Low speed impact on sandwich beam with flexible core and face sheets reinforced with FG-CNTs
Authors: Jasim Manar Hamid , Al-Araji Ali Mohammed Ali 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to model the theory of the low-velocity impact (LVI) process on sandwich beams consisting of flexible cores and face sheets reinforced with functionally graded carbon nanotubes (CNTs).

Design/methodology/approach
A series of parameters derived from molecular dynamics are used to consider the size scale in the mixture rule for the combination of CNTs and resin. A procedure involving the use of the first-order shear deformation theory of the beam is used to provide the displacement field of the sandwich beam. The energy method and subsequently the generalized Lagrange method are used to derive the motion equations. Due to the use of Hertz’s nonlinear theory to calculate the contact force, the equations of motion are nonlinear. Validation of the problem is carried out by comparing natural frequencies with other papers.

Findings
The influence of a series of parameters such as CNTs distributions pattern in the face sheets, the influence of the CNTs volume fraction and the influence of the core thickness to the face sheets thickness ratio in the issue of LVI on sandwich beams with clamped-clamped boundary conditions is investigated. The result shows that the type of CNTs pattern in the face sheet and the CNTs volume fraction have a very important effect on the answer to the problem, which is caused by the change in the value of the Young’s modulus of the beam at the contact surface. Changes in the core thickness to the face sheets thickness ratio has little effect on the impact response.

Originality/value
Considering the important application of sandwich structures in vehicles, aviation and ships, in this research, sandwich beams consisting of flexible core and CNTs-reinforced face sheets are investigated under LVI.

Published: January 2024

Purpose
Soil is an essential component of road construction and is used in the form of subgrade materials. It ensures the stability and durability of the road under adverse conditions; being one of the important parameters, poor judgment of the engineering properties of soil can lead to pavement failure. Geopathic stress (GS) is a subtle energy in the form of harmful electromagnetic radiation. This study aims to investigate the effect of GS on soil and concrete.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 23 soil samples from stress zones and nonstress zones were tested for different engineering properties like water content, liquid limit, plastic limit, specific gravity and California bearing ratio. Two concrete panels were placed on GS zones, and their quality was monitored through nondestructive testing for a period of one year.

Findings
The result shows that the engineering properties of soil and pavement thickness are increasing in stress zones as compared with nonstress zones. For concrete panels, as time passes, the quality of the concrete gets reduced, which hints toward the detrimental effect of GS.

Originality/value
This research is a systematic, scientific, reliable study which evaluated subgrade characteristics thus determining the detrimental impact of the GS on soil and pavement thickness. On a concluding note, this study provides a detailed insight into the performance of the road segment when subjected to GS. Through this investigation, it is recommended that GS should be considered in the design of roads.

Authors: Patil B.S. , Priya M.R. Suji Raga 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to target utilizing Human resources (HRs) data analytics that may enhance strategic business, but little study has examined how it affects components. Data analytics, HRM and strategic business require empirical investigations and how to over come HR data analytics implementation issues.

Design/methodology/approach
A semi-systematic methodology for its evaluation allows for a more complete examination of the literature that emerges theoretical framework and a structured survey questionnaire for quantitative data collection from IT sector personnel. SPSS analyses data.

Findings
Future research is essential for organisations to exploit HR data analytics’ performance-enhancing potential. Data analytics should complement human judgment, not replace it. This paper details these transitions, the important contributions to theory and practice and future research.

Research limitations/implications
Data analytics has grown rapidly and might make HRM practices faster, more efficient and data-driven. HR data analytics may improve strategic business. HR data analytics on employee retention, engagement and organisational success is insufficient. HR data analytics may boost performance, but there is limited proof. The authors do not know how HRM data analytics influences firms and employees.

