AbstractBackgroundSeed amplification assay (SAA) testing has been developed as a biomarker for the diagnosis of α‐synuclein‐related neurodegenerative disorders.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the rate of α‐synuclein SAA positivity in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and to analyze clinical and pathological features of SAA‐positive and ‐negative cases.MethodsA total of 96 cerebrospinal fluid samples from clinically diagnosed PSP (n = 59) and CBS (n = 37) cases were analyzed using α‐synuclein SAA.ResultsSix of 59 (10.2%) PSP cases were α‐synuclein SAA positive, including one case who was MSA‐type positive. An exploratory analysis showed that PSP cases who were Parkinson's disease–type positive were older and had a shorter disease duration compared with SAA‐negative cases. In contrast, 11 of 37 (29.7%) CBS cases were α‐synuclein SAA positive, including two cases who were MSA‐type positive.ConclusionsOur results suggest that α‐synuclein seeds can be detected in PSP and CBS using a cerebrospinal fluid α‐synuclein SAA, and in PSP this may impact on clinical course.

AbstractObjectiveThe association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngeal disorders remains debatable, although it has been the focus of extensive clinical and laboratory research. We conducted this study to obtain evidence on the association.Study DesignPopulation‐based cohort study.SettingTaiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).MethodsUsing data from Taiwan's NHIRD (January 2000 to December 2018), we performed a population‐based analysis to estimate the risk of laryngeal disorders in patients with GERD and those without GERD.ResultsThe GERD and non‐GERD cohorts comprised 176,319 and 705,276 patients, respectively. The cohorts were matched at a ratio of 1:4 based on sex, age, urbanization level, and income level. The risk of laryngeal disorders was higher in the GERD cohort than in the non‐GERD cohort (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.64; 95% confidence interval: 1.61‐1.67).ConclusionThis study is the first to use population data for identifying the association between GERD and laryngeal disorders for real‐world findings. Our population‐based analysis indicates that patients with GERD have an elevated risk of laryngeal disorders.
Spurring teacher well‐being from teacher leadership and basic psychological needs perspectives
Authors: Thien Lei Mee , Liu Peng 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the linear and nonlinear (non‐compensation) effects of teacher leadership on teacher well‐being dimensions through the three basic psychological needs dimensions (autonomy, competence, and relatedness). This quantitative cross‐sectional study used partial least squares structural equation modelling and artificial neural network (ANN) for data analysis. Data were collected using survey questionnaires from 728 Malaysian primary school teachers. All the direct (linear) and indirect effects of teacher leadership on teacher well‐being dimensions through teachers' basic psychological needs were significant. The ANN analysis revealed that competence, a dimension of teacher basic psychological needs, was the strongest predictor of workload well‐being and student interaction well‐being. Autonomy was the strongest predictor of organisational well‐being. Implications and future studies are presented.
College students' journey to wellness: A confirmatory factor analysis of the Journey to Wellness Scale
Authors: Li Annabel W. , Bardos Achilles N. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe mental health of college students in the United States has been a longstanding national concern, which has only been exacerbated by the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. The Journey to Wellness Scale (JWS) is a newly developed instrument grounded in empirical research in prevention, positive psychology, resilience, and social‐emotional learning, designed to measure psychological wellbeing in adults, including college students, across 10 dimensions: Adaptability, Initiative, Conscientiousness, Connectedness, Social Competence, Empathy, Optimism, Emotional Self‐Regulation, Mindfulness, and Self‐Efficacy. The JWS, a 60‐item self‐report instrument, requires participants to rate their endorsement of the items on a Likert‐type scale. The current study explored the adequacy of the JWS in measuring psychological wellness by confirmatory factor analysis with a sample of 722 college students. Results indicated that the JWS reliably captured the 10 dimensions and effectively measured overall psychological wellness. These findings support the JWS as a valid tool for assessing psychological wellness in the college student population. Future research directions and implications of the study were discussed.

