Pendahuluan: Perubahan gaya hidup pada remaja berpotensi menyebabkan masalah pada pola berat badan, tinggi badan, dan berdampak pada indeks massa tubuh serta rasio lingkar pinggang-panggul. Perubahan ini disertai pula dengan perubahan pada kelengkungan sagital tulang belakang berupa hiperkifosis torakal dan hiperlordosis lumbar. Hiperkifosis torakal dan hiperlordosis lumbar merupakan suatu penyakit yang tidak hanya menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan pada siswa-siswi, namun juga pada dampak psikologis berupa gangguan citra diri. Tindakan preventif merupakan tindakan yang dapat dilakukan, yaitu mengetahui korelasi antar variabel dengan lengkung kifosis torakal dan lordosis lumbar.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross-sectional dan dilakukan dalam 1 hari. Penelitian dilakukan di 2 sekolah, yaitu SMAN 2 Jakarta dan SMA Katolik Diakonia. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan timbangan untuk mengukur berat badan dan pita ukur untuk tinggi badan. Pengukuran tulang belakang sagital menggunakan flexicurve.Hasil: Dari 154 responden, 49,35% berjenis kelamin pria dan 50,65% berjenis kelamin wanita. Siswa-siswi yang mempunyai lengkung tulang belakang hiperkifosis adalah 24.68%, sedangkan untuk hiperlordosis lumbar adalah 24.02%. Ditemukan korelasi bermakna positif lemah didapatkan antara Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dengan hiperlordosis lumbar, namun tidak ditemukan korelasi bermakna lainnya antar variabel. Korelasi bermakna lemah juga ditemukan antara lingkar pinggang dan li¬ngkar panggul dengan hiperlordosis lumbar.Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi lemah antara IMT dengan hiperlordosis lumbar pada siswa siswi SMA. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara rasio lingkar pinggang panggul terhadap hiperlordosis lumbar, namun terdapat korelasi lemah antar lingkar pinggang dan lingkar panggul dengan hiperlordosis lumbar. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara variabel yang diteliti dengan hiperkifosis torakal.

Chapter 15: Moving on: Life after eikaiwa
Authors: Boon Andrew
Published: November 2020

Andy Boon examines the future careers of those who worked in and departed from the eikaiwa industry. He draws upon both his own experience and the stories of ten former eikaiwa teachers who are currently working in fields as diverse as banking, public relations, and photography. The stories in this chapter highlight a number of transferable skills that experience in eikaiwa provided these individuals and how they were able to utilise them in their different professional sectors. His insights challenge the predominantly negative framing of eikaiwa by focusing on the growth that can occur through working in the industry.

La philanthropie entre business et pratiques militaires
Authors: Khmelevskaya Yulia
Published: November 2020

Les opérations menées par l’American Relief Administration contre la famine dans la Russie dans les années 1920 se distinguent tant par leur ampleur (près de 10 millions de personnes nourries chaque jour en août 1922) que par les méthodes qui ont été déployées. S’appuyant à la fois sur des sources américaines et russes, l’article montre comment la philanthropie a ici pris la forme d’un véritable « business of relief », combinaison de méthodes managériales (organisation, maximisation du profit, absence de compassion manifeste envers les bénéficiaires) et de pratiques militaires. L’ARA est en effet née de la Première Guerre mondiale : non seulement les premiers stocks distribués en sont issus, mais c’est là que ses dirigeants ont acquis une expérience et que les méthodes de gestion des populations ont été testées. L’article montre également comment l’ARA a su se ménager une véritable marge d’indépendance par rapport au pouvoir soviétique, malgré les tentatives de celui-ci de le contrôler, et suggère qu’une convergence de méthode, basée sur la mobilisation permanente de la population et une fascination pour le taylorisme, a pu contribuer à l’acceptation de l’ARA. L’article rappelle enfin la manière dont la population des campagnes a reçu les envoyés de l’ARA, et comment celle-ci a adapté son action, abandonnant certaines aspirations ou méthodes scientifiques face à l’état de dévastation du pays.
Le CICR et la Russie
Authors: Fayet Jean-François
Published: November 2020

