Towards better home design for people in temporary accommodation: exploring relationships between meanings of home, activities, and indoor environmental quality
Authors: Overtoom Marjolein E. , Elsinga Marja G. , Bluyssen Philomena M. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractPeople living in short-term rental housing, henceforth temporary housing, are rarely consulted by professionals involved in the design process, whether regarding new or refurbished buildings. Knowing what is required for temporary dwellers to feel at home and how their meanings of home relate to household characteristics, activities, and indoor environmental quality, might result in better designs for these commonly small dwellings. To explore the views of temporary occupants about their home environment, we designed and conducted a survey directed to young people in the Netherlands, likely to be familiar with living in temporary accommodation (141 university students, 58 refugees who have received a permit to stay; henceforth named permit holders), 23 persons who were working 4 days and studying 1 day; henceforth named starters). Through factor analysis, six meanings of home were found to be statistically significant: Representation, privacy, sociability, rootedness, future, and appropriation. Multiple regression analyses and analyses of variance indicated that meanings of home were related to some household characteristics and the presence of light and cleanliness. Our study showed that measuring meanings of home might help understand not only how dwellings are used but also how to improve the design of small temporary dwellings. For instance, more possibilities for good or natural light, storage, and the display of personal possessions should be incorporated into the design of these small dwellings.
Effect of Oxidizer on PANI for Producing BaTiO3@PANI Perovskite Composites and Their Electrical and Electrochemical Properties
Authors: Qasim Khaled F. , Mousa Mahmoud A. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractPolyaniline (PANI) has received significant attention in basic and applied studies because it has electrical and electrochemical properties comparable to conventional semiconductors and metals. PANI's electrical and electrochemical properties can be controlled through its preparation methods. Accordingly, in the present work, two different samples of PANI were prepared by the polymerization of aniline monomer via in situ polymerization method using two different oxidizers of dichromate (PANI (1)) and persulphate (PANI (2)). The products were blended with BaTiO3 (BTO) to form BTO@PANI composites. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM illustrated the covering of PANI layers on the BTO nanoparticles. The electrical and electrochemical properties of the prepared composites were studied. The BTO@PANI(2) composite sample showed a conductivity of 1.2 × 10–3 S/cm higher than that found for each BTO@PANI(1) 9.1 × 10–4 S/cm and its constituents. The supercapacity showed higher capacity values of 70 F/g, and 76 F/g for BTO@PANI(1), and BTO@PANI(2), respectively, which are higher than its constituents.

What is Intergenerational Storytelling? Defining the Critical Issues for Aging Research in the Humanities
Authors: Charise Andrea , Pang Celeste , Khalfan Kaamil Ali 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Intergenerational storytelling (IGS) has recently emerged as an arts- and humanities-focused approach to aging research. Despite growing appeal and applications, however, IGS methods, practices, and foundational concepts remain indistinct. In response to such heterogeneity, our objective was to comprehensively describe the state of IGS in aging research and assess the critical (e.g., conceptual, ethical, and social justice) issues raised by its current practice. Six databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, AgeLine, and Sociological Abstracts) were searched using search terms relating to age, intergenerational, story, and storytelling. Peer-reviewed, English-language studies conducted with participants residing in non-clinical settings were included. One thousand one hundred six (1106) studies were initially retrieved; 70 underwent full review, and 26 fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Most studies characterized IGS as a practice involving older adults (> 50 years old) and conventionally-aged postsecondary/college students (17–19 years old). Typical methodologies included oral and, in more recent literature, digital storytelling. Critical issues included inconsistently reported participant data, vast variations in study design and methods, undefined key concepts, including younger vs. older cohorts, generation, storytelling, and whether IGS comprised an intentional research method or a retrospective outcome. While IGS holds promise as an emerging field of arts- and humanities-based aging research, current limitations include a lack of shared data profiles and comparable study designs, limited cross-cultural representation, and insufficiently intersectional analysis of widespread IGS practices. To encourage more robust standards for future study design, data collection, and researcher reflexivity, we propose seven evidence-based recommendations for evolving IGS as a humanities-based approach to research in aging and intergenerational relations.
The use of respiratory muscle training in patients with pulmonary dysfunction, internal diseases or central nervous system disorders: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Objective
The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of RMT in internal and central nervous system disorders, on pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life.

