New sight at the organization of layers of multilayer polyelectrolyte microcapsules
Authors: Musin Egor V. , Kim Aleksandr L. , Dubrovskii Alexey V. , Tikhonenko Sergey A. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractIn this work, the mutual arrangement of polyelectrolytes of multilayer polyelectrolyte microcapsules (with layers—[PAH/PSS]3PAH) by determination of the dissociation level of polyallylamine (PAH) from the surface of a polyelectrolyte microcapsules (PMC) of various types was studied: PMC with a dissolved CaCO3 core after preparation, PMC with an undissolved CaCO3 core and PMC with an encapsulated protein. It was concluded that the polyelectrolyte layers are mixed in the entire shell of the capsules with a dissolved CaCO3 core. In the case of the PMC with an undissolved CaCO3 core, such mixing of polyelectrolyte layers does not occur. That fact allows us to conclude that the mixing of polyelectrolytes layers mixing at the stage of dissolution of CaCO3 core. The PMC with encapsulated protein has partial mixing of polyelectrolytes layers. That phenomenon may be due to the fact that seven-layered protein-containing microcapsules already have a dense and well-formed shell. The obtained data correlate with the data on the study of the surface charge of microcapsules.

Published: July 2021

AbstractThis study described the subcapsular technique for primary closure castration in donkeys with special regard to its efficiency and welfare impacts. The study was conducted on twelve adult male donkeys, allocated randomly into two groups; subcapsular castration (SC) and open castration (OC) groups, whether the donkeys were subjected to surgical castration either by subcapsular or open castration techniques, respectively. Testosterone, cortisol, lactate, glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and nitric oxide (NO) were measured before and after castration. Pain-associated behavioral activities were recorded post-castration. The SC was successfully performed in donkeys through a single paramedian scrotal incision. The SC was efficient as OC in reducing testosterone levels. The pain score decreased in the SC compared to the OC over time. The SC was an efficient and reliable technique for primary closure castration in donkeys with minimal postoperative complications and care and good cosmetic, physiological, and behavioral outcomes. It can be an alternative to other castration techniques in equines.
Surface related laser induced white emission of Cr:YAG ceramic
Authors: Chaika M. , Tomala R. , Strek W. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractIn this work we report the white light emission in transparent Cr:YAG ceramic pellet upon irradiation with focused beam of CW infrared laser diode. It was found that this phenomenon is specifically related to interaction of laser beam with a surface of the pellet. The white light was emitted outside an irradiated spot at the surface of the pellet and did not penetrate inside the pellet. Moreover, the red emission related to two-photon absorption along the laser beam penetrating the Cr3+:YAG pellet was observed. Interaction of the laser beam with the surface of the pellet leads to an efficient white light emission from an outer side of the pellet. The resulting white light emission did not entry back the pellet. Multiphoton ionization leading to intervalence charge transfer followed by light emission was proposed as the mechanism of experimentally observed white light emission.

Published: July 2021

AbstractPediatric very rare tumors (VRTs) represent a heterogeneous subset of childhood cancers, with reliable survival estimates depending dramatically on each (un)registered case. The current study aimed to evaluate the number of VRTs among Lithuanian children, to assess the impact of the registration status on survival rates and to track changes in treatment outcomes over the 16-year study period. We performed a population-based retrospective study across children below 18 years old diagnosed with VRTs in Lithuania between the years 2000 and 2015. The identified cases were cross-checked with the Lithuanian Cancer Registry—a population-based epidemiology cancer registry—for the fact of registration and survival status. The overall survival was calculated in relation to the registration status and treatment period. Thirty-seven children with VRTs were identified within the defined time frame. Six of them (16.2%) were not reported to the Lithuanian Cancer Registry at diagnosis. The probability of overall survival at 5 years (OS5y) differed significantly between the registered (n = 31) and unregistered (n = 6) cohorts: 51.6% versus 100%, respectively (p = 0.049). A 5-year survival estimate for children diagnosed with a VRT at the age of 0–14 years differed by 10 percentage points according to the registration completeness: 52.1% calculated for the entire cohort versus 42.1% for registered patients only. The OS5y has not improved over the analyzed period: 61.1% in 2000–2007 versus 57.9% in 2008–2015 (p = 0.805). The survival continued to decline beyond 5 years post-diagnosis due to late cancer-related adverse events: 59.5% of patients were alive at 5 years as compared to 44.3% at 10 years. The OS5y of children affected by VRT was lower than in more common childhood cancers. The survival rate of the unregistered patients may lead to misinterpretation of treatment outcomes. Meticulous registration of VRTs is crucial for correct evaluation of treatment outcomes, especially across small countries with few cases.
Nutrient regulation of inflammatory signalling in obesity and vascular disease
Authors: Palmer Timothy M. , Salt Ian P. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Despite obesity and diabetes markedly increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie this association remain poorly characterised. In the last 20 years it has become apparent that chronic, low-grade inflammation in obese adipose tissue may contribute to the risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, increased vascular pro-inflammatory signalling is a key event in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Overnutrition exacerbates pro-inflammatory signalling in vascular and adipose tissues, with several mechanisms proposed to mediate this. In this article, we review the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which nutrients are proposed to regulate pro-inflammatory signalling in adipose and vascular tissues. In addition, we examine the potential therapeutic opportunities that these mechanisms provide for suppression of inappropriate inflammation in obesity and vascular disease.

