РЕЗЮМЕ. У статті представлено матеріали дослідження змін психологічних характеристик студентів під час війни.

Мета – дослідити зміни психологічних характеристик за тестом FPI форма B у студентів IV–V курсів медичного факультету через тиждень і через рік від початку війни.

Матеріал і методи. Проведено обстеження 30 чоловіків і 30 жінок віком 20–22 роки, які є студентами IV–V курсів Тернопільського національного медичного університету імені І. Я. Горбачевського. Перше анкетування проведено 3 березня 2022 року, друге – 24 лютого 2023 року. Психологічне обстеження проведено за допомогою Фрайбурзького особистісного опитувальника FPI форма B. Перед початком кожного тестування студентів інформували про умови його проведення і методики, які будуть використовуватися, їм надавали гарантії нерозголошення отриманої інформації, що відповідає принципам інформаційної згоди.

Результати. Відповідно до отриманих досліджень виявлено, що у жінок під час другого анкетування, порівняно з першим, достовірно зменшилися показники за шкалами: спонтанна агресивність (на 18,0 %), депресивність (на 15,1 %), сором’язливість (24,9 %), відкритість (20,2 %) та емоційна лабільність (16,8 %), зросли – товариськість (92,2 %), урівноваженість (27,9 %) та маскулінність/фемінність (31,6 %). У чоловіків достовірно зменшилися невротичність (на 20,9 %), спонтанна агресивність (на 22,2 %), дратівливість (на 33,1 %), реактивна агресивність (на 29,4 %), зросли – урівноваженість (на 26,8 %) і відкритість (на 34,5 %).

Висновки. Результати психологічних досліджень студентів за 03.03.2022 та 24.02.2023 показали, що молодь повернула всі звичні захисні механізми, адаптувалася та відновила психологічний ресурс. Психоемоційний стан студентів стабілізувався. Отже, війна спровокувала стадію резистентності загального адаптаційного стрес-синдрому, при якому нервова система змогла виробити достатню кількість ресурсів для того, щоб впоратися зі стресом.
МІСЦЕ ІНГІБІТОРІВ SGLT2 ТА L-КАРНІТИНУ В ЛІКУВАННІ ХВОРИХ ІЗ ГКС (STEMI) НА ТЛІ ЦУКРОВОГО ДІАБЕТУ 2 ТИПУ

Published: July 2023

РЕЗЮМЕ. Інсулінорезистентність (ІР) відіграє істотну роль у розвитку серцево-судинних захворювань і має несприятливий прогностичний вплив на перебіг гострого інфаркту міокарда (ГІМ) внаслідок прямого проатерогенного ефекту та метаболізм-пошкоджувального впливу на скоротливу функцію міокарда.

Мета – оцінка ефективності лікування хворих на ГКС (STEMI) в поєднанні з ЦД2 шляхом включення до складу протокольної програми терапії курсу парентерального застосування L-карнітину – карнівіту та інгібітора SGLT2 дапагліфлозину. 

Матеріал і методи. Обстежено 85 хворих на ГКС (STEMI), який розвинувся на тлі ЦД2. Пацієнтів поділили на три групи: 1 групу склали 25 хворих, які після проведення ПКВ отримували протокольне медикаментозне лікування, 2 дослідну групу склали 28 осіб, які додатково отримували карнівіт (2,0 г) у формі внутрішньовенних вливань, 3 групу склали 32 особи, яким додатково призначали дапагліфлозин (10 мг/добу). Контрольну групу склали 20 практично здорових волонтерів без серцево-судинної патології. Діагноз ГКС (ІМ) верифікували згідно з рекомендаціями ESC (2018), а ЦД2 – згідно з АDAiIDF (2010). Наявність інсулінорезистентності (ІР) оцінювали за рівнем індексу HOMA-IR.

Результати. У більшості коморбідних пацієнтів (ГКС+ЦД2) (87,5 %) був ускладнений перебіг ІМ, причиною якого стали метаболічні (енергетичні) зміни в міокарді та коронарних судинах унаслідок додаткових впливів інсулінорезистентності, гіперглікемії та гіперінсулінемії. Про порушення вуглеводневого обміну у цих коморбідних хворих свідчать гіперглікемія та підвищення індексу НОМА. Корекція виявлених порушень гемодинаміки шляхом застосування аргінін/карнітинової суміші сприяла зменшенню постінфарктного ремоделювання серця, зростанню ФВ (на 7 %) і зниженню частоти ускладнень, загрозливих для життя, а комплексне лікування з додатковим включенням дапагліфлозину суттєво покращувало порушений вуглеводневий обмін та знижувало рівень ІР.

