AbstractBackgroundSupporting those living with and beyond cancer to self‐manage their health can optimise health‐related quality of life and reduce symptom burden. Self‐management support (SMS) programmes have been shown to be effective, but uptake is often low. This qualitative study aimed to identify experienced and perceived enablers and barriers to accessing SMS services among those who had completed primary cancer treatment and were living with and beyond cancer.MethodsParticipants were recruited through social media and cancer advocacy groups. Semi‐structured telephone and online interviews were conducted. Transcripts were coded inductively based on participants' reported experiences. Statements related to factors that enable or inhibit access to SMS were then mapped to the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).ResultsTwenty‐six people participated. Six themes explain the factors that act as barriers and enablers which mapped to 11 TDF domains. Lack of knowledge of available SMS was a prominent barrier, as well as inaccessible services due to timing and place of delivery. Lack of confidence and emotional factors including fear were barriers to seeking SMS. Social influences shaped knowledge, attitudes and readiness to access SMS. Perceptions of SMS service goals and if in alignment with self‐identity, intentions and goals also shaped decisions around accessing support.ConclusionsWhile lack of knowledge and provider signposting were common barriers, findings suggest that other psychosocial and emotional factors may be barriers, even if SMS services are accessible. Findings are relevant for oncology healthcare services developing strategies to increase reach of SMS for those living with and beyond cancer.

Published: December 2023

AbstractCucurbit[7]uril (CB7), a supramolecular host, is employed to control the pathway of photolysis of an aryl azide in an aqueous medium. Normally, photolysis of aryl azides in bulk water culminates predominantly in the formation of azepine derivatives via intramolecular rearrangement. Remarkably, however, when this process unfolds within the protective confinement of the CB7 cavity, it results in a carboline derivative, as a consequence of a C─H amination reaction. The resulting carboline caged by CB7 reveals long‐lived room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the solid state, with lifetimes extending up to 2.1 s. These findings underscore the potential of supramolecular hosts to modulate the photolysis of aryl azides and to facilitate novel phosphorescent materials.

AbstractSolid‐state batteries have the potential to replace the current generation of liquid electrolyte batteries. However, the major limitation resulting from their solid‐state architecture is the gradual loss of ionic conductivity due to the loss of physical contact between the individual battery components during charging/discharging. This is mainly due to mechanical stresses caused by volume changes in the cathode and anode during lithiation and delithiation. To date, limited research has been devoted to understanding the spatio‐temporal distribution of stresses during battery operation. Here, operando scanning high‐energy X‐ray diffraction to quantify cross‐sectional axial stresses with a spatial resolution of 10 µm is used. It is shown how a non‐monotonous stress distribution evolves over time during the cycling of the solid‐state battery. In addition, degradation of the solid‐state electrolyte in the vicinity of the lithium anode is observed and tracked periodic changes in the unit cell volume in the cathode. The presented methodology of tracking the chemo‐mechanically induced stresses and interface morphology in real time in correlation with other battery parameters is believed, can provide a valuable platform for the future optimization of solid‐state batteries.

