Auswirkungen der Grenzschließungen auf die systemrelevanten Arbeitskräfte und den grenzüberschreitenden Arbeitsmarkt in der Großregion während der Covid-19-Pandemie

Mit den Grenzschließungen im Frühjahr 2020 wurde es für Grenzgänger:innen – auch in der sogenannten „Großregion“/„Grande-Région“ – schwierig, ihren Arbeitsplatz zu erreichen. Vor allem systemrelevante Arbeitskräfte im Gesundheits-, Rettungs- und Industriesektor standen im Zentrum der Debatte um mangelnde Solidarität zwischen den verschiedenen Grenzregionen und Ländern. Dieser Artikel analysiert die Auswirkungen der Grenzschließungen auf verschiedene Aspekte der Solidarität in der Großregion, die Grenzregion mit der höchsten Zahl an Grenzgänger:innen in Europa. Die Solidarität als europäischer Wert wurde auf die Probe gestellt – sowohl zwischen den Ländern (z. B. durch den ‚Diebstahl‘ von wichtigen Arbeitskräften und nahezu unmöglich gemachter grenzüberschreitender Mobilität durch Grenzkontrollen) als auch zwischen unterschiedlichen Gruppen von Arbeitnehmer:innen, wie Telearbeiter:innen und Nicht-Telearbeiter:innen sowie zwischen Grenzpendler:innen und Nicht-Grenzpendler:innen, welche etwa durch Kurzarbeitsregelungen unterschiedlich behandelt wurden (z. B. im Gesundheitssektor).

Analysis, control, and engineering of spatiotemporal  pattern formation

A central problem in developmental biology is to understand how tissues are patterned in time and space - how do identical cells differentiate to form the adult body plan? Patterns often arise from prior asymmetries in developing embryos, but there is also increasing evidence for self-organizing mechanisms that can break the symmetry of an initially homogeneous cell population. These patterning processes are mediated by a small number of signaling molecules, including the TGF-β superfamily members BMP and Nodal. While we have begun to analyze how biophysical properties such as signal diffusion and stability contribute to axis formation and tissue allocation during vertebrate embryogenesis, three key questions remain. First, how does signaling cross-talk control robust patterning in developing tissues? Opposing sources of Nodal and BMP are sufficient to produce secondary zebrafish axes, but it is unclear how the signals interact to orchestrate this mysterious process. Second, how do signaling systems self-organize to pattern tissues in the absence of prior asymmetries? Recent evidence indicates that axis formation in mammalian embryos is independent of maternal and extra-embryonic tissues, but the mechanism underlying this self-organized patterning is unknown. Third, what are the minimal requirements to engineer synthetic self-organizing systems? Our theoretical analyses suggest that self-organizing reaction-diffusion systems are more common and robust than previously thought, but this has so far not been experimentally demonstrated. We will address these questions in zebrafish embryos, mouse embryonic stem cells, and bacterial colonies using a combination of quantitative imaging, optogenetics, mathematical modeling, and synthetic biology. In addition to providing insights into signaling and development, this high-risk/high-gain approach opens exciting new strategies for tissue engineering by providing asymmetric or temporally regulated signaling in organ precursors.
Predictable photonic interconnects using an autonomous channel management and a TDMA-NoC

Enhancing an electrical NoC with a reconfigurable nano-photonic interconnect architecture contributes to mitigate the bandwidth bottleneck typically found in modern systems. The management of such photonic channels, however, complicates the control of the network and deteriorates its predictability. For the autonomous management of the photonic links with full predictability, this work proposes a hybrid architecture, where several distributed hardware agents connected with a TDMA-based electrical NoC with a photonic layer. These agents provide a dynamic (at run-time) configuration infrastructure for the photonic switches; thanks to the bounded delay of the TDMA-NoC, the configuration overhead can be accurately predicted and the quality-of-service guaranteed. Furthermore, the architecture is highly scalable due to the predictable, autonomous, and decentralised administration of the links. This paper reports an architectural evaluation which combines a thorough analysis of the hardware cost at the gate level and a functional validation of the improved predictability; the results confirm the suitability of the approach.

Residential building energy renovations with on-bill financing

Ren-on-Bill’s overall objective is to scale up investments towards deep energy renovations (ER) of residential buildings by promoting the development and implementation of On-Bill Financing schemes, based on the cooperation between energy utilities and financial institutions.

