Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background There is a paucity of literature regarding the management of snakebite site complications. The wound complications can have debilitating sequelae, most of which may require reconstruction.
Methods This is a prospective single-institution observational study conducted from November 2019 to December 2021. Patient demographic characteristics and snakebite-related information, length of hospitalization, surgical lesions encountered, the type of treatment offered, and complications were recorded.
Results Fifteen patients (10 males and 5 females) with ages ranging from 10 to 53 years (mean: 36.5 years) were included in the study. Urgent fasciotomy was performed in three patients with compartment syndrome of the upper limb. Facial reconstruction was performed in one patient. One patient required distraction, cross-finger flap, and bone grafting of the index finger, while another patient required a pedicled groin flap for digital salvage. Below knee amputation was done for Marjolin's ulcer in a chronic snakebite case. Few patients required skin grafting. No major complications were encountered.
Conclusions Plastic surgeons play an important role in the management of bite site effects for restoration of form and function, which goes a long way in rehabilitating these patients back in the society. This case series presents a varied range of bite site complications and their management that would serve as a guide to plastic surgeons for better outcome.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of induction chemotherapy (IC) for patients with sinonasal malignancies with brain invasion or a neurological deficit.
Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent IC for sinonasal malignancies with intracranial invasion or a neurological deficit at a single tertiary cancer center from 1992 to 2020.
Results In total, 460 patients with sinonasal malignancies were included in the study. Of the patients reviewed, 341 underwent IC and within this group 40 had brain invasion (BI) and 31 had a neurological deficit (ND) at presentation. The most prevalent malignancy was sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (BI 40%, ND 41.9%), followed by esthesioneuroblastoma (BI 27.5%, ND 9.7%). All tumors were stage T4 with the majority lacking nodal metastases (BI N0: 72.5%, ND N0: 77.5%). All patients completed at least two cycles of IC. Partial or complete response to IC was seen in 80% of BI and 71% of ND patients. No patients had cessation of treatment due to neurologic decline and none required urgent surgery. Five patients (12.5%) with BI and 2 (6.5%) with ND had interruption of IC for reasons other than neurological decline. In patients with ND, IC led to improvement of 54.5% NDs.
Conclusion In patients with sinonasal malignancies with BI or ND who underwent IC, no patients had cessation of treatment due to neurologic decline. In contrast, most patients had improvement of neurologic symptoms with IC. IC was safely administered without interruption due to neurological decline or symptom progression.
What Role Does Microthrombosis Play in Long COVID?
Authors: Iba Toshiaki , Connors Jean M. , Levy Jerrold H. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractSoon after the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), unexplained sustained fatigue, cognitive disturbance, and muscle ache/weakness were reported in patients who had recovered from acute COVID-19 infection. This abnormal condition has been recognized as “long COVID (postacute sequelae of COVID-19 [PASC])” with a prevalence estimated to be from 10 to 20% of convalescent patients. Although the pathophysiology of PASC has been studied, the exact mechanism remains obscure. Microclots in circulation can represent one of the possible causes of PASC. Although hypercoagulability and thrombosis are critical mechanisms of acute COVID-19, recent studies have reported that thromboinflammation continues in some patients, even after the virus has cleared. Viral spike proteins and RNA can be detected months after patients have recovered, findings that may be responsible for persistent thromboinflammation and the development of microclots. Despite this theory, long-term results of anticoagulation, antiplatelet therapy, and vascular endothelial protection are inconsistent, and could not always show beneficial treatment effects. In summary, PASC reflects a heterogeneous condition, and microclots cannot explain all the presenting symptoms. After clarification of the pathomechanisms of each symptom, a symptom- or biomarker-based stratified approach should be considered for future studies.

Supply chain myths in the resilience and deglobalization narrative: consequences for policy
Authors: Thakur-Weigold Bublu , Miroudot Sébastien 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe economic disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have generated a narrative of resilience and deglobalization that brings the old world order into question. Heightened public attention on perceived supply chain failures has exerted pressure on governments to intervene in firm-level operations to assure supply of essential or strategic goods. This paper argues that the narrative is founded on false premises. In particular, three supply chain myths have emerged in public and academic discourse: (i) lean management has gone too far and exacerbated disruptions in global supply chains; (ii) efficient supply chains are less resilient; and (iii) foreign supply makes supply chains less resilient. We argue that these beliefs are not adequately supported by evidence. They can displace analysis to negatively impact policy and actually diminish resilience. Drawing upon IB and supply chain management research, we investigate the root causes of perceived market failures. Recommendations are for an evidence-based debate on current events and policies.
Experimental study of boiling heat transfer characteristics of forced flow in annular tube under negative pressure

