Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to validate the concordance of visual ratings of [18F] flutemetamol amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) images and to investigate the correlation between the agreement of each rater and the Centiloid (CL) scale.

Methods
A total of 192 participants, clinically classified as cognitively normal (CN) (n = 59), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (n = 65), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (n = 55), or non-AD dementia (n = 13), participated in this study. Three experts conducted visual ratings of the amyloid PET images for all 192 patients, assigning a confidence level to each rating on a three-point scale (certain, probable, or neither). The positive or negative determination of amyloid PET results was made by majority vote. The CL value was calculated using the CapAIBL pipeline.

Results
Overall, 101 images were determined to be positive, and 91 images were negative. Of the 101 positive images, the three raters were in complete agreement for 92 images and in disagreement for 9 images. Of the 91 negative images, the three raters were in complete agreement for 75 images and in disagreement for 16 images. Interrater reliability among the three experts was particularly high, with both Fleiss’ kappa and Conger’s kappa measuring 0.83 (0.76–0.89). The CL values of the unanimous positive group were significantly greater than those of the other groups, whereas the CL values of the unanimous negative group were significantly lower than those of the other groups. Images with rater disagreement had intermediate CLs. In cases with a high confidence level, the positive or negative visual ratings were in almost complete agreement. However, as confidence levels decreased, experts’ visual ratings became more variable. The lower the confidence level was, the greater the number of cases with disagreement in the visual ratings.

Conclusion
Three experts independently rated 192 amyloid PET images, achieving a high level of interrater agreement. However, in patients with intermediate amyloid accumulation, visual ratings varied. Therefore, determining positive and negative decisions in these patients should be performed with caution.

Authors: Steverink Nardi 
Published: September 2024

SamenvattingHet concept Positieve Gezondheid (PG) wordt breed omarmd en toegepast in het Nederlandse gezondheidsveld, maar de conceptualisering en het meetbaar maken van PG blijken nog om verfijning te vragen. Dit essay wil bijdragen aan meer conceptuele helderheid over PG en daarmee aan een meer solide basis voor de ontwikkeling van meetinstrumenten, interventies en beleid. Door de dimensies en aspecten van PG naast die van de Zelf-Management-van-Welbevinden-theorie te leggen, ontstaat mogelijk een nieuw perspectief op de conceptualisering van PG, met implicaties voor het ontwerpen van meetinstrumenten, interventies en beleid.
User's Dilemma: A Qualitative Study on the Influence of Netflix Recommender Systems on Choice Overload
Authors: Romero Meza Laura , D’Urso Giulio 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn the digital era, where choices saturate daily life, the phenomenon of choice overload becomes a significant concern in consumer behavior and psychology. Recommender systems, exemplified by Netflix's sophisticated model, play a transformative role in navigating the vast landscape of digital entertainment. This qualitative study examines the impact of recommender systems on choice overload through 12 semi-structured interviews with Netflix users, revealing the intricate dynamics between personalization algorithms and user decision-making processes. The study is guided by the following research questions: (1) How does the Netflix recommendation system influence users' experiences of choice overload and ease of decision-making? (2) To what extent do users perceive Netflix's recommended content as appealing and diverse, and how reliant are they on these recommendations for content selection? (3) How do user interactions with Netflix's recommendation system, including user feedback, impact variables such as search time, choice effort, and choice satisfaction? The findings reveal a notable absence of explicit user feedback and the presence of choice overload in Netflix users. This is evident in prolonged search times, heightened choice effort, and moderate satisfaction levels, coupled with perceptions of unattractiveness and limited diversity in the recommended content. Negative emotional responses during content selection further underscore the challenges users face on the platform. Paradoxically, this gives rise to a potential “user's dilemma,” as the study exposes a high reliance and trust in recommendation lists. However, this reliance also results in users frequently experiencing frustration and disappointment when recommendations fail to meet expectations. The study provides valuable insights into the nuanced interactions between users and the Netflix platform and offers a foundational framework for ongoing refinement of recommender systems in the ever-evolving landscape of streaming services and emphasizes the need for recommendation lists to strike a delicate balance between effective guidance and user exploration.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe short-term oriented coaching method known as wingwave® (Besser-Siegmund Institute, Hamburg, Germany) has demonstrated efficacy in boosting individuals’ confidence related to future tasks, enhancing overall performance in sports motor tasks, and improving concentration abilities. Its procedure incorporates elements of eye movement and desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and adds a muscular strength test to reduce stress and anxiety for the athletes. In this study, amateurs and experts were observed performing a basketball-specific task. In two sets of 30 free throws, with a 1 h break between sets, 44 participants (aged 16–32), consisting of 22 experts and 22 novices in basketball, were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group received one coaching session using the wingwave® method during the break. During coaching, specific emotional obstacles or blockades were identified and addressed using the wingwave® method by six qualified coaches. The findings reveal a statistically significant increase in accuracy, F(1.40) = 4.74, p = 0.036, η2 = 0.106, Wilk’s Λ = 0.894, in free throws as well as a notable boost in task-specific confidence (i.e., subjective perception; F(1.40) = 4.21, p = 0.047, η2 = 0.095, Wilk’s Λ = 0.905) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Based on these findings, it can be deduced that the wingwave® method holds promise as a valuable tool for mitigating stress and anxiety, while bolstering self-assurance and fostering confidence in one’s own capabilities within a defined sporting context.

