Collisional Broadening within a Hadronic Transport Approach
Authors: Balinovic Branislav , Hirayama Renan , Elfner Hannah
Published: September 2023

We explore the emergence of the collisional broadening of hadrons under the influence of different media using the hadronic transport approach SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly interacting Hadrons), which employs vacuum properties and contains no a priori information about in-medium effects. In this context, we define collisional broadening as a decrease in the lifetime of hadrons, and it arises from an interplay between the cross-sections for inelastic processes and the available phase space. We quantify this effect for various hadron species, in both a thermal gas in equilibrium and in nuclear collisions. Furthermore, we distinguish the individual contribution of each process and verify the medium response to different vacuum assumptions; we see that the decay width that depends on the resonance mass leads to a larger broadening than a mass-independent scenario.
The Effect of Select SARS-CoV-2 N-Linked Glycan and Variant of Concern Spike Protein Mutations on C-Type Lectin-Receptor-Mediated Infection
Authors: Bains Arjan , Guan Wenyan , LiWang Patricia J.
Published: September 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 virion has shown remarkable resilience, capable of mutating to escape immune detection and re-establishing infectious capabilities despite new vaccine rollouts. Therefore, there is a critical need to identify relatively immutable epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 virion that are resistant to future mutations the virus may accumulate. While hACE2 has been identified as the receptor that mediates SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility, it is only modestly expressed in lung tissue. C-type lectin receptors like DC-SIGN can act as attachment sites to enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection of cells with moderate or low hACE2 expression. We developed an easy-to-implement assay system that allows for the testing of SARS-CoV-2 trans-infection. Using our assay, we assessed how SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1-domain glycans and spike proteins from different strains affected the ability of pseudotyped lentivirions to undergo DC-SIGN-mediated trans-infection. Through our experiments with seven glycan point mutants, two glycan cluster mutants and four strains of SARS-CoV-2 spike, we found that glycans N17 and N122 appear to have significant roles in maintaining COVID-19′s infectious capabilities. We further found that the virus cannot retain infectivity upon the loss of multiple glycosylation sites, and that Omicron BA.2 pseudovirions may have an increased ability to bind to other non-lectin receptor proteins on the surface of cells. Taken together, our work opens the door to the development of new therapeutics that can target overlooked epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 virion to prevent C-type lectin-receptor-mediated trans-infection in lung tissue.

Published: September 2023

Sandfly-borne phleboviruses are endemic in countries around the Mediterranean Basin and pose a significant health threat for populations, with symptoms spanning from febrile diseases to central nervous system involvement. We carried out a comprehensive cross-sectional screening via microneutralization (MN) assays for a quantitative assessment of neutralizing antibodies (NAs) to seven phleboviruses representing three distinct serocomplexes, using samples previously screened via immunofluorescence assays (IFAs) in Turkey, an endemic region with various phleboviruses in circulation. We detected NAs to three phleboviruses: Toscana virus (TOSV), sandfly fever Naples virus (SFNV), and sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV), while assays utilizing Adana virus, Punique virus, Massilia virus, and Zerdali virus remained negative. The most frequently observed virus exposure was due to TOSV, with a total prevalence of 22.6%, followed by SFNV (15.3%) and SFSV (12.1%). For each virus, IFA reactivity was significantly associated with NA detection, and further correlated with NA titers. TOSV and SFSV seroreactivities were co-detected, suggesting exposure to multiple pathogenic viruses presumably due to shared sandfly vectors. In 9.6% of the samples, multiple virus exposure was documented. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate widespread exposure to distinct pathogenic phleboviruses, for which diagnostic testing and serological screening efforts should be directed.
Challenges in the (Re-)Connection of Peripheral Areas to the Rail Network from a Rolling Stock Perspective: The Case of Germany
Authors: Hertel Benedikt , Pagenkopf Johannes , König Jens
Published: September 2023

