Published: May 2023

Abstract Background Childbirth is a life-transforming intense event to a woman and her family. Even though a variety of non-pharmacological techniques are readily available to alleviate the distress of women in labour, the majority of women are unaware of its benefits. The objective of the study was to explore the impact of a simple non-pharmacological technique i.e., antepartum breathing exercises on maternal outcomes of labour among primigravid women. Methods A single centre prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted at the antenatal outpatient clinic of a secondary healthcare institution. Eligible primigravid women were randomized into intervention and standard care groups. Both groups received standard obstetrical care. In addition, the intervention group were taught antepartum breathing exercises and were advised to practise daily and also during the active stage of labour. The primary outcome of the trial was the maternal outcome of labour measured in terms of onset of labour, nature of delivery, duration of labour, and need for augmentation of labour. Data was collected using World Health Organization (WHO) partograph, structured observational record on the outcome of labour. Results A total of 98 (70%) primigravid women who practised antepartum breathing exercises had spontaneous onset of labour. The odds of spontaneous onset of labour after randomization in the intervention group was 2.192 times more when compared to standard care at a (95% confidence interval 1.31–3.36, p<.001). Also, the requirement for augmentation of labour was minimal and there was a reduction in the rate of caesarean deliveries (p <.05) based on the χ2 test. The overall mean duration of labour was less compared to standard care group F(1)= 133.800, p <.001. Conclusion Antepartum breathing exercises during labour can facilitate spontaneous vaginal birth, shorten the duration of labour, and reduce the need for operative interference.

Published: May 2023

Background/AimsDementia is a progressive disease that can lead to functional limitations, poor quality of life, and dependency among older people. Healthcare professionals play an essential role in assisting individuals who have dementia and their caregivers. This research aimed to investigate the level of knowledge about dementia among healthcare professionals in Kuwait.MethodsHealthcare professionals from seven public hospitals in Kuwait participated in the study. The participants’ knowledge level was measured using the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale.ResultsA total of 1005 participants (36.5% males and 63.5% females) from various healthcare occupations were included in this study; physicians (n=120), occupational therapists (n=31), physical therapists (n=107), pharmacists (n=90), and nurses (n=657). The overall knowledge about dementia was generally low, with an overall mean score of 18.99 out of 50 (standard deviation 5.54).ConclusionsA lack of knowledge about dementia was identified among healthcare professionals in Kuwait. The findings demonstrate the need for more training to improve knowledge and increase awareness about this disease. Improved knowledge of dementia should lead to improved health care provided to patients living with dementia and support caregivers in managing the disease.
Line laser scanning microscopy based on the Scheimpflug principle for high-resolution topography restoration and quantitative measurement
Authors: Bian Qiuwan , Chen Xiang , He Sailing 
Published: May 2023

A line laser scanning microscopy system with a larger depth of field based on the Scheimpflug principle is proposed for high-resolution surface topography restoration and quantitative measurement on miniature non-transparent samples. An imaging model based on the Scheimpflug principle is established, and a calibration method without system parameters is derived, which is further extended to a microscopic system. The measuring range of the system is 5mm×4mm×xmm, where x is the movement distance of the displacement stage. In the z-axis direction, the relative error of measurement is about 1% when z is of the millimeter level and less than 7% when z is of the micron level, and the spatial resolution is better than 3.8 µm. In the y-axis direction, the relative error of measurement is less than 5%. Finally, three-dimensional scanning of two samples with different surfaces is carried out to verify the feasibility of the system. The experimental results show that our system has the capability of high-resolution topography restoration and can be applied in industrial production scenarios such as automatic measurement and intelligent identification.

