Learning from success cases: ecological analysis of pathways to universal access to reproductive health care in low- and middle-income countries.
Authors: Hellwig Franciele , Barros Aluisio JD 
Published: April 2022

Background Universal access to family planning services is a well-recognized human right and several countries and organizations are committed to this goal. Our objective was to identify countries who improved family planning coverage in the last 40 years and investigate which contexts enabled those advances. Methods Analyses were based on data from publicly available national health surveys carried out since 1986 in Egypt, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Brazil, and Ecuador, selected based on previous evidence. We estimated demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods (mDFPS) for each country and explored inequalities in terms of wealth, women’s education, and women’s age. We also explored contextual differences in terms of women’s empowerment, percentage of population living in extreme poverty, and share of each type of contraceptive. To better understand political and sociocultural contexts, country case studies were included, based on literature review. Results Patterns of mDFPS increase were distinct in the selected countries. Current level of mDFPS coverage ranged between 94% in Brazil and 38% in Afghanistan. All countries experienced important reduction in both gender inequality and extreme poverty. According to the share of each type of contraceptive, most countries presented higher use of short-acting reversible methods. Exceptions were Ecuador, where the most used method is sterilization, and Egypt, which presented higher use of long-acting reversible methods. In the first years analyzed, all countries presented huge gaps in coverage according to wealth, women’s education and women’s age. All countries managed to increase coverage over recent years, especially among women from the more vulnerable groups. Conclusions Family planning coverage increased along with reductions in poverty and gender inequality, with substantial increases in coverage among the most vulnerable in recent years. Policies involving primary health care services, provision of various methods, and high quality training of health providers are crucial to increase coverage.
What are the active ingredients of ‘arts in health’ activities? Development of the INgredients iN ArTs in hEalth (INNATE) Framework
Authors: Warran Katey , Burton Alexandra , Fancourt Daisy 
Published: April 2022

Background: There is a scarcity of research concerning what it is about arts engagement that may activate causal mechanisms leading to effects on health and wellbeing: their active ingredients. Further, the limited studies that do exist have tended to be relevant to specific contexts and types of art forms. The aim of this study was to carry out a comprehensive mapping of potential active ingredients, construct a shared language, and propose a framework and toolkit to support the design, implementation, and evaluation of arts in health activities. Methods: Drawing upon Rapid Appraisal techniques and collaborating with 64 participants working in arts in health, we engaged in a three-phase process: 1) scoping review to inform the development of an initial framework; 2) consultation on the initial framework; and 3) analysis and construction of the INNATE framework. Results: The study identified 139 potential active ingredients within the overarching categories of project, people, and contexts. Project components relate directly to the content of the arts activity itself, intrinsic to what the activity is. The people category denotes how people interact through engagement with the activity and who is involved in this interaction, including activity facilitation. Contexts relates to the activity setting comprising the aggregate of place(s), things, and surroundings. Aligning with complexity science, ingredients may interconnect or feed into one another to prompt mechanisms, and may not be experienced as distinct by participants. Conclusions: Our mapping exercise is the most extensive to date. In relation to arts in health activities, the INNATE framework can support with: design and implementation, such as co-producing an intervention to meet the needs of a particular population; evaluation, such as facilitating the comparison of different interventions and their efficacy; and replication, scalability, and sustainability through enabling detailed reporting and articulation of what an arts in health activity entails.
Mach–Zehnder interferometer comb filter for multi-wavelength mode-locked generation from erbium-doped fiber laser
Authors: Ridha Fay F. , Al-Janabi Abdulhadi , Al-Hayali Sarah Kadhim 
Published: April 2022

A picosecond pulse multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser based on an optically switchable/tunable Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) filter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The MZI configuration is constructed with two 3 dB couplers and two short pieces of endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber with different lengths in each arm. The combination of the MZI and a polarization controller (PC) acts as a selective comb filter and a mode-locking device. By adjusting the pump power or the first PC (PC1) state, the laser can emit up to 10 channels with a 20 nm tuning range (1530 to 1550 nm). Furthermore, by changing the PC1 condition, stable picosecond mode-locking generation with a repetition rate of 13.5 MHz is realized. To achieve wavelength spacing tunable multiple-channel laser emissions, the MZI is configured by incorporating a second PC (PC2) in one arm of the conventional MZI. Four channels of picosecond mode-locking pulses with a repetition rate of 11.6 MHz in the range of 1530–1550 nm are realized by carefully controlling the pump power and/or PC2 state. With the manipulation of intracavity birefringence through PCs with comb filtering via MZI, the proposed structure may be a potential tool in various photonics applications.

