Authors: Du Jiashuai , Wei Yazhi , Zhang Hui , Idriss Aboubaker I B 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this research, sustainable oyster shell derivatives were used as partial replacement of Portland cement-sulfate aluminate cement composite (OPC-SAC) composites to investigate the potential application in the mix-stir-extrusion integrated 3D concrete printing. Calcined oyster shell powder (CS) was added into OPC-SAC concrete at 0–15 wt% to prepare a new 3D printed concrete. Additionally, oyster shell particles (CSS) were substituted for river sand at 0–41.7 wt% as another new material. The effects of oyster shell derivatives on the forming mechanism and performance of 3D printed concrete were studied by macro and micro tests. The results demonstrate that the two new materials, which can be printed with an initial setting time within 15–36 min, exhibit superior overall performance compared to OPC-SAC, achieving an efficiency improvement of up to 75%. When the CS content was 15%, the formability of 3D printed concrete reached the best. The optimized compressive strength and flexural strength at 28 days surpassed 40 MPa, and 10 MPa, respectively. Micro-morphological analysis showed that CaO in CS facilitated the hydration reaction of concrete and generated more C-S-H gels and Aft crystals, which resulted in a denser bond between the substances and enhanced the mechanical strength. The above results indicated that both CS and CSS could improve the mechanical properties of OPC-SAC.
Axiomatization of modal logic with counting
Authors: Fu Xiaoxuan , Zhao Zhiguang 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Modal logic with counting is obtained from basic modal logic by adding cardinality comparison formulas of the form $ \#\varphi \succsim \#\psi $, stating that the cardinality of successors satisfying $ \varphi $ is larger than or equal to the cardinality of successors satisfying $ \psi $. It is different from graded modal logic where basic modal logic is extended with formulas of the form $ \Diamond _{k}\varphi $ stating that there are at least $ k$-many different successors satisfying $ \varphi $. In this paper, we investigate the axiomatization of ML(#) with respect to different frame classes, such as image-finite frames and arbitrary frames. Drawing inspiration from existing works, we employ a similar proof strategy that uses the characterization of binary relations on finite Boolean algebras capable of representing generalized probability measures or finite (respectively arbitrary) cardinality measures. Our main result shows that any formula not provable in the Hilbert system can be refuted within a finite (respectively arbitrary) cardinality measure Kripke frame with a finite domain. We then transform this finite (respectively arbitrary) cardinality measure Kripke frame into a Kripke frame in the corresponding class, refuting the unprovable formula.
Computer-Aided Searching for a Tabular Many-Valued Discussive Logic—Matrices
Authors: Jukiewicz Marcin , Nasieniewski Marek , Petrukhin Yaroslav , Shangin Vasily 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In the paper, we tackle the matter of non-classical logics, in particular, paraconsistent ones, for which not every formula follows in general from inconsistent premisses. Our benchmark is Jaśkowski’s logic, modeled with the help of discussion. The second key origin of this paper is the matter of being tabular, i.e. being adequately expressible by finitely many finite matrices. We analyse Jaśkowski’s non-tabular discussive (discursive) logic $ \textbf {D}_{2}$, one of the first paraconsistent logics, from the perspective of a trivalent tabular logic. We are motivated to step down from the ongoing modal $ \textbf {S5}$-perspective of developing $ \textbf {D}_{2}$ both by certain mysteries that have been surrounding it and by gaps in Jaśkowski’s arguments contra the multivalent tabular perspective. Although Jaśkowski’s idea to use $ \textbf {S5}$ in order to define $ \textbf {D}_{2}$ is