Non-suicidal self-injury in young adults with and without borderline personality disorder: the role of emotion dysregulation and negative urgency
Authors: Schmidt Carlos , Briones-Buixassa Laia , Nicolaou Stella , Soler Joaquim , Pascual Juan C. , Vega Daniel
Published: August 2023

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is defined as self-inflicted pain, and it is used as a mechanism to alleviate psychological distress. Although NSSI is prevalent in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), it is also an increasing concern among college student populations. While emotion dysregulation and negative urgency are associated with NSSI, little is known about which dimensions specifically predict the motivations (NSSI-functions) and frequency of self-harm. The current study explored the relationship between emotion dysregulation, negative urgency, and NSSI in 86 young adults, divided into three groups: college students with NSSI, BPD patients with NSSI, and a healthy control group without NSSI. We conducted multiple regression analyses to predicted NSSI-functions and NSSI-frequency. Non-acceptance of emotions, a specific dimension of emotion dysregulation, uniquely predicted intrapersonal NSSI-functions (e.g., regulating distressing emotions), but not interpersonal NSSI-functions (e.g., communicating distress). Lastly, poor emotion regulation strategies predicted NSSI-frequency only in individuals with high negative urgency, that is, individuals who tend to act impulsively when experiencing negative emotions, but not in those with low negative urgency. Findings shed light on the underlying motivations for engaging in self-injury, and they reveal facets of emotion dysregulation relevant for NSSI treatment.

La Autolesión No Suicida (ANS) se define como un dolor auto-infligido que se utiliza como un mecanismo para aliviar la angustia psicológica. Aunque ANS es común en el trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP), también es un problema creciente en estudiantes universitarios. Si bien la desregulación emocional y la urgencia negativa están asociadas con ANS, poco se sabe sobre las dimensiones específicas que predicen la motivación (funciones) y la frecuencia de las autolesiones. Se exploró la relación entre la desregulación emocional, la urgencia negativa, y ANS en 86 adultos jóvenes, divididos en tres grupos: estudiantes universitarios con ANS, pacientes TLP con ANS y un grupo de control sano sin ANS. Realizamos análisis de regresión múltiple para predecir las funciones y frecuencia de ANS. La no aceptación de las emociones, una dimensión especifica de la desregulación emocional, predijo de manera única las funciones intrapersonales de ANS, pero no las funciones interpersonales. Por último, la falta de estrategias de regulación emocional predijo la frecuencia de ANS solo en individuos con una alta urgencia negativa, es decir, individuos que tienden a actuar impulsivamente cuando experimentan emociones negativas, pero no en aquellos con una baja urgencia negativa. Los hallazgos resaltan las motivaciones subyacentes a la autolesión y revelan facetas de la desregulación emocional relevantes para el tratamiento de ANS.

The U.S. science and research ecosystem retains its leadership by actively engaging with the global community through the conduct of mutually beneficial collaborative research and the welcoming of international scientists. Coupled with that, the national and economic security of the United States depends on effective risk management practices for organizations that engage in international collaborative research to protect against undue foreign influence and interference. The National Institute of Standards of Technology (NIST) Safeguarding Science Research Security Framework (“Framework”) establishes guidance to assist the U.S. science and research community [e.g., U.S. Government (USG), academia, and industry] across the broad spectrum of international science and technology activities as well as Federal funding initiatives. This Framework is designed to enable organizations to implement a mission-focused, integrated, risk-balanced program through the
application of research security principles and best practices that fosters the safeguarding of international science while mitigating risks to the integrity of the open collaborative environment. This Framework is a living document and will continue to be updated and improved as its users provide feedback on implementation of review procedures or to address new or emerging risks. This will ensure it is meeting the needs of Research Security practitioners in a dynamic and challenging environment of new threats, risks, and creative solutions.

