Structure Telling. How Architectural Criticism tells the Relationship between Formal Structure and Resistant Structue
Authors: Ausias Gonzalez Lisorge  
Published: June 2024

It is necessary to situate the gaze in the criticism of architecture to throw a certain light on the issues that this discipline deals with. The story, the logos, fulfills a double function both descriptive and constitutive of the reality. The historiography of modern architecture played an active role in conformation of styles, focusing its targets. Some of the main architectural tendences of the twentieth century were consolidated through publications and exhibitions. To show this, it is enough to remark the importance of Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in the developement of the International Style, and the role of latter in the Deconstructivism. Following this argumental line, the following article tries to highlight how critics of modern architecture have understood the resistant structure in their respective works. Martin Heidegger proposed the tekné as a process to ‘bringing-forth’ the abstraction. Thus, the technique ceases to have the sense of ‘means’. That is, it stands as something necessary to realize an idea. Thus, the study of technology and, therefore, of science turns to be fundamental to understand how architectural projects have been conceived.

La forma del tempo. L’ampliamento della Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma di Luigi Cosenza
Authors: Gennaro Di Costanzo  
Published: June 2024

Il contributo intende indagare il tema del museo moderno analizzando L’ampliamento della Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma di Luigi Cosenza. Se si considera la genesi del progetto e i tempi necessari alla costruzione è comprensibile l’obsolescenza prematura di quest’opera, appartenente all’esperienza del moderno ma situata storicamente in quella che Tafuri definirà La gaia erranza degli ipermoderni. La concezione di un museo lontano da ambizioni monumentali diviene fertile premessa per la realizzazione di un’idea nuova di museo, dove l’innovazione tipologica articola una sequenza spaziale che trova nella ripetizione e variazione i temi formali con cui costruire una “figurazione temporale”.
#Io resto a casa, Nuove forme dell’abitare domestico
Authors: Antonino Margagliotta  , Paolo De Marco  
Published: June 2024

Le regolamentazioni igienico-sanitarie hanno influenzato da sempre le teorie urbanistiche, le trasformazioni delle città e le forme dell’abitare. Nell’attesa della soluzione medica, la risposta al Covid19 passa da considerazioni sugli spazi. I cambiamenti più immediati possono avviarsi dalla casa, con un pensiero poietico e in opposizione all’idea che tutto dipenda unicamente dalla tecnologia. Il ragionamento sullo spazio domestico implica la riflessione sui nuovi bisogni (che l’emergenza ha acuito) e sulla ricerca della qualità, con una revisione dei minimi dell’abitare. L’isolamento ha aperto lo sguardo a possibili paesaggi domestici e, se la casa è ancora principio dell’abitare, da essa - con una visione multi-scalare - possono traguardarsi cambiamenti e trasformazioni più ampie. In quest’ottica, il progetto contemporaneo recupera alcune ragioni ed esperienze della modernità a riferimento di ulteriori elaborazioni.

As Co-Vid 19 evidence, urban density[1] proved to be a health risk factor, reclaiming the rethinking for higher sustainability. The investigation on post pandemic strategies in the metropolitan cities of Milan and Rotterdam shows emergent modes of spatial re-appropriation towards better risk adaptiveness.

Authors: Osero Justus OS , Osano Edna Nyanchama 
Published: June 2024

Background/Aims Mothers' knowledge of the mother and child health handbook positively affects their practice in child healthcare. However, there is evidence that their understanding of the handbook's contents and its purpose is limited. This study's aim was to assess the impact of a health education intervention designed to improve mothers' knowledge of the handbook's use and contents. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, participants were recruited from four selected health facilities. Participants in the experimental arm were given health training on the mother and child health handbook while those in the control arm received usual care. Data on participants' understanding of the handbook's purpose and contents were collected via questionnaire at baseline and, for intervention participants, after 9 months. Interviews were conducted with four healthcare providers, to explore their perception of women's understanding of the handbook. Data were analysed using the Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test and odds ratios. Results Participants who received health education showed significant improvement in knowledge of the handbook's contents, with the exception of the HIV prophylaxis schedule. This included being more likely to know that weight-for-height monitoring (odds ratio=2.222; P<0.001), height-for-age monitoring (odds ratio=2.308; P<0.001) and a recommended vaccine schedule (odds ratio=3.000; P<0.001) were found in the handbook. The proportion of mothers who recognised the growth monitoring curve also improved greatly (16.7% pre-intervention, 100.0% post-intervention). Conclusions Mothers' knowledge of the mother and child health handbook improved significantly after health education. Mothers should be given education to ensure that they can make full use of the handbook.

Published: June 2024

Background: Providing supportive care to patients with cancer and improving their comfort levels can promote their adjustment to the disease, compliance with treatment and improve their quality of life. Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional, descriptive study was to identify the effects of the supportive care needs of cancer patients on their comfort levels. Methods: The study was performed in the oncology department of a university hospital. A total of 153 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy constituted the sample. The data collection procedure included the Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS) and the General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ). Results: The SCNS scores of the patients were low (Mean±SD: 75.13±27.93). The socio-cultural dimension of the GCQ was the most adversely influenced area of comfort. There was a negative relationship between needs and comfort levels (rs=-0.69, p<0.01). Lower scores of comfort were associated with higher scores of SCNS (ß=-0.487; ß=-0.316; ß=-0.958, respectively). Conclusions: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were supported in meeting their physical and psychological needs and performing their activities of daily living and care during their hospital stay. Patients with higher support needs had lower comfort levels.

