Aims. Our aim is to quantify the impact of systematic effects on the inference of cosmological parameters from cosmic shear.
Methods. We present an “end-to-end” approach that introduces sources of bias in a modelled weak lensing survey on a galaxy-by-galaxy level. We propagated residual biases through a pipeline from galaxy properties at one end to cosmic shear power spectra and cosmological parameter estimates at the other end. We did this to quantify how imperfect knowledge of the pipeline changes the maximum likelihood values of dark energy parameters.
Results. We quantify the impact of an imperfect correction for charge transfer inefficiency and modelling uncertainties of the point spread function for Euclid, and find that the biases introduced can be corrected to acceptable levels.
Einfluss der Fissurenversiegelung auf die Zahngesundheit von Weimarer Grundschülern – Eine longitudinale Beobachtungsstudie unter Alltagsbedingungen
Authors: Heinemann F. , Ifland S. , Heinrich-Weltzien R. , Schüler I. M. 
Published: February 2020

ZusammenfassungZiel dieser Beobachtungsstudie war es, den Einfluss der Häufigkeit und den Zeitpunkt der Applikation von Fissurenversiegelungen (FV) auf den Kariesbefall von Grundschülern unter Alltagsbedingungen zu bewerten.
Methodik Der Kariesbefall und die Häufigkeit von FV bei 7- bis 10-jährigen Weimarer Grundschülern (n = 505), die im Zeitraum 2004 – 2009 an 4 aufeinanderfolgenden Vorsorgeuntersuchungen teilgenommen hatten, wurden aus dem Datengut des Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes extrahiert und analysiert. Es wurde die Anzahl intakter FV und der Kariesbefall nach WHO-Standard (1997) erfasst.
Ergebnisse 34,9% der Schüler hatten mindestens eine, 10% 4 FV. Bei Kindern ohne FV lag ein höherer Kariesbefall im Vergleich zu Gleichaltrigen mit FV (0,2 DT/0,4 DMFT vs. 0,1 DT/0,2 DMFT) vor. Schüler mit 4 FV zeigten den geringsten Kariesbefall (0 DT/0 DMFT). Je früher eine FV appliziert wurde, desto geringer war die D-Komponente (0,1 DT vs. 0,2 DT). Grundschüler mit weniger als 4 FV hatten ein 4,4-fach höheres Kariesrisiko (OR 4,36) im bleibenden Gebiss als Gleichaltrige mit 4 FV.
Schlussfolgerung Auch unter Alltagsbedingungen ist die FV eine effektive kariespräventive Maßnahme. Eine frühzeitige Anwendung und komplette Versiegelung aller 4 Molaren kann im gesamten bleibenden Gebiss die Kariesvorbeugung optimieren.
How environments get to the skin: biosensory ethnography as a method for investigating the relation between psychosis and the city
Authors: Winz Marc , Söderström Ola 
Published: February 2020

AbstractEpidemiological research in psychiatry has established robust evidence of the link between urban living and psychosis, but the situated experience of the city, as well as the precise ecology of psychosis remain largely unexplored. In this context, the aim of this paper is to discuss the productive potential of a ‘re-vitalized’ biosocial geographical thinking and researching on urban mental health. We do so through a methodological proposition. First, we discuss the need for a biosocial approach to the city/psychosis nexus and argue that a broader biological view, beyond epigenetics and neurosciences and a more precise investigation of ‘the social’ need to be developed. Second, a telling and recurring motto of recent reflections on biosocial processes is to understand how the environment or the social ‘gets under the skin’. We suggest examining a specific place in this pathway, the skin itself. This leads us to expose a methodology using electrodermal activity (EDA), combined with ethnographic observations and interviews, as a strategy for analysing ecological processes in psychosis. In doing so, we discuss the potential of ‘biosensory ethnographies’ in studies of urban mental health and more broadly as a biosocial approach to the geography of health.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACTUnder acute hypoxia, multiple ion channels on the cell membrane are activated, causing cell swelling and eventually necrosis. LRRC8A is an indispensable protein of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), which participates in swelling and the acceleration of cell necrosis. In this study, we revealed a dynamic change in the expression level of the LRRC8 family during hypoxia in 3T3-L1 cells. The disruption of LRRC8A in 3T3-L1 cells was also associated with a significant anti-necrotic phenotype upon hypoxia accompanied by the reduced expression of necrosis-related genes. In vivo, differential expression of LRRC8 family members was also identified between high-altitude pigs and their low-altitude relatives. Taken these findings together, this study demonstrates the involvement of LRRC8A in hypoxia-induced cell necrosis.

