AbstractAimsThe restoration of unused urban‐industrial areas has great conservation potential as it can sometimes create a win‐win situation in terms of nature conservation and economic benefits. Financial data of restoration projects are rarely published. To close this gap, we report the cost–benefit analysis of different landscaping methods used in the greening of the outskirts of a factory industrial area.LocationThe study area is located in a factory area in Nyíregyháza, Nyírség, Hungary.MethodsIn this study, we compare the costs of the implementation and maintenance of three different types of grasslands (intensively and extensively managed park lawns and semi‐natural grassland, called eco area) and the ecological benefits in terms of vegetation and potential for pollinators.ResultsThe implementation and maintenance costs of the extensively managed park lawn were more than ten‐fold higher than that of the eco area, despite the higher price of native plant material. The construction of the extensive park lawn is the cheapest, but the eco area pays off in ca. 1.5 years compared to it, taking into account the lower maintenance costs. Seven years after implementation, the eco area is the most species‐rich, hosting the highest number of natural constituent species, but with similar vegetation cover as in the intensively managed park lawn without costly maintenance. The cover and species richness of legumes and forbs are also higher in the eco area, ensuring a food source for pollinators.ConclusionsOur results support that introducing species‐rich and diverse grasslands with native, habitat specialist species as an alternative to traditional landscaping in urban‐industrial areas can be economically and ecologically rewarding. The higher costs of planning, plant material, and implementation pay off in a short time due to low maintenance costs and can lead to a win‐win situation for nature as well as for the local economy.
Ableism differs by disability, gender and social context: Evidence from vignette experiments
Authors: Timmons Shane , McGinnity Frances , Carroll Eamonn 
Published: November 2023

AbstractExisting research on prejudice and discrimination towards disabled people (i.e. ‘ableism’) has conceptualized it as a general attitude, obscuring the role of social context in its manifestation. We aimed to investigate whether and how ableism manifests differently depending on the nature of the disability, the disabled person's gender and the social context of the interaction. A nationally representative sample of 2000 adults read a series of vignettes about issues faced by disabled people (e.g. employment, relationships). Vignettes varied by presence and type of disability and the disabled person's gender. Judgements about how a disabled person was treated showed clear evidence of ableism towards some conditions (e.g. autism) but not others (e.g. a spine disorder). Judgements about the actions of a disabled person were more nuanced. A disability‐gender intersectionality effect was observed for judgements about romantic relationships, with physically disabled women penalized compared to men but no gender difference was observed for intellectual disability. No intersectionality or ableism was observed on a vignette about refusing poorly paid work. We find clear evidence that ableism manifests differently depending on the nature of the individual's disability, their gender and the social context, questioning previous conceptualizations of ableism as a general attitude.
Children's relational experiences with the financial crisis in Greece
Authors: Pardali Eirini , Ursin Marit 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWhen Greece was hit by the global financial crisis in 2009, families with children paid the heaviest toll. In this article, we draw on individual interviews and focus groups with 17 sixth graders, six teachers and six parents at a primary school in the Magnesia region. We use a relational approach to unpacking everyday austerity as it is lived, felt and experienced by Greek children. The empirical material shows how children's well‐being is conditioned by the well‐being of their families, where emotional stress spills over through witnessing parents' worries. Relational agency enables children to contribute to adversity relief, which seems to enhance not only their well‐being but also their resilience, as it is embedded in relations of mutual empowerment and development. Lastly, the study documents how macro policies of austerity measures trickle into the fabric of children's everyday lives and shape familial and intergenerational practices of care and responsibility.

