Rethinking Our Values to Achieve Emancipatory Design
Authors: Webb Jennifer , Williams Brent T
Published: December 2019

The need for inclusive environments accommodating the entire range of human functioning, both people with disabilities as well as those who are not presently disabled, has not been achieved despite decades of discussion and a growing list of standards and legislation. Perhaps because disability has always been a part of human existence and has been part of the discourse in environmental design for decades, it is not viewed as emergent and the inclusion of people with disabilities is not seen as a crisis. Nonetheless, people with disabilities represent one of the largest marginalised segments of our population. Inclusion does not subvert the other issues with regard to function or aesthetics but fulfils all criteria necessary to achieve good design.
This paper explores critical aspects of emancipatory research and identifies opportunities for what should rightly be called emancipatory design. The most significant characteristics relevant to developing emancipatory design values include: 1) redistributing power within the social relationships of design; 2) adopting the biopsychosocial model of disability; and 3) facilitating users’ reciprocity, gain and empowerment. These fundamental strategies are necessary to ensure a long-term engagement in social justice and achieve good design.
Inclusive design is essentially a value-based process, which takes as its premise the fact that everyone has a right to participate in community life. Consequently, a powerful argument to support the importance of teaching inclusive design is the need to assist students in the development of their own set of values to underpin their future practice as built environment professionals. Inclusive design can fulfil this important function. It is clear that teaching students to administer technical codes or interpret legislation for equal rights is an important part of the preparation of a student for professional practice, but this approach without the philosophical underpinning is unlikely to result in an inclusive environment.1

Published: December 2019

With modern advances in radar technologies and increased complexity in aerial battle, there is need for knowledge acquisition on the abilities and operating characteristics of intercepted hostile systems. The required knowledge obtained through advanced signal processing is necessary for either real time-warning or in order to determine Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) of these systems. An algorithm was therefore developed in this paper based on a joint Time-Frequency Distribution (TFD) in order to identify the time-frequency agility of radar signals based on its changing pulse characteristics. The joint TFD used in this paper was the square magnitude of the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), where power and frequency obtained at instants of time from its Time-Frequency Representation (TFR) was used to estimate the time and frequency parameters of the radar signals respectively. Identification was thereafter done through classification of the signals using a rule-based classifier formed from the estimated time and frequency parameters. The signals considered in this paper were the simple pulsed, pulse repetition interval modulated, frequency hopping and the agile pulsed radar signals, which represent cases of various forms of agility associated with modern radar technologies. Classification accuracy was verified using the Monte Carlo simulation performed at various ranges of Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) in the presence of noise modelled by the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Results obtained showed identification accuracy of 99% irrespective of the signal at a minimum SNR of 0dB where signal and noise power were the same. The obtained minimum SNR at this classification accuracy showed that the developed algorithm can be deployed practically in the electronic warfare field for accurate agility classification of airborne radar signals.
More capture, more suppression: Distractor suppression due to statistical regularities is determined by the magnitude of attentional capture
Authors: Failing Michel , Theeuwes Jan
Published: December 2019

Salient yet irrelevant objects often interfere with daily tasks by capturing attention against our best interests and intentions. Recent research has shown that through implicit learning, distraction by a salient object can be reduced by suppressing the location where this distractor is likely to appear. Here, we investigated whether suppression of such high-probability distractor locations is an all-or-none phenomenon or specifically tuned to the degree of interference caused by the distractor. In two experiments, we varied the salience of two task-irrelevant singleton distractors each of which was more likely to appear in one specific location in the visual field. We show that the magnitude of interference by a distractor determines the magnitude of suppression for its high-probability location: The more salient a distractor, the more it becomes suppressed when appearing in its high-probability location. We conclude that distractor suppression emerges as a consequence of the spatial regularities regarding the location of a distractor as well as its potency to interfere with attentional selection.
Infants look longer at colours that adults like when colours are highly saturated
Authors: Skelton A. E. , Franklin A.
Published: December 2019

