Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression conversion exposure and their correlates among LGBTQI2+ persons in Québec, Canada
Authors: Blais Martin , Cannas Aghedu Fabio , Ashley Florence , Samoilenko Mariia , Chamberland Line , Côté Isabel 
Published: April 2022

Background
Despite greater acceptance of sexual and gender diversity and the scientific consensus that same-gender attraction, creative gender expression, and transness are not mental illnesses, LGBTQI2+ persons are still commonly told that they can or should change their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression (SOGIE). The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of SOGIE conversion efforts, including their sociodemographic correlates, among LGBTQI2+ persons.

Methods
Using community-based sampling, we assessed SOGIE conversion attempts and involvement in conversion services of 3,261 LGBTQI2+ persons aged 18 years and older in Quebec, Canada.

Results
A quarter of respondents experienced SOGIE conversion attempts, and fewer than 5% were involved in conversion services. Over half of those who were involved in SOGIE conversion services consented to them, but the services’ goals were made clear and explicit to only 55% and 30% of those who engaged in SO and GIE conversion, respectively. The results also suggest that family plays a key role in SOGIE conversion attempts and services utilization, and that indigenous, intersex, transgender, non-binary, and asexual persons, people of colour, as well as individuals whose sexual orientation is not monosexual (i.e., bisexual, pansexual) were more likely to have been exposed to conversion attempts and involved in conversion services.

Conclusions
This study found that the prevalence of conversion efforts is substantial. Interventions to protect LGBTQI2+ people from such attempts should focus not only on legal bans, but also on supporting families who need to be counseled in accepting sexual and gender diversity. Health professionals need to be adequately trained in LGBTQI2+ affirmative approaches. Religious therapists should consult with colleagues and undergo supervision to ensure that their religious beliefs do not interfere with their practice.

Background
Impulse control disorders are detrimental neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Increased impulsivity is a predisposing factor for impulse control disorders and should therefore be controlled. Recently, mindfulness meditation as a non-drug therapy has been reported to be useful in improving neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as impulsivity.

Methods
We performed a prospective single-arm, open-label pilot trial to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation to control impulsivity in patients with Parkinson’s disease (UMIN clinical trials registry: UMIN000037779).

Results
Twenty patients with Parkinson’s disease were enrolled in an 8-week mindfulness meditation program. As a primary outcome, we investigated whether the score of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) was significantly reduced after the intervention. As an exploratory examination, functional connectivity changes were also assessed by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. After the intervention, the BIS-11 score was decreased from 59.5 [55.6, 63.3] (mean [95% confidence interval]) to 55.2 [50.3, 60.1] (ΔBIS-11: -4.2, [-7.5, -0.9]). Functional connectivity was increased in the default mode network (DMN) at a cluster including the precuneus, posterior cingulate gyrus, and left posterior lobe (false discovery rate-adjusted p [FDR-p] = 0.046) and in the right frontoparietal network (FPN) at the medial frontal lobe (FDR-p = 0.039).

Conclusions
This open-label, single-arm pilot study provided preliminary data for mindfulness meditation to control the impulsivity of patients with PD. A brief mindfulness meditation program may be effective in controlling impulsivity in PD and may change the functional connectivity of the DMN and right FPN.
Comparison of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness in non-diabetic chronic kidney disease and controls
Authors: Chow Jun Yong , She Poh Fong , Pee Xu Kent , Wan Muda Wan Norliza , Catherine Bastion Mae-Lynn 
Published: April 2022

Objective
This study aimed to compare the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and macular thickness (MT) between patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (NDCKD) and controls, as well as between different stages of NDCKD. We also evaluated the correlation between pRNFL thickness and MT with duration of NDCKD.

Methods
This was a comparative cross-sectional study. Subjects were divided into NDCKD and control groups. Both pRNFL thickness and MT, including center subfield thickness (CST), average MT as well as average ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) were measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. One-way ANCOVA test was used to compare the differences in pRNFL and MT between NDCKD and controls, as well as between the different stages of NDCKD. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients were employed to determine the effects of NDCKD duration on pRNFL thickness and MT.

