description: BACKGROUND: Certain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread, persistent environmental contaminants. Prenatal PFAS exposure has been associated with lower birth weight; however, impacts on body composition and factors responsible for this association are unknown. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to estimate associations between maternal PFAS concentrations and offspring weight and adiposity at birth, and secondarily to estimate associations between PFAS concentrations and maternal glucose and lipids, and to evaluate the potential for these nutrients to mediate associations between PFAS and neonatal outcomes. METHODS: Within the Healthy Start prospective cohort, concentrations of 11 PFAS, fasting glucose, and lipids were measured in maternal mid-pregnancy serum (n = 628). Infant body composition was measured using air displacement plethysmography. Associations between PFAS and birth weight and adiposity, and between PFAS and maternal glucose and lipids, were estimated via linear regression. Associations were decomposed into direct and indirect effects. RESULTS: Five PFAS were detectable in >50% of participants. Maternal perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorononanoate (PFNA) concentrations were inversely associated with birth weight. Adiposity at birth was approximately 10% lower in the highest categories of PFOA, PFNA, and perfluor-ohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) compared to the lowest categories. PFOA, PFNA, perfluorodecanoate (PFDeA), and PFHxS were inversely associated with maternal glucose. Up to 11.6% of the effect of PFAS on neonatal adiposity was mediated by maternal glucose concentrations. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was not significantly associated with any outcomes studied. CONCLUSIONS: Follow-up of offspring will determine the potential long-term consequences of lower weight and adiposity at birth associated with prenatal PFAS exposure.

description: Accurate measurements of soil stress are needed to evaluate the impact of traffic on soil properties and prevent soil compaction. Four types of transducer commonly used to measure vertical stress were calibrated in realistic traffic conditions in the field. The four transducer types differed in shape and dimensions, which are important factors influencing stress. Deviation of measured stress from true stress ranged from 15% underestimation to 18% overestimation, with transducer thickness to width ratio being the most important shape factor influencing the stress recorded. Changes in physical conditions in the soil above the transducers due to their installation did not influence the accuracy of vertical stress measurements. The results of this calibration are valid for correcting stress measurements in topsoil, but should be used with caution for vertical stress measurements in subsoil. All stress transducers should be calibrated in field conditions before use. More research is needed to characterise the stress distribution in the measuring face of transducers and better predict interactions between transducer and soil during loading.

description: Background Parenting stress after preterm birth (PTB) has negative long-term effects on parenting. Research about parental experiences after PTB and on parenting stress in early childhood has focused on mothers. Purpose To compare parenting stress between mothers and fathers 2 to 3 years after PTB and full-term birth (FTB) and to explore their memories about their stress experience, especially after PTB. Methods Fifty-four mothers and fathers in Switzerland whose children were PTB and 65 parents of FTB completed the Parenting Stress Index 2 to 3 years after birth. We compared scores between PTB and FTB and between mothers and fathers. A random subset of parents took part in semistructured interviews that began with photo-elicitation. We analyzed the data thematically. We cross-validated and corroborated qualitative and quantitative findings about parenting stress 2 to 3 years after birth. Results Preterm birth is stressful for parents who cannot take a child’s health for granted, but stress experiences after FTB and PTB equalize within 2 to 3 years. Mothers were the primary caregivers and suffered more stress than fathers. For parents with PTB, positive communications from healthcare workers strengthened parental coping in neonatal intensive care unit and after discharge, but parents perceived discharges as early and inconsistent. Implications for Practice and Research: Interventions and new models of care improving communication with healthcare professionals, involving parents in infant care as early as possible, increasing staff support to help parents cope better, and optimizing the management of discharge need to be implemented into practice. Their impact on parenting stress on the long term needs to be investigated.

description: The demands on current packing systems for the transport of paintings on textile supports are manifold. These must protect against various types of external impacts such as climate and mechanical stress, as well as transport-induced shock and vibration. A selection of packing systems and materials was tested in field and lab sequences with respect to their damping effects within the context of a research project on the transport of fragile paintings. The systematic quantification of various materials and combinations thereof delivered a direct comparison of the systems and uncovered an unexpected need for action with respect to the damping capacity of vibration immissions. Field tests of commonly used packing systems revealed resonance behaviour leading to the amplification of vibrations on test paintings. The results of field and laboratory experiments clearly show that vibration damping with the usual damping materials is difficult to achieve. Low controllability of the performance in the workflow aggravates the situation. This may change the predicted vibration behaviour. The movement of the sidewall of the truck may induce increased vibration.

