Authors: Shaikh Afroze N. , Flynn Lauren , Isaac Alexis , Prince Alec , Burgan Mark , Coleman Jamian 
Published: January 2024

AbstractSubstance use remains a significant concern across college campuses and is associated with adverse mental health outcomes. Low levels of student help‐seeking call for innovative forms of support that increase access to care. The new 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has the potential to address this concern through free, 24/7 crisis support. Regression analyses concluded that more frequent substance use significantly predicted lower help‐seeking intentions for suicidal thoughts among a sample of 446 college students. Students were also least likely to use the lifeline for substance use concerns as opposed to other mental health concerns. Implications for counselors are provided.

AbstractThis study examines the effects of the Student Success Skills (SSS) intervention, an Advocating Student‐within‐Environment‐informed intervention, on Hispanic students’ (N = 681) school attendance and emotion regulation. The study variables reflected students’ attendance, self‐regulation, and test anxiety. The school counselors in the treatment group (n = 15) delivered the SSS program, while those in the control group (n = 15) did not. The results of multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) tests revealed significant differences in school attendance and test anxiety 30 weeks following the fifth SSS lesson. Statistical significance for self‐regulation was found only 2 weeks after the fifth SSS lesson.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the ultrasound characteristics of nodular localized cutaneous neurofibroma (NLCN).Materials and MethodsClinical features and ultrasound characteristics of 43 lesions of 40 patients pathologically proven as NLCNs at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from October 2014 to May 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The location, length‐to‐thickness (L/T) ratio, thickness‐to‐width (T/W) ratio, shape, margin, capsule, echogenicity, echotexture, posterior features, vascularity, and “rat tail sign” were evaluated.ResultsAll ultrasound findings showed almost perfect agreement. More than a half of NLCNs (n = 24, 55.8%, p < 0.001) were located in the subcutaneous fat layer wholly with well‐demarcation from dermis and deep fascia. Most of the NLCNs were fusiform shape (n = 27, 62.8%, p < 0.001) in the long axis and oval shape (n = 35, 81.4%, p < 0.001) in the short axis. The other ultrasound findings of NLCNs included well‐defined (n = 42, 97.7%, p < 0.001), encapsulated (n = 39, 90.7%, p < 0.001), predominately hypoechoic (n = 34, 79.1%, p < 0.001), homogeneous (n = 39, 90.7%, p < 0.001), posterior enhancement (n = 29, 67.4%, p = 0.033), and avascularity (n = 37, 86.0%, p < 0.001). Only a quarter (n = 11, 25.6%, p = 0.002) of lesions were recognized with the “rat tail sign.”ConclusionNLCNs present as fusiform shape in long axis and round shape in short axis. The common ultrasound findings of NLCNs are well‐defined, encapsulated, predominately hypoechoic, homogeneous lesion with posterior enhancement, and poor blood supply. The “rat tail sign” has low sensitivity in NLCNs.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundBeliefs are a complex research construct with deep connections to innumerable different research areas and agendas. Engineering education researchers are increasingly studying beliefs, and synergy across these efforts can lead to a greater impact in translating beliefs research into educational practice.PurposeOur purpose was to enable any researcher in engineering education to productively research beliefs as a construct. Specifically, we aimed to synthesize the different purposes for studying beliefs, and the extent to which researchers have operationalized beliefs.Scope/MethodWe conducted a systematic scoping review of beliefs following the PRISMA protocol. We extracted and mapped data from the 79 academic included manuscripts. We performed additional analysis using both inductive and deductive coding methods to synthesize how beliefs have been researched. We included studies about the beliefs of engineering students in post‐secondary education beyond the four most popular types of beliefs (i.e., self‐efficacy, mindset, epistemic, and goal orientation beliefs).ResultsGiven the diverse nature of beliefs in engineering education, we found that the findings of the included studies could not be coherently synthesized. Instead, we present (1) a synthesis of researchers' purpose(s) for studying beliefs, and (2) a detailed representation of the many ways in which researchers have operationalized beliefs using different theories and methodological approaches.ConclusionsWe recommend that researchers studying beliefs work to align their stated purpose for studying beliefs with their research contribution and build understanding of how beliefs ultimately relate to behavior. We also identified an opportunity for researchers to carefully and explicitly operationalize beliefs as a research construct.

