Abstract

Background
To investigate longitudinal trends of admissions with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and subsequent duration of hospitalization in association with structural health care properties, such as size of treatment facility, population density and linear distance between home and treatment centers.

Methods
Data from 24,321 German and Austrian pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed T1D between 2008 and 2017 within the DPV registry were analyzed.

Results
Onset-DKA rates fluctuated at around 19% and slightly increased over the observation period (p<0.001). Compared to children without onset-DKA, children with onset-DKA were more frequently treated at centers located closer to their homes, independent of center size or urbanity. Annual median duration of hospitalization decreased from 13.1 (12.6;13.6) to 12.7 (12.3;13.2) days (p<0.001). It was highest in patients younger than 5 years, with migration background, and in severe DKA.

Conclusion
Patients with onset-DKA are admitted to the nearest hospital, independent of center size. Facilities close to patients’ homes therefore play an important role in the acute management of T1D onset. In Germany and Austria, diabetes education at diagnosis is mainly performed in inpatient settings. This is reflected by a long duration of hospitalization, which has decreased only slightly over the past decade.

Published: May 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo observe Doppler ultrasound changes in the two segments of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) in fetuses with transposition of the great arteries (TGA).MethodsThe peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), pulsatility index (PI), and velocity-time integral (VTI) of the two segments of PCA (the first segment: PCAS1, the second segment: PCAS2) and of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were compared in TGA fetuses and normal fetuses. The abnormality rate between the PCAS1-PI and MCA-PI was compared in TGA fetuses.ResultsThe PCAS1-PI and MCA-PI were smaller in the TGA fetuses than in the controls (all P < 0.05), but the PCAS2-PI was unchanged (P > 0.05). The MCA-VTI, PCAS1-VTI, and PCAS2-VTI were larger in the TGA fetuses (all P < 0.05). In the TGA fetuses, the abnormality rate of the PCAS1-PI was significantly higher than that of the MCA-PI (P < 0.05).ConclusionIn fetuses with TGA, there were hemodynamic differences between the two segments of the posterior cerebral arteries. Moreover, PCAS1 exhibited signs of vasodilatation more obviously than did the MCA in fetuses with TGA.

Published: May 2020

AbstractBackgroundUmbilical cord (UC) abnormalities are related to neurological outcome and death; specific molecular factors that might be involved are, as yet, unknown; however, protein-coding genes insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C (CDKN1C) have been identified as potential candidates.MethodsAn analytical observational study was carried out. Newborn UCs were collected, along with their clinical and morphological features. Immunohistochemical analysis was made on paraffin-embedded sections and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed in fresh UC tissue for the assessment of gene expression.ResultsA total of 100 newborns were included. A significant association was found between long UC and prematurity [odds ratio (OR) 9] and long UC and respiratory distress (OR 4.04). Gestational diabetes (OR 8.55) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) (OR 4.71) were found to be related to short UCs. The frequency for abnormal UC length was higher than expected. UC length was positively correlated with maternal, newborn and placental weight. No statistical association was found between IGF2 and CDKN1C (p57) expression and UC length; however, there was a tendency for higher CDKN1C expression in short UCs, while, on the contrary, higher IGF2 expression for long UCs.ConclusionUC length was observed to be associated with maternal and newborn complications. Protein expression, messenger RNA (mRNA) activity and the activity of said genes seem to be related to UC length.
Birth tears after spontaneous and vacuum-assisted births with different vacuum cup systems – a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Kreft Martina , Zimmermann Roland , Kimmich Nina 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Birth tears are a common complication of vaginal childbirth. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of birth tears first by comparing the mode of vaginal birth (VB) and then comparing different vacuum cups in instrumental VBs in order to better advise childbearing women and obstetrical professionals.

Methods
In a retrospective cohort study, we analyzed nulliparous and multiparous women with a singleton pregnancy in vertex presentation at ≥37 + 0 gestational weeks who gave birth vaginally at our tertiary care center between 06/2012 and 12/2016. We compared the distribution of tear types in spontaneous births (SBs) vs. vacuum-assisted VBs. We then compared the tear distribution in the vacuum group when using the Kiwi Omnicup or Bird’s anterior metal cup. Outcome parameters were the incidence and distribution of the different tear types dependent on the mode of delivery and type of vacuum cup.

