Abstract. The aim of the presented study was to investigate the impact on the radiation
budget of a biomass-burning plume, transported from Alaska to the High Arctic
region of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, in early July 2015. Since the mean
aerosol optical depth increased by the factor of 10 above the average summer
background values, this large aerosol load event is considered particularly
exceptional in the last 25 years. In situ data with hygroscopic growth
equations, as well as remote sensing measurements as inputs to radiative
transfer models, were used, in order to estimate biases associated with
(i) hygroscopicity, (ii) variability of single-scattering albedo profiles,
and (iii) plane-parallel closure of the modelled atmosphere. A chemical
weather model with satellite-derived biomass-burning emissions was applied to
interpret the transport and transformation pathways. The provided MODTRAN radiative transfer model (RTM) simulations for the smoke event
(14:00 9 July–11:30 11 July) resulted in a mean aerosol
direct radiative forcing at the levels of −78.9 and −47.0 W m−2 at
the surface and at the top of the atmosphere, respectively,
for the mean value of aerosol optical depth equal to 0.64 at 550 nm. This
corresponded to the average clear-sky direct radiative forcing of −43.3 W m−2, estimated by radiometer and model simulations at the surface.
Ultimately, uncertainty associated with the plane-parallel atmosphere
approximation altered results by about 2 W m−2. Furthermore,
model-derived aerosol direct radiative forcing efficiency reached on average
−126 W m-2/τ550 and −71 W m-2/τ550 at the
surface and at the top of the atmosphere, respectively. The heating rate, estimated at up
to 1.8 K day−1 inside the biomass-burning plume, implied vertical
mixing with turbulent kinetic energy of 0.3 m2 s−2.

Published: June 2018

Abstract. Assessing the impact of changes on the environment driven by natural or
anthropogenic forcers includes the comparison between antecedent and
post-event conditions. The latter is particularly relevant in order to better
understand to which extent those changes actually impact or alter a
particular environment and associated services and to determine the
resilience of a system. In this regard, it becomes essential to create or
provide databases to inform about baseline conditions. Here, we present a
database that integrates surficial sediment samples collected and analysed
for textural characterization within the framework of a series of research
projects over circa 20 years. Collected samples along the south-western
Atlantic margin of the Iberian Peninsula extend from estuaries and beaches to
the adjacent continental shelf. For the case of the more dynamic
environments, namely coastal sandy barriers, samples were repeated over time
in order to capture the intrinsic variability of the system. Examples of the
utility of this data set for a variety of purposes and environments are also
included within this paper through three examples. Therefore, here we show
the added value of the database as it can be used to assess the impact of a
particular event or activity at an estuary by providing baseline conditions,
evaluate the continental shelf sediment suitability for nourishment
activities, or contribute to the understanding of the morphodynamics and
classification of beaches. Finally, it is worth stating the importance of
such databases to analyse medium- to long-term variability as the one induced
by sea level rise, changes in storminess, or human activities. The
open-access data presented here are at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.883104.

Published: June 2018

Abstract. The ocean surface mixed layer is a nearly universal feature of the world
oceans. Variations in the depth of the mixed layer (MLD) influences the
exchange of heat, fresh water (through evaporation), and gases between the
atmosphere and the ocean and constitutes one of the major factors controlling
ocean primary production as it affects the vertical distribution of
biological and chemical components in near-surface waters. Direct
observations of the MLD are traditionally made by means of conductivity,
temperature, and depth (CTD) casts. However, CTD instrument deployment limits
the observation of temporal and spatial variability in the MLD. Here, we
present an alternative method in which acoustic mapping of the MLD is done
remotely by means of commercially available ship-mounted echo sounders. The
method is shown to be highly accurate when the MLD is well defined and
biological scattering does not dominate the acoustic returns. These
prerequisites are often met in the open ocean and it is shown that the method
is successful in 95 % of data collected in the central Arctic Ocean. The
primary advantages of acoustically mapping the MLD over CTD measurements are
(1) considerably higher temporal and horizontal resolutions and
(2) potentially larger spatial coverage.

