of Reflux Gastritis Score and Bile Reflux Index

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: A new visual analog scale for grading variables has been incorporated into the updated Sydney System devised by Dixon et al. (1994), and it is consistent between observers with regard to all variables. In previous studies, the composite reflux gastritis score (RGS) and the bile reflux index (BRI) were significantly higher in duodenogastric reflux (DG reflux), postoperative, and GERD patients. Methods: The visual analog scale was used to calculate RGS and BRI simultaneously in DG reflux patients from one medical center in Taiwan. Eighty-eight patients with symptoms suggestive of DG reflux were enrolled in this study; 50 had previous gastric or biliary surgery, and 38 had no previous abdominal surgery. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and pathologic gastric mucosa examination. Results: Bile lakes of gastric mucosa and severe reflux esophagitis were observed endoscopically. Biopsy specimens were taken from antrum or anastomosis of the gastric mucosa, and H. pylori infection was determined by a urease test. There was a weak association between RGS&gt;9 and endoscopic bile lakes, and no significant differences were seen in BRI values. Nonsurgical RGS (mean 6.0) was half that of Dixon et al. (mean 12.0) and significantly lower (mean 5.3) in postoperative GERD patients. An RGS ≦6 weakly indicates increased prevalence of GERD; an RGS&gt;6 indicates decreased prevalence of GERD. Between the two
