Published: August 2023

Background
The Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D®) program was implemented in Canada in 2017 with the aim of making treatment guideline-recommended care available to the 4 million Canadians with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). This report describes the GLA:D® Canada program, registry and data collection procedures, and summarizes the sociodemographic and clinical profile of participants with knee and hip OA to inform the scientific research community of the availability of these data for future investigations and collaborations.

Methods
The GLA:D® program consists of three standardized components: a training course for health care providers, a group-based patient education and exercise therapy program, and a participant data registry. Patients seeking care for knee or hip OA symptoms and enrolling in GLA:D® are given the option to provide data to the GLA:D® Canada registry. Participants agreeing to provide data complete a pre-program survey and are followed up after 3-, and 12-months. Data collected on the pre-program and follow-up surveys include sociodemographic factors, clinical characteristics, health status measures, and objective physical function tests. These variables were selected to capture information across relevant health constructs and for future research investigations.

Results
At 2022 year-end, a total of 15,193 (11,228 knee; 3,965 hip) participants were included in the GLA:D® Canada registry with 7,527 (knee; 67.0%) and 2,798 (hip; 70.6%) providing pre-program data. Participants were 66 years of age on average, predominately female, and overweight or obese. Typically, participants had knee or hip problems for multiple years prior to initiating GLA:D®, multiple symptomatic knee and hip joints, and at least one medical comorbidity. Before starting the program, the average pain intensity was 5 out of 10, with approximately 2 out of 3 participants using pain medication and 1 in 3 participants reporting a desire to have joint surgery. Likewise, 9 out 10 participants report having previously been given a diagnosis of OA, with 9 out 10 also reporting having had a radiograph, of which approximately 87% reported the radiograph showed signs of OA.

Conclusion
We have described the GLA:D® Canada program, registry and data collection procedures, and provided a detailed summary to date of the profiles of participants with knee and hip OA. These individual participant data have the potential to be linked with local health administrative data registries and comparatively assessed with other international GLA:D® registries. Researchers are invited to make use of these rich datasets and participate in collaborative endeavours to tackle questions of Canadian and global importance for a large and growing clinical population of individuals with hip and knee OA.
The dancing body as a living archive
Authors: Besson Christelle Becholey , Vionnet Claire 
Published: August 2023

This autoethnographic video essay is based on The Shadow of Others, a performance presented in the seven-storey Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen (Scotland) in May 2017. Focusing on the phenomenology of the dancing body, the performance unfolded the complexity and richness of gestures. Departing from the assumption that a soloist moves with their shadows (gestures from previous dances), I argue for the plural shaping every singular gesture. Combining dance and anthropology, this video essay revisits the notions of archive, repertoire and anarchive, and proposes a reflection on the intermingling of time, gestures, memory, knowledge and history. Claiming that the (dancing) body is a living archive, I use the metaphor of shadow as a linkage between bodies and movements. Drawing on performance studies and contemporary philosophy, the work emphasizes the way artistic creation generates knowledge, asking the value of embodied practices.

Improved bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp-based tissue papers incorporating wet-strength resins
Authors: Matos Marina , Carta Ana M. , Pinto Paula C. , Evtuguin Dmitry V. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractCommon tissue paper manufacturing trends aim at partial or total replacement of softwood pulp with hardwood pulp for its production, such as bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (BEKP), in order to optimize the process and the final product properties such as softness. However, the use of a single type of hardwood fiber results in lower strengths of both wet and dry webs. To maintain necessary strength and desired properties, the incorporation of several additives is often required. In this context, low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) and different wet strength resins, such as polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) and glyoxalated polyacrylamide (GPAM) resins, were combined to achieve an innovated product with improved properties. In particular, wet and dry tensile strength was significantly improved when combining PEG and wet strength resins, especially observed in tissue papers prepared with PAE resin, high-charge cationic agent and bulk applied aqueous PEG solution. Noteworthy that water absorption capacity and softness of tissue paper were not critically affected by PEG incorporation, regardless of application method used (in bulk or by spray).
Artificial neural network based load balancing scheme for top of rack switches in optical data centers
Authors: Shukla Madhukar Prashant , Keswani Poonam , Keswani Bright 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Data centers serve as dedicated facilities for housing computer systems and their related components, including telecommunications and storage systems. They typically have high levels of security and environmental controls to ensure that the equipment housed within them functions optimally. Data center networks (DCNs) often employ load balancing algorithms to handle large volumes of traffic and ensure that all servers and switches are utilized equally, keeping the network running smoothly. However, as load on the server varies, therefore dynamic traffic management systems that can adjust traffic flow in real-time based on the current traffic state is required. This study presents an artificial neural network-based load balancing method. By training a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) using a back propagation (BP) learning algorithm, it evenly distributes workload over all of the nodes. Simulation results are also presented to prove the usefulness of the proposed load balancing mechanism. It is found that the load balancing scheme can reduce the packet blocking probability (PBP) by 10 folds and delay by about nearly 11 percent.
Emotions, positive comparisons, and unexamined assumptions in novice U.S. teachers’ perspectives on English learners
Authors: Adams Brittany , Stevens Elizabeth Y. , Dussling Tess , Li Sunny C. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis article focuses on a study of the decision-making and patterns of discourse of 21 novice teachers as they engaged with, reflected on, and discussed school-based scenarios about English learners. Employing qualitative content analysis, researchers explore patterns related to intention, bias, and criticality in participants’ discourse. Participants avoided engaging with scenarios where solutions could not be enacted solely within their classroom, expressing hesitation about being disruptive to the school ecosystem and fear of conflict with colleagues, superiors, or parents. They focused on immediate solutions but rarely endeavored to identify the underlying assumptions that compelled characters to act in biased ways. While participants expressed awareness of their own privileged social positionings, they often struggled to connect their social identities to the underlying assumptions that informed their reactions to the scenarios. Notably, participants often used language that exonerated them from the judgment being cast on a character. Additionally, participants repeatedly racialized social identities unrelated to race and expressed distrust of students speaking a language they could not understand. These findings offer insight regarding novice teachers’ intentions and (mis)understandings when working with English learners and offer important implications for teacher educators’ as they prepare pre-service teachers to respond to such learners.

