Gioventù redenta e vecchiaia redentrice in Der Hagestolz di Adalbert Stifter
Authors: Ottavio Francesca
Published: June 2024

Con il racconto Der Hagestolz (Un uomo solo, 1845), Adalbert Stifter riflette sul ruolo della vecchiaia nel rapporto tra generazioni: da una parte, l’esistenza pacata dei personaggi anziani nasconde i rimpianti per le occasioni perdute, dall’altra, paure e sregolatezze dell’immaturità rischiano di condannare i più giovani a smarrirsi inesorabilmente negli stessi errori di chi li ha preceduti. L’incontro e lo scambio tra il malinconico e burbero scapolo che vive la sua vecchiaia confinato su un’isola e il nipote ribelle promuovono, dunque, la necessità di un dialogo salutare per l’intera società, chiamata a riconciliarsi con la storia e a conoscere il passato per non rimanere intrappolati nei suoi fallimenti. La struttura stessa dell’opera aiuta a ricomporre questa relazione, a partire da cadute e rotture fino alla soluzione pedagogica suggerita dall’autore. Seguendo la caratteristica concezione stifteriana, che vede nel microcosmo lo specchio di fenomeni più estesi, questo studio vuole considerare non solo fatti e personaggi menzionati nel racconto, ma proporre una contestualizzazione più ampia del messaggio di Stifter alla luce delle dinamiche storiche che attraversarono la periferia asburgica.

Bambusa balcooa along with rhizome bearing plants as intercrops - A potential agroforestry practice in Jhum land of Assam
Authors: Bora Indrani , Baruah Arundhati , Kaushik Pawan
Published: June 2024

A field experiment was carried out for three consecutive years (2009-2012) in Rongbonghat, Karbi Anglong District, Assam. Culm cutting of Bambusa balcona was planted in four different spacing trial (3x3, 3x4, 4x4 and 5x5m) intercropped with Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and Ginger (Zingiber officinale Ros.). Culm length and collar diameter of Bamboo in both solo plantation as well as intercropped with Turmeric and Ginger recorded significantly more in 5x5m spacing during third year of experimentation. Remarkable variations have been noticed in different spacing trials. Emergence of new shoot recorded more or less equal in both solo and mixed plantation. Productivity of crop observed maximum in 5x5m and 4x4m spacing of B. halcooa. Yield was found to be declined in subsequent year of cropping which is due to competition of nutrients between two growing crops. Productivity of Ginger observed relatively high compared to Turmeric during third year of experimentation. Comparatively less value of pH, organic carbon and NPK was noticed in soil under intercropping. The rate of mineralization of organic nitrogen may not compensate the nutrient requirement of fast growing Bamboo species resulted decrease value of available nitrogen under reduced spacing. Available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium content increase significantly in 5x5m spacing trial in both solo and intercropped plots. Uptake of nutrient by the growing crop and Bamboo play a vital role in this regard.
Introduction
Authors: Martinez Maximo G.
Published: June 2024

Introduced are the book themes and structure. The central theme and framework compliment the book’s argument that Garifuna establishing different groups facilitates them to maintain their subsistence, culture, and participation in New York City, as well as providing them the ability to address issues in their homeland. Similar to other Black immigrants (West Indians), Garifuna of different nationalities and cultures unify as a group residing in New York City. Other than in NYC Garifuna organize (cultural, social events) in their communities in various U.S. cities. Like African Americans, Black immigrants experience challenges in the city based on their race. Although at times some see themselves as different, Black immigrants’ shared experience of discrimination unites them with African Americans. A difference is concern with homeland issues such as Garifuna resisting, continued settling in Central America, opposing racial discrimination, land grabbing, and political repression.
Long short-term memory model for COVID-19 forecasting
Authors: Lou Pengfei
Published: June 2024

