BackgroundNew York City and Long Island, NY were early foci of the COVID-19 epidemic in the US. The effects of COVID-19 on different sub-populations, and its key epidemiologic parameters remain unknown or highly uncertain. We investigated the epidemiology of COVID-19 from January to August of 2020 in an established academic monitoring cohort of N = 9,697 middle-aged World Trade Center responders residing in Long Island, NY.MethodsA seroprevalence survey and a series of cross-sectional surveys were nested in a prospective cohort study. Measures included IgG antibody testing, SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, review of electronic medical records, and surveys of symptoms. Correlates of infection were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression.ResultsThe cohort was predominantly men in their mid-fifties; 6,597 cohort members were successfully contacted (68%); 1,042 (11%) individuals participated in the seroprevalence survey; and 369 individuals (5.6% of 6,597 study participants) underwent PCR testing. The estimated standardized cumulative incidence was 21.9% (95%CI: 20.1–23.9%), the asymptomatic proportion was 16.4% (36/219; 95%CI: 11.8–22.0%), the case hospitalization ratio was 9.4% (36/385; 95%CI: 6.6–12.7%), the case fatality ratio was 1.8% (7/385; 95%CI: 0.7–3.7%), and the hospitalization fatality ratio was 8.3% (3/36; 95%CI: 1.8–22.5%). Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with younger age, race/ethnicity, and being currently employed.ConclusionsThe results of the present study suggest a high cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 among WTC responders in the spring and summer of 2020 and contribute to narrowing the plausible range of the proportion of infections that exhibit no symptoms. An increased risk of infection among younger employed individuals is likely to reflect a higher probability of exposure to the virus, and the racial disparities in the infection risk warrant further investigation.

BackgroundThe relationship between severe anemia, red blood cell transfusion and Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of severe anemia and RBC transfusion with NEC in neonates.MethodsThe clinical characteristics of NEC were observed in 467 infants with different birth weights from January 2012 to July 2020. A 1:1 ratio case-control study was performed in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Severe anemia, RBC transfusion, and confounding factors, including maternal and perinatal complications, feeding, and antibiotics administration were collected in both groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to investigate effects on the risk of NEC.ResultsThe day of NEC onset and mortality were inversely associated with birth weight. In VLBW infants, adjusting for other factors, severe anemia within 72 h [OR = 2.404, P = 0.016], RBC transfusion within 24 h [OR = 4.905, P = 0.016], within 48 h [OR = 5.587, P = 0.008], and within 72 h [OR = 2.858, P = 0.011] increased the risk of NEC.ConclusionBoth severe anemia and RBC transfusion appears to increase the risk of NEC in VLBW infants. The early prevention and treatment of anemia, strict evaluation of the indications for transfusion and enhanced monitoring after transfusion is encouraged in the NICU.

Tofacitinib-Associated Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis
Authors: Hakma Zakaria , Gofman Natalie , Brown Danielle , Fitzgerald Ethan 
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT
Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor indicated to treat adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Although thrombosis is a known adverse event of tofacitinib, there are no reports specific to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). We present a report of a patient presenting with a CVST several months after starting tofacitinib. Initially, this 60-year-old man with poorly controlled UC who previously had a nonthrombotic hemorrhage was found to have venous sinus thromboses of the right transverse and sigmoid sinuses. Hematological workup did not reveal any underlying hypercoagulable conditions, aside from UC. This is the first report of a patient with CVST likely resulting from the Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib. This case report should prompt compilation of all thrombotic events in patients receiving tofacitinib.

Human societies have always a golden sign to show the noticeable spectacles of coexistence with their environments, precisely the impact of plants in every phases of their life. Several qualitative as well as quantitative approaches are taken into account to emphasize the effective integration of plants into a medical system. Therefore this experiment was designed to standardize and evaluate the health of active plant-extract and their dynamic use in healthcare system to open a new era in drug designing. In order to maintain this knowledge, plant extract of ginger and garlic from native and hybrid source were chosen (July 2018 to July 2019 from different zone of Bangladesh) in this experiment and sensitivity pattern of these extracts against two enteric disease causing organisms Bacillus cereus and Vibrio cholerae were conducted to investigate the role of these natural sources as medicinal plants. To compare the authenticity and efficacy of the plant extracts, selected strains were also challenged with conventional antibiotics. Finally, the results portrayed that the ethanoic and methanoic extract of both native garlic and ginger extracts showed more prominent sensitivity towards the gram negative organisms as compared to the foreign plants of same genera.
Quarantine, Contact Tracing, and Testing: Implications of an Augmented SEIR Model
Authors: Hornstein Andreas 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
I incorporate quarantine, contact tracing, and random testing in the basic SEIR model of infectious disease diffusion. A version of the model that is calibrated to known characteristics of the spread of COVID-19 is used to estimate the transmission rate of COVID-19 in the United States in 2020. The transmission rate is then decomposed into a part that reflects observable changes in employment and social contacts, and a residual component that reflects disease properties and all other factors that affect the spread of the disease. I then construct counterfactuals for an alternative employment path that avoids the sharp employment decline in the second quarter of 2020, but also results in higher cumulative deaths due to a higher contact rate. For the simulations a modest permanent increase of quarantine effectiveness counteracts the increase in deaths, and the introduction of contact tracing and random testing further reduces deaths, although at a diminishing rate. Using a conservative assumption on the statistical value of life, the value of improved health outcomes from the alternative policies far outweighs the economic gains in terms of increased output and the potential fiscal costs of these policies.

