Authors: Zhang Jialu , Shen Cheng , Diao Guangfen
Published: May 2022

This article takes the application of nanomaterials in new concrete materials as the research object and explores the defects of nanomaterials in improving the toughness and tensile capacity of traditional concrete by analyzing the effects of nanomaterials on the structure and properties of new concrete. This article takes the application of nano‐SiO2 in new concrete materials as an example. Firstly, the experiment of preparing nanoconcrete was carried out, and then, aiming at the experimental results, a detailed analysis and discussion on the effects of nano‐SiO2 on the shrinkage, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the new concrete materials were carried out. The research results show that the cement paste with nano‐SiO2 is much better in chemical shrinkage than the cement paste without admixture, and the chemical shrinkage value of the cement paste with nano‐SiO2 increases significantly in the early setting stage. The chemical shrinkage values are 11.4%, 26.7%, 53.9%, and 94.2%, respectively, according to the amount of nano‐SiO2 added. With the extension of the setting period, the growth rate of the shrinkage value of cement paste slows down; nano‐SiO2 can improve the compressive capacity and strength of concrete, and with the increase of the amount of compressive strength, the value of compressive strength is also increasing. In the early stage of coagulation, when the nano‐SiO2 dosage is 1.6%, the compressive strength of the coagulation for 3 days is 39.02%. With the prolongation of the setting period, the increase in compressive strength continues to increase, but the growth rate slows down; the addition of nano‐SiO2 has changed the microstructure of concrete. Nano‐SiO2 has high pozzolanic activity, which can promote the hydration process of cement, and because of the small particles, it can fill the voids of concrete, thereby improving its compactness and mechanical strength.
Quantum Decoherence Technique for Two Two-level Interacting Atomic Engineering in Dissipative Field
Authors: Shu Pengli
Published: May 2022

In order to improve the in-depth understanding and research on the dissipative field of atomic engineering, the research object of this paper is the dissipative field of atomic engineering. Through the engineering of two two-level interacting atoms as the background, an in-depth study of two two-level atoms is carried out, so the decoherence factor of two two-level atoms is obtained. In this paper, the numerical simulation calculation experiment of the dissipative field of atomic engineering is carried out, and the evolution of the quantum coherent oscillation of the dissipative field to the quantum decoherence is discussed. The results indicate that the dissipation coefficient and strength of the atom-light field interaction not only affect the oscillation of the quantum coherent evolution of atomic states but also the periodicity of the evolution. All preliminary results throw light on the nature of two-level interacting atoms in the dissipative field of atomic engineering, which also provides a reference value for related researchers.

Published: May 2022

The bariatric food pyramid is a standard for long-term healthy living and nutritional habits of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, taking their gastric capacity and special nutritional requirements into account. This study aimed to evaluate how the compliance with the pyramid affects the anthropometric change in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, depending on the period after surgery. 81 patients who have undergone bariatric surgery between August 2016 and September 2018 participated in the study. The patients were evaluated in the postoperative period and were divided into three groups according to the year they had the operation. Food consumption frequency information was obtained from the patients, and the amount of food consumed per day was recorded in grams. Protein, vegetable, fruit, grain, and oil consumption was calculated according to the pyramid and calculated as portions. A statistically significant difference was found for all three groups in terms of weight loss and body mass index (BMI) changes before and after surgery (

p

,

p

, respectively). It was observed that the amount of protein consumed by the patients was sufficient, cereal was high, and fruit was insufficient. Patients who consumed foods that were not recommended slowed in weight loss. In conclusion, it is estimated that increased consumption of grains and nonrecommended foods may cause weight gains. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to ensure that patients are fed in accordance with the pyramid and followed for many years.

