Authors: Piscolia Dynamurti Wintoro  , Wiwin Rohmawati  , Liawati
Published: November 2023

Based on the results of observations in Kalikebo Village, Trucuk District, residents generally have a fairly large yard. A large yard like this can be used as a living stall for daily needs while at the same time meeting the nutritional needs of family members, expectant mothers, pregnant women and for making complementary foods. Currently the yard is still not being utilized optimally by the residents because of the lack of knowledge of the residents, especially knowledge in the health sector. This situation is due to the relatively low education of mothers so that the ability to develop themselves to improve family health is still low. While the results of the preliminary study obtained data as much as 10-14% of toddlers in Kalikebo Village were stunted. The aim of this activity is to empower housewives in utilizing their yards by planting living stalls (vegetables and fruit) which contain lots of iron, folic acid and iodine which can prevent stunting from occurring. The target in this community service activity is representatives of housewives in 4 RTs in the Kalikebo Village area, namely 150 people. The method used in this community service activity is assistance, counseling and demonstrations in utilizing the yard. The results that have been achieved in this activity are that the women participating in the assistance have understood stunting and a living stall and a living stall has been formed in Mardirejo Hamlet, Kalikebo Village.

Puskesmas Rowosari bekerja sama dengan kader kesehatan Kelurahan Rowosari membentuk wadah untuk anak-anak difabel ini melalui kegiatan Posyandu Balita Anak Difabel. Dalam posyandu ini anak-anak difabel diberikan ruang untuk mengekspresikan perasaannya sekaligus juga untuk mengubah stigma masyarakat tentang anak difabel. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya, posyandu anak difabel ini masih jauh dari sempurna. Peran kader yang belum pernah mendapat pelatihan tentang tumbuh kembang anak difabel sehingga dalam mengasuh anak-anak difabel ini hanya berdasarkan atas pengetahuan mereka saja. Selain itu sarana pra sarana dan alat bantu untuk stimulasi tumbuh kembang yang terbatas juga merupakan kendala yang dihadapi oleh para kader kesehatan di Kelurahan ini. Anak disabilitas memiliki hak yang sama dalam mendapatkan pelayanan kesehatan dengan anak yang bukan disabilitas. Pelayanan kesehatan diawali dengan preventif, promotif dan rehabilitatif. Pencegahan disabilitas harus dilakukan sedini mungkin, namun jika disabilitas sudah terjadi diupayakan tingkat kemandirian seoptimal mungkin sesuai potensi yang dimiliki. Diperlukan sebuah terobosan berupa pendidikan dan pelatihan yang terstruktur yang bertujuan melatih kader baru yang dapat mengelola posyandu balita difabel yang lebih baik. Metode Pengabdian Masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan cara memberikan pendidikan dan pelatihan yang dikemas dengan menggunakan metode yang lebih interaktif, media yang dapat memberikan gambaran nyata pengelolaan posyandu.

Glacier-dammed lake investigations in the Hullet lake area, South Greenland
Authors: Dawson Alastair G.
Published: November 2023

Results are presented on the evolution of former glacier-dammed lakes and on former glacier oscillations in the Hullet lake area, South Greenland. In this area, the presence of 15 well-developed lake shorelines between 684 and 570 m a.s.l. indicate a complex sequence of Neoglacial lake level changes, several of which may have been associated with catastrophic lake drainage and the rapid emptying of lake waters through a c. 23 km subglacial tunnel beneath Sydgletscher and the Kiagtût sermiat glacier. The oldest lake had a volume of c. 950 x 106 m3 and its sudden drainage resulted in local neotectonic crustal deformation. Lichen measurements of Rhizocarpon geographicum on glacial moraine debris suggest that a major Neoglacial expansion of glacier ice had taken place by c. 2350 years B. P. and was followed by widespread ice retreat and stagnation. There is no evidence to indicate an expansion of glacier ice in the Hullet area during the Little Ice Age. The progressive retreat of Sydgletscher was accompanied by the formation of a series of ice-dammed lakes each of which was drained subglacially. The drainage of the lakes is suggested as having been both a slow and a rapid (jökulhlaup) process. Evidence of slow lake drainage is illustrated by the last lake drainage event that took place during October 1981. During this period c. 60% of the volume of lake water drained slowly over a 14 day period with an average discharge of c. 200 m3s-1.
Reconnaissance of Tertiary structures along Nares Strait, Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Authors: Mayr Ulrich , De Vries Christiaan D. S.
Published: November 2023

In the coastal area of Ellesmere Island between Copes Bay in the south and Cape Baird in the north, at least three phases of Tertiary structural deformation can be distinguished. These are: 1) Paleocene uplifting, 2) Eocene thrusting and 3) strike-slip faulting, probably not younger than Miocene.

