Authors: Tomasiak Edyta , Wychowański Michał , Kaczmarczyk Katarzyna , Gajewski Jan
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The aim of our study was to assess the influence of asymptomatic flatfoot on the kinetic parameters of the lower limb during gait. Methods: Individuals of both sexes were studied: 15 women [age 25 ± 5 years] and 19 men [age 25 ± 4 years] with bilateral asymptomatic flatfoot, as well as 16 women [age 26±4 years] and 14 men [age 24 ± 3 years] with normal feet on both sides. A threedimensional VICON motion analysis system coupled with KISTLER dynamometric platforms was used to perform kinetic gait analysis. Results: Women with flatfoot showed significantly lower maximal relative moments in the ankle in the sagittal plane (p < 0.05) and significantly lower maximal relative moments in the knee in the sagittal plane in the Terminal Stance (p < 0.001). In men, a significant difference was found in terms of hip rotation moment in the transverse plane in the Mid Stance (p < 0.01): men with normal feet showed moments of external rotation, while men with flatfoot generated internal rotational moments. Moreover, men with flatfoot showed significantly lower (p < 0.01) maximal relative moments in the knee in the transverse plane in the Mid Stance. Conclusions: Women with flatfoot have a weakened lower limb propulsion mechanism, whereas, in men with flatfoot, there is a change in the mechanics of the lower limb in the transverse plane. Our findings cast some doubt on flatfoot as a putative risk factor for stress injuries and degenerative changes in lower-limb structures, and suggest that gender differentiation should be taken into account in the analysis and therapy of flatfoot.

Role of titanium and organic precursors in molecular layer deposition of “titanicone” hybrid materials
Authors: Muriqi Arbresha , Nolan Michael
Published: November 2022

The development of hybrid inorganic–organic films with well-controlled properties is important for many applications. Molecular layer deposition (MLD) allows the deposition of these hybrid films using sequential, self-limiting reactions, similar to atomic layer deposition (ALD). In this paper, we use first principles density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the growth mechanism of titanium-containing hybrid organic–inorganic MLD films, known as “titanicones”. We investigate in detail the chemistry between the most common Ti precursors, namely titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium (Ti(DMA)4), and ethylene glycol (EG) and glycerol (GL) as the organic precursors. We analyse the impact of the substrate on the initial MLD reactions in titanicone film growth using three different surface models: anatase TiO2, rutile TiO2 and Al2O3. Calculated energetics show that while TiCl4 is reactive towards the anatase and rutile TiO2 surfaces, it is not reactive towards the Al2O3 surface. Ti(DMA)4 is reactive towards all surfaces. This is attributed to the stronger Ti–Cl bonds in TiCl4 compared to Ti–N bonds in Ti(DMA)4. Ti(DMA)4 also shows high reactivity to the organics compared to TiCl4. Double reactions of EG and GL with the TiCl3 species from TiCl4 and TiDMA species from Ti(DMA)4 are also explored to better understand the origin of the different thicknesses of EG–titanicone and GL–titanicone films observed in experimental work. We find that EG and GL coupled with TiCl4 can orient in a flat lying configuration on anatase while on rutile, the preferred orientation is upright. When combined with Ti(DMA)4, EG and GL prefer the flat lying configuration on all surfaces. This work shows that the choice of the surface and the metallic precursor has a major impact on the behaviour of organic species. DFT findings provide motivation to develop a low temperature rutile TiO2/titanicone film suggesting that the desired film growth could be achieved.

The Animal Gaze in Julio Cortázar´s “Axolotl”
Authors: Valerio-Holguín Fernando
Published: November 2022

In his essay “Why Look at Animals?,” John Berger states that in the first encounter between a human and an animal, the latter's eyes are attentive and wary. The animal looks at the human from the abyss of incomprehension. The human becomes aware of himself by looking back at the animal, who is the radical Other. If the abyss of otherness between humans can be bridged through language, this is impossible between the human and the animal. The gaze is the only possibility for the human to “descend” to the animal. Julio Cortázar wrote “Axolotl,” which tells the story of a man who, fascinated by the axolotls, goes to the Jardin des Plantes aquarium in Paris every day to observe them and ends up becoming one of them. Already in the first paragraph of the story, the character-narrator states: “Now I am an axolotl.” Then he adds: “His eyes above all obsessed me. Next to them in the other aquariums, various fish showed me the simple stupidity of their beautiful eyes like ours. The eyes of the axolotls told me of the presence of a different life, of another way of looking.” The narrator manages to transcend the barrier of “space and time” through the gaze and, finally, becomes an axolotl.