Methods
The inclusion criteria were (1) publications designed as Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), with (2) participants being adults with pulmonary dysfunction caused by an internal disease or central nervous system disorder, (3) an intervention defined as RMT (either IMT or EMT) and (4) with the assessment of exercise capacity, respiratory function and quality of life. For the methodological quality assessment of risk of bias, likewise statistical analysis and meta-analysis the RevMan version 5.3 software and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool were used. Two authors independently analysed the following databases for relevant research articles: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase.

Results
From a total of 2200 records, the systematic review includes 29 RCT with an overall sample size of 1155 patients. Results suggest that patients with internal and central nervous system disorders who underwent RMT had better quality of life and improved significantly their performance in exercise capacity and in respiratory function assessed with FVC and MIP when compared to control conditions (i.e. no intervention, sham training, placebo or conventional treatments).

Conclusion
Respiratory muscle training seems to be more effective than control conditions (i.e. no intervention, sham training, placebo or conventional treatment), in patients with pulmonary dysfunction due to internal and central nervous system disorders, for quality of life, exercise capacity and respiratory function assessed with MIP and FVC, but not with FEV1.
The Role of Legal System and Socioeconomic Aspects in the Environmental Quality Drive of the Global South

Published: April 2022

AbstractThe increasing environmental challenges associated with the Global South is potentially associated with the socioeconomic changes amid potential institutional deficiencies such as the weak or inefficient environmental regulation. Thus, this twenty-first century challenge has increasingly necessitated more climate action from the Global South as championed by the developed economies. On this note, examines the environmental aspects of law and order (LO) vis-à-vis legal system and socioeconomic (SE) indexes of the Political Risk Services for a panel of 80 selected Global South countries over the period 1984–2014. Additionally, by employing the economic growth vis-à-vis the Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDPC) as additional explanatory variable, the study employs the more recent experimental techniques of Mean Group Estimator (MG), the Augmented Mean Group Estimator (AMG) and the Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG). Importantly, with the more efficient CCEMG, the study found that the strength of the legal system in the Global South (although not statistically significant) is a crucial factor to mitigated carbon emission in the panel countries. However, the study found that an improved socioeconomic condition and economic expansion is detrimental to the Global South’s environmental quality. Furthermore, the Granger causality result implied that each of LO, SE and GDPC exhibits a feedback relationship with carbon emissions. Hence, the study suggests the need for a stronger implementation of environmental regulations through a revitalized legal system and some concerted socioeconomic policies that address poverty and unemployment among other factors.
A Novel Group Paging Control Method for Massive MTC Accesses in LTE Networks

