Published: April 2024

AbstractUltrasonography (USG) is utilized for the diagnostic and interventional management of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The management of patients with severe and/or refractory CTS includes the surgical (open/endoscopic) release of transverse carpal ligament. With the advancements in the resolution of USG, the release of transverse carpal ligament can be done safely with the help of transecting/cutting devices. We discuss the technical report on the principle of percutaneous thread carpal tunnel release with the help of surgical grade thread.
Bowel Resection Margins in Crohn's Disease: Do They Matter?
Authors: Choi Beatrix , Cohen David , Schwartzberg David M. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractMany patients with Crohn's disease (CD) will ultimately require surgical intervention for refractory disease despite recognizing that surgery does not cure CD. The initial operation, primarily for ileocolic disease, is focused on resecting the offending pathology and ideally providing a reduced likelihood for subsequent operations and additional bowel loss through surgical techniques. The appropriate margin, macro- vs. microscopic, lays in balance to provide an adequate resection that minimizes bowel loss, compared to an extensive resection which ensures a thorough resection but inherently includes the loss of normal bowel in attempts to reduce recurrent symptomatic disease. Ensuring the appropriately timed operation, performed in optimal conditions, with apt mesenteric resections and an ideal anastomotic configuration are all only part of the equation, as bowel margins play an important role in limiting surgical recurrence and maintaining bowel length. A grossly normal margin assessed by the lack of serositis and the mesenteric “pinch test” can result in an appropriate margin without sacrificing normal bowel in this group of patients who are at risk of further bowel loss from CD recurrence.

Published: April 2024

AbstractIn this article, we review and identify modifiable risk factors associated with postoperative complications of Crohn's disease. We highlight the importance of factors such as nutrition, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, abscesses, ideal timing of surgery, and biologic and small-molecule therapy on surgical outcomes. Herein, we discuss the strategies for attenuating these risk factors. Special consideration is given to venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in this patient population.

In this work, the threshold photoionization cross sections from the excited states of lutetium and ytterbium atoms were investigated by the laser pump–probe scheme under the condition of saturated resonant excitation. We obtained the resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectra of the lutetium and ytterbium atoms of the lanthanide metals in the range of 307.50–312.50 nm and 265.00–269.00 nm, respectively; the photoionization cross sections of the 5d6s(1D)6p(2D05/2) and 5d6s(3D)6p(2P01/2) states of lutetium and the 4f13(2F0)5d6s2(J = 1) states of ytterbium above threshold regions (0.4–1.6 eV) were measured, and measured values ranged from 2.3 ± 0.2 to 17.7 ± 1.5 Mb.
A cavity ringdown spectrometer for methane isotope analysis using a 1.65 µm distributed feedback diode laser with fiber optical feedback loop
Authors: Terabayashi Ryohei , Yoshida Fumiko , Kunimaru Takanori , Hasegawa Shuichi 
Published: April 2024

