Published: November 2022

Sandy beaches are most popular tourists and fish landing sites, and serve as habitat for several endangered species. However, sandy beaches more vulnerable to coastal erosion, particularly those along open oceans. Assessment of shoreline change using reliable dataset aid in understanding the morphology of coastal landforms, the processes associated with their occurrence and support decision making. This paper analysed available multi-temporal spatial dataset and field observations using GNSS techniques to assess the shoreline change along the study area. The shoreline features were extracted from 1974 topographic map and 2005 orthophotographs using the High Water Line (HWL) in conjunction with 2020 spatial data. Shoreline change statistics were computed using DSAS. A geodatabase was created, transects were cast and the shoreline change rates computed using EPR, LRR and WLR methods. Both accretion and erosion were recorded with mean erosion rate of 0.97 m/year. It was observed that sections of the shoreline nourished by Ankobra and Amunzuri rivers were experiencing some accretion, particularly the mouth of the Amuzuri river. The estuary of Amunzuri river was found to be drifting eastwards at a rate of 5.4m/year possibly due to tides, waves and currents. The study concludes that in spite of the littoral drift eastwards, fluvial sediment supplied by coastal rivers accounts for the relative stability of shoreline in the area. Policy formulation regarding possible damming of coastal rivers by government under the ‘one district one dam’ agenda must be carefully considered to avert high levels of erosion along the western coast of Ghana.
EU Taxonomy: Mission Impossible
Authors: Kooths Stefan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The EU Taxonomy stands in sharp contrast to the principles of a market economy. It requires regulatory knowledge that cannot be expected to exist and hampers rather than stimulates entrepreneurial initiatives for coping with socially relevant scarcities. For all objectives addressed with his approach, more efficient policy instruments exist that play with and not against market forces. Apart from allocative inefficiencies, the Taxonomy-approach opens the door for all kinds of particularistic maneuvers and hidden political agendas. The Taxonomy absorbs high-skilled labor that is in high demand elsewhere in the economy and creates a massive extra bureaucratic burden without any expectable benefit for the total economy. Given the fundamental flaws in the overall concept, policy makers should stop it rather sooner than later.

Authors: Cheng Wei , Chen Xuefeng , Zhou Duan , Xiong Fengkui 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Baijiu, the national liquor of China, is produced using traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF). SSF automation during compound flavor baijiu (CFB) production can considerably reduce labor intensity and required manpower, improve the working environment, decrease costs, and increase efficiency. The approaches for SSF automation in CFB production can provide a reference for the automation of SSF in other industries. Therefore, this review compares the traditional and automated processes for jiuqu starter production, SSF, and solid-state distillation during baijiu brewing. Furthermore, specific applications of automation technology and equipment are summarized for each process. The problems and challenges associated with the automation of the process are then detailed and future development directions are proposed. Thus, this review provides an overall introduction to and insight into the developments and challenges in the automation of the CFB brewing process, helping to promote automation in the brewing of other baijiu flavor classes and SSF products.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Over the last decade, single-cell sequencing has transformed many fields. It has enabled the unbiased molecular phenotyping of even whole organisms with unprecedented cellular resolution. In the field of human genetics, where the phenotypic consequences of genetic and epigenetic alterations are of central concern, this transformative technology promises to functionally annotate every region in the human genome and all possible variants within them at a massive scale. In this review aimed at the clinicians in human genetics, we describe the current status of the field of single-cell sequencing and its role for human genetics, including how the technology works as well as how it is being applied to characterize and monitor diseases, to develop human cell atlases, and to annotate the genome.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of pure Ni and Ni–SiO2 nanocomposites coatings on corrosion, wear resistance and thermal conductivity of 316 stainless steel substrates was investigated with the purpose of extending the service life of 316 stainless steel plate heat exchangers. The nanocomposite coatings were developed by electroplating process in a Watts bath in different concentration values of SiO2 nanoparticles (10, 20 and 30 g l−1). Electrochemical corrosion was run to examine the corrosive performance of the coatings. The results showed that the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite with concentration of 30 g l−1 had a higher corrosion resistance. A pin on disk wear test demonstrated that, in comparison to 316 stainless steel, the wear resistance of the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite (30 g l−1) was up to 25% lower while its friction coefficient was almost the same. In addition, as measured via the laser flash method and differential scanning calorimetry, the thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of the sample respectively were found to be 32 and 43% lower in comparison to 316 stainless steel. Microhardness measurement via a Vickers microindenter showed that the microhardness of the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite coating was more than three times higher than that of 316 stainless steel for all the reinforcement concentrations.

