Fluid identification by nonlinear frequency‐dependent amplitude variation with offset inversion based on scattering theory
Authors: Lan Tianjun , Zong Zhaoyun , Jia Weihua 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPre‐stack seismic amplitude variation with offset inversion is a crucial technique in seismic exploration, employed to estimate reservoir elastic parameters and thus reservoir fluid properties. However, traditional amplitude variation with offset inversion methods are based on elastic theory and linear approximation, neglecting the inelasticity of medium and nonlinear theory. To overcome this limitation, a quadratic scattering coefficient equation of the viscoelastic fluid factor is derived, which provides the basis for the equation for amplitude variation with offset inversion. Traditional amplitude variation with offset inversion methods typically neglect seismic dispersion and attenuation, failing to account for the influence of the seismic wave velocity attenuation and frequency variation. Quality factors of P‐ and S‐waves represent the degree of attenuation of seismic waves. To comprehensively address the effects of seismic wave dispersion and attenuation, a novel method called pre‐stack seismic nonlinear frequency‐dependent amplitude variation with offset inversion has been developed. This method builds upon the new quadratic scattering coefficient and is utilized for reservoir fluid prediction. The reliability and stability of the method are verified through synthetic and filed data examples. Further analysis reveals that the method is more reasonable and accurate compared to the traditional linear amplitude variation with offset inversion method. The results demonstrate that the proposed pre‐stack seismic nonlinear frequency‐dependent amplitude variation with offset inversion method can effectively identify reservoir fluids, providing a novel solution for reservoir fluid identification.

AbstractReshoring can be theorized as a brand‐revitalizing process for fostering companies’ ability to create value in the home country. The question of how to maintain sustainable reshoring implementation strategies by developing favourable brand responses is an important but underexplored field. Given that reshoring brand meanings are socially constructed and causally inferenced by consumers, we advocate that a reshoring brand revitalization should begin by understanding what constitutes customers’ attributions to reshoring motives. We identify values‐driven, stakeholder‐driven and strategic‐driven attributions as determinants of the sense of the institutionalization process (brand authenticity, legitimacy and sustainability). These institutional logics comprise drivers that influence brand love and brand advocacy. We conduct an empirical study (n = 1043) in China. The findings indicate that institutionalized reshoring branding activity is significantly influenced by customers’ attributions to underlying reshoring decisions. Reshoring brands that achieve institutional recognition are more likely to generate brand love and advocacy. In addition, our study provides empirical evidence that nostalgia (1) strengthens the influences of stakeholder‐driven attributions on brand authenticity and sustainability, (2) inhibits the influence of values‐driven attributions on brand authenticity and (3) inhibits the influence of strategic‐driven attributions on brand authenticity, legitimacy and sustainability. Reshoring brand managers should consider these connections when designing their reshoring implementation strategies in the home country.
‘I am just a shadow of who I used to be’—Exploring existential loss of identity among people living with chronic conditions of Long COVID
Authors: Fang Chao , Baz Sarah Akhtar , Sheard Laura , Carpentieri JD 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIdentity loss and (re)construction forms a central debate in sociology of chronic illness. Living with chronic/persistent health conditions may raise questions about how disruptions can touch upon and further threaten the very roots of existence, by which people reflexively perceive a coherent and stable sense of ‘being‐in‐the‐world’. Whilst medical sociologists have shown interest in ‘existential loss’ in chronic illness, this question remains largely underexplored. Adopting a qualitative study on Long COVID (LC) as an example, this article illuminates existential identity loss as a deeply painful experience of losing body as a fundamental medium to retain continuity and consistency of one’s narratively constructed identity. Interviews with 80 LC sufferers in the UK revealed that living with persistent and often uncertain symptoms and disruptions can cause the loss of biographical resources and resilience, making it difficult to reflexively understand their own being within the world. Their dynamic responses to LC also highlighted how sufferers’ longing for a narratively coherent self can profoundly shape the ongoing construction of their identity in chronic health conditions. These insights into the complicated and often hard‐to‐express existential pain of identity loss can also nurture more holistic understandings of and support for LC and chronic illness more broadly.