We report high-speed, large dynamic range spectral domain interrogation
of fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometric sensors. An optical
interrogation system employing a piezoelectric FP tunable filter and
an array of fiber-Bragg gratings for wavelength referencing is
developed to acquire the reflection spectrum of FP sensors at a high
interrogation speed with a wide wavelength range. A 98 nm wavelength
interrogation range was obtained at the resonance frequency of

of the FP tunable filter. At this
frequency, the resolution of the FP cavity length measurement was
1.8 nm. To examine the performance of the proposed high-speed spectral
domain interrogation scheme, two diaphragm-based fiber-tip FP sensors
(a pressure sensor and acoustic sensor) were interrogated. The
pressure measurement results show that the high-speed spectral domain
interrogation method has the advantages of being robust to light
intensity fluctuations and having a much larger dynamic range compared
with the conventional intensity-based interrogation method. Moreover,
owing to its capability of measuring the absolute FP cavity length,
the proposed interrogation system mitigates the sensitivity drift that
intensity-based interrogation often suffers from. The acoustic
measurement results demonstrate that the high-speed spectral domain
interrogation method is capable of high-frequency acoustic
measurements of up to 20 kHz. This work will benefit many applications
that require high-speed interrogation of fiber-optic FP
interferometric sensors.
¿Cómo analizar la influencia de los actores e ideas internacionales en la formación de políticas educativas nacionales? Una propuesta de un marco de análisis y su aplicación a un caso de El Salvador
Authors: Edwards Jr. D. Brent 
Published: April 2022

Este articulo aborda las distintas perspectivas desarrolladas por académicos acerca de cómo los actores y las ideas internacionales afectan los procesos nacionales que dan como resultado las políticas educativas. Específicamente, se elaboran cuatro perspectivas distintas de la literatura sobre políticas educativas para luego sugerir que la combinación de estas perspectivas puede servir para generar un modelo analítico sobre cómo los actores e ideas internacionales impactan la formación de políticas educativas a nivel nacional. Las cuatro perspectivas presentadas son: (a) la atracción de política, (b) la negociación de política, (c) la imposición de política y (d) la hibridación de política. El segundo propósito de este ensayo tiene que ver con la definición del fenómeno primordial al cual todas las perspectivas pertenecen. Se propone la necesidad de especificar una definición de este fenómeno porque, aún cuando hay varias perspectivas acerca de la influencia de los actores e ideas internacionales en la formación de políticas educativas nacionales, no hay un lenguaje común para discutir este fenómeno ni un entendimiento claro alrededor de los límites conceptuales. El término planteado y delineado aquí para referir al fenómeno que cada perspectiva tiene como su enfoque central es procesos internacionales de formación de políticas educativas. El tercer propósito del presente articulo es aplicar el marco presentado al caso de la formación del Plan 2021 en El Salvador entre 2003–2005. Finalmente, se presentan tres mecanismos para explicar las dinámicas de la formulación de políticas educativas nacionales, a saber: la filtración, la reverberación y la legitimación estructural.

Published: April 2022

A sequential mixed-method design adopting a non-experimental survey and a basic interpretive study was used to explore the intentionally inviting practices of school heads of the Cape Coast metropolis and Ajumako district. Data were collected using 2 X 2 Intentionally-Inviting Matrix and semi-structured interview protocols.
Data collected from the survey were analysed using frequency counts, while the data from the interview were analyzed and put into themes that provided a description on how the adopted practices promote stakeholder participation. The study findings revealed that school heads in Cape Coast metropolis and Ajumako district adopt intentionally inviting practices that address the physical frame of the school, communication with stakeholders, and building relationship with stakeholders to promote stakeholder involvement in schools. The study further revealed that the adopted practices of the school heads foster a sense of pride in the stakeholders to be connected to the school. The practices also increase stakeholder confidence and trust in the school head. The Ghana Education Service should replicate the study in other school districts to identify the practices that support stakeholder participation in schools and also conduct a similar study to elicit the perceptions of stakeholders on practices that enhance their participation in schools.
Comprehensive Perception Approach of Adoption: Innovative Wrap & Plant Technology for Nematodes Management on Yam
Authors: Dedehouanou Houinsou , Affokpon Antoine 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
A new agricultural practice, wrap & plant technology, was experimented in yam fields on three different sites in the centre-north of Benin. These sites were "Savalou", site 1, "Savè", site 2 and “Glazoué”, site 3. The research sought to highlight the perception of various actors from the vegetative to the culinary phases. Two improved practices were introduced: treatment A (wrapping of seed yam cv. Klatchi with banana-fibre paper, impregnated with micro-doses of abamectin), treatment B (wrapping of seed yam of cv. Klatchi using banana-fibre paper alone). On the basis of a Comparative Appraisal Index (CBI), that is, the practice introduced was well appreciated by enumerators if the difference in perception scores of characteristics was greater than zero. In terms of results, treatment A seemed to be the most popular practice on sites 1 and 2. On site 3, treatment B seemed to substitute for A. While in the first two sites, the sensory characteristics of dishes and the agro-morphological descriptors constituted a main component of favourable perception, the descriptors from agro-morphological and harvest phases were very much important at site 3. In terms of the decision to adopt a treatment, it depended significantly amongst other socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents on the sex, number of years of experience, membership in an association, level of education, other income generating activity and the site. For future expansion of introduced practices, agricultural research needs to address socioeconomic characteristics and to improve agro-morphological descriptors.

