Abstract

Although Caretta caretta is the most common turtle in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, its distribution is relatively difficult to assess due to the lack of data in offshore waters.
The ecological niches in the central‐southern Adriatic Sea and the north‐eastern Ionian Sea were investigated for loggerhead turtles with body sizes ≥20 cm during two periods: winter (W), which includes months from October to March, and breeding–nesting (BN), from April to September. Differences in the spatial distribution of loggerheads were explored between periods, and the environmental predictors driving habitat selection were examined.
Loggerheads mainly select habitats within the continental shelf (<200 m) differently, and exhibit: (i) a generalist behaviour in the Adriatic subregion during BN and a specific selection of environmental conditions during W; and (ii) a specialist behaviour in the Ionian Sea. The Adriatic niche appeared as an important foraging ground year‐round, whereas the distribution of suitable areas in the Ionian Sea is patchy and limited to specific habitats close to shore. Extreme values of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from October to March (W) influenced loggerhead distribution differently in the subregions: areas experiencing cold and warm SST peaks were selected, respectively, in the Adriatic and Ionian subregions. Moreover, SST in April largely contributed to defining the habitat suitability in BN for both subregions
This study further confirms the importance of the Adriatic and Ionian seas for the conservation of loggerhead sea turtles and the need for seasonal investigations to establish effective conservation measures. Here, the use of a cost‐effective method (fixed line transects from ferries) to inform the distribution of sea turtles in offshore waters is a valuable methodology for long‐term seasonal investigations of the habitat use of sea turtles.

AbstractWe present follow‐up imaging and spectroscopic observations of the exoplanet host star γ Cep A, and of its low‐mass stellar companion γ Cep B. We used the lucky‐imager AstraLux at the Calar Alto observatory to follow the orbital motion of the companion around its primary, whose radial velocity (RV) was determined with spectra of the star, taken with the Échelle spectrograph FLECHAS at the University Observatory Jena. We measured the astrometry of the companion relative to the exoplanet host star in all AstraLux images and determined its apparent SDSS i′‐band photometry, for which we obtained mag. Using stellar evolutionary models and the Gaia parallax of the exoplanet host star, we derived the mass of γ Cep B to be 0.39 ± 0.03 M⊙. This is in good agreement with the mass of the companion that we derived from its near‐infrared photometry given in the literature. With the detection limit reached in our AstraLux images, we explored the detection space of potential additional companions in the γ Cep binary system. In the background limited region at angular separations larger than 5 arcsec (or 69 au of projected separation) companions down to 0.11 M⊙ are detectable around the bright exoplanet host star. The radial field of view, fully covered by our AstraLux observations, exhibits a radius of 11.2 arcsec. This allows the detection of companions with projected separations up to 155 au. However, except for γ Cep B, no additional companions could be imaged with AstraLux around the exoplanet host star. We redetermined the orbital solution of the γ Cep binary system with the new AstraLux astrometry of γ Cep B and the additional radial velocities of γ Cep A, obtained from our FLECHAS spectroscopy of the star, combined with astrometric and RV data from the literature. The determined Keplerian orbital elements were used to derive the system parameters and to calculate specific future ephemeris for this intriguing exoplanet host binary star system.
Broken or socially mistuned mirroring in ASD? An investigation via transcranial magnetic stimulation
Authors: Prinsen Jellina , Alaerts Kaat 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIndividuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience persistent difficulties during social interactions and communication. Previously, it has been suggested that deficits in the so‐called “mirror system,” active during both action execution and observation, may underlie these social difficulties. It is still a topic of debate however whether deficiencies in the simulation of others' actions (i.e., “broken” mirroring) forms a general feature of ASD, or whether these mostly reflect a lack of social attunement. The latter would suggest an overall intact mirror system, but an impaired modulation of mirror activity according to variable social contexts. In this study, 25 adults with ASD and 28 age‐ and IQ‐matched control participants underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation during the observation of hand movements under variable conditions. Hand movements were presented via a live interaction partner, either without social context to assess basic motor mirroring or in combination with direct and averted gaze from the actor to assess socially modulated mirroring. Overall, no significant group differences were revealed, indicating no generally diminished mirror activity in ASD. Interestingly however, regression analyses revealed that, among ASD participants, higher symptom severity was associated with both reduced basic motor mirroring and aberrant socially modulated mirroring (i.e., no enhancement of mirror system activity upon observation of the interaction partner's direct vs. averted gaze). These findings further challenge the notion that mirror system dysfunctions constitute a principal feature of ASD, but demonstrate that variations in mirroring may be related to differential expressions of ASD symptom severity.Lay SummaryOur findings show similar activity levels in brain regions responsible for action simulation and understanding in adults with autism, compared to adults without autism. However, the presence of more severe autism symptoms was linked to reduced activity in these regions. This suggests lower levels of brain activity during action understanding in some, but not all, persons with autism, which may contribute to the social difficulties these persons experience in daily life.

