Published: November 2020

AbstractPremature birth is associated with high prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairments in surviving infants. The hippocampus is known to be critical for learning and memory, the putative role of hippocampus dysfunction remains poorly understood in preterm neonates. Particularly, hemispherical asymmetry of the hippocampus has been well-noted, either structurally or functionally. How the preterm birth impairs the hippocampal development, and to what extent the hippocampus was impaired by preterm birth asymmetrical has not been well studied. In this study, we compared regional and local hippocampal development in term born neonates (n=361) and prematurely born infants at term-born equivalent age on MRI studies (n = 53) using T2 MRI images collected from the Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP); We compared 1) volumetric growth; 2) shape development in the hippocampal hemispheres using Laplace–Beltrami eigen-projection and boundary deformation between the two groups; and 3) structural covariance between hippocampal vertices and the cortical thickness in cerebral cortex regions. We demonstrated that premature infants have smaller volume for the right hippocampi, while no difference was observed for the left hippocampi. Lower thickness was observed in the hippocampal head in both hemispheres for preterm neonates compared to full-term peers, while an accelerated hippocampal thickness growth rate was found in left hippocampus only. Structural covariance analysis demonstrated that in premature infants, the structural covariance between hippocampi and limbic lobe were severely impaired compared to healthy term neonates only in left hemisphere. These data suggest that the development of the hippocampus during the third trimester may be altered following early extrauterine exposure, with high degree of asymmetry. These findings suggested that the hippocampus shows high degree of vulnerability, particularly asymmetrical vulnerability or plasticity, in preterm neonates at the term-born equivalent age compared to full-term healthy controls.

In this paper the back-side-illuminated Percival 2-Megapixel (P2M) detector is presented, along with its characterization by means of optical and X-ray photons. For the first time, the response of the system to soft X-rays (250 eV to 1 keV) is presented. The main performance parameters of the first detector are measured, assessing the capabilities in terms of noise, dynamic range and single-photon discrimination capability. Present limitations and coming improvements are discussed.
HR at the top table
Authors: Mayo Andrew 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspiration of Human Resources (HR) professionals to “be at the top table”; what that means; and how such professionals can become highly valued members of business teams.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper discusses what is meant by “top table” and the ambitions of HR professionals to be there. It looks at the prevalence of HR in top teams; how professionals are prepared for senior roles; and it provides a model for effective top team membership.

Findings
The paper discusses the statistics of HR directors in top teams and concludes it should be no surprise that HR is not frequently represented on main boards. It makes the case nevertheless for HR to be on executive teams and finds about two-thirds of major companies recognise this. This paper describes a model of three key functional roles for the top team member and analyses the contributions that can be made.

Practical implications
The practical applications relate to the development of HR professionals and to the expectations that team leaders – such as Chief Executive Officers – should have from the HR team member.

Originality/value
This paper is based mostly on the writing, models and experience of the author but draws on relevant research papers.

Published: November 2020

PurposeTo develop a structural model based on Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach to analyse the barriers to integration of Lean with Industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachIntegrated lean and I4.0 is essential for optimising customer value, rapid product design and redesign to comply with customer demand on time. Also, manufacturing processes to be made more flexible, intelligent and agile. In this context, integrated lean and Industry 4.0 barriers were identified and an ISM approach is employed to identify hierarchical structure of barriers and analysed.FindingsThe result obtained reflects that barriers “increasing competitive pressure”, “lack of long-term vision”, “lack of management support”, “lack of capital fund” are found to be the important barriers that affect the integration of lean and I4.0.Research limitations/implicationsIn the present study, 16 barriers are analysed. In future, additional barriers could be included.Practical implicationsThe driving and dependence power of barriers were analysed from ISM model and it provided guidance for practitioners to concentrate on barriers for integrating lean and I4.0.Originality/valueThe idea of developing structural model for analysis of barriers to integration of lean with I4.0 is the original contribution.
Numerical modeling on varying patch repair size of cracked beam using engineered cementitious composites
Authors: Cahyati Martyana Dwi , Huang Wei-Hsing , Hsu Hsieh-Lung 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the size effect of the patched repairing material applied to the cracked beam.

Design/methodology/approach
Numerical analysis was conducted on a simply supported cracked beam with a dimension of 200 × 25 × 15 cm using ABAQUS software. The behavior of concrete and engineered cementitious composites (ECC) in the simulation are described as concrete damage plasticity model. Linear elastic-plastic model was used to represent the behavior of rebar steel. The type of patching consisted of the varying ratio of lengths and depths, including patching length to total length ratios of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4, and patching depth to total depth ratios of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5.

Findings
Results show that variations in the patching length and depth ratios affect the maximum flexural load, stiffness and ductility of the repaired beam. It was also found that repairing the cracked beam by using ECC provides higher flexural load of the beam than the use of conventional concrete, owing to the superior tensile strength of ECC.

