Authors: Melgaard Simon Pommerencke , Nikolaisson Ivan Titov , Zhang Chen , Johra Hicham , Larsen Olena Kalyanova 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDynamic simulation of a double-skin façade (DSF) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be challenging due to the lack of validated models and benchmarking datasets. Furthermore, there is a lack of consensus in the scientific community on what constitutes a successfully validated DSF model. The present review study identifies simulation trends and research gaps for DSFs simulated with CFD. Additionally, this article presents a series of CFD simulations in which key aspects of the DSF modelling are varied: 2D or 3D modelling approaches, turbulence viscosity models (TVMs), radiation models, and wall function. These simulation results are compared to the empirical data (both temperature and velocity fields) of a benchmark test with laboratory-controlled boundary conditions. This analysis shows that using the k-ε RNG model with enhanced wall treatment and surface-to-surface (S2S) radiation model yields the best results for the 2D case of natural convection flow. Moreover, it is shown that accounting for the velocity field in the validation process is essential to ensure the suitability of a model. Finally, the authors advocate for the use of selected dimensionless numbers to improve the comparability of the different DSF scientific studies. This would also help to identify relevant experimental datasets for validation and suitable CFD simulation settings for specific DSF cases.
Transitioning to work without school: experiences of the home educated
Authors: Moir Leah 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe school-to-work transition is widely acknowledged as difficult, requiring meaningful support for young people to navigate successfully. This paper examines the reported experiences of six families navigating 23 home educated young people’s transition from compulsory education to tertiary education and work. Data from semi-structured interviews with the parents were thematically analysed using Bourdieu's habitus, capital, and field. Findings indicate that the parents provided ample opportunity for self-exploration to encourage autonomy coupled with opportunity to explore and participate in the wider community, leading to a successful transition experience. The findings suggest that a contrasting, alternative career preparation method can be successful; one that values autonomy over the traditional approach which involves a scaffolded set of knowledge and skills. This study indicates that the transition can be successfully facilitated by providing young people with opportunity for autonomous self and career exploration in the community, without the standardised assistance provided through schools.

Authors: Hilger Christiane , Dramburg Stephanie , Santos Alexandra F. , de las Vecillas Leticia , Hoffmann-Sommergruber Karin 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe first Molecular Allergology User’s Guide was published in 2016 and quickly became a key reference for many clinicians and scientists worldwide. The rapid development of our knowledge on allergen molecules as well as the availability of new assays and new clinical studies created a need for an update of the guide. In a concerted effort by almost 100 authors, all chapters of the first edition were revised and new chapters added, creating the most up-to-date and freely available guide on molecular allergology for daily practice. This article gives a summary of the most important additions to the 2022 edition, MAUG 2.0.
Therapeutic dilemma’s: antipsychotics use for neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, delirium and insomnia and risk of falling in older adults, a clinical review
Authors: Korkatti-Puoskari Netta , Tiihonen Miia , Caballero-Mora Maria Angeles , Topinkova Eva , Szczerbińska Katarzyna , Hartikainen Sirpa ,   on the Behalf of the EuGMS Task & Finish group on FRIDs
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Because of the common and increasing use of antipsychotics in older adults, we aim to summarize the current knowledge on the causes of antipsychotic-related risk of falls in older adults. We also aim to provide information on the use of antipsychotics in dementia, delirium and insomnia, their adverse effects and an overview of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms associated with antipsychotic use and falls. Finally, we aim to provide information to clinicians for weighing the benefits and harms of (de)prescribing.

Methods
A literature search was executed in CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus in March 2022 to identify studies focusing on fall-related adverse effects of the antipsychotic use in older adults. We focused on the antipsychotic use for neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, insomnia, and delirium.

Results
Antipsychotics increase the risk of falls through anticholinergic, orthostatic and extrapyramidal effects, sedation, and adverse effects on cardio- and cerebrovascular system. Practical resources and algorithms are available that guide and assist clinicians in deprescribing antipsychotics without current indication.

Conclusions
Deprescribing of antipsychotics should be considered and encouraged in older people at risk of falling, especially when prescribed for neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, delirium or insomnia. If antipsychotics are still needed, we recommend that the benefits and harms of antipsychotic use should be reassessed within two to four weeks of prescription. If the use of antipsychotic causes more harm than benefit, the deprescribing process should be started.
A Conceptual Analysis of the Funds of Knowledge and Identity Approach from an Eco-functional Perspective
Authors: Nigrini Leonard , Esteban-Guitart Moisés 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe article situates the Funds of Knowledge (FoK) approach and the Funds of Identity (FoI) theory in the context of the eco-functional perspective. It proposes to understand the “funds” as external factors of extra-cerebral organizations, as both refer to products of historically accumulated social labor. Furthermore, the article lays out that similar to the dynamic features of external factors in developing functional psychic organizations, funds of knowledge and identity have to be considered specific to a social and developmental context. It is found that Vygotsky’s concept of perezhivanie and Holzkamp’s concept of position-specificity may provide a valid framework for realization of this dynamic understanding of FoK and FoI.
Leveraging Number Lines and Unit Fractions to Build Student Understanding: Insights from a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Bruce Catherine D. , Flynn Tara , Yearley Shelley , Hawes Zachary 
Published: July 2023

