AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) in children is associated with increased morbidity, reduced health-related quality of life, greater resource utilization, and higher mortality. Improvements in the timeliness and precision of AKI diagnosis in children are needed. In this report, we highlight existing, novel, and on-the-horizon diagnostic and risk-stratification tools for pediatric AKI, and outline opportunities for integration into clinical practice. We also summarize pediatric-specific high-risk diagnoses and exposures for AKI, as well as the potential role of real-time risk stratification and clinical decision support to improve outcomes. Lastly, the key characteristics of important pediatric AKI phenotypes will be outlined. Throughout, we identify key knowledge gaps, which represent prioritized areas of focus for future research that will facilitate a comprehensive, timely and personalized approach to pediatric AKI diagnosis and management.

AbstractSuicide is an important social and medical problem, particularly among children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to determine the association of the psychiatric diagnosis and selected psychosocial factors with the risk of suicide attempts among patients of an adolescent psychiatric unit. A retrospective analysis was performed on a database of consecutive N = 1311 patients aged 13–18 years of the adolescent psychiatric ward. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of the main psychiatric diagnosis, for factors selected from the database to determine their influence on the relative risk of a suicide attempt. Primary diagnoses of mood disorders and emotional and behavioral disorders were associated with an increased risk of a current admission after a suicidal attempt, a history of past suicidal attempts and non-suicidal self-harm (NSSI). History of NSSI was associated with a fourfold increase probability of a suicide attempt. Truancy, sexual abuse, heartbreak and frequent conflicts were related to a rise in suicidal attempt risk. Learning difficulties were found to be linked to increased probability of suicidal attempt, but only among women. The current study confirms that the primary diagnosis, NSSI and well-recognized psychosocial factors (including family- and school-related factors) may prove useful in the assessment of suicidal risk among adolescents admitted to a psychiatric ward.
Experimental investigation of moving contact pattern in helical planetary gearboxes

Published: September 2023

AbstractPlanetary gear sets combine the characteristics of high-power density and compact design which are beneficial for a wide range of high-performance applications. Embedded in the efforts for resource efficiency and cost reduction, new challenges arise regarding a lightweight design. An accurate prediction of the load sharing on the individual planetary gears and especially of the load distribution of the meshing gears is of major importance. A uniform load distribution enables the design of the individual tooth meshes without load increases and oversizing. However, a varying load distribution has been observed in planetary gearboxes with respect to the rotation of the carrier which is caused by misaligned central shafts of the gearbox. This behavior is influenced by several factors, such as manufacturing and assembly deviations, the rigidity of shafts, housing and bearings, the number of planets, the quality of the gear wheels and the operating conditions. To determine the exact load distribution, detailed simulations or extensive experimental prototype tests are required. In an early design phase, these detailed boundary conditions are not yet defined and their effect on a moving contact pattern therefore cannot be reliably considered.Thus, in this paper an experimental investigation of the influencing factors on a varying load distribution with regard to the carrier rotation is presented. Based on experimental data recommendations for the design of planetary gearboxes are derived.
Simulation extractable versions of Groth’s zk-SNARK revisited

Published: September 2023

AbstractZero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (zk-SNARKs) are the most efficient proof systems in terms of proof size and verification. Currently, Groth’s scheme from EUROCRYPT 2016, $$\textsf{Groth16}$$

, is the state-of-the-art and is widely deployed in practice. $$\textsf{Groth16}$$

Groth

Groth

proposed by Bowe and Gabizon, BG18, the most efficient one in terms of prover efficiency and CRS size among the candidates, and present a more efficient variant that saves 2 pairings in the verification and 1 group element in the proof. This supersedes our preliminary construction, presented in CANS 2020 (Baghery et al. in CANS 20, volume 12579 of LNCS, Springer, Heidelberg. pp 453-461, 2020), which saved 1 pairing in the verification, and was proven in the generic group model. Our new construction also improves on BG18 in that our proofs are in the algebraic group model with Random Oracles and reduces security to standard computational assumptions in bilinear groups (as opposed to using the full power of the generic group model (GGM)). We implement our proposed simulation extractable zk-SNARK (SE zk-SNARK) along with BG18 in the library, and compare the efficiency of our scheme with some related works. Our empirical experiences confirm that our SE zk-SNARK is more efficient than all previous simulation extractable (SE) schemes in most dimensions and it has very close efficiency to the original $$\textsf{Groth16}$$

