Purpose
This study aims to dye Silk and polyamide fabrics using synthetic dyes to give the fabrics fastness qualities, including washing, perspiration, light, rubbing and sublimation fastness, also to be effective against bacteria.

Design/methodology/approach
We used the coupling of diazonium salts of aniline derivatives with 2,6-dihydroxyisonicotintic acid to prepare substituted azo citrazinic acid. By using synthetic thickeners as a thickening agent, the screen printing process of these dyes is found to have printing characteristics.

Findings
The authors developed and produced a range of bioactive disperse dyes to be conjugated with citrazinic acid moieties and aromatic scaffold derivatives in the same construct via an azo linker to take advantage on the bioactive property of both motifs. The practicality, fastness and spectroscopic properties of the dyes were investigated. The dyes’ activity was evaluated initially in an antibacterial test using two Gram-positive bacteria and two Gram-negative bacteria.

Originality/value
Silk and polyamide fabrics can be printed using disperse colors that have been shown to be effective against bacteria. Analysis was also done on the dyes’ color properties and fastness qualities, including washing, perspiration, light, rubbing and sublimation fastness.

Published: November 2024

Purpose
The complex geometries of human tissues are characterized by the employment of phantoms in various fields of medicine ranging from active treatment stages to educational purposes. Despite the exceptional abilities of the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology to produce rapid and patient-specific complex anatomical models, the issue of human tissue-filament material incompatibilities persists owing to the lack of attenuation coefficients in the same range as biological tissues. The purpose of this study is to develop a novel biodegradable filament that can mimic human hard tissues by addressing the challenge mentioned above.

Design/methodology/approach
The current study addresses the issue through proposing a novel biodegradable radiopaque filament containing poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) with increasing amounts (3 wt%, 5 wt% and 10 wt%) for hard tissues. Other than the thermal/flow characterization and internal structural analyses, as for evaluating the effectiveness of the produced filament under computed tomography (CT) imaging, two detailed anthropomorphic phantoms (L3 vertebra and femur bone) are produced and tested.

Findings
Results show that Sb2O3 disperse homogeneously and serve as a nucleating agent for PLA crystallization. Gyroid pattern gets very close isotropic structure with the highest hounsfield unit (HU) values. 5 wt% Sb2O3 is required to get the HU values of cortical bone. The produced model hard tissues are in very compatible with patient images in all details including cortical thickness.

Practical implications
The results of this study will contribute to the development of radiopaque products in medical applications using three-dimensional printing.

Originality/value
The current research shows that inexpensive, patient-specific, detailed medical models can be produced with a novel biodegradable radiopaque filament containing PLA/Sb2O3. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study has examined the use of Sb2O3 in radiopacity applications in any polymeric material.
Surviving busy season: Using the job demands‐resources model to investigate coping mechanisms

Published: November 2024

AbstractFatigue and burnout are root causes of audit quality issues and turnover. Leveraging the job demands‐resources theory, we investigate whether two mechanisms can reduce accountants' fatigue and, in turn, improve audit quality. We conduct a field study of public accountants during both normal and busy season work periods, collecting bi‐daily logs to examine whether the use of microbreaks (i.e., brief respite activities) as a job crafting mechanism and/or the receipt of supervisory support as a job resource lessen end‐of‐day fatigue. We posit and find that engaging in microbreaks is associated with reduced end‐of‐day fatigue within busy season. Similarly, we posit and find that higher levels of daily supervisory support during busy season are associated with lower end‐of‐day fatigue. However, neither of these mechanisms is associated with lower end‐of‐day fatigue during normal work periods. Our results also indicate that these two mechanisms function as complements during busy season, with either one significantly reducing end‐of‐day fatigue, but both together having an interactive effect. Further, end‐of‐day fatigue during busy season reduces sleep quality, which increases accountants' fatigue the following morning. In a follow‐up experiment, we consistently find evidence that a 1‐min microbreak reduces fatigue and that this reduction directly translates into improved error detection.

