Authors: Holder Martin , Ehehalt Stefan 
Published: February 2020

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGZur Vorbeugung einer schweren, lebensbedrohlichen Stoffwechselentgleisung (diabetische Ketoazidose, DKA) bei Manifestation eines Typ-1-Diabetes bei Kindern und Jugendlichen stehen nach unserem Kenntnisstand derzeit die folgenden Präventionsmaßnahmen zur Verfügung: (1) Aufklärungskampagnen: Durch Aufklärungskampagnen über die diabetes-typischen Symptome ist eine signifikante Reduktion der DKA-Häufigkeit bei Diabesmanifestation möglich. Dies wird in Übereinstimmung mit mehreren Studien auch von der Stuttgarter Ketoazidose-Präventionskampagne gezeigt. (2) Autoantikörper-Screening: Das frühe Wissen über ein erhöhtes Krankheitsrisiko bereits vor Auftreten der klinischen Symptome kann bei entsprechender Aufklärung und Schulung die DKA-Häufigkeit ebenfalls deutlich senken. Darüber hinaus besteht für diese Kinder die Möglichkeit, an Interventionsstudien teilzunehmen, wie zum Beispiel an der Fr1da-Insulin-Interventionsstudie. (3) Als weitere Präventionsmaßnahmen kommen beispielsweise Impfungen gegen Coxsackie-B- und Rotaviren in Betracht.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background Antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-IgG) have been consistently found in a range of demyelinating disorders. In this context, MOG-IgG-associated optic neuritis (ON) has been suggested as a new subset of optic neuropathy. However, clinical manifestations and distinctive characteristics have only rarely been described.
Patients and Methods A retrospective case series of three patients with MOG-IgG-associated ON. Clinical morphological features using imaging techniques are presented.
Results Three patients (8-year-old boy, 28-year-old female, 48-year-old male) were included. An 8-year-old boy suffered from a bilateral ON with severe visual loss. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.05 in the right eye and finger counting in the left eye. The patient had a previous episode of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) with a right abducens nerve palsy. Visual acuity recovered after repeated cycles of intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and 10 cycles of plasma exchange. During the last follow-up, BCVA was 0.9 in the right eye and 0.8 in the left eye. A 28-year-old female presented with a bilateral ON. Her BCVA was 0.5 in the right eye and 0.8 in the left eye. She fully recovered with pulse methylprednisolone therapy (1000 mg/d) with tapering after the second cycle and had a BCVA of 1.0 during the last follow-up visit. A 48-year-old male suffered from a relapsing bilateral ON. At first presentation, BCVA was 0.1 in the right eye and finger counting in the left eye. BCVA fully recovered after each pulse therapy with intravenous methylprednisolone (two cycles). Since the first relapse, the patient has been receiving long-term immunosuppression with rituximab. Despite rituximab and low-dose oral prednisone, the patient had another relapse with a left ON. After a third cycle with intravenous methylprednisolone, he partially recovered. BCVA at last follow-up was 1.0 in the right and 0.8 in the left eye.
Conclusions MOG-IgG antibodies have been identified in different acquired demyelinating syndromes. The patients reported had an ADEM followed by bilateral ON, an isolated bilateral ON, and a relapsing bilateral ON. Individual treatment strategies led to substantial visual recovery in all patients. We recommend inclusion of MOG-IgG antibodies in the diagnostic workup at least after the first recurrence of ON since they can serve as a diagnostic and potential prognostic tool and might lead to specific therapeutic recommendations.

Abstract
The European Convention on Human Rights and EU Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation
have been transposed into national law. At national level, legislation has led to fundamental changes. In recent years, and
varying with the work area and phase of the legal procedure, different needs for interpreters and translators have arisen. Also,
the required profile of translators, and especially of interpreters, has changed – due to the implementation of new technologies.
What role and status should interpreters and translators now play and have, and above all what skills and knowledge should an
interpreter or translator working in the legal field now have.
Video-mediated remote interpreting in healthcare
Authors: Havelka Ivana 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Interpreters face distinct challenges when deployed remotely via video link, due to their virtual presence but
physical absence in the conversation. Depending on the interpreting service, interpreters can also be exposed to greater
spontaneity and hence increased pressure if video-mediated interpreting is offered as an instant service. The examples discussed
in this paper draw on an interpreting studies-based analysis of the Austrian pilot project “Video-mediated interpreting in
healthcare.” In this study data were generated by means of an observational protocol, five recordings of authentic video-mediated
interpreted communicative events, five retrospective interviews with the interpreters from the recorded video-mediated interpreted
communicative events, and eight expert interviews with all interpreters from the pilot project. The scope of this article is to
present some of the main findings and draw attention to a crucial strategy used in remote interpreting, namely a reliance on
relevant sensory awareness.
“Choose yourself?”
Authors: Sinanan Jolynna 
Published: February 2020

