Abstract

Purpose
This article aims to investigate the structural behavior of beam–column joints subjected to axial force. The geometry used is the addition of a number of beam connections to the column, and the differences in the numbers of beams used are 1, 2, 4, and 4, denoted as V1, V2, V3, and V4, respectively.

Design/methodology/approach
In this work, the analysis was performed using the numerical finite element method with ABAQUS software. A benchmarking analysis was also conducted to validate the numerical results.

Findings
Several numerical simulations showed that of the variations tested, the V2 model demonstrated the highest force value among the four test models, at 130.883 kN. The displacement caused by the force was 227.32 mm, which was the lowest value among the four test models. On the other hand, the V3 model received the smallest force value among the four test models, at 24.576 kN, with a displacement of 227.49 mm. The displacement value was greater than that for the V2 model, further indicating that the V2 model was the stiffest of the four models tested.

Originality/value
This study shows that the influence of beam–column joint geometry is not limited to double-extended end-plate bolted connections.
Preparing for the deployment of ready-made stories in social interaction: reflexivity and narrative practices in professional communication
Authors: Merminod Gilles 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Since the nineties, the idea that narratives are essential for an efficient communication has massively spread in management, marketing and politics, supported by the profuse publication of storytelling guides and criticized by a number of social commentators. Nevertheless, little is known about how reflexive activities specific to professional communication partake in the visibility and solidification of this specific way of conceiving the use of stories. Drawing on semiotic-inspired works in linguistic anthropology, studies on talk-in-interaction and narrative analysis, this article analyzes how reflexive activities contribute to the construction of specific conceptions of what narratives are and what they do in professional communication. To achieve this, the article relies on a single case study that details the kind of ready-made stories and contextualization devices a storytelling guide provides for its readers. The analysis shows that the storytelling guide builds up a cultural model that is both archiving past narrative situations (a model-of action) and potentially generating new narrative situations (a model-for action). By doing so, the storytelling guide not only singles out specific communicative resources but also fuels a metapragmatic model in which accomplished storytellers are at the top of the social structure.

Published: April 2023

AbstractVitamins are essential micronutrients, but the mechanisms of vitamin chemoreception in animals are poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence that vitamin C doubles starvation resistance and induces egg laying inDrosophila melanogaster. Our behavioral analyses of genetically engineered and anatomically ablated flies show that fruit flies sense vitamin C via sweet‐sensing gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) in the labellum. Using a behavioral screen andin vivoelectrophysiological analyses of ionotropic receptors (IRs) and sweet‐sensing gustatory receptors (GRs), we find that two broadly tuned IRs (i.e., IR25a and IR76b) and five GRs (i.e., GR5a, GR61a, GR64b, GR64c, and GR64e) are essential for vitamin C detection. Thus, vitamin C is directly detected by the fly labellum and requires at least two distinct receptor types. Next, we expand our electrophysiological study to test attractive tastants such as sugars, carboxylic acids, and glycerol. Our analysis elucidates the molecular basis of chemoreception in sweet‐sensing GRNs.

