Kikuchi disease in acute leukaemia: a distinct clinical syndrome with HLA association
Authors: Yu Shan‐Chi , Lin Ming‐En 
Published: January 2024

AimsTo report the clinicopathological features of Kikuchi disease in patients with acute leukaemia, emphasising similarities among cases.Methods and resultsIn a cohort of 454 Kikuchi disease patients, we identified three cases of concurrent acute leukaemia. These patients shared similar clinical traits, with Kikuchi disease emerging approximately a month after induction chemotherapy onset, featuring neck‐region lymphadenopathy. Notably, two patients were middle‐aged, deviating from the typical age distribution of Kikuchi disease. Histologically, these cases aligned with typical Kikuchi disease. Negative immunohistochemical stains (CD34, CD117, ERG, TdT) indicated the absence of extramedullary leukaemic infiltration. Herpes simplex virus immunohistochemical staining was also negative. Significantly, a human leucocyte antigen (HLA) association was observed in these three cases. HLA‐B*15:01, C*04:01, and DRB1*04:06 were more prevalent in these patients compared to the general population (compared with three independent control cohorts: Taiwanese Han Chinese (n = 504), Tzu Chi Taiwanese bone marrow donors (n = 364) and Hong Kong Chinese (n = 5266)).ConclusionsOur study underscores the unique link between Kikuchi disease and acute leukaemia, characterised by specific features and HLA associations. This underlines Kikuchi disease as a possible differential diagnosis in pertinent clinical scenarios. Furthermore, this syndrome offers insights into postchemotherapy immunology in acute leukaemia, enhancing comprehension.

Published: January 2024

AbstractUltrafine tungsten carbide (WC)–cobalt (Co) and WC–(Ti,W)C–Co end mills were produced via spark plasma sintering. The wear mechanism of these end mills during machining of AISI H13 steel was investigated. WC–Co exhibits good mechanical properties (HV30: 2110 kg/mm2, KIC: 10.4 MPa/m1/2, TRS: 1990 MPa). Although the high hardness of WC–Co makes it show excellent resistance to abrasive wear, it suffers from a significant adhesion problem. As the cutting temperature increases, the oxidation of the WC–Co causes damage to the microstructure of tool materials, which deteriorates the grain boundary strength and promotes adhesive wear. This phenomenon causes large areas of tool materials to chip off and eventually results in cutting‐edge breakage. The high brittleness of (Ti,W)C causes cracks to propagate at low‐stress levels, reducing the mechanical properties of WC–(Ti,W)C–Co (KIC: 8.8 MPa/m1/2, TRS: 1090 MPa). However, (Ti,W)C addition enhances the resistance to oxidation and workpiece adhesion, which reduces the tool material loss caused by adhesive wear. The tool life of WC–(Ti,W)C–Co is three times longer than that of WC–Co in milling of AISI H13 at the same cutting speed. The key to maximizing the mechanical properties of ultrafine cemented carbide tools when machining AISI H13 is the modification of anti‐adhesive wear of surface.

Published: January 2024

SummaryOlives, which are rich in bioactive compounds, are processed into beverages in China. We investigated the effect of fermentation by Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCU001464 on the physicochemical characteristics, biological activities and phenolic compounds of olive pulp. After fermentation for 48 h, pH and individual sugar content of olive pulp decreased. Lm. fermentum NCU001464 fermentation enhanced the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and the inhibitory effect against xanthine oxidase (XO) of olive pulp. Total phenol content was not significantly different between olive pulp fermented for 0 and 48 h. However, the fermented olive phenol extract had a lower IC50 value than the unfermented phenol extract. Fluorescence spectroscopy results revealed that the olive phenol extract had a stronger XO inhibitory effect after fermentation. The dominant binding forces between olive phenols and XO were hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. There were 31 different phenolic compounds between the unfermented and fermented extracts.

Authors: Castellanos Isabel Cristina , Rojas‐Pérez Lilia C. 
Published: January 2024

SummaryWaxes play an important role in maintaining fruit quality and shelf‐life extension because they are naturally effective in blocking the migration of moisture. In this work, cuticular waxes from Physalis peruviana calyx (PPC) were extracted and characterised as potentially hydrophobic materials. Extraction was carried out using the Soxhlet technique with two non‐polar solvents, hexane and petroleum ether, and one polar solvent, ethanol. The extraction yield, lipid characterisation, and hydrophobic potential of cuticular waxes from PPC were analysed and compared using thin‐layer chromatography (TLC), attenuated total reflectance‐infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR), GC–MS chromatogram (FAMES), and wetting contact angle. Extraction using hexane was the most efficient method (yield of 9.61 ± 0.37%) for obtaining cuticular waxes with better hydrophobic properties, characterised by a contact angle of  = 107.37 ± 1.0° and a hysteresis contact angle of 11° due mainly to the presence of functional groups desirable and characteristic of vegetable waxes. Greater texture homogeneity visualised using optical microscopy and the presence of capric acid (70.97%) as a major component of low‐molecular‐weight fatty acids were observed in this extract. Due to their biodegradable, potentially antifungal, and hydrophobic properties, cuticular waxes from PPC have the potential to replace synthetic waxes in industrial applications.