Published: May 2022

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) or premature ovarian failure (POF) is known as a state of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Stem cell therapy is expected to be used in the treatment of POI. The aim of the present study was to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC) transplantation for the treatment of POI in a rat model of POI induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX) injection. The ovarian function was examined by evaluating the weight of the ovary and body, estrus cycle, ovarian morphology, hormonal secretion, granulosa cell apoptosis, and fertility. The results showed that the ovarian function indicators of the modeled rats were comparable to those of the control rats after UCMSC transplantation, indicating that the ovarian function of the modeled rats recovered to a satisfactory extent. Our research may provide an experimental clue for the clinical application of UCMSC transplantation in the treatment of POI. Further experiments will focus on the detailed signaling pathway study of the molecular mechanisms of injury and repairment on the treatment with UCMSCs transplantation in the rat POI models.

Published: May 2022

According to the Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) in the 2019-20 academic year, the wind power plant produces 23% of the biomass power supply in the Indian electrical commodities. To maintain the power withstanding capability needed for future electrical commodities, a yearly power shutdown program is implemented. An additional wind power plant unit will be erected and create more electricity, thereby balancing India’s commercial electricity needs. Even in a nonstationary working environment, continuous monitoring and analyzing the efficiency of wind turbines is a more difficult task. Consequently, in this paper, a health index calculation for wind power plants is proposed utilizing neurofuzzy (NF) modeling. Wind generator efficiency can be measured mathematically by recording three crucial primitivistic such as observed rotation speed, generation wound temperature, and gearbox heat. Fuzzy rules are used to design the parameters of the neural network (NN), and the accumulated signal is compared using the nonlinear extrapolation approach to determine the wind generator’s behavior and evaluate the hazards. During the experimental study, two windows of 24 hours and 60 hours are used, where the deviation signal required for the hazard induction is investigated. The proposed approach can accurately calculate the wind generator’s health state. As a result of an improved health operating and management (HOM) system, the amount of power generated by industrials and domestic appliances has increased dramatically.

Introduction. Over the past few years, liver surgery has been in constant evolution and gained many improvements that helped surgeons push limits further. A complex procedure such as left extended trisectionectomy, as described by Makuuchi in 1987, may be performed in selected cases. Aim. Describe a case of successful resection of a huge bilobar liver sarcoma involving all hepatic veins from a young female patient, in which the blood outflow was preserved through an inferior right hepatic vein, leaving only segment 6 as liver remnant. Case Report. A 19-year-old female with a 3-month history of abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss was referred for our evaluation. CT scan and MRI revealed a heterogeneous and bulky expansive hepatic lesion, sparing only segment 6, with an estimated volume of 530 cm3, corresponding to a 1.2 FLR/BW ratio. The tumor involved the three major hepatic veins, but an inferior right hepatic vein was present, draining the spared segment 6. She was submitted to a left trisectionectomy extended to the caudate lobe and segment 7, including resection of all hepatic veins and lymphadenectomy of the hepatic pedicle. She was discharged on the 7th postoperative day without complications. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated an undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver. Conclusion. Inferior right hepatic vein-preserving left extended trisectionectomy is a safe and feasible procedure that should be performed by a hepatobiliary team experienced in major complex hepatectomies.

The physical and geometrical interpretations have been shown using software in 2 and 3-dimensional surfaces. The obtained results have applications in mathematical and applied sciences. It can also solve different nonlinear integro-partial differential equations which have different applications in physical phenomena using this new method. It has many applications to solve the nonlinear nature of the physical world.
Receptor Status after Neoadjuvant Therapy of Breast Cancer: Significance and Implications
Authors: Shaaban Abeer M. , Provenzano Elena
Published: May 2022

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is now established in routine management of early breast cancer. Alterations in oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) following NACT are reported, with wide variation in results across series. In larger series, changes in ER status are identified in 5–23%, whilst changes in PR status are more frequent (14.5–67%). HER2 status changes less frequently with loss being more common than gain, and higher rates of change with immunohistochemistry are observed compared to in situ hybridization and following HER2-targeted therapy compared with chemotherapy alone. Triple negative is the most stable molecular subtype with combined ER, and HER2-positive cancers show the highest rate of change. Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy is used less commonly than NACT, and whilst loss of ER is rare, changes in PR status can occur in up to 40% of cases. There is relatively little published data on the impact of change in receptor status on survival outcomes. In patients whose tumours become ER or HER2 positive post-NACT, endocrine or anti-HER2 therapy can be initiated, although evidence from clinical trials is lacking. Most guidelines do not currently recommend routine retesting; however it should be considered in some circumstances.

