Published: May 2022

AbstractThe potential of green facades (GFs) to enhance environmental justice (EJ) has not been quantified so far. EJ in Berlin, Germany is assessed by the core indicators (1) noise pollution, (2) air pollution, (3) bioclimatic stress, (4) provision of green space and (5) social status. Most of the inner city is rated “poorly” in one or multiple indicators. Based on literature and spatial data, status quo and target values are determined for indicators (1)-(4) for an exemplary, highly burdened quarter in Berlin. It is assessed if and how much GFs could potentially improve current EJ levels. The improvements due to GFs to reach target values are assessed in % for day/night and indoor/outdoor settings. It can be shown that installing GFs would improve statuses of the four indicators to different extents, with the biggest enhancement found regarding indicator (3) for indoors at daytime: 52%. Determining factors for the EJ improvement potential of GFs need to be further assessed. This feasible method for increasing the amount of urban green can be helpful for improving life in highly burdened quarters. Therefore, from the point of view of EJ, large-scale implementation of GFs in urban areas is recommended.
Non-invasive Imaging in Women With Heart Failure — Diagnosis and Insights Into Disease Mechanisms

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Purpose of Review
To summarise the role of different imaging techniques for diagnosis and investigation of heart failure in women.

Recent Findings
Although sex differences in heart failure are well recognised, and the scope of imaging techniques is expanding, there are currently no specific guidelines for imaging of heart failure in women.

Summary
Diagnosis and stratification of heart failure is generally performed first line using transthoracic echocardiography. Understanding the aetiology of heart failure is central to ongoing management, and with non-ischaemic causes more common in women, a multimodality approach is generally required using advanced imaging techniques including cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear imaging techniques, and cardiac computed tomography. There are specific considerations for imaging in women including radiation risks and challenges during pregnancy, highlighting the clear unmet need for cardiology and imaging societies to provide imaging guidelines specifically for women with heart failure.

Published: May 2022

AbstractCoastal wetlands are important for carbon (C) storage and sequestration. Still, there are large knowledge gaps concerning the amount of “blue carbon” in coastal wetlands dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis). We quantified carbon stocks at the southern Baltic Sea coast at six representativePhragmiteswetland sites at the Darss-Zingst-Bodden Chain (DZBC) and the Strelasund, which include different categories of adjacent land use (arable land, woodland, pasture, urban), topography (totally flat to undulating), and geographical restrictions (dyking). Sediment samples were taken to a depth of 1 m, in line with the IPCC guidelines, and total carbon concentrations and bulk densities were measured in 10 cm intervals. The sites stored, on average, 17.4 kg C m−2with large variability between sites, ranging from 1.76 to 88.6 kg C m−2. The estimated average is generally in good agreement with carbon stocks reported for tidal salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrass meadows. According to our estimation, based on widths of the reed belts and carbon stocks at the sampled sites, approximately 264,600 t of blue carbon could be stored in the coastal reed belts along the DZBC, a typical lagoon system of the southern Baltic Sea. Our study underlines the importance of these unique ecotones between land and sea for storage and sequestration of blue carbon. SincePhragmitesis also a common (sometimes invasive) species along other large brackish water basins, such as the Black Sea or Chesapeake Bay, these estimates can be used for improved precision of modeling blue carbon budgets.
Decades of biomass loss in the shallow rocky subtidal vegetation of the south-eastern Bay of Biscay