Clinical and immunological characterisation of patients with common variable immunodeficiency related immune thrombocytopenia
Authors: Somasundaram Nadia , Meyer Oliver , Scheibenbogen Carmen , Hanitsch Leif Gunnar , Stittrich Anna , Kölsch Uwe , Wittke Kirsten 
Published: September 2023

AbstractPrimary Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease. Secondary ITP occurs in patients with underlying diseases such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). CVID is one of the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiencies in adults, characterised by infectious and non-infectious symptoms. Amongst CVID patients, ITP is the most frequent autoimmune manifestation. In this single-centre study, we performed a clinical and immunological characterisation of 20 patients with CVID-related ITP and 20 ITP patients without CVID to compare severity and remission rates. We found that patients with CVID-related ITP had a higher WHO Bleeding Scale at initial diagnosis yet showed higher remission rates and required less treatment. Patients with ITP needed up to seven therapy options and were often treated with second-line drug therapy, whilst only one CVID-related ITP patient required second-line drug therapy. Therefore, we show that the course of thrombocytopenia in patients with CVID-related ITP is milder. Furthermore, we show that soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R, CD25) was higher in CVID-related ITP compared to ITP patients and could accurately classify patient cohorts with an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic of 0.92. Whilst none of the ITP patients had a history of immunodeficiency, we found immunological abnormalities in 12 out of 18 patients. Therefore, we recommend screening ITP patients for CVID and other immunodeficiencies to detect immune abnormalities early, as we found patients with reduced immunoglobulin levels as well as severe lymphocytopenia in our ITP cohort.
Iterative threshold-based Naïve bayes classifier
Authors: Romano Maurizio , Zammarchi Gianpaolo , Conversano Claudio 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe iterative Threshold-based Naïve Bayes (iTb-NB) classifier is introduced as a (simple) improved version of the previously introduced non-iterative Threshold-based Naïve Bayes (Tb-NB) classifier. iTb-NB starts from a Natural Language text-corpus and allows the user to quantify with a numeric value a sentiment (positive or negative) from a specific test. Differently from Tb-NB, iTb-NB is an algorithm aimed at estimating multiple threshold values that concur to refine Tb-NB’s decision rules when classifying a text into positive (negative) based on its content. Observations with sentiment scores close to the threshold are marked to be reclassified, hence a new decision rule is defined for them. Such “iterative” process improves the quality of predictions w.r.t. Tb-NB but keeping the possibility to utilize its results as the input of useful post-hoc analyses. The effectiveness of iTb-NB is evaluated analyzing hotel guests’ reviews from all hotels located in the Sardinia region and available on Booking.com. Furthermore, iTb-NB is compared with Tb-NB in terms of model accuracy, resistance to noise, and computational efficiency.
Biotechnology activism is dead; long live biotechnology activism! The lure and legacy of market-based food movement strategies
Authors: Pechlaner Gabriela 
Published: September 2023

