AbstractClimate change is altering the distribution and abundance of marine species, especially in Arctic and sub‐Arctic regions. In the eastern Bering Sea, home of the world's largest run of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), juvenile sockeye salmon abundance has increased and their migration path shifted north with warming, 2002–2018. The reasons for these changes are poorly understood. For these sockeye salmon, we quantify environmental and biological covariate effects within spatio‐temporal species distribution models. Spatio‐temporally, with respect to juvenile sockeye salmon densities: (1) sea surface temperature had a nonlinear effect, (2) large copepod, Calanus, a minor prey item, had no effect, (3) age‐0 pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), a major prey item during warm years, had a positive linear effect, and (4) juvenile pink salmon (O. gorbuscha) had a positive linear effect. Temporally, annual biomass of juvenile sockeye salmon was nonlinearly related to sea temperature and positively related to age‐0 pollock and juvenile pink salmon abundance. Results indicate that sockeye salmon distributed with and increased in abundance with increases in prey, and reached a threshold for optimal temperatures in the eastern Bering Sea. Changes in population dynamics and distribution of sockeye salmon in response to environmental variability have potential implications for projecting specific future food securities and management of fisheries in Arctic waters.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe mutualistic network of plant–pollinator also involves interspecific pollination caused by pollinator sharing. Plant–pollinator networks are commonly based on flower visit observations, which may not adequately represent the actual pollen transfer between co‐flowering plant species. Here, we compared the network structure of plant–pollinator interactions based on flower visits (FV) and pollen loads (PL) on the bodies of pollinators and tested how the degree of pollinator sharing in the two networks affected heterospecific pollen transfer (HPT) between plant species in a subalpine meadow. The FV and PL networks were largely overlapped. PL network included more links than FV network. The positions of plant and pollinator species in the FV and PL networks were positively correlated, indicating that both networks could detect major plant–pollinator interactions. The degree of pollinator sharing, based on either the FV or the PL network, positively influenced the amount of heterospecific pollen transferred between plant species pairs. However, the degree of pollinator sharing had a low overall explanatory power for HPT, and the explanatory powers of the FV and PL networks were similar. Overall, our study highlights the importance of FV and PL for understanding the drivers and outcomes of plant–pollinator interactions, as well as their relevance to HPT.

AbstractObjectiveRelapse of epileptic spasms after initial treatment of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is common. However, past studies of small cohorts have inconsistently linked relapse risk to etiology, treatment modality, and EEG features upon response. Using a large single‐center IESS cohort, we set out to quantify the risk of epileptic spasms relapse and identify specific risk factors.MethodsWe identified all children with epileptic spasms at our center using a clinical EEG database. Using the electronic medical record, we confirmed IESS syndrome classification and ascertained treatment, response, time to relapse, etiology, EEG features, and other demographic factors. Relapse‐free survival analysis was carried out using Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsAmong 599 children with IESS, 197 specifically responded to hormonal therapy and/or vigabatrin (as opposed to surgery or other second‐line treatments). In this study, 41 (21%) subjects exhibited relapse of epileptic spasms within 12 months of response. Longer duration of IESS prior to response (>3 months) was strongly associated with shorter latency to relapse (hazard ratio = 3.11; 95% CI 1.59–6.10; p = 0.001). Relapse was not associated with etiology, developmental status, or any post‐treatment EEG feature.SignificanceThis study suggests that long duration of IESS before response is the single largest clinical predictor of relapse risk, and therefore underscores the importance of prompt and successful initial treatment. Further study is needed to evaluate candidate biomarkers of epileptic spasms relapse and identify treatments to mitigate this risk.Plain Language SummaryRelapse of infantile spasms is common after initially successful treatment. With study of a large group of children with infantile spasms, we determined that relapse is linked to long duration of infantile spasms. In contrast, relapse was not associated with the cause of infantile spasms, developmental measures, or EEG features at the time of initial response. Further study is needed to identify tools to predict impending relapse of infantile spasms.

