Authors: Li Sicheng , Xu Jiangming , Liang Junrui , Ye Jun , Zhang Yang , Ma Xiaoya , Leng Jinyong , Zhou Pu 
Published: November 2022

In past decades, multi-wavelength lasers have attracted much attention due to their wide applications in many fields. In this paper, we demonstrate a multi-wavelength random fiber laser with customizable spectra enabled by an acousto–optic tunable filter. The operating wavelength range can be tuned from 1114.5 to 1132.5 nm with a maximal output power of 5.55 W, and spectral channel tuning can also be realized with a maximal number of five. The effect of gain competition and the interaction between Raman gain and insertion loss are also analyzed. Furthermore, the output spectra can be ordered by radiating appropriate radio frequency signals to the acousto–optic tunable filter. This work may provide a reference for agile shape spectrum generation and promote multi-wavelength random fiber laser practicability in sensing, telecommunications, and precise spectroscopy.
Gender, Sexuality and the Law School
Authors: Ashford Chris 
Published: November 2022

This article will focus on exploring gender and sexuality within the law school. Largely silent from Twining’s ‘grand tour’, these two areas are now key parts of the law school landscape, having become firmly established as key elements of law school discourse and legal scholarship in the years since Blackstone’s Tower was published. The Blackstone’s Tower of Twining’s imagination was, Twining suggested, ‘holding up a mirror to a familiar world’, and it was a world that made only passing reference to gender and no reference to sexuality. Feminism is mentioned twice in 244 pages, whilst queer—still emergent within legal scholarship in 1994—is not referenced at all. A once radical and vital text can perhaps appear antiquated to today’s readers. Yet, this should not be regarded as a criticism of the text but rather a reflection of how the law school and legal scholarship has transformed since 1994. Whether in the number of gender and/or sexuality and law courses that now permeate through the UK law school, or the extraordinary growth first of feminist scholarship and more recently queer scholarship, the law school has been profoundly impacted by socio-legal shifts in gender and sexuality research. This is scholarship that does not merely serve as ‘another’ theory or an addendum to jurisprudence, for these theories have offered the ability to reshape the very architecture of the law school and to re-imagine Blackstone’s Tower for what it is and what it can be. This article seeks to explore that journey and offer a glimpse of future possibilities.

Blackstone’s Tower Revisited
Authors: Collier Richard 
Published: November 2022

The years since the publication of Blackstone’s Tower have witnessed an explosion of international scholarship on university law schools and legal academics. More recently, the UK, as elsewhere, has seen the emergence of a distinct interdisciplinary body of work termed ‘critical university studies’ seeking to explore multifarious dimensions of what has been widely termed the marketization of universities and their law schools; a process well under way by the time Blackstone’s Tower first appeared but which has since gathered pace. This article will explore the nature of these changes and, more specifically, assess their impact on a subject that has itself become the focus of increasing political and policy debate across the higher education sector over the past decade; the wellbeing and mental health of those who inhabit the contemporary university.
Focusing specifically on legal academics, the subject of a growing body of recent research, the article will chart both changes and continuities that have occurred within understandings of legal academic wellbeing since Blackstone’s Tower was published; and, interweaving a discussion of the impact of the global pandemic of 2020 on wellbeing in university law schools, taking place at the time of writing, consider how Covid-19 is reshaping our understandings both of the ‘private life’ of the law school, as discussed by Fiona Cownie, and of legal academic wellbeing as a focus of socio-legal study.

The Plain Meaning Rule and Transitional Provisions in Legislation
Authors: Simamba Bilika H 
Published: November 2022

In the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, the Grand Court, purportedly applying the plain meaning rule, held that the Health Services Authority Law barred suits against government hospitals unless there was bad faith. Within about six weeks, the Government amended the provision to expressly add negligence as a ground of suit. An attempt to apply the amended legislation to the case that led to the amendment failed. This note examines whether the plain meaning rule was properly applied and the extent to which matters pending before courts and other public authorities can be affected by new legislation.

