Predicting comorbid mental health difficulties in people with autoimmune arthritis
Authors: Hibbs Caitlin A 
Published: January 2024

AbstractLittle is known about variables impacting the association between mental health difficulties and autoimmune conditions. This study investigates whether, age of onset, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and ‘illness invisibility’ predict comorbid mental health difficulties in people with autoimmune arthritis. Participants with autoimmune arthritis (N = 209) were recruited via social media platforms. Age of onset of arthritis and the temporal order of mental health difficulties (if applicable) were collected alongside a measure of personality and ACEs. A novel measure of illness invisibility was developed for this study. A cross-sectional mixed-subject design was utilised. 53.5% of the sample endorsed lifetime mental health difficulties. Logistic regression analyses revealed participants with a younger age of onset of arthritis had significantly higher odds of developing a mental health problem (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.90–0.96). Independently, Illness Invisibility, endorsed by 89.9% of participants, significantly predicted postmorbid mental health difficulties (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01–1.19). Adverse Childhood Experiences were frequently endorsed within the sample with 37.8% reporting ≥ 3 cumulative ACEs. Every unit increase in ACEs increased the odds of having comorbid mental health difficulties (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.09–1.47). Young people who are diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis maybe more likely to experience subsequent mental health difficulties. The ‘invisibility’ of their illness and exposure to ACEs also is associated with their risk for mental health complications. These findings highlight the importance of mental health screening for young people being investigated for arthritis and interdisciplinary care, especially for young people.

Published: January 2024

AbstractSpontaneous intracranial hypotension may result in debilitating postural headaches and severe neurological symptoms due to secondary cerebellar sagging. The most common cause is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak within the spinal canal. Although previously reported in only a few cases, also paraspinal lymphatic malformations causing vertebral bone destruction may occasionally result in CSF leak to these pathological formations. Here, we present a case of a 9-year-old girl with generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) presenting with severe postural headache. Radiological imaging revealed a typical feature of cerebellar sagging. Myelography localized the CSF leakage into vertebral bodies of C7 and Th1, which both were partly involved in pathological paravertebral masses of known lymphatic anomaly, and from there along the right C8 nerve root sleeve into the anomaly. As the C8-nerve root could not be ligated due to the risk of significant neurological injury, we attempted image-guided targeted percutaneous epidural placement of a blood patch directly into the foramen at the affected level. The procedure resulted in obliteration of the fistula and regression of cerebellar sagging, with significant relief of symptoms. Although it is an extremely rare coincidence, patients with paraspinal lymphatic malformations may develop intraspinal CSF leak into these pathological formations. The present case report suggests that besides a direct surgical obliteration of the fistula and sacrificing the nerve root, a targeted percutaneous epidural blood patch may be a possible alternative in the case of a functionally important nerve root.

Abstract
Objective and background
Visual auras in migraine have been extensively studied, but less is known about multisensory hallucinations or other unusual sensory experiences, including whether these should be diagnostically considered as part of aura symptoms. The current study aimed to conduct a systematic review and synthesis to bring together existing empirical evidence on these non-visual perceptual experiences, focusing on their phenomenological descriptions and clinical correlates.

Methods
Forty-eight relevant studies were included based on a systematic search across PsycINFO APA and Web of Science, for peer-reviewed publications in the English language, from 1980 to the present. These comprised a mix of case reports/series (n = 19) and group design studies (n = 29).

Results
Reports of complex multisensory hallucinations, beyond typical established aura symptoms, were numerous and varied in nature. Yet there were limited data on how this related to patient distress and functional interference. Other sensory distortions or hypersensitivities across non-visual domains were also evident, and generally more common in those with established aura symptoms.

Conclusion
Our findings provide preliminary evidence that multisensory hallucinations and other unusual perceptual experiences in migraine are likely more common than previously believed. Further investigations are needed to appropriately account for these symptoms within current nosological systems. Increased clinician–patient awareness is important for managing distress (where necessary), and potentially for offering a holistic therapeutic approach to migraine management.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Since the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and targeted therapies (TT), survival rates of metastatic melanoma patients have increased significantly and complete remissions are no longer rarities. Consequently, there is an increasing number of long-term survivors who have not yet been comprehensively characterized.

