PurposeThis study is part of a series aimed at improving the city's environment, as fully restoring the past soundscape is hardly feasible. The initial study aims to uncover the city's sound characteristics, including iconic sounds that have shaped the city's environment for decades, contributing to its status as Indonesia's second most popular tourist destination. This stage is critical for informing policymaking to carefully manage and enhance the urban acoustic environment in alignment with the preserved culture.Design/methodology/approachThe city's sound profile was examined using standard urban sound taxonomies. The study used quantitative methods, including (1) sound pressure level (SPL) measurements and sound recordings, (2) in situ surveys and (3) memory-based surveys. The first set of data were compared to current standards and standard urban sound taxonomies, while the second set was analysed to determine the median rating score for determining the soundscape dimensions. The third data set was used to identify the specific acoustic aspects inherent in Yogyakarta.FindingsYogyakarta's acoustic environment was bustling, with traffic noise and human activities dominating the soundscape, surpassing the standard levels. Many sounds not classified in standard urban sound taxonomies were present, showing the diverse nature of urban sound classification, particularly in a cultural and traditional city like Yogyakarta. The memory-based survey unveils Yogyakarta's two most remarkable soundmarks, “gamelan” and “andong”, which support the findings of prior studies. The in situ survey rated the city's acoustic environment as eventful, pleasurable and generally appropriate, emphasising the presence of cultural sounds unique to Yogyakarta, even though they are not fully audible in the current environment.Originality/valueThe standard sound taxonomies used in urban areas need to be adjusted to include the unique sounds produced by cultural and traditional activities in developing countries. The ordinates and subordinates of the taxonomies also need to be updated. When cultural and daily activities are massively seen in a particular city, the sounds they produce can be recalled exclusively as the city's signature. It is urgent to implement policies to safeguard the few remaining soundmarks before they disappear entirely.

Published: September 2024

Purpose
The impact of dependence on self-care on people’s lives is very significant, with consequences for the person and their caregivers. The purpose of this study is to map the evidence on the factors that influence the empowerment of the person dependent on self-care on returning home.

Design/methodology/approach
Scoping review according to the criteria proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute: population (people with a dependence on self-care), concept (factors that influence training) and context (return home after hospitalization in a medical-surgical context). The research was carried out from March 1 to April 30, 2022, in the databases CINAHL and MEDLINE (via EBSCO), Scielo, LILACS, Cuiden and MedicLatina; Gray literature searched RCAAP, DART-Europe and OpenGrey. Studies published in Portuguese, Spanish and English were included, with no time limit.

Findings
One hundred and eighty-one articles were obtained, which, after analysis according to the criteria, resulted in seven studies included for review, ranging from 2007 to 2021, with a level of evidence between 2. c and 4. a (according to Joanna Briggs Institute), and two thematic areas/four categories emerging.

Research limitations/implications
The need for information and training, the relationship and proximity with the health-care team, the design of nursing care targeted at the person’s level of dependence, education, gender, type of surgical intervention and postoperative period, physical space and lack of privacy and audiovisual media.

Originality/value
The perception of these factors proves to be important in the person’s training process, with the nurse’s role being highlighted due to their emphasis on the transition home.
Reflections on achieving anti‐racism in organisations: The role of human resource management scholars and practitioners
Authors: Ogbonna Emmanuel 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this article, I reflect on the role of human resource management (HRM [I acknowledge that HRM scholarship encompasses a wide range of researchers employing varying analytical and methodological lenses and that publish in an eclectic mix of journals within and outside the human resource management domain. However, although I draw from other journals and academies for illustrative purposes, this article focuses on the two journals that are most widely respected in the field (Human Resource Management Journal and Human Resource Management)] in the treatment of race and racism in organisations. I argue that the combined negative impacts of the brutal murder of George Floyd before a social media watching world and the strong evidence of negative racially disproportionate impacts of the coronavirus pandemic contributed to a collective moral outrage and provided an unprecedented catalyst and opportunity to tackle institutional racism. I provide a review of research interests to argue that HRM scholars and the business practitioners they commonly inform have not grasped this opportunity fully, in that the treatment of race remains inadequate and informed by an erroneous view of race as neutral and irrelevant in influencing organisational outcomes. I contend that this presents a danger that racism will continue to thrive. I argue that grasping this opportunity fully requires a rethinking of the approaches commonly adopted by HRM scholars and practitioners to acknowledge and embrace fully the significance of race (and anti‐racism) in influencing organisational outcomes. I call for a reconsideration of key constructs, especially those that are implicated in racism (such as organisational culture and culture change) so that anti‐racism is at the centre of HRM conceptualisations and organisational processes.
L‐carnitine for valproic acid‐induced toxicity
Authors: Gziut Tomasz , Thanacoody Ruben 
Published: September 2024

