Many applications, including optical multiplexing, switching, and detection, call for low-cost and broadband photonic devices with polarization-independent operation. While the silicon-on-insulator platform is well positioned to fulfill most of these requirements, its strong birefringence hinders the development of polarization-agnostic devices. Here we leverage the recently proposed bricked metamaterial topology to design, for the first time, to our knowledge, a polarization-independent

multimode interference coupler using standard 220 nm silicon thickness. Our device can be fabricated with a single etch step and is optimized for the O-band, covering a wavelength range of 160 nm with excess loss, polarization-dependent loss, and imbalance below 1 dB and phase errors of less than 5°, as demonstrated with full three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations.

Published: February 2022

Purpose
To evaluate predictors for success in corneal crosslinking (CXL) for keratoconus in a large cohort and extended follow-up.

Design
A retrospective study based on a prospectively built database.

Methods
Participants underwent CXL for keratoconus from 2007 to 2018. Statistical analysis was performed for patients with at least 1-year follow-up. We analyzed effects of CXL type (Epithelium-on or Epithelium-off and Accelerated (9mW/cm2@10min) or Standard (3mW/cm2@30min)) and pre-operative factors including age, gender, baseline LogMAR visual acuity (LogMARpre), maximal corneal power (Kmaxpre), pachymetry, refractive and topographic cylinders, spherical equivalent (SEpre), mean corneal power (MeanK) and follow-up time on outcome measures. The outcome measures were the final change of Kmax (Delta Kmax) and the final change in LogMAR visual acuity (Delta LogMAR). A more negative Delta Kmax or Delta LogMAR represents a favorable effect of crosslinking.

Results
517 eyes had Kmax results, and 385 eyes had LogMAR results with more than one year follow-up. These eyes were included in the study. The mean follow-up time was 2.29 years. Mean Kmax decreased from 54.07±5.99 diopters to 52.84±5.66 diopters (p<0.001), and Mean LogMAR decreased from 0.28±0.20 to 0.25±0.21 (p<0.001). Non-accelerated epithelium-off CXL resulted in greater flattening of Kmax when compared with other protocols. Visual acuity improvement was similar when comparing different CXL protocols. Multivariate analysis showed four factors associated with negative Delta Kmax: high Kmaxpre, high SEpre, high MeanKpre, and non-accelerated procedure. Multivariate analysis showed three factors associated with negative Delta LogMAR: high LogMARpre, high SEpre, and Low MeanKpre. After excluding corneas with Kmaxpre >65 D or Pachymetry<400 microns, multivariate analysis showed that high Kmaxpre, high SEpre, and non-accelerated CXL were associated with negative Delta Kmax while high LogMARpre and high SEpre were associated with negative Delta LogMAR.

Conclusion
CXL for keratoconus is a highly effective treatment, as evident by its effects on the outcome measures: Delta Kmax and Delta LogMAR. CXL was more successful in eyes with high Kmaxpre, high SEpre, and high LogMARpre, which express disease severity. The non-accelerated epithelium-off protocol was associated with greater flattening of corneal curvature but did not show a better effect on visual acuity as compared to the other CXL protocols.
De la Anti-España a la Nueva España: El discurso de las “derechas” en la prensa de Valladolid entre las elecciones del Frente Popular y el estallido de la Guerra Civil
Authors: Gómez Cuesta Cristina 
Published: February 2022

Las elecciones de febrero de 1936 se presentan en la prensa de Valladolid como una jornada histórica y trascendental en la que se enfrentan la España y la Anti-España. Este trabajo analiza la evolución del discurso de las “derechas” desde estas elecciones hasta el comienzo de la guerra en Valladolid, a través de los rotativos con mayor difusión, El Norte de Castilla y Diario Regional. En este territorio donde el socialismo y el falangismo tuvieron una importante implantación, se dan las variables para comprobar qué elementos conformaron la propaganda antes y después del 18 de julio, la politización de la prensa y la adaptación ideológica de las fuerzas en coalición. El rápido dominio de los militares rebeldes anticipa lo sucedido en el conjunto nacional, articulando su discurso en torno a la guerra, la Iglesia y la asistencia social.
Relações entre a participação estudantil na gestão democrática e a aprendizagem escolar: um olhar a partir da Teoria Histórico-Cultural
Authors: Pedro Janaina Artioli João 
Published: February 2022

