Authors:   Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Shri Shankarlal Sundarbai Shasun Jain College for Women Chennai, Tamilnadu, India., Gomathi B
Published: December 2021

Every City in India as well as other countries are moving towards the concept of Smart Cities. Increase in population is directly proportional to the increase in traffic and almost all cities are densely populated. This paper provides a novel approach of identifying the vehicles and appropriately redirecting them to parking slots This Proactive Car Parking System framework encompasses IOT module that is applied to screen and signalize the condition of accessibility of single parking spot. In addition to this it signals in case of empty slot and hence the driver of the vehicle need not waste time in searching the slot. The status on availability of parking is informed in advance and this in turn helps to avoid traffic. The IR sensor with Arduino is used for identifying slots. The proposed system is an embedded system where internet, Sensors, detection of objects and algorithms are used.
Energy harvesting through a piezoelectric sensor
Authors: Kim Moojin
Published: December 2021

Energy harvesting through motion caused by wind is a unique way of finding an alternative energy source for several electronic devices. Piezo-electronic sensors, which harvest energy from small vibrations and movements, are investigated by many researchers nowadays. This paper conducted an experimental study to find an alternative energy source for diverse electronics with forced oscillations from a fan. The relations between the force applied by wind and the oscillation of a paper strip were studied.

Authors: SELCEN Münevver , PALA Emin , ERSOY Suleyman
Published: December 2021

Aim: In this study, we aimed to reveal the menopausal status of women between the ages of 40-55 and to investigate the effects of their attitudes towards menopause on possible menopausal symptoms. Material and Methods: 230 participants aged between 40-55 who applied to Ümraniye EAH Education Family Health Center were included in the study. All participants were asked to answer 47 questions including socio-demographic data, the menopausal attitude assesment scale (MAAS), and the menopause rating scale (MRS). Results: The mean age of 230 women who participated in our study was 47.47±4.37 years, the mean MRS score was 12.78±8.96, and the mean MAAS score was 30.91±5.13. Their attitudes towards menopause and menapusal symptoms were above average and positive. It was found that MRS scores of non-menstrual women were higher than women who have irregular and regular periods (p<0.001). It was found that women who quit smoking got higher MRS scores than those who smoke and never smoked (p = 0.006. Women with primary education education level got lower MAAS scores than women with higher education level (p=0.026). In our study, it was found that non-menstruating women, those who talked to their partner about their menopause, those who quit smoking and those who quit alcohol consumption had milder menopausal symptoms. Conclusion: Postmenopausal symptoms may vary according to personal, cultural and socio-economic variables. Women should be encouraged to increase their level of knowledge and avoid consuming alcohol and smoking in order to reduce possible symptoms related to menopause and improve their quality of life. Family physicians can play a primary role in this regard.
The Role of Family in the Construction of Traditions among Second-Generation Chinese Immigrants in Hungary
Authors: Knyihár Eszter , Salát Gergely
Published: December 2021

Previous research conducted in Hungary has shown that second generation Chinese immigrants construct a complex, multicultural identity which contains elements from the cultural environment created by the host society, the migrant diaspora, the family of the migrant and the country of origin as well. This paper presents the findings of an interview-based research project conducted in Hungary with the involvement of 20 second-generation Chinese immigrants and seeks to examine the complexity of their cultural identity, focussing especially the role of the family in the construction of traditions. According to our findings we argue that in the family setting, there is constant negotiation between generations regarding norms and traditions, which reveal different priorities. In this article I show that those areas where the most negotiations occur also overlap with the fields of increased parental interest and control, namely: education, dating/marriage, and language. I also discuss how holidays celebrated by the family show a high degree of flexibility and mixed solutions, involving cultural elements from both the host society and the country of origin.
PREDICTING THE SCHEDULE AND COST PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECTS IN TAIWAN
Authors: Juan Yi-Kai , Liou Ling-Er
Published: December 2021

