The aim of this article is to elaborate on the nouns listed in the title based on selected vernacular records, which in a certain phrase, but also by themselves, express the meanings making troubles/difficulties and seeking excuses/evasions . First of all, Transylvanian Saxon and High German respectively the German colloquial language have these lexemes in common, as well as vernacular words that do not belong to this linguistic level. Furthermore, it should be clarified that these vernacular words are attested in different sound variants from case to case in the Rhenish, in the Palatine and in the Bavarian-Austrian vernaculars, in the same or similar meanings in corresponding vernacular dictionaries. Transylvanian Saxon proper vocabulary is represented by a borrowing from Latin and two borrowings from Romanian. The dialect documents presented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, its archive, the North Transylvanian Dictionary as well as from dialect and specialist literature. The etymological explanations respectively the etymological considerations of the analyzed lexemes have been prepared mainly based on relevant specialist dictionaries.
Bildungssprache Deutsch an deutschen Auslandsund DSD – Schulen (in Regionen mit autochthonen deutschen Minderheiten)
Authors: Tichy Ellen
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the educational language German at German schools abroad and DSD schools in Romania. Schools in regions with autochthonous German minorities are given special consideration, as these contribute to the preservation of the minority‘s cultural identity. Existing empirical studies on language use and language retention at DSD schools are discussed and it is proposed that analyzes should not only be devoted to the norm-orientation in the language use of pupils, but to interactive processes in subject teaching.
Virtual Reality in Online Instruction
Authors: Devagiri Vishnu Manasa , Bejdevi Åsa , Nygren Åse
Published: March 2024

Online instruction has become increasingly common as an alternative to face-to-face instruction (Bishop et al., 2013; Maertens et al., 2016). One benefit with online instruction is that it is more easily accessible for students who are not able to fully access the more traditional face-to-face instruction on campus. After the COVID pandemic, online instruction has gained further ground (Zhu, X., & Liu, J. 2020; Kerres & Buchner, 2022; Li, 2022). At the same time, we have seen a rapid increase in new educational technologies, including that of virtual reality (Ding, 2022; Al-Ansi, 2023; Zhang, 2022). Studies show that virtual reality can make the learning process more engaging and interactive (Jackson & Fagan, 2000; Ardiny, 2018; Roopa et al, 2021) and that it can increase reception levels and train collaborative skills (Isik-Ercan, 2010; Petersen et al, 2023). This paper raises the question of how the use of VR in online instruction affects learning experiences. While the participants in this study display a genuine enthusiasm for using VR in an online setting, results display a lack of knowledge in how to use VR to improve student learning. One area of investigation is concentration. Here, results are inconclusive as 50 % of the participants in G1 are unsure of whether VR improves concentration and 50 % of the participants in G2 claim that the use of VR improves their concentration level. Another area of investigation is understanding the topic. Here, the participants from G1 gave higher ratings than those who performed the experiment in G2, which implies that the impact was not as high as expected. In fact, the participants in G2 found that the VR equipment shifted focus from learning to other details in the visual medium. Another area is interactivity. Here, results indicate that VR technology has the didactic potential of engaging students and making them more interactive in the learning situation. The study concludes that while VR technology has the possibility of enhancing learning, a necessary prerequisite is that both students and teachers have skills and knowledge of how to use VR technology in a pedagogical setting along with few technical modifications to the device itself.

Det tre-åriga utbildningsprogrammet för sjuksköterskor vid institutionen för vårdvetenskap, Malmö universitet leder till ett legitimationsyrke. Förutsättningarna som lärare har att förhålla sig till kan å ena sidan innehålla ett ökat krav på studentgenomströmning, uppfylla EU direktiv för verksamhetsförlagd utbildning med minskad tid för teori till följd, studenters olika lärstilar samt ekonomiska begränsningar. Å andra sidan finns studenter med individuella behov och resurser men med en dröm och ett driv att utbilda sig, lärare med kompetens och pedagogisk vilja. Vilken vågskål väger tyngst? Går det att få balans? Hur kan jag i min funktion som adjunkt på sjuksköterskeutbildningen använda mitt mandat med de förutsättningar som jag har på bästa sätt?

