Tau decay into $$\nu _\tau $$ and $$a_1(1260)$$, $$b_1(1235)$$, and two $$K_1(1270)$$
Authors: Dai L. R. , Roca L. , Oset E. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe study the $$\tau \rightarrow \nu _\tau A$$τ→ντA decay, with A an axial-vector meson. We produce the $$a_1(1260)$$a1(1260) and $$b_1(1235)$$b1(1235) resonances in the Cabibbo favored mode and two $$K_1(1270)$$K1(1270) states in the Cabibbo suppressed mode. We take advantage of previous chiral unitary approach results where these resonances appear dynamically from the vector and pseudoscalar meson interaction in s-wave. Actually two different poles were obtained associated to the $$K_1(1270)$$K1(1270) quantum numbers. We find that the unmeasured rates for $$b_1(1235)$$b1(1235) production are similar to those of the $$a_1(1260)$$a1(1260) and for the two $$K_1$$K1 states we suggest to separate the present information on the $$\bar{K} \pi \pi $$K¯ππ invariant masses into $$\bar{K}^* \pi $$K¯∗π and $$\rho K$$ρK modes, the channels to which these two resonances couple most strongly, predicting that these modes peak at different energies and have different widths. These measurements should shed light on the existence of these two $$K_1$$K1 states. In addition, we have gone one step further making a comparison with experimental results of three meson decay channels, letting the vector mesons of our approach decay into pseudoscalars, and we find an overall good agreement with experiment.
Motion of spinning particles in non asymptotically flat spacetimes

Published: July 2020

AbstractThe assumption of asymptotic flatness for isolated astrophysical bodies may be considered an approximation when one considers a cosmological context where a cosmological constant or vacuum energy is present. In this framework we study the motion of spinning particles in static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically non-flat spacetimes with repulsive cosmological vacuum energy and quintessential field. Due to the combined effects of gravitational attraction and cosmological repulsion, the region where stable circular orbits are allowed is restricted by an innermost and an outermost stable circular orbits. We show that taking into account the spin of test particles may enlarge or shrink the region of allowed stable circular orbits depending on whether the spin is co-rotating or counter-rotating with the angular momentum of the particles.
Um enlace entre ciência e literatura: o Somnium de Johannes Kepler
Authors: Giacomini Gustavo Santos 
Published: July 2020

No início da idade moderna, novas concepções astronômicas e físicas fomentaram ideias relativas a outros mundos e vida extraterrestre, de modo que forneceram um território inédito para a imaginação científica e literária, a saber, o novo mundo na Lua. Em vista disso, empregamos a obra Somnium, de Johannes Kepler, como vestígio e indício, com a finalidade de examinar a ligação existente entre ciência e literatura no princípio da modernidade. Procuramos destacar como as ideias relativas à pluralidade e habitabilidade dos mundos e à possibilidade de viagens lunares e cósmicas são exploradas nesse contato íntimo entre ciência e literatura. Nosso objetivo é identificar as persistências e metamorfoses dos resquícios na obra de Kepler e, com isso, delinear as linhas primevas de um novo gênero literário, isto é, a ficção científica. Ao propor um exercício de hermenêutica histórica sobre o Somnium, pretendemos levar em conta, pelo menos em parte, as transmissões e recepções do tema enquanto trajetória de uma ideia no tempo.

Published: July 2020

Background
Results of several longitudinal cohort studies suggested an association between cerebral small‐vessel disease and depression. Therefore, we performed a meta‐analysis to explore whether cerebral small‐vessel disease imparts increased risk for incident depression.

Methods and Results
We searched prospective cohort studies relevant to the relationship between cerebral small‐vessel disease and incident depression published through September 6, 2019, which yielded 16 cohort studies for meta‐analysis based on the relative odds ratio (OR) calculated with fixed‐ and random‐effect models. Baseline white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) (pooled OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.14–1.65), enlarged perivascular spaces (pooled OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.03–1.71), and cerebral atrophy (pooled OR, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.54–5.23) were significant risk factors for incident depression. Presence of deep WMHs (pooled OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.05–2.06) was a stronger predictor of depression than were periventricular WMHs (pooled OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 0.93–1.86). What's more, the pooled OR increased from 1.20 for the second quartile to 1.96 for the fourth quartile, indicating that higher the WMH severity brings greater risk of incident depression (25th–50th: pooled OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.68–2.12; 50th–75th; pooled OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.81–2.46; 75th–100th: OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.06–3.64). These results were stable to subgroup analysis for age, source of participants, follow‐up time, and methods for assessing WMHs and depression.

