Abstract
Background
The positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand 18F-THK5351 is now used to evaluate monoamine oxidase B expression in the reactive astrogliosis seen in various central nervous diseases. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is known to induce reactive astrogliosis in the lesion site. This is a first report to examine the spatial and temporal changes in reactive astrogliosis as evaluated by 18F-THK5351 after a severe TBI.

Case presentation
A 27-year-old man suffering from a severe TBI with multiple brain contusions was examined using 18F-THK5351 PET/CT in the subacute and chronic phases after the injury. The first PET scan, performed 46 days after the TBI, showed intense uptake of 18F-THK5351 in and around the brain contusions. The second PET scan, performed 271 days after the TBI, showed reduced uptake of 18F-THK5351 at the original sites of the brain contusions and increased uptakes in the white matter surrounding the contusions and the corpus callosum. The patient exhibited sustained improvement of neuropsychological impairment between the two PET examinations and remarkable recovery from the severe TBI.

Conclusions
There were evident temporal and spatial changes in 18F-THK5351 uptake in the traumatized brain between the two PET examinations. These changes may have been related to the remarkable neurological recovery in this patient. The degree and distribution of reactive astrogliosis detected by 18F-THK5351 PET may be useful in assessing pathophysiology and predicting prognosis in TBI patients.

Published: December 2021

AbstractIn the past three decades, we have witnessed unprecedented progress in wireless implantable medical devices that can monitor physiological parameters and interface with the nervous system. These devices are beginning to transform healthcare. To provide an even more stable, safe, effective, and distributed interface, a new class of implantable devices is being developed; injectable wireless microdevices. Thanks to recent advances in micro/nanofabrication techniques and powering/communication methodologies, some wireless implantable devices are now on the scale of dust (< 0.5 mm), enabling their full injection with minimal insertion damage. Here we review state-of-the-art fully injectable microdevices, discuss their injection techniques, and address the current challenges and opportunities for future developments.

Authors: Kwanjo Banda Chimwemwe , Gombachika Belinda T. , Nyirenda Moffat J. , Muula Adamson Sinjani 
Published: December 2021

Background: Self-management is key to the control of glycaemia and prevention of complications in people with diabetes. Many people with diabetes in Malawi have poorly controlled glucose and they experience diabetes-related complications. This study aimed to assess diabetes self-management behaviours and to identify factors associated with it among people with diabetes at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 510 adults attending a diabetes clinic at a teaching referral hospital in southern Malawi. The social cognitive theory was applied to identify factors associated with following all recommended self-management behaviours. Data on participants’ demographics, clinical history, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, social support, environmental barriers and diabetes self-management were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with following all self-management behaviours. Results: The mean age of participants was 53.6 (SD 13.3) years. The majority (82%) were females. Self-reported medication adherence within the last seven days was 88.6%; 77% reported being physically active for at least 30 minutes on more than three days in the previous seven days; 69% reported checking their feet every day and inspecting inside their shoes; 58% reported following a healthy diet regularly. Only 33% reported following all the self-management behaviours regularly. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that self-efficacy was the only social cognitive factor associated with following all the self-management practices (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Participants in our study were not consistently achieving all self-management practices with dietary practices being the least adhered to behaviour by many. To improve self-management practices of people with diabetes, current health education programs should not only aim at improving diabetes related knowledge but also self-efficacy. Adopting interventions that promote self-efficacy in diabetes patients such as exposure to role models, peer education, providing positive feedback, and counselling is recommended.
Medieval brick and stone timber framed houses – a missing link in the development of Silesian tenement house?
Authors: Mruczek Roland 
Published: December 2021

Our study presents the most recent directions of research on the medieval burgher house in Silesia, looking at the issue through the prism of a certain house from Głogów, unique in the region, with a mixed brick and timber-framed structure with Steinwerk, which forces us to ask questions about the universality of this type of solutions – long absent in the panorama of large Silesian cities. A proposition of the typology of Silesian townhouses with a mixed structure, which was based on the results of research conducted by the author in Silesian cities in the years 1997–2018, was also presented.
Regulation of Ordinary Partnership under Ethiopian Law: A Comparative Analysis of Selected Legal Issues with the French Civil Partnership and the Thai Ordinary Partnership Regimes
Authors: Haileyesus Israel Woldekidan 
Published: December 2021

