AbstractExcessive screen time among adolescents is discussed as a significant public health concern. Identifying adolescent longitudinal patterns of time spent on regularly-used media screens and understanding their young adulthood mental health and behavioral issue correlates may help inform strategies for improving these outcomes. This study aimed to characterize joint developmental patterns of time spent on videogames, surfing/chatting the Internet, and TV/DVDs during adolescence (at ages 11, 13, 15, 17) and their associations with mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-injury) and behavioral issues (i.e., substance use, delinquency, aggression) in early adulthood (at age 20). A parallel-process latent class growth analysis was used to model data from a diverse community-ascertained sample of youth in Zurich, Switzerland (n = 1521; 51.7% males). Results suggested that a five-class model best fitted the data: (1) low-screen use, 37.6%; (2) increasing chatting/surfing, 24.0%; (3) moderate-screen use, 18.6%; (4) early-adolescence screen use, 9.9%; and (5) increasing videogame and chatting/surfing, 9.9%. After adjusting for baseline levels of outcomes (primarily at age 11), the trajectory groups differed in their associations with adulthood outcomes of mental health and behavioral problems, indicating the importance of problematic screen usage patterns in predicting these outcomes. Future research to test the directionality of these associations will be important. These findings suggest which patterns of screen use may be a marker for later mental health and behavioral issues in different domains.

AbstractBoric acid is a significant radioactive waste generated during the operation of nuclear power plants. Cementitious materials have been widely studied for the immobilization of boric acid. The generally used natural boric acid has been replaced by enriched boric acid for geochemical reasons and are expected to have varied behaviors in cementitious matrices. Results showed that simulated enriched/natural boric acid liquid wastes mostly contain boron in $${\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})}_{4}^{-}$$

The relationship between autonomy support and structure in early childhood nature-based settings: Practices and challenges
Authors: Arvanitis Alexios , Barrable Alexia , Touloumakos Anna Κ. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractFrom a Self-Determination Theory perspective, children are expected to grow according to innate tendencies in supportive environments, such as nature-based educational settings. The role of the practitioner is generally viewed as facilitative in these contexts. We report findings from a qualitative study with a sample of 18 UK-based outdoor educational practitioners. We asked them to respond to four hypothetical situations with differing levels of required intervention. Our purpose was to examine the extent of autonomy support and structure that they would hypothetically provide to the children in each of these different scenarios, and even uncover possible tensions in the application of autonomy support and structure. Our analysis suggests that, in situations of low interventional requirement, practitioners could understate structure and autonomy support and, in situations of high interventional requirement, prioritize structure over autonomy support. The challenge for practitioners that was revealed in this research, as well its implications, are discussed.
Desire and motivation in desire theories of well-being
Authors: Mariqueo-Russell Atus 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDesire theories of well-being claim that how well our life goes for us is solely determined by the fulfilment and frustration of our desires. Several writers have argued that these theories are incorrect because they fail to capture the harms of self-sacrifice and severe depression. In this paper, I argue that desire theories of well-being can account for the harm of both phenomena by rejecting proportionalism about desire and motivation. This is the view that desires always motivate proportionally to their strength. If we reject this view, then we can explain the harm of many cases of self-sacrifice as arising when we act upon our weaker desires and thereby frustrate our stronger desires. Moreover, the harm of many cases of severe depression can be explained by its suppression of the motivational force of desires. This inevitably frustrates desires that we are left unmotivated to fulfil. I argue that this approach captures the experiential quality of self-sacrifice and severe depression better than rival views that seek to problematise these phenomena for desire theories of well-being. Moreover, these theories have sufficient conceptual resources to account for residual cases of self-sacrifice and severe depression that are less well explained by this approach.
Borane derivatives of five-membered N-heterocyclic rings as frustrated Lewis pairs: activation of CO2
Authors: Ferrer Maxime , Alkorta Ibon , Oliva-Enrich Josep M. , Elguero José 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe reaction of seventeen borane derivatives of five-membered N-heterocyclic rings (BNHRs) with CO2has been studied by means of DFT calculations. Several non-covalent complexes between the BNHRs and CO2which evolve through a TS in a single adduct for each BNHR have been identified. The calculated IRC of the TS has allowed to identify the non-covalent complex involved in the reaction in each case. The stationary points of the reactions have been analyzed with the distortion/interaction partition model. In addition, empirical models have been attempted to correlate the acid (fluoride ion affinity) and basic (proton affinity) properties of the isolated BNHR with the TS barriers and adduct energies. The energetics of the reactions are influenced by the number of nitrogen atoms in the ring.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Purpose

To describe the temporal association between leg movements (LMs) and respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to quantify the difference in scoring respiratory-related leg movement (RRLM) between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criterion and the criterion recommended by the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM).