A pesquisa apresentada neste resumo objetiva explorar as relações entre a participação estudantil na gestão democrática e a aprendizagem escolar. Enquanto referencial teórico-metodológico nos valemos das contribuições da Psicologia histórico-cultural e do método materialista histórico-dialético, cujo movimento orientou e caracterizou a estrutura própria do estudo. Importante destacar que o objeto de estudo pesquisado expresso na tríade participação estudantil, gestão democrática e aprendizagem escolar é resultado de um projeto que precisou ser interrompido em função da deflagração da pandemia da COVID-19 no início de 2020. Diante de tal contexto histórico e de suas repercussões principalmente nas atividades presenciais na escola, tornou-se necessário o encerramento da pesquisa que inicialmente havíamos escolhido e cujas primeiras etapas já havíamos realizado. As experiências obtidas com as primeiras ações na pesquisa intitulada de “Grêmios estudantis e os conflitos no contexto escolar” geraram diversas inquietações, despertando o interesse pela exploração de impactos (ou possíveis impactos) nos processos de aprendizagem escolar a partir do fomento à participação estudantil pela gestão democrática.

Authors: Oliveira Joanna Darc , Rondon Marcos José Cardoso 
Published: February 2022

A pandemia de Covid-19, causada pelo SARS-CoV-2, vem produzindo repercussões de ordem biomédica e epidemiológica, mundialmente. Diante do contexto de lockdown prolongado, do adiamento de consultas médicas e da dispensação de medicamentos sujeitos a controle especial para seis meses, surgiu a preocupação com a adesão ao tratamento de pacientes psiquiátricos. O objetivo do trabalho foi descrever a experiência do uso de ferramenta digital na promoção da adesão aos psicofármacos entre pacientes atendidos pela equipe da Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) São Francisco em Campo Grande – MS, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, no ano de 2021. A USF localiza-se na região norte da cidade, no Distrito Sanitário Segredo, pertencente à Secretaria Municipal de Campo Grande (MS), e ao todo foram mobilizados 210 pacientes adscritos à USF em uso de psicofármacos. No entanto, 190 desses usuários participaram efetivamente do trabalho. Utilizou-se o instrumento digital do Google, que foi formatado para levantar os índices de adesão ao uso diário de psicotrópicos nos meses de fevereiro, março e abril de 2021. A farmacêutica formatou e preencheu o instrumental Google forms com informações de adesão a medicamentos e que também permitiam rastrear o endereço do paciente, a fim de que em tempo hábil pudesse fazer busca ativa desses pacientes para obter a transcrição da receita e dar continuidade aos medicamentos de uso contínuo. A profissional articulou com técnicos, enfermeiros, médicos e agentes comunitários (que visitam o paciente em sua residência), e lançou mão do uso de mídias sociais quando os atendimentos ambulatoriais precisaram ser suspensos. Mensalmente, 36,84% dos pacientes efetivamente contatados tiveram a possibilidade de transcrição da receita. O interfaceamento de várias tecnologias, mesmo em pequena escala, demonstrou que foi possível garantir o uso de psicofármacos para um grupo de indivíduos, contando com a iniciativa e esforço dos profissionais da USF, além do engajamento dos pacientes.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
A water model was adopted to conduct an experimental study on the physical modeling of bubble behaviors and the effects of vessel pressure intensity, nozzle aperture diameter, bottom blowing location and bottom blowing flow rate on bubble properties were analyzed. Experimental results show that with the increase in vessel pressure intensity, the bubble breaking distance is shortened, the size is decreased, the number is increased, the degree of deformation in the rising process becomes smaller, and the fluctuation range of liquid level becomes small; in addition, the diameter of bubbles breaking away from the nozzle decreases. With the increase of bottom blowing aperture diameter, the average diameter of bubbles on the liquid level gets bigger and the number of bubbles decreases; moreover, the size of bubbles breaking away from the nozzle increases, their shape tends to be oval, and the time from bubble formation to bubble breaking is longer. With the increase of bottom blowing flow rate, the bubble breaking distance gets long, the size and number of bubbles increase, the bubble shape tends to be oval, and the impact force on the liquid level becomes larger. The greater the pressure intensity of the vessel, the closer the bottom blowing position is to the center, and the smaller the average diameter of bubbles.

