A fix that may fail: A qualitative model to explore potential rebound effects of digital textile microfactories
Authors: Martinez‐Jaramillo Juan Esteban , Tilebein Meike 
Published: July 2024

AbstractFast fashion principles and mass production within globalised supply chains are pivotal in driving the economic success of the fashion industry, but they also contribute significantly to its severe environmental impacts, which must be mitigated. Digital textile microfactories are innovative small‐scale fully digitalised design and manufacturing systems that present a promising technological solution. These offer the companies that adopt them environmental and economic advantages. However, their widespread adoption in the industry may have unintended consequences. This study hypothesises a rebound effect within the industry and proposes a qualitative modelling approach based on causal loop diagrams. We present a model for identifying rebound mechanisms that may accelerate purchases, along with a mitigation strategy emphasising the consideration of customer behaviour. The contribution of this paper is twofold: Firstly, it provides a starting point for detailed quantitative studies, and secondly, it offers insights for policy‐making towards a sustainable transition in the industry.

“Koreans Are Always Nodding or Bowing”: K-Wave Fandom’s Perception and Learning of Non-verbal Politeness
Authors: Kiaer Jieun , Kim Loli , Lo Alfred W. T. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis chapter shows how K-wave viewers’ exposure to dramas and reality TV shows informs their perception and understanding of politeness. In particular, we focused on how participants in K-wave fandom acquire the notion of non-verbal honorifics and politeness. We adopted a multimodal qualitative design by including learners in a multilingual Korean classroom in the United Kingdom to express their perceptions on non-verbal politeness through a think-aloud protocol, as well as creating a multimodal text to express the mental thinking process of their notion on politeness through non-verbal acts. Findings show how different levels of learners perceive non-verbal politeness differently. For instance, beginners were unaware of Korean pragmatics and the significance of semiotic resources. Although intermediate participants demonstrated a better understanding of non-verbal behaviour, it still lacked nuance, whereas advanced participants understood it well. Also, the paper reveals how watching K-dramas and K-films provides insight into pragmatics learning without the need to exert much effort on the learners’ part and supplement traditional textbook-based classroom teaching. The chapter also sheds light on how media integration into language learning syllabuses could prove particularly beneficial for Asian languages, which have a different pragmatic system than European languages.
Efficient part orientation algorithm for additive manufacturing in industrial applications
Authors: Bacciaglia Antonio , Liverani Alfredo , Ceruti Alessandro 
Published: July 2024

AbstractOver the past few decades, the scientific community’s and industry’s interest in additive manufacturing technologies has surged. This technology is distinguished by the layer-by-layer deposition of the raw materials and the piece’s growth in a predetermined build orientation. This factor impacts the process’ overall cost, surface quality, and other crucial parameters. Numerous methods to solve competing aspects have been proposed in the literature, with the more promising that iteratively uses ray-tracing techniques. Existing algorithms iterate for each discrete element of the model’s bounding box projection onto the building platform. However, when optimisation algorithms are used on real-life industrial parts, computational time problems arise due to the high number of faces in the models. A new computational technique to determine the appropriate part orientation to reduce the support volume is proposed to address the problem. The method reduces the computational time, cycling the ray-tracing only on the triangles where the model surface is discretised. This approach has been integrated into an enhanced particle swarm optimisation algorithm to prove its efficiency. The approach is intended for industrial applications where it is necessary to handle complicated geometries quickly and efficiently to find the best orientation. Based on the computer’s resources and the complexity of the faceted model, a set of case studies with an industrial engineering significance is used to demonstrate the approach’s effectiveness.
Ultrasonic micro-injection moulding: characterisation of interfacial friction by varying feedstock shape and high-speed thermal imaging for microneedle feature replication
Authors: Gülçür Mert , Gough Tim , Brown Elaine , Whiteside Ben 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study explores the interfacial friction in ultrasonic micro-injection moulding by using different polymer feedstock shapes, characterisation of micromoulding melts through thermal imaging and assessing microneedle feature replication. Industry standard polypropylene pellets and discs with different thicknesses were used for varying the amount of interfacial friction during sonication. High-speed thermal imaging and tooling containing sapphire windows were used to visualise the melt characteristics. Moulded products were characterised using laser-scanning confocal microscopy to quantify microneedle replication. The study demonstrates that (i) the interfacial area for the different feedstock shapes affects the heating in ultrasonic micro-injection moulding significantly, (ii) disc-shaped feedstocks result in initially higher flow front velocities and exhibit dominance of viscoelastic heating over interfacial friction and (iii) industrial pellet feedstocks provide a good combination interfacial friction and viscoelastic heating and more viscosity reduction in overall leading to better microreplication efficiency. The results presented could have a significant impact on the process development of ultrasonic micro-injection moulding where process repeatability can be improved by controlling the interfacial friction. The research provides an essential contribution to the development of this process, where interfacial frictional heating can be tailored specifically for miniature functional components, offering improved precision and reduced energy use when compared with conventional methods.
Insights into In Situ Benthic Caging Tests for Ecotoxicity Assessments Targeting Discharging Groundwater Contaminant Plumes
Authors: Roy J. W. , Grapentine L. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWhile in situ toxicity testing with caged organisms has been used to assess surface water and sediment contamination, no successful application to benthic organisms exposed to highly contaminated groundwater plumes discharging to surface waters has been reported. The objective of this study was to demonstrate and evaluate this application using four sets of tests performed at three previously reported contaminated groundwater sites, which include one river site affected by volatile organic contaminant plumes, and two sites, one pond and one small urban stream, impacted by landfill plumes. The study examined multiple cage designs and orientations and two test organisms: an amphipod (Hyalella azteca) and midge larvae (Chironomus riparius; only one study). Cages were deployed for between 5 and 28 days and assessed for organism survival and growth. At all sites and for some deployment conditions, cages exposed to high contaminant concentrations in the plume footprint had greater mortality compared to those exposed to lower or background concentrations. Organism growth was less clear as a metric of toxicity. Vertically oriented cages typically showed high mortality to plume contaminants, but some were also affected by other non-target groundwater conditions (e.g., low dissolved oxygen, other contaminant sources), while horizontally oriented cages were rarely responsive to either groundwater influence. A hybrid cage design showed much promise in its single study. Useful observations on the test organisms and on potentially problematic site conditions were also made. The informed use of in situ toxicity cages could be an additional beneficial tool for groundwater contaminated site assessments.
Selective in vitro Synergistic Evaluation of Probiotic Tolerant morpholinyl- and 4-ethylpiperazinyl-Imidazole-chalcone Derivatives on Gastrointestinal System Pathogens
Authors: Söylemez Tuncay , Kaplancıklı Zafer Asım , Osmaniye Derya , Özkay Yusuf , Demirci Fatih 
Published: July 2024

