Authors: Afful Aba Essanowa , Ayarkwa Joshua , Acquah Godwin Kojo Kumi , Osei-Asibey Dickson 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThe aim of this study was to identify these enablers in literature and subsume them under broad categories for the development of a framework showing the interrelationships among the enablers.Design/methodology/approachFifty-four (54) relevant articles were desk reviewed from different construction peer-reviewed journals and published conference proceedings to identify 20 core enablers of incorporating indoor environmental quality (IEQ) into building designs.FindingsThe identified enablers include improved occupants' health, well-being and satisfaction, environmental conservation, high return on investments and co-operative methods of design and construction management among others. To better understand the enablers identified, they were classified into seven main interconnected categories: economic enablers, environmental enablers, occupant and end-user enablers, process enablers, corporate image, culture and vision enablers, client-related enablers and external enablers.Research limitations/implicationsThe interconnectedness brought to the fore a subtler appreciation of the drivers of IEQ, which could help expand current knowledge outside the narrow scope of isolated drivers. The fact that the papers selected in this study are not limited geographically underscores the wide applicability of the findings to the global construction industry.Practical implicationsUnderstanding that the enablers will enhance the adoption and design of quality indoor environments, help in building the capacity of consultants to adopt the design of quality IEs and reduce the impact of construction on the environment.Social implicationsThese identified enablers are not limited geographically and thus could promote the design of quality indoor environments globally, particularly in green building design. To the global construction community, this review presents a list of enablers that would expedite the adoption of principles of IEQ designs in buildings thus taking the global construction industry one more step towards sustainable built forms. Promoting the identified enablers would ultimately steer stakeholders to design and build better indoor environments.Originality/valueThe fact that the papers selected in this study are not limited geographically underscores the wide applicability of the findings to the global construction industry.
Detection of solder paste defects with an optimization‐based deep learning model using image processing techniques
Authors: Sezer Ali , Altan Aytaç 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
In the production processes of electronic devices, production activities are interrupted due to the problems caused by soldering defects during the assembly of surface-mounted elements on printed circuit boards (PCBs), and this leads to an increase in production costs. In solder paste applications, defects that may occur in electronic cards are usually noticed at the last stage of the production process. This situation reduces the efficiency of production and causes delays in the delivery schedule of critical systems. This study aims to overcome these problems, optimization based deep learning model has been proposed by using 2D signal processing methods.

Design/methodology/approach
An optimization-based deep learning model is proposed by using image-processing techniques to detect solder paste defects on PCBs with high performance at an early stage. Convolutional neural network, one of the deep learning methods, is trained using the data set obtained for this study, and pad regions on PCB are classified.

Findings
A total of six types of classes used in the study consist of uncorrectable soldering, missing soldering, excess soldering, short circuit, undefined object and correct soldering, which are frequently used in the literature. The validity of the model has been tested on the data set consisting of 648 test data.

Originality/value
The effect of image processing and optimization methods on model performance is examined. With the help of the proposed model, defective solder paste areas on PCBs are detected, and these regions are visualized by taking them into a frame.
Microstructures evolution and growth kinetics of intermetallic compounds in Cu/Sn/Cu system during ultrasonic soldering process
Authors: Han Xu , Li Xiaoyan , Yao Peng 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effect of ultrasound on interfacial microstructures and growth kinetics of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at different temperatures.

Design/methodology/approach
To investigate the effect of ultrasound on IMCs growth quantitatively, the cross-sectional area of IMCs layers over a confirmed length was obtained for calculating the thickness of the IMCs layer.

