Authors: Sangeetha J. , Mohan S. , Hariharasudan A. , Kannan R. 
Published: February 2022

Language becomes the vulnerable person's first offensive weapon, one that will spark a debate, show shortcomings, and compel others to take sides. It is a fundamental medium for engagement and communication. It not only represents and interprets facts and observations, but it also has an impact on people's views and actions because it is an integral aspect of society's cultural conditions. As a result, the current research will concentrate on the language and linguistics aspects of notable Indian writer Meena Kandasamy and her well-known works such as Touch (2006), Ms. Militancy (2010), The Gypsy Goddess (2014) and When I Hit You (2017). The study's findings reveal that Kandasamy's work transcends the boundaries of postcolonial mobility and diversity by demonstrating the material and the subject matter's resolute tenacity, authenticity, and rawness.
Modern trends in the study of aphasia
Authors: Markelov Grigory I. 
Published: February 2022

In the history of the doctrine of aphasia, there are already several eras. The most accurate moment in the history of this doctrine was in 1861, when Broca made a report at the Paris Medical Academy, in which, on the basis of two autopsies, he argued that the integrity of the third and partly the second left frontal gyri is necessary for the correct formation of speech.
A few years later, the fact was noted that a violation of the integrity of the Broca gyrus inevitably entails aphasia, but that aphasia is far from always associated with a lesion of the Broca gyrus. Already Meynert (1866) and Sander (1869) proved that the symptom complex of aphasia and its anatomical basis are much more complex than Broca suggested.
Algunas razones y elementos para hacer una reforma pensional en Colombia
Authors: Cañón Ortegón Leonardo 
Published: February 2022

En Colombia se debe hacer una reforma integral en materia pensional para dar protección a la población mayor, en la cual se aborden múltiples razones expuestas por diversos sectores de la sociedad y se tengan en cuenta elementos relacionados con la estructura demográfica de la población, la nueva composición del mercado de trabajo y una evaluación del actual Sistema General de Pensiones, a partir de los parámetros establecidos por la Constitución Política de 1991, de manera que se revisen los ajustes que se han hecho al actual sistema, se haga una reflexión profunda sobre el contenido del derecho a las pensiones de invalidez, vejez y de sobrevivencia, sin que se limite al reconocimiento de las mesadas pensionales, dejando de lado las necesidades asistenciales de salud, hospitalización y demás servicios sociales complementarios que requiere la población mayor; los mecanismos establecidos para mantener el poder adquisitivo de las pensiones; se replantee la eficacia de las indemnizaciones sustitutivas y las devoluciones de saldos, frente a la garantía del derecho pensional de las personas; se adopte una política integral de pensiones que pueda ser ejecutada al más alto nivel del Estado y se establezcan mecanismos financieros permanentes que garanticen la sostenibilidad financiera del sistema pensional en Colombia, mediante una metodología que incorpore esquemas de tipo contributivo y distributivo de los recursos para que el Estado pueda garantizar los derecho irrenunciables a la seguridad social y a la protección social en condiciones de igualdad para todos los habitantes.

Published: February 2022

Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infections are common and when they disseminate can be of high morbidity.
Methods: We studied the effects of UPEC infection using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in zebrafish. Bulk RNA sequencing has historically been used to evaluate gene expression patterns, but scRNAseq allows gene expression to be evaluated at the single cell level and is optimal for evaluating heterogeneity within cell types and rare cell types. Zebrafish cohorts were injected with either saline or UPEC,and scRNAseq and canonical pathway analyses were performed.
Results: Canonical pathway analysis of scRNAseq data provided key information regarding innate immune pathways in the cells determined to be thymus cells, ionocytes, macrophages/monocytes, and pronephros cells. Pathways activated in thymus cells included interleukin 6 (IL-6) signaling and production of reactive oxygen species. Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis was a leading canonical pathway in the pronephros and macrophages. Genes that were downregulated in UPEC vs saline exposed embryos involved the cellular response to the Gram-negative endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and included Forkhead Box O1a (Foxo1a), Tribbles Pseudokinase 3 (Trib3), Arginase 2 (Arg2) and Polo Like Kinase 3 (Plk3).
Conclusions: Because 4-day post fertilization zebrafish embryos only have innate immune systems, the scRNAseq provides insights into pathways and genes that cell types utilize in the bacterial response. Based on our analysis, we have identified genes and pathways that might serve as genetic targets for treatment and further investigation in UPEC infections at the single cell level.
Distribution of the number of scientific and pedagogical staff of universities by work experience
Authors: Pinkovetskaia Iuliia S. 
Published: February 2022