The development of a 1.65 µm cavity ringdown methane spectrometer for methane isotope analysis is reported. In order to reduce the laser linewidth, simple optical feedback with an 11 m external fiber cavity using a retroreflector was implemented and it improved the sensitivity. The detection limit at the ppt level for both 12CH4 and 13CH4 concentrations at 100 Torr gas pressure was evaluated from the Allan–Werle plot calculated from the dataset obtained at the fixed laser frequency. In contrast, the detection limit estimated from the baseline noise on the absorption spectrum was a few ppb for both methane isotopologues due to the periodic background oscillations that remained even after baseline correction. The system demonstrated the direct measurement of ambient methane in atmospheric room air, and the estimated 13CH4 ratio as well as the methane concentration were in good agreement with the reference values of ambient air.
Manifestations of Jinghpaw influence among Rawang speakers
Authors: LaPolla Randy J. , Kurabe Keita 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Rawang and Jinghpaw, while both considered part of the larger Kachin ethnic group, are not seen to be closely
related, though both retain proto-Tibeto-Burman forms relatively well. But as essentially all Rawang speakers speak Jinghpaw,
there are a lot of loan words from Jinghpaw in Rawang, and there is also some commonality in the structures. This paper looks at
the domains in which we find many loanwords and their paths into Rawang, and certain grammatical structures that seem to be either
direct loans from Jinghpaw into Rawang, or could be calques on Jinghpaw structures. One such pattern is an adverbial phrase with a
reduplicated adverb plus a light verb. There are also two nominalisation constructions that are relatively transparent loans from
Jinghpaw.
Exploring normal vs. service translators’ orientation in rendering
realia in The Holy Qur’an
Authors: Afrouz Mahmoud 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Realia has always been thought of as a great challenge for
translators. The native language and cultural background of a translator can be
a factor potentially affecting the selection of equivalents and translation
procedures. This paper aims to explore whether being a normal or a service
translator would have any effect on adopting source- or target-oriented
translation procedures. ‘Service translators’ are those who translate into a
foreign language, while ‘normal translators’ are those who translate into their
mother language. In other words, normal translators should be target-language
native translators. The corpus includes the realia extracted from The
Holy Qur’an and its four English translations by two service
translators (Abdel-Haleem 2005 and
Starkovsky 2005) and two normal
translators (Arberry 1955 and Abu Nasr 1985). The data were analyzed
on the basis of Liang’s (2016) model.
Findings revealed that the normal translators showed a slightly greater tendency
(1%) towards source-oriented procedures than the service translators. On the
other hand, target-oriented procedures adopted by the service translators
exceeded those of the normal translators by 0.50%.
Eye-tracking the processing of visual input of live transcripts in
remote simultaneous interpreting
Authors: Yuan Lu , Wang Binhua 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the booming of remote
simultaneous interpreting (RSI), which poses new cognitive challenges for
interpreters. This study explores how interpreters adapt to these challenges,
specifically the functionality of live transcripts generated automatically by Zoom
Meetings in RSI. The study aims to: (1) investigate whether access to live
transcripts enhances the overall performance of interpreters; (2) explore
whether RSI with live transcripts increases cognitive demands; (3) identify
visual attention patterns in RSI with live transcripts. A group of professional
interpreting trainees (N = 13) were recruited for the study to
examine their interpreting with live transcripts and interpreting without live
transcripts, which yields three preliminary findings: Firstly, using live
transcripts significantly improves overall interpreting performance. Secondly,
RSI with live transcripts is more cognitively demanding. Lastly, live
transcripts attract the highest visual attention during the interpreting
process.
Towards cultivating plurilingual selves in early-years foreign language learning
Authors: Maad Mohamed Ridha Ben 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Although plurilingualism has been extensively researched in the area of foreign-language education and identity
formation, no such effort has been equally documented outside the European context. In view of this disparity, the present article
focuses on this research area in a context where the mainstream language learning experience ascribes only peripheral importance
to the transformational value accentuated by pluringual pedagogies. It is accordingly believed that these alternative pedagogical
initiatives, such as the awakening to languages approach, language learning is a space where youngsters undergo intellectual,
affective, and attitudinal transformations. The article reports on three studies with different methodological courses, yet all
subsumed under the framework of awakening 5-to 8-year-old children to foreign languages. Both quantitative and qualitative
results, reported from this experimental triad, attested to the emergence and development of the plurilingual
self as a form of identity that is well receptive to intercultural diversity. Aside from the empirical
substance accentuating the plurilingual self as a researchable concept, the present findings would give substance
to the voices for reshuffling priorities in the early foreign language learning agenda.
Experimental study of the influence of O2 content on electrical and optical characteristics of He/CF4 APPJ
Authors: Wang Lijun , Zhao Huan , Liu Jie , Li Wei 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
CF4 is an important source of reactive F-containing species (RFS) so that it is used to mix with inert gas as the working gas of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) for material surface fluoridation modification. The addition of a small amount of O2 can increase the density of RFS in He/CF4 APPJ. Therefore, the hydrodynamic, electrical and optical properties of He/CF4/O2 APPJ interacting with the dielectric are experimentally investigated in this paper. Meanwhile, the influence of the excitation source on plasma discharge is discussed in detail and the internal mechanism of the experimental phenomenon in this paper is analyzed using the simulation results based on the model established in the previous paper. It is found that the addition of a small amount of O2 can increase the intensity and accelerate the axial propagation speed of He/CF4 APPJ due to the low ionization energy of O2 and the increase of the Penning ionization between metastable He and O2. With the increase of O2 content, the stability of the discharge is gradually enhanced due to the electron attachment reaction of O2 and the position of the primary current pulse in each half voltage cycle gradually approaches the position of the peak voltage because the increase in O2 content raises the breakdown threshold in dielectric barrier discharge region. In the presence of downstream dielectric, the addition of 0.1%O2 does not significantly change the radial development radius of APPJ due to the higher electron attachment rate and electron collision excitation loss power. The discharge pulse intensity is generally reduced compared to the absence of dielectric and the glow discharge in the strict sense no longer exists. The continuous spectrum intensity of RFS increases with the addition of a small amount of O2 while decreases significantly when O2 content is too high.
