Published: December 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Human growth hormone (hGH) provocation test is an essential tool to assess growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children and young adults. It is important to have a robust method to determine the hGH peak of stimulation. This work aimed to compare three common automated immunoassays for hGH quantification and to ascertain whether there are still result-related differences which can impact clinical decision.

Methods
We analyzed the GH provocation test for 39 young subjects from pediatric department of Montpellier hospital, admitted for suspicion of growth hormone deficiency. The full range of measurements as well as the peak level of serum GH were compared using three automated immunoassays on three different immunoanalyzers: IDS-hGH on iSYS, LIAISON-hGH on Liaison XL and Elecsys ROCHE-hGH, on COBAS 8000.

Results
A good correlation was obtained between methods for all measurements (r
2>0.99) by using Passing–Bablok regression analysis. Bland–Altman analysis showed the best agreement between IDS-hGH and LIAISON-hGH systems (bias=−14.5%) compared to Elecsys ROCHE-hGH (bias=28.3%). When considering stratification of the study population and a unique cutoff, there were some discrepancies in interpretation of the results especially concerning the more recent Elecsys ROCHE-hGH assay. Nevertheless, when the adequate cutoff for each method was taken into account results were well correlated for all systems.

Conclusions
A cutoff for Elecsys Roche-hGH method was established to better explain the results. Clinician must be aware of the use of assay-specific cutoff to correctly integrate the results of GH tests in the GHD diagnosis.
Hyperembodiment
Authors: Hougaard Anders 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe article introduces hyperembodiment as a general feature of artefacts for perception and representation and as a research agenda for cognitive semiotics and cognitive science at large. At the heart of the article, I offer analyses of two different selected examples: Hyperembodiment in a Facetime conversation and in a Snapchat message. These digital productions of appearances of social interactants are analysed with particular attention to their intercorporeal qualities and it is argued that social perception is facilitated which takes the users of visual, interpersonal communication devices beyond the corporeal limits of ordinary ways of being present for each other. Broadening the scope, I then discuss how a general focus on hyperembodiment opens new, productive avenues of inquiry. First, I relate hyperembodiment to the heterogenous field of social presence research and suggest how it may contribute to it. Thereafter I discuss hyperembodiment as a topic of cognitive semiotics.
Quasi-isometric rigidity for graphs of virtually free groups with two-ended edge groups
Authors: Shepherd Sam , Woodhouse Daniel J. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
We study the quasi-isometric rigidity of a large family of finitely generated groups that split as graphs of groups with virtually free vertex groups and two-ended edge groups.
Let G be a group that is one-ended, hyperbolic relative to virtually abelian subgroups, and has JSJ decomposition over two-ended subgroups containing only virtually free vertex groups that are not quadratically hanging.
Our main result is that any group quasi-isometric to G is abstractly commensurable to G. In particular, our result applies to certain “generic” HNN extensions of a free group over cyclic subgroups.
Unbounded negativity on rational surfaces in positive characteristic
Authors: Cheng Raymond , van Dobben de Bruyn Remy 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
We give explicit blowups of the projective plane in positive characteristic
that contain smooth rational curves of arbitrarily negative self-intersection,
showing that the Bounded Negativity Conjecture fails even for rational surfaces
in positive characteristic. As a consequence, we show that any surface in
positive characteristic admits a birational model failing the Bounded
Negativity Conjecture.

