Objective Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis reduces cesarean wound complications. This study investigates whether integration of standard-dose (500 mg) azithromycin prophylaxis reduced wound complications in patients with class III obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40 kg/m2) undergoing unscheduled cesarean delivery.
Study Design Retrospective cohort study of patients with class III obesity undergoing unscheduled cesarean delivery in single hospital system from January 1, 2017, to January 1, 2020. A standard dose (500 mg) of azithromycin was integrated into system order sets in 2018. Medical history and postoperative wound outcomes were compared in pre- and postintegration cohorts. Wound complication was defined as composite of wound seroma, hematoma, superficial or deep infection.
Results A total of 1,273 patients met inclusion criteria, 303 patients in the preorder set group, and 970 patients in the postorder set group. Demographics were similar between the pre- and postintegration cohorts, including BMI (median: 44.4 kg/m2, p = 0.84) and weight at delivery (mean: 121.2 ± 17.8 kg, p = 0.57). Patients in the postintegration cohort had lower rates of composite postpartum wound complication (7.9 vs. 13.9%, p = 0.002), superficial infection or deep infection/abscess (6.7 vs. 10.2%, p = 0.042), and postpartum readmission or unscheduled visits (18.7 vs. 24.4%, p < 0.029). Rates of chorioamnionitis and endometritis were similar between the pre- and postintegration groups (8.6 vs. 6.9%, p = 0.33, and 1.7 vs. 1.9%, p = 0.81, respectively). Patients in the postintegration cohort had lower risk of postoperative composite wound complication (unadjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.54, confidence interval [CI]: 0.36–0.80, p = 0.002) and lower rates of wound infection (unadjusted OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40–0.99, p = 0.044). When comparing patients who received azithromycin at delivery and patients who did not, standard-dose azithromycin reduced risk of postoperative wound complication (unadjusted OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.46–0.99, p = 0.043).
Conclusion A standard dose of azithromycin provides adequate perioperative prophylaxis in class III obese patients, decreasing rates of postcesarean wound complications and unscheduled postpartum outpatient visits.

