Background
The latest guidance on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) recommends exercise therapy. Tai Chi, an exercise method in traditional Chinese medicine, is reportedly helpful for CFS. However, the mechanism remains unclear. The present longitudinal study aimed to detect the influence of Tai Chi on functional brain connectivity in CFS.

Methods
The study recruited 20 CFS patients and 20 healthy controls to receive eight sessions of Tai Chi exercise over a period of one month. Before the Tai Chi exercise, an abnormal functional brain connectivity for recognizing CFS was generated by a linear support vector model. The prediction ability of the structure was validated with a random forest classification under a permutation test. Then, the functional connections (FCs) of the structure were analyzed in the large-scale brain network after Tai Chi exercise while taking the changes in the Fatigue Scale-14, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) as clinical effectiveness evaluation. The registration number is ChiCTR2000032577 in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.

Results
1) The score of the Fatigue Scale-14 decreased significantly in the CFS patients, and the scores of the PSQI and SF-36 changed significantly both in CFS patients and healthy controls. 2) Sixty FCs were considered significant to discriminate CFS (P = 0.000, best accuracy 90%), with 80.5% ± 9% average accuracy. 3) The FCs that were majorly related to the left frontoparietal network (FPN) and default mode network (DMN) significantly increased (P = 0.0032 and P = 0.001) in CFS patients after Tai Chi exercise. 4) The change of FCs in the left FPN and DMN were positively correlated (r = 0.40, P = 0.012).

Conclusion
These results demonstrated that the 60 FCs we found using machine learning could be neural biomarkers to discriminate between CFS patients and healthy controls. Tai Chi exercise may improve CFS patients’ fatigue syndrome, sleep quality, and body health statement by strengthening the functional connectivity of the left FPN and DMN under these FCs. The findings promote our understanding of Tai Chi exercise’s value in treating CFS.

ObjectiveWe assessed the critical role of Housing First (HF) programs and frontline workers in responding to challenges faced during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with nine HF frontline workers from three HF programs between May 2020 and July 2020, in Toronto, Canada. Information was collected on challenges and adjustments needed to provide services to HF clients (people experiencing homelessness and mental disorders). We applied the Analytical Framework method and thematic analysis to our data.ResultsInability to provide in-person support and socializing activities, barriers to appropriate mental health assessments, and limited virtual communication due to clients’ lack of access to digital devices were among the most salient challenges that HF frontline workers reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing virtual support services, provision of urgent in-office or in-field support, distributing food aid, connecting clients with online healthcare services, increasing harm reduction education and referral, and meeting urgent housing needs were some of the strategies implemented by HF frontline workers to support the complex needs of their clients during the pandemic. HF frontline workers experienced workload burden, job insecurity and mental health problems (e.g. distress, worry, anxiety) as a consequence of their services during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.ConclusionDespite the several work-, programming- and structural-related challenges experienced by HF frontline workers when responding to the needs of their clients during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, they played a critical role in meeting the communication, food, housing and health needs of their clients during the pandemic, even when it negatively affected their well-being. A more coordinated, integrated, innovative, sustainable, effective and well-funded support response is required to meet the intersecting and complex social, housing, health and financial needs of underserved and socio-economically excluded groups during and beyond health emergencies.

Published: December 2022

Objective
Inter-day reliability of sweat measurements, including the absorbent patch and modified iodine-paper techniques, at rest and exercise were evaluated. We further evaluated the effect of iodine paper size and the method of establishing sweat gland activation (sweat gland counting or surface area covered) on reliability. Furthermore, the relationships between all measurement techniques and metabolic heat production [Ḣprod] and evaporative requirement for heat balance [Ėreq] were determined.

Method
Twelve participants were assessed for whole-body sweat loss (WBSL), local sweat rate (LSR; absorbent patch) and sweat gland activation (SGA; iodine-paper) during rest and sub-maximal cycling at ~200, ~250 and ~300 W/m2 Ḣprod in the heat. Variations in iodine paper (1 x 1 cm-9 x 9 cm) were used to quantify SGA by counting sweat glands or surface area covered. The ‘optimal’ area of SGA was also determined based on the highest density of recruited glands.

Results
All measures of the sweating response were positively related with Ḣprod and Ėreq (r = 0.53–0.84), with the 9 x 9 cm and 6 x 6 cm iodine paper sizes being the strongest (r = 0.66–0.84) for SGA. Superior inter-day reliability was found for all measures during exercise (CV% = 6–33.2) compared to rest (CV% = 33.5–77.9). The iodine-paper technique was most reliable at 9 x 9 cm (CV% = 15.9) or when the 1 x 1 cm (CV% = 17.6) and 3 x 3 cm (CV% = 15.5) optimal SGA was determined, particularly when measuring the sweat gland number.

Significance
WBSL, LSR and SGA measurement techniques are sufficiently reliable to detect changes in thermal sweating typically reported. We recommend 9 x 9 cm paper sizes or 1 x 1 cm-3 x 3 cm optimal areas, using either gland counting or surface area to determine SGA.

