Published: November 2021

Introduction
Post-stroke depression is a disabling condition that occurs in approximately one-third of stroke survivors. There is limited information on changes in depressive symptoms shortly after stroke survivors return home. To identify factors associated with changes in post-stroke depressive symptoms during the early recovery period, we conducted a secondary analysis of patients enrolled in a clinical trial conducted during the transition period shortly after patients returned home (MISTT).

Methods
The Michigan Stroke Transitions Trial (MISTT) tested the efficacy of social worker case management and access to online information to improve patient-reported outcomes following an acute stroke. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores were collected via telephone interviews conducted at 7 and 90 days post-discharge; higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms. Generalized estimating equations were used to identify independent predictors of baseline PHQ-9 score at 7 days and of changes over time to 90 days.

Results
Of 265 patients, 193 and 185 completed the PHQ-9 survey at 7 and 90 days, respectively. The mean PHQ-9 score was 5.9 at 7 days and 5.1 at 90 days. Older age, being unmarried, and having moderate stroke severity (versus mild) were significantly associated with lower 7-day PHQ-9 scores (indicating fewer depressive symptoms). However, at 90 days, both unmarried patients and those with moderate or high stroke severity had significant increases in depressive symptoms over time.

Conclusions
In stroke patients who recently returned home, both marital status and stroke severity were associated with depressive symptom scores; however, the relationships were complex. Being unmarried and having higher stroke severity was associated with fewer depressive symptoms at baseline, but both factors were associated with worsening depressive symptoms over time. Identifying risk factors for changes in depressive symptoms may help guide effective management strategies during the early recovery period.
Pathways to school success: Self-regulation and executive function, preschool attendance and early academic achievement of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in Australia’s Northern Territory

Published: November 2021

Background
With the pending implementation of the Closing the Gap 2020 recommendations, there is an urgent need to better understand the contributing factors of, and pathways to positive educational outcomes for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. This deeper understanding is particularly important in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia, in which the majority of Aboriginal children lived in remote communities and have language backgrounds other than English (i.e. 75%).

Methods
This study linked the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) to the attendance data (i.e. government preschool and primary schools) and Year 3 National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). Structural equation modelling was used to investigate the pathway from self-regulation and executive function (SR-EF) at age 5 to early academic achievement (i.e. Year 3 reading/numeracy at age 8) for 3,199 NT children.

Result
The study confirms the expected importance of SR-EF for all children but suggests the different pathways for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. For non-Aboriginal children, there was a significant indirect effect of SR-EF (β = 0.38, p<0.001) on early academic achievement, mediated by early literacy/numeracy skills (at age 5). For Aboriginal children, there were significant indirect effects of SR-EF (β = 0.19, p<0.001) and preschool attendance (β = 0.20, p<0.001), mediated by early literacy/numeracy skills and early primary school attendance (i.e. Transition Years to Year 2 (age 5–7)).

Conclusion
This study highlights the need for further investigation and development of culturally, linguistically and contextually responsive programs and policies to support SR-EF skills in the current Australian education context. There is a pressing need to better understand how current policies and programs enhance children and their families’ sense of safety and support to nurture these skills. This study also confirms the critical importance of school attendance for improved educational outcomes of Aboriginal children. However, the factors contributing to non-attendance are complex, hence the solutions require multi-sectoral collaboration in place-based design for effective implementation.

Der Salzburger Erzbischof und seine Juden
Authors: Wiedl Birgit 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between the Archbishops of Salzburg and the Jewish inhabitants of their territory. Unlike other prince-(arch)bishops of the Holy Roman Empire who actively promoted their Jewish communities, the Archbishops of Salzburg showed significantly less interest in their Jewish subjects and only seldomly made use of their financial capacities. Nevertheless, they claimed lordship over the Jews of their territory and defined the legal parameters under which Jewish life flourished in the archbishopric’s major towns; individual Jews and their families were given special privileges. After two major persecutions in 1349 and 1404, the latter of which took place at least with the archbishop’s consent, Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach expelled all Jewish inhabitants in 1498, ending the medieval Jewish settlement in the archbishopric.

