ESSENTIAL OILS AS THERAPEUTIC AND PROPHYLACTIC AGENTS AND FEED ADDITIVES FOR AQUACULTURE (REVIEW)
Authors: Pakhomov Viktor I. , Braginets Sergey V. , Bakhchevnikov Oleg N. 
Published: November 2022

Purpose. Generalization and analysis of articles concerning the use of essential oils as components of aquaculture feeds and disinfectants to obtain information about the technology of their preparation and use as well as about their influence to the quality of fish feeds and their health.
Materials and methods. A selection and systematic review of scientific literature on the research topic for the period 2011-2021 was carried out. Keyword searches were performed in bibliographic databases to select scientific articles.
Results. Essential oils can be used in aquaculture as an effective treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, to control parasites, to improve the health of fish as immunostimulants, antioxidants and growth stimulants. But most of the studies were based on in vitro tests or were carried out under laboratory conditions, so their results need to be clarified under production conditions. It also needs to be established precisely which active substances in essential oils are responsible for their therapeutic effect. The active application of essential oils in aquaculture is hampered by their insufficient stability during feed preparation, storage and passage through the gastrointestinal tract of fish. Microencapsulation technology is recommended to overcome this disadvantage.
Conclusion. The use of essential oils as therapeutic and prophylactic agents and feed additives is a promising strategy to reduce the use of traditional synthetic drugs in aquaculture. To effectively use foreign scientific results in Russian aquaculture, it is necessary to conduct research on replacement of essential oils obtained from exotic plants with oils from plants cultivated in our country based on the similarity of their composition.
The psychological, psychosocial and emotional wellbeing of children and young people with leukaemia
Authors: Dinsmore Emma , Rosengarten Leah 
Published: November 2022

Background: Leukaemia is the most common childhood cancer, and with the success of current treatment, it has an overall survival rate of up to 92%. Despite this, treatment does not come without consequences. As a result, it is no surprise that recent research has examined the long-term implications of this treatment. Methods: An integrative review was conducted to capture a broad range of primary research studies from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Four electronic databases were searched, displaying 3239 articles, of which nine met all the inclusion criteria. This integrative review explores these studies, using thematic analysis, with the purpose of identifying the impact this disease has on the psychological, psychosocial and emotional wellbeing of children and young people (CYP) diagnosed with leukaemia. Results: The review highlighted the vast impact that a leukaemia diagnosis can have on CYP and five main trends emerged: experienced emotions; relationships with peers; relationships with family; academic challenges; and differentiating factors. Discussion: As a result of the findings, it is recommended that CYP receive psychological support from diagnosis, with a regular reassessment throughout treatment. Parents and carers require support to enable them to efficiently care for their children. It is evident from this review that further research in this area would be beneficial to address some gaps in the literature.

Published: November 2022

Introduction Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease affects 10–20% of the population, and laparoscopic fundoplication is one management option. As the most frequently accessed video-sharing website, YouTube has become a popular source of information for patients. This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the quality and demographics of patient education videos available on YouTube for laparoscopic fundoplication. Methods Three searches were performed on YouTube using the phrases ‘laparoscopic fundoplication’, ‘heartburn surgery’ and ‘reflux operation’. The Health on The Net (HON) code, DISCERN and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) systems were used to score the first 75 results from each query. Information about each video was collected, including number of views, time since posting, number of comments and the author of the video. Relationships between these variables and video quality were investigated. Results The median number of views was 3,793. The most common author category was videos produced by surgeons. Overall the quality was poor, mean HON score was 2.5/8, mean DISCERN score was 29.3/80 and mean JAMA score was 1.5/4. Surgeon-authored videos scored higher when scored using the HON and JAMA systems. Videos of longer duration scored higher using all three scoring systems. No other factors were found to be associated with video quality. Conclusion The quality of information in YouTube videos on laparoscopic fundoplication is unreliable. Doctors should be aware of this and caution their patients of YouTube’s limitations. Further research is needed to develop validated scoring systems for evaluating the quality of patient education videos.