very attractive since it allows one to benefit from the tools and results of modal logic, it also gives a ‘non-direct’ formulation and, as it appeared later, is superfluous with respect to what is meant to be achieved since one can define the very same logic but using modal logics weaker than S5. It is also known, due to Kotas, that discussive logic is not finite-valued. So, in light of Kotas’s result that $ \textbf {D}_{2}$ is non-tabular, we propose to associate it with a few dozen discussive formulae that Jaśkowski unequivocally and illustratively suggests to be its theorems or non-theorems rather than with axioms of its modern axiomatizations (one of which Kotas employs) in order to be capable of performing a computer-aided brute-force search for suitable trivalent matrices in the cases of one and two designated values. As a result, we find trivalent matrices with two designated values that might be dubbed ‘discussive’ because they meet Jaśkowski’s suggestion to validate and invalidate the litmus theorems and non-theorems, respectively, despite the fact that none of them validates all the negation axioms in the modern axiomatizations of $ \textbf {D}_{2}$. The matrices found are then analysed along with highlighting the ones that were previously mentioned in the literature. We conclude the paper with a comparative analysis of Omori’s results and a test of Karpenko’s hypothesis.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer typically metastasizes to the peritoneum, liver, and lungs. However, metastases to the fallopian tube and uterus are uncommon. This case report delves into this rare occurrence of metastasis and discusses its characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatments based on an extensive literature review. We present the case of a 61-year-old female patient who underwent her initial hospitalization for da Vinci robotic surgery to address colorectal cancer, stage pT3N0M0. However, during routine postoperative follow-up 6 months later, a localized rectal recurrence was detected. The patient commenced chemoradiotherapy with full response. Subsequently, the patient was readmitted due to pelvic pain again, and a magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed an abnormal mass in the patient’s left fallopian tube and uterine corpus, infiltrating the myometrium. Consequently, total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was performed, along with omentectomy, which confirmed metastatic involvement from rectal cancer upon postoperative pathological examination. This case may inform further diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer metastasis to the fallopian tube.
Management of a rare symptomatic retrocaval ureter: a case report with review of literature
Authors: Ahmad Manzoor , Ahmed Ezaz , Mohammad Ali Wasif , Khalid Saifullah , Ali Imad 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital vascular anomaly with an incidence of 0.13%, leading to the passage of the right ureter behind the inferior vena cava and then turning around it to attain its lateral position. The condition is usually associated with obstruction in the right kidney and proximal ureter leading to symptoms like dull aching pain in the flanks, recurrent episodes of urinary tract infections, and recurrent stone formation. The patient presented with recurrent episodes of burning micturition and pain in the right flank for the past 6 months. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography kidney–ureter–bladder was done to diagnose the condition. The patient was managed by open pelviureteric anastomosis lateral to the inferior vena cava, thus eliminating the obstruction on the ureter. The patient has had an uneventful postoperative follow-up. Retrocaval ureter is a rare condition and should be clinically suspected in cases of hydronephrosis where other causes have been ruled out. Different approaches can be used to correct the anomaly. In this case report, an open transperitoneal intraabdominal approach has been used.

