Published: August 2020

AbstractIn South Transdanubia (Hungary), the remarkable geothermal and hydrocarbon resources in the Drava Basin and the hypogene caves at the margin of outcropping carbonate hills were usually investigated separately and their interactions were hitherto neglected. The aim of this study is to give all these groundwater-related resources and phenomena a common framework applying the concept of regional hydraulic continuity, and to complete the regional (i.e., basin-scale) hydraulic assessment of the area based on preproduction archival measured data. Pressure-elevation profiles, tomographic fluid-potential maps and hydraulic cross-sections were constructed to determine the vertical and horizontal fluid-flow conditions. As a result, two kinds of fluid flow systems could be identified. Within the gravitational flow systems, horizontal flow conditions are dominant and the regional flow direction tends toward the S–SE. In deeper basin regions, an overpressured flow system is prevalent, where fluids are driven laterally from the deeper sub-basins towards their margins. Based on the regional-scale evaluation of fluid flow systems, conclusions could be drawn regarding the geothermal and hydrocarbon potential of the area. Additionally, local-scale phenomena could be explained, particularly in the southern foreland of the Villány Hills. Cave formation cannot be related to the present-day flow systems here. In the Harkány area, groundwater chemistry could be explained by fluid contribution from the Drava Basin. A comparison with the marginal Buda Thermal Karst area allows for generalized conclusions regarding the connections between marginal karst reservoirs and the Pannonian Basin.
The variation of the posterior variance and Bayesian sample size determination
Authors: Martin Jörg , Elster Clemens 
Published: August 2020

AbstractWe consider Bayesian sample size determination using a criterion that utilizes the first two moments of the posterior variance. We study the resulting sample size in dependence on the chosen prior and explore the success rate for bounding the posterior variance below a prescribed limit under the true sampling distribution.
Compared with sample size determination based on the average of the posterior variance the proposed criterion leads to an increase in sample size and significantly improved success rates. Generic asymptotic properties are proven, such as an asymptotic expression for the sample size and a sort of phase transition. Our study is illustrated using two real world datasets with Poisson and normally distributed data. Based on our results some recommendations are given.

Abstract
Tissue paper softness relies on two major factors, the bulk softness, which can be indicated by the elasticity of the sheet, and surface softness. Measurement of surface softness is complicated and often requires a multi-step process. A key parameter defining surface softness is the topography of the surface, particularly the crepe structure and its periodicity. Herein, we present a novel approach to measure and quantify the tissue paper surface crepe structure and periodicity based on the detection of waviness along the sample using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSM) and X-ray tomography (XRT). In addition, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to characterize the tissue paper surface. We demonstrate that surface topography is directly correlated to the erosion of the doctor blade, which is used to remove the dry tissue paper from the Yankee cylinder. Because of its accuracy and simplicity, the laser confocal microscopy method has the potential to be used directly on the production line to monitor the production process of the tissue paper. XRT revealed more structural details of the tissue paper structure in 3D, and it allowed for the reconstruction of the surface and the internal structure of the tissue paper.

Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the associations between maternal vitamin D status in late pregnancy and emergency caesarean section (EMCS) and birth asphyxia, in a population based sample of women in Sweden.

Methods
Pregnant women were recruited at the antenatal care in Sweden and 1832 women were included after exclusion of miscarriages, terminated pregnancies and missing data on vitamin D status. Mode of delivery was retrieved from medical records. EMCS was defined as caesarean section after onset of labour. Birth asphyxia was defined as either 5 min Apgar score < 7 or arterial umbilical cord pH < 7.1. Serum was sampled in the third trimester of pregnancy (T3) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) was analysed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25OHD < 30 nmol/L, and associations were studied using logistic regression analysis and expressed as adjusted odds ratios (AOR).

Results
In total, 141 (7.7%) women had an EMCS and 58 (3.2%) children were born with birth asphyxia. Vitamin D deficiency was only associated with higher odds of EMCS in women without epidural anaesthesia (AOR = 2.01, p = 0.044). Vitamin D deficiency was also associated with higher odds of birth asphyxia (AOR = 2.22, p = 0.044).

