description: Although the Japanese chronic total occlusion (J-CTO) score is widely used to assess the complexity of revascularization for CTO lesions, ambiguous and conflicting results are reported in validation studies. Therefore, we aimed to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the J-CTO score and explore the heterogeneity of its comparison with other CTO scores. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were systematically searched from January 1st, 2011 to December 23rd, 2021. Studies that examined the accuracy of the J-CTO score were eligible. Where feasible, estimates of discrimination and calibration were pooled with a random-effects model. The Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST) was used for risk-of-bias assessment. This study was reported according to PRISMA guidelines and prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019126161). Of 28 included studies (N = 34,944 lesions), 24 were eligible for meta-analysis. The J-CTO score demonstrated significant discrimination for 30-min wire crossing (summary C-statistic 0.76; 95% CI 0.68–0.84) and technical success (0.68; 95% CI 0.61–0.74) despite significant heterogeneity. Only 19 (33%) of the 58 pairwise comparisons with 14 competing scores that were based on discrimination reported a statistical result. The J-CTO score performed worse (relative difference of C-statistics >5%) in eight out of 33 independent comparisons but better in another 13. Methodological shortcomings resulted from only one study evaluating model calibration appropriately. The discrimination power of the J-CTO score was useful for time-efficient wire crossing and moderate for angiographic success. Head-to-head comparisons of CTO scores would benefit from standardized reporting and appropriate statistical methods.Key messagesThe J-CTO score has useful discrimination in predicting 30-min wire crossing while performing moderately for technical success.After excluding optimism bias, there is insufficient independent evidence supporting the superiority of newly introduced models over the J-CTO score.Standardized methodology and assessment are needed to achieve a better understanding of CTO scores, especially for their calibration.

description: Moving from France to the Caribbean to the American continent, Creole Drama follows the people that created, shaped, and sustained French theatre culture in New Orleans from its inception in 1792 until the beginning of the Civil War. In doing so, it draws upon the neglected archive of francophone drama native to Louisiana, as well as a range of documents from both sides of the Atlantic, teasing out how the members of Louisiana's French-speaking community intervened in current debates about political representation, slavery, US expansion, and the place of ethnic and racial minorities in the early Americas. Creole Drama offers not only a detailed history of francophone theatre in New Orleans, but also an account of the surprising ways in which multilingualism and early transnational networks helped create the American nation.

description: On 12 July 1776, Captain James Cook and his crew left England in search of the famed Northwest Passage. Spanish, French, and Russian explorers before him had set out to find this Arctic waterway, which was thought to link the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans and promised to open up a new, more direct trading route with Asia. After seven months of sailing up and down the North American Pacific Coast, however, Cook was forced to conclude that such a passage did not exist. His voyage nonetheless transformed the trade relations between Europe, the USA and Asia. By detailing the rich natural resources the crew encountered in the North Pacific, the published records of Cook’s last voyage alerted a vast reading public, both in Europe and the young USA, to the commercial opportunities emerging from the exploitation of these resources. Using the example of the sea otter, this article explores how new knowledge about the natural world in the Pacific and its dissemination through print culture not only sparked intense rivalries between European colonial powers, but also helped the newly independent USA establish itself as a transoceanic empire.

description: A multivariate time-series regression model was developed in order to describe the 2005-2008 age-specific time-course of varicella sentinel surveillance data following the introduction of a varicella childhood vaccination programme in Germany. This ecological approach allows the assessment of vaccine effectiveness under field conditions by relating vaccine coverage in cohorts of 24-month-old children to the mean number of cases per reporting unit in the sentinel network. For the 1-2 years age group, which is directly affected by the vaccination programme, a one-dose vaccine effectiveness of 83·2% (95% CI 80·2-85·7) was estimated which corresponds to previous approaches assessing varicella vaccine effectiveness in the field in the USA.