Abstract
Cross sections of the 86Sr(p,3n)84mY, 86Sr(p,αn)82mRb, and 86Sr(p,x)85gSr reactions were measured from their respective thresholds up to 16.2 MeV and from 23.0 to 44.1 MeV at FZJ, and from 14.3 to 24.5 MeV at LBNL, using 96.4% enriched 86SrCO3 as target material. Thin targets prepared by sedimentation were irradiated with protons in a stacked-form, and the induced radioactivity was measured by high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry. Nuclear model calculations based on the code TALYS reproduced our experimental cross section data well. From the excitation functions, the integral yields of the above three radionuclides were calculated. The yield of 85gSr via the natSr(n,γ) process was also measured using the TRIGA Mark-II reactor at AERE, Savar. A comparison of the reactor and cyclotron production of carrier-added 85gSr is given. The production possibilities of the three investigated radionuclides in no-carrier-added forms at a 30 MeV cyclotron via new routes are discussed.
Das Schwert, der Schild und der Igel – Die Stärkung der Abschreckung im Rahmen des neuen Strategischen Konzepts der NATO
Authors: Monaghan Sean 
Published: November 2022

Kurzfassung
Auf dem NATO Gipfel von Madrid wurde nicht nur ein neues strategisches Konzept der NATO beschlossen, auch wurden Maßnahmen eingeleitet, die Abschreckung und Verteidigung stärken sollen. Das Konzept setzt den Erwartungshorizont sehr hoch an und die NATO hat eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben zu erfüllen, um den selbst gesetzten Erwartungen gerecht zu werden. Die NATO sollte die grundlegenden Lehren ihres früheren strategischen Konzeptes revitalisieren und modernisieren, mit dem sie seinerzeit erfolgreich von sowjetischen Angriffen abgeschreckt hat: das Zusammenspiel von „Schwert“, „Schild“ und „Igel.“ Das bedeutet, dass die nukleare Abschreckungsmacht der NATO gestärkt werden muss, das in eine konventionelle Vorneverteidigung zu investieren ist und dass die Fähigkeiten der östlichen Alliierten zur Abwehr und Abschreckung gegen alle Formen russischer Aggression zu verbessern sind.
Anticipatory postural adjustments mediate the changes in fear-related behaviors in individuals with chronic low back pain
Authors: Nishi Yuki , Osumi Michihiro , Morioka Shu 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objectives
The role(s) of anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) in changes in subsequent motor and postural controls in response to movement perturbations are unclear in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aimed to clarify the relationships among kinesiophobia, APAs, lumbar kinematic output, and postural control associated with lumbar movement in individuals with CLBP.

Methods
CLBP participants (n=48) and healthy controls (HCs) without CLBP (n=22) performed a bend-forward task using their lumbar region on a force platform and returned upright. Each participant’s lumbar movements were recorded using an electrogoniometer. We calculated the APA duration, the duration of lumbar direction changes from forward to backward, and the center of pressure (COP) position after lumbar movement tasks completion.

Results
Compared with the HCs, the duration of direction changes in lumbar movement and the APA duration in CLBP participants were prolonged, and the COP position was shifted forward. The mediation analysis revealed that the duration of lumbar direction changes in the CLBP group was subjected to a significant indirect effect of APAs and a direct effect of kinesiophobia, and the COP position was subjected to a significant indirect effect of kinesiophobia through APAs.

