description: Incorporating historical information in clinical trials has been of much interest recently because of its potential to reduce the size and cost of clinical trials. Data-conflict is one of the biggest challenges in incorporating historical information. In order to address the conflict between historical data and current data, several methods have been proposed including the robust meta-analytic-predictive (rMAP) prior method. In this article, we propose to modify the rMAP prior method by using an empirical Bayes approach to estimate the weights for the two components of the rMAP prior. Via numerical calculations, we show that this modification to the rMAP method improves its performance regarding multiple key metrics.

description: Developing sustainable, carbon-neutral, and climate-resilient districts seems to be particularly challenging with respect to historic city centers. However, barriers posed by legal requirements for historical buildings are counterbalanced by opportunities because historic cities have not undergone urban modernization and did not embrace the concept of functional cities, which nowadays impedes urban sustainability transformations. Thus, this paper focuses on the relationship between cultural heritage, urban sustainable development, and climate policy. We study continuity and change in the mid-sized UNESCO World Heritage cities Potsdam (Germany) and Bern (Switzerland). These matching forerunner cities share many characteristics, which enables them to transfer policies and jointly create new solutions for common problems. We find that national context matters, but we also identify functional equivalents like referenda and active citizen participation. Despite many similarities, Potsdam is ahead of Bern with respect to the institutionalization and integration of climate mitigation and adaptation. The comparative analysis (interviews and document analysis) identifies innovations that can be transferred between the two cities (e.g., Potsdam’s integrative climate policy or Bern’s efforts to become a role model for stakeholders and citizens). Moreover, the challenge to coordinate heritage management and climate governance offers chances for cooperation between matching cities like Bern and Potsdam
Electric vehicles powered with PV electricity as a new driver for photovoltaic s and EVs

description: EV’s should preferably use electricity from new renewable energy sources such as PV and wind. If not, the CO2 benefit is either minor or negligible. Using nuclear power plants for charging EV’s might lead to a bad image of EV’s. A close link to PV and wind power is therefore in the interest of the promoters of EV’s. The combination of renewables with EV’s is especially interesting, as EV’s can profit from very low electricity prices and other advantages of resulting in this combination. Using PV electricity to replace fossil fuels, a valuable resource, spilled by using it for inefficient processes, results in a big leverage effect. We can avoid the huge losses of those processes by replacing them with a highly efficient electric driven process. This increases the value of PV electricity even more. This is especially the case for a high number of consumers like heating and hot water systems using heat pumps. Heating systems are mainly running in the winter season –exactly when PV systems generate less overproduction. So the best new consumer for PV is the “electric vehicle EV” as its consumption matches much better with the production of electricity by PV. This leads to an additional advantage in the marketing for EV’s.

description: In modern statistics, interests shift from pursuing the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator to reducing mean squared error (MSE) or residual squared error. Shrinkage-based estimation and regression methods offer better prediction accuracy and improved interpretation. However, the characterization of such optimal statistics in terms of minimizing MSE remains open and challenging in many problems, for example, estimating the treatment effect in adaptive clinical trials with pre-planned modifications to design aspects based on accumulated data. From an alternative perspective, we propose a deep neural network based automatic method to construct an improved estimator from existing ones. Theoretical properties are studied to provide guidance on applicability of our estimator to seek potential improvement. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method has considerable finite-sample efficiency gain compared to several common estimators. In the Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT) as a motivating example, our ensemble estimator essentially contributes to a more ethical and efficient adaptive clinical trial with fewer patients enrolled. The proposed framework can be generally applied to various statistical problems, and can serve as a reference measure to guide statistical research.

description: Due to highly unmet medical needs in rare disease areas, there is great desire to speed up the drug development process. A two-stage adaptive design option for a placebo-controlled registration study is being evaluated. Stage 1 consists of participants in an ongoing phase 2 study with 1-year double blinded (DB) treatment and Stage 2 includes newly enrolled participants with 2-year DB treatment period. The primary endpoint is the annualized rate of change (slope) for a continuous longitudinal measurement, which will be evaluated through a random coefficient linear mixed model. An unblinded interim analysis will be performed using Stage 1 data to re-estimate the sample size for Stage 2, followed by another interim analysis for potential early efficacy stopping when all participants completed the 1-year DB treatment. To control the overall Type 1 error rate, rather than using a conservative approach, the actual correlation between the interim and final test statistics will be taken into account to determine the final significance level given the pre-specified significance level for the interim efficacy analysis. Multiplicity adjustments for secondary endpoints including considerations for order switching between interim and final analysis in this specific case study will also be discussed.

