Contrasting yield responses at varying levels of shade suggest different suitability of crops for dual land-use systems: a meta-analysis
Authors: Laub Moritz , Pataczek Lisa , Feuerbacher Arndt , Zikeli Sabine , Högy Petra 
Published: June 2022

AbstractDespite the large body of research surrounding crop growth parameters, there is still a lack of systematic assessments on how harvestable yields of different crop types respond to varying levels of shading. However, with the advent of agrivoltaic systems, a technology that combines energy and food production, shade tolerance of cropping systems is becoming increasingly important. To address this research gap, a meta-analysis with data from two experimental approaches (intercropping and artificial shading with cloths, nets or solar panels) was performed. The aim was to quantitatively assess the susceptibility of different temperate crop types to increasing levels of shading. Crop type specific yield response curves were developed as a function of reduction in solar radiation, estimating relative crop yields compared to the unshaded controls. Only studies that reported reduction in solar radiation and crop yield per area in temperate and subtropical areas were included. The results suggested a nonlinear relationship between achieved crop yields and reduction in solar radiation for all crop types. Most crops tolerate reduced solar radiation up to 15%, showing a less than proportional yield decline. However, significant differences between the response curves of the following crop types existed: Berries, fruits and fruity vegetables benefited from reduction in solar radiation up to 30%. Forages, leafy vegetables, tubers/root crops, and C3 cereals initially showed less than proportional crop yield loss. In contrast, maize and grain legumes experienced strong crop yield losses even at low shade levels. The results provide a set of initial indicators that may be used in assessing the suitability of crop types for shade systems, and thus for agrivoltaic or other dual land-use systems. Detailed yield response curves, as provided by this study, are valuable tools in optimizing the output of annual crop components in these systems.

AbstractCurrent technology and rapidly evolving Three-dimensional (3D) and Four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound techniques with advanced High Definition live (HD live) application has made Fetal medicine accomplishable. The introduction of high-frequency probes and evolution from hand swept slice acquisition to mechanically oscillating to electronically oscillating transducers with complex post-processing algorithms has led to the visualization of 3D view or real-time 3D view (4D) of fetal structures. In this review, we present a rare antenatal case of duplication of the gall bladder, highlight the utility of 3D/4D imaging and HD live Silhouette aiding in better understanding anatomical relationships, diagnosis, and implication in counseling.
Anaphylaxis to drug excipients
Authors: Pfützner Wolfgang 
Published: June 2022

SummaryIn addition to the therapeutic agent, drugs contain excipients such as stabilizers, preservatives, solubilizers, or dyes, some of which are identical to additives in foods. Anaphylaxis to these excipients is probably an underestimated problem. After the first descriptions of anaphylactic reactions to drug excipients appeared more than 30 years ago, the number of corresponding reports has increased significantly over the years. However, a diagnostic gap exists in the clarification of drug allergic reactions when the index product is not known and/or is not available for testing. In the present work, individual excipients are presented as examples for which publications on anaphylaxis are available. Furthermore, the options of allergological testing both in vivo and in vitro are discussed. The pathogenesis of such reactions is still unresolved in many cases, and current concepts are briefly presented in the conclusion. With increasing knowledge about anaphylaxis to drug excipients, it is assumed that these can then be recognized more often and diagnostically clarified.
Die Rolle von vaginalem DHEA bei der Behandlung des genitourinären Syndroms der Menopause
Authors: Stute Petra 
Published: June 2022

ZusammenfassungDas genitourinäre Syndrom der Menopause (GSM) hat erhebliche negative Auswirkungen auf das Leben der betroffenen Frauen. Trotz der zunehmenden Zahl von GSM-Behandlungsmöglichkeiten, z. B. nichthormonelle Vaginalprodukte, vaginale Hormone (Östrogene, Dehydroepiandrosteron [DHEA], Prasteron), vaginale Lasertherapie, bleiben jedoch viele Frauen unbehandelt. Ziel eines Schweizer interdisziplinären GSM-Konsenstreffens im Jahr 2020 war es, Instrumente für das GSM-Management in der täglichen Praxis zu entwickeln: 1) einen GSM-Management-Algorithmus (personalisierte Medizin), 2) ein Kommunikationsinstrument für vaginales DHEA (Arzneimittel-Facts-Box) und 3) ein Kommunikationsinstrument zum Verständnis der Zulassungsbehörden und der Diskrepanz zwischen wissenschaftlichen Daten und Packungsbeilagen. Die Akzeptanz und Anwendbarkeit solcher Tools werden weiter untersucht werden.
Different Lengths of Percutaneous Transverse Iliosacral Screw in Geometric Osseous Fixation Pathway: A Finite-Element Analysis
Authors: Wu Qiong , Zhang Yuanzhi , Wang Shaobai , Liu Rui , Liu Gang 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the biomechanical performances of the sacroiliac screw fixation of the first sacral vertebra with different lengths of screws using the Finite-Element Method.

