A Time Splitting Method for the Three-Dimensional Linear Pauli Equation
Authors: Gutleb Timon S. , Mauser Norbert J. , Ruggeri Michele , Stimming Hans Peter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We analyze a numerical method to solve the time-dependent linear Pauli equation in three space dimensions. The Pauli equation is a semi-relativistic generalization of the Schrödinger equation for 2-spinors which accounts both for magnetic fields and for spin, with the latter missing in preceding numerical work on the linear magnetic Schrödinger equation. We use a four term operator splitting in time, prove stability and convergence of the method and derive error estimates as well as meshing strategies for the case of given time-independent electromagnetic potentials, thus providing a generalization of previous results for the magnetic Schrödinger equation.
The PRIDx framework to engage payers in reducing diagnostic errors in healthcare
Authors: Ali Kisha J. , Goeschel Christine A. , DeLia Derek M. , Blackall Leah M. , Singh Hardeep 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
No framework currently exists to guide how payers and providers can collaboratively develop and implement incentives to improve diagnostic safety. We conducted a literature review and interviews with subject matter experts to develop a multi-component ‘Payer Relationships for Improving Diagnoses (PRIDx)’ framework, that could be used to engage payers in diagnostic safety efforts.

Content
The PRIDx framework, 1) conceptualizes diagnostic safety links to care provision, 2) illustrates ways to promote payer and provider engagement in the design and adoption of accountability mechanisms, and 3) explicates the use of data analytics. Certain approaches suggested by PRIDx were refined by subject matter expert interviewee perspectives.

Summary
The PRIDx framework can catalyze public and private payers to take specific actions to improve diagnostic safety.

Outlook
Implementation of the PRIDx framework requires new types of partnerships, including external support from public and private payer organizations, and requires creation of strong provider incentives without undermining providers’ sense of professionalism and autonomy. PRIDx could help facilitate collaborative payer-provider approaches to improve diagnostic safety and generate research concepts, policy ideas, and potential innovations for engaging payers in diagnostic safety improvement activities.
Introduction: stylistic approaches to narrative empathy
Authors: Fernandez-Quintanilla Carolina , Stradling Fransina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article introduces the special issue by outlining the current state of research into the role of textual-linguistic features in eliciting narrative empathy. Firstly, we address the complexities around defining the term ‘narrative empathy’ and provide some definitional criteria. We then review the ways in which the role of language in narrative empathy has been studied to date in narratology, literary studies, empirical study of literature and stylistics. Based on this review, we argue that stylistic approaches allow for the much-needed exploration of specific linguistic techniques that may contribute to narrative empathy, while also taking into account other contextual factors to address the local nature of reading effects. Finally, we summarise how the contributions to this special issue showcase the affordances of stylistic analysis for the study of narrative empathy and offer new insights into the ways narrative empathy is elicited during the reading process.
From witness to accomplice: the manipulation of readers’ empathy through consciousness representation in Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley
Authors: Bourget Juliette 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Within the field of narrative empathy studies, the concept of “negative empathy,” meaning a sharing of emotions with morally negative characters, has become increasingly discussed. Through the examination of The Talented Mr Ripley (1955) by Patricia Highsmith, this article contributes new insights into narratological and stylistic devices eliciting readers’ empathy. This study analyses responses from expert and non-expert readers to understand how they conceptualise empathy and qualify their engagement with the novel’s eponymous character. I argue that the novel’s figural narration, which involves extensive displays of the character’s mind and silencing the narrator’s moral guidance, invites empathy. Finally, I suggest that Highsmith manipulates her readers through three related stylistic techniques (free indirect discourse, stylistic contagion and equivocal sentences), which blur the lines between the third-person narration and the character’s inner discourse. By insidiously presenting the hero’s behaviour as sensible and justified, Highsmith persuades readers to become not only witnesses but accomplices to Ripley’s crimes.
I fucking love you! Emotional address in Fleabag, or how viewers’ empathy becomes voyeurism
Authors: Neveux Julie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of emotional language and telecinematic direct address in the BBC television series Fleabag (2016–2019) on viewers’ empathetic engagement, showing how multimodal narratives can invite empathy. In this series, direct address, often used to create intimacy with the audience, is the vehicle through which the eponymous protagonist shares or does not share her emotional states with those within or outside the diegesis. This way of communicating her feelings, I argue, shapes and intensifies viewers’ potential empathetic engagement in different ways throughout the series. In particular, I explain that the way in which Fleabag recurrently uses expressive language, most prominently swear words, while addressing the audience, initially invites viewer’s empathy in Season 1, before a stylistic shift in Season 2 eventually redefines this kind of emotional address: at the end of the series, viewers’ empathy is disinvited, positioning them as unwanted voyeurs.

