Published: August 2021

IntroductionThere has been growing interest in community gardens as an effective and affordable health promotion strategy. However, most available evidence is derived from qualitative studies, whereas quantitative research on this subject is limited.ObjectivesTo synthetize the literature about physical and mental health outcomes associated with community gardening. Two main questions were addressed: a) is there evidence, from quantitative studies, that community gardening is associated to physical and mental health and well-being of non-institutionalized individuals? b) Does community gardening provokes any discomfort in terms of physical health, i.e., bodily pain, to their beneficiaries?MethodsA systematic review of the literature was carried out following PRISMA guidelines by searching relevant electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science). Empirical, quantitative studies published in English with no restrictions concerning the date of publication were considered eligible. The quality of the evidence was appraised using the tool developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies.ResultsOverall, 8 studies were considered eligible, of which seven studies were rated as having good methodological quality (one scored as fair). Community gardeners had significantly better health outcomes than their neighbours not engaged in gardening activities in terms of life satisfaction, happiness, general health, mental health, and social cohesion.ConclusionCommunity gardens are associated to health gains for their users, irrespective of age, being an affordable and efficient way of promoting physical and mental health and well-being. To encourage the design, maintenance, and prospective evaluation of supportive urban environments promoting healthy and, at the same time, sustainable lifestyles, is essential to achieve public health gains and environmental sustainability.

Purpose
Establishing the reliability of a new method to check the mean retinal and choroidal reflectivity and using it to find retinal and choroid changes in amblyopia.

Methods
Design: Retrospective case-control. Population: 28 subjects of which 10 were healthy controls (20 eyes): 8 with refractive errors, 1 with strabismus, and 1 with both. 18 patients with unilateral amblyopia included: 7 anisometropic, 6 isoametropic, 1 strabismic, and 4 combined. Mean participants’ age: 13.77 years ± 10.28. Observation procedures: SD-OCT and ImageJ. Main outcome measure: mean reflectivity of retinal and choroid layers. Amblyopic, fellow, and healthy eyes were compared.

Results
The method of measuring reflectivity is good to excellent reliability for all regions of interest except the fourth. The mean reflectivity of the choriocapillaris and Sattler’s layer in amblyopic eyes were significantly lower than in healthy eyes (p = 0.003 and p = 0.008 respectively). The RNFL reflectivity was lower than that of fellow eyes (p = 0.025). Post-hoc pairwise comparisons showed statistically significant differences between amblyopic and healthy eyes for choriocapillaris (p = 0.018) and Sattler’s (p = 0.035), and between amblyopic and fellow eyes for RNFL (p = 0.039).

Conclusion
A decrease in reflectivity of the choriocapillaris and Sattler’s in amblyopic compared to healthy eyes, and a decrease in reflectivity of the RNFL in the amblyopic compared to fellow eyes, indicate that the pathophysiology is partly peripheral and might be bilateral.
A calling into the wild
Authors: Halsted Whitney-Jade 
Published: August 2021

In this investigation to the author’s own artistic practice, cultural theory and ontology are applied to the notion of ‘wildness’ and ‘safari’ to establish a paradox between what we know and simultaneously will never know about the wild within dominant Western paradigms of thinking. Through her analysis of these contemporary philosophies, the foundation of Halsted’s artwork is explained as a culmination of both performative controlled movements and uncontrolled action. This is achieved through the medium of watercolour that allows for the pigment and representative objects of the non-Western wild to break through oppressive borders and colonial gazes.
With the help of the wind, the scent of prey carries across the savannah. As it reaches the predator’s senses, deep feelings in the form of instincts create sudden and necessary action and the hunt begins. Although instincts are embedded within a predator, it has taken much time to develop the skills needed to ensure a successful hunt and there is still no guarantee for victory. Triumph is determined by constant trial and error, a never-ending journey of learning and the lesson always in motion. But who or what is the predator and who or what is the prey? Perhaps this behaviour is literal and confined to the animal hunt; or perhaps extends to human relations and power over others, whether it be other humans, non-humans and environment; perhaps it is about control and freedom; perhaps it can expand to how I feel about myself as being both the victim and perpetrator; or perhaps it is about all I have mentioned. As a Western assumption, the notion of wildness is acknowledged through ongoing interpretation, as a critical concept that points to the limit of our understanding by reminding us that there is something other. That is to say, knowing wildness suggests that there is an unknowing that is wild.
Augustine on the Existence of the Past and the Future
Authors: Anzalone David 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In the eleventh book of the Confessiones Augustine puts forward several considerations about the nature of time. The received view is that he held that only the present exists, while the past and the future do not exist. This received view has recently been attacked by Paul Helm and Katherin Rogers, who have offered alternative interpretations according to which Augustine held that the present has no privileged ontological status, and that past, present and future all equally exist. The aim of this paper is to defend the received view vis-à-vis these attacks. I argue that the received view fits best Augustine’s view of God’s eternity and relation to time and should therefore be preferred.
Individual Creativity and Career Choices of Pre-teens in the Context of a Math-Art Learning Event

