AbstractDiabetes mellitus and/or hyperglycemia are highly prevalent medical conditions in patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are associated with adverse outcomes. In addition, COVID-19 itself can provoke fluctuating and high glucose levels that can be difficult to manage upon hospitalization. Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 are at high risk of malnutrition due to an increase in nutritional requirements and a severe acute inflammatory response. The management of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and COVID-19 is challenging and requires a specific nutritional approach, the purpose of which is to fulfill the nutritional requirements while maintaining an optimal glycemic control. In this study, an expert group of nutritional endocrinologists carried out a qualitative literature review and provided recommendations based on evidence and guidelines, when available, or on their own experience. The optimal care based on these recommendations was compared with the routine bedside care as reported by a panel of physicians (mainly, endocrinologists, geriatricians, and internists) treating patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and COVID-19 in their daily practice. Early screening and diagnosis, a diabetes-specific therapeutic approach, and a close malnutrition monitoring are essential to improve the clinical outcomes of these patients. In conclusion, the proposed recommendations are intended to provide a useful guide on the clinical management of malnutrition in patients with COVID-19 and diabetes/hyperglycemia, in order to improve their outcomes and accelerate their recovery. The comparison of the recommended optimal care with routine clinical practice could aid to identify gaps in knowledge, implementation difficulties, and areas for improvement in the management of malnutrition in this population.

AbstractThis study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of the epidemic spread and the role of the physical, social, and economic characteristics in this spreading. A geographically weighted regression (GWR) model was built within a GIS environment using infection data monitored by the Iraqi Ministry of Health records for 10 months from March to December 2020. The factors adopted in this model are the size of urban interaction areas and human gatherings, movement level and accessibility, and the volume of public services and facilities that attract people. The results show that it would be possible to deal with each administrative unit in proportion to its circumstances in light of the factors that appear in it. So, there will not be a single treatment for all areas with different urban characteristics, which sometimes helps not to stop social and economic life due to the imposition of a comprehensive ban on movement and activities. Therefore, there will be other supportive policies other than the ban, depending on the urban indicators for each region, such as reducing external movement from it or relying on preventing public activities only.

Published: March 2022

AbstractEntoloma(Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is a species-rich genus with approximately 2000 species known worldwide. In Central America, however, information about the species of this genus is sparse, despite the generally high biodiversity in this region. Recently, 124 specimens ofEntolomawere collected in Panama, Chiriquí Province. In the present publication, the morphology of 20 species represented by more than one specimen is described and depicted with photographs, line drawings, and scanning electron micrographs. Molecular phylograms based on ITS or concatenated ITS and partial nc LSU rDNA sequences are provided. The taxonomic status of these species is evaluated and 17 species ofEntolomaare described as new to science. Only one species could be assigned to an already known species, viz.Entoloma belouvense.Nolanea albertinae, described from Brazil, appeared similar and is combined inE. belouvenseon varietal level. The identifications of two further species are uncertain. At least 30 other species, including potentially new species, cannot formally be described due to insufficient material. A preliminary key to the species of the genusEntolomain Panama is provided. The spatial shape of the polyhedroid basidiospores ofEntolomaspp. is discussed based on literature and the micrographs generated for the present study. Our re-evaluations indicate that the type of polyhedroid basidiospore and the structure of its base are not reliable as diagnostic characters for the delimitation of subgenera inEntoloma.

Published: March 2022

AbstractHere, we present the results of studies of Japanese Hebeloma collections. The four species described by Imai as Hebeloma (H. fimicola, H. helvolescens, H. humosum, and H. tomoeae) are not from the genus Hebeloma, but are members of Agrocybe, Homophron, or Pholiota. Recombinations are made. Hebelomacrustuliniforme f. microspermum, described by Hongo, is a synonym of H. nanum. Three species of Hebeloma are described as new to science, all currently known only from Japan. Two of these species, H. asperosporum and H. cinnamomeum, are members of H. sect. Denudata while the third species H. citrisporum belongs to H. sect. Velutipes. Japanese records of H. cavipes, H. eburneum, H. hygrophilum, H. subtortum, and H. velutipes are validated. In total, fifteen species of Hebeloma are confirmed from Japan; this is compared with previous checklists.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Objective
To specify clinical and immunological parameters of the mechanisms, which may lead to development of persistent asthma, or regression of the disease symptoms.

