Authors: Goodson Jason , Brewczynski Jacek , Baker Lucas , Haeffel Gerald , Woolston Caleb , Asnaani Anu , Roberge Erika M.
Published: July 2023

Safety behaviors are core cognitive and behavioral components involved
in the onset, maintenance, and treatment of anxiety-related disorders.
Yet, these behaviors remain understudied in the context of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). This may be due, in part, to the lack of
psychometrically valid instruments designed to evaluate safety
behaviors, particularly those relevant to the diagnosis of PTSD.
Furthermore, there is an absence of PTSD-related safety behavior
measures with the brevity necessary for continuous measurement-based
care during treatment. Our research aims to investigate the psychometric
characteristics of the newly formed PTSD scale of the Safety Behavior
Assessment form (SBAF-PTSD) through three studies. The first study
examined SBAF-PTSD factorial validity via confirmatory factor analyses
(CFA), along with other psychometric properties. Results identified a
10-item bi-factor model that reflects a primary Safety Behavior scale
and a secondary, latent construct labeled SBAF-PTSD Social Index. The
newly revised SBAF-PTSD scale was then used in an effectiveness study to
investigate its clinical utility in the context of PTSD treatment. The
third study sought to generalize our results to non-clinical samples.
The results of the studies are discussed in terms of their implications
for the use of the new PTSD-SBAF measure.
Outcomes of the international database on SARS-CoV-2 infections in children with Esophageal Atresia/Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Authors: M Jonathan O’Donnell E , Krishnan Usha , Faure Christophe
Published: July 2023

Background and Aim To assess the outcomes of children born with
esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with concomitant
SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods An international survey was
circulated to the International Network of Esophageal Atresia
(INoEA) members from April 2020 to May 2022. Information on
demography, type of EA-TEF, co-morbidities, complications,
hospitalization, and therapies administered for SARS-CoV-2 infection was
collected for all patients. Results Forty-two patients from
April 2020-May 2022, with a mean age of 6.8 years were reported from
Argentina, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, France, Italy, Australia
and Turkey. 34 patients (81%) had a type C, EA-TEF. 30 had respiratory
comorbidities, 14 had associated cardiac malformations and 14 had a
history of recurrent anastomotic stricture. Reported medications
included proton-pump inhibitors (n=14), inhaled bronchodilators (n=3)
and inhaled corticosteroids (n=4). Six patients (14%) were
hospitalised. Three required respiratory support and one required
extra-corporal membranous oxygenation. There were no deaths.
Respiratory, cardiac and gastrointestinal comorbidities were not
associated with increased risk of hospitalization. Concomitant
medication at time of infection was associated with increased risk for
hospitalization with SARS-CoV-2 infection (p=0.0035), however PPI alone
was not significantly associated with increased risk for hospitalization
(p=0.16). Conclusion Rates of hospitalization with SARS-CoV-2
are higher for patients with EA-TEF than the general pediatric
population, with increased risk in those on medication in patients. 67%
of those admitted required respiratory support. Infection likely does
not represent a risk for severe respiratory complications or severe
outcome.

Published: July 2023

A retrospective observational study was conducted among healthcare
workers (HCWs) in a tertiary paediatric hospital. The study covered the
period before and after implementation of the vaccination programme and
evaluated the incidence of new SARS-CoV-2 infections in both periods.
Risk factors of the new SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccine
effectiveness was also assessed in a real-world setting. The overall
incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections among HCWs in the study period was
19.4% with a high proportion of asymptomatic individuals (45.1%). The
incidence before vaccination was 16.6% and nurses had a higher risk of
infection, while physicians had a reduced risk (OR 1.80, 95% CI
1.29–2.52; and OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.30–0.68). Within two months of
implementation, the programme achieved a high (88.9%) vaccination
coverage in our cohort, although some disparities in vaccination rates
were observed. In particular, older individuals, physicians, those
working in clinical settings, and those previously uninfected were more
likely to be vaccinated. The overall incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection
after vaccination deployment was 6.3% (40.0% in unvaccinated
individuals and 3.2% in individuals vaccinated with at least one dose).
The estimated vaccine efficacy was high (95.0%) in fully vaccinated
HCWs and similar to those observed previously in clinical trials and
real-world settings.
Phenotypic and genomic insights into population differentiation, introgression, and selection in Quercus rubra across a narrow but steep environmental gradient
Authors: Quijano María José Gómez , Gross Briana , Etterson Julie
Published: July 2023

