ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of specimen extraction via an enlarged (U-Plus) skin bridge loop ileostomy.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 95 patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic low anterior rectal resection and skin bridge loop ileostomy between August 2018 and August 2022, including 44 patients with specimen extraction via an enlarged (U-Plus) skin bridge loop ileostomy (experimental group) and 51 patients with specimen extraction via an abdominal incision (control group). Following the application of propensity score matching (PSM), 34 pairs of data were successfully matched. Subsequently, a comparative analysis was conducted on the clinical data of the two groups.ResultsThe experimental group exhibited significantly better outcomes than the control group in various aspects. Specifically, the experimental group had lower values for average operative time (P &lt; 0.001), estimated blood loss (P &lt; 0.001), median length of visible incision after surgery (P &lt; 0.001), median VAS pain score on the first day after surgery (P = 0.015), and average postoperative hospitalization (P = 0.001). There was no statistical significance observed in the incidence of stoma-related complications in both groups (P &gt; 0.05). Within each group, the stoma-QOL scores before stoma closure surgery were significantly higher than those at one month and two months after the surgery, with statistical significance (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionSpecimen extraction via a U-Plus skin bridge loop ileostomy is a safe and feasible method that shortens operation time and postoperative visual incision length, decreases estimated blood loss, and reduces patient postoperative pain compared with specimen extraction via an abdominal incision.

Radioactive legacies and radon – recommendation of the German commission on radiological protection
Authors: Gellermann Rainer , Breckow Joachim 
Published: November 2023

In connection with the legal term of radioactively contaminated sites, the SSK recommended in 2022 that the reference value of 1 mSv effective dose in a calendar year specified in the Radiation Protection Act should be supplemented by a reference value for radon that is independent of this. The SSK suggested applying a reference value for Rn-222 (annual average concentration) of 300 Bq per m³ in buildings and 80 Bq per m³ in outdoor air.
The article describes the rationale for this recommendation and explains the contents of the SSK recommendation from the background of radiation protection conflicts arising from the current system of radiation protection. Because the protection against radon is detached from the dose as the uniform tool of judgment and forms a distinct approach, new problems arise. In particular, the common comparison of additional exposures with natural exposures via the uniform effective dose, frequently used in communication with the public, becomes questionable.
Effect of interface quality on spin Hall magnetoresistance in Pt/MgFe2O4 bilayers
Authors: Sugino Masafumi , Ueda Kohei , Kida Takanori , Hagiwara Masayuki , Matsuno Jobu 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We report on spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in bilayers composed of Pt and magnetic insulator MgFe2O4 (MFO) with spinel structure. The Pt thickness dependence of the SMR reveals that annealing of the MFO surface before depositing the Pt layer is crucial for a large SMR with better interface quality. We also found that oxygen pressure during the MFO growth hardly affects the SMR, while it influences the magnetic property of the MFO film. Our findings provide important clues to further understanding the spin transport at interfaces containing magnetic insulators, facilitating development of low power consumption devices.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
BiCh2-based layered compounds have been extensively studied as potential thermoelectric and unconventional superconducting materials. For both functionalities, in-plane chemical pressure effects improve their thermoelectric or superconducting properties. In this study, we investigate the effects of in-plane chemical pressure on atomic vibrations of Bi by analyzing lattice specific heat measured at T = 1.9–300 K with multiple Debye and Einstein models for thermoelectric LaOBi(S,Se)2 and superconducting LaO0.5F0.5Bi(S,Se)2. We reveal that in-plane chemical pressure enhances the oscillator number of the Einstein mode corresponding to large-amplitude Bi vibration along the c-axis in both the systems.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this letter is to study the design and explore vertically stacked complementary tunneling field-effect transistors (CTFETs) using CFET technology for emerging technology nodes. As a prior work, the CTFET’s device-level simulations are implemented and deliberated in strict compliance with the experimental settings. This work comprises the study of physical and DC analyses by scaling the p- to n-CTFET separation (D

pn
), being a significant factor in CFET/CTFET design for its process difficulty. By utilizing the 50% benefit in footprint, the work is further extended to CTFET static random access memory implementation and characterization with hold/read noise margin analysis.

