Background
The purpose of this study is to examine the association between physical activity and contracture in older patients confined to bed in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
Methods
Patients wore ActiGraph GT3X+ for 8 hours on their wrists, and vector magnitude (VM) counts were obtained as the amount of activity. The passive range of motion (ROM) of joints was measured. The severity of ROM restriction classi-fied, as the tertile value of the reference ROM of each joint, was scored 1–3 points. Spearman’s rank correlation coef-ficients (Rs) were used to measure the association between the VM counts per day and ROM restrictions.
Results
The sample comprised 128 patients with a mean (SD) age of 84.8 (8.8) years. The mean (SD) of VM was 84574.6 (115195.2) per day. ROM restriction was observed in most joints and movement directions. ROMs in all joints and move-ment directions, except wrist flexion and hip abduction, were significantly correlated with VM. Furthermore, the VM and ROM severity scores showed a significant negative correlation (Rs = -0.582, p < .0001).
Conclusions
A significant correlation between the physical activity and ROM restrictions indicates that a decrease in the amount of physical activity could be one of the causes of contracture.
A Preliminary Assessment of the Psychometric Properties of a New Communication Aid to Support Assessments of Financial Decision-Making Capacity in People with Aphasia
Authors: Carr Frances
Published: March 2023

Background
Financial decision-making is complex and requires an in-depth assessment. In the presence of communication disorders, like aphasia, such assessments become challenging and require the use of a dedicated communication aid. No communication aid currently exists to support financial decision-making capacity (DMC) assessments for persons with aphasia (PWA).(1) We sought to establish the validity, reliability, and feasibility of a newly constructed communication aid desigqned for this purpose.
Methods
A mixed methods study was performed, divided into three phases. Phase one was aimed at capturing current understanding of DMC and communication by community-dwelling seniors, using focus groups. The second phase involved the development of a new communication aid to assist with the assessment of financial DMC for PWA. The third phase aimed to establish the psychometric properties of this new visual communication aid.
Results
The new communication aid is a 37-page, paper-based document, with 34 picture-based questions. Due to unforeseen difficulties in participant recruitment for evaluating the communication aid, a preliminary evaluation was performed on the results from eight participants. These indicated the com-munication aid had moderate inter-rater reliability (Gwet’s AC1 kappa of 0.51 [CI 0.4362 to 0.5816, p < .000]), good internal consistency (0.76), and was usable.
Conclusions
This newly developed communication aid is one of a kind, and provides essential support for PWA requiring a financial DMC assessment, which was not previously available. Preliminary evaluation of its psychometric properties is promising; however, further validation is required to confirm its validity and reliability in the proposed sample size.
Erinnern als Überschritt
Authors: Jureit Ulrike
Published: March 2023

Historiker Koselleck als geschichtspolitischer Akteur und streitbarer Intellektueller. Im Jahr 1993 stießen die Pläne der Bundesregierung zur Neugestaltung der Neuen Wache in Berlin auf erheblichen Widerspruch. Zu den schärfsten Kritikern dieser vor allem vom damaligen Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl forcierten Umwidmung gehörte Reinhart Koselleck, der wiederholt und für seine Verhältnisse ungewöhnlich lautstark Stellung bezog. Rückblickend erweist sich diese Kontroverse als der Beginn eines öffentlichen Engagements, das man zuvor von dem Bielefelder Historiker nicht kannte. Ob Neue Wache oder Holocaust-Mahnmal – Koselleck äußerte sich fortan ebenso deutlich wie zunehmend polemisch zu den im vereinigten Deutschland verhandelten erinnerungskulturellen Großprojekten. Das Buch setzt Kosellecks geschichtspolitische Interventionen zu seiner Verzeitlichungstheorie der Moderne in Beziehung, reflektiert sie biographisch und geht zudem seiner Verhältnisbestimmung von Erfahrung und Erinnerung nach. Das Nachleben vergangener Ereignisse im Modus des Erinnerns verstand Koselleck als ein Transformationsgeschehen, das er in Anlehnung an Martin Heidegger als Überschritt begrifflich zu fassen versuchte.
Perspective Chapter: Can Natural Attenuation be Considered as an Effective Solution for Soil Remediation?
Authors: Balland-Bolou-Bi Clarisse , Brondeau Florence , Dung Jusselme My
Published: March 2023

