Samenvatting

Inleiding
Alternatieve behandelopties voor urineweginfecties (UWI’s) zijn nodig door toenemende antibioticaresistentie. Dit onderzoek richtte zich op de veiligheid, effectiviteit en behandelingstevredenheid van blaasspoelen met kraanwater (BSK) bij kathetergebruikers met recidiverende UWI’s.

Methode
In dit prospectieve, observationele onderzoek werden gedurende een periode van 3 maanden het aantal antibioticakuren, het aantal UWI’s en de behandelingstevredenheid van dezelfde patiënten met en zonder BSK vergeleken.

Resultaten
Bij 60 patiënten daalde het antibioticagebruik met 38,1% (IRR = 0,62; p = 0,016) en het aantal UWI’s met 37,9% (IRR = 0,62; p = 0,005). Het aantal UWI-gerelateerde ziekenhuisopnamen bleef gelijk. Een ruime meerderheid beoordeelde BSK positief voor effectiviteit (81%), gebruiksgemak (86%) en algehele tevredenheid (85%).

Conclusie
BSK vermindert bij katheterpatiënten met recidiverende UWI’s zowel het antibioticagebruik als het aantal UWI’s. Deze veilige en patiëntvriendelijke methode is eenvoudig te implementeren en bevordert duurzame zorg.
A streamlined FE method for deformation and residual stress prediction in butt welding using continuous heat input
Authors: Guan Xiaoyu , Hirohata Mikihito , Chang Kyong-Ho 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Finite element (FE) analysis is useful to estimate and predict deformation and residual stress generated by welding. To improve the efficiency of the FE analysis for the welding process, this study proposed an element combination and heat input method for simulating the butt welding process on steel with a V-shaped groove. This method integrated shell and solid elements and input heat energy continuously into the weld metal elements considering the energy distribution. Additionally, a parametric study of the double ellipsoidal model was conducted within the Continuous Distributed (CD) heat input method to identify optimal parameters for accurately simulating the heat source. The simulation results of the models using different heat input methods of deformation and residual stress were in good agreement with the experimental results, and the model using the continuously distributed heat input method saved 54% computational time compared to that by a conventional heat input method without considering the energy distribution. It was indicated that the proposed method for simulating the butt welding process was effective and could significantly reduce computational time.

