Abstract
Shumski, EJ, Lempke, LB, Johnson, RS, Oh, J, Schmidt, JD, and Lynall, RC. Jump height and hip power decrease during cognitive loading regardless of sex: implications for sport performance metrics. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 793–798, 2023—Sex and cognitive loading separately influence jumping performance. However, it is unknown how cognitive loading influences jump performance and how sex and cognitive loading interact. The purpose of our study was to determine if an interaction existed between sex and cognitive loading for the dependent variables jump height, ground contact time, reactive strength index, vertical stiffness, impulse, and lower extremity joint power during a double limb drop vertical jump. Twenty-one male (23.2 ± 2.5 years, 180.8 ± 8.4 cm, 80.4 ± 10.2 kg) and 20 female (21.7 ± 1.0 years, 163.7 ± 8.2 cm, 61.2 ± 9.4 kg) physically active individuals participated. Subjects jumped from a 30 cm box placed 50% of their height away from 2 force plates under single-task and dual-task (serial 6s or 7s) conditions. Separate 2 × 2 analyses of variance were used for all dependent variables (α = 0.05) with Bonferroni post hoc mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). There were no significant interactions for any outcomes (p ≥ 0.190). Condition main effects demonstrated subjects jumped significantly higher (1.84 cm, 95% CI = 0.68–3.01, d = 0.26, p = 0.003) and with greater hip power (0.29 Watts·BW−1·HT−1, 95% CI = 0.04–0.54, d = 0.21, p = 0.025) during single task compared with dual task. Sex main effects revealed males jumped higher (9.88 cm, 95% CI = 7.00–12.77, d = 2.17, p < 0.001), with greater reactive strength index (0.29, 95% CI = 0.17–0.41, d = 1.52, p < 0.001), greater ankle power (3.70 Watts·BW−1·HT−1, 95% CI = 2.26–5.13, d = 1.64, p < 0.001), and greater knee power (5.00 Watts·BW−1·HT−1, 95% CI = 3.25–6.75, d = 1.82, p < 0.001) compared with females. Jump performance is influenced by sex and dual-task conditions but not their interaction. To optimize jumping performance, testing should be completed without distractions (single task) to decrease cognitive loading.

Abstract
Garbellotto, L, Petit, E, Brunet, E, Guirronnet, S, Clolus, Y, Gillet, V, Bourdin, H, and Mougin, F. Gradual advance of sleep-wake schedules before an eastward flight and phase adjustment after flight in elite cross-country mountain bikers: effects on sleep and performance. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 872–880, 2023—Strategies, for alleviating jet lag, specifically targeted to competitive athletes have never been studied, in ecological conditions. This study aimed to assess the effects of a phase advance before a 7-hour eastward flight followed by a strategy of resynchronization at destination on sleep and physical performance in professional mountain bikers. Six athletes participated in this study divided into 4 periods: (i) baseline (usual sleep-wake rhythm); (ii) phase advance (advance sleep-wake schedules of 3 hours for 6 days); (iii) travel (flight: Paris-Tokyo); and (iv) phase adjustment (resynchronization of sleep-wake schedules). Melatonin pills and light therapy were administrated during the phase advance and phase adjustment. Sleep was recorded by polysomnography and actigraphy, core body temperature (CBT) rhythm was assessed by ingestible capsules, and physical performances were tested by the Wingate and 5-minute maximal exercise tests. Results showed that bedtime was advanced by 2.9 hours at the end of the phase advance (p ≤ 0.01) with a batyphase of CBT advanced by 2.5 hours (p = 0.07). Bedtime was similar at destination compared with baseline. Total sleep time and sleep composition were unchanged at the end of the phase advance or at destination, compared with baseline. Physical performances were maintained after phase advance and at destination. The phase advance enabled to preshift part of the time zones without disturbing sleep and physical performances and contributed to preserving them once at destination. A phase advance before eastward travel represents an effective strategy to counter harmful effects of jet lag.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The Continuing Erosion Filter (CEF) test and criteria were developed by Foster and Fell to assess severities of internal erosion of an existing embankment dam whose filter does not satisfy modern filter design criteria developed by Sherard and Dunnigan. Those criteria were developed from laboratory tests on materials that may not be directly applicable to the widely graded filter materials. To address this issue, a large diameter (300 mm) rigid-wall permeameter was constructed to assess the internal erosion of zoned embankment dams constructed of widely graded filter materials. The large permeameter allows for testing of embankment dam fill materials up to a maximum particle size of 37.5 mm. A commissioning test program was conducted to verify the test equipment and testing methodology used in this study. Two CEF test results from the test program are reported in this paper to demonstrate the novel features of the permeameter cell design and its test setup. These features include a split-cell design for ergonomic function, real-time outflow rate measurement, inflow and filter specimen water pressure measurements, and erosion loss measurement. A wet method to estimate erosion loss was proposed as an alternative to the traditional oven-drying method.

