Published: November 2024

AbstractConcerns regarding the potential negative impacts of digital technology use on youth mental health and well-being are high. However, most studies have several methodological limitations: relying on cross-sectional designs and retrospective reports, assessing technology use as an omnibus construct, and focusing on between- instead of within-person comparisons. This study addresses these limitations by prospectively following young adolescents (n = 388) over a 14-day ecological momentary assessment study to test whether adolescents’ digital technology use is linked with self-reported emotional dysregulation and self-esteem and whether these relationships are stronger for adolescent girls than boys. We found no evidence that adolescents experienced higher emotional dysregulation (b = − .02; p = .07) and lower self-esteem (b = .004; p = .32) than they normally do on days where they use more technology than they normally do (within-person). Adolescents with higher average daily technology use over the study period did not experience lower levels of self-esteem (between-person, b = − .02; p = .13). Adolescents with higher average daily technology use across the two-week period did report higher levels of emotional dysregulation (p = .01), albeit the between-person relation was small (b = .08). There was no evidence that gender moderated the associations, both between and within adolescents (bs = − .02–.13, p = .06 − .55). Our findings contribute to the growing counter-narrative that technology use does not have as large of an impact on adolescents’ mental health and well-being as the public is concerned about.
Diagnose und Therapie der Echinokokkose
Authors: Deibel Ansgar , Müllhaupt Beat 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungDie alveoläre (AE) und zystische Echinokokkose (CE) sind seltene Zoonosen, bei denen der Mensch durch die Larven des Fuchs- oder Hundebandwurms infiziert wird. Echinococcus multilocularis, der Erreger der AE, kommt hauptsächlich in der nördlichen Hemisphäre vor, einschliesslich Mittel- und Westeuropa. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Echinococcus granulosus, der Erreger der CE, weltweit verbreitet, kommt in Europa vor allem im Mittelmeerraum, in Südosteuropa und Osteuropa vor. In Deutschland, Frankreich, der Schweiz und Österreich wird die CE nahezu ausschliesslich bei Immigranten diagnostiziert. Obwohl die AE selten ist, zeigt sich in Europa seit der Jahrtausendwende ein Anstieg der Inzidenz. Die Diagnose beider Erkrankungen erfolgt durch Bildgebung, Serologie und gelegentlich histopathologische oder molekularbiologische Tests. Die Therapieansätze und Prognosen unterscheiden sich deutlich. Die Therapie der AE hängt von der Ausdehnung der Erkrankung ab. Internationale Leitlinien empfehlen bei operabler AE eine chirurgische Resektion mit anschliessender Rezidivprophylaxe durch Benzimidazole für zwei Jahre. Bei Inoperabilität ist eine lebenslange Therapie mit Benzimidazolen notwendig, wobei ca. ein Drittel der Patienten später einen Therapieabsetzversuch unternehmen kann. Seit der Einführung der Benzimidazoltherapie hat sich die Prognose der AE erheblich verbessert, und die Lebenserwartung der betroffenen Patienten ist nahezu mit der der Normalbevölkerung vergleichbar. Die CE kann je nach Stadium chirurgisch reseziert, interventionell behandelt oder medikamentös therapiert werden. In einigen Fällen wird auch eine Beobachtung (Watch-and-wait-Strategie) empfohlen. Die Prognose der CE ist in der Regel gut.

