AbstractSchool teachers are among workers most exposed to stress and burnout—a relevant occupational phenomenon leading to psychological and economic costs. The Environmental Sensitivity individual trait—as captured by the psychological marker of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS)—has been found to have a relevant role in stress and emotional exhaustion at work. Yet, little is still known about heightened SPS in the educational field and on underlying mechanisms occurring in the relationship between SPS, stress and burnout. The current work aimed to explore the association between SPS and burnout among teachers as well as the moderating role of perceived stress and school climate in this association. One hundred and ninety eight teachers (44.3 years; SD = 9.7, 94% F) reported on their levels of SPS, occupational burnout, perceived stress and school climate quality. In line with a vulnerability effect, we found heightened SPS largely associated with burnout. This was particularly evident in a context of high‐perceived stress, suggesting that teachers high on SPS may experience more challenges in the face of elevated stress with the need of more support. When exposed to positive and supportive school climate, highly sensitive teachers showed a decrease in burnout, suggesting high SPS as a valuable strength for benefiting from positive experiences. Findings have the potential to inform the customisation of support programs, assisting both schools and work agencies in increasing their awareness of the role of individual differences in responding to both work‐demand‐related stress and to positive work environments.

AbstractGrain boundary (GB) mass transport, and chemistry exert a pronounced influence on both the performance and stability of electrodes for solid oxide electrochemical cells. Lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF6428) is applied as a model mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) perovskite oxide. The cation‐vacancy distribution at the GBs is studied at both single and multi‐grain scales using high‐resolution characterization techniques and computational approaches. The accumulation of oxygen vacancies () in the GB region, rather than necessarily at the GB core, results in an enhancement of the oxygen diffusivity by 3 – 4 orders of magnitude along the GBs (Dgb). At 350 °C, the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient (D*) is measured as 2.5 × 10−14 cm2 s−1. The Dgb is determined to be 2.8 × 10−10 cm2 s−1 assuming a crystallographic GB width (δcrystal) of 1 nm, and 2.5 × 10−11 cm2 s−1 using a chemically measured δchem of 11.10 nm by atom probe tomography (APT). The origin of the concomitant changes in the cation composition is also investigate. In addition to the host cations, strong Na segregation is detected at all the GBs examined. Despite the low (ppm) level of this impurity, its presence can affect the space charge potential (Φ0). This, in turn, will influence the evolution of GB chemistry.

AbstractThe growing interest in low‐temperature direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) arises from the utilization of a carbon‐neutral ammonia source; however, DAFCs encounter significant electrode overpotentials due to the substantial energy barrier of the *NH2 to *NH dehydrogenation, compounded by the facile deactivation by *N on the Pt surface. In this work, a unique catalyst, Pt4Ir@AlOOH/NGr i.e., Pt4Ir/ANGr, is introduced composed of PtIr alloy nanoparticles controllably decorated on the pseudo‐boehmite phase of AlOOH‐supported nitrogen‐doped reduced graphene (AlOOH/NGr) composite, synthesized via the polyol reduction method. The detailed studies on the structural and electronic properties of the catalyst by XAS and VB‐XPS reveal the possible electronic modulations. The optimized Pt4Ir/ANGr composition exhibits a significantly improved onset potential and mass activity for AOR. The DFT study confirms the OHad species spillover by AlOOH and Pt4Ir (100) facilitates the conversion of the *NH2 to *NH with minimal energy barriers. Finally, testing of DAFC at the system level using a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with Pt4Ir/ANGr as the anode catalyst, demonstrating the suitability of the catalyst for its practical applications. This study thus uncovers the potential of the Pt4Ir catalyst in synergy with ANGr, largely addressing the challenges in hydrogen transportation, storage, and safety within DAFCs.