Published: September 2024

AbstractEffective Asset Management (AM) is essential to achieve operational excellence in the context of large complex Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). It involves coordinated activities across all life-cycle stages, including information and service exchange within and between adjacent air operations domains, for effective air operations and collaboration. For enterprises and military air operations, AM presuppose information and service exchange between the adjacent domains of air operations. Important aspects of aviation AM are that CPSs include Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM), CPS models, and Digital Twin (DT), as central concepts used to predict and optimize asset performance. This article provides an overview of the aviation AM phenomenology, environment, and challenges, and how they may impact envisioned realisations of effective AM solutions for support to enterprise air vehicle operations. The article serves as an extension of the paper Cyber-physical Asset Management of Air Vehicle Systems presented at the International Congress and Workshop of Industrial AI and Maintenance (Candell et al., in Proceedings of the IAI2023–7th international congress and workshop on industrial AI and eMaintenance, Luleå, Sweden, 2023). A comprehensive approach is presented, comprising interdependent dimensions of the problem domain, and how they may be integrated into a framework and a platform concept addressing aviation AM needs.
La sindrome da insensibilità agli androgeni: gestione e outcomes a lungo termine
Authors: Mangone Alessandra , Profka Eriselda 
Published: September 2024

SommarioLa sindrome da insensibilità agli androgeni è causata da una mutazione recettoriale che risulta in un variabile grado di resistenza all’azione androgenica. Lo spettro clinico di questa condizione è particolarmente variegato e spazia dalla forma completa, dove l’azione degli androgeni è completamente assente in vivo, a diversi stadi di insensibilità parziale che determinano vari gradi di ambiguità genitale esterna. Infine, sono descritte forme caratterizzate unicamente da infertilità o ridotta virilizzazione. La cura dei pazienti con insensibilità androgenica è complessa e necessita di un approccio integrato e multidisciplinare. I punti più critici riguardano l’attribuzione del sesso nelle forme ambigue e la decisione e il timing adeguato sull’eventuale gonadectomia, in considerazione del potenziale rischio di sviluppo tumorale gonadico. Infine, non va dimenticata l’importanza degli aspetti psicologici e della sessualità, nonché il monitoraggio delle possibili complicanze sistemiche, in particolare scheletriche, della sindrome.

Authors: Ashfaq Awais , Faateh Muhammad , Shahanavaz Shabana 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose of the Review
Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients are increasing. Valve replacements are one of the most common procedures performed in these subset of patients, especially pulmonary valve replacement. The purpose of the review is to discuss the indications, pre-procedure planning, spectrum of surgical and percutaneous valve replacement options, choice of prosthetic valves and post procedure management in ACHD.

Recent Findings
The choice of prosthesis for pulmonary valve replacement is an ever-evolving process. Various options exist and none have proven to be the standard of care. We discuss different valve prosthesis and their indications.

