Reading Achievement in Children With Hearing Loss Who Use Listening and Spoken Language: Results and Implications From a 2-Year Study
Authors: Smolen Elaine R. , Hartman Maria C. , Wang Ye 
Published: September 2020

PurposeThis longitudinal study explored the reading achievement of children with hearing loss who used listening and spoken language and examined their progress across reading domains over 1 year.MethodSixty-four children with hearing loss enrolled in prekindergarten through third grade in a large listening and spoken language program in the Southwest United States participated. Eight subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Achievement were administered, and demographic information was collected. The same subtests were administered to 53 of the participants 1 year later.ResultsThe mean subtest standard scores for participants in this study were all within the average range. Participants demonstrated relative strengths in basic reading skills, such as spelling, word and nonword reading, and comprehension of short passages. Relative weaknesses were found in the areas of oral reading and word- and sentence-reading fluency. When the participants were again assessed 1 year later, significant growth was found in their letter–word identification, sentence-reading fluency, and word-reading fluency.ConclusionsWhile children with hearing loss have historically struggled to achieve age-appropriate reading skills in elementary school, the participants in this study achieved mean scores within the average range. Returning participants made more than 1 year's progress in 1 year's time in several areas of reading while enrolled in a specialized program. Clinical and educational implications, including strategies to develop reading fluency, are addressed.

Context. Relatively large radii of some hot Jupiters observed in the ultraviolet and blue-optical are generally interpreted to be due to Rayleigh scattering by high-altitude haze particles. However, the haze composition and its production mechanisms are not fully understood, and observational information is still limited.
Aims. We aim to study the presence of hazes in the atmospheres of HD 209458 b and HD 189733 b with high spectral resolution spectra by analysing the strength of water vapour cross-correlation signals across the red optical and near-infrared wavelength ranges.
Methods. A total of seven transits of the two planets were observed with the CARMENES spectrograph at the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope. Their Doppler-shifted signals were disentangled from the telluric and stellar contributions using the detrending algorithm SYSREM. The residual spectra were subsequently cross-correlated with water vapour templates at 0.70–0.96 μm to measure the strength of the water vapour absorption bands.
Results. The optical water vapour bands were detected at 5.2σ in HD 209458 b in one transit, whereas no evidence of them was found in four transits of HD 189733 b. Therefore, the relative strength of the optical water bands compared to those in the near-infrared were found to be larger in HD 209458 b than in HD 189733 b.
Conclusions. We interpret the non-detection of optical water bands in the transmission spectra of HD 189733 b, compared to the detection in HD 209458 b, to be due to the presence of high-altitude hazes in the former planet, which are largely absent in the latter. This is consistent with previous measurements with the Hubble Space Telescope. We show that currently available CARMENES observations of hot Jupiters can be used to investigate the presence of haze extinction in their atmospheres.
What about Platelet Function in Platelet Concentrates?
Authors: Prudent Michel 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe characterization of platelet concentrates (PCs) in transfusion medicine has been performed with different analytical methods and platelet lesions (from biochemistry to cell biology) have been documented. In routine quality assessment and validation of manufacturing processes of PCs for transfusion purposes, only basic parameters are monitored and the platelet functions are not included. However, PCs undergo several manipulations during the processing and the basic parameters do not provide sensitive analyses to properly picture out the impact of the blood component preparation and storage on platelets. To improve the transfusion supply chain and the platelet functionalities, additional parameters should be used. The present short review will focus on the different techniques to monitor ex vivo platelet lesions from phenotype characterization to advanced omic analyses. Then, the opportunities to use these methods in quality control, process validation, development, and research will be discussed. Functional markers should be considered because they would be an advantage for the future developments in transfusion medicine.
Laboratory Techniques Used to Diagnose Constitutional Platelet Dysfunction
Authors: Ibrahim-Kosta Manal , Alessi Marie-Christine , Hezard Nathalie 
Published: September 2020