Natural attenuation is described as a naturally occurring process, mostly in soils and also in groundwater, without human intervention, which transforms, reduces and destroys the organic and inorganic contaminants. As an eco-friendly, cost-effective and relatively simple technology, natural attenuation is widely used for the treatment of contaminated soils. However, the application of this technology must be carefully controlled and monitored not only for its efficiency and durability over time, but also for the migration of contaminants to ensure no risk to human health and ecosystems. Furthermore, the success of this technique requires a good knowledge of the type of contaminants, the physical and chemical characteristics of the soils, as well as the living actors, including plants, fauna, microorganisms and their interactions, that live in the soils to be treated and that will be involved in this process. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the most recent information regarding the principle of this technology, the role of the living actors and the interactions between plant, fauna and microorganisms, the advantages and disadvantages, and finally to discuss the efficiency of this technique in comparison with other techniques such as phytoremediation or bioremediation. In fine, we will discuss its social acceptability.
Underground Excavations Below the Water Table by the Cut-and-Cover Method
Authors: Pujades Estanislao , Jing Miao , Lu Chunhui , Jurado Anna
Published: March 2023

Most underground constructions, which are needed to improve mobility and increase available space in urban areas, require excavations that are usually deeper than the water table (e.g., for the construction of stations or underground parking lots). A frequently used technique to develop excavations under these conditions consists in combining the cut-and-cover method with a dewatering system based on deep pumping wells. Retaining walls used for the cut-and-cover method allow excavating between vertical walls and minimizes the inflow of groundwater, while deep pumping wells provide dry and stable conditions. Despite this technique is widely used, some aspects related with the presence of groundwater must be considered to avoid accidents. Dewatering systems must be properly designed to guarantee suitable conditions and to minimize the pumping settlements outside of the working area. In addition, it is required to assess the presence of defects in the retaining walls because the flow of groundwater through them may entail negative consequences. This chapter explains procedures (i) to design efficient dewatering systems considering the working conditions, the stability and the impacts generated in the vicinity of the construction, and (ii) to evaluate the state of the retaining walls by using hydrogeological tools.
Social Justice as a Dimension of University Social Responsibility
Authors: Meikle Paulette
Published: March 2023

This chapter examines social justice as an element of university social responsibility (USR). In the face of persistent structural inequality, I discuss strategies for promoting social justice as intentional university platforms. I then explore institutional philosophies on empowering agents of change for a socially just society. This includes the university supporting inclusive and equitable action for people who have been historically underserved by higher education. I posit “start at home” as a new perspective on social responsibility related to campus climate and environment for faculty, students, and staff from diverse backgrounds. Finally, I propose a university social responsibility (USR) typology for universities with a social justice dimension their mission. The method includes a literature review and a thematic analysis of diverse universities’ social justice stances and statements. Accordingly, the paper addresses three research questions. (a) How can social justice be explicitly included in Universities’ third mission policies and activities (processes and outcomes)? (b) How can universities, as change agents, help produce socially responsible students and citizens? (c) Is there a typology for social justice as social responsibility for universities to self-diagnose their position relating to the intersection of social justice, community engagement, and the shaping of fair and just future practitioners?
The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Glaucoma
Authors: Kooner Karanjit , Rehman Mahad , Suresh Sruthi , Buchanan Emily , Albdour Mohannad , Zuberi Hafsa
Published: March 2023

