description: Calcite precipitation is a common phenomenon in calcium-rich hardwater lakes during spring and summer, but the number and spatial distribution of lakes with calcite precipitation is unknown. This paper presents a remote sensing based method to observe calcite precipitation over large areas, which are an important prerequisite for a systematic monitoring and evaluation of restoration measurements. We use globally archived satellite remote sensing data for a retrospective systematic assessment of past multi-temporal calcite precipitation events. The database of this study consists of 205 data sets that comprise freely available Landsat and Sentinel 2 data acquired between 1998 and 2015 covering the Northeast German Plain. Calcite precipitation is automatically identified using the green spectra and the metric BGR area, the triangular area between the blue, green and red reflectance value. The validation is based on field measurements of CaCO3 concentrations at three selected lakes, Feldberger Haussee, Breiter Luzin and Schmaler Luzin. The classification accuracy (0.88) is highest for calcite concentrations ≥0.7 mg/L. False negative results are caused by the choice of a conservative classification threshold. False positive results can be explained by already increased calcite concentrations. We successfully transferred the developed method to 21 other hardwater lakes in Northeast Germany. The average duration of lakes with regular calcite precipitation is 37 days. The frequency of calcite precipitation reaches from single time detections up to detections nearly every year. False negative classification results and gaps in Landsat time series reduce the accuracy of frequency and duration monitoring, but in future the image density will increase by acquisitions of Sentinel-2a (and 2b). Our study tested successfully the transfer of the classification approach to Sentinel-2 images. Our study shows that 15 of the 24 lakes have at least one phase of calcite precipitation and all events occur between May and September. At the lakes Schmaler Luzin and Feldberger Haussee, we illustrated the influence of ecological restoration measures aiming at nutrient reduction in the lake water on calcite precipitation. Our study emphasizes the high variance of calcite precipitation in hardwater lakes: each lake has to be monitored individually, which is feasible using Landsat and Sentinel-2 time series.

description: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common ocular malignancy in adults, associated with the poorest prognosis, with metastatic disease occurring in up to 50% of patients. In contrast to metastatic cutaneous melanoma, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is associated with poor outcomes in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). Tebentafusp, a bispecific molecule, has recently become the first treatment in decades to improve overall survival for mUM. This review summarises the existing and emerging immuno-oncology approaches for the treatment of mUM, and biomarkers of response and resistance to the same. Finally, we propose future research directions that could maximise treatment benefit to a wider pool of patients with UM.

description: Magnetotail reconnection and related phenomena (e.g., flux ropes, dipolarizing flux bundles, flow bursts, and particle injections) occur more frequently on the duskside than on the dawnside. Because this asymmetry can directly result in dawn-dusk asymmetric space weather effects, uncovering its physical origin is important for better understanding, modeling, and prediction of the space weather phenomena. However, the cause of this pervasive asymmetry is unclear. Using three-dimensional global hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that the Hall physics in the magnetotail current sheet is responsible for the asymmetry. The current sheet thins progressively under enhanced global convection; when its thickness reaches ion kinetic scales, some ions are decoupled from the magnetized electrons (the Hall effect). The resultant Hall electric field E-z is directed toward the neutral plane. The Hall effect is stronger (grows faster) on the duskside; i.e., more ions become unmagnetized there and do not comove with the magnetized dawnward E-z x B-x drifting electrons, thus creating a larger additional cross-tail current intensity j(y) (in addition to the diamagnetic current) on the duskside, compared to the dawnside. The stronger Hall effect strength on the duskside is controlled by the higher ion temperature, thinner current sheet, and smaller normal magnetic field B-z there. These asymmetric current sheet properties are in turn controlled by two competing processes that correspond to the Hall effect: (1) the dawnward E x B drift of the magnetic flux and magnetized ions and electrons and (2) the transient motion of the unmagnetized ions which do not execute E x B drift.

