Die Anfänge der Zeitschrift Raumforschung und Raumordnung (RuR) – 1936 bis 1944. Zeit- und Ungeist im Umbruch
Authors: Strubelt Wendelin 
Published: December 2022

This paper is based on intensive study of the contents of the journal “Raumforschung und Raumordnung” (RuR) – from its first publication in 1936 to its (temporary) discontinuation in 1944. It was the forum for the new scientific and political thoughts and reflections that were formed in this field during the Nazi era and was supported by the institutions in charge of its publication: the “Reich Association for Spatial Research” (RAG) and the “Reich Agency for Spatial Planning” (RfR). The aim of the paper is to uncover which social developments and accompanying intellectual groundwork from the time before 1933 the authors were able to build upon, both positively and negatively, and which expositions paid tribute to the (malevolent) spirit of the times and the goals of the Nazi regime. The contradiction between professional competence and intellectual subservience to the Nazi regime, or even the perversion of professionality, is revealed in the career behaviour of academics and practitioners, almost all of whom were born around 1900. Their activities after 1945 and their future careers are mentioned but are not the subject of this paper.

Objective. To analyze the results of the use of minimally invasive technologies in the treatment of patients with degenerative deformity of the lumbar spine.Material and Methods. Design: Single-center, non-randomized continuous retrospective cohort study. The level of evidence is 3b (UK Oxford, version 2009). A total of 57 patients (10 men and 47 women) were operated for degenerative scoliosis of the lumbar spine using minimally invasive techniques. The quality of life indicators using ODI, SF-36, VAS, as well as linear and angulometric parameters of the spine were studied.Results. The age of patients ranged from 37 to 81 years (62/62 [55; 67], hereinafter the data format is mean/median [1; 3rd quartile]). In the postoperative period, patients operated on with MIS techniques showed a statistically significant decrease in pain by 4.3/4.0 [3; 6] points in the lumbar spine, and by 4.3/4.0 [3; 6] points in the legs. Quality of life indicators according to ODI improved by 24/23 [19; 29], and the level of functional adaptation according to the SF-36 questionnaire – by 18/18 [14; 21] in terms of physical parameters and by 18/20 [16; 23] in terms of mental parameters. The deformity angle in the frontal plane according to Cobb decreased by 12.9°/13.0° [10°; 17°], lumbar lordosis changed by 3.3°/2.0° [-1°; 7°], segmental angle L4–S1 – by 1.0°/0.0° [-5°; 7°], and SVA changed by -7.5/-2.0 [-29; 15] mm. As a result of minimally invasive surgical intervention, a good clinical result was obtained in correcting the scoliotic deformity angle from 17.5°/16.0° [11°; 22°] to 4.6°/4.0° [1°; 7°].Conclusion. The study showed the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical treatment of degenerative scoliosis of the lumbar spine with short-segment fixation, which allowed obtaining satisfactory clinical results in 93 % of cases with a minimum number of complications (7 %).

Authors: Leonova O. N. , Baikov E. S. , Krutko A. V. 
Published: December 2022

Objective. To analyze the literature data and to present recommendations on the use of the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in the practice of spinal surgeon-researcher.Material and Methods. The article is a non-systematic review of the literature. A search was performed for sources, which describe the calculation and analysis of the MCID parameter on a cohort of patients with degenerative spinal diseases in the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Further, the analysis of the literature was carried out on the application of MCID to assess the effectiveness of surgical treatment.Results. The MCID parameter is illustrated for the most common clinical scales used to assess the effectiveness of treatment in spinal surgery, with their detailed description and discussion of their benefits and drawbacks. The specific MCID values for cervical and lumbar pathologies, first of all degenerative ones, and follow-up periods, which can be used in assessing the results of the treatment, as well as in planning prospective comparative studies are presented.Conclusion. The MCID parameter is required for sample size calculation and for the analysis of treatment outcomes. The MCID reflects not just the change in the baseline indicator, but also the clinical significance for the patient.

