Published: March 2024

AbstractGas migration behaviour in saturated, compacted bentonite, especially under rigid-boundary conditions, is controversial. Gas breakthrough phenomena, observed under higher pressure gradient conditions in laboratory experiments, are described in literatures by adopting visco-capillary or dilatancy-controlled flow concept. Since, under rigid-boundary conditions, volumetric expansion is restricted and/or water dissipation is not detected, these concepts cannot be implemented satisfactorily. Instead, a diffusion and solubility-controlled (DSC) flow concept was previously found to be adequate for describing the behaviours at lower temperatures (20 °C). The DSC concept describes gas breakthrough as a function of gas solubility. Breakthrough occurs when concentration of dissolved gas reaches or surpasses the solubility limit in the entire specimen. In this work, the DSC flow concept is applied to validate gas migration and breakthrough experiments conducted at higher temperatures, e.g. 40 and 60 °C. Good agreements are observed between the experimental and predicted results, suggesting that the DSC flow concept can be applied to describe gas migration behaviour satisfactorily in rigidly confined saturated bentonites (under constant volume conditions) for various temperature regimes. Results also show that helium dissolution and diffusion processes in saturated bentonite are sensitive to test temperature and pressure conditions. The processes become more stable with increasing gas injection pressure and ambient temperature.
Effectiveness of Malaise trap and sweep net sampling in sawfly research (Hymenoptera: Symphyta)

Published: March 2024

AbstractMalaise traps and sweep nets are commonly used to study sawfly faunas, seasonality and communities. Here we analyse a large dataset obtained with these methods in Slovakia and Hungary over the last two and a half decades. The dataset included collections from twenty-one sites, each covering the entire growing season, eleven of which were obtained with the Malaise trap and ten with the sweep net. We conclude that both methods are suitable for faunistic studies of sawflies (Hymenoptera, Symphyta), although they may lead to certain biased results for some Symphyta groups. Special attention should be paid to Siricidae, Orussidae, Xiphidriidae and Cimbicidae, which were only weakly recorded with both methods. Argidae, Blennocampinae, Dolerinae and Tenthredininae were underrepresented in the Malaise trap samples and Allantinae in the sweep net samples. Both methods gave equally good results in measuring species richness in an one-year study. Ideally, they should be used together as they complement each other well. The net method has a great advantage in determining the exact population density. In contrast, the Malaise trap collections were often heavily dominated by only a few species, with males being preferentially trapped. Use of Malasie trap should be preferred for the study of seasonal flight activity.
Pre-service teachers’ development of digital resource design capacity
Authors: Trgalová Jana , Tabach Michal 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn the current digital age, (mathematics) teachers are provided with a profusion of digital resources. Consequently, research in mathematics education has focused on teachers’ interactions with resources as the heart of their professional activity. The term Pedagogical Design Capacity (PDC) was introduced to designate teacher’s ability to perceive affordances of resources and to make decisions about how to use them efficiently. PDC has been further conceptualized to define teacher design capacity (TDC) as including a goal or points of reference for the design, a set of design principles, and reflection-in-action. This definition is illustrated with case studies involving teachers’ design of digital resources, yet it does not seem to consider the specificities of the latter. We therefore aim to further refine the concept of TDC by considering crucial components that designing technology-based tasks and their enactment in the classroom entail. We ask: What are the unique components of TDC specific to digital technology and resources? We elaborate a framework to suggest dimensions and components of mathematics teacher Digital Resource Design Capacity (DRDC) to emphasize the focus on design of digital resources. This framework is built on previous studies and on the concept of instrumental orchestration, and is refined taking into account findings from two case studies in France and Israel.

Abstract
Introduction
Recent advances in the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC have led to changes in the standard of care for this disease. For the selection of the best approach strategy for each patient, it is necessary the homogenization of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, as well as the promotion of the evaluation of patients by a multidisciplinary oncology team.

Objective
Development of an expert consensus document with suggestions for the approach and treatment of locally advanced NSCLC leaded by Spanish Lung Cancer Group GECP.

Methods
Between March and July 2023, a panel of 28 experts was formed. Using a mixed technique (Delphi/nominal group) under the guidance of a coordinating group, consensus was reached in 4 phases: 1. Literature review and definition of discussion topics 2. First round of voting 3. Communicating the results and second round of voting 4. Definition of conclusions in nominal group meeting. Responses were consolidated using medians and interquartile ranges. The threshold for agreement was defined as 85% of the votes.