Civil/ordinary partnerships as non-commercial entities play a vital role as an alternative form of doing business in various jurisdictions. Though the issue of where they should be regulated is becoming nonsensical in recent times, it is wise to have a well-structured legal framework which regulates these entities. This article aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the regulation of Ethiopia’s ordinary partnership with the French civil code partnership and the Thai ordinary partnership only on issues of formation, transfer of share, management, liability of partners, dissolution of partnership, distribution of profit and loss, and expulsion of a partner. The comparative analysis shows that in many areas of regulation, the Ethiopian law has more commonalities with that of Thai ordinary partnership and French civil code partnership legal regimes. This article also finds that the Ethiopian law of ordinary partnership ought to be improved as regards the issues of the transfer of shares related to ascendants and descendants, on the distribution of profits and losses, on the role of partners in a dissolution of the partnership, and on the expulsion of a partner.
Indirect Taxation of Events Beyond the Control of the Taxpayer in Crucial Tax and Customs Judgements of the Court of Justice
Authors: Lasiński-Sulecki Krzysztof 
Published: December 2021

Indirect taxes are shaped in such a way that the final customers bear their economic burden. The scope of taxation is usually delineated to cover all goods (and services) reaching the afore-mentioned final consumers. One may assume that the aim of a lawmaker is that goods (or services) supplied to the consumers should not remain untaxed. However, the intensity of pursuing this aim differs between VAT, excise duties, and customs duties. A scientific question that the rules outlined above bring about is whether it is acceptable – under the general principles of the European Union law perceived through a number of tax (customs) cases – to impose duties on a person or to deprive a taxpayer of rights owing to tax-relevant facts that have been entirely out of the control of this person or this taxpayer (customs debtor). Although the position of the Court of Justice towards this issue is not homogenous, the author of this article claims that situations that are wholly beyond the scope of control of a diligent person should not affect the tax (customs) situation to the detriment of such a person.
Institutional Investor Activism and Employee Safety: The Role of Activist and Board Political Ideology
Authors: Shi Wei , Xia Chongwu , Meyer-Doyle Philipp 
Published: December 2021

Although prior research on shareholder activism has highlighted how such activism can economically benefit the shareholders of targeted firms, recent studies also suggest that shareholder activism can economically disadvantage nonshareholder stakeholders, notably employees. Our study extends this research by exploring whether shareholder activism by institutional investors (i.e., institutional investor activism) can adversely affect employee health and safety through increased workplace injury and illness. Furthermore, deviating from the assumption that financially motivated institutional investor activists are homogeneous in their goals and preferences, we investigate whether the influence of institutional investor activism on employee health and safety hinges on the political ideology of the shareholder activist and of the board of the targeted firm. Using establishment-level data, we find that institutional investor activism adversely influences workplace injury and illness at targeted firms and that this influence is stronger for nonliberal shareholder activists and for firms with a nonliberal board. Our study contributes to shareholder activism research by highlighting how the political ideology of shareholder activists and boards affects the impact of shareholder activism on stakeholders and how shareholder activism can adversely affect the health and safety of employees. Furthermore, our paper also contributes to research on workplace safety and the management of employee relations and human capital resources by highlighting the detrimental effect of a firm’s ownership by investor activists on its employees and how the board’s political ideology may enable a firm to reduce this risk.

Published: December 2021

With an exponential increase in the number of applications and user demand, it is essential to respond to the query of users with fast services and networks used. This is possible only by the use of ubiquitous networks supporting mass media communications. The integration of advanced technologies such as Communication, Navigation and Sensing Services (CONASENSE) and Human Bond Communications (HBC) takes care of sensing, services, data, speed, cooperation, content, and cost of communication. The combination of Data, Technology, and Media used for intelligent computation and communication over the internet could serve the purpose, and that’s the urgent demand of growing networks marching towards a fusion of IoT and 5G leading to 6G. IoT with 5G will be the backbone of networks in the future generation network, adding the concept of virtualization at Anytime, Anywhere, Anything, and Anybody. The definition of ubiquitous technology considers it networked, wireless and mobile, to connect a more significant number of users and the world around them. The ubiquitous network connects the D2D, M2M, D2M and uses the ICT and Cloud-based technology to mitigate the QoS parameters. The paper’s primary contribution is the proposal of 6G enabling technologies and use cases to demonstrate the need and integration of various prime techniques as IoT++5G++Cloud++AI/ML. The technology road map and proposed C6-WISDOM model illustrate the fundamentals of enabling future ubiquitous networks (6G). It also focuses on the critical requirements of 6G technology in support of ubiquitous networks and identifies the present technologies integrated to provide vertical sustainable wireless networking solutions.
Open-source 3D-printed terahertz pulse time-domain holographic detection module
Authors: Grachev Yaroslav V. , Kokliushkin Vladimir A. , Petrov Nikolay V. 
Published: December 2021