The Ministry of Education (MOE) of Taiwan invests about NTD 30 billion a year in Public School Building Projects (PSBPs). However, 95% of the PSBPs have been extended and have incurred increased costs. A PSBP performance evaluation and prediction system was established by using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), association rules and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Sixty-two Taiwanese PSBPs were used as the samples, while eleven high correlation factors that influence the project performance of PSBPs were defined, and the reasons leading to the poor project performance were discussed in this study. Moreover, the results of the test cases operated by ANN showed that the accuracy rate for schedule and cost variability predictions can reach 84%. The high accuracy rate indicated the reliability of priority control for high-risk projects in the future. The proposed approach can be provided to clients, design and construction firms, and project managers to understand the project performance in real time and to establish a dynamic tracking review and response measures for improving the overall project satisfaction.
A Census of the Stellar Populations in the Sco-Cen Complex*
Authors: Luhman K. L.
Published: December 2021

I have used high-precision photometry and astrometry from the early installment of the third data release of Gaia (EDR3) to perform a survey for members of the stellar populations within the Sco-Cen complex, which consist of Upper Sco, UCL/LCC, the V1062 Sco group, Ophiuchus, and Lupus. Among Gaia sources with σ

π
< 1 mas, I have identified 10,509 candidate members of those populations. I have compiled previous measurements of spectral types, Li equivalent widths, and radial velocities for the candidates, which are available for 3169, 1420, and 1740 objects, respectively. In a subset of candidates selected to minimize field star contamination, I estimate that the contamination is ≲1% and the completeness is ∼90% at spectral types of ≲M6–M7 for the populations with low extinction (Upper Sco, V1062 Sco, UCL/LCC). I have used that cleaner sample to characterize the stellar populations in Sco-Cen in terms of their initial mass functions, ages, and space velocities. For instance, all of the populations in Sco-Cen have histograms of spectral types that peak near M4–M5, which indicates that they share similar characteristic masses for their initial mass functions (∼0.15–0.2 M
⊙). After accounting for incompleteness, I estimate that the Sco-Cen complex contains nearly 10,000 members with masses above ∼0.01 M
⊙. Finally, I also present new estimates for the intrinsic colors of young stars and brown dwarfs (≲20 Myr) in bands from Gaia EDR3, the Two Micron All Sky Survey, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Supercritical Accretion of Stellar-mass Compact Objects in Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Pan Zhen , Yang Huan
Published: December 2021

Accretion disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been proposed as promising sites for producing both (stellar-mass) compact object mergers and extreme mass ratio inspirals. Along with disk-assisted migration, ambient gas inevitably accretes onto compact objects. In previous studies, it was commonly assumed that either an Eddington rate or a Bondi rate takes place, although they can differ by several orders of magnitude. As a result, the mass and spin evolution of compact objects within AGN disks are essentially unknown. In this work, we construct a relativistic supercritical inflow–outflow model for black hole (BH) accretion. We show that the radiation efficiency of the supercritical accretion of a stellar-mass BH (sBH) is generally too low to explain the proposed electromagnetic counterpart of GW 190521. Applying this model to sBHs embedded in AGN disks, we find that, although the gas inflow rates at Bondi radii of these sBHs are commonly highly super-Eddington, a large fraction of inflowing gas eventually escapes as outflows so that only a small fraction accretes onto the sBH, resulting in mildly super-Eddington BH absorption in most cases. We also apply this model to neutron stars (NSs) and white dwarfs (WDs) in AGN disks. It turns out to be difficult for WDs to grow to the Chandrasekhar limit via accretion because WDs are spun up more efficiently to reach the shedding limit before the Chandrasekhar limit. For NSs accretion-induced collapse is possible if NS magnetic fields are sufficiently strong to keep the NS slowly rotating during accretion.

The SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey has obtained high-resolution spectra for thousands of red giant stars distributed among the massive satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW): the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC), the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy (Sgr), Fornax (Fnx), and the now fully disrupted Gaia Sausage/Enceladus (GSE) system. We present and analyze the APOGEE chemical abundance patterns of each galaxy to draw robust conclusions about their star formation histories, by quantifying the relative abundance trends of multiple elements (C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Fe, Ni, and Ce), as well as by fitting chemical evolution models to the [α/Fe]–[Fe/H] abundance plane for each galaxy. Results show that the chemical signatures of the starburst in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) observed by Nidever et al. in the α-element abundances extend to C+N, Al, and Ni, with the major burst in the SMC occurring some 3–4 Gyr before the burst in the LMC. We find that Sgr and Fnx also exhibit chemical abundance patterns suggestive of secondary star formation epochs, but these events were weaker and earlier (∼5–7 Gyr ago) than those observed in the MCs. There is no chemical evidence of a second starburst in GSE, but this galaxy shows the strongest initial star formation as compared to the other four galaxies. All dwarf galaxies had greater relative contributions of AGB stars to their enrichment than the MW. Comparing and contrasting these chemical patterns highlight the importance of galaxy environment on its chemical evolution.

