SEMANTIC VARIATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF KOŁTUN ‘POLISH PLAIT’ IN SELECTED TEXT OF POLISH AND LITHUANIAN CULTURES
The paper discusses semantic changes and stylistic derivation of the cultural concept of kołtun ‘Polish plait’ (Plica polonica) in Polish and Lithuanian. Although today it is impossible to meet a person with a kołtun on their head, the concept itself, as an element of socially established knowledge of the world, has survived and is still used in various discourses (ranging from dialectal texts and folklore, belles-lettres and journalistic writing, to contemporary Internet messages), to communicate different meanings, both literal and metaphorical.There are similarities and differences between the conceptualizations of kołtun in texts of Polish and Lithuanian cultures. The unifying element is the perception of kołtun as a formation of entangled hair or a mysterious disease that is inscribed into the folk system of beliefs and magical rituals. On the other hand, what sets the analysed concept apart in the two languages, is a much richer resource of folk and colloquial forms (compounds, hybrid words, phrasemes) in Lithuanian, and in addition, the lack of negative evaluation of kołtun in Lithuanian, whereas in Polish the word is often used to describe a backward, small-minded person.
Quantum hybrid optomechanical inertial sensing

Published: May 2020

We discuss the design of quantum hybrid inertial sensor that combines an optomechanical inertial sensor with the retroreflector of a cold atom interferometer. This sensor fusion approach provides absolute and high-accuracy measurements with cold atom interferometers, while utilizing the optomechanical inertial sensor at frequencies above the repetition rate of the atom interferometer. This improves the overall measurement bandwidth as well as the robustness and field deployment capabilities of these systems. We evaluate which parameters yield an optimal acceleration sensitivity, from which we anticipate a noise floor at nano-

Simple and fast field curvature measurement by depth from defocus using
electrowetting liquid lens
Authors: Jung Gyu Suk , Won Yong Hyub 
Published: May 2020

Field curvature, also called “Petzval field curvature,” is a defect in
the lens in which the object of a flat plane is not focused on the
image surface. Field curvature measurement is important in lens
performance tests. This paper presents an electrowetting liquid lens
based on the depth from defocus method for measuring field curvature.
This method uses only a pair of defocused images for a patterned flat
object, which are captured using the focus tuning function of the
electrowetting liquid lens. Image processing for calculating field
curvature is carried out using MATLAB. The results of the measurement
experiment demonstrated high accuracy of the 12 µm root mean square
error between the captured image surface and fitted curved image
surface. There is no need for complex equipment such as lasers,
microscopes, and telecentric systems. Because this system has no
mechanical movement for focus tuning, it is simple and shows fast
measurement time compared with other conventional methods.
Spatially polarization-modulated ellipsometry based on the vectorial optical field and image processing
Authors: Gao Chao , Lei Bing 
Published: May 2020

We report a new (to the best of our knowledge) ellipsometric measurement scheme called spatially polarization-modulated ellipsometry (SPME), which is based on the vectorial optical field and digital image processing. A zero-order vortex half-wave retarder (ZVHR) is employed to generate the vectorial optical field and analyze the elliptically polarized light reflected by a thin film; further, an analyzer is set after the ZVHR to form an hourglass intensity pattern due to the spatially polarization modulation; then, the film’s ellipsometric angles can be obtained by processing the hourglass intensity image. By analyzing the working principle of SPME, we have found that the film’s ellipsometric angles are determined by the bright areas’ azimuth angle and contrast of the modulated images, and their mathematical relationships have been deduced and provided. To reduce the adverse effects of image noise and improve the measurement precision, an improved operation mode of SPME is presented by processing the modulated images with their bright areas’ azimuth locating at near 45° or 135° and 0° or 90°. Numerical analyzing studies have been carried out on the

films to validate the feasibility of SPME, and the simulation experiments indicate that the SPME can operate well, even though obvious noise has been added to the modulated intensity image and the measuring error of film thickness and refractive index were less than 0.1 nm and 0.001, respectively.

