AbstractAimThe diagnosis of drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) is challenging. We modified the revised electronic version of the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) for the diagnosis of DILI (RECAM), the scoring system developed in US and Spanish cohorts in 2022, and developed RECAM‐J 2023 to align with the clinical practice in Japan. In the current study, we introduce RECAM‐J 2023 and verify its performance in the context of Japanese patients with DILI.MethodsAfter translation of RECAM into Japanese, modifications were made to develop RECAM‐J 2023 without any alteration to the scores. To examine the validity and performance of RECAM‐J 2023, clinical information on DILI and non‐DILI cases in Japan were retrospectively collected. The diagnosis of DILI was made by expert's decision. Then we scored each case using RECAM‐J 2023, and calculated area under curve (AUC) values for identification for DILI.ResultsWe collected data from 538 DILI and 128 non‐DILI cases. The sum of highly probable (HP) and probable (PR) cases categorized by RECAM‐J 2023 were only 206 (38%) in DILI cases. As the primary cause of low scores was the deduction with missing hepatitis virus markers, which is unlikely to be an issue in prospective applications, we rescored without these deductions. At this time, the sum of HP and PR was raised to 421 (78%). The AUCs of RECAM‐J 2023 without deductions were 0.70 and 0.88 for identifying at least HP, and at least PR, respectively.ConclusionRECAM‐J 2023, when prospectively used without any missing hepatitis virus markers, provides acceptable performance for identifying at least PR DILI cases in Japanese daily clinical practice.

AbstractBackgroundDesign thinking is an iterative process that innovates solutions through a person‐centric approach and is increasingly used across health contexts. The person‐centric approach lends itself to working with groups with complex needs. One such group is families experiencing economic hardship, who are vulnerable to food insecurity and face challenges with child feeding.ObjectiveThis study describes the application of a design thinking framework, utilizing mixed methods, including co‐design, to develop a responsive child‐feeding intervention for Australian families—‘Eat, Learn, Grow’.MethodsGuided by the five stages of design thinking, which comprises empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. We engaged with parents/caregivers of a child aged 6 months to 3 years through co‐design workshops (n = 13), direct observation of mealtimes (n = 10), a cross‐sectional survey (n = 213) and semistructured interviews (n = 29). Findings across these methods were synthesized using affinity mapping to clarify the intervention parameters. Parent user testing (n = 12) was conducted online with intervention prototypes to determine acceptability and accessibility. A co‐design workshop with child health experts (n = 9) was then undertaken to review and co‐design content for the final intervention.ResultsThrough the design thinking process, an innovative digital child‐feeding intervention was created. This intervention utilized a mobile‐first design and consisted of a series of short and interactive modules that used a learning technology tool. The design is based on the concept of microlearning and responds to participants' preferences for visual, brief and plain language information accessed via a mobile phone. User testing sessions with parents and the expert co‐design workshop indicated that the intervention was highly acceptable.ConclusionsDesign thinking encourages researchers to approach problems creatively and to design health interventions that align with participant needs. Applying mixed methods—including co‐design— within this framework allows for a better understanding of user contexts, preferences and priorities, ensuring solutions are more acceptable and likely to be engaged.

