VOLKSMED Database: A Source for Forgotten Wound Healing Plants in Austrian Folk Medicine
Authors: Eichenauer Elisabeth , Saukel Johannes , Glasl Sabine 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe global increase in the incidence of wounds is concerning and fuels the search for new treatment options. The use of traditional medicinal plants in wound healing represents an appreciated available therapeutic possibility. This work introduces the VOLKSMED database, which contains plants and other materials used in Austrian folk medicine, either as monographs or mixtures. This work focuses on the monographs of the database. Concerning wound healing, Hypericum sp., Arnica montana, Calendula officinalis, Plantago sp., and Malva sp. are the most commonly used plants. The focus of this paper is set on selected lesser-known plants (Abies alba, Anthyllis vulneraria, Brassica sp., Gentiana sp., Larix decidua, Picea abies, Sambucus sp., Sanicula europaea) and their status quo in literature concerning wound healing. A systematic search using the databases SciFinder, SCOPUS, and PubMed yielded substantial evidence for the wound
healing potential of Brassica sp., Gentiana sp., the Pinaceae A. abies, L. decidua, and P. abies, as well as Sambucus nigra. In vivo and clinical studies substantiate their use in Austrian folk medicine. According to the literature, especially A. vulneraria, Sambucus racemosa, and S. europaea would be worth investigating in-depth since data concerning their wound healing effects – even though scarce – are convincing. In conclusion, the VOLKSMED database contains promising opportunities for further treatment options in the field of wound healing. Future research should consider the listed plants to support their traditional use in Austrian folk medicine and possibly promote the implementation of old knowledge in modern medicine.

AbstractAntimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an evolving treatment strategy against human pathogenic microbes such as the Candida species, including the emerging pathogen C. auris. Using a modified EUCAST protocol, the light-enhanced antifungal activity of the natural compound parietin was explored. The photoactivity was evaluated against three separate strains of five yeasts, and its molecular mode of action was analysed via several techniques, i.e., cellular uptake, reactive electrophilic species (RES), and singlet oxygen yield. Under experimental conditions (λ = 428 nm, H = 30 J/cm2, PI = 30 min), microbial growth was inhibited by more than 90% at parietin concentrations as low as c = 0.156 mg/L (0.55 µM) for C. tropicalis and Cryptococcus neoformans, c = 0.313 mg/L (1.10 µM) for C. auris, c = 0.625 mg/L (2.20 µM) for C. glabrata, and c = 1.250 mg/L (4.40 µM) for C. albicans. Mode-of-action analysis
demonstrated fungicidal activity. Parietin targets the cell membrane and induces cell death via ROS-mediated lipid peroxidation after light irradiation. In summary, parietin exhibits light-enhanced fungicidal activity against all Candida species tested (including C. auris) and Cryptococcus neoformans, covering three of the four critical threats on the WHOʼs most recent fungal priority list.

Authors: Vinayaka G.J. , Sharmad M.S. , Peethambaran Anil Kumar , Kutty Raja K. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Background Posttraumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) is an important cause of morbidity after decompressive craniectomy (DC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Early diagnosis and treatment of PTH can prevent further neurological compromise in patients who are recovering from TBI.
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the proportion of patients who develop hydrocephalus after undergoing DC and to identify the factors associated with PTH requiring surgical treatment in patients undergoing DC for TBI.
Methods Data of patients undergoing DC for TBI in the Trauma Neurosurgery Unit, Medical College Hospital, Trivandrum, between June and December 2020 were collected prospectively.
Results A total of 48 patients who underwent DC were studied. Six (12.5%) patients developed PTH. The patients were divided into two groups: PTH (patients who developed hydrocephalus) and non-PTH (patients who did not develop hydrocephalus). Age, sex, mode of injury, severity of injury, and preoperative radiological findings were not associated with the development of PTH. A distance of craniectomy margin from the midline of less than 2.5 cm was found to be statistically significant. No statistical difference was found in the outcome among the PTH and non-PTH groups.
Conclusion Craniectomy with a superior limit too close to the midline can predispose patients undergoing DC to the development of hydrocephalus. We therefore suggest performing wide DCs with the superior limit greater than 25 mm from the midline.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this article was to assess the flow capacity of end-to-side arterial anastomosis depending on the method of its implementation.
Materials and Methods The study was conducted on 30 live Wistar rats in vivo, which were randomly divided into three groups. In each group of animals, an end-to-side microanastamosis was performed using three methods of donor artery preparation: 45 degrees (group A), 90 degrees (group B), and arteriotomy according to the “fish mouth” type (group C). The determination of flow capacity of anastomosis by measuring the blood volume flow with transonic flowmeter was performed.
