Published: April 2024

To solve the problem of transmission line galloping monitoring for optical power grounded waveguides (OPGWs) in external field environments, we propose a low-noise monitoring array based on adjacent sensors with low reflectivity fiber Bragg grating (FBG). We analyze the interference signal models for adjacent FBG sensors, and based on them, a noise suppression method by using adaptive filter input is constructed. Then we simulate the noise suppression effect of the proposed algorithm under different noise conditions. Finally, we deploy the low-noise OPGW transmission line galloping monitoring system based on low reflectivity FBGs in China’s western autonomous prefecture with a 220 kV transmission line. The experimental results show that, after adaptive filtering using adjacent sensors, the average noise power spectral density is reduced by 6.5 dB, and the algorithm optimizes the monitoring intensity spectrum. Oscillation events of about 100 m can be clearly observed within the monitoring interval. It creates certain conditions for further improving the typical event classification data processing and pattern recognition database for OPGWs and demonstrates promising prospects for engineering applications.
Poetic content [Poeticheskoe soderzhanie]
Authors: Etkind Efim 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The text is a translation from Russian of the first chapter of Soviet theorist Efim Etkind’s 1963 work Poeziia i perevod [Poetry and Translation], in slightly abridged form. Etkind
is a vital figure within the translation milieu of the ‘Thaw’ era of the late 1950s and early 1960s, when there
was a policy of de-Stalinization and a degree of liberalization. Etkind’s insightful work on poetry translation using comparative
stylistics reflected, in some ways, the cultural-political environment of the time. It differed radically from the Realist
approach of Ivan Kashkin, who was influenced by Socialist Realism and Stalin-era rhetoric. Etkind pushed the boundaries of what
could be said about translation. His apparently apolitical approach was in fact strongly politicized in the Soviet context, and
his choice of authors and translators to discuss evidenced his sympathy for those out of favor with the regime and for fellow
Jews. Appendices – including a glossary of poetic terms and some biographical notes – are attached for the reader’s benefit.
Whose Body Really Belongs Here? Multispecies Encounters in Outdoor Leisure
Authors: Dashper Katherine 
Published: April 2024

Summary
This case study considers the ways in which multispecies leisure – in this case horse-riding – opens up different perspectives on the question of whose bodies really belong in outdoor leisure spaces? Vignettes are used to explore the ways in which the presence of the nonhuman participant – the horse – facilitates different kinds of encounters with other users (human and nonhuman), transforming the experience of outdoor leisure. Multispecies leisure provides opportunities to experience outdoor leisure spaces through a different lens which deprioritises human senses and interests and questions the assumed primacy and belongingness of humans in these more-than-human leisure environments.

Strategic Dynamics of Social Mimicry
Authors: Fearon James D 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter develops a game-theoretic model with a view to specifying the nature of the strategic interaction in social mimicry and to producing comparative statics results interpretable for this class of situations. It starts by noting that social mimicry has the underlying structure of a betting game, with mimicry attempts being analogous to bluffing in poker. It then formalizes the model and summarizes the key comparative statics, before discussing evolutionary dynamics and illustrating them in several contexts: fake IDs, taxpayers, IRA operatives, and potential victims of genocide. An important insight is that the rates at which mimicry is attempted and succeeds depend on how much the target (or ‘dupe’) cares about stopping it versus the costs of doing so, and not on how much mimics want to pass or their costs for getting caught trying.
Mimicry and Its Double in the Iraqi Civil War
Authors: Holmes Stephen 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 sparked one of the most violent and complex civil wars in the early twenty-first century, one that provided ample opportunities and incentives for identity mimicry. This chapter uses the Iraqi civil war of 2006–2008 to understand the many forms that mimicry can take and the effects it may have in a modern conflict setting. It offers detailed descriptions of a wide range of defensive and aggressive mimicry tactics employed by all sides in the conflict as well as the counter-strategies they inspired. A striking feature of the Iraqi mimicry landscape was the phenomenon of policemen pretending to be members of sectarian death squads pretending to be policemen, a type of meta-mimicry intended to conceal the actual involvement of policemen in sectarian killings. Mimicry likely contributed to, and was subsequently somewhat reduced by, the sorting of Sunnis and Shiites into separate areas and to the retrenchment of the US presence into heavily fortified bases.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
Rippling remains one of the most common complications following prepectoral implant-based reconstruction (IBR).