Published: September 2022

Although recent studies have revealed an involvement of hippocampal interneurons in learning the association among time-separated events, its underlying cellular mechanisms remained not fully clarified. Here, we combined multichannel recording and optogenetics to elucidate how the hippocampal parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PV-INs) support associative learning. To address this issue, we trained the mice (both sexes) to learn hippocampus-dependent trace eyeblink conditioning (tEBC) in which they associated a light flash conditioned stimulus (CS) with a corneal air puff unconditioned stimuli (US) separated by a 250 ms time interval. We found that the hippocampal PV-INs exhibited learning-associated sustained activity at the early stage of tEBC acquisition. Moreover, the PV-IN sustained activity was positively correlated with the occurrence of conditioned eyeblink responses at the early learning stage. Suppression of the PV-IN sustained activity impaired the acquisition of tEBC, whereas the PV-IN activity suppression had no effect on the acquisition of delay eyeblink conditioning, a hippocampus-independent learning task. Learning-associated augmentation in the excitatory pyramidal cell-to-PVIN drive may contribute to the formation of PV-IN sustained activity. Suppression of the PV-IN sustained activity disrupted hippocampal gamma but not theta band oscillation during the CS-US interval period. Gamma frequency (40 Hz) activation of the PV-INs during the CS-US interval period facilitated the acquisition of tEBC. Our current findings highlight the involvement of hippocampal PV-INs in tEBC acquisition and reveal insights into the PV-IN activity kinetics which are of key importance for the hippocampal involvement in associative learning.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe cellular mechanisms underlying associative learning have not been fully clarified. Previous studies focused on the involvement of hippocampal pyramidal cells in associative learning, whereas the activity and function of hippocampal interneurons were largely neglected. We herein demonstrated the hippocampal PV-INs exhibited learning-associated sustained activity, which was required for the acquisition of tEBC. Furthermore, we showed evidence that the PV-IN sustained activity might have arisen from the learning-associated augmentation in excitatory pyramidal cell-to-PVIN drive and contributed to learning-associated augmentation in gamma band oscillation during tEBC acquisition. Our findings provide more mechanistic understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying the hippocampal involvement in associative learning.

OBJECTIVE
Rural-residing children in the United States experience higher suicide mortality than urban-residing children but are underrepresented in research. We examined changes in emergency department (ED) utilization and subsequent hospitalization for suicide or self-harm in a rural hospital after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic onset.

METHODS
This retrospective cohort study involved children aged 5 to 17 years visiting a rural, Northeastern hospital from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2021. We used autoregressive integrated moving average modeling, an interrupted time series analysis, to examine monthly changes after the pandemic onset (March 2020) in ED visits with a primary mental health diagnosis, number of mental health visits with a suicide or self-harm diagnosis, proportion of patients with suicide or self-harm admitted to hospital, and length of stay for suicide or self-harm.

RESULTS
Prepandemic, there was an average of 20.6 visits per month for mental health conditions, with 23.3 visits per month postpandemic (P = .16). Monthly visits for suicide or self-harm were greater in the postpandemic (15.6 visits per month) versus prepandemic months (11.4 visits per month, P &lt; .01). In autoregressive integrated moving average modeling, pandemic onset related to an additional 0.83 (95% confidence interval: 0.31 to 1.36) primary mental health visits with suicide or self-harm diagnoses per month. Of these visits, there was an immediate, absolute increase of 39.6% (95% confidence interval: 26.0% to 53.1%) in the proportion resulting in admission; admission rates declined in subsequent months. Pandemic onset was not associated with significant changes in the number of visits for mental health conditions or length of stay.

