Augmentative and Alternative Communication and Friendships: Considerations for Speech-Language Pathologists
Authors: Therrien Michelle , Rossetti Zach , Østvik Jørn 
Published: December 2022

Purpose:
Friendships are enjoyable and desirable relationships with personal and developmental benefits for all people. However, individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) experience barriers to developing and maintaining friendships. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), with expertise in communication, social pragmatics, and AAC, are uniquely qualified to support friendship for individuals who use AAC. This clinical focus article provides a background on friendship and friendship development generally, then outlines considerations for SLPs to support individuals who use AAC to develop and maintain authentic friendships with peers across the lifespan.

Conclusions:
Communication with peers is an essential component of friendship development and maintenance. SLPs should recognize that they have clients on their caseloads who desire friendship and who likely experience barriers to developing or maintaining friendships. When SLPs have a friendship mindset, they identify authentic, motivating opportunities for social interaction; provide the needed tools, including AAC, to support communication within those opportunities; and target communicative competence as part of treatment.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe bioeconomy drives the development of life science and biotechnology as a blueprint for the future development of human society, and offers a cross‐cutting perspective on the societal transformation towards long‐term sustainability and the transition away from the non‐renewable economy. Moreover, the sustainable bioeconomy strategies are consistent with the United Nation's (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and are becoming the centre of the achievement for SDG. The Chinese ‘14th Five‐Year Plan for Bioeconomy Development’ (2021–2025), including the development goals of China's bioeconomy containing biomedicine, agriculture, bio‐manufacturing and bio‐security as a strategic priority, is discussed. The plan offers three pathways to improve bioeconomy, including technological innovation, industrialisation and policy supports. Finally, it concludes China's first bioeconomy development plan as a success, suggesting the key role of industrial biotechnology in bioeconomy.
An edge thinning algorithm based on newly defined single‐pixel edge patterns

Published: December 2022

AbstractTo improve the uniformity of one‐pixel width and continuity of the thinned edges, this paper proposes an edge thinning algorithm acting on grey‐scale edge images based on 24 self‐defined single‐pixel connection patterns. First, for binary or blurred grey‐scale gradient edge images, a distance–greyscale coupling algorithm is proposed to achieve gradient enhancement in the edge width direction. Then the elimination rules of noise points and gradient calculation method are given. Secondly, the marking rules of the first three pixels of each edge are given. The next pixel to be marked must meet that the new last three pixels belong to the 24 connection modes. Whether the qualified pixels are retained depends on its grey value and the local edge gradient. The algorithm is tested on four types of images. The results show that the proposed method can guarantee uniform, smooth, and connected one‐pixel‐wide lines that lie at the centre of the initial edges. The algorithm and the existing algorithms are performed on portrait image and four scenarios of the indoor datasets. Five evaluation indicators are statistically analyzed to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Artificial intelligence meets radar resource management: A comprehensive background and literature review

Published: December 2022

AbstractA multi‐function radar is designed to perform disparate functions, such as surveillance, tracking, fire control, amongst others, within a limited resource (time, frequency, and energy) budget. A radar resource management (RRM) module within a radar system makes decisions on prioritisation, parameter selection, and scheduling of associated tasks. However, optimal RRM algorithms are generally computationally complex and operational radars resort to heuristics. On the other hand, algorithms based on artificial intelligence (AI) have been shown to yield near‐optimal radar resource allocation results at manageable computational complexity. This survey study aims at enabling researchers and practitioners better understand the application of AI in RRM‐related problems by providing a thorough literature review of AI‐based RRM techniques. We first provide background concepts in RRM followed by a brief review of Symbolic‐AI techniques for RRM. We mainly focus on the applications of state‐of‐the‐art machine learning techniques to RRM. We emphasise on the recent findings and their potential within practical RRM scenarios for real‐time resource allocation optimisation. The study concludes with a discussion of open research problems and future research directions in the light of the presented survey.
Methodology and parameters to analyse daylighting and energy use in dense cities: A literature review
Authors: Pepe Emanuele , Dubois Marie-Claude , Gentile Niko , Bernardo Ricardo 
Published: December 2022

