Published: October 2023

AbstractCryptocurrencies have ballooned into a billion‐dollar business. To inform regulations aimed at protecting consumers vulnerable to suboptimal financial decisions, we investigate crypto investment intentions as a function of consumer gender, financial overconfidence (greater subjective relative to objective financial knowledge), and the Big Five personality traits. Study 1 (N = 126) found that people believe each Big Five personality trait as well as consumer gender and financial overconfidence to predict consumers' crypto investment intentions. Study 2 (N = 1741) revealed that less than 1 in 10 consumers from a nationally representative sample (Norway) are willing to invest in crypto. However, the proportion of male (vs. female) consumers considering such investments is more than twice as large, with less (vs. more) agreeable and less (vs. more) conscientious, but more (vs. less) open and more (vs. less) financially overconfident consumers also being increasingly inclined to consider crypto investments. Financial overconfidence, agreeableness, and conscientiousness mediate the link between consumer gender and crypto investment intentions. These results hold after accounting for a theoretically relevant confounding factor (financial self‐efficacy). Together, this research offers novel implications for marketing theory and practice that help understand the observed gender differences in consumers' crypto investments.

AbstractPolyimide (PI) film with hydrophilic greatly limits their application in the field of microelectronic device packaging. A novel hydrophobic PI film with sag structure and improved mechanical properties is prepared relying on the reaction between anhydride‐terminated isocyanate‐based polyimide (PIY) containing a seven‐membered ring structure and the amino‐terminated polyamide acid (PAA) via multi‐hybrid strategy, this work named it as hybrid PI film and marked it as PI‐PIY‐X. PI‐PIY‐30 showed excellent hydrophobic properties, and the water contact angle could reach to 102°, which is 20% and 55% higher than simply PI film and PIY film, respectively. The water absorption is only 1.02%, with a decrease of 49% and 53% compared with PI and PIY. Due to that the degradation of seven‐membered ring and generation of carbon dioxide led to the formation of sag structure, the size of sag structures is ≈16.84 and 534.55 nm for in‐plane and out‐plane direction, which are observed on surface of PI‐PIY‐30. Meanwhile, PI‐PIY‐30 possessed improved mechanical properties, and the tensile strength is 109.08 MPa, with 5% and more than 56% higher than that of pure PI and PIY film, showing greatly application prospects in the field of integrated circuit.

AbstractBackgroundOnline adaptive radiotherapy (ART) involves the development of adaptable treatment plans that consider patient anatomical data obtained right prior to treatment administration, facilitated by cone‐beam computed tomography guided adaptive radiotherapy (CTgART) and magnetic resonance image‐guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART). To ensure accuracy of these adaptive plans, it is crucial to conduct calculation‐based checks and independent verification of volumetric dose distribution, as measurement‐based checks are not practical within online workflows. However, the absence of comprehensive, efficient, and highly integrated commercial software for secondary dose verification can impede the time‐sensitive nature of online ART procedures.PurposeThe main aim of this study is to introduce an efficient online quality assurance (QA) platform for online ART, and subsequently evaluate it on Ethos and Unity treatment delivery systems in our clinic.MethodsTo enhance efficiency and ensure compliance with safety standards in online ART, ART2Dose, a secondary dose verification software, has been developed and integrated into our online QA workflow. This implementation spans all online ART treatments at our institution. The ART2Dose infrastructure comprises four key components: an SQLite database, a dose calculation server, a report generator, and a web portal. Through this infrastructure, file transfer, dose calculation, report generation, and report approval/archival are seamlessly managed, minimizing the need for user input when exporting RT DICOM files and approving the generated QA report. ART2Dose was compared with Mobius3D in pre‐clinical evaluations on secondary dose verification for 40 adaptive plans. Additionally, a retrospective investigation was conducted utilizing 1302 CTgART fractions from ten treatment sites and 1278 MRgART fractions from seven treatment sites to evaluate the practical accuracy and efficiency of ART2Dose in routine clinical use.ResultsWith dedicated infrastructure and an integrated workflow, ART2Dose achieved gamma passing rates that were comparable to or higher than those of Mobius3D. Additionally, it significantly reduced the time required to complete pre‐treatment checks by 3–4 min for each plan. In the retrospective analysis of clinical CTgART and MRgART fractions, ART2Dose demonstrated average gamma passing rates of 99.61 ± 0.83% and 97.75 ± 2.54%, respectively, using the 3%/2 mm criteria for region greater than 10% of prescription dose. The average calculation times for CTgART and MRgART were approximately 1 and 2 min, respectively.ConclusionOverall, the streamlined implementation of ART2Dose notably enhances the online ART workflow, offering reliable and efficient online QA while reducing time pressure in the clinic and minimizing labor‐intensive work.

