mittelgroßen Rasse
Authors: Bostedt Hartwig , Blim Sarah , Ossig Barbara , Sparenberg Marion , Failing Klaus 
Published: May 2023

Zusammenfassung
Gegenstand Verfolgung der Geburt unter kontrollierten Bedingungen bei
gesunden Hündinnen, um detaillierte Kenntnisse über den
natürlichen Geburtsablauf zu gewinnen und zu ermitteln, wann Betreuer
tierärztliche Unterstützung anfordern.
Material und Methoden Von 345 Boxerhündinnen wurden Daten zu
Graviditätsdauer, Geburtsverlauf, Wurfgröße und
neonatologischen Kennwerten erhoben. Die bei der Geburt in Echtzeit erfassten
Daten wurden statistisch ausgewertet (u. a. ein- oder mehrfaktorielle
Varianzanalysen, Korrelations-, Regressionsanalysen sowie nichtparametrische
Verfahren).
Ergebnisse Hündinnen mit geringerer Fetenzahl waren signifikant
länger gravid als solche mit hoher Fetenzahl (p=0,0012). Der
Anteil vitaler Neonaten nahm ab dem 5. Wurf signifikant ab (p=0,0072).
Weibliche Neonaten hatten ein geringeres Geburtsgewicht als männliche
(p<0,0001). Diurnale Einflüsse auf den Eintritt des Stadiums II
bestanden nicht. Die Geburten ließen sich in 3 Gruppen einteilen:
Eutokien (54,6%), Eutokien mit prophylaktischen Maßnahmen
betreuerseits (20,5%) und Dystokien (24,9%). Hündinnen
der Gruppe 1 waren etwas jünger als die der Gruppen 2 und 3. Der Anteil
älterer Primiparae (≥ 4 Jahre) lag in Gruppe 2 und 3 signifikant
höher als in Gruppe 1 (p<0,05). Die Gesamtgeburtsdauer
differierte zwischen Gruppe 1 und 2 signifikant (p<0,0001). In Gruppe 3
war der Anteil an Hündinnen mit einer Wehenschwäche Typ I
auffallend hoch (45,2%). Bei 83,8% der Geburten (Gruppe 1 und 2)
kam es zu einer oder mehreren Wehenpausen (>60 min) mit einer
Abhängigkeit zur Wurfgröße (p=0,0025). Die
Totgeburtenrate stieg in Korrelation zur Geburtsdauer. Gründe
für eine tierärztliche Intervention waren hauptsächlich
eine Wehenschwäche von Typ I und III. Zwischen Erkennen einer
Geburtsstörung und tierärztlicher Vorstellung lagen im Mittel
4,8±3,3 Stunden.
Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz Hündinnen mit Hyperfetie
(+20% über dem Mittel), uni- oder biparer
Gravidität sowie Primigravidae ≥ 4 Jahre sollten im
Hinblick auf die Geburt als Risikopatienten klassifiziert werden. Betreuenden
ist zu raten, die Hündin bei einer Geburtskomplikation in
Abhängigkeit von der Symptomatik zeitnah in einer Praxis/Klinik
vorzustellen, um Fälle von maternaler Inanition und Depression der
fetalen Vitalität zu minimieren.
Bessere Abwehr durch Thermotherapie jenseits natürlicher Quellen?
Authors: Stange Rainer 
Published: May 2023

SummaryWärme- und Kälteanwendungen werden seit Jahrhunderten in der Medizin eingesetzt. Moderne Medizintechnik bietet heute verschiedene Möglichkeiten, den gesamten Körper oder einzelne Bereiche schonend zu hyperthermieren sowie extremen hypothermen Bedingungen auszusetzen. Diese Verfahren werden unter anderem angewandt, um die Immunabwehr zu stärken. Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse dokumentieren diesen grundsätzlich plausiblen Anspruch bezüglich der Infektionsabwehr bislang allenfalls an einzelnen Parametern, in der onkologischen Abwehr anhand der Wirkungsverstärkung immunologischer Therapien.