Low energy buildings are key to reduce global energy use. However, achieving low energy use and good daylight levels simultaneously in dense cities is challenging. This article reviews relevant studies dealing with energy use and daylighting in dense residential urban blocks located in Nordic climates. The literature review combines a systematic and a ‘snowball’ search approach. Findings indicate that previous research relies heavily on parametric design as a tool. Few density metrics were found particularly relevant to describe the interplay between density, daylight, and energy use.
However, the limited body of research achieved so far in the Nordic climate makes it difficult to draw a clear conclusion, suggesting that additional research is required.
Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Neoplasms – What is Possible, What is Useful?
Authors: Droste Annika , Anic Katharina , Hasenburg Annette 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe use of minimally invasive surgical techniques is becoming increasingly important in gynecologic oncology due to technical advances and the increasing level of surgical expertise. In
addition to laparoscopic approaches for the treatment of benign neoplasms, minimally invasive surgical methods have also become established in some areas for treating gynecologic
malignancies. For tumor entities such as endometrial and cervical carcinoma, there are conclusive studies emphasizing the role of laparoscopy in surgical therapy. By contrast, due to a lack
of prospective data with survival analyses, no clear conclusions can be drawn on the significance of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of ovarian carcinoma. However, some smaller, mostly
retrospective case–control studies and cohort studies open the way for a discussion, positing the possibility that laparoscopic surgical procedures, particularly for early ovarian carcinoma,
are technically feasible and of a quality equivalent to that of conventional longitudinal laparotomy, and may also be associated with lower perioperative morbidity.In this article we discuss the most important aspects of using minimally invasive surgical techniques for ovarian carcinoma based on the current literature. In particular we look at the
relevance of laparoscopy as a primary approach for surgical staging of early ovarian carcinoma, and we evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in assessing the operability of advanced
ovarian carcinoma.
Religion und Spiritualität als relevante Dimension bei psychiatrischen Patienten
Authors: Pfeifer Samuel 
Published: December 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGMacht Religion krank? Die Annäherung an die Beziehung zwischen psychiatrischen Syndromen und Religion/Spiritualität (R/S) erfordert die Berücksichtigung mehrerer Aspekte: die Frage der Kausalität, die Interpretation statistischer Korrelationen und die Rolle von Bewältigungsressourcen. Darüber hinaus verweist die Formulierung „relevante Dimensionen bei psychiatrischen Patienten“ auf die subjektiven, existenziellen Aspekte des Erlebens im Individuum. Die Übersicht fokussiert auf 3 große Syndrome bei psychiatrischen Patienten: Wahnvorstellungen mit religiösem Inhalt, depressive Zustände und Angststörungen. Auch wenn wahnhafte Erfahrungen primär durch neurobiologische Mechanismen verursacht werden, so kann der Inhalt der Wahnvorstellungen doch durch kulturelle Faktoren, einschließlich religiöser Konzepte, geprägt werden. Es gibt empirische Belege dafür, dass R/S bei Patienten mit Schizophrenie eine wichtige unterstützende Rolle spielen kann. Die zweite Gruppe, die affektiven Störungen, weist ein differenzierteres Muster der Kausalität auf, da einige Untersuchungen eine höhere Inzidenz bei Patienten mit einem konservativen, schuldorientierten religiösen Hintergrund festgestellt haben. Der Zusammenhang ist komplex, da es möglicherweise Persönlichkeitsfaktoren gibt, die Menschen zu religiösen Traditionen hinziehen. Eine Metaanalyse deutet darauf hin, dass religiöse Überzeugungen und Praktiken helfen können, mit belastenden Lebensumständen besser fertig zu werden, Sinn und Hoffnung zu geben und depressive Personen mit einer unterstützenden Gemeinschaft zu umgeben. Die dritte Gruppe, die Angststörungen, zeigt einen deutlichen Unterschied zwischen klinischen Angststörungen und komplexen Persönlichkeitskonstellationen mit einem hohen Grad an Neurotizismus. In der klinischen Gruppe konnte in einer Metaanalyse keine Korrelation zwischen R/S und der Ausprägung des Syndroms gefunden werden. Die Forschung auf dem neu entstehenden Gebiet der „spiritual struggles“ hat eine multifaktorielle Interaktion zwischen subjektiven Ängsten und religiösen Konflikten gezeigt, die stark vom Grad des Neurotizismus beeinflusst wird und ihre Wurzeln in einer komplexen Temperaments-Disposition jenseits religiöser Faktoren hat. Zusammenfassend lässt sich die Korrelation von R/S und krankheitsbedingter individueller Erfahrung in 3 Konzepten zusammenfassen: Kultur, Konflikt und Coping, moduliert durch eine neurobiologische Basis psychischer Erkrankungen.
Verlorener Sohn und barmherziger Vater
Authors: Stotz-Ingenlath Gabriele 
Published: December 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGAnhand des Gleichnisses vom verlorenen Sohn, der zum barmherzigen Vater zurückkehrt, werden verschiedene Dimensionen von Schuld wie die Tat- oder Unterlassungsschuld (culpa), die ontologisch-existenzielle Schuld (debitum) sowie die tragische Schuld (causa) unterschieden und Voraussetzungen von Schuldfähigkeit wie Autonomie, Wahlfreiheit und Gewissen erörtert. Subjektive Schuldgefühle werden in ihrem Ausmaß (pathologisch oder adäquat) und ihrer Genese (genuin, unbewusst, biologisch) betrachtet und beim Umgang mit Schuldgefühl auf therapeutischer Seite die Gestaltung einer wohlwollenden straffreien Atmosphäre und auf Betroffenenseite die Anerkennung und Äußerung von Schuld sowie bei angetaner Schuld das Bemühen um Vergebung empfohlen.
Vergeblichkeit und Vergänglichkeit des Lebens im Buch „Kohelet“
Authors: Juckel Georg , Mavrogiorgou Paraskevi 
Published: December 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGIm Rahmen der existenziellen Psychotherapie sollten Lebensthemen wie berufliche und private Erschütterungen, Einsamkeit und Sinnlosigkeit, aber auch Krankheit, Sterben und Tod besonders vertieft und hinsichtlich ihres psychischen Erlebens mit Angstgefühlen und Angstgedanken bearbeitet werden. Die Erfahrung von Vergeblichkeit und Vergänglichkeit teilen Menschen seit Jahrtausenden und ist Thema in einem erstaunlichen Buch der Bibel, dem Buch „Kohelet“ oder „Prediger Salomo“. In diesem Buch wird die Wichtigkeit des diesseitigen, alltäglichen Lebens im Hier und Jetzt mit all seinen Freuden, aber auch in all seiner maßvollen Genügsamkeit und Endlichkeitsperspektive herausgearbeitet. Wichtig sei dabei der weltanschauliche Bezug, vor allem im Glauben mit Gottesfürchtigkeit und Gottvertrauen, mit dem man seine existenziellen Ängste auch in Krisen am besten begegnen kann. Damit gibt Kohelet wichtige Anstöße für die heutige psychiatrisch-psychotherapeutische Behandlung, in jedem Visitenkontakt und Gespräch auch die innerlich mit am stärksten berührenden Themen von Vergänglichkeit und Endlichkeit umfassender als bisher anzusprechen. Viele psychiatrische Patienten haben hier religiös-spirituelle Bedürfnisse, was als positive Ressource genutzt werden könnte.
Religiös-spirituelle Psychotherapieansätze und Grenzen der Integration
Authors: Utsch Michael 
Published: December 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGAusgehend von der Wiederentdeckung religiös-spiritueller Therapieansätze stellt der Aufsatz die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines religionssensiblen Vorgehens in der Psychotherapie dar. Vor allem buddhistische Ansätze sind weit verbreitet, deren weltanschaulichen Grundlagen jedoch zu wenig reflektiert und kommuniziert werden. Es werden Merkmale einer religiös-spirituellen Grundhaltung beschrieben, die am Beispiel buddhistischer, islamischer und christlicher Ansätze verdeutlicht werden. Der Aufsatz plädiert für eine Grundhaltung der Offenheit bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung der Behandlungsziele. Psychotherapeutische und spirituelle Behandlungsziele werden dabei unterschieden und letztere der Seelsorge zugewiesen.

