INTRODUCTION:
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a clinical conundrum without a diagnostic gold standard. The Esophageal Hypervigilance and Anxiety Scale (EHAS) is a questionnaire designed for cognitive-affective evaluation of visceral sensitivity. We hypothesized that esophageal hypervigilance and symptom-specific anxiety have an etiopathological role in generation of LPR symptoms, especially when gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) cannot explain these symptoms.

METHODS:
Consecutive patients with LPR and/or GERD symptoms lasting >3 months were prospectively enrolled and characterized using the Reflux Symptom Index, GERD questionnaire, and EHAS. Eligible patients with negative endoscopy underwent 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring off acid suppression for phenotyping GERD and assessment of reflux burden, using conventional metrics (acid exposure time and number of reflux episodes) and novel metrics (mean nocturnal baseline impedance and postreflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave index).

RESULTS:
Of 269 enrolled patients (mean age 47.1 years, 21–65 years, 60.6% female), 90 patients were with concomitant GERD and LPR symptoms, 32 patients were with dominant LPR symptoms, 102 patients were with dominant GERD symptoms, and 45 were controls. Patients with concomitant GERD and LPR symptoms had higher EHAS than those with dominant GERD symptoms and controls (P ≤ 0.001); patients with dominant LPR symptoms had higher EHAS than controls (P = 0.007). On Pearson correlation, EHAS positively correlated with the Reflux Symptom Index.

DISCUSSION:
Esophageal hypervigilance and symptom-specific anxiety may be more important than reflux burden in LPR symptom perception.

Die Entwicklung der Regulierungsintensität der deutschen Regionalpläne von 1985 bis 2017. Ein empirischer Beitrag zur Diskussion um den Bedeutungsverlust der Raumordnung
Authors: Eichhorn Sebastian , Diller Christian , Pehlke David 
Published: January 2023

As a contribution to the debate on deregulation of spatial planning and lean regional plans, this paper presents the first long-term study for Germany analysing the regulatory intensity of all regional plans legally valid in 2017 on the topics of settlement and open space development over time. As a final result, the assumption of a general deregulation and streamlining of regional plans cannot be confirmed. In contrast, changes in the legal basis, such as the priority of inner over outer urban development, have led to a continuous increase in the regulatory intensity over time, particularly in the case of positive growth management policies with an active role of regional planning. At the same time, there is evidence of streamlining tendencies in some states, which can partly be interpreted as deregulation tendencies. To date, however, they are merely an expression of state-specific ways of shaping regional planning and not a sign of an accelerated deregulation competition.
Bringing Relationships out of the Shadows: Relationship Building as a Foundational Social Resource and Mediator of Context
Authors: Hoogsteen T.J. 
Published: January 2023

Leithwood (2017) outlines personal leadership resources (PLR) and Leithwood et al. (2019) claimed these resources can account for a great deal of variation in school leadership practice. In addition, these leadership resources are recognized in several documents related to leadership standards. Although other leadership resources exist, Leithwood (2017) and Leithwood et al. (2019) claim that the PLRs in these documents are included because there is significant evidence to warrant their inclusion. This article, however, provides evidence that the list of personal leadership resources required for successful leadership is incomplete, and neglects to recognize the importance of the ability to build relationships. Moreover, this article attempts to further the argument forwarded by Hoogsteen (2020) that personal leadership resources mediate context and leadership practice, and this is accomplished only through the construction and maintenance of productive relationships with school staff, district personnel, and the community at large.

Greenery and water structure before and after political system transformation. A Poznań city case study
Authors: Szejnfeld Marta 
Published: January 2023

