Genesis of the Bieyesamas Monzogranite of the Altay Mountain, Xinjiang, Northwestern China, and Its Rare Metal Resource Potential
Authors: Qiao Gengbiao , Chen Xiaoyan , Li Wenming 
Published: June 2021

Lying in the Altay Orogenic Belt in Xinjiang, Northwestern China, the Bieyesamas monzogranite pluton is located in the North Altay Terrane. It is one of the important granitic batholiths with a large amount of rare metal pegmatite dikes. According to LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb isotopic dating, the 206Pb/238U weighted average age of the Bieyesamas monzogranite is

), indicating the formation age of Late Ordovician. The Bieyesamas monzogranite has secondary minerals such as garnet and tourmaline. The geochemical analysis shows that the pluton is characterized by high SiO2 (70.45%~75.44%), Al2O3 (14. 04%~17.14%), potassium and alkaline (

The mineral assemblage, geochemical characteristics, and zircon Hf isotope indicate the pluton experienced the highly fractionated process and belongs to highly fractionated S-type granite, which was formed by partial melting of the Meso- to Neoproterozoic crustal material. In the Bieyesamas monzogranite, the average contents of rare metals are obviously higher (

) than the other rocks and Clark values of crust, which indicates that the Bieyesamas pluton has the enrichment potential of rare metals. The metallogenic geological conditions are superior in the Bieyesamas area of the Altay Mountain, and rare metal deposits and ore spots are widely distributed. In particular, the newly discovered rare metal deposits are characterized by large-scale mineralization, high grade and industrial utilization value, etc. It is preliminarily predicted that they have reached the medium-scale deposits. Therefore, the Bieyesamas area is one of the key areas for rare metal prospecting breakthroughs in the future, with great potential for rare metal mineral resources.
Horizons of the Image: Interweaving Photography, Collage and the Digital Realm
Authors: Vicente Carlos Fadon 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The author addresses the place of visual representation in his body of work, focusing on the genesis of his interest in digital imaging and the relationship between digital imaging and photography. He also discusses the connection between photography and collage/montage, the extended imagination enabled by digital imaging, human-machine collaboration and the design of narrative structures, both of which are guided by the interplay between certainty and uncertainty. In addition, the author presents aspects of his creative and research processes, referring to some of his artworks and conceptual concerns. Using a retrospective and personal approach, the author’s analysis is unavoidably incomplete.
A Distinct Right to Freedom of Thought in South America
Authors: Colnago Cláudio de Oliveira Santos , Shiner Bethany 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The right to freedom of thought is guaranteed by Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights, yet current jurisprudence interprets the right as a mere dimension of freedom of expression, also protected by Article 13. Contemporary neurotechnology research presents the possibility for human thoughts to be tracked, recorded, analysed and predicted. This applies pressure upon the Inter-American Court of Human Rights’ current understanding of the right to freedom of thought. Firstly, this paper will examine how Article 13 has been interpreted by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights at different stages of its jurisprudence. Secondly, by considering both technological advances and the other rights guaranteed by the Convention, this paper argues for an evolution in the interpretation of Article 13 whereby the right to freedom of thought is understood as a distinct right, separate from freedom of expression. Finally, this paper proposes that the positive duty to secure Convention rights requires States to enact preventative legislation and regulations. Existing bioethics principles should be drawn upon to inform human rights-compliant laws and regulations that require the architectural design of technologies to limit the potential to infringe upon freedom of thought.
Wetnurse Politics in Spenser’s View and Jones’ Arte and Science
Authors: Lecky Katarzyna 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This essay places Edmund Spenser’s View of the Present State of Ireland (1596) into conversation with John Jones’ 1579 nursing manual Arte and Science in order to contextualize Spenser’s medical solution to Irish rebellion. For both, the Irish wetnurse, who controlled the political system of fosterage undermining England’s agenda in Ireland, is central to the corporate identity of a conjoined Anglo-Irish kingdom. A View’s relationship to Jones’ text reveals the vexed ontological landscape of England’s early imperial self-fashioning, which linked the re-engineering of the genetic nature of colonial bodies to the management of women’s reproductive labor.
Dressed in Sheep’s Clothing: Pastoral and Reform in Spenser’s A View of the Present State of Ireland
Authors: Iammarino Denna 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This study investigates the presence of pastoral themes in Spenser’s prose dialogue, A View of the Present State of Ireland (c. 1596). Tracing the traditional pastoral themes of generational conflict, degeneration, and regeneration in Spenser’s late pastorals, this study considers how Spenser’s inclusion of these pastoral themes shape paradigms of reform in the View. It argues that generational conflict is exacerbated in the colonial space where degeneration is pervasive threatening both the self and the social structure of the English colonial project in Ireland. These connections to pastoral themes suggest that Spenser and his colonial peers, such as Lodowick Bryskett, conceive of their lives in pastoral terms intersected with imperial politics.
