Functionspaces, simplicity and curve fitting
Authors: Bonk Thomas 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe number of adjustable parameters in a model or hypothesis is often taken as the formal expression of its simplicity. I take issue with this `definition´ and argue that comparative simplicity has a quasi-empirical measure, reflecting experts’ judgements who track past use of a model-type in or across domains. Since models are represented by restricted sets of functions in a suitable space, formally speaking, a general `measure of simplicity´ may be defined implicitly for the elements of a function space. This paper sketches such a framework starting from intuitive constraints. It is shown how experts’ judgements feed into this framework and how the usual definition can be recovered. A theorem by H. Akaike in the theory of model-choice has recently been used to shine new light on the relationship between the demand for simplicity and empirical success, or even `truth´. The approach favored here permits an alternative answer based on a reliabilist account of justification: if judgements of simplicity track past successful use of a model-type comparative simplicity is evidential and inductive.
Care and anger motives in social dilemmas
Authors: Ring Patrick , Schütt Christoph A. , Snower Dennis J. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper provides evidence for the following novel insights: (1) People’s economic decisions depend on their psychological motives, which are shaped predictably by the social context. (2) In particular, the social context influences people’s other-regarding preferences, their beliefs and their perceptions. (3) The influence of the social context on psychological motives can be measured experimentally by priming two antagonistic motives—care and anger—in one player towards another by means of an observance or a violation of a fairness norm. Using a mediation approach, we find that the care motive leads to higher levels of cooperation which are driven by more optimistic beliefs, a different perception of the game as well as by a shift towards more pro-social preferences.
When is the Porous, Laminar Flow Problem with Slip Condition Well Posed? And Where Does the Solution Lie?
Authors: Hao Ming L. , Tisdell Christopher C. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe aim of this article is to advance the current state of knowledge for steady, isothermal, incompressible, laminar flow within a channel featuring a non-zero tangential (or slip) velocity at the permeable walls. There has been significant interest in understanding the solutions to these problems. However, a firm mathematical understanding of the solutions to the slip problem and their properties is yet to be fully developed. For example, we still do not know: if the slip problem is well-posed; where the precise solution lies; if and how approximations converge to the solution; and what the estimates on approximation errors are. Herein we formulate a new mathematical foundation that includes existence; uniqueness; location; approximation; convergence and error estimates. Our strategy involves developing insight via new and interesting connections between the boundary value problem arising from modelling the laminar flow with slip velocity, and the theory of fixed points of operators.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
Breast cancer risk models guide screening and chemoprevention decisions, but the extent and effect of variability among models, particularly at the individual level, is uncertain.

Objective
To quantify the accuracy and disagreement between commonly used risk models in categorizing individual women as average vs. high risk for developing invasive breast cancer.

Design
Comparison of three risk prediction models: Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) model, and International Breast Intervention Study (IBIS) model.

Subjects
Women 40 to 74 years of age presenting for screening mammography at a multisite health system between 2011 and 2015, with 5-year follow-up for cancer outcome.

Main Measures
Comparison of model discrimination and calibration at the population level and inter-model agreement for 5-year breast cancer risk at the individual level using two cutoffs (≥ 1.67% and ≥ 3.0%).

Key Results
A total of 31,115 women were included. When using the ≥ 1.67% threshold, more than 21% of women were classified as high risk for developing breast cancer in the next 5 years by one model, but average risk by another model. When using the ≥ 3.0% threshold, more than 5% of women had disagreements in risk severity between models. Almost half of the women (46.6%) were classified as high risk by at least one of the three models (e.g., if all three models were applied) for the threshold of ≥ 1.67%, and 11.1% were classified as high risk for ≥ 3.0%. All three models had similar accuracy at the population level.

Conclusions
Breast cancer risk estimates for individual women vary substantially, depending on which risk assessment model is used. The choice of cutoff used to define high risk can lead to adverse effects for screening, preventive care, and quality of life for misidentified individuals. Clinicians need to be aware of the high false-positive and false-negative rates and variation between models when talking with patients.

