Abstract
Objective
To investigate the clinical characteristics, the neuroimaging features and associated anomalies observed in children affected by Dandy–Walker malformations (DWM) and variants (DWV) in a single tertiary hospital in Catania and compare our data to their existent in the literature.

Methods
A retrospective case series using the medical records has been performed on 28 children diagnosed with DWM and DWV admitted to a single tertiary section of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Catania, Italy from January 2005 to January 2021. We reviewed the neuroimaging using the new diagnostic criteria of Klein et al.

Results
Associated anomalies were frequently reported. Among these, hydrocephalus was found in 13/28 (48%), and hydrocephalus plus corpus callosum anomalies in three children (10%). We described corpus callosum, cardiac and genitourinary anomalies in 2/28 (7%), 3/28 (10%), and 3/28 (10%), respectively. The most common clinical features were the developmental delay and epilepsy observed in 19/28 (67%) and in 9/28 (32%) of the cases. The first exam at the diagnosis was MRI in 17/28 patients, followed by transfontanellar ultrasound in 5/28, computed tomography in 4/28 and prenatal ultrasound in 2/28. To note, a child with DWM was affected by Down syndrome and one by congenital disorders of N-linked glycosylation (CDG-IId).

Conclusions
Children with DWV were more commonly observed than children with DWM. Hydrocephalus is an anomaly, frequently and equally reported in both DWM and DMV. Perinatal complications were frequent adverse events with severe respiratory distress and need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cognitive involvement and epilepsy were the most common comorbidities. Single DWV is associated with a better developmental outcome.
Proportionality of Trade Secret Remedies in European Union – In Comparison with Patent Law Enforcement
Authors: Mylly Ulla-Maija 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn academic discourse it has been pointed out that many European courts do not pay sufficient attention to assessing the proportionality of patent law remedies. Article 3 of the Enforcement Directive (IPRED), which harmonizes the remedies for all intellectual property rights (IPRs), requires that remedies be proportionate. However, it seems that this requirement is often overlooked, with more attention being paid to the rest of Art. 3, namely the requirements that remedies be efficient and dissuasive. This article contributes to the discussion on the potential over-enforcement of IPRs, but focuses in particular on analyzing the remedies available under the Trade Secret Directive (TSD). Special attention will be paid to the explicit proportionality factors under the TSD. The availability of the bona fide defense under the TSD will also be analyzed. In this article, comparisons will be made between remedies under patent law and those under trade secret law. This article argues that the trade secret regime differs from the patent regime. Therefore, balancing the various interests under the TSD proportionality factors and the bona fide defense is more important under the trade secret regime than under the patent regime. This article seeks both to identify the differences between the two regimes and to dissect possibilities for a more balanced approach to enforcement practices under the IPRED for patent rights.
Behind the Wheel: Systematic Review of Factors Associated with Safe School Bus Transportation for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Authors: Chan Lynette Y. L. , Senserrick Teresa , Saggers Beth 
Published: September 2022