Methods
Eighty children with childhood asthma, diagnosed in the past by using the modified Asthma Predicted Index (mAPI), were divided into two groups: remission group and persistent group. There were 3 study visits (baseline, at 6 mo, and at 12 mo). Clinical remission of asthma was defined as the absence of asthma symptoms for at least 12 mo without treatment. The patients could switch from one group to another during the 12 mo of follow-up. Clinical, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory predictors of asthma remission/persistence were analyzed.

Results
The presence of mAPI criteria as well as house dust mite (HDM) allergy and allergic rhinitis at 7–10 y, were associated with a reduced prevalence of asthma remission. The increased eosinophil blood count in mAPI criteria was associated with a lower expression of CD25 positive cells. HDM allergy was associated with a higher fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level (p = 0.0061) and higher expression of CD25CD71 (p = 0.0232). Allergic rhinitis was associated with a higher expression of PPAR (p = 0.0493) and CD25CD71 (p = 0.0198), and lower expression of glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP).

Conclusions
Persistence of childhood asthma was largely determined by the presence of allergic rhinitis and sensitization to HDM. Additionally, API criteria but not immunoregulation processes, were related to asthma persistence.
Effect of petrography and diagenesis on the sandstone reservoir quality: a case study of the Middle Miocene Kareem Formation in the North Geisum oil field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt
Authors: Abu-Hashish Mohamed F. , Afify Hamdy M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Kareem Formation is one of the most important hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Gulf of Suez. It contributes significantly to the total Egyptian oil production; therefore, the current work is to emphasise the influence of siliclastic facies types and their diagenetic processes on the reservoir quality of the Kareem Formation. A comprehensive log and core analyses were used to determine both the petrophysical and petrographical characteristics. Three classic facies have been identified: two sandstone facies with reservoir potential and one shale facies. Facies I is coarse-grained sandstone with high-angle cross-bedding, distributary/braided channel deposits on the active part of a mid-submarine fan lobe and is represented by beds of (Shagar Member). Facies II is fine-grained sandy beds represented by low-angle crudely, cross-bedded sandstone encountered in the Rahmi Member. Facies III is mainly shale and recorded in the Rahmi clastic zone. Petrographically, the quartz arenite microfacies are dominant in the Shagar sand zone and show the highest potential zones in the Kareem Formation. On the other hand, quartz lithic arenite and calcareous lithic arenite constitute the major microfacies in the Rahmi clastic zone and show the lowest reservoir quality. The main diagenetic processes that enhance the sandstone reservoir intervals of the Kareem Formation are the microfracturing of mineral grains and the dissolution of both feldspar and carbonate cement. In contrast, the amount of cementing materials, particularly authigenic carbonate and clay cements, led to diminishing of the reservoir quality of the studied Kareem Formation.
Interpolation of Precipitation Extremes on a Large Domain Toward IDF Curve Construction at Unmonitored Locations
Authors: Jalbert Jonathan , Genest Christian , Perreault Luc 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAn intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curve describes the relationship between rainfall intensity and duration for a given return period and location. Such curves are obtained through frequency analysis of rainfall data and commonly used in infrastructure design, flood protection, water management, and urban drainage systems. However, they are typically available only in sparse locations. Data for other sites must be interpolated as the need arises. This paper describes how extreme precipitation of several durations can be interpolated to compute IDF curves on a large, sparse domain. In the absence of local data, a reconstruction of the historical meteorology is used as a covariate for interpolating extreme precipitation characteristics. This covariate is included in a hierarchical Bayesian spatial model for extreme precipitations. This model is especially well suited for a covariate gridded structure, thereby enabling fast and precise computations. As an illustration, the methodology is used to construct IDF curves over Eastern Canada. An extensive cross-validation study shows that at locations where data are available, the proposed method generally improves on the current practice of Environment and Climate Change Canada which relies on a moment-based fit of the Gumbel extreme-value distribution.
Parent Perceptions of Sleep-Related Stereotypy Within Sleep Problems in Children on the Autism Spectrum: Implications for Behavioral Treatment

