description: Despite the increase in the prevalence of suicide in adolescents over the past decades, early identification of adolescents at risk for developing suicidal ideation (SI) has not been successful. Previous studies have investigated potential psychobiological mechanisms underlying the development of SI; nevertheless, reliable predictors of SI have still not been identified. In addition, because the majority of studies focus on clinical samples, it is not clear how SI arises in the general adolescent population. This study aimed to address these gaps by investigating multimodal predictors of SI using longitudinal data obtained from a community sample of 105 adolescents across four timepoints. Specifically, self-reported measures of psychosocial functioning, diurnal and pubertal hormone assays, DNA samples, and measures of structural and functional brain connectivity obtained in early adolescence (T1 or T2) were used to predict SI in later adolescence (T3 or T4) using cross-validated least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression analyses. Among the 24 neurobiological and psychosocial predictors, 3 functional brain connectivity metrics, 1 hormonal measure, and 2 measures of psychosocial functioning significantly predicted subsequent SI. Overall, these findings underscore the major role of neurobiological factors in the development of adolescent SI and highlight the potential uses of these biomarkers to assess suicidal risk and inform targeted early interventions designed to mitigate these risks.

description: For the full method, please see the document titled: 'Induction Of Systemic GFP Gene Silencing By Agrobacterium from the Baulcombe Archive'. Also included in this method are two videos 'How to agro infiltrate movie 1' and 'How to agro infiltrate movie 2'. Summary of method:
The seeds to be used are from Nicotiana benthamiana Line 16c. Green fluorescence is monitored with a 100 W handheld long-wave ultraviolet lamp from UV products (Black Ray model B100AP). For silencing, 2) The agrobacterium strain used for leaf infiltration is strain C58C1 (pCH32). The pCH32 plasmid carries two vir genes (vir E and vir G) and resistance to tetracycline. It also carries the silencing-inducer binary vector (which carries the construct described in 1). This plamid is under kanamycine selection. This combination of strain/ plasmid gives the best results: systemic silencing is usually achieved within 7 days after infiltration of seedlings at the 4-leaf stage (3 weeks). 3) Use the stab culture supplied as a starting material and inoculate 5 mI overnight culture (28'C for agro): -5 ml L-broth -5 µI tetracycline (5 µl/ml final) -5 µI kanamycin (50 µl/ml final) 4) Use all the 1 ml of the overnight culture to inoculate 50 ml L-broth and grow overnight: -50 ml L-broth -50 µI tetracycline (5 µglml final) -50 µI kanamycin (50 µglml final) -500µI MES (10 mM final) [optional] -I0 µI Acetosyringone (20 µM final) 5) Precipitate the bacteria and resuspend the pellet in solution containing: -10 mM MgCI2 -10 mM MES -100 µM Acetosyringone 6) Leave on the bench for 2 to 3 hours before agroinfiltration (or overnight). 7) Perform the infiltration with a 2ml syringe. Simply press the syringe (no needle) on the underside of the leaf, and exert a counter-pressure with your finger on the other side. Infiltrate the maximum number of leaves, avoid cotyledons.

description: This deliverable reflects on the activities revolving around the second round of National Engagement Events, which built upon the achievements of the initial round in 2023, and Thematic Events. These events aimed to inform key stakeholders - land managers, researchers, public authorities, and businesses - about the opportunities and support available for applying to two topics in the MissionSoil call for proposals related to the establishment of Soil Health Living Labs. The call, published on April 17, 2024, invited the stakeholders to apply for two key topics: co-creating solutions for soil health in living labs and establishing living labs in urban areas to promote healthy soils. Running from mid-April to mid-July 2024 and spanning 44 EU Member States and Associated Countries, the National Engagement Events attracted nearly 2,600 participants. These events effectively raised awareness of Mission Soil and provided crucial information about the available funding opportunities. By offering insights into proposal preparation and facilitating networking, matchmaking, and pitching opportunities, the National Engagement Events and the Thematic Eventsplayed a pivotal role in supporting the potential applicants. The organisation of the second round of events incorporated recommendations from the partners,the Executive Board, the Mission Secretariat, the European Research Executive Agency (REA), the Mission Board and applicants of the 2023 Living Lab topics based on insights from the first round.Specifically, efforts were made to better engage Northern European and Baltic countries by organising two dedicated events to connect stakeholders and potential applicants from these regions.The feedback collecte from participants will be vital for the SOILL-Startup project, which aims to build upon the legacy of NATI00NS by extending support to both applicants and the broader network of Mission Soil Living Labs and Lighthouses. The achievements of the events, combined with the established support system, underscore the growing momentum behind the Mission Soil. Stakeholders are encouraged to leverage these resources as they contribute to the advancement ofsustainable soil management across Europe and beyond. The document is made up of three main parts, which focus on the analysis of the NationalEngagement events Round #2, analysis of the Thematic Events, a synthesis with the key messages, recommendations and lessons learnt.

