Published: February 2025

Purpose
In this paper, a dynamic projection scanning lithography (DPSL) technology and system is proposed to achieve cross-scale 3D printing, addressing the limitations of the traditional 3D printing methods that struggle to achieve both large build volumes and high precision. The method achieves a printing accuracy of 10 µm within a build volume of 100 × 100 × 100 mm, and successfully fabricates complex hollow structures and functional models.

Design/methodology/approach
DPSL uses a digital micromirror device (DMD)-based digital projector to generate light patterns for light-curing printing. The light patterns are created by sequentially loading the print design frame by frame, forming dynamic light patterns that are scanned line by line across the material surface for solidifying the printing materials. By controlling the scanning range of the digital projector, it is theoretically able to print models of any size. Additionally, by using DMD oblique scanning, the impact of the DMD micromirrors’ shape and arrangement on print accuracy is addressed by overlapping exposures along the scanning direction of the digital projector.

Findings
This study shows the printing system resolution of 1.3 µm, while the maximum size of the printing model depends on the system scanning range. Additionally, by using DMD oblique scanning, the impact of the DMD micromirrors’ shape and arrangement on print accuracy is addressed by overlapping exposures along the scanning direction of the digital projector.

Originality/value
This work demonstrates that DPSL based on oblique scanning technology is used to achieve 3D printing with high precision, large area and smoother surface. In addition, a rigid release method is used to achieve a precise printing layer thickness in the top-down printing process. By adhering the release film to the bottom surface of the glass and adjusting the descent distance of the stage for each layer, uniform layer thickness can be achieved for each exposure.

Published: February 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the evolution in the quality of integrated reporting disclosures using the International Integrated Reporting Council’s (IIRC) seven guiding principles and the evolution of sustainable development goal (SDG) disclosures of a New Zealand company following its voluntary replacement of sustainability reports with integrated reports in 2014, to determine whether these disclosures are ceremonial or substantive.

Design/methodology/approach
Longitudinal qualitative content analysis of the case company’s 2014 to 2022 integrated reports was conducted using Ahmed Haji and Anifowose’s (2016) research instrument amended in line with the IIRC2021framework’s guiding principles and extending it to include the United Nations’ SDGs.

Findings
Disclosure progressively evolved from initially being ceremonial in 2014 for integrated reporting and in 2015 for the SDGs to being substantive for both by 2022.

Practical implications
This study showcases substantive and transparent disclosure and provides insights into corporate responses to SDGs. It urges managers to provide company-specific disclosures to mitigate concerns about the lack of transparency.

Social implications
Poor reporting about SDGs may lead to potential conflicts with stakeholders. The findings show that integrated reporting is a useful corporate reporting tool to enhance transparency and enable stakeholders to better understand organisations’ engagement with the SDGs.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to present an empirical account of integrated reporting and SDG disclosure over time in an environment where integrated reporting has been adopted voluntarily. This paper delves into the substance of integrated reports and contributes to the academic debate on the quality of integrated reporting practice.

AbstractDrug‐induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is one of the severe drug eruptions accompanied by fever and multiple organ dysfunction, and it is induced by a relatively limited range of drugs, including anticonvulsants. A distinctive feature of this condition is its association with the reactivation of herpes viruses, particularly human herpesvirus 6. The pathogenesis involves two key factors: drug allergy and herpesvirus reactivation. DIHS is often challenging to diagnose in its early stages, and its clinical course varies widely, ranging from relatively mild to life‐threatening cases. Additionally, unexpected complications, such as autoimmune diseases, may occur during the convalescent phase. As a result, diagnosing, treating, and predicting the prognosis of DIHS remain complex issues. In response to these challenges, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Study Group on Severe Erythema Multiforme has taken the lead in developing new guidelines for the management of DIHS. These guidelines aim to support clinical practice by providing up‐to‐date, evidence‐based information on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of DIHS.

Abstract

Our aim was to quantify the life‐history strategies of the cold desert annual species Alyssum linifolium and Tetracme quadricornis (Brassicaceae), with particular emphasis on the seed stage.

