Authors: Molnár László , Szép Tekla 
Published: October 2024

PurposeBalcony solar panels are popular and widespread in most EU Member States, except in Hungary, where their use is currently banned. However, the lifting of this strict ban is expected to be approved in the near future. The aim of this research is to investigate which factors influence residents’ intention to use balcony solar panels in Hungary and how strong these impacts are.Design/methodology/approachUnified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) is applied to predict which factors may influence residents’ behavioral intention to use this technology. Six components are tested: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and price value. Data were gathered in Hungary in 2023 using an online survey. A quota sampling method was employed during the data-collection process.FindingsOur results confirm the importance of all components except effort expectancy. In addition to the economic benefits that can be achieved, citizens consider energy independence and a sense of freedom to be important in the adoption of such systems.Research limitations/implicationsDespite the large share of positive responses (expressed intention) that is identified, a gap between intention and action can be expected.Practical implicationsTo increase the rate of acceptance, transparent regulation, simplified administration and the application of nudges may be crucially important. However, the widespread use of balcony solar systems is hindered by the lack of a modern, energy-efficient building stock, emphasizing the urgency of deep renovation in the Hungarian household sector.Originality/valueThis research is the first to use the UTAUT2 model to analyze the technology acceptance of balcony solar systems in a late-adopter country.

Authors: Waring Scott M. , Forsyth Samantha 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThrough the approach presented here, the authors created an investigation, utilizing the SOURCES Framework for Teaching with Primary and Secondary Sources, to allow their students to better understand that many people, specifically many dynamic women from diverse backgrounds, played vital roles, individually and collectively, in the fight for independence and, ultimately, the creation of the United States of America.Design/methodology/approachThe SOURCES Framework for Teaching with Primary and Secondary Sources is a framework that was developed to scaffold the learning process for students to replicate that which is done by historians. This approach allows students in the classroom, in a structured manner, to analyze primary and secondary sources in authentic and engaging ways in pursuit of answers to an essential question, and others of interest to each student, regarding historical events, controversy, etc. This process empowers students to think critically, weigh various perspectives and accounts and to develop their own evidence-based response to an essential question that is central to guiding and driving inquiry.FindingsThrough the analysis of primary and secondary sources related to women’s roles and efforts during the American Revolution, students were able to develop their own evidence-based narratives to answer the essential question of “What were the different roles women played during the American Revolution?”Originality/valueThe authors of the manuscript outline a unique approach to teaching students about the importance of women to the independence efforts in the United States during the late 18th century. Teachers of all grade levels and various content can modify and adapt the methods and resources presented here.

Authors: Machingura Tinotenda , Adetunji Olufemi , Muyavu Ashleigh Tatenda , Maware Catherine 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis research seeks to explore the interrelationships between human lean practices (HLP) and their impact on the business performance of service industries.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was used to collect data from the service industries in Zimbabwe, and 260 valid responses were obtained. The questionnaire was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SmartPLS.FindingsBoth the managerial human lean practices (MHLP) and employee human lean practices (EHLP) were found to positively impact business performance. Also, the MHLP had a positive relationship with EHLP.Research limitations/implicationsThe research focused on Zimbabwe’s service industry; hence, the results may not be readily adopted by other industries and countries without further investigations.Practical implicationsThe improvement in business performance is centered on the activities of humans, both the employees and managers. Therefore, organizations should invest more in human resources to enhance their performance.Originality/valueLean manufacturing (LM) is well known for its adoption in the manufacturing industry; thus, extending it to other sectors requires further research. Although a few studies have investigated the effect of adopting Lean in the service sector, they did not explore the relationship between MHLP and EHLP and the importance of such a relationship toward improved business performance.