Published: January 2024

AbstractIntroductionEmergency overcrowding is a problem in hospitals worldwide. The expansion of wards has limitations. Hospital administrative leaders are constantly looking for opportunities to improve the efficiency of resource use.MethodsThis is a care improvement study with a quasi‐experimental design. We created a hospital discharge team (HDT) to solve the issues of prolonged hospital stays. The main interventions were active search and resolution of prolongation of stay and multi‐disciplinary huddles. We developed strategies with different hospital units to expedite the processing of patients near discharge. Length of stay (LOS), morning hospital discharges, readmission rates, and bed usage were compared before (2018) and after (2019) HDT implementation.ResultsThere was a reduction in the mean LOS of 1.8 days (95% confidence interval [CI] −0.9 to −2.6; p < .001). The rate of hospital discharges before noon increased by 7.0% (95% CI 4%–11%; p < .001). The readmission rate was similar between 2018 and 2019 (+0.7%; 95% CI −0.1% to 1.9%; p = .358). We observed higher bed turnover, with 0.5 more hospitalizations per bed per month (95% CI 0.1–0.7; p = .01; mean of 3.7 ± 0.3 in 2018 and 4.1 ± 0.3 in 2019).ConclusionHDT brought benefits to our hospital, reducing the length of stay and increasing bed turnover. However, there is a need for a team focused on the project and support from managers to overcome resistance and integrate units until they are fully operational.

AbstractBackgroundManganese (Mn) deficiency due to nutrient mining by high yielding cereal–cereal cropping patterns and forgetfulness of Mn fertilizer applications becomes potential challenge in crop production.AimNano‐enabled Mn fertilizers can be safer and more nutrient efficient than conventional Mn fertilizers (nutrient use efficiency ≈ 1%–3%). However, studies about nano‐Mn fertilizer synthesis and their behaviour in soil–plant system are rare.MethodsIn this study, two novel nano‐Mn fertilizers, that is nano‐MnO2 (NMO) and manganese nanoclay polymer composites (Mn‐NCPC), were synthesized, characterized (dynamic light scattering, X‐ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopic and energy‐dispersive X‐ray, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy etc.) and investigated for their impact on growth, yield and nutrient acquisition by wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L., variety HD‐2967) in a pot culture experiment. Treatment comprised 25%, 50% and 100% of recommended dose of Mn (RDMn) through NMO along with 100% RDMn through MnSO4·H2O (MS). Effect of exposure route was also investigated using foliar spray of NMO at tillering stage. Mn‐NCPC was found to be most efficient Mn fertilizer in terms of yield, Mn uptake and use efficiency by wheat crop.ResultsNano‐sized formulations improved the solubility of Mn in soil due to its higher active surface area (NMO) and slow‐release behaviour (Mn‐NCPC); thus, minimal losses happened due to the fixing of Mn in oxide/hydroxide forms. Application of 25% RDMn through NMO fertilizers maintained equitant diethylenetriamine pentaacetate Mn content to 100% RDMn through MnSO4·H2O. Mn‐NCPC stimulated the soil enzymatic activities, namely dehydrogenase, acid–alkaline phosphatase activities. Mn‐NCPC and NMO at 100% RDMn recorded 3.51% and 5.20% improvement in grain yield, respectively, when compared to MnSO4·H2O 100%.ConclusionsMn fertilizer doses can be reduced up to 25% of RDMn when applied through NMO or Mn‐NCPC fertilizers. However, effects of Mn‐NCPC and NMO need to be critically evaluated in long‐term field experiments in various cropping systems especially under cereal–cereal sequences for economic profitability and wide‐scale farmer's adaptability.

AbstractThe intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in animals. To address the challenge of conservation, many endangered wildlife are kept in captive or semi‐captive conditions. Numerous studies have been conducted on the intestinal microbiota of captive animals, but little information is available on the intestinal microbiota of semi‐captive animals, such as Przewalski's gazelle (Procapra przewalskii), which is an endangered ungulate species only distributed around Qinghai Lake in China. In this study, we used high‐throughput sequencing methods to analyze the gut bacterial community of semi‐captive Przewalski's gazelles during summer and winter. There were differences in the gut bacterial community composition between the 2 seasons, with higher bacterial diversity in winter. Deterministic processes dominated the bacterial community assembly in both seasons. There was a greater influence of heterogeneous selection in winter compared to summer, suggesting that there was more intestinal environmental filtering and selection on shaping the gut bacterial community during winter. There were more potential probiotic bacteria and fewer potential pathogens in winter compared to summer. Overall, stronger heterogeneous selection in winter might enhance gut selection for potential probiotic bacteria and filter out potential pathogens in Przewalski's gazelles, allowing them to adapt to the harsh living conditions in winter. Our study clarified that seasonal fluctuations trigger shifts in bacterial communities, which have potential benefits for Przewalski's gazelles. These results could provide valuable information for managing semi‐captive populations and for future wild releases of Przewalski's gazelles.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study aims to develop tetrahedral amorphous carbon nanocomposite layer coated tungsten carbide drill bits for single shot drilling of composite metal stack. Different coatings were tested for hole integrity performance compared to an uncoated tool and the results were validated using process capability six‐pack analysis. The drilling process employed a 4.85 mm twist drill with a feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev and spindle speed of 2600 rev/min. The experimental results indicate that, all the coated tools produce H9 tolerance holes while uncoated tool produced H7 tolerance holes with 18 % to 35 % better results. But statistical results show that all the tools including uncoated tool require improvement to stay within the control limits. The hole circularity error obtained by all the tools were below 24 μm in both the panels and is supported by the statistical results as well. The uncoated tool exhibited 17.91 % better surface roughness in aluminium panel compared to coated tools, while coated tools produced 17.2 % to 22.3 % better surface roughness in composite panel. Statistical results suggested that, improvement is necessary when drilling aluminium panel by all the tools while dopant added coated tools produce better results in composite panel.