AbstractPlatelets play a major role in primary hemostasis, where activated platelets form plugs to stop hemorrhaging in response to vessel injuries. Defects in any step of the platelet activation process can cause a variety of platelet dysfunction conditions associated with bleeding. To make an accurate diagnosis, constitutional platelet dysfunction (CPDF) should be considered once von Willebrand disease and drug intake are ruled out. CPDF may be associated with thrombocytopenia or a genetic syndrome. CPDF diagnosis is complex, as no single test enables the analysis of all aspects of platelet function. Furthermore, the available tests lack standardization, and repeat tests must be performed in specialized laboratories especially for mild and moderate forms of the disease. In this review, we provide an overview of the laboratory tests used to diagnose CPDF, with a focus on light transmission platelet aggregation (LTA), flow cytometry (FC), and granules assessment. Global tests, mainly represented by LTA, are often initially performed to investigate the consequences of platelet activation on platelet aggregation in a single step. Global test results should be confirmed by additional analytical tests. FC represents an accurate, simple, and reliable test to analyze abnormalities in platelet receptors, and granule content and release. This technique may also be used to investigate platelet function by comparing resting- and activated-state platelet populations. Assessment of granule content and release also requires additional specialized analytical tests. High-throughput sequencing has become increasingly useful to diagnose CPDF. Advanced tests or external research laboratory techniques may also be beneficial in some cases.
Antiphospholipid Antibodies Are Not Associated with Clinical Parameters or Prognostic Outcomes in Patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Authors: Pal Rimesh , Varma Subhash , Ahluwalia Jasmina , Prakash Gaurav 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background Antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) are found quite frequently in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). However, the clinical significance of these antibodies is largely unknown. This study aims to delineate the clinical and prognostic role of APAs in NHL patients.
Patients and Methods  Consecutive patients of NHL were screened for lupus anticoagulant (LA), IgG/IgM anticardiolipin antibody, and IgG/IgM anti-β2-glycoprotein I at the time of diagnosis. Baseline investigations, staging, and treatment were done as per institutional protocol. Patients were followed up until the last known outpatient visit or death. All were screened at each visit for any thromboembolic event. The association of APA status with baseline NHL characteristics and treatment response was evaluated by univariate analysis. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to compare the final outcome in patients with or without APAs. Patients who were initially APA positive were retested for the corresponding antibody at the end of chemotherapy.
Results Twenty-four out of 105 patients (22.8%) were APA positive at diagnosis. The presence of APA was not significantly associated with NHL stage, histology, International Prognostic Index score, activated partial thromboplastin time, or treatment response. The median duration of follow-up was 15 months. Only four patients developed venous thrombosis; none was APA positive. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between the two groups (p = 0.471). Patients, who were APA positive initially, tested negative at the end of treatment, irrespective of treatment response.
Conclusion APAs are encountered more frequently in NHL patients than in the general population. However, APAs do not correlate with disease severity, thrombosis risk, treatment outcome, or overall survival.

AbstractThe use of iron catalysis to enable reactions with diazo compounds has emerged as a valuable tool to forge carbon–carbon or carbon–heteroatom bonds. While diazo compounds are often encountered with toxic and expensive metal catalysts, such as Rh, Ru, Pd, Ir, and Cu, a resurgence of Fe catalysis has been observed. This short review will showcase and highlight the recent advances in iron-mediated reactions of diazo compounds.1	Introduction2	Insertion Reactions2.1	Insertion into B–H Bonds2.2	Insertion into Si–H Bonds2.3	Insertion into N–H Bonds2.4	Insertion into S–H bonds3	Ylide Formation and Subsequent Reactions3.1	Doyle–Kirmse Rearrangement3.2	[1,2]-Stevens and Sommelet–Hauser Rearrangements3.3	Olefination Reactions3.4	Cycloaddition Reactions3.5 gem-Difluoroalkenylation4	Three-Component Reactions5	Miscellaneous6	Conclusion

