Published: November 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to develop utility weights for the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLU-C10D, a cancer-specific utility instrument, tailored to the Norwegian and Swedish populations. The utility weights are intended for use in the specific welfare contexts of Norway and Sweden to support more precise healthcare decision-making in cancer treatment and care.

Methods
This cross-sectional study included 1019 Norwegian and 1048 Swedish participants representative in age and gender of the two general populations. Participants completed a discrete choice experiment involving 960 choice sets, each consisting of two EORTC QLU-C10D health states described by the instrument’s domains and the duration of each state. Utility weights were calculated using generalized estimation equation models, and non-monotonic levels were merged to ensure consistent valuation.

Results
In the Norwegian participants, the largest utility decrements were seen for the domain of physical functioning (decrement of − 0.263 for highest level “very much”), followed by pain (decrement − 0.205 for level “very much”) and role functioning (− 0.139). Among the cancer-specific domains, nausea had the largest utility decrement (− 0.124). In the Swedish participants, the largest utility decrements were also observed for physical functioning (− 0.207 for the response “very much”), followed by pain (− 0.139), role functioning (− 0.133), and nausea (− 0.119). Emotional functioning also exhibited a sizable utility decrement (− 0.115).

Conclusion
This study provides the first set of utility weights for the EORTC QLU-C10D specific to Norway and Sweden, reflecting the unique health preferences of these populations. The generated utility decrements can inform cost-utility analyses and optimize resource allocation in cancer care within the Norwegian and Swedish healthcare systems.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Comprehension of photon-triggered molecular processes is essential in the study of various important topics in physics, chemistry, and biology. Here we propose a correlated tunneling picture to understand the dissociative ionization process of molecules in intense laser fields based on a quantum model developed in the framework of many-body S-matrix theory including nuclear vibrational motion. In this quantum correlation picture, the single ionization of H2 and the subsequent electron-ion recollision-induced dissociation are considered as an entangled correlated process. It enables us to attribute the interference pattern in the joint-energy spectra to combined effects of single-slit diffraction and multi-slit interference of correlated electron-nuclear wave packets in the time domain. Our work opens a new avenue to understanding molecular dissociative ionization processes in external fields.

Abstract

Summary

The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a useful tool for assessing nutritional status using serum albumin and lymphocyte count. This study indicates that a higher preoperative PNI correlates with improved mobility and health-related quality of life during the initial postoperative period in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Purpose
To investigate the prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in predicting mobility and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in elderly hip fracture patients after surgery.

Methods
We prospectively involved patients aged 65 and above, who could walk freely before injury and underwent surgery between 2018 and 2019. Admission PNI was calculated as serum albumin (g/L) + 5 × total lymphocyte count (× 109/L). Patients were classified into two groups based on PNI median value. All patients were followed up by telephone for four times (30-day, 120-day, 1-year, and 3-year after surgery). The Fracture Mobility Score (FMS) and EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D 5L) were used to evaluate mobility and HRQoL, respectively.

Results
Of 705 eligible patients, 487 completed all assessments. Patients in the higher PNI group had a significantly increased possibility of achieving unrestricted mobility at the 120-day follow-up (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.10–2.61, P.adj = 0.017), while no significant differences were observed at other follow-ups. Additionally, patients in the higher PNI group had a significantly higher EQ-5D utility value at the 30-day follow-up (P.adj = 0.015). A linear regression model with adjusting for all confounders showed that admission PNI value was positively associated with EQ-5D utility values at 30-day, 120-day, and 1-year follow-up assessments (P.adj = 0.011, P.adj = 0.001, and P.adj = 0.030, respectively). However, this correlation was not observed at the 3-year time point (P.adj = 0.079).

