Abstract. The primary goal of the analysis was to establish a high-quality precipitation reference dataset, which is both consistent and homogeneous,
for calculation of the new standard climate normals (1991–2020). Climatol
homogenization method was applied to detect inhomogeneities in 325 Norwegian precipitation series, during the period 1961–2018. Results from homogeneity testing found inhomogeneities in 29 % of the 325 series, however, only 25 % were classified as inhomogeneous after conferring with metadata and therefore adjusted. Relocation of the precipitation gauge and automation were the main causes of all the inhomogeneities in the Norwegian series, explaining 71 % and 12 % respectively of all detected breaks. Results further showed benefits of incorporating metadata to the automatically detected inhomogeneities. Linear trend analysis showed increasing trends in the period 1961–2018 except in autumn where a decreasing trend was observed. The homogeneity analysis produced a 58-year long homogenous dataset for 325 monthly precipitation sums with regional temporal variability and spatial coherence that is better than that of non-homogenized series. The dataset is more reliable in explaining the large-scale climate variations and was used to calculate the new climate normals in Norway.

Background Several studies have evaluated the outcomes of tantalum cones in revision knee arthroplasty with moderate-to-severe metaphyseal bone defects. However, recent innovations have led to the development of 3-D printed titanium cones to better adapt to host bone, there remains no consensus on their overall performance. Objective We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature to examine short-term survivorship and complication rates of their usage in revision TKAs. Methods A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for English articles using various combinations of keywords. Results In all, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 687 cones were implanted in 557 revision TKAs. The all-cause revision-free survivorship of the implants was 95.3% (26 revisions), and of the cones was 95.5% (31 cones revised) at mean 24 months follow-up. The cones revision-free survivorship from aseptic loosening was 99.7%. The overall complication rate was 19.7% with infection as the most common complications observed and the most frequent reason for revision with an incidence of 10.4% and 4.1%, respectively. Overall, functional outcomes improved as documented by postoperative knee scores. Conclusion 3-D printed metal cones represent a reliable option in metaphyseal bone defects reconstruction that provides high fixation, good short-term survivorship, and complications rates in line with similar devices. In addition, they are associated with lower intraoperative complications, and higher survivorship from aseptic loosening.

Neuro-ferritnopathy (NBIA) is a bag of diseases due to abnormal iron metabolism. It has different underlying
genetic and enzymatic abnormalities. On the other hand, they share some radiological features. Patients
present with a wide range of cerebral symptoms and signs. Diagnosis depends on the semiology, genetic
testing and MRI imaging. No specific treatment is available for these cases and they represent a challenge
to the treating neurologist. Here we illustrate two interesting cases with their clinical and imaging findings
to raise the awareness of such rare diseases and help diagnosing them in a low- resource setting.

Published: June 2022

In a developing country like India, the incidence of snake bites is very high. Some states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, etc. are the worst affected states. The rate of fatality is also comparatively higher in India as there is usually a delay in hospital admission. In the present study, we observed a higher incidence of snakebites amongst farmers and field workers in the age range of 21 to 40 years with a male preponderance. Most commonly bite marks were seen on legs and hands. Pain, local swelling, and neurotoxic features were dominant clinical features at the time of hospitalization. None of the victims were found using protective measures such as rubber gloves or long boots while working in the field.
Comin’ Out the Broom Closet: Appalachian Pagans and Their Queer Future Worlding
Authors: Pendygraft Caleb 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This expositional article offers the term “pagan” through which to imagine the future of queer Appalachia. Meaning “person of the place” and eventually “of the country,” “heathen,” or “hick,” “pagan” provides a framework that resists national narratives about Appalachia and defies those cisheteropatriarchal narratives from within our region. Albeit only a beginning and incomplete, this article provides a lexical survey of pagan-worlding, a queer neologism that I coin here as a creative, enacted performance of place-based vernation that resists anthropocentrism. I write on four axioms of pagan-worlding and their implications for a queer Appalachia: storytelling modalities as worldmaking, land-based ontologies and their connection to identity, immanent sacrality in lieu of salvational transcendence, and non-human and human inter-reliance. I suggest that the future of Appalachia requires a multiplicitous understanding of the world around us, one that sees non-human actors as critical players and demands that we queer how we relate to the land. I propose that a pagan future is a queer one because it speculates that non-humans have intimate, queer bonds with Appalachians, and we must rethink and see these relations as necessary for the future of Appalachia.
Sobre la imputación objetiva en Derecho Penal
Authors: Sánchez Gallego José Félix 
Published: June 2022

