Factors associated with symptom severity in stress-induced exhaustion disorder: cohort characterization and cross-sectional correlations
Authors: Cully Sean , Hatinova Klara , van de Leur Jakob Clason , Björnsdotter Malin
Published: February 2025

Chronic stress-related conditions such as clinical burnout and exhaustion disorder (ED), constitute a significant and growing individual and societal burden. Still, the long-term interactions between symptom severity and key risk factors, including brain structure and function, remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we initiated the PROMUS project, a large-scale longitudinal brain imaging study of 350 participants on sick leave for ED. Here, we report baseline cohort (n=300) characteristics and cross-sectional associations between burnout and exhaustion symptoms, measured using the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ) and Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS), and demographic, occupational, psychiatric, psychological, and lifestyle factors assessed using online questionnaires. Our findings revealed significant associations between symptom severity and multiple factors, most notably depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, quality of life, dissociation, psychological inflexibility, intolerance of uncertainty, self-efficacy, alexithymia, trauma, gratitude, educational background, emotional stability, household demands, ADHD symptoms, autistic traits, perfectionism, and physical activity. These findings support previous research linking persistent stress conditions to a spectrum of demographic, occupational, psychiatric, psychological, and lifestyle measures. The results also add to the understanding of targetable ED symptoms and risk factors and set the direction for brain imaging analyses and longitudinal assessments in this cohort.

Published: February 2025

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has long been associated with economic and social decision-making in neuroimaging studies. Several debates question whether different ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) and dorsomedial PFC (dmPFC) regions have specific functions or whether there is a gradient supporting social and non-social cognition. Here, we tested an unusually large sample of rare participants with focal damage to mPFC (N = 33), individuals with lesions elsewhere (N = 17), and healthy controls (N = 71) (total N = 121). Participants completed a temporal discounting task to estimate their baseline discounting preferences before learning the preferences of two other people, one who was more temporally impulsive and one more patient. We used Bayesian computational models to estimate baseline discounting and susceptibility to social influence after learning others’ economic preferences. mPFC damage increased susceptibility to impulsive social influence compared to healthy controls and increased overall susceptibility to social influence compared to those with lesions elsewhere. Importantly, voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) of computational parameters showed that this heightened susceptibility to social influence was attributed specifically to damage to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC, area 9; permutationbased threshold free cluster enhancement (TFCE) p < 0.025). In contrast, lesions in the vmPFC (areas 13 and 25) and ventral striatum were associated with a preference for seeking more immediate rewards (permutation-based TFCE p < 0.05). We show that the dmPFC is causally implicated in susceptibility to social influence, with distinct ventral portions of mPFC involved in temporal discounting. These findings provide causal evidence for sub-regions of the mPFC underpinning fundamental social and cognitive processes.
Tokenization changes meaning in large language models: Evidence from Chinese
Authors: Haslett David A.
Published: February 2025

Large language models segment many words into multiple tokens, and there is mixed evidence as to whether tokenization affects how state-of-the-art models represent meanings. Chinese characters present an opportunity to investigate this issue: They contain semantic radicals, which often convey useful information; characters with the same semantic radical tend to begin with the same one or two bytes (when using UTF-8 encodings); and tokens are common strings of bytes, so characters with the same radical often begin with the same token. This study asked GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Llama 3 whether characters contain the same semantic radical, elicited semantic similarity ratings, and conducted odd-one-out tasks (i.e., which character is not like the others). In all cases, misalignment between tokens and radicals systematically corrupted representations of Chinese characters. In experiments comparing characters represented by single tokens to multi-token characters, the models were less accurate for single-token characters, which suggests that segmenting words into fewer, longer tokens obscures valuable information in word form and will not resolve the problems introduced by tokenization. In experiments with twelve European languages, misalignment between tokens and suffixes systematically corrupted categorization of words by all three models, which suggests that the tendency to treat malformed tokens like linguistic units is pervasive.
Impact of the presence or absence of dancing in festivals on people’s sense of community
Authors: Kawase Satoshi , Eguchi Kei
Published: February 2025

Moving together or attending festivals are reported to foster social bonding. However, it remains unclear whether festivals with and without dancing affect individuals’ social bonds and sense of community. Research does not mention whether lasting effects exist over time even when community festivals are held only a limited number of times a year. To address this issue, this study examines the impact of dancing at local festivals on individuals’ sense of community. Accordingly, an online survey was conducted a few months after a community festival, and participants responded three scales: the Brief Sense of Community Scale, Community Consciousness Scale, and UCLA Loneliness Scale. The survey found that (1) the participants who attended and danced at a festival with dancing showed a higher sense of community and lower loneliness level than those who did not dance or those who attended a festival without dancing. (2) These tendencies were not influenced by previous festival attendance patterns. (3) Further, these tendencies were not related to the individuals’ willingness to attend festivals. These results suggest that dancing at festivals, rather than attending festivals without dancing, can promote a sense of community.
Frequency Over Semantic Richness: word recognition in non-native English speakers
Authors: Dymarska Agata
Published: February 2025