Published: November 2023

AbstractMelanotic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) is a newly described clinical variant of chronic cutaneous LE, presenting with localized or diffuse brownish or grayish macular and reticulated pigmentation in the absence of erythema, scaling, atrophy, scarring, or telangiectasia. The diagnosis is based upon histopathology, which demonstrates the characteristic features of LE with an interface vacuolar dermatitis with melanophages, and a superficial and deep, perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrate with mucin deposition. Herein, we describe a case of a 61‐year‐old White male presenting with melanotic cutaneous LE with a blaschkoid distribution on his face in which the histopathological phenomenon of “true melanocytic nests” in the setting of a lichenoid pattern was seen. We want to highlight how nests of cellular aggregates at the dermoepidermal junction labeling with melanocytic markers may occur in the setting of an interface tissue reaction. This benign reactional pattern may mimic atypical melanocytic proliferations, especially on sun‐damaged skin. Clinicopathological correlation and careful microscopic examination using a panel of multiple melanocytic markers is crucial for making an accurate final diagnosis. All the cases of melanotic cutaneous LE reported in the literature are also reviewed.
Immunotherapy and lung cytopathology: Overview and possibilities
Authors: Lozano Maria D. , Argueta Allan , de Andrea Carlos 
Published: November 2023

AbstractImmunotherapy has become a promising cancer treatment in the past decade, and IHC is the most commonly used testing method for PDL‐1/PD1 evaluation. In general, PD‐L1 assays can be performed on both FFPE specimens and cytological samples. However, their use on smears is not yet well‐established or validated. Nowadays, digital images and advanced algorithms can aid in interpreting PD‐L1 in cytological samples. Understanding the immune environment of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is critical in developing successful anticancer immunotherapies. The use of a multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF) assay on cytological samples obtained through minimally invasive methods appears to be a viable option for investigating the immune environment of NSCLC. This review aims to briefly summarize the knowledge of the role of cytopathology in the analysis of PD‐L1 by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and future directions of cytopathology in the immunotherapy setting.

Published: November 2023

AbstractMelphalan flufenamide (melflufen), a first‐in‐class alkylating peptide‐drug conjugate, plus dexamethasone demonstrated superior progression‐free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), versus pomalidomide plus dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in the OCEAN study. Time to progression (TTP) <36 months after a prior autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was a negative prognostic factor for OS with melflufen. This post hoc exploratory analysis evaluated patients refractory to prior alkylators (e.g., cyclophosphamide and melphalan) in OCEAN. In 153 patients refractory to prior alkylators (melflufen, n = 78; pomalidomide, n = 75), the melflufen and pomalidomide arms had similar median PFS (5.6 months [95% CI, 4.2–8.3] vs. 4.7 months [95% CI, 3.1–7.3]; hazard ratio [HR], 0.92 [95% CI, 0.63–1.33]) and OS (23.4 months [95% CI, 14.4–31.7] vs. 20.0 months [95% CI, 12.0–28.7]; HR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.62–1.38]). Among alkylator‐refractory patients with a TTP ≥ 36 months after a prior ASCT or no prior ASCT (melflufen, n = 54; pomalidomide, n = 53), the observed median PFS and OS were longer in the melflufen arm than the pomalidomide arm. The safety profile of melflufen was consistent with previous reports. These results suggest that melflufen is safe and effective in patients with alkylator‐refractory disease, suggesting differentiated activity from other alkylators.

Published: November 2023

AbstractNumerical association rule mining (NARM) is a popular method under the umbrella of data mining, focused on finding relationships between attributes in transaction databases. Numerical association rules for time series are a new paradigm that extends the applicability of NARM to the domain of time series. Association rule mining algorithms result in numerous rules, the interpretation of which is sometimes not easy for human experts. Therefore, various visualization methods have been developed to improve the explanation results of the rule mining process. This article is a novel contribution to the development of a new visualization method capable of presenting the association rules for time series developed according to the principles of explainable artificial intelligence. The experiments are conducted in the context of smart agriculture (i.e., agricultural time series data), and show the great potential of the proposed visualization method for the future.

