Transformative privacy calculus: Conceptualizing the personalization‐privacy paradox on social media
Authors: Cloarec Julien , Meyer‐Waarden Lars , Munzel Andreas 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe rapid evolution of digital marketing underscores a critical tension between personalization and privacy, exacerbated by advances in data technologies and artificial intelligence. This study delves into the personalization‐privacy paradox, emphasizing the dichotomy of consumer behavior—desiring customized interactions while guarding personal data. We explore how happiness with the internet (HWI) influences users' willingness to disclose personal information on social media, employing social exchange theory as our conceptual framework. Our research develops and tests a conceptual model that investigates the psychological mechanisms driving information‐sharing behaviors on social media, including the moderating roles of trust beliefs and information collection concerns. By examining the mediating effect of posting frequency on the relationship between HWI and information disclosure for personalization, our findings contribute to understanding the complex interplay between happiness, trust and privacy concerns, coined as transformative privacy calculus. Our study enriches social exchange and privacy calculus theories, providing valuable implications for marketers aiming to navigate the balance between personalization and privacy, suggesting strategies to enhance user engagement without compromising privacy standards.

AbstractBackgroundPatient‐focused outcomes present a central need for trial‐readiness across all ataxias. The Activities of Daily Living part of the Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale (FARS‐ADL) captures functional impairment and longitudinal change but is only validated in Friedreich Ataxia.ObjectiveValidation of FARS‐ADL regarding disease severity and patient‐meaningful impairment, and its sensitivity to change across genetic ataxias.MethodsReal‐world registry data of FARS‐ADL in 298 ataxia patients across genotypes were analyzed, including (1) cross‐correlation with FARS‐stage, Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), Patient‐Reported Outcome Measure (PROM)‐ataxia, and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions visual analogue scale (EQ5D‐VAS); (2) sensitivity to change within a trial‐relevant 1‐year median follow‐up, anchored in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI‐C); and (3) general linear modeling of factors age, sex, and depression (nine‐item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ‐9]).ResultsFARS‐ADL correlated with overall disability (rhoFARS‐stage = 0.79), clinical disease severity (rhoSARA = 0.80), and patient‐reported impairment (rhoPROM‐ataxia = 0.69, rhoEQ5D‐VAS = –0.37), indicating comprehensive construct validity. Also at item level, and validated within genotype (SCA3, RFC1), FARS‐ADL correlated with the corresponding SARA effector domains; and all items correlated to EQ5D‐VAS quality of life. FARS‐ADL was sensitive to change at a 1‐year interval, progressing only in patients with worsening PGI‐C. Minimal important change was 1.1. points based on intraindividual variability in patients with stable PGI‐C. Depression was captured using FARS‐ADL (+0.3 points/PHQ‐9 count) and EQ5D‐VAS, but not FARS‐stage or SARA.ConclusionFARS‐ADL reflects both disease severity and patient‐meaningful impairment across genetic ataxias, with sensitivity to change in trial‐relevant timescales in patients perceiving change. It thus presents a promising patient‐focused outcome for upcoming ataxia trials. © 2024 The Authors.

