ObjectivesThe present study aimed to assess the level of knowledge on peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) maintenance among nurses in China and to analyse the related factors influencing this variable.DesignA cross-sectional survey.SettingNinety-one hospitals at three different levels in Hunan Province, China: county hospitals, municipal hospitals and provincial hospitals.ParticipantsA total of 4110 registered nurses engaged in clinical work related to intravenous infusion.Primary and secondary outcome measuresNurses’ knowledge of PICC maintenance was measured by the score of an anonymous, self-reported questionnaire.ResultsThe mean score of PICC maintenance among 4110 nurses was 72.86±14.86. 83.5% of the participants exhibited a score of 60 or above, and 34.1% of them exhibited a good grade with a score of 80 or above. The difference in the correct rate among different dimensions was statistically significant (H=17.721, p<0.01). The generalised linear model indicated that the factors influencing the nurses’ PICC maintenance knowledge included gender, age, professional title, work setting and previous history of PICC maintenance training.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the knowledge of PICC maintenance was at a medium level among nurses in Hunan province, China. Multiple steps should be taken to improve the nurses’ PICC maintenance knowledge, including disseminating PICC maintenance knowledge in multiple ways, such as courses, lectures, seminars and new media. Particular attention should be given to populations who responded poorly in this survey, and targeted education for nurses should be distributed based on their performance on specific dimensions, such as the replacement of dressing and needle-free connectors. In addition, the quality of the nurses’ practical performance could be measured in the future.

ObjectiveThe role of vitamin K in the regulation of vascular calcification is established. However, the association of dietary vitamins K1 and K2 with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is inconclusive.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingWe followed participants in the community-based Hordaland Health Study from 1997 - 1999 through 2009 to evaluate associations between intake of vitamin K and incident (new onset) CHD. Baseline diet was assessed by a past-year food frequency questionnaire. Energy-adjusted residuals of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 intakes were categorised into quartiles.Participants2987 Norwegian men and women, age 46–49 years.MethodsInformation on incident CHD events was obtained from the nationwide Cardiovascular Disease in Norway (CVDNOR) Project. Multivariable Cox regression estimated HRs and 95% CIs with test for linear trends across quartiles. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, total energy intake, physical activity, smoking and education. A third model further adjusted K1 intake for energy-adjusted fibre and folate, while K2 intake was adjusted for energy-adjusted saturated fatty acids and calcium.ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 11 years, we documented 112 incident CHD cases. In the adjusted analyses, there was no association between intake of vitamin K1 and CHD (HRQ4vsQ1 = 0.92 (95% CI 0.54 to 1.57), p for trend 0.64), while there was a lower risk of CHD associated with higher intake of energy-adjusted vitamin K2 (HRQ4vsQ1 = 0.52 (0.29 to 0.94), p for trend 0.03). Further adjustment for potential dietary confounders did not materially change the association for K1, while the association for K2 was slightly attenuated (HRQ4vsQ1 = 0.58 (0.28 to 1.19)).ConclusionsA higher intake of vitamin K2 was associated with lower risk of CHD, while there was no association between intake of vitamin K1 and CHD.Trial registration numberNCT03013725

Published: May 2020

Foliar fertilization is a potential strategy to supplement phosphorus (P) requirements when conditions permit. In 2016 and 2017, canola, wheat, and pea were grown in a randomized complete block design trial near Pilger, SK, Canada. Each crop received a total P application of 20 kg P2O5 ha−1, with varying proportions of the P applied as seed-placed monoammonium phosphate (MAP) supplemented with foliar KH2PO4 (0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) applied prior to anthesis. Under field conditions, yield response decreased as the proportion applied as seed-placed MAP decreased. The 100% foliar-applied P treatment in canola was able to maintain significantly higher yield than the unfertilized control in the absence of seed-placed MAP, indicating some uptake and response. Of the crops evaluated, canola was most responsive to P fertilization. Phytate content ranged from 68% to over 90% of total seed P, with the highest proportions found in wheat grain. Foliar P application had limited effect on phytate and grain iron content, but there appeared to be an inverse relationship between seed-placed MAP and grain zinc concentration that was less evident when P was applied in foliar form. In this study, foliar P application was unable to substitute for seed-placed MAP and overall had a marginal effect on grain yield and P uptake as well as seed nutritional value.

