Staying alert with polyhydramnios; an Ondine syndrome case
Authors: Pellisé-Tintoré Maria , Paltrinieri Anna Lucia , Abulí Anna , Murillo Elena , Serrano Ariana , Albaigés Gerard 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Amniotic fluid is essential for proper fetal development. In the case of severe polyhydramnios associated with low fetal growth, a number of different underlying disorders must be considered. One such condition is congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) or Ondine’s curse, a rare genetic disease caused by mutation of the PHOX2B gene. The incidence of CCHS is estimated to be 1 case in 200,000 live births. No publications have been made to date on the intrauterine period findings. This precludes an early intrauterine diagnosis and impedes ethically responsible therapeutic options.

Case presentation
A 37-year-old patient presented in her second pregnancy with a small for gestation fetus and severe polyhydramnios evidenced in the third trimester ultrasound (US) study. There were no previous signs of maternal diabetes or fetal abnormalities at US. During the immediate postpartum period, the newborn presented repeated apneas with cyanosis and hypo-responsiveness. Neonatal arterial blood gas testing revealed severe respiratory acidosis requiring orotracheal intubation and admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Over the following days, all imaging and functional test findings were within normal ranges. A de novo pathogenic PHOX2B variant was identified.

Conclusions
Despite a high mortality rate, no neurological sequelae or other systemic diseases were recorded, thanks to multidisciplinary and coordinated follow-up.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Emulsification is the effect of a liquid being uniformly dispersed as tiny droplets in another liquid that is immiscible. Traditional emulsification requires the addition of suitable surfactant to stabilize the emulsion. When the surfactant molecules are replaced by solid particles, the emulsion is known as Pickering emulsions (PEs). PEs with dispersed phase volume fraction above 74% are also named high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs). The use of solid particles of natural origin allows PEs to be highly physically stable, environmentally compatible, and biodegradable compared to traditional emulsions. Among them, protein-based solid particles are well suited to stabilize PEs for their great emulsification properties and nutritional value. In this article, we reviewed the preparation of different forms of proteins and their emulsion stabilization properties and summarized the applications of protein-based PEs in various fields, including food, biomedicine, porous materials, biodegradable packaging films, sewage treatment, 3D printing, etc.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
ZnFe photocatalysts have been increasingly investigated for water remediation due to the high demands in this field, such as activity, toxicity, cost, and stability. The presented study was focused on the simple, safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly synthesis and characterization of ZnFe-mixed metal oxides in correlation with their functional properties. Photocatalytic performance of these materials was evaluated by rhodamine B photodegradation under simulated solar light irradiation. The synthesized mixed oxides contained hexagonal wurtzite ZnO as the predominant phase, whereas, after thermal treatment, the formation of the spinel-structured ZnFe2O4 phase was observed. The photocatalysts with the additional spinel phase and thermally treated at 300°C and 500°C exhibited superior photocatalytic activity probably due to the highest amount of the ZnFe2O4 spinel phase, favourable mesoporous structure, and an optimal energy band gap of ∼2.30 eV that initiated higher light-harvesting efficiency. The rhodamine B photodegradation followed zero-order kinetics, indicating complete coverage of active sites by the pollutant substrate. Additionally, photocatalysts showed the highest efficiency at the natural pH (6.8), being in accordance with green synthesis principles. Simple, green route assembling synthesis method, high photodegradation efficiency, and good reusability make these ZnFe-mixed oxides great candidates for potential application in practical wastewater treatments.
Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis of idiopathic central precocious puberty in pediatric females in New York City
Authors: Baby Merilyn , Ilkowitz Jeniece , Cheema Brar Preneet 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic had profound effect on physical and mental health. Stress was due physical inactivity, increased screen time, social isolation, fear of illness/death, as well as relative lack of resources including healthy food and finances. These stressors may be associated with an increase in idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP).

Objectives
To assess the incidence of ICPP in females during the COVID-19 pandemic and compare biochemical and radiological parameters of females diagnosed in the previous two years, looking at associations among BMI, screen time, isolation, and stress in relation to the development of early puberty.

