AbstractWe aimed to explore the effects of perioperative exercise on cardiorespiratory endurance in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) in plateau areas after surgical repair. Fifty children with CHD in the plateau admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into the exercise and control groups. The exercise group received a perioperative exercise intervention beginning within 24 h postoperatively, while the control group received routine nursing and treatment alone. To assess the 6 min walk distance (6MWD) at baseline and at end of intervention, children participated in a 6-min walk test before cardiac repair and at 1 week after general ward transfer. A subset of children in the study underwent the cardiopulmonary exercise test pre-operatively. The 6MWD of children with CHD at baseline was positively correlated with the peak oxygen uptake pre-operatively. No significant difference was reported in the preoperative baseline data of both groups. The 6MWD of the exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Early exercise therapy after cardiac repair could significantly improve the cardiorespiratory endurance and exercise capacity of children with CHD in plateau areas.

AbstractGlobally, war is the major cause of displacement from the usual place of the biological environment. The war of Tigray exposed thousands of people to internal displacement and migration. Evidence has shown that displaced people and migrants shoulder the health and economic burden to ensure survival. However, evidence of the impact of the war on health and the economy related to the displaced people and their hosting communities is not documented. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the health and economic impact of the war on displaced people and the hosting community. A community-based survey was conducted among randomly selected 3572 households of 48 woredas/districts from August 06 to 30/2021 in Tigray. Each district had 4 enumeration sites and there were 20 households (HHs) to be sampled per each enumeration site. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire using face-to-face interviews of displaced and hosting household heads. The entered data is exported to SPSS version 26 statistical packages for data analysis. Summary statistics and geo-spatial analysis was computed. The war had a significant impact on the health and economy of the community of Internally Displaced People (cIDPs) and hosting households. There were 12,691 cIDPs and 3572 hosting HHs. About 12.3% had chronic illness12.3% of (cIDP) who had chronic diseases and follow-up medication was forced to stop their medication. 536 (15%) civilian family members of cIDPs were killed at their homes. During the war, 244 (6.83%) of civilian family members faced physical disability. Consequentially, 43.8% and 58.8% of respondents of cIDPs suffered from severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The war had a significant amount of personal resources such as domestic animals, cereals, cars, machinery, and HH furniture was looted and vandalized by the perpetrator forces from the cIDPs and hosting HHs. The range of family size in the hosting households was 3 to 22. The war had a significant health and economic impact on both cIDPs and hosting HHs. cIDPs suffered from various illnesses and disabilities related to the war with no medical access and follow-up care leading them to stressful situations such as depression and PTSD. There was also a huge economic damage and distraction which threatens the survival of the survivors.

AbstractOne of the fundamental quantities in dynamics of the liquid state, the adiabatic speed of sound $$c_s$$

c

, is extremely difficult to predict from computer simulations, especially in ab initio simulations. Here we derive an expression for the instantaneous correlator of fluctuations of longitudinal component of stress tensor, which contains $$c_s$$

c

along with others quantities easy accessible via classical and ab initio computer simulations. We show that the proposed methodology works well in the case of Lennard-Jones and soft-sphere simple fluids, Kr–Ar liquid mixture in connection with simulations with effective pair interactions as well as for liquid Sb, fluid Hg and molten NaCl from ab initio simulations.
Study of flexural strength of concrete containing mineral admixtures based on machine learning
Authors: Li Yue , Liu Yunze , Lin Hui , Jin Caiyun 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this paper, the prediction of flexural strength was investigated using machine learning methods for concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials such as silica fume. First, based on a database of suitable characteristic parameters, the flexural strength prediction was carried out using linear (LR) model, random forest (RF) model, and extreme gradient boosting (XGB) model. Subsequently, the influence of each input parameter on the flexural strength was analyzed using the SHAP model based on the optimal prediction model. The results showed that LR, RF, and XGB enhanced the accuracy of forecasting sequentially. Among the characteristic parameters, the most significant effect on the flexural strength of concrete is the water-binder ratio, and the water-binder ratio shows a negative correlation with flexural strength. The effect of maintenance age on flexural strength is second only to the water-binder ratio, and it shows a positive trend. When the amount of fly ash is less than 40% and the amount of slag or silica fume is less than 30%, the correlation between the amount of supplementary cementitious materials and flexural strength fluctuates and a positive peak in flexural strength is observed. However, at a dosage greater than the above, the supplementary cementitious materials all reduce flexural strength. The interaction interval and the degree of interaction between the supplementary cementitious materials and the cement content also differ in predicting flexural strength.
Speech Elicitation Methods for Measuring Articulatory Control
Authors: Abbiati Claudia I. , Bauerly Kimberly R. , Velleman Shelley L. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
Spatiotemporal index (STI) is a common measure of articulatory variability used to examine speech-motor control. However, the methods used to elicit productions for measuring STI have varied across studies. The aim of this study was to determine whether STI values are affected by changes in elicitation methods.