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to assess how implant cohesivity, a measure of elasticity and form stability, affects the incidence of rippling in prepectoral IBR.

Methods
We performed a retrospective cohort study of 2-stage prepectoral IBR performed between January 2020 and June 2022 at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, comparing outcomes in patients who received Allergan Natrelle least cohesive, moderately cohesive, and most cohesive silicone gel implants. Outcomes of interest were rippling and reoperation for fat grafting.

Results
A total of 129 patients were identified, of whom 52 had the least cohesive implants, 24 had the moderately cohesive implants, and 53 patients had the most cohesive implants. The mean follow-up time was 463 (±220) days. A decreased incidence of rippling was seen with moderately cohesive (odds ratio [OR] 0.30, P &lt; .05) and most cohesive (OR 0.39, P &lt; .05) implants. Third stage reoperation for fat grafting was less frequent in patients with the most cohesive implant (OR 0.07, P &lt; .05). In subgroup analyses, the patients with the most cohesive implant, who did not receive fat grafting at the time of initial implant placement, did not require reoperation for fat grafting (0%).

Conclusions
The use of highly cohesive implants in prepectoral IBR is associated with decreased rippling and fewer reoperations for fat grafting.

Abstract
Indonesia’s vast maritime territory offers a unique opportunity for harnessing the potential Energy of seawater currents. This study explores the effectiveness of a combined Savonius and propeller-type turbine system. The Savonius turbine, known for its efficiency in capturing ocean currents due to its large sweep area, is combined with a propeller-type turbine to enhance rotational speed and power generation. A novel approach is employed to induce turbulence and optimize energy extraction, first channeling water through the propeller turbine and then into the Savonius turbine. A comprehensive investigation is conducted through simulations and experimental tests within a controlled tunnel environment. The study explores the performance of two-bladed and three-bladed Propeller-Savonius configurations at varying inlet water velocities (0.1, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 m/s). The simulation incorporates a turbulence model with 5% intensity and a hydraulic diameter of 0.216 m. Results indicate that the proposed configuration achieves a maximum power output of 2.0293 W with an impressive efficiency of 63.339% in simulation. Concurrently, experimental testing yields a peak efficiency of 61.335% and turbine power of 0.3951 W. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of the combined turbine system and highlight the importance of turbulence in optimizing energy extraction from seawater currents. This research contributes valuable insights into the design and performance of hybrid turbines for harnessing oceanic Energy, emphasizing the potential for sustainable power generation in maritime regions. The methodology and results presented herein offer a foundation for further exploration and refinement of seawater current energy conversion technologies.

Abstract

Aims
When out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) becomes refractory, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a potential option to restore circulation and improve the patient’s outcome. However, ECPR requires specific materials and highly skilled personnel, and it is unclear whether increased survival and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) justify these costs.

Methods and results
This cost-effectiveness study was part of the INCEPTION study, a multi-centre, pragmatic randomized trial comparing hospital-based ECPR to conventional CPR (CCPR) in patients with refractory OHCA in 10 cardiosurgical centres in the Netherlands. We analysed healthcare costs in the first year and measured HRQOL using the EQ-5D-5L at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), cost-effectiveness planes, and acceptability curves were calculated. Sensitivity analyses were performed for per-protocol and as-treated subgroups as well as imputed productivity loss in deceased patients. In total, 132 patients were enrolled: 62 in the CCPR and 70 in the ECPR group. The difference in mean costs after 1 year was €5109 (95% confidence interval −7264 to 15 764). Mean quality-adjusted life year (QALY) after 1 year was 0.15 in the ECPR group and 0.11 in the CCPR group, resulting in an ICER of €121 643 per additional QALY gained. The acceptability curve shows that at a willingness-to-pay threshold of €80.000, the probability of ECPR being cost-effective compared with CCPR is 36%. Sensitivity analysis showed increasing ICER in the per-protocol and as-treated groups and lower probabilities of acceptance.

