AbstractThe issue of brightness in strong ambient light conditions is one of the critical obstacles restricting the application of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). Gallium nitride (GaN)-based micro-LEDs, renowned for their exceptional brightness and stability, are considered the foremost contenders for AR applications. Nevertheless, conventional heteroepitaxial growth micro-LED devices confront formidable challenges, including substantial wavelength shifts and efficiency droop. In this paper, we firstly demonstrated the high-quality homoepitaxial GaN-on-GaN micro-LEDs micro-display, and thoroughly analyzed the possible benefits for free-standing GaN substrate from the material-level characterization to device optoelectronic properties and micro-display application compared with sapphire substrate. The GaN-on-GaN structure exhibits a superior crystal quality with ultra-low threading dislocation densities (TDDs) of ~ 105 cm−2, which is three orders of magnitude lower than that of GaN-on-Sapphire. Through an in-depth size-dependent optoelectronic analysis of blue/green emission GaN-on-GaN/ Sapphire micro-LEDs from 100 × 100 shrink to 3 × 3 μm2, real that a lower forward voltage and series resistance, a consistent emission wavelength (1.21 nm for blue and 4.79 nm for green @ 500 A/cm2), coupled with a notable reduction in efficiency droop ratios (15.6% for blue and 28.5% for green @ 500 A/cm2) and expanded color gamut (103.57% over Rec. 2020) within GaN-on-GaN 10 μm micro-LEDs. Last but not least, the GaN-on-GaN micro-display with 3000 pixels per inch (PPI) showcased enhanced display uniformity and higher luminance in comparison to its GaN-on-Sapphire counterpart, demonstrating significant potentials for high-brightness AR/MR applications under strong ambient light.
Employee well-being human resource practices: a systematic literature review and directions for future research
Authors: Bhoir Monika , Sinha Vinita 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe increasing recognition of mental health, especially since COVID-19, has invoked urgent attention towards HRM and well-being of employees. Despite strong momentum in human resource management (HRM)—employee well-being (EWB) research, EWB dedicated HRM bundles remain under-researched. Thus, this article aims to contribute to the literature by reviewing advances in employee well-being HR practices (EWBHRPs) that induce conceptualization and propose a consolidated framework. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) with PRISMA 2020 for the systematic selection of 16 conceptual and empirical, peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2024. Based on the review of relevant literature, we find that HRM initiatives support EWB. Further, the study finds various viewpoints conceptualizing EWBHRPs and arrives at a constructive decision bundling essential employee well-being HRM practices, positioning it as a crucial tool instrumental for maintaining and enhancing EWB. This article outlines theoretical and practical implications for organizations to develop an HRM system that cares and offers key employee well-being practices that practicing managers and HRM professionals may adopt. The originality of this article is linked with the methodological outlook that uses the PRISMA 2020 approach, which cannot be found extensively in the sparsely investigated EWBHRPs spectrum. The study presents a framework with an exhaustive future agenda that offers a starting point for further discussion.
Audiological results of myringoplasty performed by trainee surgeons (ENT residents) under supervision—analytic study
Authors: Shasho Hamza Omar , Mohsen Samer 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Myringoplasty is one of the most common surgeries performed in otology centers, with many factors influencing the success rate, including the size and site of perforation, function of the Eustachian tube, revision surgery, and expertise of the surgeons. It is well established that the perforation closure rate is lower when performed by trainee surgeons than by senior otologists. Myringoplasty performed by trainees tends to pose more iatrogenic trauma to middle ear mucosa, less gentle manipulation of ossicles, and prolonged operation time compared with operations performed by experienced surgeons, all of which might produce more damage to middle ear structures and consequently negatively affect the closure rate of TM and audiological outcome. This study aimed to assess the audiological outcomes of successfully closed perforation myringoplasty performed by a trainee under supervision.

Methods
The study design was an analytic cross-sectional study of 35 patients aged between 6 and 62 years diagnosed with safe TM perforation. All patients had two audiograms, one before surgery and the other 3 months after surgery. The exclusion criteria included any case with cholesteatoma, tumor, tympanosclerosis, or ossicular erosion/fixation because this study aimed to study the sole effect of closing TM perforation without any other confounding factor.

Results
The results indicate a mean hearing improvement of 12.25 dB of ABG and 10.6 dB of AC thresholds at the four frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. The mean of the residual ABGs at the four frequencies is 14.2 dB. There were no correlations between the amount of air conduction threshold improvement and age, gender, side of the affected ear, area of perforation, or duration of disease (p > 0.05 for all tests).

Conclusion
Although the rate of perforation closure in myringoplasties performed by trainees is lower than that of experienced surgeons, the audiological outcomes of myringoplasties performed by trainees under supervision were acceptable; however, further research is recommended.

Acute Effects of Wearing a Cooling Vest after High-Intensity Running and at Rest on Energy Intake and Appetite in Young Men
Authors: LI GE , WATANABE DAIKI , MIYACHI MOTOHIKO 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Body cooling during and after exercise stimulates energy intake (EI). Cooling vests can also reasonably decrease body temperature under various sport occasions. This study examined the acute effects of wearing a cooling vest on EI and appetite after exercise and rest.

