Authors: Regener Helge , Trede Ines 
Published: July 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
In der Schweiz nimmt der Mangel an rettungsdienstlichem Fachpersonal trotz steigender Ausbildungszahlen stetig zu. Umstände und Gründe dieses Fachkräftemangels wurden bislang nicht differenziert beschrieben.

Ziel der Arbeit
Diese Lücke soll mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag geschlossen werden. Um ein besseres Verständnis der Einflussfaktoren in Bezug auf Berufsverbleib und -ausstieg im Rettungsdienst zu erlangen und um Handlungsfelder zur Reduktion des Fachkräftemangels zu identifizieren, werden verschiedene Faktoren mit Einfluss auf Berufsverbleib und -wechsel nach soziodemografischen Merkmalen wie Geschlecht, Bildungsweg und sprachregionalen Besonderheiten erfasst und analysiert.

Material und Methoden
Erstmals wurden in einer anonymisierten Onlineumfrage mit 23 Items systematisch Daten zum Berufsverbleib von Diplomierten Rettungssanitäterinnen und -sanitätern in allen Landesteilen erhoben. Hierfür wurden die Diplomandinnen und Diplomanden der Abschlussjahre 2008–2023 aller Schweizer Höheren Fachschulen Rettungssanität in drei Landessprachen adressiert (n = 2394).

Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerung
Bei einem Rücklauf von 61 % (n = 1453) und einer im Vergleich zur Grundgesamtheit repräsentativen Verteilung für Geschlecht und Sprache konnten mehrere potenzielle Ursachen von Berufsausstiegen analysiert werden. So sind fehlende Karrieremöglichkeiten und Unzufriedenheiten mit Arbeitszeit- bzw. Schichtdienstmodellen die häufigsten genannten Gründe dafür, den Beruf zu verlassen. Die unterschiedlichen Anschlusslösungen nach Ausstieg aus dem Rettungsdienst, beispielsweise ein Verbleib im Gesundheitswesen oder ein Branchenwechsel, zeigen verschiedene Handlungsoptionen für die Arbeitgeber auf.

Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to analyze the clinical and multimodal imaging manifestations of adult-onset neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) patients and to investigate NIID-specific neuroimaging biomarkers.

Methods
Forty patients were retrospectively enrolled from the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. We analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics of 40 adult-onset NIID patients and investigated the correlation between these characteristics and genetic markers and neuropsychological scores. We further explored NIID-specific alterations using multimodal imaging indices, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and brain age estimation. In addition, we summarized the dynamic evolution pattern of NIID by examining the changes in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signals over time.

Results
The NIID patients’ ages ranged from 31 to 77 years. Cognitive impairment was the most common symptom (30/40, 75.0%), while some patients (18/40, 45.0%) initially presented with episodic symptoms such as headache (10/40, 25.0%). Patients with cognitive impairment symptoms had more cerebral white matter damage (χ2 = 11.475, P = 0.009). The most prevalent imaging manifestation was a high signal on DWI in the corticomedullary junction area, which was observed in 80.0% (32/40) of patients. In addition, the DWI dynamic evolution patterns could be classified into four main patterns. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) revealed extensive thinning of cerebral white matter fibers. The estimated brain age surpassed the patient’s chronological age, signifying advanced brain aging in NIID patients.

Conclusions
The clinical manifestations of NIID exhibit significant variability, usually leading to misdiagnosis. Our results provided new imaging perspectives for accurately diagnosing and exploring this disease’s neuropathological mechanisms.

Abstract
Background
The technical challenges and safety concerns of single-incision laparoscopic gastrectomy for overweight and obese gastric cancer patients remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (SIDG) compared to multiport laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (MLDG) in overweight and obese gastric cancer patients.

Methods
This study retrospectively analyzed overweight and obese patients (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) and pathologic stage T1 primary gastric adenocarcinoma treated with either SIDG or MLDG. The SIDG and MLDG groups were propensity score matched at a 1:2 ratio using age, sex, height, body weight, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, year of surgery, pathologic N stage, and anastomosis method as covariates.