AbstractSocial media is often assumed to espouse ego-centred networking. Yet by comparing posts to Facebook and Instagram, it becomes apparent that the experience and aspirations of the individual are often embedded in structures of family and other institutions that have been historically determined. This article locates images posted by women to two social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, within the Caribbean island of Trinidad’s wider history of the significance of visibility and visuality. What individuals choose to make visible and its consequences form a visual language in which Trinidadians are entirely fluent. By extension, images are used to communicate forms of differentiated identity that are made visible through social media.The material gathered was based on 15 months of ethnographic research in a semi-urban town in Trinidad where, generally, uses of social media are expressive of a place-based sense of identity. The town is simultaneously a place that urban dwellers look down on and villagers look up to. Visual content posted to Facebook and Instagram reveal that while individuals seek to craft and shape images and aesthetics according to their own tastes, this must be done in a socially acceptable way; that is, placing emphasis on group conformity is far more of a social value than expressing individual distinction. Social media in this context communicates the imagination of oppositional futures and a divergence of lifestyles for young women: those who identify with being locally-oriented and those who identify with being globally-oriented.
Sutura2.0

Published: February 2020

AbstractWolof ethics ofsutura“discretion” have historically conflated perceived communicative excess with bodily contagion and associated both with queer subjects. For health non-governmental organizations (NGOs), online dating among gay Senegalese men presents two risks tosutura: contagious sex and contagious discourse. A Senegalese eHealth NGO hires gay men to send HIV/AIDS prevention messages through Facebook and online dating websites in order to contain HIV and, invokingsutura, contain queer communication and bodies. This NGO projects a heteronormative metapragmatic model of health communication, casting information as instrument of containment, and a unitary, de-eroticized digital self as informational messenger. In what I call queer biocommunicability, eHealth activists create erotically seductive digital personae incongruous with offline characteristics. Construed as communicative-bodily excess, digital seductions actually facilitate information exchange. NGOs instrumentalize queer biocommunicability to bolster a care framework that marginalizes queer subjects. This paper traces historical underpinnings and ethical-political implications of heteronormative biocommunicability’s dependence on queer transgression.
Erasmus students in an Irish studyabroad context
Authors: Magliacane Annarita 
Published: February 2020

AbstractWhile second language (L2) pragmatics research has predominantly investigated speech acts, little attention has been given to pragmatic markers (PMs) (Müller, 2005). Research demonstrates that PM use by learners is limited (Liao, 2009) and that their production is aided by native speaker (NS) contact (Sankoff et al., 1997). Thus, if study abroad (SA) provides a combination of instructed and naturalistic input / exposure, the analysis of PM development gives insights into the role of language exposure during SA. Against this background, this article investigates the use of PMs in L2 English during an Erasmus programme in Ireland. Data were collected using sociolinguistic interviews (Labov, 1984) and the PMs studied were ‘like’ and ‘well’. These PMs were tracked longitudinally to investigate differences in frequency and use. Findings were analysed quantitatively and compared with English NSs. Results point to an increase in frequency but also reveal constraints on the use of the PMs studied.
Intercultural guidance abroad

Published: February 2020

AbstractContemporary research on language and intercultural learning during study abroad programs has led scholars to challenge the immersion assumption and to argue the need for interventions that would deepen and extend the learning potential of this experience (Jackson, 2018). In an attempt to underscore this point, this paper reports on an experimental study which explores the impact of a pedagogical intervention where two groups of Flemish students (n = 34) are tracked during their Erasmus stay in Spain. One group of students (n = 14) is enrolled in the intervention and encouraged to engage in linguistically and culturally challenging encounters while the other group is not (n = 20). Both language use and social network formation are examined through an extended version of the SASIQ questionnaire (Dewey et al., 2013), completed following their experience abroad. Although it is not straightforward to grasp the influence of such curricular initiatives on learner interaction and language contact abroad, results from the study are consistent with previous findings on the importance of fostering social interactions for L2 development. Furthermore, a number of social network variables also point out how L2 self-perceived progress can be fostered abroad.
Overall L2 proficiency maintenance and development among returning ERASMUS study abroad participants
Authors: Hessel Gianna 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This study examines the sustainability of gains in overall English proficiency made by 81 German students on ERASMUS study abroad placements in the UK (lasting one term or one academic year) following their return to their home country. Students were tracked using C-tests and questionnaires from pre-study abroad up until nine months post-return. Their development was compared with that of 25 peers who applied for ERASMUS placements, but continued studying at home. The analysis presented focuses on the post-return phase and includes factors associated with individual differences in L2 proficiency development post-return, self-perceived L2 skills development, and returnees’ perceived needs regarding further language classes. Results show that students tended to sustain gains in overall L2 proficiency made during study abroad. L2 proficiency level achieved by the end of study abroad, self-efficacy in using the L2 in social interactions, and majoring in English were all positively associated with post-return L2 development.
Statistical limitations in proton imaging
Authors: Collins-Fekete Charles-Antoine , Dikaios Nikolaos , Royle Gary , Evans Philip M. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Proton imaging is a promising technology for proton radiotherapy as it can be used for: (1) direct sampling of the tissue stopping power, (2) input information for multi-modality RSP reconstruction, (3) gold-standard calibration against concurrent techniques, (4) tracking motion and (5) pre-treatment positioning. However, no end-to-end characterization of the image quality (signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution, blurring uncertainty) against the dose has been done. This work aims to establish a model relating these characteristics and to describe their relationship with proton energy and object size. The imaging noise originates from two processes: the Coulomb scattering with the nucleus, producing a path deviation, and the energy loss straggling with electrons. The noise is found to increases with thickness crossed and, independently, decreases with decreasing energy. The scattering noise is dominant around high-gradient edge whereas the straggling noise is maximal in homogeneous regions. Image quality metrics are found to behave oppositely against energy: lower energy minimizes both the noise and the spatial resolution, with the optimal energy choice depending on the application and location in the imaged object. In conclusion, the model presented will help define an optimal usage of proton imaging to reach the promised application of this technology and establish a fair comparison with other imaging techniques.

