Key Points

Health-related quality of life in dialysis depends on many nonclinical factors.Psychosocial determinants contribute to explaining variance in health-related quality-of-life domains better than demographic and medical variables alone.In comparison with past small-scale studies, self-efficacy showed significant associations with all aspects of health-related quality of life.

Background
We investigated whether psychosocial determinants self-efficacy and social support are associated with health-related quality of life in patients on hemodialysis enrolled in the CONVINCE trial.

Methods
We used baseline data from the cohort of patients involved in the CONVINCE randomized trial of hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis. Measures included age, sex, relationship status, children, housing, education, employment, comorbidities, dialysis schedules, time of first dialysis, residual kidney function, general self-efficacy and social support scores, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System measurements for health-related quality of life. Associations were analyzed using hierarchical regression.

Results
One thousand three hundred sixty patients from the CONVINCE trial were the cohort of interest. The mean age was 62±13.5 years (range, 20–92), and 66.9% were male. Self-efficacy was a significant predictor for all health-related quality-of-life domains: depression (β=−0.36, P < 0.001), anxiety (β=−0.35, P < 0.001), social participation (β=0.32, P < 0.001), cognition (β=0.29, P < 0.001), fatigue (β=−0.29, P < 0.001), physical function (β=0.27, P < 0.001), sleep disturbance (β=−0.23, P < 0.001), pain interference (β=0.21, P < 0.001), pain intensity (β=−0.17, P < 0.001), interdialytic symptoms (β=−0.14, P = 0.002), and intradialytic symptoms (β=−0.14, P = 0.002). Social support was a significant predictor for cognition (β=0.21, P < 0.001), sleep disturbance (β=−0.11, P = 0.017), and intradialytic symptoms (β=−0.11, P = 0.02).

Conclusions
Higher general self-efficacy scale scores are associated with improvements in cognition, depression, anxiety, social participation, fatigue, physical function, sleep disturbance, pain interference, interdialytic symptoms, pain intensity, and intradialytic symptoms. Associations for self-efficacy are larger than those for social support and stronger than previously reported. It is plausible that targeted psychosocial interventions may improve health outcomes in people on hemodialysis.

Determinante e doppio determinante nel code-switching arabo-italiano
Authors: Moussaid Yasmina 
Published: October 2024

This article explores the phenomenon of code-switching, specifically focusing on bilingual Arabic-Italian determiner phrases which consist of a determiner, such as an article or a demonstrative, followed by a noun phrase as a complement. The data examined were selected from a corpus of Arabic-Italian spontaneous speech with the aim of (1) comparing and describing the characteristics and differences of the determiner systems of the two languages; (2) illustrating the features of code-switching in determiner phrases and the various types found in the collected data; and (3) studying the mutual influence of the two languages in contact contexts. The data analysis revealed two types of code-switching: switching at the beginning of a determiner phrase, where both the determiner and its complement are in the same language, and switching within a determiner phrase, where the determiner and the head noun are from different languages. This latter category also includes determiner phrases with double determiners, which will be analyzed in detail in this article to discuss the features of this linguistic structure in Arabic-Italian bilingual phrases.

Abstract
We constrain the sky-projected obliquities of two low-density hot Neptune planets, HATS-38 b and WASP-139 b, orbiting nearby G and K stars using Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) observations with VLT/ESPRESSO, yielding

, which is compatible with a circular orbit given our data. Using the obliquity constraints, we show that they join a growing group of hot and low-density Neptunes on polar orbits. We use long-term radial velocities to rule out companions with masses ∼0.3–50 M
J within ∼10 au. We show that the orbital architectures of the two Neptunes can be explained with high-eccentricity migration from ≳2 au driven by an unseen distant companion. If HATS-38 b has no residual eccentricity, its polar and circular orbit can also be consistent with a primordial misalignment. Finally, we perform a hierarchical Bayesian modeling of the true obliquity distribution of Neptunes and find suggestive evidence for a higher preponderance of polar orbits for hot Neptunes compared to Jupiters. However, we note that the exact distribution is sensitive to the choice of priors, highlighting the need for additional obliquity measurements of Neptunes to robustly compare the hot Neptune obliquity distribution to that of Jupiters.

