Published: May 2020

AbstractParentification occurs when children provide caregiving for family members that typically exceeds their capacity and developmental stage. Parentification roles and responsibilities are often linked with deleterious outcomes, including robbing children of age-appropriate opportunities, activities, and support. However, in some circumstances, such as caring for a sibling vs. caring for a parent, parentification may engender feelings of self-efficacy, competence, and other positive outcomes. The primary objective of the current study was to explore the possible benefits of parentification. Using an understudied, international population, the current study tested the benefits of parentification in the context of the sibling relationship. Two research questions guided the study: to what extent are perceived benefits of parentification positively associated with self-esteem among a sample of Polish late adolescents? And to what extent does the quality of the sibling relationship mediate the association between perceived benefits of parentification and self-esteem? Results from the current sample showed the quality of sibling relationships partially mediated the relation between parentification and self-esteem. The findings underline the importance of assessing the quality of sibling relationships when an individual or family presenting for clinical services related to past and current family discord and dysfunction. Future research might consider other factors in the sibling relationship, such as personality, that could relate to positive outcomes from parentification.
Activity concentration of Fukushima-derived radiocesium in the western subarctic area of the North Pacific Ocean in summer 2017

Published: May 2020

AbstractVertical profiles of radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) were measured in the western subarctic area of the North Pacific in 2017. The highest concentration of 134Cs, which was derived from the accident of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011, was 0.14 Bq m−3 (or 1.19 Bq m−3 after the decay correction to the accident date). Although the vertical inventory of 134Cs decreased between 2014 and 2017, the inventory in 2017 was larger than that expected. That was probably arose from the return of some portion of the high-concentration water mass along with the anticlockwise subarctic gyre current.

AbstractFor a system of N bosons in one space dimension with two-body δ-interactions the Hamiltonian can be defined in terms of the usual closed semi-bounded quadratic form. We approximate this Hamiltonian in norm resolvent sense by Schrödinger operators with rescaled two-body potentials, and we estimate the rate of this convergence.
A place next to Satoshi: foundations of blockchain and cryptocurrency research in business and economics
Authors: Ante Lennart 
Published: May 2020

AbstractBlockchain technology has become an ubiquitous phenomenon. While the topic originated in computer science, the business and economics literature was comparatively slow to pick up on it. To better understand the academic basis, current developments and future research avenues of the discourse, 9672 cited references of 467 blockchain and cryptocurrency articles from the fields of business and economics are gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection and are analyzed. Five major strands of research are identified through factor analysis. They are reviewed and their interrelation is mapped using social network analysis. Research on (I) market efficiency and economics and (II) asset pricing and valuation is relatively mature and focuses on cryptocurrencies, while research on (III) the principles and applications of blockchain technology, (IV) transactions and anonymity and (V) monetary theory and policy lacks maturity. Potential paths for future research are pointed out and in conclusion, it is assessed that this young field of research still leaves plenty of room for manoeuvre. A scientific place next to Nakamoto (2008) is still available for existing, emerging and new research streams.

Published: May 2020

AbstractAchieving high quality, high variety batch size production can be quite expensive. In this vision paper, the methodology of achieving this at low costs and the available technologies in the field of e-mobility production are described. The focus of this research lies in high adaptive and cognitive aspects in the assembly along with qualitative aspects. To match the high flexibility of a flexible manufacturing system while considering quantitative efforts, a use case of an e-axle assembly is being done. E-axle is chosen due to the ongoing electrification of mobility. Hence, a solution for implementing a set of methodologies for an adaptive manufacturing system with respect to assembly, quality and implementation efforts is shown. A Level of Practical Application matrix is presented of all the possible adaptive technologies that are feasible to implement in the e-assembly line.

Abstract
Purpose
Fat-free mass (FFM) loss is a concerning aspect of bariatric surgery, but little is known about its time-course and factors related with excessive FFM loss. This study examined (i) the progress of FFM loss up to 3 years post-bariatric surgery and (ii) the prevalence and determinants of excessive FFM loss.

