Models of care for frail older persons who present to the emergency department: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Huang Ya-Ling , McGonagle Megan , Shaw Rebecca , Eastham Julie , Alsaba Nemat , Crilly Julia 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
People aged ≥ 65 years comprise around 1 in 5 emergency department (ED) presentations. Many of these presentations occur due to complications associated with chronic diseases and frailty. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of available research regarding models of care for frail older people presenting to the ED.

Methods
The Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review framework will be used to guide this review. Literature searches will be conducted in the following electronic databases (from January 2009 onwards): CINAHL via EBSCOhost, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, SocINDEX. Grey literature will be identified through searching Google Scholar. This review will consider primary research studies (including observational and interventional studies) published in English on models of care for frail older people (aged ≥ 65) presenting to the ED. Two researchers will independently screen all citations, full-text articles, and abstract data. Potential disagreements will be resolved through discussion with a third researcher. Data extracted from included studies will include the following: author(s), year of publication, country, research design and aim, time frame of the study, study population and sample size, data collection methods, definition of frailty, model of care, and key findings that pertain to the ability to inform this review. The strength of the body of evidence will be assessed using the National Health and Medical Research Council level of evidence hierarchy body of evidence matrix. Data will be presented in a tabular format and accompanied by a narrative that describes the characteristics of the body of literature.

Discussion
Despite the increased number of ED presentations for frail older people, there has been no synthesis of the sources of evidence of model of care for frail older people in the setting of emergency care. The results of this scoping review will provide an overview of different models of care and help inform future research in the development of models of care for frail older persons, tailored to the healthcare system in the emergency context.

Systematic review registration
This scoping review has been registered in the Open Science Framework (osf.io/h2t94).
An efficient attribute-based hierarchical data access control scheme in cloud computing

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Security issues in cloud computing have become a hot topic in academia and industry, and CP-ABE is an effective solution for managing and protecting data. When data is shared in cloud computing, they usually have multiple access structures that have hierarchical relationships. However, existing CP-ABE algorithms do not consider such relationships and just require data owners to generate multiple ciphertexts to meet the hierarchical access requirement, which would incur substantial computation overheads. To achieve fine-grained access control of multiple hierarchical files effectively, first we propose an efficient hierarchical CP-ABE algorithm whose access structure is linear secret sharing scheme. Moreover, we construct an attribute-based hierarchical access control scheme, namely AHAC. In our scheme, when a data visitor’s attributes match a part of the access control structure, he can decrypt the data that associate with this part. The experiments show that AHAC has good security and high performance. Furthermore, when the quantity of encrypted data files increases, the superiority of AHAC will be more significant.
Quality control and evaluation of Inonotus obliquus using HPLC method with novel marker compounds
Authors: Kim Jin Hyeok , Park Seol Kyu , Cho Chong Woon , Le Ba Vinh , Kim Young Ho , Bao Haiying , Kim Kyung Tae , Kang Jong Seong 
Published: December 2020

AbstractCurrent quality control ofInonotus obliquusrequires chromogen complex content limit of 10% in accordance with the State Pharmacopoeia of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. However, this causes ambiguous results, impeding precise quality control. To improve ambiguous quality control criteria, this study developed a new HPLC method using two novel marker compounds (inotodiol and 3β-hydroxylanosta-8,24-dien-21-al) to control the quality control ofI. obliquus. The HPLC analysis was carried out in a C18 column with an isocratic elution of 95% acetonitrile at 210 nm. The developed method validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and recovery. The content criteria were established by the linear regression method and relative standard deviation method. As the results of the quantitative monitoring, 1.165 mg/g of inotodiol and 1.717 mg/g of 3β-hydroxylanosta-8,24-dien-21-al, calculated by the relative standard deviation method, were suggested new quality criteria. A new HPLC method was developed to improve current quality control ofI. obliquusand new lower content criteria were proposed as a result of quantitative monitoring.Graphical abstract
Developing a diagnostic method for latent tuberculosis infection using circulating miRNA
Authors: Hashimoto Shoji , Zhao Hong , Hayakawa Michiyo , Nakajima Koichi , Taguchi Y-h , Murakami Yoshiki 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to cause latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in 25–50% of the cases, of whom 10–20% develop active tuberculosis (TB). Notably, no marker currently exists for judging the therapeutic effect of TB; it is currently judged by chest X-ray and clinical symptoms. We attempted to establish a marker for distinguishing LTBI from active TB and to identify the probability of recurrence after TB treatment, using information on circulating miRNA expression.