La Russie est vraisemblablement l’un des pays qui, en tant que partenaire, mais aussi en tant que champ d’action, que terrain privilégié de ses interventions, a le plus marqué l’histoire du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR). L’importance de ce pays procède d’abord de la durée de leur relation, presque aussi ancienne que le CICR lui- même. Inscrite dans le temps long, cette histoire est toutefois marquée par l’alternance de périodes d’intense collaboration avec des phases de tensions et d’absences. Il s’agit donc d’une relation souvent heurtée à l’image des relations entretenues par la Russie avec le monde extérieur au cours du XXe  siècle. Nous verrons que, paradoxalement, les phases de coopération ne coïncident pas toujours avec « les temps de guerre » de l’urgence humanitaire. Mais c’est justement l’intérêt de la Russie que d’avoir amené le CICR à dépasser le cadre initial de son mandat en faisant éclater le « classique dualisme » entre situation de guerre et situation de paix. Par le tumulte de son histoire, la Russie représente ainsi un extraordinaire laboratoire de l’action humanitaire, dans le sens d’un lieu où s’élaborent des pratiques et des normes, mais aussi des formes inédites de relations en situation de crise.
Le Comité « Assistance civique » à Moscou
Authors: Blais Agnès
Published: November 2020

Cet article analyse l’aide humanitaire que des citoyens apportent à d’autres en Russie post-soviétique, en faisant une histoire et une ethnographie inédite de l’association « Assistance civique ». Il retrace l’évolution de l’aide fournie par l’association dans ses dimensions matérielle et juridique depuis la chute du régime soviétique. Au fil des populations qui se réfugient à Moscou, un glissement s’est opéré. D’une aide humanitaire principalement domestique, octroyée aux réfugiés de l’ex-URSS puis aux réfugiés intérieurs dans les années 1990, l’association a élargi son aide dans les années 2000 aux étrangers venus de pays plus éloignés, l’aspect civique prenant le pas sur l’aide matérielle directe. Cette évolution d’une aide à dominante informelle vers une aide plus professionnalisée et judiciarisée peut s’expliquer par la collaboration qui s’instaure entre l’association russe et le HCR, mais aussi par la politique de l’État russe à l’égard des associations de la société civile, son refus de définir une politique d’accueil des migrants ou de véritable protection des réfugiés, et sa promotion d’une libéralisation des services.
Was the Left’s Thunder Stolen? Soviet Short Films on British Wartime Screens
Authors: Hicks Jeremy
Published: November 2020

Following the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the United Kingdom witnessed a dramatic surge in support of and interest in its new Soviet ally against the Nazis. The British government began to help the Soviets, but was widely perceived to be doing too little. The Ministry of Information attempted to counter this impression, showing the government’s support for Russia, while at the same time trying to ensure that this support remained under governmental control and did not fall into the hands of British Communists. While scholarship has devoted a great deal of attention to the diplomatic dimension of Anglo-Soviet wartime relations, there has been little written about issues of culture and propaganda, which played a crucial role; likewise studies of cinema in wartime Britain have paid scant attention to the British wartime reception of Soviet film. During the first years of the Anglo-Soviet alliance, however, short films in particular proved an especially important medium for the communication of the British government’s complex policy on Soviet Russia: it was attractive with audiences for its combination of immediacy with authenticity, but also attractive to governments as a reliable transmission belt for a carefully calibrated message. As such, analysis of shorts with specific analysis of the key films: Salute to the Soviet, 100 Million Women enables us to reassess the claim that the Ministry of Information really succeeded in stealing the thunder of the Left, and reconsider the effects this policy had on British society.
Olgierd Górka’s Polemics on the Contours of the Polish Nation (1933- 1955)
Authors: Bunout Estelle
Published: November 2020