Published: April 2022

AbstractThe fifth-generation (5G) systems have to deal with massive deployment of machine-type-communication (MTC) devices. System overload may occur during a random access procedure under a limited number of preamble resources and physical uplink shared channel resources especially when there exist massive MTC devices in a cell. In order to resolve the system overload (caused by the massive MTC deployment), the 3GPP proposed the adopted a group paging (GP)-based uplink access technique. But its performances dramatically decrease as the number of MTC devices increases. In this paper we propose a novel method, named ACB-based group paging overload control method (AGO). To reduce the number of simultaneous access MTC devices, AGO first scatters the MTC devices over a GP interval, and then automatically adjusts ACB parameters according to the load conditions. By doing so, AGO achieves high-channel access probability for MTC devices. Simulation results show that this method is superior to the GP and Pre-backoff mechanisms in terms of success and collision probability, average access latency and resource utilization rate.
The New Explanatory Objection Against the Fitting Attitude Account of Value
Authors: Orsi Francesco , Garcia Andrés G. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe explanatory objection against the fitting attitude account of value states that if the properties of attitudes explain fittingness facts, but do not always explain value facts, then value facts cannot be identical with or reduced to fittingness facts. One reply to this objection is to claim that the constitutive properties of attitudes also explain value facts, for they are enablers for the value possessed by an object (the “enabling maneuver”). In this paper we argue that the enabling maneuver exposes FA to a new explanatory objection, to the extent that the explanatory role played by the constitutive properties of attitudes in value facts is assumed to be different from the explanatory role they play in fittingness facts.
Learning about latent dynamic trading demand $$^*$$
Authors: Chen Xiao , Choi Jin Hyuk , Larsen Kasper , Seppi Duane J. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractWe present an equilibrium model of dynamic trading, learning, and pricing by strategic investors with trading targets and price impact. Since trading targets are private, investors filter the child order flow dynamically over time to estimate the latent underlying parent trading demand imbalance and to forecast its impact on subsequent price-pressure dynamics. We prove existence of an equilibrium and solve for equilibrium trading strategies and prices as the solution to a system of coupled ODEs. Trading strategies are combinations of trading towards investor targets, liquidity provision for other investors’ demands, and speculation based on learning about latent underlying trading-demand imbalances.
Exploring synergies between the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and involuntary resettlement guidelines: the case of Mozambique’s natural gas project
Authors: Otsuki Kei , Steel Griet , Panquene Celio 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis paper explores synergies between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its roadmap, and existing involuntary resettlement guidelines. On one hand, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development views displacement as a humanitarian problem but fails to address the potential effects of SDG-induced processes of economic and physical displacement and involuntary resettlement. On the other, involuntary resettlement guidelines pay limited attention to the sustainable development of resettled people as well as to the society in which resettlement becomes embedded. This paper explores possibilities to establish synergies between the SDGs and involuntary resettlement by drawing on the case of Mozambique’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which was showcased in the Government of Mozambique’s 2020 Voluntary National Review (VNR) of SDG progress. The paper will critically analyse how Mozambique as a ‘donor darling’ remains silent about displacement and resettlement processes induced by an LNG project that is used to show its commitment to multiple SDGs. The paper shows that there is a misalignment between how SDGs are used to evaluate a development project and how involuntary resettlement guidelines are applied to the same project. The paper argues that, to truly ‘leave no one behind’, the SDGs and involuntary resettlement guidelines need to be realigned by integrating SDG-induced displacement and resettlement into SDG10 on migration and inequality, into SDG16 on conflicts, and SDG17 on global partnerships.

AbstractTreatment of OSA with CPAP is currently the recommended treatment and has the greatest evidence of efficacy on AHI, symptoms and comorbidities. Symptomatic patients with moderate-severe OSA generally have good adherence to CPAP therapy, while those with mild OSA, female, young and generally paucisymptomatic, have lower CPAP adherence, especially in the medium and long term. The recent identification of different clinical and pathophysiological phenotypes of OSA has paved the way for alternative treatments to CPAP, leading to an increasingly personalized therapy. Weight loss and lifestyle modifications are highly recommended in all obese or overweight patients. Mandibular advancement devices (MAD), positional therapy (PT) and hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HSN) are recent and personalized alternative therapies on which there is promising and encouraging data but with still little strong scientific evidence. The purpose of this review is to compare the efficacy, adherence and costs of various therapeutic options for OSA patients in the light of recent evidence and to provide useful guidance for specialists.
Correlation Between Ultrasound-Measured Diameter and Blood Flow Velocity of the Internal Jugular Veins with the Preoperative Blood Volume in Elderly Patients

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The study aimed to explore the correlation of the diameter and blood flow velocity of the internal jugular vein with the preoperative blood volume in elderly patients and to providence for rapid evaluation of preoperative blood volume with ultrasound in elderly patients. Thirty patients over 65 years old were recruited in the study. Patient’s central venous pressure (CVP) was recorded before anesthesia. The maximum diameter (Dmax) and the minimum diameter (Dmin) of the left internal jugular vein were measured by M type ultrasound and the respiratory variation index (RVI), defined as (Dmax − Dmin) / Dmax × 100%, was calculated. The maximum blood flow velocity (BVmax) and the minimum blood flow velocity (BVmin) were measured by Doppler ultrasound, and the blood flow variation index (BVI), defined as (BVmax − BVmin) / BVmax × 100%, was calculated. Then, each of the patients was given with 5 ml/kg crystalloid solution, and the relevant data were measured again and compared to that before infusion. The correlation between each measurement index and CVP, and their efficiency in predicting CVP > 6 mmHg were statistically evaluated. No matter before or after infusion, Dmax, Dmin, BVmax, and BVmin were positively correlated with CVP (Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)); and RVI was negatively correlated with CVP (Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)); however, BVI is negatively correlated with the CVP with no statistically significant difference. Through the analysis of ROC curve, Dmax, Dmin, RVI, BVmax, and BVmin could be used to predict the CVP > 6 mmHg in these patients, and the best index was BVmax; BVI diagnosis was not effective. Ultrasonic measurements of internal jugular vein diameter, respiratory variability, and blood flow velocity were correlated with preoperative CVP in elderly patients, indicating that these indexes could potentially be used to evaluate the preoperative blood volume in elderly patients.