The extent to which aesthetic preferences are ‘innate’ has been highly debated (Reber, Schwarz, & Winkielman, Personality and Social Psychology Review, 8(4), 364–382, 2004). For some types of visual stimuli infants look longer at those that adults prefer. It is unclear whether this is also the case for colour. A lack of relationship in prior studies between how long infants look at different colours and how much adults like those colours might be accounted for by stimulus limitations. For example, stimuli may have been too desaturated for infant vision. In the current study, using saturated colours more suitable for infants, we aim to quantify the relationship between infant looking and adult preference for colour. We take infant looking times at multiple hues from a study of infant colour categorization (Skelton, Catchpole, Abbott, Bosten, & Franklin, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 114(21), 5545–5550, 2017) and then measure adult preferences and compare these to infant looking. When colours are highly saturated, infants look longer at colours that adults prefer. Both infant looking time and adult preference are greatest for blue hues and are least for green-yellow. Infant looking and adult preference can be partly summarized by activation of the blue-yellow dimension in the early encoding of human colour vision. These findings suggest that colour preference is at least partially rooted in the sensory mechanisms of colour vision, and more broadly that aesthetic judgements may in part be due to underlying sensory biases.
Vibration analysis and pull-in instability behavior in multi walled piezoelectric nano-sensor with fluid flow conveyance: influences of surface/interface energy
Authors: Hashemi Kachapi Sayyid H
Published: December 2019

In this work, surface/interface effects for pull-in voltage and viscous fluid velocity effects on dimensionless natural frequency (DNF) of fluid-conveying multi walled piezoelectric nanoresonator (FC-MWPENS) based on cylindrical nanoshell is investigated using the Gurtin–Murdoch surface/interface theory. The nano-sensor is embedded in viscoelastic foundation, nonlinear van der Waals and electrostatic forces. Hamilton’s principle is used for deriving of the governing equations and boundary conditions and also the assumed mode method is used for changing the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equation. The influences of the surface/interface effect such as Lame’s constants, residual stress, piezoelectric constants and mass density are considered for analysis of dimensionless natural frequency respect to viscous fluid velocity and pull-in voltage of FC-MWPENS.
SOAR TESS Survey. I. Sculpting of TESS Planetary Systems by Stellar Companions
Authors: Ziegler Carl , Tokovinin Andrei , Briceño César , Mang James , Law Nicholas , Mann Andrew W.
Published: December 2019

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is finding transiting planet candidates around bright, nearby stars across the entire sky. The large field of view, however, results in low spatial resolution; therefore, multiple stars contribute to almost every TESS light curve. High angular resolution imaging can detect the previously unknown companions to planetary candidate hosts that dilute the transit depths, lead to host star ambiguity, and, in some cases, are the source of false-positive transit signals. We use speckle imaging on the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope to search for companions to 542 TESS planet candidate hosts in the southern sky. We provide correction factors for the 117 systems with resolved companions due to photometric contamination. The contamination in TESS due to close binaries is similar to that found in surveys of Kepler planet candidates. For the solar-type population, we find a deep deficit of close binary systems with projected stellar separations less than 100 au among planet candidate hosts (44 observed binaries compared to 124 expected based on field binary statistics). The close binary suppression among TESS planet candidate hosts is similar to that seen for the more distant Kepler population. We also find a large surplus of TESS planet candidates in wide binary systems detected in both SOAR and Gaia DR2 (119 observed binaries compared to 77 expected). These wide binaries almost exclusively host giant planets, however, suggesting that orbital migration caused by perturbations from the stellar companion may lead to planet–planet scattering and suppress the population of small planets in wide binaries. Both trends are also apparent in the M dwarf planet candidate hosts.
Catastrophic Cooling in Superwinds: Line Emission and Non-equilibrium Ionization
Authors: Gray William J. , Oey M. S. , Silich Sergiy , Scannapieco Evan
Published: December 2019

