AbstractEmployment can provide numerous benefits to quality of life, mental health, and social inclusion, which can be particularly important for people with disabilities. In a pilot study, the feasibility of Conversing with Others, a direct skills teaching (DST) group intervention to teach individuals with disabilities a work‐related soft skill focused on conversational skills, was assessed. This mixed methods study delivered the Conversing with Others curriculum in‐person or via telehealth to 119 participants. The intervention was based on the DST method of teaching skills through smaller, digestible, structured lessons. Both modalities showed improvement in participants’ perceptions of their conversational skills. A non‐inferiority test indicated that the telehealth and in‐person group interventions were comparable. Overall, the study supported the feasibility of in‐person and telehealth interventions for teaching workplace conversational skills.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe immobilization of vesicles has been conceptualized as a method to functionalize biointerfaces. However, the preservation of their integrity post immobilization remains a considerable challenge. Interfacial interactions can cause vesicle rupture upon close surface contact and non‐specific protein adsorption impairing surface functions. To date, immobilization of vesicles has relied solely on either entrapment or prior modification of vesicles, both of which require laborious preparation and limit their applications. This work develops a bioinspired strategy to pin vesicles without prior modification while preserving their intact shape. This work introduces antifouling diblock copolymers and ultrathin surface‐attached hydrogels containing a brush‐like interface consisting of a bottle brush copolymer of N‐(2‐hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) and N‐(3‐methacrylamidopropyl)‐N,N‐dimethyldodecan‐1‐aminiumiodide (C12+). The presence of positive charges generates an attractive force that pulls vesicles toward the surface. At the surface, the amphiphilic properties of the combs facilitate their insertion into the membrane, mimicking the harpooning mechanism observed in antimicrobial peptides. Importantly, the antifouling poly(HPMA) backdrop serves to safeguard the vesicles by preventing deformation and breakage. Using a combination of thermodynamic analysis, surface plasmon resonance, and confocal laser scanning microscopy, this work demonstrates the efficiency of this biomimetic system to capture vesicles while maintaining an antifouling interface necessary for bioapplications.

The Work Experience Survey – Rheumatic conditions (United Kingdom): Psychometric properties and identifying the workplace barriers of employed people with inflammatory arthritis receiving vocational rehabilitation
Authors: Hammond Alison , O’Brien Rachel , Woodbridge Sarah , Parker Jennifer , Ching Angela 
Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveThe aims were to: revise the Work Experience Survey‐Rheumatic Conditions (WES‐RC‐ UK), a work assessment listing 142 workplace barriers; investigate content validity, reliability, and concurrent validity; update the accompanying WES‐RC and WORKWELL Solutions Manuals; and investigate workplace barriers of people with inflammatory arthritis.MethodsRheumatology therapists, following vocational rehabilitation (VR) training, assessed participants in the WORKWELL VR trial using the WES‐RC. Data were extracted from the WES‐RC to identify the frequency of workplace barriers, and from trial baseline questionnaires (e.g., Work Limitations Questionnaire‐25 (WLQ‐25). Barriers reported by ≤5 participants were considered for removal. WES‐RC content validity was assessed by linking to the International Classification of Functioning, Health, and Disability Core Set for VR (ICF‐VR). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's α and concurrent validity by correlating the total number of workplace barriers reported with WLQ‐25 scores.ResultsWES‐RCs were completed with 116 employed participants: 79% women, age 48.72 (SD 9.49) years, and 57% working full‐time. The WES‐RC was reduced to 121 barriers. Content validity was good, with 73/90 ICF‐VR items linked. Cronbach's α = 0.92, that is, suitable for individual use. Concurrent validity was moderate: WLQ‐25 (rs = 0.40). The three most common barriers were Physical Job Demands (100%: e.g., mobility 99%; hand use 74%), Mental, Time, Energy, Emotional Job Demands (91%, e.g., concentration 47%, remembering 41%); Getting Ready for and Travel to Work (87%, e.g., driving 60%).ConclusionThe WES‐RC (UK) has good content validity, reliability, and concurrent validity. The wide range of barriers emphasises the need for biopsychosocial work rehabilitation.
A phase‐field formulation based on an extended F‐criterion for rock fracture
Authors: Sun Pan , Lu Zhitang , Wang Zhiliang , Wu Jie 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this paper a phase‐field formulation based on an extended F‐criterion (the normalized strain energy release rate criterion) is proposed to simulate tensile‐compressive‐shear rock fractures. By applying the F‐criterion, the phase‐field crack‐driving energy decomposition is determined by a direction search which maximizes the local fracture dissipation. In compressive‐shear states, the computation is supplemented by an explicitly expressed confinement‐dependent mode‐II fracture energy release rate, and the cracking angle is determined by both the fracture energy and strain states. The hybrid formulation and alternate minimization algorithm are adopted for the numerical examples in this paper. Fractures for rock and rock‐like specimens subjected to compression demonstrate the ability of the present model in capturing tensile‐compressive‐shear rock fracture behaviors.