Results The obtained average values after the anastomosis were, respectively, 7.335 mL/s (standard deviation [SD]: 2.0771; min: 4.05; max: 10.85), 7.36 mL/s (SD: 0.836 mi: 6.15; max: 8.75), and 6.37 mL/s (SD: 1.247; min: 5.05; max: 9.05). No statistically significant difference in the blood volume flow velocity between all types of anastomoses was obtained (p = 0.251).
Conclusion The flow capacity of end-to-side arterial anastomosis does not depend on the chosen method of anastomosis.

Abstract
Introduction Controlling the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) is an important consideration in patients with intracranial steno-occlusive disease to avoid reductions in critical perfusion from vasoconstriction due to hypocapnia, or reductions in blood flow due to steal physiology during hypercapnia. However, the normal range for resting PCO2 in this patient population is not known. Therefore, we investigated the variability in resting end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) in patients with intracranial steno-occlusive disease and the impact of revascularization on resting PETCO2 in these patients.
Setting and Design Tertiary care center, retrospective chart review
Materials and Methods We collected resting PETCO2 values in adult patients with intracranial steno-occlusive disease who presented to our institution between January 2010 and June 2021. We also explored postrevascularization changes in resting PETCO2 in a subset of patients.
Results Two hundred and twenty-seven patients were included [moyamoya vasculopathy (n = 98) and intracranial atherosclerotic disease (n = 129)]. In the whole cohort, mean ± standard deviation resting PETCO2 was 37.8 ± 3.9 mm Hg (range: 26–47). In patients with moyamoya vasculopathy and intracranial atherosclerotic disease, resting PETCO2 was 38.4 ± 3.6 mm Hg (range: 28–47) and 37.4 ± 4.1 mm Hg (range: 26–46), respectively. A trend was identified suggesting increasing resting PETCO2 after revascularization in patients with low preoperative resting PETCO2 (<38 mm Hg) and decreasing resting PETCO2 after revascularization in patients with high preoperative resting PETCO2 (>38 mm Hg).
Conclusion This study demonstrates that resting PETCO2 in patients with intracranial steno-occlusive disease is highly variable. In some patients, there was a change in resting PETCO2 after a revascularization procedure.

Abstract
Introduction Almost 25% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have synchronous colorectal liver metastasis (SCLM) coinciding with the disease diagnosis. Liver-first approach for the treatment of SCLM involves neoadjuvant chemotherapy, subsequent liver resection, and then primary tumor resection. This strategy is adopted as the prognosis of the disease depends mainly on the metastases, not the primary tumor.This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the liver-first approach and clinical prognosis in managing SCLM.
Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 25 patients with SCLM from July 2015 to July 2020. All patients were subjected to a liver-first approach with an “intention-to-treat” approach. Follow-up was planned for at least 3 years. Data were collected from the hospital records and included survival rates and univariate analyses of the prognostic factors, such as gender, age, and number of chemotherapy cycles to evaluate their effect on the survival probability.
Results Nineteen patients completed the treatment paradigm. Long-term outcomes reported a median overall survival (OS) of 32 months. One-year and 3-year survival probabilities were 89.5% and 42.1%, respectively. The median disease-free survival was 13 months. The number of metastatic lesions, unilobar versus bilobar disease, and the frequency of administered chemotherapy cycles significantly affected survival (p < 0.05). Seven patients (36.84%) remained disease free (no recurrence) while 2 patients (10.53%) survived with recurrence. The overall mortality included 10 deaths (52.63%) due to recurrence.
Conclusion Synchronous colorectal liver metastasis treated with the liver-first approach achieved a notable overall advantage. However, the recurrence rate remained relatively high.
Body condition in an endangered minnow is variable but not strongly related to environmental conditions
Authors: Archdeacon Thomas P. , Dunnum Paige M. 