Published: May 2023

Diffraction-based overlay (DBO) metrology has been successfully introduced to deal with the tighter overlay control in modern semiconductor manufacturing. Moreover, DBO metrology typically needs to be performed at multiple wavelengths to achieve accurate and robust measurement in the presence of overlay target deformations. In this Letter, we outline a proposal for multi-spectral DBO metrology based on the linear relation between the overlay errors and the combinations of off-diagonal-block Mueller matrix elements ΔM = M

(i = 1, 2; j = 3, 4) associated with the zeroth-order diffraction of overlay target gratings. We propose an approach that can realize snapshot and direct measurement of ΔM over a broad spectral range without any rotating or active polarization component. The simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method for multi-spectral overlay metrology in a single shot.

Authors: Kareem Ozaifa , Mufti Samiya , Nisar Sobia , Tanvir Masood , Muzaffer Umar , Ali Nahida , Sheikh Ishfaq Ahmad , Bader Ghulam Nabi 
Published: May 2023

Background
Pregnancy is a metabolically challenging state with increased nutritional demand. Thiamine is an important cofactor in various metabolic pathways and thus its deficiency could have a serious impact on both maternal and fetal outcomes. Kashmir has thiamine deficiency in endemic proportions, with multiple reports of infantile beriberi, postpartum neuropathy, and gastric beriberi. This prompted us to assess the extent of the burden of thiamine deficiency during pregnancy.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of two years in pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic. A demographic, clinical, biochemical, and dietary assessment was done in all participants. The whole blood thiamine levels were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Results
A total of 492 participants were included in the study with a mean age of 30.30±4.57 years and a mean BMI of 24.25±3.32 Kg/m2. The mean whole blood thiamine level of all participants was 133.29±14.32 nmol/L. Low thiamine status was present in 38.2% (n = 188) of participants. Participants with low thiamine had poor perinatal outcomes, with 3.1% (n = 6) reporting early infant death.

Conclusion
A high prevalence of thiamine deficiency occurs in pregnant women of Kashmir. Low thiamine is associated with poor nutritional status as well as poor perinatal outcomes.

Circulating Objects, Changing Scales
Authors: Jensen Casper 
Published: May 2023

Across the planet, the circular economy has grown into a complex governance agenda. This is also the case in Cambodia, where various formal and informal circular activities have recently coalesced into new arrangements. However, much more is at stake than questions of economic governance. By tracing the circulation of diverse objects between practices guided by different worths and correspondingly variable enactments of circularity, the present travelogue exhibits circular worlds in tension. The relative significance of these worlds and worths is negotiated and tested at sites where representatives of many worlds are present. Later, some circular formats materialize in distributed practices, scale up, and gain in reality. Others linger in the shadows, obstructed by visions of the circular economy as a single integrated system. This exercise in applied metaphysics elicits circularity and its diverse potentials as patchwork effects of circulations between uncommon worlds.
𝐻2-Conformal Approximation of Miura Surfaces
Authors: Marazzato Frédéric 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Miura ori is a very classical origami pattern used in numerous applications in engineering.
A study of the shapes that surfaces using this pattern can assume is still lacking.
A constrained nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that models the possible shapes that a periodic Miura tessellation can take in the homogenization limit has been established recently and solved only in specific cases.
In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the unconstrained PDE is proved for general Dirichlet boundary conditions.
Then an

