Synthesis of spherical mullite/Yb2SiO5 composite EBC powder by using mechanical alloying and spray dry processes
Authors: Hasani Alireza , Mohammadi Majid , Hajian Mostafa , Nieai Ali Abedi 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) have been widely used as protective layers to protect the surface of ceramic components from water vapor degradation and hot corrosion at operating temperature. In this study, ytterbium monosilicate (Yb2SiO5) and mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying to be considered as a new environmental barrier coating. The composite powder was granulated by the spray dryer process and deposited on SiC reinforced by carbon fibers (SiC/Cf) substrate using the atmospheric plasma spray method. Phases in the synthesized composite powders and the deposited EBC were identified using X-ray diffraction. A field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was utilized to study the powder morphology and coating microstructure. After the spray dry processing, the powders exhibited a spherical morphology and good-flowability with a mean particle size of 20–40 µm. The coating thickness was measured to be between 100 and 150 μm. In addition, the results of nanoindentation testing exhibited a hardness of about 8 GPa and an elastic modulus of about 111 GPa for the deposited coatings.

Published: June 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare condition with subserosal or submucosal gas-filled cysts of the gastrointestinal tract. It is often associated with acute mesenteric ischemia, but also non-ischemic causes are described.

Case presentation
A 27-year-old male patient with severe congenital spastic tetraparesis presented to the emergency room with fever and reduced general condition. The patient was hypotonic and tachycardic, had a fever up to 39.7 °C and reduced peripheral oxygen saturation. The laboratory analyses revealed leukocytosis (16.7 G/L) and elevated CRP (162 mg/L).
The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for invasive ventilator treatment because of global respiratory insufficiency and antibiotic therapy due to acute pneumonia and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In addition, he suffered from colonic pseudo-obstruction but with persistent stool passage. After pulmonary recovery, he was transferred to the normal ward of internal medicine, but signs of colonic pseudo-obstruction were still present.
Under therapy with diatrizoic acid and neostigmine, the abdomen was less distended, and the patient had regular bowel movements. After four days, the patient developed sudden acute abdominal pain and suffered sudden pulseless electrical activity. Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation was provided. After the return of spontaneous circulation, the patient underwent computed tomography (CT) and was re-admitted to the ICU. The CT scan showed massive dilatation of the colon, including pneumatosis coli, extensive gas formation within the mesenteric veins and arteries, including massive portal gas in the liver, the splenic vein, the renal veins, and disruption of abdominal aortic perfusion. The patient was then first presented for surgical evaluation, but due to futile prognosis, treatment was ceased on the ICU.

Conclusions
In conclusion, colonic pseudo-obstruction might have led to colonic necrosis and consecutive massive gas formation within the mesenteric vessels. Therefore, intestinal passage should be restored as soon as possible to avoid possible mortality.
The Development of Digital Technology and Changes in Performance Esthetics
Authors: Li Zhenlin 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Digital technology has ushered in the era of immersive movies. These developments have generated new requirements in performance esthetics that are detailed below. For one example, there are new demands for certain types of exaggeration and embellishment as well as more romance and pretense in documentary-style performances. There is also demand for more stylized and cartoonish performance formats. These performances have to be accurate, adequate, and to the point. Emotions should be expressed layer by layer, unrolling smoothly and delicately throughout the performance. Training in non-physical performances should be added to green- and blue-screen performance training. In solo performances without partners, actors and actresses should dramatically characterize their roles and consciousness when acting in the “void” of the studio. The digital era has strengthened attention, comprehension, emotions, etc. as performance attributes. The interaction between film performances and digital technology has contributed to the integration of Chinese performance discourse with the international discourse. Together, these factors have constructed a new type of performance esthetics in Chinese films.

