Abstract
The physical, chemical and biological properties of wood depend on the supramolecular assembly of cellulose microfibrils (CMFs), hemicelluloses (HCs) and lignin in the growing cell walls. Based on the 13C-tracer studies of ginkgo xylem formation, a hypothetical scenario for the role of monolignol glucosides (MLGs) in the assembly is proposed as follows: (1) Both moieties, aglycone monolignols and glycone d-glucose (d-Glc), play essential roles in a cooperative manner in delivery of hydrophobic and highly reactive p-hydroxycinnamyl- (H), coniferyl- (G) alcohols to the hydrophilic site of lignin deposition. (2) The d-Glc liberated at lignification site is converted into essential HCs mainly via Golgi apparatus under the influence of diurnally changing turgor pressure, and partly converted in the apoplast. (3) At cell corner middle lamella, a pressure-resistant layer of HG-lignin-HCs-CMFs is formed, and allows expansion of new cells in cambium region by elevation of turgor pressure. The deformable G-lignin-HCs-CMFs layer at secondary wall shrinks by dehydration of the swollen gel of HCs-CMFs during differentiation, and contributes posture control of standing tree. On-demand quick supply of a large amount of monolignols and HCs can be achieved by the large storage and delivery of MLGs in the growing ginkgo xylem.

Abstract
In case-control studies, odds ratios (OR) are calculated from 2 × 2 tables and in some instances, we observe small cell counts or zero counts in one of the cells. The corrections to calculate the ORs in the presence of empty cells are available in literature. Some of these include Yates continuity correction and Agresti and Coull correction. However, the available methods provided different corrections and the situations where each could be applied are not very apparent. Therefore, the current research proposes an iterative algorithm of estimating an exact (optimum) correction factor for the respective sample size. This was evaluated by simulating data with varying proportions and sample sizes. The estimated correction factor was considered after obtaining the bias, standard error of odds ratio, root mean square error and the coverage probability. Also, we have presented a linear function to identify the exact correction factor using sample size and proportion.
The care of the magic of life before and after its beginning
Authors: Martínez Jorge César 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Journal of Perinatal Medicine helps me a lot to understand how impacted in my work as Neonatologist the crucial importance of permanently think on prenatal development and postnatal experiences of the newborn we are caring, and how the parents live the moment. We should produce High Technology but at the same time seriously consider High Prenatal life Advances. Possibly no other field of medicine has undergone such dramatic progress in reducing mortality and morbidity as the care of preterm newborns. In recent years, remarkable advances in the care of pregnant women and their babies have led to an increase in infant survival. However, advances in neonatal care need to be accompanied by mechanisms that help us deliver care safely to this most vulnerable population. Great progress has been made in perinatal care, but the health-care system must do much more. The health-care system faces a great challenge, the era of reflection between real progress and innovations. It means: Seriously consider what we are really doing and what we should really do.

Abstract
The method of brackets is a symbolic approach to the computation of integrals over

R

{{\mathbb{R}}}^{n}

based on a deep result by Ramanujan. Its usefulness to obtain new and difficult integrals has been demonstrated many times in the last few years. This article shows that this method is consistent with most classical rules for the computation of integrals, such as the fundamental theorem of calculus, the Laplace transform, the reduction formula for the integration of functions with spherical symmetry, the Cauchy-Schlömilch transformation, and explicit evaluations for multivariate integrals of product of Bessel functions as obtained by Exton and Srivastava. This work is part of a program dedicated to the derivation of solid theoretical grounds for the use of this attractive integration method.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In most rotational Doppler effect (RDE) measurements, the optical axis and the rotating axis of the object are required to be aligned. However, the condition is very difficult to achieve in practical applications of rotation detection, which seriously affects the received signal. Moreover, it is necessary to focus the beam on the rotating axis of a rotating surface in applications ranging from manufacturing to physical experiments. For example, the manufacture of diffraction optical elements requires aligning the beam to the rotating axis of the spindle. Therefore, how to determine the azimuth of the rotating axis has become an urgent problem to be solved. Based on a new type of superposed vortex beam with multiple topological charges (TCs), we report a new scheme for determining the position of rotating axis by only single RDE measurement, which greatly improves the measurement efficiency. According to the mode decomposition and conservation of angular momentum and energy, we reveal the RDE mechanism of the new structured beam named spliced superposed optical vortex (SSOV) and explain why the SSOV with asymmetrical defect is sensitive to the rotating axis of the object. In addition, in order to prove the effectiveness of the method, a proof-of-concept experiment is conducted to detect the position of object’s rotating axis in eight azimuth ranges, i.e., [iπ/4, (i + 1)π/4](i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). The idea of breaking the symmetry of the optical vortex (OV) and adding additional parameters in this study may have great potential for applications in optical manipulation and communication. Finally, considering that the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode purity and quality of the incomplete OV and the SSOV will decrease during the far-field propagation, a new method for pre-correction of SSOV is proposed in this research, which overcomes the effects caused by Gouy phase shift and diffraction to some extent. Combined with inertial navigation, these methods above can also be applied to remote sensing, manufacturing, and physics experiments.

