Hydrodynamic approach to two-dimensional electron systems
Authors: Narozhny Boris N. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe last few years have seen an explosion of interest in hydrodynamic effects in interacting electron systems in ultra-pure materials. One such material, graphene, is not only an excellent platform for the experimental realization of the hydrodynamic flow of electrons, but also allows for a controlled derivation of the hydrodynamic equations on the basis of kinetic theory. The resulting hydrodynamic theory of electronic transport in graphene yields quantitative predictions for experimentally relevant quantities, e.g., viscosity, electrical conductivity, etc. Here I review recent theoretical advances in the field, compare the hydrodynamic theory of charge carriers in graphene with relativistic hydrodynamics and recent experiments, and discuss applications of hydrodynamic approach to novel materials beyond graphene.
Humour Against Binge Drinking During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cartoon-Based Anti-Alcohol Health Campaign Targeting Women-Who-Have-Sex-With-Women
Authors: Greijdanus Hedy , van der Voorn Maaike 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis study focuses on the role of humour in health and well-being of women-who-have-sex-with-women (WSW) during COVID-19. This group has been shown to be vulnerable to alcohol abuse, especially as self-medication coping with social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated the potential usefulness of WSW-inclusive (i.e., depicting a female-female romantic couple) versus hetero-normative (i.e., depicting a male-female romantic couple) humorous cartoons in an anti-alcohol health campaign against excessive drinking among WSW. One-hundred-and-twenty-seven self-categorized WSW of diverse genders (woman, non-binary) and sexual orientations (e.g., lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer, heterosexual) participated in a 2 × 2 factorial between-participants design. Data were collected during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in The Netherlands. Humorous cartoons explicitly referring to lockdown measures systematically varied the humour subject (punchline about excessive drinking versus staying sober) and the couple (male-female, female-female) that were depicted. Although the (very brief) health message did not influence binge drinking determinants, the humorous health campaign depicting a female-female couple was perceived as more inclusive and evoked more amusement and less anger than when the cartoons depicted a male-female couple. High WSW identifiers were less amused about the health campaign text (but not the cartoons), less likely to share campaign materials offline (but not online), and had more positive binge drinking attitudes but lower binge drinking intentions than low identifiers. Implications are discussed.
Developing and Evaluating Simplified Tools for Image Processing in a Problem-Based Learning Environment for Earth Observation
Authors: Hodam Henryk , Rienow Andreas , Juergens Carsten 
Published: July 2022