description: Dendrometers recording stem diameter variations (SDV) at high-resolution are useful to assess trees’ water relation since water reserves are stored in the elastic tissue of the bark. These tissues typically shrink during the day as they release water when evaporative demand is high and swell during the night as they are replenished when evaporative demand is low, generating the typical SDV profile known as the diel SDV cycle. However, similar SDV cycles have been observed on dead trees due to the hygroscopic shrinking and swelling of the dead bark tissues. In order to remove this hygroscopic effect of the bark, dendrometers are applied as close as possible to the living bark tissues by removing the outer dead layer, however with questionable success. In this study, we used SDV time series from 40 point dendrometers applied on dead-bark-removed mature trees to assess and quantify the remaining hygroscopic effect on individual trees. To do so, we checked SDV behavior in the cold season and explored the relation between the diel SDV cycle and changes in relative humidity (RH). Our results showed that (a) the hygroscopic effect in SDV can be well-detected based on the amplitude of the diel SDV cycle (diel SDVampl) and the correlation between SDV and RH during both the cold and the warm season; (b) the level of the hygroscopic effect varies strongly among individuals; (c) diel SDVampl is proportional to both changes in RH and transpiration so that the hygroscopic effect on the diel SDV cycle can be quantified using a linear model where (diel SDVampl) is a function of RH changes and transpiration. These results allow the use of the model to correct the amplitude of the diel SDV cycles and suggest that this method can be applied to other ecological relevant water-related SDV variables such as tree water deficit.

description: Die deutschsprachige Rechtswissenschaft ist eine der Fachdisziplinen mit der ge- ringsten Durchsetzungsrate von Open Access überhaupt. Woher kommt diese Zu- rückhaltung gegenüber einer in anderen Wissenschaften enthusiastisch vorangetrie- benen und von der Politik breit geförderten Bewegung? Will man der Rechtswis- senschaft keine anachronistische Fortschrittsverweigerung unterstellen, sollten sich sachliche Gründe ausmachen lassen, warum sie dem Phänomen Open Access mit Skepsis begegnet, oder jedenfalls keine eigenen Anstrengungen in diese Richtung unternimmt. Solche Gründe werden in der Rechtswissenschaft bisher kaum öffent- lich kommuniziert und allenfalls im informellen Kreis erörtert. Der vorliegende Beitrag sichtet die Gründe und leitet aus der Perspektive eines advocatus diaboli acht Thesen her, warum die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen der Rechtswis- senschaft mit Open Access unvereinbar sein könnten. Eine argumentative Ausein- andersetzung mit diesen Thesen verspricht einen differenzierteren Diskurs, der die Rechtswissenschaft in ihren Eigenheiten ernst nimmt, ohne dabei die Potentiale von Open Access zu verleugnen.

description: Computer-based art has evolved considerably since the first implementation of computer graphics in the early 1970s. In the past three decades, there has been a radical change towards more sophisticated solutions that have modified our understanding of technological borderlines and the limits of display standards and aesthetics. Although the preservation of computer-based artifacts owes much to discourse and research done in the preservation of electronic and time-based media, the approach to computer-based installations still calls for more exploration. That this topic has attracted little attention so far is mainly due to the lack of specific expertise at various institutions. The conservation of these artworks distinguishes itself from conventional approaches to traditional media. A singular work in different states results in the emergence of variations and multi-locational instantiations that call into question established procedures. At times, an artwork’s recovery may lead to the fabrication of an additional version. In light of this, the ethics of conservation are subject to profound considerations. Moreover, it is not unusual that artists themselves act not only as creators, but also as caretakers. Most importantly, in reference to conservation discourse and the decision-making process—as is true with much of contemporary art (and in this paper)—the artist is not only alive, the artist is involved.

description: For about 35 years, two types of bilingual education programs have been offered to ethnicminorities in the Netherlands. The first are the bilingual reception models, which have beenapplied only in a few schools. The second, Mother Tongue Instruction (MTI), was morewidespread and took up as much as 10% of the time spent at school. The focus in this paperis on MTI. As MTI has been abolished as of 2004, this chapter bears the character ofan evaluation of the policy developments, their implementation, and effects. The followingtext provides an overview of policy developments with regard to MTI. It takes a closerlook at the arguments on which that policy was based and presents arguments held againstthis policy. Subsequent paragraphs outline major results of Dutch evaluation studies ofbilingual education. The paper concludes with some observations about why, given theunfavorable framework, bilingual education in the Netherlands could not become a successstory.

