Authors: vasanna Smitha , Shah Sonal D. , Rohr Bethany R. , Roche Breanne , Howard Meyerson , Pateva Irina
Published: January 2023

KAT6A, a histone/lysine acetyltransferase is located on 8p11 and
has been reported in association with a variety of partner genes like
CREBBP (16p13), EP300 (22q13), LEUTX (9q13), NCOA2,
NCOA3, and ASXL2. Favorable prognosis and spontaneous remission in
congenital AML with t (8; 16) translocation have been reported. More
recently, a single case report with spontaneous remission in congenital
AML with KAT6A and another partner gene EP300 t (8; 22)
has been described. Here we report an additional patient with congenital
myeloid sarcoma of the skin with t (8; 22) with spontaneous remission.
A New Hybrid Pore-Scale Simulation Method to Characterize Nanoparticles Transport and Attachment Behaviors
Authors: Li Yue , Yuan Bin , Ke Can , Liu Xvpeng , Han Mingliang , Hou Huilin
Published: January 2023

A hybrid pore-scale simulation method using Lattice-Boltzmann (LB)
coupled with Langevin-Dynamics (LD) is proposed to investigate the
transport physics of nanoparticles in microchannel. The controlling
factors (i.e., ionic strength, particle diameter and Reynolds number)
are investigated in the attachment process of NPs. It is observed that a
threshold value of attachment efficiency exists as the ionic strength
increases to about 0.01 M. Moreover, the ionic strength of aqueous phase
has critical effect on the transport behavior of NPs. For the purpose of
quantitatively characterizing the structure of NP suspensions under
varying conditions, a general phase diagram including three flow
patterns (isolated, transitional and clustered regime) is first proposed
for NP suspension with specified ionic strength and Reynolds number. The
outcomes of this work provide valuable insight on the critical
importance of the particle size, ionic strength and hydrodynamic effects
on the attachment and transport process of NPs in porous media

African Great Lakes and their fauna are among the prime model systems
for evolutionary research. Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest lake in
the world and its permanently stratified, relatively species-poor and
well-delimited pelagic zone offers a simple model for ecosystem dynamics
of open water areas worldwide. In our study, we focused on mitogenomic
differentiation of directly transmitted parasites (Monogenea,
Kapentagyrus) infecting two species of pelagic clupeid fishes across two
subbasins of Lake Tanganyika, to unravel patterns of migration and
population dynamics in the pelagic zone of large water bodies. Starting
from pooled population samples, altogether containing more than 800
specimens, we provide the first population-genomic study on any parasite
in the African Great Lakes. Our results indicate a lack of spatial
population structuring in Kapentagyrus tanganicanus infecting its two
clupeid hosts. In Kapentagyrus limnotrissae, a parasite specific to only
one of the two clupeid hosts, spatial and seasonal restriction in gene
flow are observed. Contrasting patterns in spatial population
structuring between K. tanganicanus and K. limnotrissae reflect their
differences in host range and in the life histories, migration and
habitat preference of their respective hosts. This is a proof-of-concept
of how parasites can be reliable tags for hardly traceable hosts, in
this case indicating host and parasite connectivity throughout the
hosts’ spatial distribution. Comparison of population-genetic parameters
based on individual specimens versus pooled samples proofs PoolSeq as a
suitable method in (mito)genomics of minute taxa that are hard to access
in the field.

The purpose of this study was to expand the scope of application in the field as a therapeutic intervention by verifying the effectiveness of composition and application of a loss healing program based on Neimeyer's theory of meaning reconstruction to help the mourning process of the elderly who experienced the loss of a spouse. In order to investigate the effect of the program, a pre-post-post design of an inequality control group was used with 16 people in the experimental group and 16 people in the control group. This program was provided to the experimental group. Bereavement stress, depression, resilience, and quality of life were used as measurement tools to conduct a follow-up survey before, after, and four weeks after the end of the program. As a result of repeated measures analysis of variance to verify the interaction effect by period, bereavement stress (F=17.020, p<.001), depression (F=8.706, p<.01), resilience (F=17.209, p<.001), and quality of life (F=26.279, p<.001) were all significant. It was found that this had a positive effect on the widowed female elderly. The significance of this study is as follows. The loss healing program will help widowed female elderly reflect on the meaning of death, reinterpret the meaning of loss, reduce negative emotions, and re-adapt to daily life by having enough time for mourning. In addition, it can be used to improve the quality of life in old age by strengthening spiritual maturity, self-esteem, and feeling of happiness. In the future, it will be possible to contribute to resetting lives of bereaved victims by providing a loss-healing program and manualizing it through cooperation with local community organizations.
A phenomenological study on case managers’ experience of customized case management in dementia safety centers
Authors:   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management, Kim Eun Ok
Published: January 2023

