Clinical trials for primary prevention and early intervention in preclinical AD require measures of functional capacity with improved sensitivity to deficits in healthier, non-demented individuals. To this end, the Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT) was developed as a direct performance-based assessment of functional capacity that is sensitive to changes in function across multiple populations. Using a realistic virtual reality environment, the VRFCAT assesses a subject’s ability to complete instrumental activities associated with a shopping trip. The present investigation represents an initial evaluation of the VRFCAT as a potential co-primary measure of functional capacity in healthy aging and preclinical MCI/AD by examining test-retest reliability and associations with cognitive performance in healthy young and older adults. The VRFCAT was compared and contrasted with the UPSA-2-VIM, a traditional performance-based assessment utilizing physical props. Results demonstrated strong age-related differences in performance on each VRFCAT outcome measure, including total completion time, total errors, and total forced progressions. VRFCAT performance showed strong correlations with cognitive performance across both age groups. VRFCAT Total Time demonstrated good test-retest reliability (ICC=.80 in young adults; ICC=.64 in older adults) and insignificant practice effects, indicating the measure is suitable for repeated testing in healthy populations. Taken together, these results provide preliminary support for the VRFCAT as a potential measure of functionally relevant change in primary prevention and preclinical AD/MCI trials.
Spectral-Nodal Deterministic Methodology for Neutron Shielding Calculations using the X, Y - geometry Multigroup Transport Equation in the Discrete Ordinates Formulation
Authors: Oliva Amaury Munoz , Alves Filho Hermes
Published: November 2021

In this work, we present the most recent numerical results in a nodal approach, which resulted in the development of a new numerical spectral nodal method, based on the spectral analysis of the multigroup, isotropic scattering neutron transport equations in the discrete ordinates ($S_N$) formulation for fixed-source calculations in non-multiplying media (shielding problems). The numerical results refer to simulations of typical problems from the reactor physics field, in rectangular two-dimensional Cartesian geometry, $X, Y$ geometry, and are compared with the traditional Diamond Difference ($DD$) fine-mesh method results, used as a reference, and the spectral coarse-mesh method Green's function ($SGF$) results.
Six years of School of Media: Exploring specialist pathways for film education throughout students’ experiences of Scottish secondary school
Authors: Abercrombie Kerry , Chambers Jamie
Published: November 2021

Co-authored by Scottish secondary school teacher Kerry Abercrombie and film education practitioner Jamie Chambers, this article explores School of Media, a specialist pathway within a Scottish secondary school in which young people are able to engage with film education potentially throughout their entire experience of high school. First exploring how School of Media seeks to reconcile aspects of film education with Scotland’s national ‘Curriculum for Excellence’, this essay subsequently adopts a chronological perspective, detailing specific aspects of School of Media’s approach within each of the six years of secondary school. The essay concludes by emphasising the importance of enabling and empowering teacher-led approaches to film education within Scottish classrooms.
High-school cinema curricula: Evidence of new trends in education
Authors: Desbarats Francis
Published: November 2021

Drawn from the author’s PhD, and originally published in Images Documentaires in 2000, this article presents an incisive portrait of the complex political and institutional history that led to the establishment of film education within the curriculum in French secondary schools. Mounting a detailed account of the nuances and successive developments within the field, this essay examines the chronology – starting within a post-war context – through which the successive influences of ciné-clubs, teachers, television, political movements and government interventions have shaped the form of curricular school-based film education in France today.
Information Seeking Behaviour of the Users of Academic Libraries
Authors: Kumari Kanchan , Sharma Swadesh
Published: November 2021

