We search for the baryon and lepton number violating charm decays, D→pℓ, where D is either a D0 or a D¯0 and ℓ is a muon or an electron, using a data sample of 921  fb−1 collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e− collider. In the absence of significant signals, we set upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (5–8)×10−7 at a 90% confidence level, depending on the decay mode.

Published: February 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the primary constraints that quantity surveying firms in Nigeria encounter while integrating indoor environmental quality (IEQ) principles into building designs.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a quantitative approach by administering a well-structured questionnaire to 114 quantity surveyors. The collected data were analyzed using methods such as frequencies, percentages, mean item scores, Kruskal–Wallis test and exploratory factor analysis.

Findings
The top five ranked constraints were limited access to funding or financing options, limited availability of green materials, limited availability of insurance for sustainable buildings, limited availability of sustainable design resources and limited diversity and inclusivity within the design profession. Based on the factor analysis, the study identified six clusters of constraints: structural-related constraints, technical-related constraints, financial-related constraints, capacity-related constraints, legal-related constraints and culture-related constraints.

Practical implications
This study has several practical implications for quantity surveying firms, policymakers and industry stakeholders involved in building design and construction in Nigeria. The findings of this study can also inform future research on the integration of IEQ principles into building designs.

Originality/value
By identifying and structuring the clusters of constraints faced by quantity surveying firms in Nigeria when implementing IEQ principles, this study provides a novel approach to understanding the challenges associated with IEQ implementation in the building sector. This understanding can guide policymakers, industry stakeholders and quantity surveying firms in developing effective strategies to overcome these constraints and promote IEQ principles in building design and construction.
Virtually authentic: examining the match-up hypothesis between human vs virtual influencers and product types
Authors: Liu Fanjue , Lee Yu-Hao 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the rising trend of virtual influencers – digitally created characters with human-like attributes. It aims to evaluate and compare their effectiveness with human influencers in terms of brand attitudes and purchase intentions. It uncovers the mechanisms underlying the differences in effectiveness observed between virtual influencers and their human counterparts.Design/methodology/approachThe research uses a 2 (influencer type: human vs virtual) × 3 (product type: functional vs symbolic vs experiential) between-subjects design. Through a pilot study (n= 334) and a main study (n= 352), the research examines the interactive effects of influencer and product type on brand attitude and purchase intentions. Hypotheses were developed and tested using moderating mediation models centered on authenticity and product–endorser fit.FindingsVirtual influencers are perceived as less authentic than human influencers across all product types, negatively influencing brand attitude and purchase intention. However, the extent to which influencer type affects brand attitudes and purchase intentions, mediated by product–endorser fit, varies based on the product type.Originality/valueThis research emphasizes two key mechanisms – authenticity and product–endorser fit – influencing the effectiveness of virtual influencers. It suggests that aligning virtual influencers with suitable product types can offset their perceived authenticity deficit, significantly affecting their endorsement effectiveness.
Subsidising Extraction: Care at Work in Zambia's Copper Mines
Authors: Lochery Emma , McNamara Thomas , Musonda James 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis article explores the ambivalence of care and its role in sustaining capitalist extraction in Zambia's copper mines. Based on ethnographic research within mines and their encompassing communities, the article documents the caring practices of mineworkers and attempts of trade unionists and managerial staff to counsel and support mineworkers as they navigate exploitative employment conditions. These acts of care are often unacknowledged or trivialised by corporate discourses and top company management. Yet, they are pivotal in maintaining and repairing fragile labour relations and, thereby, production. The article explores the way acts of care support workers but, at the same time, reassert the power of the company and the inevitability of exploitation. Following the deconstruction of paternalist welfare systems in the mining sector, neoliberal investments are buttressed by these caring practices and the wider set of relationships they mobilise within the labour force and the broader community. These acts of care thus subsidise the extraction of Zambia's mineral resources.