Висновки. У хворих на інфаркт міокарда в поєднанні з цукровим діабетом 2 типу у вихідному стані розвивається виражена інсулінорезистентність з порушенням вуглеводного обміну та зниженням систоло-діастолічної функції серця, які є тригерами для розвитку ускладненого перебігу даної коморбідної патології. Комплексне лікування з включенням карнітину та дапагліфлозину у цих коморбідних хворих сприяло відновленню чутливості тканин до інсуліну, покращенню вуглеводного обміну і достовірному зниженню частоти життєво небезпечних ускладнень.
СТАН КЛІТИННОЇ ТА ГУМОРАЛЬНОЇ ЛАНОК ІМУННОЇ СИСТЕМИ КРОЛІВ З МЕХАНІЧНОЮ НЕПРОНИКАЮЧОЮ ТРАВМОЮ РОГІВКИ ТА ЗА ЇЇ КОРЕКЦІЇ З ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ СТРОМИ КСЕНОРОГІВКИ, ОТРИМАНОЇ МЕТОДОМ ДЕЦЕЛЮЛЯРИЗАЦІЇ

РЕЗЮМЕ. У роботах ряду науковців вказується на важливу роль імунної системи у патогенезі запального процесу травмованого ока, зокрема доведено, що виникнення і динаміка реакцій клітинного імунітету тісно пов’язані з характером перебігу захворювання.

Мета дослідження – вивчити динаміку показників гуморального та клітинного імунітету в крові кролів за умови механічної непроникаючої травми рогівки та за її корекції з використанням строми рогівки, отриманої методом децелюляризації.

Матеріал і методи. Ушкодження рогівки відтворювали на кролях породи шиншила. На обох очах під місцевою епібульбарною анестезією 0,5 % розчином алкаїну та ретробульбарною анестезією 2 % розчином лідокаїну трепаном у верхній половині рогівки наносили концентричну епітеліальну насічку, в межах якої одноразовим офтальмологічним скальпелем видаляли епітелій разом з переднім шаром строми рогівки. Трансплантаційний матеріал – строма ксенорогівки свині, отримана методом децелюляризації, яку проводили шляхом її обробки 0,5 % розчином додецилсульфату натрію та, в подальшому, ультразвуком з подальшою інкубацією за наявності 0,1 % розчину папаїну. Концентрацію фактора імуноглобулінів у крові тварин визначали імуноферментним методом, стан клітинного імунітету оцінювали за вмістом CD4+, CD8+. Проби аналізували на проточному цитофлуориметрі.

Результати. Результати проведеного дослідження вказують на відмінності динаміки рівня факторів імунного захисту у крові кролів, яким моделювали механічну непроникну травму рогівки, і тих тварин, яким проводили хірургічну корекцію. Зокрема, моделювання механічної травми рогівки призводить до активування факторів гуморального імунітету у ранній посттравматичний період з подальшою нормалізацією до 28-ї доби та виразного порушення клітинного імунітету у вигляді дисбалансу субпопуляційного складу Т-лімфоцитів з переважним зростанням Т-хелперів і прогресивним збільшенням імунорегуляторного індексу.

Проведення хірургічної корекції з використанням еквівалента строми ксенорогівки, отриманої методом децелюляризації, на початкових етапах патологічного процесу спричиняє більш виразні порушення з боку імунної системи, спричинені, з одного боку, травмою рогівки, а з іншого – наявністю стороннього субстрату, хоча й із меншим ступенем імуногенності, ніж при використанні свіжої чи кріоконсервованої рогівки. Однак, вже через 14 днів спостерігається нормалізація імунної відповіді, що свідчить про нормальне приживлення ксенотрансплантата.

Висновок. Нанесення механічної травми рогівки супроводжується активізацією факторів гуморальної та клітинної ланок імунної відповіді, особливо на початковому етапі патологічного процесу. Проведення хірургічної корекції з використанням строми рогівки свині, отриманої методом децелюляризації, зумовлює ще більшу активацію неспецифічної резистентності організму у перші 7 діб експерименту з подальшою їх нормалізацією до 28-ї доби.