Methods
We included melanoma patients who entered stage IV between 2014 and 2017 and survived at least 5 years after entering stage IV. Descriptive statistics were performed to characterize the applied systemic therapies, response rates and to report which of these patients are still alive today.

Results
640 patients entered stage IV at the University Hospital Tuebingen. Of these, 207 patients (32%) were still alive at least 5 years after entering stage IV. Details of applied therapies and response rates were available in 176 patients (85%). About 90% of patients (n = 159) were still alive at the time of analysis. Median survival since first stage IV diagnosis was 6.0 years (range 5–9 years). An impressive majority of patients (n = 146, 83%) were no longer receiving systemic therapy at the time of evaluation. Complete remission under first line systemic therapy was seen in 36% of the patients.

Conclusion
This dataset comprises the largest available cohort of long-term surviving stage IV melanoma patients. Since 90% of patients in our cohort are still alive today, we expect an increasing number of long-term survivors in the future. Our data indicate the need for specific follow-up programs addressing the needs of long-term survivors.
Deep encoder–decoder network based data-driven method for impact feedback rendering on head during earthquake

Published: January 2024

AbstractIn safety training simulators, realistic haptic feedback is essential to make people construct accurate situation awareness through experiencing. In this regard, this paper presents a new and innovative system that provides the haptic experience of falling objects on user’s head during an earthquake. Special focus was on the accurate reproduction of impact feedback when various objects fall on the head. To this end, we propose a novel data-driven approach. This approach first collects 3-axis acceleration signals during real collision under several impact velocities. Afterward, 3D acceleration data is abstracted to a 1D acceleration profile using our novel max–min extraction approach. The impact signal for an arbitrary velocity is interpolated using a deep convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory encoder–decoder model. Rendering hardware is also implemented using high performance voice-coil vibrotactile actuator. Numerical and subjective evaluations are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach.Kindly check and confirm the edit made in the title.I confirm the edit is okay.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

2-D Modeling of hyperconcentrated fluid flow in curvilinear coordinates: dam break study
Authors: Ghobadian Rasool 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe hyperconcentrated fluid flow occurs as a result of heavy rainfall, during which a large amount of sediments from the upstream basin is washed away and suddenly increases the flow concentration of the alluvial channels. The stresses exerted by this type of fluid on the bed and body of the stream/river and related structures such as dam lead to the failure them and cause many human and financial losses. One of the important topics in the simulation of dam break caused by non-Newtonian fluid flow is the modeling of frictional stresses. In this research, after collecting several relationships to model the coefficient of friction loss of non-Newtonian fluid, a two-dimensional model was developed based on the numerical solution of shallow water equations in curvilinear coordinates to simulate hyperconcentrated flow. The results of the validation of the model were presented by comparing the measurement data of the suddenly complete dam break caused by the non-Newtonian fluid flow in the form of graphs, which all emphasize the accuracy of the developed model. It was also shown that for a suddenly complete dam break, with an increase in fluid volume concentration from 13.8 to 36.4%, the flow depth at the failure site increases by 18.8%. Next, asymmetric two-dimensional partial dam break of non-Newtonian fluid was simulated and compared with the results of Newtonian fluid. The results showed that the maximum flow velocity in the center of the fracture wall for the non-Newtonian fluid with a concentration of 32.2% is less than half of the maximum velocity of the Newtonian fluid.
Variety mixtures of winter wheat: a general status and national case study
Authors: Vestergaard Niels Frederik , Jørgensen Lise Nistrup 
Published: January 2024

