Introduction: Hospitals had to create new practices and training due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. An increase in patient acuity and the need for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) across the hospital required an urban community hospital to educate and support in-patient nurses to manage PICCs in acute and complex care units. Traditionally, these skills were performed by specialized registered nurses (RNs) from the Vascular Access Team (VAT). This paper highlights the education plan, implementation, and evaluation of a hospital-wide training for RNs and registered practical nurses (RPNs) in in-patient units during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: Clinical Resource Leaders (CRLs) created a modular approach to upskill existing nurses and train new hires. Various education strategies, such as the use of competency assessments, creating practice supports, and incorporating specialists as a resource, were utilized to ensure knowledge transfer, application, and guidance of evidence-informed clinical practices. Vascular Access Team documentation was utilized to obtain Kirkpatrick's (2021) level 4 evaluation. Results: This training program was implemented after the second wave of the pandemic and was also embedded into nursing orientation. This structured approach ensured that nurses were competent to support the increased acuity and needs of patients. Eighty percent of full-time and part-time nurses were trained to manage PICC lines. Conclusion: Education evaluation results show a decrease in PICC-related VAT assistance requests with a baseline of 570 calls down to 149 six months after education was implemented. Leaders are encouraged to ensure teams have role clarity, policies, and practice supports to be successful.

Published: January 2023

HighlightsIF and VF agricultural radial tires are capable of carrying a greater load at the same inflation pressure than a standard radial tire. For this MFWD tractor and central-fill planter, the rear tractor tire is the main source of soil compaction during planting.The peak soil stress for the rear tractor tire was greater for standard radial tire inflation pressures than for IF radial tire inflation pressures.Potential soil compaction is expected to be greater for standard radial tire inflation pressures than for IF radial tire inflation pressures.Abstract. New agricultural tire standards, designated as Increased Flexion (IF) and Very High Flexion (VF), have been introduced for agricultural machines that offer larger contact areas compared to the standard radial tire carrying the same axle load. Limited studies have been conducted on how the newly adopted IF tires and precision tire inflation pressure management systems affect soil compaction, fuel economy, and crop yield responses. This study aimed to investigate the effects of field and transport (road) tire inflation pressure settings of row-crop agricultural tractor and planter tires on soil compaction. A completely randomized design experiment was conducted at the Iowa State University farm at Boone, Iowa, for two tire inflation pressure levels on the dual front (Firestone IF 420/85R34) and dual rear (Firestone IF 480/80R50) tires on a John Deere 8310R MFWD tractor, as well as transport tires (Super single 445/50R22.5) on a John Deere DB60 central-fill planter. Soil compaction was measured using Stress State Transducers (SSTs) buried at 150 mm and 300 mm depths beneath the untrafficked soil surface. The soil cone index depth profile was measured at the tire centerline before and after the tractor and planter tire passes. After the tractor and planter tire passes, rut depth was also measured at the tire centerline. Peak octahedral normal stress (soct) and the corresponding octahedral shear stress (toct) values in soil were calculated from the SST data. The peak soct for the rear tractor tire was significantly greater for the Standard Radial Tire Pressures treatment than for the IF Radial Tire Pressures treatment. The tire inflation pressure treatment did not significantly affect the peak soct for the front tractor tire and the planter transport tire. For this tractor and planter configuration, soil stress results identify the rear tractor tires as the main source of soil compaction during planting. The Standard Radial Tire Pressures treatment caused significantly higher soil cone index and soil rut depth compared with the IF Radial Tire Pressures (P &lt; 0.05). As indicated by soil stresses, potential soil compaction from the tractor and planter transport tires is expected to be greater for standard radial tire inflation pressures than for IF radial tire inflation pressures. Keywords: Increased Flexion (IF) radial tire, Soil compaction, Soil cone index, Soil stress state, Tire inflation pressure.
Super multi-view display based on near-eye pinholes
Authors: Fan Haizhen , Ye Qiu , Liu Lilin , Teng Dongdong 
Published: January 2023

