AbstractAimTo understand the experiences of Filipino internationally educated nurses (FIENs) on their recognition and credentialing pathway in the recruitment process in Finland.BackgroundThe nursing shortage in Finland results in the recruitment of internationally educated nurses (IENs) such as those from the Philippines. In the context of migration, IENs experience a rigorous process to become qualified nurses in the destination country.MethodsA thematic analysis of the secondary data from qualitative interviews was conducted. Ten FIENs (n = 10) were recruited from university hospitals in Finland through purposeful and snowball sampling. The study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist.ResultsThree main themes were identified. First, pre‐migration victories and predicaments described the experiences of FIENs during the recruitment process and the pathway to acquiring a Registered Nurse qualification. Second, ambiguous integration implied integrating into the workplace while working on the top‐up education programme as a prerequisite to nursing registration. Lastly, migration uncertainty discussed the interest among FIENs to continue practising as Registered Nurses (RNs) in Finland.ConclusionsPre‐migration orientation and workplace integration experiences influenced FIENs’ choice to practise as RNs in Finland. The licensure pathway for FIENs required collaboration from various stakeholders in Finnish society. It is recommended to structure the system for the recognition and qualification process of IENs by creating a national model in line with international standards and requirements in collaboration with higher education institutions.Implication for nursing policyRecognition of previous education and clinical experience can facilitate the transition to becoming an RN for IENs, but the lack of a clear education model and recognition of foreign nursing qualifications leads to deskilling and hinders IENs from practising. Policies prioritising education and integration into the local healthcare system can facilitate the integration and professional growth of IENs, enabling them to contribute significantly to the healthcare system.

AbstractBoth the measurement age of a longitudinal trait and the common pre‐sampling procedures used in beef cattle herds may affect the identification of a functional candidate gene (FCG) that is potentially associated with a trait. To identify the FCG that takes part in the genetic control of body weight at five different ages in a beef cattle population with and without sequential sampling, the animals were weighed at different measurement events, around 330, 385, 440, 495 and 550 days old. Genetic parameters were estimated for body weight at each age using a single trait (STM) and a random regression model (RRM). In addition, two different databases were used to estimate the genetic parameters: the first (DB100) was formed by all animals that were weighed in the five measurement events, and the second (DB70) has records of the same population, considering that 70% of the heaviest animals were selected after each measurement event. For DB100, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) were performed with 21,667 SNP markers to identify genomic windows that explained at least 1% of the genetic variance. Additionally, prioritization analyses were performed and FCGs were selected. We associated seven different FCGs with body weight at different ages. Among them, the gene DUSP10 was suggested as FCG in all five ages evaluated. Genetic parameters estimated for body weight using DB100 were similar when STM and RRM were applied. However, when DB70 was used as phenotypic data, there were differences between the two models. When the STM was applied, there were differences between the genetic parameters estimated for body weight when DB100 or DB70 were used as sources of phenotypes, but not for the estimates obtained with RRM. The importance of each gene for animal growth can change at different ages, and different genes may be more relevant to body weight at each different growth stage for beef cattle. Besides, sequential sampling can affect the GWAS results of a longitudinal trait. The age of the animal when a longitudinal trait is measured and pre‐sampling can also contribute to inconsistencies in GWAS results for body weight in beef cattle, depending on the time when that data were collected, and consequently on the identification of FCG between studies, even when models that consider a covariance structure are used.

