Resilient design of hyperconnected multiactor Physical Internet supply chain networks
Authors: Tordecilla Rafael D. , Montoya‐Torres Jairo R. , Guerrero William J. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe Physical Internet (PI) is a relatively new logistics paradigm defined as a supply chain framework whose physical components are standardized and optimized with the main objective of increasing the supply chain's overall efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Given the novelty of the PI concept, there is a lack of scientific literature addressing it from a quantitative point of view, although formulating and solving mathematical models representing resilient PI problems are relevant and innovative issues for academics, practitioners, and governments. In this work, we present a multiperiod mixed‐integer programming model to design PI‐enabled supply chain networks, in which both cost and resilience are optimized. Hyperconnection and multiple actors are considered in the proposed models. A lexicographic method is proposed to solve these models with multiple objectives, which includes a modified version of the hypervolume measure. Both newly designed and adapted benchmark instances are employed to assess our models' performance. We compare this model against a traditional proprietary logistics model and a horizontal collaboration model between two companies. Results show that hyperconnectivity increases resilience by and reduces the supply chain network design costs by . The risk of not satisfying the destination's demands is reduced as well. Furthermore, in the PI context, we propose a minimax model that has been proved to increase cost equity between the considered actors. This model reduces the average difference between the costs of these actors from to .
Uncertain demurrage and detention decisions in hinterland container management
Authors: Jeong Yoonjea , Kim Gwang , Shin Youngchul 
Published: January 2025

AbstractDue to the global supply chain crisis, the container supply chain has been characterized by heightened uncertainty, leading to periodic disruptions in the productivity of container flows. To adeptly navigate these challenges, this study provides individual free‐time policy on hinterland container operation systems in the face of uncertainty. The investigation unfolds through the presentation of two analytical models, rooted in both demurrage‐ and detention‐based models with practical implementation. Within these models, we explicitly formulate each optimization problem within a spectrum of scenarios encompassing the tardiness and earliness of container retrieval and return by a consignee. Through extensive numerical analyses, we elucidate the intricate trade‐offs associated with decision variables of container supply chain members, offering a comprehensive understanding of their impact on the level of uncertainty. Employing a comparative approach, we validate the proposed models by providing valuable insights and guidelines pertaining to optimal demurrage and detention processes among uncertain conditions.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimThe APAGE Position Statements aimed to provide guidance to healthcare practitioners on clinical practices aligned with climate sustainability.MethodsA taskforce convened by APAGE proposed provisional statements. Twenty‐two gastroenterologists from the Asian Pacific region participated in online voting and consensus was assessed through an anonymized and iterative Delphi process.ResultsThere were five sections that addressed the rationale for climate action, the importance of adopting principles of waste management, clinical practice, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and issues related to advocacy and research. Sixteen statements achieved consensus and included the following: 1. APAGE recommends adopting prompt measures to reduce the carbon footprint of clinical practice due to the importance of climate action and its health cobenefits. 5. APAGE recommends adherence to professional clinical guidelines to optimize clinical care delivery in gastroenterology and hepatology to avoid the environmental impact of unnecessary procedures and tests. 8. APAGE recommends an emphasis on health promotion, disease prevention, and appropriate screening and surveillance, when resources are available, to reduce the environmental impact of managing more advanced diseases that require more intensive resources. 12. APAGE recommends that technological advances in endoscopic imaging and artificial intelligence, when available, be used to improve the precision of endoscopic diagnosis to reduce the risk of missed lesions and need for unnecessary biopsies. 13. APAGE recommends against the routine use of single‐use endoscopes.ConclusionThe position statements provide guidance to healthcare practitioners on clinical practices in gastroenterology, hepatology, and endoscopy that promote climate sustainability.
Political Ideology Shapes Reporting Regulation: SEC Commissioners' Views on IFRS for US Issuers
Authors: Becker Kirstin , Daske Holger , Pelger Christoph , Zeff Stephen A. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated rulemaking steps toward adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for US issuers in 2007, but it never issued a final decision. In this paper, we use public material and interviews to examine the links between commissioners' political ideology and their views on IFRS. We find that differences in political ideologies pervaded the debate on IFRS. In line with their belief in the advantages of “free markets,” Republican commissioners supported a move to IFRS, particularly in the form of giving US firms a choice between US GAAP and IFRS. Democratic commissioners were more reluctant to partly or fully replace the well‐established system of US GAAP with IFRS, a step that was considered tantamount to deregulation and accompanied by concerns about the International Accounting Standards Board's governance. Our findings highlight the influence of political ideology on the regulatory process related to reporting issues. Thus, bipartisan rulemaking becomes unlikely in times of pronounced political confrontations, as recently evidenced by the SEC's rule on climate‐related disclosures.

