description: Some 170 organic pigments relevant to artist's paints have been collected from historic collections and modern manufacturers. The number includes multiples of the same pigment from different sources and comprises 118 different color indices (C.I.). All of them have been analysed with FTIR spectroscopy and 125 pigments (93 different C.I. No.s) of particular relevance to artist's paints have been characterised with Raman spectroscopy so far. The pigment collection encompasses the following pigment classes and subgroups: monoazo pigments represented by acetoacetic arylide yellow (hansa yellow), beta-naphthol, BON, naphthol AS and benzimidazolone: disazo pigments with disazo condensation, diarylide, bisacetoacetarylide, pyrazolone; azo-azoniethin metal complex pigments; non-azo, polycyclic pigments Such as phthalocyanines, diketopyrrolo-pyrroles (DPP), perylenes and perinones, quinacridones, isoindolitiones, polycarbocyclic anthraquiriones and dioxanines. The selection of references was based on availability (historic collections) and Current use in 16 acrylic, alkyd and oil-based artist's paints, and it covers pigment colors PY yellow (27 C.I. No.s), PR red (38), PO orange (9), PB blue (8), PV violet (6). PG green (3) and PBr brown (2). Besides peak tables and spectra patterns, flow charts based on color, pigment class, group and individual color index are presented to help identification of unknowns and mixed paint samples. While Raman could isolate all different C.I. numbers, Multiple references of the same C.I. from different sources could not be distinguished. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All Fights reserved.

description: Interventions aimed at reducing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable development in tropical forest frontiers generally fail to match the realities that smallholder farmers in disadvantaged contexts face when making land-use decisions. To transform frontiers into resilient landscapes, the integration of all stakeholders and a common understanding of diverse perspectives is crucial. To bridge the knowledge and perspective gap between decision-makers, practitioners, and rural communities in tropical forest frontiers, we developed an innovative tool based on serious games. Our game is based on a case study of smallholder farmers in the Peruvian Amazon and simulates local socio-ecological dynamics allowing for reflection and collective learning among participants. By testing our tool in diverse settings, it has been observed that our game facilitates extensive reflections and dialogues, allowing participants to better understand and reflect on the difficulties of making sustainable land use decisions in challenging contexts. It also highlights the need to consider collective decision-making processes, in addition to the opportunities offered by adopting an agroecological transition approach. Future developments of our tool include the systematization of game sessions through data collection and adaptation to different contexts and settings, while maintaining a balance between levels of playability and the simulation of complex realities.

description: Digital holographic speckle pattern interferometry (DHSPI) is a tool that retrieves the mechanical reaction of a work of art after a shock or vibration, perhaps as a result of mishandling. It provides a method for the assessment of the impact of transportation and reliable risk analysis. In order to assess the effect of handling and transportation on canvas paintings, an investigation was conducted at Bern University of Applied Sciences, University of the Arts, Conservation and Restoration employing DHSPI. Samples of canvas were used for a series of measurements simulating transportation vibrations. The surface deformation topology of the samples was studied with DHSPI in order to acquire information about all the alterations caused on the canvas samples by the vibration ‘fatigue’ (i.e. the repeated deformation due to vibration). Crack maps, provided by analysis of the DHSPI measurements, illustrate the crack growth with time. Risk areas, located before any vibration loading, also proved to be those most likely to develop cracks. The tests of the transportation of canvas paintings have been successful in detecting cracks and areas with defects, and also in monitoring their propagation with high precision.

description: Current efforts to characterize movers and identify predictors of moving have been limited. We used the ARIC cohort to characterize non-movers, short-distance movers, and long-distance movers, and employed best subset algorithms to identify important predictors of moving, including interactions between characteristics. Short- and long-distance movers were notably different from non-movers, and important predictors of moving differed based on the distance of the residential move. Importantly, systematic inclusion of interaction terms enhanced model fit and was substantively meaningful. This work has important implications for epidemiologic studies of contextual exposures and those treating residential mobility as an exposure.

