ABSTRACT

Purpose
Advanced insight in energy requirements of Paralympic athletes is imperative for optimizing their nutritional counseling. Given the lack of accurate data on total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) of Paralympic athletes, this study aimed to assess energy expenditure and nutritional intake of a large cohort of Paralympic athletes, across different sports and disabilities.

Methods
In this cross-sectional study, 48 Dutch and Norwegian Paralympic athletes (19 male/29 female) with various disabilities, competing in Para cycling, wheelchair tennis, wheelchair basketball, Para Nordic skiing, and alpine skiing participated. TDEE was assessed by the gold standard doubly labeled water method over a 14-d period, resting metabolic rate by ventilated hood indirect calorimetry, energy intake by three unannounced 24-h dietary recalls, body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and exercise training duration by a training log.

Results
Mean TDEE was 2908 ± 797 kcal·d−1, ranging from 2322 ± 340 kcal·d−1 for wheelchair basketball players to 3607 ± 1001 kcal·d−1 for Para cyclists. Regression analysis identified fat-free mass, exercise duration, and the presence of a spinal cord disorder as the primary predictors of TDEE, explaining up to 73% of the variance in TDEE. Athletes’ energy intake (2363 ± 905 kcal·d−1) was below their TDEE, whereas their body mass remained constant, indicating underreporting. Carbohydrate intake (4.1 ± 1.9 g·kg−1 body mass) was low, even when considering underreporting, whereas protein intake (1.8 ± 0.6 g·kg−1 body mass) was relatively high.

Conclusions
Paralympic athletes display moderate- to high-energy expenditure, varying across sports and individuals. Much of the variation in TDEE can be attributed to individual differences in fat-free mass and exercise duration. This study establishes the benchmarks for energy requirements of Paralympic athletes, serving as the foundation for future dietary guidelines within this population.
Thompson Sampling-Based Partially Observable Online Change Detection for Exponential Families
Authors: Guo Jie , Yan Hao , Zhang Chen 
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a holistic sequential change detection framework for partially observable high-dimensional data streams with exponential-family distributions. The framework first proposes a general composite decomposition for exponential-family distributed data by projecting its natural parameter onto normal bases and abnormal bases, which enables efficient inference for sparse changes. Then, the inference results are used for detection scheme construction, and different types of test statistics can be compacted in our framework. Last, by further designing the test statistic as the reward function in the combinatorial multi-armed bandit problem, a Thompson sampling-based sensor allocation strategy is constructed to select the most anomalous variables. Theoretical properties of the detection framework are discussed. Finally, examples of Gaussian, Poisson, and binomial distributed data streams are given in numerical studies and case studies to evaluate the performance of our proposed method.

How Do Consumers Interact with Digital Expert Advice? Experimental Evidence from Health Insurance
Authors: Bundorf M. Kate , Polyakova Maria , Tai-Seale Ming 
Published: January 2024

Consumers increasingly use digital advice when making purchasing decisions. How do such tools change consumer behavior and what types of consumers are likely to use them? We examine these questions with a randomized controlled trial of digital expert advice in the context of prescription drug insurance. The intervention we study was effective at changing consumer choices. We propose that, conceptually, expert advice can affect consumer choices through two distinct channels: by updating consumer beliefs about product features (learning) and by influencing how much consumers value product features (interpretation). Using our trial data to estimate a model of consumer demand, we find that both channels are quantitatively important. Digital expert advice tools not only provide consumers with information, but also alter how consumers value product features. For example, consumers are willing to pay 14% less for a plan with the most popular brand and 37% less for an extra star rating when they incorporate digital expert advice on plan choice relative to only having information about product features. Further, we document substantial selection into the use of digital advice on two margins. Consumers who are inherently less active shoppers and those who we predict would have responded to advice more were less likely to demand it. Our results raise concerns regarding the ability of digital advice to alter consumer preferences as well as the distributional implications of greater access to digital expert advice.

