Dual‐inertia flywheel energy storage system for electric vehicles
Authors: Mehraban Abbas , Ghanbari Teymoor , Farjah Ebrahim 
Published: August 2024

AbstractManaging the high‐rate‐power transients of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in a drive cycle is of great importance from the battery health and drive range aspects. This can be achieved by high power‐density storage, such as a high‐speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). It is shown that a variable‐mass flywheel can effectively utilise the FESS useable capacity in most transients close to optimal. Novel variable capacities FESS is proposed by introducing Dual‐Inertia FESS (DIFESS) for EVs. The feasibility of the proposed concept is evaluated by deriving the size of a Single‐Inertia FESS (SIFESS) for a battery EV, which runs the well‐known Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule. The sizing framework consists of an Energy Management System using the constrained Pontryagin's minimum principle and a proposed sizing algorithm. Then, by splitting the derived SIFESS inertia into two separate inertias, the appropriate engaging control of inertias is determined for some driving cycles including, the Artemis Urban, Braunschweig City, and Worldwide Harmonised Light‐duty Vehicles Test Cycle. The dual inertias suitable sizes are derived using a proposed algorithm, which targets maximising the FESS useable capacity. The results show that compared to the SIFESS, the DIFESS can employ the FESS's useable capacity more effectively.
Higher education and the transition to adulthood: socioeconomic inequality in college students’ self-narratives
Authors: Silver Blake R. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractHow does socioeconomic status relate to the self-narratives youth craft in higher education? This article examines in-depth interviews with 96 students at a broad-access public university to illuminate how narratives of the transition to adulthood are shaped by socioeconomic inequality among youth who enroll in the same postsecondary institution. Although most students across backgrounds agreed that they were “not yet adults,” there were differences in the ways they described their paths to adulthood. Less socioeconomically advantaged students characterized their journeys as stalled, focusing on difficulties obtaining traditional markers of adulthood. These participants struggled to incorporate college experiences into their narratives and engaged in self-deprecation and self-blame. Meanwhile, more socioeconomically advantaged students highlighted personal growth in college to portray themselves as individuals with potential, who were positioned for future success. These findings provide unique insight into higher education’s role in cultural reproduction and have implications for students’ opportunities transitioning to postbaccalaureate life.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Blackstone’s Counter Fraud Professionals’ Handbook is a collection of highly practical, up-to-date chapters covering a range of essential subjects in counter fraud. Developed from a detailed understanding of the modern counter fraud professional’s needs, this series seeks to explain the relevant law, practice, theory, and procedure, with first-hand insights from those involved in the development of the Government Counter Fraud Profession. This includes an overview of the evolving threat from fraud, bribery, and corruption. It sets out how to move to a more preventative and proactive approach to counter fraud via the application of fraud risk assessment, as well as detection and measurement techniques to understand the fraud landscape in which organizations are operating and improving the overall response. This text offers practical straightforward advice to practitioners dealing with fraud and economic crimes. The book covers many disciplines and updates to build awareness and for planning an effective response. This includes essential approaches for effective gathering of intelligence and how to undertake professional and effective investigations, and the fundamental role of leadership in a counter fraud context. These in turn inform the most effective disposal routes including prosecutions, other civil and criminal sanctions, as well stand-alone or parallel redress options. It sets out how this holistic approach can reduce the harm caused and ultimately protect individuals, businesses, and the public sector from the harm and damage that fraud causes.

“The Greatest Young Preacher Ever Lived”
Authors: Alcántara Jared E 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the first decade of Joseph H. Jackson’s pastorate at Olivet Baptist Church, the 1940s, through establishing the necessary context for his ministry: Chicago during the second major wave of the Great Migration. It analyzes the new wave of migration to Chicago (and elsewhere) in the 1940s into the 1950s, an underanalyzed and oft-neglected wave, to explain how Chicago was transformed during this era. After establishing Jackson’s context for ministry, it examines his development as an ambitious leader, a powerful preacher, and an advocate for improved race relations. During this period, Jackson transformed Olivet from a nationally known church to an international phenomenon.
Conclusion
Authors: Alcántara Jared E 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The conclusion considers Jackson’s complex legacy and ongoing significance. It highlights his understanding of power, more specifically, his reputation for being a kingmaker, conviction that Black communities must have power to wield it, commitment to working within the system to bring about change, and unhealthy attachment to maintaining power as a cautionary tale. Jackson’s legacy represents a challenge in that it is a mixed legacy. On the one hand, he was on the wrong side of the civil rights movement and grasped power too tightly. On the other hand, he appears to be forward thinking on economic empowerment, landownership, education, and racial-ethnic power dynamics in churches. He leaves behind a legacy that was both wrong and right, enigmatic and dynamic, infused with vice and virtue.

