Abstract
Limited data are available for sex-related long-term outcomes of patients treated for coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) restenosis. The aim of this observational, retrospective analysis was to close this lack of evidence. Between January 2007 and February 2021, a total of 3511 patients with 5497 in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions were treated at two large-volume centers in Munich, Germany, of which 763 (21.7%) were female. Endpoints of interest were all-cause mortality and rates of repeat revascularization. Outcomes are presented as Kaplan–Meier event rates. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Female patients were older (72.1 ± 10.4 versus 68.4 ± 10.4 years, p < 0.001) and suffered more often from diabetes (38.8% versus 34.4%, p = 0.029). There was no statistical difference regarding the clinical presentation and interventional treatment strategy. After 10 years, the risk of all-cause mortality was higher in female patients [hazard ratio (HR) 1.18 (1.02–1.35); p = 0.022]; however, after adjustment for age, the risk did not differ significantly between both sexes [adjusted HR 0.96 (0.83–1.11); p = 0.6]. Regarding target vessel revascularization (TVR) and non-target vessel revascularization (NTVR), the risk was lower in female patients [HR 0.73 (0.61–0.87); p < 0.001 and HR 0.74 (0.64–0.86); p < 0.001] even after age adjustment. No statistical differences were found regarding the risk of target lesion revascularization, target vessel myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis. In the long term, all-cause mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention of DES-ISR did not differ between both sexes after age adjustment. The risk of TVR and NTVR was lower in female patients even after age adjustment.

Time Restricted Eating: A Valuable Alternative to Calorie Restriction for Addressing Obesity?
Authors: Parrotta Maria Eugenia , Colangeli Luca , Scipione Valeria , Vitale Carolina , Sbraccia Paolo , Guglielmi Valeria 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose of Review
In this review, we summarize the molecular effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) and its possible role in appetite regulation. We also discuss the potential clinical benefits of TRE in obesity.

Recent Findings
TRE is an emerging dietary approach consisting in limiting food intake to a specific window of time each day. The rationale behind this strategy is to restore the circadian misalignment, commonly seen in obesity. Preclinical studies have shown that restricting food intake only during the active phase of the day can positively influence several cellular functions including senescence, mitochondrial activity, inflammation, autophagy and nutrients’ sensing pathways. Furthermore, TRE may play a role by modulating appetite and satiety hormones, though further research is needed to clarify its exact mechanisms. Clinical trials involving patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes suggest that TRE can be effective for weight loss, but its broader effects on improving other clinical outcomes, such as cardiovascular risk factors, remain less certain.

Summary
The epidemic proportions of obesity cause urgency to find dietary, pharmacological and surgical interventions that can be effective in the medium and long term. According to its molecular effects, TRE can be an interesting alternative to caloric restriction in the treatment of obesity, but the considerable variability across clinical trials regarding population, intervention, and follow-up duration makes it difficult to reach definitive conclusions.

Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund
In der modernen Arbeitswelt fördern Teamdenken und flache Hierarchien die Arbeitszufriedenheit. Die Positive Psychologie bietet wissenschaftliche Ansätze zur Steigerung von Wohlbefinden und Leistung. Im Krankenhaus erschweren starke Hierarchien und traditionelle Strukturen die Implementierung moderner Praktiken. Besonders in der Zusammenarbeit von Pflege- und Ärzteschaft prägen hierarchische Traditionen die Arbeitswahrnehmung.

Ziel der Arbeit
Ziel der Studie ist die Untersuchung des Wohlbefindens bei Pflege- und Ärzteschaft auf Basis des PERMA-Modells. Dabei stehen Unterschiede sowie Wirkungsfaktoren auf die Zusammenarbeit im Fokus. Es wird die Frage untersucht, welche Faktoren mit den Elementen Positives Gefühl, Engagement, Förderliche Beziehungen, Sinn und Zielerreichung zusammenhängen. Die Ergebnisse sollen Strategien zur Verbesserung der Arbeitszufriedenheit und Zusammenarbeit liefern.