AbstractAge‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of vision loss in older adults. AMD is caused by degeneration in the macula of the retina. The retina is the highest oxygen consuming tissue in our body and is prone to oxidative damage. DNA damage is one hallmark of aging implicated in loss of organ function. Genome instability has been associated with several disorders that result in premature vision loss. We hypothesized that endogenous DNA damage plays a causal role in age‐related retinal changes. To address this, we used a genetic model of systemic depletion of expression of the DNA repair enzyme ERCC1‐XPF. The neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from Ercc1−/Δ mice, which models a human progeroid syndrome, were compared to age‐matched wild‐type (WT) and old WT mice. By 3‐months‐of age, Ercc1−/Δ mice presented abnormal optokinetic and electroretinogram responses consistent with photoreceptor dysfunction and visual impairment. Ercc1−/Δ mice shared many ocular characteristics with old WT mice including morphological changes, elevated DNA damage markers (γ‐H2AX and 53BP1), and increased cellular senescence in the neural retinal and RPE, as well as pathological angiogenesis. The RPE is essential for the metabolic health of photoreceptors. The RPE from Ercc1−/Δ mice displayed mitochondrial dysfunction causing a compensatory glycolytic shift, a characteristic feature of aging RPE. Hence, our study suggests spontaneous endogenous DNA damage promotes the hallmarks of age‐related retinal degeneration.

AbstractAimIndocyanine green (ICG) clearance, a sensitive biomarker for liver function, has not been validated in children. We assessed the association between ICG clearance and liver function in children with liver disease.MethodsICG plasma disappearance rate (ICG‐PDR, %/min) was measured in children with liver disease. Mixed linear regression was used to assess the relationship between ICG‐PDR and liver function tests (international normalised ratio, INR; prothrombin‐proconvertin clotting time, PP).ResultsWe included 124 patients with 183 visits. Of the visits, 60.1% were female, 85% had chronic liver disease and 42.5% were liver transplanted. The most common diseases in those without transplantation were autoimmune disease (18.6%) and biliary atresia (10.9%). Median ICG‐PDR was 23.9%/min (interquartile range 15; 30.3). Mixed linear regression showed ICG‐PDR was associated with INR (β = −0.006, 95% CI [−0.010, −0.003]) and PP (β = 0.005, 95% CI [0.003, 0.008]). However, only five visits were with patients who had acute liver failure (INR ≥2.0).ConclusionICG clearance is associated with standard measures of liver function in children. ICG may aid decision‐making in paediatric liver disease together with other biochemical measures, imaging and clinical presentation. However, further studies are needed to assess the usefulness of ICG in paediatric patients with INR >1.4.

Published: November 2024

AbstractA less water dyeing system using non‐aqueous medium as dyeing medium shows promising application potential due to its environmentally friendly and efficient dyeing processes, achieving high dyeing and fixation percentage of 100% and 90%, respectively. While previous studies have focused on the dyeing procedures and mechanisms of cotton dyeing in non‐aqueous medium, there has been limited research on colour matching between reactive dyes. This study investigates the matching performance of the representative dyes C.I. Reactive Red 195 and C.I. Reactive Blue 19 in a novel non‐aqueous dyeing system, and compares their effectiveness to that of traditional aqueous dyeing systems. The building up power of reactive dyes in different dyeing bath was studied, as well as the influence of compounding ratio and fixing temperature on dyeing performance. The results reveal that reactive dyes exhibit better building up properties in non‐aqueous medium compared to traditional water bath. The colour change and matching of the reactive dyes was different between non‐aqueous medium and water bath, showing noticeable variations in fixation percentage. Notably, when the ratio between Reactive Red 195 and Reactive Blue 19 was 1:1, the absorption wavelength of the blend dye in the non‐aqueous medium remained stable with increasing fixation temperature, while a redshift occurred in the water bath. Overall, the colour matching performance of reactive dyes in the less water dyeing system using a non‐aqueous medium is impressive, suggesting significant potential for further development in sustainable dyeing technology.
Modern distress and lifestyle migration: The false promise of a pure relationship with one's self
Authors: Kliger Rotem , Kidron Carol A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study presents a qualitative ethnographic exploration of professionally successful lifestyle migrants' self‐perceptions of premigration etiologies of “modern distress,” and postmigration pathways of healing and outcomes in Guatemala. Reflexive accounts of perceived etiologies of distress include self‐commodification, atomization, and disengagement from “true‐selves” as stressors motivating relocation. Migrants depict postmigration healing practices as embedding popularized therapeutic narratives that amplify introspective self‐dialog reproducing hypercapitalist and emotional capitalist “liquid‐modern” unstable and disengaged selfhood. Constituting what we term a “pure relationship with the self,” lifestyle migrants describe a “modern trap” of “addictive” chronic healing, self‐seeking, and unfulfillment while resultant self‐deliberations continue to exhibit no less liquid and potentially adaptive life paths. Implications will be considered pertaining to self‐dialogic therapeutic processes that reproduce distressed liquid selfhood and the potential of sites of self‐relocation to amplify socially disengaged introspection. Yet reflexive self‐dialog problematizes reductionist readings of structural subjectification, calling for further examination of the way distressed selfhood is a product of shifting social structures and zeitgeists but no less a self‐crafted outcome of self‐deliberation that critically evaluates emergent selves and alternative contexts of self‐constitution.
Latent profile analysis of family and school supports among Chinese adolescents in stepfamilies