Authors: Andy Andy , El-Hamzah Salsabilla Maula Zalfa , Antonio Ferdi 
Published: December 2022

Background: The nursing environment has become a consideration for an organization in improving service quality, especially in the implementation of patient-centred care. The various dimensions make it necessary to know which sectors need to be prioritized. However, there is still limited research that is more specific in linking the dimensions to become more operational. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nursing environment dimensions and patient centricity through the Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA).Methods: A quantitative survey with a cross-sectional approach was conducted in June 2022 to test the conceptual framework on the population obtained from non-managerial inpatient nurses who worked for above two years in a general hospital in East Java, Indonesia. The constructs were measured using a set of indicators in The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and Patient Centricity. During the data collection, a total sampling technique was performed, resulting in 89 respondents being acquired. The data were analyzed through partial least squared structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).Results: At the construct level, the mean total effect and performance were 0.192 and 56.302, respectively. From the IPMA chart, it was found that the construct in the right lower quadrant with the largest total effect value but not having adequate performance was nursing manager ability (total effect: 0.294, performance: 34.563), making it a construct with the highest importance and requiring priority for improvement among all dimensions.Conclusion: The nursing environment dimensions have to get attention to achieve patient centricity in inpatient ward nurses, where nursing manager ability is the dimension that has the most vulnerable performance. Leadership development is needed for the head nurse of the inpatient unit to strengthen the ability to lead and change the culture in nurturing subordinates so that kinship between nursing professionals can be established.

Published: December 2022

Background: Marital and sexual satisfaction are essential for conjugal bliss and harmony. However, stress in the workplace can influence sexual and marital satisfaction of couples. There is dearth of information about level of sexual and marital satisfaction among healthcare workers in Nigeria, as well as the connections between stress, sexual and marital satisfaction among healthcare workers. Purpose: This study assessed inter-relationship between perceived stress, sexual and marital satisfaction among married healthcare workers.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study adopted a quantitative approach among 150 consented healthcare workers recruited using a simple random sampling technique. Instruments for data collection included the Perceived Stress Scale, Enrich Marital Satisfaction questionnaire and Pinney Sexual Satisfaction Inventory. The Pearson correlation was used to ascertain relationships and linear regression was done to predict influence of one variable on the other.Results: Perceived level of stress of the healthcare workers was low [16.9(0.001)] and mean sexual satisfaction (SS) was poor [78.93(23.68)]. Also, 49.3% were found to be the dissatisfied maritally. Perceived stress showed a positive correlation with marital satisfaction (MS) (r=0.48, p<0.01). However, stress negatively correlated with participants’ SS with partners (r=-0.51, p<0.01). Similarly, general SS positively correlated with MS (r=0.32, p<0.01). Predictors of MS included perceived stress (β=0.614, p=0.01), age differences with spouse (β=0.30, p=0.01), number of children (β=-0.24, p=0.01), and family type (β=-0.21, p=0.05).Conclusion: Only half of the participants in this study are maritally satisfied. Marital satisfaction increases with sexual satisfaction. Stress is correlated with reduced sexual satisfaction of the participant, and as number of children increases, marital satisfaction reduces. Couples should be encouraged to give birth to moderate number of children to improve marital satisfaction.
Value-added utilization of coal fly ash and recycled polyvinyl chloride in door or window sub-frame composites