Currently, in the course of the German mobility transition, an increasing number of disused rail lines are already being or intended to be reactivated in order to increase capacities, decrease transport-related emissions and reconnect rural areas to passenger rail services, thus creating a more comprehensive rail service. However, the use of state-of-the-art regional railcars on old rural infrastructure often leads to problems since they are often worn out and do not meet today’s technical standards. This applies, for example, to the axle loads and dimensions of the vehicles but also to operational aspects, such as the vehicle’s passenger capacity and accessibility. First, this work gives an overview of the available rolling stock and the given infrastructure, as well as an analysis of the (system) interfaces. Subsequently, various challenges for the re-connection of peripheral areas to the rail network were identified through data research and comparison of the vehicle and infrastructure parameters. In addition, the requirements related to possible autonomous operation and the related absence of the driver and crew personnel in the vehicle, which require new solutions in terms of safety, were taken into consideration. Orientation of future rolling stock generations towards the existing infrastructure and the required transport needs, including lower axle loads, accessibility and smaller capacities, can contribute to the economic operation of low-capacity lines and bring more passengers to public transport.

Published: September 2023

Communities in semi-arid lands use sand dams to enhance access water during the dry seasons. However, there is limited information on the quality of water derived from these sand dams, especially in degraded lands where storm surface runoff poses contamination risk. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the spatial–temporal variations in water quality of sand dams in Chepareria, West Pokot County in Kenya. Water samples were collected from scooping holes across 18 purposefully selected sand dams. Results obtained showed significant differences in water quality based on a sand dam’s age and location of the scooping holes, but the magnitude of these differences differed with specific properties. For instance, in recently constructed sand dams (<1 year), scooping holes near the sand dam wall had lower pH values (8.5) than holes scooped a distance from the sand dam wall (9.2). For total dissolved solutes and microbial properties, sand dam age had the greatest impact, over the location of the scooping holes. For example, water obtained from <1 year old sand dams had significantly higher TDS with an average value of 100.3 mg L−1. The thermotolerant coliforms (TTC) exceeded the maximum allowable levels recommended by The World Health Organization. Thus, water obtained from these sand dams should be treated before consumption. Finally, sand dams meant for domestic water harvesting should be protected. Shallow wells with appropriate aprons for effective protection against contamination should be installed to enhance abstraction of safe water from sand dams.
A Review of Karakoram Glacier Anomalies in High Mountains Asia
Authors: Li Jiawei , Sun Meiping , Yao Xiaojun , Duan Hongyu , Zhang Cong , Wang Shuyang , Niu Shuting , Yan Xin
Published: September 2023

Influenced by global warming, glaciers in High Mountains Asia (HMA) generally show a trend of retreat and thinning, but in Karakoram, Pamir, and West Kunlun there is a trend of glacier stabilization or even a weak advance. In this study, using a bibliometric analysis, we systematically sorted the area, mass balance, and elevation changes of the glaciers in Karakoram and summarized the glacier surges in HMA. The study shows that, since the 1970s, the glaciers in the Karakoram region have experienced a weak positive mass balance, with weakly reducing area and the increasing surface elevation. The north slope of Chogori Peak and the Keltsing River Basin presented a glacier retreat rate with a fast to slow trend. The anomaly is mainly due to low summer temperatures and heavy precipitation in winter and spring in the Karakoram region. There are a large number of surging glaciers in the Karakoram Mountains, the Pamir Plateau, and the West Kunlun region in the western part of HMA, especially in the Karakoram Mountains and the Pamir Plateau, which account for more than 70% of the number of surging glaciers in the entire HMA. The glaciers in the Karakoram and Kunlun Mountains are mainly affected by the synergistic influence of various factors, such as hydrothermal conditions, atmospheric circulation, and topography. However, the glaciers in the Pamir region are mainly influenced by the thermal mechanism of the glacier surge. The glaciers in and around Karakoram are critical to the hydrological response to climate change, and glacial meltwater is an important freshwater resource in arid and semi-arid regions of South and Central Asia, as well as in western China. Therefore, changes in the Karakoram anomaly will remain a hot research topic in the future.
Effects of Soil–Rock Geomorphic Units on the Yield of Surface Runoff: A Case Study on Uncultivated Land of a Karst Area
Authors: Zhao Zhimeng , Wang Qinghe , Zhang Jin
Published: September 2023

