Authors: Bruzda Rafał , Wilczyński Bartosz , Zorena Katarzyna
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study was to assess psycho-physical deficits among young athletes with history of Osgood Shlatter Disease (OSD-H) compared to adolescents without history of knee pain (Control group). Eighteen participants were recruited from a group of 80 young (U14–U17) male soccer players. Medical records, and Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) were performed from both groups. The tests were conducted to assess the anthropometric characteristics, knee and ankle range of motion (Ely’s and Weight Bearing Lunge tests), and muscle power of the lower limbs (Leg Press, Single Leg Countermovement Jump, and Single Leg Hop for Distance). Results showed that overall patient-relevant outcomes following OSD (87%) were significantly lower than in the Control group (95%) (p < 0.05). Scores of the KOOS subscales revealed that Quality of Life and Function, Sports and recreational activities were significantly lower in the OSD-H group (p < 0.05). Although, there were no differences in subscale scores for Pain, Symptoms and Daily Activities. There were, also no difference between groups in range of motion angles and muscle power of the lower limbs values. The preliminary results support existing knowledge indicate that OSD may have a long-term influence on function, sports and recreational participation, and quality of life on young athletes.

Published: November 2023

The reconstruction of complex time-evolving fields from sensor observations is a grand challenge. Frequently, sensors have extremely sparse coverage and low-resource computing capacity for measuring highly nonlinear phenomena. While numerical simulations can model some of these phenomena using partial differential equations, the reconstruction problem is ill-posed. Data-driven-strategies provide crucial disambiguation, but these suffer in cases with small amounts of data, and struggle to handle large domains. Here we present the Senseiver, an attention-based framework that excels in reconstructing complex spatial fields from few observations with low overhead. The Senseiver reconstructs n-dimensional fields by encoding arbitrarily sized sparse sets of inputs into a latent space using cross-attention, producing uniform-sized outputs regardless of the number of observations. This allows efficient inference by decoding only a sparse set of output observations, while a dense set of observations is needed to train. This framework enables training of data with complex boundary conditions and extremely large fine-scale simulations. We build on the Perceiver IO by enabling training models with fewer parameters, which facilitates field deployment, and a training framework that allows a flexible number of sensors as input, which is critical for real-world applications. We show that the Senseiver advances the state-of-the-art of field reconstruction in many applications.

Characterizing Speech Phenotype in Individuals With Craniofacial Microsomia: A Scoping Review
Authors: Kinter Sara , Kotlarek Katelyn , Meehan Anna , Heike Carrie
Published: November 2023

Introduction:

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a complex congenital condition primarily affecting the ear, mandible, facial nerve and muscles, and tongue. Individuals with CFM are at increased risk of hearing loss, obstructive sleep apnea, and feeding/swallowing difficulties. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize evidence pertaining to speech production in CFM.

Method:

All articles reporting any characteristic of speech production in CFM were included and screened by two independent reviewers by title, abstract, and full text. Data charting captured details related to study population and design, CFM diagnostic criteria, speech outcome measurement, and key findings. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist guided reporting of results. Our protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/npr94/) and published elsewhere.

Results:

Forty-five articles were included in the detailed review. Most articles originated from the United States, were published in the past decade, and utilized case report/series study design. A speech-language pathologist authored 29%. The prevalence of velopharyngeal insufficiency ranged from 19% to 55% among studies. Oral distortion of alveolar and palatal fricatives and affricates primarily characterized articulation errors. Studies identified increased disordered speech and lower intelligibility in adolescents with CFM compared to unaffected peers. Evidence pertaining to phonatory and respiratory speech findings is limited.

Conclusions:

Evidence supports that individuals with CFM are at increased risk of both velopharyngeal and articulatory speech differences. Additional information is needed to develop speech screening guidelines for children with CFM. Heterogeneity in study design and outcome measurement precludes comparisons across studies.

Unique Patterns of Bilingual Speech: Factors Affecting Disfluency Rates in Russian–Hebrew Bilingual Children
Authors: Fichman Sveta , Adelman Cahtia , Altman Carmit
Published: November 2023

Purpose:

Bilingual children often demonstrate a high rate of disfluencies, which might impact the diagnostic evaluation of fluency disorders; however, research on the rates and types of disfluencies in bilinguals' two languages is limited. The purpose of this research is to profile disfluencies of two types, stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) and other disfluencies (ODs), in the speech of Russian–Hebrew bilingual typically developing children, focusing on cross-linguistic differences and the effect of language proficiency in both languages.