Published: September 2024

AbstractResearchers have focused on exploring various types of nanomaterial‐based adsorbents, of which carbon nanotubes (CNT) are the most promising, to offset the harmful effects of waste water‐containing dyes on both human health and aquatic ecosystems. A new, novel, efficient, rapid, and one‐pot synthetic route for synthesizing CNT has been attempted by using sodium perchlorate as a precursor at 300 °C for 3 h. Further, La‐CNT (lanthanum‐doped carbon nanotubes) has been synthesized. These materials were characterized through FTIR, FESEM, XRD, STA, EDS, and UV‐visible techniques, among others. Both materials were used as better suitable and efficient adsorbents to completely remove the toxic dye Rh‐B (Rhodamine B) (≈100% adsorption of dye) from aqueous solutions. The synthesized materials displayed lanthanum‐doped carbon nanotubes and aligned nanotubes, with lanthanum‐doped carbon buds present in La‐CNT. La‐CNT was found to be more thermally stable than CNT. Freundlich and Langmuir's isotherms were validated for the adsorption process, with pseudo‐second‐order kinetics being favored.

AbstractExtrinsic dilute magnetic semiconductors achieve magnetic functionality through tailored interaction between a semiconducting matrix and a non‐magnetic dopant. The absence of intrinsic magnetic impurities makes this approach promising to investigate the newly emerging field of 2D dilute magnetic semiconductors. Here the first realization of an extrinsic 2D DMS in Pt‐doped WS2 is demonstrated. A bottom‐up synthesis approach yields a uniform and highly crystalline monolayer where platinum selectively occupies the tungsten sub‐lattice. The orbital overlap between W 4d and Pt 5d results in spin‐selective hybrid states that produce a strong valley‐Zeeman splitting. Combined experimental and theoretical results show that this interaction yields a sizable ferromagnetic response with a Curie temperature ≈375 K. These results open up a new route toward 2D magnetic properties through tailoring of atomic interactions for future applications in spintronics and magnetic nanoactuation.

AbstractAs a language teacher educator (LTE) at a Doctoral Universities ‐ High Research Activity (R2) institution, this invitation to document how the first author (Gloria) has come to (re)construct and (re)negotiate her identity as an LTE is both timely and necessary, as the academic year 2024–2025 marks her 17th year at her institution. In this conceptual feature article, she begins this narrativized journey as one way to reflect on who she is and who she has become as an LTE, and she has invited four of her former mentees (Silvia, Marie, Shannon, and Sarah) who have become her co‐authors and co‐editors in various publication opportunities. Using poetic and narrativized writing, Gloria and her mentees share snapshots of their reflections and reflexivity in working together to understand and define intentional mentoring practices. The authors conclude with their own definitions of intentional mentoring practice and invite the journal audience to collectively engage in our unfinished journey.

Supersymmetric charge constraints on AdS black holes from free fields
Authors: Larsen Finn , Lee Siyul 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Supersymmetric AdS black hole solutions exist only when their angular momenta and charges satisfy a certain constraint that depends on the dimension. We show that these nonlinear relations on the conserved charges agree with a computation in the dual supersymmetric CFT in its free limit, with interactions entering only through a uniform rescaling of all charges. Our computations apply to the highly non-trivial charge constraints for AdS4, AdS5 and AdS7 black holes, and generalize an earlier one for the analogous constraint in AdS3. Our results suggest a microscopic understanding of AdS black holes beyond the scope of supersymmetric indices.

Zusammenfassung
Ein 42-jähriger Patient wurde uns notärztlich in den Schockraum zugewiesen nach „return of spontaneous circulation“ (ROSC) bei außerklinischem Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand mit Kammerflimmern als initialem Rhythmus. Als Ursache präsentierte sich in der CT-Bildgebung (Computertomographie) und Koronarangiographie die Erstdiagnose eines ALCAPA-Syndroms („anomalus left coronary artery origin from pulonary artery“). Es zeigte sich eine typische kaliberstarke rechtskoronare Versorgung des Herzens und ausgeprägte Kollateralisierung. Nach initialer Intensivtherapie erfolgte die operative Versorgung des Befunds. Der Patient konnte ohne neurologisches Defizit in gutem Allgemeinzustand entlassen werden.
Feasibility of manufacturing high-aspect-ratio hollow tubes of SS410 through wire-arc directed energy deposition

Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study reports new observations from the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio hollow tubes of SS410 through wire-arc directed energy deposition (wire-arc DED) process. Characterisation work was performed on a single tube as a function of its build height. The maximum ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1372 MPa and maximum yield strength (YS) of 980 MPa were achieved in the middle region of the tube. The highest UTS in the middle was attributed to the low delta ferrite content. The reduction of delta ferrite was found to be linked with the repetitive heating and cooling. In contrast, the top and bottom sections exhibit a substantial presence of delta ferrite, indicating that the cyclic effects were not considerable. Nevertheless, the presence of significant ductility in the bottom region of the component indicated the occurrence of tempering effects. This observation is further supported by the lower levels of local strain observed using KAM mapping. Overall, this work proposes a novel fabrication method for producing hollow sections with superior strength and ductile properties.
Probabilistic hazard analyses for a small island: methods for quantifying tephra fall hazard and appraising possible impacts on Ascension Island
Authors: Osman Sara , Crummy Julia , Thomas Mark , Carver Stephen 
Published: September 2024

AbstractProximal to the source, tephra fall can cause severe disruption, and populations of small volcanically active islands can be particularly susceptible. Volcanic hazard assessments draw on data from past events generated from historical observations and the geological record. However, on small volcanic islands, many eruptive deposits are under-represented or missing due to the bulk of tephra being deposited offshore and high erosion rates from weather and landslides. Ascension Island is such an island located in the South Atlantic, with geological evidence of mafic and felsic explosive volcanism. Limited tephra preservation makes it difficult to correlate explosive eruption deposits and constrains the frequency or magnitude of past eruptions. We therefore combined knowledge from the geological record together with eruptions from the analogous São Miguel island, Azores, to probabilistically model a range of possible future explosive eruption scenarios. We simulated felsic events from a single vent in the east of the island, and, as mafic volcanism has largely occurred from monogenetic vents, we accounted for uncertainty in future vent location by using a grid of equally probable source locations within the areas of most recent eruptive activity. We investigated the hazards and some potential impacts of short-lived explosive events where tephra fall deposits could cause significant damage and our results provide probabilities of tephra fall loads from modelled events exceeding threshold values for potential damage. For basaltic events with 6–10 km plume heights, we found a 50% probability that tephra fallout across the west side of the island would impact roads and the airport during a single explosive event, and if roofs cannot be cleared, three modelled explosive phases produced tephra loads that may be sufficient to cause roof collapse (≥ 100 kg m−2). For trachytic events, our results show a 50% probability of loads of 2–12 kg m−2 for a plume height of 6 km increasing to 898–3167 kg m−2 for a plume height of 19 km. Our results can assist in raising awareness of the potential impacts of tephra fall from short-lived explosive events on small islands.
The Tropical and Zonotopal Geometry of Periodic Timetables
Authors: Bortoletto Enrico , Lindner Niels , Masing Berenike 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe Periodic Event Scheduling Problem (PESP) is the standard mathematical tool for optimizing periodic timetables in public transport. A solution to a PESP instance consists of three parts: a periodic timetable, a periodic tension, and integer offset values. While the space of periodic tensions has received much attention in the past, we explore geometric properties of the other two components. The general aim of this paper is to establish novel connections between periodic timetabling and discrete geometry. Firstly, we study the space of feasible periodic timetables as a disjoint union of polytropes. These are polytopes that are convex both classically and in the sense of tropical geometry. We then study this decomposition and use it to outline a new heuristic for PESP, based on neighbourhood relations of the polytropes. Secondly, we recognize that the space of fractional cycle offsets is in fact a zonotope, and then study its zonotopal tilings. These are related to the hyperrectangle of fractional periodic tensions, as well as the polytropes of the periodic timetable space, and we detail their interplay. To conclude, we also use this new understanding to give tight lower bounds on the minimum width of an integral cycle basis.

