Abstract
Purpose of Review

Living donor transplantation provides the best possible recipient outcomes in solid organ transplantation. Yet, identifying potential living donors can be a laborious and resource intensive task that heavily relies on the recipient’s means and social network. Social media has evolved to become a key tool in helping to bring recipients and potential living donors together given its ease of utilization, widespread access, and improved recipient’s comfort with public solicitation. However, in the USA, formal guidelines to direct the use of social media in this context are lacking.

Recent Findings
To better inform the landscape and opportunities utilizing social media in living donation, the OPTN Living Donor Committee surveyed US transplant programs to explore programs’ experiences and challenges when helping patients use social media to identify potential living donors (September 2019). A large majority of survey participants (N = 125/174, 72%) indicated that their program provided education to use social media to identify potential living donors and most programs tracking referral source confirmed an increase utilization over time. The use of social media was compounded with program and recipient’s challenges including concerns about privacy, inadequate technology access, and knowledge gaps. In this review, we discuss the results of this national survey and recent literature, and provide suggestions to inform program practices and guidance provided to patients wishing to use social media to identify potential living donors.

Summary
Transplant programs should become competent in the use of social media for potential living donor identification to empower patients interested in using this tool. Social media education should be provided to all patients regardless of voiced interest and, when appropriate, revisited at multiple time points. Programs should consider developing a “team of experts” that can provide focused education and support to patients embarking in social media living donor campaigns. Care should be taken to avoid exacerbating disparities in access to living donor transplantation. Effective and timely guidance to patients in the use of social media could enhance the identification of potential living donors.

ZusammenfassungDem Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht werden insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund einer naturwissenschaftlichen Grundbildung große didaktische Potenziale zugeschrieben und geographische Bildungsstandards und Lehrpläne sehen den Einsatz von Experimenten vor. Zugleich liegen Hinweise darauf vor, dass Experimente nur relativ selten im Geographieunterricht eingesetzt werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund rücken die Lehrpersonen in den Fokus, da diese mit ihren subjektiven Überzeugungen (Beliefs) als Teil professioneller Handlungskompetenz einen entscheidenden Faktor für den tatsächlichen Einsatz von Experimenten im Unterricht darstellen. Bislang fehlen jedoch sowohl Erkenntnisse über die Ausprägung derBeliefsvon (angehenden) Lehrpersonen zum Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht als auch entsprechende Messinstrumente. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist daher die Entwicklung und Pilotierung eines Fragebogens zur Erfassung derBeliefsangehender Geographielehrpersonen zum Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht. Anhand von Re-Analysen qualitativer Erhebungen sowie Literaturrecherchen wurden Themenbereiche vonBeliefszum Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht identifiziert und auf dieser Grundlage ein umfassendes Itemset entwickelt. Die psychometrische Ermittlung der zugrundeliegenden Struktur erfolgte anhand einer Gesamtstichprobe vonN = 195 Studierenden des Lehramts für Geographie. Im Zuge einer explorativen Faktorenanalyse konnten fünf eindeutige Faktoren zu unterschiedlichen Aspekten von Potenzialen/Zielen, Voraussetzungen und Hindernissen beim Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht mit jeweils angemessenen bis guten Reliabilitätswerten identifiziert werden. Mit dem Fragebogen liegt ein theoretisch fundiertes Instrument zu Erhebung derBeliefsangehender Lehrpersonen zum Experimentieren im Geographieunterricht vor. Geplante weiterführende Schritte in unserem Forschungsvorhaben sowie praktische Einsatzmöglichkeiten werden diskutiert.
Wave loads on ocean infrastructure increase as a result of waves passing over abrupt depth transitions