Uplifting is documented by remnants of a coarse, oligomictic, alluvial conglomerate of Tertiary age. In the southern and central part of the area the conglomerate is over-thrusted by Lower Palaeozoic rocks. Conjugate strike-slip faults are present on Darling Peninsula and northern Judge Daly Promontory. Sinistral displacement along the Judge Daly fault zone is estimated tentatively at 19 km.

Thrusting and strike-slip faulting in the Nares Strait area probably correspond to the main phase of the Eurekan orogeny.
The case for major displacement along Nares Strait
Authors: Johnson G. Leonard , Srivastava Shiri P.
Published: November 2023

Nares Strait is a prominent physiographic lineament between Greenland and Ellesmere Island, Canada. That it has attracted the attention of geologists, geophysicists and geomorphologists is attested to by this volume. This summary is based solely on those articles presented in the volume that suggest that lateral motion has occurred along Nares Strait; the amount of movement indicated for the Strait ranges from 200 to 320 km.

The Nares Strait dilemma is not yet resolved. Additional dedicated geophysical and geological investigations in the region surrounding Nares Strait will have to be undertaken before a satisfactory solution to the problem can be found. Hopefully, this volume will instigate such activities.
Estimation of uplift and erosion in the Miri area of northwest Sarawak, Malaysia: A multidisciplinary approach

Published: November 2023

The question of uplift in the Sarawak Foreland is addressed in a multi-disciplinary approach, namely by assigning surface vitrinite reflectance measurements to depth, and by vitrinite reflectance-to-depth conversion using functions from two previous studies. Additional erosion and uplift data were obtained by comparing eroded anticlinal crests with adjacent synclines and their preserved sediments. The combined data pool suggests two types of uplift (I) a regional uplift in the Neogene affecting the entire coastal area, and (II) a tectonically focused uplift. The amount of the latter uplift and erosion is directly linked to rise of anticlinal structures during the Upper Pliocene, with a total uplift ranging from 700 to 4,000 m in areas along prominent regional faults. Within a very short time window major sedimentation, folding, trap formation and trap destruction took place both as a consequence of folding and erosion. Only anticlines in the offshore and the proximal onshore appear to have survived without major crestal erosion. Since the end of the Pleistocene, a rise of foreland sections by some 132 m is recognized. The rapid Pliocene burial and the erosion that consequently removed the overburden thereafter may have negatively affected the petroleum system and hydrocarbon accumulation within the Miri area, which was left largely intact only in the Siwa-Seria anticlinal trend. All anticlines were targeted by petroleum exploration. However, only the Siwa-Seria trend has proved to be economically successful. This has highlighted the significance of overburden in relation to depth of burial and the thermal effect needed to mature the source rocks capable to generate hydrocarbons.
Préserver la santé psychologique au travail : quel lien avec le capital psychologique chez des policiers belges durant la pandémie de COVID-19 ?
Authors: Vandestrate Sylvie , Dubois Laurie-Anna , Van Daele Agnès
Published: November 2023

Cette étude vise à décrire l’état de santé psychologique au travail (SPT) de policiers belges pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 et à identifier d’éventuels facteurs protecteurs. Pour ce faire, nous avons pris en compte les deux dimensions de la SPT : le bien-être psychologique au travail et la détresse psychologique au travail. Nous avons également étudié leurs liens avec plusieurs inducteurs, à savoir le capital psychologique (CaPsy), le climat de travail, les demandes et les ressources au travail. Les données ont été collectées au moyen d’un questionnaire comportant des échelles de mesure de chaque variable étudiée. Les résultats montrent que les policiers interrogés présentent majoritairement une bonne SPT malgré la pandémie. Ces résultats peuvent être reliés à la présence de facteurs protecteurs de la SPT des policiers, en particulier le CaPsy, qui est l’inducteur le plus corrélé avec les deux dimensions de la SPT et qui les prédit le mieux. Les résultats sont discutés selon le contexte de pandémie et permettent de proposer des pistes d’intervention pour la préservation d’une bonne SPT en agissant notamment sur les ressources individuelles et collectives des travailleurs.
Génériques et/ou spécifiques ? Quels sont les facteurs de risque permettant d’expliquer la détresse psychologique des cadres de premier niveau ?
Authors: Pellerin Sabrina , Cloutier Julie
Published: November 2023