Results
New and controversial situations regarding the diagnosis and management of locally advanced NSCLC were analyzed and reconciled based on evidence and clinical experience. Discussion issues included: molecular diagnosis and biomarkers, radiologic and surgical diagnosis, mediastinal staging, role of the multidisciplinary thoracic committee, neoadjuvant treatment indications, evaluation of response to neoadjuvant treatment, postoperative evaluation, and follow-up.

Conclusions
Consensus clinical suggestions were generated on the most relevant scenarios such as diagnosis, staging and treatment of locally advanced lung cancer, which will serve to support decision-making in daily practice.

SummaryCancer stem cells, also known as leukemic stem cells (LSC) in the context of leukemias, are an emerging topic in translational oncology and hematology. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Hematology and Oncology (LBI HO) was established in 2008 with the aim to translate LSC concepts into clinical practice. Major specific aims of the LBI HO are to identify LSC in various blood cell disorders and to improve anti-leukemic therapies by establishing LSC-targeting and LSC-eradicating approaches with the ultimate aim to translate these concepts into clinical practice. In addition, the LBI HO identified a number of diagnostic and prognostic LSC markers in various blood cell malignancies. Members of the LBI HO have also developed precision medicine tools and personalized medicine approaches around LSC in applied hematology. As a result, diagnosis, prognostication and therapy have improved in the past 10 years. Major disease models are myeloid leukemias and mast cell neoplasms. Finally, the LBI HO consortium launched several projects in the field of open innovation in science where patient-derived initiatives and their input supported the scientific community. Key aims for the future of the LBI HO are to develop LSC-related concepts and strategies further, with the long-term vision to cure more patients with hematologic malignancies.
Taxonomy and nomenclature in the widespread and well-known sea anemone Metridium de Blainville, 1824
Authors: Daly Marymegan , Glon Heather , Li Yang 
Published: March 2024

AbstractMetridium senile (Linneaus, 1761) is simultaneously one of the most familiar sea anemones in temperate shallow water and a species embroiled in taxonomic and nomenclatural confusion. Their large body size, characteristic ruff of tentacles, and ability to thrive on artificial and natural substrates make these animals conspicuous and common on rocky ledges, pilings, wharfs, shipwrecks, and bivalve reefs. Their reported range encompasses all temperate habitats in the northern hemisphere plus a handful of locales in the temperate southern hemisphere that have typically been characterized as anthropogenic introductions. Understanding the range of M. senile has been confounded by confusion about its circumscription relative to its congeners and inconsistency in the names used. Here, we summarize the taxonomy of the genus and clarify the status of M. senile. Based on results of recent phylogenetic studies, we consider Metridium to have two valid species: M. farcimen (Brandt, 1835) and M. senile. We recognize M. senile as the valid, appropriate name for all populations of Metridium in the Atlantic and for some of the populations in the Pacific. We consider M. dianthus (Ellis, 1767), M. exile Hand 1955, M. huanghaiense Pei, 1998, and M. sinensis Pei, 1998 to be junior synonyms of M. senile. We clarify the differences between M. senile and M. farcimen, and comment on the status of M. canum Stuckey, 1914.
$${\mathcal {L}}{}_{1}$$ adaptive fault-tolerant control of stratospheric airships