Results
A total of 4549 SBs and 907 VBs were analyzed. Birth tear distribution differed significantly between the birth modes. In 15.2% of women with an SB an episiotomy was performed vs. 58.5% in women with a VB. Any kind of perineal tear was seen in 45.7% after SB and in 32.7% after VB. High-grade obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) appeared in 1.1% after SB and in 3.1% after VB. No significant changes in tear distribution were found between the two different VB modes.

Conclusions
There were more episiotomies, vaginal tears and OASIS after VB than after SB. In contrast, there were more low-grade perineal and labial tears after SB. No significant differences were found between different vacuum cup systems, just a slight trend toward different tear patterns.
On Translator Training in Industry-Specific Universities in China – A case study of 16 MTI programs
Authors: Xu Mianjun , Zhao Tianyuan , Zhong Weihe 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
MTI programs in industry-specific universities have drawn little scholarly attention due to their short history and small scale, but they have irreplaceable advantages in training translators for specific industries because of their time-honored and well-established industry-specific disciplines and programs. For this reason, this paper focuses on MTI programs granted in 2014 in 16 industry-specific universities, which cover a variety of industries, including civil aviation, medicine, forestry, agriculture, post and telecommunications, architecture, ocean, petrol, electric power and water resources. All these MTI programs were subjected to the assessments by China National Committee for Translation and Interpreting Education in 2018. By inspecting their assessment data concerning teachers, students, training objectives, programs and characteristic courses, as well as horizontal communications with other disciplines of the respective universities and with language services companies, and by interviewing nine teachers from the universities concerned, the authors discuss the merits and demerits of these MTI programs. The paper concludes by offering some suggestions to translator training in China and beyond.
Unlocked in translation: techniques for the translation of Spanish and British courtroom figures
Authors: Vázquez y del Árbol Esther 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Legal and courtroom figures always entail severe difficulties for both expert translators and translation trainees. They are a very fair reflection of the current society, and its organisation. When the translator is working with diverse legal systems (the British and the Spanish one), their complexity becomes stronger. Therefore, in this paper we will deal with the (English-Spanish) translation of the most representative and challenging courtroom figures from the UK and Spain by using the translation techniques applicable to court terminology.
El estrés en la Interpretación para los Servicios Públicos: Protocolo de actuación y estrategias para la formación de intérpretes
Authors: Parrilla Gómez Laura , Gutiérrez Solís Mª del Mar 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Social interpretation allows foreigners to access public services in a country whose language or culture they do not know. Thanks to interpreters in public services, communication between user and provider can take place, becoming a necessary tool to overcome the language barrier. However, in many cases the interpreter is exposed to difficult situations, since the people who use these services are in a situation of vulnerability and share traumatic experiences they have suffered. Because of these intense stories, interpreters for public services often suffer work-related stress. This study aims, through a survey distributed among professional interpreters, to find out the level of stress they face and thus, with the results obtained, to create a protocol with different strategies to help students studying Translation and Interpretation to perform an interpretation in public services avoiding or minimising the appearance of stress.
La « compétence de la survie » du traducteur en zone de conflit : l’anxiété et la prise de décision
Authors: Assaad Hleihel Rhéa , Abou Fadel Saad Gina 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Translators and interpreters operating in the war zone face numerous factors that alter their cognitive and emotional capabilities, among which: fear, anxiety troubles and post-traumatic stress disorder. This article explains the cerebral processes that generate anxiety, emotion and cognitive complexity, advances the new notion of “laboratory stress” and establishes the link between these processes and anxiety and decision‑making. Finally, the article suggests emergency exists such as positive appraisal and the innovative notion of sociocognitive counter‑conditioning.
Förderung von Perspektivenübernahme und Zielrezipientenorientierung im Translationsunterricht (deutsch – spanisch): kinderliterarische Ausgangstexte als didaktisches Instrument
Authors: Witte Heidrun 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

This paper will focus on
the role that source texts from early reader children’s literature can play in beginners’ translation classes helping students to develop culturally sensitive concepts of translator role and responsibility and encouraging them to use reader-oriented translation strategies.