This study offers a critical review of selected studies. A point of departure is the focus on the methodology used and the related issue of whether the inferences drawn are justified by the methodologies used. This is thus meant to be potentially useful for researchers in the broad area of information –seeking behaviour of the users in a digital environment. Eleven studies were selected for a deeper understanding of their users’ information needs and information-seeking behaviour and to make suggestions on how to enhance the effectiveness of library services and their efficient utilisation. The libraries selected for the present study are diverse–college libraries, university libraries, public libraries and a Government Department library. Our review is based on the results obtained through critical study and examination of the literature with the main focus on the Information Seeking Behaviour of the users. There is a diverse range of libraries and users covered by these studies, and several interesting hypotheses could be statistically validated. Without statistical validation of hypotheses, the inferences lack robustness. This is a striking weakness of the extant literature-including the sample examined here. However, some constructive suggestions are made. These include a focus on special libraries, methodological extensions and refinements, and a broadening of the hypotheses and validation of inferences. We believe our review fulfils an important gap as scant attention is given to analytical rigour.
Exploring Sources for Seeking Cultural Heritage Information
Authors: Shimray Somipam Ronra , Ramaiah Chennupati K.
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to identify different sources used for seeking cultural heritage information. The paper aims to study the most vital sources used to seek cultural heritage information and examine the significant difference between sources and demographic variables. The study is conducted among youth of the Tangkhul tribe from Manipur state, India. The study used a structured questionnaire to collect data. Data screening, examining validity and reliability were conducted before analysis. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. An independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA test were carried out to check the significant differences. The study reveals that elders are the most prominent sources used for seeking cultural heritage information. The findings also expose that there is a significant difference between gender and Internet sources (p-value=0.040), similarly between marital status and electronic sources (p-value=0.028), likewise between education qualification and electronic sources (p-value=0.005), also between education qualification and audiovisual source (p-value=0.042) and between the current place of residence and audiovisual sources (p-value=0.049). The findings revealed that youth used different sources for seeking cultural heritage information and the most desired sources are elders (mean score=4.02), followed by the Internet (mean score=3.48) and social media (mean score=3.46). The authors reflect the study’s unique in conducting the research design. It acknowledged the gaps in the literature and the study proposed to fill the existing holes. The study also identified the most sought source used for seeking cultural heritage information, thereby adding research value.

Authors: Gajewska Grażyna
Published: November 2021

The article is concerned with the works of Polish female comic book artists. I advance the thesis that in their artistic work harbours autobiographical elements which constitute an important element of the whole. I begin the article by clarifying certain notions, namely women's, feminist and autobiography as they may be ambiguously construed. Also, the works in which such autobiographical themes are present are divided into three focus groups: 1. Revisionist representation of history, 2. Emotions, sex life, motherhood, 3. Relations of women with the world, the family, and oneself.

Performances enhancement of underwater wireless optical communications (UWOC) using pulse position modulation
Authors: Kandouci Chahinaz
Published: November 2021

In this work, we study the performance analysis of underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) transmission link by incorporating optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) using pulse position modulation (PPM) to enhance the channel range and cardinality. Bit error rate (BER) variations are examined versus the range, modulation type (on–off keying (OOK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), etc.), number of users as well as the channel attenuation caused by different water types. The power and transmitter inclination angle limitation, of the enhanced system, are also presented in order to determine the threshold for which the minimum BER 10−9 is achievable.
Water Content of Moist-Tamped Nonplastic Specimens for Constant-Volume Direct Simple Shear Testing
Authors: Chen Jiarui , Olson Scott M. , Banerjee Soham , Dewoolkar Mandar M. , Dubief Yves
Published: November 2021

Constant-volume direct simple shear (DSS) tests on dry soils are an efficient means to evaluate the behavior of cohesionless soils. However, cohesionless soil specimens prepared by dry techniques (e.g., air pluviation) may not be sufficiently contractive to directly evaluate the critical-state shear strength mobilized in monotonic loading. As an alternative, moist tamping allows preparation of loose specimens that exhibit contractive behavior throughout monotonic loading which, where feasible, can maximize testing efficiency in studying static liquefaction. This paper presents a theoretical background for this specimen preparation protocol and validates the approach using DSS test results for three nonplastic soils with various fines content (0 %, 15 %, and 60 %). The results illustrate that if the specimen preparation water content is selected to minimize initial soil suction within the moist-tamped specimen, then the effect of initial soil suction on shear resistance measured in constant-volume DSS testing is negligible when the specimen reaches the critical state. Thus, constant-volume DSS testing performed on moist-tamped nonplastic specimens without saturation appears to provide a feasible alternative to maximize testing efficiency for critical-state behavior studies.
Decreasing Alertness Modulates Perceptual Decision-Making
Authors: Jagannathan Sridhar R. , Bareham Corinne A. , Bekinschtein Tristan A.
Published: November 2021

