Abstract	Over the last few years, the concept of Artificial Intelligence has become central in different tasks concerning both our daily life and several working scenarios. Among these tasks automated planning has always been central in the AI research community. In particular, this manuscript is focused on a specialized kind of planning known as Multi-agent Epistemic Planning (MEP). Epistemic Planning (EP) refers to an automated planning setting where the agent reasons in the space of knowledge/beliefs states and tries to find a plan to reach a desirable state from a starting one. Its general form, the MEP problem, involves multiple agents who need to reason about both the state of the world and the information flows between agents. To tackle the MEP problem several tools have been developed and, while the diversity of approaches has led to a deeper understanding of the problem space, each proposed tool lacks some abilities and does not allow for a comprehensive investigation of the information flows. That is why, the objective of our work is to formalize an environment where a complete characterization of the agents' knowledge/beliefs interaction and update is possible. In particular, we aim to achieve such goal by defining a new action-based language for multi-agent epistemic planning and to implement an epistemic planner based on it. This solver should provide a tool flexible enough to reason on different domains, e.g., economy, security, justice and politics, where considering others' knowledge/beliefs could lead to winning strategies.

Abstract	As the interest in Artificial Intelligence continues to grow it is becoming more and more important to investigate formalization and tools that allow us to exploit logic to reason about the world. In particular, given the increasing number of multi-agents systems that could benefit from techniques of automated reasoning, exploring new ways to define not only the world's status but also the agents' information is constantly growing in importance. This type of reasoning, i.e., about agents' perception of the world and also about agents' knowledge of her and others' knowledge, is referred to as epistemic reasoning. In our work we will try to formalize this concept, expressed through epistemic logic, for dynamic domains. In particular we will attempt to define a new action-based language for multi-agent epistemic planning and to implement an epistemic planner based on it. This solver should provide a tool flexible enough to be able to reason on different domains, e.g., economy, security, justice and politics, where reasoning about others' beliefs could lead to winning strategies or help in changing a group of agents' view of the world.

Abstract	Purpose: To investigate the mediating role of general self-efficacy (i.e., belief in one's competence to cope with a broad range of stressful or challenging demands) in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and psychological distress (i.e., symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression) in gender minority individuals, which include people with a gender identity that is not aligned with their sex assigned at birth. Design and methods: The study sample included gender minority participants who participated in Waves 4 and 5 of Project AFFIRM, a multi-site longitudinal study of gender minority health. ACEs, general self-efficacy, and psychological distress were measured using the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System ACE Module at Wave 4, the PROMIS General self-efficacy measure at Wave 4, and the Brief Symptoms Inventory Global Severity Index (GSI) at Wave 5, respectively. After adjustment for covariates, including age, race, sex assigned at birth, and income, multivariable linear regression analyses were conducted to assess each component of the proposed mediation model. Next, mediation analyses were used to determine whether general self-efficacy mediated the association between ACEs and psychological distress. Findings: The sample for this study consisted of 166 gender minority adults with a mean age of 38.6 ± 12.2 years. Most were non-Hispanic White (46.4%) and female assigned at birth (59.6%). Mean ACEs score was 3.2 ± 2.1 (range 0-8), mean general self-efficacy score was 13.9 ± 3.6 (range 4-20), and mean raw-score GSI was 17.3 ± 13.7 (range 0-64). Participants who reported experiencing more ACEs had greater psychological distress (B 1.60; 95% CI = 0.66, 2.54) and lower general self-efficacy (B -0.41; 95% CI = -0.67, -0.15). In addition, lower general self-efficacy was associated with higher psychological distress (B -1.06; 95% CI = -1.61, -0.51). Bootstrap estimation of the indirect effect was significant (95% CI = 0.14, 0.90) and explained 27.1% (95% CI = 7.76, 69.76) of the total effect of ACEs on psychological distress in gender minority adults. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that general self-efficacy partially mediated the positive association between ACEs and psychological distress in gender minority adults. Interventions that aim to improve general self-efficacy may be beneficial in alleviating psychological distress in gender minority adults. Clinical relevance: Nurses can play an important role in reducing the health risks associated with ACEs by screening gender minority individuals using a trauma-informed approach to care and offering resources and referrals, as appropriate.

Abstract	In climate model simulations of future climate change, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is projected to decline. However, the impacts of this decline, relative to other changes, remain to be identified. Here we address this problem by analyzing 30 idealized abrupt-4xCO2 climate model simulations. We find that in models with larger AMOC decline, there is a minimum warming in the North Atlantic, a southward displacement of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone, and a poleward shift of the mid-latitude jet. The changes in the models with smaller AMOC decline are drastically different: there is a relatively larger warming in the North Atlantic, the precipitation response exhibits a wet-get-wetter, dry-get- drier pattern, and there are smaller displacements of the mid-latitude jet. We further investigate the impacts of a weakened AMOC in ad-hoc model experiments using EC-Earth3, a state-of-the-art climate model participating in CMIP6. We compare two model experiments forced with abrupt-4xCO2: one in which the AMOC weakens, and another one in which we artificially force the AMOC to stay at the same strength as in the preindustrial control simulation. With these experiments we are able to further investigate mechanisms of AMOC induced climate change impacts, using a moisture budget framework and assessing daily impacts on weather regimes. Overall, our work indicates that the AMOC is a major source of inter-model uncertainty, and continued observational efforts are needed to constrain the impacts of an AMOC decline in future climate change.