We present a holographic detection module to measure the spatially resolved distribution of pulsed terahertz field in a single scan by a motorized translation stage, responsible for the time delay. All mounts of the optical elements of the module are easily reproduced by 3D printing and attached to the optical cage system. The latter greatly simplifies the measurement procedure, allowing the experimenter to move and adjust the detection system as a single device. The developed mounts are made universal and can be used in other setups. We have made 3D models available as open-source hardware. The module is based on an electro-optical detection scheme with wide-aperture ZnTe crystal, crossed polarizers, and a matrix photodetector. The validation of its operability was performed with two experiments to measure the spatial distribution of the unperturbed field from the generator and the vortex field formed by the spiral phase plate. Optical vortices with multiple topological charges of 2–4 were detected on spectral components in the range from 0.3 to 1.1 THz. In addition, we have detailed the alignment process of terahertz imaging systems.
Homodyne laser vibrometer modified by an LCVR for measurement at the nanometer level

Published: December 2021

The existence of periodic nonlinear error restricts the performance of
the homodyne laser vibrometer in sub-fringe amplitude vibration
measurement. A homodyne laser vibrometer with nanoscale-amplitude
detectability by using a liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) is
proposed. The LCVR introduces an extra variation of optical path
difference larger than the laser wavelength to acquire a full ellipse
so that the nonlinearity correction parameters could be pre-extracted.
The experiments showed that the nonlinear error could be well
suppressed with the correction process based on the pre-extracted
parameters, and the detectable minimum amplitude is less than 1 nm. In
addition, measurement of vibration with the reflectivity of measured
targets down to 0.048% was achieved with an automatic-gain-control
module.
Reversibly controlled infrared transparency of conjugated polymer films incorporated into a compact electrochemical cell structure
Authors: Unuma Takeya , Ishizaka Yuya 
Published: December 2021

We demonstrate a reversible control of the mid-infrared (mid-IR) transparency of conjugated polymer films in a compact electrochemical cell structure with planar IR-transparent electrodes. The mid-IR absorbance of up to more than 1.0 is observed when a 1.0 µm thick polythiophene layer is electrochemically doped with an ionic liquid under variable bias voltage. Furthermore, the doping and dedoping processes can be repeated with reproductive absorbance spectra, in contrast to the conventional one-way chemical doping. Our device structure works for actively variable attenuation filters in the mid-IR region and can also be extended potentially to the terahertz region.
Factors influencing help-seeking by those who have experienced intimate partner violence: Results from a New Zealand population-based study
Authors: Malihi Zarintaj , Fanslow Janet L. , Hashemi Ladan , Gulliver Pauline , McIntosh Tracey 
Published: December 2021

Background
There is limited information about what influences help-seeking following experience of intimate partner violence (IPV). This study investigated determinants of formal and informal help-seeking by those who had experienced lifetime physical, sexual or psychological IPV.

Methods
A cross-sectional population-based New Zealand study conducted from 2017 to 2019 recruited 2,887 participants (1,464 women and 1,423 men) aged 16 years and older. Face-to-face interviews were conducted. Of these, 1,373 participants experienced physical, sexual or psychological IPV. Two series of logistic regressions were conducted: 1) comparing those who sought help with those who did not, and 2) comparing those who had not sought help with those who sought informal help only, or with those who also sought formal help.

Results
Of the 1,373 participants who reported experience of physical, sexual or psychological IPV 835 participants (71.3% of women and 49.0% of men) sought some form of help. In both genders self-reported physical and mental health or work-related IPV impacts were significantly associated with help-seeking. Experiencing only one form of IPV was associated with lower odds of seeking formal help by women (Adjusted odds ratio = 0.38; 95%CI = 0.15, 0.92 for physical/sexual only and AOR = 0.37, 95%CI = 0.22, 0.64 for psychological only) compared to those experiencing concurrent types of IPV.

Conclusion and implications
Although there were gender differences in help-seeking, for both women and men the experience of greater impacts associated with IPV exposure increased the likelihood of help-seeking. Agencies providing services for people who are experiencing IPV need to be equipped to identify and respond to multiple forms of IPV, and prepared to address the suite of impacts experienced.

Introduction
Desmoid tumor is a locally-invasive neoplasm that causes significant morbidity. There is recent interest in cryotherapy for treatment of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. This systematic review assesses evidence on safety and efficacy of cryotherapy in the treatment of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors.

Materials and methods
The systematic review was conducted with reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Literature search was performed using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. 9 full text papers were reviewed and meta-analysis was performed for measures of safety, efficacy and symptom relief.

