Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIntroductionPartnering with Consumers in healthcare systems is now widely accepted and mandated in many countries. Despite this acceptance, there is minimal information regarding the best practice of how to successfully establish systems to embed this practice into healthcare systems.MethodsThis evaluation used the RE‐AIM implementation framework to retrospectively analyse data from a 3‐year timeline to review the events relating to the transition of Consumer Partnering into a Clinical Governance Unit. Data was sourced via Phase 1 – a focus group to establish a 3‐year timeline of events, enablers and barriers, and Phase 2 – a quantitative and qualitative semi‐structured interview to review systems that had been developed to support embedding partnering with consumers into Clinical Governance.ResultsFive primary enablers and five barriers to successfully embedding a Consumer Partnering Team into a Clinical Governance Unit were identified. Enablers included Executive sponsorship and ownership of the value of partnering with consumers, Executive leadership influence on local area uptake, an organization‐wide network, valuing via remuneration, and a centralized orientation and onboarding programme for Consumer Partners. Barriers included skills and attitudes of committee chairs, the size of the Directorate (smaller local areas can be easier to influence change), patient feedback data requires interpretation to be useful, staff turnover can reduce the relationships with Consumer Partners, and financial insecurity is a barrier to implementation and maintenance.ConclusionsThis article described how an Australian Health Service embedded a Consumer Partnering Team into a Clinical Governance Unit to ensure that partnering became business as usual practice. Enablers, barriers, and unintended consequences can be used as learnings for other organizations to develop a similar approach.Patient or Public ContributionTwo Consumer Partners with lived experience of the health service, and members of the organizations committee structures are part of the evaluation team. As team members, the consumers participated as equal contributors in evaluation design, analysis of the focus group and interview data, and contribution to the writing and review of the manuscript. Two Consumer Partners with lived experience of the health service, and members of the committee structures participated in the focus groups and the interviews.

AbstractConsidering the demanding and challenging nature of the teaching profession in general and foreign/second language (L2) teaching contexts in particular, there is a need to examine protective psychological resources such as grit—conceptualized as the inclination to show consistent interest and perseverance in times of setbacks and failures—among L2 teachers. Given the recently emerging status of the L2 research on grit and the multitude of factors that might potentially affect teachers’ grit, this study examined the roles of growth teaching mindset, positive and negative emotions (enjoyment, anxiety, and anger), and self‐efficacy in L2 teachers’ grit. The participants were 215 Iranian teachers who were recruited via convenience sampling and responded to four questionnaires: Sudina et al.’s L2 Teacher Grit Scale, Frenzel et al.’s Teacher Emotions Scale, Nalipay et al.’s Growth Teaching Mindset Scale, and the short version of Tschannen‐Moran and Hoy's Teacher Self‐Efficacy Scale. The results indicated that all three factors significantly contributed to the teachers’ grit. Moreover, based on the results of relative weight analysis (RWA), the relative weights of enjoyment, followed by self‐efficacy and growth teaching mindset, were significantly higher in predicting teachers’ grit while anxiety and anger had the lowest relative weight. Implications for promoting teachers’ enjoyment, self‐efficacy, and growth teaching mindset as well as suggestions for future studies are presented.

ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of uropathogens in dogs and cats with signs of urinary tract infection and to characterise their antimicrobial susceptibility.Materials and MethodsUrine samples from canine and feline patients with clinical signs of urinary tract infection were collected between September 2015 and December 2019 in Santiago, Chile. Bacterial identification and bacterial susceptibility profile was performed through biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility tests.ResultsFour hundred sixty‐six samples from dogs (37.7%) and 152 from cats (26.1%) showed bacterial growth. Positive samples were mainly from females (dogs: 52.8%; cats: 48.0%), with the highest infection rates in senior dogs (57.7%) and adult cats (45.4%). A single organism caused the infection in 78.2% of the cases, whereas the remaining 21.8% corresponded to a mixed infection. The most prevalent isolated pathogen in dogs and cats was Escherichia coli (42.6% and 49.7%, respectively). Staphylococcus spp. (15.6% and 14.6%), Enterococcus spp. (8.6% and 15.2%) and Proteus spp. (9.7% and 6.4%) were also commonly isolated. A total of 52.4% of Escherichia coli isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, 44.3% to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, 40.0% to cephradine and 25.3% to ciprofloxacin. Regarding the other three uropathogens commonly isolated in this study, all of them showed a percentage of resistance to the antimicrobials analysed. In addition, 24.6% of multidrug resistance was detected in the E. coli isolates. Penicillin, cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones showed the lowest susceptibility levels.Clinical SignificanceThe observed high rates of resistance to commonly prescribed antimicrobials raise concerns for public health.

