Towards an international lexicon
Authors: Mesiti Carmel , Artigue Michèle , Grau Valeska , Novotná Jarmila 
Published: March 2022

AbstractA significant distinguishing characteristic of the International Classroom Lexicon Project was the documentation of classroom pedagogical practices of mathematics teachers in the original languages of ten communities. These lexicons provide us with an opportunity to compare identified teacher practices within these communities. In this paper, we explore the challenges of conducting a cross-lexicon comparison to explore the possibility of moving towards an international lexicon by focusing on the Australian, Chilean, Czech and French lexicons. We focus on two clusters of terms, namely, those related to assessment and those related to mathematics. Inspired by theories and studies related to networking and boundary crossing, strategies were conceived and tested in order to accomplish the following objectives: to support a meticulous and comprehensive comparison of the lexical items; to classify the complexity of similarity of lexical items; and to reveal connections amongst the four lexicons in a bid towards developing an international lexicon. This analysis has the potential to contribute significantly to the study and promotion of mathematics teachers’ reflective practice and highlights the cultural underpinning of the way classroom practices are perceived.

AbstractPurpose of ReviewArtificial intelligence (AI) applications in (interventional) cardiology continue to emerge. This review summarizes the current state and future perspectives of AI for automated imaging analysis in invasive coronary angiography (ICA).Recent FindingsRecently, 12 studies on AI for automated imaging analysis In ICA have been published. In these studies, machine learning (ML) models have been developed for frame selection, segmentation, lesion assessment, and functional assessment of coronary flow. These ML models have been developed on monocenter datasets (in range 31–14,509 patients) and showed moderate to good performance. However, only three ML models were externally validated.SummaryGiven the current pace of AI developments for the analysis of ICA, less-invasive, objective, and automated diagnosis of CAD can be expected in the near future. Further research on this technology in the catheterization laboratory may assist and improve treatment allocation, risk stratification, and cath lab logistics by integrating ICA analysis with other clinical characteristics.

Abstract
This study aims to compare the concentrations of circulating levels of iron, zinc, and copper in blood samples of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients which determine the correlations with inflammation and disease activity. A total of 102 RA patients and 66 healthy controls were enrolled. Circulation of iron, zinc, and copper levels in whole blood were assessed. Hemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) levels were collected. A meta-analysis was performed to validate our findings. Single and multiple variate generalized linear regression were applied to identify the correlation between trace elements and clinical characteristics. Blood copper level was significantly higher in RA patients (P < 0.001), while iron and zinc levels were decreased (P < 0.001 and P = 0.02, respectively). Meta-analysis confirmed our findings for zinc (SMD =  − 1.17, P < 0.001) and copper (SMD = 1.24, P < 0.001). Copper level was positively correlated with DAS28-CRP (r = 0.35, P < 0.01), CRP (r = 0.45, P < 0.01) and ESR (r = 0.58, P < 0.01). Iron level was negatively correlated with DAS28-CRP (r =  − 0.37, P < 0.01), CRP (r =  − 0.46, P < 0.01) and ESR (r =  − 0.55, P < 0.01). Circulating blood copper was significantly higher and positively correlated with DAS28-CRP and inflammatory markers, while circulating blood iron was decreased and negatively correlated with DAS28-CRP and inflammatory markers in RA patients.
Synthesis of non-active electrode (TiO2/GO/Ag) for the photo-electro-Fenton oxidation of micropollutants in wastewater
Authors: Kaur P. , Park Y. , Imteaz M. A. , Sillanpaa M. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractHeterogeneous photo-electro-Fenton oxidation (hPEF) is known to be a robust technique, which can be employed for promoting organic degradation. This paper describes an environmentally friendly approach with the combination of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis in less acidic pH, aiming to achieve faster mineralization of a pharmaceutical micropollutant without adding any external oxidants. TiO2/GO/loaded Ag non-active electrodes are synthesized for the degradation of bupropion hydrochloride (antidepressant drug). The present work also seeks the parametric modeling and optimization of hPEF process parameters by using R programming. Nonlinear kinetic modeling was performed for the determination of kinetic parameters. The role of selected process parameters on the mineralization of bupropion was also explained in detail. The OH• and O2•− showed their active participation in the degradation process, while Ag and UV-C played an active role in the disinfection of treated wastewater.

Abstract
Background
Evidence surrounding vascular access options for commencing dialysis in pregnancy complicated by chronic kidney disease (CKD) is limited. Creation of new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in pregnant women is rare.