AbstractEarth observation is an interdisciplinary field of application. This makes it ideal for supporting natural science education in schools. Understanding satellite data can enable students to see more than just “beautiful images”. They can gain insights into an exciting field of application of many natural- and computer science fundamentals. In recent years, interactive lessons have been produced by our working group. They address the prospects and challenges connected with the teaching of earth observation topics in schools. The principles upon which the lessons are built promote a problem-based style of learning combined with a low impact in extraneous cognitive load for the students. Advances in web technology have made it necessary for interactive lessons to be redesigned and rethought. Contemporary web technologies have been selected and combined into an application framework to fulfill the requirements of our design principles and put a greater emphasis on usability during the content creation process. To allow offline usage of the learning modules it was tested whether this can be achieved using strictly client-side image processing. This article shows that, based on the technology stack used, lessons can be created that enable pupils to analyze remote sensing data in a much-simplified way. Using those simplified methods, a classification with an overall accuracy of 78.66% was achieved. The comparison of another simplified classification using just threshold values resulted in up to 89% probability to predict the outcome of a professionally produced dataset, making the simplified methods applicable in real-world examples presented in problem-based teaching scenarios.
CAM: an achievement model of celebrity
Authors: Boman Björn 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article does partly extend Duckworth’s achievement model and the significance of beauty, which appears to be linked to celebrity achievement. It presents a revised version of the grit model with an added attractiveness feature, labelled CAM (Celebrity Achievement Model), which may be useful when measuring, predicting, or explaining celebrity achievement, including both ‘macro-celebrities’ and ‘micro-celebrities’. Then, the results of a survey study on celebrity attractiveness (N = 183 respondents on 10 celebrities) and another similar study (N = 121 respondents on 55 celebrities) are highlighted. The findings suggest that beauty is moderately linked to higher achievement among celebrities and that rather different celebrities have higher-than-average levels of attractiveness. Celebrity net worth and Instagram following are highly intercorrelated.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPredictive maintenance (PdM) cannot only avoid economic losses caused by improper maintenance but also maximize the operation reliability of product. It has become the core of operation management. As an important issue in PdM, the time between failures (TBF) prediction can realize early detection and maintenance of products. The reliability information is the main basis for TBF prediction. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to establish an intelligent TBF prediction model for complex mechanical products. The reliability information conversion method is used to solve the problems of reliability information collection difficulty, high collection cost and small data samples in the process of TBF prediction based on reliability information for complex mechanical products. The product reliability information is fully mined and enriched to obtain more reliable and accurate TBF prediction results. Firstly, the Fisher algorithm is employed to convert the reliability information to expand the sample, and the compatibility test is also discussed. Secondly, BP neural network is used to realize the final prediction of TBF, and PSO algorithm is used to optimize the initial weight and threshold of BP neural network to avoid falling into local extreme value and improve the convergence speed. Thirdly, the mean-absolute-percentage-error and the Coefficient of determination are selected to evaluate the performance of the proposed model and method. Finally, a case study of TBF prediction for a remanufactured CNC milling machine tool (XK6032-01) is studied in this paper, and the results show that the feasibility and superiority of the proposed TBF prediction method.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundErectile dysfunction (ED) is an adverse effect of many medications.AimWe used a national pharmacovigilance database to assess which medications had the highest reported frequency of ED.MethodsThe Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was queried to identify medications with the highest frequency of ED adverse event reports from 2010 to 2020. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and testosterone were excluded because these medications are often used as treatments for men with ED. The 20 medications with the highest frequency of ED were included in the disproportionality analysis.OutcomesProportional Reporting Ratios (PRRs) and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated.ResultsThe 20 medications accounted for 6,142 reports of ED. 5-α reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) and neuropsychiatric medications accounted for 2,823 (46%) and 2,442 (40%) of these reports respectively. Seven medications showed significant levels of disproportionate reporting with finasteride and dutasteride having the highest PRRs: 110.03 (103.14–117.39) and 9.40 (7.83–11.05) respectively. The other medications are used in a wide variety of medical fields such as cardiology, dermatology, and immunology.Clinical ImplicationsPhysicians should be familiar with these medications and understand their respective mechanisms of action, so that they may counsel patients appropriately and improve their quality of life.Strengths and LimitationsThe strength of the study is its large sample size and that it captures pharmacologic trends on a national level. Quantitative and comparative “real-world” data is lacking for the most common medications associated with ED. The limitation is that the number of reported events does not establish causality and cannot be used to calculate ED incidence rates.ConclusionIn a national pharmacovigilance database, 5-ARIs and neuropsychiatric medications had the highest reports of ED adverse effects. There were many other medications used in a variety of medical fields that were also associated with ED.

