Occupational Health and Safety during COVID-19: A Cross-National Comparison of Discursive and Communication Practices in Italy and the US
Authors: Manzella Pietro 
Published: January 2023

This paper examines legal communication in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) discourse and investigates the rhetorical strategies implemented at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the paper focuses on a dataset of legal provisions introduced as emergency legislation – measures adopted to tackle unprecedented circumstances – in Italy and the US, in order to identify commonalities and differences when informing the general public of the measures laid down particularly to protect workers in the workplace. This paper is intended to contribute to research in discourse analysis in OHS, an area of expertise which has been given fresh momentum since the onset of the pandemic. The decision to examine Italian and US emergency legislation was made in consideration of the cultural and legal differences between the two countries, which give rise to a number of discursive approaches to emergency management.
Application of CORSIMA (Cosmic Ray Spectrum and Intensity in Middle Atmosphere) Model for Solar Cosmic Rays. Case Study of the Extremes GLE 05 and GLE 69
Authors: Asenovski Simeon , Velinov Peter , Mateev Lachezar 
Published: January 2023

The new model CORSIMA (COsmic Ray Spectrum and Intensity in Middle Atmosphere) is presented. The spectra and intensities of solar cosmic rays (SCR) from GLE (Ground Level Enhancement) 05 on 23 February 1956 and GLE 69 on 20 January 2005 at different altitudes are calculated. For this purpose, the operational CORSIMA model is applied. In the final version of the CORSIMA program, an approximation in 6 characteristic energy intervals of the Bohr–Bethe–Bloch function is used, including the charge decrease interval. Analytical expressions for the contributions of the energy intervals are provided.
For the first time we present a quantitative and qualitative appreciation of the impact of Solar Cosmic Rays (SCRs) from the Solar Particle Events (SPEs) on the ionosphere and middle atmosphere (30–80 km). These altitudes are above the Regener–Pfotzer maximum.
Unlike Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR), the differential spectra of SCR essentially vary in time. The SCR fluxes also differ from each other during the different events. The spectrum and intensity behaviour is explained considering the structure of the CORSIMA program. The calculation results are in agreement with the experimental data and show characteristic features of the propagation process for different altitudes and geomagnetic latitudes. The calculations are performed for geomagnetic latitudes 90° (cusp region). The development of this research is important for the processes and mechanisms of space weather.

Published: January 2023

This article provides a general overview of the decomposition with the mixed model. The decomposition of such series into various components requires a method that can adequately estimate and investigate the trend parameters, seasonal indices and residual component of the series. In this article, the Buys-Ballot method of decomposition of time series is discussed with emphasis on the mixed model. The analysis indicates that, the estimated and computed trend parameters, seasonal indices and the residual components are listed. Therefore, the residual mean obtained is 0.9749, while the variance is 0.0047. Hence, the fitted mixed decomposition model becomes. \(\hat{X}\)t = (2.9749-0.0016t) \(\hat{S}\)t

Aims: A trial was conducted to investigate the influence of plant growth regulators on the growth and quality attributes of pineapple fruits.
Study Design: The experiment was arranged in a randomized completed block design (RBCD) with three replications using 25 plants per replication.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out between 2020 and 2021 at the Central Horticultural Experiment Station, Aignia, Bhubaneswar, India.
Methodology: The application of PGRs i.e. naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), gibberellic acid (GA), and brassinosteroid (BR) was done at the flower initiation stage. Only water application is done in case of control. Fruits were harvested at the ripe stage and an analysis of different growth and quality parameters were done.
Results: The application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), and gibberellic acid (GA) significantly improved the yield and quality attributes of pineapple. Application of NAA 200 mgL-1 (T3) was found to be the most effective in enhancing absolute growth rate (2.65 g day-1), fruit weight (1.58 kg), and fruit/crown ratio (6.38). It was also evident that the application of NAA 200 mgL-1 improved fruit quality in terms of soluble solid contents (17.67 oBrix), soluble solid contents to acid ratio (19.49), reducing sugar (3.54%), and total sugar content (12.38%). Higher pulp content (73.89%), pulp-to-peel ratio (3.49), and juice content (54.50%) were also observed with NAA 200 mgL-1.
Conclusion: NAA 200 mgL-1 significantly improved fruit growth i.e. fruit weight, fruit-to-crown ratio, and absolute growth rate. It also enhanced the quality attributes of pineapple fruits i.e. pulp content, pulp-to-peel ratio, juice content, pH, soluble solid contents, SSC to acid ratio, reducing sugar, and total sugar content.

