Deferred reference, meaning transfer or coercion? Toward a new principle of accounting for systematic uses of proper names
Authors: Kijania-Placek Katarzyna 
Published: July 2024

AbstractProper names are typically considered to be devices of individual reference. Since Frege (1882), the debate has mainly concerned the proper semantic characteristics of this individual reference. Burge (J Philos 70:425–439, 1973) challenged this focus by highlighting the predicative uses of proper names and proposed that names are predicates even if they appear as bare singulars in the argument position. In turn, this unificatory account was subjected to criticism by Böer, Jeshion, and others, who provided counterexamples to the predicativist analysis of proper names. In this paper, I want to analyze the nonreferential uses of proper names, which, by being nonreferential, provide a challenge for both predicativism and referentialism about proper names. I critically examine the processes proposed as possible accounts of the problematic examples, i.e. deferred reference, meaning transfer, and coercion, and argue that they do not provide an adequate analysis. I propose an interpretive mechanism that accounts for these problematic uses of proper names, as well as a new principle for classifying the kinds of uses of proper names based on the interpretive mechanisms underlying those uses and which includes all of the kinds of uses discussed in the literature.

Authors: Garber Adam M. , Vu T. Robert , Orr Andrew , Adams William , Anderson Irsk , Fitz Matthew , Ferris Allison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
The acting internship (AI) in internal medicine plays a key role in the transition from medical school to residency. While there have been recent changes in medical education including a pass/fail USMLE Step 1 and increasing use of competency-based assessment, there has not been a large survey of the state of the AI in many years.

Objective
To assess the current landscape of the internal medicine AI and identify areas in need of standardization.

Design
This was a voluntary online survey of medical schools in the United States (U.S.).

Participants
Course directors of the AI rotation at U.S. medical schools.

Main Measures
Number of AI rotations required for graduation, length of AI rotation, types of services allowed for AI, clinical responsibilities of students, curricular components.

Key Results
Response rate was 50.7% (71/140 LCME accredited schools). All responding institutions require at least one AI for graduation, with nearly all schools integrating students into resident teaching teams, and almost half also allowing AI students to work on hospitalist services. Students carry 3–4 patients per day on average with a maximum of 5–6 in most institutions. Students are responsible for most aspects of patient care including notes, orders, interprofessional communication, and transitions of care. Night call or night float responsibilities are infrequently required. The structured curriculum published by AAIM is used by only 41% of schools.

Conclusions
The internal medicine AI continues to be a staple in the medical school experience, but there is variation in the structure, curriculum, and expectations on the rotation. Opportunities exist to improve standardization of the AI experience and expectations to better prepare medical students for the transition from medical school to residency.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
Lung cancer is a common cause of brain metastases, approximately 40% of patients with lung cancer will develop brain metastases at some point during their disease. Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) has been demonstrated to be effective in controlling limited brain metastases. However, there is still no conclusive on the optimal segmentation of HSRT. The aim of our study was to explore the correlation between the HSRT dosage and its treatment effect and toxicity.

Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastasis at Hangzhou Cancer Hospital from 1 January 2019 to 1 January 2021. The number of brain metastases did not exceed 10 in all patients and the number of fractions of HSRT was 5. The prescription dose ranges from 25 to 40 Gy. The Kaplan–Meier method was used for estimation of the localised intracranial control rate (iLC). Adverse radiation effects (AREs) were evaluated according to CTCAE 5.0. This study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Review Board of the Hangzhou Cancer Hospital (#73/HZCH-2022).

Results
Forty eligible patients with a total of 70 brain metastases were included in this study. The 1-year iLC was 76% and 89% in the prescribed dose ≤ 30 Gy and > 30 Gy group, respectively (P < 0.05). For patients treated with HSRT combined with targeted therapy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy, the 1-year iLC was 89%, 100%, and 45%, respectively. No significant associations were observed between the number, maximum diameter, location, and type of pathology of brain metastases. The rate of all-grade AREs was 33%. Two patients who received a total dose of 40 Gy developed grade 3 headache, the rest of the AREs were grade 1–2.

Conclusions
Increasing the prescription dose of HSRT improves treatment effect but may also exacerbate the side effects. Systemic therapy might impact the iLC rate, and individualized treatment regimens need to be developed.

Furthermore, given the continuously changing landscape of sustainable business, certain conclusions may be outdated.
Application of High-Frequency Intelligent Sensing Network in Monitoring and Early Warning of Water Quality Dynamic Change
Authors: Qian Ping , Liu Gang 
Published: July 2024

