The Power of Biography: Using the Diary of Anne Frank to Stimulate Generalisation and Secondary Transfer of Willingness for Intergroup Contact
Authors: Goodbun Katie , Abrams Dominic 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTAn impact evaluation of a large‐scale field study tested the effects of biographical intergroup contact on children and adolescents' willingness to have intergroup contact with individuals from 12 social categories. Biographical contact was implemented through the anti‐prejudice programme led by the educational charity the Anne Frank Trust UK, based on the life of the Jewish teenager Anne Frank. Before and after participating in the programme, young people between the ages of 9 and 17 years (N = 1413 from 69 participating schools) completed a ‘Contact Star' measure of their willingness for close social contact with individuals from each of the social categories. Biographical contact substantially improved willingness for contact with Jewish people (the initial target group) as well as with all 11 other groups, as measured by the Contact Star. Additionally, increased willingness for contact with Jewish people was strongly predictive of increased willingness for contact with the other groups, thereby demonstrating a secondary transfer of improved intergroup attitudes. The effect was similarly large in the case of outgroups that were less similar or familiar to participants, contrary to the idea that secondary transfer weakens as the outgroups become less similar (a generalisation gradient). Theoretical and practical implications of this potentially powerful new form of contact are discussed.
The Paradox of Enjoyment in Luxury Consumption: Exploring Young Women's Expected and Actual Enjoyment of Luxury Goods
Authors: Razmus Wiktor , Grabner‐Kräuter Sonja 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTDoes luxury consumption bring enjoyment, as various media messages, especially advertisements, suggest? This research investigates the anticipated and experienced enjoyment associated with the use of luxury goods. We propose that anticipated and actual use of luxury goods have different effects on enjoyment, which we refer to as the paradox of enjoyment in luxury consumption. In the first study, the majority of women (74.8%) believed that using a luxury handbag (vs. an ordinary handbag) would contribute to a higher level of enjoyment/happiness. Our second study showed that imagined use of a luxury handbag led to greater enjoyment than imagined use of an ordinary handbag. Conversely, the results of the third study showed that the actual use of a luxury handbag reduced enjoyment, driven by an increase in feelings of inauthenticity. The results of the fourth study confirmed this mechanism using a different luxury brand. Furthermore, we found that the actual use of a luxury handbag increased enjoyment, but only among individuals with high levels of brand engagement in self‐concept. Overall, the results show that young women's expected enjoyment of using a luxury product does not consistently match their actual emotional experience.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTSustainable luxury integrates environmentally conscious practices with high standards in luxury offerings, propelling the growth of this market. But how navigable is this paradoxical alliance between luxury and sustainability? Accordingly, research in this domain has also taken a fillip. The present study provides a comprehensive understanding of the field's current state and offers future directions through a bibliometric analysis. We employ bibliographic coupling, citation analysis, keyword analysis, and cluster analysis using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer to map the intellectual structure of sustainable luxury by analysing 301 articles (1986–2004). We present insights into sustainable luxury literature, including authors, highly cited papers, popular journals, regional publication trends, and keyword analysis. The cluster analysis reveals five key research clusters: sustainability in luxury and fashion, sustainable practices in luxury hospitality, the sharing economy, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical considerations in the luxury sector, and luxury sustainability strategies and consumer roles in conspicuous luxury consumption. It highlights that consumer perceptions of durability, CSR, and cultural identities shape sustainable luxury consumption. It emphasises the need to reconsider traditional economic dynamics due to the rise of second‐hand luxury and the sharing economy. Based on our synthesis, we propose research questions for future exploration by employing the Theory, Context, Characteristics, and Methods framework and incorporating inputs from expert practitioners in the sustainable luxury domain.