La teoría de la imputación objetiva es un instrumento de superlativa importancia para la realización de los tipos penales, puesto que proporciona criterios normativos con los cuales es posible determinar si tienen ocasión la imputación de la conducta y del resultado; con lo cual se distancia de la causalidad que se ocupa de asuntos naturalísticos que, en buena parte de las veces, no interesan al Derecho penal. En todo caso, la causalidad puede ser considerada como un punto a examinar, de manera previa, a abordar las cuestiones que incumben a la imputación objetiva. Pese a la importancia de la referida teoría, es poco lo que hemos adelantado para su materialización en nuestro medio, por ende, es preceptivo emprender algunas reflexiones sobre la misma en esta oportunidad, con miras al examen de sus dimensiones y propiciar, en alguna forma, su concreción.

Financial technology with its divisions and tools is considered one of the fastest economic catalysts in the financial industry, being the main window for innovation and the provision of advanced financial services, Despite the major transformations that have taken place over the decades due to changes in technological systems, economic and political legislation and even geography, many authors have pointed to the birth of a new era of financial services, which will be radically reflected in the financial industry as a whole. Because of the importance of the topic and how new it is for the banking sector, attracting the attention of financial and economic bodies and financial and business leaders in addition to its association to the technology sector, cybersecurity and information network, it was necessary to identify the term financial technology (fintech) and clarify its origin and purpose and track its origin and development and show its relationship to the successive technological revolutions. The research concluded that the sequential and successive developments of each of the industrial revolutions as well as the changes in their biological, physical and digital engines confirm the fact that a new generation of technology will lead to sweeping changes in the nature and future of many sectors including the financial and banking sectors. The digital technological catalyst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution can be considered the main basis for the emergence of new tools, technologies and entities, collectively called financial technology. The term financing technology and financial technology have to be differentiated, as financing technology is part of the fbusiness models of financial technology and returns to them.
Een halve eeuw discussie over een preambule
Authors: de Vries Jurn 
Published: June 2022

Half a century of discussion about a preamble
If the parliament agrees to it in second reading, the Dutch Constitution will be introduced by a general provision: ‘The Constitution guarantees fundamental rights and the democratic constitutional state.’ This concludes a discussion that mainly concerned a preamble. Christian politicians regularly argued for a reference to God in a preamble. Bart Verbrugh argued in the state commission-Cals/Donner for recognition of God‘s authority in the Constitution. The later Thomassen State Commission did not propose a preamble, but a general provision, which was adopted by the government in an abbreviated form.