Bullous retinal detachment is a rare complication in the chronic phase of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Only a small subset of eyes with chronic CSC develops into the bullous variant of CSC (bCSC). In patients with bCSC, the elevated concentration of fibrin in the subretinal space leads to persistent retinal detachment and eventually, severe vision loss. We experienced a case of unilateral bCSC with a massive accumulation of subretinal fibrin. Multiple leakage points and dilated choroidal veins were also observed. The patient underwent surgical removal of subretinal fibrin and silicone oil injection followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT). After this treatment, the retina was successfully reattached, and the affected eye was free from recurrent exudative changes for more than 18 months. Massive subretinal fibrin could be surgically removed to prevent the formation of subretinal fibrosis and retinal fold, and PDT under silicone oil can control the underlying exudative changes in bCSC.
Malignant Broncho-Oesophageal Fistula following Radiotherapy for Noninvasive T3 Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Reading Dwayne , Burmeister Bryan
Published: May 2022

Malignant tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF) can result from tumour progression and invasion of adjacent organs, or a complication of treatment. In the posttreatment setting, incidence of TEF in cases with preceding airway invasion (T4b) are not infrequently reported; however, for those for whom disease was confined to organ (T1–3) at staging, this is a rare complication. Management for these cases is palliative in nature, with the goal to prevent aspiration by closing the connection and facilitate safe resumption of oral intake where possible. Herein we report a case of a 71-year-old female with a T3 oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, who presented with new onset dysphagia 2 weeks after completing a course of definitive radiotherapy and was found to have a broncho-oesophageal fistula. This patient was managed with dual stenting of both the airway and oesophagus, an emerging management option for this condition, and was thereafter able to safely resume oral intake.

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. Although usually indolent, high-grade MTSCC has been reported to exhibit an aggressive clinical course. Herein, we report a case of high-grade renal MTSCC. An 86-year-old man visited our hospital with fever and fatigue. Based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography findings, the patient was diagnosed with clinical stage T2aN0M0 right renal cell carcinoma and underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Histological examination showed tubular to tubulopapillary structures accompanied by mucinous stroma, suggesting high-grade renal MTSCC. He remained recurrence- and metastasis-free 6 months after nephrectomy. Since high-grade renal MTSCC may have an aggressive clinical course, such patients should be observed carefully after radical nephrectomy.
PARP Inhibition and Beyond in BRCA-Associated Breast Cancer in Women: A State-Of-The-Art Summary of Preclinical Research on Risk Reduction and Clinical Benefits
Authors: Pauwels Ernest K.J. , Bourguignon Michel H.
Published: May 2022

In mammalian cells, DNA damage response initiates repair by error-free homologous recombination (HRR) or by error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). DNA damage is detected by PARP proteins that facilitate this repair, both in normal cells and in cancer cells. Cells containing BRCA1/2 mutations have an HRR-deficient repair mechanism which may result in unrepaired one-ended double-strand breaks and stalled replication forks, considered as the most lethal cell damage. Here, we review the state of the art of the role of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as a precision-targeted anticancer drug in BRCA1/2-mutated female breast cancer. Although knowledge is incomplete, it is assumed that the main role of the archetype PARP1 in the cell nucleus is to detect and adhere to single-strand breaks. This mediates possible damage repair, after which cells may continue replication; this process is called synthetic lethality. As for PARP clinical monotherapy, progression-free survival has been observed using the FDA- and EMA-approved drugs olaparib and talazoparib. In the case of combined drug therapy, a synergy has been demonstrated between veliparib and platinum drugs. Information regarding adverse effects is limited, but hematological effects have been described. However, there is need for multicenter trials, preferably conducted without commercial guidance and funding. Some of the available trials reported resistance to PARP inhibitors. In this review, we also describe the various causes of resistance to PARP inhibitors and research indicating how resistance can be overcome.

