Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundUltrasound (US)‐guided intraarticular hip joint injections are commonly performed using an in‐plane anterior approach, which has several limitations.ObjectiveTo describe and report a “lateral” (lateral to medial) approach for US‐guided intraarticular hip injection.DesignCadaveric investigation.SettingAcademic institution, department of anatomy.ParticipantsOne cadaveric specimen.MethodsBoth hips of a single cadaver were injected using the US‐guided lateral approach. In the left hip, the needle was inserted and kept in situ. The right hip was injected with white‐colored water‐diluted latex dye. Subsequently, a layer‐by‐layer anatomical dissection was performed.Main Outcome MeasuresPresence and distribution of latex dye and location of needle tip within the joint capsule of the hip.ResultsAnatomical dissection of the left and right hips confirmed the correct intraarticular position of the needle tip and the placement of the latex dye, respectively. During layer‐by‐layer dissection of the left hip, positions of the lateral cutaneous nerve and the lateral circumflex femoral artery were observed anterior to the needle, 30 mm for the nerve and 8 mm for the artery.ConclusionsThis preliminary study demonstrated that the US‐guided lateral approach is a convenient technique to access the hip joint in a cadaveric specimen. Compared with the “classical” anterior technique, the lateral approach may provide several advantages, including improved needle visibility, theoretically decreased risk of vascular injury, and less risk of needle contamination. Because injury to the lateral epiphyseal arteries is possible when lateral approach is used, caution is required, especially in children. These preliminary conclusions will need to be validated in future/larger clinical studies.

Published: December 2022

AbstractPhotocatalytic CO2 conversion into solar fuels is a promising technology to alleviate CO2 emissions and energy crises. The development of core‐shell structured photocatalysts brings many benefits to the photocatalytic CO2 reduction process, such as high conversion efficiency, sufficient product selectivity, and endurable catalyst stability. Core‐shell nanostructured materials with excellent physicochemical features take an irreplaceable position in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In this review, the recent development of core‐shell materials applied for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is introduced. First, the basic principle of photocatalytic CO2 reduction is introduced. In detail, the classification and synthesis techniques of core‐shell catalysts are discussed. Furthermore, it is also emphasized that the excellent properties of the core‐shell structure can greatly improve the activity, selectivity, and stability in the process of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Hopefully, this paper can provide a favorable reference for the preparation of efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

AbstractCyfluthrin is widely used in the field of sanitary pest control by its wide insecticidal spectrum, high efficiency and low toxicity, low residue, and good biodegradability. But, as a double‐edged sword, a large amount of cyfluthrin remains are still in the environment. The residual cyfluthrin is absorbed into the food chain through vegetation and then poses a risk to soil organisms and human health. Several studies have suggested that cyfluthrin is one of the main factors causing testicular damage, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we established in vivo and in vitro models of testicular injury in rats and GC‐2 cells exposed to cyfluthrin to explore whether stimulator of interferon genes (STING) gene mediates the regulation of AMPK/mTOR/p70S6K autophagy pathway, which lays a foundation for further study of the mechanism of testicular injury induced by cyfluthrin. The results showed that the activity of super oxide dismutase in testis decreased and the activity of malonic dialdehyde increased with the increase of concentration in vivo and in vitro. At the same time, the levels of mitochondrial damage and inflammation in the testis also increased, which further activated autophagy. In this process, the increased level of inflammation is related to the increased expression of STING gene, and AMPK/mTOR/p70S6K autophagy pathway is also involved. To sum up, cyfluthrin has certain reproductive toxicity, and long‐term exposure can induce testicular cell damage. STING gene can participate in cyfluthrin‐induced testicular injury through AMPK/mTOR/P70S6K autophagy pathway.

