The Stirring Tropics: The Ubiquity of Moisture Modes and Moisture-Vortex
Authors: Mayta Victor , Adames Corraliza Ángel
Published: March 2023

Observationsofcolumnwatervaporinthetropicsshowsignificantvariationsinspaceandtime,indicatingthatitisstrongly influenced by the passage of weather systems. It is hypothesized that many of the influencing systems are moisture modes, systems whose thermodynamics are governed by moisture. On the basis of four objective criteria, results suggest that all oceanic convectively-coupled tropical depression-like waves (TD-waves) and equatorial Rossby waves are moisture modes. These modes occur where the horizontal column moisture gradient is steep and not where the column water vapor content is high. Despite geographical basic state differences, the moisture modes are driven by the same mechanisms across all basins. The moist static energy (MSE) anomalies propagate westward by horizontal moisture advection by the trade winds. Their growth is determined by the advection of background moisture by the anomalous meridional winds and anomalous radiative heating. Horizontal maps of column moisture and 850 hPa streamfunction show that convection is partially collocated with the low-level circulation in nearly all the waves. Both this structure and the process of growth indicate that the moisture modes grow from moisture-vortex instability. Lastly, space-time spectral analysis reveals that column moisture and low-level meridional winds are coherent and exhibit a phasing that is consistent with a poleward latent energy transport. Collectively, these results indicate that moisture modes are ubiquitous across the tropics. That they occur in regions of steep horizontal moisture gradient.
The Future of Developed Barrier Systems - Part I: Pathways Toward Uninhabitability, Drowning, and Rebound
Authors: Anarde Katherine , Moore Laura , Murray Brad , Reeves Ian
Published: March 2023

Developed barrier systems (barrier islands and spits) are lowering and narrowing with sea-level rise (SLR) such that habitation will eventually become infeasible or prohibitively expensive in its current form. Before reaching this state, communities will make choices to modify the natural and built environment to reduce relatively short-term risk. Simulations conducted using a new coupled modeling framework show that, over decades to centuries, measures to protect roadways and communities alter the physical characteristics of barrier systems in ways that ultimately limit their habitability. We find that the pathway toward uninhabitability (via roadway drowning or community narrowing) and future system states (drowning or rebound) depends largely on dune management – because building dunes blocks overwash delivery to the barrier interior – and on initial conditions (barrier elevation and width). In the model, barriers can become lower and narrower with SLR to the point of drowning. The timing and occurrence of barrier drowning depends on randomness in the timing and intensity of storms and dune recovery processes. We find that under a constant rate of SLR, negative feedbacks involving storms can allow barriers that do not drown to rebound toward steady-state geometries within decades after management practices cease.
The Role of Diffusivity Changes on The Pattern of Warming in Energy Balance Models
Authors: Chang Chiung-Yin , Merlis Timothy
Published: March 2023

Atmospheric macroturbulence transports energy down the equator-to-pole gradient. This is represented by diffusion in energy balance models (EBMs), and EBMs have proven valuable to understanding and quantifying the pattern of surface temperature change. They typically assume climate-state independent diffusivity, chosen to well represent the current climate, and find that this is sufficient to emulate warming response in general circulation models (GCMs). Here, we examine the role that changes in diffusivity play in the large-scale equator-to-pole contrast in surface warming in EBMs, motivated by theories for polar amplified warming. New analytic theories for two formulations of climate-state dependent diffusivity successfully capture the results of numerical EBM solutions. While existing GCM studies do not agree on the sign of simulated diffusivity changes with warming, they have never found enough diffusivity reduction to eliminate polar amplified warming. For reasonable choices of parameter values, the success of the new analytic theories reveals why.
Unattractive, corrupted, and culpable feared self-themes: Expanding our understanding of self-concept in relation to eating pathology
Authors: Wilson Samantha , Acar Muge , Hirji Ruqayya , Racine Sarah Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

