Published: May 2023

AbstractRectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain associated with several risk factors including trauma, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pregnancy, and anticoagulation as it can be iatrogenic. Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), combined usage of a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and aspirin, is a cornerstone treatment for patients with acute coronary syndromes. Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with several adverse hemorrhagic complications. An 86-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass at the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. His medical history revealed coronary artery disease with medications including acetylsalicylic acid and ticagrelor. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed RSH. The patient was treated conservatively with bed rest and analgesia. DAPT is an essential component of the management of acute coronary syndromes to prevent recurrent cardiac thrombotic events. However, hemorrhagic complications such as RSH may be encountered with DAPT. Emergency medicine physicians and cardiologists should keep in mind RSH in patients presenting with abdominal pain and using DAPT with ticagrelor.

Abstract
Digital channelization decomposes a wideband signal into multiple adjacent sub-bands using Parallel Technology. Channelization can effectively reduce the pressure on the radio astronomy digital backends system and make wideband signal processing possible. Aiming at the problems of signal attenuation at sub-band edge, spectral leakage and aliasing encountered in wideband signal channelization, algorithms to reduce the problems are studied. We design a Critically Sampled Polyphase Filter Bank (CS-PFB) based on the Finite Impulse Response digital filter with a Hamming Window and systematically analyze the frequency response characteristics of the CS-PFB. Based on the channelized structure of the CS-PFB, an OverSampled Polyphase Filter Bank (OS-PFB) is designed by data reuse, and the filtering frequency response characteristics of CS-PFB and OS-PFB are compared and analyzed. Using the wideband baseband data generated by the CASPSR (Collaboration for Astronomy Signal processing and electronics research Parkes Swinburne Recorder), we implement sub-band division and 16-band output of these data based on the 2× oversampling OS-PFB, and the problem of spectrum inversion in the sub-bands is corrected. After removing 25% of redundant data in the head and tail of each sub-band, we recombine the sub-bands into a wideband. The wideband signal is almost identical to the original observed signal. Therefore, the experimental results show that the OS-PFB can improve the channel response. For the 400 MHz baseband data of J0437-4715, we compare the pulse profile obtained from the original baseband data with the pulse profile obtained after the channelization and recombination. The phase and amplitude information of the pulse profiles are consistent, which verifies the correctness of our channelization algorithm.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this study, four different combinations of aluminium metal matrix composites (AMCs) were produced using a computerized stir casting process. The feasibility of using car Scrap Aluminium Engine Head (SAEH) as matrix material, Fresh Alumina Catalyst (FAC) and Spent Alumina Catalyst (SAC) from petrochemical industries as reinforcement material were investigated. The physical and mechanical properties of the cast samples were tested through density, hardness, tensile, compression, and impact test. Microstructural investigations were carried out using an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were also conducted to justify the results obtained. The results indicated that SAEH reinforced with 5 wt% SAC exhibited lower porosity (2.6%) and higher Brinell hardness (71.5 BHN), Vickers hardness (307.1 VHN), tensile strength (217 MPa), and compressive strength (426 MPa) than other composites. Additionally, this composite showed the highest impact strength (0.02375 J mm−2) and DTA value (568.5 μV mg−1). The TGA result showed that all composites had high thermal stability, with the SAC-reinforced composites having the highest thermal stability (100.13%).
Benchmarking Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Smoking: Challenges and Opportunities for Public Health
Authors: Smith Robert W , Holt-Lunstad Julianne , Kawachi Ichiro 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Over the past decade, the health implications of social isolation and loneliness garnered global attention due in part to a widely cited meta-analysis that benchmarked associations between cigarette smoking and mortality with associations between several social-relationship measures and mortality. Leaders in health systems, research, government, and popular media have since claimed that the harms of social isolation and loneliness are comparable to that of cigarette smoking. Our commentary examines the basis of this comparison. We suggest that comparisons between social isolation, loneliness, and smoking have been helpful for raising awareness of robust evidence linking social relationships and health. However, the analogy often oversimplifies the evidence and may overemphasize treating social isolation or loneliness at the individual level without sufficient attention on population-level prevention. As communities, governments, and health and social sector practitioners navigate opportunities for change, we believe now is time to focus greater attention on the structures and environments that promote and constrain healthy relationships.
An Ontology as Support for Specification of Non-functional Requirements of AAL Systems Considering Compliance Aspects