AbstractTomato golden mosaic disease, caused by the tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV), is one of the most serious tomato diseases. ToSRV is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1, from a wide range of hosts. Introducing ToSRV in commercial fields probably can occur by transporting the virus from distant locations. However, our hypothesis is that the inoculum causing epidemic development might be related to nearby sources. This study evaluated the short‐range flight distance of B. tabaci MEAM1 (marked with detectable proteins and powder dye), through recaptures in yellow sticky traps, and the transmission of ToSRV by viruliferous B. tabaci MEAM1 to tomato plants placed at increasing distances from a release point. Evaluated whiteflies reached a maximum of 30 m from the release point, and no ToSRV‐infected tomato plants were detected at greater distances. These findings reinforce the suspicion that the epidemic‐supporting source of ToSRV inoculum must be close to commercial cultivation areas. About the efficacy of the type of markers used, of the two protein sources tested (pasteurized chicken egg‐white albumin and commercial soy‐based extracts as sources of albumin and lecithin, respectively), albumin was considered easier to detect. Marking with these proteins or with two dyes (blue or pink) did not affect B. tabaci MEAM1 mortality, although field tests showed that fewer marked than unmarked insects were recaptured. Dye marking was considered more practical because of the ease of detection. The study validates a new tool to understand the movement of B. tabaci MEAM1, based on different marking methods.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe Dar al Gani (DaG) olivine‐phyric shergottites share mineralogical and geochemical characteristics, which confirm that these meteorites are derived from a single source. Bulk trace elements (La/Yb—0.12), in situ maskelynite 87Sr/86Sr (~0.7014) and redox estimates (FMQ ~ −2) indicate derivation from a depleted, reduced mantle reservoir; identical to all ~470 Ma shergottites ejected at 1.1 Ma. The DaG shergottites have been variably affected by terrestrial alteration, which precipitated carbonate along fractures and modified bulk‐rock fluid mobile (e.g., Ba) elements. Nonetheless, sufficient data are available to construct a multi‐stage formation model for the DaG shergottites and other 1.1 Ma ejection‐paired shergottites that erupted at ~470 Ma. First, partial melting of a depleted mantle source occurred at 1540 ± 20°C and 1.2 ± 0.1 GPa, equivalent to > ~100 km depth. Then, initial crystallization in a staging chamber at ~85 km depth at the crust–mantle boundary took place, followed by magma evolution and variable incorporation of antecrystic olivine ± orthopyroxene. Subsequently, crystallization of olivine phenocrysts and re‐equilibration of olivine antecrysts occurred within an ascending magma. Finally, magmas with variable crystal loads erupted at the surface, where varied cooling rates produced a range of groundmass textures. This model is similar to picritic flood basalt magmas erupted on Earth.

AbstractInfant and young child feeding (IYCF) plays a crucial role in early childhood growth and development. This study summarizes recent IYCF practices in multiple refugee settings and compares them to those in the host countries. We analyzed 203 surveys conducted among refugees residing in 15 countries and 120 unique sites and assessed eight IYCF indicators available from those surveys. A total of 146 surveys were conducted in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) and 50 in Western and Central Africa (WCA) regions. The median prevalence across surveys of all four indicators describing intake of breast milk was relatively high: 96.6% for ever breastfed, 81.2% for initiation of breastfeeding within 1 h of birth, 76.9% for exclusive breastfeeding 0–5 months, and 75.0% for continued breastfeeding 12–23 months. The median prevalence of early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding was markedly higher in ESA than in WCA (85.0% vs. 37.5% and 83.5% vs. 56.1%, respectively). Conversely, the overall median prevalence of timely introduction of solid and semisolid foods and flesh food consumption was low: 51.8% and 16.1%, respectively. Flesh food consumption was higher in WCA than in ESA (27.4% vs. 11.6%). The median prevalence of mixed milk feeding at 0–5 months and bottle feeding was very low: 2.4% and 3.8%, respectively. Indicators describing breast milk intake were generally either similar or higher in refugees than in the host country populations, whereas the other indicators were generally higher in the host populations than in refugees. The low prevalence of timely introduction of solids and of flesh food consumption in refugees is concerning and requires substantial improvement.