In a context of a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there is a need to disinfect busy areas such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories, public transport, etc. using techniques that pose a risk to health. In turn, the robotics industry is at a critical moment with great developments and applications in numerous applications. Therefore, the figure of robots is of great interest as they have the ability to perform these tasks autonomously. However, there are great challenges in current robotics that must be resolved in order to perform tasks correctly. This is the specific case of door opening. Something necessary since to achieve a complete disinfection the robot must go through all the rooms of the installation.
In this work, a solution to the problem of opening doors is presented by means of a mobile robot to which artificial perception techniques are applied for detection, handling and autonomous navigation.

A NaI (TI) indicator was used to quantify the activity concentrations level of Uranium (U-238), Thorium (Th-232) & Potassium (K-40) in forty (40) groundwater samples collected across the premises of Kwara state polytechnic and its environs in order to determine the health hazard due intake of drinking water which has its origin from the subsurface. This investigation became necessary as a result of an outbreak of water borne diseases reported by the medical personnels in the clinics around the area. The results obtained from this measurement shows a range of values from 1.01 ± 0.02 to 8.21 ± 1.73, a mean of 3.88 ± 0.609 Bq.l−1 for U-238, 0.97 ± 0.01 to 14.81 ± 2.79, a mean value of 7.02 ± 0.99 Bq.l−1 Th-232 & 4.44 ± 0.12 to 147.33 ± 6.59 Bq.l−1, a mean of 48.08 ± 2.513 Bq.l−1 for K-40. The mean of these Radionuclides (U-238, Th-232 and K-40) are higher than the Universal value 10 Bq.l−1 for K-40 and 1 Bq.l−1 for U-238 and Th-232 as the permissible level for drinking water (United Nations Scientific Committee on Effects of Atomic radiation recommended (UNSCEAR)). In addition, most of the average values of the calculated radiological indices are within the recommended allowable tolerable boundary, although higher values were obtained in some within the study area. These results shows that U-238, Th-232 and K-40 concentrations and radiological parameters in the samples are high and low in values but might take a Probabilistic effect on the residents in the near future
The Paleo-Lupar: Bathymetric and seismic evidence for a submerged Late Pleistocene river valley on the Sunda Shelf, off Sarawak
Authors:   Malaysian Continental Shelf Project, National Security Council, Level G Perdana Putra, 62502 Putrajaya, Malaysia, Madon Mazlan
Published: August 2023

This article presents bathymetric and seismic evidence of a submerged Late Pleistocene river valley on the Sunda Shelf, off Sarawak. The submarine feature identified as the Paleo-Lupar is detectable in digital elevation models (DEM) at water depths of about 40 m near the Lupar river mouth to more than 100 m to the north nearer the shelf edge. Bathymetric profiles revealed an ~30 km-wide submarine valley, with individual channels that, in places, can be more than 80 m deeper than the surrounding seabed. The Paleo-Lupar is one of several major paleo-rivers that drained the Sunda Shelf when sea level was lowest during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) around 21 ka BP and were subsequently submerged due to the sea level rise that has since occurred.
Indicators as a Tool for Assessing the Level of Sustainable Urban Freight Logistics
Authors: Bartuška Ladislav , Hanzl Jiří , Kampf Rudolf , Brlek Predrag
Published: August 2023

Urban transport system planning has been moving towards sustainability in recent years, and the concept of urban freight logistics is an integral part of this planning. Urban freight logistics involves many stakeholders that participate in its operation and should be considered in the system planning process. The paper presents one of the approaches to the methodology for the selection of key indicators suitable for the evaluation and monitoring of a sustainable system of urban freight logistics in such a way that it reflects as much as possible the needs of all involved stakeholders. This is done by applying the selected method of multi-criteria analysis with the involvement of various urban freight logistics stakeholders. Based on the proposed methodology, the paper defines significant indicators that can be considered for further evaluation of the level of a sustainable urban freight logistics system. In addition to the possibilities of further development of this methodology, the application of determined significant indicators for calculating the proposed index of sustainable urban freight logistics is discussed. The proposed procedure can be implemented in the preparatory steps in the framework of the creation of sustainable urban logistics plans (SULPs).
Transportation Research Challenges Based on the Analysis of EU Projects
Authors: Esztergár-Kiss Domokos
Published: August 2023