Published: November 2022

AbstractAbrupt changes in water depth are known to lead to abnormal free-surface wave statistics. The present study considers whether this translates into abnormal loads on offshore infrastructure. A fully non-linear numerical model is used which is carefully validated against experiments. The wave kinematics from the numerical model are used as input to a simple wave loading model. We find enhanced overturning moments, an increase of approximately 20%, occur over a distance of a few wavelengths after an abrupt depth transition. We observe similar results for 1:1 and 1:3 slopes. This increase does not occur in linear simulations.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn 2019, Norwegian implementation researchers formed a network to promote implementation research and practice in the Norwegian context. On November 19th, 2021, the second annual Norwegian implementation conference was held in Oslo. Ninety participants from all regions of the country gathered to showcase the frontiers of Norwegian implementation research. The conference also hosted a panel discussion about critical next steps for implementation science in Norway. The conference included 17 presentations from diverse disciplines within health and welfare services, including schools. The themes presented included stakeholder engagement, implementation mechanisms, evaluations of the implementation of specific interventions, the use of implementation guidelines and frameworks, the development and validation of implementation measurements, and barriers and facilitators for implementation. The panel discussion highlighted several critical challenges with the implementation of evidence-informed practices in Norway, including limited implementation competence and capacity among practice leaders and workforces, few opportunities for education in implementation science, limited implementation research in the Norwegian context, scarce funding possibilities for implementation research, and a lack of long-term perspectives on implementation processes. Overall, the 2021 Norwegian implementation conference showed an encouraging sign of a maturing field of science in Norway. The more voluminous proceedings from the 2020 conference called for several important advancements to improve implementation science and practice in Norway, and the 2021 conference indicates that steps have already been taken in favorable directions in terms of, for instance, research designs and measurements. However, there are still unexploited potentials for improvements in implementation research, funding, policies, and practice. Norwegian implementation researcher should be mindful of the challenges and potential pitfalls implementation science currently face as a scientific discipline.
Small protein Cgl2215 enhances phenolic tolerance by promoting MytA activity in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Published: November 2022

AbstractCorynebacterium glutamicum is a promising chassis microorganism for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass owing to its good tolerance and degradation of the inhibitors generated in lignocellulosic pretreatments. Among the identified proteins encoded by genes within the C. glutamicum genome, nearly 400 are still functionally unknown. Based on previous transcriptome analysis, we found that the hypothetical protein gene cgl2215 was highly upregulated in response to phenol, ferulic acid, and vanillin stress. The cgl2215 deletion mutant was shown to be more sensitive than the parental strain to phenolic compounds as well as other environmental factors such as heat, ethanol, and oxidative stresses. Cgl2215 interacts with C. glutamicum mycoloyltransferase A (MytA) and enhances its in vitro esterase activity. Sensitivity assays of the ΔmytA and Δcgl2215ΔmytA mutants in response to phenolic stress established that the role of Cgl2215 in phenolic tolerance was mediated by MytA. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that cgl2215 and mytA deletion both led to defects in the cell envelope structure of C. glutamicum, especially in the outer layer (OL) and electron-transparent layer (ETL). Collectively, these results indicate that Cgl2215 can enhance MytA activity and affect the cell envelope structure by directly interacting with MytA, thus playing an important role in resisting phenolic and other environmental stresses.
Prescribed-time cooperative guidance with time delay

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn view of the cooperative guidance problem with time delay, this paper proposes a two-stage time-delay prescribed-time cooperative guidance law in the three-dimensional (3D) space. In the first stage, by introducing a time scaling function and time-delay consensus, the proposed cooperative guidance law can overcome the negative influence of time delay to guaranteed the desired convergence performance. Derived from the Lyapunov convergence analysis, the time-delay stability of the first stage can be ensured and the convergence time can be described as the relationship between delayed time and mission-assigned convergence time. Then, taking the prescribed-time-related convergence time as the switching point, the second stage begins with suitable initial conditions and all interceptors are governed by proportional navigation guidance. Finally, comparative simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed time-delay guidance law.

Published: November 2022

AbstractPurpose:To explore how vocational rehabilitation (VR) is currently delivered for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) across multiple stakeholder groups and identify areas for improvement in service delivery using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).Methods:Seven focus groups were conducted with rehabilitation clinicians; outreach providers, insurers/regulators, VR providers and disability employment service providers (n = 44) experienced in VR of individuals with ABI. All groups were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was guided by the CFIR constructs.Results:All stakeholder groups believed they offered quality VR interventions given available resources and legislation, but many clients fell through the ‘cracks’. Themes that were identified included: a) number and complexity of systems supporting VR; b) fractured communication across systems, c) lack of knowledge by both stakeholders and clients in navigating systems, d) lack of expertise in supporting the vocational needs of clients with ABI and e) perceived limited awareness of ABI by employers.Conclusion:Stakeholders and clients need support to navigate Australia’s complex VR pathways. Limited specialist ABI clinicians, VR providers and disability employment services were identified as barriers for effective VR. Domains of the CFIR were appropriate for organising and understanding how VR is delivered.

