Thoughts on Making Films with Barbara Hammer
Authors: Sachs Lynne 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This personal essay articulates filmmaker Lynne Sachs's experiences working with experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer. Sachs conveys the journey of her relationship with Hammer when they were both artists living in San Francisco in the late 1980s and 1990s and then later in New York City. Sachs initially discusses her experiences making Carolee, Barbara and Gunvor (US, 2018), which includes Hammer, the conceptual and performance artist Carolee Schneemann, and the experimental filmmaker Gunvor Nelson. She then discusses her 2019 film, A Month of Single Frames, which uses material from Hammer's 1998 artist residency in a Cape Cod shack without running water or electricity. While there, she shot film, recorded sounds, and kept a journal. In 2018, Hammer began her process of dying by revisiting her personal archive. She gave all of her images, sounds, and writing from the residency to Sachs and invited her to make a film with the material. Through her own filmmaking, Sachs explores Hammer's experience of solitude. She places text on the screen as a way to be in dialogue with both Hammer and her audience. This essay provides context for the intentions and challenges that grew out of both of these film collaborations.

Published: November 2021

Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD) is a rare autosomal recessive neuro-metabolic disorder caused by a mutation in the sulfite oxidase (SUOX) gene situated on chromosome 12. Due to the deficiency of this mitochondrial enzyme (sulfite oxidase), the oxidative degradation of toxic sulfites is disrupted. The most common form of this disease has an early onset (classical ISOD) in the neonatal period, with hypotonia, poor feeding and intractable seizures, mimicking hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. The evolution is rapidly progressive to severe developmental delay, microcephaly and early death. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment and the prognosis is very poor. In this article, we described the evolution of early continuous electroencephalography (EEG) in a case of ISOD with neonatal onset, as severely encephalopathic background, with refractory seizures and distinct delta-beta complexes. The presence of the delta-beta complexes might be a diagnostic marker in ISOD. We also performed a literature review of published cases of neonatal ISOD that included EEG monitoring.
Moving beyond formulae: a review of international population-based resource allocation policy and implications for Ireland in an era of healthcare reform
Authors: Johnston Bridget M. , Burke Sara , Kavanagh Paul M. , O'Sullivan Caoimhe , Thomas Steve , Parker Sarah 
Published: November 2021

Background:Population-based resource allocation is a specific approach to population health planning that is used to address differences in population need to promote equity and efficiency in health and health system outcomes. However, while previous studies havedescribedthis type of funding model, they have not comparedhowsuch policies and practices have been implemented across jurisdictions. This research examined the impacts and outcomes of population-based resource allocation across six high-income countries, with a view to informing strategic decision-making as Ireland progresses its universal healthcare reform agenda.Methods:A concurrent multi-method approach was employed to examine the experiences of six jurisdictions selected for analysis: Australia (New South Wales), Canada (Alberta), England, New Zealand, Scotland and Sweden (Stockholm). A documentary analysis of key policy, strategy and planning publications was combined with a narrative rapid review of peer-reviewed and grey literature (n = 8) to determine how population-based resource allocation is specified and implemented. The findings were checked and verified by national experts.Results:Notable differences were observed across countries in terms of the stated objectives and descriptions of models as well as the criteria for choosing variables and the variables ultimately used in funding formulae. While population-based resource allocation can help improve equity related to healthcare outcomes and access, a number of tensions were revealed between the need to ensure alignment between policy goals and model design; transition between models; support regionalisation policies; and develop robust governance and monitoring mechanisms to maximise outcomes.Conclusions:The review progresses ‘thinking’ about population-based resource allocation beyond the technical aspects of model or formulae construction. Population-based resource allocation should be viewed as just one lever of large-scale health system reform that can be thoughtfully developed, monitored and adjusted in a way that supports the goals of Sláintecare and the delivery of universal healthcare.