Abstract
The present study aimed to apply Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment to foreign language (FL) anxiety, a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that has been found to exert profound effects on many aspects of FL learning and performance. EMDR originally emerged as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a great number of studies demonstrated empirically its potential for treating and coping with various psychological disorders. The present study used the Single-Case Design (SCD). EMDR was given to two volunteer adult EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners experiencing severe FL anxiety. The effect of the treatment on FL anxiety was tracked and measured by using two separate scales of FL anxiety and obtaining self-reports of distress from the subjects. The long-term effects of EMDR were checked through two separate follow-up assessments. The results clearly demonstrated that EMDR was effective in reducing FL anxiety and increasing subjects’ positive cognition.

Abstract
Engagement is seen as a highly desirable outcome and process contributing to successful learning. In second language acquisition (SLA), we know comparatively little about the nature of engagement for learning a language, in particular the kind of individual differences in learners that account for variations in engagement. In this study, we investigate whether a relationship exists between the engagement of tertiary-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students and one key individual difference, student personality traits, as measured by Goldberg, Lewis R. 1992. The development of markers for the Big-Five factor structure. Psychological Assessment 4(1). 26–42, Big-Five Personality Markers. Participants in this study were 154 EFL tertiary-level students from two universities in Austria. Language learning engagement (LLE) was measured using a modified version of the standardized Student Engagement Instrument (Appleton et al. 2006) adapted specifically for the tertiary-level EFL context in which this study was conducted. The study revealed that trait neuroticism and age predicted LLE and its two dimensions, the cognitive and the affective. Pedagogical implications of the study are presented and discussed.

Abstract
A compact, circularly polarized, CPW-fed antenna is proposed for wearable applications in ISM Band (5.8 GHz). The antenna is based on DGS, where the ground plane is responsible for impedance matching. The 10 dB impedance of the proposed antenna varies from 5.39 GHz to 5.94 GHz. The circular stub introduced in the ground plane mitigates the surface current and enriches the 3 dB axial ratio from 5.73 GHz to 5.92 GHz. Proposed antenna exhibits the LHCP and RHCP pattern of circular polarization, the antenna can effectively work for biomedical and wearable applications. The antenna is analyzed on the skin phantom model and the SAR value obtained is 1.218 W/kg, which is below the maximum permissible level. The proposed antenna is also used for the detection of breast tumors.
Frühe Literatursoziologie und Barockforschung: Arnold Hirschs Verbürgerlichungsthese und ihr wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Kontext
Authors: Behrs Jan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
To define more precisely what “literary sociology” means around 1930 (and what it is capable of), the article looks at one particular encounter of sociological theory and literary material: the scholarship on the baroque. Particularly two traits of this specific form of literary sociology are brought into focus: its relation to the antipositivist “Geistesgeschichte” that precedes it and its role in delineating a new form of literary history that delimits the role of the author. Particular attention is given to the writings of the scholar Arnold Hirsch (1901–1954) because they offer a particularly sophisticated reflection of the forms and functions of literary sociology.
Numerical investigation on optimization of wall jet to reduce high temperature corrosion in 660 MW opposed wall fired boiler
Authors: Zhang Yong , Liu Yuyang , Yang Xigang , Chen Guoqing , Jin Baosheng 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
For an air staged combustion boiler, the rational organization of jets to form closing-to-wall film using as little air as possible plays a key role in resolving the high temperature corrosion problems. In this work, a comprehensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model including hydrodynamics and coal combustion is established for a 660 MW opposed wall fired boiler. Based on the grid independence and model validation, the flow field, temperature profile, and species concentration are predicted, and the influences of the structure of nozzles and the operation parameter of jets are further evaluated. The results show that the corrosion area of the side wall is dependent on the jet projection velocity and nozzle structures. The increase of the jet velocity does not always have an active influence on the reduction of corrosive area. Only increasing the nozzle diameter does not always have a positive impact on the improvement of the corrosion. The increase of the jet inclination angle can extend the jet trajectory, contributing to increase the oxygen coverage area. Reasonably adjusting the jet inclination angle of each layer can obtain the lower corrosion area. The increase of jet row number leads to a decrease in the spacing between rows, which enables the downstream jet to penetrate deeper into the cross stream. By increasing the number of jet layers and reducing the jet velocity of each layer, the lowest corrosion area can be obtained.
The comparison and analysis of Type 3 wind turbine models used for researching the stability of electric power systems

