Optical clock networks have distinct advantages for the dissemination of time/frequency, geodesy, and fundamental research. To realize such a network, the telecom band and optical atomic clocks have to be coherently bridged. Since the telecom band and optical atomic clocks reside in a distinct spectral region, second-harmonic generation is usually introduced to bridge the large frequency gap. In this paper, we introduce a new method to coherently link a 1550 nm continuous wave laser with a Ti:sapphire mode-locked laser-based optical frequency comb. By coupling the 1550 nm continuous wave laser light and the Ti:sapphire comb light together into a photonic crystal fiber, nonlinear interaction takes place, and new comblike frequency components related to the 1550 nm laser frequency are generated in the visible region. Consequently, we can detect beat notes between two combs in the visible region with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 40 dB in a resolution bandwidth of 300 kHz. With this signal, we realize an optical frequency divider for converting the frequency of optical clocks in the visible region to the telecom band at 1.55 μm. An out-of-loop measurement shows that the additional noise and uncertainty induced in optical frequency conversion are 5×10−18 at 1 s averaging time and 2.2×10−19, respectively, which are limited by the uncompensated light path fluctuation but fulfill precision measurement using state-of-the-art optical clocks.

Objective
Determine characteristics associated with hospitalization in the acute phase of Chikungunya.

Methods
Cross-sectional study including data on Chikungunya cases reported in Vitória, Espírito Santo state, Brazil, between March 2016 and December 2021.

Results
Hospitalizations accounted for 1.42% (n = 41) of the 2,868 cases included. There were statistically significant differences between hospitalized and non-hospitalized regarding age (P 0.001), which was lower among hospitalized patients, and pregnancy, which was more frequent in the hospitalized group (P 0.010). Patients younger than two years old and older than 65 years corresponded to 31.7% of hospitalizations. Back pain (OR = 0.134; 95% CI = 0.044–0.409) and arthralgia (OR = 0.226; 95% CI = 0.083–0.613) were protective factors for hospitalization.

Conclusion
Groups at risk of severe Chikungunya, including those under two and over 65 years of age, may require more hospitalization, even with milder manifestations.

INTRODUCTION:
Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) and cold snare polypectomy (CSP) are novel endoscopic procedures for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADET). However, consensus on how to use both procedures appropriately has not been established. In this study, we evaluated treatment outcomes of both procedures, including resectability.

METHODS:
In this single-center randomized controlled study conducted between January 2020 and June 2022, patients with SNADET ≤12 mm were randomly allocated to UEMR and CSP groups. The primary end point was sufficient vertical R0 resection (SVR0), which was defined as R0 resection including a sufficient submucosal layer. We compared treatment outcomes including SVR0 rate between groups.

RESULTS:
The SVR0 rate was significantly higher in the UEMR group than in the CSP group (65.6% vs 41.5%, P = 0.01). By contrast, the R0 resection rate was not significantly different between study groups (70.3% vs 61.5%, P = 0.29). The submucosal layer thickness was significantly greater in the UEMR group than in the CSP group (median 546 [range, 309–833] μm vs 69 [0–295] μm, P < 0.01). CSP had a shorter total procedure time (median 12 [range, 8–16] min vs 1 [1–3] min, P < 0.01) and fewer total bleeding events (9.4% vs 1.5%, P = 0.06).

DISCUSSION:
UEMR has superior vertical resectability compared with CSP, but CSP has a shorter procedure time and fewer bleeding events. Although CSP is preferable for most small SNADET, UEMR should be selected for lesions that cannot be definitively diagnosed as mucosal low-grade neoplasias.

INTRODUCTION:
Intravenous corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment of patients hospitalized with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). However, 30%–40% of the patients are refractory to corticosteroids. We investigated whether addition of tofacitinib to corticosteroids improved the treatment responsiveness in patients with ASUC.