AbstractBackgroundChromosomal microarray (CMA) is commonly utilized in the obstetrics setting. CMA is recommended when one or more fetal structural abnormalities is identified. CMA is also commonly used to determine genetic etiologies for miscarriages, fetal demise, and confirming positive prenatal cell‐free DNA screening results.MethodsIn this study, we retrospectively examined 523 prenatal and 319 products‐of‐conception (POC) CMA cases tested at Nationwide Children's Hospital from 2011 to 2020. We reviewed the referral indications, the diagnostic yield, and the reported copy number variants (CNV) findings. Results.In our cohort, the diagnostic yield of clinically significant CNV findings for prenatal testing was 7.8% (n = 41/523) compared to POC testing (16.3%, n = 52/319). Abnormal ultrasound findings were the most common indication present in 81% of prenatal samples. Intrauterine fetal demise was the common indication identified in POC samples. The most common pathogenic finding observed in all samples was isolated trisomy 21, detected in seven samples.ConclusionOur CMA study supports the clinical utility of prenatal CMA for clinical management and identifying genetic etiology in POC arrays. In addition, it provides insight to the spectrum of prenatal and POC CMA results as detected in an academic hospital clinical laboratory setting that serves as a reference laboratory.

AbstractBackgroundDespite significant improvements in its management, preeclampsia continues to be one of the frequent causes of postpartum readmission. Increased awareness of the risk factors for postpartum readmission is required to reduce its incidence and related complications. This study determined the prevalence and associated risk factors for postpartum readmission among women with preexisting preeclampsia in a Ghanaian population.MethodsThis hospital‐based retrospective study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynaecology units of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana. We reviewed the medical records including sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of preeclampsia patients. Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 26.0 and GraphPad Prism version 8.0. p‐Value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsA total of 208 preeclampsia patients were considered in this study. The rate of postpartum readmission for a hypertensive disorder among women with preeclampsia was 46%. After adjusting for multiple confounders in the multivariate logistic model, having a family history of hypertension [aOR = 3.512, 95% CI (1.669–7.394), p = 0.0028] was associated with increased odds for postpartum readmission. However, being nulliparous [aOR = 0.321, 95% CI (0.116–0.887), p = 0.0028] was independently associated with a reduced odd for postpartum readmission.ConclusionThe rates of postpartum readmission are significantly high among preeclampsia women. Our findings highlight the importance of continued efforts to improve the health outcomes of both mother and newborn, including heightened monitoring of at‐risk patients in the Ghanaian population.
Assessing sustainability of household food consumption in rural and urban China

Published: January 2024

AbstractHousehold food consumption (HFC) has considerable implications for sustainability which need to be assessed for effective mitigation interventions. The related extant research focuses on high‐income countries and selected diets, while comprehensive sustainability assessments of HFC in developing and transitional economies remain insufficient. This represents a critical knowledge gap given the rapidly increasing patterns of food consumption in non‐western households. This study conducts a holistic sustainability assessment of HFC in rural and urban China based on the nationally established sustainability assessment indicator system (SAIS) and a comprehensive assessment index (CAI, measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100 points), as previously detailed in literature. The determinants of overall sustainability of HFC are identified via regression analysis. The results indicate that food consumption is characterized by lower economic sustainability but higher environmental sustainability. 99.5% of households are either relatively sustainable (i.e., in the assessment they score 50–75 points) or relatively unsustainable (25–50 points) while the remaining 0.5% of households are sustainable (75–100 points) or unsustainable (0–25 points). Sustainability has considerable inter‐monthly and spatial variations; it also varies across household income and size. Household income has a significant positive impact (p < .01), while household size, the presence of household members trying to lose weight, and COVID‐19 exert significant negative impacts (p < .1, p < .05, p < .01) on overall sustainability. The study provides a scientifically grounded reference to enhance sustainability of HFC in China. The methodological framework developed and validated in this study can inform the design of future research on sustainability of HFC conducted in other countries and regions.
Uncovering the unknown with REMODEAL: A systematic method for reference mode elicitation