Tardigrade and Manifold Sign: Two New Signs in Dupuytren's Disease
Authors: Reyntiens Pieter , Vanhoenacker Filip M. , Jager Tjeerd 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDupuytren's disease (DD) is a chronic benign fibroproliferative disorder of the palmar and digital fasciae. It is characterized by formation of nodules and fibrous cords that may eventually lead to contractures with permanent flexion of the finger joints. Correction of the flexion contractures in advanced disease is still performed by open limited fasciectomy; ultrasonography (US)-guided minimally invasive treatment is preferred for early disease.We provide an overview of the detailed anatomy of the palmar aponeurosis and the structures that may be involved in DD. Although magnetic resonance imaging is used as the gold standard, these small anatomical structures are often better visible on US. We describe two new morphological signs due to thickening of these small structures in patients with DD: the tardigrade
sign and the manifold
sign.
Familiarity with detailed imaging anatomy and these new imaging signs of DD will help confirm a correct and early diagnosis and distinguish this disease from various other entities.
Ankle and Foot Deformities in Children

Published: May 2023

AbstractAnkle and foot deformity is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in children and a leading cause of functional impairment and diminished quality of life when not treated. A spectrum of conditions may produce foot and ankle deformities, with congenital disorders the most frequent cause, followed by acquired conditions. Congenital disorders include congenital talipes equinovarus or congenital clubfoot, metatarsus adductus, skewfoot, congenital vertical talus, and tarsal coalition.Some of these deformities are frequent and easily diagnosed based on clinical features, but clinical overlap between pathologies can be challenging. Thus imaging plays a paramount role in evaluating these patients. Radiographs are the first imaging modality of choice, but they may not be sufficient in infants due to the lack of ossification of the tarsal bones. Ultrasonography allows not only a detailed visualization of the cartilaginous structures but also permits a dynamic study of the foot and ankle. Computed tomography may be necessary in certain conditions such as tarsal coalitions.
Ankle Instability Update

Published: May 2023

AbstractSprains are the most frequent injuries of the ankle, especially in sports. Up to 85% of cases affect the lateral ligament complex. Multi-ligament injuries with associated lesions of the external complex, deltoid, syndesmosis, and sinus tarsi ligaments are also common. Most ankle sprains respond to conservative treatment. However, up to 20 to 30% of patients can develop chronic ankle pain and instability.New concepts have been recently developed, based on arthroscopic advances, such as microinstability and rotatory ankle instability. These entities could be precursors of mechanical ankle instability and at the origin of frequently associated ankle injuries, such as peroneus tendon lesions, impingement syndromes, or osteochondral lesions.Imaging methods, especially magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR arthrography, are key in precisely diagnosing ligament lesions and associated injuries, facilitating an adequate therapeutic approach.
Argument indexing in Kamang
Authors: Walker Katherine , Faghiri Pegah , van Lier Eva 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Kamang (Alor-Pantar, non-Austronesian/Papuan) has a typologically unusual system of argument indexing, in which the S or P argument can be indexed on the verb by one of several prefix paradigms. Some verbs always show indexing, while others exhibit differential argument indexing (DAI). In DAI, the use of a particular prefix paradigm or zero marking depends on different (combinations of) factors. We investigate the effects of argument role (S, P), independent argument realisation, the animacy and topicality of the indexed argument, and lexical stipulation. We perform a quantitative analysis of these factors for the first time in Kamang discourse, drawing on an annotated corpus of spoken Kamang. A complex picture emerges in which Kamang argument indexing is best viewed not as a single system, but as multiple subsystems for which different factors are relevant in a given context, and which do not operate on all verbs or all indexing strategies equally.
Polarization-sensitive UV detector based on a double-layer subwavelength grating of Al and ZnO

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Polarization-sensitive detectors are of great importance in the fields of remote sensing and imaging, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis. The surface plasmon effect can the enable polarization sensitivity of photodetectors through metallic gratings. However, limited by the precision of the nano-fabrication process, it is difficult to fabricate an ultraviolet (UV) polarization-sensitive detector integrated with sub-wavelength metal gratings and the polarization extinction ratio is relatively low. In this paper, an Al–ZnO composite double-layer grating structure was designed. The ZnO active layer and the Al layer were both fabricated into same-sized grating structures. Through this design, the slit width could be enlarged to some degree, while the response to 90° polarized light remained low. It is beneficial to realize a high polarization ratio and to spare the need for rigid fabrication accuracy. In addition, the influence of the structural parameters of the grating on the performance of the detector was studied by simulation. It was found that the resonance wavelength can be adjusted by changing the slit width and grating height, respectively. This provides a useful means for polarization-sensitive detection in different wavelength ranges. The polarization extinction ratio of the detector with a double-layer composite grating can reach 52 in the UV band (365 nm). This provides a good alternative to replace the traditional framework relying on the combination of polarizers and detectors. Moreover, it is a promising structure for high-density integrated photodetectors and imaging chips in the future.
Peculiarities of measuring fluorescence decay times by a streak camera for ps-TALIF experiments in reactive plasmas

