Published: November 2022

AbstractAimWere postglacial recolonizations facilitated by persistence close to the colonized areas rather than by dispersal ability allowing for colonization from distant sources? This question is particularly relevant for organisms with low active dispersal abilities and lacking specialized propagules. Here we identified glacial refugia of four Central European land snail species, including one for which a northern glacial refugium in the region was indicated by indirectly dated fossils.LocationCentral Europe and the Balkans.TaxonPulmonate land snails: Monachoides incarnatus (Hygromiidae) and Helix pomatia, Helix thessalica and Caucasotachea vindobonensis (Helicidae).MethodsWe used continuous phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial sequence data to trace the origin of postglacially expanding lineages. We assessed the credibility of results from our focal species, M. incarnatus, by comparison to three other broadly sympatric land snail species. In addition, we performed direct radiocarbon dating of fossil shells to verify the presumed glacial presence of M. incarnatus on the territories of Czechia and Slovakia and to test the reliability of the available fossil data.ResultsIn three of the four species, the molecular data supported refugia located south of the Pannonian Basin, from the south‐eastern Alps to the south‐western Carpathians, but not more northerly. The direct radiocarbon dating resulted in younger dates than previously assumed. However, the molecular data also revealed unexpected, yet substantial postglacial southward expansions of M. incarnatus and C. vindobonensis into the Balkans.Main ConclusionsNeither the phylogeographic analyses nor the direct radiocarbon dating provided evidence for the glacial survival of studied land snail species in Central Europe. The refugia located adjacent to the Pannonian Basin were the most important source of postglacial expansions to Central Europe, but were also the source of the expansion southwards. Both climatic factors and biological interactions might explain why such southward expansions seem rather rare in Europe.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThis research proposed using power ultrasound to produce a phenolic‐rich rice spirit from oak chips. Independent parameters were ultrasound power (0, 275, and 550 W), oak–spirit ratio (1.00:1.25, 1.00:2.50, and 1.00:5.00), and time (1 h to 14 days). Dependent factors were color parameters (L*, a*, b*, C*, and ΔE), pH, alcohol content, total acidity (TA), total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) value, total energy consumption, and specific energy consumption (SEC). Furthermore, oak chips were analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to elaborate on the extraction mechanism. Results showed that ultrasound enhanced ΔE, C*, TPC, and DPPH. TA ranged between 0.008% and 0.014% and was not affected by sonication. Alcohol content and pH decreased by increasing the sonication time. Also, increasing ultrasound power and time, as well as the oak–spirit ratio, enhanced the phenolic content. The greatest TPC was 138.95 ± 2.21 mg gallic acid equivalent per L which was achieved at 550 W/136 min/oak–spirit ratio of 1.0:2.5. Besides, ultrasound saved more than 99% of processing time. Moreover, decreasing the oak–spirit ratio and increasing input power increased the SEC. SEM revealed that the sonication power significantly affected the surface of oak chips, and 550 W treatment caused the highest damage to the oaks, converting the surface from smooth to cracked porous. This study provided a scalable platform for an innovative product enriched with antioxidants and phenolic compounds.Practical ApplicationUltrasound treatment yielded a potentially health‐promoting rice spirit from oak chips, and essential information regarding the effects of processing parameters on product quality parameters and energy consumption was revealed. For example, it was found that alcohol content and pH values decreased by increasing sonication time. On the other hand, increasing sonication power, time, and the oak–spirit ratio increased phenolics. Sonication saved more than 99% of processing time and altered the oak surface. Besides, specific energy consumption increased by decreasing oak–spirit ratios and increasing input power. This study was performed in collaboration with a winery in Taiwan, and the technology was transferred and implemented in the industry.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this study, the halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were incorporated into chitosan (CS) to prepare CS/HNT composite film by solution‐casting method. Different HNT contents were studied in relation to the morphological, optical, mechanical, barrier and thermal properties of CS/HNT composite films. After incorporation of HNT, the CS/HNT composite films showed improvement in UV light shielding, barrier against water vapor and oxygen, mechanical strength and thermal stability as well as achievement of ethylene scavenging property. Especially, when 5 wt% HNT were added, more homogenous distribution of HNT in CS matrix was observed by SEM, resulting in 169.9% increase in tensile strength, 52.94% decline in oxygen permeability and 4.07 times enhancement in the ethylene scavenging capacity at 100 kPa pressure compared with pure CS film. Moreover, the obtained film with 5 wt% HNT effectively maintained the freshness of bananas and cherry tomatoes under ambient conditions. This study demonstrated that the CS/HNT composite films could be used as active food packaging material to extend the shelf‐life of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Authors: Guan Wei , Chen Zeren , Wang Shuai , Wang Guoqiang , Guo Jianbo , Liu Zhengbin 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe development of autonomous detection technology is imperative in the field of construction. The bucket fill factor is one of the main indicators for evaluating the productivity of construction vehicles. Bucket detection is a prerequisite for bucket trajectory planning. However, previous studies have been conducted under ideal environments, a specific single environment, and several normal environments without considering the actual harsh environments at construction sites. Therefore, seven extreme environments are set in this paper to fill this gap, and an effective method is proposed. First, a novel framework for image restoration under extreme environments is proposed. It applies to all tasks conducted by vision on construction sites. Second, a combination of segmentation and classification networks is used for the first time in this area. Multitask learning is used to discover a positive correlation between fill factor estimation and bucket detection. Furthermore, probabilistic methods and transfer learning were introduced, and excellent results were achieved (97.40% accuracy in fill factor estimation and 99.76% accuracy in bucket detection for seven extreme environments).

