Augmentation mammaplasty by superolateral thoracic flap: a case report
Authors: Lupon Elise , Chaput Benoit , Meresse Thomas 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Background
The lateral chest wall is intimately associated with the esthetics of the breast. Patients with massive weight loss often have excess skin and fat in the lateral thoracic region causing functional, esthetic, and psychological discomfort. In addition, the breasts exhibit extreme ptosis after weight loss due to a reduction in volume and projection that is exacerbated by qualitative changes in the skin, with loss of its natural elasticity. This article describes a reliable new technique for simultaneous autologous breast augmentation and lateral thoracic dermolipectomy to provide autologous tissue for breast augmentation and simultaneous rejuvenation of the chest wall.

Case presentation
A 30-year-old Caucasian woman who had lost 58 kg after bariatric surgery had major skin excess sequelae combined with major breast ptosis. She wanted to correct her brachial and lateral thoracic skin and fat excess, as well as rejuvenate her breasts. The lateral thoracic panicle present was harvested and transposed in the retroglandular plane to perform autologous breast augmentation with lateral thoracic dermolipectomy.

Results
The patient was totally healed and complication-free at day 15. Both esthetic results and patient satisfaction were good at 6 months post-surgery.

Conclusions
Superolateral thoracic flap augmentation mammaplasty during thoracic dermolipectomy is a simple and safe procedure for selected patients. Durable and natural autologous breast augmentation may be achieved in a single step without the need for a breast implant, while rejuvenating the thoracic region.

Authors: Hovland Olav Johannes , Hole Ane Falnes , Chiduo Mercy Grace , Johannessen Berit 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Background
Health campaigns are an important aspect of preventive health work. They can aim to improve health literacy in rural areas where residents lack access to health information and knowledge, and to improve both local and global health through cross-cultural collaboration. In Tanga District, Tanzania, exchange students and local youths participate together with Tanga International Competence Centre (TICC) to plan and accomplish health campaigns in local communities. The aim of this study was to explore the participants’ experiences with the cross-cultural collaboration in the planning and delivery of TICC’s health campaigns.

Methods
This study used a focused ethnographic approach. Five weeks of fieldwork included four observations of health campaigns and nine interviews: three individual interviews with employees at TICC (all Tanzanians), two group interviews with nine Norwegian nursing students, two group interviews with five local youths enrolled in TICC’s Youth Program, one interview with a local village leader, and one interview with a local primary school teacher. The interview material was analyzed using systematic text condensation.

Results
All participants experienced the cross-cultural collaboration as successful. Having enough time, adapting to local conditions, and understanding the needs of the target groups were perceived as essential to the campaigns’ success. Music and role-play, which are dominant within Tanzanian culture but not common among the Norwegian students, created excitement and motivation among the audiences. The interviewees identified changes in people’s health behavior in the aftermath of the campaigns.

Conclusion
All participants in this study identified positive outcomes from the cross-cultural collaboration within TICC’s health campaigns. The health campaigns were considered beneficial because of the poor access to health information among residents in the local communities.
Seroprevalence and characterisation of herpes simplex virus from human immunodeficiency virus in samples collected from two provinces in South Africa: a retrospective study
Authors: Obisesan Oluwafemi Samuel , Sithebe Nomathamsanqa Patricia , Mufhandu Hazel Tumelo 
Published: November 2021