AbstractFractions remain a challenging area of school mathematics at every stage of education, with impacts that extend far beyond the school years. For this study, researchers engaged in classroom-based design research over a 6-year period to investigate effective strategies for teaching fractions with Canadian students. Participants included 86 teachers (representing 12 collaborative research teams spread across 8 school boards) and over 2000 students from Grades 3–10. Quantitative analyses revealed significant pre-post gains in students’ fraction knowledge. Qualitative findings revealed some best practices in fractions instruction, including the importance of focusing on unit fractions and number lines to facilitate student sense-making. These findings lead to a detailed discussion of the benefits of (1) focusing on unit fractions as a central construct that allows students to meaningfully work with fractions and make connections across ideas of increasing complexity; (2) leveraging powerful representations as objects-to-think-with that combine concrete and abstract thinking about fractions; and (3) using a design research methodology in the context of collaborative work with teachers.
Preparation of a superior damping coating and study on vibration damping properties
Authors: Jin Gen , Chen Guo , Zhao Zihao , Zhao Zhengda , Liu Lei , Qian Jin 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this paper, a superior damping coating was prepared, which can be easily sprayed onto the samples, showing a promising application in the vibration reduction for aircraft. This paper aims to investigate the effect of filler content, size and coating thickness on the damping properties of aluminum flake samples. It is found that the vibration of the sample is significantly suppressed with the vibration reduction rate of the coating reaching 63.23%. Moreover, the damping ratio of the coating was calculated using the half-power bandwidth method, based on which the finite element simulation model was established. The simulation results are in perfect agreement with the test ones, and the maximum vibration amplitude error stayed within 9.06%. These results fully demonstrated the effectiveness and practicality of the damping coating.
Peppers and their constituents against obesity
Authors: Sirotkin Alexander V. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPhytotherapy can be an efficient tool for prevention and treatment of disorders including obesity. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize the available knowledge concerning the positive effects of peppers (Capsicum spp.) and their alkaloid capsaicin on human health, in particular on fat and obesity. Search for literature was performed in Medline/Pubmed, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases between the year 2000 and 2023. Words used to search were pepper, Capsicum, capsaicin, review, obesity, fat, weight loss and mechanisms. The available data demonstrate that both pepper extract and capsaicin can positively influence human health and treat several disorders. Moreover, they can reduce fat storage affecting brain centres responsible for the sensation of hunger, nutrient uptake by gastrointestinal tract, state of adipocytes, increase in carbohydrate and fat oxidation, metabolism and thermogenesis and other mechanisms. Therefore, despite some possible limitations, these substances could be useful for treatment of obesity.

Authors: Essobiyou Tamassi Bertrand , Ouedraogo Samuel Salem Laurent , Diendere Pegwende Rachid Cedric , Labou Albert Kossi , Issa Mohamed , Sakiye Kodjo Abossisso 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Introduction
and importance: Encapsulating peritonitis is a chronic and rare condition of the peritoneum. Most often secondary, it can occur idiopathically without any predictive factor. The diagnosis is often delayed and the management is not codified. The authors report a case of encapsulating peritonitis in a patient in a hospital in Togo. Their case highlights the diagnostic difficulties that can arise with encapsulated peritonitis.

Case presentation
a 46-year-old female patient with a history of transient abdominal pain was admitted to an emergency with acute intestinal obstruction. A laparotomy was indicated. Intraoperatively, it was discovered that there was an agglutination of coats covered by a thin membrane. The surgical procedure consisted of adhesiolysis with the release of the loops. The fibrous nature of the membrane on histology and the negativity of the etiological examinations allowed the diagnosis to be retained.

Clinical discussion
This is the result of a chronic attack on the peritoneum. In the majority of cases, it is said to be secondary because it occurs in a known evocative context. However, idiopathic cases have been reported. The disease has an insidious course making its diagnosis difficult. The disease is associated with a high mortality rate even under treatment, which reflects its severity. There is no consensus on the therapeutic management of this disease.

Conclusion
Encapsulating peritonitis is a rare and serious disease with a difficult diagnosis and complex management. There is no consensus on the therapeutic management of this disease.

