Published: December 2022

ObjectiveThe clinical spectrum of primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) and especially common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) includes various autoimmune disorders. We studied the prevalence and the features of articular rheumatic disease in a cohort of patient with PADs.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, complete clinical data of 268 patients with PADs, mainly consisting of patients with CVID, visiting the immunology outpatient clinic of a German tertiary hospital between 2018 and 2021 were collected. Those included case history, physical examination, laboratory as well as radiological findings.ResultsInflammatory arthritis was diagnosed in 16.4% of studied patients and was significantly more common among patients with PAD-associated enteropathy (OR 13.39, p=0.0001), splenomegaly (OR 6.09, p=0.0001) or atopic diseases (OR 3.31, p=0.021). Given HLA-B27 status, the involvement of the axial skeleton and the presence of features, such as anterior uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis and/or dactylitis, 75% of studied patients fulfilled the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society classification criteria.ConclusionPAD-associated arthritis frequently shares features with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and enteropathic arthritis. The latter may suggest the interconnected pathomechanisms of inflammatory arthritis in SpA and PADs.
Covariant transport equation and gravito-conductivity in generic stationary spacetimes
Authors: Liu Song , Hao Xin , Liu Shaofan , Zhao Liu 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWe find a near detailed balance solution to the relativistic Boltzmann equation under the relaxation time approximation with a collision term which differs from the Anderson–Witting model and is dependent on the stationary observer. Using this new solution, we construct an explicit covariant transport equation for the particle flux in response to the generalized temperature and chemical potential gradients in generic stationary spacetimes, with the transport tensors characterized by some integral functions in the chemical potential and the relativistic coldness. To illustrate the application of the transport equation, we study probe systems in Rindler and Kerr spacetimes and analyze the asymptotic properties of the gravito-conductivity tensor in the near horizon limit. It turns out that both the longitudinal and lateral parts (if present) of the gravito-conductivity tend to be divergent in the near horizon limit. In the weak field limit, our results coincide with the non-relativistic gravitational transport equation which follows from the direct application of the Drude model.

Robotic Vision for Human-Robot Interaction and Collaboration: A Survey and Systematic Review
Authors: Robinson Nicole , Tidd Brendan , Campbell Dylan , Kulić Dana , Corke Peter 
Published: December 2022

