Hydropower development in South Asia: Data challenges, new approaches, and implications for decision‐making
Authors: Hennig Thomas , Harlan Tyler , Tilt Bryan , Magee Darrin 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn recent years scholars have advanced our understanding of the biophysical, socioeconomic, and geopolitical impacts of dams and hydropower infrastructure around the globe. Databases and maps have emerged that allow global comparisons between countries and river basins. However, reliable and freely available data do not exist for many regions. As a result, data limitations and quality issues persist, which limit the quality of analyses based on these datasets. This is particularly true in regions where hydropower infrastructure development is proceeding most rapidly, including South Asia's Third Pole region. We identify and describe serious quantitative and qualitative data dilemmas of existing databases. We divide these into location, size, type, and status. At the most basic level, these dilemmas mean that incorrect location and, more importantly, massive underrepresentation of existing and future projects generates incorrect conclusions. That underrepresentation results largely from uncritically equating absence of data with absence of infrastructure. We also argue that project function should be more reliably recorded (for both dams and hydropower projects), that project status should be clear (many existing projects are still passed off as future), and that smaller projects should be systematically recorded (their cumulative importance is often underestimated). These four dilemmas all have important implications for analyses based on existing datasets. The World Index of Hydropower, Dams, and Reservoirs (WIHDR) described here represents a major advance on all four points. For the first time, 652 existing hydropower plants (277 large and 375 small), 162 under construction, and 720 planned hydropower plants have been georeferenced and systematically recorded for the Indus‐Ganga‐Brahmaputra region.This article is categorized under:

Potential Impacts of Afforestation Expansion Under Price Fluctuations of Carbon and Timber
Authors: Liu Wan-Yu , Yu Hong-Wen , Chu Ming-Yun 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTaiwan, a non-contracting party to the UN Framework Convention to Climate Change, committed to Net-zero Emission goal by 2050. In implementing carbon trade schemes, forest landowners can acquire carbon credit revenue in addition to timber revenue. To assess the impacts on afforestation area in Taiwan, this study uses land expectation value (LEV) calculated from price of timber sale and carbon trading and analyzes the correlation with area of afforestation. Results indicate that timber price significantly affected the area of afforestation of Taiwania cryptomerioides (Taiwania). It suggests that to increase the afforestation by 1%, $${\text{LEV}}_{\log }^t$$

