Published: January 2023

Aim of this study
This study seeks to investigate, whether extubation of tracheally intubated patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) postoperatively either immediately at the day of admission (day 1) or delayed at the first postoperative day (day 2) is associated with differences in outcomes.

Materials and methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of data from an Austrian ICU registry. Adult patients admitted between January 1st, 2012 and December 31st, 2019 following elective and emergency surgery, who were intubated at the day 1 and were extubated at day 1 or day 2, were included. We performed logistic regression analyses for in-hospital mortality and over-sedation or agitation following extubation.

Results
52 982 patients constituted the main study population. 1 231 (3.3%) patients extubated at day 1 and 958 (5.9%) at day 2 died in hospital, 464 (1.3%) patients extubated at day 1 and 613 (3.8%) at day 2 demonstrated agitation or over-sedation after extubation during ICU stay; OR (95% CI) for in-hospital mortality were OR 1.17 (1.01–1.35, p = 0.031) and OR 2.15 (1.75–2.65, p<0.001) for agitation or over-sedation.

Conclusions
We conclude that immediate extubation as soon as deemed feasible by clinicians is associated with favourable outcomes and may thus be considered preferable in tracheally intubated patients admitted to ICU postoperatively.

Authors: Oliveira Leandro , Sousa Francisco , Da Silveira Maria Graça 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Eating behaviors acquired in childhood tend to be perpetuated in adulthood, so adherence to a healthy diet from an early age becomes important to prevent the onset of the occurrence of diet-related chronic non-communicable diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the food consumption of students in the third cycle of basic education and their parents and its relationship with weight status.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study. Data from 358 students and 318 parents living on Terceira Island (Azores, Portugal) were included in the study. A questionnaire was developed to collect sociodemographic, dietary habits and anthropometric data, this was applied between May and June 2015. A food frequency questionnaire was used, and weight and height were used to calculate the body mass index. A descriptive analysis of the variables under study was performed and the Mann–Whitney’s test was used to compare the means between groups.
Results: A high prevalence of pre-obesity/obesity (students: 33.0%; parents: 62.4%) was found. Vegetables are consumed most often by parents while fruits, fast food and sweets are consumed more frequently by students. Normal weight students reported a higher frequency of soy, olive oil, sunflower oil, and sweets compared with overweight students, on the other hand overweight parents reported a higher frequency of consumption of milk, pork, fatty fish, potatoes, vegetables, citrus fruits, and sunflower oil, compared with normal weight parents.
Conclusions: Given the high prevalence of pre-obesity/obesity found, as well as the high frequency of consumption of unhealthy foods, it is recommended that health promotion measures be taken in these schools.
Pentosan Polysulfate–Associated Dysplasia in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Case Series
Authors: Anderson Jenna , Frost Spencer , Keyashian Kian , Modiano Nir 
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
This study evaluates the potential association of pentosan polysulfate (PPS) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or dysplasia.

METHODS:
We searched electronic medical records to identify patients with IBD using PPS.

RESULTS:
Ten of 30 identified patients (33.3%) had colonic dysplasia. Six of them (60%) underwent colectomy for endoscopically unresectable dysplasia. Three (10%) discontinued PPS, each with an apparent benefit.

DISCUSSION:
Patients with IBD at 2 institutions who had taken PPS had high rates of colonic dysplasia leading to surgery. Patients who stopped PPS showed improvement in their colitis. PPS may play a causal role in the development of colitis and dysplasia.
TOD
Authors: Zhao Yue , Chen George H. , Jia Zhihao 
Published: January 2023

Outlier detection (OD) is a key machine learning task for finding rare and deviant data samples, with many time-critical applications such as fraud detection and intrusion detection. In this work, we propose TOD, the first tensor-based system for efficient and scalable outlier detection on distributed multi-GPU machines. A key idea behind TOD is decomposing complex OD applications into a small collection of basic tensor algebra operators. This decomposition enables TOD to accelerate OD computations by leveraging recent advances in deep learning infrastructure in both hardware and software. Moreover, to deploy memory-intensive OD applications on modern GPUs with limited on-device memory, we introduce two key techniques. First,provable quantizationspeeds up OD computations and reduces its memory footprint by automatically performing specific floating-point operations in lower precision while provably guaranteeing no accuracy loss. Second, to exploit the aggregated compute resources and memory capacity of multiple GPUs, we introduceautomatic batching, which decomposes OD computations into small batches for both sequential execution on a single GPU and parallel execution across multiple GPUs.TOD supports a diverse set of OD algorithms. Evaluation on 11 real-world and 3 synthetic OD datasets shows that TOD is on average 10.9X faster than the leading CPU-based OD system PyOD (with a maximum speedup of 38.9X), and can handle much larger datasets than existing GPU-based OD systems. In addition, TOD allows easy integration of new OD operators, enabling fast prototyping of emerging and yet-to-discovered OD algorithms.