Robotic vision, otherwise known as computer vision for robots, is a critical process for robots to collect and interpret detailed information related to human actions, goals, and preferences, enabling robots to provide more useful services to people. This survey and systematic review presents a comprehensive analysis on robotic vision in human-robot interaction and collaboration (HRI/C) over the past 10 years. From a detailed search of 3,850 articles, systematic extraction and evaluation was used to identify and explore 310 papers in depth. These papers described robots with some level of autonomy using robotic vision for locomotion, manipulation, and/or visual communication to collaborate or interact with people. This article provides an in-depth analysis of current trends, common domains, methods and procedures, technical processes, datasets and models, experimental testing, sample populations, performance metrics, and future challenges. Robotic vision was often used in action and gesture recognition, robot movement in human spaces, object handover and collaborative actions, social communication, and learning from demonstration. Few high-impact and novel techniques from the computer vision field had been translated into HRI/C. Overall, notable advancements have been made on how to develop and deploy robots to assist people.
Ministers on Salvation: Soteriological Views of Pioneers and Pastors in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands
Authors: Paas Stefan , Stoppels Sake , Zwijze-Koning Karen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Missiology has always been inspired by soteriology, that is, Christian views of salvation. However, little is known about the actual soteriological beliefs of missionary practitioners. This article is an explorative qualitative study of soteriological beliefs among Dutch Protestant ministers who work in pioneer settings (N=20) and established churches (N=40). Our research shows that, contrary to what might be expected, these two groups (termed ‘pioneers’ and ‘pastors’) are very much alike with regard to their soteriological beliefs. The majority are convinced of the uniqueness of Jesus, and the connection of salvation with God and/or Jesus – even if this salvation is often expressed in immanent terms. Only two differences have been found between pastors and pioneers. Pioneers experience more challenges in communicating the uniqueness of Christianity and they are more likely to have traditional views of ‘eternal lostness’.
Fascination and Action at a Distance in Francis Bacon
Authors: Rusu Doina-Cristina 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Throughout his writings, Francis Bacon shows a great interest in the power of the imagination, both on other minds and on other bodies, a crucial part of natural magic. Convinced of the overall value of magic, Bacon nevertheless takes issue with the corrupt state into which he saw this discipline as having descended, overrun with false theories and invented stories. Bacon’s reform of experimental natural philosophy includes a naturalisation of magic, and this can be best illustrated when we look at his conception of fascination. In this paper, I show that the characteristics of this naturalisation are: (1) the definition of the object of study and the classification of phenomena; (2) the use of models and analogical thinking when the topic under study is difficult to observe; (3) the introduction of measurements and quantification of natural phenomena; (4) the need for replicability and diversification of experiments; and (5) the rejection of explanations in terms of occult qualities and their replacement with explanations in terms of the motion(s) of the spiritual matter emitted from the active body, which is impressed on the motion of the spiritual matter of the passive body.
The Distant Action of the Heavens in Girolamo Borri’s Tidal Theory
Authors: Omodeo Pietro Daniel 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Aristotelian professor of natural philosophy and courtier at the Medici in Florence, Girolamo Borri, developed a theory based on heat to explain the tidal motions of the sea. In his dialogues on this phenomenon, he deemed that tides follow from the ‘moderate’ simmering of the waters as an effect of lunar light. His tidal theory displaced the theory of the Moon’s distant action on terrestrial waters from its traditionally astrological connotation. Moreover, his theory was not ‘empirical’ but rather inserted in a broad natural philosophical and cosmological framework. Although Galileo Galilei later dismissed heat-based explanations of the tides, such explanations are historically relevant as part of the larger scientific picture, in which controversies over the phenomenon of the tides of the sea fuelled cosmological, even post-Copernican assessments of the connection between terrestrial physics and incipient celestial physics.
Explaining Astrological Influence with Cartesian Natural Philosophy: Peter Megerlin’s Manuscript Astrologia Cartesiana (ASHB1530, circa 1680)
Authors: Garau Rodolfo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Action at a distance was one of the key features of astrology. Once a thriving discipline, astrology in the early modern period entered a crisis that ultimately culminated in its marginalization from the domain of scholarly recognition. Critics of astrology took issue, among other things, with the causative process of the supposed astrological action at a distance – traditionally based on the light shed by celestial bodies – denying that light could be a conduit of astrological influence. In response to such criticisms, some astrologers attempted to explain astrological influence based on different theoretical and natural-philosophical foundations, as, for instance, by employing Cartesianism. This paper focuses on the so far-unpublished manuscript Laurenziana ASHB1530, Astrologia Cartesiana, by the German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer Peter Megerlin (1623–1686), a professor in Basel. It shows Megerlin’s eclectic use of Cartesian elements in his treatment of the natural-philosophical bases of astrology, paying particular attention to his attempt to explain astrological influence on corpuscularian grounds. It also contributes to the reconstruction of Megerlin’s biographical and scholarly profile, focusing on the significance of his engagement with Copernican cosmology and astrology in seventeenth-century Basel.
Theorising Affective Habitus in Historical Geographies of Mobilities: Unfolding Spatio-Temporal Modalities
Authors: Christou Anastasia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This essay applies a case study approach to theorise a research agenda for critical explorations of emotions and mobilities centred on three core concepts and key phenomena: affective habitus, spatio-temporal modalities and historical geographies. The analysis offers novel perspectives on the interplay between the affectivity of geographies of social difference and the multiscalar dynamics shaping social relations through mobility. This is demonstrated in how emotions linked to agency provide a generative lens to explore how social relationships and political subjectivities intersect to inform mobile identities/lifeworlds. The case studies offer critical insights of how migrants/refugees/indigenous people in navigating challenging structural conditions can reflect conceptualisations of the mutually constitutive contexts of emotionality and intersectional inequity with indigeneity and (im)mobility. A temporal-historical lens reveals how emotional mobilities are shaped by structural/social dynamics including, but not limited to, trauma and exclusion, historical divisions, cultural identities, border and racialised regimes, intergenerationality. These exemplifications through a case study empirical lens draw from research focusing on indigenous and Palestinian peoples.
Using Ancient Maps to Examine Historical Changes in China’s Territory and Concept of Territory
Authors: Lin Gang 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
When using maps to study China’s historical concept of itself, we find that the research can be divided into two schools: the “Map of the Traces of Yu” (Yu ji tu 禹跡圖) system and the “Unification Map” (yitong tu 一統圖) system. There are also two major classifications for the type of map used: the “China Proper” type and the type that includes the outlying areas. These competing concepts of what constitutes China reflect the different modes of life that have existed alongside each other throughout China’s long history, namely the agrarian and the nomadic lifestyles. The relationship between these two economic modes has alternated between peaceful and hostile and this tumultuous relationship has influenced who are considered “real” Chinese and who are the outsiders. This paper explores the evolution of what is considered China’s territory and what is not.
Do maternal albumin levels affect post-operative complications after cesarean delivery?
Authors: Yagur Yael , Ribak Rachel , Ben Ezry Emili , Cohen Ido , Or Madar Libby , Kovo Michal , Biron-Shental Tal 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
This study explored the correlation between maternal serum albumin levels prior to elective cesarean delivery (CD) and postoperative complications.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study included women admitted for elective CD at term to our tertiary referral center, during the years 2016–2018. Blood samples were collected during the preoperative admission. Information collected included maternal demographics, pregnancy and postoperative complications. Data between patients with preoperative serum albumin levels < 3.3 g/dL or ≥ 3.3 g/dL were compared.

