Gender-related issues in a Taiwanese university medical science laboratory setting: a qualitative analysis
Authors: Tseng Chun-Yi , Chang Shu-Ching 
Published: June 2023

IntroductionThis paper provides a glimpse into gender issues in a university-based medical science laboratory setting in northern Taiwan. In this study, gender issues with respect to perceptions regarding gender, the degree of gender neutrality in the work environment, and the influence of gender on researchers’ academic careers were analyzed.MethodsFrom July to August 2021, semistructured interviews to understand the perspectives of five faculty members at Chang Gung University School of Medicine regarding gender issues were conducted. The data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Subsequently, coding was performed using ATLAS.ti Web (Version 4.0.10).Results and discussionIt was found that gender is not perceived to correlate with performance in the medical sciences. Although the medical science laboratories in the study institution are mostly gender-neutral, instances of discrimination might have been concealed elsewhere because of underreporting. Nevertheless, medical science research culture in Chang Gung University appears to promote respect and equality owing to increased general awareness regarding such issues as well as robust policies that protect women’s rights and promote gender equality. Marriage, motherhood, and family obligations remain key challenges to the academic career of female scientists in the institution. To achieve more equitable representation of male and female scientists as well as to prevent female scientists from leaving medical science laboratories in Taiwan, institutional and national policies that provide tailored support for female scientists intending to start families must continue to be implemented.
Is patients’ rurality associated with in-hospital sepsis death in US hospitals?
Authors: Chang Jongwha , Medina Mar , Kim Sun Jung 
Published: June 2023

BackgroundThe focus of this study was to explore the association of patients’ rurality and other patient and hospital-related factors with in-hospital sepsis mortality to identify possible health disparities across United States hospitals.MethodsThe National Inpatient Sample was used to identify nationwide sepsis patients (n = 1,977,537, weighted n = 9,887,682) from 2016 to 2019. We used multivariate survey logistic regression models to identify predictors for how patients’ rurality is associated with in-hospital death.FindingsDuring the study periods, in-hospital death rates among sepsis inpatients continuously decreased (11.3% in 2016 to 9.9% in 2019) for all rurality levels. Rao-Schott Chi-Square tests demonstrated that certain patient and hospital factors had varied in-hospital death rates. Multivariate survey logistic regressions suggested that rural areas, minorities, females, older adults, low-income, and uninsured patients have higher odds of in-hospital mortality. Further, specific census divisions like New England, Middle Atlantic, and East North Central had greater in-hospital sepsis death odds.ConclusionRurality was associated with increased in-hospital sepsis death across multiple patient populations and locations. Further, rurality in New England, Middle Atlantic, and East North Central locations is exceptionally high odds. In addition, minority races in rural areas also have an increased odds of in-hospital death. Therefore, rural healthcare requires a more significant influx of resources and should also include assessing patient-related factors.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global mental health crisis, especially for those individuals who are vulnerable to stress and anxiety due to pre-existing mental health problems. This study aimed to understand the emotional impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on children who were born very preterm (VPT, &lt;32 weeks' gestation), as they are vulnerable to mental health difficulties and are at increased risk of developing psychiatric problems during childhood compared to their full-term-born counterparts.MethodsThe parents of 32 VPT children (mean age = 8.7) and 29 term-born controls (mean age = 8.8), who had previously taken part in a study of brain development and psychopathology following VPT birth, completed an online modified version of the Coronavirus Health and Impact Survey (CRISIS). The emotional impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the child and the parent, measured by the CRISIS, was studied in relation to pre-existing mental health, assessed with the parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), evaluated before the CRISIS completion (mean time gap 15 months). Linear regression model comparisons were conducted to study the effects of COVID-19-related stressors on children's and parents' behavior, relationships and mental health.ResultsThere were no significant group differences in pre-existing SDQ internalizing/externalizing symptoms, child's emotions or parent's emotions during the COVID-19 lockdown. However, higher pre-existing internalizing symptoms in VPT children were associated with greater lockdown-related emotional problems and worries (simple slope = 1.95, p &lt; 0.001), whereas this was not observed in term-born children.ConclusionOur results suggest that VPT children with pre-existing internalizing problems may be more vulnerable to the negative impact of certain societal and familial stressors, such as social restrictions during the national COVID-19 lockdown periods. Further rigorous studies are therefore needed to assess the severity of increased risks for this particularly vulnerable group in the context of potentially stressful life changes and adjustments.