Published: June 2024

Seasonal patterns in body condition may help identify sensitive time periods or environmental stressors in fishes. Our objectives were to document spatiotemporal patterns of body condition of wild and hatchery-released Rio Grande silvery minnows (Hybognathus amarus), an endangered species endemic to the Rio Grande basin of North America. We collected fish weekly or bi-weekly from February to September, 2017 through 2019, in the Rio Grande, New Mexico, USA. Our time-series spanned an extreme drought year in 2018, allowing us to observe changes in body condition in relation to markedly different flow conditions. We collected body measurements from 2520 RGSM during the 3 years of our study. Spatiotemporal patterns in body condition were evident among and within years and sampling reaches, but within-sample variation in body condition was high. Annual patterns did not appear to be related to annual flow regime. Recaptured hatchery-reared fish were in slightly lower body condition, but followed the same seasonal patterns as did wild fish. Contrary to our expectations, body condition in both females and males was higher during the extreme drought year of 2018. Body condition may not be useful for identifying environmental stressors in small-bodied, short-lived fishes because individual variability is greater than spatial or temporal variation.
Chinglish as border languaging
Authors: Du Qian , Lee Jerry Won 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In an era where migration across borders is increasingly the norm, how are our understandings of language and the
ways we talk about language being reimagined along the way? This article examines this question by attending to the shifting
metadiscourses of “Chinglish,” a colloquialism referring to Chinese-English hybridizations. Chinglish, originally used to describe
an incompetent interlanguage, has come to be invoked as a means of establishing “China English” as a legitimate world English
variety, or more recently even as an innovative form of translingual practice. This article presents Chinglish as a form of
“border languaging,” which enables us to take stock of the shifting meanings of Chinglish in relation to the linguistic “border”
between English and Chinese upon which such metadiscursive framings hinge, and how the shifting orientations to such linguistic
borders invite new ways of conceptualizing Chinglish and historically marginalized language practices more generally.
Metaphor as a resemblance phenomenon
Authors: Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez Francisco José 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) departed from tradition in metaphor studies by treating this phenomenon as an
ordinary one used in everyday reasoning. From its inception, this theory made emphasis on the role of experiential correlation in
accounting for metaphorical thought to the detriment of its long-standing treatment in terms of similarity. This experientialist
thesis was later strengthened by making it part of a broader theoretical framework that treated correlation metaphor as an
embodied phenomenon where an essential part of its role in reasoning was due to its ability to give rise to conceptual conflation.
Against the background provided by this theoretical context, this article reexamines the role of correlation, conflation, and
embodiment in terms of two distinctions: low and high-level similarity, on the one hand, and structural and non-structural
similarity, on the other hand. The analytical categories that support these distinctions are used to provide an improved
understanding of the nature of metaphorical thought, including correlation metaphor, structural metaphor, several forms of
analogy, synesthetic metaphor, and metaphorical amalgams.
A cognitive-pragmatic account of the structural elements of the ironic event
Authors: Lozano-Palacio Inés 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article discusses the ironist, the interpreter, and the target as structural elements of irony from a cognitive-linguistic standpoint. It builds on the scenario-based approach to irony, where ironic meaning is taken as a contextually adjustable inference that results from a clash between epistemic and attested conceptual scenarios. The article provides a classification of ironist, interpreter, and target types, and then it discusses the functions of irony (i.e., attacking, mocking, being playful, showing off, and persuading) and the solidarity component involved in ironic production and interpretation. It further explains the factors involved in the identification of the epistemic and the attested scenarios, and those involved in the interpretation of irony. The resulting analysis of the structural elements of irony endows the study of irony with greater descriptive delicacy and explanatory adequacy.
Foreign accent identification, prototypicality, and lectometric methods
Authors: Jurado-Bravo María Ángeles 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Lects constitute prototype categories (Gitte Kristiansen 2003). This
implies that central/prototypical speakers are more easily identified as members of a specific lect (Kristiansen et al. 2018). The prototypicality of elements within natural categories have generally been
measured through direct questions, indirect questions, or reaction time. Nonetheless, abstract categories (e.g., foreign accents)
may be difficult to examine via questions. Following previous research that analyzed the use of the Levenshtein Distance (LD)
(Vladimir I. Levenshtein 1965) to predict foreign-accentedness (Martijn Benjamin Wieling et al. 2014) or the intelligibility of foreign accents (Jurado-Bravo 2021), this study explores the use of LD as a predictor of prototypicality
of Spanish-accented English. The LD between 50 Spanish speakers of English and different prototype benchmarks were calculated.
These recordings were used as speech stimuli in an accent identification test. Reaction time measures were collected and
correlated to the calculated LD. Results suggest that the LD to the stereotypical prototype can partly predict the prototypicality
of Spanish-accented English.