Conclusion
Hospital-based ECPR in refractory OHCA has a low probability of being cost-effective in a trial-based economic evaluation.
Development of Two Eco-Friendly and High-Throughput Microwell Spectrophotometric Methods for Analysis of an Antibacterial Drug Tulathromycin in Pharmaceutical Bulk Form
Authors: Darwish Ibrahim A , Alzoman Nourah Z , Alsalhi Mohammed S 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
Tulathromycin (TUL) is a triamilide antibacterial drug which has been approved for use in the European Union and the United States for the treatment and prevention of bovine respiratory diseases. The existing methods for determination of TUL in its pharmaceutical bulk form are very limited and suffer from major drawbacks.

Objectives
The aim of this study was the development of two innovative microwell spectrophotometric methods (MW-SPMs) for determination of TUL in its pharmaceutical bulk form.

Methods
The formation of charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) of TUL, as an electron donor, was investigated with 2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dichlorocyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (HCD) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (CBQ), as π-electron acceptors. The CTCs were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and computational calculations. The reactions were employed for the development of two MW-SPMs with one step for the quantitative analysis of TUL.

Results
The formation of CTCs was confirmed via the formation of characteristic absorption bands with maximum absorption at 520 and 460 nm for CTCs with HCD and CBQ, respectively. The stoichiometry of both CTCs was found to be 1:1, and the values of different spectroscopic and electronic constants confirmed the stability of the CTCs. The mechanisms of the reactions were postulated. The linear range of both MW-SPMs was 10–500 µg/mL. The LOQs were 13.5 and 26.4 µg/mL for methods involving reactions with HCD and CBQ, respectively. Both methods were successfully applied to the quantitation of TUL in pharmaceutical bulk form with acceptable accuracy and precision. The results of eco-friendliness/greenness assessment proved that both MW-SPMs fulfill the requirements of green analytical approaches. In addition, the one-step reactions and simultaneous handling of a large number of samples with micro-volumes in the proposed methods gave them the advantage of high-throughput analysis.

Conclusion
This study described two new MW-SPMs as valuable analytical tools for the determination of TUL.

Highlight
The proposed methods are valuable analytical tool for the analysis of bulk form of TUL.
Effects of a Web–Mail Mode on Response Rates and Responses to a Care Experience Survey: Results of a Randomized Experiment

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Patient experience surveys are vital to evaluating healthcare provider performance. However, declining response rates over time and questions about whether responses reflect the perspectives of all patients under care have raised concerns. One proposed approach to address these concerns is web-based survey administration, a mode that has not been studied in the hospice setting. We tested a sequential web–mail mode for administering a care experience survey in this unique setting, where family caregivers respond after the patient dies. Sampled caregivers of 15,515 patients who died March–August 2021 while receiving care from 56 hospices across the US were randomized to one of four survey modes: mail-only, telephone-only, mail–telephone (mail with telephone follow-up), or web–mail (email invitation to a web survey with mail follow-up). Email addresses were available for 31.3 percent of sampled eligible caregivers.
Relative to mail-only (estimated response rate = 35.1 percent), response rates were significantly higher for web–mail (39.7 percent) and mail–telephone (45.3 percent) and significantly lower for telephone-only (31.5 percent). The web–mail response rate was similar to the mail-only response rate among caregivers without email addresses (35.2 versus 34.3 percent), but substantially higher among caregivers with email addresses (49.6 versus 36.7 percent). Web–mail and mail-only respondents reported similar experiences for 26 of 27 evaluative items. Among eligible sampled caregivers, several patient/caregiver characteristics differed by caregivers’ email address availability, but web–mail and mail-only respondents did not differ on any characteristic. A web–mail mode is feasible for surveying bereaved caregivers about care experiences, producing substantially higher response rates than single-mode approaches, with increasing benefits for hospices with higher proportions of caregivers with email addresses. Findings may be applicable to surveys of other sensitive topics and to populations that prefer asynchronous survey modes.