On-Bill Financing (OBF) is a method of financing ER investments that draws on utility bills as repayment vehicle. OBF has been in use for more than 30 years, and it is especially widespread in the USA and Canada, where it significantly drives the building renovation market, with over 1 billion $ investments reached by 2013. Compared to traditional loans, default rates have been found to be lower, thus making OBF a lower risk instrument for investors. In Europe, although a few attempts have been made, OBF has not yet had a significant impact on the residential energy efficiency building renovation market.

In detail, the project will:

- Analyse and define the residential building ER and OBF market context to enable replication of suitable OBF schemes across Europe;

- Engage key stakeholders (in particular energy utilities, financial institutions, representatives of the final user and ER market side) through national stakeholder platforms;

- Develop tools to structure the residential sector’s ER financing demand allowing allows utilities and financial institutions to assess ER investments based on a transparent methodology and to bundle investments accordingly;

- Develop suitable utility business models for the deployment of deep energy renovation OBF schemes for residential buildings in Europe;

- Implement selected OBF business models at the 3 Ren-on-Bill partner utilities through a collaboration for strategic development of pilot on-bill financing schemes;

- Exploit the insights gained over the project horizon to support European-wide dissemination of knowledge on OBF schemes towards utilities, financial institutions and policy-makers.

CoRoT-7b: SUPER-EARTH OR SUPER-Io?

CoRoT-7 b, a planet about 70% larger than the Earth orbiting a Sun-like star, is the first-discovered rocky exoplanet, and hence has been dubbed a "super-Earth". Some initial studies suggested that since the planet is so close to its host star, it receives enough insolation to partially melt its surface. However, these past studies failed to take into consideration the role that tides may play in this system. Even if the planet's eccentricity has always been zero, we show that tidal decay of semi-major axis could have been large enough that the planet formed on a wider orbit which received less insolation. Moreover, CoRoT-7 b could be tidally heated at a rate that dominates its geophysics and drives extreme volcanism. In this case, CoRoT-7 b is a "super-Io" that, like Jupiter's volcanic moon, is dominated by volcanism and rapid resurfacing. Such heating could occur with an eccentricity of just 10^-5. This small value could be driven by CoRoT-7 c if its own eccentricity is larger than ~10^-4. CoRoT-7 b may be the first of a class of planetary super-Ios likely to be revealed by the CoRoT and Kepler spacecraft.
Monkeypox Virus Infection in Humans across 16 Countries — April–June 2022

Before April 2022, monkeypox virus infection in humans was seldom reported outside African regions where it is endemic. Currently, cases are occurring worldwide. Transmission, risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes of infection are poorly defined.We formed an international collaborative group of clinicians who contributed to an international case series to describe the presentation, clinical course, and outcomes of polymerase-chain-reaction-confirmed monkeypox virus infections.We report 528 infections diagnosed between April 27 and June 24, 2022, at 43 sites in 16 countries. Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men, 75% were White, and 41% had human immunodeficiency virus infection; the median age was 38 years. Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection. In this case series, 95% of the persons presented with a rash (with 64% having ≤10 lesions), 73% had anogenital lesions, and 41% had mucosal lesions (with 54 having a single genital lesion). Common systemic features preceding the rash included fever (62%), lethargy (41%), myalgia (31%), and headache (27%); lymphadenopathy was also common (reported in 56%). Concomitant sexually transmitted infections were reported in 109 of 377 persons (29%) who were tested. Among the 23 persons with a clear exposure history, the median incubation period was 7 days (range, 3 to 20). Monkeypox virus DNA was detected in 29 of the 32 persons in whom seminal fluid was analyzed. Antiviral treatment was given to 5% of the persons overall, and 70 (13%) were hospitalized; the reasons for hospitalization were pain management, mostly for severe anorectal pain (21 persons); soft-tissue superinfection (18); pharyngitis limiting oral intake (5); eye lesions (2); acute kidney injury (2); myocarditis (2); and infection-control purposes (13). No deaths were reported.In this case series, monkeypox manifested with a variety of dermatologic and systemic clinical findings. The simultaneous identification of cases outside areas where monkeypox has traditionally been endemic highlights the need for rapid identification and diagnosis of cases to contain further community spread.