Conclusions
APAs partially mediate the relationship between kinesiophobia and changes in lumbar motor control and mediate the relationship between kinesiophobia and postural control in response to movement perturbations. These findings expand our understanding of APAs in altered subsequent movement and postural controls due to kinesiophobia in individuals with CLBP.

Feleltválasztásos vizsgatesztek eredményeit (N = 359) vetettük össze a hallgatók saját vizsga előtti és utáni becsléseivel, lineáris regressziós modellekben, kontroll változók szerepeltetése mellett.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
A gyengébb teljesítményű hallgatók hajlamosabbak saját teljesítményüket felül- és egyben pontatlanabbul értékelni. A felkészültebb hallgatók hajlamosabbak korrigálni önértékelésüket a megszerzett tapasztalatok alapján. Ezt mind a vizsgák alatt, mind két vizsga között alátámasztottuk. Mindezekben nem találtunk különbséget a nemek között.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
Eredményeink alapján mind a tesztírás maga, mind az alaposabb felkészülés csökkentette az önértékelési hibákat, ezért javasolható a tesztelés gyakoriságának növelése (évközi és/vagy próbatesztekkel).

AbstractVault RNAs (vtRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs and highly expressed in many eukaryotes. Here, we identified vtRNA2‐1 as a novel regulator of the intestinal barrier via interaction with RNA‐binding protein HuR. Intestinal mucosal tissues from patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and from mice with colitis or sepsis express increased levels of vtRNAs relative to controls. Ectopically expressed vtRNA2‐1 decreases the levels of intercellular junction (IJ) proteins claudin 1, occludin, and E‐cadherin and causes intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction in vitro, whereas vtRNA2‐1 silencing promotes barrier function. Increased vtRNA2‐1 also decreases IJs in intestinal organoid, inhibits epithelial renewal, and causes Paneth cell defects ex vivo. Elevating the levels of tissue vtRNA2‐1 in the intestinal mucosa increases the vulnerability of the gut barrier to septic stress in mice. vtRNA2‐1 interacts with HuR and prevents HuR binding to claudin 1 and occludin mRNAs, thus decreasing their translation. These results indicate that vtRNA2‐1 impairs intestinal barrier function by repressing HuR‐facilitated translation of claudin 1 and occludin.

Authors: Bogetz Jori F. , Johnston Emily E. , Thienprayoon Rachel , Patneaude Arika , Ananth Prasanna , Rosenberg Abby R. ,   Cambia Advisory Workgroup
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Children with complex chronic conditions (CCCs) and their families deserve high-quality pediatric palliative care (PPC) throughout their illness trajectory, including at end of life (EOL). Standard EOL quality measures (QM) have only recently been proposed, require surveys and/or manual chart review, and focus on children with cancer. Therefore, we aimed to develop expert-endorsed, hospital-based, primary PPC quality measures for EOL care for all children with CCCs that could be automatically abstracted from the electronic health record (EHR).

METHODS
We followed a modified Delphi approach for expert opinion gathering, including: (1) a comprehensive literature review of existing adult and pediatric measures (&gt;200 measures); (2) formation of a multidisciplinary expert panel (n = 9); (3) development of a list of candidate measures (20 measures); (4) national survey to assess each QM’s importance and abstraction feasibility and propose new measures (respondents = 95); and (5) final expert panel endorsement.

RESULTS
Seventeen EHR-abstractable QM were endorsed in 5 domains: (1) health care utilization: 4 measures (eg, &lt;2 emergency department visits in the last 30 days of life); (2) interprofessional services: 4 measures (eg, PPC in the last 30 days of life); (3) medical intensity: 5 measures (eg, death outside the ICU); (4) symptom management: 2 measures (eg, documented pain score within 24 hours of admission); and (5) communication: 2 measures (eg, code status documentation).