Outflows are a pervasive feature of mechanical feedback from super star clusters (SSCs) in starburst galaxies, playing a fundamental role in galaxy evolution. Observations are now starting to confirm that outflows can undergo catastrophic cooling, suppressing adiabatic superwinds. Here we present a suite of one-dimensional, hydrodynamic simulations that study the ionization structure of these outflows and the resulting line emission generated by the cooling gas. We use the non-equilibrium atomic chemistry package within MAIHEM, our modified version of FLASH, which evolves the ionization state of the gas and computes the total cooling rate on an ion-by-ion basis. We find that catastrophically cooling models produce strong nebular line emission compared to adiabatic outflows. We also show that such models exhibit non-equilibrium conditions, thereby generating more highly ionized states than equivalent equilibrium models. When including photoionization from the parent SSC, catastrophically cooling models show strong C iv
λ1549 and O vi
λ1037 emission. For density-bounded photoionization, He ii
λ1640, λ4686, C iii] λ1908, Si iv
λ1206, and Si iii
λ1400 are also strongly enhanced. These lines are seen in extreme starbursts where catastrophic cooling is likely to occur, suggesting that they may serve as diagnostics of such conditions. The higher ionization generated by these flows may help to explain line emission that cannot be attributed to SSC photoionization alone.
Revisiting Metastable Dark Energy and Tensions in the Estimation of Cosmological Parameters
Authors: Li Xiaolei , Shafieloo Arman , Sahni Varun , Starobinsky Alexei A.
Published: December 2019

We investigate constraints on some key cosmological parameters by confronting metastable dark energy (DE) models with different combinations of the most recent cosmological observations. Along with the standard ΛCDM model, two phenomenological metastable DE models are considered: (i) DE decays exponentially, (ii) DE decays into dark matter. We find that: (1) when considering the most recent supernovae and BAO data, and assuming a fiducial ΛCDM model, the inconsistency in the estimated value of the

parameter obtained by either including or excluding Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) data becomes very much substantial and points to a clear tension; (2) although the two metastable DE models that we study provide greater flexibility in fitting the data, and they indeed fit the supernovae (SNe) Ia+BAO data substantially better than ΛCDM, they are not able to alleviate this tension significantly when CMB data are included; (3) while local measurements of the Hubble constant are significantly higher relative to the estimated value of H
0 in our models (obtained by fitting to SNe Ia and BAO data), the situation seems to be rather complicated with hints of inconsistency among different observational data sets (CMB, SNe Ia+BAO, and local H
0 measurements). Our results indicate that we might not be able to remove the current tensions among different cosmological observations by considering simple modifications of the standard model or by introducing minimal DE models. A complicated form of expansion history, different systematics in different data and/or a nonconventional model of the early universe might be responsible for these tensions.
Discovery of Four Apparently Cold Dusty Galaxies at z = 3.62–5.85 in the COSMOS Field: Direct Evidence of Cosmic Microwave Background Impact on High-redshift Galaxy Observables

Published: December 2019

We report Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of four high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxy candidates selected from far-infrared (FIR)/submillimeter observations in the COSMOS field. We securely detect all galaxies in the continuum and spectroscopically confirm them at z = 3.62–5.85 using ALMA 3 mm line scans, detecting multiple CO and/or [C i] transitions. This includes the most distant dusty galaxy currently known in the COSMOS field, ID85001929 at z = 5.847. These redshifts are lower than we had expected, as these galaxies have substantially colder dust temperatures (i.e., their spectral energy distributions peak at longer rest-frame wavelengths) than most literature sources at z > 4. The observed cold dust temperatures are best understood as evidence for optically thick dust continuum in the FIR, rather than the result of low star formation efficiency with rapid metal enrichment. We provide direct evidence that, given their cold spectral energy distributions, cosmic microwave background (CMB) plays a significant role in biasing their observed Rayleigh–Jeans (RJ) slopes to unlikely steep values and, possibly, reducing their CO fluxes by a factor of two. We recover standard RJ slopes when the CMB contribution is taken into account. High-resolution ALMA imaging shows compact morphology and evidence for mergers. This work reveals a population of cold dusty star-forming galaxies that were underrepresented in current surveys and are even colder than typical main-sequence galaxies at the same redshift. High FIR dust optical depth might be a widespread feature of compact starbursts at any redshift.
ALMA Observations of Atomic Carbon [C i] (3P1 → 3P0) and Low-J CO Lines in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 1808