AbstractImidazole-chalcone compounds are recognised for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. Probiotic-friendly, selective new-generation antimicrobials prove to be more efficient in combating gastrointestinal system pathogens. The aim of this study is to identify imidazole-chalcone derivatives that probiotics tolerate and evaluate their in vitro synergistic antimicrobial effects on pathogens. In this study, fifteen previously identified imidazole-chalcone derivatives were analyzed for their in vitro antimicrobial properties against gastrointestinal microorganisms. Initially, the antimicrobial activity of pathogens was measured using the agar well diffusion method, while the susceptibility of probiotics was determined by microdilution. The chosen imidazole-chalcone derivatives were assessed for synergistic effects using the checkerboard method. Four imidazole-chalcone derivatives to which probiotic bacteria were tolerant exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activity against the human pathogens tested. To our knowledge, this study is the first to reveal the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) of combinations of imidazole-chalcone derivatives. Indeed, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for morpholinyl- (ZDO-3f) and 4-ethylpiperazinyl- (ZDO-3 m) imidazole-chalcones were notably low when tested against E. coli and B. subtilis, with values of 31.25 μg/mL and 125 μg/mL, respectively. The combination of morpholinyl- and 4-ethylpiperazinyl derivatives demonstrated an indifferent effect against E. coli, but an additive effect was observed for B. subtilis. Additionally, it was observed that imidazole-chalcone derivatives did not exhibit any inhibitory effects on probiotic organisms like Lactobacillus fermentum (CECT-5716), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (GG), and Lactobacillus casei (RSSK-591). This study demonstrates that imidazole-chalcone derivatives that are well tolerated by probiotics can potentially exert a synergistic effect against gastrointestinal system pathogens.

Abstract
Key message
QTL mapping combined with genome-wide association studies, revealed a potential candidate gene for resistance to northern leaf blight in the tropical CATETO-related maize line YML226, providing a basis for marker-assisted selection of maize varieties