Materials and Methods
A total of 3596 patients (20% males, 43.5 ± 11.1 years old, BMI = 44.2 ± 5.5 kg/m2) underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed preoperatively and 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months post-surgery. Changes in body composition were assessed by mixed model analysis. Prevalence of excessive FFM loss (based on three different cutoff values: ≥ 25%, ≥ 30% and ≥ 35% FFM loss/weight loss (= %FFML/WL)) was estimated and its determinants were assessed by linear regression analysis.

Results
Highest rates of FFM loss were found at 3 and 6 months post-surgery, reflecting 57% and 73% of peak FFM loss, respectively. Prevalence of excessive FFM loss ranged from 14 to 46% at 36 months post-surgery, with an older age (β = 0.14, 95%CI = 0.10–0.18, P < .001), being male (β = 3.99, 95%CI = 2.86–5.12, P < .001), higher BMI (β = 0.13, 95%CI = 0.05–0.20, P = .002) and SG (β = 2.56, 95%CI = 1.36–3.76, P < .001) as determinants for a greater %FFML/WL.

Conclusion
Patients lost most FFM within 3 to 6 months post-surgery. Prevalence of excessive FFM loss was high, emphasizing the need for more vigorous approaches to counteract FFM loss. Furthermore, future studies should assess habitual physical activity and dietary intake shortly after surgery in relation to FFM loss.
Locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) for water disinfection
Authors: Zhou Jianfeng , Wang Ting , Yu Cecilia , Xie Xing 
Published: May 2020

AbstractWater disinfection is a critical step in water and wastewater treatment. The most widely used chlorination suffers from the formation of carcinogenic disinfection by-products (DBPs) while alternative methods (e.g., UV, O3, and membrane filtration) are limited by microbial regrowth, no residual disinfectant, and high operation cost. Here, a nanowire-enabled disinfection method, locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT), is introduced with advantages of no chemical addition, no DBP formation, low energy consumption, and efficient microbial inactivation. Attributed to the lightning rod effect, the electric field near the tip area of the nanowires on the electrode is significantly enhanced to inactivate microbes, even though a small external voltage (usually < 5 V) is applied. In this review, after emphasizing the significance of water disinfection, the theory of the LEEFT is explained. Subsequently, the recent development of the LEEFT technology on electrode materials and device configurations are summarized. The disinfection performance is analyzed, with respect to the operating parameters, universality against different microorganisms, electrode durability, and energy consumption. The studies on the inactivation mechanisms during the LEEFT are also reviewed. Lastly, the challenges and future research of LEEFT disinfection are discussed.

Published: May 2020

AbstractLow grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare soft tissue tumor appearing mainly in young adults. Despite its bland histological features, the tumor has a tendency toward late local recurrence and distant metastases even up to 45 years after the diagnosis. The treatment of choice in this type of neoplasm is a radical surgical excision with clear resection margins. We decided to present a case report of a 17-year-old patient with LGFMS of the right hip. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed, but in the histopathological examination was described the minimal resection margin (0.3 mm). The multi-specialist team composed of oncologist, radiologist, and pediatric surgeon based on the literature decided to widen the resection margin despite its obtainment during the primary operation. The scar after the first surgery and surrounding soft tissues with the bigger margin were resected. No evidence of cancerous infiltration was found in the second histopathological material. Patient has stayed under the routine control of pediatric surgeon, pediatric oncologist, and has not presented recurrence for 3 years. In conclusion, when the resection margin is uncertain after the primary surgery, the increase of the range of operation allows the prevention of the late recurrence of the disease.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
With the increasing urbanization, agriculture, industrial activities along the coastal stretches of India, more and more people depend on ground water due to which there are cases of large scale decline in both quantity and quality. One of the State which is facing a critical change in its geomorphology and land use/land cover is Goa which is known for its tourism industry. Therefore, the water management will be a major issue in the years to come. A field survey conducted in parts of north Goa coast to understand the ground water availability status, quality issues and salinity conditions of ground water due to sea water intrusion. Accordingly, an attempt was made to understand the extent of seawater mixing with ground water using a model known as GALDIT Model. GALDIT is an indicator based model which assess and quantifies the significance of vulnerability to seawater intrusion due to excessive groundwater withdrawals. The system contains three significant parts: weights, ranges, and ratings. Each GALDIT factor has been evaluated with respect to the other to determine the relative importance of each factor. Accordingly indices were calculated for the selected wells (wells were selected along the coast and also perpendicular to the coast). Results obtained by GALDIT model showed that about 42% of the wells in the study area are low vulnerable and 58% of the wells are moderately vulnerable to sea water intrusion.

