The Uses of Light: Visuality, Metaphor and Rhetorical Strategy in the Daśabhūmikasūtra
Authors: Newton Nic 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The Daśabhūmikasūtra has a number of distinctly visual components. However, how, and to what ends, imagery functions in this text is less clear. Taking a single narrative episode at the beginning of the text as its main focus this paper offers an examination of the pivotal metaphor of the peaked dwelling of networks of dense clouds of great light rays (mahāraśmighanābhrajālakūṭāgāra). In attempting to show the importance of visuality to the rhetoric of the text the following approach is offered: exploration of the conceptual domains of the elements of the composition to provide approximated access to cultural context; visual reconstruction of the narrative sequence; analysis of the visual articulation of meaning and interpretation of the strategic use of visual rhetoric.
Tiantai Buddhist Elaborations on the Hidden and Visible
Authors: Kantor Hans-Rudolf 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
A crucial feature of Tiantai (天台) Buddhist thought certainly is its elaboration on the hidden and visible, called “root and traces” (ben ji 本跡), as the concept of non-duality (bu er 不二) of these opposites is part of what constitutes the highest level of Buddhist doctrine in Tiantai doxography, called “round/ perfect teaching” (yuanjiao 圓教). Such elaboration is inextricably bound up with paradoxical discourse, which functions as a linguistic strategy in Tiantai practice of liberating the mind from its self-induced deceptions.
Observation of paradoxes in the elaboration on the hidden and visible could be called practice qua doctrinal exegesis, because Tiantai masters try to integrate self-referential observation in mind-contemplation (guanxin 觀心) with interpretation of sūtra and śāstra. For Tiantai Buddhists, the ultimate meaning of the Buddhadharma (fofa 佛法) itself is independent from speech and script and only accessible to the liberated mind, yet it cannot fully be comprehended and displayed apart from the transmission of the canonical word. To observe the paradox in non-duality of the hidden and visible is what triggers practice qua doctrinal exegesis and entails liberation (jietuo 解脫) according to the “round/ perfect teaching.”
The article traces the formation of paradoxical discourse in Chinese Madhyamaka, particularly referencing the Tiantai elaboration on the hidden and visible and its diverse sources of inspiration, which includes both Chinese indigenous traditions of thought (Daoism and Xuanxue) and translated sūtra and śāstra literature from India.
Anti-phosphatidyl-serine/prothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT) in isolated lupus anticoagulant (LA): is their presence linked to dual test positivity?

Published: August 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Anti phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT) are often present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and might be relevant in the pathogenesis of this condition. They are major determinant of lupus anticoagulant (LA) in triple-positive antiphospholipid (aPL) profile. Whether they are present and pathogenic in patients with isolated LA [negative anticardiolipin (aCL) and anti β2-glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI) antibodies] is a matter of debate.

Methods
We measured aPS/PT in a large number of isolated LA with the aim to ascertain whether there is a link between the way isolated LA is assessed and the presence of these antibodies. APS/PT were measured in 86 patients with isolated LA (aCL- and abeta2GPI-). LA was assessed by two test systems, the dilute Russell Viper Venom Time (dRVVT) and the Silica Clotting Time (SCT).

Results
Sixty-six (77%) individuals with isolated LA were positive for aPS/PT (IgM 44, IgG and IgM 15, IgG in 7). Diagnosis of LA was made based on positive results in both dRVVT and SCT in 40 patients (Group 1) and based on only one positive test in the remaining 46 patients (Group 2). The rate of positive aPS/PT antibodies was significantly higher in Group 1 (OR=7.2, 95% CI 1.9–27.0, p<0.002). Moreover, the titre of IgM aPS/PT was significantly increased in Group 1 as compared to Group 2 (137 U, IQR 64–179 vs. 43 U, IQR 11–120, p=0.008).

Conclusions
These data indicate an association between LA based on two positive coagulation tests and the presence of aPS/PT antibodies, especially of IgM isotype.

A p-adic variant of Kontsevich–Zagier integral operation rules and of Hrushovski–Kazhdan style motivic integration

Abstract
We prove that if two semi-algebraic subsets of

{\mathbb{Q}_{p}^{n}}

a positive answer to a p-adic analogue of a question asked by Kontsevich–Zagier in the reals (though the question in the reals is much harder). On the other hand, our result can also be considered as stating that over

How patients describe their diagnosis compared to clinical documentation
Authors: Gleason Kelly , Dahm Maria R. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Objectives
To explore how patients describe their diagnoses following Emergency Department (ED) discharge, and how this compares to electronic medical record (EMR) documentation.

