Authors: Şahin Ertuğrul 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This article deals with archival materials in the mosque landscape of Turkish origin in Germany. The focus is to work out its becoming, structure, functionality and importance as well as lines of knowledge of empirical reappraisal. First, the history and the context of the emergence are examined in order to capture the microcosm of the archives in a phenomenological insightful way. Subsequently, the discoverable archival collections will be subjected to a categorization of their parts. The summarizing notes emphasize that mosques and their archives are Germany’s historical and cultural heritage that need to be researched in its depth and breadth.
Sorting the Trees: The Role of Laurus nobilis in the Woodland Management Practices at La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)

Published: April 2023

Abstract
It is suggested that woodland management (e.g. pollarding, pruning, or coppicing) was practiced from at least the Neolithic onwards. The goal of this work is to discuss woodland management practices in the Early Neolithic waterlogged site of La Draga (5300–4700 cal BC, Banyoles, Spain). To date, different methods and techniques (dendrochronology, roundwood age and diameter, dendrology, etc.) have been applied to address this issue, and some preliminary results have been obtained. However, recent excavations have yielded new wooden archaeological materials which help to approach this issue from another point of view: the presence of scars on the wood surface. For the first time at La Draga, it was possible to identify scars on the wood surface of piles caused by tool marks and partially or totally covered by wound wood ribs, indicating that the trees were marked before being cut down. The marked piles have been identified as laurel (Laurus nobilis) or bay tree, which is well documented at the site (firewood, instruments, and piles), although it played a secondary role after the oak. However, laurel was rarely exploited during the Neolithic in Europe, which poses the question of the intentional selection of this wood at La Draga.
This paper presents the results of a morphological, technological, and dendrological study of laurel piles in the context of the wooden remains of the La Draga site. The results of the different approaches are summarised and contrasted to provide new insights into Neolithic woodland management in Europe. Moreover, the role of laurel trees in the context of the Neolithic is discussed.
Mesoscale Spectra of Vertical Vorticity and Horizontal Divergence in an Idealized Baroclinic Wave Simulation

Abstract
A new formulation of the spectral budget of vertical vorticity and horizontal divergence suitable for the mesoscale atmosphere on an f plane is derived. Compared to previous formulations in large-scale studies, there are three main improvements: (i) both the squared vorticity (SV; i.e., enstrophy as usual) and squared divergence (SD) spectra are taken into account, (ii) the spectral transfers of SV and SD between scales are exactly constructed under the nonlinear advection of the full horizontal velocity, and (iii) the general relationship between spectral energy and SV/SD transfers is derived. With this new formulation, the atmospheric spectra of divergent and rotational motion components are investigated through numerical simulation of idealized dry baroclinic waves. Spectral budget analysis shows that, in the present dry simulation, the upper troposphere is almost completely dominated by the downscale SV transfer at all scales, while the lower stratosphere is dominated by the downscale SV transfer at synoptic scales and by the downscale SD transfer at mesoscales. The pressure-related term is largely cancelled out by the conversion term between SV and SD at both levels, but at the small-scale end of lower-stratospheric mesoscales there exists a significant net positive forcing, accounting for the distinct spectral transition of the total spectrum there. An explicit association between spectral energy and SV/SD transfers is further made. In the upper troposphere, the downscale energy cascade is mainly governed by the downscale SV transfer, while in the lower stratosphere, it is mainly governed by the residual term related to nonuniformly distributed vertical velocity.

Significance Statement
The purpose of this study is to explore the dynamics underlying the atmospheric spectra of divergent and rotational motion components. The traditional analysis of enstrophy is first extended to include both squared vertical vorticity (SV) as usual and squared horizontal divergence (SD), and then a new formulation of the spectral SV and SD budget suitable for the mesoscale atmosphere is derived, with application to the dry baroclinic waves simulation. Our results clearly reveal the different physical processes governing the vorticity and divergence spectra at different heights. We also derive the general relationship between spectral energy and SV/SD transfers, which allows explicitly associating spectral energy and SV/SD fluxes and thus provides additional physical views on the mesoscale energy cascade. Further work should consider the effects of other physical processes neglected here.
Globalisation and Inclusive Growth in Africa: The Role of Institutional Quality