Conclusions for Practice
In this Swedish prospective population-based cohort study, vitamin D deficiency in late pregnancy was associated with doubled odds of birth asphyxia and with EMCS in deliveries not aided by epidural anaesthesia. Prevention of vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women may reduce the incidence of EMCS and birth asphyxia. The mechanism behind the findings require further investigation.

Published: August 2020

Background Up to 36% of patients admitted to the ICU for COVID-19 require tracheostomy. While the literature recommends the use of multidisciplinary teams in the management of patients with tracheostomy for other diseases, little is known on the collaborative administration of physical therapy and speech language pathology services in the COVID-19 population. Purpose We sought to determine the outcomes of a collaboration between physical therapy (PT) and speech language pathology (SLP) in the treatment of patients who underwent tracheostomy placement as part of their treatment for COVID-19 at our facility. Methods We conducted a retrospective case series on patients with COVID-19 who had a tracheostomy. We included patients who had undergone mechanical ventilation for 14 days or longer, had a surgical tracheostomy, been discharged from intensive care to a medical unit, and received PT and SLP referrals. We compiled retrospective data from electronic medical records, analyzing days from tracheostomy to achievement of PT and SLP functional milestones, including mobility, communication, and swallowing. Of six critically ill patients with COVID-19 who had tracheostomy placement at our facility, three met inclusion criteria: patient 1, a 33-year-old woman; patient 2, an 84-year-old man; and patient 3, an 81-year-old man. For all patients, PT interventions focused on breathing mechanics, secretion clearance, posture, sitting balance, and upper and lower extremity strengthening. SLP interventions focused on cognitive reorganization, verbal and nonverbal communication, secretion management, and swallowing function. Intensity and duration of the sessions were adapted according to patient response and level of fatigue. Results We found that time to tracheostomy from intubation for the three patients was 23 days, 20 days, and 24 days, respectively. Time from tracheostomy insertion to weaning from ventilator was 9 days for patient 1, and 5 days for patient 2 and patient 3. Regarding time to achieve functional PT and SLP milestones, all patients achieved upright sitting with PT prior to achieving initial SLP milestone of voicing with finger occlusion. Variations in progression to swallowing trials were patient specific and due to respiratory instability, cognitive deficits, and limitations in production of an effortful swallow. Patient participation in therapy sessions improved following establishment of oral verbal communication. Conclusion Interdisciplinary cooperation and synchronized implementation of PT and SLP interventions in three COVID-19 patients following prolonged intubation facilitated participation in treatment and achievement of functional milestones. Further study is warranted.
A learning-based method for online adjustment of C-arm Cone-beam CT source trajectories for artifact avoidance

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Purpose
During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying screw placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides intraoperative 3D tomographic imaging which would allow for immediate verification and, if needed, revision. However, the reconstruction quality attainable with commercial CBCT devices is insufficient, predominantly due to severe metal artifacts in the presence of pedicle screws. These artifacts arise from a mismatch between the true physics of image formation and an idealized model thereof assumed during reconstruction. Prospectively acquiring views onto anatomy that are least affected by this mismatch can, therefore, improve reconstruction quality.

Methods
We propose to adjust the C-arm CBCT source trajectory during the scan to optimize reconstruction quality with respect to a certain task, i.e., verification of screw placement. Adjustments are performed on-the-fly using a convolutional neural network that regresses a quality index over all possible next views given the current X-ray image. Adjusting the CBCT trajectory to acquire the recommended views results in non-circular source orbits that avoid poor images, and thus, data inconsistencies.

Results
We demonstrate that convolutional neural networks trained on realistically simulated data are capable of predicting quality metrics that enable scene-specific adjustments of the CBCT source trajectory. Using both realistically simulated data as well as real CBCT acquisitions of a semianthropomorphic phantom, we show that tomographic reconstructions of the resulting scene-specific CBCT acquisitions exhibit improved image quality particularly in terms of metal artifacts.

