AbstractBackgroundSleep disorders are prevalent after stroke, resulting in high recurrence rates and mortality. But the biomarkers of sleep disorders in stroke patients remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore the relationship between total bilirubin‐to‐uric acid ratio (TUR) and sleep quality after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).MethodsThree hundred twenty‐six AIS patients were recruited and followed up 1 month after stroke in our study. Serum total bilirubin and uric acid levels were obtained within 24 h after admission. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality 1 month after stroke. We conducted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and screened the optimal biomarker to differentiate sleep disorders after stroke. Then the TUR was stratified according to the best cut‐off value (0.036) of the ROC and further analysed by binary logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the interaction was used to explore the difference in its effect on post‐stroke sleep quality in different subgroups.ResultsThree hundred thirty‐one patients (40.2%) were considered as having poor sleep quality during the one‐month follow‐up. Compared to patients with good sleep, patients with poor sleep were more likely to have higher TUR (IQR), 0.05 (0.03–0.06) versus 0.03 (0.02–0.04), P < 0.001. After adjusting for confounding factors, binary regression analysis demonstrated that a high TUR (≥0.036) was independently related to post‐stroke poor sleep quality (OR = 3.75, 95% CI = 2.02–6.96, P < 0.001).ConclusionsHigh TUR is associated with an increased risk of poor sleep quality in AIS patients, especially in females, diabetics, and patients with hyperlipidaemia.

AbstractThe gold mineralization at the Tau deposit in northeastern Botswana can be distinguished into two stages. The first stage of mineralization consists of invisible gold associated with early, sulfur‐rich arsenopyrite (Apy1). The second stage is characterized by native gold associated with late, sulfur‐poor arsenopyrite (Apy2). This study aims to constrain the nature of the ore‐forming fluid at the Tau deposit on the basis of fluid inclusion microthermometry and arsenopyrite geothermometry. Quartz crystals closely associated with gold‐bearing sulfides (Apy1) from the host rock host three types of fluid inclusions occurring in the same assemblages: Type I, two‐phase aqueous fluid inclusions, Type II three‐phase aqueous‐carbonic fluid inclusions and Type III one‐ or two‐phase CO2‐rich fluid inclusions. Microthermometric and Raman spectroscopic studies revealed the dominance of coexisting H2O+NaCl (Type I) and CO2N2CH4 (Type III) fluid inclusions. The coexisting Type I and Type III fluid inclusions could represent products of the immiscibility of a homogenous H2OCO2NaClN2CH4 primary ore fluid. The salinity of Type I (calculated from melting temperature of ice) and Type II (calculated from dissolution temperature of clathrate) fluid inclusions vary from 3.4 to 9.2 wt% NaCl equiv. and 5.8 to 9.8 wt% NaCl equiv., respectively. The overall fluid inclusion salinity range (<10 wt% NaCl equiv.) and gas compositions of fluids suggest that the primary ore‐forming fluid at the Tau deposit was of low salinity and H2OCO2N2CH4NaCl composition. Integration of fluid inclusion microthermometry and arsenopyrite geothermometer results suggest that the first stage and second stages of gold mineralization and the associated alteration at the Tau deposit occurred at pressure and temperature conditions of 75–145 MPa and 290–370°C and 85–160 MPa and 330–370°C, respectively. These results suggest that there was an increase in temperature from the first stage to the second stage of mineralization, resulting in the recrystallization of invisible gold‐bearing arsenopyrite in the first stage to form native gold‐bearing arsenopyrite in the second stage. Fluid composition and the estimated physico‐chemical conditions at the Tau deposit confirm that gold was transported as reduced bisulfide complexes and initial gold deposition was likely caused by a reduction in sulfur contents as a result of sulfidation reactions and pressure‐induced phase separation (fluid immiscibility).