description: Six UNC graduate students in audiology funded by the North Carolina LEND Program collaborated with staff from the North Carolina Division of Public Health to conduct a statewide analysis of EHDI related outcomes for 12 newly created geographic regions, to determine strengths, challenges, and opportunities for EHDI program development and improvement. The EHDI program in North Carolina is located within the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, and is administered by staff in the Genetics and Newborn Screening Unit who work closely with other agencies that serve children with special healthcare needs. In 2015, the EHDI program underwent major reorganization that increased the number of geographic regions from 6 to 12. Each region was assigned a single EHDI staff member responsible for monitoring screening, diagnosis, intervention, and related activities for children in their region. These changes are intended to improve continuity of care and greater familiarity with regional providers. The reorganization also resulted in three standing committees that focus on data application, enhanced education and training for professionals, and expansion of public awareness and family involvement.

description: For many, "Gender Studies" has become a label for a huge field, comprising women's studies, men's studies and all investigations into their differences and relations. Understood in that way 'gender studies' would be the name of any science that regards human beings under the aspect of their sex. The article pleads for a more specific notion of gender studies as an enter prise investigating the distinction between the sexes instead of using the distinction for research (like women's and men's studies do). Gender studies in this sense get its contour through dealing with three 'margins' of gender: 1. those gender trouble makers which gave rise to the category of 'gender' in clinical research in the 60s, and who are still vital resources for theoretical innovation in the humanities; 2. the phenomenon of gender indifference which has to be taken seriously both as feature of modern societies and as a clue to understanding sexual discrimination as an unexpected re-enactment of gender; 3. the contributions of 'sex studies' in the life-sciences which have to be observed by gender studies in a science studies manner, and which have to be taken seriously as intellectual competitors, not opponents. In sum, gender studies should be regarded as 'social studies of sexual difference' aiming at a culturalist decomposition of the reifications 'man' and 'woman'.

description: Performing acts of kindness increases well-being, yet people can be reluctant to ask for help that would enable others’ kindness. We suggest people may be overly reluctant due to miscalibrated expectations about others’ prosocial motivation, underestimating how positively others will feel when asked for help. A pretest identified that interest in asking for help was correlated with expectations of how helpers would feel, but a series of scenarios, recalled experiences, and live interactions among people in the U.S. (n = 2118) indicated that those needing help consistently underestimated others’ willingness to help, underestimated how positively helpers would feel, and overestimated how inconvenienced helpers would feel. These miscalibrated expectations stemmed from underestimating helpers’ prosocial motivation, while overestimating compliance motivation. This research highlights a limitation of construing help-seeking through a lens of compliance by scholars and laypeople alike. Undervaluing prosociality could create a misplaced barrier to asking for help when needed.

description: Alfvenic waves are believed to be fundamentally important in magnetic reconnection. Kinetic dynamics of particles can break the Alfven speed limit in the evolution and propagation of perturbations during reconnection. In this paper, the generation and signatures of kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) associated with magnetic reconnection in a current sheet is investigated using a three-dimensional (3-D) hybrid code under a zero or finite guide field. In order to understand the wave structures in the general cases of multiple X line reconnection, cases with a single X line of various lengths are examined. The KAWs are identified using the wave dispersion relation, electromagnetic polarization relations, as well as spectral analysis. In the cases in which the X line is so long to extend through the entire simulation domain in the current direction, quasi 2-D configurations of reconnection are developed behind a leading flux/plasma bulge. KAWs with perpendicular wave number k(i)approximate to 1 (with (i) being the ion Larmor radius) are found throughout the transient plasma bulge region and propagate outward along magnetic field lines with a slightly super-Alfvenic velocity. These KAWs are generated from the X line and coexist with the whistler structure of the ion diffusion region under a small guide field. In the cases in which the X line has a finite length 2 approximate to 10d(i), with being the half length of the X line and d(i) the ion inertial length, the KAWs originated from the X line are of 3-D nature. Under a finite guide field, KAWs propagate along the oblique magnetic field lines into the unperturbed regions in the current direction, carrying parallel electric field and Poynting fluxes. The critical X line length for the generation of 3-D-like structures is found to be 2(c)30d(i). The structure, propagation, energy, spectrum, and damping of the KAWs are examined. Dependence of the structure of KAWs on the guide field is also investigated.

