Horaz ins Stammbuch geschrieben – Ein neu aufgefundenes Kant-Autograph
Authors: Walter Martin 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Recently (2019/20), a new autograph written by Immanuel Kant in October 1786 was found and identified. It is a quotation from Horace’s Epistles I. 1, 60 dedicated to Johann Friedrich Lange (1760–1826), a preacher and former student of Kant’s at the Albertina University: “Let this be a man’s brazen wall (rule of life), to be conscious of no ill, to turn pale with no guilt.” Kant quoted the passage several times; one time in his MS. Horace was one of Kant’s favorite Latin poets.

Published: March 2021

Abstract

Background
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic inflammatory condition occurring predominantly in children. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed in the presence of inflammation and aneurysms of the coronary arteries. The objectives of our study were to assess which CABG strategy provides better graft patency and early and long-term outcomes.

Methods
A systematic review using Medline, Cochrane, and Scopus databases was performed in February 2020, incorporating a network meta-analysis, performed by random-effect model within a Bayesian framework, and pooled prevalence of adverse outcomes. Hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% credible intervals (CI) were calculated by Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

Results
Among 581 published reports, 32 studies were selected, including 1,191 patients undergoing CABG for KD. Graft patency of internal thoracic arteries (ITAs), saphenous veins (SV), and other arteries (gastroepiploic artery and radial artery) was compared. ITAs demonstrated the best patency rates at long-term follow-up (HR 0.33, 95% CI: 0.17–0.66). Pooled prevalence of early mortality after CABG was 0.28% (95% CI: 0.00–0.73%, I
2 = 0%, tau2 = 0), with 63/1,108 and 56/1,108 patients, undergoing interventional procedures and surgical re-interventions during follow-up, respectively. Pooled prevalence was 3.97% (95% CI: 1.91–6.02%, I
2 = 60%, tau2 = 0.0008) for interventional procedures and 3.47% (95% CI: 2.26–4.68%, I
2 = 5%, tau2 <0.0001) for surgical re-interventions. Patients treated with arterial, venous, and mixed (arterial plus second venous graft) CABG were compared to assess long-term mortality. Mixed CABG (HR 0.03, 95% CI: 0.00–0.30) and arterial CABG (HR 0.13, 95% CI: 0.00–1.78) showed reduced long-term mortality compared with venous CABG.

Conclusions
CABG in KD is a safe procedure. The use of arterial conduits provides better patency rates and lower mortality at long-term follow-up.
More on 1QSamuel and the Theory of Literary Growth. Response to Benjamin Ziemer
Authors: Elgvin Torleif 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
There is no space in the innermost part of the 1QSam scroll to include 2Sam 24. The last three columns (2Sam 20–23) can be materially reconstructed with 46, 42, or 21 lines. With one of the eight literary appendices to 2Samuel missing, other appendices may be absent too. A number of factors point to a reconstruction with 21 lines and containing only three appendices: a) very few scrolls dated to 50–1 BCE have more than 40 lines, medium-sized scrolls are most common; b) a 46-line reconstruction without ch. 24 would destroy the chiastic structure of the appendices; c) a 46-line reconstruction (as preferred by Ziemer) would require the long psalm of ch. 22 to be formatted without any section breaks or vacats; d) Qumran scrolls and literary analysis evince many cases of 2nd and 1st century literary editing of biblical scrolls as well as preservation of earlier variant recensions. Further, Ziemer’s consequent critique of the linear model of literary growth in biblical studies should be welcomed but remains one-sided. Editorial growth into new recensions could develop according to different paradigms.
Full-Scale Testing of Flowable Cementitious Materials for Rapid Pavement Repair

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Flowable technologies that make use of hydraulic cements are relied upon in many ways for infrastructure, operations, and contingency activities. The primary objective of this paper is to report full-scale performance findings from testing of rapid-setting flowable fill (RSFF) as an expedient pavement repair technology in hot and cold climates. The scenarios explored were hot climates where RSFF was used as the surface of the repair and directly trafficked by an aircraft simulator load cart and cold climates where RSFF was used as an expedient backfill underneath a rapid-setting concrete (RSC) cap. Twelve expedient pavement repairs were investigated in this study. The data collected showed that RSFF is capable of being used as an expedient repair surface in hot weather and as a high-quality backfill in cold weather. All repairs withstood 112 passes of an aircraft load cart after approximately 2 hours of cure time, thus demonstrating the viability of RSFF as a temporary surface in hot weather conditions and as a backfill material with an RSC cap in cold weather conditions. Aluminum sulfate was tested as an accelerating admixture for cold weather conditions, but it did not perform well. The most efficient manner of using RSFF in cold weather was to heat the mix water.
Effectiveness of Hydrated Lime Filler on Fracture and Cracking Properties of Polymer and Crumb Rubber–Modified Asphalt Mastics