Adaptive differentiation in functional traits and their underlying loci
can occur across a small geographic area if natural selection is
stronger than the countervailing effects of gene flow and drift. We
investigated this hypothesis in a long-lived, wind-pollinated species,
Quercus rubra, across a fine spatial scale with a steep climate
gradient. We examined phenotypic differentiation in a common garden
study with eight populations sampled 0-160 km from the coast of Lake
Superior. We estimated genomic differentiation for these and 22
additional populations from the same region, along with two populations
of a congener, Quercus ellipsoidalis, using RAD-seq. We found a
strong signal of population differentiation associated with climate in
the common garden study, and differentiation was significantly
associated with at least one climate factor for nine of ten measured
traits. At the genomic level, we discovered widespread introgression
from Q. ellipsoidalis into Q. rubra that increased with
distance from the lake. Pairwise F among Q.
rubra populations was low, but both distance-based and environmental
association analyses identified loci under selection, with one locus in
common across all analyses (CalS10/GSL8). This locus was
associated with the precipitation of the driest month, a climate factor
that was also significant in the common garden analyses. In sum, this
study reveals signatures of selection at the phenotypic and genomic
level consistent with climate adaptation, a pattern that is usually seen
across a much broader geographic scale.
A Data-Driven Approach for the Prediction of Reynolds Number Effects on Wind Turbine Airfoil Aerodynamic Polars
Authors: Uzol Oguz , ÖZGÖREN Ahmet
Published: July 2023

This study presents a data-driven approach to extrapolate and predict
Reynolds number effects on wind turbine airfoil polars. For this purpose
a database is created using experimentally obtained aerodynamic
coefficients from open literature for airfoils with thickness-to-chord
ratio (t/c) values in the range of 15% to 30% in order to be more
relevant to wind turbine blade design applications. All available
airfoil geometries are parameterized using PARSEC methodology, and a
Pareto analysis is performed to understand the sensitivity of maximum
lift coefficient ( C l max ) and minimum drag coefficient ( C d min )
variations to geometrical inputs as well as to the Reynolds number using
statistical tools. Based on this analysis, response surfaces are
generated to predict C l max and C d min of a given airfoil operating at
a given Reynolds number. These predicted values are then utilized in a
power-law based estimation methodology to obtain predictions for full
polars, which are then compared to experimental data for selected
airfoil test cases. The results show that the response surfaces
generated through the current data-driven approach as well as the full
polar prediction methodology show better agreement with experimental
results compared to those obtained using numerical simulations-based
extrapolation schemes. For airfoil types that might be under-represented
in the database (such as symmetrical airfoils), the prediction results
can be erroneous, especially at very high Reynolds numbers that are not
in the constructed database. In the power-law based polar prediction
methodology, utilizing a reference Reynolds number that is closer to the
target value provides more accurate predictions for both lift and drag
polars.

Authors: Darnalis Nur Mardhiya , Zainal Hadzliana , Germovsek Eva
Published: July 2023

Abstract Aims This bibliometric study aim to analyse the top 100 most
cited articles since inception (1964-2021) and in the recent years
(2015-2021) to explore the trends of most cited papers using data from
the Scopus database. Methods We bibliometrically analysed the most cited
articles (n=100) extracted from the Scopus online database from
inception (1964-2021) and again in the recent years (2015-2021) using
VOSviewer v1.6.15 and Publish or Perish v8 software. Information such as
ATC/drug class, model type, software used, studied population, authors’
institutions, journals, collaborations between countries, and funding
sources was extracted and compared. Results Majority of the studies
(65%) described in the 100 most cited articles were population PK
modelling studies, with the proportion of the population PKPD modelling
studies increasing over time (from 30 to 43%). A large percentage of
the impactful articles (43%) were published by top five journals,
analysed adult data (84%) and used NONMEM® (80%), which has not
changed much over time. Most of the impactful articles studied
chemotherapeutic and immunomodulating (33%), anti-infective (29%), and
central nervous system (22%) ATC class of drugs, with articles
analysing immunosuppressant drug class increasing the most over time
(from 10% to 18%). Conclusion We used a bibliometric approach and
investigated research trends in top 100 most cited articles involving
PK(/PD) modelling. Apart from the changes mentioned above most other
metrics that we compared remained relatively unchanged over time
Airborne Measurements of Scale-Dependent Latent Heat Flux Impacted by Water Vapor and Vertical Velocity over Heterogeneous Land Surfaces During the CHEESEHEAD19 Campaign
Authors: Lin Guo , Wang Zhien , Chu Yufei , Ziegler Conrad , Hu Xiao-Ming , Xue Ming , Geerts Bart , Paleri Sreenath , Desai Ankur Rashmikant , Yang Kang , Deng Min , DeGraw Jonathan
Published: July 2023

