Authors: Rossen Hadjiev  , Margarita Tankova  , Stanislav Philipov
Published: November 2021

Background: Histopathological examination plays a significant role in the precise determination of the cause ofdeath. Death scene investigation, full medical history of the patient, thoroughly performed macroscopic explorationof the bodyand its internal organs, supported by the results from a microscopic histological examination of thetissues, determine the forensic medical autopsy standards. These, as well as the skills and the experience of theforensic medical expert, guarantee an accurate forensic medical diagnosis for the medico-legal needs.Methods: In order to sustain our preposition, we present a case from our practice. A man died during a hospitaltreatment for anemia and an autopsy, requested by the relatives, was performed. It was concluded that the causeof death was a hypostatic pneumonia. During the autopsy a histological material was taken but no examinationwas made. Months later, following a prosecutor’s order a histological examination was performed and evidencefor a disseminated intravascular coagulation was found.Conclusion: This is one of many cases in which there is a difference between the macroscopic and the histologicaldiagnosis. Histopathological examination of the internal organs for the purpose of providing a medical cause ofdeath is essential for the forensic practice and it should be undertaken whenever there is a doubt in the macroscopicdiagnosis.

Authors: Bhuiyan Mohammed Nuruzzaman , Giti Susane , Akhter Mahbuba , Hossen Mohammad Shameem Montasir , Rahman Moshiur
Published: November 2021

Background: There have been a wide variety of clinical publications on coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) focused on specific biomarkers. Acute-phase reactants, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, serum amyloid A (SAA), and procalcitonin, have been identified as sensitive markers of acute COVID-19 illness, even though they are nonspecific markers. Objective: The purpose of this study is to summarize the role of several biomarkers in the stratification of COVID-19 disease severity. Methods: This study followed systematic literature review method. The systematic review followed the review process as it was well developed and planned to reduce biases and eliminate irrelevant and low-quality studies. The steps for implementing a systematic review include correctly formulating the COVID-19 question to answer, developing a protocol based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, performing a detailed and broad literature search and screening the abstracts of the studies identified in the search and subsequently of the selected complete texts. After selecting the study, the next steps were synthesis of the evidence like extract the necessary data into a form designed in the protocol to summarise the included studies, assess the biases of each study, identifying the quality of the available evidence, and develop tables and text that synthesise the evidence. The secondary sources of data for this study included different published topics from national & international journals. Good number of Journal articles was taken regarding “Role of Biomarkers in the Stratification of COVID-19”. Published articles were collected from renowned indexing data source like PubMed, Medline, and Scopus. Etc. Conclusion: Significantly increased white blood cell count, lymphopenia, decreased CD3, CD4, or CD8 T-lymphocyte counts, high neutrophil count, thrombocytopenia, and dramatically elevated inflammatory biomarkers were all linked to severe disease and the probability of developing sepsis as the disease progressed. Progressive decreases with lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated CRP, procalcitonin, increased liver enzymes, impaired renal function, and coagulation derangements were more common in critically sick patients and were linked to a higher rate of clinical sequelae. In seriously and critically ill patients, elevated interleukin levels and significantly increased SAA were most frequently reported. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, the systemic immune inflammation index, and the COVID-19 Severity Score are all indicators of systemic inflammation that can be used to predict disease severity, outcome, and death.
Legislative regulation of the powers of intelligence agencies: a comparative analysis
Authors: Proshchaiev Volodymyr , Galeev Vadym
Published: November 2021

Based on the comparison of the Law of Ukraine "On Intelligence" with the legislative acts of some countries, the content, direction and completeness of the powers defined for the intelligence agencies have been clarified. The quality of legal regulations on the rights and responsibilities of intelligence agencies, their proximity to European standards has been studied. This is especially true of the problems of guaranteeing and respecting the constitutional rights of man and citizen during the implementation of intelligence measures against them within the defined powers.

It is proved that the state, represented by the legislator, transfers to the intelligence body as one of the subjects of the intelligence sphere a certain set of rights and responsibilities to dispose of them to achieve goals, solve tasks and perform the functions specified by law.

Peculiarities of the Ukrainian legislation concerning definition of powers of intelligence bodies are investigated. It is noted that all the rights granted by the domestic legislature to intelligence agencies can be divided into four groups, among which only one group reflects the functionality of intelligence.