Methods
Retrospective cohort study of approaches to vascular access in pregnancy in centres in Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada (2002–2018).

Results
Twenty-three women with advanced CKD commenced dialysis in pregnancy (n = 20) or planned to commence (n = 3). Access at dialysis start was a tunnelled catheter (n = 13), temporary catheter (n = 1), AVF created pre-conception but used in pregnancy (n = 3) and AVF created during pregnancy (n = 3). No women commencing dialysis with an AVF required a catheter. No differences in perinatal outcomes were observed comparing AVFs and catheters at dialysis commencement. No AVFs were created in pregnancy in Canadian women. From Australia and the UK, 10 women had a new AVF created in pregnancy, at median gestation 14.5 weeks (IQR 12.5, 20.75). Four women still needed a catheter for dialysis initiation and 3 eventually used the new AVF. Six AVFs were successfully used in pregnancy at median gestation 24 weeks (IQR 22.5, 28.5), 2 were successfully created but not used and 2 had primary failure. No catheter-associated complications were identified except one episode of catheter-related sepsis.

Conclusions
Catheter-related complications were minimal. In selected women, with sufficient pre-planning, an AVF can be created and successfully used during pregnancy to minimise catheter use if preferred. Pre-conception counselling in advanced CKD should include discussing vascular access options reflecting local expertise and patient preferences.

ZusammenfassungRegelungen zu einem individuellen Recht auf Weiterbildung durch Bildungsfreistellung, Bildungsurlaub oder Bildungszeit existieren in 14 deutschen Bundesländern. Vorgestellt werden Ergebnisse einer qualitativen, subjektorientierten Studie zur Wirkung der Mehrfachteilnahme an Bildungsurlaub. In explorativ-narrativen Interviews wurden 27 Personen, die öfter an anerkannten Veranstaltungen der beruflichen und politischen Bildung teilnahmen, dazu befragt, welche langfristigen, (bildungs-)biographischen Wirkungen sie vor dem Hintergrund der Mehrfachteilnahme für sich der Bildungsfreistellung zuschreiben. Diskutiert wird, inwiefern sich verallgemeinerbare Erkenntnisse gewinnen lassen im Hinblick auf die Idee der „Initialzündung“ oder „Impulswirkung“ für individuelle lebensentfaltende Bildungsprozesse.
Fast statistical energy analysis modelling of periodic box-like structures
Authors: Yan Feng , Wilson Robin , Rutherford Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a fast way to create a base Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) model for periodic box-like structures, for which further refining and modification can be conducted with simplicity. A novel numbering system is introduced which enables the model builder to build, locate and change the property of each subsystem as well as to specify the connections between different subsystems in a 3D coordinate system. Two numerical SEA models are studied with the aid of the new method. It greatly decreases the time in model building and increases the simplicity of studying the acoustic attenuation by changing the properties of different subsystems. The results show that when increasing the internal loss factors (ILF) of all structural elements from 0.015 to 0.12, a 13.5 dB sound insulation improvement can be observed for the 2-room system at 1000 Hz and that for the 24-room system is 10.9 dB. This method serves as a promising way to investigate the acoustic transmission in heavily damped periodic box-like structures.

Article Highlights

A fast SEA model building method is proposed.

A 3D coordinate based numbering system is developed for subsystem location and identification.

Application of damping on structural elements results in better sound insulation.

Published: March 2022

Abstract

Objective:
Antibiotics are widely prescribed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and duration of prescription is varied. We sought to decrease unnecessary antibiotic days for the most common indications in our outborn level IV NICU by 20% within 1 year.

Design and interventions:
A retrospective chart review was completed to determine the most common indications and treatment duration for antibiotic therapy in our 39-bed level IV NICU. A multidisciplinary team was convened to develop an antibiotic stewardship quality improvement initiative with new consensus guidelines for antibiotic duration for these common indications. To optimize compliance, prospective audit was completed to ensure antibiotic stop dates were utilized and provider justification for treatment duration was documented. Multiple rounds of educational sessions were conducted with neonatology providers.

Results:
In total, 262 patients were prescribed antibiotics (139 in baseline period and 123 after the intervention). The percentage of unnecessary antibiotic days (UAD) was defined as days beyond the consensus guidelines. As a balancing measure, reinitiation of antibiotics within 2 weeks was tracked. After sequential interventions, the percentage of UAD decreased from 42% to 12%, which exceeded our goal of a 20% decrease. Compliance with antibiotic stop dates increased from 32% to 76%, and no antibiotics were reinitiated within 2 weeks.

