Abstract
We select 13 nearby spiral galaxies from the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey (NGLS) project and perform spectral energy distribution fitting for each galaxy applying two-component modified blackbody models on a global scale aim to probe the potential submillimeter (submm) excess. We find that NGC 2976, NGC 3351, and NGC 4631 show excess emission at 850 μm when using β
c = 2.0. The contributions of CO(3–2), free–free emission or synchrotron radiation cannot explain their 850 μm excess. Our results suggest that a submm excess at 850 μm may be more easily detected for galaxies with faint total infrared luminosity and low cold dust mass. The colder temperature of cold dust, the more radiation of dust there is at 850 μm. The submm excess are prone to be detected in spiral galaxies with low stellar mass. As the metallicity of galaxies become poor, the submm excess is more obvious.

Authors: Mitchell-Brown Fay 
Published: August 2020

Background:
An increase of ethnic minorities in the United States heightens concerns for health disparities. International service-learning provides an immersion in a community to identify issues related to culture and health. This study reports nursing students' experiences related to participation in an international service-learning project.

Method:
A qualitative phenomenological design was used. Twenty participants who immersed in the community for 9 days were interviewed. Two semistructured focus interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results:
Four themes emerged: Value Communication, Appreciate Differences, Provide Education, and Accept Humanity.

Conclusion:

This experience highlights the needs of diverse communities and enhances participants' skills to deliver culturally competent care with better education, compassion, and communication. By exploring students' experiences, service-learning experiences may be better understood as a pedagogy for teaching cultural competency and improving health outcomes in diverse populations.

Transitioning an Advanced Practice Fellowship Curriculum to eLearning During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Pierce Lisa M. , Weber Meghan J. , Klein Colleen J. , Stoecker Brad A. 
Published: August 2020

Background:
The COVID-19 global pandemic brought mandatory shelter-in-place orders, disrupting traditional face-to-face teaching methods for advanced practice fellowship programs nationally, creating a challenge for fellowship program directors to preserve curriculum using nontraditional methods.

Method:
Using a variety of both web-based and app-based virtual platforms, a nationally accredited fellowship program converted traditional in-seat learning modalities to elearning platforms using both synchronous and asynchronous education.

Results:
Preliminary data indicate that knowledge acquisition and perceived fellow satisfaction are preserved despite the abrupt change to program delivery. Programmatic modifications were submitted to the American Nurse Credentialing Center for compliance and deemed as creative, innovative, and collaborative.

Conclusion:

Curriculum for advanced practice fellowship programs can be favorably converted to elearning using virtual platforms during a crisis. Through prompt reevaluation and restructuring, virtual platforms can replace in-seat didactic lectures, patient case studies, mentoring, and even simulation, while ensuring program continuation and compliance with accreditation standards.

Published: August 2020

Background: To assess the role of image guided percutaneous drainage of acute pancreatic collections in influencing the clinical outcome of patients. Subjects and Methods: This is a prospective study done in the department of intervention radiology, Narayana medical college. About 20 cases have been performed in our institution from January 2019 to December 2019. All these drainage procedures have been done under CT guidance. All these cases were strictly followed during their hospital course. Clinical success has been defined as control of sepsis and prevention of MODS without the requirement of surgical debridement. Results: Out of twenty cases, which we intervened, there was an improvement in clinical outcome in fourteen cases with the prevention of septic shock and multiorgan failure. Three cases were critically ill at the time of admission and succumbed to MODS (Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome). The other three cases required additional surgical intervention-debridement. In which, there was increased morbidity with delayed recovery in two cases, and one case developed MODS and expired. Conclusion: Image guided Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective technique to drain pancreatic collections. Adequate knowledge regarding the interpretation of imaging findings, time to intervene, adequate expertise for performing the procedure, close follow up with regular clinical assessment is vital in the management of patients in acute pancreatitis. Early and aggressive intervention helps reduce the morbidity and mortality by preventing the evolution of MODS.
A Study on Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Dengue Fever
Authors: Naidu Y. Thathayya , R. Kiranmai  
Published: August 2020

