A scoring chart to evaluate cases of probable vestibular migraine
Authors: Alsarhan Haider 
Published: January 2023

Objectives
To suggest a chart for the diagnosis of probable vestibular migraine for cases that cannot fit the internationally agreed diagnostic criteria.

Methods
This retrospective study enrolled patients who presented with chronic dizziness and attacks of severe vertigo in whom the diagnostic criteria for diagnosing probable vestibular migraine were not applicable, and there was no possibility to account for other vestibular diagnoses. The trial of vestibular migraine treatment was started without any labyrinthine sedatives for a month. Patients whose conditions improved and were vertigo free for the trial period were included in this study. Common complaints, clinical examination findings, and hearing and vestibular test results were analyzed. Findings observed in more than 50% of the included patients were added to a chart. The chart was implemented with a score and included female gender, bilateral tinnitus, aural fullness, significant headache, family history of migraine, and reported hypotension. Any one of them increased the score by one point, while bilateral low frequencies sensorineural hearing loss and bilateral frequency tuning of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials increased the score by two points.

Results
All the patients had a score of 5 or more.

Conclusion
The diagnostic chart is useful for suggesting probable vestibular migraine in cases that do not comply with the internationally agreed diagnostic criteria.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Studies on the carrier transport characteristics of semiconductor nanomaterials are the important and interesting issues which are helpful for developing the next generation of optoelectronic devices. In this work, we fabricate B-doped Si nanocrystals/SiO2 multilayers by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with subsequent high temperature annealing. The electronic transport behaviors are studied via Hall measurements within a wide temperature range (30–660 K). It is found that when the temperature is above 300 K, all the B-doped Si nanocrystals with the size near 4.0 nm exhibit the semiconductor-like conduction characteristics, while the conduction of Si nanocrystals with large size near 7.0 nm transforms from semiconductor-like to metal-like at high B-doping ratios. The critical carrier concentration of conduction transition can reach as high as 2.2 × 1020 cm−3, which is significantly higher than that of bulk counterpart and may be even higher for the smaller Si nanocrystals. Meanwhile, the Mott variable-range hopping dominates the carrier transport when the temperature is below 100 K. The localization radius of carriers can be regulated by the B-doping ratios and Si NCs size, which is contributed to the metallic insulator transition.
Zero-frequency supercurrent susceptibility signatures of trivial and topological zero-energy states in nanowire junctions
Authors: Baldo Lucas , Dias Da Silva Luis G G V , Black-Schaffer Annica M , Cayao Jorge 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We propose a method to distinguish between trivial and topological, Majorana, zero-energy states (ZESs) in both short and long superconductor-normal-superconductor junctions based on Rashba nanowires using phase-biased equilibrium transport measurements. In particular, we show how the sawtooth profile of the supercurrent, due to the Majorana oscillation suppression in the topological phase for sufficiently long superconductor regions, leads to a strong signal in its zero-frequency susceptibility for a phase difference of

ϕ
=
π

. This signal is notably insensitive to the chemical potential in the normal region, while trivial ZESs only causes signals in the susceptibility that is highly varying with the chemical potential, thus turning gating of the normal region into a simple experimental control knob. Furthermore, we obtain that, by tuning the junction transparency, critical currents in both short and long junctions undergo a reduction in the number of oscillations as a function of magnetic field only in the topological phase, an effect that find to be intimately linked to Majorana non-locality. Finally, we show that our results also hold at finite temperatures, thus highlighting their potential measurability under realistic experimental conditions.
A functionality-switchable device based on coherent perfect absorption with narrowband absorbing performance and sensing function
Authors: Zhang Yang , Zhang Dan , Zhang Haifeng 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
An optical structure containing the ferrite defects and Fabry-Pérot cavity with a narrowband absorption feature and a sensing performance is proposed and modeled in theoretical scope. These two features appear alternately on adjacent frequency ranges with modulation of the coherent perfect absorption by altering the phase difference between the two coherent incident lights. For the absorption band, the relative bandwidth reaches 9.7%. Benefiting from the modulation of the magnetic field applied in the ferrite layers, the quality value of the absorption peak is 494.85, which indicates the potential for use as a sensor. There are highly linear relationships between the refractive index values of dielectric layers and the spike absorption frequencies. The accurate analysis of the RI from 2.7 to 3.4 can be realized. The sensitivity and the average detection limit are 1.287 THz R−1IU−1 and 7.46 × 10−4 RIU. The figure of merit is up to 83.03 RIU−1. Similarly, the structure is also competent to detect RI of another kind of dielectric layer from 2.2 to 2.85. The corresponding parameters are 1.241 THz RIU−1, 7.12 × 10−4 RIU, and 77.53 RIU−1, respectively. Meanwhile, the effects of the incident angle and machining inaccuracies are also discussed.