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Comprehensive utilization of coal fly ashes (CFA) solid waste is a worldwide urgent issue. In China, tens of millions of tons of CFA are un-utilized and stored or discarded in landfills per year, causing a significant waste of resources and a serious environmental hazard. Herein, we developed a new process to reuse CFA and recycled polyvinyl chloride (r-PVC) to produce door or window sub-frame (DWSF) composite materials, realized CFA and r-PVC trash to treasure. In this process, aluminate-modified CFA mixing with r-PVC and other additives obtain a mixture, subsequently extruding into pellets, re-extrusion, cooling, shaping, hauling, and cutting to DWSF materials. The mechanical properties of these are excellent and meet the National Standards, with static bending and tensile strengths of 33 and 13.6 MPa, respectively, and a hardness of 89.2 HRR. Compared with the traditional CaCO3-based DWSF, our CFA-based DWSFs have higher competitive both from the perspective of “carbon neutrality” and production costs. More strikingly, this process is simple, robust, and easy to industrialize, which allows large-scale, value-added utilization of CFA.
Genealogy, Immanent Critique and Forms of Life: A Path for Decolonial Studies
Authors: Santos James William , Sobottka Emil Albert 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article argues for a viable genealogical approach within critical theory that could settle the questions regarding normative viability of such critique. Then, the implications of the normative inheritance implied lead to the pairing of Jaeggi’s conceptualization and critique of forms of life with Rosa’s dual diagnosis of (late) modernity through the structural lenses of genealogy as tridimensional endeavor posed by Saar. In the end, the final argument is that a genealogical critique in these terms could be the next step towards the revitalization of decolonial studies and a path for direct political action.

Abstract
This paper presented the high performance signature of transceiver fiber system based on cascade uniform fiber Bragg grating devices. This model has a data rate of 20 Gb/s extended along optical fiber length of 10 km that amplified with an optical EDFA amplifiers at 5 m length. The presented study clarified max. Q of 20.33 compared to the previous models at the value of 8.66. The electrical visualizer measured the total power at the receiver that is 9.564 dBm at the previous model and 23.347 dBm at the presented model. Therefore the total power at the receiver increased by 2.44 times at the presented model and the max. Q also upgraded by 2.96 times at the presented model.
A novel approach towards the designing of WDM-FSO system incorporating three SOPs and its performance analysis under different geographical regions of India
Authors: Sachdeva Shippu , Sindhwani Manoj , Kaur Simarpreet , Kumar Abhishek , Adhikari Manoj Singh 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Free space optical (FSO) communication is a propitious technology and emerged as a quintessential candidate for fifth-generation (5G) networks. Inter-channel crosstalk and high cost in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems are predominant limitations. Therefore, in this work, a 180 Gbps WDM-FSO system is proposed by incorporating three different states of polarizations (SOPs) as SOP 0°, SOP 45°, and SOP 90° for the first time. Moreover, the proposed system is investigated in different geographical regions of India such as hilly, desert, coastal, and plain regions. Moreover, the effects of different SOPs on the system are also evaluated in terms of the Q factor and results revealed that SOP 0° performed best in the desert region.
Active verbs with inanimate, text-denoting subjects in Polish and English abstracts of research articles in linguistics
Authors: Wiraszka Łukasz 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article is concerned with “abstract rhetors”, i.e. inanimate nouns used as subjects of active verbs, in Polish and English academic texts. The few existing studies that deal with abstract rhetors in Polish indicate that their use is limited in comparison with English in both quantitative and qualitative terms. However, no suggestions have been offered so far as to the potential factors that may underlie these limitations, especially with regard to the qualitative differences. Focusing on a special type of abstract rhetors, namely active verbs used with text-denoting subjects, the article offers a comparable corpus-based analysis of Polish and English abstracts of research articles in linguistics with a view to determining their frequencies and shedding some light on the possible causes of the limited use of the structure in Polish. The results show that the use of active verbs with nouns referring to the abstracted article or its part is more than twice less frequent in Polish than in English, with considerable differences between the types of verbs employed in such contexts in the two languages. Three factors are proposed as potentially affecting the compatibility of the Polish verb with an inanimate, text-denoting noun: the type of agency, the supported metaphor/metonymy for the research article, and verb aspect/telicity.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

The objective of this study was to observe the response of the bird cherry oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus, 1758) to field rate equivalents of insecticides, by using bioassays of vials coated with the pyrethroid, λ-cyhalothrin. The results from the geographically separated Irish R. padi colonies indicated a susceptible response, which was a similar finding to the UK which showed sensitivity in this species of cereal aphids. Monitoring the susceptibility status of aphids using bioassays gives information regarding developments of any tolerance, which could be a precursor, or resistance against the target chemical insecticide, which is an important integrated pest management tool.

