Authors: Li Chuan-dong , Huang Zhen-Guo , Sun Hong-liang , Wang Li-tao , Wang Yu-li 
Published: June 2021

Objectives:
To compare the efficacy and safety of pre-operative localization of ground glass nodule (GGN) using embolization microcoils and the locating needles designed for pulmonary nodules.

Methods:
From June 2019 to December 2020, 429 patients who received CT-guided localization of single GGN before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were enrolled. The diameter and depth of GGNs were 0.84 ± 0.39 cm and 1.66 ± 1.37 cm. Among 429 cases, the first 221 GGNs were marked with microcoils (the microcoil group), and the remaining 208 GGNs were marked with the locating needles designed for pulmonary nodules (the locating needle group). SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used to compare the marking success rate, marking time, marking-related complications between two groups. p values &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results:
The marking time in the microcoil group was longer than that in the locating needle group (11.1 ± 3.9 vs 8.2 ± 2.0 min, t = −7.87, p = 0.000). The marking success rate in the microcoil group was lower than that in the locating needle group (91.4% vs 98.6%, χ2 = 11.27, p = 0.001). In the microcoil group, marking failures included 16 cases of microcoil dislocation and 3 cases of unsatisfactory microcoil position, while all 3 cases of marking failure in the locating needle group were due to unsatisfactory anchor position. No significant differences in the incidence of total complications (23.1% vs 22.1%), pneumothorax (18.1% vs 19.2%), hemorrhage (9.5% vs 9.1%), and hemoptysis (1.8% vs 1.4%) were observed between the two groups. All the complications were minor and did not need special treatment. Except for one case in the microcoil group, which was converted to thoracotomy, the remaining 428 GGNs were successfully resected by VATS.

Conclusions:
It is safe and effective to perform pre-operative localization of GGN using either embolization microcoil or the locating needle designed for pulmonary nodules. The locating needle is superior to microcoil for marking GGN in terms of procedure time and the success rate. The complication rate of both methods is similar.

Advances in knowledge:
The locating needle designed for pulmonary nodules has recently been used to mark pulmonary nodule. Its structure can effectively avoid dislocation after localization, and the marking process is simple and quick. Compared with localization using microcoil, it takes less time and has higher success rate to mark GGNs using the locating needle. The complication rate of both methods is similar.
A qualitative assessment of the context and enabling environment for the control of Taenia solium infections in endemic settings
Authors: Ngwili Nicholas , Johnson Nancy , Wahome Raphael , Githigia Samuel , Roesel Kristina , Thomas Lian 
Published: June 2021

Background
Taenia solium (T. solium), is a zoonotic helminth causing three diseases namely; taeniasis (in humans), neurocysticercosis (NCC, in humans) and porcine cysticercosis (PCC, in pigs) and is one of the major foodborne diseases by burden. The success or failure of control options against this parasite in terms of reduced prevalence or incidence of the diseases may be attributed to the contextual factors which underpin the design, implementation, and evaluation of control programmes.

Methodology/Principal findings
The study used a mixed method approach combining systematic literature review (SLR) and key informant interviews (KII). The SLR focused on studies which implemented T. solium control programmes and was used to identify the contextual factors and enabling environment relevant to successful inception, planning and implementation of the interventions. The SLR used a protocol pre-registered at the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) number CRD42019138107 and followed PRISMA guidelines on reporting of SLR. To further highlight the importance and interlinkage of these contextual factors, KII were conducted with researchers/implementers of the studies included in the SLR. The SLR identified 41 publications that had considerations of the contextual factors. They were grouped into efficacy (10), effectiveness (28) and scale up or implementation (3) research studies. The identified contextual factors included epidemiological, socioeconomic, cultural, geographical and environmental, service and organizational, historical and financial factors. The enabling environment was mainly defined by policy and strategies supporting T. solium control.

Conclusion/Significance
Failure to consider the contextual factors operating in target study sites was shown to later present challenges in project implementation and evaluation that negatively affected expected outcomes. This study highlights the importance of fully considering the various domains of the context and integrating these explicitly into the plan for implementation and evaluation of control programmes. Explicit reporting of these aspects in the resultant publication is also important to guide future work. The contextual factors highlighted in this study may be useful to guide future research and scale up of disease control programmes and demonstrates the importance of close multi-sectoral collaboration in a One Health approach.

