No country for small birds: Potential positive association among medium‐sized, aggressive species in Australian bird communities
Authors: García‐Navas Vicente , López‐Poveda Gabriel , Bliard Louis , Christidis Les , Ozgul Arpat 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAimAustralian woodlands have been intensively cleared since European settlement and, in parallel, many species of birds inhabiting this habitat type have experienced a marked decline. Conversely, some species such as noisy miner Manorina melanocephala respond positively to habitat disturbance and due to their hyper‐aggressiveness can end up driving away specialized and fragmentation‐sensitive species. Recent studies have suggested that the negative impact of miners is exacerbated by means of synergistic interactions between these and other aggressive species, including nest predators. However, it is not clear if these positive associations arise through similar habitat requirements or due to potential mutual benefits (‘facilitation effects’), which should predominate in harsh environments as the stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts.LocationEastern Australia.MethodsWe combined a multi‐season community N‐mixture model and joint species distribution models within the Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities framework to examine species co‐occurrence patterns after accounting for imperfect detection and the influence of environmental variables. We then explored how the balance between positive and negative associations varied along an abiotic stress gradient and whether species‐to‐species associations were non‐randomly distributed with respect to species traits.ResultsNo significant associations were detected; we only found tentative associations (posterior probability 85%) in a low proportion of species pairs (~4%). Although most non‐random (tentative) associations were negative, these were weaker and less consistent across models than the positive ones. Five medium‐sized species of swooping birds including the noisy miner monopolized virtually all positive associations. Communities from low‐productivity environments tended to show a lower degree of overall (community‐level) competitiveness than those located in less stressful (more productive) environments, which supports the SGH. There was no significant relationship between species trait dissimilarity and species‐to‐species association's strength.Main ConclusionsOur results suggest that aggressive species like miners, kookaburras, lorikeets, magpies and butcherbirds can form potential synergies with each other that may intensify the direct negative influence of each species on small‐sized songbirds. Since these species thrive in anthropized landscapes and have drastically increased their numbers in some regions, their associative potential should be considered in conservation actions.
Perspectives on Designing Design Managers By Lee D. Green, Jeff Smith, Gary Bryant, Rachel Cooper, Kyung‐Won Chung, and Maryann Finiw
Authors: Nussbaum Bruce 
Published: October 2023

The strongest and strangest rift in academia is perhaps between business and design. For two fields that are so interdependent on one another, the separation is appalling—and completely unnecessary. In the world of fashion, for example, designers know they must be creators (each season, twice a year, year after year), as well as manufacturers, originators and retailers, loners and team players, empathizers and pathbreakers. By the time they are seniors, fashion students know where to outsource, who to go to for publicity and marketing, what margins are needed to stay in business. Nearly all have been required to intern in successful fashion businesses and have learned the realities of the fashion world from the ground up. In the best fashion schools, from Parsons in New York to Central Saint Martins in London, this is what professors teach and what the curriculum is composed of.Yet in this article, we clearly see that other design schools are not doing this job. Designers graduate without the abilities to function in a business environment, much less build a new business. This is a tragedy with a cause—bad design education. What is needed to be great corporate designers and design managers? The deepest need is understanding—not of the customer, but of business itself. Learning the language and values of business and integrating them into the designer's practice and presentation is the key to success. What is valuable? How is it measured? How can you deliver it? These are all key questions.Designers need to know not only their own process but also the process of bringing their creations to the marketplace. This is what unites such an unlikely pair of designers as Alexander McQueen and Jonathan Ive. One made incredible clothes; the other makes incredible consumer electronics. Yet both obsessed over materials, manufacturing, marketing, and price.This is what designers have to learn to either be part of a team or lead one. It isn't magic.

Published: October 2023

More and more of the everyday objects we design have the ability to send and receive information. In the coming “internet of things,” how can we avoid adding to what is already a surfeit of information? And how can we best preserve our humanity in the face of an onslaught of conflicting and biased bits of “knowledge?”Where is “the internet of things” heading, and what does it mean for us as human beings?
Inside Practices for Outside Success—Outside Ideas for Inside Success

Published: October 2023

Why do some companies extract successful design results from their products and services, while others that claim to use design fall short? Employees of many of today's large companies know the basics of product design and design management, but only some have learned to use designers and design managers to achieve truly value‐driven design. The authors suspect that much of the trouble lies with top management.The authors of Flair explore the internal practices and external influences on design management that can make or break a company's reputation as a design leader.