Abstract
Remote sensing (RS) water depth inversion is an important technology and the method of water depth measurement. Taking the waters around the islands outside the Pearl River Estuary as an example, five optical RS depth inversion algorithms were introduced. Then, five water depth inversion models were trained through the HJ-1B satellite RS image and the measured water depth data. The results show that the mean absolute error (MAE) of the deep learning model was the smallest (2.350 m), and that the distribution of predicted water depth points was closest to the actual value. Deep learning has been widely used in RS image classification and recognition and shows its advantages. Therefore, the deep learning model was applied to extract the depth of the shallow water. Meanwhile, the obtained inversion effect map is closest to the actual contour map. The water depth inversion performance of back propagation neural network model is better than that of the radial basis function (RBF) neural network model. Besides, the inversion accuracy of the RBF neural network may be affected due to the small amount of data and the improper number of hidden neurons. The results show broad application prospects of machine learning algorithms in RS water depth inversion. Also, this study provided data support for model optimization, training, and parameter setting.
Can pulse wave velocity (PWV) alone express arterial stiffness? A neglected tool for vascular function assessment

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Arterial stiffness, defined as the rigidity of the arterial wall, is the consequence of vascular aging and is associated with the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is the gold standard method for arterial stiffness evaluation: it measures the velocity of the arterial pulse along the thoracic and abdominal aorta alongside arterial distensibility. Its value rises as stiffness progresses. Cf-PWV is helpful to assess residual cardiovascular risk (CVR) in hypertension (HT). In fact, an increase in pulsatility and arterial stiffness predicts CVR in patients affected by arterial HT, independently of other risk factors. Arterial stiffness can predict cardiovascular events in several other clinical conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, and pulmonary HT. However, cf-PWV has not been yet included in routine clinical practice so far. A possible reason might be its methodological and theoretical limitations (inaccuracy in the traveled distance, intra and interindividual variability, lack of well-defined references values, and age- and blood pressure-independent cutoff). To exceed these limits a strict adherence to guidelines, use of analytical approaches, and possibility of integrating the results with other stiffness examinations are essential approaches.
The Role of Internal Irreversibilities in the Performance and Stability of Power Plant Models Working at Maximum ϵ-Ecological Function
Authors: Valencia-Ortega Gabriel , Levario-Medina Sergio , Barranco-Jiménez Marco Antonio 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The proposal of models that account for the irreversibilities within the core engine has been the topic of interest to quantify the useful energy available during its conversion. In this work, we analyze the energetic optimization and stability (local and global) of three power plants, nuclear, combined-cycle, and simple-cycle ones, by means of the Curzon–Ahlborn heat engine model which considers a linear heat transfer law. The internal irreversibilities of the working fluid measured through the r-parameter are associated with the so-called “uncompensated Clausius heat.” In addition, the generalization of the ecological function is used to find operating conditions in three different zones, which allows to carry out a numerical analysis focused on the stability of power plants in each operation zone. We noted that not all power plants reveal stability in all the operation zones when irreversibilities are considered through the r-parameter on real-world power plants. However, an improved stability is shown in the zone limited by the maximum power output and maximum efficiency regimes.
Reflecting on the quantitative turn in linguistics
Authors: Kortmann Bernd 
Published: July 2021

AbstractLinguistics, English linguistics in particular, has witnessed a remarkable quantitative turn since the 1990s and the early 2000s. It was a turn both in scale and in quality, a turn concerning the degree (including the degree of sophistication) to which quantitative empirical studies, statistical techniques, and statistical modelling have come to be used and determine linguistic research. Which role have corpus linguistics and probabilistic linguistics, including usage-based approaches, played in this development? Has this turn been to the detriment of qualitative methods, or even of linguistic theorizing in general? Has linguistics reached the point of a “quantitative crisis”, or is it still a discipline characterized by a healthy equilibrium, if not mutual reinforcement, of quantitative and qualitative approaches? What are, or should be, major repercussions of the strong quantitative turn for the publication system of (English) linguistics? These are the major overarching questions underlying the reflections offered in this opinion paper.
Polarization-dependent mode coupling in hyperbolic nanospheres

