Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Depressive Erkrankungen stellen sehr häufige Beratungsanlässe in der Hausarztpraxis dar. Aktuelle evidenzbasierte Leitlinien für Diagnostik und Therapie von unipolarer Depression unterstützen Hausärzt*Innen bei der Behandlung der Patient*Innen.

Ziele der Arbeit
Die Nationalen Versorgungsleitlinie (NVL) Unipolare Depression in der Neufassung von 2022 beinhaltet einige Neuerungen mit großer Relevanz für die hausärztliche Praxis.

Material und Methoden
Vergleich der NVL Unipolare Depression in den Fassungen von 2022 und 2015 mit Fokus auf der hausärztlichen Praxis.

Ergebnisse
Die Neufassung der NVL greift aktuelle wissenschaftliche Entwicklungen auf und berät zu neuen Medikamenten wie Esketamin und zunehmend relevanten Behandlungsstrategien wie internet- und mobilbasierte Interventionen (IMI). Insbesondere werden die Bereiche der Funktionsfähigkeit und Teilhabe in ihrer Bedeutung für Diagnostik und Behandlung hervorgehoben. Im Gegensatz zur Vorgängerversion der NVL Unipolare Depression wird hinsichtlich des „watchful waiting“ als Therapiealternative von einer Empfehlung abgesehen.
Die Neufassung der NVL misst der partizipativen Entscheidungsfindung im Sinne des „shared decision making“ und Angehörigenarbeit einen hohen Stellenwert bei.

Diskussion
Die Neufassung der NVL betont die Bedeutung der hausärztlichen Versorgung bei unipolarer Depression. Allerdings geht auch die aktuelle NVL nicht näher auf das ob und wie der Leitlinienimplementierung in die klinische Praxis ein, wenngleich sie deren Bedeutung im Vorwort betont. Eine engmaschige Zusammenarbeit zwischen Anwender*innen und Leitliniengruppe erscheint besonders bedeutsam, wenn es darum geht, evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen in die Praxis umzusetzen.
Index of active participation in society
Authors: Chakrabartty Satyendra 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe concept of Active citizenship is gaining importance. Ignoring the issues of selection of dimensions and items, the paper addresses methodological issues and aggregation of indicators of multidimensional active participation index (PI) by two methods. Policy makers and researchers can take advantages of the proposed methods of arithmetic aggregation (Method-1) with normally distributed transformed scores or multiplicative aggregation (Method-2) without scaling and choosing weights. Thus, the Method-2 avoids the problems of rank robustness specific to selection of weights. Multiplicative aggregation proposed in Method-2 can be converted to additive model by taking logarithms. Normal distributions of two or more groups by Method-1 are likely to give rise to lower value of Ginis coefficient indicating equality. Avoiding major limitations of ordinal scores, both methods satisfy desired properties, analysis under parametric set up for meaningful comparisons including testing of statistical hypothesis, identification of critical dimensions, ranking of the dimensions by elasticity, assessment of progress/decline of PI, etc. Method-2 offers more generalized approach satisfying time reversal test and formation of chain indices. However, test of normality is required for this method unlike the Method-1 which ensures normally distributed scores.

AbstractWell-being is a multifaceted construct that is used across disciplines to portray a state of wellness, health, and happiness. While aspects of well-being seem universal, how it is depicted in the literature has substantial variation. The aim of this scoping review was to identify conceptual and operational definitions of well-being within the field of occupational health. Broad search terms were used related to well-being and scale/assessment. Inclusion criteria were (1) peer-reviewed articles, (2) published in English, (3) included a measure of well-being in the methods and results section of the article, and (4) empirical paper. The searches resulted in 4394 articles, 3733 articles were excluded by reading the abstract, 661 articles received a full review, and 273 articles were excluded after a full review, leaving 388 articles that met our inclusion criteria and were used to extract well-being assessment information. Many studies did not define well-being or link their conceptual definition to the operational assessment tool being used. There were 158 assessments of well-being represented across studies. Results highlight the lack of a consistent definitions of well-being and standardized measurements.
On the ergodicity of unitary frame flows on Kähler manifolds
Authors: CEKIĆ MIHAJLO , LEFEUVRE THIBAULT , MOROIANU ANDREI , SEMMELMANN UWE 
Published: October 2023