description: This research explores how UK construction companies in the SME sector implementsustainability practices into their supply chain management. The objectives of the research are toconduct comprehensive literature review on supply chain management, sustainability,sustainable supply chain management, implementation processes, theories and concept of SMEs;to investigate the key drivers to implement sustainable supply chain management successfully inUK SMEs in the construction industry; to examine the implementation process of sustainablesupply chain management in UK SMEs in the construction industry; to understand the barriersthat UK SMEs in the construction industry face during the implementation of sustainable supplychain management and to make recommendations that can be utilised by UK SMEs in theconstruction industry to implement sustainable supply chain management successfully.A literature review was conducted from a broader topic as supply chain and narrowed it down forsustainable supply chain management implementation with the aim of providing anunderstanding for the readers about the importance of interlinked fields. The literature review ofexisting literature addressing sustainable supply chain management implementation was carriedout in order to identify the gaps in the literature such as drivers to implement sustainable supplychain management, implementation process of sustainable supply chain management andbarriers to implement sustainable supply chain management. In order to fill these identifiedresearch gaps, a qualitative research methodology was adopted. The data was collect throughsemi-structured, multi-respondent and in-depth interviews in five case studies of SMEs in theconstruction industry. The data was analysed thematically by using the NVIVO qualitative dataanalysis software.The findings indicate that SMEs develop the motivation to implement sustainable supply chainmanagement mainly as a result of top management commitment. The identified implementationprocess has seven steps and demonstrates the resources that can be used in each step in order toachieve success in the implementation. Furthermore, the research identified the barriers toimplement sustainable supply chain management in SMEs that lead the companies to findsolution and succeed in the implementation.The thesis provides literature to fill in the identified gaps and a conceptual model that can beused by the academics as its theoretical contribution. The practical contribution of the thesis is aSSCM implementation process and practical guidance to overcome from the potential barriers toimplement SSCM successfully by using identified resources.
The Drama of History in Francophone New Orleans

description: On January 1, 1824, the English-speaking population of New Orleans celebrated the grand opening of the American Theatre, lauding the advent of “Bards our own” and the rise of “our Drama” in the Crescent City (qtd. in Smither 41). For the city’s francophone residents, this event marked a new stage in the ongoing battle for cultural survival. Until the opening of the American Theatre, French drama and opera had dominated the city. Beginning in 1792, when Louisiana was still under Spanish rule, French theatricals were regularly performed at the Théâtre de la Rue St. Pierre, the Théâtre St. Philippe, and the Théâtre d’Orléans. After the Louisiana Purchase, more and more Anglo-Americans settled permanently in New Orleans and began to compete with the city’s established French-speaking population for political, economic, and cultural sway. The growing influence of the anglophone newcomers alarmed the francophone residents, who feared for the continued existence of their community. Over time, the tensions between the two populations turned into open hostility and came, according to historian Joseph Tregle, “perilously close to armed violence” (153). In 1836, the city of New Orleans was formally divided along ethnic lines to prevent such an escalation. This article examines how the anglophone and francophone struggles for political influence and cultural sovereignty in New Orleans were transported into the local playhouses.

description: This essay recovers, describes, and analyzes the theatrical tradition emerging from New Orleans's free people of color during the antebellum period. I will start out by tracing the presence of free people of color in the francophone theatres of New Orleans, teasing out their impact on the early formations of a francophone theatrical culture in the Crescent City. Next, I will examine more closely the 1837 breaking point in theatrical race relations and the ensuing foundation of two theatres by and for free people of color, the Théâtre Marigny and the Théâtre de la Renaissance. Considering the material conditions of the two theatres – including their location and interior layout – as well as their admittance policies, troupes, and repertoire, I assess the function of these playhouses for a population that was bound to remain in a position of liminality throughout the antebellum period. Through an analysis of four of the plays performed at the free black theatres I uncover the relevance of a seemingly outdated and imported repertoire for the day-to-day experiences of New Orleans's free black population. Ultimately, I argue that New Orleans's free people of color developed a distinct theatrical tradition that reflected as well as complicated the specific contours of their liminal position within the city.