Methode
Im Mai 2021 wurde eine quantitative Befragung in einem deutschen Maximalversorgungsklinikum durchgeführt. Die repräsentative Stichprobe umfasste 1333 Antworten. Die Daten wurden mit SPSS mittels deskriptiver Statistiken, Spearman-Korrelationen und Mann-Whitney-U-Tests ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse

Engagement (MW: 3,70) und Positives Gefühl (MW: 3,42) wurden am stärksten wahrgenommen. Weniger ausgeprägt waren Sinn, Zielerreichung und Förderliche Beziehungen. Signifikante Unterschiede zeigten sich zwischen Berufsgruppen, Geschlechtern und Führungsebenen.

Schlussfolgerung
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Führungsverhalten die Wahrnehmung der PERMA-Elemente prägt. Historische Strukturen haben geschlechtsspezifische Auswirkungen. Führungsebenen tragen auf unterschiedliche Weise zum Wohlbefinden, zur Zufriedenheit und zur Motivation der Mitarbeitenden bei.
Ranking with ties based on noisy performance data
Authors: Sankaran Aravind , Karlsson Lars , Bientinesi Paolo 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We consider the problem of ranking a set of objects based on their performance when the measurement of said performance is subject to noise. In this scenario, the performance is measured repeatedly, resulting in a range of measurements for each object. If the ranges of two objects do not overlap, then we consider one object as ‘better’ than the other, and we expect it to receive a higher rank; if, however, the ranges overlap, then the objects are incomparable, and we wish them to be assigned the same rank. Unfortunately, the incomparability relation of ranges is in general not transitive; as a consequence, in general the two requirements cannot be satisfied simultaneously, i.e., it is not possible to guarantee both distinct ranks for objects with separated ranges, and same rank for objects with overlapping ranges. This conflict leads to more than one reasonable way to rank a set of objects. Although the problem of ranking with ties has been widely studied, there remains a lack of clarity regarding what constitutes a set of reasonable rankings. In this paper, we explore the ambiguities that arise when ranking with ties, and define a set of reasonable rankings, which we call partial rankings. We develop and analyze three different methodologies to compute a partial ranking. Finally, we show how performance differences among objects can be investigated with the help of partial ranking.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Environmental performance of food and beverages is inextricably linked to the sustainable management of water resources. Water consumption is thoroughly analysed by calculating direct and indirect water usage through the water footprint model, particularly for products that are meant for export. Whilst the water-intensive grape growing industry has been extensively studied for wine production, the water use for grapes intended for drying has not been evaluated. PDO Vostizza Corinthian currants primarily export raisins that are derived from grape varieties in SW Greece that have a long history of economic, cultural, and social importance. Despite studies on the water consumption of grapevines for wine production, there is a gap in research for raisin vineyards. The water footprint model was utilised to comprehensively calculate the water usage in food production, considering direct and indirect consumption through blue, green, and grey components. This study specifically focussed on assessing the water footprint in 1 kg of currants produced on semi-mountainous and mountainous fields over a 3-year period with varying precipitation patterns. The study uses precision agriculture techniques with field-level data and modelling a site-specific water footprint estimation. Actual local and field data were used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using CROPWAT 8.0. The water footprints of five scenarios were calculated to encompass common practises and soil-climatic differences in the cultivation area. The Water Footprints (WFs) of vineyards under water stress ranged from 567 to 1,182 m3tn−1 for dry grapes and from 178 to 346 m3tn−1 for fresh grapes depending on the scenario and year of production due to fluctuations in yield and precipitation. The significant climatic adaptation of Vitis vinifera L. sp. black Corinth, var. Apyrena resulted in low WFs in consistent with its overall environmental performance.
Comparing and Contrasting the Technological and Psychological Factors of Virtual AI Usage in Mental Health Care Services between Providers and Patients: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Authors: Moriuchi Emi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The healthcare sector has experienced several transformations in recent years due to the advancement of technology. We investigated the factors that facilitate or prevent the acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) virtual avatars in mental health between medical providers and patients. The current study evaluated the technological factors and psychological factors to further understand the discrepancy in accepting an AI virtual avatar for mental health care treatment. A total of 358 patients (n = 202) and providers (n = 153), from the USA, completed a variety of measures upon watching a video on understanding what a virtual avatar in healthcare is. Structural equation modeling was used to test a theoretical model, and it was revealed that perceived ease of use was deemed more impactful on perceived usefulness for the medical providers than it is for the patients. On the contrary, anthropomorphism was deemed more impactful on the perceived usefulness of the AI virtual avatar for the patients than it is for the medical providers. Moreover, compatibility for health care needs and the way patients’ mental health care is managed is a significant moderator for the patients. This current research contributes to the literature to better understand the discrepancies of acceptance of using AI avatar in mental health between the medical providers and the patients. Theoretical implications for the findings are discussed and recommendations for future research are proposed.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Natural aggregate exploitation and landfills of industrial and agricultural by-products in the environment are leading to serious environmental hazards. The practice of assigning economic value to by-products by utilizing them in the production of artificial aggregates has expedited significant research efforts. This study aimed to utilize Taguchi-integrated grey relational analysis to optimize the multivariable parameters of geopolymerization, thereby achieving the desired properties of artificial aggregates. Fly ash, paper sludge ash, and palm oil fuel ash were treated with alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate according to the considered Taguchi design matrix. The product was crushed in a jaw crusher to produce angular artificial aggregates, a reliable method for industrial mass production. The physical properties, such as water absorption, aggregate impact value, and compressive strength tests, were analyzed and considered crucial optimization response indices. In addition, the XRF, XRD, and SEM of the precursors and artificial aggregates were investigated. Experimental results showed that the specific gravity and apparent density of produced aggregates were between 1.5 and 1.9 and 1400 to 1504 kg/m3, respectively. The microstructure inferred the presence of porous and rough surface texture. The study found the lowest water absorption of 18.7%, the lowest aggregate impact value of 26.2%, and the highest compressive strength of 36.6 MPa, which were achieved for a mix made of sodium hydroxide solution of molarity 12, alkaline solution ratio of 1.5, and raw materials proportions of 60:30:10. The findings in this study are helpful for their applications in concrete production.

