AbstractMediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts are rare complications of pancreatitis associated with alcohol consumption. Here, we report a case of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst. A 61‐year‐old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with epigastric pain and dyspnea. A chest radiograph revealed right‐sided massive pleural effusion. Thoracentesis retrieved black pleural fluid with remarkably high fluid amylase levels were. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) after drainage revealed encapsulated fluid. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were performed because abdominal CT and ultrasonography did not reveal any pancreatic problems. MRCP showed cystic masses and pancreatic tail cysts extending to the stomach and lower oesophagus. ERCP confirmed leakage of contrast medium from the pancreatic tail into the retroperitoneum. We diagnosed the patient with a pancreatic pseudocyst extending to the mediastinum. A mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with black pleural fluid with a high amylase level.
Digital Edible Literacies: Ephemeral and Highly Affective
Authors: Kucirkova Natalia 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDigital edible literacies (DEL) are a new media phenomenon that has recently surfaced in social media but has not been examined in scholarly literature before. I exemplify the entanglements of food, media, and children's stories in three DEL exemplars shared on a private blog, Instagram, and connected Meta channels. Drawing on a genre analysis, I position DEL within affective theories and connect them to the concept of ephemeral and material affect. I argue that the ephemeral materiality of DEL expands children's literacies with new temporal relationships that exemplify the sensory dimensions of affect in literacy. This theoretical expansion is important to facilitate understandings of the complex affective qualities of new literacy ecologies.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe straightforward grinding of terminal alkynes and ketones/isatin in the presence of base, without the use of any catalyst or a solvent, appears to be a viable method for producing tertiary propargylic alcohols. This energy and time‐efficient rapid reaction opens up a greener pathway for the synthesis of propargylic alcohols with moderate to good yields as compared to contemporary methodologies.

AbstractDrought and water scarcity are two of the world's major problems. Solar‐powered sorption‐based atmospheric water harvesting technology is a promising solution in this category. The main challenge is to design materials with high water harvesting performance while achieving fast water vapor adsorption/desorption rates. Here, a superhydrophilic photothermic hollow nanocapsule (SPHN) is represented that achieves efficient atmospheric water harvesting in outdoor climates. In SPHN, the hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) is grafted with polypyrrole (PPy) and also loaded with lithium chloride (LiCl). The hollow structure is used to store water while preventing leakage. The hydrophilic spherical nanocapsule and the trapped water produce more free and weakly adsorbed water. Significantly lower the heat of desorption compared to pure LiCl solution. Such SPHN significantly improves the adsorption/desorption kinetics, e.g., absorbs 0.78–2.01 g of water per gram of SPHN at 25 °C, relative humidity (RH) 30−80% within 3 h. In particular, SPHN has excellent photothermal properties to achieve rapid water release under natural sunlight conditions, i.e., 80−90% of water is released in 1 h at 0.7–1.0 kW m−2 solar irradiation, and 50% of water is released even at solar irradiation as low as 0.4 kW m−2. The water collection capacity can reach 1.2 g g−1 per cycle by using the self‐made atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) device. This finding provides a way to design novel materials for efficient water harvesting tasks, e.g., water engineering, freshwater generator, etc.
Carboxyl‐Substituted Organic Molecule Assembled with MXene Nanosheets for Boosting Aqueous Na+ Storage

