Treating Mycoplasma genitalium (in pregnancy): a social and reproductive justice concern
Authors: McKnight Ulla , Farsides Bobbie , Soni Suneeta , Will Catherine 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Antimicrobial Resistance is a threat to individual and to population health and to future generations, requiring “collective sacrifices” in order to preserve antibiotic efficacy. ‘Who should make the sacrifices?’ and ‘Who will most likely make them?’ are ethical concerns posited as potentially manageable through Antimicrobial Stewardship. Antimicrobial stewardship almost inevitably involves a form of clinical cost-benefit analysis that assesses the possible effects of antibiotics to treat a diagnosed infection in a particular patient. However, this process rarely accounts properly for patients – above and beyond assessments of potential (non)compliance or adherence to care regimes. Drawing on a vignette of a pregnant woman of colour and migrant diagnosed with Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmissible bacterium, this article draws out some of the ethical, speculative, and practical tensions and complexities involved in Antimicrobial Stewardship. We argue that patients also engage in a form of cost-benefit analysis influenced by experiences of reproductive and social (in)justice and comprising speculative variables - to anticipate future possibilities. These processes have the potential to have effects above and beyond the specific infection antimicrobial stewardship was activated to address. We contend that efforts to practice and research antimicrobial stewardship should accommodate and incorporate these variables and acknowledge the structures they emerge with(in), even if their components remain unknown. This would involve recognising that antimicrobial stewardship is intricately connected to other social justice issues such as immigration policy, economic justice, access to appropriate medical care, racism, etc.
ESG & Executive Remuneration in Europe
Authors: Dell’Erba Marco , Ferrarini Guido 
Published: July 2024

AbstractExecutive remuneration has traditionally attracted the attention of scholars, regulators, and public opinion. In recent years, especially after epochal corporate scandals and financial crises, executive remuneration has polarized the political debate, leading to consequences for the way it was theorized, structured, and ultimately quantified within corporations. This article specifically examines the relationship between executive compensation and sustainability, with a focus on the influence of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) metrics in the context of European companies. The article provides a qualitative analysis of the historical debate on executive remuneration and considers the different theories informing corporate law. Furthermore, it offers a qualitative and empirical analysis of how executive compensation policies of the 300 largest companies by target capitalization in Europe – listed in the FTSE EuroFirst300 – take ESG parameters into account. Lastly, this article presents some policy considerations, particularly questioning whether executive remuneration is the right incentive for ESG compliance, and emphasizing the importance of a shift in corporate culture to effectively make corporate practices more sustainable.
Interpretation of the Scope of International Commercial Arbitration Agreements: A Comparison of Swiss and Turkish Case Law
Authors: Önay Işık 
Published: July 2024

AbstractDetermining the extent to which parties have agreed to submit their disputes to arbitration is a matter of contract interpretation. It is very rare that an international arbitration convention or national legislation on international arbitration provides specific rules pertaining to interpretation of the scope of arbitration agreements. Therefore, general rules of contract interpretation are usually used as a starting point to construe the scope of international commercial arbitration agreements. Developing specific principles for interpretation is left to courts and arbitral tribunals. This paper focuses on the practice of courts regarding this matter in two countries, i.e., Switzerland and Turkey. The paper firstly provides an overview of the general principles adopted by the courts in the two countries. Then case law in both countries is compared and contrasted with regard to selected scenarios frequently occurring in practice. The comparison of case law reveals how courts’ differing approaches to arbitration can make a difference in practice, even where very similar rules are applied. The comparison confirms the reputation of Swiss courts for adopting a pro-arbitration approach. Turkish courts, on the other hand, seem to be more reluctant in construing the scope of international commercial arbitration agreements broadly. This paper argues that the current practice in Turkey does not reflect the legislator’s intent and courts should change their practice and adopt a more liberal approach in line with contemporary trends in international commercial arbitration practice.
Social Media Ills and Evolutionary Mismatches: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Lim Amy J. , Tan Edison 
Published: July 2024

