Authors: Okonofua Friday E. , Ntoimo Lorretta F. C. , Onoh Vivian I. , Omonkhua Akhere A. , Alex-Ojei Christiana A. , Balogun Joseph 
Published: August 2022

Background
Numerous publications have documented the mode of transmission and prevention of COVID-19 but little or no evidence exists on the experiences of people who survived the infection.

Objective
This study explored the specific experiences of persons who were infected with COVID-19, but have recovered completely. A secondary objective was to identify essential elements in the lived experiences of such persons, which would be useful in designing appropriate policies and programs for managing the virus in Nigeria.

Method
The data were collected using in-depth interviews with 21 persons who were diagnosed with the virus and recovered. The data were transcribed and analyzed qualitatively using NVivo software. The experiences of the survivors of COVID-19 were examined under six themes: compliance with prevention measures before being infected, perceptions on how they contracted the virus, the symptoms they experienced, the management of the disease, their experiences with the healthcare system, their emotional experiences, and their recommendations on specific strategies to prevent and manage the virus based on their experiences.

Results
The commonly perceived means of contracting the virus were through colleagues, patients, and friends who were infected. The most commonly experienced symptoms were anosmia and fever. The health providers were described as courteous but some of the respondents observed avoidance and fear. Not all the interviewees knew the drugs they were treated with, but some, particularly the medical personnel, identified hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, vitamin C, Augmentin, among others. Some of the participants used herbal remedies. While some respondents recounted good experiences in the isolation centre, others had unpleasant experiences. Direct and indirect encounters which were perceived as stigmatizing and discriminatory were reported by some respondents.

Conclusion
We conclude that persons who recovered from COVID-19 in Nigeria had varied experiences relating to the mode of infection, the clinical features, methods of treatment, and psychosocial effects of the virus. These experiences would be useful for designing and implementing appropriate interventions, policies, and programs for managing the pandemic in the country.

Objectives
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is the commonly used anticoagulant to prevent clotting of the ECMO circuit and thrombosis of the cannulated vessels. A side effect of UFH is heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Little is known about HIT during ECMO and the impact of changing anticoagulation in ECMO patients with newly diagnosed HIT. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, complications, impact of switching anticoagulation to argatroban and outcomes of patients developing heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) during either veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) ECMO.

Methods
Retrospective observational single centre study of prospectively collected data of consecutive patients receiving VV ECMO therapy for severe respiratory failure and VA ECMO for circulatory failure from January 2006 to December 2016 of the Medical intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Regensburg. Treatment of HIT on ECMO was done with argatroban.

Results
507 patients requiring ECMO were included. Further HIT-diagnostic was conducted if HIT-4T-score was ≥4. The HIT-confirmed group had positive HIT-enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) and positive heparin-induced-platelet-activation (HIPA) test, the HIT-suspicion group a positive HIT-ELISA and missing HIPA but remained on alternative anticoagulation until discharge and the HIT-excluded group a negative or positive HIT-ELISA, however negative HIPA. These were compared to group ECMO-control without any HIT suspicion. The prevalence of HIT-confirmed was 3.2%, of HIT-suspicion 2.0% and HIT-excluded 10.8%. Confirmed HIT was trendwise more frequent in VV than in VA (3.9 vs. 1.7% p = 0.173). Compared to the ECMO control group, patients with confirmed HIT were longer on ECMO (median 13 vs. 8 days, p = 0.002). Different types of complications were higher in the HIT-confirmed than in the ECMO-control group, but in-hospital mortality was not different (31% vs. 41%, p = 0.804).

Conclusion
HIT is rare on ECMO, should be suspected, if platelets are decreasing, but seems not to increase mortality if treated promptly.

Filtering Persistent and Asymmetric Cycles
Authors: Donayre Luiggi 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper evaluates the ability of the trend-cycle decomposition approach of Hamilton (2018. “Why You Should Never Use the Hodrick-Prescott Filter.” The Review of Economics and Statistics 100 (5): 831–43) to adequately characterize linear and (a)symmetric nonlinear business cycles fluctuations that are known to be persistent. This ability is contrasted to that of the Hodrick–Prescott filter. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, the results indicate that neither filter is able to preserve the cyclical properties of the data-generating process nor reproduce U.S. business cycles features, although this inability is exacerbated for the decomposition of Hamilton (2018. “Why You Should Never Use the Hodrick–Prescott Filter.” The Review of Economics and Statistics 100 (5): 831–43). Based on these findings, caution is called into question when this approach is applied to linear or nonlinear processes that are thought to exhibit persistence.
“I don’t think education is the answer”: A corpus-assisted ecolinguistic analysis of plastics discourses in the UK
Authors: Franklin Emma , Gavins Joanna , Mehl Seth 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Ecosystems around the world are becoming engulfed in single-use plastics, the majority of which come from plastic packaging. Reusable plastic packaging systems have been proposed in response to this plastic waste crisis, but uptake of such systems in the UK is still very low. This article draws on a thematic corpus of 5.6 million words of UK English around plastics, packaging, reuse, and recycling to examine consumer attitudes towards plastic (re)use. Utilizing methods and insights from ecolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and cognitive linguistics, this article assesses to what degree consumer language differs from that of public-facing bodies such as supermarkets and government entities. A predefined ecosophy, prioritizing protection, rights, systems thinking, and fairness, is used to not only critically evaluate narratives in plastics discourse but also to recommend strategies for more effective and ecologically beneficial communications around plastics and reuse. This article recommends the adoption of ecosophy in multidisciplinary project teams, and argues that ecosophies are conducive to transparent and reproducible discourse analysis. The analysis also suggests that in order to make meaningful change in packaging reuse behaviors, it is highly likely that deeply ingrained cultural stories around power, rights, and responsibilities will need to be directly challenged.

