Gender roles and intimate partner violence among female university students in Spain: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Llano-Suárez Andrea , Lana Alberto , Gasch-Gallén Ángel , Fernández-Feito Ana 
Published: November 2021

Background
Traditional gender roles (GRs) have a considerable influence on relationships among couples. These can lead to negative health effects in women; however, their impact on intimate partner violence (IPV) has been less explored, especially among younger women.

Objective
To explore the association between traditional GRs and several indicators of IPV on a sample of Spanish female university students involved in heterosexual dating relationships.

Methods
A cross-sectional study involving female university students (n = 1,005) pursuing ten degrees (four Health Science degrees and six Social Sciences degrees). Data were collected using two validated scales: 1) the Questionnaire on the Gender Determinants of Contraception (COGANT), used to examine four traditional GRs (submissive, blind, and passive attitudes of female students, and male dominance), and 2) the Dating Violence Questionnaire-R (DVQ-R) scale, used to measure five types of IPV-behaviors (coercion, detachment, humiliation, sexual violence, and physical violence), perceived fear, entrapment, and abuse. Logistic and linear regressions were conducted to study the association between GR and a series of IPV indicators in dating relationships.

Results
Traditional GRs were highly prevalent (57.0% submissive, 52.0% blind attitude, 75.7% passive, and 31.7% identified their boyfriend as being dominant). Up to 66.3% experienced some type of violent behavior. All GRs were significantly associated with IPV indicators. A submissive attitude in female students was the GR that was most strongly associated to total IPV-behavior (adjusted odd ratio [OR] = 3.18; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.29–4.42), followed by male dominance (OR = 2.79: 95% CI:1.71: 4.54). Both GRs were also highly associated with perceived fear, entrapment, and abuse.

Conclusions
A high presence of traditional GRs was found in the relationships held by female university students, which was significantly associated with IPV indicators. Universities must adopt policies for gender equality and raise awareness on dating violence.

Published: November 2021

Background: Possible differences in the results of planned RCTs and real clinical practice were the reason for the analysis of long-term therapy with denosumab in patients with osteoporosis (OP) of various origins on an outpatient basis.Aim: To assess the effectiveness of long-term administration of denosumab in terms of the effect on BMD and markers of bone metabolism, tolerance and consequences of drug withdrawal in patients with OP of various etiologies.Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the outpatient records of women with OP of various etiology, who were observed at the FSBI «NMRC TPM» from 1 to 10 years and regularly received denosumab 60 mg once every 6 months subcutaneously (at least 2 injections), was carried out. All completed examination and anthropometric research; DXA of the lumbar spine and proximal femur (PF); laboratory tests: marker of bone resorption CTx (β-crosslaps) in blood serum; survey on the presence of adverse events.Results: The study included 148 patients who were divided into 2 groups: 1 (N=98) - did not take anti-osteoporotic therapy (AT), 2 (N=50) - who took AT before the appointment of denosumab. Long-term therapy with denosumab was associated with a steady and reliable increase in BMD in the spine and PF, as well as a decrease in the concentration of CTx of both those who didn’t take and who previously took AT. In 54% of patients BMD in the spine reached values of osteopenia, in 43.4% of women target BMD values in the femoral neck were determined. During the first year of therapy, there was a decrease in the concentration of CTx by 67% in those who didn’t take AT and by 58% in those who had previously taken AT. Discontinuation of denosumab therapy without subsequent administration of AT was associated with a significant decrease in BMD in the spine (by 4.4-8.2%) during the first year after discontinuation of the drug.Conclusion: Denosumab therapy effectively increases BMD in the spine and PF and decreases CTx levels both in untreated patients and in those who previously received AT. It is necessary to discontinue therapy, further management of the patient should be discussed to prevent «withdrawal syndrome».
Temperance and Epistemic Purity in Plato’s Phaedo
Authors: Marechal Patricia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this paper I examine the moral psychology of the Phaedo and argue that the philosophical life in this dialogue is a temperate life, and that temperance consists in exercising epistemic discernment by actively withdrawing assent from incorrect evaluations the body inclines us to make. Philosophers deal with bodily affections by taking a correct epistemic stance. Exercising temperance thus understood is a necessary condition both for developing and strengthening rational capacities, and for fixing accurate beliefs about value. The purification philosophers strive for, and the purifying role of philosophy, should then be understood as a clarificatory act consisting in making one’s thoughts clear and withdrawing assent from erroneous evaluative content in our desires and pleasures. Along the way, I argue that philosophers must neither avoid situations and activities that cause bodily affections as much as possible, nor ignore or care little about them.