Published: March 2021

Abstract
This study evaluates fracture and toughness behavior of different types of mastics prepared using polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) and crumb rubber–modified asphalt (CRMA), in combination with basalt (B) and hydrated lime (HL) fillers. The asphalt mastics were prepared for filler to binder (F/B) ratio of 0.6 and 1.0. For F/B = 0.6, 2 combinations of mastic, namely, B = 60 % and HL = 0 % and B = 40 % and HL = 20 %, were prepared using PMA and CRMA asphalt binders. Likewise, for F/B = 1, 2 combinations of mastic, namely, B = 100 % and HL = 0 % and B = 80 % and HL = 20 %, were prepared using PMA and CRMA asphalt binders. Therefore, four different asphaltic mastic were prepared for PMA and CRMA to understand performance of asphalt mastic with and without HL in combination with B fillers. The fracture and toughness behavior of asphalt mastic was investigated using double-edge-notched tension (DENT) and force ductility (FD) test, respectively. The overall test results infer that, in addition to nature of fillers, filler quantity and type of binders have significant impact on the fracture and toughness potential of asphalt mastic at intermediate and sub-intermediate temperature. The DENT test results indicate that the inclusion of HL had an effective contribution in enhancing the fracture resistance of base PMA mastic prepared with low F/B ratio (0.6), whereas the addition of HL filler did not show improvement in the fracture resistance potential of the base CRMA mastic. Similarly, the toughness ratio signifies that the cracking resistance potential of PMA and CRMA mastics can be improved with the addition of HL filler irrespective of F/B ratio.
Reconstructed Nostalgia
Authors: Ballam-Cross Paul 
Published: March 2021

In chillwave, synthwave, vaporwave, and their respective subgenres, a common element is the thread of nostalgia, constant in each. This is the case for both the cover art used for these releases, as well as compositional techniques used in the music itself. Although these genres certainly approach nostalgia in different ways, they each rely on imagery that evokes nostalgic feelings or memories in a form of collective, imaginative self-soothing. The memories evoked, however, tend to rely on unrealistic depictions of reality and center on times and places that have perhaps only existed in the listener’s imagination.
This article argues that the re-interpretation of cultural memory is an important structural feature in chillwave, synthwave, vaporwave, and vaporwave subgenres such as mallsoft and the associated Japanese “city pop” revival. Through a discussion of the visual and musical connections that draw these genres together, the concepts of nostalgia in music (as well as the related concept of “reconstructed nostalgia”) are explored. An examination of listeners’ narrative explorations of these genres posted online suggests that users engage knowingly and willingly with this “reconstructed nostalgia.” Ultimately, this forms a collaborative and collective universe used by listeners as a method of escapism, through both their own imaginations and online comments.

Authors: Bandhakavi Meena , Wanaguru Amy , Ayuk Loveline , Kirk Jeremy M , Barrett Timothy G , Kershaw Melanie , Högler Wolfgang , Shaw Nicholas J 
Published: March 2021

Introduction
Autosomal recessive forms of pseudohypoaldosteronism are caused by genetic defects in the epithelial sodium channel. Little is known about the long-term outcome and medication needs during childhood and adolescence.

Objective
This study reports a single-centre experience of children affected with this ultra-rare condition over a 37-year period.

Methods
We report the clinical presentation, growth, neuro-development, associated conditions, mortality and medication dosing and administration for 12 affected children from eight families.

Results
All children were presented within the first 2 weeks of life with life-threatening, severe hyperkalaemia and hyponatraemia. All parents were consanguineous and of South Asian, Middle Eastern or African ethnic origin. Eight children had homozygous mutations in the SCNN1A and SCNN1G genes, encoding the epithelial sodium channel subunits alpha and gamma, respectively, including one novel mutation. Three children died (25%) and two (16%) had severe neurological impairment post-cardiac arrest secondary to hyperkalaemia. One affected female had a successful pregnancy at the age of 28 years.

Conclusion
Despite high mortality and morbidity in this condition, survival with normal physical and neurological outcome is possible, justifying intensive management to prevent electrolyte imbalance.

Published: March 2021

Objective
Testosterone is a critical determinant of health in both genders. However, the relationship between circulating levels of testosterone and mortality remains undetermined.