Published: October 2023

More and more, the ability to respond to change divides successful companies and failures. Nokia's spectacular fall from glory has made that loud and clear. In contrast, IBM responded to change by transforming itself into a potent solutions company. Change is a powerful and unavoidable double‐edged sword: a huge risk in business, but also a great opportunity if one knows how to handle it. So what is organizational agility and how is it relevant to the design business?Is your design firm an Explorer, a Watcher, or a Butler? In this article the agility and culture of design consultancies is assessed across seven parameters.
“Piggyback Pigtails”: Simplifying secondary transradial access for TAVR

Published: October 2023

AbstractMinimalist approaches have evolved for TAVR over the last years with impact on in‐hospital stay and patient safety. As part of this concept, transradial secondary arterial access is capable of reducing vascular and bleeding complications. Yet, steering of the marker pigtail catheter in the descending aorta might by fluoroscopic imaging sometimes be challenging. In our manuscript, we present a very simple “piggyback” technique, simplifying management of transradial secondary access in transfemoral TAVR.
Financialization and sluggish recovery of firms' investment: Global evidence from the 2007–2008 financial crisis
Authors: Luo Mingjin , Wang Shenqguan 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAfter the financial crisis of 2007–2008, the global economy witnessed a trend of sluggish investment recovery and continuous deepening of financialization. Using data on nonfinancial firms from 108 countries over the period from 2000 to 2017, we examine the impact of financialization on firms' postcrisis investment recovery with a probit model. We find that firms' financialization inhibited postcrisis investment recovery, and this finding remains stable under a series of robustness checks. Further discussion shows the hindering impact of financialization on investment recovery is especially dominant among firms with severe financial constraints and firms from advanced economies. Higher financial market yield also exacerbates the restraint effect of financialization on investment recovery.
Bubble detective: City‐level analysis of house price cycles
Authors: Cevik Serhan , Naik Sadhna 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis paper investigates house price dynamics at high frequency using city‐level observations during the period 1994–2022 in Lithuania. We employ multiple time series‐based econometric procedures to examine whether real house prices and house price‐to‐rent ratios exhibit explosive behaviour. According to these recursive right‐tailed test results, we reject the null hypothesis of no‐bubble and find evidence for long and multiple periods of explosive behaviour in the housing market in all major cities during the sample period. While the size of bubbles varies across cities, especially when we use the house price‐to‐rent ratio, there is clearly a similar boom‐bust pattern in Lithuania. Large house price corrections can in turn have adverse effects on economic performance and financial stability, as experienced during the global financial crisis and other episodes in history.
Booms, Busts, and Common Risk Exposures
Authors: KOPYTOV ALEXANDR 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTI present a dynamic general equilibrium model in which commonality in bank assets endogenously changes over the business cycle and shapes systemic risk. To reduce individual risks, banks diversify, increasing portfolio overlap and hence the similarity of their exposures to fundamental shocks. Systemic financial crises burst at the end of credit booms when productive investment opportunities are exhausted, banks' diversification incentives are strong, and their portfolios are highly correlated. A calibrated model is able to match key moments related to frequency, severity, and the economy's behavior around systemic crises.
I don't want to leave my child: How mothers and fathers affect mother's breastfeeding duration and leave length
Authors: Van Egdom Drake , Piszczek Matthew M. , Wen Xueqi , Zhang Jing , Granillo‐Velasquez Kenneth E. , Spitzmueller Christiane 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAfter the birth of a child, employed mothers must make return‐to‐work and breastfeeding decisions. Prior organizational research focuses on how the mother's work environment affects these decisions, yet they are made with personal and relationship considerations in mind. We use the work‐home resources model and identity theory to address two pressing questions. First, do mothers' identity and fathers' paternity leave provide resources for supporting breastfeeding and return to work? Second, can mothers' separation anxiety help explain the psychological mechanisms for this process? We expect more work‐centric mothers and those whose partners take longer leaves to have lower maternal separation anxiety, and thereby shorter maternity leave length and shorter breastfeeding duration. We leverage the National Institute of Child Health and Development's Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. We conducted analyses using data from 491 families and nine time points from childbirth to 3 years post birth. Consistent with the work‐home resources model, the father's leave length is negatively related to mother's separation anxiety, which is positively related to her leave length. We also found that the father's leave length is directly and positively related to mother's leave length and breastfeeding duration, and the mother's work centrality is negatively related to her leave length. We explain how these results fit into the work‐home resources model and suggest organizations should provide mothers with control over return‐to‐work decisions and encourage longer paternity leave.
Arm levitation in multiple system atrophy