La comunicación digital de las instituciones de educación superior ha adquirido una gran trascendencia en el diseño de las políticas universitarias, aumentando los canales digitales donde las instituciones tienen presencia. Este estudio analiza la comunicación digital de universidades hispanohablantes a través de la aplicación de mensajería Telegram, para identificar las características de los canales más activos.Para ello se han localizado y analizado las cuentas oficiales de las universidades más activas de Ecuador, Colombia, Perú, Chile y España, de las que se seleccionaron 15 canales oficiales. De forma complementaria, se realizaron encuestas abiertas a los responsables de tres universidades españolas destacadas en el uso de Telegram. A través de una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa aplicada a categorías extraídas de los canales de Telegram, se han observado los formatos, objetivos y tema de los mensajes, así como el uso de emojis, etiquetas y enlaces. Como conclusiones, destacan el uso unidireccional del canal como herramienta de comunicación; el uso preferente de la imagen como formato de apoyo al texto; y la identificación de tres tipologías de canales, según el objetivo de cada universidad. Mientras en los países latinoamericanos el uso de Telegram en universidades como canal de comunicación es minoritario, en España su uso está más extendido, aunque con comunidades incipientes.

Rapid economic growth, especially in some developed and developing countries, has exacerbated the collapse of the environment. At this point, buying green products daily is considered an effective way to solve some of the excessive environmental problems. This study aims to investigate how the consumer's environmental protection purchase behavior affects corporate green marketing policies.
To achieve this goal, current researchers have used qualitative textual analysis and collected data, including the current literature. As we focused on maximal validation, databases were mainly used to collect information from peer-reviewed sources. The result indicates that price sensitivity plays a detrimental role, especially in the correlation between green use objectives and environmental concerns. Also, the results reveal that environmental concern plays a fractional role, especially in environmental liability based on the intent of green use.
The results of this study will be essential, especially how collaboration managers can establish their green marketing strategy with the aim of limiting price sensitivity, especially among customers. Finally, this study concludes that corporates must focus on diverting consumer attention to the price of green products. This can be done by highlighting some unique green products' qualities including environment-friendly, organic and low carbon productivity.
A power-hardware-in-the-loop testbed for intelligent operation and control of low-inertia power systems

Published: December 2022

AbstractLow-inertia power systems, i.e., power-electronics-dominated power systems, possess significantly different dynamics to conventional power systems, both on a component and a system-wide level. A direct implication of these substantial changes is that a pure simulation-based assessment of novel control and operational schemes for such systems is insufficient. Instead, flexible and easily reconfigurable experimental testing facilities are required. A prominent concept to enable such capabilities is power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHiL) testing. We present a PHiL testbed facility (230/400 VAC, 750 VDC, 100 kW) specifically designed for experimentally testing and validating control and operational schemes for low-inertia power systems. The main features of the testbed are its flexibility to rapidly implement and test advanced control algorithms, ranging from low-level controls of individual components to distributed and system-wide controls, its ability to be configured with different network topologies, and the efficient emulation of commonly observed parameter uncertainties as well as disturbances. The detailed description of the PHiL testbed is complemented by a performance demonstration via a case study.

Influence of inflammatory processes on thalamocortical activity
Authors: Rychlik Nicole , Hundehege Petra , Budde Thomas 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
It is known that the thalamus plays an important role in pathological brain conditions involved in demyelinating, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Beside immune cells and cytokines, ion channels were found to be key players in neuroinflammation. MS is a prototypical example of an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that is classified as a channelopathy where abnormal ion channel function leads to symptoms and clinical signs. Here we review the influence of the cytokine-ion channel interaction in the thalamocortical system in demyelination and inflammation.
Semantic transparency and Oneida morphological parts of speech
Authors: Koenig Jean-Pierre , Michelson Karin 
Published: December 2022

AbstractNorth American languages have figured prominently in discussions about parts of speech. This paper examines more closely the evidence for morphological parts of speech in one Northern Iroquoian language, Oneida, and asks what semantic properties underlie its parts of speech. We make two claims. First, inflected parts of speech in Oneida are semantically transparent in that a part of speech can be determined solely on the basis of well-established semantic distinctions. Oneida parts of speech are, in this respect, canonical, in Canonical Typology’s sense. Second, Oneida morphological parts of speech are organized along two orthogonal dimensions, an ontological dimension, i.e., the sort of entity that members of the category describe, and a semantic type dimension, i.e., the kind of semantic relation conveyed by members of the category. We show that Oneida inflection is sometimes sensitive to distinctions along the ontological semantic dimension, sometimes to distinctions along the semantic type dimension, and sometimes a single inflectional process is sensitive to distinctions along both dimensions at the same time. We then show that our bi-dimensional semantic classification of stems accounts for the mixed properties of kinship terms, i.e., which “noun”-like and which “verb”-like properties they have.

