Published: July 2024

AbstractThe opacity/transparency, color, and production of designs in Changsha ware, a Tang dynasty Chinese stoneware renowned for its polychromy and pioneering high‐temperature red glaze, are studied by analyzing the composition, micro/nanostructure, and copper/iron speciation. The results shed new light on some of the most debated questions about Changsha ware. In particular, the role of glaze thickness, composition, and firing conditions on the coexistence of transparent and opaque glazes and of oxidized green and reduced red copper designs on the same object, and on the reason for the development of either green or turquoise colors. New data obtained by reproducing a copper red overglaze and underglaze painting with a similar glaze composition and thickness have provided new insights into the origin of the first high‐temperature copper reds and, in the absence of essential knowledge, their discontinuity. This study also contributes to the long debate regarding the use of overglaze versus underglaze painting techniques.
Research on viscosities and structural characteristics of coal slags with various Al2O3 contents
Authors: Xu Renze , Wang Zhen 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe corrosion of the alumina‐based refractory in coal slags would increase the Al2O3 contents of the coal slag and the influences of that on coal slag performances need to be further considered. The effects of Al2O3 on viscosities and structures of SiO2‐MgO‐CaO‐Fe2O3‐(10–22 wt%)Al2O3 coal slags were investigated in this work. The viscosity of the coal slag increased first with increasing the content of Al2O3 from 10 wt% to 14 wt% and further declined with the addition of Al2O3 content to 22 wt%. The role of Al2O3 in the present coal slag was identified. Al2O3 mainly behaved as an acidic oxide in coal slags when the Al2O3 content was less than 14 wt%, which polymerized the slag structure and increased the viscosities, and with further addition of Al2O3 to 22 wt%, a part of Al2O3 behaved as network modifiers due to the deficiency of enough metal cations for charge compensation, which could simplify the slag networks and reduce the viscosity. The variations of slag viscosities were consistent with the change tendencies of structures analyzed by spectra techniques.
Assessing consumer perception on underwear products: Visual and tactile evaluations
Authors: Yin Wei , Xu Bugao , Yuan Xiaohong 
Published: July 2024

AbstractUnderwear is an intimate apparel with skin contact that impacts wearer's sensory experience. The visual and tactile properties of an underwear play critical roles in consumers' comfort and style considerations. This study concentrated on analyzing consumer perceptual preferences for underwear through surveys of bipolar word‐pairs describing the visual and tactile properties of underwear. A questionnaire on the word pairs was designed using semantic differential scales, and 60 selected participants were surveyed under five test modes, including visual observations and tactile explorations (such as touching, pressing, and grasping). Clustering analysis was utilized to categorize the word‐pairs into four clusters—“appearance,” “hand,” “style,” and “quality”—representing vital aspects of consumer concerns about underwear. The significance of the clusters and the test modes in assessing perceived underwear values was scrutinized, and the models to predict underwear's perceived values were established through multivariate regression analysis. It was found that consumers are likely to prioritize the “appearance” and “style” clusters over the “hand” and “quality” clusters, and the visual and grasping tests over the other tactile tests. The predictive models demonstrate high reliability in estimating the perceived values of underwear.Practical ApplicationsThe study findings highlight that, in assessing underwear products, consumers give greater importance to “appearance” and “style” than to “hand” and “quality.” In addition, the visual and grasping tests prove more effective than the other three methods (i.e., palm touching, fingertip touching, and fingertip pressing). These insights are valuable for underwear designers aiming to create marketable products. Moreover, the predictive models developed in the study exhibit high reliability, offering a valuable guide for consumer purchasing decisions. This is particularly pertinent in online shopping scenarios where the physical sensing of visual and tactile features of underwear is not possible.

