Published: April 2022

AbstractThe stress sensitivity of abnormally pressured carbonate gas reservoirs is of great complexity and exerts much influence on gas well deliverability calculation. Fifty core samples from the AD Gas Reservoirs were selected in the experiment to study the effect of abnormally high pressure and fracture on the stress sensitivity of carbonate gas reservoir. The results show that the permeability decline mainly occurs in the abnormally high-pressure stage and is rather small in normal pressure stage. The existence of the fracture could substantially enhance the stress sensitivity. The higher fracture density could induce the stronger stress sensitivity. Furthermore, a mathematical model with the consideration of the variable permeability modulus was established to calculate gas well deliverability in the abnormally pressured carbonate gas reservoir with developed natural fractures. It is revealed that previous method assuming a fixed permeability modulus would lead to an overestimation of the real stress sensitivity and thus underestimating the absolute open flow of the gas well.
Smaller farm size and ruminant animals are associated with increased supply of non-provisioning ecosystem services

Published: April 2022

AbstractTo balance trade-offs between livestock’s negative environmental impacts and their positive contributions (e.g. maintaining semi-natural grasslands, varied agricultural landscapes and crop rotations), a better understanding is needed of how the supply of ecosystem services differs across farms. We analysed a suite of indicators for non-provisioning ecosystem services on a large subset of Swedish farms (71% of farms, covering 82% of agricultural land) and related these to farm type, farm size and livestock density. The analysed indicators exhibited clear geographical patterns with hotspots especially in less productive regions. Controlling for this spatial variation we still found that small-scale and ruminant farms were associated with more varied landscapes, small-scale habitats, semi-natural grasslands and better crop sequences compared to nearby farms specialised in crop production, while farms specialising in monogastric livestock were associated with less varied landscapes and inferior crop sequences. Results for cultural ecosystem services indicated that farms with more semi-natural grassland were associated with more visitors and more likely located within designated recreation or nature conservation areas.

AbstractCascaded random Raman fiber lasers (CRRFLs) have been used as a new platform for designing high power and wavelength-agile laser sources. Recently, CRRFL pumped by ytterbium-doped random fiber laser (YRFL) has shown both high power output and low relative intensity noise (RIN). Here, by using a wavelength- and bandwidth-tunable point reflector in YRFL, we experimentally investigate the impacts of YRFL on the spectral and RIN properties of the CRRFL. We verify that the bandwidth of the point reflector in YRFL determines the bandwidth and temporal stability of YRFL. It is found that with an increase in the bandwidth of the point reflector in YRFL from 0.2nm to 1.4nm, CRRFL with higher spectral purity and lower RIN can be achieved due to better temporal stability of YRFL pump. By broadening the point reflector’s bandwidth to 1.4nm, the lasing power, spectral purity, and RIN of the 4th-order random lasing at 1349nm can reach 3.03W, 96.34%, and −115.19 dB/Hz, respectively. For comparison, the spectral purity and RIN of the 4th-order random lasing with the point reflector’s bandwidth of 0.2 nm are only 91.20% and −107.99dB/Hz, respectively. Also, we realize a wavelength widely tunable CRRFL pumped by a wavelength-tunable YRFL. This work provides a new platform for the development of ideal distributed Raman amplification pump sources based on CRRFLs with both good temporal stability and wide wavelength tunability, which is of great importance in applications of optical fiber communication and distributed sensing.
Catalysts of Connectedness: A Case for Greater Complexity in Religious Identity Formation Research
Authors: Bankier-Karp Adina Leah 
Published: April 2022

