Introduction
Aneurysms of the ascending aorta (AA) correspond to a dilatation of the ascending aorta that progressively evolves over several years. The main complication of aneurysms of the ascending aorta is type A aortic dissection, which is associated with very high rates of morbidity and mortality. Prophylactic ascending aorta replacement guidelines are currently based on maximal AA diameter. However, this criterion is imperfect. Stretching tests on the aorta carried out ex-vivo make it possible to determine the elastic properties of healthy and aneurysmal aortic fragments (tension test, resistance before rupture). For several years now, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has provided another means of evaluating the elastic properties of the aorta. This imaging technique has the advantage of being non-invasive and of establishing aortic compliance (local measurement of stiffness) without using contrast material by measuring the variation of the aortic surface area during the cardiac cycle, and pulse wave velocity (overall stiffness of the aorta).

Materials and methods
Prospective single-center study including 100 patients with ascending aortic aneurysm requiring surgery. We will perform preoperative cine-MRI and biomechanical laboratory stretching tests on aortic samples collected during the cardiac procedure. Images will be acquired with a 3T MRI with only four other acquisitions in addition to the conventional protocol. These additional sequences are a Fast Low Angle Shot (FLASH)-type sequence performed during a short breath-hold in the transverse plane at the level of the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery, and phase-contrast sequences that encodes velocity at the same localization, and also in planes perpendicular to the aorta at the levels of the sino-tubular junction and the diaphragm for the descending aorta. For ex-vivo tests, the experiments will be carried out by a biaxial tensile test machine (ElectroForce®). Each specimen will be stretched with 10 times of 10% preconditioning and at a rate of 10 mm/min until rupture. During the experiment, the tissue is treated under a 37°C saline bath. The maximum elastic modulus from each sample will be calculated.

Results
The aim of this study is to obtain local patient-specific elastic modulus distribution of the ascending aorta from biaxial tensile tests and to assess elastic properties of the aorta using MRI, then to evaluate the correlation between biaxial tests and MRI measurements.

Discussion
Our research hypothesis is that there is a correlation between the evaluation of the elastic properties of the aorta from cardiac MRI and from stretching tests performed ex-vivo on aorta samples collected during ascending aorta replacement.
History and scientific background on the economics of abortion

Published: September 2021

Background
Approximately one quarter of all pregnancies globally end in abortion, making it one of the most common gynecological practices worldwide. Despite the high incidence of abortion around the globe, the synthesis of known economic outcomes of abortion care and policies is lacking. Using data from a systematic scoping review, we synthesized the literature on the economics of abortion at the microeconomic, mesoeconomic, and mesoeconomic levels and presented the results in a collection of studies. This article describes the history and scientific background for collection, presents the scoping review framework, and discusses the value of this knowledge base.

Methods and findings
We conducted a scoping review using the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews. Studies reporting on qualitative and/or quantitative data from any world region were considered. For inclusion, studies must have examined one of the following outcomes: costs, impacts, benefits, and/or value of abortion-related care or policies. Our searches yielded 19,653 unique items, of which 365 items were included in our final inventory. Studies most often reported costs (n = 262), followed by impacts (n = 140), benefits (n = 58), and values (n = 40). Approximately one quarter (89/365) of studies contained information on the secondary outcome on stigma. Economic factors can lead to a delay in abortion care-seeking and can restrict health systems from adequately meeting the demand for abortion services. Provision of post-abortion care (PAC) services requires more resources then safe abortion services. Lack of insurance or public funding for abortion services can increase the cost of services and the overall economic impact on individuals both seeking and providing care.

Conclusions
Consistent economic themes emerge from research on abortion, though evidence gaps remain that need to be addressed through more standardized methods and consideration to framing of abortion issues in economics terms. Given the highly charged political nature of abortion around the world, it is imperative that researchers continue to build the evidence base on economic outcomes of abortion services and regulations.
Existência de um Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional em Matéria Ambiental

