“An urgent need for transition of care programs for adolescents and young adults with neurogastroenterology and motility disorders”
Authors: Wolfson Sharon , Patel Dhiren , Toto Erin , Khlevner Julie , Santucci Neha R. 
Published: April 2024

What is Known

Pediatric neurogastroenterology and motility (NGM) disorders are common, negatively impact quality of life and daily functioning and often continue into adulthood.
Structured transition of care programs for adolescents and young adults with pediatric neurogastroenterology and motility disorders are urgently needed.What is New

Successful establishment of transition of care programs should lead to decreased hospitalizations, improved follow up with NGM experts, and improved quality of life and daily functioning measures, such as work or school attendance.
We propose a NGM transition model which emphasizes pediatric and adult NGM expert collaborative efforts and patient transition‐readiness.
Xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass and their applications as nutraceuticals: a review on their production, purification, and characterization
Authors: Kumar Ravindra , Næss Geir , Sørensen Mette 
Published: April 2024

AbstractXylooligosaccharides (XOS) are considered a potent source of prebiotics for humans. The global prebiotic market is expanding in size, was valued at USD 6.05 billion in 2021, and is expected to grow at a 14.9% compound annual growth rate between 2022 and 2030, indicating a huge demand. These XOS are non‐digestible pentose sugar oligomers comprising mainly xylose. Xylose is naturally present in the lignocellulosic biomass (LCB), fruits and vegetables. Apart from the prebiotic effect, these XOS have been reported to reduce blood cholesterol, possess antioxidant effects, increase calcium absorption, reduce colon cancer risk, and benefit diabetic patients. The primary use of XOS is reported in the feed industry followed by health, medical use, food and drinks. LCB mainly contains glucan, xylan and lignin. After glucan, xylan is the second‐highest available sugar on the globe composed of xylose. Therefore, the xylan fraction of LCB has great significance in producing food, feed and energy. Glucan has been exploited for the commercial production of ethanol, xylitol, furfural, hydroxymethyl furfural and glucose. As of now, xylan has limited applications. Therefore, xylan can be exploited to convert to XOS. The production of XOS from LCB fraction not only helps to produce these at a very low price, but also helps in the reduction of greenhouse gases. Its use in food and drinks is increasing as it can be derived from the abundantly and cheaply available LCB. The article provides a review on the production, purification and characterization of XOS in view of their use as nutraceuticals. © 2024 The Authors.

AbstractThe study aimed to gain insight into knowledge management in the intellectual disabilities (ID) care sector during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We explored and described how knowledge producers, intermediaries, and knowledge users experienced knowledge management during this crisis situation, the responses to the specific knowledge needs in the ID‐care sector, and changes in roles and collaboration during this period. Twenty‐five individual in‐depth semi‐structured interviews were conducted with knowledge producers, intermediaries, and knowledge users in the Dutch ID‐care sector. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Three key themes were identified: (1) knowledge needs during the COVID‐19 pandemic, (2) experiences with knowledge management, and (3) roles and collaboration in knowledge management. There was an urgent need for specific ID‐related knowledge and how to translate available evidence for the general population into ID‐care settings. In knowledge management, the focus was on knowledge production and exchange, with validation and application receiving less attention. Within stakeholder groups, collaboration and knowledge exchange were intensified by existing or new knowledge infrastructures. Between stakeholder groups, knowledge producers and users created short lines to exchange needs and produce knowledge. This paper provides unique insights into knowledge management in the Dutch ID‐care sector during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Implications are discussed to improve future knowledge management processes. Support with knowledge validation and local knowledge infrastructures (complementary to centralized national knowledge infrastructures) help to assess the reliability and usefulness of knowledge and improve its use in practice during future pandemic‐related crisis situations.
Vibrotactile feedback in m‐commerce: Stimulating perceived control and perceived ownership to increase anticipated satisfaction
Authors: Li Jiayuan , Cowan Kirsten , Yazdanparast Atefeh , Ansell Jake 
Published: April 2024

AbstractConsumers increasingly purchase through m‐channels, including apps. Accordingly, marketers have enhanced immersive, sensorial aspects of m‐channels, such as including vibrations while making in‐app purchases. Given discrepant findings, it remains unclear whether adding such vibrotactile feedback affects consumer decision making. The present research addresses: (1) Whether adding vibrotactile feedback influences consumers' anticipated product satisfaction and purchase confidence, and (2) if so, how? Through an online pilot survey, two online experiments, and one lab experiment, this research finds that adding vibrotactile feedback to m‐channels increases consumers' anticipated product satisfaction, but not purchase confidence. Moreover, perceived ownership mediates this effect, because the vibrations offer a sense of control over the product during the purchase process. This research makes several contributions. First, it documents that control elicited via vibrations offers an alternative means to psychological ownership, as opposed to imagining touch. Second, we offer this haptic route as a means to achieve the stimulation motivation driving perceived ownership, different from prior visual routes. Third, it potentially reconciles literature conflicts regarding the effect of vibrotactile feedback on consumer decision making.