A cirurgia de hérnia inguinal (HI) é um dos procedimentos mais comuns na prática do cirurgião geral. Estima-se que 20 milhões dessas operações sejam realizadas no mundo anualmente. Com o advento da técnica sem tensão e implante de tela sintética, as taxas de recidiva caíram expressivamente e a recidiva deixou de ser a principal complicação tardia após o reparo da hérnia inguinal. Hoje a principal complicação pós-operatória tardia da cirurgia de HI é a dor crônica inguinal pós-operatória (DCIP). A definição de DCIP é a dor pós-operatória da região inguinal após 3-6 meses da cirurgia. Relatamos o caso de um jovem paciente do sexo masculino que se apresentou com DCIP após ter sido previamente submetido a duas herniorrafias inguinais. Inicialmente apresentava dor inguinal a esquerda sem abaulamento evidente e na ocasião foi submetido a herniorrafia inguinal esquerda pela técnica de Lichtenstein. Não houve resolução da dor após a cirurgia. Após 1 ano foi novamente operado, dessa vez bilateralmente e infelizmente evoluiu com piora da dor apresentava dor predominantemente neuropática (em queimação e com irradiação para região testicular bilateralmente) e intensidade moderada (escala visual analógica 6), sem melhora com anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais ou analgésicos. Apresentava dor ao toque do anel inguinal externo bilateralmente, hiperestesia no teritório de nervos genito-femoral, ílio-hipogástrico e ílio-inguinal do lado esquerdo e hipoestesia no território dos três nervos do lado direito. Apresentou alívio temporário da dor após bloqueio anestésico inguinal bilateral. Paciente foi então submetido a triplo-neurectomia bilateral com remoção das telas de polipropileno. Em seguimento um ano após o tratamento cirúrgico, o paciente permanece sem dor inguinal.

The Neotropical ant-parasitic genus Neodohrniphora Malloch is revised based on female specimens. Herein, eleven species are studied, seven of which are new to science: N. canina sp. nov., N. gigantea sp. nov., N. mokana sp. nov., N. pseudoacromyrmecis sp. nov., N. queirozi sp. nov., N. rapunzelae sp. nov., and N. truncata sp. nov. Neodohrniphora wasmanni Borgmeier is revalidated and two new synonymies are proposed: N. similis Prado is synonymized with N. acromyrmecis Borgmeier, and N. unichaeta Disney is synonymized with N. wasmanni Borgmeier. In order to provide stability and a necessary standard for comparison, a neotype for N. cognata Prado is designated based on material collected from the same type locality, data, and collector as the now lost or destroyed holotype. A new key for all the females of Neodohrniphora, new host records, and details of ovipositor morphology are provided.
Growing Up on the Wrong Side of the Mechitza: A Case Study of Contemporary Queer Jewish Language
Authors: Perleberg Ellen , Dy Grace Elizabeth C.
Published: May 2022

This article presents vocabulary and approaches for expressing LGBTQ+ identities and practices, which derive from Jewish tradition used by queer Jews in the Seattle area. From thirty-four semi-structured interviews with affiliates of Seattle Jewish life, the authors identify eight tokens of queer Jewish English vocabulary, including multilingual wordplay used to construct new terms for queer concepts, the mechitza as a spatial idiom for transgender identity, and “Talmudic genders” being reclaimed as contemporary nonbinary identities. Additionally, queer Jews utilize a variety of approaches to navigate Hebrew, from formal efforts like the Nonbinary Hebrew Project to invoking low-proficiency-driven circumlocution. These approaches demonstrate that queer Jews draw on a range of linguistic and cultural resources to describe their identities and experiences, and the distribution of queer language reflects the continued challenge cis-heteronormatively gendered religious practices present for queer Jews and the corresponding need for queer Jewish vocabulary to make space within them.
Visualizing a Common World of Entanglement through Multiple Viewpoints
Authors: Myrstad Anne , Kleemann Carola
Published: May 2022