In the first two papers of this series, we demonstrated the dynamism of machine learning applied to optical spectral analysis by using neural networks to extract kinematic parameters and emission-line ratios directly from the spectra observed by the SITELLE instrument located at the Canada–France–Hawai’i Telescope. In this third installment, we develop a framework using a convolutional neural network trained on synthetic spectra to determine the number of line-of-sight components present in the SN3 filter (656–683 nm) spectral range of SITELLE. We compare this methodology to standard practice using Bayesian inference. Our results demonstrate that a neural network approach returns more accurate results and uses fewer computational resources over a range of spectral resolutions. Furthermore, we apply the network to SITELLE observations of the merging galaxy system NGC 2207/IC 2163. We find that the closest interacting sector and the central regions of the galaxies are best characterized by two line-of-sight components while the outskirts and spiral arms are well-constrained by a single component. Determining the number of resolvable components is crucial in disentangling different galactic components in merging systems and properly extracting their respective kinematics.

) fluctuations occur over a range of timescales and in patches separated by intervals of quiet, radial magnetic field. We use measurements from PSP to demonstrate that patches of switchbacks are localized within the extensions of plasma structures originating at the base of the corona. These structures are characterized by an increase in alpha particle abundance, Mach number, plasma β and pressure, and by depletions in the magnetic field magnitude and electron temperature. These intervals are in pressure balance, implying stationary spatial structure, and the field depressions are consistent with overexpanded flux tubes. The structures are asymmetric in Carrington longitude with a steeper leading edge and a small (∼1°) edge of hotter plasma and enhanced magnetic field fluctuations. Some structures contain suprathermal ions to ∼85 keV that we argue are the energetic tail of the solar wind alpha population. The structures are separated in longitude by angular scales associated with supergranulation. This suggests that these switchbacks originate near the leading edge of the diverging magnetic field funnels associated with the network magnetic field—the primary wind sources. We propose an origin of the magnetic field switchbacks, hot plasma and suprathermals, alpha particles in interchange reconnection events just above the solar transition region and our measurements represent the extended regions of a turbulent outflow exhaust.

Published: December 2021

An optical monitoring survey in the nearby dwarf galaxies was carried out with the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope. 55 dwarf galaxies and four isolated globular clusters in the Local Group were observed with the Wide Field Camera. The main aims of this survey are to identify the most evolved asymptotic giant branch stars and red supergiants at the endpoint of their evolution based on their pulsational instability, use their distribution over luminosity to reconstruct the star-formation history (SFH), quantify the dust production and mass loss from modeling the multiwavelength spectral energy distributions, and relate this to luminosity and radius variations. In this second of a series of papers, we present the methodology used to estimate SFH based on long-period variable (LPV) stars and then derive it for Andromeda I (And I) dwarf galaxy as an example of the survey. Using our identified 59 LPV candidates within two half-light radii of And I and Padova stellar evolution models, we estimated the SFH of this galaxy. A major epoch of star formation occurred in And I peaking around 6.6 Gyr ago, reaching 0.0035 ± 0.0016 M
⊙ yr−1 and only slowly declining until 1–2 Gyr ago. The presence of some dusty LPVs in this galaxy corresponds to a slight increase in recent star formation peaking around 800 Myr ago. We evaluate a quenching time around 4 Gyr ago (z < 0.5), which makes And I a late-quenching dSph. A total stellar mass (16 ± 7) × 106
M
⊙ is calculated within two half-light radii of And I for a constant metallicity Z = 0.0007.
A Preliminary Calibration of the JAGB Method Using Gaia EDR3
Authors: Lee Abigail J. , Freedman Wendy L. , Madore Barry F. , Owens Kayla A. , Sung Jang In
Published: December 2021

