Abstract
The abundant production of sago in Indonesia is not followed by a consumption rate. Currently, the utilization of sago flour is only limited to raw materials for making traditional food. One of the innovations in sago flour processing as a raw material for the manufacture of extruded snacks is to be mixed with corn grit. The quality of extrudate snack is influenced by extrusion process variables such as composition and moisture content. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects composition and moisture content of mixed corn grit and sago flour on the physical characteristics of extrudates and determine the treatment variation that produces the extrudate with the best preference. Extruded snacks made from corn grit and sago flour were processed using SYSLG-IV twin-screw extruder with capacity of 15 kg/h. This experiment conducted with two treatments, sago flour composition (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) and moisture content (14%, 16%, 18%). The result revealed that sago flour composition had significant effect on expansion ratio (2.31-3.68), particle density (0.14-0.41 g/cm3), bulk density (0.094-0.214 g/cm3), extrudate moisture content (1.02-3.67 %wb), water absorption index (6.70-7.70), water solubility index (1.48-6.62%.). The moisture content of the mixture had significant effect on all measured physical characteristics including hardness (2.15-9.72 N/mm2). Based on Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution analysis, the treatment that produced extrudates with the best preference was 30% sago flour composition and 14% moisture content. The results are useful for optimizing the extrusion process so that food sustainability can be achieved by increasing food diversification.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The sapodilla fruit has a short shelf life, lasting approximately 6-9 days at room temperature before it begins to decay. The objective of the study was to examine the application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in extending the shelf life of sapodilla fruit, and to see if the impact may be reversed by introducing ethylene as a ripening stimulus. The study was conducted using a completelyrandomized design (CRD), with three different treatments: (1) control, (2) 1-MCP at a concentration of100 ppb at a temperature of 13°C, and (3) 1-MCP at a concentration of 100 ppb at a temperature of 13°C followed by the addition of ethylene. An investigation was undertaken to identify the fruit ripening process, which included measuring weight loss, colour, firmness, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, and vitamin C content. The results indicated that the application of 1-MCP significantlyextended the shelf life of sapodilla. Although ethylene was added after 1-MCP application, however it was found out that the effect of 1-MCP was irreversible.
Phenomenal Properties and the Intuition of Distinctness
Authors: Melnyk Andrew 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
We experience the intuition of distinctness when, for example, we attend introspectively to the phenomenal redness of a current visual sensation and it seems to us that that very property could not literally be a physical property of neural activity in a certain tiny region of our brain. The book begins by arguing that the intuition of distinctness underlies certain otherwise puzzling attitudes manifested in debates both inside and outside philosophy about whether physicalism (or materialism) can accommodate phenomenal properties (or qualia). It then argues systematically against the dualist suggestion that the intuition of distinctness gives us reason to reject the physicalist view that phenomenal properties are physical, and to adopt property dualism instead. In the course of the argument, it defends an unorthodox version of representationalism and offers positive accounts of what makes our introspective knowledge of phenomenal properties special, how introspection could tell us that an introspected property is physical, and what the subjectivity of phenomenal properties could be. Finally, after critically surveying previous attempts to account for the intuition of distinctness consistently with physicalism, it elaborates a novel explanation of the intuition of distinctness. The intuition arises because introspection is, in a certain way, conceptually encapsulated, as a result of which we are unable to do something that we can do in the case of every other kind of identity claim that we believe or entertain, and therefore unable to believe, or even to imagine believing, that an introspected phenomenal property is physical.
Marcel Proust
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This book is a brief guide to the thought and work of Marcel Proust, arguably France’s most famous literary writer. It explores a series of questions raised in Proust’s monumental novel, In Search of Lost Time: how we can feel at home in the world; how we can make genuine contact with other human minds; how we can find enchantment in a world without God; how art can transform our lives; whether an artist’s life can shed light on their work; what we can know about the world, other people, and ourselves; when not knowing is better than knowing; how sexual orientation affects questions of connection and identity; who we are, deep down; what memory tells us about our inner world; why it might be good to think of our life as a story; and how we can feel like a single, unified person when we are torn apart by change and competing desires. And it asks why Proust wrote about all this in the form of an intricate 3,000-page novel, rather than producing a philosophical treatise. Proust’s novel isn’t just rich in theoretical interest, thanks to its reflections on memory, society, art, same-sex desire, knowledge, self-understanding, self-fashioning, and the unconscious mind. Rather, it offers an experience—a long, demanding, but joyous experience—which can itself be transformative for minds and souls.
Art and life