Patients undergoing kidney transplantation have a poor response to vaccination and a higher risk of disease progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The effectiveness of vaccine doses and antibody titer tests against the mutant variant in these patients remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a single medical center according to vaccine doses and immune responses before the outbreak. Among 622 kidney transplant patients, there were 77 patients without vaccination, 26 with one dose, 74 with two doses, 357 with three, and 88 with four doses. The vaccination status and infection rate proportion were similar to the general population. Patients undergoing more than three vaccinations had a lower risk of infection (odds ratio = 0.6527, 95% CI = 0.4324–0.9937) and hospitalization (odds ratio = 0.3161, 95% CI = 0.1311–0.7464). Antibody and cellular responses were measured in 181 patients after vaccination. Anti-spike protein antibody titer of more than 1,689.3 BAU/mL is protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection (odds ratio = 0.4136, 95% CI = 0.1800–0.9043). A cellular response by interferon-γ release assay was not correlated with the disease (odds ratio = 1.001, 95% CI = 0.9995–1.002). In conclusion, despite mutant strain, more than three doses of the first-generation vaccine and high antibody titers provided better protection against the omicron variant for a kidney transplant recipient.

Published: June 2023

The multiple anion superlattice Bi4O4SeCl2 has been reported to exhibit extremely low thermal conductivity along the stacking c-axis, making it a promising material for thermoelectric applications. In this study, we investigate the thermoelectric properties of Bi4O4SeX2 (X = Cl, Br) polycrystalline ceramics with different electron concentrations by adjusting the stoichiometry. Despite optimizing the electric transport, the thermal conductivity remained ultra-low and approached the Ioffe–Regel limit at high temperatures. Notably, our findings demonstrate that non-stoichiometric tuning is a promising approach for enhancing the thermoelectric performance of Bi4O4SeX2 by refining its electric transport, resulting in a figure of merit of up to 0.16 at 770 K.
Evolución del Euskara
Authors: De Yrizar Pedro 
Published: June 2023

En este artículo se trata de poner de relieve que la lengua vasca, que en una época primitiva era en gran parte prefijante, ha ido, con el transcurso del tiempo, evolucionando hacia formas sufijantes por la acción del vascohablante, que es, con toda probabilidad desde hace siglos, decididamente sufijador, al perder para él significado el prefijo anteriormente existente.
Se estudia el proceso en tres campos: el artículo, los demostrativos y el verbo. Para elaborar esta hipótesis, se ha tenido en cuenta la opinión de Schuchardt sobre los prefijos e-, i-, con valor de artículo en los sustantivos
Toponimia en lengua vasca de Marauri (Condado de Treviño)
Authors: Uribarrena Pedro , González de Viñaspre Roberto 
Published: June 2023

En este estudio se analiza la toponimia vasca de Marauri, una de las cuarenta y nueve localidades que componen el enclave de Treviño. Con este fin, se han utilizado fuentes documentales inéditas casi en su totalidad que abarcan desde los siglos XVII al XX; a caballo, por tanto, de la pérdida del euskera como lengua hablada en la zona, hecho acontecido a lo largo de la segunda mitad del XVIII. Fruto de esta labor es la catalogación y análisis lingüístico de ciento dieciséis topónimos de carácter vasco. Los topónimos de formación castellana –menores en número cuanto más antigua es la documentación– también han sido catalogados por los autores, pero quedan al margen del presente estudio, por limitaciones de espacio.
Se concluye que Marauri ha sido una localidad históricamente vascófona y, al igual que la mayor parte de Álava, de habla occidental, es decir, próxima a las variantes dialectales de Bizkaia y Aramaio.