Every time new variants of COVID-19, back to the pandemic, could bring massive loss to human society and traditional models have failed to catch the complexities of COVID-19. Thus, to handle the unpredictable challenges posed by the dynamic nature of COVID-19, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models were utilized to make accurate short and long-term predictions about different variants and prepare the model for another variant or virus similar to COVID-19 by learning the data of different COVID-19 variants. The dataset, sourced from owid-covid-data, is cleaned and divided into original, alpha, delta, and mixed variants in the United States from March 1, 2020, to April 30, 2022. MSE, RMSE, MAE, and R2 are used to compare the difference between real and predicted values to evaluate how accurately the model performs. Results demonstrate the model excels in long-term and short-term predicting COVID-19 cases and deaths for various variants, and mixed variants even promote accuracy. Thus, the proposed LSTM model shows promise for infectious disease forecasting, providing a foundation for anticipating future outbreaks to help policymakers make better decisions or early prevention.
Research on a global periodic climate prediction method based on improved BP neural network
Authors: Lu Yan
Published: June 2024

Climate prediction has a wide social demand, but due to the complexity of climate system formation and the uniqueness of Chinas terrain, accurate prediction is extremely complex and difficult. Therefore, this article proposes a global periodic climate prediction method based on an improved BP neural network. Firstly, based on historical meteorological data, establish a climate model and summarize and analyze the characteristics of the patterns; Then, based on the BP neural network, considering the relationship between adjacent days, rolling sampling of historical data is carried out according to seasonal and meteorological factors in the sampling interval, establishing a multi-state transition probability matrix, and constructing an annual time series forecasting model; Finally, taking precipitation prediction as an example, an example was used to simulate the annual precipitation situation. The calculation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method, indicating that it can simulate climate conditions well and provide guidance for climate governance and engineering construction.
Identification of key genes and immune infiltration modulated in insomnia by integrated bioinformatics analysis and mendelian randomization study
Authors: Liang Jialu , Peng Xiandong
Published: June 2024

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder in modern times, often linked to various factors. Its occurrence, in turn, can lead to the development of several diseases, such as common cardiovascular conditions like coronary heart disease and hypertension. Moreover, insomnia can significantly impact the strength of the immune system. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classifies sleep deprivation as a form of sleepiness, attributing prolonged sleepiness to Yin-Yang imbalance, resulting in Qi consumption and impairment of the five Zang-organs. Both Qi consumption and damage to the five Zang-organs mentioned in TCM research are correlated with the immune system in medical studies. Consequently, current research indicates that sleep deprivation escalates the risk of immune-related diseases. However, more research and analysis concerning immune infiltration related explicitly to insomnia are needed. Through gene differential analysis of sample files obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE208668 , we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the Insomnia and control groups. After screening these DEGs, we conducted GO and KEGG pathway analyses to identify insomnia-related gene pathways. Subsequently, I identified ten hub genes (IL2, CALML3, GATA3, EOMES, PTGS2, ESCO2, CXCL2, GPT, CRT, PRF1), and using a logistic regression model, I predicted insomnia based on the expression patterns of these ten genes. The analysis revealed that CALML3 and IL2, which showed the best performance in ROC curve analysis and had the highest degree, respectively, were selected for further investigation. Continuing the research, we further employed CIBERSORT to study immune infiltration in patients with insomnia, discovering an association between mast cells and insomnia partially correlated with the identified hub genes. In conclusion, these essential genes and immune infiltrations are relevant for treating and alleviating insomnia. Understanding these genes and immune cells could offer crucial insights for future therapeutic approaches to insomnia.

