An Autoethnographic Approach to Faculty Development Through a Longitudinal Analysis of a Co-taught Workshop
Authors: Fedeli Laura , Deluigi Rosita 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe present contribution explores how a co-taught workshop, designed and delivered in the last two academic years within two curricular disciplines of the third year of the degree course in Science of Education at University of Macerata (Italy), took advantage of autoethnography as a reflective method to enrich the interdisciplinary relationship between the two professors involved and their mutual growth in terms of instructional design and teaching practices. The exploration of Self as a data source allowed both researchers (in their teaching role) to reflect on core areas of faculty development in connection with the specific co-teaching style they adopted. Autoethnography allowed all the involved actors (students and professors) to visualize a transformative direction in their academic identity and professional growth. The discussion of the results is based on a content analysis of different data sources where all the data were triangulated in a double connotation, that is, between professors and among the different sources in an iterative process.

AbstractAugmented reality (AR) is rapidly emerging as an increasingly useful technology in educational settings. In the ARETE (Augmented Reality Interactive Educational System) H2020 project, consortium members designed and implemented an ecosystem aimed at supporting teachers in building a collaborative learning environment through the use of AR in order to improve educational experiences. In particular, one of the pilot projects aims to introduce AR into school behavior lessons for the first time, leveraging the Positive Behaviour Intervention and Support (PBIS) methodology. Specifically, in this paper we will discuss the proposed architecture within the ARETE project that incorporates AR technology into the learning process of behavior lessons to support the teaching, practice and reinforcement phases of expected behaviors. Through the combination of different technologies and systems, it is possible to create an example of a technological and innovative ecosystem designed for creating behavioral lessons in AR.

AbstractExperimentally, periodically released droplets in systems of widening pipes show clustering. This is surprising, as purely hydrodynamic interactions are repulsive so that agglomeration should be prevented. In the main part of this paper, we investigate the clustering of droplets under the influence of phenomenological hydrostatic forces and some hypothetical attraction. In two appendices, we explain why a direct numerical simulation for this system is rather more difficult (and probably not possible with current methods) than the “simple” geometry would suggest.
Geschlecht als Kategorie im Kontext Wohnungsnot
Authors: Finzi Jan A. 
Published: April 2023

ZusammenfassungGeschlecht ist eine der bestimmenden Determinanten gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens und nimmt auch im Kontext von Wohnungsnot eine bestimmende Position ein. Geschlecht ist sowohl für das Phänomen Wohnungsnot insgesamt als auch für die Ursachen, die individuellen Lebenslagen sowie Bedarfe von Menschen in Wohnungsnot äußerst relevant. Auch wenn es verschiedene Untersuchungen zu den spezifischen Lebenslagen und Bedarfen von Männern und Frauen in Wohnungsnot gibt, konstatiert unter anderem Dubrow (2009, S. 53–55) zurecht, dass Geschlecht – verstanden in seiner Differenzierung in Gender und Sex sowie der Unterschiedlichkeit zwischen Frau und Mann und die Bedeutung von Geschlecht im Hilfesystem bisher wenig Beachtung gefunden haben.

3 definitions of BF theory on homology 3-spheres
Authors: Blau Matthias , Kakona Mbambu , Thompson George 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
3-dimensional BF theory with gauge group G (= Chern-Simons theory with non-compact gauge group TG) is a deceptively simple yet subtle topological gauge theory. Formally, its partition function is a sum/integral over the moduli space $$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
of flat connections, weighted by the Ray-Singer torsion. In practice, however, this formal expression is almost invariably singular and ill-defined.In order to improve upon this, we perform a direct evaluation of the path integral for certain classes of 3-manifolds (namely integral and rational Seifert homology spheres). By a suitable choice of gauge, we sidestep the issue of having to integrate over $$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
and reduce the partition function to a finite-dimensional Abelian matrix integral which, however, itself requires a definition. We offer 3 definitions of this integral, firstly via residues, and then via a large k limit of the corresponding G × G or Gℂ Chern-Simons matrix integrals (obtained previously). We then check and discuss to which extent the results capture the expected sum/integral over all flat connections.