Data-Driven Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Model Identification of Nonlinear Aeroelastic Systems
Authors: McGurk Michael , Lye Adolphus , Renson Ludovic , Yuan Jie
Published: March 2024

The objective of this work is to propose a data-driven Bayesian inference framework to efficiently identify parameters and select models of nonlinear aeroelastic systems. The framework consists of the use of Bayesian theory together with advanced kriging surrogate models to effectively represent the limit cycle oscillation response of nonlinear aeroelastic systems. Three types of sampling methods, namely, Markov chain Monte Carlo, transitional Markov chain Monte Carlo, and the sequential Monte Carlo sampler, are implemented into Bayesian model updating. The framework has been demonstrated using a nonlinear wing flutter test rig. It is modeled by a two-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic system and solved by the harmonic balance methods. The experimental data of the flutter wing is obtained using control-based continuation techniques. The proposed methodology provided up to a 20% improvement in accuracy compared to conventional deterministic methods and significantly increased computational efficiency in the updating and uncertainty quantification processes. Transitional Markov chain Monte Carlo was identified as the optimal choice of sampling method for stochastic model identification. In selecting alternative nonlinear models, multimodal solutions were identified that provided a closer representation of the physical behavior of the complex aeroelastic system than a single solution.

Objetivo: Apresentar o manejo e como evitar a reincidência de hérnias abdominais e inguinais. Revisão bibliográfica: As hérnias abdominais são protusões de vísceras ou órgãos que ocorrem em pontos enfraquecidos da aponeurose, sendo caracterizadas como transitórias ou permanentes, adquiridas ou congênitas. Já as hérnias inguinais são causadas por um enfraquecimento do conduto peritoneovaginal ou do triângulo de Hasselbach. Para ambas, existem etiologias multifatoriais e estas podem recidivar a depender das características do paciente e do tratamento realizado. Geralmente, as hérnias abdominais apresentam mais recidiva do que as hérnias inguinais, principalmente nos casos em que se utiliza o próprio tecido do paciente para recompor a parede fragilizada. A complicação mais frequente é a dor crônica no pós-operatório, que pode levar à limitação funcional e impacta diretamente no bem-estar do paciente. O tratamento da hérnia recidivada é cirúrgico, observando-se a técnica cirúrgica adequada e o uso de tela sintética de polipropileno tanto na cirurgia aberta quanto na cirurgia videolaparoscópica. Considerações finais: A prevenção é de suma importância e deve ser realizada em todos os casos. Assim, cuidados pré, intra e pós-operatórios buscam minimizar os riscos de complicações e de recidivas, possibilitando maior qualidade de vida aos pacientes.

Ti-Catalyzed 1,2-Diamination of Alkynes using 1,1-Disubstituted Hydrazines
Authors: Karmakar Partha Sarathi , Tonks Ian
Published: March 2024

Ti-catalyzed alkyne diamination and Ti- catalyzed alkyne hydrohydrazination proceed through a common N-aminoazatitanacyclobutene intermediate. Previously, these reactions have existed as processes catalyzed by distinct catalysts, where there are many reports (and catalysts) for hydrohydrazination, and only a single example (and catalyst) for diamination. Here, we demonstrate that a diamidoamine Ti catalyst, (NNN)Ti(=NNR2) (1, (NNN)H2 = N-methyl-N',N"-bis(trimethylsilyl)diethylenetriamine; R = alkyl, aryl), is capable of catalyzing both diamination and hydrohydrazination, where the selectivity is dictated by simple changes to the reaction conditions, capitalizing on Ph the fact that there are entropic differences at the selectivity branch point between diamination (unimolecular) and hydrohydrazination (bimolecular). This discovery leads to an expanded substrate scope for alkyne diamination, and an understanding of how structure-activity relationships can impact the relative rates (selectivity) of diamination and hydrohydrazination. More broadly, these results suggest that this strategy may be more generally applied to Ti hydrohydrazination catalysts to uncover new catalysts capable of alkyne diamination with 1,1-disubstituted hydrazines.
The competing reaction mechanisms of peptide bond formation in water revealed by deep potential molecular dynamics and path sampling
Authors: David Rolf , Tuñón Iñaki , Laage Damien
Published: March 2024

