Published: May 2022

Abstract
After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, it increases the risk of inducing an earthquake. We use the GRACE Gravity Field Model to analyze the relationship between the operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir and the change of gravity field in western Sichuan. The research results indicate that the reservoir water level and the western Sichuan gravitational field are positively correlated. In the early stage of rising water level, the change of gravity field is not apparent, and the change of gravity field gradually increases with time. Therefore, the change of reservoir water level affects the gravity field in western Sichuan. The dynamic changes of the gravity field can reflect the Earth’s material change and deformation process and are closely related to earthquakes. Consequently, the Three Gorges Dam will indirectly affect the seismicity in western Sichuan by affecting the gravity field. The research provides valuable information for studying regional reservoir earthquake disasters and supports related policy decisions.

How Does a “Green” Good Affect Environmental Quality and Social Welfare?
Authors: Brumme Anja 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In this paper an impure public good model is applied to analyze the effects of introducing a green good, i.e. a consumption good that contributes to preservation of environmental quality. I distinguish three types of consumers: “grays”, who consume the green good and a private good; “greens”, who consume the green good and make additional donations to environmental organizations; and “edge” consumers, who consume only the green good. With respect to environmental quality I find that the gap between voluntary provision and optimal provision is unaffected by the introduction of the green good, no matter if consumers are gray or green. However, in the case of gray agents environmental quality is improved in absolute terms after the green good has been launched whereas it remains at the same level as before if consumers are green. The effect of the green good on the social welfare gap is more likely to be beneficial if agents are gray. The gaps with respect to environmental quality and social welfare are both closed if the agents are edge consumers.

Abstract
The Coalition for Physician Accountability’s Undergraduate Medical Education-Graduate Medical Education (UME-GME) Review Committee (UGRC): Recommendations for Comprehensive Improvement of the UME-GME Transition final report includes a total of 34 recommendations and outlines opportunities to transform the current processes of learner transition from a US-based MD- or DO-granting medical school or international medical education pathway into residency training in the United States. This review provides a reflection on the recommendations from the authors, all members of the UGRC, describing the pros and cons and the opportunities and limitations, in the hopes that they might inspire readers to dig deeper into the report and contribute to meaningful improvements to the current transition. The UGRC Recommendations highlight the many opportunities for improvement in the UME-to-GME transition. They are built on the connection to the system of education and formation of physicians to a more just healthcare system, with attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion to improve health disparities and to the quality of care that patients receive. However, there are justifiable concerns about changes that are not fully understood or that could potentially lead to unintentional consequences. This analysis, reached through author consensus, considers the pros and cons in the potential application of the UGRC Recommendations to improve the UME-to-GME transition. Further debate and discussion are warranted, without undue delay, all with the intention to continue to improve the education of tomorrow’s physicians and the care for the patients who we have the privilege to serve.

Abstract
Optical metamaterials give birth to the control and regulation of light. However, because of strong energy dissipation and fabrication difficulty in meta-atoms, low-loss isotropic three dimensional negative index metamaterials (NIMs) in the visible spectrum has long been regarded as an extremely challenging. Here, we report an ultralow loss isotropic metamaterials for visible light and its inverse Doppler effect. The ball-thorn-shaped metaclusters with symmetrical structure consisting of the dielectric and its surface dispersed super-thin silver layer was proposed, the surface plasma resonance is formed by discrete silver layer with a thickness of two or three atomic layers. We invented a unique technique for preparing ultralow loss isotropic clusters and three-dimensional large block samples. The negative refractive index and the inverse Doppler effect of green and red light is measured by the prism method for the first time. The discrete super-thin silver layer produced by the photoreduction method greatly reduces the generation of loss and break through noble metal high energy losses of traditional optical frequency metamaterial, the metaclusters unfold bottleneck of the nano-assemble visible light metamaterials, opening a door for disorder assembling ultralow loss isotropic three-dimensional large block NIMs devices of arbitrary shape.
Remember Death: An Examination of Death, Mourning, and Death Anxiety Within Islam
Authors: Davoudi Nilou 
Published: May 2022