Published: September 2021

Neste comentário é realizada a análise da decisão monocrática proferida no âmbito da ação direta de inconstitucionalidade por omissão com pedido de medida cautelar nº 60 (ADO nº 60) do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). A importância deste estudo se justifica pelos argumentos fornecidos na decisão como resposta aos requerentes, que postulam o reconhecimento da inconstitucionalidade da conduta da União na condução do Fundo Clima, bem como na adoção de medidas de proteção ambiental pertinentes à mitigação de mudanças climáticas. Isso porque, a despeito da importância do meio ambiente como pressuposto para o desfrute de outros direitos que integram o mínimo existencial, abre-se espaço para que seja discuto, no âmbito do dever estatal de proteção, a necessidade de observância ao direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado de forma autônoma e não apenas para assegurar o gozo de outros direitos fundamentais e humanos. Diante disso, considerando o atual contexto, em que o direito ao meio ambiente saudável é protegido com vistas a garantir a efetivação de direitos essenciais para os seres humanos, torna´-se fundamental compreender de que forma a inovadora teoria recepcionada pela jurisprudência brasileira por meio da ADO nº 60 - o direito ao meio ambiente como direito autônomo, com interesse jurídico em si mesmo- pode contribuir para o cenário de proteção ambiental brasileiro.

Abstract

Objectives
Birth injuries usually occur with two different mechanisms: trauma due to mechanic stress during labor and hypoxic-ischemic injury. Sometimes these two mechanisms can occur at the same time with a complex clinical picture.

Case presentation
The baby girl was born at 372/7 weeks after a prolonged second stage of labor, weighing 3,725 g, and was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with the diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. During follow up she developed multiorgan failure and severe anemia. On the third postnatal day, abdominal bleeding was detected. Laceration in the liver capsule was found and appeared to be the source of bleeding.

Conclusions
Abdominal bleeding secondary to mechanical laceration of the liver is hard to diagnose and may coexist with perinatal asphyxia.
First-Person Plural Subject Pronoun Expression in Mexican Spanish Spoken in Georgia
Authors: Limerick Philip P. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractVariationist research on subject pronoun expression (SPE) in Spanish typically incorporates all grammatical persons/numbers into the same analysis, with important exceptions such as studies focusing exclusively on first-person singular (e.g., Travis, Catherine E. 2005. The yo-yo effect: Priming in subject expression in Colombian Spanish. In Randall Gess & Edward J Rubin (eds.),Selected papers from the 34th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), 329–349. Amsterdam, Salt Lake City: Benjamins 2004; Travis, Catherine E. 2007. Genre effects on subject expression in Spanish: Priming in narrative and conversation.Language Variation and Change19. 101–135; Travis, Catherine E. & Rena Torres Cacoullos. 2012. What do subject pronouns do in discourse? Cognitive, mechanical and constructional factors in variation.Cognitive Linguistics23(4). 711–748), third-person singular (Shin, Naomi Lapidus. 2014. Grammatical complexification in Spanish in New York: 3sg pronoun expression and verbal ambiguity.Language Variation and Change26. 303–330), and third-person plural subjects (Lapidus, Naomi & Ricardo Otheguy. 2005. Overt nonspecific ellos in Spanish in New York.Spanish in Context2(2). 157–174). The current study is the first variationist analysis (to the best of my knowledge) to focus solely on first-person plural SPE. It is well-established thatnosotros/nosotrasexhibits one of the lowest rates of SPE relative to the other persons/numbers; however, factors conditioning its variation are less understood. Conversational corpus data from Mexican Spanish are employed to examine tokens of first-person plural SPE (n=660) in terms of frequency and constraints, incorporating factors such as TMA, switch reference, and verb class in logistic regression analyses. Results suggest thatnosotros, like other subjects, is strongly impacted by switch reference and tense-mood-aspect (TMA). However, the TMA effect is unique in that preterit aspect is shown to favor overtnosotrosrelative to other TMAs, diverging from previous studies. Furthermore, verb class — a factor found to be repeatedly significant in the literature — is inoperative fornosotros. These results suggest thatnosotrosdoes not respond to the same factors as other persons/numbers. Additionally, the findings lend support to researchers regarding the importance of studying individual persons/numbers in subject variation research.
Introduction: the role of the lexicon in actionality
Authors: Crane Thera Marie , Nichols Johanna , Persohn Bastian 
Published: September 2021