Methods
First, pelvic CT images were generated from a healthy volunteer, and multislice sagittal views were produced to determine the axis for the first sacral vertebra geometric osseous fixation pathway (GOFP). Subsequently, according to the geometric size and mechanical parameters of the iliosacral screw, the screw models with the same diameter of 7.3 mm and different lengths of 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm, 130 mm and 140 mm were built. Then the seven screws were assembled with the pelvic model. The maximum von Mises stress and the shape variables were evaluated for the pelvis and the screws.

Results
Results are shown for the pelvic and GOFP screw, respectively. The simulation results show that the maximum von Mises stress in the cortex of the pelvic ring of the pelvis with the 130-mm length screw is the lowest among the pelvic models with different screws. Moreover, the peak displacement of the pelvis with the 130-mm length screw is the smallest. These results indicate that under the standing condition, a 130-mm length screw can decrease the stress concentration and result in a more effective transfer of stress within the reconstructed pelvis. In addition, the displacement of the screw with a 130-mm length is the smallest among all the considered screws. The peak von Mises stresses in the 130-mm length screw and the cortex are still within a low and elastic range below the yielding strengths of the materials.

Conclusion
Through the finite element analysis, the GOFP can be used as a safe and effective way for iliosacral screw fixation. The optimal length of the screw may be 130 mm length.
Fault diagnosis of industrial robot based on dual-module attention convolutional neural network
Authors: Lu Kaijie , Chen Chong , Wang Tao , Cheng Lianglun , Qin Jian 
Published: June 2022

AbstractFault diagnosis plays a vital role in assessing the health management of industrial robots and improving maintenance schedules. In recent decades, artificial intelligence-based data-driven approaches have made significant progress in machine fault diagnosis using monitoring data. However, current methods pay less attention to correlations and internal differences in monitoring data, resulting in limited diagnostic performance. In this paper, a data-driven method is proposed for the fault diagnosis of industrial robot reducers, that is, a dual-module attention convolutional neural network (DMA-CNN). This method aims to diagnose the fault state of industrial robot reducer. It establishes two parallel convolutional neural networks with two different attentions to capture the different features related to the fault. Finally, the features are fused to obtain the fault diagnosis results (normal or abnormal). The fault diagnosis effect of the DMA-CNN method and other attention models are compared and analyzed. The effectiveness of the method is verified on a dataset of real industrial robots.
“Dogmatism” and Dogmatism
Authors: Biro John 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe so-called paradox of dogmatism has it that it seems that one is both entitled and not entitled to ignore evidence against what one knows. By knowing something, one knows it to be true, and one also knows that there can be no non-misleading evidence against what is true. But to ignore evidence against what one believes – and, surely, one believes what one knows – is to be dogmatic, something one should not be. I argue that there is no genuine paradox here. One's attitude to evidence is governed not by what one knows but by what one thinks one knows. Thinking that one knows something does not entail that it is true. Knowing this, one knows that there may be non-misleading evidence against what one thinks one knows and should be open to examining what purports to be evidence against it.
“A Priest does not consider the toppling of the Shah as an option” The KGB and the revolution in Iran
Authors: Asinovskiy Dmitry 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates the activities of the KGB residency in Iran during the 1978–79 revolution and early years of the Islamic Republic. While some foreign experts were quick to point to the KGB as behind the revolution, it soon became clear that Soviet leadership and intelligence were no less surprised with the events than their counterparts in the West. However, this does not mean that Moscow did not see the revolution as an opportunity. The KGB served as one of the principal tools of Soviet attempts to influence the domestic situation in Iran and, although it achieved little in pursuing its goals, KGB activities in Iran reveal the extent to which binary Cold War thinking limited Soviet leadership in dealing with the challenge of the Iranian revolution.