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundNear‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non‐invasive technology that estimates regional oxygen saturation. Literature demonstrates that NIRS can provide valuable data for clinical staff. However, little research has addressed the nursing care and management of NIRS in the critical care environment.AimsTo assess nurses' perception around the use of NIRS and current NIRS practice within paediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICUs).Study DesignA 53‐item cross‐sectional electronic survey was developed to assess indications for NIRS, critical value thresholds and interventions, barriers to use, policies and procedures, and nursing perceptions. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize and aggregate data.ResultsAmong the 28 responding sites (63.6% response rate), usage of NIRS was variable and patient‐dependent. Most nurses reported using NIRS in patients with unstable physiology such as post‐operative single ventricle (n = 25, 89.3%) and concern for shock (n = 21, 75.0%). Critically low cerebral values varied among respondents from less than 40 (n = 3, 10.7%) to less than 60 (n = 4, 14.3%), with lower critical values permitted for single ventricle physiology: less than 40 (n = 8, 28.6%) to less than 50 (n = 6, 21.4%). Reported barriers to using NIRS included skin breakdown (n = 9, 32.1%), lack of consistency in decision‐making among physicians (n = 13, 46.4%), and not using NIRS data when developing a plan of care (n = 11, 39.3%). Most (n = 24, 85.7%) nurses reported that NIRS provided valuable information and was perceived to be beneficial for patients.ConclusionsNIRS monitoring is a common technology in the care of complex congenital heart disease patients. Most nurses valued this technology, but inconsistencies and practicalities around its use in guiding patient management were found to be problematic.Relevance to Clinical PracticeNIRS is commonly used in the PCICU and although nurses perceived NIRS to be useful for their practice, the variability in the interpretation of values and inconsistent protocols and decision‐making by physicians was challenging.

AbstractObjectivesCigarette consumption is common around the world and besides its negative effects on health, and its effects on periodontitis draw attention. Arginine metabolites are involved in the pathogenesis of several systemic inflammatory diseases' including cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to determine periodontitis and healthy individuals' arginine metabolites and IL‐6 levels in saliva and serum and to evaluate those according to smoking status.Materials and MethodsThe study consisted of four groups: healthy individuals (control [C]; n = 20), smokers with healthy periodontium (S‐C; n = 20), nonsmokers with Stage‐III Grade‐B generalized periodontitis (P; n = 20) and smokers with Stage‐III Grade‐C generalized periodontitis (S‐P; n = 18). Periodontal parameters were measured. Analysis of methylated arginine metabolites was performed by LC–MS/MS, and IL‐6 levels were determined by ELISA kits.ResultsIn nonsmokers, salivary concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA) were higher in the periodontitis than control (p < 0.001, p = 0.010). Smokers with periodontitis exhibited higher ADMA (p = 0.033, p < 0.001) and arginine (p = 0.030, p = 0.001) saliva concentrations than smoking and nonsmoking controls.ConclusionsOur results demonstrated that salivary concentrations of ADMA and SDMA were associated with periodontitis. Smoking increased ADMA, SDMA and NG‐monomethyl L‐arginine (L‐NMMA) levels in serum only in periodontitis patients.
On Quasi-Static and Dynamic Compressive Behaviors of Interlocked Composite Kagome Lattice Structures

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The quasi-static and dynamic compressive behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) Kagome lattice structures subjected to quasi-static load and low-velocity impact were investigated experimentally and numerically. CFRP Kagome lattice structures were fabricated by using the interlocking method. The quasi-static compression and low-velocity impact experiments were carried out and the failure mechanisms of CFRP Kagome lattice structures were explored. A user-defined material subroutine (VUMAT) involving three-dimensional Hashin criterion and progressive damage evolution was developed and implemented in the refined finite element (FE) model to model the failure of composite lattice structures. Good agreement is achieved between FE simulations and experimental results. It is shown that both in-plane stiffness and the failure mode of CFRP Kagome lattice structure are sensitive to the load directions. CFRP Kagome lattice structures subjected to quasi-static load experience elastic deformation, bending/kinking failure, rib fracture, and structure collapse sequentially. CFRP Kagome lattice structures subjected to low-velocity impact suffer from the multiple fractures at the slots and the maximum peak loads of dynamic response increase with increasing the impact velocity.