Published: March 2024

AbstractAs the utilization of stratospheric airships becomes more prevalent, ensuring their safe operation becomes crucial. This paper explores the ability of an$${\mathcal {L}}_{1}$$L1adaptive controller to maintain fault tolerance in the actuators of a stratospheric airship.$${\mathcal {L}}_{1}$$L1adaptive control offers fast adaptation while separating adaptation and robustness. This makes the approach a suitable candidate for fault-tolerant control. The performance of the proposed design is compared to the Linear Quadratic Integral and Adaptive Sliding Mode Backstepping controllers. Simulation results show that the robustness of the airship model against faults is improved with the use of the$${\mathcal {L}}{}_{1}$$L1adaptive controller.
A Five-Year Study on Infestation and Abundance of Bat Flies (Hippoboscoidea: Streblidae) Under Severe Dry Season Conditions in the Tropical Dry Forest of Yucatan, Mexico
Authors: Montes de Oca-Aguilar Ana Celia , Ibarra-López Martha Pilar , Ibarra-Cerdeña Carlos N. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn Mexico, few studies have explored how environmental conditions in tropical dry forests (TDF) influence bat fly load even though, according to climate change scenarios, this ecosystem will experience a drier and warmer climate. Such an extension of the dry season in these ecosystems could have dramatic consequences for biodiversity, particularly in regions with plains where animals do not have elevational climate shifts. The present study therefore evaluates the effect of prevailing environmental conditions during 2015–2019, as well as host body conditions, on the infestation and abundance of bat-specific ectoparasites and the composition and bat fly load in the dry season of a TDF in Yucatan. Since Yucatan has an essentially flat and low-lying topography, organisms cannot escape from the predicted extreme conditions with elevational shifts. This region is therefore an excellent location for assessment of the potential effects of warming. We collected 270 bat flies from 12 species. Three streblid species (Nycterophilia parnelli Wenzel, Trichobius johnsonae Wenzel, and Trichobius sparsus Kessel) are new records for Yucatan. Our overview of the dry season bat ectoparasite loads reveals low values of richness and prevalence, but high aggregation. Our models detected significant differences in ectoparasite infestation and abundance over the years, but the environmental and body host condition variables were unrelated to these. We report that pregnant females are parasitized to a greater extent by bat flies during the dry season, which generally represents the season of most significant nutritional stress.
Reduced Desensitization Formulation for Optimal Control Problems
Authors: Jawaharlal Ayyanathan Praveen , Taheri Ehsan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSolutions to nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs) exhibit dispersions under model uncertainties and it is desirable to generate optimal solutions that exhibit less sensitivity to model uncertainties. We propose a novel solution desensitization method dubbed “Reduced Desensitization Formulation (RDF)” by leveraging non-uniqueness of the solution of the costate differential equations when a hybrid indirect-direct optimization method is used. A key property of the RDF method is a significant reduction in the number of differential equations needed for generating desensitized solutions. This feature facilitates the generation of open-loop desensitized trajectories and makes the methodology applicable to OCPs with a larger number of uncertain parameters. To demonstrate the utility of the RDF method, three important classes of trajectory optimization problems are considered with uncertainty in the thrust magnitude of the propulsion system: (1) minimum-fuel low-thrust interplanetary rendezvous maneuvers, (2) low-thrust orbit-raising maneuvers, and (3) minimum-fuel high-thrust rocket-landing problems. For the considered problems with bang-bang control profiles, an analysis is presented on the change in the number of control switches between sensitive and desensitized optimal solutions. Numerical results demonstrate desensitization of the considered performance indices with respect to the thrust magnitude of the propulsion system.
Spacecraft Formation Keeping and Reconfiguration Using Optimal Visual Servoing
Authors: Pomares Jorge , Felicetti Leonard , García Gabriel J. , Ramón José L. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper proposes a direct visual servoing system for spacecraft guidance in formation flying scenarios. The proposed image-based visual servoing system uses image information for planning and executing formation acquisition, reconfiguration, and maintenance maneuvers. The system assumes that LEDs are located at specific points on the satellites, enabling the visual servoing controller to rely on continuous tracking of these features in the camera’s image plane. Analytical developments demonstrate that the proposed optimal visual control system is stable and optimal, and it acts on both the orbital and attitude dynamics of the spacecraft, considering circular and elliptical reference orbits. The distributed image-based controller defines a cost function that minimizes control efforts, and the paper proses an optimal framework for developing controllers that address the issue. A ROS-based simulation tool was used to test the proposed visual servoing controller in a realistic small-sat formation flying scenario. Results indicate that the proposed distributed control strategy is viable and robust against environmental perturbations and disturbances in sensing and actuation.
Uniform Symbolic Topologies and Hypersurfaces
Authors: Huneke Craig , Katz Daniel 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe study the question of which rings, and which families of ideals, have uniform symbolic topologies. In particular, we show that the uniform symbolic topology property holds for all dimension one primes in any normal complete local domain, provided dimension one primes in hypersurfaces have the uniform symbolic topology property. We also discuss bootstrapping techniques and provide a strong bootstrapping statement in positive characteristic. We apply these techniques to give families of primes in hypersurfaces of positive characteristic which have uniform symbolic topologies.
Disaggregating Asian-American Mortality in Drug-Related Overdoses and Behavioral Disorders: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Zhu David T. , Zhong Anthony , Ho Winnie J. , Tamang Suzanne 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAsian Americans have been historically underrepresented in the national drug overdose discourse due to their lower substance use and overdose rates compared to other racial/ethnic groups. However, aggregated analyses fail to capture the vast diversity among Asian-American subgroups, obscuring critical disparities. We conducted a cross-sectional study between 2018 and 2021 examining Asian-American individuals within the CDC WONDER database with drug overdoses as the underlying cause of death (n = 3195; ICD-10 codes X40–X44, X60–X64, X85, and Y10–Y14) or psychoactive substance–related mental and behavioral disorders as one of multiple causes of death (n = 15,513; ICD-10 codes F10–F19). Proportional mortality ratios were calculated, comparing disaggregated Asian-American subgroups to the reference group (Asian Americans as a single aggregate group). Z-tests identified significant differences between subgroups. Compared to the reference group (0.99%), drug overdose deaths were less prevalent among Japanese (0.46%; p < 0.001), Chinese (0.47%; p < 0.001), and Filipino (0.82%; p < 0.001) subgroups, contrasting with a higher prevalence among Asian Indian (1.20%; p < 0.001), Vietnamese (1.35%; p < 0.001), Korean (1.36%; p < 0.001), and other Asian (1.79%; p < 0.001) subgroups. Similarly, compared to the reference group (4.80%), deaths from mental and behavioral disorders were less prevalent among Chinese (3.18%; p < 0.001), Filipino (4.52%; p < 0.001), and Asian Indian (4.56%; p < 0.001) subgroups, while more prevalent among Korean (5.60%; p < 0.001), Vietnamese (5.64%; p < 0.001), Japanese (5.81%; p < 0.001), and other Asian (6.14%; p < 0.001) subgroups. Disaggregated data also revealed substantial geographical variations in these deaths obscured by aggregated analyses. Our findings revealed pronounced intra-racial disparities, underscoring the importance of data disaggregation to inform targeted clinical and public health interventions.
Comparison of blood volume biofeedback hemodialysis and conventional hemodialysis on cardiovascular stability and blood pressure control in hemodialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Mambelli Emanuele , Grandi Fabio , Santoro Antonio 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Background
Despite the improvements in hemodialysis (HD) technology, 20–30% of sessions are still complicated by hypotension or hypotension-related symptoms. Biofeedback systems have proven to reduce the occurrence of such events, but no conclusive findings can lead to wider adoption of these systems. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to establish whether the use of blood volume tracking systems compared to conventional hemodialysis (C-HD) reduces the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension.