Background: Dengue Fever is an acute mosquito transmitted viral infection caused by one of the 4 serotypes of the genus flavivirus which has become a major international public health problem. The diagnosis of DF is often delayed owing to time taken for availability of serology test results. Moreover, this test is expensive and not widely available. Ultrasonography (USG) is a cheap, rapid and widely available non-invasive imaging method. In recent years several studies concluded that Ultrasonography of the chest and abdomen can be an important adjunct to clinical profile in diagnosis of DF and diagnosis can be made early in the course of the disease compared with other modes of diagnosis. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the ultrasound findings of dengue fever and also evaluate the specificity of gall bladder findings in dengue fever. Subjects and Methods: We conducted a prospective study in Govt Medical College& Hospital, Srikakulam and Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences, Amalapuram, A.P. Study included 50 patients referred to the department of Radio-Diagnosis and Imaging for Ultrasonography with clinical suspicion of dengue fever, during a period of July 2018 to December 2019. USG of the abdomen, pelvis and chest was performed in all cases and findings were noted. Dengue serology was performed later and all the ultrasound findings were correlated with dengue serology. Results: In our study of 50 patients all the patients studied were diagnosed with dengue fever based on dengue serology. In our study, 100% of our patients diagnosed with DF (by dengue serology) showed gall bladder wall thickening, 88% showed splenomegaly, 44% showed ascites. Pleural effusion was present in 30% of which 66.66% of pleural effusion was bilateral and the rest 33.33% was right sided. Isolated left sided pleural effusion was not found in our study. Hepatomegaly was present in 28% of our patients. In our study mortality and complications from dengue fever were not seen. Conclusion: Ultrasound findings in dengue fever are gall bladder wall thickening, splenomegaly, ascites, pleural effusion and hepatomegaly. In an area where DF is an epidemic, when Ultrasonography shows gall bladder wall thickening in a febrile patient with thrombocytopenia DF should be suggested On Ultrasonography, when there is gall bladder wall thickening, splenomegaly, ascites, and pleural effusion in a febrile patient with thrombocytopenia in a DF epidemic area a diagnosis of DF should be considered in a differential diagnosis until proved otherwise.

Airborne measurements and large-eddy simulations of small-scale gravity waves at the tropopause inversion layer over Scandinavia
Authors: Gisinger Sonja , Wagner Johannes , Witschas Benjamin 
Published: August 2020

Abstract. Coordinated airborne measurements were performed by two research aircraft – Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) Falcon and High Altitude and Long Range Aircraft (HALO) – in Scandinavia during the GW-LCYCLE II (Investigation of the life cycle of gravity waves) campaign in 2016 to investigate gravity wave processes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) region. A mountain wave event was probed over southern Scandinavia on 28 January 2016. The collected dataset constitutes a valuable combination of in situ measurements and horizontal- and altitude-resolved Doppler wind lidar and water vapour measurements with the differential absorption lidar (DIAL). In situ data at different flight altitudes and downward-pointing wind lidar measurements show pronounced changes of the horizontal scales in the vertical velocity field and of the leg-averaged momentum fluxes (MFs) in the UTLS region. The vertical velocity field was dominated by small horizontal scales with a decrease from around 20 to < 10 km in the vicinity of the tropopause inversion layer (TIL). These small scales were also found in the water vapour data and backscatter data of the DIAL. The leg-averaged MF profile determined from the wind lidar data is characterized by a pronounced kink of positive fluxes in the TIL and negative fluxes below. The largest contributions to the MF are from waves with scales > 30 km. The combination of the observations and idealized large-eddy simulations revealed the occurrence of interfacial waves having scales < 10 km on the tropopause inversion during the mountain wave event. The contribution of the interfacial waves to the leg-averaged MF is basically zero due to the phase relationship of their horizontal and vertical velocity perturbations. Interfacial waves have already been observed on boundary-layer inversions but their concept has not been applied to tropopause inversions so far. Our idealized simulations reveal that the TIL affects the vertical trend of leg-averaged MF of mountain waves and that interfacial waves can occur also on tropopause inversions. Our analyses of the horizontal- and altitude-resolved airborne observations confirm that interfacial waves actually do occur in the TIL. As predicted by linear theory, the horizontal scale of those waves is determined by the wind and stability conditions above the inversion. They are found downstream of the main mountain peaks and their MF profile varies around zero and can clearly be distinguished from the MF profile of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. Further, the idealized large-eddy simulations reveal that the presence of the TIL is crucial in producing this kind of trapped wave at tropopause altitude.

Published: August 2020

Background: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a disease with a high mortality rate, caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a bacteria transmitted to humans by infected ticks. In 2008 there was a Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) outbreak in the city of Mexicali, México, resulting in an increased mortality rate amongst the area population.
Methods: Case-series study of patients admitted to the General Hospital of Mexicali between 2014 and 2019 with a confirmed diagnosis of RMSF. Mortality was compared dividing the population on those ≤20 and younger than ˃21 years of age.
Results: A total of 129 patients’ records during a 5-year period whose diagnosis was RMSF confirmed with PCR were included. Mortality was compared among patients admitted who were younger than ≤20 years of age with that among patients who were older than ˃20 years of age (61 versus 68 respectively), the latter being higher with an OR 4.2 (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: RMSF in hospitalized patients has a high mortality rate in spite of early treatment in all age groups, without showing any predominance in gender. However, patients older than 20 years of age had a higher mortality rate than those younger than 20 years, without any predominance in gender.
How do Lawyers Engineer and Develop LegalTech Projects? A Story of Opportunities, Platforms, Creative Rationalities, and Strategies
Authors: Dubois Christophe 
Published: August 2020

Over the last 15 years, the working context of lawyers has undergone many changes. Evolving in an increasingly competitive, deregulated, and globalized market, they are subject to higher tax pressure while being exposed to unbridled technological innovation. Indeed, a growing number of entrepreneurs are using digital solutions to provide online legal services that are supposed to be faster and cheaper. If many of them are nonlawyer legal entrepreneurs, many lawyers are also engineering innovative projects and launching their own start-up companies, known as “LegalTech” or “LawTech.” However, few studies—or none to our limited knowledge—provide an empirically grounded analysis of such projects, leaving some questions unanswered. Who are these entrepreneurial lawyers? How and why do they engineer and develop LegalTech projects? How do they challenge the legal profession? To answer these questions, this article draws on a qualitative study of three contrasted start-ups Belgian lawyers have recently developed. The research methodology combines gray and scientific literature reviews, web-document (hereafter “manifestos”) analysis, and semi-directive interviews led with the start-up’s founders (n = 5), the Bar Association’s representatives (n = 3), and some members of the main Belgian LegalTech network (n = 4).

