Published: November 2021

IntroductionEarly childhood is a vital part of human life because most of the brain developments occur in this particular period. Early childhood disability is a significant global public health burden, which can negatively impact the children’s quality of life and their overall productivity. It is also a major social and economic problem in Bangladesh. Therefore, it is very important to understand the associated factors for early childhood disability, which may help disability prevention, better management and policy formulation. The main objective of this study is to investigate the child, family, and community-level factors associated with early childhood disability in Bangladesh.MethodsA cross sectional nationally representative data was derived from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), 2019. A total of 14,072 Bangladeshi children under five years of age were selected for this study. Various types of statistical analysis (simple, bivariate, multivariable) were performed. To assess the bivariate relationship between chosen categorical variables (independent) and early childhood disability (dependent), a chi-square test was used. The multivariable ordinal logistic regression was used to find out the association of disability with child, family, and community-level factors.ResultsThe results show that 2.0% of the children have at least one disability and 0.8% have more disabilities. Several factors namely not attending in early childhood education [Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.13–1.17 Ρ = 0.01], having mother’s functional difficulty (OR = 1.23; 95% (CI) = 0.58–1.88 Ρ <0.001), unhappy mother’s life (OR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.30–1.39 Ρ <0.001), parents without internet access (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.06–1.29 Ρ = 0.03) and parents using mobile phone (OR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.09–0.95 Ρ = 0.02) were found to be important for early childhood disability in Bangladesh.ConclusionEarly childhood disability is still neglected in Bangladesh and further epidemiological studies are recommended. The findings of this study may help policy makers and relevant stakeholders to develop interventions for reducing the overall burden of early childhood disability.

Authors: HOU Yongmei , Yingxin Cen 
Published: November 2021

Objective: To explore the characteristics and its relevant factors of learning engagement among high school students in economically developed areas in China. Methods: 808 high school students in Guangdong Province were selected by stratified cluster sampling. They were investigated with Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student-Chinese Version (UWES-S-CV), Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES), Interpersonal Comprehensive Diagnostic Scale (ICDS), Short-Form Egna Minnen AV Barndoms Uppprostran (s-EMBU), Emotional Support Questionnaire for Middle School Students to Understand Teachers (ESQUT) and a self-compiled general personal information questionnaire. Results: ⑴ The total score of UWES-S-CV, ASES, ICDS and the scores of three dimensions in UWES-S-CV, two subscales of ASES and four dimensions of ICDS, as well as the mother overprotection of s-EMBU were at the medium level. The total score of ESQUT and its four dimensions were at the medium high level. The scores of father’s and mother’s warmth of s-EMBU were at the high level, while the score of father’ negation, mother's negation and father's overprotection were at the low level. ⑵ Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis showed that 12 factors such as student origin, school category, class category, learning interest, the teaching method used most commonly, mother's education level, learning behavior self-efficacy, learning ability self-efficacy, father's warmth, mother's warmth, care and encouragement were positively correlated with the total score of UWES-S-CV (β=.120~.433, all P<.01), while grade, family economic status, self-rated learning burden, communication and making friends, father’s negation and mother’s negation were negatively correlated with the total score of UWES-S-CV (β=-. 073~ -. 407, all P <. 05). Conclusion The learning engagement among high school students needs to be improved. Social environment, family rearing style, school education and teaching style, as well as individual factors may be the main influencing factors of high school students' learning engagement.

„We make knowledge come alive“ – Das Bibliothekswesen in Singapur
Authors: Rehberger Emilie 
Published: November 2021

Zusammenfassung
Singapurs Bibliothekswesen erfreute sich besonders zu Beginn der 2000er Jahre großer internationaler Aufmerksamkeit. Grund dafür waren die tiefgreifenden Strukturveränderungen, die der Stadtstaat in seiner Bibliothekslandschaft durch die Verabschiedung eines umfangreichen Bibliotheksgesetzes, dem National Library Board Act, vornahm. Die Kombination aus zentraler staatlicher Verwaltung, gesetzlicher Verankerung, guter finanzieller Ausstattung und dem Bewusstsein über die Bedeutung einer hohen Kundenorientierung, machen Singapurs Bibliothekswesen heute besonders im Bereich der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken zu einem der Modernsten weltweit. Neben den Öffentlichen sollen aber auch die Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken des Stadtstaats in diesem Beitrag betrachtet werden, um so einen vollumfänglichen Überblick über die Bibliothekslandschaft Singapurs zu geben.
Digitalisierungsprojekte zu Afghanistan
Authors: Aigner Bernhard 
Published: November 2021