Published: July 2022

Introduction Drones can transmit live video and geographic coordinates during the planning stages for search and rescue operations and the operations themselves. There are few simulation studies in which drones provided rescue support. However, the literature does not contain any simulation studies involving the use of drones to locate lost “victims” represented by dummies in rivers. We developed a simulation model to compare the first visual contact times for drone-assisted search techniques (DAST) and classic search techniques (CST). Methods In this prospective experimental simulation study, we used both DAST and CST to perform a series of river searches for unconscious victims (represented by dummies). We calculated the first visual contact times, total scanned area, scanned area per minute, flight-walking distances, and flight-walking speeds and compared the results between both groups. The data are presented as mean±SD. Results We performed 20 search and rescue operations, 10 with the CST and 10 with the DAST. The time to reach the victim was 823±177 s using CST and 80±14 s using DAST. The area scanned by unit time was 3091±54 m2·min-1 using CST and 22,640±1622 m2·min-1 using DAST. Conclusions The drone-assisted search technique located a simulated victim drifting in a river faster than the classic search technique. The use of drones in search and rescue operations could improve the time to find victims.
Towards Dismantling Patriarchy in the Kibera Slum, Kenya: Narrative Accounts of Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Kariuki L. W. , Jansen van Rensburg S. K. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractKibera is the largest informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, and Africa’s largest urban informal settlement. It is a community plagued by poverty and unemployment. In response to the social disorganization common to informal settlements, criminal activity is rampant, particularly in assault and sexual violence cases. Patriarchal beliefs fuel power imbalances which consequently perpetuate violence. Kenyan societies tend to be traditionally patriarchal and characterized by male privilege and female subservience. This article explores the narrative accounts of female victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) to overcome patriarchy in Kibera, Kenya. Through a qualitative inquiry, 32 female victims of IPV were interviewed, and the data obtained were thematically analysed. The findings established that patriarchy is sustained in Kibera through control, dominance and violence. Additionally, salient partakers in advancing patriarchy are family structures and authorities. Moreover, strategies to dismantle patriarchy and IPV are proposed through these narrative accounts.
Vernalization required to induce flowering in rosettes of garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
Authors: Katovich Elizabeth J. , Katovich Erik S. , Becker Roger L. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractGarlic mustard [Alliaria petiolata (M. Bieb.) Cavara & Grande] is an invasive Brassicaceae species native to Europe. As obligate biennials, A. petiolata rosettes require a sufficient length of cold during the winter to flower the following spring. As such, mild winter temperatures could limit the species’ potential western and southern distribution in North America. The goal of this research was to characterize the vernalization period required for A. petiolata rosettes to develop the capacity to flower. The objectives of this research were: (1) confirm whether A. petiolata rosettes required a vernalization period to flower; (2) define base and upper temperatures that satisfy the vernalization requirement of A. petiolata rosettes under field conditions; (3) determine the vernalization requirement for flowering and calculate chilling degree days (CDD) accumulated during the cold period; and (4) in a common garden, determine the vernalization requirement of A. petiolata rosettes collected from the southern and northern ranges of its distribution in North America and Europe. The probability of flowering increases as A. petiolata rosettes accumulate CDD. This relationship is defined by a binary logistic (logit) function, with base and maximum temperatures of −3 and 4 C, respectively. The regression equation model predicted that 68 and 120 CDD would result in 50% and 99% probability of flowering, respectively, across all locations. Rosettes from five different seed sources varied in the CDD required for flowering when grown in a common garden. Rosettes originating from a Croatia seed source flowered after exposure to fewer CDD than those from Scotland. In North America, rosettes originating from seeds from Arkansas were more likely to flower after exposure to fewer CDD than those from Ohio or Minnesota. Our results may be used to predict the potential distribution of A. petiolata in North America.
Marche Triomphale: A Forgotten Musical Tract in Qajar-European Encounters
Authors: Mohammadi Mohsen 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article introduces Julius Heise’s Marche Triomphale which reveals a history that was eliminated during the nineteenth century race theory publications. Beginning with an account of Iranians’ encounters with European military music, this article provides a brief history of Iranian military bands in European style, or the bands of muzikānchiān. It then addresses racial motivations behind a short account on Iranian music in 1885 by Victor Advielle, a French administrator. Arthur de Gobineau’s race theories were fashionable in nineteenth century Europe, and Victor Advielle used his fellow Artesian, Alfred Lemaire, to prove their racial superiority. Through Advielle’s account, Lemaire became the main figure of European music in Iran in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The article proceeds with biographical information on two European musicians, Marco Brambilla (d.1867 in Tehran) and Julius Heise (d.1870 in Tehran), and uncovers the earliest known piece published for the bands of muzikānchiān: Marche Triomphale, À Sa Majesté Impériale Nassir-Ed-Din Shah Kadjar de Perse.
Representing Male Disability in Colombian Audiovisual Media: The Masking of Social and Political Intersections inLos informantes
Authors: García León David L. , García León Javier E. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article examines the discursive construction of male disability inLos informantes, a national Colombian TV show. By combining critical discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, and queer linguistics with (critical) disability studies and crip theory, it examines three TV reports that narrate the lives of a physically disabled Venezuelan migrant, a young Colombian with Down syndrome, and a physically disabled Colombian living in Great Britain. The analysis shows thatLos informantesrelies on inspirational and individualistic imagery that conceals the role of the neoliberal state in debilitating the lives of these men. By using a set of linguistic, visual, and discursive strategies (the supercrip figure, narrative prosthesis, and inclusionist profitability, among others), the reports mask the social and political aspects of disability. This study contributes to understanding the intersection between language, dis/ability, sexuality, and media in Latin America and questions dominant discursive constructions on disability.
Linguistic and nonlinguistic evaluation of motion events in a path-focused language