AbstractBackgroundReverse zoonoses occur because of interactions between humans and animals. Homology of ACE‐2 cell receptors in different hosts and high mutation rate of SARS‐CoV‐2 enhance viral transmission among species.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate spillover of SARS‐CoV‐2 between humans and companion animals.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was constructed using nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs, serum and blood samples collected from 66 companion animals (33 cats and 33 dogs) that were in contact with SARS‐CoV‐2‐positive owners from December 2020 to March 2021. Swabs were screened by rRT‐PCR and some positive cases were confirmed by partial spike gene sequencing. Clinical pathology and pathological studies were also performed.ResultsOur findings revealed that 30% of cats (10/33) and 24% of dogs (8/33) were SARS‐CoV‐2 positive. While 33% of these animals were asymptomatic (6/18), 28% showed mild respiratory signs (5/18) and 39% displayed severe respiratory signs (7/18) including 4 dead cats 40% (4/10). Partial spike gene sequencing of 6 positive samples collected in December 2020 were identical to SARS‐CoV‐2 that was detected in humans in Egypt in that time frame. Clinical pathology findings revealed thrombocytopenia, lymphocytopenia, as well as elevated levels of D‐dimer, LDH, CRP, and ferritin. Post‐mortem and histopathological examinations illustrated multisystemic effects.ConclusionsThere is a potential occurrence of SARS‐CoV‐2 spillover between humans and pet animals.Impacts
The present study highlighted the potential occurrence of SARS‐CoV‐2 spillover between humans and their companion animals.
Biosecurity measures should be applied to decrease spread of SARS‐CoV‐2 among humans and pet animals.

Published: December 2022

AbstractHow do particular genres and forms, with their distinct conventions and histories, shape representations of refugee experience? How do representations of refugeedom transform the conventions of genres such as memoir, theatre, comics, song, the essay, poetry or the novel? In this chapter, we outline a humanities approach to refugee studies with reference to significant contributions in the field. Then, we introduce the genres and forms covered in this collection and the relevance of these forms for claiming human rights: the memoir, the graphic novel, poetry, theatre, song, documentary film, media art, the Bildungsroman and the literary novel.

Published: December 2022

AbstractWith entrepreneurship education receiving growing attention in research and practice the question arises what exactly entrepreneurship education’s impact is and should be. There is a lack of discussion on what (different kinds of) entrepreneurship education should aim to achieve, and how entrepreneurship education’s success can be captured. In this chapter, we raise the question: What is relevant for generating which kind of entrepreneurial activity? We call for a stronger competence orientation, underline the importance of an entrepreneurship education ecosystem, and carve out the need for future research in these fields.
Using Moodle to Teach Computer Literacy to First-Time Computer Users: A UNAM Case Study
Authors: Mwatilifange Saavi R. , Mufeti Tulimevava K. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractComputer literacy courses provide opportunities for students to develop skills that are essential for lifelong learning. Many educational institutions in developing countries offer compulsory Information and Communication Technology (ICT) courses to help their first-year students develop these skills. Due to factors such as lockdowns imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some first-year students may not be able to attend these courses in person. This chapter investigates the suitability of an online environment for teaching a Computer Literacy course to first year students with varied demographics. It takes as a case study the delivery of the Computer Literacy course on the University of Namibia (UNAM) Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) over one semester. The course caters to a diverse student population, some of whom come from marginalized backgrounds and have never used a computer before. Using a questionnaire based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the study used a survey to determine the satisfaction of students and lecturers involved with the course. We also conducted semi-structured interviews to get an in-depth understanding of the actual use and level of satisfaction with Moodle. Results indicate that most students do not have access to ICT devices or the software required for the course. Although all students completed the course without any dropouts, the study also found that the students consistently accessed only two features supported by Moodle. The study recommends that all first-time users take an informal Introduction to Online Learning course before starting the Computer Literacy course. It also recommends that the current course be adapted to fit the context of use and to enhance online teaching of Computer Literacy to first-time computer users at UNAM.
Coordinating and Facilitating Bilateral Cultural Contacts
Authors: Clerc Louis 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn 1970, when Marjatta Oksanen joined the Ministry of Education, the Department of international affairs was divided into three administrative units: multilateral affairs, bilateral affairs (with two different organizations for East and West) and Nordic relations. The Finnish state managed various forms of cultural relations with countries or groups of countries, mostly in a facilitative function: support for exhibitions or concerts, longer-term support for cultural centres or language teaching and so forth. Most of these bilateral activities originated from private initiatives, and some domains like sports, scientific cooperation or relations with the Soviet Union were dominated by private, non-governmental or semi-public organizations that acted on their own or to whom the state devolved certain functions. Generally, only relations with the Soviet Union and technical issues with strong foreign political dimensions commanded a degree of involvement from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and interest from the country’s higher political leadership.
Participating in Multilateral Cultural Cooperation
Authors: Clerc Louis 
Published: December 2022