description: Seit Mitte 2003 hat sich von Südostasien aus die aviäre Influenza (H5N1) bis Europa und Afrika in Wildvögeln und Hausgeflügel ausgebreitet. In der Folge ist es zu schweren wirtschaftlichen Verlusten gekommen. So sind im Jahr 2004 ca. zwölf Prozent des Hausgeflügels in Vietnam an den Folgen der Infektion verendet oder wurden gekeult, um eine weitere Ausbreitung zu verhindern. In vereinzelten Fällen ist es auch zur humanen Infektionen mit dem Virus gekommen; in den meisten Fällen in Zusammenhang mit engem Kontakt zu infizierten Tieren. Es gibt jedoch auch ein Cluster von Erkrankungen, das eine Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung möglich erscheinen lässt. Bisher gibt es 251 von der WHO bestätigte humane Infektionen, davon 148 mit tödlichem Verlauf (Stand vom 28. September 2006). Diese humanen Fälle werfen die Frage auf, ob das zurzeit kursierende H5N1-Virus das Potenzial hat, eine neue Grippe- Pandemie auszulösen und ob diese Pandemie so verheerend wie die Spanische Grippe von 1918 sein würde. Um uns auf die Möglichkeit einer neuen Pandemie vorzubereiten, ist es wichtig, dass wir verstehen, wie das Virus weitergegeben wird und wie es sich auf seinem Weg verändert.

description: Fabrication of nanoscale highly periodic structures is a vital capability for research on quasicrystals, directional and specular selective emitters, and plasmonics. Laser interference lithography is a maskless lithography process capable of producing patterns with high periodicity over large areas, and is compatible with standard optical lithography processing. In this work, a Lloyd's mirror lithographic interferometer is simulated, built, and tested. Featuring a HeCd CW laser at 325 nm, spatial lter, and vacuum stage, it is capable of generating patterns with a sub-100 nanometer half pitch, over a large area (approximately 8 cm2), with minimal distortion, in a single exposure; with 2D patterns possible using multiple exposures. The interferometer features a compact sliding enclosure, simple alignment and operation, and quick adjustments to the desired period. One-dimensional and two-dimensional patterns were generated and matched well with simulation.

description: A meta-analysis of eligible studies was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of bone substitute materials (BSMs) in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) for knee osteoarthritis. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A comprehensive literature search was performed, and studies comparing BSM with bone graft (BG) and without bone graft (WG) were included. The Cochrane risk of bias tool (version 1.0) and Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool were used to assess the risk of bias for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized studies (NRSs), respectively. The outcomes measured were the osteotomy gap size, the occurrence rates of non-union and lateral hinge fractures, knee functional score, infection and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The quality of evidences was evaluated by Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group system. Five RCTs and eight NRS including 769 participants were included in our meta-analysis. The BSM group had a larger osteotomy gap size than the control group (MD: 0.41 mm, 95% confidence interval (CI): [0.06, 0.76], p=.02, I2=0%), with a significant difference. No significant difference was found between BSM and control group in main analysis in terms of bone non-union, but with a higher non-union rate when BSM combined with long locking plate was used. No significant differences were found in other outcome measures except for VAS from NRS subgroup. The quality of evidence for outcomes was low. BSM combined with locking plate techniques offers a safe and efficient alternative option in OWHTO for osteotomy gap larger than 10 mm, but be aware of the possibility of bone non-union. Given the inherent heterogeneity and low quality of the included studies, future well-designed RCTs are essential to verify the findings.KEY MESSAGEThe treatment of the osteotomy gap is still controversial.BSM combined with a locking plate offers a safe and efficient alternative option for OWHTO with an over 10 mm of osteotomy gap over 10 mm.Due to the inherent heterogeneity and low quality of the included studies, the results should be cautiously interpreted in clinical practice.

