Long-term relationships between users and smart voice assistants: the roles of experience and love
Authors: Hernández-Ortega Blanca , Ferreira Ivani , Lapresta-Romero Sara 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study examines why long-term relationships between expert users and smart voice assistants (SVAs) develop. It postulates that the five dimensions of experience (i.e. sensory, affective, intellectual, behavioural and relational) generate feelings of love for SVAs. The formation of love is examined considering three components: passion, intimacy and commitment. These feelings encourage users to continue employing and to generate long-term relationships with SVAs.Design/methodology/approachData from a survey of 403 USA expert users of SVAs provide the input for structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results show that three dimensions of experience influence users’ passion towards SVAs: affective, intellectual and behavioural. Moreover, passion can convert the effect of users’ experiences into intimacy and commitment. Finally, intimacy and commitment increase users’ intentions to continue using SVAs.Originality/valueThe findings obtained make three original contributions. First, this study is the first to analyse expert users of SVAs and the post-technology adoption stage. Therefore, it introduces a new case of relational marketing in smart technologies. Second, this study contributes by applying a new theoretical perspective that evaluates the importance of users’ experiences with SVAs. Third, it takes an interpersonal approach to explore user-SVA interactions, revealing that users can develop human-like love feelings for SVAs.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-10-2022-0570
Tailoring coil geometry for achieving uniform heating through coil shape topology optimization for induction heating-based metal wire additive manufacturing
Authors: Choubey Rahul Kumar , Patil Mayur , Jain Prashant K. 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
Induction heating as an energy source is a novel, recent method in extrusion-based metal additive manufacturing. The purpose of this paper is to develop an optimized coil for extrusion-based metal wire additive manufacturing. The optimized coil is so designed that uniform temperature distribution can be achieved in the extruder, achieving uniform material deposition in a semi-solid state, which is required for additive manufacturing.

Design/methodology/approach
Coil shape optimization is achieved by using arrangement of coil turns as a control variable in the form optimization process, and the objective function is to minimize the gradient in the distribution of the magnetic field to achieve uniform heating in the extruder for maintaining consistent solid and liquid fraction during material deposition. A combination of numerical solutions and geometrical optimization has been used for this study.

Findings
Experimental and simulation results reveal that the optimized induction coil produced a more uniform axial temperature distribution in the extruder, which is suitable for maintaining a uniform solid-to-liquid fraction ratio during material deposition.

Originality/value
The author has investigated the use of optimized-shaped induction coils in extrusion-based additive manufacturing. The optimized coil can achieve a more uniform temperature distribution in the extruder in comparison to the standard helical coil used in the existing process, which means optimized coil achieves a more uniform solid-to-liquid ratio during printing in comparison to existing standard coil shapes used for heating extruders and fulfils the requirement of additive manufacturing.
The Forthcoming General Election in the Republic of Ireland: Winds of (Left‐Wing) Change or Plus Ça Change?
Authors: Rálaigh Chris Ó 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government. Any such government would portend change in the North of Ireland, symbolising a critical juncture on the path towards the ending of partition. Analysing electoral and ideological shifts across the post‐2008 period, this article examines the immediate prospects for the coming to power of a left‐wing government and an historic first in Irish politics.
Playing it Safer: Applied Drama as a means of reducing barriers to LGBTQIA+ inclusion in sports and education environments
Authors: Eldridge David , Fielding Lucy , Dickenson Sarah Jane 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn a context where more than 40% of LGBTQIA+ individuals in the UK are estimated to avoid sports due to experiences of discrimination, with disengagement closely linked to negative experiences during physical education at school, the ability of specifically LGBTQIA+‐oriented sports clubs to buck this trend and create vibrant inclusive sporting communities across the country warrants both celebration and investigation. Safer, a new play centred on the experiences of the recently formed Hull Roundheads ‘gay and inclusive’ rugby club, has been part of such an investigation led by a creative research team at the University of Hull (England) since 2022. This paper reports on the use of Safer and Applied Drama workshops in schools and colleges in the Hull and Humber region as a highly effective means of amplifying the voices of LGBTQIA+ youth and supporting educational environments in improving their understanding and capacity to be inclusive in sports settings and beyond.

