AbstractIn this study, Sm3+‐doped double‐perovskite Mg2InSbO6 phosphors were synthesized via high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. Mg2InSbO6 belongs to the double‐perovskite family with a space group of R (No.148). The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum illustrates that Mg2InSbO6:0.05Sm3+ phosphor can emit intense orange‐red emission light at 607 nm due to the 4G5/2→6H7/2 transition. The optimum concentration of Mg2InSbO6:xSm3+ is confirmed to 0.05 mol. The asymmetric ratio (4G5/2→6H9/2/4G5/2→6H5/2) of Mg2InSbO6:0.05Sm3+ phosphor is 2.73. The quenching temperature exceeds 500 K, illustrating that Mg2InSbO6:Sm3+ sample has excellent heat resistance. The high color purity and correlated color temperature (CCT) of Mg2InSbO6:Sm3+ phosphors are obtained. Furthermore, a white light‐emitting diode (w‐LED) is successfully fabricated, possessing CCT of 6769 K and high color rendering index (Ra) of 89. Therefore, the orange‐red‐emitting Mg2InSbO6:Sm3+ phosphors exhibit great potential to apply in solid‐state lighting fields.

Published: June 2021

AbstractBackground and AimThe thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10) was originally identified from the thymus, which plays a key role in the development of many cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of TMSB10 involved in GC have not been understood.MethodsWe sought to determine the expression of TMSB10 in human GC tissues and illustrate whether it is correlated with the clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis in GC patients. Its roles and potential mechanisms in regulating tumor growth, invasion, and angiogenesis were evaluated by TMSB10 knockdown/overexpression of GC cells in vitro and ex vivo.ResultsMarked overexpression of TMSB10 protein expression was observed in GC cells and tissues, which was associated with the advanced tumor stage and lymph nodes (LN) metastasis of GC patients. Furthermore, prognostic analysis showed that GC patients with high TMSB10 expression had a remarkably shorter survival and acted as an important factor for predicting poor overall survival in GC patients. Moreover, TMSB10 overexpression promoted, while TMSB10 knockdown the proliferation, EMT process, and angiogenesis of GC cells.ConclusionThe study highlights that TMSB10 may hold promise as potential prognosis prediction biomarker for the diagnosis of GC and a potential therapeutic target, which will facilitate the development of a novel therapeutic strategy against GC.
Carbonate tufas as archives of climate and sedimentary dynamic in volcanic settings, examples from Gran Canaria (Spain)
Authors: Rodríguez‐Berriguete Álvaro , Camuera Jon , Alonso‐Zarza Ana Maria 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThree Holocene tufas from Gran Canaria volcanic island were studied with the aim of deciphering their sedimentary evolution through space and time. Las Temisas tufa (south‐eastern arid part of the island) is dominantly composed of oncoids, intraclasts, phytoclasts, coated stems, minor thin stromatolites, and a high amount of siliciclastics. It was deposited in a fluvial system with variable flow velocities and palustrine conditions areas, which alternated with high energy events. Azuaje tufa (northern humid part of the island) is composed of coated stems, stromatolites, oncoids and phytoclasts, with relatively low amounts of siliciclastics, suggesting slow‐flowing and palustrine conditions and a relatively low incidence of (high energy) floodings. Los Berrazales tufa (north‐west of Gran Ganaria, the most humid one), is mainly composed of coated stems and crystalline crusts, formed in a laminar flow regime. Dominant clastic sedimentation in Las Temisas and high calcite growth rates in Los Berrazales led to a poor development of stromatolites in comparison with Azuaje. Las Temisas and Azuaje deposits have similar upward evolution with decreasing trend in siliciclastics and increasing trend in carbonates. However, Las Temisas has higher siliciclastic and lower phytoclastic contents suggesting a less vegetated area and more arid climate than in the other deposits. Additionally, tufas record local events common in volcanic terrains. Azuaje presents three units bounded by erosive discontinuities, which reveal significant erosion by enhanced runoff that could be caused by loss of vegetation due to wildfires related to volcanic eruptions at headwaters. Las Temisas record a possible interruption in sedimentation represented by aligned boulders due to rockfalls from the hillsides. These deposits formed from waters with similar chemistry providing to the carbonates their similar signals in δ13C–δ18O stable isotopes and 87Sr/86Sr ratios like that of the volcanic rocks. This work shows how, in volcanic areas, tufas are unique archives of the climate, vegetation and volcanic‐related processes, because all imprint the sedimentary regime of tufa deposition.