Abstract
We use deep Spitzer mid-infrared spectroscopic maps of radial strips across three nearby galaxies with well-studied metallicity gradients (M101, NGC 628, and NGC 2403) to explore the physical origins of the observed deficit of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at subsolar metallicity (i.e., the PAH–metallicity relation or PZR). These maps allow us to trace the evolution of all PAH features from 5–18 μm as metallicity decreases continuously from solar (Z
⊙) to 0.2 Z
⊙. The total PAH-to-dust luminosity ratio remains relatively constant until reaching a threshold of ∼ 2/3 Z
⊙, below which it declines smoothly but rapidly. The PZR has been attributed to preferential destruction of the smallest grains in the hard radiation environments found at low metallicity. In this scenario, a decrease in emission from the shortest-wavelength PAH features is expected. In contrast, we find a steep decline in long-wavelength power below Z
⊙, especially in the 17 μm feature, with the shorter-wavelength PAH bands carrying an increasingly large fraction of power at low metallicity. We use newly developed grain models to reproduce the observed PZR trends, including these variations in fractional PAH feature strengths. The model that best reproduces the data employs an evolving grain size distribution that shifts to smaller sizes as metallicity declines. We interpret this as a result of inhibited grain growth at low metallicity, suggesting continuous replenishment in the interstellar medium is the dominant process shaping the PAH grain population in galaxies.
Two Million Contributions From Citizen Scientists Accelerate the Digitization of the Berlin Herbarium
Authors: Güntsch Anton , Röpert Dominik , Rabe Katharina , Paule Juraj 
Published: October 2024

In 2016, the Botanic Garden Berlin decided to translate into German, the citizen science platform "Les Herbonautes" (Rouhan et al. 2016, developed at the Natural History Museum in Paris) and to integrate it into the digitization workflows of Herbarium Berolinense. "Die Herbonauten" is a web-based platform on which citizen scientists can contribute to the transcription of digital herbarium specimens and their labels.
Using a quiz module, users first learn about the various information elements on herbarium labels and their correct semantic assignment and recording. The actual data entry then takes place in so-called "missions," in which herbarium specimens are compiled, e.g., to support work on specific scientific questions. In addition to data entry, there is a forum in which users can discuss problems and their solutions, for example if there is disagreement about the correct transcription of a text element. The forum is moderated by scientific staff of the Herbarium Berlin, who provide support particularly when the knowledge of the collection curators is needed to solve problems.
In the course of numerous missions, the knowledge about transcriptions of herbarium specimens was summarized and structured in an evolving and extensive wiki system in German. This wiki has developed into a unique and valuable knowledge base for which an English translation is planned for use by an international audience.
To date, 640 registered Herbonauten have made around two million data contributions. Citizen science has thus become an indispensable component of the herbarium's information management. For the further development of the platform, we are experimenting, among other things, with expanding the scope, e.g., to include the recording of character data, and with combining citizen science approaches with AI-based transcription algorithms. In the context of the EU project, Transforming European Taxonomy through Training, Research and Innovations (TETTRIs), the Herbonauten carry out joint missions with other citizen science platforms, where selected specimens are processed by communities that are particularly qualified, for example because they have the necessary knowledge of languages or local geography.
On the scalability of the operating capacity of hydrogen recombiners
Authors: Avdeenkov Alexandr V. , Kalyakin Sergey G. , Soloviev Sergey L. , Duong Quang Huong 
Published: October 2024

One of the main factors in the capacity of passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs) is its productivity or the hydrogen removal rate. In this work it was demonstrated that regardless of the type of a recombiner, the hydrogen removal rate is mostly determined by the catalytic surface area and the molar density of hydrogen at the inlet. It means that the performance of a recombiner should obey geometric and physical scalability.
Geometric scalability is characterized by the retention of the specific (per unit area of the catalytic surface) hydrogen removal rate with increasing the size of the recombiner by increasing the inlet section while maintaining the height and design of the catalytic unit.
Physical scalability is characterized by maintaining the hydrogen removal rate of the recombiner at a constant input molar density of hydrogen in an air-hydrogen environment while simultaneously changing the input temperature and pressure.
For a numerical demonstration of scalability, several calculations were performed with different initial hydrogen concentrations, external conditions and amounts of catalytic elements. It was shown that, regardless of the number of catalytic plates in the recombiner, the specific removal rate of hydrogen will remain unchanged and that under different external conditions (temperature, pressure), in case they correspond to the same inlet hydrogen density, the hydrogen removal rate does not change.
A Catholic safe haven: University students from Eastern Europe in Spain during Francoism
Authors: Lemmen Sarah 
Published: October 2024