Conclusion
The proposed method is a step toward online patient-specific C-arm CBCT source trajectories that enable high-quality tomographic imaging in the operating room. Since the optimization objective is implicitly encoded in a neural network trained on large amounts of well-annotated projection images, the proposed approach overcomes the need for 3D information at run-time.
#treppegehtimmer: die effektive und niedrigschwellige Möglichkeit zur Steigerung körperlicher Aktivität im Alltag
Authors: Krisam Mathias , Maier Mona , Krisam Johannes 
Published: August 2020

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Viele Deutsche bewegen sich im Alltag zu wenig, obwohl es ausreichend Möglichkeiten gibt, mehr Bewegung einfach in den Alltag zu integrieren. Gerade Treppen werden häufig „links“ liegen gelassen und die bequemere Variante in Form des Fahrstuhls oder der Rolltreppe bevorzugt. Sogenannte Treppen-Nudges bieten eine gute Möglichkeit, Menschen zur Benutzung der Treppe zu motivieren.

Zielstellung
Ziel war es daher, in einer Pilotstudie einen effektiven und kosteneffizienten Treppen-Nudge zu entwickeln, zu erproben und im Rahmen einer Ex-Post- und Kontrollstudie zu evaluieren.

Methodik
Unter dem Slogan #treppegehtimmer wurden humorvolle Sprüche und attraktive Grafiken, die zum Treppensteigen motivierten, vor und an einer Treppe des Berliner S‑Bahnhofs Zoologischer Garten im September/Oktober 2019 für 4 Wochen angebracht. Sowohl an der Interventions- als auch einer Kontrolltreppe, die ebenfalls zur Plattform führte, wurden die Anzahl der Treppengänger*innen sowie der Rolltreppenfahrer*innen vor, während und nach der Intervention, jeweils morgens (8–10 Uhr) und abends (16–18 Uhr) an ausschließlich 2 Wochentagen gemessen.

Ergebnisse
Durch die Intervention wurde die Rate der Treppengänger*innen im Vergleich zu Rolltreppenfahrer*innen signifikant gesteigert: der Kurzzeiteffekt der Intervention liegt bei einer Odds Ratio (OR) von OR = 1,4305 (p < 0,0001) und der Langzeiteffekt bei OR = 1,4334 (p < 0,0001). Dies bedeutet, dass durch die Intervention umgerechnet täglich etwa 1200 mehr Menschen die Treppe genommen haben.

Schlussfolgerung
Diese Pilotstudie zeigt, dass #treppegehtimmer nachweislich zu einer Steigerung der Treppengänger*innen führt und damit eine kostengünstige und effektive Möglichkeit zur Förderung von mehr Bewegung im Alltag darstellt. Die Aktion sollte daher ausgeweitet und weiter evaluiert werden.
Functional marked point processes: a natural structure to unify spatio-temporal frameworks and to analyse dependent functional data
Authors: Ghorbani Mohammad , Cronie Ottmar , Mateu Jorge , Yu Jun 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThis paper treats functional marked point processes (FMPPs), which are defined as marked point processes where the marks are random elements in some (Polish) function space. Such marks may represent, for example, spatial paths or functions of time. To be able to consider, for example, multivariate FMPPs, we also attach an additional, Euclidean, mark to each point. We indicate how the FMPP framework quite naturally connects the point process framework with both the functional data analysis framework and the geostatistical framework. We further show that various existing stochastic models fit well into the FMPP framework. To be able to carry out nonparametric statistical analyses for FMPPs, we study characteristics such as product densities and Palm distributions, which are the building blocks for many summary statistics. We proceed to defining a new family of summary statistics, so-called weighted marked reduced moment measures, together with their nonparametric estimators, in order to study features of the functional marks. We further show how other summary statistics may be obtained as special cases of these summary statistics. We finally apply these tools to analyse population structures, such as demographic evolution and sex ratio over time, in Spanish provinces.

Abstract
Purpose
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) negatively affects the lives of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors. We aimed to provide an evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) with internationally harmonized CRF surveillance recommendations for CAYA cancer survivors diagnosed < 30 years.