The authors explore how multiple viewpoints can challenge our habitualised way of viewing and expand the area of thinking about children’s outdoor learning. They draw on micro-fieldwork in a Sámi kindergarten in Arctic Norway. There, learning through participation and practical experiences is a traditional strategy in child rearing. This method of learning is currently being transformed in Sámi kindergartens, wherein the goal is to strengthen the Sámi language, identity and culture. The authors’ aim is to explore how learning through participation in pedagogical practices could be made visible by employing different viewpoints. They used GoPro® cameras worn on children’s bodies, combined with their own gaze, as well as a handheld video camera used by one of the authors. Such a combination of viewpoints allowed gaining an insight into the complex outdoor kindergarten practices. Drawing on Jayne White’s polyphonic dialogical approach to video, the authors placed these diverse viewpoints in a dialogue during the process of analysis. These dialogues revealed our pre-defined human-centric view and effected a change in our theoretical approach, from socio-cultural learning theories to new materialist theories, to include the premise that children learn in all interactions and entanglements that they are part of in a socio-material world.
Transformations of Piety and Patronage in the Classical Urdu Marṡiyah
Authors: Knapczyk Peter
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the changing roles and status of marṡiyah poets within hierarchies of political and religious authority during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A direct link between the marṡiyah tradition and these institutions was a system of patronage that bound poets to the brokers of power. Although in the early 1700s marṡiyah poets were often dismissed as “inept poets,” in subsequent generations marṡiyah poets were nurtured by the patronage of political rulers and counted among the masters of Urdu literature. The Navābs of Avadh in particular, with their promotion of Shīʿī ritual in their capital Lucknow, helped to widen the audience for the marṡiyah. Such temporal rulers appropriated the marṡiyah’s wide appeal as a strategy for fostering social and cultural cohesion among an otherwise diverse population. The Urdu marṡiyah gave expression to the localized concerns and novel self-understanding of the Navābs as they broke politically and ideologically from Mughal rule. These changes in the systems of patronage for the marṡiyah and the genre’s unique association with Avadh’s political and religious project resulted in marṡiyah poets’ growing status in both literary and religious circles. As marṡiyah poets began to feature prominently in the religious life of Avadh, their authority and pious personas came to strain relations with marṡiyah poets’ more worldly patrons. By the mid-1800s, the growing power and influence of the British had undermined the traditional systems of literary patronage for the marṡiyah. But as marṡiyah poets sought out new sources of patronage, they helped extend Urdu’s popularity to distant regional centers. Across India, marṡiyah poets were instrumental in establishing networks of patronage and creating models of language and performance that were influential in Urdu literary circles well beyond the marṡiyah genre, placing such poets as Mīr Anīs and Mirzā Dabīr at the vanguard of crafting the cosmopolitan orientation of Urdu literary culture.

Two new species of Zonocypris G. W. Müller, 1898 are described from the late Aptian of the Araripe Basin, Northeast Brazil: Zonocypris berthoui sp. nov. and Zonocypris dorsoconvexa sp. nov. Species of this genus occur from the Early Cretaceous to the Holocene and are characterized by a small globular carapace, often ornamented over the whole surface by concentric ridges with simple normal pore canals, showing a remarkable morphological stability during the evolution of the genus. The first records of the genus point to an Atlantic origin. In Aptian deposits, species of Zonocypris are rare, occurring in brackish/freshwater assemblages, with marine influence.
The Limit of Intimacy and the Intimacy of Limit: Play and its Relation to the Bad Object
Authors: Cooper Steven H.
Published: May 2022

