To Perform or Not to Perform: Exploring the Impact of COVID‐19 on Aotearoa New Zealand's Performing Arts Sector
Authors: Nairn Angelique , Annabell Taylor , Matthews Justin , Bhargava Deepti 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThis article explores narratives of how COVID‐19 impacted the performing arts sector, by drawing on interviews with creative workers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Despite the late exposure to COVID‐19 and the adoption of an elimination approach that afforded opportunities for performing arts to continue to varying extents between 2019 and 2022, cultural workers in Aotearoa New Zealand, as with their overseas counterparts, experienced significant and consequential disruption to their working conditions and lives. Taking into account the specificity of Aotearoa New Zealand's performing arts sector and the government's COVID‐19 response, the article contributes to the empirical examination of COVID‐19 experiences by teasing out narratives of impact from cultural workers. The thematic analysis demonstrates how participants presented (1) COVID‐19 as responsible for financial, emotional, and psychological costs, (2) framed opportunities arising from disrupted working conditions and wage subsidy as “silver linings,” (3) were reliant on digital technologies, and (4) constructed the return to “normal” as marked by the COVID‐19 “aftermath.” The article argues that uniting these perceptions and articulations of impact is the ongoing (re)evaluations of risks and benefits by cultural workers of working conditions that predate COVID‐19.

AbstractBACKGROUNDSorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a cereal crop known for its biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity, a plant‐mediated activity limiting nitrification pathway. The use of BNI‐producing plants represents an environmentally friendly and cost‐effective approach to reduce nitrogen (N) losses, such as nitrate (NO3−) leaching and nitrous oxide (N2O) gas emissions. The present study aimed to test the effectiveness of different S. bicolor cultivars in rotation to retain ammonium (NH4+) in soils and promote N availability for the subsequent wheat crop. A two‐year field rotation was established with four sorghum cultivars followed by winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Urea alone or combined with the urease inhibitor N‐(n‐butyl) thiophosphoric triamide was applied to promote a NH4+‐based fertilization regimes.RESULTSAddingN‐(n‐butyl) thiophosphoric triamide maintained higher soil NH4+ content and reduced ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria population during sorghum cultivation. However, the benefits of the inhibitor on sorghum growth were cultivar‐dependent. Notably, the further reduction in ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria abundance for sorghum Voyenn and the increased soil NH4+ content for Vilomene suggested a BNI potential for these cultivars. Importantly, the Vilomene precedent enhanced wheat yield for both fertilization regimes.CONCLUSIONOverall, the present study confirms that sorghum is a suitable catch crop and emphasizes the importance of selecting the proper sorghum cultivar to maximize the yield of the target wheat crop, at the same time as minimizing N losses. Furthermore, developing combined strategies with selected sorghum cultivars and the application of urease inhibitors enables to enhance sorghum productivity as forage, achieving added value to the rotation. © 2024 The Author(s).

Published: October 2024

AbstractBACKGROUNDTomatoes are a significant product of the Mediterranean region and a crucial component of the Mediterranean diet. The formulation of dried tomato products enriched with proteins and bioactive compounds could be a strategic approach to promote adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Six different novel tomato products were analyzed using different protein enrichment sources (pea proteins and leaf proteins) and drying technologies (hot‐air dryer, microwave vacuum dryer, and conventional dryer). The novelty of this approach lies in combining product‐specific criteria with global societal factors across their life cycles. Using 21 criteria and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey of experts, the social sustainability score for each product was determined through a multi‐criteria assessment.RESULTSThe tomato product's life cycles have minimal regional impacts on unemployment, access to drinking water, sanitation, or excessive working hours. However, they affect discrimination, migrant labor, children's education, and access to hospital beds significantly. The study identified nutritional quality as the top criterion, with the most sustainable design being a tomato bar enriched with pea protein and processed using microwave vacuum drying.CONCLUSIONThe study revealed that integrating sensory and nutrient compounds into social sustainability assessments improves food sustainability and provides a practical roadmap for social life cycle assessments of food products. It emphasized the importance of considering global social issues when reformulating Mediterranean products to ensure long‐term adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Incorporating social factors into sustainability scores can also enhance the effectiveness of product information for conscious customers. © 2024 The Author(s).

