The shapley value of age-period-cohort effects

ABSTRACT The exact linear dependency among age, period and birth cohort makes it impossible to recover the true parameters of Age-Period-Cohort (APC) models. We then propose to extract reliable information from APC models via the Shapley decomposition, a model-agnostic procedure from game theory that allows to pin down the most likely contribution of each regressor in explaining the variance of the dependent variable. The rationale is that the predicted values of APC models are estimable and the allocation of the R2 to the APC regressors – interpreted here as the APC “effects” – satisfies desirable properties and produces robust estimates, in that complementing existing methods. We apply the method to the U.S. unemployment rate.
Introducing a conceptual model for wellbeing tourism – going beyond the triple bottom line of sustainability

ABSTRACT The need to re-envision alternative paradigms in tourism is becoming evident with the increasingly experienced climate change and degradation of life supporting ecosystem services, to which the tourism industry has a significant adverse contribution. Could tourism be re-envisioned to bring positive effects on social, environmental and individual wellbeing? In this paper, we present the outcome of an extensive literature review and a cross-border post card workshop with researchers and tourism officials. Drawing on this, a conceptual framework of a comprehensive, relational idea of wellbeing tourism is proposed, that extends beyond our current notion of sustainability and the widely used and accepted triple bottom line model (TBL). The suggested model proposes a shift from focusing on sustainability alone, to giving increased attention and value to integral health and to life quality. The paper highlights that wellbeing tourism can only truly be reached when all its suggested six pillars are fulfilled in a relative balance among the community related external ones (environment, economy, social; “sustainability”) and those that may be experienced as individual (body, mind, soul). The importance of wellbeing tourism supporting a society with the governing characteristics of happiness, harmony, and abundance, building collaborative and regenerative systems are emphasised.
Endocuff-Assisted Colonoscopy Does Not increase the Sessile Serrated Lesion Detection Rate – A Randomized Controlled Trial

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. Colonoscopy has been shown to decrease the incidence of CRC by facilitating the detection and resection of adenomas and serrated lesions. Endocuff vision (EV) has been shown to increase the detection of adenomas. The aim of this study was to compare the detection of sessile serrated lesions during colonoscopy with and without EV.MethodsA total of 257 patients who underwent elective colonoscopy were prospectively enrolled. The patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups according to the use of EV (standard colonoscopy vs. colonoscopy with EV). We compared the rates of detection of serrated lesions (including hyperplastic lesions ≥ 10 mm) and adenomas.ResultsThe number of serrated lesions per colonoscopy was not significantly higher in the EV group (0.233 vs 0.156, mean difference 0.076, p = 0.381). None of the secondary endpoints regarding the detection rate of adenomas (65.9% vs 66.4%; OR 0.977, 95% CI 0.583–1.638; p = 0.931) or sessile serrated lesions (12.4% vs 7.8%; OR 1.671; 95% CI 0.728–3.836; p = 0.226) were superior in the EV group. The differences were not significantly altered after adjusting for either the Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS) or withdrawal time.ConclusionEV did not increase the rate of detection of serrated lesions or adenomas.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03856957.

Intimate Partner Violence Screening Tools in Emergency Departments: A Scoping Review

This study aims to identify and review the characteristics and uses of family violence screening tools in emergency departments (EDs) because such screenings have been observed to be implemented irregularly and inconsistently across EDs. This study is important because it provides ED clinicians with an overview and appraisal of several family violence screening tools. This study used a scoping review systematically over six databases, finding 12 suitable studies. The themes identified were (i) how family violence screening tools are used, (ii) what the barriers to implementing screening for family violence were, and (iii) what factors facilitated screening for family violence. A combination of reasons included lack of useful screening tools, training for family violence screening, privacy, time, and language barriers that hindered the use of screening for family violence. It was suggested that a beneficial screening tool and clinician support would facilitate the screening of family violence in EDs.

Screening for HNF1B Gene Mutations, in Four People with Typical Diabetes MODY5 Clinical Characteristics

Introduction: people with clinical characteristics of MODY benefit with a correct genetic diagnosis and are often only studied if having family history. In this work there were studied four people selected per their clinical characteristics of genitourinary abnormalities and MODY Diabetes, using the worldwide inclusion criteria for MODY5 except for a family history of diabetes or kidney disease. Methods: gene mutation screening in four people with clinical characteristics of MODY5 in search for alterations in the HNF1B gene with Sanger or NGS sequencing, and bioinformatic tools to analyze the results of the sequences. Results: from four people studied we found three mutations in the HNF1B gene, including a missense mutation previously described and two de novo whole gene deletions. The other person did not present any alteration in that gene even having clinical characteristics. Conclusions: people with clinical characteristics of MODY and having pancreatic, renal, kidney or genital located abnormalities are candidates for genetic screening of HNF1B. Yet, genetic screening of HNF1B should not only be restricted to such people but should also be considered in people without diabetes but having those other characteristics. We suggest also, the study of people even in the absence of family history, given that the possibility of occurrence of de novo mutations is underestimated.