Published: November 2024

AbstractChina’s economic growth is increasingly being driven by the contemporary service industry in the context of a new economy. This study aims to examine the spatial heterogeneous relationship between various service industry activities and street network design configurations by integrating multisource big data and geospatial analysis to provide insightful implications for human-centered design for compact cities by taking the case study of an inland megacity in central China, Wuhan. Street configurations under the walking/driving modes including closeness, betweenness, severance and efficiency, are characterized from the perspective of spatial design network analysis and angular distance to effectively reflect network shapes and subjective perceptions when navigating through the streets. The point-like, point-axis and ring patterns of various service activities are identified using the kernel density estimation (KDE). Then two sets of densities are analyzed to investigate whether various service activities are spatially associated with specific street metrics and whether spatial stratified heterogeneity exists. The results show that severance and efficiency are two promising indicators to represent the human-scale street design besides the conventional street centrality indices. The spatial mismatch is mainly observed between street metrics and the tourism sector whereas spatial clusters are detected in other types of service activities. Diverse service activities have distinct location preferences for street designs under different transport modes. The walking mode values global closeness and betweenness, while the driving mode values severance and efficiency.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe rising deployment numbers of electric propulsion systems and the increased price of noble gas propellants have created the demand for alternative propellants. Iodine is a very promising candidate, which has already been successfully demonstrated with a variety of thruster types. The main challenge remains to design an iodine compatible neutralizer for those thruster types requiring neutralization. This review first gives an overview of the most common neutralizer principles and categorizes them according to their efficiency and current generation. Special consideration is given to plasma bridge hot cathodes, as they allow the broadest scaling of the supplied current levels. Different emitter types and materials are then discussed based on their resistance to iodine corrosion. In the final section, the experimental results of neutralizers tested with iodine are compared and the encountered difficulties are reviewed. A summary presents the best candidates, based on the maximum neutralization current and the technological readiness level. The recommended neutralizer technologies for ultra-low currents are filament cathodes, for low currents radio-frequency-cathodes and for high currents plasma bridge hot cathodes. Filament cathodes have already been flight proven in an iodine propulsion system and radio-frequency-cathodes have been tested successfully in a laboratory environment. While possible in theory, a successful long-term test of an iodine-fueled plasma bridge hot cathode has not been achieved so far.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Muscle wasting constitutes a frequent complication in critical illness and may be most prevalent in chronic critical illness as inpatients with prolonged ICU length of stay.

Objective
To evaluate the incidence and percentage of muscle wasting estimated by ultrasonography during ICU stay in patients with sepsis and receiving medications as corticosteroids, muscle relaxant, and certain antibiotics during ICU stay and hospital stay.

Patients and methods
We enrolled 90 patients diagnosed with sepsis who were admitted to ICU at Kasr Alainy Hospital were subdivided in to 3 groups: Group 1 consists of 30 patients receiving steroids. Group 2 consists of 30 patients receiving antibiotic causing muscle wasting in the form of aminoglycosides. Group 3 consists of 30 patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agents (muscle relaxants) for any indication in ICU.

Results
Our study included 90 patients, with mean age 50.44 ± 6.79 years, with male % 60%, APACHE II score 7.16 ± 3.59, SOFA score 7.16 ± 3.59, results showed there was a significant decline in QMT on both right and left sides as well as RFCSA on both right and left sides when compared with baseline starting from the 3rd day of ICU admission till the end of the study period (15th day of ICU admission) (P < 0.001). Patients who received muscle relaxant had significantly higher QMT% and RFCSA% wasting when compared to patients who received aminoglycosides (P < 0.001) and when compared to patients who received steroids (P < 0.001). Patients who received aminoglycosides had significantly higher QMT% and RFCSA% wasting compared to patients who received steroids (P < 0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between Horowitz index with right side QMT% wasting (r =  − 0.557; P < 0.001), left side QMT% wasting (r =  − 0.444; P < 0.001), right side RFCSA% wasting (r =  − 0.638; P < 0.001), and left side RFCSA% wasting (r =  − 0.621; P < 0.001). Right side QMT% wasting positively correlated with WBCs (r = 0.254; P = 0.016). There was a significant positive correlation between SOFA score with right side QMT% wasting (r = 0.308; P = 0.003) and left side QMT% wasting (r = 0.285; P = 0.006). There was a significant positive correlation between SOFA score with right side RFCSA% wasting (r = 0.210; P = 0.003) and left side RFCSA% wasting (r = 0.303; P = 0.004).