Published: April 2024

AbstractCO2 capture by absorption and stripping with aqueous amine is a well‐understood and widely used technology. However, drawbacks still exist in the practical applications, such as high energy consumption and easy degradation of the absorbents during the desorption process. In this paper, a novel NE‐1 absorbent was developed, and its suitable operating conditions were determined: concentration (45 wt.%), absorption temperature (40 °C), and desorption temperature (100 °C). The NE‐1 absorbent exhibits a high CO2 absorption capacity of 3.73 mol/kg, 1.33 times that of 30% monoethanolamine (MEA). After optimizing with carbamide as a corrosion inhibitor, 45% NE‐1a1 may attain an effective CO2 capacity of 2.5 mol/kg and over 70% desorption rate in five cycles, demonstrating excellent cycling stability performance. The research results have significant implications for developing an efficient and stable commercial carbon capture solvent and promoting the development of carbon reduction technologies. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Revisiting the effects of conventional and unconventional monetary policies
Authors: Noh Eul 
Published: April 2024

SummaryThis paper extends the discussion on the effects of the two distinctive monetary surprises in the literature. First, we show that the proxy of conventional monetary shock Granger causes the endogenous variables in the vector autoregressive model. Second, we provide evidence that the existing model can be exposed to a weak instrument problem. With our alternative model mitigating these concerns, the second monetary shock can be interpreted as unconventional monetary news in general. The estimation results show contractionary effect of the unconventional policy. We find increases in output after a positive conventional monetary surprise, suggesting an important Fed's information effect.

AbstractObjectivesThe therapist‐facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) has shown to predict therapy outcomes, demonstrating that high FIS therapists are more effective than low FIS therapists. There is a need for more insight into the variability in strengths and weaknesses in therapist skills. This study investigates whether a revised and extended FIS‐scoring leads to more differentiation in measuring therapists' interpersonal skills. Furthermore, we explorative examine whether subgroups of therapists can be distinguished in terms of differences in their interpersonal responses.MethodUsing secondary data analysis, 93 therapists were exposed to seven FIS‐clips. Responses of therapists using the original and the extended FIS scoring were rated.ResultsThree factors were found on the extended FIS scoring distinguishing supportive, expressive, and persuasive interpersonal responses of therapists. A latent profile analysis enlightened the presence of six subgroups of therapists.ConclusionUsing the revised and extended FIS‐scoring contributes to our understanding of the role of interpersonal skills in the therapeutic setting by unraveling the question what works for whom.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the association between Doppler patterns in fetuses with Down syndrome (DS) and their placental histopathologic findings.MethodsA retrospective cross‐sectional study was performed by collecting data from medical records of singleton pregnancies between January 2014 and January 2022, whose fetuses had a confirmed diagnosis of DS either prenatally or postnatally. Placental histopathology, maternal characteristics, and prenatal ultrasound (biometric parameters and umbilical artery [UA] Doppler) were evaluated.ResultsOf 69 eligible pregnant women, 61 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the sample, 15 fetuses had an estimated fetal weight < 10th percentile for gestational age (GA) and were considered small for gestational age (SGA). Thirty‐eight fetuses had increased resistance on the UA Doppler. Histologic changes were detected in 100% of the placentas, the most common being delayed villous maturation, alterations associated with poor fetal vascular perfusion, and villous dysmorphism. More than 50% of the placentas showed alterations related to placental insufficiency. We did not observe a statistically significant association between UA Doppler examination and placental alterations. All placentas analyzed in the SGA subgroup showed findings compatible with placental insufficiency.ConclusionWe found no statistically significant association between placental histopathologic findings and UA Doppler abnormalities in fetuses with DS. The placental alterations identified were delayed villous maturation, alterations associated with poor fetal vascular perfusion, and villous dysmorphism.

