Authors: Tarrasch Jeffrey , England Patrick , Hurst V. Tillman , McDonald Douglas , O'Keefe Regis , Cipriano Cara 
Published: June 2022

PURPOSE: Patients with cancer are at risk for anxiety and depression; however, the patterns and predictors of symptoms in an orthopedic oncology population have not been studied. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores of all adult patients who underwent palliative surgery for metastatic cancer, resection of a sarcoma, or nononcologic total joint arthroplasty at a single institution from 2015 to 2020. Backward stepwise linear regression was used to determine risk factors for perioperative anxiety and depression. RESULTS: Postoperative anxiety and depression were more prevalent in patients with metastatic disease than localized cancer or nononcologic conditions ( P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). Worse preoperative pain and function were associated with higher preoperative anxiety (β = .321, P = .001; β = –.236, P = .012, respectively) and depression (β = .245, P = .009; β = –.279, P = .003, respectively). Worse preoperative anxiety, preoperative depression, and postoperative pain were associated with higher postoperative anxiety (β = .204, P = .012; β = .260, P = .001; β = .447, P < .001, respectively). Worse preoperative depression and postoperative pain also predicted higher postoperative depression (β = .542, P < .001; β = .325, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Anxiety and depression were most prevalent in patients with metastatic disease. Compared with total joint arthroplasty patients, patients with cancer less frequently experienced postoperative improvements in anxiety and depression. Worse preoperative pain and function were independently associated with greater preoperative anxiety and depression. Providers should maintain awareness of the relationship between mental and physical health to optimize outcomes.

Authors: Dey Veto , Francis Glen 
Published: June 2022

Globalization helps in identifying export markets, doing business beyond boundaries, developing oversea contacts, establishing presence in their markets. It also refers to the spread of job, product, technology, and service by doing cross border trades. In this Internet era the use of electronics for doing business transactions have been used globally. India has almost 700 million internet users in 2020. In this conceptual paper the researchers were trying to find out the impact of globalization on two renowned e-commerce sites with reference to India. Amazon and Alibaba were chosen for the study. Different Trade bodies’ policies studies were also analyzed to find out the ease of doing business policies. Finding of the study shows that Amazon has utilized thinking globally but acting locally strategy in Indian Markets and whereas Alibaba has used its previous model in India, now focusing on vertical e-commerce model and smaller deals as its future strategy. Finding also shows that Amazon and Alibaba have recognized the diversity of the Indian people and with a purpose has used this understanding to spread its market share. The two-e-commerce giant, their strategies and working model is used to reach the conclusion of the study.
Survey of non-spinal orthopaedic consultant surgeons at three district general hospitals regarding regional spinal services
Authors: Newman M , Ji C , Pearse R , Harvey J 
Published: June 2022

Patients with emergency spinal pathologies such as suspected cauda equina syndrome are often admitted under non-spinal orthopaedic surgeons at district general hospitals (DGHs). Emergent investigation in the form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently required prior to potential referral to the tertiary spinal centre despite many DGHs not having out-of-hours MRI provision. Anecdotally, there is considerable anxiety among non-spinal orthopaedic surgeons working in DGHs around the admission and investigation of emergency spinal pathologies under their care. We sought to survey and formalise the opinions of non-spinal on-call orthopaedic consultants at three DGHs with regard to admission, investigation, local infrastructure and regional support provided to them when emergency spinal pathologies are admitted under their care. The consultants surveyed reported being very uncomfortable managing emergency spinal cases admitted under their care. It was felt that the hospitals provided inadequate infrastructure, especially in terms of obtaining timely imaging. There is a lack of local outpatient spinal provision, a lack of consistent advice from the regional centre, and a feeling of patient, personal and organisational vulnerability with the current implementation of the regional spinal pathway. There was a high preference for a restructuring of the spinal pathway as well as a desire for on-site spinal opinions. The results of this survey demonstrate the considerable unease experienced by non-spinal trauma and orthopaedic consultants at district general hospitals with regard to the management of spinal pathology. We hypothesise that this is not limited to this region but is a sentiment echoed nationally.
Detection method and instrument of interfacial debonding inside a thermal barrier coating based on fluorescence imaging
Authors: Wang Zong , Zhang Yanheng , Guo Jinli , Zhang Shijie , Qiu Wei 
Published: June 2022