Biology and ecology. Despite intense sampling of caves and MSS over decades in Tenerife, all known specimens of O. hephaestos have been collected in Cueva del Viento-Sobrado, the largest lava tube in the European Union. Some individuals of this blind weevil have been recently collected in Cueva del Sobrado, on the cave floor under a large crack of the ceiling through which roots emerge and the clay from the overlying soil percolates. This seem to confirm that this species is a radicicolous edaphobiont which appears in caves accidentally, or in transit during its movements among the subterranean soil layers, such as Alonso-Zarazaga (1987) suggests. The specimens collected over last two decades are more variable in body size than those used for the description of the species, so the total length now varies from 2.80–3.56 mm (s.r.) and the maximum width of elytra from 1.16–1.44 mm.

description: When used as a mineral binder, gypsum is thermally dehydrated and mixed with water, resulting in a paste hardening in the backreaction to calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4 · 2 H2O). Although nowadays mainly hemihydrate-based (CaSO4 · ½ H2O) binders are employed, higher firing temperatures in medieval kilns yielded anhydrite II (CaSO4). Except for the discrimination of the metastable phases anhydrite III and I due to different crystal structures, variations within the production temperature range of anhydrite II (approximately 300 to 1180°C) were not analytically accessible until recently. This study describes the development of an analytical technique, which is based on steady changes of band widths in room-temperature Raman spectra of anhydrite II as a function of burning temperature. Raman microspectroscopic mapping experiments enable to pinpoint individual unreacted grains of thermal anhydrite in mortars and to discriminate them from natural anhydrites originating from the raw gypsum. The determination of band full widths at half maximum of down to 3 cm−1 and differences between them of a few tenths of wavenumbers is not a trivial task. Thus, a focus of this work is on peak fitting and strategies for correction of instrument-dependent band broadening, which is often neglected also beyond the field of mortar analysis. Including other potential influences on band widths, burning temperatures of 400 to 900°C can be retraced in high-fired medieval gypsum mortars with an uncertainty of approximately ± 50 K, as demonstrated with sample material of a stucco sculpture dated around 1400.
The Borgna-Converter: An Alternative Solution to interleaved DC/DC Converters

Year: 2019

description: In this work, a family of new and simple topologies for highly efficient, non-isolated electronic power converters is being introduced. The basic idea of this inverter family goes as follows: Two subconverters of the well-known topologies buck, boost or buck-boost are being connected in parallel, virtually forming an interleaved converter. However, compared to standard interleaved converters, there are two major differences: First, the chopper voltages of the two sub-converters are being connected with a small coupling capacitor in parallel to a small bypass switch. Second, the method of control of the power switches is different. Due to these simple modifications, zero-current / zero-voltage switching is being achieved, effectively reducing power losses and electromagnetic interferences. With a functional prototype, the authors could show that an efficiency of more than 99% can easily be achieved. Even though the basic function of these converters is dc-to-dc-conversion, by modulation of the output voltage, ac waveforms can be generated as well. This clears the way to inverters and synchronous rectifiers. Due to their superior performance, high flexibility and simplicity, the authors see high potential for these new converter topologies in a wide field of applications such as photovoltaic inverters, battery charging systems, traction drives and many more.