AbstractLet
$(M,g,J)$
be a closed Kähler manifold with negative sectional curvature and complex dimension
$m := \dim _{\mathbb {C}} M \geq 2$
. In this article, we study the unitary frame flow, that is, the restriction of the frame flow to the principal
$\mathrm {U}(m)$
-bundle
$F_{\mathbb {C}}M$
of unitary frames. We show that if
$m \geq 6$
is even and
$m \neq 28$
, there exists
$\unicode{x3bb} (m) \in (0, 1)$
such that if
$(M, g)$
has negative
$\unicode{x3bb} (m)$
-pinched holomorphic sectional curvature, then the unitary frame flow is ergodic and mixing. The constants
$\unicode{x3bb} (m)$
satisfy
$\unicode{x3bb} (6) = 0.9330...$
,
$\lim _{m \to +\infty } \unicode{x3bb} (m) = {11}/{12} = 0.9166...$
, and
$m \mapsto \unicode{x3bb} (m)$
is decreasing. This extends to the even-dimensional case the results of Brin and Gromov [On the ergodicity of frame flows. Invent. Math.60(1) (1980), 1–7] who proved ergodicity of the unitary frame flow on negatively curved compact Kähler manifolds of odd complex dimension.
ADAM SMITH AND THE NEO-LIBERAL PARADIGM: ON THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF TRUST, AND REBALANCING CAPITAL
Authors: MacDonald Ronald 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe key aim of this article is to reassess the societal consequences of the adoption of neo-liberal policies, post-1970, in the light of the writings of Adam Smith. We make two main points: First, the neo-liberal paradigm (NLP) and its characteristics are not the creation of Adam Smith as asserted by leading economists and, indeed, the contrary is very much the case. Second, given this, what does Adam Smith’s work tell us about how we can fix modern-day capitalism broken by the NLP and bring it back in line with Smith’s work?
Association between soya food consumption and muscle strength in Chinese adolescents: evidence from a cross-sectional study
Authors: Yang Junmin , Liu Lixin , Wang Yan , Cai Ruibao 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThere is a strong association between soya food consumption and health, but there are few studies on the association with muscular strength, especially in adolescent groups. This study was conducted to understand the status of soya food consumption and its association with muscular strength among secondary school students in southern China. A stratified whole-group sampling method was used to investigate and test the status of soya food consumption and muscular strength of 13 220 secondary school students in southern China. Linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyse the correlations between soya food consumption and muscular strength. Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with secondary school students with soya food consumption ≥ 3 times/week, male students with soya food consumption ≤ 1 time/week (OR = 1·896, 95 % CI: 1·597,2·251) and female students with soya food consumption ≤ 1 time/week (OR = 2·877, 95 % CI: 2·399, 3·449) students had a higher risk of developing lower grip strength (P < 0·001). The frequency of soya food consumption among secondary school students in southern China was 49·00 %, 28·77 % and 22·23 % for ≥ 3 times/week, 2–3 times/week and ≤ 1 time/week, respectively. There is a positive association between soya food consumption and muscle strength among secondary school students in southern China. In the future, increasing the consumption of soybean products can be considered for the improvement of muscle strength.
An evaluation of parameters which affect dairy herd movement on Irish pasture-based farms
Authors: Maher Paul James , Murphy Michael D. , Egan Michael , Tuohy Patrick 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn pasture-based grazing systems, farm roadways are a pivotal link to connect paddocks on the grazing platform to the milking parlour. However, their effectiveness in the efficient movement of the dairy herd between the grazing paddocks and the milking parlour has yet to be fully quantified. A validation experiment was conducted on a research farm to analyse characteristics on farm roadways that may affect cow throughput, which was observed as the number of cows per minute (CPM) passing a specified location. Roadway width (R2 = 0.96) and surface condition score (SC) (R2 = 0.78, respectively) were both positively associated with CPM. Public road crossings imposed a 32.7% reduction in CPM in this study. CPM increased from 12.4 CPM on a one-metre-wide roadway with a SC of Index 1 to 107.6 CPM on a five-metre roadway with a SC of Index 5. This exercise allowed for CPM on commercial farms to be predicted. Farm roadways were examined across 55 Irish dairy farms. Greater roadway width, reduced verge width and greater water run-off were each associated with higher SC on commercial farms. Larger herd sizes had a lower CPM relative to herd size in contrast to smaller herd sizes, resulting in a significantly longer total time to move the dairy herd through any specific point on the farm roadway network. The findings from this study have quantified the parameters which affect both CPM on commercial farm roadways and parameters which may be associated with SC on commercial farm roadways.

