Interstitielle Lungenerkrankung bei systemischen autoimmunen rheumatischen Erkrankungen: Update zu Diagnostik und Monitoring
Authors: Maurer Britta 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungPatienten mit systemischen autoimmunen rheumatischen Erkrankungen (SARD) haben ein erhöhtes Risiko für die Entwicklung einer interstitiellen Lungenerkrankung (ILD), die häufig prognosebestimmend ist. Richtlinien zu Screening und Monitoring, die aufgrund des hohen Mortalitätsrisikos und der wachsenden medikamentösen Therapieoptionen besonders relevant sind, waren lange nicht verfügbar. Kürzlich wurden amerikanische Leitlinien von Rheumatologen und Pneumologen gemeinsam publiziert. Die europäischen Empfehlungen stehen kurz vor der Veröffentlichung. Zum Screening bei asymptomatischen Hochrisikopatienten oder symptomatischen Patienten wird die Kombination von HRCT und Lungenfunktionstest empfohlen, optional die Sauerstoffmessung vor und nach Belastung. Dasselbe gilt für das Monitoring bei diagnostizierter SARD-ILD, wobei es keine klaren Empfehlungen für eine serielle Bildgebung mittels HRCT gibt. Eine gute Datenlage für die Frequenz von Rescreening und Monitoring fehlt, sodass eine individuelle Abwägung basierend auf Risikofaktoren empfohlen wird. Dieser Artikel ordnet die aktuell verfügbaren Empfehlungen in einen größeren Kontext ein und berücksichtigt dabei auch die neue Datenlage. Das Management dieser Patienten sollte in einem interdisziplinären und interprofessionellen Team erfolgen, um der Komplexität dieser z. T. sehr seltenen Krankheitsbilder Rechnung zu tragen.
On finite presentability of subsemigroups of the monogenic free inverse semigroup

Abstract
The monogenic free inverse semigroup

$FI_1$

is not finitely presented as a semigroup due to the classic result by Schein (1975). We extend this result and prove that a finitely generated subsemigroup of

$FI_1$

is finitely presented if and only if it contains only finitely many idempotents. As a consequence, we derive that an inverse subsemigroup of

$FI_1$

is finitely presented as a semigroup if and only if it is a finite semilattice.
Optimization of sampling structure on unmanned aerial vehicle for gas leakage monitoring in the atmosphere

Abstract
In order to make a fast and accurate response to gas leakage event, e.g. gas leakage in hydrogen storage station, it is very important to identify and locate the leakage source accurately and quickly. Due to the flexibility and the adaptability of robots to harsh environments, leakage source tracing based on mobile robots has attracted more and more attention. However, the existing ground robots are limited by the ground environment and thus it is difficult to trace and locate the leakage in the complex environment with ground robots. Although unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can overcome the limitation of ground obstacles, there are still some problems in the accuracy and reliability of gas sampling due to the interference of flow field caused by UAV rotors to the surrounding gases. Based on computational fluid dynamic simulation, a simulation model of UAV with four rotors was established. Combined with test experiments, the influence of flow field around UAV on gas sampling under different UAV speeds, rotors assembly structures, leakage, and sampling conditions was analyzed and investigated. The optimized UAV assembly structure and gas sensor installation position were determined and verified by the simulations and experiments. The results showed that the sensor was less affected by the rotor airflow when the UAV rotor was reversely assembled and the gases were sampled above the UAV. This research can provide a guidance for gas sampling for emission source tracing with UAV for process safety management of energy gas storage.

Abstract
This article addresses the localization problem in robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection at airports and provides a systematic evaluation of different methods to solve it. The robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection is a complex system that involves object detection, localization, motion planning and control, manipulation, etc. Among these components, effective localization is essential for the robot to employ subsequent motion planning and end-effector manipulation because it can provide a correct goal position. This article explores four popular and representative localization methods for object localization in luggage trolley collection: radio frequency identification (RFID), Keypoints, ultrawideband (UWB), and Reflectors. A qualitative evaluation framework is constructed to assess performance, encompassing Localization Accuracy, Mobile Power Supplies, Coverage Area, Cost, and Scalability. Furthermore, a series of quantitative experiments concerning Localization Accuracy and Success Rate have been conducted on a real-world robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection system. The performance of various localization methods is further analyzed based on experimental results, indicating that the Keypoints method is optimally suited for indoor environments to facilitate luggage trolley collection. Significantly, these experiment results provide a valuable reference point, extending the application of indoor localization methods across diverse scenarios.