cm−3) molecular gas with high column density of atomic carbon (

cm−2) in the circumnuclear disk (central 100 pc). The C i/H2 abundance in the central 1 kpc is

The intensity ratios of [C i]/CO (1–0) and [C i]/CO (3–2), respectively, decrease and increase with radius in the central 1 kpc, whereas [C i]/CO (2–1) is uniform within statistical errors. The result can be explained by excitation and optical depth effects, since the effective critical density of CO (2–1) is comparable to that of [C i]. The distribution of [C i] is similar to that of 13CO (2–1), and the ratios of [C i] to 13CO (2–1) and C18O (2–1) are uniform within

in the central

pc starburst disk. The results suggest that [C i]

luminosity can be used as a CO-equivalent tracer of molecular gas mass, although caution is needed when applied in resolved starburst nuclei (e.g., circumnuclear disk), where the [C i]/CO (1–0) luminosity ratio is enhanced owing to high excitation and atomic carbon abundance. The [C i]/CO (1–0) intensity ratio toward the base of the starburst-driven outflow is

Correlation of Ki-67 Expression as Tumor cell Proliferation Activity Marker with Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Grading
Authors: Alferally Ibnu T. , Munir D. , Putra I. B. , Sembiring R. J.
Published: December 2019

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) is a malignant keratinocyte tumour that develops through the suprabasal epidermis. This malignant tumour is the second most common skin malignancy after Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). The increased incidence of cSCC is directly proportional to increasing age. Generally, the predisposing factor of cSCC is exposure to recurrent sunlight for a long time, so localisation of cSCC is a part of the body that often exposed to direct sunlight, such as the forehead, face, ears, scalp, neck, and back of the hand. The carcinogenesis process of cSCC is a cumulation of a series of events, one of which plays an important role is the proliferation index assessed by Ki-67. Forty-eight tissue paraffin blocks were diagnosed histopathologically as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma from the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara and the Anatomical Pathology Unit of Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan, as the research sample. The results of protein expression from Ki-67 were assessed based on area. There was no significant correlation between cSCC grading and Ki-67 expression (p > 0.05). Ki-67 antigen tumour marker, widely used to determine the level of tumour cell proliferation.

Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most complicated complications of diabetes patients with Type 2 diabetes.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy based on Clinical Neurological Examination (CNE) and the factors that influence the occurrence of diabetic neuropathy in Type 2 DM patients at Amplas Primary Health Care (PHC) in Medan City.
METHODS: The research design was descriptive-analytic with the cross-sectional approach. The study population was all Type 2 DM patients who came to Amplas PHC with a total sample of 53 people using the consecutive sampling. The research data source is primary data, namely the assessment of diabetic neuropathy using the Clinical Neurological Examination (CNE) criteria. Data were processed using SPSS and analysis using the chi-square test.
RESULTS: The results showed the majority of Type 2 DM patients had mild neuropathy as many as 24 people (45.3%). The Chi-square test results showed there was a relationship between age and duration of diabetes with the incidence of diabetic neuropathy in Type 2 DM patients at Amplas Primary Health Care.
CONCLUSION: Education and early detection with proper management can prevent more severe complications so that the quality of life of patients can be maintained better.
Linking karyotypes with DNA barcodes: proposal for a new standard in chromosomal analysis with an example based on the study of Neotropical Nymphalidae (Lepidoptera)
Authors: Lukhtanov Vladimir A. , Iashenkova Yaroslavna
Published: December 2019

