Design and evaluation of thermally conductive sheet structure to enhance the thermal stability of transparent OLED displays
Authors: Lee Se-Min , Jung Ju-Won , Kim Young-Joo 
Published: October 2022

In transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, both
optical and thermal properties strongly affect stable performance in
various environmental conditions. Though many previous studies have
focused on improving the thermal conductivity of the transparent
material itself, the current value of 2.5 W/mK [J. Mater. Chem. C
4, 9697 (2016)JMCCCX2050-753410.1039/C6TC03318K] may
not be enough to ensure reliable performance for transparent OLED
displays. In this study, we aim to introduce a novel sheet structure
based on line patterned thermally conductive material embedded in a
transparent polymer sheet. After designing and fabricating the
optimized sheet structure, its optical and thermal characteristics
were evaluated experimentally. Finally, the thermal conductivity of
the developed transparent sheet was measured to be 4.35 W/mK in
the louver direction with a transmittance of 75%, improved color
uniformity and reduced temperature deviation in the transparent OLED
displays.
Perturbation approach to improve the angular tolerance of high-Q resonances in metasurfaces
Authors: Arruda Guilherme S. , Conteduca Donato , Barth Isabel , Wang Yue , Krauss Thomas F. , Martins Emiliano R. 
Published: October 2022

The interest in high quality factor (high-Q) resonances in metasurfaces has been rekindled with the rise of the bound states in the continuum (BIC) paradigm, which describes resonances with apparently limitlessly high quality-factors (Q-factors). The application of BICs in realistic systems requires the consideration of the angular tolerance of resonances, however, which is an issue that has not yet been addressed. Here, we develop an ab-initio model, based on temporal coupled mode theory, to describe the angular tolerance of distributed resonances in metasurfaces that support both BICs and guided mode resonances (GMRs). We then discuss the idea of a metasurface with a perturbed unit cell, similar to a supercell, as an alternative approach for achieving high-Q resonances and we use the model to compare the two. We find that, while sharing the high-Q advantage of BIC resonances, perturbed structures feature higher angular tolerance due to band planarization. This observation suggests that such structures offer a route toward high-Q resonances that are more suitable for applications.
Parameterized syncmer schemes improve long-read mapping
Authors: Dutta Abhinav , Pellow David , Shamir Ron 
Published: October 2022

Motivation
Sequencing long reads presents novel challenges to mapping. One such challenge is low sequence similarity between the reads and the reference, due to high sequencing error and mutation rates. This occurs, e.g., in a cancer tumor, or due to differences between strains of viruses or bacteria. A key idea in mapping algorithms is to sketch sequences with their minimizers. Recently, syncmers were introduced as an alternative sketching method that is more robust to mutations and sequencing errors.

Results
We introduce parameterized syncmer schemes (PSS), a generalization of syncmers, and provide a theoretical analysis for multi-parameter schemes. By combining PSS with downsampling or minimizers we can achieve any desired compression and window guarantee. We implemented the use of PSS in the popular minimap2 and Winnowmap2 mappers. In tests on simulated and real long-read data from a variety of genomes, the PSS-based algorithms, with scheme parameters selected on the basis of our theoretical analysis, reduced unmapped reads by 20-60% at high compression while usually using less memory. The advantage was more pronounced at low sequence identity. At sequence identity of 75% and medium compression, PSS-minimap had only 37% as many unmapped reads, and 8% fewer of the reads that did map were incorrectly mapped. Even at lower compression and error rates, PSS-based mapping mapped more reads than the original minimizer-based mappers as well as mappers using the original syncmer schemes. We conclude that using PSS can improve mapping of long reads in a wide range of settings.
Ukraine in the Integration Security System
Authors: Chekalenko Liudmyla D. 
Published: October 2022

