AbstractVarious techniques have been formulated to reduce pain and ensure early recovery after surgery, as these are major concerns among surgeons, anesthesiologists, and patients. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB), the injection of local anesthetic into the fascial plane, is a simple and novel analgesia technique widely used due to its minimal risk of complications. ESPB has been tried in various surgeries; however, no study has reported its use in colorectal surgery. This study investigated whether ESPB could promote early recovery following laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) by reducing opioid consumption and pain intensity. After randomization into the ESPB or control groups, an ultrasound-guided ESPB was performed at the thoracic 10th–11th level with 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine or normal saline. The ESPB group used less fentanyl during the initial 24 h after surgery (P = 0.004) and experienced less pain (P < 0.05 at all-time points) than the control group. The time to the first ambulation and the length of hospital stay were shorter in the ESPB group than in the control group (P = 0.015 and P = 0.008, respectively). In conclusion, ESPB could promote early recovery by reducing opioid consumption and pain intensity in patients receiving LCS.

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe present a theoretical investigation of exciton-mediated Förster resonant energy transfers (FRET’s) from photoexcited quantum dots (QD’s) to transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMD-ML’s), implemented by the quantum theory of FRET on the base of first-principles-calculated exciton fine structures. With the enhanced electron-hole Coulomb interactions, atomically thin TMD-MLs are shown to serve as an exceptional platform for FRET that are mediated purely by excitons and take full advantage of the superior excitonic properties. Remarkably, the energy-transfer responses of atomically thin TMD-ML’s are shown to be dictated by the momentum-forbidden dark excitons rather than the commonly recognized bright ones. Specifically, the longitudinal dark exciton states following the exchange-driven light-like linear band dispersion play a key role in grading up the efficiency and robustness of FRET of TMD-ML against the inhomogeneity of QD-donor ensembles. With the essential involvement of dark excitons, the FRET responses of TMD-ML’s no longer follow the distance power law as classically predicted and, notably, cannot manifest the dimensionality of the donor-acceptor system.

AbstractDigital transformation in healthcare improves the safety of health systems. Within our health service, a new digital hospital has been established and two wards from a neighbouring paper-based hospital transitioned into the new digital hospital. This created an opportunity to evaluate the impact of complete digital transformation on medication safety. Here we discuss the impact of transition from a paper-based to digital hospital on voluntarily reported medication incidents and prescribing errors. This study utilises an interrupted time-series design and takes place across two wards as they transition from a paper to a digital hospital. Two data sources are used to assess impacts on medication incidents and prescribing errors: (1) voluntarily reported medication incidents and 2) a chart audit of medications prescribed on the study wards. The chart audit collects data on procedural, dosing and therapeutic prescribing errors. There are 588 errors extracted from incident reporting software during the study period. The average monthly number of errors reduces from 12.5 pre- to 7.5 post-transition (p < 0.001). In the chart audit, 5072 medication orders are reviewed pre-transition and 3699 reviewed post-transition. The rates of orders with one or more error reduces significantly after transition (52.8% pre- vs. 15.7% post-,p < 0.001). There are significant reductions in procedural (32.1% pre- vs. 1.3% post-,p < 0.001), and dosing errors (32.3% pre- vs. 14% post-,p < 0.001), but not therapeutic errors (0.6% pre- vs. 0.7% post-,p = 0.478). Transition to a digital hospital is associated with reductions in voluntarily reported medication incidents and prescribing errors.
Urbanity: automated modelling and analysis of multidimensional networks in cities
Authors: Yap Winston , Stouffs Rudi , Biljecki Filip 
Published: July 2023

AbstractUrban networks play a vital role in connecting multiple urban components and developing our understanding of cities and urban systems. Despite the significant progress we have made in understanding how city networks are connected and spread out, we still have a lot to learn about the meaning and context of these networks. The increasing availability of open data offers opportunities to supplement urban networks with specific location information and create more expressive urban machine-learning models. In this work, we introduce Urbanity, a network-based Python package to automate the construction of feature-rich urban networks anywhere and at any geographical scale. We discuss data sources, the features of our software, and a set of data representing the networks of five major cities around the world. We also test the usefulness of added context in our networks by classifying different types of connections within a single network. Our findings extend accumulated knowledge about how spaces and flows within city networks work, and affirm the importance of contextual features for analyzing city networks.