Method:

Spontaneous narratives based on the
Frog, Where Are You?
(Mayer, 1969) picture book were collected in both languages from 40 bilingual Russian–Hebrew children aged 5;6–6;6 (years;months). The transcribed narratives were coded for SLD (sound, syllable, and monosyllabic word repetitions) and OD (multisyllabic word/phrase repetitions, interjections, and revisions), and their frequencies per 100 syllables were calculated.

Results:

Overall, most children had a percentage of SLD and OD below the cutoff point and within the existing criteria for stuttering diagnosis established based on monolingual data, but several children exceeded this stuttering criterion. Monosyllabic word repetitions (part of SLD) and interjections (part of OD) were more frequent in Hebrew than in Russian. Lower proficiency was associated with a higher percentage of monosyllabic word repetitions and of interjections in both languages.

Conclusions:

Bilingual disfluency criteria are needed, since based on the existing monolingual criteria, some children might be erroneously assessed as children who stutter, thus leading to overdiagnosis. The results support the claim that proficiency is an important factor in the production of disfluencies.
Automating Intended Target Identification for Paraphasias in Discourse Using a Large Language Model
Authors: Salem Alexandra C. , Gale Robert C. , Fleegle Mikala , Fergadiotis Gerasimos , Bedrick Steven
Published: November 2023

Purpose:

To date, there are no automated tools for the identification and fine-grained classification of paraphasias within discourse, the production of which is the hallmark characteristic of most people with aphasia (PWA). In this work, we fine-tune a large language model (LLM) to automatically predict paraphasia targets in Cinderella story retellings.

Method:

Data consisted of 332 Cinderella story retellings containing 2,489 paraphasias from PWA, for which research assistants identified their intended targets. We supplemented these training data with 256 sessions from control participants, to which we added 2,415 synthetic paraphasias. We conducted four experiments using different training data configurations to fine-tune the LLM to automatically “fill in the blank” of the paraphasia with a predicted target, given the context of the rest of the story retelling. We tested the experiments' predictions against our human-identified targets and stratified our results by ambiguity of the targets and clinical factors.

Results:

The model trained on controls and PWA achieved 50.7% accuracy at exactly matching the human-identified target. Fine-tuning on PWA data, with or without controls, led to comparable performance. The model performed better on targets with less human ambiguity and on paraphasias from participants with fluent or less severe aphasia.

Conclusions:

We were able to automatically identify the intended target of paraphasias in discourse using just the surrounding language about half of the time. These findings take us a step closer to automatic aphasic discourse analysis. In future work, we will incorporate phonological information from the paraphasia to further improve predictive utility.

Scale size of cometary bow shocks
Authors: Edberg N. J. T. , Eriksson A.I. , Vigren E. , Nilsson H. , Gunell H. , Götz C. , Richter I. , Henri P. , De Keyser J.
Published: November 2023

Context. In past decades, several spacecraft have visited comets to investigate their plasma environments. In the coming years, Comet Interceptor will make yet another attempt. This time, the target comet and its outgassing activity are unknown and may not be known before the spacecraft has been launched into its parking orbit, where it will await a possible interception. If the approximate outgassing rate can be estimated remotely when a target has been identified, it is desirable to also be able to estimate the scale size of the plasma environment, defined here as the region bound by the bow shock.

Aims. This study aims to combine previous measurements and simulations of cometary bow shock locations to gain a better understanding of how the scale size of cometary plasma environments varies. We compare these data with models of the bow shock size, and we furthermore provide an outgassing rate-dependent shape model of the bow shock. We then use this to predict a range of times and cometocentric distances for the crossing of the bow shock by Comet Interceptor, together with expected plasma density measurements along the spacecraft track.

Methods. We used data of the location of cometary bow shocks from previous spacecraft missions, together with simulation results from previously published studies. We compared these results with an existing model of the bow shock stand-off distance and expand on this to provide a shape model of cometary bow shocks. The model in particular includes the cometary outgassing rate, but also upstream solar wind conditions, ionisation rates, and the neutral flow velocity.

