    Abstract The study aims to develop and validate a video-based screening instrument for autism spectrum disorder that parents may use. Purposive sampling was used in all stages of this study to select distinct groups of participants in various stages such as development, judgement quantifying, pretest with sentences, and pretest with videos. Parents in India can use the Nayak Autism Screening Instrument which consists of 24 2-dimensional animated videos on a scale of 1-4 and one descriptive item to identify behavioural indications of ASD in children between the ages of 3 and 10.

    Abstract This paper addresses a MinMax variant of the Dubins multiple traveling salesman problem (mTSP). This routing problem arises naturally in mission planning applications involving fixed-wing unmanned vehicles and ground robots. We first formulate the routing problem, referred to as the one-in-a-set Dubins mTSP problem (MD-GmTSP), as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP). We then develop heuristic-based search methods for the MD-GmTSP using tour construction algorithms to generate initial feasible solutions relatively fast and then improve on these solutions using variants of the variable neighborhood search (VNS) metaheuristic. Finally, we also explore a graph neural network to implicitly learn policies for the MD-GmTSP using a learning-based approach; specifically, we employ an S-sample batch reinforcement learning method on a shared graph neural network architecture and distributed policy networks to solve the MD-GMTSP. All the proposed algorithms are implemented on modified TSPLIB instances, and the performance of all the proposed algorithms is corroborated. The results show that learning based approaches work well for smaller sized instances, while the VNS based heuristics find the best solutions for larger instances.

    Abstract Background: As no scales are currently available to assess the social-emotional reciprocity (SER) between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents, we aimed to develop a questionnaire for this.
    Methods: Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used for content validation. All stages of this study used purposive sampling to choose various groups of experts, mental health professionals, and parents of children with ASD to participate in the development, judgment-quantifying, and pretest stages. Data from 30 parents of children with ASD were gathered for the field test.
    Results: Thirty items were retained after content validation. The proportion of consensus regarding the comprehensiveness of the entire questionnaire was 1.00. The scale-level content validity index (CVI) by averaging calculation method and universal agreement calculation method were 0.95 and 0.50, respectively. Following the pretest, a total of 23 questions, on a five-point scale, were retained.
    Conclusion: Given the significance of SER between children with ASD and their parents, mental health practitioners should use this questionnaire to understand it to maximize the efficacy of any intervention.

    Abstract In this study, we fabricated a novel biodegradable functional film using natural polysaccharides by adding jujube seed powder as an active ingredient. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed agglomerate formation in the film with increasing concentration of seed powder. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy study demonstrated an electrostatic interaction between pectin and chitosan. The water solubility and swelling degree significantly decreased from 55.5 to 47.7 % and 66.0 to 41.9 %, respectively, depicting the film's water resistance properties. Higher opacity and lower transmittance value of the film indicated its protective effect towards light-induced oxidation of food. It was observed that the fabricated active film biodegraded to 82.33 % in 6 days. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of 98.02 % was observed for the functional film. The film showed antifungal activity against B. cinerea and P. chrysogenum. The highest zone of inhibition was obtained against food spoiling bacteria B. subtilis followed by S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. coli. Genotoxicity studies with the fabricated film showed a mitotic index of 8 % compared to 3 % in the control film. We used the fabricated film to preserve grapefruits, and the result showed that it could preserve grapes for ten days with an increase in antioxidant activity and polyphenolic content.

    Abstract Background: Recurrent disease after kidney transplant remains an important cause of allograft failure, accounting for 7-8% of graft loss and ranking as the fifth most common cause of allograft loss in the pediatric population. Although the pathophysiology of many recurrent diseases is incompletely understood, recent advances in basic science and therapeutics are improving outcomes and changing the course of several of these conditions.
    Methods: Review of the literature.
    Results: We discuss the diagnosis and management of recurrent disease.
    Conclusion: We highlight new insights into the pathophysiology and treatment of post-transplant primary hyperoxaluria, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, immune complex glomerulonephritis, C3 glomerulopathy, lupus nephritis, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and IgA nephropathy.

