Examination of the effects of using different crosslinkers in biodegradable coating formulation on printability properties of flexographic print system
Authors: Sönmez Sinan , Li Kecheng , Marcello Cornelius 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
In this study, the printability properties of different printing substrates coated with biodegradable formulation using different crosslinkers in the flexo printing system were examined and the data obtained regarding this was shared.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a coating formulation that can both provide barrier properties and be printable at the same time has been developed. The most basic feature that distinguishes this improved formulation from other products used in the packaging industry is that it is biodegradable. However, crosslinkers used in such formulations may affect the chemical structural properties of the formulations. In the study conducted to determine these effects and their effects on printing properties, two different coating formulations were prepared using glyoxal and N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide. The prepared formulation was coated on three different substrates and its printability properties were determined.

Findings
It has been determined that the use of N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide is better than glyoxal in improving both porosity and surface smoothness. Since coating both surfaces reduces the porosity value, the barrier property obtained will be better than single-sided coating. The two-sides coating did not significantly affect the surface roughness. However, higher optical density obtained kraft, kraft has a lower print contrast compared to other paper samples. The use of N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide resulted in an increase in the print contrast value compared to the use of glyoxal. Using glyoxal, the two-sides coating increased the print contrast. Kraft has a lower print chroma. The crosslinking agent change has not affected print chroma. Also, the two-sides coating did not significantly change the print chroma. Office paper and SBS have a higher print lightness compared to other paper samples. After print, gloss values of test sample decreased. The two-sides coating did not significantly change the printability properties.

Originality/value
It is a resource for packaging manufacturers and institutions providing training on this subject.
Foundational movement skills among Chinese children and adolescents during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review
Authors: Kong Yu Hin , Chow Chi Ching, Gary 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Multiple infectious control measures, e.g. social distancing, city lockdown and mask-wearing, have been implemented since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Given the bidirectional relationship between foundational movement skills (FoMS) and physical activity (PA), and inadequate PA in Chinese children and adolescents, FoMS tends to decrease during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to systematically review the literature about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on FoMS of individuals aged 5–17 years in Chinese societies.

Design/methodology/approach
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was followed. Peer-reviewed articles on four electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost and PubMed) were searched on 8 May 2024. The quality of each study was evaluated by the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) version 2018. Two independent reviewers were involved in all study selection and appraising procedures.

Findings
Among 18,450 records identified, 10 quantitative studies analysing student participants were included. The overall quality of these studies was high, with an average score of 86% in MMAT. The variations among these studies led to inconclusive evaluations. So as to advance the quality of future research and assessments, investigating more aspects of FoMS, standardising physical test protocols and report styles and adopting multiple research designs should be achieved.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first review synthesising evidence about FoMS for Chinese children and adolescents. A definitive conclusion cannot be provided due to certain methodological issues. The current situation of FoMS and future research directions were illustrated.
Unsupervised learning inversion of seismic velocity models based on a multi‐scale strategy
Authors: Yang Senlin , Liu Bin , Ren Yuxiao , Jiang Peng 
Published: January 2025

