    Abstract For an increasing number of cities, managing tourism becomes an important task and accordingly better understanding of touristic travel patterns is required. We model the sightseeing-tour choice within a city as a utility maximization problem. For this, attractions and their intrinsic utilities as well as tourists' preferences are evaluated over multiple dimensions in order to explain the variance in tourists' choice of POIs (points of interest) including the visiting order. Furthermore, the choice of destinations is considered "history-dependent" in that there is diminishing marginal utility gained by visiting additional POIs. Given the many potential sights, this leads to a large combinatorial problem. We solve this with a variant of a TTDP (tourist trip design problem) with the modified distance that evaluates omitted POIs and geographical distance between estimated and observed tours. The approach is applied to revealed-preference survey data from Kyoto, Japan, where tourists stated their visited attractions among 37 touristic areas. We discuss model fit and scenarios with the existing and a modified transport network.

    Abstract Background: The response to the vaccine may vary among individuals. Hence, it is important to know how often individuals experience side effects after immunization against COVID-19.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence of side effects following COVID-19 vaccination across different vaccine recipients in Southern Pakistan and identify the potential factors associated with these side effects in the population.
    Methods: The survey was conducted across Pakistan through Google-forms Links from August to October 2021. The questionnaire included demographic information and COVID-19 vaccine information. Chi-square (x2) was performed for comparative analysis to check the significance level with P <0.05. The final analysis included 507 participants who had received COVID-19 vaccines.
    Results: Of the total 507 COVID-19 vaccines recipients, 24.9% received CoronaVac, 36.5% received BBIBP-CorV, 14.2% received BNT162b2, 13.8% received AZD1222, and 10.7% received mRNA-1273. The most prominent side effects after the first dose were fever, weakness, lethargy, and pain at the site of injection. Moreover, the most commonly reported side effects after the second dose were pain at the injection site, headache, body ache, lethargy, fever, chills, flu-like symptoms, and diarrhea.
    Conclusion: Our results suggested that the side effects due to COVID-19 vaccination can vary between the first and second doses and type of COVID-19 vaccine. Our findings suggest continuing monitoring of vaccine safety and the importance of individualized risk-benefit assessment for COVID-19 immunization.

    Abstract With an ever-increasing number of mobile users, the development of mobile applications (apps) has become a potential market during the past decade. Billions of users download mobile apps for divergent use from Google Play Store, fulfill tasks and leave comments about their experience. Such reviews are replete with a variety of feedback that serves as a guide for the improvement of existing apps and intuition for novel mobile apps. However, application reviews are challenging and very broad to approach. Such reviews, when segregated into different classes guide the user in the selection of suitable apps. This study proposes a framework for analyzing the sentiment of reviews for apps of eight different categories like shopping, sports, casual, etc. A large dataset is scrapped comprising 251661 user reviews with the help of 'Regular Expression' and 'Beautiful Soup'. The framework follows the use of different machine learning models along with the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) for feature extraction. Extensive experiments are performed using preprocessing steps, as well as, the stats feature of app reviews to evaluate the performance of the models. Results indicate that combining the stats feature with TF-IDF shows better performance and the support vector machine obtains the highest accuracy. Experimental results can potentially be used by other researchers to select appropriate models for the analysis of app reviews. In addition, the provided dataset is large, diverse, and balanced with eight categories and 59 app reviews and provides the opportunity to analyze reviews using state-of-the-art approaches.

    Abstract The mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii encodes eight protein coding genes transcribed on two polycistronic primary transcripts. The mRNAs are endonucleolytically cleaved from these transcripts directly upstream of their AUG start codons, creating leaderless mRNAs with 3' untranslated regions (UTR) comprised of most or all of their downstream intergenic regions. In this report, we provide evidence that these processed linear mRNAs are circularized, which places the 3' UTR upstream of the 5' start codon, creating a leader sequence ex post facto. The circular mRNAs were found to be ribosome associate by polysome profiling experiments suggesting they are translated. Sequencing of the 3'-5' junctions of the circularized mRNAs found the intra-molecular ligations occurred between fully processed 5' ends (the start AUG) and a variable 3' terminus. For five genes (cob, cox, nd2, nd4, and nd6), some of the 3' ends maintained an oligonucleotide addition during ligation, and for two of them, cob and nd6, these 3' termini were the most commonly recovered sequence. Previous reports have shown that after cleavage, three untemplated oligonucleotide additions may occur on the 3' termini of these mRNAs-adenylation, uridylylation, or cytidylation. These results suggest oligo(U) and oligo(C) additions may be part of the maturation process since they are maintained in the circular mRNAs. Circular RNAs occur in organisms across the biological spectrum, but their purpose in some systems, such as organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) is unclear. We hypothesize, that in C. reinhardtii mitochondria it may create a leader sequence to facilitate translation initiation, which may negate the need for an alternative translation initiation mechanism in this system, as previously speculated. In addition, circularization may play a protective role against exonucleases, and/or increase translational productivity.

    Abstract Young aesthetic surgeons may wonder, "Why care about aesthetic medicine?" The answer is based on the "five principles" of aesthetic medicine: patient acquisition, patient retention, patient optimization, patient education, and patient conversion. The explosion in new nonsurgical technologies and treatments combined with patients' demands behoove young plastic surgeons to look at incorporating aesthetic medicine into their practice to help them grow and deliver the best results possible. Beyond injectables, nonsurgical treatments like fat reduction and skin care can help growing surgical practices acquire new patients by offering diverse services at a range of price points.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-1), notoriously known as COVID-19, emerged in 2019 and was responsible for causing acute respiratory collapse. Moreover, in September 2020, new variant cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 were reported in the United Kingdom, with many patients and deaths. This study aimed to see knowledge, perception, and fear among the global population towards a new variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, known as Omicron (B.1.1.529). This online cross-sectional global study was conducted during the emergence of the B.1.1.529 variant, also known as the Omicron variant. The survey was carried out from 2nd December 2021 to 3rd January 2022. The descriptive analysis was presented as frequencies (N), percentages (%), and mean ± standard deviation (m ± SD). The association between dependent and categorical independent variables was determined using the Chi-square test (x2). Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 23. Of 353 respondents, approximately 61% were females. One hundred fifty-four respondents were in the age group of 18-27 years. The average age was 31.53±10.3 (mean± SD). The majority of respondents (43.9%) were from Indonesia. The mean knowledge score about the Omicron variant was 3.18±1.14. Our study suggests that people have some knowledge about the new variant, Omicron (B.1.1.529). Besides, there was a significant association (p = 0.05) for the perception of the fatality rate of Omicron among the respondents from different countries. However, there is still an ample research gap in enlightening people about this infection (B.1.1.529).
