Bayesian analysis of optimal burn‐in policy for heterogeneous components with minimal repair
Authors: Ling Xiaoliang , Yin Ruijie , Li Ping 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study develops a Bayesian method to analyze optimal burn‐in policy for heterogeneous components with minimal repair. We use the non‐homogeneous Poisson processes with different power law intensity functions to model the minimal repair processes for heterogeneous components. Since the component from the weak subpopulation may fail more frequently, the total number of minimal repairs can be used for establishing a screening rule. By screening, we can decide whether the component after burn‐in should be eliminated or not. Considering the uncertainty of model parameters, we generate a minimally repaired data set of components by simulation. Then, we obtain the model parameters estimators by using Bayesian method combined with the existing data. We further analyze and get the optimal burn‐in settings under cost and performance optimization model. A numerical example is used to verify the effectiveness of the Bayesian method.

AbstractDue to the noise interference and the weak characterization ability of the fault vibration signal of rotation vector (RV) reducer crankshaft bearing, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results for the available fault diagnosis methods. For that, this paper proposes a variable‐speed‐condition fault diagnosis method with WSO‐VMD and ResNet‐SWIN. A signal reconstruction method with WSO‐VMD was carried out, Firstly, the performance of VMD algorithm is improved by using war strategy optimization algorithm to select parameters adaptively. Then the signal is reconstructed considering the fault characteristic frequency, so as to realize the noise reduction of the signal. By using the residual network module and attention mechanism to replace the first stage of the original SWIN model, a novel ResNet‐SWIN fault diagnosis model is established to enhance the feature extraction ability for the weak signal. The experiments with the constant‐operating‐condition and the variable‐operating‐condition are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that, whether at variable‐speed or constant‐speed conditions, WSO algorithm has been proven to be the fastest convergence speed compared with WOA, SSA, and NGO optimization algorithms, and by the signal reconstruction with WSO‐VMD, the variance evaluation indicator of the reconstructed signal has 36%, 21%, 46%, and 40%, respectively. ResNet‐SWIN model has achieved the optimal diagnosis accuracy compared with SWIN, VIT, and CNN‐SVM models in both variable‐speed and constant‐speed conditions.
Assessing the link between energy intensity, renewable energy, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: Somoye Oluwatoyin Abidemi 
Published: March 2024

AbstractTurkey occupies a significant position in the global economy and plans to achieve net‐zero emissions by 2053. Thus, this study uses the non–linear ARDL (NARDL) framework to analyze the effect of energy intensity (EINT), renewable energy (REN), and economic growth (GDP) on CO2 in Turkey from 1970 to 2021. The results are as follows: (i) The variables have a long‐term link; (ii) Over the long‐term, a positive (negative) change in EINT increases (decreases) CO2; a positive (negative) change in REN decreases (increases) CO2; and a positive (negative) change in GDP increases (decreases) CO2. (iii) In the short‐run, an EINT and GDP negative change decreases CO2. In light of these findings, Turkish policymakers should set energy efficiency standards and support clean energy initiatives, which are some of the practical ways of lowering CO2 and addressing other climate challenges.

Published: March 2024

AbstractEsomeprazole (ESO) is one of the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that is commonly used to treat extreme acidity and gastrointestinal irritation. Since it is used at a high rate, it is now classified as a pollutant of emerging concern (CEC). ESO gravely jeopardizes the health of living beings because it persists in water and wastewater sources even after standard treatment. Studies on the effective removal of PPIs, especially ESO, are scarce. In the current study, esomeprazole is disintegrated in water using electrochemical oxidation (EO). Titanium cathode with sodium sulfate electrolyte and carbon coated titanium (C/Ti) anode were used to apply EO. Through optimization studies utilizing COD measurement, it was discovered that 93% of the COD could be removed at pH 3, 60 mM sodium sulfate concentration, 300 min treatment period, and 115 mA cm−2 current density. Whereas TOC research revealed only 44% mineralization, HPLC‐PDA experiments revealed 100% ESO transformation. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) studies were used to propose a degradation mechanism and pathway. The primary processes of degradation included desulfurization, thioperoxole group formation, sulfinyl benzimidazole group breakage, and demethylation. More than 20 reuses of the anode and cathode materials were possible without significantly lowering their oxidation efficiency.