Authors: Faisal Ayman Faris , Mustafa Yasser Fakri 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTDue to its biodiversity, traditional medicine has been recognized worldwide for centuries and continues to affect the development of complementary and alternative therapies. A wide variety of spices, herbs, and trees are known for their curative effects. Chili pepper (Ch‐p), a spice‐utilizing fruit, is rich in natural medicinally bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, capsaicinoids, and many other phytochemicals and phytonutrients. Operating in synergy and consortium, these compounds demonstrate their functionality, in comparison to lonely treatment, as active agents in handling many disorders. These may include abnormal coagulation, oxidative stress, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, cancer, and microbe‐inducing diseases. Recently, capsaicinoids, particularly capsaicin, have been shown to manage the symptoms of significant viral diseases, including COVID‐19. Capsaicin also has the potential to be an effective anesthetic agent and enables Ch‐p to be expandedly employed as a topical preparation in relieving pain as well. The phytochemicals of Ch‐p are not only beneficial and inexpensive phyto‐alternatives in disease management, but they can also be used as scaffolds for the production of novel medicines. The study also substantiates the role of the TRPV1 receptor in the mitigation of chronic diseases in conjunction with capsaicin. Nevertheless, the consumption of Ch‐p is the subject of limited medicinal research, necessitating the confirmation of the results from animal studies. The nutritional and biomedical prospection of Ch‐p‐derived products has been addressed in an accessible format in this artifact, with the potential to precisely enhance and enrich our pharmaceutical industries in the pursuit of human well‐being.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe filamentous temperature‐sensitive protein Z (FtsZ) plays a vital role in bacterial division, making it an important antibacterial target. The inhibitor activity targeting the cleft between the H7 helix and the C‐terminal substructural domain exhibited superior binding compared to the GTP binding site. This highlights the potential of the cleft as a promising target for further inhibitor discovery. In this study, we established a virtual screening (VS) pipeline using Discovery Studio software and employed FRED for molecular docking and Functional‐Class Fingerprints_6 (FCFP_6) for molecular clustering, resulting in the identification of 38 potentially active compounds. These 38 compounds were then subjected to the following FtsZ inhibition assays, resulting in the four active compounds B6, B21, B26, and B31. Further experiments showed that compounds B6 and B26 exhibited antimicrobial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8 and 32 µg/mL. Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) was used to analyze the binding modes of the protein‐ligand. In addition, we predicted the physicochemical properties and toxicity of B6 and B26. In summary, our study successfully identified novel FtsZ inhibitors with antimicrobial activity through VS and in vitro biological evaluation, demonstrating their potential for further investigation.
Research on non‐contact infrared imaging technique for multilayer storage identification of oil tanks based on an improved edge‐detection algorithm

Published: February 2025

AbstractDetection of internal storage objects in tanks is crucial for production in the petrochemical industry and chemical raw material storage. Compared to traditional methods, infrared detection provides benefits like non‐contact operation, safety, and efficiency. In image processing, utilizing edge detection to obtain edge information is an advanced approach. By analyzing the thermal texture in infrared tank images and extracting boundaries between different regions, it is possible to predict the volume of internal storage. To address the issues of noise, lack of clarity, and discontinuity in existing image edge detection methods, a novel edge detection algorithm called wavelet transform and mathematical morphological fusion to improve edge detection (WMF‐IED) is proposed. Compared to the Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, and Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) methods, the WMF‐IED algorithm offers several advantages. It not only provides clear and continuous edges but also exhibits minimal mean squared error (MSE). Additionally, it achieves maximum signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and peak signal‐to‐noise ratio (PSNR). These factors show the proposed algorithm's superior performance. Moreover, an experimental platform for storage tanks was designed and constructed to analyze the detection of internal storage contents using the proposed WMF‐IED algorithm. The results demonstrate that the WMF‐IED algorithm has strong universality and can detect the edges of various internal storage. The volume prediction errors using the WMF‐IED algorithm are less than 4% and 6% for liquid level detection and sludge detection, respectively. Based on the analysis and experimental results, a recommended sampling value is proposed, which can be selected to obtain the minimum error.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study examines the valorization of vegetable oils through Pd‐catalyzed methoxycarbonylation. It investigates the inhibitory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (PU‐FAME) on catalyst activity, which are frequently reported in academic literature. A particular focus lies on the isomerization of polyunsaturated FAME into conjugated species. In light of the formation of a stable Pd‐allyl complex with polyunsaturated compounds, an investigation of the isomerization products was conducted. NMR and GC analyses demonstrated that isomerization results in the conjugation of double bonds and their relocation toward the ω‐end of the carbon chain. The isomerization results in a thermodynamic distribution of isomerization products for mono‐ and polyunsaturated FAME. The formation of conjugated substrates was confirmed by structural analysis, and oxidative cleavage techniques were employed to determine the precise distribution of double bond positions. The findings offer insight into how conjugated PU‐FAME inhibit methoxycarbonylation, thereby limiting the valorization of vegetable oils.Practical Applications: This study provides further insights into the homogeneous catalyzed formation of conjugated methyl linoleate using a palladium catalyst. Combining different analytic techniques and chemical modification provides a novel approach for determining double bond positions in fatty acids. Furthermore, these findings may facilitate the design of new catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation process, thereby preventing the formation of conjugated intermediates. This could result in an efficient conversion of technical‐grade oils. Additionally, the production of a diverse range of isomers for subsequent functionalization is demonstrated.

ABSTRACTInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a chronic condition impacting both the gastrointestinal tract and the immune system. Intestinal inflammation and epithelial injury are the pathological features of IBD. Recent studies have reported that some strategies of dietary restriction (DR) can regulate immune system, correct the immune disorders, and improve some immune‐associated diseases such as IBD. However, as a form of DR, the effect of intermittent fasting (IF) on the IBD remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of two cycles of IF on the IBD mouse model induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). It was found that two cycles of IF significantly decreased the score of the disease activity index (DAI) and alleviated the IBD‐related symptoms. In addition, IF reversed the shortening of colon length mediated by DSS, significantly increased the number of colonic crypts, and decreased the colonic histological score. Furthermore, the proportion of CD4+ T cells in both the spleen and mesenteric lymph node was reduced by IF treatment. The expression of serum pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and IL‐6 was restrained by IF intervention. Moreover, IF administration significantly reduced the number of leukocytes and macrophages infiltrating around the crypt base in the colon. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that IF administration can alleviate the symptoms and pathology of IBD in the DSS‐induced IBD mouse model by reducing the intestinal inflammation.

Authors: Kumar Arun , Gaur Nishant , Nanthaamornphong Aziz 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTNonorthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is a promising fifth‐generation (5G) radio system candidate. NOMA's performance is further increased when integrated with Multiple inputs and Multiple Outputs (MIMO). The complexity of detecting NOMA signals also increases the utilization of numerous antennas, which upsurges the system's latency. In this article, we projected a hybrid signal detection algorithm combining zero forcing equalizer (ZFE) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) for the NOMA‐MIMO structure with the Rician and Rayleigh channel. For 16 × 16 and 64 × 64 MIMO‐NOMA, the Bit error rate (BER) is evaluated and compared for ZFE, MMSE, and Maximum likelihood (ML) detection and proposed ZFE‐MMSE algorithms. The simulation outcomes reveal that the projected ZFE‐MMSE detects the signal at low BER, outperforming the contemporary algorithms at complexity similar to MMSE and ZFE.

ABSTRACTBackgroundWalled‐off necrosis (WON) is a potentially fatal condition best treated endoscopically with metal or plastic stents. This study compares the clinical outcomes of these stents.MethodsPubMed and Cochrane were searched for trials comparing metal and plastic stents for WON. Primary outcomes were clinical and technical success.ResultsSeven studies with 230 metal stent patients and 226 plastic stent patients were included. Metal stents showed significantly shorter procedure times (SMD ‐0.80, 95% CI: ‐1.25 to −0.34), better 4‐week clinical success (OR 1.94, 95% CI: 1.00 to 3.77), and higher procedure costs (SMD 1.38, 95% CI: 0.56 to 2.20). No significant differences were observed in hospital stay (SMD ‐0.05, 95% CI: ‐0.35 to 0.25), technical success (OR 1.45, 95% CI: 0.22 to 9.43), clinical success (OR 1.13, 95% CI: 0.54 to 2.39), interventions (SMD ‐0.02, 95% CI: ‐0.34 to 0.29), need for necrosectomy (RR 1.10, 95% CI: 0.59 to 2.04), necrosectomy sessions (SMD 0.35, 95% CI: ‐0.42 to 1.11), need for percutaneous drainage (RR 0.82, 95% CI: 0.36 to 1.85), stent migration (RR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.29 to 2.66), bleeding (RR 0.97, 95% CI: 0.53 to 1.75), WON recurrence (RR 1.66, 95% CI: 0.70 to 3.92), treatment failure (death) (RR 0.75, 95% CI: 0.37 to 1.53), disconnected pancreatic duct (RR 0.93, 95% CI: 0.79 to 1.11), and total cost (SMD ‐0.02, 95% CI: ‐0.29 to 0.26).ConclusionMetal stents offer shorter procedure time and better 4‐week clinical success, although at a higher cost, with most clinical outcomes showing no significant differences between stent types.
Existing Personal Leadership Prototypes Versus Organizational Leadership Prototypes: How Individuals Manage Tensions Between Leading With Authenticity and Conformity During Their Socialization as Leaders in Organizations