Olgierd Górka was a historian specialized in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe who took actively part in the political debate concerning the place of minorities in Poland. He occupied different roles in the public sphere and appeared to have insistently tried to embody the voice of politically marginalised citizens of Poland. Olgierd Górka argued for a strong link between the Polish state and its citizens as a precondition for their mutual survival. His life exemplifies the discussion around the definition of the people, at the heart of the legitimation of modern nation-states in Central Europe during the 20th century. The debate initiated by Olgierd Górka helps to better understand how the modern Polish state, born from the ashes of three empires, defined Polish citizenship and how it evolved during the upheavals of the interwar and the post-war period.
Implementing a sectional scheme for early aerosol growth from new
particle formation in the Norwegian Earth System Model v2:
comparison to observations and climate impacts
Authors: Blichner Sara M. , Sporre Moa K. , Makkonen Risto , Berntsen Terje K.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Aerosol-cloud interactions contribute with a large portion of the spread in estimates of climate forcing, climate sensitivity and future projections. An important part of this uncertainty is how much new particle formation (NPF) contributes to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and furthermore, how this changes with changes in anthropogenic emissions. Incorporating NPF and early growth in Earth System Models (ESMs) is, however, challenging both due to uncertain parameters (e.g. participating vapours), structural challenges (numerical description of growth from ∼1 to ∼100 nm), and due to large scale of ESM grid compared to NPF scale.A common approach in ESMs is to represent the particle size distribution by a certain number of log-normal modes. Sectional schemes on the other hand, where the size distribution is represented by bins, are considered closer to first principles because they do not make an a priori assumption about the size distribution. In order to improve the representation of early growth, we have implemented a sectional scheme for the smallest particles (5–39.6 nm diameter) in the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM), feeding particles into the original aerosol scheme. This is, to our knowledge, the first time such an approach has been tried. We find that including the sectional scheme for early growth improves the aerosol number concentration in the model when comparing against observations, particularly in the 50–100 nm diameter range. Furthermore, we find that the model with the sectional scheme produces much less particles than the original scheme in polluted regions, while it produces more in remote regions and the free troposphere, indicating a potential impact on the estimated aerosol forcing. Finally, we analyse the effect on cloud-aerosol interactions and find that the effect of changes in NPF efficiency on clouds is highly heterogeneous in space. While in remote regions, more efficient NPF leads to higher cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC), in polluted regions the opposite is in fact the case.

Published: November 2020

Aim of study: Genetic diversity of pistachio, can be evaluated by using different descriptors, as adopted in international certification systems. Mainly the descriptors are morphological traits as leaf, which represents an important organ for its sensibility to growth conditions during the expansion phase. This study adopted a rapid and quantitative non-hierarchic clustering classification (k-means), to extract size classes basing on the contemporary combination of different morphological traits (i.e., leaf stalk length, terminal leaf length, terminal leaf width and terminal leaf ratio) of a varietal collection composed by 21 pistachio cultivars.Area of study: Worldwide.Material and methods: The unsupervised non-hierarchic clustering technique was adopted to the entire samples of pistachio leaves from k=2 to k=15 for both four morphological variables (i.e., leaf stalk length, terminal leaf length, terminal leaf width and terminal leaf ratio) and three morphological variables (i.e., terminal leaf length, terminal leaf width and terminal leaf ratio).Main results: A classification model only on the three morphological variables (for results of statistical analysis in which the groups resulted to be more separated and different for all the variables), with k= 5 (five groups), was constructed using a non-linear artificial neural network approach. The percentages of bad prediction in both training and testing resulted equal to 0%. The “terminal leaf length” returned the higher impact (44.89%).Research highlights: The contemporary combination of different morphological leaf traits, allowed to create an automatic classification of size classes of great importance for cultivar identification and comparison.
Performance Management System in Mozambican Universities: A Literature Review of Theories, Origin and Evolution
Authors: Caixote Carlos Bire , Mothusi Bashi , Molokwane Thekiso
Published: November 2020

From the end of the 1970s up to the 2000s, governments in the developed and developing countries were involved in implementing economic, social, political, cultural and legal reform programs. The first wave of public sector reforms came under the Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) which were implemented in most of the developing countries from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. The second wave, which started in the early 1990s, was propelled by influence generated by proponents of the New Public Management (NPM) school of thought. The major objective of reforms was to enhance performance and productivity in public sector organizations including higher education institutions. This practice was grounded on certain theories and models, mainly public-choice theory and goal-setting theory under the New Public Management (NPM) model. The Government of Mozambique has adopted a performance-based approach to implementing public sector reforms. This study, which employs a qualitative literature survey with secondary data as its primary research source, discusses and analyzes literature on the design and implementation of a Performance Management System (PMS) in the public sector including public universities of Mozambique. The study also discusses the origins and evolution of the theories which are linked to PMS and their applicability to the public universities of Mozambique as they started embracing PMS as a tool for improving performance of individuals and the organization as a whole.
Farmers’ Knowledge and Management of Rice Diseases in Uganda