This study aims to find the direction of case management practice for dementia clients and their families by analysing case management experiences of case managers in dementia safety centers. Eleven case managers (nurses and social workers) from six dementia safety centers who had performed customized case management for more than one year and agreed to participate in this study were selected as study subjects. The researcher guided subjects to describe their experiences through face-to-face and online in-depth interviews. The Colazzi method was used for qualitative analysis of interview data as this method focused on deriving common attributes of all study participants rather than individual ones. Results revealed that the structure of experiences of study participants could be categorized into four groups by identifying 17 topic collections among 44 constructed meanings. These four categorized groups were: organizational environment, stress, coping, and growth. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that organizational reorganization, such as resetting the evaluation system and standard work manual, was necessary in order to promote positive changes of the customized case management performance in a dementia safety center. This study also suggests that a public case management referring system and a cooperation model for dementia should be developed. In addition, follow-up studies are needed to establish a supervision system that can continuously monitor and improve work guidance, psychological and educational support for the case management practice process in dementia safety centers.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of parental parenting behavior and supportive parental co-parenting on the process of infant temperament affecting externalizing problem behavior. For this purpose, 232 infants (118 boys, 114 girls) and their parents from 10 early childhood education institutions in D Metro city were studied. As a result, some moderated moderation effects were confirmed. Specifically, negative emotionality of preschoolers reduced externalizing problem behaviors, but mothers' controlling parenting buffered this tendency, and as mothers' supportive coparenting increased, this buffering effect decreased. In addition, the preschoolers’ extrovertion temperament reduced the externalizing problem behavior, but the mother's controlling parenting buffered this tendency, and the buffering effect decreased as the mother's supportive coparenting increased. Effortful control of preschoolers reduced externalizing problem behaviors, but mothers' compassionate parenting buffered this tendency, and the buffering effect decreased as mothers' supportive coparenting increased. Next, the extrovertion temperament of preschoolers reduces externalizing problem behaviors, but the father's controlling parenting buffered this tendency, and the buffering effect decreases as the father's supportive coparenting increased. In addition, the effortful control of preschoolers reduced externalizing problem behaviors, but the father's controlling parenting buffered this tendency, and as the father's supportive coparenting increased, this buffering effect decreased. In this regard, the direction of effective parent education was discussed.

Published: January 2023

The swelling of the population is an inescapable trend in many countries. There is no point in denying that managing this fundamental social change is an unprecedented challenge. A significant change has occurred as a result of the rapid expansion of urbanization. Sometimes urban space and architecture are sloppy and messy. Urbanization over the past century has led to the loss of the nature and function of buildings and urban spaces as a result of uncontrolled urbanization without consideration for factors such as form, function, and meaning. This problem has the major consequence of reducing social interaction and vitality in neighborhoods. A building, which is one of the main components of urban design, can contribute to urban sustainability and increase social participation. Therefore, this study has focused on the relationship between the characteristics of architecture and urban environment in social interactions by explaining these spaces and their influence in the cultural center's design. The case study is Khavaran cultural centre which is selected in Tehran city. The results indicate that the architecture can affect the quantity and quality of socialization of the cultural buildings.

No doubt our civilization is living now at critical times and this is something that remind us of the John F. Keenedy historical campain speeches in the earliest 60s when  very  opptimistically he used to say that In the Chinese language, the word "crisis" (weiji) is composed of two characters, one representing danger (wei) and the other, opportunit y(ji),  although actually the second part (ji) means more something that we are calling now Tipping Point.  As we could follow on the daily news today we are now going through a  Cathastrofic Convergence of heavy impacts processes related to delicate sanitary, climate and geopolitical risks.  All these representing heavy challlenges, at local  and global levels, for which we are not well prepared, and may take great efforts to somehow jointly learn to overcome, particularly at these deglobalization times, and where we observe an increasing concentration of wealth  and well-being and particularly a lack of care concerning  social and enviromental  issues. So on this paper we focus on the fact that some proposals that have being going alone globally speaking for some time like the UNSDG or the regional EU Green Deal and more particular the more recent Enviromental Social Governance ESG, that this paper is dealing, may hopefully  represent an appropiate way to move ahead  at this Tipping Point overcoming main challenges. The paper basically consists in three parts: Principles, Challenges and Opportunities.
Coscheduling Spatial Self-organization and Distributed Data Collection in Multi-agent System
Authors:   Lviv Politechnic University, Botchkaryov Alexey
Published: January 2023

