The effects of using L1 Chinese or L2 English in planning on speaking performance among high- and low-proficient EFL learners
Authors: Liu Yingsheng , Yeung Pui-sze 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSpeaking constitutes one of the main goals of learning a second language (L2). Despite the increasing attention on the role of planning and language transfer in L2 learning, the combined effect of using different languages and pre-task planning on language production remains unclear. This study investigated whether the use of different languages in planning affects speaking performance and whether the effect differs by language proficiency. A total of 84 students in Chinese universities learning English as a foreign language participated in several speaking tasks after planning using their first language (L1) Chinese or L2 English. Findings showed that using L1 in planning results in significantly higher syntactic complexity, accuracy, and fluency in speaking performance than using L2 in planning, while the difference in lexical diversity were not statistically significant. Further analysis shows that for speech accuracy, the facilitative effect of L1 was stronger among low-proficient than high-proficient learners. Findings from this study support the use of L2 learners’ entire linguistic repertoire in speaking activities and provides implications on speech production theories as well as translanguaging pedagogies.

Abstract
Background
We aimed to examine the accompanying and solo impacts of conditioned medium of human adipose-derived stem cells (h-ASC-COM) and photobiomodulation (PBM) on the maturation stage of an ischemic infected delayed-healing wound model (IIDHWM) of rats with type 2 diabetes (TIIDM).

Results
Outcomes of the wound closure ratio (WCR) results, tensiometrical microbiological, and stereological assessment followed almost identical patterns. While the outcomes of h-ASC-COM + PBM, PBM only, and h-ASC-COM only regimes were significantly better for all evaluated methods than those of group 1(all, p < 0.001), PBM alone and h-ASC-COM + PBM therapy achieved superior results than h-ASC-COM only (ranged from p = 0.05 to p < 0.001). In terms of tensiometrical and stereological examinations, the results of h-ASC-COM + PBM experienced better results than the PBM only (all, p < 0.001).

Conclusions
h-ASC-COM + PBM, PBM, and h-ASC-COM cures expressively accelerated the maturation stage in the wound healing process of IIDHWM with MRSA in TIIDM rats by diminishing the inflammatory reaction, and the microbial flora of MRSA; and increasing wound strength, WCR, number of fibroblasts, and new blood vessels. While the h-ASC-COM + PBM and PBM were more suitable than the effect of h-ASC-COM, the results of h-ASC-COM + PBM were superior to PBM only.

Abstract
Background
The gut–brain axis (GBA) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has only been investigated in limited mice models despite dysbiosis of the gut microbiota being considered one of the major treatment targets for neurodegenerative disease. Therefore, this study examined the compositional changes of fecal microbiota in novel transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing human α-synuclein (hαSyn) proteins under the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) to analyze the potential as GBA model.

Results
The expression level of the αSyn proteins was significantly higher in the substantia nigra and striatum of NSE-hαSyn Tg mice than the Non-Tg mice, while those of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were decreased in the same group. In addition, a decrease of 72.7% in the fall times and a 3.8-fold increase in the fall number was detected in NSE-hαSyn Tg mice. The villus thickness and crypt length on the histological structure of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract decreased in NSE-hαSyn Tg mice. Furthermore, the NSE-hαSyn Tg mice exhibited a significant increase in 11 genera, including Scatolibacter, Clostridium, Feifania, Lachnoclostridium, and Acetatifactor population, and a decrease in only two genera in Ligilactobacillus and Sangeribacter population during enhancement of microbiota richness and diversity.

Conclusions
The motor coordination and balance dysfunction of NSE-hαSyn Tg mice may be associated with compositional changes in gut microbiota. In addition, these mice have potential as a GBA model.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Incidence of malignancy in architectural distortion (AD) is variable, and as a standard of care, all the architectural distortions are biopsied. It is important to identify benign and malignant characteristics of ADs on imaging to predict the probability of malignancies as well as to establish radiological–pathological concordance. The aim of our study was to analyse the utility of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) in primary AD, to describe and evaluate the accuracy of CEM parameters and derive a novel scoring system to differentiate benign and malignant AD.