Published: February 2024

SummaryThe symptoms and sequelae of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) are caused by the polymerization of deoxygenated sickle haemoglobin, and people with SCA may be uniquely susceptible to adverse outcomes from hypoxia and haemoglobin desaturation. We examined by oximetry adults (aged 18–45 years) with SCA presenting symptoms indicative of polysomnography, at a single institution, irrespective of treatment, for nocturnal hypoxaemia. Clinical labs and blood for in vitro assessments were taken upon enrolment and after 8–12 weeks of oxygen therapy or observation. Of 21 screened participants, nine (43%) had sufficient nocturnal hypoxaemia to warrant oxygen therapy (≥5 min at SpO2 ≤ 88%). Time spent at SpO2 ≤ 88% associated with age (p = 0.0092), annual hospitalizations (p = 0.0018) and anaemia (p = 0.0139), as well as plasma levels of TNFα (p = 0.0019) and IL‐4 (p = 0.0147). Longitudinal analysis showed that WBC significantly decreased during the follow‐up period in hypoxic individuals but not in non‐hypoxic individuals (p = 0.0361 and p = 0.6969 respectively). Plasma levels of CCL2 and IL‐1ra tended to increase, while levels of red blood cell reactive oxygen species tended to decrease with oxygen therapy. Overall, nocturnal hypoxaemia was common in this pilot study population and associated with plausible clinical comorbidities; oxygen therapy may decrease inflammation and oxidative damage in hypoxic individuals.

Published: February 2024

SummaryBackgroundEquine anoplocephalid cestodes are tapeworms that occur worldwide in horses and are known to cause pathological manifestations and clinical disease within the digestive system of horses.ObjectiveWhile these clinical manifestations and the efficacy of currently available anthelmintics against equine tapeworms have been well documented, a recent study has demonstrated treatment failure of praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate, suggesting resistance; however, this has not been heavily investigated.Study designThis case study examined 24 Thoroughbred yearlings on one Kentucky Thoroughbred horse farm to investigate the elimination of tapeworm eggs after administration of routine anticestodal anthelmintics after confirmation of positive faecal egg counts.MethodsThe Mini‐FLOTAC faecal egg counting method was used to count anoplocephalid eggs in yearlings treated with pyrantel pamoate paste (13.2 mg base/kg), moxidectin‐praziquantel (0.4 and 2.5 mg/kg) and ivermectin‐praziquantel (0.2 and 1 mg/kg) over a 6‐month period in 2022.ResultsData demonstrated that tapeworm egg shedding persisted post‐deworming with all three anthelmintic products. Out of the 24 Thoroughbred enrolled, 11/24 (45.8%) had persistent infections in the month of March and 3/24 (12.5%) had persistent infections in April after deworming with ivermectin‐praziquantel. With moxidectin‐praziquantel, 2/24 (8.3%) remained egg count positive. For pyrantel pamoate, 3/24 (12.5%) were detected with tapeworm eggs post‐treatment. During July and August, selected yearlings had faecal sampling done before and 2 weeks post‐deworming with moxidectin‐praziquantel. For July 1/6 (16.7%) horses had tapeworm eggs both before and after deworming, and one additional horse was positive in the post‐treatment sample only. For the August treatment, 4/14 (28.6%) were egg count positive both before and after deworming, with one additional horse being positive in the post‐treatment sample only.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated evidence of anthelmintic treatment failure against equine tapeworms by means of regular faecal egg count monitoring. Veterinarians should be aware of this development and implement strategies to monitor anticestodal treatment success.
The mind–skin connection: A narrative review exploring the link between inflammatory skin diseases and psychological stress
Authors: Biazus Soares G. , Mahmoud O. , Yosipovitch G. , Mochizuki H. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractInflammatory skin diseases are known to negatively impact patient psychology, with individuals experiencing higher rates of stress and subsequent diminished quality of life, as well as mental health issues including anxiety and depression. Moreover, increased psychological stress has been found to exacerbate existing inflammatory skin diseases. The association between inflammatory skin diseases and psychological stress is a timely topic, and a framework to better understand the relationship between the two that integrates available literature is needed. In this narrative review article, we discuss potential neurobiological mechanisms behind psychological stress due to inflammatory skin diseases, focusing mainly on proinflammatory cytokines in the circulating system (the brain‐gut‐skin communications) and the default mode network in the brain. We also discuss potential descending pathways from the brain that lead to aggravation of inflammatory skin diseases due to psychological stress, including the central and peripheral hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axes, peripheral nerves and the skin barrier function.
I spy: Factors influencing the observation of oxytetracycline in calcified structures of fishes viewed using standard light and fluorescence microscopy

