Authors: Lobo Armindo , Sampaio Paulo , Novais Paulo 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study proposes a machine learning framework to predict customer complaints from production line tests in an automotive company's lot-release process, enhancing Quality 4.0. It aims to design and implement the framework, compare different machine learning (ML) models and evaluate a non-sampling threshold-moving approach for adjusting prediction capabilities based on product requirements.Design/methodology/approachThis study applies the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) and four ML models to predict customer complaints from automotive production tests. It employs cost-sensitive and threshold-moving techniques to address data imbalance, with the F1-Score and Matthews correlation coefficient assessing model performance.FindingsThe framework effectively predicts customer complaint-related tests. XGBoost outperformed the other models with an F1-Score of 72.4% and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 75%. It improves the lot-release process and cost efficiency over heuristic methods.Practical implicationsThe framework has been tested on real-world data and shows promising results in improving lot-release decisions and reducing complaints and costs. It enables companies to adjust predictive models by changing only the threshold, eliminating the need for retraining.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, there is limited literature on using ML to predict customer complaints for the lot-release process in an automotive company. Our proposed framework integrates ML with a non-sampling approach, demonstrating its effectiveness in predicting complaints and reducing costs, fostering Quality 4.0.

Published: June 2024

AbstractErythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an inherited metabolic disease that causes painful phototoxic reactions, starting in childhood. Studies have shown a reduced quality of life (QoL) in adults with EPP, however, data on children with the disease are lacking. Since treatment for EPP is currently not registered for children, knowledge about their QoL is of crucial importance. In this prospective, case–control study, we included children from the Netherlands and Belgium diagnosed with EPP and matched to healthy controls. Previously collected EPP quality of life (EPP‐QoL) data from matched adults with EPP were used. QoL scores, utilizing the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and the disease‐specific EPP‐QoL, were collected. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher QoL. Non‐parametric tests were used to compare groups. A total of 15 cases, 13 matched healthy control children, and 15 matched adults with EPP were included. Children with EPP exhibited lower median scores in the PedsQL in both physical (cases: 87.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 77.7–96.1), controls: 99.2 [IQR 94.9–100.0], p = 0.03) and social (cases: 77.5 [IQR 69.4–86.3], controls: 97.5 [IQR 78.8–100.0], p = 0.04) domains compared to healthy children, although these differences were not statistically significant after correcting for multiple testing. The overall median EPP‐QoL score for children was similar to adults with EPP (children: 44.4 [IQR 25.0–54.2], adults: 45.8 [IQR 25.7–68.1], p = 0.68). However, within the EPP‐QoL subdomain on QoL, children were found to have significantly lower median scores (children: 16.7 [IQR 0.0–33.3], adults: 33.3 [IQR 33.3–62.5], p < 0.01). In conclusion, children with EPP experience a reduced QoL compared to both healthy children and adults with EPP. Ensuring treatment availability for this patient group is crucial for improving their QoL. We advocate the inclusion of children in safety and efficacy studies, to ensure availability of treatment in the future.
Staying with the blackout: an insecure anthropology of energy
Authors: Özden‐Schilling Canay 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn the twenty‐first century, blackouts have settled into a familiar sequence of events in the fully electrified world. After jolting publics into a sudden awareness of energy assemblages, they gradually disappear from public memory. This article is an exercise in dwelling on blackouts that have already begun to recede from public memory so as to better conceptualize ‘energy security’ as an object of anthropological critique. Examining expert reports and retrospective verbal accounts, I focus on the 2021 blackout of Texas and the 2015 nationwide blackout of Turkey. Drawing on my long‐term ethnographic work with the US electric grid, I punctuate these failures with an uneventful day at a high‐security operation building in New England. I show that the desire for security suffuses electricity assemblages, from secure buildings of operation, to governments securing passage for the electric current, to publics demanding uninterrupted electricity access. I argue that in grid experts’ imagination, energy futures hinge on securing high‐risk nodes while continually expanding grids so that potential failures might be better absorbed. This imagination, however, produces a false sense of security when contemporary threats to transmission are too wide‐ranging to isolate and will only be amplified by larger grids.
Smith v Fonterra and the Climatisation of Tort Law
Authors: Bookman Sam 
Published: June 2024

