Abstract
It remains a huge challenge for clinicians to diagnose Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) by a conventional method, which leads to delay in diagnosing PJP, accounting for higher mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A 69-year-old woman, who suffered from RA for years, developed acute respiratory failure. The computed tomography scan showed diffused effusion and ground glass opacity in both lungs, which could not be differentiated from interstitial pneumonia. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) revealed P. jirovecii in both serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with reads per million (RPM) of 17 and 437, while other diagnostic tests did not detect any pathogenic microorganism. The results were verified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (mtSSU region) against the same samples. The DNA RPM of P. jirovecii declined notably after treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. The patient was discharged without treatment and finally passed away. This case fully highlights the sensitivity of mNGS in early diagnosis of PJP, which is of great significance for prognosis and treatment. Nonetheless, the clinical application of mNGS is worth further standardization and normalization.

Abstract

Objectives
Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 is attracting interest as a biomarker in several areas of medicine. We aimed to evaluate the reference range for GDF-15 in a general population, and to explore demographics, classical cardiovascular disease risk factors, and other cardiac biomarkers associated with GDF-15.

Methods
GDF-15 was measured in serum from 19,462 individuals in the Generation Scotland Scottish Family Health Study. Associations of cardiometabolic risk factors with GDF-15 were tested using adjusted linear regression. Among 18,507 participants with no heart disease, heart failure, or stroke, and not pregnant, reference ranges (median and 97.5th centiles) were derived by decade age bands and sex.

Results
Among males in the reference range population, median (97.5th centile) GDF-15 concentration at age <30 years was 537 (1,135) pg/mL, rising to 931 (2,492) pg/mL at 50–59 years, and 2,152 (5,972) pg/mL at ≥80 years. In females, median GDF-15 at age <30 years was 628 (2,195) pg/mL, 881 (2,323) pg/mL at 50–59 years, and 1847 (6,830) pg/mL at ≥80 years. Among those known to be pregnant, median GDF-15 was 19,311 pg/mL. After adjustment, GDF-15 was higher in participants with adverse cardiovascular risk factors, including current smoking (+26.1%), those with previous heart disease (+12.7%), stroke (+17.1%), heart failure (+25.3%), and particularly diabetes (+60.2%). GDF-15 had positive associations with cardiac biomarkers cardiac troponin I, cardiac troponin T, and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

Conclusions
These data define reference ranges for GDF-15 for comparison in future studies, and identify potentially confounding risk factors and mediators to be considered in interpreting GDF-15 concentrations.
‘The whole fragment’: Fragments and ethics in the poetry of Ann Lauterbach
Authors: Hand Dominic 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis essay reads the poetry of Ann Lauterbach, from the 1990 s to the present day, tracing the development of her central poetic concept of ‘the whole fragment’. Via close readings of exemplary works, the analysis is supported by her theoretical writings, essays and correspondence, and by archival material. The essay evidences ‘the whole fragment’ as a poetic methodology focused on flaws, ruptures, and transformations. It considers how loss and otherness catalyse the aporetic proclivity of Lauterbach’s poetry in the 1990 s, and analyses emergent formal ‘constellations’ and ‘reels’ as manifestations of ‘the whole fragment’. It then isolates an ethical turn for ‘the whole fragment’ in her poetry of the 2000 s, and traces its renewal through her most recent publications, up to 2018. Following this, it makes several critical postulations. Referencing concepts from Maurice Blanchot and Emmanuel Levinas, it analyses Lauterbach’s responses to 9/11 and the Other, and evaluates her ethical poetry of ‘disaster’. The essay’s conclusion distinguishes Lauterbach’s developments from contemporary practices of the ‘open’ text or ‘poethics’, in order to demonstrate the integrity, importance, and distinctiveness of her œuvre in contemporary American poetry.
Spanish heritage speakers’ processing of lexical stress
Authors: Ortín Ramsés 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study examines the status of lexical stress in the processing system of heritage speakers of Spanish and whether or not it is influenced by their experience with English. Participants completed an ABX matching task with auditory stimuli differing in the location of stress or in one consonantal sound. Findings reveal that heritage speakers are more accurate in consonant-based trials than in stress-based ones, but only when matching stimuli were non-adjacent, which suggests that their stress-processing strategies pattern more closely with those of native English speakers. Furthermore, dominance and knowledge of Spanish appear to be associated with increased phonological sensibility to stress contrasts. Pedagogical implications are discussed.
Developing e-reading pedagogies informed by research

