Authors: Wiechers Yannik , Kandler Christian 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung: Die aktuelle Studie prüfte die psychometrische Güte des deutschen Big Five Inventar-2 (BFI-2). Durch das Hinzuziehen von Bekannteneinschätzungen konnte neben der Selbstberichtform auch die Fremdberichtform untersucht werden. Der Fokus der Validierung lag hierbei auf der Internen Konsistenz, der Selbst-Andere-Übereinstimmung, dem Konsensus von Fremdeinschätzungen, der Strukturellen, Kriterien- und Inkrementellen Validität sowie der Messinvarianz über die Beurteilungsperspektive. Die Stichprobe bestand aus 2 288 Selbsteinschätzungen (61 % weiblich, Altersspanne: 14 – 89 Jahre) und 932 Fremdeinschätzungen (67 % weiblich, Altersspanne: 14 – 88 Jahre), die überwiegend von gut informierten Partner_innen, Freund_innen und Verwandten stammten. Interne Konsistenz, Selbst-Andere-Übereinstimmung und Fremdurteiler-Konsensus waren zufriedenstellend. Strukturgleichungsmodelle, welche die Selbst- und Fremdperspektive berücksichtigten, bestätigten die Fünf-Faktorenstruktur. Es zeigten sich erwartungskonforme Assoziationen zu Kriteriumsvariablen und der inkrementelle Mehrwert der Facettenebene wurde demonstriert. Eine partiell strikte Messinvarianz über die Beurteilungsperspektiven konnte erhärtet werden. Eine vorherige Validierung zur Selbstberichtform des BFI-2 wurden insofern repliziert und darüber hinaus durch die Bestätigung der psychometrischen Güte der Fremdberichtform erweitert.

Abstract
Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, with its global prevalence doubling over the past three decades. Despite advancements in antihypertensive therapies, approximately 50% of patients with hypertension fail to achieve their target blood pressure (BP) levels, underscoring the need for innovative care strategies. Patient care teams comprising multidisciplinary healthcare providers have shown promise in improving BP management. This systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of patient care teams involving physicians in hypertension management. To this end, PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and IchuShi-Web were comprehensively searched and 61 randomized controlled trials including 64,857 participants were identified. Compared with usual care, interventions by patient care teams significantly reduced office systolic BP (mean difference: −6.31 mmHg; 95% confidence interval: −7.71 to −4.90) and decreased the risk of uncontrolled BP by 27% (risk ratio: 0.73; 95% confidence interval: 0.68–0.79). Subgroup analyses demonstrated consistent BP reductions across various team leadership roles, such as physicians, nurses, and pharmacists, and across different intervention durations. These findings highlight the effectiveness of team-based BP management in achieving improved BP control, regardless of team composition or the follow-up period. Multidisciplinary care offers a viable approach to addressing the unmet needs of patients with hypertension, potentially improving cardiovascular outcomes. This evidence supports integrating patient care teams into hypertension management, particularly in settings requiring physician oversight. Future research should focus on refining team structures and tailoring interventions to diverse healthcare environments to enhance their impact.

Abstract
The hadal zone, >6 km deep, remains one of the least understood ecosystems on Earth. We address bioturbational structures in sediment cores from depths exceeding 7.5 km, collected during the IODP Expedition 386 in the Japan Trench. Micro-CT imaging on 20 core sections allowed to identify biogenic sedimentary structures (incipient trace fossils) and their colonization successions within gravity flow deposits. Their frequency, and consequent changes in substrate consistency, oxygenation and organic matter delivery and remineralization controlled the endobenthic colonization. The gravity-flow beds show recurring bioturbation successions: The initial colonization is characterized by deposit-feeding structures such as Phycosiphon, Nereites and Artichnus generating typically 20 cm thick intensively bioturbated fabrics. The final colonization stage comprises slender spiral, lobate and deeply penetrating straight and ramifying burrow systems such as Gyrolithes, Pilichnus and Trichichnus, interpreted to include burrows of microbe farming and chemosymbiotic invertebrates. The main factor precluding colonization is soupy substrate. Organic matter degradation and post-event upward expansion of the anoxic zone drive the change from deposit feeding to microbe-dependent feeding strategies.