Published: November 2024

AbstractDivorce and remarriage rates have increased dramatically in China, and more children live in stepfamilies. There remain valuable opportunities to understand the various family and school assets that support the well‐being of Chinese youth amid family structural transitions, such as the transition to stepfamily life. Using latent profile analysis, the current study seeks to identify patterns of youth support using seven family‐related variables and two school‐related variables as indicators among a sample of Chinese youth (N = 269;  = 14 years; 129 females and 117 males) residing with a parent and stepparent. Four profiles were identified: low support, academic focus/low support, moderate support, and high support. Results further demonstrated that youth in the moderate support profile had significantly better well‐being outcomes compared to youth in the low support or academic focus/low support profiles; demographic characteristics such as low SES families and parents with lower education backgrounds were associated with the low support profile; and stepfamilies with stepfathers were overrepresented in the moderate support profile, whereas stepfamilies with stepmothers were overrepresented in the low support and academic focus/low support profiles. These findings can inform the development of interventions intended to bolster the well‐being of Chinese adolescents in stepfamilies.

AbstractAimsTo assess the relationships in nursing teamwork, psychological detachment from work during nonwork time, and burnout, and the mediating effect of psychological detachment on the relationship between nursing teamwork and burnout.BackgroundNurse burnout has serious implications for nurses’ health and performance and the overall functioning of their organizations. Evidence on the relationships between nursing teamwork, psychological detachment, and nurse burnout is limited. This study adds to the international body of knowledge by examining the interplay between nursing teamwork, psychological detachment, and burnout in nurses, a topic of global relevance.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study used survey data collected in May 2021 from 1115 Korean hospital nurses. The measurements included the Nursing Teamwork Survey, a subscale of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. We performed mediation analysis using PROCESS Macro based on 5000 bootstrapped samples to estimate the indirect effect of nursing teamwork.ResultsNurses in units with stronger teamwork were more likely to report being psychologically detached from work during nonwork time. Nurses who distanced themselves from work‐related thoughts during nonwork time reported lower personal, work‐related, and patient‐related burnout. Nursing teamwork had significant indirect effects on each burnout outcome through psychological detachment.ConclusionBy providing empirical evidence on the associations between nursing teamwork, psychological detachment, and burnout, this study enriches the international discourse on nurse burnout and the benefits of psychological detachment. Enhanced nursing teamwork can facilitate nurses’ mental distance from work during nonwork time, thereby reducing burnout.Implications for nursing and nursing policyOrganizational efforts to manage nurse burnout can include increasing nursing teamwork among nurses and improving nurses’ psychological detachment during nonwork hours. Interventions should include improving nursing teamwork and developing a supportive and collaborative unit culture.

