Published: December 2022

AbstractIt is assumed that clay materials such as bentonites will be used as the buffer and backfill of high-level radioactive waste disposal. Due to the very long timescale, the design can be based only on mathematical models that have been thoroughly validated via the use of high-quality laboratory data. The presentation of an extensive laboratory dataset, accompanied by the validation of a bentonite constitutive model, comprises the main topic of this paper. The objectives of the laboratory research were to determine the basic hydromechanical properties of BCV bentonite and to study the stress path behaviour of this bentonite. The laboratory results revealed that the hydromechanical behaviour is highly dependent on the stress path assumed, as well as the method of water introduction into the sample. The results further indicate that the micro- and macrostructures are constantly evolving, which exerts a significant impact on the determination of the material properties and the development of mathematical models. Moreover, it was demonstrated that swelling pressure tests, although they are typically considered to be element tests (with constant fields of state variables), when adopted by researchers for the calibration of constitutive models, do not in fact constitute element tests. A hypoplastic model of the behaviour of bentonite was implemented and validated using the experimental data obtained. It was demonstrated that the hypoplastic model accurately predicted the main behavioural features of bentonite that are important in terms of the prediction of the behaviour of the buffer in nuclear waste repositories.

Published: December 2022

AbstractPersonality traits have been extensively studied to understand different behavioral addictions. However, less is known about the relationship of employees’ dark personality traits and work addiction. The purpose of the present study was to examine the associations between the Big Five personality traits (i.e., extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness) and dark personality traits (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism, and spitefulness) with work addiction. A total of 514 private sector employees completed a survey that included psychometric assessment tools for the aforementioned variables. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that lower extroversion, lower openness to experience, higher narcissism, and higher spitefulness were positively associated with work addiction among private sector employees. The findings of the present study suggest that dark personality traits should also be taken into account in order to better understand work addiction among employees.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Summary

Additional variables for a nationwide hip fracture registry must be carefully chosen to prevent unnecessary registry load. A registry pilot in seven hospitals resulted in recommending polypharmacy, serum hemoglobin at admittance, and questions screening for risk of delirium to be used in case-mix correction and for development of quality indicators.

Purpose
Clinical registries help improve the quality of care but come at the cost of registration load. Datasets should therefore be as compact as possible; however, variables are usually chosen empirically. This study aims to evaluate potential variables with additional value to improve the nationwide Dutch Hip Fracture Audit (DHFA).

Methods
An expert panel selected eleven new variables for the DHFA, which were tested in a prospective cohort of all hip fracture patients treated in 2018 and 2019 in seven pilot hospitals participating in the DHFA. The association of these eleven variables with complications, mortality, and functional outcomes at 3 months was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Based on the results, a proposal for variables to add to the dataset of the DHFA was made.

Results
In 4.904 analyzed patients, three tested variables had significant associations (p < 0.01) with outcomes: polypharmacy with complications (aOR 1.34), serum hemoglobin at admittance with complications (aOR 0.63) and mortality (aOR for 30-day mortality 0.78), and a set of questions screening for risk of delirium with complications in general (aOR 1.55), e.g., delirium (aOR 2.98), and decreased functional scores at three months (aOR 1.98).

Conclusion
This study assesses potential new variables for a hip fracture registry. Based on the results of this study, we recommend polypharmacy, serum hemoglobin at admittance, and questions screening for risk of delirium to be used in case-mix correction and for the development of quality indicators. Incorporating these variables in the DHFA dataset may contribute to better and clinically relevant quality indicators.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe evaluation of the bioavailability of topically applied medications that act inside or under the skin is a challenging task. Herein, the current study describes a simple, quick, and low-cost electrochemical platform for determining butenafine hydrochloride (BTH) that is mainly prescribed as a treatment of dermatophytosis, applying titanium nanoparticles and an ionic liquid as outstanding mediators. In terms of low detection limits (61.63 nM) and extensive range of 2.21 × 10–7–13.46 × 10–5 M, the established electrochemical technique provided worthy analytical performance for butenafine hydrochloride sensing. The suggested sensor's practical applicability was effectively demonstrated in pharmaceutical preparations, actual stratum corneum samples, and simultaneous detection of butenafine hydrochloride and Itraconazole in pharmaceutical preparation for the first time. All of the experimental factors, like the pH and scan rate, have been investigated and optimized. Diffusion coefficients of butenafine hydrochloride at bare and modified sensors were calculated.