Originality/value
ECC is the cementitious-based mortar that contains the special selected poly vinyl alcohol fiber having high tensile strength. ECC has been known to exhibit high ductility, high tensile strength and improve durability performance. Thus, ECC is suitable as repairing material for patching cracked beam. By investigating the size of the patched repairing material applied to the cracked beam, the structural performance of repairing beam and the effectiveness of the various patching size were achieved.

Published: November 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo understand the patients’ perspectives of the pilot Better at Home program in order to inform the development of bed substitution rehabilitation services.MethodsProspective qualitative study using semi‐structured interviews undertaken 3‐6 months following program participation was performed. Interviews were transcribed and themes developed by two independent researchers.ResultsNineteen participants (14 females) were interviewed. Major themes found included high satisfaction with the service and a high regard for the importance of communication both within the team and with the patients. Patients had inconsistent views on the provision of services with some feeling that the program was not specific to their needs, whilst others felt it was focused and flexible. Involvement in decision‐making for referral to the service was also not always fully understood.ConclusionThis study provides important information that can be utilised in the development of any bed substitution home‐based model of care.
Pathogenesis and pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Authors: Wang Zhangyang , Zhang Yiying , Hu Fan , Ding Jing , Wang Xin 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIdiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), the most common type of adult‐onset hydrocephalus, is a potentially reversible neuropsychiatric entity characterized by dilated ventricles, cognitive deficit, gait apraxia, and urinary incontinence. Despite its relatively typical imaging features and clinical symptoms, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of iNPH remain unclear. In this review, we summarize current pathogenetic conceptions of iNPH and its pathophysiological features that lead to neurological deficits. The common consensus is that ventriculomegaly resulting from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics could initiate a vicious cycle of neurological damages in iNPH. Pathophysiological factors including hypoperfusion, glymphatic impairment, disturbance of metabolism, astrogliosis, neuroinflammation, and blood‐brain barrier disruption jointly cause white matter and gray matter lesions, and eventually lead to various iNPH symptoms. Also, we review the current treatment options and discuss the prospective treatment strategies for iNPH. CSF diversion with ventriculoperitoneal or lumboperitonealshunts remains as the standard therapy, while its complications prompt attempts to refine shunt insertion and develop new therapeutic procedures. Recent progress on advanced biomaterials and improved understanding of pathogenesis offers new avenues to treat iNPH.

AbstractObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta‐analysis of the research evidence examining the effectiveness of nonpharmacological stuttering therapy on communication and psychosocial functioning for adults who stutter.MethodsA systematic search of nine electronic databases for studies published from database inception to December 2018 was completed to identify randomized controlled trials of interventions for adults with developmental stuttering. Two reviewers independently screened articles and assessed methodological quality using the Cochrane risk‐of‐bias tool. Treatment outcomes were classified using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.ResultsThe search yielded nine randomized controlled trials, comprising 276 participants, using a diverse range of interventions which were classified into four categories: speech restructuring interventions; speech restructuring plus psychological interventions; interventions with stimulating techniques and interventions targeting anxiety. Meta‐analysis showed that interventions did not demonstrate a significant pooled difference when compared to comparison groups in improving speech fluency (standardized mean difference [SMD] = –0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] –1.14 to 0.45, I2 = 81%, P = .39), overall experience of stuttering (mean difference [MD] = –0.10, 95% CI –0.36 to 0.15, I2 = 0%, P = .43) and quality of life (SMD = –0.32, 95% CI –0.83 to 0.19, I2 = 0%, P = .21).ConclusionsThis article identified a diverse range of treatments and outcome measures for adults who stutter, with meta‐analysis highlighting no significant pooled difference between intervention and comparator groups in improving communication and psychosocial functioning.

AbstractPlant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance plant growth and defence. Via plant‐mediated effects, PGPR have been reported to impact the performance of generalist leaf‐chewing insects either negatively or positively. However, only a few insect species, mainly feeding on aboveground tissues, have thus far been investigated. Here, we investigated how addition of rhizobacteria to the soil in which cabbage plants are growing affects the performance of three chewing insect herbivores, two leaf chewers and one root feeder. In a greenhouse experiment, we grew white cabbage (Brassica oleracea) plants in soil supplemented with and without the rhizobacterium Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r. We investigated the consequences for three important insect pests of Brassica species, larvae of the cabbage moth Mamestra brassicae, the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella, or the cabbage root fly Delia radicum after 5 weeks of plant growth. We recorded aboveground plant biomass, insect biomass, plant defence marker gene expression levels and plant defence‐related hormone concentrations. Rhizobacterial inoculation increased aboveground plant biomass in non‐infested plants but not in infested plants. Rhizobacterial inoculation affected insect performance differently: on PGPR‐inoculated plants biomass of Plutella xylostella was lower, while biomass of Delia radicum was higher than on control plants. However, no effect was found on Mamestra brassicae biomass. Rhizobacterial inoculation increased the expression of the defence marker gene LOX2 in P. xylostella‐infested plants and MYC2 in M. brassicae‐infested plants. Transcription levels of the plant defence marker gene PAL1 showed upregulation between inoculated and non‐inoculated insect‐free plants. Levels of the phytohormones jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and abscisic acid were similar in inoculated and non‐inoculated plants. We conclude that rhizobacterial inoculation has potential to be applied in the protection of cabbage crops against the diamondback moth whereas this does not apply to reducing damage caused by the cabbage moth or cabbage root fly.

