description: The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns had a substantial impact on mental health. Distress and fatigue are highly correlated. However, little is known about the determinants of fatigue in the general population during the pandemic. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and predictors of fatigue during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK population. Online surveys were completed by a UK community cohort in April 2020 (wave 1), July-September 2020 (wave 2) and November-December 2020 (wave 3). In total, 3097 participants completed the wave 1 survey, and 1385 and 1087 participants (85.4% women) completed wave 2 and 3 surveys respectively. Fatigue was assessed using the Chalder Fatigue Scale at waves 2 and 3. Hair samples were provided by 827 participants (90.6% women) at wave 1 and wave 2, which were analyzed to indicate HairE (stress hormone). The mean total fatigue score during wave 2 was 14.7 (SD = 4.7), significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels observed in the community (mean difference 0.50, p = .003). At wave 2, 614 (44.3%) participants met the case definition for fatigue, only 15.6% of whom indicated that fatigue lasted for more than 6 months (suggesting it had started prior to the pandemic). Predictors of fatigue at wave 3 included being in a risk group, depression and belief in having COVID-19, which explained 23.8% of the variability in fatigue scores. Depression at wave 1 was the only significant predictor of remaining a fatigue case at wave 3. Fatigue was highly prevalent in the UK community during the COVID-19 pandemic and limited people’s daily function. Depression and sociodemographic variables were significant predictors of fatigue. Fatigue levels between July-December 2020 were higher compared to pre-pandemic levels.Predictors of fatigue levels 7-8 months later included being a clinical risk group, depression and belief in having had COVID-19.HairE was not associated with fatigue.Depression was the only significant predictor of remaining a fatigue case. Fatigue levels between July-December 2020 were higher compared to pre-pandemic levels. Predictors of fatigue levels 7-8 months later included being a clinical risk group, depression and belief in having had COVID-19. HairE was not associated with fatigue. Depression was the only significant predictor of remaining a fatigue case.

description: Study Registration Clinical Trial. A Randomized Controlled Experiment (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06536530)

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to analyse the changes derived from exergames (videogames that include cognitive and physical stimulation simultaneously), in terms of cognitive functioning, psychomotor abilities, and its neural substrate, in adults suffering from depression.

Detailed Description:

The experiment will consist in a randomized three-arms controlled study. After being informed about the study and potential risks, and given written informed consent, adult participants with depression will be randomly distributed into three experimental groups: an intervention group that will train with exergames, an active control group that will train only with cognitive games, and a passive control group or wait-list.

Cognitive Functions will be evaluated in three different moments: before the training intervention, after the intervention, and three months after finishing the training intervention.

Researchers will collect cognitive-behavioral and neural information (event-related potentials), and performing analysis of variance to compare the outcomes of the diverse groups at the three different time points, scientists will analyse the benefits of exergames on cognition.

description: Mindfulness-based interventions have become a popular means to reduce stress. However, the specific mechanisms driving observed stress reduction remain understudied. The Monitor and Acceptance Theory suggests that the cultivation of monitoring and acceptance skills are necessary moderators of practice-induced stress reduction. In the context of the ReSource Project, a large healthy adult sample underwent three 3-month mental training modules targeting either attentional (Presence module), socio-affective (Affect module) or socio-cognitive skills (Perspective module). In the current study, the development of a range of inter-individual differences in mindfulness-, interoception- and compassion-related traits - which mapped to either monitoring or acceptance categories - was tracked. The relationship of these training-induced changes with cortisol stress reactivity after the three distinct 3-month training modules was explored. We found that stress sensitivity was particularly modulated by a differential adaptivity of one cultivated attentional capacity - Attention regulation - which predicted higher cortisol reactivity after mere attention training (Presence) but was associated with lower stress-induced cortisol release after additional socio-affective and socio-cognitive practice (Affect and Perspective). However, this effect did not survive multiple comparisons correction, and analyses were limited by the sample size available. We conclude that our study provides preliminary support of the Monitor and Acceptance Theory, lending weight to the advantage of primary attentional increases in order to fully harness the beneficial effects of socio-affective training, ultimately leading to stress reduction. Although training-induced increases in acceptance were not directly shown to contribute to lowering cortisol stress reactivity, the data suggest an additional benefit of socio-affective and socio-cognitive training that is not directly captured within the current analyses. Our study corroborates the importance of going beyond the training of attention monitoring to foster stress resilience, and highlights that mental training relies on the co-development of several interacting processes to successfully attenuate stress. Further exploring the overarching concept of acceptance in future research may prove beneficial to the theoretical framework of MAT, and in understanding the processes by which stress reduction occurs.