The recently developed J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method has extraordinary potential as an extragalactic standard candle, capable of calibrating the absolute magnitudes of locally accessible Type Ia supernovae, thereby leading to an independent determination of the Hubble constant. Using Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) parallaxes, we calibrate the zero-point of the JAGB method, based on the mean luminosity of a color-selected subset of carbon-rich AGB stars. We identify Galactic carbon stars from the literature and use their near-infrared photometry and Gaia EDR3 parallaxes to measure their absolute J-band magnitudes. Based on these Milky Way parallaxes we determine the zero-point of the JAGB method to be M

J
= −6.14 ± 0.05 (stat) ± 0.11 (sys) mag. This Galactic calibration serves as a consistency check on the JAGB zero-point, agreeing well with previously published, independent JAGB calibrations based on geometric, detached eclipsing binary distances to the LMC and SMC. However, the JAGB stars used in this study suffer from the high parallax uncertainties that afflict the bright and red stars in EDR3, so we are not able to attain the higher precision of previous calibrations, and ultimately will rely on future improved DR4 and DR5 releases.

We identify a sample of spectroscopically measured emission line galaxy (ELG) Pairs up to z = 1.6 from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels (WISP) survey. WISP obtained slitless, near-infrared grism spectroscopy along with direct imaging in the J and H bands by observing in the pure-parallel mode with the WFC3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. From our search of 419 WISP fields covering an area of ∼0.5 deg2, we find 413 ELG pair systems, mostly H
α
emitters. We then derive reliable star formation rates (SFRs) based on the attenuation-corrected H
α
fluxes. Compared to isolated galaxies, we find an average SFR enhancement of 40%–65%, which is stronger for major Pairs and Pairs with smaller velocity separations (Δ
v
< 300 km s−1). Based on the stacked spectra from various subsamples, we study the trends of emission line ratios in pairs, and find a general consistency with enhanced lower ionization lines. We study the pair fraction among ELGs, and find a marginally significant increase with redshift f ∝ (1 + z)
α
, where the power-law index α = 0.58 ± 0.17 from z ∼ 0.2 to ∼1.6. The fraction of active galactic nuclei is found to be the same in the ELG Pairs as compared to the isolated ELGs.

Published: December 2021

This paper represents the first syntaxonomic study on the Pinus nigra subsp. nigra artificial stands in the Apennines. It refers exclusively to the mature Pinus nigra forest plantations in the central Apennines that were planted before the 1950s, and then not managed. The mature Pinus nigra forest plantations in the central Apennines are distributed within four National Parks, on limestone substrata, mainly with southern aspects and rugged slopes, and at elevations ranging from 655 m to 1670 m a.s.l.. Two new phytosociological associations are described here and classified in the alliance Junipero communis–Pinion nigrae: Orthilio secundae–Pinetum nigrae and Digitalidi micranthae–Pinetum nigrae. The association Orthilio secundae–Pinetum nigrae comprises the relative mesophilous mature pine forests of the supratemperate thermotype in the plant landscape context of the alliance Aremonio agrimonioidis–Fagion sylvaticae potential vegetation belt. The Digitalidi micranthae–Pinetum nigrae comprises the thermophilous pine forests occurring on rocky stands within mesotemperate and lower supratemperate thermotypes in the potential belt of alliance Carpinion orientalis woods. The comparison of these two new associations and the phytosociological literature concerning the natural communities of Pinus nigra in the Apennines highlights their floristic and coenological autonomy.
L’épistémologie féministe à l’épreuve d’un objet surinvesti. Enquêter auprès des femmes ex-combattantes dans le « post-accord de paix » colombien

