Environmental footprints are indicators that can be used to estimate the impacts of diet on the environment. Since contemporary dietary practices are related to negative environmental impacts, this paper aims to describe a systematic review protocol to investigate the environmental footprints of food consumption by adults and elderly individuals worldwide. This protocol was developed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Search strategies and records of evidence searched in previously defined electronic databases will be defined. Original, population-based articles investigating the environmental footprints of food consumption by adults and the elderly will be included. Two independent reviewers will conduct the study selection and data extraction steps. Critical appraisal of the included studies will be based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. For data synthesis, a narrative synthesis and, if possible, also a meta-analysis will be performed. The systematic review produced from this protocol will provide evidence for data synthesis of the environmental impact through environmental footprints of food consumption of the adult and elderly population from different territories and the footprint assessment tools used around the world. Therefore, it is a gap that needs to be filled because knowing these impacts will be important to inform the development of public policies that encourage healthy and sustainable food in the face of climate and epidemiological changes.

Determinants of natural adult sleep: An umbrella review
Authors: Philippens Nicole , Janssen Ester , Kremers Stef , Crutzen Rik 
Published: November 2022

Background
Sleep has a major impact on health, which makes it a relevant topic for research and health practitioners. Research on sleep determinants, i.e. factors that positively or negatively influence sleep, is fragmented.

Objective
The purpose of this umbrella review is to provide an overview of the current evidence on determinants of natural adult sleep.

Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed on determinants of sleep. Reviews and meta-analyses on natural adult sleep were included. Six electronic databases (PubMed, WoS, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo and Cochrane) were used for the search, last accessed September 2021. The quality of the selected articles was assessed using the AMSTAR2 tool. Results were categorized in four main categories: biological, behavioral, environmental and personal/socio-economical determinants.

Results
In total 93 reviews and meta-analyses resulted in a total of 30 identified determinants. The impact of each determinant differs per individual and per situation. Each determinant was found to affect different sleep parameters and the relationship with sleep is influenced by both generic and specific moderators.

Discussion
A comprehensive overview on relevant sleep determinants provides a practical and scientifically based starting point to identify relevant intervention approaches to secure or improve individual sleep quality. The difference in aggregation level of the determinants and in measurement methods are the major limitations of this umbrella review. Extending existing generic sleep hygiene rules with an overview of all types of potential determinants will enhance the awareness of the complexity and can be used to improve the effect of sleep interventions in health promotion.

Trial registration
The umbrella review was registered with PROSPERO (registration ID CRD42020149648) https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=CRD42020149648.

Authors: Benina A. R. , Melikyan M. A. 
Published: November 2022

Kabuki syndrome is a rare hereditary disease characterized by distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, mental retardation, developmental delay, and anomalies in multiple organ systems development.Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare manifestation of his Kabuki syndrome. However, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent neurological complications of hypoglycemia.There are 2 types of Kabuki Syndrome depending on severity of symptoms. Kabuki syndrome Type 1 is associated with heterozygous mutations in gene KMT2D. Kabuki syndrome Type 2 is inherited in an X-linked manner. It’s associated with heterozygous mutations in gene KDM6A and characterized by more severe course of the disease.This paper presents 2 cases of children with congenital hyperinsulinism as the feature of Kabuki syndrome Type 1 and Type 2.