MDGN: Circuit design of memristor‐based denoising autoencoder and gated recurrent unit network for lithium‐ion battery state of charge estimation

Published: July 2023

AbstractDue to the highly complex and non‐linear physical dynamics of lithium‐ion batteries, it is unfeasible to measure the state of charge (SOC) directly. Designing systems capable of accurate SOC estimation has become a key technology for battery management systems (BMS). Existing mainstream SOC estimation approaches still suffer from the limitations of low efficiency and high‐power consumption, owing to the great number of samples required for training. To address these gaps, this paper proposes a memristor‐based denoising autoencoder and gated recurrent unit network (MDGN) for fast and accurate SOC estimation of lithium‐ion batteries. Specifically, the DAE circuit module is designed to extract useful feature representation with strong generalization and noise immunity. Then, the gated recurrent unit (GRU) circuit module is designed to learn the long‐term dependencies between high‐dimensional input and output data. The overall performance is evaluated by root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) at 0, 25, and 45°C, respectively. Compared with the current state‐of‐the‐art methods, the entire scheme shows its superior performance in accuracy, robustness, and operation cost (referring to time cost).

Published: July 2023

The article discusses the main aspects of the influence of the external environment on the development of enterprises in the investment and construction complex. Currently, enterprises are forced to increase their efficiency, taking into account the development of investment processes aimed at eliminating imbalances in the real estate market. Three groups of features are presented that determine the nature of the activities of ISC enterprises: territorial, sectoral and socio-economic.
Taking into account all these features will make it possible to establish the degree of compliance of the internal environment of enterprises with the external conditions of their activities and to link the interests of all participants in the housing market in a rational combination of them with each other. These features determine the nature of the emergence of various groups of factors of the external and internal environment. The solution of this problem should be carried out through the development of new theoretical and methodological approaches to solving the problem.
Akute Schwangerschaftsfettleber – Fallserie einer seltenen
Schwangerschaftskomplikation

Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungDie akute Schwangerschaftsfettleber (acute fatty liver in pregnancy, AFLP) ist
mit einer Prävalenz von 0,01–0,03% eine seltene,
potentiell lebensbedrohliche Komplikation in der Schwangerschaft. Durch die
meist unspezifischen Symptome lässt sie sich schwer von anderen, teils
häufigeren, Schwangerschaftserkrankungen wie HELLP Syndrom, aHUS und TTP
abgrenzen. Ihre Seltenheit führt dazu, dass sie durch in der
Geburtshilfe tätige Personen als Differentialdiagnose oft nicht in
Erwägung gezogen wird. Dabei ist gerade die frühzeitige
Diagnosestellung und schnellstmögliche Entbindung als einzige kausale
Therapie entscheidend zur Verhinderung schwerwiegender Komplikationen und
mütterlicher Todesfälle. In nachfolgender Arbeit wird anhand von
Fallbeschreibungen dreier Uniklinika die Pathophysiologie, Bedeutung, Diagnose
und Therapie der akuten Schwangerschaftsfettleber für die klinische
Routine hervorgehoben und auf mögliche Befunde, welche in der
Diagnosefindung zielführend sind, hingewiesen. Hierbei spielt auch der
angiogene Präeklampsie-Marker sFlt-1 eine Rolle und bietet neue
Betrachtungsweisen pathophsiologischer Ansätze.
Previous Injury and Lower Well-being Increase Injury Risk in Female
Adolescent Athletes
Authors: Ekenros Linda , Fridén Cecilia , von Rosen Philip 
Published: July 2023