Methods
A retrospective chart review was performed of females diagnosed with ICPP. We divided subjects into a pandemic group and pre-pandemic group based on time of diagnosis. We compared anthropometric, serologic and radiologic data between the two groups. To assess psychosocial stress, we reviewed a COVID-19 impact survey which was administered to families at our endocrine clinic.

Results
There were a total of 56 subjects in the study; 23 subjects in the pre-pandemic group and 33 in the pandemic group. The pandemic cohort had significantly higher estradiol and LH levels and larger ovarian volumes. Survey results showed parental report of stress was moderate in 38 % of subjects and severe in 25 % of parents. In children, reported stress was moderate in 46 % of subjects.

Conclusions
As puberty is influenced by exogenous factors including weight gain and psychosocial stress, we suspect that the environmental stress surrounding the pandemic influenced the increase in ICPP.

Abstract
Most soybean farming in Indonesia is still performed conventionally. Farmers are less interested in cultivating soybeans because the production yields are relatively small. This research aims to determine the factors influencing production, production inefficiency of soybean, and the technical efficiency (TE) and economic efficiency (EE) level of soybean farming. Primary data were collected using a survey method of soybean farmers in paddy field areas in the Tabanan Regency of Bali Province, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the stochastic frontier approach using the Frontier 4.1 analysis tool. Factors that positively affected the increasing soybean production were land area, urea and NPK fertilizers, and soybean seeds. The factor positively affecting soybean production inefficiency was a farming experience. The average TE value was 0.77, implying that soybean farming in the study area was efficient. However, the EE value below 0.70 implied that soybean farming was inefficient. Based on soybean farmers’ farming experience, TE and EE values were getting lower. The low value of EE was suspected of causing farmers’ low interest in cultivating soybean.

Authors: Sun Wenwen , Xia Huifang 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
To study the control optimization of conical interference connection system for large piston compressor, the reliability optimization and reliability optimization design of conical interference connection were systematically described. By using the proposed method, the maximum operating reliability can be obtained under the condition of constant interference joint size, namely, reliability optimization. Alternatively, the desired working reliability can be designed into the mating connection by optimizing parameters (combining size and interference), namely, reliability optimization design. Design value of 2.12 compression ratio is significantly higher than the unit level. As a result, the mid-stage exhaust temperature of the unit is as high as 124°C, and it is in high temperature operation state. It has been proved that conical interference connection is widely used in hydraulic transmission device because of its advantages of simple structure, reliable operation, and ability to bear certain impact load, reliable transmission torque than general connection, and convenient assembly and disassembly and has been proved to be reliable in practice.
The Temporal Relationships between the Pluscuamperfecto andmientras+ Imperfecto
Authors: Egetenmeyer Jakob 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis paper analyzes the temporal relationship between a pluperfect verb in a main clause and a following subordinate clause introduced bymientras(‘while’) with an imperfect verb. The specific lexical and aspectual properties of the components lead to clashing expectations concerning the temporal relationship within the structure. The issues are three-fold. First, the subordinating conjunction lexically expresses the co-temporality of the subordinate clause with regard to another eventuality. Second, this may be possible when the pluperfect verb has an eventive reading, but what happens if it asserts a post-state? Third, the widely recognized discourse structural description (coming from DRT) of an imperfect verb is that its location time includes a previously introduced reference time. However, in traditional terms, the reference time involved in the meaning of a pluperfect verb is posterior to the event the pluperfect verb expresses. We address these issues and present a dataset collected from various corpora which underlines that the temporal relationships within the structure show a surprising variability. We discuss the different possibilities in depth, taking Aktionsart and subject reference into account. We also focus on the theoretical issue of the concept of reference time. On the basis of our data, and counter to the traditional approach, we argue that a temporal discourse structure should account for pluperfect verbs by means of secondary reference times.
Phonetic Context, Task Formality, Learner Level, and Orthographic Effects in L2 Spanish Palatal Obstruents
Authors: Tight Daniel G. , Vigil Donny A. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe current study investigates pronunciation of Spanish <ll> and <y> by intermediate L1 English learners of L2 Spanish (N = 31). Third- (n = 17) and fifth-semester (n = 14) learners completed read-aloud and picture-naming tasks. Each contained items with <ll> and <y> in stressed position after pause or nasal, and in unstressed intervocalic position. Recordings were made and analyzed with PRAAT. First, target segments were categorized based on spectrographic evidence (e.g., contour and intensity of formants, frication, burst) and aural review. Subsequently, intensity differences between the target segments and following vowel were computed. Results show minimal production of affricates/stops, even in contexts favoring them in some dialects (i.e., stressed position after pause, nasal). Nevertheless, both learner levels did produce significantly more constricted sounds in this context than in unstressed position between vowels, as measured by both analyses, with post-pausal position leading to the greatest constriction. Significant effects also emerged for letter, with <ll> more frequently deleted or pronounced as a lateral, and for task, with the more formal task leading to greater constriction in the first analysis. No significant difference emerged based on learner level.
Voice and swallowing symptoms after thyroid surgery assessed using the ThyVoice online platform
Authors: Mihai Radu 
Published: April 2023