The interfacial delamination or debonding induced by local stress concentration is one of the kernel factors leading to spalling failure of thermal barrier coatings (TBC). In this work, for the rapid and accurate characterization of the interface delamination and debonding in TBC, the detection method and instrument were investigated based on fluorescence imaging. First, based on the principle of reflection-enhanced fluorescence, an experimental method was presented to detect interfacial debondings in TBC. A coaxial fluorescence-imaging instrument was established to realize the method above. In addition, an alkaline soluble method (ASM) was presented in this work to prepare prefabricated debondings with different transverse sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, which are basically consistent with the interfacial debondings in an actual TBC structure. Through a series of experiments, this paper verified that, using the proposed method and optical instrument, the resolutions to detect internal debonding are as small as 6 µm in the thickness dimension and less than 0.3 mm in the transverse dimension.
Modeling the hydrodynamic impact on the tool influence function during hemispherical subaperture optical polishing

Published: June 2022

To fabricate high-precision and accurate optics relative to the optical design surface, a high level of deterministic control of material removal (i.e., the tool influence function, TIF) during subaperture tool polishing is required. In this study, a detailed analysis of the pressure distribution, which is a key component of the TIF, has been performed using finite element analysis to couple together solid mechanics and fluid dynamics. Modeling experimental parameters of recently published work reveals that, when considering tool deformation, which in turn influences the fluid film thickness between the tool and workpiece, the effective pressure profile has a flat-top distribution. This flat-top pressure profile differs from the parabolic pressure distributions predicted by Hertzian mechanics. Moreover, the shear contribution is shown here to be a key contributor to material removal, inducing the removal at the periphery of the contact edge and even outside the generally accepted contact area. Finally, the simulated fluid velocities provide evidence of mixed-mode contact polishing, supporting recent experimental findings that also suggest that onset of hydroplaning contributions lead to material removal drop-off.
Yaws in the Philippines: A clinico-seroprevalence study of selected communities in Mindanao
Authors: Dofitas Belen Lardizabal , Kalim Sherjan P. , Toledo Camille B. , Richardus Jan Hendrik 
Published: June 2022

Background
Yaws is a chronic, highly contagious skin and bone infection affecting children living in impoverished, remote communities. It is caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue. We report the prevalence of active yaws among elementary schoolchildren based on clinical and serological criteria in selected municipalities of Southern Philippines.

Methods
From January to March 2017, exploratory cross-sectional surveys and screening of skin diseases were conducted in the Liguasan Marsh area of the provinces Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, and Cotabato. We included 9 municipalities and randomly selected one public elementary school per municipality. Members of students’ households and the communities were also examined and treated. Yaws suspects and contacts had blood tests for treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies using Dual Pathway Platform and Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) tests.

Results
A total of 2779 children and adults were screened for any skin disease: 2291 students, 393 household members, and 95 community members. Among 210 yaws suspects and contacts, 150 consented to serologic tests. The estimated prevalence of active yaws among schoolchildren screened was 1 out of 2291 (0.04%). Among 2532 children who were 14 years old and younger, 4 (0.2%) had active yaws. Eight adult household contacts and community members had latent yaws and 2 had past yaws. Five out of 9 municipalities were endemic for yaws.

Conclusions
This study confirmed that the Philippines is endemic for yaws but at a low level in the schools surveyed. This is an under-estimation due to the limited sampling. The lack of proper disease surveillance after the eradication campaign in the 1960’s has made yaws a forgotten disease and has led to its resurgence. Yaws surveillance is needed to determine the extent of yaws in the Philippines and to help develop a strategy to eradicate yaws by 2030.
The relationship between voting restrictions and COVID-19 case and mortality rates between US counties
Authors: Pabayo Roman , Grinshteyn Erin , Steele Brian , Cook Daniel M. , Muennig Peter , Liu Sze Yan 
Published: June 2022

Background
Since the 2010 election, the number of laws in the U.S. that create barriers to voting has increased dramatically. These laws may have spillover effects on population health by creating a disconnect between voter preferences and political representation, thereby limiting protective public health policies and funding. We examine whether voting restrictions are associated with county-level COVID-19 case and mortality rates.