AbstractThe role of human papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of HPV 16 in patients with ESCC and its impact on theirprognosis. HPV 16 was detected using FISH, and TP53 status was evaluated via immunohistochemistry. The factors influencing prognosis were ananalyzed using the Log‐rank test and Cox regression analyses. Among 178 patients with ESCC, 105 and 73 patients were categorized into concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and postoperative chemoradiotherapy (POCRT) cohorts, respectively. Among 178 patients, 87 (48.87%) tested positive for HPV 16. Log‐rank tests revealed that the overall survival (OS) of patients with ESCC who were HPV 16‐positive was longer than that of those who were HPV 16‐negative (median OS: 57 months vs. 27 months, p < 0.01**). HPV 16 infection and TP53 mutation status were identified as independent events. The OS of patients with mutant TP53 who were HPV 16‐positive was longer than that of those who were HPV 16‐negative in both CCRT and POCRT cohorts (p = 0.002** for CCRT cohorts and p = 0.0023** for POCRT cohorts). Conversely, HPV 16 infection had no effect on OS in the wild‐type TP53 subgroup (p = 0.13 and 0.052 for CCRT and POCRT cohorts, respectively). As a conclusion, the positive rate of HPV 16 in ESCC in this study was 48.87% (87/178). Among the patients with ESCC who had TP53 mutation, those who were HPV 16‐positive exhibited a better prognosis than those who were HPV 16‐negative.
Reimagining our futures together: An early bird's‐eye view of inclusive organizational behavior

Published: April 2024

SummaryThe world has witnessed high‐intensity and low‐occurrence crises such as the COVID‐19 pandemic that have radically changed not only the discourses of health and safety but also permanently changed the realities of the workplace. The COVID‐19 pandemic‐related new normal has resulted in the exponential increase in the acceptance of “homeplace” or “work from home” in work‐related domains. With this sudden dramatic shift in the way the present and future work is being conceptualized, there is every reason to believe that employees struggle with a plethora of intertwined thoughts and emotions, particularly a heightened sense of social isolation and exclusion from their work environment. The present study is an attempt to address this concern in the broader ambit of inclusive organizational behavior. Using an interpretivist research approach, we dwell on the genesis of organizational behavior in changing times, particularly digitalization and social isolation. We employ inductive analysis of the employee data generated over two waves and use grounded theory to explain how inclusive behavior could be fostered within organizations. Our study provides an early conceptualization of inclusive organizational behavior by identifying four factors, namely, inclusive support, inclusive work design, inclusive culture, and inclusive mindset. Furthermore, based on the findings of the study, a three‐tier model of inclusive organizational behavior is proposed that links individual, group, and system‐level dynamics in the organizations.
Seasonal prediction of tropical cyclones activity in the North Indian Ocean during post‐monsoon months
Authors: Jaiswal Neeru , Singh Randhir 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe frequency and power dissipation index (PDI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the North Indian Ocean (NIO) has dramatically grown over the last 10 years, according to our analysis utilizing the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis version‐5 (ERA5) dataset and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) best track data over the period 1982–2021. Our findings indicate that the recent increase in the post‐monsoon TC PDI over NIO is caused by a reduction in wind shear and an increase in convective available potential energy over the Bay of Bengal. The importance of improving our understanding and developing more accurate predictions of the TCs activity has increased as TCs become more frequent and intense owing to the effects of global warming. This study therefore develops TC prediction models for frequency and PDI over NIO for various lead times that vary from 2 to 8 months in addition to the trend analysis employing the ERA5 and IMD best track data. The potential predictors used in proposed model are surface temperature (2 m temperature over land and sea surface temperature over oceanic regions), vertical wind shear, winds (zonal, meridional), geopotential height and temperature at different pressure levels during January–August. The developed models are remarkably accurate (skill is ~94%) in forecasting TCs frequency and PDI. The proposed models outperform the best performing models that are already in use for long‐range TC activity prediction. With a lead‐time as long as up to 8 months, this effort is the first to investigate the possibility of forecasting the frequency and PDI of post‐monsoon TC activity over the NIO with good accuracy. Therefore, the developed models show an operational potential for seasonal TC activity forecast over the NIO.

AbstractBackgroundMidbrain atrophy is a characteristic feature of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), observed in PSP‐Richardson's syndrome (PSP‐RS) and to a lesser extent PSP‐parkinsonism (PSP‐P).ObjectiveOur aim was to critically evaluate the utility of manual magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the midbrain tectal plate as a diagnostic biomarker in PSP.MethodsLength of the tectal plate and width of the superior and inferior colliculi were measured in 40 PSP (20 PSP‐RS and 20 PSP‐P) patients and compared with 20 Parkinson's disease and 20 healthy control subjects.ResultsTectal plate length was reduced in both PSP groups compared with Parkinson's disease and control subjects and was most abnormal in PSP‐RS followed by PSP‐P. Reduced tectal plate length was associated with worse PSP Rating Scale scores.ConclusionsSimple manual measurements of tectal plate length show utility as a diagnostic biomarker in PSP, particularly for PSP‐RS.