The problem of coscheduling spatial self-organization control processes and distributed data collection processes in a multi-agent system has been considered. The goal of coscheduling is to find and use the possibilities of functional coordination of these processes and increase the efficiency of the multi-agent system due to their parallel execution. An analysis of the main features of spatial self-organization tasks that affect the solution of the problem of coscheduling has been carried out. Variants of the mobile agent robotic platform configuration and the problem of the dependence of spatial self-organization algorithms on the type of robotic platform have been considered. A method of coscheduling of spatial self-organization and distributed data collection by coordinated parallel execution of the corresponding data collection process and the process of controlling mobile agent motion has been proposed. The method of coscheduling is implemented using the interaction protocol of these processes and the algorithm for planning their parallel execution using functional decomposition. The simulation results of the proposed method of coscheduling are given. It is proved that the proposed method of coscheduling provides acceleration of computations in the decision-making module of the mobile agent due to more efficient parallelization. On average, for typical values of parameters of control processes, the proposed method of coscheduling provides acceleration of computations in the decision-making module of the mobile agent by 40.6 %.

Published: January 2023

Objectives. To assess how to provide telehealth care by identifying characteristics of telehealth delivery, patient populations, settings, benefits and harms, and implementation strategies during the COVID-19 era. Data sources. PubMed®, CINAHL®, PsycINFO®, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from March 2020 to May 2022. Additional studies were identified from reference lists and experts. Review methods. We included studies that reported characteristics of telehealth use; benefits and harms of telehealth; factors impacting the success of telehealth, including satisfaction/dissatisfaction and barriers/facilitators; and implementation outcomes. We conducted a mixed-methods review, synthesizing quantitative and qualitative studies. Two reviewers independently screened search results for eligibility, serially extracted data, and independently assessed risk of bias of included studies. Results. We included 764 studies; 310 studies were included in our syntheses. Patients using telehealth were more likely to be people who are young to middle-aged, female, White, of higher socioeconomic status, and living in urban settings. Visits for mental and behavioral health conditions were more frequent than visits for other conditions, and mental or behavioral care was also more likely to be delivered via telehealth than care for other conditions. Across a variety of conditions, telehealth produced similar clinical outcomes as compared with in-person care. Telehealth care is appropriate for some patients, but more information is necessary to determine the suitability of telehealth for specific patient populations; patients and providers felt that telehealth may be less suitable and less desirable for patients with complex clinical conditions; and some patients perceive telehealth as a barrier to improved health outcomes owing to the absence of a physical exam and challenges in developing rapport and communicating with their care team. There was a lack of evidence addressing implementation cost, penetration, and sustainability of telehealth, and about telehealth implementation at the health system level. Conclusions. Whereas telehealth use spiked after the beginning of the pandemic, the characteristics of patients using telehealth follow a pattern similar to that for other healthcare and digital health services. We found that the use of telehealth may be comparable to in-person care across different clinical and process outcomes. Telehealth implementation has addressed the needs of both patients and providers to some extent, even as clinical conditions, patient and provider characteristics, and type of assessment varied. Telehealth has provided a viable alternative mode of care delivery during the pandemic and holds promise for the future.

Reconstructing Teachers’ Language Intervention for Phonological Aspects in EFL Classroom
Authors: Susanto Susanto , Nanda Deri Sis , Ishak Wan Irham
Published: January 2023

Teachers’ language intervention can play a key role in helping students in the classroom interaction to learn a foreign language. In this paper, we discuss the teacher’s language intervention for phonological aspects in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. We used a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological research design. As the data, we recorded the language exchanges between the students and their teachers at the fifth year of a Primary School (Sekolah Dasar) in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. We categorized three types of teachers’ language intervention, i.e. focalization, correction, and solicitation. Focalization intervention is manifested by the production of a lexical element. The intervention was observed in three situations, namely when reading familiar and unfamiliar English short stories, and playing a game with cards containing English words with their respective pictures, introduced in the stories. The teachers’ language interventions were coded in relation to phonological aspects, i.e. phoneme, syllable, and rhyme. The results show that there are 159 interventions in total. The teachers’ language interventions have the number of speech turns and the duration of the interactions varied in accordance with the context of situation, the Speech-turns mostly occur in reading unfamiliar English stories either for focalization, correction, or solicitation. Thus, this study concluded that teachers intervened more often in reading time of unfamiliar English stories, used focalization more frequently in the intervention, and utilized syllables more preferably as the focus in the intervention. As the implication, variability in the frequency and nature of interventions by the teachers could be at the origin of the differences observed in the performance of students.
Shifting Hours: Unstable Work Scheduling Practices
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Stepick Lina
Published: January 2023