Law and Diplomacy, Sovereignty and Consent
Authors: Sheehy Jeffrey 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This article reflects on the first-ever compulsory conciliation under the law of the sea and its significance to international law and diplomacy. The conditions for ending the dispute between Timor-Leste and Australia were only created through a genuine combination of both law and diplomacy as facilitated by an expert commission. Through successive milestones, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (unclos) conciliation framework and the conciliation commission itself, was able to successfully shift the reluctant State (Australia) from resistance, to engagement, and ultimately, to resolution. The conciliation also showed how Timor-Leste’s sovereign interpretation of maritime rights under international law was a compelling argument in the context of historical factors and its self-determination. Ultimately, a treaty was agreed through the conciliation despite competing views of international law’s relationship to diplomacy and indeed on maritime boundary delimitation methodology itself. A reflection on this triumph of the liberal international order is beneficial for both Timor-Leste and Australia as they seek further cooperation under the new treaty, and for other States facing entrenched disputes as well.
The Concept of Freedom of Navigation in Light of ITLOS Interpretation in the Norstar Case
Authors: Demontis Giulia 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The long-awaited judgment on the M/V Norstar case has clarified – at least for the time being – the meaning, interpretation and scope of application of the principle of freedom of the seas as a long-standing, customary principle of international law. Through an historical analysis of the principle and a framing of the ruling within the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, this article aims at providing a critical reading of the decision of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
Python-Based Supercell Tracking for Coarse Temporal and Spatial Resolution Numerical Model Simulations
Authors: Gropp Matthew E. , Davenport Casey E. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractDeep convective thunderstorm tracking methodologies and software have become useful and necessary tools across many applications, from nowcasting to model verification. Despite many available options, many of these pre-existing methods lack a customizable, fast, and flexible methodology that can track supercell thunderstorms within convective-allowing climate datasets with coarse temporal and spatial resolution. This project serves as one option to solve this issue via an all-in-one tracking methodology, built upon several open-source Python libraries, and designed to work with various temporal resolutions, including hourly. Unique to this approach is accounting for varying data availability of different model variables, while still sufficiently and accurately tracking specific convective features; in this case, supercells were the focus. To help distinguish supercells from ordinary cells, updraft helicity and other three-dimensional atmospheric data were incorporated into the tracking algorithm to confirm its supercellular status. Deviant motion from the mean wind was also used identify supercells. The tracking algorithm was tested and performed on a dynamically-downscaled regional climate model dataset with 4 km horizontal grid spacing. Each supercell was tracked for its entire lifetime over the course of 26 years of model output, resulting in a supercell climatology over the central United States. Due to the tracking configuration and dataset used, the tracking performs most consistently for long-lived and strong supercells compared to weak and short-lived supercells. This tracking methodology allows for customizable open-source tracking of supercells in any downscaled convective-allowing dataset, even with coarse temporal resolution.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: To evaluate if a specific type of cochlear implant (CI) electrode array (EA) reveals higher rates/prevalence of vestibular symptoms and to characterize their respective relationship to intracochlear position and objective vestibular function. Methods: This retrospective study included 71 cochlear implantations in patients older than 18 years. The electrode position within the cochlea, electrode insertion angle, and cochlear coverage were determined from postoperative multiplanar reconstructed cone-beam computed tomography scans. All device manufacturers were represented. Data related to preoperative and postoperative PTA as well as vestibular symptoms in the preoperative and postoperative stages were collected from the patient’s records. Results: Twelve of the 71 (16.9%) CI patients experienced vertigo symptoms in the early postoperative period. In 5 (7.0%) patients, the vertigo complaints lasted until the time of the first activation (5-6 weeks postoperative). Postoperative onset of vestibular symptoms was more often seen in patients receiving lateral wall (LW)/straight EAs (19%) compared to perimodiolar/precurved EAs (7%), but this was only a trend and no statistical significance was observed. Moreover, preoperative pathologic caloric responses (CRs) better predicted the postoperative onset of vestibular symptoms. Conclusion: The preoperative consideration of a complicated CI-induced vertigo is important in the counseling particularly of elderly patients. We identified some risk factors for post-CI vertigo that should be considered in the patient’s counseling: preoperative pathologic CRs, the extent of surgical trauma, and possibly the use of an LW EA, regardless of the length.

