Published: March 2024

AbstractLocalized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors, which enable nanoscale confinement and manipulation of light, offer the enhanced sensitivity and electromagnetic energy localization. The integration of LSPR with the fiber-optic technology has led to the development of compact and versatile sensors for miniaturization and remote sensing. This comprehensive review explores various sensor configurations, fiber types, and geometric shapes, highlighting their benefits in terms of sensitivity, integration, and performance improvement. Fabrication techniques such as focused non-chemical bonding strategies and self-assembly of nanoparticles are discussed, providing control over nanostructure morphology and enhancing sensor performance. Bio-applications of fiber-optic LSPR (FOLSPR) sensors are detailed, specifically in biomolecular interactions and analysis of proteins, pathogens and cells, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and other small molecules (organic compounds and heavy metal ions). Surface modification and detection schemes are emphasized for their potential for label-free and real-time biosensing. The challenges and prospects of FOLSPR sensors are addressed, including the developments in sensitivity, fabrication techniques, and measurement reliability. Integration with emerging technologies such as nanomaterials is highlighted as a promising direction for future research. Overall, this review provides insights into the advancements and potential applications of FOLSPR sensors, paving the way for sensitive and versatile optical biosensing platforms in various fields.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThere is a growing trend for groups associated with drug use to exploit social media platforms to propagate content that poses a risk to the population, especially those susceptible to drug use and addiction. Detecting drug-related social media content has become important for governments, technology companies, and those responsible for enforcing laws against proscribed drugs. Their efforts have led to the development of various techniques for identifying and efficiently removing drug-related content, as well as for blocking network access for those who create it. This study introduces a manually annotated Twitter dataset consisting of 112,057 tweets from 2008 to 2022, compiled for use in detecting associations connected with drug use. Working in groups, expert annotators classified tweets as either related or unrelated to drug use. The dataset was subjected to exploratory data analysis to identify its defining features. Several classification algorithms, including support vector machines, XGBoost, random forest, Naive Bayes, LSTM, and BERT, were used in experiments with this dataset. Among the baseline models, BERT with textual features achieved the highest F1-score, at 0.9044. However, this performance was surpassed when the BERT base model and its textual features were concatenated with a deep neural network model, incorporating numerical and categorical features in the ensemble method, achieving an F1-score of 0.9112. The Twitter dataset used in this study was made publicly available to promote further research and enhance the accuracy of the online classification of English-language drug-related content.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of pectin extracted from orange waste by acid hydrolysis and prepared Pectin/ hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)/ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) biofilm for food packaging applications. The pectin/HEC/ZnO biofilms were prepared in an aqueous solution at room temperature using solvent casting method and characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical properties, and water vapor permeability-WVP were evaluated. Moreover, its antimicrobial activity against Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enterica Typhimiurium) and two Gram positive bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus), and also has antifungal activity against Candida albicans was assessed. The obtained results display that the water vapor permeability (WVP) indicated a reduction in permeability with increased ZnO concentration, with WVPs ranging from 2.55 × 10−12 to 4.28 × 10−12 gm/pas.m2, which indicates that our pectin/HEC/ZnO bionanocomposite biofilm could efficiently decrease moisture transfer, thereby potentially extending the shelf-life of packaged food products. Furthermore, the results showed enhanced tensile strength and flexibility in the biofilms with the addition of 1% ZnO nanoparticles from 1.2 to 2.6 MPa and 4.5 to 13 MPa respectively. The WVP indicated a reduction in permeability with increased ZnO concentration, with WVPs ranging from 2.55 × 10−12 to 4.28 × 10−12 gm/pas.m2. The antimicrobial activity against pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans was significant, with a 99.96% reduction in E. coli counts at a biofilm concentration of 200 mg/mL. Furthermore, the current study revealed that the synthesized bionanocomposite biofilms had excellent qualities such as transparency, flexibility, low cost, and being environmentally friendly. The pectin/HEC/ZnO bionanocomposite was found to be an ideal biofilm for food packaging due to its safety and affordability, which is able to prolong food shelf-life.

Abstract
Background
Balance confidence is an essential component of fall risk assessment in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS).

Aims
The aims of this cross-sectional study were to 1) investigate the ability of the 16-item Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC-16), 6-item Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC-6), and each item of the ABC-16 for distinguishing fallers and 2) determine cutoff scores for these scales to discriminate fallers and non-fallers in pwMS.