Published: June 2024

We numerically demonstrated highly coherent mid-infrared (IR) super-continuum (SC) generation using all-normal dispersion (AND) GeSe2−As2Se3−PbSe chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The structural parameters of this PCF were optimized to obtain an ultra-flat-AND region and high nonlinearity characteristics using the full-vectorial finite difference method with the perfectly matched layer boundary conditions to calculate the linear properties of the fiber. We show that, pumping a light source at 9.8 µm pump wavelength with an input pulse energy of 3.5 nJ and pulse width of 200 fs, corresponding to the peak power of 17.5 kW, into a 10-cm-long fiber, an ultra-flat-coherent mid-IR SC extended from 2851.8 nm to 13538.8 nm (bandwidth of 10687 nm) is obtained. This ultra-wide and flattened spectrum has excellent stability and coherence properties that can be used for mid-IR applications such as biological imaging, optical coherence tomography, and frequency metrology.

Published: June 2024

The T-matrix method was utilized to study the polarization characteristics of nonspherical sea salt aerosol models within the wavelength range of 0.48–2.5 µm. Analysis was conducted on the polarization characteristics of nonspherical sea salt aerosols across different wavelengths as a function of scattering angle. This included scrutinizing linear depolarization ratios under typical visible and near-infrared wavelengths for various aspect ratios. The impact of particle nonsphericity on the linear depolarization ratios of monodisperse and polydisperse sea salt aerosol particles was examined. The results indicate: (1) In the analysis of the polarization characteristics of sea salt aerosols, the trends of polarization properties are similar between monodisperse and polydisperse systems. The scattering phase function P11(θ) is predominantly more significant in the forward-scattering direction. P11(θ) is insensitive to wavelength changes in the backward-scattering direction. P33(θ)/P11(θ) varies across different bands; in the visible light spectrum, there are significant fluctuating changes, while in the infrared spectrum, it trends towards nearly linear changes. The variation trends of −P12(θ)/P11(θ) and P34(θ)/P11(θ) with scattering angle are similar, and both are significantly affected by changes in wavelength. (2) Regarding the depolarization ratio of sea salt aerosols, the value for polydisperse systems is more than twice that of monodisperse systems, and the greater the nonsphericity, the higher the linear depolarization ratio. In monodisperse systems, at a wavelength of 0.633 µm for visible light and an aspect ratio of 0.4, the maximum depolarization ratio is around 118.82, while at 1.65 µm in the near-infrared, with an aspect ratio of 0.2, the maximum depolarization ratio is near 97.52; under polydisperse conditions, at 0.633 µm for visible light and an aspect ratio of 0.4, the maximum depolarization ratio is around 117.18, while at 1.65 µm in the near-infrared, with an aspect ratio of 0.2, the maximum linear depolarization ratio is near 215.66. Investigating the polarization characteristics and linear depolarization ratios of nonspherical spheroid sea salt aerosol particle models at all scattering angles is important for remote-sensing detection, high-precision calibration, and other optoelectronic applications.

Published: June 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Aggressive hydration using lactated Ringer's solution prevents postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). Concerns of this strategy are large volume and lengthy hydration. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tailored aggressive hydration (TAH) for PEP prevention.

METHODS:
In this prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized trial conducted across 3 tertiary Korean hospitals, patients who underwent ERCP for the first time were randomly assigned (1:1) to the tailored standard hydration (TSH) and TAH groups. The TSH group received 1.5 mL/kg/hr lactated Ringer's solution during and after ERCP, whereas the TAH group was administered a 20 mL/kg bolus post-ERCP and 3 mL/kg/hr during and after the procedure. Both groups were assessed for elevated serum amylase levels and pain 4–6 hours after ERCP. If both were absent, hydration was discontinued. If either was present, hydration was continued at the original rate until 8 hours. The primary end point was PEP development and was analyzed on an intention-to-treat analysis.

RESULTS:
A total of 344 patients were randomly assigned to treatment groups (171 to the TSH group and 172 to the TAH group). PEP was observed in 9.4% (16/171) in the TSH group and 3.5% (6/172) in the TAH group (relative risk 0.37, 95% confidence interval 0.15–0.93, P = 0.03). No difference was identified between the 2 groups in PEP severity (P = 0.80) and complications related to volume overload (P = 0.32).