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper explores whether the reading comprehension of complex texts can be facilitated through an online reading platform designed for novice readers with English proficiencies below the Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) threshold. We hypothesize that computer-mediated text glosses could speed up lower-level processing in the readers’ working memory and thus enhance the overall comprehension of complex texts for study purposes. We tested 46 participants with estimated International English Language Testing System (IELTS) reading scores between 5 and 5.5, sampled from a pool of 1,406 students who took a diagnostic reading test and 631 students who completed a survey on their reading practices. Our participants were randomly assigned to read one General Reading IELTS text and one Academic Reading IELTS text, either on an on-screen Word file or on the e-reading platform with the glossing tool. The tests were video-recorded and the participants completed post-test interviews for further qualitative analysis. While the Mixed-model ANOVA did not suggest an interaction effect between the two language proficiency categories and the mode in which the tests were administered, it revealed a main effect on the use of online reading (p < 0.01) across the 5–5.5 IELTS spectrum, indicating that the electronic glosses enhanced reading comprehension. Implications for further research and pedagogy are discussed.
Chancen und Grenzen der Verwendung von fMRT in der neurokriminologischen Forschung
Authors: Kröll Hannah , Beckord Christina 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Die Frage nach einer biologischen Disposition für kriminelles Verhalten ist so alt wie die Kriminologie selbst. Bereits 1876 versuchte Cesare Lombroso anhand des physischen Erscheinungsbildes von Verbrecher*innen Typologien für verschiedene Deliktsarten zu erstellen. Diese Form der biologischen Kriminologie fand in der NS-Zeit ihren dramatischen Höhepunkt und wurde im Anschluss an den zweiten Weltkrieg verpönt. Die technische Entwicklung der funktionellen Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRT) hat in der Gegenwart zu einer Renaissance der Neurokriminologie geführt. Zwar gibt es zahlreiche neue Erkenntnisse zu dem Zusammenhang von Hirnstruktur und -funktionalität mit individuellem Verhalten, gleichzeitig wurden jedoch auch Schwierigkeiten dieser Methode diskutiert. Neben datenschutzrechtlichen Herausforderungen und der Diskussion um die Existenz des freien Willens sind hier auch grundlegende messtechnische Probleme zu nennen. Der Wunsch, die bestehenden, meist soziologisch orientierten Erkenntnisse der Kriminologie um Risikofaktoren der biologischen Disposition zu erweitern, steht somit der Frage nach der Validität und Reliabilität der gewonnenen Ergebnisse gegenüber. In diesem Aufsatz wird die aktuelle Diskussion rund um fMRT im Zusammenhang mit delinquentem Verhalten für die oben genannten Bereiche nachgezeichnet und diskutiert.
Intermediate cervical plexus block in the management of treatment resistant chronic cluster headache following whiplash trauma in three patients: a case series
Authors: Niraj G. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Cluster headaches are an intensely painful and debilitating headache disorder. Conventional management includes abortive and preventative agents. A fifth of patients with chronic cluster headaches can be refractory to conventional treatment. Cluster headache can develop following whiplash trauma to the head and neck.

Case Presentation
Three patients were referred to a tertiary pain medicine unit in a university teaching hospital with treatment-resistant chronic cluster headache. They were treated with a novel intervention namely, ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block with depot methylprednisolone. Patient one reported chronic cluster headache for three years. Patient two reported episodic cluster headache that appeared to be evolving into chronic cluster headache. Patient three reported bilateral cluster headache following a motor vehicle accident. Intermediate cervical plexus block provided significant and durable relief in three patients with treatment resistant chronic cluster headache.