Published: May 2022

AbstractThis study seeks to assess changes over time in the structure of subtidal macroalgal assemblages across depth in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay. The results reveal a large-scale decline in total macroalgal biomass between 1982 and 2014. However, the temporal pattern of shift differs from one depth to another: total biomass decreased at depths from 3 to 10 m, but increased at depths of 2 and 11 m. The strong decrease in biomass detected in the 3–10-m depth range is a consequence of a sharp net decline in large macroalgae biomass which was not offset by increased biomass of small species, mainly corresponding to turf-forming algae. The dominant canopy-forming Gelidium corneum in 1982 had practically disappeared by the end of the study period and its biomass loss was far from being offset by the small increase detected in the fucoid Gongolaria baccata. By contrast, at depths of 2 and 11 m, the most notable result is an increase in large species, mainly Halopithys incurva and Codium decorticatum at 2 m and G. baccata at 11 m; however, at both depth levels, a new canopy was far from being developed. These findings evidence that biomass and habitat provision, two pivotal roles of canopy-forming species in ecosystem functioning, have been altered. Further research into potential changes in primary productivity and biodiversity linked to the shift detected in assemblage structure needs to be conducted in order to get information for conservation and management decisions associated with the loss of habitat-forming macroalgae.
An ineffective antidote for hawkmoths
Authors: Frigg Roman , Smith Leonard A. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn recent publications we have drawn attention to the fact that if the dynamics of a model is structurally unstable, then the presence of structural model error places in-principle limits on the model’s ability to generate decision-relevant probability forecasts. Writing with a varying array of co-authors, Eric Winsberg has now produced at least four publications in which he dismisses our points as unfounded; the most recent of these appeared in this journal. In this paper we respond to the arguments of Winsberg and his co-workers, and we point out that their criticisms fail. We take this as an opportunity to restate and explain our arguments, and to point to fruitful directions for future research.

Published: May 2022

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Globally, too few children are breastfed as recommended. Commercial promotion of breast-milk substitutes (BMS) is one factor undermining breastfeeding globally. Although the International Code of Marketing of BMS prohibits all forms of marketing, promotion has been observed in digital environments. We aimed to understand the scope and impact of digital marketing for the promotion of BMS.

Recent Findings

BMS are promoted strategically and in an integrated fashion across multiple digital channels (social media, manufacturer websites, online retailers, blogs, mobile apps and digital streaming services). Traditional marketing strategies like gifts, discounts and coupons are also disseminated digitally. Data mining, real-time direct-to-consumer advertising and partnering with peer-group social media influencers are additional avenues. Exposure to digital marketing is common. Research on the impact of digital marketing is scarce, but its negative impact on breastfeeding intention and initiation has been documented. Case reports from marketing industry press corroborate academic evidence by highlighting the benefits of digital marketing to BMS companies in recruiting new users and increasing sales.

Summary

To protect and promote breastfeeding, coordinated global action and strengthened national measures will be needed to implement, monitor and enforce the International Code in a digital context. Further action could include voluntary restrictions on BMS marketing by social media platforms and greater use of government-led data and health privacy regulation.
Optimizing energy harvesting performance by tailoring ferroelectric/relaxor behavior in KNN-based piezoceramics

Published: May 2022

AbstractPiezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) fabricated using piezoceramics could convert directly the mechanical vibration energy in the environment into electrical energy. The high piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33) and large piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g33) are key factors for the high-performance PEHs. However, high d33 and large g33 are difficult to simultaneously achieve with respect to g33 = d33/(ε0εr) and d33 = 2Qε0εrPr. Herein, the energy harvesting performance is optimized by tailoring the CaZrO3 content in (0.964−x)(K0.52Na0.48)(Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3 −0.036(Bi0.5Na0.5)ZrO3−xCaZrO3 ceramics. First, the doping CaZrO3 could enhance the dielectric relaxation due to the compositional fluctuation and structural disordering, and thus reduce the domain size to ∼30 nm for x = 0.006 sample. The nanodomains switch easily to external electric field, resulting in large polarization. Second, the rhombohedral–orthorhombic–tetragonal phases coexist in x = 0.006 sample, which reduces the polarization anisotropy and thus improves the piezoelectric properties. The multiphase coexistence structures and miniaturized domains contribute to the excellent piezoelectric properties of d33 (354 pC/N). Furthermore, the dielectric relative permittivity (εr) reduces monotonously as the CaZrO3 content increases due to the relatively low ion polarizability of Ca2+ and Zr4+. As a result, the optimized energy conversion coefficient (d33 × g33, 5508 × 10−15 m2/N) is achieved for x = 0.006 sample. Most importantly, the assembled PEH with the optimal specimen shows the excellent output power (∼48 µW) and lights up 45 red commercial light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This work demonstrates that tailoring ferroelectric/relaxor behavior in (K,Na)NbO3-based piezoelectric ceramics could effectively enhance the electrical output of PEHs.

