Effect of Mental Health Care Visits on HIV Care Outcomes
Authors: Bussard Morgan E. , Ashraf Sunbal , Summers Nathan A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
To improve the quality of life for people living with HIV (PLWH), it is vital their treatment plans closely follow the HIV care continuum. However, many barriers, such as mental health disorders (MHD), can complicate treatment. Patients being treated for HIV with comorbid MHD are more likely to not be retained in care and maintain an unsuppressed viral load. As PLWH and people vulnerable to acquiring HIV are more commonly diagnosed with MHD in comparison to the general population, it is important that steps to mitigate the possible effects of MHD are addressed during treatment. This study examines how minimal mental health care in a safety-net hospital system in the U.S. South can show benefits in retaining patients throughout their treatment of HIV. The results showed that older individuals retained a higher level of viral suppression when they followed up regularly with a mental health care provider during treatment. In addition, regardless of age, the higher the number of mental health care visits a patient attended during treatment, the higher the likelihood of viral suppression. By incorporating mental health care into the HIV treatment plan, the patients who met at least one of these criteria had better treatment outcomes and progressed further along the HIV care continuum.

Abstract
Background
Previous research has reported associations between various forms of repetitive negative thinking (RNT; e.g., rumination, worry, and the content-independent process of RNT) and the onset and maintenance of psychological disorders. Additionally, reductions in RNT are linked to improved treatment outcomes, primarily based on findings from randomized controlled trials. This study examined RNT in the context of outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in routine clinical care.

Methods
We investigated the predictive value of RNT in a sample of 506 patients from an outpatient clinic and postgraduate training center for CBT, all of whom received CBT for various mental health conditions. Of these, 256 (50.6%) presented with depressive disorder, and we repeated our analyses using only this subsample. We assessed content-independent RNT, brooding, and worrying at pre- and post-assessment. General psychopathology and depression were assessed at pre- and post-assessment as well as at 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Results
There were significant reductions in general psychopathology and depression between pre-assessment and all subsequent assessments. All forms of RNT showed significant reductions from pre- to post-assessment. These reductions predicted general psychopathology and depression at post-assessment. At follow-up, findings were mixed, with only some forms of RNT being significantly associated with treatment outcome.

Conclusions
Naturalistic CBT reduced general psychopathology and depression, as well as content-independent RNT, rumination, and worrying. Change in all forms of RNT predicted reductions in general psychopathology and depression at post-assessment. This study highlights the relevance of addressing different forms of RNT in therapeutic interventions.
Drivers of Cooperation in Innovation by Energy Firms in Spain
Authors: Costa-Campi M. T. , Duch-Brown N. , Garcia-Quevedo Jose 
Published: November 2024

AbstractInnovation by energy firms is critical for facing the energy transition and the challenge of climate change. Innovation is a complex process, and firms increasingly resort to cooperation with other companies and institutions in their innovation activities. In the energy sector, suppliers have always played a very important role in the technological advances of this industry. The objective of this paper is to analyse the determinants for engagement in cooperation in innovation by energy firms. In this analysis, we distinguish by the type of partnership, whether suppliers or research organisations (universities and research centres). We consider the factors proposed by the industrial organisation literature and the reasons given for firms to innovate, to explain decisions to cooperate. For the empirical analysis, we use a sample of energy firms from the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC) for the period 2004–2016. To carry out the estimations we use binary models for panel data. In order to correct for endogeneity of the relevant variables, some of which are binary, we have relied on the panel data version of the special regressor method. Our results show the important role of incoming spillovers and innovation objectives related to reducing the environmental impact and meeting environmental regulatory requirements to explain cooperation in innovation by energy firms.

Abstract
Background
A novel irrigated radiofrequency balloon (RFB) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) integrated into a 3D mapping platform was recently launched.

Methods
Patients undergoing a first atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation at two German high-volume EP centers were included into the prospective AURORA registry. All patients underwent clinical follow-up (FU) at 90, 180, and 360 days following ablation including 48-h Holter ECGs.