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The dominant trend of the modern energy is the use of generating plants based on renewable energy sources, among which the most common is a wind power plant based on doubly fed induction generator (Type 3 WT). The large-scale introduction of Type 3 WT into the modern power systems significantly changes their dynamic properties. There are problems with ensuring the basic condition of the reliability and the survivability of power systems – the stability. The study and solution of the indicated problems is possible only with the help of the mathematical modeling of a large-scale power systems which is currently being carried out with the help of widespread purely numerical software tools of calculations of modes and processes, which are characterized by various simplifications and limitations. For the properties and capabilities of software tools for studying stability issues, mathematical models of Type 3 WT, the so-called generic models, which also have simplifications and limitations, are adapted. In this article, the reliability of stability calculations of a real power system with Type 3 WT using software tools was evaluated, which allows to identify the influence of the applied simplifications and restrictions with a purely numerical approach on the quality of solving problems of assessing the stability of power systems with Type 3 WT. Also, the studies made it possible to identify the areas of the application of generic models of Type 3 WT as a part of the model of the real dimension power system, at which the greatest and least errors arise, as well as their causes. Such a comprehensive assessment becomes feasible due to the alternative approach proposed in the article, based on the use of a detail benchmark tool model instead of the full-scale data to compare the results of modeling.

Abstract

Objectives
Plaque psoriasis is very embarrassing condition of skin as it produces itchy rashes and scaly lesions which may not respond well to the treatment. It can be correlated with Kitibhakushta which is one among the 18 types of Kushta (skin diseases). Several corticosteroids for skin applications are used now a day’s which gives only temporary relief.

Case presentation
A 36 years old moderate built male patient complains of blackish skin rashes with itching, pain and scaling all over the body for three months. Based on the symptoms, Dosha (Biological humors) involved were assessed as Kapha (binding factors) and Vata (vital force of life) and suggestive of Kitibhakushta. Diagnosis of the Plaque psoriasis was further confirmed by biopsy. Classical Kushta treatment was adopted here. As Poorvakarma (pre-operative procedures), Rukshana (Dehydrating therapy) was done and then Snehapana (intake of medicated ghee) was administered. Then classical Vamana (emetic therapy) and Virechana (purgative therapy) were performed. This took almost one month. After Samsarjana (special diet) patient was administered Manibhadragula as Shodhana Rasayana for a period of one month. At the end of Manibhadragula intake, remarkable changes were observed in all the symptoms. There were significant changes seen in PASI, DLQI and photographs taken before and after treatment.

Conclusions
Here the special mode of administration of Manibhadragula as mentioned in Ashtanga Hridaya helps for Shodhana and the Shodhana itself has Rasayana action. Drugs also have Rasayana property. This made the authors to propose a new concept called Shodhana Rasayana. Classical treatment by considering the condition of Roga (disease) and Rogi (patient) helps for management of Kushta.

Abstract

Objectives
Combining tamoxifen, the most common breast cancer hormonal therapy, with natural antitumor substances may prevent its hyperplastic effects on the uterine endometrium. Dacryodes edulis (DE) is traditionally recommended for the treatment of cancerous diseases. To investigate its antiproliferative properties, the present study was designed to assess the ability of the combined administration of tamoxifen with the aqueous extract of DE leaves to inhibit the trophic effect of this hormone therapy on rat uterine endometrium without compromising its non-proliferative effect on breast tissue.

Methods
Ovariectomized (OVX) female Wistar rats were simultaneously treated with tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and DE leaves (at doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kgBW) by gavage. Control groups received either distilled water or tamoxifen alone. Treatments lasted 37 days. The 38th day, animals were sacrificed under anesthesia (diazepam: 10 mg/kgBW and ketamine: 50 mg/kgBW). The relative uterine weight was determined and the histological analysis of the uterus and mammary gland was performed. The oxidative status of the uterus was assessed and the levels of cholesterol and estradiol were evaluated in serum and uterus.

