Published: July 2023

AbstractHigh altitude relight is a matter of increasing importance for aero engine manufacturers, in which combustion plays literally a vital role. In this paper we want to evaluate the predictive capability of a combined Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Large Eddy Simulation with Conditional Moment Closure (LES-CMC) approach for a spray combustion process at these extreme conditions. The focus is on the SPH modelling of the kerosene primary atomization, the extraction of realistic spray boundary conditions for LES-CMC and the effect of the spray on combustion. Interestingly, it will be demonstrated that the fragment size distributions resulting from the airblast atomization are characterized by bimodal behaviour during the relight process and that small and large fragments differ significantly in their dynamical behavior. This is shown to affect the combustion in the Central Recirculation Zone (CRZ). Very large fragments are even able to supersede the flame from the CRZ, such that endothermic pyrolysis becomes dominant, but simultaneously essential to sustain and stabilize the remaining flame with reactive pyrolysis species. The study proves the ability of our methodology for extreme operating conditions, in which experimental insights are hardly possible.
Evolution of Dendritic Austenite in Parallel With Eutectic in Compacted Graphite Iron Under Three Cooling Conditions
Authors: Domeij Björn , Elfsberg Jessica , Diószegi Attila 
Published: July 2023

AbstractShrinkage defects are common problems in industrially produced metal cast components. Local density changes occur during freezing, which demand material transport between parts of the casting, often involving flow of liquid through partially solid regions. Cast alloys typically freeze with a dendritic morphology, which large interface against the liquid restricts liquid flow. Recent research also indicates that this dendritic structure has an impact on the mechanical properties of the final material. For these reasons it is important to understand and predict the evolution of this structure through the solidification of cast alloys. In this work, the evolution of the dendritic austenite structure is investigated in a near-eutectic compacted graphite iron solidified under three different cooling conditions. The solidification was interrupted by water quenching, enabling characterization of the dendritic austenite structure at different stages of solidification. Higher cooling rate was found to promote a more coherent dendritic austenite structure which constituted a larger volume fraction. In parallel with growth of the eutectic, the amount of dendritic austenite in extra-eutectic regions continued to rise. This rise was associated with both tip growth of new dendrites and with growth by thickening of existing dendrites.

Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the outcomes in elderly patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Methods
Patients with NPC aged ≥ 70 years old who received intensity-modulated radiation therapy ≥ 60 Gy were recruited into this study. The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), locoregional recurrence-free rate (LRFR) and distant metastasis-free rate (DMFR) were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. The Cox proportional hazards model was applied to perform multivariate analysis for independent prognosticators using meaningful variables from the univariate analysis.

Results
One hundred ninety seven patients with NPC ≥ 70 years were recruited from the 4351 newly diagnosed NPC patients from January 2011 to December 2020. The 5-year OS, CSS, PFS, LRFR and DMFR were 59.6%, 78.9%, 51.3%, 91.6% and 78.9%, respectively. the plasma EBV DNA was the only prognostic factor for OS, the overall staging was the only prognostic factor for CSS, and plasma EBV DNA and N category were borderline significant factor for DMFR. We did not find any prognosticator for PFS and LRFR.

Conclusions
The survival after IMRT for elderly patients with NPC is suboptimal. Further study stratified by comorbidity and geriatric assessment is needed.
Evolution mechanism and optimisation of traffic congestion
Authors: Sun Fanrong , Xu Xueji , Zhang Huimin , Shen Di , Mu Yao , Chen Yujun 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAir route networks can no longer meet operational efficiency requirements because of the rapid growth of complex traffic flows. Machine learning is employed to investigate the evolutionary mechanism of congestion in such networks in view of their high complexity and high density, and a reasonable network optimisation scheme is presented. First, deviations between nominal and actual routes are investigated with reference to radar track data, and a network reflecting actual route operations is constructed using adversarial neural networks. Second, flight time is used to characterise congestion in route networks. Actual network operations are considered, and congestion is defined from the perspective of road traffic engineering. The effects of the operational properties of traffic flows on flight times are analysed to establish various congestion indicators. A gradient boosting model is used to select indicator characteristics and analyse patterns in the variations of indicator values for each flight segment in distinct periods. The indicator–time relationship is leveraged to explore the evolutionary mechanism of congestion in the route network. Third, on the basis of this mechanism, a multiobjective optimisation model of congestion is formulated, and a particle swarm optimisation algorithm is executed to adjust the route passage structure, thereby solving the optimisation model. Finally, calculation validation is conducted using radar track data from the control sector of the Yunnan region. The average flight time in a route segment is 10% shorter in the optimised route network than in the nonoptimised route network, which confirms that the optimisation solution is practicable.

