Abstract
Objectives
The main objective of this paper was to examine the cost-utility of attachment-based compassion therapy (ABCT) compared to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and treatment-as-usual (TAU) on patients with depressive and/or anxious disorder, or adjustment disorder with depressive and/or anxious symptomatology in terms of effects on quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as well as healthcare costs from a public healthcare system perspective.

Method
A 6-month randomized controlled trial was conducted. Ninety Spanish patients with mental disorders (depressive, anxious, or adjustment disorders) received 8 weekly group sessions of TAU + ABCT, TAU + MBSR, or TAU alone. Data collection took place at pre- and 6-month follow-up. Cost-utility of the two treatment groups (ABCT vs MBSR vs TAU) was compared by examining treatment outcomes in terms of QALYs (obtained with the EQ-5D-3L) and healthcare costs (data about service use obtained with the Client Service Receipt Inventory).

Results
Both MBSR and ABCT were more efficient than TAU alone, although the results did not reach statistical significance. Compared to ABCT, MBSR produced an increase both in terms of costs (€53.69, 95% CI [− 571.27 to 513.14]) and effects (0.004 QALYs, 95% CI [− 0.031 to 0.049]); ICUR = €13,422.50/QALY). Both interventions significantly reduced the number of visits to general practice compared to TAU.

Conclusions
This study has contributed to the evidence base of mindfulness- and compassion-based programs and provided promising information about the cost-utility of MBSR for patients with emotional disorders. However, the small sample size and short follow-up period limit the generalizability of the findings.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is used to characterize the functional significance of coronary artery stenoses. FFR is assessed under hyperemic conditions by invasive measurements of trans-stenotic pressure thanks to the insertion of a pressure guidewire across the coronary stenosis during catheterization. In order to overcome the potential risk related to the invasive procedure and to reduce the associated high costs, three-dimensional blood flow simulations that incorporate clinical imaging and patient-specific characteristics have been proposed.

Purpose
Most CCTA-derived FFR models neglect the potential influence of the guidewire on computed flow and pressure. Here we aim to quantify the impact of taking into account the presence of the guidewire in model-based FFR prediction.

Methods
We adopt a CCTA-derived FFR model and perform simulations with and without the guidewire for 18 patients with suspected stable CAD.

Results
Presented results show that the presence of the guidewire leads to a tendency to predict a lower FFR value. The FFR reduction is prominent in cases of severe stenoses, while the influence of the guidewire is less pronounced in cases of moderate stenoses.

Conclusion
From a clinical decision-making point of view, including of the pressure guidewire is potentially relevant only for intermediate stenosis cases.

