Contributions of the voluntary local review process to policy integration: evidence from frontrunner cities
Authors: Ortiz-Moya Fernando , Reggiani Marco 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relies on effective policy integration at all levels of government. However, integration across policy domains remains challenging for local authorities, particularly when it comes to articulating policies that recognise trade-offs and interactions between different SDGs. This study explores how the Voluntary Local Review (VLR) process—a tool to localise the 2030 Agenda—contributes to policy integration by thematically analysing interviews with city officials in 12 frontrunner cities that conducted a VLR between 2019 and 2020. Our results suggest three main ways in which the VLR process affects policy integration: (1) by facilitating cooperation and interdependencies between different policy sectors; (2) by creating new instruments to mainstream SDGs; and (3) by enhancing sustainability competencies. Hence, our study suggests that conducting a VLR has the transformative potential to achieve greater policy integration and further the 2030 Agenda.

Published: April 2023

AbstractResearch is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was conducted with a random sample (n = 2,121) including men and women from three generations (30–39, 50–59 and 70–79-year-olds) in Sweden. The generations shared some attitudes toward and acceptance of technologies for active and healthy aging. However, what kind of technologies are preferred to support active and healthy aging and the reasons for using certain technologies differed by generation. The findings could help guide the development and implementation of technologies for active and healthy aging throughout the aging process.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn nanotechnology, compounds containing metal materials are used in pharmaceutical sciences. The main purpose of this research was to introduce a novel method to control the amount of zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF) in water by forming a protective layer such as layered double hydroxide (LDH). Firstly, ZIF was synthesised as the nucleus of the nanocomposite, and then LDH was formed by in situ synthesis as a protective layer. Scanning electron microscope, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐Ray Diffraction, and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller techniques were used to determine (ZIF‐8@LDH chemical structure and morphology. Our findings revealed that the ZIF‐8@LDH‐MTX complex could interact with carboxyl groups and trivalent cations by creating a bifurcation bridge, clarity, and high thermal stability. The antibacterial test indicated that ZIF‐8@LDH was able to inhibit pathogenic growth. 2,5‐Diphenyl‐2H‐Tetrazolium Bromide assay results showed that ZIF‐8@LDH alone had no notable cytotoxic effect on Michigan Cancer Foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) cancer cells. However, the cytotoxicity rate was significantly increased in treated MCF‐7 cells with ZIF‐8@LDH‐MTX compared to that of treated cells with methotrexate alone, which can be reasoned by the protection of drug structure and increasing its permeability. The drug release profile was constant at pH = 7.4. All findings indicated that the ZIF‐8@LDH complex could be considered a newly proposed solution for effective anti‐cancer drug delivery.
Expectations for fast radio bursts in neutron star–massive star binaries
Authors: Rajwade K. M. , van den Eijnden J. 
Published: April 2023

Context. Recent observations of a small sample of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) have revealed a periodicity in their bursting activity that suggests a binary origin for the modulation.
Aims. We set out to explore the scenario where a subset of repeating FRBs originates in binary systems that host a highly energetic neutron star and a massive companion star, akin to γ-ray binaries and young high-mass X-ray binaries.
Methods. In this scenario, we infer observables, compare them with current observational constraints, and make predictions for future observations. Firstly, we specifically focused on the host galaxy properties and binary formation rates. Subsequently, we investigated the expected evolution of the rotation and dispersion measure in this scenario, the predicted birth site offsets, and the origin of the persistent radio emission observed in a subset of these systems.
Results. The host galaxies for repeating FRBs favour the formation of neutron star–massive star binary systems, but any conclusive evidence will require future discoveries and localisations of FRBs. The birth rate of high-mass X-ray binaries, used as a proxy for all considered binaries, significantly exceeds the estimated rate of FRBs, which can be explained if only a small subset of these systems produce FRBs. We show that, under simple assumptions, we can reproduce the dispersion measure and rotation measure evolution that is seen in a subset of repeating FRBs. We also discuss the possibility of detecting a persistent radio source associated with the FRB due to an intra-binary shock between the companion star wind and either the pulsar wind or giant magnetar flares. The observed long-term luminosity stability of the persistent radio sources is most consistent with a giant flare-powered scenario. However, this explanation is highly dependent on the magnetic field properties of the neutron star.
Conclusions. With these explorations, we provide a framework to discuss future FRB observations in the context of neutron star–massive star binary scenarios. We conclude that more localisations and observations of repeaters will be necessary to conclusively determine or rule out a connection between (repeating) FRBs and such binaries.