Method:
Lip aperture STI (LA STI) was calculated for 19 monolingual English-speaking young adults based upon the production of four declarative sentences that varied by length and complexity. Using a 2 × 2 design, productions were elicited under the following two conditions: repetition type (consecutive vs. pseudorandom) and stimulus presentation type (auditory vs. combined auditory and visual). Conditions for eliciting productions were counterbalanced among participants.

Results:

There was a main effect of repetition type (
p
< .001) and sentence type (
p
< .030). Pseudorandom repetitions resulted in higher mean LA STI values across sentence types compared to those computed from consecutive repetitions. There were no significant differences for stimulus presentation type. That is, no differences in mean LA STI were found between the auditory versus combined auditory and visual presentations.

Conclusions:
Our findings show that the methods used to elicit sentence productions have a significant effect on LA STI values. Findings suggest that there is a need for researchers to consider these effects when designing methods for measuring LA STI.
The Role of Instructions in Motor Learning of Oral Versus Nasalized Speech Targets
Authors: Perta Karen , Bae Youkyung , Vuolo Janet , Bressmann Tim , Fox Robert 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how general, implicit instructions with auditory-perceptual emphasis; specific, explicit instructions with biomechanical focus; or both affect learning of oral–nasal balance control in speech.

Method:
Thirty healthy, vocally untrained participants were assigned to one of three instructional groups (i.e., implicit, explicit, and integrated) and learned to produce oral versus nasalized vowel-, syllable-, and phrase-level targets during once-weekly sessions over 4 weeks. Learning gains and performance variability were analyzed using nasometry.

Results:

We observed a significant main effect of instruction type on learning gains at phrase level (
p
= .016). Specifically, the integrated group (
M
= 59.8%) significantly outperformed the explicit group (
M
= 37.9%) and numerically outperformed the implicit group (
M
= 45.1%). For nasalized phrase targets, results revealed a significant main effect of instruction type on performance variability (
p
= .042), but pairwise comparisons between instruction groups were not significant.

Conclusions:
The integration of implicit processes via auditory-perceptual modeling and explicit processes via relevant biomechanical directives resulted in larger motor learning gains, especially at higher levels of task complexity (i.e., phrase) compared to providing implicit or explicit instruction alone. The higher performance variability (i.e., less stable productions) that was sometimes induced by explicit instruction did not negatively impact learning when integrated with implicit instruction. Clinical implications for speech/voice therapy models are discussed.

Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungBei einigen psychiatrischen Patienten besteht ein erhöhtes Risiko
für interpersonelle Gewaltanwendung, was zu Unterbringungen im
Maßregelvollzug führen kann. Ein Großteil der dort
behandelten Patienten kam bereits Jahre bevor sie aufgrund eines Deliktes
forensisch-psychiatrisch untergebracht wurden, mit dem allgemeinpsychiatrischen
Versorgungssystem in Kontakt. Nicht zuletzt aus diesem Grund ist es bedauerlich,
dass Maßnahmen zu Gewaltprävention in der Allgemeinpsychiatrie
bisher nur vereinzelt etabliert sind. Im Kanton Zürich
ermöglicht ein forensisch-psychiatrischer Konsiliardienst dem
allgemeinpsychiatrischen Versorgungssystem Zugang zu forensisch-psychiatrischer
Expertise. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Leistungsangebot beschrieben und
die im Rahmen des Konsiliardienstes untersuchte Patientenpopulation
charakterisiert. Zudem wurden die drei häufigsten Diagnosegruppen
(Erkrankungen aus dem schizophrenen Formenkreis, affektive Störungen,
Persönlichkeitsstörungen) nach Konsilanlass und ihrer
Vorgeschichte bezüglich Gewalttaten und Substanzmissbrauch miteinander
verglichen und die ausgesprochenen Empfehlungen analysiert. Von 2013 bis 2021
wurden 188 Patienten Zürcher allgemeinpsychiatrischer Kliniken nach
Erteilung ihres Einverständnisses untersucht. Diese Patienten wiesen
zumeist eine Vorgeschichte an Gewalttaten (72.7%) und Substanzkonsum
(66.1%) auf. Fast die Hälfte (48.4%) litt an einer
Erkrankung aus dem schizophrenen Formenkreis.