Abstract
Northern leaf blight (NLB) is a foliar disease that can cause severe yield losses in maize. Identifying and utilizing NLB-resistant genes is the most effective way to prevent and control this disease. In this study, five important inbred lines of maize were used as parental lines to construct a multi-parent population for the identification of NLB-resistant loci. QTL mapping and GWAS analysis revealed that QTL qtl_YML226_1, which had the largest phenotypic variance explanation (PVE) of 9.28%, and SNP 5-49,193,921 were co-located in the CATETO-related line YML226. This locus was associated with the candidate gene Zm00001d014471, which encodes a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein. In the coding region of Zm00001d014471, YML226 had more specific SNPs than the other parental lines. qRT-PCR showed that the relative expressions of Zm00001d014471 in inoculated and uninoculated leaves of YML226 were significantly higher, indicating that the expression of the candidate gene was correlated with NLB resistance. The analysis showed that the higher expression level in YML226 might be caused by SNP mutations. This study identified NLB resistance candidate loci and genes in the tropical maize inbred line YML226 derived from the CATETO germplasm, thereby providing a theoretical basis for using modern marker-assisted breeding techniques to select genetic resources resistant to NLB.
Radiopalmar ganglion cysts: prevalence, morphology, and clinical significance in wrist MRI
Authors: Goller Sophia S. , Kajdi Georg W. , Feuerriegel Georg C. , Sutter Reto 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Objectives
To assess radiopalmar ganglion cysts’ (RPG) prevalence, morphology, and clinical significance in consecutive patients.

Materials and methods
In this retrospective single-center study, two radiologists assessed the presence of RPG and morphologic features on wrist MRI. Radiopalmar complaints and scapholunate ligament (SLL) tears were evaluated.

Results
A total of 1053 wrists in 909 patients (mean age 43.4 ± 15.5 years, 602 females) were evaluated. All 308 RPG (Group 1; 308 patients, 29.2%) originated from the palmar capsule; 49 were unilocular, 95 oligolocular, and 164 multilocular; 745 wrists had no RPG (Group 2; 601 patients). One hundred and twenty-six RPG showed internal debris. The mean diameter was 8.5 ± 5.6 mm (cranio-caudal) (1.0–32.9 mm), 8.0 ± 4.1 mm (medio-lateral) (1.0–31.9 mm), and 3.7 ± 2.3 mm (dorso-palmar) (0.4–16.0 mm). 168 RPG showed direct contact with the radial vascular bundle, 24 with the flexor carpi radialis tendon, and 123 with the flexor pollicis longus tendon. In Group 1, significantly more patients showed partial (82/308) [group 2: 45/745, p < 0.001] or complete SLL tears (22/308) [group 2: 20/745, p < 0.001]. Of the patients with RPG, 15.3% presented with radiopalmar complaints. Only the dorso-palmar RPG diameter was positively correlated with radiopalmar complaints (for readers 1 and 2: rs = 0.66/0.61, p < 0.001, respectively), and the best dorso-palmar diameter cut-off value for the probability of having radiopalmar complaints was defined at 3 mm (area under the curve (AUC) 0.74). Other morphologic features were not eligible to discriminate symptomatic patients (AUC range 0.53–0.61).

Conclusion
This study found RPG in 29% of patients, most of them asymptomatic. However, a dorso-palmar cyst diameter > 3 mm may be clinically significant.

Clinical relevance statement
Radiopalmar ganglion cysts, observed in 29% of wrist MR examinations, are mostly asymptomatic, but those with a larger dorso-palmar diameter may be associated with radiopalmar complaints.

Key Points

Radiopalmar ganglion cysts are found in 29% of patients undergoing wrist MRI.

Most patients with evidence of radiopalmar ganglion cysts do not show radiopalmar symptoms (85%).

A dorso-palmar cyst diameter > 3 mm may be associated with radiopalmar complaints.
Boundary parameter matching for isogeometric analysis using Schwarz–Christoffel mapping
Authors: Ji Ye , Möller Matthias , Yu Yingying , Zhu Chungang 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIsogeometric analysis has brought a paradigm shift in integrating computational simulations with geometric designs across engineering disciplines. This technique necessitates analysis-suitable parameterization of physical domains to fully harness the synergy between Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Engineering analyses. Existing methods often fix boundary parameters, leading to challenges in elongated geometries such as fluid channels and tubular reactors. This paper presents an innovative solution for the boundary parameter matching problem, specifically designed for analysis-suitable parameterizations. We employ a sophisticated Schwarz–Christoffel mapping technique, which is instrumental in computing boundary correspondences. A refined boundary curve reparameterization process complements this. Our dual-strategy approach maintains the geometric exactness and continuity of input physical domains, overcoming limitations often encountered with the existing reparameterization techniques. By employing our proposed boundary parameter matching method, we show that even a simple linear interpolation approach can effectively construct a satisfactory analysis-suitable parameterization. Our methodology offers significant improvements over traditional practices, enabling the generation of analysis-suitable and geometrically precise models, which is crucial for ensuring accurate simulation results. Numerical experiments show the capacity of the proposed method to enhance the quality and reliability of isogeometric analysis workflows.
Stillbirth in women with Type 1 Diabetes mellitus—still a current topic
Authors: Dargel Susanne , Westphal Jana , Kloos Christof , Schleußner Ekkehard , Weschenfelder Friederike , Groten Tanja 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Compared to the general stillbirth rate in Germany for term deliveries of 0.12% the risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus is reported to be up to ten times higher. The reasons for this excess risk of intrauterine demise are still not fully elucidated. Risk factors named in the literature include poor glycemic control before and during pregnancy and the occurrence of ketoacidosis. Additionally there might be a diabetes related type of placental dysfunction leading to organ failure in late pregnancy. Understanding the underlying causes is mandatory to develop strategies to reduce the incidences. The Purpose of this publication is to point out the difficulties in prediction of intrauterine death in pregnant type 1 diabetes patients and thus emphasizing the necessity of constant awareness to all caregivers.

