Published: October 2022

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the performance of the transport sector and its overall intensity. Reducing mobility has a major impact on road traffic accidents. The aim of this study is to forecast the number of road traffic accidents in Poland and Slovakia and to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic affected its trend. For this purpose, data for Poland and Slovakia in the selected relevant period were analyzed. Based on actual data from the past, a forecast was made for the future considering two scenarios – one where there is no effect of pandemic, and another with effect of pandemic. Forecasting the number of accidents in Poland was carried out using selected time series models related to linear trend (Holt and Winters method) and the exponential model. In the case of Slovakia, the model without trend and the exponential model were used to forecast the number of traffic accidents. The results of the research show that the pandemic caused a decrease in the number of traffic accidents in Poland by 31% and in Slovakia by 33%. This is a significant decline, but it is linearly dependent on restrictive measures that affect the mobility of the population. A similar trend can therefore be expected on a European scale.

Abstract
The dependently of the electrical grid is critical key point to safety of the nuclear research reactor (NRR) operation. This paper provides an optimization approach relying on optimal allocation of UPFC device to obtain higher electrical power quality of such nuclear facilities. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique was used to address the optimal UPFC allocation problem. The suggested approach is applied to the IEEE 33-bus test system, and results reveal that the suggested PSO is more efficient in minimizing total power losses and enhancing voltage profile using only one of UPFC device. The results show the technique is good method in this case.

Abstract
A multicenter cross-sectional survey study involving four Italian University Hospitals was performed to test the hypothesis that negative affect and positive affect (affective dimensions) mediate the association between risk perception (perceived risk of infection and death; cognitive dimensions) and the feeling of work exhaustion (WE) among obstetrics healthcare providers (HCPs) during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Totally, 570 obstetrics HCPs were invited to complete the 104-item IPSICO survey in May 2020. A theoretical model built on the tested hypothesis was investigated by structural equation modelling. The model explained 32.2% of the WE variance. Only negative affect mediated the association between cognitive dimensions and WE and also the association between WE and psychological well-being before the pandemic, experiences of stressful events, female gender, and dysfunctional coping. Non-mediated associations with WE were observed for work perceived as a duty, experience of stressful events, support received by colleagues, and the shift strategy. Only previous psychological well-being, support by colleagues, and shift strategies were inversely associated with WE. Based on study results, monitoring negative than positive affect appears superior in predicting WE, with practical implications for planning psychological interventions in HCPs at the individual, interpersonal, and organizational levels.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The physicochemical interaction between asphalt binder and mineral filler plays a key role in deciding the rheological responses of asphalt mastic. Currently, several indices have been proposed to quantify asphalt-filler interaction ability, such as ΔG, K-B-G, and KE based on complex modulus as well as K-B-δ and L-A-δ dependent on phase angle. Much research has confirmed that asphalt-filler interaction degree is closely related to internal and external factors, including asphalt binder and filler characteristics, filler concentration, temperature, and so on. Therefore, investigating whether current indices could accurately describe the influences of these factors on asphalt-filler interaction ability is a significant aspect evaluating their accuracy and feasibility. To this end, the rheological parameters of asphalt binder and corresponding mastics were measured and used to calculate different evaluation indices. The results showed that ΔG, K-B-G, and KE exhibited superior performance on accurately reflecting the effects of external factors by comparison in K-B-δ and L-A-δ. For the internal factors, the indices based on complex modulus could successfully distinguish the interaction ability difference of asphalt binder with active and inert fillers, whereas only ΔG presented excellent performance in terms of measuring the asphalt-filler interaction ability with filler concentration changing. In addition, all of the indices failed to distinguish the interaction degree difference of filler to Pen70 and Pen90 asphalts except certain test conditions, indicating the modification of current indices should consider asphalt components.
Pavement Thickness and Base Layer Effects on Density Profile System Measurement

Abstract
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a nondestructive testing technology that has been used for years to determine pavement layer thicknesses. More recently, several studies have shown that GPR can also be used to evaluate the in-place density of the pavement (i.e., density profiling system) as well as the uniformity of the compaction operations. However, the potential effect of the thickness of the evaluated layer and the type of material located underneath on GPR-measured dielectric constants is still under investigation. As part of the National Pooled Fund study TPF-5(443) sponsorship, the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) evaluated the effect of thickness in the laboratory using 60 cm by 60 cm compacted slabs and evaluated the effect of the base material by placing and testing such slabs on two different asphalt pavements, one concrete pavement, and steel plates. Steel was used to have significant contrast from typical pavement materials. This evaluation also included field testing on several pavement sections built in 2021 as part of the NCAT Test Track new testing cycle. The results of this study indicated that dielectric constants of thin layers (50 mm) may be affected by the base materials with significantly different dielectric constants compared to asphalt pavement. In addition, field evaluation of thinner layers (25 mm or less) indicated that measured dielectric constants can be highly affected by the type of base material, the density of these layers, and presence of water. A potential negative effect is the increase in variability and probability of obtaining fewer results within specified limits.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials are widely used in sustainable construction of the asphalt pavement, which has evident advantages in solving the problem of material costs and waste disposals. However, there are few studies on the influence of RAP materials on the physical hardening of asphalt binders. In this paper, the physical hardening rate from the dynamic mechanical analysis test and grade loss deduced by the extended bending beam rheometer experiment were used to characterize the physical hardening of the RAP-modified asphalt binder at low temperatures. The results show that the loading time–conditioning time superposition principle is suitable to determine the physical hardening rate of RAP-modified asphalt binder through a smooth master curve and verification of the typical 2S2P1D rheological model, and grade loss can be predicted by the physical hardening rate using their good correlation. The RAP binders can accelerate the degree of physical hardening and increase the thermal stresses of the asphalt binder, and these effects are more evident for the RAP binder with longer aging time and higher content. The base asphalt with less wax content will act as a regenerant, which can accommodate more content of the RAP materials to produce a new usable asphalt binder.

