3D octopus kinematics of complex postures: Translation to long, thin, soft devices and their potential for clinical use
Authors: Weidig Garrett , Bush Brittany , Jimenez Fermin , Pelled Galit , Bush Tamara Reid 
Published: May 2024

Intro/Background
Octopuses are capable of complex arm movements. Unfortunately, experimental barriers and lack of a robust analysis method made it difficult to quantify the three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of soft, flexible bodies, such as the octopus arm. This information is not only crucial for understanding the posture of the animal’s arm but also for the development of similarly designed soft, flexible devices.

Obj/Goal
The primary goal of this work was to create a method to comprehensively quantify complex, 3D postures of octopus (Octopus Bimaculoides) arms in a manner that is conducive and translatable to octopus arm-inspired devices for health monitoring and rehabilitation.

Methods
In this study, 3D underwater motion capture was used to collect kinematic data on both live octopuses and disembodied arms that still had neural activity. A new method was developed to define how arm curvature and regional segments were oriented relative to each other in 3D. This included identification of the bend within a segment along with the computation of the relative orientation between segments, thus permitting the complete quantification of complex arm motions.

Results
By comparing vector-based and radius of curvature-based approaches to magnitude of curvature, it was clear that the vector-based approach was less dependent on the length of a segment and that its reported ranges of motion were translatable for outcome measures associated with clinical use. The new approach for the relative orientation of each segment of the octopus arm resulted in the capability of describing the octopus arm in many unique postures, such as straight, simple bending, and complex bending as it utilized the three rotational angles.

Outcome/Impact
This method and its application to octopus arms will yield new information that can be used to better communicate and track not only octopus arm movements but in the development of complex, segmented, soft-bodied devices that can be used in health monitoring and rehabilitation.
Are patients ready for discharge from the hospital after fast-track total knee arthroplasty?-A qualitative study
Authors: You Simeng , Li Na , Guo Manjie , Ji Hong 
Published: May 2024

Background
The fast-track based on evidence-based medicine, has dramatically reduced the length of stay for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, patients must assume the responsibility for self-functional exercise and care as early as possible. Also, higher standards and expectations of care delivery have been set. Studies into patients’ experiences when faced with a discharge decision under a fast-track program are lacking.

Objectives
(1) Increase the knowledge about patients’ experiences of discharged from hospital via a fast-track process after TKA. (2) Explore what gaps exist in the current discharge preparation care service for TKA under fast-track and what can be improved.

Methods
A qualitative research design was chosen to conduct semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 21 patients from one Chinese hospital who successfully underwent TKA and received discharge orders. Interview data were meticulously analyzed, summarized and thematically distilled using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).

Results
Three themes emerged from the structural analyses: a) Preparing for discharge despite concerns about symptoms-a sense of joy at discharge despite feelings of helplessness, stigmatisation, anxiety about prosthetic function. b) Managing the rehabilitation difficulties-vigilance is needed for medication management, environmental changes, and intimate relationships. c) Creating conditions for safe transition-compassionate bedside manner, listening to patients, and providing a humanized continuing care and referral services are important for safe transitions.

Conclusion
Findings suggest that patients undergoing fast-track TKA report good discharge preparation experiences. However, closer analysis reveals difficulties with this process and important directions in which discharge readiness care services can strive.

Published: May 2024

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of pre- and post-encounter patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure collection within an outpatient integrative health and medicine (IHM) clinic and to characterize factors associated with successful completion.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of 27,464 outpatient IHM encounters including 9,520 chiropractic; 8,237 acupuncture; 5,847 massage; 2,345 IHM consultation; and 1,515 osteopathic manipulation treatment encounters at four clinics offering IHM over 18 months. Patients were asked to complete paper questionnaires rating pain, anxiety, and stress from 0–10 immediately pre- and post-encounter. Generalized linear mixed effect regression models were used to examine the relationship between demographic, clinical, and operational covariates and completing (1) pre-encounter and (2) paired (i.e., pre and post) PROs.ResultsPatients (N= 5587, mean age 49 years, 74% white, 77% female) generally presented for musculoskeletal conditions (81.7%), with a chief complaint of pain (55.1%). 21,852 (79.6%) encounters were among patients who completed pre-encounter PROs; 11,709/21,852 (53.6%) completed subsequent post-encounter PROs. Odds of PRO completion were more impacted by provider, operational, and clinical-level factors than patient factors. Covariates associated with increased odds of pre-encounter PRO completion included being female, having additional IHM encounters, and having a pain or anxiety complaint. Covariates associated with increased odds of paired PRO completion included being aged 31–40 vs. 51–60 years and having additional IHM encounters.ConclusionImplementing a paper-based PRO collection system in outpatient IHM is feasible; however, collecting post-encounter PROs was challenging. Future endeavors should leverage the electronic health record and patient portals to optimize PRO collection and engage patients and clinical providers.
Predictors of cochlear implant outcomes in pediatric auditory neuropathy: A matched case-control study
Authors: Jafari Zahra , Fitzpatrick Elizabeth M. , Schramm David R. , Rouillon Isabelle , Koravand Amineh 
Published: May 2024

