Abstract
Purpose
To study the current practice for assessing comorbidity in adults with 21-hydroxylase CAH and to assess the prevalence of comorbidity in these adults.

Methods
A structured questionnaire was sent to 46 expert centres managing adults with CAH. Information collected included current therapy and surveillance practice with a particular focus on osteoporosis/osteopaenia, hyperlipidaemia, type 2 diabetes/hyperinsulinaemia, hypertension, CV disease, obesity.

Results
Of the 31 (67%) centres from 15 countries that completed the survey, 30 (97%) screened for hypertension by measuring blood pressure, 30 (97%) screened for obesity, 26 (84%) screened for abnormal glucose homoeostasis mainly by using Hb1Ac (73%), 25 (81%) screened for osteoporosis mainly by DXA (92%), 20 (65%) screened for hyperlipidaemia and 6 (19%) screened for additional CV disease. Of the 31 centres, 13 provided further information on the six co-morbidities in 244 patients with a median age of 33 yrs (range 19, 94). Of these, 126 (52%) were females and 174 (71%) received fludrocortisone in addition to glucocorticoids. Of the 244 adults, 73 (30%) were treated for at least one comorbidity and 15 (21%) for more than 2 co-morbidities. Of 73, the patients who were treated for osteoporosis/osteopaenia, hyperlipidaemia, type 2 diabetes/hyperinsulinaemia, hypertension, CV disease, obesity were 43 (59%), 17 (23%), 16 (22%), 10 (14%), 8 (11), 3 (4%) respectively.

Conclusion
Cardiometabolic and bone morbidities are not uncommon in adults with CAH. There is a need to standardise the screening for these morbidities from early adulthood and to explore optimal therapy through routine collection of standardised data.
Queer Infrastructures: Objects of and Orientations towards Urban Research Practice
Authors: Cirolia Liza Rose , Pollio Andrea 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDrawing on Ahmed’s seminal work on queer phenomenology, this intervention proposes the concept of “queer infrastructure”. Queer infrastructure, as we deploy it, reflects both an objectofand orientationtowardsurban research practice. As an object, we discuss the function, use, and practice of (our) queer networks, specifically for research assumed to be unrelated to studies of sexuality and located in the urban African context. Here we centre questions of becoming, affect, and relationality. As an orientation, we discuss what can be “seen” both when entering the field through queer networks and by seeing urban spaces through queerness. In doing so, we suggest that sexuality is always present in urban research, even when not explicitly so.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe long-term effects on academic self-concept of grade retention are unclear. The objective is to examine the progression of academic self-concept in relation to school performance for retained students and non-retained students. The academic self-concept of 5712 students (1381 retained students) was evaluated at the fourth and eighth grade of compulsory school. Academic performance was also examined at a third point: sixth grade. Latent Class Analysis and Latent Transition Analysis were used to examine the transitions between the latent groups of academic self-concept. A BCH-LTA estimation for a distal outcomes was used to examine the influence of academic self-concept on school performance. Three latent groups of academic self-concept were identified. The transitions indicated a reduction in academic self-concept over time which was greater in retained students. School performance fell over time and was related to academic self-concept. These findings have significant implications in relation to grade retention and its negative impact on students’ academic self-concept.

AbstractThe present study examines the prehistoric human skeletal remains retrieved starting from the 1920s in the deposit of the Farneto rock shelter, situated in the area of the ‘Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell’Abbadessa’ (San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna, northern Italy). An exact dating and a reliable interpretation of the assemblage had not been reached so far because of the lack of contextual data useful for dating purposes, the inaccurate recovery procedures of the remains and their state of preservation. In fact, the skeletal remains from the Farneto rock shelter are highly fragmented and commingled, whereas reliable information about their original position and their recovery procedures are not available. Despite these difficulties, radiocarbon analyses allowed the precise dating of the remains to a final phase of the Neolithic and an early phase of the Eneolithic period in Emilia Romagna (northern Italy). The study of the assemblage enabled to clarify the use of the context for funerary purposes. Moreover, the anthropological and taphonomic analyses of the skeletal remains shed light on the biological profile of the individuals and on some events that occurred after their death. In particular, the analysis of perimortem lesions highlighted the existence of intentional interventions related to corpse treatment, referable to dismembering/disarticulation and scarnification, i.e. cleaning of bones from soft tissues. Finally, the comparison with other Italian and European Neo/Eneolithic funerary contexts enabled a better understanding of these complex ritual practices.
Comparative molecular and morphological species delineation of Halammohydra Remane, 1927 (Hydrozoa)—with the description of four new species