Attractiveness index of national marine parks: A study on national marine parks in coastal areas of East China Sea
Authors: Wang Li , Wang Guodong , Hou Xiaohong , Chen Zhiwei , Lu Kai 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Balancing the development and protection of national marine parks in a suitable way is of great SIGNIFICANCE for environmental sustainability. Tourism attractiveness is an important indicator for measuring this development. In this study, by searching through online reviews of the national marine parks in the coastal areas of the East China Sea, and by analyzing tourists’ perceptions of them, an indicator system for tourism attraction was established. Natural attributes, supporting facilities, service experience, and tours were taken as secondary indicators. This study combines the analytic hierarchy process with questionnaires to calculate the attractiveness index of national marine parks. The study finds that national marine parks in the coastal areas of the East China Sea have a higher level of tourist satisfaction and attractiveness, but that more attention needs to be paid to supporting facilities, as tourists currently find them insufficient. Among these, natural attributes are an important factor affecting the attractiveness of the marine parks, while special cuisine, customer experience, public transportation, and attitudes are all indicators with higher weight within the attractiveness index. The tourism attractiveness of national marine parks was investigated quantitatively and the indicators affecting the tourism attractiveness index were illustrated clearly.

Authors: Wen Ye , Guo Bing , Zang Wenqian , Lai Jibao , Li Ran 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Under the stress of the global change, rocky desertification has become a serious environmental problem in the Karst Mountain area. At present, few remote sensing monitoring research works on rocky desertification based on feature space model have been conducted and reported. In this study, the Albedo-LST feature space remote sensing monitoring index based on point-point model has been proposed, and subsequently the spatio–temporal evolution pattern and driving mechanism of rocky desertification in Dafang district from 1986 to 2019 were analyzed. The results show that: (1) The point-point Albedo-LST feature space model of rocky desertification has good applicability with the overall accuracy of 90.79%; (2) From 1986 to 2019, the rocky desertification in Dafang district first showed an increasing trend (1986–2005) and then a decreasing trend (2005–2019); (3) The comprehensive evolution frequency of rocky desertification during 2001–2005 was the largest with 7.51% a−1, which was related to the implementation of the Grain for Green Project; (4) The single factor with the largest contribution rates to rocky desertification are land use type, landform, and temperature. The interactive factors with the largest explanatory power are temperature ∩ land use type and landform ∩ land use type. The research results can provide decision support for the prevention and control of rocky desertification in Southwest China.
Research on fault detection and identification methods of nonlinear dynamic process based on ICA
Authors: Xie Chao , Zhang Rui , Bhola Jyoti 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In the present study, nonlinear dynamic process data are mapped into the kernel state space by kernel gauge variable analysis method to obtain decorrelated state data. The time-lapse covariance matrix of the state data is weighted and summed to obtain the time-lapse structure matrix of the state data, and then supervised kernel independent component analysis (SKICA) is established, the independent component feature data is extracted from the status data and the monitoring statistics are constructed to detect the process faults. The data show that kernel independent component analysis (ICA) method (KICA) method can detect slow fault faster than the ICA method, except that the statistical detection ability of F3 and FS is reduced, and the KICA method can significantly improve the detection performance of other faults and statistics. By analyzing the detection results of SKICA method, it is obvious that in the detection process of all five kinds of slow faults, the fault detection capability of SKICA is better than that of ICA and KICA. The results of continuous stirred reactor simulation system show that, compared with the basic linear process, the slow fault detection has a good monitoring performance, it can detect the small deviation in the process sensitively and give alarm information to the slow fault in time, to improve the fault detection rate.
Finite-size effects in one-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensation of photons
Authors: Liu Zhi-Jie , Xie Mi 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The finite-size effect plays a key role in one-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of photons since such condensation cannot occur in the thermodynamic limit due to the linear dispersion relation of photons. However, since a divergence difficulty arises, the previous theoretical analysis of the finite-size effect often only gives the leading-order contribution. In this article, by using an analytical continuation method to overcome the divergence difficulty, we give an analytical treatment for the finite-size effect in BEC. We show that the deviation between experiment and theory becomes much smaller by taking into account the next-to-leading correction.
Microplastics, Marine Copepods & Freshwater Cladocerans
Authors: Goddard Kathryn 
Published: April 2022