AbstractDeep learning‐based methods have performed well in seismic waveform inversion tasks in recent years, while the need for velocity models as labels has somewhat limited their application. Unsupervised learning allows us to train the neural network without labels. When inverting seismic velocity models from observed data, labels are often unavailable for real data. To address this problem and improve network generalization, we introduce a multi‐scale strategy to enhance the performance of unsupervised learning. The first ‘multi‐scale’ is derived from the conventional full waveform inversion strategy, in which the low‐, middle‐ and high‐frequency inversion results are successively predicted during the network training. Another ‘multi‐scale’ is to introduce multi‐scale similarity as an additional data loss term to improve the inversion results. With 12,000 samples from the overthrust model, our method obtains comparable results with the supervised learning method and outperforms unsupervised methods that rely only on the mean square error as a loss function. We compare the performance of the proposed method with multi‐scale full waveform inversion on the Marmousi model, and the proposed method achieves better results at low‐ and middle‐frequencies, and, as a result, it provides good initial models for further full waveform inversion updates.
‘THEY SUPPRESSED OUR RIGHTS WITH CONCRETE’: Politics of Exclusion and (Im)permanence in Rohingya Refugee Camps in Bangladesh
Authors: Bashar Samira Binte , Sletto Bjørn 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBy framing the displacement of people fleeing war, persecution and violence as a short‐term problem, refugee camps have emerged to offer temporary accommodations and services to displaced refugees. In Bangladesh, refugee camps were built in Cox's Bazar and Bhasan Char in recent years to house Rohingya refugees escaping from state‐sponsored persecution by Myanmar. Constructed in two very different geographic contexts—mainland and island—yet intended to address the same refugee problem, the two camps reveal different built environments intended to instill different feelings of permanence and impermanence to affect control over refugees’ lives. We argue that planning and design thus serve as strategic biopolitical instruments by controlling and perpetually redefining the production and manifestation of (im)permanence in both sensual and tactile terms. The geographic locations of the refugee camps vis‐à‐vis their distance from the host country population function as an important driver of planning decisions. However, as these cases demonstrate, the biopolitics of exclusion are inherently incomplete, transforming camps into emerging, negotiated, and fluid campscapes. By providing a comparative analysis of the biotechnology of exclusion through the politics of (im)permanence in mainland versus island settings, we contribute to the understanding of the role of planning in reproducing spatial boundaries for social control.
A functional data analysis approach for modelling frequency‐modulated tonal sounds in animal communication

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Frequency modulation (FM) is believed to play a major role in encoding information in tonal vocal communication. However, most studies aimed at investigating acoustic variability rely on the manual measurement of acoustic parameters, and the implementation of multivariate techniques, which represent only partially sound FM. Thus, innovative modelling approaches able to capture local FM dynamics are needed for tonal sounds modelling. These kinds of methodological developments in bioacoustics might be key for further understanding animal behaviour and ecology.

We propose the application of a functional data analysis (FDA) approach to model extracted FM patterns, which entails the transformation of acoustic signals into continuous functions. We describe a Raven‐to‐R FDA workflow for modelling tonal sounds and we highlight two of its potential applications for classification aims and FM analysis in relation to behavioural, social, and environmental factors. For illustrative purposes, the approach performance was tested on FM patterns (contours) of signature whistles emitted by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), to investigate their acoustic variability and potential information content.

Our results show that tonal sounds are inherently of functional nature and can be treated as such for FM analysis. We found that building the FDA sound curves using 25 B‐spline basis functions was the most appropriate setting for the functionalisation of dolphin whistles. Our approach was able to accurately reconstruct the FM patterns of the modelled tonal sounds and even to capture their fine‐scale modulations, with a precision of 80%. Functional clustering showed an accuracy up to 89% for short whistles. Estimated functional coefficients of the regression model suggested that different contextual factors have a significant effect on the FM patterns of SWs.

The adoption of an FDA approach appears to be quite promising for the study of frequency‐modulated tonal sounds, both for classification aims and in‐depth FM analysis. The limitations and advantages of the approach were discussed. We developed and tested a new methodology able to fill knowledge gaps in animal communication, and we anticipate it will lead to advances in the ethological and ecological understanding of wild animal populations.
Protecting the protectors: Whistleblowing and retaliation in the compliance arena
Authors: Boles Jeffrey R. , Eisenstadt Leora F. , Pacella Jennifer M. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractIn the last decade, we learned of massive scandals at some of the world's largest companies. In each of those cases, compliance officers were charged with ensuring that the company adhered to legal and regulatory requirements and their own internal codes of conduct, and yet, these companies were not protected from their own bad actors. Compliance functions have grown in importance, while, at the same time, it has become increasingly difficult to hire and retain qualified personnel for compliance roles. We posit that a key issue facing compliance personnel—one that could be improved with legislative attention—is the failure of the law to protect compliance officers from retaliation when they blow the whistle by reporting unlawful or unacceptable conduct to superiors inside the organization. In essence, when compliance officers do their jobs and alert the company to possible violations of law or take issue with the company's handling of a potential legal violation, these officers are vulnerable to retaliation and can be terminated, demoted, and the like without legal consequence. The very employees that organizations hire to protect them are themselves unprotected. In this article, we consider compliance officers in three areas: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), securities fraud and financial regulation, and anti‐money laundering. In two out of the three areas, we find compliance officers uniquely exposed to lawful retaliation, while the third area provides a far more protective environment and offers a path forward for the other two. In both the EEO sector and the securities fraud sector, we highlight the common law doctrines and statutory interpretations that have created this situation for compliance officers. In contrast, the Anti‐Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA) provides exceptional protection for whistleblower compliance officers in this sector, and as a result, we propose using the AMLA as model legislation for proposed changes in the other two domains. The plight of compliance officer whistleblowers is complicated by courts that have intentionally and unintentionally narrowed protections without contemplating the broader implications of their actions. We propose that Congress respond to these narrowing doctrines so that compliance officers can effectively do their jobs and protect their organizations from legal liability and scandals, with the assurance of protection against retaliation as they perform this essential function.