Objectives
Current evidence supports the benefits of cochlear implants (CIs) in children with hearing loss, including those with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). However, there is limited evidence regarding factors that hold predictive value for intervention outcomes.

Design
This retrospective case-control study consisted of 66 children with CIs, including 22 with ANSD and 44 with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) matched on sex, age, age at CI activation, and the length of follow-up with CIs (1:2 ratio). The case and control groups were compared in the results of five open-set speech perception tests, and a Forward Linear Regression Model was used to identify factors that can predict the post-CI outcomes.

Results
There was no significant difference in average scores between the two groups across five outcome measures, ranging from 88.40% to 95.65%. The correlation matrix revealed that younger ages at hearing aid fitting and CI activation positively influenced improvements in speech perception test scores. Furthermore, among the variables incorporated in the regression model, the duration of follow-up with CIs, age at CI activation, and the utilization of two CIs demonstrated prognostic significance for improved post-CI speech perception outcomes.

Conclusions
Children with ANSD can achieve similar open-set speech perception outcomes as children with SNHL. A longer CI follow-up, a lower age at CI activation, and the use of two CIs are predictive for optimal CI outcome.

'The reality is that technology is doing more harm than good in our schools' says education chief (Bagshaw, 2016, article title). This April 1st headline for a Sydney Morning Herald article was no April Fool's joke. It referenced comments made in an address by OECD education director Andreas Schleicher at a global education forum. The statement is quite poignant for the ASCILITE (2016) conference given its theme is 'Show me the learning' focussing upon 'demonstration of learning aided by the adoption of technology in the education space' (para 4). This paper will examine questions raised by these comments, vignettes from a doctoral study that offer some answers to them, and propose the need for holistic assessment of contexts to more fully understand what is happening within them. It is suggested that while this paper is particularly relevant to initial teacher education, the principles are applicable to tertiary education more broadly.
Kooperation, Koproduktion und Widerstand: Der Fall der „Iddir“ Begräbnisvereine als Akteure in der Stadtentwicklung von Addis Abeba
Authors: Baron Nicole 
Published: May 2024

