Authors: Berigel Muhammet , Boztaş Gizem Dilan , Güdek Beyza , Neagu Gabriela , Duarte Carlos 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMedia accessibility in education is vital for inclusive learning. It ensures that all students can engage with educational content, regardless of their abilities. By offering accessible formats like closed captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions, barriers to learning are eliminated. Media accessibility benefits not only those with sensory impairments but also students with learning disabilities, language barriers, or different learning preferences. Legislation and scientific studies emphasize the importance of media accessibility in education. From a methodological point of view, we will use the bibliometric study and literature review. By applying criteria specific to the two methods of analysis (keywords, language of writing documents, type of journal, number of citations, etc.), we will select articles that correspond to the objectives of the research. From an empirical point of view, theories such as social-cognitive theory, social constructivism or media richness theory will guide us in analyzing the data and establishing relevant conclusions for this field. The results we obtained confirm the importance of the study of specialized literature through specific methods and techniques in the development of new perspectives in the field of media accessibility.
Cognitive Accessibility in Educational Games: A Set of Recommendations
Authors: Oliva-Zamora Miguel Ángel , Larreina-Morales María Eugenia 
Published: August 2024

AbstractEducational games aim to teach players new knowledge or skills in an entertaining manner. However, they are often not accessible for players with disabilities, hindering their right to education. For players with cognitive disabilities and learning difficulties, it may be particularly challenging to determine the response to the game’s visual, auditory, and haptic stimuli. This chapter presents a set of recommendations to develop educational games that are accessible to these players. To that aim, a literature review was conducted comprising the past ten years of research about educational games and game accessibility. Ten papers were selected, which take diverse approaches to the topic: some review existing research, while others focus on the development of an accessible educational game. All of them address cognitive disabilities and learning difficulties, but some also include recommendations for visual, hearing, and motor accessibility. The review of these papers shows that, to develop an accessible game for players with cognitive disabilities and learning difficulties, it is recommended to provide stimuli through several channels of communication, to allow the game’s pace to be customizable, and to design simple but engaging content, among other features. Although these recommendations are not universally applicable to every educational game, they are a first step to bring together players, teachers, developers, and researchers to create more interactive and engaging educational experiences for all.
Digital Media Tools for Accessibility and Inclusion: A Case Study of Ukraine
Authors: Kostynets Valeriia , Kostynets Iuliia 
Published: August 2024

AbstractSince Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, brutal military operations, and Russia’s terrorist missile attacks on territory in Ukraine, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have partially or completely lost their mobility. Today, many military and civilian individuals have suffered wounds, concussions, and injuries, requiring support and learning to live with ongoing disabilities. At least 2 million Ukrainians face challenges of social inclusion. Ukraine's social sphere is directly focused on the development of an inclusive society aiding people with war-related physical limitations and safe refuges in isolation. Social adaptation and orientation for people with disabilities are crucial at both local and provincial levels. Considering the high level of digitalization in Ukraine, the use of digital media tools to ensure accessibility and inclusivity in all areas of everyday life is incredibly effective. One of these tools can be an interactive map of inclusion, which is divided into an online platform (mobile app), where in one place all the information about inclusive spaces in the country will be collected. A place where an inclusive infrastructure has already been created. Digital media tools play a vital role in securing accessible and inclusive coverage. Improvements in digital materials and special locations can be achieved through cooperation between public and private sectors.
‘Control the Stream of Sounds’: A Pilot Study on Intersemiotic Translation of Sound Effects and Music for Subtitling for the D/Deaf and Hard of Hearing in German, Spanish, and English in VOD Platforms
Authors: Bru García Vicente , Martínez-Martínez Silvia 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis study aims to address the need for standardization in intersemiotic subtitling of sound effects and music in audiovisual products through the revision of standards and guidelines in subtitling for the D/deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) and the analysis of a corpus consisting of SDH from German, Spanish, and English Netflix series. The results, examined using the classification identified by Martínez-Martínez in El subtitulado para sordos: Estudio de corpus sobre tipología de estrategias de traducción (2015), reveal differences in the three languages analyzed in terms of the most used intersemiotic translation strategy, as well as a lack of consistency in the translation of the same sounds in different subtitles. This article underlines the importance of establishing quality guidelines to ensure access to leisure for people with hearing impairments (Martínez-Martínez in Lo audiovisual bajo el foco del siglo, 2021, p. 353) and establishes a starting point in an interdisciplinary approach to subtitling sound effects and music.
Dissecting polytopes: Landau singularities and asymptotic expansions in 2 → 2 scattering
Authors: Gardi Einan , Herzog Franz , Jones Stephen , Ma Yao 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Parametric representations of Feynman integrals have a key property: many, frequently all, of the Landau singularities appear as endpoint divergences. This leads to a geometric interpretation of the singularities as faces of Newton polytopes, which facilitates algorithmic evaluation by sector decomposition and asymptotic expansion by the method of regions. Here we identify cases where some singularities appear instead as pinches in parametric space for general kinematics, and we then extend the applicability of sector decomposition and the method of regions algorithms to such integrals, by dissecting the Newton polytope on the singular locus. We focus on 2 → 2 massless scattering, where we show that pinches in parameter space occur starting from three loops in particular nonplanar graphs due to cancellation between terms of opposite sign in the second Symanzik polynomial. While the affected integrals cannot be evaluated by standard sector decomposition, we show how they can be computed by first linearising the graph polynomial and then splitting the integration domain at the singularity, so as to turn it into an endpoint divergence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that obtaining the correct asymptotic expansion of such integrals by the method of regions requires the introduction of new regions, which can be systematically identified as facets of the dissected polytope. In certain instances, these hidden regions exclusively govern the leading power behaviour of the integral. In momentum space, we find that in the on-shell expansion for wide-angle scattering the new regions are characterised by having two or more connected hard subgraphs, while in the Regge limit they are characterised by Glauber modes.
Orbit design for a future geodetic satellite and gravity field recovery
Authors: Sośnica Krzysztof 
Published: August 2024

