Rhetorical Swordfighting and Satire in Thomas Watson’s Hekatompathia
Authors: Bennett Kristen Abbott 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Thomas Watson’s critics have suggested that The Hekatompathia, Or Passionate Centurie of Love ambitiously aspired to be a pedagogical text, but if this work is designed to teach, then this essay suggests Watson’s manipulations of genre, style, and intertexts combine to offer a pedagogy for poets, a compilation of rhetorical postures one may employ to simultaneously deliver and disguise socio-political satire in Elizabethan England. This essay first discusses how Hekatompathia additionally signals its satirical aims by participating in the pasquinade tradition, and positioning a “pasquine piller” at the volta of this sequence of one hundred passions. Next, it shows how Watson’s “passions” intertextually recall Pierre de Ronsard’s Discours des Misères de ce Temps, a collection of lyrics satirizing the French factionalism that has led to civil war, as well as Thomas Jeney’s later English translation that turns a mirror to princes toward Queen Elizabeth. Upon recognizing the Ronsardian subtexts of courtly factionalism and civil unrest associated with Watson’s “passions,” one may see how they are compounded as the poet sets them forth in the “pathetical style” of Seneca and Lucan. The civil wars of ancient Rome and subsequent imperial tyranny are frequently held up as a cautionary tales for early modern English and European rulers, but Watson’s simultaneous translation of the French Wars of Religion relocates these civil broils in England, implicating Elizabethan court dissidence and hypocrisy.
Xia Mianzun and the Sanitary Japan
Authors: Shulman Julian 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article seeks to probe Chinese views of Japan through an essay by the writer and translator Xia Mianzun (1886–1946). Xia was a prominent intellectual of the Republican period and a lifelong Japanophile. The essay concerns the Japanese social reformer Nishida Tenkō (1872–1968), founder of the Ittōen community in Kyoto, who came to national attention in Japan during the latter part of the Taishō period. Xia’s essay on Nishida will be considered in an attempt to elucidate his attraction to Japanese art and culture. Building on the work of the anthropologist Winston Davis, the worldview of Nishida Tenkō and essential ideals of Ittōen will also be examined.
Voluntary Underclass?: Globalism, Temporality, and the Life Choices of Japanese Working Holiday Makers in Australia
Authors: Oishi Nana 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The working holiday (wh) program is a cultural exchange program that offers youth ‘global experiences’ including short-term employment, travel, and/or study. Australia is the most popular destination for Japanese working holiday makers (whm s): over 10,000 Japanese whm s were in Australia before the pandemic hit the country in March 2020. Despite the fact that most had held secure white-collar jobs in Japan, they moved to Australia and voluntarily took precarious jobs in agriculture, hospitality, and childcare. What made them decide to accept such significant downward mobility and acquiesce to unfavorable conditions such as underpayment, non-payment, and sometimes even harassment? How did the covid-19 pandemic affect their lives in Australia? Based on data from surveys and qualitative interviews, this article analyses the relationship between globalism and a willingness for Japanese youth migrants to join the ‘underclass’ in Australia.
How Does the Young Generation Become More Cosmopolitan? Evidence from Taiwan
Authors: Tsai Ming-Chang , Chan Chin-Han 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study investigates younger people’s perceptions of the influences of globalization by testing two hypotheses about the effects of educational socialization and Internet use. The potential influence of cross-border travel for the older population is examined for comparison. Using national samples from two waves of a large survey, we adopt a measure of attitudinal support for cosmopolitan openness. Empirical findings obtained from a mediation approach show that the young generation reveal stronger cosmopolitanism due to their higher probability of having a college education and Internet use, while the older population’s openness can be attributed to their frequent intercontinental rather than intracontinental travel. Internet use, however, raises little attention to the issue of increased inequality in a highly mobile world.