Este análisis de caso es un estudio sobre las competencias digitales en el currículo de formación de periodistas, modelo planteado a partir del cruce de la propuesta de Ferrés y Piscitelli sobre las dimensiones de la Competencia Mediática y las DigComp desarrolladas por la Comisión Europea. El objeto de estudio es la Licenciatura en Comunicación Social de la Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas del Salvador programa de formación con tradición en estudios en periodismo, en el que se realiza un ajuste curricular en el año 2019 con miras a una doble presencialidad, la cual se convierte en tendencia por el contexto de pandemia. Como método de investigación, se utilizó el análisis de contenido de las dimensiones de las competencias digitales en su plan de estudios. Los resultados muestran que no hay una profundización en el concepto de competencia, siendo equivalente a destreza y no existe descripción de lo que se entiende como imagen y competencia digital, limitados a espacios donde generar en los estudiantes elementos de valoración y critica al uso de las cuartas pantallas, no se encontraron temáticas que aborden contendidos sobre derechos de autor, inteligencia colectiva y, en especial, seguridad en la Red como formas de protección de la identidad y la información personal en la web y redes sociales, abusos y/o dependencias creadas por la tecnología y los cuidados personales sobre el abuso de las tecnologías.

Published: December 2022

A concept can be treated in two different ways: as a linguistic-cognitive phenomenon and a cultural one. The components of the conceptual system are perceived as individual signals created while reflecting information about this world. The purpose of the paper is to compare, analyse and classify the linguistic structure of the concept of "pandemic" in the modern English language. The concept of “pandemic” is socially important as a key element included in the linguistic picture of the world of almost every language nowadays. The concept of pandemic comprises various nominative units: different grammatical forms of the word “pandemic”, phrases with the word “pandemic”, synonyms to the word “pandemic”, pandemic-related words. The research methodology consists of selection of cognitive classification features and further ranking their brightness by the frequency principle. The concept of pandemic was analysed according to the combination of the following linguistic methods: acquisition, computer analysis, quantitative method, induction and deduction. The first stage of the research included grammatical analysis of the empirical material. In the second stage of the research neologisms (new words), new meanings of the existing words and new collocations were found. The research has proved the recent changes in the structure and perception of the concept of "pandemic" in the contemporary English language. The vocabulary of the English language has been, on the one hand, enriched while, on the other hand, has narrowed the meanings of some particular words. Further research is prospective as the concept of the pandemic still tends to be enriched.
Monitoring of the safety of plant-based feed by the content of ecotoxicants
Authors: Kalyuzhnaya Tamara V. , Orlova Diana A. 
Published: December 2022

Currently, the issues of the safety of plant-based feed in terms of the content of ecotoxicants remain relevant and are directly related to the intensification of the agro-industrial complex and ensuring the food security of the country. Thus, when assessing the possibility of using plant feeds, great importance is paid to monitoring the content of such ecotoxicants as toxic elements, pesticides, pyrene-free, radionuclides and others.
The accumulation of ecotoxicants on the territory of agricultural lands determines the need for regular monitoring of their content, and in polluted territories - the use of a system of agrotechnical and agrochemical measures for their detoxification. The main danger of ecotoxicants lies in their entry into the human body and animals through food, including plant origin, and accumulative capacity. In this regard, issues related to the study of the content of ecotoxicants in feed and plants of agricultural lands, assessment of the degree of pollution of agroecosystems have significance and relevance.
Eradication of Borrelia Burgdoferi in vitro using Chlorine Dioxide: A Novel Approach
Authors: Georgiou George 
Published: December 2022

Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is the most prevalent tick-borne illness in the world today and has grown into a major public health problem during the last decade, irrelevant to decades of efforts from various health professionals. The conventional treatment for Lyme disease is the use of a variety of antibiotics, but relapse often occurs when antibiotics are discontinued. There are several reasons why this relapse may occur, given that B. burgdorferi is a pleomorphic microorganism that can convert from vegetative spirochetes to a variety of different round bodies and biofilm colonies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel approaches that can eliminate all these different morphologies. This has challenged many health practitioners around the world, not to mention the suffering of many afflicted people. In this study, Chlorine dioxide (CD) at different concentrations was tested for its effectiveness in vitro against B. burgdorferi using combined fluorescent and darkfield microscopy with Live-or-Dye staining methods. Our experiments demonstrated that it is possible to completely eradicate all forms of B. burgdorferi at specific concentrations of Chlorine dioxide. Our extensive research has shown that Chlorine dioxide can be used for the eradication of B. burgdorferi morphologies. At certain concentrations of chlorine dioxide above 2 ppm the Borrelia morphologies appear to be eradicated as there is no motility of either spirochetes or round bodies, only biofilms visible. However, incubating again for another 7 days resulted in the Borrelia being motile again as they come out of the biofilms. We, therefore, decided to conduct each experiment with what we termed the Regrowth Kill Test (RKT) by incubating the initial sample with the CD in an incubator at 37 degrees centigrade in the Campypack for 7-days. It appeared that the biofilms that are quickly formed as soon as the CD is added in the initial experiment, broke up and released small spirochetes and round bodies of different morphologies. After numerous RKT experiments, it was determined that the concentration that resulted in a near complete disinfection of the spirochetes as well as round bodies was 30 ppm CD.
