The development of the encoding of deictic motion in the Bantu language Rangi: grammaticalisation and change
Authors: Gibson Hannah , Belkadi Aicha 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe close cross-linguistic relation between the domains of space and time has been well described. The frequent emergence of Tense-Aspect-Mood (TAM) markers from deictic motion verbs in particular, has also been extensively detailed in the literature. This paper focusses on the less well-known link between associated motion, a category of functional morphemes expressing (deictic) motion events, and TAM, in a language contact situation. Specifically, it provides a synchronic and diachronic description of three associated motion prefixes,joo-,tóó-andkoo-, found in the Tanzanian Bantu language Rangi, spoken in an area of high linguistic diversity. It proposes that the prefixjoo-encodes movement towards a deictic centre,tóó-encodes movement towards a goal which is not the deictic centre, andkoo-encodes movement away from a deictic centre. It further contends that whiletóó-andkoo-have maintained a purely deictic function,joo-has grammaticalised to assume an additional function whereby it encodes future tense, possibly aided by the absence of a dedicated future tense marker in the language. This three-way morphological encoding of spatial relations on the verb form is not a common characteristic of East African Bantu languages. However, this paper proposes that the system in Rangi can be accounted for on the basis of cross-linguistically widely attested pathways of grammatical change.
Electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS): a follow-up safety assessment of long-term usage
Authors: McCulloch Erin , Kumar Goothy Sai Sailesh , McKeown Jason 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

Objectives
This retrospective, open-label study was undertaken to assess the safety of repeated, long-term electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS). The primary outcome for this study was assessment of hearing function as reported by formal audiometry testing.

Methods
Assessments were conducted on n=25 long-term users of daily 1.5 mA VeNS. Skin inspection of the mastoid area, otoscope examination of the inner ear, and formal audiometry testing was conducted on n=18 users. All participants completed a survey-based assessment to determine usage of the device, adverse events, and long-term outcomes.

Results
Mean duration of use was 22 months, with approximately 80% of users reporting 1 h of daily, or 1 h of regular (2–3 times per week) VeNS usage. No adverse events were reported. There were no significant findings during examination of the mastoid areas, ear canal, or tympanic membranes. There were no significant findings reported from the formal audiogram assessments.

Conclusions
This appears to be the first study to provide formal assessment to show that repeated, long-term VeNS usage has not generated any significant side effects or adverse events. Results from this study further support previous literature that electrical vestibular stimulation is both safe and well-tolerated.
Linear Rescaling to Accurately Interpret Logarithms
Authors: Huntington-Klein Nick 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The standard approximation of a natural logarithm in statistical analysis interprets a linear change of p in ln(X) as a (1 + p) proportional change in X, which is only accurate for small values of p. I suggest base-(1 + p) logarithms, where p is chosen ahead of time. A one-unit change in log1 + p
(X) is exactly equivalent to a (1 + p) proportional change in X. This avoids an approximation applied too broadly, makes exact interpretation easier and less error-prone, improves approximation quality when approximations are used, makes the change of interest a one-log-unit change like other regression variables, and reduces error from the use of log(1 + X).
Cervical cancer screening among women with comorbidities: a cross-sectional examination of disparities from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Authors: Austin Jordyn , Delgado Paul , Gatewood Ashton , Enmeier Mackenzie , Frantz Brooke , Greiner Benjamin , Hartwell Micah 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

Context
Implementation of guideline-based Papanicolaou (Pap) smear screening, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, and HPV vaccination has reduced cervical cancer (CC) rates up to 80%, yet prevention disparities continue to exist.

Objectives
This study aims to analyze whether CC screening rates differ among women with comorbidities—body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), arthritis, kidney disease, depression, or skin cancer—compared to women without these comorbidities.

Methods
Combined 2018 and 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) datasets were evaluated utilizing multivariate logistic regression models to determine the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) of persons having completed CC screening without comorbidities compared to those with individual diagnoses, as well as in those with multiple comorbidities (1, 2–4, 5+). Confidence intervals (CIs) were reported at 95%.

Results
Among the 127,057 individuals meeting inclusion criteria, 78.3% (n = 83,242; n = 27,875,328) met CC screening guidelines. Multivariable regression showed that women who had a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 were significantly less likely to have completed a CC screening (AOR: 0.90; CI: 0.83–0.97) as were those with COPD (AOR: 0.77; CI: 0.67–0.87) and kidney disease (AOR: 0.81; CI: 0.67–0.99). Conversely, women with skin cancer were significantly more likely to report CC screening (AOR: 1.22; CI: 1.05–1.43). We found no significant differences in CC screening completion rates by diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, or depression nor between women lacking comorbidities compared to women with multiple comorbidities.