AbstractBy implementing a high-frequency intelligent network of sensors, this work explores continuous monitoring and alerting for dynamic changes in water quality. Life depends on water, yet pollution is a greater menace. For this reason, precautions and careful observation are necessary. Typically, the focus on conventional water quality system monitoring is too much on data collection and needs more on analysis and extraction, limiting its capacity to offer thorough solutions. Making informed decisions becomes more complicated when there are discrepancies like damaged data, loss from power outages, or transmission issues. The proposed High-Frequency Intelligent Sensing Network (HFISN) monitoring system uses cloud computing, IoT and Big data technologies for intelligent sensing. Researchers developed it to address various challenges. Researchers recommend Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) Sensor installation to enhance the system’s performance and facilitate better monitoring of sedimentation, particle issues, and water purity. This sensor makes it possible to make more informed decisions by expanding the platform’s dataset. The solution not only resolves data cleaning and analysis issues but also includes intelligent early-warning capabilities for timely alerts. Quantum Cloud (QC) technology is employed to enhance security and accessibility. Test findings confirm its robustness with extra features and a built-in turbidity sensor. Because the platform ensures data accuracy and dependability, it provides decision-makers with a solid foundation to protect water resources.
Stable Stratified Correlation and Linear Negative Correlation Between Serum Albumin and Risk of All-Cause Death in Patients with Ischaemic Stroke
Authors: Xu Gaihong , Zhang Juan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Aims
To assess the correlation between serum albumin and all-cause death in patients with ischaemic stroke.

Methods
In this prospective cohort study, a total of 1000 patients with ischemic stroke were included. Multivariate Cox regression analysis, subgroup analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot were used to assess the association between serum albumin and all-cause death in patients with ischaemic stroke.

Results
A total of 272 patients with ischemic stroke died during a median follow-up of 25 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of all-cause death in patients with albumin at T2 (40–43 g/L) and T3 (>43 g/L) was 33.6% and 74.4% lower than that in patients with T1 (<40 g/L), respectively, and the risk of all-cause death decreased by 13.2% for every unit increase in albumin (P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the correlation between higher levels of albumin and lower risk of all-cause death was significant in all subgroups (P < 0.05). ROC analysis indicated that albumin could predict all-cause death in both the overall population and different sex groups (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that with the extension of follow-up time, the higher the albumin, the slower the survival probability decreased (P < 0.001). RCS also established a linear negative correlation between albumin and the risk of all-cause death (P for nonlinearity = 0.092).

Conclusion
In patients with ischemic stroke, there was a stable stratified correlation and linear negative correlation between serum albumin and all-cause death risk.
The underlying pathogenesis of obesity-associated acanthosis nigricans: a literature review
Authors: Eggiman Evan , Feldman Steven R. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) presents as hyperpigmented plaques with ill-defined borders, commonly in intertriginous areas and flexures, and is associated with various factors, including obesity, insulin resistance, and malignancies. Recognizing the clinical significance of ANs relationship with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk is important for early intervention and prevention.

Purpose
This study describes the metabolic pathways underlying AN, highlighting its association with hyperinsulinemia, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), leptin, and their receptors. The pathophysiology involves disruptions in insulin, IGF1, leptin, fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) and epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR), leading to keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation.

Methods
A comprehensive literature search through PubMed was performed. Terms such as “Acanthosis nigricans”, “hyperinsulinemia”, “cardiovascular disease”, “diabetes”, “coronary artery disease”, “hyperleptinemia”, “obesity”, “leptin”, “epidermal growth factor”, “insulin resistance”, were brought into consideration. Further articles were found using source materials from included references. Articles published from 1980 to 2023 were used to encompass the broad range of research covered on the subjects.

Results
AN is connected to insulin, IGF1, leptin, and growth factor receptors and is an independent marker for metabolic disorders.

Discussion
Dermatologists may intervene by referring to primary care or by addressing underlying causes such as obesity and hyperinsulinemia, emphasizing the importance of weight loss. Various treatments—including medication, topical therapies, and laser modalities—may provide limited improvement. Recognizing AN's significance in cardiovascular and metabolic disease could ote detection and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, improving patient outcomes.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study introduces an experimental investigation of a novel direct trend evaporative cooler based on a ground-air heat exchanger (GAHE) using porous clay vessels as an evaporation media under a variety of operational conditions, including air flow rate, inlet air temperature, temperature of inlet water, and in air humidity. The evaluation of the GAHE performance was based on the air-cooling effect, wet-bulb and dew-point efficiencies, energy efficiency ratio, water evaporation rate, specific water evaporation, specific cooling capacity, specific total cost, and CO2 emission rate. The influences of dry-bulb temperature, the incoming air's relative humidity (RH), and six air flow rates ranging from 11 to 25 L/s on the performance are investigated and discussed. Results indicated that increasing the air flow rate leads to an increase in the cooling capacity. Energy efficiency ratio (EER) reaches the highest value of about 25.5 recorded at 3:00 PM with air flow rate = 11 L/s. The lowest EER value is approximately 7.2 when the measured inlet and outlet temperatures are the closest at 7:00 PM, with a flow rate of 25 L/s. Increasing the air flow rate from 11 to 17 L/s increased the wet bulb efficiency, and the airflow rate was inversely proportional to wet-bulb efficiency. The maximum and minimum average dew-point efficiencies are 64% and 58% at 17 L/s and 22 L/s respectively. The water evaporation rate increases by 182.1%, increasing the air flow rate from 11 to 25 L/s.