description: A timber bridge constructed in 1815 was renovated in 2018, wherein the load-bearing system was reinforced with beech laminated veneer lumber (LVL) elements. Beech LVL is primarily found in dry and heated structures (Service Class 1). Although the material of this bridge would not be directly exposed to weather, it would be exposed to outdoor relative humidity ranging between 50% in spring and 90% or higher in autumn (Service Class 2). Thus, the moisture content development in the reinforcements was monitored to observe the response of the material under such conditions. The moisture content was measured using both sorptive and electrical resistance methods. The relationship between the electrical resistance of the material to moisture content and sorption isotherms was determined through laboratory experiments. Thereafter, the derived relationships were used to determine the moisture content measured on the bridge over a period of two years. Consequently, the two measurement methods resulted in overlapping of moisture content values, which remained within safe levels and are expected to be maintained in future. The overlapping moisture content measurements validated that either of the monitoring methods could be independently deployed to obtain reliable results.

description: Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), the age-related expansion of mutant hematopoietic stem cells, confers risk for multiple diseases of aging including hematologic cancer and cardiovascular disease. Whole-exome or genome sequencing can detect CHIP, but due to those assays’ high cost, most population studies have been cross-sectional, sequencing only a single timepoint per individual. Results: We developed and validated a cost-effective single molecule molecular inversion probe sequencing (smMIPS) assay for detecting CHIP, targeting the 11 most frequently mutated genes in CHIP along with 4 recurrent mutational hotspots. We sequenced 548 multi-timepoint samples collected from 182 participants in the Women’s Health Initiative cohort, across a median span of 16 years. We detected 178 driver mutations reaching variant allele frequency ≥ 2% in at least one timepoint, many of which were detectable well below this threshold at earlier timepoints. The majority of clonal mutations (52.1%) expanded over time (with a median doubling period of 7.43 years), with the others remaining static or decreasing in size in the absence of any cytotoxic therapy. Conclusions: Targeted smMIPS sequencing can sensitively measure clonal dynamics in CHIP. Mutations that reached the conventional threshold for CHIP (2% frequency) tended to continue growing, indicating that after CHIP is acquired, it is generally not lost. The ability to cost-effectively profile CHIP longitudinally will enable future studies to investigate why some CHIP clones expand, and how their dynamics relate to health outcomes at a biobank scale.

description: Longitudinal studies can help us understand the effects of long-term neighborhood changes, as these can capture individual self-appraisal of current and future circumstances. We analyzed the association between neighborhood changes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes among older women from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study. We used a subset (n = 49,254) of the longitudinal WHI dataset of female participants, aged 50–79 at baseline, recruited from 40 clinical centers across the U.S. beginning in 1993. Two HRQoL outcomes were explored: self-rated quality of life (SRQoL), and physical functioning-related quality of life (PFQoL). We used U.S. census tract-level changes in median household income between the 2000 census and 2007–2011 American Community Survey to classify neighborhoods as “upgrading,” “declining,” or “stable.” Multi-level models were used to identify significant associations between neighborhood change and HRQoL outcomes over time. Compared to participants residing in upgrading neighborhoods, participants in stable and declining neighborhoods reported significantly lower PFQoL. A significant interaction was observed with income such that the effect of neighborhood change was greater at lower levels of income.

Description and diagnosis: As mentioned for the previous new species, members of the genus are similar in general appearance. Thus, the generic description can be applied to all species for certain features of the head, thorax and abdomen (Figures 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 27, 28, 31; Tables 1–5). To avoid repetition, a detailed description is not presented here.
The new species B. balikesirensis sp. n. well differs from the other two by typical male cercus (tooth is near to middle in the first while in the beginning of apical 1/ 3 in the second; compare Figure 9 with 8 and 10). The male calling song consists of regular echemes including 10–26 (mean 18) syllables is another prominent diagnostic characteristic of B. balikesirensis sp. n. (Figure 28), distinguishing it from B. bursaensis sp. n. (B. turkiyae is unknown for the song). In addition to morphology, the new species that corresponds to PG 2 in the phylogenetic tree (Figure 2) can be well distinguished from the other two by 71 unique mutations (Figure 31). The high net pairwise distances and F ST values with other phylogroups also support its distinctness as a species (Table 3). This species seems to be restricted to the Kazdagları Mts in Balıkesir Province of Turkey (Figure 1).
Etymology: The new species Bolua balikesirensis was recorded from Kazdağları Mts located in Balıkesir Province of Turkey.