AbstractObjectiveThe study aimed to explore the influence of Chinese culture and customs on the beliefs and health‐related behaviours of Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsThis descriptive qualitative study conducted semi‐structured interviews with 15 Chinese women between November 2022 and January 2023. The interview data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsThree major themes are found: (1) beliefs in health, (2) beliefs in illness and GDM and (3) beliefs in health‐related behaviours. They worried about the negative effects of GDM on the infant and family, so they actively sought medical advice to maintain health. However, it is challenging for them to balance adhering to healthcare professionals' advice and avoiding practical difficulties in the impact of the Chinese sociocultural context.ConclusionThis study emphasizes the influence of Chinese culture and customs on the beliefs and health‐related behaviours of women with GDM. Healthcare providers should recognize the influence of Chinese culture, customs and beliefs on women with GDM and their families, in order to provide individualized education to help them maintain health‐related behaviours.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe work presented an electrochemical anode method with different electrolyte concentrations and heat posttreatment to control the stoichiometry and structure of Cu2−xS electrocatalysts. X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were employed to characterize the composition and morphology, whereas the electrocatalytic activity was evaluated by linear scanning voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the electrochemical method successfully synthesized thin flake‐shaped Cu7S4, which exhibited optimal performance at the electrolyte concentration of 0.45 mol L1 with maximum turnover frequency of 0.786 s−1, maximum mass activity of 0.539 A g−1, minimum charge transfer resistance of 0.156 Ω cm−2, and minimum overpotential of 154 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2. In the Cu7S4 structure, Cu2+ and S2− were coordinated in a CuS4 tetrahedral structure, whereas Cu+ and S2− were coordinated in a CuS3 triangular structure. Heat posttreatment could change the stoichiometry from 1.75 to 1.8 and improve the electrochemical performance. In the Cu9S5 structure, the CuS3 triangular structure had disappeared. Under the same conditions, the overvoltage was only 128 mV.

Published: January 2024

AbstractPolymer‐derived ceramics (PDCs) have become promising candidates for electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption due to their high thermal stability, design flexibility, and versatile functionality. However, the inevitable porous structure formed during pyrolysis greatly limits its mechanical performance. In this work, Ni–Fe–C/HfO2/SiCN ceramic was prepared by simultaneously doping nickel and iron‐containing metal‐organic framework (Ni–Fe–MOF) nanoparticles and hafnium dioxide (HfO2) nanoparticles into the ceramic precursor, thereby improving its intrinsic brittle structure while granting it extraordinary EMW absorption performance. The flexural strength, flexural modulus, and Vickers hardness of Ni–Fe–C/HfO2/SiCN ceramic were 101.06 MPa, 40.19 GPa, and 13.31 GPa, respectively. These values were 1 132%, 749%, and 191% higher than those of the initial SiCN ceramics. In addition, by optimizing the content of Ni–Fe–MOF, the Ni–Fe–C/HfO2/SiCN ceramic demonstrated satisfying EMW absorption performance from 25°C to 500°C. At 25°C, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) were −54.07 dB and 3.95 GHz, covering 94% of the X‐band at a thickness of 2.27 mm. At 500°C, the RLmin and EAB were −33.72 dB and 1.82 GHz, still covering 43% of the X‐band at a thickness of only 1.65 mm. This work provides valuable insight into the integration of mechanical and EMW absorbing functions of PDC materials.
Embracing non‐Western Contexts in Management Scholarship

Published: January 2024

AbstractManagement is a global phenomenon. Yet, the vast majority of empirical investigations and theoretical explanations of management, managers and those being managed that are published in leading management journals are based on research that predominantly originates from Western contexts, particularly the USA and the larger European countries. Non‐Western contexts, in turn, reside at the periphery of mainstream management scholarship. This is problematic for multiple reasons. It provides an inherently limited view on the contextual factors that may explain variation in management practices across the globe, and it leads to a reductionist view of non‐Western contexts to offer little more than a means for teasing out the boundary conditions of mainstream ‘Western’ theories. This exclusion of non‐Western contexts has resulted in a marginalization of non‐Western scholarly voices, who are often hesitant to submit their research to leading scholarly journals. To address these interrelated problems, we use this introduction to the Thematic Collection on ‘Embracing non‐Western contexts’ in the Journal of Management Studies to call on scholars to more fully embrace non‐Western contexts in their research, and in doing so, to unleash the explanatory potential of these contexts for our understanding of management.
Root‐associated fungi and acquisitive root traits facilitate permafrost nitrogen uptake from long‐term experimentally warmed tundra