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Here we learn why Proust would not have wanted this book to include a biography. In sharp disagreement with Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve, one of the most prominent literary critics of the 19th century, Proust claimed that an artist’s life and work have nothing to do with each other: “a book is the product of a different self from the self we manifest in our habits, in our social life, in our vices.” Assessing artworks based on their authors’ lives is, for Proust, a cruel and misleading reduction; getting excited about objects and places just because they connect in some way to a writer is “idolatry.” Chapter 1 explains how this idea applies not only to Proust’s characters (Bergotte the novelist, Elstir the painter, Vinteuil the composer) but also to Proust’s own novel, which is not, as many have thought, a thinly veiled autobiography. And it offers cheerful advice about which Proust-related tourist sites to visit.
Plot and character
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter summarizes the plot of Proust’s 3,000-page novel, presenting it as a story in which the main character seeks identity, connection, belonging, vocation, and above all enchantment. It details his efforts to find these things in high society, travel, friendship, love, and nature, before finally discovering them in memory and art. Thanks to art, this chapter claims, the narrator ends up receiving a secular version of just about everything promised by Christianity, from mystery, wonder, and depth to epiphany, miracle, communion, and even a new form of the infinite.
Memories and impressions
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the phenomenon of “involuntary memory,” famously central to Proust’s novel. It also distinguishes between instances of involuntary memory and what Proust calls “impressions,” the latter being sensory experiences that show us who we are, rather than who we have been. Involuntary memory restores forgotten memories, allowing us to experience them in full force; it restores a past version of ourselves; and it reveals the existence of a self outside of time. Impressions, meanwhile, help us understand what that “true self” actually looks like: it is an idiosyncratic conceptual scheme or perspective, one that shows up in the metaphors we use, the people we choose to spend time with, and the way we experience the world.
Art and artists
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter looks at the depiction of art in Proust’s novel. Drawing on the narrator’s statements about fictional novelist Bergotte, fictional painter Elstir, and fictional composer Vinteuil, as well as on the nature of Proust’s novel itself, it suggests that art stands to offer many important benefits. Art can reveal things not just about the way the world is but also about the way the world feels to us, and even about the way it appears, uniquely, to the artist. (This last benefit is a kind of miracle, on the narrator’s account—one that does nothing less than re-enchant the world.) In addition, art can help us to understand ourselves as individuals. It can take everyday, mediocre objects and transfigure them into things of glorious beauty. And it can provide us with a set of formal models, allowing us to import a special kind of order into the story of our lives.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Although some case reports have reported gastrointestinal perforation after COVID-19, epidemiological studies investigating this association are scarce. We aimed to assess the risk of gastrointestinal perforation associated with COVID-19. We conducted a self-controlled case series (SCCS) study using a Japanese nationwide, large-scale claims database. We identified patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 2020 and October 2022 who had undergone surgery for gastrointestinal perforation. Conditional Poisson regression was used to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of gastrointestinal perforation during the 4-week risk period compared with the control period. Our SCCS study included 276 patients. The IRR for gastrointestinal perforation was 6.62 (95% CI 3.52 to 12.47) for the first week, 3.27 (95% CI 1.51 to 7.09) for the second week, and 1.45 (95% CI 0.63 to 3.33) for the third and fourth weeks following COVID-19. The risk was lower in female patients than in male patients. In a subgroup analysis, the results were consistent regardless of age. This study suggests a significant association between COVID-19 and gastrointestinal perforation, particularly during the first 2 weeks. These findings highlight the need to recognize COVID-19 as a risk factor for gastrointestinal perforation.
Understanding inequitable healthcare: Methodological approaches, challenges, and opportunities
Authors: Matson Theresa E , Galea Sandro 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper considers methodological approaches that can help better understand inequity in healthcare, focusing on five key domains: availability, patient-centeredness, access, effectiveness, and implementation. We present conceptual definitions of each of these domains, example research questions pertaining to inequity in each domain, and methodological approaches that can contribute to research about health inequities. We discuss the role of multilevel, participatory, and longitudinal research, particularly using representative, real-world data. We propose alternatives to randomized controlled trials that better suit questions regarding inequities in healthcare. We discuss challenges and considerations for research on inequities in healthcare alongside opportunities for innovation and prioritization of methodologies that are underutilized in epidemiology and health services research. We emphasize throughout that each of these five domains are interconnected and essential to be understood jointly if we are to improve our understanding of the role of healthcare in perpetuating health inequities.
A Survey of US Collegiate Student-Athletes and Athletic Trainers on Sports-Related Concussion Knowledge and Reporting Habits
Authors: Vo Sydnie , Lin Yone-Kawe , Siriwardhana Chathura , Nichols Andrew W. 
Published: December 2024