Conclusions
Cerebral small‐vessel disease features such as WMHs, enlarged perivascular spaces, and cerebral atrophy, especially the severity of WMHs and deep WMHs, are risk factors for incident depression.
High Mortality Rates Among Patients With Non‐Traumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Atrial Fibrillation on Antithrombotic Therapy Are Independent of the Presence of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: Insights From a Population‐Based Study
Authors: Ponamgi Shiva P. , Ward Robert , DeSimone Christopher V. , English Stephen , Hodge David O. , Slusser Joshua P. , Graff‐Radford Jonathan , Rabinstein Alejandro A. , Asirvatham Samuel J. , Holmes David 
Published: July 2020

Background
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk is higher in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation on antithrombotic therapy as well as those with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). We investigated if mortality among patients with atrial fibrillation on antithrombotic therapy presenting with non‐traumatic ICH was influenced by underlying CAA.

Methods and Results

We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project to identify 6045 patients with atrial fibrillation aged >55 years on anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy from 1995 to 2016. Seventy‐four patients in this cohort presented with non‐traumatic ICH. Medical records including imaging data were reviewed to identify those with CAA and record baseline variables and outcomes of interest; 38 of our 74 patients (51.4%) (mean age 81.5 years) met Modified Boston Criteria for possible or probable CAA. Twenty‐six of 74 patients (35%) died during the first 30 days while 56 of the 74 (76%) patients died by 10 years follow‐up after index ICH. Overall mortality was not significantly different between the CAA and non‐CAA groups at any point of time during follow‐up (
P
=0.89) even amongst patients restarted on anticoagulation +/− antiplatelet (n=19) (
P
=0.46) or those patients restarted only on antiplatelet therapy (n=22) (
P
=0.66). Three of the 41 patients who restarted on antithrombotic therapy had a recurrent ICH; these 3 patients met criteria for possible or probable CAA.

Conclusions
Although more than half of our patients with atrial fibrillation on antithrombotic therapy and non‐traumatic ICH met Modified Boston Criteria for CAA, CAA did not significantly influence the high mortality seen in this cohort.
“Standing before You, World”
Authors: Behar Daniel 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This article examines translation activity in modern Syria and its intersections with original works as a middle ground between world literature and postcolonial studies. It argues for a return to the multiplicity residing within a postcolonial national setting as a way of understanding poetic production in interaction with foreign poetries. Syrian translating as practiced in the state-endorsed literary periodical Al-Adab Al-Ajanbiyya (Foreign Literatures) is studied as a site of tension between a political rhetoric maintained by a growingly invasive state and the narrowing field of individual enterprise. How would world literature figure from the perspective of a state-backed, professedly Arab-socialist culture? How would this construction then be contested by agents struggling to carve out spaces for individual expression? What role does translation play in this struggle? The parameters of postcolonial experience and representation are themselves fought over in an unequal playing field between state power and beleaguered authors on the literary margins. Translations originating in politicized agendas then become constitutive of non-ideological engagements with world literature sanctioning deviations from state hegemony and promoting civilian agendas.
Transcolonial Nationhood
Authors: Hwang Ji Hyea 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The genre of modern drama was established in Korea primarily during Japan’s occupation (1910–1945), by playwrights such as Yu Ch’i-jin who sought to represent Korean nationhood on stage. Yu was especially influenced by Irish playwrights, due to the parallels he recognized in the two colonial nations. Moreover, he was also concerned with the genre of modern drama on the global scale, as he agreed with his contemporaries that Korean literature must become interconnected with world literature. As a colonial writer, Yu wrote and staged Korean national drama that was inspired by Irish national drama, which he studied alongside other foreign – mostly European – literary traditions while studying in Japan. Françoise Lionnet’s concept of transcolonialism, a spatial approach to understanding the network of colonial literatures, will be used to analyze the complex set of influences on Yu’s writings.
Reading Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West as a World Novel
Authors: Bilal Mushtaq 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This paper investigates how Mohsin Hamid’s fiction challenges the so-called “natural law” of world literature according to which a work of literature has to be first born into a national literature before circulating into world literature. In addition, the paper shows how Hamid’s fiction and its reception strains the category of “national literature.” Building on the theoretical insights of Vittorio Coletti and Alexander Beecroft, I argue that Hamid’s 2017 novel Exit West can be read as a world novel because it narrates the world by framing the displacement of its characters in terms of migratory movement from the Global South to the Global North. The two narrative devices characteristic of the genre of world novel used in Exit West are: delocalization of place and entrelacement, or multi-strand narration.
Affinities of Postcolonial Memory
Authors: Pree Nathanael 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The Rings of Saturn and other works by W.G. Sebald are discussed in conjunction with Landscape of Farewell, by Australian novelist Alex Miller, extending Aimé Césaire’s choc-en-retour, or “boomerang effect,” and following Michael Rothberg’s articulation of “Multidimensional Memory,” to inform a comparative, transcontinental analysis of specific aftershocks of colonialism. Contexts include contemporary Brussels, Indigenous Australia and the eroded coast of East Anglia. The effects of competing and complementary trajectories that arise from postcolonial memory, the presence of found books, following Homi Bhabha, and the intertextual presences of Joseph Conrad and explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, are discussed. The role of poesis articulated by an uncertain narrator against a background of exploitation and genocide is evaluated, as well as the effects of colonial activity on the landscape itself. In conclusion, the article considers the role of literature in effecting reconciliation and restitution.
Simulating Dramatic Networks
Authors: Moretti Franco 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
“Yes, interesting,” said someone from the audience, the first time I presented on dramatic networks; “but, as a mathematician, I feel I only understand something if I know how to ‘make’ it. So: how do you make a dramatic network? What elements does it need, what rules, what stages?” At the time, I had no idea how to respond; in a discipline like ours, where the objects of study are emphatically given – passed on with care, and often with reverence, from generation to generation – the idea of “making” Hamlet sounded half absurd, half sacrilegious. But that’s exactly my object here: neither real plays, nor even the networks that can be extracted from them, but their “simulations” instead.
Critical Disability Studies and ‘Inclusive’ Early Childhood Education: The Ongoing Divide
Authors: Eilers Nicole 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Critical Disability Studies (cds) provokes the field of early childhood ‘inclusion’ to reflect on its own complex history in order to identify how ableism has played a central role in the field’s development. However, the fields of early childhood ‘inclusive’ education and cds remain largely distinct. This paper explores the ongoing separation between these fields in the context of the United States. I begin by providing a brief overview of the history of cds and early childhood ‘inclusive’ education as distinct fields. Then, I discuss the divide between these two fields, analyzing their contemporary states, and describing the factors that facilitate the distance between them.