Authors: Dunietz Galit Levi , Holzman Claudia , Lyu Xiru , Tauman Riva , Catov Janet M. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveMaternal lipid levels increase in normal pregnancies. Here, we examine whether pregnancies with the highest total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) or triglyceride levels or the lowest high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) levels predict future dyslipidemia post‐pregnancy.DesignLongitudinal cohort study.SettingFive communities in Michigan, USA.SamplePregnant women (n = 649) with blood lipid levels measured at mid‐pregnancy in the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health (POUCH) Study and at the POUCHmoms Study follow‐up, 7–15 years later.MethodsMaternal mid‐pregnancy lipid levels were defined as ‘high’ (upper quartile of triglycerides ≥ 216 mg/dL, LDL ≥ 145 mg/dL and total cholesterol ≥ 256 mg/dL) or ‘low’ (lower quartile, HDL < 58 mg/dL) using whole sample lipid distributions. At follow‐up, dyslipidemia was classified by the clinical cutoffs of triglycerides and total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, LDL ≥ 130 mg/dL and HDL < 50 mg/dL. Weighted regression models estimated the risk of dyslipidemia at follow‐up in relation to pregnancy lipid levels, adjusted for baseline confounders.Main Outcome MeasureDyslipidemia later in life.ResultsMid‐pregnancy triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol levels at the upper quartile were associated with at least threefold increase in the risk of abnormal triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol levels later in life. Women with low mid‐pregnancy HDL levels had just over a twofold increased risk of abnormally low HDL levels at follow‐up. These associations persisted following adjustment for covariates, i.e. demographics, lifestyle, and years of follow‐up.ConclusionsHigher mid‐pregnancy LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides and lower levels of HDL may signal future dyslipidemia risk and the need for closer lipid monitoring to ensure timely interventions that can attenuate cardiovascular disease risk.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the proportion of women presenting to EDs across a regional health district, with early pregnancy bleeding, who received appropriate care.MethodsRetrospective cohort review of linked data from five data sets: ED, pathology, radiology, costs and non‐admitted/outpatient. Data collected from five EDs between January 2011 and December 2020, across one health district in NSW, Australia, with 150 000 annual ED presentations. Management received by women of reproductive age, with early pregnancy (<20 weeks gestation) bleeding was compared to seven indicators for recommended care. Indicators included blood tests, psychosocial support, administration of Rhesus D immunoglobulin and US. Indicators were determined by a systematic analysis of published primary research, expert consensus clinical practice guidelines and literature reviews on initial assessment, intervention and diagnostics for women with early pregnancy bleeding.ResultsThere was no evidence of almost one third of women (n = 3661, 29.4%) receiving any indicators and 54 (0.4%) received five or more indicators of appropriate care. Presentations to rural facility had the lowest number and proportion of indicators being performed (n = 603, 58.0% for no indicators). Cost increased with the number of indicators. Over the study period, the proportion of all indicators being performed increased, and indicator six – psychosocial support referral or care had the biggest growth (almost 500%).ConclusionsVariation in care for women presenting with early pregnancy bleeding to ED was identified. There is an evidence‐practice gap and need for inquiry into barriers and facilitators to prescribed clinical practice for this population.

Authors: Lo Jessman King Lun , Fung Sara Wai Wun , Tsang Zara Chui San 
Published: October 2024

AbstractRosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare subtype of non–Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is a benign disease with variable presentations, with breast involvement being an uncommon manifestation. In this paper, we present a case of breast RDD in a 59‐year‐old Chinese woman who presented with a painless, enlarging mass in her right breast, accompanied by skin changes and no palpable axillary lymph node. A mammogram and breast ultrasonography revealed a progressively enlarging lesion with a suspicious axillary lymph node, leading to an upgrade from Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) score of 3 to 4A on interval imaging. Core biopsy of the breast mass and cytology of the right axillary lymph node confirmed extranodal RDD. After a 5‐year period of observation, excision was performed due to persistent symptoms. Local recurrence of RDD, with skin discolouration and thickening, was confirmed by skin biopsy 1 year and 9 months after the operation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of breast RDD in Hong Kong.

