Chapter Five: Farewell to the God of Plague
Authors: Wang Ban 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the light of biopolitical production, socialist China's medical practice was marked by a heavy reliance on the creativity of the masses and a rejection of the technical bureaucracy. The anti-epidemic campaign exemplified a popular and grassroots medicine for the people and by the people. In films Withered Trees Meet Spring and Spring Sprouts, the political mobilization of the peasantry, the raising of political consciousness, and mass participation in the prevention of diseases project a vision of healthcare for the people. The biomedical movement targeted an increasingly privileged health program skewed in favor of elites and urbanites and divorced from the wellbeing of ordinary people. The medicine of the “barefoot doctor” entails the ecological understanding of the human body in sync with nature and is rooted in affective labor in healing the rifts between humans and nature.
Chapter Six: Dignity and Misery of Labor
Authors: Wang Ban 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the post-socialist and market reform era, the power of the market and the developmental imperatives are creating metabolic rifts between humans and nature, between producers and the land. The film The Piano in a Factory tells a story of the working class trying to rekindle, amid new alienations, past pride and solidarity. Chinese documentary films have proven an effective medium in critiquing ecological rifts and disasters, staging a stringent critique against eco-destructive economic trends. Against a visual landscape dominated by billboards, glamorous stars, and images, documentary filmmakers expose the conditions of alienated labor and the environmental and human costs of unfettered development.
A Sports Medicine Clinician’s Guide to the Diagnosis and Management of Distal Clavicular Osteolysis
Authors: Singh Mani , Soo Hoo Jennifer 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Weightlifting associated shoulder injuries have seen a dramatic rise in the last 20 years. Distal clavicular osteolysis, coined weightlifter's shoulder, is one such condition caused by repetitive microtrauma to the distal clavicle with subsequent, painful development of bony erosions and resorption of the distal clavicle. Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this condition can be challenging. In this article, we highlight evidence-based clinical recommendations for the diagnosis and management of distal clavicular osteolysis, including specific considerations for atraumatic and posttraumatic etiologies, to help clinicians better care for their patients. Activity modification and rehabilitation are the mainstays of the initial treatment. Adjuvant treatments, such as injections or surgery, may be required in refractory cases or in certain patient populations. Early recognition and treatment of weightlifter's shoulder is essential to prevent progression to acromioclavicular joint pathology or instability and to allow for continued participation in sport-specific activities.
Acute Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury: Diagnosis, Management, and Return to Sports Considerations
Authors: Robinson David M. , Kakar Sanjeev , Jelsing Elena 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThumb metacarpophalangeal joint ulnar collateral ligament injuries are common in athletes and range from mild sprains to complete retracted tears. The typical injury mechanism of a valgus force directed onto an abducted or extended thumb is frequently seen in certain sporting activities, such as skiing, football, and baseball. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are excellent imaging supplements to the clinical evaluation for diagnosis confirmation. Positive treatment outcomes have been demonstrated when these injuries are appropriately managed both nonoperatively and surgically. When deciding on a treatment plan, it is paramount to take the athlete's injury severity and sport-specific factors into account. The aim of this review is to summarize the sport epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and return to play considerations for athletes who sustain an acute thumb metacarpophalangeal joint ulnar collateral ligament injury.

Authors: Dlamini Khululiwe , Moetlhoa Boitumelo , Turner Astrid , Maluleke Kuhlula , Mashamba-Thompson Tivani 
Published: June 2023

Introduction
Infections of the central nervous system are a considerable basis of mortality in people living with HIV, with progression to cryptococcal meningitis documented at around 15% of HIV-associated mortality globally, with nearly three-quarters occurring in the sub-Saharan Africa. Discoveries from previous studies prelude to the mortality of cryptococcal antigen positive, which persisted to be elevated than in cryptococcal antigen negative persons. One feasible interpretation of this could be due to undiagnosed cryptococcus. Laboratory investigations identify cryptococcal disease prior to cryptococcal meningitis progression. Point-of-care testing has high sensitivity and specificity as seen with the cryptococcal antigen lateral flow assay screening to expedite treatment. The aim of the study is to map and translate evidence on cryptococcal antigen infection among HIV-infected persons in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methodology
The proposed scoping review will be conducted using guidelines proposed by Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework and Levac et al. advanced method. It will be guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Reviews. A comprehensive literature search of studies published from the first relevant publication to 2022 will be conducted on multiple electronic databases. Additional sources (grey literature) will also be searched. The search strategy will be generated and implemented by the principal investigator with assistance from a subject specialist, and an information specialist. Two reviewers will screen eligible studies. The screening will be guided by an inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mixed methods appraisal tool version 2018 will be used to appraise the quality of the empirical studies.