description: Objectives Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) was developed to facilitate easier treatment and better outcomes for cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the parental burden and possible intercultural differences of this treatment modality, which is often argued to burden parents to an extraordinary amount. Materials and methods Standardized questionnaires (available in English, Mandarin, and German) with 15 non-specific and 14 NAM-specific items to be retrospectively answered by Likert scales by parents of unilateral CLP patients with completed NAM treatment. Results The parents of 117 patients from two treatment centers in Taiwan and Germany were included. A very high level of overall satisfaction was found in both countries with significant intercultural differences in prenatal parent information, feeding problems, dealing with 3rd party's perception, and experienced personal effort. Conclusion NAM is an effective treatment tool for children's CLP deformities and their caregivers in overcoming the feeling of helplessness. Intercultural differences may be due to infrastructural reasons, cultural attitudes and habits, or different public medical education.

description:   The wave dynamics within a rotating detonation engine were investigated using a combustor where the fuel injector was varied continuously relative to the oxidizer throat. Both natural gas and a hydrocarbon fuel blend containing the major components of a "cracked" kerosene fuel were characterized using high speed imaging, pressure sensors, and photomultiplier tubes. Major detonation features were visualized with high-speed cameras through a 360 optical outerbody. The detonation region, oblique shock, contact surface where fresh reactants mixed with products of a previous wave, and burning above the fuel injectors in a stratified zone beneath the detonation wave were studied as fuel conditions and fuel injector position were changed. As the inner body of the engine was translated away from the oxidizer throat, or started at a position far from the oxidizer throat, the combustor was not able to support coherent detonation behavior. At these points, the region of highest heat release remained close to the fuel injectors, and there was very little heat release processed behind the front edge of the wave compared to the level of deflagrative combustion occurring inside the chamber. The surrogate hydrocarbon blend is more representative of a composition that high speed vehicles would use, so the operability limits of the fuel and the fuel with nitrogen dilution were characterized using a metal and an optical outerbody on the combustor. With a larger amount of ethylene in the fuel composition compared to the amount of methane, the chamber tended towards slower waves and higher wave modes, and the combustor was able to sustain a coherent detonative mode with up to 40% nitrogen. When all chosen fuel blend components were present in the fuel except ethane, the combustion kinetics of the fuel was slowed significantly, and there was a measured decrease in thrust. No fuel tested was able to support coherent detonative modes with 50% nitrogen in the oxidizer.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between fetal exposure to maternal prenatal stressors and infant parasympathetic (PNS) and sympathetic (SNS) nervous function at 3 timepoints across the first year of life. Autonomic nervous system impairments may mediate associations between gestational exposure to stressors and later infant health problems. Heart rate variability (HRV) provides a sensitive index of PNS and SNS function. However, no studies have assessed longitudinal associations between prenatal stressors and infant HRV measures of both PNS and SNS over the first year of life. During the third trimester of pregnancy, 233 women completed measures of life stressors and depression. At 1, 6 and 12 months of age, a stressor protocol was administered while infant electrocardiographic (ECG) data were collected from a baseline through a post-stressor period. HRV measures of PNS and SNS activity (HF, LF, LF/HF ratio) were generated from ECG data. We used multilevel regression to examine the aims, adjusting for maternal depression and neonatal morbidity. There were no associations between prenatal stressors and any baseline or reactivity HRV metric over the infant’s first year of life. However, exposure to more stressors was associated with lower post-stressor LF HRV at both 6 (β = −.44, p = .001) and 12 (β = −.37, p = .005) months of age. Findings suggest potential alterations in development of the vagally mediated baroreflex function as a result of exposure to prenatal stressors, with implications for the infants’ ability to generate a resilient recovery in response to stressors.