AbstractSchool buses facilitate access to education for many children. This research aimed to systematically review factors associated with safe school bus transportation for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Searches of 5 databases, combining terms denoting NDDs and school buses, for English publications since 2000, yielded only 12 relevant articles among 1524 records. Literature was limited to parent-based studies, guidelines, reviews or commentaries. There was scant attention to the immediate roles of bus drivers and aides. Literature recommendations included increased attention to the needs of children with NDDs and improved communication, collaboration, support and training across all key stakeholders, particularly to improve implementation of individual child safety plans. Further research is needed on this critical support service for many families.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Using 6 years of data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health, the present study investigated ethnic minority-White disparities in self-rated health and community functioning for persons with untreated mental illness. Comparing minority and White persons with untreated severe mental illness (SMI) and mild and moderate mental illness (MMMI), the study sought evidence of “double jeopardy”: that minority persons with mental illness suffer an added burden from being members of ethnic minority groups. For African Americans with SMI and MMMI, results indicated that the odds were greater of living in poverty, being unemployed, and being arrested in the past year, and for African Americans with SMI, the odds were greater of reporting fair/poor health. For Native Americans/Alaska Native persons with MMMI, the odds were greater of living in poverty and being arrested in the past year. For Latinx persons with SMI and MMMI, the odds were greater of living in poverty and for Latinx persons with SMI the odds were greater of reporting fair/poor health. Results indicate that African Americans with mental illness suffer pervasive adversity relative to Whites and Native Americans/Alaska Natives and Latinx persons do so selectively.
A Study of Immigrant Latinas Perspectives of Caring for their Diabetes
Authors: Titus Sharon K. , Quiles–Pollard Gina 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Hispanic–Americans are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Five million adult Hispanic Americans are estimated to have been diagnosed with T2D. Among US Hispanics, Mexicans have the highest rate (14.4%) of diabetes. Further, Hispanics are also twice as likely as non-Hispanics Whites to die from diabetes, making it the fifth leading cause of their death and a serious health problem in Hispanic communities. Yet, little is understood of what rural immigrant Latinas do to care for their diabetes health. In-depth interviews (3 focus groups) and thematic analysis found 16 Latinas had T2D on average for 9 years; all emigrated to the USA from Mexico, lived in the USA for an average of 27 years, and worked (60%). Within the domain of “What do you do to take care of your health?” Latinas desired to adhere to exercise, controlled diet, and medications, but perceived a powerful barrier to a healthy life was the American lifestyle that included long work days, more money to purchase unhealthy foods and a desire for them, and a lack of time for other forms of exercise. Despite the Latina participants’ years of experience about living with T2D in the US, they still struggled to adhere to healthy behaviors. Future research should address the longer time Hispanic immigrants live in the US with the more at-risk they become for diminished health.
Multiple spatial residual network for object detection

Published: September 2022

AbstractMany residual network-based methods have been proposed to perform object detection. However, most of them may lead to overfitting or cannot perform well in small object detection and alleviate the problem of overfitting. We propose a multiple spatial residual network (MSRNet) for object detection. Particularly, our method is based on central point detection algorithm. Our proposed MSRNet employs a residual network as the backbone. The resulting features are processed by our proposed residual channel pooling module. We then construct a multi-scale feature transposed residual fusion structure consists of three overlapping stacked residual convolution modules and a transpose convolution function. Finally, we use the Center structure to process the high-resolution feature image for obtaining the final prediction detection result. Experimental results on PASCAL VOC dataset and COCO dataset confirm that the MSRNet has competitive accuracy compared with several other classical object detection algorithms, while providing a unified framework for training and reasoning. The MSRNet runs on GeForce RTX 2080Ti.

Published: September 2022

AbstractPeatlands as natural carbon sinks have a major impact on the climate balance and should therefore be monitored and protected. The hydrology of the peatland serves as an indicator of the carbon storage capacity. Hence, we investigate the question how suitable different remote sensing data are for monitoring the size of open water surface and the water table depth (WTD) of a peatland ecosystem. Furthermore, we examine the potential of combining remote sensing data for this purpose. We use C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from Sentinel-1 and multi-spectral data from Sentinel-2. The radar backscatter $$\sigma ^0$$