Conclusion
Ultrasound showed significant reduction in QMT and RFCSA from the baseline in patients with sepsis starting from the 3rd day of admission. Patients who received muscle relaxant had the highest incidence of muscle wasting (QMT% wasting and RFCSA% wasting). Patients who received steroids reported the least percentage of muscle wasting.
A note of caution on CJEU databases
Authors: Ovádek Michal 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this short research note is to draw attention to two major pitfalls of working with databases of decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The first one is technical in nature and relates to the discrepant coverage of the Curia and Eur-Lex databases. The second one is linguistic in nature and relates to the fact that most scholars using these databases work in English. New work on this front is capable of addressing the first issue but a change to research practices would be required to address the second.
Modelling wind-induced changes to overturning wave shape
Authors: Feddersen Falk , Hanson Kentaro , Mostert Wouter , Fincham Adam 
Published: November 2024

Depth-limited overturning wave shape affects water turbulence and sediment suspension. Experiments have shown that wind affects shoaling and overturning wave shape, with uncertain mechanism. Here, we study wind effects (given by the wind Reynolds number) on solitary wave shoaling and overturning with the two-phase direct numerical simulations model Basilisk run in two dimensions on steep bathymetry for fixed wave Reynolds number and Bond number. For all wind, the propagating solitary wave sheds a two-dimensional turbulent air wake and has nearly uniform speed with minimal wave energy changes over the rapidly varying bathymetry. Wave-face slope is influenced by wind, and shoaling wave shape changes are consistent with previous studies. As overturning jet impacts, wind-dependent differences in overturn shape are quantified. The non-dimensional breakpoint location and overturn area have similar wind dependence as previous experience, whereas the overturn aspect ratio has opposite wind dependence. During shoaling, the surface viscous stresses are negligible relative to pressure. Surface tension effects are also small but grow rapidly near overturning. In a wave frame of reference, surface pressure is low in the lee and contributes 2–5 % to the velocity potential rate of change in the surface dynamic boundary condition, which, integrated over time, changes the wave shape. Reasons why the overturn aspect ratio is different than in experiment and why a stronger simulated wind is required are explored. The dramatic wind effects on overturning jet area, and thus to the available overturn potential energy, make concrete the implications of wind-induced changes to wave shape.
Biological Mistake Theory and the Question of Function
Authors: Oderberg David S. , Hill Jonathan , Austin Christopher , Bojak Ingo , Cinotti François , Gibbins Jonathan M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The making of mistakes by organisms and other living systems is a theoretically and empirically unifying feature of biological investigation. Mistake theory is a rigorous and experimentally productive way of understanding this widespread phenomenon. It does, however, run up against the long-standing ‘functions’ debate in philosophy of biology. Against the objection that mistakes are just a kind of malfunction, and that without a position on functions there can be no theory of mistakes, we reply that this is to misunderstand the theory. In this paper we set out the basic concepts of mistake theory and then argue that mistakes are a distinctive phenomenon in their own right, not just a kind of malfunction.
Genetic analysis and hybrid performance of recommended cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) clones for bean yield in Ghana
Authors: Ofori Atta , Padi Francis K. , Owusu-Ansah Frank 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Attempts to develop high yielding varieties in Ghana have mostly relied on the introduction of new clones to broaden the range of planting materials for yield improvement. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic variation and heritability for bean yield of six recommended cocoa clones using these as males in crosses with five seed garden parents. Twenty-four families obtained from a 5 × 6 North Carolina II (NC II) incomplete factorial mating design together with 19 high yielding single crosses, of which four were standard mixed hybrids, were planted in a randomized complete block design with four replications and evaluated for bean yield over 6 years. To account for the serial correlation among yield data collected from the same plants over years, six models with different covariance structures were tested. The general covariance model emerged appropriate based on Akaike information criterion values with significant (P < 0.01) family × year interaction. Average bean yield was highest in the NC II families followed by the specific crosses then the standard mixed hybrids. Combining ability analysis among the NC II was significant for female, male and female × male interaction along with a narrow-sense heritability of 0.26. Clone CRG 6035 among the males which had good general combining ability could be added to the seed garden parents, while the promising hybrids (NA 33 × SCA 9, SCA 6 × Pound 10, T60/887 × PA 121 and T79/501 × CRG 6035/103) undergo stability tests before release.