LEV

must increase by an average of 100,261 NTD/ha. After conversion, the price of Taiwania increased by 240 NTD/m3 or 1.23%. The average carbon credit revenue accounts for less than 3% of the total LEV. It suggests that total LEV obtained from Taiwania is primarily determined by timber price, with minimal impacts from carbon price fluctuation.
Role of Renewable Energy Policy in Ensuring Net-Zero Carbon Emissions and Energy Sustainability: A Bangladesh Perspective
Authors: Islam Emadul , Shah Asheer , Karim Tariq A. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe current global energy crisis along with the climate impacts of non-green energy sources has necessitated the shift toward renewable and sustainable energy. Limited fossil fuel reserves and high climate change vulnerability index of Bangladesh necessitate the country’s need to achieve sustainable renewable energy governance and policy development to guarantee net-zero carbon emissions and energy sustainability. This study illustrates the implementation of national and regional policies in addressing the challenges of Bangladesh’s transition to green energy from fossil fuels. The study contributes in the domain of national and intergovernmental green energy policy by developing recommendations along the Bay of Bengal region to increase the scalability of technologies and innovations, highlighting the opportunities and strengths of Bangladesh being the founding member of BIMSTEC integration.
Opportunities and Challenges in Sustainable Development and Governance in South Asia: Case Study of Bhutan
Authors: Hossain Shanawez , Jami Ahmad Tousif 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe future of the post-COVID, climate “red code” world, hugely depends on good governance and a transition to low carbon. World leaders have repeatedly stated a unified goal of establishing a carbon–neutral society by mid-century. Analysis shows that South Asia’s strong economic expansion has paved the way toward sustainable development, yet the region still has many unsustainable practices, except for Bhutan. As the first-only carbon-negative country globally, it is vital to extensively study, learn, and optimize Bhutan’s best practices to improve global climate practices. Bhutan’s three G model (gross domestic product—GDP, greenhouse gasses—GHG, gross national happiness—GNH) expands development metrics beyond GDP to people’s happiness and environmental well-being. This study demonstrates how adapting practices from Bhutan, which have been molded by local experiences, problems, and opportunities, would effectively bolster green climate practices in the South Asian region.
Trends in Research: A Literature Review
Authors: Nordin Magdalena , Otterbeck Jonas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, we present a literature review ordered as a history of the development of theories on migration and religion, addressing the main works on migration to Europe, adding the influential perspectives developed in relation to migration to North America. As a literature review, it is written in a denser style than the rest of the book; therefore, we end each section with a short summary.
Finding Tactics and Making Space: The Individuals and the Communities
Authors: Nordin Magdalena , Otterbeck Jonas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, we focus on international migration from the perspective of the migrants themselves, examining the different tactics and ways of space making they deploy. We begin with the religious lives of individual migrants, first providing a theoretical presentation of how religion can be understood as an individual yet social phenomenon. Migration changes the social structures of a person’s life in many ways and, as a social phenomenon, religion is likely to go through similar drastic changes in connection with migration. Consequently, we need to know more about religion as a social structure and the function of it. Then we demonstrate how migrants’ religious lives can be understood by addressing the issue of religious practices, how people’s religion relates to integration and, finally, how religious beliefs may be a motivating factor in developing active citizenship.
Negotiating Space: Strategies of the European States and Politics of Religion
Authors: Nordin Magdalena , Otterbeck Jonas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this chapter addresses how space making in relation to migrants’ religions is negotiated from the perspective of the receiving countries. In this chapter, we stress the difference between tactics, as social power practices among the less influential, and the strategies practiced by more influential social agents when establishing space, that is, the social practice of place. Thus, the space making tactics in focus in Chap. 3 here make way for discussion of strategies of space making by social agents who are likely to be able to assert and practice power in influential ways. In this case, these are states, regional and local authorities in the country of residence and more abstract social institutions such as political, juridical and educational systems.
Introduction: Understanding the Challenge of Irregular Migration
Authors: Ambrosini Maurizio , Hajer Minke H. J. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractInternational migration is a critical issue in contemporary societies. Migration is at the centre of the ‘transnationalized social question’ located at the interstices between the Global South and the Global North (Faist T. The Transnationalized Social Question. Migration and the Politics of Social Inequalities in the Twenty-First Century. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2019). Whilst irregular migration is problematised and criminalised in the Global North, in sending societies venturing abroad is often viewed as a dream or a hope, regardless of the legal framework in which this mobility and subsequent settlement occur, thus often giving the impression that migrants take the time spent in an irregular condition for granted. This introduction will outline the structure of this Reader, in which we hope to provide ample insight into the contentious theme of irregular migration by elaborating on its origins, the policies devised to deal with it, possible responses to it, the actors involved, and the agency of irregular migrants themselves. The Reader starts by highlighting the issue of irregular migration, discussing terminology, and providing estimates of the population involved.
Hypergraph Computation for Medical and Biological Applications
Authors: Dai Qionghai , Gao Yue 
Published: May 2023

AbstractHypergraph computation, with its superior capability in complex data modeling, is a powerful tool for many medical and biological applications. In this chapter, we introduce four typical examples of the use of hypergraph computation in medical and biological applications, i.e., computer-aided diagnosis, survival prediction with histopathological images, drug discovery, and medical image segmentation. In each application, we present how to construct the hypergraph structure with different kinds of medical and biological data and different hypergraph computation strategies for these tasks respectively. We can notice that hypergraph computation has shown advantages in these applications.
Morphology, anatomy and sleep movements of Ludwigia sedoides

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The diurnal motion of higher plants, responding to the alternation of day and night, known as nyctinastic movements or “sleep movements”, has been discussed frequently. We present the first description of the circadian rhythm of the water plant Ludwigia sedoides (Humb. & Bonpl.) H.Hara of the family Onagraceae, furthermore its morphology and anatomy. Our results indicate that the plant’s movements are endogenous, although environmental factors certainly have an influence. The majority of plants with nyctinastic leaf movements have a pulvinus, as the crucial part of the plant enabling this movement. Although the basal section of the L. sedoides petiole is not swollen, the tissue functions similarly to a pulvinus. It consists of a central conducting tissue with thick-walled cells, which is surrounded by thin-walled motor cells that can undergo visible shrinking and swelling. Thus, the tissue functionally corresponds to a pulvinus. Examinations of cellular processes, like measurements of the turgor pressure in the petiole, need to be evaluated in future studies.