Published: November 2020

Rice in the recent past has picked up as a food security and income generating crop among farming households in Uganda. Even though, the crop is playing a significant role in reducing food insecurity and poverty within the country, its productivity has remained constant and low at about 1.5 metric tonnes per hectare. Using cross-sectional data collected from rice farmers in Northern (Lira, Dokolo, Otuke and Alebtong Districts); Eastern (Iganga, Bugiri and Kamuli Districts) and Central (Kayunga District) regions of the country, this paper establishes farmers’ knowledge and management of rice diseases from a total of 224 farmers, as a baseline for research initiatives focusing on improving rice productivity within the country. Farmers ranked diseases as the second most important constraint in rice production, after insect pests. Moreover, farmers ranked rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) as the most important disease in rice production, followed by leaf blast (LB), brown spot (BS), sheath rot (ShR), panicle blast (PB) and bacterial leaf blight (BLB). However, 60% of farmers identified RYMV while less than 30% could clearly diagnose the symptoms of each of the other diseases. Surprisingly, only about 18% of farmers employed management options against RYMV, whereas less than 6% practiced some form of management for each of the other major diseases. The predominant disease control measure was uprooting diseased plants followed by insecticide application. About 10% of farmers reported sedges (Cyperus spp.), goat weed (Ageratum conyzoides), black jack (Bidens pilosa), and cut grass (Leersia spp.) as alternative host plants for rice diseases. An integrated disease management approach, whose development and implementation recognizes farmers as the key players in the rice production chain, is required to achieve improved and sustainable rice productivity.

Hoe het toezicht rekening kan houden met de context van een zorgaanbieder – Context matters

De context van een zorgaanbieder speelt een rol bij de afweging of de IGJ vertrouwen heeft in een zorgaanbieder. Afhankelijk van het vertrouwen kiest de inspectie voor een meer op leren gerichte, dan wel een meer disciplinerende interventie. In de praktijk is de uitdaging voor inspecteurs te expliciteren wat die context is en hoe die te wegen in het bepalen van de interventie om daarmee toezicht op maat te kunnen leveren. Dit onderzoek beantwoordt de vraag: ‘Wat zijn de belangrijkste contextfactoren die de kwaliteit van de zorg van een zorgaanbieder kunnen beïnvloeden?’. Het onderzoek had een kwalitatieve opzet en was een combinatie van conceptanalyse, literatuuronderzoek, interviews met experts, focusgroepdiscussies en toetsing van contextfactoren door inspecteurs en onderzoek van inspectierapporten. Het resultaat hiervan is het kader ‘Context van een zorgaanbieder’ met vier categorieën: Toezichtgeschiedenis, Organisatorische context, Bestuurlijke context en Maatschappelijke context.

Het kader ‘Context van een zorgaanbieder’ is geïntegreerd in het Afwegingskader Vertrouwen van de IGJ. Dit geeft de inspecteur handvatten om af te wegen of en hoe de context invloed heeft op het vertrouwen in de zorgaanbieder en een toezichtinterventie in te zetten die het beste bijdraagt aan het doel, namelijk het verbeteren van de kwaliteit van zorg.
Is datagedreven risicogebaseerd toezicht op termijn effectief?
Authors: van der Voort Haiko , Sedee Ivo , Booijink Tom , van der Vaart Elske
Published: November 2020

Is datagedreven risicogebaseerd toezicht op termijn effectief?