Interactive 3D reconstruction method of fuzzy static images in social media
Authors: Niu Xiaomei 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Because the traditional social media fuzzy static image interactive three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method has the problem of poor reconstruction completeness and long reconstruction time, the social media fuzzy static image interactive 3D reconstruction method is proposed. For preprocessing the fuzzy static image of social media, the Harris corner detection method is used to extract the feature points of the preprocessed fuzzy static image of social media. According to the extraction results, the parameter estimation algorithm of contrast divergence is used to learn the restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) network model, and the RBM network model is divided into input, output, and hidden layers. By combining the RBM-based joint dictionary learning method and a sparse representation model, an interactive 3D reconstruction of fuzzy static images in social media is achieved. Experimental results based on the CAD software show that the proposed method has a reconstruction completeness of above 95% and the reconstruction time is less than 15 s, improving the completeness and efficiency of the reconstruction, effectively reconstructing the fuzzy static images in social media, and increasing the sense of reality of social media images.
Clustering algorithms to increase fairness in collegiate wrestling
Authors: Carter Nathan , Harrison Andrew , Iyengar Amar , Lanham Matthew , Nestler Scott , Schrader Dave , Zadeh Amir 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In NCAA Division III Wrestling, the question arose how to assign schools to regions in a way that optimizes fairness for individual wrestlers aspiring to the national tournament. The problem fell within cluster analysis but no known clustering algorithms supported its complex and interrelated set of needs. We created several bespoke clustering algorithms based on various heuristics (balanced optimization, weighted spatial clustering, and weighted optimization rectangles) for finding an optimal assignment, and tested each against the generic technique of genetic algorithms. While each of our algorithms had different strengths, the genetic algorithm achieved the highest value on our objective function, including when comparing it to the region assignments that preceded our work. This paper therefore demonstrates a technique that can be used to solve a broad category of clustering problems that arise in athletics, particularly any sport in which athletes compete individually but are assigned to regions as a team.
Multinomial regression modeling of vowel insertion patterns: adaptation of coda stops from English to Korean
Authors: Kim Jungyeon 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
When an English word ending in a stop is adapted to Korean, a vowel is variably inserted after the final stop. Vowel insertion in this position is surprising because voiceless stops are permissible in coda position in Korean and it is not motivated by Korean native phonology. This study examines five factors that have been hypothesized to affect the likelihood of vowel insertion, i.e., tenseness of the pre-final vowel, voicing and place of the English final stop, word size and final stress. These possibilities were tested using a corpus of Korean loanwords whose source word ends in a stop. Patterns of vowel insertion were classified as no vowel insertion, vowel insertion, or optional vowel insertion, and analyzed using multinomial regression modeling. The results confirmed that all the relevant factors significantly increased the likelihood of vowel insertion and optional vowel insertion patterns relative to no vowel insertion patterns compared with the reference condition rates. These findings suggest that particular features indeed impact production patterns in loanword phonology. My Results support the need for further research into how other possible auditory factors such as stop release may shape speech perception in loanword adaptation.
Conditional connection explored: the case of Sicilian cusà
Authors: Brucale Luisa , Lo Baido Maria Cristina , Mocciaro Egle 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Stemming from a wh-question, the Sicilian marker cusà (cu sa ‘who knows’) expresses several epistemic meanings, which can also reach the realm of conditionality. The paper explores the discourse profile of cusà as it emerges from the analysis of diachronic data (from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and present-day informal Sicilian, namely spoken Sicilian and present-day informal Sicilian as written by speakers on the web. These data suggest a possible path of development leading from the wh-question to new functions. We propose that the origin of this development can be explained in the light of the strategy of the “impossible question”, while the diverse functions of cusà emerged through concomitant processes of desemantization, reanalysis, and subjectification.
Refugee-based Reasons in Refugee Resettlement – The Case of LGBTIQ+
Authors: Vitikainen Annamari 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This paper discusses a recent turn in the ethics of refugee resettlement which involves taking the interests of refugees themselves into account in the distribution of refugees among potential refugee receiving countries. It argues that there is an important category of interest that does not align with the two commonly held views on what is owed to refugees: ‘safety’ or ‘conditions of a good life’. This category, focussing on the refugees’ interests in not being subjected to a variety of non-asylum-grounding injustices, should, by default, take precedence in the assessment of the refugee-based reasons in refugee resettlement. The normative salience of this category – not being subjected to injustice – is illustrated with the help of the case of LGBTIQ+ refugees, and the kinds of injustices they may be subject to in countries that provide them with asylum.
Excited-state geometry relaxation of pyrene-modified cellulose nanocrystals under UV-light excitation for detecting Fe3+
Authors: Tan Ling , Fan Qiandan , Huang Fei , Tian Xin , Wei Wei , Bian Tongxin , Guo Yifan , Xu Xiaoling , Zhou Zuowan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Capturing and detecting Fe3+ ions in aqueous solution is of great significance in biological systems as well as the water treatment industry. Herein, pyrene-modified cellulose nanocrystal (CNC-1-Pyr) acting as a fluorescent probe was prepared by a one-step esterification reaction, which shows geometry relaxation under UV-light excitation. Experiments and density functional theory-based simulations revealed that the structural geometry relaxation is controlled by the electron excitation and fluorescence emission. The S1 state of CNC-1-Pyr provides a conformation match for coordination with Fe3+ under the excitation of UV light, facilitating the detecting and capturing of Fe3+ efficiently.