Published: April 2024

AbstractA fully differential lumped linear driver for Mach–Zehnder modulator has been presented and assessed in 130‐nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. Multitopology peaking techniques, especially T‐coil peaking method, have been employed to flatten the frequency response and increase the bandwidth. Degeneration resistors have been used to enhance circuit linearity. Simultaneously, improvements have been made to the output stage of the conventional single emitter follower push–pull) circuit to enhance the output eye diagram quality at higher transmission rates. The fabricated driver achieved a differential gain of 16.2 dB with a bandwidth of over 50 GHz, corresponding to a fixed output swing of over 3.2 Vppd within the automatic gain control loop. Time domain measurements, limited in speed by the measurement setup, reported a data rate up to 56 Gb/s none return to zero and 40‐GBaud 4‐levels pulse amplitude modulation with a bit error rate less than 10−12.
A heteropolarized single layer reflect‐transmit‐array antenna
Authors: Yajie Liang , Ying Y. U. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractA novel reflect‐transmit‐array antenna is proposed in this paper, in which a single‐layer heteropolarized element with a thickness of 0.1 at 11 GHz, consisting of only two layers of metal patches printed on a dielectric substrate and six metal vias, can integrate reflection and transmission modes in the same frequency band by reasonably distributing the positions of the reflection and transmission parts in the element. We designed, fabricated, and measured the reflect‐transmit‐array antenna with an aperture of 501.2 mm2. At 11 GHz, the maximum gain of reflection is 17.7 dB, and the peak gain of transmission is 20.4 dB, indicating that this scheme has good application prospects in bidirectional wireless communication.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAimTo investigate changes in the clinical characteristics of patients who abused benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRA) or over‐the‐counter (OTC) drugs before and after COVID‐19 based on the 2018 and 2022 data of the “Nationwide Psychiatric Hospital (NPH) Survey on Drug‐related Psychiatric Disorders.”MethodA total of 446 and 155 cases, and 435 and 273 cases, who mainly abused BZRAs or OTC drugs, respectively, were extracted from the database of the two NPH Surveys. Demographic variables, education, employment, criminal record, drug use during the previous year, psychiatric diagnosis, and types of abused drugs were compared between 2018 and 2022.ResultA comparison of BZRA abusers revealed a decreased number of users during the previous year and an increase in the comorbidity rate of other disorders (F3 and F4 in ICD‐10) in 2022. Etizolam, flunitrazepam, triazolam, and zolpidem were used most in both years, with an increase in zolpidem and a decrease in triazolam in 2022. A comparison of OTC drug abusers revealed a higher proportion of women and young patients in 2022. An increase in the comorbidity rate of F3 and F9 and a significant increase in the use of dextromethorphan products were observed in 2022, although codeine products were in the majority in both years.ConclusionBy comparing NPH Surveys before and after the COVID‐19 pandemic, both BZRA abusers and OTC drug abusers present complex pathologies, requiring tailor‐made treatment. The younger OTC drug abusers were particularly evident among women, and the abuse of dextromethorphan‐containing OTC drugs has increased alarmingly.