Background Religious identity research has predominantly investigated effects of discrete factors, despite many factors exercising interconnected effects on religious connectedness, resulting in a limited understanding of the mechanism influencing religious identity development. Purpose This study examined the mechanism underlying the religious identity development in Jewish young adults, also showcasing the benefits of bringing together a range of known catalysts for examination in a single analytic model. Methods Informed by Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model, data from a sample of 1712 young adults from the Gen17: Australian Jewish Community Study (2018) was used to estimate bivariate and OLS regression models including moderated mediation to examine the relationships between Jewish schooling, critical Jewish experiences, parental religious connectedness and young adult religious connectedness. Results Jewish schooling significantly affected young adults' religious connectedness; without mediating effects of other critical Jewish experiences, however, Jewish schooling effects were negligible. Upbringing by parents with high religious connectedness had an intensifying effect, while parents with low religious connectedness had a diminishing effect on the association between Jewish schooling and young adult religious connectedness. Those raised by parents with high religious connectedness had higher religious connectedness than those raised by parents with low-to-moderate religious connectedness, regardless of Jewish schooling. In addition, having a high proportion of Jewish peers in one's friendship network was the most powerful of the critical Jewish experiences in mediating the effect of Jewish schooling on religious connectedness. Conclusions and implications Parents and Jewish friendship networks play important roles in the development of young adults' religious connectedness, which is only apparent with research approaches that acknowledge the complexity of the formation of religious connectedness. The enduring nature of these influences even into young adulthood has implications for scholars of religion as well as religious communities, as there may be greater gain from investment in agency-building in families and coreligionist friendship networks rather than outsourcing to program development by communal institutions.

Abstract
Purpose
To explore the prognostic value and the correlates of NT-proBNP in patients with acute infective endocarditis, a life-threatening disease, with an often unpredictable outcome given by the lack of reliable prognostic parameters.

Methods
We retrospectively studied 337 patients admitted to our centre between January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2020 with available NT-proBNP level at admission. Our analyses were performed considering NT-proBNP as both a categorical variable, using the median value as the cut-off level, and numerical variable. Study end points were in-hospital mortality, cardiac surgery and 1 year survival.

Results
NT-proBNP was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 14.9 [95%C.I. 2.46–90.9]; P = .003). Levels below 2926 pg/mL were highly predictive of a favorable in-hospital outcome (negative predictive value 96.6%). Patients with higher NT-proBNP levels showed a significantly lower survival rate at 1 year follow-up (log-rank P = .005). NT-proBNP was strongly associated with chronic kidney disease (P < .001) and significantly higher in patients with prior chronic heart failure (P = .001). NT-proBNP was tightly related to staphylococcal IE (P = .001) as well as with higher CRP and hs-troponin I (P = 0.023, P < .001, respectively).

Conclusion
Our results confirm the remarkable prognostic role of NT-proBNP in patients with IE and provide novel evidences of its multifaceted correlates in this unique clinical setting. Our data strongly support the incorporation of NT-proBNP into the current diagnostic work-up of IE.

Abstract
Purpose
Selective androgen and estrogen receptor modulators, ostarine (OST) and raloxifen (RAL), reportedly improve muscle tissue and offer therapeutic approaches to muscle maintenance in the elderly. The present study evaluated the effects of OST and RAL and their combination on musculoskeletal tissue in orchiectomized rats.

Methods
Eight-month-old Sprague Dawley rats were analyzed. Experiment I: (1) Untreated non-orchiectomized rats (Non-ORX), (2) untreated orchiectomized rats (ORX), (3) ORX rats treated with OST during weeks 0–18 (OST-P), (4) ORX rats treated with OST during weeks 12–18 (OST-T). Experiment II: 1) Non-ORX, (2) ORX, 3) OST-P, (4) ORX rats treated with RAL, during weeks 0–18 (RAL-P), 5) ORX rats treated with OST + RAL, weeks 0–18 (OST + RAL-P). The average daily doses of OST and RAL were 0.4 and 7 mg/kg body weight (BW). Weight, fiber size, and capillarization of muscles, gene expression, serum markers and the lumbar vertebral body were analyzed.

Results
OST-P exerted favorable effects on muscle weight, expression of myostatin and insulin growth factor-1, but increased prostate weight. OST-T partially improved muscle parameters, showing less effect on the prostate. RAL-P did not show anabolic effects on muscles but improved body constitution by reducing abdominal area, food intake, and BW. OST + RAL-P had an anabolic impact on muscle, reduced androgenic effect on the prostate, and normalized food intake. OST and RAL improved osteoporotic bone.

Conclusions
The OST + RAL treatment appeared to be a promising option in the treatment of androgen-deficient conditions and showed fewer side effects than the respective single treatments.

