AbstractDespite the initial successful weight loss after bariatric surgery, a significant amount of patients experience weight loss failure and weight regain. Several factors are known to contribute to this, though the impact of employment status is unknown. The objective of this systematic review was to examine the impact of employment status on post-surgical weight loss outcomes. Eight studies were included with a follow-up ranging between 2 and 10 years. Employed patients seemed to present more weight loss (9.0–11.0% EWL, 1.3–1.6% BMI loss) compared to unemployed patients, but none of these numbers were statistically significant. Moreover, there were contrasting findings in terms of weight regain. This review may highlight the importance of working status after bariatric surgery and warrants further investigation on this topic.

Procrastination and problematic new media use: the mediating role of future anxiety
Authors: Przepiorka Aneta , Blachnio Agata , Cudo Andrzej 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIn recent years, the new media have become so attractive that they are used for meetings, entertainment, and work. People more and more often use Facebook or phones instead of doing their work or family duties. The main aim of the present study was to test the mediating role of future anxiety in the relationship between procrastination and problematic new media use. The participants were students (N = 478), aged 18 to 27 (M = 19.93, SD = 1.77); 64% of the sample were women. The General Procrastination Scale, the Decisional Procrastination Scale, the Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire, the Adapted Mobile Phone Use Habits, and the Future Anxiety Scale—Short Form were used. The study showed that those students who procrastinated often reported a high tendency to engage in problematic new media use and a high level of future anxiety. The findings of the study have important implications for research on problematic Facebook and mobile phone use. They may be applicable in the work of psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists, both in prevention and in developing online addiction therapies.
Mehr Männer in soziale Berufe?
Authors: Booth Susanna 
Published: May 2021

ZusammenfassungDie Forderung nach mehr Männern in sozialen Berufen wird seit einigen Jahren wiederkehrend in Politik, Medien und im Fachdiskurs aufgegriffen. Sie richtet sich dabei auf Tätigkeitsfelder, die alltagssprachlich als „Frauenberufe“ bezeichnet werden, da die sozialen Berufe sowohl historisch als auch aktuell einen hohen Frauenanteil aufweisen. Sie entstanden und professionalisierten sich zugleich als Frauenberufe im Kontext der gesellschaftlichen Unterscheidung einer öffentlichen, „männlichen“ Sphäre der Produktionsarbeit sowie einer privaten, „weiblichen“ Sphäre der Reproduktionsarbeit. Obwohl bereits einige Diskursanalysen zur Forderung nach „mehr Männern“ vorliegen, wurde die Ebene der Träger in sozialen Berufen bisher nicht untersucht. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt vor diesem Hintergrund auf Basis einer wissenssoziologischen Diskursanalyse, wie Gender im Diskurs um „mehr Männer in soziale Berufe“ auf der Ebene der Träger hervorgebracht wird. Letztere werden am Beispiel der kirchlichen Wohlfahrtsverbände als größte Anstellungsträger untersucht. Als analytische Perspektiven dienen Gender als diskursive Konstruktion, hegemoniale Männlichkeit und Intersektionalität. Als Ergebnis zeigen sich drei verschiedene Diskurse, die jeweils spezifische Gender- und Männlichkeitskonstruktionen hervorbringen. Insgesamt konstruieren die Diskurse jedoch eine heteronormative Zweigeschlechtlichkeit, wobei innerhalb der Diskurse das Verhältnis von Natur und Kultur als Ursache dieser variiert.
Deutungen häuslicher Gewalt von Betroffenen im Kontext normativer Bilder und gesellschaftlicher Erwartungshaltungen
Authors: Nef Susanne 
Published: May 2021

ZusammenfassungIm öffentlichen Diskurs, sozialpädagogischer Praxis und Gewaltforschung lässt sich feststellen, dass häufig von einer Essenz des Phänomens „Gewalt“ ausgegangen wird. Auch in der empirischen Forschung zu Gewalt in Paarbeziehungen wird zumeist a priori gesetzt, was darunter gefasst wird. Wie Betroffene das Erlebte selbst deuten, steht hingegen nur sehr selten im Fokus. Basierend auf einer qualitativen Studie wird daher der Frage nachgegangen, wie Personen, die häusliche Gewalt in Paarbeziehungen erfahren haben, die Gewalt und ihre Gewalterfahrungen deuten und wie diese Deutungen sozial hergestellt werden. Anhand einer theoretischen Modellierung wird aufgezeigt, dass Gewalt in Beziehungen nicht auf situative Dynamiken reduziert werden kann und nicht nur Gegenstand (körperlicher) Erfahrung ist, sondern im Zentrum von intersubjektiven Deutungs- und Aushandlungsprozessen steht, die sich u. a. an normativen Bildern und gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen orientieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird mit Blick auf die sozialpädagogische Forschungspraxis für den Zugang der verstehenden Gewaltforschung argumentiert.