Policy Feedback, Energy Equity, and Climate Justice: Can Existing Policies Improve Solar Access for Low- and Moderate-Income Communities in the United States?
Authors: Datta Aparajita 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTDespite the proliferation of rooftop solar in the United States, its deployment and associated benefits have not been distributed equitably. Many states have adopted targeted incentives to improve access to rooftop solar and increase its uptake among low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities. This article examines the policy feedback effects of energy efficiency policies and electricity-sector portfolio standards on the adoption and diffusion of LMI solar incentives across states. Event History Analyses indicate that between 2010 and 2019, the adoption and diffusion of the incentives have been conditional on a state’s portfolio standards but independent of energy efficiency policies. Feedback effects from the portfolio standards in neighboring states are found to have a regressive impact on the likelihood of adoption. Hence, the feedback effects of previously adopted renewable energy policies are helping states to better serve vulnerable communities. However, there is no evidence of geographic clustering in the diffusion of incentives.
Paying attention to verb-noun collocations among returnees and heritage speakers: How vulnerable are L2 English collocations to attrition?
Authors: Alraddadi Hadil , Aveledo Fraibet , Hangelbroek Roland , Treffers-Daller Jeanine 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
It is well established that verb-noun collocations are difficult for L2 learners, but little is known about the extent to which such collocations are vulnerable to attrition under conditions of reduced input. The study is novel in that we focus on L2 attrition rather than L1 attrition, and because we focus on Saudi Arabian returnees, who have so far hardly been studied. These are compared to child, adolescent and adult heritage speakers in the US. Receptive knowledge of English collocations was measured with a novel online acceptability judgement task and an online gap-filling task. We found that child returnees experienced more difficulties than the adolescent returnees, because the child returnees had not acquired collocations to the same extent as the adolescent returnees, and they experienced more crosslinguistic influence from Arabic. The current study also provides some counter evidence against the claim that every bilingual is an attriter.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objective:
To examine underlying political economy factors that enable or impede the integration of nutrition considerations into food system governance.

Design:
Comparative political economy analysis of data collected through (1) value chain analyses of selected healthy and unhealthy commodities and (2) food system policy analyses, using a theoretical framework focused on power, politics, interests and ideas.

Setting:
Ghana and South Africa.

Participants:
Value chain actors relevant to healthy and unhealthy foods (Ghana n 121; South Africa n 72) and policy stakeholders from government (Health, Agriculture, Trade and Industry, Finance), academia, civil society, development partners, Civil Society Organization (CSO) and private sector (Ghana n 28; South Africa n 48).

Results:
Nutrition was a stated policy priority in both countries; however, policy responsibility was located within the health sector, with limited integration of nutrition into food system sectors (including Agriculture, Trade and Industry). Contributing factors included a conceptions of policy responsibilities for nutrition and food systems, dominant ideas and narratives regarding the economic role of the food industry and the purpose of food system policy, the influence of large food industry actors, and limited institutional structures for cross-sectoral engagement and coordination.

Conclusions:
Integrating nutrition into multi-sectoral food policy to achieve multiple food system policy goals will require strategic action across jurisdictions and regional levels. Opportunities included increasing investment in healthy traditional foods, strengthening urban/rural linkages and informal food systems, and strengthening institutional structures for policy coherence and coordination related to nutrition.

Abstract

Background and Objective
Early and collaborative interventions are desirable to prevent long-term sick leave and promote sustainable return-to-work (RTW). The aim of this study was to evaluate if the use of the Capacity Note – a brief intervention promoting early and structured communication between general practitioners (GPs), patients, and employers – had an impact on length of sick leave in patients with common mental disorders (CMDs) in primary healthcare.

Method
In a pragmatic trial, GPs at eight primary healthcare centres were randomized to provide the intervention or control and recruited eligible patients: employed women and men, 18-64 years, who visited a GP due to CMD and became or were (<4 months) full- or part-time sick-listed. Patients in the intervention group (n=28) used the Capacity Note in addition to usual care. Patients in the control group (n=28) received usual care. Outcomes of interest were time until full RTW, sick leave status at end of follow-up (17 months), number of sick leave episodes during follow-up, and number of sick leave days at 6, 12, and 17 months of follow-up.

