Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production. However, the quantitative genomic analysis of heterosis was lacking, and there is currently no effective prediction tool to optimize cross-combinations. Here 2,839 rice hybrid cultivars and 9,839 segregation individuals were resequenced and phenotyped. Our findings demonstrated that indica–indica hybrid-improving breeding was a process that broadened genetic resources, pyramided breeding-favorable alleles through combinatorial selection and collaboratively improved both parents by eliminating the inferior alleles at negative dominant loci. Furthermore, we revealed that widespread genetic complementarity contributed to indica–japonica intersubspecific heterosis in yield traits, with dominance effect loci making a greater contribution to phenotypic variance than overdominance effect loci. On the basis of the comprehensive dataset, a genomic model applicable to diverse rice varieties was developed and optimized to predict the performance of hybrid combinations. Our data offer a valuable resource for advancing the understanding and facilitating the utilization of heterosis in rice.

Simulating the carbon-water fluxes at more widely distributed meteorological stations based on the sparsely and unevenly distributed eddy covariance flux stations is needed to accurately understand the carbon-water cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. We established a new framework consisting of machine learning, determination coefficient (R2), Euclidean distance, and remote sensing (RS), to simulate the daily net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE) and water flux (WF) of the Eurasian meteorological stations using a random forest model or/and RS. The daily NEE and WF datasets with RS-based information (NEE-RS and WF-RS) for 3774 and 4427 meteorological stations during 2002–2020 were produced, respectively. And the daily NEE and WF datasets without RS-based information (NEE-WRS and WF-WRS) for 4667 and 6763 meteorological stations during 1983–2018 were generated, respectively. For each meteorological station, the carbon-water fluxes meet accuracy requirements and have quasi-observational properties. These four carbon-water flux datasets have great potential to improve the assessments of the ecosystem carbon-water dynamics.

Published: September 2023

Environmental impact assessment of glucose production from paddy milling waste, known as empty and partially filled paddy grain (EPFG) in Malaysia, was performed using life cycle assessment (LCA). Three scenarios were conducted based on system expansion of the process. The LCA was conducted using ReCiPe methodology at midpoint and endpoint levels. The results indicate that enzymatic hydrolysis phase is the hotspot in the conversion system due to enzyme production. In addition, the agriculture phase also contributed to negative impacts, especially towards climate change. An improved environmental load was observed in scenario 2 when all EPFG fractionation was utilised to replace fossil-based electricity. Sensitivity analysis showed an increase in glucose yield leads to reduced environmental impact. Thus, the LCA study suggests that the conversion process of EPFG could further benefit and improve the paddy industry waste management with low impact contribution to the environment compared to other feedstock used for glucose production.
Optimal control of quantum state preparation and entanglement creation in two-qubit quantum system with bounded amplitude
Authors: Li Xikun
Published: September 2023

We consider the optimal control problem in a two-qubit system with bounded amplitude. Two cases are studied: quantum state preparation and entanglement creation. Cost functions, fidelity and concurrence, are optimized over bang-off controls for various values of the total duration, respectively. For quantum state preparation problem, three critical time points are determined accurately, and optimal controls are estimated. A better estimation of the quantum speed limit is obtained, so is the time-optimal control. For entanglement creation problem, two critical time points are determined, one of them is the minimal time to achieve maximal entanglement (unit concurrence) starting from the product state. In addition, the comparisons between bang-off and chopped random basis (CRAB) are made.