The process of the security system formation in the integrated European space has been continuing for more than seven decades, but its final objective has not been attained yet. The relevance of this topic is the need to study the process of destruction of the established world, the collapse of the system of international relations, lack of understanding and complete disregard by the aggressor of all humanitarian levers in a situation of war and armed confrontation. Every subsequent turn in development of international relations in 20th and 21st centuries and new emerging threats seem to bring countries closer to unity and addressing the security problem, but…
In 2014 Russia, ignoring the principles of the international law, basic treaties with Ukraine, commitments to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine, started a war. On 24 February 2022, a new escalation took place when Russia attacked Ukraine without declaring the state of war. What was the reason? The answer could be found in the Ukrainian history that is not a simple one. Russian rulers want to rebuild the Russian empire returning to the borders of the 19th century. This is a threat to Ukraine that is a sovereign European state founded on the bases of European values, peace and international cooperation.
Russia has been trying to eliminate Ukrainian statehood, language, and culture starting from the Kozak times of the 16th century. Thus, this process is at least 500-year old. In the 21st century, Russia attempted to occupy Ukraine by means of the anti-Ukrainian government, but the attempt failed. As a consequence, the Russian president decided to eliminate Ukraine by military means. When the aggression started in 2014, the EU deeply dependent on Russian energy sources, did not react fully to the Russian intervention. Ukraine could not defend its territorial integrity because of the lack of military capacities in the absence of the international military support. But in 2022, the situation is radically different: at the time of Russian invasion, Ukrainian people raise to the defense of their country, and the Ukrainian army thanks to the strong international military and political support continues to defend the existence of the Ukrainian state despite the dominance of the Russian military machine.

AbstractDiabetes is a global, costly, and growing public health issue. Intermittent fasting (IF) and exercise therapy have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity (IS) in large studies, although the underlying processes are still unknown. The goal of this study, which included both nondiabetic and diabetic rats, was to look at the mechanisms of intermittent fasting and exercise in the management of diabetotoxicity. The effects of starvation and honey on the oral glucose tolerance test, insulin tolerance test, adipocytokines, oxidative glucose metabolic enzymes, glycolytic enzymes, food intake, and body weight in rats with streptozotocin‐induced diabetes were also investigated. In the nondiabetic phase, rats were administered an oral regimen of distilled water (0.5 ml/rat), honey (1 g/kg body weight), and interventions with IF, and starvation for 4 weeks while in the diabetic phase, after STZ or citrate buffer injections, interventions with IF, exercise, starvation, and honey treatment began for 4 weeks. At all OGTT and ITT points, there was a substantial rise in glucose in the STZ group. Adipocytokines hormone, oxidative glucose metabolic enzymes, glycolytic enzymes, and body weight were all affected by STZ when compared to starvation and honey, however, IF and exercise significantly reduced these alterations. In diabetic rats, intermittent fasting and exercise enhanced serum adipocytokines levels. These findings imply that adipokines modulate glycolytic/nonmitochondrial enzymes and glucose metabolic/mitochondrial dehydrogenase to mediate the antidiabetic effects of intermittent fasting and exercise.
Why Tax Planning Without Considering Societal Interests is Unfounded
Authors: Schmiel Ute 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The present paper is a commentary on the article “The relationship between Taxation, Accounting and Legal Forms”, which has already been published in AEL: A Convivium. The article deals with Controlled Foreign Corporation rules (CFC rules) from a profit-seeking perspective. It develops tax schemes and assumes them to be adequate means to avoiding the Austrian or German CFC rules. This commentary argues that from the perspective of a critical rationalist methodology, the topic and the findings of the article need to be viewed with some reservation. A substantial objection applies to the article’s statement that the developed tax schemes are adequate to achieve the end of optimising the effective tax rate. However, there is the even more substantial objection that neither the developed tax schemes nor the end of optimising the effective tax rate without taking the interests of society systematically into account are legitimate. However, the article fails to address the major societal issue of how to reduce tax avoidance.
Cynarin inhibits PDGF-BB-induced proliferation and activation in hepatic stellate cells through PPARγ