Background: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a widely distributed human pathogen that is known for its ulcerative lesions at the infection site. HSV can cause persistent infection in the host that is often followed by a period of latency within the neurons. Considering the high rate of HIV infection in South Africa, it is important to assess the seroprevalence of HSV with a focus to determine the epidemiological association between HSV-DNA and HIV-1 in the population. Methods: A total of 44 sera samples were screened for HSV and HIV-1 using the highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ELISA positive samples were characterized using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to confirm the positivity of both viruses and to further differentiate HSV into HSV-1 and -2. Thereafter, the samples were analysed for relatedness using phylogenetic analysis. Results: Of the 44 samples, 36 (81.8%) were positive for HIV-1, while 35 (79.5%) were positive for HSV when screened with ELISA kits. The PCR results, with the use of type specific primers, showed that 4/35 (11.4%) samples were specific for HSV-1 while 30/35 (85.7%) were specific for HSV-2. Statistical analysis performed using the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test showed that there is a significant relationship between HSV-2 and HIV-1 transmission. Conclusions: There is a significant positive association between HSV-2 and HIV-1 in the study population. Our study shows that some of the HSV-2 isolates are not related to the clinical isolate SD90e from South Africa, suggesting diversity in HSV-2 viral transmission.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUNDUnder Medicare’s Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) program, hospitals have maintained quality and achieved savings for medical conditions. However, safety net hospitals may perform differently owing to financial constraints and organizational challenges.OBJECTIVETo evaluate whether hospital safety net status affected the association between bundled payment participation and medical episode outcomes.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis observational difference‐in‐differences analysis was conducted in safety net and non–safety net hospitals participating in BPCI for medical episodes (BPCI hospitals) using data from 2011‐2016 Medicare fee‐for‐service beneficiaries hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.EXPOSURE(S)Hospital BPCI participation and safety net status.MAIN OUTCOME(S) AND MEASURE(S)The primary outcome was postdischarge spending. Secondary outcomes included quality and post–acute care utilization measures.RESULTSOur sample consisted of 803 safety net and 2263 non–safety net hospitals. Safety net hospitals were larger and located in areas with more low‐income individuals than non–safety net hospitals. Among BPCI hospitals, safety net status was not associated with differential postdischarge spending (adjusted difference‐in‐differences [aDID], $40; 95% CI, –$254 to $335; P = .79) or quality (mortality, readmissions). However, BPCI safety net hospitals had differentially greater discharge to institutional post–acute care (aDID, 1.06 percentage points; 95% CI, 0.37‐1.76; P = .003) and lower discharge home with home health (aDID, –1.15 percentage points; 95% CI, –1.73 to –0.58; P < .001) than BPCI non–safety net hospitals.CONCLUSIONSUnder medical condition bundles, safety net hospitals perform differently from other hospitals in terms of post–acute care utilization, but not spending. Policymakers could support safety net hospitals and consider safety net status when evaluating bundled payment programs.

Friedrich Lindenbrog’s Old English Glossaries Rediscovered
Authors: Rudolf Winfried , Pelle Stephen 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article presents the Old English lexicographical materials compiled by the humanist scholar Friedrich Lindenbrog (1573–1648), some of which were considered lost after World War II, but have been restored to the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg during the 1980 s and 1990 s. It traces the origins and provenances of the Old English glossaries contained in Hamburg, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Codd. germ. 22 and philol. 263, and discusses a selection of notable glosses and spellings, some of which are uniquely preserved in these manuscripts. Lindenbrog’s lexicographical collections were considered useful in the eyes of other seventeenth- and eighteenth-century scholars from Germany, whose materials are referenced here as well.
Shimao culture: naming, distribution, and chronology
Authors: Sun Zhouyong , Shao Jing , Di Nan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
By synthesizing previous studies and the most updated archaeological data by typical stratigraphic contexts and assemblages, Hetao region cultural remains represented by li-tripods with double-handles should be considered part of the Shimao culture. With its core distribution area spanning from northern Shaanxi to central-northern Shanxi to central-southern Inner Mongolia, the development of Shimao culture can be divided into three phases: early, middle, and late. The absolute dating of the Shimao culture ranges from approximately 2300 BCE to 1800 BCE. The Shimao culture was therefore a major late Longshan archaeological culture in northern China that stands apart from its peers in the Central Plains.
A comparative study of Shimao and Taosi
Authors: Shao Jing 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Shimao and Taosi are the two most important North China mega-sites dating from the late Longshan through early Xia. Both were possibly early political centers. Based on a comprehensive analysis of updated archaeological discoveries and the results of interdisciplinary research, the current study is a preliminary discussion of interactions between Shimao and Taosi. We argue that the inter-site dynamic varied over time. More importantly, Shimao influenced middle and late Taosi to the extent of altering its cultural identity, as evidenced by the archaeological record.
The life of signs and the signs of life: bases and implications of Thomas A. Sebeok’s global semiotics
Authors: Petrilli Susan , Ponzio Augusto 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThomas Sebeok is a major representative of contemporary semiotics who dedicated his entire academic career to weaving his semiotic web, aware from the outset of the interdisciplinary nature of the field. On the belief thatwherever there is life there are signs, he extended the scope of the discipline well beyond verbal language and culture. The sign–life relationship is vital for all lifeforms on Earth, human and nonhuman, and demands close attention. Current developments in communication studies globally tend to have an exclusive focus on human signs, losing sight of communication understood in a broad sense as converging with life, with respect to which in reality human communication is only a part. Sebeok’s biosemiotic approach to semiosis, his “global semiotics” offers a foundational critique and response to anthropocentric and phonocentric tendencies that in language and communication studies have insistently exchanged the part for the whole. Today, in the world of global and globalized communication, such shortsightedness does not only indicate a characteristic limitation in sign and communication studies, but represents a generalized attitude that is putting life in danger over the planet. As “semiotic animals” we are called to take responsibility for the health of semiosis globally.
Joseph Wright’s sources in the English Dialect Dictionary: evidence of spoken English from EDD Online
Authors: Markus Manfred 
Published: November 2021