Authors: Sun Mingxing , Wang Ting , Xu Xiangbo , Zhang Linxiu , Li Jing , Shi Yajuan 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
The coastal area of China has faced major strategic planning and environmental pollution, including heavy metals pollution. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of Cd pollution on the ecology in coastal areas of China. A soil Cd pollution database of 300 counties or districts in coastal areas was screened from academic dissertations and academic journal papers. Based on the database, the ecological risk was evaluated using entropy methods and probabilistic ecological risk assessment (PERA), and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods were analyzed. In China’s coastal areas, the soil Cd content in 10.33% of the counties was higher than the minimum of risk control value (1.5 mg/kg), and in 4.00% of the counties was higher than the maximum of risk control value (4.0 mg/kg). The ecological risks were highly compatible with national strategic planning areas. Guangxi Province, Zhejiang Province, and Guangdong Province ranked among the top three coastal areas for soil Cd contamination, and the ecological risks were 18.80%, 17.89%, and 15.77% at the maximum no-effect concentration/lowest effect concentration (NOEC/LOEC) level. This study can provide insights to policymakers regarding the protection of ecosystems threatened by heavy metals in the process of regional strategic planning.
Spatial hearing and speech understanding in noise in elderly
Authors: Zamiri Abdollahi Farzaneh , Delphi Maryam , Delphi Vafa 
Published: February 2020

Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate spatial hearing in elderly with and without complaint about speech understanding in noise.

Methods
Persian spatial hearing questionnaire (P-SHQ) was investigated in the elderly with and without speech understanding difficulty in noise and in normal young adults. ANOVA test was used for comparing results of the eight sub-characteristics of the P-SHQ among three groups.

Results
Both elderly groups had lower performance in source localisation, understanding speech in noise with target and noise sources from the front, understanding speech in noise with spatially separate target and noise sources. There was a significant difference between the two elderly groups in understanding speech in noise with target and noise sources from the front.

Conclusions
It shows that although the elderly have lower spatial performance than young adults, they still can benefit from the spatial separation of sound sources.
A core–shell multi-drug platform to improve gastrointestinal tract microbial health using 3D printing

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Improving the proliferation of probiotics (ca. Bifidobacterium) and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria (ca. Escherichia coli) is crucial for human health. This study demonstrates the fabrication of core–shell structure fibers using electrohydrodynamic 3D printing to help improve gastrointestinal tract microbial content. These fibers have various geometries and are capable of encapsulating stachyose into cellulose acetate (shell layer) and loading proteoglycan into polyacrylic resin II (core layer). The impact of membrane geometry on drug release behavior and the effect of exchanging the loading site on physicochemical properties of the resulting fibers were studied. The printed fibrous membranes possess a biphasic drug release profile in simulated intestinal fluid with a burst release within the first 12 h and a slower sustained release up to 72 h. The speed order priority for drug release rate of the printed membrane was whole-circle > semi-circle > square. Moreover, the membranes exhibit good biocompatibility on L929 cells and excellent improvement effects on Bifidobacterium bifidum, combining inhibition effects on Escherichia coli. In summary, the dual-drug fibrous membranes presented here and their precision-fabricated patterns pave a new direction for improving the gastrointestinal tract microbial ecosystem health in the human body.
Formation of stable 2D methylammonium antimony iodide phase for lead-free perovskite-like solar cells*
Authors: Giesbrecht Nadja , Weis Andreas , Bein Thomas 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The presence of lead in novel hybrid perovskite-based solar cells remains a significant issue regarding commercial applications. Therefore, antimony-based perovskite-like A3M2X9 structures are promising new candidates for low toxicity photovoltaic applications. So far, MA3Sb2I9 was reported to only crystallize in the ‘zero-dimensional’ (0D) dimer structure with wide indirect bandgap properties. However, the formation of the 2D layered polymorph is more suitable for solar cell applications due to its expected direct and narrow bandgap. Here, we demonstrate the first synthesis of phase pure 2D layered MA3Sb2I9, based on antimony acetate dissolved in alcoholic solvents. Using in situ XRD methods, we confirm the stability of the layered phase towards high temperature, but the exposure to 75% relative humidity for several hours leads to a rearrangement of the phase with partial formation of the 0D structure. We investigated the electronic band structure and confirmed experimentally the presence of a semi-direct bandgap at around 2.1 eV. Our work shows that careful control of nucleation via processing conditions can provide access to promising perovskite-like phases for photovoltaic applications.
Evidential nihilism
Authors: Magnus P D 
Published: February 2020