Discussion
The proposed scoping review will map and translate evidence on cryptococcal antigen infection among HIV-infected persons in sub-Saharan Africa. Synthesising and sharing recent evidence in this area has potential to help guide future research and interventions aimed at improving the management of cryptococcal antigen infection among HIV-infected persons in sub-Saharan Africa and other high HIV- burdened settings.
Inverted U-shaped relationships between bone mineral density and VCTE-quantified degree of hepatic steatosis in adolescents: Evidence from the NHANES
Authors: He Shengmao , Zhang Yun , Tan Caixia , Tan Wenfu , Yin Bingliang 
Published: June 2023

Introduction
There may be inaccuracies in hepatic steatosis in past research assessing the relationship between bone metabolism and liver steatosis. The goal of the current research was to look at the associations between bone mineral density (BMD) and the hepatic steatosis and fibrosis as detected by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) in teenagers in the United States.

Methods
Weighted multiple linear regression models and smoothed curve fitting were used to investigate the association between BMD and the degree of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in adolescents.

Results
In 829 adolescents aged 12–19 years we found a negative association between total BMD and CAP (controlled attenuation parameter) [-32.46 (-58.98, -9.05)] and a significant positive association between lumbar BMD and LSM (liver stiffness measurement) [1.35 (0.19, 2.51)]. The inverted U-shaped relationships were founded between total BMD, lumbar BMD, pelvis BMD, and CAP with inflection points of 221.22 dB/m, 219.88 dB/m, and 216.02 dB/m, respectively.

Conclusions
In adolescents, higher BMD is significantly associated with lower levels of hepatic steatosis and higher levels of liver stiffness.

Las bromelias tienen un alto potencial comercial como especies ornamentales. La creación de nuevas variedades es de suma importancia para el mercado. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la variabilidad morfo agronómica de híbridos provenientes de cruces intra e interaespecíficos de las especies Guzmania lingulata, G. freya, G. wittmackii, G. conifera, G. zahnii y el cultivar Vriesea “Electric”. Se estudiaron diez grupos de plantas provenientes de cruces entre accesiones de Guzmania y Vriesea para una explotación comercial de bromelias entre los años 2017 y 2018, a los cuales se les midieron las variables cuantitativas: altura de la planta, diámetro de planta, longitud del pedúnculo, número de hojas, largo de hojas, ancho de hojas basales, longitud de la inflorescencia y diámetro de la inflorescencia. A dichas variables se les determinó estadígrafos descriptivos como media, CV y DE y se realizó un ANOVA con una prueba de separación de medias de Duncan al 0,05%. Las variables se sometieron a un análisis de componentes principales y de correlaciones de Pearson. En cuanto a resultados se obtuvo que el cruce 1 alcanzó los mayores valores para todas las variables excepto NH y DI, mientras, los cruces 4 y 6 mostraron los valores más bajos para la mayoría de las variables (p<0,05). Se encontró variables con alta correlación como el largo del pedúnculo (Lped) y altura de la planta (AP), largo de pedúnculo (Lped) y diámetro de planta (DP), largo de hoja (LH) y diámetro de planta (DP) y altura de inflorescencia (AI) con altura de la planta (AP). De forma general en el análisis de componentes principales se encontró que todas las variables, excepto el Diámetro de la Inflorescencia (DI), contribuyen a la variabilidad en los dos primeros componentes. De acuerdo con los análisis realizados y las variables cuantificadas se encontró suficiente variabilidad para desarrollar un programa de mejora genética.
Sex‐specific repolarization heterogeneity in mouse left ventricle: Optical mapping combined with mathematical modeling predict the contribution of specific ionic currents
Authors: Moussavi‐Torshizi S. Erfan , Amin Ehsan , Klöcker Nikolaj 
Published: June 2023

