Authors: Durodolu Oluwole Olumide 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This paper argues that the psychological impact of mobile phone loss and compromised personal information necessitates a comprehensive approach to mental health and data security. It advocates for the development of robust coping strategies, including digital detox practices and enhanced security measures, to mitigate the adverse effects.

Design/methodology/approach
This position paper explores the psychological implications of mobile phone loss, particularly focusing on depression and information access anxiety resulting from compromised personal information. The paper synthesizes existing literature and theoretical frameworks to examine the multifaceted impact of mobile phone loss on mental health and proposes strategies to mitigate these effects. This paper uses a qualitative approach, analyzing data from various studies that have investigated mobile phone addiction, data breaches and the psychological effects of mobile phone loss. The analysis focuses on identifying common themes and patterns related to emotional distress, anxiety and coping mechanisms. The psychological impact is contextualized within the broader framework of digital dependency and mental health.

Findings
The phenomenon of information access anxiety, especially in the context of mobile phone loss, represents a major concern in the digital age. Information access anxiety describes the psychological distress and anxiety experienced by individuals when they are unable to access indispensable information or digital communication tools, typically due to the loss or theft of a mobile device.

Research limitations/implications
This study acknowledges several limitations that should be considered when interpreting its findings. First, the analysis is based predominantly on secondary data sources and literature reviews, which may not fully capture the nuanced experiences of individuals suffering from the psychological impacts of mobile phone loss. Future research could benefit from primary data collection, such as surveys or interviews, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

Originality/value
This position paper contributes to the burgeoning discourse surrounding the psychological ramifications of mobile phone loss, with a particular emphasis on the manifestation of depression and information access anxiety stemming from compromised personal information.

Purpose
The current study aims to develop a 3D-printed continuous metal fiber-reinforced recycled thermoplastic composite using an in-nozzle impregnation technique.

Design/methodology/approach
Recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (RABS) plastic was blended with virgin ABS (VABS) plastic in a ratio of 60:40 weight proportion to develop a 3D printing filament that was used as a matrix material, while post-used continuous brass wire (CBW) was used as a reinforcement. 3D printing was done by using a self-customized print head to fabricate the flexural, compression and interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) test samples to evaluate the bending, compressive and ILSS properties of the build samples and compared with VABS and RABS-B samples. Moreover, the physical properties of the samples were also analyzed.

Findings
Upon three-point bend, compression and ILSS testing, it was found that RABS-B/CBW composite 3D printed with 0.7 mm layer width exhibited a notable improvement in maximum flexural load (Lmax), flexural stress at maximum load (sfmax), flex modulus (Ef) and work of fracture (WOF), compression modulus (Ec) and ILSS properties by 30.5%, 49.6%, 88.4% 13.8, 21.6% and 30.3% respectively.

Originality/value
Limited research has been conducted on the in-nozzle impregnation technique for 3D printing metal fiber-reinforced recycled thermoplastic composites. Adopting this method holds the potential to create durable and high-strength sustainable composites suitable for engineering applications, thereby diminishing dependence on virgin materials.
Re‐visible blind block network: An unsupervised seismic data random noise attenuation method
Authors: Wang Jing , Wu Bangyu , Yang Hui , Li Bo 
Published: July 2024

