Published: October 2024

AbstractThe development of pseudoaneurysms increases with time since the original operation, with incidence 0.2 to 25%. The axillofemoral bypass is employed to treat selective aortoiliac obstructions. Rarely, it is used in reverse form and always for treatment of occlusive arterial disease. We report a para-anastomotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm and add to the literature a successful hybrid treatment, with bilateral femoroaxillary bypasses, thromboexclusion of all supra-aortic trunks, and aortic arch covering with an endograft.
Success in Diverticulitis Management: What Outcomes Really Matter?
Authors: Hawkins Alexander T. , Ueland Thomas E. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAchieving optimal outcomes is a universal goal among health care providers. However, disagreement often arises when selecting and measuring endpoints as markers of care performance. In diverticulitis, this task is complicated by variability in clinical presentation and existence of multiple evidence-based therapeutic options. The aim of this review is to summarize trends and challenges in outcomes measurement for diverticulitis. We discuss historical origins and compare existing frameworks for classifying outcomes. Next, focus is directed to an exploration of important outcomes through clinical controversies: antibiotics for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis, colectomy with primary anastomosis for acute complicated diverticulitis, and elective colectomy for recurrent diverticulitis. Finally, we review recommendations supporting case-by-case decision-making and implications for clinicians, in addition to ongoing international efforts to standardize outcomes that matter for common diseases.

Published: October 2024

AbstractTraumatic middle meningeal artery aneurysm (TMMA) is a rare condition and a known cause of several different bleeding patterns after head injury. Once detected, they need to be treated as an emergency due to their potential for morbidity and mortality. Generally, recurrence does not occur in surgery for acute epidural hematoma if adequate hemostasis is achieved. Here, we report a case of atypical postoperative recurrence of an acute epidural hematoma, possibly due to the development and rupture of a TMMA. A 41-year-old man with left acute epidural hematoma after a head injury was referred to our hospital. Emergency craniotomy was performed immediately, and the hematoma was removed. The source of the bleeding was near the fracture site in the middle cranial fossa, and sufficient hemostasis was confirmed. However, a head computed tomography (CT) scan the next day revealed a recurrence of the acute epidural hematoma. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiogram showed an aneurysm with a diameter of approximately 4 mm in the left middle meningeal artery. The recurrence of the acute epidural hematoma appeared to be related to the formation and a rupture of a middle meningeal artery aneurysm, and to prevent subsequent rebleeding, the patient underwent reoperation, and the hematoma and aneurysm were removed. In surgery for acute epidural hematoma, recurrence can be prevented by removing the hematoma and ensuring hemostasis. Although conventional surgery was performed in this case, a repeat of epidural hematoma occurred. A postoperative middle meningeal artery aneurysm had been thought to have developed, ruptured, and caused a repeat epidural hematoma.In treating acute epidural hematoma, a TMMA development should be considered when an atypical clinical course occurs, such as a recurrence of postoperative bleeding.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed at comparatively assessing the effect of different magnification levels on the immediate postoperative quality of class I direct posterior composite restorations and the adjacent sound enamel.
Materials and Methods Following the modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trails (CONSORT) guidelines for in vitro studies, 30 noncarious maxillary human molars were selected. Standardized class I tooth preparation was done in all the teeth. They were randomly divided into three groups: unaided vision, magnifying loupe (3× magnification), and dental operating microscope (7.5× magnification). Each group underwent direct composite restoration, and the restored samples were evaluated for anatomic contour, surface texture, marginal integrity, excess material, and scratching of the adjacent sound enamel.
Statistical analysis The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the post-hoc Mann-Whitney test were employed.
Results Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in anatomic contour, surface texture, marginal integrity, or excess material among the three groups. However, a notable difference was observed in the scratching of adjacent sound enamel, with the unaided vision group exhibiting significantly higher levels than the microscope group (p = 0.022).
Conclusion Direct composite restorations performed without magnification resulted in significantly higher adjacent sound enamel scratching than microscope-assisted procedures. The use of a dental operating microscope may minimize this risk, emphasizing its potential benefits in composite restorations.