Pflegeethik und die Sorge um den Zugang zu Pflege

description: Die gegenwärtige Verdichtung ethischer Fragen im Pflegealltag zeigt die Verwobenheit von Pflegeethik und Pflegepraxis. Doch was für eine Rolle spielen dabei ethische Theorien? Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht diese Frage anhand der Care-Ethik. Ihre Rezeption in der Pflege hat dazu geführt, die Bedeutung von Beziehungen und Gender sowie Asymmetrien an Macht, Wissen und Erfahrung in professionellen Beziehungen zu thematisieren. Der Beitrag beschreibt verschiedene Aspekte dieser Rezeption sowie die Kritik, die diese ausgelöst hat. Danach hebt er die Aktualität der Care-Ethik anhand einer neueren Leseart hervor. Diese nimmt zunächst die historische Wahrnehmung Pflegender als randständige Akteurinnen und Akteure im Gesundheitswesen auf. Doch die heutige Realität des Mangels an Pflege rückt diese mittelfristig nicht an den Rand, sondern ins Zentrum der gesundheitspolitischen Aufmerksamkeit. Die Randthematik aber bleibt. Sie betrifft jedoch immer weniger die Pflegenden selber und immer mehr diejenigen, die Pflege empfangen. Darunter zählen Bevölkerungsgruppen, die aufgrund von Merkmalen wie Hochaltrigkeit, Multimorbidität oder fehlender Gesundheitskompetenz an den Rand definierter Versorgungsketten gedrängt werden. Der Beitrag plädiert für ein umfassenderes Verständnis der Care-Ethik in der Pflege: Die «klassische» individualethische Lesart und ihr Fokus auf die Beziehung zwischen Pflegende(r) und Patient(in) werden erweitert um eine sozialethische Leseart, die Care als Sorge um den Zugang zu Pflege versteht.

Subjects: Net human food supply Environmental footprint Human edible feed conversion ratio

description: Negative environmental impacts from livestock need to be reduced. However, animal-sourced proteins will remain important for global food supply, as animals are able to convert biomass not suitable for human consumption to high value proteins. Animals compete directly with human food supply when fed human-edible feedstuffs. Feeding cows with concentrated feeds may decrease GHG-intensity; however, it likely increases feed-food competition. To investigate these conflicts of interest, we assessed GHG emissions and the human edible protein conversion ratio (edible protein in feeds/edible protein in animal products, ePCR) of 87 Swiss dairy cow farms. The GHG emission intensity was 0.70-1.21 kg CO 2 eq (kg energy corrected milk)-1. The ePCR ranged from 0.04 to 1.14. Correlation between GHG-intensity and ePCR was low, implying that low GHG-intensity does not contradict low feed-food competition. Human-edible protein production per kg of CO 2 eq ranged from-4.6 to 32.5 g CP. As a novel approach, we propose to calculate environmental footprints based on net human edible protein supply.

description: Introduction: Disease related Malnutrition remains a major burden for patients and healthcare systems. The Medication Pass Nutritional Supplement Program (MEDPass) involves providing patients with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in unusually small amounts three to four times a day during medication rounds. This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of MEDPass ONS administration on compliance, total energy and protein intake, food intake, body weight (BW), and handgrip strength (HGS) in hospitalized adults and nursing home residents. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search in the databases MEDLINE, Embase, Sciencedirect and the Cochrane Library. Included study types were randomized controlled trials (RCT), non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCT) and before-after studies. Validated tools specific to the study design were used to assess included studies. Results: Ten studies were identified with two being RCTs, three non-RCTs and five before-after trials. Compliance increased by 23.4-66% with MEDPass administration, resulting in compliance rates of 72.7-96%. With MEDPass administration, BW increased by 1-6.8% or remained stable. The assessed evidence on total energy intake is ambiguous for protein, with a trend towards an increased intake. Trials on energy intake from food show mixed results as well. One study suggests a slight increase in HGS. The included studies predominantly raise concerns for bias. Conclusion: We conclude that MEDPass ONS administration increases compliance in hospitalized adults and nursing home residents. For all other outcomes, robust and well-powered trials are necessary.

Martensikara

description: Martensikara gen. nov.
Type species. Martensikara jocheni spec. nov.
Etymology. Named in honour of Jochen Martens on the occasion of his 80 th birthday. The generic name is a combination of the family name “Martens” and the Malagasy word for Madagascar “ Repoblikan’i Madagasikara ”. The gender is feminine.
Diagnosis. Martensikara gen. nov. may be distinguished from all other Heteropodinae by the following combination of characters: 1. Tibiae I–II with 5–7 pairs of ventral spines (usually 3 pairs; Spariolenus Simon, 1880 with 5 pairs, Berlandia Lessert, 1921 with 9–10 pairs, but both genera with posterior eye row distinctly recurved). 2. Chelicerae with 4 escort setae sensu Ramirez (2014) (all other Heteropodinae with 1 escort seta). 3. Posterior eye row straight to slightly procurved (other Heteropodinae with posterior eye row recurved). 4. Chelicerae with more than 4 retromarginal teeth as in Thunberga Jäger, 2020a, Platnickopoda Jäger, 2020b, or the South American Anaptomecus Simon, 1903b (distinguished from these by points 1–2 of this diagnosis). 5. Unique pattern of transverse stripes and chevrons on the dorsal side of the opisthosoma (Fig. 10; no such pattern in other Heteropodinae).
Notes. Beside the characters mentioned in the diagnosis above, the simple internal duct system of the vulva in combination with the presence of more than two promarginal cheliceral teeth is unique within the entire family. Even similarly simple duct systems of e.g. Cebrennus kochi (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), C. tunetanus Simon, 1885 or Olios lucieni Jäger 2020c (all of them Sparassinae Bertkau, 1872 with 2 promarginal teeth) have glandular appendages or some windings or a generally more structured duct system. The presence of 4 promarginal teeth on the cheliceral furrow is another exceptional character state. If congeners will be found with the same character state, it could serve as a diagnostic character for the genus as well.
Description. See description of the type species below.
Species included. Only the type species.
Distribution. Presently known only from the type locality of the type species in southern Madagascar (Toliara Province) (Fig. 36: green triangle).