description: The growth of magnetic field fluctuations driven by the injection of pickup ions perpendicular to a background magnetic field in a homogeneous, collisionless plasma is studied using one-dimensional hybrid simulations. Freshly ionized protons are continuously injected into the simulations at constant rates and relative speeds consistent with conditions in the distant solar wind and the outer heliosheath. The pickup protons initially form a ring-velocity distribution unstable to the electromagnetic proton cyclotron instability and lead to enhanced magnetic fluctuations. After an exponential growth phase of the instability, the fluctuating magnetic fields exhibit linear temporal growth followed by a more-slowly growing quasi-steady phase. The excited fluctuations pitch angle scatter the pickup protons toward an isotropic shell velocity distribution with the most significant scattering occurring in the exponential growth phase. The scattering rate of the freshly injected pickup protons during the linear temporal growth phase remains relatively constant and it increases with the pickup proton injection rate. More importantly, significant pitch angle scattering only occurs after the accumulated pickup proton density exceeds a critical value, the scattering-onset density. The scattering-onset density also increases with the pickup proton injection rate and the scattering onset typically occurs during the exponential growth phase of the magnetic fluctuations. Scaling relations for the scattering rate and the scattering-onset density versus the pickup proton injection rate are derived from the simulation results. These relations suggest that significant scattering of pickup protons in the outer heliosheath occurs in a relatively limited spatial range close to the heliopause, related to the issue of whether the secondary ENA mechanism is a possible explanation for the ENA ribbon observed by IBEX. Implications of the results on pickup proton dynamics in the distant solar wind are also discussed.

description: A recent study found that 39 per cent of young people in residential care in Scotland had self-harmed compared to 18 per cent of young people living with their birth parents and 14 per cent of young people in foster care (Meltzer, Lader, Corbin, Goodman & Ford, 2004). Another study of young people with experience of residential care in Glasgow found that almost half of respondents had self-harmed or injured themselves at some point in their lives and that the self-harm had predominantly occurred while the young people were living in residential care. Indeed, this study in Glasgow found that one-third of 13-17 years olds in residential care had self-harmed and that 10 per cent of young people in residential care used self-harm as a coping strategy when distressed compared to less than 1 per cent of young people in the general population (Scottish Health Feedback, 2001). These studies suggest that despite the belief that young people's needs can be better met in residential care settings, young people in residential care actually constitute a high-risk population for self harm (Robinson, Auckland, Crawford & Nevison, 1999). Studies to date in residential care settings suggest that elevated levels of emotional and behavioural disturbance continues and it remains unclear if the experience of residential care addresses the needs of young people who self-harm (Vostanis, 2000).

description: Transition metals are crucial components of several metabolic pathways and are critical for DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. However, when found in excess, these metal ions are toxic. To maintain the physiological concentration of metal ions at non-toxic concentration, bacteria rely on members of the Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) family of metalloregulators. Intriguingly, despite being coined as “metalloregulator”, specific members of the Fur family activate and repress gene expression in presence or absence of regulatory metals. Based on these observations, we hypothesized that the ability of these transcription factors to adopt different structural conformations underlies their ability to display different functions in presence and absence of metal ions. To address this important question, we solved the crystal structure of apo-Fur protein from Campylobacter jejuni. Structural analysis revealed that the protein adopts a V-shaped conformation harboring an evolutionary conserved cluster of positively charged residues on the surface. Using an extensive library of mutants and electrophoretic mobility shift analysis, we found that substituting residues forming the positively charged surface is detrimental for Fur interaction with DNA. Furthermore, our in vivo studies suggest that these positively charged residues are important for the regulation of CjFur target genes and that different mechanisms modulate the activity of Fur family of metalloregulators depending on the number of occupied metal binding sites. We showed that the disruption of metal binding sites of CjFur significantly reduces DNA binding in vitro and is deleterious for the repression of Fur target genes and gut colonization by C. jejuni. Finally, based on initial findings that adding a tag at the N-terminus of CjFur significantly reduces its ability to incorporate regulatory metal ions and bind DNA, we developed a new protocol for the purification of a highly active untagged CjFur protein. Overall, our studies shed new lights on the mechanistic basis controlling Fur gene regulatory activity in C. jejuni.