AbstractScholarship and research in the field of thanatology require creative responses to address contemporary concerns regarding how people – individually and collectively – make sense of events and experiences associated with death and dying. This present study focuses on the broader Islamic traditions of the experience of death and the afterlife and provides a conceptual overview of the practices of mourning and memoria. This overview offers an exploration of considerations for the well-being of the deceased, interactions between the living and the dead, as well as how dreams act as conduits between the seen and unseen worlds. Additionally, this study draws from the narratives contained within the fortieth and final book of the eleventh-century Persian Muslim philosopher and jurist, Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī’s epic, titledThe Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife, to address and juxtaposition Muslim conceptions pertaining to death and the afterlife with death anxiety research not currently articulated within the wider Islamic scholarship. Through the exploration of Islamic traditions and the contribution of al-Ghazālī’s citations withinThe Remembrance, this work will demonstrate how broader reflections on recognising the inevitability of death and the importance of relinquishing earthly attachments posit a creative response to contemporary death anxiety research. Bearing in mind the commonly studied tenets within the wider corpus of al-Ghazālī’s impressive epic,The Revival of the Religious Sciences, it is the literature presented here which warrants full consideration for creative responses to the discussion on death that may consequently be of pastoral significance and provide techniques for lessening death anxiety.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Luminescent quantum dots (QDs) represent a new form of carbon nanomaterials which have gained widespread attention in recent years, especially in the area of chemical sensing, bioimaging, nanomedicine, solar cells, light-emitting diode (LED), and electrocatalysis. Their extremely small size renders some unusual properties such as quantum confinement effects, good surface binding properties, high surface‐to‐volume ratios, broad and intense absorption spectra in the visible region, optical and electronic properties different from those of bulk materials. Apart from, during the past few years, QDs offer new and versatile ways to serve as photocatalysts in organic synthesis. Quantum dots (QD) have band gaps that could be nicely controlled by a number of factors in a complicated way, mentioned in the article. Processing, structure, properties and applications are also reviewed for semiconducting quantum dots. Overall, this review aims to summarize the recent innovative applications of QD or its modified nanohybrid as efficient, robust, photoassisted redox catalysts in C–C and C-heteroatom bond forming reactions. The recent structural modifications of QD or its core structure in the development of new synthetic methodologies are also highlighted. Following a primer on the structure, properties, and bio-functionalization of QDs, herein selected examples of QD as a recoverable sustainable nanocatalyst in various green media are embodied for future reference.

Chemistry of the elements at the end of the actinide series using their low-energy ion-beams
Authors: Sato Tetsuya K. , Nagame Yuichiro 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Studies of the chemical properties of the elements at the uppermost end of the Periodic Table are extremely challenging both experimentally and theoretically. One of the most important and interesting subjects is to clarify the basic chemical properties of these elements as well as to elucidate the influence of relativistic effects on their electronic configuration. Isotopes of these elements produced at accelerators, however, are short-lived, and the number of produced atoms is so small; any chemistry to be performed must be done on an atom-at-a-time basis that imposes stringent limits on experimental procedures. Here we describe our recent achievements in the effective production of low-energy ion-beams of the elements at the end of the actinide series, fermium (Fm, atomic number Z = 100), mendelevium (Md, Z = 101), nobelium (No, Z = 102), and lawrencium (Lr, Z = 103), using a surface ionization ion-source installed in the ISOL (Isotope Separator On-Line) at the Tandem accelerator facility of JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency). Then the successful measurements of the first ionization potentials (IP1) of these elements with the ISOL setup are reviewed. The measured IP1 values increased up to No via Fm and Md, while that of Lr was the lowest among the actinides. Based on the variation of the IP1 values of the heavy actinides with the atomic number in comparison with those of the heavy lanthanides, the results clearly demonstrated that the 5f orbitals are fully filled at No, and the actinide series ends with Lr. Furthermore, the IP1 value of Lr provoked controversy over its position in the Periodic Table, so a short introduction to this issue is presented. The feasibility of the extension of chemical studies to still heavier elements with their ion-beams generated by ISOL is briefly discussed.
Der neue (Kalte?) Krieg. Das russische Ultimatum vom Dezember 2021 und die Folgen für die westliche Allianz
Authors: Adomeit Hannes , Krause Joachim 
Published: May 2022

