Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Diethylene glycol (DEG) has been implicated in several cases of poisoning over the years. The most common mechanism of poisoning is accidental or deliberate ingestion of anti-freezer; however, poisoning from transcutaneous absorption is extremely rare. Treatment is not well defined but fomepizole or ethanol can be an effective antidote specially if started early. Furthermore, early hemodialysis will reduce the burden of toxic metabolites.

Case report:
Here, we report a rare case of diethylene glycol poisoning from transcutaneous absorption. Our patient presented complaining of gastrointestinal and renal symptoms. Initial laboratory results showed values consistent with acute kidney injury and metabolic acidosis. Therefore, hemodialysis was started right away. On the 7th day of admission, the patient started showing features suggestive of impending respiratory failure which prompted a transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation. After ICU admission, the patient’s family reported previously concealed history of the patient applying brake fluid, a substance containing diethylene glycol, as traditional remedy for rash. Unfortunately, at that time, the antidote for diethylene glycol poisoning was not available in our country, Ethiopia. Hence, supportive treatment alone was given. Regrettably, the patient died on the 12th day of ICU admission.

Conclusion:
This case represents the unique clinical aspects of DEG poisoning. It also underscores the importance of suspecting DEG poisoning in acute renal failure patients with poor response to hemodialysis. Furthermore, taking detailed history will provide the initial clue to consider DEG poisoning. Lastly, further study should be done to identify factors that determine the occurrence of DEG poisoning from cutaneous brake fluid exposure.

Published: May 2024

Objective
Poststroke spasticity reduces arm function and leads to low levels of independence. This study suggested applying machine learning from routinely available data to support the clinical management of poststroke spasticity.

Design
One hundred seventy-two patients with acute first-ever stroke were included in this prospective cohort study. Twenty clinical information and rehabilitation assessments were obtained to train various machine learning algorithms for predicting 6-mo poststroke spasticity defined by a modified Ashworth scale score ≥1. Factors significantly relevant were also defined.

Results
The study results indicated that multivariate adaptive regression spline (area under the curve value: 0.916; 95% confidence interval: 0.906–0.923), adaptive boosting (area under the curve: 0.962; 95% confidence interval: 0.952–0.973), random forest (area under the curve: 0.975; 95% confidence interval: 0.968–0.981), support vector machine (area under the curve: 0.980; 95% confidence interval: 0.970–0.989), and outperformed the traditional logistic model (area under the curve: 0.897; 95% confidence interval: 0.884–0.910) (P < 0.05). Among all of the algorithms, the random forest and support vector machine models outperformed the others (P < 0.05). Fugl-Meyer Assessment score, days in hospital, age, stroke location, and paretic side were the most important features.

Conclusions
These findings suggest that machine learning algorithms can help augment clinical decision-making processes for the assessment of poststroke spasticity occurrence, which may enhance the efficacy of management for patients with poststroke spasticity in the future.

Purpose:
We investigated spatial resolution loss away from isocenter for a prototype deep silicon photon-counting detector (PCD) CT scanner and compare with a clinical energy-integrating detector (EID) CT scanner.

Materials and Methods:
We performed three scans on a wire phantom at four positions (isocenter, 6.7, 11.8, and 17.1 cm off isocenter). The acquisition modes were 120 kV EID CT, 120 kV high-definition (HD) EID CT, and 120 kV PCD CT. HD mode used double the projection view angles per rotation as the “regular” EID scan mode. The diameter of the wire was calculated by taking the full width of half max (FWHM) of a profile drawn over the radial and azimuthal directions of the wire. Change in wire diameter appearance was assessed by calculating the ratio of the radial and azimuthal diameter relative to isocenter. t tests were used to make pairwise comparisons of the wire diameter ratio with each acquisition and mean ratios’ difference from unity.

Results:
Deep silicon PCD CT had statistically smaller (P<0.05) changes in diameter ratio for both radial and azimuthal directions compared with both regular and HD EID modes and was not statistically different from unity (P<0.05). Maximum increases in FWMH relative to isocenter were 36%, 12%, and 1% for regular EID, HD EID, and deep silicon PCD, respectively.

Conclusion:
Deep silicon PCD CT exhibits less change in spatial resolution in both the radial and azimuthal directions compared with EID CT.
No conclusive evidence for an association between differential observational threat learning and physical activity in everyday life
Authors: Petalas Jannis , Müller Madeleine , Haaker Jan 
Published: May 2024