Bronchoscopy with radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound, a guide sheath, and electromagnetic navigation can improve the diagnostic yield of peripheral lung nodules. However, the suitability of specimens for genetic analysis remains unsatisfactory. We hypothesized that a transbronchial biopsy performed after closely approaching the bronchoscope tip to the lesion might provide more suitable specimens for genetic analysis. We enrolled 155 patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions who underwent bronchoscopy with a thin or ultrathin bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy was performed using virtual bronchoscopic navigation and radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath. The bronchoscope tip was placed closer to the lesion during bronchoscopy to collect larger specimens with higher malignant cell content. The patients who underwent a close-to-lesion biopsy had higher rates of overall diagnostic yield, histopathological diagnostic yield, and specimen quality for genetic testing than those who did not. The significant determinants of the specimen’s suitability were the close-to-lesion approach, within-the-lesion image, the use of standard 1.9-mm-forceps, and the number of cancer-cell-positive specimens. The significant predictors of the specimen’s suitability for genetic analysis were close-to-lesion biopsy and the number of malignant cell-positive tissue samples. This study demonstrates that the close-to-lesion transbronchial biopsy significantly improves the suitability of bronchoscopic specimens for genetic analysis.
Homogeneous microwave near-field power focusing using a cylindrical antenna array
Authors: Damavandi Mohammad-Ali , Khalaj-Amirhosseini Mohammad
Published: September 2023

This paper presents an investigation of a microwave near-field power focusing (NFPF) analytical approach utilizing a cylindrical array of electric line sources along the z-axis, applicable to any arbitrary homogeneous linear medium. A novel parameter, termed the “focus ability” (FA), is introduced to quantitatively assess a method's capabilities in achieving power focusing. In the following, the phases and amplitudes of the excitation signals of the array elements are obtained with optimization to maximize FA over a certain studied area. Each stage of the theoretical analysis is supported through COMSOL full-wave simulations, ensuring the validity of the results. Theoretical results relevant to focused power are then compared to outcomes obtained from CST full-wave simulations with the same array configuration while employing half-wave dipole antenna elements with excitations obtained via optimization. These comparisons indicate that the excitation signals obtained by theoretical analysis can be used for power focusing when the array of half-wave dipole antenna sources is utilized. Furthermore, the proposed method leads to a significant reduction in the optimization time. Also, in the provided examples, the FA parameter and NFPF are investigated for the different conditions consisting of the type of the homogeneous medium and the number of antennas.

Published: September 2023

Growth hormone is meaningfully involved in the processes of tooth cells differentiation and tissue formation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of dental anomalies: microdontia, macrodontia, hypodontia and developmental defects of enamel (DDE) amongst a group of isolated growth hormone deficient (GHD) patients and healthy children. This cross-sectional study was based on a group of 101 Caucasian children: 33 with GHD (mean age 10.94, SD 2.51) and 68 being healthy, normal height subjects (mean age 10.4, SD 2.38). The dental examination in primary and permanent teeth was carried out by one trained and calibrated dentist, in accordance with the WHO guidelines. It was observed that 33% of GHD patients suffer from dental anomalies (hypodontia, microdontia or macrodontia), the difference between the study group and the control group was statistically significant (33% vs 4%, p < 0.001). Hypodontia and microdontia/macrodontia were the most common problems affecting 18% and 21% of the GHD individuals, respectively. The prevalence of DDE did not differ significantly between GHD group and the control group (58% vs 48%, p > 0.05). As children with GHD present more dental anomalies than their healthy coevals, clinicians should be aware of the possible oral health problems associated with GHD and consider dental screening and management as part of the patient’s overall health care plan.

Elements constituting and influencing in-service secondary chemistry teachers’ pedagogical scientific language knowledge
Authors: Mönch Corinna , Markic Silvija
Published: September 2023

