    Abstract Sandberg and Thomas [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 085001 (2023)0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.130.085001] proposed a scheme to generate ultrashort, high-energy pulses of XUV photons though dephasingless photon acceleration in a beam-driven plasma wakefield. An ultrashort laser pulse is placed in the plasma wake behind a relativistic electron bunch such that it experiences a comoving negative density gradient and therefore shifts up in frequency. Using a tapered density profile provides phase-matching between driver and witness pulses. In this paper, we give the details of the wakefield solutions and phase-matching conditions used to generate the phase-matching density profile. The short, high-density, and weak driver limits are considered. We show, explicitly, the numerical algorithm used to calculate the density profiles.

    Abstract Point-of-care testing (POCT) is the fastest-growing segment of laboratory medicine. This review focuses on the essential aspects of setting analytical performance specifications (APS) and performing quality assurance for POCT in primary healthcare. In-vitro diagnostic medical devices for POCT are typically small and easy to operate. Users often have little to no laboratory experience and may not necessarily see the value of conducting quality assurance on their devices. Therefore, training, guidance, and motivation should be integral parts of the total quality management system, as they are vital for managing errors and ensuring reliable results. It is common to believe that the analytical quality of POCT should be comparable to that of laboratory testing, and as a result, APS should be the same. This paper challenges this concept. The APS for POCT can often be less stringent compared to those used in a central laboratory because the requester is closer to both the analytical and clinical situation. Point-of-care instruments should be selected based on clinical needs, the required analytical quality and user-friendliness in the intended usage setting.Quality assurance should include both internal quality control (IQC) and external quality assessment (EQA). It is recommended that IQC protocols should be dependent on the complexity of the POCT device. A scoring system to determine how frequent IQC should be analyzed in primary healthcare on different types of POCT devices has been suggested. The main challenge in EQA for POCT involves using suitable control materials that reflect instrument performance on patient samples. Obtaining commutable control materials for POCT is difficult since the matrix often is whole blood. An essential aspect of EQA for POCT is that feedback reports should be easily interpretable. Users should receive advice from the EQA organizer regarding the root causes of deviating results. Quality assurance for POCT is not an easy task and presents numerous challenges. However, there is evidence that quality assurance improves the quality of POCT measurements and, consequently, can enhance patient outcomes.

    Abstract While measures to detect psychophysical olfactory ability are a crucial part of clinicians' assessment of potential olfactory loss, it gives no indication of how olfaction is experienced by the patient and these different aspects often deviate substantially. To ensure quality and reproducibility of subjectively reported olfactory experience and significance, the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire (IO-Q) was introduced around a decade ago, and while initial validations have produced promising results, important aspects remain nearly unexamined. For example, the test-retest reliability has rarely been examined and the difference of online versus pen-and-paper administration remains unexplored. Here, we translated IO-Q to Danish and examined its validity, test-retest reliability and mode of administration. A cohort of 179 younger, Danish participants with a high level of English proficiency took the test twice with varying time in-between. The first test was taken digitally and in English, while the second was taken using pen-and-paper and in Danish. The distribution of scores and the relationship between the IO-Q and subscale scores were nearly identical between tests, indicating little to no influence of language/test modality in the sampled population. The internal consistency was comparable to previously published results. Likewise, an acceptable test-retest reliability was observed for the full IO-Q and slightly lower for subscales. No significant effect of time was found across several weeks. In conclusion, the IO-Q performed satisfactorily in all examinations and could therefore serve as a valuable clinical measure of subjective olfactory experience, and its Danish translation shows highly similar characteristics to the original, English version.

