Authors: Asante Shadrack , Sarpong David , Aidoo Eunice , Ogunsade Adekunle Isaac 
Published: October 2024

AbstractCompeting for and winning business excellence awards (BEAs) is essential for firms' long‐term performance. However, the role of these BEAs in inspiring good and generating sustainable business practices has often been overlooked. In this article, we draw on the legitimacy‐seeking theory to explore the “socially good” transformations firms go through by competing for BEAs. Data for the inquiry come from semi‐structured interviews with managers whose firms competed in two BEAs in the United Kingdom. Providing insight into BEAs as a competitive legitimating frame in organizing, our findings shed light on how BEAs may serve as competitive crucibles that provide opportunities for feedback and learning, potentiality for brand positioning, and a possibility for stimulating excellence in the adoption of good business practices. The implications of these findings for the theory and practice of advancing the “common good” are outlined.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBACKGROUNDThis study explores enzymatic hydrolysis as a method of modifying soybean meal (SM). It can reduce the particle size, improve flavor, and convert macromolecules into absorbable nutrients. The purpose is to provide technical information regarding the use of SM. Papain alone, and a combination of papain and acid protease, and a mixture of papain, acid protease, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum were employed for the enzymatic hydrolysis of SM.RESULTSSensory evaluation and nutritional and flavor analyses were performed with yogurt produced after SM enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis improved yogurt quality significantly in comparison with non‐enzymatically hydrolyzed soybean meal yogurt (SMY) by accelerating the decrease in pH and shortening the duration of fermentation. Enzymatic hydrolysis also reduced beany flavors and bitterness and enhanced the aromatic compound, flavor‐related amino acid, and organic acid content, rendering the yogurt more appealing to consumers. Microstructural analysis revealed favorable characteristics that textural and rheological properties of the yogurt produced after enzymatically hydrolyzed SM were improved.CONCLUSIONIn this study, the biotechnological approach was used to demonstrate the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis in improving the quality and value of SM, promoting the efficient application of SM in the food industry. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractFerulic acid ((E)‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy‐phenyl) prop‐2‐enoic acid) is a derivative of caffeic acid found in most plants. This abundant phenolic compound exhibits significant antioxidant capacity and a broad spectrum of therapeutic effects, including anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, cardiovascular and neuroprotective activities. It is absorbed more quickly by the body and stays in the bloodstream for a longer period compared with other phenolic acids. It is widely used in the food (namely whole grains, fruits, vegetables and coffee), pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The current review highlights ferulic acid and its pharmacological activities, reported mechanisms of action, food applications (food preservative, food additive, food processing, food supplements and in food packaging in the form of edible films) and role in human health. In the future, the demand for ferulic acid in the food and pharmaceutical industries will increase. © 2024 The Author(s).

Published: October 2024

AbstractBACKGROUNDNannochloropsis algae contain approximately 20% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and hold significant potential for high‐quality eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) food industrialization. However, EPA in Nannochloropsis sp. is prone to oxidation, and microbial growth is a critical factor affecting the shelf life of fresh food. Storage composition and temperature are primary factors influencing microbial growth, yet these aspects are not fully understood. This study investigates the effects of temperature and encapsulation on EPA content in nano‐products over time. Nano‐powder and nanobeads derived from Nannochloropsis sp. served as raw materials. Additionally, changes in aerobic plate counts and coliform groups were monitored.RESULTSThe results indicated that nanobeads, due to their more complex processing and less mature packaging, were more susceptible to coliform contamination compared to nano‐powder. In terms of EPA stability, nanobeads exhibited a longer storage life than nano‐powder. The oxidation rate of both nano‐powder and nanobeads was faster at 37 °C than at 25 °C.CONCLUSIONThese findings can inform general shelf life estimation, rapid detection of total lipid content in nano‐products and macro extraction of nano‐oil. Moreover, they have significant implications for delaying EPA oxidation in nano‐products and improving hygienic quality control for microbial detection. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract

National Parks (NPs) and other protected areas in sub‐Saharan Africa are crucial in attracting international tourists interested in wildlife tourism, contributing to national economies. Despite their cultural, economic, and conservation significance, these areas face diverse development threats, leading to pressures for protected area downgrading, downsizing, or degazettement (known as PADDD).

We comprehensively analyse the geographical, historical, and structural aspects of 322 NPs in sub‐Saharan Africa and assess their political vulnerability by exploring the interplay of development pressures and public interest (as measured through Wikipedia page views).

Fewer than 30% of these NPs possess or report information regarding management plans, even among the five most frequently viewed areas on Wikipedia. This is particularly concerning, since among those who underwent a PADDD event (51 NPs), almost 90% of them also had no information about the existence of management plans.

Although we did not identify a statistically significant association between tourism and public interest online, tourism emerges as a potential mitigating factor against PADDD, along with high levels of peace.