Abstract
MetPy is an open-source, Python-based package for meteorology, providing domain-specific functionality built extensively on top of the robust scientific Python software stack, which includes libraries like NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and xarray. The goal of the project is to bring the weather analysis capabilities of GEMPAK (and similar software tools) into a modern computing paradigm. MetPy strives to employ best practices in its development, including software tests, continuous integration, and automated publishing of web-based documentation. As such, MetPy represents a sustainable, long-term project that fills a need for the meteorological community. MetPy’s development is substantially driven by its user community, both through feedback on a variety of open, public forums like Stack Overflow, and through code contributions facilitated by the GitHub collaborative software development platform. MetPy has recently seen the release of version 1.0, with robust functionality for analyzing and visualizing meteorological datasets. While previous versions of MetPy have already seen extensive use, the 1.0 release represents a significant milestone in terms of completeness and a commitment to long-term support for the programming interfaces. This article provides an overview of MetPy’s suite of capabilities, including its use of labeled arrays and physical unit information as its core data model, unit-aware calculations, cross sections, skew T and GEMPAK-like plotting, station model plots, and support for parsing a variety of meteorological data formats. The general road map for future planned development for MetPy is also discussed.
Acoustic Float Tracking with the Kalman Smoother

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Acoustically-tracked subsurface floats provide insights into ocean complexity and were first deployed over 60 years ago. A standard tracking method uses a Least-Squares algorithm to estimate float trajectories based on acoustic ranging from moored sound sources. However, infrequent or imperfect data challenge such estimates, and Least-Squares algorithms are vulnerable to non-Gaussian errors. Acoustic tracking is currently the only feasible strategy for recovering float positions in the sea ice region, a focus of this study. Acoustic records recovered from under-ice floats frequently lack continuous sound source coverage. This is because environmental factors such as surface sound channels and rough sea ice attenuate acoustic signals, while operational considerations make polar sound sources expensive and difficult to deploy. Here we present a Kalman Smoother approach that, by including some estimates of float behavior, extends tracking to situations with more challenging data sets. The Kalman Smoother constructs dynamically constrained, error-minimized float tracks and variance ellipses using all possible position data. This algorithm outperforms the Least-Squares approach and a Kalman Filter in numerical experiments. The Kalman Smoother is applied to previously-tracked floats from the southeast Pacific (DIMES experiment), and the results are compared with existing trajectories constructed using the Least- Squares algorithm. The Kalman Smoother is also used to reconstruct the trajectories of a set of previously untracked, acoustically-enabled Argo floats in the Weddell Sea.

Authors: Srikanth Mankala , Kumar Nirmal 
Published: July 2022

Aims and Objectives: (a) Utility of neonatal sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score for predicting mortality in neonatal sepsis. (b) Determining a cut-off score of neonatal sequential organ failure assessment (nSOFA) score in relation to mortality. Materials and Methods: Prospective pilot study in neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) for 1 year (January-December 2021). Inclusion Criteria: All neonates (inborn and outborn) admitted to neonatal ICU with the diagnosis of presumed or proven sepsis. Exclusion Criteria: Neonates with critical congenital heart disease, congenital malformations, congenital immunodeficiency syndromes, inborn errors of metabolism, and neonates with birth asphyxia. All neonates admitted in neonatal ICU with the diagnosis of presumed or proven sepsis were included in the study. Variables required for nSOFA were assessed along with general demographic like age, gestational age, and so on. The nSOFA score was documented twice, once at the time of admission (initial evaluation) for sepsis and later at 24 h. The final outcome (survivor/nonsurvivor) was recorded. Data was analyzed to see the correlation of nSOFA to outcome and also to see the predictive value of cut-off nSOFA score to outcome. Results: A total of 60 neonates with presumed or proven sepsis (30 each in term and preterm) were admitted, of which 10 (16.7%) were nonsurvivors (6 preterms and 4 term), P value .731. Four deaths were observed in outborn (n = 38) and 6 in inborn (n = 22) babies, P value .149. The mean (±standard deviation [SD]) of age (days) and weight (kg) among survivors was 11.24 (9.47) and 2.23 (0.69) and for nonsurvivors was 11.2 (11.9) and 1.9 (1.1), respectively, P value >.05. There was no statistical significance observed between survivors and nonsurvivors in relation to blood culture positivity, P value .17. Mean (±SD) nSOFA score among survivors at the time of admission (initial evaluation) was 1.96 (1.69) and at 24 h was 1.16 (1.48). Among nonsurvivors mean (±SD), admission (initial evaluation) nSOFA score was 7.6 (2.0) and at 24 h 10 (2) was observed, P value of <.001. The mean (±SD) of nSOFA changes (at the time of admission and at 24 h) for survivors (–)0.8(1.14) and for nonsurvivors 2.4 (1.17) was observed, P value <.001. Outcome in relation to nSOFA score, 90.0% mortality was observed with the score of ≥6 at the time of admission (initial evaluation) and score of ≥5 at 24 h. Based on these cut-off values, receiver operating characteristic curve for mortality prediction was calculated. Area under curve (AUC) for admission (initial) was 0.972 (sensitivity 90%, specificity 98%, positive predictive value 90%, negative predictive value 98, with accuracy of 96.7%). At 24 h, AUC was 0.999 (sensitivity 100%, specificity 98%, positive predictive value 90.9%, negative predictive value 100, with accuracy of 98.3%). Conclusion: nSOFA can predict neonatal mortality due to sepsis. Admission nSOFA score of ≥6 and ≥5 at 24 h correlate well with mortality.
Optimizing Blood Loss and Management in Craniosynostosis Surgery: A Systematic Review of Outcomes Over the Last 40 Years
Authors: Coombs Demetrius M. , Knackstedt Rebecca , Patel Niyant 
Published: July 2022

