description: Several 2022 reports from government and academic organisations contain the key message that sustainable development can be achieved using digital technologies. The report ‹Digital Reset› (Digitalization for Sustainability, 2022) calls for using digital technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and resource waste in the agriculture, mobility, industry, and energy sectors. The researchers see digitalisation as a means to an end for sustainable transformation. Similarly, the report by the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES, 2022), presents an action plan that includes impact initiatives to «achieve a sustainable planet in the digital age». The EU argues that digital technologies must play a key role in achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050 (Muench et al., 2022). The authors call for a ‹twin transition›, managing digital and green transitions simultaneously so that they reinforce each other.

Spirinia

description: Genus Spirinia Gerlach, 1963
Spirinia belongs to the subfamily Spiriniinae, which includes genera such as: Alaimonema, Chromaspirina, Metachromadora, Onyx, Papillonema, Parallelocoilas, Perspiria, Polysigma Pseudometachromadora and Sigmophoranema. The subfamily is characterised by a head not offset as a distinct cephalic capsule, cuticle only finely striated and amphids surrounded by cuticular striations.
The genus Spirinia is distinguished from other members of the subfamily Spiriniinae in having a single dorsal tooth, minute teeth or no teeth, and precloacal supplements absent (rarely present). The differentiation of species within Spirinia is mainly by size and position of amphidial fovea, number and arrangement of cephalic setae, length and distribution of somatic setae, tail shape, and shape of spicules in male (Platt & Warwick, 1988).
Perspiria Vincx & Gourbault 1989 is a genus very close to Spirinia. Perspiria differs from Spirinia in having cuticular striations partly surrounding the amphideal fovea; pyriform terminal pharyngeal bulb mostly present; preanal supplements pore-like or tubiform and a filiform tail prominently striated.
Emended Genus Diagnosis. Cuticle with fine (faint) transverse striae, somatic setae arranged in eight longitudinal rows, may be restricted to neck region. Numerous epidermal cells may be associated with somatic papillae. Cephalic setae at level of amphids. Amphids surrounded by transverse cuticular striae, with outline circular, a simple spiral or loop-shaped. Buccal cavity very small and narrow, may be provided with a dorsal tooth or minute ventrosublateral teeth. Pharynx with short, round terminal bulb. Ventral gland present or absent. Spicules with prominent capitulum and velum. Precloacal supplements present or absent. Tail conical or conico-cylindrical.

Subjects: New highlanders entrepreneurship periphery mountain regions Switzerland

description: Mountain regions are generally seen as depopulating. However, in the European Alps, a new migration trend can be observed that may represent a reversal of out-migration from these regions. The in-migration of so-called new highlanders brings people from lowland urban and peri-urban areas to mountain regions to live and work. Research on the economic and social contributions of these new highlanders is sparse, and there are no studies that focus on their entrepreneurial activities. This study examined the characteristics and contributions of new highlander entrepreneurs and found that they are unlike traditional amenity migrants who migrate because of quality of life. New highlander entrepreneurs migrate not only for quality of life reasons, they moreover follow business opportunities and contribute to the economic and social life of their chosen locations. Based on attributes such as personal circumstances, recognition and exploitation of opportunities, business strategies, and economic and social contributions, we grouped new highlander entrepreneurs into 4 categories and explored their reasons for migrating and other characteristics. We conclude that mountain regions represent viable locations for entrepreneurs, despite the many disadvantages associated with this peripheral context.

description: Background: Asthma Link is a community-clinical linkage intervention wherein children with poorly controlled asthma receive school-supervised asthma therapy. This intervention supports collaboration between medical providers who identify and enroll children, families who consent and bring medications to their child’s school, and school nurses who supervise daily preventive medication administration. This intervention has shown promise in reducing asthma exacerbations, however implementation outcomes (adoption and acceptability), have not previously been assessed.

Methods: Using mixed-methods, we assessed adoption (defined as uptake of multiple process steps leading to children receiving supervised preventive asthma medication at school) and acceptability of Asthma Link. We generated descriptive statistics from surveys with practice staff(n=8), parents of enrolled children(n=29), and school nurses(n=14), as well as data tracking logs. We also interviewed medical providers and staff(n=8) and used rapid qualitative analysis. Finally, we triangulated qualitative and quantitative findings.