Published: July 2023

AbstractAqueous alkali‐ion batteries have enormous promise as a kind of safe, reliable, and sustainable energy technologies for power supplies. Although organic molecules with tunable and diverse configurations are potential electroactive materials, their inadequate redox activity and electron affinity hinder the practical application for aqueous alkali‐ion storage. Herein, a novel electron‐withdrawing carboxyl‐substituted dipyridophenazine (CDPPZ) organic molecule is designed and synthesized for aqueous Na+ storage. Significantly, the introduction of carboxyl functional groups not only serves as additional redox‐active sites for reversible Na+ coordination, but also causes the rearrangement of intramolecular electron cloud density to reduce the energy level, thereby ensuring the high redox activity and superior electron affinity of the CDPPZ molecule. For portable electronics, a self‐supporting, adhesive‐free, and flexible CDPPZ@MXene electrode is further constructed by incorporating highly redox‐active CDPPZ molecule with MXene nanosheets, which delivers a fast, stable, and unrivaled aqueous Na+ storage capability with a high reversible capacity of 172.6 mAh cm−3 and excellent redox stability over 4000 cycles. In situ dynamic analysis combined with theoretical calculations illustrates the Na+ storage mechanism and corresponding coordinated pathway. Finally, a high‐performance flexible aqueous Na‐ion battery is fabricated with exceptional energy/power density and remarkable cycling lifespan, further confirming its promising application prospect.
New insights into the sea spider fauna (Arthropoda, Pycnogonida) of La Voulte‐sur‐Rhône, France (Jurassic, Callovian)
Authors: Sabroux Romain , Edgecombe Gregory D. , Pisani Davide , Garwood Russell J. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThree species of sea spider (Arthropoda, Pycnogonida) have been described from the Middle Jurassic (Callovian) Konservat‐Lagerstätte of La Voulte‐sur‐Rhône: Palaeopycnogonides gracilis, Colossopantopodus boissinensis and Palaeoendeis elmii. These fossils were initially attributed to three extant families or superfamilies, justifying their use as calibration points in a recent tree‐dating analysis. However, their taxonomic affinities are still debated. Our knowledge of the morphology of these Jurassic sea spiders is limited by prior investigation with only light microscopy and radiographs, such that further morphological details such as cephalic appendages (chelifores, palps, ovigers) remain poorly documented. Here, we reinvestigate the La Voulte‐sur‐Rhône fossils using x‐ray microtomography and reflectance transformation imaging. A new specimen, tentatively attributed to P. gracilis, was found using x‐ray microtomography, while another fossil initially interpreted as Palaeoendeis elmii may also be related to this species. We attribute all fossils to Pantopoda, crown‐group Pycnogonida. Palaeopycnogonides gracilis had ovigers in at least one sex and had chelifores and palps that were either reduced or absent. Together, the cephalic appendage set and the structure of the ovigers are unique among Pantopoda, and this species is reassigned to the new family Palaeopycnogonididae. Colossopantopodus boissinensis lacked chelifores but had palps and ovigers, the latter with the typical structure shown by extant Colossendeinae, to which we attribute the fossil. The absence of chelifores and palps in Palaeoendeis elmii and the structure of its ovigers indicate affinities with Endeidae. The impact of these new taxonomic assignments on the way Jurassic sea spiders can be used as fossil calibrations is discussed.
Secondary right atrial thrombosis in three dogs: Antithrombotics therapy and echocardiographic follow‐up