AimsReview the effectiveness and dosing of L‐carnitine for valproic‐acid induced toxicity.MethodsA literature review of the pharmacokinetics and clinical use of L‐carnitine was performed.ResultsValproic acid is a fatty acid used for numerous therapeutic indications ranging from epilepsy to bipolar disorder. The metabolism of valproic acid produces both therapeutic and toxic metabolites. Whilst it has a good safety profile, adverse effects of valproic acid in chronic use include hepatotoxicity ranging from transient elevation of liver enzymes to fulminant liver failure and hyperammonaemia with resultant encephalopathy. L‐carnitine is an essential cofactor for mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism, which is an important source of energy in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Physiological concentrations of L‐carnitine are maintained in man by exogenous dietary intake and endogenous synthesis. Following exogenous oral administration of L‐carnitine, the bioavailability ranges from 14% to 18%. After bolus intravenous administration of L‐carnitine in doses ranging from 20 to 100 mg/kg, the volume of distribution is 0.2–0.3 L/kg, and the fraction excreted unchanged in urine is 0.73–0.95, suggesting that renal clearance of L‐carnitine is dose dependent due to saturable renal reabsorption at supraphysiological concentrations.ConclusionsThere is evidence supporting the use of L‐carnitine in treating hyperammonaemia and hepatotoxicity following chronic therapeutic use and after acute overdose of valproic acid, but the optimal dose and route of administration is unknown. Based on the pharmacokinetics of L‐carnitine, we advocate the administration of L‐carnitine for valproic‐acid induced hyperammonaemia or hepatotoxicity as an intravenous loading dose of 5 mg/kg followed by a continuous intravenous infusion instead of the oral or intravenous boluses that are currently advocated.
Events and entrepreneurial passion: The moderating role of event coping competence
Authors: Li Megan Yuan , Luo Lingli , Makino Shige 
Published: September 2024

AbstractFew studies have examined how external events that disrupt the economy impact entrepreneurial passion. To address this gap, we focus on two event aspects: event novelty and event disruption. We examine their impact on entrepreneurial passion under two contingencies: innovation capability and future orientation. We conducted a field survey study with government initiatives as the focal event (Study 1) and an online survey study with the COVID‐19 pandemic (Study 2). We supplemented our analysis with interviews of entrepreneurs in two Silicon Alleys of China. Study 1 shows that event novelty and disruption positively affect entrepreneurial passion when ventures have strong innovation capabilities or future‐oriented entrepreneurs. However, Study 2 reveals that, during the COVID‐19 outbreak, innovation capability does not significantly influence passion related to event novelty, and future orientation does not moderate the relationship between event disruption and passion. This study elucidates how and when external events influence entrepreneurial passion.
SELF‐EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR MARKET RISKS
Authors: Audoly Richard 
Published: September 2024

AbstractI study the labor market risks associated with self‐employment. I document that the self‐employed are subject to larger earnings fluctuations than employees and frequently transition into unemployment. I analyze the provision of benefits targeted at these risks using a calibrated search model with (i) precautionary savings, (ii) work opportunities in paid‐ and self‐employment, and (iii) skill heterogeneity. Extending the U.S. unemployment insurance scheme to the self‐employed increases the transition rate from self‐employment to unemployment and yields an unequal benefits to contributions ratio across skill groups. At the calibrated parameters, the self‐employed in the middle of the skill distribution lose welfare.
JEJUNO‐ILEAL BYPASS SURGERY IN OBESITY

Published: September 2024

Changes in the quality of life were demonstrated in 38 young women who had undergone intestinal bypass surgery for obesity. After the operation about half the women complained of decreased libido or sexual activity, apparently due to psychological problems related to the development of asthenia secondary to metabolic disturbances.Bypass surgery resulted in a more regular pattern of menstruation but oral contraception was ineffective because of impaired intestinal absorption, perhaps due to a rapid transit time.No absolute contraindication to pregnancy was found but there are many risk‐factors for both mother and fetus because of electrolyte disturbances, malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. Infants born to women after bypass surgery were found to have lower birth weights, were shorter, and the placental weight was low. It is necessary for these patients to have close medical supervision.The results of our study show that intestinal bypass surgery in young women has side effects which should not be ignored.
URINARY BILE ACIDS IN WOMEN TREATED WITH CONTRACEPTIVE STEROIDS
Authors: Thomassen Peter A. 
Published: September 2024