The formation of an amide bond is an essential step in the synthesis of materials and drugs, and in the assembly of amino-acids to form peptides. The mechanism of this reaction has been studied extensively, in particular to understand how it can be catalyzed, but a representation capable of explaining all the experimental data is still lacking. Numerical simulation should provide the necessary molecular description, but the solvent involvement poses a number of challenges. Here, we combine the efficiency and accuracy of neural network potential-based reactive molecular dynamics with the extensive and unbiased exploration of reaction pathways provided by transition path sampling. Using microsecond-scale simulations at the density functional theory level, we show that this method reveals the presence of two competing distinct mechanisms for peptide bond formation between alanine esters in aqueous solution. We describe how both reaction pathways, via a general base catalysis mechanism and via direct cleavage of the tetrahedral intermediate respectively, change with pH. This result contrasts with the conventional mechanism involving a single pathway in which only the barrier heights are affected by pH. We show that this new proposal involving two competing mechanisms is consistent with the experimental data, and we discuss the implications for peptide bond formation under prebiotic conditions and in the ribosome. Our work shows that integrating deep potential molecular dynamics with path sampling provides a powerful approach for exploring complex chemical mechanisms.
Towards photoelectrochromic modulation of NIR absorption in plasmonic ITO using pentacene films

Published: March 2024

As a prototypical organic semiconductor material, pentacene is investigated in numerous electronic and optical systems for its high charge carrier mobility and attractive photophysical properties. However charge generation, transfer and collection remain a critical challenge, especially when considering hybrid structures with inorganic metal oxides as charge acceptors. Herein, pentacene molecular layers are associated with plasmonic electrochromic indium tin oxide (ITO) nanostructures so to allow them to electronically modulate their near-infrared (NIR) absorption in absence of external electric power. Multi-modal surface characterizations show that pentacene molecules transition from a perpendicular orientation when deposited on bare surfaces to more random organization, involving standing-up and face-on orientations, when deposited on ITO. Optoelectronic properties of the interfaced materials are consequently impacted, with steady-state and ultrafast transient spectroscopies further highlighting how electrons are photo-generated in pentacene and consecutively transferred into ITO, ultimately tuning its NIR optical response. Such ITO – pentacene bilayers are therefore holding promise as novel heterojunction-like photoelectrochromic structures, paving the way for the innovative design of self-powered smart windows.

We explore how the star formation rate (SFR), stellar mass, and other properties of massive dusty galaxies at cosmic noon are impacted when far-infrared (FIR)/sub-millimeter data are added to datasets containing only ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) data. For a sample of 92 massive (stellar mass > 4 × 10^10 MSun) dusty galaxies at z ∼ 1.5 to 3.0 (corresponding to ∼25% of cosmic history), we fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) based on DECam UV-to-optical data, VICS82, NEWFIRM, and Spitzer-IRAC NIR data, and Herschel-SPIRE FIR/sub-millimeter data using the Bayesian Analysis of Galaxies for Physical Inference and Parameter Estimation (BAGPIPES) SED-fitting code. We assume a delayed tau star formation history with a log10 prior on tau and derive the posterior distributions of stellar mass, SFR, extinction, and specific SFR. We find that adding FIR/sub-millimeter data leads to SFR estimates that can be both significantly higher or lower (typically by up to a factor of 10) than estimates based on UV-to-NIR data alone, depending on the type of galaxies involved. We find that the changes in SFR scale with changes in extinction. These results highlight the importance of including FIR/sub-millimeter data in order to accurately derive the SFRs of massive dusty galaxies at z ∼ 2.
Unveiling Uranus: A Difference in Dark Spots Compared to Neptune
Authors:   Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, Mapaye Russell , Wong Michael H. ,   SETI Institute, Mountain View, California, USA
Published: March 2024