Abstract
Background
Dialysis patients experience a high symptom burden, which may adversely impact their quality of life. Whereas other specialties emphasize routine symptom assessment, symptom burden is not well-characterized in dialysis patients. We sought to examine the prevalence and severity of unpleasant symptoms in a prospective hemodialysis cohort.

Methods
Among 122 hemodialysis patients from the prospective Malnutrition, Diet, and Racial Disparities in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) study, CKD-associated symptoms were ascertained by the Dialysis Symptom Index, a validated survey assessing symptom burden/severity (with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity), over 6/2020–10/2020. We examined the presence of (1) individual symptoms and symptom severity scores, and (2) symptom clusters (defined as ≥ 2 related concurrent symptoms), as well as correlations with clinical characteristics.

Results
Symptom severity scores were higher among non-Hispanic White and Hispanic patients, whereas scores were lower in Black and Asian/Pacific Islander patients. In the overall cohort, the most common individual symptoms included feeling tired/lack of energy (71.3%), dry skin (61.5%), trouble falling asleep (44.3%), muscle cramps (42.6%), and itching (42.6%), with similar patterns observed across racial/ethnic groups. The most prevalent symptom clusters included feeling tired/lack of energy + trouble falling asleep (37.7%); trouble falling asleep + trouble staying asleep (34.4%); and feeling tired/lack of energy + trouble staying asleep (32.0%). Lower hemoglobin, iron stores, and dialysis adequacy correlated with higher individual and overall symptom severity scores.

Conclusion
We observed a high prevalence of unpleasant symptoms and symptom clusters in a diverse hemodialysis cohort. Further studies are needed to identify targeted therapies that ameliorate symptom burden in CKD.

Impulse balancing versus equilibrium learning an experimental study of competitive portfolio selection
Authors: Avrahami Judith , Güth Werner , Kareev Yaakov , Ploner Matteo 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe experiment lets investors interact in portfolio choices involving different risky assets, one for each state of the world. Probabilities of random states are commonly known. All assets pay the same dividend when their state is realized and becomes worthless otherwise. Whereas evolutionary stability and equilibrium behavior predict equal expected profits across assets, impulse balancing (Selten and Buchta, Games and human behavior: essays in the Honor of Amnon Rapoport, 1999) equalizes the expected regret. Thus, impulse balancing seems to capture tendencies of cyclical direction learning. In addition to analyzing whether and when behavior converges to impulse balancing or to equilibrium portfolios, we categorize portfolio adaptation by path dependence and sensitivity to state-specific probabilities. We show that portfolio choices are driven mainly by probability matching, but the effect becomes weaker over time. Furthermore, most portfolio adjustments are not compatible with directional learning.
Machine learning-integrated 5D BIM informatics: building materials costs data classification and prototype development

Published: April 2022

AbstractNon-informatics cost estimation is a tedious process and requires substantial amount of time and manual operations. However, BIM adoption approaches have attracted significant attention with this respect. Since BIM models are object-based with built-in parametric information, it is easier to capture the quantities of building elements and deliver more accurate estimates with less errors and omissions. As most of the current cost estimation standards are designed and developed based on old-fashioned construction project delivery systems, a lack of compatibility between their classification and BIM-based informatics is observed. This study, therefore, aims to develop an informatics framework to integrate a cost estimation standard with BIM in order to expedite the 5D BIM process and enhance the digital transformation practices in construction projects. The developed framework is considered to be a new approach which can automatically estimate the cost of building elements using machine learning-integrated algorithms and MATLAB engine for its effective implementation.
A systematic review of climate migration research: gaps in existing literature
Authors: Ghosh Rajan Chandra , Orchiston Caroline 
Published: April 2022