ZusammenfassungGlobale Entwicklungsagenden fordern die Beteiligung der Zivilgesellschaft an der Umsetzung nachhaltiger Stadtentwicklung, aber es ist wenig darüber bekannt, wie diese Forderung im Lichte afrikanischer städtischer Realitäten umgesetzt wird. Dieser Artikel untersucht dieses Thema am Beispiel der „Iddir“ in Addis Abeba, Äthiopien. Die Iddir sind von Bürger*innen getragene Nachbarschafts- und Begräbnisvereine. Sie unterstützen ihre Mitglieder im Trauerfall, dienen aber auch als informelle Krankenversicherungen und lokale Entwicklungsgruppen. Allein in der äthiopischen Hauptstadt gibt es über 7.800 von ihnen. Das Wissen über ihre aktuelle Rolle in der Stadt- und Quartiersentwicklung ist jedoch lückenhaft und spiegelt den viel diskutierten Mangel an wissenschaftlichen Daten und Theorien aus dem globalen Süden wider. Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Einblick in die vorhandene Literatur zu Iddir in der Stadt- und Quartiersentwicklung und beleuchtet Kooperationsformen mit kommunalen Akteur*innen in Addis Abeba. Gegenwärtig gibt es ein wachsendes Interesse an der Erforschung der Interaktion von Zivilgesellschaft und Staat in der afrikanischen Stadt, um Wissenslücken in Bezug auf städtische Governance und die Entwicklung afrikanischer Städte zu schließen und globale Agenden angesichts der Realitäten afrikanischer Städte zu relativieren.
Leiblicher Glaube
Authors: Winter-Tietel Roman 
Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
In der gegenwärtigen Diskussion um Leiblichkeit wird der Glaubensbegriff nur selten thematisiert. Dieser Beitrag reflektiert ausgehend von der Neuen Phänomenologie die leibliche Bedingung des christlichen Glaubens als Selbstaffektion Gottes. Mit Rekurs auf Michel Henry und Meister Eckhart wird die Gottesgeburt in den Seelengrund als eine Bewegung des Lebens verstanden, die den menschlichen Leib als Fleisch lebendig und affektiv erfüllt. Im Anschluss daran wird der Glaubensbegriff als ein Vermögen entwickelt, worin Gott sich als Gabe in einem Sich des Menschen selbstaffiziert und erkennt. Korrelativ dazu wird ein Verständnis der Sünde skizziert, das im Vergessen dieser Gottesgeburt als Sohn wurzelt.
Finite Freedom and its split from the Absolute in Schelling’s Bruno
Authors: Rodríguez Juan José 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The dialogue Bruno of 1802 is arguably the natural starting point for any investigation on the concepts of finitude, evil and human freedom in Schelling’s middle metaphysics. In this dialogue the author elaborates for the first time in his system a concept of freedom and independence of the finite, which extends via his reformulation in Philosophy and Religion of 1804 to the Freedom Essay of 1809 and beyond to the works of 1810 and 1811 – Stuttgart Private Lectures and The Ages of the World. The central ontological problem of the dialogue relates to the possibility of a separation between the absolute and the world as space of finite beings, which, according to the system of identity first presented in 1801, cannot exist as such. The question we will then address concerns the status of the finite as such and how would it be possible to admit both its existence for consciousness and the positing of an absolute and infinite principle of philosophy. We will show how Schelling’s interest shifts, almost unintentionally, from the infinite principle to the finite as such, as a principle of freedom and self-initiation independent of the real.
Reanimating Public Happiness: Reading Cavarero and Butler beyond Arendt
Authors: Borg Kurt 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article takes as its point of departure Hannah Arendt’s discussion of public happiness, contextualising it within her thoughts on politics, democracy and revolution. It draws on Arendt’s discussion of how the expression “pursuit of happiness” has historically shifted from a public understanding of happiness into an increasingly privatised one. The article engages with Arendt’s account of public happiness in order to reanimate her radical democratic critique of how representative politics reduces the scope of political action and participation; and how the notion of happiness in a neoliberal era can only be interpreted in economistic and subjectivist terms. Furthermore, the article turns to examine how recent works in contemporary political thought, namely, those by Adriana Cavarero and Judith Butler, extend and transform the stakes of Arendt’s account of public happiness. On one hand, Cavarero’s notion of surging democracy is considered as an account of radical politics that keeps alive the Arendtian concern with public happiness by contextualising it within contemporary political struggles and social movements. On the other hand, Butler problematises Arendt’s discussion of politics for its neglect of precarity; however, this article argues that Butler’s work on assembly extends Arendt’s by highlighting possibilities of resistance, radical democracy and even public happiness amid experiences of loss and grief. Although prima facie it might appear that happiness and precarity are opposed to each other, this article points towards contemporary political practices, such as those of Ni Una Menos, that are critically reanimating public happiness through the intertwining of affective registers that range from joy to grief.
Investigation of radioactivity concentrations and soil-to-plant transfer factors in soil samples taken from different distance zones to the Metsamor nuclear power plant

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Monitoring radioactivity around nuclear power plants is important to avoid the risks of radiation. This study provides an overview of the radioactive emission impact on the near surroundings of the Metsamor nuclear power plant in Armenia. In this context, 29 soil samples were collected from the 40, 80, 120, 160 km radius areas determined in the direction of Iğdır province by accepting the Metsamor nuclear power plant as the center. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in soil samples ranged from 7.90 to 23.44, 7.11 to 33.55, 132.54 to 502.69 and 0.33 to 17.61 Bq/kg, respectively. In addition, the radioactivity concentrations in some agricultural products and the transfer factors from soil to plant were determined. As a result, there is no significant radiological risk in terms of studied radioisotopes for people living in this region.
A rágalmazás „tényállása” az Ószövetségben és a rabbinikus jogtudományban
Authors: Ruff Tibor 
Published: May 2024