Published: May 2020

All-dielectric metasurfaces offer a promising way to control amplitude, polarization, and phase of light. However, ultraviolet (UV) component metasurfaces are rarely reported due to significant absorption loss for most dielectric materials and the required smaller footprint or feature size. Here, we demonstrate broadband UV focusing and routing in both transmission and reflection modes in simulations by adopting aluminum nitride (AlN) with ultrawide bandgap and a waveplate metasurface structure. As for experiments, the on-axis, off-axis focusing characteristics in transmission mode have been investigated at representative UVA (375 nm) wavelength for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Furthermore, we fabricated a UV transmission router for monowavelength, guiding UV light to the designated different spatial positions of the same or different focal planes. Our work is meaningful for the development of UV photonics components and devices and would facilitate the integration and miniaturization of UV nanophotonics.
Environment, intention and intergenerational music making: Facilitating participatory music making in diverse contexts of community music
Authors: Anderson Kirstin , Willingham Lee 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Current conversations and debates amongst community music and music educational practitioners have engendered the need to identify and describe qualities and leadership strategies that could be expected essential for those in teaching, facilitating and/or working in diverse settings, including carceral environments. Common areas are first explored: where are we working (context)?, with whom are we working (people/community)? and given an understanding of the first two questions, how do we do it (strategies)? These framing questions assist in locating common characteristics of making music in various settings, but also point to the distinctive features of each of the three contexts. By establishing conditions for authentic experience, safety in exploring and risk-taking as well as defining key strategies for successful engagement, instructional approaches are identified and applied. Pedagogical practices that include instructional strategies such as guided discovery, collaborative learning and narrative dialogue are identified. Facilitation processes such as, for example, demonstrating/modelling, coaching, Socratic direction and facilitating/enabling are models of musical intervention that create space for acquiring and using lifelong skills in participatory contexts. Whether in schools, communities or prisons, the positive experience of music making thrives where the flexibility of the teacher/facilitator, the reflexivity of the innovator, the foundational knowledge that research and practice provide and the ultimate enhancement of the community are fully in place.
Perception Policies for Intelligent Virtual Agents
Authors: Souza De Freitas Giancarlo , Gelaim Thiago Ângelo , Rodrigues Pires De Mello Rodrigo , Azambuja Silveira Ricardo 
Published: May 2020

Agents deployed to dynamic environments, such as virtual and augmented reality, need specific mechanisms to capture relevant features from the environment. These mechanisms enable agents to avoid process some useless information and act quickly. The primary goal of this work is to investigate the perception policies of an agent situated in a virtual environment. Perception policies allow giving more priority to sensors perceiving the changes occurring in the environment. Based on the proposed model, each sensor follows a strategy that can change its priority in the overall system. We developed two policies to change the sensors prioritization. The performance evaluation of the proposed model consists of comparing both approaches in a highly dynamic environment.

Published: May 2020

INTRODUCTION:
Normal response to multiple rapid swallows (MRS) during high-resolution esophageal manometry is deglutitive inhibition; opioids may interfere with this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to MRS in patients on opioids, not on opioids, and healthy controls.

METHODS:
Response to MRS was evaluated for complete vs impaired inhibition in 72 chronic opioid users, 100 patients not on opioids, and 24 healthy controls.

RESULTS:
Impaired deglutitive inhibition was significantly more frequent in chronic opioid users compared with patients not on opioids and healthy controls (54% vs 14% vs 0%; P < 0.0001).

DISCUSSION:
Impaired deglutitive inhibition during MRS is frequent in opioid users, supporting that opioids interfere with esophageal inhibitory signals.

ENDOCRINOLOGY IN THE TIME OF COVID-19: Management of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism

Published: May 2020

AbstractThis manuscript provides guidance on the management of thyroid dysfunction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Autoimmune thyroid diseases are not linked to increased risks of COVID-19. Uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis may result in more severe complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection, including thyroid storm. The management of patients with a new diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is best undertaken with a block-and-replace regimen due to limited biochemical testing availability. Antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced neutropenia may favour the progression of COVID-19 and symptoms of infection may be confused with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The withdrawal of ATDs and urgent measurement of neutrophils should be considered in case of flu-like manifestations occurring in the initial months of treatment. Urgent surgery or 131-I may be undertaken in selected cases of uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis. Patients with COVID-19 infection may present with conjunctivitis, which could cause diagnostic difficulties in patients with new or existing Graves' ophthalmopathy. Patients who are on replacement treatment with thyroid hormones should ensure they have sufficient supply of medication. The usual advice to increase dosage of levothyroxine during pregnancy should be adhered to. Many newly presenting and previously diagnosed patients with thyroid dysfunction can be managed through virtual telephone or video clinics supported by a dedicated nurse-led service, depending on available facilities.
Between Kantian Rationalism and Moral Mysticism: The Search for the Grounding of Morality in the Philosophy of A. Jokubaitis
Authors: Noreikaitė Aistė 
Published: May 2020

