Effects of Ru catalyst changes by atmospheric exposure days on the interfacial and impact properties of glass fiber/p-DCPD composites
Authors: Kwon Dong-Jun , Shin Pyeong-Su , Yoo Hyeong Min 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The ruthenium (Ru) catalyst is the most recently developed poly dicyclopentadiene (p-DCPD) polymer catalyst known to promote stable reactions, even upon contact with oxygen. However, the experimental results showed that exposure times exceeding three days can cause problems during curing due to reaction between oxygen and Ru catalyst. Consequently, 12 days of exposure degraded the mechanical and interfacial properties of p-DCPD or p-DCPD composites reinforced with 40 wt% 50-mm GF by 60%. The structural analysis simulation of the target product also showed noticeable changes in the catalyst that was exposed to air atmosphere for more than six days, which can deteriorate quality. This study demonstrated that when molding structures using p-DCPD, special care should be taken to control atmospheric exposure of the ruthenium catalyst.
Comparative study on aqueous acid free UO2 dissolution-extraction using DHOA adduct into room temperature ionic liquid/supercritical carbon dioxide/n-hexane
Authors: Rao Ankita 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Feasibility was established for direct dissolution-extraction of uranium employing adduct of N,N-dihexyl octanamide (DHOA), thus eliminating discrete aqueous phase and free acid usage. Various aspects of dissolution of solid uranium dioxide and extraction of uranium into molecular diluent viz. n-hexane and neoteric solvents viz. room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) were studied. The organic adduct was found to have composition DHOA.(HNO3)0.78(H2O)0.4. Adduct miscibility and UO2 dissolution behavior was markedly different for RTIL and n-hexane. The dissolution process, studied by monitoring UV–Vis spectra, was found to be pseudo first order with a rate constant of of 0.074 min−1 and 0.036 min−1 for n-hexane and RTIL respectively. Irrespective of medium, dissolution-extraction efficiency of ≥90% was achievable. Using RTIL for dissolution-extraction medium and SC CO2 for stripping is promising in terms of overall efficiency as well as RTIL recovery by avoiding aqueous cross contamination.
‘Away’ gestures associated with negative expressions in narrative discourse in Syuba (Kagate, Nepal) speakers
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: February 2021

AbstractThis article examines the formal and functional features of a recurring ‘away’ gesture in Syuba (Tibeto-Burman, Nepal). The formal properties of this gesture include a pronation of the forearms to bring the palms downward while the fingers spread away, and is most often performed with both hands. Functionally, it is found with utterances that signal negation, particularly the absence of something. A growing body of literature links ‘away’ trajectories with negation, or negative evaluation of speech content cross-linguistically. The temporal alignment between these gesture and lexical content also shows that cross-linguistic differences in word order appear to affect performance of gestures associated with negated content.
Narration et prédation: Pascal Quignard et la théorie cynégétique du récit
Authors: Àlvares Cristina 
Published: February 2021

Résumé
Notre propos est de réunir quelques réflexions de Pascal Quignard sur le récit afin d’en dégager les coordonnées ou les prémisses d’une théorie narrative chez cet écrivain qui, n’étant pas un théoricien, est sans doute quelqu’un qui fait œuvre de pensée. Notre hypothèse est que, situées dans le cadre d’une épistémologie naturaliste et d’un récit anthropogénétique au sein duquel la prédation joue un rôle majeur, en particulier celui de condition de possibilité de la narration, les spéculations de Quignard s’élaborent sur fond de la théorie sémio-narrative laquelle subit ainsi une reformulation. Nous soutenons que la réinterprétation quignardienne fait partie des théories, comme celles de Petitot et de Thom, qui proposent une solution morphogénétique au problème de la conversion (de la substance sémique en forme narrative) tel qu’il se présente chez Greimas. Au sein de cette convergence avec le structuralisme naturaliste et morphodynamique, la spécificité de Quignard réside dans la configuration de la conversion comme capture. Cette figure dynamique devient alors un opérateur de narrativité différent des modèles logiques (carré sémiotique) ou topologiques (catastrophes) qui formalisent rationnellement la conversion. Elle est au cœur de la pensée de l’écrivain sur le phénomène narratif.
“We are here to help you”: understanding the role of careers and employability services in UK universities
Authors: Fotiadou Maria 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This paper examines the language used by careers services in UK universities. Using a combination of critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics methods and tools, the analysis of 2.6 million words collected from 58 UK university websites shows that the services highlight the quantity and variety of resources and assistance offered to Higher Education (HE) students. In addition, the close analysis of linguistic data brings to light a commonly used semantic pattern where the services act as the enablers of the students’ self-beneficiary actions. The main idea communicated in these webpages is that if HE students want to succeed in the graduate job market they need to prepare for the world of work, follow instructions and develop their employability. This course of action is presented by UK universities as natural or common sense. The interpretation and evaluation of linguistic patterns that emerge from the corpus-based analysis challenges the notion of employability and its association with the idea of ‘empowering’ young people to successfully compete in the graduate job market.