Results
A total of 99 patients were enrolled (43/99 (43.4%) women, median age 67 years (interquartile range [IQR] 59–74), 43/99 (43.4%) persistent AF (Pers-AF), median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 60% (IQR 62–55)). Eighty-eight patients completed the follow-up. Acute PVI was achieved in 383/383 (100%) PV. Single-shot PVI was achieved in 211/383 (55.1%) PVs. Primary adverse events occurred in 3% of patients (1 postprocedural pharyngeal bleeding, 1 myocardial infarction, 1 non-cardiovascular death); no pericardial effusion, stroke, or phrenic nerve paralysis was observed. Median ablation and procedure times were 23 (IQR 18–32) and 67 (IQR 57–85) min, respectively. Median dose area product was 761 (IQR 509–1534) mGycm2. AF-free survival after a median FU of 361 (IQR 261–375) days was 78.4% for paroxysmal AF (PAF) and 75.4% for Pers-AF (p value = 0.828). Early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia at the 90-day visit was the only independent predictor for AF recurrence at 1 year upon multiple regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 3.198; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.036–10.32, p value = 0.0433).

Conclusion
RFB-based PVI is acutely successful, appears safe, and has comparable rhythm outcomes to other single-shot AF ablation tools. A recurrence of AF at 90 days predicts later AF recurrence.

A Tree Representation of Pluri-Gaussian Truncation Rules

Published: November 2024

AbstractStochastic facies models based on truncated Gaussian random fields are known for being flexible and well suited to reproduce patterns and features from analogues or conceptual models. In pluri-Gaussian simulation, the number of random fields is theoretically unlimited, which adds flexibility and makes it possible to model a wider range of geological settings. However, the truncation map traditionally used to set up these models quickly becomes unclear when used for higher dimensions. Hence, in practical pluri-Gaussian applications, the number of fields is typically kept as low as two or three. We present a formulation of pluri-Gaussian simulation in which the truncation rule, the function that maps combinations of Gaussian random field values to facies categories, is represented as a particular binary tree. This is used to decouple the fields in the critical Gibbs sampling step of the conditioning process in such a way that we can use multiple lower-dimensional samples instead of a single higher-dimensional sample. The resulting conditioning algorithm scales excellently with the amount of conditioning data and the number of fields. The algorithm accepts a combination of trends and probabilities in the same model setup, which provides additional flexibility in representing varying depositional geometries. We demonstrate the hierarchical pluri-Gaussian simulation with two practical examples. One is based on real data from the Volve oil field in the North Sea. The other combines a large number of synthetic observations with a truncation tree tailored to a more complex geological concept. The choices made when building the truncation tree affect the features of the realizations, especially when it comes to which facies can be in contact and which can overprint each other. This aspect of tree building is discussed in light of the numerical examples given.
What is reasonable doubt? For philosophical studies special issue on Sosa’s ‘epistemic explanations’
Authors: Mace Lilith , Simion Mona 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper develops and defends novel accounts of accurate and reasonable doubt. We take a cue from Sosa's telic epistemic normative picture to argue that one’s degree of doubt that p is accurate just in case it matches the level of veritic risk involved in believing that p. In turn, on this account, reasonable doubt is doubt that is generated by a properly functioning cognitive capacity with the function of encoding veritic risk.
Impact of Transformational Leadership Style on Customer Satisfaction During the COVID-19 Pandemic with Organizational Citizenship Behaviour as a Mediator in India’s Pharmaceutical Industry
Authors: Yanamala Pradeep , Deshpande Amruta 
Published: November 2024

AbstractLeaders adopting TL (transformational leadership style) are capable in motivating their followers to exhibit the best possible outcomes during tough situations like COVID-19. Doctors and healthcare providers who work tirelessly to create a great balance in the helm of life and death are key players in pharmaceutical industries. Their level of satisfaction not only helps in the enhancement of the productivity of the industry but also gains customers. In order to resolve the tough situation and come up with appropriate solution, an effective TL will be the actual saviour for the pharmaceutical industry. Also, due to the invasion of COVID-19, several companies, leaders and employees were imposed to change. Leading professionals effectively built the bridge between the organizations and the customers. Thus, tracing how TL impacts OCB (organizational citizenship behaviour) and CS (customer satisfaction) is the ultimate focus of the study. In order to carry out this, the present study framed a structured questionnaire; responses were fetched from 400 respondents from the pharmaceutical business. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software and SEM to determine the relationship and the significance of the model. The overall results of the research revealed that there is a positive impact among the constructs. That is, TL has impact on CS which is mediated by OCB. Limitations and further recommendations are also addressed.
Effects of hybrid work on psychological detachment
Authors: Rieder Kerstin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
After the coronavirus pandemic, hybrid work has become firmly established in many companies. This study investigated the relation of hybrid work and relevant working conditions with the psychological detachment of employees. A written online survey was conducted among 250 employees of a company in the mechanical engineering industry in Germany who worked from home at least part of the time. Multiple hierarchical regression was used for the analysis. The results show that, as expected, the quality of manager-employee communication has a positive (β = 0.13, p < 0.05) and extended work availability a negative effect (β = −0.35, p < 0.001) on psychological detachment. Contrary to the assumptions, however, the proportion of work from home has a positive effect on detachment (β = 0.15, p < 0.05). Regarding the demographic variables, female employees are better able to detach from work (β = −0.36, p < 0.01). The quantitative demands initially show a significant effect, but this disappears as soon as the extended work availability and the proportion of work from home are included in the analysis. The included predictors explain 19% (p < 0.001) of the total variance.