AbstractWe aimed to evaluate the ability of naturally occurring colonies of Microcystis, embedded in a thick mucilage, to persist in estuarine waters. In two batch experiments, we examined the dynamics of microbial communities, including cyanobacteria and associated heterotrophic bacteria, sampled from the field during both a cyanobacterial bloom (non‐limiting nutrient condition) and the post‐bloom period (limiting nutrient condition), and subjected them to a salinity gradient representative of the freshwater‐marine continuum. We demonstrated that both Microcystis aeruginosa and M. wesenbergii survived high salinities due to osmolyte accumulation. Specifically, prolonged exposure to high salinity led to betaine accumulation in the cyanobacterial biomass. The relative abundance of the mcyB gene remained around 30%, suggesting no selection for toxic genotypes with salinity or nutrient changes. Microcystins were predominantly intracellular, except at high salinity levels (>15), where more than 50% of the total microcystin concentration was extracellular. In both nutrient conditions, over 70% of the heterotrophic bacterial community belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria family, followed by the Bacteroidota. Bacterial community composition differed in both size fractions, as well as along the salinity gradient over time. Finally, genus‐specific core microbiomes were identified and conserved even under highly stressful conditions, suggesting interactions that support community stability and resilience.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundIn the intensive care unit (ICU), delirium in patients and long‐term mental health challenges in both patients and their family members are highly prevalent. To address these issues, patient‐ and family‐centered care has been recommended to alleviate the burdens associated with critical illness and ICU admission. We have developed the patient‐ and FAMily‐centered care in the adult ICU intervention (FAM–ICU intervention). This multi‐component intervention comprises several concrete and manageable components and operationalizing patient‐ and family‐centered care principles in clinical practice. In this protocol, we describe a study aiming to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the FAM–ICU intervention in the adult ICU setting, including the feasibility of collecting relevant patient‐ and family‐member outcome data.MethodWe will conduct a pre‐/post two‐group study design. We plan to recruit 30 adult ICU patients and their close family members at Herlev University Hospital in Denmark. The pre‐group (n = 15) will receive usual care and the post‐group (n = 15) will receive the FAM–ICU intervention. The FAM–ICU intervention involves interdisciplinary training of the ICU team and a systematic approach to information sharing and consultations with the patients and their family. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment and retention rates, intervention fidelity, and the feasibility of participant outcome data collection. Acceptability will be assessed through questionnaires and interviews with clinicians, patients, and family members. Data collection is scheduled to begin in January 2025.DiscussionThis study will assess the feasibility and acceptability when implementing the FAM–ICU intervention and the feasibility of conducting a main trial to investigate its effectiveness on delirium in patients and the mental health of patients and family members. The data from the feasibility study will be used to guide sample size calculations, trial design, and final data collection methods for a subsequent stepped‐wedge randomized controlled trial.

AbstractBackgroundCRUSE® is an app that allows patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) to monitor their daily disease activity through the use of visual analogue scales (VASs). We aimed to determine the concurrent validity, reliability, responsiveness and minimal important difference (MID) of CRUSE® VASs.MethodsWe evaluated the properties of three daily VASs: VAS for how much patients were affected by their CSU (‘VAS urticaria’), VAS for the impact of urticaria on work/school productivity (‘VAS productivity’) and the VAS of EQ‐5D. Concurrent validity was assessed by measuring the association between each VAS and the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS). Intra‐rater reliability was determined based on the data of users providing multiple daily questionnaires within the same day. Test–retest reliability and responsiveness (ability to change), respectively, were tested in clinically stable and clinically unstable users. MIDs were determined using distribution‐based methods.ResultsWe included 5938 patients (67,380 days). Concurrent validity was high, with VAS urticaria being more strongly associated with the UAS score than the remaining VASs. Intra‐rater reliability was also high, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) being above 0.950 for all VASs. Moderate‐high test–retest reliability and responsiveness were observed, with reliability ICC being highest for VAS EQ‐5D and responsiveness being highest for VAS urticaria. The MID for VAS urticaria was 17 (out of 100) units, compared to 15 units for VAS productivity and 11 units for VAS EQ‐5D.ConclusionDaily VASs for CSU available in the CRUSE® app display high concurrent validity and intra‐rater reliability and moderate‐high test–retest reliability and responsiveness.