Effects of UV/Cl2 and UV/PDS advanced oxidation on chemical characteristics of typical organic matter in reclaimed water
Authors: Tang Yi
Published: June 2024

In this research, humic acid was selected as a typical organic substance in reclaimed water, and the effects of higher oxidation of UV/Cl2 and UV/PDS on its chemical composition, including aromaticity, molecular weight and fluorescence characteristics were investigated. Results showed that under the same oxidation conditions, the UVA254 removal rate of UV/Cl2 was higher than that of UV/PDS, but with the increase of pH, the UVA254 removal rate of both decreased. Increasing the oxidant concentration could improve the UVA254 removal rate, but UVA254 would not continue to decrease after a certain concentration (Cl2 0.5mM, PDS 0.75mM). After oxidation, organics whose molecular weight >6520 Da significantly decreased, molecular weight 350-1690 Da significantly increased, with increasing UV dose, the molecular weight of 350-1690 Da decreased in UV/Cl2, but continued to increase in UV/PDS. The fluorescent regions of fulic acids under different treatments were effectively degraded after oxidation. The degradation efficiency of UV/Cl2 and UV/PDS reached 87.6% and 83.3% respectively with 0.75mM oxidant and 1500 mJ/cm2 UV light.

Published: June 2024

Psychological association with functional dyspepsia underscores the importance of a holistic approach to its management, addressing both physical and psychological aspects of the condition. Objective: To determine the relationship of anxiety and depression with severity of dyspepsia. Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was carried out in the Endoscopy Unit, Department of Gastroenterology, Baqai Medical Institute. All patients fulfilling the Rome III criteria for functional dyspepsia with normal endoscopy findings were included in the study, Pregnant females, patients with known diabetes, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease and known psychiatric illness, history of peptic ulcer disease and use of NSAIDs, steroids or alternative medicine were excluded. Severity of dyspepsia was assessed by Short Form Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (SF-LDQ). Whereas hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) was used to assess the psychological factors. Results: A total of 223 participants were included in the study. Out of 223 participants, majority 55.6% (124) had moderate dyspepsia, followed by severe dyspepsia 26.9% (60), mild dyspepsia 12.6% (28) and very mild dyspepsia 4.9% (11). Using Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale (HAD-S), we found that out of 223 participants, 56.5% (126) had moderate to severe anxiety and depression while 29.1% (65) had mild anxiety and depression. Conclusions: It was concluded that functional dyspepsia is clearly associated with common psychological disorders like depression and anxiety. Early recognition and timely linkage to care in such cases can considerably improve the health-related quality of life and hence decrease the global burden of this common disorder.
Major maxillary sinus augmentation techniques for dental implant: a systematic review
Authors: Coutinho Gabriela Corrêa Neves Gabioli , Scatena Adrieli Chiuchi , Altero Damiana dos Santos , Idalgo Fabio Alarcon , Nunes Alexandre Gomes , Cicareli Alvaro José
Published: June 2024

Introduction: In around 25% of all maxillary sinuses, there is an accessory bone that is located in a lower portion than the main ostium. When a dental element is lost in the posterior region of the maxilla, there is natural reabsorption of the alveolar process and at the same time, pneumatization of the maxillary sinus occurs. It will increase its volume towards the location where the roots existed and this will often make it difficult or unfeasible to restore implants in that location. Various surgical techniques can be used to reconstruct the atrophic alveolar ridge, techniques alone or associated with autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic grafts, and alloplastic biomaterials. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review to list the main clinical and surgical approaches to bone elevation techniques for dental implants. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from January to March 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 119 articles were found, 35 articles were evaluated in full and 23 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 15 studies with a high risk of bias and 21 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies did not show homogeneity in their results, with X2=71.6%>50%. It was concluded that the placement of the implant with the simultaneous use of PRP or PRF creates a good relationship between the hard tissue and the soft tissue. The Bio-Oss® biomaterial is one of the most used in guided bone regeneration procedures in regenerative dentistry, and its particles become an integral part of the newly formed bone structure and retain their volume in the long term. Furthermore, Bio-Oss® offers a lot of space for the formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis) and the deposit of neoformed bone, helping the growth of osteoblasts. Notable studies have shown results on the combined use of Bio-Oss® and PRF. Also, it is possible to develop a pre-operative planning method, associated with the area of implant dentistry, using digital images. Furthermore, the conventional surgical guide has some advantages such as being cheaper, simpler, and easier to perform, however, it leads to a greater operative risk for the patient. However, the accuracy of the location to be implanted is not the best and there is a greater probability of this guide becoming worn out, due to the contact of the drills with it.
Cultivating cultural humility through healthcare simulation-based education: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Gonzales-Walters Francine , Weldon Sharon , Essex Ryan
Published: June 2024