We searched for discrete dark features on Uranus at wavelengths near 467 nm and 547 nm, using Hubble Space Telescope data spanning 2014–2022 from the OPAL program (Simon et al. 2015). We unveil subtle cloud features by subtracting a rotationally-averaged mean image from each individual exposure to remove limb-darkening effects. In these wavelength bands, we can rule out the presence of any dark spots with contrasts darker than 1.4% at 467 nm and 1.2% at 547 nm. Dark spots with contrast similar to those seen before on Neptune (Wong et al. 2022) and Uranus (Hammel et al. 2009) would easily have been detected using our approach. Overall, our results suggest that the occurrence rate of dark spots on Uranus is less than one per 11 years, or at least 2—3 times less frequent than on Neptune (Hsu et al. 2019).
The Impact Of Perioperative Oxygen Regimens On Recovery After Major Surgery
Authors:   , Frei Dan
Published: March 2024

Background. Over 300 million people undergo major surgery under anaesthesia globally every year. Despite oxygen being an almost universally administered therapy, definitive evidence is lacking about the optimal perioperative oxygen regimen. As a result, international recommendations are conflicting. While a liberal perioperative oxygen regimen may reduce the risk of surgical site infection (SSI), there is observational evidence from other areas of medicine that liberal oxygen therapy may be harmful, resulting in an increased risk of organ injury, disability and death.

Main study findings We undertook a narrative review of the literature appraising the evidence for different perioperative oxygen regimens at the time of inception of this thesis work. We recommend titrated oxygen administration that achieves safe arterial oxygen saturations as measured by a pulse oximeter.

A survey of a sample of specialist anaesthetists was undertaken investigating beliefs about perioperative oxygen regimens. 58% of respondents indicated they titrate inspired oxygen to a safe level; 5% aimed to maximise oxygen administration. 0.7% believed that routine peri-operative administration of FiO2 ≥0.8 oxygen reduces SSI.

We undertook a prospective study to quantify standard care oxygen therapy administered by anaesthetists from 10 metropolitan hospitals. The median (IQR) intraoperative mean FiO2 was 0.47 (0.40–0.55). 2% administered intraoperative oxygen liberally.

We conducted a retrospective study using routinely collected healthcare data to determine associations between intraoperative oxygen exposure and postoperative recovery. Amongst the 15,449 patients included in the analyses, there was no association between FiO2 and days alive and out of hospital at 90 days (DAOH90). Low FiO2 was associated with increased SSI: Increasing FiO2 was associated with respiratory complications and incidence of being admitted to an intensive care unit.

A vanguard, multi-centre, patient- and assessor-blinded, parallel group, randomised feasibility trial was conducted to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial designed to investigate the effect of a restricted, standard care, or liberal peri-operative oxygen therapy regimen on recovery after surgery..We demonstrated effective treatment separation and protocol compliance. All feasibility endpoints were met.

Conclusions. There is insufficient evidence to inform practice with regard to perioperative oxygen therapies. A definitive prospective randomised trial designed informed by the findings of this work is both urgently needed to address the uncertainty, and is feasible to conduct without the need for major modifications to the trial protocol used in study five.
Construction of A Prediction Model for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure
Authors: Liu Kaizheng , Liu Chengjie
Published: March 2024

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common myocardial disease characterized by enlargement of the heart cavity and decreased systolic function, often leading to heart failure (HF) and arrhythmia. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is closely related to the progression and prognosis of the disease. In recent years, with the advancement of medical imaging and biomarkers, models for predicting the occurrence of AF in DCM patients have gradually become a research hotspot. This article aims to review the current situation of AF in DCM patients and explore the importance and possible methods of constructing predictive models to provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment. We comprehensively analyzed the risk factors for AF in DCM patients from epidemiological data, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical and laboratory indicators, electrocardiogram and imaging parameters, and biomarkers, and evaluated the effectiveness of existing predictive models. Through analysis of existing literature and research, this article proposes a predictive model that integrates multiple parameters to improve the accuracy of predicting AF in DCM patients and provide a scientific basis for personalized treatment.