Abstract
Driven by continuous scaling of nanoscale semiconductor technologies, the past years have witnessed the progressive advancement of machine learning techniques and applications. Recently, dedicated machine learning accelerators, especially for neural networks, have attracted the research interests of computer architects and VLSI designers. State-of-the-art accelerators increase performance by deploying a huge amount of processing elements, however still face the issue of degraded resource utilization across hybrid and non-standard algorithmic kernels. In this work, we exploit the properties of important neural network kernels for both perception and control to propose a reconfigurable dataflow processor, which adjusts the patterns of data flowing, functionalities of processing elements and on-chip storages according to network kernels. In contrast to state-of-the-art fine-grained data flowing techniques, the proposed coarse-grained dataflow reconfiguration approach enables extensive sharing of computing and storage resources. Three hybrid networks for MobileNet, deep reinforcement learning and sequence classification are constructed and analyzed with customized instruction sets and toolchain. A test chip has been designed and fabricated under UMC 65 nm CMOS technology, with the measured power consumption of 7.51 mW under 100 MHz frequency on a die size of 1.8 × 1.8 mm2.
A quad-band slot antenna with spiral stub and interdigital CPW Feed
Authors: Archevapanich T. , Chomtong P. , Akkaraekthalin P. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This paper proposes a quad-band slot antenna with spiral stub and interdigital CPW feed. The antenna has a compact size and can be used for four frequency bands of 1.8 GHz, 2.45 GHz, 3.7 GHz and 5.2 GHz applicable for LTE, WiMAX and WLAN systems. The important technique designs of the proposed antenna are divided into 2 parts. The first part includes the stepped slot antenna added with square-shaped spiral stub. As a result, the resonance frequencies of the third and fourth harmonics can be controlled as desired. For the second part, the technique of interdigital capacitive CPW is employed at the feeding line, resulting in length reduction from λ/4 of the conventional one to λ/8, which is caused by the slow-wave effect. Moreover, with this technique the resonance frequency of the second harmonic can be independently controlled. The optimized antenna has good performances for all frequency bands with bandwidths of 190 MHz (1.72 GHz-2GHz) at 1.8 GHz band, 280 MHz (2.34GHz-2.53GHz) at 2.45 GHz band, 410 MHz (3.54 GHz-3.95 GHz) at 3.7 GHz band and 220 MHz (5.10 GHz-5.32 GHz) at 5.2 GHz band, respectively.

Method of designing the modular structure of the information system

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The overwhelming majority of modern information systems are built on the basis of a modular principle. This principle involves the creation of independent software subsystems that perform separate groups of tasks. The success of building an information system depends on the quality of the division of tasks into groups. Known approaches to modular partitioning are based on the organizational structure of the enterprise and job descriptions of employees. This leads to unmanaged intermodular connections and loss of the advantages of the modular approach (flexibility, interchangeability of modules, etc.). To solve this problem, the article proposes a new method for designing a modular structure of information systems based on the analysis of information and information flows. This allows minimizing inter-module communications and building systems that are independent of the organizational structure of the enterprise.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
China has entered the economic transition in the post-financial crisis era, with unprecedented new features that significantly lead to a decline in its carbon emissions. However, regional disparity implies different trajectories in regional decarbonisation. Here, we construct multi-regional input–output tables (MRIO) for 2012 and 2015 and quantitatively evaluate the regional disparity in decarbonisation and the driving forces during 2012–2015. We found China’s consumption-based emissions peaked in 2013, largely driven by a peak in consumption-based emissions from developing regions. Declined intensity and industrial structures are determinants due to the economic transition. The rise of the Southwest and Central regions of China have become a new feature, driving up emissions embodied in trade and have reinforced the pattern of carbon flows in the post-financial crisis period. Export-related emissions have bounced up after years of decline, attributed to soaring export volume and export structure in the Southeast and North of the country. The disparity in developing regions has become the new feature in shaping China’s economy and decarbonisation.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Temperature distribution is an important parameter in the operation of DC cables, while there are few studies at present. In this paper, the steady-state temperature field distribution of DC cable was calculated by simulation, and the factors including conductor current and outer surface temperature were discussed and analyzed. The results showed that there is a temperature gradient in the radial direction of the cable; Both the conductor current and the outer surface temperature have a significant effect on the overall temperature of the cable; The increase in the conductor current and the outer surface temperature will significantly increase the conductor temperature. However, the insulation temperature difference changes little.