Abstract
The diverse sources of agricultural extension information do not guarantee increased farmers’ capabilities to adopt agricultural innovations. Consequently, efforts to accelerate the adoption of agricultural innovations should pay particular attention to farmers’ compatibility with different information sources. This study aims to analyze farmers’ perceptions of various information sources about rice commodity innovations and determine the information sources influencing farmers’ capabilities in adopting rice innovations. The study was conducted from June to December 2019 through a structured survey approach with 270 rice farmers in Subang, West Java and Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia, by using structural equation model analysis. The results showed that rice farmers had positive perceptions of government, private, and self-subsistent extension. The capability level of rice farmers showed that all indicators were significantly different. Farmers could improve their capabilities and sustainability of rice farming by adopting agricultural innovations. Information from government and private extension providers had a positive effect on the capacity and capability of rice farmers. The role of self-subsistent extension was more of a facilitator and did not directly affect the capacity and capability of farmers. Participatory extension activities are recommended as a form of intervention that can improve rice farmers’ capacity and capability in terms of technology adoption processes. The extension activities should be provided as a series, rather than one-off events, so that farmer knowledge accumulates over time through a style and pace to match their skills and level of education.
Control of chirality inversion kinetics of triple-helical metallocryptands
Authors: Akine Shigehisa 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Dynamic helical molecules, which can undergo a reversible chirality inversion between the P and M forms, are useful as a platform for switchable chiral functional molecules. The chirality inversion of these molecules has been extensively studied. However, it has mostly been discussed from the viewpoint of the equilibrated P/M ratios before and after the inversion; control of the response speeds or kinetic profiles has rarely been explored. In order to construct helical structures with controllable kinetic profiles, triple-helical metallocryptands, LM3, have been designed and synthesized. These molecules can undergo a relatively slow dynamic P/M chirality inversion (helicity inversion) to produce an equilibrated mixture. The P/M equilibration was accelerated or decelerated based on the following two strategies. One is based on the guest binding in the cryptand cavity. The P/M racemization kinetics of LNi3 was significantly decelerated by recognition of guanidinium ion in the cavity. The other strategy is based on the ligand exchange reactions at the octahedral cobalt(III) centers in LCo3(amine)6. The P/M chirality inversion speeds were controlled by changing the initial and entering amine ligands. In addition, a unique transient chirality inversion behavior was observed when chiral amine ligands were removed from the metallocryptand by the ligand exchange reaction with piperidine.