Earthworms as ecosystem engineers can modify the quality of vermibed assembled from mixed soil with organic material in a vermireactor. Various in shapes of the vermireactor are used to produce a vermicast for biofertilizer in agriculture. The objective of this research was to study the vermicast production and its quality produced from a variety of vermireactor shapes. Earthworm (Pheretima sp.) which was applied to the vermireactor consists of: with- and without of earthworms. Three shapes of the vermireactor, namely cylinder, square, and rectangular has been tested. Compost of Chromolaena odorata pruning mixed with soil was used as vermibed. The vermicast process ran until 28 days. The results showed that vermireactor with earthworms which were successfully converted to vermicast was about 49.24% from the vermibed volume, however, no vermicast formed was found from vermireactor without earthworms. The difference in vermicast produced from different vermireactor shapes was not significant. The value of pH, total-N, and C/N ratio among the vermicast was different. The number of the morphological character of bacteria colonies in the vermicast produced from the square vermireactor was the highest, while from cylinder vermireactor was the lowest. We concluded that the quality of vermicast from earthworm (Pheretima sp.) activity was determined by the shape of the vermireactor.

Published: August 2020

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparative efficacy of 3MTM CobanTM 2 layer system and conventional multi-layer short-stretch bandaging in terms of volume reduction, ultrasonographic measurements, functional status, and quality of life (QoL) in the treatment of patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).
Patients and methods: This prospective, single-blind, randomized study included a total of 60 BCRL patients (60 females; mean age 54.9±9.6 years; range, 30 to 73 years). The patients were randomly allocated to Group 1 (n=30) and Group 2 (n=30). Both groups received complex decongestive therapy (CDT) including skin care, lymphedema exercises, and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) combined with traditional multi-layer short-stretch bandaging five times per week for three weeks in Group 1 and with 3MTM CobanTM 2 layer system bandaging two times per week for three weeks in Group 2. Differences in volumes, excess volumes, ultrasonographic measurements, QoL, and functional assessment scores were evaluated at baseline, after three weeks of intensive treatment period, and at two months of follow-up. Functional status was evaluated by the Quick Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (Q-DASH), while the QoL was assessed using the Turkish version of Lymphedema Quality of Life Questionnaire-Arm (LYMQOL-Arm). The duration and easiness of applying bandages by physiotherapists and comfortableness of bandages according to patients and physiotherapists were also evaluated using a questionnaire.
Results: The demographic and clinical properties were similar between the groups. There were significant improvements in the volumes, excess volumes, ultrasonographic measures, functional scores, and QoL scores in both groups at the end of treatment. The improvements were sustained at two months of follow-up.
Conclusion: The 3MTM CobanTM 2 layer bandaging as a part of CDT twice a week for a period of three weeks can significantly reduce the volume and improve the disability and impaired QoL, similar to conventional short-stretch multi-layer bandages. In addition, treatment with this layer system enables a time-efficient, easy, and comfortable application of bandaging with increased mobility of the upper extremity.

On Hitler's Mein Kampf
Authors: Koschorke Albrecht 
Published: August 2020

An examination of the narrative strategies employed in the most dangerous book of the twentieth century and a reflection on totalitarian literature.
Hitler's Mein Kampf was banned in Germany for almost seventy years, kept from being reprinted by the accidental copyright holder, the Bavarian Ministry of Finance. In December 2015, the first German edition of Mein Kampf since 1946 appeared, with Hitler's text surrounded by scholarly commentary apparently meant to act as a kind of cordon sanitaire. And yet the dominant critical assessment (in Germany and elsewhere) of the most dangerous book of the twentieth century is that it is boring, unoriginal, jargon-laden, badly written, embarrassingly rabid, and altogether ludicrous. (Even in the 1920s, the consensus was that the author of such a book had no future in politics.) How did the unreadable Mein Kampf manage to become so historically significant? In this book, German literary scholar Albrecht Koschorke attempts to explain the power of Hitler's book by examining its narrative strategies.
Koschorke argues that Mein Kampf cannot be reduced to an ideological message directed to all readers. By examining the text and the signals that it sends, he shows that we can discover for whom Hitler strikes his propagandistic poses and who is excluded. Koschorke parses the borrowings from the right-wing press, the autobiographical details concocted to make political points, the attack on the Social Democrats that bleeds into an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, the contempt for science, and the conscious attempt to trigger outrage.
A close reading of National Socialism's definitive text, Koschorke concludes, can shed light on the dynamics of fanaticism. This lesson of Mein Kampf still needs to be learned.