AbstractBackgroundAdults with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) are increasingly presenting to the emergency department (ED), and this systematic review will evaluate the direct evidence on the effectiveness of capsaicin and dopamine antagonists in its clinical management.MethodsA bibliographic search was conducted to address the following population–intervention–control–outcome (PICO) question: (P) adults >18 years old with a diagnosis of acute CHS presenting to the ED; (I) dopamine antagonists (e.g., haloperidol, droperidol) and topical capsaicin; (C) usual care or no active comparator; and (O) symptoms improvement/resolution in ED, ED length of stay, admission rate, ED recidivism, need for rescue medication, and adverse events. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA reporting recommendations.ResultsFrom 53 potentially relevant articles, seven articles were included: five observational studies and two randomized controlled trials, including a total of 492 patients. Five of these studies evaluated the efficacy of capsaicin cream (n = 386), and two examined dopamine antagonists (haloperidol, droperidol; n = 106). There was mixed evidence for the efficacy of capsaicin for reducing nausea and emesis. Both studies evaluating dopamine antagonists detected clinical benefit to usual care or no active comparator.ConclusionsThere is limited direct evidence on the efficacy of dopamine antagonists or capsaicin for treating CHS in the ED. Current evidence is mixed for capsaicin and potentially beneficial for dopamine antagonists. Because of the small number of studies, small number of participants, lack of standardization of treatment administration, and risk of bias of the included studies, methodologically rigorous trials on both types of intervention are needed to directly inform ED management of CHS.

AbstractTissue shrinkage is one of the problems in preparing tissue sections. This study compares the use of 10% formalin, Bouin and Carnoy as fixatives on several mouse tissues to determine histomorphological features. In this experimental study, liver, kidney, heart, lung, testicle, spleen, brain and cartilage tissues were isolated from five BALB/c mice. Then, they were fixed with three types of fixatives. After dehydrating, clarifying and embedding, all samples were stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Then, the tissue structure of the viscera was evaluated qualitatively. The results showed that each fixative is more suitable for evaluating a specific part of the tissue. However, relative shrinkage appeared in the tissue sections fixed with 10% Formalin, (1) in the heart as spaces between muscle fibre bundles, (2) in the liver as the dilation of the liver sinusoidal spaces, (3) in the kidney tissue as the expansion of the lumens of the convoluted proximal and distal tubules, (4) in the spleen as open spaces inside the red and white pulps and (5) in the brain as an increase in the space between the cells of the granular and pyramidal cell layers of the cortex. In tissues that were soft and fragile, such as testis, liver and brain, Bouin's fixative was more suitable. Carnoy's fixative was more suitable for the spleen and kidney tissue. Based on the study results, formalin and Bouin were more suitable for heart and cartilage tissue. Considering that in the histopathological evaluation both the cytoplasm and the nucleus are evaluated, it is suggested to choose the fixative suitable for the type of tissue.

AbstractBackgroundPatient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) can provide valuable metrics in clinical trials and cancer registries. To ensure relevance, patient participation must be optimized and PROMs be highly acceptable to patients. There are few data reporting methods to maximize recruitment and a lack of consensus regarding appropriate PROMs for thyroid cancer survivors.MethodsAll patients with a new diagnosis of thyroid (excluding micropapillary and anaplastic) cancer within a single Australian health district between January 2020 and December 2021 were invited to complete PROMs electronically, and self‐report ease of use and comprehensiveness of each tool. Participants completed Short Form‐12 (SF‐12), European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC‐QLQ‐C30), City of Hope Quality of Life‐Thyroid Version (COH‐TV) and Thyroid Cancer Quality of Life Survey (ThyCaQoL). Semi‐structured qualitative telephone interviews explored patient priorities. An enhanced, multimodal recruitment strategy was instituted after 12 months due to low response rates.ResultsSurvey completion improved under enhanced recruitment (37/62, 60% versus 19/64, 30%, P = 0.0007) with no differences in demographic or clinical characteristics. Few (4%–7%) respondents rated surveys as difficult to complete. No single PROM comprehensively captured health‐related quality of life, with disease‐specific tools performing marginally better (54% ThyCaQoL and 52% CoH‐TV) compared to generic tools (38% SF‐12 and 42% EOROTC‐QLQ‐C30). Qualitative data suggested that concurrent diagnoses, and survey invitation prior to surgery, made surveys more difficult to complete.ConclusionA comprehensive and representative assessment of PROMs in thyroid cancer survivors requires the use of multiple survey tools and specialized staff to maximize recruitment.