AbstractWire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) direct energy deposition is used to process two different duplex stainless steels (DSS) wire chemistries. Macro- and micromechanical response variables relevant to industrialization are studied using a design of the experiment (DoE) approach. The tested operation window shows that the variation of layer height and over-thickness are highly correlated with travel speed and wire feed speed and positively correlated with heat input. The maximum achieved average instantaneous deposition rate is 3.54 kg/h. The use of wire G2205, which contains 5 wt% nickel content, results in a ferrite-to-austenite ratio that is equally balanced, while wire G2209, with 9 wt% nickel, provides a lower ferrite content. The spatial distribution of Fe% is influenced by part geometry and path planning, and higher heat inputs result in coarser microstructures. The manufacturing weaving strategy generates a heterogeneous microstructure characterized by fluctuations in Fe%. Thus, understanding the effect of complex thermal history, higher-dimensional design spaces, and uncertainty quantification is required to drive metal WAAM toward full industrialization.

Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungJedes Jahr ereignen sich in Deutschland mehrere Hundert tödliche Arbeitsunfälle, wobei sich die Anzahl in den vergangenen Jahren rückläufig zeigte. Den beiden hier vorgestellten Arbeitsunfällen lag ein sehr ungewöhnlicher Unfallmechanismus zugrunde, der insbesondere im Fall 1 eine den Gegebenheiten angepasste Sektionstechnik erforderte.Fall 1Beim Reinigen eines Hackschnitzelsilos wurde ein 57-jähriger Mann von einer sich sehr langsam drehenden Förderschnecke erfasst und getötet. Durch vorsichtiges Abwickeln und Herauslösen von auf der Schnecke befindlichen Gewebsanteilen konnte gezeigt werden, dass der Erstkontakt am rechten Bein stattgefunden hat, und dass der Oberkörper wohl aufgrund einer Einwickelung der getragenen Jacke in die Schnecke geraten ist. Einblutungen am rechten Handrücken und einzelne Bluteinatmungsherde in den Lungen belegten, dass der Verstorbene zumindest zu Beginn des Geschehens noch geatmet bzw. einen intakten Kreislauf gehabt hat.Fall 2Ein 17-jähriger Mann war beim Befüllen eines Schachtes mit Hackschnitzeln mit seinem linken Bein in eine Förderschnecke geraten. Schwer verletzt wurde er in ein Krankenhaus eingeliefert, wo er trotz Notoperation verstarb.
Lipase-catalysed changes in essential oils revealed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

Published: May 2023

AbstractCandida antarctica lipase A (CALA) was applied for the chemo-selective enzymatic transesterification of terpene and phenyl alcohols in 35 different essential oil samples. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC×GC‒MS) analysis enabled the separation and tentative identification of a cohort of 125 compounds, allowing the instant visualisation of the reaction process changes, amid the complex chemical background of the samples. The results indicate that 42 out of 79 alcohols so-identified were fully or partially esterified within 48 h of reaction, with primary alcohols being the substrates of preference of the enzyme (90–100% conversion), followed by secondary alcohols (mostly ~ 80–100% conversion). No significant conversion of tertiary alcohols and phenols was observed using the tested conditions. Overall, the enzyme’s performance was consistent for primary alcohol substrates identified in multiple samples of different compositions. The observed selectivity, efficiency, robustness, scalability (enzyme/substrate working concentration ratio > 1:160), potential reusability, mild reaction conditions, and other factors make this process a greener and more sustainable alternative for industry applications, particularly for the manufacture of novel flavours and fragrances.

Abstract
Purpose
To measure proximal ulna dorsal angulation (PUDA) and olecranon tip-to-apex distance (TTA) in pediatric population to aid surgeons with data for proximal ulna fractures fixation.

Methods
Retrospective review of the hospital radiographic database. All elbow radiographs were identified and after implementing exclusion criteria, included were 95 patients aged 0–10; 53 patients aged 11–14; and 53 patients aged 15–18. PUDA was defined as the angle between lines placed on the “flat spot” of the olecranon and the dorsal edge of the ulnar shaft and TTA as the distance between the tip of the olecranon to the apex of angulation. Two evaluators performed measurements independently.

