Published: August 2022

AbstractNeuromuscular fatigue tests have been used in previous studies to organize post-match training programs and to minimize injuries. The aim of this study is to describe the neuromuscular fatigue that occurs after a football match and to examine the relationship between internal and external load values in the match and fatigue parameters obtained at different time intervals. Twenty male U19 academy league soccer players (age: 19; height: 181.3 ± 4.3; weight: 73.4 ± 6.7) participated in the study. The countermovement jump (CMJ) test was applied to the players 24 h before, as well as 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h after a football match. During the CMJ tests, the maximum velocity of each player during the jump was recorded by using the GymAware linear position transducer. The CMJ maximum velocity values 24 h before and 24 h after the match, as well as the CMJ height values (Cohen’s d: 1.210; p < 0.001), were statistically different from the values recorded 24 h before and 24 and 48 h after the match (Cohen’s d: 1.578; p < 0.001; Cohen’s d: 0,922; p < 0.009). The correlation values were not statistically significant. The results suggest, CMJ height and CMJ maximum velocity values, which determine neuromuscular fatigue after a football match, can be used by practitioners to display post-match neuromuscular fatigue measurements.

AbstractIt is challenging to quantitatively clarify the determining medical and social factors of COVID-19 mortality, which varied by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude across countries. Here, we present evidence that the temporal evolution of mortality follows a logistic law for 54 countries in four waves. A universal linear law is found between the early mortality growth time and the epidemic duration, one of the most important quantities, with a factor of 7.3 confirmed by data. Saturation mortality is found to have a power law relationship with median age and bed occupancy, which quantitatively explains the great variation in mortality based on the two key thresholds of median age (= 38) and bed occupancy (= 22%). We predict that deaths will be reduced by 38.5% when the number of beds is doubled for countries with older populations. Facing the next wave of the epidemic, this model can make early predictions on the epidemic duration and hospital bed demand.

AbstractM1 macrophages secrete a large number of proinflammatory factors and promote the expansion of atherosclerotic plaques and processes. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) exerts anti-inflammatory, antitumor and other effects, but no study has addressed whether Sal B can regulate the polarization of macrophages to exert these anti-atherosclerotic effects. Therefore, we investigated the inhibition of Sal B in M1 macrophage polarization and the underlying mechanism. The effects of different treatments on cell viability, gene expression and secretion of related proteins, phenotypic markers and cytokines were detected by MTT and western blot assays, RT‒qPCR and ELISAs. Cell viability was not significantly changed when the concentration of Sal B was less than 200 μM, and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100 ng/mL) + interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (2.5 ng/mL) successfully induced M1 polarization. RT‒qPCR and ELISAs indicated that Sal B can downregulate M1 marker (Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6)) and upregulate M2 marker (Arginase-1 (Arg-1) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10)) expression. Western blotting was performed to measure the expression of Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB), p-Akt, p-mTOR, LC3-II, Beclin-1, and p62, and the results suggested that Sal B inhibits the M1 polarization of RAW264.7 macrophages by promoting autophagy via the NF-κB signalling pathway. The study indicated that Sal B inhibits M1 macrophage polarization by inhibiting NF-κB signalling pathway activation and downregulating Akt/mTOR activation to promote autophagy.
Progressive Tinnitus Management Level 3 Skills Education: A 10-Year Clinical Retrospective
Authors: Edmonds Catherine M. , Clark Khaya D. , Thielman Emily J. , Henry James A. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to examine progressive tinnitus management (PTM) Level 3 skill utilization among Veterans in the Bay Pines Veterans Affairs Healthcare System 6–10 years after completing the PTM workshops.

Method:
In fiscal year 2020, the Tinnitus Workshop Follow-Up form was mailed to Veterans who completed the workshops during fiscal years 2010–2014. Veterans were identified as receiving care via the traditional face-to-face method or clinical video telehealth (CVT). Data were compiled to determine which, if any, PTM skills were being used 6–10 years later and the impact on self-reported ratings of well-being.

Results:
More than half of the respondents reported using all four self-management skills up to 10 years postcompletion; relaxation was utilized by more Veterans than the other three skills. Approximately 69% reported improved ability to control reactions to tinnitus. At least half reported ratings of improved well-being. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents said they would recommend the workshops to someone with bothersome tinnitus. Veterans who received care via CVT reported using fewer skills than those who received care face-to-face; however, the CVT respondents reported the same or slightly better ability to cope with tinnitus, less bothersome tinnitus, and improved ratings of well-being. Finally, most participants who responded to an open-ended question about their workshop experience reported it as positive.