Published: November 2024

AbstractPrimary mediastinal apocrine adenocarcinoma is extremely rare, with only one case reported to date. Here, we report a surgical case of primary mediastinal apocrine adenocarcinoma. An anterior mediastinal cystic tumor with calcification was identified on chest computed tomography scan in a 51‐year‐old female patient undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The tumor was 19 mm in size, did not invade the adjacent organs or show distant metastases, and was surgically removed. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor cells exhibited cribriform or solid proliferation patterns with thick fibrous capsules. The tumor cells had an abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and decapitation secretion was noted. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity for GCDFP‐15 and androgen receptors, with Ki‐67 positivity at 10%. The cyst wall exhibited extensive fibrosis and keratinized material, with bone and bronchial glands identified at the cyst periphery; the tumor cells were contiguous with those structures. The patient was diagnosed with apocrine adenocarcinoma arising from a mature cystic teratoma. The patient has maintained a recurrence‐free status without adjuvant therapy for 6 years after surgery. This case presents a small primary mediastinal apocrine adenocarcinoma that achieved remarkable long‐term survival.
Making sense of the economics of abortion in the United States
Authors: Weitz Tracy A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn 2023 the editors of Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health issued a special call for papers related to the economics of abortion. Ten of those submissions are included in this volume and address critical issues including: (1) the role Medicaid continues to play in abortion access and how changes in state Medicaid coverage of abortion have expanded and restricted abortion care use; (2) how low‐income individuals without insurance coverage for abortion utilize resources from abortion funds and through crowdsourcing platforms; (3) how the price of medication abortion has decreased with the availability of telemedicine medication abortion and how providers of that service are making efforts to reduce those prices even further; and (4) how legally restricting abortion access has significant economic implications for state economies and the US society as a whole. In this introduction, I review the general scope of prior research on the economics of abortion in the US as it relates to stigma‐induced silences, abortion seekers, abortion providers, and abortion assistance organizations. I then highlight the new contributions made by the articles contained in this special issue.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) has become an integral element of many manufacturing and service industries. A fundamental requirement for safe HRC is understanding and predicting human trajectories and intentions, especially when humans and robots operate nearby. Although existing research emphasizes predicting human motions or intentions, a key challenge is predicting both human trajectories and intentions simultaneously. This paper addresses this gap by developing a multi-task learning (MTL) framework consisting of a Bi-LSTM-based encoder-decoder architecture that obtains the motion data from both human and robot trajectories as inputs and performs two main tasks simultaneously: human trajectory prediction and human intention prediction. The first task predicts human trajectories, focusing on reconstructing the motion sequences, while the second task tests two main approaches for intention prediction: supervised learning, specifically a Support Vector Machine (SVM), to predict human intention based on the latent representation, and, an unsupervised learning method, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM), that decodes the latent features for human intention prediction. Four encoder designs are evaluated for feature extraction, including interaction-attention, interaction-pooling, interaction-Seq2Seq, and Seq2Seq. The framework is validated through a case study of a desktop disassembly task with robots operating at different speeds. The results include evaluating different encoder designs, analyzing the impact of incorporating robot motion into the encoder, and detailed visualizations. The findings show that our proposed framework can accurately predict human trajectories and intentions.