Published: September 2023

In order to investigate the recycling technology for efficiently recovering low-temperature wastewater waste heat from industrial production, we built an experimental device for forced boiling heat transfer in an annular tube. This paper takes a ring casing evaporator with an inner tube diameter of 30 mm, a length of 1450 mm, a wall thickness of 0.8 mm, and an outer tube diameter of 14.2 mm, which was used as the main object of study. We conducted experimental research on heat transfer in single-phase liquid flow and two-phase boiling phase change within annular tubes by varying the inlet circulating hot water temperature (60–85 °C), the mass flow rate of the circulating mass (0.85, 1.27, 1.69 kg m−2 s−1), and the inclination angle (0°–90°). The research results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient of boiling phase change within annular sleeves is significantly enhanced compared to convective heat transfer of single-phase liquid flow within annular tubes. This signifies that employing heat pipe technology for waste heat recovery can achieve highly efficient heat transfer processes. This study also reveals that with an increase in the inclination angle, the heat transfer coefficient on the boiling surface follows a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease. Near an inclination angle of 30° within the annular jacket tube, the heat transfer coefficient of two-phase boiling phase change reaches its maximum value. The findings of this study provide certain theoretical guidance for the application of heat pipe energy-saving technology in the field of medium- and low-temperature waste water recovery and utilization.
Polarization-gradient KNbO3 film with a large photovoltaic current

Published: September 2023

Potassium niobate (KNbO3, KNO) has been intensively investigated for photovoltaic performance because of its non-toxicity and excellent nonlinear optical properties. The corresponding photovoltaic current density, however, remains very low due to a wide bandgap. Chemical doping and strain engineering strategies have been employed to tailor the band structure to enhance photovoltaic current density. Nevertheless, the original current density is still at a level of several tens of nA/cm2, significantly limiting device applications. In this work, we report a lattice-gradient KNO film on (100) single-crystal 0.7 wt. % Nb doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) substrate processed by annealing, generating a polarization-gradient that allows us to generate a large current density via a built-in field. The film exhibits a remarkable short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 58.63 µA/cm2 under the 375 nm irradiation of 500 mW/cm2 light intensity, where the corresponding responsivity (117.26 µA/W) is ∼3.82 times higher than those of reported KNO-based materials. It was revealed that the annealing process driven interfacial structure evolution from disorder to atomic-scale smoothness, accompanied by the transformation of the polarization shielding mechanism. After this process, an intriguing lattice-gradient throughout the film was established to have a uniform polarization direction, possibly accounting for the improved photovoltaic current density of KNO film. These findings may trigger interest in developing KNO as a potential key material for lead-free optoelectronic or photodetector devices.
Unlearning and relearning sexuality: a qualitative exploration of The Sex Wrap, a sex education podcast
Authors: Keegan Julia , Cooper Spring Chenoa , Porter Andrew , Ciervo Courtney , Khalid Rafia 
Published: September 2023

Background Traditional school-based sexuality education has a myriad of problems with its successful delivery, including access to comprehensive sexuality curricula, access to trained facilitators, and community and parental fears. As an alternative form of sexuality education, The Sex Wrap podcast is released in weekly episodes of about 20–45 min, providing listeners with diverse, evidence-based sexual health information. Methods Participants in a larger mixed-methods study evaluating The Sex Wrap were invited to participate in qualitative in-depth interviews to explore their experiences with sexuality education, including The Sex Wrap, and how they relate to information received through the podcast. Seventeen interviews were conducted with listeners of The Sex Wrap, aged 20–25 years old. Results One core category and three axial codes were identified in the interview data. The core category is: sexuality education is an ongoing process that includes learning and unlearning. The three temporally related axial codes are: (1) experiences with formal and informal sexuality education (mostly negative) drove participants to seek more information about sex, (2) participants use The Sex Wrap as a way of exploring and personalising information about sexuality, and (3) participants equipped with comprehensive sexuality education are empowered to educate their peers. Conclusions This study suggests that podcast-based interventions, such as The Sex Wrap, can play a key role in young people’s process of sexuality education and should be considered for incorporation into other forms of sex education.
Understanding and quantifying whole soil-profile organic carbon transfer using an environmental tracer
Authors: Hancock G. R. 
Published: September 2023