Methods
In total, 32 patients were enrolled in this study: 16 with an onset or recurrence of active TB, and 16 with LTBI showing positive interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) test and chest X-ray. Total RNA from serum in an exosome-rich fraction was first extracted, followed by miRNA expression analysis using a next-generation sequencer, then, this data were analyzed using miRDeep2.

Results
Using the expression information of eight miRNAs, LTBI and TB could be diagnosed with an accuracy of 71.8% (odds ratio: 6.16, p value = 3.20e-02).

Conclusions
A novel method for efficiently differentiating between LTBI and active TB was established. This method appears to be promising for evaluating the therapeutic effect of TB, as it can be performed in a minimally invasive manner.
The accuracy of age estimation from pulp chamber/crown volume ratio of canines obtained by cone beam computed tomography images: an Egyptian study
Authors: Elgazzar Fatma M. , Elboraey Mohamed Omar , El-Sarnagawy Ghada N. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
Globally, the need for an accurate and valid method for age estimation in adults still exists. The aging process is associated with secondary dentine deposition that reduces the volume of teeth pulp. Therefore, dental age could be recognized from the volume of pulp cavity. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy and validity of pulp chamber/crown volume ratio of maxillary and mandibular canines in estimating age using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images in a sample of the Egyptian population.

Results
There were significant strong negative correlations between age and each of the maxillary pulp chamber volume (PCV), mandibular PCV, maxillary pulp chamber/crown volume (PCV/CV) ratio, and mandibular PCV/CV ratio (p < 0.001). Furthermore, no significant differences were detected between both sexes regarding the mean maxillary and mandibular PCV and PCV/CV ratios (p > 0.05). The best fit regression model for age prediction was as follows: age (years) = 70.21 − 784.0x maxillary PCV/CV ratio − 1.66x maxillary PCV. The proposed model showed good power of prediction (R2 adjusted = 0.951). Additionally, the model was validated on an independent sample of 100 CBCT images with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.86 years.

Conclusion
The obtained valid regression formula in this study can serve as a reliable tool for age estimation in Egyptians. This formula should be further validated on a larger sample size of the Egyptian population that considers more steady age distribution.
Case report: Pitt-Hopkins like syndrome with CNTNAP2 mutation
Authors: AlBaazi Sawsan , Shareef Hula 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PHS) is a rare cause of severe intellectual disability, seizures, language impairment, and peculiar facial dysmorphism. It is caused by a mutation in transcription factor 4 (TCF4). Through molecular karyotyping and mutational analysis, a study identified recessive defects in two genes, contactin associated protein like 2 (CNTNAP2) and Neurexin I (NRXN1), in patients with similar presentations of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome and called Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome (Zweier et al., J Med Genet 80: 994-1001, 2007).
We present the first case report of a child in Iraq with Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome that was referred to the Welfare Children’s Hospital/Medical City of Baghdad because of her intellectual disability.

Case presentation
The patient was 4-year-old female child who presented with psychomotor delay and language impairment. She had frequent attacks of the respiratory tract and eye infections. Ophthalmologic examination revealed left-sided esotropia and severe myopia. Routine hematologic, serologic, and chemistry tests were within normal ranges. EEG revealed diffuse theta slowing and diffuse beta activity. The audiological test was normal. NCS and EMG showed normal results. Echo study, chest X-ray, and abdominal/pelvic ultrasound revealed normal findings. Brain MRI showed mild bilateral frontal-temporal atrophy. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed a homozygous stop mutation in CNTNAP2 with a heterozygous state in both parents.