Appearance of levator ani muscle subdivision defects on level III vaginal support structures in women with and without pelvic organ prolapse: an MRI study
Authors: Horcicka L. , Krcmar M. , Nemec M. , Hympanova L. , Feyereisl J. , Krofta L. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis
Injury of the levator ani muscle (LAM) is a significant risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The puborectalis (PRM) and pubovisceral (PVM) subdivisions are level III vaginal support structures. The null hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in patterns of LAM subdivisions in healthy nulliparous women. Secondarily, we evaluated the presence of different LAM injury in a POP-symptomatic cohort.

Methods
This retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study included: 64 nulligravidae without any pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and 526 women of various parity with symptomatic POP. Primary outcome was PVM and PRM morphology on the axial planes: the attachment site on the pubic bone, and the visible separation/border between the PVM and PRM. The attachment was scored as “normal” or “abnormal”. The “abnormal” attachment was divided in two types: “type I”—loss of the muscle substance, but preservation of the overall muscle architecture—and “type II”—muscle detachment from the pubic bone.

Results
The puboanal muscle (PAM) subdivision was evaluated as a representative part of the PVM. The PAM and PRM attachments and separation were distinguished in all asymptomatic nulliparae. PAM and PRM attachments did not significantly differ. POP group characteristics were parity 1.9 ± 0.8, instrumental delivery 5.6%, hysterectomy or POP surgery 60%, all Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stages, LAM defect 77.6% (PRM: 77.1%; PAM: 51.3%). Type I injuries were more frequent (PRM 54.7%; PAM 53.9%) compared with type II (PRM 29.4%; PAM 42.1%).

Conclusions
A LAM defect was present in 77.6% of women with symptomatic POP. In PRM and PAM subdivisions type I injury was more frequent than type II.
Production and sensory analysis of grape flavoured beer by co-fermentation of an industrial and a genetically modified laboratory yeast strain

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe so-called “craft beer revolution” has increased the demand for new styles of beers, often with new ingredients like flavour extracts. In recent years, synthetic biology has realized the production of a plethora of plant secondary metabolites in microbial hosts, which could provide an alternative source for these compounds. In this study, we selected a in situ flavour production approach for grape flavour addition. We used an O-methyl anthranilate (OmANT) producing laboratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain in co-fermentations with an industrial beer yeast strain WLP644. The laboratory strain provided an ease of genetic manipulation and the desirable properties of the WLP644 strain were not modified in this approach. In shake flasks, a 10:90 ratio of the yeasts produced grape flavoured beer with the yeast produced flavour compound in a range normally used for flavoured beverages. Hopped and unhopped beers were analysed by VTT’s trained sensory panel and with olfactory GC–MS. OmANT was successfully detected from the beers as a floral odour and flavour. Moreover, no off-flavours were detected and aroma profiles outside the grape flavour were rather similar. These results indicate that the co-fermentation principle is a suitable approach to change the flavour profiles of beers with a simple yeast strain drop-in approach.
How effective is peer-to-peer support in cancer patients and survivors? A systematic review
Authors: Kiemen A. , Czornik M. , Weis J. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Core components of peer-to-peer (PTP) support for cancer survivors include informational, emotional, and psychosocial aspects. Previous literature on peer support in cancer includes both professionally and peer-led support. Our objective was to summarize studies on the effects of non-professionally led PTP support in cancer.

Methods
We performed a systematic research on studies in PTP support of adult cancer survivors with an interventional design, comparing outcomes of PTP support against any control. We included all studies with a precise definition of a PTP support, published from January 2000 up to March 2023 in peer-reviewed journals in English or German.

Results
Out of N = 609 identified publications, we were are able to include n = 18 randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) fulfilling our inclusion criteria. Main settings were dyadic support via telephone, face-to-face (FTF), and web-based online support. Most common outcomes were distress, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and quality of life (QoL). Overall, we found only small effects of PTP support on depression/anxiety, coping, or sexual functioning. Beneficial effects associated with the PTP intervention were apparent in particular in BRCA, in FTF settings, and in assessments of cancer-specific QoL outcomes.

