Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the development of neutron-tagging techniques in Super-Kamiokande IV using a neural network analysis. The detection efficiency of neutron capture on hydrogen is estimated to be 26%, with a mis-tag rate of 0.016 per neutrino event. The uncertainty of the tagging efficiency is estimated to be 9.0%. Measurement of the tagging efficiency with data from an Americium-Beryllium calibration agrees with this value within 10%. The tagging procedure was performed on 3,244.4 days of SK-IV atmospheric neutrino data, identifying 18,091 neutrons in 26,473 neutrino events. The fitted neutron capture lifetime was measured as 218 +/- 9 mu s.

- Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative flux at the global scale, transpiration and its response to environmental drivers are currently not well constrained by observations. Here we introduce the first global compilation of whole-plant transpiration data from sap flow measurements (SAPFLUXNET, https://sapfluxnet.creaf.cat/, last access: 8 June 2021). We harmonized and quality-controlled individual datasets supplied by contributors worldwide in a semi-automatic data workflow implemented in the R programming language. Datasets include sub-daily time series of sap flow and hydrometeorological drivers for one or more growing seasons, as well as metadata on the stand characteristics, plant attributes, and technical details of the measurements. SAPFLUXNET contains 202 globally distributed datasets with sap flow time series for 2714 plants, mostly trees, of 174 species. SAPFLUXNET has a broad bioclimatic coverage, with woodland/shrubland and temperate forest biomes especially well represented (80 % of the datasets). The measurements cover a wide variety of stand structural characteristics and plant sizes. The datasets encompass the period between 1995 and 2018, with 50 % of the datasets being at least 3 years long. Accompanying radiation and vapour pressure deficit data are available for most of the datasets, while on-site soil water content is available for 56 % of the datasets. Many datasets contain data for species that make up 90 % or more of the total stand basal area, allowing the estimation of stand transpiration in diverse ecological settings. SAPFLUXNET adds to existing plant trait datasets, ecosystem flux networks, and remote sensing products to help increase our understanding of plant water use, plant responses to drought, and ecohydrological processes. SAPFLUXNET version 0.1.5 is freely available from the Zenodo repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3971689; Poyatos et al., 2020a). The "sapfluxnetr" R package - designed to access, visualize, and process SAPFLUXNET data - is available from CRAN.

