GROUND HOUSE: A case study of a cognitively diverse space
Authors: Shigaki Takayuki 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis project is an attempt to build a house in a suburban residential area that incorporates the broad meaning of the word “house” typified by the farmhouses and townhouses that were once common in Japan. To do this, we performed a case study on a house possessing cognitively diverse properties based on the concept of “dots” and “cues” inspired by Gestalt theory.

AbstractPurposeImproving efficiency of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treatment can be achieved by shortening the beam delivery time. The purpose of this study is to reduce the delivery time of IMPT, while maintaining the plan quality, by finding the optimal initial proton spot placement parameters.MethodsSeven patients previously treated in the thorax and abdomen with gated IMPT and voluntary breath‐hold were included. In the clinical plans, the energy layer spacing (ELS) and spot spacing (SS) were set to 0.6–0.8 (as a scale factor of the default values). For each clinical plan, we created four plans with ELS increased to 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and SS to 1.0 while keeping all other parameters unchanged. All 35 plans (130 fields) were delivered on a clinical proton machine and the beam delivery time was recorded for each field.ResultsIncreasing ELS and SS did not cause target coverage reduction. Increasing ELS had no effect on critical organ‐at‐risk (OAR) doses or the integral dose, while increasing SS resulted in slightly higher integral and selected OAR doses. Beam‐on times were 48.4 ± 9.2 (range: 34.1–66.7) seconds for the clinical plans. Time reductions were 9.2 ± 3.3 s (18.7 ± 5.8%), 11.6 ± 3.5 s (23.1 ± 5.9%), and 14.7 ± 3.9 s (28.9 ± 6.1%) when ELS was changed to 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4, respectively, corresponding to 0.76–0.80 s/layer. SS change had a minimal effect (1.1 ± 1.6 s, or 1.9 ± 2.9%) on the beam‐on time.ConclusionIncreasing the energy layers spacing can reduce the beam delivery time effectively without compromising IMPT plan quality; increasing the SS had no meaningful impact on beam delivery time and resulted in plan‐quality degradation in some cases.

AbstractRobotic machine interfaces with sensor devices in robotics applications can facilitate the proper handling of objects. The wide‐range responses of the sensors are important for achieving statement of recognition in tactile sensing systems. Thus, this study proposes a novel micro‐pore‐induced soft pressure sensor via wide‐range response by synthesizing functional composite materials with ether‐surfactant and conductive materials. The aim is to produce soft pressure sensors that are highly responsive and exhibit a wide sensitivity range for the detection of an applied pressure. The sensor comprises a multiwalled‐carbon nanotube, an ether‐based surfactant, and polymeric soft materials, which exhibit high‐speed response characteristics because of the microporous structure of the sensing layer. Moreover, a novel wearable robotic machine interface for facilitating object manipulation is achieved. Furthermore, the findings of this study in terms of the performance of the robotic‐tactile sensing sensor confirm its suitability for the machine interface of an artificial perception system. Furthermore, a real‐time tactile sensing system using the manufactured sensor in the form of wearable e‐skins is experimentally demonstrated.

AbstractAimTumor rupture has been indicated as a risk factor for recurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). The universal definition of tumor rupture was proposed. This study evaluated whether the universal definition was more accurate in identification of GISTs with high recurrent risk than subjective judgment.MethodsThe study included 507 patients with high‐risk GISTs who underwent complete resection between December 2012 and December 2015. We conducted a questionnaire survey in participating institutes to re‐diagnose tumor rupture based on the universal definition according to their surgical and pathological findings. We compared the clinical outcomes of tumor rupture based on the definition to those based on the surgeon's judgment and clarified the clinical importance of the rupture.ResultsSixty‐four patients were initially registered to have tumor rupture by surgeon's judgment, and it became 90 patients who had tumor rupture after reevaluation. Although there were significant differences in recurrence‐free survival (RFS) between no rupture and rupture for both initial registration and reevaluation (p = 0.002, <0.001, respectively), a significant difference in overall survival was only observed after reevaluation (p = 0.011). Tumor rupture was significantly associated with large tumor size, mixed cell type in histology, R1 resection, frequent adjuvant therapy and recurrence, but not with location, mitosis, and genotype. Adjuvant therapy more than 3 years improved RFS of patients with tumor rupture.ConclusionThis study suggested that tumor rupture based on the universal definition more accurately identified GISTs with poor prognostic outcomes than the subjective judgment.