Authors: Chen Po-Yueh , Chen Tzu-Ying , Chao Pin-Zhir , Liu Wen-Te , Bai Chyi-Huey , Tsao Sheng-Teng , Lin Yi-Chih 
Published: June 2021

Background
In recent population-based case-control studies, sleep apnea was significantly associated with a higher incidence (hazard ratio, 1.71) of vertigo and the risk of tinnitus was found to increase 1.36 times in patients with sleep apnea. The possibility that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might affect neurotological consequences was not noticed, until studies using polysomnography (PSG) for these patients.

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between vertigo and OSA.

Methods
The collected data among patients from May 1st, 2018 to October 31th, 2018 at Shuang Ho Hospital. Eligibility criteria included an age older than 20 years, a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. The diagnosis of OSA was defined as an oxygen desaturation index of at least 5, was established with the use of polysomnographic examination at hospital. Patients were excluded from the study if they had head injury, brain tumour, headache history and hearing loss. Patients who had vertigo were labeled as Vertigo group. In the other hand, patients who had no dizziness were labeled as control group. 58 patients were in the Vertigo group, and 113 were in the control group.

Results
After PSG examination, 58 patients who had vertigo, were diagnosed OSA (29 males, average age = 57.07 years old, BMI = 26.64, RDI = 24.69, ESS = 8.65), and 24 patients of them (41.3%) were REM-related OSA. Meanwhile, in the control group, 113 patients had OSA (92male, average age = 49.66 years old, BMI = 26.06, RDI = 35.19, ESS = 11.43), and 18 patients of them (15.9%) were REM-related OSA (Table 1). Therefore, patient who had vertigo, would have higher proportion of REM OSA (P<0.001).

Conclusions
The vertigo patients have a higher rate of REM-related OSA, and the acceptance rate to CPAP use is low. Further research is needed to explore novel therapeutic approaches, or combination of currently available non-CPAP therapies, in patients with REM OSA.

Authors: Ridder Jacob Jan de , Sassmannshausen Leonhard 
Published: June 2021

AbstractIn this study, a fragment from the Hilprecht Collection in Jena will be discussed. The tablet was previously identified as Middle Babylonian and published as TMH NF 5, 59. Closer inspection reveals Middle Assyrian palaeography. The fragmentary tablet deals with metals used for precious objects and was part of a larger inventory or letter. Noteworthy is a reference to iron, a metal rarely attested in Kassite Nippur but better known from the archaeological material and philological evidence from the Middle Assyrian Empire. An overview of philological evidence for iron in 2ndmillennium Assyria will be given in this study.
Promoting positive emotions among university EFL learners
Authors: Reilly Peter 
Published: June 2021

AbstractResearch indicates that investigation into the role of emotions during the process of second language acquisition (SLA) has lagged behind the work of educational psychologists. Experts in the area of achievement emotions have suggested that SLA researchers have limited their examination mostly to the role of anxiety and enjoyment. Consequently, an action research project was carried out, first, to determine whether emotions in addition to anxiety and enjoyment tend to arise when learning a second language (L2). Second, 13 advanced English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at a university in Mexico participated in 4 tasks as part of their class over the first 9 weeks of the semester, and subsequently were interviewed about their emotional experience. The tasks included a 45-s mindfulness activity, a reflection designed to promote a growth mindset, a discussion of a famous bilingual individual, and free voluntary reading. The findings revealed that a variety of achievement emotions emerged during the course, and in particular, in response to the learning tasks. It was concluded that not only can SLA researchers benefit from the strides made in psychology regarding emotions, but also that L2 educators should help L2 students experience pleasant achievement emotions by including activities of the sort described in this study.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) or fluoride ion corrosion issues are often encountered in many fields, which have attracted extensive research due to its strong corrosiveness. In this paper, a critical review is presented based on recent progress on HF corrosion. In view of the discrepancy of fluoride ion compared with other ions, the special attack characteristics of fluoride ion are firstly discussed. Afterwards, the corrosion mechanisms of stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, and titanium alloys in HF solution or fluoride ion-containing environment are reviewed, and three typical corrosion behaviors are summarized, which are essentially weakening process of passivation of metallic materials. The effects of influencing factors (e.g. alloying elements, environmental factors, and stress, etc.) on HF corrosion are also discussed, which involve changes in passivation mechanism, the influence of HF attack mode and multiple damage mechanisms due to mechanical–chemical coupling. Finally, future research works on HF corrosion are proposed.