AbstractSpherical geodetic satellites tracked by satellite laser ranging (SLR) stations provide indispensable scientific products that cannot be replaced by other sources. For studying the time-variable gravity field, two low-degree coefficientsC20andC30derived from GRACE and GRACE Follow-On missions are replaced by the values derived from SLR tracking of geodetic satellites, such as LAGEOS-1/2, LARES-1/2, Starlette, Stella, and Ajisai. The subset of these satellites is used to derive the geocenter motion which is fundamental in the realization of the origin of the terrestrial reference frames. LAGEOS satellites provide the most accurate standard gravitational product GM of the Earth. In this study, we use the Kaula theorem of gravitational perturbations to find the best possible satellite height, inclination, and eccentricity for a future geodetic satellite to maximize orbit sensitivity in terms of the recovery of low-degree gravity field coefficients, geocenter, and GM. We also derive the common station-satellite visibility-coverability coefficient as a function of the inclination angle and satellite height. We found that the best inclination for a future geodetic satellite is 35°–45° or 135°–145° with a height of about 1500–1700 km to support future GRACE/MAGIC missions withC20andC30. For a better geocenter recovery and derivation of the standard gravitational product, the preferable height is 2300–3500 km. Unfortunately, none of the existing geodetic satellites has the optimum height and inclination angle for deriving GM, geocenter, andC20because there are no spherical geodetic satellites at the heights between 1500 (Ajisai and LARES-1) and 5800 km (LAGEOS-1/2, LARES-2).
Daily life without cranial bone protection while awaiting cranioplasty: a qualitative study
Authors: Gustavsson Henrietta , Jangland Eva , Nyholm Lena 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Decompressive craniectomy is occasionally performed as a life-saving neurosurgical intervention in patients with acute severe brain injury to reduce refractory intracranial hypertension. Subsequently, cranioplasty (CP) is performed to repair the skull defect. In the meantime, patients are living without cranial bone protection, and little is known about their daily life. This study accordingly explored daily life among patients living without cranial bone protection after decompressive craniectomy while awaiting CP.

Methods
A multiple-case study examined six purposively sampled patients, patients’ family members, and healthcare staff. The participants were interviewed and the data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Results
The cross-case analysis identified five categories: “Adapting to new ways of living,” “Constant awareness of the absence of cranial bone protection,” “Managing daily life requires available staff with adequate qualifications,” “Impact of daily life depends on the degree of recovery,” and “Daily life stuck in limbo while awaiting cranioplasty.” The patients living without cranial bone protection coped with daily life by developing new habits and routines, but the absence of cranial bone protection also entailed inconveniences and limitations, particularly among the patients with greater independence in their everyday living. Time spent awaiting CP was experienced as being in limbo, and uncertainty regarding planning was perceived as frustrating.