Published: June 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the risk of common mental illnesses. Consultation liaison psychiatry has been one of the most requested services in the face of this pandemic. We aimed to assess (a) the prevalence of psychiatric illness, (b) different types of psychiatric diagnoses, (c) presenting complaints, (d) reasons for psychiatric referrals, and (e) psychiatric intervention done on COVID-19 positive inpatients referred to consultation liaison psychiatry at tertiary care hospital. Method: This was a retrospective study of data collected from April 1, 2020, to September 15, 2020. Total 300 patients were referred and diagnosed with clinical interview and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorder Fifth Edition criteria. Analysis was done using chi-square test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and fisher exact test. Results: Out of 300 patients, 26.7% had no psychiatric illness. Adjustment disorder was the commonest psychiatric diagnosis (43%), followed by delirium (10%). Statistically significant differences were found for parameters like Indian Council of Medical Research Category 4 of the patient, (hospitalized severe acute respiratory infection) (P value < 0.001), medical comorbidity (P value = 0.023), and past history of psychiatric consultation (Fisher exact test statistic value <0.001). Behavioral problem (27.6%) was the commonest reason for psychiatric referral. Worrying thoughts (23.3%) was the most frequent complaint. A total of 192 (64.3%) patients were offered pharmacotherapy. Conclusions: Psychiatric morbidity was quite high (73.3%) among them and adjustment disorder was the commonest (43%) psychiatric diagnosis followed by delirium (10%). Pharmacotherapy was prescribed to 64.3% patients and psychosocial management was offered to most of the referred patients.

Published: June 2021

Admission to higher education is a milestone in the lives of young people. This can be accompanied by several changes in the student’s life such as a new place of residence, a new group of friends, and a new type of education. This entry into higher education can provide a new series of experiences, challenges, and newfound independence. However, it might also expose problems and difficulties, possibly hampering the student's personal and academic development. In order to ease the integration into higher education, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) has developed a Peer Mentoring Programme promoted by students already attending different FEUP courses (mentors) which intends to support the first-year students (mentees) in this phase of their life, coordinated by some teachers from each course. This social and academic integration program is supported by 4 core ideas: Integration, Support, Experience, and Sharing. This work provides insight into the way in which this program is organized at FEUP, highlighting the students’ participation (mentees and mentors), the main contributions that each of them values, their degree of satisfaction and involvement, activities that were developed, and some testimonies.
Covid-19 Mortality in an Acute Care Hospital: Association of Patient Factors With Decision to Forego the Intensive Care Unit