Abstract
Snakebite envenoming is a health concern and has been a neglected tropical disease since 2017, according to the World Health Organization. In this study, we evaluated the ability of ten 1,2,3-triazole derivatives AM001 to AM010 to inhibit pertinent in vitro (coagulant, hemolytic, and proteolytic) and in vivo (hemorrhagic, edematogenic, and lethal) activities of Bothrops jararaca venom. The derivatives were synthesized, and had their molecular structures fully characterized by CHN element analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Nuclear magnetic resonance. The derivatives were incubated with the B. jararaca venom (incubation protocol) or administered before (prevention protocol) or after (treatment protocol) the injection of B. jararaca venom into the animals. Briefly, the derivatives were able to inhibit the main toxic effects triggered by B. jararaca venom, though with varying efficacies, and they were devoid of toxicity through in vivo, in silico or in vitro analyses. However, it seemed that the derivatives AM006 or AM010 inhibited more efficiently hemorrhage or lethality, respectively. The derivatives were nontoxic. Therefore, the 1,2,3-triazole derivatives may be useful as an adjuvant to more efficiently treat the local toxic effects caused by B. jararaca envenoming.
Methylglyoxal and high glucose inhibit VEGFR2 phosphorylation at specific tyrosine residues
Authors: Betting Fabian , Schlunck Günther , Agostini Hansjürgen T. , Martin Gottfried 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia and a significant risk of vascular complications. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its main receptor VEGFR2 (KDR), which is highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells, are essential mediators of vascular maintenance and angiogenesis. During glycolysis after high calorie food intake, methylglyoxal (MGO) is formed and MGO blood levels are elevated in diabetes. MGO reacts with arginine residues to generate MG-H1 or with lysine residues to carboxyethyl lysine which are common components of advanced glycation end-products. Therefore, the question arises whether hyperglycemic conditions affect VEGF signaling via a ligand-independent direct modification of signaling components. As a first step, the effect of MGO on VEGFR2 activation was investigated in cultured endothelial cells from human umbilical vein by determination of VEGFR2 phosphorylation at selected tyrosine residues by ELISA and immunoblotting using phospho-specific antibodies. Phosphorylation of VEGFR2-Y996, VEGFR2-Y1054, or VEGFR2-Y1175 reached a maximum 5 min after stimulation of endothelial cells with VEGF. Phosphorylation was significantly inhibited by 100 µM MGO and to a lesser extent by high glucose treatment. 2,3-Pentanedione and glyoxal were investigated for comparison. In summary, VEGFR2 phosphorylation is sensitive to MGO or high glucose concentrations which may be relevant in the pathophysiology of microvascular disease in diabetes.
Considerations to Optimize Strength and Muscle Mass Gains Through Flywheel Resistance Devices: A Narrative Review
Authors: Raya-González Javier , Castillo Daniel , de Keijzer Kevin L. , Beato Marco 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Flywheel (FW) resistance training is a valid and time-efficient method to improve force production and muscular hypertrophy. However, no definitive consensus exists regarding FW parameters for optimizing chronic training responses. Therefore, this review aims to examine the FW training literature and provide evidence-based conclusions and practical applications for practitioners. This review reports that FW resistance training is a valid strategy to improve force, power, and hypertrophy responses; however, differences with traditional training programs have not been clearly established. It is not possible to state that FW training is superior to traditional resistance training methodologies. Moreover, the differences between populations and sex should be studied in further depth to establish robust conclusions. Finally, this review reports variables (duration, volume, and intensity) that should be adopted to improve force, power, and hypertrophy responses—even though future research is needed to establish the appropriate training dose for specific populations.
Response of multiple hormones to glucose and arginine challenge in T2DM after gastric bypass
Authors: Fanni Giovanni , Katsogiannos Petros , Nandi Jui Bipasha , Sundbom Magnus , Hetty Susanne , Pereira Maria J , Eriksson Jan W 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) leads to beneficial metabolic adaptations, including enhanced incretin secretion, beta-cell function, and systemic insulin sensitivity. We explored the impact of RYGB on pituitary, pancreatic, gut hormones, and cortisol responses to parenteral and enteral nutrient stimulation in patients with obesity and T2DM with repeated sampling up to 2 years after intervention.