Recognition of a word and its meaning benefits from the sensorimotor information about concepts. However, this phenomenon has been underexplored in second language (L2) speakers who may rely on more “shallow” representations. Using a megastudy dataset, we investigate how sensorimotor strength affects L1 and L2 word recognition performance. Bayesian hierarchical regressions revealed that variables associated with physical sensations (interoceptive strength, motor action) and communication experience (head or mouth movement, auditory strength) produced strong effects in both groups. On the other hand, variables associated with concrete objects (visual, haptic experience) and with taste/smell (olfactory, gustatory experience) influenced L1 word recognition performance to a larger extent than in L2. In L2, reliance on semantic information during word recognition is reduced, with stronger effects of lexical variables compared to L1. The findings provide implications for understanding second language processing mechanisms and demonstrate the usefulness of megastudy datasets in investigating L2 conceptual representations.
The neuroeconomics of social inﬂuence and contagion
Authors: Su Zhilin , Lockwood Patricia
Published: February 2025

People often adjust their behaviours and preferences to align with others, a phenomenon termed social inﬂuence or social contagion. Social inﬂuence can have a profound effect on our economic preferences, with important implications for ﬁnancial decision-making and making rational choices. Here we review recent ﬁndings in neuroeconomics, elucidating the psychological, computational, and neural mechanisms that underpin social inﬂuence during value-based decision-making. We examine how others’ decisions can shift our own economic preferences, regarding risk-taking, temporal discounting, effort discounting, and moral preferences. Additionally, we discuss the lifespan similarities and differences in susceptibility to social inﬂuence. Finally, we cover studies revealing the neural basis of susceptibility to social inﬂuence and highlight key common brain areas across studies that could underpin these effects. We end by considering the implications of strong evidence of susceptibility to social inﬂuence on economic preferences, the challenges and opportunities of this inﬂuence and how future studies could harness it to create positive changes across the lifespan.

Published: February 2025

Emotion regulation difficulties are implicated as a risk factor for suicidal thoughts, yet little is known about how adults with suicidal thoughts regulate emotions in daily life or which deficits are specific to suicidality versus shared across psychopathology. In two Ecological Momentary Assessment studies (N1=396; N2=195, recruited online), we compared adults with current suicidal thoughts to those with past or no suicidal history (Study 1) and to psychiatric and healthy controls (Study 2). Participants with current (vs. past) suicidal thoughts reported greater substance-use and self-injury to regulate emotions (Study 1). Compared to psychiatric controls, participants with suicidal thoughts reported higher regulatory effort and substance-use, while compared to healthy controls, they additionally reported greater distraction, rumination, and lower regulatory success (Study 2). Self-injury and substance-use uniquely predicted momentary suicidal thinking (Study 2). Findings highlight substance-use, self-injury, and heightened regulatory effort as potentially distinct emotion regulation processes associated with suicidal thoughts.

People differ in their levels of impulsivity and patience, and these preferences are heavily influenced by others. Previous research suggests that susceptibility to social influence may vary with age, but the mechanisms and whether people are more influenced by patience or impulsivity remain unknown. Here, using a delegated inter-temporal choice task and Bayesian computational models, we tested susceptibility to social influence in young (aged 18-36, N=76) and older (aged 60-80, N=78) adults. Participants completed a temporal discounting task and then learnt the preferences of two other people (one more impulsive and one more patient) before making their choices again. We used the signed Kullback-Leibler divergence to quantify the magnitude and direction of social influence. We found that, compared to young adults, older adults were relatively more susceptible to impulsive social influence. Factor analyses showed that older adults with higher self-reported levels of affective empathy and emotional motivation were particularly susceptible to impulsive influence. Importantly, older and young adults showed similar learning accuracy about others’ preferences, and their baseline impulsivity did not differ. Together, these findings suggest highly affectively empathetic and emotionally motivated older adults may be at higher risk for impulsive decisions, due to their susceptibility to social influence.

PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL OF SEDIMENTS FROM THE TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC WASTEWATER
Authors: Petrova Zh.O. , Badekha A.V.
Published: February 2025

Treatment of wastewater (filtrates) of solid waste landfills is one of the most acute problems of national importance. Filtrates belong to highly polluted, ecologically dangerous wastewater, as they are characterized by a high content of salts (up to 25,000mg/dm3) and organic substances (chemical oxygen absorption (COD) – 13,000 – 16,000 mg O/dm3). As a rule, filtrates are not cleaned in Ukraine today, and they end up in surface and underground waters without any treatment, which causes enormous damage to the environment.
In the industrially developed countries of the world, the reverse osmosis method is mainly used for the purification of filtrates. Thus, water purification by reverse osmosis requires 25-30% less energy than other methods. In addition, reverse osmosis provides a high degree of water purification from most types of pollution. At the same time, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of reverse osmosis is largely determined by the adequate preliminary preparation of the filtrate, which prevents contamination of the membranes. In many cases, this is not followed in order to save money when cleaning filtrates.
In this regard, the purpose of this work is to develop a technology for complex processing of filtrates based on membrane methods to obtain clean water that meets the standards of the standard for discharge into open water bodies, and valuable substances that are suitable for industrial use.

The influence on plant development of sediment components or direct irrigation of the soil with landfill drainage wastewater showed that the introduction of alkaline sediment with a high salt content into the soil has a negative effect on plant growth, although it stimulates the process of grain germination.
In addition, the high content of toxic substances indicates the impracticality of introducing such sediment into the soil. From an ecological and economic point of view, it is rational to obtain calcium oxide from sediment by a thermal method, which can be reused at the stage of treatment of drainage wastewater with reagents.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING THE HYDROGEN BY USING SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE
Authors: Troshen'kin B.A. , Kravchenko O.V. , Troshen'kin V.B.
Published: February 2025

The process of hydrogen obtaining by hydrolysis of a suspension of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in mineral oil has been developed, which, in combination with fuel cells, is intended for use in power plants of unmanned aerial vehicles (UMAVs). The created process allows to avoid a possible UMAVs explosion in the event of using the previously developed sodium borohydride hydrolysis process stabilized with caustic soda solution.
A comparison of the characteristics of these two technological processes is given.
For the alkaline process during the use of a capacitive reactor, the calculation method is made taking into account the calculation sequence of evaporators with natural circulation, thermodynamic and kinetic patterns of reactions, as well as test data of experimental reactors.
For NaBH4 oil suspension hydrolysis devices, a method recommended by the standards for calculating film evaporators is proposed.
The replacement of the capacitive reactor and related alkaline systems with a film device is justified, which will allow to increase the controllability of the UMAVs power plant and improve the heat release into the environment. The film apparatus provides a two to three times increase in the intensity of heat and mass transfer between phases.
The kinetics of the process of interaction of NaBH4 oil suspension with water was studied in a volume reactor 1,13×10–3 m3 (inner diameter 72×10–3 m3, length 0,24 m).
The use of NaBH4 oil suspensions for obtaining hydrogen allows to eliminate overheating and organize a uniform process. At the same time, it is possible to increase efficiency by reducing hydrogen losses during storage and eliminating NaBH4. The oil is regenerated and reused. The study of the hydrolysis of NaBH4 oil suspensions was carried out within the limits of changing the parameters corresponding to the operating modes of autonomous installations.
It is shown that NaBH4/oil mass ratios of 1:8 and 1:5 are optimal. 15% suspension of NaBH4 (ratio 1:5) is more viscous, therefore, 10% suspension of NaBH4 (ratio 1:8) is recommended for use.

Published: February 2025

This work considers the important problem of material losses of natural gas during its transportation and distribution. It is shown that only normative losses of gas during its transportation in Ukraine amount to about 0.9 billion cubic meters per year. Possible places of depressurization of the pipeline during gas transportation and at the gas distribution point have been determined. The results of the numerical analysis of gas volume loss due to the leakiness of the threaded connection are given on a specific example.The graphical and analytical dependence of the error of a typical flow meter on the change in gas pressure was established, and the economic component of volumetric losses due to leaky connections through which gas leakage occurs was evaluated.
Conclusions

Technological losses of natural gas during its transportation and distribution amount to approximately 0.9 billion m3 of gas per year. Material losses of gas due to leaky connections and violations of the tightness of pipelines and gas distribution points require calculations.
Formulated causes of leak tightness and possible places of gas leakage during operation of the gas distribution network.
It is noted that the gas leak has a harmful effect on the environment and a high explosion and fire hazard.
The algorithm for calculating volumetric gas losses due to the leakiness of the threaded connection is given. As a result of the analysis, the impact of gas losses on the economic component was considered, it was established that 0.422 cubic meters of gas is lost per day through one threaded connection.
It is shown how a gas leak can be detected using a gas meter. Graphical analytical dependences of pressure on gas losses are presented, from which it follows that the flow meter does not record gas leakage losses of less than 2.0 m3/day.
THE EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT OF PART OF THE COAL DUST BY PYROLYSIS GASES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE BOILER TPP 312 DURING ITS OPERATION AT LOW LOADS
Authors: Kobzar S.G. , Khalatov A.A.
Published: February 2025