description: Background: Bats receive increasing attention in infectious disease studies, because of their well recognized status as reservoir species for various infectious agents. This is even more important, as bats with their capability of long distance dispersal and complex social structures are unique in the way microbes could be spread by these mammalian species. Nevertheless, infection studies in bats are predominantly limited to the identification of specific pathogens presenting a potential health threat to humans. But the impact of infectious agents on the individual host and their importance on bat mortality is largely unknown and has been neglected in most studies published to date. Methodology/Principal Findings: Between 2002 and 2009, 486 deceased bats of 19 European species (family Vespertilionidae) were collected in different geographic regions in Germany. Most animals represented individual cases that have been incidentally found close to roosting sites or near human habitation in urban and urban-like environments. The bat carcasses were subjected to a post-mortem examination and investigated histo-pathologically, bacteriologically and virologically. Trauma and disease represented the most important causes of death in these bats. Comparative analysis of pathological findings and microbiological results show that microbial agents indeed have an impact on bats succumbing to infectious diseases, with fatal bacterial, viral and parasitic infections found in at least 12% of the bats investigated. Conclusions/Significance: Our data demonstrate the importance of diseases and infectious agents as cause of death in European bat species. The clear seasonal and individual variations in disease prevalence and infection rates indicate that maternity colonies are more susceptible to infectious agents, underlining the possible important role of host physiology, immunity and roosting behavior as risk factors for infection of bats.
"Parents of the mind": Mary Wollstonecraft and the Aesthetics of Productive Masculinity

Subjects: subject: Romanticism

description: Although Mary Wollstonecraft's analysis of masculine sexuality and sensibility in the Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1791) and The Wrongs of Woman, or Maria (1797) mostly concerns the ways in which the oppression of women results in the unnatural encouragement and consequent perversion of male sexual desire, I believe that these two texts also offer a subtle consideration of a positive form of masculine sexuality, one which is vital to her egalitarian sexual politics. Specifically, many moments in the Vindication gesture towards a socially oriented and benevolent type of masculine sensibility that concerns itself with aesthetic production rather than with heterosexual reproduction. Wollstonecraft embodies this type of socially useful masculine sensibility in the character of Maria's uncle in Maria. Although the novel ostensibly rep resents this character as heterosexual, Maria's uncle exhibits gender and sexual behaviors that differ both from those associated with eighteenth century concepts of masculine sentimentality as well as male reproductive sexuality. These behaviors are positively valued in the novel because they al low for the sublimation of reproductive energies into a didactically useful form of masculine sensibility. Furthermore, Maria characterizes her uncle's benevolent, non-reproductive masculinity as absolutely essential to the maintenance of society, insofar as he becomes the example par excellence of a socially useful sensibility that allows sympathy to be directed outward, unselfishly, towards others, as well as producing a new concept of marriage, one liable to divorce. Such a reading of the Vindication and Maria allows one to recognize in Wollstonecraft's project a theory of the political importance of non-reproductive sexual identities within an egalitarian society and also, I believe, provides the starting point for an analysis of a particular genealogical branch in the history of sexuality in the figure of the "benevolent uncle."

Unsettling the Normative: Articulations of Masculinity in Victorian Literature and Culture
Creators: name: Friedman, Dustin
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: English literature
subject: Nineteenth century
subject: Masculinity

description: This article provides an overview of the academic study of Victorian masculinity. It argues that the pioneering work of feminist and sexuality studies scholars in Victorian studies during the 1970s and 1980s made it possible to discuss manhood critically as a historical and cultural phenomenon. It then presents a reading of major works on Victorian masculinity from the 1990s, organized around two major themes: studies that brought to light and analyzed a suppressed history of masculinities that departed from cultural norms (especially homosexual masculinity), and studies devoted to the reassessment of mainstream Victorian manhood. It concludes by looking at a selection of work from the past decade in order to outline recent developments in the field. These studies, which have been able to take for granted that manhood is a valid and coherent subject of inquiry, have been able to integrate the study of masculinity into a variety of Victorian topics, even though there are now fewer works devoted exclusively to masculinity.

description: Poster about the Helmholtz knowledge graph and the unified Helmholtz information and data exchange (unHIDE) initiative.Helmholtz (meta)data is siloed in data infrastructures located in the respective Helmholtz centres. UnHIDE connects this data to the Helmholtz Knowledge Graph . The used technology is co-developed with external stakeholders. Data in the graph is provided for re-use for humans (UI, API) and machines (API, SPARQL). The graph improves visibility for researchers and centers, provides a single point of access to information in the Helmholtz association and allows queries and re-use of data across infrastructures, centers and research fields. With the Helmholtz Knowledge graph unHIDE reveals the current state of (meta)data across Helmholtz data holdings. Data connectivity and connection quality is low. Structured areas of the graph do not reflect Helmholtz entities (centers, repositories or infrastructures). We improve Helmholtz metadata records by uplifting provided documents and feed uplifted data back to the data source. For well known entities (i.e. Helmholtz research centers) we harmonize records through SPARQL updates. We resolve entities by assigning types and ids. Where possible, we infer entity types and ids through the assembled data.