description: Purpose: Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) was recently shown to improve repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in cycling. This phenomenon is likely to reflect fiber type-dependent, compensatory vasodilation, and therefore, our hypothesis was that RSH is even more beneficial for activities involving upper body muscles, such as double poling during cross-country skiing. Methods: In a double-blinded fashion, 17 competitive cross-country skiers performed six sessions of repeated sprints (each consisting of four sets of five 10-s sprints, with 20-s intervals of recovery) either in normoxia (RSN, 300 m; FiO2, 20.9%; n = 8) or normobaric hypoxia (RSH, 3000 m; FiO2, 13.8 %; n = 9). Before (pre) and after (post) training, performance was evaluated with an RSA test (10-s all-out sprints-20-s recovery, until peak power output declined by 30%) and a simulated team sprint (team sprint, 3 × 3-min all-out with 3-min rest) on a double-poling ergometer. Triceps brachii oxygenation was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. Results: From pretraining to posttraining, peak power output in the RSA was increased (P < 0.01) to the same extent (29% ± 13% vs 26% ± 18%, nonsignificant) in RSH and in RSN whereas the number of sprints performed was enhanced in RSH (10.9 ± 5.2 vs 17.1 ± 6.8, P < 0.01) but not in RSN (11.6 ± 5.3 vs 11.7 ± 4.3, nonsignificant). In addition, the amplitude in total hemoglobin variations during sprints throughout RSA rose more in RSH (P < 0.01). Similarly, the average power output during all team sprints improved by 11% ± 9% in RSH and 15% ± 7% in RSN. Conclusions: Our findings reveal greater improvement in the performance of repeated double-poling sprints, together with larger variations in the perfusion of upper body muscles in RSH compared with those in RSN.

description: A current challenge in laser processing is high precision micromachining of transparent materials, e.g. to manufacture micro-optical elements. This can be achieved amongst others by using laser induced backside wet etching. Research has been done by several groups in the last years. Most of the published results were obtained by using UV excimer lasers. Our approach deals withthe implementation of the technique for NIR laser sources. We investigated the effects of different pulse widths and repetitionrates on laser induced back side wet etching for 1064nm wavelength and for different absorbers.

Multinational Corporations and Social Responsibility

description: Non-governmental organisations often accuse multinational corporations of exploiting the various legal environments in different countries to their advantage in order to avoid the assumption of responsibility for human rights violations or environmental disasters. This empirical study shows that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can, by employing various instruments, increase the likelihood of multinational corporations accepting social and environmental responsibility for their actions. These instruments, ranging from dialogue to scandalisation, are intended to influence corporate behaviour and their use depends on the pressure the NGO wishes to exert on a particular company. All instruments need careful research and the gathering of evidence, including witness statements. To gain public attention the information must be well prepared for the media, resonate in the corporation’s domestic market, stimulate concern and be up-to-date. The most promising activities are those that emphasise that economic success could be compromised to the key decision makers within the company.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented research effort to develop vaccines and therapeutics. Urgency dictated that development and regulatory assessment were accelerated, while maintaining all standards for quality, safety and efficacy. To speed up evaluation the European Medicines Agency (EMA) implemented “rolling reviews” allowing developers to submit data for assessment as they became available. We discuss the clinical trial designs and the applied statistical approaches in vaccine efficacy trials, focusing on aspects such as multiple testing, interim and updated analyses, and reporting of results for the first four vaccines recommended for approval by the EMA. The fast accrual of COVID-19 cases in the clinical vaccine efficacy trials led to multiple data updates within a short time frame, which had consequences for the evaluation and interpretation of results. Key trial results are discussed in the light of these aspects. Notably, the aspects discussed did not affect the benefit/risk relationship in a meaningful way, which was clearly positive for all four vaccines. Assessment of the development and evaluation of the four vaccine trials during the pandemic has led to a proposal for standardised terminology for trials with multiple analyses and a recommendation to appropriately pre-plan the timing of primary and updated analyses. For the reporting of updated estimates of vaccine efficacy, we discuss how to best describe the uncertainty around estimates of vaccine efficacy (e.g., via confidence intervals). Finally, we briefly highlight the benefit of a comprehensive discussion on estimands for vaccine efficacy trials.

