The study presents daily values of inward and outward vapor flux crossing the soil-atmosphere boundary in dependence on meteorological parameters and soil moisture. Measurements of vapor flux, soil moisture and meteorological parameters were evaluated during days without rainfall between 2015 and 2019. Vapor flux data were obtained at 1 min intervals by a precision lysimeter installed in the Doñana National Park, southwest Spain. Meteorological data were measured on-site at 10-min intervals, including temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and net radiation. After manual and automatic noise elimination of the lysimeter data, time series of a summer and winter period were generated for selected relevant parameters. Furthermore, daily cumulative data of inward and outward vapor flux were calculated for the entire period and analyzed for their control by meteorological parameters and soil moisture. Results show moderate correlations of daily outward vapor flux on the diurnal amplitudes of temperature and humidity whereas daily inward vapor indicates moderate correlations with temperature and soil moisture. A correction coefficient for potential evaporation to estimate actual evaporation was determined based on soil moisture and air temperature.
Historically, there is a lack of structured assessment and intervention protocols to support care of children with developmental delays and/or disabilities (DDDs) in rural child and youth care centres (CYCCs) across South Africa.

This study aimed to design an assessment and intervention protocol for holistic management of children in such centres, based on the opinions and input from CYCC staff and experts in the community.

Data was collected in two stages, the first consisted of qualitative focus groups with CYCC staff using a semi-structured interview schedule and the second was qualitative individual interviews with experts in developmental health such as paediatricians and occupational therapists (OTs) using an interview schedule.

The results enabled the design of a preliminary Ecosystemic Assessment and Intervention Protocol (ECO-AIP) for children with DDDs in CYCCs that could be implemented on trial basis in further research.

Information relating to the identification, and care and support of children with DDDs in rural CYCCs was obtained to enable the design of the ECO-AIP. This algorithmic protocol will guide a multi-disciplinary CYCC team to identify DDDs and to assist children to reach their milestones.

This performance is often linked to a health target that triggers a bonus when met. For some patients the target is easily met, while others require a significant amount of care to reach the target (if ever). This study contributes to the literature by providing evidence of how P4P affects allocation of care across patients with low and high responsiveness to treatment compared to a fixed payment, such as capitation and salary, under different degrees of resource constraint. Our evidence is based on a controlled laboratory experiment involving 143 medical students in Denmark in 2019. We find that patients who have the potential to reach the health target, gain care under P4P, whereas patients with no potential to reach it, may receive less care. Redistribution of care between patients under P4P arises when physicians are resource constrained. As many physicians are currently operating under tight resource constraints, policymakers should be careful to avoid unintended inequalities in patients' access to health care when introducing P4P. Risk-adjusting the performance target may potentially solve this issue.
Straight-sided glasses can slow the rate of lager consumption in a laboratory setting compared with curved glasses. Slower drinking rates may lower overall alcohol consumption. Glass shape is therefore a potential target for intervention. The aim of this randomised crossover trial was to estimate the impact of serving draught beer and cider in straight-sided glasses, compared with usual, predominantly curved glasses, on alcohol sales for on-site consumption in bars.

Twenty-four bars in England completed two intervention periods (A) and two control periods (B) in a randomised order 1) BABA; 2) BAAB; 3) ABBA; or 4) ABAB. Each period lasted two weeks and involved serving draught beer and cider in either straight-sided glasses (A) or the venue's usual glasses (≥75% curved; B). The primary outcome was the mean volume (in litres) of draught beer and cider sold weekly, compared between A and B periods using a paired-samples t-test on aggregate data. A regression model adjusted for season, order, special events, and busyness.

Mean weekly volume sales of draught beer and cider was 690·9L (SD 491·3L) across A periods and 732·5L (SD 501·0L) across B periods. The adjusted mean difference (A minus B) was 8·9L per week (95% CI -45·5 to 63·3; p=0·737).

This study provides no clear evidence that using straight-sided glasses, compared with usual, predominantly curved glasses, reduces the volume of draught beer and cider sold for on-site consumption in bars.

The "Cardiac pump theory" and "Thoracic pump theory" are representative theories of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) mechanisms. Based on these theories, many studies on mathematical modeling have been performed to help understand hemodynamics during CPR. However, there are parts that do not yet properly reflect the physiology of CPR. Therefore, this study aims to develop a lumped parameter model of CPR that can more accurately reflect the current CPR physiology.

By adding compartments of the superior and inferior vena cava of the thoracic cavity to the existing CPR model, and the "Hybrid pump" mechanism was applied to simulate CPR. To compare the hemodynamics of the conventional CPR model and the developed CPR model, various conditions, such as active compression-decompression CPR with an impedance threshold valve device (ACD-CPR+ITV), head-up-tilt (HUT), and head-down-tilt (HDT), were simulated. The coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) was compared by modulating the compression ratio of the atrium and ventricle with the thoracic pump factor.