The paper was consider the influence of the replacement of part of coal dust by pyrolysis gases on ecological and technological operational parameters of TPP 312 boiler during its operation at low loads. The following values of boiler loads 210, 190, 170 and 150 MW were taken into account. The part of biomass pyrolysis products in the heat balance of the boiler was taken in 10 and 20%.
It was found that when feeding pyrolysis products of biomass with primary air evenly through all burners in operation, there is an increase in heat flow through the bottom of the furnace and it is possible to expand the lower limit of the boiler to a load of 170 MWe.
The substitution of coal for biomass pyrolysis products does not reduce the generation of nitrogen oxides. On the contrary, there is a slight increase in the emission of nitrogen oxides with an increase in the part of pyrolysis gases for boilers loads of 210…170 MWe.
THERMAL HYDRAULIC EFFICIENCY OF ONE AND TWO-ROW BUNCH OF CYLINDERS WITH A SPIRAL GROOVE ON THE OUTER SURFACE WITH TRANSVERSE FLOW

Published: February 2025

The results of experimental study of thermohydraulic performance of a single- and double-row of bundle of round cylinders with screw groove on the external surface at the air cross-flow are presented. The analysis was performed at the Reynolds number range from 6800 to 12000. For a single-row bundle the Reynolds Analogy Factor is more than unity for all Reynolds numbers studied, while for the double-row of cylinders it is over the inity at ReD<10000. The high thermohydraulic performance is due to the formation of the «interwined vortex structures» in the back cylinder zone. The obtained results show that when using heat exchange surfaces with spiral grooves it is necessary to prefer a beam of cylinders with an asymmetric arrangement of grooves. If the positions of the cylinders with grooves on their surface are identical, vortices from adjacent cylinders may interfere with each other in small steps of their placement in the beam. This may be the reason for the advantage of heat transfer in cylindrical surfaces with one-west grooves over similar surfaces with two-west.

ANALYSIS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THE USE OF SOLID BIOFUELS IN ENERGY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Radchenko S.V.
Published: February 2025

The data of the biomass energy potential in Ukraine and energy consumption from energy of biofuels and wastes are given in the article. The goals of increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the final consumption volume, which are determined in the draft National Renewable Energy Development Action Plan until 2030, are shown. It is outlined what steps are proposed by the state to stimulate of thermal energy production from renewable sources in the field of heat supply and to provide these generating capacities by biofuel. The contribution to the energy potential of such types of biomass as wood and agricultural residues is considered. The features of wood fuel storage as firewood or wood chips and possibilities of agricultural waste harvesting are analyzed. It has been proven that the current level of energy consumption from energy of biofuels and wastes can be increased at least double only by agricultural residues using. The production of wood chips from logging residues which can increase the current volume of wood fuel harvesting by another 30...40%, is determined as promising direction for Ukraine. Now this potential is almost not used due to the low level of mechanization of logging processes and the lack of practice of logging residues harvesting. The efficiency of harvesting the non-grain part of the corn and sunflower was analyzed and it was concluded that the costs for this process significantly depend on the method of harvesting and adaptation of the used equipment to the type of biomass and its features.

An urgent task at the current level of society's development is to preserve natural resources and the environment from pollution caused by human activity. It is necessary to preserve and increase the capacity of water and land recycling and reuse systems, develop waste-free and resource-saving technologies.
The accumulated sludge deposits from wastewater treatment plants in large cities are outdated, having lost most of their nutrients, become too mineralized and practically unsuitable for direct use as fertilizers.
The research is devoted to the development of a unified approach to the efficient processing of sludge sediments as fuel with the addition of flammable fillers such as milled peat and biomass.
The aim of the study was to conduct research on drying composite raw materials based on obsolete sludge deposits and theoretical analysis of the heat and mass transfer process.
The kinetics of the drying process of composite raw materials on an experimental convective drying bench with automatic data acquisition was studied. The studies show that at a coolant temperature of 80 °C, the drying time increases by about 1.4 times compared to 120 °C.
The numerical simulation of convective drying of composite pellets showed that this model generally satisfactorily describes the nature of the change in the temperature in the center of the pellet and its moisture content over time during convective drying. In general, it can be noted that the considered model can be used for an approximate preliminary assessment of the drying time of a pellet made on a screw mechanical device in the proportion of 50% silt and 50% peat.
DISCRETE PULSE INPUT OF ENERGY IS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD OF REMOVING CALCIUM HYDROCARBONATE AND REDUCING WATER HARDNESS

