Abstract
Over the course of the seventeenth century, two representations of Stonehenge—one published in William Camden’s Britannia (1600) and the other in Inigo Jones’s Stone-heng Restored (1655)—were invoked repeatedly in an intensifying debate over the monument’s origins. This debate engaged both the virtuosi community of the Royal Society and members of the closely related, fledgling world of English architectural discourse, and the two representations became the common ground for both conversation and contestation. This paper traces the entangled afterlives of these two images, and argues that their reproduction and reinterpretation by members of natural history, antiquarian, and architectural communities created both discord and new, collective knowledge. Drawing on recent work exploring how images produced for divergent purposes and audiences were integrated into natural philosophical study, I explore how, through their reproduction, alteration, and recontextualization, these images functioned as tools of both division and mediation, and created space for debate and new investigation.
Vivescer: an Online Integral Teacher Development Platform – an Integral Education Case Study from Brazil
Authors: Esbjörn-Hargens Sean 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Brazil has a rich and distinct tradition of pioneering and promoting Integral Education at a national level. The roots of Integral Education in Brazil go all the way back to 1932 with their publication of the New Education Pioneers’ Manifesto. Building on Brazil’s own foundation in Integral Education, beginning in 2017 Instituto Peninsula a Brazilian non-profit undertook an ambitious multi-year project to develop an online teacher development platform. The goal of this platform was to service all of Brazil’s 150,000 public school teachers. This case study introduces this initiative and presents the unique Integral Education framework that was developed to guide the integral development and ongoing training of public-school teachers. This framework draws heavily on the Integral Education approach associated with Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory. It also incorporates Brazil’s own vision and practice of Integral Education. The framework uses four major learning paths (i.e., Body, Emotion, Mind, and Purpose) in four distinct domains (i.e., Experience, Behavior, Systems, Relationships) to generate a matrix of 16 core competencies for developing integral teachers. The success of this platform to date will be reviewed as well as an exploration of how this initiative can contribute to unique global expressions of Integral Education.
Family Tradition Theater

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Family Tradition Theater is the application of Integral Drama Based Pedagogy in community family education. Centered around the ancient wisdom of “Life of Harmony”, i.e., delight in way of life and admiration of harmony, the Family Tradition Theater incorporates the five ideas of Chinese family culture into five relationships to find the obstacles in these relationships and the ways to communicate. Specifically, they start with five core values of family culture – harmony, filial piety, faith, righteousness and propriety – the Theater guides audiences to see or realize the “viruses” in daily life, i.e., prejudice, complaint, unrealistic comparison, control, and scheming; remove these “viruses” through facing, introspecting, understanding, mastering, practicing, sharing, and growing; shape five spiritual accomplishments emotion, responsibility, rules, rationality and trust; and construct three major mindsets – perspectives of internality, relationship, and growth;
The Strategy of Connotative Development of Higher Education in China: a Policy Mapping Scope
Authors: Li Jian 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The history of higher education in China is considered as the history of continuously choosing a model of development. The higher education is always facing the problem of walking along the way of intension or extension at different stages of development. From the perspective of macro and micro, this study aims to explore the strategy of connotative development of higher education in China from a policy mapping scope. It plays a bigger and better function by adjusting or optimizing the structure, improving the level and quality under the background of keeping the scale of higher education system stable or growing slightly.

Abstract
The southwest monsoon delivers over 70% of India’s annual rainfall and is crucial to the success of agriculture across much of South Asia. Monsoon precipitation is known to be sensitive to sea surface temperature (SST) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Here, we use a configuration of the Unified Model of the Met Office coupled to an ocean mixed layer model to investigate the role of upper-ocean features in the BoB on southwest monsoon precipitation. We focus on the pronounced zonal and meridional SST gradients characteristic of the BoB; the zonal gradient in particular has an as-yet unknown effect on monsoon rainfall. We find that the zonal SST gradient is responsible for a 50% decrease in rainfall over the southern BoB (approximately 5 mm day−1), and a 50% increase in rainfall over Bangladesh and northern India (approximately 1 mm day−1). This increase is remotely forced by a strengthening of the monsoon Hadley circulation. The meridional SST gradient acts to decrease precipitation over the BoB itself, similarly to the zonal SST gradient, but does not have comparable effects over land. The impacts of barrier layers and high-salinity subsurface water are also investigated, but neither has significant effects on monsoon precipitation in this model; the influence of barrier layers on precipitation is felt in the months after the southwest monsoon. Models should accurately represent oceanic processes that directly influence BoB SST, such as the BoB cold pool, in order to faithfully represent monsoon rainfall.
Intensification of Hurricane Sally (2020) over the Mississippi River Plume

