Analysis of Energy Efficiency Benefits of Smart Glazed Overhangs for Office Buildings in France
Authors: Corlouer Madeline , Krarti Moncef 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The energy efficiency benefits of both static and dynamic overhangs made-up of smart glazing materials are assessed when deployed to windows of prototypical office buildings in France. The tint level and the tilt angle settings of overhangs made-up of smart glazing can be adjusted on an hourly, daily, and monthly basis with the main objective of minimizing the overall building’s annual energy consumption. In this study, annual energy end-uses for the prototypical office building equipped with smart glazed overhangs are compared to those obtained for the baseline case with no shading and the case with static opaque overhangs. The analysis results show that the use of opaque and smart glazed overhangs for office buildings in Paris could achieve annual whole-building energy savings of 1.36% and 4.12%, respectively, compared to no-shading case. Moreover, the energy efficiency benefits of the dynamic overhangs are found to depend on a wide range of design features and climatic conditions. It is found that energy savings incurred by the deployment of overhangs made-up of smart glazed materials increase with the window size. The evaluated smart glazed overhangs provide a low-cost alternative to the installation of high-performance windows, especially for existing commercial buildings.

Published: September 2023

Older adults face numerous unfavorable functional changes caused by aging, but many exhibit resilience, which helps them cope with challenges. Physical activity is positively associated with resilience. Therefore, this systematic literature review aimed to uncover the relationships between physical activity and resilience in older adults. We have analyzed three freely and openly available databases: (a) PubMed/Medline, (b) ScienceDirect, and (c) Google Scholar, which yielded 20 eligible articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most studies (14) were cross-sectional, three were longitudinal, and three others used mindfulness-based or endurance-enhancing physical activity interventions. Their results revealed increased resilience even after short-duration and low-frequency interventions. Cross-sectional research results also support the positive relationship between physical activity and resilience in older adults, suggesting that the relationship might depend on exercise volume. Still, further research is needed to design interventions, understand the mechanism(s) involved in altering resilience, and maximize physical activity’s benefits in aging people.

Authors: Zhang Xiaodong , Lin Yuqian , Zhang Chengmeng 
Published: September 2023

Social participation is crucial for enhancing senior’s well-being and promoting their integration into society. Using nationwide data investigated in China, this study explored the association between self-reported visual impairment, health level, and social participation among Chinese middle-aged old adults. It has been found that (a) the probability and frequency of social participation among middle-aged and older adults with self-reported vision loss were significantly lower than those without vision problems; (b) self-reported vision loss was negatively associated with self-rated health and mental health status, and both were positively associated with social participation; and (c) self-rated health and mental health played a mediating role between vision loss and social participation. The findings suggest that under the framework of active aging, universal vision screening programs and rehabilitation plans for the older adults with visual impairment are exceedingly significant to promote their participation in social activities, thereby enhancing their quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Eutrophication increases the input of labile, algae-derived, organic matter (OM) into lake sediments. This potentially increases methane (CH
4
) emissions from sediment to water through increased methane production rates and decreased methane oxidation efficiency in sediments. However, the effect of OM lability on the structure of methane oxidizing (methanotrophic) and methane producing (methanogenic) microbial communities in lake sediments is still understudied. We studied the vertical profiles of the sediment and porewater geochemistry and the microbial communities (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) at five profundal stations of an oligo-mesotrophic, boreal lake (Lake Pääjärvi, Finland), varying in surface sediment OM sources (assessed via sediment C:N ratio). Porewater profiles of methane, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), acetate, iron, and sulfur suggested that sites with more autochthonous OM showed higher overall OM lability, which increased remineralization rates, leading to increased electron acceptor (EA) consumption and methane emissions from sediment to water. When OM lability increased, the abundance of anaerobic nitrite-reducing methanotrophs (
Candidatus
Methylomirabilis) relative to aerobic methanotrophs (
Methylococcales
) in the methane oxidation layer of sediment surface decreased, suggesting that
Methylococcales
were more competitive than
Ca
. Methylomirabilis under decreasing redox conditions and increasing methane availability due to their more diverse metabolism (fermentation and anaerobic respiration) and lower affinity for methane. Furthermore, when OM lability increased, the abundance of methanotrophic community in the sediment surface layer, especially
Ca
. Methylomirabilis, relative to the methanogenic community decreased. We conclude that increasing input of labile OM, subsequently affecting the redox zonation of sediments, significantly modifies the methane producing and consuming microbial community of lake sediments.