Conclusions
Women with BMI ≥30 kg/m2, COPD, and kidney disease were less likely to complete CC screening, whereas women with skin cancer were more likely to complete CC screening. Additionally, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and depression diagnoses did not significantly impact rates of CC screening. Physicians should be aware of the deviations in CC screening completion among patients with diagnoses to know when there may be an increased need for Pap tests and pelvic examinations. CC screening is critical to reduce mortality through early detection and prevention measures.

Divine Command Metaethics. Anmerkungen zu einer Debatte innerhalb der analytischen Religionsphilosophie
Authors: Klinge Hendrik 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The command of God seems to play hardly any role in Kant’s moral philosophy. Yet, in recent years, representatives of so-called Divine Command Metaethics have attempted to claim Kant for their thesis that morality depends on divine commands. Quite obviously, numerous passages from Kant’s writings can be cited against this view. At the same time, however, it is possible to find arguments which suggest that Kant grants divine commands a greater function in laying the foundations of ethics than is generally assumed. The present paper examines the arguments which can be made for and against the hypothesis that Kant’s moral philosophy represents a variant of Divine Command Metaethics. The result shows that in Kant’s later work an attempt is made to reconcile the autonomy of moral subjects with the idea that morality has a religious basis in God’s command.

Abstract

A novel device for fast visualisation of gas-liquid two-phase flows was developed and tested during loss-off-coolant accident simulations at the thermal hydraulic test facility PSBVVER, a 1 : 300 integral model of the VVER-1000. The device is an ultrasonic mesh sensor. It consists of a metallic frame where transmitter and receiver wave-guides are fixed, that form two grids inside the measurement cross section. Ultrasonic pulses are transmitted into the fluid by the 8 wave-guides of the first plane. A second plane of another 8 wave-guides, that cross the ones of the first plane under an angle of 90 deg, serves as receives. The measurement is based on the acoustic conductivity of the two-phase mixture at the locations where the wave-guides cross. The sampling frequency is 250 frames per second. This allows both void fraction measurements and a fast flow visualisation. The sensor is applicable to high pressures and temperatures. All parts and surfaces that are in contact with the fluid are manufactured from stainless steel. During the tests at PSB-VVER the flow pattern in the hot leg of the primary circuit model was visualised for the first time.
Needle shaped conductivity probes with integrated micro-thermocouple and their application in rapid condensation experiments with non-condensable gases