AbstractRunning wheels for mice residing in the home cage are useful for the continuous measurement of locomotor activity for studies testing exercise interventions or exercise-induced effects on brain and metabolism. Here, we have developed an open source, printable, open-faced running wheel that is automated to collect locomotor information such as distance traveled, wheel direction, and velocity that can be binned into epochs over 24 h or multiple days. This system allows for remote data collection to avoid human interference in mouse behavioral experiments. We tested this system in an activity-based anorexia procedure. Using these wheels, we replicate previous findings that food restriction augments wheel-running activity.
Distinct Roles of Dopamine Receptor Subtypes in the Nucleus Accumbens during Itch Signal Processing

Published: October 2022

Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons, which are well known for their central roles in reward and motivation-related behaviors, have been shown to participate in itch processing via their projection to the nucleus accumbens (NAc). However, the functional roles of different dopamine receptor subtypes in subregions of the NAc during itch processing remain unknown. With pharmacological approaches, we found that the blockade of dopamine D1 receptors (D1R), but not dopamine D2 receptors (D2R), in the lateral shell (LaSh) of the NAc impaired pruritogen-induced scratching behavior in male mice. In contrast, pharmacological activation of D2R in both the LaSh and medial shell (MeSh) of the NAc attenuated the scratching behavior induced by pruritogens. Consistently, we found that dopamine release, as detected by a dopamine sensor, was elevated in the LaSh rather than the MeSh of the NAc at the onset of scratching behavior. Furthermore, the elevation of dopamine release in the LaSh of the NAc persisted even though itch-relieving behavior was blocked, suggesting that the dopamine signal in the NAc LaSh represents a motivational component of itch processing. Our study revealed different dynamics of dopamine release that target neurons expressing two dopamine receptors subtypes within different subregions of the NAc, and emphasized that D1R in the LaSh of the NAc is important in itch signal processing.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDopamine has been implicated in itch signal processing. However, the mechanism underlying the functional role of dopamine in itch processing remains largely unknown. Here, we examined the role of dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) and D2R in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell during pruritogen-induced scratching behavior. We demonstrated that D1R in the NAc lateral shell (LaSh) play an important role in motivating itch-induced scratching behavior, while activation of D2R would terminate scratching behavior. Our study revealed the diverse functional roles of dopamine signals in the NAc shell during itch processing.

In Parkinson's disease patients and rodent models, dopaminergic neuron loss (DAN) results in severe motor disabilities. In contrast, general motility is preserved after early postnatal DAN loss in rodents. Here we used mice of both sexes to show that the preserved motility observed after early DAN loss depends on functional changes taking place in medium spiny neurons (MSN) of the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) that belong to the direct pathway (dMSN). Previous animal model studies showed that adult loss of dopaminergic input depresses dMSN response to cortical input, which likely contributes to Parkinson's disease motor impairments. However, the response of DMS-dMSN to their preferred medial PFC input is preserved after neonatal DAN loss as shown byin vivostudies. Moreover, their response to inputs from adjacent cortical areas is increased, resulting in reduced cortical inputs selectivity. Additionalex vivostudies show that membrane excitability increases in dMSN. Furthermore, chemogenetic inhibition of DMS-dMSN has a more marked inhibitory effect on general motility in lesioned mice than in their control littermates, indicating that expression of normal levels of locomotion and general motility depend on dMSN activity after early DAN loss. Contrastingly, DMS-dMSN inhibition did not ameliorate a characteristic phenotype of the DAN-lesioned animals in a marble burying task demanding higher behavioral control. Thus, increased dMSN excitability likely promoting changes in corticostriatal functional connectivity may contribute to the distinctive behavioral phenotype emerging after developmental DAN loss, with implications for our understanding of the age-dependent effects of forebrain dopamine depletion and neurodevelopment disorders.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe loss of striatal dopamine in the adult brain leads to life-threatening motor impairments. However, general motility remains largely unaffected after its early postnatal loss. Here, we show that the high responsiveness to cortical input of striatal neurons belonging to the direct basal ganglia pathway, crucial for proper motor functioning, is preserved after early dopamine neuron loss, in parallel with an increase in these cells' membrane excitability. Chemogenetic inhibition studies show that the preserved motility depends on this direct pathway hyperexcitability/hyperconnectivity, while other phenotypes characteristic of this condition remained unaltered despite the dMSN inhibition. This insight has implications for our understanding of the mechanism underlying the behavioral impairments observed in neuropsychiatric conditions linked to early dopaminergic hypofunction.

Abstract‘What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet.’ (Juliet, from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare). Shakespeare's implication is that a name is nothing but a word and it therefore represents a convention with no intrinsic meaning. Whilst this may be relevant to romantic literature, disease names do have real meanings, and consequences, in medicine. Hence, there must be a very good rationale for changing the name of a disease that has a centuries-old historical context. A working group of representatives from national and international endocrinology, nephrology and pediatric societies now proposes changing the name of ‘diabetes insipidus’ to ‘arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D)’ for central etiologies and ‘arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R)’ for nephrogenic etiologies. This editorial provides both the historical context and the rationale for this proposed name change.
