AbstractSystems engineering overlaps with many fields, such as industrial engineering, engineering management, operations research, project management, and design engineering. In fact, the main industrial engineering body of knowledge, the Industrial and Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge, includes systems in the title and includes a section on systems design and engineering, which References the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge. This paper describes the similarities and differences between systems engineering and industrial engineering based upon the respective standards, handbooks, and bodies of knowledge. Based on this assessment, we describe potential roles systems engineers and industrial engineers perform during a system's life cycle. We conclude with a summary of our paper.

AbstractBackground and AimOvert obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OOGIB) is defined as continued bleeding with unknown source despite esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy evaluation. Small bowel evaluation through video capsule endoscopy (VCE) or double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is often warranted. We studied the timing of DBE in hospitalized OOGIB patients regarding diagnostic yield, therapeutic yield, and GI rebleeding.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of DBEs performed at a tertiary medical center between November 2012 and December 2020. The inclusion criterion was first admission for OOGIB undergoing DBE. Those without previous EGD or colonoscopy were excluded. Patients were stratified into two groups: DBE performed within 72 h of OOGIB (emergent) and beyond 72 h of OOGIB (nonemergent). Propensity score matching was used to adjust for the difference in patients in the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with diagnostic and therapeutic yield. Kaplan–Meir survival curve showed GI bleed‐free survival following initial bleed and was compared using the log rank test.ResultsA total of 154 patients met the inclusion criterion, of which 62 had emergent DBE and 92 had nonemergent DBE. The propensity‐score‐matched sample consisted of 112 patients, with 56 patients each in the emergent and nonemergent groups. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between VCE and emergent DBE and diagnostic and therapeutic yield (P < 0.05). Emergent DBE patients had increased GI bleed‐free survival compared to those in the nonemergent group (P = 0.009).ConclusionOur data demonstrate that emergent DBE during inpatient OOGIB can impact the overall diagnostic yield, therapeutic yield, and GI rebleeding post DBE.

AbstractBackgroundChildren treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receive prolonged treatment, resulting in toxicities that affect health‐related quality of life (HR‐QoL). Longitudinal assessment of HR‐QoL allows improved understanding of experiences with ALL.ProcedureParent‐proxy and child self‐report HR‐QoL over the first year of chemotherapy were evaluated in the context of DFCI Protocol 05‐001, a phase 3 therapeutic trial for childhood ALL. HR‐QoL was assessed with the Pediatric Quality‐of‐Life inventory (PedsQL) domains for Pain and Hurt, Procedural Anxiety, Treatment Anxiety, Emotional Functioning, General Fatigue, and Sleep/Rest Fatigue.ResultsTotal of 281 subjects participated, with 141 contributing at least one child report and 280 at least one parent report. Children with ALL experienced impairment in HR‐QoL by both patient and parent report compared to the published PedsQL reference population at each time point on each subscale. Agreement between parent and child assessment of HR‐QoL impairment was high, particularly among those for whom HR‐QoL was not impaired. During the consolidation phase, which included intensive asparaginase administration, multivariable models demonstrated more impairment in Treatment Anxiety and Procedural Anxiety for children treated with intramuscular asparaginase than intravenous asparaginase, but randomized groups were otherwise similar in HR‐QoL. Impairments in fatigue, both General and Sleep/Rest, were evident throughout and worse during intensive asparaginase therapy.ConclusionsThis report examines HR‐QoL for children with ALL during treatment longitudinally by parent and patient report across multiple domains. Children with ALL demonstrated substantial impairment in HR‐QoL, particularly related to fatigue during intensive consolidation therapy including asparaginase.

