Published: February 2023

Background: To better comprehend the demand for online medication abortion and to inform service delivery practice, we conducted an analysis of Women Help Women (WHW) service delivery statistics. The primary goals were to understand their user profile, evaluate self-reported outcomes and use of other medical services, and assess the overall experience both with the abortion itself and with the counseling and care provided by WHW. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated user characteristics, abortion outcomes, and acceptability of both the medication abortion and WHW’s services, using consultation data and corresponding evaluation data from a one-year period. For users who did not complete the evaluation form, WHW staff reviewed email correspondences to identify key outcomes. Results: From August 2016-July 2017, 3,307 individuals received abortion pills from WHW. Users were geographically located in thirty countries and correspondence was conducted in seven languages. Most reported their gestational age to be less than eight weeks. Of the 2,295 who took the pills and provided outcome information, almost all (99.1%, n=2275) reported that they were no longer pregnant. The majority (84.1%, n=1576/1875) used symptoms to confirm outcome; one fourth (22.8%, n=428) sought an ultrasound and one sixth (18.0%, n=338) used urine and/or serum testing. One in eight users (12.6%, n=292/2317) reported seeking additional medical care after taking the abortion pills. Most (87.5%, n=1551/1773) reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the abortion. Conclusions: Our study confirms that self-managed abortion is a process that people can do safely and effectively with community support and without medical supervision. In the context of a global backlash against abortion rights, self-managed abortion is an integral part of a spectrum of options for abortion care that must be made available to all.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and purpose: Ogilvie's syndrome is an acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon characterized by massive dilatation of the large intestine without mechanical obstruction. The aim of this publication is to review publications and case reports concerning this disease and therapeutic management.
A brief description of the state of knowledge: Ogilvie's syndrome was first described in 1948. The assumed pathogenesis of the disease is increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system and/or decreased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. Most often it concerns hospitalized patients, in a serious general condition, after major injuries, operations, and pregnant or postpartum women. The importance of viral infections in the pathogenesis, including COVID-19 in recent years, is also indicated. It is important to eliminate possible organic causes of obstruction and to assess the diameter of the dilated bowel. Therapeutic options include conservative treatment, pharmacological treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, endoscopic bowel decompression and surgical treatment. Lack of medical intervention can lead to ischemia and intestinal perforation.
Conclusion: Ogilvie's syndrome is a rare condition in which complications can be minimized with proper assessment, care and treatment. The progress of pharmacological and endoscopic therapy allows to reduce the need for surgical intervention, and thus - the patient's unnecessary burden.
Modeling Internet Search Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber
Authors: Via Brian K. , Kennedy David , Peresin Maria S. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The Internet is a powerful tool that can be leveraged to explore user search behavior. Google Trends is a compelling database that tracks the frequency with which all users search any given word. There is thus an opportunity to see if the search histories obtained from Google Trends can be merged with data analytics to tease out underlying relationships with similar searches for cross-laminated timber (CLT). In this study, multiple linear regression was used to predict the search strength of the term cross laminated timber from 60 possible variables that may be directly or indirectly associated with CLT. This study was able to model the search term CLT (R2 = 0.76) using a reduced model of 20 variables. However, while prediction strength was strong, our primary interest was to statistically classify and rank important variables that might be important to CLT. To achieve this, the Mallow's Cp statistic was used to build the most robust model possible. To confirm with the literature, we also compared our study with another Web-based study and found a significant linear relationship between the t statistic in our study and the frequency of the same or similar search term in their study (R2 = 0.76). This agreement between studies helps to support our hypothesis that multiple linear regression coupled with Google Trends is a new tool that may assist marketers to identify emerging trends important to CLT.
CTIS-GAN: computed tomography imaging spectrometry based on a generative adversarial network
Authors: Wu Luoxiang , Cai Weiwei 
Published: February 2023

Computed tomography imaging spectrometry (CTIS) is a snapshot hyperspectral imaging technique that can obtain a three-dimensional (2D spatial + 1D spectral) data cube of the scene captured within a single exposure. The CTIS inversion problem is typically highly ill-posed and is usually solved by time-consuming iterative algorithms. This work aims to take the full advantage of the recent advances in deep-learning algorithms to dramatically reduce the computational cost. For this purpose, a generative adversarial network is developed and integrated with self-attention, which cleverly exploits the clearly utilizable features of zero-order diffraction of CTIS. The proposed network is able to reconstruct a CTIS data cube (containing 31 spectral bands) in milliseconds with a higher quality than traditional methods and the state-of-the-art (SOTA). Simulation studies based on real image data sets confirmed the robustness and efficiency of the method. In numerical experiments with 1000 samples, the average reconstruction time for a single data cube was ∼16ms. The robustness of the method against noise is also confirmed by numerical experiments with different levels of Gaussian noise. The CTIS generative adversarial network framework can be easily extended to solve CTIS problems with larger spatial and spectral dimensions, or migrated to other compressed spectral imaging modalities.
Inverse design of a photonic moiré lattice waveguide towards improved slow light performances
Authors: Nasidi Ibrahim , Hao Ran , Jin SangZhong , Li Erping 
Published: February 2023