We present the case of a female patient in her 40s who underwent a splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) repair following a previous laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We aim to discuss the management approach to SAAs and considerations in the setting of previous bariatric surgery.The patient consented to this case report. We include preoperative and postoperative radiological images and intraoperative images.While pseudoaneurysms following bariatric surgery have been reported, we present a case of a likely true SAA following SG. Our experience may assist others who come across similar cases in the future.

Published: November 2022

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are infrequent mucocutaneous diseases, rapidly progressive and life-threatening. The clinical aspects and the management of TEN are exposed following a case.A man in his 40s presented to the emergency department with severe odynophagia, poor general condition and fever. His medical history was significant for HIV stage AIDS, and the treatment was discontinued 5 years before the present diagnosis. He was admitted for cerebral toxoplasmosis and discharged the previous 14 days with sulfadiazine. Erythematous-bullous lesions in the oral cavity, diffuse erythematous maculopapular rashes over his neck and chest, acute bilateral conjunctivitis and purulent urethritis was observed. The diagnostic suspicion was SJS/TEN due to sulfadiazine in immunosuppressed patients.This entity is infrequent but is a life-threatening dermatological emergency that requires immediate medical attention. Its diagnosis is mainly clinical, with a new drug history, prodromal symptoms and characteristic cutaneous–mucous lesions. Early diagnosis and rapid withdrawal of the drug improve the prognosis.

PurposeTo evaluate the changes in mental health, quality of life (QOL) and physical activity (PA) among adolescent athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic as organised sports resumed.MethodsAdolescent athletes completed surveys including demographic and sport participation information, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder, 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and the Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale in May 2020 following COVID-19-related sport cancellations (Spring20) and after returning to sports in May 2021 (Spring21). The groups were balanced by inverse propensity score weighting and compared using analysis of variance models and ordinal regression models.Results17 421 participants were included (Spring20=13 002; Spring21=4419; 16.2±1.2 years; 53% female). Anxiety was significantly lower (better) in Spring21 (Spring20=7.0, 95% CI 6.9 to 7.1; Spring21=4.9, 95% CI 4.8 to 5.0, p<0.001), as was the prevalence of moderate to severe anxiety (Spring20=29.4%, Spring21=17.1%, p<0.001). Depression was significantly improved in Spring21 (Spring20=7.6, 95% CI 7.5 to 7.7; Spring21=4.6, 95% CI 4.5 to 4.8, p<0.001), as was the prevalence of moderate to severe depression (Spring20=32.2%, Spring21=15.4%, p<0.001). Athletes in Spring21 reported higher QOL (Spring20=79.6, 95% CI 79.3 to 79.9; Spring21=84.7, 95% CI 84.4 to 85.0, p<0.001) and increased levels of PA (Spring20=13.8, 95% CI 13.6 to 13.9; Spring21=22.7, 95% CI 22.6 to 22.9, p<0.001).ConclusionEarly COVID-19 sports restrictions were associated with worsening mental health in adolescents. In 2021, after returning to sports, athletes reported significant improvements in mental health, QOL and PA, although mental health adversities remain an important priority.

IntroductionThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued proposed product standards banning menthol as a characterising flavour in cigarettes and cigars. The public health benefits of these product standards may be attenuated by the role of plausible substitutes in the marketplace. Therefore, the present study examined the addiction potential of plausible combustible menthol alternatives compared with usual brand menthol cigarettes (UBMC).MethodsNinety-eight adult menthol cigarette smokers completed four visits, smoking their UBMC at the first session and three menthol cigarette alternatives in random order at the subsequent visits: (1) a preassembled menthol roll-your-own (mRYO) cigarette using menthol pipe tobacco and mentholated cigarette tube, (2) a menthol filtered little cigar (mFLC) and (3) a non-menthol cigarette (NMC). Measures of smoking topography, exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), craving and withdrawal, subjective effects and behavioural economic demand indices were assessed.ResultsCompared with UBMC, menthol cigarette alternatives resulted in different puffing topography and CO exposure (except mRYO), and lower levels of positive subjective experience and behavioural economic demand indices. Among the alternative products, participants reported the highest level of positive subjective experience and higher demand for mRYO, compared with mFLC and NMC. Similarly, participants were significantly more likely to want to try again, purchase and use the mRYO product regularly compared with mFLC and NMC.Conclusions and relevancemRYO cigarettes were the most highly rated cigarette alternative among study products, suggesting their potential appeal as a menthol cigarette substitute and needed inclusion of menthol pipe tobacco and cigarette tubes in FDA’s proposed ban.
Fixing cosmological constant on the event horizon
Authors: Gogberashvili Merab 
Published: November 2022

