Authors: Chen Fuhai , Zhang Jin , Xie Jing , Fu Xiao 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is associated with acute and chronic rhinosinusitis (ARS/CRS), although the causal relationship between them is not clear.
Methods
We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomized study to investigate the causal effects between GERD and rhinosinusitis (RS). The data for GERD and RS were obtained from large sample size genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with each exposure were considered instrumental variables in this study. We conducted a causal effect analysis using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW)，Weighted median，MR Egger，Simple mode and Weighted mode methods. The inverse-variance weighted and MR - Egger methods were used for the heterogeneity analysis. The MR - Egger model method was adopted for Pleiotropic effects.
Results
MR analysis showed that GERD had a statistically significant causal effect on ARS (IVW, OR = 1.324, 95% CI 1.177-1.490, p <0.001) and CRS (IVW, OR = 1.365, 95% CI 1.185-1.572, p <0.001).MR analysis showed that CRS had a statistically significant causal effect on GERD (IVW, OR = 1.033, 95% CI 1.009-1.056, p =0.006). However, the MR-Egger model revealed the evidence of horizontal pleiotropy for the causal effect of CRS on GERD (Egger-intercept=0.007, p=0.032). In addition，we did not observe a causal effect of ARS on GERD (IVW, OR = 1.019, 95% CI 0.986-1.053, p=0.269).
Conclusions
We confirmed the causal effect of GRED on RS, while no causal effect of RS on GERD was found. These studies are expected to provide high-quality causal evidence for the pathogenesis of RS and GERD, and additional ideas for their primary prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Backgroud:
The prevalence of multiple nosocomial infections (MNIs) is on the rise, however, there remains a limited comprehension regarding the associated risk factors, cumulative risk, probability of occurrence, and impact on length of stay (LOS).
Method
This multicenter study includes all hospitalized patients from 2020 to July 2023 in two sub-hospitals of a tertiary hospital in Guangming District, Shenzhen. The semi-Markov multi-state model (MSM) was utilized to analyze risk factors and cumulative risk of MNI, predict its occurrence probability, and calculate the extra LOS of nosocomial infection (NI).
Results
The risk factors for MNI include age, community infection at admission, surgery, and combined use of antibiotics. However, the cumulative risk of MNI is lower than that of single nosocomial infection (SNI). MNI is most likely to occur within 14 days after admission. Additionally, SNI prolongs LOS by an average of 7.48 days (95%CI: 6.06–8.68 days), while MNI prolongs LOS by an average of 15.94 days (95%CI: 14.03–18.17 days). Furthermore, the more sites of infection there are, the longer the extra LOS will be.
Conclusion
The longer LOS and increased treatment difficulty of MNI result in a heavier disease burden for patients, necessitating targeted prevention and control measures.
Spin Filtering Properties of Structures Based on Stanene and Bismuthene Nanoribbons with Magnetism
Authors: Akhoundi Elaheh , Houssa Michel , Afzalian Aryan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The transport properties of spin filters based on two-dimensional magnetic topological insulators (TI) are theoretically studied, exploiting the spin-polarized quantum-anomalous-Hall effect in these materials. The electron transport properties of these structures are explored through the non-equilibrium-Green’s-functon(NEGF) formalism. We first considered the spin-filtering properties of heterostructures based on non-magnetic TI/antiferromagnetic TI heterostructures, using a Kane-Mele tight-binding Hamiltonian model. Our results reveal that a gate bias of about 2 V is required to obtain an order of magnitude drop in the minority spin current of these heterostructures. In a search for magnetic TIs suitable for these applications, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of stanene and bismuthene nanoribbons with metal edge modification, using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The direction of the magnetic moment is found to be heavily influenced by the electric field, while the magnitude of the magnetic moment declines drastically. Additionally, the role of edge oxidization on the magnetic state of stanene nanoribbons is explored, and a noticeable impact is observed. We next study the spin filtering properties of stanene and bismuthene ribbons with magnetism only at one edge, using NEGF based on DFT Hamiltonians. The transport characteristics exhibit noticeable spin polarization, without requiring an applied electric field along the out-of-plane direction. We also show that one edge magnetization can be induced in stanene nanoribbons with asymmetric edge passivation; DFT simulations predict the formation of one-way helical edge states in these structures. The results presented herein provide insight into the transport properties of magnetic TIs and their possible applications in spin filters and qubits based on Majorana bound states.