Do kindergartens mitigate or exacerbate socioeconomic inequalities in language exposure? The case of home-based and kindergarten-based shared book reading activities in China
Authors: Cui Shujing , Greger David 
Published: October 2024

AbstractShared book reading is a well-established practice for boosting children’s language exposure and enhancing early development at home and in child care settings. The present study examined the socioeconomic gaps in home-based and kindergarten-based shared book reading practices in China. The participants were 1095 parents and 111 teachers in 69 classes from kindergartens in Chongqing, China. Differences in terms of the quantity of both home-based and kindergarten-based shared book reading across SES spectrums were tested. Multi-level modelling was conducted to examine the factors associated with the quantity of home-based and kindergarten-based shared book reading. The results revealed that the socioeconomic gap in home-based shared book reading and the resultant language exposure were significant. Family SES and home literacy resources were associated with the quantity of home-based shared book reading and the availability of literacy resources in the classroom is associated with the quantity of kindergarten-based shared book reading. Kindergartens did not mitigate the socioeconomic inequities of language exposure related to shared book reading. Intervention programs shall focus on improving access to both home-based and kindergarten-based literacy materials.
Less than one percent of words would be affected by gender-inclusive language in German press texts

Published: October 2024

AbstractResearch on gender and language is tightly knitted to social debates on gender equality and non-discriminatory language use. Psycholinguistic scholars have made significant contributions in this field. However, corpus-based studies that investigate these matters within the context of language use are still rare. In our study, we address the question of how much textual material would actually have to be changed if non-gender-inclusive texts were rewritten to be gender-inclusive. This quantitative measure is an important empirical insight, as a recurring argument against the use of gender-inclusive German is that it supposedly makes written texts too long and complicated. It is also argued that gender-inclusive language has negative effects on language learners. However, such effects are only likely if gender-inclusive texts are very different from those that are not gender-inclusive. In our corpus-linguistic study, we manually annotated German press texts to identify the parts that would have to be changed. Our results show that, on average, less than 1% of all tokens would be affected by gender-inclusive language. This small proportion calls into question whether gender-inclusive German presents a substantial barrier to understanding and learning the language, particularly when we take into account the potential complexities of interpreting masculine generics.
Extended human agency: towards a teleological account of AI
Authors: Noller Jörg 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper analyzes human-machine interrelation concerning artificial neuronal networks (ANNs) from a teleological point of view. The paper argues that AI cannot be understood adequately in terms of subjectivity or objectivity but rather as a new kind of teleological relationship that holds between human and artificial performances of intelligence. Thereby, AI is understood as an enactivist extension of human agency, both in instrumental and moral terms. This hybrid account will be distinguished from four alternative accounts of human-machine relations: (i) the simulation account, according to which AI simulates human rationality; (ii) the instrumentalist account, according to which AI is just a tool; (iii) the anthropomorphic account, according to which AI is human-like; and (iv) the indifference account, according to which AI will merge with human rationality due to technological progress. Against these four accounts, the paper argues for a teleological account of AI as extended human agency that is part of the human lifeworld. By focusing on the teleological interrelation of socially grounded databases and algorithms, the paper finally develops an account of responsible AI that considers its specific relatedness with human actions, purposes, and intentions by means of language. Understanding human-machine relations in terms of extended agency finally allows to tackle the question of how to avoid the problems of AI bias and opacity.
120 years of reporting clauses
Authors: Ebeling Jarle 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Introducing the Corpus of British Fiction, this paper studies the development and functions
of expansions in the form of manner adverbs and ‑ing clauses within reporting clauses. The
investigation shows that the use of single adverbs to modify the reporting verb has not increased in line with the
increased use of say as a reporting verb. The opposite is the case with ing-clause
expansions, as the use of these is stable or on the rise in the 120 years covered by the corpus. The study contains a
diachronic, mostly unsupervised quantitative part and a synchronic qualitative part, including manual scrutiny of the
functions of the expansions under study.1
When is non-writing writing? or, When is writing non-writing?
