Authors: Hobenu Kafui A , Naab Florence 
Published: April 2020

Background/aims Cervical cancer is a highly prevalent type of cancer that causes severe physical consequences, including pain and sleep disturbance. However, in Ghana, little is known about the experiences of women with cervical cancer. This study explored the physical experiences of women with cervical cancer in Accra, Ghana to help healthcare professionals understand the experiences of their patients and improve the care given. Methods This study employed an exploratory descriptive qualitative approach, using purposive sampling technique to select study participants. In-depth interviews lasting between 45 and 90 minutes were conducted face-to-face with 15 women with cervical cancer receiving treatment at a teaching hospital in Ghana to gather information on their physical experiences resulting from the cancer. The interviews were recorded with the participants' consent. Data were transcribed verbatim and subjected to content analysis concurrently with data collection. Results Content analysis revealed the following sub-themes within disease-related physical consequences of cervical cancer: pain, impaired sleep patterns, weight loss and gynaecological problems. Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that women with cervical cancer experience physical consequences that negatively impact their wellbeing. Healthcare providers should employ a multidisciplinary approach in the management of women with cervical cancer.

Authors: White Edward , Brooker Charles 
Published: April 2020

Background/Aims The recent period of financial austerity, between 2010 and 2020, adversely impacted mental health service provision and raised fundamental questions for mental health nurses. This article aims to identify and discuss present areas of professional concern to mental health nurses in the UK. Methods The authors invited submissions from 12 experienced mental health nurses regarding the contemporary circumstances and likely future direction of mental health nursing. Each manuscript was reviewed, and recurrent themes emerged around which an editorial discussion was framed. Findings Many issues around service provision have persisted and/or deteriorated over time. The impacts on mental health nursing continue to be largely related to the type of educational preparation required, the size of the workforce and the research activity deemed necessary to strengthen the evidence base of clinical practice. Conclusions Mental health nursing faces several challenging issues to address if it is to survive and then to establish the unique professional identity it seeks.

2020 IGWS Calendar
Authors: Survey Indiana Geological & Water 
Published: April 2020

Indiana limestone, known to geologists as the Salem Limestone,is quarried in a narrow 30-mile-long area of south-central Indiana that is alsohome to Indiana University. Gracing up to 75 percent of all limestonebuildings in North America, this stone is known for its particularstrength, durability, and ageless beauty, and clads the nation’s most eminentbuildings, including the Empire State Building, Pentagon, andNational Cathedral.
For more than 100 years, this local stone hasbeen used for buildings on the Bloomingtoncampus. Beginning in 1890 with Maxwell Hall,to 2017 and the completion of Luddy Hall,home of the School of Informatics, Computing,and Engineering, nearly all academic buildingshave been built of Indiana limestone.
Architectural styles on campus span threecenturies. From the highly ornate carvings andpointed arches that define Collegiate Gothicarchitecture to the streamlined Art Deco styleof the early 1900s, the beauty of the campusreflects the skills of local stone artisans. In1979, the National Register of Historic Placesadded the Old Crescent portion of campus toits list to ensure its preservation.
Walking around campus, you’ll see manycarvings on the exteriors of the buildings. Fish,maize, and chemical symbols can be foundon the science buildings on the south side ofcampus, while decorative scrolls of text adornseveral of the art buildings to the east. Themost common carved figure on campus is theowl, a symbol of learning and education, andtwelve are scattered on various buildings.
Today, the history of Indiana’s limestone legacyis preserved in several campus collections andarchives. Most of the photographs used for themosaic on this calendar belong to the IndianaLimestone Photograph Collection. Curated bythe Indiana Geological and Water Survey since2012, this impressive archive consists of morethan 26,000 architectural photos depictingquarries, mills, and buildings from the earlyto mid-1900s. The digitized photographs arestored on IU Libraries Image Collections Online(http://go.iu.edu/16dx).
Other photos in the mosaic are from researchand outreach efforts and the collections of theIndiana Geological and Water Survey.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Although coupled plasmonic systems have been extensively studied in the past decades, their theoretical understanding is still far from satisfactory. Here, based on experimental and numerical studies on a series of symmetry-broken nano-patch plasmonic resonators, we found that Fano’s formula, widely used in modeling such systems previously, works well for one polarization but completely fails for another polarization. In contrast, a two-mode coupled-mode theory (CMT) can interpret all experimental results well. This motivated us to employ the CMT to establish a complete phase diagram for such coupled plasmonic systems, which not only revealed the diversified effects and their governing physics in different phase regions, but more importantly, also justifies the applicabilities of two simplified models (including Fano’s formula) derived previously. Our results present a unified picture for the distinct effects discovered in such systems, which can facilitate people’s understanding of the governing physics and can design functional devices facing requests for diversified applications.
Integrated lithium niobate photonics
Authors: Qi Yifan , Li Yang 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) on insulator (LNOI) is a promising material platform for integrated photonics due to single crystal LiNbO3 film’s wide transparent window, high refractive index, and high second-order nonlinearity. Based on LNOI, the fast-developing ridge-waveguide fabrication techniques enabled various structures, devices, systems, and applications. We review the basic structures including waveguides, cavities, periodically poled LiNbO3, and couplers, along with their fabrication methods and optical properties. Treating those basic structures as building blocks, we review several integrated devices including electro-optic modulators, nonlinear optical devices, and optical frequency combs with each device’s operating mechanism, design principle and methodology, and performance metrics. Starting from these integrated devices, we review how integrated LNOI devices boost the performance of LiNbO3’s traditional applications in optical communications and data center, integrated microwave photonics, and quantum optics. Beyond those traditional applications, we also review integrated LNOI devices’ novel applications in metrology including ranging system and frequency comb spectroscopy. Finally, we envision integrated LNOI photonics’ potential in revolutionizing nonlinear and quantum optics, optical computing and signal processing, and devices in ultraviolet, visible, and mid-infrared regimes. Beyond this outlook, we discuss the challenges in integrated LNOI photonics and the potential solutions.
Simultaneous field enhancement and loss inhibition based on surface plasmon polariton mode hybridization