Findings
The generation of dimensional difference in normal direction between Cu6Sn5 and its adjacent Cu6Sn5, formation of bossed Cu6Sn5 and non-interfacial Cu6Sn5 in ultrasonic solder joints made the interfacial Cu6Sn5 layer present a non-scallop-like morphology different from that of traditional solder joints. At 260°C and 290°C, the Cu3Sn layer presented a wave-like shape. In contrast, at 320°C, the Cu3Sn in ultrasonic solder joints consisted of non-interfacial Cu3Sn and interfacial Cu3Sn with a branch-like shape. The Cu6Sn5/Cu3Sn boundary and Cu3Sn/Cu interface presented a sawtooth-like shape under the effect of ultrasound. The predominant mechanism of ultrasonic-assisted growth of Cu6Sn5 growth at 260°C, 290°C and 320°C involved the grain boundary diffusion accompanied by grain coarsening. The Cu3Sn growth was controlled by volume diffusion during the ultrasonic soldering process at 260°C and 290°C. The diffusion mechanism of Cu3Sn growth transformed to grain boundary diffusion accompanied by grain coarsening when the ultrasonic soldering temperature was increased to 320°C.

Originality/value
The microstructural evolution and growth kinetics of IMCs in ultrasonically prepared ultrasonic solder joints at different temperatures have rarely been reported in previous studies. In this study, the effect of ultrasound on microstructural evolution and growth kinetics of IMCs was systematically investigated.

Published: August 2021

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the interplay of memorable tourism experiences (MTE) dimensions in driving behavioral intentions of heritage tourists through the mediating role of satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical data were collected from tourists in the heritage city of Kashan, Iran. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were applied to analyze the data.FindingsThe results of PLS-SEM showed that three dimensions of MTE as follows: local culture, involvement and knowledge, significantly directly or indirectly influence tourists’ behavioral intention toward a destination. However, the results of fsQCA identified greater heterogeneity among the respondents by highlighting the positive effects of hedonism and novelty on satisfaction and revisit and word-of-mouth intentions.Originality/valueThis study enriches the empirical evidence on MTE by constructing a composite picture of the memorability of tourists’ experiences within a heritage tourism context. This study is one of the first to investigate the effects of dimensions of MTE on behavioral intentions using both symmetric (PLS-SEM) and asymmetric approaches to identify the more significant dimensions of MTE, as well as sufficient combinations of dimensions to predict behavioral intentions.
Mixing/Medicines: Healing Exchanges among Women in Early Colonial New Spain (1530–1650)
Authors: Holler Jacqueline 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTPart of a broader project that studies the exchange of medical knowledge across boundaries of language and ethnicity in the colony of New Spain, this article uses records from the Mexican tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition to examine women healers’ participation in the exchange of healing materials and treatments and women’s networks as loci of knowledge and healing exchanges. The article finds that women in early‐colonial New Spain (1530–1650) participated in complex multi‐ethnic and multi‐class networks, sharing healing recipes and remedies, transmitting and hybridising medical traditions and medicines and helping forge a diverse healing culture.
Boycott, Resistance and the Law: Cause Lawyering in Conflict and Authoritarianism
Authors: McEvoy Kieran , Bryson Anna 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis article examines the role of cause lawyers in conflicted or authoritarian contexts where the chances of legal victory are often minimal. Drawing upon the literature on resistance, performance, memory studies, legal consciousness and the sociology of lawyers, the paper examines how cause lawyers challenge and subvert power. The paper first explores the tactics and strategies of cause lawyers who boycott legal proceedings and the relationship between such boycotts and broader political struggles, legitimacy and law. It then examines why and how cause lawyers engage in fairly hopeless legal struggles as acts of instrumental resistance (the ‘sand in the cogs’), transforming courts into sites of symbolic resistance, and using law as a form of memory work. The paper argues that boycott of and resistance through the courts can counter the use of law as an instrument of wickedness and a tool of denial and preserves a ‘stubborn optimism’ in the rule of law.

