Abstract
Background
Habitat structure strongly influences niche differentiation, facilitates predator avoidance, and drives species-specific foraging strategies of bats. Vegetation structure is also a strong driver of echolocation call characteristics. The fine-scale assessment of how bats utilise such structures in their natural habitat is instrumental in understanding how habitat composition shapes flight- and acoustic behaviour. However, it is notoriously difficult to study their species-habitat relationship in situ.

Methods
Here, we describe a methodology combining Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to characterise three-dimensional vegetation structure and acoustic tracking to map bat behaviour. This makes it possible to study fine-scale use of habitat by bats, which is essential to understand spatial niche segregation in bats. Bats were acoustically tracked with microphone arrays and bat calls were classified to bat guild using automated identification. We did this in multiple LiDAR scanned vegetation plots in forest edge habitat. The datasets were spatially aligned to calculate the distance between bats’ positions and vegetation structures.

Results
Our results are a proof of concept of combining LiDAR with acoustic tracking. Although it entails challenges with combining mass-volumes of fine-scale bat movements and vegetation information, we show the feasibility and potential of combining those two methods through two case studies. The first one shows stereotyped flight patterns of pipistrelles around tree trunks, while the second one presents the distance that bats keep to the vegetation in the presence of artificial light.

Conclusion
By combining bat guild specific spatial behaviour with precise information on vegetation structure, the bat guild specific response to habitat characteristics can be studied in great detail. This opens up the possibility to address yet unanswered questions on bat behaviour, such as niche segregation or response to abiotic factors in interaction with natural vegetation. This combination of techniques can also pave the way for other applications linking movement patterns of other vocalizing animals and 3D space reconstruction.

Abstract
Background
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an allergic response characterized by type 2 inflammatory reactions mediated by T helper 2 cells (Th2). Th2 is characterized by elevated type 2 cytokines related to the humoral response, including Interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13, IL-25 and IL-33. Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is a distinguishable form of CRSwNP and is characterized by primary localized disease with non-invasive fungal hyphae, which causes immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mucosal hypersensitivity resulting in the formation of eosinophilic mucin. Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a pro-inflammatory factor that plays a very important role in eosinophil biology.

Objective
To explore the relation between IL-5 tissue protein expression and AFS.

Methods
A prospective study performed on 70 patients divided into 2 groups (50 cases of AFS and 20 control who underwent septoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy) to assess the role of IL5 in AFS compared to control.

Results
IL-5 was overexpressed in polyps of AFS patients compared to the control group denoting AFS as an eosinophilic mediated type 2 inflammation and highlighting a positive correlation with Lund MacKay radiological score and Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score for severity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms.

Conclusion
IL-5 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and severity of AFS. Thus, our results provide encouraging evidence supporting targeting IL5 as an eligible therapy of promising benefits in AFS.
Cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic roles of the ESCRT-III subunit Shrub in abscission of Drosophila sensory organ precursors
Authors: Bruelle Céline , Pinot Mathieu , Daniel Emeline , Daudé Marion , Mathieu Juliette , Borgne Roland Le 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Although the molecular mechanisms governing abscission of isolated cells have largely been elucidated, those underlying the abscission of epithelial progenitors surrounded by epidermal cells (ECs), connected via cellular junctions, remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the remodeling of the paracellular diffusion barrier ensured by septate junctions (SJs) during cytokinesis of Drosophila sensory organ precursors (SOPs). We found that SOP cytokinesis involves the coordinated, polarized assembly and remodeling of SJs in the dividing cell and its neighbors, which remain connected to the former via membrane protrusions pointing towards the SOP midbody. SJ assembly and midbody basal displacement occur faster in SOPs than in ECs, leading to quicker disentanglement of neighboring cell membrane protrusions prior to midbody release. As reported in isolated cells, the endosomal sorting complex required for the transport-III component Shrub/CHMP4B is recruited at the midbody and cell-autonomously regulates abscission. In addition, Shrub is recruited to membrane protrusions and is required for SJ integrity, and alteration of SJ integrity leads to premature abscission. Our study uncovers cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic functions of Shrub in coordinating remodeling of the SJs and SOP abscission.