Conclusion
Intellectual disability may result from different types of abnormal cellular processes and with widening the use of molecular gene analysis in cases of intellectual disability, underdiagnosed cases of Pitt-Hopkins and Pitt-Hopkins-like syndromes may be uncovered.
The scope of operative general paediatric surgical diseases in South Africa—the Chris Hani Baragwanath experience
Authors: Botchway Maame Tekyiwa , Kruger Deirdre , Manful Charles Adjei , Grieve Andrew 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
Infectious diseases have always been the lime light of global health with very little focus on childhood surgical conditions despite the fact that children constitute about half of the population in LMICs. A significant proportion of the burden of global disease can be reduced by surgical intervention. South Africa is one of the pioneers of the practice of paediatric surgery in Africa with a great burden of paediatric surgical conditions.
Few studies, if any, have investigated the burden of operative paediatric surgical procedures in South Africa. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to look at the scope of operative paediatric surgical procedures at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and reports on the numbers of elective and emergency procedures over a 12-month study period.

Results
There were 1699 operative general paediatric surgical procedures of which 61.7% were electives and 38.3% were emergencies. The scope of general paediatric surgical conditions operated on fell under the categories of congenital anomalies, infections and tumours. Of these, surgeries for congenital anomalies were performed in almost all the subspecialties.

Conclusion
There is a high operative paediatric surgical burden at the CHBAH. The role of paediatric surgical care as an essential component of global health cannot be underrated.

What’s hot and what’s not on the current CLIL research agenda: Weeding out the non-issues from the real issues. A response to Bruton (2019)
Authors: Pérez Cañado María Luisa 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis article aims to provide an updated, empirically solid overview of what’s hot and what’s not on the current CLIL research agenda in order to weed out the non-issues which we should no longer figure on the CLIL agenda from the real issues which will continue to shape the future of the field. This objective will hopefully be attained while concomitantly answering Bruton (2019), as, unfortunately, his most recent arguments are still not rooted in any research he himself has conducted, are not grounded on the latest empirical evidence, and limit themselves to re-interpreting studies conducted over a decade ago or which present a lack of empirical robustness. Only stalwart empirical evidence from the last few years is used here to provide a recent, research-driven overview of where we stand and where we need to go in the CLIL research arena, dismantling the assumptions put forward by Bruton (2019) as regards egalitarianism, the CLIL-EFL divide, and research into the effects of CLIL, and mapping out future pathways for progression which affect attention to diversity in bilingual education, incorporating a pluriliteracies approach, and replicating, extending, and meta-analyzing existing research.
Überlegungen zu einigen griechischen Wetterritualen
Authors: Pilz Oliver 
Published: December 2020

