Authors: Ossenberg Christine , Brunelli Vanessa N. , Mitchell Marion , Henderson Amanda 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAimsTo evaluate the implementation process of a novel program focused on improving interactive (dialogic) feedback between clinicians and students during placement.DesignQuantitative cross‐sectional hybrid type 3 effectiveness–implementation study driven by a federated model of social learning theory and implementation theory.MethodsFrom June to November 2018, feedback approaches supported by socio‐constructive learning theory and Normalisation Process Theory were enacted in four clinical units of a healthcare facility in southeast Queensland, Australia. The study involved 16 clinical instructors/supervisors, 94 bedside nurses, and 85 final‐year nursing students. Engagement was evaluated using the Normalisation Measure Development survey. Situated learning encounters were constructed based on the needs of each group.ResultsSurvey results of the four Normalisation Process Theory constructs identified variable adoption by participant groups. Engagement in situated learning encounters that facilitate dialogic feedback was greatest in clinical instructors/supervisors, followed by students. Bedside registered nurses, while indicating they understood purposeful feedback behaviours, did not demonstrate them in practice.ConclusionThe extent to which each group practiced dialogic feedback depended on their perceptions of their influence, whether they saw it as part of their role, and the effort and time required, regardless of the activity's importance, role statements, and codes of conduct.Implications for the ProfessionUnderstanding the norms that shape communication, engagement, and nurses' role priorities is crucial for guiding practice and ongoing engagement with feedback.ImpactThe research provides valuable insights for leaders aiming to enhance the integration of evidence into practice. It guides leaders to understand that participants prioritise the reach, relevance, and resources of evidence over formal role descriptions, responsibilities, policies, and codes of conduct. This research encourages leaders to scrutinise existing beliefs, norms, and routines when implementing evidence‐based practices.Reporting MethodStandards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) reporting guidelines were used.No Patient or Public ContributionNone.

ABSTRACTIn this study, we aimed to explore the sex‐specific effects and mechanisms of sevoflurane exposure on the neural development of pubertal rats on the basis of M1/M2 microglial cell polarisation and related signalling pathways. A total of 48 rat pups (24 males and 24 females) were assigned to the 0‐ or 2‐h sevoflurane exposure group on the seventh day after birth. The Morris water maze (MWM) test was subsequently conducted on the 32nd to 38th days after birth. M1/M2 microglial cell polarisation, C3 and TLR4 expression, and synapse growth were analysed within specific brain zones by immunofluorescence after the MWM test. We found that the negative effects caused by sevoflurane exposure were weaker in female rats than in male rats and had less influence on spatial memory. Sevoflurane exposure has opposite effects on microglial M1 polarisation in the different sexes but can promote M2 polarisation, with more obvious effects seen in female rats. In addition, sevoflurane exposure had bidirectional effects on C3 expression in different zones, while it clearly downregulated C3 expression in female rats. Moreover, sevoflurane decreased TLR4 expression in the hippocampus, whereas female rats exhibited better resistance, especially in the dentate gyrus. Compared with male rats, female rats were more resistant to the synaptic reduction effect of sevoflurane exposure. In conclusion, we found that neonatal sevoflurane exposure could exhibit sex‐specific effects via the regulation of C3‐ and TLR4‐related microglial cell polarisation. In addition, subregional regulation in the hippocampus might also contribute to its sex‐specific effects.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTHuman L35a ribosomal protein (RPL35A) has been reported to confer higher drug resistance and viability to triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, but the mechanism related to its promotion of TNBC malignant progression is still unclear. Here, we found that silencing of RPL35A could inhibit the proliferation of TNBC cells by suppressing the G1/S phase transition. Furthermore, SMAD‐specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Smurf2) was found to be a potential upstream ubiquitin ligase of RPL35A. Smurf2 could interact with RPL35A and promote its degradation and K63‐linked polyubiquitination, thereby suppressing the G1/S phase transition and proliferation of TNBC cells. In addition, the roles of Smurf2 were confirmed in a xenograft mouse model. Finally, we found a negative correlation between the protein levels of RPL35A and Smurf2 in human TNBC tissues. In summary, Smurf2 inhibits the proliferation of TNBC cells by blocking the cell cycle process, which is associated with regulating RPL35A.