AbstractThe oviduct provides optimum physiological and biochemical milieu essential for successful fertilization, early embryo development and facilitates functional maturation of spermatozoa.
A study has revealed that spermatozoa alters the gene expression in bovine oviductal epithelial cells (BOECs) remotely via bio-active particles, thus acting as a cue to the oviduct prior to their arrival. However, very little attention has been paid to the question of whether spermatozoa could alter the cargo of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from BOECs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the alterations in small non-coding RNAs in EVs cargo derived from BOECs when incubated with spermatozoa in contact and non-contact co-culture models. After 4 h of incubation the EVs were isolated from the conditioned media, followed by small non-coding sequencing of the BOEC derived EVs. Our results revealed that EVs from both co-culture models contained distinct cargo in form of miRNA, fragmented mRNA versus control. The pathway enrichment analysis revealed that EV miRNA from direct co-culture were involved in the biological processes associated with phagocytosis, macroautophagy, placenta development, cellular responses to TNF and FGF. The mRNA fragments also varied within the different groups and mapped to the exonic regions of the transcriptome providing vital insights regarding the changes in cellular transcriptome on the arrival of spermatozoa. The findings of this study suggest that spermatozoa, in contact as well as remotely, alter the EV cargo of female reproductive tract epithelial cells which might be playing an essential role in pre and post-fertilization events.

Published: December 2022

AbstractPrimary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by progressive calcium deposition bilaterally in the brain, accompanied by various symptoms, such as dystonia, ataxia, parkinsonism, dementia, depression, headaches, and epilepsy. Currently, the etiology of PFBC is largely unknown, and no specific prevention or treatment is available. During the past 10 years, six causative genes (SLC20A2,PDGFRB,PDGFB,XPR1,MYORG, andJAM2) have been identified in PFBC. In this review, considering mechanistic studies of these genes at the cellular level and in animals, we summarize the pathogenesis and potential preventive and therapeutic strategies for PFBC patients. Our systematic analysis suggests a classification for PFBC genetic etiology based on several characteristics, provides a summary of the known composition of brain calcification, and identifies some potential therapeutic targets for PFBC.
Effects of magnetized municipal effluent on some physical properties of soil in furrow irrigation

Published: December 2022

AbstractDue to the water crisis, effluent reuse is an effective method in order to supply crop water requirements. In order to study the impact of treated and magnetic effluent on the soil properties, this research was conducted in randomized complete block design with three irrigation treatments; including "effluent", "magnetic effluent" and "normal water" in four replications. Soil samples were taken from two surface and subsurface soil layers and at the upper and the downstream of each furrow. Evaluating the apparent specific gravity of soil in different water quality treatments showed that this soil property was increased effectively at the upstream part of the furrow. Similar results were also observed in the field capacity but more fluctuations were observed. Simultaneously, effluent treatment showed decreasing effects on soil water holding capacity during the time, which can be attributed to the increasing of soil organic matters. It seems that the high fluctuations between different design blocks are related to the gravelly nature of soil. However, intensification or weakening effect of these changes was not even found by magnetic.