Chromosomal data are important for taxonomists, cytogeneticists and evolutionary biologists; however, the value of these data decreases sharply if they are obtained for individuals with inaccurate species identification or unclear species identity. To avoid this problem, here we suggest linking each karyotyped sample with its DNA barcode, photograph and precise geographic data, providing an opportunity for unambiguous identification of described taxa and for delimitation of undescribed species. Using this approach, we present new data on chromosome number diversity in neotropical butterflies of the subfamily Biblidinae (genusVilaKirby, 1871) and the tribe Ithomiini (generaOleriaHübner, 1816,IthomiaHübner, 1816,GodyrisBoisduval, 1870,HypothyrisHübner, 1821,NapeogenesBates, 1862,PseudoscadaGodman et Salvin, 1879 andHyposcadaGodman et Salvin, 1879). Combining new and previously published data we show that the species complexOleria onega(Hewitson, [1852]) includes three discrete chromosomal clusters (with haploid chromosome numbers n = 15, n = 22 and n = 30) and at least four DNA barcode clusters. Then we discuss how the incomplete connection between these chromosomal and molecular data (karyotypes and DNA barcodes were obtained for different sets of individuals) complicates the taxonomic interpretation of the discovered clusters.

L’histoire politique du Mexique est particulièrement mouvementée. Entre monarchie et république, État unitaire et fédéralisme, le pays a hésité jusqu’au début du xx e  siècle, la violence, les conflits permanents avec les États-Unis, l’emprise de l’Église, les batailles entre caciques et les trafics en tous genres n’ayant pas facilité l’établissement d’un État de droit. D’où une instabilité endémique et une corruption généralisée, tenant le peuple hors du jeu politique et freinant gravement le développement d’un pays au potentiel pourtant immense.
La mutation du présidentialisme mexicain
Authors: Espinoza Toledo Ricardo , Rey Patricia
Published: December 2019

À la suite de la révolution mexicaine, le présidentialisme devait mettre en œuvre les réformes requises pour faire advenir la justice sociale. Mais le pouvoir, reposant sur un parti unique, centralisé et sans véritables contrepoids, s’est écarté de cet objectif et a instauré le libre-échange comme modèle de développement à partir des années 1980, instaurant le libéralisme antidémocratique. En dépit de l’alternance politique qui a fait son apparition à partir de 1997, le système politique porteur d’injustices sociales a perduré jusqu’à l’élection en juillet 2018 d’Andrés Manuel López Obrador, issu de la mobilisation sociale, qui a obtenu la majorité dans les deux chambres du Congrès. Le nouveau président aura pour tâche principale de démocratiser le gouvernement présidentiel.

Rendre compte des engagements environnementaux aux clients : quels effets sur l’évaluation de la performance commerciale ?
Authors: Radhouane Ikram , Nekhili Mehdi , Nagati Haithem , Paché Gilles
Published: December 2019

Le fait de se conformer aux besoins des parties prenantes principales (employés, clients, fournisseurs, etc.) pousse les entreprises à rendre compte de leurs engagements environnementaux, impactant leur futur chiffre d’affaires. Parmi les parties prenantes principales, les clients sont considérés comme les plus critiques du fait qu’ils déterminent directement la performance économique de l’entreprise. Sauf si les bénéfices perçus l’emportent sur les coûts du reporting environnemental, les actionnaires peuvent être incapables d’évaluer les flux de trésorerie de l’entreprise et, à terme, la pertinence du reporting . Le reporting environnemental et les résultats liés au respect des attentes des clients influencent par conséquent la valeur de marché de l’entreprise. Dans cette recherche, les auteurs se focalisent sur la divulgation volontaire d’informations environnementales des grandes entreprises cotées en bourse en France et appartenant à l’indice SBF 120 sur la période 2001-2010. Les résultats indiquent que les actionnaires évaluent la pertinence du reporting environnemental et qu’ils sont plus sensibles à la performance commerciale liée aux coûts (rentabilité des ventes) qu’à la performance commerciale liée au chiffre d’affaires (croissance des ventes).
Le jour où Philippe le Beau sauva la brasserie des dominicains de Douai
Authors: Dujardin Arnaud
Published: December 2019