Published: December 2021

ZusammenfassungAngesichts der Klimakrise steht die Rolle und das Selbstverständnis der Wirtschaftswissenschaften auf dem Prüfstand. Schon die Große Finanzkrise 2007/2008 legte die Krise der ökonomischen Disziplin offen und eröffnete damit Veränderungspotenzial. (Wie) wurde dieser Möglichkeitsraum seither gefüllt? Unser Beitrag skizziert die jüngsten Entwicklungen der Ökonomik im Allgemeinen und diskutiert diese insbesondere im Bezug auf Finanzmärkte: Insgesamt sind einige Veränderungen in Richtung Pluralität zu verzeichnen. Wir resümieren jedoch, dass der paradigmatische Kern des ökonomischen Mainstreams im Wesentlichen erhalten geblieben ist. Die ökologische Krise stellt erneut auch eine Krise der ökonomischen Disziplin dar.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Optical imaging systems, like microscopes, cameras, and telescopes, continue to expand the scope of human observation of the world. As one of the key indicators of imaging systems, the field-of-view (FOV) is often limited by coma aberration. Expanding it generally relies on a combination of complex lenses, leading to a bulky and cumbersome system. Recently, the emergency of meta-optics provides an alternative to constructing compact and lightweight large-FOV metalens through elaborated phase modulation within a flat surface, showing great potential in surveillance, unmanned vehicles, onboard planes or satellites, medical science, and other new applications. In this article, we review recent advances of wide-angle metalenses, including operation principles, design strategies, and application demos. Firstly, basic principles of wide-angle imaging using a single metalens are interpreted. Secondly, some advanced methods for designing subwavelength structures with high angle robustness and high efficiency are discussed. Thirdly, some representative functional devices and applications are surveyed. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on future potentials and challenges that need to be overcome.

Published: December 2021

Zanimanje za istraživanje povezanosti inovativnosti s izvoznom sposobnosti i poslovnom uspješnosti poduzeća proizlazi iz potrebe za što bržim gospodarskim rastom. U hrvatskom je gospodarstvu situacija krajnje složena uz nisku stopu rasta BDP-a, deficit vanjskotrgovinske razmjene, visoku razinu vanjskog duga i druge okolnosti. Navedeno zahtijeva velike promjene u ekonomskoj politici Republike Hrvatske, a zbog važnosti međunarodne razmjene za gospodarski razvoj zemlje, povećanje izvozne sposobnosti hrvatskih poduzeća jedna je od važnijih determinanti dugoročnoga gospodarskog rasta. Stoga je znanstveno opravdano i utemeljeno istražiti povezanost inovativnosti, posebice njezinih dimenzija, s povećanjem izvozne sposobnosti i uspješnosti poslovanja poduzeća. Cilj ovoga rada je ispitati mijenja li se model povezanosti inovativnosti i njezinih dimenzija s izvozom, uspješnosti poslovanja u razdoblju 2016. – 2019. u hrvatskim poduzećima. Pri obradi podataka provedena je analiza kovarijance i regresijska analiza. Rezultati pokazuju da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika između inovativnosti i izvoza u 2016. i 2019. godini. Isto tako, utvrđeno je da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika između povezanosti inovativnosti s uspješnosti poslovanja u 2016. i 2019. godini. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja imaju značajne teorijske i praktične implikacije.

Published: December 2021

Bahay Pagbabago ni Apong Pilar is a community-based, church-initiated, and DDB (Dangerous Drugs Board) recognized and accredited formation shelter in San Simon, Pampanga. Using the sequential explanatory design, this study conducted surveys and focused-group discussions with 32 reformists to assess the shelter's formation program based on the reformists' standpoints. Quantitative results using Spearman's rank correlations showed that there seemed to be a significant relationship between attitude towards livelihood (ρ (2) = 6.589, sig. = 0.037*, p < 0.05) and spiritual activities (ρ (27) = 0.587**, p < 0.01), as formative components of the program, and perceived self-improvement (ρ (2) = 13.573, sig. = 0.001**, p < 0.01) during their stay in the formation shelter. It suggests that as the reformist develops a more positive attitude towards the livelihood, sports, and spiritual activities being offered at the formation center, it is also more likely that they may develop a higher sense of self-improvement. Qualitative data yielded three general themes: (1) finding a higher purpose and deeper meaning in life through spiritually uplifting undertakings; (2) having family-oriented treatment, making them feel nothing less of their humanity; and (3) having holistic and dynamic activities, those that focus on the developmental facets. These are the elements deemed by the reformists as important, which constitute effective reintegration to their families, communities, and society.

OBJECTIVES
To characterize patterns of surgery among pediatric patients during terminal hospitalizations in children’s hospitals.