Authors: Singh Harvinderjit , Kaur Baljinder 
Published: November 2022

This study is focused to assess the awareness and use of web-based resources among the social sciences faculty and researchers of select three universities from Panjab and Chandigarh namely Punjabi University, Patiala, Panjab University, Chandigarh and Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. A survey method was used to collect the primary data from the sample of 532 respondents including faculty and researchers from the total population of 1061 including 08 departments of Social Sciences in three universities. The proportionate random sampling method was used to select the sample. The data were collected through structured questionnaire and further analysed using SPSS. Chi-square test and mean based ranking was used to analyse the data. The study reveals that most of the social sciences faculty and researchers were aware and use web resources to some extent but, significant difference was found between them. The study concludes that the majority of the social sciences faculty and researchers are satisfied with web resources for their academic and research work.
Self-Realization and Disappointment in the ‘Society of Singularities’
Authors: Harrington Austin 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This contribution focuses on Andreas Reckwitz’s considerations on phenomena of ‘exhausted self-realization’ and ‘disappointment’ in The Society of Singularities, as well as in his follow-up volume, The End of Illusions. Under discussion is the range of analytical distinctions that tend to come into play in this area between what one might call a generally primordial concept of self-realization and more derivative articulations of the concept that exhibit various aspects of instrumentalization—variously termed ‘self-maximization’ or ‘self-optimization’. The paper argues that while Reckwitz’s work offers great resources for an understanding of how and why ‘self-realization’ so frequently appears to take on an instrumentalizing character in late-modern social behaviour, the extent to which his work attributes this tendency to a wholly immanent cultural-cognitive logic of lifestyle singularization is open to criticism. The reasons must also be sought from within the more directly economic contexts of diminished material security and solidarity typical of contemporary societies shaped by neoliberal economic governance orders at the level of policy.
Lessons from integrated seasonal forecast-crop modelling in Africa: A systematic review
Authors: Mkuhlani Siyabusa , Zinyengere Nkulumo , Kumi Naomi , Crespo Olivier 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Seasonal forecasts coupled with crop models can potentially enhance decision-making in smallholder farming in Africa. The study sought to inform future research through identifying and critiquing crop and climate models, and techniques for integrating seasonal forecast information and crop models. Peer-reviewed articles related to crop modelling and seasonal forecasting were sourced from Google Scholar, Web of Science, AGRIS, and JSTOR. Nineteen articles were selected from a search outcome of 530. About 74% of the studies used mechanistic models, which are favored for climate risk management research as they account for crop management practices. European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Hamburg, are the predominant global climate models (GCMs) used across Africa. A range of approaches have been assessed to improve the effectiveness of the connection between seasonal forecast information and mechanistic crop models, which include GCMs, analogue, stochastic disaggregation, and statistical prediction through converting seasonal weather summaries into the daily weather. GCM outputs are produced in a format compatible with mechanistic crop models. Such outputs are critical for researchers to have information on the merits and demerits of tools and approaches on integrating seasonal forecast and crop models. There is however need to widen such research to other regions in Africa, crop, farming systems, and policy.
Association of circulating free and total oxysterols in breast cancer patients

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Oxysterols, a family of oxidized cholesterol derivates, are of increasing interest due to their role in cancer development and progression. Some oxysterols are estrogen receptor modulators and thus of particular interest in breast cancer research. In human studies, two forms of circulating oxysterols are commonly evaluated: “free” (unesterified) and “total” (esterified and unesterified). However, associations between free and total oxysterols are not well established. We addressed this knowledge gap in a pilot study by evaluating correlations between the free and the total form of each of the circulating oxysterols (free vs. total), and pairwise associations within the panel of total oxysterols (total vs. total) and the panel of free oxysterols (free vs. free).

Methods
Concentrations of oxysterols and other non-cholesterol sterols were quantified in blood samples of 27 breast cancer patients from the MARIE breast cancer patient cohort using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. We used Spearman rank correlations to assess associations. Overall, 12 oxysterols (including 27-hydroxycholesterol (HC), 25-HC, 24S-HC, 7a-HC, 5a6a-epoxycholesterol) and five sterols (including lanosterol and desmosterol) were analyzed.

Results
Strong correlations (r≥0.82) were observed for seven circulating free and total oxysterols/sterols. The free and total form of 27-HC (r=0.63), 25-HC (r=0.54), and two more oxysterols were weaker correlated. Correlation patterns in the panel of total oxysterols/sterols and the panel of free oxysterols/sterols were similar.