Abstract
Competent treatment techniques were explored to curb the environmental pollution of dye-laden wastewater. In the current study, eucalyptus biomass contemplated as agricultural waste is translated into eucalyptus graphitic activated carbon (EPGAC) using ZnCl2 at 600 °C in the N2 atmosphere. The present investigation illustrated awareness about the nature of EPGAC’s dye elimination by employing Direct Yellow 12 dye (DY12) as a model dye. EPGAC was characterized using multiple characterization tools such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titrations, pHzpc, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis techniques. Electron micrographs disclosed the availability of high pore density for the adsorption of DY12 dyes. BJH analysis reported the distribution of mesopores having a 3 nm diameter on the EPGAC surface. Further, the surface area available for adsorption per gram of the adsorbent is estimated as 178.35 m2 employing BET analysis. XRD and Raman’s data revealed the graphitic nature of EPGAC. Influences of adsorbent parameters such as EPGAC mass, initial dye concentration, contact time, solution pH, and temperature on the eviction of DY12 by EPGAC were examined to achieve a deeper insight into the adsorption mechanism. The optimum EPGAC adsorbent dose was found to be 0.15 g. The equilibrium was attained at 120 min for DY12 dye. Pseudo-second-order kinetics entirely relates to the perfect fit associated with the investigational results. The aptness of the equilibrium data relevant to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm eventually recommends a maximum unilayer adsorption capacity of 42.01 mg/g for EPGAC. Thermodynamic studies further reveal the spontaneous, endothermic, and chemisorption nature of adsorption. Adsorbent viability was established through stability and recyclability studies carried out up to 5 run cycles with 0.15 g of EPGAC. Adsorption mechanisms were explained considering hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and electrostatic interactions, ultimately confirming the adsorption tendency displayed by EPGAC for the eviction of DY12 dye present in industrial wastewater.
ISU and Superleague judgments: sports governance in the market-driven era
Authors: Agafonova Rusa 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSport is becoming more and more attractive for private entities that desire to launch and exploit their own competitions outside the calendar (and control) of international federations. Today, breakaway leagues appear in different disciplines with increasing frequency. This poses a problem for sports governing bodies (SGBs) as they see in the newcomers a threat to the sporting values, purely mercantile intentions, and freeriding. Acting as regulators – and gatekeepers – of their respective disciplines, SGBs tend to hinder the entrance of third-party organisers. And, by doing it, they often fall under competition law scrutiny. The judgments in the ISU and Superleague cases in December 2023 became the legal apex of the confrontation between SGBs and breakaway leagues. The Court opted for an efficiency-oriented, economic approach. But will SGBs sustain the challenge of the new, market-driven principles of sports governance?
The impact of the rulings of 21 December 2023 on the structure of EU sports law
Authors: Weatherill Stephen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe three rulings of 21 December 2023 make three changes to the way we understand the structure of EU sports law. I examine all three in this paper, but I do not think any of the changes are radical. Things have changed – but not much, and the fundamentals of EU sports law, nurtured by the Court in case law that commenced in 1974, are untouched by the Court’s latest three rulings. To be clear: my concern in this paper is only with the structure of EU sports law. For UEFA, and in particular for its power to act as a ‘gatekeeper’ through a system of prior approval for new competitions offered by third parties, things have changed a lot, but that is a separate issue.
Pushing a Square Pin into a Round Hole? Intellectual Property Challenges to a Sustainable and Circular Economy, and What to Do About It
Authors: Calboli Irene 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIt is old news that the world is facing growing environmental problems related to industrial manufacturing and waste management. Finally, consumers are demanding change due to the increasing threat of climate change, and industries are being forced to adapt. Repairing, reselling, upcycling, and recycling existing products are key activities to promote sustainability and a circular economy, but current intellectual property (IP) rules may stand in the way when these activities are not conducted by, or with the consent of IP owners. This opinion argues that IP cannot be used to prevent a greener and more sustainable economy. Instead, it needs to incentivize circular activities in the interest of everyone. New approaches, including bolder interpretation of existing limitations and exceptions, and adoption of new exceptions, are essential to rethink IP to support a sustainable future.

AbstractNitrogen (N) deposition is a significant aspect of global change and poses a threat to terrestrial biodiversity. The impact of plant-soil microbe relationships to N deposition has recently attracted considerable attention. Soil microorganisms have been proven to provide nutrients for specific plant growth, especially in nutrient-poor desert steppe ecosystems. However, the effects of N deposition on plant soil microbial community interactions in such ecosystems remain poorly understood. To investigate these effects, we conducted a 6-year N-addition field experiment in a Stipa breviflora Griseb. desert steppe in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northern China. Four N treatment levels (N0, N30, N50, and N100, corresponding to 0, 30, 50, and 100 kg N/(hm2•a), respectively) were applied to simulate atmospheric N deposition. The results showed that N deposition did not significantly affect the aboveground biomass of desert steppe plants. N deposition did not significantly reduce the alfa-diversity of plant and microbial communities in desert steppe, and low and mediate N additions (30 and 50 kg N/(hm2•a)) had a promoting effect on them. The variation pattern of plant Shannon index was consistent with that of the soil bacterial Chao1 index. N deposition significantly affected the beta-diversity of plants and soil bacteria, but did not significantly affect fungal communities. In conclusion, N deposition led to co-evolution between desert steppe plants and soil bacterial communities, while fungal communities exhibited strong stability and did not undergo significant changes. These findings help clarify atmospheric N deposition effects on the ecological health and function of the desert steppe.

Abstract
Purpose of Review
The incorporation of digital technologies and their use in youth’s everyday lives has been increasing rapidly over the past several decades with possible impacts on youth development and mental health. This narrative review aimed to consider how the use of digital technologies may be influencing brain development underlying adaptive and maladaptive screen-related behaviors.