METHODS
We reviewed patients ≤20 years of age who died among 4 424 886 hospitalizations from January 2013–December 2019 within 49 US children’s hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System database. Surgical procedures, identified by International Classification of Diseases procedure codes, were classified by type and purpose. Descriptive statistics characterized procedures, and hypothesis testing determined if undergoing surgery varied by patient age, race and ethnicity, or the presence of chronic complex conditions (CCCs).

RESULTS
Among 33 693 terminal hospitalizations, the majority (n = 30 440, 90.3%) of children were admitted for nontraumatic causes. Of these children, 15 142 (49.7%) underwent surgery during the hospitalization, with the percentage declining over time (P &lt; .001). When surgical procedures were classified according to likely purpose, the most common were to insert or address hardware or catheters (31%), explore or aid in diagnosis (14%), attempt to rescue patient from mortality (13%), or obtain a biopsy (13%). Specific CCC types were associated with undergoing surgery. Surgery during terminal hospitalization was less likely among Hispanic children (47.8%; P &lt; .001), increasingly less likely as patient age increased, and more so for Black, Asian American, and Hispanic patients compared with white patients (P &lt; .001).

CONCLUSIONS
Nearly half of children undergo surgery during their terminal hospitalization, and accordingly, pediatric surgical care is an important aspect of end-of-life care in hospital settings. Differences observed across race and ethnicity categories of patients may reflect different preferences for and access to nonhospital-based palliative, hospice, and end-of-life care.
Family Law in the Context of a New Social Reality Formation: Doctrinal Principles of Law Enforcement
Authors: Ksenofontova D. S. 
Published: December 2021

Improving the legal regulation of family relations involves the search and implementation of new social, organizational, legal and other measures to support the functioning of the traditional institution of the family. At the same time, family legislation does not always take into account modern trends in the life of society, which to a certain extent hinders the exercise and protection of family rights, as well as ensuring a fair balance of interests of participants in family and other relationships. In this sense, in some cases, higher courts react most effectively, taking into account even minor changes in social reality in a timely manner.The transformation of the family law in the context of changing social reality is based on two conceptual principles: firstly, the preservation of traditional family values of Russian society and, as a consequence, the reflection of such at the legislative level and in judicial practice, and secondly, legislative and law enforcement response to the latest social practices. These principles of transformation of family law complement each other, allowing us to take into account the public demands of various social groups.The main directions of the modern transformation of family law, reflected in judicial practice, include the following. First, the expansion of the sphere of family law regulation of public relations is due to the complexity of the system of social relations. Second, it is the expansion of the system of intersectoral relations of family law, caused by the complexity of the legal regulation of public relations in general. Its consequences are a shift in emphasis in ensuring a fair balance of interests of participants in family and other legal relations, the strengthening of civil law principles in the regulation of family relations, giving traditional family law institutions new optional properties and purpose, including the penetration of public legal goals in the private legal field of family life. Third, it is to ensure gender balance in family relations at the law enforcement level.
Complex Slip Distribution of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo, China, Earthquake: An Event Occurring on the Slowly Slipping Fault

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The 21 May 2021 Maduo earthquake occurred on the Kunlun Mountain Pass–Jiangcuo fault (KMPJF), a seismogenic fault with no documented large earthquakes. To probe its kinematics, we first estimate the slip rates of the KMPJF and Tuosuo Lake segment (TLS, ∼75 km north of the KMPJF) of the East Kunlun fault (EKLF) based on the secular Global Positioning System (GPS) data using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Our model reveals that the slip rates of the KMPJF and TLS are 1.7 ± 0.8 and 7.1 ± 0.3 mm/yr, respectively. Then, we invert high-resolution GPS and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations to decipher the fault geometry and detailed coseismic slip distribution associated with the Maduo earthquake. The geometry of the KMPFJ significantly varies along strike, composed of five fault subsegments. The most slip is accommodated by two steeply dipping fault segments, with the patch of large sinistral slip concentrated in the shallow depth on a simple straight structure. The released seismic moment is ∼1.5×1020  N·m, equivalent to an Mw 7.39 event, with a peak slip of ∼9.3 m. Combining the average coseismic slip and slip rate of the main fault, an earthquake recurrence period of ∼1250−400+1120  yr is estimated. The Maduo earthquake reminds us to reevaluate the potential of seismic gaps where slip rates are low. Based on our calculated Coulomb failure stress, the Maduo earthquake imposes positive stress on the Maqin–Maqu segment of the EKLF, a long-recognized seismic gap, implying that it may accelerate the occurrence of the next major event in this region.