Published: May 2020

AbstractMoringa oleifera (MO) seed coat, a postharvest waste of MO seed, was mercerized and used as eco-friendly adsorbent for removal of Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution at different time and temperature. Mercerized M. oleifera seed coat (MSC) was characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) before and after adsorption process. Data obtained from effect of contact time on CR dye-uptake were applied on Elovich, pseudo-first- and second-order kinetic models, as well as on intraparticle diffusion and Boyd models. SEM and FTIR showed adsorption of CR dye on MSC through filled holes (SEM), appearance of new and shifting existing of functional groups (FTIR) on the surface of MSC after adsorption process. Adsorption kinetics was seen to be best fitted with pseudo-second-order model with the highest value of correlation coefficient at all temperatures. Film diffusion mechanism controlled the adsorption process, where external mass transfer was higher than internal mass transfer. Adsorption kinetics parameters confirmed removal of CR dye from aqueous solution through chemical and physical adsorption on MSC.
How Do Technological Artefacts Embody Moral Values?
Authors: Klenk Michael 
Published: May 2020

AbstractAccording to some philosophers of technology, technology embodies moral values in virtue of its functional properties and the intentions of its designers. But this paper shows that such an account makes the values supposedly embedded in technology epistemically opaque and that it does not allow for values to change. Therefore, to overcome these shortcomings, the paper introduces the novel Affordance Account of Value Embedding as a superior alternative. Accordingly, artefacts bear affordances, that is, artefacts make certain actions likelier given the circumstances. Based on an interdisciplinary perspective that invokes recent moral anthropology, I conceptualize affordances as response-dependent properties. That is, they depend on intrinsic as well as extrinsic properties of the artefact. We have reason to value these properties. Therefore, artefacts embody values and are not value-neutral, which has practical implications for the design of new technologies.

Published: May 2020

AbstractBetulin (BE) has exceedingly become a potential natural product, providing multiple pharmacological and biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Previous research indicated that the solvatomorphism of BE can easily occur through crystallization with different organic solvents. This property of BE can directly affect its extraction, isolation, and preparation process. In this study, a system of thermogravimetry (TG)–differential thermal analysis (DTA) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) with electron ionization (EI) and photoionization (PI) capability, equipped with the skimmer-type interface (i.e., skimmer-type interfaced TG–DTA–EI/PI–MS system), as a real-time and onsite analysis technique, was employed. Then, four solvatomorphs of BE, namely, with pyridine and water (A), sec-butanol (B), n,n-dimethylformamide (DMF) (C), and isopropanol (V), were analyzed for the first time. Finally, five kinds of the main volatile gaseous species, including H2O, pyridine, sec-butanol, DMF, and isopropanol, were identified clearly. Furthermore, the multi-step desolvation processes of the four solvatomorphs of BE were revealed by this system for the first time. This system showed great potential for the rapid and accurate analysis of various solvatomorphs of natural products.