The peculiarities of the legislative acts of Georgia, the Republic of Croatia, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Lithuania regarding the powers of the intelligence agencies have been determined.

It is proposed considerthe positive experience of these countries to improve domestic legislation, namely: it is desirable to define separately in the law the rights and responsibilities of intelligence agencies; responsibilities should be formulated in such a way that they correspond to the rights of other intelligence actors; the rights and responsibilities of the heads of intelligence agencies should not be defined in the general sense, as for the heads of other state bodies, but in accordance with their special functionality; it is advisable to formulate the rights and responsibilities of intelligence officials to perform a specific task, function or to conduct a separate intelligence event.

Keywords: national security, intelligence, intelligence agencies, legislative regulation of the powers of intelligence agencies.
The Effect of Sweet Lupine Seed Hulls on the Probiotic Viability of Strained Yogurt
Authors: Al-Asmari Fahad
Published: November 2021

Recent advances in gut microbial flora research have shown the health benefits of probiotic bacterial strains on the small and large intestines. These strains, particularly Bifidobacterium, offer health advantages, including obesity, atopic diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and intestinal cancers in the human body. However, food components, additives, and processing-related factors can have an impact on probiotic survival. As a result, adding appropriate supplements to increase the viability of probiotics may be necessary for some food products. This study investigated the influence of sweet lupine (Lupineus albus L.) seed hulls (SLSH) on the probiotic viability of strained yogurt. Traditional strained yogurt prepared using Bifidobacterium bifidum and the two starter culture strains Streptococcus thermophiles, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The strained yogurt was supplemented with different concentrations of SLSH (1, 2, and 3%). Over 7 to 14 days of cold storage, the total bacterial cells were enumerated. The result showed B. bifidum strains increasing more than double with a slight decrease in the starter culture strains. The overall acceptance of strained yogurt supplemented with 1% SLSH was convenient, compared to 2% and 3% of SLSH.

Treatment of Turbine Blades via Cr2O3-Ni5%Al System Using Plasma Thermal Spraying
Authors: Mouhson Esraa , Humeedi Sufian , Darweesh Salih , Ahmed Adnan
Published: November 2021

A plasma thermal spraying method was used for the purpose of coating the pre-prepared surfaces of turbine blades. Chromium oxide (Cr2O3) was used as a matrix reinforced with a metal material of Ni-5%Al at rates of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. The cermet powders were stirred for one hour then used to coat bases of steel (316L). A spray distance of 8cm was applied, and the binding material of Ni-22%Cr-10%Al-1%Y was sprayed with a thickness of 100μm. Then, the reinforced matrix was sprayed with a thickness of 300–350μm and the final thickness of the samples prepared was 400–450μm. The samples produced were sintered at 900°C for an hour and a half and underwent a hardness test, which gave the best hardness of the samples after sintering at a reinforcement rate of 50% by 612Hv. The lowest porosity value for the above rate was obtained at 3.88%. The results of the adhesive strength gave a value of 31.5 MPa after sintering and at the same 50% reinforcement. The results of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that there was weakness and cracking in the coating layers at the low reinforcement ratios. However, the mechanical and physical properties improved with the increase in reinforcement ratios to reach the highest value of 50%.

Bayesian paired comparison with the bpcs package
Authors: Issa Mattos David , Martins Silva Ramos Érika
Published: November 2021

This article introduces the R package (Bayesian Paired Comparison in Stan) and the statistical models implemented in the package. This package aims to facilitate the use of Bayesian models for paired comparison data in behavioral research. Bayesian analysis of paired comparison data allows parameter estimation even in conditions where the maximum likelihood does not exist, allows easy extension of paired comparison models, provides straightforward interpretation of the results with credible intervals, has better control of type I error, has more robust evidence towards the null hypothesis, allows propagation of uncertainties, includes prior information, and performs well when handling models with many parameters and latent variables. The package provides a consistent interface for R users and several functions to evaluate the posterior distribution of all parameters to estimate the posterior distribution of any contest between items and to obtain the posterior distribution of the ranks. Three reanalyses of recent studies that used the frequentist Bradley–Terry model are presented. These reanalyses are conducted with the Bayesian models of the package, and all the code used to fit the models, generate the figures, and the tables are available in the online appendix.
Günter Grass’ın “Yengeç Yürüyüşü” Romanında ‘Konrad’ Karakterini Dijital Kuşak Olarak Çözümleme
Authors: KAYĞIN Şenay
Published: November 2021