AbstractA considerable literature has grown up around the claim of Uniqueness, according to which evidence rationally determines belief. It is opposed to Permissivism, according to which evidence underdetermines belief. This paper highlights an overlooked third possibility, according to which there is no rational doxastic attitude. I call this 'Nihilism'. I argue that adherents of the other two positions ought to reject it but that it might, nevertheless, obtain at least sometimes.
Rainfall and nest site competition delay Mountain Bluebird and Tree Swallow breeding but do not impact productivity
Authors: Drake Anna , Martin Kathy 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Optimizing breeding phenology, an important aspect of fitness, is complex for migratory species as they must make key timing decisions early, and remotely, from breeding sites. We examined the role of weather (locally and cross-seasonally), cavity availability, and competitive exclusion in determining among-year variation in breeding phenology over 17 yr for 2 migratory, cavity-nesting birds: Mountain Bluebirds (Sialia currucoides; n = 462 nests) and Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor; n = 572) using natural tree cavities in British Columbia, Canada. We assessed weather effects within the winter and migratory range and at our study sites. We quantified competition as the proportion of cavities occupied by European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) (for both species) and Mountain Bluebirds (for Tree Swallow only) in each year. For 229 bluebird and 177 swallow nests with known fates, we tested whether late years resulted in reduced productivity. Although the effects were small, heavy rainfall and strong diurnal westerly winds during migration were associated with breeding delays for Mountain Bluebirds. However, cavity availability (earlier breeding with increases) had a 5–8 × greater effect on timing than migratory conditions. There was no evidence that starling competition delayed bluebirds. In Tree Swallows, greater local daily rainfall was associated with delayed breeding, as was starling abundance (the effect of starlings was 1.4 × smaller than that of rainfall). Neither bluebird abundance nor cavity availability changed swallow phenology. Neither species showed reduced productivity in late breeding years. In both species, individuals that bred late relative to conspecifics within-year had smaller clutches and greater probability of nest failure. We conclude that breeding ground conditions, particularly cavity limitation and local rainfall (for swallows), are important drivers of breeding phenology for our focal species, but that the productivity cost of late years, at least for Tree Swallows, is minimal.
Connecting mathematical models to genomes: joint estimation of model parameters and genome-wide marker effects on these parameters
Authors: Onogi Akio 
Published: February 2020

Abstract

Motivation
Parameters of mathematical models used in biology may be genotype-specific and regarded as new traits. Therefore, an accurate estimation of these parameters and the association mapping on the estimated parameters can lead to important findings regarding the genetic architecture of biological processes. In this study, a statistical framework for a joint analysis (JA) of model parameters and genome-wide marker effects on these parameters was proposed and evaluated.

Results
In the simulation analyses based on different types of mathematical models, the JA inferred the model parameters and identified the responsible genomic regions more accurately than the independent analysis (IA). The JA of real plant data provided interesting insights into photosensitivity, which were uncovered by the IA.

Availability and implementation
The statistical framework is provided by the R package GenomeBasedModel available at https://github.com/Onogi/GenomeBasedModel. All R and C++ scripts used in this study are also available at the site.