Chemish – the scientific language of chemistry – is crucial for learning chemistry. To help students acquire the competencies to understand and use Chemish, chemistry teachers need to have a sound knowledge of teaching and learning Chemish: Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge (PSLK). But still, despite the importance of this knowledge, the question remains what exactly it is. Based on a model for science teachers’ PSLK developed through a systematic review, this study seeks to validate the developed model by interviewing experienced chemistry teachers, filling the model with more detail, and examining further and systematising chemistry teachers’ PSLK. Therefore, semi-structured interviews with 19 German secondary chemistry teachers are conducted. The interviews are analyzed both deductively using the results of the systematic review and inductively following the approach of Grounded Theory. Finally, the elements of PSLK resulting from the systematic review, as they are knowledge of (i) scientific language role models, (ii) the development of the concept before the development of the scientific language, (iii) making scientific terms and language explicit, (iv) providing a discursive classroom, (v) providing multiple resources and representations, (vi) providing scaffolds for scientific language development, (vii) communicating expectations clearly, and (viii) specific methods and tools for teaching and learning the scientific language, could be validated and described in more detail, and even new elements, as they are the knowledge of (ix) the motivation when learning scientific language as well as (x) the knowledge of lesson preparation and follow-up, could be identified and described through the interviews. Furthermore, elements influencing the development of and PSLK itself are characterized. Implications to foster Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge during teacher preparation will be given.

Relations Between Selective Mutism and Speech Sound Disorder in Children With 7q11.23 Duplication Syndrome
Authors: Velleman Shelley L. , Guimaraes Vitor N. , Klein-Tasman Bonita P. , Huffman Myra J. , Becerra Angela M. , Mervis Carolyn B.
Published: September 2023

Purpose:

The aim of this study was to explore relations between speech sound disorder severity and selective mutism in a group of children with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome (Dup7), a genetic condition predisposing children to childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and other speech sound disorders and to anxiety disorders, including selective mutism and social anxiety disorder.

Method:

Forty-nine children aged 4–17 years with genetically confirmed Dup7 completed the Goldman–Fristoe Test of Articulation–Second Edition (GFTA-2), the Expressive Vocabulary Test–Second Edition (EVT-2), and the Differential Ability Scales–Second Edition (DAS-II). Parents completed the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule–Parent (ADIS-P).

Results:

Mean standard scores (SSs) were 65.67 for the GFTA-2, 92.73 for the EVT-2, and 82.69 for the DAS-II General Conceptual Ability (GCA; similar to IQ). Standard deviations for all measures were larger than for the general population. GFTA-2 SS was significantly correlated with both EVT-2 SS and DAS-II GCA. Based on the ADIS-P, 22 participants (45%) were diagnosed with selective mutism and 29 (59%) were diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. No significant differences in performance on any of the measures were found either between the group with a selective mutism diagnosis and the group that did not have selective mutism or between the group with a selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder diagnosis and the group that did not have either disorder.

Conclusions:

For children with Dup7, neither the diagnosis of selective mutism nor the diagnosis of selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder was related to severity of speech sound disorder, expressive vocabulary ability, or overall intellectual ability. Accordingly, treatment for speech sound disorder alone is unlikely to lead to remission of selective mutism or social anxiety disorder. Instead, selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder should be treated directly. Further research is needed to determine if these findings generalize to other populations, such as children with idiopathic CAS.
Statistical analysis and interpretation on lightning impulse breakdown voltages of ester liquids under varying field uniformity
Authors: Yu Haichuan , Liu Qiang , Wang Zhongdong
Published: September 2023

Ester liquids (ELs), as the alternative transformer liquids to the conventional mineral oils (MOs), have been increasingly used in power transformers with high voltage ratings. Among various properties, the lightning impulse breakdown voltages (LIBDVs) have been studied elaborately in the past two decades under different electric field uniformities. The electric field uniformities do have an effect on the breakdown characteristics, for example, breakdown mechanisms, polarity effects, and differences of LIBDV between ELs and MOs, which is quantitatively investigated based on the LIBDVs collected from the literatures. The breakdown mechanism transition phenomenon between streamer initiation dominated breakdown and streamer propagation dominated breakdown has been reviewed firstly. Then, the transition field factor boundaries to observe the polarity effect on LIBDVs are taken at around 20 for ELs and 10 for MOs. Besides, the transition field factor boundaries to observe the LIBDV distinctions between ELs and MOs are about 109 and 14 under positive and negative lightning impulse, respectively. The systematic analysis and interpretation on the transition field factor boundaries among different phenomena can provide insights on insulation design of ELs filled power transformers.
Inverter open circuit fault diagnosis based on residual performance evaluation
Authors: Sun Tianyu , Chen Chaobo , Wang Shenhang , Zhang Binbin , Fu Yanfang , Li Jichao
Published: September 2023