AbstractClass III peroxidases (CIII Prxs) play critical roles in plant immunity by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the functions of CIII Prxs in rice (Oryza sativa L.) immunity are largely unexplored. Here, we report a Prx precursor, OsPrx30, that is responsive to the bacterial blight Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). OsPrx30 was primarily expressed in rice roots, leaves, and stems, and its protein product was mainly localized at the endoplasmic reticulum. Overexpression of OsPrx30 enhanced the plant's susceptibility to Xoo by maintaining a high level of peroxidase (POD) activity and reducing the content of H2O2, whereas depletion of OsPrx30 had the opposite effects. Furthermore, we identified an AT‐hook transcription factor, OsATH1, that is specifically bound to the OsPrx30 promoter. As observed in plants overexpressing OsPrx30, depletion of OsATH1 enhanced susceptibility to Xoo. Finally, we demonstrated that depletion of OsATH1 increased histone H3 acetylation at the AT‐rich region of the OsPrx30 promoter. Taken together, these results reveal a mechanism underlying the POD‐induced natural resistance to bacterial diseases and suggest a model for transcription regulation of Prx genes in rice.
Dynamic Associations of Parent–Adolescent Closeness and Friend Support With Adolescent Depressive Symptoms Across Ages 12–19
Authors: Mak Hio Wa , Fosco Gregory M. , Lanza Stephanie T. 
Published: November 2020

Supportive relationships with parents and friends reduce adolescent risk for depression; however, whether and how the strength of these associations changes across adolescence remains less clear. Age‐varying associations of mother–adolescent and father–adolescent closeness and friend support with depressive symptoms were examined across ages 12.5–19.5 using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 4,819). Positive relationships with mothers, fathers, and friends were associated with lower depressive symptoms across adolescence, and the associations were generally stable across age. The association between father–adolescent closeness and depressive symptoms was stronger for girls than for boys during mid‐adolescence. Mother–adolescent closeness was more strongly negatively associated with depressive symptoms in the context of higher friend support during mid‐adolescence.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the association between gestational age at birth and hospital admissions to age 10 years and how admission rates change throughout childhood.DesignPopulation based, record linkage, cohort study in England.SettingNHS hospitals in England, United Kingdom.Participants1 018 136 live, singleton births in NHS hospitals in England between January 2005 and December 2006.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcome was all inpatient hospital admissions from birth to age 10, death, or study end (March 2015); secondary outcome was the main cause of admission, which was defined as the World Health Organization’s first international classification of diseases, version 10 (ICD-10) code within each hospital admission record.Results1 315 338 admissions occurred between 1 January 2005 and 31 March 2015, and 831 729 (63%) were emergency admissions. 525 039 (52%) of 1 018 136 children were admitted to hospital at least once during the study period. Hospital admissions during childhood were strongly associated with gestational age at birth (<28, 28-29, 30-31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42 weeks). In comparison with children born at full term (40 weeks’ gestation), those born extremely preterm (<28 weeks) had the highest rate of hospital admission throughout childhood (adjusted rate ratio 4.92, 95% confidence interval 4.58 to 5.30). Even children born at 38 weeks had a higher rate of hospital admission throughout childhood (1.19, 1.16 to 1.22). The association between gestational age and hospital admission decreased with increasing age (interaction P<0.001). Children born earlier than 28 weeks had an adjusted rate ratio of 6.34 (95% confidence interval 5.80 to 6.85) at age less than 1 year, declining to 3.28 (2.82 to 3.82) at ages 7-10, in comparison with those born full term; whereas in children born at 38 weeks, the adjusted rate ratios were 1.29 (1.27 to 1.31) and 1.16 (1.13 to 1.19), during infancy and ages 7-10, respectively. Infection was the main cause of excess hospital admissions at all ages, but particularly during infancy. Respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions also accounted for a large proportion of admissions during the first two years of life.ConclusionsThe association between gestational age and hospital admission rates decreased with age, but an excess risk remained throughout childhood, even among children born at 38 and 39 weeks of gestation. Strategies aimed at the prevention and management of childhood infections should target children born preterm and those born a few weeks early.