AbstractBackgroundOne of the main problems in the poultry industry is excess body fat, and the anti‐fat effect of Cratagus extract has been confirmed in several studies.ObjectivesThe present study was carried out to investigate the effects of hawthorn extract (Crataegus oxyacantha) on growth performance, haematological variables and hepatic gene expression in broiler chickens reared at high altitude (2100 m).MethodsA total of 225‐day‐old chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into three treatments. Experimental treatments were prepared by adding 0.0, 0.2 and 0.4 mL of hawthorn extract per litre of consumption of water.ResultsThe results showed that weight gain and feed conversion ratio were significantly improved and abdominal fat decreased by consumption of two levels of Crateagus extract when compared to the control (p < 0.05). Consumption of hawthorn extract decreased circulatory levels of malondialdehyde, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol and low‐density lipoproteins cholesterol but increased ferric reducing antioxidant power and high‐density lipoproteins cholesterol (p < 0.05). Hawthorn extract caused an up‐regulation of catalase, superoxide dismutase1, glutathione peroxidase1 and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor alpha but reduced the expression of key lipogenic enzymes (p < 0.05).ConclusionsOverall, consumption of 0.4 mL hawthorn extract per litre of drinking water, improved growth performance, suppressed lipogenesis and enhanced antioxidant response.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundInformed consent is an essential process in clinical decision‐making, through which healthcare providers educate patients about benefits, risks, and alternatives of a procedure. Statistical risk information is difficult to communicate and the effectiveness of aids aimed at supporting this type of communication is uncertain. This systematic review aims to study the impact of risk communication adjuncts on patients' understanding of statistical risk in surgery and interventional procedures.MethodsA systematic search was performed across Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science until July 2021 with a repeated search in September 2022. RCTs and observational studies examining risk communication tools (e.g., information leaflets and audio‐video) in adult (age >16) patients undergoing a surgical or interventional procedure were included. Primary outcomes included the objective assessment of statistical risk recall. Secondary outcomes included patient attitudes with respect to statistical information. Due to the study heterogeneity, a narrative synthesis was performed.ResultsA total of 4348 articles were identified, and following abstract and full‐text screening 14 articles, including 9 RCTs, were included. The total number of adult patients was 1513. The most common risk communication tool used was written information (n = 7). Most RCTs (7/9, 77.8%) showed statistically significant improvements in patient understanding of statistical risk in the intervention group. Quality assessment found some concerns with all RCTs.ConclusionRisk communication tools appear to improve recall of statistical risk. Additional prospective trials comparing various aids simultaneously are warranted to determine the most effective method of improving understanding.

»Cadrer le dérèglement«. Politiken der institutionellen Intervention
Authors: Grüner Jakob 
Published: March 2024

ZusammenfassungInstitutionen sind heterogene Gefüge, die Personen, Dinge, Praktiken und symbolische Systeme zusammenführen und dadurch psychosoziale Wirklichkeiten erzeugen. Sie können Gruppen unterwerfen oder Kreativität und Verantwortung fördern. In Anbetracht der Theorie und Praxis der institutionellen Psychotherapie – einer radikalen Bewegung, die in den 1940er Jahren von einer Gruppe um Lucien Bonnafé und François Tosquelles an der psychiatrischen Klinik Saint Alban gegründet wurde und auf eine Veränderung der politischen und sozialen Bedingungen für die Behandlung der Patienten abzielte – fragt der Beitrag nach einem positiven Verständnis der Rolle von Institutionen. Wie lassen sich Institutionen als Räume der Befreiung denken? Diese Frage war lehrreich für das Projekt der institutionellen Psychotherapie, wie es von Félix Guattari in »Psychoanalyse et Transversalité« (1972) in Reflexion über die Arbeit in La Borde dargelegt wurde. Am Beispiel von »la grille« – einem Organisationsschema für die täglichen Aufgaben in der Klinik – skizziert der Beitrag mögliche Mikropolitiken, die es der Institution erlauben, sich für ihre eigenen Problematisierungen zu öffnen.