Slow light waveguides in photonic crystals are engineered using a conventional method or a deep learning (DL) method, which is data-intensive and suffers from data inconsistency, and both methods result in overlong computation time with low efficiency. In this paper, we overcome these problems by inversely optimizing the dispersion band of a photonic moiré lattice waveguide using automatic differentiation (AD). The AD framework allows the creation of a definite target band to which a selected band is optimized, and a mean square error (MSE) as an objective function between the selected and the target bands is used to efficiently compute gradients using the autograd backend of the AD library. Using a limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno minimizer algorithm, the optimization converges to the target band, with the lowest MSE value of 9.844×10−7, and a waveguide that produces the exact target band is obtained. The optimized structure supports a slow light mode with a group index of 35.3, a bandwidth of 110 nm, and a normalized-delay-bandwidth-product of 0.805, which is a 140.9% and 178.9% significant improvement if compared to conventional and DL optimization methods, respectively. The waveguide could be utilized in slow light devices for buffering.
Discrimination of thermal, molecular orientation, and pure electronic refractive nonlinearities using the polarization-resolved Z-scan technique
Authors: Moysés R. M. , Barbano E. C. , Misoguti L. 
Published: February 2023

We have investigated how the polarization-resolved Z-scan technique is able to distinguish and discriminate three types of nonlinear effects—thermal, orientational, and ultrafast electronic nonlinearities—when acting simultaneously. Here employing a high-repetition-rate ultrafast laser, we excite these three nonlinearities in pure and contaminated CS2 solvent. Using 200 fs laser pulses, we could detect and measure the contribution of pure electronic, orientational, and, more importantly, identify the growth of cumulative thermal effect as the laser repetition rate increases. Also, we have verified that the source of the thermal effect is mainly due to two-photon (one-photon) absorption for pure (contaminated) CS2.

Background
Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness. To reduce transmission, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) improvements are promoted through a comprehensive public health strategy. Evidence supporting the role of WaSH in trachoma elimination is mixed and it remains unknown what WaSH coverages are needed to effectively reduce transmission.

Methods/Findings
We used g-computation to estimate the impact on the prevalence of trachomatous inflammation—follicular among children aged 1–9 years (TF1-9) when hypothetical WaSH interventions raised the minimum coverages from 5% to 100% for “nearby” face-washing water (<30 minutes roundtrip collection time) and adult latrine use in an evaluation unit (EU). For each scenario, we estimated the generalized prevalence difference as the TF1-9 prevalence under the intervention scenarios minus the observed prevalence. Data from 574 cross-sectional surveys conducted in 16 African and Eastern Mediterranean countries were included. Surveys were conducted from 2015–2019 with support from the Global Trachoma Mapping Project and Tropical Data.
When modeling interventions among EUs that had not yet met the TF1-9 elimination target, increasing nearby face-washing water and latrine use coverages above 30% was generally associated with consistent decreases in TF1-9. For nearby face-washing water, we estimated a ≥25% decrease in TF1-9 at 65% coverage, with a plateau upon reaching 85% coverage. For latrine use, the estimated decrease in TF1-9 accelerated from 80% coverage upward, with a ≥25% decrease in TF1-9 by 85% coverage. Among EUs that had previously met the elimination target, results were inconclusive.

Conclusions
Our results support Sustainable Development Goal 6 and provide insight into potential WaSH-related coverage targets for trachoma elimination. Targets can be tested in future trials to improve evidence-based WaSH guidance for trachoma.

Published: February 2023

Background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health issue worldwide and is an important contributor to the overall non-communicable disease burden. Chronic kidney disease is usually asymptomatic, and insidiously and silently progresses to advanced stages in resource limited settings.

Methodology
A prospective longitudinal study was carried out on black patients with CKD attending the kidney outpatient clinic at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH) in South Africa, between September 2019 to March 2022. Demographic and clinical data were extracted from the ongoing continuous clinic records, as well as measurements of vital signs and interviews at baseline and at follow up. Patients provided urine and blood samples for laboratory investigations as standard of care at study entry (0) and at 24 months, and were followed up prospectively for two (2) years. Data were descriptively and inferentially entered into REDcap and analysed using STATA version 17, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of CKD progression.