METHODS:
This single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomized adult patients with ASUC (defined by the Truelove Witts severity criteria) to receive either tofacitinib (10 mg thrice daily) or a matching placebo for 7 days while continuing intravenous corticosteroids (hydrocortisone 100 mg every 6 hours). The primary end point was response to treatment (decline in the Lichtiger index by >3 points and an absolute score <10 for 2 consecutive days without the need for rescue therapy) by day 7. The key secondary outcome was the cumulative probability of requiring initiation of infliximab or undergoing colectomy within 90 days following randomization. All analyses were performed in the intention-to-treat population.

RESULTS:
A total of 104 patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group (53 to tofacitinib and 51 to placebo). At day 7, response to treatment was achieved in 44/53 (83.01%) patients receiving tofacitinib vs 30/51 (58.82%) patients receiving placebo (odds ratio 3.42, 95% confidence interval 1.37–8.48, P = 0.007). The need for rescue therapy by day 7 was lower in the tofacitinib arm (odds ratio 0.27, 95% confidence interval 0.09–0.78, P = 0.01). The cumulative probability of need for rescue therapy at day 90 was 0.13 in patients who received tofacitinib vs 0.38 in patients receiving placebo (log-rank P = 0.003). Most of the treatment-related adverse effects were mild. One patient, receiving tofacitinib, developed dural venous sinus thrombosis.

DISCUSSION:
In patients with ASUC, combination of tofacitinib and corticosteroids improved treatment responsiveness and decreased the need for rescue therapy.
Regionale Einkommensdisparitäten in Portugal
Authors: Gerlach Knut , Kehlbeck Heike , Schasse Ulrich 
Published: December 2023

Nach der Süderweiterung der EG und der Intensivierung der Regionalpolitik auf europäischer Ebene verdienen die regionalen Einkommensunterschiede in den neuen Mitgliedsländern eine verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit. Während regionale Einkommensdisparitäten in Spanien seit längerem durch die Publikationen der Banco de Bilbao1 statistisch aufbereitet und analysiert werden, sind die entsprechenden Forschungslücken für Portugal besonders deutlich. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist deshalb, regionale Einkommensunterschiede in Portugal zu analysieren. Ausgehend von einer mikroökonomischen Theorie der Einkommenserklärung werden mit Hilfe eines entsprechenden Individualdatensatzes für Portugal und geeigneter Abgrenzungen regionaler Arbeitsmärkte empirische Schätzungen regional getrennter, einfacher Einkommensfunktionen durchgeführt. Forschungsleitend ist dabei die Hypothese, daß der Einkommensbestimmungsprozeß in Portugal – wie auch in vielen anderen europäischen Staaten – regional ungleich verläuft.Im ersten Abschnitt wird die theoretische Fragestellung entwickelt. Der zweite Abschnitt enthält neben einer kurzen Beschreibung der Daten die wesentlichen empirischen Ergebnisse. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer kurzen Zusammenfassung und Bewertung.
Regionalplanung in Bayern
Authors: Müller Bernhard 
Published: December 2023

Die Koordination in der Regionalplanung wird in Bayern u. a. aufgrund der institutioneilen Rahmenbedingungen, der Breite des Aufgabenfeldes der Regionalen Planungsverbände und des faktischen Einflusses der Kommunen bei der Erarbeitung der Regionalpläne und der Beurteilung von konkreten Einzelvorhaben (in Raumordnungsverfahren) nicht nur vom technisch-planerischen Ausgleich der unterschiedlichen Raumansprüche, sondern – mehr als in den meisten anderen Bundesländern – auch von politischen Kompromissen bestimmt. Die Erfahrungen der letzten vierzehn Jahre seit der Konstituierung der Regionalen Planungsverbände in Bayern belegen, daß die Regionalplanung im politischen Raum relativ selten als Instrument zur Lösung von regionalen Problemen wahrgenommen wurde und daß sie nur wenig Steuerungskraft entfalten konnte. Andererseits hat sich auch gezeigt, daß sie in vielen Fällen an Bedeutung als Forum politischer Auseinandersetzung gewonnen hat. Genau hier – so die Argumentation des vorliegenden Beitrags – könnte eine Chance für die Regionalplanung in der Zukunft liegen. Denn die bayerische Regionalplanung war überall dort relativ erfolgreich, wo Planer den Restriktionen des Planungsmodells folgten und weniger auf die Direktivwirkung des Regionalplans als auf den Dialog mit den Adressaten der Planung und innovative Anstöße für Problemlösungen setzten. Allerdings – so die abschließende Beurteilung – dürfen die Aussichten, eine prozeßorientierte, informatisch-persuasive Planung überall in Bayern zu etablieren, gegenwärtig in einer Zeit weitverbreiteter Planungsmüdigkeit und immer noch sinkender Konjunktur der Regionalplanung nicht überbewertet werden.