AbstractThis case report details a perineal hernia in a 3‐year‐old Angus heifer in late gestation. The heifer had a gradually increasing swelling of the perineal region since 2 weeks. Upon palpation, the swelling was painless, hard and non‐reducible. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a hernial sac enclosing the non‐pregnant horn of the uterus, filled with homogenous hypoechoic fluid. Based on the anamnesis and clinical examination, a tentative diagnosis of perineal herniation was made. Considering the deteriorating clinical condition of the cow and the possible risk of dystocia, the viable calf was delivered by Caesarean section. The cow recovered with a reducible hernial sac, which was decided not to correct surgically due to its large size. After 7 days, the cow showed no further complications and was discharged. In conclusion, although rare, a perineal hernia involving the uterus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perineal swellings in pregnant cows.
Effective range of auditory frightening devices based on hearing capabilities and antipredator responses of nuisance blackbirds

Published: October 2024

AbstractA variety of acoustic strategies have been implemented to disperse wildlife from areas of human‐wildlife conflict. Propane cannons are a popular tool; however, their efficacy based on avian behavior has yet to be fully explored. We collected sound attenuation data for a propane cannon, compared to a rifle and shotgun, with reference to hearing capabilities in birds. We evaluated the behavioral responses of red‐winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus, RWBL) and brown‐headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater, BHCO) to detonations of a cannon. We placed birds in individual enclosures, void of visual stimuli, at 15–495 m from a cannon and evaluated responses (i.e., relaxed, vigilant, startled) to cannon blasts using 2 approaches: 1) incremental, where individual birds were exposed to a series of detonations at decreasing distances and 2) random assignment, where individual birds were randomly assigned distances and exposed to 2 series of 4 cannon blasts. We found behavioral responses of birds significantly decreased at greater distances (χ2(1) = 127, P < 0.001), regardless of species (χ2(1) = 0.74, P = 0.389), when incrementally approached. The probability of startling (i.e., flinch, wing flap, feather compression, or flight) was greater than vigilance (i.e., increased head turning, sudden head‐up, or neck extension) within 64 m for BHCO and 136 m for RWBL. We found a significant effect of distance (χ2(1) = 97.8, P < 0.001), between species (χ2(1) = 19.6, P < 0.001), and blast number (χ2(3) = 17.6, P < 0.001) when birds were randomly assigned a distance from the cannon. With the first cannon blast, the probability of startling was greater than vigilance or relaxed within 334 m for BHCO and 153 m for RWBL. With subsequent blasts the probability of startling was greater than vigilance and relaxed within 204–221 m of the cannon for BHCO, but startling was never greater than vigilance for RWBL. We note that the estimated range of the cannon is conservative given birds are contained with limited flight ability. Nevertheless, information on effective range and avian responses to repeated blasts informs managers on the potential interstimulus timing and distribution of propane cannons to protect resources from birds.
Numerical exploration of micropolar fluid stratified flow over curved stretching sheet under buoyancy effect

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis article focuses on the effect of buoyancy on the bioconvective micropolar fluid flow over a curved stretching surface under the slip boundary condition. Mass and heat transfer analysis has been analysed using double stratification, linear heat source, chemical reaction and Joule dissipation. The calculation of entropy formation in a fluid flow is also illustrated. Using similarity transformations, the system of partial differential equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations through reduction in the flow equations and then solved using the numerical methodology of the Runge‐Kutta‐Fehlberg 4th‐5th order method. The mathematical data obtained for velocity, temperature, concentration, and bio‐convection profiles with different parameters are presented on graphs. The velocity profile exhibits consistent behaviour near the buoyancy parameter, with a decrease at the boundary followed by an increase. Notably, the velocity profile experiences a decrease under first‐order slip conditions but grows when subjected to second‐order slip. Micro‐rotation intensifies as the material parameter increases. Conversely, temperature and concentration has declined as the stratification parameter rises. Additionally, the concentration of motile microorganisms reduces with increasing Lewis number and Peclet number. As the material parameter rises, entropy decreases while the Bejan number increases.
BRST covariant phase space and holographic Ward identities
Authors: Baulieu Laurent , Wetzstein Tom 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper develops an enlarged BRST framework to treat the large gauge transformations of a given quantum field theory. It determines the associated infinitely many Noether charges stemming from a gauge fixed and BRST invariant Lagrangian, a result that cannot be obtained from Noether’s second theorem. The geometrical significance of this result is highlighted by the construction of a trigraded BRST covariant phase space, allowing a BRST invariant gauge fixing procedure. This provides an appropriate framework for determining the conserved BRST Noether current of the global BRST symmetry and the associated global Noether charges. The latter are found to be equivalent with the usual classical corner charges of large gauge transformations. It allows one to prove the gauge independence of their physical effects at the perturbative quantum level. In particular, the underlying BRST fundamental canonical relation provides the same graded symplectic brackets as in the classical covariant phase space. A unified Lagrangian Ward identity for small and large gauge transformations is built. It consistently decouples into a bulk part for small gauge transformations, which is the standard BRST-BV quantum master equation, and a boundary part for large gauge transformations. The boundary part provides a perturbation theory origin for the invariance of the Hamiltonian physical -matrix under asymptotic symmetries. Holographic anomalies for the boundary Ward identity are studied and found to be solutions of a codimension one Wess-Zumino consistency condition. Such solutions are studied in the context of extended BMS symmetry. Their existence clarifies the status of the 1-loop correction to the subleading soft graviton theorem.