Attachment to the bad object has remained a durable, undertheorized clinical problem. With an extended clinical example, the experience of limit, in both patient and analyst, is examined as part of a dense undercurrent in the relationship, including transference, that gives rise to shifts in understanding the attachment to an unsatisfying internal object. Importantly, the patient’s and the analyst’s experiences of limit are “in play” during the process of changes in the patient’s attachment to the bad object. The relation of patient and analyst to the patient’s internal objects, including bad and unsatisfying objects, is where play itself begins. Limit itself is constitutive of play. The analyst’s attempt to analyze his own thoughts and experience regarding limits in maintaining an empathic connection to the patient’s psychic reality influences the patient’s capacity to take in a new part of his or her experience.
Stance, Set, Transference: The Differentiation of Two Modes of Clinical Technique
Authors: Celenza Andrea
Published: May 2022

Comparative approaches to psychoanalytic theory are a major source of exposure to different theoretical orientations and clinical technique. However, it is not always clear what the analyst actually does when translating theory into practice. As an attempt at clarification, descriptions are provided of two listening stances or attentional sets that are associated with different modes of analytic listening. These modes reside at a relatively low level of abstraction and are experience-near. The two listening stances are (1) a directed attentional set aimed at the identification of conscious or unconscious repetitious patterns, and (2) a diffuse attentional set receptive to emergent phenomena for the purpose of elaborating unconscious fantasy. These listening modes are combined in everyday practice and usually occur in an oscillating fashion; thus, separation of these listening modes in this discussion is for heuristic purposes. At the same time, these modes are prioritized differently among various theoretical models depending on the analyst’s intention and goals. They also can be correlated with different types of transferences, evoking different types of clinical material that correspond to the analyst’s goals and/or to phases in treatment. Because these attentional modes are governed by different neurophysiological substrates, it is helpful for analysts to have these modes clearly differentiated in their minds, even though engaging these modes tends to be spontaneous and rapidly oscillating. Two clinical vignettes are provided that illustrate the use of these two modes of listening where one or the other is prioritized.
Caring for Our Human Nature
Authors: McTavish James
Published: May 2022

The care for creation is an important call for all. Our human bodies form part of this created reality and should be treated with dignity and respect. Pope Benedict XVI underlined the ecology of man. Pope Francis took up this teaching in his pontificate, encouraging us to welcome the gift of our body, and critiquing ideologies which undermine the respect due our bodies. Proponents of the so-called “gender ideology” affirm surgery on the body, which generally involves the removal of healthy functioning tissues and organs, is largely mutilating, and can involve exorbitant costs. The voices of those who have “detransitioned” such as Keira Bell need also to be heard. The Congregation for Catholic Education, in its document “Male and Female He Created Them: Toward a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education” warns us against theories that aim to annihilate the concept of “nature,” that is, everything we have been given as a pre-existing foundation of our being and action in the world. Our growing awareness of the importance of the environment and nature can lead us to a greater respect for our own human nature. We are all called to participate in the care for nature and creation, especially of our bodies as part of the created reality.

Non-technical summary

Many voices today remind us to take care of nature and creation. Our bodies are part of this created reality. Proponents of gender ideology do not hesitate to promote surgery which radically alters and even mutilates the body. Our increasing ecological awareness can help us grow more sensitive to the ecology of man and woman, and value the gift of the nature and body given to each one of us.

Short summary

Let us take care of nature and creation, including our own bodies.
The Relationship Between Adult Attachment and Complicated Grief: A Systematic Review
Authors: Russ Victoria , Stopa Lusia , Sivyer Katy , Jane Hazeldine  , Tess Maguire
Published: May 2022

Attachment insecurity, including attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, is proposed as a key factor disrupting adaptive recovery following bereavement, resulting in complicated grief. However, findings are inconsistent across studies. This review aimed to synthesise existing research on attachment patterns in adults experiencing complicated grief to better understand this relationship. 22 cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (5149 participants), published between 2003 and 2020, met inclusion criteria. Higher levels of attachment anxiety were consistently associated with symptoms of complicated grief. Higher levels of attachment avoidance were associated with symptoms of complicated grief, although this relationship was less consistent. The review has implications for clinical practice as bereaved adults with insecure attachment histories may be particularly vulnerable to experiencing complicated grief. The research is limited by the reliance on mainly cross-sectional studies. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, and studies that explore men’s experiences, and of individuals living in non-Western countries.

