Current Neurologic Assessment and Neuroprotective Strategies in Cardiac Anesthesia: A Survey to the Membership of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists
Authors: Krause Martin , Morabito Joseph E. , Mackensen G. Burkhard , Perry Tjörvi E. , Bartels Karsten 
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND:
Neurologic injury and cognitive disorder after cardiac surgery are associated with morbidity and mortality. Variability in the application of neuroprotective strategies likely exists during cardiac surgery. The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) conducted a survey among its members on common perioperative neuroprotective strategies: assessment of aortic atheromatous burden, management of intraoperative blood pressure, and use of cerebral oximetry.

METHODS:
A 15-item survey was developed by 3 members of the SCA Continuous Practice Improvement - Cerebral Protection Working Group. The questionnaire was then circulated among all working group members, adapted, and tested for face validity. On March 26, 2018, the survey was sent to members of the SCA via e-mail using the Research Electronic Data Capture system. Responses were recorded until April 16, 2018.

RESULTS:
Of the 3645 surveys e-mailed, 526 members responded (14.4%). Most responders worked in academic institutions (58.3%), followed by private practices (38.7%). Epiaortic ultrasound for the assessment of aortic atheromatous burden was most commonly utilized at the surgeon’s request (46.5%). Cerebral oximetry was most commonly used in patients with increased perioperative risk of cerebral injury (41.4%). Epiaortic ultrasound (1.9%) and cerebral oximetry (5.2%) were rarely part of a standardized monitoring approach. A majority of respondents (52.0%) reported no standardized management strategies for neuroprotection during cardiac surgery at their institution. A total of 55.3% stated that no standardized institutional guidelines were in place for managing a patient’s blood pressure intraoperatively or during cardiopulmonary bypass. When asked about patients at risk for postoperative cerebral injury, 41.3% targeted a blood pressure goal >65 mmHg during cardiopulmonary bypass. The majority of responders (60.4%) who had access to institutional rates of postoperative stroke/cerebral injury had standard neuroprotective strategies in place.

CONCLUSIONS:
Our data indicate that approximately half of the respondents to this SCA survey do not use standardized guidelines/standard operating procedures for perioperative cerebral protection. The lack of standardized neuroprotective strategies during cardiac surgery may impact postoperative neurologic outcomes. Further investigations are warranted and should assess the association of standardized neuroprotective approaches and postoperative neurological outcomes.

Perceptions of acute hospital occupational therapy services: developing a new model of care for occupational therapy on acute medical wards
Authors: Kingston Gail , Pain Tilley , Murphy Kym , Bennett Michelle , Watson Michelle 
Published: December 2019

Background/Aims This study was conducted at a regional tertiary referral facility in Australia. It was part of a project to implement a new model of care for occupational therapy services on medical wards. Before the new model was implemented, focus groups were conducted to explore the perceived role of the occupational therapist on the acute medical ward, identify potential barriers to changing the service and garner support for the change in service. Methods Three focus groups were held. The groups consisted of nursing, physiotherapy and speech pathology staff who worked on acute medical wards. Participants were asked for their perception of the role of occupational therapy on the acute medical ward. Audio-recordings of the groups were transcribed and analysed. Results Qualitative content analysis highlighted the following themes: assessment of patient function; ‘safe discharge’; more than assessment; equipment and home modifications; collaboration and communication; delegating tasks to assistants; and specialist intervention strategies. Conclusions Multidisciplinary team members' overriding perception is that occupational therapists in acute care settings provide assessment of patient function for the specific purpose of safe discharge. Some participants recalled that occupational therapists had a greater role in ensuring patients returned to their chosen function through rehabilitation and home visits, suggesting support for a change to our proposed post-acute model of care. Concerns highlighted by focus group members regarding increased workload for multidisciplinary team members and loss of communication need to be addressed to ensure the change in service is successful.

Published: December 2019

Background/Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different intensities and waveforms of therapeutic ultrasound on endothelial function in typically healthy participants. Methods A total of 15 participants were evaluated over 2 consecutive days. Different intensities of continuous and pulsed (20% duty cycle) 1-MHz ultrasound were applied to the brachial artery for 5 minutes each. Endothelial function was measured using flow-mediated dilation technique before and immediately after ultrasound was applied. Results Compared to baseline values, endothelium-dependent vasodilation increased with both continuous (2.8%) and pulsed (1.6%) ultrasound at an intensity of 0.4 W/cm2SPTA. At 1.2 W/cm2SPTA, endothelium-dependent vasodilation was 4.1% above baseline for pulsed and 5.3% above baseline for continuous waveforms. There was no additional increase in vasodilation at intensities above 1.2 W/cm2SPTA. The percentage of endothelium-dependent vasodilation was similar for the all of the different waveforms studied. Conclusions Both continuous and pulsed ultrasound waveforms promote endothelium-dependent vasodilation. There was a dose-dependent increase in vasodilation at intensities from 0.4 W/cm2SPTA to 1.2 W/cm2SPTA. Pulsed is more efficient than continuous ultrasound because it produces the same effect on endothelium-dependent vasodilation while employing 20% of the energy applied with continuous ultrasound.