Context Quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) depth distribution and its vertical transport is needed for both improved understanding of soil properties and behaviour as well as enhanced organic carbon sequestration. This is a global issue, that if better understood, could result in both more agriculturally productive soils as well as enhanced environmental outcomes. Aims Quantify whole soil-profile SOC and down-profile movement at a series of sites in south-east Australia. Methods Soil is sampled at regular intervals using cores and assessed for SOC and environmental tracer (137Cs) concentration. Key results Soils that have a high clay content (Vertosols) and crack (i.e. self mulching) have the highest SOC content. In high clay content soils, 137Cs is present at depths well below that at which it would be present by diffusive processes. Conclusions Surface soil, labelled with 137Cs is moving down the soil profile by advective processes to depths well below that possible by diffusive processes alone. Using local erosion rates and carbon input, it is estimated that less than 1% of SOC is delivered to the cracking soils by erosional processes and that the majority of SOC must be produced in situ. Implications Given that 137Cs is a relatively new environmental tracer (1945 onwards), this suggests that surface labelled soil is reaching depths of up to 80 cm at decadal time scales. The methods and findings here have global applicability and provide insights into potential enhancement of carbon sequestration in both cropping and grazing landscapes.
The circulation of knowledge vs the mobility of translation, or
how mobile are translators and translations?
Authors: Hofeneder Philipp 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
One way of doing research on translation history
is to measure and analyse translations (for a classic example see
Pym and Chrupała
2005). This quantitative approach normally focuses on
published translations between different languages and as such is
limited in several respects. First, it focuses primarily on
translations as products of translatorial activities. Secondly,
translation flows are mostly structured along particular source and
target languages, which are more than often not equated with
particular political entities. In my contribution I would like to
adopt a spatial approach to these translation flows. In doing so, I
focus not only on translations as physical objects but also on the
agents enabling them, that is authors, translators and finally
readers. My aim is to reconstruct patterns of mobility of relevant
agents and objects in translation which together constitute a
so-called translatorial space. Where do these agents live and work?
Where are these works published and where are the readers of these
works located? Is the mobility of ideas automatically connected to
the mobility of people or objects? In this respect it is not
important that a certain language or literature circulates, but how
it disseminates beyond its initial place(s) of origin.
A transatlantic flow of Spanish and Catalan romans-à-clef
Authors: Monzón Rodríguez Sofía 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the editions of