Results
Tamoxifen increased uterine weight and induced endometrial hyperplasia. This effect was associated with increased uterine levels of cholesterol (164.22%; p < 0.001), estradiol (927.5%; p < 0.001) and malondiadehyde (86%; p < 0.05), but unchanged antioxidant enzymes activities. The administration of DE leaves unchanged tamoxifen-increased uterine weight but reduced uterine epithelium hypertrophy (56.4%; p < 0.01). DE also increased uterine levels of malondiadehyde and antioxidant enzymes. The levels of estradiol and cholesterol in the uterus decreased while no changes were observed in the mammary gland of animals treated with tamoxifen alone or in co-administration with DE.

Conclusions

D. edulis has antiproliferative properties and could complement endocrine therapy of estrogen-dependent breast cancer.

Published: November 2021

Abstract

Objectives
The construct of the osteopathic structure-function models is reported as a cornerstone of clinical reasoning and treatment processes. Nevertheless, there are no shared procedures described for their use in clinical practice. The present narrative review aims to analyze a more comprehensive perspective on the phenomenon.

Methods
A structured narrative review was conducted. A database search was conducted using Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Peer-reviewed papers without specifying limits on dates and design were included.

Results
Twenty-five findings were reported and grouped into two main themes: 1) Debate on models and theoretical frameworks for osteopathic care; 2) Clinical reasoning and decision-making process in the osteopathic field.

Conclusions
An integrated osteopathic care approach based on the structure/function models represents a starting point to establish a shared osteopathic diagnostic and clinical reasoning and an evidence-informed practice promoting health in an interdisciplinary person-centered care process. The present review highlights the limited amount of literature on using osteopathic conceptual models in decision-making and treatment strategies. A research plan is required to develop a common framework for an evidence-based osteopathic practice that promotes well-being in an interdisciplinary person-centered care process.
Therapieauflagen und Nachsorge bei haftentlassenen Sexualstraftätern: Prädiktoren und Zusammenhänge mit der Rückfälligkeit
Authors: Carl Lena C. , Lösel Friedrich 
Published: November 2021

Zusammenfassung
Die ambulante Behandlung entlassener Sexualstraftäter hat in den letzten Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Insbesondere seit der Reform der Führungsaufsicht 2006 wurde das Nachsorgeangebot für Haftentlassene sukzessive ausgebaut. Ein Großteil der nachbehandelten Sexualstraftäter wird über Bewährungsauflagen oder Weisungen der Führungsaufsicht an eine Nachsorgeeinrichtung angebunden, bislang gibt es aber kaum Informationen darüber, wie häufig Therapieauflagen erteilt werden, an welche Faktoren sie geknüpft sind und wie wirksam sie sind. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht daher an einer Stichprobe entlassener Sexualstraftäter (n = 1.537), welche individuellen, haftbezogenen und entlassungsbezogenen Faktoren die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Therapieweisung beeinflussen. Zudem wird analysiert, ob eine Therapieweisung unter Kontrolle anderer relevanter Faktoren eine rückfallpräventive Wirkung aufweist. Als Datenbasis diente ein umfassender Erhebungsbogen, der bei Haftentlassung von den Fachdiensten ausgefüllt wurde. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 77 % aller Sexualstraftäter eine Therapieauflage erhielten, dabei war der Anteil seit 2004 signifikant angestiegen. Jüngere Straftäter, Täter mit ausschließlich kindlichen Opfern, mit niedrigerem Static-99-Wert und einer Behandlung in Haft erhielten häufiger eine Therapieauflage. Für in der Haft unbehandelte Sexualstraftäter war eine Therapieauflage mit signifikant weniger Rückfall assoziiert, bei Straftätern mit Einzel- und Gruppentherapie galt dies nur für Rückfälle mit einem Gewaltdelikt. Für Entlassene aus der Sozialtherapie war eine Therapieauflage kein signifikanter Prädiktor. Implikationen für die Nachsorge von Sexualstraftätern und weitere Forschungsansätze werden diskutiert.