Abstract
Corrosion damage was observed on piping that had been infiltrated by sand during extended on-site storage prior to installation. It was suspected that the required post-hydrotest flushing operation failed to clear the sand, ultimately contributing to the observed piping damage. To analyze the efficacy of the flushing procedure, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed for a water-sand slurry. The model treated this multiphase flow utilizing a transient, three-dimensional Eulerian approach, including a granular submodel to simulate movement of the sand. The CFD model was validated against a previous study that considered a similar flow problem, achieving good agreement with experimental data. Analysis of the sand-infiltration incident then followed, with parameters such as flow velocity, initial sand volume fraction, pipe length, and duration of flushing varied to determine their effects on the flushing process. The CFD model revealed that, even for a pipe length about half that for a typical hydrostatic test segment, residual sand was likely to remain in the pipe at the conclusion of the flushing procedure. In contrast, a higher-velocity (2 m/s) remedial flush performed after weld repairs were completed was successful in removing remaining sand from the piping.
Effect of Specimen Rotation on Crack Size Estimation in J-R Curve Testing Using Compact Tension Specimen
Authors: Kim Kuk-Cheol , Song Jeon-Young , Ma Young-Wha 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In order to verify the structural integrity of power generation facilities, many fracture toughness tests are being performed on high-toughness materials, and efforts are being made to obtain reliable J-R curve. In particular, in the case of nuclear piping system to which Leak Before Break (LBB) design is applied, high-toughness materials are used, and fracture toughness testing is also required to be conducted until sufficiently long crack extension is possible. However, when performing a J-R curve testing of a high-toughness material using a compact tension (CT) specimen to a crack extension size as long as possible, it is difficult to obtain reliable test results due to the phenomenon of rotation of the specimen. Therefore, when estimating the crack size during testing using the compliance method, compliance is measured with the test specimen rotated. At this time, in order to obtain reliable J-R curve data, accurate crack size estimation is required from the compliance measured on the rotated test specimen.
ASTM E1820 introduces a compliance correction equation to correct for the rotation effect of the test specimen. In our previous paper, the author proposed a new crack size estimation method that additionally considered the effect of load line changes due to specimen rotation, and proved its validity through testing. In this study, the mechanical mechanism for crack size estimation from rotated specimens has been investigated. In addition, the crack size prediction accuracy of the ASTM E1820 method and the proposed method has been compared and evaluated through finite element (FE) analysis of specimens deformed by rotation. In the FE analysis, evaluation has been performed when the specimen rotation was large or small, and crack size to specimen width ratio, a/W, was varied between 0.5 and 0.7. As a result of FE analysis, the proposed method showed better accuracy than the ASTM E1820 method. Thereby, it was verified that the author’s method for estimating crack size considering rotation of CT specimens has better accuracy in both FE analysis and experimental evaluation compared to the ASTM E1820 method.

Abstract
An inelastic response-spectrum analysis method for multi-degree-of-freedom systems was proposed. The method has lower analysis loads and predictable by the inelastic response-spectrum and is not an equivalent-linearization method. We propose a seismic evaluation method of piping systems to conduct seismic design using response-spectrum analysis. In the previous paper, the inelastic response-spectrum analysis of piping systems was proposed. The output of the analysis is the ductility factors of the pipe elements which are defined as a ratio of maximum deformation and yield deformation of them: pipes, elbows, etc. In this paper, fatigue assessment method of pipe elements is presented using the ductility factors. The strain ranges of elbows as a representative of pipe elements are determined from the ductility factors of them based on finite element analyses of various geometrical and boundary conditions. As a result, the equation for the relation between equivalent strain and ductility factors of pipe elements are obtained. The fatigue assessment of pipe elements can be conducted using this equation.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
High-pressure equipment for the oil and gas industry is predominately designed per API, ASME, and NORSOK design codes. This paper briefly reviews some essential technical requirements for pressure-containing equipment where internal pressure and bending moment loading may govern the design. The paper intends to provide users and personnel in code committees with information to assist in evaluating the structural safety of operating pressure-containing equipment. The scope is limited to the design of cylindrical shells and straight pipes constructed of low alloy steels. The paper compares material requirements and design loads of the following codes: API 6A, API 16A, API 17D, API 17G, API 17TR8, ASME VIII.2, ASME VIII.3, and NORSOK U-001 Annex B. Recommendations are given to ensure consistency between design calculation assumptions and material requirements to obtain expected design margins and structural safety.
Development of ASME Section VIII Division 1 Code Case 3078 on Electrochemical Cell Stacks for Electrolysis
Authors: Xu Kang 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Electrochemical Cell Stacks (ECS) are a critical component in electrolysis and fuel cell systems. The design of ECS typically consists of multiple layered cell packs that are secured by end plates and tie rods to achieve a leak tight construction. To achieve better efficiency and reduce operating cost, the development of ECS has evolved to larger sizes and higher operating pressures. It is not uncommon for ECS to have hundreds of stacked unit cells with a design pressure exceeding 500 psi (3.5 MPa) and maximum cross section diagonal exceeding several feet. ISO 22734 and ANSI/CSA B22734 provide some performance-based design guidelines for mechanical integrity of ECS. However, the detailed pressure stress design and material requirements are lacking. Having recognized that the construction of ECS is very similar to plate heat exchangers, ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1 has developed specific code rules for ECS based on Mandatory Appendix 45 for plate exchangers. The rules are first introduced in a newly approved Section VIII Division 1 Code Case 3078, considering the metallic components such as end plates, tie rod and nozzles as pressure boundary. Due to the special electrochemical functionality of the cell pack, the cell pack itself is exempted from code rules provided that it meets certain performance-based requirements. This paper documents the technical basis and the development of Code Case 3078. As future development, considerations are being given to incorporate the Code Case as Mandatory Appendix in Section VIII Division 1.