AbstractAufbauend auf den Ergebnissen aus dem Projekt „Feuchteeinträge in die Außenwandkonstruktion von Untergeschossen aufgrund von Kletterpflanzen wurden im Folgeprojekt detaillierte Untersuchungen zur Feuchtigkeit in Ziegelmauerwerk im Zusammenhang mit Kletter‐pflanzen durchgeführt. Vier Prüfstande, welche eine erdberührte Kellerwand aus Ziegel simulieren sollten, wurden konstruiert. Um Auswirkungen der Begrünung zu erfassen, wurde die Feuchtigkeit im Erdreich (Substrat) und im Ziegelmauerwerk kontinuierlich gemessen. Um Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Pflanzen untersuchen zu können, wurden drei der Prüf‐stände mit verschiedenen Kletterpflanzen bepflanzt und der vierte Prüfstand als Referenz ohne Bepflanzung verwendet. Bei der Auswertung wurde die Feuchtigkeit im Substrat und des Ziegelmauerwerks verglichen. Die Kletterpflanzen haben grundsätzlich für eine geringere Feuchtigkeit in Substrat und Mauerwerk gesorgt, gleichzeitig konnte kein direkter Zusammen‐hang zwischen den gemessenen Parametern festgestellt werden. Bei im Vergleich höherer Feuchtigkeit im Substrat liegt nicht zwangsläufig höhere Feuchtigkeit im Mauerwerk vor. Die vorgefundene Feuchtigkeit im Mauerwerk wurde anschließend in Anlehnung an ÖNORM B 3355 bewertet. Zusätzlich wurde für das verwendete Substrat und die verwendeten Ziegel die Saugspannungskurve mithilfe von Drucktopf‐Extraktoren bestimmt und ausgewertet.

Published: April 2022

AbstractBereits in den Jahren 1992 bis 1994 wurden über 30 Eignungs‐ und Baumusterprüfungen an vorgehängten hinterlüfteten Fassaden (VHF) im Prüfstand der ita Ingenieurgesellschaft für Technische Akustik mbH durchgeführt. Damals wurde bei den Messungen eine 60 mm und eine 120 mm dicke Wärmedämmung verbaut. Da sich im Zuge der fortschreitenden Anforderungen an die Energieeinsparung die Dicken der Wärmedämmung erhöht haben, wurden erneut über 40 Messungen der Luftschalldämmung im Labor der ita Ingenieurgesellschaft für Technische Akustik mbH an vorgehängten hinterlüfteten Fassaden vorgenommen. Hierbei erfolgten die meisten Messungen mit einer Mineralwolldämmung in einer Dicke von d = 180 mm. Weiterhin hat sich die Vielfalt an Fassadenbekleidungen sowie Befestigungssystemen vergrößert, was die Notwendigkeit einer Neuauflage nochmals unterstreicht. Da in der DIN 4109‐34:2016‐07 „Schallschutz im Hochbau – Teil 34: Daten für die rechnerischen Nachweise des Schallschutzes (Bauteilkatalog) – Vorsatzkonstruktionen vor massiven Bauteilen” noch keine Ausarbeitungen für vorgehängte hinterlüftete Fassaden vorliegen, können die hier vorgestellten Messergebnisse auch für die Planung des Schallschutzes gegenüber Außenlärm in Verbindung mit vorgehängten hinterlüfteten Fassaden eine erste Hilfestellung bieten.