Methods
We present a case series of four cases of stillbirth that occurred in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus at our tertiary care obstetric unit during a five-year period.

Results
In all four presented cases the underlying cause of intrauterine demise was different and we could not find a common mechanism or risk profile. Furthermore, established monitoring tools did not become peculiar to raise awareness. We compared our cases to published data. Underlying causes of intrauterine death in type 1 diabetes are discussed in the light of the current literature.

Conclusions
The main risk factors of stillbirth in diabetic pregnancies are high maternal blood glucose levels including pre-conceptional HbA1c and diabetic ketoacidosis. Late acute placental insufficiency are associated with intrauterine death in type 1 diabetes. Despite the elevated risk of near term intrauterine demise there are currently no guidelines on how to monitor pregnancies in type 1 diabetes for fetal distress during the third trimester. Established thresholds for fetal Doppler data indicating fetal distress in normal and growth restricted fetuses may not be applicable for overgrown fetuses. Future research on how to monitor the diabetic fetus needs to be initiated.

Abstract
Introduction
United States stroke systems are increasingly transitioning from alteplase (TPA) to tenecteplase (TNK). Real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of replacing TPA with TNK before large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke endovascular treatment (EVT) are lacking.

Methods
Four Pennsylvania stroke systems transitioned from TPA to TNK during the study period 01/2020–06/2023. LVO stroke patients who received intravenous thrombolysis with TPA or TNK before EVT were reviewed. Multivariate logistic analysis was conducted adjusting for age, sex, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), occlusion site, last-known-well-to-intravenous thrombolysis time, interhospital-transfer and stroke system.

Results
Of 635 patients, 309 (48.7%) received TNK and 326 (51.3%) TPA prior to EVT. The site of occlusion was the M1 middle cerebral artery (MCA) (47.7%), M2 MCA (25.4%), internal carotid artery (14.0%), tandem carotid with M1 or M2 MCA (9.8%) and basilar artery (3.1%). A favorable functional outcome (90-day mRS ≤ 2) was observed in 47.6% of TNK and 49.7% of TPA patients (p = 0.132). TNK versus TPA groups had similar rates of early recanalization (11.9% vs. 8.4%, p = 0.259), successful endovascular reperfusion (93.5% vs. 89.3%, p = 0.627), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (3.2% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.218) and 90-day all-cause mortality (23.1% vs. 21.5%, p = 0.491).

Conclusions
This U.S. multicenter real-world clinical experience demonstrated that switching from TPA to TNK before EVT for LVO stroke resulted in similar endovascular reperfusion, safety, and functional outcomes.

Authors: Anand Shalya , Visser Anita , Epstein Joel B. , Jalovcic Djenana 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The number of older people with poor oral health diagnosed with cancer is increasing rapidly. However, integration of oral health in cancer care for older people to prevent or minimize oral health complications of cancer treatments is uncommon, except in head and neck oncology. The aim of this review is to describe the need, role of, and factors influencing the integration of oral health(care) into the treatment of older people with cancer.

Methods
MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for papers published in the last 10 years that focus on oral health in older people diagnosed with cancer, the impact of oral health on cancer therapy, and integrated oral health in cancer treatment.

Results
From 523 related papers, 68 publications were included and summarized as follows: (1) oral complications associated with cancer therapies, (2) the need for oral healthcare in older people with cancer, (3) the role of integration of oral health in cancer care, and (4) influencing factors such as ageism, interprofessional education and collaborations, oral healthcare workforce, oral health literacy, and financial considerations.

Conclusion
Integration of oral healthcare is highly recommended for the overall well-being of older people with cancer to prevent, minimize, and manage complications in cancer treatment. However, oral healthcare has not been integrated in cancer care yet, except for head and neck cancers. This review identified a notable gap in the literature, highlighting the need for research on integration of oral healthcare in geriatric oncology.
