TL;DR: In this article, the authors build upon regionally downscaled weather data from future climate scenarios and applies these to dynamic thermal simulation of four sample office buildings in Vienna, Austria, at urban locations ranging from central business district to green outskirts of the city.

TL;DR: Compared different compositions of electrospun scaffolds with conventional ePTFE grafts with an inner diameter of 4 mm as well as different pre-coatings to create an optimized physiological interface for endothelialization showed good results, with best results obtained with fibronectin-coated PCL/PLA/PEG grafts.
Abstract: Small caliber vascular grafts represent a challenge to material scientists. In contrast to large caliber grafts, prostheses with diameter <6 mm, lead to increased hemodynamic disturbances and thrombogenic complications. Thus, endothelialization of small caliber grafts should create a compatible interface for hemodynamic processes. The purpose of our study was to compare different compositions of electrospun scaffolds with conventional ePTFE grafts with an inner diameter of 4 mm as well as different pre-coatings to create an optimized physiological interface for endothelialization. Polycaprolactone, polylactide, and polyethylenglycol (PCL/PLA and PCL/PLA/PEG) electrospun grafts and ePTFE grafts were pre-coated with blood, gelatine or fibronectin and seeded with endothelial cells from the human term placenta. Best results were obtained with fibronectin-coated PCL/PLA/PEG grafts. Here, the number of attached viable cells was 78–81% higher than on fibronectin pre-treated ePTFE grafts. Cells attached to PCL/PLA/PEG grafts appeared in physiological cobblestone morphology. Viability analysis showed a high cell viability of more than 98%. Fibronectin-coated PCL/PLA/PEG grafts may be a promising improvement to conventionally used ePTFE grafts. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 102A: 4500–4509, 2014.

TL;DR: Drawing on identity theory, this paper suggests that users and providers of carpooling need to be addressed differently and marketers of P2P platforms need to pursue different strategies when addressing potential users and provider on the same platform.
Abstract: Sharing does not need to involve corporate providers but can also happen on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis. P2P sharing platforms who match private providers and users are thus dealing with two different customer segments. An example of this is carpooling, the sharing of a car journey. Recent years have seen considerable research on why people use sharing services. In contrast, there is little knowledge of why people may offer a good for sharing purposes. Drawing on identity theory, this paper suggests that users and providers of carpooling need to be addressed differently. A pilot study and two studies, including both actual car owners and nonowners confirm that the extent to which one identifies as an environmentalist predicts car owners' willingness to offer carpooling, but does not affect nonowners' willingness to use carpooling services. These findings remain robust when controlling for various potential confounds. Furthermore, Study 2 suggests that an environmentalist identity plays an important role for car owners' actual decision to offer a ride via an online platform. These results suggest that marketers of P2P platforms need to pursue different strategies when addressing potential users and providers on the same platform.

TL;DR: Thirty world specialists coming from Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Africa and Australia, shared their experience on methods and results of large epidemiological interventions to reduce incidents of dementia or delay its on-set.
Abstract: IAGG, WHO, and SFGG organized a international workshop on Health promotion programs on prevention of late on-set dementia. Thirty world specialists coming from Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Africa and Australia, shared their experience on methods and results of large epidemiological interventions to reduce incidents of dementia or delay its on-set. Chaired by Laura FRATIGLIONI, an expert in Epidemiological studies on dementia issues, the workshop gave opportunity for discussions and controversies about the state-of-the-art. Based on different national and international trials (ADAPT, MAPT, FINGER, GUDIAGE, GEM etc) the questions remained opened for different aspects of methodology, the choice of domain or multi domain intervention, the choice and the definition of the target populations, the best age of candidates, the issues related to the discrepancy between late effects, and interventions' duration. We are please to publish in the Journal, the presentations presented to this workshop. These publications will complete previously task force published in the journal in the last two years on methodological issues for Alzheimer's trials including end point, biomarkers, and the experience of past therapeutic trials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated mental health and well-being in Austria during a strict lockdown and found that mental health decreased compared to both the first lockdown earlier in 2020 and pre-pandemic data.
Abstract: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic a decline in mental health has been reported. This online study investigated mental health and well-being in Austria during a strict lockdown. In total, N = 1505 participants were recruited between 23 December 2020 and 4 January 2021 and levels of depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), sleep quality (ISI), well-being (WHO-5), quality of life (WHO-QOL) and stress (PSS-10) were measured. 26% scored above the cut-off for moderate depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥ 10; ♀ = 32%; ♂ = 21%), 23% above the cut-off for moderate anxiety (GAF-7 ≥ 10; ♀ = 29%; ♂ = 17%) and 18% above the cut-off for moderate insomnia (ISI ≥ 15; ♀ = 21%; ♂ = 16%). Mean-scores for quality of life (psychological WHO-QOL) were 68.89, for well-being (WHO-5) 14.34, and for stress (PSS-10) 16.42. The youngest age group (18–24) was most burdened and showed significantly more mental health symptoms compared with the oldest age group (65+) in depressive symptoms (50% vs. 12%), anxiety symptoms (35% vs. 10%), and insomnia (25% vs. 11%, all p-values < 0.05). Mental health decreased compared to both the first lockdown earlier in 2020 and pre-pandemic data. Further analyses indicate these findings were especially apparent for the under 24-year-olds, women, single/separated people, low incomes and those who do not partake in any physical activity (all p-values < 0.05). We highlight the need for ongoing mental health support, particularly to the most burdened groups.