AbstractPeople with bipolar disorder (BD) often present emotion dysregulation (ED), a pattern of emotional expression interfering with goal-directed behavior. ED is a transdiagnostic construct, and it is unclear whether it manifests itself similarly in other conditions, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) or borderline personality disorder (BPD), or has specific features in BD. The present systematic review and meta-analysis explored ED and adopted emotion regulation (ER) strategies in BD compared with other psychiatric conditions. PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases were systematically searched from inception to April 28th, 2022. Studies implementing validated instruments assessing ED or ER strategies in BD and other psychiatric disorders were reviewed, and meta-analyses were conducted. Twenty-nine studies yielding multiple comparisons were included. BD was compared to MDD in 20 studies (n = 2451), to BPD in six studies (n = 1001), to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in three studies (n = 232), to anxiety disorders in two studies (n = 320), to schizophrenia in one study (n = 223), and to post-traumatic stress disorder in one study (n = 31). BD patients did not differ from MDD patients in adopting most adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies. However, small-to-moderate differences in positive rumination and risk-taking behaviors were observed. In contrast, patients with BPD presented an overall higher degree of ED and more maladaptive ER strategies. There were insufficient data for a meta-analytic comparison with other psychiatric disorders. The present report further supports the idea that ED is a transdiagnostic construct spanning a continuum across different psychiatric disorders, outlining specific clinical features that could represent potential therapeutic targets.

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe post-COVID-19 condition describes the persistence or onset of somatic symptoms (e.g. fatigue) after acute COVID-19. Based on an existing cognitive-behavioral treatment protocol, we developed a specialized group intervention for individuals with post-COVID-19 condition. The present study examines the feasibility, acceptance, and effectiveness of the program for inpatients in a neurological rehabilitation setting.MethodsThe treatment program comprises eight sessions and includes psychoeducational and experience-based interventions on common psychophysiological mechanisms of persistent somatic symptoms. A feasibility trial was conducted using a one-group design in a naturalistic setting. N = 64 inpatients with a history of mild COVID-19 that fulfilled WHO criteria for post-COVID-19 condition were enrolled. After each session, evaluation forms were completed and psychometric questionnaires on somatic and psychopathological symptom burden were collected pre- and post-intervention.ResultsThe treatment program was well received by participants and therapists. Each session was rated as comprehensible and overall satisfaction with the sessions was high. Pre-post effect sizes (of standard rehabilitation incl. new treatment program; intention-to-treat) showed significantly reduced subjective fatigue (p < 0.05, dav = 0.33) and improved disease coping (ps < 0.05, dav = 0.33–0.49).ConclusionsOur results support the feasibility and acceptance of the newly developed cognitive-behavioral group intervention for individuals with post-COVID-19 condition. Yet, findings have to be interpreted cautiously due to the lack of a control group and follow-up measurement, the small sample size, and a relatively high drop-out rate.
A British Labor Settlement Experiment and the Socioeconomic Experience of the Chuah Tamil Settlement in British Malaya
Authors: Ranie Thivya , Sundara Raja Sivachandralingam 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWe explore the socioeconomic experience of a group of south Indian Tamil laborers and their families who established the Chuah Tamil agricultural settlement in British Malaya during the Great Depression. These were laborers who, though unemployed, refused to be repatriated to south India. Progressing from subsistence farming to small-scale agricultural production, their settlement evolved into an organized, socioeconomic system. It was also a critical field experiment for the British to assess the viability of a self-generating labor pool. In this article, we examine the social history of the settlers and the development of the Chuah Tamil colony within the context of Britain's overarching desire to create a labor source. Our study contributes to the reconciliation of microsocial history and colonialism, as well as to global labor history more broadly, by situating the settlers’ experience and the settlement itself in relation to historical contemporaries.
Design and stability analysis of semi-implicit cascaded proportional-derivative controller for underactuated cart-pole inverted pendulum system
Authors: Lei Changyi , Li Ruobing , Zhu Quanmin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article proposes a control method for underactuated cartpole systems using semi-implicit cascaded proportional-derivative (PD) controller. The proposed controller is composed of two conventional PD controllers, which stabilizes the pole and the cart second-order dynamics respectively. The first PD controller is realized by transforming the pole dynamics into a virtual PD controller, with the coupling term exploited as the internal tracking target for the cart dynamics. Then, the second PD controller manipulates the cart dynamics to track that internal target. The solution to the internal tracking target relies on an equation set and features a semi-implicit process, which exploits the internal dynamics of the system. Besides, the design of second PD controller relies on the parameters of the first PD controller in a cascaded manner. A stability analysis approach based on Jacobian matrix is proposed and implemented for this fourth-order system. The proposed method is simple in design and intuitive to comprehend. The simulation results illustrate the superiority of proposed method compared with conventional double-loop PD controller in terms of convergence, with the theoretical conclusion of at least locally asymptotic stability.
Hard Choices: How Does Injustice Affect the Ethics of Medical Aid in Dying?
Authors: Kious Brent M. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractCritics of medical aid in dying (MAID) often argue that it is impermissible because background social conditions are insufficiently good for some persons who would utilize it. I provide a critical evaluation of this view. I suggest that receiving MAID is a sort of “hard choice,” in that death is prima facie bad for the individual and only promotes that person’s interests in special circumstances. Those raising this objection to MAID are, I argue, concerned primarily about the effects of injustice on hard choices. I show, however, that MAID and other hard choices are not always invalidated by injustice and that what matters is whether the injustice can be remediated given certain constraints. Injustice invalidates a hard choice when it can, reasonably, be remedied in a way that makes a person’s life go better. I consider the implications of this view for law and policy regarding MAID.
Twinning across the Adriatic: history, memory and municipal co-operation between Italy and Yugoslavia during the Cold War
Authors: Klabjan Borut 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe heritage of World War II left an indelible mark on the relations between Italy and Yugoslavia. During the détente period, however, these two countries were able to overcome many historical resentments and established a fruitful co-operation in Cold War Europe. This article questions the engagement on state, regional and municipal levels and analyses the role of twin cities in this multilayered process. With the help of primary sources, we learn how the heritage of World War II played an important role in building new forms of post-war co-operation. In fact, post-war twinning is often the result of shared anti-fascist activities from the war years. However, this is not confined to communist municipalities or ‘red’ regions in Italy on one side, and socialist Yugoslavia on the other, but is a more fluid and flexible practice which involves historical ties, geographical positions, personal capacities and economic needs.

