Polarography and pharmacy: a centenary of mutual interaction
Authors: Nesměrák Karel , Chalupa Radek 
Published: June 2023

AbstractOn the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of polarography, this article studies the mutual interactions between polarography and pharmacy. It highlights the relationship of the discoverer of polarography, Jaroslav Heyrovský (1890–1967), to pharmacy. The article shows how quickly and widely polarography has been applied to pharmacy. The contribution of polarography to the quality control of pharmaceutical substances and dosage forms is discussed, including some interesting solutions to problems with the measurement of substances that are difficult to determine electrochemically. The integration of polarography into pharmacopoeias is also followed. Next, the use of polarography in the determination of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples for pharmacological purposes is discussed. Finally, the application of polarography in the development of new drugs is reviewed. Although classical polarography on a dropping mercury electrode is nowadays seldom used, its contribution to pharmacy is considerable, and, moreover, new voltammetric methods derived from polarography still have a useful and irreplaceable position in pharmacy.

ZusammenfassungWachsende Herausforderungen im Wasserversorgungsmanagement unter Einflüssen des globalen Wandels erfordern institutionsübergreifende, regionale und dauerhaft etablierte Grundwassermodelle, um unterschiedliche wasserwirtschaftliche Akteure und Vorhaben kontinuierlich aufeinander abzustimmen. Das vorgestellte stationäre Strömungsmodell für Ostfriesland ist ein erster Schritt hin zu einem solchen regional integrierten Grundwassermanagement. Das Strömungsmodell fußt auf einem geologischen Modell, erstellt aus über 28.000 Bohrprofilen, und wurde kalibriert an über 800 Grundwasserstandszeitreihen. Die Kalibrierung ist gut gelungen. Ein Modelltest plausibilisiert die Eignung des Modells als Planungs- und Prognosewerkzeug. Anwendungsfelder des Models gliedern sich in die Analyse einer möglichen Überlagerung von Grundwasserabsenkungen verschiedener Nutzer, die Abschätzung der Betroffenheit ökologischer Schutzgüter, die Prüfung des mengenmäßigen Zustandes verschiedener Grundwasserkörper, die Auswirkung veränderter Grundwasserneubilungsszenarien unter Einflüssen des Klimawandels oder die planerische Erkundung und Entwicklung neuer Grundwassergewinnungsgebiete. Aufgrund der detaillierten Modellbeschreibung kann der vorliegende Fall als orientierendes Beispiel für die Ansätze, Chancen und Herausforderungen regionaler Grundwasserströmungsmodelle dienen.

Published: June 2023

ZusammenfassungMehr als 50 % der Studienabschlüsse in der Medizin werden von Frauen geleistet, jedoch erklimmen vor allem im universitätsmedizinischen Sektor nur knapp 9 % der Frauen auch Leitungspositionen. Die Gründe hierfür sind komplex und nicht allein mit gleichstellungspolitischen Instrumenten zu bewältigen. Vielmehr muss eine Kulturveränderung im Arbeitssektor erreicht werden, in der Chancen und Teilhabe nicht über das Geschlecht segregiert werden. Ziel des Vortrags auf der Wiener Dreiländertagung war, Zahlen aus der universitären Gefäßchirurgie in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz und die Beteiligung von Frauen an dem wissenschaftlichen Kongress darzustellen und die Notwendigkeit eines Umdenkens zu unterstreichen, um den Bereich auch langfristig qualitativ und quantitativ gut präsentieren zu können.
Floating offshore wind projects development in South Korea without government subsidies
Authors: Lee Jongmin , Xydis George 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe South Korean government is encouraging the active participation of power generation companies in the offshore wind power project by announcing the renewable energy certificates (REC) weighting plan. However, from a long-term perspective, the offshore wind power must be able to generate profits without government support to demonstrate its business feasibility and attract the voluntary participation of power generation companies. This is because government support may be subject to change, depending on the internal and external political circumstances of the country. This report calculates the expected costs for a 495 MW floating offshore wind farm in South Korea’s market environment and examines how the feasibility of the project shifts depending on the country’s current REC weights. Furthermore, this study intends to determine whether floating offshore wind power can generate profits without the Korean government’s support by calculating the expected profit in combination with the green hydrogen project. The net present value, levelized cost of energy and internal rate of return (IRR) indexes are calculated according to the project’s specific particularities, such as power purchase agreement, REC weighting, distance from shore and sea depth. Based on this, an index-based comparison is revealed and the margin for profitability for such an investment is discussed. The calculation results revealed that with a decrease in capital expenditures and operating expenditure or an increase in the system marginal price under specific assumptions, the value of IRR increased.
Changing local climate patterns through hail suppression systems: conflict and inequalities between farmers and wine producers in the Burgundy Region (France)