Summary
Pulmonary valve replacements in ACHD patients continue to increase. Bioprosthetic valves are the most common replacement options, however newer valves with novel technologies are on the horizon. Transcatheter valve replacement has proven to be the preferred approach wherever feasible.
Ensemble Learning-Based Fuzzy Aggregation Functions and Their Application in TSK Neural Networks
Authors: Wang Tao , Gault Richard , Greer Desmond 
Published: September 2024

AbstractTakagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy neural networks (TSKFNN) are powerful tools to model vague or imprecise information. Regression is one of the most important tasks commonly tackled by supervised learning techniques. TSKFNNs are considered suitable models to deal with regression problems on account of their simplicity and flexibility. Aggregation methods play an important role in combining various fuzzy rules from a TSKFNN rule base to obtain a model prediction. However, many current aggregation methods rely on expert experience and human knowledge, which may be hard to acquire and could bring human bias. This paper proposes data-driven aggregation functions for rules aggregation based on ensemble learning, namely AdaBoost and bagging, which can achieve superior generalizability in testing compared with the existing rule aggregation methods. Furthermore, they can also provide insights into the importance of each rule in the model’s decision making, thus, helping to improve the interpretability of the model. Extensive experiments on 11 commonly used benchmark datasets with various sizes and dimensionalities validated the superiority of the proposed ensemble learning-based fuzzy aggregation functions compared with existing state-of-the-art TSKFNNs.
Unravelling the European food security puzzle: exploring determinants and constructing a comprehensive measure
Authors: Palkovič Jozef 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe main objective of the presented paper is to show the current level of food security conditions in Europe and identify its determinants. The paper presents the development of the food security situation in Europe in the period 2001–2020. It shows in detail conditions in the year 2020 which were influenced by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the continent. The analysis used the definition of food security and its pillars according to FAO. It used available data from FAOstat for 12 variables in 4 pillars of food security from 2001 to 2020 for 38 European countries to produce composite indicators using Data envelopment analysis. This was used as the dependent variable in panel models with five explanatory factors: added value in agriculture, fishing and forestry, trade openness, gross capital formation, urbanization, and temperature change obtained from the World Bank database. Relationship between variables was estimated using Fixed effects, Random effects, and Pooled mean group model. The analysis found that food security in Europe increased until 2014, then followed a decline which was not compensated until 2020. The weakest regions were identified in the South-eastern and Eastern parts of Europe. The most key factors in the long run were the gross capital formation, added value of agriculture and trade openness. The impact of urbanization and gross capital formation was more important in the short run than in the long run. The effect of temperature change was positive in the short run in most of the analyzed countries, despite its negative long-run influence. The added value of the presented paper in the theoretical field is its methodology, from a practical point of view the paper offers information which could be used in further addressing food security problem solutions.
Glass serviceability limits: new evidence from human-centred studies

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe performance of the building envelope is crucial for minimizing operational carbon emissions of buildings and maintaining indoor comfort. Contemporary building envelopes, such as engineered glazed façades, achieve high performance levels but often add a significant amount of embodied carbon. There is therefore an incentive to reduce the thickness of the glass panels, but the minimum thickness possible is often not governed by strength or manufacturing limits but rather by the deflection (serviceability) limits. Despite objective criteria guiding serviceability limits, user acceptance of deformation remains unexplored, leading to conservative designs. This paper introduces a novel method for measuring user satisfaction with glass deformations, aiming to establish acceptance thresholds comparable to objective criteria. The study involves a novel experimental campaign to assess volunteers' levels of perception and acceptance of various glass deformations. The glass was deformed using a bespoke electro-pneumatic system at levels corresponding to below, above, and at the current serviceability limit. The results demonstrate the feasibility of measuring human responses to deformations in the glazing and provide essential data for setting serviceability limits. The experiments and corresponding user satisfaction feedback indicate that the current serviceability limit of L/50, may be relaxed, thereby presenting opportunities for material efficiency, such as the adoption of thinner glass in facades. The methodology effectively captures human responses, revealing that changes in reflection were the primary reason for the perception of movement; leading to a higher perception of glazing movement and a lower acceptance at night. Overall, participants felt safe regardless of their prior knowledge on glass properties, and providing this information to participants did not improve acceptance, which was already sufficiently high. The findings from this research fill an important knowledge gap in understanding user acceptance of glass deformations, crucial for comprehensive user satisfaction assessments and evidence-based reductions in glazing thickness.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Ewing’s sarcoma during pregnancy is a rare tumor that poses significant challenges in terms of early diagnosis and proper management. The early symptoms are often nonspecific. Management requires a tailored approach that considers multiple factors.