AbstractFinland signed the UNESCO charter on 10 October 1956. Jaakko Numminen starts the part of his memoirs dedicated to international cultural relations by insisting on the importance of UNESCO and multilateral organizations for the Ministry of Education’s work after the late 1950s. September delegation work in Paris during the organization’s assembly was an important event for the Ministry’s civil servants involved in international relations, a moment of reflection with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs about Finland’s position in international cultural cooperation with Nordic committees on positions, programmes, declarations and so on. It was both a proud moment, when Finnish representatives could feel concretely their country’s re-integration in international circles, and a difficult moment, when the Finns could vituperate about UNESCO’s bureaucracy and disorganization. UNESCO was only one example of the multiple forms of multilateral cooperations Finland got involved with in the postwar years, from Nordic cooperation to the OECD. If UNESCO created a bureaucracy of cultural diplomacy often disconnected from the realities of Finnish culture, other forms were more pragmatic and in sync with Finland’s educational and cultural developments.
International Data Centre Bulletin Events Triggered by Controlled Underwater Explosions of World War 2 Ordnances
Authors: Bittner Paulina , Le Bras Ronan , Mialle Pierrick , Nielsen Peter 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis paper focuses on events linked to controlled underwater explosions of World War 2 (WW2) ordnances which were included in the Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB). Data used for the study were provided by seismic stations of the International Monitoring System (IMS) in 2020. Examined events were triggered by devices of different charge size and took place in several locations in Europe. There were also other, previously detected WW2 ordnance underwater explosions which could be compared to events in 2020. It is shown that these relatively small underwater explosions listed in the REB, with good coupling to the ground, are located by the IMS network within 20 km from the ground truth. Charge size of explosive material was related to event magnitude. Results were compared to magnitudes published for underwater explosions of larger sizes. The conclusion is that an in-water explosion will result in seismic waves with amplitudes equivalent to the amplitudes of seismic waves from an in-ground explosion with 17.2 times the yield in kT.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Purpose
A major complication of sequential and concomitant chemoradiation in breast cancer treatment is interstitial pneumonitis induced by radiation therapy (RT), systemic therapy, or a combination of both. Dose and volume of co-irradiated lung tissue directly correlate with the risk of radiation pneumonitis. Especially in case of combined treatment, it is often unclear which of the used therapeutic agents promote pneumonitis.

Methods
This was a prospective monocentric study including 396 breast cancer patients. A systematic analysis of single and combined therapeutic measures was performed in order to identify treatment-related factors enhancing the risk of pneumonitis post RT.

Results
Overall incidence of pneumonitis of any grade was 38%; 28% were asymptomatic (grade 1) and 10% were symptomatic (> grade 1). Pneumonitis > grade 2 did not occur. Beside age, smoking status, and mean lung dose, the combined treatment with goserelin and tamoxifen significantly enhanced the risk of pneumonitis in a supra-additive pattern (odds ratio [OR] 4.38), whereas each agent alone or combined with other drugs only nonsignificantly contributed to a higher pneumonitis incidence post RT (OR 1.52 and OR 1.16, respectively). None of the other systemic treatments, including taxanes, increased radiation pneumonitis risk in sequential chemoradiation.

Conclusion
Common treatment schedules in sequential chemoradiation following breast-conserving surgery only moderately increase lung toxicity, mainly as an asymptomatic complication, or to a minor extent, as transient pneumonitis ≤ grade 2. However, combined treatment with tamoxifen and the LHRH analog goserelin significantly increased the risk of pneumonitis in breast cancer patients after chemoradiation. Thus, closer surveillance of involved patients is advisable.
Religious Beliefs, Trust In Public Figures, And Adherence to COVID-19 Health Guidelines among American Orthodox and Non-Orthodox Jews
Authors: Cherniak Aaron D. , Pirutinsky Steven , Rosmarin David H. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic and resultant health crisis highlighted the lack of scholarly understanding of the effects of sociocultural factors and religious beliefs on compliance with public health guidelines. Orthodox Jews in particular were suspected of mistrusting medical experts and were singled out for alleged non-compliance with COVID-19 health guidelines. We surveyed American Jews (N = 1,141) during the early stages of the pandemic about their religious beliefs connected with the pandemic, trust in relevant public figures, and compliance with health guidelines to examine whether and how these factors are related. Generally, participants expressed high levels of trust in scientists, medical professionals, and religious leaders and a high degree of adherence to health guidelines. We examined how trust varies as a function of sociodemographic features, religious affiliation, and health-related religious beliefs (i.e., spiritual health locus of control). Overall, our research underscores the relevance of religious beliefs and trust in public figures to adherence to health guidelines and public health messaging.
Optimal Extraction Method of Feature Points in Key Frame Image of Mobile Network Animation
Authors: Yin Tao , Lv Zhihan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn order to effectively extract the feature points of mobile network animation images and accurately reflect the main content of the video, an optimization method to extract the feature points of key frame images of mobile network animation is proposed. Firstly, the key frames are selected according to the content change degree of the animation video. The scale invariant feature transformation algorithm is used to describe the feature points of the key frame image of the animation video. The local feature points of the image are estimated by the constraint optimization method to realize the optimization extraction of the feature points of the key frame image of the mobile network animation. The efficiency of feature points extraction is analyzed from the number and effectiveness of feature points extraction, time-consuming and similarity invariance of feature points. The experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent adaptability, and can effectively extract feature points of mobile network animation image.
Practical Hilbert space approximate Bayesian Gaussian processes for probabilistic programming
Authors: Riutort-Mayol Gabriel , Bürkner Paul-Christian , Andersen Michael R. , Solin Arno , Vehtari Aki 
Published: December 2022