The spatiotemporal variability of latent heat flux (LE) and water vapor
mixing ratio (rv) variability are not well understood due to the
scale-dependent and nonlinear atmospheric energy balance responses to
land surface heterogeneity. Airborne in situ and profiling Raman lidar
measurements with the wavelet technique are utilized to investigate
scale-dependent relationships among LE, vertical velocity (w) variance
(s2w), and rv variance (s2wv) over a heterogeneous surface in the
Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy-balance Study Enabled by a
High-density Extensive Array of Detectors 2019 (CHEESEHEAD19) field
campaign. Our findings reveal distinct scale distributions of LE, s2w,
and s2wv at 100 m height, with a majority scale range of 120m-4km in LE,
32m-2km in s2w, and 200 m – 8 km in s2wv. The scales are classified
into three scale ranges, the turbulent scale (8m–200m), large-eddy
scale (200m–2km), and mesoscale (2 km–8km) to evaluate scale-resolved
LE contributed by s2w and s2wv. In the large-eddy scale in Planetary
Boundary Layer (PBL), 69-75% of total LE comes from 31-51% of the
total sw and 39-59% of the total s2wv. Variations exist in LE, s2w, and
s2wv, with a range of 1.7-11.1% of total values in monthly-mean
variation, and 0.6–7.8% of total values in flight legs from July to
September. These results confirm the dominant role of the large-eddy
scale in the PBL in the vertical moisture transport from the surface to
the PBL. This analysis complements published scale-dependent LE
variations, which lack detailed scale-dependent vertical velocity and
moisture information.
A variational LSTM emulator of sea level contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet
Authors: Katwyk Peter Van , Fox-Kemper Baylor , Seroussi Helene , Nowicki Sophie , Bergen Karianne J
Published: July 2023

The Antarctic ice sheet will be a dominant contributor to global mean
sea level rise in the 21st century but remains a major source of
uncertainty. The Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison for CMIP6 (ISMIP6) is
an ensemble of continental-scale models for studying the evolution of
the Antarctic Ice Sheet and projecting its future contribution to sea
level. Due to their complexity and computational cost, ISMIP6
simulations are sparse and generated infrequently. Emulators are
smaller-scale models that approximate ice sheet models (ISMs) and enable
experimentation and exploration into the drivers of sea level change. We
introduce a neural network (NN) emulator to approximate the ISMIP6
ensemble, using a variational LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) with Monte
Carlo dropout to quantify single-projection uncertainty. The proposed NN
emulator is compared to a Gaussian Process (GP) emulator on four
criteria: accuracy of point estimates and predictive distributions of
individual model projections, approximation of the ensemble
projections,  and model training time. The NN predicts more accurately
on single projections, with a mean absolute error of 0.46 mm Sea Level
Equivalent (SLE) vs. 0.73 mm SLE for the GP, and has more accurate
uncertainty estimates. The NN emulator also better approximates the
ensemble distribution of ISMIP6 model projections, with a
Kullback–Leibler divergence of 18.26 vs. 199.14 for GP at the
projection year 2100. The NN enables more accurate experimentation with
a reduced runtime, offering a new tool for understanding the important
role of regional precipitation, ice sheet drainage systems, and
interannual and longer timescale dynamics.

Objective – to study the dynamics of the level of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100 protein in blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid in children with various features of viral encephalitis course and outcome and to define their role in diagnostics and prognosis.

Material and methods. 48 children aged from 1 month to 15 years were examined. Analysis of the level of NSE and S-100 protein was performed by the method of hardphase immune-enzyme analysis.

Results. A reliable increase of the level of S-100 protein in blood serum was identified in comparison with the control group in both acute and reconvalescence periods. During acute period higher values of NSE in blood serum were found in children with herpesvirus encephalitis of various etiologies in comparison with varicella zoster encephalitis, and during reconvalescence period – higher values of S-100 protein. In case of the most severe course of the disease the level of NSE in cerebrospinal fluid was reliably higher in comparison with patients in severe condition. Children with convulsive syndrome demonstrated higher concentration of NSE in cerebrospinal fluid than patients without convulsions. In case of formation of stable neurologic deficiency during the disease outcome there was identified an increase of NSE concentration in blood serum in comparison with the recovered patients. It was also identified that if the values of NSE were >7.0 ng/ml, it was possible to predict unfavourable outcome of viral encephalitis with sensitivity of 61.54% and specificity of 71.43%. The highest values of neuron-specific proteins in blood serum were found in the dead patient with herpes encephalitis.