Sistema Integrado de Bibliotecas da Universidade de São Paulo-SIBi/USP foi forjado com o objetivo de "criar condições para o funcionamento sistêmico das Bibliotecas da USP, a fim de oferecer suporte ao desenvolvimento do ensino e pesquisa". Ao longo de seu desenvolvimento, diversas inovações em tratamento da informação, catálogo online e serviços aos usuários, O SIBi/USP toma-se um modelo de Sistema Integrado de Biblioteca Universitária para o Brasil e América Latina. Em 1997, toma-se membro do WorldCat, o maior catálogo internacional de registros informacionais localizado no Online Computer Library Center, Ohio e é convidado pela Library of Congress dos Estados Unidos para assumir a responsabilidade pela entrada de autores brasileiros naquele catálogo. A essa trajetória somam-se novos projetos de valor agregado: a FAPESP introduz os Programas de Infra-estrutura de Pesquisa - Fases II, III e IV o "módulo bibliotecas", possibilitando no âmbito do Estado de São Paulo e, consequentemente no da USP, ampliar o processo de atualização de suas bibliotecas. Nesse cenário, destacam-se os estudos referentes a: a) Digitalização de dissertações/teses defendidas na USP e de obras especiais/raras dos acervos da Universidade; b) Qualidade do Banco DEDALUS, com a integração com os sistemas corporativos; c) Tomar o Banco DEDALUS uma fonte de catalogação cooperativa no País; d) Expansão das atividades do Catálogo Coletivo de Livros do Estado de São Paulo, com compartilhamento de recursos de informação via Internet. Assim, o tema deste Caderno de Estudos representa uma contribuição valiosa a todo o trabalho em realização. Reflete, especialmente, o resultado do desenvolvimento profissional dos bibliotecários do Sistema, que participaram do Curso de Especialização em Sistemas Automatizados em Informação Científica e Tecnológica entre 1998 e 1999.
O apetite da antropologia, o sabor antropofágico do saber antropológico: alteridade e identidade no caso Tupinambá
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo. Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas, Agnolin Adone
Published: July 2023

Este livro constitui o resultado de um percurso de pesquisa conduzido durante o Doutorado realizado junto ao curso de Sociologia da Faculdade de Filosofia Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade de São Paulo, percurso finalizado em novembro de 1998, sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Lísias Nogueira Negrão. Sendo que o itinerário de sua publicação fez jus aos labirintos de sua elaboração, foi mantido essencialmente na sua estrutura e no seu conteúdo então desenvolvidos, com apenas a necessária revisão do texto e pequenos reajustes, além da atualização das citações. Pelo fato de reconhecer a importância do dado cultural no que diz respeito à alimentação do homem, a Antropologia se apresenta como perspectiva de análise imprescindível. Por outro lado, ela constituirá o esboço de um estudo crítico sobre sua própria caraterística de compreensão/digestão da alteridade cultural. Além do mais, a colocação da antropofagia ritual (“sagrada”) no centro de nosso trabalho nos impõe o ponto de vista de uma metodologia de estudo histórico-religiosa. A utilidade dessa perspectiva de estudos está toda contida na adjetivação “ritual”, que acompanha esta específica forma de antropofagia. Trata-se, consequentemente, de esclarecer esses termos/conceitos, muitas vezes assumidos de forma acrítica, aos quais a escola histórico-religiosa tem dedicado tanta atenção, oferecendo uma significativa contribuição/problematização aos estudos históricos e antropológicos contemporâneos. Está além do nosso alcance e fora do nosso objetivo relatar a história da Antropologia ou da alimentação e de seus rituais, entre os quais se encontraria o canibalismo. Trata-se, pelo contrário, de um percurso de e nos confins/margens na dimensão de um espaço comum à Antropologia e à alimentação – tendo o canibalismo como fio condutor – e, com elas, à História das Religiões.
Chinese Idiom Paraphrasing

Published: July 2023

Idioms are a kind of idiomatic expression in Chinese, most of which consist of four Chinese characters. Due to the properties of non-compositionality and metaphorical meaning, Chinese idioms are hard to be understood by children and non-native speakers. This study proposes a novel task, denoted as Chinese Idiom Paraphrasing (CIP). CIP aims to rephrase idiom-containing sentences to non-idiomatic ones under the premise of preserving the original sentence’s meaning. Since the sentences without idioms are more easily handled by Chinese NLP systems, CIP can be used to pre-process Chinese datasets, thereby facilitating and improving the performance of Chinese NLP tasks, e.g., machine translation systems, Chinese idiom cloze, and Chinese idiom embeddings. In this study, we can treat the CIP task as a special paraphrase generation task. To circumvent difficulties in acquiring annotations, we first establish a large-scale CIP dataset based on human and machine collaboration, which consists of 115,529 sentence pairs. In addition to three sequence-to-sequence methods as the baselines, we further propose a novel infill-based approach based on text infilling. The results show that the proposed method has better performance than the baselines based on the established CIP dataset.
Vocal repertoire of wild Andean night monkeys (Aotus lemurinus) in an Andean forest in Colombia