AbstractVentricular repolarization shows notable sex‐specificity, with female sex being associated with longer QT‐intervals in electrocardiography irrespective of the species studied. From a clinical point of view, women are at a greater risk for drug‐induced torsade de pointes and symptomatic long‐QT syndrome. Here, we present an optical mapping (OM) approach to reveal sex‐specific action potential (AP) heterogeneity in a slice preparation of mouse hearts. Left ventricular epicardial repolarization in female versus male mice shows longer and, interindividually, more variable AP duration (APD), yielding a less prominent transmural APD gradient. By combining OM with mathematical modeling, we suggest a significant role of IKto,f and IKur in AP broadening in females. Other transmembrane currents, including INaL, only marginally affect basal APD. As in many cardiac pathophysiologies, increasing [Ca2+]i poses a risk for arrhythmia, the response of AP morphology to enhanced activation of L‐type calcium channels (LTCC) was assessed in a sex‐selective manner. Both APD and its variation increased significantly more in female versus male mice after pharmacological LTCC activation, which we hypothesize to be due to sex‐specific INaL expression based on mathematical modeling. Altogether, we demonstrate a more delayed repolarization of LV epicardium, a leveled LV transmural APD gradient, and a more pronounced epicardial APD response to Ca2+ influx in females versus males. Mathematical modeling quantifies the relative contributions of selected ionic currents to sex‐specific AP morphology under normal and pathophysiological conditions.
Experimental and simulation study on a rooftop vertical-axis wind turbine
Authors: Ali Malek , Gherissi Abderraouf , Altaharwah Yousef 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this study, a small vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) was successfully designed and tested to produce electrical energy using renewable wind energy after being installed on the roof of buildings. The VAWT was constructed according to the existing wind source in the Tabuk region in Saudi Arabia. The use of VAWT on roofs is a sustainable solution for producing clean electricity and contributing to a portion of the local electricity consumption. A rooftop wind turbine test was performed to determine the behavior and output of a VAWT under non-constant wind speeds under natural conditions. To verify the resistance of the shear stress and pressure, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation on the airfoil was conducted. The experimental test results showed that the VAWT can reach its rated power at 9 m/s. The minimum wind speed needed for power production was 3 m/s. The maximum power coefficient obtained during testing was approximately 0.45 at a tip speed ratio of around 1.94. The simulation mesh is constructed with Ansys mesh. Two dimensional (2-D) mapped face meshing, fine, high smoothing mesh was constructed with 50 division numbers and a bias factor of about 150. The grid with 15,000 cells generated the same results as the higher number of cell grids. The simulation equivalent force was about 2.8 N for a single blade, such as 8.5 N in total, which presents an error of about 3%. The CFD simulation and experimental tests on existing forces confirm that the VAWT structure’s resistance can be guaranteed at high wind speeds.

Authors: Luhanga Florence , Maposa Sithokozile , Puplampu Vivian , Abudu Eunice , Chigbogu Irene 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objectives
This study explored the experiences of Black students in two western Canadian undergraduate nursing programs.

Methods
Using a qualitative focused ethnography design grounded in critical race theory and intersectionality, participants were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through individual interviews, and a follow-up focus group. Data were analyzed using collaborative-thematic analysis team approaches.

Results
n=18 current and former students participated. Five themes emerged: systemic racism in nursing, precarious immigrant context, mental health/well-being concerns, coping mechanisms, and suggestions for improvement.

Conclusions
An improved understanding of Black student experiences can inform their recruitment and retention. Supporting Black students’ success can potentially improve equity, diversity, and inclusivity in nursing education programs and/or their representation in the Canadian nursing workforce.