AbstractCommunity-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) represents one of the first causes of hospitalization and death in the elderly all over the world and weighs heavily on public health system. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 (CoronaVirus Disease-19) pandemic, everybody’s behavior was forced to change, as the result of a global lockdown strategy and the obligation of using personal protection equipment (PPE). We aimed to evaluate how the mitigation strategies adopted to fight SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus Syndrome 2) infection have influenced hospitalizations due to CAP in two different Local Health Boards (LHBs) of central Italy. We considered two main periods of observation: before and after the national start of lockdown, in two Abruzzo’s LHBs. We analyzed 19,558 hospital discharge records of bacterial and viral CAP. Excluding SARS-CoV2 infection, a significant decrease in CAP hospitalizations was observed. Through the analysis of Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) values, we highlighted a significant saving of founds for the Regional Health Service. The enactment of social distancing measures to contain COVID-19 spread, brought down admissions for bacterial and viral pneumonia. Our study emphasizes that costs for hospitalizations due to CAP could be drastically reduced by mask wearing and social distancing.
Stiff-PDEs and Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Published: February 2023

AbstractIn recent years, physics-informed neural networks (PINN) have been used to solve stiff-PDEs mostly in the 1D and 2D spatial domain. PINNs still experience issues solving 3D problems, especially, problems with conflicting boundary conditions at adjacent edges and corners. These problems have discontinuous solutions at edges and corners that are difficult to learn for neural networks with a continuous activation function. In this review paper, we have investigated various PINN frameworks that are designed to solve stiff-PDEs. We took two heat conduction problems (2D and 3D) with a discontinuous solution at corners as test cases. We investigated these problems with a number of PINN frameworks, discussed and analysed the results against the FEM solution. It appears that PINNs provide a more general platform for parameterisation compared to conventional solvers. Thus, we have investigated the 2D heat conduction problem with parametric conductivity and geometry separately. We also discuss the challenges associated with PINNs and identify areas for further investigation.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
Lipid disorders are now considered causal for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) which remains one of the most important contributors to morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Identification and early treatment of lipid disarrays remains the cornerstone of good clinical practice to prevent, halt and even reverse ASCVD. Guidelines for lipid management are imperative to help promote good clinical practice. Given the detail involved in comprehensive guidelines and the multiple areas of knowledge required by clinical practitioners, abbreviated, easy to understand, practical versions of guidelines are required to ensure dissemination of the most important information. The recent ESC lipid guidelines 2019 and the ESC guidelines on CVD prevention in clinical practice 2021 (1,2), provide an excellent detailed summary of all the latest evidence supporting lipid interventions that reduce ASCVD.

Method
We therefore developed a single-page document with hyperlinks to help practitioners gain easy access to practical information on lipid management. It has been developed for future electronic use in clinical practice.