AbstractIntroductionNocturia is a complex and multifactorial condition, associated with several genitourinary abnormalities as well as a host of conditions beyond the urinary tract, and thus often poses a significant diagnostic challenge in real‐world practice. Sleep Disorders, Comorbidities, Actions, Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction, and Medications, the so‐called “Sleep C.A.L.M.” factors, are five common causes of nocturia requiring judicious evaluation according to current consensus guidelines. This study aims to assess the prevalence of the Sleep C.A.L.M. factors in a nocturia clinical population.MethodsRetrospective analysis of frequency‐volume charts from men with ≥2 nocturnal voids as well as concurrent demographic, clinical, and medical history data to identify patients with each of the Sleep C.A.L.M. factors. Comorbidities and medications were classified as a single group.ResultsA total of 213 subjects met the criteria for inclusion (median age 68.0 [63.5‐75.5] years). The prevalence of 1) sleep disorders, 2) comorbidities and/or medication use, 3) actions (i.e., modifiable behaviors/lifestyle factors), and 4) lower urinary tract dysfunction was 31%, 31%, 19%, and 41%, respectively. Among included participants, 73% were found to have at least 1 Sleep C.A.L.M. factor, and 33% had multiple Sleep C.A.L.M. factors. Results were similar upon stratification by age and nocturnal polyuria status.ConclusionsThe Sleep C.A.L.M. factors are highly common among nocturia patients in the clinical urology setting. Although many of these factors are strongly associated with advanced age in community‐based nocturia study samples, they appear common even among younger men in a nocturia patient population; the differential effect of age and individual Sleep C.A.L.M. factors on nocturia pathophysiology requires further investigation.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis research investigates the influence of kevlar and glass fiber reinforcements on the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy/vinyl ester (hybrid resin) composite. The hybrid resin was synthesized by achieving an interpenetrating network between epoxy and vinyl ester. The composites were characterized using tensile, flexural, impact, and thermo‐gravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning electron microscopy was employed to analyze surface morphology whereas Fourier‐Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR) was used to investigate the possible interaction between the constituents of the composites. The findings have shown a notable improvement in the mechanical properties after the hybridization of the resin. For reference, the tensile strength of glass/hybrid resin and kevlar/hybrid resin composites were observed to increase by 8.33% and 23.65%, as compared to glass/epoxy and kevlar epoxy composites respectively, whereas, the bending strength of these composites was improved by 8.36% and 30.61%, respectively. TGA also showed an enhanced thermal stability of the hybrid resin‐based composites. Such improvements are noticed due to multi‐resin incorporation (the oxirane group of epoxy reacts with the hydroxyl group of vinyl ester), confirmed by the FTIR, TGA, and morphological analysis. This study signifies that the proposed hybrid composites are better in terms of strength and modulus relative to conventional metallic materials.Highlights
The paper presents the development of novel hybrid resin, reinforced with synthetic fibers.
Hybrid resin is imparted positively and is highly favorable in improving the mechanical properties of composites.
The tensile strength of novel composites is increased by 8.33% and 23.65% relative to their base specimens, and a similar trend is observed in flexural and impact analysis.
Fractured analysis showed that composite laminates deteriorated more intensely due to cohesive matrix fracture; adhesion failure was not observed at all, as evidenced by the emergence of micro‐cracks in resin.
Developed novel composites exhibited maximum thermal stability; residual char in glass/epoxy/vinyl‐ester composite attained 17.81% higher, whereas kevlar/epoxy/vinyl‐ester achieved 3.56% relative to glass/epoxy and kevlar/epoxy base samples.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundMedial meniscal extrusion (MME) plays an important role in the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Exploring the factors associated with MME in non‐osteoarthritic knees may assist in the prevention of osteoarthritis.ObjectiveTo identify the factors associated with pathologic MME in non‐osteoarthritic knees with medial meniscus tears (MMTs).DesignA cross‐sectional study.ParticipantsOne hundred fifty patients with non‐osteoarthritic knees who underwent arthroscopic surgery for MMT. Patients were divided into a pathologic MME group (n = 54) and a control group (n = 96) based on whether a pathologic MME was present on magnetic resonance (MR) images.SettingTertiary medical institution.InterventionsNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasuresThe MME distance was measured on a coronal MR image obtained at the midpoint of the medial femoral condyle. An MME distance ≥3 mm was considered to indicate pathologic MME. Demographic and clinical data were collected as variables. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with pathologic MME.ResultsAfter multivariable adjustment, body mass index (BMI) and the type of MMT were associated significantly with pathologic MME in the multivariable logistic regression model. Each unit higher in BMI was associated with a 13% higher risk of pathologic MME (odds ratio [OR] 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.28, p = .04). The odds of pathologic MME were approximately four times and three times higher for radial tears (OR 4.34, 95% CI 1.25–15.03, p = .02) and complex tears (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.17–8.05, p = .02) than for horizontal and longitudinal tears.ConclusionsBMI and the type of MMT were independent factors associated with pathologic MME in non‐osteoarthritic knees with MMT. A higher BMI, radial tears, and complex tears were predisposed to pathologic MME.
Simulation‐based sample size calculations of marginal proportional means models for recurrent events with competing risks
Authors: Furberg Julie Funch , Andersen Per Kragh , Scheike Thomas , Ravn Henrik 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn randomised controlled trials, the outcome of interest could be recurrent events, such as hospitalisations for heart failure. If mortality rates are non‐negligible, both recurrent events and competing terminal events need to be addressed when formulating the estimand and statistical analysis is no longer trivial. In order to design future trials with primary recurrent event endpoints with competing risks, it is necessary to be able to perform power calculations to determine sample sizes. This paper introduces a simulation‐based approach for power estimation based on a proportional means model for recurrent events and a proportional hazards model for terminal events. The simulation procedure is presented along with a discussion of what the user needs to specify to use the approach. The method is flexible and based on marginal quantities which are easy to specify. However, the method introduces a lack of a certain type of dependence. This is explored in a sensitivity analysis which suggests that the power is robust in spite of that. Data from a randomised controlled trial, LEADER, is used as the basis for generating data for a future trial. Finally, potential power gains of recurrent event methods as opposed to first event methods are discussed.
Combined longitudinal and lateral dynamics regulation of autonomous vehicles via induced ℒ2$$ {\mathcal{L}}_2 $$‐gain linear parameter varying control strategies based on parameter‐dependent Lyapunov functions
Authors: Gagliardi Gianfranco , D'Angelo Vincenzo , Casavola Alessandro 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article considers a path tracking control problem for autonomous vehicles constrained to maintain a safe distance from the next vehicle in the lane. The control design problem is solved by considering a mathematical model of the vehicle that jointly describes the lateral and longitudinal dynamics. Specifically, the optimal controller is designed aimed at minimizing the orientation and position tracking errors with respect to a given reference path. Moreover, the controller is able to ensure that the vehicle can both follow a speed profile and automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a proper distance from the next vehicle. The lateral dynamic is regulated by a 2‐DOF feedforward/feedback controller, where the feedforward law is implemented by exploiting an inverse kinematic model of the vehicle. On the other side, the feedback action, along with the action of the controller in charge to regulate the longitudinal dynamics, is the optimal gain‐scheduling state‐feedback controller. In particular, a parameter‐dependent quadratic Lyapunov function approach is used to reduce the conservativeness of the solution and a suitable convex LMI optimization problem is formulated for the synthesis. The vehicle is described by a seven‐degrees‐of‐freedom (7DOF) full‐car model, with the tire‐generated forces described by the classical Pacejka's Magic Formula. In order to assess the performance of the proposed control strategy, simulations have been undertaken in Matlab/Simulink by considering an autonomous vehicle driving into an urban scenario.
Robust interval predictive tracking control for constrained and perturbed unicycle mobile robots
Authors: Ríos Héctor , Mera Manuel , Raïssi Tarek , Efimov Denis 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we propose the design of a robust control strategy for the trajectory tracking problem in perturbed unicycle mobile robots. The proposed strategy comprises the design of a robust control law, which is based on an Integral Sliding‐Mode Control (ISMC) approach together with an interval predictor‐based state‐feedback controller through a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme. The robust controller deals with some perturbations in the kinematic model, which represent slipping effects, and with state and input constraints that are related to restrictions on the workspace and saturated actuators, respectively. The proposed approach guarantees the exponential convergence to zero of the tracking error. The performance of the proposed approach is validated through some simulations tracking a lemniscate and a circumference curve.