Oromia aguiari

description: Oromia aguiari Alonso Zarazaga, 1990
Studied material. Tenerife, Altos de Los Realejos, Palo Blanco (830 m a.s.l., UTM 28R3444-31379): 1 ♂ (Holotype), 1-XI-1985, A. Aguiar leg; 3♂, 1♀, 14-VII-2013, P. Oromí & H. López leg.; 1 ♀, 10-II-2014, P. Oromí & H. López leg.
Biology and ecology. Only two specimens of O. aguiari were previously known (Alonso-Zarazaga 1990), despite sampling efforts in different subterranean habitats of Tenerife over three decades. They were collected with pitfall traps placed in a colluvial MSS that was quite silted by soil sediments, on a steep hillside covered by a remnant of laurel forest and some scattered introduced trees (pine, cypress and chestnut). In order to obtain fresh material for genetic analysis, we set more effective MSS pitfall traps in the same spot and collected five individuals over the last four years, together with other blind edaphobiont weevils of the genus Paratorneuma. Individuals usually have their integument largely impregnated by soil particles, in some cases covering the striking complex of foveolae and ridges that characterize this species. This frequent dirt is probably acquired while crawling through the soil, confirming that O. aguiari is an edaphobiont. The specimens recently collected have a broader range of body size variation than those used for the description of the species, so the total length now varies from 2.35–3.90 mm (s.r.) and the maximum width of elytra from 1.17–1.72 mm.

description: Besides the many noises in modern medicine, there have always been various forms of silence – some of them directly related to the doctor-patient-interaction and the absence of oral communication. Narrative medicine’s focus on stories, especially stories of illness and trauma, narrated by the witnesses themselves, blurs the lines between the oral and the written, fact and fiction, and the natural sciences and the humanities. This contribution aims to initiate a discussion about the many variations of ‘storytelling’ within the context of clinical practice, especially those that are void of sound. It explores the written narratives of Tito R. Mukhopadhyay, an author diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder [ASD], and emphasizes his descriptions of voice, sound, and silence. Drawing on Ralph Savarese’s findings of postcolonial neurology and alternative embodiment, the paper analyzes how Mukhopadhyay’s life writing challenges neurotypical perceptions of the world and how it further contradicts the biomedical model of ASD. It is admittedly difficult to read his highly poetical books without wondering how they could have been written by a person with ASD and subsequently relating them to questions of credibility. By highlighting the importance of refraining from an exclusive (confining) biomedical reading, this article proposes an extension of the concept of neurodiversity to neurodiverse storytelling. Furthermore, Mukhopadhyay’s texts serve as a relevant example for a broader critical discussion about both the emphasis Narrative Medicine places upon oral communication and the widely proposed application of ‘narratological tools’ to better understand patients’ orally transmitted narratives. Eventually, this could contribute to a better understanding of the implications of illness and otherness as attributed to them by a society shaped by biomedical and neurotypical notions. The ongoing discussion about the aims, scope, and future potential of the Medical Humanities calls for a (self-)critical exam ination of established theories and methods. This objective led to the formation of Critical Medical Humanities with a strong focus on the practical capabilities of the field, not primarily on its theoretical definitions. Notwithstanding the various key elements of different streams within the field, combining the humanities and medicine with the goal of improving clinical care inevitably means balancing each discipline’s strengths and the professional expertise of participating scientists while including the individual patient’s experiences. Ultimately, this article approaches the question, which voices are heard – in the context of perceptions of health/illness, neurodiversity, and otherness as well as within the interdisciplinary dialog that forms the Medical Humanities.

description: A Critical Incident Reporting System (CIRS) collects anecdotal reports from employees, which serve as a vital source of information about incidents that could potentially harm patients. Objectives: To demonstrate how natural language processing (NLP) methods can help in retrieving valuable information from such incident data. Methods: We analyzed frequently occurring terms and sentiments as well as topics in data from the Swiss National CIRRNET database from 2006 to 2023 using NLP and BERTopic modelling. Results: We grouped the topics into 10 major themes out of which 6 are related to medication. Overall, they reflect the global trends in adverse events in healthcare (surgical errors, venous thromboembolism, falls). Additionally, we identified errors related to blood testing, COVID-19, handling patients with diabetes and pediatrics. 40-50% of the messages are written in a neutral tone, 30-40% in a negative tone. Conclusion: The analysis of CIRS messages using text analysis tools helped in getting insights into common sources of critical incidents in Swiss healthcare institutions. In future work, we want to study more closely the relations, for example between sentiment and topics.