Published: December 2021

Cet article a pour objectif d’interroger les usages des épistémologies et méthodologies féministes dans le cadre d’une enquête de terrain portant sur le retour à la vie civile de femmes combattantes en Colombie. Alors que la thématique « femmes combattantes » tend à faire l’objet d’un surinvestissement académique participant de sa dépolitisation, nous discutons des diverses approches, outils et méthodes produits par l’épistémologie féministe pouvant être mobilisés afin d’éviter la reproduction des rapports de pouvoirs susceptibles de s’établir entre enquêteurs et enquêtrices et enquêté·e·s, mais aussi à la mise en concurrence des enquêteurs et des enquêtrices eux/elles-mêmes. L’article commence par analyser les différents facteurs ayant contribué à faire des « femmes combattantes » un objet surétudié. Dans un second temps il décrit les terrains de recherche ayant inspiré notre propos et discute plus particulièrement des défis soulevés par une mise en application concrète de l’épistémologie féministe dans l’enquête de terrain. Dans une troisième partie sont finalement formulées des propositions afin de développer l’épistémologie féministe au-delà des seules questions de genre en repensant la façon d’organiser les différentes spatio-temporalités de la recherche et le lien concret avec les territoires d’enquête.
L’entreprise mondiale explorée par ses accords
Authors: Mias Arnaud
Published: December 2021

Partant du constat d’une transformation profonde des logiques de la négociation transnationale dans certaines entreprises multinationales basées en Europe, cet article analyse la façon dont les accords qui en sont issus sont de nature à renforcer l’épaisseur sociale de l’entreprise mondiale. Adossés à des politiques d’entreprises, ces accords représentent des instruments de régulation sociale des filiales du groupe. Leur négociation est aussi, et peut-être avant tout, un travail conjoint de connaissance et d’exploration de l’entité sociale que forment les différentes filiales de l’entreprise mondiale. Elle en dessine ainsi la cartographie sociale. L’article analyse la portée et les limites de cette forme émergente de négociation transnationale d’entreprise.

L’impasse qui s’est produite pendant une analyse, lorsque le discours d’une patiente a commencé à se concentrer sur les expressions liées au désir d’un enfant, a induit dans l’après-coup une réflexion sur les liens entre la déclaration même de ce « désir », la demande d’analyse, l’écoute de cette demande et les questions les plus fondamentales de la patiente. En suivant une ligne de pensée qui s’appuie surtout sur les travaux d’Aulagnier, la fonction symptomatique de ce qui peut prendre la forme du « désir d’un enfant », après avoir été mis en rapport avec certaines caractéristiques « techniques » de l’époque contemporaine, a été analysée en mettant l’accent sur ses déterminations œdipiennes mais aussi (peut-être surtout) préœdipiennes.

Published: December 2021

L’histoire d’une jeune femme, hospitalisée pour état dépressif sévère et troubles des conduites alimentaires, montre l’importance de la prise en compte du vécu de honte qui lui est contingente. À l’appui de cette situation clinique, les auteurs mettent ici en relief deux modélisations conceptuelles de cet affect, qui sont, d’une part, une honte aliénante grevant durablement le sujet qui s’y trouve assujetti ; d’autre part, une honte salvatrice qui signe le début d’une élaboration psychique et d’une appropriation subjective. L’hypothèse d’une clinique de la honte, ici articulée à la psychopathologie de la boulimie, s’inscrit dans sa forme la plus coutumière, comme l’expression syntaxique qui prévaut dans l’univers honteux : mise à nu, dévoilement et déchéance. En écho, nous pouvons souligner l’analogie de l’expérience psychothérapique avec une entreprise de « dévoilement » et de « mise à nu » qui prend un relief de réalité et qui fait de l’actualisation transférentielle de la honte le risque d’une répétition : le dévoilement de « la souillure » et la déchéance qui en découle sous le regard qui fait honte du clinicien. C’est à partir du modèle freudien de la honte structurale post œdipienne, articulée au versant imaginaire et arrimée à la culpabilité, que sera menée cette réflexion qui insiste, à travers une évocation clinique, sur cette cooccurrence entre troubles des conduites alimentaires, fragilité narcissique et sentiment de honte.