Abstract
Although chronic pain (CP) is classified as inflammatory or non-inflammatory, the involvement of fatty acid intake in this process has not yet been examined in detail. Therefore, the present study investigated whether the relationship between CP and fatty acid intake differs between high and low C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in middle-aged and elderly individuals in the Shika study. One-thousand and seven males and 1216 females with mean ages of 68⋅78 and 69⋅65 years, respectively, participated in the present study. CRP was quantified by blood sampling from participants who responded to a CP questionnaire. The brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) was used to assess fatty acid intake. Interactions were observed between CP and CRP on monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and eicosadienoic acid in a two-way analysis of covariance adjusted for sex, age, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, current smoking and drinking status, and BMI. MUFA (OR 1⋅359) and eicosadienoic acid (OR 1⋅072) were identified as significant independent variables for CP in a multiple logistic regression analysis, but only in the low CRP group. Only a high intake of MUFA and eicosadienoic acid was associated with chronic neck/shoulder/upper limb pain without elevated CRP. In psychogenic and neuropathic pain without elevated CRP, an increased intake of MUFA and eicosadienoic acid, a family member of n-6 fatty acids, appears to affect CP. Further longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate this relationship.
Measuring Ethnic Inequality: An Assessment of Extant Cross-National Indices
Authors: Leipziger Lasse Egendal 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article offers an evaluation of cross-national measures of ethnic socio-economic inequality. It demonstrates that the measures differ in important ways regarding empirical scope, conceptualization, measurement and aggregation. Despite significant advances in the measurement of ethnic inequality, all measures have shortcomings, such as limited and biased coverage, as well as measurement error from the underlying data sources. Moreover, the empirical convergence between conceptually similar measures is strikingly low: some of the measures show no or even negative covariation. Four replication studies also indicate that extant measures of ethnic inequality are generally not interchangeable. Scholars should therefore take the various features highlighted in this evaluation into account before employing any of them. Based on this conclusion, the article offers multiple suggestions for improving existing measures and developing new ones.
Diversity and distribution of ectoparasite taxa associated with Micaelamys namaquensis (Rodentia: Muridae), an opportunistic commensal rodent species in South Africa