Results
Forty-six patients with 49 ADs were evaluated with a median age, 51 years (age range—34–72 years) and all were women. Of the 49 ADs, 65.3% (32/49) were benign, and 34.69% (17/49) were malignant. The CEM parameters which predicted malignancy were moderate or marked density, size > 0.95 cm, CT ratio > 1.31, mass morphology and washout kinetics. The absence of enhancement and enhancing AD with AD score of 0 had a 100% NPV for malignancy. Enhancing architectural distortion with a score of 3 or more had 100% PPV for malignancy. A score of 1 or 2 was indeterminate, and an individualised decision was recommended.

Conclusions
In primary AD, several CEM features have significantly predicted malignancy when the score is 3 and above. A biopsy may be avoided in non-enhancing AD and enhancing AD with a score of 0 due to high NPV.

Published: November 2023

Background
Estimates suggest that 1 in 100 people in the UK live with facial scarring. Despite this incidence, psychological support is limited.

Aims
The aim of this study was to strengthen the case for improving such support by determining the incidence and risk factors for anxiety and depression disorders in patients with facial scarring.

Method
A matched cohort study was performed. Patients were identified via secondary care data sources, using clinical codes for conditions resulting in facial scarring. A diagnosis of anxiety or depression was determined by linkage with the patient's primary care general practice data. Incidence was calculated per 1000 person-years at risk (PYAR). Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors.

Results
Between 2009 and 2018, 179 079 patients met the study criteria and were identified as having a facial scar, and matched to 179 079 controls. The incidence of anxiety in the facial scarring group was 10.05 per 1000 PYAR compared with 7.48 per 1000 PYAR for controls. The incidence of depression in the facial scarring group was 16.28 per 1000 PYAR compared with 9.56 per 1000 PYAR for controls. Age at the time of scarring, previous history of anxiety or depression, female gender, socioeconomic status and classification of scarring increased the risk of both anxiety disorders and depression.

Conclusions
There is a high burden of anxiety disorders and depression in this patient group. Risk of these mental health disorders is very much determined by factors apparent at the time of injury, supporting the need for psychological support.

PURPOSE Persistent smoking is associated with poor outcomes in cancer care. It is strongly recommended that oncology care providers provide cessation support; however, there is limited information about smoking cessation assessment and treatment patterns in routine oncology practice. METHODS Leaders of the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) and National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (National Accredited Program for Breast Cancer) elected to participate in a national quality improvement initiative (Just ASK) focused on smoking assessment/treatment in cancer care. Online baseline survey responses were received from 762 accredited programs. RESULTS Most programs reported regularly asking about smoking (89.9%), documenting smoking history and current use (85.8%), and advising patients to quit (71.2%). However, less than half of programs reported documenting a smoking cessation treatment plan (41.7%). Even fewer programs reported regularly assisting patients with quitting (41.3%), providing self-help information (27.2%), providing individual counseling (18.2%), and referring patients to an affiliated tobacco treatment program (26.1%) or external Quitline (28.5%). Very few programs reported regularly prescribing medications (17.6%). Principal barriers to tobacco treatment delivery were lack of staff training (68.8%), lack of designated specialists (61.9%), perceived patient resistance (58.3%), lack of available resources (53.3%), competing clinical priorities (50.9%), inadequate program funding (40.6%), insufficient staff time (42.4%), and inadequate reimbursement (31.0%). CONCLUSION Although programs reported a high rate of smoking assessment, critical gaps in advising and assisting patients with cessation were found. Improving equitable delivery of smoking assessment/treatment in cancer care will require addressing key organizational and provider barriers for implementation of best practices.

Published: November 2023

Background: The growing popularity of nutrient-rich foods, among which is quinoa, is due to the increasing demand for healthier choices. Oils and hydrolyzed proteins from these foods may help prevent various health issues. The objective of this work was to perform extraction from the endosperm of the grain from high-protein quinoa flour by physical means via a differential abrasive milling process and extracting the oil using an automatic auger extractor at 160°C, as well as characterizing extracted oil. Methods: Quinoa oil extraction and physicochemical characterization were carried out. Chemical and physical quality indexes of quinoa oil were established, and both characterizations were conducted based on international and Columbian standards. Thermal properties were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, and rheological and interfacial properties of the oil were evaluated using hybrid rheometers and Drop Tensiometers, respectively, to determine its potential for obtaining functional foods. Results: The result was 10.5 g of oil/ 100 g of endosperm, with a moisture content of 0.12%, insoluble impurities of 0.017%, peroxide index of 18.5 meq O2/kg of oil, saponification index of 189.6 mg potassium hydroxide/g of oil, refractive index of 1.401, and a density of 0.9179 g/cm3 at 20°C. Regarding contaminating metals, it presented 7 mg of iron/kg of oil, a value higher than previously established limits of 5 mg of iron/kg of oil. The oil contained 24.9% oleic acid, 55.3% linoleic acid, and 4% linolenic acid, demonstrating antioxidant capacity. Quinoa oil showed thermal properties similar to other commercial oils. Conclusions: The interfacial and rheological properties were suitable for the stabilization of emulsions, gels, and foams, which are important in various industrial applications and could facilitate the development of new products. The extracted quinoa oil presented similar characteristics to other commercial oils, which could make it a potential product for commercialization and application in different industries.
A Heuristic for Combining Correlated Experts When There Are Few Data
Authors: Soule David , Grushka-Cockayne Yael , Merrick Jason 
Published: November 2023