description: The focus of the acceptance test was on the content, presentation and visualization of information, while data basis and plausibility of information were discussed on the side. The acceptance variables that were tested were: perceived ease of use (i.e. comprehensibility of information), perceived usefulness, perceived importance, behavioral intention to use and willingness to pay. Next to this, participants were also asked to indicate their preferences between options and their main interest in a set of indicators. In this way, the main components of an EPC (energy label, main, partial and additional performance indicators and recommendations etc.) were queried. In total 105 participants took part in the online acceptance workshops (ranging from 28 to 10 participants per workshop). Their answers were collected on the one hand through a software called poll everywhere and on the other hand through open discussions. Based on the results, we have drawn some initial conclusions that are: overall the majority of workshop participants showed rather high perceived importance, comprehensibility and usefulness of the proposals. However, summarizing the feedback from all workshops we recognise that there is potential for improvement regarding all proposed illustrations for new EPC summary sheets. Furthermore, common interests that catch the eye are: strong interest in annual energy costs as one of the main performance indicators in all countries, whereas primary energy use is also considered as highly important. Moreover, overall, indoor air quality and thermal comfort are the most interesting additional indicators to participants based on the results. However, these two points of all things still raise questions about the data basis and calculation methodology that make it possible for valid data to be made available. Because one thing became clear again: information that does not seem plausible or is not up-to-date or whose calculation basis is not transparent should not appear in the EPC summary sheets because it would create mistrust and confusion.

description: Small-scale solitary electric potential structures are commonly observed on auroral field lines with the Polar Electric Field Instrument (EFI). This study focuses on observations of solitary structures in the southern hemisphere auroral zone at altitudes between 5500 and 7500 km. Some of the potential structures are similar to those observed previously by the S3-3 and Viking satellites and are inferred to be negative potential pulses traveling upward along the auroral magnetic field lines, associated with upgoing ion beams and upward currents The velocities of these ion solitary potentia; structures are estimated, using spaced EFI measurements, to be distributed within solitary potential structures are estimated, using spaced EFI measurements, to be distributed within the range of similar to 75 - 300 km s(-1) In addition to these structures, a different type of solitary potential structure with opposite polarity has been observed with faster propagation velocities. These faster structures (termed electron solitary potential structures) are distinguishable from the slower, ion solitary structures in that their distinctive bipolar electric field signature, common to both types of solitary structure, is reversed. The ultimate distinction for the electron solitary potential structures is that they are observed on auroral field lines in conjunction with magnetically field-aligned upflowing electron beams. The electron solitary potential structures propagate up the field line in the same direction as the electron beam. An example is shown of the polarity reversal from ion to electron solitary potential structures coincident with a simultaneous shift from upgoing ion beams to upgoing electron beams.