Authors: Sharma Prabhakar , Mishra Ritesh Kumar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The utilization of fossil fuels for power generation results in the production of a greater quantity of pollutants and greenhouse gases, which exerts detrimental impacts on the ecosystem. A range of solar energy technologies can be employed to address forthcoming energy demands, concurrently mitigating pollution and protecting the world from global threats. This study critically reviewed all four generations of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells, focusing on fundamental concepts, material used, performance, operational principles, and cooling systems, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. The manuscript analyzes various materials, including their performance, physical properties (electronic and optical), biodegradability, availability, cost, temperature stability, degradation rate, and other parameters. The sensible engineering of effective solar devices made of cutting -edge materials along with nanostructured ternary metal sulphides, and three-dimensional graphene are also briefly discussed which are more versatile, stable, thin and light weight with high performance as compare to third generation solar cells. The impact of material alterations is delineated in PV, where the efficiency of solar cell technology has improved from 4% to 47.1%. Further the research article deals with different internal and external stress factors affecting the solar PV module performance.
Water Resources Management at Lake Tiberias and the Lower Jordan Valley in interplay with seawater desalination and hydropower generation
Authors: Klein Martin , Theobald Stephan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Lake Tiberias is Israel’s largest freshwater reservoir, located in northeastern Israel, uphill from the Jordanian Lower Jordan Valley. In view of increased water transfers to Jordan and in order to stabilize the water level of the lake, the supply of desalinated seawater from the coast to the lake is being discussed. As the lake is about 200 m below sea level, the difference in altitude could be used for hydroelectric power generation. This analysis shows that, depending on the capacity of desalination plant and the hydraulic system of the tunnel, the installed capacity of the hydropower plant would be between 9 MW and 47 MW. The magnitude of electricity that could be produced ranges between 78 GWh/a and 400 GWh/a, which corresponds to a recovery of 11–16% of the amount of electricity required by the desalination plant. Approximately 100 million m³ of water is conveyed annually from Lake Tiberias to Jordan’s King Abdullah Canal, the major supply line for potable and irrigation water in the Lower Jordan Valley. To improve transboundary water management from Lake Tiberias to the Jordan Valley, the present study demonstrates the potential feasibility of a predictive controlled operation. The water supply can be managed regarding spatial and temporal water demand, taking into account operational regulations. Bearing in mind a future increase in Israeli water supply to Jordan through a Water-Energy SWAP, the importance of optimized lake operations and coordinated water transfers will increase even more.
The Measurement of Functioning as an Outcome in Intervention Studies Targeting Intrusive Memories of Trauma: A Narrative Review
Authors: Greenfield Emily M. , Mason Oliver J. , Holmes Emily A. , Young Kerry , Moulds Michelle L. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
There has been a call for innovative, low-cost and simple treatments for people who have experienced trauma. The proposal that targeting intrusive memories could have the downstream effect of reducing other posttrauma symptoms or preventing their emergence has prompted the development of single-symptom interventions for intrusive memories, drawing on cognitive neuroscience models of memory consolidation and reconsolidation. To understand their full therapeutic impact, evaluations of the effectiveness of single-symptom interventions should include measures of broad outcomes (i.e. functioning), in addition to intrusion-related measures. This narrative review examined whether intervention studies targeting intrusive memories after real-world trauma measured functioning as an outcome, and if so, how. Twenty-five studies were included, 17 of which included a measure of functioning. Functional outcomes were not consistently measured in a rigorous or informative way. We make recommendations to address these issues and propose ways in which functioning can be effectively assessed in future work.
Environmental risks of the third re-purposing of the Haber-Bosch reaction
Authors: Duarte Carlos M. , Dennison William C. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Haber-Bosch reaction, using energy to convert nitrogen gas into ammonia, is now being repurposed, fueled by renewable energy, to produce green ammonia. Green ammonia then becomes the carrier of hydrogen energy to fuel a range of processes, including the mobility of vessels and automobiles. Yet, the massive production of ammonia produced by the Haber-Bosch reaction to yield synthetic fertilizer applied to agricultural soils resulted in a major deterioration of water quality and the proliferation of dead zones in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. The combustion of ammonia results in reactive nitrogen species, such as NOx, which is also a potent green-house gas. To ensure that the green ammonia revolution delivers the environmental benefits it is designed to provide it is essential that policy regulations to avoid leakage of ammonia and reactive nitrogen forms to the environment precede its deployment at scale. New technologies are being proposed to further convert these products into inert N2, achieving circularity in the production and use of green ammonia, which is essential to avoid unintended environmental impacts.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Every year, high salinity reduces agricultural yields by a substantial amount owing to osmotic and ionic impacts that prevent plants from absorbing the required water and promote the hyperaccumulation of ions, which enter the transpiration stream and injure plant cells. Several crops have been shown to benefit from the application of green or biogenic NPs of varying shapes, sizes, and concentrations, which are intended to protect crops against salt stress through enhanced growth metrics, seed germination and yield, improved root architecture, and defensive changes in biochemical/physiological indices. Although the underlying molecular basis of this phenomenon remains unclear, some studies have shown that exposing cells to NPs can alter the expression of several genes that generally respond to salt stress. As a result, biogenic NPs are considered viable alternative techniques for reducing the adverse effects of salinity stress on agricultural production. In the present review, keen emphasis has been placed on how biogenic NPs are helpful in decreasing the adverse effects of salinity stress on crops, which might be useful for the agriculture sector in the coming climate change era.
Enhancing antitumour immunity with photodynamic therapy
Authors: Selbo Pål Kristian , Korbelik Mladen 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this perspective, we present and discuss pre-clinical and some clinical studies demonstrating that local photodynamic therapy (PDT) per se is a treatment modality that can induce systemic anti-tumour immunity, however, the anti-tumour efficacy is strongly enhanced when PDT is combined with other treatment modalities, e.g., vaccines or ICI therapy. PDT has been recognized for over 30 years as a modality inducing strong immune effects in treated tumours. More recently, PDT has become perceived as a distinct type of immunogenic antitumor modality with an attractive potential for use as unique form of clinical cancer immunotherapy. It can be argued that PDT-inflicted tumour tissue injury provokes in situ vaccination effect. In the end of this perspective paper, we express our opinion of challenges and future directions in the field of PDT and PDT + immunotherapy.