AbstractIntroductionMelatonin has been suggested to have a biological role in the onset and progress of labor. We tested the hypothesis that the addition of melatonin during an induction of labor will reduce the need for a cesarean birth.Material and MethodsThis trial underwent protocol amendments that are detailed in the main text of the article. This trial is registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12616000311459). At a multi‐center health service including secondary and tertiary obstetric hospitals, we performed a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial in women with a singleton cephalic pregnancy, free of significant maternal or perinatal complications who were undergoing induction of labor (with or without cervical ripening). Women were randomized to 10 mg melatonin vs placebo, with cervical ripening as required, and then 6‐h during their induction of labor to a maximum of four doses or until birth. The primary outcome was cesarean birth. Secondary outcomes included labor, maternal, and neonatal outcomes. Data were analyzed using intention to treat. Sub‐group analyses based on mode of ripening and parity were also performed.ResultsBetween 2019 and 2021 we randomized 189 women (103 to melatonin and 86 to placebo). The study was prematurely terminated due to logistical complications resulting from the COVID‐19 pandemic. Cesarean rates were 28/103 (27.2%) in the melatonin group vs 20/84 (23.3%) in the placebo group (RR 1.17 95% CI 0.71–1.92). There were no significant differences in rate of cesarean birth between the melatonin and placebo groups for failure to progress (13.4% and 9.3%, respectively, RR 1.46; 95% CI 0.64–3.32) or suspected fetal distress (10.7% and 10.5%, respectively, RR 1.02; 95% CI 0.44–2.34). The melatonin group had significantly lower rates of spontaneous vaginal birth within 24 h (35.0% vs. 50.0%; RR 0.70 95% CI 0.50–0.98). The rates of secondary outcomes such as total length of labor, rate of postpartum hemorrhage, and instrumental birth were comparable. Babies born in the melatonin group were more likely to need admission to the special care nursery, namely for hypoglycemic monitoring (18.5% vs. 8.1% RR 2.26; 95% CI 1.00–5.10).ConclusionsIn women undergoing induction of labor, melatonin does not reduce the cesarean section rate. Melatonin use intrapartum may also be associated with neonatal hypoglycemia.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTIntroductionHypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is a treatable cause of nonobstructive azoospermic male infertility. Gonadotropin treatment can successfully induce spermatogenesis in most patients, although comprehensive quantitative summary data on spermatogenic outcomes like those required to induce pregnancy is lacking in the literature.Materials and MethodsSystematic review and meta‐analysis of outcomes related to male reproductive function following gonadotropin treatment.ResultsOur search strategy identified 41 studies encompassing 1673 patients with a mean age of 25 (± 5) years. Average sperm concentration achieved after a median of 18 months of gonadotropin treatment was 11.6 M/mL of ejaculate (95% CI 8.4–14.9). Sperm concentrations > 0, > 1, > 5, > 10 and > 20 M/mL were achieved by 78%, 55%, 36%, 24% and 15% of patients, respectively. Mean sperm output and the proportion of patients achieving all sperm thresholds were significantly greater following combined hCG/FSH treatment compared with hCG monotherapy. When compared by diagnosis, patients with congenital HH (CHH) had significantly lower mean sperm output compared with patients with hypopituitarism or mixed patient cohorts that did not differentiate between CHH and hypopituitarism. Treatment‐related increases in testosterone and testicular volume (TV) were not different between hCG and combined hCG/FSH treated patients, although increases in TV were lower in men with CHH compared with those with hypopituitarism.ConclusionsGonadotropin treatment successfully induced spermatogenesis in most men with pathological gonadotropin deficiency. Sperm outputs more consistent with those typically needed to induce a natural pregnancy were less commonly achieved. Despite similar effects on serum testosterone and TV, combined hCG/FSH appeared more efficacious than hCG alone at inducing spermatogenesis.
Rethinking concepts of special educational needs and disability in the primary classroom
Authors: Hamilton Paula , Matthews Sarah 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the outcomes of a disability awareness programme aimed at rethinking concepts of special educational needs and disability (SEND) with children aged 8–9 years old. Designed specifically for this research study, the work was undertaken in a mainstream primary classroom in England. Although research has been undertaken in this area, it is limited and often focused on children's friendships. Drawing upon a disability studies in education lens, the study contributes to the literature through its use of interactive methods to elicit and deconstruct children's thinking. The findings suggest that many children continue to hold deficit perceptions about SEND, rooted in medical model perspectives. However, carefully designed programmes which enable children to consider first‐person experiences, and encourage the deconstruction of ableist discourses, can promote more flexible understanding and progressive attitudes towards SEND in childhood.

