Influence of root distribution patterns on soil dynamic characteristics
Authors: Liu Shusen , Li Jun , Ji Xiaodong , Fang Yi 
Published: August 2022

AbstractSlopes along the highway and railway routes are subjected to not only static loads but also dynamic loads generated by vehicles and trains. The induced excessive deformation potentially poses a threat to slope stability. In terms of the extensive application of ecological slope protection, plants play a critical role in slope stability, as the roots can enhance the shear strength of the soil. This study aims to investigate the influence of different root distribution patterns on the dynamic characteristics induced by cyclic loading. By conducting a group of dynamic triaxial tests, the results indicate that the root system can significantly enhance the liquefaction resistance of the soil when the soil is subjected to lower dynamic loads, and the cross arrangement has a better-reinforced effect than the mixed arrangement. The reinforced effect was not obvious when the soil was subjected to a dynamic load with a larger stress amplitude. In addition, based on the validation of the seed model, a new pore water pressure development model was proposed according to the test results. Overall, the research provides a new model and some innovative observations to better understand the dynamic behavior of root-reinforced soil.

Published: August 2022

Context. Given that mergers are often invoked to explain many exotic phenomena in massive star evolution, understanding the evolutionary phase directly preceding a merger, the overcontact phase, is of crucial importance. Despite this, large uncertainties exist in our understanding of the evolution of massive overcontact binaries.
Aims. We aim to provide robust observational constraints on the future dynamical evolution of massive overcontact systems by measuring the rate at which the periods change for a sample of six such objects. Furthermore, we aim to investigate whether the periods of unequal-mass systems show higher rates of change than their equal mass counterparts, as theoretical models predict.
Methods. Using archival photometric data from various ground- and space-based missions covering up to ∼40 years, we measure the periods of each system over several smaller time spans. We then fit a linear regression through the measured periods to determine the rate at which the period is changing over the entire data set.
Results. We find that all of the stars in our sample have very small period changes and that there does not seem to be a correlation with the mass ratio. This implies that the orbital periods for these systems are stable on the nuclear timescale, and that the unequal-mass systems may not equalize as expected.
Conclusions. When comparing our results with population synthesis distributions, we find large discrepancies between the expected mass ratios and period stabilities. We find that these discrepancies can be mitigated to a degree by removing systems with shorter initial periods, suggesting that the observed sample of overcontact systems may originate from binary systems with longer initial orbital periods.

Context. Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBs) contribute to a significant fraction of all the galaxies in the Universe. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) form a subclass of LSBs that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years (although its definition may vary between studies). Although UDGs are found in large numbers in galaxy clusters, groups, and in the field, their formation and evolution are still very much debated.
Aims. Using a comprehensive set of multiwavelength data from the NGVS (optical), VESTIGE (Hα narrowband), and GUViCS (UV) surveys, we studied a sample of 64 diffuse galaxies and UDGs in the Virgo cluster to investigate their formation history.
Methods. We analyzed the photometric colors and surface-brightness profiles of these galaxies and then compared them to models of galaxy evolution, including ram-pressure stripping (RPS) events to infer any possible strong interactions with the hot cluster gas in the past.
Results. While our sample consists mainly of red LSBs, which is typical in cluster environments, we found evidence of a color variation with the cluster-centric distance. Blue, H I-bearing, star-forming diffuse galaxies are found at larger distances from the cluster center than the rest of the sample. The comparison of our models with multifrequency observations suggests that most of the galaxies of the sample might have undergone a strong RPS event in their lifetime, on average 1.6 Gyr ago (with a large dispersion, and RPS still ongoing for some of them). This process resulted in the transformation of initially gas-rich diffuse blue galaxies into gas-poor and red ones that form the dominant population now, the more extreme UDGs having undergone the process in a more distant past on average.
Conclusions. The RPS in dense environments could be one of the major mechanisms for the formation of the large number of quiescent UDGs we observe in galaxy clusters.