Vergence-accommodation-conflict-free super multi-view (SMV) display based on more than one near-eye pinhole group for each pupil of the viewer is developed in this paper. Two-dimensionally arranged pinholes of a group correspond to different subscreens of the display screen, with perspective views projected by each subscreen through a corresponding pinhole splicing into an image of enlarged field of view (FOV). By sequentially switching on/off different pinhole groups, more than one mosaic image is projected to each pupil of the viewer. Adjacent pinholes of a group are endowed with different timing-polarizing characteristics to generate an effective noise-free region for each pupil. In the experiment, four groups of 3×3 pinholes are configured for a proof-of-concept SMV display on a 240 Hz display screen, with a diagonal FOV of 55 deg and a depth of field reaching 1.2 m.
Ambient light rejection method for multiphoton coincidence detection in single-photon avalanche diode-based DToF sensors
Authors: Zhou Hulin , Chen Quanmin , Sun Minghao , Xu Jiangtao , Nie Kaiming 
Published: January 2023

This paper
presents an adaptive control
method used for multiphoton coincidence detection to reduce the effect
of ambient light that exists in accessing flight time. Behavioral and
statistical models are used to demonstrate the working principle with
MATLAB, and the method is achieved through a compact circuit. The
adaptive coincidence detection in accessing flight time achieves a
higher probability of 66.5% than fixed parameter coincidence
detection’s 46%, while ambient light intensity is
75 klux. Additionally, it also can achieve a dynamic detection
range 43.8 times higher than the fixed parameter detection. The
circuit is designed in 0.11 µm complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor process, and the area consumption is 0.00178mm2. The postsimulation experiment
through Virtuoso shows that the histogram of coincidence detection
under adaptive control circuit is consistent with the behavioral
model. The proposed method acieves the coefficient of variance as
0.0495 smaller than fixed parameter coincidence’s 0.0853, which
means better ambient light tolerance in accessing flight time for
three-dimensional imaging.
Metasurface-based triple-band beam splitter with large spatial separation at visible wavelengths
Authors: Wei Lifei , Huang Huamao 
Published: January 2023

The dual-function of a wavelength beam splitter and a power beam splitter is desired in both classical optics and quantum optics. We propose a triple-band large-spatial-separation beam splitter at visible wavelengths using a phase-gradient metasurface in both the x- and y-directions. Under x-polarized normal incidence, the blue light is split in the y-direction into two equal-intensity beams owing to the resonance inside a single meta-atom, the green light is split in the x-direction into another two equal-intensity beams owing to the size variation between adjacent meta-atoms, while the red light passes directly without splitting. The size of the meta-atoms was optimized based on their phase response and transmittance. The simulated working efficiencies under normal incidence are 68.1%, 85.0%, and 81.9% at the wavelengths of 420 nm, 530 nm, and 730 nm, respectively. The sensitivities of the oblique incidence and polarization angle are also discussed.

Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an immunoinflammatory and hypercoagulable state that contributes to respiratory distress, multi-organ dysfunction, and mortality. Dipyridamole, by increasing extracellular adenosine, has been postulated to be protective for COVID-19 patients through its immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant, vasodilatory, and anti-viral actions. Likewise, low-dose aspirin has also demonstrated protective effects for COVID-19 patients. This study evaluated the effect of these two drugs formulated together as Aggrenox in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Methods
In an open-label, single site randomized controlled trial (RCT), hospitalized COVID-19 patients were assigned to adjunctive Aggrenox (Dipyridamole ER 200mg/ Aspirin 25mg orally/enterally) with standard of care treatment compared to standard of care treatment alone. Primary endpoint was illness severity according to changes on the eight-point COVID ordinal scale, with levels of 1 to 8 where higher scores represent worse illness. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality and respiratory failure. Outcomes were measured through days 14, 28, and/or hospital discharge.