Authors: Silva Timóteo G , Alencar Fernanda 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Ambient assisted living (AAL) is a technological approach that emerged to meet the demands of seniors and people with disabilities. Because they are considered complex and multidisciplinary systems, it is necessary to identify and define which elements need to compose these systems. These challenges and the need for assistance in specifying requirements have led the academic community to explore and establish new approaches for the development of AAL systems. For this, there is the integration of different areas of knowledge, such as ontology, requirements engineering and compliance. Therefore, this work presents a central ontology to support the specification of requirements in AAL systems, where the elements that are part of the type of system are integrated. With the use of this ontology, it was possible to develop a domain ontology for vertical elevation platforms, where a validation was carried out with the industry in relation to the elements that constitute it and, later, a scenario was built to verify the syntactic correction of ontology. With the use of ontology, it will be possible to standardize the understanding of the associated terms and, at the same time, verify the relationships between the elements and help the designer in the requirements specification stage.
Theorizing about the executive in the modern state
Authors: MacDonnell Vanessa A 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Margit Cohn has written a terrific new book about the executive branch of state. Writing against the backdrop of a wave of executive aggrandizement in constitutional democracies around the world, Cohn sets herself the ambitious task of constructing a theoretical account of executive power. What emerges is a theory built around the twin themes of tension and legality. In most constitutional systems, she argues, the law provides broad general authorization for executive action, leaving the state with a wide margin to maneuver while still being able to brandish the mantle of legality. For Cohn, this raises rule of law and democracy concerns. In this review essay, I suggest that we should follow Cohn’s twin themes through to their logical conclusion. Perhaps controversially, I suggest that where this takes us is not exactly where Cohn ends up. Rather than countering strong executives with strong courts, we should adopt the plural approach Cohn mentions in passing at the outset of the book. This means exploiting institutions’ strengths and attempting to respond meaningfully to their weaknesses. In doing so, we must be careful not to adopt responses to executive power that erect unnecessary obstacles to governance in the public interest.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSyringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is a rare, hamartomatous tumor of the apocrine glands, which typically manifests in the head and neck region. We present a case of 60-year-old male with a several-year history of the lesion located on the abdominal wall and a second case of a 58-year-old male with a history of a slow-growing lesion located on the tragus. Despite varying presentations and locations, both patients were identified to have SCAP on pathological evaluation. Appropriate treatments of SCAP range from CO2 laser treatment to surgical excision; we recommend surgical excision due to the risk of malignant transformation.
Interviewer Involvement in Respondent Selection Moderates the Relationship Between Response Rates and Sample Bias in Cross-National Survey Projects in Europe
Authors: Kołczyńska Marta , Jabkowski Piotr , Eckman Stephanie 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Survey researchers and practitioners often assume that higher response rates are associated with a higher quality of survey data. However, the evidence for this claim in face-to-face surveys is mixed. To explain these mixed results, recent studies have proposed that interviewers’ involvement in respondent selection moderates the effect of response rates on data quality. Previous analyses based on data from the European Social Survey found that response rates are positively associated with data quality when interviewer involvement in respondent selection is minimal. However, the association between response rates and data quality is negative when interviewers are more involved in respondent selection through household frame creation or within-household selection of target persons. These studies have hypothesized that some interviewers deviate from prescribed selection procedures to select individuals with higher response propensities, which increase response rates while reducing data quality. We replicate these results with an extended dataset, including more recent European Social Survey rounds and three other European survey projects: the European Quality of Life Survey, European Values Study, and International Social Survey Programme. Based on our results, we recommend that surveys include procedures to verify respondent-selection practices into their fieldwork control procedures.
Curvature geometry in 2D materials
Authors: Wei Nan , Ding Yiran , Zhang Jiaqian , Li Linyi , Zeng Mengqi , Fu Lei 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
The two-dimensional (2D) material family can be regarded as the extreme externalization form of the matter in the planar 2D space. These atomically thin materials have abundant curvature structures, which will significantly affect their atomic configurations and physicochemical properties. Curvature engineering offers a new tuning freedom beyond the thoroughly studied layer number, grain boundaries, stacking order, etc. The precise control of the curvature geometry in 2D materials can redefine this material family. Special attention will be given to this emerging field and highlight possible future directions. With the step-by-step achievement in understanding the curvature engineering effect in 2D materials and establishing reliable delicate curvature controlling strategies, a brand-new era of 2D materials research could be developed.
Epidemiological Impact of the Pediatric Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) Program on Group A Streptococcus (GAS) Infection in England
Authors: Sinnathamby Mary A , Warburton Fiona , Guy Rebecca , Andrews Nick , Lamagni Theresa , Watson Conall , Bernal Jamie Lopez 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Background
Influenza is known to predispose to secondary bacterial infections including invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) disease. The universal pediatric live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) program introduced in England from the 2013/2014 influenza season was implemented incrementally, introducing cohorts of children annually to 2–16 years of coverage. Additionally, from the beginning of the program, discrete pilot areas offered LAIV vaccination to all primary school–age children, allowing for a unique comparison of infection rates between pilot and nonpilot areas during the program rollout.

