VARIATION IN BIOFUEL POTENTIAL OF TWELVE CALOPYLLUM INOPHYLLUM POPULATIONS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Leksono Budi , Hendrati Rina Laksmi , Windyarini Eritrina , Hasnah Trimaria
Published: January 2025

The global energy crisis has raises demand for biofuel prices. It has driven the world to enhance environmentally-friendly renewable-energy (biofuel) production. Oil from the seeds of Calophyllum inophyllum (nyamplung) which can be harvested up to 50 years, is one of  such potential biofuel source. Methods for biofuel production from nyamplung seeds have been developed at an industrial scale by cooperative in Cilacap (Java) and Energy Self-Sufficient Villages (Desa Mandiri Energi) in Banyuwangi, Purworejo, Kebumen, Ujung Kulon (Java) and Selayar (South Sulawesi). However, there is only a limited-information available on biofuel potential, in term of  productivity and quality, from nyamplung populations. This paper reports the variations in biofuel potential among 12 populations in Indonesia (6 from Java, 6 outside Java). The oil was extracted using a combination of  vertical hot press (VHP) and screw press expeller (SPE) methods, followed by degumming to make refined oil, and esterification-transesterification to turn it into biodiesel. The result show great variation of  biofuel content among the population. Oil production percentage varies from 37-48.5% (VHP) and 50-58% (SPE) crude oil, 36-48% (VHP) and 40-53% (SPE) refined oil, and 1733% (SPE) for biodiesel. Seed resin content is responsible for most of the variation after degumming. DNA analysis shows genetic variation among populations ranges from intermediate within Java to high ouside Java and is intermediate within populations. Information about biofuel content and potential of  populations and genetic variation between and within population are important factors for establishment of  geneticallyimproved seed-sources for biofuel production from nyamplung.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TOTAL TREE HEIGHT AND DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT FOR TROPICAL PEAT SWAMP FOREST TREE SPECIES IN ROKAN HILIR DISTRICT, RIAU PROVINCE
Authors: Nugroho Nunung Puji
Published: January 2025

Reliable information on total tree height (H) is fundamental in forest resource management and forest ecological studies, including in forest biomass assessment. Adding an H variable can improve the performance of the biomass allometric equations by reducing the average deviation significantly. However, measuring H is relatively complex, less accurate, time consuming, and expensive. Thus, H is only measured for sampled trees within the plots, whilst diameter at breast height (DBH) is commonly measured for each tree during the forest inventory. The missing H information is usually estimated based on a stand-specific allometric relationship between H and DBH (H-D model) constructed from sampled trees. Despite extensive studies on H-D model for boreal forests and for single-species/plantation forests, few studies have focused on tropical forests. Furthermore, relationships for peat swamp forest tree species, and especially those in Indonesia, have not been widely published. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop site-specific H-D models for tropical peat swamp forests using linearized and non-linear regression functions. The results indicated that the non-linear models outperformed the linearized models based on the statistical parameters and the biological criteria. The modified logistic function (Model 7) is recommended for estimating H in the study area as it has comparable model performances to the exponential function (Model 6) and passed the point diameter-height of (0, 1.3). However, all five non-linear models performed equally well and the differences between them were trivial.
SOIL ORGANIC MATTER DYNAMICS UPON SECONDARY SUCCESSION IN IMPERATA GRASSLAND, EAST KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA
Authors: Yassir Ishak , Buurman Peter
Published: January 2025

Soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics upon secondary succession in Imperata grassland was studied by stable carbon isotope analysis. The data of litter and soil samples of twenty plots in four different stages of succession were compared. These different stages were represented by plots that were; (1) last burned 3 years before sampling (Imperata grassland), (2) last burned 9 years before, (3) a secondary forest (≥15 years) and (4) a primary forest.  Result showed that isotopic signatures of all soil horizons of the regeneration stages were statistically different from those of the primary forest. The A-horizon under the 3-years Imperata plot still contained 23% forest (C3) carbon, and this fraction increased to 51% in the-B-horizon. In the 9-years plot and in the secondary forest, the C3 carbon on the A-horizon increased to 51% and 96%, respectively.  In the topsoil, the loss of C4-C between the 3-years and the 9-years plot was significant, while it appeared negligible in the AB-horizon. The strong decay in the topsoil under Imperata grassland may be due to the rather high carbohydrate content of the SOM, which is considered easily decomposable. Further research is needed especially to explore the relation between carbon stocks and chemical of SOM composition. Such insight may help to better understand and predict soil carbon changes in relation to climate and vegetation change.
FERTILITY VARIATION OF Melaleuca cajuputi subsp. cajuputi AND ITS IMPLICATION IN SEED ORCHARD MANAGEMENT
Authors: Kartikawati Noor K.
Published: January 2025

Information about fertility variation of flowering trees in seed orchard including determining the quality of seed production and estimating the genetic diversity are still lacking. This paper evaluates fertility variation, effective population size and genetic diversity among cajuput trees in seedling seed orchard at Paliyan, Gunungkidul for optimizing seed orchard management. A total of 160 trees were observed in three flowering periods of 2011-2013. The fertility based on the number of flowers and fruits were registered for each tree at the age of 12, 13 and 14 years. Results show that there are similar patterns of fertility after three years observation. Sibling coefficients (Ψ) which show fertility variation during three flowering periods are 1.39, 1.25 and 1.43 respectively. They show deviation from random mating, because of individual imbalance for producing flowers and fruits. However, the number of fertile trees was comparatively higher at 2011. More than 15 families of effective population size were recorded each year and supported more than 75% individuals in seed orchard to contribute flowers and seeds. High value of genetic diversity was calculated based on fertility variation (0.965, 0.967 and 0.957, respectively). Fertility variation led to consequence on seed deployment, including seeds of fertile families which should be collected equally and mixed to compose equal proportion of seeds and to avoid domination of highly fertility families and genetic drift. Silvicultural treatments in seed orchard management were indispensable to promote fertility uniformity and to increase effective population size in seed orchard for obtaining maximal genetic gain.

Research on the structural design of exoskeleton assisted transport robot combined with reinforcement learning algorithm under the background of artificial intelligence
Authors: Liu Zhongnan
Published: January 2025

With the comprehensive interface between “Made in China 2025” and Industry 4.0, the handling mode of the handling system is constantly updated and developed, and a new type of handling mode, which is assisted by exoskeleton and other equipments to complete the handling work of workers, has been gradually applied. However, most of the existing exoskeleton-assisted robots are expensive and complicated in structure, which are not applicable to the actual needs of ordinary workers. Therefore, it is of great significance to design an exoskeleton-assisted handling robot that is applicable to the needs of ordinary workers. Based on this, this paper designs a relatively simple structure and low cost exoskeleton-assisted handling robot, and introduces the BN-Q-learning algorithm to give the control strategy of the robot, and finally simulates and analyzes the reliability of the handling robot, and the results show that the exoskeleton-assisted handling robot designed in this paper has a high reliability, and the force situation and the human body’s joints are relatively well matched when handling heavy objects. The results show that the exoskeleton assisted handling robot designed in this paper is highly reliable, and the force situation when handling heavy objects matches the human body joints.
Postural mechanics and artistic control in painting: Investigating the role of movement in artistic creation
Authors: Shen Chunlan
Published: January 2025