Conclusion
It is presented here in a tabular format together with printable versions of the associated hyperlinks that provide the additional information required in decision making. It is hoped to audit the impact of this approach to help guide future ways of disseminating the latest clinical guideline updates.
Arsenic and Boron in Felsic Rocks: A Review
Authors: Mueller Barbara 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Despite the fact that arsenic contamination of groundwater used as drinking water in various countries in South East Asia leads to adverse health effects there is so far hardly any evidence found where this highly poisonous element originally is derived from. So far, basic or ultrabasic rocks found in the Himalayas have been outlined as a possible source of As. However, an other possible source found ubiquitously in the Himalayas have been completely underestimated as a source of As: Felsic and peraluminous rocks often being formed during uplift. Hence As analyzed in ground-water (with the focus on the Terai of Nepal) is mostly conjoined with boron, it appears obvious to look for a common source. Owing to this observation that this two trace elements (among others) reflect the origin of the As and B in the high Himalayas, it seems clearly warranted to review the origin of both elements regarding their origin in felsic rocks.
Avalanche Hazards Around Kedarnath Temple, Mandakini River Valley, Uttarakhand – A Case Study
Authors: Sain Kalachand , Mehta Manish , Kumar Vinit 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The Shri Kedarnath town is located in the western extremity of the Central Himalaya (30°44'6.7" N; 79°04'1"E) in the Mandakini River valley. This has a total catchment area of ~67 km2 (up to Rambara), out of which 23% area is covered by glaciers. In September 2022, avalanches were observed repeatedly in the mountains to the north of Kedarnath town. Based on aerial survey and ground observations of the area around Kedarnath, we found that the avalanches initiated ~6 km (Aerial distance) uphill of the Kedarnath Temple from the peaks of the Mahalaya Parvat (5970 m asl) of the Companion Glacier adjacent to the Chorabari Glacier. The Companion Glacier does not have a well-defined accumulation zone but receives accumulation mostly from the avalanches. The run-out and deposition zones of the avalanches are located ~5 km uphill of the Kedarnath Temple. The avalanche activity thus poses no threat to the Kedarnath Temple and township. In addition, fifteen avalanche sites (A1-A15) have been identified based on slope morphology, grass clearing, the presence of snow drifts, and debris cones in the area. We observed that the Temple of Shri Kedarnath Complex is located at a reasonably safe place as far as avalanche hazards are concerned.
Evolution and Evaluation of Coal-bed Methane in Cambay Basin, Western India: Insights from Stable Isotopic and Molecular Composition

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Owing to a rapid rate of depletion of conventional energy resources and to keep pace with the ever increasing energy demand, scientists all over the world are looking for some alternate source. Coal bed methane (CBM) is one of them. With the discovery of coalbed gas from an oil and gas producing basin- the San Juan basin in Colorado and New Mexico by AMOCO in early 1980’s, the attention of world-wide hydrocarbon industry shifted to evaluation of CBM potential of Tertiary basins. The Tertiary Cambay basin in Gujarat is a known onland hydrocarbon province of India and has been producing oil since 1958. During drilling for petroleum, thick Eocene coal seams are encountered at varied depths in Mehsana area and further north. In 2004, few coalbed methane (CBM) blocks were awarded in northern Cambay basin and contagious Barmer Basin. The present paper entails the results of investigation carried out for CBM in the deep-seated coals of Sanchore and Tharad area in north Cambay basin. The methane content of the desorbed gases varies from 20-68%. The stable carbon isotope study (δ13C) shows that the desorbed gas is dominantly biogenic but the compositional analysis of desorbed gas reveals significant fractions of ethane (C2) and butane (C3) indicating the gases to be of mixed origin. Further, presence of high CO2 content is observed which varies from 20-45% of the total volume of desorbed gas. The estimated mean CBM resource of the study area is ~ 46 billion cubic meters.
Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and Surface Water Quality Assessment in and around Selected Dams of Jharkhand using Water Quality Index (WQI) and Geographic Information System (GIS)

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Surface water quality deterioration is mainly occurring due to anthropogenic activities at an alarming rate in developing countries. Jharkhand has been undergoing exponential urbanisation and mining, causing immense surface water pollution and water stress. The state is heavily dependent on artificial dams for its daily water supply demands. Therefore, an effort is made to monitor and ascertain the surface water quality and the influence of nearby land use pattern on water quality, in the selected five dams, namely, Hatia dam, Kanke dam, Getalsud dam, Galudih barrage, and Chandil dam are done. These dams are built on the Subarnarekha river basin, located in the Jharkhand state on a seasonal basis and associated land use land cover (LULC) changes, changes in vegetation cover using normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and water body changes using normalised difference water index (NDWI) that have occurred in a 5-year gap i.e. 2016 and 2021. The secondary data for the year 2016 was obtained from the Jharkhand pollution control board report published by the government of Jharkhand, India. For the year 2021, the samples were collected from sampling sites for pre, post and monsoon seasons. The chemical analysis of collected water samples was done in the laboratory for parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, total calcium and magnesium, hardness, total dissolved and suspended solids, alkalinity, chlorine etc. and compared with the standard values prescribed by world health organisation (WHO) and Indian standards (IS) 10500:2012. The seasonal water quality status was analysed using the water quality index (WQI) for the pre, post and monsoon seasons of 2016 and 2021. Then, the use of supervised classification method for land use land cover (LULC), normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalised difference water index (NDWI) was opted to understand the relation between the change in water quality and quantity concerning its land use and land cover, by comparison of results from the year 2016 to 2021. LULC were found using the supervised maximum likelihood classification method in ArcGIS and its accuracy was checked using the kappa accuracy method, which was found to be varying from 87 to 95% for all sites. The results showed that the overall water quality varied from good to poor indicating that it can be used for human activities but may need pre-treatment before drinking. NDWI showed a massive increase in severe drought areas for Hatia, Kanke, Chandil and Galudih barrage, whereas moderate drought regions increased for Hatia, Getalsud, and Kanke. NDVI showed dense and moderate vegetation both decreased massively for all the dam sites indicating an alarming situation and the need to adopt better land management practices.