AbstractGaussian processes are powerful non-parametric probabilistic models for stochastic functions. However, the direct implementation entails a complexity that is computationally intractable when the number of observations is large, especially when estimated with fully Bayesian methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo. In this paper, we focus on a low-rank approximate Bayesian Gaussian processes, based on a basis function approximation via Laplace eigenfunctions for stationary covariance functions. The main contribution of this paper is a detailed analysis of the performance, and practical recommendations for how to select the number of basis functions and the boundary factor. Intuitive visualizations and recommendations, make it easier for users to improve approximation accuracy and computational performance. We also propose diagnostics for checking that the number of basis functions and the boundary factor are adequate given the data. The approach is simple and exhibits an attractive computational complexity due to its linear structure, and it is easy to implement in probabilistic programming frameworks. Several illustrative examples of the performance and applicability of the method in the probabilistic programming language Stan are presented together with the underlying Stan model code.
Implications of pretend play for Theory of Mind research
Authors: Wolf Julia 
Published: December 2022

AbstractResearch on the development of Theory of Mind has often focused predominantly on belief attribution, but recently moves have been made to include also other mental states. This includes especially factive mental states like knowledge, where factive Theory of Mind may turn out to be more basic than non-factive Theory of Mind. I argue that children’s early pretend play also carries important implications for Theory of Mind research. Although pretend play does not directly provide evidence of Theory of Mind in young children, it provides evidence of an early ability to handle inconsistent representations, although this ability to access these inconsistent representations may be contingent on external support. Dealing with inconsistent representations is arguably an important component of non-factive Theory of Mind and underlies belief attribution. This carries important implications for debates in Theory of Mind, especially concerning the relationship between factive and non-factive Theory of Mind. I also consider to what extent the findings from pretend play can be extended to support and illuminate the findings from the implicit false belief task.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe prime goal of this study is to investigate novel solutions of two well-known nonlinear models namely the$$(2+1)$$(2+1)-dimensional Zoomeron equation and the foam drainage equation by utilizing a powerful technique; the extended$$\left(\frac{G'}{G^{2}}\right)$$G′G2-expansion method. Using this methodology, the hyperbolic function solutions, the trigonometric function solutions and the rational function solutions are constructed. Abundant soliton solutions are retrieved from the obtained results. The dynamical structures of the solutions are illustrated graphically through 3-dimensional graphs and the corresponding contour plots. The reported results depict the effectiveness and capability of the extended$$\left(\frac{G'}{G^{2}}\right)$$G′G2-expansion method for handling different nonlinear partial differential equations.
CONSTRUCTING NONSTANDARD HULLS AND LOEB MEASURES IN INTERNAL SET THEORIES
Authors: HRBACEK KAREL , KATZ MIKHAIL G. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCurrently the two popular ways to practice Robinson’s nonstandard analysis are the model-theoretic approach and the axiomatic/syntactic approach. It is sometimes claimed that the internal axiomatic approach is unable to handle constructions relying on external sets. We show that internal frameworks provide successful accounts of nonstandard hulls and Loeb measures. The basic fact this work relies on is that the ultrapower of the standard universe by a standard ultrafilter is naturally isomorphic to a subuniverse of the internal universe.