Freshly matured seeds were tested for germination over a range of alternating temperature regimes in light and in dark, and the effects of seed coat scarification, cold stratification, dry after‐ripening and GA3 on dormancy‐break and germination were determined. Seeds were buried in the field at 0 (surface), 2 and 5 cm and germination of exhumed seeds tested at monthly intervals for 2 years. Seedling emergence of both species was monitored in the cold desert, and survival to maturity of plants from autumn‐ and spring‐germinated cohorts was determined.

Most fresh seeds were dormant, and dormancy was broken by all four treatments tested. In the early stages of dormancy‐break, seeds germinated to low percentages over the range of temperatures, and with additional dormancy‐break germination percentages increased. Thus, seeds have Type 6 non‐deep physiological dormancy. In the buried seed study, dormancy‐break occurred in summer (June–August), and germination peaked in late summer. By late autumn (November), all non‐germinated seeds had re‐entered dormancy. During snowmelt in late winter (February–March), some dormancy‐break occurred, and low percentages of seeds of both species germinated. In the field, seeds of both species germinate in autumn and in spring, with more seeds of A. linifolium germinating in autumn than in spring and more seeds of T. quadricornis germinating in spring than in autumn. A portion of plants from both seedling cohorts of both species survived to maturity (set seeds) with more spring‐ than autumn‐germinating plants doing so for both species. Thus, both species behave as facultative winter annuals.

Synthesis. Seeds of A. linifolium and T. quadricornis have two dormancy cycles per year. In one cycle, dormancy is broken via warm temperatures in summer and in the other one via cold stratification in late winter. Semiannual dormancy cycling results in two germination cohorts in 1 year, and it may be a bet‐hedging strategy in the rainfall‐unpredictable cold desert environment.
Building Resilience in a Crisis Through Boards – Exploring the Mediating Effect of Board Behavior

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe present study examines two board behaviors, their antecedents and their consequences in the COVID‐19 crisis. The two behaviors are (1) board involvement in crisis management planning and (2) board creative effort in finding solutions. The antecedents are board expertise and cognitive diversity. The consequence is firm resilience. The study builds its theoretical argument using the classical and refined upper echelons theory, stating that the two board behaviors mediate the effect of board expertise and cognitive diversity on firm resilience. Survey data from the United States during early 2020 was used. We found strong support for our overall argument that board involvement in crisis management planning and board creative effort in finding solutions are critical mediators. Our study also shows that the context of a crisis matters. During COVID‐19, board cognitive diversity can negatively affect board behavior. We conclude the paper with discussions and future research proposals.

ABSTRACTObjectiveCongenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of deafness and neurodevelopmental disability in children. Our objective was to assess the cost utility of first‐trimester serological CMV screening, compared to screening of high‐risk pregnancies and no serological screening.DesignA decision‐analytic model was created to compare the cost utility of three strategies from a healthcare sector perspective: universal first‐trimester serological screening, screening only of high‐risk pregnant women (both including antiviral prophylaxis in cases of primary infection) and serological testing triggered by foetal morphological ultrasound (no CMV serological screening).SettingCanada.PopulationHypothetical population of 80 000 pregnant women.MethodsProbability, expected values and cost estimates were derived from published literature and local hospital and national insurance data.Main Outcome MeasureCost per maternal and infant quality‐adjusted life year (QALY) lost.ResultsUniversal serological screening was superior to both screening of high‐risk women and no screening (utility of −0.42, −0.63 and − 0.87 QALY lost, respectively). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that universal screening was the most cost‐effective strategy regardless of the incidence of primary infection, the acceptability of amniocentesis and the efficacy of antiviral prophylaxis. In the Monte Carlo analyses, universal serological screening was the most cost‐effective option in 96.36% of simulations. Universal serological screening would allow detection of 152 cases of primary maternal CMV infection and would prevent 29 cases of congenital CMV infection annually.ConclusionOur findings support the adoption of a population‐based prenatal screening programme for the prevention of congenital CMV infection.
Flecking of fat‐filled milk powders

