description: Background Women with BRCA1/2 mutations have a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer compared to women of the general population. Various preventive options are available to deal with the increased risk of developing cancer. These include intensified breast cancer screening and risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. The choice of a preventive option can lead to increased decisional conflict. To support these women in their decision-making process, two evidence-based decision aids were developed in an upstream research process and adapted to the German healthcare context. These will be evaluated within a randomised controlled trial (RCT) in terms of their effects on decision-making, women’s level of information and psychological outcome variables. Methods A sample of 310 women carrying BRCA1/2 mutations (A) without a history of cancer or (B) with a history of unilateral breast cancer who have received post-test genetic counselling will be enrolled. Upon study consent, women will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. All participants will receive standard care including a physician’s letter summarising the counselling content. After baseline data collection (t0), the intervention group receives the respective decision aid while the control group receives standard care only. The primary outcome variable assessed at a 3-month follow-up (t1) is the change of extent in decisional conflict (measured with the Decisional Conflict Scale). Secondary outcome variables comprise the stage of decision-making, self-reported symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress due to the genetic test result, and knowledge regarding cancer risks and preventive options. At t1, the extent of preparation for decision-making and acceptability of the decision aids will also be examined. Another secondary outcome variable assessed at 6-month follow-up (t2) is the extent of decision regret. Discussion These will be the first decision aids available for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in Germany to be evaluated regarding their effectiveness and acceptability in clinical use within an RCT. Subsequently, they are to be integrated into the care concept of the centres of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and the affiliated breast centres.

description: A method is presented which aims to bridge the gap between overly simplified momentum-based wake models and overly demanding finite volume models of wind turbine wake evolution. The method has been developed to allow an essentially user-defined resolution of the wake. Beyond this, all dominant field quantities are automatically resolved by the solver including convection velocity, shear stress and turbulence intensity. Two distinct methods of solution are presented which both have strengths and weaknesses, the choice of which model being fidelity and application dependent. Both methods make use of multilevel spatial integration to allow greatly improved computational efficiency. The method is here presented for 2D flow in the symmetry plane of a vertical axis wind turbine as an initial demonstration of the potential of the method.

description: The ongoing pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has led to more than 445 million infections and the underlying disease, COVID-19, resulted in more than 6 million deaths worldwide. The scientific world is already predicting future zoonotic diseases. Hence, rapid response systems are needed to tackle future epidemics and pandemics. Here, we present the use of eukaryotic cell-free systems for the rapid response to novel zoonotic diseases represented by SARS-CoV-2. Non-structural, structural and accessory proteins encoded by SARS-CoV-2 were synthesized by cell-free protein synthesis in a fast and efficient manner. The inhibitory effect of the non-structural protein 1 on protein synthesis could be shown in vitro. Structural proteins were quantitatively detected by commercial antibodies, therefore facilitating cell-free systems for the validation of available antibodies. The cytotoxic envelope protein was characterized in electrophysiological planar lipid bilayer measurements. Hence, our study demonstrates the potential of eukaryotic cell-free systems as a rapid response mechanism for the synthesis, functional characterization and antibody validation against a viral pathogen.

description: In this work, a new method for selecting suitable materials is presented. This method has a high potential for a variety of engineering applications, such as the design of sound-absorbing and vibration-loaded structures, where a large number of different requirements have to be met. The method is based on the derivation of functional dependencies of selected material parameters. These dependencies can be used in parameter studies to consider parameter combinations that lie in the range of real existing and targeted material groups. This allows the parameter space to be reduced, the calculation to be accelerated, and suitable materials to be (pre-)selected for the respective application, which contributes to a more target-oriented design. The method is applied to the example of a plate resonator. For this purpose, a semi-analytical model is implemented to calculate the transmission loss as well as the reflected and dissipated sound power of plate silencers, taking into account the influence of flow velocity and fluid temperature on the performance of plate silencers.

description: The development within the offshore wind sector towards more powerful turbines combined with increasing water depth for new wind parks is challenging both the designer as well as the manufacturer of bottom fixed support structures. Besides XL-monopiles, the market developed an innovative and economic jacket support structure which is based on automatically manufactured tubular joints combined with standardized pipes. Besides the improvements for a serial manufacturing process the automatically welded tubular joints show a great potential in terms of fatigue resistance e.g. due to a smooth weld geometry without sharp notches. However, these benefits are not considered yet within the fatigue design process of automatically manufactured jacket substructures according to current standards due to the lack of suitable S-N curves. Therefore, 32 axial fatigue tests on single and double-sided automatically welded tubular X-joints have been performed to determine a new hot spot stress related S-N curve. Based on these constant amplitude fatigue tests a new S-N curve equal to a FAT 126 curve was computed which implicitly includes the benefits of the automatically welding procedure.