Importance

Lakes are important natural emitters of the greenhouse gas methane (CH
4
). It has been shown that eutrophication, via increasing the input of labile organic matter (OM) into lake sediments and subsequently affecting the redox conditions, increases methane emissions from lake sediments through increased sediment methane production rates and decreased methane oxidation efficiency. However, the effect of organic matter lability on the structure of the methane-related microbial communities of lake sediments is not known. In this study, we show that, besides the activity, also the structure of lake sediment methane producing and consuming microbial community is significantly affected by changes in the sediment organic matter lability.

BackgroundsRecent trials have shown improved outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for vertebrobasilar occlusion (VBO) stroke. However, there is a paucity of data regarding safety and outcomes of rescue intracranial stenting (RS) after failed MT (FRRS+) for posterior circulation stroke. We sought to compare RS to failed reperfusion without RS (FRRS−).MethodsThis is a retrospective analysis of the Stenting and Angioplasty in NeuroThrombectomy (SAINT) study, a multicenter collaboration involving prospectively collected databases. Patients were included if they had posterior circulation stroke and failed MT. The cohort was divided into two groups: FRRS+ and FRRS− (defined as modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score 0–2a). The primary outcome was a shift in the degree of disability as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. Secondary outcomes included mRS 0–2 and mRS 0–3 at 90 days. Safety measures included rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), procedural complications, and 90-day mortality. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed to identify outcomes in a matched cohort and in those with VBO, respectively.ResultsA total of 152 failed thrombectomies were included in the analysis. FRRS+ (n=84) was associated with increased likelihood of lower disability (acOR 2.24, 95% CI 1.04 to 4.95, P=0.04), higher rates of mRS 0–2 (26.8% vs 12.5%, aOR 4.43, 95% CI 1.22 to 16.05, P=0.02) and mRS 0–3 (35.4% vs 18.8%, aOR 3.13, 95% CI 1.08 to 9.10, P=0.036), and lower mortality (42.7% vs 59.4%, aOR 0.40, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.97, P=0.04) at 90 days compared with FRRS− (n=68). The rates of sICH and procedural complications were comparable between the groups. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses showed similar results.ConclusionIn patients with posterior circulation stroke who had failed MT, RS resulted in better functional outcomes with comparable safety profile to procedure termination.
Parent experience of advance care planning: reconstructing meaning – grounded theory

Published: September 2023

ObjectivesParents have unique experience of caring for their child with a life-limiting illness and significant insight into the experience of advance care planning. However, little is known about how they experience and manage this process. Our objective was to understand parents’ experience of advance care planning for their child.MethodsData collected through semistructured interviews and documents using a constructivist and situational grounded theory approach. Parents with experience of end-of-life decisions or advance care planning for a child (age 0–17 years) with a life-limiting condition or life-threatening condition.Results13 parents participated; 11 interviews were undertaken with analysis of 9 advance care plans. Parents were interviewed separately (n=9) or together (n=2).Overarching and inter-related categories, realisation, reconciling multiple tensions and building confidence and asserting control explained the actions and processes of parents’ experience of advance care planning. The arising theory, reconstructing meaning through advance care planning, describes how the process of advance care planning, enables parents to make ‘good’ decisions in complex medical situations and despite the emotional distress, has therapeutic value.ConclusionThis study confirms parents want to engage in advance care planning, use the process to continuously reorientate their values alongside treatment decisions and that offers a therapeutic value not previously recognised. This requires healthcare professionals to reframe their approach to advance care planning conversations valuing parents’ voices and desire for a sense of control and empowering them to make future decisions that offer hope and build resilience to face the future death of their child.