Methods
The PRISMA guidelines were used to carry out this systematic review. Randomized clinical trials that evaluated the incidence of intradialytic hypotension during C-HD and blood volume tracking-HD were searched in the current literature. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023426328.

Results
Ninety-seven randomized clinical trials were retrieved. Nine studies, including 347 participants and 13,274 HD treatments were considered eligible for this systematic review. The results showed that the use of biofeedback systems reduces the risk of intradialytic hypotension (log odds ratio = 0.63, p = 0.03) in hypotension-prone patients (log odds ratio = 0.54, p = 0.04). When analysis was limited to fluid overloaded or hypertensive patients, it did not show the same effect (log odds ratio = 0.79, p = 0.38). No correlation was found in systolic blood pressure drop during dialysis and in post-dialysis blood pressure.

Conclusions
The use of blood volume tracking systems may be effective in reducing the incidence of intradialytic hypotension and allowing for easier attainment of the patients’ ideal dry body weight. New studies to examine the long-term effects of the use of blood volume tracking systems on real hard endpoints are needed.

Implementing trauma-informed care practices in the workplace: a descriptive phenomenological study
Authors: Greer Jesse A. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe effects of trauma are becoming more prevalent in the clinical setting, which has helped generate conversations about being more trauma-informed and providing trauma-informed care services. The principles centered around trauma-informed care could be applied to a person’s everyday life, including the work setting with the goal of creating a more trauma-informed environment for all employees. This qualitative descriptive phenomenological study aimed to investigate what trauma-informed care principles are needed in the workplace from the employee perspective to create a more trauma-informed environment. The survey instrument used in this study was a modified version of Fallot and Harris’s (2011) consumer satisfaction survey in their published article Creating Cultures of Trauma-Informed Care: A Self-Assessment and Planning Protocol. The instrument contained 13 questions, with each core question having an optional secondary question requesting additional details about the participants’ responses. The tool was categorized into four sections: safety, trustworthiness, choice and collaboration, and empowerment. Ninety participants accessed the survey through SurveyMonkey Audience, but four did not meet the criteria to participate and exited the study. The researcher was left with 86 completed surveys. The qualitative analytical tool Quirkos was employed to help analyze the data and generate themes. The category that produced the most themes was empowerment. Employees want to be viewed as a person rather than a resource to get the job done. Likewise, participants wanted to be valued and have their voices heard. To push this conversation forward, future researchers should conduct interviews face-to-face to produce more in-depth findings.