AbstractNoise is inevitable when acquiring seismic data, and effective random noise attenuation is crucial for seismic data processing and interpretation. Training and inferencing two‐stage deep learning‐based denoising methods typically require massive noisy–clean or noisy–noisy pairs to train the network. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised seismic data denoising framework called a re‐visible blind block network. It is a training‐as‐inferencing one‐stage method and utilizes only single noisy data for denoising, thereby eliminating the effort to prepare training data pairs. First, we introduce a global masker and a corresponding mask mapper to obtain the denoised result containing all blind block information, enabling simultaneous optimization of all blind blocks via the loss function. The global masker consists of two complementary block‐wise masks. It is utilized to mask noisy data to obtain two corrupted data, which are then input into the denoising network for noise attenuation. The mask mapper samples the value of blind blocks in the denoised data and projects it onto the same channel to gather the denoised results of all blind blocks together. Second, the original noisy data are incorporated into the network training process to prevent information loss, and a hybrid loss function is employed for updating the network parameters. Synthetic and field seismic data experiments demonstrate that our proposed method can protect seismic signals while suppressing random noise compared with traditional methods and several state‐of‐the‐art unsupervised deep learning denoising techniques.
Agricultural commodity market response to Russia's withdrawal from the grain deal
Authors: Steinbach Sandro , Yildirim Yasin 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis paper assesses the response of agricultural commodity markets to Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI). Employing daily commodity‐level data and event study methods, we analyse the impact on seven agricultural commodities and four key market metrics, including futures prices, historical and implied volatility, and speculative pressure. Our findings show a statistically insignificant increase of 1.1% in agricultural futures prices within the first seven trading days following the BSGI termination. In the following days, futures prices began to decline, eventually returning to levels below those observed before the withdrawal, a pattern further underscored by our implied volatility analysis. While there is no evidence of heightened speculation, we find some evidence for treatment differences across agricultural commodities. These findings suggest that traders did not believe in the likelihood of a blockade of Black Sea grain shipments.
Housing sales and construction responses to COVID‐19: Evidence from shelter‐in‐place and eviction moratoria in the United States
Authors: Sayantani S. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe goal of this article is to analyze the county‐level impact of public policies related to COVID‐19 on the housing market in the United States. Aimed at reducing the spread of the virus, different states throughout the United States enacted nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as shelter‐in‐place (SIP) and eviction moratoria, in different months and for varied stretches throughout 2020 and 2021. SIP orders could potentially limit the ability of home‐buyers and sellers to interact as well as they could pre‐COVID, introducing frictions in the process of selling houses. Prolonged and overlapping eviction moratoria could dampen the construction of multifamily units and encourage the landlords to sell rented‐out apartments. This article attempts to investigate if and how these interventions causally impacted the county‐level housing sales and building permits approval in the United States. The article estimates the average treatment effect of these orders using a traditional generalized difference‐in‐difference estimator and a recent variation of the estimator that is more suited to multiple treatment groups with staggered treatment introductions and withdrawals. The results show that SIP is associated with significantly smaller year‐on‐year changes in sales of single‐family houses, condominiums and the collection of all residences. Selective moratoria on eviction hearings and judgments are also found to be associated with smaller year‐on‐year changes in multifamily building permit approvals.

AbstractIntroductionThe use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) over conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) for early‐stage non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been advocated, but is also debated in the literature.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we adopted a target trial emulation framework to identify eligible patients diagnosed between 2011 and 2021 using the Taiwan Cancer Registry. In the primary analysis, the overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoint, whereas incidences of lung cancer mortality and radiation pulmonary toxicity were the secondary endpoints. Extensive supplementary analyses were also conducted.ResultsWe included 351 patients in the primary analysis and found that the OS was not significantly different between the SABR (n = 290) and CFRT (n = 61) groups. The propensity score weighting adjusted hazard ratio of death was 0.75 (95% confidence interval 0.53–1.07, p = 0.118). The secondary endpoints and supplementary analyses showed no significant differences.ConclusionsThe OS of patients with early‐stage NSCLC treated with SABR was not significantly different from that of patients treated with CFRT alone. The results of the relevant ongoing clinical trials are eagerly awaited.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundPain is a common complaint among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), yet pain treatment is frequently suboptimal. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of low‐dose ketamine (LDK) as an adjunct to morphine versus morphine alone for treatment of acute pain among ED patients with and without current opioid use.MethodsAdult patients presenting with acute pain of ≥5 on a numeric rating scale (0–10) who were deemed by their treating ED physician to require intravenous opioids were randomized to receive either 0.1 mg/kg ketamine (treatment group) or isotonic saline (placebo) as an adjunct to morphine. Patients with and without current opioid use were randomized separately. Pain was measured at baseline (T0) and 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 120 min after randomization. The primary outcome was pain reduction from T0 to T10. Secondary outcomes included pain intensity over 120 min, need of rescue opioids, side effects, and patient and provider satisfaction.ResultsA total of 116 patients were included from May 2022 to August 2023. Median (IQR) age was 51 (36.5–67) years; 58% were male and 36% had current opioid use. Pain reduction from T0 to T10 was greater in the LDK group (4 [IQR 3–6]) compared to the placebo group (1 [IQR 0–2]; p = 0.001). Pain intensity was lower in the LDK group at T10, T20, and T30, compared to the placebo group. There was a higher risk of nausea, vomiting, and dissociation in the LDK group during the first 10 min.ConclusionsLDK may be effective as an adjunct analgesic to morphine for short‐term pain relief in treatment of acute pain in the ED for both patients with and without current opioid use.