Published: July 2022

AbstractThis study examines how properties of path (the trajectory of motion) and manner (how an action is performed) components of motion events are reflected in linguistic and nonlinguistic motion event conceptualization in a path-focused language, Turkish. In two experiments, we investigated how path and manner differed in salience (i.e., prominence) and ease of expression (EoE, i.e., effort of describing), and how these factors were related to lexicalization and similarity judgments of motion events. In Experiment 1, participants rated motion events based on path and manner salience and EoE and expressed path and manner in a written format. Results indicated that manner was rated as more salient and path as easier to express. Path salience and EoE were related to both types (i.e., number of different expressions) and the total number of paths and manners used. However, manner EoE but not salience was associated with only types and the total number of manners used. In Experiment 2, participants rated the similarity of motion event pairs created using the ratings in Experiment 1. We found that higher manner salience and EoE difference were associated with lower similarity ratings. These findings suggest that salience and EoE of path and manner are related to both linguistic and nonlinguistic aspects of motion event conceptualization.
Peasant frontiers as a research strategy: peasant resilience and the reproduction of common land rights
Authors: Cottyn Hanne , Vanhaute Eric , Beeckaert Esther 
Published: July 2022

AbstractCommon land rights are nowadays identified as a pivotal action terrain for building sustainable development and climate resilience. This often leads to an idealisation of these common land systems and the people that manage them. This article presents a research strategy that elaborates on the notion of frontiers to unpack peasant resilience and common land rights as the outcome of a long history of peasant adaptation, resistance and self-reinvention within a globalising world. It presents an empirical comparative analysis of common land rights in European and Andean peasant communities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
American Political Development as a Problem-Driven Enterprise
Authors: Galvin Daniel J. , Thurston Chloe N. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractWe argue that American political development's (APD's) relentless preoccupation with the substantive problems that shape and animate American politics and how they emerge and develop over time has been a key source of the subfield's durability. We elaborate on three main payoffs to conceptualizing APD as a problem-driven enterprise: (1) it highlights APD's main comparative advantage within the American politics subfield, noting the tremendous agility APD's substantive breadth lends the enterprise; (2) it resolves the methodological debate, granting simply that the question chooses the method rather than the other way around; and (3) it reorients the critique: simply because a subfield considers itself to be problem-oriented does not mean that it is identifying the right problems to study.

Published: July 2022

AbstractWe sought to elucidate the risk profiles of patients with Kawasaki disease who developed coronary artery abnormalities through a retrospective analysis with special reference to steroid treatment. Demographics of the patients were obtained from medical records, and characteristics of the coronary artery abnormalities were evaluated by echocardiography and coronary angiography, which included number, location, size, and length of coronary artery abnormalities (we evaluated by cardiac catheterisation with the American Heart Association classification with segments). We divided the patients into two groups based on steroid use and compared their characteristics and the complications of coronary artery abnormalities and cardiac events. A total of 29 patients were diagnosed with coronary artery abnormalities by echocardiography and coronary angiography during the study period (24 male; median age, 24 months [range: 2–84 months]). Eighteen patients were treated with aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin (63%, non-steroid group), whereas 11 received aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin plus steroids (37%, steroid group). No significant differences were found in the number and location of coronary artery abnormalities between the steroid and non-steroid groups. However, the size and number of segments for coronary artery abnormalities were significantly larger and shorter, respectively, in the steroid group (z-score: non-steroid group 6.3 versus steroid group 8.7; p < 0.01). The coronary artery abnormality segments under steroid use were also shorter (non-steroid group versus steroid group, two segments versus one segment; p = 0.02). Coronary artery abnormality size was larger in patients who used steroids than that of non-steroids. This study showed that steroid use significantly affected coronary artery abnormality size in patients with Kawasaki disease. However, cardiac complications from coronary artery abnormalities and cardiac events were comparable between the steroid and non-steroid groups. Further prospective, multicentre studies are needed to confirm these findings.
An outstanding message of hope: the WHO World Mental Health Report 2022
Authors: Saraceno Benedetto , Caldas de Almeida José Miguel 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe new WHO World Health Report on Mental Health includes a comprehensive and updated assessment of the current mental health situation at the global level, a critical and well-documented reflexion on the progresses achieved and the failures registered in global mental health, and an indication of the paths and strategies that should be prioritised to ensure the transformations that are urgently needed. The report offers significant enrichments on different areas like social determinants, premature mortality of persons suffering from mental disability, the negative aspects of the persistence of inpatient institutions, the role of people with lived experience as important agents of change, the importance of child and adolescent mental health. The present Editorial stresses the importance of Deinstitutionalisation as a cross-cutting element ofallhealth policy, plans, budgeting and service organisation and draws attention to the fact that the ubiquitous persistence of large psychiatric institutions is a clear indicator that reality is far from declarations despite the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability.
