AbstractAntarctica is one of Earth's most untouched, inhospitable, and poorly known regions. Although knowledge of its biodiversity has increased over recent decades, a diverse, wide‐ranging, and spatially explicit compilation of the biodiversity that inhabits Antarctica's permanently ice‐free areas is unavailable. This absence hinders both Antarctic biodiversity research and the integration of Antarctica in global biodiversity–related studies. Fundamental and applied research on biodiversity patterns, ecological structure and function, and options for conservation are reliant on spatially resolved, taxonomically consistent observations. Such information is especially important for modern, data‐driven biodiversity science, in both Antarctica and globally, and forms the backbone of biodiversity informatics, reflected, for example, in the Darwin Core Standard used by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Biodiversity data are also essential to fulfill the conservation requirements for Antarctica, as set out in the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty and inform the design of systematic surveys to address biodiversity and ecological knowledge gaps, for both specific taxa and ecosystems. Such surveys are key requirements for understanding and mitigating the impacts of environmental change on the region's biodiversity. Here, we address these requirements through the public release of The Biodiversity of Ice‐free Antarctica Database. In 2008, we extracted a subset of biodiversity records only from terrestrial ice‐free areas from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Antarctic Biodiversity Database. We have subsequently added thousands of records from a range of sources: checking, and where necessary (and possible), correcting the spatial location, clarifying, cross‐referencing, and harmonizing taxonomy with globally recognized sources, and documenting the original source of records. The Biodiversity of Ice‐free Antarctica Database spans the early 1800s to 2019 (with most records collected after 1950) and represents the most comprehensive consolidation of Antarctic ice‐free biodiversity occurrence data yet compiled into a single database. The Biodiversity of Ice‐free Antarctica Database contains 35,654 records of 1890 species in over 800 genera across six kingdoms and spans all Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe rising expenses associated with car ownership have driven individuals to seek more affordable alternatives, such as car rentals. However, conventional car rental services often come with high costs due to leasing companies' overhead expenses. Consequently, car sharing has emerged as a popular and cost‐effective solution that reduces expenses and promotes eco‐friendliness by reducing the number of vehicles on the roads. Nonetheless, centralization and reliability remain persistent challenges in car‐sharing implementation. To address these issues, we propose a decentralized crowd car sharing and renting platform called CROWDCARLINK, leveraging blockchain technology's power. This innovative platform enables individuals and leasing companies to rent vehicles while securely recording each car's maintenance and lease history on the blockchain. Within CROWDCARLINK, garages are pivotal contributors, adding vehicle information in a reliable and immutable manner. By utilizing blockchain technology, our platform ensures transparency and fosters trust, effectively overcoming the limitations imposed by centralization. Our architectural design incorporates smart contracts, which help streamline processes and facilitate seamless transactions within the platform. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we have developed a prototype utilizing a private Ethereum blockchain with Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus. We believe that the architectural design and the practical solution presented here will play an integral role in shaping the future of smart transportation. Our platform aims to benefit individuals and the environment by offering a cost‐effective and efficient solution, paving the way for a more sustainable and advanced transportation ecosystem.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTNew way of formalizing hybrid systems in models for managing the process of vessel unloading is caused by the significant increase in container transportation around the world over the past decade. The growth of container traffic is the main reason for the constant modernization of port container terminals and the improvement of cargo unloading technology is most promising when using those methods, that allow obtaining maximum results in terms of cargo processing speed. This problem is the subject of an article in which an analytical review of container handling technologies existing in world ports is carried out, their key performance indicators are formulated and it is shown how the use of a centralized hybrid control system based on the dynamics of discrete events can lead to increased profitability of the port. Developed concept of a hybrid control system makes possible to consider such features of the vessels unload process that have not been considered until now.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAirway obstruction secondary to chyle leak is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. Here, we describe this complication in a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) undergoing consolidative surgery after BRAF‐targeted therapy.MethodsA 55‐year‐old man presented with a rapidly enlarging neck mass. Work‐up was consistent with metastatic unresectable BRAFV600E‐mutant ATC. After a remarkable response to neoadjuvant dabrafenib and trametinib, he underwent curative‐intent surgery with a right hemithyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. Within 48 h, he developed an expanding left neck mass with laryngeal obstruction due to a chyle leak.ResultsDespite surgical repair and maximal medical therapy, the leak persisted necessitating thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. Final pathology showed a completely excised residual tumor. The patient remains disease‐free on long‐term dabrafenib and trametinib.ConclusionsBRAF‐directed therapy has transformed the care of patients with mutated ATC. As more patients undergo consolidative surgery, increased vigilance is paramount in minimizing complications and their associated morbidity.