AbstractBioinspired two‐dimensional (2D) nanofluidic systems for photo‐induced ion transport have attracted great attention, as they open a new pathway to enabling light‐to‐ionic energy conversion. However, there is still a great challenge in achieving a satisfactory performance. It is noticed that organic solar cells (OSCs, light‐harvesting device based on photovoltaic effect) commonly require hole/electron transport layer materials (TLMs), PEDOT:PSS (PE) and PDINN (PD), respectively, to promote the energy conversion. Inspired by such a strategy, an artificial proton pump by coupling a nanofluidic system with TLMs is proposed, in which the PE‐ and PD‐functionalized tungsten disulfide (WS2) multilayers construct a heterogeneous membrane, realizing an excellent output power of ≈1.13 nW. The proton transport is fine‐regulated due to the TLMs‐engineered band structure of WS2. Clearly, the incorporating TLMs of OSCs into 2D nanofluidic systems offers a feasible and promising approach for band edge engineering and promoting the light‐to‐ionic energy conversion.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe advancements in computing and storage capabilities of machines and their fusion with new technologies like the Internet of Thing (IoT), 5G networks, and artificial intelligence, to name a few, has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way computing is done in a cloud environment. In addition, the ever‐increasing user demand for cloud services and resources has resulted in cloud service providers (CSPs) expanding the scale of their data center facilities. This has increased energy consumption leading to more carbon dioxide emission levels. Hence, it becomes all the more important to design scheduling algorithms that optimize the use of cloud resources with minimum energy consumption. This paper surveys state‐of‐the‐art algorithms for scheduling workflow tasks to cloud resources with a focus on reducing energy consumption. For this, we categorize different workflow scheduling algorithms based on the scheduling approaches used and provide an analytical discussion of the algorithms covered in the paper. Further, we provide a detailed classification of different energy‐efficient strategies used by CSPs for energy saving in data centers. Finally, we describe some of the popular real‐world workflow applications as well as highlight important emerging trends and open issues in cloud computing for future research directions.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe objective of this study is to investigate the spatial distribution of municipal waste production and its impact on urban environmental sustainability in greater Amman. The GIS techniques were used to analyze the distribution pattern within the municipality regions and the factors that affect this pattern. The analysis shows that the presence of a positive correlation is significant at a 0.01 confidence level between the population size, and education level type graduate, postgraduate, and read and write with 0.888, 0.754, and 0.687, respectively. There is an obvious positive relationship between the income level and waste production, and this is shown clearly in the Western part of Amman. On the other hand, the low‐income level in the Eastern part of Amman has resulted in a lower amount of municipal solid waste production. The amount of waste generated in the city of Amman represents a significant increase in the rates of municipal solid waste production, rising from 0.77 kg per capita per day in 2007 to 0.84 kg per capita per day over the past 15 years. The increase in economic and commercial activities in some regions has played the main role in increasing the quantities of solid waste produced in the central business regions. This result provides a better vision for the environmental management planners and decision‐makers regarding solid waste production management in Amman municipality.
Splenic artery embolisation for splenic injury during colonoscopy: A systematic review
Authors: Lukies Matthew , Clements Warren 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundSplenic injury due to colonoscopy is rare, but has high mortality. While historically treated conservatively for low‐grade injuries or with splenectomy for high‐grade injuries, splenic artery embolisation is increasingly utilised, reflecting modern treatment guidelines for external blunt trauma. This systematic review evaluates outcomes of published cases of splenic injury due to colonoscopy treated with splenic artery embolisation.MethodsA systematic review was performed of published articles concerning splenic injury during colonoscopy treated primarily with splenic artery embolisation, splenectomy, or splenorrhaphy from 1977 to 2022. Datapoints included demographics, past surgical history, indication for colonoscopy, delay to diagnosis, treatment, grade of injury, splenic artery embolisation location, splenic preservation (salvage), and mortality.ResultsThe 30 patients treated with splenic artery embolisation were of mean age 65 (SD 9) years and 67% female, with 83% avoiding splenectomy and 6.7% mortality. Splenic artery embolisation was proximal to the splenic hilum in 81%. The 163 patients treated with splenectomy were of mean age 65 (SD 11) years and 66% female, with 5.5% mortality. Three patients treated with splenorrhaphy of median age 60 (range 59–70) years all avoided splenectomy with no mortality. There was no difference in mortality between splenic artery embolisation and splenectomy cohorts (p = 0.81).ConclusionsSplenic artery embolisation is an effective treatment option in splenic injury due to colonoscopy. Given the known benefits of splenic salvage compared to splenectomy, including preserved immune function against encapsulated organisms, low cost, and shorter hospital length of stay, embolisation should be incorporated into treatment pathways for splenic injury due to colonoscopy in suitable patients.
The cognitive neuroscience of self‐awareness: Current framework, clinical implications, and future research directions

Published: December 2023

AbstractSelf‐awareness, the ability to take oneself as the object of awareness, has been an enigma for our species, with different answers to this question being provided by religion, philosophy, and, more recently, science. The current review aims to discuss the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying self‐awareness. The multidimensional nature of self‐awareness will be explored, suggesting how it can be thought of as an emergent property observed in different cognitive complexity levels, within a predictive coding approach. A presentation of alterations of self‐awareness in neuropsychiatric conditions will ground a discussion on alternative frameworks to understand this phenomenon, in health and psychopathology, with future research directions being indicated to fill current gaps in the literature.This article is categorized under:

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundOroantral fistula (OAF) is a pathological channel formed between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. A large size of OAF (≥5 mm) increases the risk of surgical failure, and an optimal surgical approach should be cautiously selected.ObjectiveThis study aims to characterize the application of nasal endoscopy and buccal fat pad (BFP) flaps to repair large OAFs in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS).MethodsA total of 32 patients with large OAF combined with OMS after dental extraction who were treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Nanjing Renpin ENT Hospital from 2018 to 2022, were retrospectively recruited. A thorough preoperative evaluation was performed and all patients were first treated with nasal endoscopy, followed by the repair of OAFs using BFP flaps under general anesthesia. The cure rate and postoperative pain score were used as outcome indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure.ResultsAll patients completed a 12‐month follow‐up. The results showed that OFAs were cured in 25 (32 in total, 78.1%) patients by the second postoperative week. OFAs were healed in all patients at week 8 postoperatively. OMS was healed in 25 (32 in total, 78.1%) patients at the first postoperative week and all patients were healed by the disappearance of symptoms associated with OMS at week 8 postoperatively. At the second postoperative week, complete relief of pain symptoms was obtained in 18 (32 in total, 56.3%) patients (visual analog scale = 0 score), in 25 (32 in total, 78.1%) patients at the fourth postoperative week, and by the eighth postoperative week, all patients had complete resolution of pain symptoms.ConclusionsSecondary maxillary sinusitis is not a contraindication to the treatment of large OAFs. Large OAFs can be effectively closed using BFP flaps combined with endoscopic maxillary sinus drainage.

Published: December 2023

AbstractA new compact micro‐x‐ray fluorescence (μ‐XRF) spectrometer covering wide range of elements was developed and fabricated. The working capabilities of this new compact custom‐made μ‐XRF spectrometer are presented. The spectrometer uses a low power Rh target x‐ray tube for sample excitation. Polycapillary optics focuses the polychromatic beam down to 40 μm. The emitted radiation is measured by a peltier cooled silicon drift detector of 30 mm2 crystal size. It was observed that the polychromatic excitation provides sufficient photons for an efficient excitation of the sample to achieve good detection limit and area resolution. The detection limits are comparable with that one obtained by TXRF for a thin film sample. The advantage of the present setup, is the fact that it is suitable for specific applications for example, for radioactive and toxic samples requiring instrument adoption in glove boxes or fume hoods because of its good analytical features accompanied by simple and compact instrumentation.
A tale of four studios: Evolving planning and architecture education towards mixed modality in a post-pandemic world

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic imposed urgent challenges for educational institutions. The sudden shift from on-site teaching to online distance learning offered the possibility to examine new settings of the studio, a core element of planning and architecture education. Although the pandemic is now over, online learning has secured a fixed place in university education, and consequently, educational institutions need to reconsider studio education based on the lessons learned during the pandemic. Through studying four studios taught at Aalto University, Finland, in 2020 and 2021, this article examines student-teacher experiences, and proposes opportunities for evolving studio education. The findings show that distance learning has in general sustained the objectives of studio education. However, challenges remain especially regarding the social aspects of learning. The degree of success of online teaching varied greatly depending on the tasks and the orientation of the studio (design or strategy). Technological aids and devices also had an influence on fulfilling the pedagogical objectives of learning. Professional socialization was highly affected by the online environment both in design and planning studios and the architectural representation witnessed difficulties specifically in design studios. To evolve the studio setting, the article suggests a mixed modality model supporting the social dimension of studio teaching by combining on-site and online learning activities to enrich the learning process. Such a model can harmonize the intended learning objectives and activities with the teaching methods and modality, thus improving the social dimension of studio teaching.