AbstractManuka honey (MH) has garnered much attention due to its remarkable antimicrobial, anticancer, immunomodulatory and wound-healing properties. This study compared the antiproliferative effects of raw and powdered MH (pMH) on various human and murine cancer cell lines. A detailed metabolomics analysis was also carried out using untargeted ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) to compare the constituents in raw MH and pMH. The results of the viability studies showed that both raw MH and pMH caused a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor cell growth at concentrations of > 1% w/v (equivalent to ~ 10 mg/ml). A differential susceptibility to MH was observed among the cell lines with the human MDA-MB-231 and A549 cells and murine B16.F10 cells being relatively resistant to MH while the murine MC38 colorectal adeno-carcinoma cells showing the most sensitivity. The effect of raw MH and pMH on cell viability was validated using 2 indepndent assays. Metabolomics analysis detected 2440 compounds, out of which 833 were successfully identified. Among these, 90 phytochemical compounds, predominantly comprising terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins and derivatives, and phenylpropanoic acids, and 79 lipids were identifiable. Significant differences in 5 metabolite classes, including flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, carbohydrates, and organic acids were observed between the raw and pMH. Moreover, several altered metabolic pathways were identified in pMH compared to raw MH, such as energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and various other pathways that collectively influence biological functions associated with cellular growth, signaling, and stress response.
The Conversational Language Profile of Children in Low Socioeconomic Environments: A Systematic Review
Authors: Helm Kylie , Selin Claire 
Published: July 2024

Purpose:
Children from low socioeconomic environments (SEEs; i.e., families with parental education of high school or less and/or household income at or below federal poverty threshold) reportedly produce fewer vocabulary words compared to their higher SEE peers. However, whether that indicates a language delay or disorder is unclear since vocabulary represents only one dimension of language. We conducted a systematic review to investigate the conversational language profile of children in low SEEs and how results may vary by dimensions of language (i.e., vocabulary, grammar) and SEE (e.g., maternal education, income).

Method:
A systematic review following the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was completed. A literature search was conducted across three electronic databases (PsycINFO, Education Resources Information Center, and PubMed) to find studies published between 1990 and 2023 that examined the relation between children's vocabulary and grammar with their SEE using language sample analyses.

Results:
Twenty-two studies were reviewed. Participant demographic information, conversational language outcomes (vocabulary and grammar), and SEE indicators were summarized. Overall, studies using a between-groups research design based on SEE reported fewer significant effects than were studies examining within-sample SEE effects. In addition, associations between SEE and conversational language were mixed; however, SEE is less likely to correlate with basic grammar skills (e.g., tense and agreement) as compared to lexical diversity, mean length of utterance, and complex syntax. Finally, researchers measured SEE heterogeneously, which interfered with cross-study comparisons.

Conclusions:
This review describes the conversational language profile of children from low SEE, providing a potential framework for differential diagnosis to avoid overidentification. Furthermore, we suggest the conversational language profile may reflect a language difference rather than a language disorder. Clinical and social justice implications include avoiding deficit-based framing of language in low SEE contexts and using culturally and linguistically responsive assessment practices to disentangle language differences from disorders.
Single‐stage ZVS boost integrated push–pull power factor correction converter
Authors: Nazemi Sejzi Hamed , Adib Ehsan 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study proposes a cutting‐edge AC/DC converter designed for medium‐power PFC applications. The converter is a single‐phase, single‐stage boost‐push–pull model. It consists of three key components: an interleaved boost, a push–pull, and a resonant tank circuit. The interleaved boost operates in DCM mode and serves as power factor correction. The push–pull converter includes a resonant tank on the secondary side of the transformer to achieve ZVS. The two switches control the boost and the push–pull circuits to create a single‐stage converter. The converter in question provides an array of advantages, such as zero voltage switching (ZVS), an intermediate bus voltage that is independent of the load, and a low‐ripple input current, all of which can be achieved without the need for additional filtering. The present article provides a comprehensive overview of the design procedure, simulation and experimental results, and separate operating modes analysis. To verify the design and simulation results, a 200‐W interleaved boost push–pull converter (IBPPC) prototype is implemented. Finally, because it is crucial to maintain the voltage of the bus capacitor within an acceptable range, this study investigated the impact of load variation on the bus voltage.
A capacitive power transfer system with LCL primary compensation for very‐low‐power portable devices
Authors: Huang Jiasheng , Dou Yi , Zhang Zhe , Ouyang Ziwei , Andersen Michael A. E. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis paper investigates and technically demonstrates a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system applicable to the charging of emerging very‐low‐power portable devices. The constant‐current operation of the primary LCL compensation in CPT is implemented and analysed to simplify the system design process and minimize the configuration on the receiving side. Additionally, the system design considerations for the capacitive coupler and the diode rectifier are presented based on the battery charging specifications. All the design concepts and considerations are validated through experimentation with a 13.56 MHz CPT system, which achieves load‐independent constant‐current output from full‐load to light‐load (one‐tenth of the full load) charging operations.