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting eighty million people globally and three million patients in the USA. Primary open-angle glaucoma, the most common type, is a multifactorial progressive optic nerve neurodegenerative disorder that leads to loss of optic nerve head (ONH) tissue, thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer, and corresponding visual field (VF) defects with or without elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Risk factors include older age, black or Hispanic race, elevated IOP, thin central corneal thickness, disk hemorrhage, and low ocular perfusion pressure. The two prevalent theories explaining glaucomatous damage are mechanical (elevated IOP) and vascular (compromised optic nerve perfusion). Current diagnostic methods, such as measuring IOP, VF testing, and ONH evaluation, are subjective and often unreliable. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a rapid, non-invasive imaging modality that provides 3-D, volumetric details of both the structure and vascular networks of the retina and optic nerve. Various researchers have shown that OCTA provides an accurate and objective evaluation of the retina and the optic nerve in glaucoma. This chapter describes the role of OCTA in managing patients with glaucoma.
Study of RRAM-Based Binarized Neural Networks Inference Accelerators Using an RRAM Physics-Based Compact Model
Authors: Zanotti Tommaso , Pavan Paolo , Maria Puglisi Francesco
Published: March 2023

In-memory computing hardware accelerators for binarized neural networks based on resistive RAM (RRAM) memory technologies represent a promising solution for enabling the execution of deep neural network algorithms on resource-constrained devices at the edge of the network. However, the intrinsic stochasticity and nonidealities of RRAM devices can easily lead to unreliable circuit operations if not appropriately considered during the design phase. In this chapter, analysis and design methodologies enabled by RRAM physics-based compact models of LIM and mixed-signal BNN inference accelerators are discussed. As a use case example, the UNIMORE RRAM physics-based compact model calibrated on an RRAM technology from the literature, is used to determine the performance vs. reliability trade-offs of different in-memory computing accelerators: i) a logic-in-memory accelerator based on the material implication logic, ii) a mixed-signal BNN accelerator, and iii) a hybrid accelerator enabling both computing paradigms on the same array. Finally, the performance of the three accelerators on a BNN inference task is compared and benchmarked with the state of the art.
Including the Ancient Near East as “Western Identity”: The Case of Enochic Traditions in Early Christian Literature
Authors: Livinus Augustinus Hogeterp Albert
Published: March 2023

The study of early Christianity has often been approached from the perspective of the Graeco-Roman world, with its acculturation being determined by Rome more than by Jerusalem, and by Hellenists more than by Hebrews. This teleological perspective tends to overlook settings of ancient Near Eastern traditions which remain understudied. A case in point may concern Enochic traditions. Examples range from Enoch being part of the Lucan Jesusʼs genealogy (Luke 3:23–28 at v. 37), to Enochic apocalyptic woes paralleling Lucan woes (Luke 6:24–26), to Enoch being a paradigm of deathless faith (Hebrews 11:5), and to Enochic discourse being quoted in terms of prophecy in Jude 14–15. This chapter will revisit intertextuality and interdiscursivity of early Christian literature with Enochic traditions, taking into account the Enochic writings among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The chapter then evaluates how this adds to the understanding of Christian cultural heritage in the discussion of “Western identity.”

Pequena coreografia da mulher selvagem
Authors: Dalava Lucas Almeida , Pires Antônio Donizeti
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo busca interpretar o romance Pequena coreografia do Adeus (2021), de Aline Bei, à luz da psicanálise, movimentando, para tanto, as teorias relativas à psique feminina elaboradas em Mulheres que correm com os lobos, trabalho no qual a autora, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, influenciada pelos trabalhos de C. G. Jung, explora os mitos e histórias do arquétipo da “Mulher Selvagem”. Apesar de essa ser apenas uma interpretação entre as possíveis, a obra de Estés se mostra um guia de leitura interessante, pois não apenas colabora para a compreensão de aspectos relevantes da obra de Aline Bei – à medida que a Pequena coreografia do Adeus revisita, com seu estilo tão particular, diversos elementos recorrentes na literatura –, como também oferece um olhar psicanalítico para a compreensão da autoria feminina.
crítica feminista na Pós-graduação brasileira e os ensaios de Virginia Woolf
Authors: Nogueira Nícea Helena de Almeida
Published: March 2023