Published: August 2021

Abstract
A sample of 392 students (aged 12-13 years, M± SD: 12. 52% girls) completed a learning module integrating informal hands-on mathematics and arts activity (extending STEM to STEAM). Within a 140 minute workshop period participants worked with commercially available ‘4Dframe’ Math and STEAM learning toolkits to design and create original, personal and individual geometrical structures. Two science pedagogues acted as tutors supervising the process and intervened only when needed. A pre-/post-test design monitored individual creativity, relative autonomy, and career choice preference. Path analysis elaborated the role of creativity (measured with two subscales: act and flow), and it showed that post-act, post-flow as well as relative autonomy are valuable predictors of career choices. Similarly, pre-creativity scores were shown to significantly predict the related post-scores: act and flow. As a consequence, our STEAM module was shown to trigger both the creativity level and the career choice preferences. Conclusions for appropriate educational settings to foster STEAM environments are discussed.
Properties of transmembrane helix TM1 of the DcuS sensor kinase of Escherichia coli, the stator for TM2 piston signaling
Authors: Stopp Marius , Steinmetz Philipp A. , Unden Gottfried 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The sensor kinase DcuS of Escherichia coli perceives extracellular fumarate by a periplasmic PASP sensor domain. Transmembrane (TM) helix TM2, present as TM2-TM2′ homo-dimer, transmits fumarate activation in a piston-slide across the membrane. The second TM helix of DcuS, TM1, is known to lack piston movement. Structural and functional properties of TM1 were analyzed. Oxidative Cys-crosslinking (CL) revealed homo-dimerization of TM1 over the complete membrane, but only the central part showed α-helical +3/+4 spacing of the CL maxima. The GALLEX bacterial two-hybrid system indicates TM1/TM1′ interaction, and the presence of a TM1-TM1′ homo-dimer is suggested. The peripheral TM1 regions presented CL in a spacing atypical for α-helical arrangement. On the periplasmic side the deviation extended over 11 AA residues (V32-S42) between the α-helical part of TM1 and the onset of PASP. In the V32-S42 region, CL efficiency decreased in the presence of fumarate. Therefore, TM1 exists as a homo-dimer with α-helical arrangement in the central membrane region, and non-α-helical arrangement in the connector to PASP. The fumarate induced structural response in the V32-S42 region is suggested to represent a structural adaptation to the shift of TM2 in the TM1-TM1′/TM2-TM2′ four-helical bundle.
Grain refinement mechanism of rapidly solidified nickel alloys
Authors: Wang Hongfu , An Hongen , Yang Shaopei 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The solidification microstructure evolution of Ni-25 at.% Cu alloys under different undercooling degrees were studied by the cladding method and cyclic superheating method. Two grain refinement phenomena were observed in the obtained undercooling. In the low undercooling condition, dendrite remelting is the main reason for grain refinement in the recalescence process, while in the high undercooling condition, the stress accumulated in the recalescence process leads to recrystallization in the later stage of recalescence. Under the condition of high undercooling, the solidification structure is composed of complete equiaxed grains with relatively uniform grain size, which indicates that grain boundary migration occurs during grain growth.

Published: August 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Maternal race, marital status, and social environment impact risk of preterm delivery and size for gestational age. Although some paternal characteristics such as age are associated with pregnancy outcomes, the influence of the paternal presence, race/ethnicity and adverse life events is not well known. The objective of the study was to assess birth outcomes in mothers with a paternal presence compared to those without during the post-partum period. The secondary aim was to determine whether paternal race is associated with birth outcomes.

Methods
This was a cross-sectional study using parental surveys linked with birth certificate data from 2016 to 2018. Adverse birth composite outcomes (ABCO) including small for gestational age (SGA), prematurity or neonatal intensive care unit admission (NICU) were assessed.

Results
A total of 695 parents were analyzed (239 single mothers and 228 mother-father pairs). Compared to mothers with a father present, mothers without a father present exhibited increased odds of ABCO, prematurity and NICU. Non-Hispanic Black fathers had increased odds of ABCO and NICU compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). Hispanic fathers had increased odds of NICU compared to NHW.

