AbstractBlockchain technology is a highly developed database system that shares information within a business web. It stores details in blocks connected chronologically, ensuring information integrity through consensus mechanisms that prevent unauthorised alterations. This decentralised system removes the need for a believable mediator, mitigating vulnerabilities and enhancing transaction security. Blockchain’s application spans the energy, finance, media, entertainment, and retail sectors. However, classical blockchain faces threats from quantum computing advancements, necessitating the development of quantum blockchain technology. Quantum blockchain, leveraging quantum computation and information theory, offers enhanced security and immutability. In this paper, different mathematical foundations, practical implementations and effectiveness of lattice‐based cryptography in securing blockchain applications are discussed. Analysis of how the cryptographic techniques can protect blockchain systems against quantum attacks is being done by using mathematical formulations and examples. Quantum computing strengthens blockchain security with advanced encryption and authentication, which is critical for safeguarding diverse sectors from evolving cyber threats. Further study on quantum‐resistant design is necessary if blockchain networks are to be robust and intact in the face of future technological developments.

Context. Understanding the dust content of galaxies, its evolution with redshift and its relation to stars and star formation is fundamental for our understanding of galaxy evolution. Dust acts as a catalyst of star formation and as a shield for star light. Advanced millimeter facilities like ALMA have made dust observation ever more accessible, even at high redshift. However, dust emission is typically very faint, making the use of stacking techniques is instrumental in the study of dust in statistically sound samples.
Aims. Using the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS) wide-area band-6 continuum dataset (∼ 110 arcmin2 across 33 lensing clusters), we constrain the dust-mass evolution with redshift, stellar mass, and star formation rate (SFR).
Methods. After binning sources according to redshift, SFR, and stellar mass as extracted from an HST-IRAC catalog, we performed a set of continuum-stacking analyses in the image domain using LINESTACKER on sources between z = 1 and z = 5, which further improved the depth of our data. The large field of view provided by the ALCS allowed us to reach a final sample of ∼4000 galaxies with known coordinates and SED-derived physical parameters. We stacked sources with an SFR between 10−3 and 103 M⊙ per year and a stellar mass between 108 and 1012 M⊙, and we split them into different stellar mass and SFR bins. Through stacking, we retrieved the continuum 1.2 mm flux, which is a known dust-mass tracer. This allowed us to derive the dust-mass evolution with redshift and its relation to the SFR and stellar mass.
Results. We clearly detect the continuum in most of the subsamples. From the nondetections, we derive 3σ upper limits. We observe a steady decline in the average dust mass with redshift. Moreover, sources with a higher stellar mass or SFR have a higher dust mass on average. This allows us to derive scaling relations. Our results mostly agree well with models at z ∼ 1–3, but they indicate a typically lower dust mass than predicted at higher redshift.
Non-local thermal transport impact on compressive waves in two-temperature coronal loops
Authors: Belov S. A. , Goffrey T. , Arber T. D. , Kolotkov D. Y. 
Published: December 2024

Context. Observations of slow magnetoacoustic waves in solar coronal loops suggest that in hot coronal plasma, heat conduction may be suppressed in comparison with the classical thermal transport model.
Aims. We link this suppression with the effect of the non-local thermal transport that appears when the plasma temperature perturbation gradient becomes comparable to the electron mean-free-path. Moreover, we consider a finite time of thermalisation between electrons and ions so that separate electron and ion temperatures can occur in the loop.
Methods. We numerically compared the influence of the local and non-local thermal transport models on standing slow waves in one- and two-temperature coronal loops. To quantify our comparison, we used the period and damping time of the waves as commonly observed parameters.
Results. Our study reveals that non-local thermal transport can result in either shorter or longer slow-wave damping times in comparison with the local conduction model due to the suppression of the isothermal regime. The difference in damping times can reach 80%. For hot coronal loops, we find that the finite equilibration between electron and ion temperatures results in an up to 50% longer damping time compared to the one-temperature case. These results indicate that non-local transport will influence the dynamics of compressive waves across a broad range of coronal plasma parameters with Knudsen numbers (the ratio of mean-free-path to temperature scale length) larger than 1%.
Conclusions. In the solar corona, the non-local thermal transport shows a significant influence on the dynamics of standing slow waves in a broad range of plasma parameters, while two-temperature effects come into play for hot and less dense loops.