AbstractAimTo explore the experiences of family members of adult persons with type 1 diabetes concerning both the approach of healthcare professionals and feelings of alienation in encounters with professional diabetes care.MethodsA cross‐sectional explorative quantitative and qualitative design. The Family Involvement and Alienation Questionnaire—Revised (FIAQ‐R), including an open‐ended question, was answered by 37 family members of adult persons with type 1 diabetes. Analyses included descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. The study has received ethical approval.ResultsFamily members rated the approach of the healthcare professionals as being somewhat positive and considered that the approach towards them is important. They only felt partially alienated from the professional care. Qualitative data revealed that the family members often lacked direct access to the professional care and that their involvement was dependent on their relationship with the person with diabetes. Findings highlighted that the family members' wish to be involved in the care was sometimes unanswered.ConclusionBased on the findings, it is reasonable to stress the importance of considering family members' perspectives and involving them in diabetes care to improve overall patient support.

Published: August 2023

Droughts affect human well‐being and the economy of countries across the world. Understanding the long‐term evolution of droughts within a particular region will help in drought mitigation and adaptation plans, thereby reducing drought impact on the environment. This study examined the multidecadal trends in hydrological droughts at two stations along River Niger using 3‐month, 6‐month, and annual time scales. Hydrological drought events were identified using the streamflow drought index (SDI) between 1915 and 1990 based on the Theil‐Sen slope and Mann‐Kendall approaches. Across the timescales, extreme and severe droughts occurred in 1982/84 and 1983/84 with ‐2 ≤ Sd < ‐1.5. On an annual scale, the results from the annual SDI further showed that the 7th and 8th decades (1971−1990) recorded more drought events of varying degrees ranging from mild to extreme drought in both stations than in other decades. The last two decades (7th and 8th) further revealed the most extended hydrological drought duration from 1974/75 to 1988/89 for Baro and from 1979/80 to 1988/89 for Lokoja. The highest severity recorded at Baro was ‐15.56 and ‐14.26 at Lokoja. The prolonged duration of drought events across the stations and their associated yearly intensities suggests that more proactive measures are needed to ameliorate the hydrological drought impact in the study area.

AbstractThe purpose of this research was to test, in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the hypothesis that individuals who use defensive pessimism as a strategy to manage anxiety are likely to act to prevent or mitigate negative outcomes. Across three crowd‐sourced samples (Total N = 1416), defensive pessimism was correlated with self‐reports of more precautionary behavior (Studies 1, 2, & 3) and fewer COVID‐positive results (Study 3).
Tracking, calculating, watching: Governing and delay in the Jakarta Smart City
Authors: Webber Sophie , Maalsen Sophia , Emmanuel Leah 
Published: August 2023

AbstractJakarta is widely lauded by global consultancies, technology giants and critical scholars as an increasingly important ‘smart’ city. One of the reasons for this is the attempted use by state, corporate and individual actors of smart technologies, discourses and practices to solve the urban challenges of flooding, traffic and waste management in the context of climate change and urbanisation. In this paper, we examine the efforts of the Jakarta Smart City programme and office to govern these challenges. Where smart cities are often described as offering speed and real‐time efficiency, we instead find that the technologies and practices mobilised by the Jakarta Smart City programme govern by projecting, delaying and hypothesising into the future. We describe these governance strategies and outline three of their key forms: keeping track of objects and people, calculating and projecting state savings, and mundane watching but not acting. Rather than facilitating exacting and real‐time policy responses to address these urban problems, these practices instead produce temporal relations of delay that push action further into the future. Building on existing research about futuring and anticipation, and the tempos and rhythms of smart cities, our contribution is to highlight slowness and delay as a key mode of governing.
An Affordable Telerobotic System Architecture for Grasp Training and Object Grasping for Human–Machine Interaction

Abstract
Due to mobility impairment, a person might rely on wheelchairs, canes, and crutches for assistance but could face challenges when performing tasks such as grasping and manipulating objects due to limitations in reach and capability. To overcome these challenges, a multidegree-of-freedom robotic arm with an anthropomorphic robotic hand (ARH) could be used. In this research, we propose an architecture and then implement it toward the development of an assistive system to assist a person with object grasping. The architecture interlinks three functional modules to provide three operation modes to calibrate the system, train a user on how to execute a grasp, synthesize grasps, and execute a grasp. The developed system consists of a user input and feedback glove capable of capturing user inputs and providing grasp-related vibrotactile feedback, a coppeliasim virtual environment emulating the motions of the ARH, and an underactuated ARH capable of executing grasps while sensing grasp contact locations. The operation of the developed system is evaluated to determine the ability of a person to operate it and perform a grasp using two control methods; using a synthesized grasp or under real-time continuous control. The successful evaluation validates the architecture and the developed system to provide the ability to perform a grasp. The results of the evaluation provide confidence in expanding the system capabilities and using it to develop a database of grasp trajectories of objects with different geometries.