Findings: Regarding adoption, first, 100% of trained providers offered the program. Providers identified 66 eligible children and enrolled 47%(n=31). The preventive asthma medication was brought into school an average of 2.6 (SD=2.9) weeks after enrollment and medication was available to students for 95% of the time they were in school over twelve months of enrollment. One medical provider reflected on adoption: “It’s not for lack of trying...but the family is not willing to.” Acceptability was high in surveys and interviews: 77% of providers, 78% of parents, and 79% of school nurses strongly agreed that the program was acceptable. One provider reported “It was an excellent, excellent program.”

Implications for D&I Research: We found excellent adoption of Asthma Link once children were enrolled and high acceptability of the intervention. Qualitative interviews provided important context to quantitative implementation data and will inform future adaptations to promote intervention uptake. For example, we will develop implementation strategies to better support parents, who are identified by providers as “not willing” to participate, which could increase adoption. The use of mixed-methods to assess implementation outcomes at the level of intervention deliverers (medical providers, practice staff, school nurses) and end-users (parents) provided nuanced, actionable information on implementation. This approach should be considered in future implementation evaluations.
The search for an adhesive to grant glulam ductile behaviour
Creators: name: Brunner, Maurice Yaw

Year: 2007
Subjects: glulam adhesive ductile

description: Ductility could enhance the load-bearing performance of glulam beams. The authors propose that a ductile glulam beam could be attained by adjusting the characteristics of the adhesive layers to permit the plastic “yielding” of the interface at a certain shear level. Calculation models were developed to predict the necessary properties of the adhesive layer. The results were presented to a partner from the chemical industry. Different adhesive layers were developed and tested with small beech specimens in tensile shear loading. The most promising mixes were selected to manufacture some small glulam beams which were tested in bending. The feasibility study was a success: the beams exhibited clear signs of ductile behaviour.

description: In the manufacture of traditional cheese varieties, processing Fresh milk that has been treated as little as possible is crucial. Preserving the microbiome and the activity of the original enzymes in the raw milk to the greatest extent possible allows these cheeses to retain their original character. This objective conflicts with the growing demands placed on products in terms of food safety. The present literature search addresses the influence of the pre-treatment of cheesemaking milk on the food safety and quality of ripened cheeses, with particular focus on heat treatment, bactofugation, and microfiltration.

ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction

description: Worldwide, gravitational natural hazards pose risks to residential areas and infrastructures in mountainous, but also in other relief-rich areas. To protect against those hazards, nature-based solutions, also called ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures, are increasingly used in addition to, or as replacement of, more classical engineered structures. Quantified evidence of the net benefit of specific protective functions of nature-based measures can likely facilitate financial and organisational resources required for ensuring the durability and implementation at scale of Eco-DRR measures. In this review, we summarise existing studies that demonstrate the efficacy and benefit of Eco-DRR measures against gravitational natural hazards and propose a framework for providing quantitative evidence of natural hazard risk reduction provided by Eco-DRR in mountains. A realistic valuation of the benefits of Eco-DRR measures in mountains is only possible if, firstly, their effects on the natural hazard processes are quantified with sufficient detail and finally expressed in monetary terms allowing for a cost-benefit analysis and, secondly, possible temporal variations and uncertainties regarding the state and development of the Eco- DRR measure are taken into account. The protection from natural hazards is a so-called regulation function provided by ecosystems and is a “non-market good” as its benefit cannot directly be converted into monetary terms. The valuation of the benefits of this function can be done with a replacement cost methods, a hedonic pricing method, a contingent valuation method or an avoided cost method. This review shortly explains these methods and provides examples of applications to Eco-DRR in mountains. Finally, we propose a framework based on a risk-based approach allowing for the translation of the physical, protective effect of a Eco-DRR measure on the natural hazard process into a reduction of the risk of fatalities as well as of property risks in terms of the avoided costs.
Can We Talk Post-Preservation? A letter to Nam June Paik - Conference Preprint

description: This is a letter from the past to Nam June Paik in the future. This might sound paradoxical but I had been writing this script a few weeks ahead of its presentation at The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon, Seoul in November 2022. We were celebrating the 90th anniversary of Paik's birth in his absence. “The future is now.” This paper starts forging a creative and interpretive engagement with the past liberated from the (paradoxical) constrains of the authentic material. It means that, on the one hand, we should agree that dysfunctional media carry a timeless aesthetic that might liberate your works from the threat of obsolescence. On the other, it might mean to continue your works by activating them in the present moment, e.g. by deploying artistic gestures and creative re-enactments which would leave behind the fetish of the object and the historical ballast of the outworn. After all,“the eternity cult is the longest disease of mankind,” claimed Paik.