Abstract
In the face of climate change, cropping systems need to achieve a high performance, providing food and feed and adapting to variable environmental conditions. Diversification of cropping systems can support ecosystem services and associated biodiversity, but there is little evidence on which temporal field arrangement affects the performance of crop yields (productivity and stability), partly due to a lack of long-term data and appropriate indicators. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effect of cropping system diversification on yield stability, environmental adaptability, and the probability of diversified systems to outperform less diverse cereal-based systems in Europe. Spring and winter cereal yields were analyzed from long-term field experiments from Sweden, Scotland, and France. We investigated diversification through (i) introduction of perennial leys, (ii) increasing the proportion of ley in the rotation, (iii) varying the order in which crops are positioned in the rotation, (iv) introduction of grain legumes, and (v) introduction of cover crops. The results showed that cereal crops within cropping systems incorporating perennial leys outperformed systems without leys in 60–94% of the comparisons with higher probabilities at low fertilizer intensities. The yield stability of oat did not differ, but mean yields were 33% higher, when grown directly after the ley compared to oat grown two years later in the crop sequence under similar management. Durum wheat grown in a cropping system with grain legumes had higher yields in lower-yielding environmental conditions compared to rotations without legumes. Diversification with cover crops did not significantly affect yield stability. We conclude that diverse cropping systems can increase cereal productivity and environmental adaptability and are more likely to outperform less diverse systems especially when introducing perennial forage legumes into arable systems. Effects of diversification on cereal yield stability were inconsistent indicating that higher productivity is achievable without reducing yield variability. These novel findings can support the design of more diverse and high-performing cropping systems.

Published: December 2022

AbstractCO2 capture is a promising approach to aid in the mitigation of the global environmental crisis caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The efficiency of adsorbents is critical to the success of this approach. Sugarcane bagasse fly ash (SBA) was used in this study as a support to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity of CaO. The physical and chemical characteristics of SBA treated with various reagents (HCl, H3PO4, CH3COOH, NaOH, NH3, and H2O2) were investigated. The CaO was then loaded at 10–50 wt% on the support surface, and the modified adsorbent was tested for its potential to adsorb CO2. According to the results of the experiments, the acidic reagent increased the surface area of SBA, whereas the base reagents provided SBA with a higher pore volume and a larger pore size. The different surface characteristics of the modified SBA had a direct impact on its CO2 adsorption capacity. The adsorbent with NaOH-pretreated SBA and 50% CaO loading had the highest CO2 adsorption capacity, which was 27% higher than that of unsupported CaO due to the decent distribution of CaO found on the NaOH-treated SBA surface. For a better understanding, a graphical model was finally proposed to describe the aforementioned changes in surface characteristics and adhesion of CaO on the SBA support. These findings show that SBA, a valueless bagasse-incinerating waste material, can be used as a support to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity of adsorbents, transforming it into a more valuable and environmentally sustainable material.

Abstract

Background and Aim
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted adverse outcomes in Asian, Black, and ethnic minority groups. More research is required to explore underlying ethnic health inequalities. In this study, we aim to examine pre-COVID ethnic inequalities more generally through healthcare utilisation to contextualise underlying inequalities that were present before the pandemic.

Design
This was an ecological study exploring all admissions to NHS hospitals in England from 2017 to 2020.

Methods
The primary outcomes were admission rates within ethnic groups. Secondary outcomes included age-specific and age-standardised admission rates. Sub-analysis of admission rates across an index of multiple deprivation (IMD) deciles was also performed to contextualise the impact of socioeconomic differences amongst ethnic categories. Results were presented as a relative ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals.

Results
Age-standardised admission rates were higher in Asian (RR 1.40 [1.38–1.41] in 2019) and Black (RR 1.37 [1.37–1.38]) and lower in Mixed groups (RR 0.91 [0.90–0.91]) relative to White. There was significant missingness or misassignment of ethnicity in NHS admissions: with 11.7% of admissions having an unknown/not-stated ethnicity assignment and ‘other’ ethnicity being significantly over-represented. Admission rates did not mirror the degree of deprivation across all ethnic categories.

Conclusions
This study shows Black and Asian ethnic groups have higher admission rates compared to White across all age groups and when standardised for age. There is evidence of incomplete and misidentification of ethnicity assignment in NHS admission records, which may introduce bias to work on these datasets. Differences in admission rates across individual ethnic categories cannot solely be explained by socioeconomic status. Further work is needed to identify ethnicity-specific factors of these inequalities to allow targeted interventions at the local level.