Published: January 2024

Summary

Root‐associated fungi (RAF) and root traits regulate plant acquisition of nitrogen (N), which is limiting to growth in Arctic ecosystems. With anthropogenic warming, a new N source from thawing permafrost has the potential to change vegetation composition and increase productivity, influencing climate feedbacks. Yet, the impact of warming on tundra plant root traits, RAF, and access to permafrost N is uncertain.

We investigated the relationships between RAF, species‐specific root traits, and uptake of N from the permafrost boundary by tundra plants experimentally warmed for nearly three decades at Toolik Lake, Alaska.

Warming increased acquisitive root traits of nonmycorrhizal and mycorrhizal plants. RAF community composition of ericoid (ERM) but not ectomycorrhizal (ECM) shrubs was impacted by warming and correlated with root traits. RAF taxa in the dark septate endophyte, ERM, and ECM guilds strongly correlated with permafrost N uptake for ECM and ERM shrubs. Overall, a greater proportion of variation in permafrost N uptake was related to root traits than RAF.

Our findings suggest that warming Arctic ecosystems will result in interactions between roots, RAF, and newly thawed permafrost that may strongly impact feedbacks to the climate system through mechanisms of carbon and N cycling.

AbstractWe present the case of a 20‐month‐old girl with Schimmelpenning‐Feuerstein‐Mims (SFM) syndrome with extensive head, neck, and torso skin involvement successfully managed with topical trametinib. Trametinib interferes downstream of KRAS and HRAS in the MAPK signaling pathway, of which KRAS was implicated in our child's pathogenic variant. Although other dermatologic conditions have shown benefit from oral trametinib, its topical use has not been well reported. Our patient showed benefit from the use of twice‐daily topical trametinib, applied to the epidermal and sebaceous nevi over a 16‐month period, leading to decreased pruritus and thinning of the plaques.

AbstractBackgroundObstetrical complications impact the health of mothers and offspring along the life course, resulting in an increased burden of chronic diseases. One specific complication is abruption, a life‐threatening condition with consequences for cardiovascular health that remains poorly studied.ObjectivesTo describe the design and data linkage algorithms for the Placental Abruption and Cardiovascular Event Risk (PACER) cohort.PopulationAll subjects who delivered in New Jersey, USA, between 1993 and 2020.DesignRetrospective, population‐based, birth cohort study.MethodsWe linked the vital records data of foetal deaths and live births to delivery and all subsequent hospitalisations along the life course for birthing persons and newborns. The linkage was based on a probabilistic record‐matching algorithm.Preliminary ResultsOver the 28 years of follow‐up, we identified 1,877,824 birthing persons with 3,093,241 deliveries (1.1%, n = 33,058 abruption prevalence). The linkage rates for live births‐hospitalisations and foetal deaths‐hospitalisations were 92.4% (n = 2,842,012) and 70.7% (n = 13,796), respectively, for the maternal cohort. The corresponding linkage rate for the live births‐hospitalisations for the offspring cohort was 70.3% (n = 2,160,736). The median (interquartile range) follow‐up for the maternal and offspring cohorts was 15.4 (8.1, 22.4) and 14.4 (7.4, 21.0) years, respectively. We will undertake multiple imputations for missing data and develop inverse probability weights to account for selection bias owing to unlinked records.ConclusionsPregnancy offers a unique window to study chronic diseases along the life course and efforts to identify the aetiology of abruption may provide important insights into the causes of future CVD. This project presents an unprecedented opportunity to understand how abruption may predispose women and their offspring to develop CVD complications and chronic conditions later in life.
Moving toward reality: Electrocortical reactivity to naturalistic multimodal emotional videos
Authors: Sabatinelli Dean , Farkas Andrew H. , Gehr Matthew C. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWhile previous research has investigated the effects of emotional videos on peripheral physiological measures and conscious experience, this study extends the research to include electrocortical measures, specifically the steady‐state visual‐evoked potential (ssVEP). A carefully curated set of 45 videos, designed to represent a wide range of emotional and neutral content, were presented with a flickering border. The videos featured a continuous single‐shot perspective, natural soundtrack, and excluded elements associated with professional films, to enhance realism. The results demonstrate a consistent reduction in ssVEP amplitude during emotional videos which strongly correlates with the rated emotional intensity of the clips. This suggests that narrative audiovisual stimuli have the potential to track dynamic emotional processing in the cortex, providing new avenues for research in affective neuroscience. The findings highlight the potential of using realistic video stimuli to investigate how the human brain processes emotional events in a paradigm that increases ecological validity. Future studies can further develop this paradigm by expanding the video set, targeting specific cortical networks, and manipulating narrative predictability. Overall, this study establishes a foundation for investigating emotional perception using realistic video stimuli and has the potential to expand our understanding of real‐world emotional processing in the human brain.
Crisis in the UK National Health Service: What does it mean, and what are the consequences?
Authors: Greener Ian , Powell Martin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThere have been more‐or‐less continual suggestions that the UK National Health Service (NHS) has been suffering from one kind of crisis or another since its creation in 1948. If we are to understand the problems the NHS faces, then we need to empirically investigate what kinds of crises it has faced, if such crises have patterns to them, and whether or not they tend to lead to policy change. This article considers NHS crisis in terms of academic accounts of its history, as well in occurrences of the term ‘NHS crisis’ (and its synonyms) in national newspaper headlines from the 1980s up to 2020 through the application of topic modelling. The combination of these two sources of data leads to the construction of a typology of NHS crises. Having constructed this typology, we can then examine the timing and frequency of NHS crises, and consider the relationship between crises and periods of policy change, as well as to the wider economic and social context in which crises occur through the notion of the ‘NHS spatio‐temporal fix’.
Informing Asset Life Extension: Probabilistic Fatigue Life Reassessment of Offshore Wind Turbine Structural Components Using a Bayesian Network