Conclusion
The results indicate a vulnerable group of patients with brain damage and communication impairments struggling to find new routines during a waiting period experienced as being in limbo. Making this period safe and reducing some problems in daily life for those living without cranial bone protection calls for a person-centered approach to care involving providing contact information for the correct healthcare institution and individually planned scheduling for CP.
Exploring the impact of maternal early life adversity on interoceptive sensibility in pregnancy: implications for prenatal depression

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Pregnancy is a sensitive period of development in adult life characterized by massive changes in physical, emotional, and cognitive function. Such changes may be adaptive, e.g., facilitating adjustment to physical demands, but they may also reflect or contribute to risks inherent to this stage of life, e.g., prenatal depression. One cognitive ability that may undergo change during pregnancy and contribute to mental wellness is interoception - the ability to perceive, integrate, and model sensory information originating from the body. Strong interoceptive abilities are associated with lower rates of depression in non-pregnant adult populations, and interoception is generally weaker in individuals at higher risk for depression, for example, exposure to early life adversity (ELA). In the present online, cross-sectional study, we investigated whether interoception in pregnant women differed based on histories of ELA, in ways that increased their relative risk for prenatal depression symptoms.

Methods
The pregnant individuals were in the second trimester of their first pregnancy and were compared to a group of nulliparous, non-parenting women.

Results
Previous exposure to ELA significantly moderated pregnancy-related differences in self-reported interoception (interoceptive sensibility). A further moderated-mediation analysis revealed that the extent to which interoceptive sensibility buffered against depressive symptoms was conditional on ELA exposure, suggesting more ELA is associated with lower interoceptive sensibility during pregnancy, which increased prenatal depression risk.

Conclusions
Together this work suggests that levels of interoception during pregnancy are sensitive to previous adversity exposure. It also suggests that interoceptive-focused interventions for preventing/treating prenatal depressive symptoms in high-risk women may be worth exploring.
Welche Notfallbilder stellen den Einsatzalltag von Notfallsanitäter:innen dar? Eine Sekundärdatenanalyse von Krankenhauszuweisungscodes aus Hessen
Authors: Hofmann Thomas , Kirschenlohr Roland , Reuter-Oppermann Melanie , Lefering Rolf 
Published: August 2024

Zusammenfassung
Einführung
Die Diskussion um die Weiterentwicklung des Berufsbilds des/der Notfallsanitäter:in wird heftig und emotional geführt. Bevor sinnvoll über die Zukunft diskutiert werden kann, gilt es aber erst einmal den Ist-Zustand zu erfassen. Diese Arbeit hat das Ziel, das Tätigkeitsspektrum von Notfallsanitäter:innen hinsichtlich Einsatzindikationen und -charakteristika zu beschreiben.

Methodik
Die Analyse basiert auf Rückmeldeindikationen (RMI) der Rettungsdienste aus sieben hessischen Gebietskörperschaften für 2022. Dadurch werden die Einsätze eines Versorgungsgebiets von knapp 1,5 Mio. Einwohnern erfasst. Diese Zuweisungscodes werden detailliert deskriptiv aufgearbeitet und zusammengefasst.

Ergebnisse
Insgesamt werden 185.780 Einsätze in 211 RMI und diese wiederum in 22 Zuweisungsdiagnosegruppen (ZDG) eingeteilt. Basierend auf diesen Daten ist die/der durchschnittliche Rettungsdienstpatient:in 60,4 Jahre alt (SD 25,8). In ca. 8,1 % der Einsätze von Notfallsanitäter:innen sind die Patient:innen jünger als 18 Jahre. Die häufigsten Einsätze von Notfallsanitäter:innen stammen aus der ZDG „Trauma“ mit 20,8 % (n = 38.541) gefolgt von „Innere allgemein“ mit 15,6 % (n = 28.920). Insgesamt 7,0 % (n = 12.988) der Einsätze leisten Notfallsanitäter:innen im Bereich „Tragehilfe und Krankentransport“ ab. Patienten der ZDG „Sonstige Notfallsituationen“ werden zu 91,8 % (n = 10.368) nicht in ein Krankenhaus transportiert.

Fazit
Mit dieser explorativen Arbeit gelingt es erstmals, einen Überblick über die Einsatzindikationen und -charakteristika deutscher Notfallsanitäter:innen – und damit des gesamten Rettungsdiensts – zu erlangen. Trotz der rein deskriptiven Analytik deuten sich Optimierungsmöglichkeiten an. Beispielsweise die Reduktion der Notarztquote bei kardiologischen Einsätzen oder die Reduktion der Krankentransporte kann helfen, erhebliche Ressourcen effizienter einzusetzen.