Law’s Invisible Women
Authors: Mitchell Lynsey , Weldon-Johns Michelle 
Published: November 2022

This article examines the unintended gendered consequences of lockdown on women’s rights, particularly those related to women’s work, health and wellbeing. Situating this assessment within wider feminist legal scholarship, which exposes the gendered nature of law and the tendency to legislate in a way that prioritizes a privileged male legal subject, we argue that legislation and subsequent decisions fail to centre women’s lived experiences and so deprioritize women’s needs. We ultimately argue that lessons need to be learned regarding how post-pandemic responses are implemented to mitigate the impacts on women and ensure gender is mainstreamed within the law-making process.
Keywords: women; Covid-19; flexible working; care; telemedicine; abortion; gender mainstreaming.

Deve ser acondicionado em sacos e latas de lixo, havendo horários estabelecidos para o seu recolhimento. Lixo é um conjunto heterogêneo de elementos desprezados durante um dado processo e, pela forma como é tratado, assume um caráter depreciativo, sendo associado à sujeira, repugnância, pobreza, falta de educação e outras conotações negativas.
Heinrich Klotz und die architectura – und was in 50 Jahren aus ihr wurde
Authors: Tragbar Klaus 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In 1971, Heinrich Klotz, who had returned from a stay as a visiting professor at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, founded architectura. Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Baukunst/Journal of the History of Architecture with the financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Klotz experiments with different formats of essays but retires as editor in 1976. Under subsequent editors, architectura continues to develop into the leading journal for the history of architecture, whose essays are not subject to any temporal or local limitations and reflect the entire breadth of research in the history of architecture.

Abstract
The two authors, editors of the architectura from 2003 to 2015, provide an insight into the period of their editorship, which was marked by profound changes in science policy, the working situation at universities and the modernisation of the journal‘s structures – while retaining its ›brand essence‹. The relationship with the Koldewey-Gesellschaft and the adaptation of international standards in science are also addressed.
Baugeschichte, global gedacht
Authors: Löffler Beate 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The short opinion piece understands building as a fundamental human practice and therefore equally global and local. It argues in favour of embracing the global dimension as a sensible and possibly even necessary way to develop our subject further. The paper suggests taking advantage of already existing knowledge and competence worldwide by deliberately networking beyond its own field despite extra work and conceptual quandary. It outlines some approaches and expects these to lead to the utilisation of informational resources that are often overlooked, the replacement of the last remnants of hegemonic interpretation in the 19th century, and the confident connectivity to those disciplines that share the discourse on planning, building, city, space, and architecture.
Narrating the Past in Different Contexts: C-BI Approach to the Present Perfect and Past Simple
Authors: Xu Xinhui , Zhan Hongwei 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Concept-based instruction (C-BI) has proven to be effective in improving students’ command of grammar items used out of context by offering the students revision lessons, but its effect in teaching newly-introduced grammar items in a complex context of a specific genre remains unclear. To probe C-BI’s effect on students’ use of the past simple and present perfect tenses out of context and in the context of a narrative by its description of the grammar concept in its materialization, that is, the Schemas of a Complete Orienting Basis of an Action (SCOBAs), we taught the two tenses to 40 eighth-graders in a Chinese middle school in our three-week teaching experiment. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results shows that i) in both out-of-context use and in-context use, accuracy of using the target tenses is higher after C-BI intervention; ii) by improving their conceptual knowledge through C-BI, the students are helped to pin down reference time and are hence more certain in using the target tenses. Moreover, they are encouraged to use the newly-introduced tenses in the complex context of the narrative genre; iii) both in simple contexts or complex contexts, the SCOBAs are effective in helping students navigate the learning task and determine their intended meaning by establishing temporal reference in the context.
The balanced discrete triplet Lindley model and its INAR(1) extension: properties and COVID-19 applications
Authors: Shirozhan Masoumeh , Mamode Khan Naushad A. , Kokonendji Célestin C. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a new flexible discrete triplet Lindley model that is constructed from the balanced discretization principle of the extended Lindley distribution. This model has several appealing statistical properties in terms of providing exact and closed form moment expressions and handling all forms of dispersion. Due to these, this paper explores further the usage of the discrete triplet Lindley as an innovation distribution in the simple integer-valued autoregressive process (INAR(1)). This subsequently allows for the modeling of count time series observations. In this context, a novel INAR(1) process is developed under mixed Binomial and the Pegram thinning operators. The model parameters of the INAR(1) process are estimated using the conditional maximum likelihood and Yule-Walker approaches. Some Monte Carlo simulation experiments are executed to assess the consistency of the estimators under the two estimation approaches. Interestingly, the proposed INAR(1) process is applied to analyze the COVID-19 cases and death series of different countries where it yields reliable parameter estimates and suitable forecasts via the modified Sieve bootstrap technique. On the other side, the new INAR(1) with discrete triplet Lindley innovations competes comfortably with other established INAR(1)s in the literature.
Options for correction of local immune status in patients with chronic endometritis