AbstractThe measurement of $$K^{*}(892)^0$$K∗(892)0 resonance production via its $$K^{+}\pi ^{-}$$K+π- decay mode in inelastic p+p collisions at beam momentum 158 $$\text{ Ge }\text{ V }\!/\!c$$GeV/c ($$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=17.3$$sNN=17.3 $$\text{ Ge }\text{ V }$$GeV) is presented. The data were recorded by the NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The template method was used to extract the $$K^{*}(892)^0$$K∗(892)0 signal and double-differential transverse momentum and rapidity spectra were obtained. The full phase-space mean multiplicity of $$K^{*}(892)^0$$K∗(892)0 mesons was found to be $$(78.44 \pm 0.38 \mathrm {(stat)} \pm 6.0 \mathrm {(sys)) \cdot 10^{-3}}$$(78.44±0.38(stat)±6.0(sys))·10-3. The NA61/SHINEresults are compared with the Epos1.99 and Hadron Resonance Gas models as well as with world data from p+p and nucleus–nucleus collisions.
Quantum speedup in noninertial frames
Authors: Xu Kai , Zhu Han-Jie , Zhang Guo-Feng , Wang Jie-Ci , Liu Wu-Ming 
Published: May 2020

AbstractWe investigate the speedup evolution of the system under the influence of the Unruh effect, where one of the observers (e.g., Bob) is uniformly accelerated. We show that acceleration can be beneficial to the evolution speed of the system, even in the presence of noise. Here two distinct dissipation mechanisms are considered, one where the total system is in a noise channel and the second where only Bob’s qubit is in a noisy channel. Interestingly, for the total system in the amplitude damping channel and depolarizing channel, the evolution speed of the system may increase monotonously with the increase of acceleration, which is in stark contrast to the case where only Bob’s qubit undergoing a noise channel. We find that the reason behind these behaviors are due to the competition mechanism between the Unruh effect and the dissipation effect, illustrated by the analytical formula of quantum speed limit time derived under quasi-inertial frame and strong dissipation regime.
Geochronology of the Iberian Pyrite Belt and the Sierra Norte Batholith: lower plate magmatism during supercontinent amalgamation?
Authors: Paslawski Lori E. , Braid James A. , Quesada Cecilio , McFarlane C. M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Protracted magmatism has long been recognized in the exotic South Portuguese Zone of southern Iberia where Early–Late Devonian volcano-sedimentary successions potentially record processes associated with ocean closure and continental collision associated with the formation of Pangaea. Collectively, these rocks represent a bimodal, predominantly submarine volcanic succession with massive sulfides spatially associated with basalts and rhyolites. Volcanic rocks are intruded by the voluminous Sierra Norte Batholith. Although the region hosts some of the world's largest ore deposits, the temporal and genetic relationships between the Iberian Pyrite Belt, the Sierra Norte Batholith and the evolution of the Variscan Orogen remain enigmatic. In an attempt to better understand these complexities, field investigations and targeted geochronology were completed throughout the volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, and the plutonic rocks of the proximal Sierra Norte Batholith. Our results suggest that the emplacement of the pyrite belt was both pre- and syncollisional, and was initiated primarily by lithospheric delamination related to tectonic escape and crustal thinning of the lower plate. In this scenario, protracted magmatism occurred in both subaerial and subaqueous settings from

The Case for Custom Storage Backends in Distributed Storage Systems
Authors: Aghayev Abutalib , Weil Sage , Kuchnik Michael , Nelson Mark , Ganger Gregory R. , Amvrosiadis George 
Published: May 2020

For a decade, the Ceph distributed file system followed the conventional wisdom of building its storage backend on top of local file systems. This is a preferred choice for most distributed file systems today, because it allows them to benefit from the convenience and maturity of battle-tested code. Ceph’s experience, however, shows that this comes at a high price. First, developing a zero-overhead transaction mechanism is challenging. Second, metadata performance at the local level can significantly affect performance at the distributed level. Third, supporting emerging storage hardware is painstakingly slow.
Ceph addressed these issues with BlueStore, a new backend designed to run directly on raw storage devices. In only two years since its inception, BlueStore outperformed previous established backends and is adopted by 70% of users in production. By running in user space and fully controlling the I/O stack, it has enabled space-efficient metadata and data checksums, fast overwrites of erasure-coded data, inline compression, decreased performance variability, and avoided a series of performance pitfalls of local file systems. Finally, it makes the adoption of backward-incompatible storage hardware possible, an important trait in a changing storage landscape that is learning to embrace hardware diversity.