Abstract

Objectives
It is vital to determine the intensive care unit (ICU) requirement at an early stage to reduce the mortality rate in COVID-19 patients. The aim of the study was to find reliable predictive markers to determine the ICU requirement.

Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and laboratory records of 151 COVID-19 patients. The predictive abilities of biochemical parameters and computed tomography (CT) score were evaluated to determine of ICU requirement.

Results
The area under curve (AUC) values for procalcitonin, D-Dimer, C reactive protein (CRP), glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and CT score were found higher than those for other parameters in the prediction of ICU requirement. The negative predictive values of these markers were higher than their positive predictive values. CT score was found to be highly correlated with fibrinogen and CRP. The glucose levels [odd ratio (OR): 95% CI; 1.07, p-value: 0.014] and CT score [OR: 95% CI; 1.05, p-value: 0.022] were associated with ICU requirement in COVID-19 patients.

Conclusions
CT score, procalcitonin, D-Dimer, CRP, glucose, and LDH are potential predictors to rule out ICU requirement on hospital admission. Fibrinogen and CRP can be used to follow up and predict lung damages in patients with COVID-19.
Paul Silas Peterson: „Zurück zur Individualität!“ Die Rezeption moderner Religionsphilosophie im Hochland in der Weimarer Zeit
Authors: Peterson Paul Silas 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The monthly magazine Hochland was probably the most influential Catholic cultural periodical in Germany in the Weimar Period. According to Georg Cardinal von Kopp’s assessment in 1911, it was “unfortunately the most read periodical in all of the educated circles of Germany, Austria and German Switzerland”. Moving beyond the simple rejection of modern culture in Germany, the journal tried to follow a new program of mediatory engagement, although it did continue to hold to traditional positions in many regards. In this article the reception of modern, Enlightenment-affirmative philosophy of religion in the journal is introduced with reference to reviews and essays from the later 1910s to the early 1930s. The journal’s treatment of a few critical subject areas is given close interpretive analysis, including the journal’s treatment of Gertrud Simmel’s Über das Religiöse, individually conceptualized forms of personalist moral theory, and the general shift to phenomenological discourses and the individual in the philosophy of religion. The fundamental rejections of these ideas and these schools of thought in reviews and essays, which are also found in the journal at this time (as in most all German language Catholic cultural journals of the period), are not addressed in this article. The article thus sheds light on an often-forgotten and relatively small minority phenomenon in German Catholic intellectual circles of the Weimar Period, namely the positive embrace of Enlightenment-oriented modern thought. By promoting these ideas at this time, this group made themselves highly vulnerable to disciplinary measures by the Catholic Church. (The journal was put on the Index in 1911.)
Semantic Knowledge of Famous People and Places Is Represented in Hippocampus and Distinct Cortical Networks

Published: February 2021

Studies have found that anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is critical for detailed knowledge of object categories, suggesting that it has an important role in semantic memory. However, in addition to information about entities, such as people and objects, semantic memory also encompasses information about places. We tested predictions stemming from the PMAT model, which proposes there are distinct systems that support different kinds of semantic knowledge: an anterior temporal (AT) network, which represents information about entities; and a posterior medial (PM) network, which represents information about places. We used representational similarity analysis to test for activation of semantic features when human participants viewed pictures of famous people and places, while controlling for visual similarity. We used machine learning techniques to quantify the semantic similarity of items based on encyclopedic knowledge in the Wikipedia page for each item and found that these similarity models accurately predict human similarity judgments. We found that regions within the AT network, including ATL and inferior frontal gyrus, represented detailed semantic knowledge of people. In contrast, semantic knowledge of places was represented within PM network areas, including precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex, angular gyrus, and parahippocampal cortex. Finally, we found that hippocampus, which has been proposed to serve as an interface between the AT and PM networks, represented fine-grained semantic similarity for both individual people and places. Our results provide evidence that semantic knowledge of people and places is represented separately in AT and PM areas, whereas hippocampus represents semantic knowledge of both categories.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHumans acquire detailed semantic knowledge about people (e.g., their occupation and personality) and places (e.g., their cultural or historical significance). While research has demonstrated that brain regions preferentially respond to pictures of people and places, less is known about whether these regions preferentially represent semantic knowledge about specific people and places. We used machine learning techniques to develop a model of semantic similarity based on information available from Wikipedia, validating the model against similarity ratings from human participants. Using our computational model, we found that semantic knowledge about people and places is represented in distinct anterior temporal and posterior medial brain networks, respectively. We further found that hippocampus, an important memory center, represented semantic knowledge for both types of stimuli.
The Impact of Obesity on Mortality and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Diverticulitis in the United States

