Abstract
Impacts of energetic C60 ions with energies of the order of MeV are excellent ionization methods for highly sensitive secondary ion (SI) mass spectrometry because they can provide SIs necessary for the identification of target materials in high emission yields with high reproducibility. As part of an investigation into their SI emission phenomena with the aim of controlling the mass-analyzed depth range, we measured and characterized the impact angle dependence of SI mass spectra for MeV C60 ion impacts, and found that shallower angle impacts of MeV C60 ions can provide surface-sensitive information through intense emission of surface-derived SIs.

The Southern African Lepidoptera Conservation Assessment (SALCA) was a collaborative venture between the Lepidopterists’ Society of Africa (LepSoc Africa), the Brenton Blue Trust (BBT) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), and formed part of the National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA). SALCA was founded on the importance of Lepidoptera both ecologically and as biodiversity indicators and the proven expertise of the participants during the Southern African Butterfly Conservation Assessment (SABCA). The main outcomes of the SALCA project are presented and discussed here.The SALCA tool, a custom-designed interactive distribution database, enabled high quality data to be derived so that accurate conservation assessments could be produced in accordance with IUCN methodology. The Red Lists of SALCA and SABCA facilitated the first opportunity to calculate the Red List Index (RLI) for South African butterflies during the period from 2012–2018. Other metrics required for the NBA included protection level and threats analyses. A further outcome was the critical habitat mapping for butterflies, which formed part of a screening tool implemented by SANBI, to ensure that land use changes did not cause any further loss of butterfly biodiversity.A comprehensive distribution database was developed for South African moths, enabling data to be analysed so that moth species potentially threatened could be short-listed for further investigation.Geographical hotspots and ecosystems (vegetation types) containing butterflies of conservation concern are highlighted. The societal, economic and human wellbeing benefits of conserving Lepidoptera are identified. Responses by LepSoc Africa to the increasing pressures on South African Lepidoptera biodiversity, are also reported on and discussed. The significant outcomes of SABCA and SALCA are benchmarked against a well-known European butterfly atlasing and conservation assessment project.The 165 SALCA Red Lists and conservation assessments are presented at the end of this publication.

Accuracy of Gram-stained Smears as Screening Tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Khalid Mohamed Abdalla Ali 
Published: March 2022

Background and Objective: A total of 86.9 million persons worldwide are infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng). Although Gram-stained smears (GSS) provide a timeand cost-saving alternative to conventional laboratory tests, their global uptake partly depends on their performance. This study aimed to meta-analyze the diagnostic accuracy of GSS to screen for Ng. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted using the MEDLINE (1980 to 2020). Studies were included if they employed GSS to detect Ng in humans and compared the results with reference tests. Results: Eleven studies were reviewed and meta-analyzed and stratified by specimen type (Gram-stained urethral smears and Gram-stained endocervical, urethral swabs and urine smears.) and reference test type (culture method or NAAT). Sensitivity was similarly high in GSS versus NAAT (93% [CI, 64% to 99 %]) and GSS versus culture methods (87% [CI, 74% to 94%]), followed by Gram-stained urethral smears (97% [95% CI, 86% to 100%]) and Gram-stained endocervical, urethral swabs and urine smears (81% [CI, 67% to 90%]). Specificity was also high in GSS versus culture methods (98% [CI, 95% to 100%]) and GSS versus NAAT (94% [CI, 73% to 99%]), followed Gram-stained endocervical, urethral swabs and urine smears (98% [CI, 93% to 99%]) and Gram-stained urethral smears (96% [CI, 78% to 99%]). Conclusions: Data suggest that GSS have the highest accuracy when investigated against reference culture methods, and Gram-stained urethral smears have the highest accuracy, followed by Gram-stained endocervical, urethral swabs and urine smears. Given their accuracy, convenience, and quick turnaround time, GSS may be useful in expanding first-line screening Ng.

The psychotherapeutic change process in women who have been sexually assaulted: An examination of the schema therapy model
Authors: Korkmaz Burcu , Soygut Gonca 
Published: March 2022