AbstractFrom the erosion of mental well-being through incessant comparison, unrealistic portrayals, and addiction, the negative effects of social media are well-documented. However, it is necessary to move beyond the simplistic characterizations of social media as inherently either beneficial or detrimental and, instead, underscore the nuanced mechanisms that underlie its adverse outcomes. To this end, this paper delineates a conceptual framework grounded in evolutionary psychology, designed to explain the prevalent negative repercussions often linked to the utilization of social media. Specifically, we argue that these “social media ills” are manifestations of evolutionary mismatches between social media features and our evolved mechanism designed for social living. We start by reviewing how our psychological mechanisms—sociometer, social monitoring system, and social comparison—facilitate living within complex social situations and fulfill our fundamental need to belong. We then identify features of social media that may hijack these processes to produce the consequences we observe today. We have also recommended several evolutionarily informed directions policymakers and social media companies can undertake to treat social media ills at their root cause. This article concludes by discussing the theoretical implications and interventions the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis provides.
Secure electronic monitoring of sex offenders

Published: July 2024

AbstractElectronic monitoring is a viable approach to controlling sex offenders and making the environment safe for victims. Two technologies are currently being adopted: RFID and GPS. Both technologies aim to detect the proximity between the offender and the victim and alert the relevant authorities in real time. However, the security of the system adopted is a key issue, given the risk to the victim’s safety. In this paper, we analyze the existing approaches from the perspective of security, in case of possible misbehavior of the offender. The theoretical analysis shows that GPS is the best choice when high security requirements are desired. In fact, radio frequency attacks are possible for RFID, endangering the victim. However, when GPS is adopted, privacy issues become critical. In particular, when considering a victim moving around the territory, it is unacceptable to track them even with the goal of offering protection. To overcome this drawback, we propose a GPS-based solution that does not allow the victim’s location to be revealed unless the offender is nearby, thus finding a solution that advances the state of the art.
Effects of key process parameters on tensile properties and interlayer bonding behavior of 3D printed PLA using fused filament fabrication

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), also known as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), is one of the innovative 3D printing technologies for fabricating complex components and products. Mechanical properties of 3D-printed components mostly depend on intricate process parameters of 3D printing. This study experimentally investigates the effects of four key process parameters, including layer thickness, raster angle, feed rate, and nozzle temperature, on the tensile properties and interfacial bonding behaviours of FFF printed Polylactic Acid (PLA), and their failure mechanisms. The effect of the key parameters on surface roughness is also evaluated, which is critical for enhancing manufacturing and material performance, expecting to provide a potential guide for optimisation of the FFF printing process for improving product quality. The experimental results demonstrate that tensile strength improves up to 10 and 7% with increasing nozzle temperature (200 °C to 220 °C) and low feed rate (60 mm/sec to 40 mm/sec) during the 3D printing process. The tensile strength increases up to 12% with decreasing layer thickness (0.4 mm to 0.2 mm) and 40% with decreasing raster angle (90° to 0°). The experimental findings on surface roughness indicate that FFF-printed PLA samples were significantly influenced by the layer thickness and raster angle, and an improvement in surface roughness is observed with the increase of nozzle temperature and reduction in feed rate. Microstructural SEM analysis was conducted to investigate the ruptured surfaces of the FFF printed PLA samples, focusing on the interlayer bonding quality and morphological characteristics including the effect of void formation, poor adhesion, and insufficient fusion between adjacent surface contact area with the effect of printing parameters. The feed rate and nozzle temperature were found to substantially influence the interlayer bonding between two adjacent surfaces.

Radikale Orientierungen Jugendlicher vor dem Hintergrund der Entwicklung der religiösen Identität im Jugendalter
Authors: Schramm Alexandra , Stein Margit , Zimmer Veronika 
Published: July 2024