AbstractUsing data from three automatic weather stations (LGB69, Eagle and Dome A) from distinctly different climatological zones along the CHINARE (Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition) traverse route from Zhongshan Station to Dome A, we investigated the characteristics of meteorological conditions and subsurface heat conduction. Spatial analysis indicated decreasing trends in air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed from the coastal katabatic wind zone to the inland plateau region, and air temperatures clearly showed a strong daily variability in winter, suggesting the effect from the fluctuation in the Antarctic atmospheric system. We also analyzed the optimal response time of the 1 and 3 m depth snow temperatures to the 0.1 m depth snow temperature for each site under clear/overcast and day/night situations. This showed an important enhancement to the heat transfer from shortwave radiation penetration. Using an iterative optimization method, we estimated the subsurface heat conduction variations along the transect. This was ~3–5 W m–2. Multiple maxima in daily mean subsurface fluxes were found in winter, with a typical value above 2 W m–2, while a single minimum value under –2 W m–2was found in summer. On an annual scale, a larger mean loss of subsurface heat conduction was observed in the inland plateau compared to in the coastal katabatic area. Finally, we discussed the possible influences of turbulent and radiant transport on the vertical heat response and confirmed the wind enhancement on the growth of thermal conductivity. This preliminary study provides a brief perspective and an important reference for studying subsurface heat conduction in inland areas of Antarctica.
Mapping the body to the discourse hierarchy in sign language emergence
Authors: Dachkovsky Svetlana , Stamp Rose , Sandler Wendy 
Published: November 2022

AbstractA common feature of discourse coherence is hierarchical organization: more generally, central relations (characterizing the overall topic or goal) dominate complementary or modifying relations. In this hierarchy, higher levels tend to be marked by stronger prosodic cues than lower levels. This study seeks to understand how such a system emerges in human communication – what is present at the outset, and what takes time to develop. Specifically, we investigate whether the conceptualization of hierarchical organization precedes overt linguistic structuring, and whether distinct types and strengths of prosodic marking at different hierarchical levels can be discerned in the process of emergence. The only empirical evidence for such an investigation comes from sign languages, because they can arisede novoat any time. Sign languages offer the additional advantage of directly linking instantiations of linguistic structure to articulations of different visually perceived bodily articulators. Our study of a young sign language, Israeli Sign Language (ISL), finds that conceptual hierarchical structuring of discourse arises very early. However, the organization of bodily articulators to linguistically mark hierarchical information takes time to emerge: Younger ISL signers use smaller, less salient articulators at lower levels of the hierarchy compared to older signers.
THE AKIYAMA MEAN-MEDIAN MAP HAS UNBOUNDED TRANSIT TIME AND DISCONTINUOUS LIMIT
Authors: HOSEANA JONATHAN 
Published: November 2022

AbstractOpen conjectures state that, for every
$x\in [0,1]$
, the orbit
$(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty $
of the mean-median recursion
$$ \begin{align*}x_{n+1}=(n+1)\cdot\operatorname{\mathrm{median}}(x_1,\ldots,x_{n})-(x_1+\cdots+x_n),\quad n\geqslant 3,\end{align*} $$
with initial data
$(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(0,x,1)$
, is eventually constant, and that its transit time and limit functions (of x) are unbounded and continuous, respectively. In this paper, we prove that for the slightly modified recursion
$$ \begin{align*}x_{n+1}=n\cdot\operatorname{\mathrm{median}}(x_1,\ldots,x_{n})-(x_1+\cdots+x_n),\quad n\geqslant 3,\end{align*} $$
first suggested by Akiyama, the transit time function is unbounded but the limit function is discontinuous.
Mapping Oysters and Making Oceans in the Northern Indian Ocean, 1880–1906
Authors: Fernando Tamara 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAt the turn of the twentieth century, most of the world’s pearls were extracted from rich oyster and coral reefs on the northern Indian Ocean rim. This paper returns to the sites of extraction, studying imperial maps made from 1889–1925 to delineate oyster reefs on the seafloor. Building from the submarine up, I draw on environmental, animal, and history of science studies to explore the work of mapping oceanic, animate space. Attending to the role of divers, whose labor was required to make the seafloor visible, and the lifecycles of oysters, which changed over time, I argue that the seafloor represents a kind ofunruly terrain, out of both the reach and control of imperial authorities. The paper’s final section meditates on reading humans as part of Indian Ocean landscapes and the possibilities this offers for further comparative, transnational work in a materialist vein.
Raw goat's milk fermented Anbaris from Lebanon: insights into the microbial dynamics and chemical changes occurring during artisanal production, with a focus on yeasts