Published: July 2021

PurposeThe aim of this pilot study is to gather preliminary results on the effectiveness of intensive, parent-oriented, telepractice-based intervention to improve language skills in preschool children with neuromotor and intellectual disorders.MethodNine preschool children (M= 63 months,SD= 8.7 months) underwent a telepractice program 4 times a week designed to promote speech, lexical, and syntactic skills. Families were remotely connected from home with the therapists, who controlled the rehabilitation procedures from the hospital. The number of stable phonemes, of understood and repeated words, and of understood and repeated sentences were evaluated as outcome measures 3 months (prebaseline) and 1 week (baseline) before the intervention, immediately after the intervention (T1) and at a 3-month follow-up (T2).ResultsAn increase in the number of stable phonemes was detected after the treatment, even if it was not statistically significant. After the intervention program, there was a significant increase in the number of understood words (ratio T1 vs. baseline: 1.33; 95% CI [1.03, 1.71]) and repeated words (ratio T1 vs. baseline: 1.39; 95% CI [1.00, 1.92]), as well as of understood sentences (ratio T1 vs. baseline: 1.80; 95% CI [1.24, 2.35]) and repeated sentences (ratio T1 vs. baseline: 4.23; 95% CI [1.96, 9.12]). No significant differences were found when comparing all the outcome measures at prebaseline and at baseline.ConclusionAn intensive, parent-oriented, telepractice-based intervention has the potential to increase scores of lexical and syntactic tasks in children with neuromotor and intellectual disorders.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis on Communication and Quality of Life: Insights From a Community of Stroke and Brain Trauma Survivors
Authors: Fama Mackenzie E. , Hatfield Brooke , Coyle Suzanne , Richman Melissa S. , Georgeadis Amy C. 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines that have the potential to greatly impact individuals' behavior and social engagement. Adults recovering from stroke or other brain trauma, who often have communication difficulties and other long-term challenges, are a population already at risk of isolation and lower quality of life. We investigated the impact of public health guidelines and related behavioral changes on self-perceptions of communication abilities and psychosocial factors in this population.

Method
The Stroke Comeback Center, a community-based center for stroke and other brain trauma survivors with communication impairments, disseminated an online survey to current members to investigate changes in communication, social engagement, and quality of life.

Results

Participants (
N
= 50) reported a number of changes in their day-to-day activities that reflect the current social distancing guidelines, such as reduced outings into the community and fewer in-person conversations with those living outside one's home. Overall, feelings of connectedness to others and overall quality of life were reported to be decreased when compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas receptive language abilities and technology skills were reported to have improved. Perhaps most interestingly, certain behavioral changes (including healthy movement activities and participation in virtual programs) had specific relationships with perceived communication abilities and social engagement.

Conclusions
Changes in daily life resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have had a tangible impact on self-perceived psychosocial elements (e.g., quality of life) and communication abilities among stroke and other brain trauma survivors. Clinicians and researchers may consider these perceived changes when engaging with this population as the effects of the pandemic continue and in the period of community re-entry that may follow.

