Visual merchandising in fashion retail: The diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) perspective
Authors: Sung Jihyun , Yan Ruoh-Nan , Kissell Kevin 
Published: February 2025

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has been at the forefront of many disciplines in recent years. Utilizing three different aspects of visual merchandising in the context of fashion retail, this study investigates the effects of (1) colours of mannequins, (2) sizes of mannequins and (3) the presence of a rainbow flag as signage in a physical store on consumers’ feelings towards the store and related clothing styles, in addition to their perceptions of the store’s commitment to DEI. Using an online survey, data were collected from a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experimental design with 382 responses. Findings suggest that mannequin sizes influenced the participants’ overall feelings towards a store, in addition to mixed interaction effects among mannequin sizes, colours and/or use of a rainbow flag. Discussion and implications are provided.

Introduction:
There are limited data comparing the contamination rates of reusable and novel duodenoscopes with disposable components. The clinical implications of novel duodenoscope bacterial contamination are also unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the rate of pathogenic bacterial contamination of novel and reusable duodenoscopes and assess the clinical implications for patients exposed to contaminated duodenoscopes.

Methods:
We conducted an observational study of the bacterial contamination of reusable duodenoscopes and novel duodenoscopes with disposable caps (which do not have disposable elevators). Following identification of positive cultures from duodenoscopes, corresponding patient charts were reviewed for blood culture data or evidence of sepsis by quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria.

Results:
The contamination rate of reusable duodenoscopes was 0.80% (95% CI -0.05, 1.65%). The contamination rate of novel duodenoscopes was 0.0%.The contamination rates were not significantly different (p = 0.141). In reusable duodenoscopes, > 1 colony-forming unit (CFU) of gram-negative rods was identified in 4 positive cultures. None of the patients exposed to a positive culture had an existing infection nor developed bacteremia or sepsis after ERCP.

Discussion:
Our data suggest bacterial contamination rates of novel duodenoscopes with disposable caps and reusable duodenoscopes are similar. The low contamination rates in this study support consistent high-level disinfection practices regardless of duodenoscope generation.
Management Considerations in a Patient With a Germline CDH1 Pathogenic Variant and a History of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
Authors: Naseem Zehra , Mejia-Perez Lady Katherine , Friedman Kenneth , LaGuardia Lisa , Walsh R. Matthew , Burke Carol A. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
Individuals with a germline pathogenic variant in the CDH1 gene have a lifetime risk of advanced diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) of up to 10.3% and a 37%–52% risk of breast cancer, specifically the lobular subtype. Guidelines recommend prophylactic gastrectomy between ages 18-40 years for those with a family history of DGC. For patients declining surgery or lacking a family history of DGC, annual endoscopic surveillance according to recommended protocols is an alternative. This case reviews the management of a patient with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass followed one year later by a diagnosis of lobular breast cancer due to a germline CDH1 pathogenic variant.

Authors: Tkachuk Bryce , Stukalin Igor , Wang Yinong , Congly Stephen E. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Common sites of metastases include the lungs, regional lymph nodes, bone, and adrenal glands. Although rare, distant metastases to the cervical lymph nodes have been reported. With better therapies for viral hepatitis, there has been a shift in the landscape of chronic liver disease and the development of HCC with rising prevalence of HCC attributable to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. In this study, we describe a case of metastatic HCC presenting as cervical lymphadenopathy in a patient with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in the absence of cirrhosis.
Konvergensi Konsep Retribusi Dan Rehabilitasi Dalam Filsafat Hukum Pidana Kontemporer Indonesia
Authors: Hikmah Faidatul , Agustian Rio Armanda 
Published: February 2025