Published: December 2022

AbstractLived experience research related to mental health recovery is advancing, but there remains a lack of narrative material from the perspectives of people from under-represented, non-dominant cultural backgrounds in this domain. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of mental health recovery in people of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in the Australian context. The current study involved a secondary analysis of audio and visual data collected during the digital storytelling project Finding our way in Melbourne, Australia. Thematic analysis was used to understand the lived experience narratives of nine participants in relation to mental health recovery. Five themes were identified through an iterative process of analysis, including Newfound opportunities and care, Family as key motivators and facilitators, Coping and generativity, Cultivating self-understanding and resilience, and Empowerment through social engagement. First person lived experience narratives offer deep insight into understanding the ways in which individuals of marginalised communities conceptualise and embody recovery. These findings further the literature and understanding on how to better serve the needs of people with mental health challenges from CALD communities through informed knowledge of what may be helpful to, and meaningful in, individuals’ recoveries.
An efficient privacy-preserving point-of-interest recommendation model based on local differential privacy

Published: December 2022

AbstractWith the rapid development of point-of-interest (POI) recommendation services, how to utilize the multiple types of users’ information safely and effectively for a better recommendation is challenging. To solve the problems of imperfect privacy-preserving mechanism and insufficient response-ability to complex contexts, this paper proposes a hybrid POI recommendation model based on local differential privacy (LDP). Firstly, we introduce randomized response techniques k-RR and RAPPOR to disturb users’ ratings and social relationships, respectively and propose a virtual check-in time generation method to deal with the issue of missing check-in time after disturbance. Secondly, for simultaneously combining multiple types of information, we construct a hybrid model containing three sub-models. Sub-model 1 considers the effect of user preference, social relationship, forgetting feature, and check-in trajectory on similarity calculation. Sub-model 2 analyzes the geographical correlation of POIs. Sub-model 3 focuses on the categories of POIs. Finally, we generate the recommendation results. To test the performance of privacy-preserving and recommendation, we design three groups of experiments on three real-world datasets for comprehensive verifying. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods. Theoretically, our study contributes to the effective and safe usage of multidimensional data science and analytics for privacy-preserving POI recommender system design. Practically, our findings can be used to improve the quality of POI recommendation services.
Josephe Maria Asteron. Kleists koloniale Heilsgeschichte
Authors: Schuster Jana 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungMit Blick auf biblische, politische und literarische Intertexte (Las Casas, Shakespeare, Marino/Brockes, Schiller) zum ideologischen Zusammenhang von Geschlecht, Gewalt, Herrschaft und Heil liest der Beitrag Kleists Erdbeben in Chili als subversive Passions- und Heilsgeschichte, deren marianische Matrix die koloniale Toponymie Chiles vorgibt: St. Jago nach dem ersten Marienseher Sankt Jakobus, La Concepción nach der unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariens und das im Text namentlich nicht genannte, aber in Szene gesetzte Valparaíso im trügerischen utopischen Zeichen der Heiligen und der Menschheitsfamilie. Ausgehend von diesem toponomastischen Inspirationskern wird der Versuch unternommen, den kolonialen Schauplatz beim Wort zu nehmen und die soziale und politische Gemengelage um Hauslehrerliebe, Strafverfolgung, Erdbeben, Gemeinschaftsutopie und Lynchmord vor dem Hintergrund der chilenischen Kolonialgeschichte schärfer zu konturieren. Protagonistin dieser anderen Heilsgeschichte, die Kleist in ein spezifisch kolonialherrschaftliches Machtgerangel von Erzbischof, Vizekönig, örtlichem Adel und spanischem Bürgertum versetzt und nach ikonographischen Vorbildern inszeniert, ist Josephe Asteron, die als Novizin den Leib Christi in einem Kind der Sünde inkarniert, als femina sacra nach dem Erdbeben zur heilsträchtigen Stillmutter avanciert und als sexuell begehrenswerte Frau einem Massaker der Beherrschten zum Opfer fällt, das die kolonialherrschaftliche Gewalt im Sinne René Girards mimetisch verkehrt, ohne deren ideologischen Horizont, die christliche Eschatologie, zu durchbrechen. Kleists Novelle wird noch in der radikalen Subversion des christlichen Heilsversprechens von dessen persuasiver Kraft befeuert.