Evolutionary Theodicy and the Type-Token Distinction: A Reply to Eikrem and Søvik
Authors: Wahlberg Mats 
Published: August 2022

Summary
How can the immense amount of suffering and waste inherent in the evolutionary process be reconciled with the existence of a perfectly good and omnipotent God? A widely embraced proposal in the area of “evolutionary theodicy” is the so-called “Only Way”-argument. This argument contends that certain valuable goods – in particular, creaturely independence and human freedom – can only come about through a genuinely indeterministic and partly uncontrolled process of evolution. In a previous article, I have argued that the “Only Way”-argument can be defeated by a “Twin Earth”-thought experiment: If God is omnipotent, he could have created – directly, without evolution – creatures that are molecule-for-molecule identical to those that he actually created through evolution. If the creatures that he actually created have freedom and independence, there is no valid reason to deny that the non-evolved “twin creatures” would also be free and independent. Recently, Eikrem and Søvik (ES) have suggested a way of blocking my Twin Earth-argument by appealing to the distinction between type-values and token-values (or type-goods and token-goods). While ES admit that the Twin Earth-argument shows the non-necessity of evolution for the existence of certain type-goods, they argue that an evolutionary creation can be justified by appeal to valuable token-goods (unique particulars) that could not have existed without evolution. In this article, I respond to ES’s token-goods argument by showing that it is incompatible with a basic presupposition of “Only Way” evolutionary theodicies, namely the claim that the evolutionary process is genuinely indeterministic and partly uncontrolled.
Effects of enzyme-assisted ultrasonic treatment to the properties of nanofibrils isolated from wheat straw

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) with tunable morphology and properties from wheat straw using enzyme-assisted ultrasonic treatment. The effects of different enzymatic hydrolysis duration on the morphology and the properties of the CNF were studied. The effects of different enzymatic hydrolysis duration on the morphology and the properties of the CNF were studied. AFM analysis showed that average height distribution for CNF-0 (without enzymatic pretreatment) decreased from 11.86 to 8.18 nm for CNF-4 (with the enzymatic hydrolysis duration of 4 h), while the crystallinity and water reserve value (WRV) for CNF-0 increased from 36 and 485% to 47 and 789% for CNF-4, respectively. The transmittance, wettability properties, and mechanical performances of CNF-based films were systematically studied. The results show that the film properties are highly dependent on the morphology of their corresponding CNF and can be effectively modulated by controlling the structural characteristics of CNF. The discoveries of this study provide an environment-friendly approach for the production of CNF with tunable morphology and fibril size, which can promote the production of cellulose-based nanomaterial as well as their related applications.
(How) Are Friends and Friendship Worthwhile to the Advanced Epicurean?
Authors: Gillham Alex 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Commentators usually understand the Epicureans to take friends and friendship to be worthwhile because they help us to eliminate and/or manage our bodily and/or mental pains and thus come closer to achieving tranquility. However, this understanding leaves unexplained why friends and friendship might be worthwhile to an advanced Epicurean with few or no pains to manage or eliminate. In this paper, I remedy this deficiency by offering three explanations for why friends and friendship could and maybe would remain worthwhile even to the Epicurean who achieves tranquility. Along the way, I explore some problems with each explanation and consider ways to overcome them. Notwithstanding these problems, I conclude that friends and friendship could and perhaps would be worthwhile even to the Epicurean with few or no pains.
Young parkour traceurs in Mexico City: a new way to meaning and identity in urban spaces
Authors: Islas Ivan , Varela Sergio 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The practice of parkour in urban spaces by young people, especially those who call themselves traceurs (“plotters”), illustrates how identities are formed in an ephemeral way by reinterpreting spaces in the city – briefly and without leaving a trace. However, in a sort of paradox, these interventions are registered in the socio-digital spectrum, tokenistically anchoring and incorporating them into conversations and social interactions. This work aims to explain the practice of the sport called parkour as a socio-semiotic phenomenon. We have used some zones of Mexico City as a specific case for our approach. The foregoing leads to the conclusion that the meaning of parkour goes beyond its recreational role and places it as a relevant piece of identity for excluded urban social groups – even though these practices have been appropriated by marketing strategies. Our approach will use a cultural semiotics perspective, as well as direct observations and interviews as research techniques.
The economic impact of long-term care services
Authors: Streicher Gerhard , Famira-Mühlberger Ulrike , Firgo Matthias 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Projections show sharp increases in public spending on long-term care (LTC) services across Europe. However, a purely cost-based focus on LTC services is economically misleading. Private and public expenditure on LTC services directly and indirectly generates income in the form of salaries, taxes, and social security contributions. The aim of this paper is to quantify the economic impact and multipliers of LTC services for Austria. Based on an econometric regional Input-Output model for Austria, we estimate the direct, indirect, and induced effects of public and private expenditures on value added, employment, taxes, and social security contributions. According to our results, each euro spent on LTC services is associated with domestic value added of € 1.70; 70 cents per euro spent flows into public budgets in the form of taxes and social security contributions. The economic multipliers of the LTC services are comparatively high due to the high share of wages and salaries in direct expenditure and the associated high direct value added. Public expenditure on professional care services should therefore not be regarded merely as a cost factor in the public budget. Rather, this rapidly growing economic sector is also an increasingly important economic factor in a time of ageing societies. While the model does not provide information on the causal economic effect of the LTC sector, the findings are still highly important for planners of LTC reforms, as they provide information on the total value added associated with LTC expenditures and on the total number of jobs that these expenditures sustain.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Flavored non-tobacco oral nicotine products (eg, nicotine pouches and nontherapeutic nicotine gum, lozenges, tablets, gummies), are increasingly marketed in the United States. Prevalence of non-tobacco oral nicotine product use among adolescents is unknown.