Methods
We conducted a cohort study of patients discharged from three EDs. Patients completed questionnaires regarding their understanding of their diagnosis. Inclusion criteria: adult ED patients aged 18 and older seen within the last seven days. We independently compared patient-reported new diagnoses following discharge to EMR-documented diagnoses regarding diagnostic content (identical, insignificantly different, different, not enough detail) and the level of technical language in diagnostic description (technical, semi-technical, lay).

Results
The majority of participants (n=95 out of 137) reported receiving a diagnosis and stated the given diagnosis. Of those who reported their diagnosis, 66%, were females (n=62), the average age was 43 (SD 16), and a fourth (n=24) were Black and 66% (n=63) were white. The majority (84%) described either the same or an insignificantly different diagnosis. For 11% the patient-reported diagnosis differed from the one documented. More than half reported their diagnosis using semi-technical (34%) or technical language (26%), and over a third (40%) described their diagnosis in lay language.

Conclusions
Patient-reported diagnoses following ED discharge had moderate agreement with EMR-documented diagnoses. Findings suggest that patients might reproduce verbatim semi-technical or technical diagnoses they received from clinicians, but not fully understood what the diagnosis means for them.
Fibrillar biopolymer-based scaffolds to study macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk in wound repair
Authors: Ullm Franziska , Pompe Tilo 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Controlled wound healing requires a temporal and spatial coordination of cellular activities within the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Disruption of cell–cell and cell–matrix communication results in defective repair, like chronic or fibrotic wounds. Activities of macrophages and fibroblasts crucially contribute to the fate of closing wounds. To investigate the influence of the ECM as an active part controlling cellular behavior, coculture models based on fibrillar 3D biopolymers such as collagen have already been successfully used. With well-defined biochemical and biophysical properties such 3D scaffolds enable in vitro studies on cellular processes including infiltration and differentiation in an in vivo like microenvironment. Further, paracrine and autocrine signaling as well as modulation of soluble mediator transport inside the ECM can be modeled using fibrillar 3D scaffolds. Herein, we review the usage of these scaffolds in in vitro coculture models allowing in-depth studies on the crosstalk between macrophages and fibroblasts during different stages of cutaneous wound healing. A more accurate mimicry of the various processes of cellular crosstalk at the different stages of wound healing will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of biochemical and biophysical environmental parameters and help to develop further strategies against diseases such as fibrosis.
Migranten als Inbegriff intersektionaler Subjekte – Analyse von Diskriminierungserfahrungen der in Deutschland lebenden ChinesInnen
Authors: Zhao Jing , Li Yuan 
Published: August 2021

