A robust bi‐level programming approach for optimal planning an off‐grid zero‐energy complex
Authors: Ghaffarpour Reza , Zamanian Saeid 
Published: August 2024

AbstractElectric power provision for all the customers is not always possible for distribution companies. Some customers are interested in serving their load through renewable resources regarding the climate situation. Electrically off‐grid zero‐energy building is an applicable concept, in which the electrical energy provision of the buildings is isolated from the power supply infrastructures. This paper introduces a robust bi‐level programming model to create a cost‐effective off‐grid zero energy complex in Kish Island under risk management. The upper level of the planning is composed of two components, the passive design of buildings within the complex and the design of a stand‐alone energy system. The passive design as an energy‐saving tool includes the selection of insulation material for building external walls and finding the optimum thickness. Also, the stand‐alone energy system design denotes the sizing of diesel generator, photovoltaic, and battery energy storage as the distributed energy resources. The lower‐level problem optimally handles the annual scheduling of these resources to meet the complex demand under the impact of passive cooling. The Karush–Kuhn–Tucker condition method is used to solve this bi‐level planning problem. Furthermore, the battery degradation is concerned via the throughput model to consider the replacement cost of the problem.

AbstractChildren who survive septic shock are at high risk of new morbidity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the occurrence and risk factors associated with new or worsening sleep disturbance, comparing baseline to 3 months following admission among children surviving septic shock. A secondary analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation prospective cohort study was performed. This study included children <18 years admitted to 12 U.S. Pediatric Intensive Care Units with community-acquired septic shock requiring vasoactive–inotropic support and invasive or noninvasive ventilation who survived discharge. The primary outcome of sleep deterioration was characterized as any increased trouble in sleeping measured by a question from the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) at baseline compared with the response at the 3-month follow-up. Child and parent variables were evaluated for association with sleep deterioration using univariable and multivariable analyses. Of the original 389 patients, 229 survived for 3 months and completed the PedsQL. The final cohort included 111 children who had available follow-up data at month 3 and did not report baseline sleep challenges. Overall, 25% (28/111) of children reported declines in sleep at 3 months. There were no patient or illness characteristics associated with sleep decline at 3 months in univariable analysis. In multivariable models controlling for age, sex, insurance type, baseline complex conditions, and immunocompromise, no measures of illness severity were associated with deterioration in sleep at 3 months. Sleep deterioration is common in survivors of community-acquired septic shock but detection may be difficult to identify without routine screening.
Anatomía quirúrgica aplicada de la artroplastia total de cadera por abordaje anterior directo: Ventajas y obstáculos durante la curva de aprendizaje
Authors: Foster James N. , Bush Ashleigh N. , Stanzione Samantha , Sheth Neil P. 
Published: August 2024

ResumenEl abordaje anterior directo (AAD) se ha convertido en una opción cada vez más popular entre los cirujanos ortopédicos para realizar una artroplastia total de cadera (ATC). El AAD proporciona un medio menos invasivo para acceder a la articulación de la cadera, lo que se traduce en una recuperación más temprana de la función para muchos pacientes después de una ATC. A pesar de su atractivo, sigue habiendo preocupación en la comunidad ortopédica con respecto a una curva de aprendizaje para aquellos que no están capacitados formalmente en el uso del AAD. Esta llamada curva de aprendizaje se ha asociado con un período de aumento de complicaciones como mala alineación de los componentes, aumento de la pérdida de sangre operatoria, necesidad de revisión temprana, entre otras.Aquí se describe un enfoque reproducible paso a paso para realizar el AAD con el uso de una mesa de tracción y fluoroscopia con arco en C. Creemos que con un período de estudio dedicado, una cuidadosa atención a los detalles, desde la colocación del paciente hasta las liberaciones capsulares y la preparación ósea, y un plan para el aprendizaje continuo, muchas de las complicaciones antes mencionadas se pueden evitar durante la transición de la práctica al uso del AAD para ATC.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the important opportunistic nosocomial pathogens that are increasingly becoming resistant to many drugs including the drugs of last resort, carbapenems, and colistin.
Methods The study involved the examination of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa recovered from diabetic patients for the presence of acquired genes implied in carbapenem and colistin resistance.
Results A total of 100 clinical isolates from diabetic patients' wound and sputum were investigated for their susceptibility to imipenem and colistin followed by phenotypic assay and resistance gene screening. The study revealed 27 sputum isolates being resistant to imipenem further confirmed by a modified Hodge test and 28 wound isolates were resistant to colistin. The resistant isolates of wound and sputum were found to possess blaOXA-48
, blaVIM
, mcr-1, and mcr-5 genes. The strains had a coexistence of carbapenem- and colistin-resistant genes.
Conclusion Considering the fact that infection by such resistant isolates in diabetics could be frightening, clinical laboratories must employ rapid diagnostic methods to detect resistance which can aid in the treatment decision-making.
Giant Cystic Pneumocytoma in a Young Male: Rare Diagnostic Conundrum with Clinicoradiological and Histopathological Features

