Authors: Feng Kai , Lu Xiaoyu , Luo Jian , Tang Fang 
Published: September 2020

AbstractOdontotermes formosanus (Shiraki) is an important pest in the world. Serratia marcescens have a high lethal effect on O. formosanus, but the specific insecticidal mechanisms of S. marcescens on O. formosanus are unclear, and the immune responses of O. formosanus to S. marcescens have not been clarified. At present, genetic database resources of O. formosanus are extremely scarce. Therefore, using O. formosanus workers infected by S. marcescens and the control as experimental materials, a full-length transcriptome was sequenced using the PacBio Sequel sequencing platform. A total of 10,364 isoforms were obtained as the final transcriptome. The unigenes were further annotated with the Nr, Swiss-Prot, EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Ortholog public databases. In a comparison between the control group and a Serratia marcescens-infected group, a total of 259 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 132 upregulated and 127 downregulated genes. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the expression of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, oxidative stress genes and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway in O. formosanus may be associated with S. marcescens treatment. This research intensively studied O. formosanus at the high-throughput full-length transcriptome level, laying a foundation for further development of molecular markers and mining of target genes in this species and thereby promoting the biological control of O. formosanus. Furthermore, these results will be helpful to clarify the action mechanisms of S. marcescens on O. formosanus, and also explore the relationship between O. formosanus and S. marcescens. In addition, this study will identify the immune response of O. formosanus to S. marcescens, which will provide a theoretical foundation for the development of new immunosuppressants for O. formosanus.

AbstractSeveral interventional treatments have recently been integrated into the therapeutic armamentarium available for the treatment of bone tumors. In some scenarios (e.g., osteoid osteoma), interventional treatments represent the sole and definitive applied treatment. Due to the absence of widely shared protocols and the complex multivariate scenarios underlying the clinical presentation of the remaining bone tumors including metastases, therapeutic strategies derived from a multidisciplinary tumor board are essential to provide effective treatments tailored to each patient. In the present review, we present the multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies commonly adopted for the most frequent bone tumors.

No official data exist on the status of musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology in Europe. The Committee for National Societies conducted an international survey to understand the status of training, subspecialization, and local practice among the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) partner societies. This article reports the results of that survey. An online questionnaire was distributed to all 26 European national associations that act as official partner societies of the ESSR. The 24 questions were subdivided into six sections: society structure, relationship with the national radiological society, subspecialization, present radiology practice, MSK interventional procedures, and MSK ultrasound. The findings of our study show a lack of standardized training and/or accreditation methods in the field of MSK radiology at a national level. The European diploma in musculoskeletal radiology is directed to partly overcome this problem; however, this certification is still underrecognized. Using certification methods, a more homogeneous European landscape could be created in the future with a view to subspecialist training. MSK ultrasound and MSK interventional procedures should be performed by a health professional with a solid knowledge of the relevant imaging modalities and sufficient training in MSK radiology. Recognition of MSK radiology as an official subspecialty would make the field more attractive for younger colleagues as well as attracting the brightest and best, an important key to further development of both clinical and academic radiology.

AbstractSudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the sudden cessation of regular cardiac activity so that the victim becomes unresponsive, with no signs of circulation and no normal breathing. Asystole, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and pulseless electrical activity are the underlying rhythm disturbances in the pediatric age group. If appropriate interventions (cardiopulmonary resuscitation-CPR and/or defibrillation or cardioversion) are not performed rapidly, this condition progresses to sudden death. There have not been many reported cases of the approach and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias after SCA. Herein, we would like to report a case of a 15-year-old female patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who was admitted to our clinic a year ago, and while her left ventricular systolic functions were improved, SCA suddenly occurred. Since the SCA event occurred in another city, intravenous treatment of amiodarone was done immediately and was switch to continuous infusion dose of amiodarone until the patient arrived at our institution's pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) 3 hours later. During the patient's 20-day PICU hospitalization, she developed pulseless VT and VF from time to time. The patient's pulseless VT and VF attacks were brought under control by the use of a defibrillator and added antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, flecainide, esmolol, and propafenone). Intriguingly, therapy-resistance bigeminy with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) continued despite all these treatments. The patient did not have adequate blood pressure measured by invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring while having bigeminy PVCs. The intermittent bigeminy PVCs ameliorated rapidly after intermittent boluses of lidocaine. In the end, multiple antiarrhythmic therapies and intermittent bolus lidocaine doses were enough to bring her cardiac arrhythmias after SCA under control. This case illustrates that malign PVC's should be taken very seriously, since they may predispose to the development of VT or VF. Also, this case highlights the importance of close vigilance of arterial pressure tracings of patients with bigeminy PVCs which develop after SCA and should not be accepted as normal.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Introduction Traumatic diaphragm rupture injury repairs are predominately performed through thoracotomy, laparotomy, or a combination of the two approaches. While open surgery is often necessary to follow the fundamentals of damage-control operations in unstable or polytrauma patients, minimally invasive surgery may be an alternative for those with a low injury burden to reduce the postoperative morbidities associated with open operations.
Case Description We describe the first case of a right-sided diaphragm rupture from blunt trauma that was repaired by a robotic transthoracic approach in the index admission.
Conclusion Minimally invasive repair of an acute traumatic diaphragm rupture is feasible in selected trauma patients.
Effects of simultaneous interpreting experience and training on anticipation, as measured by word-translation
latencies
Authors: Chmiel Agnieszka 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the influence of interpreter training and conference interpreting experience on
anticipation, as measured by word-translation latencies in a semantically constrained context. It involved professional conference
interpreters, on the one hand, and, on the other, interpreter trainees being tested at the beginning and at the end of their two-year
training programme. Both groups were asked to translate words embedded at the end of high-context constraint sentences (thus easily
predictable), low-context constraint sentences or those appearing in isolation in both directions (from and to their native language). The
data suggest that word-translation latency improves in the course of interpreter training but it is not enhanced further in the course of
professional experience, whereas anticipation is not improved by either training or experience. All the participants, being late foreign
language learners, manifested an advantage in native language comprehension by anticipating more in an A–B versus a B–A translation
direction. The findings also suggest that professional interpreting experience might facilitate inhibition and lead to the selection of the
appropriate translation equivalent.
Are CLIL texts too complicated?

Published: September 2020

AbstractThis article presents a comparative study of the linguistic characteristics of some materials used to teach English as a foreign language, and Geography and History through English in a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) experience in the Basque Country with students aged 11–13. This paper analyzes and compares the contents of current textbooks using Coh-Metrix and AzterTest, which calculate stylistic and linguistic metrics regarding lexical and grammatical complexity, readability and coherence. Finally, the study suggests that there are significant differences mainly in vocabulary level, narrativity and cohesion, it identifies the potential difficulties of CLIL texts and offers advice on how to overcome them. Raising awareness of the complexity of some texts used in CLIL can provide a starting point for pedagogical adaptations and contribute to optimizing learning.
Narrative practices in debt collection encounters
Authors: Harrington Leigh 
Published: September 2020

AbstractDrawing on a corpus of 100 authentic telephone-mediated interactions from a British credit union, this paper is the first to examine narrative practices in debt collection encounters. It demonstrates that the credit union’s debt collector routinely invites and supports indebted individuals’ narratives using alignment and affiliation. Through a small stories approach, the paper therefore highlights that an organisation’s core values and principles can be seen “in action” in the ways that a professional orients to lay-people’s stories in professional-lay discourse. In this case, the collector’s narrative practices are emblematic of the credit union’s consciously ethical, responsible, and debtor-centric approach to collecting debt. The analysis also shows that indebted individuals perform important interactive work through their narrative accounts in terms of mitigating responsibility for their debt, constructing blameless and acceptable identities, and implicitly encouraging (or explicitly instructing) the collector to affiliate with their stance.
The Two-Lens Approach
Authors: Woolf Anneli Rane , Nicolopoulou Ageliki 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Over the past 30 years we have seen a welcome growth in the understanding of narrative as a complex and broadly defined
set of concepts. While the complexity of children’s narrative development has been brought to light by researchers and theorists across
multiple fields of study, reflecting this growth by comprehensively analyzing narrative complexity still remains a challenge. One reason for
this ongoing challenge is the isolated, disparate focus of the approaches, either in analyzing solely story structure, content, or function.
Few approaches combine these disparate dimensions to comprehensively analyze children’s narratives. In response, we build on research from
the past 30 years to develop the Two-Lens Approach, a holistic theoretical framework for analyzing the form, content, and context of
children’s narratives. This paper presents and applies this approach in an effort to start closing the gaps among the field of narrative
analysis and narrative theory.
The correlations between physical attributes and golf clubhead speed: A systematic review with quantitative analyses
Authors: Ehlert Alex 
Published: September 2020