Results. The agreement between the gas-dynamic model and the data and simulation results is good in terms of the stand-off distance of the bow shock as a function of the outgassing rate. For outgassing rates in the range of 1027–1031–s-1, the scale size of cometary bow shocks can vary by four orders of magnitude, from about 102 km to 106 km, for an ionisation rate, flow velocity, and upstream solar wind conditions typical of those at 1 AU. The proposed bow shock shape model shows that a comet plasma environment can range in scale size from the plasma environment of Mars to about half of that of Saturn.

Conclusions. The model-data agreement allows for the planning of upcoming spacecraft comet encounters, such as that of Comet Interceptor, when a target has been identified and its outgassing rate is determined. We conclude that the time a spacecraft can spend within the plasma environment during a flyby can range from minutes to days, depending on the comet that is visited and on the flyby speed. However, to capture most of the comet plasma environment, including pick-up ions and upstream plasma waves, and to ensure the highest possible scientific return, measurements should still start well upstream of the expected bow shock location. From the plasma perspective, the selected target should preferably be an active comet with the lowest possible flyby velocity.
Modelling the dust emission of a filament in the Taurus molecular cloud
Authors: Juvela Mika
Published: November 2023

Context. Dust emission is an important tool in studies of star-forming clouds as a tracer of column density. This is done indirectly via the dust evolution that is connected to the history and physical conditions of the clouds.

Aims. We examine the radiative transfer (RT) modelling of dust emission over an extended cloud region, using a filament in the Taurus molecular cloud as an example. We examine how well far-infrared (FIR) observations can be used to determine both the cloud and the dust properties.

Methods. Using different assumptions on the cloud shape, radiation field, and dust properties, we fit RT models to Herschel observations of the Taurus filament. We made further comparisons with measurements of the near-infrared extinction. The models were used to examine the degeneracies between the different cloud parameters and the dust properties.

Results. The results show a significant dependence on the assumed cloud structure and the spectral shape of the external radiation field. If these are constrained to the most likely values, the observations can be explained only if the dust FIR opacity has increased by a factor of 2–3 relative to the values in diffuse medium. However, a narrow range of FIR wavelengths provides only weak evidence of the spatial variations in dust, even in the models covering several square degrees of a molecular cloud.

Conclusions. The analysis of FIR dust emission is affected by several sources of uncertainty. Further constraints are therefore needed from observations at shorter wavelengths, especially with respect to trends in dust evolution.

Tunda Island is one of the islands at the northern tip of Banten Province, with natural and well-maintained seagrass and mangrove ecosystems. Even though its location is close to an urban area, the use of aquatic resources such as fishing and cultivation is small compared to other islands. However, developing issues such as sand mining plans will undoubtedly impact the surrounding coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves and seagrass in Tunda Island. Related to their role in reducing the impact of climate change, these two ecosystems need to be protected because coastal ecosystems are ten times more effective at sequestering carbon dioxide per area than boreal, temperate, or tropical forests. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the potential of seagrass and mangrove biomass for blue carbon storage on Tunda Island as baseline data for managing small islands that are still natural. Calculation of the area of mangrove and seagrass ecosystems on Tunda Island was obtained by classifying high-resolution imagery from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Drones. The potential for blue carbon storage was calculated using the allometric equation on seagrass (percent cover and density) and mangroves (DBH and wood density). The results showed that Tunda Island had six species of seagrass, which were dominated by Thalassia hemprichii, and six species of mangrove, which Rhizopora apiculata dominated. Based on the results of the UAV Drone image classification, the mangrove and seagrass ecosystem area was 14 and 398 ha. After that, it can be calculated that the potential value of blue carbon stores in Tunda Island is 160,38 tons C, with the most significant carbon stock being 60% in the mangrove ecosystem biomass and 40% in seagrass biomass. These results mean that blue carbon stock in Tunda Island has a small value compared with Indonesia's average mangrove and seagrass carbon data.

Indonesia as an archipelagic country is prone to damage to coral reefs. The grounding of ships on coral reefs has resulted in severe physical and biological damage. The grounding of ships on coral reefs has resulted in severe physical and biological damage, including the uprooting and crashing of coral skeletons, dislodgment and displacement of sediment, and loss of three-dimensional complexity. Most of the damage was devastating. The purpose of this study is to identify levels of damage and impact of shipgrounding to coral reefs in Indonesian waters. The research method in this study uses the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) and underwater photo transect (UPT) to measurement of the level of damage and its impact. The result of this study is profile of coral reefs that were predominantly hit by ships was a patch reef (67%) and and mostly occurred due to human error (78%). This research found some types of damage in the form of a trajectory, mounds, propeller, partials, and dispersals. There has been a very significant change in the bottom substrate of the waters both by large, medium, and small vessels. The average live hard coral cover in affected area from 42.70 ± 5.26%, changing to no live coral, it is mean the mortality of live coral cover reached 100%. And rubble coverage increased from 11.19±6.10% to 61±18.41%. Increasing of rubble is an important concern because it causes acute damage to coral reefs, the same as coral damage caused by fishing bombs and destructive fishing.

