AbstractLarge language model (LLM) chatbots possess a remarkable capacity to synthesize complex information into concise, digestible summaries across a wide range of orthopedic subject matter. As LLM chatbots become widely available they will serve as a powerful, accessible resource that patients, clinicians, and researchers may reference to obtain information about orthopedic science and clinical management. Here, we examined the performance of three well‐known and easily accessible chatbots–ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing AI–in responding to inquiries relating to clinical management and orthopedic concepts. Although all three chatbots were found to be capable of generating relevant responses, ChatGPT outperformed Bard and BingAI in each category due to its ability to provide accurate and complete responses to orthopedic queries. Despite their promising applications in clinical management, shortcomings observed included incomplete responses, lack of context, and outdated information. Nonetheless, the ability for these LLM chatbots to address these inquires has largely yet to be evaluated and will be critical for understanding the risks and opportunities of LLM chatbots in orthopedics.

AbstractTendon allograft and xenograft processing often involves one or more steps of freezing and thawing. As failure strength is an important graft consideration, this study aimed to evaluate effects on failure properties when varying freeze‐thaw conditions. Kangaroo tendons, a potential xenograft source, were used to evaluate changes in ultimate tensile strength (UTS), failure strain and elastic modulus after exposure to different freezer‐storage temperatures (−20°C vs. −80°C), storage durations (1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 months), number of freeze‐thaw cycles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10), or freeze‐thaw temperature ranges (including freezing in liquid nitrogen to thawing at 37°C). Tendons stored for 6 or more months had significantly increased UTS and elastic modulus compared with 1 or 3 months of storage. This increase occurred irrespective of the freezing temperature (−20°C vs. −80°C) or the number of freeze‐thaw cycles (1 vs. 10). In contrast, UTS, failure strain and the elastic modulus were no different between storage temperatures, number of freeze‐thaw cycles and multiple freeze‐thaw cycles across a range of freeze and thaw temperatures. Common freeze‐thaw protocols did not negatively affect failure properties, providing flexibility for graft testing, storage, transportation and decellularisation procedures. However, the change in properties with the overall storage duration has implications for assessing the consistent performance of grafts stored for short versus extended periods of time (<6 months vs. >6 months), and the interpretation of data obtained from tissues of varying or unknown storage durations.

AbstractPeripheral nerve injuries (PNI) represent a prevalent and severe category of damage resulting from traumatic incidents. Predominantly, the deficiency in nerve regeneration can be ascribed to enduring inflammatory reactions, hence imposing substantial clinical implications for patients. Fisetin, a flavonoid derived from plants, is naturally present in an array of vegetables and fruits, including strawberries, apples, onions, and cucumbers. It exhibits immunomodulatory properties through the reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress. In the present research, a nerve defect is addressed for the first time utilizing a scaffold primed for controlled fisetin release. In this regard, fisetin‐loaded chitosan hydrogels are incorporated into the lumen of polycaprolactone (PCL) nerve guide conduits (NGCs). The hydrogel maintained a steady release of an appropriate fisetin dosage. The study outcomes indicated that the fisetin/chitosan/polycaprolactone (FIS/CS/PCL) NGCs amplified Schwann cell proliferation and neural expression, curtailed oxidative stress, alleviated inflammation, and improved functions, electrophysiological properties, and morphology. This pioneering scaffold has the potential to contribute significantly to the field of neuroengineering.

Abstract

Objective
Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus is an iconic species in the southeast U.S. Atlantic Ocean, sought by both commercial and recreational fleets. Five stock assessments over the past quarter century have shown Red Snapper to be experiencing overfishing. Highly restricted landings since 2010 have been insufficient to end overfishing because fishing effort is not species specific but rather applies generally to a complex of reef-associated species. Consequently, Red Snapper are discarded as bycatch when regulations prohibit their retention, and many of the discarded fish die from hook injury, barotrauma, or depredation.

Methods
Here we developed a spatial population model of Red Snapper and the multispecies fishery that captures them in the southeast U.S. Atlantic. We then simulated and compared 25 different management measures that fall broadly into the categories of gear modifications, discard mortality mitigation, size limits, spatial approaches, or temporal approaches. Criteria for comparison address the management goals of decreasing dead discards, rebuilding the age structure, and increasing landings and spawning biomass.