Context. We present a novel approach to the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for large-scale structure analysis based on the distribution of dark matter halos obtained with effective bias models at the field level.
Aims. We aim to produce mock galaxy catalogues capable of generating accurate covariance matrices for a number of cosmological probes that are expected to be measured in current and forthcoming galaxy redshift surveys (e.g. two- and three-point statistics). The construction of the catalogues shown in this paper is part of a mock-comparison project within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration.
Methods. We use the bias assignment method (BAM) to model the statistics of halo distribution through a learning algorithm using a few detailed N-body simulations, and approximated gravity solvers based on Lagrangian perturbation theory. We introduce cosmic-web-dependent corrections to modelling redshift-space distortions at the N-body level – both in the halo and galaxy distributions –, as well as a multi-scale approach for accurate assignment of halo properties. Using specific models of halo occupation distributions to populate halos, we generate galaxy mocks with the expected number density and central-satellite fraction of emission-line galaxies, which are a key target of the DESI experiment.
Results. BAM generates mock catalogues with per cent accuracy in a number of summary statistics, such as the abundance, the two- and three-point statistics of halo distributions, both in real and redshift space. In particular, the mock galaxy catalogues display ∼3%−10% accuracy in the multipoles of the power spectrum up to scales of k ∼ 0.4 h−1Mpc. We show that covariance matrices of two- and three-point statistics obtained with BAM display a similar structure to the reference simulation.
Conclusions. BAM offers an efficient way to produce mock halo catalogues with accurate two- and three-point statistics, and is able to generate a variety of multi-tracer catalogues with precise covariance matrices of several cosmological probes. We discuss future developments of the algorithm towards mock production in DESI and other galaxy-redshift surveys.

Context.The Spectrometer and Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) on board Solar Orbiter observes solar X-ray emission in the range of 4–150 keV and produces spectra and images of solar flares over a wide range of flare magnitudes. During nominal operation, STIX continuously generates data. A constant data flow requires fully automated data-processing pipelines to process and analyze the data, and a data platform to manage, visualize, and distribute the data products to the scientific community.Aims.The STIX Data Center has been built to fulfill these needs. In this paper, we outline its main components to help the community better understand the tools and data it provides.Methods.The STIX Data Center is operated at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and consists of automated processing pipelines and a data platform. The pipelines process STIX telemetry data, perform common analysis tasks, and generate data products at different processing levels. They have been designed to operate fully automatically with minimal human intervention. The data platform provides web-based user interfaces and application programmable interfaces for searching and downloading STIX data products.Results.The STIX Data Center has been operating successfully for more than two years. The platform facilitates instrument operations and provides vital support to STIX data users.
Reaction dynamics on amorphous solid water surfaces using interatomic machine-learned potentials
Authors: Molpeceres G. , Zaverkin V. , Furuya K. , Aikawa Y. , Kästner J. 
Published: April 2023

Context. Energy redistribution after a chemical reaction is one of the few mechanisms that can explain the diffusion and desorption of molecules which require more energy than the thermal energy available in quiescent molecular clouds (10 K). This energy distribution can be important in phosphorous hydrides, elusive yet fundamental molecules for interstellar prebiotic chemistry.
Aims. Our goal with this study is to use state-of-the-art methods to determine the fate of the chemical energy in the simplest phosphorous hydride reaction.
Methods. We studied the reaction dynamics of the P + H → PH reaction on amorphous solid water, a reaction of astrophysical interest, using ab initio molecular dynamics with atomic forces evaluated by a neural network interatomic potential.
Results. We found that the exact nature of the initial phosphorous binding sites is less relevant for the energy dissipation process because the nascent PH molecule rapidly migrates to sites with higher binding energy after the reaction. Non-thermal diffusion and desorption after reaction were observed and occurred early in the dynamics, essentially decoupled from the dissipation of the chemical reaction energy. From an extensive sampling of on-site reactions, we constrained the average dissipated reaction energy within the simulation time (50 ps) to be between 50 and 70%. Most importantly, the fraction of translational energy acquired by the formed molecule was found to be mostly between 1 and 5%.
Conclusions. Including these values, specifically for the test cases of 2% and 5% of translational energy conversion, in astrochemical models, reveals very low gas-phase abundances of PHx molecules and reflects that considering binding energy distributions is paramount to correctly merging microscopic and macroscopic modelling of non-thermal surface astrochemical processes. Finally, we found that PD molecules dissipate more of the reaction energy. This effect can be relevant for the deuterium fractionation and preferential distillation of molecules in the interstellar medium.