Results
Among 796 women admitted for an elective CD, 537 met the inclusion criteria. There were 250 (46.6%) women in the low albumin level group (< 3.3 g/dL) and 287 (53.4%) with serum albumin level ≥ 3.3 g/dL. Patients with serum albumin ≥ 3.3 g/dL had increased rates of surgical site infection (SSI) (5.6% vs. 1.6% respectively; p = 0.02), need for antibiotics during the post-partum period (10.8% vs 3.2%, respectively; p = 0.001), surgical intervention (2.1% vs. 0%, respectively; p = 0.03) and higher rate of rehospitalization (5.2% vs. 0.4%, respectively; p = 0.001). Multivariant analysis showed that albumin level ≥ 3.3 g/dL was independently associated with composite postoperative adverse maternal outcome.

Conclusions
High serum albumin levels among women undergoing CD, might be associated with abnormal postoperative outcomes. Larger prospective studies, with a heterogenous population are needed to validate these observations.
Association between cardiorrespiratory fitness and cognitive control: is somatic maturity an important mediator?
Authors: Weber Vinícius Muller Reis , da Costa Julio Cesar , Volpato Leonardo Alex , Romanzini Marcelo , Castro-Piñero Jose , Ronque Enio Ricardo Vaz 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Recently some articles presented information related to the possible effect of maturity over the cognitive control and cardiorespiratory fitness, however little is known about the real effects of maturity in the relation of these variables. In this sense, the purpose of this study was to examine the potential mediating role of somatic maturity on the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cognitive control.

Methods
This three-year longitudinal research comprises two data collection groups: a baseline conducted in 2016 with 394 adolescents (aged 11.7 ± 0.6 years) and a follow-up in 2019 with 134 adolescents (aged 14.9 ± 0.7 years). Anthropometry data, 20-m shuttle run test and peak height velocity (PHV) to determine the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and somatic maturity, respectively, were collected at both sampling times. In parallel, the Sociodemographic and cognitive control function variables were included in the follow-up to evaluate the inhibitory control (by the Stroop test) and the visuo-spatial working memory (by the Corsi block-tapping test). Associations between CRF and cognitive functions were computed by multiple linear regression, with mediation as a function of PHV.

Results
CRF exhibited transversal associations with reaction time in congruent (β = -0.004; p = 0.001) and incongruent (β = -0.005; p = 0.004) stimulus-responses. Meanwhile, the variation in VO2max over the three year-study had a significant impact on the reaction time of congruent (β = -0.006; p = 0.001) and incongruent (β = -0.006; p = 0.012) responses at follow-up. However, PHV did not show a significant association with the cognitive functions, indicating no mediating role.

Conclusions
Although the associations between CRF and the cognitive functions exhibited great transversal and longitudinal impacts, somatic maturity did not affect the cognitive control functions, associating exclusively with CRF.
OM-85 BV in pediatric recurrent respiratory tract infections: a cost-utility analysis
Authors: Buendía Jefferson Antonio , Patiño Diana Guerrero , Lindarte Erika Fernanda 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Despite the growing evidence on efficacy, little is known regarding the cost-utility of Vaxom/Imocur (OM-85 BV) supplementation to decrease the probability of recurrent respiratory tract infections in OM-85 BV to reduce the incidence of recurrent respiratory tract infections in children.