AbstractMeteorological hazards can lead farmers to resort to strategies such as weather modifications. In this paper, we study how the use of such strategies, in this case silver iodide ground generators aimed at protecting vineyards from hail, caused a conflict between farmers (wine producers and cattle breeders) in Burgundy, France. The conflict emerged as the installation of these generators coincided with 3 years of severe droughts (2018, 2019 and 2020), which incurred additional expenses and organisational difficulties for local cattle breeders and led them to suspect a potential link between the generators and the droughts. We followed a transdisciplinary research approach, based on local stakeholder input and their need to mitigate the negative impacts of the conflict. Based on this approach, we studied the links between generator use and precipitation, and carried out in-depth interviews to study farmers’ experiences of climate, generators and conflicts in the region. Whilst the climatic analysis shows no local or regional effects of the generators on precipitation volumes, the sociological study highlights the vulnerability of farmers to successive droughts, found to be part of a wider pattern of climate change based on water balance variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration potential, soil wetness index) over a long period (1959–2020). Our results suggest that the use of technical solutions to mitigate meteorological hazards, within a broader context of climate engineering, can lead to conflicts at the regional level, and that the climate change challenge in the context of agriculture requires a focus on wider social issues including vulnerability.

AbstractCervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease representing the most common spinal cord disorder in the adult population. It is characterized by chronic compression leading to neurological dysfunction due to static and dynamic injury of the spinal cord in cervical spine. These insidious damage mechanisms can result in the reorganization of cortical and subcortical areas. The cerebral cortex can reorganize due to spinal cord injury and may play a role in preserving neurological function. To date, the gold standard treatment of cervical myelopathy is surgery, comprising anterior, posterior, and combined approaches. However, the complex physiologic recovery processes involving cortical and subcortical neural reorganization following surgery are still inadequately understood. It has been demonstrated that diffusion MRI and functional imaging and techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can provide new insights into the diagnosis and prognosis of CSM. This review aims to shed light on the state-of-the-art regarding the pattern of cortical and subcortical areas reorganization and recovery before and after surgery in CSM patients, underlighting the critical role of neuroplasticity.

AbstractSpinal arachnoid web (SAW) is a rare disease entity characterized as band-like arachnoid tissue that can cause spinal cord compression and syringomyelia. This study aimed to analyze the surgical management of the spinal arachnoid web in patients with syringomyelia, focusing on surgical strategies and outcomes. A total of 135 patients with syringomyelia underwent surgery at our department between November 2003 and December 2022. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a special syringomyelia protocol (including TrueFISP and CINE), and electrophysiology. Among these patients, we searched for patients with SAW with syringomyelia following careful analysis of neuroradiological data and surgical reports. The criteria for SAW were as follows: displacement of the spinal cord, disturbed but preserved CSF flow, and intraoperative arachnoid web. Patients were evaluated for initial symptoms, surgical strategies, and complications by reviewing surgical reports, patient documents, neuroradiological data, and follow-up data. Of the 135 patients, 3 (2.22%) fulfilled the SAW criteria. The mean patient age was 51.67 ± 8.33 years. Two patients were male, and one was female. The affected levels were T2/3, T6, and T8. Excision of the arachnoid web was performed in all cases. No significant change in intraoperative monitoring was noted. Postoperatively, none of the patients presented new neurological symptoms. The MRI 3 months after surgery revealed that the syringomyelia improved in all cases, and caliber variation of the spinal cord could not be detected anymore. All clinical symptoms improved. In summary, SAW can be safely treated by surgery. Even though syringomyelia usually improves on MRI and symptoms also improve, residual symptoms might be observed. We advocate for clear criteria for the diagnosis of SAW and a standardized diagnostic (MRI including TrueFISP and CINE).
Intimate Partner Violence and Business: Exploring the Boundaries of Ethical Enquiry

Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this article, we conceptualize the under investigated and under theorized relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and business responsibility. As an urgent social issue, IPV—understood as abuse of power within the context of an intimate partner relationship, mainly perpetrated by men and involving a pattern of behavior—has been studied for decades in many disciplines. A less common yet vital research perspective is to examine IPV as it relates to the business and to ask how organizations should engage with IPV. In response to this question, we contribute a framework drawing from two distinctions in the business responsibility scholarship: the assumed role of the organization (responsibility to the firm/market; responsibility to the broader socio-political-economic environment); and the second focused on the approach to conceptualizing ethics (justice/fairness; ethics of care). Thus, we explicate four approaches to business responsibility and IPV, which serve the purposes of mapping three selected contributions, identifying limitations of these approaches, and opening up future research opportunities.
Numerical analysis of glass edge chipping by impact loading

AbstractThis study presents numerical analyses for edge chipping by impact loading. As a numerical analysis method, we extend Particle Discretization Scheme Finite Element Method (PDS-FEM) developed by the authors to be able to simulate fracture due to impact loading. We performed simulations targeting edge chipping of soda-lime glass by impact of rigid steel sphere and examined the crack morphology while varying the diameter of the impactor, the impact velocity, and the impact distance. The proposed method successfully simulates the 3D complex crack pattern on edge chipping such as Hertzian cone crack and conchoidal chip scar. The method also reproduces the change of crack morphologies depending on the impact force and the impact distance. Also, a series of numerical analyses is presented to reveal the effect of the impactor geometry on the chip dimensions. The height of chip is independent of the impactor geometry while the width of chip depends on it. According to the agreement with experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed method is capable of realizing edge chipping due to impact loading.
Theory and methods of the multiverse: an application for panel-based models
Authors: Cantone Giulio Giacomo , Tomaselli Venera 
Published: June 2023

AbstractMultiverse analysis involves systematically sampling a vast set of model specifications, known as a multiverse, to estimate the uncertainty surrounding the validity of a scientific claim. By fitting these specifications to a sample of observations, statistics are obtained as analytical results. Examining the variability of these statistics across different groups of model specifications helps to assess the robustness of the claim and gives insights into its underlying assumptions. However, the theoretical premises of multiverse analysis are often implicit and not universally agreed upon. To address this, a new formal categorisation of the analytical choices involved in modelling the set of specifications is proposed. This method of indexing the specification highlights that the sampling structure of the multiversal sample does not conform to a model of independent and identically distributed draws of specifications and that it can be modelled as an information network instead. Hamming’s distance is proposed as a measure of network distance, and, with an application to a panel dataset, it is shown how this approach enhances transparency in procedures and inferred claims and that it facilitates the check of implicit parametric assumptions. In the conclusions, the proposed theory of multiversal sampling is linked to the ongoing debate on how to weigh a multiverse, including the debate on the epistemic value of crowdsourced multiverses.

Abstract
Lipschütz genital ulcer is a self-limited, non-sexually acquired disorder characterized by the sudden onset of a few ulcers. A primary Epstein-Barr virus infection is currently considered the most recognized cause. Recent reports document cases temporally related with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or immunization against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We carried out a review of the literature to investigate the possible association between COVID-19 or the immunization against SARS-CoV-2 and genital ulcer. The pre-registered study (CRD42023376260) was undertaken following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. Excerpta Medica, the National Library of Medicine, and Web of Sciences were searched. Inclusion criteria encompassed instances of acute Lipschütz ulcer episodes that were temporally linked to either COVID-19 or a vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Eighteen articles were retained. They provided information on 33 patients 15 (14–24) years of age (median and interquartile range), who experienced a total of 39 episodes of Lipschütz ulcer temporally associated with COVID-19 (N = 18) or an immunization against SARS-CoV-2 (N = 21). The possible concomitant existence of an acute Epstein-Barr virus infection was excluded in 30 of the 39 episodes. The clinical presentation and the disease duration were similar in episodes temporally associated with COVID-19 and in those associated with an immunization against SARS-CoV-2. In conclusion, COVID-19 and immunization against SARS-CoV-2 add to Epstein-Barr virus as plausible triggers of Lipschütz genital ulcer.
Follow-up study of children and adolescents during the stay-at-home directive decreed during the COVID-19 pandemic: how the way lockdown is interpreted affects mental health