Este estudo se baseia no levantamento do estado da arte em 20 teses e dissertações onde os ensaios de Virginia Woolf são considerados uma possibilidade teórica para a análise literária de autoria feminina no Brasil. Tem como fonte de consulta o catálogo on-line disponível no site da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). São trabalhos produzidos em Programas de Pós-graduação em Letras e Educação, avaliados pela Capes, em universidades de todo o país de 2014 a 2019. A maioria desses textos menciona Woolf como teórica da crítica feminista para a apreciação da narrativa e da poesia de autoras contemporâneas. Os ensaios mais citados são Um quarto só seu, de 1929, e Profissões para mulheres, de 1931. Críticas feministas mais recentes, como Elaine Showalter, Sandra Gilbert, Susan Gubar e Hélène Cixous, raramente aparecem nessas pesquisas, pois há poucas traduções de seus textos tendo, portanto, acesso mais restrito à leitura no idioma original. Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar a relevância dos ensaios de Virginia Woolf para o estudo, no Brasil, da literatura de autoria feminina, ao mesmo tempo em que esses tendem a diminuir as distâncias temporais e culturais entre o pensamento da escritora e as obras literárias estudadas.

Published: March 2023

Analysis of a long-term temporal and spatial drought conditions in Somali region was done using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Coefficient of Variation (CV) for 6 meteorological stations and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis were performed by enhancing images from Landsat 5 TM of two different years. CV was computed for Belg season, Deyr season and yearly basis. Rainfall variability for Belg and Deyr was higher than annual variability. Characterization of the temporal variation of drought using 3-months and 6-months SPI for each meteorological station were analyzed and plotted against long time series in yearly basis. The NDVI values and SPI indices were able to show extent and variability of drought. The 3-months SPI results revealed that maximum frequency of severe drought events were experienced in Gode (7 times), followed by Hurso (6 times) within the study period.  The 6-months SPI results show that less frequency of dry and wet events were observed in the entire study period as compared to 3-months SPI results. The frequency of any drought events (moderate to extreme) occurrence in the study area is once in every two years at all stations. Whereas, severe and extreme drought event in majority of study area is commenced nearly once in three years with the exception of Degahabur having once in five years. Overall, a preliminary comparison between results obtained using the SPI and NDVI shows a general good agreements.

Published: March 2023

Five vetch species were evaluated for basic quantitative and qualitative traits at Holetta and Ginchi in the central highlands of Ethiopia during the main cropping season. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications at each location. The result revealed that a species of vetch respond differently (P < 0.05) for most measured traits at both locations. The tallest plant height was recorded for Vicia dasycarpa and Vicia atropurpurea at Holetta and Ginchi respectively. On the other hand, Vicia narbonensis had the shortest plant height at both locations. Vetch species which have an erect growth habit and shorter plant height had a fast biomass production rate than creeping and taller species. Late maturing vetch species gave higher forage dry matter and its morphological fraction yields than early maturing vetch species at both testing sites. Vicia villosa gave relatively higher dry matter yield, whereas Vicia narbonensis gave the lowest at both locations. Early maturing vetch species had comparatively shorter grain filling period and higher grain sink filling rate than intermediate to late maturing species. The highest number of pods per plant was obtained from Vicia villosa at Holetta and Vicia dasycarpa at Ginchi whereas Vicia narbonensis had the lowest at bothlocations. The highest pod length was obtained from Vicia narbonensis and Vicia sativa gave the highest number of seeds per pod. Vicia sativa and Vicia narbonensis gave the highest seed yield at Holetta and Ginchi, respectively. The highest thousand seed weight was recorded for Vicia narbonensis whereas the lowest for Vicia dasycarpa and Vicia villosa at Holetta and Ginchi, respectively. Moreover, forage quality of vetch species varied across testing sites. Vicia dasycarpa had the highest ash content, crude protein content and in vitro dry matter digestibility than the remaining vetch species. Generally, late maturing vetch species had better forage dry matter yield and nutritional qualities than other vetch species and with this preliminary result, these vetch species are suggested for proper utilization as livestock feed in the central highlands of Ethiopia. However, furtherevaluation of the species over locations and years is very important to come up with a better recommendation.