Methods
A decision tree model was used to estimate the cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of OM-85 BV in a patient aged 1–6 with a history of recurrent respiratory tract infections. Multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of the model. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated using the willingness-to-pay defined for Colombia of US$5180 per QALY. The time horizon defined was six months. Costs were estimated from a societal perspective.

Results
The expected annual cost per patient with OM-85 BV was US$843 and with placebo was US$1167. The QALYs per person estimated with OM-85 BV was 0.91 and with placebo was 0.89.

Conclusion
In conclusion, our study shows that OM-85 BV is a cost-effective strategy to reduce the incidence of recurrent respiratory tract infections in children. Our study provides evidence that should be used by decision-makers to improve clinical practice guidelines.
Clinical manifestations and prognosis of unexpected uterine sarcoma of uterine fibroids in Tianjin China
Authors: Cheng Guangyan , Hu Yuanjing , Gong Yingying 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Uterine sarcoma is a rare malignancy of women and fewer uterine sarcomas are detected preoperatively. The reported incidence of preoperatively diagnosed uterine sarcoma (PDUS) was 0.07%. This study aims to identify the prevalence of unexpected uterine sarcoma (UUS) after operation for presumed leiomyoma and compare clinical outcomes after primary therapy.

Methods
A retrospective study was performed evaluating all uterine sarcoma diagnosed in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics between May 2011 and July 2016.We used the χ2 and T tests to assess the incidence and clinical features of patients. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to calculate disease-related survival.

Results
The study retrospectively analyzed 6625 patients with uterine fibroids and found 45 UUS patients and 21 patients of PDUS. The incidence of UUS is (45/6625) 0.67%. The incidence of UUS in patients undergoing total hysterectomy was higher undergoing tumor resection (P < 0.001); the age of UUS is younger than PDUS (P = 0.046); the differences in menopausal status and primary complaints between the two groups are not statistically significant. The PDUS group had more patients with Stage II and III sarcomas than the UUS group (P < 0.001); the duration of symptoms in the PDUS group was longer than in the UUS group (P = 0.033). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the UUS group (77.7%) is higher than the PDUS group (46.3%) (P < 0.001).

Conclusions
The incidence of UUS is low. UUS has a younger age of onset, shorter history of the disease, earlier clinical stage, and better prognosis.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
With a population of about 1.1 billion, sub-Saharan Africa is projected to overtake Eastern, Southern and Central Asia to become the most populous region by 2060. One effective approach for slowing this rapid population growth is the use of modern contraception and this may be short-acting or long acting. Previous studies have explored the association between women empowerment indicators contraception use, however, there is limited evidence on how women empowerment indicators associate with type of contraception. Hence the present study investigated the association between women empowerment indicators and type of contraception used by women in 11 sub-Saharan African countries.

Methods
We utilised Demographic and Health Survey data of 22,637 women from 11 countries, collected between 2018 and 2021. The outcome variable was type of contraception used. Descriptive and inferential analyses were executed. The descriptive analysis reflected women empowerment indicators and the proportion of women using contraceptives. Multinomial logistic regression was considered for the inferential analysis. The results for the multinomial logistic regression were presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) along with the respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) signifying precision. The sample weight (wt) was used to account for the complex survey (svy) design. All the analyses were done with Stata version 13 and SPSS version 25.

Results
The study showed that on the average, 15.95% of the women do not use modern contraceptives, whilst 30.67% and 53.38% use long-acting and short-acting contraceptives respectively. The adjusted models showed that women who were working had higher odds of using long-acting (aOR = 1.44, CI 1.28–1.62) and short-acting (aOR = 2.00, CI 1.79–2.24) methods compared with those who were not working. The analysis revealed higher likelihood of long-acting method use among women with high decision-making capacity (aOR = 1.27, CI 1.09–1.47) compared with women with low decision-making capacity. Women with medium knowledge level had a higher likelihood (aOR = 1.54, 1.09–2.17) of using long-acting methods than their counterparts with low knowledge level.

Conclusion
Our findings show that most women in the 11 countries use modern contraceptives, however, different empowerment indicators align with different contraceptive type. It therefore behoves governments of the studied countries to review current interventions and embrace new ones that are more responsive to the peculiar contraception needs of empowered and non-empowered women.