Abstract
Tropical Cyclone (TC) Sally formed on 11 September 2020, traveled through the Gulf of Mexico (GMX), and intensified rapidly before making landfall on the Alabama coast as a devastating category-2 TC with extensive coastal and inland flooding. In this study, using a combination of observations and idealized numerical model experiments, we demonstrate that the Mississippi River plume played a key role in the intensification of Sally near the northern Gulf Coast. As the storm intensified and its translation slowed before landfall, sea surface cooling was reduced along its track, coincident with a pronounced increase in SSS. Further analysis reveals that TC Sally encountered a warm Loop Current eddy in the northern GMX close to the Mississippi River plume. Besides deepening the thermocline, the eddy advected low-salinity Mississippi River plume water into the storm’s path. This resulted in the development of strong upper-ocean salinity stratification, with a shallow layer of freshwater lying above a deep, warm “barrier layer.” Consequently, TC-induced mixing and the associated sea surface cooling were reduced, aiding Sally’s intensification. These results suggest that the Mississippi River plume and freshwater advection by the Loop Current eddies can play an important role in TC intensification near the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Effects of Temperature and Air Pollution on Emergency Ambulance Dispatches: A Time Series Analysis in a Medium-Sized City in Germany

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Management of adverse health-related effects from heat waves requires comprehensive and accessible sources of information. This paper examines the effects of temperature and air pollution on human health and identifies areas with increased occurrence of emergency ambulance dispatches in the city of Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany, and discusses the applicability for health care interventions and urban planning. An overdispersed Poisson generalized additive model was used to examine and predict the association and potential lag of exposure between temperature, air pollution, and three types of emergency ambulance dispatches during the study period from 2011 to 2019. A linear model was used to estimate heat-wave effects. A line density function was used to identify areas with increased occurrence of dispatches. Significant effects of temperature were detected for nontraumatic and cardiovascular diseases after exceeding a threshold temperature. The exposure–response relationships showed an increased relative risk up to two days after exposure for nontraumatic and cardiovascular diseases. Results indicate a significant association between presence of heat waves and cardiovascular diseases with up to 17% (95% confidence interval: 5.9%–30.0%) increased relative risk on a heat-wave day relative to a non-heat-wave day. Dispatches for cardiovascular diseases occur more often in areas with a high population and building density, especially in summer. The analyses identified hotspots of heat-related dispatches in areas with increased population and building density and provides baseline information for interventions in future urban planning and public health care management based on data commonly available even in small cities.

Significance Statement
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how authorities in even medium- and small-sized cities can assess health impacts of heat stress or air pollution using free accessible emergency ambulance data and software to incorporate the outcomes in their spatial planning or health care management. This is important as ongoing climate change requires all urban communities to adapt and reduce adverse impacts of climate change and air pollution. Our results show that extreme heat leads to increased emergency ambulance dispatches in a medium-sized city in Germany and provide a spatial overview of where health care interventions and urban planning can focus to mitigate adverse effects.

Background The management of a small bowel obstruction (SBO) remains a challenge for general surgeons. The majority of SBOs can be treated conservatively; however, when surgery is required, the timing of operative intervention remains uncertain. Utilizing a large national database, we sought to evaluate the optimal timeframe for surgery following hospital admission with a diagnosis of SBO. Methods This was a retrospective review utilizing the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2006-2015). Outcomes following surgery for SBO were identified using ICD-9-CM coding. Two comorbidity indices were utilized to determine severity of illness. Patients were stratified into four groups based on time in days from admission to surgery. Propensity score models were created to predict the number of days until surgery following admission. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine risk adjusted postoperative outcomes. Results We identified 92 807 cases of non-elective surgery for SBO. The overall mortality rate was 4.7%. Surgery on days 3-5 was associated with the lowest rate of mortality. A longer preoperative length of stay (LOS) (3-5 days) was associated with a significantly greater number of wound (OR = 1.24) and procedural (OR = 1.17) complications compared to day 0. However, delayed surgical intervention (≥6 days) was associated with decreased cardiac (OR = .69) and pulmonary complications (OR = .58). Discussion After adjustment, a preoperative LOS of 3-5 days was associated with a decreased risk of mortality. In addition, increasing preoperative LOS was associated with decreased cardiopulmonary complications. However, an increased risk of procedural and wound complications during this time period suggest surgery may be more technically challenging.
Example of use of clock time-dependent targets for patient-based quality control
Authors: Stickle Douglas F 
Published: June 2023