Published: October 2023

AbstractA 53‐year‐old woman presented with repetitive involuntary elevation of the left upper limb beyond her shoulder joint. Initially, the symptom was suspected to be due to a functional neurological disorder. Based on the clinical and radiological findings, however, we diagnosed arm levitation associated with multiple system atrophy. The mechanism of her arm levitation was suggested to be a disturbance of the right frontal cortex with resultant impairment of the inhibitory mechanisms of the primary motor cortex.
Nursing workload and patient‐focused outcomes in intensive care: A systematic review
Authors: Ross Paul , Howard Bethany , Ilic Dragan , Watterson Jason , Hodgson Carol L. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe aim of this systematic review was to examine the association of nursing workload on patient outcomes in intensive care units. The primary outcome measure was patient mortality, with adverse events (AE), the secondary outcome measures. Electronic search of databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, EMCARE, Scopus, and Web of Science were performed. Studies were excluded if they were in non‐ICU settings, pediatric, neonatal populations, or if the abstract/full text was unavailable. Risk of bias was assessed by the ROBINS‐I tool. After screening 4129 articles, 32 studies were identified as meeting inclusion criteria. The majority of included studies were assessed as having a moderate risk of bias. The nursing activities score (NAS) was the most frequently used tool to assess nursing workload. Our systematic review identified that higher nursing workload was associated with patient‐focused outcomes, including increased mortality and AE in the intensive care setting. The varied approaches of measuring and reporting nursing workload make it difficult to translate the findings of the impact of nursing workload on patient outcomes in intensive care settings.