A highly sensitive plasmonic refractive index biosensor for hemoglobin protein detection in blood is presented in the near-infrared region. The proposed Au split-ring resonator structure with an extra arm is used to increase electric field enhancement intensity in the vicinity of the nanostructure, which excites localized surface plasmon resonances in the metal-dielectric interface and leads to unity absorption. The footprint of the proposed structure is

Published: November 2021

Massive usage scenarios prompt the prosperity of terahertz refractive index (THz RI) measurement methods. However, they are very difficult in measuring the full-field dynamical RI distributions of either solid samples without a priori thickness or liquid samples. In this study, we propose total internal reflection THz digital holography and apply it for measuring RI distributions for both solid and liquid samples dynamically. An RI measurement model is established based on an attenuated total reflection prism with a pitching angle. The pitching angle and the field of view can be numerically calculated from the spectrogram of the off-axis Fresnel hologram, which solves the adjustment of the visually opaque prism irradiated by the invisible THz beam. Full-field RI distributions of the droplets of solid-state soy wax and distilled water are obtained and compared with THz time-domain spectroscopy. The evaporation of an ethanol solution droplet is recorded, and the variation of the RI distribution at the sample–prism interface is quantitatively visualized with a temporal resolution of 10 Hz. The proposed method greatly expands the sample range for THz RI measurements and provides unprecedented insight into investigating spontaneous and dynamic THz phenomena.

Published: November 2021

Background
Somalia is considered severely underprepared to contain an outbreak of COVID-19, with critical shortages in healthcare personnel and treatment resources. In limited-resource settings such as Somalia, providing healthcare workers with adequate information on COVID-19 is crucial to improve patient outcomes and mitigate the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study assessed the knowledge of, preparedness for, and perceptions toward COVID-19 prevention and treatment among Somali healthcare workers.

Methods
A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was completed by 364 Somali healthcare workers in summer of 2020 utilizing a convenience sampling method.

Results
Participants’ most accessed sources of COVID-19 information were from social media (64.8%), official government and international health organization websites (51.1%,), and traditional media sources such as radio, TV, and newspapers (48.1%). A majority of participants demonstrated strong knowledge of treatment of COVID-19, the severity of COVID-19, and the possible outcomes of COVID-19, but only 5 out of 10 symptoms listed were correctly identified by more than 75% of participants. Although participants indicated seeing a median number of 10 patients per week with COVID-19 related symptoms, access to essential medical resources, such as N95 masks (30.2%), facial protective shields (24.5%), and disposable gowns (21.4%), were limited. Moreover, 31.3% agreed that Somalia was in a good position to contain an emerging outbreak of COVID-19. In addition, 40.4% of participants agreed that the Somali government’s response to the pandemic was sufficient to protect Somali healthcare professionals.

Conclusion
This study provides evidence for the need to equip Somali healthcare providers with more information, personal protective equipment, and treatment resources such that they can safely and adequately care for COVID-19 patients and contain the spread of the virus. Social media and traditional news outlets may be effective outlets to communicate information regarding COVID-19 and the Somali government’s response to frontline healthcare workers.

Purpose
To examine the usefulness of red channel fundus imaging to detect the ischemic status in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods
Ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus images were obtained from 42 eyes with CRVO. Twenty-one eyes were ischemic, and 21 eyes were non-ischemic. Rubeosis was found in 11 ischemic eyes. UWF images were split into red and green channels using ImageJ software. Both the color and red channel images were used to predict the presence or absence of ischemia when examined by masked graders. The sensitivity and specificity of UWF imagings for the detection of ischemia were calculated in Group A (total 42 eyes), Group B (32 eyes excluding non-rubeotic ischemic CRVO) and Group C (31 eyes excluding rubeotic ischemic CRVO), respectively. Moreover, a linear mixed model was conducted to investigate the relationship between the type of images and the accuracy of prediction in each group.

Results
No significant difference in the sensitivity of color fundus imaging was seen between Group A and Group B. By contrast, a significant difference in the sensitivity of red channel imaging was seen between Group A and Group B (p = 0.031). The accuracies of the predictions were not associated with the type of image in Group A and Group B, but were significantly associated in Group C (p = 0.026).

Conclusions
UWF red channel imaging enabled more accurate detection of the ischemic status, compared with color fundus images, especially in non-rubeotic CRVO eyes.

Published: November 2021

Background
Chronic kidney disease accelerates both atherosclerosis and arterial calcification. The aim of the present study was to explore whether maximal carotid plaque thickness (cPTmax) was increased in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to controls and associated with cardiovascular disease and severity of calcification in the carotid and coronary arteries.

Methods
The study group consisted of 200 patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 from the Copenhagen Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort and 121 age- and sex-matched controls. cPTmax was assessed by ultrasound and arterial calcification by computed tomography scanning.