There is growing support for fear of self as a transdiagnostic construct implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and eating disorders. However, few studies have examined how perceived proximity to a feared self may be associated with the relationship between fear of self and eating pathology. A community sample of women (N = 290) completed an online questionnaire battery. Eating pathology was positively associated with the feared unattractive self and, to a lesser extent, with feared corrupted and culpable selves, suggesting the relevance of a range of feared selves in eating pathology. There was a significant interaction between fear of the unattractive self and perceived proximity to this feared self (operationalized as ‘feeling fat’) in relation to eating pathology.
On the Consistent Construction of Forced-Choice Ipsative Tests
Authors: Vaughan Martin Paul , Demes Kali A , Glowinkowski Steve P
Published: March 2023

The need for consistent construction of ipsative tests is highlighted to avoid the introduction of hard-coded `errors-by-design'. A set of necessary criteria for consistent construction, apparently widely overlooked in the literature, is found and recommended. It is shown that for ipsative tests involving P scales with more than M=2 comparisons per item, the consistent combinations of P and M are in fact few and far between for tests with a manageable numbers of items. The introduction of errors through badly designed scoring methods is also illustrated and explained via analysis.
How type and workload of internal tasks affect voluntary saccades in a target-distractor saccade task
Authors: Walcher Sonja , Korda Ziva , Körner Christof , Benedek Mathias
Published: March 2023

When we engage in internally directed cognition, like doing mental arithmetic or mind wandering, fewer cognitive resources are assigned for other activities like reacting to perceptual input - an effect termed perceptual decoupling. However, the exact conditions under which perceptual decoupling occurs and its underlying cognitive mechanisms are still unclear. Hence, the present study systematically manipulated the task type (arithmetic, visuospatial) and workload (control, low, high) of the internal task and tested its effects on voluntary saccades in a target-distractor saccade task. As expected, engagement in internal tasks delayed saccades to the target. This effect was moderated by time, task, and workload: The delay was largest right after internal task onset and then decreased, potentially reflecting the intensity of internal task demands. Saccades were also more delayed for the high compared to the low workload condition in the arithmetic task, whereas workload conditions had similarly high effects in the visuospatial task. Findings suggests that perceptual decoupling of eye behavior gradually increases with internal demands on general resources and that perceptual decoupling is specifically sensitive to internal demands on visuospatial resources. The latter may be mediated by interference due to eye behavior elicited by the internal task itself. Internal tasks did not affect the saccade latency-deviation trade-off, indicating that while the internal tasks delayed the execution of the saccade, the perception of the saccade stimuli and spatial planning of the saccade continued unaffected in parallel to the internal tasks. Together, these findings shed further light on the specific mechanisms underlying perceptual decoupling by suggesting that perceptual decoupling of eye behavior increases as internal demands on cognitive resources overlap more strongly with demands of the external task.
Using machine learning to study effect heterogeneity in large-scale policy interventions: The Dutch decentralisation of the Social Domain
Authors: Verhagen Mark D.
Published: March 2023

There is lively discussion regarding the potential and pitfalls of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for public policy. This debate tends to focus on replacing human decision-making with (semi-)automated processes and the unique challenges such applications pose for policymakers and society more generally. As this paper argues, particularly ML could be used in a more direct and less controversial way: to improve policy analysis and inform evidence-based policymaking. ML methods can be used to identify sub-groups in a population that differ in their policy effect in a data-driven way, which might otherwise be missed in standard policy analysis. In doing so, a more complete picture of a policy’s impact on a population can be obtained. I illustrate how ML can complement our understanding of policy interventions by studying the nationwide 2015 decentralisation of the social domain in The Netherlands. This policy intervention delegated responsibilities to administer social care from the national to the municipal level. Using ML methods on entire population data in The Netherlands, I find the policy induced strongly heterogeneous effects that include evidence of local capture and strong urban/rural divides. Findings that are crucial for policymakers to assess whether the policy had the desired outcome.
Bank-Specific as Basis of Banking Sector Development: An ARDL Approach
Authors: Gwachha Krishna Prasad
Published: March 2023