Amerikanisering van corruptiebestrijding – Buitengerechtelijke afdoening en andere tendensen in de handhaving van anticorruptiewetgeving
In de jaren 2014-2017 heeft in Nederland een grote omschakeling plaatsgevonden op het terrein van de handhaving in buitenlandse corruptiezaken. Van een niet-handhaver lijkt Nederland veranderd te zijn in een corruptiebestrijder om rekening mee te houden. Wij verklaren deze ontwikkeling allereerst vanuit het perspectief van Amerikaans buitenlands beleid. Vervolgens beschouwen wij de stand van zaken met betrekking tot buitengerechtelijke afdoening in Nederland, in het bijzonder de hoge of bijzondere transactie en de strafbeschikking. We werpen ten slotte een blik op de toekomst, waarbij wij vooral kijken naar de mogelijkheden van rechterlijke toetsing en het compenseren van buitenlandse slachtoffers.

Ne bis in idem revisited. Over de lotgevallen van een beginsel
Gegeven de toenemende mogelijkheden tot samenloop van punitieve procedures rijst de vraag of en in hoeverre een dergelijke samenloop opportuun of doelmatig kan worden geacht. Of anders en huiselijker geformuleerd: is dergelijke cumulatie van sancties niet wat te veel van het goede? In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op de recente ontwikkelingen in de nationale en de Europese jurisprudentie ten aanzien van het ne bis in idem-beginsel. Als startpunt van de beschrijving wordt gekozen voor het Alcoholslotprogramma-arrest waarin het verbod van dubbele bestraffing door de Hoge Raad tot een van de beginselen van een goede procesorde wordt gerekend.

Jurisprudentiële ontwikkelingen over het samenhangcriterium van de ‘b-grond’ in de Wet Bibob
Uit de recente jurisprudentie over de Wet Bibob blijkt dat soms onduidelijkheid bestaat over de vraag wanneer strafbare feiten voldoende samenhang vertonen met activiteiten waarvoor de vergunning is aangevraagd of verleend. Uit jurisprudentie blijkt enerzijds dat sprake is van voldoende samenhang, indien de vergunning het plegen van strafbare feiten kan faciliteren. Anderzijds is het uitgangspunt van de Afdeling dat de horecabranche zeer kwetsbaar is voor (bepaalde) overtredingen, zodat zonder al te veel problemen – in de horecabranche – een samenhang wordt aangenomen tussen de strafbare feiten en de activiteiten waarvoor de vergunning is aangevraagd of is verleend.

Zorgen over de zorgplicht – Bespreking proefschrift ’t Hart over zorgplicht bij financiële dienstverlening
Het proefschrift van ’t Hart omvat een beschrijving en analyse van de zorgplicht voor financiële dienstverleners. Inachtname van die zorgplicht is van groot belang voor de bedrijfsvoering van financiële ondernemingen. Op basis van zijn analyse van de werking van de zorgplicht in de praktijk, doet ’t Hart een aantal voorstellen voor een effectievere en evenwichtiger werking van die zorgplicht. Kritisch is ’t Hart over het toezicht van de AFM op de naleving van de zorgplicht. Dat zou buitenwettelijk zijn en heeft in de praktijk een te grote impact op de invulling van de zorgplicht. In het verlengde daarvan doet hij dan ook voorstellen voor zorgvuldigheid waaraan het toezicht van de AFM in dit verband zou moeten voldoen.

Published: June 2018

Background
The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of equal-volume resistance training (RT) performed with different training frequencies on muscle size and strength in trained young men.

Methods
Sixteen men with at least one year of RT experience were divided into two groups, G1 and G2, that trained each muscle group once and twice a week, respectively, for 10 weeks. Elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) was measured using a B-Mode ultrasound and concentric peak torque of elbow extensors and flexors were assessed by an isokinetic dynamometer.

Results
ANOVA did not reveal group by time interactions for any variable, indicating no difference between groups for the changes in MT or PT of elbow flexors and extensors. Notwithstanding, MT of elbow flexors increased significantly (3.1%, P < 0.05) only in G1. PT of elbow flexors and extensors did not increase significantly for any group.

