The experience of bereaved cancer carers in rural and regional areas: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential of peer support
Authors: Winter Natalie , McKenzie Kerry , Spence Danielle , Lane Katherine , Ugalde Anna 
Published: November 2023

Background
Caring for someone with cancer during end of life care can be a challenging and complex experience. Those living in rural and regional areas are less likely to have local healthcare services and may be physically isolated. Even where support services such as respite do exist, they may be less likely to be accessed due to the time burden in travelling to services. This was compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim
To understand the potential benefits of peer support for bereaved carers of people with cancer from rural and regional locations during the COVID-19 period.

Methods
Phone interviews were conducted with bereaved cancer carers living in rural and regional areas in Victoria. Semi-structured interviews were used, and participants were asked about their experience as a carer, bereavement and the potential for peer support. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim; transcripts were coded and a thematic analysis was conducted.

Findings
12 interviews were conducted. Carers were mostly female (85%) and were on average 58 years of age (range 42–71). Interviews lasted an average of 58 minutes (range 53–91 minutes). Three themes were derived from the data; 1) Supportive care needs while caring and the impact of COVID-19; 2) Isolation during bereavement compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic; and 3) Peer support requires flexibility to meet diverse needs.

Conclusion
Peer support has potential to assist bereaved carers of people with cancer. A co-design approach may be beneficial for developing a flexible model for supporting and linking carers together.

Published: November 2023

Background
Clinical utility of routinely measured serial biomarkers in predicting escalation of inpatient care intensity and mortality among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 remains unknown.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study included patients with COVID-19 who admitted to the Massachusetts General Hospital between March and June 2020 and January to March 2021. White blood cell (WBC) count, platelet count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer values were measured on days 1, 3, and 7 of admission. Clinical outcomes include 30- and 60-day morality, ICU transfer, and overall survival (OS) over a follow-up period of 90 days. The association between serial biomarkers and outcomes were assessed using multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models.

Measurements and main results
Of the 456 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, 199 (43.6%) were ICU, 179 (39.3%) were medical floor, and 78 (17.1%) were initially admitted to the medical floor and then transferred to the ICU. In adjusted analyses, each unit increase in the slope of CRP was associated with a 42% higher odds of ICU transfer after controlling for the initial admission level (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.25–1.65, P < 0.001). Including serial change in CRP levels from initial level on admission achieved the greatest predictive accuracy for ICU transfer (AUC = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.64–0.79).

Conclusions
Serial change in CRP levels from admission is associated with escalations of inpatient care intensity and mortality among hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