AbstractIntroductionThe International Society for Bipolar Disorders created the Early Mid‐Career Committee (EMCC) to support career development of the next generation of researchers and clinicians specializing in bipolar disorder (BD). To develop new infrastructure and initiatives, the EMCC completed a Needs Survey of the current limitations and gaps that restrict recruitment and retention of researchers and clinicians focused on BD.MethodsThe EMCC Needs Survey was developed through an iterative process, relying on literature and content expertise of workgroup members. The survey included 8 domains: navigating transitional career stages, creating and fostering mentorship, research activities, raising academic profile, clinical‐research balance, networking and collaboration, community engagement, work‐life balance. The final survey was deployed from May to August 2022 and was available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Chinese.ResultsThree hundred participants across six continents completed the Needs Survey. Half of the participants self‐identified as belonging to an underrepresented group in health‐related sciences (i.e., from certain gender, racial, ethnic, cultural, or disadvantaged backgrounds including individuals with disabilities). Quantitative results and qualitative content analysis revealed key barriers to pursuing a research career focused on BD with unique challenges specific to scientific writing and grant funding. Participants highlighted mentorship as a key facilitator of success in research and clinical work.ConclusionThe results of the Needs Survey are a call to action to support early‐ and midcareer professionals pursuing a career in BD. Interventions required to address the identified barriers will take coordination, creativity, and resources to develop, implement, and encourage uptake but will have long‐lasting benefits for research, clinical practice, and ultimately those affected by BD.

AbstractAimsThis study systematically investigated structural and functional alterations in the thalamus and its subregions using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examined its clinical relevance in tinnitus patients with different outcomes after sound therapy (narrowband noise).MethodsIn total, 60 patients with persistent tinnitus and 57 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. Based on treatment efficacy, 28 patients were categorized into the effective group and 32 into the ineffective group. Five MRI measurements of the thalamus and its seven subregions, including gray matter volume, fractional anisotropy, fractional amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuation, and functional connectivity (FC), were obtained for each participant and compared between the groups.ResultsPatients in both the groups exhibited widespread functional and diffusion abnormalities in the whole thalamus and several subregions, with more obvious changes observed in the effective group. All tinnitus patients had abnormal FC compared with the HCs; FC differences between the two patient groups were only observed in the striatal network, auditory‐related cortex, and the core area of the limbic system. We combined the multimodal quantitative thalamic alterations and used it as an imaging indicator to evaluate prognosis before sound therapy and achieved a sensitivity of 71.9% and a specificity of 85.7%.ConclusionSimilar patterns of thalamic alterations were identified in tinnitus patients with different outcomes, with more obvious changes observed in the effective group. Our findings support the tinnitus generation hypothesis of frontostriatal gating system dysfunction. A combination of multimodal quantitative thalamic properties may be used as indicators to predict tinnitus prognosis before sound therapy.

AbstractIntroductionAnorectal manometry (ARM) is sometimes performed before ostomy reversal in patients with an intersphincteric resection (ISR) to predict bowel function. However, no clinical predictive data exist regarding its utility.MethodsThe single‐centre, retrospective data of ISR patients who had an ARM prior to ostomy reversal, and bowel functional assessment with the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and Wexner incontinence scores at least 6 months after reversal, were considered. Correlation statistics were performed with each of the manometric parameters and functional outcome categories.ResultsEighty‐nine patients were included. The median basal and squeeze pressures were 41 and 100 mmHg, respectively. Any LARS (score ≥20) and major incontinence (score ≥11) was observed in 51.7% and 16.9%, respectively. None of the manometric parameters (median basal or maximum squeeze pressure, anal canal length, volume at urge and the ability to expel) correlated with LARS or incontinence.ConclusionsAnorectal manometry (ARM) before ostomy reversal to predict bowel function at 6 months or beyond was not helpful in patients with an ISR and diverting stoma. No manometric parameter correlated with the LARS or Wexner incontinence scores.