Zusammenfassung
ChinesInnen in Deutschland sehen im Alltag nicht selten verschiedenen Diskriminierungssituationen gegenüber. Jedoch ist ein Mangel diesbezüglicher wissenschaftlicher Studien festzustellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit subjektiv empfundener Diskriminierung von chinesischen MigrantInnen in Deutschland. Basierend auf der Multi-sited Ethnography werden die Diskriminierungserfahrungen der MigrantInnen aus ihrer eigenen Perspektive mithilfe des Begriffes der Intersektionalität rekonstruiert und untersucht. Um die Komplexität der Diskriminierungserfahrungen zu erfassen, werden folgende Fragen gestellt: Wie erleben ChinesInnen in Deutschland in ihrem Alltag Diskriminierung und wie gehen sie damit um? Wie lassen sich ferner die Ergebnisse für die Realität von chinesischen MigrantInnen und die zukünftige Migrationsforschung deuten?
Auf der Basis der empirischen Feldforschung werden die Lebensbereiche, die Wahrnehmung und die Formen intersektionaler Diskriminierung vorgestellt und die Reaktionsmuster chinesischer MigrantInnen herausgearbeitet. Intersektionalität ist auf drei Ebenen als Sensibilisierungsstrategie zu betrachten: Sie hilft auf der einen Seite der Mehrheitsgesellschaft, Sensibilität und Sympathie für die gesellschaftliche Minderheit zu schaffen, schützt auf der anderen Seite vor potenzieller Binnendiskriminierung der Betroffenen und trägt zu der Migrationsforschung bei, komplexe Lebensverhältnisse des Alltags bestmöglich zu reflektieren.
Quantifying the extent of visit irregularity in longitudinal data
Authors: Lokku Armend , Birken Catherine S , Maguire Jonathon L , Pullenayegum Eleanor M 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The timings of visits in observational longitudinal data may depend on the study outcome, and this can result in bias if ignored. Assessing the extent of visit irregularity is important because it can help determine whether visits can be treated as repeated measures or as irregular data. We propose plotting the mean proportions of individuals with 0 visits per bin against the mean proportions of individuals with >1 visit per bin as bin width is varied and using the area under the curve (AUC) to assess the extent of irregularity. The AUC is a single score which can be used to quantify the extent of irregularity and assess how closely visits resemble repeated measures. Simulation results confirm that the AUC increases with increasing irregularity while being invariant to sample size and the number of scheduled measurement occasions. A demonstration of the AUC was performed on the TARGet Kids! study which enrolls healthy children aged 0–5 years with the aim of investigating the relationship between early life exposures and later health problems. The quality of statistical analyses can be improved by using the AUC as a guide to select the appropriate analytic outcome approach and minimize the potential for biased results.
Optimization and statistical analysis of sono-Fenton treated wastewater of food industry using reactor by response surface method
Authors: Juwar Vijay A. , Rathod Ajit P. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The present study deals with the treatment of complex waste (WW) treated for removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the food industry by a sono-Fenton process using a batch reactor. The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the five independent variables, such as reaction time, the molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+, volume ratio of H2O2/WW, pH of waste, and ultrasonic density on COD removal. The experimental data was optimized. The optimization yields the conditions: Reaction time of 24 min, HP:Fe molar ratio of 2.8, HP:WW volume ratio of 1.9 ml/L, pH of 3.6 and an ultrasonic density of 1.8 W/L. The predicted value of COD was 91% and the experimental result was 90%. The composite desirability value (D) of the predicted percent of COD removal at the optimized level of variables was close to one (D = 0.991).
A second-order nonlocal regularized variational model for multiframe image super-resolution
Authors: Laghrib Amine , Aitbella Fatimzehrae , Hakim Abdelilah 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new nonlocal super-resolution (SR) model which is a combination of the nonlocal total variation (TV) regularization and the nonlocal p-Laplacian term (with p = 2). This choice is motivated by the success of the nonlocal TV term in preserving image edges and the efficiency of the nonlocal p-Laplacian term in preserving the image texture. To ensure the convergence of the proposed optimization SR problem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution in a well-posed framework. In addition, to resolve the encountered minimization problem, we proposed a modified primal-dual algorithm and numerical results are also given to show the performance of the proposed approach.
Chinese teenagers’ perceptions of vitality of Hokkien Chinese in Penang, Malaysia
Authors: Ting Su-Hie , Teng Jonathan Zie-Ming 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe study assessed Chinese teenagers’ perceptions of vitality of Hokkien Chinese in Penang using the Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS). The survey involved 156 students aged 13–19 (100 Hokkien; 56 non-Hokkien Chinese). The results showed that the vitality of Hokkien in Penang is at EGIDS Level 6b (Threatened). The identity function of Hokkien in Penang is that of a home language, and children are the youngest generation of Hokkien speakers. The stability of the diglossic situation between Hokkien and Mandarin has been disrupted due to Mandarin encroaching into oral domains of language use, particularly the friendship and education domains. Both Hokkien and non-Hokkien teenagers have positive attitudes towards Hokkien. Chinese educational background is the only social factor that makes a significant difference in Hokkien usage among the Chinese teenagers, while gender, socio-economic status and language attitudes have no significant effect on Hokkien usage. In view of this, institutional support for Mandarin is the most important structural factor that has a clear, but adverse, impact on Hokkien usage. Hokkien cannot compete with the functions of Mandarin as a marker of Chinese identity in Malaysia, a gateway to career and business opportunities, and a global language within the Chinese diaspora.

Abstract

Objectives
Sustained stress can cause physiological disruption in crucial systems like the endocrine, autonomic, and central nervous system. In general, skin damages are physical stress present in hospitalized patients. Also, these pressure injuries lead to pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the neurobiology of mood disorders. Here, we aimed to investigate the behavioral alterations, oxidative stress, and corticosterone levels in the brain areas of mice submitted to the model of pressure injury (PI).

Methods
The male mice behaviors were assessed in the open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze test (EPM), tail suspension test (TST), and sucrose preference test (SPT). Then, we isolated the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HP), and striatum (ST) by brain dissection. The nonprotein sulfhydryl groups (NP-SH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in the brain, and also the plasma corticosterone levels were verified.