How should tort law respond to climate change? In Smith v Fonterra, New Zealand's Supreme Court provided some important answers. This note summarises the decision, and situates it within broader debates about the function of tort law and its necessary evolution in response to climate change. The Supreme Court's decision hints at possibilities for the ‘climatisation’ of tort law, and highlights the double life of tort law as both a backward‐looking mechanism of corrective justice, and a forward‐looking mechanism of risk regulation. As climate‐related harms intensify, the question will be how, rather than if, tort law evolves to meet the challenge. Smith v Fonterra may be one of the first cases to ask that question, but it will not be the last.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine skilled nursing facility (SNF) staffing shortages across job roles during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We aimed to capture the perspectives of leaders on the breadth of staffing shortages and their implications on staff that stayed throughout the pandemic in order to provide recommendations for policies and practices used to strengthen the SNF workforce moving forward.Study Setting and DesignFor this qualitative study, we engaged a purposive national sample of SNF leaders (n = 94) in one‐on‐one interviews between January 2021 and December 2022.Data Source and Analytic SampleUsing purposive sampling (i.e., Centers for Medicare & Medicaid quality rating, region, ownership) to capture variation in SNF organizations, we conducted in‐depth, semi‐structured qualitative interviews, guided a priori by the Institute of Medicine's Model of Healthcare System Framework. Interviews were conducted via phone, audio‐recorded, and transcribed. Rigorous rapid qualitative analysis was used to identify emergent themes, patterns, and relationships.Principal FindingsSNF leaders consistently described staffing shortages spanning all job roles, including direct care (e.g., activities, nursing, social services), support services (e.g., laundry, food, environmental services), administrative staff, and leadership. Ascribed sources of shortages were multidimensional (e.g., competing salaries, family caregiving needs, burnout). The impact of shortages was felt by all staff that stayed. In addition to existing job duties, those remaining staff experienced re‐distribution of essential day‐to‐day operational tasks (e.g., laundry) and allocation of new COVID‐19 pandemic‐related activities (e.g., screening). Cross‐training was used to cover a wide range of job duties, including patient care.ConclusionsPolicies are needed to support SNF staff across roles beyond direct care staff. These policies must address the system‐wide drivers perpetuating staffing shortages (i.e., pay differentials, burnout) and leverage strategies (i.e., cross‐training, job role flexibility) that emerged from the pandemic to ensure a sustainable SNF workforce that can meet patient needs.
Experimentation, privilege, and difference: The politics of do‐it‐yourself urbanism
Authors: Boswell Rachael , Collins Francis L , Kearns Robin 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe Canterbury Earthquake Sequence of 2010–2012 was devastating for Christchurch, New Zealand, a city built on a floodplain. The sequence resulted in widespread damage across the central business district (CBD) and residential areas. Alongside, and in contrast to, orthodox planning responses by the New Zealand Government, playful, creative, and temporary projects emerged in vacant spaces. These were designed to bring back life and energy to the city centre, and such types of activity are referred to by scholars as do‐it‐yourself (DIY) urbanism. A primary critique of DIY urbanism in the literature relates to how it has the potential to contribute to gentrification, despite its amateurish appearance and mildly subversive politics. In Christchurch, a venue built from pallets—known as the Pallet Pavilion—was constructed by an organisation known as “Gap Filler” with the help of volunteers. Gap Filler emerged after the first earthquake, inserting creative projects to bring back life and energy to the damaged CBD. By examining the Pallet Pavilion, we show that, despite its potentially gentrifying effects, DIY urbanism interventions may open up a more inclusive politics of the city. Also, and paradoxically, in the case of the Pallet Pavilion, the exercise of privilege made this inclusive politics possible.
Untargeted metabolomics combined with vitro antioxidant to comprehensively evaluate the effect of sodium sulfite immersion on the holistic quality of mung bean sprouts

Published: June 2024

AbstractMung bean sprouts are widely consumed as a seasonal fresh vegetable, renowned for their affordability and richness in antioxidants and bioactive compounds. This study employed ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatogram‐Q‐Exactive HF mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐QE‐MS) and multivariate statistical analysis to comprehensively evaluate the chemical profile of mung bean sprouts following sulfite immersion. The findings revealed a significant alteration in the overall chemical composition of mung bean sprouts following sodium sulfite immersion. Eleven components, including four sulfur‐containing compounds, were identified as characteristic markers distinguishing between non‐immersed and sodium sulfite‐immersed mung bean sprouts. Esterification and addition reactions were inferred to occur during sodium sulfite immersion, leading to the transformation of flavonoid and saponin sulfates. Commercial samples analysis indicated that sulfur‐containing compounds were detectable in 9 of 11 commercial mung bean sprouts. Meanwhile, when sodium sulfite concentration exceeded 3.00 mg/mL and immersion time exceeded 360 min, the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were significantly reduced and the antioxidant activity was adversely influenced.
Infusion of active compound into sliced button mushrooms through vacuum impregnation to improve functionality: Comparing response surface methodology and artificial neural network