Abstract

Purpose:
To analyse the dosimetric benefit of the hybrid inverse planning optimisation (HIPO) planning method over the graphical optimisation (GrO) planning method for 3D volume-based intravaginal brachytherapy (IVBT) in a mono-centre patient cohort.

Material and methods:
Twenty-five patients surgically staged with endometrial cancer were considered for the study. All the patients had received adjuvant IVBT for three fractions with one-time computed tomography image-based planning. The data on the patient, tumour, plan, and treatment characteristics were retrieved from the database. All the plans were re-optimised with GrO and HIPO techniques for this comparison study. The different dosimetric parameters were compared between the two methods, and the collected data were tabulated and shown graphically. The statistical evaluation was performed with IBM SPSS version 26, and Origin Pro 8.5 was employed for plots.

Results:
HIPO plans show similar target coverage in terms of D 90(%), V 95(%) and conformity index with no significant statistical difference from the GrO plans with an acceptable increase in homogeneity index (0·087 ± 0·062%). It succeeds in achieving a statistically significant reduction of dose to organs at risk such as D0·1 cc, D1·0 cc and D2·0 cc for the bladder (11·59%, 4·8% and 3·99%), rectum (41·33%, 16·9% and 16·05%) and sigmoid (20·97%, 13·53% and 11·21%), respectively, in comparison with GrO optimisation.

Conclusion:
Considering the dosimetric outcome of 3D-based IVBT, it is suggested to adopt inverse optimisation techniques like HIPO over GrO to achieve higher quality treatment plan in terms of adequate target dose and lesser dose to OARs.
The agent, the structure, and space in Japan's foreign relations: rethinking international political dynamics as Aidagara
Authors: Tamaki Taku 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article leverages Watsuji Tetsurō's idea of aidagara – “inter-relationships” – to better appreciate the interpenetration of space and relationships in Japanese foreign policy narratives. I set Watsuji's philosophical framework against Japanese foreign policy narratives referring to various spaces as a case study to emphasizing the interplay of space and relationships in Japanese diplomatic efforts. On the one hand, we see the Japanese government invoking East Asia, the Asia-Pacific, and the Indo-Pacific as spatial descriptors to conceptualize the political dynamics surrounding them. On the other hand, Japan's relations with its interlocutors reify fluid geographical boundaries as spaces relevant for Japan's foreign relations. Thus, Watsuji helps us to rethink international politics as an aidagara in which the space produces political relationships, while political relationships themselves reproduce, or even redefine, space.
A simple analytical approach to calculate the kinetic thermal evaporation parameters of extractable crude oil from shale

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTThe kinetic characteristics of crude oil pyrolysis experiments form the basis for quantitative analysis of shale oil content in Rock-Eval pyrolysis experiments. To study the thermal evaporation kinetics of crude oil in shale, pyrolysis experiments of whole source rock sample and post-extracted sample were carried out on Rock-Eval 6 with the heating rates of 5, 15 and 25°C min−1, respectively. The thermal evaporation of crude oil can be described using a parallel first-order reaction model. A simple method for calculating the kinetic characteristics of the thermal evaporation of extracted crude oil is proposed.