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) is a fluorochrome marker, and fluorescence microscopy is used to view OTC marks in fishes' calcified structures. However, OTC marks have been observed in calcified structures using standard light microscopy for multiple species. Therefore, we conducted an experiment to investigate potential factors (i.e., season, total length of fish, growth rate, and sex) influencing the observation of OTC in calcified structures (otoliths and fin rays or spines) from channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, gray redhorse Moxostoma congestum, Guadalupe bass Mircopterus treculii, and redbreast sunfish Lepomis auritus viewed using standard light and fluorescence microscopy. OTC stains were not observed in any otoliths under standard light; however, OTC marks were commonly observed in I. punctatus spines using standard light microscopy (56.2%). Ninety‐nine percent of otoliths and 88.9% of spines and fin rays had a visible fluorescent OTC mark when viewed using fluorescence microscopy. There was a negative relationship between the observed OTC mark and total length of fish for each season, but fish injected in the summer had the most structures with an observed OTC mark under either light condition. Understanding how OTC marking is affected by biological processes and environmental conditions will assist in future studies that rely on chemical marking of calcified structures by increasing efficacy of OTC marking and interpretation of marks.
Modeling the inactivation kinetics of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase during the cold plasma treatment of kiwifruit juice

Published: February 2024

AbstractCold Plasma (CP) is an emerging non‐thermal technology that preserves and decontaminates food. Kiwifruit juice spoilage enzymes polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) were studied at 24‐36 kV, 2‐10 mm juice depth, and 2‐10 min treatment time using log‐linear, Weibull distribution, and logistic models. The Weibull and logistic model explained enzyme inactivation kinetics well based on goodness of fit (Coefficient of determination: 0.97‐0.99 & root mean square error: 0.11‐2.15) and validation indices (accuracy factor: 1‐1.06 and bias factor: 0.96‐1.04). The logistic model suited PPO and POD inactivation curves well, with the least Akaike weight in 71.29% and 61.45%, respectively. POD had a half‐maximal activity of 11.37, 5.22, and 3.60 min at 24 kV, 30 kV, and 36 kV at 6 mm juice depth, compared to 8.71, 4.41, and 2.51 min for PPO. This shows that POD is more CP‐resistant than PPO, making its inactivation in kiwifruit juice crucial.Practical ApplicationKinetic modeling helps to comprehend the fundamental process and is suitable for improving the inactivation process and enhancing its efficacy. As a relatively primary method, mathematical models facilitate a greater comprehension of the mechanism and factors influencing the inactivation processes. This study involves the inactivation of PPO and POD to produce a stable kiwifruit juice. The inactivation of PPO and POD enzymes will prevent the undesirable enzymatic browning of juice. The kinetic data related to enzyme inactivation will help in deciding the process parameters like plasma voltage, juice depth, and treatment time for producing enzymatically stable kiwifruit juice.