By using Faedo–Galerkin method, we prove the existence of global weak solutions. By the help of the perturbed energy method, the exponential stability of solutions is also established.
Application of multigene genetic programming and water evaporation optimization technique for modeling and optimization of removal of heavy metals from ash pond water using cyanobacterial consortium
Authors: Sarkar Biswajit , Lahiri Sandip Kumar , Dutta Susmita 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Heavy metals such as Lead(II), Nickel(II), Manganese(II), Cadmium(II), Chromium(VI), etc., are leached from the coal ash of thermal power plants. These metals contaminate ash pond water and subsequently contaminate groundwater. Phycoremediation using microalgae/cyanobacteria is an emerging technology for removal of heavy metals. The present study aims at phycoremediation of the said heavy metals from ash pond water using cyanobacterial consortium of Limnococcus limneticus and Leptolyngbya subtilis followed by the development of an accurate data-driven Multigene Genetic Programing (MGGP) approach for modeling and optimization of the process. The developed model was used to obtain a correlation between the average removal of metals and biomass production with all input factors such as the initial metal concentrations, pH, and days of incubation. To maximize metal removal and biomass production, the Water Evaporation Optimization (WEO) technique was applied to determine optimal values of input parameters. The application of WEO for the optimization of the phycoremediation process is the first of its kind and here lies the novelty of the study.
Theoretical implications of the prefixation of Polish change of state verbs
Authors: Malicka-Kleparska Anna 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe text is devoted to a rarely described and analysed problem of a gap in the distribution of aspectual prefixes in Polish. Lexical prefixes do not appear as parts of word-internal morphology of synthetic change of state (COS) verbs suffixed with verbalizing morphemes -e-/-ej-, -ną-, and -owa-. The analysis presented below treats such COS verbs as homonymous pairs of lexical items. The telic homonym is equipped with the result phrase (RP) headed by the zero morpheme, whose appearance blocks the insertion of any other telicizing morpheme in the form of a lexical prefix. The zero morpheme is selected by the verbalizers peculiar to COS verbs of synthetic type. The atelic homonym does not have the RP in its structure and, in consequence, does not include a structural position for telicizing heads in the form of lexical prefixes to be ever inserted. The model strongly supports the distinction between the concepts of telicity and perfectivity in Polish, and by extrapolation – in other Slavic languages.
Multilingualism in the Romanian translation of C. N. Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus: Sociolinguistic considerations
Authors: Arhire Mona 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article investigates the translation of multilingual fiction from English into Romanian by setting it under the lens of the novel Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The novel comprises three language varieties spoken by the Nigerian Igbo ethnic group. Bearing distinct sociocultural features, the interlingual transfer of the three language varieties (Nigerian English, Nigerian Pidgin English, and Igbo) impacts the preservation of the information relative to cultural items and to the social configuration of the local community. The sociolinguistic configuration of the text under analysis is first presented and exemplified as they integrate into the sociocultural context and are subsequently discussed by analysing relevant examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the translations. This descriptive approach to the translation envisages the detection of strategies adopted with a view to observing and preserving the author’s intentions, namely those of exhibiting Nigerian traditions and the contemporary sociolinguistic picture. The findings indicate that the translation of three language varieties posed different kinds of problems and required different translation strategies. The conclusions comprise some possible solutions for the translation of multilingual fictional discourse and its sociolinguistic features.
The effects of recalling and imagining prompts on writing engagement, syntactic and lexical complexity, accuracy, and fluency: A partial replication of Cho (2019)
Authors: Mujtaba Syed Muhammad , Reynolds Barry Lee , Gao Yang , Parkash Rakesh , Ha Xuan Van 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This replication study examined the effects of writing prompt type on second language (L2) learners’ writing performance. Fifty undergraduate academic and professional writing course pupils wrote narrative essays about a past event (recalling group/high formulation demand condition) or a future event (imagining group/high conceptualization demand condition). Writers completed a freewriting draft and were then given unlimited opportunities to revise. The writing was subjected to syntactic complexity, fluency, accuracy, and lexical complexity analyses. Writer engagement was computed as the time spent revising drafts. The previous study’s results were confirmed in that the recalling group exhibited more complexity and less accuracy in their writing than the imagining group. The recalling group also exhibited a higher level of writing fluency and possessed a higher level of engagement. Furthermore, the results of our study showed that the imagining group produced writing that was slightly more lexically complex than the recalling group. The pedagogical importance of writing prompts and their potential for affecting writing performance and writing engagement was discussed.