ImportanceMore than 10% of children experience sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, and abuse experienced during sensitive neurodevelopmental periods is associated with a greater risk of psychiatric disorders.ObjectiveTo investigate the extent to which a history of abuse is associated with alterations in the intrinsic functional connectome of the adult brain independent from the restriction of associated psychiatric conditions.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study assessed data from 768 adult participants from the greater Sydney, Australia, area who were included in the study without diagnostic restrictions and categorized based on a history of childhood sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. Data were collected from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2015; data analysis was performed from October 1, 2020, to March 31, 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresOutcomes were structured psychiatric interview responses, self-report of the frequency and extent of various types of negative experiences in childhood and adolescence, and intrinsic functional connectivity derived from 5 functional magnetic resonance imaging tasks and estimated among 436 brain regions, comprising intranetwork and internetwork connectivity of 8 large-scale brain networks.ResultsAmong the 647 individuals with usable data (330 female [51.0%]; mean [SD] age, 33.3 [12.0] years; age range, 18.2-69.2 years), history of abuse was associated with greater likelihood of a current psychiatric illness (odds ratio, 4.55; 95% CI, 3.07-6.72; P &amp;lt; .001) and with greater depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms (mean difference, 20.4; 95% CI, 16.1-24.7; P &amp;lt; .001). An altered connectome signature of higher connectivity within somatomotor, dorsal, and ventral attention networks and between these networks and executive control and default mode networks was observed in individuals with a history of abuse experienced during childhood (n = 127) vs those without a history of abuse (n = 442; mean difference, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.05-0.08; familywise, Bonferroni-corrected P = .01; Cohen d = 0.82) and compared with those who experienced abuse in adolescence (n = 78; mean difference, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.04-0.08]; familywise, Bonferroni-corrected P &amp;lt; .001; Cohen d = 0.68). Connectome alterations were not observed for those who experienced abuse in adolescence. Connectivity of this signature was transdiagnostic and independent of the nature and frequency of abuse, sex, or current symptomatic state.Conclusions and RelevanceFindings highlight the associations of exposure to abuse before and during adolescence with the whole-brain functional connectome. The experience of child abuse was found to be associated with physiologic changes in intrinsic connectivity, independent of psychopathology, in a way that may affect functioning of systems responsible for perceptual processing and attention.

Published: January 2023

ImportanceMaternal mental health problems during pregnancy are associated with altered neurodevelopment in offspring, but the long-term relationship between these prenatal risk factors and offspring brain structure in adulthood remains incompletely understood due to a paucity of longitudinal studies.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between exposure to maternal depression in utero and offspring brain age in the third decade of life, and to evaluate recent stressful life events as potential moderators of this association.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study examined the 30-year follow-up of a Czech prenatal birth cohort with a within-participant design neuroimaging component in young adulthood conducted from 1991 to 2022. Participants from the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood prenatal birth cohort were recruited for 2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-ups, one between ages 23 and 24 years (early 20s) and another between ages 28 and 30 years (late 20s).ExposuresMaternal depression during pregnancy; stressful life events in the past year experienced by the young adult offspring.Main Outcomes and MeasuresGap between estimated neuroanatomical vs chronological age at MRI scan (brain age gap estimation [BrainAGE]) calculated once in participants’ early 20s and once in their late 20s, and pace of aging calculated as the differences between BrainAGE at the 2 MRI sessions in young adulthood.ResultsA total of 260 individuals participated in the second neuroimaging follow-up (mean [SD] age, 29.5 [0.6] years; 135 [52%] male); MRI data for both time points and a history of maternal depression were available for 110 participants (mean [SD] age, 29.3 [0.6] years; 56 [51%] male). BrainAGE in participants’ early 20s was correlated with BrainAGE in their late 20s (r = 0.7, P &amp;lt; .001), and a previously observed association between maternal depression during pregnancy and BrainAGE in their early 20s persisted in their late 20s (adjusted R2 = 0.04; P = .04). However, no association emerged between maternal depression during pregnancy and the pace of aging between the 2 MRI sessions. The stability of the associations between maternal depression during pregnancy and BrainAGE was also supported by the lack of interactions with recent stress. In contrast, more recent stress was associated with greater pace of aging between the 2 MRI sessions, independent of maternal depression (adjusted R2 = 0.09; P = .01).Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this cohort study suggest that maternal depression and recent stress may have independent associations with brain age and the pace of aging, respectively, in young adulthood. Prevention and treatment of depression in pregnant mothers may have long-term implications for offspring brain development.