Published: November 2021

Resumen

Objetivos
Determinar las concentraciones de proteína de unión a los ácidos grasos cardíaca (HFABP) en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca con fracción de eyección reducida (ICFEr) y su potencial valor pronóstico.

Métodos
Se determinaron las concentraciones circulantes de HFABP mediante un inmunoensayo quimioluminiscente automático en 25 voluntarios sanos y 60 pacientes con ICFEr.

Resultados
Los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) presentaron concentraciones de HFABP significativamente mayores que los voluntarios sanos. Se observó una correlación significativa entre los niveles de HFABP, la clasificación de la New York Heart Association (NYHA), y las concentraciones de los biomarcadores de disfunción y remodelado cardíaco (NT-proBNP, FGF-23 y galectina-3). Las concentraciones de HFABP también mostraron valor predictivo de muerte cardiovascular, y su combinación con NT-proBNP podría ser sinérgica a la hora de evaluar el riesgo.

Conclusiónes
Las concentraciones de HFABP están aumentadas en los pacientes con ICFEr, se relacionan con el riesgo cardiovascular y podrían ayudar a los especialistas en el manejo de los pacientes.
Discursive strategies of self-promotion by doctors in online medical consultations in China: an e-commercialised practice
Authors: Zhang Yu 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The online mode of medical consultation has been gaining increasing popularity. Online medical consultation (OMC) in China is largely mediated through e-healthcare websites which are featured with an online evaluation system for patients and caregivers to assess OMC doctors’ service. The evaluation system facilitates an e-commercialised way for delivering healthcare services. It is of interest to study how doctors make efforts to promote themselves in the e-commercialised OMC practice, in particular how language is used to elicit positive comments and evaluations in doctors’ self-promotion. However, this, to my best knowledge, has not been studied. The present study thus examines discursive strategies for eliciting feedback by doctors who contribute to OMCs on a widely used e-healthcare website in China. By the approach of mediated discourse analysis, five strategies have been identified. These discursive strategies are discussed in relation to the disruption of stereotypical roles of doctor and patient and the influence of non-stereotypical positions on power relations between doctors and patients. This study provides a new perspective on doctor-patient relationship and serves as a starting point for further studying neoliberal medical discourse.

Abstract
In order to make teaching of French for specific purposes more effective, a needs analysis is a necessary step to determine the real needs of students who prepare to use French language at work on a regular basis. Therefore, cooperation between universities and companies or authorities active in labour market is very important. A detailed needs analysis enables us to identify various communication situations, both formal and informal, as well as the possible imperfections in students’ language competence and problematic areas typical for work environment. This article presents results of a qualitative research on French for specific purposes and experience of Czech students during internships in France, using the Grounded Theory Method (GTM). The research sample is composed of eight Czech students of a double degree of French-Czech Public Administration diploma from Masaryk University and University of Rennes 1, and of their French tutors. In their final year of studies, the students spend a two-month internship in French public administration authorities in the city of Rennes. Throughout the internships, the researcher conducted extensive individual interviews. Based on the findings of a thorough and detailed analysis, problematic areas and needs of language and intercultural competence development are identified. The author suggests topics to be integrated in French for specific purposes courses or a new course of an international mobility preparation.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe shape and material of the collector configuration in photovoltaic thermal collectors (PVTs) are adjusted to alter the effectiveness of thermal conductivity. Good thermal conductivity between units plays an important role in heat absorption, and photovoltaic modules can increase electrical and thermal efficiency. In this study, a 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation of collector design in PVTs was carried out using Solidworks. The modeling was carried out on variations in the shape of boxes, pipe boxes, and triangle boxes with aluminum, copper, and mild steel materials on the thermal collector. The triangular box shape made of copper in the collector had a minimum temperature of 301.01 K when the heat generated was 1,000 W/m2and the flow volume was 0.0005 m3/s. The difference in the heat generation rate and volume flow rate in each collector variation affects the collector temperature.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the stability and reactivation of preexisting Tonghua landslide deposits in China, including the adjacent stable slope. We used an integrated approach, combining a multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). We used ERT to determine groundwater seepage paths, weathering conditions, water content, and the depth to bedrock. High-resolution two-dimensional (2D) shear-wave velocity MASW images, on the other hand, played an essential role in detecting both horizontal and vertical compositions, disjointedness, and sliding surfaces related to lithological borders. Based on seismic models, we considered four geological layers encountered in the stable slope, including fractured (gravel) and weathered (phyllite) materials, as a sliding mass. We combined the 2D resistivity profiles obtained to create pseudo-three-dimensional ERT images to estimate water-saturated and unsaturated masses. From the tomography results, we identified different preexisting deposits, including buried arable clay deposits, old accumulated earthflow deposits, a water accumulation zone, and a fissure runoff. Based on the resistivity results, the bottom of the earthflow deposits is susceptible to water, and oversaturation can reactivate the earthflow.
Classification of wood knots using artificial neural networks with texture and local feature-based image descriptors

Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper describes feature-based techniques for wood knot classification. For automated classification of macroscopic wood knot images, models were established using artificial neural networks with texture and local feature descriptors, and the performances of feature extraction algorithms were compared. Classification models trained with texture descriptors, gray-level co-occurrence matrix and local binary pattern, achieved better performance than those trained with local feature descriptors, scale-invariant feature transform and dense scale-invariant feature transform. Hence, it was confirmed that wood knot classification was more appropriate for texture classification rather than an approach based on morphological classification. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix produced the highest F1 score despite representing images with relatively low-dimensional feature vectors. The scale-invariant feature transform algorithm could not detect a sufficient number of features from the knot images; hence, the histogram of oriented gradients and dense scale-invariant feature transform algorithms that describe the entire image were better for wood knot classification. The artificial neural network model provided better classification performance than the support vector machine and k-nearest neighbor models, which suggests the suitability of the nonlinear classification model for wood knot classification.
Numerical study on key issues in the Eulerian-Eulerian simulation of fluidization with wide particle size distributions
Authors: Liu Yang , Wang Haigang , Song Yinqiang , Qi Haiying 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Gas-particle flows in circulating fluidized beds (CFB) with wide particle size distributions were simulated using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach to analyze the effects of the particle phase division and the applicability of the particle-particle drag model. The results indicate that the simulation is not accurate by just using a single average particle diameter when the particle size distribution includes a critical particle diameter. A binary particle phase division criterion was then developed to establish two particle phases representing two types of particles with different flow patterns. Coupling the Eulerian-Eulerian approach with the new criterion enabled accurate predictions of the pressures, particle volume fractions, and particle mass circulation rates that were in agreement with experimental data. The influences of different particle-particle drag models were also investigated to show that the simulation using the Syamlal model was not accurate due to the overestimated particle-particle drag, while the results without particle-particle drag and with the Manger model were similar and much more accurate. Moreover, the flow mechanism for the non-uniformity of particle circulation rates in the parallel circulating loops of the CFB boiler was revealed. This study improves the Eulerian-Eulerian simulations of fluidization with wide particle size distributions and further deepens the understanding of flow characteristics in CFB.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article studies a six-bit digital phase shifter and its compatible design through different physiognomies. Furthermore, the communication circuits are applied based on modern knowledge by application. The study started with the initial values of 5.625° as the digital phase shifter is programmed discrete and advanced to a 64-step size. Moreover, the properties of bandwidth are computed by 6.44–10.85 GHz. (C-X band) is related to the phase shifter around the frequency, so the full improvement of 66 dB of the phase shifter is 7 dB. Besides, the phase is changing in array antenna and secondhand in optimal Design. Finally, the study discusses dissimilar kinds of digital phase shifters, to study the parameters that affects the design in future cases.

Abstract

Objectives
Evidence for the contribution of the brain-gut-microbiota axis to the depression pathophysiology is increasing nowadays. Disturbed gut microbiota equilibrium along with bad dietary habits both lead to kynurenine pathway abnormalities contributing to the depression pathophysiology. In this respect, many studies are found but the interventional clinical trials are limited. The present interventional study aims to evaluate the impact of Bifidobacterium spp. supplementation together with improving dietary intake on depressive mood and well-being and their correlation with kynurenine blood level in adult Egyptian healthy volunteers.