AbstractClubhead speed (CHS) is a commonly assessed golf performance measure and has been demonstrated to increase in response to physical training. Knowledge of the physical attributes that correlate with CHS will aid in developing effective testing and training protocols for golfers. Thus, the purpose of this review was to identify studies that evaluated the correlation between physical attributes and CHS and synthesise the correlation coefficients using three‐level meta‐analytic methods. Physical attributes were categorised first by general physical attribute categories. Pooled correlations were also estimated for specific attributes (e.g. jump height, body mass) that were evaluated across three or more studies. The results suggested that CHS had the strongest correlations with measures of upper body power/explosiveness (r = 0.51, 95% confidence interval [95CI]: 0.34, 0.67), lower body strength (r = 0.46; 95CI: 0.27, 0.66), upper body strength (r = 0.41; 95CI: 0.18, 0.63), and lower body power/explosiveness (r = 0.38; 95CI: 0.23, 0.53). Muscle endurance (r = 0.18; 95CI: 0.07, 0.28) and anthropometrics (r = 0.27; 95CI: 0.12, 0.42) had small, but significant correlations, while flexibility (r = 0.03; 95CI: −0.08, 0.14) had a trivial correlation. Several specific assessments such as squat strength, estimated jump power, and medicine ball throw outcomes had large pooled correlations with CHS (r = 0.55–0.63). Overall, the results suggest that measures of muscle strength and power/explosiveness have moderate‐large correlations with CHS. Flexibility measures did not have significant associations with CHS, but this may be a result of the specific measures used within the literature.
Brans–Dicke cosmology with a Λ-term: a possible solution to ΛCDM tensions*
Authors: Peracaula Joan Solà , Gómez-Valent Adrià , de Cruz Pérez Javier , Moreno-Pulido Cristian 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
We present a full-fledged analysis of Brans–Dicke cosmology with a cosmological constant and cold dark matter (BD-ΛCDM for short). We extend the scenarios where the current cosmological value of the BD-field is restricted by the local astrophysical domain to scenarios where that value is fixed only by the cosmological observations, which should be more natural in view of the possible existence of local screening mechanism. Our analysis includes both the background and perturbations equations in different gauges. We find that the BD-ΛCDM is favored by the overall cosmological data as compared to the concordance GR-ΛCDM model, namely data on distant supernovae, cosmic chronometers, local measurements of the Hubble parameter, baryonic acoustic oscillations, large-scale structure formation and the cosmic microwave background under full Planck 2018 CMB likelihood. We also test the impact of strong and weak-lensing data on our results, which can be significant. We find that the BD-ΛCDM can mimic effective quintessence with a significance of about 3.0–3.5σ c.l. (depending on the lensing datasets). The fact that the BD-ΛCDM behaves effectively as a running vacuum model (RVM) when viewed from the GR perspective helps to alleviate some of the existing tensions with the data, such as the σ
8 excess predicted by GR-ΛCDM. On the other hand, the BD-ΛCDM model has a crucial bearing on the acute H
0-tension with the local measurements, which is rendered virtually harmless owing to the small increase of the effective value of the gravitational constant with the expansion. The simultaneous alleviation of the two tensions is a most remarkable feature of BD-gravity with a cosmological constant in the light of the current observations, and hence goes in support of BD-ΛCDM against GR-ΛCDM.
Unique determination of fractional order and source term in a fractional diffusion equation from sparse boundary data
Authors: Li Zhiyuan , Zhang Zhidong 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this article, for a two dimensional fractional diffusion equation, we study an inverse problem for simultaneous restoration of the fractional order and the source term from the sparse boundary measurements. By using a sequence of harmonic functions, we construct useful quantitative relation between the unknowns and measurements. From Laplace transform and the knowledge in complex analysis, the uniqueness theorem is proved.
Impact of random alloy fluctuations on inter-well transport in InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well systems: an atomistic non-equilibrium Green’s function study