La littérature scientifique visant à identifier les déterminants de la détresse psychologique au travail se concentre essentiellement sur des facteurs de risque psychosociaux largement répandus dans divers types d’emplois, comme les caractéristiques des tâches (Karasek, 1979). Il s’agit de facteurs pouvant être associés à bon nombre d’occupations puisque leur conceptualisation est générique (p. ex. la charge de travail quantitative). Or les études qui s’intéressent aux facteurs spécifiques à la nature même des emplois étudiés sont encore minoritaires dans la littérature portant sur la détresse psychologique. Dans notre étude, nous investiguons les facteurs de stress associés au rôle des cadres de premier niveau, lequel est reconnu pour sa nature dite « paradoxale » (Hales, 2005). Notre objectif de recherche consiste à identifier les facteurs de stress associés à leur rôle, puis à vérifier l’influence de ceux-ci sur leur niveau de détresse psychologique. Nous optons pour une méthodologie mixte en déployant un devis de type séquentiel exploratoire (Creswell, 2009). Ce type de devis débute par une approche inductive qui permet la collecte de données qualitatives (N=14) propices à la découverte de facteurs de stress spécifiques. Le volet quantitatif subséquent permet de vérifier l’effet de ces facteurs de stress sur le niveau de détresse psychologique à l’aide de données collectées auprès d’un plus vaste échantillon (N= 243). Notre recherche mixte permet d’abord de mettre en lumière les facteurs de risque spécifiques au rôle des cadres de premier niveau, soit le conflit imputabilité/contrôle ainsi que le conflit de rôle associé à la position paradoxale qu’ils occupent. Ensuite, l’étude hypothético-déductive montre que ces facteurs spécifiques contribuent à influencer leur niveau de détresse psychologique, tout comme les facteurs de risque génériques (c.-à-d. la charge de travail quantitative). Nos résultats permettent de mieux comprendre comment les tâches et les responsabilités contribuent à engendrer de la détresse psychologique en plus de positionner les facteurs de risque spécifiques au rôle des cadres de premier niveau comme une avenue de recherche pertinente pour mieux comprendre le phénomène de la détresse psychologique au travail.
‘Dune’ y los artefactos de ficción

Published: November 2023

El pasado verano leí Dune (Herbert, 1965) a cuarenta y dos grados a la sombra. Durante la lectura deseaba cambiar la camiseta y los pantalones cortos por uno de los artefactos de supervivencia de la novela: los destiltrajes de los frémen, perfectamente adaptados al clima desértico del planeta Dune. Vivir un verano postsequía como el que hemos tenido en nuestro planeta nos debería hacer reflexionar sobre las condiciones climáticas, tal como Frank Herbert lo hace en su novela. A continuación, comparto mi reflexión, explorando un objeto creado por el autor como ejemplo de diseño-ficción, y comparándolo con otros prototipos que exploran la crisis climática más allá del mundo literario del autor.

The paper describes a method for predicting genes associated with the development of cancer. The method applies the convolutional neural network for the purpose of predicting disease driver genes. Distinctive features of the method are the use of gene expression data to determine the topological structure of the network, the efficiency of prediction with limited information about genes associated with the disease, and the possibility of jointly including information on mutations and similarity of gene expression profiles to improve the accuracy of prediction.
Ecological Electroplating Baths and Their Application in the Tin-coating of Copper Wires Intended for Photovoltaic Cables
Authors: Olędzki Aleksander , Knych Tadeusz , Zasadzińska Małgorzata
Published: November 2023

Copper wires are covered with various coatings for many different applications. The most popular are tin based coatings and both their thickness and quality have been standardized by means of appropriate standard specifications. Copper wires intended for photovoltaic cables are subjected to especially high requirements due to their exceptionally long operating time and extremely unfavourable working conditions. Tin coatings are applied using the electroplating method and generally a fluoroborate bath is used during the process, however, it has been proved to be a health hazard in general and harmful to the environment as a whole. The paper presents the research results of a new ecological methane-sulfonate bath which does not form hazardous waste in the process. The examples of tin coatings of various thickness and the way of obtaining them at varying electrodeposition speeds at constant current or constant speed with varying current intensity were analysed. It has been determined that the use of the new electroplating bath is not only beneficial from an ecological point of view, but also in terms of the coating quality and efficiency of the process.