Abstract

Objectives
There is growing concern about the low-protein and high-energy diet therapies used in the treatment of inherited amino acid metabolism disorders. We aimed to identify the risk factors for noncommunicable diseases that may arise from nutritional therapies and suggests approaches that may prevent the development of the noncommunicable diseases.

Methods
The present study evaluates 112 patients, on long-term nutritional therapy for at least the last 2 years with a diagnosis of an inborn error of the amino acid metabolism, and their 28 healthy siblings. The participants are assessed for the development of overweight and metabolic syndrome based on an analysis of anthropometric parameters, body composition and the results of biochemical tests.

Results
Anthropometric measurements including BMI, weight Z-score, waist circumference and fat mass were not significantly different between patients and controls. Height Z-scores were similar in phenylketonuria patients compared to controls, but lower in urea cycle disorders, organic acidemia and maple syrup urine disease groups. No increased risk of development of overweight or metabolic syndrome was detected in the patient group, while there were findings suggesting malnutrition in patients diagnosed with urea cycle disorders. There was a correlation between patients’ BMI and C3-carnitine levels in organic acidemia patients and leucine levels in maple syrup urine disease patients.

Conclusions
All forms of malnutrition can be prevented in patient groups receiving limited nutrients under a dietary management protocol, based on the findings of anthropometric and biochemical evaluations and analyses of body composition.
IUPAC/CITAC Guide: Evaluation of risks of false decisions in conformity assessment of a substance or material with a mass balance constraint (IUPAC Technical Report)
Authors: Pennecchi Francesca R. , Kuselman Ilya , Hibbert D. Brynn 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
A Bayesian multivariate approach to the evaluation of risks of false decisions on conformity of chemical composition of a substance or material due to measurement uncertainty is adapted to cases for which the composition is subject to a mass balance constraint. The constraint means that sum of the actual (“true”) values of the composition component contents under conformity assessment is equal to 1 (or 100 %) or another positive value less than 1 (less than 100 %). As a consequence, the actual values of the component contents are intrinsically correlated. Corresponding measured values of the component contents are correlated also. Any correlation can influence evaluation of risks of false decisions in conformity assessment of the substance or material chemical composition. A technique for appropriate evaluation of the relevant risks, including evaluation of the conformance probability of a subject or material composition, is discussed for different scenarios of the data modeling, taking into account all observed correlations. A Monte Carlo method is applied in the R programming language for the necessary calculations. Examples of evaluation of the risks are provided for conformity assessment of chemical composition of a platinum-rhodium alloy, pure potassium trioxidoiodate, a sausage, and synthetic air.

Authors: Eruyar Esra , Honca Tevfik , Bakır Fatih 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The search for genetic mutations is very important in younger patients and other age groups with a history of recurrent cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and a family history of other causes to be excluded. The aim of this study is to define the characteristics of genetic mutations in the etiology of ischemic stroke.

Methods
Twenty-three patients with acute CVD in the last 1 year and only genetic mutations acknowledged in the etiology were retrospectively analyzed. We determined the frequency of the genetic mutations that are observed in cerebral arterial events (CAE) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).

Results
All patients had at least one genetic mutation and 19 of them had arterial events and 4 had venous thrombosis. MTHFR mutation was the most common mutation and PAI-1 mutation was the second in line for the arterial events. PAI 4G/5G, MTHFR A1298 and FV mutations were most frequently observed in venous events. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) was detected in 14 patients (%74) with CAE.