ABSTRACTDue to having high market demand and consumer preference, four varieties of Anabas testudineus (indigenous, Thai, Thai‐Vietnam, and Vietnamese) have been extensively cultured in Bangladesh over the last few decades. But high similarities in their morphometric traits make population differentiation difficult. The present study used phenotypic markers for their discrimination based on traditional morphometry and truss network measurement. We conducted a study of morphometric variability through the traditional morphometry and truss network systems based on 120 specimens of four varieties of A. testudineus cultured in a coastal region of Bangladesh. Significant (p < 0.05) variation was observed in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for all the measured traits. In each of the truss network and morphometric measurements, three discriminant functions (DF) were found with 100% variability, which accounted for 89.7% and 65.7% for DF1; 9.7% and 25.7% for DF2 and 0.6% and 8.7% for DF3, respectively. In principal component analysis (PCA), four PCs were observed for traditional morphometry with a total variance of 97.44%, while in the truss network system, the total variance was 98.53% in five PCs. Overall, the investigation found four distinct stocks for indigenous, Thai, Thai × Vietnamese and Vietnamese varieties. The outcomes of this study might be useful for differentiating these four varieties of climbing perch population, genetic study, management and conservation of this fishery at home and abroad.

AbstractAimsThis study aims to evaluate the periodontal status and its changes among Japanese older adults over a 10‐year period.Methods and resultsA total of 206 dentate older adults aged 70 years who completely participated in 10 years of oral examination were included. The community periodontal index (CPI) was used to assess the gingival and periodontal pocket status, while the loss of attachment (LA) scoring system was used to report the extensive LA. A higher score in CPI (Code 3 and Code 4) and more extensive attachment loss were found in a majority of participants. During follow‐up evaluation, mean number of sextants with CPI code 4 remained stable, while CPI code 3 significantly decreased particularly in male participants. Whereas, sextants without attachment loss significantly decreased on average. The mean number of missing sextants significantly increased from 1.1 to 1.9, and 5.8% of subjects had all sextants excluded in the follow‐up.ConclusionThis study indicated that majority of the older people experienced severe periodontal disease and this condition remained stable during 10‐year period. Additionally, the incidence of tooth loss increased as individuals aged. Regular oral care and maintenance are highly recommended for older population.
A Computational Design Framework for Lubrication Interfaces With Active Micro-textures
Authors: Pekol S. , Kılınç Ö. , Temizer İ. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The major goal of the present study is to develop a computational design framework for the active control of hydrodynamically lubricated interfaces. The framework ultimately delivers an electrode distribution on an elastomeric substrate such that a voltage-controlled texture may be induced on its surface. This enables the setup to attain a desired time-dependent macroscopic lubrication response. The computational framework is based on a numerically efficient two-stage design approach. In the first stage, a topology optimization framework is introduced for determining a microscopic texture and the uniform modulation of its amplitude. The objective is to attain the targeted fluid flux or frictional traction signals based on the homogenization-based macroscopic response of the texture. As a minor goal, a novel unit cell geometry optimization feature will be developed which will enable working in a design space that is as unrestricted as possible. The obtained designs are then transferred to the second stage where the electrode distribution on a soft substrate is determined along with the voltage variation that delivers the desired amplitude variation. The first stage operates in a two-dimensional setting based on the Reynolds equation whereas the second stage operates in a three-dimensional setting based on an electroelasticity formulation. The two stages are heuristically coupled by transferring the texture topology to the electrode distribution through a projection step. The viability of such an active lubrication interface design approach is demonstrated through numerous examples that methodically investigate the central features of the overall computational framework.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Considerable advances have been made in battery safety models, but achieving predictive accuracy across a wide range of conditions continues to be challenging. Interactions between dynamically evolving mechanical, electrical, and thermal state variables make model prediction difficult during mechanical abuse scenarios. In this study, we develop a physics-based modeling approach that allows for choosing between different mechanical and electrochemical models depending on the required level of analysis. We demonstrate the use of this approach to connect cell-level abuse response to electrode-level and particle-level transport phenomena. A pseudo-two-dimensional model and simplified single-particle models are calibrated to electrical–thermal cycling data and applied to mechanically induced short-circuit scenarios to understand how the choice of electrochemical model affects the model prediction under abuse scenarios. These models are implemented using user-defined subroutines on ls-dyna finite element software and can be coupled with existing automotive crash safety models.