Published: October 2023

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate which of four established norms should be used for sonographic assessment of fetal femur length (FL).
Study Design Cross-sectional study using pooled data from four maternal–fetal medicine practices. Inclusion criteria were singleton fetus, gestational age (GA) 220/7 to 396/7 weeks, biometry measured, and fetal cardiac activity present. Four norms of FL were studied: Hadlock et al, the INTERGROWTH-21st Project (IG-21st), the World Health Organization Fetal Growth Curves (WHO), and the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development Fetal Growth Studies, unified standard (NICHD-U). The fit of our FL measurements to each norm was assessed by these criteria: mean z-score close to 0, standard deviation (SD) of z close to 1, Kolmogorov–Smirnov D-statistic close to zero, Youden J-statistic close to 1, approximately 5% of exams <5th percentile, and approximately 5% of exams >95th percentile.
Results In 26,177 ultrasound exams, our FL measurements had the best fit to the WHO standard (mean z-score 0.15, SD of z 1.02, D-statistic <0.01, J-statistic 0.95, 3.4% of exams <5th percentile, 7.0% of exams >95th percentile). The mean of the IG-21st standard was smaller than the other norms and smaller than our measurements, resulting in underdiagnosis of short FL. The mean of the Hadlock reference was larger than the other norms and larger than our measurements, resulting in overdiagnosis of short FL. The SD of the NICHD-U standard was larger than the other norms and larger than our observations, resulting in underdiagnosis of both short and long FL. Restricting the analysis to a subgroup of 7,144 low-risk patients without risk factors for large- or small-for- GA produced similar results.
Conclusion Of the norms studied, the WHO standard is likely best for diagnosis of abnormal FL.

Abstract
Introduction Age and lymph node ratio have been attributed as independent predictors for survival and recurrence in carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP).
Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze the prognostic value of p16 overexpression for CUP in the absence of true primary (TP).
Methods The study involved 43 patients who underwent therapeutic lymph node dissection (LND) from 2000 to 2015 after all the diagnostic work up for CUP. Immunohistochemistry for p16 overexpression was performed. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic impact on 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).
Results The male-to-female ratio was 5.1:1, with a median age of 62 years. The clinicopathological data, except for p16 overexpression, did not differ significantly in terms of 5-year OS and RFS. The Cox regression analysis proposed p16 positivity to be an independent prognosticator of regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 6.180, p = 0.21). The median time to recurrence and death were 10 and 25 months, respectively.
Conclusion Cervical metastasis with p16 overexpression is a significant prognostic factor of improved RFS after surgery in CUP. The prognostic significance of lymph node p16 positivity should be further studied.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction This consensus aimed to develop a structured document presenting the role of sleep-focused Speech-Language-Hearing (SPH) Sciences (SPHS). The recommendations were based on the expertise of specialists and on evidence in the literature, aiming to guide the coverage of this area and the consequent improvement in the quality of the professionals' approach.
Methods A Delphi method was conducted with 49 SLH pathologists (SLHP), four sleep physicians, one dentist, one physical therapist, and one methodologist. Four Delphi panel rounds were conducted in Google Forms. The items were analyzed based on the panelists' percentage of agreement; consensuses were reached when ⅔ (66.6%) of valid responses were on a same on a same answer (either “agree” or “disagree”).
Results Participants voted on 102 items. The mean consensus rate was 89.9% ± 10.9%. The essential topics were the importance of professional training, the SLH diagnosis, and the SLH treatment of sleep disorders. It was verified that all fields of the SLHS are related to the area of sleep; that sleep-focused SLH pathologists (SLHP) are the responsible for assessing, indicating, and conducting specific orofacial myofunctional therapy for sleep-disordered breathing alone or in combination with other treatments; that SLHP are included in interdisciplinary teams in the area of sleep in public and private services.
Discussion The Brazilian consensus on sleep-focused SLHS is a landmark in this area. This consensus described the scope of action of sleep-focused SLHP and systematized recommendations being useful as a reference for the professional practice in the area of sleep.
The role of individual perceptions in the completion of formalistic tasks
Authors: Wu Wenjun , Yu Dengke 
Published: October 2023