Abstract
Hurricanes are major disturbances with important consequences to stream ecosystems as they create major floods and remove riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, as hurricane intensity is expected to increase due to global climate change.
Mayfly assemblages in streams fill a diversity of ecological roles and functions. They are important consumers of algae by scraping benthic biofilms and detritivores associated with fine particles and leaf litter. Other taxa are filterers and even predators. Mayflies are also important prey items in aquatic and terrestrial food webs.
Here, we assessed the effects of two consecutive hurricanes that impacted Puerto Rico in 2017 to understand how hurricane‐induced changes in the environment alter mayfly composition, secondary production and emergence.
The study was conducted in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Mayflies were sampled as nymphs and emerging adults for 6 months before and 17 months after hurricanes Irma and María hit the island in September 2017. Leaf litter inputs, canopy cover and chlorophyll a concentrations were monitored along with mayflies.
Mayfly assemblages were dominated by two genera of Leptophlebiidae before the hurricane, Neohagenulus (two species: N. julio Traver, 1938, N. luteolus Traver, 1938) and Borinquena (one species: B. carmencita Traver, 1938). Both genera decreased in density after the hurricanes and were replaced with the Baetidae Cloeodes maculipes Traver, 1938 as the dominant taxon. This pattern was observed in both nymph and emerging adult densities.
The secondary production of Leptophlebiidae species was highest before hurricane disturbance, with the Baetidae C. maculipes showing the opposite pattern. Neohagenulus had an annual production of 445 mg m−2 year−1, C. maculipes of 153 mg m−2 year−1 and B. carmencita of 68 mg m−2 year−1.
Overall, the mayfly assemblages in our studied stream are vulnerable to hurricane disturbances. Expected increases in hurricane impacts might result in assemblage shifts that could change assemblage composition and alter energy flows within the ecosystem.

ABSTRACTBackgroundChimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR‐T) therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in relapsed or refractory large B cell lymphoma, but real‐world evidence is needed to confirm safety and efficacy when facing the unique challenges of a wide geographical catchment area.MethodsWe reviewed patients treated with commercially available CAR‐T at a medium‐sized single center in Canada (The Ottawa Hospital) between December 2020 and July 2022 (Canadian implementation started in 2020).ResultsFifty‐one patients (59% male, median age 62) traveled a median distance of 655 km (range 3–3659) for treatment. Median time from apheresis to CAR‐T infusion was 36 days (range 26–81). With a median follow‐up of 383 days (95% CI: 333–480), median progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 257 days (95% CI: 92‐NE) and 422 days (95% CI: 106‐NE), respectively. The median PFS for out‐of‐province patients was 115 days (95% CI: 91‐NE) versus 280 days for in‐province patients (95% CI: 142‐NE), p = 0.12. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that distance from treatment center (p = 0.05) and refractory disease status (p = 0.003) were independently associated with shorter PFS. The time from the last disease progression to CAR‐T referral was longer for out‐of‐province patients, but there was no difference in the time of referral to CAR‐T consult, apheresis, or CAR‐T infusion between in‐province and out‐of‐province patients.ConclusionOur results confirm that despite the complexity of CAR‐T therapy administration, Ottawa can effectively provide commercial CAR‐T therapy in a timely fashion for patients from across the country.
