Why is it so hard to push Chinese railway projects in Southeast Asia? The role of domestic politics in Malaysia and Indonesia

Guanie Lim, Chen Li, Emirza Adi Syailendra

Summary: Malaysia's centralized political structure has facilitated the faster implementation of the East Coast Rail Link project compared to Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail. Indonesia's decentralization exercise has led to a more complicated project implementation process, despite negotiating a somewhat better deal with the Chinese railway consortium.

Eco-anxiety: What it is and why it matters

Charlie Kurth, Panu Pihkala

Summary: This article discusses the importance of emotions in response to ecological crises and how they contribute to our wellbeing. By focusing on eco-anxiety and analyzing a wide range of studies using methods from philosophy, emotion theory, and interdisciplinary environmental studies, the authors demonstrate how understanding anxiety in general can help develop better models of eco-anxiety. The results suggest that eco-anxiety refers to a family of distinct but related ecological emotions, and that practical eco-anxiety can be a valuable emotional response to address threats like climate change, benefiting both individuals and the planet.

Why Is Residential Irrigation So Hard to Optimize?

Robert B. Sowby, Nathan T. Lunstad

Summary: Residential landscape irrigation is a major demand for municipal water suppliers, but it is often inefficient and constrained by limited capacity and low pressure. The problem lies in the complexity of irrigation conditions, imprecise sprinkler components, simplistic controls, and untrained customers. Better plant choices, landscape layouts, and precision irrigation technology are recommended solutions. Additionally, the development of smart irrigation controllers that consider the complexity of irrigation conditions and allow remote control by water suppliers is suggested.

Characterization of age-associated B cells in early drug-naive rheumatoid arthritis patients

Gemma Vidal-Pedrola, Najib Naamane, James A. Cameron, Arthur G. Pratt, Andrew L. Mellor, John D. Isaacs, Dagmar Scheel-Toellner, Amy E. Anderson

Summary: Age-associated B cells (ABCs) are an immune cell subset linked to autoimmunity, infection, and aging. Studies have shown that ABCs in the peripheral blood of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA) exhibit distinct transcriptional characteristics compared to control groups, and they are found to be abundant in synovial fluid. These activated B cells express chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules that favor inflammation over lymphoid tissue, and they may play a role in autoimmune pathology due to their antigen presentation and pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Pre-treatment calprotectin (MRP8/14) provides no added value to testing CRP alone in terms of predicting response to TNF inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis in a post hoc analysis

Samantha Louise Smith, Sheree Alexander, Nisha Nair, Sebastien Viatte, Stephen Eyre, Kimme L. Hyrich, Ann W. Morgan, Anthony G. Wilson, John D. Isaacs, Darren Plant, Anne Barton

Summary: The study aimed to explore whether the inflammatory protein MRP8/14 can serve as a biomarker for treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients receiving tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. The results showed that in the 3-component and 2-component models, patients with high pre-treatment levels of MRP8/14 were 1.92 and 2.03 times more likely to be classified as EULAR responders compared to those with low levels. However, no significant associations were observed in the 4-component model. Conclusion: Apart from its correlation with CRP, there is no evidence to suggest that MRP8/14 explains additional variability in response to TNFi in RA patients beyond CRP alone.

Number of days required to measure sedentary time and physical activity using accelerometery in rheumatoid arthritis: a reliability study

Ciara D. O'Brien, George Kitas, Fiona D. Rayner, John F. Isaacs, Kenneth G. Baker, Arthur D. Pratt, Christopher Buckley, Karim Raza, Andrew Filer, Stefan Siebert, Iain McInnes, Andrew McGucken, Sally A. M. Fenton, BIOFLARE Consortium

Summary: This study aimed to determine the minimum number of monitoring days required to reliably estimate sedentary time, light-intensity physical activity, and moderate-intensity physical activity in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) across different levels of disease activity. The results showed that at least 4 monitoring days were required to reliably estimate sedentary time and light-intensity physical activity, while at least 5 monitoring days were required to reliably estimate behaviors across the movement continuum. This information is important for accurately assessing physical activity levels and sedentary behavior in RA patients and can help inform interventions for promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary time.