ABSTRACTWe assessed the use of magnesium sulphate prior to preterm birth for preventing cerebral palsy in an Australian and New Zealand registry study. Use increased markedly from 32.3% (2012) to 78.8% (2020) (p < 0.001). Binational approaches to sustain and explore the feasibility of further increasing use, informed by evolving evidence and guidelines, are needed.

Published: January 2025

AbstractAimMembers of the claudin protein family are the major constituents of tight junction strands and determine the permeability properties of the paracellular pathway. In the kidney, each nephron segment expresses a distinct subset of claudins that form either barriers against paracellular solute transport or charge‐ and size‐selective paracellular channels. It was the aim of the present study to determine and compare the permeation properties of these renal paracellular ion channel‐forming claudins.MethodsMDCK II cells, in which the five major claudins had been knocked out (claudin quintupleKO), were stably transfected with individual mouse Cldn2, ‐4, ‐8, ‐10a, ‐10b, or ‐15, or with dog Cldn16 or ‐19, or with a combination of mouse Cldn4 and Cldn8, or dog Cldn16 and Cldn19. Permeation properties were investigated in the Ussing chamber and claudin interactions by FRET assays.ResultsClaudin‐4 and ‐19 formed barriers against solute permeation. However, at low pH values and in the absence of HCO3−, claudin‐4 conveyed a weak chloride and nitrate permeability. Claudin‐8 needed claudin‐4 for assembly into TJ strands and abolished this anion preference. Claudin‐2, ‐10a, ‐10b, ‐15, ‐16+19 formed highly permeable channels with distinctive permeation profiles for different monovalent and divalent anions or cations, but barriers against the permeation of ions of opposite charge and of the paracellular tracer fluorescein.ConclusionParacellular ion permeabilities along the nephron are strictly determined by claudin expression patterns. Paracellular channel‐forming claudins are specific for certain ions and thus lower transepithelial resistance, yet form barriers against the transport of other solutes.
Unfolded protein response: An essential element of intestinal homeostasis and a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Di Mattia Miriam , Sallese Michele , Lopetuso Loris Riccardo 
Published: January 2025

AbstractDifferent physiological and pathological situations can produce alterations in the cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to a condition known as ER stress, which can trigger an intricate intracellular signal transduction system known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR is primarily tailored to restore proteostasis and ER equilibrium; otherwise, if ER stress persists, it can cause programmed cell death as a cytoprotective mechanism and drive inflammatory processes. Therefore, since intestinal cells strongly rely on UPR for their biological functions and unbalanced UPR has been linked to inflammatory, metabolic, and immune disorders, here we discussed the role of the UPR within the intestinal tract, focusing on the UPR contribution to inflammatory bowel disease development. Importantly, we also highlighted the promising potential of UPR components as therapeutic targets for intestinal inflammatory diseases.

ABSTRACTBladder invasion by appendiceal cancer resulting in a vesico‐appendiceal fistula is an uncommon occurrence. Both radical tumor removal and functional preservation of the bladder are desirable in the surgical treatment of this disease, and there are few reports on detailed surgical methods. Here, we describe a case of primary appendiceal mucinous carcinoma with bladder invasion treated with robotic laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (RECS). A woman in her 60s was initially considered to be bladder tumor and underwent transurethral resection. However, the tumor rapidly regrew, and she was rediagnosed with primary appendiceal cancer invading the bladder. RECS was performed, involving ileocecal resection with partial cystectomy. The postoperative course was favorable, with no bladder anastomotic leakage or ureteral obstruction. In the RECS procedure, the robotic operability facilitates bladder wall repair, and simultaneous cystoscopic observation allows for identification of the ureteral orifices, making the combined bladder resection radical and safe.