Authors: Daniels Peter T. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
It was easy to say that writing was invented out of nothing three times (that we can be sure of), in Sumer, China,
and Mesoamerica. That syllables were important in those inventions emerged from attention to modern inventions of writing. But in
recent years, specialists in Mesopotamian and Mesoamerican texts have been uncovering details about the development of cuneiform
and glyphs that, perhaps surprisingly, prove to be comparable and mutually illuminating. In both cases, it seems legitimate to say
that the earliest forms did not yet represent the actual writing of specific languages (
Writing
:
A system of more or less permanent marks used to represent an utterance in such a way that it can be recovered more or
less exactly without the intervention of the utterer). Chinese writing, even though we cannot observe any essential
changes in the system from its earliest known examples to the present day, also proves to have something to
contribute, in the wake of a comparative study of how Chinese writing was adapted for writing neighboring (and unrelated)
languages. And even half a century of experience with a semiotic system designed to be alinguistic, “Blissymbolics,” has something
to tell us about non-writing turning into writing.
Segments and syllables in Hangeul and Thaana
Authors: Gnanadesikan Amalia E. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper compares the little-known writing system Thaana, used for the Maldivian language, with Hangeul, used
for Korean. Both were intentional inventions by native speakers in early modern times, and both contain some unique features. Both
are segmental in their representation while also arranging their letters into higher-order structures: syllables or CV groupings.
These structures obey well-formedness constraints that are well known from the study of phonological (spoken) syllables. This
paper argues that the operation of these constraints is evidence that these writing systems employ a grammar, which is analyzed
here using Optimality Theory. Thaana and Hangeul use the same syllabification constraints, but the rankings differ between the two
systems. The rankings also differ between each writing system and its related spoken language. This paper adds to the growing body
of research that applies the tools of linguistic analysis to writing systems and finds evidence of grammar in their structure.
Assessing the restorative effects of observing a video of dog play in urban dog parks using EEG
Authors: Lee Hyung-Sook , Lee Jeong-Yeon 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Contact with nature is restorative and leads to health benefits via
nearby nature
such as gardens, natural scenes, and interactions with companion animals. Although the recovery effect of natural environments is well known, few studies examine the restorative value of watching animals in urban park settings such as off-leash dog areas in urban parks. This study aims to investigate the restorative effect of observing dog play in urban dog parks by measuring brain activity, emotional state, and perceived restorativeness. Brain activity and psychological responses were measured by electroencephalography (EEG) and the perceived restorativeness scale (PRS)/profile of mood states, respectively. The EEG results demonstrated that the dog play video produced significantly lower alpha and higher beta power spectra, which suggested that the subjects were attentive and focused by accepting the scene as an interesting stimulus. Among the subscales of the PRS, fascination plays an important role in the restorative effects of watching dog play. The subjects felt more lively, cheerful, and interested than they did when watching the city and natural view videos. Thus, the perceived restorative values of watching dog play video in dog parks are comparable to those of natural park video environments. Moreover, dog parks exerted positive effects regardless of dog ownership status by improving mood and enhancing restorative experience. Opportunities for watching dog play in safe places around dog parks through considerable park planning would extend the health benefits of dog parks to non-dog owners and improve negative attitudes toward dog parks.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Piezoelectric energy harvesting technology is a promising strategy for powering wireless sensor networks. However, piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs), especially linear PEHs, usually have narrow operating frequency bandwidth. In this study, in order to broaden frequency bandwidth, a nonlinear multi-stable magnetically induced PEH array (MPEHA) with asymmetric potential wells is proposed. Specifically, the proposed MPEHA is consisted of piezoelectric energy harvesting technique, multi-resonance array technique and magnetic force based nonlinear technique. Both theoretical and experimental studies are conducted to investigate the energy performance and to analyze the dynamic characteristics of MPEHA with snap-through motions among the multiple stable positions. As for theoretical study, a mathematic model of the potential function of the proposed harvester is established and the influence of magnetic force on the potential well configuration is quantitively investigated. As for experimental study, experiments including open-circuit voltage experiment and capacitance charging experiment are conducted using MPEHA with three-beam arrays. Our experimental study demonstrates that MPEHA has better performance than the traditional PEHA due to the magnetic coupling effect. Under excitation acceleration of 3 m s−2, the performance of bi-stable MPEHA is improved by 80.2%, compared with PEHA.