Authors: Múries‐Cantán Olga , Giné Climent , Brown Roy I. , Aguiar Natasha Baqués , Schippers Alice P. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSiblings' interactions and shared experiences influence their perceptions of quality of life. Recently, research about siblings of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities has been significantly expanded but data from Southern European countries is still missing. This research was carried out in Catalonia (northeast Spain) a region in the Mediterranean area with its own shared culture, language and traditions that equally embraces an important diversity of ethnicities and cultures. The main aim was to collect siblings' perceptions on quality of life from siblings' own voices. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 14 siblings aged 5–11 years old and thematically analyzed using the following domains: joint activities; mutual understanding; private time; acceptance; forbearance; trust in well‐being; exchanging experiences; social support; and dealing with the outside world. Siblings reported a variety of experiences in relation to having a brother or a sister with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including unique characteristics of their quality of life perceptions. There were also some common factors amongst the siblings' experiences, such as the importance of being able to communicate properly with their brothers or sisters with I/DD. It emerged that having their own time with their parents was an important factor in their own development. This research echoes some siblings' beliefs that society needs to provide a conscious revision of values and ideas regarding disability. Implications for research and practice are described.
The austral biflagellate Chloromonas rubroleosa (Chlorophyceae) is the closest relative of the unusual quadriflagellate genus Chlainomonas, both found in snow

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe quadriflagellate genus Chlainomonas frequently dominates red snow globally. It is unusual in several respects, with two separated pairs of flagella, apparent cell division via extrusion of cytoplasmic threads, and being nested phylogenetically within the biflagellate genus Chloromonas. Here, we showed that the austral species Chloromonas (Cr.) rubroleosa, originally described from Antarctic red snow, is a close biflagellate relative of Chlainomonas, challenging the monophyly of Chlainomonas as currently conceived. Sequences of the 18S rRNA gene robustly linked Cr. rubroleosa with near‐identical environmental sequences from Antarctic red snow and Chlainomonas from North America, Japan, and Europe. Furthermore, the 18S rRNA and rbcL gene sequences of Cr. rubroleosa were almost identical to New Zealand and North American collections of Chlainomonas. Cr. rubroleosa and New Zealand Chlainomonas are separated by only a single‐base substitution across the ITS1‐5.8S‐ITS2 rRNA loci (and according to ITS2, the North American collection is the next closest relative). This again raises the possibility that Chlainomonas is a life‐cycle stage of vegetatively biflagellate organisms, although this remains confounded by the scarcity of biflagellates in field populations, the apparent cell division by quadriflagellates, and the absence of Chlainomonas‐type cells in cultures of Cr. rubroleosa. The latter species is broadly similar to Chlainomonas, being poor at swimming, with similar pigment, chloroplast arrangement and ultrastructure, and is relatively large. Increased size is a feature of the wider clade of “Group D” snow algae. A synthesis of field and laboratory investigations may be needed to unravel the life cycle and correct the systematics of this group.
The peculiarity of the dialectical ideas of the Second Teacher, a prominent representative of the Muslim Renaissance
Authors: Imankul Zhabaikhan , Abdildin Zhabaikhan , Aubakirova Saltanat 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper investigates the development of dialectical concepts about the universe, being, metaphysics, scientific methods, and the knowledge of philosophers. The methods it uses are mainly theoretical and empirical methods, such as analysis and synthesis. Within the boundaries of the designated topic, it offers a systematic analysis of the historical periodization of Arab Muslim philosophy from the eighth century to the twentieth. The paper examines the activities of the prominent philosopher and mathematician Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn Muhammad al‐Farabi, showing the circumstances of his borrowing certain forms, concepts, and structures from ancient Greek philosophers. The paper's main conclusion is that al‐Farabi is a Second Teacher in modern philosophy, meaning the continuation in his works of the search for a scientific approach to the study of various forms of being.
James and Carnap on philosophical systems and the role of temperaments
Authors: Simpson Shawn 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe relationship between American pragmatism and logical empiricism is complicated at best. The received view is that by around the late 1930s or early 1940s pragmatism had been replaced, supplanted, or eclipsed by the younger and more logic‐oriented form of empiricism developed in interwar Vienna. Recently, however, this picture has been challenged, and this paper offers further reasons for thinking that the received view is inadequate. Through a critical examination of William James'sPragmatismand “The Sentiment of Rationality” and Rudolf Carnap's “Elimination of Metaphysics Through Logical Analysis of Language” and other works, the paper builds a case for the existence of a rather striking correspondence between the work of one of pragmatism's most vaunted figures and the thought of logical empiricism's most famous advocate. Not only were both philosophers interested in what might be called metaphilosophy or the psychology of philosophy, both held very similar deflationary views.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundInvasive fungal diseases (IFD) are life‐threatening and demand timely and appropriate treatment. Research showed that isavuconazole treatment positively affects clinical outcome and length of hospital stay (LOS).ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the hospital costs of patients diagnosed with IFD and treated with isavuconazole using real‐world data from a German cancer centre.Patients/MethodsData and LOS collected from Jan‐2016 to Jun‐2021 at Department I of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Cologne were retrieved. Case‐related resources consumed during the hospital stay across isavuconazole routes of administration (oral, parenteral, and mixed administration) were identified, quantified, valued and compared via a cost analysis that adopted the healthcare payer perspective.ResultsIn total, 101 cases with isavuconazole treatment were identified (oral:n = 22, 21.8%; parenteral:n = 59, 58.4%; mixed:n = 20, 19.8%). Median total LOS was greater in the mixed group (46.5 days;p = .009). Median ICU LOS and ventilation duration were both longest in the parenteral‐only group (16 days,p = .008; 224 h,p = .003). Invasive aspergillosis was the most frequent isavuconazole indication (n = 86, 85.2%). Average hospital costs were highest in the mixed group (€ 101,226). The median overall costs of cases treated with isavuconazole was € 52,050.ConclusionsTreating IFD is resource intensive, often requires intensive care and implies high rates of in‐hospital mortality. Our study emphasises the high hospital treatment costs and thus the need for reimbursement systems to enable live‐saving costly treatments.
Aortogenic emboli might play an important role in the development of delayed leukoencephalopathy after mechanical thrombectomy