Published: July 2023

AbstractThree dogs were diagnosed with right atrial thrombosis, thought to be secondary to systemic diseases. Specifically, two cases had hyperadrenocorticism and one case was diagnosed with pancreatitis with acute renal injury. In all cases, the thrombi were found within the right atrium, necessitating a differentiation from cardiac neoplasia. In all three cases, the structures assumed to be thrombi had irregular margins with interspersed hypoechoic regions, which were later confirmed as thrombi based on the responsiveness to therapy. All three cases were prescribed with the combination of clopidogrel and rivaroxaban.The thrombi gradually disappeared after initiation of the combination therapy. Complete resolution of right atrial thrombosis was noted in each dog treated with clopidogrel and rivaroxaban. This combination therapy appears to be safe and well tolerated. Diligent observation of the echocardiographic findings and clinical course allows the diagnosis of thrombosis.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to build and evaluate a laboratory stand for testing MV switchgears using VR technology in the power industry. In the course of work, an exemplary program of operation of the application created by PRADMA was developed. The developed program was designed to effectively introduce the application user to the basic information about moving the virtual avatar, interacting with the prepared elements, and to provide information on the construction of the MV switchgear and its components. In order to confirm the advantages of VR technology and the quality of the developed VR application program, tests of the VR application were carried out with the help of students of the Warsaw University of Technology. The results of the evaluation questionnaire created for the purposes of the tests were used to develop conclusions regarding the use of VR in the power industry. The evaluation questionnaire questions related to key issues such as the quality of the mapped virtual elements, the level of realism preserved in the virtual environment, the effectiveness of the developed program or the substantive values of the entire exercise. The summary contains the answer to the theses put forward in the paper regarding the profitability and usefulness of using VR applications in the power industry.
A Novel Process of Shoe Pairing Using Computer Vision and Deep Learning Methods
Authors: Kozłowski Marek , Buczkowski Przemyslaw , Brzezinski Piotr 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe industrialisation of the footwear recycling processes is a major issue in the European Union—particularly in view of the fact that at least 90% of shoes consumed in western economies are ultimately sent to landfill. This requires new AI-empowered technologies that enable detection, classification, pairing, and quality assessment in a viable automatic process. This article discusses automatic shoe pairing, which comprises two sequential stages: a) deep multiview shoe embedding (compact representation of multiview data); and b) clustering of shoes’ embeddings with a fixed similarity threshold to return sets of possible pairs. Each shoe in our pipeline is represented by multiple images that are collected in industrial darkrooms. We present various approaches to shoe pairing—from fully unsupervised ones based on image descriptors to supervised ones that rely on deep neural networks—to identify the most effective one for this highly specific industrial task. The article also explains how the selected method can be improved by hyperparameter tuning, massive increases in training data, and data augmentation.
Jenseits der Persuasion. Alternativen zum klassischen Modell
Authors: Till Dietmar 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungDieser Artikel setzt mit der klassischen Definition von Rhetorik als Kunst der Überzeugung ein und identifiziert in einem kurzen historischen Durchgang durch die Geschichte der Rhetorik alternative Modelle einer Rhetorik jenseits der Persuasion. Solche Konzeptionen sind schon in der klassischen Rhetorik zu finden, nämlich in der Theorie der epideiktischen Rede, in der frühneuzeitlichen Rhetorik und in ihrer Nachfolgedisziplin, der Ästhetik des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die Renaissance der Rhetorik im 20. Jahrhundert bezieht sich zunächst auf das klassische neoaristotelische Paradigma der Rhetorik als Überzeugung. In Richards und Burkes New Rhetoric wird dieses Modell kritisiert und überwunden. Amerikanische Forschung zur Rhetorik seit den 1960er-Jahren formuliert eine Vielfalt von Konzepten einer Rhetorik jenseits der Persuasion in Gegenüberstellung zur klassischen Rhetorik.
Rhetorik als Argumentationstheorie der römischen Juristen. Die antike Rhetorik im Spiegel der juristischen Romanistik
Authors: Babusiaux Ulrike 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungDie antike Rhetorik hat in der Forschung zum römischen Recht lange ein Schattendasein geführt: Da sich die Rechtswissenschaft von der Rhetorik, die als Redekunst missverstanden wurde, unterscheiden wollte, wurden auch die historisch engen Verbindungen beider Fächer in Frage gestellt. Vor allem dank der grundlegenden Arbeiten von Dieter Nörr (1931–2017) hat sich nunmehr die Erkenntnis durchgesetzt, dass die Lehren der antiken Rhetorik notwendige Voraussetzung sind, um die in den Digesten Justinians gesammelten Exzerpte aus den römischen Rechtsschriften in ihrer Eigenschaft als,Rechtsliteratur‘ zutreffend würdigen zu können. Neben einzelnen Werkanalysen, welche die rhetorische Prägung der römischen Juristen untersuchen, ist in diesem Zusammenhang vor allem das 2018 erschienene Werk Dario Mantovanis Les juristes écrivains zu nennen, das erstmalig die Rechtsproduktion durch Rechtsliteratur, die „littérarisation du droit“, genauer analysiert. Die rhetorischen Lehren sind dabei nicht nur in der Darstellung und Anordnung des Rechtsstoffes, sondern vor allem als Grundlage jeder (juristischen) Argumentationstheorie zu berücksichtigen.
Warum wir die Kināya brauchen. Rhetorik jenseits von Eurozentrismus
Authors: Bauer Thomas 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungBei dem Versuch, zu einer konsistenteren Theorie der Tropen zu gelangen, sieht man sich u. a. mit den folgenden beiden Schwierigkeiten konfrontiert: (1) Lässt sich die Metapher durchgängig als vergleichsbasiert analysieren (und wenn nicht, wie dann?), (2) Wie lässt sich die eher „unordentliche“ Metonymie klarer strukturieren? Die Standardtheorie der arabischen Rhetorik kann hier vielfach Hilfe schaffen. Insbesondere die Stilform der Kināya, die nicht-eigentliche, aber gleichzeitig nicht-übertragene Ausdrücke bezeichnet, erweist sich als schier unentbehrliches Analysewerkzeug.

On the LWE Cryptosystem with More General Disturbance
Authors: Zhiyong Zheng , Kun Tian 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe main purpose of this chapter is to give an extension on learning with errors problem (LWE)-based cryptosystem about the probability of decryption error with more general disturbance. In the first section, we introduce the LWE cryptosystem with its application and some previous research results. Then we give a more precise estimation probability of decryption error based on independent identical Gaussian disturbances and any general independent identical disturbances. This upper bound probability could be closed to 0 if we choose applicable parameters. It means that the probability of decryption error for the cryptosystem could be sufficiently small. So we verify our core result that the LWE-based cryptosystem could have high security.