Abstract

Objective
Silver Chub Macrhybopsis storeriana, a predominately riverine species throughout its native range, exists within Lake Erie as the only known lake population. Its population declined in the 1950s and never fully recovered. Canada has listed Silver Chub in the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence River as endangered and has initiated a recovery plan that recognized the identification of spawning areas as a critical component to inform Silver Chub's recovery potential.

Methods
We investigated potential spawning locations of Silver Chub using capture records, otolith microchemistry, and daily age analysis. Lapillus otolith Sr:Ca ratios from 27 age-0 Silver Chub were used to identify potential spawning areas. Daily ages estimated from lapilli were used to calculate hatch dates, which then were compared with capture data of adults and river flows to further inform potential spawning areas.

Result
The Detroit River (and its nearshore area) was all but ruled out as a potential spawning location. The Maumee, Portage, and Sandusky rivers or their nearshore areas were all possible spawning locations. Projected hatch dates spanned the end of May through the end of June and occurred across a wide range of flows, although some peaks in hatch dates corresponded to flow peaks, indicating recruitment is potentially enhanced by high flows.

Conclusion
Silver Chub spawning period and hypothesized spawning rivers or lacustuaries overlap those of invasive Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, creating a need to jointly consider Grass Carp control efforts with conservation of Silver Chub when assessing management alternatives. Further research on spawning guild and the use of rivers themselves or nearshore areas influenced by rivers as spawning areas are required to maximize potential for conservation and recovery of Silver Chub.

AbstractEnhanced and rapid surveillance for diseases is critical to public health and meeting United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal for Good Health and Well‐being by allowing for targeted and accelerated prevention and control response strategies. Human malaria, caused by Plasmodium spp. and transmitted by mosquitoes is no exception. Advances in sustainable materials provide an opportunity to improve fast, sustainable, and equitable testing assays. Here, naturally abundant polymers and biomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and chitosan, were used to increase antibody density deposition on the assay detection line when compared to traditional free antibody deposition, and thus the sensitivity, of easily assembled rapid tests designed to detect Plasmodium vivax infective (sporozoite) parasites in mosquitoes, a critical indicator of malaria transmission. The immobilization of antibodies onto chitosan‐coated CNCs allowed for antigen detection with a lower number of antibodies used in each test; likewise, the immobilization allowed to directly place the CNC‐Ab without the traditionally needed blockers layer on the paper like bovine serum albumin (BSA). This bio‐based prototype of a paper‐based dipstick assay shows a promising pathway for the development of rapid disease surveillance tools using sustainable and globally available materials.

AbstractAimThe aim of this article is to describe and compare the nurse educator competences in four European countries using three different evaluators: nurse educators (n = 329), heads of a nursing subject (n = 60) and student nurses (n = 1058).DesignThe study was conducted as a comparative cross‐sectional survey in Finland, Malta, Slovakia and Spain between May 2021 and February 2022.MethodsThe data were collected with an online survey. The instrument used was a 20‐item Tool for Evaluation of Requirements of Nurse Teachers, utilizing a 5‐point Likert‐type scale. The data were analysed statistically and reported according to STROBE guidelines.ResultsNurse educators' competence evaluated positively in all the groups of evaluators, with a mean of >3.5. The self‐evaluation of nurse educators' competence was higher than the other evaluators' evaluations. Having a degree in nursing, having completed some pedagogical studies and longer work experience as a nurse educator had a positive association with higher self‐evaluated competence among nurse educators.ConclusionsNurse educator competence is at a good level in the selected European countries, but further studies are required to find the reasons behind the differences in evaluations.Public ContributionEach participating educational institution named a contact person who distributed the surveys to the participants and returned the study's metadata to the researchers.

