AbstractTelesurgery is expected to improve medical access in areas with limited resources, facilitate the rapid dissemination of new surgical procedures, and advance surgical education. While previously hindered by communication delays and costs, recent advancements in information technology and the emergence of new surgical robots have created an environment conducive to societal implementation. In Japan, the legal framework established in 2019 allows for remote surgical support under the supervision of an actual surgeon. The Japan Surgical Society led a collaborative effort, involving various stakeholders, to conduct social verification experiments using telesurgery, resulting in the development of a Japanese version of the “Telesurgery Guidelines” in June 2022. These guidelines outline requirements for medical teams, communication environments, robotic systems, and security measures for communication lines, as well as responsibility allocation, cost burden, and the handling of adverse events during telesurgery. In addition, they address telementoring and full telesurgery. The guidelines are expected to be revised as needed, based on the utilization of telesurgery, advancements in surgical robots, and improvements in information technology.
Free and Forced Vibration Analysis of Carbon/Glass Hybrid Composite Laminated Plates Under Arbitrary Boundary Conditions
Authors: Li Mengzhen , Guedes Soares Carlos , Liu Zhiping , Zhang Peng 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis paper presents the theoretical investigations on the free and forced vibration behaviours of carbon/glass hybrid composite laminated plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. The unknown allowable displacement functions of the physical middle surface are expressed in terms of standard cosine Fourier series and sinusoidal auxiliary functions to ensure the continuity of the displacement functions and their derivatives at the structural boundaries. Arbitrary boundary conditions are achieved through the introduction of an artificial spring technique. The first shear deformation theory and Lagrange equations are utilized to derive the energy expression, and the eigenvalue equations associated with free and forced vibration are obtained by Rayleigh-Ritz variational operations. Subsequently, these equations are then solved to determine the natural frequency, mode of vibration, and the steady-state displacement response under forced excitation. The new results are compared with those from references and finite element methods to verify the convergence, accuracy and efficiency of the analytical method. The effects of hybrid ratios, stacking sequences, lamination schemes, fibre orientation, boundary conditions and excitation force on the free and forced vibration behaviours of the carbon/glass hybrid composite laminated plates are analyzed in detail.
Fear and perceived risk of cyber fraud victimization among Chinese University students
Authors: Qu Jia , Lin Kai , Wu Yuning , Sun Ivan Y. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractCyber fraud has surfaced as a serious social problem in China, resulting in billions of Chinese yuan worth of financial losses in recent years. The high prevalence and large quantity financial losses from cyber fraud have sparked widespread public concerns about online safety. Based on survey data from over 1000 university students in China, this study explores the prevalence of fear and perceived risk of cyber fraud and its correlates among university students. The results showed that although only 10% of the respondents believed they would likely experience cyber fraud victimization in the next 12 months, approximately 50% reported feeling fearful of cyber fraud in the past 3 months. The logistic regression results show that both fear and perceived risk are influenced by different domains of risk factors, with higher self-control and deviant online behaviors explaining greater odds of fear. In contrast, the perceived risk of crime is linked to vicarious victimization experiences, perceived crime seriousness, and satisfaction with the police. Implications for future research and policy are discussed.