NPs that garner significant public interest online do not share the same socio‐geographic profile as parks that are most resilient to PADDD events. While digital metrics of public interest have potential as indicators of political resilience in NP, our research has shown that these metrics need refinement to fully understand which biophysical and cultural aspects of parks attract more public attention. Overall, effective conservation strategies in sub‐Saharan Africa require a more holistic understanding of historical, socio‐economic, and cultural factors.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAbrasion and tribological properties of tread rubber play a crucial role in governing the service life of aviation tires and the safety of aircrafts. Polyisoprene (IR) with the same chemical structure as natural rubber shows great potential for application in aviation tires. Herein, the abrasion and tribological behaviors of IR based composites under sliding‐rolling conditions were investigated in relation to the carbon black (CB N234) content, sliding‐rolling ratio, ambient temperature, and counterparts in order to provide guidance for the development of high‐performance aviation tire treads. Moreover, the relationship between wear performances and physical–mechanical properties was discussed to establish a prediction model. The results revealed that physical and mechanical properties affected wear performances in a synergetic manner, which could be described as a negative linear correlation of the folding wear with the product of hardness and rebound resilience (H4R) and the ratio between rebound resilience and tensile strength ((1‐R)/σ) even at elevated temperature and sliding‐rolling ratio regardless of the counterpart. The increase in CB N234 content and sliding‐rolling (s‐r) ratio resulted in a transition of the wear mechanism from folding to abrasion due to the formation of soft rubber particles with a certain fluidity and a lubricating transfer film that was located at the friction interface and was generated by the thermal‐mechanical degradation of the IR matrix when it was rubbed against steel counterparts, which marred the aforementioned negative linear relationship.Highlights
The increase in temperature improved the abrasion resistance of tire treads.
The folding wear was negatively and linearly related to H4R and (1‐R)/σ.
Increasing CB N234 content and s‐r ratio made a transition of wear mechanism.

AbstractThe main purpose of this study was to assess female students' perception of access and utilization of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management in HEIs. A qualitative research design was embraced, and it was exploratory while gathering responses from the participating respondents using semi‐structured interviews, focus group discussions and observation from course coordinators from six faculties, students guild leadership, and selected university managers who were purposively selected and regarded to be more knowledgeable with university affairs as far as learners' social welfare was concerned. The study found that many students did not have adequate access to water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management. They also lack adequate menstrual hygiene management education and their rights to sanitation and water facilities for menstruation management in terms of the menstrual cycle, the importance of washing body parts, and the issue of stigma during the menstruation period. The study recommended that the Directorate of Gender at the university should review and work very closely with the Department of Estates and Works to improve the maintenance and provision of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management.

Published: October 2024

AbstractHemin is an important iron‐containing porphyrin that has important therapeutic properties to control the symptoms of porphyria attacks that include pain, high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, mental changes, and so forth. Lysozyme has many applications, which include from therapeutic to preservation of foods. The interaction of hemin with an important model protein, hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL), has been observed in this study through hybrid in silico with biophysical studies. There was a strong 1:1 cooperative binding between hemin and HEWL, which was revealed from the strong quenching of the latter by the former. The binding was favored by the decrease in temperature, which is due to the involvement of static type of quenching mechanism in the interaction. Experimental analyses suggested that the major forces involved in the binding were polar ones, and there was an efficient energy transfer from the fluorophore to the ligand. The combination of far‐UV CD spectroscopy and Rayleigh light scattering experiments established that hemin has the strong tendency to unfold HEWL. An extensive molecular docking investigation involving 2000 docking runs recognized the preferred binding site of hemin within HEWL, and also suggested that apart from the polar forces, hydrophobic interactions have also played an important role in the binding.

AbstractIn this research, we investigate mixed convection transport of mass and heat transfer in the unsteady boundary layer flow of the Eyring‐Powell fluid around a rotating cone in the presence of Brownian and thermophoresis effects. Rotating cones are widely used in conical diffusers, medical devices, Aerospace Engineering and a variety of rheometric and viscosimetry applications. Specifically, we focus on the flow of the Eyring‐Powell fluid around the cone in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and nanofluid. The modeled momentum, energy, and concentration equations of the problem are transformed into nonlinear dimensionless, nonlinear ordinary equations by utilizing the similarity variables. These nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically via Bvp4c, and the outcomes for important physical parameters on momentum, energy, and concentration equations are presented graphically. The computational outcomes of physical parameters for skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood are also presented in tabular form.

Published: October 2024

AbstractWe recommend improving rural quality of life by combining public transport with demand responsive transport systems. To achieve this policy recommendation, we propose the following: (1) Promote the creation of demand responsive transport (DRT) systems that fit well into the region’s or nation’s larger transport strategy and system, are cost effective and sustainable in the long run; (2) Identify and clarify the societal goals that DRT operations are intended to support. Subsidising DRT operations cannot be justified just for their own sake; (3) Define the intended demand intensity to be served with this transport service explicitly; (4) Integrate DRT services with complementary incentive mechanisms that preserve the benefits of the spatial concentration of the population and workplaces; (5) Ensure a reasonable level of long-term public funding for DRT systems right from the planning phase; and (6) Reduce the barriers of entry to the DRT market and develop a service model, enabling the utilisation of excess transport capacity that local SMEs and public institutions as minibus owners may have.