Authors: GÖMEÇ Muhammed , YULAK Fatih , ERGÜL Mustafa 
Published: June 2022

Background: High levels of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), which have been found to be abnormally expressed in many tumor types, are known to contribute to tumorigenesis and poor prognosis. Therefore, specific targeting of PLK1 is an important strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of SBE13, one of the PLK1 inhibitors, against HT29 colon adenocarcinoma cells and its apoptotic potential.
Methods: The cytotoxic effect of SBE13 on HT29 was determined by XTT colorimetric assay. Flow cytometry was also used to determine apoptosis.
Results: SBE13 showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in HT29 cells and its IC50 value was calculated as 11.79 µM for 48 h. Moreover, the Annexin V binding assay revealed that SBE13 treatment significantly increased the apoptosis in HT29 cells.
Conclusion: Generally, SBE13 exerts a cytotoxic effect promoted by apoptosis in colon cancer cells HT29. Although the anticancer efficacy of SBE13 in colon cancer is promising, this potential effect should be reinforced by further studies.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAlthough charge excitation is an effective approach to achieve high charge density for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), high output charge is limited by air‐breakdown. Due to capacitor structure, there are two ways to reduce the influence of air‐breakdown in TENG: decrease in thickness and increase in permittivity of dielectric film. Obviously, the increase in permittivity is more reliable in applications. Herein, a double‐layer TENG shared with one floating metal electrode is proposed, on which charge is injected by a self‐excitation circuit. An ultrafast self‐polarization effect is found in two barium titanate filled poly(vinylidene fluoride) composite films in the TENG by high electrical field produced from the floating electrode. According to comparison and analysis, the speed of polarization to saturation of dielectric composite films in self‐charge excitation approach is ≈3 times faster than that of external‐charge excitation. Optimization of various parameters is investigated to enhance the output performance of the TENG. A large output charge density of 1.67 mC m–2 is achieved in the atmosphere with 40% relative humidity due to self‐polarization effect of the dielectric composite film. This study provides insights into understanding the polarized behavior of molecules in dielectrics and further optimizing the output performance of TENGs in self‐charge excitation systems.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThin graphene oxide (GO) films have been widely explored for their outstanding optical properties, especially their large optical nonlinear coefficients, and high tunability of optical nonlinear coefficients under photoreduction. In this work, an experimental observation of giant nonlinear optical response in GO films under two different photoreduction mechanisms is reported. After ultraviolet (UV) light‐induced photochemical reduction and continuous wave (CW) laser‐induced photothermal reduction, the nonlinear optical response of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via the Z‐scan method using a femtosecond laser beam at a wavelength of 800 nm is characterized. The rGO exhibits a giant optical nonlinearity, especially two‐photon absorption (TPA). A giant TPA coefficient of rGO on the order of ≈105 cm GW−1 is obtained under two photoreduction mechanisms (photochemistry and photothermal). This is the first time that a large enhancement effect of TPA has been observed in graphene‐based materials, and the TPA coefficient is an order of magnitude higher than the highest value previously reported. The versatile optical nonlinear properties imply a huge potential of the GO film in advanced photonic and optoelectronic devices such as broadband ultrafast optical switching and optical limiting.

Published: June 2022

AbstractOver the past 15 years, numerous studies have been conducted on the use of nanocarbons as biomaterials towards such applications as drug delivery systems, cancer therapy, and regenerative medicine. However, the clinical use of nanocarbons remains elusive, primarily due to short‐ and long‐term safety concerns. It is essential that the biosafety of each therapeutic modality be demonstrated in logical and well‐conducted experiments. Accordingly, the fundamental techniques for assessing nanocarbon biomaterial safety have become more advanced. Optimal controls are being established, nanocarbon dispersal techniques are being refined, the array of biokinetic evaluation methods has increased, and carcinogenicity examinations under strict conditions have been developed. The medical implementation of nanocarbons as a biomaterial is in sight. With a particular focus on carbon nanotubes, these perspectives aim to summarize the contributions to date on nanocarbon applications and biosafety, introduce the recent achievements in evaluation techniques, and clarify the future prospects and systematic introduction of carbon nanomaterials for clinical use through practical yet sophisticated assessment methods.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAntimony selenosulfide (Sb2(S,Se)3), a simple alloyed compound containing earth‐abundant constituents, with a tunable bandgap and high absorption coefficient has attracted significant attention in high‐efficiency photovoltaic applications. Optimizing interfacial defects and absorber layers to a high standard is essential in improving the efficiency of Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells. In particular, the electron transport layer (ETL) greatly affects the final device performance of the superstrate structure. In this study, a simple and effective hydrazine hydrate (N2H4) solution post‐treatment is proposed to modify CdS ETL in order to enhance Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cell efficiency. By this process, oxides and residual chlorides, caused by CdCl2 treated CdS under a high temperature over 400 °C in air, are appropriately removed, rendering smoother and flatter CdS ETL as well as high‐quality Sb2(S,Se)3 thin films. Furthermore, the interfacial energy band alignment and recombination loss are both improved, resulting in an as‐fabricated FTO/CdS‐N2H4/Sb2(S,Se)3/spiro‐OMeTAD/Au solar cell with a high PCE of 10.30%, placing it in the top tier of Sb‐based solar devices. This study provides a fresh perspective on interfacial optimization and promotes the future development of antimony chalcogenide‐based planar solar cells.