AbstractLittle is known about the mental well‐being of adults living with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC). The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of depression in an international population of adults with AMC and to identify variables independently associated with depression. This cross‐sectional study used independent samples t‐test and hierarchical multiple regression. The mean Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—depression (HADS‐D) score of our sample, which included 60 adults with AMC, was 4.0 ± 3.6, with 19% having some signs of depression. Occupation status, age, sex, physical independence, environmental factors, anxiety, and fatigue explained 52.2% of the variance in HADS‐D. The prevalence of depression in an adult sample of individuals with AMC is similar to that of the general adult population in the United States. Beyond direct interventions to ameliorate depression, rehabilitation clinicians may also consider treatments and interventions to decrease anxiety and reduce fatigue and environmental barriers.
Introduction to Antibiotic Stewardship Principles for the Perioperative Nurse
Authors: Gomez Jessica , Domonoske Christine , Chang Michael 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACTSince 1942, health care personnel have administered antibiotics in the United States to prevent and treat a variety of infections, including surgical site infections. Bacteria can mutate and develop resistance after frequent and repeated antibiotic exposure, thus limiting the antibiotic's effectiveness. Because antibiotic resistance can be passed from one bacterium to another, antibiotics are the only class of medications where use in one patient may negatively affect clinical outcomes in another. Antibiotic stewardship (AS) focuses on appropriate antibiotic selection, dosing, route, and duration of therapy; it seeks to minimize unplanned consequences, such as resistance and toxicity. Although there is a lack of literature on AS specific to perioperative nurses, general nursing practice includes AS activities (eg, assessing patient allergies, adhering to antibiotic administration recommendations). Perioperative nurses should participate in AS activities and use evidence‐based strategies to communicate effectively with health care team members when advocating for appropriate antibiotic use.
Quarternized polysulfone/ZSM‐5 zeolite composite anion exchange membrane separators for aluminum‐air battery
Authors: Lekoane Tlhologelo , Msomi Phumlani F. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractA membrane is a critical component of an Al‐air battery because it provides ion transport and ensures separation of the anode and cathode. In this work, a series of quaternized polysulfone (QPSF) membrane blended with ZSM‐5 zeolite anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were fabricated by solution casting to be used as separators in Al‐air batteries. All membranes showed moderate to excellent water uptake (WU), swelling ratio, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and ion conductivity measurements (IC). Incorporation of ZSM‐5 zeolite resulted in hydrophilicity and improved WU, with QPSF/3 wt% ZSM‐5 retaining 114% water at room temperature. The QPSF/3 wt% ZSM‐5 composite membrane was the best performing membrane with the IEC and the highest hydration number of 2.85 mmol g−1, 2.23, and a maximum of IC of 229.85 mS cm−1 at room temperature, respectively. QPSF/3 wt% ZSM‐5 retained 65% of its original IC in an alkaline medium after 7 days. QPSF/3 wt% ZSM‐5 exhibited a stable discharge voltage of 1.3 V and a specific capacity of 11,716 mAh/gAl in a laboratory fabricated Al‐air cell. This study provides an excellent anion exchange composite membrane separator candidate for Al‐air battery applications.
Chances for children: The 22‐year journey of psychodynamic/attachment‐based infant mental health in underserved communities
Authors: Mayers Hillary , Buckner Elizabeth 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis paper follows the 22‐year journey of a small community‐based program with roots in a psychoanalytic training institute, to the program's current status as an independent non‐profit organization serving families throughout the Bronx with psychodynamic, attachment‐based parent‐infant treatment. The product of an unusual collaboration among a psychoanalytic training institute, a program of the NYC Department of Education and several generous foundations, we aimed to offer teen mothers a dyadic model of parent‐infant intervention based on the principles of psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and mentalization through the lens of an infant mental health perspective. Underlying the creation, implementation, and expansion of the Chances for Children organization at every level were questions of basic trust and mistrust, class, and culture. With this in mind, we describe the development of the model, collaborations with institutions and communities, and the obstacles we encountered along the way. On a macro level, we consider questions of class, culture, and institution that we encountered on every level in institutional bureaucracy, in community outreach, and in collaborating programs. On a more micro level, we use the contexts of a teen‐parent therapeutic group and a dyadic mother‐child treatment to address issues that arise when white, middle‐class clinicians of privilege work in communities of color that are frequently suffering insufficiencies in food, housing, jobs, and experiencing random violence. Finally, we reflect on what has made the work of Chances for Children possible, successful, and enduring even as we embarked on the telehealth practices necessary during the COVID pandemic.