AbstractObjectivesTo determine the effect of training midwives and nurses on access to first trimester abortions and post‐abortion family planning.MethodsThis was a pre‐post study on first trimester abortion care and post‐abortion contraceptive services expansion by training midwives and nurses(task‐sharing) from 14 catchment health centers of St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (Ethiopia). The study period was January 2022 to August 2023. Data were collected by reviewing records of first trimester abortion and post‐abortion family planning at the health centers. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Simple descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data. Proportions and frequencies were used to present the results.ResultsA total of 2690 first abortions were performed during the study period. The number of first trimester abortions provided jumped from 790 in the pre‐intervention period to 1900 in the post‐intervention period (a rise of 140%), of which 624 (32.8%) were surgical (manual vacuum aspiration) and the remaining 1276 (67.2%) were medication abortions. Similarly, post‐abortion family planning uptake increased from 35.3% (279/790) during the preintervention period to 71.6% (1360/1900) in the post‐intervention period, an increment of 36.3%.ConclusionsTraining midwives and nurses to provide first trimester abortion and post‐abortion family planning had more than a doubling effect in expanding access to both first trimester abortion and post‐abortion family planning.
Photometric Units
Authors: Luxenberg H. R. 
Published: January 2025

SummaryEven a casual investigation of the literature of the display‐allied fields, e.g. optics, photography, photometry, and psychology, to name but a few, reveals that a wide variety of photometric units are in current use. Furthermore, many identical units have two or three common names; and it is not uncommon to see the units incorrectly used or defined in both technical papers and procurement specifications. This paper shows that there are only four physical quantities for which units are required, defines the most commonly used units, provides some notion of their magnitudes by citing typical values for familiar situations, categorizes these units as being either in the MKS, CGS or English systems, and relates alternate names for identical units.
The Determination of Display Screen Size And Resolution Based on Perceptual and Information Limitations
Authors: Whitham Glenn E 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe material presented in this paper offers useful, handbook type information to enable the display system designer to determine rapidly the limiting values of basic display parameters so that he can devote his attention to those unique details inherent to the design of a specific system.By considering displays in terms of their minimum resolvable elements, a series of design charts have been developed from which limiting design range values can be obtained for display element size, overall size, symbol size and maximum symbol quantity in thes ordered or random symbols. these limits more exact parametric values can be specified in terms of the effect on them of other system parameters. In this manner the feasibility of a display configuration can be verified in terms of fundamental limitations, and inconsistent requirements can be modified in the conceptual phase.
Some Pragmatic Considerations Influencing the Selection of Air Force Display Techniques
Authors: Kennedy Edmund J. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe selection by the Air Force from among many promising display techniques is influenced in part by pragmatic considerations that are sometimes overlooked. These considerations include logistics, availability and cost.Data is presented on the impact of these on industry and the Air Force and the ill effects of failing to provide for the practical things. In some cases these ill effects, that could have been avoided, have un justifiably been interpreted as limitations of the technique.A useful approach to dealing with pragmatic considerations is to relate them to total cost over the lifetime of the system and a simple conceptual approach to the problem is presented.
True stereoscopic movie system without glasses

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTVarious stereoscopic systems are discussed and the problems inherent with each enumerated. Among them are grand scale holography and lenticular screen‐multi‐camera and projection systems for a proposed zoneless wide screen viewing criteria within the theatre. Zone system two‐picture autostereo techniques with their inherent problems are also mentioned briefly.The writer's design is presented for an entirely new approach to the age‐old problem of stereo pictures which must be projected to a large audience; provide an extended field of view both horizontally and vertically, not restrict the posi tions of view within the bounds of the auditorium's viewing area; present a unity sizing of original scene to synthetic playback; minimize complexity of theatre projection equipment and completely eliminate the requirements for optical aids at the observer's eyes.
True stereoscopic movie system without glasses
Authors: Collender Robert B. 
Published: January 2025

