Intersectional expansiveness borne at the neuroqueer nexus

ABSTRACT This article is crafted to unpack the methodological, epistemological, and ethical modes of inquiry embedded in a participatory, multi-method, intergenerational survey of/by/for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) youth from across the United States. We write alongside a racially diverse and inclusive sample of over 1,800 young people who participated in a national survey and referenced themselves as ‘queer’ and ‘neurodiverse’ in open-ended responses. This qualitative deep dive into the lives of neuroqueer youth presents back their narratives of struggle and desire through an intersectional lens attentive to multiple interlocking systems of oppression and resistance. We write to reflect the expansiveness of this community and their strategies to break free from normativity and binary expectations of gender, sexuality, and ability that are constraining all people. We illustrate how neuroqueer youth operate in ways that are multi-scalar with struggles that are deeply personal, embodied, and political. Their existential desires to be recognised as ‘me’ and get through the day are often met with solidarity activisms that confront intersectional injustices, both in-person and online.
Dignity Therapy and the past That Matters: Dialogues with Older People on Values and Photos

Abstract Objectives Dignity therapy (DT) is recognized as a valid form of support for terminally ill patients who have to manage trauma and loss. Given the positive evidence associated with DT, finding ways of adapting it for the older people warrants consideration. Methods The study examines if DT can be improved with the use of an album of family photographs, in order to process the sense of loss of dignity and past traumas. Sixteen institutionalized participants were surveyed, via mixed methods. Results Quantitative data were collected with the help of the Patient Dignity Inventory, and the qualitative analysis was based on generativity documents. Conclusion Results confirmed the feasibility of this approach for this cohort.

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting the overall survival of patients with testicular cancer.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict survival in testicular cancer patients. METHODS Testicular cancer patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were selected for this study. A random sampling method was used to divide patients into training and validation cohorts, which accounted for 30% and 70% of the total sample, respectively. The nomogram was developed using the training cohort and evaluated using the C index, calibration chart, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS Seven risk factors that affect the survival of testicular cancer patients (AJCC stage, marital status, age at diagnosis, race, SEER historic stage A, surgery status, and origin) were identified using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The nomogram has a higher C index (0.897) and AUC when compared with the AJCC staging system. The results of the calibration chart of the nomogram show that the predicted survival of testicular cancer patients at 3, 5, and 10 years after diagnosis is very close to their actual survival. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a nomogram for predicting the survival rate of testicular cancer patients at 3, 5, and 10 years after diagnosis. This nomogram has better discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity than the AJCC staging system. This indicates that the nomogram can be used to predict the survival of testicular cancer patients effectively, and provide a reference for patient treatment strategies.
User interactive high-resolution multi-view display system using a three-dimensional head-tracking camera

Multiview display is a popular method to deliver three-dimensional (3D) images by generating a perspective directional view. However, there are some limitations such as a low resolution, lack of motion parallax, and a narrow viewing angle. In this paper, we propose a method to implement a multi-view display system that provides a 3D image in high resolution. The original setup is composed of a stereoscopic 3D display panel and a head tracking camera. The directional view image of a 3D object is captured by a camera array and shown on a stereoscopic 3D display. A user interface is designed to control the hardware. An Intel RealSense sr300 camera is used to track the observer's viewing angle. The images are captured rotationally through a movable camera array in a 30-degree span. There are 71 and 3 views in the horizontal and vertical direction, respectively. The directional view information is displayed according to the observer's viewing direction as well as the head position. The observer can realize a high-resolution 3D image with smooth motion parallax. Most importantly, the proposed system interactively displays the exact view direction according to the user’s viewing angle which feels more natural to the observer.
Physical-chemical and microbiological quality of milk and cheese of goats fed with bidestilated glycerin

The increase in goat milk production and processing that has occurred in recente years is mainly due to new food trends (Barlowska et al., 2018). Goat rearing is a low cost alternative for dairy production in underdeveloped and developing countries (Schwarz et al., 2017). There is a demand from the consumer to buy cheese made by traditional methods. The sensory qualities of cheese produced by traditional methods are differentiated from cheese produced on an industrial scale (Kuznicka & Łapinska, 2014).
Review on DC transmission systems for integrating large‐scale offshore wind farms