Authors: Adamčák Štefan , Marko Michal , Bartík Pavol 
Published: April 2023

Study purpose. Declining levels of physical activity in adolescence are of increasing concern, with data showing the difference of ≥ 8% by gender in favor of adolescent boys; therefore, the present study aims at determining physical (in)activity gender gap of non-athlete adolescent boys and girls in Slovakia.
Materials and methods. Standardized measure to estimate the habitual practice of physical activity (IPAQ-SF) was carried out six months (January – June, 2022), through the intentional sampling of 1 517 Slovak non-athlete adolescent boys (40.54%, n = 615) and girls (59.46%, n = 902), aged 18 – 19 years (18.50 ± 0.50 years), attending the secondary schools. Descriptive statistics (e.g., measures of frequency, central tendency), two-sample t-test and chi-square test (x2) were used to analyze and compare the data.
Results. When considering the physical activity (seven-day week) in adolescence, the Slovak non-athlete adolescent boys and girls reported: (i) high levels of physical activity – 51.73% (n = 785); (ii) moderate levels of physical activity – 25.92% (n = 393); (iii) low levels of physical activity – 22.35% (n = 339) (p ˂ 0.01). When considering the gender gap in physical activity in adolescence, total physical activity (seven-day week), expressed in MET-minutes/ week, was lower (statistically, p ˂ 0.01; difference of 712 MET-minutes/ week) among the Slovak non-athlete adolescent girls (1 898 MET-minutes/ week), compared to boys (2 610 MET-minutes/ week). And when considering the gender gap and sitting time (sedentary behavior), the Slovak non-athlete adolescent girls were more sedentary, compared to boys (p ˃ 0.05) (360 vs. 330 minutes/ week).
Conclusions. Constant low levels of physical activity in adolescence constitute the public health emergency of international concern; therefore, the urgent policy action to increase the physical activity is necessary; in particular, in promoting and retaining the adolescent girls’ participation in physical activity.

Chinese characters are not only the basic unit of Chinese writing but also an important tool for carrying culture. There are a lot of Chinese characters with a long history, about six thousand years of history. Chinese characters are very difficult for foreign students, including Indonesian students, and it is also one of the difficulties in learning Chinese. Chinese characters and Indonesian writing systems are quite different. The research methods used in this article are descriptive and comparative analysis. First, describe the characteristics of Chinese characters and the characteristics of the Indonesian writing system. After comparing the characteristics of Chinese characters and the Indonesian number writing system, the differences between Chinese characters and the Indonesian writing system are found. This study found that the differences between Chinese and Indonesian writing systems are mainly manifested in the nature of the characters, the shape of the characters, the syllables, spaces needed when writing, and the relationship between the text and the dialect.

Authors: Eleskina Anastasia , Filippova Olga V. , Pyatigorskaya Nathalia V. 
Published: April 2023

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic situation had a great impact on all spheres of people’s lives. It also affected clinical trials as Sponsors, sites and investigators faced a number of problems, such as systematic IMP taking, adherence to protocol visits, efficacy evaluations, laboratory procedures, and analyses.
Materials and Methods: The amendments issued in 2020 were compared with the amendments issued in the previous three years 2017-2019. The literature about COVID-19 and its impact on clinical trials were analyzed. Clinical trial protocol amendments published in 2020 were studied to evaluate pandemic influence on ongoing clinical studies. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the correlation analysis.
Results: The highest quantity of amendments was released in 2020 –14 (36%). Fewer amendments came out in 2019 – 13 (33%), in 2018 – 9 (23%), and the fewest amendments were issued in 2017 – 3 (8%).
Conclusion: The existing system of clinical trial protocol creation is dependable and adequate. It allows reacting flexibly to unexpected challenges, like COVID-19, fully complying with the prescribed procedures and carefully observing participants’ safety and well-being. That is why the current pandemic did not affect the number of protocol amendments.

Shapley Value for Shortest Path Routing in Dynamic Networks
Authors: Masimli Aykhan 
Published: April 2023