AbstractBackgroundExercise is well known to generally improve health status in humans and seems to be beneficial not only for physical, but also learning processes. The evidence for the impact of general physical activity on emotional learning, is however scarce. Here, we test the pre-registered hypothesis that the individual physical activity level of the past seven days is positively associated with observational threat learning, indicated by the differentiation between threat and safety cues.MethodsWe conducted a two day online study. 90 healthy participants (mean age = 27.82 years) engaged by completing questionnaires (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S/STAI-T and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)) on day one, followed by an observational learning task. Participants were asked to rate their discomfort, fear, and physiological response towards the CS+ and CS-both before and after the learning phase using a visual analogue scale. On day two (approximately 24 hours after day one), participants completed the STAI-S again, followed by a direct generalization task. Similar to before, participants were asked to report their discomfort, fear, and physiological response both before and after the generalization task.To quantify the level of physical activity (PA) of the past seven days a sum score of the IPAQ was calculated. The pre-registered primary endpoint was to test for apositive association between PA and the ability to discriminate the conditioned stimuli.ResultsPearson’s correlation analyses revealed no significant correlations between the combined total physical activity (PA) score and differential ratings of subjective discomfort (r = 0.11, pcorr= 0.150), fear (r = 0.203, pcorr= 0.081) or physiological responses (r = 0.145, pcorr= 0.17) on day 1. The same analysis revealed no significant correlations on day 2, either (differential ratings of subjective discomfort, r = 0.053, pcorr= 0.93, fear, r = -0.068, pcorr= 0.99, and physiological responses, r = -0.072, pcorr= 0.751 on day 2). However, we also found no sufficient evidence supporting the null hypothesis (i.e. no correlation) for the association between differential learning and PA on day 1, when applying bayesian statistics. Instead, we found a covariation between the ratings of discomfort and physical activity, as well as between ratings of fear and physical activity on day 1 and 2 within a repeated measurement ANOVA. This was supported by bayesian statistics.ConclusionOur results provided no convincing evidence for a correlation between differential observational threat learning and physical activity (as measured by the IPAQ). Future studies that provide a better control for individual physical activity are warranted.
Application of Laplace Adomian decomposition method for fractional Fokker-Planck equation and time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Burger equations
Authors: Zhang Yufeng , Wang Lizhen 
Published: May 2024

PurposeFractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) and time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Burger equations (TFCBBEs) play important roles in the fields of solute transport, fluid dynamics, respectively. Although there are many methods for solving the approximate solution, simple and effective methods are more preferred. This paper aims to utilize Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) to construct approximate solutions for these two types of equations and gives some examples of numerical calculations, which can prove the validity of LADM by comparing the error between the calculated results and the exact solution.Design/methodology/approachThis paper analyzes and investigates the time-space fractional partial differential equations based on the LADM method in the sense of Caputo fractional derivative, which is a combination of the Laplace transform and the Adomian decomposition method. LADM method was first proposed by Khuri in 2001. Many partial differential equations which can describe the physical phenomena are solved by applying LADM and it has been used extensively to solve approximate solutions of partial differential and fractional partial differential equations.FindingsThis paper obtained an approximate solution to the FFPE and TFCBBEs by using the LADM. A number of numerical examples and graphs are used to compare the errors between the results and the exact solutions. The results show that LADM is a simple and effective mathematical technique to construct the approximate solutions of nonlinear time-space fractional equations in this work.Originality/valueThis paper verifies the effectiveness of this method by using the LADM to solve the FFPE and TFCBBEs. In addition, these two equations are very meaningful, and this paper will be helpful in the study of atmospheric diffusion, shallow water waves and other areas. And this paper also generalizes the drift and diffusion terms of the FFPE equation to the general form, which provides a great convenience for our future studies.

