How have people been coping during the COVID-19 pandemic? Patterns and predictors of coping strategies amongst 26,580 UK adults
Authors: Fluharty Meg , Fancourt Daisy
Published: August 2020

Individuals face increased psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it’s unknown whether choice of coping styles are influenced by COVID-19 in addition to known predictors. Data from 26,580 UK adults in the UCL COVID-19 Social Study were analysed from 12/4/2020 15/5/2020. Regression models were used to identify predictors of coping styles (problem focused, emotion-focused, avoidant, and socially-supported): model 1 included demographic and socio-economic variables, model 2 additionally included psychosocial factors, and model 3 further included experience of specific adverse worries or events. The demographic, socioeconomic, and psychosocial predictors of coping align with usual predictors of coping styles not occurring during a pandemic. However, even when controlling for the wide range of these previously known predictors specific adversities were associated with use of specific strategies. Experience of worries about finances, basic needs, and events related to Covid-19 were associated with a range of strategies, while experience of financial adversities was associated with problem-focused, emotion-focused and avoidant coping. There were no associations between coping styles and experiencing challenges in meeting basic needs, but Covid-19 related adversities were associated with a lower use of socially-supported coping.This paper demonstrates that there are not only demographic and social predictors of coping styles during the COVID-19 pandemic, but specific adversities are related to the ways that adults cope. Furthermore, this study identifies groups at risk of more avoidant coping mechanisms which may be targeted for supportive interventions.

Published: August 2020

BACKGROUNDTraditionally, during crises the number of new blood donors increases. However, the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created additional barriers to donate due to governmental prevention measures and increased personal health risks. In this report, we examined how the pandemic affected new donor registrations in the Netherlands, especially among groups with higher risk profiles for severe COVID-19. Additionally, we explored the role of media for blood donation and new donor registrations.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSWe analyzed new donor registrations and attention for blood donation in newspapers and on social media from January until May 2020, in comparison to the same period in 2017 to 2019.RESULTSAfter the introduction of nationwide prevention measures, several peaks in new donor registrations occurred, which coincided with peaks in media attention. Interestingly, people with a higher risk profile for COVID-19 (e.g. due to age or region of residence) were overrepresented among new registrants.DISCUSSIONIn sum, the first peak of the current pandemic has led to increased new blood donor registrations, despite the associated increased health risks. Time and future studies will have to tell whether these new donors are one-off ‘pandemic’ donors or if they will become regular, loyal donors.
Rock and roll: The influence of bicycle lean on the mechanics of non-seated cycling
Authors: Wilkinson Ross D. , Cresswell Andrew G. , Lichtwark Glen A.
Published: August 2020

When riding off the saddle during climbing and sprinting, cyclists appear to coordinate the rhythmic, vertical oscillations of their centre of mass (CoM) with the side-to-side lean of the bicycle. Is the coordination of these two motions merely a stability requirement, or could it also be a strategy to more effectively generate crank power? Here we combined a kinematic and kinetic approach to understand how different constraints on bicycle lean influence CoM movement and limb mechanics during non-seated cycling. Ten participants cycled in a non-seated posture at a power output of $5\ W\cdot kg^{-1}$ and a cadence of 70 rpm under three bicycle lean conditions: unconstrained on rollers (Unconstrained), under instruction to self-restrict bicycle lean on rollers (Self-Restricted) and constrained in a bicycle trainer (Trainer). Bicycle lean angle in the Unconstrained condition was greater than Self-Restricted and in the Trainer. Vertical CoM displacement, peak vertical crank force, and peak instantaneous crank power in the Unconstrained condition were greater than Self-Restricted but similar to in the Trainer. The amount and rate of energy lost and gained by the rider's CoM in the Unconstrained condition was greater than Self-restricted but similar to in the Trainer. The differences in joint power contributions to total joint power (hip, knee, ankle, and upper body) between conditions were inconclusive. We interpret these results as evidence bicycle lean plays an important role in facilitating the production of high crank force and power output during non-seated cycling by allowing a greater non-muscular contribution to crank power.

Published: August 2020

Sacred groves are distinctive examples of biotic components as genetic resources being preserved in situ and serve as secure heavens for many endangered and endemic taxa. From this point of view, the biological spectrum, leaf spectrum and conservation status of the current sacred grove vegetation, SBT (Swarga Bauri Than) in Jhargram district of West Bengal, India, have been studied. The area's floristic study revealed that SBT’s angiosperms were varied and consisted of 307 species belonging to 249 genera, distributed under 79 families of 36 orders as per APG IV. Fabales (12.05%) and Fabaceae (11.73%) are the dominant order and family in terms of species wealth. Biological spectrum indicates that the region enjoys “thero-chamae-cryptophytic” type of phytoclimate. With respect to the spectrum of the leaf size, mesophyll (14.05%) was found to be high followed by notophyll (7.84%), microphyll (7.19%), macrophyll (7.84%), nanophyll (6.86%), leptophyll (6.21%), and megaphyll (2.29%). The study area, being a sacred grove, it has a comparatively undisturbed status, and the protection of germplasm in the grove is based on traditional belief in the social system.