Conclusions
Paternal absence in the post-partum period and paternal race were both independently associated with ABCO and NICU. Assessment of paternal presence and paternal race in clinical practice may help identify opportunities for additional support necessary to optimize birth outcomes.
Troubled Water in the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey Challenges Greece and Cyprus Regarding Energy Resources
Authors: Axt Heinz-Jürgen 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The conflict between Turkey on the one hand and Greece and Cyprus on the other was exacerbated when Turkey and Libya reached an agreement on the delimitation of maritime zones to explore and exploit energy resources in late 2019. The countries were on the brink of military confrontation. This was the latest climax of a longer period of conflict and mistrust, during which negative perceptions became more entrenched on all sides. Energy is globally high in demand but exploiting resources in the Mediterranean Sea at competitive prices is difficult. The international community has developed an ambitious Law of the Sea, but its interpretation is controversial. Compromises are needed to de-escalate. What might serve as a ‘bridge over troubled waters’ in the Eastern Mediterranean? The author comments on the available options.
Qualifizierung von Gleichstrom-Elektrizitätszählern für Schnellladestationen
Authors: Gräf Kevin , Fischerauer Gerhard 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
In den vergangenen Jahren entwickelte sich der Markt für Elektro-(E-)Mobilität in Deutschland kontinuierlich weiter und damit auch die zugehörige Ladeinfrastruktur. Während zunächst an Wechselstrom-(AC-)Ladestationen geladen wurde, wird nun vermehrt auf Gleichstrom (DC) gesetzt, aufgrund einer deutlich kürzeren Ladezeit. Da es sich bei einer Ladestation um eine Versorgungseinrichtung handelt, die Energie an ein nichtstationäres elektrisches Betriebsmittel abgibt, liegt ein Rechtsgeschäft vor. Dieses wird in Deutschland durch die Mess- und Eichverordnung sowie das Mess- und Eichgesetz geregelt. Eine europaweite Richtlinie gibt es für DC-Elektrizitätszähler in Schnellladestationen hingegen noch nicht. Stattdessen tolerierten die Behörden bis zum 31.3.2019 eine nicht eichrechtskonforme Übergangslösung, bei der die auf der Gleichstromseite bezogene elektrische Energie entweder über die Zeit abgerechnet oder aus der auf der Wechselstromseite bezogenen Energie abzüglich einer Pauschale geschätzt wurde (wenn die bezogene Energie nicht aus Gründen der Einfachheit verschenkt wurde). Seit Ablauf der genannten Frist besteht die Empfehlung, die Schnellladestationen mit eichrechtskonformer DC-Messtechnik nachzurüsten, wofür aber keine einheitliche Lösung existiert. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der DC-Elektrizitätszählertechnik in Zusammenhang mit Schnellladestationen. Daraus wird der notwendige Entwicklungsbedarf bei der Zählerqualifizierung abgeleitet. Schließlich stellen wir die Ergebnisse erster Schritte zur Realisierung eines Prüfsystems vor.
Schreibflüssigkeit im Medienvergleich: Handschrift – Tastaturschreiben – Diktieren mit Spracherkennung
Authors: Schüler Lisa 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Fluency is considered an essential prerequisite for successful text production. Writing fluency means mastering the basic processes of writing so that cognitive resources are freed up to concentrate on content planning or revision when writing texts. Although the importance of these basic processes is well known, there has been little research on this in a German language context. What is known, however, is that digital technologies can support written production. Compared to handwriting, typing is less demanding in terms of motor skills, for example. Dictation in conjunction with speech recognition in turn supports text production not only in the area of motor execution, but also in the area of spelling. In order to capture the characteristics and currently possible potential of dictation with speech recognition, this study investigated this input mode and contrasted it with handwriting and typing in a writing fluency test (N = 46, 8th grade). The results show that the participants produce longer and more correct texts with the help of dictation with speech recognition than when handwriting or typing. However, there is also evidence that this new form of text production has its own challenges.