Abstract
Because of their beneficial properties, natural products, especially medicinal plants, are becoming increasingly popular worldwide and play a significant role in research. This study was aimed to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of sinapic acid against mercuric chloride-induced renal toxicity in mice. The mice were allocated to four groups named a normal group (G1), model group (G2; received HgCl2, 1 mg/kg bw), treatments groups (G3 and G4: received 50 and 100 mg/kg bw of sinapic acid together with HgCl2). Mice received HgCl2 remarkably showed alteration in all examined biochemical biomarkers (urea, creatinine, and bilirubin), and induced alteration in blood cell picture and anemia. HgCl2 intoxication decreased both systemic and renal antioxidant activity and induced over all oxidative stress as indicated by alteration in inflammation and oxidative stress associated markers. HgCl2 affected renal histology with leukocytic and inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis and tubular necrosis. Administration of sinapic acid (50 and 100 mg/kg bw) markedly restored the HgCl2−induced oxidative stress (serum and renal: MDA, GSH, CAT, SOD, and T-AOC), proinflammatory cytokines (serum and renal: TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and PGE2) and restored the changes on biochemical markers, and hematological parameters (hemoglobin, erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes). Taken together, the results of the present study disclose that sinapic acid has the potential to attenuate HgCl2-induced renal toxicity and may be an ideal choice against mercury poisoning.

Published: April 2024

Objective:
We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of highly detailed ventral hernia repair (VHR) operative reports and associations between operative report detail and postoperative outcomes in a medico-legal dataset.

Background:
VHR are one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. Previous work has shown that VHR operative reports are poorly detailed, however, the relationship between operative report detail and patient outcomes is unknown.

Methods:
This is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study. Operative reports describing VHR were obtained from a medical-legal database. Medical records were screened and data was extracted including clinical outcomes, such as surgical site infection (SSI), hernia recurrence, and reoperation and the presence of key details in each report. Highly detailed operative reports were defined as having 70% of recommended details. The primary outcome was the prevalence of highly detailed VHR operative reports.

Results:
A total of 1011 VHR operative reports dictated by 693 surgeons across 517 facilities in 50 states were included. Median duration of follow-up was 4.6 years after initial surgery. Only 35.7% of operative reports were highly detailed. More recent operative reports, cases with resident involvement, and contaminated procedures were more likely to be highly detailed (all P < 0.05). Compared to poorly detailed operative reports, cases with highly detailed reports had fewer SSIs (13.2% vs 7.5%, P = 0.006), hernia recurrence (65.8% vs 55.4%, P = 0.002), and reoperation (78.9% vs 62.6%, P = 0.001).

Conclusions:
In this medico-legal dataset, most VHR operative reports are poorly detailed while highly detailed operative reports were associated with lower rates of complications. Future studies should examine a nationally representative dataset to validate our findings.
An update on topical therapies for psoriasis
Authors: Pender Emily K. , Kirby Brian 
Published: April 2024

Purpose of review
Topical therapies are a mainstay of treatment for mild psoriasis and may be a useful adjunct in treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. This review summarizes recent advances in topical therapies for psoriasis and currently available treatments.

Recent findings
Topical aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulators (tapinarof) and topical phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors (roflumilast) have been proven effective in randomized controlled trials for psoriasis. Although topical JAK inhibitors have also been studied, none are currently licensed for treatment of psoriasis. Topical corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues remain the most commonly used and widely available topical treatments for psoriasis. Cost may limit use of novel topical agents.

Summary
Although the novel topical agents tapinarof and roflumilast are licensed for treatment of psoriasis by the FDA in the United States, they have not yet been licensed in Europe, and it remains to be seen whether they will be limited by cost.
