Language Antinomies Concerning Spelling of Short Forms of Verbal Adjectives with н or нн
Authors: Beshcenkova Elena V. 
Published: September 2021

According to the Russian orthography, the spelling of short forms of verbal words in -нный with н (n) or with нн (nn) before a non-zero ending depends on the grammatical status of the word: participle or adjective. It is believed that writing expresses a systemic opposition of grammatical categories, i.e. the reflective vector of the antinomy “reflective – conditional” operates in this area. But is it possible to check whether the antinomy was chosen correctly to describe a particular picture of the studied area of writing? Are there any distinctive features of the types of spellings obtained as a result of the action of one or another antinomy? We attempt to answer the latter using the example of the spelling of short verbal adjectives. Proceeding from the fact that short forms of participles are always written with only one letter н, and short forms of adjectives with a non-zero ending are threefold: either with нн, or with н, or both with н and with нн, depending on the meaning and / or model management, — we will evaluate the quantitative ratio of these groups, how they are recorded in different dictionaries, compare the codification and the usual norm, as reflected in the texts of the RNC resources and Google books, we will determine what is being implemented in writing steadily and what is not. Based on the results obtained, one can try to understand whether the letter regularly reflects precisely the grammatical opposition.
Coercing the Delta. The French Grammar of Control in the African Landscape of Colonial Louisiana, 1699-1732
Authors: Paskert Nicholas 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The long-term transformation of the Louisiana delta beginning in 1699 has been primarily understood as a French colonial struggle for the control of nature. Yet, in order for French colonisers to control nature, they first sought to control enslaved Africans. While slave coercion was a daily problem for French inhabitants, documentation of the 'routinized violence' of chattel slavery is predictably absent in records of the built environment. As a result, the building of colonial New Orleans, beginning in 1718, has become a story of French design, not of enslaved African labour. This paper examines the accounts and correspondence of French colonisers who veiled their own dependence on indigenous, indentured and enslaved people by adopting a performative language of mastery as they projected or described labour projects essential to the 'control of nature'. What colonisers could not master in person they performed on paper via pronouns, tenses, constructions and the passive voice. The 'French' Louisiana delta is better understood as an African-built landscape reinscribed on Indigenous territory under French coercion.
A Visit to Rusty Ships. Tourism as a Strategy of Rejuvenating Shrinking Towns in Coastal Areas
Authors: Jarosz Katarzyna , Tricoire Hanna Daria 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to analyse, whether and to what degree that tourism is a way of rejuvenating shrinking cities located on the coast. The research is based on three cities, and the adjacent regions, located in Uzbekistan (Mo'noq), Romania (Sulina) and Georgia-Abkhazia (Sukhumi). Tourist attractions connected with nature, culture, history and cuisine are examined, along with the land use and tourist infrastructure. The research indicates that the three sites have great tourism potential, with a focus on nature-oriented tourism. It also suggests that infrastructure, transport, access to information and land use can have a strong, positive or negative impact on tourism attractiveness. Additionally, the threats that uncontrolled tourism can bring are considered - it has been shown that unsustainable tourism and an excessive influx of tourists are threats to the environment and to local societies. A balance between economic and environmental value should therefore be maintained in the process of developing tourism.