In accordance with Functionalist Translation Theory, the translator’s ability to take into consideration culturally different perspectives is regarded as a basic component of his/her expert intercultural competence.

It will be argued that students’ empathy and ability to take others’ perspectives can be fostered through source texts that enable them to connect both with the fictional world (“text world”) and the target recipient’s situation (“real world”).
Availability of Print Resources as a Factor Affecting Reading Culture of Secondary School Students in Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Ukpebor Christopher Osaretin 
Published: May 2020

AbstractStudies have shown that Nigerians have a poor reading culture which could be as a result of several factors including unavailability of print resources. Literature has revealed that the quality of reading by secondary school students in Edo State was regrettably on the decline and that inadequate use of print resources was a major factor. The descriptive survey design of correlational type was adopted for the study. Stratified multi-stage sampling technique was adopted in selecting participants for this study. Fifty percent was used to select nine local governments, 10 % to select public and private secondary schools from the already selected nine local governments, making a total of 65 schools. From each of the selected 65 schools, a sampling fraction of 11 % was used to select a total of 895 students for the study. A questionnaire was used for students while an interview checklist was used for school principals in justification of the students’ responses. Regression analysis (at 0.05 level of significance) was used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that secondary school students in Edo State have print resources readily available, while secondary school students had a poor reading culture with the weighted average of 3.06. The effect of print resources (β = 0.141; p < 0.05) in predicting students’ reading culture was significant. Conclusively, the study showed that secondary school students in Edo State have a poor reading culture irrespective of the availability of print resources.
Relationship between Organizational Culture and Knowledge Sharing: A Study of University Librarians
Authors: Ahmed Shamshad , Ashraf Asma , Sheikh Arslan 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis paper aims to examine how librarians construe organizational culture based on employees’ satisfaction, good leadership, and organizational support with knowledge sharing practices relationships. The quantitative research method, using a structured questionnaire comprised of three constructs of Organizational Culture (OC), including employees’ satisfaction, good leadership, and organizational support, and six constructs of Knowledge Sharing (KS) (innovation, collaboration, communication channel, trust, loyalty, and ethics), was considered as the most suitable for this study. Correlation research design and Pearson correlation test were used for examining the relationships between OC and KS with respect to academic librarians. The findings disclosed significant relationships between OC and KS among the study participants. Organizational support followed by good leadership style and employees’ satisfaction are the strong predictors of knowledge sharing practices in the context of this study. This study has some practical implications for academic library administrators to consider the role of effective organizational culture in promoting knowledge sharing practices among LIS professionals. This paper is the first attempt to explore the relationship between OC and KS in library perspective.
On the temporal structure of nonculminating accomplishments
Authors: Tatevosov Sergei 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn the growing body of literature on nonculmination one question seems to have attracted less attention than it may deserve: why do some but not all accomplishment predicates allow for nonculminating interpretations? The goal of this paper is to review attested restrictions on nonculminating accomplishments and to explore one specific aspect of their meaning. Assuming, with the literature on predicate decomposition, that accomplishments minimally consist of a process and change of state components, I focus on the temporal structure of the former. The main empirical finding of the study is that a nonculminating reading is unavailable if contextually relevant parts of this component are arranged by the temporal precedence relation in a unique way.
On “partitive dislocation” in Sardinian: A Romance and Minimalist perspective
Authors: Mensching Guido 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe traditional philological literature on Sardinian claims that Sardinian has a “partitive object” construction, arguing that it is either inherited from Latin or due to Catalan influence. Under closer examination, however, the construction at issue turns out to be a common Romance clitic right dislocation (CLRD) structure involving the prepositiondeand a partitive clitic. The article presents the syntactic distribution of this Sardinian construction and its clitic left dislocation (CLLD) counterpart and compares it to similar structures in French, Catalan, and Italian. The result is that the structure appears in all these languages when a bare NP is dislocated, including split-QP/NumP/NP constructions: In all these languages, the dislocated indefinite NP is marked byde/diand a partitive clitic (Sardiniannde, Frenchen, Italianne, Catalanen/ne) shows up. The article ends with a Minimalist analysis, in which clitics are the spell-out of a probe in v that triggers movement of a complement to the specifier of vP to overcome a phase boundary. In this account, a probe that targets indefinite NPs assigns partitive case, while the probe itself is spelled out as a partitive clitic. While taking Sardinian as a starting point, the article bears on more general issues and unveils a common mechanism in one group of Romance languages.