Published: February 2021

Background and Aims: Diverticular disease represents a leading cause of gastrointestinal-related hospitalizations. We sought to identify the adverse consequences of obesity on acute diverticulitis (AD) hospital admissions. By age 85, approximately two-thirds of individuals will develop diverticular disease and up to 25% will develop AD. Generally, obesity confers an increased risk of morbidity and mortality; however, its impact on hospitalized patients with AD are lacking.
Methods: Utilizing ICD-9-CM codes from the National Inpatient Sample (January 2012 – October 2015) we identified patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of AD including 660,820 hospitalizations and 115,785 with obesity. Primary outcomes were mortality, length of stay, and hospitalization cost. Secondary outcomes were AD complications and the need for surgical interventions.
Results: On multivariate analysis, obesity was not associated with an increased risk of mortality (OR=1.1, 95%CI: 0.87-1.41; p= 0.43). However, morbid obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m2) showed a significant increased risk of mortality (OR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.23-2.31; p<0.001). Obesity was associated with prolonged hospitalizations length of stay by 0.61 days (0.55-0.68; p <10-6), higher hospital charges $6,320 ($ 5,500-7,140; p<10-6), increased complicated diverticulitis 1.05 (1.01-1.1; p < 0.010) and required more surgical interventions for diverticulitis (OR=1.19, 95%CI: 1.15-1.23; p<10-6).
Conclusion: Morbid obesity increases risk for mortality while obesity leads to longer hospitalization stays and greater healthcare cost as well as adverse clinical outcomes and more surgical interventions. Further interventions are required to address obesity and weight loss for patients with diverticulitis to improve clinical outcomes.
Mediterranean, vegetarian and vegan diets as practical outtakes of EAS and ACC/AHA recommendations for lowering lipid profile
Authors: Wojda Anna , Janczy Agata , Małgorzewicz Sylwia 
Published: February 2021

Abstract: Reduction of total cholesterol (TC) and LDL fraction (LDL-C) may be beneficial towards decreasing the risk of development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). First and foremost, before implementing or simultaneously with pharmacological treatment, patients should be informed about lifestyle changes that may be critical to achieving a better lipid profile. Recommendations from ACC/AHA (American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association) and EAS (European Atherosclerosis Society) mainly focus on limitation of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and trans fatty acids (TFA) consumption, but additional support could be considered. This review presents selected guidelines of European scientific societies concerning lipid metabolism disorders. The main aim of this manuscript was to present the guidelines how to provide simple and transparent schemes of management in dyslipidemia therapy. Encouraging patients for increasing the intake of soluble fiber (SF) and phytosterols (PS) may also be promoted for achieving therapeutic goals. In the clinical point of view, restoring an appropriate lipid profile is important because it directly reduces the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The EAS and ACC/AHA guidelines introduce several new demands, so far absent from previous recommendations. Mediterranean diet (MD) or vegetarian lifestyles are an example of diet patterns that are deliberated as healthy for cardio-vascular system, since both consist of fresh, unprocessed vegetables and fruits with addition of desirable fats.