Background

Healthcare disparities within developed nations remain a critical concern, with ethnic minorities and marginalized groups experiencing pronounced inequalities. Cultural humility has emerged as a means to mitigate these disparities and enhance healthcare delivery. Simulation-based education is one of the most widely utilized pedagogical approaches in healthcare curricula across disciplines and specialities. It is recommended in the literature as an ideal strategy for teaching cultural humility to healthcare professionals. However, it is not clear what is known about integrating cultural humility into simulation-based education. This scoping review protocol provides the procedures we will take to explore the breadth of literature to explore how cultural humility is considered and incorporated in simulation-based and to identify current practices and knowledge gaps.

Methods and analysis

The review will synthesize data following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines for scoping reviews. A comprehensive database (MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, APA PsycINFO and Scopus), grey literature and reference screening will be conducted to identify eligible literature to answer the research question. The quality of the included literature and the risk of bias will be carried out using The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) for primary research papers and the ACCODS (Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, Significance) checklist will be used to assess the quality of grey literature. The data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and basic qualitative content analysis.

Authors: Eto Hinano , Yamazaki Atsushi , Tomo Yuma , Tanegashima Koji , Edamura Kazuya
Published: June 2024

Background:
Canine Legg Calvé Perthes disease (LCPD) occurs during the growth period, and the cause of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head during growth remains unclear. If LCPD-affected femoral head-derived mesenchymal stem cells (LCPD-MSCs) can be generated, they can be used as a new tool for the pathophysiological analysis of canine LCPD.
Aim:
To generate affected femoral head-derived MSCs from dogs with LCPD and investigate the mRNA expression levels of angiogenesis-related factors and osteogenic differentiation potency of LCPD-MSCs.
Methods:
This study was performed using affected femoral heads from dogs diagnosed with LCPD and underwent femoral head and neck ostectomy. The necrotic tissue was harvested from the LCPD-affected femoral head and cultured statically (LCPD group, n=6). Canine bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) were used as controls (control group, n=6). First, the morphology of the cultured cells was observed, and the expression of CD29, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD90, and major histocompatibility complex class II was analyzed using flow cytometry. Additionally, the trilineage differentiation potency of the LCPD-affected head-derived adherent cells was examined. Furthermore, the expression levels of HIF1A, VEGFA, VEGFB, and PDGFB mRNAs and the bone differentiation potency of LCPD-affected head-derived adherent cells were investigated.
Results:
LCPD-affected femoral head-derived adherent cells showed a fibroblast-like morphology, and the expression of cell surface antigens was similar to that of BM-MSCs. In addition, LCPD-affected femoral head-derived adherent cells showed the same trilineage differentiation potency as BM-MSCs and were consistent with MSC characteristics. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of angiogenesis-related factors could be objectively measured in LCPD-MSCs and those MSCs had bone differentiation potency.
Conclusion:
In the present study, canine LCPD-MSCs were successfully generated, suggesting their usefulness as a tool for pathological analysis of LCPD in dogs.

Authors: Keawchana Narissara , Rakwong Pirayu , Yongsakulchai Pratthana
Published: June 2024

Background:
Pseudothrombocytopenia is a commonly obtained false negative result when analyzing feline platelet count by automated machine. It is related to ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), a widely utilized anticoagulant in blood collection tube, resulting in EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP).
Aim:
To investigate whether treated with kanamycin enhanced the quantity of platelet aggregations in feline blood specimens collected using EDTA-PTCP.
Methods:
Thirty-one blood samples were obtained using EDTA tubes. The complete blood count was analyzed using automated Mindray-BC-5000Vet. Both Manual cell counts and thin blood smears were performed to estimate the amount of RBC, WBC and platelets as well as to evaluate the severity scores of platelet clumping, respectively. Comparisons were made between those pre-treated and treated with kanamycin in EDTA tube.
Results:
There were significantly different mean platelet counts in the samples before and after they were treated with kanamycin, both on automated (156.6  76.4 vs 260.3  115.5; p < 0.001) and manual (168.5  92.1 vs 262.8  119.6; p < 0.001) readings, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.19 (0.022–0.365).
Conclusion:
This study suggests that in clinical laboratory practice, kanamycin should be added to feline blood specimens with EDTA-PTCP.