A Contextualized Acceptance Model for Proactive Smart Services
Authors: Graf-Drasch Valerie , Röglinger Maximilian , Wenninger Annette , Hosseini Sabiölla 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThanks to digital technologies, information about customer needs and contexts is becoming accessible ever more easily and service providers are more closely connected to customers. This development enables services to act on behalf of customers and to proactively initiate the customer interactions. Such services are so-called proactive smart services (PASS) and are a subgroup of smart services. Research suggests that service providers often face the challenge to gain customers’ acceptance of innovative services. In response to this call for action and the change in customer interaction, which can have far-reaching consequences in the lives of customers, we examined the antecedents that explain customers’ acceptance of PASS using a contextualized approach. Hence, we identified PASS-specific antecedents, developed a contextualized acceptance model (UTAUT2-PASS) while drawing from general acceptance theory, and validated it empirically. A comparison of our contextualized model with UTAUT2 as an established yet uncontextualized model confirmed the outperformance of our contextualized model. Our findings advance the academic understanding of PASS and help service providers design PASS for customer acceptance.
Research on the performance of hydraulic vibratory hammer with coupled dynamic model
Authors: Lulu Gao , Dongyue Wang , Shite Wang 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHydraulic vibratory hammer is a key equipment during piling process, and mechanical, hydraulic part of the hammer and workload are coupled with each other during operation. The vibration performance depends on the design parameters and the driving system. In order to investigate the vibration performance, a coupled dynamic model is established for hydraulic vibratory hammer, in which the mechanical model of hammer, hydraulic model for driving, and the model of workload are included. The filed test was carried out to validate the dynamic model under idle and operating conditions. Pressure and flow of the hydraulic driving system and acceleration of the mechanical part were obtained during different test conditions. The results of test and simulation were analyzed in time and frequency domain to validate the coupled dynamic model. Then, effects of different eccentric block parameters on the vibration performance were investigated based on the validated model, including radius, thickness, and angle of the eccentric block. Further the design parameters of optimal vibration performance of the hammer are obtained under the constraints of hammer structure, in which the angle is 90°, thickness is 190 mm, and radius is 175 mm.Article Highlights

We established a coupled dynamic model of the hydraulic vibratory hammer, including the mechanical model of hammer, hydraulic model for driving, and the simplified model of workload.;

The field test is proceeded to validate the model under idle and operating condition; the dynamic response of the mechanical part and hydraulic driving part is analyzed in time and frequency domain;

The performance of the hammer is analyzed with the coupled dynamic model, in which better performance of the hammer is obtained. The model-based method also provides a rapid and economical solution for the performance optimization of the hammer.
Experimental investigation of ribbing pattern effect on the bonding qualities of water jet cut steel reinforcement
Authors: Higuchi Rayna , Jewett Jackson L. , Carstensen Josephine V. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWith the rise of interest in digital fabrication of reinforced concrete structures, a great number of structural concrete designs that depart from standard prismatic shapes are being suggested. This has prompted an exploration of steel reinforcement strategies that are alternative to the classical deformed or “ribbed” rebars. One such is to cut internal reinforcement from steel plates using a waterjet cutting machine. Advantages of automated waterjet cutting steel reinforcement include high precision and accuracy, and minimal expense for increasing the complexity of (2D) reinforcement layouts. However, it is not known how the application of ribbing patterns along the cut edge of reinforcing bars affects the steel–concrete bond. This work conducts experimental pullout tests of waterjet-cut steel plate reinforcement with three different ribbing patterns and compares the bond strength with equivalent classic rebars. Two of the tested geometries averaged within 90–91% of the pull-out force of conventional rebar, demonstrating viability of this alternative reinforcement method.

Published: September 2022

Abstract

Introduction and importance
The most common congenital defect involving the face and jaws is cleft lip and palate. Exactly where they appear is determined by the locations at which fusion of the various facial processes failed to occur. The lip or the lip and palate together fail to close in approximately 1–1.5 in every 1000 babies born.

Case presentation
The present case report is of a 36-week- and 4-day-old male fetus with a birth weight of 2100 gr, a height of 41 cm, and a head circumference of 35 cm. He was born to a 42-year-old mother by Cesarean section at Kosar Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Urmia, Iran. In the initial physical examination, hydrocephalus, eye abnormalities, cleft lip, and cleft palate were observed. Unfortunately, the newborn expired two days after birth.

Clinical discussion
The main characteristics of this syndrome are mental retardation, anophthalmia or microphthalmia, abnormal nostrils, and disorders of the central nervous system.

Conclusion
Early diagnosis during pregnancy using diagnostic methods and proper management of this abnormality should be strongly emphasized to prevent further harm to the newborn and the mother with this syndrome.

Published: September 2022

Abstract

Introduction and importance
Fractures of the forearm typically can be managed by surgical fixation with high success rate. However, some proportion of patients may show post-operative complications, including non-union fracture.