AbstractThe present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study to follow up on the mental health of children and adolescents in Spain during COVID-19, a country in which a strict stay-at-home directive was issued as a result of the pandemic. We also explore the influence of fear of contagion and the attribution for lockdown on young people’s mental health. A sample of 278 children (8 to 12 years) and adolescents (13 to 18 years) were assessed at two time points in relation to different areas linked to well-being, fear of contagion and interpretation of the stringent lockdown as (i) a Punishment, (ii) a means of Slowing the Spread of the Virus, or (iii) a way of Protecting Others. The first time point (T1) was from March 22–25, 2020 (eight to eleven days into lockdown), and the second (T2) was from April 11–14, 2020 (28 to 31 days into lockdown). The results indicate that, following the initial impact of the lockdown, the deterioration observed in the mental health of children and adolescents seemed to stabilize, despite the prolonged nature of the strict stay-at-home directive. A more negative interpretation of the lockdown and greater fear of contagion by the COVID-19 virus resulted in poorer mental health. The present study may help inform the decision-making process regarding stringent lockdown orders for children and adolescents in future pandemics and establish guidelines for providing better support both during and after health crises.

Abstract
The Gangtok subdivision in east Sikkim district was developed under different geographical, lithological, and historical conditions. This research aimed towards creating a landslide susceptibility zone with the help of two GIS models, namely AHP (analytical hierarchy process) and FRM (frequency ratio model), used for landslide susceptibility mapping and make a comparison in accordance with their outputs. Primary data like the landslide location was collected by using the GPS technique and BHUVAN landslide inventory, while, photographic data were collected from various satellite images and theme-based images from BHUVAN, ENVIS, and Earth Explorer. Other secondary data were collected from the Survey of India (SOI), National Bureau of Soil Survey, Geological Survey of India, NRSC, India, and land use planning (NBSS&LUP), Census of India and Indian Meteorological Department. Eleven thematic layers including landslide inventory, rainfall, lithology, geomorphology, slope, aspect, curvature, distance from lineament, distance from the road, distance from drainage, and land use/land cover, were considered for the FRM method and the AHP method. AHP map captures 80% of the active slides in the very high to the high susceptible zones in comparison to the 75% active slide capture by the FRM method in the very high to high susceptible zone. For validation and comparison of the model output, the receiver operating curve (ROC) was applied to 30% cases out of the 100% of total landslides (92 landslide locations were marked). AHP method was found out to be the best among the two models with a 98% accuracy level. The risk mapping was done by integrating exposure map with hazard map along with physical vulnerability map of the study area. Through risk mapping it is seen that the eastern section of the study area has the least risk but on the contrary, the western zone is the riskier zone for landslide hazard. There has been also an attempt to find out plausible methods for landslide disaster management and mitigation for the study area.
Maternal Mindfulness During Pregnancy and Early Child Social-Emotional Development and Behavior Problems: The Potential Mediating Role of Maternal Mental Health
Authors: de Waal Noor , Boekhorst Myrthe G. B. M. , Nyklíček Ivan , Pop Victor J. M. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Objectives
During the perinatal period, women are exposed to major changes, holding possible adverse effects on psychological well-being and child development. An effective way of coping with these challenges and adjustments could be mindfulness. The current study examined associations of mindfulness facets during pregnancy with toddler’s social-emotional development and behavior problems, as well as potentially mediating effects of maternal mental health.

Method
A total of 167 women completed questionnaires during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and 2 and 3 years after childbirth, assessing dispositional mindfulness, pregnancy distress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, child social-emotional development, and child behavior problems.

Results
There was a positive association between maternal non-reacting mindfulness skills and child social-emotional development at 2 years of age, regardless of mothers’ perinatal mental health, whereas other mindfulness facets were unrelated. Pregnancy distress mediated the association between maternal non-judging skills during pregnancy and child externalizing problem behavior, but no other mediating effects were found.

Conclusions
Non-reacting skills in mothers during pregnancy may have favorable implications for child social-emotional development. Due to the relatively high number of tests that were conducted, the mediating effect of pregnancy distress must be interpreted with caution.