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Whereas most cnidarians are macrofaunal, a few microscopic lineages have evolved, and some of them inhabit marine sediments. The meiofaunal genus with the most species is Halammohydra, comprising nine nominal species. Species are described with high intraspecific variability in, e.g., the number of tentacles and statocysts and the shape and length of tentacles and body, complicating morphological identification to species level. Additionally, there is not much molecular data available. This study aims to revise already described species with morphological and molecular methods, as well as, to delineate potential new species answering questions about their geographical distribution. For this, specimens were sampled at 16 locations in the Northwest Atlantic and two localities in the East Atlantic, documented with light microscopy, and fixed individually for sequencing (16S, 18S, and CO1). Herewith, morphological characters were linked to a specific sequence, enabling the testing of character variation within one molecular phylogenetic group. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted (Bayesian Interference and Maximum Likelihood) in combination with species delimitation tests (ABGD, GMYC, and bPTP). Four already described species were identified in the data sets, and all of these were found at multiple localities. Four new species are described. Overall, the combined molecular and morphological data acquisition revealed multiple new species and a high degree of sympatry in Halammohydra. This, together with the confirmed excessive intraspecific variation in morphological traits, underlines the necessity of molecular sequencing for the taxonomy and species identification of Halammohydra.
First-year Medical Students’ Varying Vulnerability to Developing Depressive Symptoms and Its Predictors: a Latent Profile Analysis

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Objective
Previous meta-analytic data have demonstrated the propensity for mental morbidity among medical students (Rotenstein et al. JAMA. 2016;316(21):2214–36). However, there is a lack of research on medical students’ varying depression vulnerabilities and predictive factors. The present study aims to gain a better understanding of the development of mental health morbidity and its predictive factors among first-semester medical students.

Methods
In November 2020 and January 2021, 184 first-semester students from two medical schools were surveyed regarding depression (PHQ-9), self-efficacy, resilience, and cognitive self-regulation. Using latent profile analysis, we identified distinct depression development profiles. We applied a multinomial logistic regression analysis to determine how self-efficacy, resilience, and cognitive self-regulation and their changes predicted profile membership.

Results
Five profiles of depression development were identified: profile 1, no depression (53.8%); profile 2, mild depression (26.1%); profile 3, depression increase I (9.2%); profile 4, depression increase II (9.8%); and profile 5, persistent depression (1.1%). Students with initially high self-efficacy, resilience, and cognitive self-regulation levels were more likely to belong to the no depression profile. A decrease in self-efficacy and cognitive self-regulation was associated with both depression increase profiles (profiles 3 and 4), and a decrease in resilience was found to be a predictor of profile 4.

Conclusion
Students who enter medical school have varying states of mental health, and they differ in their vulnerability to developing depressive symptoms. The promotion of resilience, self-efficacy, and cognitive self-regulation strategies may be key in preventing students’ depression in the first semester of medical school.
Learning Symmetrical Relations Facilitates Emergence of Intraverbals after Reading a Text: Effects on Reading Comprehension
Authors: Pérez-González Luis Antonio , Oltra Javier 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe studied the effect of prior learning of symmetrical intraverbals on the emergence of complex intraverbals after reading a text. In Experiment 1, eighteen 7- and 8-year-old children read a text with sentences in which A and B stimuli and B and C stimuli were related (e.g., “The Alps” to “Mont Blanc,” and to “Falcon”). Thereafter, all ABC intraverbals (e.g., C–A—“Name the mountain range of the falcon”) were probed without reinforcement with written stimuli and written responses. In Condition 1, six children learned before intraverbals that relate the categories to the exemplars that served as stimuli in the text (e.g., “Name a mountain”—“Mont Blanc”—Exemplars) and learned intraverbals that relate the exemplars to the categories (e.g., “What is the Mont Blanc?”—“A mountain”—Categories.) In Conditions 2 and 3, 12 children did not learn Categories or neither Exemplars and Categories. All children in Condition 1 demonstrated the emergence of all ABC intraverbals, but not all children in Conditions 2–3 demonstrated emergence. Experiment 2 controlled that text presentations and teaching trials did not affect the results and replicated the effect. Therefore, learning simple discriminations symmetrical to one another facilitates further emergence with more complex discriminations—intraverbals—which evidence reading comprehension.