Discussion
The present study suggest that there were no differences in the results promoted by equal-volume resistance training performed once or twice a week on upper body muscle strength in trained men. Only the group performing one session per week significantly increased the MT of their elbow flexors. However, with either once or twice a week training, adaptations appear largely minimal in previously trained males.

ImportanceInferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) are commonly used to prevent pulmonary embolism in selected clinical scenarios, despite limited evidence to support their use. Current recommendations from professional societies and the US Food and Drug Administration endorse timely IVCF retrieval when clinically feasible. Current IVCF treatment patterns and outcomes remain poorly described.ObjectivesTo evaluate temporal trends and practice patterns in IVCF insertion and retrieval among older US patients and report the incidence of periprocedural and long-term safety events of indwelling and retrieved IVCFs.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsPrespecified, retrospective, observational cohort of Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries, leveraging 100% of samples of inpatient and outpatient claims data from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2021.ExposureFirst-time IVCF insertion while insured by Medicare FFS.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary safety outcome was the composite of all-cause death, filter-related complications (eg, fracture, embolization), operating room visits following filter-related procedures, or new diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Events were considered periprocedural if they occurred within 30 days of IVCF insertion or retrieval and long-term if they occurred more than 30 days after.ResultsAmong 270 866 patients with IVCFs placed during the study period (mean age, 75.1 years; 52.8% female), 64.9% were inserted for first-time venous thromboembolism (VTE), 26.3% for recurrent VTE, and 8.8% for VTE prophylaxis. Of these patients, 63.3% had major bleeds or trauma within 30 days of IVCF insertion. The volume of insertions decreased from 44 680 per year in 2013 to 19 501 per year in 2021. The cumulative incidence of retrieval was 15.3% at a median of 1.2 years and 16.8% at maximum follow-up of 9.0 years. Older age, more comorbidities, and Black race were associated with a decreased likelihood of retrieval, whereas placement at a large teaching hospital was associated with an increased likelihood of retrieval. The incidence of caval thrombosis and DVT among patients with nonretrieved IVCFs was 2.2% (95% CI, 2.1%-2.3%) and 9.2% (95% CI, 9.0%-9.3%), respectively. The majority (93.5%) of retrieval attempts were successful, with low incidence of 30-day complications (mortality, 0.7% [95% CI, 0.6%-0.8%]; filter-related complications, 1.4% [95% CI, 1.2%-1.5%]).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this large, US real-world analysis, IVCF insertion declined, yet retrievals remained low. Strategies to increase timely retrieval are needed, as nonretrieved IVCFs may have long-term complications.

ImportanceImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are recognized as revolutionary cancer therapies but have raised concerns about immune-related adverse events, including the development of autoimmune diseases.ObjectiveTo evaluate the psoriasis risk associated with the use of ICIs in patients with cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis nationwide cohort study with a target trial emulation design used data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database and the Taiwan Cancer Registry. The participants included were patients who received antineoplastic medications for cancer at stages III and IV between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to July 2024.ExposuresPatients treated with ICIs were classified as ICI users, while those who received chemotherapy or targeted therapies were categorized as non-ICI users.Main Outcome and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the incidence of psoriasis during the follow-up period. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to mitigate potential confounders. Cox and Fine-Gray hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for psoriasis risk between groups.ResultsOf 135 230 patients who received antineoplastic medications (mean [SD] age, 62.94 [13.01] years; 45.1% female), 3188 patients were eligible for the ICI user group, while 132 042 patients were eligible for the non-ICI user group. ICI users experienced a higher incidence of psoriasis at 5.76 cases per 1000 person-years, compared to 1.44 cases in the non-ICI group. After adjusting for demographics and comorbidities, ICI users were found to have a 2-fold increase in the risk of developing psoriasis (IPTW-adjusted HR, 3.31; IPTW-adjusted subdistribution HR, 2.43). Both as-started design and on-treatment design showed consistent findings, and the results were consistent and robust across all follow-up intervals and all sensitivity analyses.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, patients with cancer treated with ICIs faced an increased risk of psoriasis. Medical professionals should be aware of the potential adverse effects of immunotherapy to ensure optimal cancer care.