Abstract	It is often argued that successive editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) have relaxed diagnostic criteria and thereby inflated rates of diagnosis. This claim has yet to be examined systematically. We quantitatively reviewed 123 studies in which one sample was concurrently diagnosed using two consecutive DSM editions (i.e., DSM-III & DSM-III-R, DSM-III-R & DSM-IV, or DSM-IV & DSM-5). Meta-analysis of 476 risk ratios enabled 123 comparisons of diagnostic rates for specific disorders. Comparisons demonstrating diagnostic inflation (i.e., higher diagnostic rate in the later edition) did not exceed those demonstrating deflation. The average risk ratio was 1.00, indicating no overall change in diagnostic stringency from DSM-III to DSM-5, and there were no reliable tendencies for particular DSM revisions to be more inflationary or deflationary than others. Specific disorders showing reliable evidence of diagnostic inflation or deflation were identified. Notable examples of diagnostic inflation included Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, eating disorders, and substance dependence. Although serious concerns have been raised about diagnostic inflation or "concept creep" in the DSM, these concerns may have been overstated.

Book ; Online: Orographic resolution driving the improvements associated with horizontal resolution increase in the Northern Hemisphere winter mid-latitudes

Abstract	In recent years much attention has been devoted to the investigation of the impact of increasing the horizontal resolution of global climate models. In the present work, a set of atmosphere-only idealized sensitivity simulations with EC-Earth3 has been designed to disentangle the relative roles of increasing the resolution of the resolved orography and of the atmospheric grid. Focusing on the Northern Hemisphere winter, it is shown that if the grid is refined while keeping the resolved orography unchanged, model biases are reduced only on some specific occasions. Conversely, increasing the resolved (or mean) orography is found to clearly reduce several important systematic model errors, including synoptic transient eddies, the North Atlantic jet stream variability, and atmospheric blocking frequency and duration. From an analysis of the radiation budget it is concluded that the large changes in radiative fluxes caused by the resolution increase – something commonly observed in climate models – have a relevant impact on the atmospheric circulation, partially offsetting the benefits obtained from the increase in orographic resolution. These findings point to the necessity of always tuning climate models to fully exploit the benefits of high horizontal resolution.

Abstract	Introduction: Shallow hydrothermal vents are considered natural laboratories to study the effects of acidification on biota, due to the consistent CO Methods: Here the microbial communities of water and sediment samples from Levante Bay (Vulcano Island) with different pH and redox conditions were explored by Next Generation Sequencing techniques. The taxonomic structure was elucidated and compared with previous studies from the same area in the last decades. Results and discussion: The results revealed substantial shifts in the taxonomic structure of both bacterial and archaeal communities, with special relevance in the sediment samples, where the effects of external parameters probably act for a long time. The study demonstrates that microbial communities could be used as indicators of acidification processes, by shaping the entire biogeochemical balance of the ecosystem in response to stress factors. The study contributes to understanding how much these communities can tell us about future changes in marine ecosystems.

Abstract	Objective: Using a biopsychosocial framework and the three-factor fatigue model, we aimed to (1) plot recovery of fatigue over the 3 months following paediatric concussion and (2) explore factors associated with persisting fatigue during the first 3 months postconcussion. Methods: 240 children and adolescents aged 5-18 years (M=11.64, SD=3.16) completed assessments from time of injury to 3 months postinjury. Separate linear mixed effects models were conducted for child and parent ratings on the PedsQL-Multidimensional Fatigue Scale to plot recovery across domains (General, Cognitive, Sleep/Rest) and Total fatigue, from 1 week to 3 months postinjury. Two-block hierarchical regression analyses were then conducted for parent and child ratings of fatigue at each time point, with age, sex and acute symptoms in block 1 and child and parent mental health variables added to block 2. Results: There was a significant reduction in both child and parent ratings across the 3 months postinjury for all fatigue domains (all p<0.001). For both child and parent fatigue ratings, child mental health was the most significant factor associated with fatigue at all time points. Adding child and parent mental health variables in the second block of the regression substantially increased the variance explained for both child and parent ratings of fatigue. Conclusion: Our findings confirm that fatigue improves during the first 3 months postconcussion and highlights the importance of considering child and parent mental health screening when assessing patients with persisting postconcussive symptoms.