Conclusion
The PNI is a valuable predictor of functional outcomes in elderly patients with hip fractures following surgery.
State-of-the-Art Review of Continuum Mechanics-Based Modelling of Soil Surface Erosion
Authors: Feng Hang , Yin Zhen-Yu , Peng Maozhu , Guo Qimeng 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSoil surface erosion can shape the morphography of rivers and estuaries in the natural environment and induce high potential risks to structures in engineering. Numerical simulations based on continuum mechanics theory can provide reliable assessments of the evolution of surface erosion from the perspective of a large-scale view. However, current studies on continuum mechanics-based modelling are still limited. This paper comprehensively reviews such numerical simulations of soil surface erosion. This review begins by discussing the fundamental physical mechanisms of surface erosion. Subsequently, it explores the basic physics-based conservation equations controlling soils and fluids in surface erosion. Then, the empirical formulae depicting the different stages of surface erosion are presented. Building on these mathematical foundations, this paper reviews various numerical methods for surface erosion modelling from a continuum mechanics perspective. Finally, this paper discusses the advantages and limitations of the numerical methods. This work can provide researchers convenience for using numerical models on surface erosion simulations.
Edible Films from the Laboratory to Industry: A Review of the Different Production Methods
Authors: Weng S. , Marcet I. , Rendueles M. , Díaz M. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractEdible films or coatings as potential replacements for traditional plastic food packaging are a popular subject for research. This article provides a narrative summary of the progress of research into edible food packaging and preparation methods at three different production scales over the past 5 years. First, at the laboratory research level, commonly used coating methods include dipping, vacuum dipping, and spraying. Films are mostly made by solution casting, while 3D printing film technology and electrospinning/electrostatic spraying are emerging technologies in the field. At the pilot level, panning coating, brush coating, and fluidized bed technologies give edible food packaging a more scalable and realistic approach. On an industrial manufacturing scale, in order to improve film formation efficiency, blowing, injection, calendering, etc. are generally based on the extrusion mode. Laboratory-scale research is critical for developing materials and exploring their properties. The technology used for industrial-scale production needs to consider factors such as cost and efficiency. Each technology for making food packaging needs to be selected according to the production purposes and the currently available packaging equipment. However, commonly used edible packaging source materials are generally derived from biological macromolecules such as proteins and polysaccharides. These materials are heated and extruded in industrial production, and their performance will be inferior to that of traditional plastic packaging. In addition, high cost is also a factor that must be considered.
Glacial energy futures? The history of unbuilt hydropower in Greenland from the 1950s to the 1970s
Authors: Priebe Janina 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article examines how and by whom the future of glacial energy was imagined in Greenland between the 1950s and 1970s, with a specific emphasis on the intersection of discourses of energy and political autonomy. The focus lies on the years from 1953, marking the end of Greenland’s colonial status and its integration into the realm of its former colonial authority, Denmark, until 1979, when the Greenland Home Rule Agreement was enacted. The futures of hydropower are explored through the lens of energy imaginaries, a notion that underscores the interconnectedness between different forms of energy and the organization of social structures. These imaginaries revolving around hydropower circulated in the public-political space in Greenland decades prior to when the first operational hydropower plant came online in 1993. Through a historical empirical analysis, this article identifies the energy imaginaries linked to envisioned hydropower and delineates key phases of their emergence. It also discusses these envisioned futures of hydropower in the historical context of Arctic oil exploration and Greenland’s strivings toward political autonomy. The energy imaginaries of hydropower, especially glacial hydropower generated adjacent to Greenland’s inland icesheet, built on a long-term timeline and autonomous society, in contrast to the oil development that was favoured by Danish authorities at the time. Ultimately, it was the considerations of the sources and scale of the necessary investments that deferred the implementation of hydropower until the late 1980s. However, the groundwork for viewing Greenland’s water resources as a cornerstone for its future independence had been laid.
How Does Perceived University Support Boost Students’ Entrepreneurial Intentions?