AbstractStandard cosmological equations are written for the Hubble volume, while the real boundary of space-time is the event horizon. Within the unimodular and thermodynamic approaches to gravity, the dark energy term in cosmological equations appears as an integration constant, which we fix at the event horizon and obtain the observed value for the cosmological constant.

Two zinc phthalocyanine derivatives (ZnPc 1 and 2) carrying bulky 2,6-diisopro-pylthiophenoxy peripheral substituents have been synthesized and their performances as photosensitizers in photochemical hydrogen production evaluated. To examine the influence of the spacer on the performance of ZnPc 1 and 2, the carboxyl group has been linked to the macrocycle ring either directly or via the phenyl ring, respectively. The photocatalytic activities of ZnPcs (ZnPc 1 and ZnPc 2) as sensitizers of TiO2 for hydrogen production were investigated in the presence of Pt. ZnPc 1 and ZnPc 2 sensitized TiO2 produced 0.687 mmolg[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text] and 0.436 mmol g[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text] hydrogens, which also reached 3.986 and 2.091 mmolg[Formula: see text] after 8h illumination, respectively, under visible light ([Formula: see text] 420 nm) irradiation. In addition, STH efficiencies of ZnPc 1/TiO2 and ZnPc 2/TiO2 were determined as 1.77% and 1.12%, respectively. ZnPc 1/TiO2 exhibited 1.9-fold more photocatalytic hydrogen amount than ZnPc 2/TiO2, and the hydrogen evolution performance of the photocatalyst in the presence of Pt enhanced to 3.021 mmol g[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text] and 0.911mmol g[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text] for ZnPc 1 and ZnPc 2, respectively.
Chapter 6. Seismic expression of North Sea Jurassic sequences
Authors: Copestake Philip 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Many of the stratigraphic sequences recognized in North Sea Jurassic well sections correspond to mappable surfaces on seismic sections. Typically, however, sequences are only mappable seismically within individual sub-basins, and seismic correlation between sub-basins, or across highs, is generally impossible without independent control from wells. Particularly prominent seismic sequence boundaries occur at near-base J54 in the Inner Moray Firth (‘Intra-Oxfordian Event’) the Viking Graben (‘Top Heather’ in this area), base J62 (‘Top Heather’, Moray Firth), base J66 (‘Top Lower Hot Shale’, Inner and Outer Moray Firth), base J71 (East Shetland Platform), base J73 (‘Top Siltstone Member’, Moray Firth) and top J70/base K10 (‘Base Cretaceous Unconformity’ (BCU), basin-wide). The BCU is the most frequently mapped seismic horizon in the North Sea Basin in Jurassic–basal Cretaceous studies. This surface, at the base of the Cromer Knoll Group, separates synrift sediments from post-rift successions above and marks a major shift in the tectonic evolution of the North Sea Basin.
Chapter 5. Sequence stratigraphy scheme for the uppermost Middle Jurassic–lowermost Cretaceous of the North Sea area
Authors: Copestake Philip , Partington Mark A. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This chapter describes uppermost Middle Jurassic–lowermost Cretaceous second-order stratigraphic sequences J40, J50, J60 and J70, and their component third-order sequences J42–J46, J52–J56, J62–J66 and J71–J76. The latest Callovian–Berriasian was an interval of significant tectonism that led to the development of complex stratigraphy and highly variable successions, the elucidation of which is aided by the recognition of the correlation of the J sequences. Marine sedimentation dominated the Callovian–Berriasian interval, with the development of multiple sandstone members comprising reservoir units in many hydrocarbon fields, charged by marine source rocks (e.g. the Kimmeridge Clay Formation). Each of these units is subdivided and correlated by a succession of J sequences. Several sequences are renumbered (e.g. J54, J55, J65 and J66), some sequence definitions are amended or their basal boundaries recalibrated chronostratigraphically (J52, J54, J72, J73, J74 and J76) and new sequence subdivisions are recognized (J64a, J64b, J72a–J72c, J73a and J73b). Significant unconformities are recognized at the bases of the J54, J55, J62, J63, J64, J71 and J73 sequences. The top of J70 (J76) equates to the major ‘Base Cretaceous Unconformity’ seismic sequence boundary.