Millimeter-wave Wideband High-isolation Antenna Array Based on End-fire Magnetoelectric Dipole Antenna for 5G Applications
Authors: Fan Fang-Fang , Chen Qing-Lin , Qin Kai 
Published: April 2023

In this paper, a millimeter-wave (mmW) wideband high-isolation wide-angle scanning antenna is presented. The end-fire magnetoelectric (ME) dipole with wideband impedance characteristic and wide beamwidth is selected. Based on the ME dipole, a 1×4 subarray with a stripline feed network is constructed to get higher antenna efficiency. Then, four 1×4 subarrays are adopted to form a 4×4 array to realize the wide-angle scanning performance. Furthermore, to get better isolation between the subarrays, the beam is tilted on the non-scanning plane; in addition, the resonant split rings are added on the background of the subarrays. With these two measures, the isolation between the subarrays can be effectively reduced, with more than 20 dB over the entire bandwidth. Owing to the wide beamwidth of ME dipole and high isolation between the subarrays, the 4×4 array can obtain the wide-angle scanning characteristic. The final antenna covers an operating bandwidth of 19.5% (24.25-29.5 GHz) with return loss more than 10 dB, which can meet the band in the 5G standard. The beam can scan approximately ±55∘ with a realized gain reduction under 3 dB within the wide operating bandwidth. Also, the simulated radiation efficiency of the array is more than 77% over almost the entire band. The antenna will be a potential candidate to be applied in 5G applications.

Published: April 2023

La línia XYZ va ser planificada en el context de la Guerra Civil Espanyola i, en concret, durant la Batalla de Llevant [abril-juliol de 1938]. És considerada, pels seus 150 km de longitud, la línia defensiva més llarga de la Història d’Espanya, ja que partia del Mediterrani, a Almenara [Castelló], i s’adaptava a l’orografia fins arribar a Santa Cruz de Moya [Conca]. Destacà per la seua efectivitat, ja que va aturar a les tropes lleials a Franco fins l’inici de la Batalla de l’Ebre. El present article, per una banda, contextualitza estos esdeveniments des del punt de vista històric, ja que la Batalla de Llevant ha sigut oblidada, o silenciada, per la historiografia durant molt de temps i mereix unes línies. Per altra banda, l’article detalla els objectius i el desenvolupament del projecte «Rutes de Memòria», així com altres propostes relacionades amb el turisme i l’educació, amb la finalitat de donar a conéixer estos recursos patrimonials, protegir-los i aportar un recurs turístic i educatiu que ajude a dinamitzar una zona que en un gran percentatge es troba en risc de despoblament.

Published: April 2023

As an inherent property of optical devices, dispersion plays an important role in the areas of optical communication and nonlinear optics. Traditional dispersion optimization approaches are time-consuming and power-hungry. In this paper, to accelerate the design of dispersive optical devices, an indirect inverse design method based on the long short-term memory forward model combined with gradient-free optimization algorithms is proposed. In the case of photonic crystal fiber, the results show that the forward model can predict the group velocity dispersion (GVD) with an accuracy of up to 99.62%, and the calculation speed is more than one thousand times faster than the conventional numerical simulations. The prediction accuracy of the inverse model is higher than 93%, with a calculation time of less than 20 s. In the case of slot waveguide, the results show that the forward model can predict the GVD with a prediction accuracy of 96.99% and the inverse design accuracy goes to 99%. The proposed machine learning model offers an efficient tool for dispersion optimization in both fiber and waveguide platforms.

Published: April 2023

Metasurfaces have intrigued long-standing research interests and developed multitudinous compelling applications owing to their unprecedented capability for manipulating electromagnetic waves, and the emerging programmable coding metasurfaces (PCMs) provide a real-time reconfigurable platform to dynamically implement customized functions. Nevertheless, most existing PCMs can only act on the single polarization state or perform in the limited polarization channel, which immensely restricts their practical application in multitask intelligent metadevices. Herein, an appealing strategy of the PCM is proposed to realize tunable functions in co-polarized reflection channels of orthogonal circularly polarized waves and in co-polarized and cross-polarized reflection channels of orthogonal linearly polarized waves from 9.0 to 10.5 GHz. In the above six channels, the spin-decoupled programmable meta-atom can achieve high-efficiency reflection and 1-bit digital phase modulation by selecting the specific ON/OFF states of two diodes, and the phase coding sequence of the PCM is dynamically regulated by the field-programmable gate array to generate the desired function. A proof-of-concept prototype is constructed to verify the feasibility of our methodology, and numerous simulation and experimental results are in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. This inspiring design opens a new avenue for constructing intelligent metasurfaces with higher serviceability and flexibility, and has tremendous application potential in communication, sensing, and other multifunctional smart metadevices.

Published: April 2023

Objectives
To conduct comparative cost analysis of hospital care for critically ill patients with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) versus patients with English proficiency (controls).

Patients and methods
We conducted a historical cohort study using propensity matching at Mayo Clinic Rochester, a quaternary care academic center. We included hospitalized patients who had at least one admission to ICU during a 10-year period between 1/1/2008-12/31/2017.

