Published: December 2024

IntroductionIn our quasi-experimental study, we evaluated the neurodevelopmental impact of judo on young children (n = 182) aged 4–7 years, specifically focusing on primitive reflex integration. Participants were divided into judo and non-judo control groups, and assessments were conducted over 6 months across Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria.MethodsNeurodevelopmental changes were measured using Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP) and Physical and Neurological Examination for Soft Signs (PANESS) for children, while parents completed the Performance Skills Questionnaire (PSQ).ResultsAnalysis with Repeated Measures ANOVA (significance set at p &lt; 0.05) revealed significant improvements in cognitive and motor performance in judo-practicing children compared to their non-judo counterparts. Furthermore, Spearman correlation analysis revealed that INPP and PANESS were effective in identifying neurodevelopmental changes, PSQ was not suitable as a simplified screening tool for parents, potentially due to its absence of items focused on primitive reflexes.ConclusionDespite the limitations of the study, our findings suggest that judo practice could foster central nervous system (CNS) maturation in young children, promoting the potential inclusion of judo in early childhood education programs.

BackgroundAlthough schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are currently conceptualized as distinct disorders, the similarity in their symptoms often makes differential diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to identify similarities and differences in the symptoms of schizophrenia and ASD to establish a more useful and objective differential diagnostic method and to identify ASD traits in participants with schizophrenia.MethodsA total of 40 participants with schizophrenia (13 females, mean age: 34 ± 11 years) and 50 participants with ASD (15 females, mean age: 34 ± 8 years) were evaluated using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) and other clinical measures.ResultsADOS-2 Module 4 original and revised algorithms did not significantly discriminate schizophrenia and ASD, whereas the “Predictive Model” combining the A7, A10, B1, B6, B8, and B9 showed superior accuracy in differentiating both disorders. Both algorithms in the ADOS-2 had high schizophrenia false-positive rates, and significant positive correlations were observed between all domains and the total scores of both algorithms in the ADOS-2 and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) negative scale scores in the schizophrenia group. The PANSS negative-scale scores were significantly higher in patients positive for autism spectrum cut-offs (CutOff-POS) than in patients negative for autism spectrum cut-offs (CutOff-NEG) for both algorithms in the ADOS-2. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the positivity for both algorithm scales in the ADOS-2 was predicted using only the PANSS negative scale scores.ConclusionsThis study showed that a combination of several items in the ADOS-2 is useful for discriminating between ASD and schizophrenia. The study’s findings could help develop strategies benefiting ASD and schizophrenia treatments.

Published: December 2024

The Luna Analog Facility, a joint ESA-DLR endeavour, consists of three components and spans an area of 1,000 m2, providing testbeds of simulated lunar environments. The main sections within the facility are a large area filled with lunar mare regolith simulant resembling mare regions and a smaller, individual “Dust Chamber”. The latter replicates highland conditions and contains approximately 20 tons of material, specifically simulating the fine-particle lunar regolith portion up to 250 µm. The Dust Chamber serves as a platform for testing various technologies, such as mechanical tools, robotic operations, in-situ resource utilization activities, and astronaut attire, as well as different procedures including rover and astronaut tasks. This work represents the geotechnical, geochemical and mineralogical characterization of the Lumina Sustainable Materials Ltd. 2023 batch highland simulants, from which Lunar250 is intended for use in the Luna Dust Chamber. Additionally, this work provides new results for ESA’s mare simulant, EAC-1. We provide data on particle size distribution, particle shape, abrasivity, density, water content, major and trace element geochemistry and modal mineralogy. As the simulants in the Luna Facility will be constantly overseen, this work organized by the Vulcan Facility (ESA) intends to support the monitoring of the geotechnical property variations of the simulants over time. Ultimately, we analysed several properties with different tools to emphasize how different methods and instruments affect the variability and reliability of the results.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundCanine gastroenteritis (CGE) is a common cause for seeking veterinary care in companion animal medicine and an area where antibiotics have been reported to be widely used. Therefore, creating relevant benchmarks for antibiotic use in CGE is important when implementing and analyzing antibiotic stewardship interventions. The aim of this paper was to describe the level and temporal trend of systemic antibiotic use for CGE in Sweden between 2020 and 2023.Materials and methodsThis was an observational multicenter cohort study. Retrospective data from 93,641 CGE consultations was extracted from the electronic health record and analyzed. All CGE consultations were included irrespective of age, breed, severity of disease and level of care. To evaluate the data, 100 medical records of CGE consultations were also manually reviewed using a predefined study protocol.ResultsThe overall level of systemic antibiotic use in Swedish dogs diagnosed with gastroenteritis was 5.7% during the study period, with aminopenicillins being the most abundantly used antibiotics (60.2%). The yearly level of antibiotic use in CGE declined from 8.1% in 2020 to 3.9% in 2023, with a statistically significant annual percentage change (APC) of −21.3% (95% CI, −22.8 to −19.7). Concurrently, the annual all-cause mortality decreased for all CGE consultations. Higher levels of antibiotic use were seen in hospitalized CGE (21.7% compared to 2.1% for non-hospitalized CGE, OR 13.1, 95% CI: 12.3–14.0, p &lt; 0.001) and hemorrhagic diarrhetic CGE (21.0% compared to 5.5% for non-hemorrhagic diarrhetic CGE, OR 4.6, 95% CI: 4.2–4.9, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionThis study revealed a low level and a significantly declining trend of antibiotic use in canine gastroenteritis in Sweden, implicating a high level of awareness and compliance to antibiotic guidelines among Swedish veterinarians. During the same period, the all-cause mortality rates decreased significantly for all CGE consultations, implicating that this level of antibiotic use do not compromise patient safety. Benefiting from automatic surveillance, we hereby provide important benchmarks which should encourage more prudent use of antibiotics in CGE internationally.

