Published: January 2021

Background: The National Ambulance Service (NAS) is at the forefront of Ireland’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As directed in Ireland’s National Action Plan, NAS significantly expanded prehospital services, including provision of a novel COVID-19 testing service. Additionally, other health services rely on NAS’s capacity to assess, transport and/or treat COVID-19 patients. In a climate of innovation and adaptation, NAS needs to learn from international ambulance services and share experience. Evaluation of the NAS response to COVID-19 is required to facilitate evidence-based planning for subsequent waves or future pandemics, and to identify innovative practice for mainstreaming into routine service provision. Aims: This project aims to test the utility of novel information networks and develop a tool that is tailored to evaluating pandemic-imposed change in an emergency medical service. Methods: The first aim will be to introduce and measure the impact of ambulance-specific research and information updates for NAS. Secondly, the usefulness to members of an international network of senior ambulance and research personnel (‘AMBULANCE+COVID19’ network), and the clarity and feasibility of a short-survey instrument, the Emergency Medical Services Five Question Survey (EMS-5QS), will be assessed. Finally, an evaluation framework for assessing pandemic-imposed change will be developed to enable NAS determine innovations: (1) for reactivation in another wave or new pandemic; (2) to be sustained as part of routine service. The framework will be developed in collaboration with NAS and the National Quality Improvement Team. The Research Team includes expertise from academia, ambulance services and the National Public Health Emergency Team. Conclusions: This project will facilitate the prompt introduction of information sharing processes to an emergency medical service and assess the impact of those processes. By developing a process for evaluating pandemic-imposed change in NAS, this project will add to the toolbox for future pandemic planning in emergency medical services internationally.

The value of TI-RADS combined with superb microvascular imaging in distinguishing thyroid nodules: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Wang Cong , Lin Mingxin , Zhong Lin , Tian Congliang 
Published: January 2021

BackgroundAs a novel ultrasonic technique, superb microvascular imaging (SMI) can quickly, simply and noninvasively observe the microvascular distribution in a tumor and evaluate the microvascular perfusion. Previous studies have shown that SMI can detect the blood flow signals of neovascularization in tumors and increase the sensitivity for detecting thyroid cancer. However, the results of these studies have been contradictory, and the sample sizes were too small. Therefore, the present meta-analysis will aim at evaluating the value of a thyroid imaging report and data system (TI-RADS) combined with SMI in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.MethodsWe will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Chinese biomedical databases from their inceptions to the June 31, 2020. Two authors will independently carry out searching literature records; scanning titles, abstracts, and full texts; collecting data; and assessing risk of bias. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata14.0 software will be used for data analysis.ResultsThis systematic review will evaluate the value of TI-RADS combined with SMI in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Systematic review registrationINPLASY202070113.
Reduction of hyperoxic acute lung injury in mice by Formononetin
Authors: Chen Yin , Wei Dong , Zhao Jin , Xu Xiangnan , Chen Jingyu 
Published: January 2021

Background
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features of Formononetin, an isoflavone constituent extracted from traditional Chinese medicine, have been reported. The present study investigated that whether Formononetin plays a benefit on hyperoxic ALI.

Methods
C57BL/6 mice were exposed to hyperoxia for 72 h to produce experimental hyperoxic ALI model. Formononetin or vehicle was administrated intraperitoneally. Samples from the lung were collected at 72 h post hyperoxia exposure for further study. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells isolated from the lung of C57BL/6 mice were used for in vitro study.

Results
Formononetin pretreatment notably attenuated hyperoxia-induced elevating pulmonary water content, upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine levels and increasing infiltration of neutrophil in the lung. Western blot analyses showed that Formononetin enhanced the expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) which is a key transcription factor regulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Formononetin increased HO-1 expression and activity compared with vehicle-treated animals. Moreover, Formononetin reversed hyperoxia-caused the reduction of M2 macrophage polarization. However, pretreatment of a HO-1 inhibitor reduced the protective effect of Formononetin on hyperoxic ALI. Cell study showed that the Formononetin-induced upregulation of HO-1 was abolished when the Nrf2 was silenced.

Conclusions
Formononetin pretreatment reduces hyperoxia-induced ALI via Nrf2/HO-1-mediated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Jones and Woglom (2014) pointed to the tensions that sometimes exist around using comics and graphic novels as literary work in the classroom. It is from this noted tension that we arrive at a call for both critical and empirical studies that examine this issue more closely. If, indeed, graphic novels have potential for instruction, then in what ways are teachers using them across educational settings? Beyond popularity, how do children and adolescents respond to these works? How do educators align themselves with the counter-narrative of comics as texts worthy of analysis and exploration, and how do they send this message to critics of the medium? In what ways do graphic novels sit within the context of antiracist and social justice-oriented pedagogy?

La mejora de la expresión oral en los programas AICLE / Bilingües
Authors: Hompanera Lanzós M.ª Isabel 
Published: January 2021

This piece or research presents the results of a longitudinal case study carried out among a group of 71 students, 28 of whom are CLIL students and 43 are Non CLIL students in one Secondary Education state school into the effects of CLIL method in the learning of English as a foreign language (oral skills).The evolution of the linguistic development of both groups is traced from Primary School to Secondary School through the administration of different tests. In addition to these intergroup comparisons, intragroup development is also examined to determine the evolution of both CLIL and non CLIL students across educational levels. In this case, the study has an eclectic approach as for the gathering and analysis of data. This study shows the CLIL approach improves the linguistic communicative competence of students but it is necessary to continue research to determine which factors are responsible for this improvement within the CLIL program and so implement the necessary changes in the process of FL teaching to achieve full development in our students’ oral expression skills in a foreign language.
Equivalent Point-Source Ground-Motion Model for Subduction Earthquakes in Japan
Authors: Hassani Behzad , Atkinson Gail Marie 
Published: January 2021

ABSTRACTWe use an equivalent point-source ground-motion model (GMM) to characterize subduction earthquakes (interface and in-slab) in Japan. The model, which is calibrated using the newly published Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) Subduction database (Bozorgnia et al., 2020), provides a useful complement to the more traditional empirical NGA models developed from the same database. The utility of the point-source model approach lies in its ability to aid in the interpretation of observed trends in the data and to guide modifications to the GMM for application to other regions having fewer data. Key trends in the data that are parameterized with the model include: (a) the enrichment of high-frequency amplitudes for in-slab versus interface events, as modeled by a depth-dependent stress parameter, and (b) attenuation attributes that vary with event type and region, including consideration of fore-arc versus back-arc settings. The developed GMMs of this study are applicable for M 4.5–9.2 for interface events, and M 4–8.5 for in-slab earthquakes, for rupture distances (Drup) from 10 to 600 km, and for 100  m/s&lt;VS30&lt;1500  m/s (time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m).