The ability to make decisions based on external information, prior knowledge, and evidence is a crucial aspect of cognition and may determine the success and survival of an organism. Despite extensive work on decision-making mechanisms/models, understanding the effects of alertness on neural and cognitive processes remain limited. Here we use EEG and behavioral modeling to characterize cognitive and neural dynamics of perceptual decision-making in awake/low alertness periods in humans (14 male, 18 female) and characterize the compensatory mechanisms as alertness decreases. Well-rested human participants, changing between full-wakefulness and low alertness, performed an auditory tone-localization task, and its behavioral dynamics were quantified with psychophysics, signal detection theory, and drift-diffusion modeling, revealing slower reaction times, inattention to the left side of space, and a lower rate of evidence accumulation in periods of low alertness. Unconstrained multivariate pattern analysis (decoding) showed a ∼280 ms delayed onset driven by low alertness of the neural signatures differentiating between left and right decision, with a spatial reconfiguration from centroparietal to lateral frontal regions 150-360 ms. To understand the neural compensatory mechanisms with decreasing alertness, we connected the evidence-accumulation behavioral parameter to the neural activity, showing in the early periods (125-325 ms) a shift in the associated patterns from right parietal regions in awake, to right frontoparietal during low alertness. This change in the neurobehavioral dynamics for central accumulation-related cognitive processes defines a clear reconfiguration of the brain networks' regions and dynamics needed for the implementation of decision-making, revealing mechanisms of resilience of cognition when challenged by decreased alertness.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMost living organisms make multiple daily decisions, and these require a degree of evidence from both the environment and the internal milieu. Such decisions are usually studied under sequential sampling models and involve making a behavioral choice based on sensory encoding, central accumulation, and motor implementation processes. Since there is little research on how decreasing alertness affects such cognitive processes, this study has looked at the cognitive and neural dynamics of perceptual decision-making in people while fully awake and in drowsy periods. Using computational modeling of behavior and neural dynamics on human participants performing an auditory tone-localization task, we reveal how low alertness modulates evidence accumulation-related processes and its corresponding compensatory neural signatures.
FOREIGN CAPITAL INFLOWS IN CENTRAL AND EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: MINASSIAN Garabed , YOTZOV Victor
Published: November 2021

Free cross-border movement of goods and capital correlates with the general economic state of a country in both apparent and subtle ways. The intensity of financial and economic interactions with the outside world is an indicator of the sustainability and efficiency of the national economy.After joining the EU, all Member States liberalized the balance of payments (BoP), i.e. ensured free and unrestricted cross-border movement of goods and capital. For certain countries the liberalization of BoP was a considerable challenge, which they managed to successfully overcome. These were the EU countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) was active among the former socialist countries until 1990, or the so-called "CMEA-EU countries".For an economic comparison to be plausible, it has to be made between the dynamics of comparable economies. Such a group of economies is formed by the CMEA-EU countries. EU membership provided them with the opportunity to use on their own their potential in property, intellect, power and resources. This is the reason why the present study has adopted a comparative analysis based on CMEA-EU countries.An attempt has been made to comprehensively monitor and analytically assess all major financial flows, especially in the CMEA-EU countries, and their impact on economic dynamics. A comparison is made for both the positive and negative aspects of the incoming financial resources in these countries. Particular emphasis is placed on macroeconomic elements and policies that outline, create conditions, and predetermine the scale, interactions and projections of cross-border financial flows.
Verbal and linguocultural content of a text
Authors:   National University “Odesa Law Academy”, Mamych Myroslava
Published: November 2021