Methods
Cumulative incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of GAS infections (all), scarlet fever (SF), and iGAS infection within each season by age group were compared for pilot and nonpilot areas using Poisson regression. The overall effect of the pilot program in the pre- (2010/2011–2012/2013 seasons) and postintroduction (2013/2014–2016/2017 seasons) periods was assessed using negative binomial regression by comparing changes in incidence between pilot/nonpilot areas (ratio of IRR [rIRR]).

Results
Reductions in IRRs of GAS and SF were observed within most post-LAIV program seasons, among the age groups 2–4 and 5–10 years. Significant reductions were seen among 5–10 years (rIRR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.45–0.71; P &lt; .001), 2–4 years (rIRR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.43–0.90; P = .011), and 11–16 years (rIRR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.43–0.90; P = .018) for GAS infections when assessing the overall effect of the program.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that vaccination with LAIV may be associated with a reduced risk of GAS infection and support attaining high uptake of childhood influenza vaccination.
Social Workers Should Stand against Physical Punishment of Children
Authors: Lee Shawna J 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the leading professional organization for social work that established the Code of Ethics and sets the policy agenda for the profession. Guided by the Code of Ethics and the Grand Challenges for Social Work goal to “build healthy relationships to end violence,” the NASW Social Work Speaks policy compendium should reassert its statement against the physical punishment of children. This recommendation aligns with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and children’s right to protection from violence; the rigorous empirical research base, which demonstrates that physical punishment has detrimental consequences to child well-being; and similar policy statements issued by allied professional organizations. The NASW policies can advocate for ending violence against children by providing guidance on disciplinary practices that are based on principles of nonviolence and that respect children’s human rights. Practitioners can support caregivers through interventions that provide alternatives to physical punishment.
12Posthumanism
Authors: Nayar Pramod K 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Varieties of posthumanism in literature and popular culture received sustained attention, as expected, in 2022. Human–nonhuman relationships, whether in terms of the human–animal or human–artificial-being relationship; issues of care for/of the nonhuman; theological debates around posthumanism, especially with regard to rituals, practices of belief, and the ‘digital afterlife’; and the different genealogies of the posthuman, were themes that informed a large number of essays and books. This chapter aims for a comprehensive survey of the year’s work and is organized around six sections that seek to summarize the major contributions to work in posthumanism: 1. Theorizing Posthumanism; 2. Literary Posthumanisms; 3. Popular Posthumanisms; 4. Posthumanism and the Disciplines; 5. The Nonhuman; and 6. Posthumanism after the Pandemic.
RISK FACTORS FOR PUPILLARY OPTIC CAPTURE FOLLOWING SUTURELESS FLANGED INTRAOCULAR LENS FIXATION FOR INTRAOCULAR LENS DISLOCATION
Authors: Do Jae Rock , Park Su Jin , Kim Jin Young , Shin Jae Pil , Park Dong Ho 
Published: May 2023

Purpose:
To identify risk factors for pupillary optic capture after sutureless flanged intraocular lens (IOL) fixation for IOL dislocation.

Methods:
This retrospective comparative study enrolled consecutive patients who underwent flanged IOL fixation using 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. One hundred twenty-six eyes (126 patients) were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of pupillary optic capture. A swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography and a rotating Scheimpflug camera were used to analyze and compare surgical parameters, including axial length, anterior chamber depth, differences in scleral tunnel angle and length, and IOL tilt and decentration, between the two groups.

Results:
Compared with the nonpupillary optic capture group (106 eyes, 84.1%), the pupillary optic capture group (20 eyes, 15.9%) had larger differences in the nasal and temporal scleral tunnel angles and larger horizontal tilt (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that these factors correlated with the occurrence of pupillary optic capture (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
To prevent pupillary optic capture after flanged IOL fixation, surgeons should avoid asymmetry in the angles of the nasal and temporal scleral tunnels, which causes horizontal IOL tilt and subsequent pupillary capture.
Predicting deep surgical site infection in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery: A-DOUBLE-SSI risk score – a large retrospective multicenter cohort study in China
Authors: Cheng Lei , Liu Jiesheng , Lian Liyi , Duan Wanru , Guan Jian , Wang Kai , Liu Zhenlei , Wang Xingwen , Wang Zuowei , Wu Hao , Chen Zan , Wang Jianzhen , Jian Fengzeng 
Published: May 2023

Background:
To develop a practical prediction model to predict the risk of deep surgical site infection (SSI) in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery.

