Stop Auditing and Start to CARE: Paradigm Shift in Assessing and Improving Supplier Sustainability
Authors: Tan Tarkan , Akyüz M. Hakan , Urlu Bengisu , Ruiz Santiago 
Published: December 2023

Traditional auditing has been commonly practiced by multinational companies to monitor their suppliers for sustainability violations. Based on a collaborative supplier sustainability performance improvement program at Koninklijke (Royal) Philips N.V., we introduce a framework that offers a paradigm shift to an improvement-based proactive approach that makes use of suppliers’ self-assessments. We refer to this framework as CARE, consisting of the following phases: collecting supplier sustainability data, assessing suppliers’ sustainability levels, reacting to future violations proactively, and enhancing sustainability performance. The framework integrates analytics techniques to understand the link between the general characteristics of the carefully assessed suppliers—such as location, size, and sector—and their sustainability profile, enabling large-scale supplier assessment and improvement. This information is then used to leverage machine learning techniques to predict current and future sustainability levels of suppliers and to determine best actions for sustainability improvement using mathematical programming. The utilization of analytics constitutes a pivotal element in this endeavor and notably makes CARE highly scalable because it harnesses limited supplier data—namely, only general supplier information—while there is a need to support decision making concerning thousands of suppliers. Philips makes use of this framework and reports that the overall 2021 year-on-year improvement in sustainability performance was 24% for suppliers that entered the program in 2020, indicating the efficacy of the suggested approach.

Published: December 2023

Background/Aims The extension of termination of pregnancy services in the Republic of Ireland represents a significant change to practice. As a result, education was provided to assist midwives and nurses to fulfil their expanded role. Using Kirkpatrick's framework, this study aimed to conduct an in-depth evaluation to ascertain if knowledge gained at a termination of pregnancy education programme was applied to clinical practice. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of seven midwives and nurses, 3 months after attending a termination of pregnancy education programme. Results Attendance at the programme prompted reflection on practice, with participants providing examples of how they applied the knowledge gained to the care they provide. The complexities of providing a termination of pregnancy service were highlighted, along with additional educational requirements. Conclusions Knowledge gained from the education programme was applied to practice improving termination of pregnancy care. Additional education and training needs identified will guide the development of future programmes.

Authors: Bichet Pierre , Moskwa Rémi , Goetz Christophe , Zevering Yinka , Vermion Jean-Charles , Perone Jean-Marc 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The long-term clinical outcomes, postoperative complications, and graft survival of Descemet-membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) remain poorly understood. We retrospectively assessed these variables in all consecutive eyes that underwent DMEK for any indication in 2014–2018. The findings were compared to the long-term DMEK studies of five other groups (3–10-year follow-up).

Methods
Patients underwent ophthalmological tests preoperatively, at 1, 3, 6, and 12 postoperative months, and then annually. Five-year graft survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier estimator. Change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), endothelial-cell density (ECD), and central-corneal thickness (CCT) at each timepoint was determined.

Results
107 eyes (80 patients; 72 years old; 67% female) underwent first-time DMEK for uncomplicated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (94% of eyes), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (3%), and regraft after previous keratoplasty (3%). The most common complication was graft detachment requiring rebubbling (18%). Thirteen grafts (12%) failed at ≤15 months. Cumulative 5-year graft-survival probability was 88% (95% confidence intervals = 79–94%). BCVA improved from 0.6 logMAR preoperatively to 0.05 logMAR at 1 year (p<0.0001) and then remained stable. Donor ECD dropped by 47% at 6 postoperative months and then continued to decrease by 4.0%/year. Five-year endothelial-cell loss was 65% (from 2550 to 900 cells/mm2). CCT dropped from 618 to 551 μm at 5 years (p<0.0001). These findings are generally consistent with previous long-term DMEK studies.

Conclusions
DMEK has low complication and high graft-survival rates and excellent clinical outcomes that persist up to 5 years post-surgery. DMEK seems to be a safe and effective treatment in the long term.

Published: December 2023

Background
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a form of chronic pain disorder accompanied by several tender points, fatigue, sleeping and mood disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, and memory problems. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is also a mediator of neurotrophin for many activity-dependent processes in the brain. Despite numerous research studies investigating BDNF in FM, contradictory results have been reported. Thus, we investigated the overall effect shown by studies to find the association between peripheral BDNF concentrations and its gene polymorphisms with FM.