Published: July 2024

AbstractUnderstanding the composition and distribution of dung beetle species across various habitat types is crucial for elucidating their ecosystem functions. Dung beetles play pivotal roles in ecological processes such as nutrient cycling, seed dispersal and parasite suppression. Despite numerous studies on the influence of habitat types on dung beetle communities, knowledge gaps persist, particularly on how these beetles respond to different vegetation types in protected areas. In this study, we surveyed dung beetle species in Nyerere National Park, Tanzania, using baited pitfall traps across four habitat types: closed miombo woodland, open miombo woodland, marshland and riverine. We identified a total of 5534 individuals representing 63 species, 29 genera and nine tribes. Significant variations in species diversity were observed among the habitats, with the closed miombo woodland exhibiting the highest diversity and the open miombo woodland the lowest. Notably, certain species, such as Euoniticellus intermedius, Euonthophagus carbonarius, Gymnopleurus ignites, Onitis alexis, Onthophagus, Onthophagus vinctus, Onthophagus plebejus and Sisyphus goryi displayed a generalist distribution across all habitat types. Our findings underscore the critical importance of maintaining and conserving the quality of diverse habitat types to ensure the long‐term preservation of dung beetle biodiversity and the ecosystem services they provide. This study contributes valuable insights into dung beetle ecology and offers practical implications for ecosystem management and conservation strategies.
Conceptualizing transgender experiences in psychology: Do we have a ‘true’ gender?
Authors: Jackson Emma F. , Bussey Kay 
Published: July 2024

AbstractPsychological research has acknowledged that the commonly accepted definitions of ‘transgender’, ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ within psychological research have resulted in limitations in accounting for the lived realities of transgender individuals. Such limitations include, but are not limited to, the continued pathologization of transgender experiences through idealizing sex and gender congruence and incapacity to account for non‐normative and non‐binary transition pathways. This paper provides a review of these limitations to first demonstrate how the incongruence definition of ‘transgender’ is reliant on the idea of a ‘true’ gender, and next suggest that problematising the idea of a ‘true’ gender allows new conceptions of transgender experiences to be advanced. To undertake this problematization, the work of Judith Butler and Sara Ahmed is used to consider how gender could be conceptualized otherwise in psychology and then applied to transgender experiences. In all, this paper theorizes transgender experiences without a reliance on the assertion of a true gender, to suggest instead a focus on contextualized transgender experiences. Last, the limitations and implications of this definition of transgender are briefly discussed. Overall, transgender experiences are conceptualized as those experiences that run counter to the dominant (re)production of binary sexed gender.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study examines the impact of fiscal autonomy (FAP) on public expenditure performance across 18 Indian states from 2010–11 to 2019–20. We develop a measure of public expenditure performance using social indicators. We also measure FAP using revenue‐expenditure ratio. Based on system generalized method of moments, the empirical result confirms that a higher FAP given to Indian states is associated with greater fiscal performance. Further, the robustness check reveals that central transfer insignificantly affects the expenditure performance of Indian states.

AbstractBackground and PurposeNew psychoactive substances such as N‐ethylpentylone (NEP) are continuously emerging in the illicit drug market, and knowledge of their effects and risks, which may vary between sexes, is scarce. Our present study compares some key effects of NEP in male and female mice.Experimental ApproachPsychostimulant, rewarding and reinforcing effects were investigated by tracking locomotor activity, conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm and through a self‐administration (SA) procedure, respectively, in CD1 mice. Moreover, the expression of early genes (C‐fos, Arc, Csnk1e, Pdyn, Pp1r1b and Bdnf in addiction‐related brain areas) was assessed by qPCR. Finally, serum and brain levels of NEP were determined by UHPLC‐MS/MS.Key ResultsNEP‐treated males experimented locomotor sensitisation and showed higher and longer increases in locomotion as well as higher hyperthermia after repeated administration than females. Moreover, while preference score in the CPP was similar in both sexes, extinction occurred later, and reinstatement was more easily established for males. Female mice self‐administered more NEP than males at a higher dose. Differences in early gene expression (Arc, Bdnf, Csnk1e and Ppp1r1b) were found, but the serum and brain NEP levels did not differ between sexes.Conclusion and ImplicationsOur results suggest that male mice are more sensitive to NEP psychostimulant and rewarding effects. These differences may be attributed to different early gene expression but not to pharmacokinetic factors. Moreover, males appear to be more vulnerable to the hyperthermic effects of NEP, while females might be more prone to NEP abuse.