AbstractThe “epithelial barrier hypothesis” proposes that genetic predisposition to epithelial barrier damage, exposure to various epithelial barrier–damaging agents and chronic periepithelial inflammation are responsible for the development of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Particularly, the introduction of more than 200,000 new chemicals to our daily lives since the 1960s has played a major role in the pandemic increase of these diseases. The epithelial barrier constitutes the first line of physical, chemical, and immunological defence against external factors. A leaky epithelial barrier initiates the translocation of the microbiome from the surface of affected tissues to interepithelial and even deeper subepithelial areas. In tissues with a defective epithelial barrier, colonization of opportunistic pathogens, decreased microbiota biodiversity, local inflammation, and impaired regeneration and remodelling takes place. A dysregulated immune response against commensals and opportunistic pathogens starts. Migration of inflammatory cells to other tissues and their contribution to tissue injury and inflammation in the affected tissues are key events in the development and exacerbation of many chronic inflammatory diseases. Understanding the underlying factors that affect the integrity of epithelial barriers is essential to find preventive measures or effective treatments to restore its function. The aim of this review is to assess the origins of allergic and autoimmune diseases within the framework of the epithelial barrier hypothesis.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThis paper presents the study of the finishing, repair, and maintenance turning operations of gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) parts from the aeronautic industry, with the aim to evaluate different sustainable lubrication/cooling environments, including a newly developed synthetic ester water-based metalworking fluid (EcoMWF) to replace mineral-based MWF (MWF). The systems considered in this work are dry, cold-compressed air, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), cryogenic, and flood on turning of a new and relatively low explored titanium alloy, γ-TiAl. Therefore, the influence of machining parameters and insert type on tool wear, surface roughness, roundness, and cutting temperature have been investigated for each environment. Results detailed in this study showed a significant influence of the lubrication/cooling systems on the machinability of γ-TiAl. The study also revealed that the sustainability of turning γ-TiAl could be improved under the cryogenic system and the new EcoMWF, keeping the same machining performance as common mineral-based MWF.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Betaine Copolymer Filtrate Reducer for Drilling Mud
Authors: Yunxiang Luo , Ling Lin , Wenke Yu , Xin Li , Han Gu 
Published: May 2022

AbstractHigh temperature and a large salt content weaken the surface hydration ability of clay particles in drilling fluid, reduce zeta potential, agglomerate clay particles, increase particle size, and destroy the stability of drilling mud. A filtrate reducer is required, therefore, to maintain the zeta potential of the clay, prevent the agglomeration of clay particles, and maintain good performance of the drilling mud at high temperature and high salt content. To prepare temperature- and salt-resistant polymer filtrate reducer, a betaine monomer was synthesized and copolymerized with a conventional monomer. A betaine monomer 3-(dimethyl (4-vinyl benzyl) ammonia) propyl sulfonate (DVBAPS) was synthesized and then used to create a copolymer filtrate reducer. The copolymer filtrate reducer, referred to as PAAAND, was prepared by free radical copolymerization with 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, acrylic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, acrylamide, and DVBAPS. The optimum synthesis conditions were determined by single factor evaluation, and the chemical structure of the PAAAND was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Results from particle-size distribution and zeta-potential measurements showed that PAAAND increased the zeta potential of clay particles and the distribution width of particles size, which served to maintain the stability of the drilling mud under high-temperature and high-salt conditions. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that PAAAND made the filter cake formed by clay particles smoother and denser, which reduced filtration loss. The reduction in filtrate loss continued even after aging at high temperature, and, thus, PAAAND performed better than commercial products.

Abstract
Hospital construction and renovation activities are the main cause of healthcare-associated fungal outbreaks. Infection control risk assessments (ICRAs) for renovation and construction decrease the risk of healthcare-associated fungal outbreaks, but they are typically not performed in developing countries. We reviewed an outbreak investigation to limit the construction-related fungal infections in a COVID-19 ICU in a resource-limited setting.