Surface runoff on karst is a multifactorial hydrological process. There are a great number of studies focusing on rainfall–runoff from karst slopes on a large scale, but microscale studies related to soil–rock geomorphic units have been rarely reported. This study used rock–soil runoff plots on uncultivated land as a new form of natural rainfall catchment, and the yield of surface runoff was measured during four different rainfall events. Through monitoring rainfall runoff by soil–rock runoff plots under different rainfall events, it has been proven that the coefficient of surface runoff measured on uncultivated land of a karst area is very small compared to that of non-karst areas, only ranging from 0.0145 to 0.0408 in the measurement period. And multiple regression analysis showed that the rocks contributed less to the yield of surface runoff than the soils, and with the increase in rainfall, the contributions of both showed an increasing trend. The calculated surface runoff yield produced by soils showed a positive relationship with soil bulk density and a negative relationship with soil porosity, soil hydraulic conductivity, and root biomass, and the significance increased with rainfall, which was consistent with previous findings and demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method in our study. These study results contribute to a deeper understanding of the rainfall–runoff process in rocky desertification areas, and the proposed method of soil–rock runoff plots provides a new way to estimate the yield of rainfall runoff on the complicated geomorphic units of karst slopes.

Scientists’ Warning: Remove the Barriers to Contraception Access, for Health of Women and the Planet
Authors: Greguš Jan , Guillebaud John
Published: September 2023

The human population reached 8 billion in 2022 and is still growing, and will possibly peak at 10.4 billion in 2086. Environmental science mandates that continued growth of the human enterprise on a finite planet is unsustainable and already in overshoot. Indeed, 3 billion is an evidence-based target number, for our species in competition with all non-human life-forms. We must achieve zero population growth and, ultimately, a massive decrease. Commonly, even among environmentalists who are not “population-deniers”, human numbers are seen as a given, to be adapted to rather than influenced or managed. Yet, just and appropriate interventions exist. The fundamental requirement is the empowerment of women, removing the barriers in many settings to their education (including environmental education, and the reproductive ethics of smaller families) and to realistic, voluntary access to contraception. Wherever “reproductive health” includes access to rights-based family planning, this not only promotes the health of the planet but also women’s health through, inter alia, their choice to have fewer and better-spaced children. This is ethical, pragmatic, and cost-effective—a prime example of preventive medicine. Politicians (mostly men) everywhere must embrace this long-term thinking and significantly increase the currently inadequate funding of contraceptive care. Herein is another Scientists’ Warning: there is just one planet for all life.

The article presents the results of a prospective observational study on the effect of laparoscopic fundoplication on esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease associated with hiatal hernia. It has been found that in this category of patients, the antireflux intervention significantly leads to an improvement in manometric parameters. This result is primarily due to the restoration of esophageal motility with its preoperative inefficiency in patients with type III hernias. Regarding segmental distal esophageal spasm, the fundoplication demonstrates a multidirectional effect. Surgical treatment may not affect this type of dysmotility in any way, may lead to the motility normalization, or cause the development of a similar variant of hyperkinesis in the postoperative period. When deciding whether to perform laparoscopic fundoplication, the presence of ineffective esophageal motility or distal esophageal spasm in patients is not an absolute contraindication for surgical intervention.

Modern methods for the surgical treatment of anal fistulas are minimally invasive and aimed at minimizing damage to the external anal sphincter, reducing the frequency of relapses in the postoperative period, and eliminating anal incontinence. One of the most promising surgical interventions at the moment are sphincter-saving techniques. In recent decades, numerous studies about the clinical effectiveness of surgical methods of anal fistula treatment have been made. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to analyze and evaluate the long-term results of minimally invasive methods of treating anal fistulas, in particular, laser thermal obliteration of fistulas.

Folklore: approaches to study, meanings, historical dynamics
Authors:   Department of Internal and External Communications of St. Petersburg Mining University of Empress Catherine II, Tikhomirov S.A.
Published: September 2023