Embodied semantic parameters for the lexical representation of spatial relational categories
Authors: Navarro i Ferrando Ignasi 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis paper proposes an explanatory model for the lexical representation of the native speakers’ lexical knowledge of English prepositions. Lexical knowledge of prepositions as relational predicates includes argument structure (trajector-landmark) as inCognitive Grammar, situation types (position vs state) as inFunctional Grammar, lexical hierarchies (spatial subdomains) based on semantic primitives, as inNatural Semantic Metalanguage, and embodied perceptual parameters configured in four dimensions, namely, geometry, topology, force-dynamics and function (fromCognitive Linguistics). This model is illustrated here by expounding three lexical templates compatible with constructional templates in theLexical Constructional Model, representing the semantic decomposition of English prepositionsat,onandin.
The language of sexual violence and impropriety
Authors: Vessey Rachelle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In Canada, which has two official languages, sexual violence and impropriety have been identified as problems in
the military for at least 25 years (see Duval-Lantoine 2022). In the military’s efforts
to address these problems, the institutional language has been identified as problematic (Deschamps 2015; Arbour 2022). This paper addresses the labels for sexual
violence and impropriety in Canadian English and French using large corpora of language data: the Corpus of Historical American
English, the Corpus of Contemporary Amerian English, the enTenTen20 corpus, the frTenTen20 corpus, the Strathy Corpus, and the
Canadian Hansard. Findings show differences between the most widely used labels in American and Canadian data and between English
and French. This raises questions about the labels adopted by the Canadian military and the extent to which sexual violence and
impropriety can be addressed without a critical review of the language in use.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The langasite (LGS) SAW are often used in high temperature wireless passive sensing above 1000 °C. And the about 400 nm thick metal electrodes film such as platinum-rhodium (Pt-Rh) are usually used to avoid high-temperature melting, however it could seriously pull down the quality factor and sensitivity of SAW sensors because the heavy metal electrodes result in high reflection coefficient and mass loading effect. In order to satisfy the thick electrode and the high-quality factor of SAW sensors simultaneously, this paper developed a new mode SAW which is based on the bound states in the continuum (BIC) on (0, 138.5°, θ) LGS wafers. The BIC-mode SAW sensor with a 410 nm thick Pt-Rh show an extremely high Q factor, which is four times to traditional SAW. The high temperature testing verified this BIC-state SAW sensor can maintain high quality (Q) factor after 1200 °C for 3 h.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Super microgenerator (SMG) refers to a generator that can efficiently convert extremely weak external stimuli into electrical energy and has a small size, high power density and long lifespan, offer ground-breaking solutions for powering wearable devices, wireless distributed sensors and implanted medical equipment. However, the friction and wear between the interfaces of ordinary microgenerator results in an extremely low lifespan. Here, we present a prototype of SMGs based on a 2D–2D (graphite–MoS2) Schottky contact in the state of structural superlubricity (no wear and nearly zero friction between two contacted solid surfaces). What is even more interesting is when the graphite flake is slid from the bulk to the edge of MoS2, the output current will enhance from 31 to 56 A m−2. Through the I–V curve measurement, we found that the conductive channel across the junction can be activated and further enhanced at the edge of MoS2 compare to bulk, which provide the explanation for the above-mentioned edge enhancement of power generation. Above results provide the design principles of high-performance SMGs based on 2D–2D Schottky junctions.
Understanding the role of Niobium, Molybdenum and Tungsten in realizing of the transparent n-type SnO2

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Based on the density functional theory, the defective band structures (DBSs), ionization energy and formation energy for Niobium (Nb), Molybdenum (Mo) and Tungsten (W)-doped SnO2 are calculated. The DBSs show Nb, Mo and W substituting Sn (labeled as NbSn, MoSn and WSn) could form the localized impurity states which are above the conduction band minimum (CBM). These characteristics can be attributed to the energy of dopants’ d-orbitals are much higher than that of Sn-s and -d orbital as well as O-2p orbitals, and the dopants with their neighboring atoms would form the non-bonding impurity states. The DBSs confirm NbSn, MoSn and WSn are typical n-type defects in SnO2. The ionization energies ϵ(0/+) for NbSn, MoSn and WSn are higher than 0.22 eV above CBM, indicating these defects could be fully ionized. We find the NbO and MoO3 are promising dopant sources, as the thermodynamic equilibrium fabrication scheme is considered. Taking Nb-doped SnO2 as an example, we find a few NbSn could induce high conductivity (541 S cm−1). These results suggest that SnO2 containing NbSn, MoSn and WSn are promising n-type semiconductors. Our findings would provide a better understanding of the n-type properties in Nb, Mo and W-doped SnO2.