Conclusions
We concluded that multiple gene mutations may significantly increase the development of CVD. CVD is most commonly associated with MTHFR, PAI-1 or FV gene mutations and is most commonly seen in CAE. MTHFR mutations showed moderate linear correlation in the development of arterial events and FXII and FXIII mutations in venous events. The association of thrombophilia and PFO is high in patients who have undergone CAE, especially responsible for recurrent events. This study will need to be confirmed by prospective studies with larger sample and control group.
A green HPLC method for determination of mirtazapine in pharmaceutical products: Development, validation, and greenness assessment
Authors: Demir İbrahim , Bulduk İbrahim , Enginar Hüseyin , Çifci Cemal 
Published: October 2023

AbstractMirtazapine is an antidepressant medication used to treat the major depressive disorder in adults. In this study, two different chromatographic methods were developed for the determination of mirtazapine in pharmaceutical products. In the first method, An Extend C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used and the temperature was kept constant at 25 °C. The mobile phase was determined as 0.1% formic acid solution and acetonitrile (80/20, v/v), and isocratic elution was applied. The flow rate of the mobile phase was determined as 1.0 mL min−1 and the injection volume was 20 µL. Detection was performed at 291 nm. using a UV detector. In the second method, ethanol was used as the organic modifier. The only difference between these methods was the organic modifier. All other conditions of the methods were the same. Both chromatographic methods were validated by ICH guidelines for various parameters such as selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection and quantification limit, and robustness. The determination coefficients of chromatographic methods were greater than 0.999 in the concentration range of 5–30 µg mL−1. of mirtazapine. Later, these chromatographic methods were applied to pharmaceutical formulations. Comparison of the obtained results in terms of means was made using Student's (t) test, and comparisons in terms of standard deviations were made using the Fischer (F) test. It was observed that there was no significant difference between these methods. These two methods were then evaluated using the AGREE-Analytical GREEnness metric software. The chromatographic method using ethanol as an organic modifier has been proposed as an excellent eco-friendly and analyst-friendly alternative for the determination of mirtazapine in pharmaceutical formulations.

Authors: Dlamini Sibusisiwe , Moodley Ilana , Reddy Mogie 
Published: October 2023

BackgroundThe general and oral healthcare needs of communities far exceed the capacity of the current public health system of South Africa (SA). This results in patients deferring treatment or seeking alternative measures in the form of the traditional health practice. It is important for dental professionals in the health system to be aware of such oral health care seeking behaviour within rural communities to initiate joint corporate oral health education programmes and referral systems that resonate with these communities.
Aims and objectivesThe study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitude and perceptions of dental professionals (16 dentists, 25 dental therapists, 4 oral hygienists and 3 dental assistants) regarding patients seeking oral health care from traditional healers.
MethodsThis was an exploratory, cross-sectional study that evaluated dental professionals’ knowledge, attitude and perceptions on patients seeking oral health care from traditional healers. A purposive sampling technique using specific inclusion criteria was used to select 48 qualified dental professionals (oral hygienists, dentists, dental assistants and dental therapists) practising in rural KwaZulu-Natal. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data related to sociodemographic variables and knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of dental professionals were recorded.
ResultsMost (77.1%) dental professionals were aware that their patients were seeking oral health care from traditional healers. They further maintained that the traditional health practice included ideas and methods from which the oral health fraternity could benefit.
ConclusionThis study revealed most of the dental professionals in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal have encountered patients who have consulted traditional health practitioners for oral health care. The dental personnel were accepting of traditional healers and believed that traditional healers could contribute positively to rural oral health care.

Impact of Lead and Zinc Heavy Metal Pollution on the Growth and Phytoremediation Potential of Sulla carnosa in Sabkha El Kalbia, Tunisia
Authors: bouzidi amal , krouma abdelmajid 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution from human and natural activities poses significant environmental and health concerns for wildlife and humans, with lead and zinc being particularly threatening. This study focuses on Sebkha El Kalbia in Tunisia, highlighting the challenges faced by local communities in addressing heavy metal pollution. The area is prone to contamination through rivers and streams that transport pollutants from industrial zones and rural areas into the salt pan. The recent establishment of an industrial zone has worsened pollution levels, calling for strict regulatory measures and clean technologies to limit heavy metal pollution and protect human health and the environment. The study assesses the impact of lead and zinc pollution on the growth of Sulla carnosa and its potential for phytoremediation. Soil and plant samples from contaminated areas were analyzed, revealing high levels of heavy metal contamination. The growth parameters of Sulla carnosa, such as plant height, weight, and enzymatic activity, were examined, showing a significant reduction in plant growth when exposed to high metal concentrations. However, Sulla carnosa demonstrated promising phytoremediation potential, with preferential metal accumulation in the roots and improved enzymatic activity. These findings highlight Sulla carnosa as a potential candidate for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils.