“Yengeç Yürüyüşü” romanında, 1945 yılında Nasyonal Sosyalist dönemde torpillenen ‘Wilhelm Gustloff’ gemisinin batırılış öyküsüyle birlikte Pokriefke ailesinin üç kuşak üyelerinin de aile öyküsüne yer verilmiştir.‘Y kuşağı’ teknolojiye olan yatkınlığı ile bilinirken, günümüzde ‘Z kuşağı’, iletişim araçları olarak internet ve akıllı telefonları daha etkin bir şekilde kullanmaktadır. Bu durumda her iki dijital kuşak da iletişim teknolojilerini iyi derecede kullanan teknoloji gurusu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Dijital temelli teknolojik gelişmelerin yaşamı değiştirmeye başladığı iki binli yıllar bu bağlamda dönüm noktası olarak ele alınabilir. Romanın olay örgüsünde 1995’lere gelindiğinde genç Konrad’ın dijital iletişim aracı olarak bilgisayar kullanması sonucunda internetten beslenen antisemitizmle yollarının kesişmesinin de öyküsü anlatılır. Romanda, ben-anlatıcı Paul'un başarısız gazetecilik kariyeri, ironik bir şekilde, yetenekli bir bilgisayar kullanıcısı olan oğlu Konrad'ın Neo-Nazilerin www.blutzeuge.de sayfasını düzenli olarak ziyaret etmesi gerçeği ile bir paradox oluşturur. Baba Paul’un başarısızlığının aksine Konrad, büyükanne Tulla’nın yardımıyla bir bilgisayar edinerek ihtiyacı olan bilgiyi elde etmekte başarılı olacaktır. Ancak, istediği bilgiye kavuşan Konrad, internet aracılığıyla bir yandan başarılı araştırmalara imza atarken öte yandan da internet üzerinden tanıştığı bir genci öldürme eylemine karışır. Bu olayla Nasyonal Sosyalist döneminin ideolojik propaganda çalışmalarının Neonazizm aracılığıyla yürütülmeye devam edildiğine bir göndermede bulunulduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada üçüncü kuşak aile üyesi olan Konrad’ın dijital ortamı kullanarak kendisinden önceki kuşakların hatalarını yinelediği kesitler, metin odaklı bir yaklaşımla irdelenerek örnek ve alıntılarla çözümlenmeye çalışılacaktır.
Alman Gençlik Romanlarında “Siber Zorbalık” Konusunun Kurgulanışı Üzerine
Authors: ATİK Oktay
Published: November 2021

Günümüz genç nesli bilgisayar, akıllı telefon ve internetle çocukluk çağında tanışan bireylerden oluşur. Bir yandan, yeni nesle dair yapılan çalışmalar gençlerin medya yetilerinden övgüyle bahseder, diğer yandan bu medya yetileri bazı sorunları beraberinde getirir. Teknolojik olanakların bilgiye erişimi kolaylaştırması ve art niyetli kullanıcılara fırsat yaratması dijitalleşmenin sorunlarından biridir. Ne var ki, sanal ortamdaki bilgilerin ele geçirilmesi, kötüye kullanımı, telefon ve bilgisayarın ele geçirilmesi, hatta kısa mesaj yoluyla tehdit “siber zorbalık” sorununu ortaya çıkarır. Siber zorbalığı ele alan gençlik romanları incelenmesi gereken bir konudur ve çalışmada bunu konu edinen Alman gençlik romanlarının kurgusu irdelenerek ülkemizde örneklerine pek rastlanmayan bu yeni olgunun kurgusal özelliklerinin tanıtılması amaçlanmıştır.
Türkiye’de Kovid 19 Pandemi Sürecine Bağlı Uzaktan Eğitimin Almanca Öğretimine Etkisi
Authors: KARAMAN Fatma
Published: November 2021