This study aims to examine the bank-specific factors and banking sector development in Nepal by using the ARDL approach technique with economic time series data ranging from 1995 to 2020. The study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to avoid the spurious regression problem in the construction of contemporary time series econometrics. The study depends on the co-integration analysis to find out the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables of the model. Banking sector development is measured by the arithmetic average of the normalized values of banking depth, banking efficiency, and banking stability. This study reveals that banking trade has positive and significant influenced the banking sector development in line with theoretical predictions. Electronic banking and liquidity have a positive and statistically significant role to explain banking sector development in Nepal. In addition, it demonstrates that non-performing loans has a negatively and significantly influenced banking sector development whilst branch network has a marginally negative but insignificant impact on banking sector development. This study reveals implications for policymakers as it sheds light on the importance of raising deposits and lending policies and focused on electronic banking. The authorities of a financial institution should be implied to build systems and skills in liquidity management, assets and liability management, and branch networking management to enhance the banking sector's development.
A classroom alternative to simulate radioactive decay of nuclei
Authors: López Cruz E. , Vázquez López Carlos
Published: March 2023

In this work we present a classroom alternative to simulate radioactive decay of nuclei. It consists of a game in which the students in a classroom are invited to participate in a kind of lottery. The students (around 45 in a typical classroom) take 20 “tickets” numbered at random from 1 to 50. As a whole we have 900 initial “tickets”. Then one student is asked to give a random number between 1 and 50 (for example 34) and the teacher gives a range of numbers from 34 to 38 or 30 to 34. The students cross the numbers in their list that coincide with the numbers given by the teacher. These numbers are the “lucky” ones and represent “nuclei” which decay, then someone gives another number and the process is repeated and the number of “lucky” tickets put in a list. Repetition of the process gives a sequence of numbers which are the number of “nuclei” survivingas the time goes on. The nuclei decaying are considered as stable ones. A plot of the surviving “nuclei” as a function of time (number of times the students are asked to cross the lucky numbers) gives a typical exponential decay. When one considers the case of nuclei A decaying into nuclei B decaying to nuclei C and this one is a stable one, using the corresponding differential equations one obtains the normal curves of nuclei as a function of time.
The importance of relevant criteria of selection in ensuring the success of the national selection systems in athletics: A review
Authors: PREDESCU Alına Ionela , MİHĂİLESCU Liliana
Published: March 2023

Scientific selection represents one of the most important concerns of contemporary sports, as evidenced by the major world investments made in order to identify unique combinations of physical and mental potential and abilities that can be developed towards human biological limits. Some countries have developed complex systems and programs aimed at identifying and especially transforming sports potential into performance, emphasizing the need to develop potentially talented performers and not just to early identify them. The critical analysis of the Romanian selection system in athletics highlights the shortcomings and allows corrections to be outlined. Athletics in particular is a complex sports discipline that requires a multitude of psychomotor and coordinative skills such as rhythm, tempo, balance, segmental coordination, space orientation, and laterality, skills recommended to be detected from the initial phase of the selection in order to foresee the motor endowment of the child and to guide him accordingly. The purpose of this review was to examine the discrepancies between the Romanian selection system in athletics and other successful national systems in order to emphasize the necessity of new perspectives regarding the selection criteria, which need to be relevant in detecting skills in the area of psychomotricity and coordination.
Forming innovative clonal rootstocks for varieties of the genus Cerasus Mill. (Prunus cerasus L.)
Authors: Kovalenko N. N.
Published: March 2023