Results
A total of 312 patients were enrolled into the study, 297 (95.2%) patients completed the study, 10 (3.2%) patients were lost to follow and 5 (1.6%) patients died during the study period. The prevalence of CKD progression was 49.5%, while that of CKD remission was 33% and CKD regression was 17.5%. For patients with CKD progression the median age at baseline was 58 (46–67) years, the median eGFR was 37 (32–51) mL/min/1.73 m2, median urine protein creatinine ratio (uPCR) was 0.038 (0.016–0.82) g/mmol and the median haemoglobin (Hb) was 13.1 (11.7–14.4) g/dl; 95.2% had hypertension, 40.1% patients had diabetes mellitus and 39.5% had both hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Almost half (48.3%) of patients with CKD progression had severely increased proteinuria and 45.6% had anaemia. Variables associated with higher odds for CKD progression after multivariable logistic regression analysis were severely increased proteinuria (OR 32.3, 95% CI 2.8–368.6, P = 0.005), moderately increased proteinuria (OR 23.3, 95% CI 2.6–230.1, P = 0.007), hypocalcaemia (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.0–14.8, P = 0.047), hyponatraemia (OR 4.5, 95% CI 0.8–23.6, P = 0.042), anaemia (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.0–4.3, P = 0.048), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.9–3.6, P = 0.047), elevated HbA1c (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2–2.8, P = 0.007) and current smoking (OR 2.8, 95% CI 0.9–8.6, P = 0.049).

Conclusion
Our study identified a higher prevalence of CKD progression in a prospective longitudinal study of black patients with CKD compared with literature reports. CKD Progression was associated with proteinuria, diabetes mellitus, elevated HbA1c, anaemia, hypocalcaemia, hyponatraemia and current smoking in a cohort of black patients with CKD who had controlled hypertension and diabetes mellitus at baseline.
Hippo signaling and histone methylation control cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry through distinct transcriptional pathways
Authors: Zhang Zhenhe , Freeman Miles , Zhang Yiqiang , El-Nachef Danny , Davenport George , Williams Allison , MacLellan W. Robb 
Published: February 2023

Aims
Accumulating data demonstrates that new adult cardiomyocytes (CMs) are generated throughout life from pre-existing CMs, although the absolute magnitude of CM self-renewal is very low. Modifying epigenetic histone modifications or activating the Hippo-Yap pathway have been shown to promote adult CM cycling and proliferation. Whether these interventions work through common pathways or act independently is unknown. For the first time we have determined whether lysine demethylase 4D (KDM4D)-mediated CM-specific H3K9 demethylation and Hippo pathways inhibition have additive or redundant roles in promoting CM cell cycle re-entry.

Methods and results
We found that activating Yap1 in cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) through overexpressing Hippo pathway inhibitor, miR-199, preferentially increased S-phase CMs, while H3K9me3 demethylase KDM4D preferentially increased G2/M markers in CMs. Together KDM4D and miR-199 further increased total cell number of NRVMs in culture. Inhibition of Hippo signaling via knock-down of Salvador Family WW Domain Containing Protein 1 (Sav1) also led to S-phase reactivation and additional cell cycle re-entry was seen when combined with KDM4D overexpression. Inducible activating KDM4D (iKDM4D) in adult transgenic mice together with shRNA mediated knock-down of Sav1 (iKDM4D+Sav1-sh) resulted in a significant increase in cycling CMs compared to either intervention alone. KDM4D preferentially induced expression of genes regulating late (G2/M) phases of the cell cycle, while miR-199 and si-Sav1 preferentially up-regulated genes involved in G1/S phase. KDM4D upregulated E2F1 and FoxM1 expression, whereas miR-199 and si-Sav1 induced Myc. Using transgenic mice over-expressing KDM4D together with Myc, we demonstrated that KDM4D/Myc significantly increased CM cell cycling but did not affect cardiac function.