Because of uncertain random noise and unknown disturbance, the observer‐based inverter fault diagnosis meets the problems of large deviation of current observation value and high false alarm rate. An inverter open‐circuit fault diagnosis method is proposed via residual performance evaluation. Firstly, the interval sliding mode observer is constructed by combining the interval observer with the sliding mode observer. Three phase current estimates are obtained and current residuals are calculated. Secondly, the residual performance indicators are calculated using the evaluation function. The fault detection is derived by comparing residual performance with the threshold. Thirdly, a residual information table is established based on the fault information contained in the residual for fault isolation. Finally, the proposed algorithm is validated on simulation and physical platforms. Compared with traditional observer‐based diagnostic methods, the introduction of residual performance evaluation improves the diagnostic speed by more than 50%. The interval sliding mode observer has higher estimation accuracy and anti‐interference ability in the presence of noise and external disturbances.
Risk‐based stochastic scheduling of centralised and distributed energy storage systems
Authors: Majidi Majid , Parvania Masood , Byrne Raymond
Published: September 2023

The authors propose a continuous‐time two‐stage stochastic optimisation model for the integration of centralised and distributed energy storage (ES) systems into power systems with high levels of volatile renewable generation. In the proposed model, centralised and distributed ES systems, respectively, controlled by the independent system operator and distribution system operator, can offer energy and flexibility to the operation of the power system in order to help accommodate the uncertainties of renewable generation and load. The proposed model considers the power network constraints and minimises the day‐ahead and real‐time operation costs of the system in the first and second stages. The proposed model utilises energy and ramping flexibility trajectories of ES systems to enhance the cost‐effective operation of the power system, countering the financial risks imposed by the integration of uncertain load and renewable generation. Simulations are conducted on the IEEE 24‐bus reliability test system with multiple risk‐aversion levels for the power system operator, and the results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model in utilising the ES systems to provide energy and ramping flexibility and reducing the financial risks measured by the conditional value at risk.
Joint measurement of the galaxy cluster pressure profile with Planck and SPT-SZ
Authors: Melin J.-B. , Pratt G. W.
Published: September 2023

We measured the average Compton profile of 461 clusters detected jointly by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck. The number of clusters included in this analysis is about one order of magnitude larger than in previous analyses. We propose an innovative method developed in Fourier space to combine optimally the Planck and SPT-SZ data, allowing us to perform a clean deconvolution of the point spread and transfer functions while simultaneously rescaling by the characteristic radial scale R500 with respect to the critical density. The method additionally corrects for the selection bias of SPT clusters in the SPT-SZ data. We undertake a generalised Navarro–Frenk–White (gNFW) fit to the profile with only one parameter fixed, allowing us to constrain the other four parameters with excellent precision. The best-fitting profile is in good agreement with the universal pressure profile based on REXCESS in the inner region and with the Planck intermediate Paper V profile based on Planck and the XMM-Newton archive in the outer region. We investigate trends with redshift and mass, finding no indication of redshift evolution but detecting a significant difference in the pressure profile of the low- versus high-mass subsamples, in the sense that the low mass subsample has a profile that is more centrally peaked than that of the high mass subsample. We also scaled the average Compton profile by the mean Universe density (R200m) and provide the best-fitting gNFW profile. Using the profiles scaled by both the critical (R500) and the mean Universe density (R200m), we studied the outskirt regions by reconstructing the average Compton parameter profile in real space. These profiles show multiple pressure drops at θ > 2θ500, but these cannot clearly be identified with the accretion shocks predicted by hydrodynamical simulations. This is most probably due to our having reached the noise floor in the outer parts of the average profile with the current data sets.
Improved temperature dependence of rate coefficients for rotational state-to-state transitions in H2O + H2O collisions

Aims. We present an improved database of temperature-dependent rate coefficients for rotational state-to-state transitions in H2O + H2O collisions. The database includes 231 transitions between the lower para-states of H2O and 210 transitions between its lower ortho-states (up to j = 7) and can be employed in cometary and planetary applications up to the temperature of 1000 K.