Abstract
This chapter examines the scope and sequence of a successful music curriculum and successful inclusion strategies for including students with differences and disabilities. Examples at all levels (elementary and secondary) are included (e.g., band, orchestra, choir, and general music). In addition, assessment and data collection strategies are included. The strategies within the curricula study range from formative to summative and demonstrate ways to add size, color, pacing, and modality to lesson and unit planning. For more information on lesson planning, please see Teaching Music to Students with Differences and Disabilities (second edition). The ability to teach students at various places in their learning is demonstrated to show how we can adapt, modify (wind), and meet the needs of every student in our classrooms and ensembles.
Teaching Strategies for Performers with Differences and Disabilities
Authors: Hammel Alice M , Hourigan Ryan M 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The demographics of our performing ensembles are constantly changing. Many school districts have moved toward a policy of full inclusion of students with differences and disabilities. This has led to an increased number of students with differences and disabilities in performing ensembles and has challenged many conductors to find ways to include many students with disabilities who were not previously a part of performing ensembles. The purpose of this chapter is to offer techniques for choral and instrumental conductors who teach performers with differences and disabilities and to suggest ideas for consideration for those who are preparing to conduct performing ensembles. These strategies come from extensive work researching, consulting with ensemble conductors, and working with parents of performers with differences and disabilities.

Abstract
To optimize colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance, accurate information on the risk of developing CRC from premalignant lesions is essential. However, directly observing this risk is challenging since precursor lesions, that is, advanced adenomas (AAs), are removed upon detection. Statistical methods for multistate models can estimate risks, but estimation is challenging due to low CRC incidence. We propose an outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) design for this problem in which we oversample CRCs. More specifically, we propose a 3-state model for jointly estimating the time distributions from baseline colonoscopy to AA and from AA onset to CRC accounting for the ODS design using a weighted likelihood approach. We applied the methodology to a sample from a Norwegian adenoma cohort (1993-2007), comprising 1495 individuals (median follow-up $6.8$ years; IQR, 1.1-12.8) of whom 648 did and 847 did not develop CRC. We observed a 5-year AA risk of 13% and 34% for individuals having nonadvanced adenoma (NAA) and AA removed at baseline colonoscopy, respectively. Upon AA development, the subsequent risk to develop CRC in 5 years was 17% and age-dependent. These estimates provide a basis for optimizing surveillance intensity and determining the optimal trade-off between CRC prevention, costs, and use of colonoscopy resources.
Update: Prevention and Treatment of Parotid/Submandibular Gland Fistula/Sialocele Following Rhytidectomy With Botulinum Toxin A
Authors: Santos Pauline Joy F , McGill Michelle A , Kerendi Alex N , Nahai Foad 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Dissecting deep to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), a popular option for facelifts, has the potential for injury to the parotid gland leading to postoperative sialoceles and fistulas. Similarly, deep plane procedures in the neck that include partial submandibular gland resection may lead to salivary gland leaks. We previously described the management of sialocele following rhytidectomy. Since then, administration of botulinum toxin A has emerged as the primary treatment and prevention of this rare complication. The technique of administration and dosage of botulinum toxin in the treatment algorithm is not well defined. We present a literature review and our current protocol for the most efficacious injection technique and dosing to prevent and treat injury to the parotid and submandibular glands.
Brain-penetrant complement inhibition mitigates neurodegeneration in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Complement activation is implicated in driving brain inflammation, self-cell damage and progression of injury in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we investigate the impact of brain delivery of a complement-blocking antibody on neurodegeneration in an Alzheimer’s mouse model. We engineered a brain-penetrant recombinant antibody targeting the pro-inflammatory membrane attack complex.
Systemic administration of this antibody in APPNL-G-F mice reduced brain levels of complement activation products, demonstrating successful brain entry and target engagement. Prolonged treatment decreased synapse loss, amyloid burden and brain inflammatory cytokine levels, concomitant with cognitive improvement compared to controls. These results underscore the potential of brain-penetrant complement-inhibiting drugs as promising therapeutics, targeting downstream of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease.
“How do I put this gently?”: articulating the link between racial selectivity in the sexual market and neighborhood selection in the residential market of a global city
Authors: Boston Nicholas 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The global city is acted upon by a myriad of forces—commercial, cultural, diasporic, digital, identitarian, and political to name a few—on local, national, and transnational scales that produce steadily morphing patterns and concentrations of LGBTQ+ residential settlement in and across neighborhoods. Research has sought to unpack the push–pull factors and adhesive elements that exert influence on such residential configurations. This forum piece ventures to articulate empirically one such pattern that has not been approached in the literature, but has, as the title portends, been addressed in anecdote gently (read: cautiously) for some time: the link between an individual’s stated racial preference in sexual-partner choice and that individual’s selection of a neighborhood to live in that has a high percentage of residents of the preferred race.
Elevation of serum carcinoembryonic antigen as a possible predictor of response to pulse methylprednisolone in acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis
Authors: Sakiyama Tomoki , Endo Yuichiro , Nakamizo Satoshi , Kabashima Kenji 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) is a rare disorder primarily observed in Asian populations, particularly in Japan. Although pulse methylprednisolone therapy is an effective treatment for AIGA, predictors of therapeutic response remain poorly defined.