Abstract
The incidence of malnutrition in developing countries, such as Kenya, is still high. The most recent international reports outline an increase in the prevalence of overnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa, where undernutrition and hidden hunger conditions still represent an emergency. Among the factors influencing malnutrition conditions connected to dietary intake and eating habits, evidence shows the importance of food knowledge. Traditionally, in developing countries, women represent the pillar of the food system and impact their children's nutrition: food-based, women-centred strategies are recommended to address nutrient gaps, educate and empower women, and counteract malnutrition. The short communication presents the results of the ACTION project: an educational-intervention pilot study targeting childbearing-age women living in rural areas of Southern Kenya. To evaluate the feasibility of the educational course built, the authors administered to the women a food knowledge questionnaire, before and after the intervention. Study results describe an increase in women's food knowledge after attending the food education course. This encourages to increase education courses which can represent a starting point in improving food habits with a positive effect on the health condition in developing counties too.
Interview and interior: Procedures of narrative surveys around 1900
Authors: te Heesen Anke 
Published: July 2023

ArgumentIn the spring of 1893, the Austrian writer and critic Hermann Bahr began interviewing various people on antisemitism, a subject of heated discussion in the European feuilleton around 1900. “Once again, I am travelling the world sounding out people’s opinions and listening to what they have to say,” he wrote in his introduction to a series of articles on that issue that appeared in the feuilleton of the Deutsche Zeitung between March and September 1893. A year later, the Berlin publishing house S. Fischer turned Bahr’s articles into a book. Bahr conducted a total of thirty-eight interviews with prominent personages, such as August Bebel, Theodor Mommsen, Ernst Haeckel, Henrik Ibsen and Jules Simon. Bahr did not focus on the arguments in favour or against antisemitism. Instead, he set out explicitly to investigate the sentiments, perceptions and opinions on this topic within the cultured classes. Yet, as I will show in this article, Bahr tried to capture not only the “sentiments” [Empfindungen] aired by his interviewees, but also the settings and interiors in which the interviews took place. I argue that these descriptions of physical space served Bahr as authentication, as a three-dimensional certificate for the “facts of opinion” [Meinungstatsachen] he recorded.

AbstractPrunus armeniaca gum is used as food additive and ethno medicinal purpose. Two empirical models response surface methodology and artificial neural network were used to search for optimized extraction parameters for gum extraction. A four-factor design was implemented for optimization of extraction process for maximum yield which was obtained under the optimized extraction parameter (temperature, pH, extraction time, and gum/water ratio). Micro and macro-elemental composition of gum was determined by using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. Gum was evaluated for toxicological effect and pharmacological properties. The maximum predicted yield obtained by response surface methodology and artificial neural network was 30.44 and 30.70% which was very close to maximum experimental yield 30.23%. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopic spectra confirmed the presence Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Lithium, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen. Acute oral toxicity study showed that gum is non-toxic up to 2000 mg/Kg body weight in rabbits, accompanied by high cytotoxic effects of gum against HepG2 and MCF-7cells by MTT assay. Overall, Aqueous solution of gum showed various pharmacological activities with significant value of antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and thrombolytic activities. Thus, optimization of parameters using mathematical models cans offer better prediction and estimations with enhanced pharmacological properties of extracted components.

AbstractTo date, evidence on optimal anticoagulant options in patients with AF who concurrently have active cancer remains elusive. To describe anticoagulant patterns and clinical outcomes among patients with a concomitant diagnosis of AF and cancer. Data were obtained from the University of Utah and Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) Hospitals. Patients were included if they had diagnosis of AF and cancer. Outcome was type and pattern of anticoagulant. Clinical outcomes were stroke, bleeding and all-cause mortality. From October 1999 to December 2020, there were 566 AF patients who concurrently had active cancer. Mean age ± standard deviation was 76.2 ± 10.7 and 57.6% were males. Comparing to warfarin, patients who received direct oral anticoagulant (DOACs) were associated with similar risk of stroke (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR 0.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2–2.7, P = 0.67). On contrary, those who received low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) were associated with significantly higher risk of stroke comparing to warfarin (aHR 2.4, 95% CI 1.0–5.6, P = 0.04). Comparing to warfarin, DOACs and LMWH was associated with similar risk of overall bleeding with aHR 1.1 (95% CI 0.7–1.6, P = 0.73) and aHR 1.1 (95% CI 0.6–1.7, P = 0.83), respectively. Patients who received LMWH but not DOACs were associated with increased risk of death as compared to warfarin, aHR 4.5 (95% CI 2.8–7.2, P < 0.001) and 1.2 (95% CI 0.7–2.2, P = 0.47). In patients with active cancer and AF, LMWH, compared to warfarin, was associated with an increased risk of stroke and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, DOACs was associated with similar risk of stroke, bleeding and death as compared to warfarin.