Objective:
To assess sports-related concussion (SRC) knowledge levels in US collegiate student-athletes (S-As) and athletic trainers (ATs) and identify factors that influence reporting of SRC by S-As.

Design:
Cross-sectional, retrospective study.

Setting:
University training room/clinic visits.

Participants:
National Collegiate Athletics Association Division 1 S-As and ATs.

Interventions:
A survey consisting of demographics, SRC knowledge, prior SRC history, and reporting habits.

Main outcome measures:
Sports-related concussion knowledge scores, SRC reporting habits.

Results:
Response rates were 67% (350/520) for S-As and 100% (11/11) for ATs. S-As represented 21 sports (mean age 20.3 years, range 18–24, 54% male). Sports-related concussion knowledge scores were lower in male S-As (median 73%; interquartile range [IQR] 55%-85%) than in female S-As (79%; 55%–88%) (P < 0.05). Sports-related concussion knowledge scores differed between collision/contact (C/C) sport (79%; 67%–86%) and noncontact (NC) sport (73%; 55%–83%) S-As (P < 0.05). Twenty-nine percent (n = 102) of the S-As experienced a prior SRC, of which 67% (n = 68) reported their injury to a medical/authority figure. Male and C/C S-As were significantly less likely to report SRC than female, limited-contact, or NC sport S-As. Sports-related concussion knowledge scores were higher in ATs (97%; 89%–99%) than in S-As (76%; 55%–85%) (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
S-As have variable levels of SRC knowledge, with female and C/C sport S-As scoring the highest. Most S-As with prior SRC reported these to a medical/authority figure, but male and C/C sport S-As were less likely to do so. As expected, ATs have higher SRC knowledge than S-As.
Role of continuous renal replacement therapy in management of the preliver transplant patient
Authors: Yenebere Priya , Kubal Chandrashekhar A. , Jan Muhammad Yahya 
Published: December 2024

Purpose of review
Highlight the importance of acute kidney injury (AKI) among liver transplant candidates, its importance of survival and the vital role of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) as a supportive therapy.

Recent findings
Kidney dysfunction is common in the preliver transplant patient. Early recognition, broad diagnostic work up, and therapeutic interventions are vital in minimizing morbidity and mortality in this critically ill group of patients. Liver dysfunction can impact kidney function in multiple ways, leading to worsening of clinical illness. High mortality and poor prognosis in those with AKI without CRRT and Liver Transplant are highlighted.

Summary
Etiology of AKI may not be as important as is the potential for liver transplant (LT) listing in offering CRRT. Non eligibility for a LT does not by default imply non eligibility for CRRT. Multidisciplinary approach should be adopted among those with a need for CRRT in the setting of end-stage liver disease. Goals of care conversations are key, in evaluating the role of CRRT in this group of individuals as they have a very high risk of mortality.
Diagnostic Performance of Imaging Methods in Predicting Lung Cancer Metastases
Authors: Aşık Murat , Kazci Zeynep Nihal 
Published: December 2024

Objective
This study aimed to investigate the possibility of distant organ metastasis using an algorithm developed to evaluate the morphology and localization of lung masses.

Methods
Patients diagnosed with lung cancer between 2016 and 2023 were included. The lesion's morphological characteristics, proximity to important structures, and maximum standardized uptake value were recorded. Six common metastatic sites were identified: the contralateral lung, liver, brain, adrenal glands, bone, and other regions. The relationship between the characteristics of the mass and the metastatic location was investigated.

Results
A total of 383 patients (260 men, 68%) with malignant lung lesions with a mean ± SD age of 65.50 ± 12.34 years (range: 36–74 years) were included in the study. Among them, 242 were diagnosed with primary lung cancer, and 106 (43.8%) exhibited metastases to other organs with primary lung tumors. Distant organ metastases were most frequently detected in the bones (n = 45, 42.5%) and were more frequent in male patients and lesions adjacent to the ribs and bronchi, those involving mediastinal lymph nodes, irregular contours, and maximum standardized uptake values above 11.15 ± 5.67 (mean ± SD).