AbstractHistorische und ethnographische Parallelen belegen, dass bei rituellen Handlungen, die einen Umschwung der herrschenden Witterungsverhältnisse bewirken sollen, häufig das Schema der Umkehrung zur Anwendung kommt, um die gewünschte Veränderung symbolisch zu befördern. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Prozessionen und Bittgänge untersucht, die im antiken Griechenland im Bestreben abgehalten wurden, das Wettergeschehen zu beeinflussen. Mit dem Zug der angesehensten Bürger von Demetrias zum Heiligtum des Zeus Akraios auf dem Gipfel des Pelion steht dabei ein ritueller Komplex im Mittelpunkt, dessen Interpretation umstritten ist. Die Analyse macht deutlich, dass bei diesem Ritual nicht nur eine Inversion der für das Tieropfer üblichen Abfolge vonpompe, Tötung des Tieres und Opfermahlzeit zu verzeichnen ist, sondern auch eine Umkehrung der herrschenden sozialen Verhältnisse vorliegt. Auf dieser Grundlage kann die Deutung des Prozessionszuges als Wetterritual bekräftigt werden. Abschließend wird am Beispiel des athenischen Prozessionsrituals der Pompeia der vielfach übersehene Zusammenhang zwischen der Reinheit der Gemeinschaft und der Fruchtbarkeit der Felder herausgearbeitet.
Lawsuits with Headless Foes: A Greek Incantation Motif
Authors: Zellmann-Rohrer Michael 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis study proposes a new interpretation of the texts of two late ancient or early Byzantine papyrus amulets that refer to conflict with “headless” entities (PGMP 5a–b). Based on the identification of parallels in the Byzantine and later Greek tradition, a traditional incantation motif can be identified, targeting fever, which is analogized as a judicial crisis. An appendix publishes or republishes the relevant texts with translations. The complex career of the motif attested by the papyri and the Byzantine texts is also applied to illustrate the workings of the Greek tradition of incantations, in particular the mechanism by which elements of a received repertoire are re-combined, modified, and augmented for changing contexts, a process comparable to folkloric composition. The judicial motif can further be contextualized among beliefs about the supernatural, including the divinization of fever itself and the crediting of a broad cast of powers, including John the Baptist along with other holies, angels, and demons, with its infliction and relief.
A Syntactic Approach to the Orphic Gold Leaves
Authors: Egyed Attila 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe present paper provides a plausible interpretation of how a variety of literary elements and religious practices can augment our current understanding of ancient Orphism, although all of the sources seem to reflect a common religious function. The analysis is primarily based on close readings and deals with textual interpretation only as much as is necessary in order to highlight the intrinsic relations of textual constructions on the compositional, syntactical, and grammatical level. By focusing on structural relations, this syntactic approach enables us to integrate all the diverse emic interpretations on the basis of functional rules, while restraining us from the problem of interpreting surface meanings. The primary sources of the paper are specifically the A and D type Orphic gold leaves, because the structuring of these texts follows a common compositional pattern that seems to allude to a “model experience.” Using this “model experience” paradigm, this paper also aims to exceed the contemporary neo-ritualist interpretations of these texts as mere “ritual representations” and to propose a more holistic approach based on functionality. This is accomplished by separating formulaic components and treating them as contextualization cues which refer to the different stages that the initiate embodies, in an interdiscursive textual composition.
Typhoeus or Cosmic Regression (Theogony821 – 880)
Authors: Clay Jenny Strauss 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe Typhonomachy (Theogony821 – 880) has long been deemed an anomalous and inorganic intrusion into the Hesiodic text. The main reason for such a judgment is that the Typhoeus episode is an unnecessary and redundant doublet of the Titanomachy that precedes. In addition, Gaia’s role in giving birth to the monster seems to contradict her benign role both before (624 – 628) and after the Typhoeus episode (883 – 885). Looking afresh at the passage through the wider lens of the cosmogonic program of theTheogonyallows us to grasp its function within the overall economy of the poem. Typhoeus, offspring of Gaia and Tartarus, takes us back to the very origins of cosmogony. The Typhonomachy brings us to a critical temporal crossroad where a recrudescence of the primeval irrupts into and threatens the evolved universe. If at issue in the Titanomachy was the kingship in Heaven, at stake in the Typhonomachy is the very existence of the cosmos itself.
Herakles and the Order of Zeus in Hesiod’sTheogony
Authors: Huard Warren 
Published: December 2020