The greenery and water structure, in the form of wedges cutting into the city, is a characteristic and unique element of Poznań’s urban model. Already before the Second World War, it became the matrix setting the framework for spatial and natural connections within and around the city. These areas were originally clearly demarcated and formed an organic network that permeated the built-up areas. It was this local network of linkages that was to have the greatest impact on the quality of urban living, climate improvement, biodiversity and the functional and spatial structure of the city.
In the idea of the socialist city, ensuring access to green spaces for the masses, was one of the essential policy elements of the time. However, over time, in the various models of the city proposed by successive planners, these interconnections began to disappear and the individual bands were narrowed and sometimes discontinued altogether.
This study aims to verify the urban planning models of the city of Poznań against the original idea of a wedge-ring system of greenery and water areas, before and after the political transformation in 1989.
How does this original structure function today and how have the socio-economic changes that followed the fall of communism affect the greenery and water solutions proposed in the new city model?
A comparative analysis of changes in green and water structure in the different spatial models of the city of Poznań, before and after the political transformation, makes it possible to observe the pace and directions of these changes. The analysis was based on the findings of the then-current master plans and on the studies of spatial development conditions and directions, which are an expression of the city’s spatial policy. It can be used to verify the assumptions made or even to change the current model of the city.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Common bean is among the vital legumes cultivated for nutrition, foreign currency earnings, and income generation. Common bean production is constrained mainly by nutrient deficiencies. A field experiment was conducted at Sodo Zuria Woreda to assess the effects of blended N–P–S–B fertilizer rates and Rhizobium strain on yield and yield traits of common bean and income of farmers. Treatments were five different rates of blended NPSB fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha−1) and two types of Rhizobium strains (HB-A15 and HB-429 (Rhizobia etli)) and control (without inoculation). Randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with three replications were used. Results showed that interaction of blended NPSB rate and Rhizobium strain type had significant effect on the number of effective nodule, grain yield, and above ground dry biomass. Application of 150 kg NPSB ha−1 along with inoculation of Rhizobium etli resulted in the highest grain yield (3017.7 tons ha−1). Similarly, economic analysis indicated that the highest net return of 38298.545 ETB ha−1 was obtained from combined application of 150 kg NPSB ha−1 along with Rhizobium etli. Thus, it could be concluded that using Rhizobium etli strain with 150 kg NPSB ha−1 was found to be appropriate for common bean production in the area.
Neutrophilia with subclinical Cushing’s disease: A case report and literature review
Authors: Zhang Yan , Lin Xiaoxi , Liu Fei , Shou Songtao , Jin Heng 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The increase in the level of neutrophils following subclinical Cushing’s disease is an uncommon clinical phenomenon that is characterized by insignificant biochemical or clinical evidence of hypercortisolism. In this study, we reported a 37-year-old female patient who presented with palpitations and fatigue, and showed increased neutrophils that were unaffected by anti-infection therapy. The patient was suspected of having a urinary tract infection because of occasionally with urinary frequency, urgency, increased procalcitonin, leukocytosis, and an increased proportion of neutrophils. The ineffectiveness of anti-infection therapy ruled out the possibility of urinary tract infection. Further examination of the bone marrow excluded the possibility of blood disease. However, the levels of blood cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) increased, and a magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed lesions in the sphenoidal sinus and sella area of the sphenoidal bone, which confirmed the relationship between increased glucocorticoids and increased neutrophils. This was further confirmed by follow-up surgery and pathological examination, which revealed silent corticotropin adenomas, which are characterized by the lack of biochemical or clinical evidence of hypercortisolism with positive immunostaining for ACTH.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
This review focuses on the trends and challenges, over the last ten years, in the development of electrochemical sensors based on organic conducting polymers and graphene composites for the determination of trace heavy metal ions in water. Some of these materials taken alone still have significant limitations for the selective and ultrasensitive detection of target species. Hence, it has become crucial to develop new composite materials able to overcome these limitations and to improve the sensitivity to heavy metal ions. The properties resulting from the combination of these two types of materials, which increased the electrochemical performance by offering many advantages such as improvement of catalytic activity and conductivity, fast electron transfer kinetics, large surface area and high sensitivity were reviewed. This review also presents in detail various methods (chemical, electrochemical and hydrothermal) used to prepare composites and characterization methods (spectroscopic, microscopic, electrochemical, etc.). The applications of these composites in electroanalysis of heavy metal ions have been discussed and summarized. Also, electrochemical detection methods, particularly those called “Anodic Stripping Voltammetry” have been explained and their uses in the detection of heavy metal ions in natural water have been highlighted, and the results provided.

The crystallite size of 22.7 nm for CeO2 and varied from 32.47 nm to 62.95 nm for Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles as calculated from the X-ray diffraction pattern. Scanning electron microscope images showed a porous network-like morphology for both the samples. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed a characteristic absorption band for Ce–O at 849 cm−1. Raman spectra indicated the vibrational mode of the cubic fluorite type structure of CeO2 nanoparticles at 464 cm−1. The specific surface area of CeO2 nanoparticles, was observed to be 58 m2 g−1, while that for 2%, 4%, and 6% Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles was 45 m2 g−1, 34 m2 g−1, 24 m2 g−1 respectively.
Assessment of eggshell-based material as a green-composite filler: Project milestones and future potential as an engineering material

