Obvious manipulations in cake-cutting
Authors: Ortega Josué , Segal-Halevi Erel 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn the classical cake-cutting problem, strategy-proofness is a very costly requirement in terms of fairness: for $$n=2$$

n
=

it implies a dictatorial allocation, whereas for $$n\ge 3$$

n
≥
3

it implies that one agent receives no cake. We show that a weaker version of this property recently suggested by Troyan and Morril (J Econ Theory 185:104970, 2019) is compatible with the fairness property of proportionality, which guarantees that each agent receives 1/n of the cake. Both properties are satisfied by the leftmost-leaves mechanism, an adaptation of the Dubins–Spanier moving knife procedure. Most other classical proportional mechanisms in the literature are obviously manipulable, including the original moving knife mechanism and some other variants of it.

AbstractThe mid-Holocene (MH; 6 ka) is one of the benchmark periods for the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) and provides a unique opportunity to study monsoon dynamics and orbital forcing (i.e., mostly precession) that differ significantly from the present day. We conducted a data–model comparison along with a dynamic analysis to investigate monsoonal (i.e., East Asian summer monsoon; EASM) precipitation changes over East Asia during the MH. We used the three phases of the PMIP simulations for the MH, and quantitatively compare model results with pollen-based climate records. The data–model comparison shows an overall increase in the summer monsoon precipitation, except a local decrease during the MH. Decomposition of the moisture budget into thermodynamic and dynamic components allows us to assess their relative role in controlling EASM precipitation during the MH, and to investigate the precipitation changes obtained from pollen records in terms of physical processes. We show that the dynamic effect, rather than the thermodynamic effect, is the dominant control in increased EASM precipitation during the MH in both the proxy records and models. The dynamic increase in precipitation results mainly from the enhancement of horizontal monsoonal moisture transport that is caused by intensified stationary eddy horizontal circulation over East Asia. In addition, a cloud-related cooling effect reduced the thermodynamic contribution to the increase in EASM precipitation during the MH.

Abstract
Background
Despite continued efforts to improve the safety of catheter ablation, pericardial tamponade remains one of its more frequent, potentially life-threatening complications. Management of cardiac tamponade is not standardized and uncertainties regarding acute treatment remain.

Methods
This survey sought to evaluate the management of cardiac tamponade in German EP centers via a standardized postal questionnaire. All 341 identified German EP centers were invited to return a questionnaire on their standards for the management of cardiac tamponade.

Results
A total of 189 German EP centers completed the questionnaire. Several precautions are followed to avoid pericardial tamponade: A minority of centers preclude very old patients (19%) or those with a high body mass index (30%) from ablation. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants are briefly paused in most centers (88%) before procedures, while vitamin K antagonists are continued. Pericardial tamponade is usually treated using reversal of heparin by applying protamine (86%) and pericardiocentesis under both, fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance (62%). A pigtail catheter is mostly inserted (97%) and autotransfusion of aspirated blood is performed in 47% of centers. The decision for surgical repair depends on different clinical and infrastructural aspects. The timing of reinitiation of anticoagulation widely differs between the centers. Approximately 1/3 of centers prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, colchicine or steroids after pericardiocentesis.

Conclusion
The present survey shows that the management of cardiac tamponade is still inhomogeneous in German ablation centers. However, multiple findings of this survey can be generalized and might guide especially less experienced operators and centers in their treatment and decision strategies.

Abstract
Purpose
To summarize available evidence comparing the transdermal and the oral administration routes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women.

Methods
We performed a systematic review of the literature on multiple databases between January 1990 and December 2021. We included randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing the transdermal and oral administration routes of estrogens for HRT in postmenopausal women regarding at least one of the outcomes of interest: cardiovascular risk, venous thromboembolism (VTE), lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, bone mineral density (BMD), and risk of pre-malignant and malignant endometrial lesions, or breast cancer.

Results
The systematic literature search identified a total of 1369 manuscripts, of which 51 were included. Most studies were observational and of good quality, whereas the majority of randomized controlled trials presented a high or medium risk of bias. Oral and transdermal administration routes are similar regarding BMD, glucose metabolism, and lipid profile improvements, as well as do not appear different regarding breast cancer, endometrial disease, and cardiovascular risk. Identified literature provides clear evidence only for the VTE risk, which is higher with the oral administration route.