AbstractObjectiveDetermine current analytical methods and number of cell‐free (cf) DNA prenatal screening tests performed for common trisomies.MethodsThe College of American Pathologists 2022‐B Noninvasive Prenatal Testing exercise was distributed in December 2022 to 93 participants in 22 countries. Supplemental questions included the number of tests performed in a recent month and the proportion of samples originating outside the United States (US).ResultsEighty‐three participants from three continents returned results; 74 (89%) were suitable for the analyses. Nine manufacturer/platform combinations were identified, most commonly Illumina/Nextseq (55%). The most common methodology was whole genome sequencing (76%). Annualized cfDNA tests were 2.80 million, with Asian, European and North American participants representing 10.6%, 6.5% and 82.9% of tests, respectively. When restricted to US in‐country tests, the annualized rate was 2.18 million, with four of 20 participants testing 79.2%. Among 73 respondents, 63 (86%) were for‐profit, eight (11%) were non‐profit academic or government supported and the remaining two included hospital‐based and private non‐profit. Eighteen (25%) supported relevant academic training.ConclusionIn 2011, screening for common trisomies was based on serum/ultrasound markers with an estimated 2.96 million US pregnancies screened in 131 laboratories. In 2022, cfDNA‐based screening was offered by 20 laboratories testing 2.18 million US pregnancies.
A lost land of opportunity? The geography of intergenerational educational mobility in China
Authors: Hong Qilyu , Gruijters Rob J. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDespite the significant political, economic and geographical diversity in China, there is limited research on spatial differences in intergenerational mobility in China. This research aims to fill this gap by exploring the spatial and temporal dimensions of intergenerational educational mobility in China. The data used for the analysis is the 2010–2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), a nationally representative longitudinal general social survey. The analysis incorporates both relative and absolute mobility measures to provide a comprehensive description of intergenerational educational mobility. The results reveal substantial regional differences in intergenerational educational mobility across various economic zones in China, with a rising geographic inequality over time. The southwest and northeast regions stand out as the areas where the educational prospects of the young generation have become not only bleaker but dependent more on their parents. Additionally, this study presents the first education Great Gatsby Curve for China, highlighting the strong relationship between intergenerational mobility and education inequality at the regional level, particularly after China's market reform. The findings highlight the need for regionally targeted policies and levelling up agendas to promote educational opportunities in low‐mobility regions.
Comparison of selected surface level ERA5 variables against in‐situ observations in the continental Arctic
Authors: Pernov Jakob Boyd , Gros‐Daillon Jules , Schmale Julia 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn this study, data from 17 ground‐based, continental Arctic observatories are used to evaluate the performance of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) reanalysis model. Three aspects are evaluated: (i) the overall reproducibility of variables at all stations for all seasons at one‐hour time resolution; (ii) the seasonal performance; and (iii) performance between different temporal resolutions (one hour to one month). Performance is evaluated based on the slope, R2 value, and root‐mean‐squared error (RMSE). We focus on surface meteorological variables including 2‐m air temperature (temperature), relative humidity (RH), surface pressure, wind speed, zonal and meridional wind speed components, and short‐wave downward (SWD) radiation flux. The overall comparison revealed the best results for surface pressure (0.98 ± 0.02, R2mean ± standard deviation [σR2]), followed by temperature (0.94 ± 0.02), and SWD radiation flux (0.87 ± 0.03) while wind speed (0.49 ± 0.12), RH (0.42 ± 0.20), zonal (0.163 ± 0.15) and meridional wind speed (0.129 ± 0.17) displayed poor results. We also found that certain variables (surface pressure, wind speed, meridional, and zonal wind speed) showed no seasonal dependency while others (temperature, RH, and SWD radiation flux) performed better during certain seasons. Improved results were observed when decreasing the temporal resolution from one hour to one month for temperature, meridional and zonal wind speed, and SWD radiation flux. However, certain variables (RH and surface pressure) showed comparatively worse results for monthly resolution. Overall, ERA5 performs well in the Arctic, but caution needs to be taken with wind speed and RH, which has implications for the use of ERA5 in global climate models. Our results are useful to the scientific community as it assesses the confidence to be placed in each of the surface variables produced by ERA5.

AbstractThe ability of numerical weather prediction models to accurately predict extreme weather events, such as thunderstorms marked by heavy rainfall and lightning activities, has consistently been of great importance for human life. The objective of this study is to assess the long‐term reliability of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) rainfall in comparison to the Indian gauge‐adjusted Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP_ISRO) rainfall at the time of lightning flashes measured by the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite over the Indian region during the years 2001–2014. This analysis will provide valuable insights into the intricate relationship between lightning flashes and precipitation under various terrain conditions (low, mid, or high), across oceanic regions (Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea), and during different monsoon phases (normal, active, or deficit). According to a prolonged examination of LIS data, April–June accounts for ~50% of the total flashes, with the largest number of flashes occurring over the Himalayan and the northeastern part of India. According to hourly GSMaP_ISRO rainfall, the most substantial lightning‐associated rainfall happens an hour prior to lightning flash (T − 1) and within three hours after (T + 3), indicating a robust correlation between heavy rainfall and lightning activity during this time frame. The rainfall in the ERA5 reanalysis misses the intensity as well as duration of the peak rainfall at the time of lightning flashes. Furthermore, the ERA5 reanalysis rainfall depicts under (over)‐estimation of rainfall in plain (orographic) regions. The underestimation of ERA5 rainfall is very pronounced over the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal regions, mainly between flash time (T) to two hours after the flash time (T + 2). The results indicate that there is a requirement for additional enhancements in the ERA5 reanalysis rainfall for lightning occurrences.