It's Not Such a Small World After All: The Intersection of Food, Identity, and the Speech-Language Pathologist
Authors: Leslie Paula , Xia Bridget , Yoo Jaemin 
Published: July 2021

PurposeWorking with patients and families with different cultural backgrounds is now commonplace in all areas of speech-language pathology. This includes supporting those with eating, drinking, and swallowing problems. Becoming more culturally sensitive as clinicians requires us to think less ofthem versus us,and insteadwhat matters to them,andhow best for us to provideexpert care.Our starting point for this important topic is not how we tweak our clinical recommendations to fit someone's “culture.” Rather, let us examine what is culture and how should it factor into our professional work? We need to understand how our patients and families view health and well-being, or lack thereof, in general. This will enable us to frame our support and offer optimal care to all stakeholders. This leads naturally to a consideration of the concepts of autonomy, informed consent, and how these factor into person-centered care, and shared decision making.ConclusionsAs well as gaining an understanding of the frameworks of health and illness, we consider how food and drink are much more than mere nutrition and hydration. Foods signal our individual and collective identities. Thus, to be a respectful and professional clinician, we need to appreciate our role as a cultural guest with all whom we serve. We propose that there is no such thing as being “culturally competent.” Expert clinicians possess a respect for the patient and theirexpertise-by-experienceof health and illness. Such respect is founded in the position of cultural humility, to be a guest of someone's world view, in the same way that we respect being a guest in a patient's physical home.
Parametric identification of output error model for sampled systems with integer‐type time delay subject to load disturbance with unknown dynamics
Authors: Pandey Saurabh , Liu Tao , Wang Qing‐Guo 
Published: July 2021

AbstractIn this paper, a bias‐eliminated output error (OE) model identification method is proposed for single‐input‐single‐output sampled systems with integer‐type time delay subject to load disturbance with unknown dynamics. By viewing the load disturbance response as a time‐variant parameter, an iterative least‐squares identification algorithm is established to estimate the rational model parameters together with an integer‐type delay parameter, while the disturbance response could be simultaneously estimated. To overcome the adverse effect of stochastic noise involved with output measurement, an auxiliary model is constructed to predict the noise‐free system response. Moreover, a set of adaptive forgetting factors is introduced to expedite the convergence rate of model parameter estimation and the tracking performance of load disturbance response, respectively. In addition, a monotonically rising profile for evaluating the delay parameter is proposed for implementing the above iterative least‐squares algorithm, in order to avoid the occurrence of multiple local minima of the loss function for model fitting. The asymptotic convergence on estimating the rational model parameters together with the delay parameter is analysed with a proof. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed method.

Aims. We present the analysis of the microlensing event KMT-2018-BLG-1743. The analysis was conducted as a part of the project, in which previous lensing events detected in and before the 2019 season by the KMTNet survey were reinvestigated with the aim of finding solutions of anomalous events with no suggested plausible models.
Methods. The light curve of the event, with a peak magnification Apeak ~ 800, exhibits two anomaly features, one around the peak and the other on the falling side of the light curve. An interpretation with a binary lens and a single source (2L1S) cannot describe the anomalies. By conducting additional modeling that includes an extra lens (3L1S) or an extra source (2L2S) relative to a 2L1S interpretation, we find that 2L2S interpretations with a planetary lens system and a binary source best explain the observed light curve with Δχ2 ~ 188 and ~91 over the 2L1S and 3L1S solutions, respectively. Assuming that these Δχ2 values are adequate for distinguishing the models, the event is the fourth 2L2S event and the second 2L2S planetary event. The 2L2S interpretations are subject to a degeneracy, resulting in two solutions with s > 1.0 (wide solution) and s < 1.0 (close solution).
Results. The masses of the lens components and the distance to the lens are (Mhost/M⊙,Mplanet/MJ,DL/kpc)~(0.19−0.111+0.27,0.25−0.14+0.34,6.48−1.03+0.94) and ~(0.42−0.25+0.34,1.61−0.97+1.30,6.04−1.27+0.93) according to the wide and close solutions, respectively. The source is a binary composed of an early G dwarf and a mid M dwarf. The values of the relative lens-source proper motion expected from the two degenerate solutions, μwide ~ 2.3 mas yr−1 and μclose ~ 4.1 mas yr−1, are substantially different, and thus the degeneracy can be broken by resolving the lens and source from future high-resolution imaging observations.