Photocontrolled self-assembly based on photoresponsive ruthenium complexes
Authors: Zhou Yang , Cao Jingning , Zhang Dachuan , Wu Si 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Self-assembly, which occurs through noncovalent interactions among molecules, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the natural world. Light is a particularly attractive stimulus for manipulating self-assembled structures due to its precise and noninvasive nature. Photoresponsive ruthenium (Ru) complexes are emerging as promising candidates for controlling self-assembly due to their unique coordination chemistry and reversible light-triggered behavior. Specifically, Ru complexes can undergo photodissociation of their ligands in aqueous solutions, leading to the formation of Ru-H2O species, and this process can be used to control the disassembly of assembled structures upon illumination. Conversely, upon cessation of the light stimulus, some Ru–ligand coordination bonds can be restored, resulting in reassembly of the structures. Herein, we mainly introduce our recent progress in the use of Ru(Ⅱ) complexes to create photocontrolled self-assemblies with applications ranging from cancer therapy to the manipulation of the morphology and properties of nanoscale materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions of photocontrolled assemblies with Ru complexes.
Questioning questions – the perception of f0 scaling in German questions between categorical function and continuous attitude
Authors: Michalsky Jan 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn previous studies comparing the intonation of questions and statements in German, greater f0 excursions of phrase-final rises have been associated with questions in both read speech and spontaneous speech. This holds for production studies as well as perception studies. However, a major question remains whether these differences are perceived categorically or continuously. Furthermore, we ask whether the differences in f0 scaling correspond to categorical linguistic functions or rather an attitudinal continuum. We conducted three different perception experiments: a classical categorical perception task, an imitation task, and a semantic evaluation task. The results suggest that f0 scaling in phrase-final rises is perceived as a phonetic continuum rather than in phonological categories. Furthermore, the gradual increase of the final rise is associated with a gradual increase in perceivedquestioning. Lastly, the phonetic cues to thisdegree of questioningare distinct from those to the other investigated meaningssurpriseanduncertainty. Accordingly, this study supports the assumption thatquestioningconstitutes an attitudinal meaning in its own right.
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies of H2S adsorption by lignin-based composite membranes

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Two lignin-based composite films were prepared by solution casting, which were named Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, respectively. The kinetic and thermodynamic analyses of the deodorization process of the composite membranes were performed by using adsorption models. The results showed that both membranes had good adsorption performance for H2S with the adsorption amounts of 36.39 mg g−1 and 35.69 mg g−1, respectively. The adsorption processes were mainly following the pseudo-secondary kinetic model, intraparticle diffusion model, and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, indicating that the intraparticle diffusion resistance controlled the H2S adsorption rate and H2S was adsorbed on the non-homogeneous surface of the membranes through multiple layers. The adsorption of H2S by Cu-CLA/PVA is an exothermic process, while the adsorption of H2S by CuO-LA/PVA/CNF is a heat-absorbing process, indicating that Cu-CLA/PVA is more suitable for H2S adsorption at low temperatures, but CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, at higher temperatures, is favorable for H2S adsorption reactions. △G is negative of both Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, indicating that both Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF are spontaneous for H2S adsorption.
The Importance of Previous Resistance Training Volume on Muscle Growth in Trained Individuals
Authors: Hammert William B. , Moreno Enrique N. , Buckner Samuel L. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
Resistance training volume has been suggested to be one of the most effective variables for developing muscular hypertrophy. Meta-analyses have concluded that there exists a dose-response relationship between weekly resistance training volume (i.e., the number of sets performed over the training week) and muscle mass accrual in nonresistance-trained individuals; however, experimental data in resistance-trained individuals have shown conflicting results. Current literature suggests that the performance of additional sets of resistance exercise within a single training session and training week does not inherently result in greater increases in muscle size compared with groups or conditions that perform lower volumes of resistance training. Notwithstanding these results, it has been suggested that controlling for each individual's previous training volume could improve the precision of the muscle hypertrophic response to resistance training and that failing to do so would disregard the principle of progressive overload. Herein, we explore the evidence for the suggestion that a higher-volume approach to training, in comparison to what an individual has been accustomed to, would improve the precision of the muscle growth response to resistance training and the physiological rationale that may (or may not) underpin this phenomenon.