Weird Sex: Teleny and the History of Sexuality
Creators: name: Friedman, Dustin
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: English literature
subject: Nineteenth century
subject: Sex

description: In this article, I argue that that a close examination of the most sexually explicit scenes in the anonymous gay pornographic novel Teleny (1893) reveals that they do not anticipate the bourgeois, individualistic liberal gay subject described by Michel Foucault, but are instead more closely related to the cosmic horrors found in the genre of weird fiction. The novel represents all sexual acts as ‘passions full of rage and hatred’ that are inscribed in a discourse that forecloses the possibility of sexual liberation through the rights-based logic of liberalism. Its very raison d’être as an explicitly pornographic text is to inscribe, in vividly grotesque terms, the destructive logic of sexuality itself, forcing readers to think beyond the binaries of man/woman, gay/straight that were hallmarks of Victorian social and scientific discourse. That a novel demonstrates this level of awareness at the supposed inaugural moment of modern homosexual identity should give historians of sexuality pause. Teleny invites us reimagine the history of sexuality not as a teleological movement away from the repressive hypothesis, but instead as a constantly reiterating investigation of desire’s inherent capacity for destruction.
Development of a Reflexive Modernization Theoretical Perspective to Predict Indiana Residents’ Perceptions of Emergent Science and Technology
Creators: name: Knies, Kami J.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Other agricultural, veterinary and food sciences not elsewhere classified

description: The current research uses mail survey methodology to measure Indiana residents’ perceived optimism that emergent science and technologies will be beneficial to them and their families. A structured questionnaire was developed specifically for use in this study. After field-testing, the questionnaire was mailed to 4,500 Indiana households through a stratified random sampling design. Up to three contacts were made with subjects, resulting in receipt of usable responses from 1,003 households, or a 26% response rate.

description: Mit Suspensions- und Keimträger versuchen wurde die sporizide Wirkung von unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen wässriger und alkoholischer Peressigsäure- (PES-)Lösungen auf Milzbrandsporen untersucht. Während in Suspensionsversuchen alle Sporen mit einer 1%igen PES-Lösung schon in weniger als 2 Minuten und mit einer 0,5%igen PES-Lösung in weniger als 3 Minuten abgetötet werden konnten, überlebten die Sporen im Keimträger versuch – einer Prüfung unter praxisnahen Bedingungen – bei 38% der Keimträger eine Behandlung mit einer 1%igen wässrigen PES-Lösung für 15 Minuten. Die PES in 80%iger ethanolischer Lösung war sowohl im Suspensions- als auch im Keimträger versuch der wässrigen Lösung hinsichtlich ihrer sporiziden Wirkung deutlich überlegen. Eine 30-minütige Behandlung mit einer 1%igen wässrigen PES-Lösung überlebten Milzbrandsporen auf 14% der Keimträger. Im Gegensatz dazu konnten mit einer 30-minütigen Einwirkzeit einer 1%igen alkoholischen PES-Lösung Milzbrandsporen unter den Bedingungen dieses praxisnahen Prüfverfahrens sicher abgetötet werden. Die nachgewiesene Verbesserung der sporiziden Wirkung der PES in alkoholischer Lösung sollte in der Desinfektionspraxis Berücksichtigung finden. In weiteren Untersuchungen gilt es, die Anwendungsbedingungen zu optimieren.
description: We analysed the sporicidal effect of different concentrations of aqueous and alcoholic peracetic acid (PAA) solutions on anthrax spores in suspension and germ carrier tests. In activation of anthrax spores in suspension assays was achieved in less than 2 min using 1% PAA solution and in less than 3 min using 0.5% PAA solution, respectively. In contrast, in germ carrier as says, a test under practical conditions, spores on 38% of the germ carriers survived treatment with 1% PAA solution for 15 min. The use of PAA in 80% ethyl alcohol outclassed the sporicidal effect of aqueous PAA solutions in both suspension and germ carrier assays. Anthrax spores on 14% of germ carriers tested survived 30 min of treatment with a 1% aqueous PAA solution. In contrast anthrax spores were reliably inactivated under the same test procedure using a 1% alcoholic PAA solution for 30 min. The proven enhancement of the sporicidal effect of alcoholic PAA solutions should be kept in mind when using disinfectants in practice. In further surveys we will optimise the test conditions.