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivePrandial hyperinsulinemia after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery (GB), and to lesser degree after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), has been attributed to rapid glucose flux from the gut and increased insulinotropic gut hormones. However, β‐cell sensitivity to exogenous incretin is reduced after GB. This study examines the effect of GB versus SG on prandial glycemia and β‐cell response to increasing concentrations of endogenous incretins.MethodsGlucose kinetics, insulin secretion rate (ISR), and incretin responses to 50‐g oral glucose ingestion were compared between ten nondiabetic participants with GB versus nine matched individuals with SG and seven nonoperated normal glucose tolerant control individuals (CN) with and without administration of 200 mg of sitagliptin.ResultsFasting glucose and hormonal levels were similar among three groups. Increasing plasma concentrations of endogenous incretins by two‐ to three‐fold diminished prandial glycemia and increased β‐cell secretion in all three groups (p < 0.05), but insulin secretion per insulin sensitivity (i.e., disposition index) was increased only in GB (p < 0.05 for interaction). However, plot of the slope of ISR (from premeal to peak values) versus plasma glucagon‐like peptide‐1 concentration was smaller after GB compared with SG and CN.ConclusionsAfter GB, increasing incretin activity augments prandial β‐cell response whereas the β‐cell sensitivity to increasing plasma concentrations of endogenous incretin is diminished.image

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the effects of a multicomponent exercise intervention during the first year post‐bariatric surgery (BS) on body composition, weight loss (WL), energy expenditure, and nutrient intake.MethodsA total of 84 patients were included in this study and were randomly assigned to either an exercise group (n = 41) or a control group (n = 20). The exercise group participated in a multicomponent exercise program that began 1‐month post‐BS, whereas the control group received only standard medical care post‐BS. Body composition was assessed by dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry, and physical activity energy expenditure was assessed by accelerometers. Nutritional intake was assessed through a 4‐day food diary.ResultsA total of 6‐months post‐BS, exercise was found to be effective in mitigating the loss of lower‐limb and appendicular lean mass (LM), as well as favoring trunk fat mass (FM) loss. Moreover, it further decreased percent FM and promoted additional excess WL. After 12 months, exercise not only reduced waist circumference but also helped to lessen the loss of total, trunk, and appendicular LM.ConclusionsExercise further induced trunk fat mass, percent FM, excess WL, and waist circumference reductions. Moreover, exercise attenuated the loss of total and regional LM.
Physical activity in the new era of antiobesity medications
Authors: Jakicic John M. , Rogers Renee J. , Church Timothy S. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractContemporary antiobesity medications (AOMs) are highly efficacious for the treatment of obesity and obesity‐related comorbidities. Given this effectiveness, lifestyle factors within the context of AOM treatments need to refocus and move away from efforts to enhance weight loss. Rather, lifestyle considerations should pivot to being complementary to the benefits realized with AOM treatment and be redirected to enhancing holistic patient health and well‐being. Physical activity is an important lifestyle behavior that contributes to many health benefits both in conjunction with, and in the absence of, weight loss. Physical activity improves cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and physical function. Physical activity may attenuate the loss of lean mass that is observed with AOM treatments and may enhance the quality and function of muscle. Physical activity is a key behavior for holistic health within this era of contemporary AOMs that warrants appropriate attention within the clinical care of patients.