description: The main aim of this review is to compare whether natural sounds or a quiet environment is more beneficial for alleviating stress. The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference between exposure to natural sounds and a quiet environment in terms of their effect on heart rate (p = 0.006), blood pressure (p = 0.001), and respiratory rate (p = 0.032). However, no significant difference was found between exposure to natural sounds and a quiet environment in terms of their effect on MAP (p = 0.407), perceived stress, and SPO2 (p = 0.251). Although the evidence was slightly inconsistent, overall, natural sounds were found more beneficial for stress reduction than quiet environments.

description: This PhD thesis investigates the labour conditions of translators working within platform capitalist and cooperative business models, assessed against the universal standards of decent and fair work as defined by the International Labour Organisation and Fairwork. Using a mixed-methods approach, with 454 questionnaires and 10 interviews with translators worldwide, the study examines how these models impact translators’ work conditions in the era of cognitive capitalism. Key findings suggest that while platforms promote global reach, flexibility and operational efficiency, they fail to meet decent and fair work conditions. Freelance translators on platform capitalist models often encounter exploitative and unsustainable conditions, characterised by inadequate earnings, unproductive work, excessive hours and limited access to social protections. Financial instability, health issues and work-related stress are common, worsened by peer competition and algorithmic management that suppresses earnings and bargaining power. Additionally, translators on platforms have limited involvement in democratic decision-making, leading to disenfranchisement and authoritarian management. Gender and regional disparities persist, with women and translators in the Global South facing greater challenges. In contrast, translation cooperatives, founded on collective ownership and democratic governance, offer more stable and equitable conditions that align with decent and fair work principles. Cooperative translators benefit from better earnings, meaningful work, job security and a healthier work-life balance, supported by fair management and a strong sense of solidarity. Nonetheless, cooperatives face challenges, including gender disparities, financial instability, competition with large corporations and difficulties scaling due to their local structures and ethical commitments. The study concludes by proposing five key hypotheses and introducing the concept of “transcooperation,” arguing for the need to confront systemic challenges such as capitalist, patriarchal and colonial practices within the platform economy and language industry. It also advocates for exploring cooperative models as viable alternatives to ensure fair work conditions for translators in the cognitive capitalist era.

description: Successful and efficient emotion regulation (ER) is a key mechanism for mental health. However, acute stress may impact the ability to cognitively regulate negative emotions due to its immediate effects on executive functioning. Based on previous studies, we expected that the time at which ER is tested after a stressor might have a decisive influence, with impairments in ER being more pronounced immediately after stress as compared to a later post-stress phase. To investigate such a time-dependent effect of stress on ER, we investigated 50 healthy adults (26 female) who were exposed to either the Trier Social Stress Test (n = 25) or a control condition (n = 25). Afterwards subjects conducted a cognitive ER task during which they were instructed to either regulate (cognitive reappraisal) or passively view neutral and negative visual stimuli. The ER task was divided into an early (0–20 minutes) and a late post-stress phase (20–40 minutes). Salivary cortisol and α-amylase were assessed as markers of the neuroendocrine stress response. Self-reported emotional state, the mean activity of the late positive potential measured via electroencephalogram (EEG), and corrugator electromyographic activity (EMG) were used as indices of ER. While the groups did not differ in the early post-stress phase, our results suggest a stress-related impairment in ER in the late post-stress phase. This effect was evident in all ER outcome variables (subjective rating, EEG, and EMG data). These results suggest a time-specific stress effect on cognitive reappraisal, which would have implications for reappraisal as a possible stress management technique.