AbstractAimMany Japanese nurses have moved to Australia, yet their experiences and perceived reasons for staying in Australia are understudied. This study identified why Japanese nurses who moved internationally to Australia continued to stay and work in Australia.MethodsSemi‐structured interviews were conducted with 15 Japanese nurses who hold Japanese nursing licenses and are registered as nurses in Australia. The transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsFive themes emerged: (1) capability to take leave and holidays without feeling guilty, (2) set shifts creates a better work–life balance, (3) incentives give motivation to work hard, (4) safe and protective workplace for nurses, and (5) positive environment for pursuing a career.ConclusionsJapanese nurses were satisfied with the Australian work environment where their profession is well‐protected and highly respected, with more chances of career advancements. It suggests the need for a better working environment for nurses in Japan.

AbstractBackgroundPregnancy‐related anatomic, physiologic, and hormonal factors can occur at different stages of pregnancy and affect sleep disturbances. The relationship between sleep problems during pregnancy and postpartum depressive symptoms as well as neonatal condition at delivery have not been well described. This study hypothesized that sleep problems are associated with postpartum depressive symptoms and adverse neonatal outcomes at delivery.MethodsThis study conducted a prospective study for perinatal women (n = 683, 30.54 ± 5.11 years old) to evaluate sleep problems during pregnancy using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Berlin questionnaire, postpartum depressive symptoms using Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS), and clinical signs of neonatal condition at delivery using the Apgar score.ResultsPSQI total score during pregnancy were significantly higher in those with postpartum depressive symptoms than those without 1 month after delivery. PSQI score in the third trimester was significantly associated with postpartum depressive symptoms even after adjustment for relevant confounding factors and self‐reported lifetime depression (odds ratio = 1.19, 95% confidence interval = 1.03–1.36, p = 0.015). The Apgar score at 5 min after birth was significantly lower in those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than those without OSA in the second and third trimesters, although mean scores were within the normal range.ConclusionThis study revealed that sleep problems during pregnancy influence postpartum depression 1 month after delivery. OSA during pregnancy may lead to risks of delivery. Attention should be paid to sleep health during pregnancy to ensure the mental health of mothers and a safe delivery.
Vehicle wheel load positioning method based on multiple projective planes

Published: January 2025

AbstractComputer vision‐based vehicle load monitoring methods could obtain spatiotemporal data of vehicle loads, which is important for bridge monitoring and operation. However, during the process of vehicle detection and tracking, current research usually focuses on the vehicle as a whole, and there is a lack of research on the accurate positioning of vehicle wheel loads. For the fatigue analysis of orthotropic steel deck, stress at the structural details belongs to the typical third‐class system, and related research requires accurate wheel load position. Based on the principle of camera imaging, this study proposes an innovative vehicle wheel load location method based on vehicle license plate detection and multiple projective planes, and the accurate positioning of the vehicle center is achieved by the projective relationship matrix of different planes. Then, accurate measurement of the lateral wheelbase is achieved through secondary detection and projective transformation. Further, accurate wheel load tracking for fatigue research is achieved by the multi‐objective tracking algorithm. Based on theoretical analysis and practical application results, the effectiveness and accuracy of this method have been verified. Different from traditional positioning methods based on vehicle detection boxes and 3D reconstruction boxes, the proposed method has higher accuracy and will play a fundamental role in the use of vehicle load spatiotemporal data for more accurate analysis such as fatigue research.

