Vâlâ Nureddin’s Comic Materialism and the Sexual Revolution: Writing across Turkey and the Soviet Union
Authors: Ertürk Nergis 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Focusing on the life and work of the Turkish novelist and translator Vâlâ Nureddin (1901–67), this article provides a historical overview of Turkish and Soviet literary entanglement in the early twentieth century. A collaborator of the globally acclaimed Turkish communist poet Nâzım Hikmet, Vâlâ was educated at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East from 1922 to 1924. Returning to Turkey in 1925, he launched his career in the daily Akşam (Evening), bringing Soviet and Turkish literature into conversation in his serialized translations and literary adaptations of Soviet erotic fiction. In reading Vâlâ’s neglected 1928 erotic historical comedy Baltacı ile Katerina (Baltacı and Catherine), unique among Vâlâ’s writings in its direct and explicit imagination and specification of an entangled revolution, this article suggests, by way of specific attention to this work’s comedic elements, that Vâlâ imagined the collapse of both Russian and Ottoman imperial sovereignty in terms of sexual revolution. It argues that a study of this unjustifiably neglected erotic comedy not only deepens our knowledge of early republican Turkish literature and culture, but provides a more nuanced understanding of the Moscow-centered transnational literary space produced in the aftermath of the Bolshevik revolution, or what scholars in Slavic studies have called the “Soviet republic of letters.”
Cross-Revolutionary Reading: Visions of Vietnam in the Transnational Arab Avant-Garde
Authors: Johnson Rebecca C. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis article looks at cross-revolutionary writing among Arab writers who, after the 1967 War, looked to Vietnam as an anti-imperialist revolutionary co-cause of the Palestinians and a possible alternative future of national liberation, and to Vietnamese literature as a parallel “literature of resistance.” Taking the Vietnam-Palestine comparison as a focal point, this article illuminates a transnational Arab network of avant-garde literary production that corresponded with, translated, and published each other’s work in Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and the United States. As such, rather than an example of direct South-South comparison, cross-revolutionary Arab writing via Vietnam triangulated its critiques through the United States and European leftist movements, producing a model of literary production and revolutionary vision that was distinct from and critical of those movements’ solidarity politics. Cross-revolutionary reading produced a distinct conception of literary commitment and a new aesthetic sensibility in Arabic literature, and provides a model of comparison that does not elide but circumscribes European and American literature within its visionary gaze.
Substantial impact of post-vaccination contacts on cumulative infections during viral epidemics
Authors: Rochman Nash , Wolf Yuri , V. Koonin Eugene 
Published: August 2021

Background: The start of 2021 was marked by the initiation of a global vaccination campaign against the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Formulating an optimal distribution strategy under social and economic constraints is challenging. Optimal distribution is additionally constrained by the potential emergence of vaccine resistance. Analogous to chronic low-dose antibiotic exposure, recently inoculated individuals who are not yet immune play an outsized role in the emergence of resistance. Classical epidemiological modelling is well suited to explore how the behavior of the inoculated population impacts the total number of infections over the entirety of an epidemic. Methods: A deterministic model of epidemic evolution is analyzed, with seven compartments defined by their relationship to the emergence of vaccine-resistant mutants and representing three susceptible populations, three infected populations, and one recovered population. This minimally computationally intensive design enables simulation of epidemics across a broad parameter space. The results are used to identify conditions minimizing the cumulative number of infections. Results: When an escape variant is only modestly less infectious than the originating strain within a naïve population, the cumulative number of infections does not monotonically decrease with the rate of vaccine distribution. Analysis of the model also demonstrates that inoculated individuals play a major role in the mitigation or exacerbation of vaccine-resistant outbreaks. Modulating the rate of host–host contact for the inoculated population by less than an order of magnitude can alter the cumulative number of infections by more than 20%. Conclusions: Mathematical modeling shows that limiting post-vaccination contacts can perceptibly affect the course of an epidemic. The consideration of limitations on post-vaccination contacts remains relevant for the entire duration of any vaccination campaign including the current status of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Firearm-related mortality is not frequently encountered in a country like Nepal where there are stringent laws prohibiting the buying, selling, carrying or storing of firearms. To possess a firearm a person must have a valid license. Wounds produced by firearms have typical characteristics the knowledge of which helps to identify the type of firearm used, range of fire, the position of the victim, and whether the manner of death was homicidal, suicidal, or accidental. The present case is the first autopsy-based study from Nepal which discusses the wounds produced by firearms with an interpretation of such findings for medicolegal purposes. The present case highlights a social problem where the victim, a psychiatric patient, had no access to prescription medication due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) related lockdown.