Abstract

Summary:
The mapping of SARS-CoV-2 human protein–protein interactions by Gordon and colleagues revealed druggable targets that are hijacked by the virus. Here, we highlight several oncogenic pathways identified at the host–virus interface of SARS-CoV-2 to enable cancer biologists to apply their knowledge for rapid drug repurposing to treat COVID-19, and help inform the response to potential long-term complications of the disease.

AbstractThe adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) is known to facilitate caspase-1 activation, which is essential for innate host immunity via the formation of the inflammasome complex, a multiprotein structure responsible for processing IL1β and IL18 into their active moieties. Here, we demonstrated that ASC-deficient CD8+ T cells failed to induce severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and had impaired capacity for graft rejection and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) activity. These effects were inflammasome independent because GVHD lethality was not altered in recipients of caspase-1/11–deficient T cells. We also demonstrated that ASC deficiency resulted in a decrease in cytolytic function, with a reduction in granzyme B secretion and CD107a expression by CD8+ T cells. Altogether, our findings highlight that ASC represents an attractive therapeutic target for improving outcomes of clinical transplantation.
Diplomatic Devices: the Social Lives of Foreign Timepieces in Late Sixteenth- and Early Seventeenth-Century Japan
Authors: Koch Angelika 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The present paper explores the social lives of European timepieces as a particular set of objects in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Japan, when the archipelago first encountered the “Southern Barbarians” from Portugal and Spain. Rather than viewing them solely as instruments of time measurement or as decorative objects, I discuss clocks as actors that moved within networks of exchange primarily between Europe and Japan, but also, significantly, within East Asia and Japan itself. Along their trajectory, these devices assumed shifting and at times contradictory meanings for various actors; this is particularly true in view of the fundamental clash between European and Japanese systems of time-reckoning, which essentially rendered early European-style mechanical clocks ‘timeless’ in Japan, with its equinoctial system of variable hours. For Jesuit missionaries and foreign emissaries who brought these early devices to Japan, they were timekeepers, objects of ecclesiastical use, paragons of European ingenuity, and above all diplomatic tools that granted access and established connections with the Japanese ruling elite. For the Japanese, by contrast, these global objects assumed meaning within their highly developed local gift-culture as desirable novelty items, particularly within the socially volatile environment of the unification of the country under Tokugawa control. My contention is that these microhistories of exchange help us understand why mechanical clocks did not have the same ‘revolutionary’ effect on time-reckoning in Japan as they did in Europe; the social lives of these objects strikingly illustrate the power imbalances in diplomatic negotiations that made Japan impervious to coercion by the European powers.
Ecology, Divinity, and Reason
Authors: Waters James W. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Eco-feminist Val Plumwood has argued that as heirs of rationalism, the developed world has created an ecological crisis that is truly a crisis of reason. Of primary concern is the “rationalist hyper-separation of human identity from nature,” which has caused a great epistemological schism between ethics and ecology. Assuming the ecological crisis is, as Plumwood argues, an epistemological crisis enflamed by the human/non-human, ethical/ecological divisions that take place in modern forms of rationalism, this essay argues that certain western interpretations of Christian divinity—particularly the notion of divinity purported by Thomas Aquinas—have historically supported hegemonic forms of rationalism and human supremacy. After showing that certain Thomist formulations of the divine have buttressed the anthropocentric elements of modern rationalism, I venture a reading of Christian divinity that is radically relational in character. This reading of the divine highlights the inseparability of the human and non-human, and begins doing so by emphasizing the intimate connection between human and non-human animality. Such a re-framing of divinity, I argue, could help bridge the human/non-human, ethical/ecological divides, complicate anthropocentric logic, and mitigate the vast eco-epistemological crisis of our day.
The development of tactile social interactions in Corydoras aeneus larvae
Authors: Riley Riva J. , Roe Thomas P. , Gillie Elizabeth R. , Manica Andrea 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Many social animals acquire social behaviours during development, and social experience during development can be vital for acquiring necessary social behaviours in adulthood. We investigated the development of a distinctive tactile interaction behaviour in Bronze Cory catfish, in which adults interact with one another tactilely during foraging and during group responses to threats. We found that larvae respond to applied tactile stimulation with a flight response significantly less often as larvae matured. This habituation to tactile stimulation is consistent with developing appropriate adult social behaviour. We also found that social exposure affects the larval response to tactile interactions with conspecifics, and that isolation in early life leads to a greater likelihood of responding to tactile interactions with conspecifics with a flight response. This suggests that social exposure is important for developing social tactile interaction behaviour and underscores the particular importance of early experience in social development.