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis investigation aims to study the influence of psychological characteristics, entrepreneurial education, and students’ perceptions of institutional support provided by higher education institutions (HEIs) on entrepreneurial intention. For the development of this research, a questionnaire was applied to students in the areas of economic and business sciences, who were attending the final year of their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The data was collected from three HEIs in the North of Portugal, and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the proposed model. By addressing the combined effects of perceived institutional support and entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intentions, this research offers both theoretical and practical contributions. Theoretically, this study extends the application of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by integrating the concepts of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial mindset. The research highlights the positive impact of perceived HEI support and entrepreneurial education on students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy, which, in turn, influences their adherence to planned behavior and the development of an entrepreneurial mindset. This nuanced understanding advances the discourse on how educational environments can shape entrepreneurial intentions. Practically, the findings provide actionable insights for HEIs, enabling them to evaluate and enhance their support mechanisms and educational programs to more effectively cultivate entrepreneurial intentions among students. This research is, therefore, original in its approach, addressing a critical gap in the literature by empirically examining the combined effects of psychological characteristics, entrepreneurial education, and perceived HEI support on entrepreneurial intention. Through this investigation, we contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive entrepreneurial intention, thus offering a foundation for universities to optimize their strategies in support of student entrepreneurship.

Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Öffentlich vorhandene Erklärvideos werden im Rahmen schulischer Lehr-Lern-Prozesse genutzt – am häufigsten im Schulfach Mathematik. Der Stand der Forschung im Hinblick auf die Geltung des Wissens, das in Erklärvideos dargeboten wird, zeigt eine Diskrepanz zwischen einer didaktisch-fachlichen Perspektive einerseits sowie der Perspektive der Lernenden andererseits. In dieser methodologischen Studie wird untersucht, inwieweit sich Erklärvideos bezüglich ihrer Angebote zur Herstellung von Geltung vergleichen lassen. Dabei können Angebote zur Herstellung von Geltung dazu führen, dass die präsentierten Inhalte von Lernenden akzeptiert werden. Dazu wurden fünf öffentlich vorhandene Erklärvideos (YouTube, sofatutor) zur Einführung von Funktionen und fünf zu Schnittpunktberechnungen zweier linearer Funktionen zunächst inhaltsanalytisch untersucht. Aufbauend auf dieser qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse werden die Videos quantitativ bezüglich ihrer Häufigkeiten zum Vorkommen verschiedener Arten von Angeboten zur Herstellung von Geltung untersucht. Hinsichtlich dieser Häufigkeiten zeigt sich, dass Erklärvideos zur Einführung von Funktionen häufig Themen oder Begriffe definieren und konkreter nachvollziehen, wobei Erklärvideos zu Schnittpunktberechnungen häufig Themen oder Begriffe demonstrieren.

Published: November 2024

AbstractConventional zolmitriptan (ZOL) has limited oral bioavailability, many adverse effects, and poor membrane penetrability that negatively influences its accessibility to its 5-HT1B/1D receptor binding pocket, located transmemberanous. This work aimed at preparing transdermal ZOL-nanoformulation (niosomes) to surpass these limitations and to explore novel antimigraine mechanisms for ZOL via modulation of the epigenetically-altered chronification genes (RAMP-1, NPTX-2) or microRNAs and affecting the endocannabinoid CB-1/MAPK pathway. The prepared ZOL niosomes (Fsp60/6−1:1) exhibited %EE of 57.28%, PS of 472.3 nm, PDI of 0.366, and ZP of -26 mV were cast into patch with content uniformity of 93.12%, maintained endurance after 200-times folding, no interaction between its components (FT-IR), a biphasic release pattern and good stability after storage at 4 °C for 6 months. In-vivo ZOL-patch application in rats with nitroglycerin-induced migraine showed significant management of migraine pain symptoms and photophobia assessed behaviorally, decreased brain levels of the trigeminal neuronal activation marker (c-fos), the migraine pain neurotransmitter (CGRP) and the serum levels of different migraine pain markers (substance P, nitric-oxide, and TNF-α). It also significantly decreased RAMP-1, NPTX-2, miR-382-5p, and CB-1/MAPK gene expression reflecting improved efficacy and brain receptors delivery to a much greater extent than conventional ZOL has done. Additionally, this nanoformulation significantly opposed migraine-induced platelet activation and hypercoagulable status in both central and peripheral circulations as evidenced by the significant decrease in adenosine diphosphate, thrombin, factor X, CD41, and Von-Willebrand factor levels assessed peripherally and centrally. TPFsp60/6−1:1 significantly improved ZOL efficacy and accessibility to brain-receptors to a much greater extent than conventional ZOL-solution.KeywordsEndocannabinoid receptors; Epigenetically-altered genes; Hemostatic pathways; Niosomal patch; Transdermal; Zolmitriptan