AbstractTo understand the long-term climate and glaciological evolution of the ice sheet in the region bordering the Weddell Sea, the British Antarctic Survey has undertaken a series of successful ice core projects drilling to bedrock on Berkner Island, James Ross Island and the Fletcher Promontory. A new project, WACSWAIN, seeks to increase this knowledge by further drilling to bedrock on two further ice rises in this region. In a single-season project, an ice core was recovered to bedrock at 651 m on Skytrain Ice Rise using an ice core drill in a fluid-filled borehole. In a second season, a rapid access drill was used to recover ice chips to 323 m on Sherman Island in a dry borehole, though failing to reach the bedrock which was at an estimated depth of 428 m.

AbstractObjectives:Hurricane Sandy made landfall across New York City (NYC) in October 2012, but the long-term consequences of the storm are still not fully understood. We analyzed NYC data to quantify the extent of Hurricane Sandy-related concerns over time.Methods:Data on NYC 311 Call Center inquiries were downloaded from the NYC Open Data website (October 29, 2012 to May 26, 2020) to provide information about Sandy-related calls using the keywords “Hurricane” and “Sandy”.Results:In the first 2 wk after Hurricane Sandy, 15.6% of 311 calls were related to the storm. From 2012 to 2020, the volume of inquiries decreased from 87,209 to 25. The majority of calls in 2012 (49,181; 56%) was requesting general Hurricane Sandy information, and in 2020 assistance with property restoration (20; 79%)Conclusions:The long-term consequences of Hurricane Sandy in NYC persist into 2020, almost 8 y after the initial event. The needs of Hurricane Sandy victims have changed over time from requiring general information regarding closures, property destruction and immediate disaster relief to aid with legal, financial, and mental health consequences. Disaster response policy-makers must understand the changing needs of NYC residents to provide resources and prepare for future disasters.
Skew characters and cyclic sieving

Published: May 2021

AbstractIn 2010, Rhoades proved that promotion on rectangular standard Young tableaux, together with the associated fake-degree polynomial, provides an instance of the cyclic sieving phenomenon. We extend this result tom-tuples of skew standard Young tableaux of the same shape, for fixedm, subject to the condition that themth power of the associated fake-degree polynomial evaluates to nonnegative integers at roots of unity. However, we are unable to specify an explicit group action. Put differently, we determine in which cases themth tensor power of a skew character of the symmetric group carries a permutation representation of the cyclic group.To do so, we use a method proposed by Amini and the first author, which amounts to establishing a bound on the number of border-strip tableaux of skew shape. Finally, we apply our results to the invariant theory of tensor powers of the adjoint representation of the general linear group. In particular, we prove the existence of a bijection between permutations and Stembridge’s alternating tableaux, which intertwines rotation and promotion.

AbstractWe aim to examine the relation of several folate forms (5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-mTHF), unmetabolised folic acid (UMFA) and MeFox) with kidney function and albuminuria, which remained uncertain. The cross-sectional study was conducted in 18 757 participants from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2018. The kidney outcomes were reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (<60 ml/min/1·73 m2), microalbuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) of 30–299 mg/g) and macroalbuminuria (ACR ≥ 300 mg/g). Overall, there were significant inverse associations between serum 5-mTHF and kidney outcomes with significant lower prevalence of reduced eGFR (OR, 0·71; 95 % CI: 0·57, 0·87) and macroalbuminuria (OR, 0·65; 95 % CI: 0·46, 0·91) in participants in quartiles 3–4 (v.quartiles 1–2; bothPfor trendacross quartiles <0·05). In contrast, there were significant positive relationship between serum UMFA and kidney outcomes with significant higher prevalence of reduced eGFR in participants in quartiles 2–4 (v.quartile 1; OR, 2·12; 95 % CI: 1·45, 3·12;Pfor trend<0·001) and higher prevalence of macroalbuminuria in participants in quartile 4 (v.quartiles 1–3; OR, 1·46; 95 % CI: 1·06, 2·01;Pfor trend<0·001). However, there was no significant associations of 5-mTHF and UMFA with microalbuminuria. In addition, there were significant positive relationships of serum MeFox with reduced eGFR, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria (allPfor trend<0·01). In conclusion, higher 5-mTHF level, along with lower UMFA and MeFox level, was associated with lower prevalence of kidney outcomes, which may help counsel future clinical trials and nutritional guidelines regarding the folate supplement.
Principal component analysis of textural characteristics of fluvio-lacustrine sandstones and controlling factors of sandstone textures
Authors: Zheng Dong-Yu , Wu Si-Xuan 
Published: May 2021