Play, Learn, and Teach Outdoors—Network (PLaTO-Net) : terminology, taxonomy, and ontology
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity. - : BioMed Central (BMC). - 1479-5868. ; 19:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: A recent dialogue in the field of play, learn, and teach outdoors (referred to as “PLaTO” hereafter) demonstrated the need for developing harmonized and consensus-based terminology, taxonomy, and ontology for PLaTO. This is important as the field evolves and diversifies in its approaches, contents, and contexts over time and in different countries, cultures, and settings. Within this paper, we report the systematic and iterative processes undertaken to achieve this objective, which has built on the creation of the global PLaTO-Network (PLaTO-Net). Methods: This project comprised of four major methodological phases. First, a systematic scoping review was conducted to identify common terms and definitions used pertaining to PLaTO. Second, based on the results of the scoping review, a draft set of key terms, taxonomy, and ontology were developed, and shared with PLaTO members, who provided feedback via four rounds of consultation. Third, PLaTO terminology, taxonomy, and ontology were then finalized based on the feedback received from 50 international PLaTO member participants who responded to ≥ 3 rounds of the consultation survey and dialogue. Finally, efforts to share and disseminate project outcomes were made through different online platforms. Results: This paper presents the final definitions and taxonomy of 31 PLaTO terms along with the PLaTO-Net ontology model. The model incorporates other relevant concepts in recognition that all the aspects of the model are interrelated and interconnected. The final terminology, taxonomy, and ontology are intended to be applicable to, and relevant for, all people encompassing various identities (e.g., age, gender, culture, ethnicity, ability). Conclusions: This project contributes to advancing PLaTO-based research and facilitating intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration, with the long-term goal of fostering and strengthening PLaTO’s synergistic linkages with healthy living, environmental stewardship, climate action, and planetary health agendas. Notably, PLaTO terminology, taxonomy and ontology will continue to evolve, and PLaTO-Net is committed to advancing and periodically updating harmonized knowledge and understanding in the vast and interrelated areas of PLaTO.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: A long-term prospective observational safety study is essential to characterize fully the safety profile of systemic immunomodulating therapies for patients with atopic eczema. The TREatment of ATopic eczema (TREAT) Registry Taskforce offers a large platform to conduct such research using national registries that collect the same data using a predefined core dataset. Objectives: To present a protocol for a safety study comparing dupilumab with other systemic immunomodulating therapies in children and adults with moderate-to-severe atopic eczema, to assess the long-term safety risk of these therapies in a routine clinical care setting. Methods: We describe a registry-embedded international observational prospective cohort study. Adult and paediatric patients who start treatment with dupilumab or another systemic immunomodulating agent for their atopic eczema will be included. The primary end point is the incidence of malignancies (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) compared between the treatment groups. Secondary end points include other serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest, such as eye disorders and eosinophilia. Conclusions: This protocol delineates a safety study for dupilumab in adult and paediatric patients with atopic eczema, using a standardized methodological approach across several national registries. The protocol could also be used for other novel systemic immunomodulating therapies, and could provide licensing and reimbursement authorities, pharmaceutical companies and clinicians with safety evidence from a routine clinical care setting. What's already known about this topic?. There is a need for long-term data on the safety of systemic immunomodulating therapies in patients with atopic eczema. Regulatory bodies, such as the European Medicines Agency, increasingly stipulate the collection of such data as part of the licensing agreement for new treatments, to assess the new agent's long-term safety profile against established therapies. Large numbers of patients with a long duration of follow-up are necessary in order to detect rare events like malignancies. What does this study add?. The TREAT Registry Taskforce offers a platform to conduct such research with a network of multiple national atopic eczema research registries. We present a protocol for an investigator-initiated multicentre safety study comparing dupilumab with other systemic immunomodulating therapies in adults and subsequently adolescents and children with moderate-to-severe atopic eczema. This protocol can be used as a framework for similar studies for other novel systemic immunomodulating therapies across both adult and paediatric populations.

- The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us many things, among the most important of which is that vaccines are one of the cornerstones of public health that help make modern longevity possible. While several different vaccines have been successful at stemming the morbidity and mortality associated with various infectious diseases, many pathogens/diseases remain recalcitrant to the development of effective vaccination. Recent advances in vaccine technology, immunology, structural biology, and other fields may yet yield insight that will address these diseases; they may also help improve societies' preparedness for future pandemics. On June 1-4, 2022, experts in vaccinology from academia, industry, and government convened for the Keystone symposium "Progress in Vaccine Development for Infectious Diseases" to discuss state-of-the-art technologies, recent advancements in understanding vaccine-mediated immunity, and new aspects of antigen design to aid vaccine effectiveness.

- Anion redox reactions offer a means of enhancing the capacity of layered sodium transition metal oxide positive electrode materials. However, oxygen redox reactions typically show limited reversibility and irreversible structural changes upon cycling, resulting in rapid capacity loss. Here, the Ti-substituted Na-4/7[1/7Ti1/7Mn5/7]O-2 (where represents a transition metal vacancy) is presented as a positive electrode material for sodium-ion batteries. Na-4/7[1/7Ti1/7Mn5/7]O-2 delivers a reversible capacity of 167 mA h g(-1) after 25 cycles at 10 mA g(-1) within the voltage range of 1.6-4.4 V and presents enhanced stability compared with Na-4/7[Mn-1/7(6/7)]O-2 over the voltage range 3.0-4.4 V. The structural and electronic structural changes of this Ti4+ substituted phase are investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance and Raman spectroscopy, supported by density functional theory calculations. These results show that the Na-4/7[Mn-1/7(6/7)]O-2 structure is maintained between 3.0 and 4.4 V, and the presence of TiO6 octahedra in Na-4/7[1/7Ti1/7Mn5/7]O-2 relieves structural distortions from Jahn-Teller distorted Mn3+O6 between 1.6 and 4.4 V. Furthermore, Ti4+ substitution stabilises the adjacent O 2p orbitals and raises the ionicity of the Mn-O bonds, increasing the operating potential of Na-4/7[1/7Ti1/7Mn5/7]O-2. Thereby providing evidence that the improved electrochemical performance of Na-4/7[1/7Ti1/7Mn5/7]O-2 can be attributed to Ti4+ substitution. This work provides insight and strategies for improving the structural stability and electrochemical performance of sodium layered oxides.