AbstractOne critical issue in steady-state and high-performance operation in future tokamak fusion reactors is to develop H-mode operational regimes that mitigate or eliminate the large-amplitude ELMs to decrease the transient heat flux on the divertor and first wall. This paper reviews recent advances in extending and understanding the access and sustainment of natural and impurity-induced small/no-ELM H-mode regimes in EAST. Highly reproducible stationary grassy ELM regime with good energy confinement and excellent tungsten impurity exhaust capability has been obtained in EAST with water-cooled metal wall, compatible with low rotation, high normalized density, high bootstrap current fraction, radiative divertor and fully non-inductive operations, which are the conditions required for future fusion reactor-level plasmas. Grassy-like small-ELM H-mode regime has been achieved in helium (He) plasma experiments, which will be conducted during the pre-fusion power operation phase in ITER. The exploration for type-II ELM regime in EAST is also briefly introduced. Three spontaneous no-ELM H-mode regimes frequently observed in EAST are introduced, including an enhanced-recycling no-ELM regime, a non-inductive low-recycling no-ELM regime and a transient spontaneous no-ELM regime at relatively low pedestal collisionality ($${v}_{e}^{*}<1$$

). These no-ELM regimes show different characteristic signatures of pedestal fluctuation and profiles, and the physical mechanisms behind have been studied. In addition, small/no-ELM regimes with impurity seeding have also been achieved in EAST. The ELM behavior changing from mixed small and large ELMs to pure grassy ELMs has been observed with neon (Ne) seeding. A highly reproducible no-ELM H-mode regime with radiative divertor has been demonstrated through CD4 seeding in EAST. These results are believed to be helpful for the application of small/no-ELM H-mode regimes to future tokamak fusion reactors.

Published: March 2023

AbstractHuman values play an essential role in life, highlighting what is socially desirable and influencing people’s actions. In order to deliver a way of measuring such construct, this work aimed to test the stability of the horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism scale (HVIC) structure in Brazil through some of its states. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 presented the validation of the measurement tool replicating the original Triandis and Gelfand (1998) study, comparing similar samples in Brazil and the USA (undergraduate students;N = 200 to each group). The structure found was similar in both countries, but the modification indexes suggest a change in one item load compared to the original study. Study 2 compared data from five Brazilian states, (blue-collar workers;N = 5,589). Results revealed that the four-factor structure was well adjusted and showed minor differences between and within states. Practical and theoretical contributions were provided in particular for horizontal and vertical dimensions, in particular, challenging the horizontalism found in previous studies and suggesting other groups of references in Brazil.
Foraminifera dissolution phases in the upper cretaceous succession of Jebel Duwi, Egypt
Authors: Orabi Orabi H. , Hamad Mostafa M. , Abu Saima Mahmoud M. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe present work examines the function of differential dissolution in planktic and benthic foraminifera and introduces the major factors that affect dissolution in early Mid-Maastrichtian Event MME and Late Maastrichtian Event LME paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Two observations on foraminifera dissolution in the Dakhla Formation, where planktic foraminifera are more susceptible to dissolution than benthic foraminifera in the Hamama Member of the Jebel Duwi section, Eastern Desert (Egypt). They are characterized by a decline in the planktic/benthic (P/B) ratio and a rise in the agglutinated percentage. The results of those observations are used for revealing foraminiferal dissolution in these two zones (Racemiguembelina fructicosaCF4a andPseudoguembelina palpebraCF2). During these two zones, there were excessive relative abundances of agglutinated foraminifera, indicating that these two intervals witnessed severe carbonate dissolution. The high total organic carbon (TOC) and low pH due to the presence of a lot of organic matter in the black shale’s of the Dakhla Formation of the upper Maastrichtian age is the explanation for the observed dissolution that has nothing to do with oceanographic or volcanic processes. The presence of pyrite within the black shale interval suggests low oxygen conditions and the potential for meteoric water to react with the pyrite and form sulfuric acid. This acid could dissolve any carbonate material well after the original deposition.