AbstractA 76‐year‐old man developed delayed leukoencephalopathy 3 weeks after successful mechanical thrombectomy for middle cerebral artery occlusion. Pathological evaluation of the removed thrombus showed cholesterol clefts and fibrin with inflammatory cell infiltration, which were compatible with aortogenic embolism. Delayed leukoencephalopathy following recanalization in ischemic stroke has only been rarely reported, and the etiology in all the previously reported cases was cardioembolism, which is distinct from our case. Through this case, we considered that disruption of the blood–brain barrier caused by thrombus composed of cholesterol crystals and fibrin could be a trigger for delayed leukoencephalopathy. This case should provide better understanding of delayed leukoencephalopathy after acute ischemic stroke.
Motivations of Subsistence Farming in Hungary: Analysis of a Multi‐Factored Phenomenon☆
Authors: Kovách Imre , Megyesi Gergely Boldizsár 
Published: January 2023

AbstractOur paper aims to explore the role of subsistence farming in Hungary by reviewing the literature, analyzing the primary data from a representative survey conducted in 2018 in Hungary and presenting two case‐studies. According to European and national‐level policy analysis, subsistence farming is a cornerstone of European agriculture, as it is a central element of a positive rural image. The paper is based on earlier theories on subsistence farming, and argues that it is worth analyzing the different factors influencing subsistence farming in order to better understand the motivations of participating in this kind of activity. The paper analyses the role of five different factors on subsistence farming: economic, societal, policy, discursive, and sustainability factors, and argues that, although all five factors are important in order to understand the phenomenon, economic and policy factors are the most important in this type of activity, while sustainability is almost imperceptible.
Fiscal risks and their impact on banks' capital buffers in South Africa
Authors: Makrelov Konstantin , Pillay Neryvia , Morule Bojosi 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSouth Africa's fiscal balances have deteriorated significantly over the last decade, although the economy has been recording disappointing economic growth rates even prior to the COVID‐19 crisis. In this paper, we estimate a series of equations to test how sovereign risk premia affect capital buffers, while controlling for variables identified in the literature, such as size of banks and the economic cycle. Unlike other studies, we use actual capital buffers. We show that these are substantively different to the proxy buffers calculated using the common approach in the literature, indicating that results based on proxy measures should be interpreted with caution. Our overall results show a positive relationship between the sovereign risk premium and capital buffers. This suggests that banks are accumulating capital to mitigate against fiscal and other domestic policy risks. It is likely that this is contributing to higher lending rates.
Vector breathers in the Manakov system
Authors: Gelash Andrey , Raskovalov Anton 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWe study theoretically the nonlinear interactions of vector breathers propagating on an unstable wavefield background. As a model, we use the two‐component extension of the one‐dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation—the Manakov system. With the dressing method, we generate the multibreather solutions to the Manakov model. As shown previously in [D. Kraus, G. Biondini, and G. Kovačič, Nonlinearity 28(9), 3101, (2015)], the class of vector breathers is presented by three fundamental types I, II, and III. Their interactions produce a broad family of the two‐component (polarized) nonlinear wave patterns. First, we demonstrate that the type I and the types II and III correspond to two different branches of the dispersion law of the Manakov system in the presence of the unstable background. Then, we investigate the key interaction scenarios, including collisions of standing and moving breathers and resonance breather transformations. Analysis of the two‐breather solution allows us to derive general formulas describing phase and space shifts acquired by breathers in mutual collisions. The found expressions enable us to describe the asymptotic states of the breather interactions and interpret the resonance fusion and decay of breathers as a limiting case of infinite space shift in the case of merging breather eigenvalues. Finally, we demonstrate that only type I breathers participate in the development of modulation instability from small‐amplitude perturbations withing the superregular scenario, while the breathers of types II and III, belonging to the stable branch of the dispersion law, are not involved in this process.