Modeling Neutron Star Matter in the Age of Multimessenger Astrophysics
Authors: Benhar Omar , Lovato Alessandro , Camelio Giovanni
Published: November 2022

The interpretation of available and forthcoming data obtained from multimessenger astrophysical observations—potentially providing unprecedented access to neutron star properties—will require the development of novel, accurate theoretical models of dense matter. Of great importance, in this context, will be the capability for devising a description of thermal effects applicable to the study of quantities other than the equation of state, such as the transport coefficients and the neutrino mean free path in the nuclear medium. A formalism based on correlated basis states and the cluster expansion technique has been previously employed to derive a well-behaved effective interaction—suitable for use in standard perturbation theory—from a state-of-the-art nuclear Hamiltonian, including phenomenological two- and three-nucleon potentials. Here, we provide a comprehensive and self-contained account of the extension of this approach to the treatment of finite-temperature effects, and report the results of numerical calculations of a number of properties of nuclear matter with arbitrary neutron excess and temperature up to 50 MeV.

Length–weight relations (LWR) were estimated for 14 endemic and indigenous fish species from the Aral Sea basin: Alburnoides holciki Coad et Bogutskaya, 2012; Capoetobrama kuschakewitschi (Kessler, 1872); Cottus spinulosus Kessler, 1872; Glyptosternon oschanini (Herzenstein, 1889); Gobio lepidolaemus Kessler, 1872; Gobio nigrescens (Keyserling, 1861); Iskandaria kuschakewitschi (Herzenstein, 1890); Iskandaria pardalis (Turdakov, 1941); Paracobitis longicauda (Kessler, 1872); Sabanejewia aralensis (Kessler, 1877); Schizothorax fedtschenkoi Kessler, 1872; Triplophysa daryoae Sheraliev, Kayumova et Peng, 2022; Triplophysa ferganaensis Sheraliev et Peng, 2021; and Triplophysa uranoscopus (Kessler, 1872). Measurements were taken for total length (0.1 cm precision) and total weight (0.1 g precision). The LWR parameters were determined using a linear logarithmic regression model of weight against length in which values for the slope of the regression, b, that are higher and lower than 3 indicate positive and negative allometric growth, respectively. The estimated values of parameter b ranged from 2.703 (Iskandaria kuschakewitschi) to 3.162 (Gobio nigrescens). The correlation coefficient (r2) values varied from 0.951 to 0.993, indicating a strong positive relation between length and weight. The maximum total lengths of four of the species (Glyptosternon oschanini, Iskandaria kuschakewitschi, Triplophysa daryoae, and Triplophysa uranoscopus) constitute new records, and the LWRs of twelve fish species have hitherto not been available in FishBase.

Background/Aims: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly-used medications, and ailments such as arthritis or heart disease, require long-term use of these drugs, which can induce gastroenteropathy with bleeding and ulcers. This study investigated the associations between efficacy, safety, and gastrointestinal symptoms linked to rebamipide and proton pump inhibitor administration in patients requiring long-term NSAID use.Methods: This study was a multi-center, randomized, open-labeled, pilot design.Results: Thirty-three patients were included. Of these, 15 were included in the study group and 18 were in the control group. NSAID-induced gastric ulcers, which were the primary outcome of this study, did not occur in either the study or control group. Changes in the number of small bowel erosions and ulcers were –0.6 ± 3.06 in the study group and 1.33 ± 4.71 in the control group. The number of subjects with mucosal breaks (defined as multiple erosions and/or ulcers) was three (20%) in the study group and six (40%) in the control group (p = 0.427). No serious adverse events occurred in either group. However, dyspepsia and skin rashes occurred in six patients (31.58%) in the study group and 13 (65%) in the control group (p = 0.036).Conclusions: Although statistically significant differences were not generated, possibly as a result of the small sample size, mucosal breaks observed via capsule endoscopy revealed that rebamipide was likely to be more effective than lansoprazole in preventing small intestine damage caused by NSAIDs. Furthermore, fewer side-effects emerged with rebamipide.

Background/Aims: The combination of capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM) is one of the treatment options for metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of CAPTEM in patients with metastatic intermediate to high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) or carcinoma (pNEC).Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in a single center. Patients were treated for intermediate to high-grade tumor with 750 mg/m² of capecitabine twice daily from day 1 to 14 and 200 mg/m² of temozolomide once daily from day 10 to 14, repeating twice in a cycle of 28 days. The primary outcomes were durations of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcomes consisted of objective response rate and disease control rate.Results: A total of 12 patients (grade 2 NET in six, grade 3 NET in three, NEC in three patients) who received CAPTEM were included in this study. Patients received a median of five cycles (range, 2 to 46) of CAPTEM. The median dose combined 1,150 mg of capecitabine and 300 mg of temozolomide. The median OS and PFS were 41.2 months (range, 3.2 to 167) and 39.7 months (range, 2.1 to 100), respectively. Patients with NET had longer OS and PFS compared to those of patients with NEC (p = 0.002 and p = 0.028). High Ki-67 proliferative index (> 50%) was significantly associated with poor survival outcomes.Conclusions: CAPTEM showed favorable survival outcomes in patients with metastatic intermediate to high-grade pNENs. Our study supports that CAPTEM may be an effective treatment option for metastatic pNENs.