Published: May 2023

Abstract
We present a detailed methodology for (i) correctly configuring a streak camera to capture raw picosecond two-photon absorption laser induced fluorescence signals (ps-TALIF) of H-atom in low- and atmospheric-pressure plasmas, and (ii) properly processing the recorded raw experimental data with a dedicated mathematical signal processing method to infer actual ps-TALIF signals of H-atom. The goal is the accurate determination of the decay time of the recorded ps-TALIF signals of H-atom. A ps-laser is used to excite atomic hydrogen produced in both plasmas and the raw fluorescence signals are detected by the streak camera using different time windows/ranges (TR). It is shown that the choice of the TR affects the shapes and the decay times of the recorded raw TALIF signals. This is defined as the instrumental function of the streak camera and has a Gaussian profile as determined by recording the ultrafast laser pulse at different TR. To remove this instrumental distortion and extract the actual shape of the TALIF signals, the captured raw TALIF signals were fitted using the mathematical procedure developed in this study, which involved an exponentially modified Gaussian function. The application of our methodology leads to more reliable measurements of hydrogen atoms decay times after respecting the following acquisition conditions: (i) the TR of the streak camera should be sufficiently large to capture the complete (raw) TALIF signal, and (ii) the time width of the instrumental function of the streak camera should be as small as possible compared to the actual decay time of the fluorescence, while ensuring an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. This work demonstrates the remarkable potential of the combination of ps-TALIF and streak cameras in state-of-the-art optical plasma diagnostics.

Abstract
An x-ray computed tomography (XCT) interlaboratory comparison campaign, involving an aluminium-machined object, whose dimensions (92 × 78 × 63 mm3) are significant for a 225 kV XCT system, was performed for the purpose of investigating the performances of industrial XCT systems for dimensional measurements in terms of accuracy, i.e. precision and trueness, and to evaluate the influence of the measurement protocol (i.e. measurement strategy), of the operator and of the software on the results by comparison to reference measurements. In this campaign, we came to the conclusion that the measurement strategy is predominant, except for distance; that the measurement process is affected by the operator only for cylindricity and coaxiality; that there is no or little influence of the software except for coaxiality and position; and that a volumetric Gaussian filter allows to improve the measurements only for some participants’ measurements Furthermore, different behaviours, in terms of precision and trueness, are observed depending on the type of measurands when performed by different operators. The diameter measurements are reproducible with XCT, lower than 30 µm which corresponds to a subvoxelic factor of 2.5 and the trueness is lower than 22 µm. The distance measurement is also reproducible with XCT, 15 µm which corresponds to a subvoxelique factor of 4.9 and the trueness is 8 µm. For these mesurands, their measurements do not depend on the used XCT system. However, the XCT reproducibility for cylindricity, coaxiality and position is worse as well as of the trueness except for the position which has a trueness of 1 µm. The process measurement should be revised regarding cylindricity and coaxiality measurements. Finally, overall, the ability of the participants to perform measurements with XCT, whatever their system, is statistically comparable except for a few measurements.
A speed loop control method of a laser tracing measurement control system

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In a laser tracking control system, a motor drives the load to achieve continuous forward and reverse rotation speed control, and the magnitude of the load changes periodically during the motor rotation to realize tracking. Based on these characteristics, we propose an integral-separated improved variable universe fuzzy proportional-integral (PI) control method with torque feedforward compensation method in this study. The proposed method achieves the control performances of fast response, high steady-state accuracy, and strong anti-interference. The conventional fuzzy PI control method achieves good performance only in the unidirectional acceleration of a motor; therefore, we have improved its fuzzy rules, and designed a novel universe contraction–expansion factor. Additionally, a load torque observer is introduced to observe and compensate for the external load and to further improve the anti-interference performance of the tracking control system. The experimental results demonstrate that the integral-separated improved variable-universe fuzzy PI control method achieves better performance in the forward and reverse speed regulation processes of the motor. The overshoot is 92% less than that of the conventional PI control when the target speed is set to ±500 rpm. The Luenberger observer is introduced to observe and compensate for the load torque. After the stabilizing the speed and applying an external load of 0.2 N m to the motor, the maximum speed reduction is observed to be 59% less than that obtained using the conventional PI control. The improved PI control method satisfies the speed loop control requirements of the laser tracking control system and can improve the steady-state tracking accuracy and robustness of the system.
A novel SE-weighted multi-scale Hedging CNN approach for fault diagnosis of wind turbine