Abstract
Latinx who do not feel confident speaking Spanish are usually questioned. To fight these ideologies, Pascual and Cabo and Prada (2018) suggest new pedagogical approaches to incorporate in the curriculum the experiences of the heritage language learner (HLL). Latinx in higher education expect a culturally relevant curriculum to critically listen and speak to challenge the hierarchies that marginalize them. Why is social justice education key? To meet the needs of our minority students and to fight social inequities that affect their lives (Freire, 2021). This article offers a proposal to teach social justice in the HLL classroom through classroom strategies such as digital stories, autoethnographies, creative writing, or oral history to provide these students with the tools they need to give voice to their communities and incorporate them in the curriculum of an inclusive Spanish classroom whose backbone is US Spanish to fight raciolinguistic ideologies that marginalize them.
The localization of food- and drink-related items in video games
Authors: Al-Batineh Mohammed 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This study examines the localization of food- and drink-related items in The Witcher 3 (2015). It
analyzes the original English and Arabic versions using the corpus approach. A list of food- and drink-related lexemes was
extracted from the English original game and these lexemes were traced to their context in the English and Arabic versions using
the concordance function in Sketch Engine. The concordance analysis focused on the translation strategies adopted to localize
food- and drink-related lexemes into Arabic and on the success of the translation in the socio-cultural and religious contexts of
the target culture. The data reveals that foreign food-related terms are mostly domesticated, whereas drink-related terms are
foreignized. The findings of this study suggest that foreignization strategies can be used for localization purposes to create a
target video game that minimizes the cultural gaps between the source and target cultures and provides a less disruptive gaming
experience.
The Middle English prepositional dative
Authors: Ingham Richard P. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The to-PP form of the dative alternation is
argued to have arisen from contact with French rather than being linked to
the loss of the Old English Dative case. It is shown to have been extended
in ME to the experiencer argument of psych verbs, and to the recipient
argument of some verbs of communication, but only to those whose French
counterparts took the à-dative, regardless of OE case
assignment. Where French equivalents of verbs in these classes did not take
an indirect object, the Middle English verb took only a nominal object.
Selectivity in to-PP use in ME, going beyond verbs of
possession transfer yet showing a verb-specific restriction to source item
argument realisation patterns, indicates that French provided a replication
source for the to-PP form of the dative alternation.
Ditransitive constructions in the history of German
Authors: Rauth Philipp 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In modern Standard German, the base order of direct and indirect
full noun objects in the ‘Mittelfeld’ is considered to be IO>DO.
Deviation from this order is influenced by various linguistic factors such
as prosody, complexity, syntactic structure, animacy, definiteness, and
information structure. Does this also hold for dialectal and historical
varieties of German? In order to answer this question, I present results of
a comprehensive diachronic corpus study (8th–20th century) on the
significance of these factors, which in sum involved about 2,100 instances
of ditransitives. My data shows that, at least since the 11th century,
information structure has been the most important and stable factor for the
inversion of the base order: A given or more salient DO significantly
increases the likelihood for DO>IO. However, IO>DO remains the
predominant order throughout the history of German.
A versatile approach for the immobilization of lead-free Cs3Bi2I9 perovskites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction
Authors: Quintero-Lizárraga Oscar L , Luévano-Hipólito Edith , Torres-Martínez Leticia M 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This work proposes a novel approach to immobilize the lead-free bismuth halide perovskite Cs3Bi2I9 in mica and cellular porous concrete supports. The perovskites were evaluated as visible-light active photocatalysts in the CO2 reduction to generate HCOOH with high energy conversion efficiencies. The approach ensured the material’s stability exposed to an aqueous medium under visible light irradiation. According to the results, the Cs3Bi2I9 particles exhibited a different morphology depending on the support used; its growth on mica favored the formation of well-defined hexagonal particles. Meanwhile, the porous concrete favored the formation of needle-like particles. Also, the optical characterization indicated that when the Cs3Bi2I9 particles grew as a thin film, their surface energy seemed higher, favoring the formation of layered structures related to the lattice defects. On the other hand, the concrete cellular offers a porous interconnected network, an excellent medium to encapsulate the Cs3Bi2I9 particles. These properties favored the formation of 2,570 µmol of HCOOH in the steady state with an energy conversion efficiency of up to 24.3%, which is higher than the required value to scale up the process. The analysis of the perovskite after the reaction revealed that the sample maintains its properties, and it shows the growth of flake-like particles on top of hexagonal particles, which eventually participate in the photocatalytic reaction. Also, it was demonstrated that the approach implemented here favored high thermal stability of the Cs3Bi2I9 perovskite.
Transport across junctions of altermagnets with normal metals and ferromagnets
Authors: Das Sachchidanand , Suri Dhavala , Soori Abhiram 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAltermagnet (AM) is a novel time reversal symmetry broken magnetic phase withd-wave order which has been experimentally realized recently. We discuss theoretical models of AM based systems on lattice and in continuum. We show equivalence between the lattice and continuum models by mapping the respective parameters. We study (i) AM-normal metal and (ii) AM-ferromagnet (FM) junctions, with the aim to quantify transport properties such as conductivity and magnetoresistance. We find that a spin current accompanies charge current when a bias is applied. The magnetoresistance of AM-FM junction switches sign when AM is rotated by 90∘—a feature unique to the altermagnetic phase.
Band engineering enhances thermoelectric performance of Ag-doped Sn0.98Se