An insight on the powerful of bacterial quorum sensing inhibition
Authors: Naga Nourhan G. , Shaaban Mona I. , El-Metwally Mohammad Magdy 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBacteria have their own language through which they communicate with one another like all higher organisms. So, many researchers are working hard to identify and comprehend the components of this bacterial communication, known as quorum sensing (QS). In quorum sensing, bacteria use signaling molecules called autoinducers (AIs) to exchange information. Many natural compounds and extraction techniques have been intensively studied to disrupt bacterial signaling and examine their effectiveness for bacterial pathogenesis control. Quorum sensing inhibitors can interfere with QS and block the action of AI signaling molecules. Recent research indicates that quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) and quorum quenching enzymes (QQEs) show great promise in reducing the pathogenicity of bacteria and inhibiting biofilm synthesis. In addition, the effectiveness of QQEs and QSIs in experimental animal models was demonstrated. These are taken into account in the development of innovative medical devices, such as dressings and catheters, to prevent bacterial infections. The present review highlights this aspect with a prospective vision for its development and application.
Decoupling of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved black carbon (DBC) in a temperate fluvial network
Authors: Bass Adrian M. , Gu Chao 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBlack carbon (BC) is a significant component of the global carbon cycle both in terrestrial and aquatic systems. Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is a significant portion of the total dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool and represents a major flux of recalcitrant carbon to the coastal and deep oceans. Dissolved black carbon can originate from multiple sources related to its relative biogeochemical reactivity with the dynamics of highly recalcitrant DBC integral to long-term sequestration. Thus, understanding how the more recalcitrant fractions of DBC varies in diverse catchments is critical and currently underexplored. We used hydrogen pyrolysis to isolate the fraction of DBC with aromatic clusters above 7 rings, representing the more stable components. Here we report the dynamics of DBCHyPy over a hydrological year in a temperate catchment, with a long history of coal mining extraction. Quarterly measurements of DBC were undertaken from two main channel and four tributary sites. Hydrogen pyrolysis derived DBC comprised a significant percentage of the total DOC flux (3.2% to 28.3%) and included significant spatial variability. Unlike other studies examining more reactive DBC fractions, bulk DOC concentrations and DBCHyPy were poorly correlated when considered over an annual scale. Rather, DBCHyPy was correlated with indicators of groundwater such as dissolved inorganic carbon and conductivity. Data suggest a consistent source of DBCHyPy not subject to the same mobilisation drivers as DOC, which shows substantial seasonality. Rather, our data shows a potentially consistent supply of stable DBC originating from the coal mining-influenced groundwater. Petrogenic sources of DBC have been poorly constrained to date, the data presented here suggests in some catchments it may be significant and yield catchment scale DOC-DBC decoupling. The dynamics of DBC have implications for carbon fluxes, pollution transport and water quality/treatment requirements. These preliminary findings suggest potentially complex drivers in spatially heterogeneous catchments, contrasting with previous work finding tight DOC-DBC mobilisation dynamics.
Who Loses in Win-Win Investing? A Mixed Methods Study of Impact Risk
Authors: Kaufmann Lauren , Botha Helet 
Published: August 2024

AbstractExisting scholarship grapples with how impact investors measure positive impacts, but little attention has been paid to negative impact or limitations to positive impact, indicating a need to study “impact risk.” Impact risk refers to the likelihood that impact will be different than expected. In this paper, we study how impact risk is considered in practice. First, through a yearlong data collection effort including interviews with 124 impact investors, we are the first, to our knowledge, to document the consideration of impact risk by practitioners. From this qualitative study, we develop two hypotheses about cognitive mechanisms related to impact risk. Second, we test these hypotheses through a vignette-based experiment with an online sample (N = 435). We find that win–win views of business, exemplified by the impact investing industry, can lead to inadequate consideration of impact risk. Inadequate consideration of impact risk matters for ethical reasons: with beneficiaries—people and planet—in urgent need of real solutions, investors and academics should take impact risk seriously.
Comedy and Masculine Hegemony: Adapting Masculinities in Humorous Children’s Fiction
Authors: Potter Troy 
Published: August 2024

AbstractSince the early 2000s, there has been increasing scholarly focus on the representations of masculinities in children’s literature. In part, this is due to the growing field of critical studies in men and masculinities coupled with wider public concern about boys’ development and education. This paper contributes to this work by analysing constructions of masculinity in four popular humorous series for children: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2007–2022), The Treehouse books (2011–2023), The Bad Guys (2015–2023), and Planet Omar (2019–2023). Understanding genre as a reciprocal dynamic, the analysis demonstrates how these texts both intercede and shape the social and national milieu in which they are produced. As our understanding of acceptable masculine behaviours has adapted, so too has there been a shift in both the represented masculine dynamics and role of comedy in humorous junior fiction for boys. While some early series attempt to invert the hierarchical ordering of boys to validate alternative masculinities, the farcical genre conventions rest on limited models of masculinity, and frequently reaffirm the very tropes and behaviours that they seek to redress. In contrast, later series attempt to expand the repertoire of qualities that are acceptable for boys and men, challenging patterns of masculine hegemony, thereby revisioning what it means to be male. While humorous texts for young people may engage young male readers, the operation of humour and its relationship to masculinities is political, and can operate in either reductive or expansive ways.