The adaptive finite element method for the Steklov eigenvalue problem in
inverse scattering
Authors: Zhang Yu , Bi Hai , Yang Yidu 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, we discuss the posteriori error estimates and
adaptive algorithm for the non-self-adjoint Steklov eigenvalue problem in inverse
scattering. The differential operator corresponding to this problem is
non-self-adjoint and the associated weak formulation is not H
1-elliptic. Based on the study of Armentano et al. [Appl. Numer. Math.
58 (2008), 593–601], we first introduce error indicators for
primal eigenfunction, dual eigenfunction, and eigenvalue. Second, we use
Gårding’s inequality and duality technique to give the upper and lower
bounds for energy norm of error of finite element eigenfunction, which shows that our
indicators are reliable and efficient. Finally, we present numerical results to
validate our theoretical analysis.

Māori Gender Non-conforming Identity: Analysing the ‘Takatāpui’ Discourse
Authors: Marino Francesca 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the process of reconstruction of Māori postcolonial cultural identity in the twenty-first century which also passes through the reclamation and redefinition of ‘takatāpui’ notion. ‘Takatāpui’ is an umbrella term that nowadays indicates all the Māori with non-conformingwairua(spiritualities, gender identities), sexualities and sex characteristics. It is a culturally specific word which represents a form of intersectionality by identifying people as both Māori and queer.As a consequence of the increasing spread of the Internet, which has become a virtual place to construe identity and to promote the dissemination of ideas, a Multimodal Discourse Analysis is conducted on a corpus comprising 10 audiovisual texts fully retrieved from the web and exclusively produced by Māori takatāpui activists and/or containing Māori takatāpui activists’ self-narratives or claims.The corpus is analysed by applying a MMDA (Multimodal Discourse Analysis) framework based on Kress and van Leeuwen’s social semiotic framework (2006). The analysis is conducted also by taking into account Blommaert’s linguistic and ethnographic framework (2014).The findings of the analysis show the different strategies through which Māori identities are construed and conveyed reinforcing what the Māori scholar, Tuhiwai Smith (1999. Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples. Dunedin: Zed Books Limited, 28), calls “a very powerful need to give testimony to and restore a spirit, to bring back into existence a world fragmenting and dying”.
Unbiased estimation of the solution to Zakai’s equation
Authors: Ruzayqat Hamza M. , Jasra Ajay 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In the following article, we consider the non-linear filtering problem in continuous time and in particular the solution to Zakai’s equation or the normalizing constant.
We develop a methodology to produce finite variance, almost surely unbiased estimators of the solution to Zakai’s equation.
That is, given access to only a first-order discretization of solution to the Zakai equation, we present a method which can remove this discretization bias.
The approach, under assumptions, is proved to have finite variance and is numerically compared to using a particular multilevel Monte Carlo method.
Corporations as the Outgroup?
Authors: Murphy Ryan H. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractBecause the evolutionary competitive process found in the market selects firms whose practices most closely maximize profits, as in Alchian (1950), members of society correctly perceive that firms will defect when it aligns with their long-run profitability. This holds regardless of the intentions of those running the firm. But in terms of moral psychology, members of society subsequently consider firms to be members of the outgroup, deserving of ostracism. However, because conventional economic analysis already assumes that firms maximize profits, the observation that firms only act “ethically” when it is in their rational self-interest to do so does not have policy implications that are not already contained in neoclassical economics.

Published: May 2020

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rehabilitation training on Notch1 and synaptophysin (SYN) levels in brain tissues of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia.

Methods
Eighty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into nine groups: three Sham groups, three Model groups, and three training groups. There were nine rats in each group. At different time points, the apoptosis cell rate was analyzed by the TUNEL assay, and the expression levels of Notch1 and SYN in brain tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining and RT-qPCR assay.

Results
The apoptosis cell rate of training groups was significantly higher on day 28 (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA levels of both Noth1 and SYN in training groups were significantly higher on day 28 (P < 0.05).

Conclusion
Rehabilitation training could improve nerve cell apoptosis by increasing the expression of both Notch1 and SYN.