Results
From October 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021, a total of 98 patients, who had a median [IQR] age of 57 [47, 62] years and were 53.1% (n = 52) female, were randomized equally between study groups (n = 49 Aggrenox plus standard of care versus n = 49 standard of care alone). No clinically significant differences were found between those who received adjunctive Aggrenox and the control group in terms of illness severity (COVID ordinal scale) at days 14 and 28. The overall mortality through day 28 was 6.1% (3 patients, n = 49) in the Aggrenox group and 10.2% (5 patients, n = 49) in the control group (OR [95% CI]: 0.40 [0.04, 4.01], p = 0.44). Respiratory failure through day 28 occurred in 4 (8.3%, n = 48) patients in the Aggrenox group and 7 (14.6%, n = 48) patients in the standard of care group (OR [95% CI]: 0.21 [0.02, 2.56], p = 0.22). A larger decrease in the platelet count and blood glucose levels, and larger increase in creatinine and sodium levels within the first 7 days of hospital admission were each independent predictors of 28-day mortality (p < 0.05).

Conclusion
In this study of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, while the outcomes of COVID illness severity, odds of mortality, and chance of respiratory failure were better in the Aggrenox group compared to standard of care alone, the data did not reach statistical significance to support the standard use of adjuvant Aggrenox in such patients.

Published: January 2023

Background
Older adults have become a significant portion of the trauma population. Exploring their specificities is crucial to better meet their specific needs. The primary objective was to evaluate the temporal changes in the incidence, demographic and trauma characteristics, injury pattern, in-hospital admission, complications, and outcome of older trauma patients.

Methods
A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Quebec Trauma Registry. Patients aged ≥16 years admitted to one of the three adult level-I trauma centers between 2003 and 2017 were included. Descriptive analyses and trend-tests were performed to describe temporal changes.

Results
A total of 53,324 patients were included, and 24,822 were aged ≥65 years. The median [IQR] age increased from 57[36–77] to 67[46–82] years, and the proportion of older adults rose from 41.8% in 2003 to 54.1% in 2017. Among those, falls remain the main mechanism (84.7%-88.3%), and the proportion of severe thorax (+8.9%), head (+8.7%), and spine (+5%) injuries significantly increased over time. The proportion of severely injured older patients almost doubled (17.6%-32.3%), yet their mortality decreased (-1.0%). Their average annual bed-days consumption also increased (+15,004 and +1,437 in non-intensive care wards and ICU, respectively).

Conclusions
Since 2014, older adults have represented the majority of admissions in Level-I trauma centers in Québec. Their bed-days consumption has greatly increased, and their injury pattern and severity have deeply evolved, while we showed a decrease in mortality.

Published: January 2023

Background
Birth injury is harm that a baby suffers during the entire birth process. It includes both birth asphyxia and birth trauma. In Ethiopia, birth injury has become the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, accounting around 28%-31.6% of neonatal mortality. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with birth injuries among newborns delivered in public hospitals Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.

Methods
Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 15th to April 20th, 2021 in selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Random sampling and systematic random sampling were used. Data was entered by using Epi data version 4.0.2 and exported in to SPSS Software version 25 for analysis. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions analyses were used. Finally P-value <0.05 was used to claim statistically significant.

Result
The prevalence of birth injury was 24.7%. In the final model, birth asphyxia was significantly associated with the short height of the mothers (AOR = 10.7, 95% CI: 3.59–32.4), intrapartal fetal distress (AOR = 4.74, 95% CI: 1.81–12.4), cord prolapse (AOR = 7.7. 95% CI: 1.45–34.0), tight nuchal cord (AOR = 9.2. 95% CI: 4.9–35.3), birth attended by residents (AOR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.05–0.68), male sex (AOR = 3.84, 95% CI: 1.30–11.3) and low birth weight (AOR = 5.28, 95% CI: 1.58–17.6). Whereas, birth trauma was significantly associated with gestational diabetic mellitus (AOR = 5.01, 95% CI: 1.38–18.1), prolonged duration of labor (AOR = 3.74, 95% CI: 1.52–9.20), instrumental delivery (AOR = 10.6, 95% CI: 3.45–32.7) and night time birth (AOR = 4.82, 95% CI: 1.84–12.6).