AbstractActionality (also referred to by labels such as “lexical aspect” or “aktionsart”) is the semantic dimension that encodes the constituent phases and boundaries of situations. Despite its central role in aspectual interpretation, careful language-specific descriptions and typological surveys of actional systems have been rare thus far. In this introduction, we describe the steps that lead to the compilation of the present special issue. We discuss several theoretical and methodological challenges that both field linguists and typologists face when investigating actional systems in the languages of the world and we point out some of the important insights to be gained from such endeavors. We then proceed to give an overview of the individual and varied contributions that make up this issue.
Impact of partially thermal electrons on the propagation characteristics of extraordinary mode in relativistic regime

Published: September 2021

Abstract
On employing linearized Vlasov–Maxwell equations the solution of relativistic electromagnetic extraordinary mode is investigated for the wave propagating perpendicular to a uniform ambient magnetic field (in the presence of arbitrary magnetic field limit i.e., ω > Ω > k.v) in partially degenerate (i.e., for T
F ≥ T and T ≠ 0) electron plasma under long wavelength limit (ω ≫ k.v). Due to the inclusion of weak quantum degeneracy the relativistic Fermi–Dirac distribution function is expanded under the relativistic limit (

Understanding the Significance of the Hypothalamic Nature of the Subthalamic Nucleus
Authors: Barbier Marie , Risold Pierre-Yves 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an essential component of the basal ganglia and has long been considered to be a part of the ventral thalamus. However, recent neurodevelopmental data indicated that this nucleus is of hypothalamic origin which is now commonly acknowledged. In this work, we aimed to verify whether the inclusion of the STN in the hypothalamus could influence the way we understand and conduct research on the organization of the whole ventral and posterior diencephalon. Developmental and neurochemical data indicate that the STN is part of a larger glutamatergic posterior hypothalamic region that includes the premammillary and mammillary nuclei. The main anatomic characteristic common to this region involves the convergent cortical and pallidal projections that it receives, which is based on the model of the hyperdirect and indirect pathways to the STN. This whole posterior hypothalamic region is then integrated into distinct functional networks that interact with the ventral mesencephalon to adjust behavior depending on external and internal contexts.

Published: September 2021

AbstractPupil dynamics alterations have been found in patients affected by a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions, including autism. Studies in mouse models have used pupillometry for phenotypic assessment and as a proxy for arousal. Both in mice and humans, pupillometry is noninvasive and allows for longitudinal experiments supporting temporal specificity; however, its measure requires dedicated setups. Here, we introduce a convolutional neural network that performs online pupillometry in both mice and humans in a web app format. This solution dramatically simplifies the usage of the tool for the nonspecialist and nontechnical operators. Because a modern web browser is the only software requirement, this choice is of great interest given its easy deployment and setup time reduction. The tested model performances indicate that the tool is sensitive enough to detect both locomotor-induced and stimulus-evoked pupillary changes, and its output is comparable to state-of-the-art commercial devices.

This paper reports a study into different ways of applying a highly effective technology for making yeast-free bread from wheat flour of the highest, first, and second grades by the accelerated method. The dough mechanical loosening technology was used, which makes it possible to reduce the time to prepare the high-quality dough and bake bread. This study has confirmed that the mechanical loosening technique makes it possible to make high-quality yeast-free bread by an accelerated method without fermentation and proving. Such a technique reduces the time of dough preparation by 3 times, improves the rheological properties of the dough, and reduces baking time by 2 times, as well as improves the quality of bread from flour of the highest, first, and second grade. The results showed that the safety indicators of yeast-free bakery products prepared from flour of the highest, first, and second grade meet the norms established by TR TC 021/2011 of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "On Food Safety". In terms of microbiological indicators, the results demonstrated that during storage for 5 days QMAFAnM ranged as follows: in yeast-free bakery products from flour of the highest grade ‒ from 1.2·102 to 1.8·102 CFU/g. In the yeast-free bakery products from flour of the first grade ‒ from 1.5·102 to 2.1·102 CFU/g; in the yeast-free bakery products from flour of the second grade ‒ from 1.9·102 to 3.2·102 CFU/g. In addition, bacteria of the E. coli group were found on all yeast-free bakery products. Thus, applying the highly effective technology of the accelerated dough preparation could significantly improve the quality of bread, reduce the time of baking, and reliably ensure that useful properties are maintained