Published: December 2024

The present article aims to significantly improve geometric function theory by making an important contribution to p-valent meromorphic and analytic functions. It focuses on subordination, which describes the relationships of analytic functions. In order to achieve this, we utilize a technique that is based on the properties of differential subordination. This approach, which is one of the most recent developments in this field, may obtain a number of conclusions about differential subordination for p-valent meromorphic functions described by the new operator IHp,q,s j,pν1,n,α,lJ(ζ) within the porous unit disk Δ. Numerous mathematical and practical issues involving orthogonal polynomials, such as system identification, signal processing, fluid dynamics, antenna technology, and approximation theory, can benefit from the results presented in this article. The knowledge and comprehension of the unit’s analytical functions and its interacting higher relations are also greatly expanded by this text.

Published: December 2024

This study presents the design and validation of a numerical method based on an AI-driven ROM framework for implementing stress virtual sensing. By leveraging Reduced-Order Models (ROMs), the research aims to develop a virtual stress transducer capable of the real-time monitoring of mechanical stresses in mechanical components previously analyzed with high-resolution FEM simulations under a wide range of multiple load scenarios. The ROM is constructed through neural networks trained on Finite Element Method (FEM) outputs from multiple scenarios, resulting in a simplified yet highly accurate model that can be easily implemented digitally. The ANN model achieves a prediction error of MAEtest=(0.04±0.06) MPa for the instantaneous mechanical stress predictions, evaluated over the entire range of stress values (0 to 5.32 MPa) across the component structure. The virtual sensor is capable of producing a quasi-instantaneous, detailed full stress map of the component in just 0.13 s using the ROM, for any combination of 4-load inputs, compared to the 6 min and 31 s required by the FEM. Thus, the approach significantly reduces computational complexity while maintaining a high degree of precision, enabling efficient real-time monitoring. The proposed method’s effectiveness is demonstrated through rigorous ROM validation, underscoring its potential for stress control. This precise AI-driven procedure opens new horizons for predictive maintenance strategies centered on stress cycle monitoring.

Higher-order approximations for space-fractional diffusion equation
Authors: Wickramarachchi Anura Gunarathna , Nasir Haniffa  Mohamed 
Published: December 2024

Second-order and third-order finite difference approximations for fractional derivatives are derived from a recently proposed unified explicit form. The Crank-Nicholson schemes based on these approximations are applied to discretize the space-fractional diffusion equation. We theoretically analyse the convergence and stability of the Crank-Nicholson schemes, proving that they are unconditionally stable. These schemes exhibit unconditional stability and convergence for fractional derivatives of order in the range . Numerical examples further confirm the convergence order and unconditional stability of the approximations, demonstrating their effectiveness in practice.

В пределах пологого рельефа Северного Прикаспия установлено наличие маломощного позднечетвертичного гравитационного покрова. Разработаны индикаторы проявления гравитационных кинемато-динамических процессов. Важнейшим результатом исследований явился вывод об их постседиментационном происхождении в парагенезе с высокоскоростными регрессивными событиями Каспия. Созданы модели формирования изученных типов бэровских бугров, важнейшими среди которых явились: будинированные, протрузионные, бугры зон сжатия, а также очагово-сейсмический тип. Предложенная в настоящей статье концепция о строении, морфогенезе и кинематике молодого позднечетвертичного гравитационного покрова может представить интерес для исследователей, изучающих древние аналогичного типа структуры.
The presence of a thin Late Quaternary gravitational cover defined within the shallow relief of the Northern Caspian region. Indicators of gravitational kinematic-dynamic processes are developed. The most important result of the research was the conclusion about their post-sedimentary origin in paragenesis with high-speed regressive events of the Caspian Sea. The studied Baer knolls formation models were developed, the most important: boudinaged, protrusive, knolls of compression zones, as well as focal seismic type. The proposed concept of the structure, morphogenesis, and kinematics of a young Late Quaternary gravitational cover may be useful and interesting for researchers studying similar type ancient geological structures. Keywords: Structure, morphogenesis and kinematics of Late Quaternary gravitational cover of the southwestern part of the Northern Caspian region.