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Ag doping can effectively increase the carrier concentration of p-type SnSe polycrystalline, thereby enhancing the thermoelectric (TE) performance. However, the key role of the transport valence band in Ag-doped SnSe remains unclear. Particularly, understanding the influence of evaluating the optimal balance between band convergence and carrier mobility on weighted mobility is a primary consideration in designing high-performance TE materials. Here, we strongly confirm through theoretical and experimental evidence that Ag-doped Sn0.98Se can promote the evolution of valence bands and achieve band convergence and density of states distortion. The significantly increased carrier concentration and effective mass result in a dramatic increase in weighted mobility, which favors the achievement of superior power factors. Furthermore, the Debye model reveals the reasons for the evolution of lattice thermal conductivity. Eventually, a superior average power factor and average zT value are obtained in the Ag-doped samples in both directions over the entire test temperature range. This strategy of improving TE performance through band engineering provides an effective way to advance TEs.
Network dynamics with higher-order interactions: coupled cell hypernetworks for identical cells and synchrony
Authors: Aguiar Manuela , Bick Christian , Dias Ana 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Network interactions that are nonlinear in the state of more than two nodes—also known as higher-order interactions—can have a profound impact on the collective network dynamics. Here we develop a coupled cell hypernetwork formalism to elucidate the existence and stability of (cluster) synchronization patterns in network dynamical systems with higher-order interactions. More specifically, we define robust synchrony subspace for coupled cell hypernetworks whose coupling structure is determined by an underlying hypergraph and describe those spaces for general such hypernetworks. Since a hypergraph can be equivalently represented as a bipartite graph between its nodes and hyperedges, we relate the synchrony subspaces of a hypernetwork to balanced colourings of the corresponding incidence digraph.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of improving the image quality and accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) by replacing the conventional wide cone angle x-ray tube with a distributed x-ray source array positioned in the axial direction. Approach. The multisource CBCT (ms-CBCT) design was experimentally simulated using a benchtop scanner with a carbon nanotube x-ray tube and a flat-panel detector. The source was collimated and translated in the axial direction to simulate a source array with a reduced cone angle for each beam. An adjacent scatter ratio subtraction (ASRS) method was implemented for residual scatter reduction. Several phantoms were imaged using the ms-CBCT and conventional CBCT configurations under otherwise similar conditions. The Requirements of the ms-CBCT design on the x-ray source and detector were evaluated. Main results. Compared to the conventional CBCT, the ms-CBCT design with 8 sources and ASRS significantly improved the image quality and accuracy, including: (1) reducing the cupping artifact from 15% to 3.5%; (2) reducing the spatial nonuniformity of the CT Hounsfield unit values from 38.0 to 9.2; (3) improving the contrast-to-noise ratio of the low contrast objects (acrylic and low density polyethylene inserts) against the water-equivalent background by ∼20% and (4) reducing the root-mean-square error of the HU values by 70%, from 420.1 to 124.4. The imaging dose and scanning time used by the current clinical CBCT for maxillofacial imaging can be achieved by current source and detector technologies. Significance. The ms-CBCT design significantly reduces the scatter and improves the image quality and accuracy compared to the conventional CBCT.

Abstract
The work is devoted to the development of laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) of plasma-assisted processes for application under industrial conditions. The interpretation of the LAS measurements was revised by taking into consideration the temperature gradient along the absorption path, which is unavoidable in a reactor for thermochemical treatment. The revision is based on the measurement of

molecular lines in an industrial-scale, active screen plasma nitrocarburizing reactor with a steel active screen. It shows that an effective temperature determined from Doppler broadening could be assigned to each measured spectral line. The effective temperature does not only reflect the temperature gradients along the line-of-sight but also the line strength dependence on temperature for the specific spectroscopic transition. Lower limit estimates of the molecular densities are proposed based on the determined effective temperatures under the assumption of a Boltzmann distribution of the population density over the molecular levels at any local volume of the reactor. For a more accurate interpretation of LAS data of plasma-assisted processes, the spatial distribution of the temperature along line-of-sight has to be known and needs to be taken into account to obtain the molecular densities.
Mapping dynamical systems with distributed time delays to sets of ordinary differential equations
Authors: Henrik Nevermann Daniel , Gros Claudius 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Real-world dynamical systems with retardation effects are described in general not by a single, precisely defined time delay, but by a range of delay times. An exact mapping onto a set of N + 1 ordinary differential equations exists when the respective delay distribution is given in terms of a gamma distribution with discrete exponents. The number of auxiliary variables one needs to introduce, N, is inversely proportional to the variance of the delay distribution. The case of a single delay is therefore recovered when

. Using this approach, denoted here the ‘kernel series framework’, we examine systematically how the bifurcation phase diagram of the Mackey–Glass system changes under the influence of distributed delays. We find that local properties, f.i. the locus of a Hopf bifurcation, are robust against the introduction of broadened memory kernels. Period-doubling transitions and the onset of chaos, which involve non-local properties of the flow, are found in contrast to be more sensitive to distributed delays. In general, the observed effects are found to scale as