Methods. We developed and applied a new general method that allows the generation of rate coefficients for excitation and quenching processes that automatically satisfy the principle of microscopic reversibility and also helps to cover the range of low collision energies by interpolation of cross sections between the process threshold and the computed data points.

Results. We find that in the range of intermediate temperatures, 150 < T < 600 K, our new rate coefficients are in good agreement with those reported earlier, but for higher temperatures, 600 < T < 1000 K, the new revised temperature dependence is recommended. The low temperature range, 5 < T < 150 K, is now covered by the above-mentioned interpolation of cross sections down to the process threshold.
On the convergence of an IEQ-based first-order semi-discrete scheme for the Beris-Edwards system
Authors: Weber Franziska , Yue Yukun
Published: September 2023

We present a convergence analysis of an unconditionally energy-stable first-order semi-discrete numerical scheme designed for a hydrodynamic Q-tensor model, the so-called Beris-Edwards system, based on the Invariant Energy Quadratization Method (IEQ). The model consists of the Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid flow, coupled to the Q-tensor gradient flow describing the liquid crystal molecule alignment. By using the Invariant Energy Quadratization Method, we obtain a linearly implicit scheme, accelerating the computational speed. However, this introduces an auxiliary variable to replace the bulk potential energy and it is a priori unclear whether the reformulated system is equivalent to the Beris-Edward system. In this work, we prove stability properties of the scheme and show its convergence to a weak solution of the coupled liquid crystal system. We also demonstrate the equivalence of the reformulated and original systems in the weak sense.
Nephrologische Pflege

Published: September 2023

Bei allen pflegerischen Tätigkeiten spielt der Aufbau einer tragfähigen Patientenbeziehung eine wichtige Rolle. Nur durch wesentliche psychologische Grundhaltungen, wie Empathie, kongruente Kommunikation, Berücksichtigung der Autonomie und Respekt kann gegenseitiges Vertrauen entstehen. Ob durch gezielte psychologische Pflegemaßnahmen auch die Lebensqualität von Patienten an der Hämodialyse beeinflusst werden kann, hat eine chinesische Arbeitsgruppe evaluiert.
Shuntinterventionen bei stenosierten Hämodialyseshunts
Authors: Maßmann Alexander , Kraft Leonie , Kollertz Nico , Hammer Inga , Feuerstein Markus , Ketteler Markus , Latus Jörg
Published: September 2023