AbstractBACKGROUNDTexturized vegetable protein is currently a leading alternative to animal meat. This study examined the effects of soybean insoluble dietary fiber (SIDF) (0% to 20%) and CaCl2 (0% to 1%) on the structure and properties of extruded products made from a soybean protein isolate‐wheat gluten (SPI‐WG) composite.RESULTSThe study showed that SIDF (4% to 8%) increased the viscosity of extruded products, enhanced their specific mechanical energy, and improved their rehydration rate and tensile strength compared with a control group. The rehydration rate of the extruded products reached a maximum value of 331.67% in the 8% SIDF, 0.5% CaCl2 groups. The addition of excess SIDF prevented the cross‐linking of protein molecules to form a loose network structure. Analysis of the infrared spectrum and intermolecular forces showed that physical interactions between fibers and proteins were the dominant forces, with hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds primarily maintaining the structure of the extruded products. The addition of CaCl2 (0.5%) led to protein aggregation and further improved the rehydration and tensile strength of extruded products.CONCLUSIONSoybean insoluble dietary fiber can improve the rehydration rate and quality of extruded products. The addition of CaCl2 mitigated the weakening of the protein structure caused by excess SIDF. These results provide a basis for the improvement of the quality of low‐moisture‐extruded texturized vegetable protein products with a high dietary fiber concentration and a high rehydration rate. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Published: October 2024

AbstractPurposeKnee joint dislocations, though rare, present significant challenges due to potential complications like vascular and nerve damage, and are known to be often linked to sports injuries, accidents and obesity. This study aims to analyse the epidemiology, incidence and treatment approaches for knee dislocations in Germany from 2019 to 2022.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study utilized data from the German Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System to examine knee dislocation cases across German medical institutions. Patient data coded under International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10 for ‘knee dislocation’ enabled detailed analysis by age, sex and surgical procedures categorized by operation and procedure codes. The Patient Clinical Complexity Level (PCCL) assessed complication severity.ResultsAnalysis of 1643 knee dislocation cases revealed an incidence rate of 0.44–0.54 per 100,000 inhabitants annually. During the years 2020 and 2021, there were fewer cases of knee dislocations. Male patients comprised 50%–56% of cases, with an average hospital stay of 11 days. Most cases were PCCL 0 (62%–72%) and predominantly affected patients aged 18–29 years. Anterior tibial dislocations were common among classified cases. Injuries included ligament ruptures, meniscus lesions and grade I soft‐tissue injuries. Patients with pre‐existing knee prostheses constituted 0%–16% annually. Treatment involved closed reduction, external fixation and surgeries like capsuloligamentous reconstructions and arthroscopic procedures. Revision knee arthroplasty was required in 2%–9% of cases, with obesity rates up to 7%.ConclusionsThis study provides valuable insights into the epidemiology, incidence and treatment of knee dislocations in Germany, with a focus on demographic risk factors, treatment complexities and the impact of obesity and knee prostheses. The findings emphasize the importance of specialized care in larger hospitals, comprehensive management of concomitant injuries and the need for improved coding accuracy. Future research should aim to refine treatment protocols.Level of EvidenceLevel III.