Results
The estimated pooled proportion of major and minor complications was 4.2% (95% CI, 1.8–9.6; I 2 = 0%) and 10.2% (95% CI, 5.7–17.8; I 2 = 0%) respectively. The estimated pooled proportion of non-progressive disease rate of all studies was 85.8% (95% CI, 73.4–93.0; I 2 = 32.9%). The estimated progression free survival rate at 1 year was 84.5% (95% CI:74.6–95.8) and 78.0% at 3 years (95% CI: 63.8–95.3). As for pain control, the estimated pooled proportion of patients with decrease in visual analogue scale (VAS) > = 3 for those with VAS > = 3 before treatment for 2 studies was 87.5% (95% CI, 0.06–100; I 2 = 71.5%) while 37.5% to 96.9% of patients were reported to have experienced partial or complete symptom relief in the other studies.

Conclusion
Cryotherapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for extra-abdominal desmoid tumors with efficacy similar to those treated with traditional strategies in the short to medium term.

Background
Understanding the actual prevalence of COVID-19 transmission in the community is vital for strategic responses to the pandemic. This study aims to estimate the actual infection of COVID-19 through a seroprevalence survey and to predict infection fatality rate (IFR) in Tanjung Priok, the hardest-hit sub-district by the COVID-19 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Methods
We conducted a venous blood sampling (phlebotomy) to 3,196 individuals in Tanjung Priok between Nov 23, 2020, and Feb 19, 2021 to detect their antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Using an enumerator-administered questionnaire, we collected data on the respondents’ demographic characteristics, COVID-19 test history, COVID-19 symptoms in the last 14 days, comorbidities, and protective behaviours during the last month. We employed descriptive analysis to estimate the seroprevalence and IFR.

Findings
The prevalence of Antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was 28.52% (95% CI 25.44–31.81%), with the result being higher in females than males (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.02–1.42). By the end of the data collection (February 9, 2021), the cumulative cases of COVID-19 in Tanjung Priok were reported to be experienced by 9,861 people (2.4%). Those aged 45–65 were more likely to be seropositive than 15–19 years old (OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.05–1.92). Nearly one third (31%) of the subjects who developed at least one COVID-19 symptom in the last 14 days of the data collection were seropositive. The estimated IFR was 0.08% (95% CI 0.07–0.09), with a higher figure recorded in males (0.09; 95% CI 0.08–0.10) than females (0.07; 95% CI 0.06–0.08), and oldest age group (45–65) (0.21; 95% CI 0.18–0.23) than other younger groups.

Conclusion
An under-reporting issue was found between the estimated COVID-19 seroprevalence and the reported cumulative cases in Tanjung Priok. More efforts are required to amplify epidemiological surveillance by the provincial and local governments.

Authors: Ahmad Diki 
Published: December 2021

Artikel ini membahas peran perempuan Hare Krishna dalam memaknai darma ajaran di Narayana Smrti Ashram D.I. Yogyakarta. Perempuan dalam kitab suci Hare Krishna dan Bhagavad Gita sebagai sosok rendah dan lemah. Posisi ini menilai perempuan harus dilindungi, dikontrol, dan dibatasi kebebasannya. Namun, seiring berjalan waktu, perubahan tentang makana perempuan mempunyai peran penting dalam pembinaan dan pemberdayaan karir dalam optimalisasi kemampuan SDM. Artikel ini membahas feminisme dalam rana ajaran agama. Teori analisis gender Mansour Fakih dan teori variabel pola Talcott Parsons adalah pisau analisis wacana teks agama dalam kritik feminisme. Dalam teori tersebut menyimpulkan pola kedudukan perempuan dalam ajaran sanyasin (guru spiritual) pada varnaashramadharma. Berangkat dari budaya, norma, nilai, dan keyakinan, para perempuan Hare Krishna menghiasi peran dalam berbagai kesempatan baik dalam rumah tangga dan peran keagama seperti tokoh agama.[The article discusses the role of the woman Hare Krishna in interpreting the knowledge of Narayana Smrti Ashram D.I. Yogyakarta. In the Kitab of Hare Krishna and Bhagavad Gita, women are as lowly and weak. The position assesses that women must be protected, controlled, and put freedom limited. However, women meaning have an important role in fostering and empowering careers in optimizing human resource capabilities. This article discusses feminism in terms of religious faith. Mansour Fakih's theory and Talcott Parsons' theory of variable patterns are the blades of discourse analysis of religious texts in criticism of feminism. In deep theory concludes the women's position in the meaning of sanyasin in varnaashramadharma. Departing from culture, norms, values, and beliefs, Hare Krishna women adorn roles in various occasions both in household and in religious roles such as religious leaders.]