Published: January 2025

AbstractObjectiveThis study examines how attachment orientations are associated with emotional reactivity (i.e., emotional experience and expression) during couples' comforting conversations, as well as age‐related differences in these associations.BackgroundEffective emotional support during times of need is essential for maintaining intimate relationships. While it is well documented that attachment anxiety and avoidance significantly challenge partners' comforting interactions, research on how these attachment styles affect partners' emotional reactivity in comforting situations remains lacking.MethodThe current study recruited 37 younger (Mage = 24.33) and 41 older couples (Mage = 70.27) in Germany. Couples first separated to relive a recent personal negative event (i.e., the comfort seeker) or a non‐emotional event (i.e., the comforters), and then reunited for a comforting conversation about the negative event, with subsequent assessments of their subjective emotional experience, facial, and verbal expressions.ResultsFindings indicated that comfort seekers' anxiety was associated with more difficulties in their own emotional recovery and a greater decrease in their partner's positive emotions after comforting conversations. Moreover, comforters' avoidance was associated with their partner's reduced positive facial expression. Notably, significant age‐related differences were identified, with younger couples showing stronger associations between attachment styles and negative verbal expression compared to older couples.ConclusionThe study highlights how attachment styles are associated with emotional reactivity in couples' comforting situations, emphasizing the need for tailored therapeutic interventions to improve emotional recovery and positive emotional expression, especially in younger couples.
Education towards a reasonable humanism
Authors: Haldane John 
Published: January 2025

AbstractEducation is twice over concerned with human nature, most extensively as it is presupposed in the pursuit of diverse aims, and more specifically, as understanding it and applying such understanding are themselves made objects of study and teaching. The latter was a principal concern of ancient, renaissance and enlightenment humanists. These and others who focussed on the human condition have tended to arrive at one of the three attitudes: the celebratory, the gloomy and the condemnatory. Recent decades have seen tyrannies, global wars, campaigns of genocide, economic crises, seemingly irreconcilable political polarisation, man‐made environmental degradation and other evils. Besides posing practical challenges, these put in question ideas of historical progress, of social harmony and of personal flourishing, and thereby have implications for an understanding of the human condition and for what to teach concerning it, and what qualities of character to seek to inculcate.