Conclusion
The prevalence of birth injury among newborns has continued to increases and become life-threatening issue in the delivery and neonatal intensive care unit in the study area. Therefore, considering the prevailing factors, robust effort has to be made to optimize the quality obstetric care and follow up and emergency obstetrics team has to be strengthened to reduce the prevalence of birth injury.
Digital Approaches for Public Art Collection Between Conservation and Public Outreach
Authors: Gasparetto Francesca , Baratin Laura , Checcucci Giovanni 
Published: January 2023

Digital tools for artworks can offer new opportunities and design new approaches for conservation and public outreach. This paper presents the experience carried out by the School of Conservation and Restoration of the University of Urbino to preserve a public collection of wooden artistic models assembled by Umberto Mastroianni and used as a project of original bronze and steel sculptures. The digital documentation supported the maintenance protocol and helped design the restoration work. Moreover, thanks to cutting-edge technologies, a virtual exhibition was created, testing an AR application that allows the public to better appreciate the results of the interventions. Digital storytelling about artistic meaning connected the models to original sculptures placed in various Italian landscapes, offering the public an artistic journey into Urbino’s architecture.
Autofiktionale Generationenerzählungen in den aktuellen Romanen über postsowjetische Migration: Zu Sasha M. Salzmanns „Im Menschen muss alles herrlich sein" (2021), Lena Goreliks „Wer wir sind"(2021 ) und Dmitrij Kapitelmans „Eine Formalie in Kiew" (2021)

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht drei 2021 erschienenen Prosatexte von Vertreter*innen der russisch-ukrainisch-jüdischen postmigrantischen Generation unter dem Gesichtspunkt der darin problematisierten Konflikte mit der Generation der Eltern. Die autofiktionalen Familiengeschichten Goreliks, Kapitelmans und Salzmanns rekurrieren aus der Perspektive der Kinder auf die sowjetischen Erfahrungen der Eltern und ergründen die gegenseitige Entfremdung. In diachroner Achse der Generationenerzählung werden Rekapitulationsversuche unternommen, das sowjetische Erbe und die familiäre Migration aus dem transnationalen Blick des Ankommens zu reflektieren. Die synchrone Dimension der Romane verhandelt komplizierte Prozesse der Selbstermächtigung und kritischer Interventionen in die deutsche Gesellschaft. Mit jeweils unterschiedlichen ästhetischen Mitteln des Satirisch-Ironischen, episodenhaft-diskontinuierlichen Erzählens und Perspektivenwechsel-Spiels dokumentieren die Texte souveräne Selbstbestimmung und Selbsermächtigung der postmigratnischen Autor*innen in der deutschen Literaturszene.

Abstract

Objectives
To describe prevalence, outcome, color Doppler, and HDlive Flow (Silhouette) with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) features of isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus in Japanese fetuses at 28–31 + 6 weeks of gestation.

Methods
During a 37-month period, 3,150 fetal screenings were performed at 28–31 + 6 weeks of gestation. Isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus was evaluated using color Doppler and HDlive Flow (Silhouette) with STIC. Prevalence and outcomes were also assessed.

Results
There were 22/3,150 fetuses (0.7%) had isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus at 28–31 + 6 weeks of gestation. According to color Doppler and HDlive Flow findings, two types of isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus (Right-angled and Loop shapes) were classified. There were 20 Right-angled and 2 Loop shapes. One fetus with a Right-angled shape was associated with aortic tortuosity. HDlive Flow with STIC revealed spatial relationships of tortuous ductus arteriosus, aortic arch, and descending aorta. All fetuses with isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus had good neonatal outcomes.

Conclusions
The incidence of isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus in Japanese fetuses was low compared with those in previous reports. HDlive Flow with STIC provides precise information for spatial recognition and differentiation of isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus, resulting in two type classifications. Isolated tortuous ductus arteriosus in a fetus may be a transient, benign finding in utero.
