Authors: Parul Parul , Joseph Bindu , Datta Sunil , Rahman Muhammad Aziz 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The attitude of psychiatrists plays a crucial role in screening and supporting smoking cessation, especially with people with serious mental illness (SMI). The development of an attitude scale can improve the success of quitting among people with SMI. This study aimed to develop and test the psychometric properties of psychiatrists’ attitudes toward smoking cessation support (PATSS). Based on the literature review, the attitude scale, which comprised 15 items, was developed and tested with 289 psychiatrists. The tool’s psychometric properties were tested by examining item performance, content and construct validity (by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability. The content validity was demonstrated by content validity ratio (CVR) (0.80) and item content validity index (ICVI) (0.88). Both EFA and CFA identified four factors: Priority and Time Commitment, Recovery Impact and Training, Social Support and Patient Factors, and Coping Mechanisms and Rights. A Cronbach alpha of (0.81) demonstrated high internal consistency. PATSS was found to be a valid and reliable tool to assess the attitude of psychiatrists towards smoking cessation support provided to people with SMI.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Evaluate the impact of extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) on postrelease criminal justice contact and substance use among individuals with opioid use disorder in correctional settings.

Methods
A randomized waitlist-controlled trial was conducted. The treatment group (n = 47) received XR-NTX shortly before release, and the comparison group (n = 47) was put on a waitlist for treatment at six months post-release. Outcomes were measured at 3 and 6 months post-release and included new arrests, parole revocations, reincarceration, and positive drug tests. Data were analyzed using t-tests and Kaplan–Meier survival estimates.

Results
At 3 months post-release, the treatment group had marginally fewer parole revocations. At 6 months, there were no significant differences in criminal justice or substance use outcomes, though the treatment group had fewer positive drug tests and a longer time to first positive drug test.

Conclusions
There is limited evidence that XR-NTX reduces poor criminal justice and substance use outcomes.
Spillover effects in environmental behaviors: a scoping review about its antecedents, behaviors, and consequences
Authors: Behn Oliver , Wichmann Johannes , Leyer Michael , Schilling Angelina 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Research on environmental spillover, the phenomenon where engaging in one environmental behavior (EB) influences the likelihood of engaging in another EB, has expanded, introducing various theories and predictors to explain it. This study provides an overview and synthesis of the examined antecedents, behaviors, and consequences in environmental spillover research, while also identifying key gaps and shortcomings in the literature. Additionally, we propose a conceptual framework to guide future studies in this domain. We conducted a scoping review using Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and Web of Science databases with keywords related to “pro-environmental behavior” and “spillover”. From 610 identified records, 81 studies were included in the final analysis. Environmental spillovers are predominantly studied in consumerism (e.g., buying reusable bags) and domestic behaviors (e.g., conserving energy at home). Behavioral spillovers (n = 68) are more frequently examined than temporal (n = 10) and contextual spillovers (n = 10). Research on consequences has mainly focused on promoting (n = 67) or permitting (n = 27) spillovers, with purging (n = 6) and precipitating (n = 3) spillovers being less explored. Concerning antecedents, we identified nine categories of internal factors (“efficacy beliefs”, “normative beliefs”, “moral values”, “environmental self-identity”, “environmental consciousness”, “personality and lifestyle”, “self-focused emotions”, “moral licensing thoughts”, “workplace perception”) and two categories of external factors (“characteristics of EB”, “intervention characteristics”) in the literature. Our review highlights not only research gaps but also methodological shortcomings, particularly the over-reliance on everyday EB, and the use of homogeneous samples. Significant gaps remain in the study of (I) high-cost behaviors, (II) long-term spillover effects, (III) organizational behavior settings, and (IV) spillovers from anti-environmental behaviors.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains a challenging cancer type due to its resistance to standard treatments. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has the potential to activate anti-tumor immunity, presenting a promising avenue for ccRCC therapies.