description: Мир в целом пока далек от того, чтобы следовать траектории выбросов парниковых газов, которая соответствует цели Парижского соглашения. В 2022-2023 гг. усилилась геополитическая и экономическая фрагментация, усложняющая переход к низкоуглеродной экономике. При этом 2023 г., по оценкам Всемирной метеорологической организации, стал самым теплым за всю историю наблюдений. Среднегодовая глобальная температура вплотную приблизилась к уровню, который на 1,5°С выше доиндустриальных значений. Последствия изменения климата усиленно проявляются в виде опасных природных явлений, что в свою очередь увеличивает значимость мер по климатическому переходу для ведущих стран. Не являются исключением и основные торговые партнеры России из числа дружественных стран, прежде всего Китай - мировой лидер в области "зеленых" технологий. Ужесточение зарубежного климатического регулирования и активное внедрение низкоуглеродных технологий в мире неизбежно повлияют на российских экспортеров, продукция которых в основном состоит из энергоресурсов или обладает высокой углеродоемкостью. Эти процессы, как представляется, могут нести системные риски для экономики и финансового сектора, который финансирует эти компании. Задача данной публикации - обратить внимание на значимость климатических рисков для экономики и финансового сектора.

description: Dapsa nigripennis REITTER, 1879 stat.rev. (Abb. 1, 3)
M a t e r i a l u n t e r s u c h t: Türkei: Prov. Sinop [ZMB, cES].
Das Taxon Dapsa nigripennis REITTER, 1879 wurde von AUDISIO & DE BIASE (1996) mit Dapsa limbata MOTSCHULSKY, 1835 synonymisiert (Abb. 2, 4). Die Grundlage dafür waren ein als limbata MOTSCHULSKY gedeutetes Weibchen aus der nordwestlichen Türkei (Umg. Bolu) und ein weiteres Weibchen (der Typus von D. nigripennis REITTER) aus der Umgebung der heute Gjumri genannten armenischen Stadt (ehemals Alexanderhilf, Alexandroupolis oder Leninakan).
Aufgrund einer ähnlich geringen Anzahl von Tieren kamen auch SEMENOV & NIKITSKY (2001) zu keinem anderen Schluss und behielten die Synonymie bei.
Da das typische Material beider Arten weiterhin als verschollen gelten muss (D. limbata MOTSCHULSKY) oder nur noch aus einem einzelnen Weibchen besteht (D. nigripennis REITTER - REITTER (1879) nannte allerdings zwei Exemplare), ist auch die hier vorgenommene Revalidierung nicht gänzlich frei von Zweifeln. Doch der Zugriff auf Material (inkl. männlicher Tiere) aus der Nähe der beiden Typenfundorte lässt das Vorhandensein zweier Arten zweifelsfrei erkennen und eine Anwendung auf die beiden vorhandenen Namen erscheint als die naheliegende Lösung.
Der Typenfundort von D. limbata wird von MOTSCHULSKY (1835) mit "sur les montagnes d'Akhalzik en Arménie " angegeben. Die Region liegt heute im Grenzgebiet von Georgien (Provinzen Adscharien und Samzche-Dschawachetien) und der Türkei (Provinzen Artvin, Ardahan und Ezurum). Aktuelles Material liegt aus der weiter westlich gelegenen türkischen Provinz Kastmonu und der weiter östlich gelegenen armenischen Provinz Kotajk vor.
Von D. nigripennis REITTER liegt der Typenfundort in der Nähe des heutigen Gjumri in Armenien. Jüngeres Material wurde in der türkischen Provinz Sinop gesammelt.
Demnach scheinen beide Arten von Armenien und Georgien entlang der türkischen Schwarzmeerküste nach Westen verbreitet zu sein. AUDISIO & DE BIASE (1996) geben noch die türkische Provinz Bolu an, von wo ihnen ein Weibchen vorlag. Es wäre aber empfehlenswert, männliche Exemplare (so vorhanden) aus dem Nordwesten der Türkei auf die Artgleichheit mit D. limbata MOTSCHULSKY oder nigripennis REITTER zu prüfen, da in anderen Fällen die kaukasischen Arten dort bereits durch verwandte Arten ersetzt werden (ESSER 2017, ESSER 2019).
Im Grunde sind beide Arten gut unterscheidbar, v. a. die Männchen mittels Aedoeagus. Bei den Weibchen wie bei Männchen ohne Genitalpräparat bietet der Fühlerbau eine gute Unterscheidungsmöglichkeit (Tab. 1).