The purpose of our study was to assess the proportion of teachers with different work experience in relevant positions in higher education institutions in the total number of university teachers in each of the regions of Russia. In the course of the work, the indicators characterizing the proportion of teachers belonging to five groups by work experience of up to five years, from five to ten years, from ten to fifteen years, from fifteen to twenty years and more than twenty years in the total number of teachers working in higher educational institutions were evaluated. The study used official statistical information for 82 regions of Russia. We used the density functions of the normal distribution as models. The results of the study allowed us to draw conclusions: approximately every fourteenth teacher has worked in a teaching position for less than five years, every ninth teacher has worked in this position for five to ten years, every seventh teacher has worked in this position for ten to fifteen years, every fifth teacher has worked in this position for fifteen to twenty years. It is proved that the number of teachers with work experience up to twenty years was 52% and was slightly more than the number of teachers with work experience of more than twenty years (48%). The analysis showed the presence of a certain differentiation of the values of the considered indicators by region. The proposed methodological approach and the results obtained have originality and scientific novelty.

Published: February 2022

Squeak and Rattle problems seriously affect the quality of the vehicles. In the adjustment stage of the automobile development process, engineers mainly rely on subjective evaluation to diagnose squeak and rattle noises, which is prone to misjudgment, missed judgment and time-consuming problems. There are gaps in relevant objective evaluation methods. This article proposed that speaker identification is used to identify squeak and rattle noises from the audio recorded in the test, to achieve objective and accurate results. In this paper, four kinds of squeak and rattle noise audios are used as samples, Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient is extracted as feature vector to construct target Gaussian mixture models (GMM). The expectation, variance and correlation coefficient of the Gaussian mixture model can be calculated to describe the difference of multiple squeak and rattle noises. Using samples to judge accuracy rate, the results indicated that the acceptance accuracy rate reaches 100 %, and the rejection accuracy rate reaches more than 95 %.
Effect of the temperature increase in oil-immersed electric reactor on the stress loss of the fastening rods of core limb
Authors: Jin Wende , Nie Jingkai , Han Yu , Fan Chao , He Qiang , Tian Yi 
Published: February 2022

The noise and vibration of large oil-immersed reactor is usually controlled and reduced by using high-strength pretensioned steel rods to fasten iron cores. But the effect of uneven temperature increase in the reactor on the pretension relaxation of steel rods is rarely discussed in previous literatures. A combined fastening device of high-strength steel rod and disc spring is designed to conduct temperature experiment in this paper. And three-dimensional (3D) finite element model is developed to reproduce the experiment process. After the numerical simulation method is verified, finite element analysis of a real BKD-6700/20 oil-immersed reactor is performed. The prestress loss proportion of the high-strength pretensioned steel rods in the oil-immersed reactor under practical operating state is 17.91 % owing to its uneven temperature rise, which can result in significantly weakening of its vibration and noise reduction function.

Published: February 2022

Background
Early sequencing and quick analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 genome have contributed to the understanding of the dynamics of COVID-19 epidemics and in designing countermeasures at a global level.

Objective
Amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods are widely used to sequence the SARS-CoV-2 genome and to identify novel variants that are emerging in rapid succession as well as harboring multiple deletions and amino acid–changing mutations.

Methods
To facilitate the analysis of NGS sequencing data obtained from amplicon-based sequencing methods, here, we propose an easy-to-use SARS-CoV-2 genome assembler: the Easy-to-use SARS-CoV-2 Assembler (ESCA) pipeline.

Results
Our results have shown that ESCA could perform high-quality genome assembly from Ion Torrent and Illumina raw data and help the user in easily correct low-coverage regions. Moreover, ESCA includes the possibility of comparing assembled genomes of multisample runs through an easy table format.

Conclusions
In conclusion, ESCA automatically furnished a variant table output file, fundamental to rapidly recognizing variants of interest. Our pipeline could be a useful method for obtaining a complete, rapid, and accurate analysis even with minimal knowledge in bioinformatics.
The Ontario Electronic Consultation (eConsult) Service: Cross-sectional Analysis of Utilization Data for 2 Models
Authors: Guglani Sheena , Liddy Clare , Afkham Amir , Mitchell Rhea , Keely Erin 
Published: February 2022

Background
The Ontario electronic consultation (eConsult) service allows a primary care provider (PCP) to access specialist advice through 2 models: the direct-to-specialist (DTS) model, where PCPs select a specialist from a directory, and the Building Access to Specialists Through eConsultation (BASE)–managed specialty service, where PCPs choose a specialty group and are assigned a specialist from a qualified pool based on availability.

Objective
The aim of this study is to examine patterns of use between the 2 models of eConsult delivery.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of utilization data collected from eConsults completed between October 2018 and September 2019. Cases were grouped based on the model used for submission (ie, BASE or DTS). Each model was assessed for the number of cases over time, specialty distribution, proportion resulting in new or additional information, impact on PCPs’ decisions to refer, and billing time.