Published: June 2022

AbstractSouth Africa boasts a rich diversity of small mammals of which several are commensal and harbour parasites of zoonotic importance. However, limited information is available on the parasite diversity and distribution associated with rodents in South Africa. This is particularly relevant for Micaelamys namaquensis (Namaqua rock mouse), a regionally widespread and locally abundant species that is often commensal. To address the paucity of data, the aims of the study were to record the ectoparasite diversity associated with M. namaquensis and develop distribution maps of lice and mites associated with M. namaquensis and other rodents in South Africa. Micaelamys namaquensis individuals (n = 216) were obtained from 12 localities representing multiple biomes during 2017–2018. A total of 5591 ectoparasites representing 5 taxonomic groups – fleas, lice, mesostigmatid mites, chiggers and ticks was recorded. These consisted of at least 57 taxa of which ticks were the most speciose (20 taxa). Novel contributions include new host and locality data for several ectoparasite taxa and undescribed chigger species. Known vector species were recorded which included fleas (Ctenocephalides felis, Dinopsyllus ellobius and Xenopsylla brasiliensis) and ticks (Haemaphysalis elliptica, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipicephalus simus). Locality records indicate within-taxon geographic differences between the 2 louse species and the 2 most abundant mite species. It is clear that M. namaquensis hosts a rich diversity of ectoparasite taxa and, as such, is an important rodent species to monitor in habitats where it occurs in close proximity to humans and domestic animals.
A fast and accurate transfer alignment method without relying on the empirical model of angular deformation
Authors: Yang Jie , Wang Xinlong , Ding Xiaokun , Wei Qing , Shen Liangliang 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper, in allusion to the limitations of traditional transfer alignment methods based on the external measurement equipment or the empirical model of angular deformation, proposes a rapid and accurate transfer alignment method without relying on the empirical angular deformation model. Firstly, the relationship between the actual angular deformation and the angular velocities measured by the gyroscopes in the master and slave inertial navigation systems (INSs) is derived to roughly estimate the angular deformation. Secondly, according to the error characteristics of gyroscopes, the error model of angular deformation is established. Thirdly, expanding the angular deformation error instead of the installation error angle, flexure angle and flexure angle rate into the state vector, a low-order transfer alignment filtering model independent of the empirical angular deformation model is established. The proposed method not only gets rid of the dependence on an empirical angular deformation model, but also realises the rapid and accurate initial alignment of the slave INS without adding any external measurement equipment. The simulations and experiments evidence the validity of the proposed transfer alignment method.
A myth of modernity: the market hall reforms in China, 1900s–1940s
Authors: Wang Gang 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAs a result of the new approach to municipal food supply adopted in European cities, the market hall first appeared in China in the foreign concessions in Shanghai in the late nineteenth century. While some municipal governments across China had stimulated an increase in the number of market halls constructed from the beginning of the early twentieth century, the introduction of market halls did not achieve the effects that the authorities expected. Although market hall reforms in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu were different in detail, they were similar inasmuch as market halls did not become a regular feature of the daily life of the three cities. However, municipal governments continued to promote the market hall reforms despite their limited achievements and resistance from the public. The main purpose of Chinese municipal governments to promote market halls was not to solve practical problems, but to establish the market hall as a symbol of modernity. While the concessions in Shanghai managed by the westerners had already initiated a form of modernity, other Chinese cities responded by exhibiting a particular appreciation of the myth of modernity, and Chinese cities underwent as swift a process of modernization as the foreign concessions.
EDS Microanalysis of Unhydrated Blast Furnace Slag Grains in Field Concrete with Different Service Life
Authors: Zhang Yu , Saravanakumar Karthikeyan , Çopuroğlu Oğuzhan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Because the essential quality metrics of blast furnace slag are based on its oxide composition, the determination of chemical compositions of unhydrated slag grains in an aged concrete could be useful for understanding its past performance and in predicting the remaining service life of existing slag-bearing concrete. In this research, the authors explored the feasibility of using standard-based energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) microanalysis, in tandem with electron imaging, as a tool for quantitative measurement of the chemical composition of blast furnace slag grains in cement/concrete. In the experimental study, seven concrete samples representing various service life durations were collected in the Netherlands. The microanalysis results of the samples revealed that the change in slag chemistry is insignificant for samples B (1985) to F (2006); however, elevated CaO and SiO2 contents are found in slag used for sample G (2015), opposite to that of Al2O3 and MgO. After discussing compositional characterization, the paper discusses favorable microanalysis protocols for acceptable elemental quantification accuracy. It was concluded that quantitative EDS microanalysis is a strong tool to characterize the chemical composition of unhydrated slag used in field concrete, which could potentially contribute to understanding the correlations between composition and long-term performance in slag concrete structures.
International criminalization and the historical emergence of international crimes
Authors: Randhawa Suwita Hani 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article examines international criminalization, the process by which particular acts come to be established as international crimes in world politics. While international legal scholars suggest international criminalization constitutes a legal process that centres on international legal codification, this article argues, by drawing upon the insights of constructivist International Relations scholarship, that it is better conceived as a social process. More specifically, the process of international criminalization involves the development of an international social consensus on international criminality, which takes hold in international society following diplomatic negotiations between social actors. Furthermore, international criminalization embraces a two-stage process that requires, firstly, the emergence of an international criminal norm and secondly, the translation of that norm into an international legal proscription. Using these conceptual insights, the article analyses, through a close analysis of international archival documents, the historical emergence of genocide, in order to demonstrate how its proposed conceptualization of international criminalization can better explain how and why this act was specifically established as an international crime. In doing so, the article offers an alternative account of genocide's criminalization which, unlike the existing literature, goes some way towards uncovering the processes of social construction that informed its establishment as an international crime.

AbstractThe greening of the Earth over the last decades is predominantly indicated by the enhancements of leaf area index (LAI). Quantifying the relative contribution of multiple determinants, especially changes in climate and in land management changes (LMC), remains an arduous challenge. To solve this problem, we develop a simple yet novel data‐driven method, called the Paired Land Use Experiment (PLUE), for mesoscale analysis. Using PLUE, we analyze vegetation development of the Sanjiang Plain, a transboundary plain between China and Russia, with roughly homogeneous climate but with distinct land management practices across the border‐intensified agricultural development on China side (CNSP) versus largely little‐disturbed natural vegetation on Russia side (RUSP). Both CNSP and RUSP LAI show significant trends (p < 0.05), with the annual variability reaching values of 9.8 × 10−3 yr−1 and 11.3 × 10−3 yr−1, respectively. However, in CNSP, the LAI increase is concentrated in the middle of the year, especially in five 8‐day periods from 26 June to 28 July. During this period, the LAI trend of CNSP is much higher than that of RUSP, at 92.7 × 10−3 yr−1 (p < 0.01) and 43.8 × 10−3 yr−1 (p < 0.01), respectively. Meanwhile, LAI decreased in CNSP at the begging and end of the growing season. The results show that different LMC practices lead to notably different seasonal variability in vegetation changes. The PLUE method offers a new potential tool in driver identification of vegetation greenness change based on observations. We argue for the necessity of parameterizing these different LMC in Earth system models.