Conclusion. Analysis of NSE and S-100 protein in pediatric viral encephalitis is characterized by diagnostic and prognostic significance, demonstrates their role in pathogenesis and can be used for therapy correction.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of the study: to determine the development of vaccination against infections associated with contingents in an epidemic crisis.

Materials and methods: the method of a sociological survey of future workers and those vaccinated in different epidemic status periods was used: 2019 – the pre-pandemic period and 2020 – the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. A sociological survey was conducted in 2019 among 212 medical workers (130 doctors and 82 nurses) and among 229 medical workers in 2020 (143 doctors and 86 nurses). Parents were also interviewed using a questionnaire. 100 and 50 respondents took part in the survey, respectively.

Results: a large number of pregnant workers – 74.3-88.1% are positive about vaccination. However, 6.8% of therapists and 9.6% of nurses of adult health facilities express a wary attitude, there were no negative reactions, unlike in 2019, when the severity of 2.2% of general practitioners and 4.2% of nurses of adult health facilities was negative. The largest number of respondents of all groups among the reasons for refusing to vaccinate is called “information that vaccinations are dangerous” from 76.6% to 88.9% in 20219, from 74.1% to 93.2% in 2020. Among parents, only 34% had a positive attitude towards vaccination, 12% negatively.

Conclusions: It is necessary to take prompt measures to increase adherence to vaccination of the main social groups that have a decisive influence on the attitude and effect of vaccination.
Modern concepts of the mechanisms of congenital cytomegalovirus infection development
Authors: Vasil’ev V. V. , Rogozina N. V. , Markin I. V.
Published: July 2023

The review presents modern information of domestic and foreign authors about possible pathogenetic mechanisms of the virus effect on the fetus in the case of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women. Immunosuppressive changes, which are a feature of the physiological course of pregnancy, create favorable conditions for the development of active cytomegalovirus infection. The virus’s ability to infect a wide range of cells in vivo and trigger a set of molecular mechanisms causes changes in placental cell differentiation, which plays a key role in transplant transmission. The processes of formation of chronic placental insufficiency, which leads to hypoxia of the fetus and to delay of intrauterine development, are separately highlighted. The literary data on non-specific metabolic changes of the mother and placental activation of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL2, IL-6 and IL-8), which occur in cytomegalovirus infection and are of significant importance in formation of hypoxia of the fetus have been analyzed.

In addition, the role of individual cells in preventing intrauterine infection is examined, namely the deciduous macrophages with antiviral activity, the deciduous natural killers and their activated toll-like receptors. The article also discusses the genetic predisposition to the development of manifest forms of EID, including the relationship of polymorphism of TLR2 and Arg753Gln genes with an increased risk of intrauterine infection of the fetus CMV.

Characteristic properties of the virus are pronounced genetic diversity, the ability to life-long persistence in various human organs and tissues (secretory glands, lymphatic cells, kidneys, etc.) and replication without cell damage, as well as suppressing cellular immunity. The article describes the issues of genotyping of virus and the relationship of some genotypes with certain organ pathology in newborns.

Background: The disease that is endemic and has become a global pandemic is COVID-19 due to reports of thousands of cases. The pandemic is weighing on intensive care units with an influx of COVID-19 patients. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary, diagnostic examinations and treatment are also experiencing dynamic developments. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, length of treatment and nutritional status of COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized in the Isolation Room of Dr Soetomo Hospital Surabaya.

Methods: this study used a descriptive analytic cross-sectional method with inclusion criteria that were positive for COVID-19. The research data was obtained from 130 hospital medical records for the period June to August 2021. The collected data was then analyzed using SPSS version 25.

Results: The study found that men were more exposed to COVID-19 (71.5%) and 70% of patients worked as medical personnel. The age range of the majority of patients was more than 40 years (78.5%). Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 patients were cough (44.6%), fever (40%), flu-like symptoms (32.3%), painful swallowing (26.2%), anosmia (16.2%), shortness of breath (15.4%), nausea (14.6%), vomiting (13.8%), and diarrhea (0.9%). The average length of stay is 7-14 days (9.2%) with adequate nutritional status (14.6%).