Authors: Ramirez Andrea , Mathis Karen Jennings , Moore Amy M. , Tovar Alison
Published: November 2022

The current study evaluated changes in undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and self-efficacy in motivational interviewing. Fourth-year undergraduate nursing students completed a hybrid, online curriculum. Changes in knowledge and self-efficacy were assessed using a pretest/posttest design. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to determine differences between knowledge and self-efficacy mean scores. Of the 144 students who participated in the study, 88.2% were female, 96.5% were non-Hispanic/Latino, 88.9% were White, and mean age was 21.3 years. There were significant increases in knowledge and self-efficacy mean scores between pre-survey and post-survey 1 and 2. There were no differences between post-surveys 1 and 2 scores. A hybrid, online curriculum using asynchronous modules and synchronous simulation training can facilitate nursing students' learning experiences and enhance knowledge and self-efficacy about motivational interviewing.

Relationships Among Rumination, Resilience, Mindfulness, and Perceived PTSD Symptoms in Military Veterans Returning to College: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Reyes Andrew Thomas , Cross Chad L.
Published: November 2022

The influx of military Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) returning to college following active military service presents an unmanageable trend for many secondary educational institutions in the United States. The current study aimed to determine relationships among rumination, resilience, mindfulness, and perceived PTSD symptoms in college student Veterans. To this end, 133 college student military Veterans registered in a U.S. university responded to an online survey. Results revealed that rumination has a direct effect on perceived PTSD symptoms and mediates the relationship between mindfulness and perceived PTSD symptoms, and that resilience moderates the relationship between mindfulness and perceived PTSD symptoms through rumination as the mediator. These findings imply that designing and developing mindfulness-based interventions for college student Veterans with PTSD requires concerted efforts targeted at improving ruminative thinking and enhancing resilience.

Primitivoids of curves in Minkowski plane
Authors: Li Yanlin , Abdel-Salam A. A. , Saad M. Khalifa
Published: November 2022

In this work, we investigate the differential geometric characteristics of pedal and primitive curves in a Minkowski plane. A primitive is specified by the opposite structure for creating the pedal, and primitivoids are known as comparatives of the primitive of a plane curve. We inspect the relevance between primitivoids and pedals of plane curves that relate with symmetry properties. Furthermore, under the viewpoint of symmetry, we expand these notions to the frontal curves in the Minkowski plane. Then, we present the relationships and properties of the frontal curves in this category. Numerical examples are presented here in support of our main results.
“Should I Have Been Carried From the Womb to the Grave?” The Judicial Practice of Pecuniary Damages for Birth With Genetic or Teratological Harm in Hungary and Its Possible Impact on Medical Practice
Authors:   Faculty of Law, University of Pécs, Pécs, Hungary, Benke József
Published: November 2022

The medical content of the concept of fetal genetic or teratological harm, or of a disorder incompatible with postnatal life, which is a legal condition of the right of self-determination to terminate pregnancy granted until the 20th/24th week of pregnancy or without time limitation in Hungary, is changing as medical science and diagnostics evolve. Medical bodies, legislature, and judiciary – as well as families – need to reflect on this fundamental issue of society. The article draws lessons and makes recommendations based on the results obtained in the investigation of the practice of the Supreme Court (now: Kúria) and Regional High Courts of Appeal in cases decided between 2015 and 2021. The compensation for damage to parents was granted either to the full cost of raising the child born with an unrecognized genetic or teratological defect or, conversely, merely the additional costs causally related to the nature-based harm were awarded. This survey of the entire body of domestic case law reveals the scope of damages to be paid and the types of wrongful conduct in the diagnosis, information, screening, targeted testing, licensing, or determination of likelihood of disorder. Contrary to its national scope, the article sheds light on correlations useful for the international audience of wrongful birth cases regarding the presumed effect of high compensation amounts on the possible increase in the medical availability of abortion indications.
Public reception of young K-pop fans in Vietnam, 2011–19
Authors: Pham Becky
Published: November 2022