Welke effecten kunnen we op termijn verwachten als inspecteurs op basis van data risicogebaseerd gaan werken? We hebben een agentgebaseerd model ontwikkeld waarmee we verschillende scenario’s kunnen testen. Het model bevestigt het potentieel van datagedreven toezicht op de effectiviteit voor inspecties. Maar het waarschuwt ook voor bias, omdat met datagedreven toezicht alleen data van risicovolle bedrijven worden verkregen. Een beperkt aantal willekeurige inspecties kan de datakwaliteit al fors doen toenemen. Daarmee waarschuwen we voor te veel optimisme over de efficiëntie van datagedreven risicogebaseerd toezicht. Bovendien reiken we een model aan waarmee een optimum tussen datagedreven en willekeurige inspecties te bepalen is.

On Early and Late Modern English Non-native Suffix -oon
Authors: Wright Laura
Published: November 2020

This paper is about identifying a nuance of social meaning which, I demonstrate, was conveyed in the Early and Late Modern period by the suffix -oon. The history of non-native suffix -oon is presented by means of assembling non-native suffix -oon vocabulary in date order and sorting according to etymology. It turns out that standard non- native -oon words (which are few) tended to stabilise early and be of Romance etymology. A period of enregisterment, c. 1750–1850, is identified by means of scrutiny of non-native -oon usage in sixty novels, leading to the conclusion that four or more non-native -oons in a literary work signalled vulgarity. A link is made between the one-quarter non-European -oons brought to English via colonial trade, and the use of such -oons by non-noble merchants, traders and their customers splashing out on luxury foreign commodities. Thus, it is found that a suffix borrowed from Romance languages in the Middle English period received fresh input during the Early Modern period via non-European borrowings, resulting in sociolinguistic enregisterment in the Late Modern period.
Morphological Spelling
Authors: Rutkowska Hanna
Published: November 2020

This study aims at contributing to the discussion on the role of the early printers in the regularisation and standardisation of the English spelling. It assesses the degree of early printers’ (in)consistency concerning morphological spelling, in particular the spelling of third person singular present tense (indicative) inflectional endings of verbs in six editions of The book of good maners (1487–1526), printed by William Caxton, Richard Pynson and Wynkyn de Worde. The analysis suggests that early printers could have been interested in regularising spelling already before normative guidance from scholars became available in the form of grammars and spelling books, that is before the middle of the sixteenth century. However, the levels of the printers’ spelling consistency varied, depending on the particular printing house and edition.
Synergy between Wsp1 and Dip1 may initiate assembly of endocytic actin networks

Published: November 2020

The actin filament nucleator Arp2/3 complex is activated at cortical sites inSchizosaccharomyces pombeto assemble branched actin networks that drive endocytosis. Arp2/3 complex activators Wsp1 and Dip1 are required for proper actin assembly at endocytic sites, but how they coordinately control Arp2/3-mediated actin assembly is unknown. Alone, Dip1 activates Arp2/3 complex without preexisting actin filaments to nucleate ‘seed’ filaments that activate Wsp1-bound Arp2/3 complex, thereby initiating branched actin network assembly. In contrast, because Wsp1 requires preexisting filaments to activate, it has been assumed to function exclusively in propagating actin networks by stimulating branching from preexisting filaments. Here we show that Wsp1 is important not only for propagation but also for initiation of endocytic actin networks. Using single molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy we show that Wsp1 synergizes with Dip1 to co-activate Arp2/3 complex. Synergistic co-activation does not require preexisting actin filaments, explaining how Wsp1 contributes to actin network initiation in cells.
A motogenic GABAergic system of mononuclear phagocytes facilitates dissemination of coccidian parasites

Published: November 2020

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) serves diverse biological functions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including neurotransmission in vertebrates. Yet, the role of GABA in the immune system has remained elusive. Here, a comprehensive characterization of human and murine myeloid mononuclear phagocytes revealed the presence of a conserved and tightly regulated GABAergic machinery with expression of GABA metabolic enzymes and transporters, GABA-A receptors and regulators, and voltage-dependent calcium channels. Infection challenge with the common coccidian parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum activated GABAergic signaling in phagocytes. Using gene silencing and pharmacological modulators in vitro and in vivo in mice, we identify the functional determinants of GABAergic signaling in parasitized phagocytes and demonstrate a link to calcium responses and migratory activation. The findings reveal a regulatory role for a GABAergic signaling machinery in the host-pathogen interplay between phagocytes and invasive coccidian parasites. The co-option of GABA underlies colonization of the host by a Trojan horse mechanism.