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Objectives
Sleep problems in children on the autism spectrum may be affected by core diagnostic characteristics, including stereotypy (restricted and repetitive behaviors). Little is known about the nature of sleep-related stereotypy and its role within sleep disturbance. This study aimed to improve our understanding of the types of sleep-related stereotypy, its potential role within sleep difficulties, and how parents manage night-time stereotypy, in children on the autism spectrum.

Methods
This qualitative study used thematic analysis to analyze clinical assessment reports obtained from 21 parents of children on the autism spectrum referred for behavioral sleep intervention. Five themes, including the types of stereotypy, timing within sleep problems, stereotypy as sleep-interfering, stereotypy as sleep-conducive, and parent-responses, were identified. A clinical case study illustrates the potential role of vocal stereotypy within night wakings, through functional assessment and treatment of sleep problems in a child on the autism spectrum.

Results
Stereotypy included vocal and motor behaviors and repetitive manipulation of objects. Parents perceived stereotypy as both problematic and as beneficial to sleep, which may differentially affect behavioral treatment. Parent responses to stereotypy were varied and included co-sleeping. The case study highlights the complexity of the sleep and stereotypy relationship and the difficulty in treating automatically maintained behavior in the sleep context.

Conclusion
The function that stereotypy serves in relation to sleep disturbance is unclear and may differ across and within children. It is important we seek to better understand the specific ways that stereotypy may affect sleep, and vice versa, to improve clinical management of sleep problems in children on the autism spectrum.
An Approach to a Novel Device Agnostic Model Illustrating the Relative Change in Physical Behavior Over Time to Support Behavioral Change
Authors: Åkerberg Anna , Arwald Jan , Söderlund Anne , Lindén Maria 
Published: March 2022

AbstractToday, there is a lack of useful visual presentations of data showing progress over long time periods for users of physical activity self-monitoring devices. The aim of this paper was to present a novel theoretical model that describes the relative change in physical behavior over time and to provide examples of model application with previously collected data. Physical behavior, which includes both sedentary behavior and physical activity, was categorized into four dimensions and further processed and adjusted to fit the novel model. The model was visualized both theoretically and by using example data for two out of 20 participants, illustrating the relative change compared to baseline and trendlines for all dimensions. This approach to a novel device agnostic model can visualize the data over time and is intended to be used on an individual basis by users that need support for physical behavioral change. The model, which is based on earlier research, has flexibility and was developed to be used as a complement for data processing, to future and currently available self-monitoring devices within this arena. In the future, the novel model should be studied to see if it is valid, tested with larger samples over longer study periods, and tested for use with other self-monitoring devices to ensure its usefulness and trustworthiness.
Sample Size Determination for Bayesian Hierarchical Models Commonly Used in Psycholinguistics

Published: March 2022

AbstractWe discuss an important issue that is not directly related to the main theses of the van Doorn et al. (Computational Brain and Behavior, 2021) paper, but which frequently comes up when using Bayesian linear mixed models: how to determine sample size in advance of running a study when planning a Bayes factor analysis. We adapt a simulation-based method proposed by Wang and Gelfand (Statistical Science193–208, 2002) for a Bayes factor-based design analysis, and demonstrate how relatively complex hierarchical models can be used to determine approximate sample sizes for planning experiments.
Generalization at Retrieval Using Associative Networks with Transient Weight Changes