Published: November 2022

AbstractAnbaris is a raw goat milk product naturally fermented in terracotta jars. The aim of this research paper was to follow the dynamics underlying an artisanal production to understand the concomitant evolution of the microbial populations in relation to the chemical changes occurring within the product, make sure of the sanitary conditions prevailing during the production and uncover for the first time its culturable yeast populations. Throughout the fermentation process, Anbaris was endowed with high acidity and included high microbial populations counts of LAB and yeasts that were rapidly installed within the product and maintained as regular new milk additions were made, contributing to lipolytic and proteolytic activities. Salt content varied according to the arbitrary salt additions made during the process but was high in the end product while protein and fat contents varied inversely to moisture. Frequent additions of Enterobacteriaceae and Coliforms contaminated milk samples seemingly fueled a contamination of the product during its manufacturing and in the final fresh Anbaris. Seven species of culturable yeasts, Pichia kudriavzevii, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Debaryomyces hansenii, Candida parapsilosis and Kazachstania exigua were found during the production. The first two dominated the process in terms of frequency of occurrence and abundance at the different stages and might be signature species of the product. The same lineage of K. marxianus isolates was maintained throughout the fermentation and sample specific patterns were observed. Strains of this species exhibited low diversity within our product, and more globally in the Lebanese dairy products we studied.
Chronotopes of ‘Chinese’ privilege: Class-inflected racialisation in condominium hoardings
Authors: Lazar Michelle M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article explores racial ‘privilege’ through the lens of temporalized landscapes. Specifically, I examine chronotopes of class-inflected ‘Chinese’ privilege on advertising hoardings for ‘Jadescape’, a condominium development in multiracial Singapore. Two chronotopic dimensions are discussed. The first, pertaining to representations inscribed on the hoardings, manifest a ‘chronotopic bricolage’, involving the fusion of a ‘traditional racial-cultural chronotope’ of a historicised ‘Chineseness’, and a ‘modern cosmopolitan chronotope’ of contemporariness and transnationalism. Embedded in this mix are further multiplicities of time, which altogether create a Sinocentric ‘neo-traditional’ aesthetic. The second dimension relates to the impermanence of the semiotic-materiality of the hoardings installed along the perimeter of the construction site only while the condominium is being built. The temporariness of hyper-visible representability of ‘Chineseness’, read against other similar media and communication practices in multiracial public spaces, secures a ‘semiotic-material immunity of privilege’, which renders racialized Chinese privilege in Singapore both elusive and normalised.

A dual-context sequent calculus for the constructive modal logic S4
Authors: Miranda-Perea Favio Ezequiel , González Huesca Lourdes del Carmen , Linares Arévalo Pilar Selene 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe proof theory of the constructive modal logic S4 (hereafter
$\mathsf{CS4}$
) has been settled since the beginning of this century by means of either standard natural deduction and sequent calculi or by the reconstruction of modal logic through hypothetical and categorical judgments à la Martin-Löf, an approach carried out by using a special kind of sequents, which keeps two separated contexts representing ordinary and enhanced hypotheses, intuitively interpreted as true and valid assumptions. These so-called dual-context sequents, originated in linear logic, are used to define a natural deduction system handling judgments of validity, truth, and possibility, resulting in a formalism equivalent to an axiomatic system for
$\mathsf{CS4}$
. However, this proof-theoretical study of
$\mathsf{CS4}$
lacks, to the best of our knowledge, its third fundamental constituent, namely a sequent calculus. In this paper, we define such a dual-context formalism, called
${\bf DG_{CS4}}$
, and provide detailed proofs of the admissibility for the ordinary cut rule as well as the elimination of a second cut rule, which manipulates enhanced hypotheses. Furthermore, we make available a formal verification of the equivalence of this proposal with the previously defined axiomatic and dual-context natural deduction systems for
$\mathsf{CS4}$
, using the Coq proof-assistant.