Emergency partial splenectomy for splenic ectopic pregnancy: A rare case report
Authors: Van Kien Quach , Dam Quynh Lien , Tong Quang Hieu , Pham Quang Thai , Thai Ðuc An , Tuan Vu Hong 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Introduction and importance
Ectopic pregnancy can occur in many locations such as the fallopian tube, cervical, ovary or the abdomen. Splenic ectopic pregnancy (SEP) which is rarely reported in the literature, is a very dangerous condition because the spleen capsule is very thin and the spleen parenchyma is rich in blood vessels.

Presentation of case
A 40-year-old woman, gravida 2, Para 2, had not menstruated for 37 days, presented in the emergency department with a chief complaint of vaginal bleeding and mild hypogastric pain for 1 week. Her serum Beta-human gonadotropin (β-HCG) level was 34279 IU/L. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a homogeneous echogenic structure in the upper pole parenchyma of the spleen, measuring 46 × 48 mm in diameter, containing the gestational sac and embryonal heart rate. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass located in the upper pole of the spleen. Partial splenectomy was successfully and safely performed.

Clinical discussion
Surgical treatment of SEP is indicated for symptomatic or having a fetal heart rate or an elevated β-HCG level >30000 IU/L. The surgical methods are total splenectomy, laparoscopically injecting Methotrexate. This is the first case of partial splenectomy in the treatment of SEP.

Conclusion
Diagnosis of splenic ectopic pregnancy is mainly based on clinical and abdominal ultrasound. MRI may be indicated in cases when the patient arrives early and helps to identify the location of the lesion. Partial splenectomy is indicated when the ectopic pregnancy mass is located at one splenic pole.

Output constrained neural adaptive control for a class of KKVs with non-affine inputs and unmodeled dynamics
Authors: Ning X. , Liu J. , Wang Z. , Luo C. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this paper, an adaptive neural output-constrained control algorithm is proposed for a class of non-affine kinetic kill vehicle (KKV) systems. The key point is that the non-affine control law can be designed and the output of the KKV system conform to the output limit with the aid of the proposed method. Due to the aerodynamic moments, the actual control torque is non-affine, which can be addressed by introducing an integral process to the design of the controller. Besides, in order to improve the control precision, a nonlinear mapping is put forward so that the output constraint can be transformed to the constraint of the introduced dynamic signal that can be simply achieved. From the simulation results it can be concluded that the states of the KKV system can track the desired trajectories in spite of different working conditions and the control precision is higher compared with other control methods.
“From Nares to Wound: Exploring the mechanisms for Staphylococcal surgical site infections, implications for infection prevention”
Authors: Troeman Darren P. R. , Kluytmans Jan A. J. W. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are important healthcare-associated infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality, healthcare costs, and prolonged hospital stays. Staphylococcus aureus is an important and common microbial cause of SSI. Nasal carriage of S. aureus has been shown to be an important determinant for the development of SSI, and interventions aimed at eradicating preoperative nasal carriage are associated with a reduced risk of infection. Yet, it is not entirely clear how the nasally residing S. aureus causes SSI at distant body sites. In this commentary, we describe our view on how S. aureus can be transported from the nares to the incision site during surgery. In addition, we shed light on the implications of our view for infection prevention research.
EXTENDED FRAMES AND SEPARATIONS OF LOGICAL PRINCIPLES

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe aim at developing a systematic method of separating omniscience principles by constructing Kripke models for intuitionistic predicate logic
$\mathbf {IQC}$
and first-order arithmetic
$\mathbf {HA}$
from a Kripke model for intuitionistic propositional logic
$\mathbf {IPC}$
. To this end, we introduce the notion of an extended frame, and show that each IPC-Kripke model generates an extended frame. By using the extended frame generated by an IPC-Kripke model, we give a separation theorem of a schema from a set of schemata in
$\mathbf {IQC}$
and a separation theorem of a sentence from a set of schemata in
$\mathbf {HA}$
. We see several examples which give us separations among omniscience principles.
INTERLEAVING LOGIC AND COUNTING
Authors: VAN BENTHEM JOHAN , ICARD THOMAS 
Published: July 2023