Abstract: This study will disclose that the construction of legal legislates in the Islamic area is influenced by a sharia-based law polit. This is because community elements are Muslim majority. This study's method is more likely to be a legal-normative study with a legal-political approach. The government's function as a legislator in the establishment of Sharia economic law, according to this study, cannot be separated from the participation of users, the majority of whom are Muslims. Abstrak: Penelitian ini akan mengungkap bahwa pembentukan legislasi hukum bidang Syariah di Indonesia dipengaruhi oleh politk hukum berbasis Syariah. Hal ini dikarenakan factor masyarakat yang mayoritas muslim. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini lebih cenderung pada kajian yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan politik hukum.Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pemerintah sebagai legislator dalam pembentukan hukum ekonmi Syariah tidak terlepas dari peranan pengguna, yang mayoritasnya beragama Islam.
Efecto de los rasgos de personalidad sobre el autocontrol en estudiantes universitarios de Argentina
Authors: Galli Juan Ignacio , Del Valle Macarena Verónica , Zamora Eliana Vanesa , Canet-Juric Lorena 
Published: December 2021

Los rasgos de personalidad han sido propuestos como posibles factores que pueden contribuir a explicar las diferencias individuales en el autocontrol. Sin embargo, los resultados reportados en la literatura sobre el tema son, en cierta medida, contradictorios. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el efecto de los cinco rasgos de personalidad sobre el autocontrol en estudiantes universitarios de Argentina. Los análisis de correlación evidenciaron un patrón de correlaciones positivas entre las puntuaciones en autocontrol y los rasgos responsabilidad y amabilidad, así como relaciones negativas entre neuroticismo y las medidas de autocontrol. A su vez, se presentaron correlaciones negativas entre el rasgo apertura a la experiencia y la dimensión control de los impulsos. Los análisis de regresión mostraron que los rasgos de personalidad en su conjunto explican el 43% de la varianza en la escala de autocontrol completa, el 28% de la varianza en la dimensión Control de los impulsos y el 42% de la varianza de la dimensión Autodisciplina, destacándose el rasgo responsabilidad como variable predictora de las puntuaciones en los tres casos.

Published: December 2021

Este trabajo se referirá a la recepción por parte de la doctrina y jurisprudencia chilena en materia penal de la probabilidad lógica derivada del evidence anglosajón. Intentaré justificar que ello ha ocurrido a través de la interpretación del principio de razón suficiente como límite lógico perteneciente a la noción sana crítica y también expondré algunas dificultades detectadas.Esta investigación pretende ser una contribución al diálogo entre las diversas culturas jurídicas del sistema del common law y el civil law. Este trabajo también busca profundizar en una perspectiva histórica de la evolución de los estudios de la prueba penal en los ordenamientos procesales penales iberoamericanos, pues es necesario generar lazos de comunicación entre las perspectivas del evidence anglosajón y el derecho procesal continental con el fin de favorecer la racionalidad y justicia de las decisiones judiciales en materia de hechos.La primera parte de este trabajo se referirá a la probabilidad lógica en el contexto de la new evidence scholarship. La segunda parte se referirá a la prueba de los hechos en la tradición del civil law, desde la Ilustración hasta nuestros días. La tercera parte se referirá a la probabilidad lógica en la doctrina y la jurisprudencia chilena. En la última parte, se discutirá una posible recepción del concepto de probabilidad lógica en materia probatoria penal en Chile.