Published: January 2024

AbstractReference modes aid in focusing modeling efforts and defining the problem to study. When faced with scarce or no data, modelers must elicit reference modes of dynamic behavior from participants. There is a lack of a systematic, scalable, rigorous and reliable method to capture and consolidate the qualitative and quantitative components of behavior‐over‐time graphs. The REference MOde DEvelopment ALgorithm (REMODEAL) fills this gap with a structured approach for modelers to elicit, verify and analyze data on tangible and intangible variables from participants. REMODEAL consists of a novel three‐graph method to triangulate a participant's reference mode of dynamic behavior. © 2024 System Dynamics Society.
Emotion beliefs, emotion regulation strategies, and test anxiety of Chinese adolescents in grade 8: Evidence from physiological recordings during an exam

Published: January 2024

AbstractControllability beliefs and goodness beliefs about emotion are two fundamental emotion beliefs. The present study considered both controllability beliefs and goodness beliefs to examine whether and how the emotion beliefs of adolescents influence their test anxiety. Besides self‐reported test anxiety (sr‐TA), the present study measured heart rate (HR) and galvanic skin response (GSR) using custom‐designed wristbands during an exam as indicators of state test anxiety. The GSR was further decomposed into the tonic skin conductance level and the transient skin conductance response. The results revealed that, after controlling the goodness beliefs about anxiety, the controllability beliefs about emotion were negatively related to sr‐TA. This relationship was mediated by suppression. The controllability beliefs about emotion were directly related to the integration of transient skin conductance responses of 5 min before the exam. They were also indirectly related to the integration of transient skin conductance responses of the exam period, whether including the 5 min before the exam or not, and HR during certain periods through suppression. Therefore, adolescents' controllability beliefs about emotion may have important implications for their test anxiety.

AbstractPW06 [(E)‐3‐(9‐ethyl‐9H‐carbazol‐3‐yl)‐1‐(2,5‐dimethoxyphenyl) prop‐2‐en‐1‐one], a kind of the carbazole derivative containing chalcone moiety, induced cell apoptosis in human pancreatic carcinoma in vitro. There is no investigation to show that PW06 inhibits cancer cell metastasis in human pancreatic carcinoma in vitro. Herein, PW06 (0.1–0.8 μM) significantly exists in the antimetastatic activities of human pancreatic carcinoma MIA PaCa‐2 cells in vitro. Wound healing assay shows PW06 at 0.2 μM suppressed cell mobility by 7.45 and 16.55% at 6 and 24 hours of treatments. PW06 at 0.1 and 0.2 μM reduced cell mobility by 14.72 and 21.8% for 48 hours of treatment. Transwell chamber assay indicated PW06 (0.1–0.2 μM) suppressed the cell migration (decreased 26.67–35.42%) and invasion (decreased 48.51–68.66%). Atomic force microscopy assay shows PW06 (0.2 μM) significantly changed the shape of cell morphology. The gelatin zymography assay indicates PW06 decreased MMP2's and MMP9's activities at 48 hours of treatment. Western blotting assay further confirms PW06 reduced levels of MMP2 and MMP9 and increased protein expressions of EGFR, SOS1, and Ras. PW06 also increased the p‐JNK, p‐ERK, and p‐p38. PW06 increased the expression of PI3K, PTEN, Akt, GSK3α/β, and E‐cadherin. Nevertheless, results also show PW06 decreased p‐Akt, mTOR, NF‐κB, p‐GSK3β, β‐catenin, Snail, N‐cadherin, and vimentin in MIA PaCa‐2 cells. The confocal laser microscopy examination shows PW06 increased E‐cadherin but decreased vimentin in MIA PaCa‐2 cells. Together, our findings strongly suggest that PW06 inhibited the p‐Akt/mTOR/NF‐κB/MMPs pathways, increased E‐cadherin, and decreased N‐cadherin/vimentin, suppressing the migration and invasion in MIA PaCa‐2 cells in vitro.