AbstractThis article focuses on screening the major secreted proteins by the ischemia-challenged cardiac stromal fibroblasts (CF), the assessment of their expression status and functional role in the post-ischemic left ventricle (LV) and in the ischemia-challenged CF culture and to phenotype CF at single cell resolution based on the positivity of the identified mediators. The expression level of CRSP2, HSP27, IL-8, Cofilin-1, and HSP90 in the LV tissues following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and myocardial infarction (MI) and CF cells followed the screening profile derived from the MS/MS findings. The histology data unveiled ECM disorganization, inflammation and fibrosis reflecting the ischemic pathology. CRSP2, HSP27, and HSP90 were significantly upregulated in the LV-CABG tissues with a concomitant reduction ion LV-MI whereas Cofilin-1, IL8, Nrf2, and Troponin I were downregulated in LV-CABG and increased in LV-MI. Similar trends were exhibited by ischemic CF. Single cell transcriptomics revealed multiple sub-phenotypes of CF based on their respective upregulation of CRSP2, HSP27, IL-8, Cofilin-1, HSP90, Troponin I and Nrf2 unveiling pathological and pro-healing phenotypes. Further investigations regarding the underlying signaling mechanisms and validation of sub-populations would offer novel translational avenues for the management of cardiac diseases.
Measurement of the Tension Loss in a Cable Traveling Over a Pulley, for Low-Speed Applications
Authors: Máté P. , Szekrényes A. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Wire ropes or cables are widely used solutions for force transmission in several industrial applications. Their hysteretic behavior may significantly influence control accuracy or the force transmission’s efficiency. Cables traveling through sheaves can suffer a relatively high tension loss, which this article addresses.

Objective
This paper aims to present a simple measurement method for the tension loss in cables traveling over sheaves on bearings.

Methods
The presented measurement method uses a cable-pulley system with a spring installed at one cable end. The pulley is moved in a zig-zag pattern. The force is measured on both cable ends; this way, the tension loss can be determined as a function of the cable tension. The force was measured with S-type load cells, which are highly sensitive to off-axis loads; this problem can be overcome by proving that the force measurement has a proportional error, which can be eliminated from the frictional coefficient. The measurements are compared to two models from the literature; one approximates the power loss of a cable drive by calculating the work of the cable’s inner friction, and the other is a cable bending model, which is used to determine the hysteretic energy of the cyclic bending.

Results
The result of the measurement evaluation is a coefficient of tension loss that contains the loss coming from the cable bending and the bearing friction. Four cable types and a steel strip with negligible bending hysteresis were measured, the latter for control measurement. It is demonstrated that a significant part of the tension loss originates from the inner friction of the cable and that it is equal to the hysteretic energy of the cyclic bending.

Conclusion
The presented method provides a robust measurement for the tension loss factor in cables traveling over pulleys. It is proven that the off-axis loads cause a proportional error in the force measured by S-type load cells, and this measurement error can be eliminated from the tension loss factor. The results demonstrated that the presented models can be used to predict the tension loss in cables traveling over sheaves.
Integration of blockchain and life cycle assessment: a systematic literature review
Authors: Zhang Lyu , Fröhling Magnus 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Blockchain has the potential to bring numerous benefits to life cycle assessment (LCA), such as traceability, transparency, and accurate inventory data and assessment results. Consequently, there has been a gradual emergence of research focusing on the integration of blockchain and LCA in recent years. The aim of this study is to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive state of research on blockchain-LCA integration.

Methods
This study undertook a systematic review of published articles on blockchain-LCA integration, analyzing the papers indexed so far in the Web of Science and SCOPUS. Thirty-one articles were identified, on which a bibliometric analysis was carried out. Furthermore, this study extracted and synthesized the data for the themes of benefits, barriers, frameworks and models, and case studies, and conducted detailed analysis for each theme.

Results and discussion
The results indicated that the current state of research in this field is still in its early stages. Most articles proposed various potential benefits across different stages of the integration. However, the integration faced various technical, organizational, and system-related barriers. Only a limited number of articles presented frameworks, models, and case studies. Currently, there is a significant lack of case studies rooted in real-world data. Based on the results of the review, this study offered relevant suggestions for future development of the blockchain-LCA integration. Additionally, this study proposed a novel and practical generic framework to provide guidance for the continued advancement in this field.

Conclusion
This work reveals that the number of studies of blockchain-LCA integration is increasing, but this field is still in the early stages. Many potential benefits and barriers to the integration were proposed, but most of them lack validation within the existing research. In particular, there is a great need for real-world case studies.