Published: July 2023

Vocal communication is particularly important for nocturnal species as well as those living in dense forests, where visual abilities can be somewhat constrained. The Andean night monkey (Aotus lemurinus) is a nocturnal American primate living in mountain forests in the Northern Andes with scant information on its behavior and ecology. The main goal of this study is to describe the vocal repertoire of a group of wild Andean night monkeys and compare it with earlier bioacoustics studies on the only nocturnal platyrrhines. We recorded the vocal behavior of a group of night monkeys living in the eastern Andes of Colombia between August and December 2019. Based on an auditory and a visual inspection of the vocal records, and through a quantitative analysis of the acoustic parameters of the vocalizations, we were able to identify five different calls emitted by the Andean night monkey. Four of these calls are stereotyped while the fifth vocalization (Squeak) is more variable, having different forms. Additionally, one call (Acetate) was found to be unique to this species. The result of this study contributes to the scant information on the ecology and behavior of the Andean night monkey and sets baseline information on the vocal behavior of night monkeys that may be used in future studies on communication of these and other nocturnal primates.

Assembling DNA barcode reference libraries for various taxonomic groups allows researchers to use metabarcoding or environmental DNA approaches to gain a rapid understanding of diversity in given environments. However, our ability to use reference libraries depends on how accurately DNA barcodes are able to recover taxonomic boundaries and identify species, which is rarely considered. We constructed an extensive COI barcoding library for amphibians of the Western Palearctic and successfully recovered barcodes from 60 urodele and 73 anuran species (representing 94% and 98% of the nominal anuran and urodele species in the Western Palearctic, respectively), covering the intraspecific diversity of the majority of species in this region. We tested the effectiveness of our assembled DNA barcode dataset for species identification using barcoding gap, efficiency analyses, and two phylogenetic species delimitation methods. We obtained DNA barcodes for 1251 specimens (691 anurans and 560 urodeles) with a high success rate (92-96%) of species identification. The absence of a barcoding gap in a number of samples was linked to species misidentifications, which suggest incipient speciation or cryptic diversity, or previously described mitochondrial introgression events. The phylogenetic species delimitation methods resulted in substantial oversplitting of currently accepted taxonomy. This COI barcoding library provides an almost complete and reliable reference library for Western Palearctic amphibians. We highlight the importance of generating comprehensive and well curated reference libraries that include intra- and interspecific genetic variability and the need of detailed taxonomic revision when ambiguous or incorrect DNA barcodes exist.
Does the Metaphor Translate?
Authors: Ekström Martin Svensson
Published: July 2023

That the Latin word translatio translates the Greek word metaphora is not a coincidence. Translatio designates two interrelated instances of linguistic “transportation,” one phenomenological and conceptual, the other idiomatic, hermeneutic and intercultural. The person who calls an unsavoury man a swine may be said to ”trans-late,” ”trans-fer,” or carry over a set of perceived characteristics – for example, the inarticulate grunts and filthiness of the animal rolling in mud – from one realm (that of the animal) to another (that of man). In the other kind of translation, the translator carries a literary work over from one linguistic and cultural setting to another.

Let us fuse the two meanings of translatio and inquire into the Aristotelian concept of metaphoraitself. Does it translate into a linguistic, cultural and conceptual setting as different as that of early China? If it does, then under which conditions and circumstances?
Theological Method of Chinese Theology in the Republican Era (1911–1949)
Authors: Feng Jacob Chengwei
Published: July 2023

The underlying framework of Chinese theology began to take shape in the Republican Era (1911–1949). After surveying three crucial contemporary works on Chinese theology, I highlight an urgent need to develop a meticulous theological method that recognizes theology’s contextual nature, conquers the liberal-conservative and elitist-grassroots dichotomous divide, and adapts to the “post-world” in the third millennium. Then I analyze the methodologies adopted by Wang Mingdao and Watchman Nee (Ni Tuosheng) by studying the starting point, orienting questions and sources for their theology. By avoiding a reductionist approach, I designate Wang’s method as ecclesial apologetics and pragmatic ethics, and Nee’s as doctrinal recovery and prophetic fulfillment. The comparison of their method yields some hitherto unnoticed insights which might prove valuable to formulating a contemporary Chinese theology in the third millennium.