Abstract
Objectives The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between periodontitis severity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with CD4/CD8 lymphocytes ratio and cytomegalovirus gamma immunoglobulin (IgG CMV) level.
Materials and Methods This is a descriptive study using a cross-sectional approach that included 93 subjects who were diagnosed with SLE in Rheumatology Department, Saiful Anwar Hospital, during 2017 to 2019. Periodontitis severity was assessed by periodontal Index (PI). CD4/CD8 lymphocyte ratio was determined using flow cytometry and IgG CMV levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Statistical Analysis The differences among the three groups were analyzed using analysis of variance. Correlation among the groups was calculated using Spearman/Pearson correlation coefficient test, while regression analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
Results The mean of periodontitis severity and standard deviation in SLE was 2.66 ± 1.02. There were negative correlation between CD4/CD8 lymphocyte ratio with periodontal index (r = –0.971) and positive correlation between IgG CMV level with periodontal index (r = 0.977).
Conclusions Inverted CD4/CD8 ratio and IgG CMV were found associated with periodontitis severity in SLE patient. Further research was recomended that CD4/CD8 lymphocytes ratio and IgG CMV can be used as a potensial marker of periodontitis severity in SLE patients.

SignificanceScience is rapidly changing with the current movement to improve science focused largely on reproducibility/replicability and open science practices. Through network modeling and semantic analysis, this article provides an initial exploration of the structure, cultural frames of collaboration and prosociality, and representation of women in the open science and reproducibility literatures. Network analyses reveal that the open science and reproducibility literatures are emerging relatively independently with few common papers or authors. Open science has a more collaborative structure and includes more explicit language reflecting communality and prosociality than does reproducibility. Finally, women publish more frequently in high-status author positions within open science compared with reproducibility. Implications for cultivating a diverse, collaborative culture of science are discussed.
Overstated carbon emission reductions from voluntary REDD+ projects in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: West Thales A. P. , Börner Jan , Sills Erin O. , Kontoleon Andreas 
Published: September 2020

Significance
There are efforts to integrate the reduced carbon emissions from avoided deforestation claimed by voluntary REDD+ projects into national greenhouse gas emission inventories. This requires careful consideration of whether and how much of the reduced carbon emissions can be attributed to projects. However, credible evidence on the effectiveness of such voluntary activities is limited. We adopted the quasi-experimental synthetic control method to examine the causal effects of 12 voluntary REDD+ projects in the Brazilian Amazon. We compared these ex-post estimates of impacts with the reductions in forest loss claimed by those projects based on ex-ante baselines. Results suggest that the accepted methodologies for quantifying carbon credits overstate impacts on avoided deforestation and climate change mitigation.
Goal-directed and stimulus-driven selection of internal representations
Authors: van Ede Freek , Board Alexander G. , Nobre Anna C. 
Published: September 2020

Significance
Everyday behavior relies on continuously selecting relevant information from the external environment as well as from internal representations in working memory. In describing the selection of external objects, a longstanding distinction is proposed between goal-directed (voluntary) and stimulus-driven (involuntary) sources of attentional selection. We voluntarily attend to things that are relevant to our goals, but our attention may also be captured involuntarily by salient events in the external world. Yet despite decades of research on how these two sources guide our perception (external selection), to date no study has examined whether and how these two sources jointly influence the selection of internal memory representations. With innovative experimental manipulations and behavioral markers of internal selection, we fill this important gap.
Visualizing conical intersection passages via vibronic coherence maps generated by stimulated ultrafast X-ray Raman signals