Methods
A systematic search in online international databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, the Web of Science, and Scopus was performed. Relevant studies assessing BDNF levels or gene polymorphism in patients with FM and comparing them with controls were included. Case reports, reviews, and non-English studies were excluded. We conducted the random-effect meta-analysis to estimate the pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) or odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results
Twenty studies were found to be included composed of 1,206 FM patients and 1,027 controls. The meta-analysis of 15 studies indicated that the circulating BDNF levels were significantly higher in FM (SMD 0.72, 95% CI 0.12 to 1.31; p-value = 0.02). However, no difference between the rate of Val/Met carrier status at the rs6265 site was found (p-value = 0.43). Using meta-regression, the sample size and age variables accounted for 4.69% and 6.90% of the observed heterogeneity of BDNF level analysis, respectively.

Conclusion
Our meta-analysis demonstrated that FM is correlated with increased peripheral BDNF levels. This biomarker’s diagnostic and prognostic value should be further investigated in future studies.

Direct activation of airway sensory C‐fibers by SARS‐CoV‐2 S1 spike protein
Authors: Kim Joyce S. , Ru Fei , Meeker Sonya , Undem Bradley J. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractRespiratory viral infection can lead to activation of sensory afferent nerves as indicated by the consequential sore throat, sneezing, coughing, and reflex secretions. In addition to causing troubling symptoms, sensory nerve activation likely accelerates viral spreading. The mechanism how viruses activate sensory nerve terminals during infection is unknown. In this study, we investigate whether coronavirus spike protein activates sensory nerves terminating in the airways. We used isolated vagally‐innervated mouse trachea‐lung preparation for two‐photon microscopy and extracellular electrophysiological recordings. Using two‐photon Ca2+ imaging, we evaluated a total number of 786 vagal bronchopulmonary nerves in six experiments. Approximately 49% of the sensory fibers were activated by S1 protein (4 μg/mL intratracheally). Extracellular nerve recording showed the S1 protein evoked action potential discharge in sensory C‐fibers; of 39 airway C‐fibers (one fiber per mouse), 17 were activated. Additionally, Fura‐2 Ca2+ imaging was performed on neurons dissociated from vagal sensory ganglia (n = 254 from 22 mice). The result showed that 63% of neurons responded to S1 protein. SARS‐CoV‐2 S1 protein can lead to direct activation of sensory C‐fiber nerve terminals in the bronchopulmonary tract. Direct activation of C‐fibers may contribute to coronavirus symptoms, and amplify viral spreading in a population.
The boundary-crossing constraint revisited: movement verbs across varieties of Spanish
Authors: Calle Bocanegra Rosalía 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Talmy divided the world’s languages according to how they express movement. Spanish, a verb-framed language, purportedly constrains the use of motion verbs expressing the manner of movement (such as roll) to contexts in which no spatial boundary is crossed. Previous research suggests that this constraint sometimes does not apply. We report the first large-scale investigation of the constraint and its modulating factors (movement direction, verb type, entering/exiting, Ground size, the preposition used) across different Spanish-speaking communities. A task with open-ended description of animated videos, a sentence interpretation task, and a rating task found that Spanish and Latin American speakers (n = 180 in total) often use manner verbs to describe boundary-crossing situations (especially entering a place), although this is modulated by the preposition following the verb (more with a than en). Better understanding of this constraint in verb-framed languages has applications in, for instance, L2 acquisition research.
Comprehensive appraisal of pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies conceived via in vitro fertilization in the USA (2016–2021)
Authors: Bar-El Liron , Lenchner Erez , Gulersen Moti , Gobioff Samantha , Yeshua Arielle , Eliner Yael , Grünebaum Amos , Chervenak Frank A. , Bornstein Eran 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objectives
We set out to compare adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in singleton gestations conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) to those conceived spontaneously.

Methods
Retrospective, population-based cohort using the CDC Natality Live Birth database (2016–2021). All singleton births were stratified into two groups: those conceived via IVF, and those conceived spontaneously. The incidence of several adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes was compared between the two groups using Pearson’s chi-square test with Bonferroni adjustments. Multivariate logistic regression was used to adjust outcomes for potential confounders.