Correspondence Qiang Song, Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University. Email: songqiang@mail.tsinghua. edu.cn Abstract The exploitation of offshore wind power has increased rapidly in recent years. To gain more wind power energy, offshore wind farms move farther from onshore. A comparison between HVAC and HVDC in terms of reliability, cost and transmission capability shows that HVDC is more suitable for long-distance, high-capacity bulk power transmission. However, the HVDC transmission for offshore wind power also faces great challenges because the offshore applications bring critical demands for low volume and low weight for the converters at the offshore side. On the other hand, the new topologies and conversion techniques of power electronic converters expedite many new DC transmission architectures for offshore wind power. Different HVDC architectures by using centralised voltage source converter (VSC), diode rectifier (DR), series-connected wind turbine converters and all-DC wind farm based on DC transformers are reviewed and compared. The advantages, challenges and development and application prospects for various DC transmission solutions are discussed.
The dynamical creation/annihilation of a Dp-brane from D(p − 2) branes

We discuss how to generate a dynamical Dp-brane with a topology of Rp−2×S2 from N D(p − 2)-branes with Rp−2 topology with or without the presence of a constant RR (p + 2)-form flux. This extends the previous work (Chen and Lu 2004 arXiv:hep-th/0405265) of generating a dynamical spherical D2 brane from N D0 branes in a constant RR four-form flux to a general p. In particular, dynamically generating a higher dimensional brane from lower dimensional ones does not necessarily need the presence of a relevant RR background flux but needs excess energy, lending support to the spacetime uncertainty principle. The time evolution of the dynamical p-brane for a general p remains the same as for the p = 2 case, however there is a class of spatial dependent Dp configurations when p ≥ 3. Some of these spatial-dependent Dp brane configurations and their properties have been discussed previously which can also be obtained from the time-dependent one by euclideanizing the time. Properties of the spatial-dependent solutions and their relations to the corresponding brane-anti brane system are discussed.
Social media - based digital learning

Social media have taken a big part of people’s lives within the industrial revolution era 4.0. One of the most widely used social media in Instagram, a platform to upload photos and videos with various purposes. This paper identifies the use of Instagram in digital learning, particularly with posts related to food. Various features on Instagram were sorted and analyzed. The results showed that the feed and story are the most effective features to promote food-related posts in comparison to the other feature: IGTV. It has also been inferred that Instagram is the most popular social media for business purpose which is a good thing for the industry.
Open Access in Special Education: A Review of Journal and Publisher Policies

Open-access (OA) options, including preprints and postprints, provide free access to research, accelerate the dissemination of academic work, are associated with increased impact of scholarly work, and may aid in dissemination of null results. However, OA publishing is not an established practice for many special education researchers, and journal and publishers’ policies regarding OA are not always clear. In this article, we systematically reviewed OA policies (i.e., regarding preprints, postprints, OA publishing, article processing charges [APCs], and embargo periods) for 51 special education journals and five publishers of special education journals. Most journals provided few policies, only three journals provided information for each OA feature examined, and many journals and publishers reported substantial APCs and embargo periods over 18 months. We recommend journals and publishers clearly post OA policies and reduce APCs to foster broad and open dissemination of special education research.
Stress experienced by Polish sworn translators and interpreters

ABSTRACT Although there is some existing empirical research on job satisfaction and working conditions of court interpreters, little is known about specific stress factors inherent in the profession of a sworn translator and interpreter. The main aim of this study was to investigate psychological stress among sworn translators and interpreters working in the Polish-English language pair in the Republic of Poland by means of a self-designed online questionnaire. Among the main stress factors identified in the study were: the speaker’s delivery rate, translation and interpreting rates, non-cooperative translators and interpreters, sense of responsibility, as well as poor organisation of work. Sworn translators and interpreters were found to experience fatigue, back pain and eye irritation. Task-oriented coping was shown to be a predominant coping style among study respondents. The results of the study may offer a valuable contribution to translation and interpreting studies, stress research, and human factors in court interpreting.