Published: March 2022

Abstract

The present paper deals with advanced conductivity probes for local void measurements, which were equipped with a microthermocouple, which is integrated into the probe at the place of the electrode wire. These probes were used for rapid transient condensation tests in a heat exchanger pipe immersed into a cooling water tank. The experiments serve as data sources for the validation of thermal-hydraulic system codes concerning the modelling of the condensation, particularly with respect to the behaviour and effect of non-condensable gases. The present tests were carried out at the pressurizer test facility DHVA of the University for Applied Sciences in Zittau/Görlitz, IPM serving as steam source. The slightly downwards inclined condensation tube was connected to the head of the pressure vessel and supplied with steam in this way. The application of a new type of two-phase instrumentation has revealed details about the transient condensation process. Since tests were performed with and without the presence of a non-condensable gas (air), the effect of the gas could be studied. The merits of the probes lie in the ability to distinguish between steam and gas. Without the synchronous temperature and void measurement performed by the probes it would have not been possible to clarify the physical background of the temperature jumps found during the experiments with the non-condensable gas.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
A method for the determination of Sr-89/-90 in different types of environmental samples (German IMIS program) was to be adopted to the 2nd Saxon state laboratory for environmental radioactivity. Resulting from literature studies a combination of variable extraction steps for Y and Sr was chosen to be able for determining Sr-90 or Sr-89/-90 in a common as well as a rapid way. Measurements with a liquid-scintillation counter (LSC) and a low-background proportional counter (LBC) were performed after the same chemical separation steps in each case to find out the detector which is the best suitable one for our requirements. Different steps of the analytical procedure are discussed in detail and its characteristic parameters are given.
Global Justice Advocacy, Trade Unions, and the Supply Chain Law Initiative in Germany
Authors: Çelik Ercüment , Schmid Simon Norbert 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This article focuses on the Supply Chain Law Initiative in Germany (SCLI)/Initiative Lieferkettengesetz as a case of global justice advocacy. The SCLI was a campaign by German civil society organizations that advocated for a law that would make it mandatory for corporations active in Germany to respect human, labor, and environmental rights along their supply chains. This research explores the strategies for advocacy used by the SCLI in the process of effective law-making. It also investigates the role of the SCLI in the context of global labor solidarity. The research results show that although this new law has some shortcomings in terms of international human rights standards, it has achieved partial progress as one of the most successful examples of alliance building between unions and civil society organizations in Germany. The SCLI has brought about a paradigm shift from voluntary towards mandatory due diligence. This experience can be carried one step further to accomplish a supply chain law at the European Union level. The authors argue that the SCLI experience opens up a new stage for rethinking the structural dilemma of unions in Germany in choosing between global solidarity and national corporatist social partnership.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has the advantages of fast design and fabrication in clinical orthopedics. This study proposed the application of 3D-printed personalized reverse shoulder prosthesis in a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for a patient with tuberculosis of the shoulder joint. Traditional and personalized shoulder prostheses were compared and studied. The mechanical simulation analysis was conducted on the individualized prosthesis and scapula. A personalized reverse total shoulder prosthesis was fabricated by 3D printing technology. Finite element analyses were conducted for implantation of traditional and personalized prostheses. The numerical results show that the maximum equivalent stress of screws inserted into bone tissue is 43.23 MPa in the personalized prosthesis. But in traditional prostheses, the maximum equivalent stress of screws performing the same function is 246.50 MPa. The structural advantages of the personalized prosthesis effectively reduce the local pressure of the screws to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the material during service. At the same time, the scapula paired with the personalized prosthesis also shown a smaller mean equivalent stress that can reduce patient stress. The postoperative evaluation of implant stability and patient status was good. The results indicated that 3D printing technology has important application value in orthopedic surgery.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Every day, dirty dishes and cutlery have to be cleaned in millions of households worldwide. From a scientific point of view, the question of “how” is particularly interesting, because everyday household chores hold great potential for saving resources. This review summarises the current state of knowledge about dishwashing. In general, electric dishwashing proves to be significantly more resource-efficient than manual dishwashing, with comparable or better cleaning results. However, the extent of this depends on consumer behaviour. Therefore, best practice tips (BPT) for manual and electric dishwashing as well as ideas for educating consumers are also collected in this review.

Totem, Ritual dan Kesadaran Kolektif: Kajian Teoritik Terhadap Pemikiran Keagamaan Emile Durkheim
Authors: Ahmad Sulthan 
Published: March 2022

As a sociologist, Emile Durkheim has a different perspective in understanding religious behavior, including in interpreting totem rituals for Aboriginal tribes in Australia. According to Durkheim, the ritual does not only have a religious meaning, but also a social meaning—having certain social functions for the performers. Through a collective consciousness framed by a belief system and the same normative patterns, individual and social differences possessed by clan members can be relativized so as to create social unity. In Aboriginal people, the totem is a symbol of the unification of clan societies. Therefore, in such a ritual, the clan members feel united by an impersonal power that has full power over the clan. By doing the ritual, clan members feel a strong bond with one another and a binding loyalty. In the communal ceremony, the worshipers affirm their commitment to the clan as a form of clan solidarity.Sebagai seorang sosiologi, Emile Durkheim memiliki perspektif yang berbeda dalam memahami perilaku keagamaan, termasuk dalam memaknai ritual totem pada suku Aborigin di Australia. Bagi Durkheim ritual totem tidak hanya memiliki makna keagamaan, tetapi juga makna sosial—ritual memiliki fungsi-fungsi sosial tertentu bagi pelakunya. Melalui kesadaran kolektif yang dibingkai oleh sistem keyakinan dan pola-pola normatif yang sama, perbedaan individu dan sosial yang dimiliki oleh anggota klan bisa direlatifkan sehingga tercipta kesatuan sosial. Pada suku Aborigin, totem merupakan simpol persautan masyarakat klan. Karenanya dalam ritual totem dimaksud, anggota klan merasa disatukan oleh sebuah kekuatan impersonal yang berkuasa penuh terhadap klan. Melalui ritual totem yang dilakukan, anggota klan merasakan ikatan yang kuat satu sama lain dan kesetiaan yang mengikat. Dalam upacara yang berlangsung secara komunal tersebut, para pemuja menegaskan komitmen mereka pada klan sebagai bentuk solidaritas klan.