description: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer desire peer support and require support programs that address their unique needs. This study investigated the need for, and barriers to, peer support and preferences for digital peer navigation among AYA. A cross-sectional survey was administered to AYA, diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15–39, at a cancer center and through social media. Descriptive summary statistics were calculated. Participants (n = 436) were on average 31.2 years (SD = 6.3), 3.3 years since-diagnosis (SD = 3.8), and 65% (n = 218) were women. Over three-quaters (n = 291, 76.6%) desired peer support from cancer peers, but 41.4% (n = 157) had not accessed peer support. Main access barriers were: Inconvenience of in-person support groups (n = 284, 76.1%), finding AYA with whom they could relate (n = 268, 72.4%), and finding AYA-specific support programs (n = 261, 70.4%). Eighty-two percent (n = 310) desired support from a peer navigator through a digital app, and 63% (n = 231) were interested in being a peer navigator. Participants indicated a greater need for emotional (n = 329, 90.1%) and informational support (n = 326, 89.1%) than companionship (n = 284, 78.0%) or practical support (n = 269, 73.6%) from a peer navigator. Foremost peer matching characteristics were cancer-type (n = 329, 88.4%), specific concerns (n = 317, 86.1%), and age-at-diagnosis (n = 316, 86.1%). A digital peer navigation program was desired by over 80% of a large Canadian sample of AYA and could potentially overcome the barriers AYA experience in accessing peer support. The design of a peer navigation program for AYA should consider the matching characteristics and multidimensional support needs of AYA.

description: Fear of childbirth affects as many as 20% of pregnant people, and has been associated with pregnancy termination, prolonged labour, increased risk of emergency and elective caesarean delivery, poor maternal mental health, and poor maternal-infant bonding. Currently available measures of fear of childbirth fail to fully capture pregnant people’s childbirth-related fears. The purpose of this research was to develop a new measure of fear of childbirth (the Childbirth Fear Questionnaire; CFQ) that would address the limitations of existing measures. The CFQ’s psychometric properties were evaluated through two studies. Participants for Study 1 were 643 pregnant people residing in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with a mean age of 29.0 (SD = 5.1) years, and 881 pregnant people residing in Canada, with a mean age of 32.9 (SD = 4.3) years for Study 2. In both studies, participants completed a set of questionnaires, including the CFQ, via an online survey. Exploratory factor analysis in Study 1 resulted in a 40-item, 9-factor scale, which was well supported in Study 2. Both studies provided evidence of high internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity. Study 1 also provided evidence that the CFQ detects group differences between pregnant people across mode of delivery preference and parity. Study 2 added to findings from Study 1 by providing evidence for the dimensional structure of the construct of fear of childbirth, and measurement invariance across parity groups (i.e., the measurement model of the CFQ was generalizable across parity groups). Estimates of the psychometric properties of the CFQ across the two studies provided evidence that the CFQ is psychometrically sound, and currently the most comprehensive measure of fear of childbirth available. The CFQ covers a broad range of domains of fear of childbirth and can serve to identify specific fear domains to be targeted in treatment.
A novel systemic framing of the Urban Heat Islands phenomenon
Creators: name: Casagrande, Elisa
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The joint action of climate change, heatwaves and the urban heat island phenomenon (UHI) is responsible for the modification of urban climates. As we approach even the lowest of predicted climate change warming scenarios, 1.5°C global warming, the effects of UHIs and heatwaves in cities is predicted to significantly worsen. As heatwaves become more common and intense, our need to understand UHIs as localised urban phenomena and how they affect the full array of social, economic and environmental systems in cities becomes ever more important. However, most UHI studies focus on only a limited set of parameters, typically from a single or a limited set of disciplines. This lack of focus on the problem as a whole leaves our ability to understand and adapt to and/or mitigate UHIs severely limited. To address this problem, this study proposes a novel framing of the phenomenon under the lens of ‘systems thinking’ to represent how the urban heat island phenomenon interplays with urban systems. The representation of UHI through this proposed knowledge framework facilitates understanding of the complex multifaceted cross-system feedbacks and trade-offs. This then allows the identification and the systemic evaluation of adaptation and abatement measures.

description: Determining the gravity reference point in the form of the absolute gravity acceleration value is necessary for education and research purposes. Department of Physics, Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK), has had the Scintrex CG-5 gravimetersince 2013 and should have had one absolute gravity point around the campus. A new gravity reference point was made at the Tugu Field (Lapangan Tugu) USK, which was derived from the gravity reference point BMKG Mata Ie with an absolute gravity value of 978102.87 mGal. First, we measured the relative difference in gravity’s value between the two points using the Scintrex CG-5 gravimeter. The difference of gravity value at the Tugu Field with BMKG Mata Ie is 23.8356 mGal smaller so that the absolute gravity value is 978079.01 mGal. The result is consistent with the geological data where the rocks around BMKG Mata Ie are metamorphic rocks that began to form in the late Jurassic, while the strata at the Tugu Field consist of young alluvium in the Holocene epoch which has a lower rock density. To verify the absolute gravity value, it is compared with the gravity value obtained from the satellite TOPEX. Data from these satellites is around 978140.15 mGal with a difference of 61.14 mGal.