Authors: Yang Jinfeng , Xu Yongze , Wang Xiaonan , Zhang Xu , He Yang , Sun Huarui 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The thermal transport properties of Ga2O3 in different phases remain inadequately explored. We employ first-principles calculations and the phonon Boltzmann equation to systematically study the lattice thermal conductivity of β-, α- and κ-Ga2O3. Our results reveal that κ-Ga2O3 exhibits pronounced phonon anharmonicity due to its complex polyhedral configurations and weak bonding, resulting in significantly lower lattice thermal conductivity compared to β- and α-Ga2O3. This work provides critical knowledge of the fundamental phonon thermal transport properties of different-phase Ga2O3, as well as helpful guidance for the thermal design of Ga2O3-based high-power devices.

Prejudice toward American Muslims: An Integrated Threat Analysis
Authors: Croucher Stephen M. , Homsey Dini , Brusch Erin , Buyce Christine , DeSilva Shirley , Thompson Aretha 
Published: November 2023

This study explores prejudice toward American Muslims. Prejudice is conceptualized using Stephan and Stephan’s integrated threat theory (ITT). ITT identifies four kinds of threat that can lead to prejudice: realistic threats, symbolic threats, stereotypes, and intergroup anxiety. Data were gathered in the United States (N = 281) among self-identified Christians. Findings confirm: 1) a positive correlation between real and symbolic threats, and stereotypes, 2) increased contact with an immigrant group, in this case Muslims, is negatively correlated with perceptions of real and symbolic threat, and 3) levels of prejudice differ based on level of education. Theoretical and practical implications of the relationship between prejudice, interpersonal contact/communication, and education are discussed.
Connecting the World to the Word Living Newspapers and Intercultural Communication Pedagogy
Authors: Howard Leigh Anne 
Published: November 2023

In this study, I examine a dialogical approach to intercultural communication instruction. First, I explain an intercultural communication instruction philosophy grounded in the work of critical pedagogues, the dialogical concepts of Jurgen Habermas and Martin Buber, and a performance studies praxis based on the Living Newspaper Theatre. Then, I illustrate my experience using this type of performance as a tool for critical pedagogy in the intercultural communication classroom. I conclude by sharing implications and suggestions for applying such pedagogical techniques in the intercultural communication classroom. I argue the use of performance creates a receptive, dialogical classroom environment which enables participants to examine course content, as well as the power dynamic necessary to understand intercultural communication.