Klassische Dialyseshunts repräsentieren die wichtigste Lebensader für Patienten, die sich einer dauerhaften Hämodialyse unterziehen müssen. Morbidität und Mortalität sind direkte Folgen der Dysfunktionalität oder des Verschlusses eines Dialyseshunts, wodurch maßgeblich die Lebensqualität der Patienten als auch deren Umfeld beeinträchtigt wird. Die häufigste Ursache für eine Funktionseinschränkung des Hämodialyseshunts ist eine Stenosierung entlang des Shuntverlaufs durch eine Intimahyperplasie. Eine damit meist einhergehende Thrombose kann in der weiteren Beeinträchtigung bis hin zum vollständigen Versagen und der potenziellen Aufgabe des gesamten Shunts resultieren. Funktionell wirksame Stenosen bedürfen einer zeitnahen Abklärung, und Shuntverschlüsse sind als Gefäßnotfall einer umgehenden, wenn möglich endovaskulären, Wiedereröffnung zuzuführen, um eine künftige Shuntfunktionalität zu sichern. Es existieren zahlreiche unterschiedliche Techniken zur perkutanen Rekanalisation. Dabei steht die Entfernung der ggf. ausgedehnten Thrombose im Vordergrund, um die ursächliche Stenose zu demaskieren und damit eine fokussierte Therapie zu ermöglichen. In den letzten Dekaden waren hierfür unterschiedlichste Thrombektomiekatheter verfügbar. Die klassische Ballondilatation ist weiterhin das wichtigste Verfahren zur Wiederherstellung der Shuntfunktionalität. Eine Verbesserung der Offenheitsrate lässt sich durch eine zusätzliche Beschichtung der Ballonoberfläche erreichen, wie es aus der Behandlung von Koronargefäßstenosen bekannt ist. Stents bzw. ummantelte Stents als Stentgraftprothesen werden erst nach mehrfach unzureichendem Behandlungsergebnis oder häufig wiederkehrenden Shuntstenosen bzw. Shuntverschlüssen insbesondere im Bereich des zentralvenösen Gefäßsegments verwendet.
Zukunft der interventionellen Nephrologie
Authors: Kächele Martin , Schröppel Bernd
Published: September 2023

Die große Vielfalt und Komplexität der Themenbereiche des Fachgebietes Nephrologie ist am Beispiel des Dialysezugangs gut zu sehen; interprofessionelles Arbeiten ist deshalb essenziell. Zunehmend mehr und vor allem ältere Dialysepatienten müssen in den kommenden Jahren versorgt werden. Dafür ist es notwendig, die vorhandenen Strukturen und Aufgabenverteilungen zu optimieren. Die Nephrologie kann dabei einen Beitrag leisten, indem einfach durchführbare Eingriffe durch interventionell tätige Ärztinnen und Ärzte übernommen werden. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist die Vorhofkatheteranlage, für die einfach durchführbare Alternativen zur klassischen Anlage unter Durchleuchtung bestehen. Mit diesen Alternativen können in der Gefäßchirurgie und in der interventionellen Radiologie wertvolle Ressourcen geschont und Patienten schnell versorgt werden. Allerdings existieren in Deutschland – im Gegensatz zu anderen Ländern – bisher keine Curricula für die „interventionelle Nephrologie“, die dabei helfen würden, sich in diesem Teilgebiet strukturiert weiterzubilden.

Published: September 2023

Ziel Unsere Studie geht der Frage nach, wie Psychotherapeut:innen die neu
eingeführten Behandlungselemente der Psychotherapiestrukturreform von
2017 umsetzen und beurteilen.

Methoden Wir führten halbstrukturierte Interviews mit
niedergelassenen Psychotherapeut:innen. Die Datenauswertung erfolgte mittels
qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse.

Ergebnisse Insgesamt 37 Stunden Audiomaterial von 41 Psychotherapeut:innen
lagen vor. Es zeigte sich, dass die Akutbehandlung und Rezidivprophylaxe von
Psychotherapeut:innen begrüßt werden. Aufgrund mangelnder
Terminkapazitäten sowie konzeptioneller Barrieren kommen diese jedoch
selten zur Anwendung. Bei der psychotherapeutischen Sprechstunde ergab sich ein
heterogenes Meinungsbild.

Fazit Einzelne Aspekte der psychotherapeutischen Sprechstunde,
Akutbehandlung und Rezidivprophylaxe werden positiv eingeschätzt.
Allerdings können die neuen Behandlungselemente nur
eingeschränkt umgesetzt werden und sind nicht ausreichend, um die
Versorgungslage deutlich zu verbessern.