AbstractFood and feed production worldwide heavily relies on wheat (Triticum aestivum). However, current agricultural practices face numerous challenges including a shortage of land for cultivation, a desire to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and the development of resistance towards employed pesticides and virulence towards host resistance in the most widely grown varieties. In this paper, we demonstrate based on the literature that cultivating wheat variety mixtures generally leads to increased yield and yield stability across years and environments, reduced severity of multiple diseases, and a decreased risk of lodging before harvest compared to the cultivation of pure stands. Moreover, mixtures may delay fungicide resistance development and increase genetic diversity, ultimately prolonging the durability of resistance genes. Furthermore, growing mixtures may lower the risk of crop failure due to more extreme weather events and lead to better utilization of water and nutrients. We discuss a Danish case study advocating the cropping of wheat varieties in mixtures as an example of how variety mixtures can be utilized in integrated pest management strategies. The study shows that if all involved stakeholder groups promote the adoption of variety mixtures, a major uptake by farmers can be reached, potentially reducing the dependency on pesticides in current cropping schemes.
Allosuckling in southern right whale calves
Authors: Sprogis Kate R. , Christiansen Fredrik 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAllosuckling, the suckling of milk from a non-biological mother, occurs in some species of mammals. Allosuckling has not been quantified in baleen whale calves; therefore, we examine allosuckling in southern right whales (SRWs; Eubalaena australis) off Australia. SRWs are listed as Endangered under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act as their numbers remain below the estimated historical abundance. On a small aggregation area, where there were three mother–calf pairs present, we aimed to quantify the proportion of time that calves allosuckled relative to the time spent filial suckling. To achieve this, we conducted unmanned aerial vehicle focal follows on mother–calf pairs and video recorded all interactions among pairs (n = 22 interactions, 3 h total observation time). During interactions, allosuckling occurred in seven interactions, and filial nursing occurred in 11 interactions. One of the calves performed allosuckling, and it was the largest calf with the largest mother. The calf allosuckled from both of the non-biological mothers present. The average proportion of time allosuckling per interaction was 4% (95% CI =  ± 0.01, range = 0–0.25), whilst filial nursing for the same calf was 8% (95% CI =  ± 0.02, range = 0–0.37). It is important to understand the frequency of allosuckling, and to quantify the energetic benefits for allosuckling calves and the energetic cost incurred by targeted non-biological mothers. This is particularly pertinent for capital breeders who do not replenish lost energy reserves until they migrate to their feeding grounds.

Authors: Urbanová Petra , Panzeri Laura , Sanjurjo-Sánchez Jorge , Martini Marco , Maspero Francesco , Guibert Pierre , Galli Anna 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTAfter an intercomparison age experiment carried out in the framework of the first MODIS (MOrtar Dating Inter-comparison Study) project, the results showed general agreement both between optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating laboratories and with radiocarbon (14C) dating results. As the needs for the selection of samples convenient for an inter-comparison are not the same between 14C and OSL, for the second running, it has been decided to choose two different sample sets, one to share between the radiocarbon labs and one for the OSL dating ones. The results obtained by applying different experimental protocols (multigrain and single grain techniques) and different statistical models (weighted mean, central age mode, average dose model, minimum age model and exponential exposure dose) are discussed in this work.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine oncological and functional outcomes in patients with T3 and T4 laryngeal carcinoma, in which choice of treatment was based on expected laryngeal function and not T classification.MethodsOncological outcomes (disease-specific survival and overall survival) as well as functional outcomes (larynx preservation and functional larynx preservation) were analysed.ResultsIn 130 T3 and 59 T4 patients, there was no difference in disease-specific survival or overall survival rates after radiotherapy (RT) (107 patients), chemoradiotherapy (36 patients) and total laryngectomy (46 patients). The five-year disease-specific survival rates were 83 per cent after RT, 78 per cent after chemoradiotherapy and 69 per cent after total laryngectomy, whereas overall survival rates were 62, 54 and 60 per cent, respectively. Five-year larynx preservation and functional larynx preservation rates were comparable for RT (79 and 66 per cent, respectively) and chemoradiotherapy (86 and 62 per cent, respectively).ConclusionThere is no difference in oncological outcome after (chemo)radiotherapy or total laryngectomy in T3 and T4 laryngeal carcinoma patients whose choice of treatment was based on expected laryngeal function.
Systems thinking for better social policy: a case study in financial wellbeing
Authors: Brown Jeremiah Thomas , Noone Jack , Salignac Fanny 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Social problems are becoming increasingly complex. Policymakers, thus, cannot solve these issues with a single policy instrument. For example, while decades of research have examined the individual factors that influence financial stress, less is known about how organisations, social structures, policies, social norms, and large-scale events interact to affect one’s financial wellbeing. Using a systems approach as the basis of our conceptualisation, we put forward a theoretical model to help policymakers and practitioners to address the root causes of such complex issues. We argue that extant literature does not adequately conceptualise the complex relationships between the micro, meso, and macro-level drivers of financial wellbeing. As a result, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners are under-resourced when it comes to designing interventions to improve individuals’ financial situations. We use the examples of affordable housing and social security policy to highlight the utility of a systems approach. In doing so we contribute to ongoing debates by putting forward a model of financial wellbeing in the context of Western countries (specifically Australia) that can better incorporate the moderating, mediating, and reciprocal relationships between financial wellbeing and its drivers.
EMPRESA Y DISTRITO. LA INDUSTRIA LANERA EN LA SEGOVIA ÁUREA
Authors: Vela Santamaría Francisco Javier 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTThe aim of our paper is to study some aspects of the textile industry of the city of Segovia and its land in the second half of the 16th century, interpreting them through spatial economy theories and specifically the industrial district approach. It is about seeing the competitive advantages of the integration and diffusion of the business organization in its geographical framework. The district's competitive advantages are linked to both transaction and production costs. One of them is to maximize the benefits of labor market segmentation with the emergence of a primary market for skilled labor. Another is the ease of diffusion of both technology and organizational and commercial techniques.
Exploring the world of food with families: perspectives of low-income families on factors influencing their food choices
Authors: Vaughan Elena , Spyreli Eleni , McKinley Michelle , Hennessy Marita , Woodside Jayne , Kelly Colette 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate the social and environmental factors involved in the food decision-making processes of families living on lower incomes on the Island of Ireland.