-deformation, utilizing the complexity equals volume (CV) and the complexity equals action (CA) proposals within the bulk spacetime with a finite radius cutoff. We find that the complexity of the deformed theory differs from the renormalized complexity of the original theory by a geometric functional: the bending (Willmore) energy of the time-constant slice of the base manifold. We use this result to propose an unambiguous scheme for calculating holographic quantum complexity through the CA proposal.

While the upper bound overlaps with the familiar Hagedorn bound in the deformed theory, the novel lower bound on the negative values of the deformation parameter does not show up in thermodynamic quantities. However, from a holographic perspective we show that this intriguing lower bound is related to a spacelike to null transition of the associated Ryu-Takayanagi surface in the deformed geometry. We also investigate the Quantum Null Energy Condition in the deformed theory, within its regime of validity.
A twist at infinite distance in the CHL string
Authors: Collazuol Veronica , Melnikov Ilarion V. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We analyze a space-time algebra of BPS states that emerges in the infinite distance limit in the moduli space of the nine-dimensional CHL string as the theory decompactifies to the ten-dimensional E8 × E8 heterotic string. We find an affine algebra as expected from the heterotic case, but in a twisted version.
Two-phase flows through porous media described by a Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman model with dynamic boundary conditions
Authors: Colli Pierluigi , Knopf Patrik , Schimperna Giulio , Signori Andrea 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe investigate a new diffuse-interface model that describes creeping two-phase flows (i.e., flows exhibiting a low Reynolds number), especially flows that permeate a porous medium. The system of equations consists of a Brinkman equation for the volume averaged velocity field and a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation with dynamic boundary conditions for the phase field, which describes the location of the two fluids within the domain. The dynamic boundary conditions are incorporated to model the interaction of the fluids with the wall of the container more precisely. In particular, they allow for a dynamic evolution of the contact angle between the interface separating the fluids and the boundary, and for a convection-induced motion of the corresponding contact line. For our model, we first prove the existence of global-in-time weak solutions in the case where regular potentials are used in the Cahn–Hilliard subsystem. In this case, we can further show the uniqueness of the weak solution under suitable additional assumptions. We further prove the existence of weak solutions in the case of singular potentials. Therefore, we regularize such singular potentials by a Moreau–Yosida approximation, such that the results for regular potentials can be applied, and eventually pass to the limit in this approximation scheme.
Impact of blood parasites on the behaviour of two congeneric wall lizards (genus Podarcis)
Authors: Faria J. Filipe , Megía-Palma Rodrigo , Harris D. James 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Modern studies have shown how parasites add extra complexity to ecosystems through their potential effects on hosts. Blood parasites are common in lizards and various studies have suggested varying degrees of negative effects on these hosts. In this study, we investigate effects of infection by blood parasites on the boldness and aggressiveness of male lizards of two sympatric species living in North Portugal: Podarcis bocagei and Podarcis lusitanicus, known to host blood parasites of two protozoan orders: Adeleorina and Eimeriorina (Apicomplexa). We used a mirror to quantify behavioural interactions of the lizards with their specular images, which did not identify any influence of parasite infection on either species. Boldness was evaluated through exploratory tests, with an identified trend for parasitized P. lusitanicus towards higher exploratory activity and exposure time. This was independent of the intensity of infection. No such effect was found for P. bocagei. The behavioural changes for infected P. lusitanicus appear to be in the direction of increasing light exposure by spending more time directly under the light source, thus suggesting a link with thermoregulation, although further experiments to clarify this hypothesis are required. These results highlight the importance of understanding individual parasite-host relationships, as they show that the same parasites can have different effects across even closely related species.