Published: June 2024

AbstractColletotrichum coccodes is an important pathogen of potatoes. Recently, the closely related C. nigrum has been reported as an important pathogen of solanaceous crops but not as a pathogen of potato. This study confirms C. coccodes as the most prevalent Colletotrichum species infecting foliar and tuber tissue of potatoes in Australia and the USA. In addition, three isolates from the USA, previously identified as C. coccodes, were re-identified as C. nigrum. The gene loci TUB2, ACT, GAPDH, CHS-1 or HIS3 were all suitable for differentiating C. nigrum from C. coccodes. Australian and USA tuber and foliar isolates of C. coccodes and C. nigrum had similar pathogenicity on detached potato leaves. This is the first report of C. nigrum as a pathogen of potato. Moreover, the recently described C. dianense was revealed to be a synonym of C. nigrum.
Interdisciplinary integrative capabilities as a catalyst of responsible technology-enabled innovation: A higher education case study of Design MSc dissertation projects
Authors: Colecchia Federico , Ceschin Fabrizio , Harrison David 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
It has been acknowledged that global challenges are in the way of delivering responsible innovation, as reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals – a set of strategic objectives formulated by the United Nations General Assembly, to promote environmentally, societally, and economically-sustainable development. Design higher education has an important role to play in equipping the next generation of professionals with knowledge and skills for tackling pressing system-level challenges. Sustainable design research and ways of integrating emerging technologies in future design higher education curricula have, separately, attracted significant interest in recent years. However, comparatively little effort has concentrated on the role that a broader range of technologies can play in shaping the design higher education provision with system-level sustainability challenges in mind. This article presents an analysis of 180 Design MSc dissertation projects, implemented at a UK higher education institution between 2019 and 2022, focusing on research challenges of societal and industrial relevance. The data set includes a mapping of dissertation projects to relevant technologies, industry sectors, and Sustainable Development Goals. Data analysis suggests a balanced distribution of projects across a range of sustainability goals, although under-represented thematic areas have also been highlighted. The methods adopted for this study, based on a systematic study of relational patterns reflecting associations of dissertation projects with technologies, industry sectors, and sustainability goals, provide a blueprint for future data-driven research on the role played by technologies within student projects in design higher education, with an emphasis on their relevance to sustainable innovation challenges.
MXene/rGO/sulfur loaded separator based current collector-free lithium sulfur batteries with high sulfur loading and cycle life

Published: June 2024

AbstractLithium-Sulfur batteries with high sulfur loading cathodes are highly desirable to achieve greater energy density. In this work, a high loading composite cathode is reported that is made by scalable vacuum filtration route, eliminating the need for a binder, conducting carbon, and metallic current collector. Moreover, capacity fade due to peeling off of coated active material from current collector is avoided, leading to excellent capacity retention. The coated separator affords a porous framework to (i) accommodate volume changes during cycling, (ii) allow higher sulfur loading, (iii) allow electrolyte wetting of active material in addition to (iv) functioning as a traditional separator and current collector by pressing against stainless steel casing. The MXene/reduced graphene oxide/S8 composite with an areal loading of 2.52 mg/cm2 exhibits a specific capacity of 495 mAh/g with a capacity retention of 97.5% after 200 cycles at a charge/discharge rate of 100 mA/g. At 500 mA/g discharge rate, an initial specific capacity of 378 mAh/g was obtained with 239 mAh/g retained after 750 cycles.

Published: June 2024

AbstractFrequent geological disasters pose significant threats to both human lives and property. High-risk landslides, with features such as rapid occurrence, wide distribution, and strong destructiveness, are of particular concern. To investigate the distribution characteristics and threat range of landslides, the Yunnan section of the Northern Tropic of Cancer was selected as the study area. Based on the fuzzy evidence weight model and using a grid size of 1000 m × 1000 m as the study unit, a vulnerability assessment of landslides along the Northern Tropic of Cancer in Yunnan was conducted. This assessment involved constructing a set of 13 evaluation indicator factors from three aspects: geological environment, geographical environment, and human engineering activities. The assessment results were subsequently subjected to precision verification. The results are as follows: (1) The overall vulnerability of landslides in the Yunnan section of the Northern Tropic of Cancer is moderate, covering an area of 25,968.79 km2. This area constitutes the largest proportion, accounting for 46.30% of the entire study area and is primarily distributed in counties such as Yanshan, Funing, and Shuangjiang. The highly vulnerable area covers 15,942.27 km2, representing 28.43% of the total study area. This region is mainly distributed in counties such as Gejiu, Yuanjiang, and Mojiang. (2) The main triggering factors for landslides are twofold: first, large-scale slope instability caused by excavation in human engineering activities, leading to extensive unstable slopes affected by long-term weathering and gravitational effects. Second, soil erosion resulting from land cultivation leads to the collapse and sliding of weathered and fragmented rocks under the influence of heavy rainfall and water erosion. During routine geological disaster patrols, special attention should be given to these factors, with a focus on implementing engineering measures in areas with more fragile geological environments. (3) Precision verification of the assessment results was conducted using both receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Success rate curves. The area under the curve (AUC) values for the success rate curve and ROC curve were 0.85 and 0.74, respectively. The verification results showed high accuracy and feasibility of the evaluation method.
Civil society elites: managers of civic capital
Authors: Sevelsted Anders , Johansson Håkan 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe article takes the first steps towards a general theory of civil society elites, a concept not fully developed in either elite or civil society research. This conceptual gap hampers academic and public understanding of the dynamics at the top of civil society. To address this, the authors rely on the theoretical framework of Pierre Bourdieu to build a theory of civil society elites as managers of civic capital. This role is illustrated through examples from the differently institutionalised UK and Nordic civil societies. The first part of the article introduces the notion of civic capital and its emergence during the 19th century. The second part focuses on elite positions in civil society fields, demonstrating how civil society elites, as managers of civic capital, navigate between their constituents and other elite groups. These elites wield the power to consecrate social relations while misrecognising their own symbolic and economic gains. Recent scandals in the climate movement and UK and Nordic civil societies shed light on the symbolic aspects of the positions of civil society elites. This comprehensive analysis contributes to elite and civil society research and enriches public discussions about the role of civil society leaders in society.
Normative uncertainty meets voting theory
Authors: Elkin Lee 
Published: June 2024