À la fin du xv e siècle, à Douai, le marché de la bière fournissait à la ville une part importante de ses revenus. Lorsque les dominicains demandèrent le droit de construire une brasserie pour y produire une bière exemptée d’accises, les autorités échevinales mirent tout en œuvre pour contrecarrer leur plan. Le soutien de Maximilien I er à l’égard des religieux ne fut pas suffisant. Leur tentative de brasser illégalement finit par déclencher une procédure judiciaire depuis le Grand Conseil de Malines. Il fallut attendre l’intervention de l’héritier légitime des possessions bourguignonnes, Philippe le Beau, pour débloquer la situation.
« Le plus grand Lille »

Published: December 2019

L’objectif de cet article consiste à mesurer, à partir du concours lillois de reconstruction lancé au lendemain de la première guerre mondiale, la part prise par les approches nouvelles en ce qui concerne le devenir territorial de Lille et de la conurbation qui caractérisent la métropole lilloise depuis le xix e siècle. Dans le contexte de l’entre-deux-guerres, il s’agit de montrer en quoi les idées proposées ont ainsi pu nourrir la réflexion sur la nécessaire transformation des échelles territoriales au regard des nouveaux enjeux qui se posent alors. En cela, la création en 1966 des communautés urbaines qui marquera une étape décisive de l’intercommunalité, doit beaucoup aux réflexions démarrées exactement un demi-siècle plus tôt. Il s’agit en effet de comprendre comment nous sommes passés d’un débat d’idées conduit par la société civile et les élus locaux durant l’Entre-deux-guerres à une intercommunalité de projets portée par l’État durant les Trente glorieuses.

« Te presentant sans nulle difference, par vraye amour, la clef de tout mon cueur ». L’offrande du cœur dans les entrées royales françaises à la Renaissance
Authors: Roy Lyse
Published: December 2019

Parmi les nombreuses manifestations de l’amour politique mis en scène lors des entrées royales aux xv e et xvi e  siècles, figure le motif de l’offrande du cœur qui rend visible l’idée abstraite de la caritas comme sentiment, lien réciproque et don. Motif récurrent jusqu’au règne d’Henri IV, il se déploie au début de l’entrée, moment crucial alors que s’établissent rituellement la relation pacifique et l’engagement réciproque entre la ville et le roi. Il apparaît associé à une conception du pouvoir qui sous-tend la réciprocité de l’autorité, partagée entre les villes, les États et la royauté et il aurait sans doute disparu des spectacles des entrées si ce n’était du contexte des guerres de Religion permettant à certaines communautés d’exprimer à leur souverain leurs attentes et de renouer le dialogue.