Methods
One hundred and fifty-six participants [fallers/non-fallers: 60 (38.5%)/96 (61.5%), median EDSS: 1.5] were enrolled. Balance confidence was assessed using the ABC-16 and ABC-6. The self-reported number of falls in the past three months was recorded. Descriptive assessments, including walking, balance, and cognition were performed. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses were conducted to estimate the sensitivities and specificities of the ABC-16 and ABC-6.

Results
Both the ABC-16 (AUC: 0.85) and ABC-6 (AUC: 0.84) had the discriminative ability for falls. Each item of the ABC-16 scale was a significantly related to falls [odds ratio (OR) range: 1.38 to 1.89]. Items 8 and 10 had the highest odds ratio (OR: 1.85; 95%CI: 1.47–2.33, OR: 1.89; 95%CI: 1.49–2.40; respectively). We found cutoff scores of ≤ 70 of 100 (sensitivity: 71.67, specificity: 86.46) and ≤ 65/100 (sensitivity: 76.67, specificity: 79.17) in discrimination between fallers and non-fallers for the ABC-16 and ABC-6, respectively.

Conclusion
Both original and short forms of the ABC scale are an efficient tool for discriminating fallers and non-fallers in pwMS. Although all items are related to falls, outdoor walking activities have the strongest associations with falls than other items.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
The COVID-19 pandemic has promoted behavioral changes and elevated mental distress. Addictive behaviors often increased, generating mental health problems. The present study’s primary aim was to investigate associations between different types of behavioral addictions (including behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena) and different types of mental health problems. The secondary aims were: (i) to identify possible sources of heterogeneity and (ii) to explore potential moderators in associations between different types of behavioral addictions (including behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena) and different types of mental health problems.

Recent Findings
Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), studies from the period between December 2019 and May 2023 were sought from PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar in its first ten pages. The articles’ relevance was screened and evaluated. The included papers’ quality was assessed according to the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Fisher’s Z scores were computed to present magnitudes of associations and I2 indices were used to estimate levels of heterogeneity in the meta-analysis. Among the 85 included studies (N = 104,425 from 23 countries; mean age = 24.22 years; 60.77% female), most were internet-related behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena (28 studies on social media, 25 on internet, 23 on smartphone, and 12 on gaming). The pooled estimation of the associations showed that higher levels of behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena related to internet use (regardless of type) were associated with more mental health problems (regardless of which type). Moderator analyses showed that almost no variables affected heterogeneity for the founded associations.

Summary
Most studies of behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena focused on internet-related behaviors, with studies suggesting relationships with specific types of mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, associations between behavioral addictions (including behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena) and mental health problems found in the present systematic review and meta-analysis were comparable to the associations identified in studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic. How to help people reduce internet-related behavioral addictions, related conditions, and phenomena and address associated mental health concerns are important topics for healthcare providers.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
This narrative review provides an update of our knowledge on the relation between heavy cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) and the brain based on (f)MRI studies conducted in the past 5 years.

Recent Findings
Heavy cannabis use and CUD are associated with structural brain changes—particularly volume—as well as altered resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in several networks and regions. Task-based fMRI studies reveal altered activity and connectivity in cannabis users compared to controls, but consistency of the results is domain dependent. Heaviness of use, CUD status, age, sex, and tobacco co-use are important potential moderators of the effects of cannabis on the brain.

Summary
Heavy cannabis use and CUD are associated with differences in brain structure and function, but causality remains unclear, and long-term effects following abstinence require further investigation. Considering moderators of the effects of cannabis on the brain is crucial to further assess individual differences in the impact of cannabis use.
Burnout bei Tierärzten im Altersvergleich
Authors: Böckelmann Irina , Pohl Robert , Thielmann Beatrice 
Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Tierärzte unterliegen hohen arbeitsbedingten Belastungsfaktoren, die sich negativ auf die psychische Gesundheit auswirken können. Es ist bekannt, dass die Prävalenz von Burnout und das Suizidrisiko bei Tierärzten weltweit hoch sind. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Ausprägungen der Burnout-Dimensionen und des Burnout-Risikos in drei Altersgruppen bei deutschen Tierärzten zu untersuchen sowie die berufs- und arbeitsplatzbezogene Situation der Tierärzte darzustellen.