AbstractSeveral risk factors for injury have been suggested in female elite athletes.
However, there is a lack of prospective studies in young female athletes where
multiple risk factors have been studied. The aim of this study was to identify
risk factors for injury in female adolescent elite athletes. Substantial
injuries were monitored in 222 athletes using the validated Oslo Sports Trauma
Research Centre Questionnaire over 20 weeks. Over 20 potential risk factors were
explored. Based on a binomial generalized linear mixed model, two significant
(p<0.05) risk factors for injury were identified; previous injury within
the last 12 months (OR 2.55) and well-being (OR 0.97). An athlete with a
previous injury had twice as high a risk of injury (13% vs. 6%)
compared to an athlete with no previous injury. Higher perceived well-being was
associated with a decreased risk of injury. Based on a prospective design with a
large sample of female adolescent elite athletes, investigating over 20
potential risk factors for injury, our results suggest that a previous injury
and well-being are risk factors for injury.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Objective Trigeminal nerve stimulation may have some potential in treating
migraine, and this meta-analysis aims to study the efficacy and safety of
trigeminal nerve stimulation for migraine patients.
Methods We have searched several databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web
of science, EBSCO and Cochrane library databases, and selected the randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of trigeminal nerve stimulation
for migraine patients. This meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effect
or fixed-effect model based on the heterogeneity.
Results Four RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with sham
procedure in migraine patients, trigeminal neurostimulation benefited to improve
pain freedom at 2 h (OR=2.69; 95% CI=1.30 to
5.56; P=0.007), pain relief at 2 h (OR=2.05; 95%
CI=1.53 to 2.74; P<0.00001), pain freedom at 24 h
(OR=2.00; 95% CI=1.42 to 2.81; P<0.0001) as well
as pain relief at 24 h (OR=1.71; 95% CI=1.25 to
2.33; P=0.0007), and reduce rescue medication (OR=0.70;
95% CI=0.52 to 0.95; P=0.02), but demonstrated no
obvious impact on the incidence of adverse events (OR=2.24; 95%
CI=1.21 to 4.13; P=0.01).
Conclusions Trigeminal nerve stimulation is effective and safe for the
treatment of migraine patients.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of homoeopathic mother tincture Sarothamnus scoparius in the management of essential hypertension.
Materials and Methods An open label, prospective, single arm, clinical trial was conducted on 35 participants recruited from outpatient department/inpatient department of a Govt. Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital. All participants received Sarothamnus scoparius mother tincture, suffering from essential hypertension. The primary outcome was to evaluate the change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) every month for 3 months and the secondary outcome was to assess the QOL of the patient by using WHOQOL-BREF at baseline and after 3 months. The primary outcome and secondary outcome measures were analysed by repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ‘Paired t-test’ respectively.
Result Twenty-nine participants completed the study and six participants dropped out. Intention-to-treat sample (n = 35) was analysed. There was statistically significant reduction in SBP (146.40 ± 7.65 to 128.00 ± 12.34) as well as DBP (88.80 ± 3.26 to 86.07 ± 3.307). Repeated measure ANOVA was performed to compare the changes in SBP as well as DBP at different time interval. In SBP, the result was statistically significant on all occasions (p = 0.000, at 95% confidence interval [CI]). In DBP, the result was also found statistically significant (p = 0.000, at 95% CI). However, the result was not statistically significant when DBP was compared at 1 month with 2nd and 3rd months (p = 1.000, at 95% CI); 2 months with 1 and 3 months (p = 1.000, 0.863 at 95% CI respectively); 2 months with 3 months (p = 0.518, at 95% CI); and 3 months with 1 and 2 months (p = 1.000, 0.863 at 95% CI respectively).Paired t-test performed to measure the changes in WHOQOL-BREF score showed statistically significant (62.57 ± 10.81 to 96.07 ± 17.47; p = 0.000, at 95% CI).
Conclusion The study findings suggest that Sarothamnus scoparius mother tincture is beneficial in the management of essential hypertension as well as improving QOL. Randomised controlled trials are further warranted.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background It is unclear whether nonpharmacologic intervention for depressive disorder (DD) in the preoperative period can prevent postoperative complications in hand surgery patients.
Questions/Purpose The aims were to evaluate whether psychotherapy visits/depression screenings within 90 days of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures (DRFs) were associated with lower rates of (1) medical complications and (2) health care utilization (emergency department [ED] visits and readmissions).
Methods A retrospective analysis of an administrative claims database from 2010 to 2021 was performed. DD patients who underwent ORIF for DRF were 1:5 propensity score matched by comorbidities, including those who did (n = 8,993) and did not (n = 44,503) attend a psychotherapy visit/depression screening 90 days before surgery. Multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to compare the odds ratio (OR) of medical complications, ED visits, and readmissions within 90 days. The p-values less than 0.001 were significant.
Results DD patients who did not attend a preoperative psychotherapy visit/depression screening experienced fivefold higher odds of total medical complications (25.66 vs. 5.27%; OR: 5.25, p < 0.0001), including surgical site infections (1.23 vs. 0.14%; OR: 8.71, p < 0.0001), deep wound infections (0.98 vs. 0.17%; OR: 6.00, p < 0.0001), and transfusions (1.64 vs. 0.22%; OR: 7.61, p < 0.0001). Those who did not attend a psychotherapy visit/depression screening experienced higher odds of ED utilizations (9.71 vs. 2.71%; OR: 3.87, p < 0.0001), however, no difference in readmissions (3.40 vs. 3.54%; OR: 0.96, p = 0.569).
Conclusion Depression screening may be a helpful preoperative intervention to optimize patients with DD undergoing hand surgery to minimize postoperative complications and health care utilization.