Results
PCPs submitted 26,121 eConsults during the study period. The monthly case volume increased by 43% over the duration of the study, primarily in the BASE model (66% compared to 6% for DTS). PCPs were able to confirm a course of action that they originally had in mind in 41.4% (6373/15,376) of BASE cases and 41.3% (3363/8136) of DTS cases and received advice for a new or additional course of action in 54.7% (8418/15,376) of BASE cases and 56.3% (4582/8136) of DTS cases. A referral was originally contemplated but avoided in 51.3% (7887/15,376) of BASE cases and 53.3% (4336/8136) of DTS cases, originally contemplated and still needed in 19.4% (2986/15,376) of BASE cases and 17.7% (1438/8136) of DTS cases, and neither originally contemplated nor needed in 21.7% (3334/15,376) of BASE cases and 21.9% (1781/8136) of DTS cases.

Conclusions
Both eConsult models had strong uptake. Use patterns varied between models, with the majority of growth occurring under BASE, but survey responses showed that both models provided similar outcomes in terms of new information offered and impact on decision to refer.

Authors: Shannon Holly , Bush Katie , Villeneuve Paul J , Hellemans Kim GC , Guimond Synthia 
Published: February 2022

Background
Technology is ever evolving, with more and more diverse activities becoming possible on screen-based devices. However, participating in a heavy screen-based lifestyle may come at a cost. Our hypothesis was that problematic social media use increased the prevalence of mental health outcomes.

Objective
This study seeks to systematically examine problematic social media use in youth and its association with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.

Methods
A systematic search was conducted to identify studies in adolescents and young adults, using the databases Engineering Village, Psycinfo, Pubmed, and Web of Science. A total of 18 studies were identified, with a total of 9269 participants in our review and included in the meta-analysis.

Results
Our metaregression shows moderate but statistically significant correlations between problematic social media use and depression (r=0.273, P<.001), anxiety (r=0.348, P<.001), and stress (r=0.313, P<.001). We did not find evidence of heterogeneity of these summary correlations by age, gender, or year of publication.

Conclusions
This study provides further evidence of the association between problematic social media use and negative mental health among adolescents and young adults and supports future research to focus on the underlying mechanisms of problematic use of social media.

Blood Pressure Control in Individuals With Hypertension Who Used a Digital, Personalized Nutrition Platform: Longitudinal Study
Authors: Bakre Shivani , Shea Benjamin , Langheier Jason , Hu Emily A 
Published: February 2022

Background
While there is a strong association between adhering to a healthy dietary pattern and reductions in blood pressure, adherence remains low. New technologies aimed to help facilitate behavior change may have an effect on reducing blood pressure among individuals with hypertension.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate characteristics of participants with stage 2 hypertension who used Foodsmart and to assess changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Methods
We analyzed demographic, dietary, and clinical characteristics collected from 11,934 adults with at least two blood pressure readings who used the Foodsmart platform. Stage 2 hypertension was defined as SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg. We calculated mean changes in blood pressure among participants with stage 2 hypertension and stratified by length of follow-up and the covariates associated with achieving blood pressure levels below stage 2 hypertension. We compared changes in diet quality and weight between participants with stage 2 hypertension at baseline who achieved stage 1 hypertension or below and those who did not.

Results
We found that 10.63% (1269/11,934) of participants had stage 2 hypertension at baseline. Among Foodsmart participants with stage 2 hypertension at baseline, SBP and DBP decreased, on average, by 5.7 and 4.0 mmHg, respectively; 33.02% (419/1269) of participants with stage 2 hypertension at baseline achieved blood pressure levels below stage 2 hypertension (SBP <140 mmHg and DBP <90 mmHg). Using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model, changes in Nutriscore (P=.001) and weight (P=.04) were statistically significantly associated with changes in blood pressure categories for users with stage 2 hypertension at baseline. Using a multivariable logistic regression model, we found that baseline Nutriscore, change in Nutriscore, and change in weight were associated with greater likelihood of users with stage 2 hypertension at baseline achieving a lower blood pressure category.

Conclusions
This study evaluated changes in SBP and DBP among users (with hypertension) of the Foodsmart platform and found that those with stage 2 hypertension, on average, improved their blood pressure levels over time.
Queens Independence Separation on Rectangular Chessboards
Authors: Kaluri Sowndarya Suseela Padma , Naidu Y Lakshmi 
Published: February 2022

The famous eight queens problem with non-attacking queens placement on an 8 x 8 chessboard was first posed in the year 1848. The queens separation problem is the legal placement of the fewest number of pawns with the maximum number of independent queens placed on an N x N board which results in a separated board. Here a legal placement is defined as the separation of attacking queens by pawns. Using this concept, the current study extends the queens separation problem onto the rectangular board M x N, (M<N), to result in a separated board with the maximum number of independent queens. The research work here first describes the M+k queens separation with k=1 pawn and continue to find for any k. Then it focuses on finding the symmetric solutions of the M+k queens separation with k pawns.
The Use of Ultrafiltration in High-Risk Post-operative Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Patients.
Authors: Beckles Daniel , Tavilla Giuseppe , Malhotra Amber , Williams Nikki E. , Jackson Tamara , Koerner Michael , Reddy Ramachandra 
Published: February 2022