Kovid 19 pandemi sürecinin başlamasıyla Türkiye’de üniversitelerdeki her bölüm, derslerini sahip oldukları uzaktan eğitim olanakları çerçevesinde sürdürmek zorunda kalmıştır. Beklenmeyen bu durum, eğitim sürecinde birçok öğretim alanında olduğu gibi Almanca öğretiminde de birçok problemi beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı pandemi sürecine bağlı olarak uzaktan eğitimin Almanca eğitimine etkilerini Kovid 19 pandemi süreci ve kısıtlamalara ilişkin genel görüşler, alınan eğitimin uzaktan olmasına ilişkin olumlu ve olumsuz görüşler, teknolojik donanım, öğretim etkinlikleri, materyal boyutu, etkileşim, ölçme ve değerlendirme boyutu ve uzaktan eğitim sürecine ilişkin öneriler olmak üzere sekiz tema altında, Almanca öğretmenliği lisans programında öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerin deneyimleri ve görüşleri doğrultusunda araştırmaktır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için nitel araştırma deseni kapsamında olgubilim yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın araştırma grubu Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Almanca Öğretmenliği lisans Programında öğrenim gören öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Almanca öğretmeni adaylarının uzaktan eğitime ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla veri toplama tekniklerinden biri olan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın tüm verileri çevrimiçi ortamda videokonferans yoluyla yapılan görüşmelerden elde edilen verilerden oluşmaktadır. Görüşme tekniğiyle elde edilen verilerin analiz edilmesinde betimsel analiz kullanılmıştır.

Araştırma sonucunda genel olarak uzaktan eğitimin günlük yaşama ve eğitim hayatına olumsuz etkilerinin daha fazla olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulardan Almanca öğretmenliği programındaki alan derslerinin uzaktan eğitime uygun olmadığı, uzaktan eğitim yönteminin 4 temel dil becerisini geliştirmede yeterli olmadığı; ancak uzaktan eğitim sürecinin az da olsa alıcı becerileri geliştirdiği; üretimsel becerileri ise geliştirmediği anlaşılmaktadır.

Published: November 2021

Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Identitätsbildung mit der Fremdsprache bei DaF-Lehramtstudierendenanhand eines Stummfilms zu untersuchen. Es wird der Beitrag der Stummfilme und der Lehramtstudierenden mit und ohne Auslandserfahrung zur Identität mit der zu erlernenden Sprache herausgearbeitet. Als Forschungsfragen gelten: 1- Wie handeln die DaF-Lehramtstudierendenmit und ohne Deutschland-Erfahrung ineiner Gruppe? 2-Imitieren die Lehramtstudierendenohne Deutschland-ErfahrungdieLehramtstudierendenmit Deutschland-Erfahrung? 3- Fördern sie sich gegenseitig in der Fremdsprache? Diese Studie basiert aus der Sicht des symbolischen Interaktionismus auf einer qualitativen, pragmatischen Betrachtungsweise, die die Perspektive der Soziologie in Bezug zur symbolischen Kommunikation, ausgehend von der Betrachtungsweise Meads, in die Fremdsprachenlehre anzuwenden versucht.

Während der Vorführung des Stummfilms wurden an bestimmten Stellen des Vorspielens gestoppt und die Kommentare der Studenten aufgenommen. Nach der Durchführung wurde im offenen Plenar nach ihrer Ansicht und ihrer Bildung zur Identität durch die Zielsprache anhand von halbstrukturierten Interviewfragen nachgefragt, inwieweit Stummfilme zur Übernahme der Handlungsweisen der zu erlernenden Sprache und ihrem Selbstbewusstsein beitragen, die durch die symbolische Kommunikation den bestimmten gesellschaftlichen Prozessen entsprechen. Durch diesen Beitrag wird die Bildung der Identität der Fremdsprachenlerner mit der Gesellschaft, deren Sprache sie lernen, dargelegt und sie soll auf weitere qualitative Analysen in der Fremdsprachenlehre als Grundlage dienen können.
Vorlesen als Impuls zur Leseförderung in der sprachlichen und kulturellen Bildung
Authors: KARACABEY Seval
Published: November 2021