Abstract
The article introduces a novel strategy for efficiently mitigating COVID-19 distribution at the local level due to contact with any surfaces. Our project aims to be a critical safety shield for the general people in the fight against the epidemic. An ultrasonic sensor is integrated with the automated doorbell system to ring the doorbell with a hand motion. A temperature sensor Mlx90614 is also included in the system, which records the temperature of the person standing in front of the door. The device also includes a camera module that captures the image of the person standing at the front entrance. The captured image is processed through an ML model which runs at over 30 fps to detect whether or not the person is wearing a mask. The image and the temperature of the person standing outside are sent to the owner through the configured iOS application. If the person outside is wearing a mask, one can open the door through the app itself and permit the entry of the person standing outside thereby integrating the edge device with an app for a better user experience. The system helps in reducing physical contact, and the results obtained are at par with the already existing solutions and provide a few advantages over them.
On the Marionette Theater by Heinrich von Kleist. In Other Words: The Impossibility of Man’s Salvation through Technology
Authors: Puppo Federico 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present some thought on Heinrich von Kleist’s Marionettentheatre-Essay, a very strange dialogue in which the German author reflects on grace and the destiny of mankind. After a brief introduction, I will discuss Kleist’s philosophical background by mentioning influences by Rousseau and Kant in order to show why he lost hope and faith and why, at a certain point, he changed his mind in favor of nihilism. The dilemmatic situation presented in his Marionettentheatre-Essay is the result of this evolution of thought, in which man is depicted with his desire to search for Heaven but damned to live his life by knowing that it is impossible to gain grace again. We exist in a place between the earth and the sky, where a purely material world or God, or even technology cannot save us.
The consequences of removing fluorinated compounds from rigid contact lenses
Authors: Eddleston Mark D. , Raduly Levente , Tapper Tristan T. , Hughes Reece J. , Browne Gareth M. , Conway Martin J. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Fluorine free analogues of three commercially available rigid contact lens materials were prepared by replacing the fluorinated component, hexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate (HFPM), with the widely used, non-fluorinated monomers methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 3-methacryloxypropyltris-(trimethylsiloxy)silane (TRIS). The properties of the commercial materials and analogues were measured and compared. The oxygen permeabilities of the MMA analogues were found to be significantly lower than those of the commercial materials, decreasing by 87 % on average, while the TRIS analogues lacked sufficient hardness, dimensional stability and lipid deposit resistance to be viable for use in rigid contact lenses. Analogues prepared using a 1:1 mixture of MMA and TRIS had the best overall combination of properties, but were still on average 47 % less permeable to oxygen and also significantly less resistant to lipid deposition. The analogues prepared in this study did not adequately replicate the performance of marketed, fluorine containing rigid contact lens materials. These observations give an indication of the challenges that would face contact lens material manufacturers in preparing rigid lens polymers without the use of fluorinated species. A reduction in effectiveness would be almost inevitable, and would be expected to have a negative impact on the safety and eye health of rigid contact lens patients.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Inorganic metal oxide ZnO in the form of nano particles can change the way diseases are diagnosed and treated. ZnO Nps are selective in targeting cancer cells and due to its nano size can enter into cells and destroy it. Drugs, fluorescent agents (for imaging), targeting agents (to target diseased cells only) etc. be loaded on ZnO Nps to deliver drugs selectively in a controlled manner to specific site. ZnO Nps is non toxic as declared by medical community and hence can replace the inaccuracy and harmful side effects of conventional medicine in bulk form. In this review we have discussed about the preparation and characterization of ZnO Nps. Later part concentrated on applications in various fields including biomedical field.
Wertschätzung und WahrheitEine Studie zur gewaltvollen Kommunikation in der Wissenschaft

Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungWir begründen in unserem Beitrag die These, dass die Art des Kommunizierens wichtigen Einfluss auf das Prozessieren der Funktionssysteme nehmen kann. Wir orientieren uns hierbei an der Unterscheidung wertschätzender//gewaltvoller Kommunikation. Der Argumentationsgang erfolgt in folgenden Schritten: Wir beginnen mit einer Diskussion der Unterscheidung von Handlung und Kommunikation. Im Ergebnis räumen wir den psychischen Systemen einen höheren Stellenwert im Kommunikationsprozess ein als dies bei Luhmanns Kommunikationsmodell der Fall ist. Eine Folge hiervon ist eine erhöhte Relevanz der Sprache und ihrer Vagheit. Zur Erhöhung der Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit wird Empathie als Kommunikationsmedium vorgeschlagen. Mit diesen Modifikationen demonstrieren wir exemplifizierend an einem Fallbeispiel die Konsequenzen gewaltvoller Kommunikation in der Wissenschaft.
Flow structure comparison of film cooling versus hybrid cooling: a CFD study
Authors: Panda Rajesh Kumar , Pujari Arun Kumar , Gudla Babji 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Film and jet impingement cooling are widely used techniques in gas turbine vane and blade cooling. The present work investigates and compares the flow structure of a film-cooled flat plate with a hybrid cooling scheme. The hybrid cooling scheme combines both impingement hole and film holes and is named combined impingement-film (IFC) cooling. Experimental validation and computational analyses are carried out on a flat plate with film holes. Different flow parameters, such as velocity pattern, Turbulent kinetic energy, and streamline flow structure, are compared for the two cases in different regions of the flat plate. It is observed that the hybrid scheme shows advantages over film cooling. The jet-to-jet interaction, jet crossflow interaction, and vortex formation are the main factors affecting film cooling performance. There is a 52 % drop in turbulent kinetic energy for the hybrid cooling compared to the film cooling at the film hole exit. More mixing in the coolant and mainstream interaction is observed for the FC case than in the IFC.
Der Mitverschuldenseinwand des Abschlussprüfers – Eine historische, rechtsvergleichende und ökonomische Analyse
Authors: Thomale Chris 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Die Haftungsverantwortung des Abschlussprüfers für fehlerhafte Finanzberichterstattung bildet einen Grundpfeiler des gesellschaftsrechtlichen Informationsmodells. Dadurch wird sie zugleich zum Seismografen tektonischer Spannungen im Wirtschaftssystem insgesamt, wie insbesondere die weltweiten Bilanzskandale der letzten Jahre belegen. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich dem Mitverschuldenseinwand des Abschlussprüfers, also der Frage, ob und mit welcher Rechtsfolge er gegenüber der eigenen Verschuldenshaftung Sorgfaltswidrigkeiten der Prüfklientin einwenden kann. Eine historisch-rechtsvergleichende Rekonstruktion der dogmatischen Figuren ‚Abschlussprüferhaftung‘ und ‚Mitverschuldenseinwand‘ bietet dabei die Folie für eine ökonomische Analyse. Danach erweist sich eine Schadensteilung zwischen Abschlussprüfer und Prüfklientin als vorzugswürdig, die sich proportional zum pflichtwidrig unterlassenen Vorsorgeaufwand verhält. Gleichzeitig bietet diese sonderprivatrechtliche Studie die Grundlage für eine fundamentale Neuorientierung des Mitverschuldenseinwands überhaupt: Dessen klassisch-naturrechtliche Ausrichtung an der Idee proportionalen Verschuldens ex post erlaubt keine kohärenten Maßstäbe der Schadensteilung. Deshalb sollten der Mitverschuldenseinwand und die in seinem Sinne vollzogene Schadensteilung konsequent an den durch sie ex ante erzielten Handlungsanreizen orientiert werden.
Green’s function analysis of the neutron Lloyd interferometer
Authors: Käding Christian , Pitschmann Mario , Abele Hartmut 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The neutron optical Lloyd interferometer can serve as a potent experiment for probing fundamental physics beyond the standard models of particles and cosmology. In this article, we provide a full Green’s function analysis of a Lloyd interferometer in the limit that the reflecting mirror extends to the screen. We consider two distinct situations: first, we will review the theoretical case of no external fields being present. Subsequently, we will analyze the case in which a gravitational field is acting on the neutrons. The latter case provides the theory necessary for using a Lloyd interferometer as a probe of gravitational fields.

Impact of a Remote Virtual Reality Curriculum Pilot on Clinician Conflict Communication Skills
Authors: Herrmann Lisa E. , Elliott Laura E. , Sucharew Heidi , Jerardi Karen , Zackoff Matthew W. , Klein Melissa , Real Francis J. 
Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVES
Conflict management skills are essential for interprofessional team functioning, however existing trainings are time and resource intensive. We hypothesized that a curriculum incorporating virtual reality (VR) simulations would enhance providers’ interprofessional conflict communication skills and increase self-efficacy.

METHODS
We conducted a randomized controlled pilot study of the Conflict Instruction through Virtual Immersive Cases (CIVIC) curriculum among inpatient clinicians at a pediatric satellite campus. Participants viewed a 30-minute didactic presentation on conflict management and subsequently completed CIVIC (intervention group) or an alternative VR curriculum on vaccine counseling (control group), both of which allowed for verbal interactions with screen-based avatars. Three months following VR training, all clinicians participated in a unique VR simulation focused on conflict management that was recorded and scored using a rubric of observable conflict management behaviors and a Global Entrustment Scale (GES). Differences between groups were evaluated using generalized linear models. Self-efficacy was also assessed immediately pre, post, and 3 months postcurriculum. Differences within and between groups were assessed with paired independent and 2-sample t-tests, respectively.

RESULTS
Forty of 51 participants (78%) completed this study. The intervention group (n = 17) demonstrated better performance on the GES (P = .003) and specific evidence-based conflict management behaviors, including summarizing team member’s concerns (P = .02) and checking for acceptance of the plan (P = .02), as well as statistical improvements in 5 self-efficacy measures compared with controls.

CONCLUSIONS
Participants exposed to CIVIC demonstrated enhanced conflict communication skills and reported increased self-efficacy compared with controls. VR may be an effective method of conflict communication training.