Published: November 2022

Chronic endometritis with impaired receptivity of uterine cavity epithelium (the “thin” endometrium) is considered the most common cause of recurrent implantation failures during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Chronic inflammation, accompanied by autoimmune mucosal reactions, may lead to a perverse immune response of lymphocytic cells with altered cascade of cytokine reactions, thus preventing efficiency of decontamination therapy, followed by potential inability to perform reproductive function in the patients. The article concerns our experience of complex preimplantation preparation of patients with recurrent implantation failures caused by chronic endometritis during a course of intrauterine administration of cavitated solution of recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2). Our aim was to assess some changes in local immune status in the patients with chronic endometritis and repeated implantation failures during complex preparation for the IVF procedure, using a cavitated solution of rIL-2.A study of the local immune changes of uterine cavity in the patients with recurrent implantation failures suffering with chronic endometritis was carried out under complex preparation for IVF with thawed embryos (n = 82). A control group included the infertile women with normal endometrial thickness (> 7 mm at M-echo), with excluded diagnosis of chronic endometritis (n = 30). Complex therapy included decontamination and contamination; hormone replacement therapy; intrauterine ultrasonic cavitation of rIL-2 solution. Dynamic assessment of the local immunity was tested in the endometrial biopsies. We performed analysis of the main subpopulations of immune lymphoid cells, morphological composition, phagocytic responses and cytokine status.he state of immunocompetent cells and cytokine profile of endometrial samples in the patients with chronic endometritis indicates a possible Th2 shift of the local immune response, with changing ratio of cytokines leading to impaired molecular, subcellular and cellular structures, which, along with fluctuating activity of other components of uterine cavity homeostasis, may determine a recurrent course of the disease with impaired endometrial morphology. Preimplantation preparation with intrauterine irrigation with a cavitated solution of rIL-2 in patients with recurrent implantation failures accomplished by chronic endometritis helps to improve the indices of local immunity, being more effective (an average of twofold), compared with the group of conventional preparation for IVF with thawed embryos. The treatment may promote the proliferative processes in epithelium of the uterine cavity thus contributing to increased potential of endometrium for implantation and occurence of clinical pregnancy.