Introduction : Le manque d’autonomisation et la pauvreté dans laquelle vivent les femmes et les filles restent des facteurs qui perpétuent les violences au sein de la société. L’objet de cette étude est d’analyser les perceptions des populations sur les violences faites aux femmes et aux filles au Sénégal. Méthode : Une étude analytique qualitative a été menée, du 10 avril au 9 mai 2017, sur l’ensemble des 11 régions du Sénégal disposant d’un tribunal de grande instance (TGI). Les participants étaient représentés par les victimes au nombre de 86, 11 procureurs des TGI, 23 chefs de services des urgences et 23 chefs de services gynécologiques. Des entretiens individuels ont été effectués. L’analyse du contenu étayée par une analyse thématique a été menée avec le logiciel Iramuteq . Résultats : Par rapport aux agressions sexuelles, le sentiment qui domine chez les victimes est celui de la perte d’une chose précieuse qui est l’hymen. Selon les prestataires, les victimes éprouvent des difficultés à honorer la facture concernant l’établissement du certificat médical. Selon les procureurs, la gestion des preuves est une grande entrave pour la prise en charge judiciaire des victimes. Conclusion : La domination de l’agresseur pousse ce dernier à utiliser des menaces pour contraindre la victime à la non-dénonciation. En effet, en matière de coercition sexuelle, la pression physique ou verbale pour avoir des relations sexuelles figurent parmi les gestes les plus fréquemment notés à cet égard. Il importe aux autorités sanitaires et judiciaires de mettre en œuvre un plan de lutte contre les violences, axé essentiellement sur la communication, en vue d’amener les populations à connaître les droits et la place qu’occupent les femmes au sein de la communauté.
Experiences of Bisexual Identity, Attraction, and Behavior and Their Relationship With Mental Health Findings From the Who I Am Study
Authors: Taylor Julia , Power Jennifer , Smith Elizabeth
Published: December 2019

Approximately one in 10 Australian individuals report bisexual attraction, and this group has repeatedly been found to experience high rates of poor mental health. Despite this finding, our understanding of who is most at risk within this group remains limited. The current article presents findings of an online survey conducted in Australia with one of the largest samples of bisexual adults to date (N= 2,651). Chi-square and regression analyses identified significant associations between the three dimensions of bisexuality (i.e., identity, behavior, and attraction) and mental health. Participants who reported identifying as bisexual were found to be especially vulnerable to poor mental health compared to those who reported bisexual attraction and/or sexual experiences without a bisexual identity. These findings provide a significant contribution to the lacking literature on the complexities of bisexual orientation and mental health.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of corneal suturing on the clinical course of iatrogenic keratectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), in order to improve quality of vision and to avoid progressive deterioration of visual acuity.

METHODS: Three patients (four eyes) who had a perforation during LASIK or became keratectatic after LASIK received corneal suturing with 10-0 nylon immediately or up to 11 days after LASIK. Sutures were left in place for 1 to 4 months. Patients were followed for 20 to 23 months after suturing.

RESULTS: All eyes had a significant improvement in uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity after suturing. The improvements in visual acuity for all patients remained unchanged after suture removal. In patient 1, keratectatic changes were not detected in the sutured eye although they were detected in the contralateral unsutured eye. In patient 2, both eyes were sutured, one immediately and the other 11 days after LASIK; no keratectatic changes were noted in either eye. Slight progression of corneal protrusion was observed in patient 3, who had corneal suturing after development of prominent keratectasia 2 weeks after LASIK. This eye showed stable but moderate keratectatic change 9 months after suture removal.

CONCLUSIONS: Flap suturing in patients during the course of keratectasia after LASIK improved both aided and unaided visual acuity. Prompt suturing seemed to provide a means of preventive management for iatrogenic keratectasia in anticipation of keratoplasty. [J Refract Surg 2004;20:40-45]

Authors: Jankov Mirko , Mrochen Michael , Seiler Theo
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of correcting high hyperopia by means of intrastromal implantation of a laser shaped corneal lenticule prepared from a human donor eye.

METHODS: A female patient with high hyperopia and irregular astigmatism resulting from multiple laser in situ keratomileusis procedures and lamellar keratoplasty underwent laser intrastromal keratoplasty. Her preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/300 and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/100 with a refraction of +8.00 -1.00 x 130°. Corneal topography showed a highly irregular corneal surface. Central corneal thickness was 398 µm. Lenticule preparation included mechanical de-epithelialization of a human donor eye, keratectomy with a microkeratome, user-designed software combining a photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) treatment for +8.00 D sphere, an ablation zone of 7.0 mm, and a circumferential cut (internal diameter of 6.5 mm) for tissue ablation. Implantation involved re-lifting the flap, positioning the lenticule onto the corneal bed, and repositioning of the flap.