Fremdsprachige Literatur impliziert bei Lernenden durchaus noch große Berührungsängste auch im fortgeschrittenen Stadium. Im Sinne einer sprachlichen und kulturellen Bildung sollte auf die Lektüre in der Originalsprache keinesfalls verzichtet werden. So wird insbesondere im deutschen Kulturraum das Vorlesen als Grundlage zur Entwicklung von Lesemotivation und Lesesozialisation eingesetzt. Das Vorlesen trägt in besonderer Weise zur Bildung, zur Sprachentwicklung, zur Aneignung der Kommunikations- und Ausdrucksfähigkeit bei. Durch Vorlesen kann der Zugang zur Literatur unterstützt und in unterschiedlichen Bildungsphasen gefördert werden. Untersuchungen haben nachgewiesen, dass das Vorlesen positive Auswirkungen auf die Lesemotivation und im Anschluss auf die Lesekompetenz haben kann. Wesentlich sind hier u.a. das Wissen der Lehrperson um die unterschiedlichen Vorlesephasen, sowie die Textauswahl. In diesem Beitrag geht es um die Relevanz des Vorlesens bei der Leseförderung im DaF/ DaZ-Bereich, somit in der sprachlichen und kulturellen Bildung. Als Ausgangspunkt dient in diesem Kontext ein Blick auf die Vorlesetradition in der türkischen und deutschen Gesellschaft, um auf die unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen in der Vorlesekultur hinzuweisen. In diesem Rahmen liegt der Fokus auf der Frage: Wie kann die Literalität im Fremdsprachenunterricht eingesetzt werden, um das Erlernen einer Sprache zu unterstützen? Darauf aufbauend werden Erfahrungen von Lehrpersonen und empirische Ergebnisse zum Vorlesen in der deutschen Gesellschaft thematisiert und erlӓutert und einige Konzepte vorgestellt. Ausgehend davon werden schließlich Überlegungen und Möglichkeiten für die Praxis, sowie konkrete Tipps zur Umsetzbarkeit im DaF/ DaZ-Bereich am Beispiel von Uwe Timms Kinderroman „Die Zugmaus“ diskutiert. In diesem Roman nimmt eine Maus die Leser auf eine Reise durch unterschiedliche Länder mit. Dadurch ist das Buch abwechslungsreich und spannend zugleich und zum Vorlesen besonders geeignet. Dies kann als Zeichen dafür gewertet werden, dass das Vorlesen als Leseförderungsmaßnahme für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene auch im Studium Freude bereiten kann.

Published: November 2021

La calidad del ambiente térmico es determinante en la sensación térmica percibida del usuario, por lo que los efectos de los sistemas constructivos utilizados en la edificación son clave en la habitabilidad térmica del espacio. El conocer el desempeño térmico con la técnica de monitoreo permite una evaluación realista bajo las condiciones del microclima donde se construye. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el ambiente térmico del periodo de transición y frío de dos viviendas construidas con un sistema constructivo de ensamblado (Thermorock), aplicado en muros y techo, para establecer las variaciones de temperatura de bulbo seco en su interior comparándolas con un caso base de un sistema de uso predominante en un clima cálido seco extremoso (Mexicali, Baja California). Se desarrolló una estrategia de monitoreo con siete puntos de medición en una vivienda; dos puntos en otra y dos más en una vivienda de referencia, más un sensor al exterior en cada una de las viviendas. Se colocaron los sensores con base en la normatividad de ISO 7726 y ASTM 168 – 97. Los resultados indican que el sistema evaluado permite condiciones de confort térmico para los usuarios en un clima desértico.

Published: November 2021

In this work, theoretical and experimental results of solid-state resonant circuits for the transmission and reception of wireless electrical energy, for applications in mobile devices are presented. Analytical expressions are found to calculate the voltage range as a function of the distance between the emitter and the load, as well as the current at the front end of an electromagnetic wave receiver. These expressions show the parameters to be varied to achieve a greater range in the transmission of wireless electrical energy. The transmitted voltage and current are measured by an electromagnetic wave receiver and compared with theoretical values, finding an excellent correspondence between the two.