An optogenetic cell therapy to restore control of target muscles in an aggressive mouse model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Authors: Bryson J Barney , Kourgiantaki Alexandra , Jiang Dai , Demosthenous Andreas , Greensmith Linda
Published: November 2023

Breakdown of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) is an early pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that blocks neuromuscular transmission, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis and, ultimately, premature death. Currently, no therapies exist that can prevent progressive motor neuron degeneration, muscle denervation or paralysis in ALS. Here, we report important advances in the development of an optogenetic, neural replacement strategy that can effectively restore innervation of severely affected skeletal muscles in the aggressive SOD1
G93A
mouse model of ALS, thus providing an interface to selectively control the function of targeted muscles using optical stimulation. We also identify a specific approach to confer complete survival of allogeneic replacement motor neurons. Furthermore, we demonstrate that an optical stimulation training paradigm can prevent atrophy of reinnervated muscle fibers and results in a 10-fold increase in optically-evoked contractile force. Together, these advances pave the way for an assistive therapy that could benefit all ALS patients.
”Han talte de om som en hjälte” - Performativ maskulinitet i TV-serierna S*M*A*S*H och Pistvakt
Authors: Lindkvist Jonas
Published: November 2023

”Han talte de om som en hjälte” undersöker användningen av parodi och satir i de svenska komediserierna S*M*A*S*H (1990) och Pistvakt (1998–2000) samt långfilmen Pistvakt – En albinovästern från de vita vidderna (2005). Genom att analysera hur serierna skildrar performativ maskulinitet utifrån Judith Butlers definitioner i Gender Trouble (1990) dras slutsatser om huruvida den destabiliserar den normerade heterosexuella maskuliniteten. S*M*A*S*H skildrar två normerade idealtyper för maskulinitet, finansmannen som karaktärerna misslyckas att uppnå, och elitidrottaren som man väljer bort. Pistvakt skildrar flera olika normerande maskuliniteter, men destabiliserar samtidigt normerad maskulinitet främst genom att synliggöra det performativa i maskulinitetsskapandet genom att göra karaktären Sven-E till en parodiskt ouppnåelig superhjälteidealbild av maskulinitet.
Knowledge Infrastructures Require Scaffolding
Authors: Schmidt Gisela
Published: November 2023

Watch VIDEO.
Knowledge infrastructures are multi-faceted, ever-shifting networks of people and information. They span departments, address varying needs and, ideally, provide stability despite personnel turnover and other changes. Information is made explicit and available via organizational charts, procedural manuals and regular meetings, ensuring members of an institution are kept up-to-date with necessary information. Moving below and between these formal channels, however, is the informal network, a web of unquantifiable, personal relationships, which are nevertheless vital to the functioning of the system.
Developing and maintaining a system that works for the current and future needs of diverse groups—e.g., a publication repository used by administrative and research staff—involves tapping into the existing knowledge infrastructure at multiple points, in both the formal departments and the spaces between them. In addition to the stakeholder meetings and the lists of user requirements, we have the informal conversations where we can learn the tacit information, for example, how research groups are defined by different parties and whether software versions are considered separate publications. It takes time to learn the right questions and to learn who might hold the answers or, if there is no pre-existing solution, with whom you can work to establish one. 
In this session, we will use the example of a publication repository to discuss the role of personal relationships throughout a project lifecycle, from conception through rollout and ongoing updates. I invite you to consider how to support the development of the informal network, how to identify tacit knowledge and information gaps, and how to take personality and communication skills into account when hiring for technical positions.
Diamond Open Access: Researcher’s Best Friend or just a Distant Relative?
Authors: Savolainen Eeva , Seitsonen Katri
Published: November 2023