ZusammenfassungDie Hebammen der Gebärabteilung am Universitätsspital Zürich bieten seit 2018 allen Wöchnerinnen ein telefonisches Nachgespräch an. Die Möglichkeit, rund 6 Wochen postpartum mit der Hebamme, die bei der Geburt anwesend war, ein Gespräch zu führen, wurde systematisch eingeführt. Die Gespräche werden basierend auf einem literaturgestützt entwickelten Leitfaden geführt und beinhalten Fragen zur Geburt und die Möglichkeit, Rückmeldungen zur erlebten Betreuung zu geben. Sie unterstützen die Verarbeitung der Geburt und dienen der Qualitätssicherung. Die hebammenwissenschaftliche Evaluation der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaft zeigte die Zufriedenheit der Frauen mit dem Angebot und die Wichtigkeit der Rückmeldungen zu den Geburtserlebnissen der Frauen für die betreuenden Hebammen. Die Gespräche runden die Betreuung in idealer Weise ab und haben sich trotz anfänglicher Herausforderungen mit der Implementierung etabliert.
Yielding and post-yielding behavior of FDM parts under compression stress at different strain rates
Authors: Scipioni Silvia Ilaria , Lambiase Francesco 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe present study investigates the compression behavior of components made by material extrusion, also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modeling (FDM). An experimental plan was conducted by adopting a high-density fulfillment and varying the material flow. Additional tests were performed by thermomechanical compaction to produce full-density samples. Compression tests were performed at various strain rates ranging between 5 × 10−4 and 5 × 10−1 s−1. Yielding and post-yielding behaviors were analyzed. Morphological analysis was carried out to determine the mesostructural features (interlayer neck and void sizes) and how they behave during the compression test. The results indicated that the principal dimension of the voids ranged between 65 mm and 170 mm depending on the adopted value of the extrusion multiplier. On the other hand, thermomechanical compaction enabled the restriction of the voids of printed samples to 10 mm. The cross-sectioning of samples at different strains indicated the formation of shear banding strain localization. In addition, printed samples behaved like porous media during the compression tests and showed different characteristic regions with different void dimensions. The samples printed at the higher material extrusion showed similar behavior to compacted samples. Post-yielding analysis indicated that strain softening observed on compacted samples was more severe as compared to that observed on printed samples. This behavior is dramatically reduced by decreasing the extrusion multiplier.
A Factor Matching of Optimal Tail Between Poisson Processes
Authors: Timár Ádám 
Published: July 2023

AbstractConsider two independent Poisson point processes of unit intensity in the Euclidean space of dimension d at least 3. We construct a perfect matching between the two point sets that is a factor (i.e., a measurable function of the point configurations that commutes with translations), and with the property that the distance between two matched configuration points has a tail distribution that decays as fast as possible in magnitude, namely, as $$b\exp (-cr^d)$$

b
exp
(

)

with suitable constants $$b,c>0$$

. This settles the most difficult version of such matching problems: bicolored (versus unicolored) and deterministic (versus randomized). Our proof relies on two earlier results: an allocation (“land-division”) rule of similar tail for a Poisson point process by Markó and the author, and a recent breakthrough result of Bowen, Kun and Sabok that enables one to obtain perfect matchings from fractional perfect matchings under suitable conditions.

ZusammenfassungZiel dieses Artikels ist es, einen Überblick über Konzentrationen von PFAS in unterschiedlichen (Umwelt‑)Medien im oberen Donaueinzugsgebiet zu erhalten und daraus erste semiquantitative Schlüsse auf potenziell relevante Herkunftsbereiche zu ziehen. Im Zuge des EU-Projekts PROMISCES wurden 32 PFAS-Einzelsubstanzen in unterschiedlichen Donauzubringern, Donau, Donauuferfiltrat, Kläranlagenzu- und -abläufen, Deponiesickerwasser und durch solches beeinflusstes Grundwasser, Oberflächenabfluss und atmosphärischer Deposition analysiert. Darüber hinaus wurden PFAS-Daten aus anderen Projekten und Monitoringprogrammen genutzt. Ergebnisse weisen zum einen auf die geringe Wirksamkeit von Barrieren wie Kläranlagen und Uferfiltration gegen eine PFAS-Belastung von Wasserressourcen hin. So konnte dort für eine Reihe von Einzelparametern kein relevanter Rückhalt festgestellt werden. In Hinblick auf die Herkunftsbereiche von PFAS weisen die Ergebnisse auf eine relevante Bedeutung der Emissionen aus dem Bereich des Chemieparks Gendorf an der Alz für die Belastung der Donau mit Carbonsäuren, aber vor allem mit ADONA hin. Darüber hinaus können Siedlungsbereiche als relevante Herkunftsbereiche angesehen werden. Kläranlagenabläufe spielen eine Rolle, können die Gewässerbelastungen alleine aber nicht erklären. Andere (diffuse) Einträge dürften zudem eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Hohe Konzentrationen von PFAS in Sickerwässern von Altlasten aus Hausmülldeponien weisen auf eine potenzielle Relevanz zumindest auf der Ebene regionaler Einzugsgebietsebene hin. Ähnliches gilt für erhöhte Grundwasserkonzentrationen aufgrund anderer regionaler Hotspot-Belastungen, wie sie auch von Brielmann et al. (2023, in diesem Heft) diskutiert werden. In weiterer Folge sollen im Rahmen des PROMISCES-Projekts die hier dargestellten Ergebnisse für eine Emissionsmodellierung von PFAS im Donaueinzugsgebiet bis Budapest genutzt werden, um verstärkt quantitative Aussagen über die Rolle unterschiedlicher Eintragspfade auf die Belastung der Fließgewässer im Donaueinzugsgebiet oberhalb von Budapest machen zu können.