It is intuitive and theoretically sound to combine experts’ forecasts based on their proven skills, while accounting for correlation among their forecast submissions. Simpler combination methods, however, which assume independence of forecasts or equal skill, have been found to be empirically robust, in particular, in settings in which there are few historical data available for assessing experts’ skill. One explanation for the robust performance by simple methods is that empirical estimation of skill and of correlations introduces error, leading to worse aggregated forecasts than simpler alternatives. We offer a heuristic that accounts for skill and reduces estimation error by utilizing a common correlation factor. Our theoretical results present an optimal form for this common correlation, and we offer Bayesian estimators that can be used in practice. The common correlation heuristic is shown to outperform alternative combination methods on macroeconomic and experimental forecasting where there are limited historical data.

Exposure to the Views of Opposing Others with Latent Cognitive Differences Results in Social Influence—But Only When Those Differences Remain Obscured
Authors: Guilbeault Douglas , van Loon Austin , Lix Katharina , Goldberg Amir , Srivastava Sameer B. 
Published: November 2023

Cognitive differences can catalyze social learning through the process of one-to-one social influence. Yet the learning benefits of exposure to the ideas of cognitively dissimilar others often fail to materialize. Why do cognitive differences produce learning from interpersonal influence in some contexts but not in others? To answer this question, we distinguish between cognition that is expressed—one’s public stance on an issue and the way in which supporting arguments are framed—and cognition that is latent—the semantic associations that underpin these expressions. We theorize that, when latent cognition is obscured, one is more likely to be influenced to change one’s mind on an issue when exposed to the opposing ideas of cognitively dissimilar, rather than similar, others. When latent cognition is instead observable, a subtle similarity-attraction response tends to counteract the potency of cognitive differences—even when social identity cues and other categorical distinctions are inaccessible. To evaluate these ideas, we introduce a novel experimental paradigm in which participants (a) respond to a polarizing scenario; (b) view an opposing argument by another whose latent cognition is either similar to or different from their own and is either observable or obscured; and (c) have an opportunity to respond again to the scenario. A preregistered study (n = 1,000) finds support for our theory. A supplemental study (n = 200) suggests that the social influence of latent cognitive differences operates through the mechanism of argument novelty. We discuss implications of these findings for research on social influence, collective intelligence, and cognitive diversity in groups. This paper was accepted by David Simchi-Levi, organizations.

Network Referrals and Self-Presentation in the High-Tech Labor Market
Authors: Campero Santiago , Kacperczyk Aleksandra (Olenka) 
Published: November 2023

The practice of recruiting job candidates sourced through social contacts (i.e., referrals) is pervasive in the labor market. One reason employers prefer to recruit through referrals is that these candidates often present resumes that are perceived to be a better fit for the role. Whereas existing research attributes this pattern to how individuals who make referrals (i.e., referrers) select individuals to refer, we propose a new mechanism: differences in self-presentation. We argue that referral ties increase the candidates’ propensity to engage in self-presentation work, motivating and assisting candidates in presenting their backgrounds to convey fit. We examine this claim by utilizing unique data from an applicant-tracking system containing job applications for positions at U.S.-based high-tech firms between 2008 and 2012. A candidate fixed-effects specification reveals that when a candidate applies to a firm via a referral, he or she tends to showcase a rendition of his or her career history that better matches the target job than when the candidate pursues positions without such ties. Several mechanism checks, combined with supplementary survey evidence, further indicate that the presence of referral ties to the target firm is associated with greater motivation to engage in self-presentation work as well as the provision of different forms of assistance in that work.

Adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia as a cause of widespread musculoskeletal pain: A retrospective case series of single center experience
Authors: Kim Sungwon , Kim Sun Woong , Lee Byung Chan , Kim Du Hwan , Sung Duk Hyun 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Osteomalacia (OM) is frequently confused with various musculoskeletal or other rheumatic diseases, especially in patients with adult-onset widespread musculoskeletal pain because of its low prevalence and non-specific manifestations.
AIM
To facilitate the early diagnosis and etiology-specific treatment of adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM.
METHODS
A retrospective review of medical records was performed to screen adult patients who visited a physiatry locomotive medicine clinic (spine and musculoskeletal pain clinic) primarily presenting with widespread musculoskeletal pain at a single tertiary hospital between January 2011 and December 2019. We enrolled patients with hypophosphatemia, high serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels, and at least one imaging finding suggestive of OM.
RESULTS
Eight patients with adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM were included. The back was the most common site of pain. Proximal dominant symmetric muscle weakness was observed in more than half of the patients. Bone scintigraphy was the most useful imaging modality for diagnosing OM because radiotracer uptake in OM showed characteristic patterns. Six patients were diagnosed with adefovir (ADV)-induced Fanconi syndrome, and the other two patients were diagnosed with tumor-induced OM and light-chain nephropathy, respectively. After phosphorus and vitamin D supplementation and treatment for the underlying etiologies, improvements in pain, muscle strength, and gait were observed in all patients.
CONCLUSION
Mechanical pain characteristics, hypophosphatemia, and distinctive bone scintigraphy patterns are the initial diagnostic indicators of adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM. ADV-induced Fanconi syndrome is the most common etiology of hypophosphatemic OM in hepatitis B virus-endemic countries.
Interstitial pneumonia combined with nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection: A case report
Authors: Qi Dao-Da , Zhuang Yi , Chen Yang , Guo Jing-Jing , Zhang Ze , Gu Yan 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Nocardia infection is a relatively uncommon disease, with no reports among patients with interstitial pneumonia. Due to its atypical clinical symptoms and chest computed tomography (CT) findings and the frequent yielding of negative results by conventional cultures, it poses challenges for timely diagnosis and treatment.
CASE SUMMARY
A 63-year-old female patient presented to our hospital in July 2022 with a 3-mo history of intermittent cough and poor appetite, accompanied by a 2-wk long duration of headaches. She had a previous medical history of interstitial pneumonia and was on oral prednisone and cyclosporine. Chest CT revealed the presence of newly developed round nodules. The diagnosis of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection was confirmed through metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) performed on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Targeted anti-infection therapy was initiated, resulting in symptom improvement and radiological resolution, further validating the mNGS results.
CONCLUSION
Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection is a clinically rare condition that is primarily observed in immunocompromised patients. Its clinical and radiological manifestations lack specificity, but mNGS can aid in rapidly obtaining pathogenic information. Early initiation of targeted antimicrobial therapy based on mNGS results can improve patient prognosis.

Published: November 2023

Metamaterial filters represent an essential method for researching the miniaturization of infrared spectral detectors. To realize an 8–2 µm long-wave infrared tunable transmission spectral structure, an extraordinary optical transmission metamaterial model was designed based on the grating diffraction effect and surface plasmon polariton resonance theory. The model consisted of an Al grating array in the upper layer and a Ge substrate in the lower layer. We numerically simulated the effects of different structural parameters on the transmission spectra, such as grating height (h), grating width (w), grating distance (d), grating constant (p), and grating length (S1), by utilizing the finite-difference time-domain method. Finally, we obtained the maximum transmittance of 81.52% in the 8–12 µm band range, with the corresponding structural parameters set to h=50nm, w=300nm, d=300nm, and S1=48µm, respectively. After Lorentz fitting, a full width at half maximum of 0.94±0.01µm was achieved. In addition, the Ge substrate influence was taken into account for analyzing the model’s extraordinary optical transmission performance. In particular, we first realized the continuous tuning performance at the transmission center wavelength (8–12 µm) of long-wave infrared within the substrate tuning thickness (D) range of 1.9–2.9 µm. The structure designed in this paper features tunability, broad spectral bandwidth, and miniaturization, which will provide a reference for the development of miniaturized long-wave infrared spectral filter devices.