Results
Carotid plaques were present in 58% of patients (n = 115) compared with 40% of controls (n = 48), p = 0.002. Among participants with plaques, cPTmax (median, interquartile range) was significantly higher in patients compared with controls (1.9 (1.4–2.3) versus 1.5 (1.2–1.8) mm), p = 0.001. Cardiovascular disease was present in 9% of patients without plaques (n = 85), 23% of patients with cPTmax 1.0–1.9 mm (n = 69) and 35% of patients with cPTmax >1.9 mm (n = 46), p = 0.001. Carotid and coronary calcium scores >400 were present in 0% and 4%, respectively, of patients with no carotid plaques, in 19% and 24% of patients with cPTmax 1.0–1.9 mm, and in 48% and 53% of patients with cPTmax >1.9 mm, p<0.001.

Conclusions
This is the first study showing that cPTmax is increased in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 compared to controls and closely associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease and severity of calcification in both the carotid and coronary arteries.
Extended bound states in the continuum in a one-dimensional grating implemented on a distributed Bragg reflector
Authors: Pruszyńska-Karbownik Emilia , Janczak Mikołaj , Czyszanowski Tomasz 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are observed in optical cavities composed of a high refractive index periodic structure embedded in significantly lower refractive index surroundings, enabling vertical confinement of the grating modes. Here, we propose a vertically nonsymmetric configuration, implemented on a high refractive index bulk substrate with a one-dimensional grating positioned on a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). In this configuration, the grating modes are leaky, which could prohibit the creation of a BIC if the grating was implemented on uniform substrate. However, the judiciously designed DBR on which the grating is implemented reflects nonzero diffraction orders induced by the grating. We found that the laterally antisymmetric optical modes located at the center of the Brillouin zone of this structure create BICs that are robust against changes in the grating parameters, as long as the DBR reflects the diffraction orders. The configuration enables a high degree of design freedom, facilitating the realization of very high quality factor cavities in conventional all-semiconductor technology.
Influence of Specimen Size on the Tear Strength of Fabrics by the Trapezoid Procedure

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Tear strength is an important fabric characteristic used to evaluate the serviceability of textile materials and their suitability for particular end uses such as protective clothing. In this study, the effect of test specimen size on tear strength was analyzed. The aim was to determine whether smaller specimens could be used to perform tear strength tests without significantly affecting the test results. The ASTM D5587-15, Standard Test Method for Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Trapezoid Procedure, was followed using the standard test specimen size and three smaller sizes. The geometrical characteristics, i.e., trapezoid angle, length of smaller base, and notch length, were unchanged in the smaller specimens, and only the tearing distance through the specimen became shorter as the specimen size was reduced. The test was performed on three fabrics with different structures: plain weave, ripstop, and ripstop with a laminated polymer membrane. Statistical analysis based on the analysis of variance and multiple comparison tests were used to interpret the data. For the plain weave, and ripstop fabrics tested in the warp direction, the results showed no difference in the mean tear strength between the standard-sized specimens and smaller specimens as long as the specimen size did not fall below 55 by 110 mm. Below this size, the distance over which the tear strength was measured became too short for enough high peaks to be recorded and used in calculating the average tearing strength of each specimen. For the laminated fabric tested in both the warp and weft directions, and for the plain weave and ripstop fabrics tested in the weft direction, there were no statistical differences in the mean tear strength between the four specimen sizes, including the smallest size (45 by 90 mm). These results support the use of smaller specimens to accurately determine the trapezoidal tear strength of fabrics when the amount of material available for testing is limited.
Adrenal wash-out CT: moderate diagnostic value in distinguishing benign from malignant adrenal masses
Authors: Schloetelburg Wiebke , Ebert Ines , Petritsch Bernhard , Weng Andreas Max , Dischinger Ulrich , Kircher Stefan , Buck Andreas Konrad , Bley Thorsten Alexander , Deutschbein Timo , Fassnacht Martin 
Published: November 2021

Objective
Reliable results of wash-out CT in the diagnostic workup of adrenal incidentalomas are scarce. Thus, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of delayed wash-out CT and determined thresholds to accurately differentiate adrenal masses.

Design
Retrospective, single-center cohort study including 216 patients with 252 adrenal lesions who underwent delayed wash-out CT. Definitive diagnoses based on histopathology (n = 92) or comprehensive follow-up.

Methods
Size, average attenuation values of the adrenal lesions in all CT scan phases, and absolute and relative percentage wash-out (APW/RPW) were determined by an expert radiologist blinded for clinical data. Adrenal lesions with unenhanced attenuation values >10 Hounsfield units (HU) built a subgroup (n = 142). Diagnostic accuracy was calculated.

