AbstractObjectiveStandardised person‐reported outcomes (PRO) data can contextualise clinical outcomes enabling precision diabetes monitoring and care. Comprehensive outcome sets can guide this process, but their implementation in routine diabetes care has remained challenging and unsuccessful at international level. We aimed to address this by developing a person‐centred outcome set for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, using a methodology with prospects for increased implementability and sustainability in international health settings.MethodsWe used a three‐round questionnaire‐based Delphi study to reach consensus on the outcome set. We invited key stakeholders from 19 countries via purposive snowball sampling, namely people with diabetes (N = 94), healthcare professionals (N = 65), industry (N = 22) and health authorities (N = 3), to vote on the relevance and measurement frequency of 64 previously identified clinical and person‐reported outcomes. Subsequent consensus meetings concluded the study.ResultsThe list of preliminary outcomes was shortlisted via the consensus process to 46 outcomes (27 clinical outcomes and 19 PROs). Two main collection times were recommended: (1) linked to a medical visit (e.g. diabetes‐specific well‐being, symptoms and psychological health) and (2) annually (e.g. clinical data, general well‐being and diabetes self management‐related outcomes).ConclusionsPROs are often considered in a non‐standardised way in routine diabetes care. We propose a person‐centred outcome set for diabetes, specifically considering psychosocial and behavioural aspects, which was agreed by four international key stakeholder groups. It guides standardised collection of meaningful outcomes at scale, supporting individual and population level healthcare decision making. It will be implemented and tested in Europe as part of the H2O project.

AbstractIn response to the low separation efficiency of actinide nuclide (An) and fission product (FP) in the separation process of high‐level radioactive waste, as well as the large amount of secondary waste. A novel Ln(1‐x)SrxZrO(3.5‐0.5x) (0 ≤ x ≤1) multiphase ceramic waste form (Nd3+ simulating An3+), which can cure both An and Sr simultaneously, was in‐situ synthesized by sol‐gel spray pyrolysis method. The series of multiphase ceramics are composed of cubic pyrochlore phase Nd2Zr2O7 (NZO) and orthorhombic perovskite phase SrZrO3 (SZO), without any accompanying impurities. The two phases exhibit excellent compatibility, and their content can change regularly with the change of x. Nd and Sr occupy their most stable crystal lattice positions, with low transposition doping levels. The density of the composite ceramics is high, and the measured density is as high as 88 % of the theoretical density. The above experimental results confirm that the new multiphase ceramics can cure An and Sr simultaneously and separately, showing strong adaptability to waste components and high chemical stability.

Published: November 2023

AbstractTwo kinds of novel modified C/C‐SiC‐ZrC composites were prepared via precursor infiltration and pyrolysis, as pyrocarbon (PyC)/silicon carbide (SiC) and PyC/boron nitride (BN) dual‐layer interphases were separately structured on the fibers by means of chemical vapor infiltration. Data analysis and conclusions are served for investigating the effects of these two interface layers on mechanical and anti‐ablative properties. On the mechanical property hand, both PyC/BN and PyC/SiC interphase layers play positive roles, resting with the reduction of fiber damage during the fabrication process. Compared with BN, SiC shows better enhancement as the flexural strength of PyC/BN and PyC/SiC interphase‐modified composites are 214.9 and 229.2 MPa, respectively. On the ablative property hand, after oxyacetylene flame ablation for 60 s, the mass and linear ablation rates of the composites modified by PyC/SiC interface were 2.2 mg/s and 9.7 μm/s, which is much lower than that modified by PyC/BN. The inferior ablation properties of PyC/BN‐CSZ were attributed to the vaporization of the B2O3 gas that destroys the integrity of the oxide film and oxygen erosion on the substrate through the damaged BN interface.