The costs of Open Access publishing increase year by year (e.g. Zhang et al. 2022). Diamond Open Access (OA), in which journals and platforms do not charge fees to either authors or readers, has been hoped to provide solutions for the current situation. Also, the Council of the EU highlights the importance of Diamond OA in the recent Council Conclusions (8827/23). Various incentives, such as Action Plan for Diamond Open Access, DIAMAS and Craft-OA are established to support the development of Diamond OA. However, do researchers really use Diamond OA publication venues? Is Diamond OA a researcher’s best friend or just a rarely met distant relative?
Both international (Bosman et al. 2021) and national level (Frantsvåg 2022) studies have been conducted in relation with Diamond OA. This poster views the phenomenon on a local level by illustrating Diamond OA publishing at the Finnish Aalto University in 2018–2022. Aalto University consists of six schools: School of Arts, Design and Architecture, School of Business, School of Chemical Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering, School of Engineering and School of Science.
Aalto Current Research Information System, ACRIS contains the comprehensive publication data of university’s researchers. Information on Diamond OA journals was added to ACRIS journal records in the spring 2023. We identified Diamond OA journals in ACRIS by using Directory of Open Access Journals and journals’ web pages. This information in relation with publication data will form the basis for our analysis. We recognize that information on Diamond OA is incomplete and our results only indicative, since only a third of diamond OA journals are indexed in DOAJ (Bosman et al. 2021). 
The poster seeks to illustrate the usage of Diamond OA channels from various aspects. How has Diamond OA publishing evolved over the years? Which Diamond OA journals and publishers are the most popular? What are the differences between schools? What is the share of Diamond OA compared with other Open Access types and how has the usage of different Open Access paths evolved?
Thoth Archiving Network

Published: November 2023

Small and scholar-led presses make up much of the “long tail” of publishers without an active preservation policy in place, putting their significant contributions to the scholarly record at risk. As a recent study dissecting the archiving and preservation status of Open Access books suggests, there is “reason for concern for the long tail of OA books distributed at thousands of different web domains as these include volatile cloud storage or sometimes no longer contained the files at all” (Laakso, 2023).
And while large-scale publishers have existing agreements with digital preservation archives, such as CLOCKSS and Portico, small presses often languish without financial or institutional support, alongside challenges in technical expertise and staff resources (cf. Barnes et al. 2022). There are similar concerns over the long tail of open access journal publishers and projects like Project JASPER are working on preservation options for OA journals with no current preservation in place.
The Thoth Archiving Network, a recently-launched community initiative developed under the remit of the Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) project, seeks to address this gap and help small and scholar-led book publishers with finding ways to preserve their publications for generations to come. The Thoth Archiving Network would not solve every issue, but it will be an initial step towards essential community infrastructure, allowing for presses to use a push-button deposit option to archive their publications in multiple repository locations. This will create an opportunity to safeguard against the complete loss of their catalogue should they cease to operate.
With this presentation, we would like to provide an overview of the first steps taken so far to establish the Network, with a proof-of-concept now in place that provides a simple dissemination workflow for small publishers to archive their monographs in a network of participating institutional repositories (Internet Archive, Figshare/Loughborough, and, soon, DSpace/Cambridge). Several universities have already expressed their interest, and the team working on the Thoth Archiving Network would like to extend an invitation for more university repositories to take part, particularly from outside the UK.
The Thoth Archiving Network receives funding from the Research England Development Fund and Arcadia under the Open Book Futures project grant, which has been awarded to significantly expand and accelerate uptake of the open infrastructures developed in COPIM.
Water-use characteristics of Syzygium antisepticum and Adinandra integerrima in a secondary forest of Khao Yai National Park in Thailand with implications for environmental management
Authors: Ampornpitak Ratchanon , Nathalang Anuttara , Tor-ngern Pantana
Published: November 2023

Background

Southeast Asia has experienced widespread deforestation and change in land use. Consequently, many reforestation projects have been initiated in this region. However, it is imperative to carefully choose the tree species for planting, especially in light of the increasing climate variability and the potential alteration of plantation on the watershed water balance. Thus, the information regarding water-use characteristics of various tree species and sizes is critical in the tree species selection for reforestation.