Published: April 2020

Abstract
In common plasmonic configurations, energy loss and field enhancement are mutually restricted. In a vast majority of cases, high confinement goes together with high loss, which is a serious limitation for some applications. In an attempt of breaking this rule, which holds true for surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonators, a multilayer trench grating microstructure with an asymmetric waveguide is considered. It supports both Fabry-Perot (FP) and cavity modes, whose hybridization exhibits unusual properties. The electric field enhancement was modulated by regulating the corresponding absorption and radiation quality factors. At the same time, energy loss was reduced, which is fundamentally ascribed to the mutual recycling of radiation energy between FP and cavity resonators. The maximum total quality factor and strongest field enhancement were both observed at the vicinity of quasi-static limit, thereby signifying that the structure exhibited simultaneous optimizations of field enhancement and loss inhibition, which is crucial to the design of high-quality SPP-based devices.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
IV–VI semiconductors have attracted widespread attention in basic research and practical applications, because of their electrical and optoelectronic properties comparable to graphene. Herein, an optical modulator based on SnSSe with strong nonlinearity is prepared by chemical vapor transfer method. The modulation depth of proposed SnSSe saturable absorber (SA) is up to 57.5%. By incorporating SnSSe SA into the laser, the Q-switched pulses as short as 547.8 ns are achieved at 1530.07 nm. As far as we know, this is the first successful application of SnSSe in Q-switched lasers. Our investigation not only prove the optical nonlinearity of SnSSe, but also reveal the potential of SnSSe SA in ultrafast photonics.
Advances in exploiting the degrees of freedom in nanostructured metasurface design: from 1 to 3 to more
Authors: Li Zile , Yu Shaohua , Zheng Guoxing 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The unusual electromagnetic responses of nanostructured metasurfaces endow them with an ability to manipulate the four fundamental properties (amplitude, phase, polarization, and frequency) of lightwave at the subwavelength scale. Based on this, in the past several years, a lot of innovative optical elements and devices, such as metagratings, metalens, metaholograms, printings, vortex beam generators, or even their combinations, have been proposed, which have greatly empowered the advanced research and applications of metasurfaces in many fields. Behind these achievements are scientists’ continuous exploration of new physics and degrees of freedom in nanostructured metasurface design. This review will focus on the progress on the design of different nanostructured metasurfaces for lightwave manipulation, including by varying/fixing the dimensions and/or orientations of isotropic/anisotropic nanostructures, which can therefore provide various functionalities for different applications. Exploiting the design degrees of freedom of optical metasurfaces provides great flexibility in the design of multifunctional and multiplexing devices, which can be applied in anticounterfeiting, information encoding and hiding, high-density optical storage, multichannel imaging and displays, sensing, optical communications, and many other related fields.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Blue-emissive nanocrystals (NCs) with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) and excellent stability are essential for lighting and displays. Here, a facile top-down approach (including two steps: thermal annealing and ultrasonic treatment) by using aluminum acetylacetonate (Al(acac)3) as a precursor is adopted to fabricate blue-emissive Al(acac)3 NCs with high PL QY reaching 81.8%, the highest reported value for the aluminum compound-based NCs so far. Additionally, the as-fabricated Al(acac)3 NC solution (in toluene) exhibits high stability under air atmosphere condition, maintaining 61.2% of initial PL QY after 1 year. Furthermore, solution-processed Al(acac)3 NCs/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite film with blue emission is demonstrated. Finally, combinations of the blue-emitting Al(acac)3 NCs/PMMA composite film with red-emitting and green-emitting CuInS2 composite films are realized, resulting in remote ultraviolet-pumped white light-emitting diodes with a high color rendering index of 91. These findings inform new blue-emissive NCs and composite films, potentially paving the way to design new structures of lighting and display devices.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Training: Coaching Considerations