AbstractSexual assault is one of the most challenging experiences to manage since it can have devastating effects on the individual's mental and physical health, and can cause many psychological problems, especially PTSD and depression. In this study, a psychotherapy process based on the schema therapy model was conducted with six women who were sexually assaulted in Turkey, and the psychotherapeutic change process was examined with both qualitative and quantitative methods. According to the descriptive results from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms Scale‐Self‐Report (PSS‐SR), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Symptom Check list‐90 (SCL‐90), the scores in the post‐test and follow‐up stages decreased compared to the pre‐test stage, and this decrease also had clinical significance for PSS‐SR both at post‐test (p < .05, .01 and .001 for each participant) and at follow‐up (p < .01 and .001 for each participant) stages. From the results of the narrative analysis, on the other hand, it was concluded that the psychotherapy process was completed in three stages (the introduction, the body, the conclusion); the participants conveyed the stories of some schema modes (the abused child, the punitive parent, the demanding parent, the angry‐protector, the avoidant and detached protector); and an important transitional stage was experienced (meeting the psychological needs, self‐awareness, self‐acceptance, self‐control and healthy boundaries, confrontation and normalisation) during the transformation of these stories into healthy adults. It is recommended that this discovered transitional stage is investigated in further schema therapy research. All findings are discussed in detail and a brief intervention protocol based on the schema therapy model is proposed.
Home‐visiting mental health professionals' differentiations between acceptable and unacceptable parent discipline behaviours in Hong Kong: A q‐study
Authors: Lam Ching Man , Ho Grace Wing Ka , Bressington Daniel 
Published: March 2022

AbstractHome‐visiting mental health professionals (HMHPs) have an important role in identifying suspected child maltreatment in the community. However, it is unclear how professionals in Hong Kong differentiate acceptable discipline behaviours from reportable forms of abuse, and how their characteristics may influence their view. This study examined HMHPs' views on acceptable versus unacceptable parent discipline behaviours. Using Q‐methodology, 50 HMHPs in Hong Kong sorted 52 statements on parent discipline behaviours along a continuum ranging from ‘Most Unacceptable’ to ‘Most Acceptable’. By‐person factor analysis was conducted to uncover prevailing views based on their sorts. Three unique viewpoints in differentiating discipline behaviours from abuse were uncovered, which varied based on how HMHPs prioritised children's physical safety, mental wellness and parental intention. Different views were supported by professionals with different characteristics and occupational backgrounds.
Ten years of riluzole use in a tertiary ALS clinic
Authors: Geronimo Andrew , Albertson Richard M. , Noto James , Simmons Zachary 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIntroduction/AimsRiluzole is a glutamate inhibitor approved for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). There are scant data on factors associated with riluzole initiation and adherence. The goal of this study was to describe the use of riluzole at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center (PSHMC) ALS clinic.MethodsA retrospective medical record review of ALS patients seen at the PSHMC from January 2007 to December 2016. A timeline of riluzole use was established for each patient. Factors contributing to dose changes or discontinuations were recorded. Riluzole adherence was assessed using the proportion of days covered (PDC) calculated by the patient‐reported length of riluzole use divided by total time from prescription to death/censor. Multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate the association of demography and clinical course with adherence.ResultsSeven hundred twenty‐three records were screened, with 508 (307 men, 201 women) meeting the criteria for inclusion. The median duration of riluzole use was 435 (range, 0‐3773) days. The median PDC for the group was 64%. Those with higher initial overall function and slower rate of decline were more likely to have a larger PDC. No trends in patients’ demographics, riluzole use, and tracheostomy‐free survival were found over time.DiscussionA high rate of riluzole initiation and adherence was found in this sample. The most common reasons for dose modification were related to adverse effects, yet social‐, economic‐, and patient‐related factors were also common. The characteristics of riluzole prescription and use have remained relatively unchanged in a single tertiary ALS center over the past 10 years.