Objective
The aim of this multicentre study was to investigate the progression of patient-reported outcomes after thyroid surgery, with emphasis on voice and swallowing difficulties.

Methods
An online platform was used to collect replies to standardised questionnaires (voice handicap index, VHI; voice-related quality of life, VrQoL; EAT-10) preoperatively and at 2–6 weeks and 3–6–12 months after surgery.

Results
A total of 236 patients were recruited from five centres that contributed with median of 11 cases (range 2–186 cases). Average symptoms scores showed voice changes lasting up to 3 months: VHI increased from 41 ± 15 (preop) to 48 ± 21 (6 weeks) and returned to 41 ± 15 at 6 months. Similarly, VrQoL increased from 12 ± 4 to 15 ± 6 and returned to 12 ± 4 (6 months). Severe voice changes (VHI > 60) were reported in 12% of patients preop, 22% at 2 weeks, 18% at 6 weeks, 13% at 3 months and 7% at 12 months. Only five patients with normal preoperative voice had persistent severe voice changes after 6–12 months. Those with severe voice changes at 2 weeks (median VHI 70.5, IQR 65–81) had significant improvement by 6 months (median VHI 54, IQR 39–65) (P < 0.001).
Swallowing assessment showed a median preop score of 0 (IQR 0–3) increasing to a median of 2 (IQR 0–8) at 2 weeks and normal values afterwards.

Conclusion
The ThyVoice online platform allows the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures in thyroid surgery. Voice morbidity appears to be more frequent than commonly reported, and this risk should the quoted during informed consent. Swallowing difficulties are mild but significant in the first 2 weeks.
Efecto de la adición de citrato de sodio sobre las propiedades reológicas y nutricionales del surimi de calamar gigante (Dosidicus gigas)
Authors: Escobedo F. , Pariona-Velarde D. , Ayala M. , Maza-Ramírez S. 
Published: April 2023

Se evaluaron las propiedades reológicas y nutricionales en surimi de calamar gigante o pota (Dosidicus gigas) elaborado mediante lixiviación ácida-salina y la generación de un coloide sol con citrato sódico. La aplicación de 0.25, 1.27, 2.0, 3.0 y 7.0% de citrato sódico produjo un coloide sol a partir de las proteínas miofibrilares de calamar gigante. La adición hasta 3.0% de citrato sódico presenta una correlación lineal positiva con las propiedades de dureza y fuerza, y a partir de 2.0% se produce un incremento directamente proporcional con los módulos de elasticidad del gel. La adición de citrato como crioprotector en el producto no mejoró el efecto protector durante el almacenamiento a -20 °C por 72 horas. El reemplazo de NaCl por citrato sódico mejoró la textura del surimi, cambio que en términos de alimentación saludable contribuye con la limpieza de la etiqueta nutricional del producto al reducir su contenido de sodio a 57.8% y no superar el límite de 800 mg/100 g de alimento sólido.