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Adverse events in hospitals may jeopardize the safety of patients. Failure in professional autonomy, organizational learning or in the contact between these two factors may explain the occurrence of injurious incidents in hospitals. OBJECTIVE: To study reasons for failure in contact between professional autonomy and organizational learning in resilient management of specialized health care through document analysis. METHODS: A total of 20 reports from the Norwegian Board of Health Supervision were evaluated by a retrospective in-depth document analysis. In the analysis of adverse events, we applied the Braut model to identify function or failure of 1. Professional autonomy, 2. Organizational learning and 3. Contact between professional autonomy and organizational learning. RESULTS: Multivariable regression analysis showed that failure in organizational learning was the only explanatory variable for failure in contact between doctors and nurses autonomy and organizational learning. Failure in organizational learning had the strongest effect on failure in contact between doctors and nurse’s autonomy and organizational learning ( B = 1.69; 95% CI = 0.45 to 2.92). Failure in professional autonomy showed no significant effect on this contact. CONCLUSIONS: Failure in organizational learning is associated with failure in contact between professional autonomy and organizational learning. Failure in professional autonomy did not influence this contact.
Dual-energy CT imaging over non-overlapping, orthogonal arcs of limited-angular ranges
Authors: Chen Buxin , Zhang Zheng , Xia Dan , Sidky Emil Y. , Pan Xiaochuan 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Interest exists in dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging with scanning arcs of limited-angular ranges (LARs) for reducing scan time and radiation dose, and for enabling scan configurations of C-arm CT that can avoid possible collision between the rotating X-ray tube/detector and the imaged subject. OBJECTIVE: In this work, we investigate image reconstruction for a type of configurations of practical DECT interest, referred to as the two-orthogonal-arc configuration, in which low- and high-kVp data are collected over two non-overlapping arcs of equal LAR α, ranging from 30° to 90°, separated by 90°. The configuration can readily be implemented, e.g., on CT with dual sources separated by 90° or with the slow-kVp-switching technique. METHODS: The directional-total-variation (DTV) algorithm developed previously for image reconstruction in conventional, single-energy CT is tailored to enable image reconstruction in DECT with two-orthogonal-arc configurations. RESULTS: Performing visual inspection and quantitative analysis of monochromatic images obtained and effective atomic numbers estimated, we observe that the monochromatic images of the DTV algorithm from LAR data are with substantially reduced LAR artifacts, which are observed otherwise in those of existing algorithms, and thus visually correlate reasonably well, in terms of metrics PCC and nMI, with their reference images obtained from full-angular-range data. In addition, effective atomic numbers estimated from LAR data of DECT with two-orthogonal-arc configurations are in reasonable agreement, with relative errors up to ∼  10%, with those estimated from full-angular-range data in DECT. CONCLUSIONS: The results acquired in the work may yield insights into the design of LAR configurations of practical dual-energy application relevance in diagnostic CT or C-arm CT imaging.