In recent years several projects have been realised in the field of transportation, but there is a lack of systematic analysis of research challenges connected to these projects. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to provide an overview of these challenges through EU funded projects in the field of smart, green and integrated transport. Based on EU strategic documents, reports and roadmaps, 10 topics are identified playing a crucial role in transportation-related research. A systematic analysis of the projects is realised, where the projects collected from an online database in the Horizon 2020 framework programme from 2015 to 2020 are categorised into these topics. The results show that travel behaviour, big data and open data, sustainable mobility planning and smart solutions are covered by several projects which reflect the main research trends. While active and shared modes, multimodal transportation, trip optimisation and Mobility as a Service are also popular topics. Based on the results, the most underrepresented research areas are artificial intelligence and social networks. The analysis of the connections between the research topics could enable the achievement of a long-term paradigm shift in urban mobility, which is beneficial for researchers, professionals and policy makers.

Despite efforts from scientists and regulators, biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate. Unless we find transformative solutions to preserve biodiversity, future generations may not be able to enjoy nature’s services.We have developed a conceptual framework that establishes the links between biodiversity dynamics and abiotic change through time and space using artificial intelligence. Here, we apply this framework to a freshwater ecosystem with a known history of human impact and study 100 years of community-level biodiversity, climate change and chemical pollution trends. We apply explainable network models with multimodal learning to community-level functional biodiversity measured with multilocus metabarcoding, to establish correlations with biocides and climate change records. We observed that the freshwater community assemblage and functionality changed over time without returning to its original state, even if the lake partially recovered in recent times. Insecticides and fungicides, combined with extreme temperature events and precipitation, explained up to 90% of the functional biodiversity changes. The community-level biodiversity approach used here reliably explained freshwater ecosystem shifts. These shifts were not observed when using traditional quality indices (e.g. Trophic Diatom Index).Our study advocates the use of high throughput systemic approaches on long-term trends over species-focused ecological surveys to identify the environmental factors that cause loss of biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions.
Higher social tolerance is associated with more complex facial behavior in macaques
Authors: Rincon Alan V. , Waller Bridget M. , Duboscq Julie , Mielke Alexander , Pérez Claire , Clark Peter R. , Micheletta Jérôme
Published: August 2023

The social complexity hypothesis for communicative complexity posits that animal societies with more complex social systems require more complex communication systems. We tested the social complexity hypothesis on three macaque species that vary in their degree of social tolerance and complexity. We coded facial behavior in >3000 social interactions across three social contexts (aggressive, submissive, affiliative) in 389 animals, using the Facial Action Coding System for macaques (MaqFACS). We quantified communicative complexity using three measures of uncertainty: entropy, specificity, and prediction error. We found that the relative entropy of facial behavior was higher for the more tolerant crested macaques as compared to the less tolerant Barbary and rhesus macaques across all social contexts, indicating that crested macaques more frequently use a higher diversity of facial behavior. The context specificity of facial behavior was higher in rhesus as compared to Barbary and crested macaques, demonstrating that Barbary and crested macaques used facial behavior more flexibly across different social contexts. Finally, a random forest classifier predicted social context from facial behavior with highest accuracy for rhesus and lowest for crested, indicating there is higher uncertainty and complexity in the facial behavior of crested macaques. Overall, our results support the social complexity hypothesis.
Genetically defined nucleus incertus neurons differ in connectivity and function