Postural mechanics and movement control play fundamental roles in artistic creation, particularly in painting, where precision and fluidity of motion directly influence artistic outcomes. This study investigated the biomechanical relationships between posture, movement, and artistic control in painting practice through a comprehensive analysis of 38 artists (22 Female, 16 Male) ranging from novice to expert-level practitioners in traditional Chinese and contemporary painting techniques. Using an integrated measurement approach combining Motion Capture System (MCS) (Vicon Motion System), electromyography (EMG), and force plate analysis, we examined postural dynamics, movement patterns, and their effects on artistic precision across varied painting conditions. Results revealed significant correlations between postural stability and painting precision (r = 0.82, p < 0.001), with experienced artists demonstrating superior postural control strategies compared to novices. Analysis of seated versus standing positions showed distinct advantages in stability metrics (88.5 ± 4.2 vs. 82.3 ± 5.6 stability index, p < 0.01), though standing positions offered a more excellent range of motion (58.7 cm ± 7.2 cm vs. 42.3 cm ± 5.6 cm brush reach, p < 0.001). Environmental factors, particularly easel configuration and lighting conditions, significantly impacted performance, with optimal easel height (90%–105% of eye level) correlating with enhanced precision scores (improvement of 18.4 ± 4.2%, p < 0.001). Tool selection analysis demonstrated that medium-length brushes (20 cm–30 cm) provided optimal comfort (8.7 ± 0.9 out of 10) and precision (88.6 ± 3.8 out of 100) scores. Extended painting sessions revealed progressive changes in muscle activation patterns, with expert artists maintaining more consistent movement patterns despite fatigue (8.4 ± 1.2% vs. 18.7 ± 3.2% movement variability, p < 0.001). These findings provide quantitative evidence for the importance of proper postural mechanics in artistic creation and offer practical insights for optimizing painting performance through improved biomechanical awareness and environmental setup.

Published: January 2025

Bireyler için bir risk faktörü teşkil eden çevresel problemler, yalnızca bireylerin sosyal çevresini değil fiziksel çevresini de ele almayı gerektiren bütüncül bir perspektifle araştırılmaktadır. Çevresel problemlerin dünyanın sürekliliğini ve insanların refahını tehdit eden krizlere yol açması nedeniyle hak temelli bir meslek olan sosyal hizmet, bu problemleri önlemek adına çevresel hak ve çevresel adalet gibi konuları araştırma alanına dahil etmiştir.
Koruyucu/önleyici sosyal hizmet ise hayatın doğal akışını tehdit eden ekolojik koşullar sebebiyle henüz olumsuz etkilenmemiş toplumsal kesimlere yönelik koruyucu, etkilendi ise tedavi edici ve güçlendirici çalışmalar gerçekleştirmeyi kendine hedef seçmiştir. Böylece doğal olarak önümüze yeşil sosyal hizmet kavramı gelmektedir. İklim değişikliği, gıda yetersizliği ve su kıtlığı gibi çevresel problemlerin yoksul ve dezavantajlı grupları daha derinden etkileyeceği, yeni dezavantajlılar oluşturacağı için, sosyal çalışmacıların bu alanda önemli roller üstlenerek farkındalık çalışmaları yapmaları gerektiği söylenebilir. Sosyal hizmet disiplininin, toplumsal sorunlara koruyucu ve önleyici yaklaşımlara dayanarak incelemesine rağmen çevresel sorunlara yeterince eğildiği söylenemez.
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, dünya genelinde ve Türkiye özelinde “yeşil sosyal hizmet” kavramına nasıl bir anlam yüklendiğini ortaya koymak, kavrama ilişkin farklı bakış açıları sunmaya, onu geliştirmeye, pratiğe aktarılmasının aciliyetine dikkat çekmek hedeflenmiştir. Belirlenen amaçlar doğrultusunda literatür taraması yoluyla yeşil sosyal hizmete ilişkin uygulamalar araştırılmış, bu uygulamaların geliştirilebilir yönlerine vurgu yapılmış, bireyi güçlendirebilmek için ekolojik çevreden daha fazla istifade etmenin gerekliliğine odaklanılmıştır.