AbstractThe Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was accompanied by practices of information warfare, yet existing evidence is largely anecdotal while large-scale empirical evidence is lacking. Here, we analyze the spread of pro-Russian support on social media. For this, we collected $N = 349{,}455$

messages from Twitter with pro-Russian support. Our findings suggest that pro-Russian messages received ∼251,000 retweets and thereby reached around 14.4 million users. We further provide evidence that bots played a disproportionate role in the dissemination of pro-Russian messages and amplified its proliferation in early-stage diffusion. Countries that abstained from voting on the United Nations Resolution ES-11/1 such as India, South Africa, and Pakistan showed pronounced activity of bots. Overall, 20.28% of the spreaders are classified as bots, most of which were created at the beginning of the invasion. Together, our findings suggest the presence of a large-scale Russian propaganda campaign on social media and highlight the new threats to society that originate from it. Our results also suggest that curbing bots may be an effective strategy to mitigate such campaigns.

Soil salinity/sodicity is becoming a challenge for crop production in Ethiopia’s semi-arid and arid regions. However, more information on soil salinity/sodicity needs to be available around Abaya and Chamo Lakes, South Ethiopia Rift Valley. This study aimed to assess and characterize soil salinity/sodicity and determine salt-affected soils’ morphological, physical, and chemical properties. The representative soil pits that were 60

60 cm in size were examined, and samples were taken from 0–20, 20–40, and 40–60 cm depths based on the criteria set for agricultural salt-affected soil studies. The soil properties determined include soil color, structure, consistency, bulk density, particle density, porosity, texture, pH, EC, SAR, ESP, CEC, BS, OC, TN, available P, CaCO3−, exchangeable bases, and soluble ions (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Cl−, SO4−2, NO3−, CO3−2, and HCO3−. The soil-analyzed results were rated and interpreted following a guide to standardized analysis methods for soil data. The results of this study reveal that the soils had considerable heterogeneity in soil morphological, physical, and chemical properties. The soils of the study site were highly alkaline and had very high sodium content, very high CEC value, and low levels of organic carbon and exchangeable calcium. The dominant soluble cation was sodium, followed by magnesium, calcium, and potassium in all soil depths of the pits. Similarly, Cl− was dominant among the anions throughout the soil depth, followed by HCO3−, SO42−, and NO3−. The findings of this study imply that removing sodium and salts from the soil depth may improve the salt-affected soils’ productivity in the study area. Application of organic amendments, including manures and crop residues, may also be beneficial in increasing fertility and organic matter content.
From Hazard Rate to Age-at-Onset Distribution: Mind the Gap
Authors: Chatterjee Nilanjan , Dun Yuzheng 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
A recent study published in the journal claimed that genetic susceptibility to breast cancer occurs mainly due to rare inherited variants. The claim relies on a set of deductive arguments following observations on patterns of age-at-onset distribution of the disease among twin pairs. In this brief commentary, we point out a major gap in the given argument due to the interchangeable use of hazard rates and age-at-onset distribution, and thus conclude that the published study does not provide any evidence against polygenic risk of breast cancer due to common variants.