Conclusions
These findings demonstrate that concentrations of most free and total oxysterols/sterols are strongly correlated. We provide further insight into the interrelationships between oxysterols in breast cancer patients.
Imperative: reducing the environmental impact of clinical laboratories
Authors: Gammie Alistair J. , Lopez Joseph B. , Scott Sheri 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Clinical laboratories are significant contributors to the environmental burden of the planet. They have been slow to address the issues with a few exceptions, but it is highly encouraging to see the current impetus and ambition in this direction. This paper describes some of these initiatives and provides the rationale as to why clinical laboratories should become sustainable. It also describes the economic and intangible benefits that labs will accrue in achieving sustainability.
‘We don’t speak the same language:’ language choice and identity on a Tunisian internet forum
Authors: McNeil Karen 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The linguistic situation in the Arab world is in an important state of transition, with the “spoken” vernaculars increasingly functioning as written languages as well. While this fact is widely acknowledged and the subject of a growing body of qualitative literature, there is little quantitative research detailing the process in action. The current project examines this development as it is occurring in Tunisia: I present the findings from a corpus study comparing the frequency of Tunisian Arabic–Standard Arabic equivalent pairs in online forum posts from 2010 with those from 2021. The findings show that the proportion of Tunisian lexical items, compared to their Standard Arabic equivalents, increased from a minority (19.7%) to a majority (69.9%) over this period. At the same time, metalinguistic comments on the forum reveal that, although its status is still contentious, Tunisian has become unmarked as a written language. These changes can be attributed to major developments in Tunisian society over the period of study – including internet access and the 2011 revolution. These findings suggest destabilization of the diglossic language situation in Tunisia and a privileging of national identity vis-à-vis the rest of the Arab world.
Equilibrium points, linear stability, and bifurcation analysis on the dynamics of a quantum dot light emitting diode system
Authors: Al Attabi Tareq A. , Al Husseini Hussein B. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this paper a quantum dot light emitting diode (QDLED) system is modeled as a three dimensionless differential system. We identified three vital parameters Γ the rate of the output coupling rate of photons in the optical mode to the nonradiative decay rate of the number of carriers in the wetting layer (WL), Γ
1 the rate of the Einstein coefficient to the nonradiative decay rate of the number of carriers in the WL and δ

o
such that I/We is the divide the injection current on Einstein coefficient multiplying elementary charge. Using these parameters a novel way to stability of the dynamics based on the number of interior equilibrium solutions admitted by the system has been obtained. We investigate the considered model is reach in dynamics and identified various bifurcations that are experienced by the considered system from the parameter space. These are saddle-node bifurcation, trans-critical bifurcation, and pitchfork bifurcation. In this study we offer mathematical proof for the incidence of these bifurcations that take place in the considered dynamical system as the parameters move between the regions presented in the parameter space and accordingly, this method was enhanced with numerical results.
Situational diversity and linguistic complexity
Authors: Grieve Jack 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this paper, I introduce a situational approach to the study of linguistic complexity. As opposed to most research on linguistic complexity, which has focused on the grammatical complexity of languages, I consider this topic from a situational perspective. I make two proposals. First, I claim that languages can vary in their situational diversity. Languages that have been adapted for a wider range of communicative contexts are more situationally complex than languages that have been adapted for a narrower range of communicative contexts. To support this claim, I consider examples of situational diversity from across a range of different languages and varieties of languages, drawing on empirical research from linguistics and anthropology. Second, I claim that situational diversity can help explain variation in grammatical complexity. I propose that increasing situational diversity in a language over time should lead to decreasing grammatical complexity. Furthermore, I argue that this trade-off between situational and grammatical complexity could explain how overall linguistic complexity could be maintained across languages and over time.
Digitale Kompetenzen in Deutschland
Authors: Bachmann Ronald , Hertweck Friederike , Kamb Rebecca , Lehner Judith , Niederstadt Malte 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Based on the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), the study provides an overview of the distribution of digital literacy in Germany up to the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Already in childhood and adolescence, there are systematic differences in digital literacy depending on socio-economic background. Children with a migration background and those with unemployed parents show particularly low digital literacy. Gender-specific differences in digital literacy are small in childhood and adolescence, but clearly pronounced among adults. In addition, people with little formal education and people with a migration background have systematically lower digital competences in adulthood. The education sector should therefore promote the digital competences of children and young people at an early stage in order to compensate for the apparently low level of competence development outside the formal education sector. Educational opportunities for digitally less competent adults should also be strengthened to enable older generations to continue to participate in the changing spheres of life, education, and work.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is the major issue of 21st century. The toxic industrial effluents are crucially damaging aquatic environment, in the form of heavy metals, dyes and acids. The heavy metals are toxic, carcinogenic, non-degradable and therefore must be removed to save natural environment and human health. Batch sorption efficiency of Momordica Charantia L. stem and root (MCS and MCR) was studied for Cr(VI) metal ions removal under controlled adsorption parameters. The adsorbed and residual concentration of Cr(VI) was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The adsorbent surface morphology was determined by FTIR, BET, SEM and elemental analysis by EDX. The Freundlich and Langmuir equilibrium isotherm and pseudo 1st and 2nd order kinetic models were studied to understand bio-sorption mechanism. The Freundlich isotherm and pseudo 2nd order kinetic was best fitted model for MCS and MCR bio-sorption process. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity (q
max) was 312.50 and 400 (mg/g) for MCS and MCR respectively. The trend of removal efficiency (%) and metal uptake (q
e) was in order as MCS > MCR. All data was statistically analyzed using mean values ± standard deviation (SD). In conclusion, MCS and MCR are suggested as excellent sorbents for the elimination of numerous contaminants from the wastewater.
A magyar szegénygondozástól a produktív szociálpolitikáig 1920–1943 között
Authors: Molnár Margit 
Published: November 2022