description: Why individuals suffer negative consequences following stress is a complex phenomenon that is dictated by individual factors, the timing of stress within the lifespan, and when in the lifespan the consequences are measured. Women who undergo adverse childhood experiences are at risk for lasting biological consequences, including affective and stress dysregulation. We have shown that pubertal adversity is associated with a blunted hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis glucocorticoid response in peripartum humans and mice. In mice, our prior examination of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus showed that pubertal stress led to an upregulation of baseline mRNA expression of six immediate early genes (IEGs) in the PVN of adult, pregnant mice. Separately, we showed that the pregnancy-associated hormone allopregnanolone is necessary and sufficient to produce the blunted stress response phenotype in pubertally stressed mice. In the current study, we further examined a potential mechanistic role for the IEGs in the PVN. We found that in pubertally stressed adult female, but not male, mice, intra-PVN allopregnanolone was sufficient to recapitulate the baseline IEG mRNA expression profile previously observed in pubertally stressed, pregnant mice. We also examined baseline IEG mRNA expression during adolescence, where we found that IEGs have developmental trajectories that showed sex-specific disruption by pubertal stress. Altogether, these data establish that IEGs may act as a key molecular switch involved in increased vulnerability to negative outcomes in adult, pubertally stressed animals. How the factors that produce vulnerability combine throughout the lifespan is key to our understanding of the etiology of stress-related disorders.

description: Agrilus catherinae (Chevrolat)
The original spelling for this species (Chevrolat, 1835) was " catharinae "; however, in his description, Chevrolat (1835) stated: “Trouvé pour la première fois, par Mme Ve Sallé (Catherine)." According to ICZN Article 32.5.1, " catherinae " can be considered a justified emendation in that " catharinae " is a misspelling of the honoree’s name. Without stating a reason, Waterhouse (1889) used " catherinae," as have all subsequent authors, so that the spelling can also be considered a justified emendation under ICZN Article 33.2.3.1. Both interpretations of the situation therefore favor " catherinae " as the correct name. CHIH, Guasaremos, Río Mayo, 5-Viii-35, CASC; VER, Cotaxtla, 19-VI-87, CLBC.

description: Perinatal stress is associated with altered placental methylation, which plays a critical role in fetal development and infant outcomes. This proof-of-concept pilot study investigated the impact of lifetime trauma exposure and perinatal PTSD symptoms on epigenetic regulation of placenta glucocorticoid signaling genes (NR3C1 and FKBP5). Lifetime trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms during pregnancy were assessed in a racially/ethnically diverse sample of pregnant women (N = 198). Participants were categorized into three groups: (1) No Trauma (−T); (2) Trauma, No Symptoms (T − S); and (3) Trauma and Symptoms (T + S). Placental tissue was analyzed via bisulfite pyrosequencing for degree of methylation at the NR3C1 promoter and FKBP5 regulatory regions. Analyses of covariance were used to test group differences in percentages of NR3C1 and FKBP5 methylation overall and at each CpG site. We found a significant impact of PTSD symptoms on placental NR3C1 methylation. Compared to the −T group, the T + S group had greater NR3C1 methylation overall and at CpG6, CpG8, CpG9, and CpG13, but lower methylation at CpG5. The T + S group had significantly higher NR3C1 methylation overall and at CpG8 compared to the T − S group. There were no differences between the T − S group and − T group. Additionally, no group differences emerged for FKBP5 methylation. Pregnant trauma survivors with PTSD symptoms exhibited differential patterns of placental NR3C1 methylation compared to trauma survivors without PTSD symptoms and pregnant women unexposed to trauma. Results highlight the critical importance of interventions to address the mental health of pregnant trauma survivors.