Abstract

Purpose of Review
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the menopause-related changes in microbiota and their role in the pathogenesis of menopause-related diseases. In addition, evidence on probiotic supplementation as a therapeutic strategy is discussed.

Recent Findings
The human microbiota is a complex community that lives in a mutualism relationship with the host. Menopause is associated with dysbiosis, and these changes in the composition of microbiota in different sites (gut, vaginal, and oral microbiota) might play a role in the pathogenesis of menopause-related diseases (i.e., osteoporosis, breast cancer, endometrial hyperplasia, periodontitis, and cardiometabolic diseases).

Summary
The present review highlights the pivotal role of microbiota in postmenopausal women health, in particular it (a) may increase intestinal calcium absorption thus preventing osteoporosis, (b) is associated with reduced risk of breast cancer and type 1 endometrial hyperplasia, (c) reduces gingival inflammation and menopausal periodontitis, and (d) beneficially affects multiple cardiometabolic risk factors (i.e., obesity, inflammation, and blood glucose and lipid metabolism). However, whether oral probiotic supplementation might be used for the treatment of menopause-related dysbiosis requires further clarification.
A Vulnerability Assessment Framework for Cultural Heritage Sites: The Case of the Roman Ruins of Tróia
Authors: Ravan Marvin , Revez Maria João , Pinto Inês Vaz , Brum Patrícia , Birkmann Joern 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis article contributes to developing an indicator-based vulnerability assessment framework for cultural heritage sites. It provides a vulnerability index for heritage sites potentially exposed to multiple hazards, including sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, while considering climate change influences. Through determining particular criteria and indicators, the Cultural Heritage Vulnerability Index incorporates structural and non-structural factors of the heritage site and its local and national settings. The assessment procedure was applied to the case of the Roman Ruins of Tróia in Portugal. The findings highlight those areas of sensitivity (e.g., the existing deterioration patterns and types of foundation) and coping and adaptive capacities (e.g., institutional setting and response plan) that significantly contribute to the level of vulnerability and risk. The results of vulnerability assessment will further enable determining priorities and developing risk mitigation and preparedness measures, in particular reducing structural sensitivity and promoting coping capacities.
Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation and Their Linkages with Sustainable Development over the Past 30 Years: A Review

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe severe damage and impacts caused by extreme events in a changing climate will not only make the sustainable development goals difficult to achieve, but also erode the hard-won development gains of the past. This article reviews the major impacts and challenges of disaster and climate change risks on sustainable development, and summarizes the courses and linkages of disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA), and sustainable development over the past 30 years. Our findings show that the conceptual development of DRR actions has gone through three general phases: disaster management in the 1990s, risk management in the 2000s, and resilient management and development in the 2010s. Gradually, CCA has been widely implemented to overcome the adverse effects of climate change. A framework is proposed for tackling climate change and disaster risks in the context of resilient, sustainable development, indicating that CCA is not a subset of DRR while they have similarities and differences in their scope and emphasis. It is crucial to transform governance mechanisms at different levels, so as to integrate CCA and DRR to reduce disaster and climate change risks, and achieve safe growth and a resilient future in the era of the Anthropocene.