Context.During the performance verification phase of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma eROSITA telescope, the eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) was carried out. It covers a 140 deg2field located at 126° < RA < 146° and–3° < Dec < + 6° with a nominal unvignetted exposure over the field of 2.2 ks. Five hundred and forty-two candidate clusters and groups were detected in this field, down to a flux limitFX~10–14erg s–1cm–2in the 0.5–2 keV band.Aims.In order to understand radio-mode feedback in galaxy clusters, we study the radio emission of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) of eFEDS clusters and groups, and we relate it to the X-ray properties of the host cluster.Methods.Using LOFAR, we identified 227 radio galaxies hosted in the BCGs of the 542 galaxy clusters and groups detected in eFEDS. We treated non-detections as radio upper limits. We analysed the properties of radio galaxies, such as redshift and luminosity distribution, offset from the cluster centre, largest linear size, and radio power. We studied their relation to the intracluster medium of the host cluster.Results.We find that BCGs with radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) are more likely to lie close to the cluster centre than radioquiet BCGs. There is a clear relation between the cluster X-ray luminosity and the 144 MHz radio power of the BCG. Statistical tests indicate that this correlation is not produced by biases or selection effects in the radio band. We see no apparent link between largest linear size of the radio galaxy and the central density in the host cluster. Converting the radio luminosity into kinetic luminosity, we find that radiative losses of the intracluster medium are in an overall balance with the heating provided by the central AGN. Finally, we tentatively classify our objects into disturbed and relaxed based on different morphological parameters, and we show that the link between the AGN and the ICM apparently holds for both subsamples, regardless of the dynamical state of the cluster.

Published: July 2021

AbstractAn incisional hernia is being a universal problem and topic of discussion worldwide. There is no clear-cut guideline of abdominal wall closure after major abdominal surgeries that can effectively prevent the occurrence of incisional hernia. We found out that most of the patients presented with pain over previous surgery scar with swelling. The defect was usually larger than 2 cm. Most postoperative patients complaint of pain, seroma, and hematoma formation. There was a minimal recurrence rate after onlay mesh repair in our setup.
EMI-cum-acceleration policy in the contemporary transnational HE market
Authors: Barnawi Osman Z. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Conceptualizing EMI-cum-acceleration policy in a transnational HE market as the regulation and
institutionalization of language practices through a chronometrical approach to time for the sake of global economic competition
and social mobility, this qualitative case study explores the experiences and enactments of such a policy by six engineering
students at Manar University (a pseudonym) in Saudi Arabia. The data were gathered from analysis of policy documents, individual
interviews, and a group interview. The findings reveal that the ways in which each student negotiates, resists, and desires such a
policy suggest that an individual has some temporal resources and autonomy to make sense of “the acceleration experience” within
the broader “structural forces of acceleration” (Vostal, 2016, p. 117) created at the
university. It was also found that students are positioned in a double-bind-between the capitalist logic of accumulation and
competition (speed), and the democratic value of equity in the EMI program.
Implementing English-medium instruction
Authors: Sahan Kari 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
As part of the trend toward internationalization of higher education, governments and universities have introduced
policies to encourage the expansion of English-medium instruction (EMI). However, top-down policies do not necessarily translate
to teaching and learning practices. This article provides a case study examining the implementation of undergraduate EMI
engineering programs at a state university in Turkey to explore the gaps that exist between national- and institutional-level EMI
policies and classroom-level practices. Data were collected through policy documents, classroom observations, semi-structured
interviews with teachers, and focus group discussions with students. The findings suggest that the implementation of EMI varies
across classrooms, even within the same university department. Despite policies that envision one-language-at-a-time instruction,
the EMI lecturers in this study varied in terms of language preference and teaching practice in their EMI lectures. Implications
are discussed with respect to policy planning, teacher training, and the expansion of EMI across university contexts.
Fighting an indestructible monster
Authors: Lischka Juliane A. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
U.S. journalism during the Trump era has experienced numerous legitimacy attacks by the leading political figure. Building on the concepts of institutional legitimacy and intentional trust, this study analyzes legitimation narratives in projections of journalism’s future, using the Harvard University’s NiemanLab Predictions of Journalism from 2017 to 2021. Projectory narratives are meaningful constructions of a field’s future and provide guidance for its actors. The qualitative analysis of a Trump-related subset of predictions (ca. n = 130) convey (1) confrontational narratives of threat, self-reproach, and epistemological authority loss. Confrontational narratives serve to secure consent for suggested transparency and audience relationship building solutions. These (2) solution narratives represent trustification strategies. Lastly, (3) survival narratives aim at regaining authority and agency through legacy mythopoesis and the construction of a cautiously optimistic post-Trump outlook for journalism. Hence, the analysis of projectory narratives reveals how an organizational field collectively prepares for change to regain legitimacy.
