BACKGROUND:
The recovery of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors with long-term favorable outlook is understudied. Time to follow commands varies widely in this patient population but has important clinical implications.

OBJECTIVE:
To (1) evaluate time to follow commands in severe patients with TBI with favorable outcomes, (2) characterize their trajectory of recovery, and (3) identify predictors associated with delayed cognitive improvement.

METHODS:
Participants were recruited prospectively at a Level I trauma center through the Brain Trauma Research Center from 2003 to 2018. Inclusion criteria were age 16 to 80 years, Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤8 and motor score <6, and Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended measure ≥4 at 2 years postinjury.

RESULTS:
In 580 patients, there were 229 (39.5%) deaths and 140 (24.1%) patients had favorable outcomes at 2 years. The mean age was 33.7 ± 14.5 years, median Glasgow Coma Scale was 7 (IQR 6-7), and median Injury Severity Score was 30 (IQR 26-38). The mean time to follow commands was 12.7 ± 11.8 days. On multivariable linear regression, the presence of diffuse axonal injury (B = 9.2 days [4.8, 13.7], P < .0001) or intraventricular hemorrhage (B = 6.4 days [0.5, 12.3], P < .035) was associated with longer time before following commands and patients who developed nosocomial infections (B = 6.5 days [1.6-11.4], P < .01).

CONCLUSION:
In severe TBI survivors with favorable outcomes, time to follow commands varied widely. Most patients began to follow commands within 2 weeks. Evidence of diffuse axonal injury, intraventricular hemorrhage, and infections can delay cognitive improvement in the acute period. Patients make considerable recovery up to 2 years after their injury.
Characterization of w/o-type Microemulsions Containing l-Menthol-based Deep Eutectic Solvents for Use in Transdermal Drug Delivery
Authors: Hamada Yuma , Sakuragi Mina 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
We investigated the structural properties of microemulsions (MEs) dispersed in oil base including hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their skin permeabilities. The results showed that the addition of DESs can improve the skin penetration of monodispersed MEs by disturbing the lipid structures in the stratum corneum. Further addition of DESs caused the structural transition of MEs from a sphere to a cylinder and a bicontinuous system and decreased reduced skin penetration.

PERSONALISM AS AN APPROACH IN POLITICAL SCIENCES
Social sciences such as political sciences, psychology, and sociology formulate two types of theories: more general approaches and specific theories build within this domain. The article presents dominant approaches in psychology, sociology, and political sciences. In psychology, the approaches include psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychology. In political sciences, there are seven main approaches: behavioralism, rational choice, institutionalism, feminism, interpretative theory, Marxism, and normative theory. Every approach encompasses many specific theories regarding individual problems. The article defends the idea that we need to accept personalism as an approach in political sciences. There are many studies and theories developed in personalistic approach that legitimate this stance. Next, the article analyzes the dispute over anthropology. The last part contains implications of dignity anthropology to formulate detailed political theories.