Authors: Ramesh V. , Muthramu B. , Rebekhal D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Geopolymer concrete is acknowledged as a sustainable alternative to conventional Portland cement concrete owing to its ability to reduce carbon emissions and reutilize industrial by-products. This paper reviews the application of Artificial Intelligence-based Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) techniques in the sustainability assessment of geopolymer concrete. The assessment covers the entire life cycle of geopolymer concrete, spanning from the extraction of raw materials to its ultimate disposal, with a particular focus on its environmental, economic, and social impacts. The incorporation of AI techniques into the LCA process offers notable advantages, such as the efficient management of large datasets, enhancement of data quality, prediction of environmental impacts, and facilitation of informed decision-making. Key sustainability metrics to be considered include environmental impacts such as carbon footprint and energy consumption, economic factors like cost-effectiveness, as well as social implications. The amalgamation of AI within the LCA framework provides a comprehensive and efficient approach to evaluating the sustainability of geopolymer concrete, thereby facilitating its application in sustainable construction practices.
The impact of fruit and vegetable intake on healthcare costs and preventive care in older adults: evidence from SHARE data
Authors: Hosseini Tabaghdehi S. Asieh , Orso Cristina Elisa , Tealdi Cristina , Tenaglia Simona 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the association between daily fruit and vegetable consumption and healthcare utilization among older European adults. Our findings inform policies aimed at optimizing healthcare resource allocation and promoting healthy ageing in Europe's growing elderly population.

Methods
Leveraging data from the 8th wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) conducted in 2019–2020, this cross-sectional analysis examines associations between daily fruit and vegetable intake and hospitalization rates, hospital length of stay, visits to general practitioners, and specialist consultations.

Results
Our results reveal no significant difference in hospitalization probability between individuals consuming fruits/vegetables daily versus less frequently. However, among hospitalized individuals, daily consumption is associated with fewer hospitalizations and shorter hospital stays. Moreover, daily fruit and vegetable intake is positively associated with increased likelihood of consulting general practitioners and specialists. This association may be indicative of a broader health consciousness and proactive approach to well-being management among individuals who prioritize dietary choices.

Conclusion
These findings suggest that while fruit and vegetable consumption alone may not prevent hospitalizations in this segment of the population, it is linked to reduced re-hospitalization risk and shorter inpatient durations when hospitalized. Additionally, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables appears to promote greater engagement with preventive primary and speciality care among older European adults. Overall, the study highlights dietary behaviour as a potential factor influencing healthcare utilization and expenditures for ageing populations.