Published: May 2020

Summary
Two new and one known species of Atetylenchus recovered from Dezful, Khuzestan Province, south-western Iran, are illustrated and described using morphological, morphometric and molecular data. Atetylenchus dezfuliensis n. sp. is characterised by medium-sized body 700-998 μm long, stylet 10.0-11.5 μm long, characteristic tail shape, first tapering regularly but then cylindrical to slightly clavate and 90-136 μm long, phasmids located at one-third anterior part of tail and short spicules 18.7 μm long. Atetylenchus longilabiatus n. sp. is characterised by small-sized body 593-720 μm long, prominent lip region, stylet 9.5-12.5 μm long, conical tail with hook-shaped terminus and 42-63 μm long, phasmids located near mid-tail and short spicules 17.5 μm long. Atetylenchus cf. graminus is characterised by small-sized body 643-787 μm long, stylet 10.7-11.7 μm long, vulva located at 51.7-55.1% of the body length, and conical tail with finely rounded end and 63-69 μm long. Molecular data are provided for the characterisation of this genus from these two new and one known species using ribosomal genes (18S and 28S rRNA). This genus is molecularly separated from Psilenchus, but closely related in both genes. These molecular markers showed different phylogenies for both genera; partial 18S showed their relationship with Tylenchidae, while 28S rRNA showed their relationship with Merliniidae. A key to the genus is provided for species identification.
Effects of temperatures on survival of Aphelenchoides besseyi in prolonged storage of rice grains
Authors: Hoshino Shigeru , Togashi Katsumi 
Published: May 2020

Summary
The white-tip nematode, Aphelenchoides besseyi, is a seed-borne ectoparasite of the rice plant Oryza sativa. Nematodes in dried rice seeds are in dehydrated quiescence or anhydrobiosis and are reactivated by rehydration. To understand the persistent parasitism better, the effects of temperature on nematode survival were examined during prolonged periods of seed storage. There was a marked difference in the survival rate among different temperatures; survival was lower at 20 and 25°C than at −5 to 10°C after storage for 190 days. No nematodes survived a storage period of 1313 days at 20 and 25°C. When rice seeds were held at 5°C, the survival rate of nematodes decreased during a period of 7315 days. The estimated instantaneous rate of mortality per month was higher in the early and late parts of the period than in the middle part. Another nematode population also showed a reduction in the survival rate during 6553 days storage at 5°C. In storage at −30°C, survival was not affected during a period of 6485 days. After storage at −30°C for 6546 days, 96% of rice seeds germinated, whereas 60-96% of seeds of two groups germinated after storage at 5°C for 6610-7373 days. Therefore, prolonged storage of rice seeds at 5 or −30°C was unlikely to disrupt the connection between rice plants and A. besseyi.
The LOSC as a Package Deal and Its Implications for Determination of Customary International Law
Authors: Liao Xuexia 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This article revisits the package deal nature of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) and its implications for determining customary international law. A survey of the case law illustrates that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has not given particular weight to the fact that the LOSC was negotiated and accepted as a package deal. Nevertheless, the ICJ’s declaration that Article 121, paragraph 3 of the LOSC is a customary rule tends to be based on a ‘package deal approach’, which focuses on the textual and logical links between the paragraphs that manifest an ‘indivisible régime’. By exploring the difficulties of determining the customary status of Article 76(2)–(7) concerning the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, which may arise in the pending Nicaragua v. Colombia II case, this article calls for a cautious attitude towards determination of customary rules from the LOSC.