Conclusions:
This clinical focus project suggests that PTM Level 3 skills continue to be utilized up to 10 years after participation in the workshops. Although there were reductions in the number of skills used, Veterans' ability to manage reactions to tinnitus and improvement in self-reported ratings of well-being indicate successful ongoing tinnitus management efforts. Respondents who received care via CVT did not report lower self-reported ratings of well-being or appear less likely to recommend Level 3 group PTM to other Veterans with bothersome tinnitus.

Published: August 2022

AbstractTo satisfy the requirements of social power development, it is urgently necessary to develop innovative and sustainable new energy storage devices. Supercapacitors have attracted considerable attention as a new type of energy storage device, owing to their high energy density, high power density, fast charging and discharging speeds, and long cycle life. The electrode material is an important factor in determining the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. In recent years, researchers explored the application of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives as electrode materials for supercapacitors. In this paper, the preparation of monometallic, bimetallic, and conductive MOFs, and their derivatives for application in supercapacitors are reviewed. In addition, challenges facing MOFs in the field of supercapacitors and their future development prospects are discussed.
Multi‐objective optimisation design of a suspension‐guided permanent magnet synchronous linear motor for ropeless elevator

Published: August 2022

AbstractIn this article, a suspension‐guided permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (SG‐PMSLM) for ropeless elevator is proposed, which can meet the requirements of high thrust and high thrust density for ropeless elevator, and reduce vibration noise and wheel‐rail wear during motor operation. The structure, working principle and electromagnetic characteristics of SG‐PMSLM are analysed. In order to improve the overall performance of SG‐PMSLM, this article aims at improving the average thrust and thrust density, reducing the thrust fluctuation of SG‐PMSLM. Firstly, the sensitivity analysis of the key structural parameters of SG‐PMSLM is conducted, and the parameters that have significant influence on the three optimisation objectives are selected as the optimisation variables. Secondly, the response surface model of three optimisation objectives is built, and the Particle Swarm Optimisation algorithm is combined to conduct the multi‐objective optimisation design for SG‐PMSLM. Thirdly, the optimised solution set is obtained for three objectives. Finite Element Analysis is used to verify that the optimised solution set has better diversity and can effectively improve SG‐PMSLM overall performance compared with the initial design. Finally, the electromagnetic performance of SG‐PMSLM is verified by experiments.
Coordinated decentralized and centralized microgrid control for distributed renewable energy sources with integrated batteries
Authors: Ngamroo Issarachai , Surinkaew Tossaporn 
Published: August 2022

AbstractRenewable energy sources (RESs) with integrated batteries (IBESSs) in microgrid (MGs) have well been developed by aggregate models in previous research works. Either decentralized or centralized control is applied as a standard platform to manage the aggregate models. However, these may not be valid assumptions in practical MGs, which consist of various distributed RESs with IBESSs and control platforms. As a result, controllers designed for the aggregate models may be ineffective, when they are applied for distributed models in actual MGs. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes a coordinated decentralized and centralized MG control strategy of distributed RESs and IBESSs (DIBESSs). New modellings of the distributed RESs with DIBESSs are developed here so that appropriate controllers can be designed to manage voltage and frequency of a MG. An adaptive‐robust approach is applied to achieve flexible control performance of the RESs with DIBESSs against MG uncertainties, operating points, and conditions. Comparative analyses of the conventional, aggregate, and distributed models are made. Simulation results in an inertia‐less microgrid with 100% RESs verify the capability of the proposed control strategy for the distributed models.
Statistical analysis of in‐flight drone signatures
Authors: Markow John , Balleri Alessio , Catherall Aled 
Published: August 2022