Microplastic particles (MPs) less than 5 mm in size swirl and bob in freshwaters and seas around the world. To familiarize college biology students with the pressing issue of microplastic pollution and designing their own experiments, I assigned investigatation into whether marine copepods (Tigriopus californicus) or freshwater cladocerans (Daphnia magna) ingest MPs in the laboratory.
Groups of students produced a title, hypothesis, and annotated bibliography. They developed their experiments in a project planning table. They carried out three weeks of experiments. Students wrote papers or gave poster presentations. They wrote reflections that revealed expected gains, such as recognition of the importance of sample size, and more nuanced gains, such as developing personal views on working with live organisms.
The students found that 20 μm of blue MPs could be seen within the digestive tract and released fecal pellets of Tigriopus californicus within 24 hours. And, 20 μm of red MPs accumulated in the digestive tract of Daphnia magna within two days. The ingestion did not increase death rates over controls (in keeping with much published research on this topic). Students had the opportunity to see and reflect on the direct interaction of organisms with plastic pollution.
Singing Webern, Sounding Webern: Bethany Beardslee, Grace-Lynne Martin, and Marni Nixon, 1950–1957
Authors: Miller David H. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Anton Webern’s vocal music has long been overshadowed by the aphoristic miniatures and rigorously organized twelve-tone works—both largely instrumental genres—for which the composer is best known. Yet over half of Webern’s output consists of vocal works. During the 1950s, as composers and intellectuals celebrated the “instrumental” Webern, an alternative view of the composer was emerging through the performances of three soprano soloists. Bethany Beardslee gave posthumous premieres of three of Webern’s works in New York and recorded his Four Songs op. 12 for Dial Records. On the other side of the country, Grace-Lynne Martin and Marni Nixon performed works by Webern at the Evenings on the Roof in Los Angeles, and collaborated with Robert Craft on Columbia Records’ Anton Webern: The Complete Music. Beardslee, Martin, and Nixon adopted a variety of approaches to learning Webern’s famously difficult works, and their work paid off: all three sopranos earned praise for weathering the extreme technical challenges of Webern’s soprano lines while also delivering musically satisfying performances. Yet these performances have been largely forgotten in the decades since, as a consequence of changing attitudes toward postwar performance practices as well as the sometimes sexist views of male music critics. Nevertheless, the performances of these sopranos constituted a crucial step toward perspectives on Webern that are now current among contemporary performers and scholars, and understanding their contributions is essential to understanding the vocal side of Webern.
La música como forma de intervención social en Argentina. Una conversación con Flavia Mancini
Authors: Szeinfeld Luciana 
Published: April 2022

Al considerar el perfil académico y profesional de Flavia Mancini, nos pareció interesante poder conversar con ella acerca de sus prácticas, tanto en el ámbito de la atención clínica específicamente musicoterapéutica, como en espacios más amplios e interdisciplinarios de intervención social, particularmente en contextos de encierro punitivo en Argentina.
Al dialogar acerca de sus prácticas, hemos podido compartir algunos de los desarrollos teóricos que Flavia ha realizado en sus investigaciones en torno a estas experiencias.
A partir del intercambio, hemos reflexionado sobre los posibles alcances de sus conceptualizaciones a la hora de pensar la música en un sentido más general, es decir, más allá del ámbito específicamente musicoterapéutico. Esto nos permite advertir acerca de las herramientas teóricas que la musicoterapia como disciplina nos puede ofrecer para pensar los posibles sentidos de las prácticas musicales, y, en particular, en la música como forma de intervención social.
Inicios de un grupo de musicoterapia con pacientes en edad adulta con trastorno del espectro autista
Authors: Hernández Sonseca Marta 
Published: April 2022

En este trabajo se ha estudiado un grupo de mujeres autistas recibiendo sesiones de musicoterapia durante tres meses. El interés de este estudio se focaliza en conocer cómo ha sido el proceso inicial de formación del grupo en relación a la musicoterapia. Con esta intervención se ha pretendido demostrar que la aplicación de la musicoterapia en personas TEA favorece la expresión y comunicación, ayudando al control de impulsos y de conductas disfuncionales. La metodología llevada a cabo ha sido completamente vivencial basada en un enfoque de musicoterapia activa. Las actividades guiadas y estructuradas han propiciado una mayor participación y presencia de las pacientes. El repertorio sencillo, partiendo de sus intereses y con tendencia al ámbito infantil ha funcionado. La musicoterapia ha favorecido la expresión verbal, gestual y corporal de las pacientes y ha ayudado a la estabilidad emocional de las pacientes reduciéndose las conductas desadaptativas durante la sesión.