Published: February 2025

AbstractFlecking is an insolubility issue in fat‐containing milk powders. The undissolved particles (flecks) are of different shapes and structures, primarily composed of fat and/or protein. The occurrence of flecking in reconstituted milk powders negatively impacts the visual appearance and overall quality of the final product, thereby influencing consumer acceptance and brand trust. Standard quality control measures, like wettability or insolubility, and analysis including rehydration testing are important but not sufficient in predicting, identifying and/or quantifying flecking, often necessitating additional measures to be implemented. Suitable additional analyses for flecking include confocal laser scanning microscopy, electron microscopy, particle size, and density analysis. However, it is crucial to highlight that merely tightening quality control parameters is insufficient to combat flecking. This approach does not allow for the implementation of rapid solutions when the issue is detected at the final stages of quality assessment. To effectively address fleck formation, it is necessary to scrutinize unit operations and identify precisely where, and how, in the process flecks are formed. The issue often requires reformulation and/or engineering interventions, making the final product more robust and resilient to fleck formation. To date, protein denaturation/aggregation and emulsion instability are proposed as major mechanisms governing fleck formation. Additionally, the effect of seasonality of milk chemical composition and reconstitution medium (water/coffee/tea) are other important factors. This work aims to review flecking in reconstituted fat‐filled milk powder solutions by interrogating the production process, including the skim milk base wet and dry processing, alongside the powder storage conditions and reconstitution methods, and thereby identify strategies for the control of flecking.

AbstractMicroemulsion gels (MGs) are nanostructured systems created by the addition of thickening agents/biopolymers to a microemulsion's aqueous or oily phases, offering benefits like improved solubilization, enhanced stability, high encapsulation efficiency, and sustained release with versatile applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetology. MGs are intricate systems with thermodynamic robustness and controllable rheological characteristics crucial for obtaining high structural integrity and achieving innovative results regarding food product development in diverse areas of food, including colloidal carriers, food packaging, active compound delivery, antimicrobial vectors, and production of biopolymer nanoparticles. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis, hence understanding about MG systems, is needed to identify trends and gaps, helping researchers to identify promising areas for innovation and providing direction for future research. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of MG systems, their characteristics, formulation, formation mechanisms, design approaches, digestion dynamics, and rheological properties. MGs excel in solubilizing hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactives due to their enhanced viscosity and interconnected droplet network within the gel matrix. Despite their advantages, challenges, such as formulation complexity, require further understanding. This article also explores innovative biopolymers, characterization, and extensive applications, while addressing case studies, and emerging trends leveraging the potential of MG systems for enhancing food stability, functionality, and nutritional value.

Published: February 2025

AbstractAimThis qualitative study aimed to gain insights from Australian consumers to inform the development of potential interventions to facilitate better portion control of discretionary foods.MethodsFour focus group sessions were conducted online with Australian adults (aged 18–65). A semi‐structured question guide with proposed interventions in selected settings (cafes and supermarkets) was developed to moderate the discussion. Collected data were analysed using a combined approach; deductive thematic analysis was conducted using a predeveloped codebook, followed by inductive thematic analysis which was used to capture additional patterns raised from the data.ResultsA total of 35 participants completed the study (mean age 38, 19 females). Three major themes were identified; (1) portion control challenges posed by the food environment, (2) support for portion size interventions conditional upon consistent unit pricing, and (3) the trade‐off between smaller sizes, cost, and packaging waste. The current food environment was identified as promoting overconsumption, with larger serving sizes reported to be more ubiquitous and better value for money than smaller sizes. Participants mostly supported interventions that improve portion control of discretionary foods by providing a wider range of serving size options that meet their personal preferences, with proportional pricing whilst simultaneously reducing default serving sizes. However, the increase in packaging waste as a result of the greater availability of smaller packages was noted as a concern.ConclusionsFuture research should focus on gathering more representative data from various population subgroups to inform public health recommendations aimed at improving discretionary food portion control.