AbstractObjectiveThe objectives of this study are to compare the relative use of different postacute care settings in different countries and to compare three important outcomes as follows: total expenditure, total days of care in different care settings, and overall longevity over a 1‐year period following a hip fracture.Data SourcesWe used administrative data from hospitals, institutional and home‐based long‐term care (LTC), physician visits, and medications compiled by the International Collaborative on Costs, Outcomes, and Needs in Care (ICCONIC) from five countries as follows: Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.Data Extraction MethodsData were extracted from existing administrative data systems in each participating country.Study DesignThis is a retrospective cohort study of all individuals admitted to acute care for hip fracture. Descriptive comparisons were used to examine aggregate institutional and home‐based postacute care. Care trajectories were created to track sequential care settings after acute‐care discharge through institutional and community‐based care in three countries where detailed information allowed. Comparisons in patient characteristics, utilization, and costs were made across these trajectories and countries.Principal FindingsAcross five countries with complete LTC data, we found notable variations with Germany having the highest days of home‐based services with relatively low costs, while Sweden incurred the highest overall expenditures. Comparisons of trajectories found that France had the highest use of inpatient rehabilitation. Germany was most likely to discharge hip fracture patients to home. Over 365 days, France averaged the highest number of days in institution with 104, Canada followed at 94, and Germany had just 87 days of institutional care on average.ConclusionIn this comparison of LTC services following a hip fracture, we found international differences in total use of institutional and noninstitutional care, longevity, and total expenditures. There exist opportunities to organize postacute care differently to maximize independence and mitigate costs.
Hyperkalemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis: Its pathophysiology and management
Authors: Shibata Shigeru , Uchida Shunya 
Published: August 2021

AbstractPotassium is a major intracellular cation in the body, regulating membrane potential of excitable cells, such as cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells. Because the kidney plays a critical role in controlling potassium balance, the elevation in serum potassium levels is one of the most common complications in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). In addition to reduced renal potassium excretion, the alteration in body potassium distribution owing to comorbid conditions may also contribute to dyskalemia. Besides potassium elimination through hemodialysis in MHD patients, accumulating data indicate the potential importance of extra‐renal elimination involving the gastrointestinal system, which can be affected by the inhibitors of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system. In this article, the literature on potassium physiology in MHD patients is reviewed with an emphasis on the changes from individuals with normal kidney function. This article also summarizes the findings of recent studies on dietary control, dialysate prescription, and pharmacological therapy.
Spectral‐based Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Fethiye, Muğla
Authors: HARMANDAR Ebru 
Published: August 2021

AbstractFethiye is an important region located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin. This region which is the most active part of the south‐western Anatolia extensional tectonic regime, has been effected by earthquakes, submarine landslides and tsunamis throughout the history due to the existence of the complex active plate boundary zone. The active area has been exposed to ground motion that had the potential to damage vulnerable structures. Therefore, a detailed assessment of seismic hazard is necessary for the prevention of potential damage. In this context, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is performed by R‐CRISIS‐18.3 using the refined parameters computed from Seismic Hazard Harmonization for Europe (SHARE) project. Spatial distribution of spectral acceleration at T = 0.2 s and T = 1.0 s for the earthquake levels that corresponds to the average return period of 72, 475 and 2475 years is calculated. Hazard curves for the central region of Fethiye district are generated. The results are discussed and compared with the values obtained from the Revision of Turkish Seismic Hazard Map Project (UDAP‐Ç‐13‐06). These local results of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis will provide the basis for the preparation of seismic risk maps as future work.

AbstractBackgroundThe same dosing schedule, 1000 SQ‐U times three, with one‐month intervals, have been evaluated in most trials of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). The present studies evaluated if a dose escalation in ILIT can enhance the clinical and immunological effects, without compromising safety.MethodsTwo randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trials of ILIT for grass pollen‐induced AR were performed. The first included 29 patients that had recently ended 3 years of SCIT and the second contained 39 not previously vaccinated patients. An up‐dosage of 1000–3000–10,000 (5000 + 5000 with 30 minutes apart) SQ‐U with 1 month in between was evaluated.ResultsDoses up to 10,000 SQ‐U were safe after recent SCIT. The combined symptom‐medication scores (CSMS) were reduced by 31% and the grass‐specific IgG4 levels in blood were doubled. In ILIT de novo, the two first patients that received active treatment developed serious adverse reactions at 5000 SQ‐U. A modified up‐dosing schedule; 1000–3000–3000 SQ‐U appeared to be safe but failed to improve the CSMS. Flow cytometry analyses showed increased activation of lymph node‐derived dendritic but not T cells. Quality of life and nasal provocation response did not improve in any study.ConclusionIntralymphatic immunotherapy in high doses after SCIT appears to further reduce grass pollen‐induced seasonal symptoms and may be considered as an add‐on treatment for patients that do not reach full symptom control after SCIT. Up‐dosing schedules de novo with three monthly injections that exceeds 3000 SQ‐U should be avoided.