AbstractDrone‐monitoring radars typically integrate many pulses in order to improve signal to noise ratio and enable high detection performance. Over the course of this coherent processing interval (CPI), many components of the drone signature change and the signature's amplitude and Doppler modulations may hinder coherent integration performance, even in the absence of range‐Doppler cell migrations. A statistical characterisation of these fluctuations aides radar designers in selecting optimal CPI lengths. This paper presents a statistical analysis of experimental data of nine flying drones, collected with a frequency modulated continuous wave Ku‐band radar, and examines the statistical features of the amplitude fluctuations of the drone body and blades as well as the signature decorrelation time. The method of moments is used to estimate the probability density function parameters of different drone spectral components with the aim of informing the development of improved theory for predicting drone signatures and ultimately increasing detection performance. Results show that, on average, the Weibull distribution provided the best mean square error fit to the data for most drone spectral components and drone types, with the Rayleigh distribution being the next best match. These results were further corroborated by a study of detection performance for a fluctuating target. Whilst decorrelation times of the various signatures varied significantly, even for the same drone, results show that an approximate inverse relationship between drone spectral component bandwidth and decorrelation time held, with individual spectral lines decorrelating after tens to hundreds of msec.
A bottom-up search for Lyman-continuum leakage in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
Authors: Rivera-Thorsen T. E. , Hayes M. , Melinder J. 
Published: August 2022

Context. When studying the production and escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) from galaxies, it is standard to rely on an array of indirect observational tracers in the preselection of candidate leakers.
Aims. In this work, we investigate how much ionizing radiation might be missed due to these selection criteria by completely removing them and performing a search selected purely from rest-frame LyC emission; and how that affects our estimates of the ionizing background.
Methods. We inverted the conventional method and performed a bottom-up search for LyC leaking galaxies at redshifts 2 ≲ z ≲ 3.5. Using archival data from HST and VLT/MUSE, we ran source finding software on UV-filter HST images from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), and subjected all detected sources to a series of tests to eliminate those that are inconsistent with being ionizing sources.
Results. We find six new and one previously identified candidate leakers with absolute escape fractions ranging from 36% to ∼100%. Our filtering criteria eliminate one object previously reported as a candidate ionizing emitter in the literature, and we report non-detections in the rest-frame Lyman continuum of two other previously reported sources. We find that our candidates make a contribution to the metagalactic ionizing field of log10(ϵν) = 25.32−0.21+0.25 and 25.29−0.22+0.27 erg s−1 Hz−1 cMpc−3 for the full set of candidates and for the four strongest candidates only; both values are higher than but consistent with other recent figures in the literature.
Conclusions. Our findings suggest that galaxies that do not meet the usual selection criteria may make a non-negligible contribution to the cosmic ionizing field. We recommend that similar searches be carried out on a larger scale in well-studied fields with both UV and large ancillary data coverage, for example in the full set of CANDELS fields.
Pyrolysis of mass-selected (V2O5)NO− (N = 1–6) clusters in a high-temperature linear ion trap reactor

Published: August 2022

A high-temperature linear ion trap that can stably run up to 873 K was newly designed and installed into a homemade reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser ablation cluster source and a quadrupole mass filter. The instrument was used to study the pyrolysis behavior of mass-selected (V2O5) NO− ( N = 1–6) cluster anions and the dissociation channels were clarified with atomistic precision. Similar to the dissociation behavior of the heated metal oxide cluster cations reported in literature, the desorption of either atomic oxygen atom or molecular O2 prevailed for the (V2O5) NO− clusters with N = 2–5 at 873 K. However, novel dissociation channels involving fragmentation of (V2O5) NO− to small-sized V xO y− anions concurrent with the release of neutral vanadium oxide species were identified for the clusters with N = 3–6. Significant variations in branching ratios for different dissociation channels were observed as a function of cluster size. Kinetic studies indicated that the dissociation rates of (V2O5) NO− monotonically increased with the increase in cluster size. The internal energies carried by the (V2O5) NO− clusters at 873 K as well as the energetics data for dissociation channels have been theoretically calculated to rationalize the experimental observations. The decomposition behavior of vanadium oxide clusters from this study can provide new insights into the pyrolysis mechanism of metal oxide nanoparticles that are widely used in high temperature catalysis.
Visual metaphor in extended conceptual metaphor theory*
Authors: Kövecses Zoltán 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
My goal in the chapter is to examine a variety of visual experiences that appear to evoke visual metaphors. This is a range of experience types that extends from “sign-like” visual experiences to “non-sign-like” visual experiences. I propose that visual metaphors are evoked by paintings through winner’s podiums all the way to cityscapes and scenes in nature. The latter two (non-sign-like) cases, cityscapes and natural scenes, are not commonly subjected to serious examination from a CMT perspective. However, they provide us with new challenges in the study of visual metaphors, since they greatly extend the range of visual experience that might give rise to visual metaphors. I suggest, further, that the comprehension or interpretation of all of these visual experiences, including sign-like and non-sign-like alike, makes use of the same metaphorical processing mechanisms. The visual metaphors that are evoked by visual experiences can be based either on correlations or resemblance.
Uncanny resemblance*
Authors: Cavazzana Alessandro , Bolognesi Marianna 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
What is the relation between the three following elements: words, pictures, and conceptual representations? And how do these three elements work, in defining and explaining metaphors? These are the questions that we tackle in our interdisciplinary contribution, which moves across cognitive linguistics, cognitive sciences, philosophy and semiotics. Within the cognitive linguistic tradition, scholars have assumed that there are equivalent and comparable structures characterizing the way in which metaphor works in language and in pictures. In this chapter we analyze contextual visual metaphors, which are considered to be the most complex ones, and we compare them to those that in language are called indirect metaphors. Our proposal is that a syllogistic mechanism of comprehension permeates both metaphors expressed in the verbal modality as well as metaphors expressed in the pictorial modality. While in the verbal modality the metaphoric syllogism is solved by inference, we argue that in the pictorial modality the role of inference is performed through mental imagery.
Rendering, generalization and variation*