Assessing Variations in the Predictive Skill of Ensemble Snowband Forecasts with Object-Oriented Verification and Self-Organizing Maps
Authors: Radford Jacob T. , Lackmann Gary M.
Published: July 2023

We used object-oriented verification and self-organizing maps (SOMs) to identify patterns in environmental parameters correlating with mesoscale snowband predictive skill by the High-Resolution Ensemble Forecast (HREF) system between 2017 and 2022. First, HREF snowband forecasts for 305 banding events were verified based on similarities between forecast and observed feature properties. HREF members performed comparably, demonstrating large positional errors, but the non-time-lagged High-Resolution Rapid Refresh member demonstrated the greatest overall skill. Observed banding events were clustered by 500-hPa geopotential height anomalies, mean sea level pressure, vertical velocity, frontogenesis, and saturation equivalent potential vorticity from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 using SOMs. Clusters reaffirmed the presence of midlevel frontogenesis, ascent, and reduced stability in most banding cases, and the predominant synoptic environments conducive to band development. Clusters were compared to determine whether patterns in the variables were correlated with predictive skill. Strength of upward motion was correlated with skill, with the strongest upward motion cases verifying 10% better than the weakest upward motion cases due to smaller positional error. Additionally, events with a single region of strong upward motion verified better than events with disorganized, but comparably intense, upward motion. The magnitude of frontogenesis was uncorrelated with skill, but events with more upright frontogenesis collocated with the band centroid were better predicted than events with shallower slopes and low-level frontogenesis displaced toward warmer air. The skill variance associated with different vertical motion magnitudes could assist forecasters in modulating forecast confidence, while the most common types of errors documented here may be beneficial to model developers in refining HREF member snowfall forecasts.

Significance Statement

High-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models generally have limited predictive skill for mesoscale snowband forecasts. Even so, some snowbands are forecast by NWP models with much greater skill than others. In this work, we apply artificial intelligence to group snowband events based on atmospheric conditions and then determine whether different groups are easier or harder for models to predict. Identification of these groups could help forecasters know when to trust or be skeptical of NWP output and help developers improve snowband formation processes in NWP models.
Implications of Self-Contained Radiance Bias Correction for Data Assimilation within the Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS)
Authors: Knisely Joseph , Poterjoy Jonathan
Published: July 2023

The Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS) is the next-generation, FV3-based tropical cyclone (TC) forecasting system. Unlike operational implementations of NOAA’s Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast (HWRF) modeling system, current data assimilation (DA) capabilities in HAFS permit the uninterrupted basin-wide assimilation of measurements. This feature of HAFS opens a variety of new research directions for TC prediction, including new strategies for DA algorithm development and self-contained probabilistic forecasting. The present research focuses more narrowly on new opportunities HAFS brings for optimizing the use of satellite measurements for TC prediction. While satellite radiometers provide a wealth of information for characterizing temperature, moisture, and wind in TC environments, the provided measurements are often biased and contain unknown cross-channel error correlations. For mature global modeling systems, these statistics are estimated from information gathered during DA, namely, innovations collected over large spatial and temporal training periods. The estimated statistics, however, are imperfect owing to unknown error sources such as model process error, which are difficult to separate from observation error. As such, bias and uncertainty specifications that rely on information from external models are suboptimal—as is the current strategy for HWRF. In this paper, it will be demonstrated that bias estimation for satellite radiance observations is particularly sensitive to common design choices, such as using a bias model trained from the Global Data Assimilation System instead of within the native modeling system. Implications of this finding for TC prediction are examined over a 6-week period from 2020, which included the development and intensification of nine tropical cyclones.