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe present study explores the infusion of active compounds (ascorbic acid and calcium lactate) into sliced button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) to increase the nutritional value and reduce the browning effect of sliced mushrooms using the vacuum impregnation (VI) technique. The aim was to functionalize the vacuum‐infused sliced mushrooms and evaluate the physicochemical properties of button mushrooms for diversifying food use. The central composite design was implemented to determine the optimized condition for the process with four independent factors, that is, immersion time (IT) 30–90 min, solution temperature (ST) 35–55°C, solution concentration (SC) 4%–12%, and vacuum pressure (VP) 50–170 mbar. The optimum VI processes obtained were ST‐40°C, SC‐8%, VP‐140 mbar, and IT‐65 min with a desirability function of 0.77. Statistically, two models (response surface methodology [RSM] and artificial neural network [ANN]) were employed to compare the better performance for the prediction of VI operational process parameters. The RSM model showed a better prediction of VI process parameters than the ANN model, with a higher R2 value (0.9228 vs. 0.8160) and lower root mean square error value (1.4004 vs. 2.1751), χ2 (2.4491 vs. 5.2762), mean absolute error (1.1177 vs. 1.1611), and absolute average deviation (4.3532 vs. 5.6746) for water loss. A similar pattern was observed for solute gain, ascorbic acid, titratable acidity, color change, firmness, and pH. Therefore, the VI process was found to be an effective method for enhancing the nutritional properties of sliced mushrooms. These findings concluded that the RSM model is more efficient for better prediction with good accuracy of the VI process than the ANN model.

AbstractIn‐package cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) processing, which refers to the generation of CAP inside a sealed package, enables a local disinfecting reaction, allowing no post‐process contamination and extending the shelf‐life (SL) of perishable food products, such as fresh fish. In the present study, four in‐package CAP treatments, differing in frequency and processing time, were applied on fresh gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fillets, prepacked in low‐permeability pouches. Fish SL was evaluated during isothermal storage at 2°C, whereas untreated packaged fillets were used as control samples. The SL assessment of the fish fillets was based on microbial enumeration of total aerobic mesophilic count (TMC), total aerobic psychrotrophic count (TPC), Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacteriaceae, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), pH measurement, determination of color and texture parameters, lipid oxidation, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB‐N) measurement, and sensory evaluation. All CAP treatments were effective against microbial inhibition in fish fillets, especially regarding TMC, TPC, and Pseudomonas spp., resulting in maximum reduction of 1.49, 1.24, and 1.43 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to the control samples after 16 days of storage. However, minor effect was observed against Enterobacteriaceae and no effect against LAB. CAP processing did not affect the color and texture parameters of fish fillets, and TVB‐N production was slightly reduced in CAP‐treated samples; however, lipid oxidation was accelerated, especially at the more intense processing conditions, by a maximum of 75.5%. The results of the study indicated that in‐package CAP processing could be effectively applied for inhibiting spoilage during refrigerated storage and extending SL of fresh fish fillets.Practical ApplicationIn‐package cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) processing was tested on gilthead seabream fillets, a highly perishable product with high commercial potential if its shelf‐life can be extended through minimal processing. The food industry could benefit from in‐package CAP technology as it is a cost effective nonthermal processing method while preventing post‐processing contamination of the products. Although in‐package CAP processing has not been extensively tested on fish, this study examined the quality and shelf‐life of a highly perishable fish species, and the results could be further used as a reference for processing optimization of the CAP treatments.

Published: June 2024

AbstractEnzymatically converted chicken bile (CB), prepared by converting taurine deoxycholic acid (TCDCA) to taurine ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in CB, possesses various functional activities. But their nutrient composition and safety assessment have not been fully investigated yet. CB was mainly composed of proteins and steroids. CB did not show genotoxic effects based on Ames test, mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test, and in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration test. There were no growth abnormalities or deaths in the acute toxicity test for mice, indicating that CB is nontoxic with an LD50 > 10 g/kg·body weight (BW). Subchronic toxicity test and genotoxicity test were performed based on intake of 0.5 g CB per person daily at expanded doses of 33.3, 100, and 300 times (278, 833, and 2500 mg/kg·BW). The result indicated that CB at 833 mg/kg·BW showed no toxicity on BW, body weight gain, food intake, hematological, serum biochemistry, absolute/relative organ weights, urinalysis, and pathological features of rats in the subchronic toxicity test, while CB at 833 mg/kg·BW induced maternal toxicity with no fetus teratogenicity or embryotoxicity in the teratogenicity test. In conclusion, CB did not show toxic effects and a long‐term daily intake of CB at 0.5 g per person is considered safe, but pregnant women should avoid it. These findings could provide a reference for the safe use of CB in functional food.

AbstractThe deterioration of the quality of raw liquor caused by the low content of ethyl hexanoate in Nongxiangxing baijiu has become a pervasive problem in the baijiu industry. Therefore, this study attempted to increase the synthesis of ethyl hexanoate by microorganisms with high esterase activity to increase Zaopei fermentation. The results showed that biofortification was a feasible and important way to improve the quality of the raw liquor and increase the ethyl hexanoate content. Adding Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Millerozyma farinosa for biofortified fermentation disturbed the microbial community structure of Zaopei and increased the abundance of Wickerhamomyces, Saccharomyces, and Thermoascus. The contents of ethyl hexanoate, ethyl valerate, ethyl caprylate, and ethyl heptanoate also increased noticeably in baijiu. The results of E‐nose and sensory analysis tested and verified that the baijiu in the fortified group had better flavor characteristics.