AbstractScholarly debate over the transformative potential of neoliberal, market-based, food movement strategies historically contrasts those who value their potential to reform the food-system from the inside against those who argue that their use concedes the primacy of the market, creates citizen-consumers, and undermines overall movement goals. While narrow case studies have provided important amendments, the legacy of such strategies requires impacts to be evaluated both contextually and more broadly than the specific activism. This study thus conceptualizes the ‘case’ of U.S. biotechnology market activism expansively, drawing on interviews with 25 activists from diverse organizations to investigate the legacy of two food-labeling movement strategies (one public and mandatory, one private and voluntary). The results support that the legacy of market strategies extends more broadly than the immediate initiative. They also confirm that the consequences of such neoliberalized strategies are most productively assessed contextually and applied, rather than categorically—as most clearly illustrated by the counterintuitive results of the failed mandatory labeling effort. Of the two market strategies, voluntary labeling demonstrated the most problematic relationship to broader movement goals of food system transformation, in part because of the greater potential for overlapping credence claims and in part due to the risks of niche market logic.
Modulation of Turbulence Flux Budgets by Varying Fluid Properties in Heated High Prandtl Number Flow
Authors: Irrenfried Christoph , Steiner Helfried 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe accurate computational modelling of momentum and heat transfer in turbulent wall-bounded flow is still a challenging task, especially for fluids with high molecular Prandtl numbers. Due to the steep temperature gradients, the strong variation of fluid properties becomes an additional important issue. The present Direct Numerical Simulation study specially addresses this problem considering a representative working fluid in terms of a real heat transfer oil with temperature-dependent material properties. Near the heated wall, the increase in molecular viscosity significantly attenuates the turbulent convective fluxes of both momentum and heat, despite the markedly increased enthalpy fluctuations. As the thermal conductivity decreases markedly less with temperature than the viscosity, the dampened turbulent mixing significantly reduces the Nusselt number, whereas the skin friction coefficient only marginally differs from the constant fluid property case. The attenuation of the radial velocity fluctuation consistently reduces the production terms in the budgets of the turbulent momentum and heat fluxes, while the production of the enthalpy fluctuations is only shifted away from the wall without significant change in peak level. The also attenuated redistribution in the turbulent axial stress budget reduces the pressure-strain based steering of turbulence towards isotropy. Facing a consequently more anisotropic turbulent motion poses a further difficulty to standard turbulence modelling mostly developed for isotropic turbulence.
Slip and Twinning in Bravais Lattices
Authors: Ball John M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA unified treatment of slip and twinning in Bravais lattices is given, focussing on the case of cubic symmetry, and using the Ericksen energy well formulation, so that interfaces correspond to rank-one connections between the infinitely many crystallographically equivalent energy wells. Twins are defined to be such rank-one connections involving a nontrivial reflection of the lattice across some plane. The slips and twins minimizing shear magnitude for cubic lattices are rigorously calculated, and the conjugates of these and other slips analyzed. It is observed that all rank-one connections between the energy wells for the dual of a Bravais lattice can be obtained explicitly from those for the original lattice, so that in particular the rank-one connections for fcc can be obtained explicitly from those for bcc.

AbstractUnderstanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of river water chemistry from its source to sinks is critical for constraining the origin, transformation, and “hotspots” of contaminants in a river basin. To provide new spatiotemporal constraints on river chemistry, dissolved trace element concentrations were measured at 17 targeted locations across the Ramganga River catchment. River water samples were collected across three seasons: pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon between 2019 and 2021. To remove the dependency of trace element concentrations on discharge, we used molar ratios, as discharge data on Indian transboundary rivers are not publicly available. The dataset reveals significant spatiotemporal variability in dissolved trace element concentrations of the Ramganga River. Samples collected upstream of Moradabad, a major industrial city in western Uttar Pradesh, are characterized by ~ 1.2–2.5 times higher average concentrations of most of the trace elements except Sc, V, Cr, Rb, and Pb, likely due to intense water–rock interactions in the headwaters. Such kind of enrichment in trace metal concentrations was also observed at sites downstream of large cities and industrial centers. However, such enrichment was not enough to bring a major change in the River Ganga chemistry, as the signals got diluted downstream of the Ramganga-Ganga confluence. The average river water composition of the Ramganga River was comparable to worldwide river water composition, albeit a few sites were characterized by very high concentrations of dissolved trace elements. Finally, we provide an outlook that calls for an assessment of stable non-traditional isotopes that are ideally suited to track the origin and transformation of elements such as Li, Mg, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Ag, Cd, Sn, Pt, and Hg in Indian rivers.
A decomposition and decoupling analysis for carbon dioxide emissions: evidence from OECD countries
Authors: Magazzino Cosimo , Pakrooh Parisa , Abedin Mohammad Zoynul 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDespite the huge difference in their climatic regimes, the OECD countries are among the world’s largest energy consumers and emitters of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide. Nonetheless, no studies have been conducted to decompose and decouple the long-term influential primary factors of carbon emissions for these countries. In this research, the Log Mean Divisia Method I is used to inspect the contribution of several influencing factors to fill this knowledge gap. Moreover, Tapio (Transp Policy 12(2):137–151, 2005) decomposition analysis (DA) is performed to investigate the driving forces of CO2 emissions over the 1990–2019 years. The study provides an in-depth analysis of how to reduce CO2 emissions and the factors that contribute to their variation, which is crucial for both global and regional climate change policies. DA shows that, up to 2004, the activity effect and the population effect drove the emissions to increase; while, in more recent years, the activity effect was able to curb the emissions. Decoupling analysis show the prevalence of the expansive negative decoupling regime for the 1990–2004 and 2015–2019 periods, while several countries were in the strong decoupling phase over the central period (2005–2009). According to the results, further efforts to increase energy efficiency, political support for digitalization and decentralized energy systems, and setting up a unique emission trading system are recommended for air pollution reduction.
Heidegger’s Worldview – Freedom, Control and Affectivity
Authors: Lepis Beatrix Susanne 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe tendency of individuals to protect their own worldview by rejecting information and phenomena that cannot be reconciled with it is a significant issue in today’s polarised society. This paper aims to gain a deeper insight into this tendency towards exclusion and the impact it has on worldview by examining a particular interpretation of worldview developed in the late 1930s by Martin Heidegger. It is a radical account that portrays a highly restrictive and extremely closed-off model of worldview, within which exclusion plays a key role. The impact of this exclusion on the nature and shape of worldview is explored by analysing worldview from three distinct perspectives focusing on (1) its appearance, marked by freedom and safety, (2) its inner dynamic, marked by absolute control, and (3) its affective background, marked by frantic struggle and dread. The analysis reveals a dread-fuelled, highly reactionary, and thus extremely fragile structure that is fundamentally shaped by the endless effort to conceal the exclusion on which it is built, resulting in a complete inability to engage with that which is excluded without severely endangering the very existence of that worldview.