Twenty‐five different bile acids were determined by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry in 24 hour urine specimens before and during treatment with a commercial contraceptive drug. Neither excretion pattern nor individual amounts of bile acids showed any change during treatment of 4 healthy women. One woman with a history of recurrent cholestasis of pregnancy showed a slight increase in the levels of S‐ALAT and total amount of urinary bile acids one day before she stopped taking the pill because of generalized itching. Another patient had a normal pattern of urinary bile acids after one year with a daily intake of 10 mg of estradiol valerate.
A DOUBLE‐BLIND STUDY OF THE VALUE OF TREATMENT WITH A SINGLE DOSE TINIDAZOLE OF PARTNERS TO FEMALES WITH TRICHOMONIASIS
Authors: Lyng Jens , Christensen Jan 
Published: September 2024

Tinidazole 2 g single oral dose was given to 137 females with positive trichomonal cultures. On a random basis the same dose of tinidazole was given to half the sexual partners, and matching placebo to the other half. One to two weeks after treatment 5 females had positive cultures, indicating a primary cure rate of 96.4%. At an average of 2 months after treatment and 6 weeks after resuming sexual activity, 118 females were reexamined; 17 had a positive culture, giving an overall relapse rate of 14.4%. The relapse rate with tinidazole‐treated partner was 5.1%, and with placebo‐treated partner 23.7% (p = 0.01). The definitive cure rate after a single dose of tinidazole 2 g was in females with treated partner 91.8% and with untreated partner 72.6%. It is concluded that a single dose of tinidazole is an effective treatment for females with trichomoniasis but to avoid relapse it is necessary to treat the sexual partner too, cond follow‐up, also with trichomonal culture. At this time they were questioned concerning their sexual activity: the date of first intercourse after treatment and the frequency of intercourse.
Sex‐specific effects of PNPLA3 I148M
Authors: Cherubini Alessandro , Rosso Chiara , Della Torre Sara 
Published: September 2024

AbstractMetabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, previously termed NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is a complex multifactorial disease showing generally higher prevalence and severity in men than in women. With respect to women, men are also more prone to develop metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis, fibrosis and liver‐related complications. Several genetic, hormonal, environmental and lifestyle factors may contribute to sex differences in MASLD development, progression and outcomes. However, after menopause, the sex‐specific prevalence of MASLD shows an opposite trend between men and women, pointing to the relevance of oestrogen signalling in the sexual dimorphism of MASLD. The patatin‐like phospholipase domain‐containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene, that encodes a triacylglycerol lipase that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, has emerged as a key player in the pathogenesis of MASLD, with the I148M variant being strongly associated with increased liver fat content and disease severity. Recent advances indicate that carrying the PNPLA3 I148M variant can be a risk factor for MASLD especially for women. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the sex‐specific role of PNPLA3 I148M in the development of MASLD, several in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models have been developed.
Obesity in Pediatric Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Scoping Review
Authors: Mehta Shanti , Metko Dea , Lam Joseph M. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTThe relationship between HS and obesity, while well established in adult patients, has drawn increased attention in pediatric patients given the rising prevalence of pediatric obesity worldwide. This review aims to consolidate existing evidence of the relationship between HS and obesity in the pediatric population and to hypothesize about reasons for an association between the two conditions. Our cohort comprised 2911 patients with a mean age of 11.4 years at the age of onset of HS, and based on body mass index (BMI), 42.3% of patients were classified as obese (BMI > 30), and 14% were overweight (BMI 25–29.9). Our findings indicate an association between obesity and HS in pediatric patients, which may be explained through numerous mechanisms, including shared genetic factors, hereditary relationships, and the impact of HS on adolescents’ quality of life.