AbstractIm Zusammenhang mit der Planung von Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen an Bauwerken der Bundeswasserstraßen stellt das BAWMerkblatt „Bewertung der Tragfähigkeit bestehender Verschlüsse im Stahlwasserbau (TbVS)“ ein Verfahren zur Verfügung, das anhand einer Robustheitsbewertung Informationen über die Tragsicherheit und das Tragverhalten von beschädigten Stahlwasserbauten liefert. Kennzahl der Robustheitsbewertung ist die Traglast des Tragwerks. Der Beitrag stellt den Analyseablauf vor, mit dem im Rahmen der Robustheitsbewertung die Traglast für die gängigen Tragsysteme von stählernen Wehrverschlüssen mittels numerischer Verfahren berechnet wird. Nach einer Einführung zur Notwendigkeit von Robustheitsbewertungen für die bestehenden stählernen Verschlussorgane der Bundeswasserstraßen und der Erläuterung des zugrunde liegenden Sicherheitskonzepts folgt die Beschreibung des Analyseablaufs für die numerische Ermittlung der Traglast und ihrer Plausibilisierung. Zur Quantifizierung der Robustheitsbewertung wird der Schädigungsgrad D eingeführt. Drei Beispiele an jeweils unterschiedlichen Tragsystemen verdeutlichen anschließend das schrittweise Vorgehen bei der Traglastanalyse und der Berechnung des Schädigungsgrads. Die abschließende Zusammenfassung zeigt die Bedeutung des Verfahrens für die bauwerksübergreifende Instandhaltungsplanung auf.
PSMG3‐AS1 enhances glioma resistance to temozolomide via stabilizing c‐Myc in the nucleus

AbstractGlioblastoma (GBM) is the main form of primary brain malignancies with a dismal prognosis partly due to its invasive growth and rapid relapse. GBM frequently developed resistance to current standard‐of‐care therapeutic modalities, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, of which temozolomide (TMZ) is the most widely used first‐line anti‐GBM drug. Despite the intense efforts of the past decades, the underlying mechanisms of GBM resistance to TMZ remain largely unclear. Here we show that the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PSMG3‐AS1 is significantly upregulated in GBM and its expression correlates with the grade of glioma, with the highest level observed in GBM (Grade IV glioma). We also demonstrated that PSMG3‐AS1 mediates the resistance of GBM to TMZ, as knockdown of PSMG3‐AS1 remarkably increased the sensitivity whereas overexpression of PSMG3‐AS1 in sensitive GBM cell line induced a resistance phenotype to TMZ. Mechanistically, PSMG3‐AS1 directly binds to c‐Myc and thus stabilizes c‐Myc in the nucleus to promote the survival of GBM cells under treatment of TMZ. Our data demonstrated an unreported role of PSMG3‐AS1 in TMZ resistance and provide a potential novel target to tackle TMZ resistance in GBM.

Published: April 2022

AbstractEco‐industrial parks (EIPs) combine the concepts and principles of industrial ecology (IE) and industrial symbiosis (IS) to enable environmentally‐friendly industrial manufacturing capacity. The current reality is that many EIPs are developed from ageing industrial parks (IPs). However, how such EIP transformation projects are managed by diverse public and private stakeholders is largely unknown. This study summarises the results of a systematic literature review (n = 61) to identify a five‐stage process of EIP transformation. Five key stakeholders and influencing factors are identified, and drawing on process theory, a framework is developed that highlights how these stakeholders work together over time. While this study serves as an overview of the body of knowledge on the business and social aspect of EIP transformation, the main contribution of this work is the propositions on the interactions and order of stakeholders embedded in the framework, which can guide future research especially on the early stages of EIP transformation. In practice, EIP project managers can judge the stage of the project based on the project status and work back from actions entities undertake to progress the project systematically.