AbstractWe report the first case of organizing pneumonia (OP) associated with a new coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) vaccination. A 78‐year‐old woman developed cough and dyspnoea 10 days after receiving BNT162b2. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed consolidation in the bilateral lower lobes of the lungs. Although antibiotic treatment did not improve her symptoms, she received a second vaccination as scheduled. She was referred to our hospital because of worsening dyspnoea on day 9 after the second vaccination, with reversed halo signs in the bilateral lower pulmonary lobes and new consolidation in the left lingual region on chest CT on day 15. She was diagnosed with OP based on bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial lung biopsy findings. Treatment with oral prednisolone 0.5 mg/kg/day immediately improved the symptoms and chest imaging findings. In the absence of other triggering factors, we considered this case as being COVID‐19 vaccine‐associated following the first and second vaccinations.
Soft spin correlations in final-state parton showers
Authors: Hamilton Keith , Karlberg Alexander , Salam Gavin P. , Scyboz Ludovic , Verheyen Rob 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
We introduce a simple procedure that resolves the long-standing question of how to account for single-logarithmic spin-correlation effects in parton showers not just in the collinear limit, but also in the soft wide-angle limit, at leading colour. We discuss its implementation in the context of the PanScales family of parton showers, where it complements our earlier treatment of the purely collinear spin correlations. Comparisons to fixed-order matrix elements help validate our approach up to third order in the strong coupling, and an appendix demonstrates the small size of residual subleading-colour effects. To help probe wide-angle soft spin correlation effects, we introduce a new declustering-based non-global spin-sensitive observable, the first of its kind. Our showers provide a reference for its single-logarithmic resummation. The work in this paper represents the last step required for final-state massless showers to satisfy the broad PanScales next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy goals.
Quantum activation functions for quantum neural networks
Authors: Maronese Marco , Destri Claudio , Prati Enrico 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe field of artificial neural networks is expected to strongly benefit from recent developments of quantum computers. In particular, quantum machine learning, a class of quantum algorithms which exploit qubits for creating trainable neural networks, will provide more power to solve problems such as pattern recognition, clustering and machine learning in general. The building block of feed-forward neural networks consists of one layer of neurons connected to an output neuron that is activated according to an arbitrary activation function. The corresponding learning algorithm goes under the name of Rosenblatt perceptron. Quantum perceptrons with specific activation functions are known, but a general method to realize arbitrary activation functions on a quantum computer is still lacking. Here, we fill this gap with a quantum algorithm which is capable to approximate any analytic activation functions to any given order of its power series. Unlike previous proposals providing irreversible measurement–based and simplified activation functions, here we show how to approximate any analytic function to any required accuracy without the need to measure the states encoding the information. Thanks to the generality of this construction, any feed-forward neural network may acquire the universal approximation properties according to Hornik’s theorem. Our results recast the science of artificial neural networks in the architecture of gate-model quantum computers.
‘What is music? Anything can be music’: Frank Zappa's theory of art
Authors: Marlow-Stevens Elliot 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of Frank Zappa's aesthetic values, drawing on two examples: his writing and his music. This paper examines Zappa's musical techniques and contextualises them within art criticism; Zappa's discussion of his own music and theories of art in The Real Frank Zappa Book (1989) further help align his work with contemporary aesthetic theories, namely those of Levinson (Music, Art, and Metaphysics, Oxford University Press, 2011) and Berleant (‘Further ruminations on music’, New Sound International Journal of Music, 50/2, pp. 129–37, 2017). Together, Zappa's techniques and his own testimony suggest an aesthetic standpoint underpinning his discography that emphasises referentiality as well as subjectivity and the role of the public in the musical experience. Indicating a more sympathetic view of popular opinion, distinct from the Adornian condemnation of mass culture with which Zappa is often attributed, this analysis of Zappa's aesthetic beliefs subsequently indicates a position sympathetic to both popular and avant-garde musics.
Suicide mortality among psychiatric patients in Northeast Italy: a 10-year cohort study

AbstractAimsThe present study investigated the relationship between suicide mortality and contact with a community mental health centre (CMHC) among the adult population in the Veneto Region (northeast Italy, population 4.9 million). Specifically, it estimated the effects of age, gender, time elapsed since the first contact with a CMHC, calendar year of diagnosis and diagnostic category on suicide mortality and modality.MethodsThe regional mortality archive was linked to electronic medical records for all residents aged 18–84 years who had been admitted to a CMHC in the Veneto Region in 2008. In total, 54 350 subjects diagnosed with a mental disorder were included in the cohort and followed up for a period of 10 years, ending in 2018. Years of life lost (YLL) were computed and suicide mortality was estimated as a mortality rate ratio (MRR).ResultsDuring the follow-up period, 4.4% of all registered deaths were from suicide, but, given the premature age of death (mean 52.2 years), suicide death accounted for 8.7% of YLL; this percentage was particularly high among patients with borderline personality disorder (27.2%), substance use disorder (12.1%) and bipolar disorder (11.5%) who also presented the highest suicide mortality rates. Suicide mortality rates were halved in female patients (MRR 0.45; 95% CI 0.37–0.55), highest in patients aged 45–54 years (MRR 1.56; 95% CI 1.09–2.23), and particularly elevated in the 2 months following first contact with CMHCs (MRR 10.4; 95% CI 5.30–20.3). A sensitivity analysis restricted to patients first diagnosed in 2008 confirmed the results. The most common modalities of suicide were hanging (47%), jumping (18%), poisoning (13%) and drowning (10%), whereas suicide from firearm was rare (4%). Gender, age at death and time since first contact with CMHCs influenced suicide modality.ConclusionsSuicide prevention strategies must be promptly initiated after patients’ first contact with CMHCs. Patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder and bipolar disorder may be at particularly high risk for suicide.