ImportanceHigh-intensity drinking (HID) (≥10 drinks in a row) is associated with acute negative outcomes. Identifying factors associated with HID initiation in adolescence and how it is associated with young adulthood outcomes can inform screening and prevention.ObjectiveTo identify when individuals initiate HID and speed of escalation from first drink and first binge to first HID; characteristics associated with initiation and escalation; and whether these characteristics are associated with weekly alcohol consumption, HID frequency, and symptoms of alcohol use disorder at age 20 years.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study analyzed web-based survey data from respondents in the US who reported alcohol use in the past 30 days recruited from the 2018 12th grade Monitoring the Future study and surveyed again from February 14 through April 17, 2020, at modal age 20 years in the Young Adult Daily Life Study. Only respondents who reported HID by modal age 20 years were included in the analyses.ExposuresRetrospective alcohol use initiation and self-reported alcohol use measures.Main Outcomes and MeasuresKey retrospective measures included year of initiation for alcohol, first binge (≥5 drinks), and HID (≥10 drinks). Measures at age 20 years included weekly alcohol consumption, HID frequency, and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores. Covariates included biologic sex, race and ethnicity, parental college education, family history of alcohol problems, and college status. Descriptive statistics and multivariable regression models were used, and all analyses were weighted.ResultsOf the 451 participants with data eligible for analysis, 62.0% were male (38.0% female). On average, alcohol, binge, and HID were initiated during high school. Mean time of escalation from first drink to first HID was 1.9 (95% CI, 1.8-2.1) years and between first binge and first HID, 0.7 (95% CI, 0.6-0.8) years. Initiating HID by grade 11 (vs later) was associated with higher average weekly alcohol consumption (adjusted incidence rate ratio [aIRR], 1.40; 95% CI, 1.10-1.79]), HID frequency (aIRR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.25-3.22]), and AUDIT score (adjusted odds ratio, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.02-1.34]) at age 20 years. Escalation from first binge to first HID in the same year (vs ≥1 year) was associated with higher HID frequency at age 20 years (aIRR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.06-2.61).Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that understanding ages and patterns of HID initiation and escalation associated with particular risk may facilitate screening for adolescents and young adults.

ImportanceDespite advances in the understanding of dietary therapies in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, no quantitative comparison exists between different dietary interventions.ObjectiveTo evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of various dietary therapies in childhood drug-resistant epilepsy.Data SourcesSystematic review and network meta-analysis (frequentist) of studies in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Ovid published from inception to April 2022 using the search terms ketogenic diet, medium chain triglyceride diet, modified Atkins diet, low glycemic index therapy, and refractory epilepsy.Study SelectionRandomized clinical trials comparing different dietary therapies (ketogenic diet, modified Atkins diet, and low glycemic index therapy) with each other or care as usual in childhood drug-resistant epilepsy were included. Abstract, title, and full text were screened independently by 2 reviewers.Data Extraction and SynthesisData extraction was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses reporting guideline. Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the study quality. Effect sizes were calculated as odds ratio with 95% CI using random-effects model. The hierarchy of competing interventions was defined using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve.Main Outcomes and MeasuresShort-term (≤3 months) 50% or higher and 90% or higher reduction in seizure frequency and treatment withdrawal due to adverse events were the primary efficacy and safety outcomes.ResultsOf 2158 citations, 12 randomized clinical trials (907 patients) qualified for inclusion. In the short term, all dietary interventions were more efficacious than care as usual for 50% or higher seizure reduction (low glycemic index therapy: odds ratio [OR], 24.7 [95% CI, 5.3-115.4]; modified Atkins diet: OR, 11.3 [95% CI, 5.1-25.1]; ketogenic diet: OR, 8.6 [95% CI, 3.7-20.0]), while ketogenic diet (OR, 6.5 [95% CI, 2.3-18.0]) and modified Atkins diet (OR, 5.1 [95% CI, 2.2-12.0]) were better than care as usual for seizure reduction of 90% or higher. However, adverse event–related discontinuation rates were significantly higher for ketogenic diet (OR, 8.6 [95% CI, 1.8-40.6]) and modified Atkins diet (OR, 6.5 [95% CI, 1.4-31.2]) compared with care as usual. Indirectly, there was no significant difference between dietary therapies in efficacy and safety outcomes.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study found that all dietary therapies are effective in the short term. However, modified Atkins diet had better tolerability, higher probability for 50% or higher seizure reduction, and comparable probability for 90% or higher seizure reduction and may be a sounder option than ketogenic diet. Direct head-to-head comparison studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Renenutet
Authors: Gillam Robyn 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Renenutet, long identified as a nurturing snake deity watching over crops, originally safeguarded manufactured produce and goods stored in magazines and treasuries. Her Middle Kingdom temple in the Fayyum connected her directly with agriculture, wheat and viticulture in the early New Kingdom. In the later New Kingdom she was worshiped by the non‐elite, with stelae and votives. Many uninscribed cobra figurines from this period may represent other snake deities besides Renenutet. In the Ptolemaic period, her Greek form, Thermouthis, was identified with Isis as a universal god. Her worship continued into Roman times.