Tension between Fast and Slow Mobilities
Authors: Pelgrims Claire
Published: August 2020

This article analyzes the dialectic of fast and slow mobilities as a continuous tension, since the mid-twentieth century, characterized by three evolutions of the functional, phenomenological, and social dimensions of mobility infrastructure and practices in Brussels, Belgium. It is based on the content analysis of diverse “embodiments” of social imaginaries: mobility infrastructures, narratives and sensory-motor behaviors, and images, movies, and photographs. It casts light on the great triple evolution of (1) the scale of the designed city; (2) the limits between spaces devoted to speed, slowness, and overlaps; and (3) the promoted aesthetics in terms of atmospheres and urban experience. These developments strongly relate to the changing meaning of slow and fast mobilities and to a broader change in the societal relationship to space and time.
Whose Business Is Road Safety?
Authors: Milor Alice
Published: August 2020

Most research into road safety in Europe has focused chiefly on public action, without closely examining the role of car manufacturers or their coordination with public initiatives. This article explores how manufacturers transitioned from a fragmented conception of road safety in the 1970s—with vehicles being the responsibility of manufacturers, and prevention and roads that of institutions—to an increasingly integrated approach in the twenty-first century. The study uses industry archives to present manufacturer strategies from 1972 onward, which at first exclusively focused on vehicle safety standards. After 1986, the European Year of Road Safety, manufacturers’ official discourse increasingly stressed user education, as opposed to technical improvements to the product. Th is article will use the French case, as well as a more European approach to the automobile lobby in Brussels, to chart the gradual emergence of an integrated approach to safety combining the vehicle, infrastructure, and user behavior.
Everyday Carry for Mobile Individuals
Authors: Kellerman Aharon
Published: August 2020

Everyday carry (EDC) is a collection of items carried routinely by people, in pockets, on wrists, or in bags. This initial article on EDC attempts to portray and interpret mobility-related EDC, which mediates between moving persons and their devices or activities. Our discussion begins with a general introduction of EDC, presented as utilities and preparedness accessories, followed by historical and functional expositions of four routinely carried mobility items: home keys, car keys, watches, and smartphones. These four items have been developed at different times and places, thus responding to varying human needs. Then, mobility-related EDC items are interpreted from two perspectives: everyday life, noting their unique use by owners, and mobility, noting the instant access to mobility that they facilitate, thus turning potential mobilities into practiced ones.

Frost resistance of flexible pavements
Authors: Moiseenko R. P. , Pushkaryova G. V. , Kucyia I. Z.
Published: August 2020

The article shows that the algorithm used in the road design standard and national prestandard for calculating the frost resistance of flexible pavements has errors. The analysis is carried in terms of the probability theory. Using the moments method, the problem of frost resistance of flexible pavements is solved. The general calculation allows evaluating particular options. It is proven that the algorithm proposed by the road design standard gives a result with a 0.5 probability, which cannot be acceptable. The proposed algorithm is presented in the form of equation of the frost resistance. From this equation, with an allowable value of heaving and 0.95 probability, the soil heaving is determined, which is always less than the allowable value. The known soil heaving allows to determine the thickness of the anti-frost heavy course, which is much greater than the thickness determined by algorithms proposed by the road design standard and national prestandard. Technically, the material is overspent, but the comparison is made with the error-containing algorithm. Therefore, this comparison cannot be correct. It is recommended to replace algorithms proposed by the road design standard and national prestandard with the algorithm proposed in this article.

Artykuł omawia zakres i sposoby zastosowania sztucznej inteligencji w pozasądowym rozwiązywaniu sporów cywilnym. Autorka poddaje analizie obszary, w których AI może znaleźć zastosowanie, począwszy od gromadzenia i przetwarzania danych na potrzeby procesu decyzyjnego, poprzez wspieranie mediatorów (koncyliatorów) albo arbitrów w toku postępowania, aż po rolę o wysokim stopniu samodzielności, odnoszącą się do proponowania stronom możliwych rozwiązań w toku postępowań o charakterze koncyliacyjnym, a nawet rozstrzygania sporów poprzez wydanie wiążącego strony orzeczenia w arbitrażu. W opracowaniu wskazano nie tylko szanse związane z uzupełniającą rolą AI wobec działania człowieka w tym obszarze, ale również problemy i zagrożenia dotyczące przede wszystkim słabości AI w zakresie analizy ludzkich zachowań i niuansów związanych z emocjami i motywacją człowieka w sprawach o charakterze cywilnym.

