Zusammenfassung
Einleitung Unter Frührehabilitation versteht man eine frühzeitig bei- oder nach akuter Erkrankung einsetzende, rehabilitationsmedizinische Behandlung die im § 39SGB V verankert ist. Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es, die Ergebnisqualität der pneumologischen Frührehabilitation zu untersuchen und darzustellen.
Methoden Prospektive Erhebung von funktionellen Parametern, Beatmungsstatus und Entlass-Disposition in einer spezialisierten Abteilung für pneumologische Frührehabilitation über den Zeitraum von einem Jahr.
Ergebnisse Von den 190 Patienten waren 179 (94,2 %) zuvor invasiv beatmet. Während einer Behandlungsdauer von 39 ± 17 Tagen stieg der FAM-Index von 84,4 ± 19,8 auf 118,5 ± 23,3 (Ci 30,9 – 37,3, Cohen’s d 1,58; p < 0,001), der Barthel-Index von 30,5 ± 13,8 auf 58,3 ± 16,2 (Ci 25,4 – 33,8, Cohen’s d 1,4; p < 0,001) und die Wegstrecke von 12,9 ± 40,1 m auf 131,4 ± 85,2 m (Ci 105,6 – 131,4 m, Cohen’s d 1,78; p < 0,001). Die Patienten wurden weniger häufig in eine weitere Anschlussheilbehandlung verlegt, wenn sie beatmet waren.
Diskussion Patienten in der pneumologischen Frührehabilitation sind bei Aufnahme schwer kompromittiert, es lässt sich aber eine sehr gute Ergebnisqualität erzielen, die unabhängig davon zu sein scheint, ob der Patient eigenständig atmet oder mittels nicht-invasiver oder invasiver Beatmung versorgt wird. Die weitere Disposition dieser Patienten ist vor allem dann schwierig, wenn eine Beatmung vorliegt.

Published: June 2021

AbstractDenosumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody, has been used for the treatment of osteoporosis, in complications resulting from bone metastatic disease and in giant cell tumor in both adults and skeletally mature adolescents. Denosumab is an inhibitor of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand and belongs to a new class of antiresorptive medications. We report a unique case of myopathy in a 13-year-old boy prescribed denosumab for enchondromatosis. The boy presented with hypovitaminosis D, elevated parathyroid hormone, suppressed alkaline phosphatase, hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia after a single dose of denosumab. Our case points to altered calcium–vitamin D homeostasis induced by denosumab. Myopathy associated with denosumab has not been described previously in children. Early recognition of myopathy and adequate supplementation with calcium–vitamin D may ensure a more favorable clinical outcome.

Published: June 2021

AbstractIn July 2018, the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, ANVISA, in Portuguese) published new regulations for food supplements, leading to changes both in the sales denomination and labeling statements, and in the composition of these products. Among dietary supplements, those containing vitamins are the most consumed by the population. The objective of the present work is to discuss the changes in the parameters established for the products containing vitamins, mainly in relation to the required and allowed concentrations of micronutrients, and to verify the impact of these changes for the population since the publication of the new standards. Until July 2018, vitamin-based products containing between 15% and 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of these micronutrients were classified as vitamin supplements; above this dosage, they were considered medicines. The new legislation changed the minimum and maximum limits allowed for vitamin food supplements. Taking into account the maximum vitamin limits established for adults, the most relevant differences were the increase in these limits in a proportion of 100, 76 and 43 times in regarding vitamins E, B6 and C respectively, when compared to those previously established. For the required minimum limits, the major difference was observed for vitamin D, with a four-fold increase in its concentration. In conclusion, changes in legislation can influence the health of the population, so the ideal amounts of vitamin in supplements and the recommendation to consume these products require extensive discussion and reflection.

Published: June 2021

In order to analyze the effect of surface modification of nano-POSS on the properties of epoxy resin from a microscopic point of view, a composite model of modified POSS/epoxy resin was established by the molecular dynamics method. The effects of POSS surface functional groups on the structure and thermodynamic properties of epoxy composites were studied. Results show that surface-modified nano-POSS had certain effects on the thermal and mechanical properties of the epoxy composite system. Specifically, nano-P-phenyl-POSS and nano-A-phenyl-POSS can improve the glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties of the epoxy composite system while reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion of the system. The thermal and mechanical properties of the EP/F-phenyl-POSS system hardly improved. Among these composite systems, the EP/P-phenyl-POSS system exhibits the best modification effect. Tg was increased by 7.1 K. Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus were increased by 6.28%, 6.90%, and 3.77%, respectively. The reason is that surface-modified nano-POSS can change the microstructure of the epoxy composite system to different degrees and improve its compatibility with epoxy base materials.
Impact of oxygen on gallium doped germanium
Authors: Kuganathan N. , Bracht H. , Davazoglou K. , Kipke F. , Chroneos A. 
Published: June 2021