AbstractThe urgent requirement for transdisciplinary water professionals who can navigate the cascading complexities of water resources in a thirsty, inequitable world is widely acknowledged. To deliver a sustainable water resources sector, current water professionals need to synthesize diverse disciplinary knowledge, develop systemic thinking capabilities, and communicate succinctly with a wide range of water practitioners, policy makers, and a wide range of other stakeholders. In a first‐of‐its‐kind program, the Indian Young Water Professionals (IYWP) training program funded by the Australian Water Partnership and supported by the National Hydrology Program, the Ministry of Jal Shakti, India, aimed to develop these capabilities. Practicing young water professionals from across multiple state water resources departments benefited from this 11‐month program delivered by the Australia India Water Centre over the course of 2022. This reflective inquiry presents the learning from this innovative professional development training program. Adapting educational evaluation conceptual frameworks on boundary‐crossing integrations, the program participants, supervisors, and designers reflect on this transdisciplinary program's epistemic, social and organizational dimensions. We asked ourselves, was this training program successful in developing transdisciplinary water professionals, and what do we need to do to design future programs? Our reflections point to the strength of the inquiry‐based learning design of the program and the Situation Understanding and Improvement Project (SUIP) with the application of the [I]NSPECT model as central in shifting entrenched disciplinary paradigmatic thinking. Underlying this success was the strong organizational network engagement and commitment from multiple sectors at multiple levels across Australia and India. A key challenge was the online delivery of this training across continents, along with an ongoing obstacle for the IYWP participants of balancing demanding professional workplace priorities with academic rigor and training expectations. The face‐to‐face Water Conclave held in Delhi in November 2022 was vital in bringing the cohort together, sharing learning, celebrating achievements, and reflecting on next iterations.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
We address the nonperturbative calculation of the inclusive decay rate of semileptonic B(s)-meson decays from lattice QCD. Precise Standard-Model predictions are key ingredients in searches for new physics, and this type of computation may eventually provide new insight into the long-standing tension between the inclusive and exclusive determinations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub|. We present results from a pilot lattice computation for Bs → Xclνl, where the initial b quark described by the relativistic-heavy-quark (RHQ) formalism on the lattice and the other valence quarks discretised with domain-wall fermions are simulated approximately at their physical quark masses. We compare two different methods for computing the decay rate from lattice data of Euclidean n-point functions, namely Chebyshev and Backus-Gilbert approaches. We further study how much the ground-state meson dominates the inclusive decay rate and indicate our strategy towards a computation with a more comprehensive systematic error budget.

AbstractEfficient workspace awareness is critical for improved interaction in cooperative and collaborative robotic applications. In addition to safety and control aspects, quality-related tasks such as the monitoring of manual activities and the final quality assessment of the results are also required. In this context, a visual quality and safety monitoring system is developed and evaluated. The system integrates close-up observation of manual activities and posture monitoring. A compact single-camera stereo vision system and a time-of-flight depth camera are used to minimize the interference of the sensors with the operator and the workplace. Data processing is based on a deep learning to detect classes related to quality and safety aspects. The operation of the system is evaluated while monitoring a human-robot manual assembly task. The results show that the system ensures a high level of safety, provides reliable visual feedback to the operator on errors in the assembly process, and inspects the finished assembly with a low critical error rate.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Two new free-living marine nematode species of genus Tripyloides were discovered in intertidal sediments along Rudong coast of the Yellow Sea and on Qi′ao Island of the South China Sea, respectively. They are described here as Tripyloides conicus sp. nov. and Tripyloides boucheri sp. nov. T. conicus sp. nov. is characterized by outer labial setae two-segments, amphideal fovea circular, buccal cavity with four chambers and with a distinct tooth at the bottom, spicules slender and straight, gubernaculum kidney-like with two lateral denticles at distal end, tail sexual dimorphism (elongated conical in males, conico-cylindrical in females). T. boucheri sp. nov. is characterized by body size small, outer labial setae stout, two-segments, amphidial fovea small, circular, narrow conical buccal cavity without distinct tooth, male with papilliform precloacal supplements, spicules slender, gubernaculum with two lateral denticles at distal end, tail conico-cylindrical and not swollen terminally. An updated dichotomous key for fifteen species of the genus is also given.