Zusammenfassung
Mit der Veröffentlichung zweier Ultimaten an die USA und die NATO will Russland eine grundlegende Veränderung der sicherheitspolitischen Ordnung erzwingen und ist – wie der Überfall auf die Ukraine gezeigt hat – fest entschlossen, seine Vorstellungen auch mit militärischer Gewalt durchzusetzen. Dieser bewaffnete Konflikt hat nicht nur eine spezifisch russisch-ukrainische Dimension: Er markiert den Beginn des zweiten Kalten Kriegs in Europa, und es ist nicht sicher, ob er dieses Mal „kalt“ bleiben wird. Die russische Führungsclique hat sich in ein Bild der Rolle Russlands in Europa hineingesteigert, das zwar aus der Zeit gefallen scheint, angesichts der russischen Militärpotenziale aber die westliche Staatengemeinschaft zwingt, sich mit der russischen Herausforderung auseinanderzusetzen. Noch sind die Konturen des kommenden Kalten Kriegs nicht klar erkennbar, doch es lassen sich bereits Faktoren und Dynamiken identifizieren, die ihn strukturieren werden.
Deutschlands Russlandproblem
Authors: Lough John 
Published: May 2022

Kurzfassung
Deutschland verfügt über eine Vielzahl von Wissen und Erfahrungen über Russland und den Umgang mit Russland. Dennoch haben sich die politischen Entscheidungsträger in Deutschland über viele Jahre schwer damit getan, zu begreifen, dass Moskaus Versuche, die Mächtebalance in Europa neu zu strukturieren, einen frontalen Angriff auf Deutschlands Interessen darstellen, die auf Integration in die EU und NATO basieren. Für Deutsche sind Konflikte mit Russland etwas zutiefst Unbehagliches; allein der Gedanke weckt Emotionen, die klares Denken und konsistentes Handeln behindern. Dieser Artikel beleuchtet die Herausforderung, die diese Einstellungsmuster für Deutschland bei der Entwicklung politischer Strategien im Umgang mit Russland darstellt. Er analysiert, wie mehrere aufeinanderfolgende Bundesregierungen zwischen 1991 und 2014 die russischen Absichten missverstanden und unbeabsichtigt die Herausbildung eines russischen Systems gefördert haben, das deutschen Interessen gegenüber feindlich gesonnen ist.

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are two pathogens with an important power of adaptation to antibiotics thus, both pose a real public health problem. Our study investigated epidemiological characteristics, antibiotic sensitivity profile and resistance genes of imipenem resistant A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa. This was a retrospective study carried out in the bacteriology laboratory of Mohammed V military training hospital, spanning from January 2018 to April 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility was studied by Mueller Hilton agar diffusion method with OXOID® type antibiotic discs and interpreted according to the recommendations of EUCAST 2021. Carbapenemase detection was performed by CarbaNP-test®. The molecular study was performed using conventional PCR. During the study period, we collected 1,072 imipenem-resistant isolates namely, 820 A. baumannii and 252 P. aeruginosa. The molecular study showed that out of 108 A. baumannii isolates 102 carried the bla
OXA-51 and 100 isolates carried the bla
OXA-23 gene. The coexistence of bla
OXA-23 and bla
NDM genes was detected in only 4 isolates. Altogether 50% of P. aeruginosa strains carried bla
VIM-2. All investigated A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa strains were colistin susceptible in this study. Multiresistant bacterial infections are associated with longer hospitalization, higher hospital costs and higher mortality rates. Therefore, a collective action including the different actors of the healthcare system is necessary.
AUTENTIFIKASI AL-QUR’AN MELALUI KRITIK TEKS (KAJIAN ATAS THE AGELESS QUR’AN TIMELESS TEXT: A VISUAL STUDY OF SURA 17 ACROSS 14 CENTURIES AND 19 MANUSCRIPTS)
Authors: Asnawi Aqdi Rofiq , Bin Ismail Ahmad Thaqif 
Published: May 2022

Sejak lama kajian teks terus dilakukan, seolah ia tidak pernah lekang oleh waktu, terutama terhadap validitas teks Al-Qur’an. Di era permulaan Islam, para sarjana sudah menggunakan metode kritik teks dalam mengkaji manuskrip al-Qur’an, namun penerapannya sering kali menuai kritik karena berasal dari studi teks Bibel. Padahal prinsip-prinsip kritik teks ini telah dipakai oleh para sahabat Nabi meski istilah textual criticism (kritik teks) belum muncul. Artikel ini berusaha melacak sejauh mana penerapan kritik teks A’zami yang meneliti 18 manuskrip al-Qur’an tertuang dalam karyanya Ageless Qur’an timeless text: A visual study of Sura 17 across 14 centuries and 19 manuscripts. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan cara menganalisis karya A’zami tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa A’zami menerapkan beberapa prinsip kritik teks, seperti pencarian kesalahan teks, analisa perbandingan manuskrip, dan perbedaan tulisan al-Qur’an dari masa ke masa. Namun, A‘zami tidak mengajukan perbaikan teks atau menerbitkan edisi kritis al-Qur’an sebagaimana efek penerapan kritik teks pada Bibel. Keunikan kajian A’zami terletak pada visualisasi proses kritik teks. Artikel ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa penelitian mengenai manuskrip-manuskrip al-Qur’an menggunakan prinsip-prinsip kritik teks dapat membuktikan keaslian al-Qur’an.
Chronic suppurative otitis media and auditory processes in school-age children
Authors: Bociuk Wioletta 
Published: May 2022