Published: November 2022

Diffuse optics (DO) is a light-based technique used to study the human brain, but it suffers from low brain specificity. Interferometric diffuse optics (iDO) promises to improve the quantitative accuracy and depth specificity of DO, and particularly, coherent light fluctuations (CLFs) arising from blood flow. iDO techniques have alternatively achieved either time-of-flight (TOF) discrimination or highly parallel detection, but not both at once. Here, we break this barrier with a single iDO instrument. Specifically, we show that rapid tuning of a temporally coherent laser during the sensor integration time increases the effective linewidth seen by a highly parallel interferometer. Using this concept to create a continuously variable and user-specified TOF filter, we demonstrate a solution to the canonical problem of DO, measuring optical properties. Then, with a deep TOF filter, we reduce scalp sensitivity of CLFs by 2.7 times at 1 cm source-collector separation. With this unique combination of desirable features, i.e., TOF-discrimination, spatial localization, and highly parallel CLF detection, we perform multiparametric imaging of light intensities and CLFs via the human forehead.
Manipulating propagation and evolution of polarization singularities in composite Bessel-like fields

Published: November 2022

Structured optical fields embedded with polarization singularities (PSs) have attracted extensive attention due to their capability to retain topological invariance during propagation. Many advances in PS research have been made over the past 20 years in the areas of mathematical description, generation and detection technologies, propagation dynamics, and applications. However, one of the most crucial and difficult tasks continues to be manipulating PSs with multiple degrees of freedom, especially in three-dimensional (3D) tailored optical fields. We propose and demonstrate the longitudinal PS lines obtained by superimposing Bessel-like modes with orthogonal polarization states on composite vector optical fields (VOFs). The embedded PSs in the fields can be manipulated to propagate robustly along arbitrary trajectories, or to annihilate, revive, and transform each other at on-demand positions in 3D space, allowing complex PS’ topological morphology and intensity patterns to be flexibly customized. Our findings could spur further research into singular optics and help with applications such as micromanipulation, microstructure fabrication, and optical encryption.
Independent evaluation of Wolbachia infected male mosquito releases for control of Aedes aegypti in Harris County, Texas, using a Bayesian abundance estimator

Published: November 2022

Among disease vectors,Aedes aegypti(L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the most insidious species in the world. The disease burden created by this species has dramatically increased in the past 50 years, and during this time countries have relied on pesticides for control and prevention of viruses borne byAe.aegypti. The small number of available insecticides with different modes of action had led to increases in insecticide resistance, thus, strategies, like the “Incompatible Insect Technique” usingWolbachia’s cytoplasmic incompatibility are desirable.We evaluated the effect of releases ofWolbachiainfectedAe.aegyptimales on populations of wildAe.aegyptiin the metropolitan area of Houston, TX. Releases were conducted by the company MosquitoMate, Inc. To estimate mosquito population reduction, we used a mosquito abundance Bayesian hierarchical estimator that accounted for inefficient trapping. MosquitoMate previously reported a reduction of 78% for an intervention conducted in Miami, FL. In this experiment we found a reduction of 93% with 95% credibility intervals of 86% and 96% after six weeks of continual releases. A similar result was reported by Verily Life Sciences, 96% [94%, 97%], in releases made in Fresno, CA.
Štěstí – proč se jím zabývat a jak ho měřit u učitelů základních škol?
Authors: Pivarč Jakub 
Published: November 2022

Jednou z klíčových podmínek pro zajištění kvalitní výuky je, aby ve školách působili šťastní a spokojení učitelé. Tato studie si kladla za cíl konceptualizovat základní východiska štěstí a adaptovat zahraniční nástroje, jejichž prostřednictvím je možné konstrukt spolehlivě měřit, pro účely použití u učitelů v českém prostředí. Subjektivní míra štěstí byla v této studii zjišťována na dostupném vzorku 604 učitelů základních škol. Těm byla administrována zkrácena osmipoložková verze Oxfordského dotazníku štěstí a čtyřpoložková Škála subjektivního štěstí, a to počátkem roku 2020 (před plošným uzavřením škol z důvodu pandemické situace způsobené virem SARS-CoV-2). Výsledky psychometrických analýz potvrdily pro oba testované nástroje předpokládanou jednofaktorovou strukturu, kriteriální validitu a vysokou vnitřní konzistenci. Víceskupinovou konfirmační faktorovou analýzou bylo také prokázáno, že u obou českých verzí dotazníků bylo dosaženo plné striktní invariance měření pro srovnávané skupiny učitelů z hlediska stupně, na kterém deklarovali výuku. Dále se ukázalo, že učitelé základních škol dosahovali relativně vysokých hodnot skóru na obou testovaných škálách, přičemž jen nepatrně vyšší míru štěstí deklarovali učitelé z 1. stupně v porovnání se svými kolegy z 2. stupně. Limity studie, podněty pro budoucí výzkumy a další využití testovaných nástrojů, které lze doporučit jak pro výzkumné účely, tak pro účely pedagogické diagnostiky v praxi, jsou diskutovány.
Inkluzivní vzdělávání na plně organizovaných základních školách
Authors: Vítová Jitka , Wolf Janet , Skutil Martin , Maněnová Martina 
Published: November 2022