Results
The proportion of patients with full RTW at the end of follow-up was 79.2% in the intervention group and 84.6% in the control group. Time until full RTW was 102 and 90 days (median) in intervention and control group, respectively. We found no statistically significant differences between the groups for any of the outcomes.

Discussion
Despite efforts to increase the number of participants, the study ended up with a small sample. This prohibited us from drawing any final conclusions about the effect of the intervention. Obstacles to recruitment of patients and use of the intervention are discussed.

Abstract

Aims
It is widely recognized that the COVID-19 pandemic exerted an impact on the mental health of the general population, but epidemiological evidence is surprisingly sparse. We aimed to explore the association between serologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and psychological distress – assessed by symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress – in the general adult population in southern Switzerland, a region widely affected by the pandemic. We also investigated whether this association varied over time and between pandemic waves from late 2020 through 2021.

Methods
We used data from 305 adults who participated in the Corona Immunitas Ticino prospective seroprevalence study in southern Switzerland, including results of the serological tests of SARS-CoV-2 infection collected in June 2021, and explored associations with depression, anxiety and stress scores as measured by the 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale at three time points between December 2020 and August 2021, accounting for socio-demographic and health characteristics.

Results
In our sample, 84.3% of the participants (mean age of 51.30 years, SD = ±.93) were seronegative at baseline. Seropositive (i.e., infected) participants had a decreasing probability of being depressed and anxious through the COVID-19 pandemic waves compared to the seronegative (non-infected) participants. Further, seropositivity at baseline was also associated with more rapid decline in depressive, anxiety and stress symptomatology, and younger age and the presence of chronic diseases were independently associated with mild anxiety (OR = .97; P = 0.013; 95% CI = 0.95, 0.99; OR = 3.47; P = 0.001; 95% CI = 1.71, 7.04) and stress (OR = .96; P = 0.003; 95% CI = .94, .99; OR = 2.56; P = 0.010; 95% CI = 1.25, 5.22).

Conclusions
Our results suggest that the MH consequences of the pandemic may not be due to the SARS-CoV-2 infection per se, but to fears associated with the risk of infection, and to the pandemic uncertainties.
Revisiting Tide‐Induced Near‐Field Mixing in the Abyssal Ocean

Published: November 2024

AbstractVertical two‐dimensional numerical experiments incorporating Garrett‐Munk (GM) internal waves are conducted to investigate tide‐induced near‐field mixing over a finite‐amplitude sinusoidal seafloor, conventionally attributed to the breaking of high‐wavenumber internal tidal waves. Turbulent mixing is characterized by tidal excursion parameter (Te) and topographic steepness parameter (Sp) measuring tidal current strength and seafloor slope gradient, respectively. Under strong tidal currents (Te > 1), high‐wavenumber internal lee waves propagate upward from the seafloor. Even when Te and Sp are set to produce nearly the same upward energy flux, the vertical profile of mixing hotspots varies with Sp. For Sp 0.2, near‐inertial currents above the seafloor rapidly amplify by absorbing energy of internal lee waves from below, hindering their upward propagation and creating “short mixing hotspots.” For Sp < 0.2, these near‐inertial currents diminish, allowing internal lee waves to propagate upward and interact with the GM background internal waves, creating “tall mixing hotspots.”
On the Size of Dominant Momentum Transporting Eddies in Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers
Authors: Shao Xin , Zhang Ning , Li Dan , Sun Jianning 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe size of dominant momentum transporting eddies in stable atmospheric boundary layers is poorly understood. This study demonstrates that the distance to the ground z is relevant in constraining in weakly stable conditions (, where is the stability parameter) and less relevant in moderately stable conditions (). The widely used Ozmidov scale, however, fails to represent in moderately stable conditions. The low‐wavenumber ends of the −5/3 scaling law regions in the spanwise and vertical velocity spectra correlate better with a shear‐related length scale. Based on the characteristics of velocity spectra and the balance between kinetic energy and potential energy, a new length scale is proposed to indicate for moderately stable conditions. Observational data show that this new length scale effectively characterizes in moderately stable conditions. These findings can help develop better turbulence parameterization schemes for stable atmospheric boundary layers.
The Impacts of Far‐Field Typhoon‐Generated Coastal Trapped Waves on the Hydrodynamics in the Northern South China Sea: A Case Study of Typhoon In‐Fa