Published: August 2023

The nucleus incertus (NI), a conserved hindbrain structure implicated in the stress response, arousal, and memory, is a major site for production of the neuropeptide relaxin-3. On the basis of
goosecoid homeobox 2
(
gsc2
) expression, we identified a neuronal cluster that lies adjacent to
relaxin 3a
(
rln3a
) neurons in the zebrafish analogue of the NI. To delineate the characteristics of the
gsc2
and
rln3a
NI neurons, we used CRISPR/Cas9 targeted integration to drive gene expression specifically in each neuronal group, and found that they differ in their efferent and afferent connectivity, spontaneous activity, and functional properties.
gsc2
and
rln3a
NI neurons have widely divergent projection patterns and innervate distinct subregions of the midbrain interpeduncular nucleus (IPN). Whereas
gsc2
neurons are activated by electric shock,
rln3a
neurons exhibit spontaneous fluctuations in calcium signaling and regulate locomotor activity. Our findings define heterogeneous neurons in the NI and provide new tools to probe its diverse functions.
Culturally responsive assessment in compulsory schooling in Denmark and Iceland - An illusion or a reality? A comparative study of student teachers’ experiences and perspectives
Authors: Benediktsson Artëm Ingmar
Published: August 2023

This paper explores and compares student teachers’ experiences and perspectives on culturally responsive assessment in compulsory schooling in Denmark and Iceland. The study’s theoretical framework draws on scholarship on culturally responsive assessment. The data was derived from fourteen interviews with Danish student teachers and ten interviews with Icelandic student teachers. As per the selection criteria, all participants had to be in the final stages of their education process, meaning they had completed their on-site schoolteacher training and most courses in their teacher education programme. During the interviews, the participants reflected on pre-instructional, formative, and summative assessment practices with cultural diversity in mind. Furthermore, they discussed the importance of assessing children’s well-being. In both countries, the participants demonstrated positive attitudes towards cultural diversity and expressed awareness of considering children’s cultural and linguistic backgrounds when assessing them. On the other hand, most participants expressed criticism of teacher education programmes for lacking attention to the topic of culturally responsive assessment, which resulted in their rudimentary understanding of the theoretical underpinnings.

En el presente trabajo, se buscó estudiar las percepciones de terapeutas infanto-juveniles en Chile sobre su experiencia clínica durante la pandemia por Covid-19. Específicamente, se exploraron sus recursos, herramientas y dificultades durante sus atenciones en salud mental. Para ello, se empleó una metodología cualitativa, y se realizaron 8 entrevistas semi-estructuradas, las que fueron analizadas con codificación axial y abierta. Dentro de los resultados de la investigación, destaca el desarrollo y formación de la alianza terapéutica en la atención online. En efecto, según las y los participantes, esta se logra establecer, pero permanece la duda sobre la calidad del vínculo terapéutico, en comparación al formato presencial. Luego, se logran identificar recursos profesionales, personales y familiares que permitieron a las y los terapeutas adaptarse al contexto de telepsicología. En contraparte, se detecta un desgaste importante en los y las pacientes infanto-juveniles y sus familias, tanto a nivel relacional como económico. Asimismo, en base a la literatura y a los testimonios recabados, surge la importancia de prevenir y detectar a tiempo el desgaste profesional, o síndrome de burnout en profesionales de la salud mental. Para ello, se recomienda promover el autocuidado para los y las terapeutas en el área de la salud mental.

Published: August 2023

The present investigation to estimate genetic variability was carried out with forty genotypes of onion which were collected from different locations of Karnataka and were evaluated for growth yield and quality traits. Among all the genotypes studied, Gadag Local exhibited highest plant height at 30 DAT (34.20 cm), 50 DAT (43.46) and 90 DAT (51.76 cm), highest number of leaves were produced by Nasik Red at 50 DAT (9.40 cm) and Savalagi Local at 90 DAT (13.53 cm), Sathara Local exhibited highest equatorial diameter (4.54 cm). highest total soluble solids (15.03%) was recorded by Gadag Local.  Kalasakoppa Local produced highest dry matter (20.16%) and      B-780 took less number of days to maturity (100days), Bilagi Local had highest polar diameter (4.93 cm). The high GCV and PCV was observed for ten bulb weight and leaf diameter respectively. High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for ten bulb weight and Total yield(q/ha)  Hence, for future onion improvement, these well performing genotypes can be subjected to selection and also used as parents in hybridization programme to obtain varieties/hybrids with desirable quality and higher yield.