description: Accelerating anti-globalization challenges previously undisputed assumptions about the importance of a product’s globalness/localness in purchase decisions. Putting these assumptions to test, we conceptualize globalness/localness as a distinct product attribute and decompose its utility into weight and preference components. Subsequently, we offer an equity-theory-based prediction of the attribute’s declining relevance and quantify its tradeoffs with other attributes by calculating global/local price premiums. Conjoint experiments in two countries (Austria-India) reveal that (1) emerging (developed) market consumers exhibit relative preference for global (local) products, (2) emerging market consumers perceive higher preference inequity between global and local products than developed market consumers, and (3) the corresponding inequity triggers consumers’ cognitive inequity regulation (manifested through attribute trivialization in developed markets) and behavioral inequity regulation (manifested through asymmetrical willingness to pay for global/local products across developed/emerging markets). We also find that attribute trivialization and price premium tolerance are moderated by consumers’ spatial identities and price segment. The findings contribute to the theoretical debate on the relevance of product globalness/localness in de-globalizing times and inform competitive strategy, segmentation-targeting-positioning, and international pricing decisions.

description: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose great risks to human health and the ecosystem, necessitating effective remediation strategies such as phytoremediation. Surfactants, due to their ability to increase the bioavailability of hydrophobic contaminants, are considered as potential agents to improve phytoremediation for PFAS. In this research, we explored the impact of four surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), rhamnolipid, Triton X-100, and Glucopone 600 CS UP) on plant growth and the uptake of PFAS by red fescue over 110 days. The results showed that while surfactants at lower concentrations did not negatively affect plant growth, the highest dose (2,500 mg/kg) significantly reduced the dry weight of plant shoots. Although none of the four surfactants led to an increased overall removal efficiency of ∑PFAS by red fescue over 110 days, SDS did enhance the uptake of PFAS compounds with long carbon chain lengths. With SDS addition at 2,500 mg/kg, the average fold increases of long chain PFAS removal were 1.99 for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), 2.44 for perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), 2.11 for perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), 1.52 for perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnA), 1.88 for perfluorohexanesulphonic acid (PFHxS), and 2.97 for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The research indicated that using surfactants, such as SDS at appropriate doses could improve phytoremediation effectiveness in mitigating long-chain PFAS, which is a known challenge in soil remediation. This study proposed an approach to accelerate plant uptake and removal of long chain PFAS. The improved removal of long chain PFAS coupled with less plant biomass by amending soil with SDS at a proper dose potentially increases the attractiveness of phytoremediation.

description: Application of microbial agents is a novel strategy to improve the quality and health of plant, which can be used to increase zinc (Zn) uptake and alleviate Zn toxicity. Here, endophytic bacteria with Zn solubilizing and growth-promoting properties were isolated from hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) of Sedum alfredii Hance and their effects on Zn absorption and accumulation of non-hyperaccumulating ecotype (NHE) were studied. The results showed that most endophytic bacteria of HE have good Zn solubilizing or growth-promoting properties. Under the condition of 20 μM ZnSO4, the biomass of NHE inoculated with SaPS1, SaEN2, SaPR2, SaBA2, SaBA3 was 2.8–3.2 times higher than that of non-inoculation control, and the Zn concentration of shoots was increased by 45.9, 89.0, 53.7, 77.5, and 42.6% after inoculation with SaPA1, SaP1, SaEN2, SaBA1, and SaBA2. Under the condition of 100 μM ZnSO4, inoculation with SaVA1, SaPS3, SaB1, SaPR1, and SaEN3 alleviated Zn stress and significantly reduced Zn concentration of shoots. Therefore, endophytic bacteria can be an effective means of improving plant Zn nutrition quality in the normal condition and benefit plant health in the stress environment. In this study, endophytes with Zn solubilizing properties were systematically isolated from Zn hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance. The aim is to identify endophyte resources with good promoting effect on plant growth and Zn uptake, and to provide scientific basis for the development of efficient biofortified agent.

description: Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are natural solutions for purifying polluted water, providing a green surface area and improving city landscape. This study investigated if the efficiency of FTWs can be improved by aeration for treating contaminated canal water. The three used plant species were Canna generalis, Phragmites australis, and Cyperus alternifolius. The experiment was carried out in three FTWs with aeration and three without aeration to compare the removal for COD, NH4+-N, E. coli, PO43−-P, and Fe. In the aerated FTWs, air blowers were installed to run at two different air flow rates of 2.5 L min−1 (Batch 1) and 1.0 L min−1 (Batch 2). Aeration increased the dissolved oxygen concentrations in each tank, which came over 6.5 mg L−1 in both batches. This study sheds light on the positive impact of aeration has on COD and NH4+-N removal: these are nearly three-fold higher compared to non-aeration conditions and reached approximately 99% (1.7-log reduction) for E. coli removal. Additionally, the plant growth rate in the aerated FTWs was higher than in the non-aerated ones. The average shoot growth rate of Phragmites australis was 0.76 cm d−1 for the aerated FTW which was two-fold higher compared to the non-aerated one. This article investigates the treatment performance of Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) coupled with aeration to reduce the diffuse pollution in canal water. The results showed that the aeration enhanced the treatment of organics and nutrients, and the plant growth of the aerated FTWs was two-fold higher than that of non-aerated FTWs, which has a phytoremediation potential for treating canal water in Ho Chi Minh city