Results
Due to substantial differences in baseline characteristics of the groups, propensity matching for the covariates age, sex, race, ethnicity, APACHE 3 score, and Charlson Comorbidity score was used, and we achieved the intended balance. The final cohort included 80,404 patients, 4,246 with LEP and 76,158 controls. Patients with LEP had higher costs during hospital admission to discharge, with a mean cost difference of $3861 (95% CI $822 to $6900, p = 0.013) and also higher costs during index ICU admission to hospital discharge, with a mean cost difference of $3166 (95% CI $231 to $6101, p = 0.035). A propensity matched cohort including only those that survived showed those with LEP had significantly greater mean costs for all outcomes. Sensitivity analysis revealed that international patients with LEP had significantly greater overall hospital costs of $9,240 than patients with LEP who resided in the US (95% CI $3341 to $15,140, p = 0.002).

Conclusion
This is the first study to demonstrate significantly higher costs for patients with LEP experiencing a critical illness. The causes for this may be increased healthcare utilization secondary to communication deficiencies that impede timely decision making about care.
Innovation factor double circulation: Cross-border mobility and the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity
Authors: Song Wei , He Jing 
Published: April 2023

Objectives
The improvement of the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity depends not only on innovation factor double circulation, but also on cross-border mobility to a large extent.

Methodology
This paper constructs a model that demonstrates the impact of innovation factor double circulation and cross-border flow on the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity, and it seeks to estimate this impact by using panel data from China’s manufacturing industry taken from the period 2009–2020.

Findings
It finds the path dependence of innovation factors significantly increased their double circulation cost, and did not significantly improve the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity.

Conclusion
It finds the path dependence of innovation factors significantly increased their double circulation cost, and did not significantly improve the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity. Cross-border flow improves the marginal efficiency of innovation factors, realizes the spatial agglomeration of high-end innovation factors and greatly promotes the double circulation of innovation factors in a way that effectively improves the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity.

Implications
These conclusions have profound policy implications: cross-border flows can promote the incremental adjustment of innovation factors; fully release the development potential and toughness of the dual circulation of innovation factors; and are essentially conducive to improving the manufacturing industry’s total factor productivity.

Published: April 2023

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to education systems worldwide, increasing pre-existing concerns regarding university students’ mental health. Brazil was among the countries most affected by COVID-19 cases and deaths and was considered a pandemic epicenter. This study aimed to investigate Brazilian university students’ mental health status and perceived burdens during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material and methods
From November 2021 to March 2022, a cross-sectional and anonymous online survey was conducted among students of a Brazilian federal university. Mental health status (depressive symptoms, alcohol and drug consumption) and social and emotional aspects in the pandemic context (social support, perceived stress, loneliness, resilience, and self-efficacy) were assessed with standardized measures. Students’ attitudes toward the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination and perceived burdens of the pandemic were also investigated.

Results
A total of N = 2,437 students completed the online survey. The PHQ-9 mean sum score was 12.85 (SD = 7.40), while n = 1,488 (61.10%) participants reported a sum score of 10 or more, indicating clinically relevant depressive symptoms. Further, n = 808 (33.1%) of the total sample reported suicidal thoughts. Levels of depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and loneliness were higher among undergraduate/bachelor students than doctoral students. Almost all participants (97.3%) reported being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Multiple regression analyses showed that being single, having an income decreased during the pandemic, having a previous mental illness, having a chronic somatic condition, not finding positive aspects in the pandemic, lower self-efficacy, lower social support, lower resilience, and higher experienced loneliness were significantly associated with higher levels of depression.

Conclusions
The study showed high levels of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation among Federal University of Parana students. Therefore, health care providers and universities need to recognize and address mental health issues; psychosocial policies must be enhanced to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on students’ mental health and wellbeing.

Introduction
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has influenced health-care organization worldwide, including management of non-communicable diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac implantable electronic devices’ (CIEDs) implantation rates in Croatia.

Methods
A retrospective, observational, national study was conducted. The data on CIEDs’ implantation rates from 20 Croatian implantation centres, between January 2018 and June 2021, were extracted from the national Health Insurance Fund registry. Implantation rates before and after COVID-19 pandemic started, were compared.

Results
The overall numbers of CIED implantations in Croatia during COVID-19 pandemic were not different in comparison to 2 years pre-COVID-19 time (2618 vs. 2807, p = .081). The pacemaker implantation rates decreased significantly (by 45%) during April (122 vs. 223, p < .001) and May 2020 (135 vs. 244, p = .001), as well as during November 2020 (177 vs. 264, p = .003), but significantly increased during summer months 2020 comparing to 2018 and 2019 (737 vs. 497, p<0.001). The ICD implantation rates decreased significantly by 59% in April 2020 (26 vs. 64, p = .048).

Conclusion
To the authors best knowledge this is a first study including complete national data on CIED implantation rates and COVID-19 pandemic impact. A significant reduction in number of both pacemaker and ICD implants during specific months of the COVID-19 pandemic was determined. However, afterwards compensation in implants resulted in similar total number when the complete year was evaluated.