Published: April 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the appropriateness, timeliness and perinatal outcomes of obstetric referrals compared to nonreferrals managed by caesarean section (CS) at a tertiary hospital.MethodsResearch assistants observed and recorded every delivery prospectively. Neonates were followed to discharge or up to 7 days, and outcomes were recorded. Proportions were used to describe baseline characteristics of the groups, and logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with CS in the referral group.ResultsA total of 10 353 deliveries occurred during the study period: 7.4% (768) were referrals and 92.6% (9585) were nonreferrals. The proportion of CS among referrals was 41.5% (319), nonreferrals 22.5% (2152) and overall 23.8% (2471). Compared to nonreferrals, referred women arrived at the second stage of labour with complications, ending up with emergency CS (p < 0.001). Factors associated with CS with odds ratio (OR) in the referral group were previous CS (11.06), abnormal foetal heart rate (4.96), breech presentation (4.61) and thick meconium (3.61). The referral group had higher proportions of stillbirths and neonatal admissions compared to nonreferrals (p < 0.001).ConclusionReferred women arrived late with complications ending with CSs and adverse perinatal outcomes. Earlier identification of complications and timely referral from lower‐level facilities may have the potential to prevent adverse outcomes.
Accumulation of soil phosphorus within closed depressions of a drained agricultural watershed

Published: April 2024

AbstractClosed depressions are common landscape features across glaciated landscapes. Erosion and runoff from depression hillslopes may result in phosphorus (P) accumulation near the bottom of the depression, with this “legacy P” potentially at risk of loss to surface waters when drained via tile drainage. We assessed spatial patterns of soil P within a tile‐drained watershed in northeastern Indiana as a function of landscape position and agricultural management practices. Paired soil samples (depression bottom vs. hillslope contributing area) were collected from agricultural (n = 14) depressions at four depths (0–60 cm). Water‐extractable phosphorus (WEP), Mehlich‐3 extracted phosphorus (M3‐P), total phosphorus (TP), Hedley P fractions, and other physical and chemical characteristics were determined. To assess the risk of P loss, P desorption from surface soils (0–5 cm) was quantified using flow‐through experiments. Results showed that WEP, M3‐P, and TP were 2–10 times greater in the depression bottom compared to hillslopes across all depths. Long‐term management practices such as P application history and tillage influenced the magnitude of soil P concentration, degree of P saturation, and vertical stratification of soil P. Flow‐through experiments highlighted that the risk of P loss was highly dependent on M3‐P concentration for both hillslope and depression soils. Findings therefore indicate that closed depressions may act as hotspots for P cycling and loss in tile‐drained watersheds. Including low‐lying depressional areas as part of a routine soil sampling strategy combined with variable rate P application could lessen P accumulation in depressions and reduce P loading to surface waters.
Evaluating well‐being after compulsory resettlement: Livelihoods, standards of living, and well‐being in Manantali, Mali
Authors: Koenig Dolores 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDespite efforts to improve outcomes, resettlement projects that aim to improve livelihoods and living standards of the displaced often do not achieve their goals. Could greater attention to the well‐being of the affected improve resettlement outcomes? This article considers standards of living and well‐being among one resettled group, the Bahingkolu of Manantali, Mali, relocated in the mid‐1980s by construction of the Manantali Dam. Anthropological approaches to well‐being that include a greater understanding of people's own conceptions of well‐being and consider well‐being in relationship to their social and physical worlds help elucidate why the Bahinkolu are unsatisfied with their well‐being despite higher standards of living. Because they can no longer grow enough for food self‐sufficiency, they must encourage family members to work elsewhere, thereby risking the sustainability of the family as a single economic unit. In this context, household heads feel constant anxiety about their ability to maintain a cohesive household. The Bahingkolu publicly maintain that they are “victims of the resettlement” as a strategy to gain more resources for the community. To improve the generally negative consequences of involuntary resettlement, planning should expend more effort to appreciate the conceptions of well‐being among the affected.