AbstractThis review aims to highlight the diverse skin manifestations in children and adolescents with COVID induced multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C). The symptoms of COVID‐19 can vary greatly in severity between different age groups. Although most children infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 experience either no symptoms or only mild symptoms, some reported cases of severely affected children with a clinical presentation similar to incomplete Kawasaki disease have led to the definition of a new condition called MIS‐C. MIS‐C can involve multiple organs, including the skin, and may pose a life‐threatening risk to affected children. Such cases highlight the need for continuous research into the possible skin manifestations associated with COVID‐19 in pediatric populations to aid in early diagnosis and prompt treatment. We conducted a search of PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases for studies published up until October 1, 2022. Three reviewers independently examined each study, and a fourth reviewer resolved any disagreements. A narrative review of all relevant papers was conducted. We present an overview of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the various skin manifestations in children and adolescents with COVID‐19 or MIS‐C. The skin manifestations of COVID‐19 and MIS‐C can be diverse and are frequently overlooked. It is important to conduct further research to better understand the impact of this disease on children to provide appropriate care for these at‐risk populations.
‘Social compliance decoupling cascades’ in global supply chains: A review of the implementation of labour codes
Authors: Cao Yinyin , Jayasinghe Mevan 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAcross global supply chains, buyers enforce labour codes as a primary mechanism for ensuring suppliers’ social compliance with international labour standards and rights for workers in supplier facilities. Yet researchers have long documented empirical evidence of the inconsistent, weak implementation of labour codes. Therefore, the effective use of this social compliance mechanism requires examining what causes supply chain actors to exhibit failures in substantively implementing labour codes, or ‘social compliance decoupling’. We conducted the first systematic review of all available empirical evidence, both qualitative and quantitative, on the implementation of labour codes by actors at different stages of the supply chain, to identify and catalogue the root causes of social compliance decoupling. By integrating our findings, we propose a conceptual framework on ‘social compliance decoupling cascades’ that illustrates the causes of social compliance decoupling by supply chain actors at different stages and explains three pathways through which decoupling by an actor translates into decoupling by one or more adjacent actors (‘rewards–rights trade‐off’, ‘compliance capital scarcity’ and ‘code acontextuality’). We recommend opportunities for research and best practice around the recoupling of social compliance through multi‐stakeholder collaboration, mutual investment, relational sourcing and expansion of the scope of global supply chain social responsibility to drive effective labour code implementation.
The Kingdom of God and the Transformation of the World
Authors: Pillay Jerry 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe article explores how pivotal the kingdom of God has been and still is to the identity of the ecumenical movement. The discussion of the biblical vision of the kingdom, which is coming and yet is also present, offers a motif which not only forms the life of the church and gives it hope but also forms the life of the oikoumene, giving hope to all of life. The ensuing discussion shows how, historically, the ecumenical movement has practised its calling of unity and mission as one which offers salvation to all life and to all aspects of life and goes on to outline how the kingdom continues to inspire ecumenical engagement today. Fundamental to this is the realization that the kingdom lays claim not on the church but on the whole world. This turns the ecumenical movement away from self‐service so that the life of the world is shifted, challenged, and transformed through the work and witness of the ecumenical movement. This is especially and urgently needed where the powers, systems, and structures of our world cause injustice, inequity, and catastrophe. In this mission ecumenism reaches its fullest unity, in which all are saved.
A new hybrid method for quick and accurate calculation of forest transportation distances

Published: November 2023

AbstractTransportation is a key forest logistics component and is a large proportion of the overall cost. Often, the transportation cost is determined by contractual agreements and based on the loaded distance from a supply to a demand point. Many alternative routes provide different distances (e.g., shortest route, fastest route, minimum fuel consumption), but these distances are approximate in the contractual agreement; hence, there is a mismatch between approximated costs and actual pay. It is necessary to match supply with demand when planning to use optimization models, as these models must cover many supply and demand points. From this point, many distances need to be established. These can be generated dynamically before optimization or generated a priori as static distance tables. The former can take a long time, whereas the latter needs to use aggregated zones that remain static over time because supply points, such as harvest areas, change continually. To enable fast optimization, distances between zones and demand points can be precomputed; however, they represent only estimated distances between the actual supply point and the demand points. We propose a hybrid method to improve quality and estimate accurate distances in a quick process, using a large case study from a company in Sweden with a standardized system that directly uses computed reference distances as contractually agreed. Results show that many distance estimation approaches give poor cost estimates (1–20%) and increase transportation costs (0.2–0.6%).

