Beyond Cash Value: Promoting Real‐World Competence in the Global Turn
Authors: O'Brien Traci S. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn the literature on intercultural competence, such competence, or set of competencies, is desirable precisely because a globalized world needs world citizens who are at home everywhere and can deal effectively with alterity – presumably in order to be agents of positive change. To remain relevant, we as teachers in German Studies need theoretical and pragmatic justifications for what we do in and outside the classroom in order to prepare students for the reality of our 21st‐century world. At the same time, one needs to heed the call of the global turn carefully lest one replaces globalization with homogenization. After thorough research on this topic, some of which I will review in this article, one cannot avoid a surprising conclusion: Without selling out to it, we in the humanities have a lot to learn from the business model in the conceptualization of goals, the implementation of standards, and the identification of the proper assessment tool(s). The root of this problem, I assert, is the theoretical murkiness surrounding claims about value in the humanities (and the social sciences). Ultimately, this article uses comparison with the business model to advocate discernment about claims of value with solid foundations in the real world.
Mit Ruhe und Gelassenheit: Imagination, Movement, and Relaxation in the German Language Classroom
Authors: Jany Berit 
Published: May 2020

AbstractSchools and universities continuously face new generations of students who struggle with stress management. Many learners have sedentary lifestyles in which they are deprived of somatic learning opportunities. Other learners experience feelings of dissociation and sensations of disembodiment that have a negative impact on their learning. This article presents a way to establish a connection between mind, body, and language that can help students and teachers counter the negative effects of stress in our high‐pressure world. The use of imagination, movement, and active relaxation encourages and sustains a body‐mind integration that offers learners of German a somatic learning experience. The proposed movement and relaxation elements serve as tools for students to comprehend and speak German in a relaxed atmosphere that enables them to self‐regulate their stress and anxiety levels and explore their own somatic psychology.

Published: May 2020

BackgroundCirculating anti‐keratinocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)G targeting desmosomal proteins have been identified in people and dogs with pemphigus foliaceus (PF). By contrast, detection attempts in PF‐affected cats have been largely unsuccessful.Hypothesis/ObjectivesTo detect circulating anti‐keratinocyte autoantibodies in PF‐affected cats and determine their titres and tissue‐staining patterns.AnimalsThirty PF‐affected cats were compared to 11 specific‐pathogen free, 15 healthy and 31 allergic cats.Methods and materialsSera were tested by indirect immunofluorescence on canine footpad and buccal mucosal substrates.ResultsCirculating, anti‐keratinocyte IgG with a suprabasilar, web‐like (intercellular) pattern were detected in the majority of PF‐affected cats (23 of 30, 77%), some allergic cats (six of 31, 19%) and one healthy cat (7%). Both footpad epidermis and buccal mucosa were positive in the majority of seropositive PF‐affected cats (21 of 23, 91%), and in only one of six (17%) seropositive allergic cats. Staining was limited to the footpad in the remaining seropositive PF‐affected and allergic cats and one seropositive healthy cat. Reciprocal IgG titres were significantly higher in PF‐affected cats compared to controls (Dunn’s post‐test, P < 0.0001). Anti‐keratinocyte IgM, IgA or IgE were not detected in any sera.Conclusions and clinical importanceThese results confirm the presence of circulating anti‐keratinocyte IgG in a majority of PF‐affected cats and in a small percentage of healthy and allergic cats. Although the molecular target and pathogenic nature of the antibodies remains unknown, the detection of positive immunostaining on buccal mucosal tissue, in addition to the footpad, suggests that the major target antigen of feline PF differs from that reported in dogs.

AbstractObjectivesTo document ophthalmic findings, Schirmer's tear test I (STT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) values for anesthetized chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).Animals StudiedTen captive chimpanzees from Zoo Knoxville and Chattanooga Zoo.ProceduresTen chimpanzees were anesthetized for annual physical examinations, blood collection, and ophthalmic examination. Each was anesthetized with intramuscular (IM) injections of dexmedetomidine, midazolam, and ketamine. Ophthalmic findings and STT and IOP values in addition to general health information were recorded for each chimpanzee. Pupillary diameter was measured after topical tropicamide administration. A Shapiro‐Wilk test of normality was done for age, weight, STT values, IOP values, and pupil size.ResultsAges ranged from 11 to 42 years. Weight range was 40.9‐83.6 kg. The mean STT was 13.4 ± 5.3 mm/min. The mean IOP was 14 ± 4.2 mm Hg. Seven of the 10 chimpanzees were considered geriatric, and each had perilimbal lipid deposits. Sedative‐associated miosis was successfully counteracted with a regimen of repeated applications of tropicamide, enabling complete fundic examination.ConclusionsA complete ophthalmic examination can be done on anesthetized chimpanzees with the protocol used in this study.

