description: This article looks at a widespread yet erroneous use of machine translation (MT): looking up single words, thus treating MT systems as online bilingual dictionaries (ODs). After a literature review of this trend in research about MT, we consider data from a large survey that we carried out in 2021 at all Swiss universities on MT use and users’ attitudes. When analysing users’ metalinguistic awareness, we discovered that non-translators perceive the text to translate, mostly at word level, leading to the misuse of MT systems as ODs. Moreover, the survey results revealed confusion between the different digital tools for language learning, namely MT, online parallel corpora like Linguee and ODs. We therefore suggest broadening the scope of MT literacy to include training learners in general digital literacy to enable them to use such tools appropriately.

description: The full use of the forest wood potential is of major concern in Switzerland. Therefore, the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the cantons provide substantial funding for an active forest management. One key element in this context is the maintenance of an adequate forest road network. This study targets at providing orientation values about the minimum amount of forest roads to classify a certain forest as opened. Thus, guaranteeing sufficient access to the targeted wood resources. This is the basis to make the linkage with construction cost values referring geological and terrain structures on-site. In the end the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) will elaborate an according funding system underpinned by the findings of the study.

The negative effect of wood ant presence on tick abundance

description: Background: Ticks and tick-borne pathogens are a global problem for the health of humans and their livestock. Wood ants are important ecosystem engineers in forests worldwide. Although both taxa are well studied, little is known about their interactions under natural conditions. The purpose of the present field study was to test whether European red wood ants (Formica polyctena) influence the abundance of Ixodes tick populations in temperate forests. Methods: Data collection took place in 130 sampling plots located at 26 ant nest sites paired with 26 control sites in northwestern Switzerland. At each sampling plot, tick abundance, ant abundance, ant nest volume and habitat variables (describing litter, vegetation and microclimate) were measured. We used linear mixed-effect models to analyze the abundance of questing ticks as a function of ant abundance and habitat variables. Results: Ant nest volume, rather than the presence of ants, had a significant negative effect on tick abundance. The number of ticks decreased from 11.2 to 3.5 per 100 m2 if the volume of the adjacent ant nest increased from 0.1 m3 to 0.5 m3. Additionally, high vegetation cover and litter depth had negative and positive relationships with tick abundance, respectively. Conclusions: We showed that the number of questing ticks was negatively correlated with the size of red wood ant nests. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanisms that drive the relationship. Possible mechanisms include the repellent effect of ant formic acid, and the predatory behavior of wood ants. The present field study suggests that red wood ants provide a new ecosystem service by reducing the local abundance of Ixodes ticks.

description: Overview of all tissues with regard to inflammation and fatty infiltration. Inflammation in knee joint tissues (suprapatellar fat, infrapatellar fat, muscle, tendon, ligament, and menisci) was subjectively graded on the basis of the following criteria: nil = no inflammation; 1+ = occasional inflammatory cells; 2+ = few inflammatory cells; 3+ = many inflammatory cells; and 4+ = clumps or clusters of inflammatory cells. Macrophage density was calculated for inflammation in cartilage of all knee joints. Macrophage density (CD14+ cells) in all the knee joint tissues was analyzed for objective grading of inflammation (Fig. 6). Subjective grading of fatty infiltration was based on the following criteria: no fatty infiltration; minimal fatty infiltration = fatty infiltration in up to 5 % of tissue area; mild fatty infiltration = fatty infiltration in 6–25 % of tissue area; moderate fatty infiltration = fatty infiltration in 25–50 % of tissue area; and severe fatty infiltration = fatty infiltration in >50 % of tissue area. Further, the percentage of fatty infiltration was calculated (Fig. 2). (DOCX 16 kb)

description: Convenience is one of the big trends in the food business. The demand for convenience food products is steadily increasing; therefore, understanding convenience food consumption is an important issue. Despite being vital properties of convenience food, saving time and effort have not been very successful constructs for predicting convenience food consumption. To examine a wide range of possible drivers for convenience food consumption, the present study uses a convenience food frequency questionnaire that asks about consumption behavior. A paper-and-pencil questionnaire was sent out to a representative sample of people in German-speaking Switzerland and yielded N = 918 complete datasets from persons mainly responsible for buying and preparing food in the household. The various convenience food products could be categorized into four groups, which we labeled as highly processed food items, moderately processed food items, single components, and salads. Fifteen drivers were found to have a significant impact either on total convenience consumption or on one of the identified categories. Strong predictors were age, concern about naturalness, nutrition knowledge, and cooking skills. Previous article in issue