THE NEW LEFT IN RUSSIA: BORIS KAGARLITSKY: PRACTICE AND THEORY
This article examines the essential ideas of the theory and practice of New Left politics in the work of the well-known scientist and politician Boris Kagarlitsky. Since he is actively involved in the political life of the New Russian Left, the exposition of theoretical issues is impossible without placing them in the context of the socio-political situation of contemporary Russia. The collapse of the USSR and the socialist bloc revived the ideas of the ‘free market’ and liberalism. Today the liberal capitalist system is in crisis; this does not lead to a renaissance of leftwing forces, though. The forces of the Left at the beginning of the 21st century proved to be completely incapable of offering a coherent political program. Even the obvious resistance of the Left to Neo-Liberalism and its reforms in the social sphere, medicine and education has not become a consolidating factor in the new politics. The article attempts to examine how the New Left in Russia answers the question of what it means to build a society that is qualitatively different from capitalism: what nineteenth-century ideologists called socialism.
Thromboelastographic method for early decision on anticoagulant therapy in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients
Authors: Ferdiana Komang Ayu , Ramlan Andi Ade Wijaya , Soenarto Ratna Farida , Alatas Anas 
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND Coagulopathy is a serious COVID-19 complication that requires rapid diagnosis and anticoagulation. This study aimed to determine the role of coagulation examination using thromboelastography (TEG) on the decision-making time of anticoagulant therapy in COVID-19 patients and its clinical outcomes.
METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, from October 2020 to March 2021. We consecutively recruited moderate and severe COVID-19 patients in the high and intensive care units. Turnaround time, time to anticoagulant therapy decision, and clinical outcomes (length of stay and 30-day mortality) were compared between those who had a TEG examination in addition to the standard coagulation profile examination (thrombocyte count, PT, APTT, D-dimer, and fibrinogen) and those who had only a standard coagulation profile laboratory examination.
RESULTS Among 100 moderate to severe COVID-19 patients recruited, 50 patients had a TEG examination. The turnaround time of TEG was 45 (15–102) min versus 82 (19–164) min in the standard examination (p<0.001). The time to decision was significantly faster in the TEG group than the standard group (75 [42–133] min versus 184 [92–353] min, p<0.001). The turnaround time was positively correlated with time to decision (r = 0.760, p<0.001). However, TEG did not improve clinical outcomes such as length of stay (10.5 [3–20] versus 9 [2–39] days) and 30-day mortality (66% versus 64%).
CONCLUSIONS The TEG method significantly enables quicker decision-making time for moderate to severe coagulation disorder in COVID-19 patients.
The effects of mindfulness-based interventions on symptoms of depression, anxiety, and cancer-related fatigue in oncology patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Chayadi Ellentika , Baes Naomi , Kiropoulos Litza 
Published: July 2022

Objective
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly being integrated into oncological treatment to mitigate psychological distress and promote emotional and physical well-being. This review aims to provide the most recent evaluation of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) treatments, in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and CRF in oncology populations.

Methods
A search using the following search terms was conducted: (mindful* OR mindfulness* OR mindfulness-based* OR MBI* OR MBCT OR MBSR OR MBCR) AND (Oncol* OR cancer OR neoplasm OR lymphoma OR carcinoma OR sarcoma) to obtain relevant publications from five databases: PsycINFO, PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE by EC, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global from January 2000 to February 2022. 36 independent studies (n = 1677) were evaluated for their overall effect sizes (using random-effects models), subgroup analyses, and quality appraisals. Evaluations were performed separately for non-randomized (K = 20, n = 784) and randomized controlled trials (K = 16, n = 893).

Results
The results showed that MBIs have significant medium effects in reducing symptoms of depression (Hedges’ g = 0.43), anxiety (Hedges’ g = 0.55) and CRF (Hedges’ g = 0.43), which were maintained at least three months post-intervention. MBIs were also superior in reducing symptoms of anxiety (Hedges’ g = 0.56), depression (Hedges’ g = 0.43), and CRF (Hedges’ g = 0.42) in oncology samples relative to control groups. The superiority of MBIs to control groups was also maintained at least three months post-intervention for anxiety and CRF symptoms, but not for depressive symptoms. The risk of bias of the included studies were low to moderate.

Conclusions
This review found that MBIs reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety and CRF in oncology populations.

Background: Diabetes mellitus can cause complications including liver damage, which has an impact on increasing levels of SGOT and SGPT in the blood, as well as inflamation and hepatic steatosis. Turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorizza) are known to have high levels of curcumin and xanthorizzol as an antioxidant and proven to improve liver function. Antioxidant therapy in patients with NAFLD is known to improve liver function and histopathological features. The effects of turmeric and java turmeric extract on liver function in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice are still unknown. Objective: Comparing effects of administered turmeric and java turmeric extract on liver function and histopathologic features of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice. Method: Research design Post Test Only Control Group Design are used. Male swiss mice around 25-30 gram are used. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice with a total samples (n = 20) divided into 4 groups, Control+PBS, Control+STZ, STZ+Turmeric, and STZ+Java Turmeric (an = 5). Blood glucose, weight, SGOT, SGPT levels and histopathologic features including percentage of inflamation and hepatic steatosis were examined at day 21. All the research data were analyzed using statistics program. Result: Turmeric and java turmeric extract cannot significantly reduce blood glucose level. Administration of java turmeric extract significantly reduce SGPT level against control+STZ group (84,12±17,53 vs. 36,3±27,4 u/L, p=0,018). Administration of turmeric extract significantly reduce hepatic cell inflamation against control+STZ group (30(26-68) vs. 20(15-30)%, p=0,035). Conclusion: Each turmeric and java turmeric extract can improve liver fuction and decreasing hepatic cell inflamation on streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice, but may not mediated by decreasing blood glucose level.