Conclusions
Available evidence comparing the transdermal and oral administration routes for HRT is limited and of low quality, recommending further investigations. VTE risk can be considered the clearest and strongest clinical difference between the two administration routes, supporting the transdermal HRT as safer than the oral administration route.

AbstractHigher temperatures can increase metabolic rates and carbon demands of invertebrate herbivores, which may shift leaf-chewing herbivory among plant functional groups differing in C:N (carbon:nitrogen) ratios. Biotic factors influencing herbivore species richness may modulate these temperature effects. Yet, systematic studies comparing leaf-chewing herbivory among plant functional groups in different habitats and landscapes along temperature gradients are lacking. This study was conducted on 80 plots covering large gradients of temperature, plant richness and land use in Bavaria, Germany. We investigated proportional leaf area loss by chewing invertebrates (‘herbivory’) in three plant functional groups on open herbaceous vegetation. As potential drivers, we considered local mean temperature (range 8.4–18.8 °C), multi-annual mean temperature (range 6.5–10.0 °C), local plant richness (species and family level, ranges 10–51 species, 5–25 families), adjacent habitat type (forest, grassland, arable field, settlement), proportion of grassland and landscape diversity (0.2–3 km scale). We observed differential responses of leaf-chewing herbivory among plant functional groups in response to plant richness (family level only) and habitat type, but not to grassland proportion, landscape diversity and temperature—except for multi-annual mean temperature influencing herbivory on grassland plots. Three-way interactions of plant functional group, temperature and predictors of plant richness or land use did not substantially impact herbivory. We conclude that abiotic and biotic factors can assert different effects on leaf-chewing herbivory among plant functional groups. At present, effects of plant richness and habitat type outweigh effects of temperature and landscape-scale land use on herbivory among legumes, forbs and grasses.
Communication when it is needed most—the past, present and future of volcano geoheritage
Authors: Stix John , Heiken Grant 
Published: June 2022

AbstractOur understanding of volcanoes and volcanic systems has been communicated through legends maintained by indigenous communities and books and journal articles for the scientific community and for the public. Today we have additional means to communicate knowledge and information, such as social media, films, videos and websites. To build on these mechanisms, we propose a comprehensive system of information collection and dissemination which will impact and benefit scientists, officials and politicians, students and the public at large. This system comprises (1) an information web for broad understanding of volcano systems and volcanology, and (2) a second web for individual volcanoes. This integrated geoheritage approach provides a template for information dissemination and exchange in the twenty-first century.

AbstractDaily monitoring of airborne fungal spores was carried out for the first time in Al Khor city, Qatar, using a Hirst type 7-day recording volumetric spore trap, from May 2017 to May 2019. During the sampling period, the annual and monthly fluctuations, as well as intradiurnal variations of airborne fungal spore concentrations, were evaluated. Cladosporium, followed by Alternaria, were the spore types most abundant in the atmosphere of the city, with a strong interannual variability in the atmospheric concentrations being observed. The Annual Spore Integrals (ASIns) were 3334 and 1172 spore * day/m3 (2017–2018), and 6796 and 1538 spore * day/m3 (2018–2019) for Cladosporium and Alternaria, respectively. Total daily spore concentrations showed significantly positive correlations with mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures but significantly negative correlations with relative humidity. However, due to the scarce rainfalls’ days, we did not find a statistically significant correlations between Cladosporium and Alternaria spore concentrations and this parameter. Despite this, the spore peaks were strongly related to precipitations that occurred during the previous month. In general, no significant correlations were found with wind speed but, regarding wind direction, the higher percentage of spores were collected when wind blows from the 4th quadrant (NW). According to the intradiurnal pattern, Cladosporium fungal spores displayed their maximum daily concentration during 8:00–10:00 h in the morning, with a second peak in the afternoon, while for Alternaria, the maximum peaks were observed between 08:00 and 14:00 h. Because no consistent previous aerobiological studies exist from Qatar, the aim of this study is to define the seasonality and intradiurnal behaviour of these two airborne fungal spore and the role that, in such arid scene, the meteorological parameters play on the spore concentrations.
Pre-spawning fat and trace metals in Diplodus sargus (Pisces, Sparidae) and possible relationship with the abnormally tough syndrome (ATS)