Results
A total of 132 subjects were recruited, 66 with NDCKD and 66 controls. There was a statistically significant difference in superior (110.74 ± 23.35 vs 117.36 ± 16.17 μm, p = 0.022), nasal (65.97 ± 12.90 vs 69.35 ± 10.17 μm, p = 0.006), inferior quadrant (117.44 ± 23.98 vs 126.15 ± 14.75 μm, p = 0.006), average pRNFL (90.36 ± 14.93 vs 95.42 ± 9.87 μm, p = 0.005), CST (231.89 ± 26.72 vs 243.30 ± 21.05 μm, p = 0.006), average MT (268.88 ± 20.21 vs 274.92 ± 12.79 μm, p = 0.020) and average GC-IPL (75.48 ± 12.44 vs 81.56 ± 6.48, p = 0.001) values between the NDCKD group and controls. The superior quadrant (p = 0.007), nasal quadrant (p = 0.030), inferior quadrant (p = 0.047), average pRNFL (p = 0.006), average MT (p = 0.001) and average GC-IPL (p = 0.001) differed significantly between different stages of NDCKD. There was no correlation between pRNFL thickness and MT with duration of NDCKD.

Conclusion
CST, average MT, average GC-IPL thickness, average pRNFL and all quadrants of pRNFL except the temporal quadrant were significantly thinner in NDCKD patients compared to controls. These changes were associated with the severity of CKD, but not its duration.

Shape coefficient of impact-echo for small-size short cylinder/circular tube structures
Authors: Yao Fei , Zhuang Jiachun , Abulikemu Abula 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The results tested by the impact-echo method of the small-size short cylinder/circular tube structure were fundamentally different from that of the large-size long one. This phenomenon cannot be described by the existing calculation formulas. To modify the classical calculation formula, finite element models of various sizes of small-size short cylinder/circular tube structures, including 80 cylinders and 125 circular tubes, were established. Modal analysis frequency was compared with numerical simulation of impact-echo frequency under partial working conditions. In addition, the impact-echo frequency of whole working conditions was counted for later analysis. The impact-echo frequency correction formulas of the small-size short cylinder/circular tube considering the model length and the cross-sectional size of the cylinder/circular tube were proposed. Moreover, their reliabilities were verified through tests. The results showed that the impact-echo frequency of the small-size short cylinder structure increased linearly with the increase in diameter, decreased with the increase in length, whereas the relationship among frequency, outer diameter, and wall thickness of the circular tube component was complicated. Moreover, the modal of the whole member was excited rather than the free modal of the cross section of the large-size cylinder/circular tube when the small-size short one was impacted.
Effect of reinforcement particle amounts on dry sliding wear behavior of shot-peened SiC/A356 composites
Authors: Yolcu Coşkun , Kahraman Fatih 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Aluminum matrix composites focus primarily on improving mechanical properties such as hardness and wear, however, the softness of the aluminum matrix and thermal coefficient difference between matrix and reinforcement adversely affect these properties. In the present paper, the wear properties of aluminum matrix composites including different amounts of reinforcement were investigated before and after the shot peening process which was used for decreasing the harmful effects as mentioned. The experimental studies clearly reveal that shot peening, which is a mechanical surface treatment and generally used for improving fatigue resistance of materials, has a beneficial effect on the poor wear behavior of metal matrix composites. Obtaining results also indicate that the microhardness is improved greatly up to a certain depth by shot peening due to the higher dislocation density/microstrain which is evidenced with the X-ray diffraction tests.