    Abstract Objective: General practitioners (GPs) played a crucial role in limiting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many GPs experienced they did not have the prerequisites to provide adequate care. However, GPs developed approaches that helped them to provide care to patients through various job crafting strategies. The aim of this study is to identify how job crafting strategies were deployed by GPs at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden and the significance of the strategies on their work situation.
    Design: A qualitative design with semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis with job crafting as the conceptual framework for the analysis process.
    Setting: Primary healthcare in five healthcare regions in Sweden.
    Subjects: Fourteen GPs participated in individual interviews.
    Results: In their endeavours to organise and provide care, GPs shaped the task, relational and cognitive boundaries of their work. GPs felt proud about finding new ways of working when given room to manoeuvre. Intensified collaboration between healthcare professionals made GPs more confident in their clinical work. GPs expressed that they consequently felt stronger in their professional role through what they accomplished in the organisation of care.
    Conclusions/implications: The results suggest that the job crafting strategies GPs used were meaningful to them in clinical practice. Knowledge about how GPs' job crafting strategies were deployed might be useful for healthcare organisations in preparing for future health crises. Taking advantage of GPs' experiences and strategies is considered important for promoting sustainable working conditions for GPs in the future.

    Abstract The world faces a multiplicity of global catastrophic risks (GCRs), whose functionality as individual and collective complex adaptive networks (CANs) poses unique problems for governance in a world that itself comprises an intricately interlinked set of CANs. Here we examine necessary conditions for new approaches to governance that consider the known properties of CANs-especially that small changes in one part of the system can cascade and amplify throughout the system and that the system as a whole can also undergo rapid, dramatic, and often unpredictable change with little or no warning.

    Abstract The biosphere represents the global sum of all ecosystems. According to a prominent view in environmental ethics, ecocentrism, these ecosystems matter for their own sake, and not only because they contribute to human ends. As such, some ecocentrists are critical of the modern industrial civilization, and a few even argue that an irreversible collapse of the modern industrial civilization would be a good thing. However, taking a longer view and considering the eventual destruction of the biosphere by astronomical processes, we argue that humans, a species with considerable technological know-how and industrial capacity could intervene to extend the lifespan of Earth's biosphere, perhaps by several billion years. We argue that human civilization, despite its flaws and harmful impacts on many ecosystems, is the biosphere's best hope of avoiding premature destruction. We argue that proponents of ecocentrism, even those who wholly disregard anthropocentric values, have a strong moral reason preserve the modern industrial civilization, for as long as needed to ensure biosphere survival.

    Abstract Background and importance: "Ping-pong fractures" (PPF) can occur in neonates and result in cosmetic deformity and local mass effect. Standard treatment involves surgical elevation of the depressed bone when the indentation is considerable or cosmetically apparent. Surgical correction of PPF subjects patients to the risks of surgery and general anesthesia. This article and corresponding video demonstrate a novel means of correcting PPF at bedside without surgery or anesthesia. We used a hospital-grade breast pump connected to a custom-fabricated flange to successfully elevate PPF in two neonates.
    Clinical presentation: Two moderately preterm infants were noted at birth to have large parietal PPF. To avoid surgical intervention, elevation using a suction device was attempted. A hospital-grade breast pump was used to provide suction. A custom device was fabricated out of a breast pump flange and molded Coloplast Brava® protective seal rings. This device was carefully applied to the skull to exactly match the diameter of the PPF and contour of the bone. Brief (15-30 seconds) periods of suction were applied several times until the PPF was successfully elevated as documented on subsequent computed tomography scans. Both infants achieved excellent cosmetic results with no adverse effects over 24- and 9-month follow-ups, respectively.
    Discussion: This technique eliminates the risks of open surgical correction and corrected the PPF without general anesthesia or adverse effects to the infant. While there may be limitations due to patient age and/or location of the PPF, the use of widely available and inexpensive custom-fitted materials with a hospital grade breast pump achieves maximal efficacy without requiring higher negative pressure suction application.
    Conclusion: Elevation of PPF can be safely achieved in some neonates using readily available equipment: a hospital-grade breast pump, flange, and moldable adherent material. This technique is reasonable to attempt in lieu of surgical elevation.