The work presents results of studies of the technological process of copolymerization, physicochemical properties of the pollutant and its effect on human health. Results of experimental studies, confirming the phase transition of a pollutant into a gaseous state, are presented. Based on the data obtained, theoretical studies of the process of reducing air pollution were carried out, during which a physical model of reducing pollution was built and promising methods for ensuring technospheric safety were identified.
Psychological Contract for Human Development and Organizational Sustainability

Organizations can sustain different efforts toward human development, and employee–employer relationships can sustain the organizations to work toward their purpose. However, contemporary organizations are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of COVID-19, intensified globalization, increasingly diversified workforce, and continuous technological advancements, thereby impacting the way businesses and people are managed. Most of the work has transitioned to online, and employees are working from home due to pandemic situations. Organizations need to manage the emerging, complex employee–employer relationships in this new order of the world for the purpose of human development as well as organizational sustainability. In the absence of frequent employee–employer meetings at physical workplaces and the transition of the workspace into virtual workstations, we need to look at new ways of initiating and sustaining employee–employer relationships. In this conceptual article, we propose that different types of psychological contracts, like relational and transactional contracts, can contribute to these goals. Through a conceptual analysis of relevant literature, we first examine different aspects of the psychological contract—its types, antecedents, and consequences of different types of contract on organizations. Sustainable human development is related to organizational sustainability. We propose that a relational psychological contract may help in sustainable human development as well as organizational sustainability, whereas a transactional psychological contract moderates the relationship between sustainable human development and organizational sustainability.

Brexit, Covid‐19, and Possible Frameworks for Future UK/EU Financial Governance Cooperation

Abstract The EU project is at an inflection point. Intra‐EU alliances are altering following the UK's departure, the EU's financial markets remain segmented, and there is limited appetite for completing the Banking Union. The second stage of Brexit negotiations also collided with the Covid‐19 pandemic, which has strained economies around the world. These issues amount to a ‘polycrisis’ for the EU, raising existential questions about its future. This article focuses on one strand of the debates generated within this polycrisis: future UK/EU policy cooperation with respect to financial governance. The article discusses the importance of the financial services sector to the UK and the EU, and examines potential institutional options for future cooperation. In particular, it advocates harnessing dexterous aspects evident within precedents, including existing EU/third country association agreements, to develop a functional arrangement for future financial governance cooperation, which could also lead to closer UK/EU cooperation than currently appears likely.
Audit on induction time delays in operating room at Kibogora District Hospital: A quality improvement project

Background: Induction time delays in Operating room (OR) is an issue that affects the productivity of an operating unit especially in a setting with limited resources. It can also results in providing inappropriate services to the patients and their families. The aim of this study was to determine the causes of induction time delays and to propose solutions on how to avoid the reasons of delays. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted. It focused on elective general surgeries and orthopedic surgeries as they were mainly being performed during the study period. The data on the type of operation, the type of anesthesia, delay or no delay of induction (DOI) of anesthesia, causes of DOI were collected. DOI was considered as the time between the previous patient out of the OR and the next one in of more than 30 minutes. Emergency surgeries and elective obstetric surgeries were excluded from the study. Results: 24.8% of surgeries were done after delays of induction of anesthesia as opposed to 75.2% surgeries for which anesthesia was induced without delay. 48.6% of delays of induction to anesthesia were due to the hospital issues followed by anesthesia provision related issues. (40.0%). The surgery related and patient related issues accounted each one 5.7%. Conclusions: There was a high rate of surgeries that had delays in induction times. The OR managers need to work more with the hospital administration and the OR team to correct causes of delays.
Approximately Counting Butterflies in Large Bipartite Graph Streams

Bipartite graphs widely exist in real-world scenarios and model binary relations like host-website, author-paper, and user-product. In bipartite graphs, a butterfly (i.e., <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 2$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mo>×</mml:mo><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="li-ieq1-3062987.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula> bi-clique) is the smallest non-trivial cohesive structure and plays an important role in applications such as anomaly detection. Considerable efforts focus on counting butterflies in static bipartite graphs. However, they suffer from high time and space complexity when the bipartite graph of interest is given as a stream of edges. Although there are methods for approximately counting butterflies from bipartite graph streams, they suffer from either low accuracy or high time complexity. Therefore, it is still a challenge to accurately estimate butterfly counts from bipartite graph streams in a short time. To address this issue, we develop novel algorithms by exploiting the bipartite nature, which subtly integrates sampling and sketching techniques. We provide accurate estimators for butterfly counts and derive simple yet exact formulas for bounding their errors. We also conduct extensive experiments on a variety of real-world large bipartite graphs. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithms are up to 20.0 times more accurate and up to 286.3 times faster than state-of-the-art methods under the same memory usage.