Methods
We examined the associations of serum total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in 154 965 men and 93 314 postmenopausal women from UK Biobank. Cox regression models were used to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CIs. Given multiple testing, P < 0.005 was considered statistically significant.

Results
Over a median follow-up of 8.9 (inter-quartile range: 8.3–9.5) years, we documented 5754 deaths in men, including 1243 (21.6%) from CVD and 2987 (51.9%) from cancer. In postmenopausal women, 2435 deaths occurred, including 346 (14.2%) from CVD and 1583 (65.0%) from cancer. TT and FT concentrations were inversely associated with all-cause mortality in men, with the multivariable HR of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.75–0.91) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.73–0.87) for the highest (Q5) vs the lowest quintile (Q1), respectively. In postmenopausal women, TT concentrations showed a positive association with all-cause mortality (HR for Q5 vs Q1 = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.06–1.37). Furthermore, higher TT and FT concentrations were associated with a lower risk of cancer mortality in men (both P for trend = 0.001), whereas TT concentrations were suggestively associated with a higher risk of cancer mortality in postmenopausal women (P for trend = 0.03).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that high levels of circulating testosterone may be beneficial for all-cause and cancer mortality in men but detrimental in postmenopausal women.

Authors: Osman Muhammad , du Preez Karen , Seddon James A. , Claassens Mareli M. , Dunbar Rory , Dlamini Sicelo S. , Welte Alex , Naidoo Pren , Hesseling Anneke C. 
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND:
In South Africa, tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death among those &lt;20 years of age. We describe changes in TB mortality among children and adolescents in South Africa over a 13-year period, identify risk factors for mortality, and estimate excess TB-related mortality.

METHODS:
Retrospective analysis of all patients &lt;20 years of age routinely recorded in the national electronic drug-susceptible TB treatment register (2004–2016). We developed a multivariable Cox regression model for predictors of mortality and used estimates of mortality among the general population to calculate standardized mortality ratios (SMRs).

RESULTS:
Between 2004 and 2016, 729 463 children and adolescents were recorded on TB treatment; 84.0% had treatment outcomes and 2.5% (18 539) died during TB treatment. The case fatality ratio decreased from 3.3% in 2007 to 1.9% in 2016. In the multivariable Cox regression model, ages 0 to 4, 10 to 14, and 15 to 19 years (compared with ages 5 to 9 years) were associated with increased risk of mortality, as was HIV infection, previous TB treatment, and extrapulmonary involvement. The SMR of 15 to 19-year-old female patients was more than double that of male patients the same age (55.3 vs 26.2). Among 10 to 14-year-olds and those who were HIV-positive, SMRs increased over time.

CONCLUSIONS:
Mortality in South African children and adolescents treated for TB is declining but remains considerable, with 2% dying during 2016. Adolescents (10 to 19 years) and those people living with HIV have the highest risk of mortality and the greatest SMRs. Interventions to reduce mortality during TB treatment, specifically targeting those at highest risk, are urgently needed.
New Results for the 1968 Belice, South Italy, Seismic Sequence: Solving the Long-Lasting Ambiguity on Causative Source