AbstractRecent attempts to provide a viable account of decision making under normative uncertainty through the use of voting procedures seem promising, but incomparable options pose a challenge. This paper focuses on the so-called Borda approach to decision making under normative uncertainty (MacAskill, Mind 125(500):967–1004, 2016; MacAskill et al., Moral uncertainty, Oxford University Press, 2020) and illustrates how an extended version of it aimed at accommodating incomplete preference orderings associated with normative theories fails. I propose a different account for proponents fond of the voter-theoretic approach that is grounded by approval voting, which sufficiently addresses the problem of option incomparability and is pragmatically compelling due to its simpler structure.

Published: June 2024

AbstractExperiencing decline in both cognition and mobility is associated with a substantially higher dementia risk than cognitive decline only. Metabolites associated with both cognitive and mobility declines may be early predictors of dementia and reveal specific pathways to dementia. We analyzed data from 2450 participants initially free of dementia who had 613 metabolites measured in plasma in 1998–1999 (mean age = 75.2 ± 2.9 years old, 37.8% Black, 50% women) from the Health, Aging and Body Composition study. Dementia diagnosis was determined by race-specific decline in 3MS scores, medication use, and hospital records through 2014. Cognition and mobility were repeatedly measured using 3MS and a 20-m walking test up to 10 years, respectively. We examined metabolite associations with changes in 3MS (n = 2046) and gait speed (n = 2019) using multivariable linear regression adjusted for age, sex, race, and baseline performance and examined metabolite associations with dementia risk using Cox regression. During a mean follow-up of 9.3 years, 534 (21.8%) participants developed dementia. On average, 3MS declined 0.47/year and gait declined 0.04 m/sec/year. After covariate adjustment, 75 metabolites were associated with cognitive decline, and 111 metabolites were associated with gait decline (FDR-adjusted p < 0.05). Twenty-six metabolites were associated with both cognitive and gait declines. Eighteen of 26 metabolites were associated with dementia risk (p < 0.05), notably amino acids, glycerophospholipids (lysoPCs, PCs, PEs), and sphingolipids. Results remained similar after adjusting for cardiovascular disease or apolipoprotein E ɛ4 carrier status. During aging, metabolomic profiles of cognitive decline and mobility decline show distinct and shared signatures. Shared metabolomic profiles suggest that inflammation and deficits in mitochondria and the urea cycle in addition to the central nervous system may play key roles in both cognitive and mobility declines and predict dementia. Future studies are warranted to investigate longitudinal metabolite changes and metabolomic markers with dementia pathologies.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) are currently broadly prescribed for the treatment of HIV infection but are also thought to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression by protecting against amyloidosis. Our study evaluates the hypothesis that reverse transcriptase inhibitors protect against Alzheimer-type brain amyloidogenesis in the context of HIV infection. We compiled a case series of participants from a prospective study of the neurological consequences of HIV infection at the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program (HNRP) who had serial neuropsychological and neurological assessments and were on RTIs. Two participants had gross and microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry of the brain at autopsy; one was assessed clinically for Alzheimer’s disease by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis of phosphorylated-Tau, Total-Tau and Aβ42. Additionally, a larger cohort of 250 autopsied individuals was evaluated for presence of amyloid plaques, Tau, and related pathologies. Three older, virally suppressed individuals with HIV who had long-term treatment with RTIs were included in analyses. Two cases demonstrated substantial cerebral amyloid deposition at autopsy. The third case met clinical criteria for AD based on a typical clinical course and CSF biomarker profile. In the larger cohort of autopsied individuals, the prevalence of cerebral amyloidosis among people with HIV (PWH) was greater for those on RTIs. Our study showed that long-term RTI therapy did not protect against Alzheimer-type brain amyloidogenesis in the context of HIV infection in these patients. Given the known toxicities of RTIs, it is premature to recommend them to individuals at risk or with Alzheimer’s disease who do not have HIV infection.
Investigation of the effect of metal powder and metal-supported MCM-41 catalysts on the pyrolysis of horse chestnut fruits and shells (Aesculus hippocastanum L.)
Authors: Durak Halil , Genel Salih 
Published: June 2024