AbstractBackgroundNursing and health policy focus on retaining nurses in practice, especially because the world lacks more than 6 million nurses. Rewards are believed to be an effective strategy to attract, retain, and improve the performance of nurses in rural and remote areas where nursing shortages are more severe. However, Generations X and Y have been found to have different preferences for rewards in various settings, so a one‐size‐fits‐all approach may not work for rewarding work.ObjectiveTo examine the perceptions of satisfaction and the importance of rewards among two generations of Thai registered nurses.MethodsUsing the Total Reward Scale, a descriptive comparative study design was employed and the data was collected from 354 nurses in rural and remote Thai community hospitals. This study is reported using the STROBE checklist. Descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test were used to analyze data.ResultsGenerations X (born in 1965–1980) and Y (born in 1981–2000) were most satisfied with and rated base salary as the most important reward. However, these generations significantly differed in their perspective about importance of healthcare, leadership, long‐term incentives, time‐off leave, and variable pay.ConclusionDifferent types of rewards were satisfying and essential for Thai nurses in Generations X and Y.Implications for nursing and health policyNational reward policies and management should be designed on priorities regarding reasonable base salary, and retirement benefits to address nursing shortages in rural and remote areas. Policymakers in health and nursing must invest in developing funded policies that consider the needs of different generations of nurses if they want success in retaining them on the job.
An empirical investigation of social comparison and open source community health
Authors: Lumbard Kevin , Germonprez Matt , Goggins Sean 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIt is well known that corporations rely on open source software as part of their product development lifecycle. Given these commitments, understanding the health of open source communities is a central concern in today's business setting. Our research uses social comparison theory as a framework for understanding how open source communities consider community health beyond any single metric within any single open source community—including a broader view of how others are using these health indicators in practice. Using methods from engaged field research, including 38 interviews, we examine practices of social comparison as an advancement in understanding open source community health—and subsequently engagement with open source communities. The results of this study show that open source community health is not a single set of discrete metrics but is an ongoing social construction. Through our study, we advance theoretical and applied knowledge regarding issues of open source community health, open source community engagement, and social comparison.

AbstractEco‐friendly ceramic capacitors gradually become an important section of pulsed power devices. However, the synchronous realization of ultra‐high energy storage density (Wrec > 6 J/cm3) and efficiency (η > 90%) is difficult. Thus, a novel multiscale amelioration strategy in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3‐based ceramics is proposed to achieve ultra‐high energy storage density and efficiency. The multiscale amelioration strategy for (Na0.5Bi0.47La0.03)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 (NBLBT) ceramic focuses on grain size, bandgap width, and dielectric relaxor behavior, which can be regulated by introducing Sr(Al0.5Nb0.25Ta0.25)O3 (SANT). On the one hand, the refined grain size and increased bandgap width are conducive to improving the breakdown strength. On the other hand, the optimized dielectric relaxation behavior is beneficial to suppress the remanent polarization. Accordingly, an ultrahigh Wrec = 6.89 J/cm3 and η = 90.1% are simultaneously achieved in 0.84NBLBT‐ 0.16SANT ceramic. In addition, the sample synchronously possesses excellent thermal and frequency stability (a variation within 5% in Wrec and η), transient discharge rate of t0.9 ∼ 78.8 ns and a high‐power density of PD ∼ 114.5 MW/cm3. This study provides an effective strategy to further develop pulsed power devices.