AbstractObjective:Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), but its definite diagnosis remains controversial. The CDC Ventilator-Associated Event (VAE) module (validated in adults) constitutes a new approach for VAP surveillance.Design:We described epidemiological characteristics of PICU VAE cases, investigated possible risk factors, and evaluated 3 different sets of diagnostic VAE criteria.Setting:This study was conducted in a PICU in a tertiary-care general hospital in northern Greece during 2017–2019.Patients:The study included patients aged 35 days–16 years who received mechanical ventilation.Methods:From medical records, we retrieved epidemiological data, clinical data, and laboratory characteristics as well as ventilator settings for our analysis. We assessed “oxygen deterioration” for the tier 1 CDC VAE module using 3 sets of diagnostic criteria: (1) CDC adult VAE criteria [increase of daily minimum fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 0.2 or positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≥ 3 cmH2O for 2 days], (2) the US pediatric VAE criteria [increase of FiO2 ≥ 0.25 or mean airway pressure (MAP) ≥ 4 cmH2O for 2 days], and (3) the European pediatric VAE criteria (increase of FiO2 ≥ 0.2 or PEEP ≥ 2 cmH2O for 1 day or increase of FiO2 ≥ 0.15 and PEEP ≥ 1 cm H2O for 1 day).Results:Among 326 children admitted to the PICU, 301 received mechanical ventilation. The incidence rate according to the CDC adult VAE criteria was 4.7 per 1,000 ventilator days. For the US pediatric VAE criteria the incidence rate was 6 per 1,000 ventilator days. For the European pediatric VAE criteria the incidence rate was 9.7 per 1,000 ventilator days. These results revealed statistically significant correlation of all 3 algorithms with adverse outcomes, including mortality.Conclusions:All VAE algorithms were associated with higher mortality rates. Our findings highlight the need for a unified pediatric VAE definition to improve preventive strategies.
Land Reform in The Southern Yunnan Muslim Community: Growing Divergence Beneath The Socialist Rhetoric of Unity, 1949–1958
Authors: Wang Xian 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAs one of the most influential CCP campaigns that dramatically transformed the Chinese pre-revolutionary society, the early 1950s land reform has not been fully explored in the case of China's ethnic periphery. This article sheds light on the CCP's land reform and its impact on China's ethnic frontier by examining the official policies, implementation, and the reactions of the southern Muslim community in Yunnan between 1949 and 1958. Drawing on county government work team reports and the Party's land reform policy and evaluation records, it argues that although southern Yunnan Muslims were able to selectively internalize some Communist secular ideologies to cope with social and political changes that land reform brought about, the inconsistency between the Party's freedom of religion policy on paper and its local implementation failed to mitigate the ideological discord between Maoist revolutionaries’ atheist worldview and Muslim villagers’ religiosity. This jeopardized the possibility of reconciliation between the class-struggle-focused radical state and the community life of its religious subjects.

AbstractThe Lower–Middle Ordovician (Ibexian, Whiterockian) sedimentary rocks exposed at Rancho Las Norias includes the informally named Las Norias formation, which consists of an intercalation of carbonate and clastic sediments with abundant marine fauna. These deposits occur as the most austral sedimentary rocks of Ordovician age for Laurentia, providing a critical link to understand the distribution of Ordovician marine faunas of North America. An investigation of the gastropod fauna from the upper portion of the Las Norias formation, Sonora, Mexico, is undertaken for the first time. The gastropod assemblage includesMaclurites acuminatus, ?Monitorellasp.,Lecanospirasp.,Malayaspiraaff.M.rugosa,Lophospira perangulata, andHormotoma? sp. This assemblage indicates a paleogeographic relationship with Laurentia, including the USA (Nevada), Canada (British Columbia, Newfoundland), Greenland, and the Argentine Precordillera.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe aim of this systematic review was to map the peer-reviewed literature (2009–2019) relating to school involvement with wraparound models in the support of students with complex needs. Specific research questions addressed explored the evidence base of the efficacy of wraparound with these students and barriers and enablers in the provision of wraparound services. Database searches were conducted and a total of 50 articles were identified. The analysis revealed eight different aspects of wraparound efficacy, with mixed results. Nine factors were identified as having a positive enabling, or disabling, effect on the provision of effective wraparound services. The wraparound programs were varied in their nature and in their successful implementation, with time to allow the program to mature and adherence to the 10 principles of the wraparound process emerging as enabling factors for wraparound success.