Case presentation
We report a unique case of ulnar non-union but union fracture of radius which concurrently happened in a woman presenting 1 year after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure. The patient did not have any complaints but there is some swelling in the ulnar region. Intraoperative findings revealed a darkening tissue near the ulnar implants with the histopathological analysis showed infiltration of lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells, histiocytes, and some giant cells. Culture from the non-union tissue of ulna also showed no growth of microorganism which suggest an aseptic case of non-union.

Clinical discussion
This case was successfully managed by performing re-ORIF along with bone grafting. At the follow-up visits two months and six months after surgery, there is no complaints or complications observed and union of ulna was already achieved.

Conclusions
We suggest that although rare, non-union fractures of ulna and union fractures of radius may happened concurrently in the same patient. Non-union fracture of forearm can be successfully managed by internal fixation with bone grafting.

Diagnostic performance of the six-item cognitive impairment test as first-step screening for dementia: a meta-analysis
Authors: Park Seong-Hi 
Published: September 2022

AbstractObjective:Dementia, a slowly progressive disease, is poorly diagnosed. One reason is that it is difficult to use the screening tools. The six-item cognitive impairment test (6-CIT) is brief, with six items, and has a confirmed scoring system that can easily be used by an average individual. This review aimed to analyze the predictive validity of the 6-CIT including comparisons with other tools such as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).Methods:Literature searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycArticles using the dementia and 6-CITas keywords. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias.Results:Seven studies with 6,831 participants that met the selection criteria were included. The pooled sensitivity of the 6-CIT analyzed in seven studies was 0.82 (95% CI 0.73–0.89), the pooled specificity was 0.87, and the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve was 0.90 (SE = 0.04). The diagnostic performance of the 6-CIT and MMSE was compared in three studies. The pooled sensitivity of the 6-CIT was 0.85, the pooled specificity was 0.91, and the sROC curve was 0.91, whereas the MMSE values were 0.70, 0.93, and 0.68, respectively.Conclusion:This review presents evidence that the 6-CIT has excellent dementia screening performance and could be used as a potential alternative to the MMSE. The 6-CIT may provide an opportunity for early detection of dementia.
Policing Interfaith Marriages: Constitutional Infidelity of the Love Jihad Ordinance
Authors: Sonkar Sumit 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Indian Constitution guarantees that individuals have the freedom to choose their partners free from state interference. However, the Uttar Pradesh Vidhi Virudh Dharma Samparivartan Pratishedh Adhyadesh, 2020 (Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Law, 2020) prohibits religious conversion to the extent that it assumes all conversions are illegal, which may have a negative impact on interfaith marriages involving consenting adults. The author argues that the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Ordinance forbidding religious conversion are vague and inadequate for addressing forceful or unlawful conversion for marriages, do not demonstrate any reasonable relation to the object of the legislation, and are constitutionally repugnant. The author concludes that by conferring police powers on state agencies to intervene in interfaith marriages, the Uttar Pradesh Ordinance erodes citizens’ freedom to choose a partner and their individual autonomy, privacy, and personal liberty—rights that are enshrined under India’s constitution.
Placing the 2020 Belarusian Protests in Historical Context: Political Attitudes and Participation during Lukashenko’s Presidency
Authors: Hansen Michael A. , Ford Nicolè M. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn the wake of the most recent protests in Belarus following the 2020 Presidential Election, it is useful to explore patterns of satisfaction with the political system, confidence in political institutions, and political participation at different points in time during President Lukashenko’s rule. We utilize Wave 3 of the World Values Study (WVS) and Wave 7 of the Joint European Values Study (EVS)/WVS to (1) analyze whether citizens’ dissatisfaction with the Belarusian government differed between 1996 and 2018, and (2) whether there was a change in political participation during that period. Responses over time suggest that satisfaction with the government and confidence in institutions was not lower in 2018 than it had been in 1996. However, as we discuss in the article, this may be an artifact of authoritarian consolidation and concern/fears about revealing preferences. We also find that the willingness to engage in protests remained more or less the same between these two time periods, especially among those dissatisfied with the political system. These results suggest that once highly dissatisfied citizens took to the streets in 2020, a number of internal and external factors might have triggered a bandwagon effect that pushed other citizens to also join the demonstrations.