Authors: Mora Mendez Diego Fernando , Niffenegger Markus 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Pressurized thermo-shock (PTS) evaluation is a crucial safety assessment for continued nuclear power plant operation. Given the challenges and cost constraints of full-scale PTS experiments on reactor pressure vessels (RPVs), at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) thermal shock-like cooling experiments on small, thick-walled cylindrical mock-ups have been conducted. These aim to understand the initiation, growth, and arrest of precracks. Simultaneously, ABAQUS simulations with a 2D extended finite element model (XFEM) focused on simulating precrack fracture behavior under thermal shock (TS) have been performed. These simulations exclude pressure, emphasizing inducing mode I fracture through pure tensile hoop stresses during rapid cooling, mimicking a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenario. Material considered is thermally treated RPV steel (17MoV 8-4), simulating end-of-life service conditions. The XFEM model’s sensitivity to mesh size and fracture criteria are discussed, emphasizing their importance in predicting crack paths. The research contributes to understanding extreme conditions, enhancing the safety and reliability of nuclear power generation.
A Review of Comparative Analysis of Heat Transfer in Pipe Clamps
Authors: Wiseman Phillip , Kulkarni Sanket , Muaviya Shaik M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The determination of pipe support and restraint assemblies are predicated on loads, geometrical constraints (i.e. distance between building steel and the pipe), and temperatures of the environment, pipe, or component. When designing and analyzing pipe clamps, thermal stresses are not generally considered but the transfer of heat from pipe to the clamp plays a major role in material selection of the clamp. The bolting and connecting hardware to the assembly may not necessarily experience the same temperature that the part of the clamp that is in direct contact with the pipe. Thus, this may be optimized for the geometry or material to provide an economical solution. Additionally, the connecting parts of the assembly (i.e. strut, snubber, energy absorber) could potentially see temperatures above ambient depending on the geometry of the clamp. This work primarily investigates the heat transfer of the traditional 3-bolt clamps and the state-of-the-art yoke style clamps. The present study is a continuation of a publication that considered temperature reduction methods for pipe supports considering a variety of commonly used codes and standards. The steady-state finite element analysis results generated are utilized to provide a comparison of the thermal distribution of the aforementioned clamps thereby offering a more efficient and economical design.
A Proposed Weight Function Method for 2-D Embedded Cracks Subject to Arbitrary Stress Distribution
Authors: Altstadt Steven , Bouse Scott 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The current library of API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 2021 Fitness-For-Service stress intensity factor solutions includes options for arbitrary stress distribution inputs for most surface crack configurations. However, for embedded cracks, the listed solutions are limited to fourth order order polynomial through-thickness stress distribution inputs, which can be a poor approximation in some applications. The current study independently investigated embedded 2-D cracks to develop a weight function method approach to extend the state of the art in API 579-1. The proposed method shares several theoretical and practical similarities with the API 579-1 Part 9B approach used for surface cracks subject to arbitrary stress distributions. However, as shown in the provided derivation, the proposed weight function approach for embedded cracks also has some distinct differences. Weight function derived stress intensity factor solutions were compared to linear elastic finite element results for representative geometries including plates, cylinders, and spheres commonly found in pressure equipment. As with the surface crack approach, the accuracy of the method is partially dependent on the number of weight function terms included. For typical fitness for service applications, reasonably accurate results are found when five terms with coefficients are included; however, fewer terms can be successfully used when the embedded crack size is very small compared to all other component dimensions.