Conclusions
Evaluating radiological imaging of malignant lesions in patients with lung cancer using an algorithm that considers morphological and neighborhood characteristics can provide predictive information regarding the possibility of metastasis of malignant lung lesions and the metastatic location.
Corneal Graft Rejection: Is it Reflected in Peripheral Immune Cells? Results of a Prospective Multicenter Study (VISICORT)

Published: December 2024

Background.
Allogeneic graft rejection is the leading cause of graft failure in corneal transplantation (CT) despite the immune privilege of the anterior chamber and corneal bed. The ability to identify patients at higher risk of acute rejection before or after CT could have a major impact on the clinical management of these patients.

Methods.
To address this important issue, a multicenter European cohort of low-risk (n = 142) and high-risk (n = 102) CT recipients was established, and the immune system was evaluated in detail in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and plasma before and 6 and 12 mo posttransplantation. Eleven patients in the low-risk group and 11 in the high-risk group experienced acute rejection.

Results.
Mass spectrometry analysis of plasma showed a high similarity in composition between patients with and without acute rejection, regardless of their preexisting clinical risk. Pretransplant and longitudinal immune cell analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using deconvolution of transcriptomic profiling and high-dimensional flow cytometry revealed a lack of immune-related biomarkers associated with acute rejection.

Conclusions.
Our results indicate that the immune response leading to acute rejection of CT is unlikely to be detected in the peripheral blood and suggest that analysis of compartments in close proximity to the cornea is more likely to yield clinically applicable predictive biomarkers.
Calculation and experimental study in the braking temperature of aluminum-based and cast steel brake discs
Authors: Zhao Chong , Yao Manqi , Han Xiaoming , Qi Wei , Su Linlin , Fu Rong , Gao Fei 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the temperature difference between aluminum-based brake disc (ABD) and cast steel brake disc (CSBD) for rail vehicles in the braking process, which is related to the popularization and use of ABD.

Design/methodology/approach
Two friction pairs composed of ABD, CSBD and copper-based powder metallurgy brake pad were studied in this paper. The temperature characteristics of the two friction pairs were compared by 1:1 braking test and simulation calculation.

Findings
When the speed is 160–250 km/h and the braking pressure is 18 and 29 kN, the calculated maximum temperature of CSBD is 574°C and 681°C, respectively, which is higher than that of ABD 49°C–148°C and 73°C–217°C. Under the test conditions, the maximum temperature of CSBD is 487°C and 624°C respectively, which is higher than that of ABD 63°C–95°C and 63°C–188°C. The temperature difference between ABD and CSBD increases with the increase of braking pressure and speed. The surface temperature distribution of CSBD is “three-peak,” whereas that of ABD is “single-peak.”

Originality/value
This paper reveals the temperature difference between ABD and CSBD and provides data support for promoting the use of ABD.

To go green or not: the impact of competition intensity and global institutional diversity on multinational enterprises’ investments in dynamic green capabilities
Authors: Koparan Ipek , Koparan Alper 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate how competition intensity and global institutional diversity influence the decisions of multinational enterprises (MNEs) to invest in dynamic green capabilities (DGCs) for green transformation. It aims to understand why some MNEs systematically embrace green transformation through DGCs while others resist, focusing on the role of these two factors.

Design/methodology/approach
This study takes a conceptual approach, conducting a critical analysis of existing literature to explore the effect of competition intensity and global institutional diversity on MNEs’ investments in DGCs.

Findings
The paper proposes that competition intensity and global institutional diversity magnify the economic benefits of deploying DGCs. MNEs that navigate decision-making challenges – such as myopia, heightened perceived risks and loss aversion – are better positioned to invest in DGCs.

Originality/value
The novelty of this paper lies in its comprehensive approach. While prior research has explored aspects of DGCs, stakeholder pressures and MNE green transformation, the influence of global stakeholders on MNEs’ investments in DGCs remains underexplored. Previous studies have either examined DGCs in isolation or focused on stakeholder roles in environmental strategies without linking them to DGCs and MNEs. This study addresses this gap by investigating how global stakeholders drive MNEs’ decision-making on DGC investments, emphasizing two key factors: competition intensity and global institutional diversity.