Published: February 2022

AbstractObjectivesReport of clinical data on maternal outcomes, mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome in women infected with COVID-19, as well as clarifying whether the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 could occurin utero(congenital), intrapartum, and/or postnatally through breastmilk, amniotic fluid or cord blood.MethodsRetrospective data collection. Evidence of vertical transmission was assessed by testing for SARS-CoV-2 in amniotic fluid, cord blood, maternal liquor, breast milk and neonatal pharyngeal swab samples.Results8.9% (n=8) of the total population of hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women were admitted to a critical care unit, one (0.9%) needed extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and one woman died (0.9%). The premature birth rate before 34+0 weeks of gestational age of 8.2% (n=8) among pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, was almost four times higher than among the total population of pregnant women in Austria. Two newborns (2%) were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after birth. No SARS-CoV-2 was found in amniotic fluid, cord blood, maternal liquor or breast milk using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).ConclusionsPregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be at a higher risk of invasive ventilation, admission to a critical care unit and pre-term birth and therefore they should be considered as a high-risk population. The risk of congenital or intrapartal infection seems to be insignificant.

Abstract
Considering climate change and high population increase, the conversion of natural habitats into arable land is rising at an alarming rate in the Ethiopian highlands. The impact on the diversity of rodents and shrews is difficult to measure since historical data are often unavailable. However, the relative effects of such land-use changes could be contemplated by comparing with data from similar natural habitats in adjacent areas. Between October to November 2018, we randomly setup 20 infrared camera traps in wheat fields located near Mount Guna at about 3350 m elevation, as part of a large research project investigating the efficacy of rodent repellent botanicals. We recorded six rodent species (Arvicanthis abyssinicus, Dendromus lovati, Dendromus mystacalis, Hystrix cristata, Mus mahomet and Stenocephalemys albipes) and two shrew species (Crocidura cf. baileyi and Crocidura olivieri). A. abyssinicus, H. cristata and S. albipes are known to occur in agricultural fields. D. lovati was recorded from anthropogenic habitat for the first time in this study. The species has been described as rare or difficult to capture with conventional traps. We call for rigorous biodiversity studies and conservation measures in agroecosystems in the Ethiopian highlands to avert further losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services.

“Metamorphic Liberation”: Radical Self-Care and the Biopolitical Agency of Black Women
Authors: Ward Mako Fitts 
Published: February 2022

The Black Radical Tradition has always captured the fluidity of life, death, and the afterlife of sustained modes of repression that propel Black bodies into hypervisible spectacles of existence. Using what Viviane Saleh-Hanna calls a “Black Feminist Hauntology,” this article draws from work on the temporality of white terrorism, necropolitical social movements, and Black violability to frame Black women’s biopolitical agency in ways that capture what our lives could be post-COVID and amid a resurgence of movements for Black lives. Bridging the poeticism of Black feminist writers such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and Sonya Renee Taylor, I argue that the movement for radical self-care, interpreted from a necropolitical discursive frame, offers the possibilities for what Saleh-Hanna calls “metamorphic liberation.” The article explores the movement’s foundations inside the Black feminist commons as an important site for support and healing during the multiple pandemics of 2020.
Specificities of the science of educational rehabilitation in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Bouillet Dejana 
Published: February 2022