Practical Relevance Hybrid work offers the opportunity to organize work more flexibly and thus to adapt it more closely to the needs of employees. The results of this study show that work from home can foster psychological detachment from work, provided that health-promoting working conditions are in place.
Low-dimensional organic semiconductor crystals for advanced photonics
Authors: Qiu Linqing , Lv Qiang , Wang Xuedong 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn the domain of information processing, communication technology, and computation, the utilization of photons as vectors for information is a critical innovation. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are specifically designed to control and transmit light, thereby facilitating the conveyance of data. The recent surge in interest in low-dimensional organic semiconductor crystals is attributed to their unique size-tunable properties and customizable physicochemical characteristics. These features position them as prime candidates for constructing the next generation of high-performance optoelectronic devices. The discourse presented elaborates on the progress in four pivotal areas concerning low-dimensional organic semiconductor crystals: optical generation, optical transportation, optical signal conversion and optical detection. These facets are integral to PICs because they underpin the fundamental mechanisms through which information is transmitted and manipulated via photons. Despite the promising attributes associated with these low-dimensional organic semiconductors, there remain considerable challenges to integrating these materials into the photonic constituents of PICs in a manner that is both effective and scalable. The text culminates with a concise summary and a forward-looking perspective on the potential applications and future development of low-dimensional organic semiconductor crystals within the sphere of advanced photonics. This outlook considers ongoing research and the anticipated breakthroughs that could further enhance the role of these materials in the evolution of photonic technologies.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
We review shoreline monitoring methodologies used by members of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Archaeology, Geology, and Wildlife Biology teams from February 2021 to December 2022 on Pockoy Island in Charleston County, South Carolina, USA. Our project objectives were to better understand the driving forces behind the landward movement of the shoreline (transgression), to apply new understanding to the rate of shoreline erosion of the island that directly impacts the Pockoy Island Shell Ring Complex (38CH2533), and to establish best practice for future community science monitoring efforts. Each member of our team used a different shoreline monitoring methodology (a nested methodology approach). Multiple unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV)-derived orthoimagery datasets, on-the-ground transect measurements, and Arrow Gold real-time kinematic (RTK) unit measurements have been collected monthly following significant storms or king (perigean) tide events. Moving forward, the erosion transect approach tested within this project will serve as the foundation for community science monitoring at heritage at-risk sites in South Carolina. In this article, we introduce initial efforts in establishing a community science monitoring program in South Carolina that will influence future research, land management, and policy, and we propose how our research might be adapted for other sites at risk.
Landscape Histories and the Search for Early Settlements along Louisiana's Bayous
Authors: Filoromo Steven J. , Dale Emily K. , Jackson Paul D. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Historical changes from shifting land use, the natural meandering of waterways, and the aftereffects of erosion complicate modern environments and obfuscate precontact landscapes. Although archaeologists can create stratified sampling models or employ systematic surveys, traditional field methodologies are often not suitable for site discovery, thereby limiting knowledge of ancient cultural landscapes. Many water systems in southern Louisiana, and in many parts of the world, have been covered or concealed in backswamps by natural geomorphological processes, development, or environmental degradation. Investigation standards that do not account for these changes will not be effective at identifying archaeological sites in such transformed landscapes. Discoveries made during ongoing archaeological research in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, provide examples of what can be missed and offer solutions through changes in archaeological field methods. This article advocates for a mixed-methodology approach, drawing from historical research and shallow geophysics to look at landforms and landscape changes. Strictly following state survey guidelines can muddle the archaeological record, particularly in places subject to significant landscape change from historical land-use alteration. By applying these approaches, we offer a way to reconstruct ancient landscapes and landforms that are culturally significant but often missed given the nature of modern environmental conditions.
“The Purloined Letter”: Migrant Disappearances, Systematic Impunity, and States’ Risk Awareness
Authors: Fischer Anna Rahel , Duhaime Bernard 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The disappearance of migrants, which has reached preoccupying high numbers in recent decades, is related both to the particular vulnerability of migrants traversing dangerous migratory routes and to the high degree of impunity that characterizes investigation and search efforts required. This article argues that the disappearance of migrants at the hands of non-state actors in contexts of systematic impunity and in situations where the state had knowledge or should have had knowledge of a serious risk of such disappearance, but failed to act to prevent it, can be considered to have occurred with the acquiescence of the state. Thus, given that all further elements of the definition of enforced disappearance have been satisfied, this factual situation qualifies as an “enforced disappearance” for the purposes of international human rights law. Key to this demonstration is the concept of knowledge, which is an essential component of acquiescence. This article not only addresses the normative framework of acquiescence and its interpretation by international and regional human rights bodies, including how it relies on the element of state knowledge, but it also examines the extent to which this factor is critical to understanding states’ due diligence obligations to prevent, investigate, and sanction human rights obligations, including disappearances. In order to better understand the factors that should be taken into consideration while assessing a state‘s knowledge of migrant disappearances, including in the context of systematic impunity, it is then suggested to borrow from the international criminal law test related to the concept of “constructive knowledge” and to the doctrine of command responsibility. These considerations should inform a test for assessing whether disappearances of migrants occurring in contexts of systematic impunity can be considered as having been known by the state and as having occurred with its acquiescence and, thus, as constituting “enforced disappearances” under international human rights law.
Investigating the influence and interplay of physical and virtual traits on the user perception of Mixed Reality prototypes
Authors: Cox Christopher , Gopsill James , Snider Chris , Hicks Ben 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Mixed Reality enables individuals to visualise and interact with artefacts and environments through a combination of physical and virtual assets. It has received increased interest from the design community as a means to accelerate, enrich and enhance prototyping activities. This article concerns MR’s ability to deceive an individual through the combination of virtual and physical assets and their underlying traits (e.g., mass, size), and a user’s cognitive ability to ‘join the dots’. If properly implemented, MR could save time and resources by reducing the required prototype fidelity and the need to fully realise variants. However, there is a gap in understanding how the traits of physical and virtual assets and cognition combine to form reality. This article presents a study investigated the role mass, virtual and physical model size played on users perception of an MR prototype. The relative impact of these factors was determined by varying these parameters and assessing the user’s perceived change. The key finding from this study was that the virtual model size had a far greater influence on prototype perceived by the user. This suggests that the required physical fidelity of an MR prototype can be lower than the virtual. Furthermore, exploring size design variants can be achieved exclusively through changes to the virtual model.
Factors associated with construction apprenticeship completion in the United States