description: Many United States (U.S.) communities face challenges with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workforce turnover. The demands created by the pandemic have worsened the stressors EMS clinicians face, possibly changing the drivers of workforce turnover. Our study aims to understand the factors associated with Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and paramedics’ likelihood of leaving EMS. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of nationally registered civilian EMTs and paramedics ages 18–85 from October 2021 to April 2022. After recertifying their National EMS certification, respondents were invited to complete a survey regarding their primary role, additional jobs, and the likelihood of leaving EMS in the next 12 months. If likely to leave, reasons for leaving were collected and evaluated for the top reasons. Multivariable logistic regression modeling (OR, 95% CI) was used to describe the odds of being likely to leave in 12 months, adjusted for age, agency type, education level, primary role, and job satisfaction. A total of 29,671 (response rate-25.9%) EMTs and paramedics were included in the analysis, with 7.1% and 7.9%, respectively, reporting they were likely to leave EMS in 12 months. The EMTs likely to leave were younger (median age 32 vs. 37) and had fewer years with main EMS job (median 3 vs. 4) than paramedics. A lower proportion of EMTs were male (68.8% vs. 78.6%) and non-Hispanic White (79.8% vs. 87.6%). The EMTs were less likely full-time (65.6% vs. 87.5%) and held fewer EMS jobs (23.4% vs. 32.3%). The EMTs and paramedics reported stress as the most significant reason for leaving (27.9% and 38.8%, respectively), followed by COVID-19 (12.9% and 19.3%) and education (18.3% and 6.4%). Those dissatisfied had significantly higher odds of leaving (11.91 and 13.46, respectively). The EMTs and paramedics in hospitals (OR = 2.32, OR = 2.37), private (OR = 2.72, OR = 2.38), and government non-fire (OR = 2.22, OR = 1.98) agencies were likelier to leave than fire agencies. Although increased stress and pandemic-related factors are most common reasons reported for being likely to leave EMS, job dissatisfaction was the most impactful factor. A better understanding of factors that drive job satisfaction needs evaluation to develop strategies to enhance retention.

description: Commercial microalgae production is often interrupted by contamination, leading to short production cycles, reinoculation needs, and culture collapses, significantly increasing costs. This study focuses on investigating Recirculated Sedimentation Application (RSA) to control contamination in microalgae culture systems used for wastewater treatment. Chlorella vulgaris culture was grown in an unsterilized mixture of tertiary treatment effluent and centrate of anaerobic digestion wastewater sludge over a 90-day experimental period. 60 L raceway reactor was operated under a light intensity of 275 μM m−2.s−1 with a 16:8 h light-dark photoperiod. To evaluate the effect of RSA on biological-based problems, the experiment was conducted in three phases. The benefits of utilizing RSA were established through the following observations: effective removal of contaminants at an acceptable level without releasing the culture; extension of the biofilm formation time on the inner walls; inhibition of heterotrophic bacteria and nitrification; enhancement of the suspended solids retention capacity of the raceway tank (up to 770 mg.L−1); and improvement in ammonium removal rate to approximately 30 mg.L−1d−1. The ideal salinity level for both ammonium removal and biomass concentration in RSA should be below 0.02%. These findings demonstrate the potential of phycoremediation for sustainable wastewater treatment and contribute to environmental bioremediation strategies. This study investigates the effects of recirculated sedimentation using freshly formed and mature algae, based on settleability differences, for microalgae cultivation in open ponds with unsterilized wastewater, with the aim of maintain a stable and productive biomass community. Additionally, this study contributes to expand the current knowledge on several fronts: including removing contaminants without discharging the culture, improving biomass holding capacity of the reactor, reducing biofilm formation on reactor walls, suppressing bacterial growth in the culture media and enhancing ammonium removal rate. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been no previous studies to evaluate the effectiveness of sedimentation for these purposes.