Published: September 2023

Die Internationale Liga gegen Epilepsie (ILAE) hat in einer Serie von
Positionspapieren erstmals von der ILAE anerkannte Definitionen von
Epilepsiesyndromen zusammenfassend dargestellt. Entsprechend dem Alter bei
Erkrankungsbeginn werden Epilepsiesyndrome eingeteilt in Epilepsiesyndrome mit
Erkrankungsbeginn im Neugeborenen- und Kleinkindalter (≤2 Jahre),
Epilepsiesyndrome mit Erkrankungsbeginn in der Kindheit (2–12 Jahre)
sowie Epilepsiesyndrome mit einem variablen Alter zu Erkrankungsbeginn
(≤18 Jahre und≥19 Jahre). In jeder Altersgruppe erfolgt
gemäß den Anfallsformen eine weitere Unterteilung in
generalisierte, fokale sowie kombiniert generalisierte und fokale Syndrome.
Entwicklungsbedingte und epileptische Enzephalopathien (developmental and
epileptic encephalopathies – DEE) sowie Syndrome mit progressiver
neurologischer Verschlechterung werden als separate Kategorien in allen
Altersgruppen abgehandelt. Ätiologie-spezifische Epilepsiesyndrome sind
Syndrome, bei denen eine spezifische Ätiologie bei den meisten
betroffenen Individuen mit einem klar definierten, relativ uniformen und
umschriebenem klinischen Phänotyp sowie mit konsistenten Befunden im
EEG, in der Bildgebung und/oder in der Genetik assoziiert ist und werden
ebenso in allen Altersgruppen vorgestellt. Die idiopathischen generalisierten
Epilepsien werden unabhängig vom Alter bei Erkrankungsbeginn als eigene
Kategorie zusammengefasst.
Endurance Performance Adaptations between SSG and HIIT in Soccer
Players: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Clemente Filipe Manuel , Moran Jason , Ramirez-Campillo Rodrigo , Beato Marco , Afonso José
Published: September 2023

The objective of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to compare the
endurance performance chronic adaptations induced by running-based
high-intensity interval training (HIIT), small-sided games (SSGs), and combined
HIIT+SSGs in male and female youth and adult soccer players. The studies
included in this review followed the PICOS criteria: (i) healthy soccer players;
(ii) interventions based on SSGs; (iii) comparators exposed to only HIIT or
combined SSGs+HIIT; (iv) endurance performance variables. Studies were
searched for in the following databases: (i) PubMed; (ii) Scopus; (iii)
SPORTDiscus; (iv) Web of Science. After conducting an initial database search
that retrieved a total of 5,389 records, a thorough screening process resulted
in the inclusion of 20 articles that met the eligibility criteria. Sixteen
studies reported outcomes related to endurance performance measured through
field-based tests, while five studies provided results from direct measurements
of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Results showed a non-significant
small-magnitude favoring effect for the HIIT groups compared to the SSG groups
(ES=0.37, p=0.074) for endurance, while a non-significant
small-magnitude favoring SSGs was observed (ES=–0.20,
p=0.303) for VO2max. Despite the very low certainty of
evidence, the findings suggest similar effects induced by both SSG and HIIT on
improving endurance performance and VO2max.

Published: September 2023

Functionalized metallacages have attracted tremendous attention in recent years due to their potential applications in optical sensing, catalysis, and recognition. A novel anthracene-functionalized metallacage was synthesized and characterized in detail by UV/vis spectroscopy, 1D/2D NMR, electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. This metallacage exhibited a specific fluorescence enhancement response to OH–, PO4
3–, and AcO– anions, and further analysis indicated that this was due to anion-induced metallacage disassembly.

2D Fermionic SPT with CRT symmetry
Authors: Ogata Yoshiko
Published: September 2023

An invariant of SPT-phases with on-site finite group G symmetry for two-dimensional Fermion systems is derived in the work of Ogata [Commun. Math. Phys. 395(1), 405–457 (2022)]. This invariant is doubled compared to the conjectured one from the invertible quantum field theory. We show that if we require CRT-symmetry (which holds automatically in quantum field theory) in addition, then our invariant reduces to the conjectured one.