The paper considers the main problems and solutions reported in literature concerning the formation and use of clonal rootstocks for cherry varieties in Russia, Europe and America. Examples of certain species are given (Cerasus fruticosa Pall., C.incisa Thunb., C.canescens (Bois) Erem. et Yushev, C.pseudocerasus Fr. Schmidt.), which were previously involved in hybridization for forming clonal rootstock of stone fruit crop. Following the performed research, the authors propose an approach to forming innovative vegetatively propagated rootstocks for species of the genus Cerasus Mill. (cherry, sweet cherry, Oriental cherry) based on distant hybridization and using germ preselection and cultivation in vitro. The obtained results confirm the importance of including previously selected sources and donors in the breeding process for forming clonal rootstocks with the following essential features: resistance to adverse environmental factors, low and high air temperatures, main harmful diseases – coccomycosis (causative agent Coccomyces hiemalis Higg.), monilial burn (Monilia cinerea Bon.), clasterosporiosis (Clasterosporium carpophilum Aderch.), and easy rooting of shoots (rooting ability). Such sources were isolated from collection representatives of cherry species: C.sachalinensis (Fr. Schm.) Komar. et Klob.-Alis. – 49 specimens, C.serrulata (Lindl.) G. Don. – 35, C.kurilensis (Miyabe) Kaban et Vorobiev – 43, (C.maximowiczii (Rupr.) Komar) – 34, C.lannesiana Carr – 4. The above forms, selected for breeding traits for the rootstock, were used for hybridization. Forms were isolated from F1 hybrid progeny from crossing them with sweet cherry (both forward and backward), and 25 F2 hybrids were obtained from all representatives. Germ cultivation in vitro enabled the breeding process to be accelerated by 2–3 years, and micropropagation of hybrid clones in vitro, transfer of microplants ex vitro and their subsequent cultivation in vivo under laboratory conditions enabled the necessary amount of breeding plant material (75 hybrids and 650 clones) to be obtained for further tests in a nursery.

Authors: Beaudreault Cameron P. , Spirollari Eris , Naftchi Alexandria F. , Sukul Vishad , Das Ankita , Vazquez Sima , Wolf Steven M. , McGoldrick Patricia E. , Muh Carrie R.
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of combined active responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapies in pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

METHODS

A single-center retrospective chart review was conducted on pediatric patients implanted with the RNS System with a concomitant active VNS System (VNS+RNS) between 2015 and 2021. Patients with at least 1 month of overlapping concomitant VNS and RNS treatment were included. Patients who had an RNS device implanted after 21 years of age, those who had responsive neurostimulators implanted after their VNS was inactivated, or those in whom the VNS battery died and was not replaced before RNS System implantation were excluded.

RESULTS

Seven pediatric VNS+RNS patients were identified, and their courses of treatment were evaluated. All patients tolerated concurrent VNS and RNS treatment well, no device-device interactions were identified, and no major treatment-related adverse effects were noted. The median follow-up after RNS System implantation was 1.2 years. By electroclinical criteria, all 7 patients achieved 75%–99% reductions in the frequency of disabling seizures after RNS System implantation. By patient and caregiver report, 2 patients (28.6%) had 75%–99% reductions in the frequency of their disabling seizures, 2 patients (28.6%) achieved 50%–74% reductions, 2 patients achieved 1%–24% reduction in frequency of disabling seizures, and 1 patient (14.3%) experienced a 1%–24% increase in seizure frequency. The available VNS magnet swipe data identified 2 patients with 75%–99% reductions in seizure frequency as measured by magnet swipes, one with 25%–49% reductions and the other with 1%–24% increases in seizure frequency as measured by magnet swipes.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated that RNS and VNS therapies can safely be used simultaneously in pediatric patients. RNS may potentially augment the therapeutic effects of VNS treatment. Patients in whom a response to VNS has been suboptimal should still be considered for RNS therapy.
Analysis of recovery trajectories in degenerative cervical myelopathy to facilitate improved patient counseling and individualized treatment recommendations
Authors: Jaja Blessing N. R. , Witiw Christopher D. , Harrington Erin M. , He Yingshi , Moghaddamjou Ali , Fehlings Michael G. , Wilson Jefferson R.
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

There is a need to better understand and predict postsurgical outcomes for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) patients, particularly to support treatment decisions for patients with mild DCM. The goal of this study was to identify and predict outcome trajectories for DCM patients up to 2 years postsurgery.

METHODS

The authors analyzed two North American multicenter prospective DCM studies (n = 757). Functional recovery and physical health component quality of life were assessed in DCM patients at baseline, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years postoperatively using the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score and Physical Component Summary (PCS) of the SF-36, respectively. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify recovery trajectories for mild, moderate, and severe DCM. Prediction models for recovery trajectories were developed and validated in bootstrap resamples.