Published: December 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die Früherkennung psychischer Auffälligkeiten ist wichtig, um
eine Chronifizierung zu verhindern. Die Psych-U-Studie prüfte den Mehrwert einer
strukturierten Erfassung psychischer Auffälligkeiten in U-Untersuchungen
gegenüber Routinebehandlungen ohne eine solche Erfassung.
Methoden Im clusterrandomisiert-kontrollierten Studiendesign wurde eine
zweiarmige Interventionsgruppe (IG; Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire,
SDQ sowie Mannheimer Elternfragebogen, MEF) mit einer Kontrollgruppe (KG)
verglichen. In der IG bearbeiteten Eltern vor der U-Untersuchung eine
tabletgestützte, strukturierte Befragung zu möglichen psychischen
Auffälligkeiten ihrer Kinder, welche anschließend mit den Kinder- und
Jugendärzt:innen in der U-Untersuchung nachbesprochen wurde. Die Endpunkte waren
Akzeptanz ( = Teilnahmerate; Eltern-Telefoninterviews), Praktikabilität ( =
Fokusgruppen mit Praxisteams) sowie Wirkung (= Weiterleitungsverhalten) der
strukturierten Erfassung psychischer Auffälligkeiten gegenüber der
Routinebehandlung.
Ergebnisse Insgesamt nahmen N=3,138 Familien teil (Teilneh- merrate: 85,3
%). In den Eltern-Telefoninterviews (n = 348) wiesen SDQ und MEF eine hohe
Akzeptanz auf. Die Fokusgruppeninterviews mit den Praxisteams deuten auf eine
hohe Praktikabilität hin, gleichzeitig seien für die Implementierung in die
Regelversorgung strukturelle Veränderungen auf der Ebene des Gesundheitssystems
(z. B. Vergütung des Mehraufwands), – der Praxen (z. B. digitale
Erhebungsmöglichkeiten) und – der Patient:innen (z. B. Angebote bei
Sprachbarrieren) notwendig. Die IG wies eine höhere Weiterleitungsrate gegenüber
der KG auf.
Schlussfolgerung Die strukturierte Erfassung psychischer Auffälligkeiten
erscheint sinnvoll, erfordert aber strukturelle Voraussetzungen. Zudem sollten
genügend lokale Weiterleitungsangebote vorhanden sein.
Erwartungen an und Wahrnehmung einer medizinischen Rehabilitation in
Pandemiezeiten aus Perspektive von Personen mit Rehabilitationsbedarf und
Rehabilitand*innen – Eine qualitative Studie