AbstractTextures are important features of sandstones; however, their controlling factors are not fully understood. We present a detailed textural analysis of fluvio-lacustrine sandstones and discuss the influences of provenance and depositional environments on sandstone textures. The upper Permian – lowermost Triassic Wutonggou sandstones in the Bogda Mountains, NW China, are the focus of this study. Sandstone thin-sections were studied by point counting and their textures were analysed using statistical and principal component analysis. Fluvial lithic, fluvial feldspathic, deltaic lithic, deltaic feldspathic, littoral lithic and littoral feldspathic sandstone were classified and compared. These comparisons indicate that lithic and feldspathic sandstones from the same depositional settings have significant differences in graphic mean, graphic standard deviation and roundness; in contrast, sandstones from different depositional settings but with similar compositions have limited differences in textures. Moreover, three principal components (PCs) are recognized to explain 75% of the total variance, of which the first principal component (PC1) can explain 44%. In bivariate plots of the PCs, sandstones can be distinguished by composition where lithic and feldspathic sandstones are placed in different fields of the plots along the axis of PC1. However, sandstones from different depositional settings overlap and show no clear division. These results indicate that provenance, mainly the source lithology, is the most significant controlling factor on sandstone texture, whereas the depositional environment has limited influence. This study improves our understanding of textural characteristics of fluvio-lacustrine sandstones and their controlling factors, and shows the potentiality of principal component analysis in sandstone studies.
Is sonographic intra-nodular vascularity a reliable predictor of thyroid malignancy? A UK tertiary centre study
Authors: Omakobia E , McClean S , England J , Walden A 
Published: May 2021

AbstractObjectiveBritish Thyroid Association 2014 guidelines emphasised ultrasound assessment of nodules. One ultrasonographic differentiator of debatable relevance is intra-nodular vascularity. This is the first UK study conducted to address this question.MethodsUltrasound reports for thyroid surgery patients over 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. Reports documenting ‘intra-nodular vascularity or flow’ were analysed. Reports identifying peripheral vascularity only or no intra-nodular flow formed the control group. Concordance with final histology was used to determine the odds ratio for malignancy.ResultsA total of 306 patients were included, and 119 (38.9 per cent) nodules demonstrated intra-nodular vascularity. Of these, 60 (50.4 per cent) were malignant compared with 42 per cent in the control group. Intra-nodular vascularity was not a statistically significant predictor of malignancy with an odds ratio of 1.39 (p = 0.18, 95 per cent confidence interval, 0.86–2.23).ConclusionIntra-nodular vascularity in isolation was not a reliable predictor of malignancy. This supports other world literature studies. Although intra-nodular flow should not be relied upon in isolation, interpretation in conjunction with other suspicious findings enhances the predictive value.

Published: May 2021

AbstractTransitions for older persons from long-term care (LTC) to the emergency department (ED) and back, can result in adverse events. Effective communication among care settings is required to ensure continuity of care. We implemented a standardized form for improving consistency of documentation during LTC to ED transitions of residents 65 years of age or older, via emergency medical services (EMS), and back. Data on form use and form completion were collected through chart review. Practitioners’ perspectives were collected using surveys. The form was used in 90/244 (37%) LTC to ED transitions, with large variation in data element completion. EMS and ED reported improved identification of resident information. LTC personnel preferred usual practice to the new form and twice reported prioritizing form completion before calling 911. To minimize risk of harmful unintended consequences, communication forms should be implemented as part of broader quality improvement programs, rather than as stand-alone interventions.
THE WIND GOD AND THE DESCENT OF THE TZITZIMITL: NEW INSIGHTS ON THE ICONOGRAPHY AND PROVENANCE OF THE MOSAIC-ENCRUSTED BIRD HEAD AT THE FRIEDENSTEIN PALACE, GOTHA, GERMANY
Authors: Domenici Davide , Dupey García Élodie 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe Friedenstein Palace in Gotha, Germany, holds a Late Postclassic Mesoamerican bird head sculpture made of wood encrusted with precious stone and shell mosaic. Although known since the nineteenth century, scholars have not given the artifact the attention it deserves. Based on observations made during a thorough in situ inspection, we provide a detailed description of the object, stressing both technological and aesthetic aspects, documented through new photos and reconstructive drawings prepared by Nicolas Latsanopoulos. Then, we offer an interpretation of the artifact's iconography, demonstrating it should be understood as a representation of the Wind God in its manifestation as a Tzitzimitl, a category of deities associated with creation and destruction; an aspect made evident in the small figure adorning the avian forehead. We finally reconstruct the collection history of the object, suggesting that the Giustiniani family, a prominent Roman noble family renowned for its collecting activities, once owned the sculpture; in turn, this proposal might imply that the Dominican friar Domingo de Betanzos brought the mosaic to Italy in 1532 and that it might be originally from the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley or, more broadly, from the south-central area of the modern state of Puebla.
Do platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have a predictive value on pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) results?