Published: April 2023

This study examines the relationship between globalisation and inclusive growth by considering the modulating role of institutional quality. To achieve our broad objective, we use data from 45 African economies over 1996–2018 to determine the panel cointegration and cointegrating regression association between inclusive growth, globalisation and institutional quality. To determine a suitable estimation technique for the empirical analysis, several pre-estimation tests were conducted. After confirming the existence of cointegration and slope heterogeneity, we adapted the long-run panel cointegrating methods—the fully modified ordinary least squares and dynamic ordinary least squares estimations. The results from both show that aggregate globalisation and its various dimensions have positive and significant effects on inclusive growth. Besides the direct positive impact on inclusive growth, globalisation has indirect positive and significant impact on inclusive growth through institutional quality. Finally, some policy implications are highlighted. JEL Codes: E02, F62, F63, O15, O43

Published: April 2023

Background: The incidence of subsequent posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis after surgery and the associated risk factors have been well reported after single-ligament anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, to date, the incidence of posttraumatic OA for those who have experienced multiligament knee injury (MLKI) has been reported only in relatively small, single-center studies. Purpose: To compare the incidence of OA diagnoses between patients with ACL injury versus patients with MLKI and to identify risk factors for OA diagnosis after MLKI. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study used the PearlDiver Mariner database, which contains insurance claims information on >151 million orthopaedic patients. We identified 2 cohorts for this study by using Current Procedural Terminology codes. The cohorts included patients between the ages of 16 and 60 who underwent either isolated ACL reconstruction (n = 114,282) or MLKI reconstruction (n = 3325) between July 1, 2010, and August 30, 2016. MLKI reconstruction was operationally defined as ACL reconstruction plus concurrent surgical treatment of ≥1 additional ligaments. Demographic factors, concomitant meniscal and cartilage procedures, and subsequent reoperation to restore motion were recorded, as was the incidence of knee OA diagnosis within 5 years of the index surgical procedure. OA incidence and demographic and surgical factors were compared (1) between ACL and MLKI groups and (2) between patients with MLKI either with or without OA diagnosis. Results: A significantly greater proportion of patients with MLKI were diagnosed with knee OA within 5 years of surgery (MLKI = 299/3325 [9.0%] vs ACL = 6955/114,282 [6.1%]; P < .0001) (odds ratio [OR], 1.52; 95% CI, 1.35-1.72; P < .001). Factors associated with increased odds of OA diagnosis after MLKI included age ≥30 years (OR, 5.90), reoperation to restore motion (OR, 2.54), obesity (OR, 1.96), mood disorder diagnoses (OR, 1.85), partial meniscectomy (OR, 1.85), and tobacco use (OR, 1.72). Concomitant meniscal repair was protective against OA diagnosis (OR, 0.06). Conclusion: OA incidence was greater after MLKI reconstruction than after isolated ACL reconstruction. Potentially modifiable risk factors for OA after MLKI were identified and include obesity, tobacco use, depression, and the need for motion-restoring surgery.

Published: April 2023

Background Sialolipoma is a benign neoplasm composed of neoplastic adipose tissue and normal salivary gland parenchyma. It is commonly seen in the parotid gland. The occurrence of sialolipoma in the main bronchus is exceedingly rare. Case report A 52-year-old diabetic and hypertensive gentleman presented with shortness of breath and cough for the last 3-4 months. Computed tomography bronchial angiography showed a soft tissue lesion in the right intermediate bronchus causing its complete obliteration and subsequent collapse of the right lower lobe. A rigid tracheobronchoscope revealed a polypoidal growth originating in the right intermediate bronchus. Histopathology revealed a sialolipoma. The patient was doing well on follow-up and no recurrence was noted to date. Conclusion The bronchus as the primary site for sialolipoma is unusual and has to be kept in the differential while dealing with the slow-growing endobronchial tumor.

Published: April 2023

Objective: To replicate a seven-factor model previously reported for the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS). Method: This study used the D-KEFS standardization sample including 1,750 non-clinical participants. Several seven-factor models previously reported for the D-KEFS were re-evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Previously published bi-factor models were also tested. These models were compared with a three-factor a priori model based on Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) theory. Measurement invariance was examined across three age cohorts. Results: All previously reported models failed to converge when tested with CFA. None of the bi-factor models converged after large numbers of iterations, suggesting that bi-factor models are ill-suited to represent the D-KEFS scores as reported in the test manual. Although poor fit was initially observed for the three-factor CHC model, inspection of modification indices showed potential for improvement by including method effects via correlated residuals for scores derived from similar tests. The final CHC model showed good to excellent fit and strong metric measurement invariance across the three age cohorts with minor exceptions for a subset of Fluency parameters. Conclusions: CHC theory extends to the D-KEFS, supporting findings from previous studies that executive functions can be integrated into CHC theory.