Cílem studie je zmapovat inkluzivní přístupy plně organizovaných škol, na kterých studenti učitelství plní pedagogické praxe. Tyto školy přijímají na pedagogické praxe studenty programu Učitelství pro 1. stupeň ZŠ.
Metody: Na základě analýzy dostupných nástrojů byl použit český překlad mezinárodně uznávaného ukazatele inkluze od autorů Booth a Ainscow (2007). Pro šetření byl využit pozorovací arch č. 1, který může být použit i externím nezávislým pozorovatelem. Jako pozorovatelé působili zaškolení studenti učitelství 1. stupně ZŠ druhého až pátého ročníku, kteří ve spolupracujících školách vykonávali dlouhodobou praxi. Výzkumný soubor činí 139 plně organizovaných škol.
Výsledky: Na základě získaných výsledků lze konstatovat, že většina škol, kam docházejí studenti na praxi, započala více či méně inkluzivní proces a nadále se snaží o jeho rozvoj. Pouze dvě školy získaly hodnocení pod 20 % celkového počtu bodů. Jedná se o školy, které získaly nízké hodnocení ve všech třech oblastech, tj. budování inkluzivní kultury, inkluzivní politika školy i rozvoj inkluzivní praxe. Naopak osm škol dosáhlo nadprůměrný výsledek ve všech třech oblastech.
Závěry: Z výsledků vyplývá, že nemalý počet škol studenti hodnotili z pohledu realizace inkluzivního vzdělávání negativně, a je proto otázkou, zdali s těmito školami má být vedena spolupráce při praktické pedagogické přípravě budoucích učitelů.

Additional niches and architecture added in the Tang dynasty to the Vairocana niche in the Fengxian Temple at Longmen
Authors: Peng Minghao , Li Ruoshui 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The niche with the colossal statue of Vairocana Buddha in the Fengxian Temple in Longmen was carved in the second year of the Shangyuan reign period of the Tang dynasty. At the beginning of the Kaiyuan reign, additional niches were carved into the same cliff wall. Based on spatial analysis of the surviving holes for architectural structures and their relation to the niches added later, it is inferred that the architecture in front of the niche was not built after the construction of these later niches. These two construction events could have belonged to the same construction phase. The construction of the architecture in front of the Vairocana niche completely altered the outer appearance and visibility of the statues, which then resulted in the relocation of worship activities from the open area to an enclosed space created by the wooden-structured temple in front of the niche.
民国时期印尼华文小学课程设置的本地化研究
Authors: 锦恩 于 
Published: November 2022

摘要
印度尼西亚的华文教育在 1920 年代到 1930 年代曾经对小学阶段的课程采取了一系列的本地化措施，但是因为面向祖国的办学方针始终根深蒂固，所以导致横向上配合不够，纵向上连接失调，学生不能学以致用，没有为华人学子奠定坚实的谋生基础。华文小学理想的本地化课程配置应该坚持三个面向：面向祖国，面向居留地，面向学子谋生。在课程设置本地化的具体过程中，应该始终固守以汉语汉字为标志的中华文化传承。为了最大限度地实现顺畅交际，除了学习汉语标准语，还要学习当地比较流行的汉语方言、本地土语及官方语言;配合相关的语言学习，实用的谋生技能的学习也要协调推进，同时，体现本地风土文化的内容不可或缺。
Public Nuisance is a Tort
Authors: Bullock David 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In a well-known article, Thomas Merrill posed the question “Is Public Nuisance a Tort?”, ultimately answering the question in the negative: “public nuisance is not, and never was, a tort.” This article reaches a different answer to Merrill’s question. It argues that Merrill was wrong to conclude that the characterisation of public nuisance as tort was a recent invention and that public nuisance claims are not privately actionable by individual plaintiffs. The article presents a defence of the private action for public nuisance and concludes, on both an historical and a theoretical account, that public nuisance has long been understood as a tort at common law, and for good reason.
Exceptional points at bound states in the continuum in photonic integrated circuits
Authors: Qin Haoye , Shi Xiaodong , Ou Haiyan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We propose the realization of exceptional points (EP) at bound states in the continuum (BIC), with two coupled strips, made of an electron-beam resist and patterned on the thin film photonic integrated platform, which makes possible etchless photonics integrated circuits (PIC). The loss rate of the EP can be significantly decreased through merging the BIC peaks in the dual-BIC scheme. The orthogonality of the eigenvectors is retrieved for evaluating the Hermitian orthogonal eigenvectors and the non-Hermitian EP features. We also find that engineering the dimension of the dual-BIC scheme enables a transition between the coalesced eigenvectors in the EP and the orthogonal eigenvectors in the Hermitian system. This work is of great significance for the exploration on BIC-based directional coupling with ultralow-loss phase matching conditions, special coupling conditions of EPs and BICs with coupled quasi-BIC systems, dynamical EP encircling, and EP topology, in PICs.