Abstract
The polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be used to search for parity-violating processes like that predicted by a Chern-Simons coupling to a light pseudoscalar field. Such an interaction rotates E modes into E modes in the observed CMB signal through an effect known as cosmic birefringence. Even though isotropic birefringence can be confused with the rotation produced by a miscalibration of the detectors' polarization angles, the degeneracy between both effects is broken when Galactic foreground emission is used as a calibrator. In this work, we use realistic simulations of the High-Frequency Instrument of the Planck mission to test the impact that Galactic foreground emission and instrumental systematics have on the recent birefringence measurements obtained through this technique. Our results demonstrate the robustness of the methodology against the miscalibration of polarization angles and other systematic effects, like intensity-to-polarization leakage, beam leakage, or cross-polarization effects. However, our estimator is sensitive to the EB correlation of polarized foreground emission. Here we propose to correct the bias induced by dust EB by modeling the foreground signal with templates produced in Bayesian component-separation analyses that fit parametric models to CMB data. Acknowledging the limitations of currently available dust templates like that of the Commander sky model, high-precision CMB data and a characterization of dust beyond the modified blackbody paradigm are needed to obtain a definitive measurement of cosmic birefringence in the future.

Abstract
The increase of neutron flux in pulsed spallation neutron
facilities imposes demands on the neutron detector for beam
monitoring, including excellent neutron/gamma discrimination, wide
dynamic neutron-flux measurement range, wavelength resolution, and
long-term stability. In this paper, we developed a ceramic GEM-based
(gas electron multiplier) neutron detector with an active area of
100 mm × 100 mm. It adopted a thinner conversion
material and the stopping layer to lower the detection efficiency so
as to extend the dynamic measurement range of the detector. The
detection efficiency of this detector was investigated by the Monte
Carlo (MC) tool FLUKA, showing that the low efficiency around 0.01%
for 1 Åneutrons was reached by using a 0.1 μm
natB4C converter appended with an aluminum film of
2 μm thickness. Its validation of the wavelength spectra
measurement was verified by comparisons with that made with an LND
monitor, and it could work at the condition of
7.1 × 109 n/s for 2.5 Åneutrons. In addition, it was
demonstrated that this detector was able to measure the beam profile
with a position resolution of better than 2.1 ± 0.1 mm. The
results of simulations and experiments show that this ceramic-GEM
neutron detector can meet the requirements of the direct measurement
of high-flux beam, and it will be a new neutron detector for the
beam monitoring at the China spallation neutron source (CSNS).
Recent advances in the development of flexible dye-sensitized solar cells: fabrication, challenges and applications-a review
Authors: Dawo Chandan , Chaturvedi Harsh 
Published: January 2023

AbstractFlexible dye-sensitized solar cells (FDSSCs) show a huge potential for stretchable electronics and portable power sources due to their lightweight, handy, flexibility, cost-effective, and easy processing. This paper introduces basic operating principles and design opportunities for maximum efficiencies for FDSSCs. Flexible polymers or metal substrates, enabling cost reduction due to large volume production with roll to roll manufacturing technique. DSSCs achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.30% on rigid conductive substrates, 10.28% on flexible metal substrates, and 8% on plastic substrates. A brief distinction has been made on different substrates, preparation of charge transfers materials, coating and printing techniques and processing methods for enhancing the performance of FDSSCs. We also highlight issues pertaining to progress in the stability of devices and the commercialisation of FDSCs technologies will be explained.
The function of the gene loiP in transformation efficiency and outer membrane permeability change of Escherichia coli treated by Ca2+ ions