description: We posit that the well-established interaction type “tool- box” currently providing the four interaction types Instruct- ing, Conversing, Manipulating, and Exploring should be expanded to include a fifth interaction type, Responding, that accounts for user engagements in response to a sys- tem-initiated engagement request. This expansion reflects that increasingly, smart systems request input from users without having been prompted by them, which is the essence of the existing interaction types. Systems utilizing the Responding interaction type proactively seek input from users in situations where said input is required.

This is the first record of this species for Brazil (Fig. 3) and the first record of a Eumastacidae for Acre State. The examined specimen is more similar to the morphotype occurring in Bolivia, according to information provided in Descamps (1979), that presents two black marks at the level of the sub-antennal transverse sutures (Fig. 4B). The measurements of the studied specimen are shown in Table 2.

description: The dynamic-mechanical behavior of phenol-formaldehyde-impregnated beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) veneers was evaluated at various relative humidities. The aim was to identify the plasticizing effects of moisture on phenol-formaldehyde-impregnated veneers. Thin beech veneer samples were impregnated with a low and a medium molecular weight phenol- formaldehyde resin. The measurements were performed with a dynamic- mechanical thermal analysis equipped with a humidity generator. The storage modulus and the loss factor of the uncured phenol-formaldehyde- impregnated and the untreated control veneers were determined at a relative humidity of 15%, 60%, and 85% and a constant temperature of 25 °C. The untreated control veneers exhibited the smallest reduction of the normalized storage modulus. In contrast, the phenol-formaldehyde- impregnated samples exhibited a more intense relative reduction of the storage modulus with increasing relative humidity. This effect was more distinct for samples impregnated with low molecular weight phenol- formaldehyde than for those impregnated with medium molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde. In addition, higher solids contents in the resins led to even smaller normalized storage modulus. Consistently, the loss factor indicated a greater softening of the samples with an increasing humidity and higher solids content of the phenol-formaldehyde.

description: The presence of mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets and computers) in the classroom gives students the possibility of doing off-task activities during lectures. The purpose of this mixed-method field study was to learn more about students' behaviors, reasons, and opinions regarding such activities and their consequences on learning. This study is one of few to take a holistic view on this topic by taking the use of all technical devices in class into account and assessing its con-sequences on learning objectively. This is important to gain a full picture concerning the conse-quences of off-task activities in class. Right after a lecture, bachelor students (N = 125) answered a survey containing questions on their usage of mobile devices during this last class. Further-more, they took a test on the content of that lecture. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data revealed that students spent an average of more than 19% of their time using a digital device for non-class purposes. Interestingly, this was not significantly linked with learning, although many students reported being aware of this behavior's potential negative consequences. But there was a significant negative link between the number of received notifications and learning. These results suggest that external interruptions have a stronger negative effect than internal interruptions, allowing us to make better recommendations on how to use electronic devices in the classroom.

description: Sandwich panels have been widely used during recent decades. Still, their use in typical wood-based panel applications is limited due to some basic disadvantages. The production has to be done by several processing steps, the density gradient between the layers of multi-material sandwiches is very steep and direct painting of the edges is not possible. When aiming to produce sandwich panels, the wood based panel industry faces two major challenges: Reducing the density of a panel shall not cause deterioration of its mechanical properties, and products have to stay competitive despite increasing raw material and energy costs. On the other hand, the customers and furniture producers demand for weight-reduced solutionsThe development of an innovative process as presented in this paper allows the production of lightweight foam core sandwich panels in a one step process. Such process includes resource efficient material and energy usage. The panels are manufactured from a three layered mat without additional gluing between the face and core layers. The surface layers comprise of resinated wood particles and the core is formed from an expandable material. Such mat is then processed in a hot press. The press cycle is divided into three phases. The resinated particles in the surface layers are compacted and cured in the first phase. When the temperature of the thermo-sensitive core materials reaches the activation point, the press opens to the predefined distance (final thickness of the panel) to allow core expansion. At this time, the pressing distance is kept constant until the expansion is finished. With the attained experience and the know-how needed for adapting the press parameters, high quality foam core sandwich panels can be made in a one step process. Lightweight panels have been produced following the above process. Expandable microspheres (MS) and polystyrene (EPS) were used as core materials. The influence of surface thickness and core materials on mechanical and physical panel properties was investigated. In addition, FE-SEM-microscopy and gamma-ray densitometry were used to characterize the panels.

