Authors: Papastylianou Antonia (Dona) 
Published: June 2021

Τhis study aimed to examine the evolution of the therapeutic relationship in systemic therapy through the theoretical developments of systemic thinking over the last few decades. In the first part, a historical overview of the de-personalized therapeutic relationship according to First Order Cybernetics perspective (from ‘50s to ‘70s) is presented, that proceeds to the therapeutic relationship with emotional disclosure in the 80s (Second Order Cybernetics) and the Constructivist position that allowed an engagement in an ongoing relational process in therapy. Further, it traces the modifications of the therapeutic relationship through the post-modern developments; Social Constructionism, Reflexivity and Narrative therapy that allow therapist’s essential emotional involvement during co-construction of the meaning in psychotherapy, presents in brief the "revolutionary" view of the theorist of the Open Dialogue (Seikkula, 2011), the Attachment Theory meta-model and the importance of secure attachment in therapeutic relationship. Throughout this review the issue of power imbalance in the therapeutic relationship is discussed, as this underlies the ideological debate of client’s resistance towards the therapist’s positions. In the second part, methodological approaches and psychometric tools regarding research for the documentation of the importance of the therapeutic relationship in systemic therapy are reviewed and research findings are presented concerning the prevailing factors in the therapeutic relationship from the client’s point of view. Finally, issues for further training and enhanced competence of the therapist in order to response effectively to current social-cultural needs are highlighted.

Published: June 2021

Background: We assessed the ethics review of proposals selected for funding under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) and the European Research Council (ERC) in Horizon 2020, EU’s framework programme for research and innovation, 2014-2020. Methods: We analysed anonymized datasets for 3,054 MSCA individual fellowships (IF), 417 MSCA Innovative Training Networks (ITN), and 1,465 ERC main-listed proposals with ethics conditional clearance, over four years (2016 to 2019). The datasets included the information on ethics issues identified by applicants in their proposal and ethics issues and requirements identified by ethics experts during the ethics review. Results: 42% of proposals received ethical clearance. For proposals with conditional ethics clearance (n=3546), most of the identified ethics issues by both applicants and ethics experts were in the ethics categories related to humans; protection of personal data; environment, health and safety; and non-EU countries. Ethics experts identified twice as many ethics issues compared to applicants across funding schemes, years, and from high- and low-research performing countries. ERC grants had the highest number of ethics requirements per proposal (median (Md)=8, interquartile range (IQR=4-14), compared to ITN (Md=6, IQR=3-13) and IF grants (Md=3, IQR=2-6). The majority of requirements had to be fulfilled after grant agreement: 99.4% for IF, 99.5% for ITN, and 26.0% for ERC. For 9% of the proposals, the requirements included the appointment of an independent ethics advisor and 1% of the proposals had to appoint an ethics advisory board. Conclusions: Many applicants for highly competitive H2020 funding schemes lack awareness of ethics issues raised by their proposed research. There is a need for better training of researchers at all career stages about ethics issues in research, more support to researchers from research organizations to follow the funding agencies requirements, as well as further development and harmonization of the ethics appraisal process during grant assessment.

Published: June 2021

Background:Patients with tuberculosis (TB) symptoms in low-resource settings face convoluted diagnostic and treatment linkage pathways, incurring substantial health-seeking costs. In the context of a randomised trial looking at the impact of novel diagnostics such as computer-aided chest x-ray diagnosis (CAD4TB), we aimed to investigate the costs incurred by patients seeking TB diagnosis and whether optimised diagnostic interventions could result in a reduction in the cost faced by households.Methods:PROSPECT was a three-arm randomised trial conducted in a public primary health clinic in Blantyre, Malawi during 2018-2019 (trial arms: standard of care [SOC]; HIV testing [HIV]; HIV testing and CAD4TB [HIV/TB]). The direct and indirect costs incurred by 219 PROSPECT participants over the 56-day follow-up period were collected. Costs were deemed catastrophic if they exceeded 20% of annual household income. We compared mean costs and used generalised linear regression models to examine whether the interventions could result in a reduction in total costs.Results:The mean total cost incurred by all 219 participants was US$12.11 (standard error (SE): 1.86). The indirect and direct cost was US$8.47 (SE: 1.66) and US$3.64 (SE: 0.38), respectively. The mean total cost composed of 5.6% of the average annual household income. In total, 5% (9/180) of the participants with complete income data incurred catastrophic costs. Compared to SOC, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean total cost faced by those in the HIV (ratio: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.51, 1.19) and HIV/TB arms (ratio: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.53, 1.37).Conclusions:Despite the absence of user fees, patients seeking healthcare with TB symptoms incurred catastrophic costs. The optimised TB diagnostic interventions that were investigated in the PROSPECT study did not significantly reduce costs. TB diagnosis interventions should be implemented alongside social protection policies whilst ensuring healthcare facilities are accessible by the poor.