Crypthecodinium cohnii strains can accumulate significant amounts of lipids with a high fraction of docosahexaenoic acid that is used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. In this study, macroalgal hydrolysate was used as a low-cost carbon source for the growth of the oleaginous strain Crypthecodinium sp. AL–05 to reduce the cost of its growth and lipid production. The Saudi strain was placed in the genus Crypthecodinium with high statistical support based on the sequences of three concatenated genes (SSU, ITS, and LSU rDNA). Crypthecodinium sp. AL-05 was grown on four different glucose concentrations and three different macroalgal hydrolysate concentrations: 20, 40, and 80 g  l−1. We also used the same concentrations of macroalgal hydrolysate with 10 g  l−1 of four carbon sources: acetic acid, glycerol, glucose, and sugarcane molasses. Glucose (40 g  l−1) gave the best results, followed by 80 g  l−1 macroalgae alone and with glucose or molasses. One-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni correction post-hoc test showed that the dry weight of Crypthecodinium sp. AL–05 produced using the following carbon sources: the four concentrations of the pure glucose, 80 g  l−1 macroalgae alone, 40 and 80 g  l−1 macroalgae + glucose, 40 and 80 g  l1 macroalgae + molasses were significantly higher than the other 10 carbon sources tested. Three carbon sources (20 g  l−1 macroalgae with glucose, molasses and acetic acid) produced percentages of lipids that were significantly lower than the other 16 carbon sources. For the first time, our research shows that the dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium AL–05 can be successfully grown on macroalgal hydrolysate, which can be used in industrial processes. Importantly, Crypthecodinium sp. AL–05 grown on 80 g  l−1 macroalgae produced only saturated fatty acids, of which caprylic acid represented 43.45 % of the total fatty acids. Caprylic acid is widely used in industry and pharmaceuticals and the Saudi isolate can be used for its commercial production using macroalgae as a carbon source.
Analysis of errors in Mandarin disyllabic tones produced by Vietnamese speakers
Authors: Tu Jung-Yueh 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the tone production of Mandarin disyllabic words by Vietnamese speakers. It aims to provide insights into the challenges Vietnamese speakers face when producing Mandarin tones in disyllabic words. In the study, there were 30 Vietnamese L2 learners of Mandarin, who were requested to produce 80 (4 tones × 4 tones × 5 words of each tonal combination) disyllabic words in Mandarin. The overall results showed that Tone 4 was the most difficult among the four lexical tones. In the first syllable, most errors were found for Tone 3 when followed by another Tone 3 (where the first Tone 3 should be pronounced as a rising tone, similar to Tone 2, but mispronounced as Tone 3), which indicated that Vietnamese speakers tend to underapply Mandarin third tone sandhi. In the second syllable, most errors were found for Tone 4 when preceded by Tone 4 (the second Tone 4 mispronounced as Tone 1). The findings can help explore how L2 production models can account for L2 production of Mandarin tones by considering effects of phonetic/phonological nature of Mandarin lexical tones as well as the interference arising from the L1 phonology of learners.
Analysis of different combinations of gravity data types in gravimetric geoid determination over Bali

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Following the Regulation of the Head of the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) No. 13 of 2021, geoid is used as the Vertical Geospatial Reference System in Indonesia. Applications using the geoid as an ideal reference require a much higher accuracy and resolution than the geoid obtained from models derived solely from satellite data. The Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency considers the geoid ideal if it has reached an accuracy of better than 15 cm. Recent studies have combined satellite and other gravimetric data to produce a combined geoid model with increased resolution. Gravimetric data obtained from measurements close to the Earth’s surface, such as airborne and terrestrial gravity data, are particularly attractive because the high-frequency portion of the signal is more apparent and can contribute to the medium to high frequencies of the gravity field. This study models the geoid over Bali Island by combining satellite, airborne and terrestrial gravity data. Calculations were performed using Least Square Collocation (LSC) and Remove-Compute-Restore (RCR) techniques. The gravimetric geoid model was tested against the geometric geoid profile calculated from a GNSS/Levelling survey. The geoid, calculated by combining the GOCO06S satellite gravity model, the GGMplus gravity model and airborne gravity data at an average flight altitude of 4100 m produces a standard deviation of 14.46 cm along the 125 km validation path. After also adding terrestrial gravity data, the standard deviation increased to 16.37 cm. By comparison, the results of the validation of the geoid model from GOCO06S and INAGEOIDV2 with geometric geoids have standard deviation values of 79.56 cm and 16.40 cm, respectively. However, the results of the statistical tests are strongly influenced by the data quality used as validation, in this case, GNSS/Levelling. It is shown that the GNSS/Levelling data over Bali contains significant errors, which have been reduced based on an analysis of geometric vertical deflections. A geometric geoid profile with higher accuracy is required to test the accuracy of the gravimetric geoid models more reliably.
Model-based regression adjustment with model-free covariates for network interference
Authors: Han Kevin , Ugander Johan 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWhen estimating a global average treatment effect (GATE) under network interference, units can have widely different relationships to the treatment depending on a combination of the structure of their network neighborhood, the structure of the interference mechanism, and how the treatment was distributed in their neighborhood. In this work, we introduce a sequential procedure to generate and select graph- and treatment-based covariates for GATE estimation under regression adjustment. We show that it is possible to simultaneously achieve low bias and considerably reduce variance with such a procedure. To tackle inferential complications caused by our feature generation and selection process, we introduce a way to construct confidence intervals based on a block bootstrap. We illustrate that our selection procedure and subsequent estimator can achieve good performance in terms of root-mean-square error in several semi-synthetic experiments with Bernoulli designs, comparing favorably to an oracle estimator that takes advantage of regression adjustments for the known underlying interference structure. We apply our method to a real-world experimental dataset with strong evidence of interference and demonstrate that it can estimate the GATE reasonably well without knowing the interference processa priori.
Optimization strategy for SAM in nuclear power plants based on NSGA-II