Several devices (e.g., linear transducers) have been used for predicting resistance training intensity. However, subjective scales, such as rating of perceived exertion (RPE), are proposed as reliable and easier-to-use tools for monitoring intensity during resistance training. Accordingly, different perceptive scales have been presented in previous research for monitoring intensity during resistance training with elastic bands. The aim was to assess the accuracy and reliability of RPE for quantifying the potential maximal repetitions that could be performed at a given RPE (from 2 to 8 of 10) obtained in the first repetition. For this purpose, 13 recreationally active participants (age: 26.33 [6.52] years, body mass index: 24.97 [5.08] kg/m2) were involved in two familiarization and two experimental sessions. In each session, participants randomly performed one set at each intensity of the first repetition from 2/10 to 8/10 until volitional failure in three different exercises (fly, military press, and push–press). An individual grip width of the elastic band was chosen in each set. The number of repetitions and heart rate were assessed. Significance level was set at p < .05. Repetitions decreased when intensity increased (p < .01) and heart rate was higher in the global exercise (i.e., push–press; p < .05), but nonsignificant differences between intensities were reported. The level of experience influenced the number of repetitions performed (p < .05). Intersession reliability was set from good to excellent (range: 0.64–0.91). Therefore, the RPE of the first repetition is a relevant and reliable parameter related to the total number of repetitions performed for each RPE value in trained participants enrolled in elastic bands resistance training.

Dune interactions record changes in boundary conditions

Published: August 2023

AbstractWindblown dunes are common features in our solar system, forming on planetary surfaces that span wide ranges in gravity and both atmospheric and sediment properties. The patterns formed by their crests, which are readily visible from orbital images, can record information about recent changes in boundary conditions, such as shifts in wind regime or varying sediment availability. Here, we demonstrate that the density of dune interactions (where neighboring crestlines are close to each other) within a dune field is an indicator of such changes. Using orbiter-based images of 46 dune fields on Earth and Mars, we compiled a database of pattern parameters including dune spacing, crestline orientation, and interaction density. Combined with sediment fluxes derived from ERA5-Land data and a martian global circulation model, we also compiled dune turnover time scales (the time it takes for a dune to migrate one dune length) for each investigated dune field. First, we show that dune fields undergoing changes in boundary conditions display higher than expected dimensionless interaction indices. Second, dune fields with longer turnover times display a wider range in interaction indices on both Earth and Mars because they are more likely to be observed while still adjusting to recent changes in boundary conditions. Thus, a dune field’s interaction index offers a novel tool to detect and possibly quantify recent environmental change on planetary surfaces.
Co-development of traumatic stress symptoms and externalising behaviour problems among foster children and the effect of complex trauma: a latent growth curve model

Published: August 2023

ObjectivesFoster children are disproportionately exposed to complex trauma, which may lead to multifaceted impairments that manifest in comorbid emotional and behavioural problems. As little is known about the interactions between comorbid disorders over time, the present study aims to explore the co-development of traumatic stress (TS) symptoms and externalising behaviour problems (EBP), as well as the influence of complex trauma operationalised as cumulative child maltreatment (CM).SettingAs part of a 3-year longitudinal study, children from six foster care facilities in Lower Austria were interviewed at three measurement points.ParticipantsOf, in total, 263 participating children, the data of 124 children aged 10–18 years (M=13.5, 28% female) could be analysed.Primary and secondary outcome measuresLatent growth curve models were used to examine the co-development of TS symptoms (International Trauma Questionnaire) and EBP (Child Behaviour Checklist) over time; gender, age and cumulative CM (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire) acted as time-invariant covariates.ResultsWhile average TS symptoms decreased over time, EBP remained stable. Findings revealed that the initial severity of EBP was both related to the initial severity of TS symptoms and predictive of their rate of change. Cumulative CM was a significant predictor of initial TS symptoms and EBP even after controlling for age and gender, but not for the rates of change.ConclusionsTaken together, our results indicate that EBP and TS symptoms are not only cross-sectionally associated but interact with each other over time. Furthermore, an underlying complex trauma could at least partly determine the severity of the two symptom groups. In accordance with a trauma-informed care approach, our study highlights the importance of trauma-specific screening of high-risk children with complex or diffuse symptoms and argues for the benefits of treatments that focus on improving emotion regulation and social skills in addition to addressing trauma.