Abstract
Background
Different zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoforms were identified as a probable set of similar nanoforms for a common hazard assessment. To justify this grouping, toxicological studies were performed: A 90-day inhalation study (OECD test guideline no. (TG) 413) combined with a reproduction/developmental (neuro)toxicity screening test (TG 421/424/426) was performed in rats with coated and uncoated ZnO nanoforms in comparison with microscale ZnO particles and soluble zinc sulfate. In addition, genotoxicity in the nasal cavity, lungs, liver, and bone marrow was examined via comet assay (TG 489) after 14-day inhalation exposure.
Results
ZnO nanoparticles caused local toxicity in the respiratory tract. Systemic effects that were not related to the local irritation were not observed. There was no indication of impaired fertility, developmental toxicity, or developmental neurotoxicity. No indication for genotoxicity of any of the test substances was observed. Local effects were similar across the different ZnO test substances and were reversible after the end of the exposure.
Conclusion
With exception of local toxicity, this study could not confirm the occasional findings in some of the previous studies regarding the above-mentioned toxicological endpoints. The two representative ZnO nanoforms and the microscale particles showed similar local effects. The ZnO nanoforms most likely exhibit their effects by zinc ions as no particles could be detected after the end of the exposure, and exposure to rapidly soluble zinc sulfate had similar effects. Obviously, material differences between the ZnO particles do not substantially alter their toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. The grouping of ZnO nanoforms into a set of similar nanoforms is justified by these observations.

Abstract

Global climate change and rapid urbanization have increased the frequency of flooding, making urban flood resilience a critical objective. This article introduces a methodology for assessing urban flood resilience, utilizing a social-ecological synthesis index that integrates geographical and temporal data with Geographic Information System (GIS). The study focuses on ten administrative subdistricts in Wuhua District, Kunming City, China, and selects 18 social-ecological indicators. These indicators, chosen from social and ecological perspectives, are weighted using the entropy weight method to determine their significance in the assessment system. By combining scores for each subdistrict, the study quantifies flood resilience and creates a spatial distribution map using ArcGIS. Key findings reveal that out of the ten administrative subdistricts, five in Wuhua District, particularly in the core urban area of Kunming, demonstrate strong overall flood resilience. Influenced by social-ecological indicators, there is significant spatial differentiation in flood resilience within Wuhua District, with a decreasing trend radiating from the city center to areas farther from the urban core. The research indicates that regions with well-established transportation infrastructure, a wide distribution of government institutions, improved water management facilities, and a substantial population with higher education levels contribute significantly to enhancing urban flood resilience.

<p class="Default"><em>This research aims to explore the experiences of the Sukasari community in using information technology. The study was conducted in the village of Sukasari, Air Periukan District, Seluma Regency, Bengkulu. The research method used in this study is action research or participatory action research (PAR). This method is considered appropriate because it can analyze and evaluate barriers and opportunities through multidisciplinary expertise to gather information and make decisions according to the needs of the community. The results show that the Sukasari community has a general understanding of social media utilization because all the actors in the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES) Sukasari have social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which they use for communication and interaction. However, the Sukasari village community also faces several challenges in the implementation of social media, such as internet accessibility, lack of understanding in creating engaging content, relationship issues, and the quality of human resources in managing social media as a means of promoting the village's potential. The Sukasari village community requires training focused on enhancing the community's skills in social media management, including content creation strategies, finding creative ideas, photo and video editing, caption creation, and even understanding the appropriate social media algorithms to create engaging and marketable social media content.</em></p><p class="Default"><em> </em></p><p class="Default"> </p>
Predicting Postoperative Hospital Stays Using Nursing Narratives and the Reverse Time Attention (RETAIN) Model: Retrospective Cohort Study

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
Nursing narratives are an intriguing feature in the prediction of short-term clinical outcomes. However, it is unclear which nursing narratives significantly impact the prediction of postoperative length of stay (LOS) in deep learning models.