Methods
To obtain information on restricted access to voting, we used the Cost of Voting Index (COVI), a state-level measure of barriers to voting during a U.S. election from 1996 to 2016. COVID-19 case and mortality rates were obtained from the New York Times’ GitHub database (a compilation from multiple academic sources). Multilevel modeling was used to determine whether restrictive voting laws were associated with county-level COVID-19 case and mortality rates after controlling for county-level characteristics from the County Health Rankings. We tested whether associations were heterogeneous across racial and socioeconomic groups.

Results
A significant association was observed between increasing voting restrictions and COVID-19 case (ß = 580.5, 95% CI = 3.9, 1157.2) and mortality rates (ß = 16.5, 95% CI = 0.33,32.6) when confounders were included.

Conclusions
Restrictive voting laws were associated with higher COVID-19 case and mortality rates.

Published: June 2022

Over the last few years, the concept of corporate governance in relation to Russian economic realities has been used relatively recently. The concept of corporate governance in the economic practice of Russia was synonymous with production management in 1990-2000 At the same time, "good corporate governance" is a set of activities of public companies in order to ensure high demand for their shares and debt securities from portfolio investors. Corporate governance is a means of trust development both in individual companies and in the stock market of the country as a whole, which is of great importance for long-term investment attraction. According to various global ratings of the countries (for example, to the rating of the financial conglomerate Morgan Stanley, the Russian stock market is classified as an emerging market that provides increased investment returns. The article attempts to determine the main priorities of institutional investors for corporate governance in Russia. The authors come to the conclusion that the development of the corporate governance system is one of the key factors increasing the investment attractiveness of Russian companies. Government regulators take measures to create corporate governance standards, one example of which is the recommendation to use the Corporate Governance Code approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia in 2014. In fact, the article highlights both positive and negative trends in the Russian practice of corporate governance. It provides the results of opinion polls among investors, which reveal their motivation to make investment decisions in the Russian market.
IFRS 15 application for accounting of revenue from construction contracts
Authors: Bubnovskaya Tatyana. V. , Gadzhibek Victoria. P. , Kim Tatyana. V. 
Published: June 2022

Construction, like any industry, has its own specifics, which should be taken into account when organizing the accounting work of an enterprise. In addition to material consumption, labor intensity and risks, construction is characterized by a long production cycle, which largely determines the financial and economic flows of a construction organization. It is common in the construction industry to provide a variety of services for a single customer or to related parties of a customer. A construction company, in addition to the construction services, can also be hired to provide design services, project management, consulting, supervision, engineering survey, design, installation, commissioning and other types of work. The article is devoted to the problems of IFRS 15 application for proceeds accounting under construction contracts. The article discusses the specifics of accounting organization for income and expenses in the construction industry. 5 steps of the revenue accounting model are considered, a step-by-step procedure for working with contracts to recognize revenue. The article outlines a mechanism for recognizing revenue and allocating expenses. The article notes that, despite the complexity of IFRS 15, its new application improves the accounting system for income and expenses of construction companies and solves the problem of recognizing revenue and the financial result determination in construction. Owing to the control system contained in IFRS 15, construction companies can incrementally enhance their revenue recognition accounting system and remove the customer risks related to contracts.
A Mental-Physical-Self Topology: The Answer Gleaned From Modeling the Mind-Body Problem
Authors: Morgan Christopher 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The mind-body problem is intuitively familiar, as mental and physical entities mysteriously interact. However, difficulties arise when intertwining concepts of the self with mental and physical traits. To avoid confusion, I propose instead focusing on three categories, with the mental matching the mind and physical the body with respect to raw inputs and outputs. The third category, the self, will experience and measure the others. With this new classification, we can see difficulties clearly, specifically five questions covering interaction and correlation. We break down the problem using both existing theories and a hypercube topology representing the solution. We show any satisfactory theory must explain both spatial interaction and content correlation, and that we cannot escape our topology, whatever our preferred fundamental substance and mind-body movement permutation. We conclude by looking outside the hypercube, noting how solutions such as existential monism, priority monism, and will-based cosmic-idealism avoid the dangers involved.
China’s People’s Liberation Army: Restructuring and Modernization
Authors: Tijerina Luis Lázaro , Baig Muhammad Ali 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and its various branches carry the prudent legacy of its ancient history. Since its creation in 1927, time and again, the PLA has acted as an effective arm of the vanguard party in establishing and securing the Heaven. Following the theoretical underpinnings of China’s paramount leader Mao, today the PLA is a formidable force capable of conducting operations in every domain of war. However, under President Xi Jinping, the PLA has undergone considerable restructuring and modernization. This article aims to briefly understand and analyse such structural reconfigurations and modernization plans. It uses academic, journalistic, and Sino-American official sources in exploring the PLA’s restructuring and modernization. It concludes that the PLA has undergone massive structural reconfiguration and modernization in terms of material and doctrine. It also highlights that the renewed deployments of the PLA under a renewed doctrinal awakening and a strategic thought could have a great impact on its future operations.
Hieroglyphische Hermeneutik
Authors: Morenz Ludwig D. 
Published: June 2022