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Severe Accident Management Guide (SAMG) is an important component of nuclear safety regulations. Many studies are being conducted to optimize severe accident management (SAM) strategies. To ensure the safety of nuclear power plants, decision makers need to monitor multiple parameters with security threats. Therefore, it is particularly important to search optimal SAM strategies under different numbers of mitigation targets. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is an evolutionary algorithm that does not require derivative differentiation and is capable of population search. In this study, a nuclear power plant accident optimization strategy is developed using the Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) in conjunction with NSGA-II. The strategy enables decision makers to consider multiple mitigation objectives in a complex decision environment. Focusing on the CPR1000, this study applies the optimization strategy to automatically search for optimal mitigation strategies for small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) and station blackout hot leg creep rupture accidents (SBOHLCR). Comparing the optimization results with the basic accident sequence, it is found that the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure time is delayed from 72,702 s to 128,730 s under SBLOCA and from 23,828 s to 28,363 s under SBOHLCR. This study has also verified that the optimal SAM strategy obtained by the strategy through dual objective optimization has better mitigation effects than a strategy that only considers one objective. This optimization strategy has the potential to be applied to other types of severe accident management studies in the future.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper prepared the composite aerogel by adding graphene oxide (GO) and polypyrrole (PPy) to the cellulose nanofiber suspension. Then GO was reduced to RGO (reduced graphene oxide) with reducing agent, and CNFs/RGO/PPy composite aerogel with excellent conductivity was prepared. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was adopted to analyze the structure and morphology of CNFs/RGO/PPy aerogel. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to analyze its electrochemical properties. The results showed that the best structure and electrochemical effect could be obtained when the ratio of CNFs/RGO/PPy was 6:2:3. At the current density of 0.25 mA cm−2, CNFs/RGO/PPy composite aerogel had higher electrochemical performance, and the specific capacitance was 330 F g−1. As an energy storage material, the composite has excellent potential in electrode materials.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this article, the archaeological and archaeometrical study of several roof tiles and bricks retrieved at the Etruscan Domus dei Dolia is presented. The Domus is located in Etrusco-Roman neighbourhood (Hellenistic – Late Republican periods, third–first centuries BC) of the ancient city of Vetulonia (central Italy), in the area of Poggiarello Renzetti. The main goals were to establish the characteristics of the raw material/s used in their production, the possible provenance, the technology applied, and to get insight regarding the production organization and the local economy. The archaeological materials were analysed by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Principal component analysis was also applied to evaluate/interpret chemical data. Results evidenced that roof tiles and bricks were produced using a different technology and raw materials. Roof tiles were possibly manufactured within 12 km from the archaeological site and imported into the town, exploiting two different raw materials. Conversely, bricks were likely produced very close to the archaeological site. So, it is supposed that raw materials were selected considering factors such as distance, abundance, and accessibility to natural resources and security.