Abstract
The quantum anomalous Hall effect in layered antiferromagnet MnBi2Te4 harbors a rich interplay between magnetism and topology, holding a significant promise for low-power electronic devices and topological antiferromagnetic spintronics. In recent years, MnBi2Te4 has garnered considerable attention as the only known material to exhibit the antiferromagnetic quantum anomalous Hall effect. However, this field faces significant challenges as the quantization at zero magnetic field depending critically on fabricating high-quality devices. In this article, we introduce a straightforward yet effective method to mitigate the detrimental effect of the standard fabrication on MnBi2Te4 by depositing an AlOx layer on the surface before fabrication. Optical contrast and magnetotransport measurements on over 50 MnBi2Te4 demonstrate that AlOx can effectively preserve the pristine states of the devices. Surprisingly, we find this simple method can significantly enhance the anomalous Hall effect towards quantization, which resolves a longstanding challenge in the field of MnBi2Te4. Scaling relation analysis further reveals the intrinsic mechanism of anomalous Hall effect dominated by Berry curvature at various magnetic configuration. By tuning the gate voltage, we uncover a gate independent magnetism in odd-layer MnBi2Te4 devices. Our experiments not only pave the way for the fabrication of high-quality dissipationless transport devices, but also advance the investigation of exotic topological quantum phenomena in 2D materials.
A semantic approach to mapping the Provenance Ontology to Basic Formal Ontology
Authors: Prudhomme Tim , De Colle Giacomo , Liebers Austin , Sculley Alec , Xie Peihong “Karl” , Cohen Sydney , Beverley John 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Provenance Ontology (PROV-O) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommended ontology used to structure data about provenance across a wide variety of domains. Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is a top-level ontology ISO/IEC standard used to structure a wide variety of ontologies, such as the OBO Foundry ontologies and the Common Core Ontologies (CCO). To enhance interoperability between these two ontologies, their extensions, and data organized by them, a mapping methodology and set of alignments are presented according to specific criteria which prioritize semantic and logical principles. The ontology alignments are evaluated by checking their logical consistency with canonical examples of PROV-O instances and querying terms that do not satisfy the alignment criteria as formalized in SPARQL. A variety of semantic web technologies are used in support of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles.
Double nanowire quantum dots and machine learning
Authors: Zieliński Michał 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We present an approach to estimate the single-particle energies in double InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots by combining an atomistic tight-binding approach with machine learning. The method works particularly well with a neural network and transfer learning, where we can accurately recover ground state energies with root-mean-square deviation around 1 meV by using only a small training set and capitalizing on earlier, smaller-scale computations. The training set is only a fraction of the multidimensional search space of possible dot sizes and inter-dot spacings. Besides the cases presented in this work, we expect this technique will interest other researchers involved in solving the inverse computational problem of matching spectra to nanostructure morphological properties.

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel design and development of a compact circularly polarized antenna operating at two distinct frequency bands, 2.5 GHz and 6 GHz. The innovation lies in using a modified circular patch and a uniquely designed feeding element, which optimize circular polarization performance while maintaining a low-profile form factor. Fabricated on an FR4 substrate with an overall thickness of 1.6 mm and dimensions of 62 mm × 62 mm × 1.6 mm, corresponding to approximately 0.5167λ × 0.5167λ × 0.0133λ at 2.5 GHz, the antenna achieves a compact configuration well-suited for space-constrained applications. Extensive simulations and measurements show close agreement, with axial ratios below 3 dB across both operational bands, ensuring effective circular polarization. The antenna achieves peak gains of 1.8 dBi at 2.5 GHz and 3.8 dBi at 6 GHz, highlighting its ability to combine compactness, dual-band functionality, and strong radiation characteristics. This proposed design provides a groundbreaking solution for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems, addressing the increasing demand for efficient, dual-band, and space-saving wireless communication solutions.

Abstract
Severe urban air pollution in China is driven by a synergistic conversion of SO2, NOx, and NH3 into fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Field studies indicated NO2 as an important oxidizer to SO2 in polluted atmospheres with low photochemical reactivity, but this rapid reaction cannot be explained by the aqueous reactive nitrogen chemistry in acidic urban aerosols. Here, using an aerosol optical tweezer and Raman spectroscopy, we show that the multiphase SO2 oxidation by NO2 is accelerated for two-order-of-magnitude by a copper catalyst. This reaction occurs on aerosol surfaces, is independent of pH between 3 and 5, and produces sulfate by a rate of up to 10 µg m-3
air hr-1 when reactive copper reaches a millimolar concentration in aerosol water – typical of severe haze events in North China Plain. Since copper and NO2 are companion emitters in air pollution, they can act synergistically in converting SO2 into sulfate in China’s haze.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have significant potential for disease modeling and cell therapies. However, their wide-spread application has faced challenges, including batch-to-batch variabilities, and notable distinctions when compared to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Some of these disparities can stem from using undefined culture conditions and the reprogramming procedure, however, the precise mechanisms remain understudied. Here, we compared gene expression data from over 100 iPSC and ESC lines cultivated under undefined and defined conditions. Defined conditions significantly reduced inter-PSC line variability, irrespective of PSC cell type, highlighting the importance of standardization to minimize PSC biases. This variability is concurrent with decreased somatic cell marker and germ layer differentiation gene expression and increased Ca2+-binding protein expression. Moreover, SERCA pump inhibition highlighted an important role for intracellular Ca2+ activity in maintaining pluripotency gene expression under defined conditions. Further understanding of these processes can help standardize and improve defined hPSC culture conditions.