AbstractLinguists of historical English, of traditional dialects and present-day varieties of English, generally rely on written texts, now often available in the form of corpora. However, the historical development of English, including its regional dialects, was naturally rooted in the spoken vernacular, rather than the literary standard. This paper, based onEDD Online(3.0), therefore, argues that the wealth of sources as used by Wright in his comprehensiveEnglish Dialect Dictionary(EDD) should no longer be disregarded, given that no better information is available. After a critical assessment of the widespread scepticism towards theEDDsources and of the different motivation of scholars not primarily concerned with traditional dialects (such asOEDlexicographers), the paper first provides a survey of the different types of sources used by theEDDand presented in different lists and tables inEDDOnline, and then focuses on the unpublished sources. The subsequent section shows that part of the problem of spoken sources results from the unjustified insistence of many scholars on phonetics to be the level of linguistic interest. In answer to theOED’sscepticism towards Wright’s sources as expressed in a paper by Durkin (2010a), the final section provides an analysis of Northamptonshire dialect words as a test case, with various linguistic issues beyond theOED’sfocus on the temporal frame of reference.
Morphology and Tensile Properties as a Function of Welding Current in Thermoplastic Induction Welds
Authors: Ma W. P. , Bu H. C. , Wang F. Y. , Yang H. Y. , Xu Y. , Zhan X. H. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Compared to other conventional joining methods, induction welding offers the superiority of avoiding mechanical degradation and satisfying the need for weight reduction in the aircraft industry. In this paper, a metal mesh was adapted as an induction component in the induction welding of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with various currents. The effect of welding current on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the induction welding joint was further investigated. The results indicate that induction welding joints with the narrow thickness of the fusion zone and high tensile strength can be attained in the welding current range of 7.05 A to 11.05 A. However, when the current exceeds 13.91 A, the excessive heat input leads to the unsteady flow of PEEK or even thermal oxidative degradation and thermal decomposition, which increases the thickness of the fusion zone and reduces the tensile strength of the joint. In addition, the principal fracture mode presents cohesive failure, thereby promoting the tensile strength of the joint.
The Robustness of Conditional Logit for Binary Response Panel Data Models with Serial Correlation
Authors: Kwak Do Won , Martin Robert S. , Wooldridge Jeffrey M. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
We examine the conditional logit estimator for binary panel data models with unobserved heterogeneity. A key assumption used to derive the conditional logit estimator is conditional serial independence (CI), which is problematic when the underlying innovations are serially correlated. A Monte Carlo experiment suggests that the conditional logit estimator is not robust to violation of the CI assumption. We find that higher persistence and smaller time dimension both increase the magnitude of the bias in slope parameter estimates. We also compare conditional logit to unconditional logit, bias corrected unconditional logit, and pooled correlated random effects logit.
Statistical bias control in typology
Authors: Guzmán Naranjo Matías , Becker Laura 
Published: November 2021