BackgroundRadioiodine‐refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAI‐R DTC) is an aggressive form of thyroid cancer. Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor approved for treatment of RAI‐R DTC. The impact of tumor response and tumor burden on overall survival (OS) after lenvatinib treatment in patients with RAI‐R DTC was assessed.MethodsData from patients treated with lenvatinib (N = 261) in SELECT were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into lenvatinib responder or nonresponder subgroups and into low (≤40 mm) or high (>40 mm) tumor burden subgroups based on baseline sums of diameters of target lesions using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (cutoff values were determined by receiver‐operating characteristic analyses). Associations of tumor response and tumor burden with OS were assessed.ResultsMedian OS was prolonged in lenvatinib responders versus nonresponders (52.2 vs 19.0 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.32; 95% CI, 0.23‐0.46). Patients with a lower tumor burden who received lenvatinib had prolonged OS versus those with a higher tumor burden (median OS, not reached vs 29.1 months, respectively; HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.28‐0.63). Baseline tumor burden was associated with OS by multivariate analysis (HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35‐0.89; P = .0138).ConclusionsPatients with a lower tumor burden receiving lenvatinib had prolonged OS compared with those with a higher tumor burden receiving lenvatinib. Baseline tumor burden may be a prognostic factor for OS in patients with RAI‐R DTC treated with lenvatinib.

AbstractBackgroundHigh‐resolution manometry, which measures esophageal luminal pressure changes after swallowing, could shed more light on food‐transport dynamics after pharyngeal/esophageal reconstruction. This prospective cohort study assessed the influence of two head‐and‐neck and esophageal tumor‐resection and reconstruction approaches on esophageal pressure.MethodsThe cohort consisted of 17 patients who underwent esophageal/pharyngeal resection/reconstruction for cancer and then participated in postoperative high‐resolution manometry. Five healthy controls also underwent manometry for comparison.ResultsPartial pharyngectomy with patch grafts associated with smooth and continuous esophageal/pharyngeal movement. By contrast, surgery that removed the thoracic esophagus led to complete loss of peristalsis and poor food transport.ConclusionsHigh‐resolution manometry effectively characterized the changes in food‐transport dynamics caused by pharyngeal/esophageal resection/reconstruction. These findings suggest that continuous and smooth movement of the pharynx and esophagus is important for swallowing and high resolution manometry could be useful in patients after pharyngeal/esophageal resection/reconstruction.

AbstractNoble metal alloy nanoclusters (NCs) are interesting systems as the properties of two or more elements can be combined in one particle, leading to interesting fluorescence phenomena. However, previous studies have been exclusively performed on ligand‐capped NCs from wet chemical synthesis. This makes it difficult to differentiate to which extent the fluorescence is affected by ligand‐induced effects or the elemental composition of the metal core. In this work, we used laser fragmentation in liquids (LFL) to fabricate colloidal gold‐rich bi‐metallic AuPt NCs in the absence of organic ligands and demonstrate the suitability of this technique to produce molar fraction series of 1nm alloy NC. We found that photoluminescence of ligand‐free NCs is not a phenomenon limited to Au. However, even minute amounts of Pt atoms in the AuPt NCs lead to quenching and red‐shift of the fluorescence, which may be attributed to the altered surface charge density.

Published: April 2022

AbstractPrevious research provided preliminary support of a potential reinforcing effect of suicidal ideation demonstrating reduced negative affect and increased positive affect after thinking about suicide. The present study therefore sought to investigate the role of mood and affect as a proximal risk factor of suicidal ideation in a high‐risk sample. Seventy‐four psychiatric inpatients (72% female) with unipolar depression and current and/or lifetime suicidal ideation aged 18 to 85 years (M = 37.6, SD = 14.3) took part in an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) over 6 days. Multilevel analyses were calculated. Analyses revealed negative valence of mood and low positive affect to be predictors of subsequent intensity of suicidal ideation (active, passive) as well as predictors of change in suicidal ideation (active, passive) since the last measurement. High negative affect only predicted intensity of passive suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation (active, passive) was prospectively associated with subsequent negative valence of mood and lower positive affect as well as with higher intensity of negative affect. Suicidal ideation (active, passive) also predicted the change in valence of mood, positive affect and negative affect since the last measurement. Mood and affect should be taken into account as important proximal risk factors of active and passive suicidal ideation. The results do not support the idea of a reinforcing effect of suicidal ideation. In fact, they show a pattern of reduced subsequent positive affect, negative valence of mood and increased negative affect. Replication studies with larger samples and longer EMA follow‐ups are needed.