Germanene, a 2D honeycomb germanium crystal, is grown at graphene/Ag(111) and hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN)/Ag(111) interfaces by segregating germanium atoms. A simple annealing process in N2 or H2/Ar at ambient pressure leads to the formation of germanene, indicating that an ultrahigh‐vacuum condition is not necessary. The grown germanene is stable in air and uniform over the entire area covered with a van der Waals (vdW) material. As an important finding, it is necessary to use a vdW material as a cap layer for the present germanene growth method since the use of an Al2O3 cap layer results in no germanene formation. The present study also proves that Raman spectroscopy in air is a powerful tool for characterizing germanene at the interfaces, which is concluded by multiple analyses including first‐principles density functional theory calculations. The direct growth of h‐BN‐capped germanene on Ag(111), which is demonstrated in the present study, is considered to be a promising technique for the fabrication of future germanene‐based electronic devices.

State‐of‐the‐art proton exchange membranes (PEMs) often suffer from significantly reduced conductivity under low relative humidity, hampering their efficient application in fuel cells. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with pre‐designable and well‐defined structures hold promise to cope with the above challenge. However, fabricating defect‐free, robust COF membranes proves an extremely difficult task due to the poor processability of COF materials. Herein, a bottom‐up approach is developed to synthesize intrinsic proton‐conducting COF (IPC‐COF) nanosheets (NUS‐9) in aqueous solutions via diffusion and solvent co‐mediated modulation, enabling a controlled nucleation and in‐plane‐dominated IPC‐COF growth. These nanosheets allow the facile fabrication of IPC‐COF membranes. IPC‐COF membranes with crystalline, rigid ion nanochannels exhibit a weakly humidity‐dependent conductivity over a wide range of humidity (30–98%), 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than that of benchmark PEMs, and a prominent fuel cell performance of 0.93 W cm−2 at 35% RH and 80 °C arising from superior water retention and Grotthuss mechanism‐dominated proton conduction.

Spatially localized microbubble cavitation by ultrasound offers an effective means of altering the permeability of natural barriers (i.e., blood vessels and cell membranes) in favor of nanomaterial accumulation in target sites. In this study, a clinically relevant, minimally invasive ultrasound guided therapeutic approach is investigated for the targeted delivery of anticancer microRNA loaded PLGA‐b‐PEG nanoparticles to spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasia in a canine model. Quantitative assessment of the delivered microRNAs reveals a prominent and consistent increase in microRNAs levels (1.5‐ to 2.3‐fold increase [p < 0.001]) in ultrasound treated tumor regions compared to untreated control regions. The immunohistology of ultrasound treated tumor tissue presents clear evidence for a higher amount of nanoparticle extravasation from the blood vessels. A distinct pattern of cytokine expression supporting a CD8+ T cells mediated “cold‐to‐hot” tumor transition is evident in all patients. This proposed platform can enhance delivery of microRNA‐loaded nanoparticles to deeply located visceral tumors in large animals to enhance chemotherapy.

Chemical devices are chemical products that transform a feed stream into an outlet stream with the desired attributes by performing reaction, fluid flow, heating, cooling, and/or separations. They resemble small chemical plants and can be described by device flowsheets, similar to the process flowsheets of chemical plants. This article proposes a generic design framework for chemical devices. It shares some steps with Douglas' hierarchical design procedure for chemical processes but has its own distinguishing features such as capturing of consumer preferences, formulation of an engineering statement, and the use of unconventional processing techniques in device manufacturing. Two examples, domestic dehumidifier and air purifier, are discussed to illustrate the design framework. A new dehumidifier design was found using this framework.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of plasma transfusion before urgent hemostasis initiation on in‐hospital mortality in hemodynamically unstable patients with severe trauma.

Methods

This retrospective observational study of patients admitted to hospital between January 2011 and January 2019 grouped patients according to whether plasma transfusion was initiated before (Before group) or after (After group) hemostasis initiation. Patients with severe trauma who were unable to wait for plasma transfusion and had started hemostasis before the plasma infusion were excluded. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine the effect of plasma transfusion before the initiation of urgent hemostasis on in‐hospital mortality.