Published: August 2024

AbstractPulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm typically seen in middle-aged women. The exact preoperative diagnosis is quite challenging considering its nonspecific clinical and radiologic features along with complex histology. Moreover, obtaining an exact histopathological diagnosis can be difficult especially with the small biopsy specimens. Most patients are generally asymptomatic with incidental detection of peripheral, homogenous, solitary pulmonary nodule. It is essential to differentiate it from other mimickers including malignant lesions as limited surgical resection is curative in these cases without adjuvant therapy. We present a rare giant cystic variant of pneumocytoma, in a young male, which was initially mimicking inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor even on preoperative histology.
Moral attitudes towards effort and efficiency: a comparison between American and Chinese history
Authors: Chen Amber X. , Sun Shaojing , Yu Hongbo 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn some cultures, merely exerting effort is considered virtuous, even when the effort is inefficient. Our study examines how this moral attitude towards effort (relative to efficiency) has evolved historically across two distinct sociopolitical and linguistic contexts: the People’s Republic of China and the United States, using natural language processing techniques. Specifically, two formal political corpora were used—the People’s Daily (1950–2021) and the Congressional speeches for the U.S. (1873–2011). We developed dictionaries for each concept based on pre-trained word embedding models in both languages. Moral attitudes towards effort and efficiency were calculated on a year-by-year basis as the cosine similarity between the dictionaries of these concepts and an existing dictionary of morality. We benchmarked the fluctuations of moral attitude towards inefficient effort against critical historical events in the two countries. Additional time series analysis and Granger tests revealed the association and potential directionality between the evolution of moral attitude towards inefficient effort and critical socio-cultural variables such as collectivism and cultural looseness. Our research sheds light on the historical and socio-cultural roots of moralization of effort and has implications for historical psychology research on moral attitudes.

A pioneering 4-channel, high-k poloidal, millimeter-wave collective scattering system has been successfully developed for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). Engineered to explore high-k electron density fluctuations, this innovative system deploys a 270 GHz mm-wave probe beam launched from Port K and directed toward Port P (both ports lie on the midplane and are 110° part), where large aperture optics capture radiation across four simultaneous scattering angles. Tailored to measure density fluctuations with a poloidal wavenumber of up to 20 cm−1, this high-k scattering system underwent rigorous laboratory testing in 2023, and the installation is currently being carried out on EAST. Its primary purpose lies in scrutinizing ion and electron-scale instabilities, such as the electron temperature gradient (ETG) mode, by furnishing measurements of the kθ (poloidal wavenumber) spectrum. This advancement significantly bolsters the capacity to probe high-k electron density fluctuations within the framework of EAST. Beam tracing and data interpretation modules developed for both EAST and NSTX-U high-k scattering diagnostics are described.

Group velocity and impedance matches are prerequisites for high-speed Mach–Zehnder electro-optic (EO) modulators. However, not all platforms can realize matching conditions, restricting high-speed modulation in many practical conditions. Here, we propose and demonstrate a quasi-matching scheme to satisfy the group velocity and characteristic impedance matches by cascading fast-wave and slow-wave traveling wave electrodes. The effective group velocity can be flexibly adjusted by changing the ratio of fast-wave and slow-wave traveling wave electrodes. Moreover, the quasi-matching scheme is experimentally verified by demonstrating a 6 mm long EO modulator on a thin-film lithium-niobate-on-insulator platform with a silica cladding. The radio frequency signal insertion loss at the boundary of the slow-wave and fast-wave electrodes is less than 0.12 dB. The measured small signal EO response of the quasi-matched EO modulator drops less than 2 dB at 67 GHz, while the measured small-signal EO responses of conventional slow and fast traveling wave EO modulators drop 4 dB at 67 GHz. The measured 100 Gb/s on–off key signal eye-diagrams of the quasi-matched EO modulator also exhibit an overwhelming advantage over conventional schemes. Therefore, our results will open many opportunities for high-speed EO modulators in various platforms.