Abstract

Background
Community-associated Clostridioides difficile infection is a major public health hazard to adults and older children. Infants frequently excrete toxigenic C difficile asymptomatically in their stool, but their importance as a community reservoir of C difficile is uncertain.

Methods
Families of healthy infants were recruited at the baby's 4-month well child visit and were followed longitudinally until the baby was approximately 9 months old. Babies and mothers submitted stool or rectal swabs every 2 weeks that were cultivated for C difficile; fathers’ participation was encouraged but not required. Clostridioides difficile isolates were strain-typed by fluorescent polymerase chain reaction ribotyping and by core genome multilocus sequence typing, and the number of families in whom the same strain was cultivated from &gt;1 family member (“strain sharing”) was assessed.

Results
Thirty families were enrolled, including 33 infants (3 sets of twins) and 30 mothers; 19 fathers also participated. Clostridioides difficile was identified in 28 of these 30 families over the course of the study, and strain sharing was identified in 17 of these 28. In 3 families, 2 separate strains were shared. The infant was involved in 17 of 20 instances of strain sharing, and in 13 of these, the baby was identified first, with or without a concomitantly excreting adult. Excretion of shared strains usually was persistent.

Conclusions
Clostridioides difficile strain sharing was frequent in healthy families caring for an infant, increasing the likelihood that asymptomatically excreting babies and their families represent a reservoir of the organism in the community.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Accessing treatment at ACPA (American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association)–approved centers is challenging for individuals in rural communities. This study aims to assess how pediatric plastic surgery outreach clinics impact access for patients with orofacial cleft and craniosynostosis in Mississippi. An isochrone map was used to determine mean travel times from Mississippi counties to the sole pediatric hospital and the only ACPA-approved team in the state. This analysis was done before and after the establishment of two outreach clinics to assess differences in travel times and cost of travel to specialized plastic surgery care. Two sample t-tests were used for analysis.
The addition of outreach clinics in North and South Mississippi led to a significant reduction in mean travel times for patients with cleft and craniofacial diagnoses across the state's counties (1.81 hours vs 1.46 hours, P < 0.001). Noteworthy travel cost savings were observed after the introduction of outreach clinics when considering both the pandemic gas prices ($15.27 vs $9.80, P < 0.001) and post-pandemic prices ($36.52 vs $23.43, P < 0.001).
The addition of outreach clinics in Mississippi has expanded access to specialized healthcare for patients with cleft and craniofacial differences resulting in reduced travel time and cost savings for these patients. Establishing specialty outreach clinics in other rural states across the United States may contribute significantly to reducing burden of care for patients with clefts and craniofacial differences. Future studies can further investigate whether the inclusion of outreach clinics improves follow-up rates and surgical outcomes for these patients.
Barriers to Remote Burn Care Delivery

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Mounting evidence supports the use of telehealth to improve burn care access and efficiency. However, barriers to telehealth use remain throughout the United States and may disproportionately affect specific populations, such as rural and non-English-speaking patients. This study analyzes the association between physical proximity to burn care and determinants of telehealth access.
The relationship between telehealth-associated measures and proximity to burn care was analyzed with linear regression analysis. County-level data was sourced from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Social Determinants of Health Database (2020) and the American Community Survey (2021). County-level distances to the nearest American Burn Association (ABA)-verified burn center were calculated based on verified centers listed in the ABA burn center directory (n = 59). A subsequent analysis was performed on income-stratified datasets available for subset counties.
Distance was negatively correlated with access to a smartphone (P < 0.0001), broadband internet (P < 0.0001), and cellular data plan (P < 0.0001) and positively correlated with the percent of households with no computing device (P < 0.0001) and no internet access (P < 0.0001). Analysis of income-stratified data revealed similar results. The percent population not speaking English well (P < 0.0001) at all (P = 0.0009) and the proportion of limited English-speaking households (P = 0.0001) decreased as a function of distance.
People living furthest from an ABA-verified burn center in the United States are less likely to have adequate access to critical telehealth infrastructure compared to their counterparts living closer to a burn center. However, income impacts overall access and the degree to which access changes with proximity. Conversely, language-associated barriers decrease as distance increases.
Locoregional Flap Reconstruction of the Distal Third of the Leg – What Role Does it Have in a Modern Reconstructive Algorithm?
Authors: Galarza Laura , Talbot Hannah Grace , Bryant Gidarell C. , Davis Jared M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Reconstruction of traumatic defects of the lower third of the leg poses a challenge due to limited locoregional options. Failed coverage can be associated with prolonged hospital stay, infection, loss of function, and unplanned return to surgery. Over the last few decades, free tissue transfer has dominated reconstructive algorithms for such defects; however, locoregional flaps may provide equally effective coverage in select patients. In the wake of the CODID-19 pandemic, locoregional flaps gained more consideration due to limited resources. We present a literature review and discussion of locoregional flaps, with emphasis on the quality and efficacy of these reconstructive modalities compared with free tissue transfer and surgical indications.
Soleus flaps, reverse sural flaps, and cutaneous perforator-based flaps are workhorses for small to medium size defects of the distal third of the leg, even in the setting of concomitant orthopedic trauma and exposed vital structures. It is important to consider such alternatives an integral part of the reconstructive algorithm as they can provide durable coverage with a favorable complication profile with less resource utilization. Appropriate patient selection requires consideration of the character of the defect, smoking status, preexisting vascular disease, and the zone of injury.