Objectives
To identify factors that predict the efficacy of pulse methylprednisolone therapy in patients with AIGA.

Methods
Data obtained from 32 patients with AIGA were assessed based on clinical, histopathological and serological examinations. Statistical analyses were conducted to explore predictors of response to pulse methylprednisolone therapy.

Results
The average age of participants was 32.1 years (SD 12.3); 66% were male and 34% female. The response to pulse methylprednisolone therapy was closely associated with the time from the onset to start of therapy (Wilcoxson’s rank sum test, P = 0.02, n = 27), with earlier intervention resulting in a better outcome. Notably, male patients and patients presenting with severe symptoms at diagnosis responded better to treatment. High serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and histological evidence of inflammation around sweat glands also correlated with a positive therapeutic response.

Conclusions
Earlier intervention, elevated serum CEA levels and inflammation around sweat glands are potential indicators of a successful response to pulse methylprednisolone therapy in patients with AIGA.
Cytomegalovirus complications in drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms: importance of routine monitoring and early therapeutic intervention
Authors: Takei Shingo , Hayashi Ryota , Hama Natsumi , Abe Riichiro 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Fatal outcomes in drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) are reported to be associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation. However, CMV reactivation is observed not only in DIHS/DRESS but also in other diseases when high doses of corticosteroids are administered. Currently, it is difficult to distinguish whether CMV reactivation in DIHS/DRESS is caused by steroid-induced immunosuppression or the pathology of DIHS/DRESS. In this study, we describe the characteristic of CMV reactivation in patients with DIHS/DRESS (n = 22) by comparing the frequency of reactivation and its complications with those that occur in people with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) (n = 21) treated with high doses of corticosteroids. The frequency of CMV reactivation showed no difference between the DIHS/DRESS and PV groups. On the other hand, the frequency of CMV complications was higher in the DIHS than the PV group. Our data show the importance of monitoring for CMV complications, although CMV reactivation is not a unique consequence of DIHS/DRESS compared with other diseases treated with a high dose of corticosteroids.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
A common tool to measure olfactory function is the Sniffin’ Sticks Test extended version (SSET). The SSET evaluates olfactory ability by summing the scores of three subtests: Threshold, Discrimination, and Identification. Recent meta-scientific literature revealed that many psychometric instruments currently in use have not been adequately validated, leading to a measurement crisis that raises concerns about the validity of the conclusions drawn with these instruments. Two examples of the measurement crisis are (i) the use of sum scores without testing their assumptions (e.g. unidimensionality and tau-equivalence), which indicate that all subtests have the same, stable relationship with their underlying construct, and (ii) the lack of assessment of measurement invariance across groups. Here, we aim to investigate the unidimensionality and tau-equivalence assumptions, internal consistency, and measurement invariance of sex and age groups of the SSET. We tested 988 (555 females, mean ± SD: 39.75 ± 18.60 years) participants with the Italian version of the SSET. The tau-equivalent model demonstrated excellent fit indices (CFI robust = 1, TLI robust = 1, RMSEA robust = 0, SRMR = 0.013), which best explain the data, indicating that all subtests are equally important in measuring olfactory function, but not necessarily equally precise. The results also revealed full measurement invariance across age groups and configural, partial metric, and scalar invariance across sexes, indicating that the use of latent means to compare sex groups should be chosen over raw scores. However, the SSET demonstrated moderate internal consistency. Future studies should clarify whether the reliability of the SSET can be increased.