AbstractSelf‐powered photodetection devices, which meet the requirement of environmental sustainability, are widely designed by PN heterojunctions. The design of the semiconductor/metal interface is vital in PN‐junction devices. In particular, the elevated potential barrier at the metal/semiconductor interface impedes efficient carrier transport. Therefore, optimizing the semiconductor/metal interface for the PN junction, either by reducing the interface barrier or leveraging the built‐in electric field within the Schottky junction, holds significant importance in enhancing the performance of PN‐junction devices. In this study, an InSe/MoTe2 Type‐II PN heterojunction photodetector is constructed, with graphene (Gr) and gold (Au) serving as electrodes in contact with InSe and MoTe2, respectively. Benefiting from the reduced barrier in Au/InSe interfaces and the built‐in electric field formed at the InSe/MoTe2 and MoTe2/Au interfaces in the same direction, the device achieves an ultra‐fast photoresponse speed of 14 µs and an ultra‐low dark current of 8.5 × 10⁻¹⁴ A at zero bias. Furthermore, the device exhibits a remarkable light on/off ratio up to 105 and achieves broad‐spectrum photodetection ranging from the visible to infrared wavelength. This research highlights the enormous potential of the Gr/InSe/MoTe2 van der Waals heterostructure in the realms of self‐powered photodetection, imaging, and optical communication.

AbstractFlexible transparent electrodes, encompassing the combination of optical transparency and electrical conductivity, empower numerous optoelectronic applications. While the main efforts nowadays concentrate on developing wire meshes and conductive oxides, those technologies are still in a quest to find a balance between price, performance, and versatility. Here we propose a new platform, encompassing the advantages of nanophotonic design and roll‐to‐roll large‐scale lithography fabrication tools, granting an ultimate balance between optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. The design is based on an array of silica microspheres deposited on a patterned thin aluminum film attached to a flexible polymer matrix. Microspheres are designed to squeeze 80% light through nanoscale apertures with the aid of the photonic nanojet effect given the light impinges the structure from the top. The photonic structure blocks the transmission for the backpropagation direction thus granting the device with the high 5‐fold level of asymmetry. The patterned layer demonstrates a remarkable 2.8 Ω sq−1 sheet resistance comparable to that of a continuous metal layer. The high conductivity is shown to be maintained after a repeatable application of strain on the flexible electrode. Such remarkable optical, mechanical and electrical properties, makes the demonstrated device an essential component for applications, where such attributes are critically required.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIncorporating specific motifs to provide tangible evidence of authenticity is a direct and effective measure against counterfeiting. However, achieving multi‐level anticounterfeiting through multiple motifs requires utilizing numerous stimulus sources to configure region‐specific emissions with customizable colors, which is complex, costly, and inaccessible. To address this challenge, a hybrid luminescent display is developed by integrating an internal down‐conversion layer with an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED). The internal down‐conversion layer can effectively extract the substrate and waveguide modes, resulting in a very rare outcome where the efficiency of a hybrid down‐conversion white OLED exceeds that of the pump light source. More importantly, by combining voltage‐modulated color‐tunable electroluminescence (EL) with EL‐induced down‐conversion luminescence, this unique design can precisely create dynamic and configurable multi‐color display patterns using only electrical stimulation. For anticounterfeiting purposes, the further amalgamation of the dynamic hybrid luminescent display device with the Internet of Things for digital authentication, and with fingerprint features for physical unclonable functions showcases unprecedented security. These results herald a new generation of multilevel luminescent anticounterfeiting technology.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundAccurate classification is essential for addressing childhood movement disorders (MD), but the common coexistence of multiple MDs complicates this process.ObjectiveThe aim was to assess inter‐rater agreement on classifying hyperkinetic MDs among pediatric neurologists with expertise in MDs.MethodsFive pediatric neurologists were requested to examine 112 videos of 66 pediatric patients. Based on the Movement Disorder‐Childhood Rating Scale, 3 queries were posed: (Q1) Is there more than 1 MD? (Q2) What is the (predominant) MD? (Q3) What is the other MD (if present)?ResultsThe final agreement rates were 57.5% for Q1, 66.6% for Q2, and 43.9% for absolute agreement. All videos with absolute agreement at the first evaluation featured 1 MD, whereas only 2 videos with multiple MDs could totally agree in the final review.ConclusionsThis study reveals significant discordance in classification even among pediatric neurologists with expertise in MDs and highlights the necessity for a standardized approach.
Assessing the utility of computer vision for age determination of Gulf Menhaden
Authors: Riedel Ralf , Leaf Robert Thomas 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective
In this work, we assess the potential of computer vision techniques for age estimation of Gulf Menhaden Brevoortia patronus scales. Scales are the primary structure used for the age determination of Gulf Menhaden, and the ageing process can be labor intensive. Gulf Menhaden is the second-largest fishery by weight in the United States, with average annual landings from 2018 to 2022 of 449,540 metric tons, and is assessed with age-structured models that require information about the age structure of the catch and the stock.