Significance Statement

Tropical cyclone–focused numerical weather prediction is difficult due to complex nonlinear physical processes and a lack of in situ observations over open ocean. Prediction systems rely heavily on satellite radiance measurements, which have high spatial–temporal resolution over the entire domain but require bias correction. Estimation of observation bias requires long training periods and large spatial domain coverage, which is typically not permitted outside of global models. However, bias specification is strongly model dependent, as bias correction methods cannot easily separate model and observation bias. In this study, we perform satellite radiance bias specification internally for an experimental version of the NOAA Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System and demonstrate major implications for tropical cyclone prediction.
Artisanal or Just Half-Baked: Competing Collective Identities and Location Choice Among French Bakeries
Authors: Dupin Laura , Wezel Filippo Carlo
Published: July 2023

By conceptualizing similarity among firms in terms of overlapping resources, research on location choice has found that similar firms tend to locate far from one another. Yet, a resource-overlap perspective may not always align with decision-makers’ similarity classifications. In this article, we propose that new entrants also perceive firm similarities in terms of collective identities, and we examine how competition between collective identities influences entrants’ choice of location. Our arguments center on the distinction between unaffiliated traditionalists, actors who are loyal to values and practices originally associated with a label and who emphasize autonomy, and affiliated modernists, actors who reinterpret a label using different values and practices and who seek consistency. Analyzing the entry of 177 artisan bakers within the city of Lyon from 1998 to 2017, we find that new entrants locate where prior actors with similar collective identities had located previously. To differentiate through competition, however, some new entrants also tend to prefer locations closer to actors who are encroaching on their collective identity, most evident among traditionalists choosing to locate near modernists. By integrating a collective-identity perspective with location choice, we show how the sociocognitive basis of similarity classification shapes new entrants’ competitive behavior.
Joy and Community in Surgery

My wife Nancy is a voluminous reader of books (you remember the things printed on paper). After 30 years of marriage, it dawned on me that we have never really shared books. Therefore, we decided to try and enrich our marriage by exchanging books. I asked her to pick out five books that she enjoyed and share them with me so that we could talk about them and have them “in common.” Incidentally, when I asked my wife to pre-read this article, she said, “you make me sound like a total downer” based on the books she had given me to read. In all honesty, my wife Nancy is the most positive person I know, and my kids are a direct reflection of her positive energy. While she refuted my initial portrayal of the books she shared as they somehow portrayed her in a non-joyful light, I realized that each of those books challenged me to think about finding joy in non-standard communities.

Old railways, new borders. The impact of treaty of Trianon on Western Transdanubia network (1918–1924)
Authors: Sándor Horváth Csaba
Published: July 2023

The Great War and Trianon opened a new chapter in the history, not only of the Kingdom of Hungary, but also of Western Hungary. Besides dividing up the counties of Sopron, Moson and Vas, the newly re-drawn borders also split up most of the railway lines running within them as well. From the territory sliced from the three counties, the previously non-existent province of Austria, Burgenland, was established in 1922. In many cases, the new demarcation lines followed boundaries of old districts or settlements, but it was rare to find natural boundaries among them. As a result, between the two World Wars, the use of the affected railway tracks began to change similar to several contemporary Central European cases, with the exception of GYSEV (Győr–Sopron–Ebenfurth Railway Company), which could remain in its original form. This research paper aims to examine how the shift of borders in this region affected railway transport. It is based on the local historical literature on the railway, regional history and primary resources.
The Role of Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Intrusive and Deliberate Rumination in the Association Between Insecure Attachment and Prolonged Grief
Authors: Yousefi Shahab , Ashouri Ahmad
Published: July 2023

This study investigated the role of emotion regulation difficulties and intrusive/deliberate rumination in the relationship between insecure attachment and prolonged grief symptoms. A total sample of 342 bereaved participants was included in the study. Both anxious and avoidant attachment styles were found to be associated with prolonged grief symptoms, with an avoidant attachment showing a stronger effect. Emotion regulation difficulties and rumination mediated the relationships between attachment styles and prolonged grief symptoms, supporting the proposed mediation model. The study identified specific mediating pathways for anxious and avoidant attachment styles. Additionally, female gender, higher age, unexpected death, and closeness of the relationship with the deceased were significant predictors of prolonged grief symptoms.

In this study we investigated whether the accuracy of intraset repetitions in reserve (RIR) predictions changes over time. Nine trained men completed three bench press training sessions per week for 6 weeks (following a 1-week familiarization). The final set of each session was performed until momentary muscular failure, with participants verbally indicating their perceived 4RIR and 1RIR. RIR prediction errors were calculated as raw differences (RIRDIFF), with positive and negative values indicating directionality, and absolute RIRDIFF (absolute value of raw RIRDIFF) indicating error scores. We constructed mixed effect models with time (i.e., session) and proximity to failure as fixed effects, repetitions as a covariate, and random intercepts per participant to account for repeated measures, with statistical significance set at p ≤ .05. We observed a significant main effect for time on raw RIRDIFF ( p < .001), with an estimated marginal slope of −.077 repetitions, indicating a slight decrease in raw RIRDIFF over time. Further, the estimated marginal slope of repetitions was −.404 repetitions, indicating a decrease in raw RIRDIFF as more repetitions were performed. There were no significant effects on absolute RIRDIFF. Thus, RIR rating accuracy did not significantly improve over time, though there was a greater tendency to underestimate RIR in later sessions and during higher repetition sets.
Potential effects of brain lipid binding protein in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Authors: Zhou Qi , Kang Qing , Chen Wenzhi , Xu Renshi
Published: July 2023