A single-shot fourth-order autocorrelator based on cross-polarized wave generation (XPW) is proposed for the temporal contrast measurement, where the XPW process has the advantages of higher energy conversion efficiency, more compact setup, and less sensitivity to misalignment in comparison to the self-diffraction process. The measurement dynamic of

is obtained with only 6 mJ input laser pulse, where the input beam for XPW is focused by a cylindrical lens and XPW signal with the energy of 400 µJ and time duration of 27.2 fs is obtained. Furthermore, beta-barium borate crystal with the thickness of 6 mm and cutting angle of 56° is used for the sum-frequency generation process to benefit the correlation efficiency. The compact setup could help explore the temporal contrast property of the high-power laser pulse.

A high-power continuous-wave (CW) ultraviolet (UV) laser at 378 nm from an intracavity frequency-doubled Alexandrite laser has been demonstrated with 638 nm fiber-coupled laser diodes as the pump source. A maximum output power of 2.55 W was obtained, which is the highest power for CW frequency-doubled Alexandrite lasers, to the best of our knowledge, corresponding to the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 7.9% from 638 nm pump laser to 378 nm UV laser.

Published: June 2021

Optical vortex beams (VBs) possessing helical phase-front have attracted considerable attention in multiplexing communication for their orthogonal orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. However, the mode-crosstalk and signal jitter caused by turbulence fluctuation are two main challenges in OAM multiplexing communication. Here, we introduce an intra-symbol frequency-domain averaging technology (ISFA) for turbulence mitigation. By equalizing the distorted multiplexing signals, ISFA mitigates the amplitude and phase jitter of received signals without adding system complexity and information redundancy. The experimental results show that VBs are successfully demultiplexed, and the transmission rate reaches 48 Gbit/s. After ISFA, the bit-error-rate of QPSK-OFDM signals is reduced from 1.10 × 10−3 to 6.31 × 10−4, and the error-vector-magnitude (EVM) is reduced from 31.69% to 26.29% under the turbulence strength of

and equivalent transmission distance of 200 m. By combining ISFA with MIMO diversity gain, the EVM can be further reduced from 46.70% to 26.70%. These indicate that ISFA is available for turbulence mitigation and compatible with MIMO technology, which may have perspective potential in improving the performance of OAM multiplexing communication.
Real-time ultrasound sensing with a mode-optimized photonic crystal slab
Authors: Zhu Eric Y. , Charles-Herrera Maria , Rewcastle Cory , Gad Raanan , Qian Li , Levi Ofer 
Published: June 2021

Integrated photonic sensors can provide large scale, flexible detection schemes. Photonic crystal slabs (PCSs) offer a miniaturized platform for wideband, sensitive ultrasound detection by exploiting the photoelastic effect in water. However, poor modal overlap with the sensing medium and non-negligible absorption loss of the aqueous medium have previously limited PCS sensor performance. In this study, we detail the development and optimization of a PCS-based acoustic sensor by adding to it a low-loss high-index polymer cladding layer. Exploiting a mode-optimized TM-like optical resonance present in a PCS, with high bulk index sensitivity (>600nm/RIU) and quality factor Q (>8000), we demonstrate real-time ultrasound sensing at a noise equivalent pressure of 170 Pa (1.9Pa/Hz). The PCS sensor is backside-coupled to an optical fiber, which, along with its intensity-based ultrasound-sensing architecture, will allow us to scale up easily to a 2D array. This work paves the way to a sensitive compact ultrasound detector for photoacoustic-based diagnostics and monitoring of tissue.
Sperm parameters and mitochondrial DNA sequence variants among patients at a fertility clinic in Ghana
Authors: Dzudzor Bartholomew , Bimah Bismarck , Amarh Vincent , Ocloo Augustine 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
The present study sought to investigate the common abnormalities and mtDNA mutations in the sperm of Ghanaian men attending the fertility Clinic at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH). The study therefore provides a baseline data mtDNA mutations in a cross-section of Ghanaian men on referral to the fertility clinic at the KBTH.