description: The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to address environmental sustainability exemplifies the current need for innovative data collection and community involvement. At the same time, the citizen science movement fosters voluntary participation to democratize science. However, access to robust training and large-scale deployment remains limited. This study proposes the SKILIKET system, a flexible training tech kit that monitors environmental variables in real time using IoT capabilities and a citizen science approach. The initiative seeks to foster participants' technical and civic competencies, using the system to help them understand socio-ecological phenomena. Drawing on Design-Based Research methodology, the authors describe co-creation activities that will be further conducted with higher education student teams to develop the ideal use of the system. This first stage (experimental design) anticipates the expected system interactions in a controlled environment, where students are encouraged to actively collect data from their immediate environment. This engagement aims to nurture a deeper understanding of socio-environmental issues, enhance public awareness, and support data-driven decision-making and public policy development. SKILIKET incorporates educational objectives and promotes civic skills, data literacy, and community-oriented problem-solving. This paper discusses the initial design, implementation strategies, and expected educational and societal impact of SKILIKET, highlighting its dual role in environmental monitoring and educational enhancement to achieve the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

description: Students with visual impairments face unique challenges that extend beyond academic limitations to include significant barriers in physical education (PE). This study examines the prevalence of common eye disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, and strabismus in university students, and investigates adaptive strategies for their effective inclusion in PE programs. A comprehensive cohort of 175 students with ophthalmologically diagnosed vision problems was analyzed. The study assessed physical performance, social participation, psychological impact, and educator preparedness. Data gathered through ophthalmic screenings, fitness assessments, and surveys suggest that tailored interventions, environmental modifications, and educator training dramatically improve student engagement, safety, and outcomes in PE. The findings support a multidisciplinary, inclusive approach to PE that promotes equity, well-being, and academic integration for visually impaired students.

description: Blockchain is an emerging technology that has the potential to revolutionize the global industry and create a trusted relationship in a multi-party business network. While there are several practical use cases where Blockchain has been applied, one specific area is the Art industry, where it is a natural fit in the way art forensics and transactions are conducted, tracked, and recorded. Estimating the worldwide annual art trade at $200 billion, about 3% ($6 billion) is attributed to illicit cultural property, ranging from counterfeit and forgeries to smuggled goods and outright theft. With the help of Blockchain, there is a high possibility to neutralize the threats in lost revenue globally. As a result, I propose several models on high-value commodities to solve privacy-related issues based on provenance information. In addition, there is a trend in Open APIs and data sharing to provide better and innovative financial services. Data regulations aim to improve consumers’ privacy and control over their data. However, it still confronts the challenges of properly managing and protecting users’ privacy in an open data sharing paradigm. I propose a provenance-provided data sharing model and an automated consent management model via Blockchain to meet open banking requirements. Employing the Proof of Authority consensus mechanism to balance the business flexibility and efficiency with client privacy control. In my future work, I plan to focus my research on detecting vulnerabilities in smart contracts. Firstly, I will conclude all smart contract vulnerabilities. And try to find common malicious patterns in smart contracts to detect vulnerabilities.

description: The one-to-one, face-to-face writing conference has long been hailed a godsend for struggling writers. The traditional IRL ("in real life") tutorial takes many shapes: (professor and student in office, tutor and student in library, tutor and student in writing center, etc.). When this writing conference moves into the MOO (Multi-User Domain, Object-Oriented), how does the environment affect student-tutor interaction? More specifically, what sorts of adjustments from the "normal" writing conference must be made in order for an effective conversation to occur in the synchronous OWL?