Conclusions:
A multidisciplinary antibiotic stewardship team coupled with a consensus for antibiotic therapy duration, prescriber justification of antibiotic necessity and use of antibiotic stop dates can effectively reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure in the NICU.

AbstractObjectives:The role of neurological proteins in the development of bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) remains elusive now. The current study aims to explore the potential genetic correlations of plasma neurological proteins with BD and SCZ.Methods:By using the latest genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of BD and SCZ (including 41,917 BD cases, 11,260 SCZ cases, and 396,091 controls) derived from the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium website (PGC) and a recently released GWAS of neurological proteins (including 750 individuals), we performed a linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) analysis to detect the potential genetic correlations between the two common psychiatric disorders and each of the 92 neurological proteins. Two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was then applied to assess the bidirectional causal relationship between the neurological proteins identified by LDSC, BD and SCZ.Results:LDSC analysis identified one neurological protein, NEP, which shows suggestive genetic correlation signals for both BD (coefficient = −0.165, p value = 0.035) and SCZ (coefficient = −0.235, p value = 0.020). However, those association did not remain significant after strict Bonferroni correction. Two sample MR analysis found that there was an association between genetically predicted level of NEP protein, BD (odd ratio [OR] = 0.87, p value = 1.61 × 10−6) and SCZ (OR = 0.90, p value = 4.04 × 10−6). However, in the opposite direction, there is no genetically predicted association between BD, SCZ, and NEP protein level.Conclusion:This study provided novel clues for understanding the genetic effects of neurological proteins on BD and SCZ.
Land occupation as a form of peasant struggle in Turkey, 1965–1980
Authors: Gürel Burak , Küçük Bermal , Taş Sercan 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis article contributes to the literature on rural politics in Turkey by investigating peasants’ land occupations between 1965 and 1980. We show that agricultural modernization after 1945 created the structural conditions for land conflicts by enabling the reaching of the frontier of cultivable land and facilitating landlords’ displacement of tenants. The 1961 Constitution’s promise of land reform and the rise of the center-left and socialist politics helped peasants press for land reform by combining direct action and legalistic discourse. Moreover, the vastness of state-owned land and the incompleteness of cadastral records allowed peasants to challenge landlords’ ownership claims. During land occupations, villagers often claimed that contested areas were public property illegally encroached upon by landlords, and that the state was constitutionally obliged to distribute it to peasants. Although successive right-wing governments decreed these actions to be intolerable violations of property rights, their practical approach was more flexible and conciliatory. Although nationwide land reform was never realized, land occupations extracted considerable concessions via the distribution of public land and inexpensive land sold by landlords.
A Social Policy Case for a Four-Day Week
Authors: CHUNG HEEJUNG 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThere has been an explosion of interest in the “four-day-week” movement across the globe, especially due to its potential in addressing many of the societal challenges left by the COVID-19 pandemic. Four-day-week is a movement set to shorten the working hours of full-time workers without a reduction in pay. I aim to set out the case for a national move towards a four-day-week explaining why social policy scholars should lead the debate. First, I provide evidence of the societal costs that the current long-hours work culture has on workers’ and their family’s well-being and welfare, social inequality, and social cohesion. Shorter working can help tackle these issues by giving workers right to time, shifting the balance between work and non-work activities in our lives and valuing them both. Social policy scholars need to lead this debate owing to our existing knowledge and expertise in dealing with these social issues and state-level interventions. In addition, without pressing for fundamental changes in our labour market, we cannot adequately address some of the key challenges we face as a society. The paper ends with key research questions social policy scholars should address as a part of this move.
Parallel Logic Programming: A Sequel