AbstractIncreasing the active site of redox reactions on the surface of photocatalysts and accelerating the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs are effective methods to improve the hydrogen evolution of composite photocatalysts. Non‐precious metal Ni photo‐deposition is anchored in situ on the ZnIn2S4 surface to generate the cocatalyst Ni(OH)2, which improves the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of the composite sample. Under visible light irradiation, the ZnIn2S4 semiconductor stimulates photon‐generated carriers. Ni2+ acts as the defect center of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs to promote the separation of carriers. It serves as the capture site of light‐generated holes to reduce the carrier recombination rate so that the light‐generated electrons on the ZnIn2S4 surface promote H+ reduction in H2. Ni(OH)2 provides the active site for oxidation reaction on the surface of semiconductor materials, allowing the carrier to be consumed faster and improving the photocatalytic stability of semiconductor materials. The addition of 2 wt% Ni2+ resulted in a hydrogen evolution rate of 10 066 µmol·g−1 ·h−1 for ZnIn2S4/Ni(OH)2, which was 2.5 times higher than that of pure ZnIn2S4. This paper presents a reference case for enhancing the stability of sulfide to promote its photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAs demand for customized specialty fibers grows, standardized production methods face challenges. This article reviews industry standards and discusses potentially disruptive techniques that enable rapid prototyping and fabrication of optical fiber devices. Furthermore, we showcase laser powder deposition's (LPD) potential for additive manufacturing (AM) of customized glass structures. In the case of, for example, fiber preforms, although the feasible size is smaller than the industry standard, utilizing laser‐based manufacturing techniques for a small batch production presents an attractive avenue for rapid prototyping and expedites material and design optimization. In the realm of AM of glass, LPD offers numerous benefits, including minimal shrinkage, high densification, and the ability to tailor glass composition to achieve desired optical properties. The article reviews the latest achievements and highlights future directions in this technology.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe sensitive response of antiferromagnetic order to As ions height in pressure environment makes the reduction of As ions height beneficial for rapid suppression of antiferromagnetism. The analysis from lattice parameters and electron density indicates that As ions height has a significant impact on antiferromagnetic suppression. The interrelationship between As ions height and antiferromagnetic suppression makes it easier for uniaxial pressure along the c‐axis environments to suppress antiferromagnetism, cause Lifshitz transition compared and induce Fermi surface nesting than uniaxial pressure along the a‐axis (or b‐axis) environments, which can explain the fluctuation of superconducting critical pressure measurements in experiments with uneven pressure application from a microscopic perspective.

AbstractFe3+ ions as near‐infrared (NIR) activators are emerging as an alternative to Cr3+.1–5 However, it is a challenge to develop Fe3+‐activated NIR phosphors featuring tunable optical properties, high efficiency, and thermal stability. Herein, we present a series of near‐unity internal quantum efficiency (IQE), wavelength‐tunable and thermal stability NIR‐emitting phosphors Sr2−yCaySc1−xSbO6:xFe3+ (S2−yCyS1−xS:xFe3+). Sr2ScSbO6:1%Fe3+ (SSS:1%Fe3+) phosphor shows broadband NIR emission at 904 nm and near‐unity IQE under excitation at 300 nm. Experimental and theoretical calculation results demonstrate that introduced Ca ions could increase the bandgap value and Debye temperature (ΘD) of host from Eg = 3.702 eV, ΘD = 609 K of y = 0 to Eg = 3.801 eV, ΘD = 692 K of y = 2. Significantly, the resultant S2−yCyS1−xS:1%Fe3+ NIR phosphors show wavelength‐tunable emission from 904 to 952 nm and high IQE of 84.6%–97.5% as well as enhanced thermal stability (I423K/I298K = 76.9%) of Ca2ScSbO6:1%Fe3+ (CSS:1%Fe3+) in comparison with that (I423K/I298K = 70.6%) of pristine sample. We fabricated an NIR light‐emitting diodes (LED) device by using CSS:1%Fe3+ NIR phosphors with ultraviolet LED chip and demonstrated its potential applications in anticounterfeiting, information encryption, and night vision.

ABSTRACTAimNew‐onset diabetes mellitus is a frequent and severe complication arising after liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to identify the risk factors for new‐onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplantation (NODALT) and to develop a risk prediction score system for relevant risks.MethodsWe collected and analyzed data from all recipients who underwent liver transplantation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The OR derived from a multiple logistic regression predicting the presence of NODALT was used to calculate the risk prediction score. The performance of the risk prediction score was externally validated in patients who were from the CLTR (China Liver Transplant Registry) database.ResultsA total of 468 patients met the outlined criteria and finished the follow‐up. Overall, NODALT was diagnosed in 115 (24.6%) patients. Age, preoperative impaired fasting glucose (IFG), postoperative fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and the length of hospital stay were significantly associated with the presence of NODALT. The risk prediction score includes age, preoperative IFG, postoperative FPG, and the length of hospital stay. The risk prediction score of the area under the receiver operating curve was 0.785 (95% CI: 0.724–0.846) in the experimental population and 0.782 (95% CI: 0.708–0.856) in the validation population.ConclusionsAge at the time of transplantation, preoperative IFG, postoperative FPG, and length of hospital stay were independent predictive factors of NODALT. The use of a simple risk prediction score can identify the patients who have the highest risk of NODALT and interventions may start early.
Modeling the Intraindividual Relation of Ability and Speed within a Test