Zusammenfassung
Metaphern können helfen, eine Sprache für das Neue zu finden. In neutestamentlichen Texten wird die Erfahrung des Christusgläubig-Werdens häufig metaphorisch beschrieben, zum Beispiel anhand geburts- und zeugungsmetaphorischer Aussagen. Als »Wiedergeburt« ist diese Metapher zur Katachrese geworden, weist im gegenwärtigen Gebrauch aber auch Bedeutungsverschiebungen auf und stellt keine geeignete Kategorie dar, um die ursprünglich lebendige Metaphorik der neutestamentlichen Texte zu erfassen.
Classroom assessment and learning motivation: insights from secondary school EFL classrooms
Authors: Bui Hung Phu , Nguyen Thuy Thi Thu 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study compares L2 classroom assessment practices related to learning motivation in a high-performing grammar school and middle-range regular school to find the characteristics of L2 classroom assessment that promote learning motivation. First, we observed how four L2 teachers assessed eight seventh-grade classes at the two schools (four classes per school). Then, we administered questionnaires to the students in these eight classes to investigate the correlation between classroom assessment and learning motivation. Finally, we conducted semi-structured interviews with the four teachers (each teacher in charge of two classes) and 10 randomly stratified students to interpret such a relationship. Quantitative data were projected into SPSS 25 for analysis, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results showed that it was not the frequency but the characteristics of assessment that fostered learning motivation. The results suggest including assessment techniques to enhance learning motivation in Vietnamese L2 teacher education programs.
A note on efficient minimum cost adjustment sets in causal graphical models
Authors: Smucler Ezequiel , Rotnitzky Andrea 
Published: July 2022

AbstractWe study the selection of adjustment sets for estimating the interventional mean under an individualized treatment rule. We assume a non-parametric causal graphical model with, possibly, hidden variables and at least one adjustment set composed of observable variables. Moreover, we assume that observable variables have positive costs associated with them. We define the cost of an observable adjustment set as the sum of the costs of the variables that comprise it. We show that in this setting there exist adjustment sets that are minimum cost optimal, in the sense that they yield non-parametric estimators of the interventional mean with the smallest asymptotic variance among those that control for observable adjustment sets that have minimum cost. Our results are based on the construction of a special flow network associated with the original causal graph. We show that a minimum cost optimal adjustment set can be found by computing a maximum flow on the network, and then finding the set of vertices that are reachable from the source by augmenting paths. TheoptimaladjPython package implements the algorithms introduced in this article.
Analysis of interferometric configuration for optical devices
Authors: Sharma Himanshu , Kumar Arun 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
With the exponential growth in information related applications and the continuous increase in voice over IP (VoIP) applications, the carriers are expanding their networks to provide improved services to their end users. In such cases, the synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy model is not suitable. In this work, we are going to investigate the electro optic switch with the help of a VB script to simulate the device for various parameters. Further, we will then scan the central electrode voltages and take account of the overlap integral taking place at the output port with the help of waveguide mode. The best switching for switches at different voltages so as to have negligible coupling loss for different input signals is investigated. We aim to evaluate the MZI switches with the Li-Tn channel profile wave guiding structure and confirm their performance as compared to the existing MZI switches.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this work, an optical angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing enabled 400 Gbps free space optical communication (FSOC) system has been proposed using polarization division multiplexed (PDM) quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and digital signal processer (DSP) in the receiver. Different weather conditions such as clear weather, rain and fog are explored in proposed system and their deteriorating effects are observed in terms of log BER. Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beams (LG0,0, LG0,13, LG0,40, and LG0,80) are employed to realize four channel FSOC system and OAM multiplexing. Results revealed that integration of DSP in the PDM-QPSK receiver cause significant improvement in symbols placements in constellation and moreover proposed system successfully covered 3500 m, 3000 and 1200 m in FSO under clear weather, rain and fog, respectively.
The effects of wearing a mask on an exercise regimen
Authors: Gericke Ryan C. , Gupta Adarsh K. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Context
Masks have long been utilized to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and diseases in the healthcare setting. Recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mask use has been expanded to all public areas to help slow the spread of this virus. One such location where masks can be seen is gyms. While exercising, the needs of the body are altered due to the increased stress being placed upon it. Normal physiology is thus adjusted to meet these new demands and to maintain optimal functioning. Therefore, it is possible that adding a mask covering the mouth and nose while exercising could further exacerbate this physiologic alteration, causing potential concerns.