Materials and methods
The semen of 55 men attending the fertility clinic were collected from the Urology and the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments of the KBTH. Demographic and clinical data were also collected using questionnaires. Semen analyses were performed and were followed by amplification and purification of mtDNA from total DNA extracted from the semen. Sequencing of the mtDNA amplicons was performed using the next generation sequencer (Illumina-MiSeq).

Results
Asthenozoospermia, oligospermia and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia were observed in 1.79%, 5.36% and 28.57%, respectively, of the study participants. There was no association between drinking and/or smoking and history of gonorrhea infection on sperm status/morphology. A total of 785 point mutations were detected in the non-coding control regions, rRNA genes, tRNA genes and the coding regions of the mtDNA samples from the participants. Amongst these mutations, 16 transition mutations were predominantly detected in the mtDNA samples. Missense mutations that were present in only specific sperm abnormalities were identified and they may contribute to infertility in the study population.

Conclusion
The present study has identified various abnormal sperm phenotypes that are prevalent in the study population and provided a baseline data on mtDNA mutations in the spermatozoa of the patients. A wide range of sperm abnormalities were detected in the study population with no association with life style or history of gonorrhea infection. The mtDNA point mutations detected in the selected genes that were analysed were mostly transition mutations. These transition mutations might be critical for the development of abnormal sperm phenotypes underlying male infertility in the Ghanaian population.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT
A biloma is a collection of bile located outside the bile duct which occurs as a result of iatrogenic and traumatic injuries. Spontaneous biloma is rare and is associated with choledocholithiasis. Diagnosis is performed using an ultrasound, a computed tomography scan, and a nuclear magnetic resonance scan, and is confirmed by drainage and subsequent biochemical analysis of the fluid sample. The first treatment option is percutaneous drainage, and if not successful, endoscopic biliary drainage should be performed. We report a case of a 46-year-old patient with a spontaneous biloma associated with choledocholithiasis.

Abstract
Dos'Santos, T, Thomas, C, Comfort, P, and Jones, PA. Biomechanical effects of a 6-week change-of-direction technique modification intervention on anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2133–2144, 2021—The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical effects of a 6-week change-of-direction (COD) technique modification intervention on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk (i.e., multiplanar knee joint loads) during 45° (CUT45) and 90° (CUT90) side-step cutting. A nonrandomized, controlled 6-week intervention study was administrated. Fifteen male multidirectional sport athletes formed the intervention group (IG) who participated in two 30-minute COD technique modification sessions per week, whereas 12 male multidirectional sport athletes formed the control group and continued their normal training. Subjects performed 6 trials of the CUT45 and CUT90 task whereby pre-to-post intervention changes in lower-limb and trunk kinetics and kinematics were evaluated using three-dimensional motion and ground reaction force analysis. Two-way mixed analyses of variance revealed no significant interaction effects of group for CUT45 and CUT90 multiplanar knee joint loads (p ≥ 0.116, η2 ≤ 0.096); however, considerable individual variation was observed (positive (n = 5–8) and negative responders (n = 7–8)). Based on IG group means, COD technique modification resulted in no meaningful reductions in multiplanar knee joint loads. However, individually, considerable variation was observed, with “higher-risk” subjects generally responding positively, and subjects initially considered “low-risk” tending to increase their multiplanar knee joint loads, albeit to magnitudes not considered hazardous or “high-risk.” Change-of-direction technique modification training is a simple, effective training method, requiring minimal equipment that can reduce knee joint loads and potential ACL injury risk in “higher-risk” subjects without compromising performance.
COMPLEX ASSOCIATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS MAY EXPLAIN BLANCHARD'S CRICKET FROG, ACRIS BLANCHARDI, DECLINES AND DRIVE POPULATION RECOVERY
Authors: McCallum Malcolm , Trauth Stanley 
Published: June 2021

Blanchard’s Cricket Frog, Acris blanchardi, is a small hylid frog that was once among the most common amphibians in any part of its range. Today, it remains abundant in much of the southern portion of its range, but is now disappearing elsewhere. Our analysis of habitat characters observed across several states revealed interesting relationships of these factors with the abundance or presence of Blanchard’s Cricket Frog. Further, we later established two ½ acre ponds based on these relationships that led to immediate colonization of the ponds by cricket frogs followed by explosive production of juveniles less than a year later. Our findings suggest that habitat management for this species should specifically manage the shoreline grade and especially the aquatic floating vegetation to maximize population growth and sustenance.