Originality/value
Data analytics offers HRM new opportunities, along with technical and ethical challenges. This study makes a significant contribution to HR data analytics, evidence-based practice and strategic business literature. In addition to estimating turnover risk, identifying engagement factors and planning interventions to increase retention and engagement, HR data analytics can also estimate the risk of employee attrition.
Supplemental nesting habitat increases bee abundance in apple orchards
Authors: Hyjazie Batoule F. , Forrest Jessica R. K. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Identifying the resources that limit bee populations is essential for both bee conservation and pollination management in agroecosystems. Land‐use change typically leads to decreased habitat availability for wild pollinators, including loss of nesting habitat, which is an essential but often‐overlooked resource for wild bees. Cavity‐nesting bees, such as many Osmia spp. (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae), occupy holes in wood or reeds to build their nests; due to their nesting habits, they are frequently scarce in agricultural settings. Nevertheless, under the right circumstances, these bees can be ideal pollinators of apple and other orchard crops. Artificial nesting structures (‘bee hotels’ or ‘trap‐nests’) are often used to study cavity‐nesting bees and have been proposed as tools for bee conservation.

To evaluate the effects of additional nesting habitat on the local abundance of pollinators, we selected 24 sites in apple orchards in eastern Canada in 2021 and 2022. Each site comprised two study plots: one in which we installed artificial nesting structures for cavity‐nesting bees, and one without added nesting habitat (control).

Pollinator surveys were conducted in both plot types to measure pollinator visits to apple blossoms and, after apple bloom, to flowers in the undergrowth and/or in shrubs. Numbers and size of developing fruit were also recorded. Both Osmia bees and overall pollinator numbers were significantly higher in the treatment with trap‐nests (respectively, 33% and 22% higher during the 2021 growing season, and 113% and 30% higher during apple bloom across the 2 years of the study); however, there was no consistent difference in apple size or fruit set between the two treatments. Thus, trap‐nests locally increased the numbers of cavity‐nesting bees as well as total pollinator numbers, but they had little effect on apple yield, likely because apple production was not pollinator limited in the years of this study.

Synthesis and applications. These findings suggest that bee populations in apple orchards can be limited by nesting resources such that addition of constructed nesting habitat could be an effective means of increasing pollinator numbers in orchards, and potentially, supporting bee conservation.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

The loss of floral resources is a leading cause of wild bee decline in agricultural landscapes, but little is known about the temporal aspects of floral resource limitation for both social and solitary bees. Understanding when floral resources are most needed is crucial for the optimal design of pollinator conservation measures.

We surveyed bees and flowers in 160 semi‐natural habitat patches multiple times per year (May–July) for 5 years. We identified the seasonality of floral resources and wild bees and examined inter‐ and intra‐annual patterns of floral resource limitation at both local and landscape scales.

Floral resource availability varied across years but generally peaked in late May, after which it declined and remained low through July.

Bumblebee and solitary bee abundances increased across the season, leading to stronger floral resource limitation for both groups later in the season. Bumblebee abundance was marginally positively associated with the cumulative amount of landscape‐scale floral resources as well as the floral resources of the previous year. Solitary bee abundance was only predicted by local‐scale floral resources.

Synthesis and applications: Our results indicate that agri‐environmental management should target the provision of summer floral resources for both social and solitary bees. Local‐scale enhancement of floral resources can likely benefit solitary bees, but bumblebees probably require the management of floral resources at the landscape scale. Increasing the floral resources and the flowering period of herbaceous habitats that cover large proportions of the landscape, such as pastures, has the greatest potential to improve summer floral resources for bees.