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Bio-inspired adhesives have been widely studied in various fields, including attachment and grasping technologies in sea, land, air, and space. However, current research primarily focuses on static and quasi-static scenarios, necessitating further exploration in achieving adhesion on high-speed moving objects, such as railroads and automobiles. In this study, we explore a representative adhesive system comprising a fibrillar adhesive layer and a backing structure contacting with a smooth substrate in high-speed airflow. The investigation into adhesion performance was conducted by finite element analysis, theoretical analysis, and experimental approaches. Our findings indicate that the impact of high-speed airflow on microfiber structure deformation primarily manifests within the initial 1–2 rows on the windward side, yet remains insufficient to significantly influence adhesion. The adhesion capacity of the adhesive composite in high-speed airflow is mainly determined by the elastic modulus of the backing structure and the deformation offset, exhibiting a straightforward linear relationship with their product. Moreover, an optimization strategy of adding a cowling to the adhesive composite with soft backing was proposed to preserve its high loading capacity. These findings present a comprehensive understanding of the loading mechanism of fibrillar adhesive composite in high-speed airflow and provide new insights into robust reversible adhesion design for related technologies.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Due to their capacity to simulate intricate dynamic systems containing memory effects and non-local interactions, fractional differential equations have attracted a great deal of attention lately. This study examines multi-term fractional differential equations with variable type delay with the goal of illuminating their complex dynamics and analytical characteristics. The introduction to fractional calculus and the justification for its use in many scientific and technical domains sets the stage for the remainder of the essay. It describes the importance of including variable type delay in differential equations and then applying it to model more sophisticated and realistic behaviours of real-world phenomena. The research study then presents the mathematical formulation of variable type delay and multi-term fractional differential equations. The system’s novelty stems from its unique combination of variable delay, generalized multi terms fractional differential operators (n and m), and integral implicit parameters, and studying the stability of the the newly formulated system as compared to the work in the existing literature. While the variable type delay is introduced as a function of time to describe instances where the delay is not constant, the fractional order derivatives are generated using the Caputo approach. The existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions are the main topics of the theoretical analysis of the suggested differential equations. In order to establish important mathematical features, the inquiry makes use of spectral techniques, and fixed-point theorems. The study finishes by summarizing the major discoveries and outlining potential future research avenues in this developing field. It highlights the potential contribution of multi-term fractional differential equations with variable type delay to improving the control and design of complex systems. Overall, this study adds to the growing body of knowledge in the field of fractional calculus and provides insightful information about the investigation of multi-term fractional differential equations with variable type delay, making it pertinent for academics and practitioners from a variety of fields.
Comprehensive study of epitaxial (Nd,Eu,Gd)Ba2Cu3O7−δ
films grown on textured templates
Authors: Shipulin Ilya A , Nielsch Kornelius , Hühne Ruben 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We report the successful epitaxial growth and comprehensive study of structural and superconducting properties of (Nd,Eu,Gd)Ba2Cu3O7−δ
films with a thickness of up to 1.2 μm prepared by on-axis pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO3 (STO) single crystals as well as on ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) and rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate (RABiTS)-based metal templates. X-ray diffraction demonstrates the epitaxial quality of the grown films on both single crystalline substrates and metal-based templates. In addition, no significant changes in surface morphology were found with increasing thickness for films on all types of substrates. On all substrates, a T
c value of about 89 K was observed, however, significant inhomogeneities indicating small superconducting volume were found for all films on STO. In general, the best transport characteristics over a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures were observed for thicker films on IBAD-MgO and RABiTS templates, respectively. The J
c values at 77 K for the films on IBAD-MgO templates are comparable to YBCO films, but inferior in the low temperature region and high magnetic fields, whereas the films on RABiTS and especially on STO showed much lower J
c over the entire temperature and magnetic field range. A maximum pinning force of about 7 GN·m−3 at 65 K was found for the 900 nm thick films on IBAD-MgO template. In addition, the pinning mechanism seems to depend on both temperature and type of substrate. In general, no correlation between local microstructure and transport characteristics was revealed for NEG films on both metal templates.