Type species Reticulolaelaps faini Costa, 1968.
Diagnosis. The genus is characterised mainly by a well sclerotised holodorsal shield with convex dorsum and flat venter, and a large genito-ventral shield, strongly expanded posterior to coxae IV, abutting the anal shield, with six pairs of setae on the surface of the shield, with strong polygonal ornamention; pre-sternal plates fused to the sternal shield; sternal shield of the female with a notch at the middle part of anterior margin, deeply concave in posterior margin and lateral corners extended to the posterior level of coxa III, with three pairs of simple sternal setae, endopodal shields of coxae II and III fused with lateral margins of sternal shield. Anterior margin of sternal shield with a chitinous bridge joining the endopodal shields of left and right sides. Metasternal setae st 4 apparently absent but associated pores iv3 present, located at the posterior corners of lateral extensions of sternal shield; exopodal plate behind coxa IV large and triangular, not fused with peritrematal shields and genito-ventral shield; anal shield large and nearly twice as wide as long; surface of epistome faintly reticulated, its anterior margin smooth and curved; chelicera with small and robust digits. Hypostomal groove with four rows of denticles each bearing 2-5 small teeth, with two large membranous flaps originating in front of the anterior hypostomal setae (h1). All the sclerotised parts of the body are well ornamented throughout, especially the legs. Legs shorter than idiosoma, genu III (2 2/1 2/0 1) and IV (2 2/1 3/1 1) with eight and ten setae respectively. Male with sterno-genitiventral shield with ten pairs of setae, with separate anal shield similar to that of the female.
Notes on the genus. Reticulolaelaps belongs to a group of genera of Laelapidae in which the genito-ventral shield of the female is large and strongly expanded posterior to coxae IV, so that its posterior margin abuts the anal shield. The large genito-ventral shield in this genus usually captures at least six pairs of setae on the surface of the shield. The hypostome has two large membranous flaps, and the hypostomal groove has a maximum of four rows of denticles.

description: Sport watches and fitness trackers provide a feasible way of obtaining energy expenditure (EE) estimations in daily life as well as during exercise. However, today's popular wrist-worn technologies show only poor-to-moderate EE accuracy. Recently, the invention of optical heart rate measurement and the further development of accelerometers in wrist units have opened up the possibility of measuring EE. This study aimed to validate the new multisensory wristwatch Polar Vantage and its EE estimation in healthy individuals during low-to-high-intensity activities against indirect calorimetry. Overall, 30 volunteers (15 females; mean age 29.5 [SD 5.1] years; mean height 1.7 [SD 0.8] m; mean weight 67.5 [SD 8.7] kg; mean maximal oxygen uptake 53.4 [SD 6.8] mL/min·kg) performed 7 activities-ranging in intensity from sitting to playing floorball-in a semistructured indoor environment for 10 min each, with 2-min breaks in between. These activities were performed while wearing the Polar Vantage M wristwatch and the MetaMax 3B spirometer. After EE estimation, a mean (SD) of 69.1 (42.7) kcal and 71.4 (37.8) kcal per 10-min activity were reported for the MetaMax 3B and the Polar Vantage, respectively, with a strong correlation of r=0.892 (P<.001). The systematic bias was 2.3 kcal (3.3%), with 37.8 kcal limits of agreement. The lowest mean absolute percentage errors were reported during the sitting and reading activities (9.1%), and the highest error rates during household chores (31.4%). On average, 59.5% of the mean EE values obtained by the Polar Vantage were within ±20% of accuracy when compared with the MetaMax 3B. The activity intensity quantified by perceived exertion (odds ratio [OR] 2.028; P<.001) and wrist circumference (OR -1.533; P=.03) predicted 29% of the error rates within the Polar Vantage. The Polar Vantage has a statistically moderate-to-good accuracy in EE estimation that is activity dependent. During sitting and reading activities, the EE estimation is very good, whereas during nonsteady activities that require wrist and arm movement, the EE accuracy is only moderate. However, compared with other available wrist-worn EE monitors, the Polar Vantage can be recommended, as it performs among the best.