INTRODUCCIÓN. En un contexto de marcada heterogeneidad en la formación recibida para impartir AICLE, este artículo presenta el proceso de diseño y validación de un instrumento de medida del nivel de integración de los principios metodológicos AICLE en los estilos de programación de docentes habilitados/acreditados de centros bilingües. MÉTODO. El objetivo es validar una herramienta que sirva para medir la competencia docente para programar AICLE y diagnosticar las áreas que requieren formación. Para ello ha sido necesario definir el constructo “programación AICLE” a partir de un modelo de programación que integra los principios fundamentales del enfoque. Este constructo ha servido para diseñar la estructura inicial del cuestionario. Esta primera versión fue sometida a una validación de expertos, que ha permitido reducir el número de ítems y mejorar su claridad, precisión y relevancia. El cuestionario resultante ha sido aplicado a una muestra aleatoria estratificada de 383 docentes, de 47 centros bilingües de primaria y secundaria, distribuidos en las cinco direcciones de área territorial de la Comunidad de Madrid. RESULTADOS. Los análisis realizados han demostrado que el cuestionario es una herramienta fiable y válida para recoger información sobre el constructo que mide y han permitido diseñar una versión final del cuestionario denominado CIPMA (Cuestionario de Integración de los Principios Metodológicos AICLE). DISCUSIÓN. Todo ello permite concluir que el CIPMA es un cuestionario validado y listo para ser aplicado en otros contextos, con otras muestras, para medir la competencia de los docentes habilitados para programar AICLE y diagnosticar sus necesidades reales de formación. Esta estrategia de medición de la competencia y el diagnóstico de necesidades de formación concretas puede contribuir a lograr una mayor homogeneización de la competencia docente para programar lecciones de AICLE en los centros bilingües.
Iniciativas Kaingang de decolonização da cidade
Authors: Ernesto Pereira Bastos Neto  , Luís Fernando da Silva Laroque  
Published: December 2019

O presente estudo analisa o potencial decolonial de uma festa realizada pela comunidade Kaingang Foxá, no município de Lajeado/RS, para a qual a comunidade não indígena foi convidada a conhecer a cultura Kaingang. Ainda que marcada pela sobreposição territorial e a multiplicidade étnica, a região do Vale do Taquari/RS costuma ser identificada como berço de imigrantes, alemães e italianos principalmente. Neste contexto, as reocupações territoriais dos Kaingang, desde o final do século XX, intensificam o estranhamento e preconceito por parte da população local. Neste sentido, o presente texto além de evidências históricas da presença indígena nestes espaços, apresenta uma experiência de mediação da participação de estudantes da educação básica na realização de um ritual tradicional Kaingang, com vistas a promover princípios fundamentais da Lei 11.645/08, como o ensino sob o ponto de vista do protagonismo indígena.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites were known to be a prospective family of materials for terahertz (THz) generation. On the other hand, perovskite nanostructures, nanoantennas, and metasurfaces allow tailoring perovskites optical characteristics, resulting in more efficient interaction with incident or emitted light. Moreover, the perovskites are robust materials against formation of defects caused by mechanical deformations and can be efficiently nanostructured by various high throughput methods. In this work, we have enhanced THz emission from MAPbI3 perovskite upon femtosecond laser irradiation using nanoimprint lithography. The formed nanostructures not only improve absorption of the incident laser pulses, but also lead to a non-symmetric near-field distribution. As a result, we have enhanced the efficiency of THz emission from the nanostructured perovskite by 3.5 times as compared with a smooth perovskite film. Our results paved the way for a new application of large-scale perovskite nanostructuring, making halide perovskites competitive with more expensive conventional semiconductors for THz generation.
Ultrastrong coupling effects in molecular cavity QED
Authors: Calvo Jorge , Zueco David , Martin-Moreno Luis 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The spectrum and energy dynamics for a system that comprises a molecule interacting with a cavity photon is analyzed, taking into account the effect of both molecular vibrations and counter-rotating terms (CR) in the dipole Hamiltonian. The CR terms do not have a strong effect on the spectrum even for moderately large values of the exciton-photon interaction. However, it is shown that the polariton subspace is governed by an effective Quantum-Rabi Hamiltonian, where polaritons act as a two-level system and the phonons play the role of cavity photons. The effect of the CR terms is amplified in the dynamics: as the vibrations reduce the effective photon-exciton coupling, small Bloch-Siegert energy shifts can bring the system out of resonance.
Darkfield colors from multi-periodic arrays of gap plasmon resonators
Authors: Ng Ray Jia Hong , Krishnan Ravikumar Venkat , Wang Hao , Yang Joel K.W. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
We present results on colors of metal disk arrays viewed under a darkfield microscope and show that the darkfield colors can be manipulated independently of the brightfield colors. We investigate the appearance of colors as disks are clustered to form a new array with double the pitch and a basis of four disks. These structures of aluminum disks on aluminum oxide on aluminum have resonances in the visible spectrum, so by arranging them in small tight clusters, a coupled plasmon resonant mode is produced at shorter wavelengths. This feature causes a reflectance minimum and leads to an increase in the gamut of darkfield colors produced. These colors are tuned by changing the size of the disk and the inter-disk gap within the clusters. Interestingly, the intensities of the reflectance peaks also demonstrate good agreement with the Fourier series coefficients for square waves. Polarization-tunable colors are also demonstrated by designing rectangular arrays that have dissimilar periods along the two orthogonal axes of the array, and a four-level security tag is fabricated that encodes images for viewing under brightfield, darkfield (both x and y polarization), and infrared illumination.