Scientific journals are amongst the most important sources of information regarding the status, content and other relevant characteristics of educational rehabilitation. A content analysis of scientific journals in an area illuminates its main trends and development. This work seeks to analyse basic trademarks of educational rehabilitation practice in countries from Central and Eastern Europe, specifically 15 post-socialist countries which have, during the 1990s, seen substantial political and social changes. This research includes 4 scientific journals in which educational rehabilitation scientists have published most of the existing scientific work during the period from 2008 to 2016. These are: Croatian Review of Rehabilitation Research, Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation, Research in Developmental Disabilities and Special Education. This research is based on an analysis of 273 published abstracts, by means of quantitative content analysis.
The main hypothesis was that educational rehabilitation science in European post-socialist countries has recognisable content and method, with the primary purpose of developing scientifically verified interventions. These contribute to the promotion of developmental, educational and social status for people with various difficulties. Such a hypothesis has been partially confirmed. It was established that there is recognisable content and method, but the predominance of scientifically verified interventions has not been established. The science of educational rehabilitation is primarily characterised by themes of specific abilities of a certain group of people with disabilities. This includes an analysis of the efficiency of various interventative methods being present in one third of the publications. In conclusion, the results of this research indicate the need for further improvement of scientific activities within the science of educational rehabilitation in Central and Eastern Europe, both in diversity of the scientific methodology and regarding a focus on the interventions themselves (including evaluation, but also the theoretical basis regarding their meaningfulness).
Investigation of multidrug-resistant Helicobacter pylori in pediatric patients: A Bulgarian study and literature data
Authors: Boyanova Lyudmila , Hadzhiyski Petyo , Markovska Rumyana , Gergova Raina 
Published: February 2022

AbstractAntibiotic resistance ofHelicobacter pyloristrains from 106 symptomatic children was evaluated according to EUCAST breakpoints and rate of multidrug resistance (MDR) was analyzed. Overall resistance rates were amoxicillin 7.5%, metronidazole 25.5%, clarithromycin 34.0% and ciprofloxacin 14.1%. There were no significant differences in resistance rates according to patients' age (2–6 and 7–18 years) and sex. Combined resistance rate was 19.8%, including double, triple, and quadruple resistance in 13.2% (14 strains), 5.7% (6) and 0.9% (1) of the strains, respectively. MDR was found in 5.9% (5/84) of the children with gastritis and in two of the four children with celiac disease. The MDR was present in three children aged 4–6 years and in four children aged 10–17 years. The total MDR rate (6.6%) in Bulgarian children in 2012–2021 was higher than those in other studies based on EUCAST breakpoints such as those in pediatric patients in Slovenia in 2011–2014 (3.8%), Lithuania in 2013–2015 (0%) and Spain in 2014–2019 (0%), although being lower than those (20.7% in the untreated and 47.0% in the treated children) in China in 2019. In brief, it is of concern that MDR can strongly limit the choice ofH. pyloritherapy of one out of fifteen Bulgarian children and that overall resistance to both metronidazole and clarithromycin can hinder the treatment of 15.1% of the pediatric patients. Susceptibility-guided tailored eradication therapy ofH. pyloriinfection should be more frequently implemented in the symptomatic children to avoid risks of both the infection itself and multiple antibiotic treatments.
ARE WOMEN AWARE OF THE VACCINE AGAINST HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS? A HOSPITAL-FOCUSED CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: TÜRKER Ülkü Ayşe , ÇATAK Binali 
Published: February 2022

Objective
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent
of cervical cancer. However, the disease can be
prevented by vaccination. In this study, we aimed to
evaluate the level of knowledge about HPV vaccination
among women who applied to gynecology outpatient
clinics in Kars, Turkey.
Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study included women who were
admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinics of Kars
Harakani State Hospital in December 2020. Overall,
380 women were included in the study, and they were
asked if they knew about the existence of the HPV
vaccine.
Results
We observed that the risk of being uninformed about
the HPV vaccine increased by 4.013 times in women
aged