Results
After 1:2 matching, the study included patients who underwent SIDG (n = 179) and MLDG (n = 358). No significant difference in the number of retrieved lymph nodes was found between the SIDG and MLDG groups (52.8 ± 19.3 vs. 53.9 ± 21.0, P = 0.56). Operation times were significantly shorter in the SIDG group (170.8 ± 60.0 min vs. 186.1 ± 52.6 min, P = 0.004). The postoperative hospital length of stay was comparable between the 2 groups (SIDG: 5.9 ± 3.4 days vs. MLDG: 6.3 ± 5.1 days, P = 0.23), as was postoperative complication rate (SIDG: 13.4% vs. MLDG: 12.8%, P = 0.89).

Conclusions
SIDG was shown to be as safe and feasible as MLDG for overweight and obese gastric cancer patients, with comparable early postoperative complication rates without compromising operation time compared to MLDG.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe paper introduce a novel auxiliary equation method for the successful derivation of traveling wave solutions for the non-linear Kairat-X (K-X) equation. Along with other novel results, soliton, singular, triangular periodic, and doubly periodic topological solutions are among the solutions obtained. The study revisits the concept of optical solitary waves, enhancing our understanding of the model. Previous studies have already derived analytical solutions using diverse approaches, contributing to the discovery of new soliton solutions within this framework. These solutions are characterized through three-dimensional, contour plot, and two-dimensional profile analyses. Additionally, the impact of time on the propagation of wave patterns is explored. The outcomes show how well our suggested approach works to solve non-linear evolution equations by producing fresh, more thorough solutions, making it a powerful mathematical tool for doing so. Through this article, we elucidate how leveraging NAEM with the Kairat-X equation can lead to optimized optical systems, improved data transmission rates, and the evolution of nonlinear optics towards more efficient and reliable communication technologies.
Calendar anomalies and dividend announcements effects on the stock markets returns
Authors: Hasan Fakhrul , Al-Najjar Basil 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this study, we extend the existing literature around dividend signaling theory and calendar anomalies by addressing the question of whether calendar anomalies, including Halloween, Turn-of-the-Month (TOM), January, Monday, and Friday effects, have any influence on the relationship between stock returns and dividend announcements. Previous studies have primarily focused on demonstrating the impact of calendar anomalies on overall stock market returns. Our main aim is to investigate whether the Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CARs) associated with dividend announcements made by firms listed in the FTSE 350 index exhibit deviations from the norm due to these calendar anomalies. Our findings reveal a notable asymmetry in the reactions to dividend increase and decrease announcements. Specifically, the timing of dividend increase announcements appears to have no significant effect on their associated CARs. However, dividend decrease announcements made during periods characterized by seasonality exhibit CARs that differ significantly from those observed during normal times. Importantly, these findings remain robust across various alternative economic model specifications, including interaction models, binary models, and GMM estimations. Consequently, our results suggest that calendar anomalies, such as Halloween, January, and Friday effects, play a key role in shaping the association between stock returns and dividend announcements.

Abstract
Purpose of the Review
This review provides an in-depth evaluation of the existing information on peri-implant wound healing basics with a specific focus on local and systemic determinants affecting short and long-term clinical outcomes.

Recent Findings
Peri-implant wound healing has been heavily studied in relation to biocompatibility of biomaterials and various surgical techniques for predictable and stable osseointegration. Short-term outcomes have been explored as a response to immediate, early and delayed implant placement and/or mechanical loading while long-term stability has been investigated as a response of time, restorative design and well-established risk factors such as periodontitis and smoking. It has been also reported that peri-implant bone remodeling is a continuous phenomenon, and several ill-described local factors may differentially affect implant fixture and bone interface.