The European Court of Human Rights and Internet-Related Cases
Authors: Wiśniewski Adam 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The Internet-related cases coming to the European Court of Human Rights provide a good illustration of the challenges posed to the protection of human rights as based on the European Convention of Human Rights drafted in 1950. Considering that the Convention is a 70-year-old instrument, the Strasbourg Court has to deal with these cases using the body of principles and interpretation methods and techniques that has been developed so far, and in particular the ‘living instrument’ doctrine. In this study I propose to explore some main threads in the Court’s jurisprudence on Internet-related cases, outlining the specific nature of Internet-related cases, discussing the problem of rights connected with the Internet as well as the impact of the Internet on such classical rights as freedom of expression and the right to privacy. I conclude that the Internet-related case law of the Convention is in a process of constant development. The Strasbourg Court has demonstrated that it is capable of dealing with Internet-related cases based on general Convention norms and using its well-developed interpretation techniques. The striking feature of Strasbourg’s case law is the ECtHR’s recognition of the considerable importance of the Internet as regards the exercise of freedom of expression, and in particular freedom to seek and access information. Although the ECtHR regards the Internet as a communication medium, however, it recognises its specific features which affect the performance of rights protected by the Convention as well as dangers it poses for the protection of human rights under the European Convention of Human Rights.
Special Legal Solutions Introduced in Regard to the Relationship with COVID-19 Affecting Municipal Budgets – Selected Issues
Authors: Glumińska-Pawlic Jadwiga , Gwóźdź Tomasz 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The article discusses the legal changes related to the finances of communes, introduced into the Polish legal order to counteract adverse social effects and the economic aspects of the SARSCoV–2 epidemic. It indicates the impact of new regulations on the website revenue for the budgets of municipalities and the powers of municipal authorities concerning, first and foremost, budget control and implementation. The solutions that were presented in detail have the goal of helping entrepreneurs most economically affected by the pandemic – such as the possibility of exemption from real estate tax by resolution of the commune council for part of 2020 and selected months of 2021, an extension of instalment payment deadlines for real estate tax, or the failure to collect the market fee in 2021. Essentially, only some of these solutions provide for financial compensation from the commune budgets. The consequences for the budgets of communes related to the changes indicated, in the context of the need to perform their tasks.
Agave rosalesii (sect. Inermes , Asparagaceae), segregated from Agave ellemeetiana K. Koch (sect. Choritepalae ): a new species from the Mixteca Alta of western Oaxaca, Mexico
Authors: Vázquez-García J. Antonio , Thiede Joachim , Etter Julia , Kristen Martin 
Published: April 2022

Background: Agave ellemeetiana ( A . sect. Choritepalae ) features soft and “spineless” leaves and occurs in two disjunct and ecologically differentiated populations classified as subspecies. An incidental look at the flowers of A . ellemeetiana ssp. subdentata unveiled that these did not match those of A . ellemeetiana s. str. nor those of sect. Choritepalae .
Questions: Do these disjunct populations differ in flower and fruit morphology? Do they belong to the same section within Agave ?
Hypotheses: The floral morphology of populations of Agave ellemeetiana ssp. subdentata from western Oaxaca places this species in A . sect. Inermes , and the set of qualitative and quantitative differences is sufficient to recognize it as a distinct species.
Studied species: Agave ellemeetiana , Agave pedunculifera .
Study site and dates: Putla District, western Oaxaca, December 2011 and April 2014.
Methods: We conducted an alpha-taxonomic study of the Agave ellemeetiana species complex, involving two fieldwork expeditions, review of literature, online images, and herbarium specimens.
Results: Differences in flower, fruit and vegetative morphology and habitat support the segregation of the populations (from the Putla District, Oaxaca) from the Agave ellemeetiana complex as a new species, A . rosalesii spec. nov. The presence of an evident corolla tube places the proposed taxon close to A . pedunculifera and within A . sect. Inermes .
Conclusions: The populations from the Putla District are sufficiently distinct in their morphology and ecology to merit recognition as a new species, Agave rosalesii , placed in A . sect. Inermes .

Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship between resilience and work engagement of employees at PT KIP. This research hypothesizes that there is a relationship between resilience and work engagement in PT KIP employees. The subjects of this research are 42 employees of PT KIP. The data collection method in this study used a questionnaire consisting of two scales, namely the resilience scale and the work engagement scale. The resilience scale consisting of 56 items was developed by Reivich & Statte (2002) and adapted by the authors, namely the Resilience Quotient (RQ) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) consisting of 17 items were developed by Schaufeli & Bakker (2004) and adapted by the authors. Analysis of research data to test the hypothesis using Pearson's product-moment correlation resulted in a significant correlation coefficient between resilience and work engagement for PT KIP employees, which was 0.668 (p≤0.05), a high and unidirectional category. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between resilience and work engagement for PT KIP employees.