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundTele‐collaborative projects serve as invaluable platforms for students from diverse countries to engage in cross‐cultural communication and exchange cultural knowledge. These projects offer immense benefits in terms of fostering intercultural competence among participants. However, one challenge arises when participants engage in spoken communication rather than written. Those who may not share a common first language often rely on a lingua franca such as English for intercultural communication. In such spoken exchanges, varying levels of language proficiency can lead to communication errors that hinder the intercultural learning process and impede the development of intercultural competence in their fellow participants.ObjectivesIn the present trial study, our primary objective was to tackle the language‐related challenge associated with spoken communication head‐on. Our focus centred on addressing the discrepancies arising in spoken communication, and we aimed to mitigate these discrepancies by utilizing speech‐enabled corrective feedback technology.MethodsIn a tele‐collaborative project involving 28 graduate students from the People's Republic of China and Republic of Kazakhstan, the participants engaged in spoken communication and cultural exchange in English via the internet. Given the emphasis on spoken communication and the recognition that English was not their first language, we implemented a speech‐enabled corrective feedback (SECF) technology to ensure effective communication in terms of pronunciation, grammar, and word choice. The SECF technology detected and provided instant feedback on any speech mistakes, enabling participants to make corrections accordingly. The main aim of our study was to explore the potential benefits of integrating SECF technology into a tele‐collaborative project for the development of participants' intercultural competence. Additionally, we sought to gather insights into the students' perceptions of the SECF support.Results and ConclusionsThe results of our study revealed significant improvements in the participants' intercultural competence across dimensions such as knowledge, skills, attitude, and awareness. Furthermore, the participants expressed positive perceptions of the SECF technology. Drawing from our findings, we offer valuable implications and recommendations for educators and researchers in the field, enhancing their understanding of the role of SECF technology in supporting intercultural competence development in tele‐collaborative settings.

AbstractThe influence of colour background on the regulation of behavioural and physiological responses in zebrafish is widely recognized. However, its specific effect on virus infection in zebrafish remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the susceptibility of zebrafish to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) infection in relation to background colour, investigate the underlying mechanisms, and elucidate the involvement of key molecules, using proteomic and gene expression analyses. The results revealed that zebrafish housed in a blue tank exhibited higher survival rates and considerably reduced VHSV replication compared to those housed in a yellow tank. Further, up‐regulation of apolipoprotein 1 (APOA1) was identified as a crucial shared mechanism associated with survival in zebrafish exposed to VHSV infection and reared in a blue background. The mRNA expression level of bmal1a, a core gene involved in the circadian rhythm, was consistently downregulated in fish from the blue tank compared to fish from the yellow tank, regardless of infection status. Subsequently, zebrafish in the blue tank were exposed to daylight conditions to stimulate per2 and pgc1a expression, aiming to investigate their potential impact on VHSV infection. The validity of these interconnected events, triggered by background colour, involving APOA1 up‐regulation, circadian rhythm modulation, and antiviral responses, was confirmed by treatments with hesperetin and cyclosporine A, an activator and inhibitor of apoa1 respectively. Our findings revealed the influence of background colour on the apoa1 expression level, thus establishing the involvement of a novel network through circadian rhythm signalling.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundA new antioxidant serum has been formulated with sodium ascorbate, a sodium salt of Vit C, which aims to address facial photodamage while maintaining a low irritation profile and preserving elastin. Detailed background science has been submitted in a previous publication. This open‐label study was conducted to validate the science by demonstrating product efficacy and tolerability in patients with moderate to severe facial photodamage.MethodsA multicenter, open‐label clinical study was undertaken over 5 months from March 2023 to July 2023. Thirty six eligible participants (35 female, 1 male), aged 38–69 years, and Fitzpatrick skin types II–V were enrolled into and completed the study following 12 weeks of the topical antioxidant serum use twice daily, along with the following supporting products (gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen for as needed use). Follow‐up visits were conducted in Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. At every visit, participants were evaluated for facial photodamage severity and test product tolerability. Additionally, study participants underwent subject assessments and satisfaction questionnaires, investigator assessments, biopsy collection, and photography.ResultsSignificant improvements in all evaluated facial photodamage parameters were observed at 12 weeks together with excellent tolerability and subject satisfaction persisting to Week 12 at study completion. Histology most notably revealed increased elastin fibers in 5 out of 5 post 12‐week treatment biopsies on Movat staining, while Herovici stains revealed stimulation of collagen and early formation of new fibers.ConclusionA novel antioxidant serum has demonstrated to be safe and effective for addressing facial photodamage, while stimulating the production of both elastin and collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM).