Authors: Thakur Rohit , Kumar Anil 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
With a particular emphasis on sustainability, this research investigates the influence of reflectance and emissivity qualities on the amount of energy used by residential buildings of a mid-rise height located in various temperature zones in India. In the first part of the study, the impacts of highly reflecting, cool roofs were evaluated using base case and proposed simulations. In the second phase, a comparison was made between the possible energy savings that may be obtained by switching from low to high solar reflective roofs. An analysis of the reflectance and emissivity characteristics of the roof was carried out with the assistance of the eQUEST simulation tool. The study findings were validated using the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) schedule for the residential building energy labeling program. According to the results, highly reflecting roofs, which have a reflectivity of 0.8 and an emissivity of 0.9, dramatically lowered cooling loads by 38% and 20% in hot and dry areas, 21–25% in composite climates, 17–25% in warm and humid climates, and 37% in colder climates. These cost-effective solutions could be applied to existing and new constructions and have the potential to provide large energy and monetary savings by improving the performance of the building envelope, which in turn contributes to efforts to make the building more environmentally friendly.

IntroductionThe association between the gut microbiome and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) is potentially partly mediated through sphingolipids, however these possible mediating mechanisms have not been investigated. We examined whether sphingolipids mediate the association between gut microbiome and T2D, using data from the Healthy Life in an Urban Setting study.Research design and methodsParticipants were of Dutch or South-Asian Surinamese ethnicity, aged 18–70 years, and without T2D at baseline. A case-cohort design (subcohort n=176, cases incident T2D n=36) was used. The exposure was measured by 16S rRNA sequencing (gut microbiome) and mediator by targeted metabolomics (sphingolipids). Dimensionality reduction was achieved by principle component analysis and Shannon diversity. Cox regression and procrustes analyses were used to assess the association between gut microbiome and T2D and sphingolipids and T2D, and between gut microbiome and sphingolipids, respectively. Mediation was tested familywise using mediation analysis with permutation testing and Bonferroni correction.ResultsOur study confirmed associations between gut microbiome and T2D and sphingolipids and T2D. Additionally, we showed that the gut microbiome was associated with sphingolipids. The association between gut microbiome and T2D was partly mediated by a sphingolipid principal component, which represents a dominance of ceramide species over more complex sphingolipids (HR 1.17; 95% CI 1.08 to 1.28; proportional explained 48%), and by Shannon diversity (HR 0.97; 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99; proportional explained 24.8%).ConclusionsThese data suggest that sphingolipids mediate the association between microbiome and T2D risk. Future research is needed to confirm observed findings and elucidate causality on a molecular level.

ObjectivesResearch trends concerning hearing loss within teen rural populations are limited and current evidence suggests that extended high-frequency audiometry can be a sensitive tool to detect subclinical hearing loss. Moreover, current research emphasises the importance of representing different ethnic populations in science. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of acquired hearing loss through conventional pure-tone (0.25–8 kHz) and extended high frequency (EHF) (9–20 kHz) audiometry in Afro-Colombian adolescents from a rural area in Colombia.DesignObservational, cross-sectional study.Participants230 Afro-Colombian adolescents aged 13–17 years who attended high school in a rural population from Cartagena, Colombia.InterventionsOtoscopic examination, conventional (0.25–8 kHz) and EHF (9–20 kHz) audiometry tests were performed during February-March 2021. Sociodemographic and associated factor questionnaires were also applied to assess probable factors associated with EHF hearing loss.Main outcome measuresPrevalence of acquired hearing loss using conventional and EHF audiometry, and factors associated with hearing loss.ResultsOf 230 adolescents who met the eligibility criteria, 133 (57.82%) were female. The mean age was 15.22 years (SD: 1.62). The prevalence of hearing loss in at least one ear assessed with conventional audiometry was 21.30% and with EHF audiometry 14.78%. The main abnormal otoscopic findings included: neotympanum (1.30%), myringosclerosis (0.87%) and monomeric scars (0.43%). Factors associated with a higher probability of EHF hearing loss found through logistic regression were older age (prevalence ratio (PR): 1.45; 95% CI 1.16 to 1.80), attending the ‘Picó’ four or more times a month (PR: 6.63; 95% CI 2.16 to 20.30), attending bars more than three times a month (PR: 1.14; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.59) and self-reported hearing difficulties (PR: 1.24; 95% CI 1.22 to 4.05).ConclusionsOur results suggest that acquired hearing loss is already widespread among this young rural population.