- Increasing concerns regarding the sustainability of lithium sources, due to their limited availability and consequent expected price increase, have raised awareness of the importance of developing alternative energy-storage candidates that can sustain the ever-growing energy demand. Furthermore, limitations on the availability of the transition metals used in the manufacturing of cathode materials, together with questionable mining practices, are driving development towards more sustainable elements. Given the uniformly high abundance and cost-effectiveness of sodium, as well as its very suitable redox potential (close to that of lithium), sodium-ion battery technology offers tremendous potential to be a counterpart to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in different application scenarios, such as stationary energy storage and low-cost vehicles. This potential is reflected by the major investments that are being made by industry in a wide variety of markets and in diverse material combinations. Despite the associated advantages of being a drop-in replacement for LIBs, there are remarkable differences in the physicochemical properties between sodium and lithium that give rise to different behaviours, for example, different coordination preferences in compounds, desolvation energies, or solubility of the solid-electrolyte interphase inorganic salt components. This demands a more detailed study of the underlying physical and chemical processes occurring in sodium-ion batteries and allows great scope for groundbreaking advances in the field, from lab-scale to scale-up. This roadmap provides an extensive review by experts in academia and industry of the current state of the art in 2021 and the different research directions and strategies currently underway to improve the performance of sodium-ion batteries. The aim is to provide an opinion with respect to the current challenges and opportunities, from the fundamental properties to the practical applications of this technology.

- Few data sets are available to evaluate short- and long-term perturbations and impacts of increasing anthropogenic stresses and a warming marine environment in coastal regions near cities. The Perth, Western Australia shoreline has extensive, depauperate sandy beaches interrupted by small, biodiverse intertidal reef platforms. We present transect data on mollusc diversity and density on three Perth platforms recorded from 1983 to 1987, and compare it to 2007 and 2021 to analyse assemblage modifications in response to increased anthropogenic pressures. NMDS multivariate analysis showed a consistent drift in assemblage composition in 2007 and 2021, but this is was not statistically significant from the 1980s baseline (PERMANOVA, P = 0.336). There was no significant long-term decline (or increase) in molluscan species richness. Most species were uncommon but eight were recorded on at least 20 of the 21 surveys. The endemic Western Australian mussel Brachidontes ustulatus (Lamarck, 1819) accounted for 71.8% of all individuals. Total mollusc density varied primarily with changes in B. ustulatus. Tropical species were a minor component of the molluscs that did not change in diversity with warming temperatures. These data provide a long-term baseline for monitoring future anthropogenic changes.

- IntroductionThe west coast of Western Australia (WA) is a global hotspot for increasing sea surface temperatures and marine heatwaves. MethodsWe used visual survey transects to compare mollusc and echinoderm populations on three coastal intertidal platform reefs on the Perth shoreline with two intertidal platforms at the west end of Rottnest Island (32 degrees S) which are under the influence of the southward flowing Leeuwin Current. ResultsIn 1983, temperate species dominated Perth coastal molluscan diversity, but the tropical mussel Brachidontes sculptus dominated density. Species richness on coastal platforms remained constant in 2007 and 2021, but total densities were lower in 2007 as B. sculptus declined; partial recovery occurred on coastal platforms in 2021. Tropical species were a significant component of mollusc diversity and density at Rottnest Island in 1982 and 2007. Total mollusc density declined by 98% at the island sites of Radar Reef and 86% at Cape Vlamingh and total echinoderm density by 52% and 88% respectively from 2007 to 2021; species diversity also declined sharply. DiscussionTropical species have moved southward in WA subtidal environments, but tropical, temperate and WA endemic species all suffered losses of biodiversity and catastrophic declines in density of 90% or more on the two Rottnest Island intertidal platforms. Data presented here provide a sound basis for exploring the possible causes of the catastrophic mortality at the west end of Rottnest Island and monitoring for recovery.