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT
Exercise is beneficial for women to continue during pregnancy and the postpartum period. However, many women do not meet the minimum guidelines set forth by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Strength and conditioning coaches and personal trainers working specifically with athletes and nonathletes during childbearing years should continue to encourage their clientele to exercise. Educating them on altering their current exercise program and adapting it as they progress through their pregnancy into the postpartum period is important. General recommendations for exercise and certain modifications may be needed as many physical and physiological adaptations occur within the body during this time.
Effect of Circuit Structure on Odor Representation in the Insect Olfactory System
Authors: Rajagopalan Adithya , Assisi Collins 
Published: April 2020

AbstractIn neuroscience, the structure of a circuit has often been used to intuit function—an inversion of Louis Kahn’s famous dictum, “Form follows function” (Kristan and Katz, 2006). However, different brain networks may use different network architectures to solve the same problem. The olfactory circuits of two insects, the locust,Schistocerca americana,and the fruit fly,Drosophila melanogaster, serve the same function—to identify and discriminate odors. The neural circuitry that achieves this shows marked structural differences. Projection neurons (PNs) in the antennal lobe innervate Kenyon cells (KCs) of the mushroom body. In locust, each KC receives inputs from ∼50% of PNs, a scheme that maximizes the difference between inputs to any two of ∼50,000 KCs. In contrast, inDrosophila, this number is only 5% and appears suboptimal. Using a computational model of the olfactory system, we show that the activity of KCs is sufficiently high-dimensional that it can separate similar odors regardless of the divergence of PN–KC connections. However, when temporal patterning encodes odor attributes, dense connectivity outperforms sparse connections. Increased separability comes at the cost of reliability. The disadvantage of sparse connectivity can be mitigated by incorporating other aspects of circuit architecture seen inDrosophila. Our simulations predict thatDrosophilaand locust circuits lie at different ends of a continuum where theDrosophilagives up on the ability to resolve similar odors to generalize across varying environments, while the locust separates odor representations but risks misclassifying noisy variants of the same odor.
Ranciere’s Challenge for the Lithuanian Modern Art Histories: The Possibility of New Sensible Structures
Authors: Rybačiauskaitė Karolina 
Published: April 2020

By analysing Jacques Rancière’s conception of art regimes and taking the practical example of paintings by Lithuanian artist Vincas Kisarauskas, it is demonstrated that by thinking about the modern art in the 20th century as the intersection of the three art regimes by Rancière, we might escape from the binary oppositions still prevailing in the interpretations of modern art in post-soviet and post-socialist countries, and also escape the current narratives of late and silent modernisms implying the belatedness and disability of modern art created in Soviet Lithuania. By writing histories of modern art with Rancière, it is possible to claim that at least a part of Lithuanian modern art is neither late nor silent. On the contrary, the part operating in the aesthetic regime of art becomes a space of search for the new tropes of expression and of the common sensual fabric of life.
Tom Regan’s Philosophy of Animal Rights: Subjects-of-a-Life in the Context of Discussions of Intrinsic and Inherent Worth
Authors: Lengauer Erwin 
Published: April 2020

Modern animal rights debates began in the 1970s, mainly as part of the budding field of applied ethics in Anglo-American philosophy. In just a short time, these animal rights discourses received international academic respect, especially through analytically trained philosophers. Central for this development was the analysis that rights language can be principally used species neutrally. This paper’s contribution is to examine the central terms of Tom Regan’s still widely discussed theory for their actuality and usefulness. Hence strengthening these arguments for modern animal rights theory as a serious approach in (inter)national ethical and legal disputes. Translated from German by Gary Steiner, Bucknell University

Published: April 2020

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo asociar la formación permanente de entrenadores con la autopercepción y la importancia atribuida al constructo - competencia profesional. La muestra fueron 69 entrenadores de tenis, que participaron de actividades de capacitación promovidas por la Federación Paranaense de Tenis, estando constituida mayormente por profesionales: con más de ocho años de experiencia profesional; con experiencia como practicante; y graduados en Educación Física. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó una ficha con variables socio demográficas y la Escala de Auto Percepción de Competencia. Los resultados indicaron que la participación en actividades/cursos no tuvo asociación significativa con la autopercepción de competencia de los entrenadores para los Conocimientos Profesionales. Para la dimensión de Habilidades Profesionales, involucrarse en actividades de capacitación se relacionó significativamente con la autopercepción de dominio, con énfasis en las habilidades relacionadas con el Planeamiento y Gestión Deportiva, y Evaluación Deportiva, habilidades consideradas centrales en el ejercicio profesional de los entrenadores. La importancia atribuida a los Conocimientos y Habilidades Profesionales fue elevada, siendo siempre superior a la autopercepción de dominio.