Tunable electronic, transport, and optical properties of fluorine- and hydrogen-passivated two-dimensional Ga2O3 by uniaxial strain
Authors: Zeng H , Wu M , Ma C , Fu X , Gao H 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great prospects for future-oriented optoelectronic applications, whereas the applications of conventional 2D materials are significantly impeded by their low electron mobility (⩽200 cm2 V−1 s−1). In this work, strain-mediated fluorine- and hydrogen-passivated 2D Ga2O3 systems (FGa2O3H) have been explored via using first-principles calculations with the Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerh and Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functionals. Our results reveal a considerable high electron mobility of FGa2O3H up to 4863.05 cm2 V−1 s−1 as the uniaxial tensile strain reaches 6%, which can be attributed to the enhanced overlapping of wave functions and bonding features. Overall, when applying uniaxial strain monotonously along the a(b) direction from compressive to tensile cases, the bandgaps of 2D FGa2O3H increase initially and then decrease, which originates from the changes of σ* anti-bonding in the conduction band minimum and π bonding states in the valence band maximum accompanying the lengthening Ga–O bonds. Additionally, when the tensile strain is larger than 8%, the stronger π bonding at the G point leads to an indirect-to-direct transition. Besides the highest electron mobility observed in n-type doped 2D FGa2O3H with 6% tensile strain, the electrical conductivity is enhanced and further elevated as the temperature increases from 300 K to 800 K. The variations of the absorption coefficient in the ultraviolet region are negligible with increasing tensile strain from 0% to 6%, which sheds light on its applications in high-power optoelectronic devices.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of the low- and high-order harmonic vortex beams from a single spiral phase plate illuminated by different laser wavelengths. The second harmonic (532 nm) originates from the application of the wavefront-structured 1064 nm femtosecond pulses with fractional orbital angular momentum (OAM) during propagation through a lithium triborate crystal, while the third harmonic (500 nm) originates from the application of the wavefront-structured near-IR (1500 nm) femtosecond pulses with integer OAM during propagation through a 150 μm thick fused silica plate. The topological charges (TCs) of the second and third harmonics are measured and compared. The increase in TC and the peculiarities in OAM variations during modification of the polarisation of the incident radiation are analysed and discussed. The two-colour-pump-driven second-harmonic vortex radiation interacted with an Ar gas jet to generate vortex harmonics up to the 14th order with double-lobe complex spatial profiles in the extreme ultraviolet region.
A bearing surface defect detection method based on multi-attention mechanism Yolov8
Authors: Ding Pengcheng , Zhan Hongfei , Yu Junhe , Wang Rui 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Surface defects in bearings not only affect the appearance but also impact the service life and performance. Therefore, it is imperative for bearing manufacturers to conduct quality inspections before bearings leave the factory. However, traditional visual inspection methods exhibit shortcomings such as high omission rates, insufficient feature fusion and oversized models when dealing with multiple target defects in bearings. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a surface defect detection method for bearings based on an improved Yolov8 algorithm (G-Yolov8). Firstly, a C3Ghost convolutional module based on the Ghost module is constructed in YOLOv8 to simplify model computational costs. Secondly, a global attention mechanism module is designed at the end of the backbone network to increase sensitivity to implicit small target area features and optimize feature extraction efficiency. Subsequently, a deep deformable convolution feature pyramid network is constructed by introducing the deformable convolutional networks version 2 (DCNv2) and the lightweight content-aware reassembly of features upsampling operator to reduce sampling information loss and improve the fusion of multi-scale target defects. Finally, different attention mechanisms are embedded in the detection network to construct a multi-attention detection head to replace the decoupled head, refining classification and localization tasks, reducing feature confusion, and improving the model’s detection accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm achieves a 3.5% increase in mean average precision on a self-made small-scale train bearing surface defect dataset, with a 17.3% reduction in model size. This improvement not only enhances accuracy but also addresses the requirement for lightweight deployment in subsequent stages.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics currently results in the presence of various antibiotics being detected in water bodies, which poses potential risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, it is highly significant to remove antibiotics from water. In this study, we developed novel rod-like NiCo-phyllosilicate hybrid catalysts on calcined natural zeolite (NiCo@C-zeolite) via a facile one-pot process. The presence of the zeolite served as both a silicon source and a support, maintaining a high specific surface area of the NiCo@C-zeolite. Remarkably, NiCo@C-zeolite exhibited outstanding catalytic performance in antibiotic degradation under PMS activation. Within just 5 min, the degradation rate of metronidazole (MNZ) reached 96.14%, ultimately achieving a final degradation rate of 99.28%. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of catalyst dosage, PMS dosage, MNZ concentration, initial pH value, and various inorganic anions on the degradation efficiency of MNZ. The results demonstrated that NiCo@C-zeolite displayed outstanding efficacy in degrading MNZ under diverse conditions and maintained a degradation rate of 94.86% at 60 min after three consecutive cycles of degradation. Free radical quenching experiments revealed that SO•−
4 played a significant role in the presence of NiCo@C-zeolite-PMS system. These findings indicate that the novel rod-like NiCo-phyllosilicate hybrid catalysts had excellent performance in antibiotic degradation.