Comparing easywrap with six other adjustable wraps for compression therapy in venous and lymphatic disease by variation in pressure, stiffness and elasticity
Authors: Phillips Natalie , Wright Tom 
Published: January 2024

Background: There is no clear guidance or comprehensive comparative evidence to help clinicians select between adjustable wraps for compression therapy. However, adjustable wraps could be compared with three metrics used for compression bandages: variation in pressure, stiffness and elasticity. Aims: To determine whether easywrap (Haddenham Healthcare) had lower standard deviation (SD) in lying pressure, greater static stiffness index (SSI) and/or a greater mean elongation ratio than six other adjustable wraps. Methods: In this preliminary exploratory study, seven adjustable wraps were tested in vivo 20 times each (140 tests in total), on 20 people (with a variable number of readings per participant), to give the SD in lying pressure and mean SSI. The same wraps were tested in vitro five times each to give the mean elongation ratio. Findings: Of all seven adjustable wraps, easywrap had the second lowest SD in lying pressure at 5.9 mmHg, compared with 8.9 mmHg overall; the highest mean SSI at 13.2 mmHg, compared with 9.5 mmHg overall; and the highest mean elongation ratio at 137.0%, compared with 107.1% overall. Conclusions: These metrics suggest that easywrap has clinical advantages over other adjustable wraps. A lower variation in lying pressure suggests more consistent application of pressures within intended therapeutic levels. Higher SSI indicates greater resistance to stretching, which is linked to improved venous function and oedema reduction. Higher elongation ratio demonstrates greater tensile strength, which should maintain therapeutic pressure for longer without readjustment.

We demonstrate a III-V-on-silicon-nitride mode-locked laser through the heterogeneous integration of a semiconductor optical amplifier on a passive silicon-nitride cavity using the technique of micro-transfer printing. In the initial phase of our study, we focus on optimizing the lasing wavelength to be centered at 1550 nm. This optimization is achieved by conducting experiments with 27 mode-locked lasers, each incorporating optical amplifiers featuring distinct multiple-quantum-well photoluminescence values. Subsequently we present a comprehensive study investigating the behavior of the mode-locking regime when the electrical driving parameters are varied. Specifically, we explore the impact of the gain voltage and saturable absorber current on the locking stability of a tunable mode-locked laser. By manipulating these parameters, we demonstrate the precise control of the optical spectrum across a wide range of wavelengths spanning from 1530 to 1580 nm. Furthermore, we implement an optimization approach based on a Monte Carlo analysis aimed at enhancing the mode overlap within the gain region. This adjustment enables the achievement of a laser emitting a 23-nm-wide spectrum while maintaining a defined 10 dB bandwidth for a pulse repetition rate of 3 GHz.