TSSuBERT: How to Sum Up Multiple Years of Reading in a Few Tweets
Authors: Dusart Alexis , Pinel-Sauvagnat Karen , Hubert Gilles 
Published: January 2023

The development of deep neural networks and the emergence of pre-trained language models such as BERT allow to increase performance on many NLP tasks. However, these models do not meet the same popularity for tweet stream summarization, which is probably because their computation limitation requires to drastically truncate the textual input.
Our contribution in this article is threefold. First, we propose a neural model to automatically and incrementally summarize huge tweet streams. This extractive model combines in an original way pre-trained language models and vocabulary frequency based representations to predict tweet salience. An additional advantage of the model is that it automatically adapts the size of the output summary according to the input tweet stream. Second, we detail an original methodology to construct tweet stream summarization datasets requiring little human effort. Third, we release the TES 2012-2016 dataset constructed using the aforementioned methodology. Baselines, oracle summaries, gold standard, and qualitative assessments are made publicly available.
To evaluate our approach, we conducted extensive quantitative experiments using three different tweet collections as well as an additional qualitative evaluation. Results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art ones. We believe that this work opens avenues of research for incremental summarization, which has not received much attention yet.

Published: January 2023

Key–value (KV) software has proven useful to a wide variety of applications including analytics, time-series databases, and distributed file systems. To satisfy the requirements of diverse workloads, KV stores have been carefully tailored to best match the performance characteristics of underlying solid-state block devices. Emerging KV storage device is a promising technology for both simplifying the KV software stack and improving the performance of persistent storage-based applications. However, while providing fast, predictable put and get operations, existing KV storage devices do not natively support range queries that are critical to all three types of applications described above.
In this article, we present KVRangeDB, a software layer that enables processing range queries for existing hash-based KV solid-state disks (KVSSDs). As an effort to adapt to the performance characteristics of emerging KVSSDs, KVRangeDB implements log-structured merge tree key index that reduces compaction I/O, merges keys when possible, and provides separate caches for indexes and values. We evaluated the KVRangeDB under a set of representative workloads, and compared its performance with two existing database solutions: a Rocksdb variant ported to work with the KVSSD, and Wisckey, a key–value database that is carefully tuned for conventional block devices. On filesystem aging workloads, KVRangeDB outperforms Wisckey by 23.7× in terms of throughput and reduce CPU usage and external write amplifications by 14.3× and 9.8×, respectively.