Physician's Knowledge and Practices Surrounding Low-Dose Aspirin for Preeclampsia Risk Reduction
Authors: Martinez-King L Carolina , Machiorlatti Michael , Ogburn Tony , Salcedo Jennifer 
Published: December 2022

Objective Preeclampsia is a leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths. Up to 60% of maternal deaths associated with preeclampsia may be prevented. Clinical trials have shown that low-dose aspirin reduces preeclampsia up to 30% among women at increased risk. Since 2014, multiple professional societies and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force have released guidelines on the use of low-dose aspirin to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. We aimed to evaluate physician's knowledge and practices surrounding low-dose aspirin for preeclampsia risk reduction.
Study Design We distributed an anonymous electronic survey to licensed physicians in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas who provide prenatal care, including general obstetrician–gynecologists, maternal fetal medicine subspecialists, and family medicine physicians. The survey consisted of 20 items assessing demographics, provider practices, and knowledge on the use of low-dose aspirin for preeclampsia risk reduction.
Results We received 48 surveys with a response rate of 55%. More than 90% of physicians reported recommending low-dose aspirin for preeclampsia risk reduction, of which 98% correctly identified the dose. Of the physicians recommending aspirin, 83% initiate dosing between 12 and 16 weeks, but only 52% continue it until the day of delivery. Nearly 80% of respondents identified that one high-risk factor for preeclampsia is an indication for prophylaxis, but only 56% identified that two or more moderate risk factors should prompt aspirin recommendation.
Conclusion Despite clear professional guidelines, physicians demonstrated gaps in knowledge and differences in practices. Enhancing screening tools to assess patient's risk of developing preeclampsia and tailored medical education on moderate risk factors are needed to identify patients who may benefit from this intervention. Increasing the use of aspirin in patients at risk is critical given the benefits of low-dose aspirin in the reduction of poor maternal and neonatal outcomes related to preeclampsia.