Status Quo der Gesundheitsversorgung in der Nephrologie
Authors: Alscher Mark Dominik 
Published: August 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie Nephrologie ist ein wichtiges Teilgebiet der Inneren Medizin, die sich im Kern mit Nierenerkrankungen beschäftigt. Aufgrund der Multimorbidität und Komplexität der nephrologischen Patienten sind im Regelfall zahlreiche weitere Organsysteme betroffen, sodass nephrologische Abteilungen vielfach auch Patienten mit weiteren Organmanifestationen betreuen. Damit sind Nephrologen i. d. R. integrativ tätige und systemisch vorgehende Internisten und zahlreichen Fachabteilungen, welche eine nephrologische stationäre Patientenversorgung organisieren, werden weitere Gebiete hinzuaddiert. Dazu zählen bspw. die Allgemeine Innere Medizin, Geriatrie, Hypertensiologie, Rheumatologie, Notfallversorgung, Intensivmedizin und weitere. Durch diese Multimorbidität ist im Regelfall mindestens ein weiteres Organsystem betroffen, sodass in der präzisen Zuordnung zur Fachabteilung im Alltag häufig Diskussionsbedarf besteht. Zu nennen sind Herzpatienten mit eingeschränkter Nierenfunktion, die bspw. in kardiologischen Abteilungen, Notaufnahmen, Intensivstationen oder auch der Nephrologie je nach Schweregrad der Erkrankung und führenden Symptomen zur Behandlung kommen können. Dies trifft auf andere Organsysteme ebenfalls zu und führt häufig dazu, dass sich auch andere Fachgebiete um nephrologische Patienten kümmern.
Verantwortungsdiffusion in der Hämodialyseshuntpflege
Authors: Griesau Linda 
Published: August 2022

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDieser Beitrag entstand aus einer Facharbeit, die im Rahmen einer Fachweiterbildung für Nephrologie geschrieben wurde. Da die Autorin in ihrer täglichen Arbeit mit dem Thema Verantwortungsdiffusion in der Hämodialyseshuntpflege wiederholt konfrontiert wurde und ihr auffiel, dass dieses Phänomen unter Pflegekräften weitgehend unbekannt ist, befasst sich dieser Beitrag mit dem Auftreten und den Auswirkungen von Verantwortungsdiffusion. Zunächst wird das Phänomen selbst erklärt und wie es sich in der Pflege allgemein äußern kann. Nach einer kurzen Darstellung der Aufgaben der Pflegenden in der Shuntpflege, werden die zuvor gewonnenen Erkenntnisse über Verantwortungsdiffusion auf die Shuntpflege übertragen. Zum Schluss geht die Autorin auf die Frage ein, welche Aufgaben ein Shuntbeauftragter hat und ob dieser geeignet ist, der Verantwortungsdiffusion entgegenzuwirken.

AbstractSurgical reconstruction in pediatric patients can often be complex. Primary wound closure is almost always the preferred technique in the reconstructive ladder; however, it is not always possible in pediatric patients. We report the pediatric use of the TopClosure Tension-Relief System, an innovative skin-stretching technique for secure primary wound closure of large defects. We modified the technique by fixating it to a protective dressing instead of the patient's skin, thus avoiding both staple scars and pain. A retrospective review of 112 patients aged 7 days to 18 years who underwent Tension-Relief System-assisted surgery at a tertiary medical center from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. Cases included congenital deformities, traumatic wounds, burn scars, and complicated-wounds, with or without hardware or deep tissue exposure. The use of the system avoided the need for multiple surgical sessions and for local or regional flaps. The technique was simple to use, with few complications, and led to satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes. The findings support using the technique in children and adolescents with challenging tension wounds. Herein, we report on our experience with the Tension-Relief System and detail four cases in which early or immediate closure was successfully achieved.

The Heritage of a Historic Farmhouse in Rural Catalonia
Authors: Louis Oriane , Pi Marta Valls I , Rajerinera Samuel , Sanjivy Agnès , Zhu Chuhong , Ward-Perkins David 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
L’Avenc de Tavertet, a historic building in rural Catalonia, is a family-run tourism accommodation provider, primarily offering self-catering cottages, away from city life, in a spectacular setting. The old farmhouse of L’Avenc is considered to be one of the best, most authentic examples of rural architecture in Catalonia. The Parris family, who bought the property in 1997, soon came to realize that occupation of the farmhouse came with a responsibility in terms of protection of the site and its memory. This case study tells of how they have managed to reconcile these responsibilities with the running of a small, successful tourism business. It also recounts the development of their relationship with the population of Tavertet, initially suspicious of outsiders who had purchased a building of local historical importance but now appreciative of their role in the community.