description: Since the early 1990s, competition in the Olympic Winter Games has changed notably in terms of events contested and nations taking part. Despite, these changes, which are overseen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the number of medal-winning nations has remained relatively stable. As a first attempt to illustrate this issue on a discipline by discipline basis, economic techniques are used to examine the outcome of competition between 1992 and 2014. The purpose of this paper is to measure: market size; the number of competing nations; and the balance between competitive nations in six disciplines. Focusing on competitive balance, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is applied to measure the concentration of domination; while the Przeworski Index is used to quantify instability over time. Important changes are identified in biathlon (2010) and short track (2014). While the change in the former is consistent with the IOC’s substantial increase in biathlon events, the latter can be attributed to athletes changing their nationality. IOC policy-makers can benefit from this research as it provides a method by which to monitor competition in a discipline. This method provides the potential for evaluating the likely effects of governing the Olympic Games by increasing the number of events.

description: Purpose: To compare hemoglobin mass (Hb(mass)) changes during an 18-d live high-train low (LHTL) altitude training camp in normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH). Methods: Twenty-eight well-trained male triathletes were split into three groups (NH: n = 10, HH: n = 11, control [CON]: n = 7) and participated in an 18-d LHTL camp. NH and HH slept at 2250 m, whereas CON slept, and all groups trained at altitudes <1200 m. Hb(mass) was measured in duplicate with the optimized carbon monoxide rebreathing method before (pre-), immediately after (post-) (hypoxic dose: 316 vs 238 h for HH and NH), and at day 13 in HH (230 h, hypoxic dose matched to 18-d NH). Running (3-km run) and cycling (incremental cycling test) performances were measured pre and post. Results: Hb(mass) increased similar in HH (+4.4%, P < 0.001 at day 13; +4.5%, P < 0.001 at day 18) and NH (+4.1%, P < 0.001) compared with CON (+1.9%, P = 0.08). There was a wide variability in individual Hb(mass) responses in HH (-0.1% to +10.6%) and NH (-1.4% to +7.7%). Postrunning time decreased in HH (-3.9%, P < 0.001), NH (-3.3%, P < 0.001), and CON (-2.1%, P = 0.03), whereas cycling performance changed nonsignificantly in HH and NH (+2.4%, P > 0.08) and remained unchanged in CON (+0.2%, P = 0.89). Conclusion: HH and NH evoked similar Hb(mass) increases for the same hypoxic dose and after 18-d LHTL. The wide variability in individual Hb(mass) responses in HH and NH emphasizes the importance of individual Hb(mass) evaluation of altitude training.

description: Linear vibration welding of timber structural elements provides new opportunities to potentially achieve structural joints. This paper investigates to which extent welded joints can be considered for load-bearing structural joints. On the basis of a series of experimental and numerical investigations on a series of welded single-lap joints, failure modes were identified, and the associated failure criterion was quantified. A probabilistic method subsequently allowed accurately predicting the capacity of the tested wood welded joints exclusively based on objective input data, including an estimate of the scattering due to the material’s inherent variability.

description: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste is mounting up in the environment due to its poor biodegradability and low recycling rate. Glycolysis is a promising chemical recycling technique to convert PET into its monomer bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (BHET). Here, we present our work on the glycolytic depolymerization of post-consumer PET waste using sodium ethoxide (EtONa) as a low-cost catalyst. In order to optimize the reaction in terms of PET conversion and BHET yield, response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box–Behnken design was applied for the reaction temperature (160–190 °C), the molar ratio of PET : EtONa (50–150), the molar ratio of ethylene glycol to PET (EG : PET) (3–7), the reaction time (2–6 h) and the PET particle size (0.25–1 mm). Based on the experimental results, regression models as a function of significant process parameters were obtained and evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) to predict the depolymerization performance of EtONa. By further optimization and expanding the parameter space beyond the initial upper limits, high PET conversion (98%) and an isolated yield of BHET (76%) were achieved. Under similar conditions, its depolymerization performance was compared to other widely studied catalysts, such as zinc acetate (PET conversion 97%, BHET yield 75%) and cobalt acetate (PET conversion 93%, BHET yield 70%). BHET precipitation without water is also demonstrated and it was found that EG and catalyst recycling is possible at least for 5 recycled runs with persistent conversion. Hence, EtONa is a very promising low-cost catalyst for PET depolymerization which has potential feasibility for a large-scale process.