The impact of interest rates on the stock market
Creators: name: Jo'rayev, Og'abek
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The impact of interest rates on the stock market is a topic of significant interest and debate among economists, investors, and policymakers. Interest rates play a crucial role in shaping the behaviour of financial markets, influencing investment decisions, asset valuations, and overall market dynamics. Interest rate changes can have a significant impact on stock prices, volatility, and investor mood. They can also have an impact on the performance of certain stocks, industry sectors, and the market as a whole. This thesis will explore the complex relationship between interest rates and the stock market, examining the various ways in which changes in interest rates can impact stock prices and market dynamics.

description: Es wurden vier kommerziell erhältliche Beschichtungssysteme bestehend aus Grundierung und Deckschicht für den Fassaden‐ und Fensterbereich auf Fichtenholzproben appliziert. Bei diesen Systemen wurden in der Grundierung bzw. in der Deckschicht folgende Bindemittel eingesetzt: Alkydharze, Acrylate, Hybridsysteme, modifizierte PU‐Systeme, Co‐Polymere und mineralische Bindemittel. Jedes der vier Systeme wurde mit drei verschiedenen Schichtdicken aufgetragen und hinsichtlich des Wasserdampfdiffusionswiderstandes bewertet. Dabei erfolgten die Messungen im Dry‐cup‐ und Wet‐cup‐Modus mit unterschiedlicher Ausrichtung der Probe im Diffusionsstrom. Die µ‐Werte und die Diffusionskoeffizienten der Proben zeigten dabei eine deutliche Abhängigkeit von der Dicke der Beschichtung. Des Weiteren kann abgeleitet werden, dass bei steigender Materialfeuchte der Diffusionswiderstand sinkt. Systeme basierend auf Alkydharzen sind speziell bei tiefen Substratfeuchten (4 bis 6 %) sehr dicht und wirken sperrend gegenüber dem Wasserdampfdiffusionsstrom. Demgegenüber sind Systeme mit mineralischem Aufbau deutlich diffusionsoffener. Diese Systemabhängigkeit ist bei höheren Feuchten (22 bis 24 %) nicht mehr vorhanden, da in diesem Fall alle untersuchten Systeme ein diffusionsoffenes Verhalten zeigen.
description: Four commercially available coating systems including primer and top coat for façades and windows were applied to spruce samples. The systems were based on alkyd resins, acrylates, hybrid systems, modified PU systems, co‐polymers and mineral binders. Each of the four systems was applied with 3 different thicknesses for measuring the water vapour resistance. The measurements were done in the dry‐cup and wet‐cup mode and with different orientations of the sample in the diffusion flow. The µ‐values and the diffusion coefficients show a clear correlation to the thickness of the coating. Further an increase of the moisture content reduces the vapour resistance. Systems based on alkyd resin are very closed and block the water vapour especially at low moisture contents (4−6 %). On the contrary systems based on mineral binders are much more open and let the vapour pass through. This dependency on the binder system is not obvious for higher moisture contents (22−24 %). In this case all analysed variations were vapour permeable.

description: Superhard nanocomposite nc-TiC/a-C:H films, with an excellent combination of high elastic recovery, low friction coefficient and good H/E ratio, were prepared by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique using the C2H2 gas as the precursor. The effect of C2H2 flow rate on the microstructure, phase composition, mechanical and tribological properties of nanocomposite nc-TiC/a-C:H films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), microindentation and tribotester measurements. It was observed that the C2H2 flow rate significantly affected the Ti content and hardness of films. Furthermore, by selecting the proper value for C2H2 flow rate, 20 sccm, one can deposit the nanocomposite film nc-TiC/a-C:H with excellent properties such as superhardness (66.4 GPa), high elastic recovery (83.3%) and high H/E ratio (0.13).