Research on the influence of tax authority's full responsibility collection of social security fee on the contribution rate of pension insurance: evidence from China
Authors: Wu Sisi , Li Shuqi , Zeng Yi , Li Xiaolin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper uses actuarial models to analyze the impact of tax authority's full responsibility collection of social security fee on the scope for reducing the pension insurance contribution rate. The study finds that: (1) The tax authority's full responsibility for collecting social security fees can increase the pension insurance collection rate by 20.3%-25.2%; (2) If the balance of fund income and expenditure and pension treatment remain unchanged, the contribution rate can be reduced by 1.34–2.22% in 2021–2030; (3) If the state-owned shares are transferred to enrich the social security fund, the contribution rate can be reduced by 3.58–4.22% in 2021–2030, and the payment burden of enterprises can be significantly reduced. In short, if the tax authority is fully responsible for collecting social security fees, it can provide conditions for lowering the contribution rate of pension insurance, but it needs to cooperate with other policies, such as the transfer of state-owned shares to enrich the social security fund. Chinese government should gradually clarify the tax authority's responsibility for collection to reduce the contribution rate of pension insurance and stimulate the market vitality.
A usability study of a set of multidisciplinary professional standards for health professions educators within a healthcare setting
Authors: Davids Jennifer A. , Hughes Monica 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Developing the core competencies of health professions educators has resulted in various professional standards and capability frameworks. On review, we found that none of the models met the requirements of multidisciplinary health professions educators. We developed a set of Multidisciplinary Professional Standards for Health Professions Educators.

Aim
To evaluate the usability of the Multidisciplinary Professional Standards for Health Professions Educators to inform improvements in its design, and support implementation.

Methods
We held six focus groups consisting of clinician educators and education managers to conduct a qualitative study of the usability of the professional standards. Data were thematically analysed using Guba and Lincoln’s constructivist evaluation framework.

Results
The HPE professional standards provide recognition for the role of educators in healthcare settings, and guidance for managers and educators. They introduce shared expectations and standards across all health disciplines and clarify role expectations and performance. The results helped with the refinement of the document to make it more user friendly. It forefronted that much work is needed at a strategic, systemic and professional level to positively integrate and promote the professional standards for optimum usability and adoption.

Conclusions
Developing a set of Professional Standards for Multidisciplinary Health Profession Educators is a welcome step on a long road within a health service hungry for direction, support, identity and recognition for educators. However, overcoming significant challenges for implementation were acknowledged as being key to its success.
Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire Short Version (WFRQ-9): Development and Initial Validation for Disaster Scenarios
Authors: Guo Chunlan , Sim Timothy 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
The study aimed to develop and validate a short scale of family resilience for disaster scenarios. The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ-32) was adopted as the foundation for short version development.

Methods
The reliability and validity were evaluated using a sample of 1015 participants collected from a population-based cross-sectional study in Hong Kong. A confirmatory factor analysis was employed to scrutinize the factor structure of the short scale. Multivariate regression modeling was adopted to investigate the key determinants that enable families to overcome adversities and disasters.

Results
The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire Short Version (WFRQ-9) with 9 items demonstrated satisfactory measurement properties, including good explanatory power, construct validity, and high internal reliability. The WFRQ-9 presented a robust factor structure, with a 2-layer 3-factor model yielding the best fit. Proactive disaster preparedness and emergency response behaviors, and ample living space increased WFRQ-9 score. Lower education level, residence in government-subsidized housing, and having disabled family members decreased WFRQ-9 score.

Conclusions
The validated WFRQ-9 can be used to measure family resilience in interventions aimed at improving disaster resilience. Moreover, it emphasizes the significance of fostering family resilience for improved adaptation in the face of escalating disaster risks to families and communities worldwide.
THE INFERENCE OF SIMILARITY
Authors: Teo Marcus 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
English courts have long professed to apply a “presumption of similarity” when faced with inconclusive foreign law evidence. However, its precise nature and implications remain unclear. Here, I argue that no true “presumption” exists. Instead, courts should only draw an inference, that English and foreign courts would render similar rulings on the same facts, when that conclusion can be reliably drawn. Understanding the “presumption” as a reliable inference helps facilitate the accurate prediction of foreign decisions, resolves various controversies surrounding its “use” in civil proceedings and does not render the proof of foreign law unpredictable or inconvenient in practice.
A systematic review of studies using network analysis to assess dynamics of psychotic-like experiences in community samples
Authors: Misiak Błażej , Pytel Aleksandra , Stańczykiewicz Bartłomiej 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Several studies have used a network analysis to recognize the dynamics and determinants of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in community samples. Their synthesis has not been provided so far. A systematic review of studies using a network analysis to assess the dynamics of PLEs in community samples was performed. Altogether, 27 studies were included. The overall percentage ranks of centrality metrics for PLEs were 23.5% for strength (20 studies), 26.0% for betweenness (5 studies), 29.7% for closeness (6 studies), 26.9% for expected influence (7 studies), and 29.1% for bridge expected influence (3 studies). Included studies covered three topics: phenomenology of PLEs and associated symptom domains (14 studies), exposure to stress and PLEs (7 studies), and PLEs with respect to suicide-related outcomes (6 studies). Several other symptom domains were directly connected to PLEs. A total of 6 studies investigated PLEs with respect to childhood trauma (CT) history. These studies demonstrated that PLEs are directly connected to CT history (4 studies) or a cumulative measure of environmental exposures (1 study). Moreover, CT was found to moderate the association of PLEs with other symptom domains (1 study). Two studies that revealed direct connections of CT with PLEs also found potential mediating effects of cognitive biases and general psychopathology. PLEs were also directly connected to suicide-related outcomes across all studies included within this topic. The findings imply that PLEs are transdiagnostic phenomena that do not represent the most central domain of psychopathology in community samples. Their occurrence might be associated with CT and suicide risk.
Asymmetrical Ocean Carbon Responses in the Tropical Pacific Ocean to La Niña and El Niño
Authors: Sun Chaofan , Liao Enhui , Zhu Xueming 
Published: February 2025