Results
The study group consisted of 171 adenomas, 32 other benign tumors, 11 pheochromocytomas, 9 adrenocortical carcinomas, and 29 other malignant tumors. All (potentially) malignant and 46% of benign lesions showed unenhanced attenuation values >10 HU. In this most relevant subgroup, the established thresholds of 60% for APW and 40% for RPW misclassified 35.9 and 35.2% of the masses, respectively. When we applied optimized cutoffs (APW >83%; RPW >58%) and excluded pheochromocytomas, we missed only one malignant tumor by APW and none by RPW. However, only 11 and 15% of the benign tumors were correctly identified.

Conclusions
Wash-out CT with the established thresholds for APW and RPW is insufficient to reliably diagnose adrenal masses. Using the proposed cutoff of 58% for RPW, malignant tumors will be correctly identified, but the added value is limited, namely 15% of patients with benign tumors can be prevented from additional imaging or even unnecessary surgery.
Rapport de lecture. Écriture, abjection, beauté dans le Brodeck de Philippe Claudel
Authors: Ferraro Guido 
Published: November 2021

Cet article aborde des aspects de la structure générative d’un texte qui sont peu considérés par le modèle classique; parmi ceux-ci, la détermination de la ligne effective des successions dans l’arrangement sémantique, l’intégration du dispositif argumentatif et énonciatif, l’incidence de modèles culturels externes, la présence déterminante de niveaux narratifs virtuels. Je voudrais aussi souligner l’importance à accorder à l’expérience de lecture d’un roman, en relation également avec ce qui peut être considéré comme la valeur esthétique du texte.
On peut aussi montrer par cette voie comment, grâce à ce qu’on apprend par le contact avec les textes, la sémiotique peut croître, toujours en s’appuyant sur ses références fondamentales, mais en les enrichissant de plus grandes articulations et en y intégrant de nouveaux aspects. Le roman choisi pour l’analyse, Le Rapport de Brodeck de Philippe Claudel nous aide en ce sens : c’est un ouvrage qui, à la manière propre d’un texte littéraire et d’une expression narrative, réfléchit sur l’écriture, sur l’interaction avec le lecteur, sur les mécanismes du récit et sur la relation entre le récit d’invention, les modèles éthiques et le monde réel.
Numerical Simulation of Flood Routing using the Simplified Saint Venant Equations in Rectangular Channels
Authors: Sulistyono Bambang Agus 
Published: November 2021

Floods, which cause a lot of damage, are a natural phenomenon that often occurs during the rainy season. Flood occurs because the discharge entering the channel exceeds the channel capacity. If the discharge data in the upstream area that will enter the channel is known, we can determine the flow behavior in the downstream area using a mathematical model. In this study, we proposed using simplified Saint Venant equations to simulate the flow routing in a prismatic channel with a rectangular section. This model is solved numerically using the finite difference method. Here, the numerical scheme used succeeds in simulating the flow behavior in the channel due to the discharge entering it. The simulation results show that the discharge entering the channel will propagate downstream with decreasing discharge quantity. Information on the amount of discharge at locations along the channel is useful as supporting data for flood control and prevention systems that will be conveyed to residents along the channel.Keywords: flood routing; prismatic channel; Saint Venant Equations; finite difference method. AbstrakBanjir yang menimbulkan banyak kerusakan merupakan fenomena alam yang sering terjadi pada musim hujan. Banjir terjadi karena debit yang masuk ke dalam kanal melebihi kapasitas kanalnya. Jika data debit di daerah hulu yang akan masuk ke dalam kanal diketahui, maka kita dapat menentukan perilaku aliran di daerah hilir dengan menggunakan model matematika. Dalam studi ini, kami mengusulkan untuk menggunakan persamaan Saint Venant yang disederhanakan untuk mensimulasikan penelusuran aliran pada saluran prismatik dengan penampang persegi panjang. Model ini diselesaikan secara numerik dengan menggunakan metode beda hingga. Di sini, skema numerik yang digunakan berhasil mensimulasikan perilaku aliran pada saluran akibat debit yang masuk. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa debit yang masuk ke saluran akan merambat ke hilir dengan kuantitas debit yang semakin berkurang. Informasi jumlah debit di lokasi sepanjang saluran ini berguna sebagai data pendukung pada sistem pengendalian dan pencegahan banjir yang akan disampaikan kepada penduduk di sepanjang kanal.Kata kunci: penelusuran banjir; saluran prismatik; persamaan Saint Venant; metode beda hingga.