The Anambas Islands is located in the Natuna Sea - the southern part of the South China Sea, encompassing vital marine ecosystems. Among these ecosystems, the mangrove stands out as crucial in the Anambas, playing an important role in providing a range of ecosystem services. However, spatial information regarding the condition of this ecosystem is very limited. In this study, our focus was on estimating and mapping the aboveground biomass (AGB) of mangroves across the Anambas using a combination of field survey and satellite remote sensing data. We employed seven vegetation indices along with five regression methods to determine the most suitable combination for producing an AGB. Our findings revealed that the incorporation of Sentinel-2 remote sensing images and field survey data can be used to model the AGB. The best combination model was the Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) and polynomial regression, achieving an accuracy of 72.09%. Anambas was estimated to possess a potential AGB of 369,371.47 tonnes and a carbon stock of 173,604.59 tonnes. These findings provide valuable information for regional conservation strategies, including the identification of protected zones, the establishment of a baseline for mangrove conditions, and the assessment of carbon credit in the Anambas.

Batam is one of the areas included in the Riau Islands and is directly adjacent to neighboring Malaysia and Singapore. The border area owned by Batam has strategic problems to be studied. From this problem, the condition of the border area can harm the site, one of which is people smuggling. So, from this, the researcher aims to examine the problem of handling people smuggling crimes in the border area of the Batam City case study. The research method carried out is descriptive qualitative. Researchers also obtained primary data from various interviews with related agencies and different secondary data in addition to completing this study. The interim result of this study is the problem of transnational crime. This study’s provisional result is that international crime is crossing the boundaries of a country whose actions have detrimental and dangerous effects. One of the ways to overcome this problem is the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), which aims to eradicate transnational organized crime, one of which is related to people smuggling. In Indonesia, there is Law No. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration, which also regulates people smuggling crimes in Indonesian territory, including Batam City. This law is one of the efforts to prevent people smuggling crimes. The border area as the front guard in maintaining the stability of the Republic of Indonesia must be maintained and supported. Because people smuggling has very potential as a gateway in and out of international criminal acts such as narcotics, human trafficking.

To improve the implementation of governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia, a synergy between governmental institutions and local community groups should be established, and the human resources capacity should be enhanced. Infrastructure should also be built, and environmental surveillance and control should be improved. The post-positivism research method is utilized to identify the implementation process and policies in governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia. The findings indicate that implementing governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia has challenges and obstacles. Still, it also has supporting factors such as support from various parties, clear regulations, and efforts to increase community participation in ecotourism management. Governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia must consider the interests of the environment and local communities. The government must ensure that ecotourism development in coastal areas is conducted with local wisdom and sustainable development.

Published: November 2023

Batam’s waters are a very busy sea lane and important for regional and international trade. High maritime activity, including the traffic of cargo ships, tankers, cruise ships, and passenger vessels, is an integral part of the economic and transportation life of the region. However, as a consequence of heavy maritime activity, the risk of ship accidents increases and is often a serious concern for those involved in the shipping industry and governments. Ship accidents can cause oil spills, dangerous chemicals, and other waste that can pollute waters, and beaches, and affect marine animal and plant life. This research uses normative research methods with qualitative analysis. This research aims to determine the application of the eco liability principle in marine pollution due to ship accidents in Batam waters. One of the concepts proposed to address the environmental impact of ship accidents is eco-liability, which is environmental responsibility.A method that focuses on comprehending and rebuilding marine ecosystems is needed to apply the notion of eco-liability to combat marine pollution caused by ship accidents. The concept of eco liability focuses on environmental restoration so that each polluter is responsible for providing compensation for environmental restoration efforts carried out through coordination between the central government and regional governments. To compensate for damage caused by oil pollution sufferers and control civil liabilities brought on by pollution accidents, international treaties have been formed.