Stable work schedules are a key component of job quality and of supporting a thriving labor force. Stable scheduling practices are associated with improved job attachment, lower turnover, and higher revenues.i On the other hand, employer-initiated unstable scheduling practices have been shown to destabilize workers’ finances, sleep, caregiving, education, other employment, and community and leisure activities, and are associated with negative health outcomes, reduced worker satisfaction, and increased turnover.ii Though unstable scheduling practices are widespread, with about 41% of all workers experiencing such practices, hourly and part-time workers and workers in low-wage occupations are especially affected. Further, due to occupational segregation,iii workers of color are disproportionately impacted by unstable scheduling and its negative outcomes. These inequities in scheduling instability were only compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.iv As jobs have been added back into low-wage industries hit hard by the pandemic, workers’ hours in many of those jobs have remained low and unstable.v Unstable scheduling practices exacerbate the increasingly steep tradeoffs that low-income households face in navigating the costs of low-wage work, including the costs of transportation, housing within a reasonable distance of work, and caregiving. This instability in work hours and income makes it particularly difficult to qualify for employer and state benefits, access reliable care, pursue education or training, and consistently cover rising basic costs of living. As these factors play a role in household employment decisions, understanding unstable scheduling is an important consideration for the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate. This brief outlines the employer practices that comprise unstable scheduling, how underwork and overwork—and fluctuations between the two—can be understood as intertwined with unstable scheduling, and how we can measure the prevalence of unstable scheduling practices across industries. What follows is a discussion of the inequitable distribution and impacts of unstable scheduling, the negative effects of unstable scheduling practices for all workers, and the benefits of stable scheduling for both workers and employers. The final section discusses how potential solutions could address both quality and quantity of work hours, as well as the related challenges of accessing benefits and affordable care.

The concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, As, Cr, Cu, Cd and Fe) were determined in the gills, liver and muscles of thirty-five fishes, water and sediment samples from Aba River using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Heavy metal concentrations varied markedly among fish species and organs. Results revealed that Pb, Cr, Fe had maximum concentration levels of 0.63±0.01, 0.81±0.01 and 16.91 ± 0.20 mg/kg in Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus respectively. As and Cd recorded the highest concentration of 0.18±0.03 and 0.87±0.02 mg/kg in Malapterurus electricus respectively, while Trachurus trachurus had 1.05±0.03 mg/kg of Cu. Orenchromis niloticus, Tilapia ziili and Malapterurus electricus had higher concentrations of As and Cr in the liver compared to gills and muscles. The gills had higher concentrations of these heavy metals than liver and muscles in the rest of fish species studied. The concentrations of Cd, Pb and As in freshwater samples were higher than the standard maximum permissible limit. The sediments had higher concentrations of these metals than in fish and water samples. Heavy metal concentrations in fish species exceeded the standard guideline limit in food substances for human consumption. Malapterurus electricus, Parachanna obscura and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus had bioaccumulation factors for Cd which ranged from 1.069-1.663, indicating potential Cd poisoning or contamination of the three fish species. The estimated daily intake in both adult and children ranged from 8.611 x 10−7 to 9.72 x 10−3 mg/kgbw/day and were within the standard limit of daily intake for the human population. The hazard quotient for adult and children populations ranged from 0.0041-1.3972 and 0.000287 - 0.2080 respectively. The hazard quotient was less than one in most of the metals except for iron, but hazard index was greater than one, indicating potential chronic health hazards. Incremental life cancer risk for the adult population was within safe limits.
The Metaphor of Light – Perspectives on Conceptual Metaphors
Authors: Damian Mihaela Marieta
Published: January 2023

The language of perception, regarded from the perspective of the sensory modality principle, is common to all humans within similar cultural backgrounds. Its conceptualization, from a semantic standpoint is, however, language-specific. With this view in mind, the prime objective of this study is to investigate, from a cognitive linguistic perspective, various kinds of visual properties experienced in connection with the perceptual metaphor of LIGHT. Its cultural and emotional dimensions will be approached as an integrative part of the context provided by Anthony Doerr’s novel All the Light We Cannot See (2014). The present investigation attempts to shed “light” upon the potential embodiment of meaning assigned to the metaphors of perception in a twofold, intrafield (Matisoff 1978, Evans & Wilkins 2000) and transfield standpoint. The conceptualization of the metaphor of light is observed in a contextualized approach of a single language (English), its secondary objective being that of providing the basis for a larger cross-linguistic investigation of similar matters on English–Romanian corpora.
Music Autobiographies – Performing Selves
Authors: Kovács Réka , Savin Andrada
Published: January 2023