Authors: Mannekote Thippaiah Srinagesh , Shankarapura Nanjappa Muralidhara , Gude Jayasudha G. , Voyiaziakis Emanuel , Patwa Sohum , Birur Badari , Pandurangi Ananda 
Published: July 2020

Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) may be understood as a physical and behavioral expression of emotional distress. Over the past 70 years, it has been variably formulated as a type of emotional reaction to various stressors. NSSI has complex goals, sometimes implicit, but overall it serves as a transient psychological relief. Many believe that NSSI is a maladaptive behavior and is not related to suicide, with the primary differentiating factor between suicide and NSSI being the ‘intention’ to die. NSSI is an important mental health problem in current modern societies, and it is part of a trend in current psychiatric and mental health practice to medicalize maladaptive behaviors or psychological distress. Aims: To review the prevalence, associated factors, purpose, and psychological and social significance of NSSI in developing countries. Method: This article is a narrative review. However, of the total 1,094 articles, 13 articles were included to derive information on the prevalence and methods of NSSI in the developing country. Results: NSSI rates are very variable, ranging from 11.5% to as high as 33.8%, depending on the nature of the sample and study design, but data show an increasing trend globally, including in developing countries. Conclusion: The recent emerging data does not support the notion that it is common in developed Western countries, though the meaning, context and reason for NSSI might differ in developing and developed countries. NSSI is almost equally prevalent in both developing and developed countries.
The pharmacogenetics of opioid treatment for pain management
Authors: Singh Ashley , Zai Clement , Mohiuddin Ayeshah G , Kennedy James L 
Published: July 2020

Background: Opioids are widely used as an analgesic for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. However, there are interindividual variabilities in opioid response. Current evidence suggests that these variabilities can be attributed to single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in opioid pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Knowledge of these genetic factors through pharamacogenetic (PGx) testing can help clinicians to more consistently prescribe opioids that can provide patients with maximal clinical benefit and minimal risk of adverse effects. Aim: The research outlined in this literature review identifies variants involved in opioid PGx, which may be an important tool to achieving the goal of personalized pain management. Results: Cytochrome P450 ( CYP) 2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, catechol-o-methyltransferase ( COMT), adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter B1 ( ABCB1), opioid receptor mu 1 ( OPRM1), and opioid receptor delta 1 ( OPRD1) are all important genes involved in opioid drug response, side effect profile and risk of dependence; these are important genetic factors that should be included in potential opioid PGx tests for pain management. Conclusions: Employing a PGx-guided strategy for prescribing opioids can improve response rate, reduce side effects and increase adherence to treatment plans for pain; more research is needed to explore opioid-related PGx factors for the development and validation of an opioid genetic panel. Optimal prescriptions could also provide healthcare payers with beneficial savings, while reducing the risk of propagating the current opioid crisis.
Repurposing the power injectable peripherally inserted central catheter as a tunnelled, non-cuffed, centrally inserted central venous catheter in oncological patients for short- to mid-term vascular access: A pilot study
Authors: Low Xi Zhen , Tay Kiang Hiong , Leong Sum , Lo Richard Hoau Gong , Zhuang Kun Da , Chua Jasmine Ming Er , Too Chow Wei 
Published: July 2020