Relating Factors and Trends in Hearing Device Adoption Rates to Opportunities for Hearing Health Care Providers
Authors: Jorgensen Lindsey E. , Barrett Rachel E. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAs with many professions, audiology is continuing to evolve. More specifically in terms of hearing device technology, we see evolution in remote accessibility to providers, public knowledge of devices, and services provided by hearing care professionals. Each of these topics plays a role in an individual's decision to pursue any sort of hearing care services. Given the variety of new devices soon coming to the market (over-the-counter devices), it is important for the audiologist to understand patient motivators and how they have a great impact on both the practice of audiology as well as the patient's overall satisfaction. The goal of this article is to investigate the MarkeTrak 2022 data to determine the trends in adoption and use of hearing aids as well as examine predictive factors that can be used to better understand hearing aid adoption.

Published: December 2022

Objective Provision of compassionate care to infants and their families in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a key component of competent critical care. Although recognized as an essential aspect of NICU care, compassionate care for infants and families in a NICU setting has been underexplored. This study defined and described compassionate care according to NICU staff.
Study Design Voice-recorded, face-to-face individual interviews occurred with NICU nurses (n = 45), NICU nurse practitioners (n = 15), and neonatologists (n = 9) from two NICUs in the midwestern United States. Semantic content analysis was used. Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research guidelines were followed.
Results Three dynamic and interactive qualitative themes emerged: excellent standard of intensive care, commitment, and engaged family communication. A conceptual framework entitled patient and family needs-based care was developed from the qualitative interviews.
Conclusion The framework developed from this study supports the therapeutic journey of NICU infants and families by integrating a focus on compassionate personalized care within the context of keen clinical and communication skillsets that staff have gained throughout their NICU careers.

Percutaneous Image-Guided Drainage of Abdominal Fluid Collections in Children: Technical Considerations and Clinical Scenarios
Authors: Gallo-Bernal Sebastian , Cahalane Alexis M. , Gee Michael S. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWhile initially conceived and designed for adults, percutaneous image-guided drainage of abdominal pelvic and fluid collections has revolutionized the management of several pediatric pathologies. Interventional radiology procedures markedly reduce morbidity and mortality by offering a definitive minimally invasive approach or allowing a cleaner and less challenging subsequent open approach. These procedures are associated with improved patient comfort and rapid recovery. While similar techniques apply to children and adults, successful adaptation of image-guided interventional techniques in children requires consideration of several critical differences. This review aims to discuss the indications, contraindications, and technical aspects of percutaneous image-guided drainage of abdominal and pelvic fluid collections in children.

Published: December 2022

High-power microwave sources have been widely applied for material processing in scientific research and manufacturing. The development of stable, high-frequency, high-power microwave sources is essential for achieving efficient microwave processing. This study proposes using a square doubly reentrant coupled-cavity as the slow-wave resonant structure in a K-band extended interaction oscillator (EIO). This design allows for ease of fabrication and high-power capability. The EIO is designed to operate in single 0-mode. The simulation results show that the competing π/5-mode can be effectively suppressed by properly choosing the width and location of the output coupler. The simulation and experiments successfully demonstrate stable, single-mode, tunable, high-performance operation of the EIO. The experimental measurements show a maximum output power of 1.776 kW (18.56% electronic efficiency), and a wave frequency of 24.324 GHz at a beam voltage of 17.4 kV and beam current of 550 mA. The EIO microwave source is suitable for interdisciplinary applications that require higher heating rates and greater uniformity.
From canopy to single flowers: a downscale approach to flowering of the invasive species
Authors: Vicente Sara , Giovanetti Manuela , Trindade Helena , Máguas Cristina 
Published: December 2022

Context Acacia longifolia is a native legume of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania and is invasive in many parts of the world. A key feature to its success is the production of a high quantity of flowers every season, resulting in a massive seedbank that remains dormant in the soil for decades. Many studies have been performed on this species’ reproductive biology, but none has focused on flowering in detail. Aims Our main objective was to understand this species’ resource allocation strategy that ensures its successful reproduction in the invasive range. Methods We developed an integrative approach, assessing flowering at different levels, namely, canopy and branch flowering (macro scale), downscaling to individual flower functional stages and their duration, pollen longevity and stigma receptivity (micro scale). We performed this study in three different locations in sand dunes along the Portuguese coast with different environmental conditions. Key results Canopy flowering shows no difference among sites. Pollen and stigma assessment showed that this species is protogynous, with the stigma being highly receptive long before pollen is released. Once released, pollen lasts roughly 72 h. Individual flowers are relatively short-lived, with a rapid progression from closed flower buds to fully open flowers. Implications Our results indicated that A. longifolia has a resource trade-off strategy of investing in flowers and pollen that are relatively short-lived, which are counterbalanced by their massive quantities.