Cetaceans inhabit oceans throughout the world. Four specific odontocetes, namely Cuvier's beaked whale ( Ziphius cavirostris), Indo Pacific finless porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides), pygmy sperm whale ( Kogia breviceps), and dwarf sperm whale ( Kogia sima), have occasionally been found stranded along Thailand's coastal waters (the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand). Although shared haplotypes of each species for many locations have been found, and some species have revealed genetic structure through haplotype networks, cetaceans in Thai waters have never been investigated in terms of comparing haplotypes to those that have existed before. Herein, we have illustrated the matrilineally phylogeographic relationships among worldwide populations through Bayesian Phylogenetic tree computations using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Median-Joining Networks (MJNs). Unique haplotypes of the control region mitochondrial DNA of Thai odontocetes were found for all species. Moreover, a high degree of worldwide haplotype diversity (hd) above 0.8 among the four species was detected, while the lowest degree of nucleotide diversity (π) was observed in the Indo Pacific finless porpoise (1.12% ± 0.184%). An expansion of the effective female population size worldwide of three odontocete species was detected using Bayesian Skyline Reconstruction, but this did not include the Indo Pacific finless porpoise. Because Thai seas are located within the Indo Polynesian province, where this biodiversity hotspot exists, we speculate that these odontocetes may also inhabit specific habitats within the Malay Peninsula and Thailand's territorial waters. Therefore, closer attention and monitoring of these cetacean populations will be necessary for future conservation efforts.

Published: May 2022

Purpose

Leap Motion Controller is a device that can capture hand gestures and reproduce these as data comprising several parametric elements. We analyzed surgical suture motion using this device and investigated the optical methodology for clinical applications.

Methods

We recruited medical students and residents (novice group) and vascular surgeons (specialist group). The operators applied sutures once on a prosthetic graft, and the captured motion was analyzed.

Results

Ten novices, who each received procedural instruction for at least 2 h, and 10 specialists were recruited. The hand gesture consisted of four elements (roll, pitch, yaw, and wrist angle). Since “roll” was the only element in this simple suture movement that showed some difference between the two groups, we analyzed three parameters: (1) the suturing time, (2) the difference in the degree between two piercing points, and (3) slope of the roll. We found that the specialist group demonstrated significantly shorter suturing times and a larger degree of the slope.

Conclusion

Leap Motion Controller analysis with the roll revealed that the novices could use the roll motion after only 2 h of instruction; however, the suturing speed and smoothness were secondary to those of the specialists.

Published: May 2022

This article addresses the research and development of a reliable interconnection technique for mounting surface mounted device components onto newly developed conductive stretchable textile ribbons. The alternative nonconductive adhesive bonding in which electrical contact is realized only by mechanical pressure and fixed by an adhesive and the conventional soldering technique were selected for examination. Assessment of the performance of these techniques and their usability for interconnecting components on conductive textile ribbons was also our research goal. Reliability tests of the electrical and mechanical properties of realized interconnections (dry heat, damp heat, washing, electrical current load, jerk, and stretch tests) were realized. The results show that the nonconductive adhesive technique results in good mechanical properties and acceptable median electrical resistance of less than 2 Ω even after 90 washing cycles. It is also very gentle and fully compatible with textile production due to the maximal processing temperature lower than 70°C, without the risk of short circuit occurrence. This technique is suitable for sensors, illumination or data transfer applications. While soldering results in excellent median electrical resistance of less than 20 mΩ, it is more complex and costly. Moreover, there is a risk of short circuits as well as of textile damage by the high thermal load over 150°C. Soldering is more suitable for power supply applications or heating.