Methods
This CPG was developed by a multidisciplinary panel under the umbrella of the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group. After evaluating concordances and discordances of four existing CPGs, we performed systematic literature searches. We screened articles for eligibility, assessed quality, extracted, and summarized the data from included articles. We formulated recommendations based on the evidence and clinical judgment.

Results
Of 3647 articles identified, 70 articles from 14 countries were included. The prevalence of CRF in CAYA cancer survivors ranged from 10–85%. We recommend that healthcare providers are aware of the risk of CRF, implement regular screening with validated measures, and recommend effective interventions to fatigued survivors.

Conclusions
A considerable proportion of CAYA cancer survivors suffers from CRF even years after the end of treatment.

Implications for Cancer Survivors
We recommend that healthcare providers adopt regular screening to detect and treat CRF early and positively influence survivors’ health and quality of life.
$$^1$$H, $$^{13}$$C and $$^{15}$$N assignments of human Grb2 free of ligands

Published: August 2020

AbstractGrowth factor receptor-bound 2 (Grb2) is an important link in the receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cascades. It is involved in crucial processes, both physiological (mainly embryogenesis) and pathological (different types of cancer). Several binding partners of all three domains (SH3–SH2–SH3) of this adaptor protein are well described, such as ErbB family members for the SH2 domain and Sos for the SH3 domains. How the different domains interact with each other, both structurally and functionally, is still unclear. These interactions could be essential for regulation processes, and therefore are of great interest. Although a lot of structural data on Grb2 exist, they describe either individual domains, ligand-bound conformations, or frozen pictures of the protein captured by crystallography. Here we report the assignment of backbone and of $$^{13}\hbox {C}_\beta$$

chemical shifts of full-length, apo-Grb2 in solution. In addition to the assigned conformation corresponding to three well-folded domains, a set of peaks compatible with the presence of an unfolded conformation of the N-terminal SH3 domain is observed. This assignment paves the way for future studies of inter-domain interactions and dynamics that have to be taken into account when studying the regulation of Grb2 interactions and signaling pathways.
CoAl LDH@Ni-MOF-74 S-Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution
Authors: Jin Zhiliang , Li Yanbing , Ma Qingxiang 
Published: August 2020

AbstractMetal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been considered to be one of the most promising and worthy hot spot materials to develop advanced catalysts for efficient hydrogen evolution due to their prominent characteristics, including unique structures, environmentally friendly nature, high redox activities, and homogeneously effective utilization of transition metal atoms. In this work, the delicate S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst, CoAl LDH@Ni-MOF-74, was rationally designed and successfully constructed by coupling Ni-MOF-74 with CoAl LDH based on their peculiar structure, excellent electronic properties, and opposite surface potential for enhancing hydrogen generation activity under visible light irradiation. The CoAl LDH nanolayers evenly and dispersedly load on the surface of Ni-MOF-74. The CoAl LDH@Ni-MOF-74 exhibited higher photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity compared with Ni-MOF-74 and CoAl LDH alone, mainly because the formation of the CoAl LDH@Ni-MOF-74 S-scheme heterojunction accelerated the recombination of several electrons (from conduction band (CB) of Ni-MOF-74) and holes (from valence band (VB) of CoAl LDH) and prevented the recombination of other electrons (from CB of CoAl LDH) and holes (from VB of Ni-MOF-74).

AbstractIn this paper, the photochemical conversion process of aromatic hydrocarbons in Balakhani oil well (BO) as a case study was investigated. To study the composition of BO, first, it has been separated into the first, second, third, and fourth groups of aromatics using chromatography absorption column. It has been established that the composition of the separated groups is mainly composed of mono-, tri-, and tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It has been shown that the optical densities of the absorption bands corresponding to bi-, tri-, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons decrease with increasing the photo-irradiation period, hence their maximum absorption band undergoes the hypsochromatic shift, which is characteristic for electron donor substances. It has been determined that the photochemical conversion process in the sample oil (BO) occurs with radical-chain and molecular mechanisms. As a result of the photochemical conversion process of arene-type aromatic hydrocarbons, the first difference during the photooxidation of endoperoxides, hydroxynones, quinones, and phenes is the formation of cyclic peroxides and quinones.