Patient safety is a global issue and a top priority in hospitals. Incidence of unexpected events varies significantly in Indonesia. Nurses’ compliance is an essential factor in the successful implementation of patient safety policies in hospitals. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing nurses’ compliance with patient safety policies in inpatient units of Dr. Kariadi general hospital, Semarang. This study employed a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The samples were 220 staff nurses recruited using a proportional random sampling technique. The data were collected using a questionnaire developed by the researchers and analyzed using the univariate analysis, Chi-Square test, and multivariate multiple logistic regression test. Results of the bivariate analysis showed that there were effects of supervision (p=0.038; OR=1.828), the character of authority figures (p=0.001; OR=2.648), and non-compliant colleagues (p=0.0001; OR=2.899) on nurses’ compliance with patient safety policies. However, gender (p=0.691), working environment (p=0.891), and contradictory orders (p=0.243) were found to have no effects on nurses’ compliance with patient safety policies. Results of multivariate analysis using a multiple logistic regression analysis showed that non-compliant colleagues were the most influential factor of nurses’ compliance with patient safety policies in the hospital. There were effects of supervision, the character of authority figures, and non-compliant colleagues on nurses’ compliance with patient safety policies. In contrast, gender, working environment, and contradictory orders showed no effects on nurses’ compliance. Non-compliant colleagues had the most effect on nurses’ compliance.

To determine the frequency and antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species causing candidemia or blood stream infections (BSI) in immunocompromised patients of a bone marrow transplant unit. The study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Rawalpindi in collaboration with Armed Forces Bone Marrow Transplant Center (AFBMTC), Rawalpindi, from 1st June 2019 to 31st December 2019. A total 256 paired blood culture samples from patients of all ages, irrespective of gender were collected during a period of seven months. The samples were processed as recommended Clinical & Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Antifungal susceptibility by break point MICs was performed through VITEK® 2 system (version: 08.01) for Fluconazole, Itraconazole and Amphotericin B. Of the total 256 blood cultures, 46 (17.97%) were positive for Candida species. The susceptibility of C. albicans was 100% to Amphotericin B, 90% to Fluconazole and 10% to Itraconazole, while C. tropicalis showed sensitivity of 92%, 88% and 0% against Amphotericin B, Fluconazole and Itraconazole, respectively. C. parapsilosis was found sensitive to Amphotericin B while resistance to Fluconazole and Itraconazole.Frequency of candidemia among immunocompromised patients is 17.9%. C. tropicalis and C. albicans are the two most common Candida species involved in blood stream infections in our setup. Fluconazole and Amphotericin B, both were found susceptible and can be used as empirical therapy.

ABSTRAKBerdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan di lokasi studi terdapat perbedaan kondisi unit hauling saat loaded travel, sehingga penggunaan bahan bakarnya juga berbeda. Gambaran keseimbangan antara penggunaan bahan bakar dan produksi. dapat terlihat pada nilai fuel ratio, dari nilai tersebut dapat diperkirakan apakah bahan bakar yang digunakan telah sesuai dengan produksinya. Oleh karena itu, peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian mengenai faktor mana yang lebih dominan mempengaruhi besarnya fuel ratio diantara kedua faktor tersebut.Dari hasil perhitungan didapat fuel ratio alat angkut terbesar pada lokasi I terbesar adalah 0.52 liter/bcm dan fuel ratio terkecil adalah 0.41 liter/bcm. Pada lokasi II, fuel ratio terbesar adalah 0.63 liter/bcm dan fuel ratio terkecil adalah 0.60 liter/bcm. Berdasarkan hasil analisa, diketahui perubahan fuel burn terhadap fuel ratio lebih dominan daripada pengaruh produksi terhadap fuel ratio.Dari pembahasan di atas diketahui bahwa fuel burn merupakan faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi nilai fuel ratio, baik pada lokasi I maupun pada lokasi II, dimana hal yang berkaitan dengan fuel burn antara lain adalah grade jalan dan kondisi alat angkut itu sendiri. Untuk menganalisis pengaruh grade jalan terhadap besarnya fuel ratio adalah dengan membagi data grade jalan ke dalam kelas data (yang bisa dilihat pada lampiran), termasuk membuat interval kelas yang selanjutnya data tersebut dianalisis dengan metode regresi linear, untuk memperoleh persamaan garis, dimana nilai grade jalan sebagai sumbu x dan nilai fuel ratio sebagai sumbu y. Kemudian dari seluruh persamaan regresi tadi kemudian dilakukan simulasi perubahan pada grade jalan.Berdasarkan simulasi yang telah dilakukan rata-rata perubahan nilai fuel ratio setiap perubahan 1% grade jalan adalah 0.000205 liter/bcm. Pada lokasi II, berdasarkan simulasi yang telah dilakukan rata-rata perubahan nilai fuel ratio setiap perubahan 1% grade jalan adalah 0.00061 liter/bcm. Kata kunci: Bahan Bakar, Grade, Fuel Ratio