A szegénygondozás lényege (Egri Norma, Pécsi Norma, Magyar norma elnevezéssel) hogy szervezettséget vitt a segélyek összegyűjtésébe, majd szétosztásába, és megszüntette a koldulást. A gondozást egyházi rend által végezték, s ezek a szegénygondozó testvérek a helyszínen keresték fel a szegényeket, környezettanulmányt végeztek, és mindenkinek azt adták, amire szüksége volt (pl. napi ebéd családoknál, napi/havi élelmiszer-adag, ruhanemű, tüzelő, készpénz-segély). Ezen túlmenően részt vettek a betegek, öregek gondozásában is.
Az 1930-as években terjedt el a szociális állam eszméje. Ez Magyarországon egy különleges nemzeti utat takart, az állam szervei útján az egész életre kiterjedően segítette az egyént, családot (anya- csecsemő- gyermekvédelem, zöld keresztes egészségvédelem, szegénygondozás a Magyar Norma szerint).
A produktív szociálpolitika lényege a fokozatosság elve: „ott ahol az elesettség a legnagyobb, nem lehet a juttatásoknak a legnagyobb fokával kezdeni az elesettségből való kiemelést, mert ha az elesett nem rendelkezik a szükséges erkölcsi és ismeretbeli kellékekkel, a segítésnek az ismeretek nyújtásával és helyes gazdálkodásra való tanítással paralel kell haladni. Sok éves tapasztalat igazolja, hogy az elesettségből csak fokozatosan lehet az egyéneket a jobb gazdasági körülmények közé helyezni.” (Esztergár, 1939)
A lakosság illegális szerhasználattal kapcsolatos ismereteinek és a kábítószer probléma kezelési lehetőségeinek vizsgálata egy hátrányos helyzetű térségben

A Nemzeti Drogellenes Stratégia 2013-2020 szerint „…a kábítószer-jelenség szorosan összefügg más kémiai és viselkedési függőségi problémákkal, elsősorban pedig a nemzet általános lelki egészségi állapotával, különös tekintettel az értékszemlélet, a kapcsolati kultúra, a problémamegoldó készség személyes és közösségi jellemzőire..” (p. 7). A különböző társadalmi rétegek esetében sajátos módon jelennek meg a szerhasználattal kapcsolatos problémák és az azokhoz kötődő prevenciós vagy éppen korrekciós eszközök. A hátrányos helyzetű, leszakadó térségek közösségei az állandó egzisztenciális bizonytalanság, a szolgáltatásokhoz való hozzáférés egyenlőtlenségei és a beszűkülő kapcsolati hálók miatt magasabb kockázattal bírnak a lelki egészség romlásával, a függőségek és a deviáns viselkedések kialakulásával kapcsolatban.
A tanulmányban bemutatott terepkutatás, a Nemzeti Drogellenes Stratégia kapcsolati-közösségi fókuszához igazodva, a dél-dunántúli régió gazdaságilag és társadalmilag egyik legelmaradottabb térségének két települését vizsgálta az új pszichoaktív szerhasználattal való fertőzöttséggel, a lakosság kábítószer problémával, az illegális szerhasználattal kapcsolatos ismereteivel, a problémakezelés tekintetében jelenlévő, elérhető intézményekkel, szervezetekkel, problémakezelési megoldásokkal és lehetőségekkel összefüggésben.