Results
PI model decreased the locomotor activity of animals (p<0.05). Considering the EPM test, the PI group showed a decrease in the open arm activity (p<0.01), and an increase in the closed arm activity (p<0.05). PI group showed an increment in the immobility time (p<0.001), and reduced sucrose consumption (p<0.0001) compared to the control groups. Regarding the oxidative/nitrosative profile, all brain areas from the PI group exhibited a reduction in the NP-SH levels (p<0.0001–p<0.01), and an increase in the MDA level (p<0.001–p<0.01). Moreover, the PI male mice presented increased levels of plasma corticosterone (p<0.05).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the PI model induces depressive and anxiety-like behaviors. Furthermore, it induces pathophysiological mechanisms like the neurobiology of depression.
Modeling and comparative analysis of all-class converged-coexistence NG-PON2 network for 5G-IoT-FTTX-services and application
Authors: Pagare Rajendraprasad A. , Kumar Santosh , Mishra Abhilasha 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
We presented a concept of converged coexistence (CC) access network and generate, and test model is demonstrated for optimization of channel launch power PTODN in the distribution network which subsequently confirm power budget class of NG-PON2 in this paper. Multiplexing of wavelength and time (TWDM) technology is incorporated for multichannel NG-PON2 configurations for 5G, internet-of-things (IoT) applications, and fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) services. CC NG-PON2 symmetric configuration supporting 2.5 and 10 Gbps channels are analyzed and compared in the sight of channel nonlinear impairments includes Kerr-effect (γ) spanning from self phase modulation (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (CPM), chromatic dispersion (CD), and four wave mixing (FWM) in worst-case scenario. Intensity modulation (IM) technique incorporated before multiplexing the D/S channels by coexisting element (CEx) and coupled to wavelength routed (WR) optical distribution network (ODN). U/S channels are routed using wavelength select (WS) ODN. ODN is implemented using G.652 non zero dispersion shift (NZ-DSF) single-mode (SM) fiber. Multi-channel spectrum envelope propagating in either direction is optimized to PTODN = 3/5/7/9 dBm and 4 dBm, respectively. The theoretical modeling and simulative results confirms the proposed network configuration supports incremental receiver sensitivity (Rxs) as −42.19/−42/−39.75/−37.97 dBm and −35.45/−35.38/−33.45/0.38/−42 dBm for λ1 2.5 Gbps and λ8 10 Gbps TWDM and PtP WDM channels, respectively, for all-class networks supporting splitter configuration ratio of 640 at 50 km mitigating effect of channel nonlinearities like CD, SPM, cross-phase modulation (XPM), and FWM for λ8 10 Gbps channel.
All-optical simultaneous XOR-AND operation using 1-D periodic nonlinear material
Authors: Chattopadhyay Tanay 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
In this paper, an all-optical XOR-AND gate operation has been proposed using one-dimensional periodic nonlinear material model. This structure consists of alternating layers of different nonlinear materials. In this design, we can obtain XOR and AND logical operation simultaneously at the reflected and transmitted port of the periodic structure. Numerical simulation has also been done using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. The response time of this switching operation is picoseconds (ps) range order. We find low insertion loss (−3.01 dB), high contrast ratio (14.13 dB) and high extension ratio (10.93 dB) of this device. This design will be useful in future all-optical computing.
A new subspecies of Finlayson’s squirrel from an isolated island offshore of the Indochina Peninsula in southern Vietnam

Abstract
We describe a new subspecies of Finlayson’s squirrel (Callosciurus finlaysonii) from Hon Nghe Island in the Gulf of Thailand. This island is located off the coast of southern Vietnam. In addition, we discussed the phylogenetic relationships among C. finlaysonii subspecies distributed on the isolated islands in the Gulf of Thailand. The new subspecies (C. finlaysonii honnghensis), which is endemic to Hon Nghe Island, differs from other C. finlaysonii subspecies in pelage colouration. The mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences showed that this squirrel is closely related to C. finlaysonii albivexilli and C. finlaysonii frandseni, which are endemic to the Koh Kut and Koh Chang islands, respectively, suggesting that the three subspecies diverged approximately 30,000 years ago. After the last glacial maximum, many small islands were formed by the sea level rise in the Gulf of Thailand, which was a consequence of global warming. Following the continuous fragmentation of the Sunda Continent, each C. finlaysonii subspecies could have evolved in each geographically isolated island in this gulf. Thus, studying C. finlaysonii subspecies may be used to track the recent geological history of the Gulf of Thailand.