Methods

We estimated tree water use (T) of dominant species including Syzygium antisepticum and Adinandra integerrima, hereafter Sa and Ai, respectively, in a secondary tropical forest in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, using sap flow data, and compared T between species and size classes. Additionally, we evaluated the responses of T of both species in each size class to environmental factors including soil moisture and vapor pressure deficit (VPD).

Results

Results showed consistently higher T in Sa compared to Ai across ranges of VPD and soil moisture. Under low soil moisture, T of Sa responded to VPD, following a saturating exponential pattern while Ai maintained T across different VPD levels, irrespective of tree size. No responses of T to VPD were observed in either species when soil water was moderate. When soil moisture was high, T of both species significantly increased and saturated at high VPD, albeit the responses were less sensitive in large trees. Our results imply that Ai may be suitable for reforestation in water-limited areas where droughts frequently occur to minimize reforestation impact on water availability to downstream ecosystems. In contrast, Sa should be planted in regions with abundant and reliable water resources. However, a mixed species plantation should be generally considered to increase forest resilience to increasing climate variation.
The impact of organizational commitment on knowledge management processes in project-based organizations with the mediating role of employee motivation
Authors: Rastegar Masoumeh , Arbabi Hani , Sobhiyah Mohammad Hossein
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of organizational commitment (with three dimensions of emotional commitment, continuous commitment, and normative commitment) on knowledge management processes (KMP) in project-based organizations, considering the mediating role of employee motivation. This research has an applied purpose and a descriptive and quantitative nature, which was conducted with a survey strategy. The statistical population is managers and experts of first-class construction companies in Tehran. Data collection was done through a standard questionnaire with 58 questions and hypotheses were tested with SmartPLS. The findings showed that emotional commitment and continuous commitment have a positive effect on employee motivation in project-oriented organizations, respectively, 0.56 and 0.2. Also, employee motivation has a positive effect of 0.51 on KMP in project-oriented organizations. Therefore, employee motivation plays a mediating role in influencing the dimensions of organizational commitment to KMP. But normative commitment does not have a positive effect on employee motivation in project-oriented organizations. On the other hand, employee motivation is influenced by their commitments to the organization and will have positive effects on intellectual capital management, KM and ultimately business performance. Among research backgrounds, the effect of organizational commitment dimensions on improving KMP with the mediating role of employee motivation in project-oriented organizations has not been investigated. It is expected that the results of this research can finally provide scientific and executive solutions to improve the performance of project-oriented organizations through the improvement of these components.
Assessment of Collateral Pathways in Carotid Occlusion: Investigating the Clinical Significance of Ultrasound and TCCS
Authors: Chen Peng , Wang Yao , Fu Jingjing , Tian Ju , Li Liang , Pu Tianning , Wang Mingyue , Zheng Chao , Zhang Yiran , Chen Jie
Published: November 2023

Background: Carotid occlusion is a severe condition closely associated with ischemic stroke. The prompt identification of patients presenting with extracranial carotid artery occlusion and the evaluation of collateral circulation compensation in these individuals bear significant clinical importance for subsequent patient management. Ultrasound offers significant advantages in the diagnosis of extracranial carotid artery stenosis and occlusion, while Transcranial Color-Coded Sonography (TCCS) is increasingly pivotal in assessing intracranial artery stenosis and determining blood flow direction. The objective of our study was to assess the concordance between ultrasound combined with TCCS and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in evaluating extracranial carotid occlusion and intracranial collateral circulation.

Methods: Patients with severe stenosis in the extracranial carotid artery were recruited for our study. All patients suspected of having occlusion in the extracranial carotid arteries underwent ultrasound, transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, overall accuracy, and kappa value were employed to assess the effectiveness and consistency of ultrasound and TCCS compared to DSA.

Results: Ultrasound demonstrated a sensitivity of 85.4%, specificity of 100%, positive predictive value of 100%, negative predictive value of 90.4%, and overall accuracy of 93.9% in the diagnosis of extracranial artery occlusion. The kappa value was calculated as 0.87 (P＜0.001), indicating substantial agreement between ultrasound and DSA measurements for consistency assessment. Transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) exhibited a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and overall accuracy of 97.6%, 100%, 100%, 66.7%, and 97.7% respectively in evaluating collateral circulation in patients with carotid artery occlusion. The kappa value was 0.79 (P＜0.001) in assessing the collateral circulation in patients with occluded carotid arteries.

