Authors: Azarmi Fardad , Grabowski Theresa , McDonnell Martin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Recently, laser deposition technologies have made significant advancements in their ability to manufacture high-temperature metals and ceramics. One of these technologies, known as laser direct energy deposition (LDED), has the potential to deposit a wide range of materials from polymers to refractory materials, ceramics and functionally graded materials. This study evaluates major microstructural characteristics of WC-17 Co additively manufactured by LDED technology. A LDED-manufactured WC-Co sample was examined by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) experiment was also performed to validate results obtained from XRD test. This material is commonly used for deposition of protective coatings due to its high hardness and excellent wear resistance. To this end, hardness and wear resistance of the LDED-processed samples were also investigated in this study. All the tests were also repeated on high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF)-deposited WC-Co with the same composition for the purpose of comparison. LDED sample showed slightly higher porosity (~4%) compared to the HVOF one (~3%). Both samples experience decomposition of the carbides into compound phases as indicated by XRD results. EBSD test results also confirmed the ones obtained from XRD and detected WC, Co, W2C, and W3Co3C in both samples while some more complex phases such as W9Co3C4 was found in LDED sample. The LDED-deposited sample also displays unique dendritic and eutectic structures that improve the hardness and wear properties compared to the homogenous HVOF coating instead of higher porosity level. The higher wear resistance of LDED sample is also associated with its higher hardness.

Abstract
Introduction: Disciplinary practices significantly impact adolescent behavior and mental health. This study aimed to identify discipline profiles reported by Mexican adolescents, examine sociodemographic factors associated with these profiles, and analyze their relationship with mental health outcomes, including depressive symptoms, suicide attempts, and alcohol use. Methods: Data were analyzed from the 2021 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT), including 3,373 adolescents (mean age = 13.42; 49.6% female) from various Mexican regions. Latent class analysis identified disciplinary patterns. Associations between sociodemographic variables and disciplinary profiles were examined using multinomial logistic regression. Logistic and linear regressions assessed the relationships between disciplinary practices and mental health outcomes. Results: Three disciplinary profiles were identified: low disciplinary control, non-physical disciplinary control, and coercive/physical disciplinary control. Adolescents living with their mothers or whose mothers had higher educational levels were more likely to experience non-physical discipline than low disciplinary control. Those living with their mother also had a higher probability of experiencing coercive/physical discipline. On the other hand, older adolescents evidenced a decreased likelihood of coercive/physical discipline. Both non-physical and coercive/physical discipline were associated with higher depressive symptoms, increased alcohol consumption and a higher likelihood of suicide attempts compared to low disciplinary control. Conclusions: The study highlights the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of disciplinary practices among Mexican adolescents. It underscores the negative mental health impacts of coercive disciplinary methods, emphasizing the need for interventions promoting healthier disciplinary practices to improve adolescent well-being.

Abstract

Purpose
To evaluate the performance of the Duke clinical criteria of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC; 2015 and 2023 versions) and the 2023 International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) in diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) among patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by pathogens introduced for the first time as typical microorganisms by ISCVID.

Methods
Retrospective study.

Setting
This study included adult patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by such pathogens (coagulase negative staphylococci, Abiotrophia spp., Gemella spp., and Granulicatella spp., Cutibacterium. acnes, Corynebacterium striatum, C. jeikeium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and Candida spp.) hospitalized at Lausanne University Hospital. Episodes were classified as IE by two expert clinicians.

Results
Among 463 episodes with bacteraemia/candidaemia by such pathogens, IE was diagnosed in 63 episodes (14%). IE prevalence was 17% among episodes with bacteraemia by Staphylococcus lugdunensis or Abiotrophia spp. No case of IE was identified among Granulicatella spp. and Gemella spp. bacteraemias. Among 113 episodes with intracardiac prosthetic material, IE prevalence was 51% in episodes with bacteraemia by S. epidermidis. Sensitivity for the 2015 Duke-ESC, 2023 Duke-ISCVID, and the 2023 Duke-ESC clinical criteria was calculated at 5%, 57%, and 8%, respectively. More episodes were classified as possible IE by the 2023 Duke-ISCVID (30%) compared to 2015 Duke-ESC (13%) and 2023 Duke-ESC (16%) clinical criteria.