Conclusion
This review shows that there are a few RCT investigating the effect of PTP support with short-term effects. Overall, there is a need for more RCTs with high methodological standards to evaluate the effectiveness of PTP support.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Aims
Previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) entails increased risk of future diabetes. We describe the characteristics of women with previous GDM and compare with no previous GDM from the cohort Diabetes in Kalmar and Kronoberg (DKK) of 1248 adults, 40% women, with new diabetes, and factors affecting age and C-peptide levels at diagnosis of diabetes.

Methods
Age-at-diagnosis of diabetes, BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, physical activity, and pre-existing myocardial infarction, stroke, or peripheral arterial insufficiency were registered at ordinary care visits close to diagnosis of diabetes, for the 43 women (9.4% of 456 from DKK with complete data for this analysis) with self-reported previous GDM (yes/no) and 86 controls without it, matched for date of diagnosis of diabetes. Blood samples were centrally analyzed for GADA and C-peptide for classification of diabetes.

Results
Women with previous GDM had lower mean age-at-diagnosis of diabetes, 53.4 vs 65.0 years, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), 131.2 vs 137.5 mmHg, and fewer had pre-existing hypertension than without previous GDM (p < 0.001–0.05). Among antibody negative women with previous GDM, BMI (p = 0.024), hypertension (p = 0.023) and hyperlipidemia (p < 0.001) were associated with higher levels of C-peptide, while physical activity was inversely associated (p = 0.035), and SBP (p = 0.02) and hypertension (p = 0.016) were associated with age-at-diagnosis of diabetes.

Conclusions
Women with previous GDM were a decade younger and had lower prevalence of hypertension at diagnosis of diabetes; C-peptide levels were associated with BMI, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and showed a tendency to be lower, possibly indicating a phenotype with higher risk of overt cardiovascular disease later in life.
Intraarterial embolizations in life-threatening spontaneous retroperitoneal and rectus sheath hemorrhage (SRRSH): a three-center experience
Authors: Becker Lena S. , Stöhr Fabian , Maus Volker , Dewald Cornelia L.A. , Meyer Bernhard C. , Wacker Frank K. , Kloeckner Roman , Hinrichs Jan B. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose
To retrospectively evaluate the technical and clinical success of interventional treatments employed in three University medical centers and to develop work-flow recommendations for intra-arterial embolizations in patients with life-threatening spontaneous retroperitoneal and rectus sheath hemorrhage (SRRSH).

Materials and methods
Retrospective evaluation of all patients with contrast-enhanced CT and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for SRRSH from 01/2018 to 12/2022, amounted to 91 interventions in 83 patients (45f, 38m) with a mean age of 68.1 ± 13.2 years. Analysis of the amount of bleeding and embolized vessels, choice of embolization material, technical success, and 30-day mortality was performed.

Results
Pre-interventional contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated active contrast extravasation in 79 cases (87%). DSA identified a mean of 1.4 ± 0.88 active bleeds in all but two interventions (98%), consisting of 60 cases with a singular and 39 cases of >1 bleeding artery, which were consecutively embolized. The majority of patients underwent embolization with either n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA; n=38), coils (n=21), or a combination of embolic agents (n=23). While the technical success rate was documented at 97.8%, 25 patients (30%) died within 30 days after the initial procedure, with mortality rates ranging from 25 to 86% between the centers, each following different diagnostic algorithms.

Conclusion
Embolotherapy is a safe therapy option with high technical success rates in patients with life-threatening SRRSH. To maximize clinical success and survival rates, we propose a standardized approach to angiography as well as a low threshold for re-angiography.
The Efficiency of Humic Acid for Improving Salinity Tolerance in Salt Sensitive Rice (Oryza sativa): Growth Responses and Physiological Mechanisms