Published: June 2024

Relevance. Hermeneutics in the modern sense arose in the 20th century, and since then an active period of its development has passed. The hermeneutics methods are very important for the development of human knowledge, therefore, the consideration of these methods and their application in practice is a current problem in the modern world.Purpose. The purpose of this article is to analyse the philosophical ideas of H.-G. Gadamer and E. Hirsch and defining their views on the problem of intention and truth.Methodology. In this article, a number of methods of the theoretical block were used: information analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalisation and concretisation.Results. As a result of the philosophical ideas analysis of the representatives of hermeneutics, an analysis and comparison of their ideas were made. The most important aspects of the comparison were views on history, the language role in text understanding, and the meaning of the author�s intention. Thus, in the course of the analysis of these key aspects, the points of view of philosophers regarding the problem of intention and truth were considered. The views of H.-G. Gadamer and E. Hirsch with the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle were compared, during which it was possible to expand the knowledge horizon of modern hermeneutics� ideas. The most important conclusion that was made as a result of the study was that it is impossible to say which of the hermeneutics methods is better, because the authors thought in different categories and each of them is right in their own way.Conclusions. This study can be used in further scientific works, because the ideas and methods of modern hermeneutics founders were deeply considered. Also in this article, a number of hypotheses were suggested, which can be studied in more detail in the future.

Relevance. The issue of Ukrainian submarine navigation has received undeservedly little attention in the modern research literature. Despite the objective importance and the fundamentally innovative potential of this topic, little constructive investigation has been carried out so far in this area.Purpose. This paper aims to conduct a detailed prosographic analysis of the Odesa branch of the Ukrainian School of Submarine Navigation, which operated between 1877 and 1905. The study focuses on understanding the internal dynamics and the broader impact of this branch on national and international submarine navigation practices.Methodology. The study employed the methods of comparative analysis, hindsight, induction, and deduction, using both online and archival sources to cover as much information on the topic as possible. Cliometric studies were also conducted.Results. The presented study provides a prosographic analysis of the Odesa branch of the Ukrainian School of Submarine Navigation, which operated from 1877 to 1905. The branch�s basic structure has been defined. Various types of connections have been identified. The influence of the representatives of the Odesa branch on the representatives of other branches and national schools of submarine navigation that functioned in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century is illustrated.Conclusions. The findings will provide a solid basis for further scientific efforts in this area and for making strategic decisions to protect Ukraine's maritime interests. This investigation can also be used as a source of educational literature for historical and educational materials.

Relevance. The protection of children�s rights remains a critical concern globally, acknowledging the enduring vulnerability of this demographic. The creation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child signifies a pivotal step in addressing this issue, establishing binding international standards for safeguarding children�s rights.Purpose. This article aims to examine the current status of children�s rights protection internationally and in the Republic of Kazakhstan, comparing them to identify areas of concern.Methodology. The study employs historical, comparative, and legal analysis methods, along with synthesis, to comprehensively explore the topic.Results. The study delves into the Declarations of the Rights of the Child and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, exploring international mechanisms and state responsibilities in ensuring children�s rights. It underscores that prioritizing children�s rights is essential at both national and international levels. Additionally, it suggests that measures such as removing children from dysfunctional families require careful consideration, as they can have long-lasting psychological implications. The involvement of children in decision-making processes concerning their rights is advocated, alongside their participation in governance structures. Legislative frameworks must not only recognize children's rights but also provide avenues for enforcement and redress against violations.Conclusions. The article highlights global challenges and violations of children�s rights, emphasizing the need for ongoing efforts to promote and protect these rights. It underscores the imperative of enhancing mechanisms for children�s rights protection both internationally and nationally, in alignment with evolving global trends.
Diagnosis and management of severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in critically ill patients: A mini review for clinicians
Authors: Tan Dominic Ti Ming , See Kay Choong
Published: June 2024