Methods
We analyzed data from GSE29609, TCGA-KIRC, and GSE159115 to identify ICD-related prognostic genes in ccRCC. By applying consensus clustering, patients were categorized based on ICD modification patterns, and an ICD signature (ICDS) model was developed using a PCA approach. Functional studies were conducted with FOXP3 knockdown in ccRCC cell lines to explore its impact on cell behavior.

Results
Eleven ICD-related genes were identified as key prognostic indicators in ccRCC, with high ICDS linked to worse survival outcomes. High ICDS also correlated with increased levels of immune-suppressive cells within the tumor microenvironment. FOXP3 was highlighted as a critical gene influencing ICD, where its knockdown significantly reduced ccRCC cell proliferation and migration, underscoring its role in tumor progression.

Conclusions
This study establishes FOXP3 as a pivotal factor in ICD regulation and ccRCC progression. Targeting FOXP3 and other ICD pathways could enhance treatment efficacy in ccRCC, providing a foundation for ICD-based therapeutic strategies. Evaluating ICD patterns in ccRCC may guide patient-specific interventions, paving the way for improved management of this aggressive cancer.
Thirty Years on from Sinclair: A Scoping Review of Neurodiversity Definitions and Conceptualisations in Empirical Research
Authors: McLennan Helen , Aberdein Rachel , Saggers Beth , Gillett-Swan Jenna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A review of research is beneficial in contributing to the debate about neurodiversity conceptualisation. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify how neurodiversity has been defined and conceptualised in empirical research. A scoping review of research featuring neurodiversity as a central focus was conducted, accessing 10 databases. Key concepts related to neurodiversity were collated from 46 articles, and a constant comparative analysis was used to generate results. Results position neurodiversity as natural human variation alongside a further seven categories. These results were compared to theoretical work and early principles of neurodiversity, particularly those introduced by Jim Sinclair 30 years ago. While some consensus in the field exists, contrasts and debate remain, particularly regarding the alignment of neurodiversity with disability models.
A new boundary element model for magneto-thermo-elastic stress sensitivities in anisotropic functionally graded materials
Authors: Fahmy Mohamed Abdelsabour 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A computational model using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is developed to analyze magneto-thermo-elastic stress sensitivity in nonlinear time-dependent anisotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) via conduction and radiation mechanisms. The concept is demonstrated on a nonlinear time-dependent anisotropic functionally graded material which has been submerged in a uniform principal magnetic field emanating in the

-direction. A numerical strategy for method implementation for plane deformation is described, along with numerical computations for temperature, displacement, and thermal stress. First, the Kirchhoff transformation partially linearizes the heat conduction equation. The resultant equation was then discretized with the DRBEM. The heat radiation integral equation has been discretized using the DRBEM. The consequent two equation systems have been connected by removing the radiative heat fluxes from each set. The temperature field was determined by solving the final system of ordinary differential equations using a self-adaptive technique based on the Runge–Kutta method. The displacement field can then be determined with the equation of motion. The validity of DRBEM is checked by evaluating a nonlinear time-dependent anisotropic functionally graded material occupying a rectangular region, and the results agree well with previous ones. The data clearly reveal the impact of magnetic fields on the thermal stress sensitivity of isotropic, transversely isotropic, and orthotropic materials. The results also reveal the influence of graded parameters on the magneto-thermo-elastic stress sensitivity in conduction when compared to radiation.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for understanding and mitigating the impact of pervasive uncertainties in engineering systems, playing a crucial role in modern engineering practice. As engineering products grow increasingly complex and the demand for highly accurate UQ results intensifies, the need for efficient UQ methods has become paramount. Recently, machine learning (ML) techniques, including Gaussian process regression, artificial neural networks, physics-informed neural networks, and many others, have garnered significant attention in both theoretical research and practical applications. The exceptional capability of ML methods to address highly complex problems has positioned them as leading solutions for UQ challenges. This work provides a comprehensive survey of recent advancements in ML-assisted UQ approaches, covering ML techniques for forward UQ analysis, inverse UQ analysis, fault diagnosis, resilience assessment, and management planning. The most prominent and effective ML techniques such as the physics-informed, physics-guided, physics-enhanced, physics-corrected, and physics-constrained approaches, along with advanced strategies and frameworks, are thoroughly reviewed and summarized. Additionally, this paper discusses the challenges facing the field and outlines potential directions for future research. This work serves as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers seeking an in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art ML approaches to UQ tasks of engineering systems.
Estimated Values of Avoiding Cancer Risks by Cancer Site and Population