Objectives: Usual short- to mid-term vascular accesses for oncologic patients include the peripherally inserted central catheter and non-tunnelled centrally inserted central catheters, inserted in the supraclavicular or infraclavicular area. Peripherally inserted central catheters can be restrictive in active patients; supraclavicular non-tunnelled centrally inserted central catheters are not ideal in terms of exit site location and cosmesis, while infraclavicular non-tunnelled centrally inserted central catheters may be associated with puncture-related complications. In this pilot study, we have evaluated the off-label use of peripherally inserted central catheters as a tunnelled supraclavicular centrally inserted central catheter. Methods: Ten patients were recruited for this prospective study. A non-cuffed, power injectable peripherally inserted central catheter was inserted via a short subcutaneous tunnel into the internal jugular vein using the peel-away sheath and introducer as a tunneller. Puncture wounds were closed with tissue glue. Patients were followed up for comfort scores, dwell time and complications. Results: The median dwell time was 94 days (mean of 113 days). One catheter was removed due to systemic fungemia, resulting in an acceptable complication rate of 0.97 per 1000 catheter days.Mean patient-reported comfort scores was 16 (out of 20). Pressurised injections for computer tomography imaging were performed in five patients without complications. Conclusion: Despite limited numbers, this method appears to be safe and well accepted with low complication rates. This modified vascular access is low profile, easily concealed, readily removable and compatible with pressure injector and uses a commonly found catheter in a modified fashion. Larger prospective trials will be needed to ascertain if it can be a standard of care for oncological patients.
Vowel learning in diglossic settings: Evidence from Arabic-Greek learners
Authors: Georgiou Georgios P , Themistocleous Charalambos 
Published: July 2020

Aim and questions: Second language learners are often acquiring a second language (L2) in multilingual and bidialectal sociolinguistic environments. The competing pronunciations can be challenging to language learners. This study aims to determine the effects of language variety—standard variety versus local variety—on L2 vowel learning. Methodology: Vowel productions from 55 speakers were analyzed in the study; 10 speakers of Egyptian Arabic were recorded in a reading task producing Greek vowels and their vowel productions were compared to L1 vowel productions produced by 20 Standard Modern Greek and 25 Cypriot Greek speakers from a study by Themistocleous. Data and analysis: We conducted linear mixed effects models and tested the effects of language variety, vowel, and stress on the first and second formant frequency and on vowel duration. Findings: Egyptian Arabic speakers merge the middle Greek vowels /e/ and /o/ and the high /i/ and /u/ vowels. Also, they did not differentiate phonetically between L2 stressed and unstressed vowels. These findings are arguably an effect of the L1 vowel structure on L2 vowels. The two varieties exercised competing effects on learners’ vowel productions, which suggests that both varieties are influencing vowel learning. Originality: There has been substantial research on L2 vowel learning in monolingual environments but not in diglossic environments; this study fills this gap by offering evidence about vowel learning in diglossic environments. Implications: In modern societies, communication takes place in multilingual environments. The findings highlight the impact of diglossia on L2 vowel learning and, ultimately, they demonstrate the importance of sociolinguistic factors on L2 learning.
Systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients, a harbinger of microvascular complications: A cross-sectional study from North India
Authors: Roy Shankar , Kant Ravi , Kumar Barun , Khapre Meenakshi , Bairwa Mukesh 
Published: July 2020

Objective: The primary objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of sub-clinical left ventricular dysfunction among asymptomatic diabetic patients, while the secondary objectives were to determine its association with microvascular complications and to find correlation with the baseline clinical and demographic parameters. Material and methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 226 type 2 diabetic patients who did not have any diagnosed cardiac disease, baseline ECG abnormality or cardiac symptoms. Two-dimensional strain echocardiography was performed to estimate the prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction by measuring global longitudinal strain rate (cutoff < 18). Its association with microvascular complications was analysed with SPSS 23 software. Other baseline clinical parameters and demographic profile were also analysed. Result: Among 226 patients (151 males, 75 females), cardiac abnormality was found in 29.2% patients. Diabetic microvascular complications (e.g. neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy) were strongly associated with it (each with p < 0.0001) in addition to dyslipidaemia, history of hypertension, higher body mass index and poor glycaemic parameters. Among them, proteinuria showed a linear inverse relationship without any specific cutoff value. Conclusion: It was found that sub-clinical left ventricular dysfunction was found in significantly high proportion among patients with microvascular complications. Hence, routine screening of all diabetics for such complications and subsequently high-risk patients undergoing strain echocardiography can be a very cost-effective diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic modality.