The lunula pendants from the cemetery of Frontovoe 3 from the Late Roman Period in the South-Western Crimea
Authors: Mastykova Anna , Sviridov Alexey 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe flat cemetery of Frontovoe 3 was discovered in 2018 by a team of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Nakhimovskii district of modern Sevastopol, in the south-western area of the Crimean Peninsula. The site comprising 328 graves was excavated completely. The cemetery appeared ca. late first century AD and ceased to exist in the late fourth or early fifth century AD. The cemetery showed expressive spatial structure and contained eloquent assemblages with abundant grave goods allowing us to determine its chronological zones. This paper addresses the finds of silver crescent-moon-shaped pendants from graves 13 and 94. Similar ornaments occurred in burial assemblages in the Crimea and the northern Dagestan, Kalmykia, Lower Don area, and also in Sarmatian graves in the Great Hungarian Plain. The lunula pendants in question form a chronological reference point for the Pontic-Danubian antiquities in the Late Roman Period.
A 6th–7th century solitary burial of a warrior with his horse at Tiszagyenda
Authors: Kocsis László , Molnár Erzsébet 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe site of Tiszagyenda-Búszerző dűlő became known during the archaeological and field surveys prior to the construction of the Tiszaroff Dam. The site covered the northern part of a large contiguous Migration Period settlement, the southern extents of which were discovered within the same project.The settlement occupying both banks of the Tisza River's backwater had been inhabited for centuries. The first settlers in the Bronze Age (leaving behind three burials) were followed by the Sarmatians (seven burials), Gepids (nineteen burials), Avars (seven burials) and finally tribes of Hungarian conquerors (81 burials). Besides of the linear graveyards of common people, solitary, richly-furnished graves of the Gepid and the Avar Periods were also found.The solitary grave of an armed man was unearthed on the west bank of the Tisza's backwater. His horse and his dog, cut in half and thrown over the horse, were buried a couple steps away in a separate grave. Grave No. 1660 is of especially outstanding archaeological value. Dated by the solidus of Byzantian Emperor Maurikios Tiberius (582–602), the grave held rich finds decorated with Early Christian symbols. The mounts of the swordbelt and his belt-set refer to Lombard and Merovingian connections. The Gepid-Germanic warrior of Gyenda was buried in the early Avar period after the collapse of the Gepid Kingdom in 567–568, in the first decade of the 7thcentury.

Structure and Formation of the Anguttara Nikaya and the Ekottarika Agama
Authors: Kuan Tse-fu , Bucknell Roderick S. 
Published: August 2021

In both the Anguttara Nikaya in Pali and the Ekottarika Agamain Chinese translation, the suttas are grouped into eleven nipatas (“books”), from the Ekaka-nipata/Eka-nipata (Book of Ones) to the Ekadasaka-nipata (Book of Elevens) – though in the Ekottarika Agama the nipatas are not labelled as such. This grouping into nipatas is based on the number of doctrinal items dealt with in the component suttas. In the Ones and Twos, it is often the case that a single original sutta has been subdivided so that its component sections become a series of similarly structured derivative suttas superficially appropriate for inclusion in the Ones or Twos. Moreover, material for this process of subdividing has sometimes been provided by multiplying doctrinal sets with formulaic statements. In most of the remaining nipatas the phenomena noted in the Ones and Twos are also present, but on a much smaller scale. In view of their Chinese counterparts in the Samyukta Agama, some groups of suttas in the Anguttara Nikaya with samyutta-like nature were probably moved from the Samyutta Nikaya to the Anguttara Nikaya within the Pali tradition. Evidence of a comparable movement into the Ekottarika Agama is also available. The artificial suttas created by subdivision and the original suttas shared by the Ekottarika Agama and the Anguttara Nikaya largely retained their original places at the beginning of each nipata, while the genuine suttas, probably earlier located in the Samyukta Agama and Madhyama Agama, were added progressively at the end of the growing nipata.
Implementation of blended education at the faculty of philology

Published: August 2021

This study emphasizes the need for innovation in pedagogical theory and practice. It highlights the theoretical and methodological foundations of the organization of blended learning in English teaching. The authors confirm a detailed theoretical basis, offer a model of blended learning in foreign language lessons for FLS. A blended approach to learning is one of the most relevant educational technologies today, as it allows you to take advantage of the flexibility and convenience of distance learning and the benefits of traditional forms of learning. As a result of theoretical analysis and experience of university teachers in a blended form of education, aspects that have remained outside of research are revealed. This includes the methodological potential of the organization of independent cognitive activity of FLS. The realization of this idea is impossible without the development and implementation of appropriate learning technologies.
Three main components of the blended learning model that are used in the modern educational environment are identified:
– face-to-face training (face-to-face) is a traditional format of classroom teacher-student;
– self-study learning – involves independent work of students: search for materials using a resource map, online search, etc .;
– online learning (online collaborative learning) – the work of students and teachers online, for example, through Internet conferences, Skype or wiki, etc.