Abstract
Population connectivity has a fundamental role in metapopulation dynamics with important implications for population persistence in space and time. Oceanic islands, such as Easter Island (EI) and the Salas & Gómez Island (SG), are ideal for the study of population connectivity because they are separated by 415 km and isolated from other islands in the Pacific Ocean by >2000 km. Considering that the dispersal process could play a critical role in the persistence of their populations, we evaluated the connectivity pattern of the endemic gastropod Monetaria caputdraconis between EI and SG using population genetics and biophysical modelling. Eleven microsatellite loci did not show differences in the allelic frequency of individuals located in EI and SG, suggesting the presence of one genetic population. Historical reciprocal migration implies that 0.49% of the recruits in EI come from SG and 0.37% in SG come from EI. Considering year-round larval release and a larval development of 2 weeks in the plankton, a Lagrangian experiment based on a regional oceanic simulation indicated a weak population connectivity with a high rate of self-recruitment. Interestingly, self-recruitment showed both monthly and interannual variation ranging from 1 to 45% of returned larvae, with lower values estimated in SG compared to EI. The results suggest that few larvae/individuals arrive at each other's island, possibly due to stochastic events, such as rafting. Overall, our results indicate that both islands maintain population connectivity despite their distance; these findings have implications for designing conservation strategies in this region.

Abstract
HIV-1 molecular surveillance provides a new approach to explore transmission risks and targeted interventions. From January to June 2021, 663 newly reported HIV-1 cases were recruited in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, China. The distribution characteristics of HIV-1 subtypes and HIV-1 molecular network were analysed. Of 542 successfully subtyped samples, 12 HIV-1 strains were identified. The main strains were CRF08_BC (47.0%, 255/542), CRF01_AE (17.0%, 92/542), CRF07_BC (17.0%, 92/542), URFs (8.7%, 47/542), and CRF85_BC (6.5%, 35/542). CRF08_BC was commonly detected among Zhaotong natives, illiterates, and non-farmers and was mostly detected in Zhaoyang County. CRF01_AE was frequently detected among married and homosexual individuals and mostly detected in Weixin and Zhenxiong counties. Among the 516 pol sequences, 187 (36.2%) were clustered. Zhaotong natives, individuals aged ≥60 years, and illiterate individuals were more likely to be found in the network. Assortativity analysis showed that individuals were more likely to be genetically associated when stratified by age, education level, occupation, and reporting area. The genetic diversity of HIV-1 reflects the complexity of local HIV epidemics. Molecular network analyses revealed the subpopulations to focus on and the characteristics of the risk networks. The results will help optimise local prevention and control strategies.
Personalentwicklung meets Praxisentwicklung

Published: July 2023

Was ist zu diesem Thema bereits bekannt? Praxisentwicklung findet in Deutschland oftmals unsystematisch statt. Es droht die Gefahr, dass Praxisentwicklungsprojekte scheitern und die Akteure frustrieren. Wie wird eine neue Perspektive eingebracht? Praxisentwicklung benötigt bestimmte Personalstrukturen. In der aktuellen Literatur (Weidner & Schubert, 2022) werden hierfür zwei Rollenprofile empfohlen, die im ZfP Emmendingen bereits 2018 im Rahmen des Strategie-Konzept Pflege 3.0© eingeführt wurden. Was sind die Auswirkungen für die Praxis? Die Integration der Rollenprofile Pflegefachverantwortliche auf Stationsebene und Pflegeexpert_innen auf Klinikebene bewirkt, dass Praxisentwicklungsprojekte im Sinne der befähigenden Begleitung (Facilitation) in der operativen Pflegepraxis kontinuierlich und nachhaltig umgesetzt werden.

AbstractThere is poor knowledge about the clinical effects of Lewy body (LB) pathology in patients with cognitive impairment, especially when coexisting with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology (amyloid-β and tau). Using a seed amplification assay, we analyzed cerebrospinal fluid for misfolded LB-associated α-synuclein in 883 memory clinic patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia from the BioFINDER study. Twenty-three percent had LB pathology, of which only 21% fulfilled clinical criteria of Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies at baseline. Among these LB-positive patients, 48% had AD pathology. Fifty-four percent had AD pathology in the whole sample (17% of mild cognitive impairment and 24% of patients with dementia were also LB-positive). When examining independent cross-sectional effects, LB pathology but not amyloid-β or tau, was associated with hallucinations and worse attention/executive, visuospatial and motor function. LB pathology was also associated with faster longitudinal decline in all examined cognitive functions, independent of amyloid-β, tau, cognitive stage and a baseline diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies/Parkinson’s disease. LB status provides a better precision-medicine approach to predict clinical trajectories independent of AD biomarkers and a clinical diagnosis, which could have implications for the clinical management of cognitive impairment and the design of AD and LB drug trials.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on wildlife–aircraft collisions at US airports