Authors: Bello Nicholas R. , Nelson Leonard B. , Gunton Kammi B.
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To report the use of protective personal equipment (PPE) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methods:

A 12-question multiple-choice survey was posted on a discussion board used by members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). Respondents provided information about their experience, PPE use, office equipment, and approach to care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results:

One hundred twenty-eight pediatric ophthalmologists completed the survey. Eighty-seven (68.0%) identified as in private practice, whereas 41 (32.0%) identified as in an academic setting. Sixty-nine pediatric ophthalmologists (53.9%) reported routinely using N95 respirators, 72 (56.3%) reported wearing medical scrubs, 41 (32.0%) reported using disposable gloves, 33 (25.7%) reported wearing goggles, and 12 (9.4%) reported using face shields during office examinations. One hundred twenty-one pediatric ophthalmologists (94.5%) reported having slit lamps with plastic shields and 52 (40.6%) reported having phoropters with plastic shields. Ninety-nine (77.3%) responded that they would see a patient older than 2 years who refused to wear a mask for a nonemergency visit.

Conclusions:

Practice patterns of pediatric ophthalmologists have varied during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Management of Congenital Microphthalmia With Orbital Cyst: A Case Series
Authors: Gutkovich Elena , Zahavi Alon , Man Peles Inbal , Tomkins-Netzer Oren , Borisovsky Nina , Bejar Jacob , Goldenberg-Cohen Nitza , Vardizer Yoav
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To describe a series of patients treated for congenital microphthalmia associated with orbital cyst and recommend a management protocol.

Methods:

This retrospective case series comprised 6 patients (7 eyes) who attended an oculoplastic tertiary medical center from 2001 to 2018. Clinical, treatment, and outcome data were collected from the electronic files. Main outcome measures were preservation of vision and cosmetic appearance.

Results:

Four patients were diagnosed at birth. Six cysts were located inferiorly and one superiorly. Two patients had a visual potential of light perception or better in the affected eye. In 4 eyes, the cyst was initially retained and the eye was fitted with a custom-made conformer. In 1 eye, the fornices were too shallow for a conformer, warranting fornix reconstruction and cyst excision. Early surgery was required in 1 eye for an expanded cyst and large orbit volume, and in another eye the cyst had overgrown the orbit, causing bone erosion and remodeling. Cosmetic results were good in 3 of the eyes in which the cyst was retained in early childhood, stimulating orbital growth.

Conclusions:

Congenital microphthalmia with orbital cyst is rare. Management should focus on preserving visual potential, especially in unilateral cyst cases when the other eye is also microphthalmic. Otherwise cosmetic symmetry is the main concern; cyst retention combined with ocular conformers may stimulate socket expansion. The authors found that, in most cases, if treated early, enucleation was avoidable during cyst excision. Early assessment, meticulous follow-up, and individually tailored treatment are warranted.

Success Rate of Augmented Trabeculectomy in Primary Congenital Glaucoma
Authors: Jabeen Sidra , Noorani Sorath , Memon Mariya Nazish , Zaheer Naima
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To evaluate the outcome of trabeculectomy augmented with mitomycin C in primary congenital glaucoma and to document the complications of the procedure in young children.

Methods:

This was a prospective study of children younger than 2 years with primary congenital glaucoma who were treated with primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. After surgery, patients were observed for a minimum of 1 year. Trabeculectomy success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 21 mm Hg or less without (absolute success) or with (qualified success) topical antiglaucoma medications. Surgical success was assessed at 1, 6, and 12 months after the procedure.

Results:

Seventy-four eyes of 42 children were included in the current study. The mean age was 11.7 ± 8.5 months. Of the 42 children, 57.2% were male and 42.8% were female. The mean IOP after surgery was significantly lower than the preoperative IOP (
P
< .0001). Absolute success was observed in 98.6%, 50%, and 27% of eyes at 1, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Qualified success was achieved in 1.4%, 36.5%, and 48.6% of eyes at 1, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Overall success of the procedure was 100% at 1 month but reduced to 86.5% at 6 months and 75.7% at 12 months. In 24.3% of eyes, IOP was not controlled even with adjunctive topical glaucoma medications and was considered a failure. Postoperative complications were shallow anterior chamber (10.8%), collapsed anterior chamber (1.3%), and choroidal detachment (12.0%). Complications were managed conservatively, and 6 eyes needed surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

Augmented trabeculectomy is a useful primary procedure in children with primary congenital glaucoma. Topical glaucoma medications supplement the success of the procedure.