Results
In age group 0–10, mean PUDA was 7.53°, range 3.8–13.7, 95% CI 7.16–7.91, while mean TTA was 22.04 mm, range 8.8–50.5, 95% CI 19.92–24.17. In age group 11–14, mean PUDA was 4.99°, range 2.5–9.3, 95% CI (4.61–5.37), while mean TTA was 37.41 mm, range 16.5–66.6, 95% CI (34.91–39.90). In age group 15–18, mean PUDA was 5.18°, range 2.9–8.1, 95% CI (4.75–5.61), while mean TTA was 43.79 mm, range 24.5–79.4, 95% CI (41.38–46.19). PUDA was negatively correlated with age (r = − 0.56, p < 0.001), while TTA was positively correlated with age (r = 0.77, p < 0.001). Reliability levels of 0.81–1 or 0.61–0.80 were achieved for most of intra- and inter-rater reliabilities besides two levels of 0.41–60 and one of 0.21–0.40.

Conclusion
The main study finding is that in most cases mean age-group values may serve as a template for proximal ulna fixation. There are some cases in which X-ray of contralateral elbow may provide surgeon with a better template.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) might have an inherited cardiac condition background. Genetic testing supports post-mortem diagnosis and screening of relatives at risk. Our aim is to determine the feasibility of a Czech national collaboration group and to establish the clinical importance of molecular autopsy and family screening. From 2016 to 2021, we have evaluated 100 unrelated SCD cases (71.0% males, age: 33.3 (12.8) years). Genetic testing was performed by next-generation sequencing utilizing a panel of 100 genes related to inherited cardiac/aortic conditions and/or whole exome sequencing. According to autopsy, cases were divided into cardiomyopathies, sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, sudden unexplained death syndrome, and sudden aortic death. We identified pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants following ACMG/AMP recommendations in 22/100 (22.0%) of cases. Since poor DNA quality, we have performed indirect DNA testing in affected relatives or in healthy parents reaching a diagnostic genetic yield of 11/24 (45.8%) and 1/10 (10.0%), respectively. Cardiological and genetic screening disclose 83/301 (27.6%) relatives at risk of SCD. Genetic testing in affected relatives as starting material leads to a high diagnostic yield offering a valuable alternative when suitable material is not available. This is the first multidisciplinary/multicenter molecular autopsy study in the Czech Republic which supports the establishment of this type of diagnostic tests. A central coordinator and proper communication among centers are crucial for the success of a collaboration at a national level.
Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the renal pelvis: first report at an extra-gastrointestinal site with molecular confirmation
Authors: Nagy Dora , Ellinger Jörg , Ritter Manuel , Pelusi Natalie , Kristiansen Glen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractInflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP) are rare and benign mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. They are submucosal spindle cell lesions with an eosinophilic-rich inflammatory infiltrate and mutations in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) gene. In this report, we present the case of a 74-year-old female with a solid tumour of the kidney, which presented as a bland proliferation of spindle cells with thin-walled blood vessels and an inflammatory infiltrate with eosinophilic granulocytes. Immunohistochemistry revealed a positivity for vimentin and a weak staining for CD99 and CD34 in the spindle cells. Because of the morphological similarity to IFPs of the gastrointestinal tract, a molecular pathology analysis was performed. This identified an oncogenic mutation in exon 18 of the PDGFRA gene, which is characteristic for inflammatory fibroid polyps of the gastrointestinal tract. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of an IFP in the urogenital tract.
Safety and feasibility of exercise interventions in patients with hematological cancer undergoing chemotherapy: a systematic review
Authors: Großek Anja , Großek Karla , Bloch Wilhelm 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Objective
Exercise during and after cancer treatment has established quality of life and health benefits. However, particularly for patients with hematological cancer clear recommendations regarding the safety and feasibility of exercise are under-investigated. The aim of our systematic review was to summarize the literature regarding the feasibility and safety of exercise interventions in patients diagnosed with hematological cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Method
A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and Web of Science electronic databases. Eligible studies were scientific publications reporting the feasibility and/or safety of an exercise intervention program carried out in inpatient patients diagnosed with hematological cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Result
Out of 12 studies (six RCTs) included in this review, six investigations reported results with regard to safety and 10 with regard to feasibility. While all studies claim that their exercise interventions were safe and/or feasible, it is noteworthy that this claim often remains unsupported as detailed information on how the feasibility of the intervention was asserted is missing.

Conclusion
Exercise appears to be safe and feasible in hematological cancer patients. However, due to a striking lack of information on how the feasibility of the intervention was asserted, contextualizing the results and deducing recommendations for further studies remains challenging. Further research should therefore incorporate information on the execution of the exercise intervention in more detail.