AbstractBackgroundOne‐half of all orthopedic surgeries require bone grafting for successful outcomes in fusions, reconstructive procedures, and the treatment of osseous defects resulting from trauma, tumor, infection, or congenital deformity. Autologous bone grafts are taken from the patient's own body and remain the “gold standard” graft choice but are limited in supply and impart significant patient morbidity. Xenograft bone is an attractive alternative from donors with controlled biology, in large supply and at a theoretically lower cost. Clinical results with xenograft bone for orthopedic applications have been mixed in the limited clinical trials published.MethodsIn the current review, we introduce fundamental principles of bone grafting, systematically review all orthopedic clinical studies reporting outcomes on patients transplanted with xenograft bone, and we present our own clinical results from patients grafted with bovine bone in foot and ankle reconstructive procedures.ResultsThirty‐one clinical studies were identified for review and the majority (47%) were from spine surgery literature. Favorable results were reported in 44% of studies while 47% of studies reported poor outcomes and discouraged use of xenograft bone products. In our own clinical series, xenograft failed to integrate with host bone in 58% of cases and persistent pain was reported in 83% of cases. ConclusionsThis is the first systematic review of clinical results reported after bone xenotransplantation for orthopaedic surgery applications. Current literature does not support the use of xenograft bone products and our institution’s results are consistent with this conclusion. Our laboratory has reported promising pre‐clinical results with a xenograft product derived from porcine cancellous bone, but additional testing is required before considering clinical translation.

AbstractBackgroundGiven the persistence and the worldwide shortage of organs from both the deceased and living donors for clinical transplantation, pig organs or tissues hold immense promises for the patients on the waiting list, and xenotransplantation is deemed as one of the solutions to the organ shortage crisis. Indeed, the emerging gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, have led to tremendous progress in the generation of genetically modified pigs to overcome many barriers associated.MethodWe presented a description of the xenotransplantation regulations in China and the related products.ResultSeveral groups in China have successfully generated transgenic pigs with the elimination of immune rejection or coagulation‐related genes, and both pre‐clinical and clinical studies have been reported. However, the pre‐clinical evaluation and clinical application of porcine xenotransplantation raises ethical and regulatory considerations. Herein, in this review, we will summarize and discuss the progress in xenotransplantation in China and xenotransplantation‐related products from the regulatory perspective.ConclusionThere has been remarkable progress in both the genetically modified pigs and pre‐clinical studies in China, and China will be the first country to successfully fulfill the xenotransplantation from pig organ to human in the near future.
Fault Diagnostics of Roller Bearings Using Dimension Theory
Authors: Kumbhar Surajkumar G. , Sudhagar P Edwin 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Rolling bearings accomplishes a smoother force transmission between relative components of high production volume systems. An impending fault may cause system malfunction and its maturation lead to a catastrophic failure of the system that increases the possibility of unscheduled maintenance or an expensive shutdown. These critical states demand a robust failure diagnosis scheme for bearings. The present paper demonstrates a novel way to develop a dynamic model for the rotor-bearing system using dimensional analysis (DA) considering significant geometric, operating, and thermal parameters of the system. The vibration responses of faulty spherical roller bearings are investigated under various operating conditions for validation of the developed model. Multivariable regression analysis is performed to expose the potential of the approach in the detection of the bearing failure. Results obtained unveil the simple and reliable nature of the dynamic modeling using DA.