Germanium (Ge) has advantageous materials properties and is considered as a mainstream material for nanoelectronic applications. Understanding dopant–defect interactions is important to form well-defined doped regions for devices. Gallium (Ga) is a key p-type dopant in Ge. In the present density functional theory study, we concentrate on the structures and electronic structures of Ga doped Ge in the presence of Ge vacancies and oxygen. We provide information on the defect structures and charge transfer between the doped Ga atom and the nearest neighbor Ge atom. The calculations show that the presence of Ga on the Ge site facilitates the formation of nearest neighbor Ge vacancies at 0.75 eV. The formation of interstitial oxygen is endoergic with the formation of −2 charge in both bulk Ge and Ga substituted Ge although the substitution of Ga has slightly less impact on the oxygen interstitial formation.
Spectral Aphasia, Psychical Ghost Stories, and Spirit Post Offices: Three Modern Ghost Stories about Communication Infrastructures
Authors: Manning Paul 
Published: June 2021

AbstractNineteenth-century Spiritualism was a watershed moment in which many of the keywords of our communication vocabulary—“medium,” “channel,” and “communication” itself—were first given fleshly and ghostly form in the spiritualist séance, which early on was likened to a “spiritual telegraph.” Throughout this period, newfangled ghosts and communication infrastructures (including the telegraph, but also the equally novel postal service) developed in tandem. This article explores three such boundary genres of communication between the living and the dead: how the séance converted the “spectral aphasia” of haunted houses into the domestic séance; how ghosts of loved ones dying far away across the “phantasmal empire” turned the ghost from an actor to a message, working in tandem with telegrams and letters in the “psychical ghost story”; and lastly, how the American spiritualist press created “spirit post offices” to publish communications from the dead alongside ordinary postal “correspondence” from the living.
Cutting without Cutting Connection: The Semiotics of Power Patrols in Urban Tanzania
Authors: Degani Michael 
Published: June 2021

AbstractBefore the total cutoff of a household for unpaid electrical bills, and in anticipation of the violence it might precipitate, national power utility inspectors in Dar es Salaam have recourse to a gradient of ‘soft’ disconnections designed to signal good faith and encourage repayment. Drawing on a mixture of semiotics and exchange theory, this article argues that such soft disconnections may be understood as moments when the shared grounds of the household-utility relation—both the physical power network and social commitments it embodies—become figured, modified, and ultimately preserved in the face of urban postcolonial strain. Whereas semiosis is often thought of as a kind of infrastructural bridge that links sign to interpretant (or object to sign), the inspectors’ reflexively phatic signaling of common grounds highlights the thoroughly semiotic nature of infrastructure itself. More generally, the very presumption and preservation of shared grounds is a salutary alternative to the anti-relational violence and extinction that characterizes much of the contemporary world.
Qualia of Stress and Bodily Enregisterment in Ice Swimming
Authors: Lindfors Antti 
Published: June 2021

AbstractCombining an ethnographic account of the Finnish national pastime of ice swimming and its remediation through the Wim Hof Method with an analysis of media representations, this article expands linguistic and semiotic anthropological scholarship on the enregisterment of bodily and affective qualia by looking at how practitioners of this therapeutic technology elaborate on their corporeal and semiotic selves and the transformations of those selves after indulging in full-body contact with freezing cold water. Laying particular emphasis on stress as a discursive hub and an intensely circulating qualisign within vernacular and institutionalized health discourses, the article discusses how pedagogical ice swimming exegesis is contributing to the enregisterment of emergent forms of personhood through metasemiotic regimentations of the body that draw from natural and holistic as well as scientific and technical registers.
Support Vector Machine Tuning for Improving Four-Quadrant Emotion Prediction in Virtual Reality (VR) using Wearable Electrodermography (EDG)
Authors: Bulagang A F , Mountstephens J , Teo J 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Electrodermography (EDG) / Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) indicates the psychophysiological of emotion, EDG is an emerging signal used in the field of emotion classification aside from Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrocardiography (ECG). The Empatica E4 wearable device was used in collecting EDG signals and employed as the method in capturing the test subject’s physiological signal of their skin activity. This experiment had 10 participants that use a Virtual Reality (VR) headset for viewing video stimuli in 360 degrees while collecting the EDG signals. Python with Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used in processing the 10 subjects’ data. This paper aims to compare the accuracy of the SVM experiments with different parameters, different settings based on the data retrieved from the wearable. The emotions were classified into four distinct quadrants with inter-subject classifications yielding an accuracy of 54.3%, and intra-subject classification yielded an accuracy of 57.1% to 99.2%. The presented results show that it is possible to achieve results with higher accuracy when parameter tuning. Hence, promising results were demonstrated for emotion prediction in four quadrants using wearable EDG technology in virtual reality environments. This paper provides two contributions, the use of EDG signals in emotion prediction, and the parameter setting to increase the accuracy for SVM classification.