description: Importance: Identifying modifiable risk factors that are associated with dementia burden across racial and ethnic groups in the population can yield insights into the potential effectiveness of interventions in preventing dementia and reducing disparities. Objective: To calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of dementia associated with 12 established modifiable risk factors for all US adults, as well as separately by race and ethnicity. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study used survey data from nationally representative samples of US adults. PAFs were calculated using relative risks and prevalence estimates for 12 risk factors. Relative risks were taken from meta-analyses, as reported in a 2020 systematic review. Prevalence estimates for risk factors were derived from nationally representative cross-sectional survey data collected between 2011 and 2018. Combined PAFs were adjusted for risk factor communality using weights derived from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (1987-2018). Analyses were conducted May through October 2021. Exposures: Low education, hearing loss, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, smoking, depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, diabetes, and air pollution. Main Outcomes and Measures: PAF for each dementia risk factor, a combined PAF, and the decrease in the number of prevalent dementia cases in 2020 that would be expected given a 15% proportional decrease in each exposure. Results: Among all US adults, an estimated 41.0% (95% CI, 22.7%-55.9%) of dementia cases were attributable to 12 risk factors. A 15% proportional decrease in each risk factor would reduce dementia prevalence in the population by an estimated 7.3% (95% CI, 3.7%-10.9%). The estimated PAF was greater for Black and Hispanic than it was for White and Asian individuals. The greatest attributable fraction of dementia cases was observed for hypertension (PAF, 20.2%; 95% CI, 6.3%-34.4%), obesity (PAF, 20.9%; 95% CI, 13.0%-28.8%), and physical inactivity (PAF, 20.1%; 95% CI, 9.1%-29.6%). These factors were also highest within each racial and ethnic group, although the proportions varied. Conclusions and Relevance: A large fraction of dementia cases in the US were associated with potentially modifiable risk factors, especially for Black and Hispanic individuals. Targeting and reducing these risk factors may curb the projected rise in dementia cases over the next several decades.

description: The WHI (Women's Health Initiative) enrolled 161,808 racially and ethnically diverse postmenopausal women, ages 50-79 years, from 1993 to 1998 at 40 clinical centers across the United States. In its clinical trial component, WHI evaluated 3 randomized interventions (menopausal hormone therapy; diet modification; and calcium/vitamin D supplementation) for the primary prevention of major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, in older women. In the WHI observational study, numerous clinical, behavioral, and social factors have been evaluated as predictors of incident chronic disease and mortality. Although the original interventions have been completed, the WHI data and biomarker resources continue to be leveraged and expanded through ancillary studies to yield novel insights regarding cardiovascular disease prevention and healthy aging in women.

description: Background: Epigenetic age acceleration (AgeAccel), which indicates faster biological aging relative to chronological age, has been associated with lower cognitive function. However, the association of AgeAccel with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia is not well-understood. We examined associations of 4 AgeAccel measures with incident MCI and dementia. Methods: This prospective analysis included 578 older women from the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study selected for a case-cohort study of coronary heart disease (CHD). Women were free of CHD and cognitive impairment at baseline. Associations of AgeAccel measures (intrinsic AgeAccel [IEAA], extrinsic AgeAccel [EEAA], AgeAccelPheno, and AgeAccelGrim) with risks for incident adjudicated diagnoses of MCI and dementia overall and stratified by incident CHD status were evaluated. Results: IEAA was not significantly associated with MCI (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.99-1.53), dementia (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.88-1.38), or cognitive impairment (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.99-1.40). In stratified analysis by incident CHD status, there was a 39% (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07-1.81) significantly higher risk of MCI for every 5-year increase in IEAA among women who developed CHD during follow-up. Other AgeAccel measures were not significantly associated with MCI or dementia. Conclusions: IEAA was not significantly associated with cognitive impairment overall but was associated with impairment among women who developed CHD. Larger studies designed to examine associations of AgeAccel with cognitive impairment are needed, including exploration of whether associations are stronger in the setting of underlying vascular pathologies.