Background: Management of mental health disorders has not been fully integrated into primary care despite been advocated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA). This study therefore seeks to assess the ability and preparedness of Family Physicians to recognise and treat mental health disorders in adolescents. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 233 randomly selected Physicians Practicing in Family Medicine Clinics in Nigeria and Ghana was conducted using a semi structured self-administered questionnaire that was developed by the researchers and validated with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .85. Data analysis was done with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences™ (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA) version 22.0. Results: Respondents had a mean age of 43 ± 8 years, were mostly males 130 (55.79%), practised in Nigeria 168 (72.10%) and have been in practice for over 10 years 149 (63.95%). Majority of respondents 153 (65.67%) received at least one Medical Education sessions in mental health in the preceding 12 months of the study. Out of these, 146 (95.42%) said the sessions enhanced their knowledge of mental health, and 121 (79.08%) said the sessions enhanced their abilities and preparedness to attend to patients with mental disorders. Barriers included stigmatisation 156 (66.95%), poor facilities 136 (58.37%), non-conducive environment 135 (57.94%) and non-cooperation from patients 133 (57.08%). Conclusion: This study showed that a lot of family physicians in Ghana and Nigeria are able and prepared to manage adolescent mental health disorders. They however cited stigmatisation, poor facilities and non-conducive environment as barriers to management of adolescent mental health disorders in primary care. Considering the severity of the disorder, there is a need to increase the training of Family Physicians in the management of adolescent mental health.
Feasibility and Efficacy of the Alert Program® for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Mah Janet WT , Gill Harleen , Doherty Miranda 
Published: April 2023

This study explored the feasibility and initial efficacy of a sensorimotor intervention to improve symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Twenty-seven children (ages 8–12 years) with ADHD and their parents participated in an 8-week group intervention based on The Alert Program® for Self-Regulation (AP). Families were taught to recognize child arousal states and to use sensorimotor strategies to manage levels of alertness. Parent and teacher reports of child attention symptoms were collected at baseline, before and after intervention. Objective ratings of child problem behaviours and use of sensorimotor strategies during computerized tasks of visual and auditory attention were also coded before and after intervention. Parents and children endorsed high acceptability and satisfaction for the AP treatment. Parental ratings indicated increased knowledge and use of sensorimotor strategies, and decreased child ADHD symptoms at home from pre-AP to post-AP. However, no significant changes in child outcomes were reported by teachers. Unexpectedly, observed child problem behaviours during the visual attention task increased from pre-AP to post-AP. The AP was received positively by parents and children with improvements in regulation strategies and child attention at home, but more work needs to be done to generalize the effects to school and other peer settings.

Authors: Lehmann Katrin , Leavey Gerard 
Published: April 2023

Background The aim of this paper is the systematic review of psychological/psychosocial interventions for gender diverse youth under 18 years of age and their families, based on the published protocol: PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020163995. Methods A search strategy was developed using key terms. An electronic literature search was completed using the following data bases (OVID MEDLINE; EBSCO CINAHL; ProQuest MEDLINE; OVID PsycINFO). Only studies published in English between 2001–2021 were included. This review is based on PRISMA guidance. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were quality appraised using the Mixed Methods Assessment Tool (MMAT). Results 8405 studies were independently screened. Four studies met the inclusion criteria for the study. Parents of transgender youth attended between one and 11 psychological/psychosocial group interventions. Parents reported reduced isolation and increased knowledge, which enabled them to advocate for their young person`s needs. Psychological/psychosocial group interventions were creating challenges in terms of group processes, with some parents dominating interactions. Psychological/psychosocial group interventions were positive for parents, but no outcomes were collected for transgender young people. Conclusion More research is required to understand the role of group facilitators, the optimal group size and the number of psychological/psychosocial intervention sessions required.