AbstractRemimazolam is a newly developed ultra‐short‐acting benzodiazepine that exerts sedative effects. This study aimed to clarify the effects of remimazolam on cardiac contractility. In a randomised‐parallel group trial, haemodynamic parameters were compared between propofol (n = 11) and remimazolam (n = 12) groups during the induction of general anaesthesia in patients undergoing non‐cardiac surgery. In a preclinical study, the direct effects of remimazolam on cardiac contractility were also evaluated using isolated rat hearts. RNA sequence data obtained from rat and human hearts were analysed to assess the expression patterns of the cardiac γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subunits. In a clinical study, the proportional change of the maximum rate of arterial pressure rise was milder during the study period in the remimazolam group (propofol: −52.6 [10.2] (mean [standard deviation])% vs. remimazolam: −39.7% [10.5%], p = 0.007). In a preclinical study, remimazolam did not exert a negative effect on left ventricle developed pressure, whereas propofol did exert a negative effect after bolus administration of a high dose (propofol: −26.9% [3.5%] vs. remimazolam: −1.1 [6.9%], p < 0.001). Analysis of the RNA sequence revealed a lack of γ subunits, which are part of the major benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptor, in rat and human hearts. These results indicate that remimazolam does not have a direct negative effect on cardiac contractility, which might contribute to its milder effect on cardiac contractility during the induction of general anaesthesia. The expression patterns of cardiac GABAA receptor subunits might be associated with the unique pharmacokinetics of benzodiazepines in the heart.
Higher education crisis: Academic misconduct with generative AI
Authors: Song NaYoung 
Published: January 2024

AbstractHigher educational institutions (HEIs) are facing a significant challenge in maintaining academic integrity due to the technological integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI). The widespread use of AI tools by college students has resulted in an increase in plagiarism and cheating, highlighting the need for effective implementation of this technology. However, there is a lack of research on the best practices for using AI in academic settings. HEIs must take responsibility for addressing these issues, as the majority of institutions do not have formal guidelines for AI use, leading to confusion among students and instructors. To combat academic misconduct, HEIs should establish clear objectives and policies for the equitable, inclusive, and ethical use of AI. Improving AI literacy among students and faculty is crucial, as it ensures that everyone has equal access to technology, preventing a digital divide. Moreover, proactive education on the ethical use of AI is vital for HEIs to prepare students for the AI‐driven future of education and maintain academic integrity.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe clinicians' attitudes, knowledge and practice relating to the anti‐müllerian hormone (AMH) test.DesignCross‐sectional nationwide survey.SettingAustralia.Population or SampleA total of 362 general practitioners (GPs), gynaecologists and reproductive specialists.MethodsClinicians were recruited through relevant professional organisations, with data collected from May 2021 to April 2022.Main outcome measuresClinicians' attitudes, knowledge and practice relating to the AMH test, measured using multiple choice, Likert scales and open‐ended items.ResultsFifteen percent of GPs (n = 27) and 40% of gynaecologists and other specialists (n = 73) order at least one AMH test per month. Specialists reported raising the idea of testing most of the time, whereas GPs reported that patient request was more common. Half of clinicians lacked confidence interpreting (n = 182, 51%) and explaining (n = 173, 48%) an AMH result to their patients. Five percent (n = 19) believed the test was moderately/very useful in predicting natural conception/birth and 22% (n = 82) believed the same for predicting premature menopause, despite evidence that the test cannot reliably predict either. Forty percent (n = 144) had previously ordered the test to help with reproductive planning and 21% (n = 75) to provide reassurance about fertility.ConclusionsClinicians reported use of AMH testing in clinical circumstances not supported by the evidence. With the proliferation of direct‐to‐consumer testing, efforts to support clinicians in the judicious use of testing and effectively navigating patient requests are needed.

AbstractDetecting antibiotic residues is vital to minimize their impact. Yet, existing methods are complex and costly. Biosensors offer an alternative. While many biosensors detect various antibiotics, specific ones for beta‐lactams are lacking. To address this gap, a biosensor based on the AmpC beta‐lactamase regulation system (ampR–ampC) from Pseudomonas sp. IB20, an Antarctic isolate, was developed in this study. The AmpR–AmpC system is well‐conserved in the genus Pseudomonas and has been extensively studied for its involvement in peptidoglycan recycling and beta‐lactam resistance. To create the biosensor, the ampC coding sequence was replaced with the mCherry fluorescent protein as a reporter, resulting in a transcriptional fusion. This construct was then inserted into Escherichia coli SN0301, a beta‐lactam hypersensitive strain, generating a whole‐cell biosensor. The biosensor demonstrated dose‐dependent detection of penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems. However, the most interesting aspect of this work is the high sensitivity presented by the biosensor in the detection of carbapenems, as it was able to detect 8 pg/mL of meropenem and 40 pg/mL of imipenem and reach levels of 1–10 ng/mL for penicillins and cephalosporins. This makes the biosensor a powerful tool for the detection of beta‐lactam antibiotics, specifically carbapenems, in different matrices.

AbstractIntroductionPostpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a global health problem. The introduction of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in 2008 sought to enhance the management of hemorrhagic shock during PPH. In this study, we present a single Norwegian center's experience with REBOA as a supportive treatment in combating life threatening PPH.Material and methodsThis is a historical cohort study from St Olav's University Hospital, with data from period 2008–2021. It includes all patients who underwent REBOA as an adjunct treatment due to life threatening PPH, analyzing the outcomes and trends over a 14‐year period.ResultsA total of 37 patients received REBOA as an adjunct treatment. All procedures were technically successful, achieving hemodynamic stability with an immediate average increase in systolic blood pressure of 36 ± 22 mmHg upon initial balloon inflation. Additionally, a downward trend was noted in the frequency of hysterectomies and the volume of blood transfusions required over time. No thromboembolic complications were observed.ConclusionsOur 14 years of experience at St Olav's Hospital suggests that REBOA serves as a safe and effective adjunct interventional technique for managing life‐threatening PPH. Furthermore, the findings indicate that incorporating a multidisciplinary approach to enable rapid aortic occlusion can potentially reduce the necessity for blood transfusions and hysterectomies.

Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectivesTherapists have long observed a phenomenon referred to as the ‘revolving door’ of mental health services, in which individuals often develop, seek treatment for, and recover from multiple mental illnesses across their life. However, this has not been systematically examined. If this phenomenon is widespread, one would expect that the number of lifetime disorders would exceed that of current disorders. The aim of this meta‐analysis was to test this hypothesis.MethodsA search was conducted of the following databases: MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science. In total, 38 studies were included in the current review; 27 of these contained sufficient quantitative data to be included in the meta‐analysis, addressing the primary research aim. The remaining 11 studies were included in the systematic review only.ResultsMeta‐analyses of the 27 studies indicated that the average number of lifetime disorders was 1.84 times that of current disorders. Previous treatment significantly moderated this relationship, while the clinical nature of the sample did not. Examination of the remaining studies revealed common temporal sequences, indicating disorders which typically develop first or consequently to other disorders.ConclusionsThese findings provide support for the revolving door of mental illness, suggesting a need for transdiagnostic treatments and broader conceptualisation of relapse prevention.

SummaryWe report a large series of 40 patients presenting EPAS1‐mutated paraganglioma (PGL) in whom we investigated a cause underlying chronic hypoxia. Four patients suffered from hypoxaemic heart disease. In patients with available haemoglobin electrophoresis results, 59% presented with a haemoglobin disorder, including six with sickle cell disease, five with sickle cell trait and two with heterozygous haemoglobin C disease. Histological and transcriptomic characterization of EPAS1 tumours revealed increased angiogenesis and high similarities with pseudohypoxic PGLs caused by VHL gene mutations. Sickle haemoglobinopathy carriers could thus be at increased risk for developing EPAS1‐PGLs, which should be taken into account in their management and surveillance.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe criminalization of young women in care remains an important practice and policy issue in England despite 2018 national guidance and the subsequent development of local authority protocols to reduce the criminalization of care‐experienced young people. This paper contributes to the emerging research on young women whose behaviour challenges professionals, through secondary analysis of case file data and narrative interviews with 24 care‐experienced young women from a national project on care and offending. Analysis focused on young women's pathways through the care, justice and education systems and identified five domains within young women's lives where available risk or resilience factors were significant in directing young women towards prosocial opportunities, to new types of victimization or to criminalization and offending. These domains consisted of placements and caregiver relationships; partner relationships; pregnancy and motherhood; participation in education; and the transition to adulthood through leaving care. The paper concludes with implications for practice for professionals working with young women, in particular emphasizing that how the care, justice and education systems respond to young women can contribute to negative pathways or transform them.