AbstractAsymmetrical ocean carbon responses to La Niña and El Niño complicate global carbon budget estimation. Using multiple ocean CO2 data products and an advanced ocean biogeochemical model, we identified significant asymmetries in ocean carbon magnitude, spatial distribution, and duration in the tropical Pacific Ocean. La Niña enhances ocean CO2 outgassing (0.1–0.2 PgC/yr) with a broader poleward extension (15°S–15°N) for up to 3 years, while El Niño reduces outgassing (0.2–0.4 PgC/yr) with a narrower poleward extension (10°S–10°N) for up to 1 year. The air‐sea carbon flux anomaly shifts westward during La Niña and eastward during El Niño. These asymmetries are attributed to differing wind, precipitation, and ocean circulation anomalies between La Niña and El Niño. Additionally, the cumulative carbon flux remains slightly imbalanced, impacting the global ocean carbon sink balance. This study provides deeper insights into ocean carbon sink variability and highlights the need for enhanced monitoring of asymmetrical ocean carbon dynamics.

Published: February 2025

AbstractDrifting buoy observations in Hurricane Idalia (2023) are used to investigate the dependence of ocean surface wave mean square slope on wind, wave, and storm characteristics. Mean square slope has a primary dependence on wind speed that is linear at low‐to‐moderate wind speeds and approaches saturation at high wind speeds (20 m ). Inside Hurricane Idalia, buoy‐measured mean square slopes have a secondary dependence on wind‐wave alignment: at a given wind speed, slopes are higher where wind and waves are aligned compared to where wind and waves are crossing. At moderate wind speeds, differences in mean square slope between aligned and crossing conditions can vary 15%–20% relative to their mean. These changes in wave slopes may be related to the reported dependence of air‐sea drag coefficients on wind‐wave alignment.
Comparison of Cloud/Rain Band Structures Between High‐Resolution Numerical Simulation of Typhoon Lekima (2019) and FY‐4A Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager Observations
Authors: Bi Mingming , Zou Xiaolei 
Published: February 2025

AbstractHigher cloud top and stronger convection within Typhoon Lekima (2019) corresponds to lower brightness temperature (TB) from Fengyun‐4A (FY‐4A) Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) observations. In this study, an effort is made to see if all‐sky TB simulations from short‐term model forecasts by a radiative transfer model could capture observed low‐TB distributions. We employ a coupled ocean‐atmosphere Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at 3‐km resolution and the European Center for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis v5 (ERA5) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) analysis as initial conditions. Horizontal structural distributions of all‐sky TB simulations initialized by the NCEP GFS analysis better match AGRI observations than the ERA5 reanalysis, including the eyewall, moat and spiral rainband distributions of Typhoon Lekima. The cloud top pressure in most cloud areas near the center of Lekima is around 140 hPa, whereas in some rainbands far from the center is approximately 700 hPa. A high correlation in horizontal distributions of all‐sky TB simulations with relative vorticity fields during the 24‐hr period of WRF model forecasts suggests a potential relationship between dynamic and thermodynamic variables. The farther from the center of Lekima, the greater the proportion of high‐wavenumber structures within both TB and relative vorticity fields. Within the radius of maximum wind speed, the azimuthal wavenumbers 0, 1, and 2 shown in TB and relative vorticity fields have greater comparability. High wavenumber structures in relative vorticity increase with radial distance in a way faster than those in TB.