AbstractIn this paper, we propose two new statistical controls for genealogical and areal bias in typological samples. Our test case being the effect of VO-order effect on affix position (prefixation vs. suffixation), we show how statistical modeling including a phylogenetic regression term (phylogenetic control) and a two-dimensional Gaussian Process (areal control) can be used to capture genealogical and areal effects in a large but unbalanced sample. We find that, once these biases are controlled for, VO-order has no effect on affix position. Another important finding, which is in line with previous studies, is that areal effects are as important as genealogical effects, emphasizing the importance of areal or contact control in typological studies built on language samples. On the other hand, we also show that strict probability sampling is not required with the statistical controls that we propose, as long as the sample is a variety sample large enough to cover different areas and families. This has the crucial practical consequence that it allows us to include as much of the available information as possible, without the need to artificially restrict the sample and potentially lose otherwise available information.
Band structure tuning of g-C3N4 via sulfur doping for broadband near-infrared ultrafast photonic applications
Authors: Dong Li , Chu Hongwei , Xu Shiping , Li Ying , Zhao Shengzhi , Li Dechun 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) featuring a stable heptazine ring structure and high polymerization degree, was indexed as a high thermochemical stability material, attracting rising research enthusiasm for diverse applications. However, the poor near-infrared (NIR) optical absorption and resulting limited NIR applications were pronounced for g-C3N4 due to its large bandgap of 2.7 eV. In the present work, sulfur-doping was manifested by first-principles calculations to introduce impurity level and result in anisotropic spin splitting in g-C3N4 for enhancing broadband nonlinear optical characteristics in NIR regime. The modified sulfur-doped g-C3N4 (S-C3N4) exhibited the maximum effective nonlinear absorption coefficient to be −0.82 cm/GW. Pulse duration within hundred nanoseconds was realized with high modulation stability employing S-C3N4 as saturable absorber in Q-switching operations. Moreover, broadband ultrafast photonics properties were successfully demonstrated in constructed ytterbium-doped and erbium-doped fiber lasers, generating highly stable dissipative soliton and traditional soliton mode-locking pulses. The presented S-C3N4 nanomaterial with remarkable nonlinear optical performances might explicitly boost the development and application of g-C3N4 materials in advanced optoelectronic and ultrafast photonic devices.

Approaches to the study of address in pluricentric languages: methodological reflections
Authors: Schüpbach Doris , Hajek John , Kretzenbacher Heinz L. , Norrby Catrin 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
While research on pluricentricity has traditionally focused on phonological, lexical and grammatical variation across national varieties, pluricentric languages also provide a rich laboratory for the exploration of pragmatic variation, and potentially new insights into the complexities of both pragmatics and pluricentricity. Pluricentric pragmatics remains a developing field and determining appropriate methodologies and strategies for data collection remains open to evaluation and assessment. Methodological considerations pertaining to address research in pluricentric languages are made from a range of perspectives, which are typically interconnected and will depend on the intended research focus. In this contribution we present a critical reflection on methodological aspects of pragmatic research, based on our own experiences investigating address in several pluricentric languages (in particular German and English). After a brief overview of the pluricentric languages considered and their address systems we provide an outline of the research projects reviewed. We then discuss in detail issues regarding data types and data collection (in particular questionnaires, interviews, focus groups and various online data) and consider further methodological aspects such as the choice of research framework, context and type of address investigated, quantitative and/or qualitative approaches taken and whether the research focus is on actual use, reported use and/or perceptions. We conclude with some suggestions for further research directions.
Croatia’s Knowledge Production on Kosovo around 1989
Authors: Janković Branimir 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In socialist Yugoslavia in 1989 the extremely sensitive matter of Kosovo had an ambiguous effect on the League of Communists of Croatia, which was then still caught in the so-called “Croatian silence”. It did however provoke much turbulence in the Croatian media, which made pointed comments on the larger Yugoslav crisis, on the situation in Kosovo, and on the politics of Serbian president Slobodan Milošević. An intense dynamic could be also found in the field of knowledge production which encompassed scholars, historians, and intellectuals. Who produced knowledge about Kosovo? What were their political and intellectual agendas? How did they intervene in the dominant discourses and media coverage, what debates and reactions did they spark? Within the frames of the history of knowledge, the history of books and intellectual history, the author here assesses the works on Kosovo of a number of Croatian and Yugoslav intellectuals, chiefly Darko Hudelist and Branko Horvat.