Published: June 2022

AbstractThis research aimed to explore the variability in the distribution of muscle, perivisceral, and retroperitoneal fat in Diplodus sargus during the pre-spawning period (the period of maximum accumulation of fat reserves) and its possible relationship with the abnormally tough specimen syndrome (ATS) affecting this species. Since pollutants accumulate in adipose tissue, trace metal load in the fattest specimens were also analyzed. Muscle fat content and abdominal fat were highly correlated, and larger individuals had more abundant abdominal fat. However, given its great variability (26% of the specimens had no abdominal fat at all), abdominal fat is likely a transitional fat to be quickly transferred to other tissues. The liver appeared to have a minor role as a fat deposit in D. sargus since HSI varied relatively little. None of the fishes without lipidic reserves were ATS individuals; by contrast, the only ATS individual found, a 28 cm male, showed a muscle fat content above the observed average and one of the highest amounts of perivisceral and retroperitoneal fat. Therefore, we conclude that flesh hardness is not directly related to the low lipid reserves. However, this ATS individual showed a very high liver copper concentration, suggesting a potential link between fat content, copper concentration, and ATS syndrome that should be explored in the future.
Translating COVID-19: From Contagion to Containment
Authors: Arnaldi Marta , Engebretsen Eivind , Forsdick Charles 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article tests the hypothesis that all pandemics are inherently translational. We argue that translation and translation theory can be fruitfully used to understand and manage epidemics, as they help us explore concepts of infectivity and immunity in terms of cultural and biological resistance. After examining the linkage between translation and coronavirus disease from three different yet interlinked perspectives—cultural, medical, and biocultural—we make a case for a translational medical humanities framework for tackling the multifactorial crisis brought about by the SARS-CoV-2 infection. This innovative entanglement of perspectives has the merit of carving out a new space for translation research at the intersection of the sciences and the humanities, providing sustainable ways to conceptualize the production of science at times of crisis, and challenging conventional views of translation as a primarily linguistic and cultural phenomenon that traditionally does not engage with science.
The Association between Subjective Well-being and Regime Type across 78 countries: the moderating role of Political Trust
Authors: Prati Gabriele 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the association between regime type, political trust, and subjective well-being (SWB) in 78 countries. Differently from previous works, democracy was conceptualized in terms of a multidimensional model (i.e., regime type), rather than a bipolar continuum ranging from authoritarian regimes to full democracies. The first question was raised as to whether regime characteristics would be nonlinearly related to SWB. A second question was examined as to whether political trust could moderate the relationship between regime type and well-being, such that under conditions of high or low trust in the government the differences in well-being across the type of regimes would be reduced. Data from the European Values Study as well as from the World Value Survey were used. Moreover, regime types were defined according to the Varieties of Democracy as well as the Economist Intelligence Unit. Multilevel analyses revealed that life satisfaction scores were lower for electoral autocracy compared to closed autocracy and liberal democracy. Moreover, happiness scores were significantly higher for full democracies compared to authoritarian regimes and flawed democracies. Finally, political trust moderated the association between regime type and SWB. Specifically, at higher or lower levels of political trust, the relationship between regime type and well-being tended to decrease. Overall, the findings support the conclusion that the relationship between democracy and subjective well‐being is nonlinear, and that the role of political trust is as important as the role of democracy.

Authors: Mistretta Francesco , Damiani Nicolò , Campanella Delia , Mazzetti Simone , Gulino Alessia , Cappello Giovanni , Regge Daniele 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Purpose
To compare examination quality and acceptability of three different low-volume bowel preparation regimens differing in scheduling of the oral administration of a Macrogol-based solution, in patients undergoing computed tomographic colonography (CTC). The secondary aim was to compare CTC quality according to anatomical and patient variables (dolichocolon, colonic diverticulosis, functional and secondary constipation).