Vom Audience Development zum Community Building – Öffentliche Bibliotheken im Spannungsfeld zwischen Tradition und Co-Kreation
Authors: Bartlakowski Katja 
Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Spätestens die zweite pandemiebedingte Lockdownphase 2020/2021 mit ihren je nach Bundesland monatelangen Schließzeiten hat uns gezeigt, dass Öffentliche Bibliotheken – gemeint sind städtische oder kommunale Bibliotheken – dem Freizeit- und Unterhaltungssektor zugeordnet werden und zumindest zeitweise für verzichtbar gelten. Einmal mehr ist uns in dieser Zeit deutlich geworden, dass Öffentliche Bibliotheken eine freiwillige kommunale Leistung sind. Ohne diese Erkenntnis zu sehr gewichten zu wollen, kann man sie zum Anlass nehmen, über die Bedeutung kommunaler Bibliotheken in unserer Gesellschaft und ihren wahrgenommenen Nutzen nachzudenken. Wie ist hier der Stand? Und welche zeitgemäßen Ansätze und Wege gibt es, Vernetzung, Sichtbarkeit und Reichweite der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken in der Stadtgesellschaft zu erhöhen? Es kann sich lohnen, die derzeitigen Strategien zur Gewinnung von Kundinnen und Kunden weiter zu entwickeln und sich für Ansätze zur aktiven Gemeinschaftsförderung zu öffnen.
Feeding ecology of Massoutiera mzabi (Rodentia, Ctenodactylidae) in two national parks of Central Sahara
Authors: Lasgaa Fatine , Bounaceur Farid , Boutheldja Halima , Aulagnier Stéphane 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The present range of Massoutiera mzabi is restricted to deserts and semi-deserts of the northern and Central Sahara, and discontinuously to Aïr Massif and Adrar of Ifoghas. Vegetation seems to be the second main driver of occurrence of this herbivorous rodent, so we investigated its diet selection by comparing the contents of faeces collected from two stations of the national parks of Ahaggar (Chaabet Tidekatine) and Tassili n’Ajjers (Oued Izarwaz) to the availability of plants nearby. The diet included a total of 25 plant species, 14 from Chaabet Tidekatine and 20 from Oued Izarwaz. In Chaabet Tidekatine, Zygophyllaceae (mainly Fagonia glutinosa and Fagonia bruguieri) over Asteraceae (Pulicaria incisa) and Poaceae (Stipagrostis). In Oued Izarwaz, the most consumed plant species were Asteraceae (Pulicaria crispa and P. incisa), Poaceae (Stipagrostis pungens) and Capparidaceae (Cleome amblyocarpa). Overall, M. mzabi diet appeared to be influenced more by the diversity than by the availability of vegetation. Seasonal variations in diet indicate that this rodent eats perennial and ambivalent vegetation throughout the year and opportunistically consumes annual plants mainly in the spring, with the exception of P. incisa and P. crispa which were eaten throughout the year.