CONCLUSIONS
Pediatric ED visits for suicide or self-harm increased at a significant rate during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and a greater proportion resulted in hospitalization, highlighting the acute mental health needs of rural-residing children.

OBJECTIVES
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe intestinal inflammatory disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in NICUs. Management of NEC is variable because of the lack of evidence-based recommendations. It is widely accepted that standardization of patient care leads to improved outcomes. This quality improvement project aimed to decrease variation in the evaluation and management of NEC in a Level IV NICU.

METHODS
A multidisciplinary team investigated institutional variation in NEC management and developed a standardized guideline and electronic medical record tools to assist in evaluation and management. Retrospective baseline data were collected for 2 years previously and prospectively for 3.5 years after interventions. Outcomes included the ratio of observed-to-expected days of antibiotics and nil per os (NPO) on the basis of the novel guidelines and the percentage of cases treated with piperacillin/tazobactam. Balancing measures were death, surgery, and antifungal use.

RESULTS
Over 5.5 years, there were 124 evaluations for NEC. Special cause variation was noted in the observed-to-expected antibiotic and NPO days ratios, decreasing from 1.94 to 1.18 and 1.69 to 1.14, respectively. Piperacillin/tazobactam utilization increased from 30% to 91%. There were no increases in antifungal use, surgery, or death.

CONCLUSIONS
Variation in evaluation and management of NEC decreased after initiation of a guideline and supporting electronic medical record tools, with fewer antibiotic and NPO days without an increase in morbidity or mortality. A quality improvement approach can benefit patients and decrease variability, even in diseases with limited evidence-based standards.
Towards better control of chemical risks associated with mining operations in Quebec (Canada) Part 2: Ranking of the potential effects of chemicals on the health of mining workers
Authors: Biyick Paul-Patrice , Badri Adel , Gauthier François 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe mining industry, currently undergoing profound changes, is destined to play an increasingly important economic role in the province of Quebec, Canada. Activity in this sector, its real net impact on government tax revenue, the economy, society, and the creation of wealth, is the subject of much discussion. Occupational health and safety is a major preoccupation in the mining sector, in which considerable numbers of workers suffer workplace accidents or occupational diseases due to the use of industrial chemicals, compounding the problem of exposure to noxious substances that exist naturally in mines or are produced inevitably in the course of normal mining operations. Air in mines thus can become laden with a wide variety of chemical agents, in the form of suspended solids, liquid droplets, and vapors and gases. Long-term exposure to most of these agents can seriously harm the health of mineworkers. Prevention remains the key to avoiding the social and economic consequences of these hazards and will make mining a more attractive sector for investment and employment in Canada.The principal focus of this study, presented in two articles, is to set a preliminary theoretical framework for categorizing chemicals in terms of their effects on the health of mineworkers throughout the various phases of mining projects. The objective is to decrease (over the long term) the number of occupational diseases due to the use of chemicals by raising awareness among employers and exposed workers in the mining sector.This research was conducted in four phases. The first article presented a review of the literature [1] on the chemical aspects of health and safety in mining in the province of Quebec. In the present article, the findings on the recurrence of health problems attributable to chemicals encountered in mines and how these effects should therefore be ranked from an occupational health and safety perspective are presented. The results show that various forms of dermatitis are the most recurrent health and safety risk.
Incremental Policy Generation for Finite-Horizon DEC-POMDPs
Authors: Amato Christopher , Dibangoye Jilles , Zilberstein Shlomo 
Published: September 2022

Solving multiagent planning problems modeled as DEC-POMDPs is an important challenge. These models are often solved by using dynamic programming, but the high resource usage of current approaches results in limited scalability. To improve the efficiency of dynamic programming algorithms, we propose a new backup algorithm that is based on a reachability analysis of the state space. This method, which we call incremental policy generation, can be used to produce an optimal solution for any possible initial state or further scalability can be achieved by making use of a known start state. When incorporated into the optimal dynamic programming algorithm, our experiments show that planning horizon can be increased due to a marked reduction in resource consumption. This approach also fits nicely with approximate dynamic programming algorithms. To demonstrate this, we incorporate it into the state-of-the-art PBIP algorithm and show significant performance gains. The results suggest that the performance of other dynamic programming algorithms for DEC-POMDPs could be similarly improved by integrating the incremental policy generation approach.
Action Elimination and Plan Neighborhood Graph Search: Two Algorithms for Plan Improvement
Authors: Nakhost Hootan , Müller Martin 
Published: September 2022