Effect of low-carbon coal gangue on the stability and dissolved organic matter characteristics of co-pyrolysis biochar: insights on pyrolysis temperatures and minerals
Authors: Chen Min , Sun Yuan , Peng Yaqi , Han Zhengdong , Chen Guihua , Chen Xiaoyang , Lu Shengyong 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The stability and dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics of biochar have an essential effect on carbon emission and migration and transformation of pollutants. In this work, straw biochar and coal mine waste (coal gangue)-straw co-pyrolysis biochar were produced at 300, 450, and 600 °C. The effects of coal gangue on biochar's stability, carbon structure, and the components of biochar-derived DOM were investigated. The results showed that coal gangue enhanced co-pyrolysis biochar's thermal and chemical stability by 1.16%–8.25% and 39.17%–68.36%, respectively. They also promoted the aromatization process of co-pyrolysis biochar when the pyrolysis temperature increased from 300 to 450 °C. The co-pyrolysis biochar-derived DOM content was lower than biochar-derived DOM by 35.79%–55.52%, indicating that coal gangue inhibited the release of DOM. Moreover, coal gangue increased the humification degree of biochar-derived DOM at low pyrolysis temperatures but accelerated the decomposition of aromatic molecules in biochar-derived DOM at high pyrolysis temperatures. The proportion of low-aromatic humic-like substance increased from 1.28% to 50.87% in biochar-derived DOM but from 1.44% to 88.14% in co-pyrolysis biochar-derived DOM with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Thus, the pyrolysis temperature and coal gangue have a synergistic effect on controlling the stability and DOM characteristics of biochar. Moreover, the synergistic effect of three primary minerals in coal gangue (SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3) is the core mechanisms of impacting the biochar stability and DOM characteristics. This work provides essential information for biochar applications by showing that adding coal gangue can boost the stability of biochar and modify the molecular properties of biochar-derived DOM.

Dark patterns and consumer vulnerability
Authors: Zac Amit , Huang Yu-Chun , von Moltke Amédée , Decker Christopher , Ezrachi Ariel 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Dark patterns that manipulate consumer behaviour are now a pervasive feature of digital markets. Depending on the choice architecture utilised, they can affect the perception, behaviour and purchasing patterns of online consumers. Using a novel empirical design, we find strong evidence that individuals across all groups are susceptible to dark patterns, and only weak evidence that user susceptibility is materially affected by commonly used general proxies for consumer vulnerability (such as income, educational attainment or age). Our conclusions provide empirical support for broad restrictions on the use of dark patterns, such as those contained in the EU’s Digital Services Act, that protect all consumer groups. Our study also finds that added friction, in the form of required payment action following successful deployment of dark patterns, reduces their effectiveness. This insight highlights the instances in which dark patterns would be most effective – when no further action is required by the user. Consumer vulnerability is therefore more pronounced when dealing with online providers who store users’ payment details and can rely on a ‘single click’ to complete the purchase.
From Constitutional Risk Management to Constitutional Risk Management (Emergency Law Misuse) in Hungary
Authors: Gárdos-Orosz Fruzsina , Burján Evelin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The paper offers a comprehensive overview of Hungary’s emergency law and its misuse over the four years since its introduction in March 2020. Hungary serves as a clear example of how a “state of danger” – initially intended as an exceptional legal measure – can become normalised through repeated declarations. The populist government’s continuous use of emergency powers has led to unchecked lawmaking and the manipulation of legal frameworks to advance populist agendas. The article argues that while Hungary’s detailed emergency provisions in the Fundamental Law were intended to serve as a form of constitutional risk management, after four years of living in a permanent “state of danger”, the scholarly debate has shifted to whether this very risk management has itself become the risk. According to emergency law theory, managing constitutional risks is equally vital in the emergency legal order. Yet in Hungary, both the black letter of the law and the constitutional practices observed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic – along with the Ninth Amendment to the Fundamental Law, which introduced a new emergency regime in 2021 – reveal that constitutional risk management has ultimately failed. This is manifest in the erosion of the separation of powers, the weakening of judicial review, and the shrinking of human rights protections. The article substantiates its argument by examining the related constitutional framework and constitutional practice in Hungary between 2020 and 2024.