Published: November 2021

During the Covid-19 pandemic, teacher problems increased to maintain the effective implementation of mathematics learning. The available classical and individual concrete manipulative product innovations cannot be used in learning because learning policies during the pandemic still have to be carried out as distance learning. To overcome this problem, assistance was carried out in making videos of using concrete manipulatives to MGMP as concrete manipulative virtualization. The results of this activity show that there is an increase in the average score of the overall pre-self test competence to the post-self test. The same is true for each competency. In addition to producing video products on target, video quality is better, as well as increasing personal partners who act as actors and narrators. As a suggestion in this activity, mentoring continues to be carried out on an ongoing basis as a stage of diffusion of other innovation products and guidance for MGMP and partners of this activity can transmit to other MGMP member teachers.

Lithium Enrichment Signatures of Planetary Engulfment Events in Evolved Stars
Authors: Soares-Furtado Melinda , Cantiello Matteo , MacLeod Morgan , Ness Melissa K.
Published: November 2021

Planetary engulfment events have long been proposed as a lithium (Li) enrichment mechanism contributing to the population of Li-rich giants (A(Li) ≥ 1.5 dex). Using MESA stellar models and A(Li) abundance measurements obtained by the GALAH survey, we calculate the strength and observability of the surface Li enrichment signature produced by the engulfment of a hot Jupiter (HJ). We consider solar-metallicity stars in the mass range of 1–2 M
⊙ and the Li supplied by a HJ of 1.0 M
J. We explore engulfment events that occur near the main-sequence turn-off (MSTO) and out to orbital separations of R
⋆ ∼ 0.1 au = 22 R
⊙. We map our results onto the Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram, revealing the statistical significance and survival time of Li enrichment. We identify the parameter space of masses and evolutionary phases where the engulfment of a HJ can lead to Li enrichment signatures at a 5σ confidence level and with meteoritic abundance strengths. The most compelling strengths and survival times of engulfment-derived Li enrichment are found among host stars of 1.4 M
⊙ near the MSTO. Our calculations indicate that planetary engulfment is not a viable enrichment pathway for stars that have evolved beyond the subgiant branch. For these sources, observed Li enhancements are likely to be produced by other mechanisms, such as the Cameron–Fowler process or the accretion of material from an asymptotic giant branch companion. Our results do not account for second-order effects, such as extra mixing processes, which can further dilute Li enrichment signatures.

Planets are like children with each one being unique and special. A better understanding of their collective properties requires a deeper understanding of each planet. Here we add the transit and eclipse spectra of hot-Jupiter WASP-74b into the ever growing data set of exoplanet atmosphere spectral library. With six transits and three eclipses using the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope (Spitzer), we present the most complete and precise atmospheric spectra of WASP-74b. We found no evidence for TiO/VO nor super-Rayleigh scattering reported in previous studies. The transit shows a muted water feature with strong Rayleigh scattering extending into the infrared. The eclipse shows a featureless blackbody-like WFC3/G141 spectrum and a weak methane absorption feature in the Spitzer 3.6 μm band. Future James Webb Space Telescope follow-up observations are needed to confirm these results.
An Improved Numerical Fit to the Peak Harmonic Gravitational Wave Frequency Emitted by an Eccentric Binary
Authors: Hamers Adrian S.
Published: November 2021

I present a numerical fit to the peak harmonic gravitational wave frequency emitted by an eccentric binary system in the post-Newtonian approximation. This fit significantly improves upon a previous commonly-used fit in population synthesis studies, in particular for eccentricities ≲0.8.
New species of Omma Newman from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera, Archostemata, Ommatidae)
Authors: Li Yan-Da , Huang Di-Ying , Cai Chen‑Yang
Published: November 2021

A new fossil species of the extant archostematan genus Omma Newman, O. fortesp. nov., is reported from mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. The extinct ommatid genus, Cionocups Kirejtshuk from the same deposit, is considered as a junior synonym of Omma, and C. manukyani is transferred to Omma, as O. manukyanicomb. nov. A key to species of Omma from Burmese amber is also provided.
Informal Caregivers' Perspectives on the Mandated No Visitation Policy During COVID-19 Pandemic in Long-Term Care: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Hovey Susan , Shropshire Michele D.
Published: November 2021