Compared to optimal planners, satisficing planners can solve much harder problems but may produce overly costly and long plans. Plan quality for satisficing planners has become increasingly important. The most recent planning competition IPC-2008 used the cost of the best known plan divided by the cost of the generated plan as an evaluation metric. This paper proposes and evaluates two simple but effective methods for plan improvement: Action Elimination improves an existing plan by repeatedly removing sets of irrelevant actions. Plan Neighborhood Graph Search finds a new, shorter plan by creating a plan neighborhood graph PNG(π) of a given plan π, and then extracts a shortest path from PNG(π). Both methods are implemented in the Aras postprocessor and are empirically shown to improve the result of several planners, including the top four planners from IPC-2008, under competition conditions.
Goal Recognition Design
Authors: Keren Sarah , Gal Avigdor , Karpas Erez 
Published: September 2022

We propose a new problem we refer to as goal recognitiondesign (grd), in which we take a domain theory and a set ofgoals and ask the following questions: to what extent do theactions performed by an agent within the model reveal its objective, and what is the best way to modify a model so thatany agent acting in the model reveals its objective as early aspossible. Our contribution is the introduction of a new measure we call worst case distinctiveness (wcd) with which weassess a grd model. The wcd represents the maximal lengthof a prefix of an optimal path an agent may take within a system before it becomes clear at which goal it is aiming. Tomodel and solve the grd problem we choose to use the models and tools from the closely related field of automated planning. We present two methods for calculating the wcd of agrd model, one of which is based on a novel compilation to aclassical planning problem. We then propose a way to reducethe wcd of a model by limiting the set of available actions anagent can perform and provide a method for calculating theoptimal set of actions to be removed from the model. Our empirical evaluation shows the proposed solution to be effectivein computing and minimizing wcd.
LP-Based Heuristics for Cost-Optimal Planning
Authors: Pommerening Florian , Röger Gabriele , Helmert Malte , Bonet Blai 
Published: September 2022

Many heuristics for cost-optimal planning are based on linear programming. We cover several interesting heuristics of this type by a common framework that fixes the objective function of the linear program. Within the framework, constraints from different heuristics can be combined in one heuristic estimate which dominates the maximum of the component heuristics. Different heuristics of the framework can be compared on the basis of their constraints. With this new method of analysis, we show dominance of the recent LP-based state-equation heuristic over optimal cost partitioning on single-variable abstractions. We also show that the previously suggested extension of the state-equation heuristic to exploit safe variables cannot lead to an improved heuristic estimate. We experimentally evaluate the potential of the proposed framework on an extensive suite of benchmark tasks.
PDDL+ Planning with Events and Linear Processes
Authors: Coles Amanda , Coles Andrew 
Published: September 2022

We present a scalable fully-automated forward-chaining planner capable of reasoning with PDDL+ events and linear processes. Processes and events model (respectively) continuous and discrete exogenous activity in the environment, occurring when certain conditions hold. We discuss the significant challenges posed in creating a planner that can reason with these, and present novel state-progression and consistency enforcing techniques that allow us to meet these challenges. We present results showing that our new planner, using PDDL+ models, is able to solve realistic expressive problems more efficiently than the state-of-the-art alternative: a compiled PDDL 2.1 representation with continuous numeric effects.
Hindsight Optimization for Probabilistic Planning with Factored Actions
Authors: Issakkimuthu Murugeswari , Fern Alan , Khardon Roni , Tadepalli Prasad , Xue Shan 
Published: September 2022

Inspired by the success of the satisfiability approach for deterministic planning, we propose a novel framework for on-line stochastic planning, by embedding the idea of hindsight optimization into a reduction to integer linear programming. In contrast to the previous work using reductions or hindsight optimization, our formulation is general purpose by working with domain specifications over factored state and action spaces, and by doing so is also scalable in principle to exponentially large action spaces. Our approach is competitive with state-of-the-art stochastic planners on challenging benchmark problems, and sometimes exceeds their performance especially in large action spaces.