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this paper, we present a standardized approach for using cancer incidence and survival data to account for the timing between a reduction in carcinogen exposure and the subsequent reduction in cancer risk and fatality. While the estimates for this timing between a reduction in carcinogen exposure and reduced cancer risk would ideally come from high-quality studies specifically examining this question, very few such studies are available. Thus, we designed an approach to account for this timing when sufficient data are not available elsewhere. Our approach can be used in estimating monetized values for achieving small reductions in the risks for many common specific types of cancer in benefit–cost analyses of regulatory and non-regulatory policies in the United States that achieve cancer risk reductions by reducing carcinogen exposures. We provide estimated values for 108 different cancer sites and for all cancer sites combined. We accompany this paper with a spreadsheet-based tool that presents our results separately for non-fatal and fatal risks so that results can easily be calculated using different combinations of discount rates, latency between carcinogen exposure and cancer diagnosis, values for the willingness-to-pay to avoid fatal and non-fatal cancer risks, and potentially affected populations.
Caring for Everyone: Effective and Inclusive Communication in Perinatal Care
Authors: Cull Matthew J. , Holroyd Jules , Woollard Fiona 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We advance a novel approach to gender inclusive language, showing how it can be used in perinatal and postnatal care. Existing attempts to use language inclusive of trans and non-binary parents have faced objections, prompting calls to use trans-exclusionary “sexed” language as a default (Gribble et al. 2022). We show that these objections attach only to some unsatisfactory attempts at inclusive language. We articulate the moral and communicative goals at stake, and then work through a range of examples to show that no single linguistic strategy can meet these goals in all contexts. A pluralistic approach is needed. Our pluralistic approach draws on gender neutral, gender additive, and second-person locutions, as well as taking advantage of the possibility for multiple targeted communications. Moreover, this pluralistic approach highlights the gaps in research and understanding needed to ensure substantively inclusive care in future.
‘As long as I know technology, I am fine’