Result
We found that the most effective measures reduced fishing effort, either temporally or spatially, and that benefits could largely be obtained by focusing on the recreational fleet. Discard mortality mitigation (e.g., through use of descender devices) displayed a wide range in effectiveness depending on plausible levels of mortality reduction, but it addressed all management goals and in practice could be paired with other measures. A measure with restricted recreational effort combined with full retention of all fish caught showed the greatest potential to simultaneously rebuild the stock, increase landings, and eliminate dead discards.

Conclusion
To end overfishing of Red Snapper as required by law, resource managers should reconsider the policy of unrestricted effort of the private recreational fleet to this multispecies fishery. The benefits of restricted effort would include increased catch rates, larger landed fish, and fewer dead discards.

AbstractModern quantum technologies have matured such that they can now be used in space applications, e.g., long‐distance quantum communication. Here, the design of a compact true single photon source is presented that can enhance the secure data rates in satellite‐based quantum key distribution scenarios compared to conventional laser‐based light sources. The quantum light source is a fluorescent color center in hexagonal boron nitride. The emitter is off‐resonantly excited by a diode laser and directly coupled to an integrated photonic processor that routes the photons to different experiments performed directly on‐chip: i) the characterization of the single photon source and ii) testing a fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics, namely the relation of the probability density and the wave function (known as Born's rule). The described payload is currently being integrated into a 3U CubeSat and scheduled to launch in 2024 into low Earth orbit. Therefore the feasibility of true single photon sources and reconfigurable photonic circuits in space can be evaluated. This provides a promising route toward a high‐speed quantum network.
Delay‐difference approximations of PD‐controllers. Improperly‐posed systems in multiple delays case

Published: January 2024

SummaryIn this paper, we study the behavior of characteristic roots of a class of strictly proper LTI SISO systems that are subject to a PD controller for which the derivative action has been implemented by means of a delay‐difference approximation scheme that uses multiple delays. To such an end, the improperly‐posed case is discussed in depth, that is, the situations where “small delays” induce instability in the closed‐loop system. The effect of adding more delays on the improperly‐posed case is analyzed and a methodology for determining the set of parameters that produces such a situation for a given number of delays is derived. Some illustrative examples complete the presentation.

AbstractLiNO3 has attracted intensive attention as a promising electrolyte additive to regulate Li deposition behavior as it can form favorable Li3N, LiNxOy species to improve the interfacial stability. However, the inferior solubility in carbonate‐based electrolyte restricts its application in high‐voltage Li metal batteries. Herein, an artificial composite layer (referred to as PML) composed of LiNO3 and PMMA is rationally designed on Li surface. The PML layer serves as a reservoir for LiNO3 release gradually to the electrolyte during cycling, guaranteeing the stability of SEI layer for uniform Li deposition. The PMMA matrix not only links the nitrogen‐containing species for uniform ionic conductivity but also can be coordinated with Li for rapid Li ions migration, resulting in homogenous Li‐ion flux and dendrite‐free morphology. As a result, stable and dendrite‐free plating/stripping behaviors of Li metal anodes are achieved even at an ultrahigh current density of 20 mA cm−2 (>570 h) and large areal capacity of 10 mAh cm−2 (>1200 h). Moreover, the Li||LiFePO4 full cell using PML‐Li anode undergoes stable cycling for 2000 cycles with high‐capacity retention of 94.8%. This facile strategy will widen the potential application of LiNO3 in carbonate‐based electrolyte for practical LMBs.

