IntroductionOccupational therapy (OT), a vital part of psychiatric rehabilitation, encourages participation in social activities, which is critical for the recovery of people with severe mental illnesses (SMI). However, the effects of OT on the subsequent social activities of patients with SMI have not been fully clarified. We aimed to identify the factors that encourage post-discharge social activity participation among patients with SMI who received OT.MethodPatients who underwent OT at the Kyorin University Hospital between April 2016 and March 2020 were retrospectively examined for baseline data during hospitalization and social activity status 1 year after discharge. Occupational support, group adaptation, artistic activities, and exercise programs were considered. Activities requiring social interaction were defined as social activities, including employment, schooling, sheltered work, and volunteer work. Multiple logistic regression analyses using demographic and medical data, prehospitalization social activity status, and OT participation rates as independent variables were used to examine the factors encouraging social activity participation after discharge. Decision tree analysis was conducted to identify patients who specifically needed to increase OT participation.ResultsOf 524 eligible patients, 247 were included in the study. The number of patients who were socially active at admission and after discharge was 116 and 188, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the following factors were likely to encourage social activity participation after discharge: higher rates of OT participation to facilitate group adaptation (OR = 1.015, 95% CI 1.003–1.027), being socially active at admission (OR = 4.557, 95% CI 2.155–9.637), and no marital history (OR = 0.293, 95% CI 0.130–0.661). Decision tree analysis showed that for patients who were socially inactive at admission and had a history of marriage, increasing OT participation to 52.6% or higher may ensure social activity participation after discharge.ConclusionsThis study identified patients whose social participation after discharge could be boosted by OT that facilitates group adaptation. Our findings would facilitate the development of individualized add-on rehabilitation based on the effects of real-world OT practices.

IntroductionThe aim of this proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new virtual reality (VR) platform for practising the Self-Attachment Technique (SAT) in a non-clinical population. The growing prevalence of mental health problems underscores the urgent need for scalable and effective interventions. SAT is a self-administered psychotherapeutic technique where the individual creates an affectional bond with their childhood self and vows to re-raise this child to emotional wellbeing. Digital technologies like VR and avatars can naturally enhance SAT by improving imaginative interactions with the childhood self.MethodsOver an 8-week period, participants practised the SAT exercises either by animating their personalised childhood avatar into different emotional states in VR or by imaginatively using their childhood photos. Participants’ measurements were collected before and after the intervention as well as at 3-month follow-up, and analysed to understand whether changes over time, in the areas of wellbeing, self-compassion and psychological capital, are significant.ResultsOverall, participants experienced significant improvement in wellbeing (primary outcome) with large effect size (r=0.86). Further exploratory analysis of our findings indicated that the effect of VR (d=1.12) was better compared to the childhood photos (d=0.47). Qualitative evidence from the present study suggested that the intervention had a positive impact on participants’ daily lives.DiscussionThis study showed that practising SAT using the participant’s childhood avatar in a virtual environment has potential for enduring effects that need to be validated in future randomised trials.

Published: August 2024

The Plasmodium falciparum mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) is responsible for essential metabolic pathways such as de novo pyrimidine synthesis and ATP synthesis. The mETC complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex) is responsible for transferring electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c and generating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is necessary for the function of ATP synthase. Recent studies have revealed that the composition of Plasmodium falciparum complex III (PfCIII) is divergent from humans, highlighting its suitability as a target for specific inhibition. Indeed, PfCIII is the target of the clinically used anti-malarial atovaquone and of several inhibitors undergoing pre-clinical trials, yet its role in parasite biology has not been thoroughly studied. We provide evidence that the universally conserved subunit, PfRieske, and the new parasite subunit, PfC3AP2, are part of PfCIII, with the latter providing support for the prediction of its divergent composition. Using inducible depletion, we show that PfRieske, and therefore, PfCIII as a whole, is essential for asexual blood stage parasite survival, in line with previous observations. We further found that depletion of PfRieske results in gametocyte maturation defects. These phenotypes are linked to defects in mitochondrial functions upon PfRieske depletion, including increased sensitivity to mETC inhibitors in asexual stages and decreased cristae abundance alongside abnormal mitochondrial morphology in gametocytes. This is the first study that explores the direct role of the PfCIII in gametogenesis via genetic disruption, paving the way for a better understanding of the role of mETC in the complex life cycle of these important parasites and providing further support for the focus of antimalarial drug development on this pathway.
An Investigation of the Photonic Application of TeO2-K2TeO3-Nb2O5-BaF2 Glass Co-Doped with Er2O3/Ho2O3 and Er2O3/Yb2O3 at 1.54 μm Based on Its Thermal and Luminescence Properties