Published: March 2023

AbstractPorphyrias are a cluster of inherited metabolic diseases. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is inherited autosomal dominantly that presents with multi-systemic symptoms and acute repetitive attacks in any age of lifespan. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease that is autosomal recessively inherited and seen with a relatively higher incidence in Turkey. In this case report, we discuss a 27-year-old male with gait problems and fatigue. Here, we report a familial heterozygous mutation in hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene together with homozygous deletion in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene in a Turkish patient.
Compressibility corrections to extend a smooth local correlation-based transition model to transonic flows
Authors: Piotrowski M.G.H. , Zingg D.W. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper presents progress towards a transition modelling capability for use in the numerical solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations that provides accurate predictions for transonic flows and is thus suitable for use in the design of wings for aircraft flying at transonic speeds. To this end, compressibility corrections are developed and investigated to extend commonly used empirical correlations to transonic flight conditions while retaining their accuracy at low speeds. A compressibility correction for Tollmien-Schlichting instabilities is developed and applied to a smooth local correlation-based transition model and a stationary crossflow instability compressibility correction is included by adding a new crossflow source term function. Two- and three-dimensional transonic transition test cases demonstrate that the Tollmien-Schlichting compressibility correction produces substantially improved agreement with the experimental transition locations, particularly for higher Reynolds number applications where the effects of flow compressibility are expected to be more significant, such as the NASA CRM-NLF wing-body configuration, while the crossflow compressibility correction prevents an inaccurate, upstream transition front. The compressibility corrections and modifications do not significantly affect the numerical behaviour of the model, which provides an efficient alternative to non-local and higher-fidelity approaches, and can be applied to other transport-equation-based transition models with low-speed empirical correlations without affecting their predictive capability in the incompressible regime.
Defensiveness and Identity
Authors: YAP AUDREY , ICHIKAWA JONATHAN 
Published: March 2023

AbstractCriticism can sometimes provoke defensive reactions, particularly when it implicates identities people hold dear. For instance, feminists told they are upholding rape culture might become angry or upset because the criticism conflicts with an identity that is important to them. These kinds of defensive reactions are a primary focus of this paper. What is it to be defensive in this way, and why do some kinds of criticism or implied criticism tend to provoke this kind of response? What are the connections between defensiveness, identity, and active ignorance? What are the social, political, and epistemic consequences of the tendency to defensiveness? Are there ways to improve the situation?
The perceptional triangle of incivility, politics, and democracy: The role of supportiveness

Published: March 2023

AbstractBringing democracy to the workplace has gained researchers’ attention during the last few years. In addition to its proorganizational outcomes, democratization at the workplace also helps to eradicate organizational negativities. The present study investigates these claims by empirically examining the relationship between organizational democracy, perception of politics, and workplace incivility. A sample of 300 full-time employees working in fifteen different banks in the district of Gujrat Pakistan was obtained. The structural equation modeling technique was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicated that workplace democracy is negatively associated with the perception of organizational politics and workplace incivility. Nevertheless, when there is organizational democracy with a supportive environment, it further reduces its incivility and politics. The study provides empirical evidence to managers and organizational decision makers in developing democratic workplaces to promote participative culture and eradicate organizational negativities. More studies on democratic practices with different contexts and factors are discussed and proposed for future studies.

Abstract
Today, technological developments are ever-growing yet fragmented. Alongside inconsistent digital approaches and attitudes across city administrations, such developments have made it difficult to reap the benefits of city digital twins. Bringing together experiences from five research projects, this paper discusses these digital twins based on two digital integration methodologies—systems and semantic integration. We revisit the nature of the underlying technologies, and their implications for interoperability and compatibility in the context of planning processes and smart urbanism. Semantic approaches present a new opportunity for bidirectional data flows that can inform both governance processes and technological systems to co-create, cross-pollinate, and support optimal outcomes. Building on this opportunity, we suggest that considering the technological dimension as a new addition to the trifecta of economic, environmental, and social sustainability goals that guide planning processes, can aid governments to address this conundrum of fragmentation, interoperability, and compatibility.