Significance statement
Parasites can affect their host in a variety of ways. We used mirror-interaction and exploratory tests to assess the effects of blood parasites in the aggressiveness and boldness behavioural traits of two sympatric lizard species: Podarcis bocagei and Podarcis lusitanicus. No effect of blood parasite infection in these two behavioural traits was identified on Podarcis bocagei. Podarcis lusitanicus tended to demonstrate a response to infection by Adeleorina with an increase in boldness and willingness to increase exposure times, despite low intensity of infection. Our results show how the same parasites can differently affect closely related host taxa from the same system, and how their effects can be significant even when intensities of infection are low.
Developing a Clinical Service in Interventional Radiology: Results from the 2024 CIRSE Clinical Practice Survey

Abstract
Purpose
Engaging in clinical service development is a prerequisite for Interventional Radiology (IR) to prosper as a full clinical discipline. The CIRSE Clinical Services in IR Task Force conducted a survey of CIRSE members worldwide to assess the current status of their clinical practice and to identify areas of practice requiring further support.

Materials and Methods
An online questionnaire with 63 structured items was sent to 7,501 CIRSE members in November 2023. The survey was closed in January 2024 and a statistical data analysis was performed.

Results
A total of 520 complete responses were collected. 49.6% of respondents have an IR outpatient clinic, 34.5% have a dedicated IR day-case ward and 19.8% have dedicated inpatient beds. While 62% of respondents treat patients as the primary consultant responsible for their patients’ care, 40.3% of respondents currently without their own beds have admitting rights to the hospital. Clinical practice activities are itemised in the work schedule of 41.3% of respondents and 45% routinely perform ward rounds. A total of 40% feel very positive with their personal clinical practice competency.

Conclusion
With half of responding IRs having primary patient access and clinical services in place, the results are encouraging; however further engagement by those who are not yet involved is required. The authors advocate a step-wise approach towards clinical services starting with ward rounds, and subsequently taking increasing responsibility for each step in the IR patient pathway.

Abstract
Purpose
Positive surgical margins (PSM) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer (PCa) can increase the risk of biochemical recurrence and PCa-specific mortality. We aimed to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTM) on reducing the incidence of PSM following RARP.

Methods
We retrospectively collected the clinical data of consecutive patients undergoing RARP at Hiroshima University between February 2017 and October 2023. The MDTM, comprising a radiologist, uropathologist, and urologist, reviewed the preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate biopsy results of each patient before RARP and considered the areas requiring attention during RARP. Surgeons were categorized as experienced or non-experienced based on the number of RARP procedures performed.

Results
In the pT2 population, the PSM rate was significantly lower in cases evaluated using the MDTM than in those not (11.1% vs. 24.0%; p = 0.0067). Cox regression analysis identified that a PSA level > 7 ng/mL (hazard ratio 2.2799) and nerve-sparing procedures (hazard ratio 2.2619) were independent predictors of increased PSM risk while conducting an MDTM (hazard ratio 0.4773) was an independent predictor of reduced PSM risk in the pT2 population. In the pathological T3 population, there was no significant difference in PSM rates between cases evaluated and not evaluated at an MDTM. In cases evaluated at an MDTM, similar PSM rates were observed regardless of surgeon experience (10.4% for non-experienced and 11.9% for experienced surgeons; p = 0.9999).

Conclusions
An MDTM can improve the PSM rate of pT2 PCa following RARP.