AbstractPhenol bioremediation was investigated using two bacteria (primarily cocci) Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis, Kocuria rosea strains and the one actinomycetes Nocardiopsis lucentensis which were isolated from samples of activated sludge from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Beni‐Suef, Egypt as sole carbon and energy sources. This was applied on real industrial wastewater sample taken from Ul HAWA textile plant, Middle Egypt. Degradation of phenol by microbes adsorbed on natural kaolin clay was studied compared with free microbes. In case of 50 mg/L as starting phenol concentration, the percentage removal using free microbes was 68%, corresponding to 98% in case of microbes adsorbed on kaolin clay after the passage of 48 h under incubation at 30°C and neutral pH at 150 rpm. Also, 300 mg/L of phenol achieved degradation frequency of 80% compared to 38% after ≈48 h without clay addition. High concentrations of an organic pollutant are usually inhibitory for the microorganisms. Kaolin clay has a pronounced effect in accelerating phenol degradation through biofilm formation resulting in decreasing the degradation time, increasing the percentage of removing efficiency under high phenol concentration conditions due to its buffering effects on pH fluctuations of the degradation system. Kaolin clay protects microorganisms against unfavorable environment, resists the adverse effects of substrate inhibition and accelerates the degradation process. The adsorption process was demonstrated by the pseudo‐first‐order, pseudo‐second‐order, Weber–Morris adsorption kinetic models, and four isotherm models namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich have been applied to express the adsorption process. The SEM images of microbes adsorbed on kaolin clay explain their adsorption mode on the clay surface as biofilm (Bio kaolinite).
The IBE Axiom: “Rising from the Individual to the Universal”
Authors: Hofstetter Rita , Schneuwly Bernard 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAs seen in preceding chapters, the links to the educational reformist movements became less official and more blurred. The IBE’s leaders however were neither disowning their educational orientations nor abandoning their pacifist mission. The IBE was oriented towards guaranteeing access to education for all, and developing the knowledge and methods that could be universalised to achieve this. This was underpinned by a powerful psychological theory with a universal aim and rooted in nature that must be respected to enable the child to overcome egocentrism to attain the universal. But contrary to some UNESCO wishes, the universal aim was not to establish a world culture but working to reconcile local, national and even patriotic points of view while promoting a global citizenship, and striving against any cultural hegemony.
A Commitment That Was All the More Binding Because It Was Freely Chosen
Authors: Hofstetter Rita , Schneuwly Bernard 
Published: January 2024

AbstractOn the basis of surveys on crucial educational problems, the International Conferences on Public Education drew up recommendations that the participating States voted on. This vote, from the point of view of the leaders of the IBE as shown in the chapter, committed the states. The IBE leaders also responded to critics concerning the official data presented in the reports on the education surveys in claiming that, even if not corresponding completely to reality, producing these data committed the States. And they observed that official data on education are much more contested than data on the economy for instance.
School Subjects in the Service of Peace and the Individual
Authors: Hofstetter Rita , Schneuwly Bernard 
Published: January 2024

AbstractChapters 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 analyse the IBE’s positioning with regard to what it referred to itself as “causes” on its work agenda: five sets of causes are focused on. This chapter focuses on the discussions about what to teach, how to teach it and for what purpose. School subjects were considered as a way of organising content in a complementary way, although a better balance should be developed. Active methods and group work should be privileged and contents defined in line with the child’s development as defined by psychology.
From Educational Justice to Social Justice

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe mission that the IBE set itself was to universalise access to schooling. The 1930s exemplify this voluntarist policy of schooling to which the IBE invited governments and their ministerial delegates. Later, it was a question of taking into account and adjusting to conditions and environments, but also of respecting the diversity of aptitudes and interests of each individual, in order to recognise their specific identity. At the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, the key words of social justice and equality of opportunity were used as if they were self-evident. The ideology of merit, which was already very much in evidence in the inter-war period, was sometimes confirmed and sometimes challenged. An insert shows the conferences’ awareness that universal access to education implies material and institutional infrastructures.
During the War, the IBE Prepares the Post-War Period

Published: January 2024

AbstractIn the midst of the cataclysm of war, the IBE continued its activities: although the Conferences were suspended between 1940 and 1945, the international surveys, the documentation work, the collection of information, the permanent exhibition and the educational correspondence with countries, even the belligerent ones, continued. Nevertheless, the IBE’s functioning and its priorities were profoundly restructured: its causes now had a humanitarian dimension, with the focus on people in captivity: it organised a Service of Intellectual Assistance to Prisoners of War.