Recent Findings
To explore and provide direction for further scientific inquiry, an international group of experts considered what is known, important gaps in knowledge, and how a research agenda might be pursued regarding relationships between screen media activity and neurodevelopment from infancy through childhood and adolescence. While an understanding of brain-behavior relationships involving screen media activity has been emerging, significant gaps exist that have important implications for the health of developing youth.

Summary
Specific considerations regarding brain-behavior relationships involving screen media activity exist for infancy, toddlerhood, and early childhood; middle childhood; and adolescence. Transdiagnostic frameworks may provide a foundation for guiding future research efforts. Translating knowledge gained into better interventions and policy to promote healthy development is important in a rapidly changing digital technology environment.
Exploring the Potential Role of the Genus Kudoa (Myxosporea: Kudoidae) as an Emerging Seafood-Borne Parasite in Humans
Authors: Shamsi Shokoofeh , Barton Diane P. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
This article reviews and summarises the recent findings on emerging seafood-borne parasites, Kudoa spp., that have received comparatively little attention in the literature.

Recent Findings
Currently, two species, namely, K. hexapunctata and K. septempunctata, have been identified as causing infections in humans. However, it is worth noting that the existing nomenclature and methods for identifying Kudoa spp. may undergo substantial changes as more effective identification techniques are developed. This implies the possibility of additional species capable of infecting humans. The symptoms induced by these parasites in humans, such as vomiting and diarrhoea, can easily be confused with similar symptoms caused by other pathogens like viruses or bacteria. Consequently, misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis is quite common. Moreover, new hosts and expanded distribution patterns are being discovered on a regular basis.

Summary
This review sheds light on the potential of Kudoa spp. to cause diseases in humans, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive seafood safety measures to ensure responsible seafood consumption. Further investigation into these lesser-known parasites is warranted to better understand their prevalence, distribution, and pathogenicity in seafood-related infections.

Published: March 2024

SommarioIl cancro alla mammella e quello alla tiroide sono di comune diagnosi nelle donne. Il fenomeno dei due tumori che si verificano in modo sincrono o asincrono è ben noto e riconosciuto in letteratura. Tale associazione non è sorprendente in quanto entrambe le malattie sono a predominanza femminile, con un picco di incidenza postmenopausale simile. I potenziali meccanismi sono complessi e vari. Ormoni, l’autoimmunità e la predisposizione genetica sono fattori significativi e condivisi che influenzano i due tumori. Sono stati anche esaminati nella letteratura le terapie eseguite per il primo cancro e altri fattori legati alla vita. Questa Rassegna mira a esporre la relazione tra cancro alla mammella e alla tiroide e suggerisce che i medici dovrebbero monitorare adeguatamente il secondo cancro ogni volta che si verifica il primo cancro.
STO-CVAE: state transition-oriented conditional variational autoencoder for data augmentation in disability classification

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe class imbalance problem occurs when there is an unequal distribution of classes in a dataset and is a significant issue in various artificial intelligence applications. This study focuses on the severe multiclass imbalance problem of human activity recognition in rehabilitation exercises for people with disabilities. To overcome this problem, we present a novel human action-centric augmentation method for human skeleton-based pose estimation. This study proposes the state transition-oriented conditional variational autoencoder (STO-CVAE) to capture action patterns in repeated exercises. The proposed approach generates action samples by capturing temporal information of human skeletons to improve the identification of minority disability classes. We conducted experimental studies with a real-world dataset gathered from rehabilitation exercises and confirmed the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method. Specifically, all investigated classifiers (i.e., random forest, support vector machine, extreme gradient boosting, light gradient boosting machine, and TabNet) trained with the proposed augmentation method outperformed the models trained without augmentation in terms of the F1-score and accuracy, with F1-score showing the most improvement. Overall, the prediction accuracy of most classes was improved; in particular, the prediction accuracy of the minority classes was greatly improved. Hence, the proposed STO-CVAE can be used to improve the accuracy of disability classification in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation and to provide suitable personal training and rehabilitation exercise programs.