Published: September 2023

SummaryMismatch repair (MMR) status alone is insufficient to guide the use of PD-(L)1 monotherapy in patients with endometrial cancer. Additional biomarkers, including tumor mutational burden and combined positive score, may help to identify patients with MMR-proficient tumors with a high probability of benefit from PD-(L)1 monotherapy, and those with MMR-deficient tumors who might require combination strategies.See related article by Oaknin et al., p. 4564
A Knowledge Graph-Based Deep Learning Framework for Efficient Content Similarity Search of Sustainable Development Goals Data
Authors: Kilanioti Irene , A. Papadopoulos George 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
Sustainable development denotes the enhancement of living standards in the present without compromising future generations’ resources. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) quantify the accomplishment of sustainable development and pave the way for a world worth living in for future generations. Scholars can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by guiding the actions of practitioners based on the analysis of SDG data, as intended by this work. We propose a framework of algorithms based on dimensionality reduction methods with the use of Hilbert Space Filling Curves (HSFCs) in order to semantically cluster new uncategorised SDG data and novel indicators, and efficiently place them in the environment of a distributed knowledge graph store. First, a framework of algorithms for insertion of new indicators and projection on the HSFC curve based on their transformer-based similarity assessment, for retrieval of indicators and load-balancing along with an approach for data classification of entrant-indicators is described. Then, a thorough case study in a distributed knowledge graph environment experimentally evaluates our framework. The results are presented and discussed in light of theory along with the actual impact that can have for practitioners analysing SDG data, including intergovernmental organizations, government agencies and social welfare organizations. Our approach empowers SDG knowledge graphs for causal analysis, inference, and manifold interpretations of the societal implications of SDG-related actions, as data are accessed in reduced retrieval times. It facilitates quicker measurement of influence of users and communities on specific goals and serves for faster distributed knowledge matching, as semantic cohesion of data is preserved.
Der Pfaffe Amis und das IV. Laterankonzil
Authors: Schneidergruber Dietmar 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This article establishes a connection between the decisions of the Fourth Lateran Council and Der Pfaffe Amis, a work by the Knitter. Doing so results in totally new perspectives on the work, which is therefore connected to anticlerical literature. Der Pfaffe Amis is not just a comedy, as researchers thought, but it stands in continuity with Latin poems like, e.g., the Hierapigra ad purgandos praelatos by Aegidius of Corbeil or the work Speculum prelatorum by an unknown author. The single episodes have a class-based structure in their composition, in which the last two mercurial episodes abandon the legal purview of the church, besides being highly criminal under the laws at the time, but because of the Council’s decisions, they would still lead to the eternal salvation of the priest’s soul.
Zu althochdeutsch <spenchil> in Gl. 2,355,11
Authors: Schuhmann Roland 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The form <spenchil> in Gl. 2,355,11 is normally emended in either sprenkil or swenkil ‘slingshot (belt)’. As there is a later parallel for spenkil these emendations are refuted. Old High German spenkil m. ‘slingshot (belt)’ and Middle High German or Early Modern German spenkel m. ‘casting net’ are connected with words in the Germanic languages that have as their basic meaning ‘to move swiftly’. As these words are isolated in Germanic (and Indo-European) it is assumed that they belong with sporadic loss of ‑r‑ in the sequence spr- to the root Proto-Germanic *sprenǥe/a‑ ‘to jump’.
Ich muoz daz sprehen sunder schame, daz ich ein koufman bin genant (GG 5498f.)
Authors: Serfas Günther 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This contribution tries to revitalize the mercantile class perspective in its socioliterary function for the interpretation of Rudolf’s presumed literary debut. In doing so, it is assumed to be a courtly poem, which is directed at an aristocratic audience with the pretension not only to follow literary traditions, but to bring these up to date with motives from a changing present. This shows Rudolf von Ems as a poetic witness to an overall social change, which is personified in the political ambitions of the young Staufer family member Heinrich (VII.). Just as spectacularly, the Good Gerhart succesfully completes a „subtle narrative experiment“, which centers around a merchant, which never proved worthy of the name, in such a way that it had to draw the attention of the entire cultural life at the arch duke’s court. In the figure of the merchant as a representative of urban patricians, a perspective of class emancipation is uncovered, and whose potential for conflict is made problematic in an epic elaboration, which contrasts with the aristocratic projection of discipline implicit in the voluntary subordination of the inferior classes. The verse epic is therefore interpreted as further proof of politicization in the courtly literary scene.
Explaining Cross-Strait Relations with Regional Integration Theory
Authors: Krumbein Frédéric 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Regional integration theory can explain past and present processes of cross-strait integration and disintegration. Historical institutionalism can analyse how the path dependence of the ‘One China policy’ shapes cross-strait relations until today and how fundamental changes can occur through critical junctures. Neofunctionalism can well explain the dynamics of economic integration through spillovers and spillbacks driven by transnational actors since the 1980s. Liberal intergovernmentalism can shed light on the bargaining processes and their outcomes during the negotiation of various cross-strait agreements under the Ma Ying-jeou administration. Postfunctionalism offers the best explanation for the central role that identity has played in cross-strait relations, in particular since 2014.