Methodik
Es nahmen 1053 Tierärzte (35,4 % Männer, 64,6 % Frauen) verschiedener Fachbereiche an der Befragung teil. Die Erhebung der Daten erfolgte mithilfe eines Fragebogens zu soziodemografischen und berufsbezogenen Informationen sowie des Maslach-Burnout-Inventars (MBI). Die Auswertungen erfolgten anhand einer Altersgruppen(AG)-Einteilung: AG I ≤ 35 Jahre (n = 348), AG II > 35–≤ 45 Jahre (n = 361) und AG > 45 Jahre (n = 344).

Ergebnisse
Bei der Betrachtung der Burnout-Dimensionen innerhalb der drei Altersgruppen zeigten sich signifikante Unterschiede in den Dimensionen „Emotionale Erschöpfung“ (pKruskal-Wallis = 0,025) und „Leistungsfähigkeit“ (pKruskal-Wallis = 0,003). Die Tierärzte der mittleren Altersgruppe waren im Durchschnitt mehr emotional erschöpft. Die jüngeren Tierärzte gaben eine schlechtere Leistungsfähigkeit als die anderen beiden Altersgruppen an. Ein Drittel der Befragten hatte kein Burnout-Risiko. Jeder zweite Tierarzt (50,9 %) gab einige Burnout-Symptome an. 14,6 % der Studienteilnehmer wurden in die Gruppe „Burnout-Risiko“ eingestuft. Die Prävalenz des Burnout-Risikos nach der Klassifikation von Kalimo et al. lag in der vorliegenden Studie bei 17,0 % in der AG I, bei 15,8 % in der AG II und bei 11,0 % in der AG III.

Diskussion
Die hohe Prävalenz des Burnout-Risikos und der hohe Anteil der Tierärzte mit einigen Burnout-Symptomen zeigt die zwingende Notwendigkeit zur Durchführung der Gefährdungsbeurteilung auf, um Belastungsfaktoren zu erkennen und ihnen entgegenzuwirken. Neben technischen, organisatorischen und persönlichen Schutzmaßnahmen bieten sich hier auch Maßnahmen zur Stärkung der persönlichen Ressourcen der Mitarbeitenden aller Altersgruppen an.
Information about changes in platform economy taxation diminishes optimism regarding future use
Authors: Mol Jantsje M. , Molho Catherine 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSome economic interactions are based on trust, others on monetary incentives or monitoring. In the tax compliance context, the monitoring approach creates compliance based on audits and fines (enforced compliance), in contrast to the trust-based (voluntary compliance) approach, which is based on taxpayers’ willingness to comply. Here, we examine how changes in taxation regarding platform economy revenues affect intended labor supply on such platforms. New EU legislation, effective from 2023, will mandate data sharing between platforms and tax authorities across Europe, thus resulting in increased monitoring. We investigate how this upcoming shift in monitoring power affects the intended use of platforms and how it may interact with users’ trust. We use a survey among platform workers (N = 626) in the Netherlands to examine views of the proposed regulation change, corrected for the proportion of platform income and several measures of trust. We experimentally manipulate information by either informing participants about the upcoming monitoring change or not. Results show that informing respondents about the change negatively affects expected supply of labor, and this effect is independent of respondents’ trust. We discuss the policy implications of these results.
Prediction of fatigue lifetime and fatigue limit of aluminum parts produced by PBF-LB/M using a statistical defect distribution
Authors: Strauß Lea , Löwisch Günther 
Published: March 2024