description: Background: Blood pressure is a primary cardiovascular disease risk factor. Population-wide governmental strategies aim to reduce lifestyle and dietary risk factors for hypertension, one of which is an unbalanced diet with high sodium and low potassium intakes. Nutrition interventions in the workplace are considered a promising approach in encouraging health-promoting behaviors. We developed and conducted the health promoting sodium reduction trial “Healthful & Tasty: Sure!” in worksites in the German-speaking part of Switzerland from May 2015 to Nov 2016, for which we present the study protocol and baseline characteristics. Methods: Healthful & Tasty, a cluster nonrandomized single-arm trial with calibration arm, aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of a combined educational and environmental intervention in the workplace in reducing employees’ average daily sodium/salt intake by 15%. To this end, health and food literacy of employees and guideline compliance among the catering facility team needed to be improved. The primary outcome measure was sodium/salt intake estimated from sodium excretion in a 24-h urine sample. Secondary outcome measures included changes in the overall qualitative diet composition, blood pressure, anthropometric indices, and health and food literacy. Of eight organizations with catering facilities, seven organizations took part in the nutrition education and catering salt reduction interventions, and one organization participated as a control. Overall, 145 consenting employees were included in the staggered, one-year four-phase trial, of which 132 participated in the intervention group. In addition to catering surveys and food sampling, the trial included five follow-up health assessments including questionnaires, blood pressure measurements, anthropometrics, and sodium, potassium, and iodine intake measurements obtained from 24-h and spot urine samples, and a food record checklist. Exploratory and hypothesis generating baseline statistical analysis included 141 participants with adequate 24-h urine samples. Discussion: Despite practice-driven limitations to the study design and small cluster and participant numbers, this trial has methodological strength and will provide important insights into the effectiveness of a combined educational and environmental intervention to reduce salt intake among female and male Swiss employees. Trial registration: German Clinical Trials Register, DRKS00006790. Registered 23 September 2014.

Lestidium

description: Genus Lestidium Gilbert, 1905
Lestidium Gilbert, 1905:607 (Type species: Lestidium nudum Gilbert, 1905)
Diagnosis. Body moderately long, not especially slender; luminescent duct in abdominal cavity unbranched, extending forward to below opercle or before anterior margin of eye; nostrils well before a vertical through posterior end of maxilla; lateral line complete or incomplete; no light organ at anterior margin of orbit; a small luminescent duct along lower margin of orbit or absent; ventral adipose fin well-developed along margin between anus and AFO; DFO at above same vertical at or behind VFO, if behind, always before midpoint of V–A; and anal-fin rays 26–34.
Remarks. Lestidium comprises a small group of species with five species previously recognized in the genus: L. atlanticum, L. bigelowi Graae, 1967, L. nudum, L. orientale Ho et al., 2019, and L. prolixum Harry, 1953.
Of these species, L. atlanticum can be distinguished by having the luminescent duct extending beyond the pectoral girdle to before anterior margin of eye. It is also the only species that is reported to have a worldwide distribution. In this study, we recognize the population from southern Taiwan and northwestern Australia as a distinct species.
Another nominal species in the genus is Lestidium blanci Kartha, 1971 which was originally described from the Arabian Sea. Examination of a specimen (NTM S.13146-021) collected from northern Australia shows that it lacks the diagnostic luminescent duct in the abdominal cavity or a light organ around eye and is clearly a member of Lestidiops, a genus also in need of revision. All members of Lestidium have the DFO clearly before the midpoint of V–A, whereas Lestidiops blanci has its DFO well behind the midpoint of V–A, which is unique among paralepidid s. Moreover, the lateral line of L. blanci ends slightly behind the middle of the anal-fin base, also clearly different from the three new species described herein.

description: To improve the optical properties of photovoltaic (PV) modules, many manufacturers use new glass surface structures that reduce glare. However, these modifications can increase susceptibility to soiling. This research presents a new method for assessing soiling by positioning glasses without solar cells on a reference PV module. With this method, the soiling of the glasses can be measured without the systematic measurement uncertainties from the power or irradiance measurement negatively affecting the measurement accuracy. To demonstrate the method, five glass types are tested at four tilt angles at three locations. In this paper, the preliminary results are presented together with the soiling data after two months at a selected site.

description: Varkud satellite ribozyme (VS ribozyme) is a class of catalytic RNA with self-cleavage activity. The wild-type VS ribozyme has structural modularity with a relatively large catalytic module (H2–H6 elements) and a small substrate module (H1 element). The two modules can be dissected physically, and the substrate H1 RNA is recognized and then cleaved by the rest of the parent ribozyme serving as catalytic RNA. We characterized the catalytic properties of a bimolecular VS ribozyme developed and employed for an in-droplet evolution experiment of the VS ribozyme. We examined the effects of polyamines and several divalent metal ions. The results obtained in this study would be useful for the optimization of laboratory evolution of the VS ribozyme.