Published: February 2025

For municipal water supply systems, industrial enterprises, and thermal plants, the content of mineral impurities in water is regulated, which necessitates the use of technologies for their removal.
The object of study was water from an artesian well, which was treated on a rotor-pulsation apparatus that implements the principle of discrete-pulse energy input in an aeration-oxidizing setup of rotor type.
The effect of the principle of discrete-pulse energy input on the process of extracting calcium bicar- bonate from water to reduce its hardness is studied.
It was determined that when treating water in the rotor-pulsation apparatus without adding ammonium hydroxide solution, it is possible to reduce the calcium ions concentration from 77,1 to 57,1 mg/L, and the total hardness from 13,4 to 7,6 mmol/L. It has been proven that the addition of 0,1 wt.% ammonium hydroxide to the treated water and treatment in the rotor-pulsation apparatus at the flow shear rate of 40·103 s-1 during 10 cycles allows for to reduce in the calcium ions concentration by 99,3 % and to reduce the total hardness to 0,16 mmol/L.
This is explained by the formation of a water-air mixture, which, passing through the rotor-pulsation apparatus, is affected by shock waves, interphase turbulence, microcavitation, and vortices, which leads to an increase in the rate of mass transfer of oxygen from the gas phase to the liquid and its trans- portation by the liquid. At the same time, the structure of water changes with the formation of free hydrogen bonds, which causes its increased activity and reactive capacity.
Water treatment according to the principle discrete-pulse energy input in the rotor-pulsation apparatus is recommended for use in the implementation of a number of chemical softening methods to reduce the consumption of reagents and increase the degree of purification.

Alcohol use is a feature of Canadian society, as is alcoholism, which is currently defined in the DSM-5 as alcohol use disorder (AUD). While statistics may help estimate quantitative AUD data such as disease and all-cause mortality as well as the costs of AUD on government resources, they cannot convey the qualitative suffering AUD inflicts on users, users’ family and friends, and even strangers – i.e., innocent bystanders still lose their lives to drunk drivers. The intent of this essay is to weave some AUD data into a non-fiction story that relies heavily on anecdotes from my own personal struggle with AUD, as well as insights gleaned from my family, friends, and coworkers. If statistics cannot sway others away from substance abuse, maybe putting a few faces on a few of those numbers can.

Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE

Blister aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) have high associated mortality rates and are challenging due to their friable wall and poorly defined neck. Microsurgical and endovascular treatment options have been suggested, including bypass of the parent vessel to exclude the aneurysm. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of microsurgical versus endovascular interventions. Additionally, for patients treated with open surgery, the outcomes of bypass were compared to nonbypass techniques.

METHODS

Three databases were systematically queried for primary studies comparing microsurgery to endovascular therapy and assessing bypass versus nonbypass treatment modalities for blister aneurysms of the ICA. All relevant studies published between 2000 and 2023 were eligible for inclusion. All articles were screened against title and abstract by 2 authors, as were those eligible for full-text assessment. Ultimately, relevant data from all included studies were pooled for meta-analysis in which the Mantel-Haenszel method with random-effects modeling was used.

RESULTS

Among the 504 cases reported across 24 studies, 182 (35.1%) blister aneurysms of the ICA were surgically treated, whereas 337 (64.9%) involved endovascular treatment. There were 235 (46.6%) female patients in the cohort. Functional outcomes were comparable between groups, with 83% of surgically treated patients and 85% of endovascularly treated patients achieving a favorable outcome (p > 0.05). Among the 7 studies (178 patients) comparing bypass to nonbypass microsurgery, rates of postoperative bleeding, ischemic infarct, vasospasm, recurrence, favorable outcomes, and mortality were comparable for bypass (n = 54, 30.3%) and nonbypass groups (n = 124, 69.7%).

CONCLUSIONS

Blister aneurysms of the ICA are rare intracranial aneurysms that are difficult to treat with microsurgical and endovascular techniques. Considering only patients treated with open surgery, there appears to be no significant difference in complication profile or functional outcomes between patients undergoing bypass or alternative microsurgical techniques. However, it must be noted that the complex nature of bypass procedures means that much of the data granularity is lost on meta-analysis, suggesting that additional investigations comparing bypass to other open microsurgical techniques may be merited. Similarly, future studies should determine the limitations of dual antiplatelet therapy in endovascular treatment and the efficacy of different numbers and types of overlapping, flow-diverting devices.