-conforming discretization is introduced to approximate the solution of the PDE coupled to a Newton method to solve the associated discrete problem.
A convergence proof for the method is given as well as a convergence rate.
Finally, numerical experiments show the robustness of the method and that nontrivial shapes can be achieved using periodic Miura tessellations.
The trial of Demetrius: some observations on legal procedure against court misconduct under Philip V of Macedonia
Authors: Filias Dionysios 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Despite extensive scholarship on trials regarding misconduct in the court of Philip V of Macedonia, the trial of his son Demetrius on the charge of assault on his brother and heir apparent Perseus, which is the only example of a trial of a Macedonian king’s son, seems to have escaped the attention of modern historians. Given that it is an event whose most detailed description appears in Livy’s history and that the Roman historian offers a very positive picture of the romanophile Demetrius, it is easy to understand why this trial has not been considered worthy of study. Nevertheless, Livy’s account reveals that the king observed specific procedural rules which are known from the other trials he dealt with, and which demonstrates Philip’s somewhat juridical attitude in legal processes against misconduct of the members of his court. The main purpose of this article is to highlight Philip’s juridical attitude by showing the similarity of the procedure applied in the trial of Demetrius as described by Livy to the legal processes followed by Philip in the trials of his courtiers during his early reign.
Genre as Reception: A Multidimensional Network Approach
Authors: Kynes Will 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
A reception-oriented approach to genre will challenge the “objective” genre categories applied to the Bible by analyzing their culturally contingent place in the history of interpretation. It then gathers alternative genre groupings for the biblical texts from that history in order to comprehend the features of the texts more fully through the multiple ways readers have responded to their various capacities. This article incorporates conceptual blending and network theory with a growing reception-consciousness in biblical studies to develop a new three-dimensional version of the common comparison of genres to constellations. This new version communicates the value of a reception-oriented approach for appreciating the complexity of texts, biblical and otherwise, along with their readers’ cultural perspectives. The new multidimensional approach to genre that results is applied to the “Wisdom Literature” genre category as an example.
Wave propagation, bi-directional reflectionless, and coherent perfect absorption-lasing in finite periodic PT-symmetric photonic systems
Authors: Lee Jeng Yi , Chen Pai-Yen 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
With consideration of parity-time (PT) symmetry, Lorentz reciprocity theorem, and real Bloch phase, we propose a generalized parametric space for any PT-symmetric unit cells that can comprehensively illustrate the PT phase transition, Bloch phase, and necessary conditions of exotic wave scattering in the general finite periodic PT photonic structures. We put forward rigorous and formal expressions of bi-directional reflectionless and coherent perfect absorption and lasing (CPAL) for the finite one-dimensional PT photonic structures. With a new concept of the parametric space, we demonstrate the necessary PT phases of general unit cells, which result in the abnormal bi-directional reflectionless and CPAL effects. Moreover, thanks to parametrization, analytical formulas for complex relative permittivities of the unit cells composed of subwavelength gain–loss heterostructure are derived to provide a guideline for manipulating different PT scattering events. We accordingly study several one-dimensional PT photonic systems to achieve exotic wave scattering enabled by PT-symmetry. We believe this work may offer a theoretical underpinning for studying extraordinary wave phenomena of PT-symmetric photonics and may open avenues for manipulation of light.

Authors: Sundari Mei Tri , Darsono Darsono  , Sutrisno Joko , Antriyandarti Ernoiz 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the export of chili in Indonesia, determine the most dominant factor, and also the export potential of chili in the importing country. The analytical methods used are panel data analysis with gravity model and trading potential analysis. The results show that the independent variables that significantly affect Indonesia’s chili exports are Indonesia’s real GDP/capita, the real GDP/capita of the destination country, the rupiah exchange rate against the destination country, and the geographical distance between Indonesia and the destination country. The most dominant factor is the rupiah exchange rate. Indonesia’s trade is still under trade (pp > 1), so it can potentially expand the chili trade to importing countries.
Role of bioglass derivatives in tissue regeneration and repair: A review
Authors: Gao Yang , Seles Mohan Anne , Rajan Mariappan 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Bioceramics are significantly contributing in repairing and reconstructing the defective areas of the musculoskeletal system. Bioactive glass is a non-crystalline bioceramic that has been widely used in regeneration due to its extensive bone-forming ability and biocompatibility. The plethora of bioactive glass research has been buried over the years in the area of bone construction in various forms. The composition of the bioactive glass with its network formers and modifier plays a vital role in bone-forming ability and prevents crystallization. The hybrid polymer and metal ion-doped bioactive glass add advantages to bone tissue repair. The development and the challenge during the preparation of bioactive glasses have been discussed in this review. Based on the orthopedic defect, their porous size, volume, and even mechanical properties can be tailored to obtain the desired scaffold combined with the therapeutic delivery of bioactive compounds. Bone tissue engineering is inevitable without the process of osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteointegration, and their role in bioactive glass was reported. Bioactive glass is the key contributor to the glass age, and it has been subjected to medicinal applications for tissue repair, regeneration, and therapeutic agent delivery.
Speech act adverbial clauses: The case of conditionaljeśli-clauses in Polish
Authors: Jędrzejowski Łukasz 
Published: May 2023