Published: January 2024

Optical computing has shown immense application prospects in the post-Moore era. However, as a crucial component of logic computing, the digital multiplier can only be realized on a small scale in optics, restrained by the limited functionalities and inevitable loss of optical nonlinearity. In this paper, we propose a time-space multiplexed architecture to realize large-scale photonic-electronic digital multiplication. We experimentally demonstrate an 8×2-bit photonic-electronic digital multiplier, and the multiplication with a 32-bit number is further executed at 25 Mbit/s to demonstrate its extensibility and functionality. Moreover, the proposed architecture has the potential for on-chip implementation, and a feasible integration scheme is provided. We believe the time-space multiplexed photonic-electronic digital multiplier will open up a promising avenue for large-scale photonic digital computing.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is widely used in biotechnology due to its excellent biocompatibility, high temperature and pressure resistance, and outstanding mechanical properties. However, the hydrophobic nature of PVDF surface hinders the attachment of biological proteins. In order to enhance the wettability of PVDF surfaces, this study prepared composite films by blending PVDF with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and micro-patterned structures were fabricated on the material surface using a mold-replication method based on digital light processing (DLP) photopolymerization printing technology. A series of characterization techniques including surface morphology analysis, chemical composition analysis, and wettability testing were employed. The surface morphology analysis results indicated that the method of using DLP photopolymerization technology to print mold replicas and create micro-patterned structures was indeed effective in creating micro-patterned structures on both PVDF and PVDF/PVA composite films. The chemical composition analysis showed that the spin-coating of PVDF powder material resulted in PVDF β-phase crystalline structure, which has a positive effect on cell growth. Furthermore, the introduction of hydrophilic groups was achieved by mixing PVDF with PVA. Wetting test results indicate that the incorporation of the hydrophilic material PVA and micro-patterned surfaces both contribute to the improved hydrophilicity of the material. The water contact angle of the micro-patterned PVDF/PVA composite film reached 30.8°, exhibiting excellent hydrophilic properties. This study achieved the optimization of PVDF surface properties through micro-patterned surface modification and material composition design, providing novel insights for the further development of PVDF materials in the field of biotechnology.
Oscillatory nonlinear thermal instability in nanoliquid under gravity modulation within Hele-Shaw cell
Authors: Kiran Palle 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The effect of gravity-field modulation is investigated in a nano liquid-confined Hele-Shaw cell. This study aims to finish the work described in (S. N. Rai, B. S. Bhadauria, K. Anish, and B. K. Singh, “Thermal instability in nanoliquid under four types of magnetic-field modulation within Hele-Shaw cell,” Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, vol. 145, no. 7, p. 072501, 2023) for oscillatory convection. The existence of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) model is constrained by the requirement ω
2 > 0. The magnetic fluxes in the Hele-shaw cell are governed by CGLE with g-jitter. The quantity of heat-mass transfer is examined in the presence of a g-jitter. In addition, the findings of our research on transport analysis indicate that oscillatory mode is preferable to stationary mode. It is also found that the gravity-driven Hele-Shaw layer has lower transport properties. Further, the transport analysis is compared to previous research and shown to have improved results.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Introduction
In the realm of organ transplantation, particularly heart transplantation, angioedema presents a significant challenge. This clinical condition ranges from minor facial edema to life-threatening swelling of vital structures. Its multifactorial etiology involves various factors and mechanisms, including C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency, food allergen hypersensitivity, and adverse drug reactions, notably involving angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR-Is). We present a rare case of sirolimus potentiated angioedema in a patient with long-standing ACE inhibitor therapy.

Case
A 52-year-old male with a history of heart transplant developed severe upper and lower lip edema. The patient had been on Lisinopril without any adverse events. However, sirolimus was recently added to his drug regimen. Sirolimus potentiated angioedema was suspected.

Intervention
Intravenous methylprednisolone, famotidine, and diphenhydramine were initiated, and both lisinopril and sirolimus were discontinued. The patient showed improvement and was discharged with oral antihistamines.

Lessons
Transplant physicians should be aware of the life-threatening interaction between ACE inhibitors and mTOR-Is like sirolimus. Consideration should be given to switching from an ACE inhibitor to an angiotensin-receptor blocker when initiating patients on mTOR-Is.
Avoiding Burnout with Compassionate Accompaniment: A Novel Approach to Training, Selecting, Managing, and Regulating Frontline Workers
Authors: Oelberger Carrie 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A significant amount of nonprofit work happens on the “frontlines”—interacting directly with clients and developing relationships with them in unpredictable and complex social service settings. As a result, frontline work tends to result in high degrees of burnout among staff, manifesting in emotional exhaustion and cynicism towards clients, as well as poor health for workers and ongoing turnover for organizations. How do frontline workers avoid burnout and attrition while doing effective work with clients? Informed by an inductive qualitative research study of frontline workers across 10 social service organizations, this policy brief first presents two approaches to frontline work that I witnessed, both of which have negative impacts on staff and clients. These approaches align with extant scholarship on street-level bureaucracy. I then present a third approach, drawing from a practice of compassionate accompaniment I observed in my research, and which avoids the commonplace negative outcomes. This approach aligns with literature from liberation theology, as well as abolitionist organizing, decolonizing approaches, and feminist theory. Inspired by the practice of compassionate accompaniment, I propose four policy suggestions involving novel processes of training, selecting, managing, and regulating frontline workers to reduce staff burnout and increase their effectiveness with clients.