Published: April 2024

AbstractUnderstanding the intraindividual relation between an individual's speed and ability in testing scenarios is essential to assure a fair assessment. Different approaches exist for estimating this relationship, that either rely on specific study designs or on specific assumptions. This paper aims to add to the toolbox of approaches for estimating this relationship. We propose the intraindividual speed‐ability‐relation (ISAR) model, which relies on nonstationarity of speed and ability over the course of the test. The ISAR model explicitly models intraindividual change in ability and speed within a test and assesses the intraindividual relation of speed and ability by evaluating the relationship of both latent change variables. Model estimation is good, when there are interindividual differences in speed and ability changes in the data. In empirical data from PISA, we found that the intraindividual relationship between speed and ability is not universally negative for all individuals and varies across different competence domains and countries. We discuss possible explanations for this relationship.
Use of an eco‐friendly preservation technology as a strategy to increase the microbiological shelf‐life of a novel ready‐to‐eat salad containing vegetable by‐products

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe objective of this investigation was to evaluate different UV‐C irradiation doses in a novel ready‐to‐eat vegetable product containing vegetable by‐products (red beet leaves) and determine the microbiological shelf‐life and quality indicators during refrigerated storage (5 ± 1°C). During processing, no chemical disinfection was carried out and after the packaging step, 3 doses of UV‐C irradiation were applied (CTRL: 0 kJ/m2, L: 1 kJ/m2, M: 4 kJ/m2, and H: 7 kJ/m2) on the vegetable product studied (50% Creola purple lettuce, 25% beet leaves, and 25% arugula). It was observed that the intermediate dose (M) was the most suitable treatment since it could increase in six times its microbiological shelf‐life. Additionally, M was the one that showed the lowest loss of total polyphenols and the one that best maintained the antioxidant capacity (DPPH), probably attributed to the decrease in the activity of deterioration enzyme, PPO and higher ascorbic acid content at day 4. When evaluating % CO2/O2 on headspace of bags, UV‐C treatments reached earlier the dynamic equilibrium. Finally, all UV‐C irradiation treatments were successful against the simulated contamination. In that way, significant reductions of L. innocua and E. coli were found, with differences from up to 2 log cycles during storage. Finally, it can be concluded that UV‐C treatment can increase the microbiological shelf‐life of the novel ready‐to‐eat vegetable product, with quality indicators stabilization.Practical applicationsReady‐to‐eat salads present a short shelf‐life, which hinders their commercialization. As preservation technologies are required, UV‐C irradiation is an eco‐friendly alternative for its preservation as it has the potential to replace traditional disinfection treatments by reducing the water footprint of the total process. Therefore, since the UV‐C treatment is applied in the last step of the process (after packaging the product), microbiological contamination occurring in this type of vegetable products during processing is minimized. However, additional investigation is necessary to assess its suitability for a novel ready‐to‐eat salad containing horticultural by‐products.

Troubling genderS and consumer well‐being: Going across, between and beyond the binaries to gender/sex/ual and intersectional diversity
Authors: Steinfield Laurel , Hutton Martina , Cheded Mohammed 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn this editorial we outline why a call for more inclusive, conscientious approaches to studying gender/sex/ual diversity and intersectional identities is needed, and how the articles in this special issue answered this call. We summarize key takeaways from a review of the literature, noting significant under‐representation of gender/sex/ual diversity and intersectional social locations. We also explore the history of the gender/sex binaries (e.g., female/male; women/men; femininity/masculinity) to help illuminate the premises upon which the popular trend of studying gender/sex differences between men and women and the invisibilities of gender/sex/ual diverse people exist. We conclude with guidance on how scholars and practitioners might engage in thinking, doing, and connecting to move the conversation forward.