AbstractFormalistic tasks are common in collective cultural societies such as China. They bring a great loss of efficiency as well as some potential social benefits. The study aims to explore the perception mechanism of formalistic tasks at the individual level, helping understand and better manage them. Drawing on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we proposed that individuals’ perceived value (PV), perceived cost (PC), and perceived pressure (PP) would significantly influence their participation in and completion of formalistic tasks. We therefore developed two studies: Study 1 explored how individuals perceive formalistic tasks, and Study 2 tested the effects of individual perceptions on the completion degree (CD) of formalistic tasks. We collected the data from 319 and 536 Chinese respondents by questionnaire survey for the two studies respectively. Statistical approach and structural equation model (SEM) were used to analyze the data. Through empirical studies, we substantiated the positive role of PV and PC in the completion of formalistic tasks. Furthermore, coercive pressure (CP) and normative pressure (NP), the two elements of PP, would significantly moderate the effect of PC on CD. However, the moderating effects are weak. Our study aroused scholars’ attention to formalistic tasks in organizations and filled the gap in formalistic management. Our findings therefore make a contribution to organization management in collective culture and guide managers to better develop and promote formalistic tasks.
Controllable synthesis and PL propertiesof ZnO flower-like nanostructures by chemical bath method
Authors: Luo Qingshan , Xu Yurui , Zhong YaXue , Lian Hao 
Published: October 2023

Zinc oxide (ZnO) flower-like nanosheets and nanorods were synthesized on a glass substrate with an Al layer by a simple chemical bath method, and their morphology was controlled by adjusting the pH of the solution without the assistance of an additional surfactant. For the 3D nanostructures of the annealed nanosheets, the blue light emission at about 410 nm disappeared, which may be due to the defect of zinc vacancy. The emission of the yellow band at about 550 nm was enhanced, which could have originated from the interstitial oxygen. These results indicate that the concentrations or types of the dominant defects could be changed because of the diffusion of Al substrates during the course of annealing. The as-prepared flower-like nanostructures of nanorods exhibited a high UV emission peak (at about 380 nm). After the samples were annealed, the green emission (at about 500 nm) was also enhanced abnormally, except for the UV emission (at 380 nm), indicating that the crystalline quality could not be improved by annealing for complex nanostructures, except for the top of the structures. Our results present a simple, reproducible, and cost-competitive method to synthesize ZnO three-dimensional flower-like structures and would provide useful information for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices at room temperature.
Longitudinal change in linguistic resources for interaction
Authors: Skogmyr Marian Klara 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article presents a longitudinal study of a second language (L2) French speaker’s (Aurelia) use of the constructiontu vois(‘you see’) over 15 months. Research on first language (L1) French has shown thattu voishas been subject to grammaticalization, whereby the construction in spoken language frequently serves as a discourse marker rather than a complement-taking predicate construction expressing visual perception. Drawing on longitudinal Conversation Analysis, I qualitatively and quantitatively analyze Aurelia’s use oftu voisin relation to its turn position and interactional purposes. I document a similar change happening in Aurelia’s use of the construction over time as what has been observed in L1 French: While she initially deploystu voisexclusively in its ‘literal’ sense of visual perception and with a complement (tu vois X, ‘you see X’), she eventually starts using it as a semantically bleached discourse marker for interaction-organizational and interpersonal purposes. A few ‘hybrid’ cases demonstrate the progressive nature of this change, and indicate further similarities between L2 acquisition and L1 grammaticalization processes. I discuss possible reasons for the documented change and address implications of the findings for research on both the development of L2 grammar-for-interaction and language change more generally.