Methods
We performed exploratory post hoc analyses in a previously reported randomized trial. Levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, growth hormone (GH), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), peptide YY (PYY), ACTH, insulin, and glucagon were measured in 13 patients with T2DM and obesity at four different visits: before and 4, 24, and 104 weeks after RYGB; and in three sequential conditions on the same day: fasting, intravenous arginine challenge, and OGTT.

Results
RYGB surprisingly induced a rise in ACTH, cortisol, and GH levels upon an oral glucose load, together with enhanced GLP-1 and PYY responses. Fasting and post-arginine GH levels were higher after RYGB, whereas insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, and cortisol were lower. These endocrine adaptations were seen as early as 4 weeks after surgery and were maintained for up to 2 years.

Conclusion
These findings indicate adaptations of glucose sensing mechanisms and responses in multiple endocrine organs after RYGB, involving the gut, pancreatic islets, the pituitary gland, the adrenals, and the brain.

Zoltán Kodály and Hungarian Dance
Authors: Pávai István 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In addition to folk music, Zoltán Kodály was interested in folk dance. This is evidenced not only by his writings dedicated to the subject – some relevant ideas are to be found in his publications mainly focused on other topics. In this article, the author collects both Kodály's writings explicitly related to folk dance as well as the “hidden” ideas, presented partly chronologically, partly in thematic groups. Topics include: Kodály's dance experiences, his practical dance knowledge, his work of exploring data of historical dance music, his role in the emergence of Hungarian ethnochoreology as a scholarly discipline, his critical views on the use of folk dance on stage, etc. In contrast to the earlier literature, this article no longer considers the Hungarian shepherds' horn signals as the inspirational sources for Bécsi harangjátek [Viennese Clock], a movement which imitates a musical clock in Kodály's Singspiel Háry János. The movement entitled Branle de village, part of seventeenth-century Austrian composer Johann Heinrich Schmelzer's Partita ex Vienna, contains some bars that bear a close resemblance to the repeated main motif of Kodály's Viennese Clock. It is safe to assume that Branle de village was Kodály's source of inspiration, given that there is evidence that he studied the DTÖ-collection of Schmelzer's works: he referred to this volume where he found a Styrian version of a Székely dance tune.
The Forgotten Youth of Sándor Veress
Authors: Dalos Anna 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Although Sándor Veress achieved his first significant successes in Hungary and abroad at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s, musicological research still remains indebted to the detailed analysis of the composer's career related to the history of Hungarian music and cultural life. Based on press and archival documents, letters and recollections, and the historical literature of the period as well, the present study attempts to explore the socio-cultural environment that characterized and helped to unfold Veress's development. My study looks at the composer's network of contacts, his family ties and the political-ideological movements and relations with the Reformed Church that promoted his career, and examines their direct influence on Sándor Veress's works composed during this period, especially The Miraculous Flute (1937), the Japanese Symphony (1940) and Térszili Katica (1943).