Conclusions
The novel intervention may have played a role in aborting and preventing chronic cluster headaches.
Fast Retrieval Method of Massive Library Literature Resources Based on an Online Hash Algorithm
Authors: Wang Huan 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Aiming at the relatively large amount of library literature resources, a fast retrieval method for massive library literature resources based on an online hash algorithm is designed. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between library literature resources, the collaborative filtering algorithm is used to realize the library literature resource mining based on the calculation results, and the least squares method is used to filter the nonsignificant data features in the mining results. Construct a Hash-B-tree to search the user’s library literature resources on a certain day, design a hash function lookup table to manage inactive metadata, and use fuzzy theory to simulate data with similar characteristics in the data divergence measurement sample, minimize the divergence of the sample data, and finally visualize the retrieval results based on the subject hierarchical relationship. The experimental results show that this method has the advantages of higher retrieval result accuracy, faster retrieval efficiency, and higher comprehensiveness of retrieval results.
Modeling and Analysis of Psychological Change and Adaptability of College Students Based on Machine Learning as an Infrastructure to a Smart City
Authors: Wang Jing 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In order to improve the mental health education of college students, reduce the intermediate links, and improve work efficiency, this paper analyzes the psychological change characteristics and adaptability of college students based on machine learning. We should introduce speech recognition technology, carry out natural language processing, vectorize the speech text, construct the semantic perception model of college students’ mental health states, and track the sensitive words similar to the evaluation standard of college students’ mental health states; we should introduce multifeature fusion technology through measuring the description ability of different features, learn the complementary state of different sensitive words of different features, and perceive the psychological change characteristics of college students and serialize them; we should, based on the decision tree algorithm in machine learning, construct the analysis model of psychological adaptability of college students, analyze the sensitive words and the frequency and level of sensitive words in the process of college students’ mental health conversations, determine their adaptability, and complete the modeling and analysis of psychological change characteristics and adaptability of college students based on machine learning. The experimental results show that the method has no change to the original dependency relation, the time cost of feature acquisition is still small, and the sensing effect of sensitive words is close to the ideal value.
Shaping Information Processing: The Role of Oscillatory Dynamics in a Working Memory Task
Authors: ElShafei Hesham A. , Zhou Ying Joey , Haegens Saskia 
Published: August 2022

AbstractNeural oscillations are thought to reflect low-level operations that can be used for higher-level cognitive functions. Here, we investigated the role of brain rhythms in the 1–30 Hz range by recording MEG in human participants performing a visual delayed match-to-sample paradigm in which orientation or spatial frequency of sample and probe gratings had to be matched. A cue occurring before or after sample presentation indicated the to-be-matched feature. We demonstrate that alpha/beta power decrease tracks the presentation of the informative cue and indexes faster responses. Moreover, these faster responses coincided with an augmented phase alignment of slow oscillations, as well as phase–amplitude coupling between slow and fast oscillations. Importantly, stimulus decodability was boosted by both low alpha power and high beta power. In summary, we provide support for a comprehensive framework in which different rhythms play specific roles: slow rhythms control input sampling, while alpha (and beta) gates the information flow, beta recruits task-relevant circuits, and the timing of faster oscillations is controlled by slower ones.
La protesta laboral en Costa Rica (2013-2019): actores, repertorios y demandas
Authors: Alvarado Alcázar Alejandro , Cortés Sequeira Sofía , Sáenz Leandro Ronald 
Published: August 2022

Mediante una metodología basada en el Análisis de Eventos de Protesta (AEP), el presente trabajo tiene como propósito central indagar en la configuración y características de la protesta laboral del sector público costarricense durante el período comprendido entre 2013 y 2019. Interesa particularmente identificar y caracterizar el comportamiento de dicho sector en términos de los actores demandantes, repertorios, demandas y actores demandados. El trabajo concluye que la protesta laboral del sector público costarricense ocupa un lugar central en el panorama general de la protesta social en el país, siendo la de mayor peso en su conjunto. Asimismo, postula que las personas trabajadoras del sector público recurren predominantemente a repertorios de acción institucional para plantear sus demandas, aunque esta tendencia se modifica en períodos de intensificación de la contienda política. Por último, las demandas muestran un doble carácter en tanto los reclamos de tipo gremial/sectorial relacionados con la defensa de las condiciones laborales persisten como los principales, pero sumados a demandas de carácter general referidas a campañas contra políticas de corte neoliberal y en defensa de la institucionalidad pública.