Authors: Porter Emma , O’Connor Cathal , Murphy Michelle 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Targeted biologic therapies have revolutionised the treatment of severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Objectives
To assess effects of dupilumab on patient re-engagement, quality of life (QOL), and burden of treatment (BOT) in severe AD.

Methods
Adults on dupilumab for AD completed questionnaires on QOL, BOT, and provided qualitative reflections, with a subset interviewed to explore experience of leaving and re-engaging with dermatology. Prior treatments, adverse events, and clinical severity scoring were evaluated. Statements and interviews were qualitatively reviewed.

Results
Of 41 patients; median age was 34 years, 68% were male; and 93% (n = 38) had trialled ≥1 immunomodulatory therapies before dupilumab. Median dermatology life quality index was 21 (range 9–30, SD ± 5.1) pre-dupilumab, and 2 (range 0–11, SD ± 3.4) post-dupilumab. Median eczema area and severity index was 31.4 (range 10–46.4, SD ± 11.8) pre-dupilumab, and 6.4 (range 0.4–13.2, SD ± 3.6) on dupilumab. Burden of treatment scores on dupilumab were low (median 0–3/10) across all domains. Themes identified pre-dupilumab included sleep disturbance, low self-esteem, social isolation, disempowerment, frustration with ineffective treatments, and high financial costs. Benefits included confidence reacquisition, enhanced sleep, liberation from time-consuming ‘messy’ topical regimes, improved relationships, and reclaimed autonomy. Side effects included red/itchy eyes (37%, n = 13) and facial dermatitis (20%, n = 7).
Twelve patients had deeper interviews. Regarding disengagement with dermatology, themes included ineffectiveness and toxicity of older treatments, attendance futility, dermatologist fatigue, and ‘fizzling out’. Regarding re-engagement with dermatology, themes included social media influence, novelty, exasperation with QOL, and life-changing improvements seen with dupilumab.