WprowadzenieZapalenie ucha środkowego to jedna z najczęstszych chorób wieku dziecięcego. W przypadku nieprawidłowego leczenia lub nawrotowego charakteru może skutkować przewlekłym zapaleniem ucha środkowego (CSOM). Do dziś trwa dyskusja, czy zapalenie ucha środkowego ma wpływ na nabywanie kompetencji językowych i funkcje słuchowe. Wyniki badań na zwierzętach pozwalają sądzić, że deprywacja słuchowa w trakcie kilku specyficznych etapów rozwojowych może powodować zmiany w układzie nerwowym.Materiał i metodyOparto się na części wyników badań, pochodzących z badań przesiewowych prowadzonych w latach 2019–2021 wśród uczniów klas I oraz II szkół podstawowych województwa lubelskiego. Przed wykonaniem u dziecka badań audiologicznych rodzic/ opiekun prawny wypełniał ankietę dotyczącą problemów ze słuchem i funkcji słuchowych. Przeanalizowano wyniki przesiewowego badania audiometrii tonalnej oraz testów funkcji słuchowych: DDT oraz FPT. Zastosowaną metodą badawczą była metoda eksperymentu ex-post-facto, polegająca na badaniu określonego, zaszłego zdarzenia społecznego, którego uwarunkowania i rozwój analizuje się retrospektywnie.WynikiW badaniach zapalenie ucha środkowego występowało u 29% populacji. U dzieci z tej grupy częściej występowały trudności charakterystyczne dla zaburzeń przetwarzania słuchowego (APD).Wnioski1. Długotrwałe problemy z zapaleniami uszu u dzieci nie wpływają w znaczącym stopniu na recepcję dźwięku. 2. U dzieci, które chorowały na zapalenia uszu, występuje bardzo duży problem w zakresie wyższych funkcji słuchowych. 3. Występowanie przewlekłego zapalenia ucha środkowego u dzieci nie wpływa na wyniki testów wyższych funkcji słuchowych. 4. W trakcie diagnostyki wyższych funkcji słuchowych należy stosować, oprócz testów behawioralnych, również inne testy (np. badania obiektywne drogi słuchowej) w celu potwierdzenia diagnozy. 5. Warto wprowadzić przesiewowe badania audiologiczne u dzieci, szczególnie w wieku przedszkolnym oraz z grup ryzyka, w celu wczesnego wykrywania CSOM, leczenia, wczesnej interwencji zaburzeń przetwarzania słuchowego.

Humanitarian actions, peacekeeping operations and other new forms of employment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation require the mandatory participation of the forces and means of the medical service.
AIM: to study the basics of the use of medical assistance groups in humanitarian operations outside the Russian Federation.
RESULTS: As a result of the study, scientifically grounded developments are presented on the preparation and use of medical aid groups for medical support of humanitarian operations, by the forces of non-staff formations of medical organizations of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the zone of natural disasters and catastrophes, which are essential for determining the basis of training in the use of medical aid groups during humanitarian operations.
The concept of organizing emergency medical care is based on a two-stage system of medical and evacuation measures: the provision of medical care in the lesion focus and the subsequent immediate evacuation of victims to the nearest medical organizations of a stationary type.
To solve problems in the course of humanitarian operations, the Disaster Medicine Service of the Russian Ministry of Defense is represented at all levels by detachments and special groups (at the federal level; at the regional and territorial levels (at the level of the district, the branch of the Armed Forces, the fleet); at the local level (at the garrison level).
The main formation of the Disaster Medicine Service of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which ensures the provision of qualified and specialized medical care in emergencies, is, of course, a special purpose medical unit.
CONCLUSION: the most acceptable way to provide timely specialized medical care is the fastest sparing evacuation of victims to specialized medical organizations deployed outside the zone of natural disasters and catastrophes (1 figure, 1 table, bibliography: 7 refs).