Authors: Huang Yangcheng , Wang Mingjie , Li Yi-Gang , Cai Wenjie 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objective. Electrocardiographic (ECG) lead misplacement can result in distorted waveforms and amplitudes, significantly impacting accurate interpretation. Although lead misplacement is a relatively low-probability event, with an incidence ranging from 0.4% to 4%, the large number of ECG records in clinical practice necessitates the development of an effective detection method. This paper aimed to address this gap by presenting a novel lead misplacement detection method based on deep learning models. Approach. We developed two novel lightweight deep learning model for limb and chest lead misplacement detection, respectively. For limb lead misplacement detection, two limb leads and V6 were used as inputs, while for chest lead misplacement detection, six chest leads were used as inputs. Our models were trained and validated using the Chapman database, with an 8:2 train-validation split, and evaluated on the PTB-XL, PTB, and LUDB databases. Additionally, we examined the model interpretability on the LUDB databases. Limb lead misplacement simulations were performed using mathematical transformations, while chest lead misplacement scenarios were simulated by interchanging pairs of leads. The detection performance was assessed using metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and Macro F1-score. Main results. Our experiments simulated three scenarios of limb lead misplacement and nine scenarios of chest lead misplacement. The proposed two models achieved Macro F1-scores ranging from 93.42% to 99.61% on two heterogeneous test sets, demonstrating their effectiveness in accurately detecting lead misplacement across various arrhythmias. Significance. The significance of this study lies in providing a reliable open-source algorithm for lead misplacement detection in ECG recordings.

Tuning charge density wave of kagome metal ScV6Sn6
Authors: Yi Changjiang , Feng Xiaolong , Kumar Nitesh , Felser Claudia , Shekhar Chandra 
Published: April 2024

AbstractCompounds with a kagome lattice exhibit intriguing properties and the charge density wave (CDW) adds an additional layer of interest to research on them. In this study, we investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependent electrical properties under a chemical substitution and hydrostatic pressure of ScV6Sn6, a non-magnetic CDW compound. Substituting 5% Cr at the V site or applying 1.5 GPa of pressure shifts the CDW from 92 K to ∼ 50 K. This shift is attributed to the movement of the imaginary phonon band, as revealed by the phonon dispersion relation. The longitudinal and Hall resistivities respond differently under these stimuli. The magnetoresistance (MR) retains its quasilinear behavior under pressure, but it becomes quadratic after Cr substitution. The anomalous Hall-like behavior of the parent compound persists up to the respective CDW transition under pressure, after which it decreases sharply. In contrast, the longitudinal and Hall resistivities of Cr substituted compounds follow a two-band model and originate from the multi carrier effect. These results clearly highlight the role of phonon contributions in the CDW transition and call for further investigation into the origin of the anomalous Hall-like behavior in the parent compound.