The Law of Moses, the Torah, does not explicitly divide the crimes that can be committed in the field of communication into criminal and civil categories, contrary to the legal system of modern and postmodern European states. In the theocratic legal system of the ancient state of Israel, where all sins against human beings were first and foremost offences against God (i.e., being a holy nation, they were also a matter of holiness), this distinction was at most separable in the way in which cases were dealt with, and in the fact that prosecution of certain crimes was mandatory, while prosecution of others was, in modern terms, on the basis of private accusation. The Ten Commandments forbid two acts of communication: the vain (empty, meaningless, false, blasphemous, etc.) use of the name of God (Yhwh), and, in human relations, bearing false witness against someone. In my study, I intend to give an overview of the latter element of the Ten Commandments as a general clause, using the Torah and the sources of rabbinic jurisprudence and relevant literature in a historical context.
“The Part of the Music Industry That God Forgot”
Authors: Blakeley Ryan 
Published: May 2024

In October 2020, the B2B (business-to-business) background music company Soundtrack Your Brand—formerly Spotify Business—launched the world’s first full-catalog on-demand streaming service for background music. Although background music providers have licensed, curated, and distributed music to businesses for nearly a century, they have only recently started embracing the new possibilities of streaming. Now, streaming is rapidly influencing the background music industry’s features, music selection practices, and economics. While scholars in music and media studies have extensively studied B2C (business-to-consumer) streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, they have largely neglected streaming’s impact on background music.
This article investigates how streaming is impacting the B2B background music industry, drawing upon platform analysis, marketing materials, and interviews with background music CEOs and researchers. After reviewing background music’s history and effects, the article examines how streaming is influencing business-oriented background music features, such as scheduling, zoning, messaging, and monitoring. It then considers streaming’s impact on background music selection practices, demonstrating how businesses are increasingly using features popularized by mainstream consumer services, such as playlists, algorithmic recommendations, and massive catalogs of music. The final section explores how streaming is shaping the economics of the background music industry, particularly for rightsholders who have historically been underpaid billions of dollars in public performance royalties. I argue that streaming may improve background music’s efficiency for businesses, but it also potentially reifies broader concerns about social control, surveillance, and inequitable artist remuneration that have become increasingly prevalent in the streaming age.
Recommendations to Improve Neonatal Circumcision Training
Authors: Rosen Jennifer , Rosoklija Ilina , Walton Ryan F. , Matoka Derek J. , Seager Catherine M. , Maizels Max , Holl Jane L. , Johnson Emilie K. 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Although multiple specialties perform neonatal circumcision (NC), overall NC proceduralist availability is limited. The approach to training new practitioners varies. This study aims to describe NC training experiences, current practices, and make suggestions for future improvements.

METHODS
Perinatal physicians across 11 hospitals in a large Midwestern United States city who perform NC or who conduct newborn examinations and provide circumcision counseling were recruited for semistructured interviews about NC care. Interviews were transcribed; training-related comments underwent inductive and deductive qualitative coding. Themes related to circumcision training and recommendations for improving the experience of future circumcision learners were summarized.

RESULTS
Twenty-three physicians (10 family medicine, 8 pediatrics, and 5 obstetrics; 78% currently perform circumcision) participated. All participants conducted newborn examinations and provided circumcision counseling, but only 21/23 were trained to perform circumcision. Several themes related to training emerged: (1) personal training experience, (2) training others to perform circumcision, and (3) current training needs and barriers. Most reported learning in residency by a “see one, do one, teach one” approach with minimal formal didactic or structured training. Compared with their personal experience, participants noted a shift toward more direct supervision and preprocedure preparation for current trainees. However, most reported that circumcision learning continues to be “hands-on.” Participants desired a more structured approach for future trainees.

CONCLUSIONS
Perinatal physicians noted a shift in the current NC training to a more hands-on approach than they experienced personally. Development of a structured NC curriculum was recommended to improve training.