METHODS
We calculated prevalence of ever and past 6-month use of nicotine pouches, other non-tobacco oral nicotine products (ie, gum, lozenges, tablets, and/or gummies), e-cigarettes, cigarettes, hookah or waterpipe, cigars, cigarillos, and snus among high school students in Southern California between September and December 2021. Generalized linear mixed models tested associations of sociodemographic factors and tobacco-product use with use of any non-tobacco oral nicotine product.

RESULTS
Among the sample (n = 3516), prevalence was highest for e-cigarettes (ever: 9.6%, past 6-month: 5.5%), followed by non-tobacco oral nicotine products (ever: 3.4%, past 6-month: 1.7%), and &lt;1% for other products. Ever users of combustible tobacco (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 77.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 39.7–152) and ever users of noncombustible tobacco (aOR = 40.4; 95% CI= 24.3–67.0) had higher odds of ever using non-tobacco oral nicotine products, compared to never users of combustible and noncombustible tobacco. Use of any non-tobacco oral nicotine product was greater for Hispanic (versus all other races/ethnicities except Asian, aOR = 2.58; 95% CI = 1.36–4.87), sexual minority (versus heterosexual, aOR=1.63; 95% CI = 1.03–2.57), gender minority (versus male, aOR = 2.83; 95% CI = 1.29–6.19), and female (versus male, aOR=1.92, 95% CI = 1.20–3.06) participants.

CONCLUSIONS
Non-tobacco oral nicotine products were the second most prevalent nicotine product used by adolescents. They were disproportionately used by certain racial or ethnic, sexual, or gender minority groups, and those with a history of nicotine use. Adolescent non-tobacco oral nicotine product use surveillance should be a public health priority.
Effect of dual-functional coating of chicken fillet with pectin-curcumin-lemongrass oil emulsion on the shelf-life stability and fat uptake during frying
Authors: Ahmad Puat N.N. , Kamaruding N.A. , Shaharuddin S. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study aims to formulate the optimal pectin-curcumin-lemongrass oil emulsion (PE) for coating of chicken fillet at 50:50%, 70:30%, and 90:10%, based on microbial growth inhibition, freshness consistency, and fat absorption during frying. Throughout the 7 days of storage, chicken fillet coated with 70:30% PE showed significant (P < 0.05) suppressive activity against psychrophilic bacteria (8.09 ± 0.00 log10 CFU g−1) compared to non-coated sample (8.27 ± 0.06 log10 CFU g−1). In contrast, 90:10% PE coating inhibited the growth of yeasts or moulds on chicken fillet at 8.24 ± 0.28 log10 CFU g−1, compared to non-coated sample (9.16 ± 0.14 log10 CFU g−1). The 70:30% PE coating showed a better fillet's toughness (18.30 ± 1.32 N mm−1 s−1) and firmness (1.49 ± 0.22 N mm−1) when compared to fillet without coating. After 7 days of storage, coated and uncoated samples showed the same total colour difference (E value) indicating PE coating preserved the texture of fillet and colour. Both coated samples (70:30% and 90:10%) reduced fat uptake during frying by 13.70%–14.25%. The application of PE coating at 90:10% was effectively functioned as an excellent coating to preserve the quality and safety of fillet.

Abstract
The natural fibre containing cellulose as its main component that can be used as an alternative material to improve the strength of polymer composites. Paper focused on the determination of the best volume fraction of sugarcane fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Three variants of alkalization time were carried out. The highest average value of the tensile test results was obtained at an alkalization time of 1.5 h with a tensile strength of 41 N mm−2 and elongation correspond to 11.806% where the highest bending test results were obtained at an alkalizing time of 0.5 h with a bending strength of 24.89 N mm−2. The results of mechanical interlocking have been observed on macrostructure photo and at 1.5 h of alkalization are better than 0.5 h and 1 h of alkalizing time.