AbstractFatigue tests were performed with samples of AlSi10Mg produced by PBF-LB/M. The failure is caused by inhomogeneities nearby or at the surface of the samples. Therefore, the fatigue strength depends on the crack growth behavior at inhomogeneities under the local stress state at the surface, including residual stresses. For a given size of the failure-causing inhomogeneity, the fatigue lifetime can be described using a crack growth law proposed by Murakami et al. The fatigue limit is given by the threshold value of fatigue crack growth according to the approach of El Haddad. Knowing the distribution of the maximum value of inhomogeneity size in a specimen, it is possible to estimate the S–N curve for 10%, 50%, and 90% crack probability.
Addressing ethical issues in outdoor health practice: a scoping review
Authors: Knowles Ben , Marsh Pauline , Prehn Jacob , Maxwell Hazel 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe Australian Outdoor Health (OH) sector provides diverse practices that support an interconnected human and ecological approach to health and wellbeing. There is an urgent need for the OH sector to develop a comprehensive ethical practice framework, to enable professional recognition and other initiatives to progress. This would bring the sector in line with similar health and wellbeing occupations including social work, psychology, and counselling that have established professional recognition. A key feature of professional recognition is the acceptance of a Code of Ethics or Ethical Framework to guide practice and enhance standing in the field. This scoping review of the literature is undertaken to aid in developing an OH ethical practice framework. Findings suggest the framework should incorporate two overarching themes of beneficence and nonmaleficence, and contain six guiding principles: diversity, equity, advocacy, justice, accountability, and competence. We discuss these findings, situate them within broader OH community and health sector discourses, and make recommendations for establishing an Australian ethical practice framework to assist the move towards professional recognition and drive ethical OH practice.
Law, Practical Reason, and Future Generations
Authors: Riley Stephen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractComplex moral and political problems like climate change have the capacity to make wrongful (in)actions appear reasonable. This has significance for the central questions of jurisprudence. If we cannot plan rationally for the future, or acts now thought to be rational and blameless become progressively more blameworthy, central elements in our understanding of law – planning, reasonableness, and authority – may diminish in their ability to explain the function and normativity of law. If this is the case, legal positivism and legal non-positivism appear to be confronted with significant, but different, challenges depending on the extent that they conceive of law as future-orientated planning or as a form of practical reasonableness.
Investigation of operational limit of a pulsating heat pipe by estimating local heat transfer
Authors: Iwata Naoko , Bozzoli Fabio 
Published: March 2024

AbstractHow pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) reach their operational limit has not yet been fully understood. This study aims to provide a complete picture of the termination mechanism of the self-oscillation of vapor and liquid. Experimental studies on a 10-turn PHP with HFC-134a were conducted and the filling ratio (FR) was from 20% to 80%. The thermo-fluid behavior in the PHP was investigated by temperature measurements with a high-resolution and high-speed infrared camera and estimation of fluid-to-wall heat flux distributions by solving inverse heat conduction problems. The results suggested that the PHP, increasing heat load, reached the operational limit due to different mechanisms depending on the filling ratio: at a high FR (80%), the liquid volume ratio increased with the increase of the operating temperature, resulting in the compressed liquid phase. At a low FR (20%), when a large amount of heat was applied, the fluid in the evaporator dried out and became a superheated vapor. The PHP with an optimum FR (50%) transferred the maximum heat under the same evaporator temperature, as the fluid in the PHP was able to keep the saturated two-phase state until the evaporator temperature exceeded the critical temperature.
Evaluating the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on Banksy’s limited edition print market
Authors: Clark Stephen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe global COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted almost all aspects of people’s lives. Economic disruptions were felt across various sectors, including the art market. This study analyses the market for the renowned niche street artist, Banksy, specifically focusing on his limited-edition prints. By examining auction price data, the aim is to identify whether a pandemic-induced bubble inflated the prices of these prints. Employing a random effects model, variations in the bubble’s extent across different print images are estimated. The findings provide evidence of a link between high print prices and the pandemic, further suggesting the presence of a bubble in this market. This bubble peaked in the second half of 2020 but had largely receded by mid-2023, with prices returning to roughly expected pre-pandemic levels. As hypothesised, certain print images, notably ‘Love is in the Air’, experienced more pronounced inflation compared to others.
Three different types of AI hype in healthcare
Authors: Strange Michael 
Published: March 2024

AbstractHealthcare systems are the embodiment of big data – as evident in the logistics of resource management, estate maintenance, diagnoses, patient monitoring, research, etc. – such that human health is often heralded as one of the fields most likely to benefit from AI. Yet, the prevalence of hype – both positive and negative – risks undermining that potential by distracting healthcare policy makers, practitioners, and researchers from many of the non-AI factors that will determine its impact. Here we categorise AI hype in healthcare into three types that include both utopian and dystopian narratives and plot a series of more productive paths ahead by which to realise the potential of AI to improve human healthcare.