AbstractBarite ore deposits are common in the southern region of the state of Nuevo León (Sierra Madre Oriental, NE Mexico), which has proven to have an important economic potential. This contribution provides new insights into the ore‐forming conditions and geological controls that produced the barite deposits in Nuevo León. It is based on petrography, geochemical analyses (major and trace‐elements, 87Sr/86Sr, δ34S, δ18O‐ isotopic data and Sr. concentration) of the barite and fluid inclusions microthermometry. The mineralization (veins, beds, and breccias) is associated with calcite, dolomite, quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. In the barite deposits, the isotopic values of barite 87Sr/86Sr vary from 0.70710 to 0.71350, the δ34S values are 13.8‰–25.5‰ and δ18O ranges from 14.1‰ to 18.7‰. Microthermometric measurements on barite, quartz, and carbonate hosted, two‐phase (liquid–vapor) liquid‐rich fluid inclusions indicate that the mineralization may have taken place between 100 and 269°C, and salinities between 3 and 4 wt.% and 9–10 wt.% NaCl equivalent, that suggest a relationship with comparable fluids of seawater and other basinal type. The latter fluid may have been generated (with values variability in 87Sr/86Sr ratios, Sr. and δ34S, as well as Th and salinity) during the tectonic evolution of the Sierra Madre Oriental. We interpret the deposits as Mississippi‐Valley Type by a sequence of the following events. The Event A‐thin‐skinned deformation with Type I fluids: (i) deposit hosted in lithological units stratigraphically close to the Jurassic evaporites. It is characterized by relatively low values of 87Sr/86Sr ratios, δ34S, Sr. and salinity; and (ii) barites hosted in carbonate units with high salinity and δ34S, and values of 87Sr/86Sr ratios and Sr. variable. The Event B‐thick‐skinned deformation: the barite deposits occurred in the red beds unit linked to a fluid Type II, characterized by relatively high values of 87Sr/86Sr ratios, Sr., and low δ34S, and a combined high and low salinity. The new results offer a better understanding of the origin and evolution of barite deposits, allow for the development of increasingly successful exploration plans.
Equivalence to the Classical Heat Equation Through Reciprocal Transformations
Authors: Meleshko S. V. , Siriwat P. , Svirshchevskii S. R. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the equivalence of parabolic partial differential equations to the classical one‐dimensional heat equation using reciprocal transformations. The equations are assumed to be autonomous, and the methodology applied is similar to S. Lie's approach to solving the linearization problem of second‐order ordinary differential equations. The research is structured in two main parts. In the first part, necessary constraints on the class of parabolic partial differential equations with two independent variables, which are equivalent to the classical heat equation under a reciprocal transformation, are identified. In the second part, the remaining conditions are examined, and sufficient conditions are derived. The corresponding differential equations are then obtained. All possible cases that arise are thoroughly analyzed, and the theory is illustrated with several examples.

Reduplication in Nigerian English
Authors: Odiegwu Nancy Chiagolum , Faraclas Nicholas 
Published: January 2025

AbstractReduplication is attested in Nigerian English even though it does not constitute a productive part of the grammar of Inner Circle Englishes. The goal of the present paper is to examine the functions of reduplication in Nigerian English through qualitative analysis. Reduplication is widespread in the ancestral languages spoken in Nigeria. Nevertheless, we postulate that the presence and maintenance of reduplication in Nigerian English are correlated to its presence in Nigerian Pidgin. This can be attributed to linguistic practices such as code‐switching and structural borrowing, motivated by linguistic factors such as the mutual intelligibility between both languages, as well as social factors like language ideology and the intensity of contact between both languages. Such structural transfer highlights the influence of Nigerian Pidgin on Nigerian English, and indeed, of English lexified pidgins and creoles on world Englishes.
Gas Path Fault Diagnosis Method Under Small Samples With Interclass Imbalance

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Current data-driven methods for diagnosing gas path faults in aero-engines often rely on large, costly fault sample sets and face challenges related to class imbalances. These include disparities in the quantity of normal and fault data, differences among fault types, and variations in fault severity levels. This paper proposes a novel generative model, TL-GMVAE, which integrates Gaussian mixture models (GMM) with variational auto-encoders (VAE) and incorporates a transfer learning (TL) strategy. Using a large dataset of normal operational data, the VAE learns latent feature mappings of engine behavior and establishes a joint probability distribution across sensor measurements. To account for complexity in engine operating conditions, the GMM is used as the sampling distribution of the VAE. This enhances the model’s ability to represent diverse operating scenarios. The pretrained model is then fine-tuned with a small dataset of gas path fault data, transferring knowledge to fault domains. Each fault-specific TL-GMVAE model serves as an independent generator for synthetic fault samples. The proposed approach is validated using several established classifiers. The impact of different Fault-Normal ratios and imbalances across fault categories on classification accuracy is analyzed. Additionally, the robustness of the method to individual engine variability is evaluated. Results demonstrate that the TL-GMVAE generates high-quality fault samples and significantly improves fault diagnosis accuracy. These findings highlight its potential application in aero-engine health monitoring and fault diagnosis systems.