Abstract
Gas content is one of the most important parameters of shale reservoir evaluation and productivity evaluation. In order to obtain gas content accurately, based on the first law of Fick and material balance equation, mathematical model of gas dispersion flow in shale reservoir is established, analytical solution is obtained, and evaluation method of gas dispersion in shale reservoir is formed. On the basis of this study, the onsite desorption gas measuring device and testing process for coring shale gas wells are designed, the time-varying shale desorption gas is obtained, and the residual gas of shale is measured by the crushing method. The calculation formula of shale gas content is obtained by fitting the test data, the shale gas loss, and total gas content are calculated, and then analyzed the influences of the shale gas-bearing properties and gas content on single well production and geological reserves by combining the data of shale absorbed gas. The results show that the gas content calculated by the new method is about 6.54% more than that of log interpretation, and about 7.57% on average more than that obtained by traditional empirical method. The gas content proportion of long Yi1 subsegmental small layers 1 and 2 is smaller than that of long Yi1 subsegmental small layers 3 and 4 and long Yi2 subsegmental. It is considered that the amount of shale gas lost is large, because of the pressure release during the coring, and the comparative error of gas content obtained by several methods is within the acceptable range. So the new method can be used as an important mean to obtain shale gas content. The most direct factors affecting gas content are complex: Buried depth, porosity, total organic carbon content, water saturation, and formation temperature. Shale gas content is the material basis of single well production and geological reserves of shale gas, and it is also the decisive factor. Therefore, the accurate evaluation of shale gas content is one of the key techniques to evaluate shale gas well productivity and shale gas resources, which is of great significance.
A Constitutive Model for Binary-Solvent Gels
Authors: Ma Jie , Jia Zheng , Qu Shaoxing 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
A hydrogel is a network of polymeric chains hosting a large amount of the single solvent, namely, water. The high degree of hydration not only endows hydrogels with desired attributes such as superb biocompatibility but it also yields disadvantages, including high volatility and inability to host hydrophobic drugs. The need for enhancing the versatility of hydrogels to meet requirements of diverse applications has led to the fabrication of binary-solvent gels (e.g., gels in aqueous ethanol) with the hope to capitalize on both the merits of water and other organic solvents. In this paper, to understand the fundamental mechanics of binary-solvent gels, we develop a constitutive model by formulating the free energy function based on the extended Flory–Huggins lattice theory and deriving the equilibrium equations. We then apply the model to examine the mechanical behaviors of binary-solvent gels under mechanical forces, or subject to geometric constraints. The model can consistently capture some experimental findings on binary-solvent gels such as the cononsolvency effect. In particular, we employ the model to analyze a bilayer soft actuator consisting of a binary-solvent gel film attaching to a passive polymer substrate. The proposed model may provide insights into the design of novel soft machines based on binary-solvent gels.
Teamwork in a pandemic: insights from management research
Authors: Mayo Anna T 
Published: May 2020

BackgroundAmidst the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19, it is both critical and increasingly difficult for healthcare professionals to engage in the teamwork that will underlie an effective response to the pandemic. The simultaneous need for and challenge to teamwork, though, is not unique to healthcare.ResultsDrawing on management and organisational research conducted in healthcare as well as other industries, this article offers an overview of key, and robust, findings that highlight both what teamwork looks like and how to achieve it. I focus on two aspects of teamwork (the coordination of expertise and communication), and I review how leaders can jumpstart them by leveraging mechanisms including framing the work, using communication structures and engaging in leader inclusiveness.

Infection by Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & de Not., the causal agent of blackleg of canola (Brassica napus L.), can result in seedling death, foliar lesions, and the development of stem cankers on adult plants. Strobilurin fungicides such as pyraclostrobin are popular, as they are effective against a broad range of fungal pathogens, have novel target specificity, and translaminar activity within the plant. The seed treatment Prosper FX (carbathiin + trifloxystrobin + metalaxyl) and an experimental formulation BAS 720 F (pyraclostrobin + fluxapyroxad + metalaxyl) were evaluated for their efficacy in managing blackleg when applied alone or in combination with the foliar fungicides Priaxor (pyraclostrobin + fluxapyroxad) or Tilt 250 EC (propiconazole). Experiments were conducted with the blackleg-susceptible cultivar ‘Westar’ and the moderately resistant cultivar ‘Dekalb 73-15 RR’ under greenhouse and field conditions in 2012 and 2013. In one greenhouse trial, all fungicide treatments significantly reduced stem blackleg severity on ‘73-15’ and ‘Westar’ compared with the inoculated–untreated controls. During 3 of 4 site-years, the combination of the experimental seed treatment BAS 720 F and Priaxor significantly reduced stem disease severity relative to the inoculated–untreated control by 60%–77% for ‘73-15’ and by 50%–75% for ‘Westar’. This treatment also resulted in a significant yield increase relative to the inoculated–untreated control in ‘Westar’ in 2 site-years by 24% and 56%. The results of the study suggest a reduction in blackleg symptoms and improved yields when canola is treated with a combination of seed and foliar fungicides, especially when cropping a susceptible cultivar.
Revisiting the B-physics anomalies in R-parity violating MSSM
Authors: Hu Quan-Yi , Yang Ya-Dong , Zheng Min-Di 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn recent years, several deviations from the Standard Model predictions in semileptonic decays of B-meson might suggest the existence of new physics which would break the lepton-flavour universality. In this work, we have explored the possibility of using muon sneutrinos and right-handed sbottoms to solve these B-physics anomalies simultaneously in R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that the photonic penguin induced by exchanging sneutrino can provide sizable lepton flavour universal contribution due to the existence of logarithmic enhancement for the first time. This prompts us to use the two-parameter scenario $$(C^\mathrm{V}_9, \, C^\mathrm{U}_9)$$(C9V,C9U) to explain $$b \rightarrow s \ell ^+ \ell ^-$$b→sℓ+ℓ- anomaly. Finally, the numerical analyses show that the muon sneutrinos and right-handed sbottoms can explain $$b \rightarrow s \ell ^+ \ell ^-$$b→sℓ+ℓ- and $$R(D^{(*)})$$R(D(∗)) anomalies simultaneously, and satisfy the constraints of other related processes, such as $$B \rightarrow K^{(*)} \nu \bar{\nu }$$B→K(∗)νν¯ decays, $$B_s-\bar{B}_s$$Bs-B¯s mixing, Z decays, as well as $$D^0 \rightarrow \mu ^+ \mu ^-$$D0→μ+μ-, $$\tau \rightarrow \mu \rho ^0$$τ→μρ0, $$B \rightarrow \tau \nu $$B→τν, $$D_s \rightarrow \tau \nu $$Ds→τν, $$\tau \rightarrow K \nu $$τ→Kν, $$\tau \rightarrow \mu \gamma $$τ→μγ, and $$\tau \rightarrow \mu \mu \mu $$τ→μμμ decays.
Exploring the effect of Lorentz invariance violation with the currently running long-baseline experiments
Authors: Majhi Rudra , Chembra Soumya , Mohanta Rukmani 
Published: May 2020