description: Culham and Nind (2003) have argued that normalisation and inclusion are guiding philosophies which have a common end but radically different approaches to attaining that end. Whilst there is a shared desire to see people with special needs as valued members of the community, there is a fundamental difference. In normalisation, community presence and value are earned through minimising difference, whereas in inclusion, the person's difference is welcomed and valued. One way of eradicating that difference is through the process of assimilation (Allan, 1999). Assimilation, however, is at odds with the kind of empowerment strategies adopted by most other devalued groups (for example: ethnic minorities; women; people with physical and sensory disabilities) who celebrate their differences and welcome congregative identity and activity.
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in the Treatment of Language

description: Purpose or Research Questions: In adults with communicative impairments, are noninvasive brain stimulation techniques (i.e. Transcranial Direct Current and Magnetic Stimulations) in conjunction with traditional interventions more effective than traditional interventions alone when treating and rehabilitating acquired communication and literacy deficits? Background: Due to the lack of substantive structural intervention in the event of language impairment, the aim of the present systematic review is to procedurally assess studies in which noninvasive brain stimulation, in conjunction with traditional treatments, is used to rehabilitate language and communication. Methods/Proposed Methods: A systematic search of noninvasive brain stimulation studies was carried out using predefined search strings in 5 databases. The initial search resulted in 111 articles, which were then independently assessed to determine relevance based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Patients must have been eighteen years of age or older and have suffered a cerebrovascular accident. Then, quality appraisals were completed on the remaining articles. Data from the selected studies will be extracted and then synthesized into a comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of noninvasive brain stimulation in language rehabilitation treatments. Results/Anticipated Results: The systematic review includes 6 articles; 2 randomized control trails, 2 clinical control trials, and 2 quality improvement studies. 6 out of 6 articles were rated as high quality, with an inter-rater reliability of 85%. Current research indicates a potentially positive effect of noninvasive brain stimulation when coupled with more traditional treatments. This manifests as an improved ability to name objects and engage in the fundamentals of language; however, further study is necessary regarding the placement of both anodes and cathodes and supplementary intervention. Discussion: Transcranial direct stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation may represent a novel and significantly beneficial structural supplement to traditional intervention. While more research is necessary to properly differentiate between the efficacy of tDCS and TMS, as well as the ideal placement of the anodal/cathodal array, this systematic review aims to serve as a foundation for evidence-based practice in the use of noninvasive brain stimulation to help rehabilitate language, especially in a post-stroke population.

description: It has been conceptualized that adolescence (generally defined as the period of time between the onset of puberty and mid to late twenties), is a period of increased reported and observed risk-taking behavior compared to both children and adults (Strang et al., 2013). Although risk-taking in a broad sense has been well investigated in adolescents (for reviews, see Crone & van Duijvenvoorde, 2021; Van Leijenhorst & Crone, 2016), risk taking in the social domain has received relatively little attention. Recent studies have proposed that due to heightened sensitivity to negative social outcomes, adolescents may be particularly motivated to avoid social risk taking (Blakemore, 2018). As social risks are frequently juxtaposed with health risks for adolescents (e.g., at a party, adolescents may binge drink to avoid the social risk of being isolated by peers), avoiding social risks may lead to negative health outcomes. Yet, it is unclear what factors affect people’s decisions to take social risks. As such, the current study aims to investigate what individual difference variables contribute to college students’ self-reported tendencies to take social risks.

Investigating founding top management team imprints on post-succession top management team membership dynamics and the moderating effects of outside CEOs’ work experiences
Creators: name: Chen, Su
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Drawing on the theoretical lens of imprinting research, this study posits that the extent of post-succession top management team (TMT) membership dynamics is influenced by the similarities between the incumbent TMT and the founding TMT, referred to as “imprint-team fit.” This study further hypothesizes that the outside CEO’s work experiences shape their propensities to conform to firm norms and traditions, thereby moderating the relationship between imprint-team fit and post-succession TMT membership dynamics. To test these hypotheses, I collected data on 355 outside CEO successions that occurred between 2010 and 2018 in a sample of publicly traded firms in China. My findings suggest that the greater similarity between the incumbent TMT and the founding TMT in terms of functional background composition, the less likely substantial personnel changes will occur after outside successions. This relationship is stronger when the outside CEO’s career profile is less diverse, and when they have a functional background in accounting/legal domains or a political background. This study provides a theoretical perspective to better understand the outside CEO’s role as a “change agent” and may offer insights to reconcile inconsistent findings on post-succession consequences.