The Role of Human and Organizational Factors in the Pursuit of One Digital Health
Authors: Kuziemsky Craig E. 
Published: July 2023

Objective: This paper surveys a subset of the 2022 human and organizational factor (HOF) literature to provide guidance on building a One Digital Health ecosystem.
Methods: We searched a subset of journals in PubMed/Medline for studies with „human factors“ or „organization“ in the title or abstract. Papers published in 2022 were eligible for inclusion in the survey. Selected papers were categorized into structural and behavioural aspects to understand digital health enabled interactions across micro, meso, and macro systems.
Results: Our survey of the 2022 HOF literature showed that while we continue to make meaningful progress at digital health enabled interactions across systems levels, there are still challenges that must be overcome. For example, we must continue to grow the breadth of HOF research beyond individual users and systems to assist with the scale up of digital health systems across and beyond organizations. We summarize the findings by providing five HOF considerations to help build a One Digital Health ecosystem.
Conclusion: One Digital Health challenges us to improve coordination, communication, and collaboration between the health, environmental and veterinary sectors. Doing so requires us to develop both the structural and behavioural capacity of digital health systems at the organizational level and beyond so that we can develop more robust and integrated systems across health, environmental and veterinary sectors. The HOF community has much to offer and must play a leading role in designing a One Digital Health ecosystem.
Shift Work and Metabolic Syndrome Updates: A Systematic Review
Authors: Schettini Maria Alice Souza , Passos Rafael Feitosa do Nascimento , Koike Bruna Del Vechio 
Published: July 2023

AbstractShift work can cause circadian cycles disturbances and misaligns the endogenous rhythms. The physiological variables are driven by the circadian system and, its misalignment, can impair the metabolic functions. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the metabolic alterations as a result of shift work and night work reported in articles published in the last 5 years, using the eligibility criteria both gender and indexed articles in English language. In order to execute this work, we perform a systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines and searched about Chronobiology Disorders and Night Work, both related to metabolism, in Medline, Lilacs, ScienceDirect and Cochrane. Cross-sectional, cohort and experimental studies with low risk of bias were included. We found a total of 132 articles, and, after the selection process, 16 articles remained to be analyzed. It was observed that shift work can cause circadian misalignment and, consequently, some metabolic parameters alterations such as an impaired glycemic control and insulin functioning, cortisol phase release, cholesterol fractions imbalance, changes in morphological indexes and melatonin secretion. There are some limitations, such as heterogenicity in used databases and the 5 years restriction period, because the effects of sleep disturbance may have been reported earlier. In conclusion, we suggest that shift work interferes with the sleep-wake cycle and eating patterns, which cause crucial physiological alterations that, together, can lead to metabolic syndrome.
Would the Actigraph Always be Sufficient for Sleep Analysis in Exercise-Based Studies? A Case Report of Negative Response of Sleep to Exercise
Authors: Atef Hady , Gaber Marwa 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Introduction Sleep deprivation is common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It is mostly managed well by exercise. The number of reported post-CABG cases that respond negatively to exercise is scanty. The etiology is usually associated with the underlying sleep pathology, and how it responds to exercise. Cases with undiagnosed central sleep apnea post CABG have not been reported before.
Case description A medically stable male patient, 63 years old, hypertensive, but not diabetic, had entered coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 8 weeks before attending the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation unit and was referred for a cardiac rehabilitation program at this time. He entered a study in the cardiac rehabilitation center utilizing either aerobic or combined aerobic and resistance training for 10 weeks to improve sleep architecture and functional capacity post-CABG. After randomization, he entered the group doing combined aerobic and resistance exercises. All of the patients in this group improved except him, his sleep quality worsened, but his functional capacity improved. After a complete analysis of sleep on polysomnography, it was revealed that the patient had central sleep apnea that was mostly worsened by resistance training. The patient was withdrawn from the study by the 8th week, and his sleep condition improved gradually. After then, he was asked to attend the cardiac rehabilitation center again to share in aerobic exercise, having evidence that central sleep apnea does not respond negatively to this form of training. After 12 months of follow-up, the patient still shows no signs of sleep deprivation.
Conclusion Sleep deprivation is prevalent in post-CABG patients, but with different presentations and it can generally improve by exercise. Identification of the underlying cause of the sleeping difficulty is a cornerstone of targeted treatment.
What makes the blocking effect happen?
Authors: Li Nini 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This study illustrates that for the Chinese bare form reflexive ziji ‘self’, feature conflicts can cause both the local binding blocking effect and the long-distance binding blocking effect. To make long-distance binding possible, a feature-matching requirement between the long-distance antecedent and the reindexed local reflexive must be met, as proposed by Tang (1989). In addition to this, a feature-matching requirement between the verb and its subject and object must also be satisfied, with the latter likely having a suppressive effect on the former. Further research is needed to understand the interaction of these two feature-matching requirements and what constraints exist. Furthermore, the blocking effect can be triggered by a variety of factors, including syntax, feature agreement, pragmatics, discourse prominence, animacy and thematic conditions and other combined effects. Ziji’s odd performance might be the result of their joint efforts. We need to further clarify how these factors work together.
Traduire les webtoons, le renouveau d’une filière qui
cartonne