Mangroves are important as a green belt for coastal areas. Mangrove logging is causing coastal degradation due to logging mangroves for land clearing. This study employs a qualitative and empirical legal method to analyze the issues that need addressing in this study on law enforcement in preventing coastal degradation caused by mangrove cutting in coastal Bintan, Indonesia, to prevent siltation of waters and straits through the application of the principle of the common heritage of mankind, so that marine and coastal sustainability can be realised. From the national data, the distribution of mangrove forests in Riau Islands Province is 68,417 ha, 37.000 hectares have been damaged, and at least 37 thousand ha have been destroyed. In addition, mangrove degradation, including logging, leads to problems of sea silt, which can negatively impact upstream agriculture and estuarine agriculture. The principle of shared heritage of mankid must be implemented in the mangrove region. Therefore, coastal mangrove must be conserved in order to prevent destruction and the shallowing of the sea or strait.

Published: November 2023

Fühlen sich die Patienten an der Dialyse des Uniklinikums Jena (UKJ) durch Lärm gestört und wirkt sich dies negativ auf die Lebensqualität aus? 100 Patienten wurden von 2019–2021 befragt. Zudem wurden die Dauerschallpegel ausgewählter Schallquellen gemessen. Alarmsignale waren mit einem Pegel von 63 dB (A) LAeq am lautesten. Die Gesamtlautstärke der Dialysestation betrug 56 dB (A) LAeq. Die Auswertung des Fragebogens zeigte, dass sich 18 % der Patienten manchmal oder ständig durch Lärm an der Dialyse gestört fühlen. Ein nachweisliches Lärmbelästigungspotenzial ging von Alarmsignalen, dem medizinischen Personal sowie medizinischen Geräten aus. Bestimmte persönliche und soziale Faktoren können die Lärmbelästigung an der Dialyse begünstigen. Die Lebensqualität der Dialysepatienten ist niedriger als die der Allgemeinbevölkerung. Eine Beeinflussung der Lebensqualität durch die Lautstärke an der Dialyse wurde nicht nachgewiesen. Aus Patientensicht besteht kein dringender Handlungsbedarf, die Lautstärke zu reduzieren.

Anliegen des Gesetzgebers in Deutschland war es, die Versorgung psychisch kranker Menschen in Modellvorhaben nach §64b SGB V weiterzuentwickeln. Die Krankenkassen bewerten die sektorenübergreifende Versorgung durch die Krankenhäuser in den Modellvorhaben überwiegend positiv. Im internationalen Vergleich ist die Hospitalisierungsrate in Deutschland insgesamt jedoch nach wie vor überdurchschnittlich hoch. Daher schlagen die Krankenkassen einen neuen ordnungspolitischen Rahmen vor, in dem eine flexiblere Patientenversorgung möglich und zugleich das tatsächliche Versorgungsgeschehen transparenter werden sollen.

Published: November 2023

In dieser Arbeit werden Möglichkeiten untersucht, das psychiatrische Versorgungssystem weiterzuentwickeln, sodass Krankenkassen- und Teilhabeleistungen integrativ erbracht werden können. Anhand ausgewählter Modellvorhaben nach § 64b SGB V in den Städten Heide und Geesthacht werden Initiativen dargestellt, in denen eine sektor- und rechtskreisübergreifende Kooperation entwickelt wurde. Während die zentrale Triebkraft für Innovation in den Modellvorhaben die globale Budgetfinanzierung ist, besteht durch die Reform des Bundesteilhabegesetztes erstmals im SGB IX bzw. VIII Bereich die Möglichkeit, Globalbudgets zu vereinbaren. Hieran anknüpfend wir die Idee skizziert, wie durch Koppelung der Budgets sogenannte globale Behandlungs- und Teilhabebudgets (GBTB) geschaffen werden könnten. Im Rahmen eines GBTB könnten mobile, multiprofessionelle Teams die Leistungen der verschiedenen Sozialgesetzbücher integriert erbringen und somit Patienten mit komplexen Versorgungsbedarfen intensiv gemeindenah versorgen und stationäre Behandlungs- und Wohnformen vermeiden.