Published: November 2022

<p class="abstract">Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity require multiple treatment approaches such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment. Glossectomy and mandibulectomy are the most common surgical treatment procedures for oral carcinoma with pre-, and post-surgical chemo-radiotherapy depending on the stage of cancer. The patients with glossectomy and mandibulectomy are at risk of developing a wide range of impairments in speech and swallowing functions due to surgical procedures and post chemo-radiation therapy (trismus and xerostomia). The present case report describes a 52-year-old male who had a history of oral squamous cell carcinoma and underwent wide excision of maxillar and mandibular regions who presented with severe speech and swallowing impairments. On examination of speech and swallowing functions, the patient exhibited oral dysphagia of moderate severity and poor speech intelligibility. The patient had undergone 50 speech and swallow therapy sessions over two months duration and post-therapy evaluation showed improvements in speech and swallowing functions. The patient had exhibited improvements in quality of life on various physical and functional domains post-rehabilitation. However, the improvements were limited due to the presence of trismus and hypernasality due to maxillar resection. This case report describes the importance of speech and swallowing rehabilitation to improve the post-surgical impairments in speech and swallowing functions and also the overall quality of life of patients with oral cancers.</p>
Automatic Zonation and Correlation of Well Logs for a Tectono-Sedimentary Interpretation in the Continental Siliciclastic Basin of Duero River (Iberian Peninsula)
Authors: Díaz-Curiel Jesús , Biosca Bárbara , Arévalo-Lomas Lucía , Miguel María J. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
A procedure to automatically correlate well logs measured in boreholes that are located in continental siliciclastic basins by using two different methods is shown. The first method is applied to the parametric layers that were determined in each borehole starting from the values of their geophysical parameters and consists of correlating, by cross-association, the columns formed by these layers. The second method consists of cross-correlating the geophysical stretches or units, which are established as sets of layers with similar characteristics that are sufficiently different from the average values in the adjacent stretches. The evaluation of the correlation results requires showing the criteria that are used for determining the parametric layers that are obtained from the well logs, the result of which is called segmentation in this study. This evaluation also requires to show the techniques that are used to determine the geophysical stretches by a process that is called stretching in this study. The reason for using different correlation methods is that cross-association of layers provides high resolution but relatively smaller spatial extent, whereas cross-correlations of geophysical stretches provide higher spatial extent but lower resolution. Thus, the cross-association results have been used both to assess the correlations in boreholes that are relatively close (distances&lt;10 km) and to support the establishment of the stretch correlation criteria. The developed methodology is applied to a set of boreholes located in the Duero Basin (Spain). From the results obtained, an evaluation of the correlations with respect to the distances between boreholes was carried out. Furthermore, it is shown that the correlations between geophysical stretches enable identifying the correspondences between these and the tectono-sedimentary sequences (activation-relaxation of a tectonic phase) that are established in the literature.
Experiments on the Rock Electricity and Application Research considering the Influence of CO2 Content: A Case Study of the Dongfang 13 Gas Field

Published: November 2022

Abstract
A large number of CO2-bearing gas layers are distributed in the deep layers in the Huangliu and Meishan formations of the Dongfang 13 gas field. The presence of CH4, CO2, and formation water in CO2-bearing gas layers complicates the change of logging response characteristics. In particular, the unclear understanding of the additional conductivity change law formed by the coupling of CO2 and formation water results in low accuracy of the water saturation results, and the aforementioned type of gas layer can easily be misidentified as the gas-water mixed layer. By conducting multiple rock electrical experiments under simulated formation temperature and pressure conditions, core flooding experiments were conducted with different contents of CO2 and CH4 mixed gas to determine the lithology coefficient b, saturation coefficient n, and cementation coefficient m of cores under different experimental conditions. Additionally, we also analyzed the relationship between the electrical parameters of rocks, CO2 content, and water saturation to reveal the influence of coupling of CO2 and formation water on the change of electrical parameters of rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions. The experimental results show that when the mixed gas with different CO2 contents is dissolved in the formation water, there is no difference between the measured lithology coefficient a and the cementation coefficient m; as the CO2 content increases, the lithology coefficient b increases, and the saturation coefficient n decreases. Based on the experimental results, we established a prediction model of the change between lithology coefficient b, saturation coefficient n, and CO2 content. This model improves the accuracy of water saturation calculations in the CO2-bearing gas layers along with that of fluid identification.

Abstract
Background
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke. This study aimed to observe whether isoflurane posttreatment enhances autophagy after focal CIRI in rats by activating the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting NLRP3 inflammation. The body releases inflammatory factors to reduce inflammation, thereby reducing neurological damage and improving cognitive and memory functions.
Methods
Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation group (Sham), model group (MCAO), isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + ISO), autophagy inhibitor Baf-A1 + isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + I + B), AMPK inhibitor Compound C + isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + I + C).
Results
Compared with the sham group, the MCAO group exhibited decreased neurobehavioral scores and cognitive memory function (P < 0.05). Compared with the MCAO group, the neurobehavioral score of rats in the M + ISO group was significantly reduced, the expression of AMPK, ULK1, Beclin1, and LC3B protein was significantly increased, and cognitive and memory function was significantly improved (P < 0.05). Compared with the M + ISO group, the neurobehavioral scores and the protein expression of NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 in the M + I + B and M + I + C groups increased significantly (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
This research indicated that isoflurane posttreatment may enhance autophagy by activating the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway and further inhibit the release of inflammatory factors from NLRP3 inflammasomes, thereby improving neurological function and cognitive impairment after focal CIRI in rats and exerting a protective effect on the brain.