Published: July 2023

Résumé
Depuis 2003, conçus d’emblée dans une optique d’adaptations
transmédia, les webtoons (web cartoons) sud-coréens concurrencent les mangas en
noir et blanc, renouvelant le modèle nippon par un format numérique en couleur,
adapté au smartphone. Divisés en courts épisodes hebdomadaires, ils diffèrent
des BD papier par leur format, au défilement vertical qui offre de nouvelles
possibilités graphiques et narratives : linéarisation de la lecture, continuum
graphique, accroissement de la tension narrative. Ils se distinguent également
par le recours à un registre langagier jeune sans filtre, ainsi que par la
possibilité pour les auteurs et lecteurs d’interagir et pour les éditeurs de
juger de la réception des traductions. Dès 2014, le webtoon lance d’abord ses
premières versions en anglais et couvre aujourd’hui plus de dix langues, dont le
français. Au-delà d’une simple analyse de corpus, l’article est illustré des
résultats d’enquêtes soumises à des éditeurs, traducteurs et relecteurs, pour
interpréter les choix narratifs et graphiques observés. Contraintes par les
consignes des éditeurs, les stratégies traductives oscillent entre la
localisation, le maintien et la diffusion d’éléments socioculturels coréens
portés par la Soft Power coréenne.
Covid-19 WhatsApp sticker memes as public signs in Oman
Authors: Zidjaly Najma Al , Barhi Zumurrod Al 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this article, we identify a new form of public discourse that takes the shape of WhatsApp sticker memes personally created and nationally shared on WhatsApp by citizens in Oman during the Covid-19 pandemic to concomitantly act as carriers of information and as promoters of relational work. The data consist of 67 public sign stickers culled from a larger set amassed as part of an ethnographic project on Arabs and Covid-19. Drawing upon interpersonal pragmatics and visual semiotics, we examine the interplay of textual and visual modes in featured stickers, demonstrating how Omanis translated official Covid-19 instructions into three types of terse memes to facilitate communal distribution. We suggest that to encourage public cooperation, the stickers struck a culturally-imperative balance between keeping traditional norms intact while committing socially offensive acts. The article contributes to research on digital discourse by exploring sticker use as public signs in the understudied Arabic context.
Fear appeals in Chinese public signs of COVID-19 prevention in local communities
Authors: Jia Mian , Zhao Yi 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Guided by the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), this paper explicates the messaging strategies in Chinese
public signs of COVID-19 prevention in local communities. 162 signs were collected from Internet posts. Our results show that the
EPPM is a viable fear appeal framework to explain the communication of public health risks. Most signs communicated the threat of
the virus to the public, whereas fewer signs emphasized the efficacy to effectively control the threat. In addition to
communicating individual threat and efficacy, quite a few signs also highlighted collective threat and efficacy. Moreover, the
language used in these signs is tailored to local cultural and social conventions. These findings not only contribute to the
growing body of research on the interpersonal function of public signage from a Chinese perspective, but also demonstrate the
utility of combining pragmatic research with messaging strategies in health communication research.
