Relationship between temperature rise and thermal conductivity in a magnetic medium during heated dot magnetic recording
Authors: Akagi Fumiko , Matsushima Naofumi 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the relationship between the temperature rise in recording dots of a bit-patterned medium and its thermal conductivity during heated dot magnetic recording (HDMR) using numerical calculation (electromagnetic field and heat conduction analyses). When the thermal conductivities of the recording and heat sink layers were anisotropic, the temperature rise of a dot’s lower cell could be increased while maintaining a small temperature difference between the upper and lower cells. The HDMR process was calculated via micromagnetic simulation using the Landau–Lifshitz–Bloch equation at vertical and in-plane thermal conductivities of 24.0 and 1.0 W mK−1 (12.0 and 10.0 W mK−1), respectively, for the recording (heat sink) layer. Results showed a bit error rate of 0%, and thus almost no error.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
We report a photoconductor-based terahertz metadevice whose transmission characteristics can be comprehensively controlled by a combination of an optical excitation and electrical bias. A metasurface with interdigitated electrodes is proposed to simultaneously support a terahertz resonance and the photoconductive effect, allowing efficient local and global dual-tuning of the carriers in the semiconductor and thus the terahertz wave, based on the simultaneous external optical and electrical stimuli. Experimental results reveal the opposite tuning trend of optical and electrical excitations, leading to the comprehensive transmission modulation of terahertz wave. Our study demonstrates a proof-of-concept device for sophisticated manipulation of terahertz radiation.

Importance of Selective Arterial Calcium Stimulation with Hepatic Venous Sampling in Management of a Patient with Multifocal Insulinoma
Authors: Ubhayasiri S. , Premawansa G. 
Published: August 2022

Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumour arising from beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. We report a case of insulinoma presented with vague manifestations, which were undiagnosed for 2 years. The diagnostic evaluation revealed endogenous hyperinsulinism and imaging showed a pancreatic head lesion for which she underwent the surgery. Due to persisting symptoms, Calcium arterial stimulation and hepatic venous sampling was later performed and it localized an occult insulinoma that was not visible during the radiological or surgical assessment. Diagnosis of occult insulinomas remains a clinical challenge. Selective arterial calcium stimulation and venous sampling is a reliable pre-operative procedure for the positive diagnosis of insulinoma.
A Unique Challenge in Management in the Emergency Department and Cardiac Cathlab: Case Review of Two Subjects with Kounis Syndrome Complicated with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Ventricular Tachycardia, Following Exposure to Cutaneous or Intravenous Allergens

Published: August 2022

Acute coronary syndromes, such as coronary spasm or acute myocardial infarction, have been reported following allergic reactions. These are known to affect patients of any age, and can have a variety of clinical manifestations, and are collectively referred to as Kounis syndrome [1]. We report 2 cases of acute myocardial infarction complicated by severe cardiac dysrhythmia, following an acute allergic reaction to cutaneous or intravenous allergens. To our knowledge, this is the first instance of a skin contact with caterpillar has been documented to provoke Kounis syndrome complicated by an acute STEMI with polymorphic VT. Management of such patients could be hazardous, particularly in emergency units and cardiac catheter labs, when decisions on drugs and urgent revascularization need to be made on a background of inflammation induced by severe allergic reactions. In theory, bare metal stents (when appropriate), Polymer free, Bio-absorbable scaffolds or rapid healing Drug Eluting Stents offer a better safety profile in emergency PCI, but according to our knowledge, duration of antiplatelet drugs and relative safety of various types of stents with variable drug and polymer combinations have not been formally evaluated in this condition in randomised control trials. The risk of early and late stent thrombosis and restenosis with chronic inflammation may be difficult to predict in the long term, without follow up data from trials. Such trials are very difficult to set up given the low volumes and emergency nature of events, hence review of clinical case series like ours will be invaluable to gain more insight into rapid decision making required in this interesting clinical syndrome. Reassuringly, both our patients who had emergency PCI with either Biolimus, Everolimus eluting or bare metal stents respectively in the acute setting, have not experienced repeat hospitalizations for ACS, arrhythmia or a repeat revascularization procedure at 7 and 5year follow-ups respectively.

ABSTRACT.
Chemical and microbiological drinking water contaminants pose risks to child health but are not often evaluated concurrently. At two consecutive visits to 96 households in Piura, Peru, we collected drinking water samples, administered health and exposure questionnaires, and collected infant stool samples. Standard methods were used to quantify heavy metals/metalloids, pesticides, and Escherichia coli concentrations in water samples. Stool samples were assayed for bacterial, viral, and parasitic enteropathogens. The primary drinking water source was indoor piped water for 70 of 96 households (73%); 36 households (38%) stored drinking water from the primary source in containers in the home. We found high prevalence of chemical and microbiological contaminants in household drinking water samples: arsenic was detected in 50% of 96 samples, ≥ 1 pesticide was detected in 65% of 92 samples, and E. coli was detected in 37% of 319 samples. Drinking water samples that had been stored in containers had higher odds of E. coli detection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 4.50; 95% CI: 2.04–9.95) and pesticide detection (OR: 6.55; 95% CI: 2.05–21.0) compared with samples collected directly from a tap. Most infants (68%) had ≥ 1 enteropathogen detected in their stool. Higher odds of enteropathogen infection at the second visit were observed among infants from households where pesticides were detected in drinking water at the first visit (aOR: 2.93; 95% CI: 1.13–7.61). Results show concurrent risks of exposure to microbiological and chemical contaminants in drinking water in a low-income setting, despite high access to piped drinking water.