Abstract
Discontinuous hydration and dehydration (HD) cycles refer to controlled imbibition followed by dehydration before seed germination. Here, we investigated whether the level of imbibition before HD cycles affects the physiology of Tabebuia heterophylla seeds and seedlings.
Seeds were imbibed for 10 h (T1; phase I of imbibition) or 35 h (T2; phase II), dehydrated, and progressively rehydrated one to four times (HD cycles). Germination and biochemical parameters (membrane integrity; total soluble, reducing, and nonreducing (NRS) sugars; proteins, amino acids, proline, H2O2, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activity) were quantified at the last rehydration step of each cycle. Biometric and biochemical parameters (including pigments) were analysed in seedlings 60 days after germination.
HD cycles at T1 led to reduced seed germination and greater plasma membrane damage, higher enzyme activity (catalase and glutathione reductase) and accumulation of NRS, total amino acids, and proline compared to the controls and T2 treatment. Cellular damage became more severe with more HD cycles. HD cycles at T2 synchronized germination regardless of the number of cycles and also had a priming effect. T2 seeds had less NRS, total amino acids, and proline content than T1. HD cycles at T1 produced seedlings with higher carotenoid and total chlorophyll content than controls and T2, while seedlings from HD cycles at T2 had higher amounts of osmoprotectants.
HD cycles at T2 benefited seeds and seedlings more than at T1. This suggests that the physiological and biochemical effects of HD cycles in seeds modulate seedling plasticity, depending on water availability, potentially promoting increased tolerance to recurrent droughts that will be intensified with ongoing climate changes.
Mathematical topics in compressible flows from single‐phase systems to two‐phase averaged systems

Published: September 2024

AbstractWe review the modeling and mathematical properties of compressible viscous flows, ranging from single‐phase systems to two‐phase systems, with a focus on the occurrence of oscillations and/or concentrations. We explain how establishing the existence of nonlinear weak stability ensures that no such instabilities occur in the solutions because of the system formulation. When oscillation/concentration are inherent to the nature of the physical situation modeled, we explain how the averaging procedure by homogenization helps to understand their effect on the averaged system. This review addresses systems of progressive complexity. We start by focusing on nonlinear weak stability—a crucial property for numerical simulations and well posedness—in single‐phase viscous systems. We then show how a two‐phase immiscible system may be rewritten as a single‐phase system. Conversely, we show then how to derive a two‐phase averaged system from a two‐phase immiscible system by homogenization. As in many homogenization problems, this is an example where physical oscillation/concentration occur. We then focus on two‐phase averaged viscous systems and present results on the nonlinear weak stability necessary for the convergence of numerical schemes. Finally, we review some singular limits frequently developed to obtain drift–flux systems. Additionally, the appendix provides a crash course on basic functional analysis tools for partial differential equation (PDE) and homogenization (averaging procedures) for readers unfamiliar with them. This review serves as the foundation for two subsequent papers (Part I and Part II in this same volume), which present averaged two‐phase models with phase exchange applicable to magma flow during volcanic eruptions. Part I introduces the physical processes occurring in a volcanic conduit and establishes a two‐phase transient conduit flow model ensuring: (1) mass and volatile species conservation, (2) disequilibrium degassing considering both viscous relaxation and volatile diffusion, and (3) dissipation of total energy. The relaxation limit of this model is then used to obtain a drift–flux system amenable to simplification. Part II revisits the model introduced in Part I and proposes a 1.5D simplification that addresses issues in its numerical implementation. Model outputs are compared to those of another well‐established model under conditions typical of an effusive eruption at an andesitic volcano.

ObjectiveChronic pain in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is common and detrimental to quality of life. Recent Cochrane reviews identified a multitude of randomised controlled trial interventions, but the certainty of the findings is low or very low. We set out to reach a patient and professional co-produced Delphi consensus on treatment priorities, key outcomes and propose a model for understanding our findings.MethodsAn online survey was co-produced with Crohn’s and Colitis UK and sent to patients and healthcare professionals in two phases, for prioritisation of treatments and outcome measures. Phase three consisted of four online group interviews, where patients and healthcare professionals discussed the rationale of their choices. Transcripts were combined with the free text data from the Delphi surveys and analysed through a three-phase qualitative technique.ResultsThe phase 1 survey was completed by 128 participants (73 patients, 3 carers and 53 health professionals). Diet was the top priority for both patients (n=26/73, 36.1%) and healthcare professionals (n=29/52, 56.9%). Phase 2 was completed by 68 participants. FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) diet, stress management therapy and relaxation therapy were the top three consensus priorities. Phase 3 group interviews were attended by 13 patients and 5 healthcare professionals. Key themes included: The patient as an individual, beliefs and experiences, disease activity influencing therapy choice, accessibility barriers and quality of life.ConclusionLow FODMAP diet, followed by psychological therapies were the highest-rated research priorities for healthcare professionals and patients. Funding bodies and researchers should consider these findings, alongside the model for understanding our findings, when making research decisions.