AbstractClimatic disasters are displacing millions of people every year across the world. Growing academic attention in recent decades has addressed different dimensions of the nexus between climatic events and human migration. Based on a systematic review approach, this study investigates how climate-induced migration studies are framed in the published literature and identifies key gaps in existing studies. 161 journal articles were systematically selected and reviewed (published between 1990 and 2019). Result shows diverse academic discourses on policies, climate vulnerabilities, adaptation, resilience, conflict, security, and environmental issues across a range of disciplines. It identifies Asia as the most studied area followed by Oceania, illustrating that the greatest focus of research to date has been tropical and subtropical climatic regions. Moreover, this study identifies the impact of climate-induced migration on livelihoods, socio-economic conditions, culture, security, and health of climate-induced migrants. Specifically, this review demonstrates that very little is known about the livelihood outcomes of climate migrants in their international destination and their impacts on host communities. The study offers a research agenda to guide academic endeavors toward addressing current gaps in knowledge, including a pressing need for global and national policies to address climate migration as a significant global challenge.

AbstractQuantifying the response of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to radiative forcing is challenging due to uncertainties caused by internal climate variability, differences in shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), and methods used in AR detection algorithms. In addition, the requirement of medium‐to‐high model resolution and ensemble sizes to explicitly simulate ARs and their statistics can be computationally expensive. In this study, we leverage the unique 50‐km large ensembles generated by a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory next‐generation global climate model, Seamless system for Prediction and EArth system Research, to explore the warming response in ARs. Under both moderate and high emissions scenarios, increases in AR‐day frequency emerge from the noise of internal variability by 2060. This signal is robust across different SSPs and time‐independent detection criteria. We further examine an alternative approach proposed by Thompson et al. (2015), showing that unforced AR variability can be approximated by a first‐order autoregressive process. The confidence intervals of the projected response can be analytically derived with a single ensemble member.
Quantitative Link Between Sedimentary Chlorin and Sea‐Surface Chlorophyll‐a
Authors: Raja M. , Rosell‐Melé A. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractPrimary productivity in the ocean plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. To estimate its changes through geological time, different sedimentary proxies are used. However, the relative weights of the various processes driving the sedimentary accumulation of organic matter are not fully constrained or represent the flux of specific algal classes. Here, we compare sea‐surface chlorophyll‐a (SSchla) abundance estimated from remote sensing data over the last 20 years with the sedimentary concentration of its derivatives (i.e., chlorin) on a suite of 140 core‐top sediments from different biogeochemical regions. We estimate with field data that only 0.33% of SSchla in tropical and subtropical regions is transferred to surface sediments in the form of chlorin. Despite the small fraction of chlorin that arrive to the sea‐floor, the sedimentary spatial distribution of chlorin is driven primarily by SSchla concentration in high and moderate productivity locations (SSchla > 0.20 mg·m−3). Our calibration paves the way for the use of chlorin as quantitative proxies of primary productivity in paleoreconstructions and cautions on their use in low primary productivity settings.
Comment on “Tectonics of the Isua Supracrustal Belt 1: P‐T‐X‐d Constraints of a Poly‐Metamorphic Terrane” by A. Ramírez‐Salazar et al. and “Tectonics of the Isua Supracrustal Belt 2: Microstructures Reveal Distributed Strain in the Absence of Major Fault Structures” by J. Zuo et al.

AbstractThe two Isua supracrustal belt area (Greenland) papers by Zuo et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020tc006514) and Ramírez‐Salazar et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020TC006516) contain no evidence supporting an Eoarchean “heat‐pipe” geodynamic regime and yet no evidence negating a mobile lid one. From quartz micro‐fabric studies, Zuo et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020tc006514) argued for Eoarchean “relatively equal strain distributed across the belt.” This contradicts clear meso‐ and macro‐scale evidence for strongly heterogeneous Eoarchean deformation before the later deformed and metamorphosed ∼3,500 to 2,750 Ma Ameralik dykes were intruded. The Zuo et al. strain indicators relate to syn‐amphibolite facies Neoarchean basin and dome formation throughout the ∼250 km extent of the Eoarchean gneiss complex. Ramírez‐Salazar et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020TC006516) argued the Isua area's metamorphic signature reflects a uniform Eoarchan “heat‐pipe” geodynamic regime. However, observed Eoarchean tectonothermal conditions are more diverse, including ultra‐high‐pressure relicts in peridotite lenses with supra‐subduction zone attributes, and are incompatible with a “heat‐pipe” regime.