In this article, we describe two classes of few-weight ternary codes, compute their minimum weight and weight distribution from mathematical objects called simplicial complexes. One class of codes described here has the same parameters with the binary first-order Reed-Muller codes. A class of (optimal) minimal linear codes is also obtained in this correspondence.
Imaginary Controversists: Abraham Gómez Silveyra and the Theologians of the Huguenot Exile
Authors: Wilke Carsten L.
Published: December 2021

In the Huguenot refugee community in The Netherlands, known as a hotbed of the early Enlightenment, literary interest in Judaism was ubiquitous, yet actual Dutch Jews were relegated to a marginal position in the exchange of ideas. It is this paradoxical experience of cultural participation and social exclusion that a major unpublished source allows to depict. The ex-converso Abraham Gómez Silveyra (1651–1741), a merchant endowed with rabbinic education and proficiency in French, composed eight manuscript volumes of theological reflections in Spanish literary prose and poetry. This huge clandestine series, which survives in three copies, shows the author’s insatiable curiosity for Christian thought. While rebutting Isaac Jacquelot’s missionary activity, he fraternizes with Pierre Jurieu’s millenarianism, Jacques Basnage’s historiography, and Pierre Bayle’s plea for religious freedom. Gómez Silveyra, however, being painfully aware of his voicelessness in the public sphere, enacts Bayle’s utopian project as a closed performance for a Jewish audience.
Entrepreneurial Passion in Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Neergård Gunn-Berit , Aaboen Lise , Widding Øystein
Published: December 2021

By interviewing alumni about their experiences of entrepreneurship education and post-graduation careers, this study explored how students can harness entrepreneurial passion in a venture creation programme. The findings emphasise the importance of learning ‘soft skills' in entrepreneurship education, as well as experiencing the ‘necessary evil' of failure and learning from failure in a safe environment. Most importantly, the chapter illustrates the connection between safety, action, emotion, and passion in a VCP. Lastly, this study highlights that harnessing obsessive passion into a sustainable form is an important yet difficult task. Passion changes over time, and VCP students harness this passion to achieve ‘sustainable obsessive and harmonious passion'. This study contributes to the literature on the development of entrepreneurial universities by focusing on the students and their entrepreneurial passion.

Published: December 2021

This chapter presents the multi-dimensional approach to the teaching of entrepreneurship at Birkbeck, University of London in the UK. It is approached by presenting the curricular and extra-curricular programmes as a series of juxtaposed paradigms. The term “paradigm” is here used as conceptualising ways of thinking about the entrepreneurial learning experience, from the perspective of the content of the programmes and how the students learn. Birkbeck students' learning experience includes academic modules as well as hybrid modules which combine theory and hands-on practice.

Published: December 2021

This study provides an overview of the important initiatives higher education institutions (HEIs) are implementing to develop their entrepreneurial and innovative potential. The authors performed a systematic analysis of the 62 case studies reported on the HEInnovate website. The initiatives described within these case studies are classified under the eight dimensions of the HEInnovate framework and further grouped under new sub-dimensions which emerged inductively during content analysis. For each sub-dimension, the study analyses the similarities and specificities of the initiatives taken by universities and identifies key learnings and future challenges. The most frequently highlighted dimensions include entrepreneurial teaching and learning, knowledge exchange and collaboration, leadership and governance, and organisational capacity. Findings reveal the key role of strategy and organisational resources and capacities in developing the entrepreneurial agenda and the strong alignment of the entrepreneurial university to its three missions.

Absorptive Capacity and Smart Library
Authors: Adetayo Adebowale Jeremy
Published: December 2021

The current competitive environment is significantly modifying the libraries' learning processes due to an information explosion, allowing this to be transformed into knowledge. This opportunity has been exploited in the past by the tools of “business intelligence,” but integrating it into libraries is still a daunting task. Absorptive capacity was applied to smart libraries from Schöpel's multidimensional model's perspective. Literature was thoroughly reviewed from credible sources such as ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. The contribution to the literature is smart library development through absorptive capacity. This approach aims to create a library intelligence model that aims to explain the absorptive capacity process that leads to smart services, people, place, and governance. This chapter presents a unique integration of various concepts: the concept of absorptive capacity and smart library. This allows the development of better library practices by obtaining benefits from these investments and facilitating intelligence creation inside libraries.