Authors: Ibrahim Haruna , Wardeh George , Fares Hanaa , Ghorbel Elhem 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThe main aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of Anti-Crack HP 67/36 glass fibre on the mechanical performance of mortars made of cement, with a focus on post-cracking evaluations using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique.Design/methodology/approachExperimental tests were carried out on 36-mm long fibres at 0.8% by volume and added to the normal strength (NSM), high strength (HSM) and high strength mortar with fly ash (HSMFA) mortars. CEM I 52.5 CP2 NF, CEM II/A-L 42.5 NF and CEM III/C 32.5 N-SR PM were used for each series of mortar to assess the performance of the glass fibres with the types of cement. F-class fly (FA) ash was used to reduce global CO2 emissions.FindingsThe mortar’s strength decreased as the cement types changed from CEM I to CEM II and III. However, due to changes in the portlandite content of the cement, water porosity increased for both types of mortar, without and with fibre. It was also found that using glass fibre increased flexural strength more than compressive strength, regardless of the type of cement used. For all the strength classes, it was found that the mortar mixes with CEM I had the highest critical crack opening (wc) and fracture energy (GF), followed by CEM II and III. No significant effects were observed in the mortar’s property by replacing fly ash (12%).Research limitations/implicationsOnly mortars were formulated in this study, but the results must be verified at the concrete scale.Practical implicationsValidation of the DIC technique to characterize the post-cracking behaviour of cement-based material. Use of glass fibres to improve the material’s resistance to cracking.Social implicationsUse of CEM II and CEM III cements with low CO2 footprint instead of CEMI without altering the mechanical performance of the material.Originality/valueThe work is a further contribution to studying the cracking behaviour of several series of variable mortars depending on the resistance class and the type of cement used.
Management earnings forecast and technical innovation: the mediating effects of cost of debt
Authors: Bilal Khan Muhammad , Ezeani Ernest , Saleem Hummera , Usman Muhammad 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis study examines whether a firm’s management earnings forecasts affect its technical innovation activities. Our study also examines whether the cost of debt plays a mediating role between the management earnings forecasts and the innovation nexus.Design/methodology/approachWe obtained data from 1,032 Chinese non-financial firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2005 to 2022 (i.e. 18,576 firm-year observations). We used various econometrics techniques, such as Heckman’s (1979) two-stage selection method and two-stage least square, to examine the relationship between management earnings forecasts and the firm’s technical innovation activities.FindingsWe find a positive relationship between management earnings forecasts and the firms' technical innovation. We also find that the cost of debt mediates the relationship between management earnings forecast and technical innovation. Further analysis indicates that frequent earnings forecasts provide incremental information regarding a firm’s future value and cash flows, thus reducing the volatility and uncertainty in cash flow calculations. Our findings are robust to several tests.Originality/valueOur study has implications for policymakers, practitioners and high-level management of Chinese firms, enabling them to understand the relationship between management earnings forecasts and firms' innovation activities.
Community’s perception of buren site conservation in Upper Barito, Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Hartatik Hartatik , Wahyu Wahyu , Ruslan Muhammad , Putro Herry Porda Nugroho 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to describe and analyse the community’s perceptions of buren sites and how they maintain their value. Buren is a term used by locals to refer to the location of former iron ore smelting in the past. Archaeological findings at smelting sites are slags, ore fragments, tuyeres and smelting furnaces. These sites urgently need to be conserved because the expansion of oil palm plantations and coal mines is ongoing. Buren sites are on community and customary land, so site conservation and development must consider community perception.Design/methodology/approachThe primary data were gathered through interviews, group discussions and observation. A literature review of previous research results obtained secondary data. Interviews and group discussions were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim as qualitative coding. Thematic content analysis was performed using the concepts of the community’s perception and heritage values.FindingsThe community initially did not care about the buren. Today, they believe the buren as ancestral heritage has historical and educational value. The community hopes the buren can be preserved and developed to reinforce identity and pride as Dayak people and may improve community welfare.Research limitations/implicationsPreserving and developing buren sites necessitate serious planning involving multiple stakeholders, as well as incorporating buren sites into development plans and regional socioeconomic growth. Future research should focus on strategies for preserving and developing buren sites.Practical implicationsResearch results are used to teach students about the history and technology of metal making, instilling a sense of patriotism, strength and pride in Dayak’s identity.Social implicationsThe research has an impact on attitudes and behaviour of the locals. Previously, locals did not care about the buren tend to be afraid to enter it because they believed that buren was a guarded spirit. Now, the community has become concerned, participating in preserving the buren site as providing temporary roofs and making signboards and roads to the site. The community with support from regional officials expects to conserve and utilise the buren site as a tourist destination, combining river tours and forest tourism to create economic opportunities for local tour guides, parking services and boat providers.Originality/valueThe authenticity of this research is the sites are archaeologically valuable and are threatened by the expansion of oil palm plantations and coal mining. This is also the first study of an iron industrial site in Indonesia that addresses this problem and uses this method.
The coexistence of halal food products in non-Muslim communities: visiting Kupang cases, Indonesia
Authors: Izudin Ahmad , Isnanto Muh , Yuwono Dandung Budi , Sujibto B.J. 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
This study aims to revisit the practice of multiculturalism within the co-existence of halal food products in non-Muslim communities in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through observations, interviews and documentation using a case study approach.

Findings
The important findings in the existing study indicate that social practice related to the acceptance and expression of non-Muslim communities towards halal products and certificates is integrated into the daily life of the people. It has contrasted with other regions in Indonesia where debates between cultural and structural aspects of halal product studies and certification prevail, often dominated by ego-sectoral interests and Islamic theology. Although Kupang’s predominantly non-Muslim population, the practice and model of halal products emerge with uniqueness within communal traditions and socio-cultural practices take precedence over structural factors.

Research limitations/implications
The most significant contribution of this research lies in mutual understanding, interfaith dialogue and religiosity that have fused into social life, specially building social coexistence in halal products.

Practical implications
These findings contribute to policymakers to reformulate halal certification and products, which are not solely driven by the interests of the Muslim community.

Originality/value
This study presents a new synthetic theory about halal products, confirming a case study in Kupang where non-Muslim communities accepted halal products as a reflection of cultural and local customs. This acceptance has led to the development of a new identity without contradictions among business interests, ideologies, sectoral aspects, hygiene, health and structural state movements.