AbstractBackgroundChanges in health behaviors and weight are common during the early phases of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment, and may negatively impact treatment tolerability. Given that ALL is most prevalent in children, caregivers play an essential role in shaping health behaviors during treatment. This study presents a qualitative analysis of semi‐structured interviews with caregivers of youth in the early phases of ALL treatment.ProcedureCaregivers (N = 17, 95% female) of a child (M age = 6.76 years) diagnosed with ALL and on treatment for less than 1 year (M = 8.7 months since diagnosis) completed a semi‐structured interview about perceptions of their child's nutrition, physical activity, sedentary time, and weight during ALL treatment. Thematic analysis followed Braun and Clark's six‐step framework (2006). Two coders established reliability (alpha = .88) and used a multi‐pass coding system to extract themes.ResultsCaregivers’ concerns around their child's weight during ALL treatment primarily centered around avoiding malnutrition. Weight gain during treatment was less of a concern and often viewed as protective. Caregivers reported encouraging their child to eat palatable, calorie‐dense foods to mitigate risk for weight loss. Caregivers also expressed concern that children were less active and more sedentary due to treatment‐related pain. Caregivers discussed health behaviors during treatment as being child‐directed, rather than parent‐ or provider‐directed.ConclusionFuture interventions may consider strategies to engage in joint parent–child decisions and caregiver education around risks of excessive weight gain during treatment. Interventions should include anticipatory guidance and aim to support parents in developing skills to support their child's health behaviors during treatment.

AbstractAs an emerging field of current technological development, the heat dissipation performance of electronic packaging materials has become the key to determining product reliability. Therefore, the applied thermal interface materials (TIMs) need to simultaneously meet the performance indicators of thermal conductivity, mechanics, and insulation. Although BN had excellent in‐plane thermal conductivity and insulation performance, it is currently difficult to achieve vertical orientation of powder which leads the layered powder cannot complete a continuous and effective heat transfer path along the Z‐axis direction inside the composite material. In order to solve the above two problems, out‐of‐plane thermal conductive composite was prepared by introducing magnetic oriented method. In order to comprehensively evaluate the thermal conductivity, mechanical and electrical properties, BN@Fe3O4/EP magnetic oriented composites were compared with BN@PDA‐Al2O3/EP composite prepared by mechanical blending method. The vertical thermal conductivity of the magnetic oriented composite material was 2.24 W/(m·K) at 30 vol%, which was 3.39 times that of the blended composite material and 12.4 times that of pure EP. This proves that the magnetic oriented composite materials prepared by the research institute can meet the vertical heat transfer needs in the field of electronic packaging and have high research value in this area.Highlights
BN@Fe3O4 core–shell particles were prepared with both thermal conductivity and magnetic controllability.
The thermosetting composites were prepared by heated through preliminary gel point and then cured at high temperature.
The orientation of powder inside the matrix was constructed, resulted in excellent out‐of‐plane heat transfer performance.
Comparisons were made between various properties of magnetic oriented materials and conventional blend materials.
The magnetic orientation method is feasible in the field of electronic packaging.

AbstractThe human health consequences of climate change and extreme weather events are well documented. Published literature details the unique effects and necessary adaptation planning for people with physical disabilities in general; however, the specific impacts and plans for people with limb loss have yet to be explored. In this article, we discuss the impacts related to threats due to heat, cold, severe storms, and power outages. We describe how climate change uniquely affects people with limb loss and underscore the need for rehabilitation care providers and researchers to: (1) study the health impacts of climate change on people with lower limb loss; (2) educate themselves and patients on the climate crisis and climate preparedness; (3) co‐develop resiliency strategies with patients, governments, and community organizations to improve adaptive capacity; and (4) advocate for policy changes that will enact protections for this at‐risk population.