Abstract
The chapter presents a case study of how the use of multiple parallel texts may be employed as a useful research method in cognitive poetics, using the English version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and its four published Czech versions as the samples. In the analysis, we examine the language of space in alternative verbalizations of the same literary scene across languages (English and Czech) and within the target language (Czech), and the different mental images invoked by the different ways of verbalizing the same scene. Our analysis shows that the use of multiple parallel texts can be a helpful research method in cognitive poetics, in the sense that the method is capable of providing naturalistic and representative linguistic evidence of how languages systematically differ, even for a domain as basic as space.
Metaphor in The Cancer Poetry Project
Authors: Steen Gerard J. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In this paper I discuss the relation between metaphor and its role in the poetry written by cancer
patients and their caregivers as reflected in the two volumes of The Cancer Poetry Project, edited by
Karen Miller. I suggest that metaphor may be less important than is assumed by either Susan Sontag and other critical
philosophers, Lakoff and Johnson and other cognitive linguists, or Elena Semino and similar cognitive stylistic and
poetic approaches. Metaphor is there, and when we focus on it, it has a lot of potential power, both in negative and
in positive ways. But the use of metaphor seems to be relatively subsidiary to the more encompassing genre event of
writing a cancer poem for a range of different purposes in the experience of cancer. I conclude that metaphor scholars
who wish to apply the study of metaphor in medical practice need to pay more attention to these encompassing discourse
factors than happens today.
Researching embodied metaphor production through improvisational dance practice
Authors: Cienki Alan , O’Connor Michael 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This contribution considers how artistic research based on the development of a form of practice
for improvisational dance draws upon, and helps develop, theory from cognitive linguistics and principles from the
phenomenology of movement. Dancers given the task of translating the sound of a singer’s voice (rather than her words)
into bodily actions while a song was played were found (based on their narratives about the experience) to have
intuitively employed certain forms of iconicity, image schemas, metaphor, and metonymy as principles for mapping sound
qualities to moving one’s body (movement processes) and assuming certain poses (products of movements). For example,
an extension of the tongue or opening of the jaw is parallel in certain ways to the muscular effort involved in the
extension of one’s arm, namely via mappings of iconicity between movement of different articulators. The abrupt onset
and decay (the aural image [Rhodes, 1994]) of air
turbulence coming from a pronounced consonant like ‘k’ affords understanding in terms of what Stern (1985) calls a vitality affect, allowing us to interpret the quality of plosiveness
across the domains of sound, touch, or action. This theoretically-informed improvisational dance practice explores the
bases of felt meaning that can give rise to and ground conceptual metaphors based on actions (as well as their
corresponding lexicalizations) – an issue explored extensively in R. Gibbs’ work.
Extended CMT and the dynamic systems theory of metaphor
Authors: Kövecses Zoltán 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In the paper, I try to systematically compare what Gibbs calls the “dynamic systems view” of
metaphor with what I call “extended conceptual metaphor theory.” I suggest that both views share the assumption that
the totality of our experiences can contribute to metaphor production and comprehension. The two views also assume
that any of the experiences can prime the use of metaphors as discourse progresses. Given such similarities, I propose
that both views work well in accounting for metaphorical creativity and context-sensitivity. The most noteworthy
difference between them seems to be that while extended CMT is based on the integration of conceptual metaphors on
various levels of schematicity (such as image schemas, domains, frames), the dynamic systems view operates primarily
on the mental space level of metaphorical conceptualization.