Исследование состава тонкодисперсного материала в базальтах в плейстоценовых осадках впадины Гуаймас Калифорнийского залива выявило на некоторых горизонтах плейстоценового разреза в составе силлов помимо ранее известных смектитов ещё и биотита. Изучение петрографических и полированных шлифов в оптическом и в сканирующем электронном микроскопах установило терригенный генезис биотита, захваченного из вмещающих осадков внедряющимся расплавом, из осадочной части разреза. Крупные обломки биотита хорошей сохранности встречены в трещинах корки закала, мелкие фрагменты неравномерно распределены в зоне закала. Крупные фрагменты биотита имеют следы растворения и частичного замещения зелёным глинистым веществом (смектитом). Предполагается, что в основной части силлов захваченные биотиты были разрушены полностью. Источником оксида калия (0.607.00) в составе новообразованных смектитов, сформировавшихся в интерстициях базальта, был биотит, разрушенный внедряющимся расплавом и перемещённый в силле термальным раствором. Выделение слоистых силикатов в жилках, рассекающих основную массу базальтов и крупные кристаллы плагиоклазов определённо указывает на их формирование из растворов. Наличие оксидов калия в составе вторичных глинистых образований базальтов подтверждает миграцию термальных растворов в горизонтах силлов.
Basalt sills intruded in unconsolidated Pleistocene hemi pelagic sediments in the Guaymas Basin of the Baja California Peninsula have been studied in thin sections by optical and by scanning electron microscope. Several hydrothermal minerals have been established but biotite for the first time in basalt sills. It is terrigenous mineral captured during basalt magma intrusion into sediments having biotite fragments. The large fragments of biotite have been found out in opening mode cracks of the basalt zone chilling. The small fragments of biotite are numerous in this zone. Some of the large biotite fragments have been partially replaced by smectites. In the middle part of sills all biotite fragments have been completely destroyed. In basalts some of the clay minerals (smectites) contain up to 0.67.0 of K2O. The source of this component was terrigenous fragments of biotite captured from sedimentary deposits. Precipitation of K2O with clay minerals in basalts allows suggests migration of thermal solutions through sills horizons.

Рассмотрено геологическое развитие в квартере сквозных морфоструктурных ансамблей, пересекающих Северо-Восток России в субмеридиональном и субширотном направлениях. Рифтовый бассейн моря Лаптевых прослеживается от хребта Гаккеля до верховьев р. Индигирки. Колючинско-Мечигменский рифт протягивается от Берингова моря через Чукотский полуостров до котловины Подводников. Южно-Анюйский коллизионный шов распространяется от Берингова моря практически через весь Северо-Восток России до моря Лаптевых. В квартере для этих морфоструктур характерно проявление вертикальных и горизонтальных движений, сейсмичности, вулканизма, разгрузки термальных вод. Новейшие движения влияют на положение границы между сушей и морем, между реликтовыми гляциальными и перигляциальными зонами. Локальные неотектонические блоковые структуры консервируют реликтовые осадочные образования ледовый комплекс (едома). Ключевые слова: рифтовая система моря Лаптевых, Колючинско-Мечигменская рифтовая система, Южно-Анюйская сутура, новейшая тектоника, квартер.
The article deals with the Quaternary geological evolution of cross cutting morphostructures of the Russian Northeast. They have submeridional and sublatitudinal directions. The Laptev Sea rift morphostructure begins from the Gakkel Ridge and closes in the Indigirka River upper course. Koluchinsko-Mechigmensk morphostructure is between the Bering Sea, through Chukotka peninsula to Podvodnikov basin. South Anyui suture reaches from the Bering Sea through Russian Northeast up to Laptev Sea. There are phenomenon of vertical and horizontal movements, seismicity, volcanism and hydrothermal springs in the Quaternary for all of them. Neotectonic activity has influenced on position of boundary between sea and land between relict glacial and periglacial zones. Local neotectonic block structures preserve relict endemic sedimentary ice complex (edoma).
Transition between low- and high-noise modulation instability microcombs in a silicon nitride microresonator

Published: December 2024

Abstract
We developed a systematic measurement method that simultaneously captures pump detuning, the optical spectrum, RF beat noise, and the linewidth of a microresonator frequency comb. This comprehensive measurement approach enables us to investigate and visualize the phase transition between two distinct states within the modulation instability (MI) comb: a low-noise state (MI comb phase 1) and a high-noise state (MI comb phase 2). While phase 2 is typically recognized as the MI comb, our findings suggest that phase 1 represents a transition from the Turing pattern to the MI comb, maintaining a low-noise profile despite exhibiting the spectral characteristics of an MI comb.