Summary
As research presents better evidence on implant soft tissue interface, we now understand that established peri-implant sulcus consists of a modified mucosal seal/ soft tissue attachment with short junctional epithelium, significant fibrotic connective tissue and limited wound healing capacity. In addition, long-term response of the soft tissue against titanium alloy as a transmucosal device within oral cavity has raised significant challenges negatively affecting success of implant supported dental restorations.
Automated Scoring of Constructed Response Items in Math Assessment Using Large Language Models

Published: July 2024

AbstractRecent developments in the field of artificial intelligence allow for improved performance in the automated assessment of extended response items in mathematics, potentially allowing for the scoring of these items cheaply and at scale. This study details the grand prize-winning approach to developing large language models (LLMs) to automatically score the ten items in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Math Scoring Challenge. The approach uses extensive preprocessing that balanced the class labels for each item. This was done by identifying and filtering over-represented classes using a classifier trained on document-term matrices and data augmentation of under-represented classes using a generative pre-trained large language model (Grammarly’s Coedit-XL; Raheja et al., 2023). We also use input modification schemes that were hand-crafted to each item type and included information from parts of the multi-step math problem students had to solve. Finally, we finetune several pre-trained large language models on the modified input for each individual item in the NAEP automated math scoring challenge, with DeBERTa (He et al., 2021a) showing the best performance. This approach achieved human-like agreement (less than QWK 0.05 difference from human–human agreement) on nine out of the ten items in a held-out test set.
Confused Constitutionalism in Hungary—New Assessment Criteria for Recognising a Populist Constitutional Court
Authors: Gárdos-Orosz Fruzsina 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe starting point of the paper is that the early constitutional changes after the populist transformation of Hungarian majority state politics (from 2010) and the application of the new Fundamental Law (since 2012) have created difficulty in achieving constitutional justice by judicial means. The fundamental populist constitutional transformation and, within this, the transformation of the regulation of the Constitutional Court have created great challenges for constitutional adjudication. Scholarship on the transformation of the Hungarian Constitutional Court regards the change of jurisprudence as a consequence of the constitutional environment, which ended up in institutional state capture. Basing my arguments on the classic competence-related issues of constitutional justice, activism and deference, I argue here that for constitutional courts, there is always a limited room for manoeuvre by interpretation except for in a ‘hard’ dictatorship. Populist Hungarian jurisprudence is, therefore, not only a consequence of constitutional change but a contribution per se—a cause of the construction of a populist constitution. This job has been done by constitutional interpretation in an activist or deferent manner with regard to specific politically sensitive issues. EU- and emergency-related constitutional conflicts are used here as examples to explain the proposed assessment criteria. The conclusion is that either the Court is activist or deferent, it contributes actively to the populist construction by constitutional interpretation.

AbstractElectronic waste (e-waste) and diabetes are global challenges to modern societies. However, solving these two challenges together has been challenging until now. Herein, we propose a laser-induced transfer method to fabricate portable glucose sensors by recycling copper from e-waste. We bring up a laser-induced full-automatic fabrication method for synthesizing continuous heterogeneous CuxO (h-CuxO) nano-skeletons electrode for glucose sensing, offering rapid (< 1 min), clean, air-compatible, and continuous fabrication, applicable to a wide range of Cu-containing substrates. Leveraging this approach, h-CuxO nano-skeletons, with an inner core predominantly composed of Cu2O with lower oxygen content, juxtaposed with an outer layer rich in amorphous CuxO (a-CuxO) with higher oxygen content, are derived from discarded printed circuit boards. When employed in glucose detection, the h-CuxO nano-skeletons undergo a structural evolution process, transitioning into rigid Cu2O@CuO nano-skeletons prompted by electrochemical activation. This transformation yields exceptional glucose-sensing performance (sensitivity: 9.893 mA mM−1 cm−2; detection limit: 0.34 μM), outperforming most previously reported glucose sensors. Density functional theory analysis elucidates that the heterogeneous structure facilitates gluconolactone desorption. This glucose detection device has also been downsized to optimize its scalability and portability for convenient integration into people’s everyday lives.