Published: March 2021

AbstractWe present the first estimates of moment tensor solutions and probabilistic nonlinear hypocenter locations for the 1968 Belice earthquake sequence, which is the most relevant seismic activity occurred in western Sicily in historical times. This seismic phase, including six earthquakes with magnitude between 5 and 6.4, produced severe damages and fatalities in a sector of the Nubia–Eurasia plate margin, previously considered aseismic. Poorly constrained and often controversial hypocenter locations and focal mechanism solutions available from the literature have led to a long-lasting ambiguity on the possible causative source of the sequence, also having primary effects on the regional seismotectonic modeling and seismic hazard evaluations. The two main fault models proposed in the literature alternatively assigned a primary role to the north-northwest-trending Nubia–Eurasia plate convergence, causing thrust faulting on about east-trending structures or to the differential foreland retreat driving dextral strike-slip movements on about north–south-oriented faults. By focusing on the starting and the most energetic phase of the 1968 sequence, we computed the moment tensor solutions for three of the strongest earthquakes using digitized waveforms and a time-domain waveform inversion technique. Then, we also analyzed, by means of a Bayesian hypocenter location technique, the spatial distribution of the 1968 earthquakes. All the results indicate that the 1968 Belice sequence was characterized by predominant reverse faulting occurring on about east-to-northeast-trending structures, thus solving the dualism between models previously proposed in the literature. Our findings well agree both with the geodynamic framework governed by the Nubia–Eurasia north-northwest-trending convergence and with the geological reconstructions of the regional thrust front in the western Sicily area. The results of moment tensor estimations and nonlinear hypocenter locations furnishing an improved knowledge of the most relevant seismic activity of western Sicily also concur to better constraint the seismotectonic modeling of the region.
Source Spectral Properties of Earthquakes in the Delaware Basin of West Texas
Authors: Trugman Daniel T. , Savvaidis Alexandros 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIn recent years, the Delaware basin of west Texas has seen a sharp rise in earthquake occurrence, driven in large part by increases in unconventional hydrocarbon production. The advent of Texas Seismological Network in 2017 has allowed for the characterization of these events in greater detail. We exploit the recent densification in seismic station coverage to study the spectral properties of earthquakes in this region. We show that the low-frequency moments of S-wave spectra, when corrected for site and distance, can be used to calibrate a consistent moment magnitude scale for small and moderate earthquakes. For a subset of &gt;3000 well-recorded events, we compute earthquake stress drop under the assumption of Brune spectral model. Earthquakes in the Delaware basin show coherent spatial patterns in stress drop across the region. Through a reanalysis of independently collated data from the oil and gas industry, we find that earthquakes that are likely associated with hydraulic-fracturing operations have slightly different spectral characteristics than earthquakes that are likely associated with saltwater disposal. In particular, events associated with hydraulic fracturing show greater variability in the statistical distribution of stress drop and have higher median stress-drop values. Although the differences are subtle, they suggest that there may be important distinctions in the underlying physical mechanisms and resulting hazards of distinct classes of induced events, differences that may be unraveled with more detailed joint analyses of industrial and seismic datasets.
Disease prevalence and shade tree diversity in smallholder cocoa (Theobroma cacao) farms: case of Bundibugyo District, Western Uganda

Published: March 2021

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) growing systems in Uganda consists of shade systems with different tree species. Tree shade systems are the pure stand trees in the cocoa plantation which have been attributed towards reducing on pests and disease incidences, shade provision, boosting fertility, Agro biodiversity, fodder and improving production. The study was aimed at identifying potential shade tree species that can minimize disease threats on cocoa farms. Eighty-two cocoa farmers were reached out of 120 cocoa farmers in Bundibugyo that possessed at least five acres of the plantation in a purposive sampling approach.
Black pod disease was non-significantly associated with presence of shade tree diversities. It was established that incidence of black pod rot disease was non-significantly associated with presence of all shade tree species; association between witch’s broom disease incidence with presence of Maesopsis eminii was highly significant (χ2= 55.41, (p<0.05); Association between witch’s broom and presence of Persea Americana (χ2=9.79), (p<0.05), Eucalyptus globulus (χ2=16.71), (p<0.05), Markhamia obtusifolia (χ2=3.95), (p<0.001), schefflera actinophylla (χ2=4.32), (p<0.001), Mangifera indica (χ2=6.46), (p<0.001) was significant though these trees were planted in small numbers. Association between frosty rot disease incidence with presence of Maesopsis eminii was highly significant (χ2= 25.90), (p<0.05). there was a significant association between frosty with presence of Eucalyptus globulus (χ2=6.76), (p<0.05); Mangifera indica (χ2=4.85), (p<0.001); though these trees were planted in small numbers. There was a highly significant association between swollen shoot virus with presence of Maesopsis eminii (χ2= 31.55), (p<0.05), and Cinnamomum tamala (χ2= 19.22), (p<0.05). Association between die back disease incidence with presence of Maesopsis eminii was highly significant (χ2= 52.73), (p<0.05).
Participación de la mujer en el cooperativismo costarricense (1989-2018)
Authors: Sánchez Boza Roxana 
Published: March 2021

La historia de la participación de la mujer en el Cooperativismo costarricense se puede escribir a partir de finales de la década de los ochenta, época en la que la mujer y su aporte al cooperativismo permaneció invisibilizado. Durante tres décadas un reducido grupo de mujeres, con una visión clara sobre la naturaleza jurídico-social de las cooperativas, así como de sus principios, han dado una lucha por lograr una participación político-económica en igualdad de condiciones y con equidad de género, dentro de la organización cooperativa. Los resultados aún no han sido positivos, pese a las políticas públicas del Estado costarricense en esa ruta y un contexto general favorable del cooperativismo mundial, dado que la Alianza Cooperativa Internacional que promueve el establecimiento de una igualdad y equidad a favor de las mujeres cooperativistas en los países de América.