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with burnout in Australian dental practitioners.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey of 1483 Australian dental practitioners was conducted from Oct to Dec 2021. Participants reported burnout using the Sydney Burnout Measure, and aspects of mental health including psychological distress, depression, and anxiety disorders. Predictors of burnout were explored using a generalized linear model with a stepped approach including demographic, health and risk factor variables.ResultsOne in four participants were classified as likely to be experiencing burnout. Burnout was associated with working in a regional/rural location (β = 2.82, p < 0.001), an academic/non‐clinical role (β = 5.01, p = 0.037), more years of experience as a dental practitioner (β = 0.08, p = 0.022), a current diagnosis of depression (β = 2.38, p = 0.049), moderate/severe psychological distress (β = 7.16, p < 0.001), poor self‐rated physical health (β = 5.84, p < 0.001) and increasing alcohol consumption (β = 0.17, p = 0.020). Participants who scored high on resilience (β = −0.23, p = 0.002) or perfectionism (β = −0.24, p < 0.001) had lower burnout scores.ConclusionAustralian dental practitioners appear to be at high risk of burnout which may impact on their health and wellbeing and ability to deliver patient care. There is a need for support services to manage burnout and education to address workplace and environmental factors that may contribute to burnout.
Comparative analysis of behavioural repertoires for Mahogany glider and Brushtail possum using accelerometer loggers and machine learning algorithms

Published: November 2023

AbstractGliding has evolved independently as an isolated adaptive event within many vertebrate taxa. Yet, the underlying selection forces that led to these innovative adaptations remain ambiguous, especially in species that preclude direct observation. Our study utilized accelerometry and machine learning algorithms to compare the behavioural repertoires of two sympatric species, the Mahogany glider (Petaurus gracilis) and brushtail possum (Trichosaurus vulpecula), as to explore previously proposed selection pressures such as energy expenditure (VeBA), canopy use and ground avoidance measured by activity budgets. We found that mahogany gliders on average expend more activity‐related energy than brushtail possums but at different stages throughout the day. Canopy use was observed to be greater amongst mahogany gliders than brushtail possums, and we observed frequent ground use in brushtail possums yet none in mahogany gliders. The study found strong evidence to support ground avoidance as a potential driver for gliding evolution. The implications of these findings are important when considering the lack of knowledge surrounding evolved gliding behaviours in marsupials. Furthermore, the use of accelerometers and machine learning algorithms in behavioural studies has proven to be a robust and informative method and should be incorporated into future studies to understand the evolution of gliding behaviour.
Using shared experiences to recruit committed human intelligence sources: Exploring the shared attention mechanism and the role of social connection
Authors: Neequaye David A. , Granhag Pär Anders 
Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectivesWe examined the possibility of using shared experiences to recruit human intelligence (HUMINT) sources. The research was based on two hypotheses. (a) Shared experiences amplify interpersonal affiliation, which increases the extent to which sources will commit to an intelligence arrangement. (b) The social connection opportunity shared experiences afford is what increases such commitment.MethodsParticipants assumed the role of a source meeting a potential handler, a police officer, to discuss an arrangement whereby they might supply intelligence. We manipulated shared experience via the meeting's setting. Half of the participants underwent a shared experience to facilitate interpersonal affiliation with the handler, and the other half did not undergo such an experience. The handler used one of two approaches to propose the arrangement. One approach afforded a social connection opportunity, and the other constrained the possibility of a social connection in the arrangement.ResultsThe findings indicated that shared experiences can have interpersonal influence. The shared experience operationalization positively influenced felt closeness and social connection affordance. However, there was little indication that handlers could capitalize on shared experience to bolster commitment.