Conclusion
The 2023 ISCVID version demonstrated superior sensitivity compared to both 2015 and 2023 Duke-ESC in diagnosing IE caused by new typical microorganisms, compared to the other criteria, albeit an increase in cases being classified as possible IE.

Abstract
Dengue is the most common arboviral disease globally. It is caused by four distinct but closely related Dengue viruses (DENV-1, -2, -3, and − 4) transmitted through bites of infected Aedes species mosquito vectors. In the last 50 years, incidence has increased 30-fold with increasing geographic expansion to new countries. Here we report the most important autochthonous Dengue epidemic in Italy ever recorded with a total of 86 confirmed cases occurring in September 2024 in Fano. They were caused by DENV-2. They were 61 Dengue fever, 21 Dengue with warning signs and no cases of severe Dengue. Our data underline the importance of considering Dengue not only as imported disease and rapidly testing all those patients with suggestive clinical pictures even if they have no travel history.

Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of differential reinforcement of other behavior and self-monitoring in reducing challenging behavior among sixteen male inmates in an Italian prison. A multiple baseline design across groups was used to evaluate changes in property destruction, self-injury, and aggression. Results indicated a substantial reduction in these targeted behaviors across all participants. Social validity measures indicated improved inmate perception of their quality of life and interactions with others in the prison.
Novel Apexification Procedure as a Biotic Treatment Approach Using Amniotic Membrane Matrix and Biodentin Obturation for Immature Permanent Teeth: Case Series with Review of Literature
Authors: Roma M. , Hegde Shreya 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Regenerative therapy’s primary goal in endodontics is to revitalize the pulpo-dentinal system of immature permanent dental teeth in order to permanently seal the gaping apex of the tooth’s root end and complete the root’s growth. Apexification is a process employed in teeth with diseased pulps to preserve an apical development of a root that is still developing or to form a mineralized barrier in a root that has an open apex. Biodentine is an adaptable substance that can support thin dentinal walls and help achieve apical closure, enhancing overall prognosis and maintaining natural dentition. Amnion membrane contains growth factors that promote regeneration and epithelization.

Methodology
In this paper, cases of nonvital permanent tooth with an immature apex received treatment for the apexification process. Standard endodontic therapy was started after rubber dam isolation and under local anesthesia. Access cavities were prepared. ProTaper hand files up to size F3 were used for the cleaning and shaping process. For a duration of 2 weeks, two applications of calcium hydroxide dressing were applied to the root canals along with 3% sodium hypochlorite irrigation. At the subsequent appointment, the calcium hydroxide dressing was removed. The canals were dried using paper points, and then an amniotic membrane (Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India) plug was placed at the apex. The canal was filled with sterile cotton and temporized for 2 weeks. Following this, the entire root canal was obturated with Biodentin. Final restoration was done at subsequent visit with composite resin.

Results
Three cases with permanent immature teeth with open apices were treated in which all the protocols of the apexification procedure were followed. All the 3 cases treated showed signs of healing both clinically and radiographically.

Conclusion
Amniotic membrane is considered as one of the regenerative materials for the apexification procedure which helps in the closure of open apices within a span of 2 weeks. This membrane is considered as a viable option for the apexification of immature teeth without any adverse effects.
Mechanical behavior, microstructural evolution and texture analysis of AA2024-T351 processed by multi-layer friction surfacing with high build rates
Authors: Hoffmann Marius , Roos Arne , Klusemann Benjamin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Solid-state additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as multi-layer friction surfacing (MLFS) can overcome typical disadvantages of fusion-based AM such as high residual stresses, porosity or hot cracking. The tool-less process setup of MLFS prevents contamination of the resulting components, e.g., caused by wear or the use of lubricants. The present study investigates MLFS for the precipitation-hardenable alloy AA2024-T3 using a process parameter that yields a high build rate relevant for industrial applications. The fatigue performance is shown and the microstructural and the mechanical anisotropy is examined. The fatigue properties in deposition direction show a high cycle fatigue limit of 170.5 MPa and a decrease in the maximum stress level compared to the base material due to precipitate overageing. The microstructure shows a Brass