Published: March 2024

AbstractArtificial intelligence has made substantial progress in many medical application scenarios. The quantity and complexity of pathology images are enormous, but conventional visual screening techniques are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subject to some degree of subjectivity. Complex pathological data can be converted into mineable image features using artificial intelligence image analysis technology, enabling medical professionals to quickly and quantitatively identify regions of interest and extract information about cellular tissue. In this study, we designed a medical information assistance system for segmenting pathology images and quantifying statistical results, including data enhancement, cell nucleus segmentation, model tumor, and quantitative analysis. In cell nucleus segmentation, to address the problem of uneven healthcare resources, we designed a high-precision teacher model (HRMED_T) and a lightweight student model (HRMED_S). The HRMED_T model is based on visual Transformer and high-resolution representation learning. It achieves accurate segmentation by parallel low-resolution convolution and high-scaled image iterative fusion, while also maintaining the high-resolution representation. The HRMED_S model is based on the Channel-wise Knowledge Distillation approach to simplify the structure, achieve faster convergence, and refine the segmentation results by using conditional random fields instead of fully connected structures. The experimental results show that our system has better performance than other methods. The Intersection over the Union (IoU) of HRMED_T model reaches 0.756. The IoU of HRMED_S model also reaches 0.710 and params is only 3.99 M.

Authors: Iravani Siavash , Varma Rajender S. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSoft actuators have garnered substantial attention in current years in view of their potential appliances in diverse domains like robotics, biomedical devices, and biomimetic systems. These actuators mimic the natural movements of living organisms, aiming to attain enhanced flexibility, adaptability, and versatility. On the other hand, angle-independent structural color has been achieved through innovative design strategies and engineering approaches. By carefully controlling the size, shape, and arrangement of nanostructures, researchers have been able to create materials exhibiting consistent colors regardless of the viewing angle. One promising class of materials that holds great potential for bioinspired soft actuators is MXenes in view of their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. The integration of MXenes for bioinspired soft actuators with angle-independent structural color offers exciting possibilities. Overcoming material compatibility issues, improving color reproducibility, scalability, durability, power supply efficiency, and cost-effectiveness will play vital roles in advancing these technologies. This perspective appraises the development of bioinspired MXene-centered soft actuators with angle-independent structural color in soft robotics.

Published: March 2024

AbstractDespite the promising potential of transition metal oxides (TMOs) as capacitive deionization (CDI) electrodes, the actual capacity of TMOs electrodes for sodium storage is significantly lower than the theoretical capacity, posing a major obstacle. Herein, we prepared the kinetically favorable ZnxNi1 − xO electrode in situ growth on carbon felt (ZnxNi1 − xO@CF) through constraining the rate of OH− generation in the hydrothermal method. ZnxNi1 − xO@CF exhibited a high-density hierarchical nanosheet structure with three-dimensional open pores, benefitting the ion transport/electron transfer. And tuning the moderate amount of redox-inert Zn-doping can enhance surface electroactive sites, actual activity of redox-active Ni species, and lower adsorption energy, promoting the adsorption kinetic and thermodynamic of the Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF. Benefitting from the kinetic-thermodynamic facilitation mechanism, Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF achieved ultrahigh desalination capacity (128.9 mgNaCl g−1), ultra-low energy consumption (0.164 kW h kgNaCl−1), high salt removal rate (1.21 mgNaCl g−1 min−1), and good cyclability. The thermodynamic facilitation and Na+ intercalation mechanism of Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF are identified by the density functional theory calculations and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, respectively. This research provides new insights into controlling electrochemically favorable morphology and demonstrates that Zn-doping, which is redox-inert, is essential for enhancing the electrochemical performance of CDI electrodes.
Do Peers Influence the Development of Individuals’ Social Skills? The Potential of Cooperative Learning and Social Learning in Elementary Schools
Authors: Hank Corinna , Huber Christian 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPromoting social skills in addition to teaching curricular content is challenging for elementary-school teachers. Teaching methods that implicitly foster social skills could support teachers and students alike. Peer influence and social learning, as a mediating peer-influence mechanism, could be beneficial. If peers can show their social skills in class, students with lower social skills could adopt their skillset. An intervention study investigating the peer influence effect of cooperative learning on the development of social skills was conducted with 558 students (Mage = 8.66; 49,3% female) of 26 classes. Over the course of four weeks Cooperative Learning was implemented daily in intervention classes to determine the effects of peer influence as well as additional effects of Cooperative Learning on the development of social skills. The results suggest that students with low social skills can benefit from Cooperative Learning if they are taught in highly socially skilled classes. The article discusses possibilities to enrich Cooperative Learning to benefit all students.