Methods
Fifteen healthy young men underwent four trials randomly in a thermoneutral room (~24°C, ~40% humidity). In two exercise trials, participants performed a 60-min run at 75% of maximum oxygen uptake and wore a cooling vest (ExC) or thermoneutral vest (ExN) from 1030 to 1130 h. In two resting trials, participants rested for 60 min and wore a cooling vest (RC) or a thermoneutral vest (RN) from 1030 to 1130 h. From 1130 h, participants consumed a buffet meal until satiety. EI was calculated from the buffet meal. Skin and rectal temperatures were assessed between 0930 and 1130 h.

Results
EI was significantly higher in the ExC trial (1740 ± 642 kcal) than in the ExN trial (1584 ± 604 kcal) and higher in the RC trial (1879 ± 806 kcal) than in the RN trial (1726 ± 806 kcal). Hot food consumption was significantly higher in the ExC trial than in the ExN trial and higher in the RC trial than in the RN trial. Subjective hunger was significantly higher in the ExC trial than in the ExN trial. Lower rectal temperatures were associated with higher relative EI (β = −8.871, P < 0.001).

Conclusions
Wearing a cooling vest increased EI after exercise or rest and increased subjective appetite only after exercise. Increased EI may result from a preference for hot foods altered by a cooling vest.

Published: August 2024

Background: Nursing students often face anxiety and cognitive overload, leading to high attrition rates; meanwhile, traditional pastoral interventions have proved insufficient. A novel, digitally enhanced learning environment named The Wellbeing in Student Education (WISE) Room, was introduced as an alternative at a UK university. Aims: This study investigated the impact of The WISE Room, a 4m × 4m digital platform containing touch-interactive walls, co-created with students and academic staff, designed to promote insight through immersive experiences beyond traditional learning settings. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted, collecting data from nursing students, healthcare staff and academic faculty. Data were collected at three stages, each corresponding with the iterative development of The WISE Room, including an evaluation of the intervention. Results: Feedback from 240 participants was positive. In Phase 2 of the study, 93% of the 79 students and 21 staff who visited the room and completed a survey were satisfied with the room's suitability in three key areas: emotional wellbeing, academic readiness, and placement preparedness. Conclusion: The WISE Room has proved effective in supporting nursing students’ wellbeing, and educational and placement preparation requirements. Its multisensory, digital and experiential nature is beneficial for students throughout their learner journey. Additional trials and content development will be required to enhance the learning and teaching experience further.

We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA, 258:187-194, 1997. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic polynomial $f(\lambda)$ with degree $n$. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution $X\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ of the polynomial matrix equation $p(X) = A.$ Specifically, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for $f(p(\lambda))$ to have a factor of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}.$
INTERFERE, short-time Fourier-transform-based compression of complex-valued holograms with bit depth and range-adaptive quantization

Published: August 2024

With digital holographic display and recording setups steadily improving and the advent of realistic super-high-resolution holograms (>100 megapixels), the efficient compression of digital holograms (DHs) becomes an urgent matter. Therefore, JPEG Pleno holography is undergoing a standardization effort to address this challenge. The accepted, current baseline coding solution for lossy compression of complex-valued DHs, entitled INTERFERE, is presented in this paper. Its features include a simple and modular overall architecture, high scalability, view-selective coding, low decoder complexity, and the highest rate-distortion performance among state-of-the-art solutions. We also introduce, to our knowledge, a novel meta-quantization strategy that can be used for signals exhibiting large variations in dynamic range in the domain being quantized. We were able to demonstrate on the versatile JPEG Pleno hologram database BD-rate reductions between 16% and 272% (average of 119%) over HEVC for achieving an SNR in the range 5–25 dB. With this first compression standard on DHs, we hope to provide an essential building block for their future commercialization in large-scale consumer markets.

Background
Tanzania has made significant progress in improving access to HIV care and treatment. However, virologic suppression among people living with HIV (PLHIV) has not been fully realized. In March 2019, Tanzania introduced a World Health Organization (WHO)—recommended dolutegravir-based regimen as the default first-line regimen. Eighteen months later we investigated the HIV viral suppression rates and the factors associated with lack of viral suppression among PLHIV (children and adults) in Tanzania.

Methodology
A cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to December 2020 among PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Tanzania. Whole blood samples, demographic data and clinical information were obtained from eligible adults (≥15 years) and children (< 15 years) attending thirty-six HIV care and treatment centres located in 22 regions of Tanzania mainland. A whole blood sample from each participant was processed into plasma and HIV viral load was estimated using real-time PCR. HIV viral suppression was defined at a cut-off of < 50 copies/mL as recommended by WHO. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics to establish the national representative prevalence of viral suppression, and logistic regression analyses to determine independent factors associated with non-suppression.