shear textures were observed at the top part of the deposited layers. An elongated grain morphology with aspect ratios above 2 is present over the entire layer height. These microstructural characteristics cause anisotropy in mechanical properties, with highest ultimate tensile strength and elongation in deposition direction, i.e., 408 ± 5 MPa and 18 ± 3 % respectively, and the lowest values along the build direction, i.e., 377 ± 21 MPa and 9 ± 3 % respectively. The observed behavior is of considerable importance for the industrial design and application of components manufactured with MLFS as they show that MLFS can also result in anisotropic material properties, depending on the chosen process parameters. It requires careful selection of the right combination of stud material and process parameters to achieve isotropic properties in the deposited structure.
Asymptotic expansion of the invariant measure for Markov-modulated ODEs at high frequency
Authors: Monmarché Pierre , Strickler Edouard 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We consider time-inhomogeneous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) whose parameters are governed by an underlying ergodic Markov process. When this underlying process is accelerated by a factor

$\varepsilon^{-1}$

, an averaging phenomenon occurs and the solution of the ODE converges to a deterministic ODE as

$\varepsilon$

vanishes. We are interested in cases where this averaged flow is globally attracted to a point. In that case, the equilibrium distribution of the solution of the ODE converges to a Dirac mass at this point. We prove an asymptotic expansion in terms of

$\varepsilon$

for this convergence, with a somewhat explicit formula for the first-order term. The results are applied in three contexts: linear Markov-modulated ODEs, randomized splitting schemes, and Lotka–Volterra models in a random environment. In particular, as a corollary, we prove the existence of two matrices whose convex combinations are all stable but are such that, for a suitable jump rate, the top Lyapunov exponent of a Markov-modulated linear ODE switching between these two matrices is positive.
THE MELANCHOLIA OF RADIGUEAN AESTHETICS
Authors: Mackenzie Michelle Helene 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article undertakes a Kleinian analysis of the early feedback works of Éliane Radigue. By reading the melancholic nature of these works – their fixation on the ‘lost objects’ of recorded sound, and the self-recursivity of their feedback techniques – as sonically generative rather than merely mournful, I argue that Radigue's feedback works transcend the signifying order of much elegiac music, offering a distinct intervention and epistemology within the history of musique concrète, electronic music and the sonic arts.
HISTORICISATION AND RUPTURE: ÉLIANE RADIGUE'S OCCAM OCÉAN
Authors: Osmun Douglas 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe practice surrounding Éliane Radigue's Occam Océan works may be read as a new form of work concept, one which poses a productive contradiction against the work concept as it has been (and in some cases has been forgotten) and the work concept as we experience it today. Occam Océan poses a challenge to conventional conceptual understandings on many fronts, namely the practice's lack of notation; its collaborative creation; its particular structural criteria; its contingent, iterative and combinatorial manifestations; and, perhaps most significantly, its social reinscription within bodies. By historicising her work against the established work concept structures and identifying how its qualities create friction against them, Radigue's music is shown to create a small rupture at the heart of the concept itself, demonstrating the possibility of establishing radically alternative practices of music exchange and discourse.
REPETITIVE MODELS IN TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY MUSIC: TEMPORALITY AND EXPRESSION
Authors: İncirlioğlu Füsun Köksal 
Published: January 2025