AbstractObjectivesTo translate and cross‐culturally adapt the English version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire for Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ‐MLUTS) into Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate its psychometric properties.IntroductionMale lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are frequent and commonly assessed with questionnaires. The ICIQ‐MLUTS is a robust instrument that investigates the main aspects of LUTS in men and their impact on quality of life. Although highly recommended, Grade A is not as popular as the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and remained untranslated and unvalidated for Brazilian Portuguese.MethodsAfter authorization by the Advisory Board of the International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ) the translation process was conducted according to the standard guidelines and the ICIQ validation protocol. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's ⍺ coefficient and values > 0.7 were considered satisfactory. To assess test–retest reliability and reproducibility, Spearman's correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient were used. For group data, a Spearman correlation coefficient or an intraclass correlation coefficient of at least 0.70 demonstrates good test–retest reliability. A p < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsOne hundred and eighty‐six, aged 61.41 ± 11.01 years, suffering from LUTS participated in the study between January 2021 and October 2022. Cronbach's ⍺, 0.875, demonstrated the internal consistency of the Portuguese version of ICIQ‐MLUTS. The intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.912 (0.882; 0.935 – 95% CI) for the test–retest evidenced the stability and validity of the instrument. Likewise, Spearman's correlation coefficient highlighted the agreement between IPSS and ICIQ‐MLUTS, 0.906, <0.001.DiscussionThe Portuguese version of the ICIQ‐MLUTS demonstrated internal consistency, stability, and validity, in addition to agreement with the IPSS. Conclusion: The ICIQ‐MLUTS, translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese, is a robust and reliable instrument to assess LUTS in Brazilian men and can be used in the evaluation of treatment and research.

Preparation and mechanical properties of fluoropolymer composite containing polyrotaxane and nanocellulose as organic fillers
Authors: Chu Pinjung , Harada Ko , Xu Kai , Fujimori Atsuhiro 
Published: October 2023

AbstractPolymer‐based composites containing functional organic fillers with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a matrix were prepared using a simple and short melt‐compounding method, and their mechanical properties were evaluated. Polyrotaxane and nanocellulose were used as functional organic fillers. A PVDF/organic filler composite with improved mechanical hardness was prepared, even when using a fluoropolymer that tends to separate phases from other components. The optimum conditions for improving in Young's modulus were estimated from the composites prepared by varying the organic filler content. As a result, the Young's modulus increased to 1548 MPa, maximum stress approached 50 MPa, and strain elongation was 20% at contents of polyrotaxane:nanocellulose = 0.6 wt%:0.3 wt%. Furthermore, the miscibility of both components was evaluated based on the change in the crystallization temperature of the composite, the PVDF matrix, and each organic filler. The partial miscibility and dispersion of the organic fillers in the fluoropolymer matrix are suggested to be responsible for improving the mechanical properties.Highlights
Unique composites containing nanocellulose and polyrotaxane were prepared.
Organic fillers were introduced into a phase‐separable fluoropolymer matrix.
Mechanical properties were improved by introduction of organic fillers.
Nanocellulose seems to adsorb to the polymer chain ends of fluoropolymer.
Polyrotaxane showed partial miscibility with fluoropolymer matrix.
Optimizing the PROTREC network‐based missing protein prediction algorithm
Authors: Wu Wenshan , Huang Zelu , Kong Weijia , Peng Hui , Goh Wilson Wen Bin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article summarizes the PROTREC method and investigates the impact that the different hyper‐parameters have on the task of missing protein prediction using PROTREC. We evaluate missing protein recovery rates using different PROTREC score selection approaches (MAX, MIN, MEDIAN, and MEAN), different PROTREC score thresholds, as well as different complex size thresholds. In addition, we included two additional cancer datasets in our analysis and introduced a new validation method to check both the robustness of the PROTREC method as well as the correctness of our analysis. Our analysis showed that the missing protein recovery rate can be improved by adopting PROTREC score selection operations of MIN, MEDIAN, and MEAN instead of the default MAX. However, this may come at a cost of reduced numbers of proteins predicted and validated. The users should therefore choose their hyper‐parameters carefully to find a balance in the accuracy‐quantity trade‐off. We also explored the possibility of combining PROTREC with a p‐value‐based method (FCS) and demonstrated that PROTREC is able to perform well independently without any help from a p‐value‐based method. Furthermore, we conducted a downstream enrichment analysis to understand the biological pathways and protein networks within the cancerous tissues using the recovered proteins.

