Published: April 2023

AbstractAimsThe study's aims were to (1) assess family members' perceptions of the quality of the counselling they received while visiting a loved one in an adult ICU and (2) identify factors that influence family members' perceptions of counselling quality.DesignA cross‐sectional survey of visiting family members of adult ICU patients.MethodsFamily members (n = 55) at eight ICUs across five Finnish university hospitals completed a cross‐sectional survey.ResultsFamily members assessed the quality of counselling in adult ICUs to be good. Factors associated with the quality of counselling were knowledge, family‐centred counselling, and interaction. Family members' ability to live normally was associated with understanding of the loved one's situation (ρ = 0.715, p < 0.001). Interaction was associated with understanding (ρ = 0.715, p < 0.001). Family members felt that intensive care professionals did not adequately ensure that they understood counselling‐related issues and that they lacked opportunities to give feedback, in 29% of cases, staff asked the family members whether they understood the counselling and 43% of family members had opportunities to offer feedback. However, the family members felt that the counselling they received during ICU visits was beneficial.

AbstractReduced graphene oxide (rGO) exerts excellent performance in polymers, but suffers from poor dispersion. Here, the electrostatic interaction between the phenolic hydroxyl group of m‐cresol and rGO was discovered for the first time, and benzoxazine with m‐cresol containing rGO as the phenolic source were synthesized to achieve a more uniform dispersion of rGO in benzoxazine. The results show that the in situ synthesized rGO/benzoxazine system exhibited superior properties, including a lower curing reaction temperature (21°C relative reductions in curing temperature (225.7°C) for the system with 2 wt% rGO added in situ), higher dielectric constant ((8.69) relative improvement of 0.79), higher electromagnetic shielding value at 8.2–12.4 GHz ((7.45 dB) relative improvement of 0.75 dB), and higher thermal diffusivity at room temperature ((0.162 mm2/s) relative improvement of 26%). This study provides a method to homogeneously disperse rGO in benzoxazine without using of a solvent or any other treatment.

AbstractA 44‐year‐old woman at 30 weeks of pregnancy was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of severe COVID‐19 pneumonia. Her condition worsened quickly, defined by prolonged hypoxia even with intensive therapy and oxygen supplementation. This led to the decision to perform a caesarean delivery and continue pulse corticosteroids therapy after delivery. Soon after she recovered from COVID‐19 pneumonia, her life was threatened again by septic shock from hospital‐acquired pneumonia. After nearly 1 month of hospitalization, she was discharged and fully recovered on the re‐examination day 10 months later.
Augmenting the flipped classroom experience by integrating Revised Bloom's Taxonomy: A faculty perspective
Authors: SivaKumar ArunKumar 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn a recent scenario, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) job placement rates have decreased since the pandemic started. MBA job placement rates are down since the pandemic started. What’s most alarming: the decline in MBA jobs (34%) has been steeper than the decline in overall jobs (27%), for the period between May 2019 and May 2020. The mere delivery of theoretical concepts, lack of practical knowledge and lag in imbibing soft skills have been identified as hurdles in the progress of MBA education. Some of the predominant industry‐needed skills need to be improved among MBA students. To address this issue, the author suggests integrating flipped classrooms with the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) as a new paradigm for delivering MBA education. The flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach in which direct instructions move from group learning to individual learning. This study primarily aims to understand the faculty perception of the pre‐, in‐ and post‐class activities facilitated using an integrated model of a flipped classroom and RBT (FC+RBT) among MBA students. The study's target population is the faculty members working in MBA institutions across Tamil Nadu, India. The findings of this study will be helpful for MBA institutions to enhance the quality of MBA education and empower management graduates to imbibe employability skills.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn order to solve the problems of large overshoots and large errors in the trajectory tracking control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a new robust controller is designed in this paper to obtain a more stable control effect and reduce the trajectory tracking error. The control algorithm consists of two parts. First, construct a state transformation function to eliminate the constraints in the output state variables, so that the output is strictly limited to the range we expect, and a new dynamic model is obtained. Then, a robust controller based on the Lyapunov method is adopted to eliminate the influence of uncertainty on the tracking performance and obtain more accurate trajectory tracking. And the theoretical analysis proves that the controller can guarantee the requirements of uniform boundedness and uniform limit boundedness. In addition, we use the rapid controller prototype CSPACE and the actual permanent magnet synchronous motor platform for simulation and experimental verification. The result shows, that by utilizing the designed controller on the PMSM, we will get a much more excellent dynamic performance and safety performance is greatly improved.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe Fabry–Perot (FP) resonator is an intuitive and versatile optical structure owing to its uniqueness in light‐matter interactions, yielding resonance with a wide range of wavelengths as it couples with photonic materials encapsulated in a dielectric cavity. Leveraging the FP resonator for molecular detection, a simple geometry of the metal‐dielectric‐metal structure is demonstrated to allow tuning of the enhancement factors (EFs) of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The optimum near‐field EF from randomly dispersed gold nano‐gaps and dynamic modulation of the far‐field SERS EF by varying the optical resonance of the FP etalon are systematically investigated by performing computational and experimental analyses. The proposed strategy of combining plasmonic nanostructures with FP etalons clearly reveals wavelength matching of FP resonance to excitation and scattering wavelengths plays a key role in determining the magnitude of the SERS EF. Finally, the optimum near‐field generating optical structure with controlled dielectric cavity is suggested for a tunable SERS platform, and its dynamic SERS switching performance is confirmed by demonstrating information encryption through liquid immersion.
Evolution characteristics and mechanism of concrete performance under water pressure environment: A comprehensive review