Surgical correction of craniosynostosis can involve significant blood loss. Rates of allogenic blood transfusion have been reported to approach 100%. Multiple interventions have been described to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements. The aim of this study was to analyze various approaches over the last 4 decades to optimize blood loss and management during craniosynostosis surgery. PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews were followed. PubMed and Cochrane database searches identified studies analyzing approaches to minimizing blood loss or transfusion rate in craniosynostosis surgery. Primary outcomes included rate or amount of allogenic or autologous blood transfusion, estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative hemoglobin (Hg), or hematocrit (Hct) levels. Secondary outcomes were examined when reported. Fifty-two studies met inclusion criteria. There was marked heterogeneity regarding design, inclusion criteria, surgical intervention, and endpoints. The majority of the studies were nonrandomized and noncomparative. Four studies analyzed erythropoietin (EPO), 6 analyzed various cell-saver (CS) technologies, 18 analyzed antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid [TXA], aminocaproic acid [ACA], and aprotinin [APO]), 8 analyzed various alternatives, and 16 analyzed multimodal pathways & protocols. Some studies analyzed multiple approaches. Although the majority of studies reviewed represent level III/IV evidence, several high-quality level I studies were identified and included. Level I evidence supported an improvement in blood outcomes by utilizing EPO, CS, and TXA, individually or in concert with one another. Thus, this review suggests that a multi-prong approach may be the most effective means to optimize blood loss and transfusion outcomes in craniosynostosis surgery.

Background Previous evidences have been proved that age, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and ejection fraction are tightly associated with the long-term outcomes in patients suffered from coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the prognosis value of age, NT-proBNP, and ejection fraction (ABEF) score in CAD patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Observational cohort methodology was used in this study which enrolled totally 3561 patients. And the patients were followed up regularly for 37.59 ± 22.24 months. Patients were classed into three groups based on the tertiles of ABEF sore: first tertile (<5.06, n = 831), second tertile (5.06-6.25, n = 839), and third tertile (≥ 6.25, n = 834). The ABEF score was calculated as follows: age (years)/ejection fraction (%) + NT-proBNP (NT-proBNP<177pg/mL was 1, 177≤NT-proBNP≥524pg/mL was 2 and NT-proBNP > 524pg/mL is 3). The association between ABEF score and adverse prognosis, including all-cause death (ACD), cardiac death (CD), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), in patients who underwent PCI was analyzed. Results According to the risk category of ABEF score, the incidences of ACD ( P < .001), CD ( P < .001) and MACCEs ( P = .021) among the three groups showed significant differences. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that the respective risks of ACD and CD were increased 3.013 folds (hazard risk [HR] = 4.013 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.922-8.378], P < .001) and 4.922 folds ([HR] = 5.922 [95% [CI]: 2.253-15.566], P < .001) in the third tertile compared with those in the first tertile. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that the cumulative risks of ACD,CD and MACCEs in patients with the high ABEF score tended to increase. Conclusion The present study indicated ABEF score was a novel biomarker suitable for predicting adverse prognosis in patients after PCI, which may be used for early recognition and risk stratification.