AbstractBackgroundThere are limited standards guiding the selection and processing of blood components specific for neonatal and pediatric transfusions. Therefore, blood banks (BBs) and transfusion services must create their own policies and procedures.Study Design and MethodsThe American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) Pediatric Transfusion Medicine Subsection Committee developed a 74‐question survey to capture neonatal and pediatric BB practices in the United States.ResultsThirty‐five centers completed the survey: a response rate 15.8%. Responses indicated that most carry a mixed inventory of red blood cells (RBCs); 94.2% allow more than one type of RBC product for small‐volume (SV) and large‐volume (LV) transfusions to neonatal and pediatric patients. Many had storage age thresholds for RBCs transfused to neonates (SV = 60%, LV = 67.7%) but not older pediatric patients. The use of Group O for nonurgent RBC transfusion in neonates was common (74.2%). Responses related to special processing of RBCs and platelets indicated that 100% RBC and platelets are leukocyte‐reduced (LR) for neonates and 97% for non‐neonates. Irradiation of RBCs and platelets was commonly performed for neonatal transfusion (88.6%). Providing cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative products, volume reduction, and washing were variable. All centers transfused single‐donor apheresis platelets; 20% allowed pathogen reduction (PR). The majority of centers have strategies limiting the amount of incompatible plasma transfused; however, few titrate ABO isoagglutinins in plasma‐containing products (20% for platelets and 9.1% for plasma).ConclusionsVariability exists in BB practice for neonatal and pediatric transfusion. Future studies are needed to understand and define best BB practices in these patient populations.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
A probabilistic model for quantifying the number of load cycles for nucleation of forging flaws into a crack has been developed. The model correlates low cycle fatigue (LCF) data, ultrasonic testing (UT) indication data, flaw morphology and type with the nucleation process. The nucleation model is based on a probabilistic LCF model applied to finite element analyses (FEA) of flaw geometries. The model includes statistical size and notch effects. In order to calibrate the model, we conducted experiments involving specimens that include forging flaws. The specimens were machined out from heavy duty steel rotor disks for the energy sector. The large disks, including ultrasonic indications on the millimeter scale, were cut into smaller segments in order to efficiently machine specimens including manufacturing related forging flaws. We conducted cyclic loading experiments at a variety of temperatures and high stresses in order to capture realistic engine operating conditions for flaws as they occur in service. This newly developed model can be incorporated into an existing probabilistic fracture mechanics framework and enables a reliable risk quantification allowing to support customer needs for more flexible operational profiles due to the emergence of renewable energy sources.
Long.Term Reactivity Change and Control: On.Power Refuelling
Authors: Shen Wei , Rouben Benjamin 
Published: June 2021

There are 2 concepts related to the “age” of fuel: irradiation (fluence) and fuel burnup.
The fuel irradiation in a given fuel bundle, denoted ω, is defined as the time integral of the thermal flux in the fuel during its residence time in the core. Another term for irradiation is fluence. Irradiation is also known as the thermal-neutron exposure of the fuel. The units of irradiation are neutrons/cm2, or more conveniently, neutrons per kilobarn, n/kb. Since the cut-off of the thermal-energy range may be defined differently in different computer codes, the fuel irradiation may vary from computer code to computer code, and caution must therefore be exercised when comparing irradiation values using different codes. In documents, it has been more and more usual to report values of fuel burnup rather than fuel irradiation, as burnup does not suffer from differences in definition between codes.

ObjectiveDuring the influenza epidemic season, the fragile elderlies are not only susceptible to influenza infections, but are also more likely to develop severe symptoms and syndromes. Such circumstances may pose a significant burden to the medical resources especially in the emergency department (ED). Disposition of the elderly patients with influenza infections to either the ward or intensive care unit (ICU) accurately is therefore a crucial issue.Study designRetrospective cohort study.Setting and participantsElderly patients (≥65 years) with influenza visiting the ED of a medical centre between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2015.Primary outcome measuresDemographic data, vital signs, medical history, subtype of influenza, national early warning score (NEWS) and outcomes (mortality) were analysed. We investigated the ability of NEWS to predict ICU admission via logistic regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.ResultsWe included 409 geriatric patients in the ED with a mean age of 79.5 years and approximately equal sex ratio. The mean NEWS ±SD was 3.4±2.9, and NEWS ≥8 was reported in 11.0% of the total patients. Logistic regression revealed that NEWS ≥8 predicted ICU admission with an OR of 5.37 (95% CI 2.61 to 11.04). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was calculated as 0.95, and the adjusted area under the ROC was 0.72. An NEWS ≥8 is associated with ICU-admission and may help to triage elderly patients with influenza infections during the influenza epidemic season.ConclusionThe high specificity of NEWS ≥8 to predict ICU admission in elderly patients with influenza infection during the epidemic season may avoid unnecessary ICU admissions and ensure proper medical resource allocation.