Abstract
The applications of three-dimensional Si nanowire anodes in lithium-ion microbatteries have attracted great interest in the realization of high-capacity and integrated energy storage devices for microelectronics. Combining Si nanowires with carbon can improve the anode performance by aiding its mechanical stability during cycling. Here, we incorporate photolithography, cryogenic dry etching, and thermal evaporation as the commonly used methods in semiconductor technologies to fabricate carbon-coated Si nanowire anodes. The addition of amorphous carbon to Si nanowire anodes has an impact on increasing the initial areal capacity. However, a gradual decrease to 0.3 mAh cm−2 at the 100th cycle can be observed. The post-mortem analyses reveal different morphologies of Si nanowire anodes after cycling. It is indicated that carbon coating can help Si nanowires to suppress their volume expansion and reduce the excessively produced amorphous Si granules found in pristine Si nanowire anodes.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Evidence suggests that (almost) everyone dreams during their sleep and may actually do so for a large part of the night. Yet, dream recall shows large interindividual variability. Understanding the factors that influence dream recall is crucial for advancing our knowledge regarding dreams’ origin, significance, and functions. Here, we tackled this issue by prospectively collecting dream reports along with demographic information and psychometric, cognitive, actigraphic, and electroencephalographic measures in 217 healthy adults (18–70 y, 116 female participants, 101 male participants). We found that attitude towards dreaming, proneness to mind wandering, and sleep patterns are associated with the probability of reporting a dream upon morning awakening. The likelihood of recalling dream content was predicted by age and vulnerability to interference. Moreover, dream recall appeared to be influenced by night-by-night changes in sleep patterns and showed seasonal fluctuations. Our results provide an account for previous observations regarding inter- and intra-individual variability in morning dream recall.
Feeding Infants on Noninvasive Respiratory Support: Practice at One Academic Medical Center
Authors: Barnes Carolyn K. , Simpson Kit N. , Wilmskoetter Janina , Dooley Mary , Bonilha Heather S. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Infants requiring noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) are often orally fed, although data supporting the safety and efficacy of this practice are limited. This study aimed to identify the rate of this practice, the amount of support received during oral feeding, and characteristics of infants orally fed during NRS use; describe feeding expert involvement; and assess change from before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method:
Retrospective electronic health record data from one children's hospital were extracted and manually reviewed.

Results:

Results for 201 infants who required NRS during hospitalization in 2019 (
n
= 100) and 2022 (
n
= 101) were included, of which 91 (45.3%) were orally fed during NRS use. Of these, 33 were fed on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with a mean flow rate of 2.75 L per minute (
SD
= 2.2,
Mdn
= 2 [min–max: 2–14]) and mean fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO
2
) of 0.47 (
SD
= 0.31,
Mdn
= 0.30 [min–max: 0.21–1.0]). Thirty-seven feeding specialist consults were placed for infants fed during NRS use. Factors increasing odds of oral feeding during NRS use included not having a dysphagia or feeding difficulty diagnosis. Infants admitted during 2022 were more likely to have a respiratory diagnosis than in 2019 and were more likely to be orally fed during HFNC (50.0% [
n
= 25/50] in 2022 vs. 20.5% [
n
= 8/39] in 2019).

Conclusion:
These results suggest that feeding infants on NRS is common, that some infants are more likely to be orally fed than others, and that feeding experts are rarely consulted in this population despite limited safety and efficacy data related to this practice.
Perception Versus Comprehension of Bound Morphemes in Children Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing: The Pivotal Role of Form-Meaning Mapping
Authors: Barcroft Joe , Mauzé Elizabeth , Sommers Mitchell , Spehar Brent , Tye-Murray Nancy 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:

Bound morphemes are challenging for children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) to acquire and to use successfully. The challenge arises in part from limited access to spoken word forms as a result of reduced audibility during perception, but successful comprehension requires access to
both
the morphological forms and the mapping between these forms and their meanings. This study investigated the relationship between perception and comprehension of bound morphemes in order to assess the impact of form-meaning mapping on performance.