Authors: O’Donovan Michael , Luisier Mathieu , O’Reilly Eoin P , Schulz Stefan 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Recent experimental studies indicate the presence of ballistic hole transport in InGaN multi quantum well (MQW) structures. Widely used drift–diffusion models cannot give insight into this question, since quantum mechanical effects, such as tunneling, are not included in such semi-classical approaches. Also atomistic effects, e.g. carrier localization effects and built-in field variations due to (random) alloy fluctuations, are often neglected in ballistic transport calculations on InGaN quantum well systems. In this work we use atomistic tight-binding theory in conjunction with a non-equilibrium Green’s function approach to study electron and hole ballistic transport in InGaN MQW systems. Our results show that for electrons the alloy microstructure is of secondary importance for their ballistic transport properties, while for hole transport the situation is different. We observe for narrow barrier widths in an InGaN MQW system that (random) alloy fluctuations give rise to extra hole transmission channels when compared to a virtual crystal description of the same system. We attribute this effect to the situation that in the random alloy case, k
∥-vector conservation is broken/relaxed and therefore the ballistic hole transport is increased. However, for wider barrier width this effect is strongly reduced, which is consistent with experimental studies. Our findings also provide a possible explanation for recent experimental results where alloying the barrier between the wells leads to enhanced ballistic (hole) transport in InGaN MQW systems.
How magnetic field can transform a superconductor into a Bose metal
Authors: Ren Tianhao , Tsvelik Alexei M 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
We discuss whether a simple theory of superconducting stripes coupled by Josephson tunneling can describe a metallic transport, once the coherent tunneling of pairs is suppressed by the magnetic field. For a clean system, the conclusion we reached is negative: the excitation spectrum of preformed pairs consists of Landau levels, and once the magnetic field exceeds a critical value, the transport becomes insulating. As a speculation, we suggest that a Bose metal can exist in disordered systems provided that the disorder is strong enough to localize some pairs. Then the coupling between propagating and localized pairs broadens the Landau levels, resulting in a metallic conductivity. Our model respects the particle–hole symmetry, which leads to a zero Hall response. And intriguingly, the resulting anomalous metallic state has no Drude peak and the spectral weight of the cyclotron resonance vanishes at low temperatures.
Density-density correlation function of strongly inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids
Authors: Danny Babu Nikhil , Das Joy Prakash , Setlur Girish S 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this work, we show in pedagogical detail that the most singular contributions to the slow part of the asymptotic density-density correlation function of Luttinger liquids with fermions interacting mutually with only short-range forward scattering and also with localised scalar static impurities (where backward scattering takes place) has a compact analytical expression in terms of simple functions that have second order poles and involve only the scale-independent bare transmission and reflection coefficients. This proof uses conventional fermionic perturbation theory resummed to all orders, together with the idea that for such systems, the (connected) moments of the density operator all vanish beyond the second order—the odd ones vanish identically and the higher order even moments are less singular than the second order moment which is the only one included. This important result is the crucial input to the recently introduced ‘Non-Chiral Bosonization Technique’ (NCBT) to study such systems. The results of NCBT cannot be easily compared with the results obtained using conventional bosonization as the former only extracts the most singular parts of the correlation functions albeit for arbitrary impurity strengths and mutual interactions. The latter, ambitiously attempts to study all the parts of the asymptotic correlation functions and is thereby unable to find simple analytical expressions and is forced to operate in the vicinity of the homogeneous system or the half line (the opposite extreme). For a fully homogeneous system or its antithesis viz. the half-line, all the higher order connected moments of the density vanish identically which means the results of chiral bosonization and NCBT ought to be the same and indeed they are.
Effect of microstructure of Au80Sn20 solder on the thermal resistance TO56 packaged GaN-based laser diodes
Authors: Lin Hao , Li Deyao , Zhang Liqun , Wen Pengyan , Zhang Shuming , Liu Jianping , Yang Hui 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Au80Sn20 alloy is a widely used solder for laser diode packaging. In this paper, the thermal resistance of GaN-based blue laser diodes packaged in TO56 cans were measured by the forward voltage method. The microstructures of Au80Sn20 solder were then investigated to understand the reason for the difference in thermal resistance. It was found that the microstructure with a higher content of Au-rich phase in the center of the solder and a lower content of (Au,Ni)Sn phase at the interface of the solder/heat sink resulted in lower thermal resistance. This is attributed to the lower thermal resistance of Au-rich phase and higher thermal resistance of (Au,Ni)Sn phase.