description: Computerbasierte Kunst hat sich seit der Einführung von Computergrafiken in den frühen 1970er Jahren entscheidend weiterentwickelt. In den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten erfolgte eine radikale Veränderung hin zu komplexeren Anwendungen, die unser Verständnis von technologischer Grenzziehung und von Ausstellungsstandards und -ästhetiken verändert hat. Obwohl die Bewahrung von computerbasierten Werken dem Diskurs und der Forschung zur Erhaltung von elektronischer und technologiebasierter Medienkunst viel verdankt, bedarf die Herangehensweise an computerbasierte Kunst weitergehender Untersuchungen. Die Bewahrung dieser Kunstwerke unterscheidet sich von der herkömmlichen Herangehensweise an traditionelle Medien. Eine singuläre Arbeit in unterschiedlichen Zuständen führt zu Variationen und Instanziierungen an mehreren Orten. Manchmal führt auch die Wiederherstellung eines Kunstwerks zur Entstehung einer weiteren Version. Unter diesen Bedingungen muss die Restaurierungsethik grundlegend überdacht werden. Es ist zudem nicht unüblich, dass Künstler sich nicht nur als Autor, sondern auch für die Erhaltung ihrer Arbeiten verantwortlich zeichnen.

DFT data for publication "Electronic band structure of GaN diluted and over-diluted with group V elements"

subject: Condensed matter modelling and density functional theory

description: The technology for manufacturing GaN-based devices is already very mature, but band engineering in this technology is still limited to mixing group III elements, while the incorporation of group V elements into GaN can create new possibilities in band gap engineering. In this work, we report comprehensive experimental studies of the electronic band structure for As-diluted and over-diluted GaNAs supported by computational methods based on state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) approach. These studies clearly demonstrated that the incorporation of arsenic into GaN modifies the valence band, while the conduction band remains undisturbed up to 8% arsenic content. For the first time, As-related changes in the valence band are studied with high resolution in electron photoemission spectroscopy. As-related narrowing of the energy gap is also detected in the absorption spectra. These experimental observations are very consistent with the calculations of the electronic band structure for GaNAs, and therefore the same DFT approach was used to calculate the electronic band structure for GaN diluted and over-diluted with the remaining group V elements, i.e. GaNP, GaNSb, and GaNBi. In this case, it is also clearly visible that adding P, Sb or Bi to GaN modifies the valence band, while the conduction band remains undisturbed when the V group concentration does not exceed 5%.

description: TITLE: FOOD AND LIFESTYLE IMPACT ON THE EXHALED BREATH VOCs IN PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES

CONTENTS:

Background and objectives:

Exhaled breath contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can instantly give insight into some metabolic pathways – e.g., macronutrients digestion. Also, there are indices that physical activity rate and other lifestyle factors (e.g., environment, tobacco, and alcohol consumption) impact certain breath VOCs levels (i.e., isoprene and acetone). Usually, breath analysis is done by gas chromatography, which is not suitable for the in-field work, and it consumes a lot of time for the analysis. This research employs a portable, fast, low-cost membrane-inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS) for the monitoring of the selected breath VOCs with the aim of assessing the food and lifestyle impact.

 

Methods:

44 adult healthy professional athletes from Greece and Portugal donated their exhaled breath samples, with informed consent. Each participant provided a sample before meal (after 12h food restraint), and about 120 min after the meal. Approximately half of the athletes were in a steady state between the first and the second sampling, while the other half performed their regular training in duration of approximately 120 min between two samplings. All participants filed out questionnaires about their lifestyles.

MIMS instrument was used for the samples analysis. Four characteristic VOC mass fragments were monitored – m/z 58 for acetone, m/z 42 for n-pentane, m/z 45 for ethanol and m/z 67 for isoprene.  