Transportation is a crucial component of supply chain management, responsible
for delivering goods and services to customers. This paper explores the
application of game theory concepts, precisely the Shapley value, to cost allocation
in transportation operations involving drones and trucks.
Our focus is on shortest-path games in which agents own nodes in a network
and seek to transport items between nodes at the lowest possible cost. We
provide a comprehensive literature review of the Shapley value and its use in
shortest-path games, with particular emphasis on transportation networks.
Our proposed model includes sets of customers, drones, and trucks and uses
binary decision variables to indicate whether a drone or truck serves a given
customer. The objective is to minimize the total cost of serving all customers
while adhering to capacity and synchronization constraints. We use the Shapley
value to determine the contribution and cost-sharing of each drone and truck in
serving the customers.
Through a combination of denitions, theorems, and examples, we explore
the formal meaning of the Shapley value and its relationship to shortest-path
games in transportation networks. We highlight exceptional cases and considerations
that must be taken into account when applying the Shapley value in
such scenarios.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: In Puerto Rico (PR), the burden of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVDRF) in women is high. CVDRF during pregnancy is a threat to maternal and child health. Little is known about CVDRF among pregnant women in PR.
Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from pregnancy charts (n=264; no prior pregnancies) from an outpatient clinic in PR. CVDRF included: pre-pregnancy obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and hypertension, and gestational diabetes and hypertension. Age was categorized as: 21-25y,26- 30y, and 31-35y. Analyses included adjusted logistic and multinomial regressions.
Results: Obesity pre-pregnancy was the most common CVDRF (23.5%). Women of 31-35y (vs. 21-25y) had higher odds of T2D/gestational diabetes (OR=4.66; 95% CI=1.18, 18.4) and were more likely to experience 2+ CVDRF (RRR=2.73; 95% CI=1.10, 6.80).
Discussion: Pregnant women in PR experienced CVDRF, and these were more common among women of older age. Studies are needed to confirm our findings and monitor the health of women at high risk of CVD during postpartum.
Significance: There is a need for studies documenting CVD risk factors among pregnant women in PR. Such knowledge is needed for early intervention and to preserve women’s health and that of children in PR.
Conflicts Between Priming and Explicit Memory: A Question of Fluency?
Authors: Weller P. , Recio G. , Kaltwasser L. , Nowparast-Rostami H. , Stuermer B. , Sommer W. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
A basic distinction in theories of human memory is between explicit and implicit types of memory. However, little is known, how these forms of memory interact. An interesting test case is the repetition priming effect for unfamiliar faces in familiarity decisions on the target, which is highly variable and may even reverse. Here, we tested the hypothesis that this reversed priming effect may be due to conflicts between implicit and explicit memory. After replicating the reverse priming effect, three different manipulations were effective in diminishing it. We suggest that each of these manipulations diminished the ambiguity regarding the source of priming-induced fluency of target processing. Event-related potentials were consistent with the conflict account but insensitive to the experimental manipulations. Our findings argue against a strictly independent view of explicit and implicit memory and support an interactive account of different types of memory.
Multi-staged development and pilot testing of a self-assessment tool for organizational health literacy
Authors: Klockmann Izumi , Jaß Leonie , Härter Martin , Knesebeck Olaf von dem , Lüdecke Daniel , Heeg Johanna 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: Until now a comprehensive, consensus-based tool that can be used by a variety of health care organizations for assessing their organizational health literacy (OHL) is missing. Therefore, we aimed to develop and test a literature- and consensus-based self-assessment tool.
Methods: The study is based on a literature review that was previously published by the authors. For the development of the self-assessment tool, the criteria identified in the literature were synthesized with criteria gained through group discussions with representatives of different types of health care organizations all based in Hamburg (Germany). Consensus on the criteria was reached through a Delphi process. A review by the project’s persons with lived experience committee was included in the process. The self-assessment tool was converted into an online tool and refined through a pretest. Finally, the online survey was piloted and the reliability and item loadings for each scale were analyzed.
Results: In total, 77 criteria (items) characterizing a health literate health care organization were developed and grouped into five main categories (scales): 1) “easy access and navigation”, 2) “integration, prioritization, and dissemination of OHL”, 3) “qualification, quality management, evaluation, and needs assessment”, 4) “communication with target groups”, and 5) “involvement and support of target groups”. The results of the online survey showed that the tool is suitable for assessing an organization’s status quo on OHL. The psychometric analysis showed good to excellent internal consistency. Item analyses supported the developed self-assessment tool structure.
Conclusions: We were able to define a set of 77 items to characterize OHL. These can be used as a new, comprehensive, and consensus-based self-assessment tool to identify aspects that need improvement. We found evidence that the self-assessment tool, based on the identified criteria, consists of the assumed five scales. Further research should analyze the validity of the self-assessment tool on a higher detail level.