The current descriptive qualitative study aimed to explore how informal caregivers of persons residing in long-term care (LTC) facilities are coping with the no visitation policy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted approximately 1 month after the no visitation policy was implemented. Interview questions explored how informal caregivers are feeling, coping, and staying connected and involved with loved ones residing in LTC. Recruitment (
N
= 14) occurred through social media, email, and word of mouth. To maintain social distance and reduce transmission risk, interviews were conducted by phone. Through systematic data reduction, six themes emerged: (a)
Reminiscing About Life Before COVID-19
, (b)
Feelings Related to Physical Separation
, (c)
Our Loved Ones Are Lonely and Don't Understand
, (d)
Creating Ways to Stay Connected
, (e)
Recognition and Concern for LTC Staff
, and (f)
Coping During Future No Visitation Mandates
. Results of this study may assist LTC administrators and nurses if no visitation policies are required in the future. [

Arthroscopic Evaluation of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon: Traditional Versus Allis Clamp Techniques
Authors: Parnes Nata , Perrine Jeff , Tomaino Matthew M.
Published: November 2021

Using a probe to retract the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) into the joint is common practice for visualizing the extra-articular portions during arthroscopy. However, extra-articular lesions may be missed in up to half of cases. Greater excursion of the LHBT may be achieved with an Allis clamp grasper. Our goal was to quantify portions of the extra-articular LHBT that could be visualized during shoulder arthroscopy with the Allis clamp and probe techniques. Shoulder arthroscopy was performed on 8 forequarter cadaveric specimens in the simulated beach chair position, and the most distal extent of the intra-articular LHBT was marked. The tendon was pulled into the joint with both techniques, and the additional exposed tendon portion was marked. An open approach was performed, and the locations of the 3 marks were assessed relative to total tendon length. Mean LHBT total length was 96.25 mm. Diagnostic arthroscopy allowed visualization of a mean of 21.75 mm of the intra-articular tendon (22.6% of the total length). The traditional probe technique provided visualization of 31.13 mm (32.8%). The Allis clamp technique provided visualization of 49.38 mm (52%) and increased visualization of the LHBT by 58.6% (
P
<.0001). A mean of 46.87 mm (48%) of the LHBT remained unvisualized. The Allis clamp technique maximizes arthroscopic visualization of extra-articular LHBT. The distal 48% eludes evaluation, but can be visualized when combined with an open technique without the need to divide the transverse humeral ligament. The Allis clamp technique facilitates additional identification of LHBT pathology that could otherwise remain hidden during shoulder arthroscopy. Because the LHBT is a major source of pain in the shoulder, this technique may improve outcomes of shoulder arthroscopy and reduce the need for revision because of remnant anterior shoulder pain. [

Impact of 2013 ACGME Minimum Case Requirements on Orthopedic Resident Operative Volume
Authors: Sabharwal Samir , Toci Gregory R. , D'Sa Adam A. , Nayar Suresh K. , LaPorte Dawn M.
Published: November 2021

In 2013, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandated orthopedic surgery residents to perform at least 1000 surgical cases during residency and specified “case minimums” for 15 core procedure categories. We assessed trends in the volume and variability of graduating orthopedic surgery resident caseload since the implementation of these case minimums. We performed a retrospective linear regression analysis of ACGME-published case log data of US orthopedic residents graduating from 2014 to 2019, with trend analysis, comparison of case volume between residents in 10th and 90th percentiles, and comparison of logged cases vs case minimums for core procedures. Median total procedures performed increased from 1464 (range, 592–2842) in 2014 to 1709 (range, 870–3318) in 2019, representing a 17% increase in case volume (
P
<.001). Residents performing at the 90th percentile logged twice as many cases as residents performing at the 10th percentile. Of the core procedures, carpal tunnel release and total knee arthroplasty most greatly exceeded ACGME requirements (performed at 4.3 to 4.7 times the minimums, respectively). Graduating resident case volume increased significantly from 2014 to 2019. Variability in operative experience remains high and did not change significantly during the study period. [

Asymptotic behavior of non-autonomous fractional stochastic lattice systems with multiplicative noise
Authors: Chen Yiju , Wang Xiaohu
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of non-autonomous fractional stochastic lattice systems with multiplicative noise. The considered systems are driven by the fractional discrete Laplacian, which features the infinite-range interactions. We first prove the existence of pullback random attractor in \begin{document}$ \ell^2 $\end{document} for stochastic lattice systems. The upper semicontinuity of random attractors is also established when the intensity of noise approaches zero.