Authors: Wang Yamei
Published: March 2024

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of Shengyang Yiwei Decoction in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to spleen and stomach weakness. Methods: 40 patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS who were treated from April 2018 to April 2020 were taken as samples. TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) syndrome differentiation found that they were all due to spleen and stomach weakness. They were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was treated with modified prescriptions of Shengyang Yiwei Decoction, while Group B was treated with Western medicine. The therapeutic effects in the two groups were compared. Results: The treatment efficacy in Group A was higher than that in Group B (P < 0.05); the symptom scores of Group A such as loose stools, chills, physical weakness, poor appetite, and abdominal distension after meals were all lower than those in Group B (P< 0.05); the SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Health Survey) scores of patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS in Group A were higher than those in Group B (P < 0.05); the treatment satisfaction of Group A was higher than that of Group B (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Treatment of diarrhea-predominant IBS patients with spleen and stomach weakness by Shengyang Yiwei Decoction can promote the disappearance of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, improve the quality of life, and enhance treatment efficacy. Hence, it is an efficient and feasible treatment for diarrhea-predominant IBS due to spleen and stomach weakness.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To explore the value of using the venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference and the arterial-venous oxygen content difference ratio (ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2) as targets to guide early tissue hypoperfusion in sepsis in plateau areas. Methods: 90 sepsis patients admitted to the Third People’s Hospital of Xining and Golmud People’s Hospital from June 2017 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into the ScvO2 (central venous oxygen saturation) group and the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 group, with 45 cases in each group. The two groups were treated with early shock resuscitation according to different protocols. The hemodynamic characteristics of the two groups of patients before and after resuscitation were observed, and the volume responsiveness was evaluated. The ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve was used to analyze the significance of ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2, ScvO2, lactate, lactate clearance, and urine output in evaluating patient prognosis and the correlation between ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 and the above indicators was explored. Results: Compared with before resuscitation, after fluid resuscitation, the heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac index (CI), lactate, lactate clearance rate, and urine output of the two groups of patients were significantly improved (P < 0.05); in terms of therapeutic effect, the 28-day mortality rate, 6-hour fluid balance, and lactic acid clearance of the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 group were better than the ScvO2 group. The ROC characteristic curve showed that the ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 value can effectively predict the prognosis of patients (AUC = 0.907, sensitivity was 97%, specificity was 72.4%, and critical value was 1.84). ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 significantly correlated with ScvO2, lactic acid, and lactic acid clearance rate. Conclusion: The ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 value can be used to guide fluid resuscitation in early hypoperfusion in sepsis in plateau areas, improve patients’ hemodynamics, reduce lactate indicators, and increase urine output. ΔPCO2/Ca-vO2 level > 1.84 can effectively improve patient prognosis.

Factors Influencing Compliance with Safe Handling Requirements of Anticancer Agents by Nurses in a Tertiary Hospital — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Lee Seul Gi , Choi So-Young
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This research aimed to identify leading factors that affect nurses’ compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents. Methods: Data were collected from 114 nurses working in the university hospital and were analyzed through independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS25.0. Results: The average level of compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents was 3.73 ± 0.33 out of 5 points. Workplace safety culture (β = 0.40, P < 0.001) and knowledge of safe handling (β = 0.18, P = 0.030) had significant influences on nurses’ compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents. The explained variance for compliance was 28.3%. Conclusion: To enhance the implementation of safety management for anticancer agents, each institution should strive to support human and material resources and enhance specialization in the workplace safety culture through system improvement. Based on the results of this study, we suggest research for the development of a training program for anticancer agent safety management.