Published: January 2025

A World Health Organization (WHO) report highlights that non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, accounted for approximately 71% of all deaths globally by 2020. This research focuses on enhancing the capacity of health administration in managing community nutrition education programs to mitigate disease risk in vulnerable populations. Utilizing quantitative methods, the study employs t-tests to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education counseling before and after implementation.The sample comprised 27 individuals selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis revealed a notable increase in students' understanding of environmental sanitation, rising from 79.3% in the pretest to 85.93% in the posttest. Additionally, health workers exhibited a 20% improvement in knowledge regarding environmental diseases following program implementation. Compliance with sanitation and hygiene policies increased by 22%, indicating successful enforcement of stricter sanitation measures aimed at reducing environmental disease risks.Moreover, significant improvements were observed in water quality monitoring (25%) and routine training (28%), demonstrating the program's effectiveness in strengthening administrative systems to minimize disease risks. This study underscores that enhancing health administration capacity and community nutrition education through counseling and regular training effectively reduces environment-based disease risks. Ongoing education and consistent monitoring of the program’s long-term impact are essential for sustainability. Ultimately, this program serves as a promising model for future environmental health prevention efforts, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and education in combating NCDs.
Highly efficient hybrid tandem white organic light-emitting diodes with two different color-emitting units
Authors: Li Xiao , Tsuboi Taiju , Duan Lian
Published: January 2025

White-color organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have aroused wide interests for future lighting because of low energy consumption in principle, while still suffer from the degradation by Joule heating and polaron-induced quenching under high luminance caused by high current in practical. To obtain high current efficiency, which means high luminance at low current density, tandem WOLEDs with multiple electroluminescence (EL) units connected in series with charge generation layers (CGLs) have been developed. Here we report the improved hybrid tandem WOLED with two EL units, EL1 and EL2, where EL1 and EL2 generate fluorescent blue and phosphorescent yellow emissions from a metal-free material BCzVBi and a Ir-complex (fbi)2Ir(acac), respectively, with CGL composed of a HATCN/NPB bilayer. The white-light emitting device shows the maximum current efficiency and power efficiency of 60.2 cd/A and 29.6 lm/W, respectively, without out-coupling structure. A low driving voltage of 6.5 V at 1,000 cd/m2 is realized, which is an important value because such a luminance is required for actually employed lighting device. The blue emission appears from 5.4 V, and the light color changes from yellowish to bluish white during 5.4 V to 13.4 V, which could be explained by the energy level structures of the device and proved by the J-V characteristics. Additionally, this tandem WOLED also shows photovoltaic effect. This work provides a design of room light source whose color temperature could be tuned through applied voltage when needed, and a display system for low-current operated amorphous Si-TFT due to its high current efficiency.
COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF MULLIGAN MOBILIZATION WITH MOVEMENT AND COMPRESSION PAIN RELEASE PHENOMENON ON PAIN, ROM AND FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES IN PATIENTS WITH PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME
Authors: Zafar Aabroo , Azam Adeera , Nasir Nowal , Riaz Ammara , Mustafa Rida , Nasir Basit Ali
Published: January 2025

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by diffuse anterior knee pain, often exacerbated by compressive forces on the patellofemoral joint. This condition impacts individuals' ability to perform daily activities, with altered joint mechanics contributing to symptoms. Effective conservative treatment approaches, such as Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) and Compression Pain Release Phenomenon (PRP), are essential for pain reduction and functional improvement. Comparative evidence on these techniques' efficacy in improving pain, range of motion (ROM), and functional abilities remains limited.
Objective: To compare the effects of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Compression Pain Release Phenomenon on pain, range of motion, and functional abilities in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted on 34 participants aged 25–45 years, with a confirmed diagnosis of PFPS and unilateral anterior knee pain (AKP) for over two months. Participants were recruited from the physical therapy departments of Faisal Hospital, Mujahid Hospital, and Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups (n=17 each). Group A received MWM, while Group B underwent PRP, with both interventions delivered over 8 sessions (2 sessions per week). Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), while ROM was measured with a goniometer. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 27, and statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: The mean age of participants in Group A was 32.76 ± 5.60 years, and in Group B, it was 33.33 ± 4.58 years. Gender distribution indicated that 70.6% of participants were female and 29.4% were male. Group A demonstrated a significant reduction in mean VAS scores from 5.87 ± 0.99 to 2.43 ± 0.57 (p<0.05), while Group B improved from 6.32 ± 1.26 to 2.85 ± 0.78 (p<0.05). ROM in Group A improved significantly from 119.71° ± 2.85 to 135.59° ± 2.70 (p<0.05), and Group B showed an increase from 119.36° ± 3.22 to 134.40° ± 2.42 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Both Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Compression Pain Release Phenomenon were found to be effective in reducing pain and improving ROM in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two interventions, indicating comparable efficacy.