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBased on qualitative data collected at the United States Military Academy (West Point), this research enhances our understanding of how individuals manage tensions between leading with authenticity and organizational pressures for conformity, resulting from a lack of alignment between their existing personal leadership prototypes and organizational prototypes of leadership. Our theoretical model moves beyond existing research on leader identity construction− which largely treats individuals as blank slates as they construct who they will be as leaders in organizations− by highlighting how individuals learn to enact a leadership approach during socialization that fits within their personal zone of acceptable authenticity and the organization's zone of acceptable conformity. During socialization, individuals may experiment with discarding certain aspects of their existing leadership prototype and/or ignore certain aspects of the organization's leadership prototype, resulting in four primary types of leader–organization fit: Pretender, Believer, Maverick, or Rogue. Our model uncovers important outcomes associated with the varying levels of conformity and authenticity characteristic of these four types of leader–organization fit and highlights how one's fit might evolve over time as individuals engage with and learn from experiences as leaders.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundDespite adequate discussion and counseling in the office, inadequate health literacy or language barriers may make it difficult to follow instructions from a physician and access necessary resources. This may negatively impact survival outcomes. Most healthcare materials are written at a 10th grade level, while many patients read at an 8th grade level. Hispanic Americans comprise about 25% of the US patient population, while only 6% of physicians identify as bilingual.Questions/Purpose(1) Does ChatGPT 3.5 provide appropriate responses to frequently asked patient questions that are sufficient for clinical practice and accurate in English and Spanish? (2) What is the comprehensibility of the responses provided by ChatGPT 3.5 and are these modifiable?MethodsTwenty frequently asked osteosarcoma patient questions, evaluated by two fellowship‐trained musculoskeletal oncologists were input into ChatGPT 3.5. Responses were evaluated by two independent reviewers to assess appropriateness for clinical practice, and accuracy. Responses were graded using the Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES) and the Flesch‐Kincaid Grade Level test (FKGL). The responses were then input into ChatGPT 3.5 for a second time with the following command “Make text easier to understand”. The same method was done in Spanish.ResultsAll responses generated were appropriate for a patient‐facing informational platform. There was no difference in the Flesch Reading Ease Score between English and Spanish responses before the modification (p = 0.307) and with the Flesch‐Kincaid grade level (p = 0.294). After modification, there was a statistically significant difference in comprehensibility between English and Spanish responses (p = 0.003 and p = 0.011).ConclusionIn both English and Spanish, none of the ChatGPT generated responses were found to be factually inaccurate. ChatGPT was able to modify responses upon follow‐up with a simplified command. However, it was shown to be better at improving English responses than equivalent Spanish responses.

Published: February 2025

PurposeVariations in vocal fold bowing, as measured endoscopically with the bowing index (BI), across neurodegenerative diseases remain unexplored, which may inform interventions to minimize morbidity and mortality secondary to voice and airway protective dysfunction. The study's aim was to compare BI between people with Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and cerebellar ataxia.MethodsThirty individuals with Parkinson's disease, 23 with progressive supranuclear palsy, and 24 with cerebellar ataxia were included and underwent flexible laryngoscopy. BI was measured using ImageJ software and a linear regression model was used to compare differences in total BI between groups, controlling for age.ResultsAverage total BI was 14.60 (SD = 6.26, range 4.03–28.62) for people with progressive supranuclear palsy, 10.10 (SD = 6.64, range 0–34.13) for Parkinson's disease, and 8.35 (SD = 5.90, range 0–25.95) for cerebellar ataxia. Controlling for age, people with progressive supranuclear palsy demonstrated 4.74 greater BI compared to Parkinson's disease (95 CI: 1.19–8.28; p = 0.001), but there was no significant difference between people with Parkinson's disease and cerebellar ataxia (β = 0.37; 95% CI: −5.02, 5.77; p = 0.891) or people with progressive supranuclear palsy and cerebellar ataxia (β = 5.11; 95% CI: 0.01–10.21; p = 0.050).ConclusionsThe results suggest that BI is significantly greater in people with progressive supranuclear palsy compared to Parkinson's disease. It is important to recognize vocal fold atrophy and its potential impact on voice and airway protective measures in these patients.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 2025