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag nimmt die Entstehungszeit der europäischen Seenotrettungsgesellschaften in den Blick, indem er die Organisation zweier 1824 in Holland gegründeter Vereine vergleicht. Während die in Amsterdam gegründete Rettungsgesellschaft binnen kurzer Zeit eine ausgeprägte Rettungstätigkeit entwickelt, wird diese in den von Rotterdam aus verantworteten Küstengebieten von lokalen Gegebenheiten behindert. Es sind bürokratische Formen und Medien, die dennoch beiden Vereinen auf dem Papier eine vergleichbare organisationale Stabilität verleihen.
Unraveling the complexity of vascular tone regulation: a multiscale computational approach to integrating chemo-mechano-biological pathways with cardiovascular biomechanics
Authors: Marino Michele , Sauty Bastien , Vairo Giuseppe 
Published: March 2024

AbstractVascular tone regulation is a crucial aspect of cardiovascular physiology, with significant implications for overall cardiovascular health. However, the precise physiological mechanisms governing smooth muscle cell contraction and relaxation remain uncertain. The complexity of vascular tone regulation stems from its multiscale and multifactorial nature, involving global hemodynamics, local flow conditions, tissue mechanics, and biochemical pathways. Bridging this knowledge gap and translating it into clinical practice presents a challenge. In this paper, a computational model is presented to integrate chemo-mechano-biological pathways with cardiovascular biomechanics, aiming to unravel the intricacies of vascular tone regulation. The computational framework combines an algebraic description of global hemodynamics with detailed finite element analyses at the scale of vascular segments for describing their passive and active mechanical response, as well as the molecular transport problem linked with chemo-biological pathways triggered by wall shear stresses. Their coupling is accounted for by considering a two-way interaction. Specifically, the focus is on the role of nitric oxide-related molecular pathways, which play a critical role in modulating smooth muscle contraction and relaxation to maintain vascular tone. The computational framework is employed to examine the interplay between localized alterations in the biomechanical response of a specific vessel segment—such as those induced by calcifications or endothelial dysfunction–and the broader global hemodynamic conditions—both under basal and altered states. The proposed approach aims to advance our understanding of vascular tone regulation and its impact on cardiovascular health. By incorporating chemo-mechano-biological mechanisms into in silico models, this study allows us to investigate cardiovascular responses to multifactorial stimuli and incorporate the role of adaptive homeostasis in computational biomechanics frameworks.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Burnout was already a significant problem before the pandemic, but in the aftermath became a serious concern and a public health and occupational health priority. This study had two aims. First, we investigated how different healthy workplace dimensions and other health individual-level variables are related to burnout. Second, we examined differences in terms of presenteeism, absenteeism, and quality of life between employees who report burnout symptoms and those who do not.

Methods
Participants were 1702 Portuguese employees from various organizations; 69.68% were female, age ranged from 18 to 72 years (mean = 43.25 years, SD = 10.40). Almost half of the participants (49.9%; 851 participants) reported having at least one burnout symptom.

Results
Participants reported that they have felt exhausted (43.7%), irritated (34.5%) and sad (30.5%) always or very often in the last 4 weeks. Regression analysis revealed that the global score on burnout symptoms was negatively related to leadership engagement, psychosocial work environment, personal health resources, health behaviours, and satisfaction with salary. In addition, the global score on burnout symptoms was positively related to worker involvement, enterprise community involvement, perceived stress, and screen time at work. Furthermore, females tend to report a higher level of burnout symptoms compared to males. In addition, burnout has an impact on sickness absenteeism, presenteeism, and quality of life.

Conclusions
Our findings have an important contribution to understanding and promoting a healthier work environment, and reinforce the need for measures and policies to promote mental health, manage stress, and prevent burnout in the workplace.