Abstract
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant organism with an increasing frequency of hospital-acquired infections predominantly in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance and frequency of the smeD, class1 integron, and sul1 genes in clinical isolates of S. maltophilia in two Iranian provinces. From January 2020 to September 2021, 38 clinical isolates of S. maltophila were collected from patients in hospitals in Tabriz and Sanandaj provinces of Iran. S. maltophilia isolates were confirmed by standard bacteriological tests and 16S rRNA gene PCR. Disc diffusion and E-test methods were used to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern. PCR was performed to investigate the presence of smeD, class1 integron, and sul1 genes. The antimicrobial test for the isolated S. maltophilia showed a high level of sensitivity against most of the antibiotics used. Maximum sensitivity was recorded for ciprofloxacin [100% (38/38)] and levofloxacin 100% (38/38), followed by ceftazidim [97.36% (37/38)], trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [94.73% (36/38)], ticarcillin-clavulanate [60.52% (23/38)] and piperacillin-tazobactam [55.26% (21/38)]. We observed a high prevalence of smeD [100% (38/38)] and class1 integron [94.73% (36/38)] genes in the isolates, and none of the isolates carried the sul1 gene. The findings from this study indicate that resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was not observed and still, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is the best drug with desirable antimicrobial effect in the treatment of nosocomial infections caused by S. maltophilia strains. Despite the observation of a high number of class1 integron, the sul1 gene was not observed, which indicates the role of this gene in high-level trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance and not having a role in low-level resistance. Based on our results clinical microbiology laboratories need continuous surveillance of resistance rates to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, because of the possibility of S. maltophilia acquiring trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole-resistance by mobile gen elements.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a devastating condition common in patients with Alzheimer’s disease but also observed in the general population. Vascular oxidative stress and neurovascular dysfunction have been implicated in CAA but the cellular source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and related signaling mechanisms remain unclear. We tested the hypothesis that brain border-associated macrophages (BAM), yolk sac-derived myeloid cells closely apposed to parenchymal and leptomeningeal blood vessels, are the source of radicals through the Aβ-binding innate immunity receptor CD36, leading to neurovascular dysfunction, CAA, and cognitive impairment.
Methods: Tg2576 mice and WT littermates were transplanted with CD36-/- or CD36+/+ bone marrow at 12-month of age and tested at 15 months. This approach enables the repopulation of perivascular and leptomeningeal compartments with CD36-/- BAM. Neurovascular function was tested in anesthetized mice equipped with a cranial window in which cerebral blood flow was monitored by laser-Doppler flowmetry. Amyloid pathology and cognitive function were also examined.
Results: The increase in blood flow evoked by whisker stimulation (functional hyperemia) or by endothelial and smooth muscle vasoactivity was markedly attenuated in WT®Tg2576 chimeras but was fully restored in CD36-/-®Tg2576 chimeras, in which BAM ROS production was suppressed. CAA-associated Aβ1-40, but not Aβ1-42, was reduced in CD36-/-®Tg2576 chimeras. Similarly, CAA, but not parenchymal plaques, was reduced in CD36-/-®Tg2576 chimeras. These beneficial vascular effects were associated with cognitive improvement. Finally, CD36-/- mice were able to more efficiently clear exogenous Aβ1-40 injected into the neocortex or the striatum.
Conclusions: CD36 deletion in BAM suppresses ROS production and rescues the neurovascular dysfunction and damage induced by Aβ. CD36 deletion in BAM also reduced brain Aβ1-40 and ameliorated CAA without affecting parenchyma plaques. Lack of CD36 enhanced the vascular clearance of exogenous Aβ. Restoration of neurovascular function and attenuation of CAA resulted in a near complete rescue of cognitive function. Collectively, these data implicate CNS BAM in the pathogenesis of CAA and raise the possibility that targeting BAM CD36 is beneficial in CAA and other conditions associated with vascular Aβ deposition and damage.