Objectives
The goal of this study is to identify the impact of mask use on normal perceived physiology (breathing, heart rate, temperature, exertion, stamina, and quality of workout) within the exercising population.

Methods
To obtain data focused on the research question, a self-reporting, online, anonymous Qualtrics survey was administered in local gyms and social media outlets. A total of 280 total participants were recruited between the ages of 18 and 65 who have ever exercised while wearing a mask. All results were analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, Mann–Whitney U tests, and Kruskal–Wallis tests. A Cronbach’s alpha was also calculated to check internal validity. The significance level utilized was p≤0.05.

Results
Completion of a Kruskal–Wallis test revealed statistical significance regarding the perception of masks in general and the participants’ rating of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p<0.001; heart rate: p<0.001; temperature: p<0.001; exertion: p<0.001; stamina: p<0.001; and quality of workout: p<0.001), the duration of time the mask was utilized during the workout, and the participants’ rating of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p=0.001; heart rate: p=0.020; temperature: p<0.001; exertion: p<0.001; stamina: p=0.001; quality of workout: p<0.001; and perception of mask: p<0.001), and the change in the number of days that the participants exercised per week during the pandemic as well as some of the participants’ ratings of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p=0.042; exertion: p=0.015; stamina: p=0.027; and quality of workout: p=0.016).

Conclusions
Any alterations to normal physiology perception while exercising with a mask appear to be psychological and adaptive in nature. Masks alone did not contribute to the perception of their physiologic changes.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Hierarchical and periodic nanostructures of dielectrics or metals are highly demanded for wide applications in optical, electrical, biological, and quantum devices. In this work, programmable plasmonic–photonic hierarchical nanostructures are fabricated using a facile and effective method with high controllability and stable reproducibility. The fabrication involves colloidal self-assembly, metal film deposition, and pulsed laser-induced dewetting in sequence for controllably pairing metal nanostructures on dielectric nanospheres in either large area or a local precision. Au nanostructures including Au nanocrown (AuNC), large Au nanosphere (AuNS), and multiple small Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been paired one-on-one on assembled SiO2 nanosphere (SiO2NS) arrays, with size and shape controlled by correlating the laser fluence and irradiation time, and the Au film thickness. The fabricated hierarchical nanostructures demonstrate synergistic effect of the photonic effects from the monolayer SiO2NS arrays and the surface plasma resonance effect from the Au nanostructures. The dewetting induced metal film reshaping has been modeled theoretically corresponding to observed experimental results. We can directly “write” the plasmonic Au nanostructures on the photonic crystal array using a focused laser beam to form encode patterns, showing angle-dependent structural colors for anti-counterfeiting information storage and display in rigid/flexible and opaque/transparent devices. It provides a promising path to actively construct on-demand pixelated plasmonic–photonic arrays for optical multiplexing technology in sensing, information encryption, and display.

Effect of gamma rays on Zn/Cu doped strontium borate glass system for dosimetric applications
Authors: Abou Hussein Eman M. , Gafar Sameh M. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Two alkali strontium borate glasses containing Cu2+ or Zn2+ ions (0.15 mol%) has been prepared by melting annealing method. Some of the glasses dosimetric measurements have been performed; they were checked by ultraviolet-visible light measurement showing the specific peaks of Cu+/Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions. Upon γ-rays, glasses are sensitive to the absorbed dose in the range 0.4–15 kGy, revealing their light absorption. A gradual decrease in optical absorbance and DC electrical conductivity was detected with progressive irradiation. While a gradual increase in optical energy bandgap (Eopt) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was observed. The presence of transition metal ion (TM) with their variable configurations helps to trap the radiolytic electrons or holes during the color center recovery rates. UV–Vis and EPR dosimetric characteristics have high color stability with excellent short and long-term stability revealing their possible use as glass dosimeters in medical sterilization and food irradiation processing.