Published: September 2021

Background: Malnutrition is a major global health problem, with the major burden being in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Afric. The study was undertaken to determine the frequency of hyponatremia an hypokalemia in malnourished children with acute diarrhea.
Methods: Hospital based prospective study was conducted on 100 children between the age group of 6months to 5years presenting with acute diarrhea was include in the study.
Results: Hyponatremia was observed in total 15 (15.00%) cases of diarrhea. Regarding the grade of malnutrition, hyponatremia was observed in only 4.44% in grade 1, 8.69% in grade, 41.67% in grade 3 and 60.00% in grade 4 malnutrition respectively. Hypokalemia was noticed in 10.00% cases (10 out of 100) with acute diarrhea. The frequency of hypokalemia was 4.44% in grade 1, 8.69% in grade 2, 25.00% in grade 3 and 40.00% in grade 4 malnutrition respectively.
Conclusion: Electrolyte disturbances are often subclinical in malnourished children, but become obvious during the episode of acute diarrhoeal disease. Hence serum electrolytes of every malnourished child with acute diarrhoea should be estimated in order to do immediate correction and avoid serious life-threatening outcome.

Published: September 2021

Background: Osteoporosis prevention at young ages is crucial to diminish the risk of the disease and its complication in later years of life. Having good osteoporosis knowledge and positive health belief may lead to better preventive behavior which then contributes to build and maintain bone health throughout life.
Objective: To investigate knowledge, health belief, and behavior of osteoporosis prevention among female healthcare students.
Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a public medical university in Da Nang of Vietnam. Four hundred participants were selected by applying the multistage sampling technique. Data were collected from May 2020 to June 2020 through the questionnaire that consists of 4 parts including the demographic data form, the osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool, the osteoporosis health belief scale, and the exercise and calcium behaviors scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test.
Results: Participants had poor osteoporosis knowledge (mean [SD], 37.8 [16.0]; range, 0 - 75) and low preventive behavior (mean [SD], 5.7 [3.5]; range, 0 - 25). Osteoporosis health belief was found at a moderate level with a mean (SD) of 126.7 (12.9) (range, 84 - 187). There were positive significant correlations between knowledge and health belief, knowledge and behavior of osteoporosis prevention (P < .05).
Conclusions: Osteoporosis preventive behavior of female healthcare students was low. Osteoporosis education programs should be developed for female healthcare students to improve their knowledge and health belief that would then lead to their better preventive behavior.
Transitional care programs to improve outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ganefianty Amelia , Songwathana Praneed , Nilmanat Kittikorn 
Published: September 2021

Background: Effective nursing interventions for caring for patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury are still challenging during a transition from hospital to home. Since traumatic brain injury has deep-rooted sequelae, patients and their caregivers require better arrangement and information on the condition to achieve improved outcomes after discharge.
Objective: This study aimed to assess transitional care programs to improve outcomes of patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on studies retrieved from ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, and Google Scholar from January 2010 to July 2021. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for meta-analysis.
Results: Nine studies were systematically selected from 1,137 studies. The standard approaches of interventions used in patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers were education, mentored problem-solving, home-and community-based rehabilitation, counseling, skill-building, and psychological support. We observed that there was significant evidence indicating beneficial effects of intervention in increasing the physical functioning of patients with traumatic brain injury (SMD = -0.44, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.28, p <0.001), reducing the psychological symptoms among caregivers (SMD = -0.42, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.24, p <0.001), and increasing the satisfaction (SMD = -0.35, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.11, p = 0.005).
Conclusion: Education, skill-building, and psychological support should be the main components in transitional care nursing programs for patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers.
Snow Temperature Behind Sliding Skis as an Indicator for Frictional Meltwater
Authors: Hasler M  , Jud W  , Nachbauer W  
Published: September 2021