Published: March 2023

Antenatal exercise reduces many health related risks in pregnant women and their fetuses. Adequate knowledge regarding antenatal exercise is vital to practice. However, knowledge of antenatal exercise has not been studied yet in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge of antenatal exercise and its associated factors among pregnant women in Arba Minch town. Community based cross-sectional study design was conducted. Data were collected by using structured questionnaire from 422 pregnant women selected by simple random sampling technique. Sixteen questions with expected responses of “yes” or “no” were applied to examine knowledge. Descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, frequencies, and proportions werecomputed. In multivariable logistic-regression, AOR with 95% confidence intervals were computed. The significance level was declared at p value < 0.05. Overall, 46% (95% CI, 41%-51%) of pregnant women had adequate knowledge of antenatal exercise. High school educational level [AOR= 2.45,(95%CI1.04-5.77)], monthly income < 1,347 Ethiopian birr [AOR=0.55,(95%CI 0.33-0.92)], unemployment [AOR=0.33,(95%CI 0.14-0.77)], gravida one [AOR=3.15,(95%CI 1.39-7.14)], gravida two to three [AOR=3.28,(95%CI 1.61-6.69)], four to three months of pregnancy [AOR=0.58, (95%CI 0.38-0.90)] and age < 25 years [AOR= 0.49, (95%CI 0.30-0.79)] were significantly associated with knowledge of antenatal exercise.Knowledge towards antenatal exercise in this setting found to be inadequate. Educational levels, income level, occupation status, gravidity, months of pregnancy and age were factors associated with antenatal exercise. Hence, interventions targeting to improve the income and employment status of pregnant women are recommended.

Published: March 2023

Environmental awareness as an integral part of ecological culture, i.e. part of general culture, is subject to the influence of various factors that lead to its development. Therefore, the subject of this research is reflected in determining the dominant factors that lead to the acquisition of ecological knowledge, and therefore to the development of ecological awareness. The presented research was conducted on a sample of 170 fourth-grade pupils from the Kosovo and Metohija area. The obtained data confirm the third research hypothesis, while the other two hypotheses are not confirmed. Life in nature, that is, cooperation with nature, can be significantly statistically predicted based on kindergarten, school, family and peer group as dominant factors influencing the development of environmental awareness. The reflection of the conducted research can be reflected in the attempts of practitioners to "win" the peer group on their side, having knowledge of the impact on the development of environmental awareness.

Published: March 2023

Selecting the right cutting tool material for the type of workpiece material plays a very important role in the machining process. The efficiency of the machining process is greatly influenced by this selection. The tables in the manuals or the manufacturer's instructions are commonly used documents for the selection of cutting tool materials. Within each of these document types, the cutting tool materials were described by different criteria. So, tool selection is considered as a multi-criteria decision-making activity. The values of the criteria for each type of cutting tool can be a number or a certain range. This study proposes a new method to rank and select cutting tools. First, a ranking of the solutions for each criterion will be performed. This ranking is based on the mean value of the criteria in each solution. Therefore, this method is called "Ranking the Solutions based on the Mean Value of Criteria - RSMVC". The RSMVC method was proven to be a highly reliable method for ranking the cutting tool materials. These results were successfully verified when solving the problems in different cases of cutter material selection.