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The preparation of Escherichia coli competent cells by calcium chloride is a common method in molecular biology, but the mechanism is poorly understood. In a previous study, using transcriptomics and proteomics approaches, we found that the expression pattern of the gene loiP was upregulated by CaCl2. In order to investigate the function of the loiP gene in Ca2+- mediated formation of competent cells of E. coli DH5α, the loiP gene deletion strains were constructed by the lambda-derived Red homologous recombination technique. Then, the cell morphology, transformation efficiency, and cell membrane changes of the competent cells of the mutant strain were further explored. Compared with the wild-type E. coli DH5α, the mutant strains have no significant differences in the morphology, growth characteristics, and the permeability of the intracellular membrane. However, the transformation efficiencies of the mutant strains to plasmids of different sizes were significantly reduced, and the permeability of the outer membrane decreased by 2.94 times. These results indicate that the deletion of gene loiP may directly affect the transformation efficiency and outer membrane permeability of E. coli competent cells.
Motivational Interviewing With Couples
Authors: Starks Tyrel J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis text outlines the principles, processes, and practice of Motivational Interviewing with couples derived by Dr. Starks through his research over the past decade. Informed by interdependence theory, the approach positions the couple as the client. Relationship functioning—the degree to which partners are satisfied with, committed to, and invested in their relationship—serves as a mechanism of behavior change. It catalyzes relationship partners’ willingness to make sacrifices or compromise around the formation of shared goals and support one another in their accomplishment. The text outlines the application of Motivational Interviewing Spirit and existing Motivational Interviewing processes and techniques with couples. It also introduces the novel process of facilitating dyadic functioning as well as strategies and techniques unique to Motivational Interviewing with couples. In doing so, the text situates couples Motivational Interviewing practice in the larger context of research on dyadic coping, relationship functioning, couples communication, and couples therapy. The past decade and a half have seen an expansion in research on the health of partnered sexual and gender minority people—in particular substance use and sexual health among sexual minority men. The formative work that guided the development of this text is grounded in this tradition. Case examples therefore illustrate the practice of couples Motivational Interviewing in this context, and special issues related to addressing sex and sexual satisfaction in the context of Motivational Interviewing are also discussed.
Gas metallicity distributions in SDSS-IV MaNGA galaxies: what drives gradients and local trends?
Authors: Boardman N , Wild V , Heckman T , Sanchez S F , Riffel R , Riffel R A , Zasowski G 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTThe gas metallicity distributions across individual galaxies and across galaxy samples can teach us much about how galaxies evolve. Massive galaxies typically possess negative metallicity gradients, and mass and metallicity are tightly correlated on local scales over a wide range of galaxy masses; however, the precise origins of such trends remain elusive. Here, we employ data from SDSS-IV MaNGA to explore how gas metallicity depends on the local stellar mass density and on galactocentric radius within individual galaxies. We also consider how the strengths of these dependencies vary across the galaxy mass-size plane. We find that radius is more predictive of local metallicity than stellar mass density in extended lower-mass galaxies, while we find density and radius to be almost equally predictive in higher-mass and more compact galaxies. Consistent with previous work, we find a mild connection between metallicity gradients and large-scale environment; however, this is insufficient to explain variations in gas metallicity behaviour across the mass-size plane. We argue our results to be consistent with a scenario in which extended galaxies have experienced smooth gas accretion histories, producing negative metallicity gradients over time. We further argue that more compact and more massive systems have experienced increased merging activity that disrupts this process, leading to flatter metallicity gradients and more dominant density-metallicity correlations within individual galaxies.
Reception of Vatican II in Europe
Authors: Lamberigts Mathijs 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Vatican II, often described as a European council, created huge expectations among European faithful, at least in the West. In Central and Eastern Europe, where many countries remained behind the Iron Curtain, the reception of Vatican II had to wait until the fall of communism. The council concluded at a moment when secularization was affecting Western European societies. Moreover, the second half of the 1960s was characterized by anti-authoritarian movements, causing unrest, if not crisis, in Roman Catholic central offices. A clash between local European churches and these central offices emerged on several levels: in resistance to local initiatives for religious formation, for the promotion of interaction between priests and faithful, and for the renewal of liturgical life. Central directives were rejected by local communities, resulting in polarization. Crises in episcopal collegiality, priesthood, and the role of women in the Church can also be seen as stemming from the conflicts between centre and periphery. The decline of religious and ordained vocations led the lay faithful to assume new responsibilities in liturgy, health care, education, and social commitment. This chapter argues that in responding to a crisis, Vatican II and its reception encountered many challenges unforeseen by the council fathers.
Other Sources for the Study of Vatican II
Authors: Ruozzi Federico 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This article explores the impact of media (television, radio, newspapers and reviews, press conferences, and correspondence) on the Second Vatican Council. For the first time, a council was convoked in the age of modern mass media, which, as it turned out, provided relevant sources for interpreting the event itself. The mass media attention created an unexpected relationship of centripetal and centrifugal forces. On the one hand, from internal to external: the media conveyed more information about conciliar events and about what happened inside than had ever been done before, as shown by council fathers’ personal diaries. On the other hand, from external to internal: the media influenced the council fathers themselves and their own discussions. In fact, Vatican II was not only the first in the Church’s history to unfold before radio microphones and in the spotlight of national and international TV and film cameras, it was also the first to receive almost total, simultaneous coverage for the whole period, thus giving the meeting a new and unique format in terms of information and participation.
The Unique Character of Vatican II’s Teaching
Authors: Hünermann Peter 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Since the end of Vatican II, there has been an ongoing battle on the normativity of this council, the interpretation of its texts, and its peculiar character. This chapter explores the qualitative uniqueness of the council reflected in the events and the documents it produced, from the papal invitation and throughout all the sessions. It argues that Immanuel Kant and his notions of transcendental logic and of the related transcendental form of reflection provide a way to understand the council’s peculiar character and uniqueness and to demonstrate how the epistemological presuppositions of Vatican II are not to be confused with those of Vatican I.
Riemann–Roch theorems in monoidal 2-categories
Authors: Campbell Jonathan A , Ponto  Kate 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Smooth and proper dg-algebras have an Euler class valued in the Hochschild homology of the algebra. This Euler class is worthy of this name since it satisfies many familiar properties including compatibility with the pairing on the Hochschild homology of the algebra and that of its opposite. This compatibility is the Riemann–Roch theorems of [21, 14]. In this paper, we prove a broad generalization of these Riemann–Roch theorems. We generalize from the bicategory of dg-algebras and their bimodules to symmetric monoidal bicategories and from the Euler class to traces of non-identity maps. Our generalization also implies spectral Riemann–Roch theorems. We regard this result as an instantiation of a 2-dimensional generalized cobordism hypothesis. This perspective draws the result close to many others that generalize results about Euler characteristics and classes to bicategorical traces.
Sudden anisocoria in a healing pediatric multitrauma patient
Authors: Harper David Shane , Bayless Sarah 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
This article describes a teenager who developed anisocoria with no obvious neurologic deficits or decline after a motor vehicle accident. The condition resolved over several hours before reappearing in the opposite eye 2 days later. Again no clinical neurologic deficits were noted and the condition resolved after several hours. The patient's asymptomatic anisocoria was finally determined to be secondary to aerosolized ipratropium treatments and an ill-fitting mask.
Well-being and the early-career PA
Authors: Bernard Kari Sue 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective:
Recent updates to physician associate/assistant (PA) laws reflect less mandated supervision. Although greater autonomy may inspire experienced PAs, newer PAs may struggle with less required oversight. This study examined the influence of autonomy, career length, and the quality of the collaborative physician (CP) relationship on PA well-being.