Published: April 2023

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung ist eine schwerwiegende psychische Erkrankung mit hoher Krankheitslast. Für ihre Behandlung besteht jedoch noch keine störungsspezifische Pharmakotherapie-Empfehlung. In der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Verständnis der Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung der Störung sowie der Ableitung möglicher pharmakologischer Strategien besteht ein hohes Interesse an der Erforschung des Endocannabinoidsystems.Dieses Review fasst den gegenwärtigen Stand dieses jungen Forschungsfeldes zusammen. Dabei zeigt sich eine relevante Interaktion zwischen dem Endocannabinoidsystem und anderen biologischen Stressregulationssystemen, insbesondere der Hypothalamus-Hypophysen-Nebennieren-Achse. Es gibt erst wenige Untersuchungen zu Veränderungen des Endocannabinoidsystems bei der Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung, deren Befunde auf eine reduzierte Aktivität des Systems hinweisen. Klinische Studien sind nötig, um die möglichen Effekte einer Augmentation des Endocannabinoidsystems bei Symptomclustern der Borderline-Störung zu erforschen.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background Pedicle occlusion with total free flap loss after microvascular lower extremity reconstruction is a considerably rare yet devastating complication. Fortunately, in the majority of cases, emergency salvage takebacks of compromised free flaps are initiated in a timely manner. In this report, we present our analysis of long-term outcomes following transient vascular compromise mitigated through successful free flap salvage in the lower extremity.
Methods We performed a single-center retrospective matched-pair analysis of 46 patients with lower extremity free flap reconstructions. Cases underwent successful revisions of microvascular compromise (n = 23), whereas controls had uneventful postoperative courses (n = 23). Patient-reported outcome questionnaires and physical evaluations were used to assess general quality of life, functional outcomes, and cosmesis (Lower Extremity Functional Scale [LEFS], Lower Limb Outcomes Questionnaire [LLOQ], Short Form 36 (SF-36), Vancouver Scar Scale [VSS]). The mean follow-up time was 4.4 years.
Results The health-related quality of life assessed by the SF-36 did not differ significantly between both groups in any of the subscales (p ≥ 0.15 for all subscales). Functional outcomes did not show significant differences between both groups according to the LEFS (p = 0.78) and LLOQ (p = 0.45). The overall scar appearance assessed by the VSS showed significantly poorer cosmesis in the re-exploration group (p = 0.014).
Conclusion Salvage of compromised free flaps in the lower extremity yields similar long-term outcomes compared to noncompromised free flaps with regard to function and quality of life. However, free flap revisions may lead to impaired scar formation. This study provides further evidence that the opportunity for urgent re-exploration is indispensable.
Brightening the Study of Listening Effort with Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Scoping Review
Authors: Shatzer Hannah E. , Russo Frank A. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractListening effort is a long-standing area of interest in auditory cognitive neuroscience. Prior research has used multiple techniques to shed light on the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying listening during challenging conditions. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is growing in popularity as a tool for cognitive neuroscience research, and its recent advances offer many potential advantages over other neuroimaging modalities for research related to listening effort. This review introduces the basic science of fNIRS and its uses for auditory cognitive neuroscience. We also discuss its application in recently published studies on listening effort and consider future opportunities for studying effortful listening with fNIRS. After reading this article, the learner will know how fNIRS works and summarize its uses for listening effort research. The learner will also be able to apply this knowledge toward generation of future research in this area.
Privacy paradox in 3D body scanning technology: the effect of 3D virtual try-on experience in the relationship between privacy concerns and mobile app adoption intention