AbstractUnlike the pointillist-serial aesthetics of the mid-twentieth century, contemporary music employs narrative strategies that stimulate listeners to form mental constructs. This involves using the potential of mid-level formal units to establish orientation points for the listener, exploring two repetitive models (deadlocked time and frozen time) that emerge as discrete building blocks from the current cognitive-theoretical perspective. Through analogical thinking, this article seeks to explain the potential references of these repetition-occurrences towards a temporal suspension and provides multiple examples based on selected passages from Ivan Fedele (b. 1953), Matthias Pintscher (b. 1971), Gérard Pesson (b. 1958), Unsuk Chin (b. 1961) and Michael Jarrell (b. 1958). This inquiry suggests an apprehension capable of bringing an expressive stand to the forefront. It also scrutinises how cognitive approaches revolving around analogical thinking can be employed extensively in the analysis of post-tonal music.
The concept of sustainable development in investment arbitration: A disconnect from investment policymaking and international adjudication
Authors: Marcoux Jean-Michel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Amidst initiatives and international agreements that call for a stronger consideration of sustainable development in international investment law, there is a need to assess whether the concept has found its way in decisions rendered by investment arbitration tribunals. References to the concept of sustainable development in investment arbitration can eventually make the adjudication of investment disputes more consistent with an increasingly important aspect of the context in which the terms of international investment agreements are embedded. Have arbitration tribunals acknowledged the relevance of the concept of sustainable development when adjudicating international investment disputes? To answer this question, this article adopts an exploratory research design and relies on a content analysis of 91 decisions that include at least one reference to the term ‘sustainable development’. It argues that the use of sustainable development by tribunals is both marginal and problematic, thus showing a strong disconnect from efforts deployed in investment policymaking and international adjudication. The article proceeds in three steps. First, it focuses on international initiatives encouraging the consideration of sustainable development in investment policymaking. Second, it briefly explores the reliance on sustainable development that has emerged in international adjudication, outside investment arbitration. Third, by analysing express references to sustainable development in international investment arbitration, it shows that these decisions demonstrate a general lack of engagement with the concept in the tribunals’ findings and a failure to fully acknowledge its integrative nature.
Eighty-five Percent of Menu Items from the Six Highest Selling Fast-food Restaurants in the United States are Ultra-processed

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective:
While fast-food is typically considered highly processed, an analysis to demonstrate this has yet to be conducted. Therefore, the objective of this research was to examine the menu items and ingredients from six fast-food restaurant menus using the NOVA Classification.

Design:
Cross-sectional study.

Setting:
Data were collected from the top six highest selling United States restaurants, per each food category, identified using the Quick Service and Fast Casual Restaurants (QSR) 2020 Report.

Participants:
A total of 740 menu items were identified and classified according to their degree of processing based on ingredient lists using the NOVA Classification: Minimally Processed (MPF), Culinary Processed Ingredient (CPF), Processed (PRF), or Ultra-processed (UPF). In addition, individual ingredients that appeared on at least three menus were classified into NOVA groups, and the 20 most common ingredients were identified based on frequency of appearance in ingredient lists.

Results:
Across all menus, 85% (Range: 70-94%) of items were UPFs with only 11% (Range: 6-25%) being MPF (p<0.001). Additionally, 46% of the ingredients that appeared on at least three menus were ultra-processed ingredients. Three ultra-processed ingredients appeared on all six menus: natural flavors, xanthan gum, and citric acid.

Conclusions:
These findings show that the vast majority of menu items from major fast-food restaurants are UPFs and there are few options for MPFs. Fast-food companies should consider reformulation or the addition of MPF to the menu to increase healthful food options for their patrons.

Abstract

Objective
To characterize food group consumption, assess the contribution of food groups to energy and micronutrient intake, and estimate usual nutrient intake among adults in rural Sri Lanka.

Design
A baseline survey (Dec 2020–Feb 2021) was conducted as part of an agriculture-based, nutrition-sensitive resilience program evaluation. Dietary intake was assessed using telephone-based 24-hour recalls (n=1283), with repeat recalls from 769 participants. Mean daily intake of food groups and their contribution to energy and nutrient intakes were calculated. The National Cancer Institute method was used to estimate usual intakes and the prevalence of adequate micronutrient intake (PAI). Differences by sex, district, and wealth were assessed using t-tests and ANOVA.

Setting
Forty-five rural villages throughout Sri Lanka.

Participants
Men and women from households in the program evaluation study area.

Results
On average, grains and coconut milk provided 56% and 12% of energy, respectively. Rice, fish, dairy, and pulses were the primary sources of micronutrients. Participants consumed 118±117g vegetables and 71±243g fruit per day. PAI was <25% for calcium; zinc; niacin; folate; and vitamins B6, B12, and C, reflecting low consumption of animal-source foods (ASF; 80 g/day), whole grains, fruits, and vegetables (F&V). Significant differences in food group consumption by sociodemographic subgroup were observed among districts and wealth quintiles.

Conclusions
We observed high consumption of rice and coconut milk and low prevalence of micronutrient adequacy. We recommend increasing ASF, whole grain, and F&V consumption to close nutrient gaps, as well as research to identify effective solutions to increase micronutrient intake.