Methods
One-hundred-eighty patients were randomized into one of three regimens where PEG was administered, respectively: in a single dose the day prior to (A), or in a fractionated dose 2 (B) and 3 days (C) before the examination. Two experienced radiologists evaluated fecal tagging (FT) density and homogeneity both qualitatively and quantitatively by assessing mean segment density (MSD) and relative standard deviation (RSD). Tolerance to the regimens and patient variables were also recorded.

Results
Compared to B and C, regimen A showed a lower percentage of segments with inadequate FT and a significantly higher median FT density and/or homogeneity scores as well as significantly higher MSD values in some colonic segments. No statistically significant differences were found in tolerance of the preparations. A higher number of inadequate segments were observed in patients with dolichocolon (p < 0.01) and secondary constipation (p < 0.01). Interobserver agreement was high for the assessment of both FT density (k = 0.887) and homogeneity (k = 0.852).

Conclusion
The best examination quality was obtained when PEG was administered the day before CTC in a single session. The presence of dolichocolon and secondary constipation represent a risk factor for the presence of inadequately tagged colonic segments.

Published: June 2022

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
International stellt Community Health Nursing (CHN) ein etabliertes Konzept dar. Auch in Deutschland wird gegenwärtig die Implementierung in die Primärversorgung diskutiert. Eine systematische Darstellung, welche Aufgaben und Interventionen CHN in der Versorgungspraxis durchführen, fehlt bislang.

Methodik
Im Rahmen eines Scoping Reviews wurde eine Literaturrecherche in internationalen Datenbanken durchgeführt, um einen Überblick der Literatur zu Interventionen und Tätigkeitsfelder von CHN zu erhalten.

Ergebnisse
Insgesamt konnten 24 Studien in die Analyse eingeschlossen werden. Verschiedene Aufgabenschwerpunkte konnten identifiziert und kategorisiert werden: Gesundheitsförderung/Prävention, Evidenzbasierung, Individualversorgung, übergeordnete Tätigkeiten.

Schlussfolgerung
Die Ergebnisse sprechen dafür, dass durch CHN-Interventionen die Versorgung chronisch Erkrankter verbessert werden kann. Die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse auf das deutsche Gesundheitssystem ist derzeit aufgrund der berufsrechtlichen Lage und der Unklarheit bezogen auf die Finanzierung nur eingeschränkt möglich.

AbstractWe characterized five years of seasonal metabolic patterns in two tidal sloughs in Lower South San Francisco Bay, one surrounded by a broad tidal marsh and the other connected to restored salt ponds (ponds). Despite comparable seasonal dissolved oxygen (DO) patterns, the two sloughs exhibited markedly different seasonal metabolic rates. The in-depth analysis of these small intertidal systems reveals the complexity of processes at work in the fringing habitats of larger estuaries. In the marsh-connected slough, respiration rates peaked in summer (~10 g $${\mathrm{O}}_{2}/{\mathrm{m}}^{2}/\mathrm{d}$$

), coincident with highly dynamic net ecosystem production rates (NEP). The peaks in DO consumption were correlated with temperature and tidal elevation. The most negative NEP rates were associated with the highest nighttime tides, when strong over-marsh respiration rates cannot be balanced by production. Thus, the combination of warmer water and the coincidence of higher-high tides with dark hours during summer may largely explain seasonal DO patterns in the marsh-connected slough. In the pond-connected slough, strong net heterotrophy (NEP < -20 g $${\mathrm{O}}_{2}/{\mathrm{m}}^{2}/\mathrm{d}$$

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Recently, the zebrafish has been established as one of the most important model organisms for medical research. Several studies have proved that there is a high level of similarity between human and zebrafish genomes, which encourages the use of zebrafish as a model for understanding human genetic disorders, including cancer. Interestingly, zebrafish skin shows several similarities to human skin, suggesting that this model organism is particularly suitable for the study of neoplastic and inflammatory skin disorders. This paper appraises the specific characteristics of zebrafish skin and describes the major applications of the zebrafish model in dermatological research.