The above-mentioned results were also confirmed in a decision analysis with pairwise comparisons, involving company representatives considering introducing the above-mentioned interconnection techniques into their production. The nonconductive adhesive technique was evaluated as 15% better in overall decision analysis than the low-temperature soldering.
Pleasurescapes on the Edge: Performing Modernity on Urban Waterfronts (1880-1960)
Authors: Kosok Lisa
Published: May 2022

“Pleasurescapes,” also called amusement or entertainment quarters, are public spaces that are constituent for modern cities. They emerged during the period of urbanization and were constantly reshaped and negotiated. “Pleasurescapes” is an analytical concept that describes and reflects the historical, spatial, sociocultural, and infrastructural development of pleasure spaces during the long turn of the century around 1900. This issue explores the particular role of pleasurescapes on waterfronts and in port cities.
Surgical outcomes and the factors affecting lung expansion following open window thoracostomy in chronic tuberculous empyema with destroyed lung
Authors: Dantis Klein , Kumar Dewan Ravindra
Published: May 2022

Background

Patients with chronic tuberculous empyema and destroyed lung on a prolonged intercostal tube with failed lung expansion considered unsuitable for single-lung ventilation have poor outcomes. The study's objective was to analyze the surgical outcomes and lung expansion factors in these patients following the open window thoracostomy (OWT) procedure.

Methods

In a prospective study, patients (males = 63, females = 12) diagnosed with tuberculosis who underwent OWT were analyzed between 2017 and 2018. Factors including age, sex, side, comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), bacteriological culture, and patency of OWT site were evaluated for lung expansion.

Results

Mean preoperative weight 40.96 ± 5.70 kg increased significantly postoperatively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (30.66%) was the most typical organism isolated and smoking (21.3%) was the common risk factor. At 6-month follow-up, complete lung expansion was noted in 60% of patients, while partial and no expansion is seen in 17.3% and 22.3% patients. Similarly 82.4% patients with pre-operative BMI>18.5 kg/m2 had complete lung expansion, while with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, 41.7% and 45.8% had partial and no-expansion. Complete lung expansion was seen in 97.1%, 18.2%, and 23.1% of patients with obliterated OWT, sputum, and pleural pus positive for acid-fast bacilli (active disease), while in 57.9% of patients with comorbidities, complete lung expansion was absent.

Conclusion

The analysis of various factors concludes that lung expansion is not affected by age, sex, side of the disease, and co-morbid conditions; however, extensively diseased lungs with low BMI and positive bacteriological culture, especially P. aeruginosa, active disease, smoking, and patent OWT, interfered with the expansion of the lung.

Bias-Based Cyberbullying Among Early Adolescents: Associations With Cognitive and Affective Empathy
Authors: Hinduja Sameer , Patchin Justin W.
Published: May 2022

Bias-based cyberbullying involves repeated hurtful actions online that devalue or harass one’s peers specific to an identity-based characteristic. Cyberbullying in general has received increased scholarly scrutiny over the last decade, but the subtype of bias-based cyberbullying has been much less frequently investigated, with no known previous studies involving youth across the United States. The current study explores whether empathy is related to cyberbullying offending generally and bias-based cyberbullying specifically. Using a national sample of 1644 12- to 15-year-olds, we find that those higher in empathy were significantly less likely to cyberbully others in general, and cyberbully others based on their race or religion. When the two sub-facets of empathy were considered separately, only cognitive empathy was inversely related to cyberbullying, while (contrary to expectation) affective empathy was not. Findings support focused efforts in schools to improve empathy as a means to reduce the incidence of these forms of interpersonal harm.

Published: May 2022

The current experience sampling study examined the change in distinct daily positive and negative emotions of 136 students (aged 10–12) participating in the Flourishing Students program. Students completed smartphone-based questionnaires covering emotions, daily activities, and social context at eight semi-random intervals for six days. Using a cluster randomized design, 70 students participated in 32 well-being lessons, and 66 students followed their standard curriculum. The findings suggest that the intervention had a buffering effect on the increase in daily negative emotions that is typical during early adolescence. Moreover, participants in the program experienced positive changes in feeling less lonely and increased levels of calmness and enjoyment of being alone. Noticed in several daily activities were similar differences between the groups. The intervention effect was slightly more pronounced in girls than boys. Overall, we hope to encourage incorporation of positive psychology into education and to broaden the scope of evaluation methods.