Authors: Lotfi Saeedeh , Roshani Saeed , Roshani Sobhan , Shirzadian Gilan Maryam 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This paper presents a new Doherty power amplifier (DPA) with harmonics suppression. A Wilkinson power divider (WPD) with open-ended and short-ended stubs is designed to suppress unwanted signals. To design the power divider in the circuit of the DPA, even and odd mode analyses are utilized. The proposed design operates at range of 1.2–1.6 GHz. The linearity of the suggested DPA is increased about 6 dBm, in comparison with the main amplifier. The designed Doherty amplifier has a power added efficiency (PAE), drain efficiency (DE) and Gain about 60, 61% and 19 dB, respectively. The designed WPD suppresses 2nd up to 14th harmonics with more than 20 dB suppression level, which is useful for suppressing unwanted harmonics in DPA design. ATF-34143 transistors (pHEMT technology) are used for this DPA amplifier design. The main amplifier has class-F topology and class-F inverse topology is used for auxiliary amplifier.
Liberating Hope in the Context of Pediatric Care at the End of Life
Authors: Champagne Elaine 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The spiritual care of dying children and their families requires both sensitivity and competence. Parents – and adults, in general – not only recognize an intrinsic value in children, but also see them as important symbols of hope and as promise for the future. Hence, hope may be challenged when a child is facing death. From the field of spiritual and practical theology, this research attempts to correlate the experience of children and families, and Christian sources on hope. Particular attention is given to the importance of bodies and space, desires and fears, as well as to the role of narratives in order to deepen the meaning of hope in situations that seem bereft of it.
Moving Beyond the Clerical Paradigm: Practical Theology in the Korean Context
Authors: Kim Hyun-Sook 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Over the past few decades, practical theologians in Korea have devised a framework to address important issues, correlating theory and practice and bridging the divide between pastors and lay people to facilitate open communication. However, the clerical paradigm has deep roots in Korean culture and ideology, which, combined with the Confucian patriarchal system, poses a challenge to Korean practical theology. These factors cause practical theology to reflect on its limitations and to move toward a hermeneutical-praxis paradigm by dealing with Christian praxis, connecting church with society for public responsibility, and providing an egalitarian leadership between pastors and lay people.

Geburtshilfliche Versorgung von Frauen ohne Krankenversicherung in Deutschland
Authors: Michel-Schuldt Michaela , Heusermann Gila 
Published: June 2021

Zusammenfassung
In Deutschland leben schätzungsweise 60,000 Menschen ohne Krankenversicherung, darunter auch Frauen im reproduktiven Alter. Diese schwangeren Frauen, Gebärende und deren Kinder sind einem erhöhten gesundheitlichen Risiko ausgesetzt. Um deren Versorgung sicherzustellen, bieten Hebammen und Gynäkolog*innen als Teil eines interdisziplinären Teams ehrenamtlich und unentgeltlich Dienste an. Auch wenn solche regionalen Lösungen existieren, müssen bundesweite Regelungen entwickelt und umgesetzt werden.

Versorgung durch Hebammen in der reproduktiven Lebensphase von Frauen in Deutschland
Authors: Bauer Nicola H. , Luksch Kristina 
Published: June 2021

Zusammenfassung
In Deutschland hat jede Frau während Schwangerschaft, Geburt, Wochenbett und Stillzeit einen gesetzlichen Anspruch auf Hebammenhilfe. Hebammen fungieren als Primärversorger*innen und verfolgen einen präventiven und gesundheitsförderlichen Ansatz. Insbesondere Familien in herausfordernden Situationen könnten hiervon profitieren. Eine flächendeckende Versorgung mit Hebammenhilfe ist momentan aufgrund des nicht niederschwelligen Zugangs sowie eines Hebammenmangels nicht sichergestellt – insbesondere zum Nachteil von Frauen und Familien in belastenden Lebenslagen.