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The construction industry is experiencing high demand for workers. Apprenticeship programmes are essential pipelines of skilled workers into the construction industry; however, apprenticeship completion rates are only around 25%. To promote apprenticeship retention and increase the number of apprentices, it is necessary to identify factors that relate to cancellation from apprenticeship programmes (i.e., leaving prior to programme completion). Using data from the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System, we descriptively characterised completion and cancellation, then conducted a time-to-event analysis of n = 335,212 construction apprentices from 2012 to 2023 to examine factors related to cancellation. Among all apprentices, 40.1% cancelled from their apprenticeship programmes, while 24.8% completed and 35.0% were actively registered at the end of the study period. Results from the time-to-event analysis show females had significantly higher odds of cancellation than males (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.15). Compared to White apprentices, American Indian/Alaska Native (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.18), Black/African American (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.39, 1.44), and multiracial apprentices (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.17) had significantly higher odds of cancellation, while Asian apprentices had significantly lower odds of cancellation (OR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.83). Non-unionised workers were significantly more likely to cancel their apprenticeship programmes (OR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.74, 1.80). These results indicate that individual demographic and organisational factors can influence apprenticeship cancellation. Reducing barriers to apprenticeship completion can help address the current skilled worker shortage, and identifying factors that impact entry into the industry for minoritised groups can promote equity within the industry.