Pelagic Sargassum and some associated mobile fauna: new records for the archipelago of Madeira (subtropical eastern Atlantic)
Authors: Ferreira S. J. , Kaufmann M. , Wirtz P. , Berimbau L. , Araújo R. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Starting in the summer 2023 and peaking in late 2023, large amounts of Sargassum were observed floating off the coast of Madeira Islands, Portugal. The analysis of the samples revealed the presence of the three most common morphotypes of the two known species of pelagic Sargassum: S. natans I, S. natans VIII, and S. fluitans III. This is the first record for the subtropical eastern Atlantic Ocean for S. natans VIII and S. fluitans III. Both species were found entangled, and even though the main purpose of the study was to document the occurrence of pelagic Sargassum in the Madeira archipelago, some associated fauna were also recorded: the crab Planes minutus (Linnaeus, 1758), the amphi-Atlantic shrimps Latreutes fucorum (Fabricius, 1798) and Hippolyte coerulescens (Fabricius, 1775), and the nudibranch Scyllaea pelagica Linnaeus, 1758. The last two are new records for the Madeira archipelago.
Sources of children’s difficulties with non-canonical sentence structures: Insights from Mandarin
Authors: Hao Jiuzhou , Chondrogianni Vasiliki , Sturt Patrick 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The present study investigated whether children’s difficulty with non-canonical structures is due to their non-adult-like use of linguistic cues or their inability to revise misinterpretations using late-arriving cues. We adopted a priming production task and a self-paced listening task with picture verification, and included three Mandarin non-canonical structures with differing word orders and the presence or absence of morphosyntactic cues. Forty five-to-ten-year-old Mandarin-speaking children were tested and compared to adults. Results showed that children were indistinguishable from adults in how they used different cues in real-time, although their performance in offline comprehension and production was more prone to errors but improved given the increase of age. These results suggest that the current child sample has adult-like cue-use patterns and use late-arriving cues to revise misinterpretations. The observed worse offline accuracy and production difficulties relative to adults result from their less developed domain-general abilities in performing tasks.
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, epidemiology and burden on hospitals
Authors: Bloomfield Lauren Edna , Coombs Geoffrey , Armstrong Paul 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study presents surveillance data from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2023 for community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) notified in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (WA) and describes the region’s changing CA-MRSA epidemiology over this period. A subset of CA-MRSA notifications from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2015 were linked to inpatient and emergency department records. Episodes of care (EOC) during which a positive CA-MRSA specimen was collected within the first 48 hours of admission and emergency presentations (EP) during which a positive CA-MRSA specimen was collected on the same day as presentation were selected and analysed further. Notification rates of CA-MRSA in the Kimberley region of WA increased from 250 cases per 100,000 populations in 2003/2004 to 3,625 cases per 100,000 in 2022/2023, peaking at 6,255 cases per 100,000 in 2016/2017. Since 2010, there has been an increase in notifications of Panton-Valentine leucocidin positive (PVL+) CA-MRSA, predominantly due to the ‘Queensland Clone’. PVL+ CA-MRSA infections disproportionately affect younger, Aboriginal people and are associated with an increasing burden on hospital services, particularly emergency departments. It is unclear from this study if PVL+ MRSA are associated with more severe skin and soft-tissue infections, and further investigation is needed.
Adult dietary patterns and their association with iodine nutrition levels and thyroid function: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Abuduwaili Gulinaizeer , Huang Jia , Ma Yan , Sun Hongguang 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objective:
To understand the dietary patterns of adults and explore their association with iodine nutritional levels and thyroid function in adults.