Results
Singleton live births conceived by IVF comprised 0.86 % of the cohort (179,987 of 20,930,668). Baseline characteristics varied significantly between the groups. After adjusting for confounding variables, pregnancies conceived via IVF were associated with an increased risk of several adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes compared to those conceived spontaneously. The maternal adverse outcomes with the highest risk in IVF pregnancies included maternal transfusion, unplanned hysterectomy, and maternal intensive care unit admission. Increased rates of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, preterm birth (delivery <37 weeks of gestation), and cesarean delivery were also noted. The highest risk neonatal adverse outcomes associated with IVF included immediate and prolonged ventilation, neonatal seizures, and neonatal intensive care unit admissions, among others.

Conclusions
Based on this large contemporary United States cohort, the risk of several adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes is increased in singleton pregnancies conceived via IVF compared to those conceived spontaneously. Obstetricians should be conscious of these associations while caring for and counseling pregnancies conceived via IVF.
Pressure Flakers of Late Neolithic Forest Hunter-Gatherer-Fishers of Eastern Europe and Their Remote Counterparts
Authors: Kashina Ekaterina , Simonenko Anton , Zhilin Mikhail 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The remarkable group of tools was detected among the hunter-gatherer-fishers’ archaeological materials of the East European Plain central part dated around 3500–2700 BC. The so-called “crooked items” were initially interpreted as ritual phallic depictions, but now after conducting a more detailed analysis of their morphology, technology, and use-wear, it became clear that we deal with pressure flakers used to process flint tools. The most astonishing fact is that the straight parallel to these tools exists, coming from the opposite side of the globe, namely, the Bering Strait region – Kamchatka, Chukotka, and Alaska, where the same tools are known quite well both in archaeological and ethnographical collections. In this study, we discuss the results of use-wear analysis of both handles and removable tips from the Central Russian settlements of Moscow, Ivanovo, and Yaroslavl regions dated the second half of the fourth to the beginning of the third millennium BC.

Abstract
The utilization of inorganic cubic perovskite semiconductors has increased their prominence within industrial applications pertaining to optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. Lead-free materials are currently receiving significant attention among many perovskite compounds, mostly due to their environmentally non-toxic nature. In the present work, the structural, optical, electronic, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of inorganic perovskites FrBO3 (B = Ta, Nb) are discussed via generalized gradient approximation based on density functional theory. The band structure, density of states, absorption, dielectric function and reflectivity are calculated to describe electronic and optical properties of the compounds. The ground states lattice parameters are found to be 4.292 Å and 4.194 Å with direct band gap of 1.175 eV and 0.90 eV, respectively. The elastic constants and Debye temperature of FrBO3 showed that the compounds are mechanically and thermodynamically stable. The results obtained by this study reveal that FrTaO3 has superior absorption and conductivity making it a more suitable candidate for various optoelectronic devices.
Rescuing the Jews in Lithuania during World War II: Practices of Creating a Lithuanian Museum Narrative
Authors: Šermukšnytė Rūta 
Published: December 2023

Lithuanian historiography shows that the topic of rescuing the Jews in Lithuania during World War II (WWII) is intertwined into different narrative schemes: the pre-Holocaust story of the rescue of Jewish refugees at the beginning of WWII and the topic of the Holocaust in Lithuania. The question is: what narrative schemes of the rescue of the Jews are used in Lithuanian museums, what does the museum want to communicate to the public on the topic of the rescue of the Jews, by what means does the museum create a historical narrative, what historical cultural events promote the emergence of themes of the rescue of the Jews in one or another Lithuanian museum? The analysis of four cases (Vilna Gaon Museum of Jewish History, ‘Sugihara House’ in Kaunas, The Ninth Fort of Kaunas, ‘Lost Shtetl’ museum under construction in Šeduva) is used to answer these questions. It revealed that the aim of the topic of rescuing the Jews is to present the most objective, all-encompassing image of this past and to perform several important functions with the help of it. This is the education of Lithuanian and foreign visitors (the museum as a space of knowledge), honoring, remembering and thanking the Jewish saviors (the museum as a memorial space), refuting stereotypes related to the rescue of Jews (the museum as a space of demythification).