description: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent exhaustion and substantial declines in social and psychological functioning. Cognitive impairment (CI) is prevalent in CFS, affecting cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, and information processing. The concept of cognitive reserve (CR), positing that life experiences contribute to resilience against cognitive decline, is relevant in understanding the variability in CI among CFS patients. This study investigated the relationship between CR and CI in individuals with CFS using standardized measures, 91 participants were assessed for CR and CI. Non-parametric statistical analyses, including Spearman rank correlation, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test, and ordinal logistic regression were used. Results revealed a strong negative correlation between CR and CI, suggesting that higher CR is protective against CI in CFS. While gender and age did not significantly influence CR or CI, the severity of CFS was found to be a significant predictor of both variables. Individuals with more severe CFS exhibited lower CR and higher CI, emphasizing the importance of CR in mitigating cognitive decline in this condition. These findings underscore the protective role of CR against CI in CFS, suggesting potential benefits of interventions aimed at enhancing CR irrespective of gender. Future research should explore strategies to bolster CR as a therapeutic approach for managing CI in CFS more effectively.

description: Aims Observational evidence suggests that physical activity (PA) is inversely and sedentarism positively related with cardiovascular disease risk. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine whether genetically predicted PA and sedentary behavior are related to coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Methods and results We used single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with self-reported moderate to vigorous PA (n = 17), accelerometer based PA (n = 7) and accelerometer fraction of accelerations > 425 milli-gravities (n = 7) as well as sedentary behavior (n = 6) in the UK Biobank as instrumental variables in a two sample MR approach to assess whether these exposures are related to coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction in the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D genome-wide association study (GWAS) or ischemic stroke in the MEGASTROKE GWAS. The study population included 42,096 cases of coronary artery disease (99,121 controls), 27,509 cases of myocardial infarction (99,121 controls), and 34,217 cases of ischemic stroke (404,630 controls). We found no associations between genetically predicted self-reported moderate to vigorous PA, accelerometer-based PA or accelerometer fraction of accelerations > 425 milli-gravities as well as sedentary behavior with coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Conclusions These results do not support a causal relationship between PA and sedentary behavior with risk of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Hence, previous observational studies may have been biased.

description: Background Risks for living-liver donors are lower in case of a left liver donation, however, due to lower graft volume, the risk for small-for-size situations in the recipients increases. This study aims to prevent small-for-size situations in recipients using an auxiliary two-staged partial resection liver transplantation (LTX) of living-donated left liver lobes. Case presentation Two patients received a two-stage auxiliary LTX using living-donated left liver lobes after left lateral liver resection. The native extended right liver was removed in a second operation after sufficient hypertrophy of the left liver graft had occurred. Neither donor developed postoperative complications. In both recipients, the graft volume increased by an average of 105% (329 ml to 641 ml), from a graft-to-body-weight ratio of 0.54 to 1.08 within 11 days after LTX, so that the remnant native right liver could be removed. No recipient developed small-for-size syndrome; graft function and overall condition is good in both recipients after a follow-up time of 25 months. Conclusions Auxiliary two-staged partial resection LTX using living-donor left lobes is technically feasible and can prevent small-for-size situation. This new technique can expand the potential living-donor pool and contributes to increase donor safety.

description: Heterostructures from complex oxides allow one to combine various electronic and magnetic orders as to induce new quantum states. A prominent example is the coupling between superconducting and magnetic orders in multilayers from high-Tc cuprates and manganites. A key role is played here by the interfacial CuO2 layer whose distinct properties remain to be fully understood. Here, we study with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) the magnon excitations of this interfacial CuO2 layer. In particular, we show that the underlying antiferromagnetic exchange interaction at the interface is strongly suppressed to J ~ 70 meV, as compared to J ~ 130 meV for the CuO2 layers away from the interface. Moreover, we observe an anomalous momentum dependence of the intensity of the interfacial magnon mode and show that it suggests that the antiferromagnetic order is accompanied by a particular kind of orbital order that yields a so-called altermagnetic state. Such a two-dimensional altermagnet has recently been predicted to enable new spintronic applications and superconducting proximity effects.