This article gives a detailed account of one of the topical issues of modern integrative linguistic stylistics, i.e., substantiation of the content of the latest concepts that are formed within the interrelated disciplines. Attention is specifically paid to the terms media stylistics, verbal and linguocultural content of the media. The author elaborates on the concept of linguocultural content of the media text interpreting it as linguistic and aesthetic signs of culture, components of linguistic and informational pictures of the world, i.e., a value-content meaning of the mass media which unfolds and concretizes the general and nationally marked concepts, and as a regular manifestation of the language norm. The data of the magazine A Woman shows that the verbal content is a significant, specific segment of the functioning of the modern Ukrainian literary language in the media space. It reflects the universal stratification of the language of national professional, social, every day, and artistic culture, the synergy of its mediatopes and media genres, broadcasts a hierarchy of social (socio-political, gender), psychological and economic stereotypes, and human needs. They are all united by the Ukrainian-centric linguocultural platform which consists of both value-semantic signs of culture and structural-level units of the literary-linguistic continuum. In terms of media stylistics, the language of Ukrainian-language media is analyzed in two complementary perspectives: 1) via metaphorical-associative field structures with specific core nominations; 2) via the principles of realization of the media structural-level norm in the mass media. Keywords: media stylistics, verbal content, linguocultural indicator of value, metaphorical-associative field, language norm, sign of culture.
Polysyndeton in Ukrainian poetry language of the second half of the 20th — begining of the 21st century: Typological characteristics and functional load
Authors:   Pedagogy and Psychology, O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, Tieliezhkina Olesia
Published: November 2021

Polysyndeton may be seen as not developed properly in the Ukrainian linguistic style, although it has been vastly applied in the language of poetry of Ukrainian artists in the second half of the 20th — beginning of the 21st century. The aim of this article is to reinterpret polysyndeton as a stylistic figure based on the rhythmic repetition of the same conjunctions, prepositions, and par ticles which help to achieve a harmonious structure of the poetic text. Rich data collected have allowed distinguishing varieties of polysyndeton due to the following criteria: 1) word class membership of a repeated unit, e.g., conjunctive, prepositional, and partial; 2) placement in contact, e.g., contact, distant; 3) the nature of ‘grammatical registration’ (for sentences of different grammatical structure). Moreover, all varieties of expressive means of a language are significant for the formation of the linguistic units of the poem: they perform pictorial and compositional functions and functions of accentuation, metaphorisation, the actualization of the emotional component of the expressed and harmonious organization of poetic text’s space. This indicates the multifunctionality of polysyndeton as a stylistic figure which contributes to the harmonization of a language and poetic narrative. Keywords: stylistic syntax, language and poetic narrative, multifunctionality, polysyndeton.
Concept of the historical dictionary of the linguistic terms
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kazymyrova Iryna
Published: November 2021

This article outlines theoretical principles of composing a historical dictionary of linguistic terms for the period from 1600s to 1950s. The author intends to implement the idea of modern lexicography in the creation of active type dictionaries aimed not only to reflect the semantic content but also reflect the dynamics of a word in its functioning. Such a dictionary can undoubtedly pursue the integrated task of a language description in which the word appears as a lexical unit and an element associated with the spiritual and material culture of an ethnic group. The article discusses stages for compiling a diachronic corpus of linguistic texts, namely the ISTLING corpus. At the preparatory stage, a diachronic cognitive map of the linguistic term which represents formal and semantic conceptualization and categorization is modeled. At the first stage, the electronic linguistic text archive, i.e., array of 400 electronic, scanned, and manually dialed editions, is created. Later, it will be transformed it into an electronic library of linguistic texts including markup of texts by type of the importance for user’s information. It will allow for using the corpus as an information, reference, and research system. Text analysis presented in the ISTLING corpus provides various linguistic source profiles generalizing information about using the linguistic term in these sources. The historical and terminological dictionary register is going to represent a complete list of linguistic terms by selected time intervals. Keywords: linguistic term, historical dictionary of linguistic terms, diachronic corpus of linguistic texts, linguistic profile of a source, diachronic cognitive map of a linguistic term.
Opioid Reduction Through Postoperative Pain Management in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery
Authors: Jones Kerwyn , Engler Laurie , Fonte Elizabeth , Farid Ibrahim , Bigham Michael T.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