description: Ion distributions from three storms in the year 2000 have been obtained from HENA and MENA ENA images at 27-39 keV and 5-12 keV, respectively. The observed motion of the ring current is compared with calculations of expected radial and angular drift speeds made using a combination of the Tsyganenko 89 magnetic field model and the Weimer 2001 electric field model. In one case between 1000 and 1100 UT on 10 June 2000 that had already been reported, the westward drift of the 33 keV ions is as expected. Comparisons with speeds inferred from the motion of peaks in the ion distributions, however, often did not agree with the model predictions. Examination of the predicted paths showed that the ions are expected to experience significant energy changes as they drift so that they quickly move out of the observed energy channel. Thus we are able to conclude that the observed motion is consistent with equatorial electric fields in the inner magnetosphere of a few tenths of a mV/m on 10 June 2000, several mV/m on 12 August 2000, and less than or equal to1 mV/m on 4 October 2000 as predicted. Other interesting observations include ( 1) the suggestion of a two step injection process during the main phase of the 4 October 2000 storm, ( 2) the unexplained disappearance of the 33 keV protons when their drift motion brings them to noon in the recovery phase of the 10 June 2000 storm, ( 3) the apparent subtle changes in the electric potential pattern in the equator early in the 4 October 2000 storm, and ( 4) the energy dependence of the spatial source of the injected particles in the plasma sheet during the strong storm on 12 August 2000.
Investigating the pathways from preconception care to preventing maternal, perinatal and child mortality: A scoping review and causal loop diagram

description: In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that developing preconception care provides an opportunity to significantly reduce maternal and child mortality and morbidity. This involves targeting multiple risk factors through a large array of medical, behavioural and social interventions. In this study, we created a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) to describe several pathways by which a set of preconception interventions may lead to women’s improved health and better pregnancy outcomes. The CLD was informed by a scoping review of meta-analyses. It summarises evidence on the outcomes and interventions related to eight preconception risk factors. The authors reviewed literature from two databases (PubMed and Embase) and used the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. The CLD includes 29 constructs categorised into five different levels (mortality, causes of death, preconception risk factors, intermediate factors, interventions or policies). The model indicates interconnections between five sub-systems and highlights the role of preventing early and rapidly repeated pregnancies, as well as optimising women’s nutritional status in the preconception period. It also shows the prevention of preterm birth as a privileged route for lowering child mortality and morbidity. The CLD demonstrates the potential benefits of strategies that address multiple preconception risk factors simultaneously and can be used as a tool to promote the integration of preconception care into efforts to prevent maternal and child mortality. With further improvements, this model could serve as a basis for future research on the costs and benefits of preconception care.

description: The health interests of young people in and leaving local authority care have received increased attention at a political and practice level in Scotland in recent years. A growing body of Scottish research is contributing to our understanding of the health needs and issues of this vulnerable and excluded group of children and young people. At the end of 2003, NHS Health Scotland led a conference that focused on the health of looked after children. This provided a much needed opportunity to bring together key stakeholders from agencies concerned with improving the health of young people in and leaving care. This event was considered to be a welcome and valuable contribution to the growing interest in this extremely important topic.

description: In accordance with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library's mission statement to promote public service beyond UNC's campus, we sought to build collaborative relationships between the Health Sciences Library, and local community colleges. We received an outreach express award from the National Library of Medicine to reach out to librarians, students, faculty, and staff at community colleges because of the important role they play in the training and development of the allied health professions. This project was developed in response to the health information needs identified in survey results from faculty and students at Durham Technical Community College, and Central Carolina Community College. Based on results indicating that 86% of students reported that they learn better with hands-on activities and tutorials, we developed two interactive training modules for developing research skills. The next step will be testing the modules with the users. The lessons learned from this project will be helpful for libraries that want to partner with and reach out to community colleges.