AbstractNeutrinos are the fundamental particles, blind to all kind of interactions except the weak and gravitational. Hence, they can propagate very long distances without any deviation. This characteristic property can thus provide an ideal platform to investigate Planck suppressed physics through their long distance propagation. In this work, we intend to investigate CPT violation through Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the long-baseline accelerator based neutrino experiments. Considering the simplest four-dimensional Lorentz violating parameters, for the first time, we obtain the sensitivity limits on the LIV parameters from the currently running long-baseline experiments T2K and $$\hbox {NO}\nu \hbox {A}$$NOνA. In addition to this, we show their effects on mass hierarchy and CP violation sensitivities by considering $$\hbox {NO}\nu \hbox {A}$$NOνA as a case study. We find that the sensitivity limits on LIV parameters obtained from T2K are much weaker than that of $$\hbox {NO}\nu \hbox {A}$$NOνA and the synergy of T2K and $$\hbox {NO}\nu \hbox {A}$$NOνA can improve these sensitivities. All these limits are slightly weaker ($$2 \sigma $$2σ level) compared to the values extracted from Super-Kamiokande experiment with atmospheric neutrinos. Moreover, we observe that the mass hierarchy and CPV sensitivities are either enhanced or deteriorated significantly in the presence of LIV as these sensitivities crucially depend on the new CP-violating phases. We also present the correlation between $$\sin ^2 \theta _{23}$$sin2θ23 and the LIV parameter $$|a_{\alpha \beta }|$$|aαβ|, as well as $$\delta _{CP}$$δCP and $$|a_{\alpha \beta }|$$|aαβ|.

Published: May 2020

Objetivo: Verificar a incidência de near miss neonatal (NMN), indicador de “quase morte” por complicações pré ou pós-natais, em uma maternidade de médio porte no Nordeste brasileiro. Modelo do estudo: Coorte retrospectiva, com abordagem indutiva e procedimentos descritivos. Metodologia: Analisou-se prontuários de nascidos no mês de janeiro de 2016, identificando-se os casos de NMN conforme os seguintes critérios: idade gestacional < 32 semanas, recém-nascido (RN) que necessitou de manobra de reanimação ou deprimido, peso ao nascimento < 1500 g, necessidade de cuidados em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal (UTIN), necessidade de ventilação mecânica, escore de Apgar no 1º e 5º minutos < 7. Para verificar a associação entre as variáveis maternas e o diagnóstico de NMN, foi utilizado o teste t de Student. Resultados: Foram avaliados 120 RN. Dentre eles, 26 nascidos de parto normal e 94 de parto cesáreo. A média de idade materna foi de 26,61 (±7,9). A maioria das genitoras apresentava doenças cardiovasculares (71,7%) e 70,8% pré-natal com número de consultas inferior a sete. Identificou-se uma incidência de 30% de NMN, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (55%). A taxa de internação na UTIN foi de 17,5%. O menor número de filhos vivos e médias superiores de partos cesáreos apresentaram associação significativa (p < 0,05) com o NMN. Conclusão: O indicador de NMN apresentou uma elevada incidência, mesmo em hospital de referência para gestação de alto risco, sendo um método de grande relevância para avaliação e prevenção de morbidades graves do RN.