Published: March 2022

AbstractMulti-core and highly connected architectures have become ubiquitous, and this has brought renewed interest in language-based approaches to the exploitation of parallelism. Since its inception, logic programming has been recognized as a programming paradigm with great potential for automated exploitation of parallelism. The comprehensive survey of the first twenty years of research in parallel logic programming, published in 2001, has served since as a fundamental reference to researchers and developers. The contents are quite valid today, but at the same time the field has continued evolving at a fast pace in the years that have followed. Many of these achievements and ongoing research have been driven by the rapid pace of technological innovation, that has led to advances such as very large clusters, the wide diffusion of multi-core processors, the game-changing role of general-purpose graphic processing units, and the ubiquitous adoption of cloud computing. This has been paralleled by significant advances within logic programming, such as tabling, more powerful static analysis and verification, the rapid growth of Answer Set Programming, and in general, more mature implementations and systems. This survey provides a review of the research in parallel logic programming covering the period since 2001, thus providing a natural continuation of the previous survey. In order to keep the survey self-contained, it restricts its attention to parallelization of the major logic programming languages (Prolog, Datalog, Answer Set Programming) and with an emphasis on automated parallelization and preservation of the sequential observable semantics of such languages. The goal of the survey is to serve not only as a reference for researchers and developers of logic programming systems but also as engaging reading for anyone interested in logic and as a useful source for researchers in parallel systems outside logic programming.
The obligation to exercise “leniency” in penal and disciplinary measures against prisoners of war in light of the ICRC updated Commentary on the Third Geneva Convention
Authors: Hosseinnejad Katayoun , Askary Pouria 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper explores how the general obligation of the Detaining Power to exercise the greatest leniency towards prisoners of war may be used in interpreting the provisions of the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 (GC III) related to the sanction regime to fulfil the obligation of humane treatment and to preserve the persons and honour of prisoners of war. The International Committee of the Red Cross updated Commentary on GC III is placed at the core of the arguments of this research.
East–West Reverse Coupling Between Spring Soil Moisture and Summer Precipitation and Its Possible Responsibility for Wet Bias in GCMs Over Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Yang Kai , Wang Chenghai 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe impact of soil moisture (SM) and precipitation coupling (SM‐P‐C) on the subsequent climate at daily to seasonal scales over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a critical issue. In this study, the spring SM and summer precipitation coupling (SSM‐SP‐C) were investigated using multi‐reanalysis and validated with 13 global climate models (GCMs) in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5, and its relationship with the wet bias in GCMs was explored. The results reveal that SSM‐SP‐C shows an east–west reversal, with positive coupling in eastern and central TP and negative coupling in the western TP. The spring surface sensible heat has significantly negative effects on the strength of SSM‐SP‐C in eastern and central TP, while significantly positive effects in western TP; whereas, the SM shows the reverse effects in eastern and western TP. The concurrent SM‐P‐C over TP shows a positive trend from spring to summer, but coupling strength has significant spatial differences. The 13 GCMs ensemble mean underestimates the positive SSM‐SP‐C in eastern TP and can't reproduce the negative SSM‐SP‐C in western TP. The wet bias of summer precipitation is significantly associated with the model's failure in capturing SSM‐SP‐C. This study highlights the impacts of SM‐P‐C on subsequent climate in the alpine cold region and provides a potential way for reducing precipitation biases by improving SM‐P‐C parameterizations in GCMs.
Gender disparities in pediatric research: a descriptive bibliometric study on scientific authorships
Authors: Böhme Katja , Klingelhöfer Doris , Groneberg David A. , Bendels Michael H. K. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Background
The proportion of women in medicine, especially in pediatrics, is noticeably increasing. Yet, leadership positions are predominantly occupied by men.

Methods
Academic authorships of 156,642 pediatric original research articles were analyzed with regard to gender disparities. The evaluation included the proportion of female authorships (FAP), distributions over first-, co- and last-authorships, gender-related citation rates, a productivity analysis and investigations on journals, countries and pediatric sub-disciplines.

Results
In all, 46.6% of all authorships in pediatric research were held by female authors. Women held relatively more first-authorships (FAP = 52%) and had higher odds for first- (OR = 1.3) and co- (OR = 1.11) authorships, compared to men. The Prestige Index of −0.13 indicated an underrepresentation of female authors at prestigious first- and last-authorships. Citation rates were not affected by the gender of the key authors. At the country-level pronounced gender-related differences were detected. The time trend showed increasing female prospects forecasting a female-dominated Prestige Index of 0.05 in 2023.

Conclusion
The integration of women in pediatric research has advanced. Opportunities for female authors differ at the country-level, but overall women are lacking in leadership positions. Improving career opportunities for women in pediatric research can be expected in the coming years.

Impact

There is a measurable progress in the integration of female scientists.

Gender-neutrality is partially achieved in pediatric research with yet a female underrepresentation in leading positions.

Our descriptive study presents gender-related dynamics in pediatric research that forecast improving career opportunities for female scientists.