Published: September 2020

Significance
The capabilities of modern X-ray sources have substantially increased the temporal and spectral resolutions for the observation of elementary molecular events. Theoretically, it has been shown that these unique features can be exploited to probe vibronic coherences that emerge when molecules pass through conical intersections. Here, we demonstrate this technique for the photorelaxation of the RNA-nucleobase uracil after UV excitation. The generated coherence maps reveal the path of the nuclear wavepacket on the excited-state surface in the vicinity of the conical intersection. This information is directly accessible from the spectroscopically recorded signal. Being transferrable to other molecules, these coherence maps will provide detailed visualizations of other nonadiabatic passages in the future.
Grammatical metaphor of Transitivity, Mood and Modality in
Japanese
Authors: Fukuda Kazuo 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this chapter, we consider the applicability of
the notion of grammatical metaphor to the study of Japanese.
We take up Transitivity and reconfirm the fundamental concepts of
grammatical metaphor, and introduce the notions of softening and strengthening metaphors as a way of understanding Mood and Modality metaphors. We then discuss the distinction
between the Mood-shifting type and the Mood-shift-unbound type of metaphors, and consider the derived metaphors of Mood as well as the meta-Mood
and meta-Modality metaphors. We contrast ‘daroo’ with
English ‘will/would’ and ‘to omoimasu’ with English ‘I
think’ and examine their similarities and differences. Finally, we
argue that grammatical metaphor is viable for the analysis of not only English but also Japanese.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this study, we have proposed volume-preserving strategies to boost chaoticadvection and improve the mixing efficiency of serpentine micromixers. The proposed strategies revolve around the point that the volume of the micromixer is kept constant during the manipulation. The first strategy involves the utilization of a nozzle-diffuser (ND) shaped microchannel. Using this, the velocity of the fluids fluctuates in an alternating pattern, leading to additional chaotic advection, a decrease in the mixing path, and an increase in the mixing index. The second strategy uses non-aligned inlets to generate swirl inducing effects at the microchannel entrance, where the collision of two fluids generates angular momentum in the flow, providing more chaotic advection. These strategies proved to be effective in boosting the mixing efficiency over wide ranges of Re in which 60% enhancement (from 20.53% to 80.31%) was achieved for Re of 30 by applying an ND shaped microchannel, and 20% enhancement (from 12.71% to 32.21%) was achieved for a critical Re of 15 by applying both of the strategies simultaneously.
High performance sodium-ion full battery based on one-dimensional nanostructures: the case of Na0.44MnO2 cathode and MoS2 anode

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Transition metal oxides have been considered as one of the most promising cathode candidates for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Tunnel type Na0.44MnO2, a typical cathode material for sodium ion battery, shows hopeful potential for future practical SIBs as large-scale electric energy storage system due to the low-cost and environment-friendly virtues. However, poor cyclability and rate performance of Na0.44MnO2 ascribed to the slow kinetic and structural degradation have limited its practical application. Herein, single crystalline hinged nanorod shaped Na0.44MnO2 (NMO-HNR) is designed by simple solid reaction. By testing the electrochemical performances of NMO-HNR samples which are synthesized at different annealing temperatures, the effects of grain size and crystallinity on electrochemical properties are investigated in detail. Thanks to the robust structure of hinged nanorod which is identified by structural and morphological characteristics after deep cycling, all the samples exhibit outstanding cyclability. Especially, the optimized NMO-HNR-900 material could deliver prominent capacity retention of 93.6% after cycling 1800 cycles at 2 A g−1. More importantly, the full battery performance based on Na0.44MnO2 cathode and MoS2 anode is first reported in this work. As a consequence, NMO-HNR-900//Co9S8@MoS2 HNT full-cell can deliver a decent cycling property with a capacity retention of 72.1% after 80 cycles.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this paper, we report the synthesis of MnCO3−Au hybrid microspheres and their application on the electrochemical biosensing of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) based on the immobilization of hemoglobin (Hb). The characterization of MnCO3−Au microspheres revealed that an abundance of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been absorbed on the surface of the spherical MnCO3 by the electrostatic assembly. The combined unique properties of MnCO3−Au microspheres are beneficial for the realization of the direct electron transfer of Hb. Hb immobilized on the microspheres maintained its biological activity, showing a surface-controlled process with the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k
s) of 2.63 s−1. The fabricated biosensor displayed an excellent performance for the electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2. The linear range for the determination of H2O2 was from 0.06–40.0 μM with a detection limit of 0.015 µM (S/N = 3). The biosensor also exhibited high selectivity, good repeatability and long-term stability, which offers great potential for H2O2 detection in real sample analysis.