Conclusions
The emergence of novel effective treatments for AD has significant implications for dermatology workforce and financial planning.
Unlocking the Potential of Iron Sulfides for Sodium‐Ion Batteries by Ultrafine Pulverization
Authors: Wu Hui , Xia Guanglin , Yu Xuebin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIron sulfides have attracted tremendous research interest for the anode of sodium‐ion batteries due to their high capacity and abundant resource. However, the intrinsic pulverization and aggregation of iron sulfide electrodes induced by the conversion reaction during cycling are considered destructive and undesirable, which often impedes their capacity, rate capability, and long‐term cycling stability. Herein, an interesting pulverization phenomenon of ultrathin carbon‐coated Fe1‐xS nanoplates (Fe1‐xS@C) is observed during the first discharge process of sodium‐ion batteries, which leads to the formation of Fe1‐xS nanoparticles with quantum size (≈5 nm) tightly embedded in the carbon matrix. Surprisingly, no discernible aggregation phenomenon can be detected in subsequent cycles. In/ex situ experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrate that ultrafine pulverization can confer several advantages, including sustaining reversible conversion reactions, reducing the adsorption energies, and diffusion energy barriers of sodium atoms, and preventing the aggregation of Fe1‐xS particles by strengthening the adsorption between pulverized Fe1‐xS nanoparticles and carbon. As a result, benefiting from the unique ultrafine pulverization, the Fe1‐xS@C anode simultaneously exhibits high reversible capacity (610 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1), superior rate capability (427.9 mAh g−1 at 20 A g−1), and ultralong cycling stability (377.9 mAh g−1 after 2500 cycles at 20 A g−1).

Published: March 2024

AbstractSingle crystals of (001)‐oriented 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)−0.3PbTiO3 (PMN‐30PT) with a composition near the morphotropic phase boundary have attracted considerable attention due to their superior dielectric and electromechanical performance. Recently, a new alternating current (electric field) poling approach used for the enhancement of dielectric and piezoelectric properties. However, the microscopic domain variants that govern the performance, especially under high‐frequency alternating current (AC) voltages, remain largely unexplored. In this work, the domain microstructure under AC poling reveals the presence of four monoclinic (MA) domain variants using a suite of scanning probe microscopy methods, and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) reciprocal space mapping is tuned. It is reported on the emergence of hierarchical fine domains – needle‐shaped, and 109° domain walls under applied high‐frequency AC poling. Time‐resolved Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) reveals the charge dynamics and relaxation behavior of these needle domains and walls. The findings provide new insight and guidance to the domain engineering by high‐frequency AC poling for the development of advanced transducer technology.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study delves into the potential therapeutic benefits of Fufang Sanling Granules for kidney cancer, focusing on their active components and the underlying mechanisms of their interaction with cancer‐related targets. By constructing a drug‐active component‐target network based on eight herbs, key active compounds such as kaempferol, quercetin, and linolenic acid were identified, suggesting their pivotal roles in modulating immune responses and cellular signaling pathways relevant to cancer progression. The research further identified 51 central drug‐disease genes through comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, implicating their involvement in crucial biological processes and pathways. A novel risk score model, encompassing six genes with significant prognostic value for renal cancer, was established and validated, showcasing its effectiveness in predicting patient outcomes through mutation analysis and survival studies. The model's predictive power was further confirmed by its ability to stratify patients into distinct risk groups with significant survival differences, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool. Additionally, the study explored the relationship between gene expression within the identified black module and the risk score, uncovering significant associations with the extracellular matrix and immune infiltration patterns. This reveals the complex interplay between the tumor microenvironment and cancer progression. The integration of the risk score with clinical parameters through a nomogram significantly improved the model's predictive accuracy, offering a more comprehensive tool for predicting kidney cancer prognosis. In summary, by combining detailed molecular analyses with clinical insights, this study presents a robust framework for understanding the therapeutic potential of Fufang Sanling Granules in kidney cancer. It not only sheds light on the active components and their interactions with cancer‐related genes but also introduces a reliable risk score model, paving the way for personalized treatment strategies and improved patient management in the future.