Methods
A number of 98 healthy female volunteers with a mean age of 46.96 ± 1.82 years were selected and enrolled in this study. They were given yogurt enriched with Bifidobacterium spp. daily for eight weeks. Clinical examination as well as questionnaires for the evaluation of psychological well-being and depression were done at base line and after eight weeks of intervention. Fasting blood samples and stool samples were collected from all subjects at baseline and eight weeks after the intervention for the investigation of serum kynurenine concentration, blood hemoglobin, serum transaminases (ALT & AST) serum urea and creatinine as well as fecal Bifidobacterium count.

Results
Data revealed that both depression and well-being showed highly significant improvement combined with significant drop in kynurenine blood level after intervention. Also, a significant rise in fecal Bifidobacterium count and a significant improvement in hemoglobin level and activity of liver enzymes were recorded. After intervention, a significant negative correlation was recorded between depression and fecal Bifidobacterium count as well as between serum kynurenine level, and well-being.

Conclusion

Bifidobacterium spp. supplementation combined with improvement in dietary intake resulted in improvement of depressive mood and well-being and reduced kynurenine blood level.

Published: November 2021

Zusammenfassung
Die Unterbringung in einer Entziehungsanstalt ist geregelt in § 64 StGB. Diese Vorschrift steht vor einer grundlegenden Novelle. Damit werden sich voraussichtlich ab 2022 die Rahmenbedingungen forensischer Suchtbehandlung für Untergebrachte, forensisch-psychiatrische Sachverständige und Behandelnde des Maßregelvollzugs deutlich ändern. Der Artikel zielt darauf, einen Überblick zu geben über die aktuellen Probleme und Herausforderungen der Behandlung gem. § 64 StGB, sowie über die diversen Reformvorschläge. Dazu werden die bestehenden Vorschläge skizziert, zueinander und zu den ermittelten Problemen in Bezug gesetzt und diskutiert.Die Vorschläge stimmen dahingehend überein, die Eingangsvoraussetzungen des § 64 StGB einzuengen, unterscheiden sich aber im Konkreten. Konsens herrscht weitgehend bezüglich der Abschaffung der sogenannten »Halbstrafenregelung« und der Änderung juristischer Begrifflichkeiten i. S. einer Anpassung an den psychiatrischen Sprachgebrauch sowie dem Ausbau bzw. der Neuetablierung von alternativen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Zusätzlich diskutieren manche Vorschläge die Etablierung probatorischer Behandlungen und die engere Gestaltung der Konnexität zwischen Suchtproblematik und Delinquenzneigung. Als besonders weitreichend imponiert ein Vorschlag der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik und Nervenheilkunde (DGPPN), die Unterbringungsanordnung an die Zustimmung und Demonstration von Behandlungsbereitschaft der Betroffenen zu knüpfen. Aus Sicht der Autoren erscheinen einige der Vorschläge durchaus geeignet, den skizzierten Problemen forensischer Suchtbehandlung zu begegnen, andere werden kritischer gesehen. Darüber hinaus sollte die Reform genutzt werden, die gesetzliche Forderung nach einer »hinreichend konkreten« Aussicht auf einen Behandlungserfolg zu revidieren.

Abstract
Wood fibers, bamboo fibers and rice husk were applied to the adsorption of uranium from aqueous solution to understand the uranium adsorption behavior and mechanism by these natural sorbents. The effects of time, adsorbent particle size, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature and initial concentration were studied using batch technique. The adsorption mechanism was discussed by isothermal adsorption models, adsorption kinetic models. The results suggested that the three biomass adsorbents showed great efficiency of adsorption for uranium. The adsorption capacity of biosorbents of comparatively small particle size and large dosage is quite high. Uranium adsorption achieved a maximum adsorption amount at around pH 3 for wood fibers and bamboo fibers, and around pH 5 for rice husk. All isotherms fitted well to the Langmuir Freundlich and D-R equation, indicating that the adsorption process is favorable and dominated by ion exchange. Rice husk had a highest adsorption capacity, followed by bamboo fibers, while wood fibers had little uranium adsorption under the studied conditions, and the adsorption capacity was 12.22, 11.27 and 11.04 mg/g, respectively. The equilibrium data was well represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating that the adsorption rate was controlled by chemical adsorption. Ion exchange was the main adsorption mechanism, and the exchange ions were mainly Na+ and K+.