Objective

Most patients with Marchiafava–Bignami disease (MBD) had unfavorable prognosis, with disability or death. We aimed to determine the risk factors of early unfavorable prognosis of MBD, and to develop a predictive nomogram for early unfavorable prognosis of MBD.

Methods

MBD patients admitted to our hospital between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2021 were included. Unfavorable prognosis was defined as mRS score ≥3, the independent risk factors for unfavorable prognosis of MBD with the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidential interval (CI) acquired by multiple logistic regression were included in development of the predictive nomogram for early unfavorable prognosis of MBD, and the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated. The published case reports of MBD were used as the external validation group to verify the predictive ability of the nomogram.

Results

Independent risk factors for early unfavorable prognosis of MBD included Glasgow Coma Scale score (OR = 0.636, 95% CI = 0.506–0.800, p = 0.004) and pneumonia (OR = 2.317, 95% CI = 1.003–5.352, p = 0.049). The AUC of the nomogram was 0.852. Ninety‐four case reports, a total of 100 cases of MBD were included as the external validation group, its AUC was 0.840. The online dynamic nomogram for early unfavorable prognosis of MBD was constructed.

Interpretation

It is confirmed by external validation that the nomogram has a preferable predictive ability and clinical efficacy, and the dynamic online predictive nomogram is helpful for physicians to quickly assess the prognosis of MBD.
Connections: Time, Landscape, and the Art of Andy Goldsworthy

Published: August 2023

The oeuvre of artist Andy Goldsworthy utilises ‘found’ natural objects like leaves, rocks, ice and sticks to create captivating, often ephemeral interventions into the natural landscape that remind us of the power of natural beauty and the continuously changing seasons. Architectural writer Eva Menuhin discusses some of the traits in his work, which has recently become more monolithic yet is still concerned with movement, natural materiality and time, as seen in his work in progress ‘Hanging Stones’.
Dynamic Reciprocities: Exploring the Site of Production

There is another type of art produced when creating work – a kind of second‐order art. It consists of what is left over after a piece is made: the residue, the detritus of creation. Some contend this is often as important as the initial piece itself. Architect and teacher Peter J Baldwin has long held that this is the case. He leads us on a journey of creative archaeology through some architectural examples, revealing how that which is seldom valued – the shrapnel of creative explosions – has a poetry of its own.
Neo‐Fluxus: Multimedia Performance Art and Architecture

Published: August 2023

Space Interface is a collaboration between artist‐architect Mathew Emmett and the legendary Eberhard Kranemann, a German neo‐Fluxus artist and founding member of electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. Here, Emmett describes how, through mixed‐reality performance and audiovisual installation, their work transforms architectural settings by using video and electronic improvisation to evoke extended levels of architectural reality. They consider buildings as psychological prostheses, and their experiments attempt to invert and extend what might constitute architecture.

Halide double perovskite semiconductors such as Cs2AgBiBr6 are widely investigated as a more stable, less toxic alternative to lead‐halide perovskites in light conversion applications including photovoltaics and photoredox catalysis. However, the relatively large and indirect bandgap of Cs2AgBiBr6 limits efficient sunlight absorption. Here, it is shown that controlled replacement of Bi3+ with Fe3+ via mechanochemical synthesis results in a remarkable tunable absorption onset between 2.1 and ≈1 eV. First‐principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that this bandgap reduction originates primarily from a lowering of the conduction band upon the introduction of Fe3+, and predict a direct bandgap when >50% of Bi3+ is replaced with Fe3+. The tunability of the conduction band energy is found and reflected in the photoredox activity of these semiconductors. These findings open new avenues for enhancing the sunlight absorption of double perovskite semiconductors and for harnessing their full potential in sustainable energy applications.