ABSTRACTAimsTo investigate the prevalence of rapid response team delays, survival distribution of admission to rapid response team delay and its prognostic factors.DesignA retrospective single‐centre study.MethodsData on rapid response team activations from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022 were retrieved from electronic medical records at a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, China. All patients who met the eligibility criteria were included. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was conducted to analyse the data.ResultsOut of 636 patients included, 18.4% (117) experienced a delay, with a median (interquartile range) of 8.5 (12) days from admission to rapid response team activation. Six significant prognostic factors were found to be associated with the higher hazard ratio of rapid response team delay, including call time (05:01 PM and 7:59 AM), emergency admission, a higher Modified Early Warning Score, an admission diagnosis of infection, a comorbidity of respiratory failure/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and the absence of lung infection.ConclusionThe prevalence of rapid response team delays was lower, and the days from admission to rapid response team delay was longer than in previous studies. Healthcare providers are suggested to prioritise the care of high‐risk patient groups and provide proactive monitoring to ensure timely identification and management.Implications for Patient CareImplementing artificial intelligence in continuous monitoring systems for high‐risk patients is recommended. The findings help nurses anticipate potential delays in rapid response team activation, enabling better preparedness.ImpactThe study highlights the prevalence of rapid response team delays, timing from admission to rapid response team activation and six prognostic factors influencing delays. It could shape patient care and inform future research. Hospital administrators should review staffing, especially during night shifts, to minimise delays. Further qualitative research is needed to explore why nurses may delay rapid response team activation.Reporting MethodThe STROBE checklist was adhered to when reporting this study.‘No patient or public contribution’.
The Role of Electoral Interests in the National Distribution of EU Covid‐19 Funds
Authors: Hansum Romy 
Published: November 2024

AbstractExpectations are high regarding the impact of the extensive Covid‐19 crisis support ‘Next Generation EU’. Mixed experiences from established EU distributive policies indicate, though, that ultimate policy outcomes largely depend on national implementation decisions. This article scrutinises vote‐buying strategies according to which domestic governments exploit the largely autonomous national distribution of EU funds to target certain constituencies. To study national strategies, the analysis takes advantage of the extraordinary leeway given to domestic governments in distributing REACT‐EU funds, part of Next Generation EU. The encompassing quantitative analysis covers a large sample of member states and committed funds. The regression results provide no support that national governments distribute REACT‐EU funds to politically opportune regions. In a departure from most previous analyses focusing on specific member states, these findings suggest that vote buying is not the dominant strategy in the national implementation of all EU funds.

AbstractBackgroundFew programs exist to support aging in place for older adults. Age Self Care is a novel program providing older adults with evidence‐based information using group sessions embedded within the structure of a community‐based organization (CBO) to facilitate behavior change and support aging in place. We report on a preliminary study of Age Self Care conducted in collaboration between the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Division of Geriatrics, At Home With Growing Older (AHWGO), and San Francisco Village (SF Village).MethodsWe recruited middle‐income, community‐dwelling adults aged 65+ from university outpatient clinics. Participants attended eight 90‐min, video‐based group sessions and enrolled in SF Village, a non‐profit mutual support organization for older adults. Data collection included direct observations and a participant focus group. We used rapid analysis methods informed by the COM‐B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior Change) to assess behavior change.ResultsFourteen participants completed the 8‐week study (15 enrolled, 1 withdrew). Average attendance was 81% throughout the program. We found that 14 participants made concrete changes to optimize the ability to remain at home during the program. For example, participants engaged in evidence‐based falls risk reduction activities such as decluttering and improving lighting. We identified three facilitators to behavior change. First, Age Self Care promoted self‐management—the day‐to‐day management of health and chronic conditions by individuals—through education and community‐based resources. Second, peer support empowered participants to take charge of their health, home environment, and social networks. Third, the online platform created a community and was a catalyst for social opportunity. We identified one non‐modifiable barrier: pre‐existing financial barriers hindered some behavior change.ConclusionsIn this preliminary study, Age Self Care facilitated behavior change, including minor home modifications, fall risk reduction, and engagement in social networks, all of which support aging in place.
Heat‐induced kidney disease: Understanding the impact
Authors: Elinder Carl‐Gustaf 
Published: November 2024

AbstractResearch on Mesoamerican Nephropathy, chronic kidney disease of unknown cause and chronic kidney disease of nontraditional cause has been going on for more than 20 years. Thousands of manual workers, especially in agriculture, are affected. The disease has been reported in different countries and regions, not only from heat‐stressed sugarcane cutters in Central America but also from other occupational groups with strenuous work in hot environments. The cause of this disease is still debated. A multitude of causative factors have been suggested, including agrochemicals, water quality, infections, and heavy metals. The evidence that heat stress is the major cause of kidney disease is convincing, whereas the support for alternative causes is weak. Associations between exposure and kidney damage are strong, consistent, and specific, occur after acute and chronic exposure, display dose‐effect and dose–response relationships, are plausible, and coherent. Improving working conditions by providing hydration, rest, and shade to heat‐stress‐exposed workers is beneficial. Continued global warming will increase the number of people at risk for dangerous heat exposure and kidney disease.