Methods:
Data of 3419 patients in four hospitals from 1 January 2012 to 30 December 2021 were evaluated. The authors used clinical knowledge-driven, data-driven, and decision tree model to identify predictive variables of deep SSI. Forty-three candidate variables were collected, including 5 demographics, 29 preoperative, 5 intraoperative, and 4 postoperative variables. According to model performance and clinical practicability, the best model was chosen to develop a risk score. Internal validation was performed by using bootstrapping methods.

Results:
After open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery, 158 patients (4.6%) developed deep SSI. The clinical knowledge-driven model yielded 12 predictors of deep SSI, while the data-driven and decision tree model produced 11 and 6 predictors, respectively. A knowledge-driven model, which had the best C-statistics [0.81 (95% CI: 0.78–0.85)] and superior calibration, was chosen due to its favorable model performance and clinical practicality. Moreover, 12 variables were identified in the clinical knowledge-driven model, including age, BMI, diabetes, steroid use, albumin, duration of operation, blood loss, instrumented segments, powdered vancomycin administration, duration of drainage, postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and early postoperative activities. In bootstrap internal validation, the knowledge-driven model still showed optimal C-statistics (0.79, 95% CI: 0.75–0.83) and calibration. Based on these identified predictors, a risk score for deep SSI incidence was created: the A-DOUBLE-SSI (Age, D [Diabetes, Drainage], O [duration of Operation, vancOmycin], albUmin, B [BMI, Blood loss], cerebrospinal fluid Leakage, Early activities, Steroid use, and Segmental Instrumentation) risk score. Based on the A-DOUBLE-SSI score system, the incidence of deep SSI increased in a graded fashion from 1.06% (A-DOUBLE-SSIs score ≤8) to 40.6% (A-DOUBLE-SSIs score>15).

Conclusions:
The authors developed a novel and practical model, the A-DOUBLE-SSIs risk score, that integrated easily accessible demographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables and could be used to predict individual risk of deep SSI in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery.
Resistin Pathway as Novel Mechanism of Post-lung Transplantation Bronchial Stenosis
Authors: Yu Diana H. , Lin Qing , Fan Chunling , Skinner John T. , Thiboutot Jeffrey P. , Yarmus Lonny B. , Johns Roger A. 
Published: May 2023

Background:
Bronchial stenosis remains a significant source of morbidity among lung transplant recipients. Though infection and anastomotic ischemia have been proposed etiologies of the development of bronchial stenosis, the pathophysiologic mechanism has not been well elucidated.

Methods:
In this single-centered prospective study, from January 2013 through September 2015, we prospectively collected bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and endobronchial epithelial brushings from the direct anastomotic site of bronchial stenosis of bilateral lung transplant recipients who developed unilateral post-transplant bronchial stenosis. Endobronchial epithelial brushings from the contralateral anastomotic site without bronchial stenosis and BAL from bilateral lung transplant recipients who did not develop post-transplant bronchial stenosis were used as controls. Total RNA was isolated from the endobronchial brushings and real-time polymerase chain reaction reactions were performed. Electrochemiluminescence biomarker assay was used to measure 10 cytokines from the BAL.

Results:
Out of 60 bilateral lung transplant recipients, 9 were found to have developed bronchial stenosis with 17 samples adequate for analysis. We observed a 1.56 to 70.8 mean-fold increase in human resistin gene expression in the anastomotic bronchial stenosis epithelial cells compared with nonstenotic airways. Furthermore, IL-1β (21.76±10.96 pg/mL; control 0.86±0.44 pg/mL; P<0.01) and IL-8 levels (990.56±326.60 pg/mL; control 20.33±1.17 pg/mL; P<0.01) were significantly elevated in the BAL of the lung transplant patients who developed anastomotic bronchial stenosis.

Conclusion:
Our data suggest that the development of postlung transplantation bronchial stenosis may be in part mediated through the human resistin pathway by IL-1β induced transcription factor nuclear factor-κβ activation and downstream upregulation of IL-8 in alveolar macrophages. Further study is needed in the larger patient cohorts and to determine its potential therapeutic role in the management of post-transplant bronchial stenosis.