 

Results and Discussion:

Selected exhaled breath VOCs were quantified in samples before and after the meal. Obtained basal VOCs levels were ranked in expected order of magnitude. Food impact was expressed by calculating the change upon meal consumption. Additionally, data collected via questionnaire were compared against obtained VOC levels, and some relationships between participants characteristics and lifestyle habits and breath VOCs were evaluated.

description: Mountain forests fulfill an important protective effect being the reduction of risk due to natural hazards. Knowing the value of this service is required to efficiently allocate financial resources in protection forest and risk management. In this chapter, we evaluate the protective effect of forests against rockfall at local and regional scale using a risk-based approach. We present a method to quantify rockfall risk under current forest conditions for a case study region along the Gotthard highway (Switzerland). Rockfall runout zones and relative requencies were determined based on the energy line principle and occurrence frequencies were estimated based on inventory data. We quantified the protective effect of the current forest using a statistical approach and calculated the potential risk without forest. The risk reduction provided by the forest varies between 23 and 60% or 400 and 4500 CHF/(year.ha−1). In a second step, we evaluated a single protection forest complex calculating its Net Present Value (NPV) for a time frame of 100 years based on the risk reduction and compared it to technical protection measures. The NPV of the current forest is positive, whereas protection measure variants including rockfall nets have a highly negative NPV. The results evidence the efficient riskreduction of rockfall protection forests. The presented methods allow for a differentiated procedure for protection forest planning at local and regional scale. A simple risk approach requiring a manageable data set enables practitioners to prioritize forest management. A more detailed economic analysis of protection forest efficiency finally facilitates the planning of protection forest measures at local scale.

Remarks. Morphology: These three unidentified specimens studied here, two adult females and one female nymph, are, overall, very similar to the female described herein as P. personata, and differentiated by the following characters: frons without a central sub-circular yellow plate (Fig. 4E). Costal area of tegmen approximately half the width of subcostal area. Rs with or without bifurcation in the ¼ distal. Bifurcation of Ma in the ¼ distal located a little beyond the bifurcation of Rs when present. Cu1 and Cu2 as in P. personata or Cu1 fused to A1 a little beyond the median region, and Cu2 ending a little before the union between Cu1 and A1 (Figs. 4C and D). Outer margins of the dorsal valves of ovipositor with 13-14 distinct teeth, and outer margins of the ventral vales of ovipositor with 10-12 distinct teeth, including the apical ones.
Although alar venation of tegmina has been briefly described here, it should be noted that variations do occurs, even between right and left tegmina intraspecifically. The measurements of the adult specimens studied here are shown in Table 2.
Taxonomy: While sympatric and morphologically very similar to the female of P. personata described here, it is unlikely that this unidentified species represent a variation of P. personata. Instead, these specimens could belong to P. imitatrix, which still does not have a correlated female. Curiously, the type locality of P. imitatrix is Olivença (currently São Paulo de Olivença), and the locality where these three specimens were collected is Tabatinga, both neighboring cities in western Amazonas State bordering Colombia.
Descamps (1970) highlighted the strong similarity between males of P. personata and P. imitatrix, indicating the possibility that females may also be morphologically similar. However, by the absence of male and female specimens collected together in a same locality, a more precise identification for these studied specimens cannot be provided.

description: Malnutrition has been defined as a “state resulting from lack of uptake or intake of nutrition, leading to altered body composition and body cell mass, as well as to diminished physical and mental function and impaired clinical outcome from disease.” Particularly for the multimorbid medical inpatient, there are multiple research studies linking malnutrition to adverse clinical outcomes independent of type of acute and chronic illnesses. Importantly, recent trials have shown that malnutrition is indeed a modifiable risk factor with specific individualised nutritional support interventions started at hospital admission having positive effects on the risk of complications, mortality, functional outcomes, rehospitalisation and quality of life. Understanding the optimal use of nutritional support in patients with acute illness is complex – as timing, route of delivery, and the amount and type of nutrients can all affect patient outcome. The aim of this narrative review is to provide a practical guideline for pragmatic and evidence-based assessment and treatment of medical inpatients at nutritional risk. We thereby focus on screening, patient assessment, definition of individual nutritional goals and nutritional support interventions that help patients to reach these goals.