Towards Equitable Healthcare: A Cross Dataset Analysis of Healthcare and Telehealth Access
Authors: Al Haque Ebtesam , Smith Angela D. R. , Johnson Brittany 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTHistory has repeatedly shown that when it comes to healthcare, there exist significant disparities across different sub‐populations. Part of this problem is challenges with access to healthcare services and providers. In recent years, we have seen solutions emerge that attempt to address this issue, namely telehealth. But little to no work has been done to glean insights into factors contributing to lower access and whether telehealth adequately supports populations that struggle with physical access issues. In this paper, we present findings from an exploratory, cross‐dataset analysis of healthcare access in Virginia, USA. We conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses lyses to determine correlations between socioeconomic factors and physical access. We found that population density significantly impacts physical access to healthcare. We also found that lower income communities in rural areas appear to be less satisfied with the quality of care and less likely to have adequate access to alternative options such as telehealth services. Our work has implications for research aimed at understanding healthcare access and practice that aims to derive solutions to close the healthcare access gap.
The Hipátia Model: Paths toward the Brazilian Archival Digital Preservation Era
Authors: Braga Tiago , Alves Larissa 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTThis paper presents how Brazilian judiciary organizations are advancing towards a preserved digital environment, and how this process is improving the country's legal system. First, it analyzed the legal norms published by some of the most relevant Brazilian institutions and how these norms fostered the major courts to immediately start projects related to digital preservation. Second, the major challenges faced by these organizations while fulfilling the legal requirements were listed, and a general strategy to attend to them was defined. Subsequently, a model was established to fulfill these requirements. The model was structured to consider the possibilities of future expansion. As the main result of this research, a model capable of setting archival digital preservation projects was designed for the first time, enabling their consequent application by judiciary institutions in Brazil.
A Guided Tour Study of the Untidy but InspirationalPIMof Visual Artists
Authors: Hellmich Helene , Dinneen Jesse David 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTWhile all individuals deal with increasingly large amounts of digital information in their everyday lives and professionally, prior works suggest visual artists have unique information management practices and challenges. This study therefore examined the personal information management (PIM) practices and challenges of six practising visual artists using guided tours and short interviews. It was found that the visual artists had some unique practices connected to their strong emphasis on serendipity, inspiration, and visual dimensions of information. Like non‐artists, the participants faced challenges across all phases of PIM, chiefly an excess of information and fragmented organisation, and they found it especially hard to assess how personal and valuable their information could be. After characterising this rarely discussed PIM demographic, we draw on the findings to provide concrete recommendations for artists doing PIM, for information and cultural heritage institutions, and for designers of PIM software.
Negativity Bias During Information Seeking, Processing, and Sensemaking about a Policy Debate: An Eye‐tracking Experiment
Authors: Liu Yingtong , Zhang Jiajia , Zhang Pengyi 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTNegativity bias is the tendency to pay more attention and give more weight to negative information than positive information. This study explored how negativity bias affects information search, processing, and sensemaking when reading news articles on controversial topics. We conducted an eye‐tracking experiment with 43 participants who sought and read positive and negative articles about the three‐child policy debate. We measured their eye movements, cognitive load, attitude change, and sensemaking outcomes. We found that: (1) negativity bias occurs in both information search and information processing, and the outcomes of sensemaking also tend to show negative changes; (2) reading positive articles increase cognitive load more than reading negative articles; (3) gender and prior attitude have an influence on negativity bias; (4) people use different cognitive strategies when making sense of positive and negative information. This paper contributes to a better understanding of negativity bias in information seeking, processing, and sensemaking, which can help design news systems that adapt to readers' needs, and suggests people view information objectively.
What Is a Person? Emerging Interpretations of AI Authorship and Attribution
Authors: Moulaison‐Sandy Heather 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTRecently, the scholarly community has been eagerly exploring how AI‐produced content should be integrated into both academic writing and scholarly publishing. This paper investigates the prevailing responses to the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 and the interest that has been afforded it by both the academy and the publishing industry. A review of the published literature on aspects of ChatGPT authorship was carried out, finding that government and the publishing industry have unequivocally asserted that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT do not possess the traits of a person and are not able to author texts as a result. Other approaches, including practice, have been less vehement. To assess the integration of instructions on referencing ChatGPT using APA, top Google hits in the .edu domain were collected and analyzed over a 6‐week period from March 14 to April 18, 2023, a time during which official recommendations of the APA Style were finalized. Findings reveal that librarians were quick to provide guidance, but slow to update that guidance, contributing to the potential for misunderstanding the affordances of and best practices for work with LLMs.
“How Do You Measure a Relationship?” Assessment and Evaluation Challenges of Knowledge Exchange Activities in Information Work
Authors: O'Brien Heather , McDavid Kristina , Yao Jess 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTToday there is increasing emphasis on knowledge exchange (KE), the movement of knowledge and expertise amongst diverse groups to enhance research uptake, use, and impact in healthcare, government, and community settings. Library and information science (LIS) professionals are central actors in KE though community engagement, scholarly communication, literacy, and cultural heritage initiatives, but (how) is this work formally documented and evaluated? Through interviews with 24 information professionals working in varied settings, we considered how KE activities fit into the current library assessment and evaluation landscape. Using thematic analysis, we identified challenges with placing this work within current assessment practices and evaluation frameworks and showing its value, as well as a desire for alternative, more dynamic assessment and evaluation methods. We discuss these findings with respect to previous research in LIS and KE more broadly to consider professional and organizational implications.