Design:
A qualitative design was employed for this study, using photovoice and creative mapping methods. Parents were requested to take photos and draw maps of their food environments. Interviews were then conducted with parents, using the materials produced by parents as a cue to discuss their food environments, influences and decision-making processes around food choices.

Setting:
The participants were interviewed online via Microsoft Teams.

Participants:
The participants were parents or guardians of children between the ages of 2 and 18 who self-defined as ‘living on a tight budget’.

Results:
Twenty-eight participants were recruited and interviewed for this study, including twelve parents in Northern Ireland and sixteen in the Republic of Ireland. The findings were mapped on to Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and showed that multiple, overlapping and intersecting factors at the individual, micro-, meso-, exo-, macro- and chrono-system were implicated in family food choices. Upstream factors in particular, including structural, policy and commercial determinants, appear to be significant drivers of behaviour.

Conclusions:
While the findings suggest that a complex range of factors are involved in family food choices, it is clear that policy measures and regulations are needed to stave off the impacts of rising social inequality and food poverty. Health promoters should strive to find non-stigmatising interventions to bridge the nutritional divide experienced by lower-income families.
Investigating the Spatial and Temporal Limitations for Remote Sensing of Wildfire Smoke Using Satellite and Airborne Imagers During FIREX‐AQ

Published: January 2024

AbstractStarting from point sources, wildfire smoke is important in the global aerosol system. The ability to characterize smoke near‐source is key to modeling smoke dispersion and predicting air quality. With hemispheric views and 10‐min refresh, imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit have advantages monitoring smoke over once‐per‐day sensors in low‐earth orbit (LEO). However, both can be inadequate in capturing the characteristics of smoke plumes close to their sources due to too‐coarse spatial resolution (both detector and product resolution), too‐sparse temporal resolution (from LEO sensors), and too‐conservative masking. In addition to satellite observations, the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality experiment offered sub‐orbital enhanced‐MODIS Airborne Simulator (eMAS) imagery at 50 m pixel resolution—including multiple eMAS flight tracks over individual fires in short time periods. It provided opportunity to explore smoke plume characterization at various spatial and temporal scales and quantify the limitations of space sensors for describing smoke magnitude near source as well as its temporal evolution. Here we applied modified aerosol algorithm to different imagers, relaxing its masking to estimate smoke's aerosol optical depth (AOD) as close as possible to its source. We found that GEO sensors with nominal 1 km spatial resolution can match the much finer resolution eMAS retrieved mean plume AOD, as long as the retrieval spatial resolution is finer than the width of the plumes. However, the plume's maximum AOD may be drastically underestimated by satellite products.