Results
A total of 2,039 PLHIV on ART were recruited; of these, adults and children were 57.5% (n = 1173) and 42.5% (n = 866), respectively. Among the adult population, the mean age and standard deviation (SD) was 42.1 ± 12.4 years, with 64.7% being female. Among children, the mean age and SD were 9.6 ± 3 years, and 53.2% were female. Overall viral suppression at < 50 copies/mL (undetectable) was achieved in 87.8% of adults and 74.4% of children. Adults and children on dolutegravir-based regimen recorded viral suppression rates of 89.7% and 85.1% respectively. Factors independently associated with lack of viral suppression status in the adult population were age and ART adherence while in the children population, the factors were sex, ART adherence, and current ART regimen (p<0.05).

Conclusion
Dolutegravir-based regimens are promising to help attain epidemic control in Tanzania. More efforts especially on ART adherence are needed to attain optimal treatment outcomes for children and adults PLHIV in Tanzania.

Background
Although DBT is the standard initial imaging modality for women with focal breast symptoms, the importance of ultrasound has grown rapidly in the past decades. Therefore, the Breast UltraSound Trial (BUST) focused on assessing the diagnostic value of ultrasound and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for the evaluation of breast symptoms by reversing the order of breast imaging; first performing ultrasound followed by DBT. This side-study of the BUST evaluates patients’ perceptions of ultrasound and DBT in a reversed setting.

Methods
After imaging, 1181/1276 BUST participants completed a survey consisting of open and closed questions regarding both exams (mean age 47.2, ±11.74). Additionally, a different subset of BUST participants (n = 29) participated in six focus group interviews 18–24 months after imaging to analyze their imaging experiences in depth.

Results
A total of 55.3% of women reported reluctance to undergoing DBT, primarily due of pain, while the vast majority also find bilateral DBT reassuring (87.3%). Thematic analysis identified themes related to 1) imaging reluctance (pain/burden, result, and breast harm) and 2) ultrasound and DBT perceptions. Regarding the latter, the theme comfort underscores DBT as burdensome and painful, while ultrasound is largely perceived as non-burdensome. Ultrasound is also particularly valued for its interactive nature, as highlighted in the theme interaction. Perceived effectiveness reflects women’s interest in bilateral breast evaluation with DBT and the visibility of lesions, while they express more uncertainty about the reliability of ultrasound. Emotional impact portrays DBT as reassuring for many women, whereas opinions on the reassurance provided by ultrasound are more diverse. Additional themes include costs, protocols and privacy.

Conclusions
Ultrasound is highly tolerated, and particularly valued is the interaction with the radiologist. Nearly half of women express reluctance towards DBT; nevertheless, a large portion report feeling more confident after undergoing bilateral DBT, reassuring them of the absence of abnormalities. Understanding patients’ perceptions of breast imaging examinations is of great value when optimizing diagnostic pathways.

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of combined intermittent fasting (IF) and high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) on morphology, caspase‐independent apoptosis signaling pathway, and myostatin expression in soleus and gastrocnemius (white portion) muscles from healthy rats. Sixty‐day‐old male Wistar rats (n = 60) were divided into four groups: control (C), IF, high‐intensity‐interval training (T), and high‐intensity‐interval training and intermittent fasting (T‐IF). The C and T groups receivedad libitumchow daily; IF and T‐IF received the same standard chow every other day. Animals from T and T‐IF underwent a HIIT protocol five times a week for 12 weeks. IF reduced gastrocnemius mass and increased pro‐apoptotic proteins apoptosis‐inducing factor (AIF) and endonuclease G (EndoG) in soleus and cleaved‐to‐non‐cleaved PARP‐1 ratio and myostatin expression in gastrocnemius white portion. HIIT increased AIF and apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain expression in soleus and cleaved‐to‐total PARP‐1 ratio in gastrocnemius muscle white portion. The combination of IF and HIIT reduced fiber cross‐sectional area in both muscles, increased EndoG and AIF expression, and decreased cleaved‐to‐non‐cleaved PARP‐1 ratio in gastrocnemius muscle white portion. Muscle responses to IF and HIIT are directly impacted by the muscle fiber type composition and are modulated, at least in part, by myostatin and caspase‐independent apoptosis signaling.

Authors: Fernández-Landázuri Sara , Baeza-Trinidad Ramón , Bernardo González Iván 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Unexplained B12 hypervitaminosis (HB12) in asymptomatic patients leads to a cascade of medical consultations and diagnostic tests aimed at determining its etiology. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the laboratory getting involved in the detection and elimination of immune complexes with vitamin B12 in clinical practice and its economic impact.

Methods
A retrospective longitudinal study was undertaken to assess the laboratory strategy of detecting B12 macrovitamin (macro-B12) in patients with HB12 >1,000 pg/mL. The clinical characteristics of patients with HB12 referred to Internal Medicine (IM) in the pre- and post-implantation period of the new strategy were compared. Additionally, the healthcare costs of one-year follow-up were estimated.

Results
The prevalences of HB12 in the pre- and post-implantation period were 3.9 % and 3 %, respectively. Macro-B12 explained 25 % of the HB12 cases initially detected. A 41 % reduction was observed in the number of patients with HB12 after the implantation of the new strategy, thereby resulting in a cost reduction of 5,000 €.

Conclusions
The laboratory intervention for the detection of macro-B12 provides clear economic and clinical benefits in clinical practice.