Methods
We used convolutional neural networks and deep neural networks to classify the age from images of Gulf Menhaden scales from three different sets of images of scales. The first set of data consists of images of scales from fish at ages 0 and 1 year. The second set of data consists of images of scales from fish at ages 0–4 years. The last set of data consists of images of scales from fish of ages 0, 1, and 2 years and includes only images of scales for which there is agreement by readers of age estimates derived from analyzing sagittal otoliths and scales from the same individual.

Result
The classification of ages was best when using a convolutional neural network model on the first data set. The poorest classification was for the model using deep neural networks with the second data set.

Conclusion
Although we show that computer vision has promise for age determination from fish scale samples, our results indicate that considerable work must be done for wide adoption of the approach. With the continuous enhancements of computer vision models, improvements in the quality of scale images, and the accumulation of larger sets of scale images that can be used to train machine learning models, we believe that using computer vision can serve to reduce processing time and increase the accuracy of age estimates.

Published: October 2024

AbstractObjectiveCutaneous head and neck surgery can safely and effectively be performed using local anesthetic (LA). However, optimizing pain management during LA administration is paramount for patient comfort and procedural efficacy. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the comparative effectiveness of EMLA cream and ethyl chloride (EC) spray in mitigating pain associated with LA administration in cutaneous head and neck surgery.Study DesignRandomized controlled trial.SettingUniversity‐affiliated tertiary head and neck oncology center.MethodsSample size calculation was performed followed by computer randomization into the following groups: EMLA, EMLA placebo (aqueous cream), EC, and a control group (no topical agent). Demographics, pain, and procedural experience scores were recorded perioperatively. Statistical analysis was performed to analyse differences between groups utilizing the Mann‐Whitney U test, Kruskall‐Wallis test, Chi‐square test, and Spearman's Rho.Results121 cutaneous lesions with a median patient age of 76 were analyzed. There were no statistically significant differences in pain scores (median [IQR]) between patients receiving EMLA (4 [3.75]), EMLA placebo (4.8 [3.6]), EC (5.8 [2.8]), and no treatment (5 [4.1], P = .19). Procedural experience scores were clinically similar (P = .02). Risk factors associated with elevated nociceptive sensitivity were surgical site (scalp, P = .01), malignant lesions (P < .01) and lesion surface area (rs = 0.22, P = .01).ConclusionEMLA and EC did not mitigate LA‐associated pain in patients undergoing cutaneous head and neck surgery and as such practitioners should reconsider their use of these in this regard. Patients' operative experience remains excellent regardless of topical anesthetic use.Level of EvidenceIb.

AbstractA greener, safer, and more efficient methodology for the synthesis of (Z)‐5‐benzylidene‐2‐thioxothiazolidin‐4‐ones (3 a–u) and (Z)‐5‐benzylidenethiazolidine‐2,4‐diones (4 a–i) has been developed. The deep eutectic solvent (DES) ZnCl2/urea used as a greener solvent as well as a catalyst in this study accelerated the condensation of rhodanine and thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione with different aldehydes to afford the target scaffolds in excellent yields (88‐98 %). The reaction methodology adopted offered significant advantages such as mild reaction conditions, functional group tolerance, quick reaction time, column‐free isolation, catalytic recyclability, and applicability to gram‐scale production. Moreover, density function theory calculations were carried out to investigate the global reactivity and stability profiles of these compounds. Finally, the green metrics analysis supported the greener nature of the present methodology.