AbstractWe recommend enabling inclusive urban transport planning through civic artificial intelligence. To achieve this policy recommendation, we propose the following: (1) Encourage and provide resources for experimentation with new technologies that enable local community participation in urban transport planning; (2) Recognize the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist in complex urban transport planning decisions; (3) Acknowledge that AI is embedded in society, instead of treating it as a neutral technology; and (4) Foster community engagement in transport planning and evaluation, via a Civic AI framework that directly integrates preferences and feedback into planning.

Published: October 2024

AbstractHyperspectral imaging (HSI) is emerging as a promising novel imaging modality with various potential surgical applications. Currently available cameras, however, suffer from poor integration into the clinical workflow because they require the lights to be switched off, or the camera to be manually recalibrated as soon as lighting conditions change. Given this critical bottleneck, the contribution of this paper is threefold: (1) We demonstrate that dynamically changing lighting conditions in the operating room dramatically affect the performance of HSI applications, namely physiological parameter estimation, and surgical scene segmentation. (2) We propose a novel learning-based approach to automatically recalibrating hyperspectral images during surgery and show that it is sufficiently accurate to replace the tedious process of white reference-based recalibration. (3) Based on a total of 742 HSI cubes from a phantom, porcine models, and rats we show that our recalibration method not only outperforms previously proposed methods, but also generalizes across species, lighting conditions, and image processing tasks. Due to its simple workflow integration as well as high accuracy, speed, and generalization capabilities, our method could evolve as a central component in clinical surgical HSI.
Short baseline neutrino anomalies at stopped pion experiments

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Stopped-pion experiments that measure coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) are sensitive to sterile neutrinos via disappearance. Using timing and energy spectra to perform flavor decomposition, we show that the delayed electron neutrino component provides an independent test of short-baseline anomalies that hint at ~ eV-mass sterile neutrinos. Dedicated experiments will be sensitive to nearly the entire sterile neutrino parameter space consistent with short-baseline data.
Prähospitale Bluttransfusion
Authors: Schwietring Jens , Wähnert Dirk , Scholl Lucas Sebastian , Thies Karl-Christian 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Blutverlust ist die Hauptursache potenziell vermeidbarer Todesfälle bei schweren Verletzungen. Behandlungsprioritäten sind die sofortige Kontrolle der Blutung und die Transfusion von Blutprodukten zur Aufrechterhaltung des Sauerstofftransports und zur Therapie der traumainduzierten Koagulopathie. Während die prähospitale Transfusion von Blutprodukten (PHBT) in unseren Nachbarländern etabliert ist, hat die fragmentierte Struktur der Rettungsdienste die Einführung von PHBT-Programmen in Deutschland verzögert. Unsere Arbeit bietet eine aktuelle Perspektive auf die Entwicklung, internationale Praktiken und den Forschungsbedarf zur Anwendung von PHBT im deutschen Kontext.

Methodik
Diese narrative Übersicht basiert auf einer PubMed-Suche mit den Schlüsselwörtern „prehospital“ und „blood*“. Von 4738 gefundenen Artikeln bezogen sich 333 auf PHBT und wurden einer weiteren detaillierten Sichtung unterzogen. Die Literatur, einschließlich zitierter Studien, wurde in Bereiche wie Geschichte, Rationale, internationale Praktiken und Evidenz kategorisiert und entsprechend ihrer Qualität in die Auswertung einbezogen.

Ergebnisse
Der Nutzen der frühzeitigen Bluttransfusion bei schwerem Trauma ist seit dem Ersten Weltkrieg belegt, was die Bestrebungen erklärt, diese lebensrettende Maßnahme schon im prähospitalen Bereich einzuleiten. Neuere randomisierte Studien, die aufgrund der komplexen Fragestellung mit Design- und Rekrutierungsproblemen kämpften, haben widersprüchliche Ergebnisse hinsichtlich des Überlebensvorteils im zivilen Bereich geliefert. Die Lehren aus diesen Arbeiten lassen bezweifeln, ob randomisierte Studien tatsächlich in der Lage sind, Fragen zum Überlebensvorteil zu klären. Trotz der genannten Schwierigkeiten gibt es einen erkennbaren Trend, der bei transfundierten Patienten auf Verbesserungen des Outcome hindeutet. In Deutschland beträgt die Inzidenz des traumaassoziierten Schocks 38/100.000 Einwohner pro Jahr. Geschätzt wird, dass zwischen 300 und 1800 Patienten jährlich von PHBT profitieren könnten.

Schlussfolgerungen
Die prähospitale Gabe von Blutprodukten erscheint vielversprechend, doch bleibt offen, welche Patientengruppen davon profitieren und welche Blutprodukte am besten geeignet sind. In Deutschland sind PHBT-Programme noch nicht weit verbreitet. Paradoxerweise bietet diese Situation, zusammen mit dem umfangreichen Trauma Register der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie, eine hervorragende Ausgangssituation für umfassende prospektive Kohortenstudien, um Patienten-Outcome, Logistik und Implementierungsstrategien zu untersuchen. Solche Studien könnten helfen, evidenzbasierte PHBT-Richtlinien auszuarbeiten und in deutsche Traumaversorgungsprotokolle zu integrieren.