Die Entwicklung regionaler krankenhauszentrierter Versorgungsnetzwerke ist aus Sicht der Deutschen Krankenhausgesellschaft (DKG) ein wichtiges Instrument zur nachhaltigen Weiterentwicklung der psychiatrischen und psychosomatischen Versorgungsstrukturen. Es bedarf einer stärkeren Öffnung der Krankenhäuser für die ambulante Versorgung und der Schaffung von Versorgungsnetzwerken mit fließenden Übergängen zwischen verschiedenen Behandlungsformen. Dies erfordert eine Anpassung der Vergütungssysteme und eine Koordination der Netzwerke im Rahmen der Krankenhausplanung der Bundesländer. Die Modellvorhaben nach § 64b SGB V haben gezeigt, dass sektoren- und settingübergreifende Versorgungskonzepte eine kontinuierliche und bedarfsgerechte Betreuung der Patienten ermöglichen. Dementsprechend schlägt die DKG vor, die Modellvorhaben als „Optionsmodell“ in die Regelversorgung zu überführen. Eine schrittweise Überführung mit Bedacht und unter Berücksichtigung der regionalen Besonderheiten ist dabei entscheidend.

Der Beitrag beschreibt die Positionierung zu grundsätzlichen Veränderungen der psychiatrisch-psychotherapeutischen Behandlung mit den Mitteln des Krankenhauses aus Sicht des Netzwerks „Steuerungs- und Anreizsysteme für eine moderne psychiatrische Versorgung“. Im Kern werden die Herausforderungen des Gesundheitssystems in Deutschland geschildert, die für Menschen bestehen, die von psychischen Erkrankungen betroffen sind und der Behandlungen mit den Mitteln des Krankenhauses bedürfen. Dabei wird die aktuell diskutierte Reform der Krankenhausversorgung in Deutschland als Chance gesehen, auch für die psychiatrisch-psychotherapeutische Behandlung zu einer verbesserten Nutzung knapper personeller und finanzieller Ressourcen zu kommen. Eine flexible und integrative Behandlung in Kombination ambulant, teil- und vollstationärer Settings, wie in den Modellprojekten nach § 64b SGB V erprobt, wird vorgeschlagen. Modelle, die als Globalbudgets alle Patienten in einer Region und alle betreffenden Krankenkassen mit einbeziehen, werden als finanziell sinnvolle Alternative zum System der Regelversorgung skizziert bei mindestens gleichwertigem und teilweise überlegenem Outcome, auch was Aspekte sozialer Teilhabe und Vermeidung von Zwang angeht. Konkrete Umsetzungsideen werden entwickelt und die Bedeutung wohnortnaher Behandlungsangebote unterstrichen.

Der Klimawandel stellt uns vor globale Herausforderungen und Belastungen, die sich
nachteilig auf unsere psychische Gesundheit auswirken können. Unsere Umwelt,
sei es in Form von naturnahen oder urbanen Lebensräumen, sowie unsere
sozialen Strukturen, haben einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf unsere Stimmung, unser
Verhalten und unsere psychische Gesundheit. In der heutigen Zeit, geprägt
von zunehmenden ökologischen Herausforderungen, gewinnen diese
Zusammenhänge an noch größerer Relevanz.
Extremwetterereignisse und die Sorge um die Zukunft unseres Planeten führen
gerade in der jüngeren Generation, die sich bereits in der Pandemie
außerordentlichen Anforderungen ausgesetzt sah, zu Ängsten und
Gefühlen der Ohnmacht. Ein größeres Verständnis
für die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Umwelt und das Engagement
für eine nachhaltigere Lebensweise bieten aber auch Chancen für die
Verbesserung der psychischen Gesundheit. Der diesjährige DGPPN-Kongress
greift diese Zusammenhänge auf und bringt Experten aus verschiedenen
Bereichen unter dem Leitthema „Ökologische Psychiatrie und
Psychotherapie“ zusammen.
High-resolution frequency-comb spectroscopy with electro-optic sampling and instantaneous octave-wide coverage across mid-IR to THz at a video rate