Published: December 2023

AbstractCongress has provided funding for the federal Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program since 2009 for spending beginning in Fiscal Year 2010. Designated TPP programs develop, test, and evaluate innovations for reducing teen pregnancy, teen pregnancy disparities, and associated risk factors and for promoting positive youth development. Since its inception, the TPP Program has experimented with multiple uniquely structured cohorts of innovation and demonstration projects, producing critical insights into equitable and effective public health innovation while also serving as a highly productive contributor of evidence-based, TPP innovations for scale. This article briefly documents the innovation history of the TPP Program and its iterations in response to the shifting needs of the field. We then synthesize findings from the fifteen TPP innovators published in this special edition. We highlight emergent priorities of the TPP Program informed by this federal experiment in rigorous adolescent sexual health innovation development, testing, evaluation, and scaling and conclude by discussing how the TPP program adapted and refined its approach for fostering dynamic innovation-to-scale projects over time.
Variational inference for semiparametric Bayesian novelty detection in large datasets
Authors: Benedetti Luca , Boniardi Eric , Chiani Leonardo , Ghirri Jacopo , Mastropietro Marta , Cappozzo Andrea , Denti Francesco 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAfter being trained on a fully-labeled training set, where the observations are grouped into a certain number of known classes, novelty detection methods aim to classify the instances of an unlabeled test set while allowing for the presence of previously unseen classes. These models are valuable in many areas, ranging from social network and food adulteration analyses to biology, where an evolving population may be present. In this paper, we focus on a two-stage Bayesian semiparametric novelty detector, also known as Brand, recently introduced in the literature. Leveraging on a model-based mixture representation, Brand allows clustering the test observations into known training terms or a single novelty term. Furthermore, the novelty term is modeled with a Dirichlet Process mixture model to flexibly capture any departure from the known patterns. Brand was originally estimated using MCMC schemes, which are prohibitively costly when applied to high-dimensional data. To scale up Brand applicability to large datasets, we propose to resort to a variational Bayes approach, providing an efficient algorithm for posterior approximation. We demonstrate a significant gain in efficiency and excellent classification performance with thorough simulation studies. Finally, to showcase its applicability, we perform a novelty detection analysis using the openly-available dataset, a large collection of satellite imaging spectra, to search for novel soil types.
Islamic Perspectives on Polygenic Testing and Selection of IVF Embryos (PGT-P) for Optimal Intelligence and Other Non–Disease-Related Socially Desirable Traits

Published: December 2023

AbstractIn recent years, the genetic testing and selection of IVF embryos, known as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), has gained much traction in clinical assisted reproduction for preventing transmission of genetic defects. However, a more recent ethically and morally controversial development in PGT is its possible use in selecting IVF embryos for optimal intelligence quotient (IQ) and other non–disease-related socially desirable traits, such as tallness, fair complexion, athletic ability, and eye and hair colour, based on polygenic risk scores (PRS), in what is referred to as PGT-P. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning–based analysis of big data sets collated from genome sequencing of specific human ethnic populations can be used to estimate an individual embryo’s likelihood of developing such multifactorial traits by analysing the combination of specific genetic variants within its genome. Superficially, this technique appears compliant with Islamic principles and ethics. Because there is no modification of the human genome, there is no tampering with Allah’s creation (taghyīr khalq Allah). Nevertheless, a more critical analysis based on the five maxims of Islamic jurisprudence (qawa'id fiqhiyyah) that are often utilized in discourses on Islamic bioethics, namely qaṣd (intention), yaqın̄ (certainty), ḍarar (injury), ḍarūra (necessity), and `urf (custom), would instead reveal some major ethical and moral flaws of this new medical technology in the selection of non–disease-related socially desirable traits, and its non-compliance with the spirit and essence of Islamic law (shariah). Muslim scholars, jurists, doctors, and biomedical scientists should debate this further and issue a fatwa on this new medical technology platform.

Authors: Schütt Katharina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
The following overview article summarizes the most important aspects of diagnosis and screening and provides an overview on the current evidence of glucose-lowering and heart failure treatment in patients with diabetes.

Recent Findings
Patients with diabetes exhibit an increased risk to develop heart failure and the presence of both comorbidities has a major impact on the prognosis of these patients. Thus, it is of utmost importance to detect heart failure in patients with diabetes and to screen all patients with heart failure for the presence of diabetes. Moreover, the diagnosis of heart failure in diabetes often requires an adjustment of medical therapy.

Summary
The presence of the 2 comorbidities, heart failure and diabetes, in a given patient which has a major impact on the prognosis and implementation of guideline-directed therapies to reduce cardiovascular risk in this high-risk population is of critical importance.