Among critically ill patients, severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis has high morbidity and mortality. Yet, it is a diagnostic challenge given its nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs in early stages of the disease. In addition, management of severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is complicated given the high risk of drug-drug interactions, drug-disease interactions, and adverse drug reactions. To help clinicians acquire an up-to-date approach to severe tuberculosis, this paper will provide a narrative review of contemporary diagnosis and management of severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in critically ill patients.
Extracorporeal organ support for critically ill patients: Overcoming the past, achieving the maximum at present, and redefining the future

Extracorporeal organ support (ECOS) has made remarkable progress over the last few years. Renal replacement therapy, introduced a few decades ago, was the first available application of ECOS. The subsequent evolution of ECOS enabled the enhanced support to many other organs, including the heart [veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), slow continuous ultrafiltration], the lungs (veno-venous ECMO, extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal), and the liver (blood purification techniques for the detoxification of liver toxins). Moreover, additional indications of these methods, including the suppression of excessive inflammatory response occurring in severe disorders such as sepsis, coronavirus disease 2019, pancreatitis, and trauma (blood purification techniques for the removal of exotoxins, endotoxins, or cytokines), have arisen. Multiple organ support therapy is crucial since a vast majority of critically ill patients present not with a single but with multiple organ failure (MOF), whereas, traditional therapeutic approaches (mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure, antibiotics for sepsis, and inotropes for cardiac dysfunction) have reached the maximum efficacy and cannot be improved further. However, several issues remain to be clarified, such as the complexity and cost of ECOS systems, standardization of indications, therapeutic protocols and initiation time, choice of the patients who will benefit most from these interventions, while evidence from randomized controlled trials supporting their use is still limited. Nevertheless, these methods are currently a part of routine clinical practice in intensive care units. This editorial presents the past, present, and future considerations, as well as perspectives regarding these therapies. Our better understanding of these methods, the pathophysiology of MOF, the crosstalk between native organs resulting in MOF, and the crosstalk between native organs and artificial organ support systems when applied sequentially or simultaneously, will lead to the multiplication of their effects and the minimization of complications arising from their use.
Serotonin syndrome controversies: A need for consensus
Authors: Prakash Sanjay , Shah Chetsi S , Prakash Anurag
Published: June 2024

Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a drug-induced clinical syndrome resulting from increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. Although more than seven decades have passed since the first description of SS, it is still an enigma in terms of terminology, clinical features, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic measures. The majority of SS cases have previously been reported by toxicology or psychiatry centers, particularly in people with mental illness. However, serotonergic medications are used for a variety of conditions other than mental illness. Serotonergic properties have been discovered in several new drugs, including over-the-counter medications. These days, cases are reported in non-toxicology centers, such as perioperative settings, neurology clinics, cardiology settings, gynecology settings, and pediatric clinics. Overdoses or poisonings of serotonergic agents constituted the majority of the cases observed in toxicology or psychiatry centers. Overdose or poisoning of serotonergic drugs is uncommon in other clinical settings. Patients may develop SS at therapeutic dosages. Moreover, these patients may continue to use serotonergic medications even if they develop mild to moderate SS due to several reasons. Thus, the clinical presentation (onset, severity, and clinical features) in such instances may not exactly match what toxicologists or psychiatrists observe in their respective settings. They produce considerable diversity in many aspects of SS. However, other experts discount these new developments in SS. Since SS is a potentially lethal illness, consensus is required on several concerns related to SS.