Published: January 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the economic backbone of communities, with their sustainability influenced by various factors, including adherence to business legality. Among the crucial legal aspects, obtaining halal certification stands out as a pivotal requirement. This certification plays a vital role for business entities, aiming to bolster consumer confidence in the products they offer. The research conducted adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. Surveys and direct interviews with service partners reveal significant challenges faced by these partners. These challenges encompass a spectrum from comprehending the importance of halal food products and the processes involved in their production to understanding the intricacies of halal certification and the necessary steps to obtain it. In accordance with the Halal Product Assurance regulations, the implementation of halal certification in Indonesia is mandated to expedite. Notably, by no later than October 17, 2024, all products entering, circulating, and trading in Indonesia must be duly halal-certified. This stringent timeline underscores the urgency for businesses to prioritize obtaining halal certification, positioning it as a critical component of their legal obligations. The significance of halal certificates extends beyond mere compliance, serving as a testament to a business's commitment to meeting the ethical and religious considerations of its diverse consumer base. This study also advocates for the important role of halal certification in sustaining MSMEs as the economic backbone of communities. The findings underscore the need for robust policy-making, emphasizing the urgency of halal certification in accordance with Halal Product Assurance regulations in Indonesia. The research aligns with the advocacy for policies that prioritize the timely implementation of halal certification, recognizing it as a critical component for MSMEs to meet legal obligations and enhance consumer trust.

Published: January 2024

The wide range of water-related problems, with their diverse implications for living beings and the environment, is an urgent issue to which both decision-makers at various levels and academia, as a generator and mobiliser of relevant and valuable knowledge for the community, must dedicate themselves. In Resolution 64/292, the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognised the Human Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation (HRWSS), of July 28th., 2010. It calls upon States and international organisations to provide financial resources, capacity building and technology transfer to help provide accessible and affordable drinking water supply and sanitation for all. The primary objective of this article is raise awareness among the general population of the risks and conflicts caused by weak water governance by providing information, through the methodology of meta-analysis, in the quest to educate and deepen the conservation and reutilisation of water, not only as a limited natural resource but also as a central part of maintaining peace in an increasingly water-thirsty world where powerful interests continue the demand for and consumption of this precious liquid, despite the populations themselves and the scientific warnings on the subject.
Red box, green box: A self-report behavioral frequency measurement approach for behavioral addictions research
Authors: King Daniel L. , Billieux Joël , Delfabbro Paul H. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractBehavior frequency measures in behavioral addictions research fail to account for how engagement in the activity relates to each respondent's personal circumstances. We propose a “Red Box, Green Box” method, an alternative to conventional self-report behavior questions. Participants report two distinct time-based values: (1) Green box: time spent engaged in the activity during ‘free’ time, and (2) Red box: engagement in the activity at times when the respondent should be doing something else (e.g., studying, working, sleeping, exercising, etc.). Some practical examples of the ‘red box, green box’ method are provided. This method may help to calibrate behavioral frequency for each respondent and yield clearer insights into displacement effects and risks associated with frequency of use. We suggest some future research directions to test the feasibility and utility of this approach in different implementations.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe advancement of communication technology and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an increased reliance on online education. However, the effects of the long-term use of smart devices for online learning on students' social anxiety and problematic smartphone use (PSU) and the role of fear of missing out (FoMO) in this process have yet to be fully explored.MethodsThis study analysed longitudinal data from 2,356 high school students (female = 1,137 (48.26%), mean age = 13.84, SD age = 1.37) in China, divided into high- and low-FoMO groups based on their scores on the FoMO scale, to examine the impact of four months of online learning on social anxiety and PSU. The Social Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) were used to assess social anxiety and PSU symptoms.ResultsThe undirected symptom networks revealed more bridge symptoms among the students in the high-FoMO group, although their overall symptom scores decreased. The results of the directed cross-lagged panel networks showed that “productivity loss” predicted other symptoms in the low-FoMO group but that “afraid of negative evaluation” was the predictor in the high-FoMO group. Meanwhile, “withdrawal/escape” and “productivity loss” were the symptoms that were most affected by other symptoms in the high-FoMO and low-FoMO groups, respectively.ConclusionsThe current study therefore sheds light on the changes in social anxiety and PSU symptoms among secondary school students during long-term online learning, as well as the moderating role of FoMO.