AbstractPhotochromic reaction‐induced reversible luminescence materials have attracted extensive attention and research in information storage, anticounterfeiting and other aspects. The reversible luminescence regulation could induced photochromic reaction by external fields stimulation. However, most of the bleaching methods stay in the high temperature thermal stimulation bleaching, which has low efficiency and long reaction time, thus limiting its application. In this work, the CaWO4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Bi3+ ceramics were prepared to realize the reversible regulation of photoluminescent and photochromism by light stimulation. The CaWO4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Bi3+ ceramics turn gray after being exposed to 254 nm ultraviolet light for 25 min, and then turn white under the irradiation of 532 nm laser for 10 s to restore to the original state. The cation vacancies and oxygen vacancies formed in co‐doped Bi3+ CaWO4 ceramics lead to photochromic effect. CaWO4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Bi3+ ceramics realize reversible dual mode upconversion and downconversion luminescence, improving security and reliability in anticounterfeiting. The reversibility photoluminescent and photochromism of CaWO4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Bi3+ ceramics was verified by 245‐nm ultraviolet coloration and 532‐nm laser bleaching, which indicates that CaWO4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Bi3+ ceramics have potential application prospects as anticounterfeiting agents.
Computation and Accuracy Evaluation of Comparable Scores on Culturally Responsive Assessments
Authors: Sinharay Sandip , Johnson Matthew S. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractCulturally responsive assessments have been proposed as potential tools to ensure equity and fairness for examinees from all backgrounds including those from traditionally underserved or minoritized groups. However, these assessments are relatively new and, with few exceptions, are yet to be implemented in large scale. Consequently, there is a lack of guidance on how one can compute comparable scores on various versions of these assessments. In this paper, the multigroup multidimensional Rasch model is repurposed for modeling data originating from various versions of a culturally responsive assessment and for analyzing such data to compute comparable scores. Two simulation studies are performed to evaluate the performance of the model for data simulated from hypothetical culturally responsive assessments and to find the conditions under which the computed scores are accurate. Recommendations are made for measurement practitioners interested in culturally responsive assessments.
Calcined waste shells as a promising, eco‐friendly adsorbent, antimicrobial, food preservative, and food packaging material: A mini review

Published: November 2023

AbstractConventionally, waste shells from aquaculture are dumped as a low‐value byproduct, which deteriorates ecosystems and threatens public health. Therefore, the reuse of waste shells is a pivotal issue. Calcination (≥700°C) can thermally convert calcium carbonate (CaCO3; the main component in waste shells) into active calcium oxide (CaO). This calcined shell powder has adsorption properties, antimicrobial properties, and biocompatibility, which can be used as a functional biofiller in food packaging. Calcined shell powder is also ecofriendly and nontoxic at the concentrations required for food processing and packaging, and has been approved as a food additive in Japan. Thus, this review comprehensively discusses the calcination process, compositions, adsorption and antimicrobial properties (and the underlying mechanisms), and applications of calcined shell powder in food processing and packaging.Practical applicationsThe active ingredient of calcined shell powder is active calcium oxide (CaO), which has functional abilities such as adsorption and antimicrobial properties, and is also ecofriendly and nontoxic to humans at the concentrations required for food processing and packaging. Its application as functional filler for food preservation and packaging films, the benefits, and the related mechanisms behind was the finding of this study.

Published: November 2023

AbstractPurposeThis systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of opportunistic respiratory pathogens colonizing removable dental prostheses in older adults without respiratory diseases.MethodsThis review was registered with PROSPERO and conducted in accordance with the principles formed by the working group of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) to evaluate systematic reviews of prevalence data. Literature searches were conducted across five electronic databases. Quality assessments were determined according to a revised JBI critical appraisal checklist across nine criteria. Comparison between fixed‐ and random‐effects meta‐analyses were performed for sensitivity analysis. Prediction intervals were also presented when three or more studies were included in the meta‐analysis.ResultsAcross the databases, 1091 articles were identified, and 591 articles remained after the removal of duplicates. Twenty “potentially effective” studies were identified. Ultimately eight studies informed this review and meta‐analyses were performed for 13 known respiratory pathogens. The meta‐analyses identified the top three common respiratory pathogens residing on the removable prostheses were, in descending order: Staphylococcus aureus: 31.81% (95% CI: 13.34%–48.24%); Staphylococcus epidermidis: 14.07% (95% CI: 7.88%–21.48%); Klebsiella pneumoniae: 10.50% (95% CI: 2.55%–22.30%). The heterogeneity scores for nine respiratory pathogen analyses were classified as “unimportant inconsistency”, I2 = 0% (p > 0.1). For sensitivity analysis, there was no difference between the random‐ and fixed‐effects models.ConclusionThe existing evidence demonstrated a high burden of certain opportunistic respiratory pathogens, which may be considered a major potential cause of respiratory infections in older adults wearing removable prostheses.