AbstractBi2O3 is a theoretically high capacitive anode material; however, its low conductivity and deficient surface‐active sites lead to reduced practical capability compared to the theoretical one. Herein, a facile and environmentally benign strategy is developed to simultaneously tailor the morphology and create oxygen vacancies in Bi2O3 by adding trace water in a solvothermal procedure. Here trace water serves as an intermediary agent to change the growth mechanism of Bi2O3 and form a hierarchical structure with increased crystallinity. Electrochemical experiments reveal that the optimal tremella‐shaped Bi2O3 delivers a higher specific capacity, approximately reaching 65 % of the theoretical one. Such satisfactory electrochemical performance is due to the regulated tremella shape and the created oxygen vacancies, which can expose more electrochemical active‐sites and promote ion diffusion. Moreover, the massive oxygen vacancies and increased crystallinity are also beneficial for electron transfer, thus enhancing the capacity. Eventually, a Bi2O3‐6//AC asymmetric device is constructed and a superior energy density (40.8 Wh kg−1) is realized than the others Bi2O3‐based peers. This study paves a facile way for exploring advanced Bi2O3‐based alkaline battery anode materials through an environmentally benign method.

AbstractA low‐bandgap PBDTDTPD polymer is synthesized. It is a donor‐acceptor‐type polymer that consists of dialkylthiophenyl benzodithiophene (BDT) donor unit and N‐octyl‐2,7‐dithia‐5‐aza‐cyclopenta[a]pentalene‐4,6‐dione (DTPD) acceptor unit. The thienothiophene‐fused strong‐electron‐withdrawing DTPD effectively reduces the bandgap of the resulting polymer and keeps its highest occupied molecular orbital low. Moreover, PBDTDTPD is thermally stable and dissolves well in typical organic solvents. PBDTDTPD:PC71BM(1:1) blend film showed a power conversion efficiency of 3.18% and a largely elevated open‐circuit voltage of 0.75 V compared to that of well‐known P3HT:PC61BM blend film. In this work, we prove that the DTPD moiety can be utilized to develop a future low‐bandgap material that can absorb a broad wavelength of light and have high thermal stability, which are important characteristics for next‐generation high‐performance organic solar cells.

AbstractEmpowered by reticular chemistry, an ocu‐metal‐organic framework (MOF) catalyst has been created for the first time. The catalyst, SYD‐1, was rationally designed and successfully synthesised by assembling 8‐c prismatic zirconium oxo‐clusters and 6‐c octahedral Ru(bpy)32+‐based metalloligands into a three‐dimensional structure. Catalytically active metal sites were then attached to the coordinatively unsaturated sites on the Zr oxo‐clusters postsynthetically via a sequential practice of solvent‐assisted ligand exchange and metalation processes, giving rise to SYD‐1‐CuNi. SYD‐1‐CuNi was thoroughly characterised via an array of X‐ray diffraction, 77 K N2 sorption experiments, nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, microscopic analysis, optical absorption spectra analysis and electrochemical measurements to demonstrate the successful synthesis of the targeted SYD‐1‐CuNi and its potential in photocatalysis. The photocatalytic performance of SYD‐1‐CuNi was illustrated by driving a model reaction, namely photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (yield of CH4 19.2 μmol g−1 h−1)/hydrogen evolution reaction (yield of H2 200.4 μmol g−1 h−1) concomitantly with oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde (286.6 μmol g−1 h−1). The present work highlights the power and potential of reticular chemistry in the at‐will synthesis of MOF materials for a specific application.