In the previous issue (July/August, 1968) of this journal, in which the first part of this paper was presented, a brief discussion was presented on the problems involved with adapting grandscale holography to the movie theatres. A discussion was presented which led to the conclusion that three dimensional reproduction should be on a unity magnification basis (e.g. the size of objects in the scene captured should be equal to the size of reconstructed images in the wide screen stereoscopic theatre).Gabriel Lippman's lenticular system was shown expanded to its possible application to future theatres and the resultant problems associated with this adaptation, were discussed.The author's concept was described in which the capture equipment consists of a 100 foot arc of 1500 pinholes which are uncovered sequentially to expose ten sets of horizontally‐moving spherical lenticular filmstrips. The filmstrip's movement and exposure are synchronized by a central control system. The resultant film is specially processed for centralized projection. In the proposed new 3‐D theatre, a centralized projection booth is at the center of curvature of a cylindrical screen and stationary electronically controlled Kerr cellshutter selector. The pictures are released to the screen in a cyclic scanning time‐multiplexed sequential overlap fashion as they rapidly. sweep over the semi‐specularly reflective screen. In step with this sweeping myriad of pictures, an electronically operating shutter system, some 50 feet in front of the screen, forces each eye in the theatre to see the appropriate perspective for its particular position. Because of this, each person in the theatre sees a “different view” of the scene in true stereoscopic vision. The audience will see the scene reproduced as through a large bay window (100 feet wide and 50 feet high).In the last issue, an introduction to the theory of the system was given. The image dissection process was described. The mathematical formulas were developed for predicting the vertical shrink‐expand factors for each spatial image depending on its location with respect to the projection geometry and any given observer position. A scale schematic drawing of the proposed theatre was presented. A brief description of the camera system was given along with a brief introduction to its theory of operation.In the following concluding publication (part 2) of this paper, the camera system is continued‐followed by the central processor, the projection system, the electronic shutter selection system and screen illumination calculations.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disorder that adversely affects the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and microglial function in the central nervous system (CNS), contributing to neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms linking diabetes to BBB dysfunction and microglial dysregulation remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the impacts of diabetes on BBB and microglial reactivity and investigated its mechanisms. We found diabetes severely disrupted the BBB integrity and microglial response to vascular injury. We also revealed a potential relationship between BBB disruption and impaired microglial function, whereby increasing BBB permeability led to a downregulation of microglial P2RY12 expression, thereby impairing microglial protection against cerebrovascular injury. Understanding these mechanisms may contribute to the developing of therapeutic strategies for diabetes‐related neurological complications.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTTreating people who have experienced deep and prolonged developmental trauma, that is, complex post‐traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD), can be challenging given the complexity and severity of their presentations. The main features of complex post‐traumatic stress disorder, that is, affective and behavioral dysregulation, altered self‐experience and identity disturbances, relational difficulties, negative self‐concepts, and negative pathogenic beliefs, are, at the same time, therapeutic goals and obstacles to treatment. Therefore, clinicians must be aware of these difficulties in order to identify them and be ready to treat them when they arise during therapy with the same client. For this reason, the clinical cases presented in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session provide a very useful overview of how to deal with these manifestations from the perspective of different models of psychotherapy. This commentary, after briefly reviewing the clinical features and therapeutic difficulties of these clients, offers a critical summary of the commonalities and differences between the various approaches presented by the clinical cases in this special issue. The purpose is to help the reader navigate the key aspects of treating the pathogenetic processes involved in cPTSD and to identify the different therapeutic tools that may be applicable to the different clinical presentations.
Dengue Virus Replicative‐Form dsRNA Is Recognized by Both RIG‐I and MDA5 to Activate Innate Immunity

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTRIG‐I like receptors (RLRs) are a family of cytosolic RNA sensors that sense RNA virus infection to activate innate immune response. It is generally believed that different RNA viruses are recognized by either RIG‐I or MDA5, two important RLR members, depending on the nature of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are generated by RNA virus replication. Dengue virus (DENV) is an important RNA virus causing serious human diseases. Despite extensive investigations, the molecular basis of the DENV PAMP recognized by the host RLR has been poorly defined. Here, we demonstrated that the DENV infection‐induced interferon response is dependent upon both RIG‐I and MDA5, with RIG‐I playing a predominant role. Next we purified the DENV PAMP RNA from the DENV‐infected cells, and demonstrated that the purified DENV PAMP is viral full‐length double‐stranded RNA bearing 5'ppp modifications, likely representing the viral replicative‐form RNA. Finally, we confirmed the nature of the DENV PAMP by reconstituting the viral replicative‐form RNA from in vitro synthesized DENV genomic RNA. In conclusion, our work not only defined the molecular basis of the RLR‐PAMP interaction during DENV infection, but also revealed the previously underappreciated recognition of a distinct moiety of the same PAMP by different RLRs in innate immunity against RNA viruses.

AbstractObjectivesRefeeding syndrome (RS) defines the deleterious clinical and metabolic changes occurring during nutritional support of severely malnourished patients. Pediatric guidelines to prevent and treat RS are scarce and highly variable. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an enteral refeeding protocol in severely undernourished hospitalized children with anorexia nervosa (AN) or organic diseases (OD).MethodsThis ancillary study to the Preventing Malnutrition and Restoring Nutritional Status in Hospitalized Children (PREDIRE) trial (NCT01081587), included severely undernourished children hospitalized between January 2010 and June 2018 and treated with an enteral refeeding protocol drafted for the study. The effectiveness was assessed by weight gain and safety by clinical and laboratory abnormality occurrence over the initial 3‐week refeeding period, which represents the most critical period for the development of RS.ResultsAfter 3 weeks of refeeding, the mean weight for height ratio increased from 72% to 82%, and half of the patients with severe undernutrition improved their nutritional status. The prevalence of RS was 10.4%. No clinical cardiac or neurological complication occurred. The most frequent laboratory complication was hypophosphatemia in 13.7% of patients; but symptomatic in only two patients (2.5%). Compared with patients with OD, patients with AN improved their weight‐for‐height ratio faster without significantly more frequent complications, except for hepatic cytolysis which was less prevalent in AN (8.3% vs. 36.8%).ConclusionsThe proposed enteral refeeding protocol appears safe for treating severely undernourished children of different etiologies, with a low prevalence of RS and half of the patients recovered from severe malnutrition within a 3‐week period.