AbstractObjectiveExtended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing bacteria pose a significant threat to public health due to their resistance to commonly used antibiotics. This meta‐analysis aims to determine the prevalence and distribution of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing bacteria in Indonesia.MethodsThis systematic review and meta‐analysis adhere to PRISMA guidelines to estimate the prevalence of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing bacteria in Indonesia from 2008 to 2024. Systematic searches were conducted by PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Index Medicus, and data were analyzed using a random‐effects model to address heterogeneity.ResultsA systematic search yielded 1160 records. After duplicate removal and eligibility screening, 64 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, and 48 were suitable for quantitative analysis. The pooled prevalence of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing‐producing bacteria in Indonesia was 46.38% (95% CI: 39.55%–53.21%) with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 99.05%), reflecting substantial variability in methodologies, populations, and regional contexts. While Sumatra shows the highest prevalence at 63.99% (95% CI: 62.09%–65.89%) and Kalimantan the lowest at 15.24% (95% CI: 9.45%–21.02%), these findings must be interpreted with caution due to the significant heterogeneity. In hospitals, the prevalence was 47.13% (95% CI: 39.71%–54.54%), and in community was 47.26% (95% CI: 26.47%–59.95%). Adults had a higher prevalence (44.56%, 95% CI: 35.48%–53.64%) than children (32.38%, 95% CI: 20.85%–43.91%). The prevalence of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing Escherichia coli was 57.84% (95% CI: 45.97%–69.72%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae was 51.03% (95% CI: 41.19%–60.86%).ConclusionThese findings highlight the urgent need for stringent infection control measures, tailored surveillance programmes, and effective antibiotic stewardship in Indonesia to mitigate the impact of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing bacteria on public health. The substantial heterogeneity underscores the complexity of antimicrobial resistance epidemiology in Indonesia, necessitating cautious interpretation of pooled prevalence and standardised methodologies for future research to ensure accurate prevalence estimates.
A Review of Technologies for the Early Detection of Wildfires
Authors: Honary Ryan , Shelton Jeff , Kavehpour Pirouz 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Wildfires have become a persistent and growing global risk, causing increasing financial, human, and environmental damage. By all accounts and predictions, they will continue to rise in frequency and intensity throughout the 21st century. This paper begins by analyzing the physics of fire and outlines why detecting wildfires in their incipient stages is the most effective way to manage them. We review the various architectures and approaches adopted for wildfire detection, including spaceborne, airborne, fixed cameras, and sensor networks. The paper further analyzes the pros and cons of each approach and reviews recent deployments and published research. In particular, it focuses on the growing and significant role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) play in improving the effectiveness of the aforementioned architectures. It examines recent algorithms and models published by various wildfire detection platforms and compares their effectiveness. The study suggests that the most effective solutions combine elements of the mentioned architectures, integrating different sensors to look for different fire signatures, and coupling them with sophisticated DL algorithms to maximize sensitivity while minimizing false alarms. An important trend is the advancement of low-power high-performance hardware architectures, enabling real-time operation of DL algorithms on an edge device with limited memory and processing resources. As seconds and minutes can significantly impact our ability to effectively suppress a wildfire, the ability to process data, in real-time at the network edge, even in remote, unpredictable, and fragile environment is crucial.
Piecewise linear vibrations of a cracked beam
Authors: Tandel Vaibhav , Jayaprakash K. R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We consider the piecewise linear (PWL) vibrations in a cracked Rayleigh beam. The change in local stiffness at the crack site due to a mode-1 crack is introduced through a PWL flexural spring such that the local stiffness is higher in the closed crack configuration than in the open crack configuration. Whereas, without loss of generality, we consider the closed crack configuration to be an intact/pristine beam disregarding the contact micromechanics and relative motion of the cracked surfaces. However, the presented method is applicable even when one considers loss of flexural rigidity in the closed crack configuration as well. Such a model results in slope discontinuity at the crack site in both open and closed crack configurations. It is recognized that the dynamics in these two mutually exclusive configurations are individually linear and support self-adjoint eigenvalue problems. However, the beam experiences the PWL character of the local stiffness at the crack site when it transits from one configuration to another. With this premise, a semi-analytical approach is evolved by invoking the expansion theorem in each of these configurations in terms of their respective orthonormal eigenfunctions. As the beam transits between the configurations governed by a switching condition, the displacement and velocity of the beam are matched at the very instant. The present study is quite unique in its semi-analytical approach based on the first principles, physical reasoning, mathematical validity and the generality that it provides for further investigation. We present interesting results emerging in the free vibrations exhibiting energy exchange between non-closely spaced modes. Whereas, the forced vibrations exhibit resonance close to the ith PWL frequency, defined in terms of the ith eigenfrequencies of both configurations. Finally, a method based on the canonical Action-Angle (A-A) variables and the method of averaging is devised to study the forced vibrations of the cracked beam by deriving an averaged slow-flow model. We present the comparative results and discuss the limitations of some of these approaches in the study of such dynamical systems.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of wild-type rubella virus (genotype 2B) granuloma in a 29-year-old immunocompromised patient with a full vaccination scheme. He had been followed since his early teens for an unlabeled systemic inflammatory disease. On an inguinal node biopsy, histological analysis revealed a nguudiffuse non-necrotic granulomatous inflammation with no identified conventional infectious agent involved in granuloma formation. Further virological investigation revealed rubella virus (RuV) RNA detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Wild-type viral RNA persistence was documented in plasma samples collected up to 25 months after initial detection and also in different sequential biological samples (cerebrospinal fluid and nasopharyngeal swab). In the context of incomplete rubella eradication, RuV must be added to the list of potential triggers of chronic granuloma in immunodeficient patients.

IMPORTANCE
Rubella has become rare but has not yet disappeared. Rubella virus (RuV) must be added to the list of potential triggers of granuloma, particularly in immunodeficient patients. Diagnosis of RuV granulomas requires molecular testing of biopsy. RuV sequencing distinguishes between wild-type and vaccine-derived viruses and enables epidemiological surveillance.