AbstractThe development of resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells limits the effectiveness of sorafenib, but combination therapy with other drugs may have a positive effect. However, the effect of ropivacaine combined with sorafenib on the treatment of HCC cells and its potential regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. The proliferation and apoptosis of HCC cells treated with ropivacaine, sorafenib, and ropivacaine plus sorafenib were analyzed by cell‐counting kit 8 and flow cytometry. The protein levels were measured by Western blot. The antitumor effect of ropivacaine, sorafenib, and their combination was verified by a tumor xenograft model. Ropivacaine and sorafenib markedly impeded the viability of HCC cells in a concentration‐dependent manner. Compared with ropivacaine or sorafenib treatment alone, ropivacaine and sorafenib combination treatment impeded HCC cell proliferation, facilitated apoptosis, enhanced cleaved caspase‐3, cleaved caspase‐9, and cyclin D1 protein expression, while it reduced IL‐6 and p‐STAT3 expression and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Importantly, the activation of the IL‐6/STAT3 pathway could reverse the repressive or stimulative effects of ropivacaine and sorafenib on the proliferation and apoptosis in HCC cells. In summary, ropivacaine synergistically induces sorafenib‐stimulated apoptosis of HCC cells via the IL‐6/STAT3 pathway. Ropivacaine is a potential drug for the treatment of HCC when combined with sorafenib.

AbstractAimsSpinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) is a rare genetic ataxia that impacts the entire brain and is characterized as a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the neural network. This study explores how alterations in the functional hierarchy, connectivity, and structural changes within specific brain regions significantly contribute to the heterogeneity of symptom manifestations in patients with SCA3.MethodsWe prospectively recruited 51 patients with SCA3 and 59 age‐and sex‐matched healthy controls. All participants underwent comprehensive multimodal neuroimaging and clinical assessments. In SCA3 patients, an innovative approach utilizing gradients in resting‐state functional connectivity (FC) was employed to examine atypical patterns of hierarchical processing topology from sensorimotor to supramodal regions in the cerebellum and cerebrum. Coupling analyses of abnormal FC and structural connectivity among regions of interest (ROIs) in the brain were also performed to characterize connectivity alterations. Additionally, relationships between quantitative ROI values and clinical variables were explored.ResultsPatients with SCA3 exhibited either compression or expansion within the primary sensorimotor‐to‐supramodal gradient through four distinct calculation methods, along with disruptions in FC and structural connectivity coupling. A comprehensive correlation was identified between the altered gradients and the clinical manifestations observed in patients. Notably, altered fractional anisotropy values were not significantly correlated with clinical variables.ConclusionAbnormal gradients and connectivity in the cerebellar and cerebral cortices in SCA3 patients may contribute to disrupted motor‐to‐supramodal functions. Moreover, these findings support the potential utility of FCG analysis as a biomarker for diagnosing SCA3 and assessing treatment efficacy.

AbstractAimsApply established cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum biomarkers and novel combined indicators based on the amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration (ATN) framework to improve diagnostic and prognostic power in patients with rapidly progressive dementias (RPDs).MethodsCSF and serum biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) common neuropathology including Aβ42, Aβ40, p‐Tau, and t‐Tau were measured in cognitively normal (CN) controls (n = 33) and three RPD groups with rapidly progressive AD (rpAD, n = 23), autoimmune encephalitis (AE, n = 25), and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD, n = 28). Logistic regression and multiple linear regression were used for producing combined indicators and prognostic assessment, respectively, including A&T, A&N, T&N, A&T&N, etc.ResultsCombined diagnostic indicator with A&T&N had the potential for differentiating AE from other types of RPDs, identifying 62.51% and 75% of AE subjects based on CSF and serum samples, respectively, compared to 39.13% and 37.5% when using autoantibodies. CSF t‐Tau was associated with survival in the CJD group (adjusted R‐Square = 0.16, p = 0.02), and its prognosis value improved when using combined predictors based on the ATN framework (adjusted R‐Square = 0.273, p = 0.014).ConclusionCombined indicators based on the ATN framework provide a novel perspective for establishing biomarkers for early recognition of RPDs due to treatment‐responsive causes.