Abstract
Market-driven neoliberal ideology advocates for the adoption of English as the common business language by multinational companies; however, this often clashes with multilingual realities. This study explores how neoliberal ideologies have made English a catalyst for language-related conflicts within language management across various stages at a Shanghai-based subsidiary of a German multinational corporation. Data for this research was gathered via a seven-month ethnographic study and includes analysis of publicly accessible documents from the company's website, meeting transcripts, ethnographic notes, and semi-structured interviews with five local employees. Qualitative data analysis identified conflicts in the company's recruitment process, daily business communication, and language support services. Conflicting language management created communicative barriers and limited local employees’ engagement in the company's business affairs. Through a neoliberal lens, the findings highlight that when neoliberal English dominance encounters multilingual realities, the latter may undermine the efficiency and profitability central to neoliberal objectives. It is concluded that a reinterpreting of the neoliberal agenda is important for both policy makers and local employees to reconfigure neoliberal subjectivity, alongside measures to empower local employees’ linguistic and epistemic resources to facilitate their full participation in corporate affairs.
Bad Infrastructure, Good Craic: Affective Transformation at Irish Traditional Music Festivals in the Catskills
Authors: Jones Samantha 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Each year, twice a year, musicians flock to the Catskill Mountain hamlet of East Durham, New York, transforming this otherwise sleepy town into a bustling site of music, dancing, and parties. East Durham is home to multiple Irish cultural festivals a year, but two stand out for their focus on Irish traditional music: the Catskills Irish Arts Week and the Northeast Tionól. These festivals, affectionately referred to collectively as “the Catskills,” are curious in their allure. Sprawled across a three-mile stretch of rural highway, most festival facilities are rundown and date to the heyday of the region in the first half of the twentieth century, when East Durham was an enclave of Irish American resort vacationers. Dotting the side of the road are more vacant and dilapidated buildings than there are in use. Yet, musicians attend each year with fervor, citing both the difficulties of the location and its pleasurable potentials as core to the “Catskills” experience. Drawing upon ethnographic observations and interviews, I examine this affective ambivalence and how it is structured by sensory qualities unique to the physical geography and infrastructure of the Catskill Mountains. Though these sensory experiences are characterized with a negative valence, they generate positive musical experiences, creative production, and deep sociality. I argue that this affective transformation occurs because the sensational features of the Catskills provoke reflexive encounters among musicians that resonate with and amplify values central to Irish traditional music making.
Compact eight-channel diplexer based on quad-mode stepped impedance resonator
Authors: Song Kaijun , Fang Lele , Li Qian , Fan Yong 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A compact microstrip eight-channel diplexer based on quad-mode stepped impedance resonator (QMSIR) is proposed in this paper. The proposed diplexer is composed by two second-order quad-band bandpass filters (BPFs) and common-port distributed coupling matching circuit. Each quad-band BPF is formed by two coupled-QMSIRs controlling the passband characteristics. By introducing multiple coupling paths between input and output ports, the isolation between the eight channels is performed. For demonstration, an eight-channel diplexer based on QMSIR is designed and fabricated with microstrip technology. The use of the QMSIR can lead to significant size reduction for the multiplexer, this is because the required resonator number is reduced. As a result, the diplexer occupies a compact size of 0.083λ2, which is smaller than most of the eight-channel diplexers that have been proposed. And the 3 dB fractional bandwidth is 97% (2.5–7.2 GHz). Measurement results correlate well with the simulated predictions, showing that a good isolation of better than 20 dB and upper stopband of better than 10 dB.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Assessment of occupational exoskeletons should ideally include longitudinal and multistage studies in real working scenarios to prove their effectiveness and sustainability in real in-field contexts and to help generalize the findings for specific scenarios. This work presents a comprehensive assessment methodology implemented as a multistage experimental campaign for rail industry workers using a back-support exoskeleton (StreamEXO). This work demonstrates that a sector/task-specific exoskeleton developed to address work task-specific requirements generates beneficial performance and user experience results. The experimental work in this paper involves collecting data from nine workers over multiple days of testing. During this testing, workers did not report hindrances to their work operations, with an acceptance rate of 86%. In addition, worker fatigue was reduced by 16.9% as measured through metabolic consumption, and 51% when assessed by perceived effort. This work supports the hypothesis that sector/task-specific exoskeletons when tailored to meet the needs of workers and the work tasks can produce demonstrable benefits in real industrial sectors.
Warmer Climate Reduces the Carbon Storage, Stability and Saturation Levels in Forest Soils

Published: January 2025

AbstractForest soils store about one‐fifth of the global terrestrial biosphere carbon stock. However, our understanding of how soil geochemical, plant and microbial factors regulate forest soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, stability, and saturation levels remains limited. Here, we conducted a sampling campaign across a 5000‐km natural forest transect in China, measuring climate, geochemical factors and SOC fractions with varying stability. Additionally, we compiled a global data set of SOC fractions in major forest biomes. Our field survey and global synthesis consistently demonstrate that warmer climates not only reduce the content of labile particle organic matter (POM), but also decrease the typically stable mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM), leading to a significant decline in total soil carbon storage. Additionally, warmer climates promote the crystallization of Fe/Al oxides, which decreases the formation efficiency of Fe/Al oxide associated organic complexes. Consequently, the mineralogical carbon saturation level declines from boreal forests (37%) to tropical forests (25%). Our findings underscore that, beyond the well‐established climate impacts, soil geochemical properties play a pivotal role in shaping forest SOC composition and saturation levels across latitudes. This highlights that colder regions harbor larger and more stable carbon pools, and that ongoing climate warming and associated soil geochemical properties shift could potentially lead to a decline in soil carbon storage and its capacity to mitigate climate change.