Methods
Patients with OSA who presented with > 10 LMs of any type per hour of sleep were included in this study. For each participant, RRLMs were scored using both the AASM criterion and the recommended WASM criterion. The occurrence of LMs in relation to respiratory events and the difference in scoring RRLM between the AASM criterion and the criterion recommended by the WASM were quantified.

Results
In 32 patients enrolled, mean age was 48.1 ± 11.0 years and 78% were men. LMs were significantly more frequent after respiratory events, followed by before respiratory events, and were rare during respiratory events (P < 0.01). Compared with the AASM criterion, more LMs were classified as RRLMs based on the recommended WASM criterion (P = 0.01).

Conclusion
LMs are more frequent after respiratory events than before and during respiratory events, and more LMs are scored as RRLMs based on the recommended WASM criterion than based on the AASM criterion.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe reduction in agricultural production due to the negative impact of insects and weeds, as well as the health and economic burden associated with vector-borne diseases, has promoted the wide use of chemicals that control these “enemies.” However, the use of these synthetic chemicals has been recognized to elicit negative impacts on the environment as well as the health and wellbeing of man. In this study, we presented an overview of recent updates on the environmental and health impacts of synthetic pesticides against agro-pest and disease vectors while exhaustive reviewing the potentials of natural plant products from Zanthoxylum species (Rutaceae) as sustainable alternatives. This study is expected to spur further research on exploiting these plants and their chemicals as safe and effective pesticide entities to minimize the impact of their chemical and synthetic counterparts on health and the environment.

Sleep Apnea, Obesity, and Diabetes — an Intertwined Trio
Authors: Kurnool Soumya , McCowen Karen C. , Bernstein Nicole A. , Malhotra Atul 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
To synthesize the existing literature regarding the complex interplay between sleep disturbance, obesity, and diabetes. The review emphasizes the three pillars of health being diet, exercise, and sleep, with the notion that if one is ignored, then the other two could suffer.

Recent Findings
Sleep deprivation is associated with incident obesity, perhaps mediated by dysregulation in leptin and ghrelin — hormones important in regulation of appetite. Sleep apnea is very common particularly among obese people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment of sleep apnea has clear symptomatic benefits although its impact on long-term cardiometabolic health is less clear.

Summary
Sleep disturbance may be an important modifiable risk for patients at risk of cardiometabolic disease. An assessment of sleep health may be an important component of the comprehensive care of patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus.

AbstractIn the present study, the effects of orange peel essential oils (EOs) on the physiochemical, rheological, particle size and zeta potential distribution of the developed aloe vera gel-based edible coating were investigated. We also investigated the effects of prepared aloe vera gel-based edible coating (with or without incorporation of orange peel essential oil) on the postharvest shelf life and characteristics such as physiological loss of weight (PLW), color, respiration rate, firmness, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial activity of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) at 4 °C during 16 days of storage. The results revealed that the 50% concentration of aloe vera gel-based edible coating without addition of essential oil had significantly superior properties with higher stability zeta potential (− 9.7 mV) as compared to other concentrations of aloe vera gel-based formulation. It also showed the highest potential to maintain the postharvest quality attributes of mushrooms throughout storage. The maximum concentration of orange peel essential oil (1500 µL/L) incorporated in the 50% aloe vera gel (F3)-based treatment significantly improved the postharvest quality attributes of mushrooms as compared to coating prepared with incorporation of 500 µL/L and 1000 µL/L concentration of EOs (orange peel essential oils) and helped extend the shelf life of mushrooms up to 4 days as compared to the control (50% AV (aloe vera gel) only). Further research should be performed to develop water and gas barrier composite edible coatings to further extend mushroom shelf life.

The Two Emergencies of Migrant-Related Policies in Italy During the First Wave of COVID-19: the Spread of the Virus and the Workforce Shortages
Authors: Montagna Nicola 
Published: May 2023

AbstractItaly was the first European country touched by COVID-19 and one of the most severely affected, with a death toll that overtook China’s by mid-March 2020. As a result, lockdown measures aiming to mitigate — and eventually interrupt — the spread of COVID-19 proliferated during the first wave of the pandemic. The vast majority of these concerned the resident population, regardless of their status or country of origin, and mainly involved the closure of public offices and proscription of private activities with the aim of reducing mobility and social and physical contacts. Only a few concerned the foreign population and arriving irregular migrants. This article analyses migrant-related policy measures taken by the Italian government during the first wave of the pandemic that aimed to prevent infection and reduce the impact of COVID-19 among the population. These measures addressed two emergencies: the spread of COVID-19 that hit the resident population hard, regardless of origin or nationality, and the workforce shortages in some key economic sectors with a high number of irregular migrant workers. The former aimed at containing the spread of the virus (sections 4 and 5) and targeted foreigners already residing in Italy as well as irregular migrants arriving along the Mediterranean route; the latter aimed at addressing workforce shortages (section 6) as a result of borders that were closed to external seasonal migration. This article is a contribution to the debate on changes to migration and migrant policy, and how these impacted on migration and foreign populations during the pandemic.