Published: March 2024

AbstractResearch evaluating the impact of silvopastoral systems on physical and biological properties of Amazonian soils is scarce. Thus, this study aimed to compare the soil carbon storage potential and physical and chemical soil properties of silvopastoral systems (SPS) and conventional pastoral systems (CPS) in the San Martin region of Peru. Using the Walkley and Black method, we analyzed soil organic matter at two different depths (0–15 cm and 15–30 cm). In addition, bulk density, soil moisture, total porosity, and mechanical resistance were measured in both systems. The highest (P < 0.05) carbon stocks were reported at 0–15 cm of depth with values of 31.4 Mg ha−1 and 34.4 Mg ha−1 for CPS and SPS, respectively. At 15–30 cm depth, the total carbon stock was higher for SPS, with 29.12 Mg ha−1, than for CPS, which had 26.4 Mg ha−1. Despite the absence of statistically significant differences, soil carbon stocks were higher in SPS. No significant differences in soil moisture were found between systems, although soil moisture was slightly greater in SPS than CPS (28 and 25%, respectively). The CPS had 59% of the total porosity, which was higher than the SPS. Mechanical resistance was lower in SPS (2.15 kg/cm2) than in CPS (2.33 kg/cm2) at 10 cm of depth. These results indicated that the SPS has the potential to store more carbon and improve physical and chemical traits in the soil than the CPS.
Procurement portfolio management for resilient supply chains: value of information for risk averse decision making
Authors: Merzifonluoglu Yasemin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this study, we investigate the replenishment decisions for firms that rely on multiple sources of supplies, including regular forward contracts, option contracts, and the spot market. Our research aims to tackle the challenges arising due to supplier disruptions and the volatility of spot market prices that are correlated with these disruptions. We develop and solve multi-stage stochastic programming models that incorporate demand and supplier disruption information updates, while considering both risk-neutral and risk averse (CVaR) objectives. These models assist organizations with varying risk attitudes in achieving maximum performance by optimally selecting a procurement portfolio based on the availability and quality of updated information. Through analytical solutions and extensive numerical studies, our findings offer novel insights to organizations and policymakers, empowering them to enhance their supply chain resilience during critical supply disruption situations. Therefore, this research has broader implications and aligns with the multiple sustainability objectives outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Published: March 2024

AbstractRoutine outcome monitoring (ROM) has become an increasingly utilized tool in therapeutic practice that has the potential to improve therapy outcomes. This study aimed to synthesize the findings of existing qualitative studies investigating how clinicians use ROM in their work with clients. A systematic search of qualitative studies on clinicians’ experience with the use of ROM in mental health services was conducted via PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Qualitative meta-analysis was used to synthesize the finding of the primary studies. Forty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The analysis resulted in 21 meta-categories organized into six clusters, namely (1) obtaining clinically relevant information, (2) adapting treatment, (3) facilitating communication, (4) enhancing the therapeutic relationship, (5) facilitating change in clients, and (6) personalized usage of ROM. The meta-analysis revealed that clinicians utilized ROM in diverse ways, including both informational and communicational functions. From the clinicians’ perspective, ROM was an element that, on the one hand, introduced additional structure and standardization in treatment and, on the other hand, allowed for greater flexibility and tailoring of treatment.

Abstract
Background
The withdrawal timing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) among patients in need of elective invasive surgery is based on DOAC pharmacokinetics in order to perform the procedure out of the DOAC peak plasma concentration. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of plasma levels of DOACs out of trough range in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in need of elective cardiac procedure.

Materials and Methods
We evaluated all consecutive AF patients on DOAC therapy in need of elective cardiac procedure, admitted to our division from January 2022 to March 2022. All patients underwent DOAC plasma dosing the morning of procedure day. They were categorized as in range, above range, and below range, according to the DOAC reference range at the downstream point. The timing of discontinuation of DOAC therapy was considered as appropriate or not, according to the current recommendations. The clinical predictors of out-of-range DOAC plasma levels have been evaluated.

Results
We included 90 consecutive AF patients (56.6% male, mean age 72.95 ± 10.12 years); 74 patients (82.22%) showed DOAC concentration out of the expected reference range. In half of them (n, 37), the DOAC plasma concentration was below the trough reference range. Of the study population, 17.7% received inappropriate DOAC dosages (10% overdosing, 7% underdosing), and 35.5% had incorrect timing of DOAC withdrawal (26% prolonged, 9.5% shortened). At multivariable analysis, inappropriate longer DOAC withdrawal period (OR 10.13; P ≤ 0.0001) and increased creatinine clearance (OR 1.01; P = 0.0095) were the independent predictors of plasma DOAC levels below the therapeutic trough range. In contrast, diabetes mellitus (OR 4.57; P = 0.001) was the only independent predictor of DOAC plasma level above the therapeutic trough range.

Conclusion
Increased creatinine clearance and inappropriate longer drug withdrawal period are the only independent predictors of DOAC plasma levels below the reference range; in contrast, diabetes is significantly correlated with DOAC plasma levels above the reference.