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Without having seen a bigram like “her buffalo”, you can easily tell that it is congruent because “buffalo” can be aligned with more common nouns like “cat” or “dog” that have been seen in contexts like “her cat” or “her dog”—the novel bigram structurally aligns with representations in memory. We present a new class of associative nets we call Dynamic-Eigen-Nets, and provide simulations that show how they generalize to patterns that are structurally aligned with the training domain. Linear-Associative-Nets respond with the same pattern regardless of input, motivating the introduction of saturation to facilitate other response states. However, models using saturation cannot readily generalize to novel, but structurally aligned patterns. Dynamic-Eigen-Nets address this problem by dynamically biasing the eigenspectrum towards external input using temporary weight changes. We demonstrate how a two-slot Dynamic-Eigen-Net trained on a text corpus provides an account of bigram judgment-of-grammaticality and lexical decision tasks, showing it can better capture syntactic regularities from the corpus compared to the Brain-State-in-a-Box and the Linear-Associative-Net. We end with a simulation showing how a Dynamic-Eigen-Net is sensitive to syntactic violations introduced in bigrams, even after the associations that encode those bigrams are deleted from memory. Over all simulations, the Dynamic-Eigen-Net reliably outperforms the Brain-State-in-a-Box and the Linear-Associative-Net. We propose Dynamic-Eigen-Nets as associative nets that generalize at retrieval, instead of encoding, through recurrent feedback.
Space sustainability, advanced materials and micro/nanotechnologies for future life in outer Space
Authors: Santo Loredana 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe idea of living in Space is more and more a highly topical question. Orbital stations, the Moon, Mars are new possible lands for living, but to reach this goal, new advanced materials should be investigated, and micro/nano technologies exploited considering a sustainable development. The building of spacecraft, habitat modules and spacesuits for astronauts and Space tourists for going to the deep space needs high performance and shielding materials and micro/nanoengineering. In this communication, the new concept of Space sustainability is highlighted, the achievement in advanced sustainable material design and testing in Space and the promising use of micro/nanotechnologies for space applications are discussed.
Alcohol among young people in Iraq: a systematic scoping review
Authors: Al Ansari Mustafa , Dawson Angela , Conigrave Katherine 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIntroductionYoung people in Iraq are exposed to conflict and trauma, and to alcohol references in uncensored international TV and media. Previous regional reviews indicate that alcohol is the least studied substance in Arab countries and no data on young people in Iraq were identified. Accordingly, we re-examined the scope of available literature on alcohol and Iraqi young people, including in studies where alcohol was not the primary focus.MethodsFive major international databases (MEDLINE (OVID), Embase (OVID), PsycINFO (OVID), Scopus, Web of Science) and one local Iraqi database (Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals (IASJ)) were systematically searched for published articles up to 16 September 2019. Original articles that included any alcohol data on general Iraqi young or student samples were included.ResultsThirteen articles met the inclusion criteria from a total of 3374 results. All studies were cross-sectional and quantitative. Most alcohol data were incidental rather than the focus of the studies. All but two studies used face-to-face or pen-and-paper surveys. Each study reported on alcohol differently—with most not using validated tools. A wide range of drinking prevalence was reported (2.2%–23.7%). Studies reported a relatively high rate (12.2–56%) of alcohol misuse among those that drink. Alcohol was associated with risky behaviour in the two studies that reported on this measure.ConclusionResults suggest a low prevalence of drinking compared to non-Muslim Majority Countries (non-MMCs), and a relatively high prevalence of risk amongst drinkers. More research is needed using study methods and validated screening or diagnostic tools tailored for the local Iraqi context.
Psychological science in Argentina: current state & future directions
Authors: Giovannetti Federico , Cevasco Jazmín , Acosta Buralli Karen 
Published: March 2022

AbstractPsychology was internationally developed as a scientific discipline. However, there continues to be a bias towards the publication of research with Western English–speaking samples. In consequence, it is important to understand what challenges non-English speaking countries are facing in their ability to contribute their research. Considering this, the goal of this article is to present an overview of the factors that may affect the development of scientific psychology in Argentina, including the professional practice of psychology, the teaching of psychology in higher education, and obstacles faced by graduate students who pursue research careers. Reviewing these topics will allow us to present the current state of psychological science in Argentina, and to propose future directions for scientific development.
