AbstractAimThe number of lymph nodes (LN) that should be sampled during nephrectomy for Wilms tumour (WT) remains controversial but of utmost importance for staging purposes. The aim of this French national retrospective study of patients enrolled in SIOPWT2001 trial was to analyse the number of LN sampled according to their site and to determine if the number of six asked by the International Society of Paediatric Oncology ‐ Renal Tumour Study Group (SIOP‐RTSG) UMBRELLA protocol is achievable.MethodsWe reviewed the data collected on central pathology review forms from 2002 to 2014 for only unilateral WT. LN were divided whether they were clearly identified by surgeons at nephrectomy or only found by pathologists on the nephrectomy specimen.ResultsA total of 539 patients (240 male/299 female) were included (458 localized/81 metastatic). Median age at surgery was 41.3 months [0–189]. The number of LN sampled was 0, 1–6, ≥7 and unknown in 69 (12.8%), 293 (54.3%), 160 (29.7%) and 17 (3.2%) cases, respectively. The number of patients with sampled LN were higher if LN were identified by both the pathologist and the surgeon (n = 231, 42.8%) (p = < .001). At least one invaded LN (LN+) was found in 66 patients (12.2%), more than half being found among patients having LN sampled by both pathologist and surgeon (p < .001). The mean number of identified LN was six if no LN+ was detected on final histological analysis, while it was 11 in case of LN+ (p < .001).ConclusionsThe aim of sampling more than six LN is achievable, but only with the active collaboration of both surgeons and pathologists.

AbstractIn this work, carbon fiber reinforced polyimide (CF/PI) composites via surface modification using metal mesh were obtained. The interfacial adhesion performance of metal mesh and composites, mechanical properties and electrical properties of composites were characterized. The results revealed that introducing metal mesh on CF/PI composites surface obviously decreased the resistivity of composites, which was of great significance for lightning protection. For the mechanical properties, the short‐beam shear strength and flexural properties of modified composites slightly declined, and the failure mode of samples did not change significantly. From microscopic failure morphology and finite element analysis, it can be illustrated that the crack generated from edge may lead to the mechanical properties changes of metal mesh modified sample. Based on practical application condition, the performance change rule of modified composite system after thermal treatment was also reported. This study enables a surface modification thought as a promising way for the application of high temperature resistant CF/PI composite system.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundBulimia nervosa (BN) and the binge‐eating/purging subtype of anorexia nervosa (b/p AN) are characterized by binge eating and unsafe compensatory behaviors, such as laxatives or diuretic abuse, self‐induced vomiting, and excessive exercise. BN often causes miscellaneous physical complications that can lead to death. However, there have been very few prior reports on the physical complications of chronic BN.Case PresentationWe report a case of chronic BN of over 10 years. Her compensatory behaviors caused dehydration more easily than before. Repeated dehydration may result in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, we had to prevent dehydration by placing a percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG‐J) tube. After PEG‐J placement, dehydration did not reoccur, thereby protecting her renal involvement from progressing to ESRD.ConclusionChronic BN exposure may cause repeated dehydration with time. Therefore, the PEG‐J tube would be effective in preventing dehydration, which leads to ESRD.
Fused in sarcoma undergoes cold denaturation: Implications for phase separation

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe mediation of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) for fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein is generally attributed to the low‐complexity, disordered domains and is enhanced at low temperature. The role of FUS folded domains on the LLPS process remains relatively unknown since most studies are mainly based on fragmented FUS domains. Here, we investigate the effect of metabolites on full‐length (FL) FUS LLPS using turbidity assays and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, and explore the behavior of the folded domains by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. FL FUS LLPS is maximal at low concentrations of glucose and glutamate, moderate concentrations of NaCl, Zn2+, and Ca2+ and at the isoelectric pH. The FUS RNA recognition motif (RRM) and zinc‐finger (ZnF) domains are found to undergo cold denaturation above 0°C at a temperature that is determined by the conformational stability of the ZnF domain. Cold unfolding exposes buried nonpolar residues that can participate in LLPS‐promoting hydrophobic interactions. Therefore, these findings constitute the first evidence that FUS globular domains may have an active role in LLPS under cold stress conditions and in the assembly of stress granules, providing further insight into the environmental regulation of LLPS.
Hybrid PSO‐GWO algorithm for reliability redundancy allocation problem with Cold Standby Strategy
Authors: Bhandari Ashok Singh , Kumar Akshay , Ram Mangey 
Published: December 2022