Du Flâneur au traceur: playful bodies in urban spaces
Authors: Thibault Mattia , Tarasti Eero 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper investigates how play practices affect players’ relationships with the urban environment through the bodily movement and performances that characterize them. Building on a definition of playful behavior derived by semiotics of culture, we investigate urban play from the perspective of motor praxology to outline how movement is central for the experience of the players. We then concentrate on the role of semiotic valorizations in different urban contexts, notably the famous typology of Metro users by Floch and different kinds of ludic mobility. Finally, we combine these two perspectives with the zemic model realized within existential semiotics in order to create a typology or urban players as well as urban playful enunciation modes.
De NovoBrain-Computer Interfacing Deforms Manifold of Populational Neural Activity Patterns in Human Cerebral Cortex
Authors: Iwama Seitaro , Zhang Yichi , Ushiba Junichi 
Published: November 2022

AbstractHuman brains are capable of modulating innate activities to adapt to novel environments and tasks; for sensorimotor neural system this means acquisition of a rich repertoire of activity patterns that improve behavioral performance. To directly map the process of acquiring the neural repertoire during tasks onto performance improvement, we analyzed net neural populational activity during the learning of its voluntary modulation by brain-computer interface (BCI) operation in female and male humans. The recorded whole-head high-density scalp electroencephalograms (EEGs) were subjected to dimensionality reduction algorithm to capture changes in cortical activity patterns represented by the synchronization of neuronal oscillations during adaptation. Although the preserved variance of targeted features in the reduced dimensions was 20%, we found systematic interactions between the activity patterns and BCI classifiers that detected motor attempt; the neural manifold derived in the embedded space was stretched along with motor-related features of EEG by model-based fixed classifiers but not with adaptive classifiers that were constantly recalibrated to user activity. Moreover, the manifold was deformed to be orthogonal to the boundary byde novoclassifiers with a fixed decision boundary based on biologically unnatural features. Collectively, the flexibility of human cortical signaling patterns (i.e., neural plasticity) is only induced by operation of a BCI whose classifier required fixed activities, and the adaptation could be induced even the requirement is not consistent with biologically natural responses. These principles of neural adaptation at a macroscopic level may underlie the ability of humans to learn wide-ranging behavioral repertoires and adapt to novel environments.
Angular Tuning Properties of Low Threshold Mechanoreceptors in Isolated Rat Whisker Hair Follicles
Authors: Yamada Akihiro , Furue Hidemasa , Gu Jianguo G. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAngular tuning is preferential sensory response to a directional stimulus and is observed in the whisker tactile system. In whisker hair follicles, there are at least three types of low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs): rapidly adapting (RA), slowly adapting type 1 (SA1), and slowly adapting type 2 (SA2). These LTMRs display angular tuning but their properties remain incompletely studied. Here, we used isolated rat whisker hair follicles and pressure-clamped single-fiber recordings to study angular tuning of these LTMRs. Angular tuning was determined with impulses elicited by ramp-and-hold deflection of whisker hair in 24 directions each at 15° for a total of 360°. We show that RA display impulses during ramp-up, both ramp-up and ramp-down, or ramp-down dynamic phases. Both SA1 and SA2 respond to angular stimuli with slowly adapting impulses in most angles. However, SA1 and SA2 show rapidly adapting responses in other angles. All the three types of LTMRs display strong angular tuning, and there is no significant difference in angular tuning index among them. Population wise, the majority of SA1 are tuned in the caudal direction, a large part of SA2 is tuned in the rostral direction, and RAs are tuned in multiple directions. In the angles showing strong tuning, the three LTMRs respond to increased stimulation amplitudes with increased impulse numbers in a hyperbola relationship, and the responsiveness based on impulse numbers is SA2 > SA1 > RA. Our findings provide new information on angular tuning properties of LTMRs in whisker hair follicles and help to understand directional encoding.