Authors: Gomaa AmerAbdalhamid , Amer Mohammed Zakaria Abu , Hassan Abdelrahman Abuelela 
Published: August 2022

Background: Colonoscopy is a well-established endoscopic procedure widely used for screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Colonoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel, using some techniques that allow for more frequent cecal intubation, quicker time to cecum, or less pain. One obstacle that must be overcome during this procedure is looping of the colonoscope shaft. Objective: The aim of the work is to evaluate the use of simple elastic abdominal binder during colonoscopy and its outcome on the ease, safety, duration and success of the procedure.Successful colonoscopy means demonstration of the ileocecal valve (cecal intubation).Duration of colonoscopy means time in minutes since insertion of tip of colonoscope shaft through anus till reaching ileocecal valve. Patients and methods: This study was carried out on 120 patients undergoing elective colonoscopy ( during period from April 2018 toAugust 2019) who were enrolled from Hepatology,Gastroenterology& Tropical Medicine department in Al Azhar University Hospitals (El-Hussein and BAB El-Shaarea).

Sprachkontakt in der Geschichte des archaischen Lokativs im binnenslawischen Vergleich (anhand der Nowgoroder Birkenrindentexte)
Authors: Warditz Vladislava 
Published: August 2022

Summary
This paper examines the history of the Slavic locative viewed from the perspective of language contact(s) in diachronic language change. From a comparative study of Slavic languages, it transpires that whereas in most of these languages the locative was replaced by a prepositive well before the emergence of a written tradition, in the North East Slavia, notably in the Old Novgorodian dialect, it was preserved in certain lexical groups until the 13th century. By studying the use of the locative in the corpus of Novgorodian birchbark texts (11th–15th centuries), the paper argues that language contact(s) have both a catalyzing and a conserving function in language change.
“We are all constructors”. Milorad Pavić’s Zapis u znaku device as epiphanic retro-(post-) modernism
Authors: Ghilarducci Manuel 
Published: August 2022

Summary
Milorad Pavić’s An Inscription in the Sign of the Virgin (1973) has not been the subject of scholarly investigation yet, although this story manifests a peculiar poetics of epiphany which aims to counter Yugoslavian (post-)modernity immanently by using its own hybrid and fragmented strategies and to restore an allegedly lost totality and transcendentality by focusing on a mythological past. The text is structured as a postmodern play with language and literary conventions; but its ontological, phenomenological, linguistic and geopoetic implications carry a conservative character. Every movement the text makes towards fragmentation is followed by an opposite movement towards a restoration of traditional structures. For these reasons, I propose to label this poetics of epiphany as ‘retro-(post-)modernism’. In this article, I will focus on the mentioned issues by illustrating these opposite movements with the help of the philosophical concepts of Jean-Luc Marion, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
Stercoral Colitis; A Rare Inflammatory Condition
Authors: Grewal Jasmin , Grasso Salvatore 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Stercoral colitis presentation is highly variable but is commonly found in individuals with specific risk facts such as a history of chronic constipation or chronic opioid use or the elderly. However, the patient whom this case study will discuss, did not fall into any of these risk factor categories. As a result, stercoral colitis was not on the initial potential differential diagnoses list. The diagnosis of stercoral colitis in our patient was determined by following general medical protocol for abdominal symptoms, such as obtaining labs and imaging studies. It is important to detect stercoral colitis early because if left untreated, it could lead to bowel perforation which significantly increases the patient’s mortality risk. This case study will explore the risks, detection tools, complications, and treatments for stercoral colitis further.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The assessment of a country's education quality lies in the productivity level of public education in relation to the country's development through education. Generally, the government conscientiously provides education to the citizens by providing sufficient resources to build human capital development. The study reveals Chinese government funds the education expenditures of all 31 provinces, including the municipalities. The result indicates that each year China government budgets more money for education. The correlation analysis proves that there are (0.9311), i.e., 93% of total expenditure (TE) on education from 1992 to 2017. This implies seriousness in fostering sustainability in investing in education across the country by China's leadership. In addition, government appropriation expenditure (GAE) and public expenditure (PE) are significantly and strongly correlated at 0.9990 (99.9%) and 0.9983 (99.8%), respectively. The summary of returns to education was qualitatively reviewed in tabular form to highlight the phases and progress which China's education has recorded. Though the literature buttresses the gradual progress to education returns, remarkable achievements have been made in the present administration in his plans on education. Besides, the study highlighted other possible means for education expenditure and funding, such as research, tuition, donations from organizations and agencies, tax revenues.