AbstractReliability allocation for components, redundancy allocation, and reliability redundancy allocation are of great significance for system reliability designing. Generally, standby redundancy gives higher reliability for any system than active redundancy, but standby redundancy has more complex modeling than active redundancy. Cold standby strategy is one of the most consistently applied procedures to accomplish high‐reliability necessity, where backups are performed to guarantee that a backup part can take control over the undertaking successfully when the currently working fizzles. Considering the fact that components may fail during the switching process from standby to active, the impact of an imperfect switch is also applied in the system. In this work, a new hybrid GWO‐PSO(HPSGWO) algorithm, based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), is presented to solve the cold‐standby reliability redundancy allocation problem (RRAP). The RRAP is a popular mixed integer nonlinear programming issue in a system plan that necessitates that the reliability target is set to fulfill the resource utilization requirement. Four contextual analyses are examined to feature the applicability of the proposed algorithm. The outcomes are compared with those obtained from PSO and GWO.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAccurate thermochemical data of SixHy and SixFy series is a prerequisite for high‐end materials design. In this study, the standard enthalpies of formation () of SixHy and SixFy were calculated from atomization and isodesmic reactions using the composite methods CBS‐QB3, G3, G4, W1U, W1BD, and W2‐F12. Second, their temperature‐dependent thermochemical parameters (∆𝑓𝑆θ and Cp) are derived from the optimized geometries and frequency calculation at B3LYP/cc‐pV(T + d)Z level. In addition, this paper uses nonexpert‐user methods (CBS‐QB3, G3, G4, W1U and W1BD) to compare the calculated with recommended values of Active Thermochemical Table, Burcat database, and W2‐F12 calculation results. The accuracy of these nonexpert‐user methods are interpreted in terms of descriptive statistics. The results show that: (1) the accuracy rank of individual compound methods is as follows: CBS‐QB3 > W1BD > W1U > G4 > G3; (2) for Si/H/F compounds, three combination methods, CBS‐QB3/G4/W1U or CBS‐QB3/G4/W1BD, and two combination methods, G4/W1U or G4/W1BD, were quite powerful, and the weighted results could reproduce the recommended values within “near‐chemical‐accuracy,” (3) the popular W1BD and W1U methods give highly erroneous results, indicating that one should not apply these methods in isolation unless other error‐cancellation strategies are collocated indicated.

Published: December 2022

AbstractA significant step toward constructing high‐efficiency neuromorphic systems is the electronic emulation of advanced synaptic functions of the human brain. While previous studies have focused on mimicking the basic functions of synapses using single‐gate transistors, multigate transistors offer an opportunity to simulate more complex and advanced memory‐forming behaviors in biological synapses. In this study, a simple and general method is used to assemble rubber semiconductors into suspended two‐phase composite films that are transferred to the surface of the ion‐conducting membrane to fabricate flexible multiterminal photoelectronic neurotransistors. The suspended ion conductive film is used as the gate dielectrics and supporting substrate. The prepared devices exhibit excellent electrical stability and mechanical flexibility after being bent. Basic photoelectronic synaptic behavior and pulse‐dependent plasticity are emulated. Furthermore, the device realizes the spatiotemporally integrated electrical and optical stimuli to mimic spatiotemporal information processing. This study provides a promising direction for constructing more complex spiking neural networks and more powerful neuromorphic systems with brain‐like dynamic spatiotemporal processing functions.

AbstractIn this study, chitosan (CS), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polydopamine (PDA), and tungsten trioxide are compounded via melt blending to prepare a CS/PVP/PDA/WO3 composite mulch. The morphological characteristics, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission performance, photothermal performance, and degradation performance of the mulch film and the effect of the CS/PVP/PDA/WO3 composite mulch film on the growth of Dianthus chinensis L. and cucumber seeds are studied. The results show that the CS/PVP/PDA/WO3 film exhibits a good thermal stability, biodegradability, UV resistance, photothermal conversion ability, and transmittance. Evaluation of the effect of this mulch film on the growth of crops shows that the film can promote the germination of seeds and increase the seedling growth rate.

Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectiveGulf Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi populations have undergone substantial declines since the start of the 20th century due to overfishing and habitat loss. A predicted increase in the frequency of major hurricanes, driven by climate change, presents an additional but poorly characterized threat to Gulf Sturgeon populations. In October 2018, category 5 Hurricane Michael made landfall 40 km west of the Apalachicola River, causing a hypoxic event and an ensuing fish kill that included Gulf Sturgeon.MethodsWe used acoustic telemetry, mark–recapture, and side‐scan sonar data to examine migration behavior and estimate Gulf Sturgeon abundance, mortality, and annual recruitment in the system before and after the storm.ResultWithin 2 days of landfall, we observed an early and rapid emigration response among tagged adults residing in lower portions of the river system, coinciding with declining dissolved oxygen levels; migration behavior returned to normal by the subsequent spring. The hurricane caused an acute mass mortality event: mortality of Gulf Sturgeon in October 2018 was four to five times greater than that in previous years. Several other independent metrics also indicate a major decline in Gulf Sturgeon abundance after the hurricane. Juvenile recruitment to age 1 after the storm was >5 of the previous 6 years, indicating the hurricane did not cause a year‐class failure.ConclusionThese findings suggest that major hurricanes can impact the structure and abundance of Gulf Sturgeon populations, yet elements of resiliency, including survival (facilitated by early emigration and refugia) and enhanced recruitment, may aid in population recovery following such disturbances.

Abstract2,6‐dichloro‐1,4‐benzoquinone (2,6‐DCBQ), as an emerging disinfection by‐product, has been frequently detected in waters, posing potential health risk on public health. Although some studies have pointed out that 2,6‐DCBQ exposure can induce cytotoxicity, limited information is available for underlying mechanism for 2,6‐DCBQ‐induced cytotoxicity. To explore this mechanism, we assessed the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), acridine orange (AO) staining, and the mRNA transcriptions of genes (Chk2, Cdk2, Ccna, Ccnb and Ccne) involved in cell‐cycle and genes (p53, bax, bcl‐2 and caspase 3) involved in apoptosis in zebrafish embryo, after exposed to different concentrations (10, 30, 60, 90 and 120 μg/L) of 2,6‐DCBQ for 72 h. Our results indicated that 2,6‐DCBQ exposure induced ROS generation and cell apoptosis, and disturbed the mRNA transcription of genes related to cell cycle and apoptosis in zebrafish embryo. Moreover, we also found that 30 ~ 60 μg/L 2,6‐DCBQ is the important transition from cell‐cycle arrest to cell apoptosis. These results provided novel insight into 2,6‐DCBQ‐induced cytotoxicity.
Colloidal transport of heavy metals in low‐advective‐velocity environmental systems: Reactive transport model on biogeochemical and hydrodynamic impacts
Authors: Şengör S. Sevinç , Ünlü Kahraman 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this study, the impact of colloid facilitated transport of heavy metals on the overall biogeochemical processes is demonstrated in example Lake Coeurd'Alene sediments. Release and transport of heavy metals (Pb and Zn) on initially sorbed colloidal Fe (hydr)oxide minerals are compared with immobile surfaces under various advective flow velocities. The reactive transport model integrates a coupled biotic reaction network with multiple terminal electron acceptors, including multicomponent diffusion and electrostatic double layer (EDL) treatment effects, illustrating the impact of colloidal transport under competing biogeochemical reaction dynamics for the first time to the authors’ knowledge. The model results illustrate the sensitivity of the results under low‐flow‐velocity conditions. Although enhanced Fe reduction prevails with immobile Fe (hydr)oxide mineral surfaces, the desorbed metal ions with aqueous sulfide complexes are rather “washed out” from the system along with advective transport of solutes, whereas the reductive dissolution of colloidal Fe (hydr)oxides from freshly coming colloidal surfaces results in the accumulation of metal and sulfide ions in the system. The results show that when the potential transport of sorbed contaminants with colloidal particles are ignored, the contaminant concentrations might be underestimated under low‐flow‐velocity conditions, especially around 10−8 or 10−9 m s−1, where the underestimation for the worst case scenario at the lowest bound of low‐flow‐velocity conditions may reach around 90% with depth. On the other hand, this impact may be less significant under cases of higher flow velocity, even around higher limits of low‐velocity environments around 10−7 m s−1, as well as in pure diffusive transport cases.