AbstractMitochondria are central for cellular metabolism and energy supply. Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a severe disorder, due to dysfunction of the mitochondrial cardiolipin acyl transferase tafazzin. Altered cardiolipin remodeling affects mitochondrial inner membrane organization and function of membrane proteins such as transporters and the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Here, we describe a mouse model that carries a G197V exchange in tafazzin, corresponding to BTHS patients. TAZG197V mice recapitulate disease‐specific pathology including cardiac dysfunction and reduced oxidative phosphorylation. We show that mutant mitochondria display defective fatty acid‐driven oxidative phosphorylation due to reduced levels of carnitine palmitoyl transferases. A metabolic switch in ATP production from OXPHOS to glycolysis is apparent in mouse heart and patient iPSC cell‐derived cardiomyocytes. An increase in glycolytic ATP production inactivates AMPK causing altered metabolic signaling in TAZG197V. Treatment of mutant cells with AMPK activator reestablishes fatty acid‐driven OXPHOS and protects mice against cardiac dysfunction.
Including older adults in variationist sociolinguistics via mobile self-recording
Authors: Wagner Suzanne Evans 
Published: August 2023

Variationist sociolinguistics has made significant contributions to linguistics and allied fields in the study of language variation and change. Yet within this paradigm, older adults remain understudied. There are non-trivial methodological challenges to collecting language data from the old age population. However, the Covid-19 pandemic led to increasing use of remote data collection methods that could fruitfully be employed with older adults. The MI Diaries project’s rich and growing collection of self-recorded ‘audio diaries’ via a custom mobile app demonstrates the success of this technology. An open-source version of the app, currently in development, will be adaptable to older users. For individuals who feel isolated, sending regular self-recordings to a responsive research team could be socially beneficial. As for variationist sociolinguistics, remote technologies could allow for greater engagement with outstanding research questions about older adults’ sociolinguistic identities and their participation in language change.

[Bahasa]: Khatib berperan penting dalam memberikan informasi dan khazanah keislaman kepada jamaah shalat Jumat. Selayaknya, khatib menyampaikan materi khotbah yang selektif, tidak mengandung unsur SARA, radikalisme, dan fundamentalisme. Oleh karena itu diperlukan metode dan pemilihan maddah khotbah yang lugas dan terarah. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada para khatib muda tentang pentingnya konsep wasathiyah, khususnya dalam merespons pandemi Covid-19. Respons yang terlalu longgar atau terlalu ekstrem terhadap pandemi dapat berakibat kepada ketidaknyamanan masyarakat. Khatib muda menjadi salah satu pihak yang berperan dalam memciptakan kenyamanan di tengah pandemi ini. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian ini adalah Participatory Action Research dengan teknik ceramah, diskusi, dan evaluasi. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menunjukkan para peserta memperoleh manfaat dan wawasan baru dalam hal menyikapi pandemi Covid-19, sehingga memiliki referensi materi khotbah yang washatiyah. Khotib muda menjadi lebih memahami rukun dan syarat dalam berkhotbah sehingga mampu menyikapi pandemi Covid-19 secara proporsional sesuai pemahaman agama yang wasathiyah.

[English]: Khatib is significant in providing information and Islamic knowledge to the Friday prayer pilgrims. Appropriately, khatib delivers selective preaching material and does not contain elements of SARA, radicalism, and foundationalism. Therefore, a straightforward and directed method and selection of preaching maddah is needed. This community service activity aims to provide young khatibs with the importance of the concept of wasathiyah, especially in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. Too lax or extreme a response to the pandemic can result in public discomfort. Young Khatib is one of the parties who play a role in creating comfort in the midst of this pandemic. The method used in this service was Participatory Action Research through lecture, discussion, and evaluation techniques. The results show that the participants felt new benefits and insights in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, so they had a reference for washatiyah preaching material. As a result, the young Khotib became more understanding of the pillars and conditions of preaching. They could also respond to the Covid-19 pandemic proportionally according to a wasathiyah religious understanding.