The Effect of LSP on the Structure Evolution and Self-Heating of ARMCO Iron under Cyclic Loading

This work is devoted to the experimental investigation of the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) on the thermo-mechanical properties of metals. ARMCO iron was chosen as the model material for the study. Samples were subjected to LSP, and were tested following the procedure of the self-heating (Risitano) technique. To investigate the damage that was induced by heating, the fatigue tests were coupled with infrared thermography measurements. The results of the study showed that the LSP procedure qualitatively changes the temperature evolution in ARMCO iron during cyclic loading. The heating (energy dissipation) of the LSP treated specimen was several times higher than that of the specimen in the initial state. To explain the structural mechanisms of energy dissipation, the microstructure of the specimens was examined using transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy, as well as electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). The results of the structural investigation confirm the qualitative change of defect evolution caused by LSP treatment.
Body Image and Mirror Exposure: The Impact of Partial versus Full Mirror Use on Beginner-level Ballet Students

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of partial versus full mirror use on body image in a beginner-level ballet class. At the end of a seven-week period, researchers distributed an online survey inclusive of qualitative questions to two groups of female collegiate students enrolled in separate beginner-level ballet courses taught by the same professor. One group had full access to the mirror during class, while the other only had access to the mirror during center work. Results show that differences occurred between the two groups regarding how comfortable students felt in their ballet attire, how they sensed their bodies changing over the course of the semester, how they utilized the mirror during class, and how they understood the mirror’s purpose in relationship to their embodied practices. Ultimately, students with less mirror time experienced more holistic, full-body transformations by the end of the seven-week period.
THE POTENTIAL OF ROSEMARY AS A FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT FOR MEAT PRODUCTS- A REVIEW

ABSTRACT Artificial preservatives have long been used by the meat industry to control chemical, microbial, and enzymatic degradation activities; and to enhance the shelf life, safety, and quality of meat products. However, the reported toxicological and carcinogenic effects of these additives; and consumer preferences towards natural or plant-based food preservatives have insisted the meat industry to look for their natural alternatives. Rosemary is one of the most promising, versatile, and most studied natural preservatives that have been reported to reduce the rate of oxidative reactions and microbial growth in meat products, thereby extending their shelf life. The promising biological and functional characteristics of rosemary are due to the presence of bioactive compounds like phenolic diterpenes, flavonoids, and triterpenes. These bioactives are well renowned for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective properties. This review highlights the use of rosemary in a diverse range of meat products, including in their packaging. Encapsulation of rosemary and its mechanism of action have also been discussed.

3D printed MOF-based mixed matrix thin-film composite membranes

MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) have attracted considerable attention due to their tremendous separation performance and facile processability. In large-scale applications such as CO2 separation from flue gas, it is necessary to have high gas permeance, which can be achieved using thin membranes. However, there are only a handful of MOF MMMs that are fabricated in the form of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. We propose herein the fabrication of robust thin-film composite mixed-matrix membranes (TFC MMMs) using a three dimensional (3D) printing technique with a thickness of 2–3 μm. We systematically studied the effect of casting concentration and number of electrospray cycles on membrane thickness and CO2 separation performance. Using a low concentration of polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) or PIM-1/HKUST-1 solution (0.1 wt%) leads to TFC membranes with a thickness of less than 500 nm, but the fabricated membranes showed poor CO2/N2 selectivity, which could be attributed to microscopic defects. To avoid these microscale defects, we increased the concentration of the casting solution to 0.5 wt% resulting in TFC MMMs with a thickness of 2–3 μm which showed three times higher CO2 permeance than the neat PIM-1 membrane. These membranes represent the first examples of 3D printed TFC MMMs using the electrospray printing technique.

This study investigates the relationship between different social media marketing practices and customers’ purchase intention in Malaysia’s boutique hotels. The article also explores how to properly conduct social media marketing to increase the customer purchase intention of boutique hotels and promote the boutique hotels’ development in Malaysia. The non-probability random sampling technique 309 response was collected from Malaysian social media users using an online survey. Findings of the research found out that factors including marketing activities and eWOM significantly impact customer purchase intention of the boutique hotels in Malaysia through the mediating variable perceived usefulness and the mediating variable perceived trust. The study offers implications for the development of social media marketing in boutique hotels.
Improvements of substance use disorder treatment and the impact of traumatic experiences

ABSTRACT Background Patients entering substance use disorder treatment perceive the quality of life as low and have high levels of psychological distress. Some suffer from impaired cognitive functioning. The prevalence of traumatic experiences is high. We aimed to determine whether there had been improvements from admission to discharge and explore the relationships between the improvements and experiences of traumatic abuse. Methods We recruited 138 inpatients from long-term treatment for substance use disorders in Norway. 98 participants completed the questionnaires on quality of life, psychological distress, and cognitive functioning at admission and discharge. Results We found significant improvements in quality of life and cognitive functioning, and the psychological distress decreased from admission to discharge. Patients with experiences of traumatic abuse improved less in cognitive functioning. Conclusion Measurements of quality of life, psychological distress, and cognitive functioning may be useful to assess improvements during treatment. Health providers must be aware of the high prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and psychological distress, and low quality of life in patients at admission to treatment. Patients with experiences of traumatic abuse improved less in cognitive functioning and treatment should target this, as it could hinder drop-out and enhance the success of substance use disorder treatment.