Published: April 2023

AbstractSome wild relatives have higher grain zinc (Zn) concentrations than common wheat and were widely used for wheat biofortification. However, little is known about the mechanisms controlling Zn accumulation in wheat and its wild relatives. This study is aimed to shed light on the causes of different grain Zn concentrations in wheat at a physiological level. Six genotypes, including one Triticale, one Triticum monococcum, one Triticum petropavlovskyi, and three Triticum aestivum, with different grain Zn concentrations, were evaluated in this study. Zn concentrations in roots and aboveground tissues in the field at grain maturity were measured to assess the differences in Zn uptake and partitioning among genotypes. Zn concentrations in roots and shoots at the seedling stage in hydroponics were also assessed to see if the differences in Zn uptake efficiencies could be identified before planting in the laboratory. The triticale had the highest grain Zn concentration, followed by the cultivated einkorn wheat, the T. petropavlovskyi wheat, and then the three common wheat varieties. No difference in Zn concentration was detected between grains from the main stem and grains from tillers. Genotypes with high grain Zn concentration generally had higher Zn uptake and rachis Zn loading efficiencies. The cultivated einkorn wheat showed retarded translocation of Zn in nodes. Genotypes with high Zn uptake efficiencies may be identified at the seedling stage in hydroponics. Grain Zn concentration is a product of multiple physiological processes. Roots, nodes, and rachis could be the potential target tissues for further research related to grain Zn accumulation.
King rail (Rallus elegans) home range and microhabitat characteristics in western Lake Erie coastal marshes

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird that is threatened or endangered in eight of nine states and provinces in the Laurentian Great Lakes (Great Lakes) region. Available survey data suggests that this species has undergone population declines across this region and these are believed to have been driven by habitat loss and degradation. An improved understanding of the amount and type of habitat king rails require during the breeding season at sites within the Great Lakes region would inform and improve progress toward conservation goals. During 2019–2021, we caught and radio‐tagged 14 king rails in northwestern Ohio and southeastern Michigan within impounded coastal wetlands of western Lake Erie. We used radio telemetry to identify breeding season (May–August) home‐range characteristics and third order habitat selection within home ranges (hereafter microhabitat). For the birds whose home range stabilized (N = 10), we found a mean home‐range size of 8.8 ha (±1.63 [SE]; range = 1.9 to 15.8). We generated a classification tree to determine which habitat characteristics were associated with king rail presence within home ranges in our study. We found that vegetative density within home ranges was particularly associated with king rail presence. Phragmites australis was also associated with king rail presence, despite its invasiveness and negative ecological impacts in the region, and could be selectively maintained to benefit king rails. Our results suggest that managers may be able to provide microhabitat for king rails by maintaining water depths of 6 to 17 cm and by promoting native, robust vegetation in the genera Carex and Juncus. Our findings could help inform wetland managers and conservation planners in the Great Lakes region, particularly in western Lake Erie coastal marshes, of patch sizes, water depths, plant communities, and vegetative structure preferred by king rails.
Is the uncertain self good at detecting lies? The influence of personal uncertainty on deception detection

Published: April 2023

AbstractFive experiments (total number of judging participants = 1309, four different kinds of stimulus materials with a total of 464 messages, total number of judgements = 19,634) investigated the influence of personal uncertainty on the process of lie detection in social relationships. Building on and extending basic assumptions of uncertainty management models, we reasoned that uncertainty about themselves motivates people to evaluate the quality of their relationships. A crucial aspect of the quality of relationships with other people is the truthfulness with which they communicate verbally with you and anyone else. We proposed that if these assumptions are valid, reminding people of their personal uncertainties should lead them to use valid verbal cues in veracity judgements more. This enhanced usage of valid verbal cues should result in better accuracy in deception detection. An internal meta‐analysis of the five experiments reveals only a small, not significant, overall effect of uncertainty salience on detection accuracy with larger effect sizes for experiments conducted in the laboratory than for those conducted online. Hence, if personal uncertainty plays a role in the process of deception detection, it seems to be subject to moderators such as methodological or motivational factors.
Cream skimming and discrimination in access to medical care: A field experiment
Authors: Chareyron Sylvain , L’Horty Yannick , Petit Pascale 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study measures the differences in access to healthcare for female patients in France in three medical specialties (dentistry, gynecology and psychiatry) according to two criteria: the African ethnicity of the patient and the benefit of having means‐tested health insurance coverage. To this purpose, we conducted a nationally representative field experiment on more than 1500 physicians. We do not find substantial discrimination against the patient of African origin. However, the results indicate that patients with means‐tested health insurance coverage are less likely to get an appointment. Differentiating between two types of coverage, we show that the lesser‐known coverage (ACS) is more penalized than the other (CMU‐C) as poor knowledge of the program increases the physician's expectation of additional administrative tasks and is an important element to explain cream‐skimming. We also find that, for physicians who are free to set their fees, the opportunity cost of accepting a means‐tested patient increases the penalty. Finally, the results suggest that enrollment in OPTAM, the controlled pricing practice option that incentivizes physicians to accept means‐tested patients, reduces cream‐skimming.