Methods:
A secondary analysis of data gathered in 2018 by the American Academy of Physician Associates was conducted using bivariate and multiple linear regression with moderated mediation.

Results:
Years of experience positively predicted PA well-being and negatively predicted the percentage of time spent consulting with a CP. The interaction of the percentage of time spent consulting with a CP and the quality of the CP relationship mediated the relationship between years of experience and well-being.

Conclusions:
Findings demonstrate that the quality of the CP relationship is most salient to the well-being of early-career PAs who spend more time in consultation with CPs.

Published: January 2023

Abstract:
The 21st Century Cures Act to address the opioid crisis spurred the expansion of the peer support specialist (PSS) workforce. Nurses are in key positions to promote the successful integration of the PSS into the healthcare team. This article describes the role of the PSS, including key functions that overlap with those of nurses and ways they can help mitigate stigma, which remains a significant barrier to patients' access to treatment.
Errors in medicine: punishment versus learning medical adverse events revisited – expanding the frame
Authors: Brattebø Guttorm , Flaatten Hans Kristian 
Published: January 2023

Purpose of review
Despite healthcare workers’ best intentions, some patients will suffer harm and even death during their journey through the healthcare system. This represents a major challenge, and many solutions have been proposed during the last decades. How to reduce risk and use adverse events for improvement?

Recent findings
The concept of safety culture must be acknowledged and understood for moving from blame to learning. Procedural protocols and reports are only parts of the solution, and this overview paints a broader picture, referring to recent research on the nature of adverse events. The potential harm from advice based on faulty evidence represents a serious risk.

Summary
Focus must shift from an individual perspective to the system, promoting learning rather than punishment and disciplinary sanctions, and the recent opioid epidemic is an example of bad guidelines.