Published: October 2023

AbstractWith the rapid development of offshore wind power, large‐capacity wind turbine generators have put forward higher electrical and mechanical performance requirements for the cable. In this paper, kaolin/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) composites are prepared to investigate the effect of kaolin content on the electrical properties, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of EPDM composites. The results show that appropriate amount of kaolin could synergistically improve the electrical‐thermal‐mechanical properties of EPDM. The composite with 30 wt% kaolin content achieves the best performance. The breakdown strength of kaolin/EPDM composites increases by 13.47%–72.19 kV/mm compared with that before modification, and the volume resistivity increases from 1013 to 1015 Ω·cm after modification. In addition, with the doping of kaolin, the tensile strength of composites significantly improves by over 500%–6.97 MPa, and the thermal conductivity of the composite is slightly improved. This work has important guiding significance for the development of insulation materials for cables.Highlights
Kaolin in EPDM scattered more uniform after modification.
The addition of kaolin improves the electrical‐thermal‐mechanical properties of the composite.
Kaolin/EPDM composites have promising applications.

AbstractImprovements in trait phenotyping are needed to increase the quantity and quality of data available for genetic improvement of crops. In this study, we used moderate throughput image analysis and machine learning as a pipeline for phenotyping a key wheat spike characteristic: spikelet number per spike. A population of 594 soft red winter wheat inbred lines was evaluated in the field for 2 years and images of wheat spikes were taken and used to train deep‐learning algorithms to predict spikelet number. A total of 12,717 images were used to train, test, and validate a basic regression convolutional neural network (CNN), a visual geometry group application regression model, VGG16, the ResNet152V2 model, and the EfficientNetV2L model. The EfficientNetV2L model was the most accurate, having the lowest mean absolute error, second lowest root mean square error, and highest coefficient of determination (mean absolute error [MAE] = 0.60, root mean square error [RMSE] = 0.79, and R2 = 0.90). The ResNet152V2 model was slightly less accurate with a slightly better fit (MAE = 0.61,m RMSE = 0.78, and R2 = 0.87), followed by the basic CNN (MAE = 0.75, RMSE = 1.00, and R2 = 0.74) and finally by the VGG16 (MAE = 1.51, RMSE = 1.29, and R2 = 0.076). With an average error of just above one half of a spikelet, utilizing image analysis and machine learning counting methods could be used for multiple breeding applications, including direct selection of spikelet number, to provide data to identify quantitative trait loci, or for training whole genome selection models.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAmyloids, protein, and peptide assemblies in various organisms are crucial in physiological and pathological processes. Their intricate structures, however, present significant challenges, limiting our understanding of their functions, regulatory mechanisms, and potential applications in biomedicine and technology. This study evaluated the AlphaFold2 ColabFold method's structure predictions for antimicrobial amyloids, using eight antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), including those with experimentally determined structures and AMPs known for their distinct amyloidogenic morphological features. Additionally, two well‐known human amyloids, amyloid‐β and islet amyloid polypeptide, were included in the analysis due to their disease relevance, short sequences, and antimicrobial properties. Amyloids typically exhibit tightly mated β‐strand sheets forming a cross‐β configuration. However, certain amphipathic α‐helical subunits can also form amyloid fibrils adopting a cross‐α structure. Some AMPs in the study exhibited a combination of cross‐α and cross‐β amyloid fibrils, adding complexity to structure prediction. The results showed that the AlphaFold2 ColabFold models favored α‐helical structures in the tested amyloids, successfully predicting the presence of α‐helical mated sheets and a hydrophobic core resembling the cross‐α configuration. This implies that the AI‐based algorithms prefer assemblies of the monomeric state, which was frequently predicted as helical, or capture an α‐helical membrane‐active form of toxic peptides, which is triggered upon interaction with lipid membranes.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPrevious research has often linked socioeconomic decline and 'left behind' places with out‐migration and depopulation. Few analyses have reflected on the role of connectivity in the migratory system, and how this varies across groups and places to produce peripheralisation. Using detailed migration in England and Wales, we examine the level of spatial focusing of migration flows between local authority origins and destinations, using the Gini index. The study extends the established spatial focusing literature to consider the role of age and investigates the phenomenon in 'left behind' places. Our findings show the complexity of the role of migration in the production of left behind places, with implications for population redistribution.