Published: August 2021

Background: Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) requires increased domestic financing of health by low-income countries (LICs) and middle-income countries (MICs). It is critical to understand how much governments have devoted to health from domestic sources and how much growth might be realistic over time. Methods: Using data from WHO’s Global Health Expenditure Database, we examined how the composition of current health expenditure changed by financing source and the sources of growth in health expenditures from 2000-2015 across different income groups. We disaggregated how much growth in government expenditures on health from domestic sources was due to economic growth, growth in government spending as a share of GDP, and reallocations in government expenditures towards health. Results: Lower MICs (LMICs) and upper MICs (UMICs), as a group, saw a significant reduction in out-of-pocket expenditures and a significant growth in government expenditures on health from domestic sources as a share of current health expenditures over the period. This trend indicates likely progress in the pathway to UHC. For LICs, these trends were more muted. Growth in government expenditure on health from domestic sources was driven primarily by economic growth in LICs, LMICs, and UMICs. Growth in government expenditure on health due to increased government spending as a share of GDP was high in UMICs. For the high-income country group, where economic growth was relatively slower and government spending was already high with strong tax bases, the largest driver of growth in government expenditure on health from domestic sources was reallocation of the government budget towards health. Conclusions: Dialogue on domestic resource mobilization needs to emphasize overall economic growth and growth in the government spending as a share of GDP as well as the share of health in the government budget.

Published: August 2021

Background: Hip fracture is experienced by almost 3,500 older people in Ireland annually. The Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD), which drives clinical improvements in acute hospitals, aims to allow recording of longer-term outcomes. Feasible and robust methods of data collection need to be identified to inform this activity. The aim of this systematic review is to identify, describe and appraise studies that have collected long-term outcomes after hip fracture in Ireland in the last 15 years and to generate pooled estimates of outcomes if appropriate. Methods: A search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL) and grey literature sources will be conducted for journal articles, conference abstracts, academic theses, and reports. Search terms related to hip fracture and Ireland will be included for most sources. The search will be supplemented by email contact with relevant professionals. Observational and interventional studies published between 2005 and 2021 will be included if outcome data were collected in the Republic of Ireland in patients with hip fracture. Outcomes of interest will include data collected after discharge from an inpatient setting or at a fixed time-point greater than 30 days after fracture, hospital admission or surgery. Information relating to study characteristics, description of researchers, data collection methods, patient characteristics and long-term outcomes will be extracted from each study and summarised in tables. Studies will be assessed for risk of bias by two review authors. Where outcomes are sufficiently homogeneous, meta-analyses of estimates will be conducted. Conclusion: Results from this study will inform the planning of further qualitative research to explore barriers and facilitators of long-term outcome collection in Ireland. It will form the basis of education and training for future data collectors in this setting.

Abstract. Laatung S, Fuah AM, Masy’ud B, Sumantri C, Salundik. 2021. Species of white-tailed forest rats hunted and traded, their conservation status and habitat characteristics, in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 2778-2784. The tradition of hunting and trading white-tailed forest rats, especially in North Sulawesi, has been practiced for generations. This poses a threat to the existence of these animals in their natural habitat leading to the extinction of some hunted species. In the past, studies on white-tailed rats being hunted and traded on Sulawesi is still lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the species of white-tailed forest rats hunted and traded, their conservation status and habitat characteristics in North Sulawesi. This study was conducted in April to June 2018 in Minahasa and Bolaang Mongondow District, North Sulawesi. The survey methods used involved visiting hunters, recording and taking pictures of the species of rats being hunted and traded. All samples of white-tailed rats were identified in the Zoological Laboratory, Indonesian Institute of Sciences Cibinong Bogor, West Java. Furthermore, ascertaining the general characteristics of the habitat was carried out using a general survey in locations known as distribution areas in North Sulawesi. The identification of 125 individuals consists of 8 species of white-tailed forest rats from 7 genera, which are commonly hunted. They include Rattus xanthurus (Gray, 1867), Bunomy fratrorum (Thomas, 1896), Lenomys meyeri (Jentink, 1879), Paruromys dominator (Thomas, 1921), Echiotrix leucura (Gray, 1879), Taeromys taerae (Sody, 1932), Maxomys hellwaldi (Jentink, 1879) and Maxomys musschenbrooki (Jentink, 1878). Four out of the eight species of white-tailed forest rats are protected species according to the IUCN Redlist. The white-tailed forest rats identified in this study, were caught in secondary forest and plantation, ranging from an altitude of 500 - 1.500 meters above sea level. Their main sources of feed include Areca catechu, Piper aduncum, Ficus spp., and Arenga piñnata.