Abstract
Key message
Fine-mapping of a locus on chromosome 1 of flax identified an S-lectin receptor-like kinase (SRLK) as the most likely candidate for a major Fusarium wilt resistance gene.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini, is a devastating disease in flax. Genetic resistance can counteract this disease and limit its spread. To map major genes for Fusarium wilt resistance, a recombinant inbred line population of more than 700 individuals derived from a cross between resistant cultivar ‘Bison’ and susceptible cultivar ‘Novelty’ was phenotyped in Fusarium wilt nurseries at two sites for two and three years, respectively. The population was genotyped with 4487 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Twenty-four QTLs were identified with IciMapping, 18 quantitative trait nucleotides with 3VmrMLM and 108 linkage disequilibrium blocks with RTM-GWAS. All models identified a major QTL on chromosome 1 that explained 20–48% of the genetic variance for Fusarium wilt resistance. The locus was estimated to span ~ 867 Kb but included a ~ 400 Kb unresolved region. Whole-genome sequencing of ‘CDC Bethune’, ‘Bison’ and ‘Novelty’ produced ~ 450 Kb continuous sequences of the locus. Annotation revealed 110 genes, of which six were considered candidate genes. Fine-mapping with 12 SNPs and 15 Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers narrowed down the interval to ~ 69 Kb, which comprised the candidate genes Lus10025882 and Lus10025891. The latter, a G-type S-lectin receptor-like kinase (SRLK) is the most likely resistance gene because it is the only polymorphic one. In addition, Fusarium wilt resistance genes previously isolated in tomato and Arabidopsis belonged to the SRLK class. The robust KASP markers can be used in marker-assisted breeding to select for this major Fusarium wilt resistance locus.
High pressure raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction of K2Ca(CO3)2 bütschliite: multiple pressure-induced phase transitions in a double carbonate

AbstractThe crystal structure and bonding environment of K2Ca(CO3)2 bütschliite were probed under isothermal compression via Raman spectroscopy to 95 GPa and single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction to 12 and 68 GPa, respectively. A second order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state fit to the X-ray data yields a bulk modulus, $${K}_{0}=46.9$$

Bütschliite undergoes a phase transition to a monoclinic C2/m structure at around 6 GPa, mirroring polymorphism within isostructural borates. A fit to the compression data of the monoclinic phase yields $${V}_{0}=322.2$$

using a third order fit; the ability to access different compression mechanisms gives rise to a more compressible material than the low-pressure phase. In particular, compression of the C2/m phase involves interlayer displacement and twisting of the [CO3] units, and an increase in coordination number of the K+ ion. Three more phase transitions, at ~ 28, 34, and 37 GPa occur based on the Raman spectra and powder diffraction data: these give rise to new [CO3] bonding environments within the structure.
Three Sliding Probes Placed on Forelimb Skin for Proprioceptive Feedback Differentially yet Complementarily Contribute to Hand Gesture Detection and Object-Size Discrimination
Authors: Devecioğlu İsmail , Karakulak Ertuğrul 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe purpose was to assess the effectiveness of three sliding tactile probes placed on the forelimb skin to provide proprioceptive feedback for the detection of hand gestures and discrimination of object size. Tactile contactors representing the first three fingers were driven along the proximodistal axis by linear servo motors. Twenty healthy subjects were involved in the gesture detection test, with 10 of them also participating in the object-size discrimination task. Motors were controlled by computer in the first four sessions of the gesture detection experiment, while the fifth session utilized a sensorized glove. Both the volar and dorsal sides of the forearm were examined. In the object-size discrimination experiment, the method was exclusively assessed on the volar surface under four distinct feedback conditions, including all fingers and each finger separately. The psychophysical data were further analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM) to evaluate the specific contributions of each individual contactor. Subjects consistently outperformed the chance level in detecting gestures. Performance improved up to the third session, with better results obtained on the volar side. The performances were similar in the fourth and fifth sessions. The just noticeable difference for achieving a 75% discrimination accuracy was found to be 2.90 mm of movement on the skin. SEM analysis indicated that the contactor for the index finger had the lowest importance in gesture detection, while it played a more significant role in object-size discrimination. However, all fingers were found to be significant predictors of subjects' responses in both experiments, except for the thumb, which was deemed insignificant in object-size discrimination. The study highlights the importance of considering the partial contribution of each degree of freedom in a sensory feedback system, especially concerning the task, when designing such systems.