Do education and the labor market speak the same language?
Authors: Aguayo-Arrabal Natividad 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper addresses the need for terminology convergence and the systematic use of up-to-date descriptors and concepts in the European higher education and labor market environments. Rapid developments in the language industry are remodelling the translation profession in particular and generating new processes, new training needs and, therefore, a new skills demand. Changing market expectations, cross-occupational mobility and multifaceted professional profiles in the translation industry claim to exploit the full potential of standard and multilingual taxonomies like ESCO – the European Classification of Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations. This research draws on the European Master’s in Translation (EMT) competence framework for 2018–2024 to perform a descriptive analysis of the English and Spanish entries for the occupation of “translator” in ESCO’s latest 2020 version. Findings suggest that ESCO’s content could be aligned with the professionally oriented EMT framework to overcome shortcomings in representing translators’ identity and present the reality of the translation market, while matching its content more accurately to the most relevant skills and competences generally developed in current translator training programs.
How Scandinavian political leaders appealed to cognitive or affective-based trust during the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Rygg Kristin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Trust is important if people are to be willing to follow leaders during a crisis. This study examines how the prime ministers of Norway, Sweden and Denmark endeavoured to appeal to either cognitive-based or affective-based trust during the first eight months of the Covid-19 pandemic. These two types of trust stem from management studies but have some similarities with concepts introduced in political linguistics about competence face, which appeals to the mind (logos), versus affective face, which appeals to the heart (pathos). This study attempts to operationalise these frameworks by conducting a discourse analysis of sixteen of the prime ministers’ important political speeches during the pandemic, and to identify how they thematically and linguistically appeal to different types of trust. Although there are some differences between the three prime ministers, the similarities are more noticeable, which might reflect the social, cultural and institutional similarity between the three Scandinavian countries. The prime ministers appeal to both competence and affective-based trust. However, compared to some other studies of political crisis communication during the pandemic, these prime ministers kept themselves in the background, and their affective faces were not displayed through informal language or personal anecdotes but by appealing to collective values and shared responsibility.
Linguistic strategies to present complexity in a time of crisis
Authors: Callegari Elena 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, world leaders were expected to discuss complex notions with their constituents. In this paper, I analyze how four European leaders – Erna Solberg (Norway), Giuseppe Conte (Italy), Emmanuel Macron (Macron), Boris Johnson (UK) – broke down the complexity associated with Covid-19 measures. I look at 57 speeches given in the period of March 2020 – October 2020. Solberg chose to tackle complexity through oversimplification, for instance by overusing numbered lists and the intensifier mange (‘many’). Macron used self-directed questions to structure the discourse into more manageable units. Johnson made extensive use of signposting, slogans and catchphrases. No particular strategy was used by Conte to tackle complexity; this highlights the effect of increased time pressure in communicating a crisis.
The social media campaign for Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine
Authors: Thielemann Nadine 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Focusing on the Twitter account @sputnikvaccine, the chapter analyses the social media campaign launched for the release of Sputnik V, the Russian anti-Covid vaccine, as an instance of international persuasive communication. It seeks to reveal how the campaign acts as an agent of public diplomacy and projects Russia’s soft power, while also disseminating the country’s strategic narratives (i.e., accounts of its identity, position in the international arena and general geopolitical worldview). The chapter further aims to identify the persuasive mechanisms used to achieve these goals, making particular reference to two concepts: propaganda, understood as a manipulative mechanism, and narrative (now in its customary sense) as a persuasive tool. The chapter describes how a discourse analysis based on open coding of content posted by @sputnikvaccine was used to reconstruct a rescue plot narrative in which Russia / Sputnik V saves humankind from the pandemic. This narrative structure also enables the manipulative construction of an antagonist, consisting of western organizations and corporations, which politicizes the vaccine issue and so obstructs Russia in its mission. In this way, the rescue frame enables several elements of Russian strategic narratives (e.g., Russia as a global player, a polycentric world order) to be referenced.
From Mandarin to Cantonese Lexicography
Authors: Li Rui 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The Vocabulary of the Canton Dialect, compiled by Robert Morrison (1782–1834) and published in
1828 in Macao, was the first bilingual dictionary of Cantonese in a Western language. This article traces the genealogy of the
Vocabulary by examining Morrison’s sources. It is shown how Morrison availed himself of the resources of
Mandarin dictionaries and of the lexicographical work on Cantonese undertaken in the 1820s.