Published: December 2024

Zusammenfassung
Ziel der Studie Im Laufe der letzten vier Jahre haben Anbieter der
medizinischen Rehabilitation und ihre Mitarbeitenden Strategien entwickelt, um
sich auf eine neue Versorgungsrealität während der COVID-19-Pandemie
einzustellen. Ziel der qualitativen Erhebung war es, die Erwartungen an und die
Wahrnehmung einer Rehabilitation während Pandemiezeiten von (potenziellen)
Rehabilitand*innen zu erfassen. Die Ergebnisse können einen Beitrag zur
Entwicklung von Empfehlungen darüber leisten, wie pandemiebedingte
Herausforderungen in der rehabilitativen Versorgung bestmöglich bewältigt werden
können.
Methodik Um Einblicke in die Perspektive von Rehabilitand*innen und
(potenziellen) Antragsteller*innen zu gewinnen, wurden 33 leitfadengestützte,
telefonische Einzelinterviews durchgeführt. Die Interviewpartner*innen wurden
über zwei Kooperationskliniken, soziale Medien sowie ein netzwerkbasiertes
Schneeballprinzip rekrutiert. Die Interviews wurden transkribiert und in
Anlehnung an das von Kuckartz empfohlene Vorgehen in einem mehrstufigen
Verfahren qualitativ-inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse (Potenzielle) Antragsteller*innen und Rehabilitand*innen
äußerten sich zu (erwarteten) Herausforderungen und Chancen während der
Rehabilitation und zu Bedürfnissen an die rehabilitativen Versorgung in
Pandemiezeiten. Ergeben haben sich auf der einen Seite Einschränkungen in der
Therapie- und Freizeitgestaltung. Außerdem berichteten sie von (psycho-)sozialen
Herausforderungen wie Gefühlen von Einsamkeit und Isolation aufgrund von
Kontaktbeschränkungen. Auf der anderen Seite nahmen die (potenziellen)
Rehabilitand*innen auch Chancen während einer Rehabilitation wahr. Positiv
empfanden sie die Schutz- und Hygienemaßnahmen in den Einrichtungen, die
geringere Klinikauslastung und kleinere Gruppengrößen sowie die Möglichkeit der
Nutzung von Gesundheitsangeboten und des sozialen Kontakts.
Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Rehabilitation auch in
Pandemiezeiten trotz Schutzmaßnahmen als entlastend und gesundheitsfördernd
wahrgenommen werden kann. Für einige Befragte sind die Schutzmaßnahmen
maßgeblich für den Erfolg einer und den Gesundheitserhalt während einer
Rehabilitation. Die Strategien der Einrichtungen, mit COVID-19 umzugehen,
Infektionen vorzubeugen und gleichzeitig eine patientenzentrierte
Gesundheitsversorgung zu gewährleisten, brachten für die Rehabilitand*innen
neben Einschränkungen vielmehr positive Effekte und nachhaltige Chancen mit
sich.

AbstractIn this study, we synthesized a novel oxaprozin and SB-431542 hybrid molecule, AF-3, exhibiting antifibrotic and anti-cell-migration activities. Although oxaprozin was expected to exhibit antifibrotic activity, this was not observed in this study. Therefore, we designed AF-3 as an oxaprozin derivative and obtained its synthetic precursor, AF-2. Carboxylic acid AF-2 and carboxamide AF-3 showed similar inhibitory activities against AKT phosphorylation and expression of the mesenchymal cell marker, vimentin. Notably, AF-2 exerted weaker effects on cell migration and fibrosis than AF-3. Although the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, this study provides valuable insights for the development of new drugs against fibrosis and cancer metastasis related to cell migration.

AbstractThe ability to restore both function and aesthetics after tooth loss is a cornerstone of modern dentistry. Various treatments are available for replacing missing teeth, among which dental autotransplantation has emerged as an innovative approach. Historically, tooth autotransplantation has been a common remedy for dental avulsion in young patients; however, in recent years, it has gained recognition as a viable and predictable option for replacing hopeless teeth in adults as well. This study aims to systematically evaluate and compare the effectiveness of anterior versus posterior dental autotransplants, while also providing an overview of the techniques employed in these procedures. Utilizing online platforms such as PubMed and the UIC University library, articles published between 2010 and 2023 were selected for review. The findings of this systematic review indicate that dental autotransplantion, regardless of whether it occurs in the anterior or posterior region, yields optimal aesthetic and functional results alongside long-term positive outcomes. Autotransplantation is particularly beneficial for trauma-related tooth loss, especially in younger patients, where ongoing bone growth necessitates the preservation of bone levels. The studies reviewed consistently demonstrate that this technique offers significant advantages in terms of function, appearance, and structural integrity, with compelling evidence supporting its long-term viability. In summary, dental autotransplantation is a valuable treatment option that not only addresses the immediate concerns following tooth loss but also contributes to maintaining oral health and aesthetics over time.