ImportanceFew studies have investigated the association between COVID-19 and autoimmune and autoinflammatory connective tissue disorders; however, research with long-term observation remains insufficient.ObjectiveTo investigate the long-term risk of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases after COVID-19 over an extended observation period.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective nationwide population-based study investigated the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency–COVID-19–National Health Insurance Service (K-COV-N) cohort. Individuals with confirmed COVID-19 from October 8, 2020, to December 31, 2022, and controls identified among individuals who participated in the general health examination in 2018 were included in the analysis.ExposuresConfirmed COVID-19.Main Outcomes and MeasuresIncidence and risk of autoimmune and autoinflammatory connective tissue disorders in patients after COVID-19. Various covariates, such as demographic characteristics, general health data, socioeconomic status, and comorbidity profiles, were balanced using inverse probability weighting.ResultsA total of 6 912 427 participants (53.6% male; mean [SD] age, 53.39 [20.13] years) consisting of 3 145 388 with COVID-19 and 3 767 039 controls with an observational period of more than 180 days were included. Alopecia areata (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 1.11 [95% CI, 1.07-1.15]), alopecia totalis (AHR, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.09-1.42]), vitiligo (AHR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.04-1.19]), Behçet disease (AHR, 1.45 [95% CI, 1.20-1.74]), Crohn disease (AHR, 1.35 [95% CI, 1.14-1.60]), ulcerative colitis (AHR, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.04-1.28]), rheumatoid arthritis (AHR, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.06-1.12]), systemic lupus erythematosus (AHR, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.01-1.28]), Sjögren syndrome (AHR, 1.13 [95% CI, 1.03-1.25]), ankylosing spondylitis (AHR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.02-1.20]), and bullous pemphigoid (AHR, 1.62 [95% CI, 1.07-2.45]) were associated with higher risk in the COVID-19 group. Subgroup analyses revealed that demographic factors, including male and female sex, age younger than 40 years, and age 40 years and older, exhibited diverse associations with the risk of autoimmune and autoinflammatory outcomes. In addition, severe COVID-19 infection requiring intensive care unit admission, the Delta period, and not being vaccinated were associated with higher risk.Conclusions and RelevanceThis retrospective cohort study with an extended follow-up period found associations between COVID-19 and the long-term risk of various autoimmune and autoinflammatory connective tissue disorders. Long-term monitoring and care of patients is crucial after COVID-19, considering demographic factors, disease severity, and vaccination status, to mitigate these risks.

AbstractObjectivesPsychological stress has been suggested as a contributory factor in the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The 7 October 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel caused significant psychological stress, providing a unique context to study its impact on MS activity. This study aims to assess the impact of war‐related psychological stress on MS activity using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and clinical follow‐up.MethodsThis observational retrospective case–control study includes 93 patients with MS (pwMS) who had routine annual MRI scans from three periods (7 October 2021 to 7 January 2022; 7 October 2022 to 7 January 2023; and 7 October 2023 to 7 January 2024). Data were collected from medical records and MRI scans at Hadassah Medical Center. MRI scans were classified as active if new or enlarging T2 lesions and/or enhancing T1 lesions were present.ResultsMRI activity significantly increased among pwMS during the first 3 months of the war compared to the corresponding period in the preceding year (11/93 vs. 23/93, P = 0.0139), with an OR of 4.0 (95% confidence interval: 1.29–16.442). pwMS with an EDSS score ≥4 showed a significant increase in MRI activity (P = 0.045), whereas no significant increase was observed in patients with an EDSS score ≤3.5 (P = 0.23). Additionally, MRI activity increased later during the war compared to the previous year (P < 0.0001).InterpretationThis study provides evidence of increased MRI‐detected disease activity in pwMS during periods of war‐related psychological stress. Our findings highlight the importance of considering psychological stress in MS management. Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential for increased disease activity in pwMS during extreme stress and may consider more frequent monitoring, including MRI scans, or treatment adjustments during such periods.