Efficient storage of high throughput DNA sequencing data using reference-based compression

Data storage costs have become an appreciable proportion of total cost in the creation and analysis of DNA sequence data. Of particular concern is that the rate of increase in DNA sequencing is significantly outstripping the rate of increase in disk storage capacity. In this paper we present a new reference-based compression method that efficiently compresses DNA sequences for storage. Our approach works for resequencing experiments that target well-studied genomes. We align new sequences to a reference genome and then encode the differences between the new sequence and the reference genome for storage. Our compression method is most efficient when we allow controlled loss of data in the saving of quality information and unaligned sequences. With this new compression method we observe exponential efficiency gains as read lengths increase, and the magnitude of this efficiency gain can be controlled by changing the amount of quality information stored. Our compression method is tunable: The storage of quality scores and unaligned sequences may be adjusted for different experiments to conserve information or to minimize storage costs, and provides one opportunity to address the threat that increasing DNA sequence volumes will overcome our ability to store the sequences.
Synthesis, thermal decomposition and dielectric behavior of bis(thiourea)silver(I)nitrate

New semi-organic bis(thiourea)silver(I)nitrate (TuAgN) single crystals have been grown from slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that the crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with the non-centrosymmetric space group C2221 and the calculated cell parameters are a = 33.3455 (6) A, b = 45.2957 (7) A, c = 20.3209 (5) A, α = β = γ = 90°, and V = 30692.8 (10) A3. The thermal stability and decomposition behavior of TuAgN compound have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis at three different heating rates 5, 10, and 15 °C min−1. The effective activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (ln A) of thermal decomposition of thiourea from TuAgN compound at three different heating rates are estimated by model free methods: Arrhenius, Flynn–Wall, Kissinger, and Kim–Park. The calculated effective activation energies were found to vary with the fraction (α) reacted. The compensation effect between the (ln A) and (Ea) has also been studied. Dielectric properties of TuAgN crystal have been studied in a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. AC conductivity has also been carried out.

The role of degradation pathways on cell stemness and fate determination

The haematopoietic system relies on the potential of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to self-renew and differentiate into all lineages of mature blood cells, and is a reference model to study differentiation hierarchies. Cell fate determination results from different layers of regulation, including transcriptional, translational, epigenetic, metabolic, and cell biological changes. Degradation pathways, such as autophagy and the proteasome, play mechanistically relevant roles that in principle may impact on all these layers. Indeed, catabolic degradation results in the building blocks necessary for anabolic processes, while it also preserves stemness and regenerative potential. Asymmetric cell division (ACD) has been extensively reported to contribute to maintenance of stemness by the rise of daughters with divergent fates in stem cells, including HSCs. Taken together, I postulate that degradation pathways work synergistically to give rise to the asymmetric fates observed in HSCs differentiation and can be targeted for future therapeutic use in humans. I plan to test this by 1. establishing an efficient strategy to image asymmetric inheritance of cargo by long-term ex vivo HSCs expansion, 2. verifying whether autophagosomes and proteasomes are co-inherited in HSCs mitoses, and 3. assessing the impact of cargo segregation by ACD on HSC maintenance and differentiation. I will use state-of-the-art techniques and novel murine models to assess the molecular and cell biological mechanisms of ACD modulation on HSC maintenance, relying on imaging of known and potentially novel components that are asymmetrically inherited by HSCs and able to impact their fate determination. Finally, I will further evaluate the in vivo impact of cargo inheritance on haematopoiesis by using single-cell transplantation. The knowledge derived from this project will potentially boost the development of novel regenerative medicine therapeutic approaches.
Clinical report of serious complications associated with measles pneumonia in children hospitalized at Shengjing hospital, China

Despite tremendous progress made toward elimination, measles continues to pose a great threat to the health of children in developing countries. The objective of this study was to summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment experience of serious complications of measles pneumonia in children.The study group comprised 58 infants with severe measles pneumonia who were admitted to the Second Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, from December 2013 through May 2014. The clinical characteristics of complications such as hypoxemia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, pneumothorax, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and intracranial infection were retrospectively analyzed; in addition, the death cases were summarized and analyzed.The 58 infants experienced the following: hypoxemia, 100%; ARDS, 21%; sepsis, 34%; pneumothorax, 14%; MODS, 16%; and intracranial infection, 9%. A total of 7 infants developed a secondary bacterial infection, and 12 infants received mechanical ventilation (5 with high-frequency mechanical ventilation and 3 with mechanical ventilation and NO inhalation); the average duration of mechanical ventilation was 10.08 days, and 3 infants expired.Children with measles pneumonia may experience multiple serious complications, among which ARDS and pneumothorax are particularly serious. If a patient's condition changes abruptly, it is crucial to promptly respond to the change and to administer mechanical ventilation and appropriate antibiotics. For patients with a severe pneumothorax, and especially those with severe mediastinal emphysema, timely, continuous, retrosternal, closed thoracic drainage can effectively relieve compression.