Characterization of sodium removal to ultrafiltration volume in a peritoneal dialysis outpatient cohort
Authors: Jaques David A , Davenport Andrew 
Published: February 2020

AbstractBackgroundFailure to control volume is the second most common cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique failure. Sodium is primarily removed by convection, but according to the three-pore model, water and sodium movements are not necessarily concordant. We wished to determine factors increasing sodium to water clearance in clinical practice.MethodsWe reviewed 24-h peritoneal dialytic sodium removal (DSR) and ultrafiltration (UF) volume in consecutive PD patients attending for routine assessment of peritoneal membrane function and adequacy testing. We used a regression model with the DSR/UF ratio as the dependent variable. A second model with DSR as the dependent variable and interaction testing for UF was used as sensitivity analysis.ResultsWe included 718 adult PD patients. Mean values were 51.8 ± 64.6 mmol/day and 512 ± 517 mL/day for DSR and UF, respectively. In multivariable analysis, DSR/UF ratio was positively associated with transport type (fast versus slow, P &lt; 0.001), serum sodium (P &lt; 0.001) and diabetes (P = 0.026), and negatively associated with PD mode [automated PD versus continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD), P &lt; 0.001] and the use of 2.27% glucose dialysate (P &lt; 0.001). Sensitivity analysis showed positive interaction with UF for transport type (P &lt; 0.001) and serum sodium (P = 0.032) and negative interaction for PD mode (P &lt; 0.001) and cycles number (P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionsCAPD, fast transport and high serum sodium allow relatively more sodium to be removed compared with water. Icodextrin has no effect on sodium removal once confounders have been accounted for. Although widely used in the assessment of PD patients, UF should not be considered as a surrogate for DSR in clinical practice.
A case report: upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy with a blocked persistent left-sided superior vena cava
Authors: Abdalwahid Kawan Fadhil , Chu Gavin S , Nicolson William B 
Published: February 2020

Abstract

Background
Pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) can occur in up to 9% of patients having a pacemaker. Pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy can be treated by upgrade to a biventricular pacemaker with a left ventricular (LV) lead implantation. The procedure can be technically challenging in patients with persistent left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC).

Case summary
We report the case of a 72-year-old gentleman with a PLSVC, who had a dual-chamber pacemaker implanted 15 years ago for complete heart block. After 12 years of good health, the gentleman developed breathlessness due to PICM. At upgrade to biventricular pacemaker, his coronary sinus was found to be occluded and a collateral branch was used to successfully position an LV lead. Marked clinical improvement was seen before representation with syncope after 2 years due to simultaneous failure of both LV and right ventricular leads. Subsequently, a right-sided de novo biventricular pacemaker was implanted. In this instance, the PLSVC was beneficial because it isolated the existing leads from the new implant, thereby reducing the risk of SVC obstruction.

Discussion
Although implantation of pacemaker leads through a PLSVC constitutes a challenging procedure due to manoeuvring difficulties of the pacing leads into the cardiac chambers, in this particular case, the presence of PLSVC was beneficial because it meant that no leads were present in the true SVC, reducing the risk of occlusion and avoiding the need for lead extraction.
Comparing global tomography-derived and gravity-based upper mantle density models
Authors: Root B C 
Published: February 2020

SUMMARY
Current seismic tomography models show a complex environment underneath the crust, corroborated by high-precision satellite gravity observations. Both data sets are used to independently explore the density structure of the upper mantle. However, combining these two data sets proves to be challenging. The gravity-data has an inherent insensitivity in the radial direction and seismic tomography has a heterogeneous data acquisition, resulting in smoothed tomography models with de-correlation between different models for the mid-to-small wavelength features.
Therefore, this study aims to assess and quantify the effect of regularization on a seismic tomography model by exploiting the high lateral sensitivity of gravity data. Seismic tomography models, SL2013sv, SAVANI, SMEAN2 and S40RTS are compared to a gravity-based density model of the upper mantle. In order to obtain similar density solutions compared to the seismic-derived models, the gravity-based model needs to be smoothed with a Gaussian filter. Different smoothening characteristics are observed for the variety of seismic tomography models, relating to the regularization approach in the inversions. Various S40RTS models with similar seismic data but different regularization settings show that the smoothening effect is stronger with increasing regularization. The type of regularization has a dominant effect on the final tomography solution.
To reduce the effect of regularization on the tomography models, an enhancement procedure is proposed. This enhancement should be performed within the spectral domain of the actual resolution of the seismic tomography model. The enhanced seismic tomography models show improved spatial correlation with each other and with the gravity-based model. The variation of the density anomalies have similar peak-to-peak magnitudes and clear correlation to geological structures. The resolvement of the spectral misalignment between tomographic models and gravity-based solutions is the first step in the improvement of multidata inversion studies of the upper mantle and benefit from the advantages in both data sets.