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Substantiating the safe operation of a wind turbine beyond its original design life requires a reassessment of the fatigue life of its structural components. It is common practice to use the same partial safety factors in the fatigue reassessment as were applied in the original design. However, using the same partial safety factors for through-life fatigue assessments may lead to overly conservative estimations, which could result in assets being removed from service prematurely. This paper proposes a methodology for conducting a probabilistic fatigue life assessment of wind turbine structural components through implementation of a Bayesian network (BN). The BN has been trained on inputs from offshore wind turbine design codes and standards to calculate the fatigue design life of a steel tower. The results from the fatigue calculations for the tower sections determined the P50 and P95 values for damage equal to 0.42 and 0.51 respectively, while the fatigue assessment of the tower flange connections resulted in P50 and P95 value of 0.63 and 0.81. The paper also presents the results of applying Sobol variance analysis to the BN, which shows how the variance in the output parameters can be decomposed to determine the largest contributors to uncertainty in the tower damage assessment.
Turbulent Wind Simulation Duration’s Impact on Mooring Fatigue Damage for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Authors: Lee Alistair , Ling Bradley A. , Martin Bruce 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
With the ever-increasing size of floating wind turbines, correct modelling of the wind field is becoming ever more important. One aspect where there is little guidance given by standards and variation within the industry is on the length of wind input files, with the common choice being between 10-minutes and 60-minutes. This paper explores the differences between fatigue simulations when using the two different wind file lengths. For the project site of reference, a 40% reduction in fatigue damage is observed when using 10-minute simulations instead of 60-minute simulations. Rainflow counting results of turbine thrust are investigated and it is found that 60-minute wind files produce thrust cycles of higher magnitude and higher mean value. The same study is undertaken for a similar project and a similar reduction in fatigue damage is observed, although to a lesser extent at only 15%. Whilst this study can not state which length of wind file is more “correct”, use of wind files of 60-minute length will lead to more conservative fatigue results.
Heave Plate Hydrodynamic Coefficients for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines – A Compilation of Data
Authors: Turner Matthew , Wang Lu , Thiagarajan Krish , Robertson Amy 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s OpenFAST software is utilized by academics and industry professionals alike to simulate offshore wind turbines. The software’s modeling of hydrodynamic loads on heave plates attached to these structures relies on user-specified hydrodynamic coefficients. To guide the proper selection of these coefficients and potentially develop a new functionality within OpenFAST that automatically prescribes and/or adjusts the heave-plate hydrodynamic coefficients, we review past literature to examine the dependence of the added mass, damping, and drag coefficients on various relevant nondimensional parameters, including the Keulegan-Carpenter number, the frequency parameter, and the plate thickness ratio. Existing data in the literature show strong dependence of the hydrodynamic coefficients on the Keulegan-Carpenter number. We observe consistent trends across a range of different plate geometry, plate porosity, and flow conditions. Secondary dependence of the coefficients on the frequency parameter and plate thickness ratio is also present.