description: An outbreak of salmonellosis in the summer of 2010 after a wedding party in Bavaria, Germany, was investigated, to identify vehicles and source of the outbreak and any flaws in food safety procedures. A cohort study targeting all wedding participants was carried out in addition to laboratory and environmental investigations. The overall attack rate was 59% (52/88). A group of buffet dishes containing mayonnaise was associated with the highest relative risk: 6.6 (95% CI: 1.7–25.0). Subtyping of a subset of Salmonella isolates cultured from stool samples from wedding participants and catering staff and from food samples showed the isolates to be indistinguishable (S. Enteritidis, lysotype 4/6, ribotype 3). European laws require food business operators to establish and implement food safety procedures. Investigation of the practices of the catering company revealed a lack of staff training and the absence of records of a food safety concept. Nonedible flower decorations in cold dishes were identified as a potential source of secondary contamination because their cultivation and processing are not subject to the food safety regulations minimising the risk of contamination of crops intended for human consumption. The outbreak demonstrated the importance of staff training and food safety concepts to identify and mitigate hazards to food safety.
Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) in the Language Classroom
Creators: name: Ferry, Megan M.
Publisher: name: Routledge
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Language and languages--Study and teaching

description: This chapter examines the high-impact experiences of project-based language learning (PBLL) as a curricular framework for deep learning about human and ecological sustainability. As a form of content-based instruction, it not only opens students to a broader way of thinking about and valuing the power of language and culture to inform, but also offers the opportunity to change perspectives and behaviors thus facilitating student intellectual and emotional growth. This chapter includes a brief overview of a 3rd-year college-level PBLL Chinese language course on climate action, which addresses the multilingual and multicultural dimensions of climate change. This approach teaches students that other cultures see their relationship to nature and the environment differently, and the language they use to speak about these relationships has the potential to open a multitude of perspectives for seeking solutions to our current climate and humanitarian crises.

description: Die Influenzaaktivität im Winter 2000/2001 wird anhand der Beobachtungen der AGI und der Nationalen Referenzzentren bewertet. Insgesamt war die Influenzawelle sehr kompakt mit starkem Anstieg der Morbidität, spitzem Gipfel und raschem Rückgang der Erkrankungen. Es waren fast gleichzeitig alle Regionen erfasst, und der auslösende Subtyp A/H1N1 entsprach der erwarteten Variante. Das Erkrankungsgeschehen war stark auf die jüngeren Altersgruppen konzentriert. Zum Gipfel der Welle wurden bei Kindern und Jugendlichen ungewöhnlich hohe Erkrankungszahlen erreicht, die meist leicht und unkompliziert verliefen. Höhere Altersgruppen waren weniger betroffen, und die über 60-Jährigen wurden kaum von der Erkrankungswelle erfasst. Die Influenzaaktivität schien im Osten etwas höher als im Westen.
description: The assessment of the influenza activity during the season 2000/2001 is based on the observation of the working group on influenza (AGI) and the results of the National Reference Centers for Influenza in Berlin and Hannover. After a first moderate increase of the influenza activity at the end of December the activity peaked in Febuary (calendar week 04 to 06). The morbidity wave was rather condensed with a steep increase and decline and occurred simultaneously in most regions. The predominant virus subtype was A/H1N1 (New Caledonia/20/99 like) with 95.2% of all isolates. Morbidity concentrated on the younger age groups and morbidity rates were unusually high among school children. Symptoms were rather mild and complications rare. The older age groups were far less affected and persons over 60 years old were hardly involved. A somewhat higher influenza activity was observed in the eastern parts of Germany compared to the western parts.