Published: April 2023

AbstractHigh-yielding rice cultivars exhibit a great performance in non-saline fields; however, their growth and productivity are greatly reduced in salt-affected lands. Humic acid has a promising stress-mitigating potential and can be effective in improving salt tolerance in salinity sensitive rice cultivars. Herein, seeds of Giza 177 (high-yielding but salt-sensitive rice cultivar) were primed in 40 mg/l humic acid, sown, and maintained. Then growth and physiological responses of the humic acid-primed plants to increased levels of salinity (EC: 0.55, 3.40, 6.77, and 8.00 mS/cm) were evaluated at the reproductive stage. Increasing salinity induced a progressive retardation in plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry weights. Such retardation was associated with Na+ buildup in shoot and root, high electrolyte leakage and accumulation of malondialdehyde, total soluble sugars, sucrose, glucose, proline, total soluble proteins, flavonoids, and phenolics. In contrast, salinity reduced K+, K+/Na+ ratio, total carbohydrates, and the activity of catalase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase. Humic acid enhanced growth under non-saline and saline conditions. The humic acid-induced improvement in salt tolerance was associated with the reduction of Na+ toxicity, increasing K+/Na+ ratio, regulating osmolytes concentration, and enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and thus reduce the oxidative stress. These results indicate that humic acid successfully reduced the salinity-induced plant damage, improved metabolism, and maintained active growth of Giza 177 under saline irrigation.
Prenatal Exposure to General Anesthesia Drug Esketamine Impaired Neurobehavior in Offspring

Published: April 2023

AbstractPrenatal exposure to anesthetics has raised increasing attention about the neuronal development in offspring. Animal models are usually used for investigation. As a new drug, esketamine is the s-isoform of ketamine and is twice as potent as the racemic ketamine with less reported adverse effects. Esketamine is currently being used and become more favorable in clinical anesthesia work, including surgeries during pregnancy, yet the effect on the offspring is unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the effects of gestational administration of esketamine on neuronal development in offspring, using a rat model. Gestational day 14.5 pregnant rats received intravenous injections of esketamine. The postnatal day 0 (P0) hippocampus was digested and cultured in vitro to display the neuronal growth morphology. On Day 4 the in vitro experiments revealed a shorter axon length and fewer dendrite branches in the esketamine group. The results from the EdU- imaging kit showed decreased proliferative capacity in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG) in both P0 and P30 offspring brains in the esketamine group. Moreover, neurogenesis, neuron maturity and spine density were impaired, resulting in attenuated long-term potentiation (LTP). Compromised hippocampal function accounted for the deficits in neuronal cognition, memory and emotion. The evidence obtained suggests that the neurobehavioral deficit due to prenatal exposure to esketamine may be related to the decrease phosphorylation of CREB and abnormalities in N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptor subunits. Taken together, these results demonstrate the negative effect of prenatal esketamine exposure on neuronal development in offspring rats.
Graphical Abstract
G14.5 esketamine administration influenced the neurobehavior of the offspring in adolescence. Poorer neuronal growth and reduced brain proliferative capacity in late gestation and juvenile pups resulted in impaired P30 neuronal plasticity and synaptic spines as well as abnormalities in NMDAR subunits. Attenuated LTP reflected compromised hippocampal function, as confirmed by behavioral tests of cognition, memory and emotions. This figure was completed on the website of Figdraw.
New Spark solutions for distributed frequent itemset and association rule mining algorithms
Authors: Fernandez-Basso Carlos , Ruiz M. Dolores , Martin-Bautista Maria J. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe large amount of data generated every day makes necessary the re-implementation of new methods capable of handle with massive data efficiently. This is the case of Association Rules, an unsupervised data mining tool capable of extracting information in the form of IF-THEN patterns. Although several methods have been proposed for the extraction of frequent itemsets (previous phase before mining association rules) in very large databases, the high computational cost and lack of memory remains a major problem to be solved when processing large data. Therefore, the aim of this paper is three fold: (1) to review existent algorithms for frequent itemset and association rule mining, (2)to develop new efficient frequent itemset Big Data algorithms using distributive computation, as well as a new association rule mining algorithm in Spark, and (3) to compare the proposed algorithms with the existent proposals varying the number of transactions and the number of items. To this purpose, we have used the Spark platform which has been demonstrated to outperform existing distributive algorithmic implementations.