Zusammenfassung
Im Prozess der Identitätsentwicklung und der damit häufig verknüpften Erfahrung der Verunsicherung und des Zweifels sind Jugendliche besonders empfänglich für Angebote und Versprechungen der Wertschätzung und Anerkennung, wie sie häufig vermeintlich von radikalen Gruppierungen offeriert werden. Jugendliche beginnen spätestens ab der Pubertät aus all dem Wissen über sich, der Gesellschaft und der Welt ihr eigenes Selbstbild zu formen. „Ich bin, was ich bin“ beschreibt Erikson diesen Prozess. Was sie sind, erleben Jugendliche in Auseinandersetzung mit sich und ihrer sozialen Umwelt. Erleben sie hier, dass sich ihre religiöse Zugehörigkeit, welche maßgeblich zu ihrer Identität gehört und sich möglicherweise auch nach außen zeigt, subjektiv gesehen nicht mit einer gesamtgesellschaftlichen Zugehörigkeit vereinbaren lässt, wenden sie sich leicht Communities und Peers zu, in denen sie entsprechend ihres Selbstbildes Anerkennung und Wertschätzung erfahren.
Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Entwicklung der religiösen Identität im Jugendalter und potenziell dysfunktionalen Prozessen, die zu radikalen Orientierungen führen können. Basierend auf der Auswertung qualitativer Interviews mit 26 Wissenschaftler:innen aus elf der 13 Zentren und Institute für Islamische Theologie in Deutschland wird die Bedeutung der jugendlichen Phase der Identitätsbildung für Radikalisierungsprozesse herausgearbeitet. Die Auswertung der Interviews zeigt, dass die Befragten nicht adäquat gelöste Konflikte und Krisen in der Entwicklungsphase der Ausbildung einer eigenen Identität im Jugendalter als eine der wesentlichsten Ursachen für die Entwicklung von radikalen Orientierungen ausmachen und diese Entwicklung radikaler Orientierungen als einen dysfunktionalen Sozialisationsprozess verstehen. Insbesondere die Bedeutung der Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Religion und der damit verbundenen religiösen Identität bewerten die Expert:innen als zentral.
Additive manufacturing and mechanical analysis of multi-material polymer parts combining thermosets and thermoplastics
Authors: Setter Robert , Wudy Katrin 
Published: July 2024

AbstractMulti-material additive manufacturing (AM) represents one of the most promising solutions to target the contemporary demand for complex products with high individuality and inherent functionalities. Besides continuous advances in machinery and the available material spectrum, a substantial aspect of multi-material AM is still underrepresented: the simultaneous combination of thermosets and thermoplastic within a single AM process. A promising technology in this regard is the newly developed Fusion Jetting (FJ) process. This investigation focuses on the combination of acrylate-based photopolymers (thermoset) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with FJ. Tensile specimens are built with strategic variations of the process parameters and experimentally analyzed to derive beneficial processing conditions. A proof of concept is delivered by demonstrating a significant increase in Young’s modulus of TPU specimens from approximately 65 to 160 MPa through integration of photopolymer reinforcements. Further experiments regarding variable layer heights and laser powers identify an optimum layer height of 100 µm along with a tolerable laser power of 15 W for maximum mechanical properties. An overall challenging aspect of the FJ process is the presence of unwanted delamination between reinforced and non-reinforced layers. The failure mode is observed during tensile testing on multiple multi-material specimens of this investigation. The origin of delamination can be correlated to the deviation of integrated reinforcements from their originally intended dimensions as well as the unwanted crystallization within reinforced layers. First, countermeasures to minimize delamination are identified, such as decreasing the rotational increment of the laser hatch orientation from 90 to 10° per layer.

Published: July 2024

AbstractRalstonia solanacearum and R. pseudosolanacearum are well-known bacterial plant pathogens that cause significant losses to both ornamental and agricultural plants. It has been suggested that they are not the primary cause of bacterial wilt in Eucalyptus species, but rather are opportunistic, taking advantage of trees predisposed to infection by abiotic and biotic factors. To test this hypothesis, the bacterial community within the vascular tissue of asymptomatic Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla trees, and those displaying varying stages of infection in China and Indonesia were compared using 16S rRNA profiling. Asymptomatic trees growing in areas where bacterial infections had never previously been reported to occur were included as controls. Ralstonia species were found within the vascular tissue of both asymptomatic and symptomatic trees, in high abundance. In the control samples, bacterial diversity within the vascular tissue was high with a low abundance of Ralstonia species. The presence of Ralstonia species in asymptomatic and control samples supports the hypothesis that these species are latent and/or opportunistic pathogens in E. grandis x E. urophylla trees.