Objective
Therefore, we applied the Reverse Time Attention (RETAIN) model to predict LOS, entering nursing narratives as the main input.

Methods
A total of 354 patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from 2014 to 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. Nursing narratives collected within 3 postoperative days were used to predict prolonged LOS (≥10 days). The physician’s assessment was conducted based on a retrospective review of the physician’s note within the same period of the data model used.

Results
The model performed better than the physician’s assessment (area under the receiver operating curve of 0.81 vs 0.58; P=.02). Nursing narratives entered on the first day were the most influential predictors in prolonged LOS. The likelihood of prolonged LOS increased if the physician had to check the patient often and if the patient received intravenous fluids or intravenous patient-controlled analgesia late.

Conclusions
The use of the RETAIN model on nursing narratives predicted postoperative LOS effectively for patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery. These findings suggest that accurate and interpretable deep learning information obtained shortly after surgery may accurately predict prolonged LOS.
Surveillance Reports of National Units of the Red Army Political Departments in 1918–1920
Authors: Kikkas Toivo 
Published: December 2023

While surveillance as a mechanism of political control was a common prac-tice of states even before the First World War, the introduction of the Political Departments to the Red Army in 1918–1920 was a completely new historical-military phenomenon. Surveillance reports submitted by the commissars of the political departments had to provide an overview of the attitudes of soldiers, progress in political education, and the condition of various military aspects, such as the supply of uniforms. Next to nothing is known about surveillance reports compiled by these institutions in national units of the Red Army. This paper summarizes the instructions for compiling surveillance reports, their implementation, and what was actually reported by the Political Departments of Estonian and Latvian national units of the Red Army.