Published: December 2022

AbstractNa7RbTl4 has been prepared by solid state reaction from the elements. Single crystal X‐ray structure analysis suggested the presence of pseudo‐merohedral twinning. The final model could be derived in space group Pbam (a=16.3584(4) Å, b=16.3581(4) Å, c=11.3345(3) Å, V=3033.04(14) Å3, R1/wR2 0.0282/0.0402) and proved the presence of isolated [Tl4]8− anions, which are only known from two other solid state thallide phases so far. The structure of Na7RbTl4 is compared to the long‐known Na2Tl and the similarities and differences in the three‐dimensional arrangement within the crystal structures are reported on. DOS calculations revealed a pseudo‐band gap at EF. Dissolution experiments in the style of the chemistry of group 14 and group 15 Zintl anions in liquid ammonia yielded degradation of the thallides. Subsequent characterization of the reaction products by powder X‐ray diffraction allowed for the determination of alkali metal amide and elemental thallium as products.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
GNSS-based velocity fields are a key tool to assess the boundaries around major deforming areas, to explain the main patterns of surface motion and deformation, to analytically review existing kinematics models and finally, to study the underlying tectonic activities. Determination of a velocity field for Africa is of great importance in the determination of the African Reference Frame; this is essential for better understanding the African plate tectonics. Therefore, this study focusses on the determination of the African velocity fields using continuously operated GNSS stations. We processed and analyzed 11 years of data obtained from a total number of 145 GNSS site using GFZ’s EPOS.P8 software. The result shows that Africa moves in the North-East direction. The station coordinates derived with PPP show averaged RMS values of 2.9 mm, 9.9 mm and 8.5 mm for the north, east and up components with respect to the estimated trajectory models. Horizontal velocities at sites located on stable Nubia plate fit a single plate model with residual motion below 1 mm/year of RMS. We confirm significant southeast motion in Morocco and Zambia with residual velocities of 1.4 mm/year and 0.9 mm/year, respectively. We estimate the Euler Poles for Nubia and Somalia with 48.59°N, −78.64°E, 0.264°/Myr and 60.38°N, −83.33°E, 0.272°/Myr, respectively. Vertical velocities range from −2 to +2 mm/year, close to their uncertainties, with no distinct geographic pattern. The study also provides continental-wide position and velocity field solution for Africa, and can also be considered as a contribution to the upcoming AFREF, the African Geodetic Reference Frame.
Critical Analysis of the Linguistic Rights Strategies of the Hungarian National Minority Council in Serbia
Authors: Beretka Katinka 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe Hungarian National Minority Council (HNMC)—the non-territorial autonomy body of Hungarians living in Serbia—has developed its activities since the first democratic elections held in 2010, to include a creative strategic framework in the field of official languages of communication in Hungary. Its first mid-term (five-year) strategy for the development of the linguistic rights of Hungarians was adopted in 2012, its primary goal being to improve the legal background for official communication in minority languages in general in the country, to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the application of the relevant rules by the public authorities and to develop the linguistic awareness of Hungarian national minorities by raising their awareness of language rights. These strategic goals were supported by a range of programmes primarily focused on information, financing, providing law enforcement and assistance, etc.; some of them were copied by other minority councils in Serbia as examples of good practice. The second Linguistic Rights Strategy was adopted in 2021, after a delay of a few years. Besides containing similar provisions as the first document from 2012, with respect to strategic programmes in the field of official communications, its subject matter also covers some other spheres, such as the use of Hungarian in education, information or culture, and it relies much more on the benefits of information technology. Because each strategy is only worth as much as it has accomplished, this paper aims to present and critically analyse the valid Linguistic Rights Strategy of the HNMC in light of its possible practical implications in the future, with special regard to the existing experience gained during the realisation of the previous strategy.
Property Rights and Natural Resource Management in Developing Countries
Authors: Takahashi Ryo 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAs forestland and grazing land grow scarcer and rural poverty persists in developing countries, sustainable natural resource management (NRM) for income generation and poverty reduction is imperative. Although securing property rights on forestlands is fundamental for sustainable resource management, the conditions under which one institution outperforms the others in the efficiency of forest management have not yet reached a consensus. In contrast, forest management under common property regimes (e.g., community forest management) is commonly adopted in developing countries in Asia and Africa. As argued by Ostrom, community forest management is effective in protecting forest resources, but it may fail to provide proper incentives for intensive forest management activities. This paper argues that the community management system performs efficiently for non-timber forests, whereas a mixed management system of private and common ownership is a desirable institution for timber forest management in developing countries. This empirical research conducted a randomized experiment in Ethiopia and confirmed that the mixed management system significantly stimulated intensive forest management activities, such as pruning, guarding, and watering.