Published: June 2021

Background: Public awareness of the large mortality toll of COVID-19 particularly among elderly and frail persons is high. This public awareness represents an enhanced opportunity for early and urgent goals-of-care discussions to reduce medically ineffective care. Objective: To assess the end-of-life experiences of hospitalized patients dying of COVID-19 with respect to identifying the clinical factors associated with utilization or non-utilization of the ICU. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of hospital outcomes using electronic medical records and individual chart review from March 15, 2020 to October 15, 2020 of every patient with a COVID-19 diagnosis who died or was admitted to hospice while hospitalized. Logistic regression multivariate analysis was used to identify the clinical and demographic factors associated with non-utilization of the ICU. Results: 133/749 (18%) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients died or were admitted to hospice as a result of COVID-19. Of the 133, 66 (49.6%) had no ICU utilization. In multivariate analysis, the significant patient factors associated with non-ICU utilization were increasing age, normal body mass index, and the presence of an advanced directive calling for limited life sustaining therapies. Race and residence at time of admission (home vs. facility) were significant only in the unadjusted analyses but not in adjusted. Gender was not significant in either form of analyses. Conclusion: Goals of care discussions performed by an augmented palliative care team and other bedside clinicians had renewed urgency during COVID-19. Large percentages of patients and surrogates, perhaps motivated by public awareness of poor outcomes, opted not to utilize the ICU.
Stay Socially Distant and Wash Your Hands: Using the Health Belief Model to Determine Intent for COVID-19 Preventive Behaviors at the Beginning of the Pandemic
Authors: Guidry Jeanine P. D. , O’Donnell Nicole H. , Austin Lucinda L. , Coman Ioana A. , Adams Jay , Perrin Paul B. 
Published: June 2021

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has quickly spread around the world, and since currently no treatments that are safe and effective for large groups of people nor a vaccine are available, the best way to prevent the illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus causing it. The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive effects of both demographic and psychosocial factors originating with the Health Belief Model on reported intent to adhere to COVID-19 preventive behaviors (e.g., social distancing, hand washing, and not attending large gatherings). Method A Qualtrics survey of 500 U.S. adults was conducted to explore the relationships of demographics and psychosocial factors with the intent to adhere to COVID-19 preventive measures. Results Gender was a predictor of taking preventive action, with women more likely to take action. Health Belief Model constructs predicted uptake of most COVID-19 preventive actions, but the constructs often appeared to work independent of the model. Race/ethnicity was an infrequent predictor, but when it did, minorities were less likely to report intent to adhere to COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Conclusion/Implications While not a perfect model for this pandemic, the Health Belief Model and its constructs should continue to be considered for use by public health communicators focusing on preventive measure campaign design in both the COVID-19 pandemic era and beyond.
An overview of the effect of telehealth on mortality: A systematic review of meta-analyses
Authors: Snoswell Centaine L , Stringer Hannah , Taylor Monica L , Caffery Liam J , Smith Anthony C 
Published: June 2021

Introduction Telehealth is recognised as a viable way of providing health care over distance, and an effective way to increase access for individuals with transport difficulties or those living in rural and remote areas. While telehealth has many positives for patients, clinicians and the health system, it is important that changes in the delivery of health care (e.g. in-person to telehealth) do not result in inferior or unsafe care. In this review, we collate existing meta-analyses of mortality rates to provide a holistic view of the current evidence regarding telehealth safety. Methods In November 2020, a search of Pretty Darn Quick Evidence portal was conducted in order to locate systematic reviews published between 2010 and 2019, examining and meta-analysing the effect of telehealth interventions on mortality compared to usual care. Results This review summarises evidence from 24 meta-analyses. Five overarching medical disciplines were represented (cardiovascular, neurology, pulmonary, obstetrics and intensive care). Overall, telehealth did not increase mortality rates. Discussion The evidence from this review can be used by decision makers, in conjunction with other disease-specific and health economic evidences, to support and guide telehealth implementation plans.
Liberation and limitation: Emancipatory politics, socio-ecological transformation and the grammar of the autocratic-authoritarian turn
Authors: Blühdorn Ingolfur 
Published: June 2021

Despite decades of emancipatory mobilization, there is no realistic prospect for any profound socio-ecological transformation of contemporary consumer societies. Instead, social inequality and ecological destruction are on the rise and an autocratic-authoritarian turn is reshaping even the most established liberal democracies. In explaining these phenomena, the struggle for autonomy and emancipation is an important parameter that has not received sufficient attention so far. This article investigates these phenomena through the lens of the dialectic of emancipation – a concept that I have suggested elsewhere and that I here further elaborate, placing particular emphasis on the relationship between the rule-transgressing and the rule-setting capacities of the emancipatory project. The article specifies constitutive dimensions of the emancipatory project, explores their ongoing reinterpretation and reconfiguration and thus explains how the emancipatory logic itself has come to obstruct the socio-ecological transformation and to nurture new forms of authoritarian governance.