Implications for an international audience
The presence of a diverse nursing profession is imperative to meet the needs to provide more quality and culturally competent services to diverse population.
The Poetry of Ordinary Language
Authors: Verge Patrick 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The general argument of this essay is that poetry is an everyday ambition and an everyday accomplishment. The evidence for this – a good bit of which I will amass enthusiastically in what follows – is everywhere in our language. I explore this according to three guiding intuitions: (i) people, at least some of the time, want to give their words a similar intensity or fullness and show the same skill in unleashing verbal power, as poets do – seeking words that will carry their voices; (ii) people say things give me the same aesthetic bliss and ache of gratitude that poetry gives me; and (iii) there seems to be a poetic or aesthetic dimension to all of language, without which words would not have the significance for us that they do. I end the essay by saying why the poetry in our everyday speech complicates the relation between the ordinary and (different versions of) the extraordinary as other philosophers have imagined it.
Optimizing curing agent ratios for high-performance thermosetting phthalonitrile-based glass fibers
Authors: Lee Joon Hyuk , Jeon Eunkyung , Song Jung-kun , Son Yujin , Choi Jaeho 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Phthalonitrile (PN) is a highly promising material in the field of high-performance thermosetting polymers due to its ability to maintain its properties even at extremely high temperatures. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of varying curing agents on the thermal properties of cured PN resin. The curing agents were found to effectively cure the resin, as indicated by the increasing ratio of N and S contents and decreasing the C content as the proportion of curing agents increased, as observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy data analyses. Moreover, thermogravimetric analyses revealed that the sample with 20% curing agent showed the highest thermal decomposition rate among the 2, 5, 10, and 20% curing agent dosages. These properties can be further improved by incorporating glass fibers. Overall, these results demonstrate the successful use of curing agents to create an efficient and functional polymer with superior thermal properties that are suitable for use in harsh environments. The findings of this study are a significant step forward in advancing the use of PN as a high-performance thermosetting polymer.
The intonation of neighboring varieties
Authors: Cataldo Violetta , Crocco Claudia 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Despite the presence of several cross-variety studies on spoken varieties of regional Italian, research on the intonational transition across geographically close varieties is still scarce. This article tackles this issue by providing a first cross-variety comparison of question intonation in three neighboring varieties of Italian spoken in Campania, namely Neapolitan, Salerno and Cilento Italian. The three varieties are chosen based on their position with respect to the isoglosses identifying the Eboli-Lucera line. Such comparison is made possible using the methodological protocol outlined by Gili Fivela et al. (2015) and specifically concerns yes-no, wh- and disjunctive questions. This explorative study aims at identifying intonational features differenced by frequency of occurrence across space, thereby providing a basis for further quantitative studies on spatial distribution. Based on a corpus elicited with a combination of Discourse Completion Task and reading task, we analyze the phonological features of question tunes in Cilento Italian, while also comparing them to their counterparts in Neapolitan and Salerno Italian. Results show that the three varieties present systemic, realizational and phonotactic differences as well as differences in the frequency of occurrence of tonal events. The intraregional variation across Campania Italian varieties hints at an intonational transition featuring a smooth geographic cline.
A case of novel mutation in ANOS1 (KAL1) gene and review of Kallmann syndrome
Authors: Arora Sumeet , Yeliosof Olga , Chin Vivian L 
Published: June 2023

Summary
Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with coexisting anosmia or hyposmia along with potential other phenotypic abnormalities depending on the specific genetic mutation involved. Several genetic mutations have been described to cause KS. The ANOS1 (KAL1) gene is responsible for 8% of mutations causing KS. A 17-year-old male presented to our clinic with delayed puberty and hyposmia, along with a family history suggestive of hypogonadism in his maternal uncle. Genetic testing for KS revealed complete exon 3 deletion in the ANOS1 gene. To the best of our knowledge, this specific mutation has not been previously described in the literature.

Learning points

Missense and frameshift mutations in the KAL1 or ANOS1 gene located in the X chromosome are responsible for 8% of all known genetic mutations of Kallmann syndrome.

Exon 3 deletion is one of the ANOS1 gene is a novel mutation, not reported before.

Targeted gene sequencing for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism can be employed based on the phenotypic presentation.
