We analyze the class of networks characterized by modular structure where a sequence of l Erdös-Renyi random networks of size Nl with random average degrees is joined by links whose structure must remain immaterial. We find that traceroutes spanning the entire macronetwork exhibit scaling degree distributions P(k) approximately k-gamma, where gamma depends on how the degrees of the joined clusters are distributed. We thus suggest that yet another mechanism for the dynamic origin of arbitrary power-law degree distributions observed in natural and artificial networks, many of which belong to the range 2

Comparative analysis of Ball Mapper and conventional Mapper in investigating air pollutants' behavior.
Environ Monit Assess
January 2025
School of Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM, Penang, Malaysia.
This study investigates the effectiveness and efficiency of two topological data analysis (TDA) techniques, the conventional Mapper (CM) and its variant version, the Ball Mapper (BM), in analyzing the behavior of six major air pollutants (NO, PM, PM, O, CO, and SO) across 60 air quality monitoring stations in Malaysia. Topological graphs produced by CM and BM reveal redundant monitoring stations and geographical relationships corresponding to air pollutant behavior, providing better visualization than traditional hierarchical clustering. Additionally, a comparative analysis of topological graph structures was conducted using node degree distribution, topological graph indices, and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to evaluate the sensitivity and performance of these TDA techniques.

Introduction Tonsils are part of the immune system, but recurrent tonsillitis may necessitate tonsillectomy. While studies show that tonsillectomy reduces throat infections and improves quality of life, it does not significantly affect immunity or increase the risk of autoimmune diseases. Despite this, misconceptions about its impact persist.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, India.
Background: Radiation dermatitis (RD) or skin toxicity is one of the most common acute side effects of radiation in head and neck cancer patients. This study aims to correlate the pattern of volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) dose distribution to the skin with the grades of RD.
Materials And Methods: 80 plans of histopathologically proven squamous cell carcinoma head and neck patients already treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiation [66-70 Gy in 33-35# or 66 Gy in 30# in simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), with concurrent Cisplatin 100 mg/m 3 weekly] at our institution between November 2022 and November 2023 were retrieved from our digital archives.

Neurology Department, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, People's Republic of China.
Background: Nursing leadership is recognized as essential to fostering innovation in hospitals, while the precise relationship between them has yet to be established.
Aim: The objective of this study is to examine the association among leadership in nursing research, research motivation, perceived barriers, and innovation behavior of junior nurses who hold a master's degree or above in the hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted and electronic questionnaires were distributed online.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious health, economic, and social consequences worldwide. Understanding how infectious diseases spread can help mitigate these impacts. The Theil index, a measure of inequality rooted in information theory, is useful for identifying geographic disproportionality in COVID-19 incidence across regions.