Представлены результаты производственных испытаний проточных электролизеров, работающих в режиме прямого электролиза природной поверхностной воды. В процессе электролиза из хлоридов, содержащихся в исходной воде, синтезируется гипохлорит натрия, которым обеззараживается очищаемая вода. Электролизеры входят в состав станции водоподготовки. Блочно-модульная станция водоподготовки «Криница-45» производительностью 45 м3/сут эксплуатируется с 2020 г. Проточные электролизеры используются для обеззараживания сырой воды (первичное обеззараживание) и питьевой воды (вторичное обеззараживание) прямым электролизом, работают с реверсом тока в автоматическом режиме. Оксидное покрытие электродов – ОИРТА (оксидно-иридиево-рутениево-титановый анод) с добавлением тантала. В ходе исследований определены технологические параметры работы электролизеров. Плотность тока изменяли от 25 до 75 А/м2, определяли концентрацию активного хлора, фиксировали изменение напряжения на клеммах электролизера. Измерения проводили каждые две недели в течение последних трех лет. Оптимальной с точки зрения эффективности является плотность тока 40–50 А/м2, при которой достигается выход хлора по току 10–12% и концентрация активного хлора 2–2,8 мг/дм3. Применение реверсирования тока (время переполюсовки +1 час и –1 час) позволило эксплуатировать проточный электролизер на природной воде с общей жесткостью около 9–11 мг-экв/дм3 без использования соляной кислоты для периодической промывки электродов.
The results of production tests of flow-through electrolyzers operating in the mode of direct electrolysis of natural surface water are presented. In the process of electrolysis, sodium hypochlorite for disinfecting water is synthesized from the chlorides present in the source water. Electrolyzers are a part of the water treatment plant. Krinitsa-45 block-modular water treatment plant with a capacity of 45 m3/day has been in operation since 2020. Flow-through electrolyzers are used for the disinfection of raw water (primary disinfection) and drinking water (secondary disinfection) by direct electrolysis; they operate with current reversal in automatic mode. The oxide coating of the electrodes is OIRTA (oxide-iridium-ruthenium-titanium anode) with the addition of tantalum. In the course of studies, the process parameters of the operation of the electrolyzers were determined. The current density was changed from 25 to 75 A/m2, the concentration of active chlorine was determined, and the change in the voltage on the electrolyzer terminals was recorded. The measurements were taken every fortnight during past three years. Current density 40–50 A/m2 was considered as optimal in terms of efficiency since it provided for 10–12% current efficiency by chlorine and 2–2.8 mg/dm3 active chlorine concentration. Using current reversal (polarity reversal time +1 hour and –1 hour) provided for operating a flow-through electrolyzer with natural water with a total hardness of about 9–11 meq/dm3 eliminating the use of hydrochloric acid for regular washing of the electrodes.
Characteristics of ultrafast response induced by impulsive interference of excitons in a GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well on a slightly strained buffer layer
Authors: Kojima Osamu , Tamachii Ikuo , Kita Takashi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Ultrafast responses caused by ultrashort pulse excitation can be applied to ultrafast optical switches with high-speed information processing. In this paper, via the impulsive interference of excitons, we achieve an ultrafast optical response suited for ultrafast switches in all-optical networks. Due to the simultaneous excitation of two exciton states in the multiple quantum well on a strained buffer layer without the occurrence of adverse effects like stacking faults, impulsive interference is induced. The small compressive strain from the buffer layer modifies the orientation of the excitons inside the quantum well, and causes the ultrafast response.

Vaname (L. vannamei ) shrimp cultivation is currently experiencing problems, one of which is disease caused by Vibrio bacteria, especially V. parahaemolyticus. This type of vibrio is the cause of white feces disease and AHPND in shrimp. Disease control due to Vibrio can be done by utilizing plants that have active compounds as natural antibacterials that are environmentally friendly. Mangrove plants have several active compounds that have great potential as antibacterial. This study aimed to examine some parts of the mangrove plant R. apiculata in inhibiting the activity of V. parahaemolyticus. Three parts of the mangrove plant, namely: roots, stems, and leaves were extracted using methanol. The three extracts were tested for their antibacterial activity against V. parahaemolyticus by several tests such as phytochemical, sensitivity, zone of inhibition, best dose, and toxicity tests. The test results showed that R. apiculata mangrove stem extract had the greatest ability to inhibit V. parahaemolyticus with an effectiveness value of 15.85% with the best dose of 200 mg/L. Toxicity testing using vaname shrimp larvae extract showed that mangrove stems were non-toxic with an LC50 value of 2,155.5 mg/L.Keywords: White feces disease, AHPND, active compounds, extracts, antibacterials