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Cynarin, a caffeoylquinic acid compound that was mainly extracted from Cynara scolymus L., displays various activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, choleretic, and hepatoprotective functions. However, the target of cynarin and the mechanism of its hepatoprotective effect are still unclear. To find cynarin’s target, we performed molecular docking analysis, fluorescence-based ligand-binding assay, and reporter gene system assay. Our results indicated that cynarin was a partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). Further studies showed that cynarin significantly inhibited platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced proliferation and activation of rat CFSC-8G hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Our results also revealed that cynarin inhibited PDGF-BB-induced extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) and v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT) phosphorylation in HSCs. In addition, this inhibition effect was PPARγ dependent since the knockdown of PPARγ significantly attenuated the effects of cynarin on PDGF-BB-induced p-ERK, p-AKT, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expressions. Therefore, this study suggests that cynarin is a promising antifibrotic lead compound that inhibits the activation of HSCs, and it works by targeting PPARγ.
Estimating risk and rate ratio in rare events meta-analysis with the Mantel–Haenszel estimator and assessing heterogeneity
Authors: Böhning Dankmar , Sangnawakij Patarawan , Holling Heinz 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Meta-analysis of binary outcome data faces often a situation where studies with a rare event are part of the set of studies to be considered. These studies have low occurrence of event counts to the extreme that no events occur in one or both groups to be compared. This raises issues how to estimate validly the summary risk or rate ratio across studies. A preferred choice is the Mantel–Haenszel estimator, which is still defined in the situation of zero studies unless all studies have zeros in one of the groups to be compared. For this situation, a modified Mantel–Haenszel estimator is suggested and shown to perform well by means of simulation work. Also, confidence interval estimation is discussed and evaluated in a simulation study. In a second part, heterogeneity of relative risk across studies is investigated with a new chi-square type statistic which is based on a conditional binomial distribution where the conditioning is on the event margin for each study. This is necessary as the conventional Q-statistic is undefined in the occurrence of zero studies. The null-distribution of the proposed Q-statistic is obtained by means of a parametric bootstrap as a chi-square approximation is not valid for rare events meta-analysis, as bootstrapping of the null-distribution shows. In addition, for the effect heterogeneity situation, confidence interval estimation is considered using a nonparametric bootstrap procedure. The proposed techniques are illustrated at hand of three meta-analytic data sets.
Students’ attitude and motivation towards concept mapping-based prewriting strategies
Authors: Su Fan , Zou Di 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study proposes two collaborative concept mapping-based prewriting strategies to help Chinese EFL learners with a reading-to-write task—reading an unfinished story and then writing its ending. Collaborative concept mapping enables students to visualize the storyline with the help of peer scaffolding. The two proposed strategies used collaborative fill-in-the-blanks concept maps (CFCM) and collaboratively constructed concept maps (CCCM). Classes 1 (N = 48) and 2 (N = 47) participated in the experiment and respectively learned the strategies of CFCM and CCCM. The collected data included students’ concept maps, reading-to-write products, responses to questionnaires on attitudes and motivation, and learning journals, which were analyzed by t tests, path analysis, and qualitative coding. The results indicated that students using CCCM showed more positive attitudes and higher motivation than those using CFCM; however, the two strategies shared similar effectiveness in developing students’ reading-to-write abilities. Students found the proposed strategies effective in helping them write the story ending.
Alternative Readings of Labourer’s Love: The Shakespearean, Pan-Laborist, and Technological Uncanny
Authors: Xu Meimei 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Contemporary source materials confirm that Labourer’s Love was designed to be experimental and editable. It puts the credibility of the extant film in question, and opens up many hermeneutic possibilities. Intriguing issues such as its titles, thematic narrative, and technological aspects of its production call for alternative readings. Based on Zheng Zhengqiu’s benshi (the original synopsis), this paper discusses about the film’s Shakespearean predilection and pan-laborist ideologies. A further relational sociological analysis, however, shows that with the hidden functioning of technical media like lighting and noise, the film has transcended the superficial laborer/non-laborer narrative and created a craftsman/technology discourse. As a result, the established spatial–temporal relations were annihilated and the film generated an experience of technological uncanny.
A cross-sectional survey exploring clinician perceptions of a novel Medicaid back pain policy
Authors: Livingston Catherine J. , Gray Mary , LaForge Kate , Choo Esther K. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Oregon Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan, or OHP) implemented an innovative policy in 2016 that increased coverage of evidence-based non-pharmacologic therapies (NPT, including physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture) while restricting opioids, epidural steroid injections, and surgeries. The objective of this study was to compare the perspectives of clinicians who see back pain patients and can prescribe pharmacologic therapies and/or refer to NPTs and clinicians who directly provide NPT therapies affected by the policy.

Methods
A cross-sectional online survey was administered to Oregon prescribing clinicians and NPT clinicians between December 2019 and February 2020. The survey was completed by 107 prescribing clinicians and 83 NPT clinicians.

Results
Prescribing clinicians and NPT clinicians had only moderate levels of familiarity with core elements of the policy. Prescribing clinicians had higher levels of frustration caring for OHP patients with back pain than NPT clinicians (83 vs. 34%, p<0.001) and were less confident in their ability to provide effective care (73 vs. 85%, p = .025). Eighty-six percent of prescribing clinicians and 83% of NPT clinicians thought active NPT treatments were effective; 74 and 70% thought passive NPT treatments were effective. Forty percent of prescribing clinicians and 25% of NPT clinicians (p<0.001) thought medically-light therapies were effective, while 29% of prescribing clinicians and 10% of NPT clinicians thought medically-intensive treatments were effective (p=0.001). Prescribing clinicians thought increased access to NPTs improved outcomes, while opinions were less consistent on the impact of restricting opioid prescribing.