"Water buffalo youth," "mixed-race," and "out of control" are notable mainstream terms publicly used to refer to Korean popular music (hereafter "K-pop") fans in Vietnam. In a de-Westernization of fandom studies via a Vietnamese case study of the complicated relationship between nationalistic discourses and transcultural fandom, a cultural frame surrounding mainstream online news representations and public reception of young K-pop fans may be constructed, specifically the dominant shift in the mainstream narrative about Vietnamese K-pop fans between 2011 and 2019 in relation to politicized notions of shame and pride. These findings reveal and complicate various cultural, political, and ideological subjectivities of contemporary Vietnam that are similar to China's ambiguous reception of the Korean Wave. Studying a global and transcultural phenomenon like K-pop in different national contexts remains relevant and important.
Femslash fan fiction’s expansive erotic imaginary
Authors: Coccia Emily
Published: November 2022

As a genre largely unregulated by market trends and commercial interests, fan fiction can explore forms of bodily pleasure that might not otherwise be viewed as viable in mainstream pornography or romance. Fics from three significant but understudied femslash fandoms—Once Upon a Time (2011), Supergirl (2015), and The Devil Wears Prada (2006)—serve as case studies for analyzing the queer theoretical work fic writers do in interrogating dominant sexual scripts. These authors present an expansive queer erotic imaginary that untethers pleasure, desire, and intimacy from mainstream spaces and practices. In the fan works I examine, sexual connections are often routed through external objects like ink, fabric, and water. The canonical presence of magic, futuristic technology, and nonhuman characters also allows for the imagination of bodily morphologies and sexual practices untethered from both hetero- and homosexual norms, creating polymorphous pleasures that need not be tied to genital sexuality at all.

Demographic patterns from an epilepsy clinic in Sri Lanka
Authors: Gamage Ranjanie , Gooneratne Inuka Kishara
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Over half of the 50 million people with epilepsy worldwide are estimated to live in Asia. Although much research is done in Asia, information about the recognition of the burden created by the disease is scarce. Better understanding of the demographic distribution of epilepsy would improve our knowledge and understanding of this disorder at the population level. Method: A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted to determine demographic patterns in patients attending the epilepsy clinic at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka for one year. An interviewer based questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics. Results: Data was gathered from 500 patients. Male to female ratio was 1.08:0.92. Two hundred and twelve patients (42.4%) belonged to the 16 to 30 age group while 140 (28%) were from the 31 to 45 age group. Most of the patients in the aforesaid age groups (n=352) were unemployed (n=211, 59.94%) and only 89 (25.3%) were employed. Two hundred and sixty four patients (75%) were unmarried while 7 (1.9%) were divorced. The number of patients who received primary and secondary education were 44 (24.4%) and 93 (51.6%) respectively. Two (1.1%) patients went to university. Forty one (22.8%) had no schooling. The causes of epilepsy are: no identifiable cause 357 (71.4%), CNS infections 46 (9.2%), head trauma 25 (5%), peri-natal distress 32 (6.4%) stroke 22 (4.4%) and structural lesions 18 (3.6%). Conclusion: Many epilepsy patients have fewer educational, marital, and employment opportunities which contributes towards poor interpersonal skills, social withdrawal and low self esteem. CNS infections, though small in number in the above cohort remains an important cause of epilepsy. Early case detection and treatment of CNS infections may further lower the burden of epilepsy.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Efficacy of Vertebroplasty (VP) in acute vertebral crush fractures has been questioned. We support that VP is an effective treatment in selected patients. Method: Retrospective study of 47 (37 female) patients admitted to a private hospital between 2006 to 2011 with pain due to acute vertebral crush fractures and received VP were interviewed by phone following reviewing of notes. Results: Forty seven (65-90y) were of two distinct populations, younger group was 67 to 70y. Duration of pain was 9.5 days (range 2-21 days). Hospital length of stay (LOS) was 2-33 days. Total of 31 (66%), females 23, reported VP as satisfactory (good, very good, excellent). All had VP within 15 days of admission. Twenty two (71%) of 31 were independent prior to the back injury. Fifteen (48%) were over 85y (very elderly) and 15 (48%) were between 70 - 85y. Very elderly (5 males, 10 females) reported a favourable outcome and their LOS was 14-33 days. Twenty-two of the elderly (total 25) had LOS greater than 7 days and reported a favourable outcome. Two reported no effect. Younger patients (7) were independent in daily activities. Five reported the procedure as satisfactory and were discharged within two weeks. LOS increased with age. Majority (98%) received either rehabilitation (80%) or returned home (17%). Significant associations were noted in relation to younger age, post procedure pain perception, and premorbid independence with early discharge (CI 95%). Conclusion: VP is a safe and a useful treatment where conservative management has failed.