School-based caries prevention using silver diamine fluoride: A pragmatic randomized trial in low-income rural children
Authors: Ruff Ryan Richard , Niederman Richard 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundDental caries is the world’s most prevalent noncommunicable disease, disproportionately affecting children from low-income families and rural geographic areas.MethodsThe CariedAway 3.0 study was a cluster-randomized pragmatic non-inferiority trial comparing silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to sealants and atraumatic restorations (ART) for the prevention and control of dental caries. All participants also received fluoride varnish. Analysis consisted of mixed-effects logistic regression for caries prevalence and weighted least squares and mixed-effects negative binomial regression for caries incidence. A non-inferiority margin of 10% for the difference between groups was used. Dental caries was defined as an ICDAS score of four or greater.ResultsA total of 3345 children were enrolled across 35 schools; however there was a large proportion of children who were noncompliant and received external dental care over the course of the trial. In adjusted analyses of compliant participants (n=1083; 543 in the SDF group and 540 in the sealant and ART group), there was no difference in the weighted risk difference between treatment groups (B=0.003, 95% CI = -0.0001, 0.0008). The odds of caries prevalence was elevated in the SDF group in longitudinal analyses (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 0.86, 2.11) but was not significant and was below the non-inferiority margin. There were no significant differences between groups for caries incidence in adjusted models (IRR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.81, 1.74). Results for intent to treat analyses were similar to that of per-protocol.DiscussionIn this school-based clinical trial, the prevalence of dental caries in children treated with SDF and fluoride varnish was non-inferior compared to those treated with sealants, ART, and fluoride varnish, although the overall risk was slightly higher. Unfortunately, a high rate of dropout and participant noncompliance was observed, likely due to the impacts of COVID-19 on study procedures. As a result, observed effects may be unreliable beyond the short-term.Trial Registration:NCT03448107
The role of service recovery in omnichannel integration services success model
Authors: Tseng Shu-Mei 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study basically develops an omnichannel integration services (OIS) success model and further uses perceived value and stickiness to measure the actual net benefits. Furthermore, this study explores the role of service recovery in OIS success model.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative online survey study was mainly being conducted to statistically test these relationships among the customer experience, satisfaction, perceived value, stickiness and service recovery. The statistical data collected from 371 respondents were taken for analysis through partial least squares.FindingsThe findings revealed that the online and offline customer experiences have a significant influence on their level of online and offline satisfaction, respectively. Both online and offline satisfaction are major factors which are enhancing the perceived value and stickiness. Service recovery also has a significant effect on online and offline satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of the hypotheses presented in the OIS success model may usually vary from one cultural context to another. Hence, additional studies should access the current research model, especially those that are culturally different from Taiwan.Practical implicationsThe service failures are always inevitable and the recovery of such encounters represent to have a significant challenge for OIS. Thus, practitioners should allocate more such resources to enhance on customer experience of OIS, which in turn promotes to enhance customer satisfaction. Moreover, OIS practitioners seem to be more concerned with a thought on how to avoid service failures and provide satisfied customer experience than developing service recovery strategies.Originality/valueAlthough the past studies on multichannel retail have yielded insights into the factors affecting consumers' channel preferences, there is a dearth of research that sheds bright light on the intense factors affect the success of OIS; hence, a conceptual framework of OIS success model, referenced to the model of updated information systems success (ISS), thus is used to act as the basis of this study. Furthermore, this study explores the role of service recovery in OIS success model.

Is warmth more critical than competence? Understanding how destination gender affects destination identification and destination advocacy
Authors: Hamdy Ahmed , Zhang Jian , Eid Riyad , Agag Gomaa 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to examine a new approach to understanding the interrelationships between destination brand gender, stereotypes, destination brand identification and brand advocacy, as well as the mediating role of destination warmth (vs. competence) in the connections between destination brand femininity (vs. masculinity) and destination brand identification.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative study and literature review were conducted to revisit and refine the items on the scale. Preliminary item reduction was qualitatively grounded in focus groups, a panel of experts, and a pilot study. A follow-up quantitative evaluation of two studies (N1 = 705 and N2 = 472) was conducted to test seven hypotheses using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis with structural equation modeling.

Findings
The findings provide robust evidence for the interrelationships among destination brand gender, stereotypes, destination identification and destination advocacy. The outcomes also reveal that warmth is more important than competence for destination identification. Finally, the results indicated that only destination warmth serves as a partial mediator in the association between destination brand masculinity and femininity, on the one hand, and destination identification, on the other hand.

Originality/value
This article adds to the destination branding literature by using social role theory and the stereotype content model to explore novel connections among destination brand gender, stereotypes, destination brand identification and brand advocacy.