Published: April 2023

Abstract3D body scanning technology has emerged in the retail industry by providing easy access to consumers. The technology has been incorporated with virtual-try-on (VTO) services to capture the accurate size of the human body and to provide user-centric experiences to online consumers. While consumers can have their body images scanned and shared with retailers, it raises concerns related to body information security and privacy. With the concern implied, the purpose of this study is to understand the role of consumers’ interaction experience with Avatar-based VTO services in alleviating consumer concerns related to body information privacy to adopt 3D body scanning technology. By adopting the privacy calculus theory and stimulus-organism-response model, the dataset (n = 285) was collected from an online experiment. The direct and indirect paths (i.e., mediation and serial mediation effects) were analyzed by adopting the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. This study finds body information privacy concerns negatively influence the future adoption of 3D body scanning technology while the perception of interactive features (i.e., perceived control, perceived responsiveness) of the VTO service positively enhances the future adoption. The result also indicates that the negative effects of privacy concerns can be mitigated through consumer experiences enhanced by the personalization and responsiveness features of the VTO service. This study contributes to the literature and industry by examining the potential role of consumers’ interactive experiences in reducing their concerns about body information privacy.
Human capital space: a spatial perspective of the dynamics of people and economic relationships
Authors: Yang Zhenshan 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWhile researchers increasingly recognise drastic changes in populations and repeatedly emphasise their implications for development, far less attention is devoted to thinking of and making spaces available for people. This article proposes the concept of human capital space (HCS) and elaborates on its typology, spatial externalities, selection-sorting-matching mechanism, and crucial role in building dynamic capabilities in cities and regions. Theoretical discourses and constructs furnish reasons to believe that HCS is a useful instrument to examine the complex people–space relationship and to encourage conversations about the interactions among population, labour, economic geographies, and related disciplines. HCS provides a terrain for scientists to actively engage in human-centred spatial development, inform policies in a timely manner, and argue for effective investment in space to bolster the endogenous power of spatial development.

Abstract
The pressure in an underwater discharge channel is the main parameter that influences all its applications. In this study, we investigate a relatively large gap with a plane-to-plane electrode geometry that uses the assistance of an injected gas bubble for breakdown. The delay in the application of high voltage following the injection of a gas bubble from a grounded electrode determines the initial dimensions of the bubble. We examined three types of discharge: (a) a large bubble with easy triggering, (b) a medium bubble, and (c) a small bubble with difficult triggering. The main diagnostic tool is H
α
line broadening. It is shown that (i) Doppler broadening plays no role; (ii) at pressure broadening, the resonance and van der Waals broadenings must be considered; (iii) the impact approximation is not applicable, and hence the quasi-static high-pressure (namely ‘nearest neighbour’) approximation must be used; and (iv) the Stark broadening plays the dominant role. Because a mixture of two gases (evaporated water vapour and nitrogen from bubble injection) is present in the discharge channel, simple thermodynamic considerations were applied to estimate the ratio of the contributions of resonance and van der Waals broadening. The larger the bubble, the smaller the pressure detected in the discharge channel. This is in agreement with the measurements of the pressure wave amplitude at a certain distance from the discharge channel using a piezoelectric pressure probe.
Eye lens dose for medical staff assisting patients during computed tomography: comparison of several types of radioprotective glasses

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Medical staff sometimes assists patients in the examination room during computed tomography (CT) scans for several purposes. This study aimed to investigate the dose reduction effects of four radioprotective glasses with different lead equivalents and lens shapes. A medical staff phantom was positioned assuming body movement restraint of the patient during chest CT, and Hp(3) at the eye surfaces of the medical staff phantom and inside the lens of the four types of radioprotective glasses were measured by changing the distance of the staff phantom from the gantry, eye height, and width of the nose pad. The Hp(3) at the right eye surface with glasses of 0.50–0.75 mmPb and 0.07 mmPb was approximately 83.5% and 58.0%, respectively, lower than that without radioprotective glasses. The dose reduction rates at left eye surface increased with over-glass type glasses by 14%–28% by increasing the distance from the CT gantry to the staff phantom from 25 to 65 cm. The dose reduction rates at the left eye surface decreased with over-glass type glasses by 26%–31% by increasing the height of the eye lens for the medical staff phantom from 130 to 170 cm. The Hp(3) on the left eye surface decreased by 46.9% with the widest nose pad width compared to the narrowest nose pad width for the glasses with adjustable nose pad width. The radioprotective glasses for staff assisting patients during CT examinations should have a high lead equivalent and no gap around the nose and under the front lens.