Published: April 2024

AbstractDiaporthe spp. (including their asexual Phomopsis states) are important plant pathogens found widely in different host plants, such as pathogens, endophytes or saprobes. In this study, a new species of Diaporthe causing fruit rot in kiwifruit, Diaporthe xiuwenensis sp. nov was isolated from kiwifruit with apparent soft rot symptoms during storage in Guizhou Province, China. Identification was made using morphology and comparison of DNA sequence data of the nuclear ribosomal ITS (internal transcribed spacer) + tef1 (translation elongation factor‐1α) + tub2 (β‐tubulin) + cal (calmodulin) + his (histone H3) gene regions. This study further described a new Diaporthe species and discussed its morphology and phylogenetic relationships with other Diaporthe species. Koch's postulates tests identified the causative agents of kiwifruit soft rot. The results of pathogenicity test showed that Diaporthe xiuwenensis sp. nov was pathogenic to kiwifruit, and the Koch's postulates were completed.
Rethinking copyright exceptions in the era of generative AI: Balancing innovation and intellectual property protection
Authors: Thongmeensuk Saliltorn 
Published: April 2024

AbstractGenerative artificial intelligence (AI) systems, together with text and data mining (TDM), introduce complex challenges at the junction of data utilization and copyright laws. The inherent reliance of AI on large quantities of data, often encompassing copyrighted materials, results in multifaceted legal quandaries. Issues surface from the unfeasible task of securing permission from each copyright holder for AI training, further muddled by ambiguities in interpreting copyright laws and fair use provisions. Adding to the conundrum, the clandestine practices of data collection in proprietary AI systems obstruct copyright owners from detecting unauthorized use of their materials. The paper explores the exceptions to copyright laws for TDM in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan, recognizing their crucial role in fostering AI development. The EU has a two‐pronged approach under the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, with one exception catering specifically to research organizations, and another, more generalized one, that can be restricted by rightsholders. The UK allows noncommercial TDM research without infringement but rejected a broader copyright exception due to concerns from the creative sector. Japan has the broadest TDM exception globally, permitting the nonenjoyment use of works without permission, though this can potentially overlook the rights of copyright owners. Notably, the applicability of TDM exceptions to AI‐produced copies remains unclear, creating potential legal challenges. Furthermore, an exploration of the fair use doctrine in the United States provides insight into its potential application in AI development. It focuses on the transformative aspect of usage and its impact on the original work's potential market. This exploration underscores the necessity for clear, practical guidelines. In response to these identified challenges, this paper proposes a hybrid model for TDM exceptions emerges, along with recommended specific mechanisms. The model divides exceptions into noncommercial and commercial uses, providing a nuanced solution to complex copyright issues in AI training. Recommendations incorporate mandatory exceptions for noncommercial uses, an opt‐out clause for commercial uses, enhanced transparency measures, and a searchable portal for copyright owners. In conclusion, striking a delicate equilibrium between technological progress and the incentive for creative expression is of paramount importance. These suggested solutions aim to establish a harmonious foundation that nurtures innovation and creativity while honoring creators' rights, facilitating AI development, promoting transparency, and ensuring fair compensation for creators.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackground and AimMetabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been proposed as an alternative for the validated definition of metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We compared the abilities of MAFLD and MASLD to predict the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).MethodsSix thousand and ninety six participants from the 2017 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort who received a thorough medical health check‐up were chosen for the study. The associations between fatty liver status and coronary risk surrogates, such as 10‐year ASCVD risk and self‐reported cardiovascular events, were analysed.ResultsMAFLD and MASLD were identified in 2911 (47.7%) and 2758 (45.2%) patients, respectively. MAFLD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.14, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.78–2.57, p < .001) was more strongly independently associated with high ASCVD risk than MASLD (OR: 1.82, 95% CI, 1.52–2.18, p < .001) was in comparison with the absence of each condition. However, compared with MAFLD, MASLD alone was not associated with increased ASCVD risk. Multiple logistic regression revealed that MAFLD alone was significantly more strongly associated with a high risk of ASCVD (OR: 2.82; 95% CI: 1.13–7.01; p < .03) than MASLD alone.ConclusionsAlthough both MAFLD and MASLD were associated with different ASCVD risks, MAFLD predicted the ASCVD risk better than MASLD. The higher predictive ability of MAFLD compared to MASLD was attributed to metabolic dysfunction rather than moderate alcohol use.