Our goal with this initiative was to reduce discharge opioid prescriptions while maintaining optimal pain management through the use of standardized pain prescribing guidelines for pediatric patients after orthopedic surgical procedures.

METHODS

Through analysis of established yet inconsistent prescribing practices, we created a 4-tiered guideline for pediatric orthopedic postoperative pain management prescription ordering. Following the Model for Improvement methodology including iterative plan-do-study-act cycles, the team created an electronic medical record order set to be used at discharge from the hospital. The provider compliance with this order set was monitored and analyzed over time by using provider-level and aggregate control charts. A secondary measure of opioid prescriptions (morphine milligram Eq [MME] dosage per patient) was tracked over time. The balancing measure was the analysis of unanticipated opioid prescription refills.

RESULTS

Greater than 90% compliance with the guidelines was achieved and sustained for 20 months. This resulted in a 54% reduction in opioids prescribed during the improvement period (baseline = 71 MME per patient; postintervention = 33 MME per patient) and has been sustained for 12 months. The percentage of unanticipated opioid prescription refills did not significantly change from the period before the institution of the guidelines and after institution of the guidelines (2017 = 3%; 2019 = 3%).

CONCLUSIONS

The creation of these guidelines has led to a significant reduction in the number of opioids prescribed while maintaining effective postoperative pain management.

Published: November 2021

La leche de vaca es un componente importante en la dieta humana y uno de sus aportes nutricionales es la fracción lipídica formada por diversos ácidos grasos, entre ellos, el ácido linoleico (AL) de familia omega-6 y el ácido alfa-linolénico (AAL) de familia omega-3, ambos constituyentes estructurales de membranas de tejidos celulares y reguladores metabólicos. Por su importancia, el objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la concentración de ácidos grasos omega-3 (alfa-linolénico) y omega-6 (linoleico) mediante cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (GC-MS), en relación con la influencia de los factores región (Costa, Sierra y Amazonía) y época (lluviosa y seca) sobre la concentración de dichos ácidos. Se trabajó con 30 centros de acopio y se recolectó según el protocolo LCL-INS-01. El análisis composicional se realizó bajo el método ISO 9622-IDF 141/2013 /LCL-PE-01 y el análisis del perfil lipídico mediante GC-MS. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron concentraciones (%) promedio de 2,72 y 0,06 para AL y AAL, respectivamente, en el perfil lipídico. En cuanto al factor región, Costa presentó 2,07%, Sierra 3,03% y Amazonía 3,06%, por lo que se evidenció alta diferencia significativa (p ≤ 0,01) para el AL, mientras que el AAL no mostró variación. En el factor época, el AL presentó 2,63% en época seca y 3,03% en época lluviosa, y el AAL 0,14 y 0,06%, respectivamente. Los resultados permitieron concluir que el factor región influye en la concentración del AL, pero no en el AAL, y el factor época no es influyente en la concentración del AL ni en la del AAL.