ObjectiveTo determine the association of meteorological factors and air pollutants (MFAPs) with fracture and to estimate the effect size/time lag.DesignThis is a nationwide population-based ecological study from 2008 to 2017.SettingEight large metropolitan areas in Korea.ParticipantsOf 8 093 820 patients with fractures reported in the Korea National Health Insurance database, 2 129 955 were analysed after the data set containing patient data (age, sex and site of fractures) were merged with MFAPs. Data on meteorological factors were obtained from the National Climate Data Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Additionally, data on air pollutants (atmospheric particulate matter ≤2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5), PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide) were obtained from the Air Korea database.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWe hypothesised that there would be an association between MFAPs and the incidence of fracture. A generalised additive model was used while factoring in the non-linear relationship between MFAPs and fractures as well as a time lag ≤7 days. Multivariate analysis was performed. Backward elimination with an Akaike information criterion was used to fit the multivariate model.ResultsOverall, in eight urban areas, 2 129 955 patients with fractures were finally analysed. These included 370 344, 187 370, 173 100, 140 358, 246 775, 6501, 228 346, 57 183 and 719 978 patients with hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, ankle, foot and spine fractures, respectively. Various MFAPs (average temperature, daily rain, wind speed, daily snow and PM2.5) showed significant association with fractures, with positive correlations at time lags 7, 5–7, 5–7, 3–7 and 6–7 days, respectively.ConclusionsVarious MFAPs could affect the occurrence of fractures. The average temperature, daily rain, wind speed, daily snow and PM2.5 were most closely associated with fracture. Thus, improved public awareness on these MFAPs is required for clinical prevention and management of fractures.
Association between sleep quality and type 2 diabetes at 20-year follow-up in the Southall and Brent REvisited (SABRE) cohort: a triethnic analysis
Authors: Ong Zhen Ling , Chaturvedi Nishi , Tillin Therese , Dale Caroline , Garfield Victoria 
Published: June 2021

BackgroundThe risk of developing type 2 diabetes associated with poor sleep quality is comparable to other lifestyle factors (eg, overweight, physical inactivity). In the UK, these risk factors could not explain the two to three-fold excess risks in South-Asian and African-Caribbean men compared with Europeans. This study investigates (1) the association between mid-life sleep quality and later-life type 2 diabetes risk and (2) the potential modifying effect of ethnicity.MethodsThe Southall and Brent REvisited cohort is composed of Europeans, South-Asians and African-Caribbeans (median follow-up 19 years). Complete-case analysis was performed on 2189 participants without diabetes at baseline (age=51.7±7 SD). Competing risks regressions were used to estimate the HRs of developing diabetes associated with self-reported baseline sleep (difficulty falling asleep, early morning waking, waking up tired, snoring and a composite sleep score), adjusting for confounders. Modifying effects of ethnicity were analysed by conducting interaction tests and ethnicity-stratified analyses.ResultsThere were 484 occurrences of incident type 2 diabetes (22%). Overall, there were no associations between sleep exposures and diabetes risk. Interaction tests suggested a possible modifying effect for South-Asians compared with Europeans for snoring only (p=0.056). The ethnicity-stratified analysis found an association with snoring among South-Asians (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.85), comparing those who snored often/always versus occasionally/never. There were no elevated risks for the other sleep exposures.ConclusionThe association between snoring and type 2 diabetes appeared to be modified by ethnicity, and was strongest in South-Asians.
The role of perceived discrimination in predicting changes in health behaviours among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study
Authors: Forde Allana T. , Sims Mario , Wang Xu , Barber Sharrelle , Diez Roux Ana V. 
Published: June 2021

Background
This study examined whether perceived discrimination was associated with health behaviours over time and whether associations of discrimination with behaviours varied by attribution of discrimination.

Methods
Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate ORs and CIs for the associations of discrimination (everyday, lifetime, stress from lifetime discrimination) with health behaviours (cigarette smoking, alcohol use) over time among 3050 African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study from visit 1 (2000–2004) to visit 3 (2009–2013). Smoking status was classified as persistent current, persistent former, persistent never, current to former and former/never to current smokers. Alcohol use status was classified as persistent heavy, persistent moderate/none, heavy to moderate/none and moderate/none to heavy alcohol users.

Results
Higher everyday discrimination was associated with persistent current smoking (OR per SD higher discrimination 1.26, 95% CI 1.11,1.43) and with persistent former smoking (high vs low OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.02,1.70) relative to persistent never smoking. Similar findings were observed for lifetime discrimination and persistent current smoking (high vs low OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.15,2.95) and with persistent former smoking (high vs low OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.06,1.98). Participants reporting lifetime discrimination as very stressful compared with not stressful were more likely to be persistent former smokers (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.04,1.99). Associations did not vary by discrimination attribution.