AbstractModern livestock production systems are characterized by a greater focus on intensification, involving managing larger numbers of animals to achieve higher productive efficiency and animal health and welfare within herds. Therefore, animal breeding programs need to be strategically designed to select animals that can effectively enhance production performance and animal welfare across a range of environmental conditions. Thus, this review summarizes the main methodologies used for assessing the levels of genotype‐by‐environment interaction (G × E) in cattle populations. In addition, we explored the importance of integrating genomic and phenotypic information to quantify and account for G × E in breeding programs. An overview of the structure of cattle breeding programs is provided to give insights into the potential outcomes and challenges faced when considering G × E to optimize genetic gains in breeding programs. The role of nutrigenomics and its impact on gene expression related to metabolism in cattle are also discussed, along with an examination of current research findings and their potential implications for future research and practical applications. Out of the 116 studies examined, 60 and 56 focused on beef and dairy cattle, respectively. A total of 83.62% of these studies reported genetic correlations across environmental gradients below 0.80, indicating the presence of G × E. For beef cattle, 69.33%, 24%, 2.67%, 2.67%, and 1.33% of the studies evaluated growth, reproduction, carcass and meat quality, survival, and feed efficiency traits, respectively. By contrast, G × E research in dairy cattle populations predominantly focused on milk yield and milk composition (79.36% of the studies), followed by reproduction and fertility (19.05%), and survival (1.59%) traits. The importance of G × E becomes particularly evident when considering complex traits such as heat tolerance, disease resistance, reproductive performance, and feed efficiency, as highlighted in this review. Genomic models provide a valuable avenue for studying these traits in greater depth, allowing for the identification of candidate genes and metabolic pathways associated with animal fitness, adaptation, and environmental efficiency. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics are emerging fields that require extensive investigation to maximize our understanding of gene–nutrient interactions. By studying various transcription factors, we can potentially improve animal metabolism, improving performance, health, and quality of products such as meat and milk.
Impact of convective clearance on intra‐dialytic potassium removal in chronic dialysis patients
Authors: Jaques David A. , Chhabra Roohi , Khatri Priyanka , Davenport Andrew 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIntroductionHyperkalemia is frequently encountered and associated with cardio‐vascular mortality in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. While online hemodiafiltration (OL‐HDF) is thought to offer clinical benefit over high‐flux HD, the impact of convective clearance on intra‐dialytic potassium removal is unknown.MethodsChronic dialysis patients undergoing outpatient HD or OL‐HDF at a single center attached to a university hospital were recruited in a prospective observational study. Spent dialysate along with clinical and biological variables were collected during a single mid‐week session.ResultsWe included 141 patients, with 21 treated with HD and 120 with OL‐HDF. Mean age was 65.7 ± 15.6 years with 87 (61.7%) men. Mean intra‐dialytic potassium removal was 69.9 ± 34.2 mmol. Patients on OL‐HDF and HD have similar intra‐dialytic potassium removal, with mean values of 69.1 ± 34.2 and 74.3 ± 35.0, respectively. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with intra‐dialytic potassium removal were (decreasing order of effect size): dialysate potassium (β −15.5, p < 0.001), pre‐HD serum potassium (β 9.1, p < 0.001), and session time (β 7.8, p = 0.003). In OL‐HDF patients, substitution flow was not associated with potassium removal.ConclusionIn chronic dialysis patients, convective therapy provided by OL‐HDF does not affect potassium removal when compared with high‐flux HD. Moreover, the importance of convective volume is not associated with potassium clearance in OL‐HDF. Overall, session length and serum‐to‐dialysate potassium gradient are the main determinants of potassium clearance regardless of dialysis modality. Those results should inform clinicians on the optimal therapy in chronic dialysis patients in the era of OL‐HDF.

AbstractThe aims of this study were to determine adaptation mechanism of sheep to salinity in drinking water. A group of 10 male sheep were used in a 6‐week of experiment, with 1 week for pre‐treatment period (Week 1), 4 weeks for during treatment period (Week 2 to Week 5), and 1 week for posttreatment period (Week 6). During the pre‐ and posttreatment periods, sheep consumed with fresh water. However, during treatment period, they were given with diluted seawater (DSW) at concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2% for Weeks 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Animal was offered 300 g concentrate and corn stover silage for ab libitum. Dry matter intake decreased as DSW increased, whereas sheep drinking DSW showed an increase in water intake and urine volume (p < 0.05). Body weight change decreased in 2% DSW. Sheep consuming 2% DSW exhibited higher plasma electrolyte levels compared to other groups. But plasma levels of AST, ALT, and creatinine were unaffected by DSW (p > 0.05). The elevated levels and excretions of urinary electrolytes were found in DSW groups (p < 0.05). Water balance was unaffected by DSW, except during the recovery period. It concluded that adapted sheep can consume DSW up to 1.5% without harmful effects.