AbstractBackgroundThe prevalence of myopia is increasing globally including in Europe and parts of Asia but Australian data are lacking. This study aim described the change in myopia prevalence in middle‐aged Australian adults over approximately a 20‐year period.MethodsTwo contemporary Western Australian studies (conducted in mid‐late 2010s): the coastal‐regional Busselton Healthy Ageing Study (BHAS) and the urban Gen1 of the Raine Study (G1RS) were compared to two earlier studies (early‐mid 1990s) in Australia: the urban Blue Mountains Eye Study (BMES) and urban/regional Melbourne Visual Impairment Project (MVIP). Refractive error was measured by autorefraction, vertometry, or subjective refraction. Participants (49–70 years) of European descent without self‐reported/diagnosed cataract, corneal disease, or refractive or corneal surgery were included.ResultsAfter exclusions, data were available from 2217, 1760, 700, 2987 and 756 participants from BMES, urban MVIP, regional MVIP, BHAS, and G1RS, respectively. The mean age ranged from 57.1 ± 4.6 years in the G1RS to 60.1 ± 6.0 years in the BMES; 44–48% of participants were male. When stratified by location, the contemporary urban G1RS cohort had a higher age‐standardised myopia prevalence than the urban MVIP and BMES cohorts (29.2%, 16.4%, and 23.9%, p < 0.001). The contemporary coastal‐regional BHAS had a higher age‐standardised myopia prevalence than the regional MVIP cohort (19.4% vs. 13.8%, p = 0.001).ConclusionsWe report an increase in myopia prevalence in older adults in Australia born after World War ll compared to cohorts born before, accounting for urban/regional location. The prevalence of myopia remains relatively low in middle‐aged Australian adults.

AbstractBackgroundPerforations are a rare but serious complication of colorectal cancer. The current standard of treatment is emergent surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The concern with this approach is not only the uncertainty of achieving a R0 resection but also potential injury to adjacent vessels, nerves and ureters due to inflamed tissue planes. A subset of this patient population with a contained perforation who are clinically stable may have superior oncological outcomes with local sepsis control, neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical resection. The aim of this study is to report on the pre‐operative safety profile for neoadjuvant therapy in the setting of an abscess from colon cancer perforation and the short‐term oncological surgical quality outcomes.MethodsIn this retrospective observational study, all consecutive perforated colon cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy from Jan 2010 to Dec 2019 were included.ResultsThere were 21 patients that met the inclusion criteria. The most common symptom at presentation was abdominal pain (71.4%) and most common site of perforation was sigmoid colon (61.9%). Local sepsis control was achieved with a combination of radiological or surgical drainage, diverting ostomy and/or intravenous antibiotics. Thirteen patients had long‐course chemoradiation and eight patients had neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Of these, 13 (61.9%) had tumour regression, with one patient having a pathological complete response. All patients achieved a R0 resection.ConclusionsIn a small subset of patients with colon cancer perforation, this study has demonstrated the potential safe usage of neoadjuvant therapy first before radical surgery to achieve a clear resection margin.
Evidence of Absence: Abstract Metrical Structure in Speech Planning
Authors: Myers Brett R. , Watson Duane G. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractRhythmic structure in speech is characterized by sequences of stressed and unstressed syllables. A large body of literature suggests that speakers of English attempt to achieve rhythmic harmony by evenly distributing stressed syllables throughout prosodic phrases. The question remains as to how speakers plan metrical structure during speech production and whether it is planned independently of phonemes. To examine this, we designed a tongue twister task consisting of disyllabic word pairs with overlapping phonological segments and either matching or non‐matching metrical structure. Results showed that speakers had more difficulty producing metrically regular word pairs, compared to irregular pairs; that is, word pairs with irregular meter had faster productions and fewer speech errors in this production task. This finding of metrical regularity inhibiting production is inconsistent with an abstract metrical structure that is planned independently of phonemes at the point of phonological encoding.