Mission design for point-to-point passenger transport with reusable launch vehicles
Authors: Wilken Jascha , Callsen Steffen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWith the progress of SpaceX’s Starship system, a fully reusable launch system appears possible in the near future. With this technological advance, a new class of transport missions could become economically feasible: Rocket-propelled transport of passengers and cargo at near-orbital speeds from one point on the Earth to another. This mission type is investigated for two reference vehicles: Starship from SpaceX and the SpaceLiner concept, developed by DLR-SART. For both vehicles, the properties during reentry are assessed and the impact on the descent trajectory is investigated, including parametric studies with regard to the effect of launch heading and crossrange capability. While the SpaceLiner upper stage relies on its high hypersonic L/D to cover the majority of the distance in quasi-stationary flight within the atmosphere, the Starship relies mostly on a ballistic flight path at higher altitudes. The flight within the upper layers of the atmosphere allows the SpaceLiner to change its heading mid-flight through banking maneuvers and thus efficiently curve around populated areas. However, this prolonged flight at high velocities within the upper atmosphere does necessitate active cooling of the leading edges. An exemplary mission from Shanghai to California is optimized for both reference vehicles, with the optimization target being minimal peak heat loads. Due to the Starship’s reliance on the ballistic portion of its flight to cover range, the peak heat flux is substantially higher on westward missions, compared to the eastward return flight.
Awareness of intratumoral bacteria and their potential application in cancer treatment
Authors: Liang Yin , Li Qiyan , Liu Yulin , Guo Yajie , Li Qingjiao 
Published: May 2023

AbstractHitherto, the recognition of the microbiota role in tumorigenesis and clinical studies mostly focused on the intestinal flora. In contrast to the gut microbiome, microorganisms resident in tumor tissue are in close contact with cancer cells and therefore have the potential to have similar or even different functional patterns to the gut flora. Some investigations have shown intratumoral bacteria, which might come from commensal microbiota in mucosal areas including the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity, or from nearby normal tissues. The existence, origin, and interactions of intratumoral bacteria with the tumor microenvironment all contribute to intratumoral microorganism heterogeneity. Intratumoral bacteria have a significant role in tumor formation. They can contribute to cancer at the genetic level by secreting poisons that directly damage DNA and also intimately related to immune system response at the systemic level. Intratumoral bacteria have an impact on chemotherapy and immunotherapy in cancer. Importantly, various properties of bacteria such as targeting and ease of modification make them powerful candidates for precision therapy, and combining microbial therapies with other therapies is expected to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment. In this review, we mainly described the heterogeneity and potential sources of intratumoral bacteria, overviewed the important mechanisms by which they were involved in tumor progression, and summarized their potential value in oncology therapy. At last, we highlight the problems of research in this field, and look forward to a new wave of studies using the various applications of intratumoral microorganisms in cancer therapy.
Attitudes towards single parents’ children in private and state-dependent private schools: experimental evidence
Authors: Diaz-Serrano Luis , Flamand Sabine 
Published: May 2023

AbstractSingle parenthood is on the rise worldwide. While acceptance of single-parent households is increasing, some authors point out that single-parent families still suffer from negative societal attitudes compared to heterosexual two-parent families, while also being among the most vulnerable groups of society. Motivated by these findings, we study whether private and state-dependent private schools in Catalonia (Spain) are more reluctant to interact with single parents than with heterosexual couples. We conduct a field experiment during the children’s pre-registration period. We create three types of fictitious families (heterosexual couple, single mother, and single father) and send e-mails to schools in which the family structure is made explicit. Our results indicate that schools are more prone to interact with single parents than with heterosexual couples.
Estimating vertiport passenger throughput capacity for prominent eVTOL designs
Authors: Preis Lukas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractUrban Air Mobility has the potential to substantially reduce travel times in some cases of urban-related transportation. Travel time savings strongly depend on fast processing at vertiports, which presents a key challenge considering demand levels’ vertiports would experience when becoming an established mode of transport. This article sheds light on the passenger throughput vertiport airfields can manage and how the operations are sensitive to changes. One main contribution of this article is the introduction of hourly passenger throughput per area as a performance indicator that allows to compare vertiports of different sizes. VoloCity is studied as a reference vehicle and the resulting space requirement of the carefully specified baseline scenario is 188 square-meters per passenger per hour. A total of 13 prominent eVTOL designs are included in the study from which the current design space between maximum vehicle dimension and number of seats is deducted. The study shows that vehicles with a small maximum dimension yield the highest passenger throughput capacity. CityAirbus performs best (46.3 m2/PAX/h) with a diameter of 7.92 m and Archer Maker performs worst (221 m2/PAX/h) with a diameter of 12.2 m. How the performance indicators can be used as rules-of-thumb in the first-order estimations of vertiport throughput capacity or space requirement is described by means of illustrative examples. The insights presented in this paper might be useful for researches, vehicle developers, and municipalities alike.