Based on the observation of the first-in-class fourth of the Government Islamic Primary School 9 South Aceh students are weak in pronouncing words and sentences in the text and students find it difficult to pronounce letters in Arabic words and have difficulty distinguishing the correct pronunciation. This also makes them feel weak in mastering the meaning of vocabulary and unable to understand the text. When the teacher distributes to groups and asks students to pronounce the words in the text and asks students to take turns reading they find it difficult to read. In the teaching and learning process, students cannot answer the teacher's questions about the text. With these problems, researchers want to develop learning reading skills with the "Intiq Wa Mayyiz" method based on the CTL approach and the constructivism approach. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the student's response, the validation of experts, and the effectiveness of developing the teaching of reading skills in an " Intiq Wa Mayyiz " manner, on the basis of a contextual approach and a constructivist approach. In this study, researchers used research and development methods with the type of One Group Pre-test and Post-test Design. The researcher presented questionnaires, pre-tests, and post-tests as research tools. As for the results of the research, the development of teaching reading skills using the "Intiq Wa Mayyiz" method has a positive response among students, and the researchers found their response results to be very good because this method can improve students' abilities, tendencies and desires in reading skills. The validity assessed by experts in teaching reading skills using the "Intiq Wa Mayyiz" method obtained a result of good and pleasant traits. The development of teaching reading skills using the "Intiq Wa Mayyiz" method is effective for improving reading skills.
Carolina Maria de Jesus: três poemas versados
Authors: Arantes Bahia Luísa , Silva Leitão Daroda Larissa , Alves Magaldi Carolina 
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo apresenta a versão comentada de três poemas de Carolina Maria de Jesus para a língua inglesa. Após uma breve biografia da autora, é apresentada a coletânea Antologia pessoal (1996), um conjunto de poemas selecionados pela própria escritora, que nutria o sonho de se tornar poeta. Em seguida, apresentamos uma discussão sobre a tradução de poesia segundo Britto (2012) e Faleiros (2012). Além disso, são delineados o projeto e o processo tradutórios, com destaques para os pontos de dificuldade e de atenção durante a versão dos poemas. As versões são apresentadas em paralelo com o texto fonte, sendo a primeira, “Saudades de mãe” (Longing for mom); a segunda, “O exilado” (The exiled); e a terceira, “O lírio” (The lily). Os poemas apresentam intertextualidade com poetas românticos brasileiros e temáticas que variam do nacionalismo ao amor não correspondido. Carolina Maria de Jesus empregava um registro menos coloquial e mais pensado em sua poesia que nos conhecidos diários, além de se inspirar em uma forma mais conservadora de escrita poética. Seus poemas são dignos de conquistar um maior alcance para minimizar a injustiça histórica que foi feita à autora ao lhe serem negados os direitos de publicação e de se tornar, para o público, a poeta que já se mostrava ser em seus cadernos particulares.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: La vacuna ha demostrado ser la forma más efectiva para controlar la pandemia por COVID-19 previniendo complicaciones como sintomatología grave y mortalidad. En la decisión de vacunarse y la percepción de la vacuna han influido los medios de comunicación y factores psicológicos, socioculturales y biológicos. Objetivos: Identificar en población chilena la percepción de la vacuna contra la COVID-19, sus factores biopsicosociales y la influencia de variables sociodemográficas y relacionadas con la vacunación. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte transversal, cuyo nivel de profundización es descriptivo-inferencial. Tamaño muestral con un nivel de confianza del 95% y un error de estimación de 5%, en un muestreo aleatorio (probabilístico o sin intencionalidad) y estratificado. Se adaptó un cuestionario para obtener un índice de percepción de la vacuna y se aplicó a 695 chilenos. Se efectuaron análisis de asociación y regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados: Se observó que, aunque el 96.3% de los participantes se encuentran vacunados contra la COVID-19, la percepción general de la vacuna es regular, con predominio de la dimensión psicológica. Variables como el nivel socioeconómico, la decisión voluntaria de vacunarse contra la COVID-19, la muerte de alguien cercano por COVID-19 estando vacunado y el conflicto por la decisión de vacunarse, se encuentran significativamente relacionadas y tienen influencia en la percepción de la vacuna. Conclusiones: Para comprender la percepción de una vacuna, debe tomarse en cuenta la perspectiva biopsicosocial, la percepción del riesgo en relación con las conductas de salud, la influencia de los medios y otros factores implicados.
Arkeolojik verilere göre - Eski Türklerde (Uygurlara kadar) kullanılan müzik aletleri.
Authors: USAL Gökhan , YILMAZ Anıl 
Published: December 2023

Antik göçer toplumlar da günümüzdeki gibi sosyal gruplardan oluştuğu için sosyal aktiviteler çoğunlukla müzik ile süsleniyordu. Bu kimi zaman bir şamanın yaptığı ayin olurken kimi zaman da tamamen eğlence amaçlı olabiliyordu.
Makale, Avrasya bozkırlarını mesken edinmiş göçerlerin kullandıkları müzik aletlerini tanıtmaya yöneliktir. Demir ve Orta Çağlar boyunca yapılmış kurganlardan çıkan enstrümanları tanıtmayı amaçlayan makalenin kronolojik olarak üst sınırı, Uygur dönemidir.
Sözlü edebiyatın ağırlıklı olarak yer bulduğu göçerler arasında, müzik aletleri de taşınabilir olduğu ölçüde makbul oluyordu. Dolayısıyla aletlerin büyüklüğü yaşam şekline bağlı olarak değerlendirilmelidir.
Bu müzik aletleri incelendiğinde heyecan, coşku, neşe gibi pozitif tonlarda (majör) icra edildiğini söyleyebiliriz. Duyguları coşturan bu icra tarzı, dinleyicide bazen bir atın dörtnala koşuşunun bazen de bir savaş sahnesinin sesini dinliyormuş hissini uyandırır. Makale bu müzik aletlerinin fiziksel yapılarını, oktav aralıkları ve bir yere kadar da orijinleri üzerinde durmaktadır.