romans-à-clef
written by
Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, and Lawrence Durrell, those that traveled
from South America to the Iberian Peninsula in the 1960s, and the
Spanish and Catalan translations carried out domestically in Spain.
It aims to identify the network of agents that facilitated the
translations by examining archival material on the circulation and
reception of the works included in my case studies: Miller’s
Tropic of Cancer and Black
Spring, Nin’s A Spy in the House of
Love and Ladders to Fire, and
Durrell’s Justine and Balthazar,
which arrived in Franco’s Spain (sometimes smuggled editions, often
censored versions and even “non-translations”). With this
documentary material, I illustrate how the translators, publishers
and censors involved in this translation flow between North America,
Argentina and Francoist Spain interacted to shape the reception of
these novels for the Spanish and Catalan readership.
Nollywood and indigenous language translation flows
Authors: Botha Maricel 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Africa’s multiplicity of languages has seen
little manifestation in large-scale translation flows of the
indigenous African languages in the post-independence period,
largely because of the hegemony of ex-colonial languages. Against
this background, Nollywood’s stimulation of translation from and
into indigenous African languages in a way that crosses national
borders and exhibits some “velocity” is exceptional. This chapter
investigates Nollywood’s relationship with indigenous language
translation and accounts for the conditions that promote indigenous
language use in inter-societal information flows. The investigation
employs the concepts of selective mediation and permeability as
described in Sergey Tyulenev’s application of Niklas Luhmann’s
social systems theory to explore how Nollywood-stimulated indigenous
language translations can pierce through language barriers, while
operating selectively under the influence of social and ideological
conditioning.
Using smartpens and digital pens in interpreter
training and interpreting research
Authors: Orlando Marc 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
For over a decade, digital pen technology has been
investigated, trialled and recommended for use in interpreter training and
interpreting research, whether as a tool to develop metacognitive activities
and provide feedback in the interpreting classroom, or as an instrument to
test and explore various areas of interpreting research (e.g. note-taking
processes, hybrid modes, cognitive load) in new ways. This chapter aims at reviewing
and taking stock of the training and research initiatives undertaken on
digital pens and smartpens, as well as at looking ahead and
making suggestions about equipment and potential future initiatives that
would benefit interpreting students, educators, and researchers.
Public service interpreters’ perceptions and acceptance of remote
interpreting technologies in times of a pandemic
Authors: Stengers Hélène , Lázaro Gutiérrez Raquel , Kerremans Koen 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In the past two decades, the use of technology in the
professional practice of interpreting has evolved at an impressive pace. The
fast development of communication and digital technologies has led to
profound changes in how interpreting services are delivered. In this study,
we present the results of a questionnaire study into public service interpreters’
perceptions and acceptance of remote interpreting technologies (RITs). The
survey was conducted through an online questionnaire containing both
closed and open-ended questions, and taps into public service
interpreters’ use of remote interpreting technologies, the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the use of these technologies and interpreters’
acceptance of the technologies in different settings of PSI.
Automatic speech translation in the classroom and lecture
setting
Authors: Lewis William D. , Niehues Jan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
With dramatic improvements in quality for the
technologies underlying Speech Translation, e.g., Speech Recognition and
Machine Translation, the potential viability of Speech Translation in
certain scenarios may finally be within reach. This is no truer than in
educational settings where, with ever-growing immigration and an
increasingly global workforce, multilingual classrooms and educational
settings have become the norm around the world rather than the exception.
The problem is that many educational institutions are faced with the
daunting challenge of meeting the needs of upwards of 30–100 language
communities simultaneously. Scenarios include providing translated content
or instruction to linguistically diverse student populations, often in the
same classroom, and parent-educator interactions, sometimes individually but
also often in group settings. In the former scenario, speech translation
technology can be a bridge between the student’s home language and the
dominant language used in the classroom and an aid for learning the dominant
language. In the latter scenario, parents, unlike their children, may never
achieve proficiency in the dominant language(s), yet still need to be
involved in their children’s education. The technology can provide them
access where otherwise there may be none, or where the options may be
severely limited. The large-scale multilingual requirements of these
immigrant and diverse communities when interacting with educators generally
defies reliable human-centric solutions and begs for technological ones.
Local language in the context of political divides
Authors: Mendoza Ronald U. , Domingo Cristine Lian C. , Mendoza Gabrielle Ann S. , Yap Jurel K. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
As populist leaders leverage disparities across geographic and language communities, democracies are threatened by
an increasingly divisive political climate that compromises public discussions. This study evaluates how the basic communication
strategy of utilizing local languages in information campaigns can help overcome divides by encouraging engagement and
discussions. We conduct a field experiment to assess whether using the four most prevalent languages in the Philippines
(Cebuano-Bisaya, Ilonggo-Hiligaynon, Ilokano, and Waray-Samarnon) can increase engagement in online materials for targeted
linguistic groups. Through split-testing on Facebook, we find evidence that local language materials are more likely to catch the
attention of the audience and increase engagement. Qualitative validation shows that local language use is an effective tool to
build self-efficacy for linguistic groups to join in on national conversations, and serves as an identity marker to evoke a sense
of pride and community. These findings open opportunities for evidence-guided social media campaign strategies.
A shared linguistic system of multilingual representations
Authors: Slabakova Roumyana 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses multilingual linguistic
representations and probes the question of whether they
form a shared linguistic system. Recent psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic studies of multilingual individuals
suggest that this is indeed the case. Taking Minimalist morphosyntax
and Lardiere’s (2009)
feature reassembly as starting points, we consider whether a feature
bundle can be updated and re-assembled as a complete
unit in the third language, or whether it has to be broken down into
separate features which are updated separately. The latter
option makes sure that features from both known languages, if they
are acquired to a functional level, can exert cross-linguistic
influence (CLI). Restructuring each feature bundle
depends not just on the availability of facilitation, but on other
properties of the input which affect
what becomes intake in the additional grammar. Both experiential
factors (such as dominance and proficiency) and linguistic factors
(such as frequency in the input and complexity) can and do affect
the acquisition process.