Methods
PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library and EMBASE were screened from the first record appearing up to January 2023, through Mesh Items which were related both to pregnancy and Ewing’s sarcoma. Reviewers extracted data, in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) Statement.

Results
Fifteen papers with 15 pregnant women were included. Eleven patients were young nulliparous. The mean gestational age at diagnosis was 26 weeks. The primary sites of tumor involvement were bone, kidney and uterine cervix. One patient underwent external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) during pregnancy. Four patients received prepartum chemotherapy (CT), resulting in healthy deliveries, except for one case of fetal death. Cesarean sections were the primary delivery method in 50% of cases, but vaginal delivery was possible in three patients (25%). Maternal mortality analysis revealed that 4 over 13 patients (30.8%) died during postpartum follow-up (FU). One patient experienced recurrence (7.7%), and eight showed no evidence of disease (61.5%). Fetal survival was 72.7%. One study reported intrauterine fetal death (9.1% of fetal mortality), whereas two patients performed induced abortion (18.2%).

Conclusion
The limited available data indicate that the prognosis for Ewing’s sarcoma during pregnancy is poor, with high maternal mortality. Further research is needed to understand the complex interactions between pregnancy and Ewing’s sarcoma.
Using Positive Psychology to Uplift Minority Youth: The Importance of Sound Conceptualization and Contextualization
Authors: Balkaya-Ince Merve , Tahseen Madiha , Schnitker Sarah A. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAs addressed in the critiques related to theory, measurement, and contextualization identified in Van Zyl et al.’s (J Posit Psychol 1–30, 2023) systematic review, positive psychology has failed to robustly conceptualize and assess the contextually nuanced character and virtue development of non-WEIRD samples, particularly ethnic-racial and religious minority youth, such as Muslim American adolescents. The purpose of this commentary was to provide a conceptually sound and contextualized approach to studying virtue development that uplifts minority youth’s lived experiences and does not undermine their development. We presented potential solutions for criticisms of positive psychology related to theoretical underpinnings, measurement, and decontextualized approach and illustrated the utility of these solutions with concrete examples within the context of Muslim American adolescents as an example of a non-WEIRD population. The paper concluded with recommendations for how these strategies could be similarly applied to uplift other ethnic-racial and religious minority youth populations.
Country on the Move: Comparing the Impacts of Service Provision During the Waves of Displacement Before and After Full-Scale Aggression Against Ukraine

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe ongoing war in Ukraine demands a comprehensive and holistic state-level and social work response. This should address the psychosocial, economic, relational, and family reintegration aspects of the crisis and the needs and human rights of those affected by war-related displacement and migration. While the current global media has primarily focused on refugees leaving Ukraine, the severity of the impact of this conflict on those displaced within the Ukrainian nation’s borders has been largely overlooked. This study explores Ukrainian responses to internally displaced people during the first and second waves of war-induced displacement and internal migration in Ukraine, which took place after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and after the full-scale invasion of 2022. It also critically examines the UK’s response to Ukrainian refugees arriving in the UK. Analysis of a review of the existing literature reveals significant differences in Ukraine’s support provision for internally displaced people (IDPs) during each wave, as well as key strengths and limitations in UK support for externally displaced Ukrainian refugees (EDPs). During the first wave, the Ukrainian state failed to fully address the needs of IDPs and protect their human rights. Although Ukrainian support for internally displaced persons has improved with the second wave, significant limitations in the provision of support remain alongside weaknesses in the UK provision of support for externally displaced Ukrainian refugees. The article concludes that incorporation of the lessons learned from the experiences of Ukrainian IDPs and EDPs is essential for improving the provision of services both in Ukraine and in receiving countries.
Slow (Bio)archaeology: Recovering Stories of Irish Immigrant Lives in the Huntington Anatomical Collection
Authors: Warner-Smith Alanna L. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractI consider the power of “slow archaeology” in a study of the Huntington Anatomical Collection, focusing on Irish immigrants who lived and worked in New York City over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. I argue that normative bioarchaeological categories and methods cannot fully account for the varied life histories of persons in the collection. Instead, I turn to the tenets of slow archaeology to move between scales of analysis and material traces. With a slow approach, embodied experiences of labor are highlighted and discourses about laborers are challenged. A slow approach seeks to recover the lived experiences of individuals exploited in life and made anonymous in death and is one potential way toward a more ethical bioarchaeology.