Published: November 2024

AbstractCoastal Trapped Waves (CTWs) have the potential to transmit significant energy from atmospheric wind systems, causing dramatic coastal changes over vast areas, even far from the wind systems. This study investigated the impacts of CTWs generated by Typhoon In‐fa (2021) on the northern South China Sea (NSCS) hydrodynamics using tide gauge observations, reanalysis data, and numerical model outputs. The analysis results indicate that the CTWs induced by Typhoon In‐fa exhibit distinct characteristics in different phases of wave crest and trough. During the crest phase, coastal currents generated by CTWs flow opposite to the background circulation, while during the trough phase, they flow in the same direction. This process is accompanied by changes in cross‐shore currents, such that during the crest phase of CTWs, the cross‐shore currents are landward at the surface and seaward at the bottom, while during the trough phase of CTWs, the cross‐shore currents become reversed. These changes further lead to downwelling in temperature, salinity, and density during the crest phase of CTWs, and upwelling during the trough phase of CTWs. Results from a linear CTW model demonstrated that the above characteristics agreed with the traditional CTW theory. Sensitivity experiments with the Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) explored key factors influencing NSCS hydrodynamics, including local winds and CTWs from Typhoon In‐fa. The local winds and CTWs have different effects: they compete during the crest phase and co‐work during the trough phase, with local winds dominating the sea surface and CTWs dominating the seabed.
Baroclinic Instability Induced Mesoscale and Submesoscale Processes in River Plumes: A Laboratory Investigation on a Rotating Tank

Published: November 2024

AbstractUnder the influence of buoyancy and the earth rotation, river outflows leaving an estuary typically have a two‐part structure, including a recirculating bulge near the river mouth and a coastal current propagating downstream. A continuous river outflow causes the bulge to expand in size and to accumulate freshwater, with the bulge eventually becoming unstable due to baroclinic instability. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments on a rotating tank to simulate an idealized river plume under various Coriolis frequencies, density differences, and shelf slopes. The horizontal velocity structures of the river plume were qutantified using particle imaginary velocimetry (PIV). We designed a velocity‐based vortex identification and tracking algorithm to capture anticyclonic eddies (ACEs) at the bulge center, cyclonic eddies (CEs) on the plume front, and coastal cyclonic return flow (CCRF) at the corner between estuary and coastal wall. Our results suggest a linear relationship between bulge instability parameter and bulge wavenumber, which can be used to predict the bulge instability patterns that are classified according to vortex stretching, splitting, and squeezing. Finally, we estimated the eddy kinetic energy contained within ACEs, CEs, and CCRF to explore the cross‐scale energy transfer and dissipation. Our results show that the bugle is more unstable in gentle slope cases, and its instability decreases with the inflow Rossby number and increases with the Froude number. The generation of CEs on the plume front may extract the energy from the larger scale anticyclonic core, which plays an important role in mass transport and frontal mixing of river plumes.

AbstractOffline land surface models (LSMs) require atmospheric forcing data sets for simulating water, energy, and biogeochemical fluxes. However, available forcing data sets remain highly uncertain and can introduce additional differences in LSM simulations. This study explored the impact of various forcing data sets, ranging from widely used to newly developed, on hydrological simulations using the Common Land Model 2024 (CoLM2024). We conducted 12 global experiments using different forcing data sets to force CoLM2024. We evaluated the model's performance against plot‐scale observations and globally gridded reference data. We examined the uncertainties in forcings and their impact on output variables such as latent heat, sensible heat, net radiation, and total runoff. Globally, precipitation has the highest degree of uncertainty at 4.4%. The forcing uncertainties propagate to the model simulations and cause significant differences in simulated variables. Runoff uncertainty is about 15.7% globally, with a greater impact in low latitudes. Our evaluation shows that the newly developed data sets, such as CRUJRA and ERA5LAND, generally outperform the others. However, the optimal forcing data set varies depending on the variable of interest and the targeted region. Partial Least Squares Regression analysis reveals that different simulated variables are associated with dominant forcing variables, highlighting the importance of selecting forcing data sets for specific applications and regions. This study confirms the importance of improving the quality and consistency of meteorological data. This would help reduce simulation biases and guide the improvement of the model structure and parameterization of CoLM2024.