Published: December 2024

AbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several epidemiological studies have reported oral health as one of the risk factors for CVD. This scoping review aimed to present evidence from published reports regarding the association between dental caries and CVD incidence. The search strategy was conducted using available databases (PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest) for studies published from January 2013 to December 2023 in the English language. The retrieved articles were further evaluated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 24 relevant articles were selected for review to support the evidence based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping review guidelines. Furthermore, 12 cross-sectional, 5 case-control, and 7 cohort studies reported a correlation between dental caries and CVD incidence. The results of this review suggest an association between dental caries and CVD through oral infection or pathogen-induced oral inflammatory mediators. Moreover, other potential factors that increase the risk of CVD include age, hypertension, tobacco smoking, diabetes mellitus, stress, genetic predisposition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, health behaviors, obesity, antibiotic supplementation, awareness of oral health, access to health care, nutrition, and low socioeconomic status. Despite the limited number of studies, there is much evidence of an association between dental caries and CVD incidence. Understanding the association between dental caries and CVD plays a pivotal role in patient education and treatment planning. To expand the search source and evidence, future systematic reviews and meta-analyses should investigate the associations between dental caries and CVD.
Controversies in Chronic Aortic Dissection

Published: December 2024

AbstractChronic type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) often requires intervention due to complications like aortic aneurysmal dilatation and rupture, traditionally managed via open surgery. With the continued rise of endovascular therapies, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is increasingly used, although its role in cTBAD is debated due to challenges such as a thick dissection septum, poor landing zones, and persistent false lumen flow. However, mounting evidence demonstrates TEVAR is a viable option for cTBAD, particularly for patients with high risks treated with open surgery. Advances in endovascular techniques, such as false lumen obliteration techniques and landing zone optimization strategies, have enhanced its technical success rate and clinical outcomes. However, continued research is needed to validate these methods and confirm their long-term benefits. In this review article, we not only update the emerging endovascular armamentarium but also discuss the technical considerations in catheter-based treatment approaches and respective outcomes.

. Approach. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the chamber-specific factor fQ
in monoenergetic proton beams for six different plane-parallel ionization chambers while positioning the chambers with a) their reference point and b) their effective point of measurement accounting for the water equivalent thickness of the entrance window. Main results. For all ionization chamber models investigated in this study, the difference in fQ
between both positioning approaches was larger for steeper dose gradients and bigger differences between the geometrical thickness and water-equivalent thickness of the entrance window. The largest effect was 1.2% for the IBA PPC-05 ionization chamber at an energy of 60 MeV. Significance. The positioning of plane-parallel ionization chambers in proton beams has a systematic impact on the fQ

Published: December 2024

Abstract
A standalone high energy, 352 MHz radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) design is presented, resulting into targeted energy gain of 1.8 MeV/u with a beam current of 1 mA for mass to charge (A/q) ratio ≤ 4. It avoids many separate stages of transverse and longitudinal matching of beams compared to a standard RFQ + DTL accelerator combination due to automatic adiabatic bunching, focusing and acceleration of the beam and thus prevent many beam diagnostic and vacuum components. It is compact (only 4.63 meters) comparatively to other accelerator of equivalent energy gain and operation is quite easy in terms of beam tuning. The beam dynamics and vane designs are presented in details using PARMTEQ and Poisson/Superfish code. Such an accelerator promises to be a good candidate for establishing compact and more efficient nuclear physics research facilities compared to electrostatic Pelletron accelerators.

Abstract
Enclosure design cavities have a significant impact on thermal engineering methods and technologies, including electronics, power engines, thermal exchangers, heating systems, nuclear facilities and solar panels. This study aims to investigate the impact of

hybrid nanofluid inside a circular cavity under the influence of an inclined magnetic field over the heated fin. The circular cavity containing the fin is maintained at a high temperature, while the circular object acts as an isothermal heat generation. The area between the circular cavity and the fin is filled with a hybrid nanofluid (

Effect of electric field on vortex-like structures in a planar magnet
Authors: Magadeev E B , Vakhitov R M 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The paper theoretically studies the influence of inhomogeneous magnetoelectric interaction on systems of vortex-like objects formed in a film of a planar ferromagnet. It is shown that each of these objects interacts with an electric field as a point charge of a certain magnitude (in particular, the object ‘feels’ the field only in its center). It is revealed that fields of sufficiently high strength can promote the spontaneous generation of a vortex-antivortex pair due to the amplification of fluctuations in the magnetization distribution in the film.