The article attempted to conceptualize the term “folklore” taking into account the historical dynamics of the study and understanding of this cultural phenomenon by folkloristics. The main concepts that determine the essence of folklore are considered, a distinction is made between folklore and everyday speech practices. The change of sociality by the people in the XIX–XX centuries is discussed, which led to the fact that most stable social communities produce their own folklore. There is a high heuristic potential of folkloristics, which has theoretical and methodological tools and extensive interdisciplinary connections, which allow not only to systematically study folklore in all its diversity of forms — from archaic to ultramodern — but also to explore the “grassroots” unofficial traditions generated by the city.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spread across Bangladesh, affecting various sectors, including aquaculture. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects on aquaculture production and profitability in the country. The present study addresses this gap and investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic using a convenience questionnaire survey utilising face-to-face and telephonic interviews with 499 fish farmers from five prominent fish-culture regions (Satkhira, Khulna, Madaripur, Bhola, and Mymensingh) in Bangladesh from April to August 2020. The results show aquaculture production losses averaging 29.1 % during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the farmers reported a profit of USD3813 per hectare, which turned into a loss of USD2565.4 per hectare during the pandemic period. The standard multiple linear regression analysis indicated that large farms experienced a more significant impact on aquaculture production loss and economic loss during the pandemic period compared to small farms [β = 0.15, P = 0.029]. The causes for the production loss were identified by rank based quotient (RBQ), indicating that increased fish transportation costs and prices of seed and feed dominated during the lockdown. The lockdown and movement restrictions also reduced selling prices because of fewer buyers. The government provided financial support to the fish farmers, but only onethird (36 %) of the respondents received financial aid. The study suggests implementing medium and long-term measures, such as strengthening communication networks, digital marketing strategies and developing strategic planning initiatives to improve disaster management and resilience to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.
Advancing Empirics and Theory for a Deeper Political Economy Analysis Comment on "Health Coverage and Financial Protection in Uganda: A Political Economy Perspective"
Authors: Fox Ashley M.
Published: September 2023

At its core, political economy analysis involves examination of the relationship between the state and the market. A number of country case studies have emerged in recent years that aim to identify political economy factors facilitating or impeding health sector reforms towards universal coverage. In this commentary, we expand Nannini and colleagues’ analysis to elaborate on how political economy analyses can better inform policy design towards more successful reforms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by drawing more heavily on improved research design and theory. We suggest three ways that political economy studies could make deeper claims by historicizing analyses, going comparative and/or by grounding findings more deeply in theory.

Authors: Reiss Van Eggerman , Brown Lohfeld , Sisitsky Sisitsky , Russell Rousseau
Published: September 2023

This research investigates the multifaceted relationship between socio-economic factors and community mental health. The aim is to discern the influence of income levels, social stigma, and access to mental health services on the mental well-being of individuals within our society. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys, interviews, secondary data collection, and qualitative data analysis. A diverse sample of participants from various socio-economic backgrounds was included to capture a comprehensive perspective on the subject. The research reveals that socio-economic factors significantly affect mental health outcomes. Individuals with lower income levels experience higher levels of anxiety. Moreover, social stigma surrounding mental health issues negatively impacts an individual's quality of life. Limited access to mental health services is associated with increased rates of depression. This study underscores the vital importance of addressing socio-economic disparities in mental health. It advocates for the reduction of social stigma, the enhancement of mental health care availability, and policies that support financially vulnerable individuals and families. The findings contribute to our understanding of the intricate interplay between socio-economic factors and community mental health, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to mental well-being in our society

Deinstytucjonalizacja jako ruch społeczny
Authors: Rakusa-Suszczewski Mikołaj
Published: September 2023

The article describes the history of the idea and phenomenon of deinstitutionalisation, that is, the process of transforming care institutions, in particular transferring their competences to local communities. These processes are illustrated using examples from the United States and Europe, discussions that have been going on there for decades, and the experiments and solutions being implemented in those regions. In this study, however, the phenomenon of deinstitutionalisation goes beyond a purely technical problem related to a change in the concept of managing the fate of people who are ill, disabled or affected by various social problems, such as homelessness. Here, deinstitutionalisation is above all a manifestation of the activities of social actors; that is, a social movement. The movement is not so much of a consensual nature, focused on the rationalisation of aid, as it is an ethical and even a conflict-oriented movement, in other words, a ‘new social movement’. The movement : (1) is represented by specific social actors: organisations and their leaders; (2) has its resources, values and identity to lobby for new legislation, implementation of new care and health practices, as well as shaping political and social attitudes in this sector; and, finally, (3) performs evaluative and critical functions, and is, therefore, a kind of ‘epistemic community’ that disseminated certain knowledge and demanded the implementation of the resulting practices.
O polskiej historiografii ludobójstwa Ormian. Perspektywa krytyczna w świetle międzynarodowego stanu badań. Część I
Authors: Krzysztan Bartłomiej
Published: September 2023