AbstractReasoning with quantifier expressions in natural language combines logical and arithmetical features, transcending strict divides between qualitative and quantitative. Our topic is this cooperation of styles as it occurs in common linguistic usage and its extension into the broader practice of natural language plus ‘grassroots mathematics’.We begin with a brief review of
$\mathsf {FO}(\#)$
, first-order logic with counting operators and cardinality comparisons. This system is known to be of very high complexity, and drowns out finer aspects of the combination of logic and counting. We therefore move to a small fragment that can represent numerical syllogisms and basic reasoning about comparative size: monadic first-order logic with counting,
$\mathsf {MFO}(\#)$
. We provide normal forms that allow for axiomatization, determine which arithmetical notions can be defined on finite and on infinite models, and conversely, we discuss which logical notions can be defined out of purely arithmetical ones, and what sort of (non-)classical logics can be induced.Next, we investigate a series of strengthenings of
$\mathsf {MFO}(\#)$
, again using normal form methods. The monadic second-order version is close, in a precise sense, to additive Presburger Arithmetic, while versions with the natural device of tuple counting take us to Diophantine equations, making the logic undecidable. We also define a system
$\mathsf {ML}(\#)$
that combines basic modal logic over binary accessibility relations with counting, needed to formulate ubiquitous reasoning patterns such as the Pigeonhole Principle. We prove decidability of
$\mathsf {ML}(\#)$
, and provide a new kind of bisimulation matching the expressive power of the language.As a complement to the fragment approach pursued here, we also discuss two other ways of lowering the complexity of
$\mathsf {FO}(\#)$
by changing the semantics of counting in natural ways. A first approach replaces cardinalities by abstract but well-motivated values of ‘mass’ or other mereological aggregating notions. A second approach keeps the cardinalities but generalizes the meaning of counting to work in models that allow dependencies between variables.Finally, we return to our starting point in natural language, confronting the architecture of our formal systems with linguistic quantifier vocabulary and syntax, as well as with natural reasoning modules such as the monotonicity calculus. In addition to these encounters with formal semantics, we discuss the role of counting in semantic evaluation procedures for quantifier expressions and determine, for instance, which binary quantifiers are computable by finite ‘semantic automata’. We conclude with some general thoughts on yet further entanglements of logic and counting in formal systems, on rethinking the qualitative/quantitative divide, and on connecting our analysis to empirical findings in cognitive science.
Broad effects of shallow understanding: Explaining an unrelated phenomenon exposes the illusion of explanatory depth
Authors: Meyers Ethan A. , Gretton Jeremy D. , Budge Joshua R. C. , Fugelsang Jonathan A. , Koehler Derek J. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
People often overestimate their understanding of how things work. For instance, people believe that they can explain even ordinary phenomena such as the operation of zippers and speedometers in greater depth than they really can. This is called the illusion of explanatory depth. Fortunately, a person can expose the illusion by attempting to generate a causal explanation for how the phenomenon operates (e.g., how a zipper works). This might be because explanation makes salient the gaps in a person’s knowledge of that phenomenon. However, recent evidence suggests that people might be able to expose the illusion by instead explaining a different phenomenon. Across three preregistered experiments, we tested whether the process of explaining one phenomenon (e.g., how a zipper works) would lead someone to report knowing less about a completely different phenomenon (e.g., how snow forms). In each experiment, we found that attempting to explain one phenomenon led participants to report knowing less about various phenomena. For example, participants reported knowing less about how snow forms after attempting to explain how a zipper works. We discuss alternative accounts of the illusion of explanatory depth that might better fit our results. We also consider the utility of explanation as an indirect, non-confrontational debiasing method in which a person generalizes a feeling of ignorance about one phenomenon to their knowledge base more generally.
ARISTOTLE AND THE PAIN OF ANIMALS: NICOMACHEAN ETHICS 1154B7–9
Authors: Cheng Wei 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper explains the motivation behind Aristotle's appeal in Nicomachean Ethics 1154b7–9 to the physiologoi who notoriously declare that animals are constantly in pain. It argues that the physiologoi are neither the critical target of this chapter nor invoked to verify Aristotle's commitment to the imperfection of the human condition. Rather, despite doctrinal disagreement, they help Aristotle develop a naturalistic story about how ordinary people easily indulge in sensory pleasures.
AGRIPPINA'S (UN-)AUGUSTAN ANGER: TACITUS, ANNALS 12.22.3 AND OVID, TRISTIA 2.127
Authors: Joseph Timothy A. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBook 12 of Tacitus’ Annals spotlights the ascent of Agrippina, the new wife of Claudius and mother of Nero, to the heights of power in imperial Rome. This paper examines how Tacitus deepens and complicates that characterization through an allusion to Ovid's depiction of Augustus in Tristia Book 2. The allusion, coming in Ann. 12.22 as Agrippina is consolidating her power, serves to cast her as a figure of awesome anger and authority on a par with Augustus himself, but also as lacking the ability Augustus had to put limits on that anger. The allusion thus underscores the Annals’ broader arc of the unruly collapse of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, while at the same time revealing the deftness of the historian of the Julio-Claudians at continuing and complicating the themes of the famed poet of Augustus.
GEOGRAPHY AND THE REFORM OF THE COMITIA CENTVRIATA
Authors: Tan James 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article examines the reform of the comitia centuriata in the mid to late third century b.c.e. This involved demoting in voting order the six most prestigious cavalry centuries, distributing the centuries of the first class two per tribe, and assigning one tribe's iuniores to vote first as the centuria praerogatiua. The article argues that this gave more equitable representation to rich citizens from more distant parts of Roman territory, but still preserved the essential military character of the assembly by ensuring that the serving men voted first in any election for consuls and praetors.