For many years, a frictional meltwater film has been assumed to be the reason for the low friction between skis and snow, but experimental studies have been inconclusive. Therefore, the aim of our study was to find indications or evidence for the presence of frictional meltwater. The friction between snow at −4°C and an XC ski as well as a flat ski was measured on a large-scale linear snow tribometer at realistic skiing speeds from 5 to 25 m/s. We used an infrared camera to analyze the snow temperature behind the skis. From the maximum snow surface temperature, we estimated the temperature at the spots where ski and snow contacted. Assuming that the contact spot temperature does not notably exceed 0°C, we calculated the relative contact area between ski and snow. Maximum snow surface temperatures were very close to 0°C. Given that not the entire snow surface is in contact with the ski, this finding is a strong indication for snow melting. Heat flow considerations led to the conclusion that there must be energy dissipation beyond the heat flow into ski and snow. The most obvious mechanism for the additional energy dissipation is snow melting. Presuming that the contact spot temperatures are at most slightly above 0°C, we calculated relative contact areas of 21–98%. Previous research has reported much lower values; however, most studies were conducted under conditions that are not realistic for skiing.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: Hybrid whole-body magnetic resonance/positron emission tomography (MR/PET) systems are new diagnostic tools enabling the simultaneous acquisition of morphologic and multiparametric functional data, which allow for a diversified characterization of oncological diseases. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of MRI with the diffusion-weighted image (DWI), and simultaneous integrated positron emission tomography MR/PET to detect malignant lesions and elucidate the utility and limitations of these imaging modalities in preoperative and postoperative follow up in cancer patients.Material and Methods: A total of 45 patients undergoing simultaneous MR/PET for CNS ICSOL in our institution between January 2016 and July 2020 were considered in this study. Post-processing was done in Siemens syngo software to generate a b2000 image. This image was then inverted to grayscale and compared with the NAC image of PET.Results: The lesion-based sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for DWI were 92.3, 83.3, 97.3, and 62.5%, respectively (at 95% CI and p was 0.000). The lesion-based sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for PET were 97.4, 71.4, 94.9, and 83.3%, respectively (at 95% CI and p was 0.000). The lesion-based sensitivity and specificity of DWI were comparable with those of PET.Conclusions: Although DWI and FDG-PET reflect different tissue properties, there is an association between the measures of both methods in CNS tumors probably because of the coupling of cellularity with tumor metabolism as seen on FDG and other PET tracers. Our study shows that DWI acts as a surrogate biomarker for FDG PET and other tracers in tumors. The method of DWI image generation is simple, radiation-free, and cost-effective in a clinical setup. The simultaneous DWI-PET study provides evidence and confirms the role of DWI in surveillance imaging of tumors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of the human papillomavirus (HPV) status on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) arising from different anatomic subsites.MethodsHNSCC patients with known HPV status from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010–2015 were included in our analysis. Patients were classified into three categories of HNSCC according to Site recode ICD-O-3/WHO 2008 and Primary Site-labeled, namely, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and nasopharynx. Logistic regression model was conducted to evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics and HPV status. Kaplan-Meier methods and COX regression analysis were used to analyze survival data.ResultsA total of 9,943 HNSCC patients with known HPV status from the SEER database were enrolled, with 6,829 (68.7%) HPV-positive patients. HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC were distinct and had different clinical and socioeconomic features (all P &lt; 0.001). Primary sites, socioeconomical factors (age, sex, marital status, and race), and pathological features (TNM stage and grade) were closely related with HPV status (all P &lt; 0.001). HPV-positive status was a favorable prognostic marker in HNSCC patients with cancers of the oropharynx and hypopharynx (all P &lt; 0.001), but was not in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (P = 0.843). A total of 8,933 oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) and 558 hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) patients were divided into the training and validation cohorts with a ratio of 1:1. Significant prognostic factors of the OS yielded by multivariate COX analysis in the training cohort were integrated to construct nomograms for OPC and HPC patients. The prognostic models showed a good discrimination with a C-index of 0.79 ± 0.007 and 0.73 ± 0.023 in OPC and HPC, respectively. Favorable calibration was reflected by the calibration curves. Additionally, corresponding risk classification systems for OPC and HPC patients based on the nomograms were built and could perfectly classify patients into low-risk, intermediated-risk, high-risk groups. OS in the three risk groups was accurately differentiated and showed a good discrimination.ConclusionHPV positivity was associated with an improved survival in HNSCC patients with cancers of the oropharynx and hypopharynx. Nomograms and corresponding risk classification systems were constructed to assist clinicians in evaluating the survival of OPC and HPC patients.

Candida albicans is the most commonly implicated agent in invasive human fungal infections. The disease could be presented as minimal symptomatic candidemia or can be fulminant sepsis. Candidemia is associated with a high rate of mortality and high healthcare and hospitalization costs. The surveillance programs have reported the distribution of other Candida species reflecting the trends and antifungal susceptibilities. Previous studies have demonstrated that C. glabrata more frequently presents fluconazole-resistant strains. Extracts from Mexican plants have been reported with activity against pulmonary mycosis, among them Colubrina greggii. In the present study, extracts from the aerial parts (leaves, flowers, and fruits) of this plant were evaluated against clinical isolates of several species of Candida (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, and C. tropicalis) by the broth microdilution assay. Through bioassay-guided fractionation, three antifungal glycosylated flavonoids were isolated and characterized. The isolated compounds showed antifungal activity only against C. glabrata resistant to fluconazole, and were non-toxic toward brine shrimp lethality bioassay and in vitro Vero cell line assay. The ethyl acetate and butanol extracts, as well as the fractions containing the mixture of flavonoids, were more active against Candida spp.