SummaryIn this article, I examine the external and internal syntax of speech act adverbial clauses in Polish with the main focus on conditional clauses headed by the complementizerjeśli‘if’. I argue that speech act adverbial clauses radically differ from hypothetical/content conditional clauses, and that they adjoin outside the structure of the matrix clause. As far as their internal syntax is concerned, I discuss evidence showing that speech act adverbial clauses project up to JP in Krifka’s terms (2023), and can also host epistemic and evidential expressions.
Enterprise Risk Management, Board Financial Qualification, and Firm Value
Authors: Putri Rifda Nabilla , Makaryanawati Makaryanawati 
Published: May 2023

Purpose : The intention of this study is to get empirical evidence regarding the effect of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) disclosure on firm value and the effect of Board Financial Qualification (BFQ) in moderating Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) on firm value.
Method : This research uses content analysis with 53 samples of financial company sectors, which are banks and insurance companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020. The analysis technique used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).
Findings : The results show that ERM has a negative effect on firm value. This happens because the disclosure of risk management in banking and insurance companies in Indonesia is an obligation, so investors do not pay attention to the disclosure of risk management as a basis for assessing the company. In addition, this study also proves that BFQ is a variable that is able to moderate the effect of ERM on firm value. The board of directors with a financial education background has better knowledge of risk management thereby strengthening the implementation of ERM in a company.
Novelty : This study using ERM disclosure items based on COSO 2017. While previous research based on COSO 2009.
Keywords : Enterprise Risk Management; Firm Value, Board Financial Qualification; Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA)

Published: May 2023

Background
Survivors of childhood brain tumours (SCBT) and teenage and young adult cancer survivors have an adverse cardiovascular risk profile, which translates into an increased vascular mortality. Data on cardiovascular risk profiles in SCBT are limited, and furthermore, there are no data in adult-onset (AO) brain tumours.

Patients and
methods: Fasting lipids, glucose, insulin, 24-h blood pressure (BP), and body composition were measured in 36 brain tumour survivors (20 AO; 16 childhood-onset (CO)) and 36 age- and gender-matched controls.

Results
Compared with controls, patients had elevated total cholesterol (5.3 ± 1.1 vs 4.6 ± 1.0 mmol/L, P = 0.007), LDL-C (3.1 ± 0.8 vs 2.7 ± 0.9 mmol/L, P = 0.011), insulin (13.4 ± 13.1 vs 7.6 ± 3.3 miu/L, P = 0.014), and increased insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) 2.90 ± 2.84 vs 1.66 ± 0.73, P = 0.016). Patients showed adverse body composition, with increased total body fat mass (FM) (24.0 ± 12.2 vs 15.7 ± 6.6 kg, P < 0.001) and truncal FM (13.0 ± 6.7 vs 8.2 ± 3.7 kg, P < 0.001).
After stratification by timing of onset, CO survivors showed significantly increased LDL-C, insulin, and HOMA-IR compared with controls. Body composition was characterized by the increased total body and truncal FM. Truncal fat mass was increased by 84.1% compared with controls. AO survivors showed similar adverse cardiovascular risk profiles, with increased total cholesterol and HOMA-IR. Truncal FM was increased by 41.0% compared with matched controls (P = 0.029). No difference in mean 24-h BP was noted between patients and controls irrespective of the timing of cancer diagnosis.

Conclusion
The phenotype of both CO and AO brain tumour survivors is characterized by an adverse metabolic profile and body composition, putatively placing long-term survivors at increased risk of vascular morbidity and mortality.