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The utilization of eggshell (ES) waste as a composite filler has increased significantly in the last 5 years. This increase in usage took place due to its unique characteristics, which improve the properties of the resulting composite. Adding a weight fraction of ES particles into a composite can improve its mechanical properties, although not all studies have shown this phenomenon. Studies on these composites’ thermal and tribological properties are still limited, so more in-depth studies could be carried out. The degradation of composite performance due to friction or exposure to humidity and hot temperature is another area that is worthy of further study. In this work, we discuss changes in composites’ mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties associated with the addition of ES particles, examining both untreated particles and those treated with carbonation. This work can serve as a guide for the utilization of ES particles as an environmentally friendly composite material.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The proposed study demonstrates the flow phenomenon and thermo-variation of a magnetized stretching sheet induced-radiative nanofluid flow. By incorporating the response surface methodology, the heat transfer rate of the thermally convective flow of nanofluid is optimized. The graphene nanomaterial is used in the water-based nanofluid. A dynamic magnetic field, thermal radiation, and the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model have used to represent the thermal behavior of the nanofluid. The simulation utilizes experimentally estimated values for the nanomaterial’s thermal conductivity and viscosity. To further reveal the thermal enhancement of the flow, the impact of nanoparticle diameter and the solid-liquid interfacial layer is proposed at the molecular level. The response surface methodology and the sensitivity analysis has used to examine the effects of the nanoparticle volume fraction, Biot number, and magnetic parameter on the rate of heat transfer statistically. A set of equations is formed from the governing partial differential equations by implementing suitable similarity transformations. The bvp4c approach is used to solve the problem numerically. The effect of various parameters has displayed through tables, graphs, and surface plots on heat transfer, mass transfer, and the local Nusselt number. It is discovered that as the Biot number increases, so does the concentration and temperature profile. An excellent accord between the present and previously existing solutions is establishing the validity of the achieved results.
Structural abnormalities and osteopathic considerations in primary immunodeficiencies
Authors: Rowane Marija J. , Callahan Meghan A. , Schend Jason E. , Rowane Michael P. , Hostoffer Robert W. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Structural skeletal abnormalities are associated with primary immunodeficient (PID) patients. These abnormalities have not been well studied in PID with reference to osteopathic medicine tenets. Osteopathic structural examinations of PID patients with respect to these tenets and the diagnosis of somatic dysfunctions preventing the free flow of lymph fluids back into the circulation and the disruption of the skeletal microenvironment may have an impact on the status of the immune system in patients with a PID. A standardized evaluation was conducted in a patient with a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1) mutation who presented with skeletal abnormalities. A literature review was also conducted to determine the breadth of other PIDs with structural irregularities. Osteopathic structural clinical examinations (OSCEs) were performed by an osteopathic medical student, fellow, and attending after receiving informed consent from the patient. The findings were collected regionally noting severity, tissue texture changes, asymmetry, altered range of motion (ROM), and tenderness according to DO-Touch.NET physical examination and treatment form. A literature review was conducted utilizing various search engines and the textbook, Stiehm’s Immune Deficiencies, 4th edition. The significant findings found from the patient were right sidebending rotation cranial strain pattern with decreased left temporal bone motion, temporomandibular joint crepitus, and right deviation upon mandibular opening. The thoracolumbar region revealed tissue tenderness and restricted psoas ROM. Bilateral sacroiliac joint tenderness, right superior sheering, and anterior innominate rotation, along with left-on-left sacral flexion, were associated with valgus knees. The literature search showed multiple other PIDs outside of PIK3R1 that have associated skeletal and structural abnormalities. Irregular skeletal features found in immunodeficient patients may have an additive defect on the immunological responses due to somatic dysfunction impinging on the lymphatic flow to the central circulation. Other different immunodeficient patients suffer from boney structural abnormalities, which may lead to further immune hindrance caused by impingement of flow as well as bone marrow microenvironment impact on the peripheral immunological output. We present the first osteopathic examination with detailed findings of somatic dysfunction in a patient with PID. Future studies on PID patients should require more attention to structure and function, as found by a thorough osteopathic examination in order to unrestrict preformed cellular and humoral components back into the peripheral circulation.
Noise Source Predominance Map: a new representation for strategic noise maps
Authors: Licitra Gaetano , Bolognese Matteo , Chiari Claudia , Carpita Stefano , Fredianelli Luca 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Environmental noise prevention starts from strategic noise maps of main transport infrastructures and agglomerations. Graduated colors are representative of the average noise levels produced in space by each individual source, or the by the overall sum. Among their purposes, communication of results to population has been the most neglected. The present paper proposes predominance maps for the first time in environmental acoustic (NSP). NSP are visualization tool showing the predominant source in each point by means of polygons and colors. Also Intensity Noise Source Predominance maps (I-NSP) are proposed, which add visualizations of noise exposure levels to NSP by coloring the polygons according to a color-scale. Both NSP and I-NSP are new visualization that would help understanding and assigning responsibilities for exceeding limits, but they also represent a valid support for locating the acoustic monitoring stations when required. As case studies, the maps are calculated in port areas, as they are large areas with a great variability of different types of noise sources and represent a smaller case than agglomeration, but with higher complexity.