The article pays tribute to four artists of the music scene, i.e. Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and John Luther Adams. It walks in their footsteps through their autobiographies and features the major landmarks in their artistic and creative evolution. Despite the various incongruent traits in their music style, background, or gender, music autobiographies prove to be valuable assets, based on which correlations and contrasts can be elucidated, the road to growing into an artist can be followed, and the creative spirit can be grasped. We hereby conclude that autobiographies can constitute a bridge towards the artistic soul and deepen the understanding of how these musicians project themselves as performers and position themselves in society.
Change of Direction Ability as a Sensitive Marker of Adaptation to Different Training Configurations, and Different Populations: Results from Four Experiments
Authors: de Villarreal Eduardo Sáez , Byrne Paul J. , Ramirez-Campillo Rodrigo
Published: January 2023

This article includes four separate experiments. In the first experiment male beach handball players (n = 24) were randomly assigned to regular training (n = 12) or plyometric and sprint training (n = 12). In the second experiment, male players were assigned to a handball practice only (n = 12), a plyometric training (n = 12), or an eccentric-overload (e.g., versa-pulley machine) training group (n = 12). In the third experiment, participants were assigned to padel training (n = 12) or specific on-court neuromuscular technical actions (n = 12). In the fourth experiment, females between 50–59 years (n = 25), 60–64 years (n = 25), and 65–70 years (n = 25) completed 10 weeks of bench stepping training involving jumps, and were compared to age-matched controls (n = 45). The COD ability was assessed with the 10-m COD ability test (experiments one and two), the COD ability test with 90º and 180º turns (third experiment), and with the timed-up-and-go test (fourth experiment). In experiment one, greater COD improvement was noted in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In experiment two, both intervention groups similarly improved COD when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In experiment three, although no significant group-time interactions were observed for COD, the experimental group improved all COD measures pre-post-training (p < 0.05), with a larger effect size for COD with 180° turn to the right compared to the control group (effect size = 0.8 vs. 0.3). In experiment four, the three training groups improved COD ability compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, COD is a sensitive marker of adaptation to different training configurations in these diverse groups.
Lower Limb Skeletal Robustness Determines the Change of Directional Speed Performance in Youth Ice Hockey

Published: January 2023

The factors that influence the on-ice change of directional speed (COD) of ice hockey players remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine which off-ice and anthropometric variables determine hockey COD with and without a puck. Thirty-two elite ice hockey players (age: 17.64 ± 1.02 years, body height: 180 ± 7.5 cm, body mass: 76.4 ± 7.8 kg) performed squat jumps, broad jumps, countermovement jumps, and pull-ups and were assessed on agility office and on-ice, with and without a puck. Anthropometric characteristics were determined according to the modified somatotype method. A moderate correlation (r = 0.59–0.6) was observed among all agility tests, between on-ice agility with a puck and lower limb skeletal robustness (r = 0.45), and between on-ice agility with a puck and sit-and-reach scores (r = -0.50). Agility without a puck correlated with squat jump height (r = -0.36). Multiple regression analysis indicated that off-ice agility (β = 0.51) and skeletal robustness of the lower limbs (β = 0.35) determined (R2 = 0.41) on-ice agility with a puck. Players’ COD was assessed by Illinois tests of agility off-ice and on-ice, with and without a puck; each of these tests moderately predicted the others, but differed in their physical constraints. Players with higher skeletal robustness used more strength and power to achieve COD performance, while players with lower skeletal robustness used techniques and skills to achieve COD, resulting in superior COD performance with a puck compared to stronger athletes. CODs with and without a puck are discrete skills requiring different abilities.

Authors: Ansah Stella , Chen Diliang
Published: January 2023

Gait analysis has been recognized as an efficient method to help realize human activity recognition; however, there is currently no existing review study focused on wearable activity recognition methods that employ gait analysis in the recognition process. In this study, different wearable-gait-analysis-based (WGA-based) activity recognition methods were summarized and compared from the aspects of wearable sensor types, data segmentation, feature extraction, and classification methods. The limitations of the current research and potential opportunities for future research in this field are also discussed.