Authors: Comino Pablo , Foster Carl , Renfree Andrew , Casado Arturo 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: To analyze tactical behaviors associated with performance in track middle-distance global championship finals. Methods: Finalists’ season-best finishing race time, 100-m section times, and intermediate positions were obtained from 800- and 1500-m men’s and women’s finals in 2 Olympic Games and 5 World Championships. Differences between medalists, fourth- to eighth-ranked (T8), and ninth- to 12th/13th-ranked finalists in relative performance (relative to season-best), race time, and section times were determined. Pearson correlations between intermediate position and section speed with final position and probability of winning a medal at each race point were calculated. Results: A very high correlation was found between intermediate and final position at the first 100 m in the women’s 800-m (r = .84; P = .008), which was maintained throughout the race. Medalists were relatively faster than T8 in men’s and women’s 800-m finals (P = .006; d = 0.87, and P = .039; d = 0.59, respectively). Differences in relative performance between groups in 1500-m finals appeared at the end of the race, although they arose earlier in women’s races. The probability of winning a medal decreased with lower intermediate positions, especially in the latest race stages. Conclusions: A high intermediate position, as well as the ability to run fast in the latest race stages, seems critical to medaling in track middle-distance global championship finals. The abilities to adopt leading positions for the whole 800-m event and to generate an end spurt relatively faster than the rest of competitors in the 1500-m event are critical.
Incidentally discovered inflammatory pseudotumour of the spleen: understanding clinical manifestations and diagnosis
Authors: Quinn Dylan , Morocho Bryant , Bertsch David 
Published: January 2025

A splenic inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) is a rare condition in which inflammatory cells and non-cancerous specialised cells known as myofibroblasts abnormally replicate in the spleen. Patients with IPT may experience symptoms like abdominal pain, fever and weight loss, making it difficult to distinguish from processes like cancer. As a result, diagnosing IPT often requires imaging studies and microscopic examination.Here, we present a case of a woman in her 60s with a history significant for acute myeloid leukaemia now in remission who presented with abdominal pain and constitutional symptoms. Imaging revealed a new 3 cm mass in her spleen. A biopsy of the mass followed by removal confirmed the identity of the mass as an IPT. Following the operation, the patient recovered without complications. This case underscores the importance of considering IPT when diagnosing splenic masses as well as considering surgical removal to achieve a definitive diagnosis.

. A temperature difference of approximately 450 K between the components is observed, along with evidence of magnetic activity (manifested as the O’Connell effect) in the secondary star. This activity is attributed to a cool spot with a radius of 16 degrees and a temperature 30% lower than the surrounding region. The system’s geometry, characterized by an almost zero fill-out ratio, suggests that it is in a transient phase between detached and contact configurations, commonly referred to as shallow contact. This interpretation is further supported by an analysis of the system’s dynamical evolution and its thermal stability parameter,

$$\mathcal {S} = -0.02$$

The analysis suggests that the system’s evolution is primarily driven by angular momentum loss due to magnetic stellar wind and tidal coupling mechanisms.
Investigation of explosives traces in pre-blast contamination scenarios using optimised wet swab sampling
Authors: Becher Christopher W. , Milne Sarah , Kaul Peter M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Explosives trace residues on surfaces are utilized for forensic investigations and to check suspicious objects using technical and non-technical detection procedures. Data about expected trace contaminations after the handling of explosives and how they relate to a potential chemical background help to determine requirements and limitations of detection procedures. Often swab sampling is used for the analysis of surface contaminations. A wet swab sampling procedure was optimized for PETN, TNT and ammonium nitrate. Good results were achieved using PU-foam swabs wetted with a mixture of acetonitrile/water (90/10). The swabs were subsequently solvent extracted and analysed using LC-triple-quad-MS and ion-chromatography. The swabs were applied for the determination of explosives residues in a mock-up car scenario simulating one person loading the car with explosives followed by a short car travel by the same person. As test substances an ANFO, TNT and plasticized PETN were used. Additional samples were taken from indoor installations regularly used for the training of explosive detection dogs as well as other objects and buildings close by. The surface contaminations found in the investigated scenario ranged from the ng to the µg scale. The results indicate that simple cleaning procedures might not sufficient to remove explosives contaminations in training settings for explosives detection dogs. A significant spreading of explosive traces beyond direct contact with the person handling the explosive or with the explosive itself was not observed.