Nonlinear bridge deflection monitoring and prediction system based on network communication
Authors: Lei Yanli , Li Zhiqiang 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In order to study the bridge deflection monitoring and prediction system based on network communication, first, the development status of the bridge deflection monitoring system, overall demand of the system, hardware composition of the system, realization of the system software, and the timely processing and analysis of monitoring data are discussed. Then, the dynamic prediction of the change trend of the external load and the decay information of the structural resistance contained in the deflection monitoring data is carried out, and the prediction function of the external effect of the structure is established at the same time. Finally, a rapid monitoring system specially designed to deal with accidental bridge disasters was developed, and it was installed and applied in the engineering experiment of Chongqing Gaojia Garden Bridge. The deflection data analysis of Gaojia Huayuan Bridge was carried out, and suggestions for the operation and maintenance of the bridge were put forward, and the safety status assessment of the bridge was realized. The results show that the system has strong practicability, real-time monitoring and accuracy. It provides a convenient and accurate way for bridge managers to supervise bridges and formulate specific bridge maintenance plans in a timely manner. During the radio frequency modulation of communication data, harmonic oscillations occur due to the nonlinear characteristics of oscillating data, so it is difficult to improve the wireless ability to modulate and demodulate transmitted data in communications. The traditional method uses neural network fuzzy control distribution estimation harmonic balance algorithm and nonlinear rolling. The performance of dynamic predictive control is poor in quality, harmonic balance, and stability control. An improved harmonic-based communication network is proposed to balance the stability control model of nonlinear communication system, construct nonlinear communication system model, and extract signal and channel characteristics of the communication system. The channel model is designed and the communication network control method is adopted to improve the control algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used to improve the stability of nonlinear communication system, reduce the bit error rate, overcome the interference of coherent component in sidelobe, and autocorrelated the impulse response of receiver. The stability of the cumulative output is good, which can overcome the communication error caused by the harmonic oscillation due to the nonlinear characteristics of the oscillating data, and improve the communication quality.
Surgical management and outcome of a laryngeal myxosarcoma in a dog
Authors: Lacqua Andrew J. , Williams Jessica M. , Ranck Rose S. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractA 9-month-old female spayed French Bulldog presented for respiratory stridor and exercise intolerance. Laryngeal examination showed an abnormally thickened left arytenoid cartilage. Fine needle aspirate of the mass was consistent with a well-differentiated spindle cell proliferation. The mass was marginally excised via a left-sided arytenoid approach and per os. Histopathology confirmed a well-differentiated myxosarcoma. Following surgery, the dog developed severe dyspnea and marked respiratory stridor consistent with airway obstruction secondary to laryngeal edema and inflammation. A permanent tracheostomy was performed. Three months post-operatively the dog was completely recovered, but early tumor regrowth was observed. This is the first report of laryngeal myxosarcoma in a dog. Permanent tracheostomy should be considered early in the surgical management of laryngeal neoplasia when more invasive surgical procedures are not elected to achieve a good outcome.
Velut alienae legis: una nota sui rapporti tra papa Vigilio e Totila nel 550
Authors: Cristini Marco 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In 550, pope Vigilius sent a letter (Epistolae Arelatenses 45) to bishop Aurelianus in order to convince king Childebert to intercede with Totila and ask him not to harm the Roman church. The expression quippe velut alienae legis, which is included in this document, has often been connected with the Arianism of Totila, but a closer examination of the epistle shows that it refers to the Church of Rome instead, which the Ostrogothic king should not treat as if it were an heretic community. Vigilius chose these words in order to voice his concern that the properties of the Roman Church would be seized by the king, and not to stress Totila’s Arianism.
Waiting for the End: Two Case Studies on the Relationship Between Time and Gender in Early Christianity
Authors: Dell’Isola Maria 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The present article attempts to discuss the relationship between time and gender in the Acta Pauli et Theclae and the Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis. By analyzing both the temporal perception in the narrative and the construction of time through a series of narratological devices, I will focus on how specific notions of time that emerged in the early centuries of the Christian era proved to be a key factor in shaping women’s agency. Building on this evidence, I aim to identify a set of key features that may define the relationship between eschatology and the role of women in early Christianity. The figures of Thecla, Perpetua and Felicitas will be analyzed as highly representative case studies of gendered temporality.
A New Witness to the Catena of
Codex Zacynthius
Authors: Manafis Panagiotis 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The so-called Codex Zacynthius (Cambridge, University Library, MS Add. 10062) is believed to be the earliest surviving Byzantine manuscript bearing commentaries on the New Testament; it preserves a series of commentaries on the Gospel of Luke consisting of quotations from writers of the early Christian period. The present article demonstrates that Codex Zacynthius must no longer be deemed the only witness to this collection of exegetical passages: the same collection for Luke 1:1–2:35 is found on four pages at the beginning and end of a 12th-century manuscript (Codex Vaticanus Palatinus graecus 273). This manuscript not only helps us to read parts of Codex Zacynthius that are now illegible, but it also provides us with the text of seven pages of the collection that are missing from Codex Zacynthius. These include commentaries by seven of the ten authors cited in this collection, including Greek passages from Severus of Antioch. The article includes the editio princeps of these previously unknown parts of the collection.
Osservazioni sull’espressione χύσις τῆς κακίας e sulle sue varianti in Origene
Authors: Piscini Gianluca 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper I study the expression χύσις τῆς κακίας, frequently used by Origen of Alexandria. The identification of its variants in Origen gives some criteria to identify its occurrences in pre-origenian literature. Three possible sources are examined: the pagan literature, the Scripture and Philo of Alexandria; the latter is most likely the model for Origen. Before studying the use of χύσις τῆς κακίας and its variants in Origen, I discuss the frequency of these expressions in his works. Curiously enough, Origen uses them far more often in the Against Celsus than in his other works. The most likely explanation is that the topics discussed in the apology led him to have recourse to these expressions. A survey of the multiple meanings of χύσις τῆς κακίας and its variants in all his works but the Against Celsus, then in the latter, confirms this hypothesis. Finally, I stress the originality of Origen. Although he probably found χύσις τῆς κακίας and its variants in Philo, Origen uses them in a different way: to demonstrate the necessity and the significance of Christ’s actions. An addendum presents some possible traces of χύσις τῆς κακίας and its variants in the Latin translations of Origen’s works.