RESULTS

Two recovery trajectories were identified for the functional and physical components of quality of life: good recovery and marginal recovery. Depending on outcome and myelopathy severity, one-half to three-fourths of the study patients followed the good recovery trajectory characterized by improvement in mJOA and PCS scores over time. The remaining one-half to one-fourth of patients followed the marginal recovery trajectory, experiencing little improvement and, in certain cases, worsening postoperatively. The prediction model for mild DCM had an area under the curve of 0.72 (95% CI 0.65–0.80), with preoperative neck pain, smoking, and posterior surgical approach noted as dominant predictors of marginal recovery.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgically treated DCM patients follow distinct recovery trajectories in the first 2 years postoperatively. While most patients experience substantial improvement, a significant minority experience little improvement or worsening. The ability to predict DCM patient recovery trajectories in the preoperative setting facilitates the formulation of individualized treatment recommendations for patients with mild symptoms.

Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

Increasing life expectancy has led to an older population. In this study, the authors analyzed complications and outcomes in elderly patients following spinal cord injury (SCI) using the established multi-institutional prospective study Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in SCI (TRACK-SCI) database collected in the Department of Neurosurgical Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco.

METHODS

TRACK-SCI was queried for elderly individuals (≥ 65 years of age) with traumatic SCI from 2015 to 2019. Primary outcomes of interest included total hospital length of stay, perioperative complications, postoperative complications, and in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included disposition location, and neurological improvement based on the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade at discharge. Descriptive analysis, Fisher’s exact test, univariate analysis, and multivariable regression analysis were performed.

RESULTS

The study cohort consisted of 40 elderly patients. The in-hospital mortality rate was 10%. Every patient in this cohort experienced at least 1 complication, with a mean of 6.6 separate complications (median 6, mode 4). The most common complication categories were cardiovascular, with a mean of 1.6 complications (median 1, mode 1), and pulmonary, with a mean of 1.3 (median 1, mode 0) complications, with 35 patients (87.5%) having at least 1 cardiovascular complication and 25 (62.5%) having at least 1 pulmonary complication. Overall, 32 patients (80%) required vasopressor treatment for mean arterial pressure (MAP) maintenance goals. The use of norepinephrine correlated with increased cardiovascular complications. Only 3 patients (7.5%) of the total cohort had an improved AIS grade compared with their acute level at admission.

CONCLUSIONS

Given the increased frequency of cardiovascular complications associated with vasopressor use in elderly SCI patients, caution is warranted when targeting MAP goals in these patients. A downward adjustment of blood pressure maintenance goals and prophylactic cardiology consultation to select the most appropriate vasopressor agent may be advisable for SCI patients ≥ 65 years of age.

Published: March 2023

Indonesia launched a program to improve the quality of human resources (HR) as a driving factor for competitiveness. Universities have an important role in producing quality human resources and for this to occur, good lecturer performance is also needed. In fact, the performance of human resources educators in Indonesia has not been as expected. Performance is the result of work both in quantity, quality, and the influence is multifactorial. Therefore, this research aims to obtain these factors, so that it can help educational institutions, especially medical study programs, in taking policies that can improve lecturer performance. This research was conducted by interviewing 20 medical lecturers with three stages, namely the first stage: identification of variables, the second stage: identification of variable relationships and the third stage of analysis of the results of the first and second stages with MICMAC analysis.

BACKGROUND: This study examines the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions and individual motivations and the mediation of individual motivations in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions. METHODS: We tested 374 questionnaire samples using quantitative research methods. We used PLS-SEM and mediation analyses to analyze the data. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: First, the findings show that entrepreneurship education positively affects individual motivations of entrepreneurial intentions, personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and need for achievement. Second, subjective norms and the need for achievement did not impact entrepreneurial intentions compared to personal attitudes and perceived behavior. Finally, we found that while personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control mediated the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, subjective norms and the need for achievement had no effect. The study contributes to the literature and provides policy and managerial implications for macro and micro factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions in transition economies.