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) multispectral microscopy, especially operating at the wavelength of 5–11 µm, is an effective tool for detecting, identifying, and quantifying the structure and composition of biological tissues. Compared with that based on the optical lens, the mid-infrared microscope composed of off-axis parabolic (OAP) mirrors is low cost, simple, and suitable for longer range of wavelength without chromatic aberrations, while keeping the optical transmission efficiency. Here we report a compact and versatile mid-infrared multispectral confocal microscope based on off-axis parabolic mirrors. We also perform numerical calculations based on the vectorial diffraction theory on OAP mirrors and analyze the typical aberrations and misalignment of the OAP-based optical system. Finally, we perform multispectral imaging of the epiretinal membrane of the human eyes with the spectrum selected according to its resonance absorption peak. The system is designed to perform multispectral or even hyperspectral imaging to identify and predict potential disease.

Interferometers are essential elements in classical and quantum optical systems. The strictly required stability when extracting the phase of photons is vulnerable to polarization variation and phase shift induced by environment disturbance. Here, we implement polarization-insensitive interferometers by combining silica planar light-wave circuit chips and Faraday rotator mirrors. Two asymmetric interferometers with temperature controllers are connected in series to evaluate the single-photon interference. Average interference visibility over 12 h is above 99%, and the variations are less than 0.5%, even with active random polarization disturbance. The experiment results verify that the hybrid chip is available for high-demand applications like quantum key distribution and entanglement measurement.

ZusammenfassungDigital Government eröffnet Möglichkeiten, Verwaltungs- und Regierungsprozesse kritisch zu reflektieren und sie entsprechend neu zu denken. Oblagen Bürgerbeteiligungsprozesse in der Vergangenheit zahlreichen Hürden, bietet die e‑Partizipation Möglichkeiten, sie mit modernen Technologien zu verbinden, die eine niedrigschwellige Teilhabe ermöglichen. In dem Forschungsprojekt Take Part, gefördert durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, werden innovative Formen der Beteiligung von Bürger:innen in der Stadt- und Bauplanung mithilfe von Augmented und Virtual Reality (AR und VR) erforscht. Dabei geht es vor allem darum, neue Anreize zu schaffen, Bürger:innen zur Beteiligung zu motivieren und durch diese das Konfliktpotential um Bauprojekte zu reduzieren. Mithilfe der innerhalb von Take Part entwickelten App können Bürger:innen Bauvorhaben diskutieren, Feedback geben oder über sie abstimmen, während sie dabei den Beteiligungsgegenstand anschaulich in AR und VR präsentiert bekommen. Zugleich können auch Initiator:innen mithilfe eines Partizipationsökosystems die Beteiligung im jeweiligen Bauvorhaben konfigurieren, indem sie sowohl vorhandene Module kombinieren und konfigurieren, als auch passende Dienstleistungen, wie beispielsweise 3D-Modellierungen, einkaufen. In diesem Beitrag sollen die konkreten technologischen Entwicklungen (u. a. Outdoor-AR-Tracking und räumlich verankerte Diskussionen), sowie das Partizipationsökosystem (Dienstentwicklungs- und Ausführungsplattform) vorgestellt werden. Erstmalig soll so der entwickelte Prototyp umfassend dargestellt werden. Auf die Herausforderung, eine e‑Partizipations-App zu entwickeln, die die Möglichkeit bietet, verschiedene Interaktionskonzepte ineinander zu integrieren und gleichzeitig eine überzeugende User-Experience bietet, soll ebenfalls eingegangen werden. Anschließend wird das Potenzial einer solchen Lösung für die digitale Mitbestimmung in lokaler Verwaltung vor allem in Bezug auf gesteigerte Vorstellungskraft und Motivation zur Teilhabe für Nutzer:innen diskutiert und in den Kontext der Covid-19 Pandemie gesetzt.
Neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio correlation to procalcitonin and PELOD-2 score in pediatric sepsis
Authors: Yudhantari Desak Gede Arie , Somasetia Dadang Hudaya , Fadlyana Eddy , Setiabudi Djatnika 
Published: August 2021