Abstract
Nanobiotechnology is a specific field of biotechnology that utilizes nanoscale methods and materials to investigate biological systems and create innovative medical technologies. This review discusses the diverse use of nanobiotechnology in health, focusing on both its superior properties and challenges. The main aims of this report are to present and elaborate on the global market share of this growing field as well as the scientific output, regarding publications and patents in the last decade. Quantitative data is derived from the Statnano database, which includes information related to the articles from the Web of Science (WoS) and approved patents from the European Patent Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The final aim of this review is to provide some suggestions based on these data. Government support is the most important driving force in building up research and publications. Support for advancement in nanotechnology to fabricate products for commercial and public benefit is the top priority of developed nations. Thus, entrepreneurial training of young researchers, and collaborations between scientists, policymakers, investors, and citizens, should be encouraged. To work together globally and set international standards for the creation of consistent methods in characterizing nanoscale products with biological systems is imperative.
Successful Discharge to Community From Home Health Less Likely for People in Late Stages of Dementia
Authors: Knox Sara , Downer Brian , Haas Allen , Ottenbacher Kenneth J. 
Published: December 2023

Background and Purpose:
Several studies have established the efficacy of home health in meeting the health care needs of people with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) and helping them to remain at home. However, transitioning to the community after discharge from home health presents challenges to patient safety and quality of life. The severity of an individual's functional impairments, cognitive limitations, and behavioral and psychological symptoms may compound these challenges. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between dementia severity and successful discharge to community (DTC) from home health.

Methods:
This was a retrospective study of 142 376 Medicare beneficiaries with ADRD. Successful DTC was defined as having no unplanned hospitalization or death within 30 days of DTC from home health. Successful DTC rates were calculated, and multilevel logistic regression was used to estimate the relative risk (RR) of successful DTC, by dementia severity category, adjusted for patient and clinical characteristics. Six dementia severity categories were identified using a crosswalk between items on the Outcome and Assessment Information Set and the Functional Assessment Staging Tool.

Results and Discussion:
Successful DTC occurred in 71.2% of beneficiaries. Beneficiaries in the 2 most severe dementia categories had significantly lower risk of successful DTC (category 6: RR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.889-0.910; category 7: RR = 0.737, 95% CI = 0.704-0.770) than those in the least severe dementia category. The RR of successful DTC for people with ADRD decreased as the level of independence with oral medication management decreased and when there was an overall greater need for caregiver assistance.

Conclusions:
Patient status at the time of admission to home health is associated with outcomes after discharge from home health. Early identification of people in advanced stages of ADRD provides an opportunity to implement strategies to facilitate successful DTC while people are still receiving home care services. The severity of ADRD and availability of caregiver assistance should be key considerations in planning for successful DTC for people with ADRD.