A glass composition using TeO2-K2TeO3-Nb2O5-BaF2 co-doped with Er2O3/Ho2O3 and Er2O3/Yb2O3 was successfully fabricated. Its thermal stability and physical parameters were studied, and luminescence spectroscopy of the fabricated glasses was conducted. The optical band gap, Eopt, decreased from 2.689 to 2.663 eV following the substitution of Ho2O3 with Yb2O3. The values of the refractive index, third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(3)), and nonlinear refractive index (n2) of the fabricated glasses were estimated. Furthermore, the Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters Ωt (t=2,4,6), radiative properties such as transition probabilities (Aed), magnetic dipole-type transition probabilities (Amd), branching ratios (β), and radiative lifetime (τ) of the fabricated glasses were evaluated. The emission cross-section and FWHM of the 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition around 1.54 μm of the glass were reported, and the emission intensity of the visible signal was studied under 980 nm laser excitation. The material might be a useful candidate for solid lasers and nonlinear amplifier devices, especially in the communications bands.
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – a step towards Europe à la française?
Authors: Jaworski Kamil 
Published: August 2024

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) presented by the European Commission (EC) as a part of the ‘Fit for 55’ package was a turning point in almost twenty years of the French eff orts to implement this instrument. In this article I present the concept of CBAM. I also pose questions why France was so fervent proponent of introducing it into EU law and why it finally succeeded. In order to find the answer to these questions I recall the main assumptions of the French European policy. Then, I explain how policy of continuity was rewarded in times of important political changes. I also argue that multidimensional character of CBAM gives enough opportunity for France to shape not only EU climate pol-icy but other EU policies as well. I conclude that CBAM fits perfectly to the French interests. It allows all successive presidents of the Fifth Republic to adapt it to the current needs and include it in their narratives on EU affairs.
Małe reaktory modułowe w polsko-amerykańskiej współpracy energetycznej
Authors: Jureńczyk Łukasz 
Published: August 2024

Artykuł dotyczy znaczenia małych reaktorów modułowych w polsko-amerykańskiej współpracy na rzecz realizacji cywilnego programu jądrowego w Polsce. Aby zapewnić bezpieczeństwo energetyczne i spełnić wymagania europejskie w zakresie ochrony środowiska, polskie władze zdecydowały się na realizacje cywilnego programu jądrowego. Za decyzją tą przemawia wiele argumentów technologicznych, środowiskowych i geopolitycznych, a ponadto ma ona poparcie społeczne. Jak dotąd w realizacji cywilnego programu jądrowego szczególną rolę odgrywają Stany Zjednoczone, które gotowe są na transfer technologii jądrowej do Polski. Dotyczy to zarówno tradycyjnych elektrowni jądrowych, jak i małych reaktorów modułowych. Technologia SMR jest nowa, a przedsiębiorstwa amerykańskie wiodą prymat w jej rozwoju. Ponieważ pierwsze wiarygodne dane dotyczące efektywności i funkcjonalności SMR pojawią się dopiero za około dekady, Polska nie zdecydowała się na wykorzystanie tych systemów jako podstawowej technologii w programie rozwoju energetyki jądrowej. Mają one jednak pełnić funkcję subsydiarną w postaci źródeł zasilania dla dużych polskich przedsiębiorstw. Jeśli w przyszłości dowiodą swojej wartości, to nie wykluczone, że będą wykorzystywane również w masowej produkcji energii dla społeczeństwa.

Objetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar a correlação entre o uso de corticosteroides e a ocorrência de necrose avascular do colo do fêmur (NACF), identificar os mecanismos biológicos subjacentes a essa correlação, e avaliar a incidência e os fatores de risco adicionais associados ao desenvolvimento de NACF em pacientes submetidos à corticoterapia.
Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão crítica da literatura com a seleção de estudos relevantes que investigam a relação entre a corticoterapia e a NACF. A busca de literatura incluiu bases de dados como PubMed e MEDLINE, utilizando termos específicos relacionados a osteonecrose, corticoterapia e fatores de risco. Os estudos selecionados foram analisados quanto à qualidade metodológica e à relevância dos achados para os objetivos do estudo.
Resultados: A revisão revelou uma forte correlação dose-dependente entre a administração de corticosteroides e o risco de desenvolvimento de NACF, com a apoptose dos osteócitos e a redução da angiogênese emergindo como mecanismos patogênicos centrais. Além disso, regimes de administração em dias alternados demonstraram reduzir significativamente o risco de NACF em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico. Fatores de risco adicionais, como consumo de álcool e coagulopatias, foram identificados como amplificadores significativos do risco de NACF quando combinados com corticoterapia.
Conclusão: A análise consolidada dos estudos revisados reforça a necessidade de personalização dos tratamentos com corticosteroides, considerando a dose, a duração e os fatores de risco individuais dos pacientes para mitigar o risco de NACF.

The aim of the work is to study the strength and deformation properties of expanded clay concrete on cement-ash binder and to prove the technical possibility and economic feasibility of its study in structural elements of civil buildings. The five-factor plan B5 was implemented. In the matrix, each of the technological factors changed at three levels (-1; 0; +1), which made it possible to obtain quadratic mathematical models of output parameters - the bulk mass of concrete, cubic and prismatic strength of the expanded clay concrete at the age of 1 (a.s), 28, 115, 180 and 360 days, when the expanded clay concrete mixture is mobile (the constant draught of the cone is DC= 2...6 сm). Processing of experimental results to identify regularities of influence of studied factors - consumption: cement (x1); lime (х2); fly ash (х3); expanded clay gravel (х4); quartz sand (x5) on water consumption of ceramic and concrete mixtures – B, volume of inter-grain voids Vn, the density of the ceramic concrete mixture – ρo and the density of the expanded clay concrete ρ allowed to obtain with 95% reliability quadratic regression equations, taking into account only significant regression coefficients. Based on the results of experimental studies with 95% reliability quadratic regression equations of cubic and prismatic strength in the age of 1 (a.s), 28, 180* and 360* days are obtained, expanded clay concrete on CLF-binder and quartz sand with only significant regression factors. The paper examines and analyzes the influence of recipe and technological factors on the strength of expanded clay concrete on quartz sand. The invention makes it possible to use the dependence of a cubic and prism strength expanded clay concrete on quartz sand using a large component binder with a further prospect of saving cement and fillers.
O gado que circulava: Desafios da gestão participativa de unidades de conservação nos gerais do norte de Minas

Published: August 2024

No Cerrado, práticas tradicionais, como a pecuária de solta, estão presentes desde o século XVIII, mas ainda não foram devidamente incorporadas no debate sobre gestão participativa. Devido Ã privatização do espaço rural e Ã criação de unidades de conservação, as comunidades locais estão sendo "encurraladas" e até excluídas de seus espaços tradicionalmente utilizados. Haveria possibilidades de manter/adaptar a prática tradicional da pecuária de solta na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Veredas do Acari? Quais são os entraves para o reconhecimento desta prática como parceira da conservação? O objetivo deste artigo é compreender as dificuldades locais em se implantar a gestão participativa local, assim como analisar a possível harmonização entre a pecuária de solta e os objetivos de conservação. Foi realizada uma pesquisa participativa com os atores locais. O mapeamento dos fluxos de animais nos permitiu retratar melhor o caráter dinâmico e intermitente da ocupação da RDS pelo gado. O rebanho de cada criador segue uma "rota" conhecida por eles e que não se sobrepõe entre si. Este conhecimento revela uma espécie de gestão "indireta" do território pelos criadores através do gado. As regras que regem este tipo de manejo são informais e se baseiam em acordos de cooperação entre os usuários. As entrevistas realizadas revelam as dificuldades de cooperação entre o órgão gestor da UC e os criadores de gado para construir acordos de gestão participativa. Como não reconhece as práticas dos criadores como legítimas, o órgão ambiental busca compensar as restrições de uso e proibição do fogo, diretamente ligado Ã criação de gado, privilegiando outras atividades, como extrativismo e artesanato. Os criadores, mesmo reconhecendo o impacto causado pela pecuária de solta, atribuem os impactos mais significativos Ã s monoculturas de eucalipto. A pecuária de solta na RDS Veredas do Acari tem sido motivo de conflito entre os criadores de gado e o IEF, justamente porque há diferentes percepções sobre a responsabilidade e origem dos impactos ambientais a ela associados. No entanto, o conflito entre os criadores de gado solto e outros atores públicos e privados é mais antigo: é ligado ao estabelecimento das cercas e a privatização dos espaços de uso comum.