Results

We included 47 and 73 patients in the Before and After groups, respectively. Blunt trauma was more common, and the D‐dimer levels and Injury Severity Score were significantly higher in the Before group than in the After group (median D‐dimer, 57.5 versus 38.1 μg/mL; P = 0.040; median Injury Severity Score, 50 versus 34; P < 0.001). Plasma given before hemostasis initiation was associated with significantly lower in‐hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.078–0.900; P = 0.033) in contrast with the total plasma volume given in the first 6 or 24 h.

Conclusion

Plasma transfusion before hemostasis initiation could be an important factor for improving outcomes in hemodynamically unstable patients with blunt trauma, high D‐dimer levels, or a high Injury Severity Score.

A Swan‐Ganz catheter during cardiac surgery offers peri‐operative haemodynamic monitoring, although insertion of these catheters is not without risk. We report a case of Swan‐Ganz catheter entrapment within the tricuspid valve during elective off‐pump coronary artery bypass surgery. The diagnosis was made immediately by transoesophageal echocardiography, thus preventing forced withdrawal of the catheter. Intra‐operatively, the echocardiographically detected findings of complex entrapment was confirmed. The Swan‐Ganz catheter was tightly wrapped around the subvalvular apparatus, requiring on‐pump open surgical removal. This case illustrates the anatomical complexity of such a catheter entrapment around the tricuspid valve apparatus and the importance of rapid echocardiographic diagnosis to prevent iatrogenic damage.

The polymer electrolytes based on poly(vinylidene‐co‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF‐co‐HFP) have been widely studied and applied in devices for its excellent electrochemical and mechanical properties. Here, porous PVDF‐co‐HFP membrane modified with glass fibers (GFs) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were fabricated by phase‐transfer method. When the dosage of GFs exceeded 1 wt%, the composite membranes exhibited 6.11 MPa tensile strength. When the dosage of GFs and PVP reached 1% (PVP1GF1), respectively, the composite membranes in porous network structure possessed the highest electrolyte uptake of 251.02%, the thermal stability of 343°C and the ionic conductivity of 3.05 × 10−3 S cm−1. Electrochromic device (ECD) was assembled with PVP1GF1 electrolyte, showing quick responses between the bleached and the color states within 3 s. The PVDF‐co‐HFP composite electrolyte was expected to be effective substitutes for liquid electrolytes used in ECDs.
A review on the self‐healing ability of epoxy polymers

Published: November 2020

This review encompasses the research progress on self‐healing properties of epoxy polymers and is divided into two categories: material supplement and energy supplement. The central concept of material supplement revolves around the addition of functional composite materials, such as, hollow fiber and microcapsule, to repair the micro‐cracks of epoxy polymers. In contrast, the energy supplement is based on the concurrent incorporation of some functional groups into the thermosetting epoxy polymers. These functional chemical groups participate in the construction of a three‐dimensional network structure of thermosetting materials and successfully enter the block copolymer of epoxy polymers. When the micro‐cracks are developed in the resin upon exterior impact, these functional groups automatically absorb energy from the outside to perform chemical reactions and automatically repair their micro‐cracks following the self‐healing phenomenon. Five kinds of reversible reactions are introduced for energy supply and are discussed in detail. Finally, a summary and comparison of the self‐healing methods covered in this review and the application prospect of self‐healing epoxy polymers are summarized.

Abstract: Expanding the use of biofuels is controversial because of concerns about competition with food. Here we describe how varying the biofuel demand could help address these concerns. Variable biofuel demand can be implemented through market or policy mechanisms that adjust biofuel production according to feedstock availability, expanding or contracting in response to supply surplus or limitations. Based on a survey, an expert workshop, and relevant literature, the effects of a variable biofuel demand approach are evaluated with respect to food security, agricultural productivity, detrimental land‐use change, and feedstock competition with biobased chemicals and materials. Here we provide evidence that variable biofuel demand can enhance the synergistic development of agriculture, renewable biomass feedstocks and biofuels, but implementation faces several challenges. Recommendations are provided for governance options to tackle these challenges. © 2020 The Authors.