The presence of electron correlations in a system with topological order can lead to exotic ground states. Considering single crystals of LaAgSb2 which has a square net crystal structure, one finds multiple charge density wave transitions (CDW) as the temperature is lowered. Large planar Hall (PHE) signals are found in the CDW phase, which are still finite in the high‐temperature phase though they change sign. Optimizing the structure within first‐principles calculations, one finds an unusual chiral metallic phase. This is because as the temperature is lowered, the separation between the Ag/Sb atoms on different layers decreases, leading to stronger repulsions between electrons associated with atoms on different layers. This leads to successive layers sliding with respect to each other, thereby stabilizing a chiral structure in which inversion symmetry is also broken. The large Berry curvature associated with the low‐temperature structure explains the low‐temperature PHE. At high temperature, the PHE arises from the changes induced in the anisotropic Dirac cone in presence of a magnetic field. This work represents a route toward detecting and understanding the mechanism in a correlation‐driven topological transition through electron transport measurements, complemented by ab‐initio electronic structure calculations.

Published: August 2023

Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction into value‐added fuels and chemicals by renewable electric energy is one of the important strategies to address global energy shortage and carbon emission. Though the classical H‐type electrolytic cell can quickly screen high‐efficiency catalysts, the low current density and limited CO2 mass transfer process essentially impede its industrial applications. The electrolytic cells based on electrolyte flow system (flow cells) have shown great potential for industrial devices, due to higher current density, improved local CO2 concentration, and better mass transfer efficiency. The design and optimization of flow cells are of great significance to further accelerate the industrialization of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). In this review, the progress of flow cells for CO2RR to C2+ products is concerned. Firstly, the main events in the development of the flow cells for CO2RR are outlined. Second, the main design principles of CO2RR to C2+ products, the architectures, and types of flow cells are summarized. Third, the main strategies for optimizing flow cells to generate C2+ products are reviewed in detail, including cathode, anode, ion exchange membrane, and electrolyte. Finally, the preliminary attempts, challenges, and the research prospects of flow cells for industrial CO2RR toward C2+ products are discussed.

Synthetic single crystals of bulk molybdenum disulphide cleaved in ultrahigh vacuum are mapped across a large (≈25 mm2) area by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, both statically and transiently following above‐bandgap excitation by an ultrafast laser. This work finds that: I) A cleaved surface typically displays spatially inhomogeneous properties, manifested by large (≈1 eV) variations in binding energy and band bending and variable degrees of stability of those over time as a result of variable gas uptakes from the residual atmosphere. II) Moderate (350 °C) annealing and exposure to molecular hydrogen can be cycled to switch between smaller and larger surface band bending, the switch being reversible but strongly sample‐position dependent. III) Upon exposure to atomic hydrogen, the binding energy of the entire surface levels out to a common (within <0.05 eV) value corresponding to a Fermi level pinned close to mid‐bandgap. Such remarkable effect is attributed to the ability of hydrogen atoms to serve as donors and acceptors alike, thus neutralizing local charge imbalances inevitably present at the surface in consequence of intrinsic and/or cleavage‐induced defects. With subsequent moderate annealing, the hydrogenated surface preserves a fairly homogenous electronic state which is however characterized by a lower binding energy and little to no band bending.

This article presents an approach to achieve a fast and analog geometrical phase modulation based on the optical axis rotation of the defect‐free Deformed Helix Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (DHFLC) with a short pitch. This study demonstrates a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) prototype with a feature size of 3 µm without Fringe Field Effect (FFE), having a phase depth of 1.9π, fast switching time (<250 µs) at a low operating voltage (<7 V), and high diffraction efficiency (>77%). The high phase modulation depth is achieved by developing DHFLC with a cone angle of up to 85˚, which is inherently immune to FFE. The ellipticity is minimized by using a compensation film that can suppress the changes in birefringence under the applied electric field. The proposed SLM is promising in applications such as a real‐time hologram and dynamic beam steering in Light Ranging and Detector (LiDAR).