Design:
We randomly collected 5 ml of adult urine samples and measured urinary iodine concentration (UIC) by cerium arsenate-catalysed spectrophotometry. A serum sample of 5 ml was collected for the determination of free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine and thyrotropin, and diet-related information was collected through a FFQ. Dietary patterns were extracted by principal component analysis, and the relationship between dietary patterns and iodine nutrition levels and thyroid function was explored.

Settings:
A cross-sectional study involving adults in Xinjiang, China, was conducted.

Participants:
A total of 435 adults were enrolled in the study.

Results:
The overall median urinary iodine of the 435 respondents was 219·73 μg/l. The dietary patterns were PCA1 (staple food pattern), PCA2 (fruit, vegetable and meat pattern), PCA3 (fish, shrimp and legume pattern) and PCA4 (dairy-based protein pattern). The correlation analyses showed that PCA1 and PCA3 were positively correlated with the UIC. The results of the multivariable analysis showed that PCA1, Q1, Q2 and Q3 were associated with an increased risk of iodine deficiency compared with Q4 ((OR): 260·41 (95 % CI: 20·16, 663·70)), 59·89 (5·64, 335·81), and 2·01 (0·15, 26·16), respectively). In PCA2, Q3 was associated with an increased risk of iodine deficiency compared with Q4 (OR: 0·16 (0·05, 0·53)). In PCA3, Q3 was associated with an increased risk of iodine deficiency compared with Q4 (OR: 0·23 (0·06, 0·90)). In PCA4, Q1 was associated with an increased risk of iodine deficiency compared with Q4 (OR: 31·30 (4·88, 200·64)).

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that of the four dietary patterns, the least dependent staple food pattern (Q1) had a higher risk of iodine deficiency compared with the most dependent staple food pattern (Q4). However, the current evidence on the effect of dietary patterns on thyroid function needs to be validated by further longitudinal studies that include long-term follow-up, larger sample sizes and repeated measures.
Association between air pollution (PM10, PM2.5), greenness and depression in older adults: a longitudinal study in South Korea
Authors: Park H. , Kang C. ,   AiMS-CREATE Team, Kim H. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Aims
Although it has been hypothesized that air pollution, particularly PM2.5 and PM10, causes depressed symptoms, their interactions with greenness have not yet been confirmed. This study examined the association between depression symptoms and air pollution, as well as the potential moderating effects of greenness.

Methods
A total of 7657 people from all around South Korea were examined using information from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, for the years 2016, 2018 and 2020. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the CES-D 10 score (Center for Epidemiology Studies of Depression scale, Boston form), and annual air pollution levels (PM2.5, PM10) and greenness (NDVI, Landsat Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) at the district level (si-gun-gu) were considered for the association analysis. The investigation was primarily concerned with determining how the CES-D 10 score changed for each 10

${\mu \text{g/}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

increase in PM2.5 and PM10 according to NDVI quantiles, respectively. The analysis used generalized estimating equation models that were adjusted with both minimal and complete variables. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age groups (<65, ≥65 years old), sex and exercise status.

Results
The impact of PM10 on depression in the fourth quantile of NDVI was substantially less in the fully adjusted linear mixed model (OR for depression with a 10

${\mu\text{ g/}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

increment of PM10: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.58) than in the first quantile (OR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.58, 2.25). In a similar vein, the effect of PM2.5 on depression was considerably reduced in the fourth quantile of NDVI (OR for depression with a 10

${\mu\text{ g/}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

increment of PM2.5: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.30, 2.44) compared to the first (OR: 3.75, 95% CI: 2.75, 5.10). Subgroup analysis results demonstrated beneficial effects of greenness in the relationship between particulate matter and depression.

Conclusions
This longitudinal panel study found that a higher quantile of NDVI was associated with a significantly reduced influence of air pollution (PM10, PM2.5) on depression among older individuals in South Korea.