IntroductionTitrated application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is an important part of any mechanical ventilation strategy. However, the method by which the optimal PEEP is determined and titrated varies widely. Methods for determining optimal PEEP have been assessed using a variety of different study designs and patient populations. We will conduct a scoping review to systematically identify all methods for determining optimal PEEP, and to identify the patient populations, outcomes measured and study designs used for each method. The goal will be to identify gaps in the optimal PEEP literature and identify areas where there may be an opportunity to further systematically synthesise and meta-analyse existing literature.Methods and analysisUsing scoping review methodology, we will generate a comprehensive search strategy based on inclusion and exclusion criteria generated using the population, concept, context framework. Five different databases will be searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science and Scopus). Three investigators will independently screen titles and abstracts, and two investigators will independently complete full-text review and data extraction. Included citations will be categorised in terms of PEEP method, study design, patient population and outcomes measured. The methods for PEEP titration will be described in detail, including strengths and limitations.Ethics and disseminationGiven this is a synthesis of existing literature, ethics approval is not required. The results will be disseminated to stakeholders via presentation at local, regional and national levels, as well as publication in a high-impact critical care journal. There is also the potential to impact local clinical care protocols and inform broader clinical practice guidelines undertaken by societies.

Declines in freshwater quality resulting from anthropogenic nutrient input remain a persistent issue worldwide. Yet, we still have a limited understanding of the magnitude and scale at which most lakes have been affected by human activities, namely Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) alterations. In response, the NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network has compiled the first nationwide systematic database of lake quality metrics by surveying 664 lakes across 12 ecozones over 3 years. To assess the influence of catchment development on water quality and its spatial variation, we built generally additive models and multivariate regressions to quantify the association between watershed LULC and lake temperature, Secchi depth, as well as chlorophyll- a, limiting nutrient, and ion concentrations. We found that agricultural and urban land use explained the greatest proportion of variation in water quality among LULC categories ( R2 = 0.20–0.29). Overall, our study highlights that drivers of water quality are similar across regions; however, baseline conditions vary, so freshwater ecosystem management strategies must consider their geographic context to better predict where water quality thresholds will be surpassed.
En búsqueda de un cine simbiótico: Shun de la ecuatoriana Sani Montahuano y Yollotl del mexicano Fernando Colin Roque
Authors: Paz y Miño Lucía Fernanda Romero 
Published: August 2023

Este artículo desarrolla un análisis comparativo de los cortometrajes Shun (2021), de la cineasta ecuatoriana de nacionalidad indígena Sápara, Sani Montahuano, y Yollotl (2020) del cineasta mexicano Fernando Colin Roque. El estudio se enmarca en las discusiones sobre el llamado giro ontológico desde la perspectiva del arte y la visualidad, y realiza su indagación desde una metodología visual crítica, que incluye un análisis composicional y otro interpretativo, a partir de la descripción de las películas y entrevistas a ambos autores. Se concluye que ambos cortometrajes representan la posibilidad de un cine simbiótico; uno cuya visualidad proponga una simbiosis inter-especies a partir de un tratamiento de la cámara que asuma diversas perspectivas corpóreas y sumergidas, mostrando la inter-representación entre humanos y no humanos. Siempre pensado como una potencialidad, este cine podría poner en relieve el pensamiento amerindio como posibilidad de respuesta ante la crisis climática que afecta particularmente a poblaciones y culturas empobrecidas y racializadas de América Latina.