AbstractWeaning is essential for foal growth and development. We determined the intestinal flora structure of donkey foals at the end of weaning (PreW_4d) and three stages after weaning (PostW_4d, PostW_8d, and PostW_15d) to explore the effects of weaning on intestinal development of donkey foals. The results showed that the main microbial flora in the gut of the donkey foal were Firmicutes and Bacteroides, and the proportion of Firmicutes gradually increased with weaning, which was an important reflection of the donkey foal's adaptability to the transition from lactose liquid feed to plant fiber solid feed. We also identified important microorganisms that maintain intestinal stability and boost immune, such as oscillospiraceae, Firmicutes, and lachnospiraceae. The metabolome showed that serum metabolites were mainly enriched in arachidonic acid metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), which can influence energy metabolism, growth, and immunity in weaned donkey foals. We also found that the metabolite resveratrol was positively correlated with g_NK4A214_group and lactobacillus, which may have important implications for the prevention of diseases such as colon‐inflammation in donkey foals. In summary, we provide a theoretical basis for studying the mechanism of intestinal microbiome and serum metabolite changes in weaning and postweaning donkey foals.

AbstractThe shift toward a histo‐molecular approach in World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors (WHO CNS5) emphasizes the critical role of molecular testing, such as next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and DNA methylation profiling, for accurate diagnosis. However, implementing these advanced techniques is particularly challenging in resource‐constrained countries. To address this, the Asian Oceanian Society of Neuropathology committee for Adapting Diagnostic Approaches for Practical Taxonomy in Resource‐Restrained Regions (AOSNP‐ADAPTR) was initiated to help pathologists in resource‐limited regions to implement WHO CNS5 diagnoses using simpler diagnostic tools, mainly immunohistochemistry. An online survey by this group assessed the in‐house/local availability of diagnostic resources and outsourcing capabilities across the Asian Oceanian region, covering 19 countries. Of 318 responding centers, the availability of molecular techniques in‐house/locally was limited in lower middle‐income countries (LMICs), with 29% having fluorescence in situ hybridization, 10.7% Sanger sequencing, and only 9.4% NGS. DNA methylation was largely unavailable in‐house/locally in of LMICs, while in the whole region, its availability stood at a meager 4.4%. Though outsourcing for all diagnostic tests was an easily accessible alternative, outsourcing for NGS and DNA methylation was uncommon because of the financial burden on patients being a significant obstacle. The survey categorized centers into five resource levels (RLs) based on the in‐house/local access to diagnostic techniques, which highlighted the variability and disparity in diagnostic capabilities across the region. High‐income countries had 80% of centers with advanced RL IV, V resources, in contrast to LMICs, where 70.5% of centers fell into RL I–III. This comprehensive evaluation emphasizes the need for tailored resource level guidelines, with the aim of improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment as well as advocating better healthcare infrastructure in resource‐constrained areas. However, the survey's reliance on responses from better‐resourced centers may underestimate challenges in lower‐resource settings, stressing the need for broader outreach and support.
Dyeing performance enhancement of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene fabric via plasma and tannic acid treatment

Published: January 2025

AbstractIn this study, the dyeing properties of atmospheric plasma and tannic acid surface modified ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene fabric were examined. The study focused on optimisation of colour strength. The effect of plasma treatment time and discharge power on colour strength was optimised. Dyeing parameters were optimised by running central composite response surface design of experiments. After dyeing, surface characteristics were observed by K/S (colour strength), colour fastness to soaping, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray dispersive spectroscopy (XDS), Fourier Transform–infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, rubbing fastness and contact angles, respectively. The response surface experimental design results showed better colour strength by reducing padder pressure and increasing the curing temperature and curing time. SEM showed increased roughness of surface and tannic acid adhesion to the surface. Both XDS and FTIR spectroscopy showed increased surface polarity. Enhanced durability was displayed at 1000 W for 20 seconds of exposure and 1% TA‐ (w/v) for 6 hours at pH 4‐5. Contact angles showed enhanced hydrophilic behaviour. Also, the rubbing fastness was good. The process had a low cost. This approach was suitable because of the higher production rate of continuous dyeing, and it was also sustainable, considering that tannic acid is a natural resource and atmospheric plasma is a waterless treatment.