AbstractBackground:It is difficult to predict the complications and prognosis of ECMO, which is gaining widespread use in patients with pediatric surgery. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are emerging inflammatory markers that can be calculated from complete blood count, which is a cheap and easily accessible laboratory analysis. The ratios between cellular elements in peripheral blood have been demonstrated to provide information on inflammation, infection, and immune response.Methods:Sixty-seven patients who needed ECMO application after undergoing pediatric cardiovascular surgery in our clinic, between May 2005 and April 2020, were included in this study. The age of patients varied between 4 days and 17 years with a mean of 30.59 ± 147.26 months.Results:The relationships between PLR or NLR values and various blood parameters and blood gas results were found to be statistically nonsignificant in our group of pediatric ECMO recipients. Even if the effect of PLR and NLR values on mortality and prognosis is statistically nonsignificant in patients who need ECMO after congenital heart surgery, PLR and NLR are typically elevated in the postoperative period. An increase in these values above a certain threshold may be a statistically significant indicator for the prediction of mortality.Conclusions:There are few studies in the literature concerning PLR and NLR values in patients with pediatric heart surgery. We consider this study will make way for new studies in the future.

AbstractAn unusual devastating tsunami occurred on September 28, 2018 after a strike‐slip faulting earthquake in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The induced tsunami struck Palu city with ∼4‐m flow depth. We performed two analyses to investigate the source of the tsunami. We first conducted the teleseismic source inversion and obtained the overall slip distribution of the strike‐slip fault. Our tsunami simulation from the coseismic deformation of the seismically estimated strike‐slip faulting produced a tsunami comparable to the leading part of the observation at Pantoloan. In order to reconstruct the detailed slip distribution on the fault plane, we then jointly utilized the tsunami waveform and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Because of the lack of SAR data in the bay, the tsunami data is necessary to constrain the offshore slip distribution, which directly induces the tsunami. The inverted source model shows a strike‐slip fault which consists of three segments extending from the epicenter to the south of 1.4°S with two bends and two asperities around Palu city. The joint inversion model accurately reconstructs the observed surface displacements and the leading part of the tsunami waveform. Our result exhibits the significant contribution of the strike‐slip faulting to the tsunami, but it also suggests additional tsunami sources, such as landslides, for the high inundations near Palu bay. The result also indicates that regional devastating tsunamis can be generated by an onshore strike‐slip fault with localized large dip slip.

AbstractAmong the natural ecosystems, forests and wetlands emit a sizable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) through autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration and bacterial activities. Interestingly, some evidence suggests that a significant amount of CH4 is generated by the trees in forested ecosystems. The net ecosystem exchange (NEE), measured by the eddy covariance (EC) method, typically represents the net CO2 flux arising from the photosynthetic and respiration processes in the biosphere. This flux is subsequently partitioned into two components, the respired carbon and the assimilated carbon. However, the usual method of partitioning introduces significant errors in each of these fluxes. The present study was undertaken to address this issue where the NEE partitioning was constrained by using the carbon isotopic ratios of CO2. We used a real‐time in situ analyzer in a tropical forest in northeast India, the Kaziranga National Park. The greenhouse gas analyzer provided CO2 and CH4 concentrations, as well as their carbon isotopic ratios. The isotopic data were used to partition the EC‐derived NEE values and derive the isoflux values. Additionally, the isotopic data provided evidence of plant‐generated CH4 in conformity with some recent studies, which requires further investigation.
Quantifying the Occurrence of Record Hot Years Through Normalized Warming Trends

Published: May 2021

AbstractSurface air temperature trends and extreme events are of global concern and they are related. Here, we show that the occurrence of record hot years over different latitudes from 1960 to 2019 are more strongly correlated with the observational annual mean temperature trends normalized by internal variability. Compared with the raw trends showing Arctic amplification, the normalized trends show a tropical amplification over land. Two hot spots with more frequent occurrence of record hot years are identified: northern hemisphere ocean (vs. land) and southern hemisphere tropical land (vs. mid‐ and high‐latitude lands). Ensemble mean results from 32 Earth system models agree with observations better than individual models, but they do not reproduce observed large differences in correlations across latitudes between normalized trends and record‐breaking events over land versus ocean. Our results enable the quantification of record hot year occurrence through normalized warming trends and provide new metrics for model evaluation and improvement.