AbstractHorse chestnut fruit and horse chestnut shell are derived from the same biomass but exhibit distinct structural characteristics. Different compounds can be produced through the pyrolysis of these materials. The pyrolysis process was conducted on horse chestnut fruit and shell at temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 °C, both with and without various catalysts (Al, Fe, MCM-41/Al, MCM-41/Fe). The synthesis of MCM-41 catalysts utilized a hydrothermal method, and their properties were assessed through XRD, SEM–EDX, and SEM–EDS analyses. The resulting products from the pyrolysis were analyzed using GC–MS and elemental analysis techniques. Optimal efficiency was achieved at 400 °C, with the highest HHV value recorded at 34.38 MJ/kg when Al powder catalyst was present.
Oops, I Sampled Again … the Meaning of “Pastiche” as an Autonomous Concept Under EU Copyright Law
Authors: Mezei Péter , Jütte Bernd Justin , Sganga Caterina , Pascault Léo 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWith the return of the Metal auf Metal case (Pelham v. Hütter) to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the Luxembourg court will again be faced with the question under which circumstances the reproduction of parts of a sound recording requires authorisation. When the case was first argued before the EU’s highest court, it revolved around the concept of partial reproduction of a sound recording and an interpretation of the quotation exception. In addition, the defendant had proposed that national courts, in the absence of an applicable exception, could provide for flexibility by allowing creative uses purely based on fundamental rights. The Court rejected this possibility, arguing that something akin to an open norm would create legal uncertainty. Following the first ruling, Germany, where the case originated, implemented the pastiche exception of Art. 5(3)(k) of the Information Society Directive into its national copyright law. In Pelham v. Hütter II, the CJEU is asked to give guidance on the interpretation of the concept of pastiche. Following the introduction of the exception under German law, German courts had interpreted the exception broadly, allowing a variety of derivative artistic uses. This article explores the concept of pastiche from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. After an overview of the relevant German decisions, it explores the various non-legal meanings of pastiche before comparing the development of the notion in the copyright laws of Italy, France and some other EU Member States. Since the non-legal as well as the different national legal understandings of pastiche do not crystallise a common understanding of the notion, pastiche is subsequently developed as an autonomous concept under EU law. In distinguishing pastiche from parody, which the CJEU developed as an autonomous concept in the Deckmyn case, the article proposes that pastiche should be understood as an exception that broadly permits referential uses that have no elements of humour or mockery – as distinct from parody – but are of an artistic nature. An important role must be assigned to the three-step test, which functions as a framework to balance the interests of rightholders and users in a given case.
Prevention Strategies and Management of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Authors: Colarelli Andrea Marian , MD  , Barbian Maria Estefania , MD  , Denning Patricia Wei , MD  
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious intestinal disease which primarily affects preterm infants. The pathogenesis of NEC is multifactorial. Thus, it is complicated to study, prevent, and manage.

Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of recent research and provide recommendations for the prevention and management of NEC. Currently, management is supportive and non-specific and long-term outcomes for surgical NEC are poor.

Recent Findings
The most important strategy to prevent NEC is to provide preterm infants with a human milk diet, minimize exposure to antibiotics and avoid medications that disturb the intestinal microbiome.

Summary
Strategies to optimize the infant’s intestinal microbiome are critical, as disturbances in the intestinal microbiome composition are a major factor in the pathogenesis of this disease. Optimizing maternal health is also vital to prevent prematurity and neonatal morbidity. Ongoing research holds promise for the implementation of new diagnostic modalities, preventive strategies, and medical treatment options to improve outcomes for premature infants.