Abstract
In 2018, a test run with muons in the North Area at CERN was
performed, running parasitically downstream of the COMPASS
spectrometer. The aim of the test was to investigate the elastic
interactions of muons on atomic electrons, in an experimental
configuration similar to the one proposed by the project MUonE,
which plans to perform a very precise measurement of the
differential cross-section of the elastic interactions.

COMPASS was taking data with a 190 GeV π beam, stopped in a
tungsten beam dump: the muons from these π decays passed through
a setup including a graphite target followed by 10 planes of Si
tracker and a BGO crystal electromagnetic calorimeter placed at the
end of the tracker. The elastic scattering events were selected and
analysed, and compared to expectations from MonteCarlo
simulation. The agreement found was satisfactory and demonstrated
that measuring the angles of the outgoing particles, a clean sample
of elastic interaction could be identified.
Proximity-gated X-ray framing camera with gain uniformity
Authors: Fu W. , Long J. , Cai H. , Liu J. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
A novel proximity gated microchannel plate (MCP) framing camera has been designed and tested. The camera system consists of two basic components with a traveling wave microstrip photocathode gated proximity focusing X-ray image tube framing and electrical control system. The voltage of the phosphor screen, the strobe pulse of the MCP and the bias voltage of the MCP are all provided by the electronic control unit. The photocathode of image-converted tube consists of Au.Four line cathodes with a width of 12 mm and an interval of 4 mm are deposited onto the illuminated side of MCP. The camera's temporal record length is ∼1.5 ns. When the cathode is applied by a pulse with full width at half maximum of 190 ps and amplitude of -2.5 kV with -100 V bias, the temporal resolution is measured to be ∼62 ps. The gain uniformity of the cathode was characterized using a short X-ray pulse produced by a laser beam focused on a copper target. The results show that the MCP gain decreases by about 28% along the pulse direction, while the gain change perpendicular to the strip direction is within 5%.
Physical limitations of the Hohenberg–Mermin–Wagner theorem
Authors: Palle Grgur , Sunko D K 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The Hohenberg–Mermin–Wagner (HMW) theorem states that infrared (IR) fluctuations prevent long-range order which breaks continuous symmetries in two dimensions (2D), at finite temperatures. We note that the theorem becomes physically effective for superconductivity (SC) only for astronomical sample sizes, so it does not prevent 2D SC in practice. We systematically explore the sensitivity of the magnetic and SC versions of the theorem to finite-size and disorder effects. For magnetism, finite-size effects, disorder, and perpendicular coupling can all restore the order parameter at a non-negligible value of T
c equally well, making the physical reason for finite T
c sample-dependent. For SC, an alternative version of the HMW theorem is presented, in which the temperature cutoff is set by Cooper pairing, in place of the Fermi energy in the standard version. It still allows 2D SC at 2–3 times the room temperature when the interaction scale is large and Cooper pairs are small, the case with high-T
c SC in the cuprates. Thus IR fluctuations do not prevent 2D SC at room temperatures in samples of any reasonable size, by any known version of the HMW argument. A possible approach to derive mechanism-dependent upper bounds for SC T
c is pointed out.

Authors: Fachri M , Supriana T , Baharuddin M 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Shrimp is one of commodity that has a great demand by consumers both domestically and abroad as an export commodity. There are 2 types of shrimp that are cultivated in North Sumatra, namely Vannamei shrimp and tiger prawns. Cultivation of Vannamei shrimp has grown rapidly, replacing tiger prawns’ cultivation. The objective of the study is to analyse the affecting production factors for cultivating Vannamei shrimp. The research location was determined purposively in Medang Deras District, as it is one of the production centres for Vannamei shrimp. The entire population in the study area was sampled (using the census method). The multiple linear regression analysis method is used to analyse the data that has been collected through a survey using a questionnaire. The results showed that simultaneously, the feed amount, fry number, medicine amount and lime amount significantly affected the production. And partially, the feed amount, medicine amount and lime amount also significantly affected the production, while the fry number insignificantly affected the Vannamei shrimp production. The food amount significantly affected the production with the greatest coefficient value. The lime application at the research location was crucial because it negatively affected the Vannamei shrimp production.