RESULTS: The operation was uneventful as was the early postoperative follow-up. BSCVA improved to 20/50 with +1.00 -2.25 x 120° at 2 months postoperatively. Corneal topography showed a more regular cornea with increased curvature in all meridians. Central corneal thickness increased to 600 µm.

CONCLUSION: Laser intrastroma keratoplasty may be an option for correcting high hyperopa and irregular astigmatism in eyes with a thin corneal bed. [J Refract Surg 2004;20:79-84]

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To assess the value of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) by patient-reported outcomes using quality of life assessment.

METHOD: This study included 288 consecutive patients treated by LASIK between July and December 2001 at two eye clinics. A Myopia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire was developed in this study. The baseline quality of life corresponding to the situation where refractive error was corrected by glasses or contact lenses before LASIK treatment was evaluated by self-administered questionnaire. The evaluation was repeated at 4 days, and 1, 3, and 6 months after LASIK treatment. All question items were rated on a scale ranging from 1 (maximal dysfunction) to 5 (minimal dysfunction).

RESULTS: Factor analysis identified 34 questions in 4 subscales-visual function, visual symptoms, social role function, and psychological well-being. The Myopia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire subscales proved to be internally consistent (Cronbach alpha = 0.70-0.95). Criterion validity was assessed by evaluating Spearman correlation between the overall or domain-specific quality of life and traditional measures of patient status. Overall Myopia -specific Quality of Life Questionnaire score changed from 3.21 preoperatively to 3.76, 4.00, 4.07, and 4.11 at 4 days, and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, respectively. Social role function showed the biggest improvement (score change: 1.51, P<.05), followed by psychological well-being (0.90, P<.05), visual function (0.72, P<.05), and visual symptoms (0.49, P<.05). Regression analysis results showed that the degree of uncorrected visual acuity, discomfort associated with myopia preoperatively, and location of eye center were significant factors affecting the magnitude of changes in quality of life after LASIK.

CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that the value of LASIK went beyond the clinical achievement of refractive correction and extended to the improvement of quality of life. [J Refract Surg, 2005;21:59-71.]

Published: December 2019

Iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome is an increasingly recognized issue among adult patients in the intensive care unit. The prolonged use of opioids and benzodiazepines during the intensive care unit stay and preexisting disorders associated with their use put patients at risk of developing iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome. Although research to date is scant regarding iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in adult patients in the intensive care unit, it is important to recognize and adequately manage iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in order to prevent possible negative outcomes during and after a patient’s intensive care unit stay. This article discusses in depth 8 studies of iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome among adult patients in the intensive care unit. It also addresses important aspects of opioid and benzodiazepine iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome, including prevalence, risk factors, and assessment and considers its prevention and management.

We have newly developed non photosensitive and photosensitive polyimide having excellent electrical/mechanical properties. At first we have re-designed the polymer backbone in order to obtain low Dk and Df performance. As a result, our new non photosensitive PI achieved 2.9 of Dk at 20 GHz and 0.003 of Df at 20 GHz. In the next step, we selected the photo package of new PI carefully to maintain both low Dk/Df and high resolution. After that, we modified the photo initiator content, crosslinker content, and so on to have both high lithographic performance and high electrical performance. As a result, new photosentive PI cured at 320 °C showed 3.0 of Dk at 20 GHz and 0.006 of Df at 20 GHz. In addition, this material cured at 200 °C also showed 3.0 of Dk at 20 GHz and 0.009 of Df at 20 GHz. We also confirmed high mechanical properties of new PI. Elongation of this PI cured at >250 °C was approximately 70 %. From lithographic aspects, new PI achieved 15 μm L/S opening with 10 μm thickness.