Crystal violet and Safranin are dyes in Gram staining, which are carcinogenic. Alternative safe materials are needed to minimize the use of carcinogenic properties. Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) peels were the candidate of the alternative dye source because of its high anthocyanin pigment. The purpose of this study was to determine purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) peels extract as an alternative to Gentian violet in Gram staining of bacteria. Extracts obtained from purple sweet potato peels studied with varying concentrations of 50%, 60%, and 75% for 1, 3, and 5 min as a substitute for Gentian violet on Bacillus sp. The parameters observed from this study based on visual field clarity, glass slide cleanliness, contrast, bacterial shape, bacterial colour. Each extract concentration compared with a control group using Gentian violet. The results showed that optimum staining in 50% concentration for 5 min, 60% concentration for 5 min, 75% concentration for 3 min, and 5 min respectively. The present study exhibited the potency of Ipomoea batatas L. peels extract as an alternative staining agent.

Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) after myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative disorders is a high-risk category currently identified by clinical history or specific morphological and cytogenetic abnormalities. However, in the absence of these features, uncertainties remain to identify the secondary nature of some cases otherwise defined as de novo AML. To test whether a chromatin-spliceosome (CS) mutational signature might better inform the definition of the de novo AML group, we analyzed a prospective cohort of 413 newly diagnosed AML patients enrolled into a randomized clinical trial (NILG AML 02/06) and provided with accurate cytogenetic and molecular characterization. Among clinically defined de novo AML, 17.6% carried CS mutations (CS-AML) and showed clinical characteristics closer to sAML (older age, lower white blood cell counts and higher rate of multilineage dysplasia). Outcomes in this group were adverse, more similar to those of sAML as compared to de novo AML (overall survival, 30% in CS-AML and 17% in sAML vs 61% in de novo AML, P<0.0001; disease free survival, 26% in CS-AML and 22% in sAML vs 54% of de novo AML, P<0.001) and independently confirmed by multivariable analysis. Allogeneic transplant in first complete remission improved survival in both sAML and CS-AML patients. In conclusion, these findings highlight the clinical significance of identifying CS-AML for improved prognostic prediction and potential therapeutic implications.

In situ follicular neoplasia (ISFN) is the earliest morphologically identifiable precursor of follicular lymphoma (FL). Although it is genetically less complex than FL and has low risk for progression, ISFN already harbors secondary genetic alterations, in addition to the defining t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation. FL, in turn, frequently progresses to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL). By BCL2 staining of available reactive lymphoid tissue obtained at any time point in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma (BCL), we identified ten paired cases of ISFN and DLBCL/HGBL, including six de novo tumors and four tumors transformed from FL as an intermediate step, and investigated their clonal evolution using microdissection and next-generation sequencing. A clonal relationship between ISFN and aggressive BCL was established by immunoglobulin and/or BCL2 rearrangements and/or the demonstration of shared somatic mutations for all ten cases. Targeted sequencing revealed CREBBP, KMT2D, EZH2, TNFRSF14 and BCL2 as the genes most frequently mutated already in ISFN. Based on the distribution of private and shared mutations, two patterns of clonal evolution were evident. In most cases, the aggressive lymphoma, ISFN and, when present, FL revealed divergent evolution from a common progenitor, whereas linear evolution with sequential accumulation of mutations was less frequent. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time that t(14;18)+ aggressive BCL can arise from ISFN without clinically evident FL as an intermediate step and that during this progression, branched evolution is common.

Vaso-occlusive crises are the hallmark of sickle cell disease (SCD). They are believed to occur in two steps, starting with adhesion of deformable low-dense red blood cells (RBCs), or other blood cells such as neutrophils, to the wall of post-capillary venules, followed by trapping of the denser RBCs or leukocytes in the areas of adhesion because of reduced effective lumen-diameter. In SCD, RBCs are heterogeneous in terms of density, shape, deformability and surface proteins, which accounts for the differences observed in their adhesion and resistance to shear stress. Sickle RBCs exhibit abnormal adhesion to laminin mediated by Lu/BCAM protein at their surface. This adhesion is triggered by Lu/BCAM phosphorylation in reticulocytes but such phosphorylation does not occur in mature dense RBCs despite firm adhesion to laminin. In this study, we investigated the adhesive properties of sickle RBC subpopulations and addressed the molecular mechanism responsible for the increased adhesion of dense RBCs to laminin in the absence of Lu/BCAM phosphorylation. We provide evidence for the implication of oxidative stress in post-translational modifications of Lu/BCAM that impact its distribution and cis-interaction with glycophorin C at the cell surface activating its adhesive function in sickle dense RBCs.