    Abstract We present deterministic algorithms for the Hidden Subgroup Problem. The first algorithm, for abelian groups, achieves the same asymptotic worst-case query complexity as the optimal randomized algorithm, namely O($\sqrt{ n}\,$), where $n$ is the order of the group. The analogous algorithm for non-abelian groups comes within a $\sqrt{ \log n}$ factor of the optimal randomized query complexity. The best known randomized algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem has expected query complexity that is sensitive to the input, namely O($\sqrt{ n/m}\,$), where $m$ is the order of the hidden subgroup. In the first version of this article (arXiv:2104.14436v1 [cs.DS]), we asked if there is a deterministic algorithm whose query complexity has a similar dependence on the order of the hidden subgroup. Prompted by this question, Ye and Li (arXiv:2110.00827v1 [cs.DS]) present deterministic algorithms for abelian groups which solve the problem with O($\sqrt{ n/m }\,$ ) queries, and find the hidden subgroup with O($\sqrt{ n (\log m) / m} + \log m$) queries. Moreover, they exhibit instances which show that in general, the deterministic query complexity of the problem may be o($\sqrt{ n/m } \,$), and that of finding the entire subgroup may also be o($\sqrt{ n/m } \,$) or even $\omega(\sqrt{ n/m } \,)$. We present a different deterministic algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem that also has query complexity O($\sqrt{ n/m }\,$) for abelian groups. The algorithm is arguably simpler. Moreover, it works for non-abelian groups, and has query complexity O($\sqrt{ (n/m) \log (n/m) }\,$) for a large class of instances, such as those over supersolvable groups. We build on this to design deterministic algorithms to find the hidden subgroup for all abelian and some non-abelian instances, at the cost of a $\log m$ multiplicative factor increase in the query complexity.

    Abstract It's well-known that inverse problems are ill-posed and to solve them meaningfully one has to employ regularization methods. Traditionally, popular regularization methods have been the penalized Variational approaches. In recent years, the classical regularized-reconstruction approaches have been outclassed by the (deep-learning-based) learned reconstruction algorithms. However, unlike the traditional regularization methods, the theoretical underpinnings, such as stability and regularization, have been insufficient for such learned reconstruction algorithms. Hence, the results obtained from such algorithms, though empirically outstanding, can't always be completely trusted, as they may contain certain instabilities or (hallucinated) features arising from the learned process. In fact, it has been shown that such learning algorithms are very susceptible to small (adversarial) noises in the data and can lead to severe instabilities in the recovered solution, which can be quite different than the inherent instabilities of the ill-posed (inverse) problem. Whereas, the classical regularization methods can handle such (adversarial) noises very well and can produce stable recovery. Here, we try to present certain regularization methods to stabilize such (unstable) learned reconstruction methods and recover a regularized solution, even in the presence of adversarial noises. For this, we need to extend the classical notion of regularization and incorporate it in the learned reconstruction algorithms. We also present some regularization techniques to regularize two of the most popular learning reconstruction algorithms, the Learned Post-Processing Reconstruction and the Learned Unrolling Reconstruction.

    Abstract It's well-known that inverse problems are ill-posed and to solve them meaningfully, one has to employ regularization methods. Traditionally, popular regularization methods are the penalized Variational approaches. In recent years, the classical regularization approaches have been outclassed by the so-called plug-and-play (PnP) algorithms, which copy the proximal gradient minimization processes, such as ADMM or FISTA, but with any general denoiser. However, unlike the traditional proximal gradient methods, the theoretical underpinnings, convergence, and stability results have been insufficient for these PnP-algorithms. Hence, the results obtained from these algorithms, though empirically outstanding, can't always be completely trusted, as they may contain certain instabilities or (hallucinated) features arising from the denoiser, especially when using a pre-trained learned denoiser. In fact, in this paper, we show that a PnP-algorithm can induce hallucinated features, when using a pre-trained deep-learning-based (DnCNN) denoiser. We show that such instabilities are quite different than the instabilities inherent to an ill-posed problem. We also present methods to subdue these instabilities and significantly improve the recoveries. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of a learned denoiser over a classical denoiser (here, BM3D), as well as, the effectiveness of the FISTA-PnP algorithm vs. the ADMM-PnP algorithm. In addition, we also provide an algorithm to combine these two denoisers, the learned and the classical, in a weighted fashion to produce even better results. We conclude with numerical results which validate the developed theories.