CONCLUSIONS
This study developed a list of EHR-abstractable, hospital-based primary PPC EOL QM, providing a foundation for quality improvement initiatives and further measure development in the future.
Second derivative Lipschitz type inequalities for an integral transform of positive operators in Hilbert spaces
Authors: Dragomir S.S. 
Published: November 2022

For a continuous and positive function w (λ), λ > 0 and µ a positive measure on (0, ∞) we consider the following integral transform
D (w, µ) (T ) := ∫0∞w (λ) (λ + T ) −1 dµ (λ) ,
where the integral is assumed to exist for T a positive operator on a complex Hilbert space H. We show among others that, if A ≥ m 1 > 0, B ≥ m 2 > 0, then
||D (w, µ) (B) − D (w, µ) (A) − D (D (w, µ)) (A) (B − A)||
≤|B − A|2×[D(w,µ)(m2)−D(w,µ)(m1)−(m2- m1)D’(w,µ)(m1)]/(m2−m1)2 if m1≠m2,
≤ D’’(w, µ)(m)/2 if m1=m2=m,
where D (D (w, µ)) is the Fréchet derivative of D (w, µ) as a function of operator and D’’(w, µ) is the second derivative of D (w, µ) as a real function.
We also prove the norm integral inequalities for power r ∈ (0, 1] and A, B ≥ m > 0,
||∫01((1−t)A+tB)r−1dt−((A+B)/2)r−1|| ≤ (1−r) (2−r) mr−3||B−A||2/24
and
||((Ar−1+Br−1 )/2) − ∫01((1−t) A+tB)r−1dt|| ≤ (1−r) (2−r) mr−3||B − A||2/12.
Global finite-element model makes a small contribution to intraplate seismic hazard estimation
Authors: Bird Peter , Liu Zhen 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Seismic-hazard estimates require merging datasets from seismology, geodesy, and geology that have different footprints, which works best when there is a global model that relates them. The rigid-plate model serves this purpose for plate-boundary hazard estimation but fails for intraplate hazard. The global thin-shell finite-element model of the lithosphere by Bird (1998) is a first attempt at a model with realistic intraplate regions. It is based on stress equilibrium and assumed flow laws for the lithosphere, incorporates topographic and geothermal variations and plate-boundary faults and predicts long-term anelastic strain rates in all plate interiors. For comparison, the historical seismic catalog JISSIG (Utsu, 1996) and the instrumental catalog CMT (Dziewonski et al., 1997) are converted to seismic strain rates in intraplate regions corresponding to the finite elements. Spatial correlations are tested between the logarithms of strain rates in order to reduce the dominance of the greatest earthquakes. The finite-element model has correlations of 0.391 with JISSIG and 0.338 with CMT, neither of which is as high as the correlation of JISSIG with CMT (0.476). This may mean that the model is defective or that intraplate seismicity contains a large fraction of aftershocks and other triggered events. If we take the CMT dataset as representative of the short-term intraplate seismicity that we might try to forecast, then multiple regression shows that this is best correlated (0.504) with a 56/44% mixture of the JISSIG and finite-element model strain rates. The contribution of the finite-element model, though small, is significant with 99.9% confidence.

To estimate the prevalence of ROP and identify risk factors and co-morbidities associated with it. This cross-sectional study was performed, enrolling all premature babies admitted to the NICU of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, A.M.U., Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh over 18 months. Various risk factors and co-morbidities for ROP were assessed using univariate and multivariate analysis. Out of the studied 164 infants, 29 infants (17.68%) developed ROP in one or both eyes; 51.72% (15/29) had stage 1, 31.03% (9/29) had stage 2, 10.35 % (3/29) had stage 3, and 6.90% (2/29) babies had aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP). On univariate analysis, we observed a significant association between ROP and gestational age, low birth weight, multiple gestations, mechanical ventilation, history and duration of oxygen supplementation, history of blood transfusion, respiratory distress syndrome, apnea and sepsis. However, after multivariate analysis, only low birth weight, oxygen therapy, respiratory distress syndrome and apnea were found to have a significant association with ROP. A prevalence of 17.68% emphasises the importance of neonatal screening in this region. Low birth weight, oxygen therapy, apnea, respiratory distress syndrome pose significant risk factors for ROP. Supplemental oxygen should be weaned off as early as possible,