Published: September 2023

AbstractVarious studies have demonstrated the environmental problems caused by plastic bags (PB) made with hydrocarbons, and therefore international policies have been established to replace the use of conventional PB by biobags or compostable bags, which are designed to be biodegradable and/or composted in the environment. However, the methods used to characterize such bags are still far from being effectively assessed. This study evaluated a technique to identify biodegradable, compostable and/or toxic PB by feeding compostable bags certified by recognized institutions to larvae of theTenebrionidaefamily, particularlyTenebrio molitorandZophobas moriospecies. Three brands of single-use bags were studied, and the following parameters were evaluated: rate of consumption (of bags by larvae), percentage of biomass (weight increase in larvae), percentage of survival (percentage of larvae eating bags), percentage of biodegradability by evaluating the total organic carbon (TOC) in stool, and stool analysis by spectroscopy and spectrometry. The results showed differences between the rate of consumption, the EHappy bag being the most consumed; there were differences in the percentage of biomass, the EHappy bag showing less potential for biomass increase; both species showed lower survival with the Ealternative bag. TOC evaluation indicated that the WCare bag presents the highest biodegradability; the total reflectance attenuated infrared analysis showed a decrease in the representative peaks of the spectrum of PB, evidencing biodegradation; and the amount of metals in feces was found within the Maximum Permissible Limits. The two species showed a good performance, demonstrating that they can be used as a suitable and viable tool to evaluate toxicity, biodegradability and compostability.
Comparing the Symptomatology of Post-stroke Depression with Depression in the General Population: A Systematic Review
Authors: Blake J. J. , Gracey F. , Whitmore S. , Broomfield N. M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractPrevious research into the phenomenological differences of post-stroke depression (PSD) has typically focused on comparisons of symptom profiles between stroke and non-stroke population controls. This systematic review aimed to synthesize these findings with results from other methodological approaches that contribute to an understanding of phenomenological differences. Articles were identified via a systematic search of seven databases and additional manual searching. A narrative synthesis approach was adopted because of the high methodological heterogeneity. Twelve articles comparing the symptomatology of depression between stroke and non-stroke controls were included. Three distinct methodological approaches, relevant to the aim, were identified: comparisons of profiles among groups with similar overall depression severity, comparisons of the strengths of correlations between a symptom and depression, and comparisons of latent symptom severity. The symptomatology of depression was generally similar between the groups, including somatic symptoms, despite the hypothesized interference of comorbid physical stroke effects. Despite high heterogeneity, there was a tentative indication that post-stroke depression manifests with comparatively less severe/prevalent anhedonia. Possible mechanisms for the observed similarities and differences are explored, including suggestions for future research.