This project brings the one-to-one writing tutorial to distance learning students at Old Dominion University through LinguaMOO. Students in a 300-level Introduction to Rhetoric course participate in writing conferences for various assignments. The conferences with these students (fifteen total) are logged and subsequently archived for review. In studying the transcripts, several conventions of the traditional writing conference appear out of place within the context of a synchronous online tutorial. This project seeks to describe the online synchronous writing conference with respect to traditional writing center theory through the analysis and coding of a series of the conference transcripts.

description: Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) of megavolt per meter field strengths can interact with subcellular structures [1] and consequently trigger a variety of biological events. The exposure can induce apoptosis, as well as an array of differential "sub-lethal effects." One of the most sensitive and immediate responses is the increase in intracellular calcium concentration in pulsed cells [2], [3][4].We investigated the response of Jurkat cells (a human leukemic cell line) to nsPEFs of 60 ns duration and field strengths from 25 tol00 kV/cm. The development of the induced calcium response in individual cells was studied by spinning-disc confocal microscopy with the calcium indicator Fluo-4. The fast imaging rate of this system allowed us to record the development of fluorescence changes representing calcium mobilization with a temporal resolution of 5 ms exposure every 18 ms. Pulse-induced calcium release is electric field-dependent with the fluorescent response increasing as the electric field strength is raised from 25 to 100 kV /cm. The presence of extracellular calcium affected the calcium response of cells pulsed at 100 kV/cm, but there was no statistically significant difference at 25 and 50 kV /cm between cells pulsed in its presence or absence. The 18 ms temporal response was fast enough to resolve the spontaneous physiological response in non-pulsed cells, but not the response to pulses of 50 kV /cm and 100 kV /cm amplitude.

Whereas the temporal and spatial resolution in previous studies was not sufficient to observe the source of calcium after pulsing, results in this research suggest that the calcium signal originates from the endoplasmic reticulum. The effects of a second pulse were observed to investigate whether the stores could recover between pulses. The results show a second calcium response equivalent to or less than the magnitude of the first response upon applications of pulses with the same field strengths.

description: A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate intraoperative and patient outcomes following simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SB-PCNL). Target stone characteristics, operative time, hospitalization length, post-operative complications, blood loss, opioid use, pain, and stone-free rates were evaluated. In total, 42 patients with large renal stones (>20 mm²) were identified for this study, and 38% of them achieved stone-free status with no residual fragments apparent on post-operative day one CT imaging. The maximum mean residual fragment size was 3.67 mm² and average number of residual fragments following the procedures was 1.63. The rates of blood loss, post-operative complications, opioid use, and pain from the study cohort were similar to the reported outcomes of studies conducted by others. The potential benefits of a single procedure and anesthesia to treat bilateral stone burdens, lower total pain medication prescribed, and lower hospital costs render SB-PCNL as an attractive option in the treatment of bilateral kidney stones.

description: Quality control of car body paint in the automotive industry is a promising industrial application of terahertz technology. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in reflection geometry enables accurate, fast, and nondestructive measurement of individual layer thicknesses of multi-layer coatings. For high precision thickness measurements, the frequency dependent complex refractive index of all layers must be calibrated very accurately. THz time-domain ellipsometry is self-referencing and provides reliable, frequency resolved material properties with high signal-to-noise ratio. The method is characterized by a high sensitivity to optical material properties and layer thicknesses. We present characterization results in the frequency range 0.1–6 THz for typical automotive paints and different substrates such as polypropylene (PP), which features a high material anisotropy. We demonstrate that the broadband material properties derived from ellipsometry allow for inline thickness measurements of multi-layer car body paints with high accuracy.
Intermittency of many-particle dispersion in anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

description: Intermittent deviation from average dispersion curves reveals differences between the dynamics of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and hydrodynamic turbulence. Turbulent dispersion is typically measured by the average separation of a group of Lagrangian tracer particles from each other as the particles move in a turbulent flow. On average, the particles will increase their separation as time evolves. However, due to the intermittent nature of turbulence, radical deviations from this behavior can be observed when considering individual groups of particles. When the group consists only of two particles, those two particles sometimes can move toward each other for short periods of time, decreasing their separation. When the group consists instead of many particles that are initially densely packed, similar results can be obtained using the convex hull of the group of particles. We examine this intermittency of many-particle dispersion in incompressible isotropic hydrodynamic turbulence, incompressible isotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, and incompressible anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We interpret periods of decreasing separation physically in terms of anisotropic dispersion due to a large-scale static magnetic field, interactions with local magnetic fields and current sheets, and interactions with Alfvénic fluctuations.

Principle of Logical Unicity

description: We propose a universal ethical framework for artificial intelligence (AI) systems, grounded in the Pure Time Theory (PTT) and structured around the Principle of Logical Unicity (PLU). Unlike traditional ethics that rely on cultural norms or heuristic trade-offs, this framework derives its coherence from a single generative source — the temporal field that governs all emergence and synchronization. The model introduces four non-compensable axioms for ethical evaluation, applicable to both human-guided and fully autonomous systems. In critical autonomous scenarios, a fifth evaluative criterion — Projected Resonance Potential (A5) — ensures coherent arbitration when no option fully satisfies the core axioms. The framework has been tested with multiple large-scale language models, which demonstrated spontaneous convergence toward its structure. This approach represents a shift from value imposition to structural discernment, offering a transparent, reproducible, and ontologically grounded solution for AI alignment