Published: June 2021

Zusammenfassung
Empirische Studien dokumentieren Respektlosigkeit und Gewalt in der Geburtshilfe als globales Phänomen. Respektlosigkeit und Gewalt in der Geburtshilfe können das Wohlbefinden von Frauen und ihren Familien langfristig über den Zeitraum der Geburt hinaus beeinträchtigen. Um dies zu vermeiden, müssen nationale gesundheitspolitische Strategien die Wichtigkeit respektvoller Betreuung für eine qualitativ hochwertige Geburtshilfe anerkennen.
Proto-Slavic *ū-stems and the Polabian language
Authors: Janczulewicz Paweł 
Published: June 2021

Summary
The paper deals with the issues (both inflectional and word-formational) of Proto-Slavic *ū-stems in the Polabian corpus. The aim of the paper is to identify all Polabian words continuing the *ū-declension class and accompany them with comprehensive linguistic and, when necessary, philological comments. As it turns out, some words, regarded as Polabian innovations, are in fact archaisms, as evidenced by comparative data. A new explanation of heteroclitic stems (Nsg -o vs. NApl -våi̯) is proposed involving a well-known Polabian sound change (*Kvo > Ko), which is somewhat elaborated.
Uzbekistan – A Region of World Society? Variants of Differentiation in Agricultural Resources Governance
Authors: Hornidge Anna-Katharina , Van Assche Kristof , Shtaltovna Anastasiya 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThis article studies the layered coexistence and mutual shaping of three forms of differentiation (functional, segmentary, hierarchical) in rural Uzbekistan, a region of world society that, since 1991, is undergoing tremendous processes of socio-economic transformation and change. More precisely, we analyse the evolving governance of land, water and agricultural support services (knowledge & advice) in the Uzbek province of Khorezm, where currently three types of farms utilise various social practices to navigate a complex and partly opaque environment marked by various forms of differentiation, each posing different opportunities, threats and coordination mechanisms (institutions). In doing so, the article builds on Rudolf Stichweh’s considerations of world society’s structural patterns, its ‘Eigenstructures’ as well as Niklas Luhmann’s conceptualisation of world society’s autopoietically closed function systems. Based on ethnographic research, we argue that the mobilisation of patron-client relationships, a complex system of coercive reciprocity and a trilogy of formal, strategic and discursive practices are widely employed to cope with the coexistence of an undermined layer of functional differentiation and reaffirmed/reinvented segmentary and hierarchical identities. We argue that the skilful navigation by local actors between these different differentiation forms and their demands, embodies a short-term adaptation strategy that is likely to hamper a (re-)crystallisation of autonomous functional domains. Hampering functional differentiation jeopardises long-term change adaptation.
Regional Variationsofand Regional VariationswithinFunctional Differentiation – The Middle East and World Society
Authors: Albert Mathias , Stetter Stephan 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThis article highlights the territorial and functional embedding of world regions within a functionally differentiated world society, as well as the heterogeneity between different (local) practices of functional differentiation within world regions. Its argument proceeds in two steps. In a first step, it discusses the distinction between regional variationsoffunctional differentiation versus regional variationswithinfunctional differentiation as an important tool in order to characterize specific variations of structural patterns. In a second step it turns to the Middle Eastern case, arguing that while at first glance this may be a candidate for a regional variation of functional differentiation, a closer look reveals that it has been characterized by a very specific variationwithinfunctional differentiation for quite a while. The article concludes by using these observations for some thoughts on the functional differentiation of world society more generally.
Designing Improvisation in Privacy Protection for Personalized Web Search using deep learning approach
Authors: Bhandare Ms. Sushama K , Kapse Dr. Avinash S. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract—Personalized web search (PWS) has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving the quality of various search services on the Internet. However, evidences show that users’ reluctance to disclose their private information during search has become a major barrier for the wide proliferation of PWS. We study privacy protection in PWS applications that model user preferences as hierarchical user profiles. We propose a PWS framework called UPS that can adaptively generalize profiles by queries while respecting user- specified privacy requirements. Our runtime generalization aims at striking a balance between two predictive metrics that evaluate the utility of personalization and the privacy risk of exposing the generalized profile. We present two greedy algorithms, namely GreedyDP and GreedyIL, for runtime generalization. We also provide an online prediction mechanism for deciding whether personalizing a query is beneficial. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework. The experimental results also reveal that GreedyIL significantly outperforms GreedyDP in terms of efficiency.