The Armenian Genocide, which took place from 1915 to 1917, is one of the most crucial events defining the character of both the final period of the Ottoman Empire and the southern front of World War I. It is also a core identity reference for Armenians and a matter of memory dispute with the Turkish Republic. Since the 1970s, it has been a relevant research space for historians. Surprisingly, in Polish historiography, the subject is only marginally addressed, and its bibliography is puzzlingly limited. The article aims to discuss the Polish historiography of the Armenian Genocide in the broader context of world research. The description of the number of Polish inputs devoted to the Armenian Genocide provides background for the main research problem – a reflection on the shape of genocide narratives created by Polish historians. This makes it possible to indicate the discursive structures that determine the historical narratives on the Armenian Genocide. Hypothetically, they result from both the time in which they were created and the authors’ axiology and worldview. The article is divided into two parts. The first, in addition to the introduction and description of the state of research, focuses on the interpretation of all Polish historical texts concerning the issue of the Armenian Genocide. A critical analysis is devoted to both compact monographs and broader historical works in which reference is made to the issue of the genocide, above all in the context of the historiography of the declining period of the Ottoman Empire.
Acoustic diode realized by asymmetric filter
Authors: Wang Ru-Yang , Rong Qia , Gong Xun
Published: September 2023

Devices of one-way transport for acoustic waves are called acoustic diodes. They are able to promote the advancement of noise isolation, acoustic communication, and acoustic signal processing. A lot of designs of acoustic diodes based on various mechanisms have been given. However, most designs have problems of one kind or another, such as low efficiency, instability, bulky volume, complex structure, frequency change, waveform distortion, and so on. An asymmetric acoustic filter with only three layers is proposed in this work. The total length of the acoustic diode is less than half the wavelength. Its backward transmission is almost completely stopped. For the forward transmission, the amplitude of the transmitted wave is almost proportional to the driving voltage. This characteristic is better than its electronic counterpart which is often annoyed by the unavoidable nonlinearity at high driving voltage. A simple, compact, stable, broadband, frequency-preserved, highly efficient, linear acoustic diode is realized.

Integrating exosuit capabilities into clothing to make back relief accessible to workers unserved by existing exoskeletons: design and preliminary evaluation
Authors: Wolf Derek , Fine Shimra , Ice Chad , Slaughter Paul , Rodzak Katherine , Zelik Karl
Published: September 2023

Background: Occupational exos (rigid exoskeletons and soft exosuits) are emerging technologies designed to reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Existing occupational exos are standalone accessories worn on top of a user’s clothing. 

Purpose: Our objective was to test and verify that back-assist exosuit capabilities could be integrated into regular clothing in an effective and usable manner, which could make musculoskeletal relief accessible to more workers.

Methods: We redesigned a previously validated accessory exosuit so it could integrate into a standard-issue U.S. Army uniform. The uniform-integrated exosuit prototype was low-profile (protruding <30 mm from the body), lightweight (adding 800 grams to the uniform), and could be donned/doffed like normal clothing. We verified the effectiveness and usability of the prototype in lab testing (N=5) and in a case study (N=1) with a U.S. Army Soldier.

Results: In lab testing (N=5), this exosuit provided 18-27 Nm of torque about the low back during lifting. Assistance could be engaged or disengaged one-handed in about half a second, and the exosuit did not restrict a user’s natural range of motion or cause discomfort. A case study (N=1) with a Soldier performing operationally relevant tasks demonstrated that this type of uniform-integrated exosuit may be well-suited for workers with duties that involve driving in vehicles and intermittent lifting. 

Conclusions: This work verified that integrating back-assist exosuit capabilities into standard workwear can be effective and usable. The integration resulted in little change to the form factor, weight, range of motion, or comfort of the standard daily uniform while adding lifting assistance. This new sub-class of exosuit could be beneficial to workers who alternate between bending, lifting, and sitting tasks, or to those in customer- or patient-facing jobs where it is important for wearable technology to be discreet.