Published: March 2023

Introducing ammonia as a ship-fuel comes with different challenges. This paper analyzes some of the safety aspects of using ammonia as a fuel for vessel propulsion. Specifically, the study focuses on the handling of accidental releases from the refrigerated storage tank and the connected fuel systems within enclosed spaces, such as the tank room and the engine room. A possible handing technology for ammonia leaks on ships are compact ammonia scrubbers, and to enable such compact scrubbers this work also studies the influence of packed bed geometries on bubble dynamics, identifying design characteristics that can improve ammonia dissolution or neutralization efficiency.
Failure Knowledge Graphs
Authors: Vucinic Bojan
Published: March 2023

Failure analysis is the cornerstone of asset management via life-cycle costs optimizations. Knowledge graphs are semantic nets that are the next level of database technology. Machine learning (ML) is a field of inquiry devoted to understanding and building methods that “learn”, that is, methods that leverage data to improve performance on some set of tasks. We propose to structure the machine learning data into knowledge graphs to foster advanced failure analysis leveraging optimum life-cycle costs where costs are considered in the largest possible sense including the cost of human life preservation (safety) and the cost (impact) on the environment.
Energy-minimizing kinematics for actively morphing flapping-foil thrusters
Authors: Anevlavi Dimitra , Filippas Evangelos , Belibassakis Kostas
Published: March 2023

Bio-inspired thruster designs based on flapping-foils have the potential to achieve high efficiency and stealth, thus allowing for an extension of the overall operational capabilities of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) propelled solely using foils. In this work, we produce thruster designs with enhanced propulsive performance by introducing prescribed chordwise and spanwise changes in the geometry during each flapping-cycle, i.e. active morphing, with optimally tuned parameters to further mimic aquatic locomotion. The reference design performs a thrust-producing combination of out-of-phase heaving and pitching motions, whereas for the evaluation of each candidate design, a cost-effective GPU-accelerated boundary element solver (BEM) is proposed.

Numerical analysis of the impact of the bow thruster opening on a fast catamaran’s resistance
Authors: Duman Suleyman , Boulougouris Evangelos , Aung Myo Zin , Xu Xue , Nazemian Amin
Published: March 2023

Steering a ship in confined waters is particularly important for the efficient operation of high-speed ferries. Bow thruster is the obvious solution. It may have however an adverse effect on the resistance of the vessel. The interference between demi hulls in the case of catamarans becomes an important and complex phenomenon as it affects many aspects of the hydrodynamic performance of the vessel. This study has focused on the analysis of the fluid flow around a fast catamaran with/without a bow thruster tunnel. A zero-carbon fast passenger ferry catamaran hull has been subjected to resistance simulations at two different speeds. Firstly, the catamaran hull without a bow opening has been simulated by commercial RANS solver software. After that, the simulations have been repeated for the catamaran hull with bow thruster opening. Finally, the bow opening has been filled with a gridded plane for garbage straining. The findings are very interesting for the fast catamaran ferry designers and operators. They are discussed for all three conditions in a comparative approach.

A range of non-conventional fuels are currently being considered for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. Modeling the emissions profile of these fuels can support the rapid development of engine concepts that assist decarbonization efforts. The goal of this study is to develop and test effective thermodynamic modeling frameworks which can predict (a) methane emissions from natural gas-operated engines, and (b) greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from ammonia-operated engines. The GT-Suite 0D/1D-CFD simulation software is used as the main framework for model development. Modeled emissions show generally good agreement with experimental measurements from large engines operated with Liquefied Natural Gas or diesel-ammonia mixtures.

Optimal ship routing systems require highly accurate oceanic data. Our technological innovation is based on the use of high-resolution currents derived from the fusion of various satellite observations by harnessing Artificial Intelligence methods. Today, routing strategies rely mainly on the outputs of operational oceanic models that cannot always guarantee the accurate prediction of surface currents. In this study we compare our HIRES currents data stemming from satellites, with commonly used operational oceanic models, reducing errors by more than a factor of two, both for a nowcast and short forecast scenarios. We explore a specific optimization example along a highly commercial shipping road in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, demonstrating the advantage of our method. We show that high reliability on the observed oceanic conditions allows for a short-term oceanic routing that can significantly optimize the ship’s voyage time as well as the ship’s fuel consumption. This low-cost/low-risk solution can be employed today to advance shipping decarbonization.