Conclusions
KDM4D effects on CM cell cycle activity are additive with the Hippo-Yap1 pathway and appear to preferentially regulate different cell cycle regulators. This may have important implications for strategies that target cardiac regeneration in treating heart disease

O konieczności trwania i rozwoju polskiej pedagogiki społecznej
Authors: Weissbrot-Koziarska Anna 
Published: February 2023

Współczesna rzeczywistość to czasy wielkich przemian, których z jednej strony jesteśmy obserwatorami, z drugiej - uczestnikami. Dokonujące się na naszych oczach zmiany prowokują do poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak przekształcać systemy społeczne, aby każdy człowiek zachował pełnię swoich praw bez naruszania praw innych. Jedną z dyscyplin, która podejmuje refleksję naukową i praktyczną nad interpretacją zjawisk społecznych jest pedagogika, w tym pedagogika społeczna. Pedagodzy społeczni dokonując analizy miejsca człowieka we współczesnym świecie, procesów wychowawczych i ich uwarunkowań stale poszukują możliwości stworzenia takiego systemu społecznego, w którym będą przestrzegane prawa człowieka. Aktualnie pedagodzy społeczni stanęli w obliczu konieczności pielęgnowania dotychczasowych osiągnięć z jednoczesną aktualizacją pól badawczych w kierunku lepszego aplikowania ich wyników do działalności praktycznej.
Ostatnie lata są czasem wpływów makrośrodowiskowych i procesów w nich zachodzących, spośród których najwyraźniej ujawniły się tendencje migracyjne, wywołane nie tylko chęcią poprawy warunków ekonomicznych, lecz koniecznością ratowania życia na skutek wojennej agresji. Świat nieustannie walczy z przemocą, nietolerancją, degradacją środowiska naturalnego i z jej konsekwencjami, z pandemią i jej skutkami. Opisywanie tych problemów jest obowiązkiem pedagogów społecznych, w których kręgu zainteresowania jest człowiek. Losy jednostki są dzisiaj bardziej niż kiedykolwiek ściśle związane z losami społeczeństw na całym świecie. Dlatego też zadaniem pedagogiki społecznej jest analizowanie rzeczywistości i wskazywanie na konieczność zmian, które wzbogacą życie człowieka czyniąc go bardziej kreatywnym.
What makes a complement false? Looking at the effects of verbal semantics and perspective in Mandarin children’s interpretation of complement-clause constructions and their false-belief understanding
Authors: Brandt Silke , Li Honglan , Chan Angel 
Published: February 2023

AbstractResearch focusing on Anglo-European languages indicates that children’s acquisition of the subordinate structure of complement-clause constructions and the semantics of mental verbs facilitates their understanding of false belief, and that the two linguistic factors interact. Complement-clause constructions support false-belief development, but only when used with realis mental verbs like ‘think’ in the matrix clause (de Villiers, Jill. 2007. The interface of language and Theory of Mind.Lingua117(11). 1858–1878). In Chinese, however, only the semantics of mental verbs seems to play a facilitative role in false-belief development (Cheung, Him, Hsuan-Chih Chen & William Yeung. 2009. Relations between mental verb and false belief understanding in Cantonese-speaking children.Journal of Experimental Child Psychology104(2). 141–155). We argue that these cross-linguistic differences can be explained by variations in availability and usage patterns of mental verbs and complement-clause constructions across languages. Unlike English, Mandarin-Chinese has a verb that indicates that a belief might be false:yi3wei2‘(falsely) think’. Our corpus analysis suggests that, unlike English caregivers, Mandarin-Chinese caregivers do not produce frequent, potentially unanalyzed, chunks with mental verbs and first-person subjects, such as ‘I think’. In an experiment, we found that the comprehension of complement-clause constructions used withyi3wei2‘(falsely) think’, but not withjue2de2‘think’, predicted Mandarin children’s false-belief understanding between the ages of 4 and 5. In contrast to English, whether mental verbs were used with first- or third-person subjects did not affect their correlation with false-belief understanding.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
With the great discovery of unconventional oil in the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu sag, the Wuxia fault belt, which shows similar lithological characteristics and lithofacies, is considered the most favorable area for future petroleum exploration. However, the complicated structural patterns remain unclear and restrict the petroleum exploration and development. In this study, combined with new seismic data and some borehole data, we conclude the structural styles in the Wuxia fault belt and analyze their distribution characteristics, and further investigate their implications for tectonic evolution and hydrocarbon accumulation. Five typical seismic sections are captured from the west to the east of the fault belt. Decollement folds and fold accommodation faults superimpose on the underlying basement fault related folds. Structure patterns also show a zonation in S–N direction and a segmentation in E–W direction. The balanced section reveals that the present-day structure features were fundamentally formed by Late Permian. The structural deformation shows distinctive features of a foreland basin which may develop in Early Permian and continue until the Late Permian. The oil reservoirs in the Fengcheng Formation in deeper detachment fold and the autochthonous Fengcheng Formation in fault propagation folds are the most favorable regions for further unconventional petroleum exploration.