Summary
Following the tradition of ancient hieroglyphic reception, the Byzantine author Ioannes Tzetzes from the 12th century AD used a list of Egyptian hieroglyphs for his commentary on the Iliad for Homer exegesis. The signs and their composition produce a special web of meaning in which relationships to the Iliad can be seen, most clearly in the hieroglyphic ARCH and the theme of the battle for Troy. At the same time, this is not a simple exegesis, but an intercultural bridging of Ancient Egypt – Hellas – Byzantium.
Klassisch-ägyptische Texte in späthieratischem Gewande
Authors: Quack Joachim Friedrich 
Published: June 2022

Summary
After a global discussion about the sense of the term ‘Égyptien de tradition’, a number of special features of classical Egyptian texts written in Late Hieratic are presented. It is demonstrated that often an orthographical innovation overlays the fundamentally unchanged grammatical structure. A special focus is put on particles, where e. g. it is demonstrated that a writing is likely to be a strange orthography for the particle . In the verb, gemination is largely abandoned, and the distinction between and is no longer fully functional.
Science Fiction as an Introduction to AI Research
Authors: Goldsmith Judy , Mattei Nicholas 
Published: June 2022

The undergraduate computer science curriculum is generally focused on skills and tools; most students are not exposed to much research in the field, and do not learn how to navigate the research literature. We describe how science fiction reviews were used as a gateway to research reviews. Students learn a little about current or recent research on a topic that stirs their imagination, and learn how to search for, read critically, and compare technical papers on a topic related their chosen science fiction book, movie, or TV show.
Possible critical region associated with late‐onset spasms in 17p13.1‐p13.2 microdeletion syndrome: a report of two new cases and review of the literature

Abstract17p13.1‐2 microdeletion syndrome is a congenital anomaly syndrome with characteristic facial features and multiple malformations. The prevalence of epilepsy with 17p13.1–2 microdeletion is low, with only one case reported for late‐onset spasms. Late‐onset spasms is one of the rare epilepsy syndromes and one of the developmental epileptic encephalopathies requiring urgent treatment. We experienced two cases of 17p13.1‐2 microdeletion syndrome, one of which presented with epileptic spasms in cluster at 18 months of age. EEG showed symmetrical hypsarrhythmia during interictal periods and a paroxysmal fast wave superimposed on widespread slow waves during seizures, leading to the diagnosis of late‐onset spasms. Another case had no epilepsy. Comparing the extent of deletion in the two cases with that of previous reports, the involvement of the USP6 gene was suspected. However, the accumulation of additional case reports is needed to confirm the genetic involvement in late‐onset spasms.