In 1946, Madrid became home to a Catholic university residence, the colegio mayor Santiago Apóstol, which catered specifically to refugee students from Eastern Europe who had fled the aftermath of the Second World War and the creation of Communist regimes in their home countries. This residence hall, which housed about 800 students from 20 nationalities between its opening in the postwar era and its rededication in 1969, was part of the anticommunist governmental strategy to overcome the political isolation that Francoist Spain found itself in. It was also part of the efforts of the Catholic church to support refugees from Eastern Europe in the early Cold War. This article aims to bring these strands together, focusing on the founding of the residence hall as a Catholic and governmental endeavor. In a second step, the article focuses on the residence hall itself, considering the agency of the residence’s officials and its students, and contemplating the residence’s academic and exile networks both in Spain and internationally.
Otra cosa que no sé cómo decir. Tosquelles, una historia cultural desde las vanguardias literarias y artísticas
Authors: Masó Joana 
Published: October 2024

Este artículo propone recorrer un conjunto de prácticas exploradas por el psiquiatra Francesc Tosquelles (1912-1994) que, en razón de su ausencia dentro de la historia cultural y política del s. XX, no se han visto sedimentadas dentro del relato histórico y nos permiten hoy repensar el sentido de las vanguardias clínicas, literarias y artísticas con las que dialogó para narrar, desde otro lugar, momentos políticos como la Segunda República, la guerra civil y el exilio francés. El artículo se organiza en torno a tres diálogos: la lectura del poema sobre la guerra civil de Gabriel Ferrater, In memoriam, en la que Tosquelles moviliza la herencia del lingüista Roman Jakobson; la lectura del relato Aurélia de Gérard de Nerval donde Tosquelles, lejos de la fascinación por el genio romántico, distingue críticamente entre sueño y delirio; finalmente, la discusión entre Tosquelles y el teórico del art brut, el artista Jean Dubuffet, que toma la forma de un desacuerdo sobre el sentido de las producciones artísticas realizadas por internos en los hospitales psiquiátricos. A través de estos tres diálogos, Tosquelles elabora una concepción de la vanguardia para la cual, “sin el reconocimiento del valor humano de la locura, es el hombre mismo quien desaparece”.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
The mortality risks of children undergoing various cardiac surgeries for congenital heart disease (CHD) in India are not well defined. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the inhospital mortality of various common CHD surgeries reported in India and compared it to representative data from established Western databases.

Methods and Results:
We searched four bibliographic databases for studies published in India over the last 25 years. In total, 135 studies met the inclusion criteria and included 30,587 patients aged from 1 day to 65 years. The pooled mortality rate of 43 Indian studies reporting multiple CHD surgical outcomes is 5.63% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.26–7.16; I
2 = 93.9%), whereas the Western data showed a pooled mortality rate of 2.65% (P value for comparison <0.0001). The pooled mortality risk for ventricular septal defect closure and tetralogy of Fallot repair in Indian studies was 2.87% (95% CI: 0.76–5.91; I
2 = 62.4%) and 4.61% (95% CI: 2.0–8.02; I
2 = 87.4%), respectively. The estimated mortality risk was higher than the Western databases for all subcategories studied except for surgeries in the grown-ups with CHD population and coarctation repair.

Conclusions:
The estimated mortality risks are higher among Indian patients undergoing cardiac surgery for CHD as compared to Western data. We need prospective multicentric data to document whether the observed excess mortality exists after adjusting for various high-risk features and comorbidities in Indian patients. We need systemic measures to improve the outcomes of CHD surgeries in India.

ABSTRACT
Berry et al. (1982) described a rare syndrome associated with distal aortopulmonary window, aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery, intact ventricular septum, and interruption or coarctation of the aorta. Here, we present the first neonatal case of single-stage repair of Berry syndrome in India. Timely surgery and skilled postoperative care define the short-term and long-term outcomes. Single-staged repair is preferred wherever feasible.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Case Based Learning (CBL) is the best method for correlation of knowledge with clinical scenarios. The present study is planned to implement case-based learning in 1st-Year MBBS students and find out the perception of the students as a guideline to incorporate this activity in the curriculum.

Material and Methods:
The study was conducted among 1st-Year MBBS students. The students who consented to participate were divided into 23 groups each containing 5-6 participants. The case along with the reference material was allotted to the groups of students sequentially. Faculty was allotted to each group of students for their help and discussion on the given case. The completed activity was uploaded on Moodle for all the students to go through. After 25 weeks, students’ perception of the activity were obtained with the help of validated questionnaire through Google Forms. Data was analyzed in SPSS software.

Results:
85% of students felt that CBL helped them understand clinical applications, enhanced problem-solving skills and retention of knowledge. More than 85% of students were comfortable with CBL in terms of relevance to the curriculum, mode of conduction, and development of interest. Over 90% of students mentioned that provided resources and faculty were helpful.

Conclusion:
The study concludes that successful implementation of case-based learning is possible for 1st-Year MBBS medical students. Students perceived CBL as a motivating and effective teaching-learning method.