Authors: Yan Ling
Published: March 2024

Objective: To analyze the effect of using continuity of care for elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and its impact on their quality of life. Methods: 100 cases of elderly patients with CHD with UAP admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected and grouped into an observation group and a control group of 50 cases each according to the randomized number table method. The nursing effect and quality of life of the observation group (continuity nursing) and the control group (routine nursing) were compared. Results: The total effective rate of nursing care was 96.00% observation group and 80.00% for the control group, and the differences were significant (χ2 = 6.061, P < 0.05). Patients in the observation group had fewer episodes (1.42 ± 0.21) times/week and a shorter duration (5.46 ± 0.39) min, which were better than the control group (t =3.465, 2.973; P < 0.05). The depression self-rating depression scale (SDS) score (42.16 ± 6.64) and anxiety self-rating scale (SAS) score (32.26 ± 7.35) in the observation group were lower and the quality of life was higher as compared to that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Continuous nursing care improved the nursing effect of elderly CHD with UAP patients, promoted the alleviation of UAP symptoms, improved patient mentality, and improved their quality of life. Hence, continuous nursing care possesses significant clinical application value.
Utilization of Colonial Buildings into Business Houses in Semarang

Published: March 2024

Colonial buildings that still survive today are the main attraction because they have high characteristics and historical value. Colonial buildings are one of the cultural heritage that need to be maintained. The existence of colonial residential buildings must be maintained and utilized commercially as one of the solutions to survive. Maintenance of old colonial buildings is not easy, it needs to be quite expensive due to the age of the building and the need for rejuvenation. Heirs or owners of colonial buildings must maximize the building commercially, one of which is on the building on Jalan Beringin Sekayu Semarang by making it a business house. This colonial building has not yet entered the cultural heritage building. Still, it has the potential to enter the cultural heritage building in the future judging from the history and appearance of the building's façade.

The use of colonial residential buildings in business houses needs careful adjustment and arrangement because of the existence of 2 different functions. Residential houses are private zones that require the privacy of homeowners and their families, while business premises are public zones that can be accessed publicly and must reflect professionalism to be trusted by clients and must increase employee productivity. Comfort as a home and professionalism in a place of business are not easy to do without good planning. Planning must not change the total face of the building so that the historical value of the cultural heritage is not lost. Spatial adjustments must also be made by considering aspects of function, comfort, and professionalism. Without good planning, colonial buildings that have historical value, and cultural heritage characteristics will be lost and buildings cannot function properly with disruption of activities as residences and places of business. 

The research was conducted with descriptive qualitative research methods through field observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research needs to be done so that colonial buildings can survive as cultural heritage and be used properly with adjustments due to their function as a residence as well as a place of business. The results of the study can describe the changes or adaptations that occur due to the use of colonial buildings of residential houses in places of business. These changes and adaptations include the appearance of the façade, zoning area, and circulation.

Published: March 2024

Gender in entrepreneurship is an important issue. This research aims to determine the role of gender in the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial interest, which is mediated by entrepreneurial attitudes and subjective entrepreneurial norms. The respondents in this research were 156 active Strata-1 students, 115 female students, and 41 male students. The research method used is quantitative with a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The main limitation of this research is that it only examines the role of gender in the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial interest, which is mediated by entrepreneurial attitudes and subjective entrepreneurial norms. The research findings indicate that gender moderation is more pronounced among females, with females exhibiting a more positive and significant influence on hypotheses five through seven. The results of the hypotheses show that entrepreneurial knowledge does not significantly influence entrepreneurial attitudes. However, the second hypothesis demonstrates a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge and subjective norms of entrepreneurship. Additionally, the third hypothesis highlights the positive impact of entrepreneurial attitudes on entrepreneurial interest. Finally, the fourth hypothesis suggests that entrepreneurial subjective norms significantly influence interest in entrepreneurship.