AbstractAimTo report the test–retest reliability of the parent version of the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) questionnaire for item, domain, total score, and goal importance in children with cerebral palsy (CP) functioning in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I to III.MethodThe GOAL questionnaire was completed twice, 3 to 31 days apart, in a prospective cohort study of 112 caregivers of children aged 4 to 17 years with CP (40% unilateral; GMFCS level I = 53; II = 35; III = 24; 76 males). All had an outpatient visit over a 1‐year period. The standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change, and agreement were calculated for all responses, including goal importance.ResultsThe SEM for the total score was 3.1 points for the cohort (GMFCS level I = 2.3, GMFCS level II = 3.8, GMFCS level III = 3.6). The standardized domain and item scores were less reliable than the total score and varied according to GMFCS level. The gait function and mobility domain exhibited the best reliability for the cohort (SEM = 4.4), whereas the use of braces and mobility aids domain exhibited the lowest (SEM = 11.9). Goal importance was reliable (cohort average agreement 73%).InterpretationThe parent version of GOAL has acceptable levels of test–retest reliability for most domains and items. Caution is advised when interpreting the least reliable scores. Essential information necessary for accurate interpretation is provided.What this paper adds

The standard error of measurement (SEM) of the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) total score was approximately 3 points.
The SEM of the GOAL domain score ranged from 4 to 12 points.
The use of braces and mobility aids domain had the lowest reliability score.
Item‐level reliability varied according to domain and Gross Motor Function Classification System level.
Caregivers reliably identified item importance with approximately 73% agreement.

AbstractBackgroundEvidence of a clear causal relationship between telomere length and aortic aneurysms is limited by the potential for confounding or reverse causation effects. In this study, we used a Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach to investigate this putative causal association.MethodsIn total, 118 telomere length‐associated single‐nucleotide polymorphisms, identified in 472,174 individuals of European ancestry, were used as the instrumental variables. Summary statistics for genome‐wide association studies of aortic aneurysms were obtained from the FinnGen consortium. For the primary MR analyses, the inverse‐variance weighted random‐effects method was used and was supplemented with multivariable MR, weighted median and MR‐Egger approaches. The MR‐Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test and ‘leave‐one‐out’ sensitivity analysis were performed to evaluate the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity and stability of the genetic variants. Forward and reverse MR analyses were performed.ResultsAll forward univariable MR analyses showed that longer telomere lengths decreased aortic aneurysm risks (total aortic aneurysms: OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.67–0.96, p = .015; thoracic aortic aneurysms: OR = 0.82, 95% CI 0.68–0.98, p = .026; abdominal aortic aneurysms: OR = 0.525, 95% CI 0.398–0.69, p < .001), whereas all reverse MR analyses suggested the absence of aortic aneurysm liability on telomere length. The sensitivity analysis results were robust, and no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy was observed.ConclusionsOur results support a possible causal association between telomere length and aortic aneurysms, providing new insights into the involvement of telomere biology in this condition and offering a potential avenue for targeted therapeutic interventions.
Polarization of employment and wages in China

Published: July 2023

AbstractIn China, between 1995 and 2018, the proportion of workers employed in unskilled job categories grew, while the share holding middle‐skilled jobs declined. The resulting income polarization magnified a major redistribution of wages within job categories, which is not only the main component of total income inequality but is also the driving factor contributing to changes in total income inequality over the 1995–2018 period. Our counterfactual simulation results support our conjecture that the large employment shift from middle‐skilled to unskilled jobs reflects the adoption of labor‐saving technologies and the response to increased demand for services. We believe that our study sheds light on similar transformations in other developing economies.