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Hyperbolic materials offer much wider freedom in designing optical properties of nanostructures than ones with isotropic and elliptical dispersion, both metallic or dielectric. Here, we present a detailed theoretical and numerical study on the unique optical properties of spherical nanoantennas composed of such materials. Hyperbolic nanospheres exhibit a rich modal structure that, depending on the polarization and direction of incident light, can exhibit either a full plasmonic-like response with multiple electric resonances, a single, dominant electric dipole or one with mixed magnetic and electric modes with an atypical reversed modal order. We derive conditions for observing these resonances in the dipolar approximation and offer insight into how the modal response evolves with the size, material composition, and illumination. Specifically, the origin of the magnetic dipole mode lies in the hyperbolic dispersion and its existence is determined by two diagonal permittivity components of different sign. Our analysis shows that the origin of this unusual behavior stems from complex coupling between electric and magnetic multipoles, which leads to very strong scattering or absorbing modes. These observations assert that hyperbolic nanoantennas offer a promising route towards novel light–matter interaction regimes.
Romani catching up in East-Central Europe: Alternative strategies
Authors: Katalin Forray R. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractAccording to our initial assumption, there would be two characteristic strategies for Romani catching up. One strategy is to lift the Romanies out of poverty and bring their living conditions closer to the average living conditions of the majority society. According to the other strategy, Romanies create a national minority in the majority society. It should be supported so that the members of the community could preserve their national characteristics and exercise their minority rights. By reviewing the literature (e.g., Armillei 2014; Boscoboinik & Giordano 2008; Ladányi & Szelényi 2016) we searched in which country which strategies are being followed by current governments. The result is that these strategies coexist within a country and are increasingly intermingled according to existing governments. The reason for this phenomenon is the recent changes in Romani societies and the emergence of new middle classes. There are both economic and cultural conditions for emerging these middle classes. A successful Romani strategy has to contain therefore, both economic and cultural actions. The governments of the region must contribute not only to the catching-up of the Romanies but also to the formation of their Romani middle classes.
Productivity index of horizontal well in Mishrif formation of Buzurgan oil field – Case study
Authors: Jreou Ghazwan N S 
Published: July 2021

AbstractHorizontal good technology is one of the recent methods in the drilling and exploitation of geological formations in the best and optimal ways, because of the many and comprehensive advantages that these wells enjoy with the most important measurement and prediction index called productivity index. Which is equivalent to several times higher than the vertical well productivity index, if the field is invested by drilling vertical wells only.The current research focuses on calculating the productivity index by proposing the development point of view of the reservoir formation in the Burgan oil field through the production of oil from the production units approved in the formation (MB21, MC1, MC2) by using of horizontal good technology and comparing it with the value of the productivity index of vertical wells in the same production units.Well-known published methods adopted in the case of steady state and pseudo steady state were used in the calculations of the productivity index, and by comparison with the standard observed results, it was found that the Joshi method was closer than others in the calculations of the productivity index for both steady and pseudo steady state cases. Then the calculations were completed taking into account all conditions and factors that have a significant role in the value of the calculated productivity index.The obtained results revealed that PI increases with [well length, isotropy ratio (Kv/Kh), well thickness vs. well length] increase, while it was decreased with [ drainage area] increase in the case of steady state conditions. Also, the PI increase with length increase in the case of Pseudo steady state condition for all the studied methods, and both of Kuchuck and Economides methods seem to be close in obtained results, but Economides is the closest one to the reality and importance in application with the present case. Completion configuration has an effluence on the PI, and it is increasing with the increase of well opening to the production for such well length.Also, all the results indicated that the use of this type of technology in the field development is good and promising, and gave valuable, excellent, and optimistic results for the future production of the field in a profitable manner.
Medical translation: a mapping of Brazilian dissertations and thesis written between 2002 - 2018
Authors: Ferreira Fábio Luiz , Malta Gleiton 
Published: July 2021

This is a bibliometric mapping of studies conducted on medical translation in Brazil. The primary objective is to map master’s, doctoral, and post-doctoral studies from 2002 to 2018, identifying the topics covered, the institutions, and the geographic regions in which they were carried out. The significance of the present study lies in the fact that it indicates regions and institutions, where research on medical translation is conducted, and reveals the regions in which this type of study is scarce. In both cases, the mapping can serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in this area of knowledge. In addition, the mapping can offer input for the implementation of public policies that encourage the development of studies in the area. Data were collected in three digital platforms, namely Domínio Público, Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações, and Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, by means of typing different keywords in Portuguese, in the search windows available. Of the 14 studies found, 28.6% were doctoral dissertations and 71.4% were master’s theses. All of the studies were conducted in the southeastern and southern regions of Brazil. Cardiology and general biomedicine were the most frequent topics followed by anesthesiology, orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, arterial hypertension, physiology, geriatrics, gerontology, nutrition, and pharmacy.
Tradiciones orales en torno a los duendes y otros seres sobrenaturales asociados al agua en la región sur de Jalisco (México)
Authors: Bañuelos Aquino Víctor Manuel 
Published: July 2021

En la región sur del estado de Jalisco, México, está el pueblo de Tepec, en el que existen diversas tradiciones en torno a los duendes y otras entidades sobrenaturales. Tomando en cuenta dos relatos dados por narradores del lugar, nos podemos percatar del tipo de representaciones que en este poblado se hace de estos seres del imaginario: por un lado, como entidades que se roban a los niños; y por el otro, como espíritus del agua.
En este ejercicio analítico se hará una muestra de la manera en que son representados los duendes en esta región de Jalisco, y también se hará un trabajo comparativo, tomando en cuenta otras formas en las que se les ha representado en otras regiones del país, con la finalidad de encontrar puntos de similitud y diferencia que nos muestren las características más particulares de estas entidades.