Published: May 2023

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel weighted SE MSH CNNs approach to make full use of time-series data and solve the problem of low WT fault diagnosis accuracy. Firstly, the operating data of WTs are collected through the SCADA system and expanded by the SWM. Then, the SE network is constructed to adaptively determine the weights of each parameter to focus on the effective fault features, and the stacking layers are used to extract the multi-scale features. After that, the obtained features are hedged to get the differentiated features, and two global pooling layers are employed to extract further and fuse the multi-scale features. The proposed method is put into an application case to verify its superior effectiveness and generalization ability in WT fault diagnosis. Experimental results show that: (1) the proposed method effectively extracts multi-scale differentiated features, thereby improving the identifiability of WT faults; (2) the proposed model outperforms all the other considered models in terms of accuracy and other evaluation metrics, showing that it is more appropriate for WT fault diagnosis; (3) the superiority and generalization ability of the proposed method are further verified through various experimental strategies.
Integrable differential systems for deformed Laguerre–Hahn orthogonal polynomials
Authors: Rebocho Maria das Neves , Witte Nicholas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractOur work studies sequences of orthogonal polynomials{Pn(x)}n⩾0of the Laguerre–Hahn class, whose Stieltjes functions satisfy a Riccati type differential equation with polynomial coefficients, which are subject to a deformation parametert. We derive systems of differential equations and give Lax pairs, yielding nonlinear differential equations intfor the recurrence relation coefficients and Lax matrices of the orthogonal polynomials. A specialisation to a non semi-classical case obtained via a Möbius transformation of a Stieltjes function related to a deformed Jacobi weight is studied in detail, showing this system is governed by a differential equation of the Painlevé type PVI. The particular case of PVIarising here has the same four parameters as the solution found by Magnus (1995J. Comput. Appl. Math.57215–37) but differs in the boundary conditions.

Abstract
The present operating high-field compact spherical tokamak ST40 is an important step toward an ST-based fusion reactor (Gryaznevich and Asunta 2017 Fusion Eng. Des.
123 177; McNamara 2023 Nucl. Fusion 63 054002). Temperature and density profiles and their uncertainties in recent hot ion ST40 plasmas with central ion temperatures exceeding 8.6 keV, have been inferred using an integrated analysis of several diagnostics including line-of-sight integration and volume average measurements, as well as limited profile information from a charge-exchange-recombination spectrometer. A linear gyrokinetic stability analysis has been carried out to identify the most unstable micro-instabilities in these hot ion plasmas. In one of these plasmas, it is found that linear growth rates of both ion- and electron-scale (

is seen at ρ = 0.3 compared with the ρ = 0.8 location. It is found through parametric scans that while the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode/trapped electron mode (TEM) and kinetic ballooning mode (KBM)/kinetic shear Alfvén (KSA) mode are more important in the plasma core, ubiquitous mode (UM) is found to be the important ion-scale instability at

. At ρ = 0.8, two instabilities are found at the electron scale, with one being the typical electrostatic electron temperature gradient (ETG) mode at ρ

The existence of UM at the ion scale and the low-real-frequency instability and ETG mode at the electron scale at ρ = 0.8 is supported by an extensive linear gyrokinetic stability analysis of another ST40 hot ion plasma in a wider parametric range, taking into account the uncertainties in the experimental profiles.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
As a national strategic commodity, sugar sufficiency has become one of the government’s priorities. However, until recently, Indonesia is still experiencing a deficit in sugar due to production and consumption gaps. This paper aims to assess the performance of national sugar production and consumption and the government’s efforts to overcome the shortage. This study used primary and secondary data. Descriptive qualitative and Grid analysis was employed, supported by a literature review from various relevant sources. The study results show that during the 2015–2020 period, national sugar consumption was higher than its production. The low national sugar production was due to (1) a decrease in sugarcane area, (2) stagnation of sugarcane yield and sugar content, (3) not optimal process of modernization and revitalization of sugar mills, and (4) policies related to trade and prices of sugarcane and sugar. Out of nine policy options to increase sugarcane yield, the use of sugarcane seedlings of high-yielding varieties has become a priority policy. An action plan is required to support such policy, i.e., structuring of variety; coordination, technical guidance, socialization, and extension; and government assistance programs, especially capital aid.