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Aufsatz liefert einen kurzen Überblick über das afghanische Bibliothekswesen. Im Zentrum stehen dabei zwei Digitalisierungsprojekte. Nach dem Einmarsch der US-Truppen folgten bald auch US-amerikanische Bibliothekar*innen zur Aufbauhilfe. Zudem wurden zahlreiche Öffentliche und wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken gegründet. Mit der „Digital Foundation Strategy for Afghanistan“ der afghanischen Regierung für die Jahre 2019 bis 2022 hätte wieder eine neue Entwicklungsstufe des Landes erreicht werden können. Durch den Abzug der NATO-Truppen und der Rückkehr der Taliban steht dies alles jedoch nun auf der Kippe.
Arrival and proliferation of the invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae in NE Atlantic islands
Authors: Faria João , Prestes Afonso C.L. , Moreu Ignacio , Martins Gustavo M. , Neto Ana I. , Cacabelos Eva 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The present study reports the recent occurrence and expansion of Rugulopteryx okamurae in the Azores archipelago (NE Atlantic). Morphological and molecular characters confirmed the species identification. Quick surveys around the island of São Miguel showed that it has successfully colonized the island and is quickly expanding. In some locations, R. okamurae is currently the dominant organism smothering all other benthic biota and posing a serious threat to the benthic ecosystems across the region. The species first record dates from 2019 near the main harbour of the island, suggesting that its introduction was driven by human-assisted transport, via boat ballast waters or adhered to ship hulls and likely originating from the Mediterranean populations that have been proliferating in recent years across the Strait of Gibraltar.