AbstractObjectiveTo define the incidence and risk factors for developing chemotherapy‐induced neuropathic pain (CINP).MethodsRetrospective, file‐based analysis on cancer patients who received any type of conventional chemotherapy and for whom neurological evaluation was asked to reveal the extent of chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) with or without CINP. CINP was assessed by means of the PI‐NRS and Douleur Neuropathique‐4 questionnaire. The total neuropathy score‐clinical version graded the severity of CIPN.ResultsThe medical files of 500 chemotherapy‐treated cancer patients were reviewed. Any grade chronic CIPN was disclosed in 343 (68.6%) patients and CINP in 127 (37%) of them, corresponding to an overall percentage of 25.4% among all 500 included patients. The logistic regression analysis identified as independent predictors for CINP development the presence of uncomplicated diabetes (OR: 2.17; p = .039) and grade 2–3 chronic CIPN (OR: 1.61; p < .001) as also the administration of combined paclitaxel plus cisplatin (reference variable), compared to oxaliplatin (OR: 0.18; p = .001) and taxanes (OR: 0.16; p < .001). The increased severity of acute OXAIPN was associated with CINP (OR: 4.51; p < .001). OXA‐treated patients with persistent CINP presented a worst likelihood to improve after chemotherapy discontinuation, than patients receiving combined paclitaxel plus cisplatin (OR: 50; p < .001).ConclusionThe incidence of CINP in our cohort was comparable to previous reports, with severities fluctuating upwards during chemotherapy and declined post‐chemotherapy. Uncomplicated diabetes, the combined paclitaxel plus cisplatin treatment and the increased severity of acute oxaliplatin neurotoxicity mostly increase the risk for developing CINP. OXA‐treated patients present less possibilities to recover from CINP after chemotherapy discontinuation, than other chemotherapies.
Floating‐Harbor syndrome and provision of dental treatment: A case report of the dental considerations
Authors: Saeed Khadeeja Ayyaz , Alsayer Fatimah 
Published: February 2024

AbstractFloating‐Harbor syndrome (FHS) is a rare genetic syndrome with limited cases reported in the medical literature. It is an autosomal dominant condition with affected individuals carrying a pathogenic variant of the SRCAP gene. FHS cases show individuals having consistent facial features and differing levels of intellectual disability, which can affect their ability to receive different anaesthetic modalities and have capacity to consent for dental treatment. This case report focuses on the clinical management of a young adult with FHS requiring dental care with different treatment modifications tailored to the patient's individual needs. Further research and awareness of this syndrome is required to fully understand its consistent oral findings and varying intellectual abilities, to ensure appropriate and timely treatment provision.MeSH: dentistry, Floating–Harbor syndrome (FHS), SRCAP gene, clinical management

Abstract
To achieve high thermal and propulsive efficiencies from an aircraft powerplant using an air-breathing system, the turbine inlet temperature (TIT), a critical design-limit variable, must rise. However, the increment of the TIT is limited by the survivability of the turbine material. Beyond the safety zone of the material, the operation can end in failure. For this reason, the turbine nozzle guide vane (NGV) is a critical component of gas turbine engines because it must operate in hot gas environments. Due to the constraints of effective cooling and the thinnest possible shape of the trailing edge (TE), this region can be suddenly or gradually deteriorated by cracks when the turbine is in long-term operation. This situation can have a seriously negative effect on the engine’s performance because the flow field and heat phenomena are different from the usual conditions. Therefore, the problem of vane TE damage is very challenging, and sustainable solutions require a thorough understanding of flow physics and heat transfer mechanisms. A three-dimensional CFD simulation with the SST k-ω turbulence model is used in this work to investigate flow phenomena at the vane trailing edge while subjected to damage effects. The profile of the Mark II vane is used to create vane boundaries in the computational domain. The computational mesh is generated by ICEM and 18 layers are added to the vane surface to capture the flow in the boundary layer. The minimum quality of the mesh is 0.2 and y+ is less than 4.5. The FLUENT software is used as the solver, with second order upwind discretization. Under the compressible flow model, air is used as the burned gas. Broken scenarios in both the streamwise and spanwise directions are presented in a very simplistic manner, with a short, shallow cutback expanding into a long, deep one, namely, 0.1 cm × 1 cm to 0.3 cm × 3 cm. The convergence of the numerical results is considered by the residual of the governing equations. Boundary conditions are set to be the same as experimental data reported by NASA so that numerical results in terms of the pressure distribution along the vane midspan can be validated. The results predicted by the SST k-w turbulence model can provide an acceptable agreement with the experiment. For subsequent simulations, numerical results involving turbulent flow, such as turbulent viscosity, turbulent kinetic energy, vorticity, and streamlines, are compared, and discussed. The findings show that vane TE damage has a significant impact on fluid in motion, particularly the phenomenon of turbulent viscosity. This suggests that heat convection is disrupted.