This study primarily investigates the antibacterial properties, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, hardness, and microstructural characteristics of a composite, utilizing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for detailed analysis. The composite, crafted through a hand layup technique, optimally blends ramie and hemp fibers within an epoxy matrix. Its antibacterial efficacy was rigorously tested against common bacterial strains, demonstrating significant potential for medical and hygienic applications. The evaluation of tensile strength revealed the composite’s enhanced capability to withstand longitudinal stresses, with a peak strength of 37.81 MPa, achieved by increasing ramie fiber content. In addition, a flexural strength of 39.72 MPa underscored the material’s robust resistance to bending forces, crucial for structural uses. The composite’s impact strength, accessed via the Izod impact test, registered at 0.021 J/m2, indicating its ability to absorb and dissipate energy upon sudden impacts, making it ideal for automotive and protective gear applications. The Rockwell hardness test further quantified the composite’s resistance to surface indentation, vital for wear-resistant surfaces. SEM analysis offered a comprehensive view of the microstructural dynamics between the fibers and the matrix, especially under tensile stress, highlighting the intricacies of fiber–matrix adhesion, crack propagation, and overall composite integrity. Notably, the antibacterial properties were confirmed by an 18 mm inhibition zone, which showcases the composite’s ability to inhibit bacterial growth effectively.

Objective Patient engagement, as measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM®), has been used to assess patients’ ability to manage their own care. This study aimed to determine whether the PAM® could predict healthcare use in older adults aged >70 years, living independently in the community with mild frailty, within 30 days after emergency department (ED) discharge. Methods A prospective single-centre observational cohort study was completed including older adults who presented to an ED. The 13-item PAM® and selected International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measures were completed prior to ED discharge. Results Two hundred patients were recruited with a mean age of 84.8 years (s.d. 6.9). The mean PAM® score was 58.6 (s.d. 13.3), with 12.5% at Level 1 (n = 25), 40% at Level 2 (n = 80), 34.5% at Level 3 (n = 69) and 13.0% at Level 4 (n = 26). The PAM® level was significantly associated with ED presentations in the past 6 months (P = 0.030). The PAM® level did not predict healthcare use within 30 days of discharge consisting of time until ED representation (P = 0.557), number of ED representations (P = 0.560), number of hospital admissions (P = 0.499), length of stay in hospital (P = 0.254) and number of post-discharge contacts (P = 0.667). Conclusions Overall, the PAM® did not predict prospective short-term healthcare use. However, the PAM® was significantly associated with 6-month previous ED use. With more than 50% of patients at Level 1 or 2, indicating lower capacity for self-management, tailored interventions are required to assist mildly frail patients to manage discharge care plans and engage in preventative strategies.
Staying terminologically rigid, conceptually open and socially cohesive
Authors: Michaelis Laura A. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
When he introduced the framework now known as Construction Grammar, Charles Fillmore said: “Grammatical
Construction Theory differs from […] other frameworks […] in its insistence that syntactic patterns are often tightly associated
with interpretation instructions” (Fillmore 1989: 17). Construction Grammarians view
the patterns, the associations and the interpretive instructionsas a matter of linguistic convention-a fact not generally
appreciated within the wider cognitive-functional community that embraces Construction Grammar, In CxG, we do not use general
principles to explain the existence of the form-function pairs we encounter in a language, but rather treat those as the product
of lexical and constructional licensing (Zwicky 1994). But emergentists and stipulators
share one core belief: grammatical structure is inherently symbolic. Sign-Based Construction Grammar (SBCG) makes this insight
formally explicit by treating constructions as licensors of signs-signs that are phrases, lexemes or words-and allowing for
semantic and usage constraints to be directly associated with constructions. But practitioners of Construction Grammar might
reasonably reject the SBCG formalism as incompatible with major foundations of constructional thinking: the top-down nature of
constructional meaning, the idiomaticity continuum and the narrow scope of linguistic generalizations. My task in this article is
to address this concern, illustrating a variety of applications.
The state of pivot subtitling
Authors: Dallı Harun , Sung Seung-eun 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
At the heart of media globalization lies pivot subtitling – an indirect translation method that facilitates
accessibility and cultural diversity in a vastly multilingual mediascape. Conducted between September 2022 and April 2023, this
survey targeted 80 Turkish subtitlers who translated Korean content for various subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) platforms. The
study aims to understand the working conditions of Turkish pivot subtitlers, elicit recommendations, and provide insights to
industry stakeholders. The findings reveal a lack of uniformity within pivot subtitling workflows across SVoD platforms,
highlighting the need for standardized working conditions. The study also addresses the quality assurance of pivot subtitles and
templates, emphasizing the absence of consistent procedures in post-submission processes. The results call for measures to uphold
equitable working conditions for pivot subtitlers, underscored by achieving uniformity in workflows, and a commitment to confront
systemic challenges that disincentivize direct translation in favor of indirect translation via pivot templates.