AbstractThis is the first study of thraustochytrids from the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia. One hundred and thirty-four isolates of thraustochytids were cultured from Al-Leith, Jeddah and Yanbu mangroves from this area, and were categorized into 38 morphotypes. Among the isolated thraustochytrids,Aurantiochytriumwas the most speciose genus, represented by 36 morphological types. Seventeen strains formed a distinct clade within the genusAurantiochytriumbased on phylogenetic analyses of 18S rDNA sequences. TheAurantiochytriumclade from the Middle East is characterized by the production of high levels of oleic and linoleic acids and may represent undescribed taxa. FourAurantiochytriumstrains were grown on large scale to study their ability to produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These strains produced biomass ranging from 37.7 to 66 g L−1and the percentages of oil ranged from 40 to 57.2% of the dry weight. Twenty-one fatty acids were recorded from the four strains which included: eight saturated four monounsaturated and nine polyunsaturated. Dominant fatty acids included C16:0 palmitic acid (24.14–37.02% total fatty acid (TFA)), C18:1ω9 oleic acid (3.01–25.07% TFA), C18:2ω6 linoleic acid (1.85–20.85% TFA) and C22:6ω3 DHA (4.87–16.5% TFA). DHA was the predominant polyunsaturated fatty acid in three strains, while linoleic acid was the predominant PUFAs in one strain.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most frequently life-threatening disease and the prominent cause of cancer-related mortality among human beings worldwide, where poor early diagnosis and expensive detection costs are considered as significant reasons. Here, we try to tackle this issue by proposing a novel label-free and low-cost strategy for rapid detection and distinction of lung cancer cells relying on plasmonic toroidal metasurfaces at terahertz frequencies. Three disjoint regions are displayed in identifiable intensity-frequency diagram, which could directly help doctors determine the type of lung cancer cells for clinical treatment. The metasurface is generated by two mirrored gold split ring resonators with subwavelength sizes. When placing analytes on the metasurface, apparent shifts of both the resonance frequency and the resonance depth can be observed in the terahertz transmission spectra. The theoretical sensitivity of the biosensor over the reflective index reaches as high as 485.3 GHz/RIU. Moreover, the proposed metasurface shows high angular stability for oblique incident angle from 0 to 30°, where the maximum resonance frequency shift is less than 0.66% and the maximum transmittance variation keeps below 1.33%. To experimentally verify the sensing strategy, three types of non-small cell lung cancer cells (Calu-1, A427, and 95D) are cultured with different concentrations and their terahertz transmission spectra are measured with the proposed metasurface biosensor. The two-dimensional fingerprint diagram considering both the frequency and transmittance variations of the toroidal resonance dip is obtained, where the curves for different cells are completely separated with each other. This implies that we can directly distinguish the type of the analyte cells and its concentration by only single spectral measurement. We envisage that the proposed strategy has potential for clinical diagnosis and significantly expands the capabilities of plasmonic metamaterials in biological detection.
A. J. Greimas in the world: travels, translations, transmissions
Authors: Broden Thomas F. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis essay adopts a semiotic perspective focused on practices of communication, movement, and translation to examine the global impact of A. J. Greimas (1917–1992) and his oeuvre. The linguist and semiotician’s lecture trips abroad, the number and provenance of international students in his Paris seminar, and the chronology and linguistic geography of translations of his work help describe, gauge, and explain the dissemination and development of his ideas throughout the world. His project has engendered distinctive appropriations and at times productive institutional structures in a number of cultural and linguistic contexts, notably Romance, Anglo-American, Germanic, Russian, Lithuanian, and Chinese. The broader historical relations between France and other lands, and the extent of each society’s use of the French language have conditioned, fostered, or impeded responses to his proposals. The conclusion’s discussion of the relative importance of personal contacts, socio-historical context, and the sociolinguistic and pedagogical status of French for his international reception aims to contribute to general methodological debates in the history of science and ideas and in transnational history.
Effect of adrenalectomy on remission of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with pheochromocytoma: a speckle-tracking echocardiography study

Published: November 2021

Background
Pheochromocytomas (PHEO) are tumours with the ability to produce, metabolize and secrete catecholamines. Catecholamines overproduction leads to the decrease of longitudinal function of the left ventricle (LV) measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography. Patients with PHEO have a lower magnitude of global longitudinal strain (GLS) than patients with essential hypertension. GLS normalization is expected after resolution of catecholamine overproduction.

Methods
Twenty-four patients (14 females and 10 males) with a recent diagnosis of PHEO have been examined before and 1 year after adrenalectomy. An echocardiographic examination including speckle-tracking analysis with the evaluation of GLS and regional longitudinal strain (LS) in defined groups of LV segments (basal, mid-ventricular and apical) was performed.

Results
One year after adrenalectomy, the magnitude of GLS increased (−14.3 ± 1.8 to −17.7 ± 1.6%; P < 0.001). When evaluating the regional LS, the most significant increase in the differences was evident in the apical segment compared to mid-ventricular and basal segments of LV (−5.4 ± 5.0 vs −1.9 ± 2.7 vs −1.6 ± 3.8; P < 0.01).

Conclusions
In patients with PHEO, adrenalectomy leads to an improvement of subclinical LV dysfunction represented by the increasing magnitude of GLS, which is the most noticeable in apical segments of LV.

OBJECTIVESWe evaluated the impact of distancing practices on secondary transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and the degree of sports-associated secondary transmission across a large diverse cohort of schools during spring 2021.METHODSParticipating districts in North Carolina and Wisconsin and North Carolina charter schools offering in-person instruction between March 15, 2021 and June 25, 2021 reported on distancing policies, community- and school-acquired infections, quarantines, and infections associated with school-sponsored sports. We calculated the ratio of school-acquired to community-acquired infection, secondary attack rates, and the proportion of secondary transmission events associated with sports. To estimate the effect of distancing and bus practices on student secondary transmission, we used a quasi–Poisson regression model with the number of primary student cases as the denominator.RESULTSDuring the study period, 1 102 039 students and staff attended in-person instruction in 100 North Carolina school districts, 13 Wisconsin school districts, and 14 North Carolina charter schools. Students and staff had 7865 primary infections, 386 secondary infections, and 48 313 quarantines. For every 20 community-acquired infections, there was 1 within-school transmission event. Secondary transmissions associated with school sports composed 46% of secondary transmission events in middle and high schools. Relaxed distancing practices (&lt;3 ft, 3 ft) and increased children per bus seat were not associated with increased relative risk of secondary transmission.CONCLUSIONSWith universal masking, in-person education was associated with low rates of secondary transmission, even with less stringent distancing and bus practices. Given the rates of sports-associated secondary transmission, additional mitigation may be warranted.

Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES
With layered mitigation strategies, there are low rates of secondary transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; therefore, quarantine after close-contact exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in the kindergarten through 12th grade (K–12) setting further disrupts in-person learning with uncertain benefit. We explored the impact of eliminating quarantine for students with mask-on-mask exposures to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on associated secondary transmission in schools.

METHODS
This observational study was conducted in a large K–12 public school district in Omaha, Nebraska (August 1, 2020, to March 15, 2021). We assessed primary and secondary COVID-19 infections in teachers and staff, frequency of quarantine for students and staff, and the impact of eliminating quarantine on secondary transmission in mask-on-mask exposure settings.

RESULTS
A total of 18 632 and 19 604 students and 2855 staff attended in-person learning in the fall and spring semesters, respectively; 1856 primary infections were among students and staff. Despite 3947 student quarantines in the fall and 1689 student quarantines in the first 10 weeks of spring semester instruction, there were only 2 cases of secondary transmission. A local policy change removed quarantine requirements for students with mask-on-mask exposure to COVID-19. Required quarantines in the spring semester reduced by 41% per primary infection compared with the fall; no student who qualified to avoid quarantine developed a secondary infection.

CONCLUSIONS
School-based COVID-19 transmission was exceptionally low in this large K–12 Nebraska school district. Elimination of student quarantine after masked exposure to COVID-19 within school was not associated with secondary transmission. Elimination of unnecessary quarantine elimination may help maximize in-person learning in the 2021–2022 school year.
IRMÃO VOTA EM PASTOR: Eleições de 2012 a 2020 em Recife
Authors: Brandão Rafael Ribeiro 
Published: November 2021

A expressão “irmão vota em irmão” é famosa no meio dos cristãos evangélicos e, conforme reportagem do website do G1 da Globo, em 2020 houve um crescimento no número de candidatos que concorreram às eleições daquele ano usando títulos religiosos. Na disputa para prefeitura de Recife existiram algumas polêmicas envolvendo o campo religioso, entretanto, foi na disputa para vereadores que vimos que os irmãos perderam espaço para pastor na cadeira da Câmara Municipal. A importância deste estudo reside, principalmente, na compreensão dos conceitos de laicidade e quanto isso pode influenciar nas decisões políticas de uma cidade ou mesmo de um país. Sendo nosso objetivo problematizar o avanço evangélico na disputa eleitoral municipal de Recife, refletir e aprofundar a relação religião, republicanismo e esfera pública em termos históricos e conceituais e analisar a relação dos candidatos com títulos religiosos e quanto isso se reverteu em conquista eleitoral.

Accessing the Political Press of the Second Polish Republic on the Internet
Authors: Kristanova Evelina 
Published: November 2021

Digital libraries provide an easy and convenient source of data for journalistic academic research. In this paper, the author answers the question of whether the most well-known socio-political Polish press titles published between 1918 and 1939 are available online and to what extent they are fully digitised and accessible in digital libraries. Through media content analysis and the press content analysis methods of Walery Pisarek, all the digital resources available for an ordinary Internet user were browsed. The main role of the analysis was to establish which journals and periodicals were published weekly and as daily newspapers. Also, the nature and political leanings of press publications were taken into consideration (each press title was usually associated with a particular party). At the same time, the texts were profiled as regional, national, Catholic, etc. ­Finally, an attempt to develop a typology of the given titles is made.