Authors: Karabey Tuba , Karagözoğlu Şerife 
Published: July 2022

Aim and objectives: The purpose of this study is to see how ShotBlocker® affects the pain and comfort level associated with short peripheral intravenous cannula (PIV) insertion. Methods: The study was conducted on a single sample group using a pre-post design. Individuals in the sample group who underwent a brief PIV insertion procedure served as both the study’s control and intervention groups. In the sample group, the same nurse inserted a peripheral intravenous catheter into the cephalic veins of the right and left forearms using a standard insertion and ShotBlocker®. The pain and comfort levels were assessed using the VAS and Comfort Scale. Results: When the distribution of the average pain and comfort scores of the individuals treated with the peripheral intravenous catheter was examined, it was found that the average pain score of the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion using ShotBlocker® was statistically significantly lower than the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion using the standard method, and the comfort score averages were statistically higher. When the correlation between the pain and comfort score averages of individuals undergoing peripheral intravenous catheter insertions was investigated, a statistically significant and strong negative relationship ( p = 0.001) was discovered. Conclusions: As a result, the use of ShotBlocker® during the short PIV insertion procedure is an effective method to reduce the pain caused by the peripheral intravenous catheter. It was determined that the comfort level of the individuals increased as the pain due to peripheral intravenous catheter insertion decreased.

Published: July 2022

Background: The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ Kids is an exercise-based injury prevention program developed by an international group of experts to prevent injuries among child soccer players. Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that the FIFA 11+ Kids program would be more effective than performing a typical warm-up regimen in reducing overall injuries among soccer players aged 7 to 13 years. Study Design: A clustered randomized controlled trial. Level of Evidence: Level 1. Methods: A total of 94 boys’ soccer teams, including 780 players, were randomly allocated into an experimental or control group. Complete datasets were collected from 45 teams (377 players) and 43 teams (363 players) in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The experimental group underwent the FIFA 11+ Kids program as a warm-up during training sessions and matches at least twice a week, and the control group continued performing their usual warm-ups. Participants were prospectively followed during 1 season (6 months). The primary outcomes included the incidence of overall and recurrent injuries and their mechanism and severity. The secondary outcome was the rate of compliance with the intervention program. Results: A total of 43 injuries were reported in the experimental group in 50,120 hours of exposure (0.85 injuries/1000 exposure hours). A total of 86 injuries were reported in the control group in 42,616 hours of exposure (2.01 injuries/1000 exposure hours). The injury risk ratio was 0.43 (0.29-0.61), suggesting that the experimental group experienced 57% fewer injuries than those in the control group. Conclusion: The FIFA 11+ Kids program reduced overall injury rates in children playing soccer more than the usual warm-ups. Clinical Relevance: The results of this study provide evidence for children’s coaches to consider including the FIFA 11+ Kids program in their warm-up regimen. Such a program may prevent injury risk and decrease absenteeism and injury-related financial burdens.

Published: July 2022

Objective/Background Telepathology has been widely adopted to allow intraoperative pathology examinations to be performed remotely and for obtaining second opinion teleconsultation. In the Italian northern region of South Tyrol, the widespread geographical distances and consequent cost for the health system of having a travelling pathologist cover intraoperative consultations in peripheral hospitals was a key driver for the implementation of a telepathology system. Methods In 2010, four Menarini D-Sight whole slide scanners to digitize entire pathology slides were placed in the peripheral hospitals of Merano, Bressanone, Brunico, and in the hub hospital of Bolzano. Digital workstations were also installed to allow pathologists to remotely perform intraoperative consultations with digital slides. This study reviews the outcome after 12 years of telepathology for this intended clinical use. Results After an initial validation phase with 100 cases which yielded a sensitivity of 65% (CI 43–84%) and specificity of 100% (CI 95–100%), there were 2058 intraoperative consultations handled by telepathology. The cases evaluated were mainly breast sentinel lymph nodes, followed by urological, gynecological and general surgical pathology frozen section specimens. There were no false-positive cases and 165 (8%) false-negative cases, yielding an overall sensitivity and specificity of 65% (CI 61–69%) and 100% (CI 99–100%), respectively. Conclusion Telepathology is reliable for remote intraoperative diagnosis and, despite technical issues and initial acquaintance issues, proved beneficial for patient care in satellite hospitals, improved standardization, promoted innovation, and resulted in cost savings for the health system.