AbstractMost of Herakles’ accomplishments as portrayed in Hesiod’sTheogonyconcern his defeat of various monstrous entities, such as the Nemean lion. By overcoming this “bane to human beings” (πῆμ’ ἀνθρώποις, line 329) and other creatures like it, Herakles does more than make the world safer for human habitation. Significantly, many of these creatures are among the offspring of Echidna and Typhaon/Typhoeus. Zeus must defeat this Typhoeus in order to establish his dominion over the cosmos. It falls to Zeus’ son Herakles to uphold Zeus’ new cosmic order by overcoming the offspring of Typhaon remaining among mortals. Herakles’ role within theTheogonyis thus coherent in its cosmogonic dimensions, with Herakles acting both on behalf of Zeus’ order and in opposition to the would-be order of Typhaon/Typhoeus and (perhaps) a Hera not yet aligned with Zeus. Furthermore, through his actions among mortals, Herakles effectively brings this grand cosmogonic conflict down to earth, which serves narratively to better ground the events of theTheogonyin the lives of Hesiod’s hearers and readers.
The Politics of Beginnings: Hesiod and the Assyrian Ideological Appropriation ofEnuma Eliš
Authors: Ziemann Marcus 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis article proposes a new way to understand Near Eastern literary and mythological parallels in Hesiod’sTheogonyby focusing on the meaning of these parallels for a contemporary Greek audience. In particular, a case study analyzing a parallel shared by theTheogonyandEnuma elišis pursued here to illustrate this approach’s utility. This new approach draws partly on methodologies borrowed from the study of globalization and combines these methodologies with recent insights into the ideological motivations for Greeks’ deployment of Oriental(izing) art in the Orientalizing Period (ca. 750 – 650 BCE). Rather than focusing on individual parallels out of context or on diachronically stable elements that creation stories around the eastern Mediterranean shared, this article instead reconstructs a contemporary ideological background with the Neo-Assyrian Empire at the center of a globalizing Mediterranean. Because the Assyrians investedEnuma elišwith new ideological meaning at this time and broadcast this through their propaganda, the Akkadian creation epic could take on new meaning in an international context. It is consequently possible that specific correspondencesEnuma elišand theTheogonyshare show Hesiod subverting Assyrian ideological discourses. The subjects discussed here have implications for our broader understanding of Greek-Near Eastern interactions of the Orientalizing Period.
Our Co(s)mic Origins: Theogonies in Greek Comedy
Authors: Santamaría Marco Antonio 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis article focuses on the four theogonies which are documented in some texts and testimonies of Old and Middle Greek Comedy, namely in Cratinus’Cheirons(frs. 258 – 259 PCG), in which Pericles and Aspasia are disguised as Zeus and Hera; Aristophanes’Birds(693 – 703), a celebrated narration of the origins of these animals, presented as older than the gods; Antiphanes’Anthropogony, on the births of several gods and humankind; and the disagreement between Cronus and Rhea in the fragment of an anonymous play of Middle Comedy (adespotafr. 1062 PCG). In these theogonies several aspects will be analyzed: the gods or characters whose genealogy or birth is mentioned, the means of parody of the traditional literary form of theogony, and the political and social implications present in the first two fragments, in order to offer a complete picture of the theogonies in Greek comedy and their functions according to their context.
At the Origins of Dionysus and Wine: Myths, Miracles, and Festivals
Authors: Cristóbal Ana Isabel Jiménez San 
Published: December 2020

AbstractFor the Greeks, the connection between Dionysus and wine is almost unanimous. The god diffuses wine-related know-how and its cultivation throughout the inhabited world. Certain myths place the birth and infancy of Dionysus in regions where wine plays a prominent role, either for its excellence, because wine-related wonders take place there, or because the existence of wine-springs is attested. The cause-and-effect relationship between the birth of Dionysus and the miraculous appearance of wine is used by some cities to support their claim to be his birthplace. In some cases, myths concerning the origins of Dionysus are combined with a ritual component that celebrates the epiphany of the god through festivals in which the focal point is wine. This paper aims to contribute to our understanding of mythology and aetiology by adopting a novel approach to the case study of Dionysus’ birth, examining the extent to which the importance of wine in these areas determines whether they are linked to the origins of the god.