AbstractThis research aimed to evaluate the influence of alccofine 1203 on a mineral admixture and sodium nitrite as a corrosion inhibitor on the properties of concrete. To achieve these aims, an experimental investigation was carried out on a set of composite samples comprising five distinct concrete formulations. Five different mixes for the concrete were used as the overlay materials such as NC as a reference concrete, alccofine concrete (i.e. 25% cement replaced with alccofine), and alccofine concrete with varying dosages of sodium nitrite (i.e. 1%, 1.25%, and 1.5%). Alccofine reduced the workability and water absorption and increased the compressive strength of the concrete (5%) at curing age of 28 days. Adding sodium nitrite further reduced water absorption of the concrete and workability but compressive strength of 29.15% and 26.93% for the curing period of 3 and 7 days, respectively. The pH of the concrete powdered solution became more alkaline with the replacement of alccofine and addition of sodium nitrite. Free chloride content dropped by 48 and 66%, respectively, with the introduction of GGBS and sodium nitrite. Corrosion properties of the concrete samples were examined using open circuit potentials and linear polarization resistance of various concrete mixes after being immersed in 1 M H2SO4 and 3% NaCl environment. The findings indicated a notable improvement in the corrosion resistance, water absorption test, thermal conductivity, strength properties, and microstructural properties of concrete with the incorporation of SN in combination with alccofine. The application of the response surface method allowed for the prediction, validation, and optimization of experimental data using a regression equation.
Application and Efficacy of Virtual Sailing as an Exercise Therapy: A Narrative Review
Authors: Xiao Junhua 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The concept of virtual exercise is still a nascent domain for therapeutic intervention. In light of the importance of exercise and the fast development of digital technologies, virtual exercise possesses a promising potential for future development. Sailing is a recreational exercise that has helped the rehabilitation of patients with neurological and physiological disorders and improved their quality of life. However, challenges exist in implementing physical sailing as an intervention, due to the cost and the extent of uncertainty of this sport. While studies remain limited, over the past twenty years, simulated sailing that combines virtual reality with complex motor learning and optimum decision-making is emerging as a potential digital exercise that possesses broad therapeutic applications for future exploration. This review aims to have a more complete understanding of the clinical application of virtual sailing as an emerging exercise therapy.

Methods
Literature searches were performed using PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE bibliographic databases for research articles published from January 1994 to January 2024 (inclusive). We performed a Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis to evaluate the implementation of virtual sailing as a new therapeutic intervention, opening unanswered questions for future investigation.

Results
Out of 205 articles searched from databases, 31 advanced to full-text screening and 7 articles were eligible for inclusion in this narrative review. This review summarises the application and therapeutic efficacy of virtual sailing in improving both motor and psychosocial functions. We also shared our perspectives on developing virtual sailing as an exercise therapy for treating neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on pre-clinical and clinical evidence as well as the proposed mechanism by which virtual sailing could influence neural plasticity in the central nervous system.

Conclusion
Virtual sailing is a promising exercise therapy feasible for future implementation, although large-scale trial studies involving a diverse range of clinical conditions are required.
Disability and marketing: a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe needs of people with disabilities have been largely overlooked in the marketplace and in the development and promotion of products and services. As the marketing system has the potential to drive changes in the education system, industry, market, and society, a more grounded and comprehensive understanding of the scholarly debate on disability is essential for advancing academic knowledge and marketing practice. Therefore, this paper provides a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review on disability and marketing, based on 68 articles published between 1985 and 2022. After identifying the most prominent journals, authors, countries, and research methods employed, a qualitative content analysis is used to thematically map this domain of research. Descriptive data provide evidence of a recent surge in marketing studies addressing disability, which has received increased attention since 2020. Existing research has been primarily driven by studies on tourism, services, and social marketing, while other fields remain largely unexplored. In recent years, there has been growing scholarly interest in marketing communications and the representation of disability; however, the focus on barriers and accessibility has hindered the advancement of the knowledge base regarding the social inclusion of people with disabilities from a marketing perspective. Based on its main results, the paper identifies possible avenues for further research, which may also offer valuable insights for policymakers and marketing practitioners interested in the inclusion of people with disabilities in society and the market.