This article proposes as a case study the instructional design of the subject Fundamentals of Television Production, a core subject of the degree in Audiovisual Communication at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra - Barcelona. It does so in the context of the implementation of a new common educational model called "EDvolució", which aims to accentuate the dynamics of active student learning through the multiplication of teaching experiences, the professional practice, the inclusion of social and industrial agents in the development of the subject, collaborative and transdisciplinary work, and the acquisition of transversal competences, among other elements. The particularity of subjects related to the creative and cultural industries requires an exceptional application of the principles promoted by EDvolució, as they are at the intersection of technological, artistic and theoretical fields at the same time. For this reason, the article first explains the didactic specificities of the sector in which this subject is included and what disruptive approach has been given to this concrete case, and then goes on to explain how its link with EDvolució is proposed and how its instructional design is concretely developed.

Astrophysical jets are highly collimated supersonic plasma beams distributed across various astrophysical backgrounds. The triggering mechanism, collimation transmission, and stability of jets have always been a research hotspot of astrophysics. In recent years, observations and laboratory research have found that the magnetic field plays a crucial role in jet collimation, transmission, and acceleration. In this work, the two-dimensional numerical simulation of the jet in front of the CH plane target driven by an intense laser is carried out by using the open-source MHD FLASH simulation program. We systematically investigate the dynamic behaviors of jet evolution caused by the Biermann self-generated magnetic field, the external magnetic field with different directions and initial strengths and compare them with each other. Simulation results show that the Biermann self-generated magnetic field does not affect the jet interface dynamics. The external magnetic field has a redirecting effect on the plasma outflow. The external magnetic field, which is parallel to the direction of the plasma outflow center in front of the target, is conducive to the generation and collimation of the jet. The evolution of the jet goes through three stages: antimagnetic ellipsoid cavity, conical nozzle, and collimated jet. Its formation process and evolution process result from competition among plasma thermal, magnetic, and ram pressure. In terms of force, plasma thermal pressure gradient and magnetic pressure forces play a decisive role in the jet evolution process. The presence of magnetic pressure significantly limits the radial expansion of the jet to achieve axial collimation transmission. The length-diameter ratio of the jet is positively correlated with the initial axial applied magnetic field intensity. In addition, we observe in the simulation that there are many node-like structures in the jet evolution zone, similar to the jet node in YSO. The results provide a reference for future experimental research related to jets and contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of celestial jets.
Finding priority bacterial ribosomes for future structural and antimicrobial research based upon global RNA and protein sequence analysis

Ribosome-targeting antibiotics comprise over half of antibiotics used in medicine, but our fundamental knowledge of their binding sites is derived primarily from ribosome structures of non-pathogenic species. These include Thermus thermophilus, Deinococcus radiodurans and the archaean Haloarcula marismortui, as well as the commensal and sometimes pathogenic organism, Escherichia coli. Advancements in electron cryomicroscopy have allowed for the determination of more ribosome structures from pathogenic bacteria, with each study highlighting species-specific differences that had not been observed in the non-pathogenic structures. These observed differences suggest that more novel ribosome structures, particularly from pathogens, are required for a more accurate understanding of the level of diversity of the entire bacterial ribosome, with the potential of leading to innovative advancements in antibiotic research. In this study, high accuracy covariance and hidden Markov models were used to annotate ribosomal RNA and protein sequences respectively from genomic sequence, allowing us to determine the underlying ribosomal sequence diversity using phylogenetic methods. This analysis provided evidence that the current non-pathogenic ribosome structures are not sufficient representatives of some pathogenic bacteria, such as Campylobacter pylori, or of whole phyla such as Bacteroidota (Bacteroidetes).