Abstract
We present a new suite of numerical simulations of the star-forming interstellar medium (ISM) in galactic disks using the TIGRESS-NCR framework. Distinctive aspects of our simulation suite are (1) sophisticated and comprehensive numerical treatments of essential physical processes including magnetohydrodynamics, self-gravity, and galactic differential rotation, as well as photochemistry, cooling, and heating coupled with direct ray-tracing UV radiation transfer and resolved supernova feedback and (2) wide parameter coverage including the variation in metallicity over

. The reduction in ΣSFR at low metallicity is due mainly to enhanced thermal feedback yield, resulting from reduced attenuation of UV radiation. With the metallicity-dependent calibrations we provide, PRFM theory can be used for a new subgrid star formation prescription in cosmological simulations where the ISM is unresolved.
A Search for Soft X-Ray Emission Lines in the Afterglow Spectrum of GRB 221009A
Authors: Campana Sergio , Braito Valentina , Lazzati Davide , Tiengo Andrea 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
GRB 221009A was the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time (BOAT), surpassing in prompt brightness all GRBs discovered in ∼50 yr and in afterglow brightness in ∼20 yr. We observed the BOAT with XMM-Newton 2.3 days after the prompt. The X-ray afterglow was still very bright and we collected the largest number of photons with the reflection grating spectrometers (RGSs) on a GRB. We searched the RGS data for narrow emission or absorption features. We did not detect any bright line feature. A candidate narrow feature is identified at a (rest-frame) energy of

emission line, slightly redshifted (0.012) with respect to the host galaxy. We assessed a marginal statistical significance of 3.0σ for this faint feature based on conservative Monte Carlo simulations, which requires caution for any physical interpretation. If this line feature would be for real, we propose that it might originate from the reflection in the innermost regions of the infalling funnel from low-level late-time activity emission of the central engine.
On the Sensitivity of Apophis’s 2029 Earth Approach to Small Asteroid Impacts
Authors: Wiegert Paul 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Apophis’s current trajectory takes it safely past our planet at a distance of several Earth radii on 2029 April 13. Here the possibility is considered that Apophis could collide with a small asteroid, like the ones that frequently and unpredictably strike Earth, and the resulting perturbation of its trajectory. The probability of an impact that could significantly displace Apophis relative to its keyholes is found to be less than one in 106, requiring a Δv ≳ 0.3 mm s−1, while for an impact that could significantly displace Apophis compared to its miss distance in 2029, it is less than one in 109, requiring a Δv ≳ 5 cm s−1. These probabilities are below the usual thresholds considered by asteroid impact warning systems. Apophis is in the daytime sky and unobservable from mid-2021 to 2027. It will be challenging to determine from single-night observations in 2027 if Apophis has moved on the target plane enough to enter a dangerous keyhole, as the deviation from the nominal ephemeris might be only a few tenths of an arcsecond. An impending Earth impact would, however, be signaled clearly in most cases by deviations of tens of arcseconds of Apophis from its nominal ephemeris in 2027. Thus, most of the impact risk could be retired by a single observation of Apophis in 2027, though a minority of cases present some ambiguity and are discussed in more detail. Charts of the on-sky position of Apophis under different scenarios are presented for quick assessment by observers.