AbstractRapid maxillary expansion (RME) may change speech sound parameters due to the enlargement of oral and nasal cavities. This study aimed to systematically review the current evidence on speech changes as a side effect of RME. An electronic search was conducted in nine databases, and two of them accessed the ‘grey literature’. The eligibility criteria included clinical studies assessing orthodontic patients with maxillary transverse deficiency and the relationship with speech alterations without restricting publication year or language. Only interventional studies were included. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool assessed the risk of bias. The initial search provided 4853 studies. Seven articles (n = 200 patients) met the inclusion criteria and were analysed. The primary source of bias was the absence of a control group in four studies. RME altered speech production by changing vowel fundamental frequency and fricative phoneme formant frequency. Shimmer and jitter rates changed in one and two studies, respectively. Two studies presented deterioration during orthodontic treatment, but speech improved after appliance removal. Despite the limited evidence, RME affects speech during and after treatment.
The Law of Peoples and Rectificatory Justice
Authors: d'Annibale Eleonora 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this paper, I argue that a principle of rectification for past wrongdoings could and should be added to Rawls's Law of Peoples on the ground that unrectified past injustice undermines the notion of equality of peoples. I base this work on a conception of rectification that includes apologies as well as economic compensation, and I focus on the step of compensation. To do so, I briefly discuss how the maximin decision rule can adapt to the second original position. To address the compatibility of rectificatory justice with Rawls's work, I focus on the strains of commitment and consider Rawls's account of peoples' fundamental interests. Rawls's conception of international justice needs to be responsive to peoples' fundamental interest in equality, which calls for proper protection of their means of self‐respect. Although the moral imbalance stemming from past injustice is overlooked in The Law of Peoples, I show that Rawls's theoretical framework can ground a principle of rectification.
Investigation of Sub-Grid Scale Turbulence-Radiation Interaction Effects on Turbulence Energy Transport and Varying Thermophysical Properties Using Large Eddy Simulation
Authors: Bazdidi-Tehrani Farzad , Ghiyasi Mehdi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The main objective of this article is to investigate sub-grid scale turbulence–radiation interaction (SGS TRI) effects on SGS turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) fluctuations and varying thermophysical properties in a partially premixed combustion system for a laboratory-piloted methane/air flame. The large eddy simulation approach is employed to simulate the turbulence of the compressible reactive flow. SGS quantities, including turbulent stress and fluxes of enthalpy and species in the sub-grid scale, are computed using the standard Smagorinsky–Lilly model. The radiative transfer equation is modeled by applying the spherical harmonic P1 approximation by considering the radiative heat source related to the SGS TRI contribution. Optically thin fluctuation approximation is utilized to simplify the radiative absorption term. A chemical reaction mechanism comprising 41 steps and 16 species is applied to model methane–air mixture combustion. Diffusion flamelet-generated manifolds are employed to govern the species transport equation. About 87% of TKE is resolved by applying the finest grid consisting of 1,822,580 cells. Impacts of SGS TRI on the spatially filtered density, eddy viscosity, SGS velocity and TKE, overall radiative emission, RMS temperature fluctuations, and nitrogen monoxide (NO) formation are studied. The results reveal that considering SGS TRI in the simulation leads to remarkable discrepancies, particularly in SGS velocity and TKE by 6.70% and 7.40%, respectively. Meanwhile, SGS density and eddy viscosity deviate negligibly in the presence of SGS TRI. Also, the filtered mass fraction of NO reduces up to 17.54% on average by considering TRI.
Mechanical Properties and Fracture Resistance of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid
Authors: Yadav Deepesh , Jaya Balila Nagamani 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
3D printing is a layer-by-layer deposition process, which results in highly anisotropic structures and contains interfaces. Complex shapes manufactured by 3D printing carry defects. Complete elimination of these defects and interfaces is not possible, and these defects degrade the mechanical properties. In the present study, mechanical properties of printed dog bone samples are quantified as a function of building parameters, in particular, filling patterns, raster angle, and orientation of build direction with respect to that of loading, in polylactic acid (PLA). The tensile strength of 3D-printed PLA is the same for hexagonal and linear pattern filling when the build direction is along thickness and width, and failure was initiated at the defects in the structure, while better overall toughness is offered by hexagonal pattern filling. Build direction along specimen gauge length gives very low tensile strength and toughness, and failure happens between the printing layers. To minimize the defects especially near the grip section, cuboid samples were first deposited and micro-machined by laser into dog bone shape to perform tension test. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of micro-machined samples are surprisingly lower, while failure strain is highest among line filling printed samples. Damage resistance was quantified in terms of work of fracture, and hexagonal filling provided better damage resistance than line filling patterns for conditions of 0 deg raster angle with respect to the crack, whereas line filling with 45 deg and 90 deg raster angle tolerated damage better than hexagonal filling.
Effect of Nanoparticles Deposition on Cooling Performance of Photovoltaic Panels
Authors: Salem Hassan , Mina Ehab 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The current research aims to investigate the deposition and dispersion of nanoparticles for thermally developing laminar flow inside a cooling channel of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. The particle transport is modeled in an Eulerian–Lagrangian framework using a two-way coupling approach to perform the particle trajectories. In the absence of turbulent fluctuations, Brownian diffusion is the main force that contributes to particle deposition due to the small size of the particles used in the current study (below 100 nm). Several parameters were investigated such as inlet temperature, Reynolds number, nanoparticle size, and concentration in order to record the subsequent effects on the deposition efficiency, heat transfer coefficient, and pressure drop. There is no direct particle deposition model available in commercial computational packages such as fluent, so a deposition model was developed and programed in c-language using the user-defined function (UDF) capabilities available in the fluent solver to model how the particles are affected by wall impacts. Model validation was performed against the experimental studies found in the literature and showed good agreement. The efficiency of particle deposition on the channel wall was found to increase with decreasing nanoparticle size and/or Reynolds number. Furthermore, the deposition efficiency increased with the increase in fluid inlet temperature and nanofluid concentration. Moreover, the heat transfer rate was decreased as a result of decreasing nanofluid concentration caused by nanoparticle deposition on the channel walls, while the pumping power was also decreased due to concentration loss.