Conclusion: The majority of COVID-19 sufferers are male, over 40 years old, with cough symptoms, and the most comorbid hypertension, as well as deaths from hypertension and the elderly. Better treatment is needed for people with COVID-19.
An Examination of Occupational Fraud Committed by Information Technology Professionals
Authors: Dull Richard B. , Rice Marie M.
Published: July 2023

To keep up with the demands from increasingly complex systems, information technology (IT) departments have sought IT professionals and frequently provided these individuals with privileged access to organizational systems early in their tenure. This study uses survey data obtained from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Research Institute, to examine occupational frauds committed by IT professionals versus frauds committed by non-IT personnel. The differences between IT and non-IT personnel can have an impact on organizational fraud. Findings show that IT perpetrators engage in fraud earlier in their tenure and generate similar losses to their non-IT counterparts but in shorter time frames. Organizational managers and forensic accountants should be aware of these important differences and consider the use of monitoring controls, such as management reviews of access and user activity, to detect fraud committed by IT perpetrators. This study provides several suggestions for future research in this vein.

Data Availability: Data are available from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).

The development of teacher professionalism must primarily be based on the individual needs of the teacher himself, in addition to the needs of the institution and group of teachers. So far, it has been indicated that teachers, especially at the SMP/MTs level, have problems in developing a scientific approach based learning program, especially in implementing it. The implementation of Science and Technology for Society (IbM) has been held to improve the understanding and skills of junior high school science teachers at South Lampung in developing teaching material based on scientific approach with the Argument-Driven Inquiry learning model. Lecturers as resource persons and education experts in the development of teacher professionalism coordinate the implementation of the program and its implementation. The results of the implementation this IbM indicate an increase in teacher understanding of the design of junior high school science teaching materials based on the scientific approach with the Argument-Driven Inquiry learning model. Teacher skills are improved, especially in compiling a Science Worksheet for Students in a Junior High School based on a scientific approach with argumentation. Therefore, the implementation of IbM carried out effectively and in accordance with the expected results.

Decarbonization of the energy sector is a necessary but long-term process. It includes at least partial substitution of fossil fuels using renewable and alternative fuels. However, this substitution, apart from not always being possible, is often accompanied by limitations and unknowns. Those unknowns are dominantly related to the possibility of establishing stable, highly efficient and low-waste combustion as a fundamental process of primary energy conversion from fuel. Such situations are very common considering the necessity of decarbonization in a very large number of fossil fuel-based energy plants, especially coal-based ones. The possibility of establishing an energetically, economically and environmentally acceptable combustion process is a function of a number of variables, of which the collective properties of the fuel, including the ash from that fuel, are dominant in this sense. With the motive of a scientific contribution to the energy transition, and with the aim of obtaining new knowledge about the characteristics of the combustion of lignite coals with different types of biomass, a set of laboratory research was carried out. Various mixtures of lignite, waste woody biomass and Miscanthus as a fast-growing energy crop were subjected to combustion. With a change in the composition of the fuel mixture, the tests were performed at a process temperature of 1250 °C and with a staged supply of combustion air.  With these combustion conditions, the emission of undesirable components into the environment, the efficiency of combustion and the ash estimated tendency of fouling of the boiler heating surfaces were determined. It has been shown that even with co-firing at a temperature of 1250 °C, it is possible to establish a efficient process with an acceptable content of unburnt carbon in the slag (unburnt carbon content, UBC<4%) as well as CO emissions (eCO≤340 mg/mn3), a relatively low emission of nitrogen oxides eNOx≤670 mg/mn3. Also, the process proved to be well controlled from the aspect of possible ash slagging in the furnace. The net emission of CO2 decreases in proportion to the share of biomass in the mixture, while the emission of SO2 is high, at the level of eSO2≤2500 mg/mn3.

Den Superkunden verstehen! Next7G Project Management - Nachhaltiges Projektmanagement für die nächsten sieben Generationen
Authors: Glitscher Wolfgang
Published: July 2023

Zur Steuerung nachhaltiger Entwicklungen, wie sie z. B. für das Schließen von Stoffkreisläufen notwendig sind, benötigt Projektmanagement eine erweiterte, in Unternehmenshandlungen umsetzbare Definition über das Liefern von Projektergebnissen in geschlossene, strukturierte Systeme hinaus. Projektmanager sind Gestalter von Zukünften. Im Sinne der Steuerung nachhaltiger Prozesse sind sie selbst von den Ergebnissen aus der Realisierung ihrer Projekte betroffen. Ein Next7G Project Management basiert auf einem Grundsatz aus der Überlieferung der Irokesen. Diese berücksichtigt die Auswirkungen von Handlungen auf die nächsten sieben Generationen. Damit wird eine Beachtung machbarer und visionärer Weiterentwicklungen von Projektergebnissen in Richtung nachhaltiges Projektmanagement notwendig. Der Autor sieht dies als einen wesentlichen Faktor für die Zukunft des Projektmanagements und darüber hinaus ebenfalls als Herausforderung für die Unternehmensleitungen. Erste Ansätze werden hier zur Diskussion gestellt.