Method:

Seventy-eight elementary school-age children who are DHH were tested on their perception and comprehension of four bound morphemes: third-person –
s
, possessive
–s
, past tense
–ed,
and plural –
s/es
. During assessment, these appeared in sentences presented using both auditory-only and auditory–visual modalities. The assessment procedure dissociated (a) perception of form using a sentence repetition task from (b) comprehension of meaning based on responses to a two-choice picture discrimination task.

Results:
Analyses both confirmed the reliability of the measures of perception and comprehension and revealed generally higher performance for perception over comprehension. Critically, correlations between perception and comprehension were mostly not significant. Secondary findings included that higher performance for one bound morpheme did not imply higher performance on others and a significant relationship between measures of vocabulary and performance on the bound morpheme tasks.

Conclusions:
The findings of the study highlight the importance of distinguishing between perception versus comprehension of morphological forms. Successful comprehension requires form-meaning mapping, whereas successful perception requires only acquisition of form. Both theoretical and practical implications of the mapping component of speech processing are discussed, including the value of providing programs of auditory training that are meaning-oriented in nature.
Linguistic Skills and Text Reading Comprehension in Prelingually Deaf Readers: A Systematic Review
Authors: Tomazin Marina Olujić , Radošević Tomislav , Hrastinski Iva 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Despite the considerable scientific interest in researching the reading skills of the deaf population, most of these studies focus on reading comprehension (RC) at the word or sentence level. Such reading activates different underlying language processes than text-level reading, which is more akin to real-life reading literacy. The results of 36 studies on different linguistic skills and their correlation/prediction with text RC of deaf readers are reviewed, taking into account age and two language modalities (spoken language [SpL] and sign language [SL]).

Method:
The studies were systematized and analyzed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 (Page et al., 2021).

Results:
Most reviewed studies (92%) investigated how lexical and phonological skills in SpL relate to RC in deaf people, although there is a lack of studies (33%) investigating the relationship between morphological and syntactic skills in SpL and text-based RC in deaf people. Although results on phonology are quite conflicting, studies of this review consistently confirm that lexical skills are positively related to text RC. Despite only a few published studies on morphological and syntactic skills and RC in deaf readers, the results show strong evidence of their association. This review also provides evidence of a significant cross-modal correlation between SL skills and RC, by showing that in children and adolescents, better phonological skills and receptive vocabulary are associated to better RC, whereas in adults, only studies examining grammatical skills in SL found a significant association with RC in bimodal bilingual deaf readers.

Conclusions:
Lexical knowledge appears to be the primary contributor to text RC in deaf readers, whereas phonological effects remain inconclusive. Although morphological and syntactic competencies' impact warrants further investigation, they demonstrate consistent association with RC. There is also clear evidence of a positive cross-modal relationship between SL skills and RC.
Examination of Occupational Stress, Personality Traits, and Demographics Among U.S. Audiologists
Authors: Bresett Madison , Emanuel Diana C. , Gambino Ashley 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Recent research suggests that personality traits may be associated with occupational stress for audiologists, but this relationship had not been examined prior to this study.

Method:
The Audiologist Occupational Stress Questionnaire (AOSQ; Severn et al., 2012), informal stress ratings, the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES; Judge et al., 2003), and demographic questions were administered via Qualtrics to 307 U.S. audiologists.

Results:
There was a significant inverse relationship between AOSQ and CSES scores indicating that positive personality traits were associated with lower occupational stress scores. Occupational stress was related to certain demographics, including years of experience, level of business involvement, and percent of time spent in direct patient care. Informal ratings indicated participants who reported high stress level for an “average day” reported high stress levels also for their “worst day.” AOSQ scores were significantly correlated with informal ratings, suggesting informal questions could provide a quick indicator of stress level to monitor audiologists' stress. Stress themes that emerged from qualitative analyses were Workload, Lack of Support, Patients, Administration, Financials, and Changes to Audiology.

Conclusions:
Personality traits were related to occupational stress, suggesting an assessment of personality traits, plus certain work-related demographics, may provide an early indicator of audiologists at risk for high levels of occupational stress. Stress themes and current strategies used by audiologists that were identified in this study provide an indication of areas in which individuals, the profession, and employers could focus efforts toward improving audiologists' well-being.