Current studies suggest that the abnormal alteration of brain lipid binding protein (BLBP) might participate in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the detailed understanding of ALS pathogenesis been yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this research intended to explore the potential effects of BLBP in ALS. The observation and analysis of BLBP-altered features in various anatomical areas and different spinal segments was conducted at the pre-onset, onset, and progression stages of Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur (TG) mice and the same periods of age-matched SOD1 wild-type (WT) mice by fluorescence immunohistochemistry and western blotting. BLBP-positive cells were comprehensively distributed in various spinal anatomical areas, especially in both the anterior and posterior horn, around the central canal and in anterior, lateral, and posterior funiculi. Overall, BLBP expression tended to increase from the pre-onset to the onset to the progression stages of the same periods of age-matched WT mice. Furthermore, in TG mice, BLBP expression in the entire spinal cord significantly increased from onset to the progression stage. BLBP was expressed in neurons, astrocytes, and radial glial cells, and at the early and late stages of neural precursor cells (NPCs) and was predominantly distributed outside the cell nucleus. The increase of BLBP-positive cells was closely related to neural cell reduction in TG mice. The distribution and increased expression of BLBP among the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar segments of the spinal cord might participate in the development of ALS and exert potential effects in the pathogenesis of ALS by regulating NPCs.

Published: July 2023

In this work, ammonium polyacrylate (NH4PAA) thickener was synthesized by the inverse emulsion polymerization method with acrylic acid and ammonia water as the aqueous monomer, C16–C31 n-alkanes (5# white oil) as the continuous phase, Span 80/Tween 80 as composite emulsifiers, and Tween 80 as the phase inversion agent, under the action of ammonium persulfate-sodium bisulfite initiation (APS-NaHSO3) and N, N’-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) crosslinking. Gel permeation chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy provided evidence for the synthesis of NH4PAA, with a molecular weight of 232,000. The carboxylic content and nitrogen content of the NH4PAA thickener are 23.5% and 3.37%, respectively. A response surface analysis and single factor experiment showed that the optimum synthesis conditions of the NH4PAA thickener were pH 6.5, monomer dosage 38.49 wt%, reaction temperature 45.5°C, initiation system APS and NaHSO3 (weight ratio 1:2) 0.34 wt%, MBA dosage 0.15%, and reaction time 3.2 h. The viscosity of the NH4PAA thickener is 15.7 Pa·s (under the condition of using a rotary rheometer for testing, the mass fraction of the thickener is 3 wt%), which exceeded the corresponding viscosity of diPh-2-CUM-O, SAMXG8 reported in the literature and commercial thickeners. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the NH4PAA thickener presented spherical morphology. Dynamic light scattering showed that the particle size was concentrated at 78.8 nm. A rheological test showed that the NH4PAA thickener was a pseudoplastic fluid with good thixotropy. The NH4PAA thickener gave nylon carpet good printability after jet printing. This work provides a theoretical basis for the development of high-quality thickeners for carpets in jet printing.

The Impact of Helping Children with Distance Learning During COVID-19 on U.S. Parents’ Alcohol Consumption
Authors: Grossman Elyse R. , Sonnenschein Susan
Published: July 2023