description: Peer-to-Peer-Dienstleistungsplattformen (P2P-Plattformen) stellen eine besondere Form von Dienstleistungsplattformen dar, die z. B. Geschäftsmodelle der Sharing Economy in seiner heutigen Form ermöglichen. Als Reaktion auf den aktuell herr- schenden Begriffsdschungel rund um Sharing Economy und Dienstleistungsplatt- formen im Allgemeinen werden zunächst Begrifflichkeiten geklärt, bevor Aspekte des gesellschaftlichen Wandels diskutiert werden. Aufgrund iterativer Wechsel- wirkungen zwischen Sozialstrukturen und sozialen Akteuren werden die technischen, sozialen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Aspekte des gesellschaftlichen Wandels sowohl als Folge als auch als Vorbedingungen für das Aufkommen von P2P-Platt- formen betrachtet. Abschließend werden in einem dritten Teil Chancen und Heraus- forderungen diskutiert, die sich aktuell und zukünftig durch P2P-Plattformen für die Gesellschaft ergeben. Dabei ist festzustellen, dass viele Aspekte sowohl Chancen als auch Herausforderungen mit sich bringen, die entsprechend abzuwägen sind.

description: Age-related changes to the genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) pattern observed in blood are well-documented. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), characterized by the age-related acquisition and expansion of leukemogenic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), is associated with blood cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD). Epigenetic regulators DNMT3A and TET2 are the two most frequently mutated CHIP genes. Here, we present results from an epigenome-wide association study for CHIP in 582 Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) participants, with replication in 2655 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants. We show that DNMT3A and TET2 CHIP have distinct and directionally opposing genome-wide DNAm association patterns consistent with their regulatory roles, albeit both promoting self-renewal of HSCs. Mendelian randomization analyses indicate that a subset of DNAm alterations associated with these two leading CHIP genes may promote the risk for CAD.

description: Muscle parameters are recommended as diagnostic criteria for malnutrition and sarcopenia in various guidelines. However, little is known about the application of muscle parameters in daily practice of nutritional care. The aim of this study was to investigate the current practice of the application of muscle parameters, along with its promoting factors and barriers by dietitians in Switzerland. A 29-item literature-based online survey was developed and distributed via the Swiss professional association of dietitians. The data were analyzed descriptively, and relationships between demographic data and usage were examined. Dietitians (n = 117) from all three language regions completed the survey and were included in the analysis. Musculature was classified as important for the assessment of nutritional status. Body weight (89.7%), handgrip strength (87.2%), bioimpedance analysis (BIA) (87.1%) and Body Mass Index (66.7%) were considered as most significant for evaluation of nutritional status. Seventy-point nine percent (70.9%) of dietitians include at least one muscle parameter in their assessment; BIA was the parameter most often included (73.5%). However, the frequency of use of muscle parameter in daily practice was rather low. Only 23.1% applied BIA on a weekly basis. Lack of knowledge (78.6%), practical experience (71.8%) and lack of equipment (77.8%) were most frequently stated as barriers for usage. The general application of muscle parameters in nutritional care is still lacking. There is an opportunity to further strengthen diagnosis and patient monitoring via a stronger application of muscle parameters in daily practice. Practical training and education could help promote their application.

description: Standing deadwood is an important attribute of old-growth boreal forests and it provides essential microhabitats for deadwood-associated species. In managed boreal forests, short rotations tend to limit the amount and diversity of standing deadwood. This study evaluates if the anthropogenic supply of deadwood attributes through tree girdling or by providing nest boxes may favor deadwood-associated species. We studied the short-term response of saproxylic beetles, foraging woodpeckers, and secondary cavity users to snag and cavity supply in 50 to 70-year-old black spruce stands. In spring 2015, we girdled 8000 black spruce according to two spatial distributions (uniform and clustered), and we also installed 450 nest boxes of six different sizes at three distances from the forest edge. Using trunk window traps, we captured significantly more beetles in sites with girdled trees than in control sites in both 2015 and 2016. We also recorded a trend of a greater abundance of beetles in clusters of girdled trees than within uniformly distributed girdled trees. Trypodendron lineatum (Oliver) dominated beetle assemblages, representing 88.5% of all species in 2015 and 74.6% in 2016. The number of beetles captured was 7× higher in 2015 than in 2016. In contrast, we observed greater amounts of woodpecker foraging marks in fall 2016 than in either fall 2015 or spring 2016. Woodpeckers foraged significantly more in clusters of girdled trees than within uniformly distributed girdled trees. Woodpeckers’ foraging mark presence was positively associated with the proportion of recent cuts at 1 km around the study sites. Five Boreal Chickadee (Poecile hudsonicus Forster) pairs used nest boxes and occupied smaller box sizes that were located away from the forest edge. Our study showed that structural enrichment can be effective in rapidly attracting deadwood-associated species within managed forest stands.