Background Sepsis is a leading cause of children’s mortality worldwide. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a widely used infection marker, but has limitations in terms of cost and availability. The neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) is easy to perform, low-cost, and widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of various inflammatory processes.
Objective To investigate possible correlations of NLCR to PCT and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score among pediatric sepsis patients.
Method A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the Pediatric Sepsis Registry at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, West Java, from January 2019–June 2020. We recorded patients’ characteristics, PELOD-2 score, NLCR, and PCT results. Correlation analysis was conducted using Spearman’s Rank test with significance value of P<0.05.
Results Ninety patients were included in the study. Most patients were male (56.7%), under 2 years of age (57.8%), and had lower respiratory tract infection (67.8%) as the most common source of infection. The NLCR value had significant, positive correlations to PCT (r=0.642; P<0.001) and PELOD-2 score (r=0.233; P=0.027) in pediatric sepsis patients.
Conclusion The NLCR is directly proportional to PCT in pediatric sepsis patients. This result suggents that NLCR may have a potential role as an alternative marker for sepsis in emergency setting.

Weldability and machinability of the dissimilar joints of Ti alloy and stainless steel – A review
Authors: Zhang Yan , Bi YuanBo , Zhou JianPing , Sun DaQian , Li HongMei 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
As two important industrial manufacturing materials, titanium alloys and stainless steel have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. The field of materials manufacturing has witnessed efforts to develop technical processes that can properly combine these two alloy types, aiming to effectively use their respective advantages. The welding technology for Ti alloy and stainless steel, as a research topic with broad prospects, is comprehensively and deeply analyzed in this review. The current research progress in this field was analyzed from different process perspectives such as fusion welding, brazing, diffusion welding, friction welding, explosive welding and vacuum hot-rolling welding. The results of the review showed that the greatest challenges of fusion welding are low ductility of the material, high residual stress, high cooling rate, and the formation of numerous brittle Ti-Fe intermetallics. By using appropriate intermediate materials between these two materials, the residual stress and brittle intermetallics near the interface of the transition joint can be minimised by solving the thermal expansion mismatch, reducing the bonding temperature and pressure, and suppressing the diffusion of elements such as Ti and Fe.
Relaciones económicas sino-latinoamericanas: El rol de la inversión para el crecimiento económico en China y en América Latina, 1991–2019
Authors: Quiero Aguirre Francisco 
Published: August 2021

Resumen
Este artículo demuestra la existencia de rendimientos constantes de escala para la inversión en China y de rendimientos crecientes de escala para América Latina por Unidad Efectiva de Trabajo entre los años 1991–2019. Dichos rendimientos, en el caso de China, han creado un excedente que puede ser usado de la forma más eficiente en la Inversión Extranjera Directa en América Latina. Por el contrario, la ausencia de inversiones hace que Latinoamérica DEPENDA de esta para poder crecer. Para fundamentar nuestro argumento usamos el modelo de Solow, modelo que asume rendimientos constantes de escala de los factores productivos y que define los niveles de ahorro y desarrollo tecnológicos como exógenos al modelo. El modelo fue aplicado a dos series de tiempo: 1978–2019 para estudiar la economía china y 1991–2019 para el caso de América Latina. Se empleó además una regresión lineal multifactorial para ambos casos entre los años 1991–2019. Los resultados muestran por un lado la importancia de la inversión por Unidad Efectiva de Trabajo en ambos países, y por el otro lo mucho que pueden beneficiarse ambas partes de la exportación del excedente de inversiones desde China hacia América Latina.