Published: January 2023

ObjectiveThe risk of COVID‐19 infection is increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) versus those without SLE. Some immunosuppressive medications increase COVID‐19 infection and decrease the efficacy of vaccination. Consensus documents have suggested management strategies for handling immunosuppressive medications to increase vaccine efficacy, but the benefit of such strategies has not been proven. The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on vaccine response in SLE.MethodsWe collected information on COVID‐19 infection, vaccination history, and COVID‐19 antibodies in the Hopkins Lupus Cohort. A cohort of health care workers was used for comparison. Outcome measures included SARS–CoV‐2 antibody IgG levels after vaccination over time in both cohorts and effect of immunosuppressive medications on postvaccination IgG levels in SLE patients.ResultsThe analysis was based on 365 observations from 334 different patients in the SLE cohort, and 2,235 observations from 1,887 different health care workers. SLE patients taking immunosuppressive medications had lower vaccine IgG levels than SLE patients who were not; but both groups had lower levels than health care workers. Holding mycophenolate for 1 week after vaccination increased postvaccine IgG levels significantly without leading to clinical flares. In multiple variable models, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and belimumab all significantly reduced antibody response to vaccination.ConclusionSLE patients, regardless of background immunosuppressive therapy, had lower vaccine IgG levels than health care workers. Mycophenolate, tacrolimus, and belimumab significantly reduced IgG response to vaccination. Holding mycophenolate for 1 week improved vaccine efficacy, providing clinical benefit on vaccine response without leading to clinical flares.

Published: January 2023

SummaryThe performance of small fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is easily degraded by exogenous disturbances. In an attempt to improve the performance, the structural change is made in conventional small fixed‐wing UAV through segmentation of each aileron control surface into multiples. Detailed system identification experiments are performed on each aileron pair in the wind tunnel to acquire linear dynamic models for the roll attitude of the UAV. These experiments have provided the transfer functions for the aileron control surfaces based on corresponding frequency response. Three distinctive model predictive controllers are designed and deployed in real‐time hardware to achieve the roll attitude control. The roll attitude control experiments are validated in wind tunnel under both normal and turbulent environments. The results show that multiple input and single output control system provides significant improvement in the roll attitude and disturbance rejection performance. The collective actuation of multiple control surfaces improves roll stability by to when compared to the single aileron pair based conventional control in the presence of turbulent flight conditions.

AbstractThermal energy, constituting the majority of the energy lost through various inefficiencies, is abundant and ubiquitous. With thermogalvanic effect, thermocells (TECs) can directly convert thermal energy into electricity without producing vibration, noise or other waste emissions. This work presents a rational design of flexible film electrodes constructed on a ternary composite of Ti3C2Tx MXene (Tx represents surface terminations), polyaniline (PANI) and single‐wall carbon nanotubes for TECs, which exhibit notably enhanced thermoelectrochemical performance compared to the widely adopted noble platinum electrodes. The ternary composite electrodes form a porous layered structure with a large electrochemical‐active surface area. Experiment and simulation results reveal that synergistic effects of Ti3C2Tx and PANI are induced for promoting both mass and charge transport at the electrolyte‐electrode interface, resulting in a TEC with an output power of 13.15 µW cm−2 at the ΔT of 40 K. The TEC also shows a rapid response to the small temperature difference between the human body and the ambient, demonstrating high potential in harvesting low‐grade heat to power small electronics.