Conclusion
Discrimination did not predict changes in smoking status or alcohol use. Discrimination was associated with persistent current smoking status, which may provide a plausible mechanism through which discrimination impacts the health of African Americans.
Evidence of cushioning of tobacco tax increases in large retailers in Australia
Authors: Bayly Megan , Scollo Michelle , Wakefield Melanie A 
Published: June 2021

BackgroundTobacco companies may attempt to minimise the impact of tobacco tax increases on consumers by gradually passing on the price rise over several months. This study examined whether there was evidence of large Australian tobacco retailers engaging in this practice (known as cushioning) over a period including both routine indexation and large annual tobacco excise increases.MethodsAdvertised prices of nine factory-made cigarette (FMC) and nine roll-your-own tobacco (RYO) products were recorded from two stores monthly from December 2016 to December 2019. Per cent change in price from the previous month was analysed for FMC and RYO products, controlling for year, month, tobacco company and supermarket chain.ResultsSignificant main effects of month were observed for FMC and RYO products (both p<0.001). Large, significant average increases in per cent change in price were observed in September for FMC (6.51%) and RYO (11.45%) products, the month of the annual excise increase and prices also significantly increased in October (FMC: 3.01%; RYO: 1.91%). Significant increases were also observed in the months after the March annual routine indexation: by 1.10% in May for FMC products and by 1.09% in April for RYO products.ConclusionThis study has demonstrated evidence of cushioning of tax increases of FMC and RYO products in large Australian supermarkets. The monthly per cent change in price significantly increased several months after routine excise indexation and in the 2 months following a large annual excise increase. Further research with a larger sample of products and stores is needed to confirm these findings.
SERS and RI sensing properties of heterogeneous dimers of Au and Si nanospheres

Published: June 2021

Heterogeneous dimers of Au and Si nanoparticles are expected to exhibit different plasmon properties from that of homogeneous noble metal nanoparticle dimers. It is crucial to unveil the potential applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and refractive-index (RI) sensing of the prototype dimer of Au and Si nanospheres. The near-field coupling between the two components within the dimer is revealed to not affect the resonance energy of Si mode in the extinction spectra, but decrease that of Au mode. It also accounts for the plasmon ruler behavior of the fractional shifts of both its dipolar peak wavelength of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and corresponding RI sensitivity factor [Formula: see text], which provide another kind of substitute to estimate the gap distance in between components within the dimer as that of noble metal nanoparticle dimers. Additionally, by tracking the inflection point shift of the corresponding extinction spectra, its [Formula: see text] is revealed to improve 36% than that of traditional one. The maximum [Formula: see text] and SERS enhancement factor [Formula: see text] at 2 nm gap distance are demonstrated to reach 336 nm RIU[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. This work paves a new way for developing efficient SERS and RI sensing substrates by combining noble metal and dielectric nanoparticles.
A representação dos curdos no melodrama turco: "Sila, prisioneira do amor"
Authors: Imaral Pricyla Weber 
Published: June 2021

Este artigo retoma de maneira resumida a analise desenvolvida a respeito das representações das populações curdas nas telenovelas (séries) turcas, buscando entender o poder da mídia em influenciar na percepção de nacionalidade dos cidadãos. A pesquisa feita através da telenovela “Sila Prisioneira do Amor” Sila, originalmente é um drama turco (série contendo três temporadas), escrito por Gül Oğuz[1] e distribuídas pela emissora ATV. Foi exibida pela primeira vez em 2006 na Turquia. No Brasil, chegou em de 2016, foi adaptada para telenovela com título em português, Sila, Prisioneira do Amor contendo 199 episódios, transmitida pela Rede Bandeirantes em horário nobre. Sila, assim como no Brasil, teve grande público em toda América Latina, alcançando mais de dezesseis países do continente. A partir da análise da telenovela foi desenvolvido um estudo a respeito da narrativa melodramática como maneira de promover estilos de vida e cultura. Neste cenário, buscamos extrair os estereótipos que corroboram para a estigmatização da população curda no país através dos meios de telecomunicação, neste caso, o melodrama turco “Sila, prisioneira do amor.” Nos alicerçamos então, na fonte ficcional para expor como os processos de silenciamento histórico estão implícitos na trama e trazem uma reflexão sobre o que seria uma cultura “atrasada.” Neste aspecto entendemos o melodrama como um auxiliar pedagógico que atua na educação do ethnos nacional. Entendendo a televisão como uma ferramenta que auxilia no processo de modernização do país, que há anos encontra-se alinhadas às ideologias do desenvolvimento, para moldar seus públicos e trazê-los para a modernidade nacional conforme aponta Abu-Lughod (2002).