Published: July 2024

AbstractUnderstanding evolving public views on food production is vital to ensure agricultural industries remain socially sustainable. To explore public attitudes to the dairy industry, a convenience sample of Australian citizens were asked to write their choice of a ‘love letter’ or ‘breakup letter’ to dairy. The present study provides results from the 19 letters submitted. Participants varied in age, gender identity, income and frequency of consumption of dairy products. The letters were on average 144 words long (range: 48–285), and were categorized into 8 love letters, 6 break-up letters, and 5 ‘distance’ letters that conveyed a conflicted stance. We undertook inductive thematic analysis of all letters, identifying three main themes: (1) personal relationship with dairy; (2) views about dairy as an industry; and (3) views on dairy products. Support for dairy was mainly communicated through participants’ love of dairy products, whilst opposition to dairy largely centered on participants’ ethical concerns about farming practices. Some participants were conflicted in their relationship with dairy, struggling to balance their love of the products and their concerns about farming practices. In contrast, participants who conveyed that they had ‘broken up’ with the dairy industry described an unfailing commitment to their decision. Our findings demonstrate the key role of people’s core values in their relationship with dairy. Efforts to identify and address areas of concern that lead to values misalignment with the public may aid in maintaining the social sustainability of the dairy industry into the future.
MAS-Bench: a benchmarking for parameter calibration of multi-agent crowd simulation

Published: July 2024

AbstractMulti-agent simulation (MAS) has attracted significant attention for the prevention of pedestrian accidents and the spread of infectious diseases caused by overcrowding in recent years. In the MAS paradigm, each pedestrian is represented by a single agent. Control parameters for each agent need to be calibrated based on pedestrian traffic data to reproduce phenomena of interest accurately. Furthermore, observing all pedestrian traffic at large-scale events such as festivals and sports games is difficult. In such cases, parameter optimization is essential so that the appropriate parameters can be determined by solving an error minimization problem between the simulation results and incomplete observed pedestrian traffic data. We propose a benchmark problem, namely MAS-Bench, to discuss the performance of MAS parameter calibration methods uniformly. Numerical experiments demonstrate the baseline performance of four well-known optimization methods on six different error minimization problems that are defined on MAS-Bench. Moreover, we investigate the validity of the error function in the calibration by evaluating the correlation between the calibration and estimation scores. These scores are error functions relating to the available and unavailable observations, respectively.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the phytochemical constituents, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant effects of successive extracts of Ziziphora capitata L. aerial parts. UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS identified 79 phytoconstituents, including phenolic acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, as major phytoconstituents. Additionally, primary phytochemical investigations revealed the presence of terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins in various plant fractions. The MICs of successive extracts were tested against a range of microorganisms, including gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutants, Enterococcus faecalis, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Enterobacter cloacae), fungi (Aspergillus niger and Penicillium aurantiogriseum), and yeast (Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis), using the disk diffusion technique. The ethyl acetate and 95% ethanol extracts exhibited significant antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms; however, the hexane fraction affected only P. aeruginosa. The effects of the CHCl3 and H2O fractions varied in their activities against most of the bacteria examined. Additionally, the AcOEt and 95% EtOH extracts exhibited significant antioxidant activity with IC50 = 18.6 ± 0.97 and 30.4 ± 1.86 µg/mL, respectively, compared to that of ascorbic acid (IC50 = 10.6 ± 0.8 µg/mL, reference drug). Antibacterial and antioxidant activities can be attributed to phytoconstituents, which were identified using UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Furthermore, docking simulations of the top ten phytochemicals of the 70% methanolic extract were carried out inside the active site of S. aureus DNA gyrase (PDB: 2XCT) and dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) from S. pneumoniae (PDB: 2VEG) as bacterial targets and these compounds exhibited good binding modes with different types of interactions.