Abstract This research elaborates on the convergence between retribution and rehabilitation in Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the New Indonesian Penal Code, which transforms the paradigm of criminal law in a holistic and integrative manner. The method used is juridical-philosophical, employing legislative and conceptual approaches to identify the transition process of the punishment concept in Indonesian criminal law. The research results indicate that the concept of retribution has evolved from the tradition of Continental European law to the post-colonial era in Indonesia. The retributive values of the Old Penal Code are no longer relevant to the cultural context of the Indonesian nation. The update of the Penal Code introduces rehabilitative values in a convergence, merging with the pre-existing retributive values to create an eclectic and ideal legal formulation. This aligns with the idea of balancing the values of Pancasila, which seeks proportional implementation between retributive and rehabilitative concepts in achieving substantive justice in Indonesia. Keywords: Retributive; Rehabilitative; Contemporary CriminalAbstrak Penelitian ini mengelaborasi konvergensi antara retribusi dan rehabilitasi dalam UU No. 1 Tahun 2023 tentang KUHP Baru Indonesia yang mentransformasikan paradigma hukum pidana secara holistik dan integratif. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis filosofis dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual untuk menemukan proses transisi konsep pemidanaan dalam hukum pidana di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa konsep retribusi telah berkembang dari tradisi hukum Eropa Kontinental hingga pasca kolonialisme di Indonesia. Nilai-nilai retributif dari KUHP Lama tidak lagi relevasi dengan konteks kultural bangsa Indonesia. Pembaruan KUHP mengintroduksi nilai-nilai rehabilitatif dalam sebuah konvergen, penggabungan dengan nilai-nilai retributif yang sudah ada sebelumnya untuk menghasilkan formulasi hukum yang eklektis dan ideal. Hal ini selaras dengan ide keseimbangan nilai Pancasila yang menghendaki implementasi proporsional antara konsep retributif dengan rehabilitatif dalam menciptakan keadilan yang substansial di Indonesia.

Regulatory Contestability and Cost Pass-Through
Authors: Weisman Dennis L. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Regulatory contestability posits that the threat of economic regulation disciplines pricing even in the absence of explicit regulatory mechanisms (e.g., cost-of-service regulation or price cap regulation). Formal modeling and numerical simulations reveal how regulatory contestability interacts with cost-reducing effort to limit the pass-through of costs. This may suggest that under certain conditions regulatory contestability can substitute for explicit regulatory mechanisms and potentially reduce the cost of regulation.
The condition number associated with ideal lattices from odd prime degree cyclic number fields
Authors: de Araujo Robson Ricardo 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The condition number of a generator matrix of an ideal lattice derived from the ring of integers of an algebraic number field is an important quantity associated with the equivalence between two computational problems in lattice-based cryptography, the “Ring Learning With Errors (RLWE)” and the “Polynomial Learning With Errors (PLWE)”. In this work, we compute the condition number of a generator matrix of the ideal lattice from the whole ring of integers of any odd prime degree cyclic number field using canonical embedding.
Situating speakers in change: a methodology for quantifying degree and direction of change over the lifespan
Authors: Sheard Elena 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Observations of late adopters catching up with early adopters of language change in a community indicate a potential connection between an individual’s earlier linguistic behaviour and their real-time response to language change. This article provides a means of empirically testing whether such a connection exists, for a given change, by introducing a methodology for obtaining measurements of individuals’ position relative to the change at an earlier time point (a “Cohort Index”) and the direction and extent to which they change over time (a “Difference Index”). Trend and panel data from Australians of Greek and Italian background is used to illustrate both indices for F1 and F2 measurements of fleece, a vowel that has undergone change in Australian English in recent decades. Individuals’ positions in the change for fleece as teenagers are revealed to significantly correlate with the direction and extent to which they have moved in the vowel space over a forty-year period. Specifically, speakers who were originally behind in the change for their generational and ethnic cohort have moved in the direction of change over time more than those who were already ahead. The analysis therefore lays the foundation for the Cohort and Difference Indices to be applied elsewhere.