We examined the impact of distance learning-related parental stress due to COVID-19 on parental alcohol consumption using an online survey in May 2020 with a convenience sample of U.S. adults. This article focuses on the 361 parents who had children under the age of 18 living with them. Seventy-eight percent had children who were engaged in distance learning; 59% reported being stressed because they were not sure how to help their children with distance learning. Stressed parents reported consuming significantly more alcohol and binge drinking more often than parents who were not stressed by distance learning. We hope that public health professionals can use our findings to better target alcohol prevention programs aimed at parents to reduce parental stress, and hopefully, parental alcohol consumption.
Unsupervised acoustic detection of fatigue-induced damage modes from wind turbine blades
Authors: Solimine Jaclyn , Inalpolat Murat
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes a new in-situ damage detection approach for wind turbine blades, which leverages blade-internal non-stationary acoustic pressure fluctuations caused by the mechanical loading as the main source of excitation. This acoustic excitation was leveraged for the detection of fatigue-related damage modes on a full-scale wind turbine blade undergoing edgewise fatigue testing. An unsupervised, data-driven structural health monitoring strategy was developed to learn the normal cavity-internal acoustic sequences generated by the blade’s load cycles and to detect damage-related anomalies in the context of those sequences. A linear cepstral-coefficient based feature set was used to characterize the cavity-internal acoustics and LSTM-autoencoders were trained to accurately reconstruct healthy-case sequences. The reconstruction error was then used to characterize anomalous acoustic patterns within the blade cavity. The technique was able to detect a damage event earlier than a strain-based system by 120,000 load cycles.
Graded Subsidy Policy-Based Equilibrium Strategy Applied to Investment in Electric Vehicle Chargers: A Case Study in Chengdu
Authors: Zhang Wen , Xu Jiuping
Published: July 2023

The Chinese government has released plenty of incentive policies to stimulate the diffusion rate of electric vehicles (EV) and the number of public charging stations, such as charging parking lots (PLs). This paper explores cooperative relationships between regional governments and PL owners in the process of investment in EV charging equipment, and a bi-level optimization model is built to examine their hierarchical relationships. Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions are utilized to solve the NP-hard problem. Five PLs in Chengdu are selected as examples to examine the validity of this model. The optimal allocation decision of the government and the optimal investment decisions of PL owners are concluded through the calculation results. Compared with non-graded subsidies, the priority of the graded subsidy rules is confirmed. In line with the calculation results, subsidies can promote investors to provide more charging services, and a graded allocation rule can maximize the incentive performance of subsidies.

Authors: Krych Aaron J. , Lamba Abhinav , Wang Allen S. , Boos Alexander M. , Camp Christopher L. , Levy Bruce A. , Stuart Michael J. , Hevesi Mario
Published: July 2023

Background:

Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) cause pain and dysfunction and are associated with poor clinical outcomes with nonoperative management at short-term follow-up. However, little is known about the long-term natural history of these tears.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to (1) provide an update to a previous minimum 2-year study on the natural progression of these tears and (2) evaluate long-term patient-reported and radiographic outcomes.

Study Design:

Case series (prognosis); Level of evidence, 4.

Methods:

A retrospective review was performed on a cohort of patients with untreated MMPRTs, diagnosed between 2005 and 2013, who were followed clinically using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), visual analog scale for pain, and Tegner activity scores as well as radiographically at a minimum 10-year follow-up. Failure was defined as conversion to arthroplasty or a severely abnormal subjective IKDC score <75.4.

Results:

Overall, 5 (10%) of the original 52 patients with minimum 2-year outcomes were subsequently lost to follow-up. The remaining 47 patients (21 male, 26 female) were followed for a mean of 14 ± 2 years (range, 11-18 years). At final follow-up, 25 patients (53%) had progressed to total knee arthroplasty, 8 (17%) were deceased, and 14 (30%) had not progressed to total knee arthroplasty. The mean IKDC and Tegner activity scores for the 14 patients with remaining MMPRTs were 51.6 ± 22.2 and 3.1 ± 1.1, respectively, and the mean visual analog scale score was 4.4 ± 3.0. Radiographically, the mean Kellgren-Lawrence grade progressed from 1.2 ± 0.7 at baseline to 2.6 ± 0.5 at final follow-up ( P < .001). At a minimum 10-year follow-up, 37 of 39 living patients (95%) had failed nonoperative treatment.

Conclusion:

Poor clinical and radiographic outcomes were associated with the nonoperative treatment of degenerative MMPRTs at long-term follow-up. This study provides a valuable update on the natural history and long-term prognosis of nonoperatively treated MMPRTs.

Authors: Gibler Douglas M , Miller Steven V
Published: July 2023

We use this article to introduce the Militarized Interstate Events (MIE) dataset, a new dataset for international conflict with a host of innovative features. The MIE data offers dyadic, event-level information for all militarized interstate confrontations from 1816 to 2014, including major wars as well as all threats, displays, and uses of force between two or more states. The data come with major innovations, including dyadic fatality estimates at the event level and recorded events for general conflicts alongside the battles of the wars of the last two centuries. We discuss how to use these conflict data and provide a replication that demonstrates the dataset's usefulness.