Authors: ÖZOĞLU Nurhan , ÇETİN Ali Rıza 
Published: December 2022

Mine demineralizasyonu ve beyaz nokta lezyonları, ortodontik tedavi sırasında, yetersiz ağız hijyenine bağlı bakteri plağına uzun süre maruz kalınmasından dolayı ortaya çıkabilir. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, ortodontik tedavi sonrası ön dişlerinde demineralizasyon alanları oluşmuş olan ve eski dolgularından memnun olmayan hastanın dişlerinin tedavisini aktarmaktır.
Sağlıklı, 20 yaşında kadın hasta kliniğimize ön dişlerinin görünümünden şikayetçi olduğunu belirterek başvurdu. Klinik ve ragyografik muayeneler sonucunda; hastanın eski kompozit restorasyonlarının altında sekonder çürükler ve kole bölgelerinde yaygın beyaz nokta demineralizasyon alanlarının bulunduğu görüldü. Beyaz nokta lezyon bölgeleri için rezin infiltrasyon yöntemi uygulandı. Ancak demineralizasyon alanlarının derin oluşu ve hastanın hızlı estetik beklentileri göz önüne alınarak, estetik rezin kompozitler ile restorasyonlara karar verildi. Eski rezin restorasyonlar kaldırılarak estetik olarak yenilendi. 10 gün sonra kontrol seansında estetik ve fonksiyonel olarak hastanın beklentilerinin karşılandığı gözlemlendi.

Authors: Weikel Blair W. , Klawetter Susanne , Bourque Stephanie L. , Hannan Kathleen E. , Roybal Kristi , Soondarotok Modi , St. Pierre Marie , Fraiman Yarden S. , Hwang Sunah S. 
Published: December 2022

Context
Infant race and ethnicity are used ubiquitously in research and reporting, though inconsistent approaches to data collection and definitions yield variable results. The consistency of these data has an impact on reported findings and outcomes.

Objective
To systematically review and examine concordance among differing race and ethnicity data collection techniques presented in perinatal health care literature.

Data Sources
PubMed, CINAHL, and Ovid were searched on June 17, 2021.

Study Selection
English language articles published between 1980 and 2021 were included if they reported on the United States’ infant population and compared 2 or more methods of capturing race and/or ethnicity.

Data Extraction
Two authors independently evaluated articles for inclusion and quality, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer.

Results
Our initial search identified 4329 unique citations. Forty articles passed title/abstract review and were reviewed in full text. Nineteen were considered relevant and assessed for quality and bias, from which 12 studies were ultimately included. Discordance in infant race and ethnicity data were common among multiple data collection methods, including those frequently used in perinatal health outcomes research. Infants of color and those born to racially and/or ethnically discordant parents were the most likely to be misclassified across data sources.

Limitations
Studies were heterogeneous in methodology and populations of study and data could not be compiled for analysis.

Conclusions
Racial and ethnic misclassification of infants leads to inaccurate measurement and reporting of infant morbidity and mortality, often underestimating burden in minoritized populations while overestimating it in the non-Hispanic/Latinx white population.
Sex differences in jealousy and personality differences: Comparing consensually non-monogamous participants to a monogamous cohort
Authors: Edlund John E. , Kinner Kristyn , Seda Darius 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSex differences in jealousy are a well-established research finding that suggests men (relative to women) will find the sexual components of an infidelity more distressing, whereas women (relative to men) will find the emotional components of an infidelity more distressing. This study uses a relatively novel sample of participants (individuals who engage in consensual non-monogamy) to test both cultural and evolutionary influences on jealousy. In our study using hypothetical scenarios, we found that men (relative to women) were more upset about the sexual components of the infidelity and that women (relative to men) were more upset about the emotional components of the infidelity. This occurred in both samples to the same magnitude suggesting that the differences between the men and women may be driven by evolutionary influences. Additionally, we found a main effect of relationship type such that participants who engaged in consensual non-monogamy had lower levels of jealousy overall. As such, this study provides relatively unique evidence for the ultimate origins of sex differences in jealousy.