Published: November 2023

Ultrabroadband electro-optic sampling using few-optical-cycle probing pulses is a sensitive technique to detect electric field amplitudes with a high dynamic range and up to near-infrared optical frequencies. By combining this method with dual-frequency-comb spectroscopy and using a new class of ultrafast lasers, we perform high-resolution, 80 MHz/0.0027 cm−1 (10 MHz/0.0003 cm−1 with spectral interleaving), spectroscopic measurements in the frequency range 1.5–45 THz (6.6–200 µm), excluding the strongly absorbing Reststrahlen band of lattice resonances at 4.5–9 THz, with an instantaneous spectral coverage exceeding an octave (e.g., 9–22 μm). As a driving source, we use a pair of mutually coherent combs from Kerr-lens mode-locked solid-state Cr:ZnS (2.35 μm) lasers. One of the combs is frequency downconverted via intrapulse difference frequency generation to produce a longwave “sensing” comb, while the second comb is frequency doubled to produce a near-IR “probe” comb for electro-optic sampling (EOS). The low intensity and phase noise of our dual-comb system allow for capturing a large amount of spectral information (200 000 comb-mode-resolved spectral lines spaced by 80 MHz) in the mid-IR portion of the spectrum at a video rate of 69 Hz, with the signal-to-noise ratio limited by the shot noise of the near-IR EOS balanced detection system. Our dual-comb spectroscopy measurements with low-pressure gaseous ethanol, isoprene, and dimethyl sulfide reveal Doppler-limited spectroscopic signatures that have never been explored before.
A cross-cultural analysis on career decision-making of college students: the role of Chinese mainstream ideology (Análisis intercultural sobre las decisiones de los universitarios respecto a sus salidas profesionales: el rol de la ideología dominante)
Authors: Shi Hairong
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the factors influencing the career decisions of Chinese college graduates. The study applied the experimental method, with a survey conducted among two groups of college graduates (Chinese and international students). The experiment involved 686 students (343 Chinese students and 343 international students) in their final year. The main criteria for career choices among Chinese students include motivation (76%), interest (62%), personal development (53%), aptitudes (48%), awareness of the profession (38%) and attitudes of their parents/instructors (72%). By contrast, international students chose personal development (81%), aptitudes (74%) and motivation (68%) among the criteria. A career guidance training programme has been developed in order to improve motivation and willingness of college graduates to make decisions about their careers. The practical value and research outlooks are based on the opportunities arising when determining the influence of cross-cultural characteristics on the choice of a profession in the course of exploring the motivation and willingness to make career decisions not just for college graduates but also for universities in China and other countries in a comparative context.

Main text

Nine AFRIMETS National Metrology Institutes participated in an interlaboratory comparison on hand instruments sponsored by PTB Germany during the period 2019 to 2022. SIRDC NMI piloted the comparison. Travelling artefacts included 0-25 mm and 50-75 mm external micrometers. External micrometer errors of indicated size were determined by taking measurements at 2.5 mm, 5.1 mm, 7.7 mm, 10.3 mm, 12.9 mm, 15 mm, 17.6 mm, 20.2 mm, 22.8 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm and 75 mm nominal positions. The NMIs also used different types of equipment and techniques to measure the length of a micrometer setting rod that was provided with the 50-75 mm external micrometer.

Measurement results taken on wrong nominal positions by one participant were not included in the final report. Those by another participant, not supported by a valid uncertainty budget, were excluded from reference value calculation. Reference values (RV) and their associated uncertainties were obtained using weighted mean method after outlier elimination. Birge ratios confirmed statistical consistency of data sets used for determination of RV. Degrees of equivalence of the participants were indicated by evaluated normalised Error (En) values. Most of the results reported show agreement with the reference values. Here we present the final results of the external micrometers comparison.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCL, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
Analysis of a regular black hole in Verlinde’s gravity
Authors: Araújo Filho A A
Published: November 2023

This work focuses on the examination of a regular black hole within Verlinde’s emergent gravity, specifically investigating the Hayward-like (modified) solution. The study reveals the existence of three horizons under certain conditions, i.e. an event horizon and two Cauchy horizons. Our results indicate regions which phase transitions occur based on the analysis of heat capacity and Hawking temperature. To compute the latter quantity, we utilize three distinct methods: the surface gravity approach, Hawking radiation, and the application of the first law of thermodynamics. In the case of the latter approach, it is imperative to introduce a correction to ensure the preservation of the Bekenstein–Hawking area law. Geodesic trajectories and critical orbits (photon spheres) are calculated, highlighting the presence of three light rings. Additionally, we investigate the black hole shadows. Furthermore, the quasinormal modes are explored using third- and sixth-order Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximations. In particular, we observe stable and unstable oscillations for certain frequencies. Finally, in order to comprehend the phenomena of time-dependent scattering in this scenario, we provide an investigation of the time-domain solution.