Published: January 2025

Congenital coalitions are defined as abnormal osseous or fibrocartilaginous bridges between two bones due to failure of embryonic segmentation. In the foot, tarsal bone coalitions are commonly seen, but intermetatarsal coalition is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported in literature to date. We report a case of a unilateral, congenital metatarsal coalition between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones in a kid in his middle childhood, who presented with unilateral chronic forefoot pain on activity with keratosis under the fifth metatarsal head.A thorough history with clinical examination revealed a deformed, plantar flexed fifth toe with callosity formation under the head of the fifth metatarsal head. Further radiographs revealed a bony coalition between the fourth and fifth metatarsal base with a subtle cavus foot and markedly increased fifth ray declination angle. A corrective proximal oblique osteotomy was done at the fifth metatarsal base and held with Kirschner wires (K-wires) and the limb was immobilised for a period of 6 weeks. The patient followed up with serial radiograph examinations and at the end of 6 weeks, K-wires were removed and repeat weight-bearing views were taken and evaluated.After the surgical intervention, there is symptomatic relief in pain as well as a reduction in the callosity and deformity.Intermetatarsal coalition is a very rare condition. The definitive management for symptomatic cases is corrective surgery to achieve normal biomechanics in the foot as well as pain-free weight bearing. Proximal osteotomy at the fifth metatarsal base gave excellent results in our patient.

AimsTo identify factors contributing to rapid axial length (AL) growth in children aged 3–9 years.MethodsFour thousand four hundred thirty-five children were followed from 2019 to 2022. AL and corneal curvature were measured using an IOLMaster 500, while refractometry and visual acuity were also assessed. Baseline data included demographics and parental myopia status, with annual updates on height, weight and behavioural factors. Latent class growth model was used to discover AL trajectories, whereas multiple logistic regression was used to identify determinants of rapid AL elongation.ResultsFor all participants, baseline age and parental myopia influenced AL growth. Specifically, children aged 3–6 years exhibited faster AL elongation when engaging in persistent excessive homework time (OR, 2.86, 95% CI 1.31 to 6.95) and near-work activities (OR, 2.13, 95% CI 1.12 to 4.10). For the 7–9-year group, the risk factors of rapid AL growth included being female (OR, 2.05, 95% CI 1.45 to 2.90) and need myopia correction at baseline (OR, 3.19, 95% CI 2.02 to 5.02). Notably, actively engaging in outdoor activities had a protective effect in the 7–9-year group (OR, 0.65, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.97).ConclusionsThis study delineates AL growth trajectories in children aged 3–9 years and highlights distinct risk factors for rapid AL growth. These findings underscore the necessity of implementing age-specific strategies for myopia prevention and control.

IntroductionEssential newborn care (ENBC) practices are recommended for all births to improve neonatal survival. This paper aims to understand the facility-level variations and factors associated with the essential newborn care practices by providers in higher-level public health facilities in 25 high priority districts (HPDs) of Uttar Pradesh (UP).MethodsWe used observational cross-sectional quantitative data from 48 selected public health facilities (23 district hospitals (DH) and 25 community health centres (CHC)—first referral units (FRU)) implemented in 25 HPDs of UP from February 2020 to May 2021. We defined ENBC practice as both cord care and initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth were practiced in normal deliveries by the staff nurse. Descriptive analysis was done based on data from 2603 newborns attended by 318 providers. A stratified analysis was done by DH and CHC-FRU.ResultsOverall, essential newborn care was practiced among 26.1% of the newborns (26.2% in DH and 35.0% in CHC-FRU). The ENBC practice varied across facilities from 3.0% to 64.1% in DH and from 0% to 91.0% in CHC-FRU. The ENBC practice was about 2.3 times higher in facilities with a high level of skill and knowledge of the providers (39.0%) compared with the facilities with a low level of skill and knowledge (16.9%). Similar patterns of association between providers’ skills and knowledge of ENBC practices were observed in DH and CHC-FRU.ConclusionSkill and knowledge on ENBC components are significantly associated with the clinical practices of providers, with a high level of variability across facilities. This suggests a focused facility-based assessment and enhancement of the clinical competencies of the providers to improve the quality of care in public health facilities in UP.