. Furthermore, we consider time-delayed systems exhibiting chaotic diffusion, which is present in particular for sinusoidal flows. We find that chaotic diffusion is substantially more pronounced for distributed delays. Our results indicate in consequence that modeling approaches of real-world processes should take the effects of distributed delay times into account.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Brown carbon (BrC) has a large impact on the Earth’s radiative balance. This study examined BrC’s optical characteristics, chemical functional groups, and total organic carbon (TOC) in deposited particulate matter from combustion of biomass, fossil fuels, and mosquito coil. A UV–vis spectrophotometer was used to assess BrC’s optical properties, a TOC analyzer was used to quantify TOC, and attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to identify functional group. The light absorption properties (absorption coefficient (babs-BrC), mass absorption efficiency (MAE365), absorption angstrom exponent (AAE), and refractive index (kabs-BrC)) were determined. Among biomasses, wheat straw exhibited the greatest value of babs-BrC (27.26 × 103 ± 4.09 × 103 Mm−1) whereas maize straw had the lowest value of babs-BrC (7.38 × 103 ± 1.11 × 103 Mm−1). A higher light absorption coefficient at 365 nm suggested that chromophores contributed more to the process. AAE followed this sequence - mosquito coil (5.46 ± 0.82) > biomass (5.13 ± 1.45) > fossil fuels (2.85 ± 0.32). The highest value of MAE365 (0.99 ± 0.15 m2 gC−1) and kabs-BrC (0.028 ± 0.004) was obtained in wheat straw, whereas the lowest value of MAE365 (0.07 ± 0.011 m2 gC−1) and kabs-BrC (0.002) was identified in octane. Biomasses samples showed a strong peak at ∼850, ∼1368, ∼1370, ∼1306, and near 1640 cm−1, indicating that the major component of BrC was organic nitrate R-ONO2 which is responsible to increase the light absorption properties. It also contains complex heterocyclic aromatic ring compounds, carbonyl group (C=O), and nitrogen-containing groups such as −NO
2, C≡N. The projected substantial contribution of BrC to overall light absorption is one illustration of the probable climatic effect of biomasses and fossil fuel burning in Southeast Asian region.

Abstract
In this work, a hetero-gate-oxide charge plasma-based nanowire transistor (HGO-CPNWT) has been proposed, characterized, and a comparative analysis with the conventional charge plasma-based nanowire transistor (CCPNWT) and the Stack-Gate-Oxide CPNWT (SGO-CPNWT) has been investigated. The effects of stacking a high-κ gate oxide with a low-κ gate oxide beneath the gate and segmenting the gate oxide with a high-κ oxide at the source side and low-κ oxide at the drain side have been analyzed with the short channel effects (SCEs) parameters and radio-frequency (RF)/analog figure of merits. The HGO-CPNWT demonstrates enhanced performances in terms of Ion/Ioff of 1.66 × 108, subthreshold slope (SS) of 65.74 mV/decade, drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of 47.857 mV/V, peak transconductance (g

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Digital electronics based on von Neumann’s architecture is reaching its limits to solve large-scale problems essentially due to the memory fetching. Instead, recent efforts to bring the memory near the computation have enabled highly parallel computations at low energy costs. Oscillatory neural network (ONN) is one example of in-memory analog computing paradigm consisting of coupled oscillating neurons. When implemented in hardware, ONNs naturally perform gradient descent of an energy landscape which makes them particularly suited for solving optimization problems. Although the ONN computational capability and its link with the Ising model are known for decades, implementing a large-scale ONN remains difficult. Beyond the oscillators’ variations, there are still design challenges such as having compact, programmable synapses and a modular architecture for solving large problem instances. In this paper, we propose a mixed-signal architecture named Saturated Kuramoto ONN (SKONN) that leverages both analog and digital domains for efficient ONN hardware implementation. SKONN computes in the analog phase domain while propagating the information digitally to facilitate scaling up the ONN size. SKONN’s separation between computation and propagation enhances the robustness and enables a feed-forward phase propagation that is showcased for the first time. Moreover, the SKONN architecture leads to unique binarizing dynamics that are particularly suitable for solving NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems such as finding the weighted Max-cut of a graph. We find that SKONN’s accuracy is as good as the Goemans–Williamson 0.878-approximation algorithm for Max-cut; whereas SKONN’s computation time only grows logarithmically. We report on Weighted Max-cut experiments using a 9-neuron SKONN proof-of-concept on a printed circuit board (PCB). Finally, we present a low-power 16-neuron SKONN integrated circuit and illustrate SKONN’s feed-forward ability while computing the XOR function.

Abstract
School-based mental health clinics are the ideal venue to provide mental health services for youth due to their accessibility and lack of stigma compared with other community treatment centers. There were challenges associated with the abrupt shift to remote education and clinic services caused by COVID-19, but some school-based mental health clinics excelled in their implementation of telehealth services. This study of New York schools found four main facilitators to implementing telehealth services among school-based mental health clinics: (1) strong collaborative relationships between the clinic and school setting, (2) active and responsive leadership, (3) provider experience in conducting telehealth, and (4) provider flexibility to accommodate the needs of children and families. Factors were identified at every level of the school-based mental health clinic and system that helped to facilitate exemplary telehealth service delivery and implementation.