Background Running means for total calcium (Ca) results at our laboratory exhibit a stable time-of-day (TOD) periodic pattern. We examined use of TOD-dependent targets for running means in patient-based quality control (PBQC) for Ca. Methods Primary data were Ca results over a 3 month interval, restricted to weekday data within the Ca reference interval (8.5–10.3 mg/dL; 2.12–2.57 mmol/L). Running means were evaluated as sliding averages of 20 samples (20-mers). Results Data comprised 39,629 consecutive Ca measurements (75.3% inpatient (IP)) for which Ca was 9.29±0.47 mg/dL. The all data average for 20-mers was 9.29 ± 0.18 mg/dL. When parsed in 1 h TOD intervals, however, averages among 20-mers ranged from 9.1 to 9.5 mg/dL, with blocs of contiguous results above (0800–2300 h; 53.3% of results; IP = 75.3%) and below (2300–0800 h; 46.7% of results; IP = 99.9%) the all-data mean. There was thus an inherent TOD-dependent pattern of deviation of means from target when using a fixed PBQC target. Using Fourier series analysis as an example approach, characterization of the pattern to produce TOD-dependent PBQC targets eliminated this inherent inaccuracy. Conclusions In circumstances of periodic variation in running means, simple characterization of that variation can reduce the probability of both false positive and false negative flags in PBQC.
Experiences of racial microaggression among immigrant and Canadian-born young adults: Effects of double stigma on mental health and service use
Authors: Feng Ruo Ying , Krygsman Amanda , Vaillancourt Tracy , Vitoroulis Irene 
Published: June 2023

Background: Significant disparities in utilization of mental health services exist among immigrant and Canadian-born populations. These gaps may be associated with a ‘double stigma’ – stigma related to being from a racialized background exacerbated by mental health stigma. Immigrant young adults may be particularly susceptible to this phenomenon, given developmental and social transitions from adolescence to adulthood. Aims: To investigate the joint effects of racial microaggression and mental health stigma on mental health and service use among first-generation immigrant and Canadian-born university students. Method: We conducted an online cross-sectional study among first-generation immigrant and Canadian-born university students (N = 1,280, Mage = 19.10, SD = 1.50). Results: Despite no differences in anxiety or depression symptoms, first-generation (foreign-born) immigrants were less likely to have received therapy and to have taken medication for mental health issues compared to Canadian-born participants. First-generation immigrants also reported experiencing higher levels of racial microaggression and stigma toward service use. Results suggest the presence of a double stigma, mental health stigma and racial microaggression, each explained significant additional variance in symptoms of anxiety and depression and medication use. No effects of double stigma for therapy use were found – while higher mental health stigma predicted lower use of therapy, racial microaggression did not predict unique variance in therapy use. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the joint effects of racial microaggression and stigma toward mental health and service as barriers to help-seeking among immigrant young adults. Mental health intervention and outreach programmes should target overt and covert forms of racial discrimination while incorporating culturally sensitive anti-stigma approaches to help reduce disparities in mental health service use among immigrants in Canada.