Abstract
We report the first country record of Andersen’s leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros gentilis, and hairy-faced myotis, Myotis annectans from a gorge in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. Additionally, a large colony of dawn bat, Eonycteris spelaea, and grand leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros grandis was found in the gorge which are the second country records. We provided specimen-based evidence by evaluating external and craniodental measurements of recorded bats supplemented with salient morphological features. This study enhances the number of national bat fauna and highlights the importance of continued bat surveys in Bangladesh.
Halogen bonds versus hydrogen bonds in the crystal packing formation of halogen substituted anilines
Authors: Konovalova Irina S. , Reiss Guido J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The regularities of crystal structure organization were studied in a series of para- and ortho-halogenanilines using an approach based on comparison of interaction energies between molecules calculated by an ab initio method. The halogen substituent position in anilines significantly affects intermolecular interactions, differing between para- and ortho-halogen anilines. In para-halogen anilines, the amino group mainly acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, with no significant halogen bonds and weak stacking interactions. In ortho-halogen anilines, the amino group functions as both donor and acceptor, with stronger hydrogen and halogen bonding. Crystal packing analysis shows columnar organization across samples, with zig-zag columns in para-substituted anilines and triple columns in ortho-substituted ones. Overall, halogen bonds play a minor role, mainly connecting neighboring columns.

Представлена система прогноза переноса и трансформации загрязняющих веществ в атмосфере с использованием химико-транспортной модели CHIMERE, учитывающей эмиссии от стационарных, аварийных и подвижных источников. Прогноз метеорологических полей выполнялся с помощью региональной негидростатической модели циркуляции атмосферы высокого разрешения WRF-ARW. Система полностью автоматизирована, что позволяет использовать ее в качестве инструмента для получения оперативной информации в работе ситуационных центров и центров принятия решений в случае аварийных ситуаций на производстве, чрезвычайных ситуаций природного или техногенного характера. Результаты тестирования системы показали ее работоспособность, возможность использования в оперативной и исследовательской работе, а также при разработке сценариев вероятного развития аварийных или чрезвычайных ситуаций в любой точке на территории страны, что способствует реализации мероприятий по ликвидации последствий аварий.
A system has been created for numerical prediction of concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere and their deposition to the ground using the Chimere chemical transport model, which takes into account emissions from stationary, emergency, and mobile sources. The forecast of meteorological fields was carried out using the regional high-resolution non-hydrostatic atmospheric model WRF-ARW. The system is fully automated, which allows it to be used as a tool for quickly obtaining operational information in the work of situation centers and decision-making centers in the cases of industrial, natural, and man-made emergencies. The results of testing the system showed its operability, the possibility of using it in operational and research work, as well as in scenarios of development of emergency situations anywhere in the country and implementation of measures to assess and eliminate the consequences of accidents. The first results of the calculation of atmospheric pollution with the system are presented. They can be considered as test. To obtain statistically reliable results, it is necessary to have longer series of measurements of atmospheric pollution concentrations and of higher resolution.

Представлены результаты сравнительной характеристики фракционного состава приземного аэрозоля в период летней вегетации и зимнего покоя древесных растений бореальной зоны Западной Сибири. Приведена статистика распределения аэрозольных частиц по размерам во время летней вегетации и зимнего покоя древесных растений на обсерватории «Фоновая» СО РАН (Томская область) в период с 01.07.2022 г. по 30.06.2023 г. Анализ соотношений аэрозольных фракций выявил парадоксальную ситуацию: счетная концентрация аэрозольных частиц диаметром 0,3-2,0 мкм оказалась существенно выше зимой, чем летом. Предложена феноменологическая модель, описывающая данный эффект как проявление сил радиометрической природы.
The article presents statistics on the distribution of aerosol particles during the summer vegetation and winter dormancy of woody plants at the size Fonovaya observatory of the IAO SB RAS (Tomsk Region) from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. The analysis of the ratios of aerosol fractions revealed a paradoxical situation, where the count concentration of aerosol particles 0.3-2.0 mm diameter turned out to be significantly higher in winter than in summer. A phenomenological model is suggested which describes this effect as a manifestation of the action of radiometric forces.

Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVES
Nonnutritive breastfeeding (NNBF) benefits preterm infants younger than 34 weeks’ gestational age (GA), but it is often delayed in those on noninvasive respiratory support. Our primary aim was to reduce the mean number of days to NNBF by 50% in infants born at less than 34 weeks’ and more than 30 weeks’ corrected GA within a 12-month period. Our global aim was to increase provision of human milk at discharge.

METHODS
This 1-year quality improvement (QI) initiative involved a multidisciplinary team employing a key driver diagram, fishbone analysis, and “Wee Nuzzle” guidelines, implemented through Plan–Do–Study–Act cycles. The first cycle focused on training health care providers, the second on integrating NNBF into medical progress notes, and the third on incorporating NNBF into the electronic medical record (EMR). Data were collected using EMR and the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative database.

RESULTS
The initiative achieved its Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound (SMART) aim, reducing the mean time to first NNBF by 66%, from 12.0 to 4.1 days. Additionally, the global aim of increasing human milk provision at discharge improved from 59% to 72%.

CONCLUSION
This QI initiative effectively reduced the time to first NNBF attempt and increased human milk provision at discharge. Ongoing assessment of human milk exposure post-neonatal intensive care unit discharge is needed.

AbstractThe main problem in incorporating probiotics to hurdle matrix of foodstuffs is mitigation of viable count in the gastrointestinal tract. This study investigated the effects of various dairy matrices (sterilised milk, doogh, UF cheese, and yoghurt) on the viability of different probiotics under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The results showed that the highest and the lowest viability in milk were related to Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium lactis, respectively. In doogh samples, no significant difference was observed. In cheese, the highest viability was observed in Lactobacillus acidophilus followed by Bifidobacterium longum, and L. paracasei. The viability of probiotics in yoghurt was less than in cheese and control treatment. These results indicated that milk and doogh are efficient delivery matrices for carrying probiotic cells.
Either templatic or harmonic
Authors: Rebrus Péter , Szigetvári Péter 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIn addition to the common concatenative morphological system of Hungarian, there is a smaller portion of word forms that are templatic. These words satisfy requirements on their phonological shape. We here examine constraints on the number of syllables in templatic word forms. We observe that while the vowels in concatenative forms typically harmonize in backness (and in a more limited way also rounding), the vowels in nominal templatic forms often do not. On the other hand, the vowels in verbal templatic forms do harmonize. Furthermore, truncation is applied to satisfy the limit on word size in nominals, but truncation is generally not available as a repair for templatic verbal forms. We model our observations by a subsumption hierarchy of morphological layers: a concatenative layer, a (vowel) harmony layer, and a (stem) integrity layer.

Abstract
Near-field technology is increasingly recognized due to its transformative potential in communication systems, establishing it as a critical enabler for sixth-generation (6G) telecommunication development. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of recent advancements in near-field technology research. First, we explore the near-field propagation fundamentals by detailing definitions, transmission characteristics, and performance analysis. Next, we investigate various near-field channel models—deterministic, stochastic, and electromagnetic information theory based models, and review the latest progress in near-field channel testing, highlighting practical performance and limitations. With evolving channel models, traditional mechanisms such as channel estimation, beamtraining, and codebook design require redesign and optimization to align with near-field propagation characteristics. We then introduce innovative beam designs enabled by near-field technologies, focusing on non-diffractive beams (such as Bessel and Airy) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, addressing both hardware architectures and signal processing frameworks, showcasing their revolutionary potential in near-field communication systems. Additionally, we highlight progress in both engineering and standardization, covering the primary 6G spectrum allocation, enabling technologies for near-field propagation, and network deployment strategies. Finally, we conclude by identifying promising future research directions for near-field technology development that could significantly impact system design. This comprehensive review provides a detailed understanding of the current state and potential of near-field technologies.