Published: July 2023

AbstractExploiting unprecedented reductions in aircraft movements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated the relationship between air traffic volume and the frequency of wildlife-aircraft collisions, or wildlife strikes, at the 50 largest airports in the United States. During the COVID-19 months of 2020 (March–December), both air traffic volume and the absolute number of wildlife strikes were reduced. The net effect of these two movements, however, was an increase in the wildlife strike rate from May 2020–September 2020. This increase was found to be most pronounced at airports with larger relative declines in air traffic volume. We concluded that the observed increase in the wildlife strike rate was, at least in part, generated by risk-enhancing changes in wildlife abundance and behavior within the airport environment. That is, wildlife became more abundant and active at airports in response to declines in air traffic volume.
Perspectives and opinions from scientific leaders on the evolution of data-independent acquisition for quantitative proteomics and novel biological applications
Authors: Hunter Christie L. , Bons Joanna , Schilling Birgit 
Published: July 2023

The methodology of data-independent acquisition (DIA) within mass spectrometry (MS) was developed into a method of choice for quantitative proteomics, to capture the depth and dynamics of biological systems, and to perform large-scale protein quantification. DIA provides deep quantitative proteome coverage with high sensitivity, high quantitative accuracy, and excellent acquisition-to-acquisition reproducibility. DIA workflows benefited from the latest advancements in MS instrumentation, acquisition/isolation schemes, and computational algorithms, which have further improved data quality and sample throughput. This powerful DIA-MS scan type selects all precursor ions contained in pre-determined isolation windows, and systematically fragments all precursor ions from each window by tandem mass spectrometry, subsequently covering the entire precursor ion m/z range. Comprehensive proteolytic peptide identification and label-free quantification are achieved post-acquisition using spectral library-based or library-free approaches. To celebrate the > 10 years of success of this quantitative DIA workflow, we interviewed some of the scientific leaders who have provided crucial improvements to DIA, to the quantification accuracy and proteome depth achieved, and who have explored DIA applications across a wide range of biology. We discuss acquisition strategies that improve specificity using different isolation schemes, and that reduce complexity by combining DIA with sophisticated chromatography or ion mobility separation. Significant leaps forward were achieved by evolving data processing strategies, such as library-free processing, and machine learning to interrogate data more deeply. Finally, we highlight some of the diverse biological applications that use DIA-MS methods, including large-scale quantitative proteomics, post-translational modification studies, single-cell analysis, food science, forensics, and small molecule analysis.

Abstract
The article presents an Arduino-based lux meter for measuring light intensity passing through sunglasses to analyse its polarisation ability using Malus’s law. The experiment uses a rotationable polariser film with its degree tester as the first polariser. The fixed sunglasses are the second polariser. The background light intensity is measured by the GY-30 module light sensor. The experiment is provided for first-year university science students. The students can vary the angles between the transmission axes of the first polariser and the sunglasses, and then observe the light intensity from the lux meter. We found that the laboratory demonstrated highly accurate values for the used sunglasses.

Abstract
The high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharge brings about increased ionization of the sputtered atoms due to an increased electron density and efficient electron energization during the active period of the pulse. The ionization is effective mainly within the electron trapping zone, an ionization region (IR), defined by the magnet configuration. Here, the average extension and the volume of the IR are determined based on measuring the optical emission from an excited level of the argon working gas atoms. For particular HiPIMS conditions, argon species ionization and excitation processes are assumed to be proportional. Hence, the light emission from certain excited atoms is assumed to reflect the IR extension. The light emission was recorded above a 100 mm diameter titanium target through a 763 nm bandpass filter using a gated camera. The recorded images directly indicate the effect of the magnet configuration on the average IR size. It is observed that the shape of the IR matches the shape of the magnetic field lines rather well. The IR is found to expand from 10 and 17 mm from the target surface when the parallel magnetic field strength 11 mm above the racetrack is lowered from 24 to 12 mT at a constant peak discharge current.