Published: June 2023

Materials made from natural fibers or waste have been studied to acquire a composite with good acoustical isolation properties, commercial materials used in this concern are polyurethane foam, fiberglass, Rockwool, and drywall. This work proposes using waste coconut and cactus ( Opuntia ficus-indica) fibers to synthesize bentonite composites and study their physicochemical and acoustic properties. Physicochemical properties of precursor and composites (75% wt. fiber) were determined by XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption, optical, and SEM microscopies. The transmission, reflection, and absorption coefficients, 50 to 10,000 Hz, were obtained in an impedance tube and were compared with commercial materials. The composites were subjected to surface humidity and thermal (30, 50, and 70°C) tests to evaluate the stability of acoustic properties. The mechanical properties of the composites are improved with the addition of bentonite, hardness is increased by 6.7% and 0.9%, and the density is decreased by 73.6% and 45.5%, for coconut and nopal, respectively, porosity also changes. We corroborated the significant presence of montmorillonite in bentonite (XRD), while the nopal or coconut fibers are composed of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin (FTIR). Also, mucilage was identified in the nopal samples as adherent biopolymer that generates stability either thermally or in wetting conditions. Coconut fiber has a high absorption coefficient (similar to polyurethane), which is reduced with humidity. However, by adding bentonite, the reflection is more elevated, and transmission is lower than commercial materials. The bentonite and nopal (fiber and composite) presented stability in the acoustic coefficients as a function of humidity and temperature.

Published: June 2023

Objective To identify whether hospice workers hold unique and theoretically-informative perspectives about death, especially as they relate to terror management processes. Method Twelve hospice workers from two hospices in Tucson, Arizona, United States, participated in semi-structured interviews. Interview and analytic practices were guided by Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Results Three categories were identified in relation to death attitudes: effects of chronic confrontation with death; reasons for working in hospice; and perceptions of death in others. Conclusions Two theoretically informative trends appeared. First, hospice workers largely manage death anxiety as identified by existing literature with the notable exception that hospice workers overall seem to integrate death and dying into their worldviews as a meaningful category, as opposed to avoiding thinking about death. Second, even among those regularly exposed to death, there seems to be a range across participants on a continuum from avoiding to confronting the topic of death.

Published: June 2023

Augmented reality has the potential to give students a unique experience, including when teaching science subjects. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an augmented reality-based intervention in teaching “Solar Systems and Planets” to four students with learning disabilities. The dependent variable was the percentage of the students’ correct answers to the questions about the science unit. The independent variable was the augmented reality-based intervention. A multiple baseline across participants’ designs was used in the study. The results showed a functional relationship between the augmented reality-based intervention and the percentage of correct answers the students gave to the questions. All four students showed significant gains immediately after receiving the intervention and maintained it between one and 5 weeks. Social validity findings also showed that students enjoyed the augmented reality-based intervention and were willing to use it in other subjects.

Purpose Patient sedation and analgesia are vital for safety and comfort during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, adsorption by the circuit may alter drug pharmaco-kinetics and remains poorly characterized. This study is the first to examine the concentrations of DEX and MDZ in the presence of drug–drug interactions using an in vitro extracorporeal circuit system that incorporates a polymer-coated polyvinyl chloride tube, but not a membrane oxygenator. Methods and Results Nine in vitro extracorporeal circuits were prepared using polymer-coated PVC tubing. Once the circuits were primed and running, either a single drug or two drugs were injected as boluses into the circuit with three circuits per drug. Drug samples were drawn following injection at 2, 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min and at 4, 12, and 24 h. They were then analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. When compared with an injection of DEX alone, the combination of DEX and MDZ is highly changed, with DEX and MDZ affecting the availability of free drugs in the circuit. Conclusions The change of DEX and MDZ concentrations was confirmed by a combination of both drugs as compared with either single-infusion DEX or MDZ in an in vitro extracorporeal circuit. Drug–drug interactions developed between DEX and MDZ through albumin in an extracorporeal circuit; as a result, the unbounded drugs might change in the circuit.
Gender Wage Gap, Wage-Productivity Decoupling, and the Rate of Profit
Authors: Ossa Daniel 
Published: June 2023

The declining gender wage gap (GWG) and the wage-productivity decoupling (WPD) are two emerging phenomena for the United States since the 1980s. This article proposes an extension to the usual decomposition method of the profit rate to account for both the GWG and the WPD on aggregate income distribution. It then uses this framework to study the US manufacturing sector from 1960 to 2017. It suggests that gender wage inequality was a source of profitability, especially before 1986, but which was slowly petered out. Since 2001, increases in the profit share have mostly been due to the WPD. These results highlight the relevance of gender-based inequality in the more traditional analysis of the profit rate dynamics. JEL Classification: B51, E11, E25, J16