"I Can’t Be Racist, I’m Gay”: Exploring Queer White Men’s Views on Race and Racism
Authors: Havey Nicholas F.
Published: November 2021

In society and on college campuses, whiteness has staked a claim as the default race for queerness. This has manifested in queer and trans people of color feeling like outsiders who must resist hegemonic whiteness at personal and institutional levels. This qualitative study explores how queer white men negotiate their relationship to race and racism on and off their campuses. These men oscillate between normalizing whiteness, working through whiteness, and working with their whiteness. Implications for improving campus climate and the experiences of queer and trans people of color (QTPOC) students, staff, and faculty are discussed.
A Whitened Rainbow: The In/visibility of Race and Racism in LGBTQ+ Higher Education Scholarship
Authors: Jackson Romeo , Lange Alex C. , Duran Antonio
Published: November 2021

Scholars critique LGBTQ+ social movements for failing to understand how oppressive systems like racism inform the experiences of LGBTQ+ community members. To investigate whether LGBTQ+ literature in postsecondary education reproduces this same pattern, we used a critical summative content analysis approach to examine research published on LGBTQ+ people between 2009 and 2019. Guided by a conceptual framework mobilizing notions of colorblindness and queer of color perspectives, we found that the 97 articles in the sample largely minimized the role that racism, anti-Blackness, whiteness, and settler colonialism plays in shaping LGBTQ+ realities in higher education. Implications for future scholarship are offered.

Published: November 2021

Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores da Educação Básica ao lidar com a inclusão de alunos com alguma deficiência ou transtorno no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19. Foram feitas entrevistas com quarenta e três professores e aplicado um questionário contendo questões abertas e fechadas, utilizando o google formulários. As questões abertas foram categorizadas com base na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin e os resultados indicaram a necessidade de contar com um professor de apoio, sendo este um fator relevante para o desenvolvimento cognitivo desses alunos. Outros pontos destacados pelos professores foram a necessidade de adaptações nas atividades propostas, maior presença dos pais no auxílio para a realização de tarefas e a importância das aulas presenciais. Além disso, outro fator que chamou atenção foi a ausência de recursos tecnológicos adequados para o acompanhamento das aulas, tendo em vista a falta de acesso à internet por parte dos alunos. Concluímos que algumas mudanças precisam ocorrer em relação à Inclusão na Educação para que todos os alunos que possuem algum tipo de transtorno ou deficiência de fato sejam integrados nas salas de aula regulares em condições de se desenvolverem adequadamente, o que demanda o oferecimento de uma estrutura de suporte humano e material nos ambientes escolares.

Published: November 2021

A gestão participativa, embora instituída nas normativas de constituição do Sistema Único de Saúde, ainda encontra desafios para efetivação em âmbito local, especialmente em territórios urbanos marcados pela violência e pobreza. O ensaio objetiva apresentar e discutir aspectos de uma experiência de gestão participativa em um território vulnerável, mediada pela Atenção Primária à Saúde. Esta experiência de cogestão da saúde foi desenvolvida entre 2009 a 2013 em Manguinhos, município do Rio de Janeiro. A partir do relato de gestores e de materiais técnicos produzidos, analisou-se a implementação de estratégias, tais como a mobilização para criação de um conselho gestor intersetorial local e aquelas de informação, educação e comunicação em saúde suportadas por apoiadores institucionais e pelas equipes de saúde da família. Conclui-se que práticas gerenciais e sanitárias democráticas podem ser desenvolvidas por meio de tecnologias sociais, que valorizem a gestão participativa e compartilhada entre trabalhadores-usuários-gestão.
Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the north-temperate Labrador Teas (Ericaceae: Rhododendron Subsect. Ledum) suggests a complex genetic history
Authors: Hart Andrew , Kron Kathleen , Gillespie Emily
Published: November 2021