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the provenance of the Oligocene sandstones exposed at Gebel Qatrani Formation at the Fayum Province and analogues subsurface Oligocene sandstone intervals cored from 2.7 to 5.12 km at the Nile Delta. The analysis and quantification of heavy mineral assemblages revealed that the two sites maintain similar heavy mineral suites but with variable concentrations and different patterns. The provenance reliable heavy mineral indices indicate that the exposed Oligocene sandstones at Gebel Qatrani Formation are much more mature than those of the Oligocene sandstone intervals at the Nile Delta. The lower and the upper members of Qatrani Formation display heavy mineral contents indicating more maturation than the middle member which reflects an influx of less mature sandstone. The middle member may reflect a tectonic reconfiguration of the hinterland during its deposition. The reliable heavy mineral indicators of the Oligocene sandstones at the Nile delta maintain their higher values at different depths along the entire wells indicating a significant rejuvenation of the source area and hence sand supply from a source(s) that was not far distant. In contrast, Habbar-1 well sand samples (cored from 3.8 to 4.5 km) display the highest pyroxene values along with considerable contents of amphibole, mica, sillimanite, and kyanite indicating transport from a shorter distant source including a metamorphic one. Thirty seismic cross sections are interpreted and used to construct isopach maps which revealed the diagenetic effect of the heavy mineral suits with depth. That will subsequently affect the reserving characteristics of Oligocene sand intervals. Moreover, according to the estimated petrophysical parameters, the Oligocene intervals in Habbar-1 and Port Fouad Marine Deep-1 wells are very promising.
Science-Based Buddhist Practice: an Illustration Using Doctrinal Charts of Won Buddhism

Published: April 2022

AbstractThe recognition of mindfulness-based interventions as an effective approach to address psychological distress and improve well-being has stimulated the development of a multitude of programs, each designed for specific applications. While many mindfulness-based interventions are focused on addressing particular psychological needs, so-called second-generation mindfulness-based interventions typically include overtly spiritual content but also remain secular in their delivery. More recently, explicitly religion-themed mindfulness programs have emerged that are yet to be evaluated scientifically, raising questions as to how this to occur in the most appropriate manner. Referring to doctrinal charts in Won Buddhism, we illustrate an example of how the distinction can be made transparent between content that can be subjected to scientific inquiry and content related to religious and personal beliefs. By delineating elements of belief from practice, areas can be identified that are open for scientific verification without causing offense. Program participants and other practitioners can then clearly identify the specific aspects for which there is widely accepted evidence for their effectiveness, which may then also be communicated as science-based Buddhist practices.

AbstractPatients with medically refractory non-acute intracranial artery occlusion (ICAO) are difficult to treat. The optimal intervention for these patients is not known. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for non-acute ICAO. Consecutive patients with symptomatic medically refractory atherosclerotic non-acute ICAO from January 2015 to July 2021 who underwent DCB treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The rates of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and death within 30 days and the follow-up results were evaluated. A total of 148 patients were enrolled in this study. The 30-day rate of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and death was 8.8%. During the 25.8 ± 15.8-month clinical follow-up period, the rate of outcome beyond 30 days was 4.7%. In the 66 patients with vessel imaging follow-up, 13.6% (9/66) had restenosis. The present study suggests that DCB dilatation is a feasible and effective alternative in carefully selected patients with symptomatic non-acute ICAO.