ABSTRACTMosquitoes act as biological carriers spreading numerous vector borne diseases globally. The present research aimed to study the effect of essential oils (EOs) from Pentanema indicum (L.) Y. Ling and Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M. King & H. Rob against Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. Concentrations of 3.125, 6.25, 12.5 25 and 50 ppm were tested for their mosquitocidal properties. The essential oil (EO) from P. indicum demonstrated promising ovicidal activity, achieving 100% efficacy against Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus and 76% efficacy against An. stephensi at a concentration of 50 ppm within 24 h. Similarly, C. odorata exhibited significant activity at higher concentrations, with ovicidal rates of 72% for Ae. aegypti, 79% for An. stephensi and 64% for Cx. quinquefasciatus at 300 ppm after 72 h. In terms of larvicidal activity, P. indicum showed potent toxicity with LC50 values of 4.28 ppm for Ae. aegypti, 14.01 ppm for An. stephensi and 5.47 ppm for Cx. quinquefasciatus. Additionally, C. odorata exhibited considerable mosquito larvicidal activity at higher concentrations, with LC50 values of 95.28 ppm for Ae. aegypti, 98.95 ppm for An. stephensi and 89.05 ppm for Cx. quinquefasciatus after 24 h. However, no significant pupicidal activity was observed for both EOs. GC–MS analysis identified β‐Pinene (14.31%), D‐Limonene (13.48%) and Caryophyllene (25.48%) as the main components in P. indicum. The EO from C. odorata contained α‐Pinene (12.10%), Geijerene (11.62%) and Caryophyllene (10.64%) as the primary components; probably these compounds were responsible for the observed activities. Toxicity studies indicated that the EOs from both plants had no adverse effects on natural predators. The EOs were then formulated for field application and tested in a laboratory setting; they demonstrated promising mosquitocidal activity without harming natural predators. This study suggests that EOs from P. indicum and C. odorata offer an effective alternative to synthetic pesticides.

ABSTRACTSand flies called Phlebotomus papatasi are the primary vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is an endemic disease in Al‐Madinah Al‐Munawarah, Saudi Arabia. The molecular characterization of sand fly species is a helpful tool because genetic variability and population structure within and between populations might influence vectoral capability, necessitating the assessment of management strategies to control the spread of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Therefore, in this study, the structure of the P. papatasi population in Al‐Madinah region was investigated. The samples of P. papatasi were collected from Al‐Madinah region, identified, and subjected to mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) gene sequencing (n = 45). Analysis of the sequences revealed 13 substitutions. There were 12 different haplotypes identified. Nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity were low estimated to be 0.0017 and 0.574, respectively. The neutrality indices determined using Tajima's D and Fu and Li's F* were all negative and statistically significant. This indicated that the population has an excess of singletons and low‐frequency variations. Network analysis showed one main haplotype and shared haplotypes at different nodes. According to this study, the P. papatasi population in the Al‐Madinah region is homogeneous. The knowledge obtained in this study contributes to a better understanding of the genetic geographic distribution of P. papatasi populations in relation to the location of Leishmania major foci, which could aid in the development of control strategies.
Oral administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus MP108 ameliorates hemolytic jaundice in rats
Authors: Wu Gaohong , Ai Qing , Shi Yuan 
Published: February 2025

AbstractAccumulating evidence suggests that specific probiotic strains exert effects on hemolytic jaundice (HJ), and probiotic strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus exhibit potential beneficial effects against HJ. This study aimed to determine the effects of L. rhamnosus MP108 (MP108) on rats with acetylphenylhydrazine (APH)‐induced HJ. One week of oral MP108 administration (16 × 109 CFU/kg·day) significantly reversed the HJ‐induced body‐weight reduction and normalized serum levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), total superoxide dismutase (T‐SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐PX), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and superoxide anion (O2−) in HJ rats. Furthermore, significant improvements were observed in the pathological changes of liver and intestinal tissues. 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing of fecal samples demonstrated that MP108 altered gut microbiota composition by increasing Lacticaseibacillus spp. abundance, which correlated with the serum levels of ALT, AST, TBIL, T‐SOD, GSH‐PX, H2O2, and O2−. In summary, these results provide evidence that MP108 has the potential to improve HJ symptoms by alleviating hepatic impairment, which is associated with changes in gut microbiota composition.Practical ApplicationThe study indicates that MP108 can modulate the gut microbiota, improve liver function, and thereby alleviate the symptoms of hemolytic jaundice (HJ). These findings suggest a promising therapeutic approach for HJ, offering potential benefits to patients with related conditions.