Time series analysis-based seasonal autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average to estimate hepatitis B and C epidemics in China
Authors: Wang Yong-Bin , Qing Si-Yu , Liang Zi-Yue , Ma Chang , Bai Yi-Chun , Xu Chun-Jie 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Hepatitis B (HB) and hepatitis C (HC) place the largest burden in China, and a goal of eliminating them as a major public health threat by 2030 has been set. Making more informed and accurate forecasts of their spread is essential for developing effective strategies, heightening the requirement for early warning to deal with such a major public health threat.
AIM
To monitor HB and HC epidemics by the design of a paradigmatic seasonal autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (SARFIMA) for projections into 2030, and to compare the effectiveness with the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA).
METHODS
Monthly HB and HC incidence cases in China were obtained from January 2004 to June 2023. Descriptive analysis and the Hodrick-Prescott method were employed to identify trends and seasonality. Two periods (from January 2004 to June 2022 and from January 2004 to December 2015, respectively) were used as the training sets to develop both models, while the remaining periods served as the test sets to evaluate the forecasting accuracy.
RESULTS
There were incidents of 23400874 HB cases and 3590867 HC cases from January 2004 to June 2023. Overall, HB remained steady [average annual percentage change (AAPC) = 0.44, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -0.94-1.84] while HC was increasing (AAPC = 8.91, 95%CI: 6.98-10.88), and both had a peak in March and a trough in February. In the 12-step-ahead HB forecast, the mean absolute deviation (15211.94), root mean square error (18762.94), mean absolute percentage error (0.17), mean error rate (0.15), and root mean square percentage error (0.25) under the best SARFIMA (3, 0, 0) (0, 0.449, 2)12 were smaller than those under the best SARIMA (3, 0, 0) (0, 1, 2)12 (16867.71, 20775.12, 0.19, 0.17, and 0.27, respectively). Similar results were also observed for the 90-step-ahead HB, 12-step-ahead HC, and 90-step-ahead HC forecasts. The predicted HB incidents totaled 9865400 (95%CI: 7508093-12222709) cases and HC totaled 1659485 (95%CI: 856681-2462290) cases during 2023-2030.
CONCLUSION
Under current interventions, China faces enormous challenges to eliminate HB and HC epidemics by 2030, and effective strategies must be reinforced. The integration of SARFIMA into public health for the management of HB and HC epidemics can potentially result in more informed and efficient interventions, surpassing the capabilities of SARIMA.
Global burden of inflammatory bowel disease 1990-2019: A systematic examination of the disease burden and twenty-year forecast
Authors: Li Cheng-Jun , Wang Yi-Kai , Zhang Shun-Ming , Ren Mu-Dan , He Shui-Xiang 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic intestinal disease with various levels and trends in different countries and regions. Understanding the current burden and trends of IBD in various geographical locations is essential to establish effective strategies for prevention and treatment. We report the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in age-standardized rates (ASR) of IBD in different regions based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study from 1990-2019, and the relationships between IBD and the human development index (HDI) and socio-demographic index (SDI). The prevalence trends of IBD were predicted by gender from 2019-2039.
AIM
To comprehensively investigate IBD data, providing further insights into the management of this chronic disease.
METHODS
We collected the information on the incidence of IBD from the GBD study from 1990-2019 to calculate the AAPC and EAPC in ASR of IBD in different regions. The relationships between IBD, HDI, and SDI were analyzed. The Nordpred and Bayesian age-period-cohort models were used to predict the prevalence trends of IBD by gender from 2019-2039, and the reliability of the results was validated. Statistics of all the data in this study were performed using R software (version 4.2.1).
RESULTS
North America consistently had the highest IBD ASR, while Oceania consistently had the lowest. East Asia had the fastest average annual growth in ASR (2.54%), whereas Central Europe had the fastest decline (1.38%). Countries with a low age-standardized incidence rates in 1990 showed faster growth in IBD while there was no significant correlation in 2019. Additionally, IBD increased faster in countries with a low age-standardized death rates in 1990, whereas the opposite was true in 2019. Analysis of SDI and IBD ASR showed that countries with a high SDI generally had a higher IBD ASR. Finally, the projections showed a declining trend in the incidence of IBD from 2019-2039, but a gradual increase in the number of cases.
CONCLUSION
As the global population increases and ages, early monitoring and prevention of IBD is important to reduce the disease burden, especially in countries with a high incidence of IBD.
Compositional Constraints of Ice Lobes at the Edge of Martian South Polar Cap and the Possibility for CO2 Ice
Authors: Meng Xu , Xu Yi , Jin Qi , Xiao Long , Xu Xiaoting , Liu Hai 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As one of the major ice reservoirs on Mars, the south polar layered deposits (SPLD) are mainly composed of water ice and dust except for the perennial CO2 ice deposits on the surface and within buried layers. At the edge of Planum Australe, the Shallow Radar detected the base of two ice lobes, which can be used to estimate their dielectric properties and analyze the components. These measurements, combined with topographic data, allow for the relative permittivity of the lobe materials to be estimated at 2.73 ± 0.67. Under the constraint of the SPLD density, the permittivity value translates to the existence of CO2 ice depending on the dust content. If the dust content is larger than 24%, the lobes are CO2 free and composed of water ice, dust, and pore space. Whereas, for the dust content of <12%, our results suggest that the lobes must contain a certain amount of CO2 ice, which could be an average volume of 30%. When the dust content is between 12% and 24%, the existence of CO2 ice is undetermined. This study improves the understanding of ice deposits at the Martian south polar.
Characterization and Absolute Calibration of the Far-infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer for SOFIA
Authors: Fadda Dario , Colditz Sebastian , Fischer Christian , Vacca William D. , Chu Jason , Clarke Melanie , Klein Randolf , Krabbe Alfred , Minchin Robert , Poglitsch Albrecht 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We present the characterization and definitive flux calibration of the Far-infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) instrument on board SOFIA. The work is based on measurements made in the laboratory with an internal calibrator and on observations of planets, moons, and asteroids as absolute flux calibrators made during the entire lifetime of the instrument. We describe the techniques used to derive flat fields, water vapor column estimates, detector linearity, spectral and spatial resolutions, and absolute flux calibration. Two sets of responses are presented, before and after the entrance filter window was changed in 2018 to improve the sensitivity at 52 μm, a wavelength range previously not covered by PACS on Herschel. The relative spectral response of each detector and the illumination pattern of the arrays of the FIFI-LS arrays are derived using the internal calibrator before each observational series. The linearity of the array response is estimated by considering observations of bright sources. We find that the deviation from the linearity of the FIFI-LS arrays affects the flux estimations by less than 1%. The flux calibration accuracy is estimated to be 15% or better across the entire wavelength range of the instrument. The limited availability of sky calibrators during each observational series is the major limiting factor of the flux calibration accuracy.