Conclusions: Ultrasound proved to be a valuable tool for evaluating patients with occluded carotid arteries, while TCCS emerged as a reliable approach for assessing collateral pathways in individuals with extracranial carotid artery occlusion.

Authors: Saleel Ahammed A. K.  , Cholakkal Ibrahim
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the relationships between household expenditure patterns and education status, based on 386 households in Malappuram district between December 2021 and September 2022. Malappuram district, located in the southern Indian state of Kerala, is known for its distinctive features that encompass cultural, historical, and demographic aspects. Employing statistical tools such as Correlation, multiple regression, ANOVA, and chi-square, the research scrutinizes and quantifies these relationships. Notable findings underscore the prioritization of food and education in household budgets, emphasizing their pivotal role. The strong connection between education level and marital status unveils the interdependence of these decisions, reflecting societal norms. Financial implications of educational achievement shed light on how education acts as a mitigator of economic inequality by exposing income disparities. The correlation between total expenditure and education is positive, indicating that household spending plays a crucial role in achieving educational goals. The impact of food and medical expenses in affecting educational status is further highlighted by the regression analysis. When taken as a whole, these results add to a more sophisticated picture of the relationship between spending patterns and academic achievement. In the particular context of the Malappuram district, this knowledge provides insightful information for policymakers and programmes aiming to improve economic prosperity and educational accomplishment at the same time.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran mediasi brand image (BI) dan brand experience (BE) sebagai mekanisme yang mungkin menghubungkan pengaruh positif perceived quality (PQ) terhadap post-purchase intention (PPI). Dengan menggunakan Mixue, waralaba es krim dan teh yang sedang berkembang pesat sebagai obyek penelitian, studi ini melakukan survei terhadap 151 responden di Surabaya selama Mei-Juni 2023. Analisis PLS-SEM menunjukkan bahwa PQ berpengaruh positif terhadap PPI (direct effect: std. coef. = 0,201**; total effect: std. coef. = 0,742**; R2 = 0,771), menguatkan temuan penelitian terdahulu. Menariknya, penelitian ini menambahkan bahwa BE memiliki peran mediasi yang dominan pada pengaruh tersebut dibanding BI (indirect effect: std. coef. BE vs BI = 0,413** vs 0,127*). Informasi ini memberikan arah manajerial untuk meningkatkan PPI yaitu melalui penguatan indikator-indikator PQ yang berkaitan erat dengan pembentukan BE.

Published: November 2023

Companies are developing their brand image to drive online store patronage intention. Online store patronage intention is crucial in marketing as it shows consumers’ willingness to buy product in the online store and recommend the store to other consumers. However, it is currently unclear how brand image drives online store patronage intention in the context of fashion as well as the mediating variables in this relationship. This study aims to examine the influence of brand image on online store patronage intention directly and indirectly through customer perceived value and customer satisfaction. This study conducted a survey to test the proposed relationships. There were 221 respondents participating in the survey. To analyze the data, this study employed a structural equation modeling approach by evaluating the measurement model, followed by an evaluation of the structural model. This study found brand image affects online store patronage intention directly and indirectly through customer perceived value and customer satisfaction.

Importance

There is an urgent unmet need for a treatment addressing the core symptoms and associated maladaptive symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in preschool populations.

Objectives

To evaluate whether treatment of children with ASD aged 3 to 6 years treated with high-protease pancreatic therapy produces long- and short-term improvements in autism-associated maladaptive behaviors.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This cohort study at 32 sites across the US used a double-blind parallel group, delayed-start design comprising a 2-week blinded placebo run-in, and a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled segment (12 weeks). Children were recruited into the study in 2015, with data collection continuing until 2021. The analyses were completed from June 2021 to February 2022.

Interventions

All participants were randomly assigned to receive either 900 mg high-protease pancreatic replacement therapy or placebo with food 3 times a day for 12 weeks, followed by all receiving 900 mg high-protease pancreatic replacement therapy for 24 weeks.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was the irritability/agitation subscale of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC-I). All potential participants were screened using the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) with diagnosis confirmed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition, Text Revision) for ASD and the Autism Diagnostic Inventory–Revised (ADI-R). Outcomes were measured at the conclusion of the 12-week double-blind segment and at the conclusion of the 24-week open-label segment (total 36 weeks).