La investigación se basa primariamente en la realización de entrevistas durante el año 2019, a más de quince personas directamente vinculadas a los repertorios y procesos de diálogo que se entablaron en la huelga, dando como resultado una visión difícil y cerrada de los mecanismos institucionales para canalizar las demandas.
Genealogía de los procesos de subjetivación en un barrio popular de Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Ghisiglieri Francisco 
Published: August 2022

El artículo analiza las transformaciones que acontecieron en Villa Barranca Yaco (Córdoba, Argentina) en la década de 1970: las prácticas de subjetivación que preexistieron al golpe de Estado de 1976, las mutaciones sociales que se empezaron a producir y el sentido estratégico que las mismas tuvieron para el desarrollo posterior del neoliberalismo. La genealogía, como marco teórico metodológico, permitió construir inteligibilidad sobre las condiciones de posibilidad del presente, visibilizando las luchas que lo soportan. Se realizaron entrevistas a personas vinculadas al barrio y se hizo un análisis de fuentes secundarias. El trabajo da cuenta de una época previa al neoliberalismo con características opuestas a la fragmentación social del presente, un momento de activa organización comunitaria e intersectorial. Luego, el genocidio reorganizador generó una destitución de prácticas de subjetivación colectivizantes. Esta destitución se configura como una condición de posibilidad de una sociedad neoliberal organizada en torno al individualismo y la competencia.

Published: August 2022

En este trabajo, se exploran los discursos sobre sexualidad que, en el contexto de la pandemia de covid-19, se (re)producen y circulan en las cuentas de Instagram de seis sexólogas argentinas que hacen educación sexual y divulgan su trabajo profesional a través de dicha red social. A partir de exploraciones etnográficas digitales se analizó como estas profesionales construyen un modo de narrar los saberes de la sexología en internet; despliegan actividades pedagógicas que las posicionan como nuevas referentes en el campo de la sexología nacional y configuran una red de “instagramers” que se dedican a la educación sexual.
A contested foundation of European integration: The free movement of labour
Authors: Farkas Beáta , Máté Andor , Rácz Tamás 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Since the eastern enlargement of the European Union (EU), the movement from east to west has become the main driver of intra-EU mobility. Recently, the free movement of labour has been contested not only in the debates around Brexit, but also in other receiving countries. It is not on the political agenda, but several studies have highlighted the economic and demographic effects of massive emigration in eastern EU Member States. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the functioning of free movement. Economic integration theory assumes that migration continues until wages are equalized in the receiving and sending countries. This paper analyses the perception of intra-EU mobility in the literature and empirically tests whether there is a relationship between the dynamism of income growth in the receiving (Germany, Austria and Spain) and sending (Central and Eastern European) countries, and the dynamism of migration. The empirical results do not support the neoclassical assumption that an equalization mechanism can function, even in the long run. To cope with recent challenges, this paper argues that free movement should not be considered as an element of a spontaneous market mechanism, but as an economic-political product, based on a constitutional order.

O presente estudo é fruto de um diagnóstico educacional realizado no Instituto Federal do Piauí – Campus Avançado Dirceu Arco Verde. Objetiva analisar percepções e conceitos de que os docentes do curso Técnico Subsequente em Administração, possuem acerca da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Para tanto, além de um mapeamento sistemático de bibliografia, realizou-se um estudo de campo, que teve como principal embasador, o questionário e entrevista realizados com seis dos nove docentes do supracitado Campus, por ocasião da realização do Diagnóstico Educacional, no ano de 2018. Também buscou-se construir um referencial teórico subsidiado por autores que versassem acerca dos saberes que se mostraram necessários à formação docente para a EPT. Percebeu-se que, mesmo fazendo parte da Rede Federal de Educação Tecnológica, os referidos docentes não dominam as bases conceituais da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, o que acaba refletindo no seu discurso e práxis docente.