Published: January 2023

Objective. To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood total bilirubin (TBIL) levels and the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods. This study was a cross-sectional, case-control study design. Between April 2021 and January 2022, 198 POAG patients and 205 healthy subjects were recruited from the EENT Hospital of Fudan University. Their clinical information (intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, vertical cup-disk ratios (VCDR), and axial length) and demographic data were collected. Serum levels of TBIL were measured in enzymes using a Roche C702 biochemical analyzer. The POAG subgroups were classified by gender and VCDR: mild (

VCDR
≤
0.64

), moderate (

VCDR
≤
0.85

), and severe (

VCDR
>
0.85

). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results. The level of TBIL (

11.58
±
5.16

μmol/L) in the POAG group was higher than that in the control group (

10.18
±
3.38

μmol/L;

p
<
0.05

). In the male subgroup, TBIL was also significantly higher than in the normal control group; TBIL levels were lower in the mild subgroup (

10.82
±
4.48

μmol/L), followed by the moderate subgroup (

12.00
±
5.55

μmol/L) and the severe subgroup (

14.47
±
5.45

μmol/L). The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high TBIL levels were a risk factor for male POAG, at 1.126 (95% CI 1.009–1.256). Pearson’s analysis revealed that TBIL was positively correlated with intraocular pressure (

r
=
0.134

,

p
=
0.012

), VCDR (

r
=
0.142

,

p
=
0.046

), anterior chamber depth (

r
=
0.190

,

p
=
0.014

), and axial length (

r
=
0.179

,

p
=
0.019

) in the patients. However, no statistical difference (

p
<
0.05

) was observed in the female patients with POAG. Conclusion. The results showed that high levels of TBIL may be related to the pathogenesis of POAG and that the severity of the disease is positively correlated, especially in male patients.

Objectives Brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) monitoring was used to identify the influence of auditory function during cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery for cranial neuropathy via the retrosigmoid approach. Methods This prospective study included 20 patients who underwent CPA surgery for cranial neuropathy via the retrosigmoid approach with intraoperative BAEP monitoring and pure tone audiometry (PTA). The latency and interpeak latency were analyzed at each surgical step in combination with the pre- and postoperative PTA. Results Follow-up data were available for 17 patients. The mean pre- and postoperative PTA values were 25.65 dB and 20.70 dB, respectively. Two patients (2/17, 11.76%) developed hearing loss postoperatively. The latency of wave І significantly changed during direct auditory nerve manipulation and at the end of the surgery, while that of wave III only changed during direct auditory nerve manipulation. The appearance of wave V peak was delayed during CPA surgery. Conclusions CPA surgery for cranial neuropathy via the retrosigmoid approach can cause hearing loss to varying degrees, and intraoperative BAEP monitoring can reduce the occurrence of hearing loss. Intraoperative hearing function can be estimated by the latency of wave I. Hearing loss due to stretching of the brainstem can be estimated by the latency of wave III, and wave V is an early indicator of intraoperative hearing loss. Waves I and III remained stable both pre- and postoperatively, whereas wave V was unstable despite no surgery. Therefore, a precise operation and well-defined operative steps for surgeons during CPA surgery could facilitate maximal preservation of the anatomical structure and function.

Published: January 2023

In this study, we aimed to determine whether paid work has an impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among older adults. Over three years, we longitudinally collected data from 5,260 community-dwelling older adults aged 75 years or older from a city in Japan. We assessed HRQOL using the Short-Form-8. We estimated the mean difference between the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS) scores, which were stratified based on gender using multivariate, generalized estimating equation models. We further conducted a subgroup analysis based on the participants’ occupational backgrounds. Engagement in paid work was associated with increased MCS scores across both genders and with increased PCS scores among women. In the subgroup analysis, only women who had previously worked as managerial workers showed an inverse association with MCS scores. In this population, engagement in paid work may be a crucial factor associated with well-being.
Access and Use of Preventive Health Care by Adolescents in Immigrant Families: An Integrative Review
Authors: Durning Jennifer Dean , Moriarty Helene 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: More than 25% of American adolescents live in immigrant families. This cohort of adolescents is a minority group with amplified health challenges. The purpose of this study was to provide an integrative review of quantitative research on the access and use of primary and preventive health care by adolescents in immigrant families. Method: Searches yielded 460 reports, 54 of them satisfied criteria for full-text review, and four publications met inclusion criteria. Results: Research, albeit very limited, revealed that adolescents in immigrant families have poor access to and use of preventive health care. Discussion: Lack of primary health care may prevent identification of health risks in immigrant adolescents and lead them to perceive that preventive health care is unnecessary. Researchers are challenged to develop and test health promotion interventions tailored for these adolescents. Study recruitment outside of high schools, the typical setting, is critical to advance knowledge and improve access for this vulnerable population.