Results

A total of 190 participants (150 male [79%]), aged 3 to 6 (mean [SD] age, 4.5 [0.8]) years were randomized. Mixed model for repeated measures analysis performed on ABC-I demonstrated statistically significant differences of −2.49 (95% CI, −4.66 to −0.32; Cohen d = 0.364; P = .03) at the 12-week timepoint and -3.07 (95% CI, −5.81 to −0.33; Cohen d = 0.516; P = .03) at 36-week timepoint. No convergence was noted. Our high-protease pancreatic replacement (CM-AT) was well tolerated with no emergent safety concerns or related serious adverse events noted.

Conclusions and Relevance

This cohort study of preschool children sustained cumulative reduction in the maladaptive behavior of irritability in autism. This delayed-start analysis, used to demonstrate disease and condition modification, may prove to be an important tool to evaluate treatments for ASD.

Importance

Sham-controlled trials are needed to characterize the effect of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy on cardiovascular end points in patients with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Objective

To determine the effect of therapeutic levels of HGNS, compared to sham levels, on blood pressure, sympathetic activity, and vascular function.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized crossover therapy trial was conducted from 2018 to 2022 at 3 separate academic medical centers. Adult patients with OSA who already had an HGNS device implanted and were adherent and clinically optimized to HGNS therapy were included. Participants who had fallen asleep while driving within 1 year prior to HGNS implantation were excluded from the trial. Data analysis was performed from January to September 2022.

Interventions

Participants underwent a 4-week period of active HGNS therapy and a 4-week period of sham HGNS therapy in a randomized order. Each 4-week period concluded with collection of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), pre-ejection period (PEP), and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) values.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The change in mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure was the primary outcome, with other ABPM end points exploratory, and PEP and FMD were cosecondary end points.

Results

Participants (n = 60) were older (mean [SD] age, 67.3 [9.9] years), overweight (mean [SD] body mass index, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, 28.7 [4.6]), predominantly male (38 [63%]), and had severe OSA at baseline (mean [SD] apnea-hypopnea index, 33.1 [14.9] events/h). There were no differences observed between active and sham therapy in 24-hour systolic blood pressure (mean change on active therapy, −0.18 [95% CI, −2.21 to 1.84] mm Hg), PEP (mean change on active therapy, 0.11 [95% CI, −5.43 to 5.66] milliseconds), or FMD (mean change on active therapy, −0.17% [95% CI, −1.88% to 1.54%]). Larger differences between active and sham therapy were observed in a per-protocol analysis set (n = 20) defined as experiencing at least a 50% reduction in apnea-hypopnea index between sham and active treatment.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this sham-controlled HGNS randomized clinical trial, mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure and other cardiovascular measures were not significantly different between sham and active HGNS therapy. Several methodologic lessons can be gleaned to inform future HGNS randomized clinical trials.

Diatomic site catalysts (DAC) have better performance with higher metal content and more flexible active sites compared with single atomic site catalysts (SAC). Herein, the authors for the first time achieved Rh2 DAC on loose porous g‐C3N4 hollow nanospheres with N‐vacancies and applied to photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, overcoming the current limitations of the low electron–hole recombination rate and prolong the lifetime of the photogenerated carrier. The high specific surface area of hollow nanosphere facilitates the uniform dispersion and anchoring of Rh2 diatomic pairs, while the N‐vacancies induce a stable 3N/Rh‐Rh/1N2C coordination between the carrier and Rh2 diatomic pairs. The local charges on the support framework with N vacancies tend to be transferred to Rh2 diatomic site by 3N/Rh‐Rh/1N2C bridge, which made the charge enriched Rh2 diatomic site become the active center of reaction, enhance charge separation efficiency of Rh2/HCNS‐Nv. Compared with Rh1 SAC, further Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation confirms that Rh2 DAC can effectively stabilize rate‐limiting intermediates CHO*, and well weaken the C─O bond strength in CH3O* species, promote the generation and separation of CH4, resulting in high CO2 reduction efficiency and CH4 electron selectivity of up to 91.65%.