Urzędnicy sądowi departamentu / izby cywilnej Wileńskiego Sądu Głównego w latach 1802–1853
Authors: Kowalik Jolanta 
Published: April 2023

Lata zaborów to czas przemian zachodzących na terenach całej byłej Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów. W każdej części zaborowej zachodziły określone procesy asymilacyjne z okupującymi je państwami. Unifikacja administracji państwowej na ziemiach polskich wcielonych do Rosji postępowała etapowo. Stosunkowo najdłużej przebiegała w systemie prawnym i administracji sądowej. Decyzją Katarzyny II w guberni wileńskiej najważniejszym źródłem prawa pozostał III Statut Litewski, językiem urzędowym nadal był polski, a szlachta zbierała się co trzy lata na sejmiki elekcyjne w celu wyłonienia kandydatów na urzędy ziemskie. Zasady te potwierdzali kolejni carowie zasiadający na rosyjskim tronie. Nieuchronne zmiany w wymiarze sprawiedliwości zaszły za panowania Mikołaja I, a do całkowitego zniesienia polsko-litewskich norm prawnych w guberniach zachodnich doszło ostatecznie w 1840 r.
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prześledzenie składu personalnego urzędników departamentu cywilnego (następnie izby cywilnej) Wileńskiego Sądu Głównego oraz nakreślenie ich portretu zbiorowego. W analizie będą brane pod uwagę: pochodzenie, wykształcenie, wyznanie, majątek, przebieg kariery, otrzymane nagrody oraz osiągnięte stopnie awansu według obowiązującej w Cesarstwie Rosyjskim tabeli rang. Interpretacja zebranego materiału pozwoli także na prześledzenie procesów zachodzących w sądownictwie guberni wileńskiej pod wpływem zmieniającej się sytuacji politycznej, wynikającej z postępującej rusyfikacji.
MAHLAS BEYİTLERİNDEN HAREKETLE LEYLA HANIM DİVANI’NDA BENLİK ALGISI VE BENLİK SAYGISI
Authors: TILFARLIOĞLU Musa 
Published: April 2023

Kişinin kendisini değerlendirme ve tanıma biçimi olan benlik/kendilik kavramı Kur’an-ı Kerim ve Arap dilinde nefs, Batı dillerinde ise “self, ego” sözcükleri ile karşılanmaktadır. Birçok tanımı olan benlik kavramı; genel olarak insanın kendi kişiliğine ait düşüncelerinin toplamı, kişinin kendisini diğerlerinden ayırt etme ve değerlendirme biçimidir. İnsanın kendisine karşı beslediği çeşitli duygulardan meydana gelir. Benlik kavramını oluşturan bu duygular arasında benlik saygısı/izzet-i nefs, üstünlük/aşağılık, şeref/haysiyet vb. duygular yer almaktadır.
Hayatın bütün yönlerini aktarma imkânı sunan şiir kendisini kaleme alan şairin hayatını ve kendini anlatmasına da olanak sağlamaktadır. Özellikle bu manzumelerin mahlas beyitleri, şairlerin benlikleri ve benlik saygıları ile çok önemli ipuçları barındırır. Ayrıca mahlas beyitleri şairlerin sadece kendi duygu ve düşüncelerini değil, gerçekleri dile getirdikleri bölüm olarak da dikkat çekmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra mahlas beyitleri şairlerin doğrudan kendilerine has duygu, düşünce, algılama ve yorumlarını ortaya koydukları bölümdür.
19. yüzyılda yaşamış divan şairleri önemli bir yere sahip olan Leyla Hanım aynı zaman da altı yüz yıllık divan şiiri geleneği içerisinde divan sahibi olan az sayıda kadın şairlerden biri olduğu için edebiyat tarihimiz içerisinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Konu ve üslup bakımından zarif şiirler kaleme alan şiirler kaleme alan Leyla Hanım’ın şiirleri aynı zamanda sade ve akıcı bir dille sahiptir. Şiirleri konu ve ifade bakımından da zariftir. Divan şiiri geleneği içerisinde şiirler kaleme alan şair, kimi zaman gelenek dışına çıkarak kendisine özgü söyleyişler dile getirmiştir. Şairin kaleme almış olduğu manzumelerin mahlas beyitlerinde benlik ve benlik saygısı ile ilgili düşüncelerini dile getirdiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Leyla Hanım’ın kaleme aldığı manzumelerin mahlas beyitlerinden hareketle benlik algısı ve benlik saygısı açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.