description: Supraventricular arrhythmia diagnosis using the surface electrocardiogram (sECG) is often cumbersome due to limited atrial signal quality. In some instances, use of esophageal electrocardiography (eECG) may facilitate the diagnosis. Here, we present a novel approach to reconstruct cardiac activation maps from eECG recordings. Methods: eECGs and sECGs were recorded from 19 individuals using standard acquisition tools. From the recordings, algorithms were developed to estimate the esophageal ECG catheter's position and to reconstruct high‐resolution mappings of the cardiac electric activity projected in the esophagus over time. Results: Esophageal two‐dimensional activation maps were created for five healthy individuals and 14 patients suffering from different arrhythmias. The maps are displayed as time‐dependent contour plots, which not only show voltage over time as conventional ECGs, but also the location, direction, and projected propagation speed of the cardiac depolarization wavefront in the esophagus. Representative examples of sinus rhythm, atrial flutter, and ventricular pre‐excitation are shown. Conclusion: The methodology presented in this report provides a high‐resolution view of the cardiac electric field in the esophagus. It is the first step toward a threedimensional mapping system, which shall be able to reconstruct a three‐dimensional view of the cardiac activation from recordings within the esophagus.

description: Conductive intracardiac communication (CIC) has been demonstrated as a promising concept for the synchronization of multi-chamber leadless cardiac pacemakers (LLPMs). To meet the 2–5 μ W power budget of a LLPM, highly specialized CIC-transceivers, which make optimal use of the cardiac communication channel, need to be developed. However, a detailed investigation of the optimal communication parameters for CIC-based LLPM synchronization is missing so far. This work analyzes the intracardiac communication performance of two low-power modulation techniques, namely On-Off-Keying (OOK) and Manchester-encoded baseband transmission (BB-MAN), as a function of the transmitted bit-energy. The bit error rate (BER) of a prototype dual-chamber LLPM was determined both in simulation and in-vitro experiments on porcine hearts. A BER of 1e − 4 was achieved with a median bit-energy in the range of 3-16 pJ (interquartile range: 4-15 pJ) for data rates from 75-500 kbps and a receiver input noise density of 7 nV/ √Hz . Both modulation schemes showed comparable performance, with BB-MAN having a slight bit-energy advantage (1-2 dB at 150-500 kbps) under equalized transceiver characteristics. This study demonstrates that reliable CIC-based LLPM synchronization is feasible at transmitted power levels < 10 nW under realistic channel conditions and receiver noise performance. Therefore, modulation techniques such, as BB-MAN or OOK, are preferable over recently proposed alternatives, such as pulse position modulation or conductive impulse signaling, since they can be realized with fewer hardware resources and smaller bandwidth requirements. Ultimately, a baseband communication approach might be favored over OOK, due to the more efficient cardiac signal transmission and reduced transceiver complexity.

description: Changing climate and weather patterns have resulted in reduced agricultural productivity in some parts of the world and put pressure on global food security. Availability and improved quality of meteorological information is seen as a potentially propitious means of adaptation to changing climate conditions. Forecasts of extreme weather events are especially valuable in resource-poor settings where climate-related vulnerability is high, such as for smallholder farmers in low- income countries. In this paper we provide estimates of frost warnings valuation in the context of small-scale quinoa production in the Peruvian Altiplano using a cross-disciplinary approach. We first present a detailed contextual assessment of quinoa production in the study region based on agrometeorological and socio-economic data that was obtained through a representative farm household survey conducted in December 2016. Building on this assessment, we propose a sto-chastic life-cycle model, replicating the lifetime cycle of a quinoa-producing household, in order to derive a theoretical valuation of frost warnings. Calibrating the model to our data we provide estimates of frost-warning valuation which are in the range of $30–50 per household per year, depending on the forecast accuracy and agents’ risk aversion. In a last step, using the observa-tional data from the farm household survey, we show that access to existing meteorological services is empirically associated with avoided losses in agricultural production that amount to $18 per average household and per year. Our findings point to high climate vulnerabilities of smallholders in the Peruvian Altiplano and potentially large welfare gains from incorporating improved meteorological services into their decision-making process. At the same time, we highlight that attention must also be paid to complementary non-meteorological interventions that bear the potential to leverage these welfare gains

description: Today, health research and health care generate a steadily increasing amount of data. Making these available for secondary use cases is essential for efficiency gains in health research, e.g. by reducing time-and costs-intensive acquisition of data. In this contribution, we introduce our SAHRA software platform enabling reproducible research, e.g. by combining multiple data sources, performing data de-identification, and content filtering. We define an innovative research process combining retrospective and prospective research for the first time. Thus, authorized users, e.g. clinical researchers, are able to gain access through our system relevant research data and to perform interactive analyses. As a result, existing sensitive health data is securely transformed into de-identified research data, which can be used to improve future health research.