The Labrador teas are a group of nearly circumboreal shrubs or sub-shrubs inhabiting damp habitats. The 4–7 currently recognized species are classified within Rhododendron subg. Rhododendron section Rhododendron subsect. Ledum. In floral characters, these species are extremely similar. In vegetative characters, species limits in the Labrador teas have been difficult to determine because many of the traditionally used morphological characters vary continually across the geographic range. This study investigated evolutionary history and preliminary consideration of some species boundaries in the Labrador teas using DNA sequence data from five molecular markers to generate a preliminary phylogeny of R. subsect. Ledum. Data were analyzed using Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods. The nuclear data indicate a monophyletic subsect. Ledum, but chloroplast data indicate that the North American taxa have an evolutionary history separate from the European and Asian taxa, suggesting that one or both lineages of subsect. Ledum may be of hybrid origin. Additionally, our analyses suggest that taxa combined in recent treatments (i.e. Rhododendron tomentosum) represent separate lineages and should be recognized as distinct instead of included within more broadly defined species, however our current level of sampling cannot completely resolve this issue. This study lays the groundwork for future phylogenetic studies within subsect. Ledum, illustrating the need to sample more intensively across taxa in order to capture what appears to be a complex genetic and biogeographic history.
A brief biography of Wolfgang Wolf and typification of the plant names he published
Authors: Hansen Curtis J.
Published: November 2021

Wolfgang Wolf (1872–1950) was a German-born Benedictine monk and self-taught botanist who lived and worked at the St. Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama, U.S.A. Wolf studied and documented the plant life of the north central region of the state, amassed a personal herbarium of thousands of sheets and became particularly expert in the genera Talinum and Erythronium. A brief biography of Wolf is presented, highlighting his little-known correspondences between many prominent botanists during the first half of the twentieth century. Typification of the nine names he published then follows, including the designation of four type specimens.
Conifer tracheids resolve conflicting structural requirements: Data, hypotheses, questions
Authors: Carlquist Sherwin
Published: November 2021

The nature of conduction involves movement of a liquid (under tension or pressure) through a solid (cell walls necessary to direct the liquid and provide mechanical strength). The numerous consequences of the liquid/solid nature of the conductive interface in plants can be viewed as a series of conflicting requirements that are resolved by various mechanisms. For example, the types of mechanical strength conferred by thicker cell walls (latewood) run counter to optimal conduction (earlywood). Conflict resolution situations are examined with light microscopy and SEM to show in detail not merely conflicting requirements but the various types of resolution in various conifers. Abies is presented as exemplary of a cool temperate conifer with numerous aspects to earlywood/latewood structure. Tropical conifers (Araucaria) present different compromises; the riparian conifer Dacrydium guillauminii has only earlywood; the parasitic conifer Parasitaxus has only latewood. Particular conifers have only some of the features by which latewood differs from earlywood. Cell dimorphism is only one aspect of resolution of conflicting requirements; others include modifications in pit size, shape, and density; the nature of the pit membrane; the nature of the pit cavity, pit border and pit aperture; and surface relief (warty layer) of the tracheid wall. The invention of coniferous bordered pits involves a circular shape, so that tension on the margo strands is equal, and thus the pit can be closed. These factors and margo pore maximization necessitate expending a large amount of space to pits in earlywood, the strength of which is thereby lessened and must be compensated by greater wall strength in latewood. The paper concludes with a series of twenty features which represent resolutions of conflicting requirements in terms of anatomical structure. Wood physiological literature is integrated with the anatomical observations.

Ultrasound examination of pregnant women in diagnosing fetal cardiac pathology
Authors: Lim Viktoria A.
Published: November 2021

Hypothesis/aims of study. Fetal heart defects are the most common malformations causing infant mortality. The task of the obstetric care service is to make a timely diagnosis, which includes high-quality ultrasound screening and, if necessary, fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to compare fetal echocardiography with postpartum echocardiography.

Study design, materials and methods. 101 pregnant women with both isolated fetal heart defects and combined pathology were examined for the period 20172019.

Results. The greatest number of heart defects was detected at 2331 weeks of gestation. The structure of the malformations is diverse, the most common one being a complete form of the atrioventricular canal defect. In multiple pregnancies, complex heart defects were often combined with abnormalities in other organ systems.

Conclusion. It is recommended to describe the heart structure in detail from 2122 weeks of pregnancy. If cardiac pathology is detected in utero, it is mandatory to conduct an examination of other fetal organs.