Abstract
The swimming of motile gyrotactic microorganism’s phenomenon has recently become one of the most important topics in research due to its applicability in biotechnology, many biological systems, and numerous engineering fields. The gyrotactic microorganisms improve the stability of the nanofluids and enhance the mass/heat transmission. This research investigates the MHD fluid flow of a dissipative Sisko nanofluid containing microorganisms moving along an exponentially stretched sheet in the current framework. The mathematical model comprises equations that encompass the preservation of mass, momentum, energy, nanoparticle concentration, and microorganisms. The equations that govern are more complicated because of nonlinearity, and therefore to obtain the combination of ordinary differential equations, similarity transformations are utilized. The numerical results for the converted mathematical model are carried out with the help of the bvp4c solver. The resulting findings are compared to other studies that have already been published, and a high level of precision is found. The graphical explanations for velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction distribution are shown with physical importance. Physical characteristics like Peclet number, Sisko fluid parameter, thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameter, and Hartmann number are taken into consideration for their effects. Based on the numerical outcomes, the bioconvection Peclet number enhances the density of mobile microorganisms, whereas thermal radiation contributes to an elevation in temperature. The velocity field decreases with the enhancement of magnetic parameter; however, the temperature field increases with increased magnetic parameter and thermophoresis parameter augmentation. Our numerical findings are ground breaking and distinctive, and they are used in microfluidic devices including micro instruments, sleeve electrodes, and nerve development electrodes. This study has various applications in nanoengineering, including nanomaterial synthesis, drug delivery systems, bioengineering, nanoscale heat transfer, environmental engineering.
Justice must be seen to be done: a multimodal attitude analysis of attorneys’ closing arguments
Authors: Yuan Chuanyou , Cao Huishu 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Multimodal discourse analysis offers a novel lens for the study of legal discourse. Within the closing arguments of a trial, prosecution and defense attorneys utilize various multimodal resources to present evidence, articulate opinions, and adopt stances to achieve their communicative goals. This research focuses on the closing arguments in the criminal trial concerning the death of George Floyd to analyze the multimodal representation of the closing arguments delivered by both prosecution and defense attorneys. It employs the analytical framework of the attitude system and paralinguistic typology proposed by Martin and colleagues, and uses the UAM Corpus Tool and Praat to qualitatively annotate and quantify the linguistic and paralinguistic information. The findings reveal that these attorneys employ different multimodal resources, including language and paralanguage, to convey their attitudes towards the case’s participants. This leads to the construction of competing narratives, shedding light on how justice is seen to be done.
Unpublished Administrative Ostraca from Gurna
Authors: Ewais Marwa Ahmed , Eissa Maher Ahmed 
Published: November 2023

Summary
The present paper deals with some hieratic ostraca from Gurna, stored in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo (NMEC). These ostraca are written on one side only, with black ink. They were found during the excavations led by Edda Bresciani in the 1970s from Thutmose IV’s temple at Gurna together with other ostraca written in different scripts: Demotic, Greek, and Coptic. The ostraca are administrative, and their topics are various. According to the content, as well as the paleography of script, these ostraca probably date to the 18th Dynasty and the Ramesside period. O. NMEC No. 409 and O. NMEC No. 339 probably date to the 18th Dynasty while O. NMEC No. 406, O. NMEC No. 342, and O. NMEC No. 449 are dated to the Ramesside period.
Demotic Papyrus Hamburg 39 (inv. no. 35.2806): A New Religious Text from Roman Egypt
Authors: La’da Csaba 
Published: November 2023

Summary
This article offers the first edition of a Demotic papyrus fragment of early Roman date and of uncertain, probably Fayumic, provenance in the collection of the Hamburg State and University Library Carl von Ossietzky. The fragment preserves parts of two columns of a hitherto unattested enigmatic religious work, for which mostly only distant and short parallels can be found in the evidence currently available to us in any of the Egyptian languages and scripts used in the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. The only relatively close parallel that we are aware of is a slightly modified form of a sentence that occurs in the composition known as ‘The Great Decree Issued to the Nome of the Silent Land’. The vocabulary and the meagre parallels suggest that we may be catching a glimpse of a previously unknown work of Osirian religious literature. This article provides a general introduction, a transcription and translation of the text, as well as a commentary.