Summary
Abscisic acid (ABA) is best known for regulating the responses to abiotic stressors. Thus, applications of ABA signaling pathways are considered promising targets for securing yield under stress. ABA levels rise in response to abiotic stress, mounting physiological and metabolic responses that promote plant survival under unfavorable conditions. ABA elicits its effects by binding to a family of soluble receptors found in monomeric and dimeric states, differing in their affinity to ABA and co‐receptors. However, the in vivo significance of the biochemical differences between these receptors remains unclear.
We took a gain‐of‐function approach to study receptor‐specific functionality. First, we introduced activating mutations that enforce active ABA‐bound receptor conformation. We then transformed Arabidopsis ABA‐deficient mutants with the constitutive receptors and monitored suppression of the ABA deficiency phenotype.
Our findings suggest that PYL4 and PYL5, monomeric ABA receptors, have differential activity in regulating transpiration and transcription of ABA biosynthesis and stress response genes. Through genetic and metabolic data, we demonstrate that PYR1, but not PYL5, is sufficient to activate the ABA positive feedback mechanism.
We propose that ABA signaling – from perception to response – flows differently when triggered by different PYLs, due to tissue and transcription barriers, thus resulting in distinct circuitries.
Simultaneous Evaluation of Tibiofemoral and Patellofemoral Mechanics in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Combined Experimental and Computational Approach

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not fully restored natural patellofemoral (P-F) mechanics across the patient population. Previous experimental simulations have been limited in their ability to create dynamic, unconstrained, muscle-driven P-F articulation while simultaneously controlling tibiofemoral (T-F) contact mechanics. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel experimental simulation and validate a corresponding finite element model to evaluate T-F and P-F mechanics. A commercially available wear simulator was retrofitted with custom fixturing to evaluate whole-knee TKA mechanics with varying patella heights during a simulated deep knee bend. A corresponding dynamic finite element model was developed to validate kinematic and kinetic predictions against experimental measurements. Patella alta reduced P-F reaction forces in early and midflexion, corresponding with an increase in T-F forces that indicated an increase in extensor mechanism efficiency. Due to reduced wrapping of the extensor mechanism in deeper flexion for the alta condition, peak P-F forces in flexion increased from 101% to 135% of the applied quadriceps load for the baja and alta conditions, respectively. Strong agreement was observed between the experiment and model predictions with root-mean-square errors (RMSE) for P-F kinematics ranging from 0.8 deg to 3.3 deg and 0.7 mm to 1.4 mm. RMSE for P-F forces ranged from 7.4 N to 53.6 N. By simultaneously controlling dynamic, physiological loading of the T-F and P-F joint, this novel experimental simulation and validated model will be a valuable tool for investigation of future TKA designs and surgical techniques.
Numerical Study of Mixed Convection of Buoyant Twin Jet
Authors: Nassira Nouali , Amina Mataoui 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The effect of mixed convection of twin vertical jets is investigated numerically in this paper. The results are presented specifically for flows affected by buoyancy for two parallel jets of same velocities ranging between 0.25 m/s and 5.0 m/s and temperatures between 295 K and 320 K. Both jets generate a slow flow with a temperature difference (with the ambient flow) less or equal to 32 °C (305 K). Predictions of dynamical and thermal parameters are obtained for the merging and combining regions. This study reveals that the trajectory of the two jets is strongly influenced by the ratio of buoyancy to inertial forces. Results indicate that, relative to isotherm jets, the location along the vertical symmetry plane at which the two jets merge (merging point) decreases with increasing jet inlet temperature. It was also found that the location of the merging point is shifted toward the confining wall as the velocity of the jets increases. The behavior law (linear regression), relating to the expansion of the jet, is not verified in the developed region for each value of the inlet velocity and temperature. This is explained by the fact that natural convection is more predominant than forced convection. The results show that the self-similarity of the cross profiles of the mean velocity and the behavior law relating to the expansion of the jet are obtained throughout the developed region.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
A novel approach for microstructure reconstruction using artificial intelligence (MR-AI) was proposed to nondestructively measure the through-thickness average stochastic fiber orientation distribution (FOD) in a prepreg platelet molded composite (PPMC) plate. MR-AI approach uses thermal strain components on the surfaces of a PPMC plate as input to the deep learning model, which allows to predict a distribution of local through-thickness average fiber orientation state in the entire PPMC volume. The experimental setup with a heating stage and digital image correlation (DIC) was used to measure thermal strains on the surface of the PPMC plate. Optical microscopy was then used to measure FOD in the cross section of the PPMC plate. FOD measurements from optical microscopy imagery compared favorably with FOD prediction by MR-AI. The proposed methodology opens the opportunity for rapid, nondestructive inspection of manufacturing-induced FOD in molded composites.