Autorka wskazuje, że skuteczność nowych przepisów w dużej mierze zależy od przyszłej praktyki sądowej, stąd oceny ich efektywności trzeba będzie dokonać po pewnym czasie.
La gobernanza regional compleja del comercio electrónico latinoamericano: una perspectiva comparada de la Alianza del Pacífico, la Comunidad Andina y el Mercosur
Authors: Castro-Silva Julissa
Published: January 2025

Objective/context: The proliferation in the number, depth, and scope of e-commerce agreements has integrated shared agendas and memberships within Latin America’s complex regional governance, making cooperation and fragmentation non-exclusive practices. Therefore, this article asks about the conditions that have facilitated or limited the development of a Latin American digital market. Methodology: A comparative qualitative analysis of the Pacific Alliance, the Andean Community, and Mercosur, together with process tracing, will shed light on their progress in this area, taking into account the degree of linkage they maintain with three mechanisms that foster collaboration and coordination dynamics among various institutions an d actors. Conclusions: The analysis shows that, within systems characterized by growing institutional density and diversity— such as the Latin American e-commerce environment—regional cooperation can be facilitated when regional trade agreements are embedded in a broader trade regime, where there is a clear sequencing among different agreements, and when orchestrators and policy networks are present. In contrast, their absence leads to ineffective agreement implementation and increased regional fragmentation. Originality: This work connects studies on complex regional governance with a relatively underexplored agenda in Latin American academic literature: e-commerce.
Tusi y policonsumo: consumo problemático de drogas sintéticas en jóvenes infractores de ley
Authors:   , Cavieres Troncoso Catalina
Published: January 2025

El consumo de drogas sintéticas como el tusi y la ketamina entre jóvenes infractores de ley en Chile está emergiendo como un desafío crítico que trasciende la salud pública, la exclusión social y el sistema de justicia. Este fenómeno, vinculado al aumento del policonsumo y la reincidencia delictiva, evidencia la urgente necesidad de reimaginar las políticas públicas orientadas a la prevención, tratamiento y reinserción social de adolescentes en contextos de alta vulnerabilidad.Este estudio ahonda en las dinámicas detrás del consumo de estas sustancias, explorando cómo influyen en los ciclos de exclusión social y en las barreras de acceso a programas especializados. Con una perspectiva integral, se analizan patrones de consumo, experiencias vividas por los jóvenes y la efectividad de las estrategias actuales, arrojando luz sobre un problema que crece en las sombras del sistema institucional.A través de un enfoque mixto que combina datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, se revela una transformación en los patrones de consumo juvenil: las drogas sintéticas están desplazando a las tradicionales, especialmente en contextos urbanos. Los hallazgos destacan barreras estructurales como la falta de infraestructura adecuada para desintoxicación y atención psiquiátrica, subrayando la necesidad de estrategias adaptadas territorialmente y centradas en la realidad de los jóvenes.Este análisis invita a una reflexión relevante: no solo sobre las políticas actuales, sino también sobre el compromiso institucional para enfrentar las causas de fondo de esta crisis, repensando el futuro de una juventud atrapada entre el consumo problemático y la exclusión.
Empresas em dificuldades financeiras gerenciam os seus resultados? Uma análise de empresas brasileiras
Authors: Sousa Ribeiro Gustavo , Ribeiro Kárem Cristina de Sousa
Published: January 2025