Emotion Regulation Strategies of Thai Teachers Facing Communication Challenges with Migrant Students: A Q Methodology Study
Authors: Thumvichit Athip , Phanthaphoommee Narongdej 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe study employed Q methodology to investigate Thai primary school teachers’ emotion regulation (ER) in classrooms with migrant students, categorizing them into different cohorts based on their shared ER strategies and exploring how these strategies influence teachers and their multicultural classrooms. Three distinct teacher groups were identified. The first group, re-rationalizers, address obstacles by reinterpreting them in a positive light, emphasizing their roles as moral guides and facilitators of student development. The second group, change makers, tackle communication issues directly with a strong commitment to student support and an inclusive mindset. The third group, self-distractors, manage emotional difficulties by shifting their attention to the positive aspects of the situation. Although they may not directly address the issue, this strategy helps maintain a positive atmosphere in the multicultural classroom. These strategies highlight the importance of understanding teachers’ emotion regulation among the participants to enhance their effectiveness in working with diverse students, with implications for policymakers and education at large. The findings underscore the significance of understanding teachers’ emotion regulation strategies to improve their effectiveness in diverse educational settings. These insights have implications for policymakers and educational practices.

The Role of Daily LMX Quality and Attachment Orientations in the Daily Workload-Emotional Strain Relationship
Authors: Schusterschitz Claudia , Geser Wilhelm 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn response to the call to integrate two separate streams of research, on the relations between daily job stressors and well-being, and on the relations between daily leader-member exchange (LMX) fluctuations and well-being, this study analyzed the mediating role of daily LMX quality in the daily relationship between workload and emotional strain. In addition, we examined whether insecure attachment orientations moderate the relationships between workload and LMX quality, and LMX quality and emotional strain at the day- and person-level. Employees (N = 339) completed daily surveys over ten working days. Results support an indirect effect of daily LMX quality on the daily workload-emotional strain relationship when attachment anxiety and avoidance are high. Attachment avoidance moderates the daily relationship between workload and LMX, such that a higher than usual daily workload worsens daily LMX quality for employees high in attachment avoidance. The person-level moderator effect for attachment anxiety implies that the LMX quality of employees with high attachment anxiety worsens, when workload is higher than the average sample workload. Attachment anxiety also moderates the daily relationship between LMX quality and negative emotions, such that employees high in attachment anxiety experience more negative emotions on workdays with lower LMX quality. In summary, we integrate and contribute to day-level research on LMX and well-being, by showing that LMX quality plays a decisive role in the stressor-strain process of insecurely attached employees. Our findings also add to day-level research on LMX and well-being by identifying two conditions that hinder daily LMX relationship quality: workload and attachment orientations.

AbstractDuring dry seasons, elevated aerosol levels across Thailand pose nationwide problems. Understanding and addressing this issue is challenging due to the dynamic nature of aerosol modification and generation during transport. This study investigates the morphology and elemental compositions of coarse aerosol particles in Bangkok, Thailand, during the dry seasons of 2020/21. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), the study reveals a complex mixture of anthropogenic, mineral, biogenic, and marine aerosols. Anthropogenic sources, including biomass burning, vehicular emissions, and industrial activities, contribute to carbonaceous particles like soot aggregates and tar balls. Mineral dust particles, predominantly calcium-rich and aluminosilicate, originate from various sources including construction, industry, and natural processes. Aging processes alter the composition and properties of both carbonaceous and mineral particles, influencing nutrient deposition, carbon sequestration, cloud condensation nuclei formation, and light scattering. These processes have multifaceted impacts on ecosystem health and climate dynamics, highlighting the need for further research and mitigation strategies to address the environmental consequences of aged aerosol particles in urban environments like Bangkok.