A Methodology for the Development of 1D Reference VS Profiles Compatible with Ground-Motion Prediction Equations: Application to NGA-West2 GMPEs
Authors: Al Atik Linda , Abrahamson Norman 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACTSite response in ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) is primarily characterized as a function of the time-averaged shear-wave velocity over the top 30 m of the site profile (VS30). Although the use of VS30 as a main site-response predictor parameter is practical, GMPE site adjustments to different target regions or target site conditions require characterization of the GMPE’s rock-site response in terms of host VS profile and host kappa. Regional VS profiles and kappa values have been traditionally used to characterize GMPEs host site conditions. These regional site properties may not reflect the average site response in GMPEs. We present a methodology, based on the quarter-wavelength principles, that allows the derivation of GMPE-compatible host 1D VS profiles and kappa values. This methodology is applied to the Next Generation Attenuation-West2 (NGA-West2) GMPEs to derive GMPE-specific host VS profiles and kappa for western United States (WUS) site conditions with VS30 of 360, 490, 620, 760, and 1100 m/s. This application uses, for input, the GMPEs’ site response in Fourier amplitude spectra domain relative to a reference VS30 of 1000 m/s and requires an assigned VS profile for the reference site condition. The impact of the choice of reference VS profile on the results is not large. Comparisons of the derived GMPE-specific VS profiles for VS30 of 760 m/s show differences in the host VS profiles among the NGA-West2 GMPEs for the same site condition in WUS. Differences are also observed when comparing the derived GMPE-compatible VS profiles with the commonly used profiles for WUS for VS30 of 760 m/s. These differences highlight the importance of using GMPE-compatible VS profiles and kappa in GMPE adjustments and in site-response analyses. Limitations of this approach for soft site conditions are discussed.
Charles Barbier: A hidden story
Authors: Campsie Philippa 
Published: June 2021

Charles Barbier (1767–1841), who invented raised-point writing and the tools for creating it, is remembered today only as a precursor of Louis Braille. Stories of his life and work are mainly variations on two accounts, one by Alexandre-René Pignier published in 1859 and one by Pierre Henri in 1952. The former misrepresented the relationship between Braille and Barbier and the latter hypothesized how Barbier might have developed his ideas and introduced them to Institution Royale des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris. These two accounts have distorted modern ideas about the invention of point writing and the role played by Braille. The author's study of Barbier's correspondence and publications shows that (1) the method that inspired Louis Braille was never intended for the military but was specifically designed for blind people; (2) Barbier did not demonstrate it at the Institution Royale des Jeunes Aveugles; (3) it was not used at the school in a phonetic version; and (4) Barbier and Braille met only after Braille had published his own system. These findings, drawn from primary documents, make it possible to draw a more accurate picture of the original inventor of the method and tools of point writing for people with visual impairments and thereby a more accurate picture of Braille's own achievements.
Retoryczna perspektywa badawcza reportażu telewizyjnego – uwagi teoretyczne
Authors: Fiołek-Lubczyńska Bogumiła 
Published: June 2021

W rozdziale prezentuje się możliwość zastosowania retorycznej perspektywy badawczej do analizy audiowizualnych tekstów kultury o charakterze dokumentalnym. Należą do nich reportaże, które powstają współcześnie na potrzeby telewizji, a realizowane są tak przez dziennikarzy, jak i reżyserów filmowych. Zastosowanie retoryki jako metody badań tych reportaży wyznacza ogólny kierunek badań nad tekstem audiowizualnym i wykazuje powinowactwo z retorycznością stosowaną w literaturoznawstwie. Badanie retoryczności reportażu telewizyjnego rozumiane jest jako badanie sposobu wykorzystania reguł neoklasycznej retoryki do tworzenia skutecznej wypowiedzi. Dotyczy ono badania kompozycji tekstu audiowizualnego, sposobu argumentacji, perswazyjności oraz „przesłania autorskiego”. Analiza retoryczna pozwala więc sprawdzić to czy reportaż został skonstruowany prawidłowo, a także, czy konstrukcja posiada cechy formalnie atrakcyjne. Retoryka bada relacje pomiędzy tym, co warsztatowe a artystyczne w przekazie medialnym.