DISCUSSION:
TAH according to the presence of abdominal pain or elevated serum amylase levels at 4–6 hours after ERCP is safe and prevents PEP development.
Corporate Tax Rates, Allocative Efficiency, and Aggregate Productivity
Authors: Dinerstein Marcos , Patiño Peña Fausto 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper quantifies the impact of effective corporate tax rates on aggregate total factor productivity (TFP). Using Chilean manufacturing data, we document a large dispersion in the effective tax rate faced by firms and a mass of firms facing a 0 percent tax rate. We integrate these findings into a standard monopolistic competition model, where firms are subject to corporate taxation and also face output and capital wedges, which represent all other distortions present in the economy. We find that eliminating corporate tax rates increases TFP between 4 and 11 percent. We consider counterfactual policies in which firms face a uniform flat tax rate and find a monotonically decreasing relationship between the level of the tax rate and TFP.
Evaluation of cryptic invasion in Japanese Undaria populations based on mitochondrial haplotypic analysis

Published: June 2024

Abstract
To improve the quality and quantity of seaweed mariculture harvests, seedlings are frequently introduced from regions geographically apart from cultivation sites. The effects of such introduction have been insufficiently studied, despite increasing demands on seaweed cultivation as a measure against global warming. We here evaluated the degree of cryptic invasion occurring through mariculture using a brown algal species, Undaria pinnatifida. Cultivated materials used in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, were introduced from northern Japan in the 1970s. Based on the clear genetic structure among Japanese Undaria populations, we compared mitochondrial haplotypes between wild populations and cultivated materials in the Seto Inland Sea. All cultivated materials analyzed had haplogroups native to northern Japan. Multiple haplogroups were observed in the wild populations, especially those in the eastern Seto Inland Sea, which is exceptional considering the reported genetic structure. Some northern Japan haplotypes were observed both in cultivated materials and wild individuals. A northern Japan haplogroup was predominant at several sites near Undaria-cultivation sites. These results strongly suggested that cryptic invasion through Undaria mariculture occurred here, although its ecological impact remains unclear. There is a clear risk of invasion by mariculture seedlings from other regions, even when native conspecific populations are present.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in newborns in Hainan Province, China, to provide a reference for early and effective prevention strategies.

Methods
Newborns born in Hainan Province from 2017 to 2021 were the subjects of this study. Time-resolved immunofluorescence was used for initial screening and chemiluminescence for confirmatory diagnosis. Based on the diagnosis, newborns were classified into CH and non-CH groups. Statistical analysis was conducted on the initial screening and confirmed CH cases in newborns in Hainan Province, and potential risk factors for CH were explored.

Results
From 2017 to 2021, a total of 585,886 newborns were screened, revealing 6,856 initial positive results, 614 positive rescreens, and 420 confirmed CH cases, yielding an incidence rate of 1/1,395 (420/585,886). The annual initial positive screening rate of newborns in Hainan Province showed a rising trend from 2017 to 2021 (p=0.000). No significant differences were found regarding gender (p=0.400) and ethnicity (p=0.836). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that residing in coastal areas, especially those with salt fields (OR=2.151, 95 % CI: 1.364–3.390), was risk factors for the development of CH in newborns.

Conclusions
The incidence of CH in newborns showed a year-on-year increase in Hainan Province from 2017 to 2021. Residing in coastal areas, particularly those with salt fields, was identified as a risk factor for the development of CH.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
This study delves into the use of impoliteness strategies within emails sent by undergraduate and postgraduate students to their professors, aiming to discern the variance in their implementation based on (Culpeper and Hardaker’s. 2017. Impoliteness. In: Culpeper, Jonathan, Haugh, Michael and Daniel Kadar (eds.), The Palgrave handbook of linguistic (im) politeness, 199–225. Basingstoke: Palgrave) model. Data, comprising emails from University of Jordan students and semi-structured interviews, underwent analysis to identify impoliteness strategies and themes. Findings indicate a higher prevalence of impolite strategies among undergraduates, totaling 58 instances compared to 38 among postgraduates. Particularly, undergraduates exhibit a greater tendency toward positive impoliteness. Thematic analysis of interviews unveils three contributing factors: work experience, participation in writing skills courses, and familiarity with formality levels. Notably, undergraduates’ lack of work experience contrasts with postgraduates’, often impacting their email etiquette. Moreover, postgraduates’ extensive enrollment in writing courses during MA studies fosters a more formal approach in communication with professors. The study underscores implications for future research, emphasizing the need to explore these dynamics further. By comprehending the influences on students’ email behavior, institutions can devise tailored interventions to promote effective and respectful communication within academic setting.

Abstract
Nonlinear metasurfaces have recently been established as a new platform for generating photon pairs via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. While for classical harmonic generation in metasurfaces a high level of control over all degrees of freedom of light has been reached, this capability is yet to be developed for photon-pair generation. In this work, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate for the first time precise control of the emission angle of photon pairs generated from a nonlinear metasurface. Our measurements show angularly tunable pair generation with high coincidence-to-accidental ratio for both co- and counterpropagating emission. The underlying principle is the transverse phase matching of guided-mode resonances with strong angular dispersion in a nonlinear metasurface consisting of a silicon dioxide grating on a nonlinear lithium niobate guiding layer. We provide a straightforward design strategy for photon-pair generation in such a device and find very good agreement between the calculations and experimental results. Here, we use all-optical emission angle tuning by means of the pump wavelength; however, the principle could be extended to modulation via the electro-optic effect in lithium niobate. In sum, this work provides an important addition to the toolset of subwavelength thickness photon-pair sources.