IntroductionSubclinical rejection (SCR) refers to the presence of acute rejection without accompanying kidney allograft dysfunction. The impact of SCR on long-term graft survival remains a subject of ongoing debate.Methods and analysisWe will perform a systematic search of databases including MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Central, from January 1995 to November 2023. We will include English-language studies involving adult kidney transplant patients who investigated SCR. We will exclude studies focused on ‘for-cause’ biopsies. Both title, abstract screening and full-text screening will be performed by two or more reviewers. The primary outcome of this study will be death-censored allograft loss. The secondary outcome will include development of subsequent rejection. For time-dependent outcomes, we will prioritise HRs and the 95% CIs. In cases where HRs are unavailable, we will calculate risk ratios based on the recorded events. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s revised tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomised trials and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for cohort studies. We will employ a random effects model. We will evaluate heterogeneity using the I2variable. We will assess publication bias by funnel plots, Begg and Mazumdar test, and Egger’s test.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval does not apply as no original data will be collected. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023463536.
Overview of global monitoring systems for the side effects and adverse events associated with medicinal cannabis use: a scoping review using a systematic approach
Authors: Wang Rebecca Qi , Bonomo Yvonne Ann , Hallinan Christine Mary 
Published: July 2024

ObjectivesThe use of cannabis-based medicine (CBM) as a therapeutic has surged in Australia over the past 5 years. Historically, the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) prohibited cannabis use in Europe, the USA, the UK and Australia, leading to legislative resistance and limited preclinical data on CBM. Existing safety monitoring systems for CBM are poorly structured and do not integrate well into the workflows of busy health professionals. As a result, postmarketing surveillance is inconsistent. This review aims to evaluate international systems for monitoring CBM side effects and adverse events.DesignTo undertake a scoping review with a systematic approach, we used the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) framework to develop keyword elements, and two search queries to maximise search sensitivity and specificity.Data sourcesSearch queries were entered into Embase and Scopus for peer-reviewed literature, and additional searches for grey literature were conducted on 23 June 2023.Eligibility criteriaWe included 54 full-text articles in the review: 39 from peer-reviewed searches, 8 from grey literature and 7 from citations of relevant texts.Data extraction and synthesisOur search yielded two main forms of monitoring systems: databases and registries. Out of the 24 monitoring systems identified, there were 10 databases and 14 registries, with databases often created by regulatory authorities. Systems differed in methods of causality assessment, level of detail collected, terminology and affiliations.ResultsWithin the monitoring systems with enough published data for analysis, all except one remain active at the time of this review. VigiBase is the largest centralised monitoring system, receiving international case reports, however data heterogeneity persists.ConclusionsOur study emphasises the need for a centralised, consistent and accessible system for the postmarketing surveillance of side effects and adverse events associated with medicinal cannabis use.
Defensive healthcare practice: systematic review of qualitative evidence

Published: July 2024

ObjectiveTo synthesise qualitative evidence on clinicians’ views and experiences of defensive practice.DesignSystematic review of qualitative data.Data sourcesMEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, AMED, Maternity and Infant Care, CINAHL, ASSIA, Sociological Abstracts, Proquest Dissertations & Theses and PROSPERO were searched from 2000 to October 2023.Eligibility criteriaWe included English-language studies of clinicians which reported qualitative data on the impact of litigation or complaints on clinical practice.Data extraction and synthesisWe coded findings data line by line using a grounded theory approach. We assessed quality using Hawkeret al’s tool and synthesised data thematically.Results17 studies were included. Participants identify a range of clinical decisions which may be defensively motivated, relating to diagnosis and documentation as well as to treatment. Defensive practice often relates to a diffuse sense of risk rather than the direct threat of litigation and may overlap with other motivations, such as perceived pressure from patients or the desire to avoid harm. Defensive practice is seen to be harmful in many ways, but again, these perceptions may gain force from broader narratives of mistrust and disempowerment, as much as from the risk of litigation.ConclusionsThe idea of defensive practice, as enacted, is more complex than some theoretical accounts suggest and may often function to express broader concerns about the work of clinical care. The qualitative evidence calls into question the view of defensive practice as a key mediator linking litigation risk to inappropriate treatment and excess costs.