Authors: Rigó Attila , Barina Zoltán 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe vast majority of floristical and coenological studies focus on the natural vegetation and its remnants in urban environments; however, there is an increasing interest in the systematic exploration of built environments. This survey of the inhabited areas of Budapest launched in 2018 applied a new and detailed methodology. The territorial units of the survey were street sections, where the presence of vascular plants was recorded in ecologically different habitats separately. We laid down the foundations to establish new habitat categories for the habitat classification and mapping of urban ecosystems using a different approach than the Hungarian habitat classification system (ÁNÉR). The method enables us to study the flora of urban ecosystems in detail. We established 18 urban habitat categories, surveyed more than 27,000 survey units and registered 647 spontaneously growing plant species in Budapest. Our survey evinced the spontaneous occurrence of 193 alien species in Budapest, 81 of them are data deficient, while 10 of them are new introductions in Hungary. 53.9% of the aliens are cultivated frequently in Hungary.

Published: May 2020

Objective/background:
Mutations in transmembrane protease serine 6 (TMPRSS6) gene induce high hepcidin level, which causes iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) by preventing duodenal iron absorption. This study aims to identify the common genetic variations of the TMPRSS6 gene that affect iron levels among Saudi female patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

Methods:
All study participants were Saudi females (12–49 years old): 32 patients with IDA, 32 patients with IRIDA, and 34 healthy individuals comprising the control group. Hematological investigations, iron profile, serum hepcidin level, and TMPRSS6 gene transcription were determined. The TMPRSS6 gene was amplified, sequenced, and analyzed among all study participants.

Results:
The mean hepcidin and TMPRSS6 RNA transcription levels in IDA and IRIDA groups were significantly lower than those in the control group. TMPRSS6 gene sequence analysis detected 41 variants: two in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), 17 in introns, and 22 in exons. Thirty-three variants were previously reported in the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database, and eight variants were novel; one novel variant was in 5'UTR (g.-2 T > G); five novel variants were detected in exons (p.W73X, p.D479N, p.E523K, p.L674L, and p.I799I). At the time of the sequence analysis of our samples, two variants-p.D479N and p.674L-were novel. However, these variants are present at a very low allele frequency in other populations (L674L, 0.00007761 and D479N, 0.000003980).

Conclusion:
This is the first study to investigate the genetic variants of TMPRSS6 gene in Saudi female patients with IDA. The generated data will serve as a reference for future studies on IDA in the Arab population.
Effects of Yuan–Dollar Exchange Rate Changes on World Cotton Markets

Published: May 2020

AbstractFrom April 2018 to August 2019, the Yuan has declined in value relative to the US dollar by 12.6%, and the effects of this decline have not been studied. This study analyzes the effects of this fall in Yuan value, in isolation of tariffs, on US, Chinese, and world cotton markets. The results show that the adverse effects of the decline in Yuan value reverberate throughout world cotton markets and exacerbate the detrimental effects of the Chinese cotton tariff.
Satunarcus, a new late Cambrian trilobite genus from southernmost Thailand and a reevaluation of the subfamily Mansuyiinae Hupé, 1955

Published: May 2020

AbstractThe Ao Mo Lae Formation of the Tarutao Group crops out on Thailand's Tarutao Island and contains a diverse assemblage of late Furongian trilobite taxa, including several endemic forms. This study presents a new genus and species,Satunarcus molaensis, discovered at two locations on the island. A cladistic analysis of the kaolishaniid subfamily Mansuyiinae in light ofSatunarcusand similar genera known from across upper Cambrian equatorial Gondwanan rocks suggests that the subfamily is polyphyletic in its current definition, and thus is not a natural group. SeparatingMansuyiaSun, 1924 from the other taxa conventionally placed in Mansuyiinae permits recognition of a previously unrecognized monophyletic subfamily Ceronocarinae new subfamily. As established herein, this kaolishaniid subfamily containsSatunarcusn. gen. and all genera previously recognized as Mansuyiinae. with the exception ofMansuyiaitself. Ceronocarinae n. subfam. occur in middle Jiangshanian to middle Cambrian Stage 10 sedimentary rocks from Australia, South China, North China, and Sibumasu, with most genera endemic to Australia.UUID:http://zoobank.org/618c5136-73f0-4912-a7d3-e56559d2a76c