Este estudo tem como propósito analisar a relação entre dificuldades financeiras enfrentadas por empresas brasileiras de capital aberto e o gerenciamento de resultados (REM) no período de 2016 a 2020. A abordagem metodológica adotou regressão com dados em painel desbalanceado. A variável dependente, o nível de REM, foi estimada com base no modelo desenvolvido por Roychowdhury (2006), que identifica possíveis manipulações nas atividades reais através de irregularidades em fluxos financeiros. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam uma relação negativa entre REM e a variável independente FD1 (Financial Distress 1), calculada a partir do EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes). Tal evidência sugere que empresas em situação de dificuldade financeira reduzem a intensidade do gerenciamento de resultados, provavelmente para sinalizar a gravidade da crise e buscar benefícios fiscais e jurídicos em programas de recuperação.A principal contribuição deste estudo consiste no avanço frente à literatura existente, por meio da utilização de modelos aprimorados e variáveis específicas, oferecendo insights valiosos para gestores no processo de tomada de decisão em empresas brasileiras. Para trabalhos futuros, recomenda-se a ampliação da pesquisa, incorporando novos indicadores financeiros e ampliando a base de dados para abranger empresas de diferentes setores econômicos e outros países.
Reversible Manifestations of Hypothyroidism Section causing Diagnostic Dilemma: A Case Series
Authors: Hazra Kaushik , Maitra Somnath , Roy Sunetra , Ghosh Isha
Published: January 2025

Hypothyroidism causes a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, with various signs and symptoms. Some symptoms are common and aid in diagnosis, while the uncommon manifestations may be the sole feature causing diagnostic delays, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Hereby the authors present a combination of three cases (50-year-old female, 22-year-old female, 56- year-old female): ascites, congenital hypothyroidism and myxoedema coma, respectively. Ascites in hypothyroidism responds to treatment and can help avoid unnecessary investigations; however, since this presentation is rare, clinicians should remain alert for low Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) with high protein ascites. myxoedema coma was diagnosed after excluding cerebrovascular accident, sepsis and dyselectrolytemia, with low body temperature serving as a diagnostic clue. Congenital hypothyroidism should be identified and treated promptly to prevent complications in newborns, as thyroid hormone is crucial for growth and development. Deficiency may lead to severe complications in newborns, so it is essential to rule out other causes. The importance of the present case series lies in the fact that hypothyroidism may present with variable manifestations. It is crucial to identify this hormone deficiency, as replacement with widely available thyroid hormone supplementation can promptly reverse some of the clinical manifestations, thereby aiding in accurate diagnosis and timely management with appropriate therapy.

Importance

Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) frequently fail during treatment causing therapy interruption, pain, recatheterization, and additional health care costs. Midline catheters (MCs) may improve functional dwell time and reduce failure compared with traditional PIVCs.

Objective

To compare device failure of MCs with PIVCs

Design, Setting, and Participants

This was a pragmatic, randomized clinical superiority trial with an embedded internal pilot study conducted from July 2020 to May 2022. The study took place in a quaternary pediatric hospital in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 1 to 18 years requiring peripherally compatible intravenous therapy for 4 days or longer.

Interventions

Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive a PIVC or MC, stratified by age (≤5 years, >5 years). One catheter was studied per patient.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was all-cause device failure, defined as premature cessation of device function. Secondary outcomes included number of insertion attempts, insertion failure, pain (on insertion), procedural time, patient/parent satisfaction (with insertion), device dwell time, device complications during dwell time, additional vascular access devices required to complete treatment, clinician satisfaction (at removal), and health care costs.

Results

Of the 128 patients randomly assigned to study groups, 127 patients (median [IQR] age, 7 [2-13] years; 71 male [56%]) had a device inserted, with 65 (51.2%) in the PIVC group and 62 (48.8%) in the MC group. All patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Device failure was lower in patients in the MC group (10 [16.1%]) compared with those in the PIVC group (30 [46.2%]; odds ratio [OR], 0.22; 95% CI, 0.10-0.52; P <.001). MCs were associated with fewer insertion attempts (mean difference [MD], −0.3; 95% CI, −0.5 to 0; P = .04), increased dwell time (MD, 66.9 hours; 95% CI, 36.2-97.5 hours; P <.001), and fewer patients required additional vascular access devices to complete treatment in the MC group (4 [6.5%]) and PIVC group (19 [29.2%]; OR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.05-0.52; P = .002). Compared with PIVCs, use of MCs was associated with greater patient (9.0 vs 7.1 of 10; P = .002) and parent (9.1 vs 8.2 of 10; P = .02) satisfaction and lower health care costs (AUS −$151.67 [US −$101.13] per person; 95% credible interval, AUS −$171.45 to −$131.90 [US −$114.20 to −$87.95]).