Introduction Liver acceptance patterns vary significantly between transplant centers. Data pertaining to outcomes of livers declined by local and regional centers and allocated nationally remains limited. Project aim The objective was to compare post-liver transplant outcomes between liver allografts transplanted as a result of national and local-regional allocation. Design This was a retrospective evaluation of 109 nationally allocated liver allografts used for transplant by a single center. Outcomes of nationally allocated grafts were compared to standard allocation grafts (N  =  505) during the same period. Results Recipients of nationally allocated grafts had lower model for end stage liver disease scores (17 vs 22, P  =  .001). Nationally allocated grafts were more likely to be post-cross clamp offers (29.4% vs 13.4%, P  =  .001) and have longer cold ischemia times (median hours 7.8 vs 5.5, P  =  .001). Early allograft dysfunction was common (54.1% vs 52.5%, P  =  .75) and did not impact hospital length of stay (median 5 vs 6 days, P  =  .89). There were no differences in biliary complications ( P  =  .11). There were no differences in patient ( P  =  .88) or graft survival ( P  =  .35). In a multivariate model, after accounting for differences in cold ischemia time and posttransplant biliary complications, nationally allocated grafts were not associated with increased risk for graft loss (HR 0.9, 95% CI 0.4-1.8). Abnormal liver biopsy findings (33.0%) followed by donor donation after circulatory death status (22.9%) were the most common reasons for decline by local-regional centers. Conclusion Despite longer cold ischemia times, patient and graft survival outcomes remain excellent and comparable to those seen from standard allocation grafts.

Objective The aim of this study was to compare ghost ileostomy (GI) and loop ileostomy (LI) in patients undergoing oncologic resection for rectal cancer in terms of postoperative morbidity. Summary Background Data LIs are often fashioned to protect downstream anastomoses following oncologic resection for low rectal cancer at medium-to-high risk of anastomotic leak. More recently, GIs have been utilized in patients with low-to-medium risk anastomoses to reduce the rate of unnecessary stomas. Methods Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL were systematically searched. Studies investigating the use of GI in patients undergoing oncologic resection for rectal cancer were included. The primary outcomes were anastomotic leak and postoperative morbidity. Secondary outcomes included stoma-related complications and length of stay (LOS). Pairwise meta-analyses were performed with inverse variance random effects. Results From 242 citations, 14 studies with 946 patients were included. In comparative studies, 359 patients were undergoing GI and 266 patients were undergoing LI. Pairwise meta-analysis revealed no differences in the prevalence of anastomotic leak (OR 1.40, 95%CI .73-2.68, P = .31), morbidity (OR .76, 95%CI .44-1.30, P = .32), or LOS (SMD -.05, 95%CI -.33-.23, P = .72). International Study Group of Rectal Cancer anastomotic leak grades were as follows: Grade A (GI 0% vs LI 13.3%), Grade B (GI 80.9% vs LI 86.7%), Grade C (GI 19.1% vs LI 0%). Conclusions GI appears to be a safe alternative to LI following oncologic resection for rectal cancer. Larger, prospective comparative studies are warranted to evaluate the use of GI in patients deemed to be at low-to-medium risk of anastomotic leak.

Purpose Revascularization rates following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remain suboptimal for patients with fibrin-rich, recalcitrant clots. The NIMBUS Geometric Clot Extractor has demonstrated promising in vitro revascularization rates using fibrin-rich clot analogs. This study assessed the retrieval rate and composition of clot using NIMBUS in a clinical setting. Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent MT with NIMBUS at two high-volume stroke centers between December 2019 and May 2021. NIMBUS was used for clots deemed challenging to remove at the interventionalist's discretion. At one of the centers, per pass clot was collected for histological analysis by an independent lab. Results A total of 37 patients (mean age 76.87 ± 11.73 years; 18 female; mean time from stroke onset 11.70 ± 6.41 h) were included. NIMBUS was used as first and second-line device in 5 and 32 patients, respectively. The main reason for using NIMBUS (32/37) was the failure of standard MT techniques after a mean 2.86 ± 1.48 number of passes. Substantial reperfusion (mTICI ≥2b) was achieved in 29/37 patients (78.4%) with a mean of 1.81 ± 1.00 NIMBUS passes (mean 4.68 ± 1.68 passes with all devices), and NIMBUS was the final device used in 79.3% (23/29) of those cases. Clot specimens from 18 cases underwent composition analysis. Fibrin and platelets represented 31.4 ± 13.7% and 28.8 ± 18.8% of clot components; 34.4 ± 19.5% were red blood cells. Conclusions In this series, NIMBUS was effective in removing tough clots rich in fibrin and platelets in challenging real-world situations.