Abstract:Background: Fluid overload (FO) and acute
kidney injury (AKI) after CABG surgery are due to multiple perioperative
etiologies associated with high failure to rescue rates (FTR) and
associated with poor outcomes . Diuretics, fluid
restriction, ultrafiltration (UF) and renal replacement therapies are
the treatment modalities implemented as monotherapy or in combination to
address this severe complication. There is limited data on the use of
simplified UF therapy as a fluid management strategy in post-operative
cardiac surgery patients. Methods: A retrospective review of
our post operative isolated CABG patients was done from Jan 1
, 2020 to July 31 , 2021. Those
subjected to a simplified UF protocol incorporating Goal Directed
Therapy (GDT) to treat fluid overload and/or acute kidney injury were
evaluated for 30-day survival and readmission rates. Results: A
total of 254 isolated CABG procedures were performed during this period.
Ultrafiltration was used in 17 (6.7%) patients. The 30-day mortality
for the entire CABG cohort was 5/254 (2.0%) patients and in the UF
group 0/17 (0%). The mean age of UF therapy patients was 65.8 years
(Range 41-89). The mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons STS mortality score
of UF patients was 5.7% (Range 0.6-50.0). The 30-day survival for the
17 patients placed on UF therapy was 100% and their readmission rate
was 2/17 (11.7%). Conclusions: The use of ultrafiltration in
this patient population with relatively high STS scores provided a safe
and effective modality to manage fluid balance but further studies are
needed.
The Abishag Episode: Reexamining the Role of Virility in 1 Kings 1:1–4 in Light of the Kirta Epic and the Sumerian Tale “The Old Man and the Young Woman"
Authors: Meek Russell L. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Based on two pieces of parallel literature (the Sumerian folktale “The Old Man and the Young Woman” and the Kirta Epic), most modern interpreters have understood the Abishag Episode as a virility test that indicates David is unfit to rule. However, this article contends that this view is a misreading of the text based on a comparative method that fails to take into account important differences between 1 Kgs 1:1–4 and the parallel literature. Following Hallo’s contextual method, this article compares and contrasts these two texts with the Abishag Episode and demonstrates that the dissimilarities between the narratives make it unlikely that 1 Kgs 1:1–4 is truly about David’s sexual competence. The evidence presented here confirms that the Abishag Episode is concerned with David’s ability to rule, but the emphasis is on David’s inability to rule his kingdom effectively, which his servants attempt to address by reenergizing David with a beautiful young virgin.
Perspectives on Paul the Sinner
Authors: Gray Patrick 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Among other aspects of his writings, the New Perspective reexamines Paul’s moral self-evaluation in light of his Jewish background and his faith in Jesus as Messiah. Many scholars follow Krister Stendahl’s lead in finding a “robust” conscience in Paul and take this as one more element distinguishing the undisputed letters from the disputed letters. This article reconsiders the key texts in this construal of Paul’s spiritual career and explores the broader implications for understanding his thought.
Confirming Joshua as the Interpreter of Israel’s “Tôrāh”: The Narrative Role of Joshua 8:30–35
Authors: Chambers Nathan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
By reading Deuteronomy and Joshua in their canonical sequence and applying the framework of a three-stage accession process, the ceremony at Mount Ebal (Josh 8:30–35) emerges as the confirmation of Joshua as Moses’s successor. After describing Joshua’s designation (Josh 1) and demonstration (Josh 3–8), this study argues that his confirmation is specifically as the legitimate interpreter of Moses’s tôrāh.
Mother-Child Narratives and the Kingdom of God: Authorial Use of Typology as an Interpretive Device in Samuel–Kings
Authors: Jero Christopher 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article seeks to demonstrate how the Samuel–Kings history uses mother-child narratives typologically both as a structural frame around which to present the history of the kingdom and as a guide to the reader in interpreting that history. The author’s use of structure, emphasis, tension, and selectivity leads the reader to recognize that the child in each narrative typifies Israel’s kingdom. The Hannah narrative (1 Sam 1) introduces the kingdom and nuances Yhwh’s censure of Israel’s request for a king. Solomon’s judgment (1 Kgs 3) foreshadows the divided monarchy. It teaches that Jeroboam’s willingness to rebel exposes the illegitimacy of his dynasty. The Shunammite’s story (2 Kgs 4) anticipates the final fall of David’s kingdom. Through it, the author argues that the Babylonian Exile does not negate the Davidic covenant, but the faithful lean on Yhwh who can and will resolve all impossible contradictions.