Although it is common to associate the thought of A. Jokubaitis with political philosophy, this article argues that his texts also allow us to talk about a specific moral philosophy of A. Jokubaitis. At the center of it we find an attempt to articulate and discuss the grounding ideas of morality. The article argues that the first two ideas – an idea of unconditional character of morality and an idea of ontological grounding – are related to Kant’s influence on A. Jokubaitis philosophy. These two ideas allow us to explain morality as an autonomous part of reality, which is different from the empirical one but nonetheless real. This part of reality is grounded in the first-person perspective of a moral subject and can be characterized by implicit normativity and unconditionality. The first-person perspective structures a radically different relation to our reality, which allows us to be agents, not simply spectators. Such an interpretation of Kant allows to associate A. Jokubaitis with his contemporary Kantians, such as Ch. Korsgaard, B. Herman, O. O’Neill, and A. Reath. However, the third idea, the one of a person, which becomes more visible in his book Politinis idiotas, transcends the Kantian conception of practical reason and encourages to perceive morality and its grounding in a much wider context. The concept of a person allows A. Jokubaitis to distance himself from Kantian rationalism and integrate social and mystical aspects of morality, which he has always found important.
Family Adverse Experiences and Psychotropic Polypharmacy Among US Youth: 2009–2015
Authors: dosReis Susan , Zhang Chengchen , Qato Danya M. , Camelo Castillo Wendy , Reeves Gloria 
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE:
To determine if adverse family factors are associated with a higher likelihood of psychotropic polypharmacy among US youth with a mental health condition.

METHODS:
The 2009–2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data were used to identify family characteristics of 5136 youth aged ≤18 years with an emotional or behavioral health condition. Family adversity was based on family size, number of parents in the household, parental education and income, and parent-reported physical and/or cognitive or mental health disability. Cluster analysis identified family adversity subgroups. Polypharmacy was defined as 3 or more psychotropic classes (eg, stimulants, antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and sedatives) in at least 1 interview round in a calendar year. Weighted logistic regression evaluated associations between family adversity and psychotropic polypharmacy among youth.

RESULTS:
Nearly half (47.8%) of youth lived with parents who had a disability. Parents in the least socioeconomically disadvantaged cluster mainly had a mental illness, and 94% of parents in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged cluster had a parent-reported physical and/or cognitive disability and mental illness. Among youth, mood disorder (24.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.6%–16.0%), antidepressant use (16.0%; 95% CI: 10.6%–21.5%), and antipsychotic use (7.5%; 95% CI: 5.4%–9.6%) were higher in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged cluster relative to the other clusters. Approximately 3% of youth received psychotropic polypharmacy. The odds of psychotropic polypharmacy were 2.7 (95% CI: 1.1–6.4) times greater among youth in the most relative to the least socioeconomically disadvantaged cluster.

CONCLUSIONS:
Higher use of psychotropic polypharmacy among youth with parents who have multiple disabilities raises concerns about oversight and monitoring of complex psychotropic treatment.

Early Predictors of Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation: A Novel Perspective on an Enduring Problem
Authors: Farrington Crystal A. , Robbin Michelle L. , Lee Timmy , Barker-Finkel Jill , Allon Michael 
Published: May 2020

Significance Statement
As currently used, preoperative ultrasound mapping for vascular access planning has not improved arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation rates. In their retrospective analysis involving 300 patients receiving a new AVF, the authors found that preoperative vascular diameter demonstrated a linear association with AVF maturation and did not correspond to a single threshold value. They also found that the preoperative arterial diameter, not venous diameter as generally believed, was the most significant predictor of AVF maturation. In addition, two previously unidentified factors, systolic BP and left ventricular ejection fraction, predicted unassisted AVF maturation. These findings suggest that a greater emphasis on the preoperative arterial diameter as a continuous variable, as well as consideration of the patient’s baseline systolic BP and cardiac function, may improve AVF maturation rates.

Background
Preoperative ultrasound mapping is routinely used to select vessels meeting minimal threshold diameters for surgical arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation but fails to improve AVF maturation rates. This suggests a need to reassess the preoperative ultrasound criteria used to optimize AVF maturation.

Methods
We retrospectively identified 300 catheter-dependent patients on hemodialysis with a new AVF created between 2010 and 2016. We then evaluated the associations of preoperative vascular measurements and hemodynamic factors with unassisted AVF maturation (successful use for dialysis without prior intervention) and overall maturation (successful use with or without prior intervention). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify preoperative factors associated with unassisted and overall AVF maturation.

Results
Unassisted AVF maturation associated with preoperative arterial diameter (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.50 per 1-mm increase; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.23 to 1.83), preoperative systolic BP (aOR, 1.16 per 10-mm Hg increase; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.28), and left ventricular ejection fraction (aOR, 1.07 per 5% increase; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.13). Overall AVF maturation associated with preoperative arterial diameter (aOR, 1.36 per 1-mm increase; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.66) and preoperative systolic BP (aOR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.30). Using receiver operating curves, the combination of preoperative arterial diameter, systolic BP, and left ventricular ejection fraction was fairly predictive of unassisted maturation (area under the curve, 0.69). Patient age, sex, race, diabetes, vascular disease, obesity, and AVF location were not associated with maturation.

Conclusions
Preoperative arterial diameter may be an under-recognized predictor of AVF maturation. Further study evaluating the effect of preoperative arterial diameter and other hemodynamic factors on AVF maturation is needed.