ABSTRACT

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling methane emissions from deep-sea cold seeps. Microbial groups associated with different AOM processes have been briefly investigated, but the AOM activities associated with the utilization of different electron acceptors in the deep-sea methane seeps remain largely unknown. Here, surface sediments (0–4 cm) from two cold seeps (Site F/Haima) and the Xisha trough in the South China Sea (SCS) were incubated to measure AOM potentials driven by nitrite, nitrate, and sulfate as different electron acceptors with isotopically labeled methane gas (

), and the population shifts of microbial communities along the incubation were investigated by high-throughput sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction based on both the 16S rRNA gene and functional genes. Nitrite and nitrate were preferentially used prior to sulfate during the incubation, and nitrate-/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (Nr-/N-DAMO) contributed more to the methane flux in both the cold seeps and the trough. The highest rates of DAMO and sulfate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (SAMO) were detected at Site F, consistent with the transcript abundance of
mcr
A and
dsr
B genes during the incubation, and might be explained by the
in situ
active functional groups. The former process might be explained by
Campylobacteria
, which could couple sulfide oxidation and nitrate consumption to further participate in the N-DAMO process, while the latter process might be due to the higher proportions of
Desulfobacterota
. This study elucidates the diversity and potential activities of major microbial groups in the DAMO and SAMO processes in the deep-sea cold seeps using isotopic tracing incubations and provides direct evidence for the occurrence of Nr-/N-DAMO as a previously overlooked microbial methane sink in the deep-sea hydrate-bearing sediments in the SCS.

IMPORTANCE
Cold seeps occur in continental margins worldwide and are deep-sea oases. Anaerobic oxidation of methane is an important microbial process in the cold seeps and plays an important role in regulating methane content. This study elucidates the diversity and potential activities of major microbial groups in dependent anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation processes and provides direct evidence for the occurrence of nitrate-/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (Nr-/N-DAMO) as a previously overlooked microbial methane sink in the hydrate-bearing sediments of the South China Sea. This study provides direct evidence for occurrence of Nr-/N-DAMO as an important methane sink in the deep-sea cold seeps.

ObjectivesWe studied association of laboratory testing beyond the international normalised ratio (INR) with bleeding and stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin.DesignThis was a retrospective nested case–control study from the Finnish Warfarin in Atrial Fibrillation (FinWAF) registry (n=54 568), reporting the management and outcome in warfarin-anticoagulated patients. Associations of blood count test frequency and results were assessed together with risk of bleeding or stroke/TIA during 5-year follow-up.SettingNational FinWAF registry, with data from all six hospital districts. Follow-up period for complications was 1 January 2007–31 December 2011.ParticipantsA total of 54 568 warfarin-anticoagulated patients.ResultsThe number of patients with bleeding was 4681 (9%) and stroke/TIA episodes, 4692 (9%). In patients with bleeds, lower haemoglobin (within 3 months) preceded the event compared with the controls (median 126 vs 135 g/L; IQR 111–141 g/L vs 123–147 g/L, p<0.001), while patients with stroke/TIA had only modestly lower INR (median 2.2 vs 2.3; 1.8–2.6 vs 2.1–2.7, p<0.001). When the last measured haemoglobin was below the reference value (130 g/L for men, 120 g/L for women), the OR for a bleeding complication was 2.9 and stroke/TIA, 1.5. If the haemoglobin level was below 100 g/L, the complication risk increased further by 10-fold. If haemoglobin values were repeatedly (more than five times) low during the preceding 3 months, future OR was for bleeds 2.3 and for stroke/TIA 2.4.ConclusionsThe deeper the anaemia, the higher the risk of bleeding and stroke/TIA. However, INR remained mainly at its target and only occasionally deviated, failing to detect the complication risk. Repeated low haemoglobin results, compatible with persistent anaemia, refer to suboptimal management and increased the complication risk in anticoagulated patients.