Conclusions and Relevance

Findings suggest that MC insertion for patients requiring peripherally compatible intravenous therapy for 4 days or longer should be prioritized to reduce the resource intensive, expensive, and burdensome sequelae of device failure.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Fulfilling the 2019 EULAR/American College of Rheumatology Classification Criteria for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Bass Ronald D. , Moore Duncan F. , Steen Virginia D.
Published: September 2023

Objective

There is limited literature describing the overlap of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the studies have employed a range of case definitions. Our study used the new EULAR/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE classification criteria to define SSc‐SLE cases among our center's SSc cohort.

Methods

This is a single‐center, retrospective study of a previously described cohort of patients with SSc. Patient data were re‐abstracted to evaluate for fulfillment of the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE. Demographic, laboratory, clinical features, and mortality were compared among patients with SSc‐SLE and patients with SSc alone.

Results

Among the 402 patients with SSc that were analyzed, 40 (10%) fulfilled the 2019 EULAR/ACR SLE classification criteria. Neuropsychiatric and renal involvement were rare. An initial SLE diagnosis was purported in 43% of the patients with SSc‐SLE and 7% of patients with SSc alone (P < 0.001). Patients with SSc‐SLE were more likely to be female, African American, and with limited cutaneous SSc. Anti–U1‐RNP antibody positivity prevalence was 30% among patients with SSc‐SLE and 6.6% among patients with SSc alone (P < 0.001). Death during follow‐up occurred in 12 patients (30%) with SSc‐SLE and in 81 patients (22%) with SSc alone, but there was no difference in survival among the groups per log rank test (P = 0.404).

Conclusion

Ten percent of patients with SSc fulfill the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE. These patients comprise a distinct demographic, serologic, and clinical phenotype but have similar severe SSc‐specific end‐organ damage and mortality as patients with SSc alone. Patients with SLE with Raynaud phenomenon should be evaluated for SSc‐specific autoantibodies and scleroderma organ involvement.
Realizing High Efficiency and High Color Quality for All‐Fluorescence White Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes by Interlayer‐Sensitizing Configuration with Electron‐Capturing Agent
Authors: Liu Hao , Fu Yan , Tang Ben Zhong , Zhao Zujin
Published: September 2023

As a promising next‐generation lighting technology, all‐fluorescence white organic light‐emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have advanced rapidly but still face the formidable challenge of achieving high efficiencies and high color quality simultaneously. Herein, an interlayer sensitization strategy assisted by electron‐capturing agent with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is proposed for the fabrication of high‐performance all‐fluorescence WOLEDs. The proof‐of‐concept three‐color devices with an interlayer‐sensitizing configuration are designed, and a low concentration of TADF electron‐capturing agent is codoped with a red conventional fluorescence (CF) emitter to reduce exciton loss. The major energy transfer from TADF sensitizing layer to red CF emitter combined with the supplementary energy transfer from TADF electron‐capturing agent to CF emitter can successfully increase exciton utilization. The synergistic effect endows the three‐color all‐fluorescence WOLEDs with high efficiencies, high color quality, and improved efficiency stability and operational stability, simultaneously. The resultant WOLEDs successfully attain remarkable external quantum efficiency of 31.0%, outstanding color rendering index of 93 and long operational lifetime. The record‐beating comprehensive performances of these WOLEDs strongly demonstrate the great potential of the proposed strategy for the exploration of high‐performance all‐fluorescence WOLEDs.