Conclusions
Prescribing clinicians and NPT clinicians had varying perspectives of a Medicaid coverage policy to increase evidence-based back pain care. Understanding these perspectives is important for contextualizing policy effectiveness.
Fifty years of the Journal of Perinatal Medicine: an altmetric and bibliometric study
Authors: Brandt Justin S. , Skupski Daniel W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To apply scientometric methodology to characterize influential articles in the Journal of Perinatal Medicine (JPM).

Methods
We performed a cross-sectional study of all JPM articles indexed in Clarivate Web of Science (WOS), NIH Open Citation Collection, and Altmetric Explorer databases (1973–2022). We identified articles cited ≥100 times in WOS and articles with highest Relative Citation Ratios (RCR, a metric of influence based on citations) and highest Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS, a metric of engagement with social media and public platforms). We performed descriptive analysis to characterize influential articles based on citation rates vs. highest AAS, and quantile regression with bootstrapping to estimate the median differences (95% confidence intervals).

Results
We identified 4095 JPM articles that were indexed in the WOS, of which 3,959 (96.7%) had RCRs and 939 (22.9%) had AASs. The study cohort included 34 articles cited ≥100 times and the 34 top-RCR and 34 top-AAS articles, representing 83 unique articles. These influential articles had median 67 citations (IQR 17–114), median RCR 3.4 (IQR 1.7–5.0), and median AAS 14 (IQR 3–28). The majority were observational studies and reviews. Compared to top-AAS articles, top-cited articles had higher median citations (117 [IQR 111–147] vs. 13 [IQR 5–62]; median difference 104.0, 95% CI 86.6–121.4) and citations per year (7.3 [IQR 4.9–10.6] vs. 2.3 [0.7–4.6]; median difference 5.5 [95% CI 3.1–7.9]). Results were similar for top-RCR vs. top-AAS articles.

Conclusions
We identified influential articles during 50 years of JPM, providing insight into the impact of the journal and providing a template for future studies of academic journals.
Generating hypotheses for alternations at low and intermediate levels of schematicity. The use of Memory-based Learning
Authors: Pijpops Dirk , Speelman Dirk , van den Bosch Antal 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAccording to usage-based linguistics, language variation addresses a functional need of the language user. That functional need may be dependent on the lexical realization of the varying constructions. For instance, while it may be useful to have an argument structure alternation express a particular semantic distinction for particular verbs or themes, that same distinction may be less relevant for other verbs or themes. As such, it has been argued that language variation should be investigated at low levels of schematicity, e.g. by studying argument structure alternations separately for various verbs, themes, etc. In this paper, we develop a data-driven procedure to do so, based on Memory-based Learning (MBL). The procedure focusses on generating hypotheses, is scalable, and can work with small datasets. It consists of three steps: (i) choosing features for the MBL classifier, (ii) running MBL analyses and selecting which analyses to put under further scrutiny, and (iii) inspecting which features were most useful in predicting the choice of variant in these analyses. Finally, the hypotheses that are inferred from these features are put to the test on separate data. As an example study, we investigate the Dutchnaar-alternation.

Trismus during tracheal extubation as a complication of general anaesthesia – A case report
Authors: Radkowski Paweł , Kędziora Bartosz , Dawidowska-Fidrych Justyna 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Tracheal extubation is a risky phase of anaesthesia. Most complications that occur when an endotracheal tube is removed are of minor nature, but those that require critical action can end in serious complications or even death. Patient – A 55-year-old woman was admitted for elective transabdominal hysterectomy and adnexal procedures. Anaesthesia – Standard monitoring. For induction, we used fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. The maintenance phase of anaesthesia was without complications. After extubation, the patient presented with severe trismus and mask ventilation was unsuccessful (cannot ventilate) – It was not until 200 mg of succinylcholine was administered that the masseter muscle spasm subsided.
Extubation is a process that must always be planned. A routine approach and lack of a contingency plan is responsible for a number of complications related to the period of patient awakening and associated with the removal of the endotracheal tube. Trismus, in response to extubation, is a phenomenon not described in the literature in non-high risk patients.