The VES KM: a pathway for protein folding in vivo
Authors: Cruzeiro Leonor 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
While according to the thermodynamic hypothesis, protein folding reproducibility is ensured by the assumption that the native state corresponds to the minimum of the free energy in normal cellular conditions, here, the VES kinetic mechanism for folding in vivo is described according to which the nascent chain of all proteins is helical and the first and structure defining step in the folding pathway is the bending of that initial helix around a particular amino acid site. Molecular dynamics simulations are presented which indicate both the viability of this mechanism for folding and its limitations in the presence of a Markovian thermal bath. An analysis of a set of protein structures formed only of helices and loops suggests that bending sites are correlated with regions bounded, on the N-side, by positively charged amino acids like Lysine and Histidine and on the C-side by negatively charged amino acids like Aspartic acid.
Recent developments on polymeric membranes for CO2 capture from flue gas
Authors: Han Yang , Ho W.S. Winston 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Polymeric membranes have been widely considered as one of the next-generation technologies for CO2 capture from fossil fuel-derived flue gases. This separation modality requires novel polymeric materials that possess efficient CO2/N2 separation properties, as well as chemical and mechanical stability for a multiyear membrane lifetime. In this paper, recent developments in polymeric membranes tailored for post-combustion carbon capture are reviewed. The selected polymeric materials encompass ether oxygen-rich polymers, polynorbornenes, ionic liquid membranes, and facilitated transport membranes. In each of the selected materials, noteworthy research efforts for material design and membrane formation are highlighted. The performances of the selected materials are compared in the CO2/N2 selectivity-CO2 permeance plot. As the only class of materials reviewed herein that have demonstrated the fabrication of thin-film composite membranes in scale, facilitated transport membranes have shown both high selectivity and permeance at relevant conditions for post-combustion carbon capture. However, comprehensive field tests are needed to resolve the technical gap between the material development and the commercial application.

Published: December 2019

AbstractBurr formation during machining process is a vital role in the assembly lines, even though it is a non value added process but also care should be taken while machining due to non avoiding output generated at the end of material removal process. At present almost all manufacturing sectors faces lot of problems due to these issues and invest more money towards deburring still advanced manufacturing methods available. So, complete burr removal is not possible and only thing is reducing utmost by applying better optimizing techniques, to develop good mechanization methods, selecting optimum process parameters and their conditions. The aim this paper deals about research methods implemented by earlier authors on burr formation especially in drilling. The reason why the present authors selected the drilling is number of automotive and aircraft engineers struggling during structural building works because of these burrs wherever precise measurement needed. In this connection, the authors concentrate their study on previous researcher works related to investigations on experimentation, developing new theoretical mechanisms to minimize burrs, adapt a new technologies available to modify drill bit geometries such that improvement in the minimization of burrs. Finally found that research contributions by changing their drill bit geometry and cutting process parameters have been focused on utilizing the methodologies, changing time to time. In analyzing the performance characteristics with that of input process parameters, several mathematical and empirical models were developed by many researchers so far in their works. Efforts have been made in the direction of optimization of process parameters in drilling for minimizing burr size.