description: Objective: This explorative study examined potential performance indicators through a correlational analysis between morphological measures and international ranking within each alpine ski event for each gender separately. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 58 elite alpine skiers were allocated into a technical or speed event group based on their international ski rankings. Several two-way (2 * 2) (M)ANOVA’s were used to examine the effect of gender and event group on age, BMI, sum of 6 skinfolds and somatotype. Forward stepwise discriminant analysis selected the most discriminating somatotype component between gender and/or event. Bivariate Pearson correlations between registered variables and international rankings per alpine ski event were examined for each gender separately. Results: Female speed specialists possessed more relative fat mass (P = 0.022) than female technical specialists. Irrespective of gender, technical specialists were lighter (P < 0.001) and had less relative fat mass than speed specialists (P = 0.008). Pearson values indicated moderate associations between speed rankings and body weight. High female speed rankings were associated with higher relative fat mass. High male speed rankings were associated with lower ectomorphy. Conclusion: Additional body weight appears to be beneficial in SPEED events. Fat mass correlated positively with higher rankings of female SPEED specialists. This observation should be monitored in female alpine skiers so that performance thresholds of relative body fat can be determined.

description: At the University of Applied Science several research projects withintegrated administrative data from the social security system have been realised. These linked administrative data sets, understood as process-generated data whose statistical use is only secondary, provide information on time periods with paid labour and social benefits from unemployment and disability insurances and social welfare on an individual level. The very nature of these data, consisting of a new body of information, the time structure of the data and the large sample size, is already a captivating feature,but gives also way for innovative ways of how to produce insights. But nonetheless,issues with data quality must be faced, particularly concerning measurement, consistency of different data sources and the covered sample. Challenges and benefits of administrative data from the Swiss social security system for social sciences will be thoroughly discussedin this paper.

Beyond Resistance: Toward a Multi-Level Perspective on Socio-Technical Inertia in Digital Transformation

description: In the wake of the discourse on Digital Transformation, the phenomenon of socio-technical inertia has caught the attention of Information Systems researchers. As a latently present theme in both practical and theoretical discourse, it is recurrently referred to as an explanation for the large share of transformation initiatives going awry. Despite its prevalence, socio-technical inertia remains an undertheorized, elusive, and ambiguous concept. Based on a structured review, we propose a sensitizing conceptualization of socio-technical inertia as a relative force and a mutual constituent of transformation. From a mechanism-based explanation, we derive an analytical multilevel perspective on the conceptualization and explore this lens in a case study. The case company has transformed its socio-technical macro regime through multiple major alterations of its workplace information technology infrastructure. We illustrate how such alterations in local fields of work contingently evoke inertia. Thereby, inertia is manifested not just as resistance to shifts in the socio-technical regime but also by mechanisms of perfunctory change, through which it undermines transformational efforts. Our findings imply the need for a new angle on inertia in future research and support an alternative managerial conception of transformation to the one currently dominating the discourse.

description: Ultra-lightweight foam-core fibreboard with 19 mm thickness was produced with a novel one-step process using resinated wood fibres for the faces and expandable polystyrene (EPS) as core layer material. The aim of the current study was to investigate the panel properties produced with different EPS bead diameter (0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 mm) and surface layer thickness (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mm). The EPS bead diameter showed a significant effect on the properties of foam-core fibreboard. The most uniform foam with the smallest cell size and highest cell density was observed in panels with smaller EPS beads, which also resulted in a remarkable increase in bending strength and edge screw withdrawal resistance (SWR) of the foam-core panels. Increasing the surface layer thickness from 1 to 5 mm significantly raised the foam-core panels’ density from 220 to 460 kg/ m3, respectively. The higher the panel density, the higher the bending properties and the face SWR. The physical properties (thickness swelling and water absorption) of foam-core panels were negatively influenced by thickening of the surface layers. In general, foam-core fibreboards made with smaller EPS beads (0.5 mm) and 3 mm surface layers (density of 340 kg/m3) showed excellent potential for furniture manufacturing due to their acceptable properties according to EN622-5/P1 while still having nearly 55% lower density compared to conventional fibreboard density (750 kg/m3).