Published: April 2023

AbstractCompared with the ground service environment, the evolution of concrete performance under a water pressure service environment is quite complex with variable conditions. Because of the coupling effect of load and pressure, water has a special impact on the strength and deformation of concrete. Meanwhile, harmful ions usually react with the cement matrix as pressure water seepages into concrete, resulting in the reduction of concrete durability. Based on this, this study provides a comprehensive review of the strength, deformation, and durability of concrete under water pressure environment. It is found that microcracks in concrete tend to propagate and connect after exposure to water pressure, leading to a decrease in strength and deformation performance. The average loss rate of strength and elastic modulus increased by 12.15% and 10.97%, respectively, when water pressure increased by 1 MPa. However, the loading process of water‐confining pressure makes concrete more compact, where the static and dynamic mechanical performance can be improved. Besides, due to the enhancement of excess pore water pressure, concrete strength under a high strain rate increases by 61.79% compared to static load. The effect of water pressure increases the ability of the liquid to penetrate concrete, and corrosive ions trapped within the liquid and freeze–thaw caused by external temperature changes would further reduce the concrete durability. This study points out that static and dynamic loading characteristics and durability of concrete under multi‐factor coupling in a water pressure environment will be the future research direction. The summarized contents can provide guidance for construction and research of concrete engineering under a water pressure environment.

AbstractBackgroundSince there is no complete study of topographic features of thorax structures in guinea pigs, this study strives to define the exact topographic features of thorax structures.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to provide comprehensive topographic information about the location of the trachea, bronchi, lungs and heart inside the thoracic cavity in guinea pig, as well as to study the features of these structures, their proximity to other organs and comparative anatomical studies with CT scan images in living samples.MethodsTen adult male and healthy guinea pigs were selected. CT scan transverse images were taken. The morphometric parameters of the lungs, bronchi, trachea, heart, thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity were measured.ResultsIn these studies, the position of organs such as the trachea, lungs and heart were monitored, and specified descriptions of CT scan images and anatomical observations were obtained. We realised that the heart in this animal was not inclined to the left, and due to the equal size of the lungs, the heart was almost on the midline. According to the measurements, 20.05% of the ventral cavity volume was thoracic cavity and 79.95% was abdominal cavity.ConclusionsAccording to studies on guinea pigs, the right and left have the volume, and the heart is located between them on the midline without a tendency to the left. It seems that one of the reasons for the reluctance of the heart to the left and its placement on the midline in the guinea pig is that the volume of the two lungs is equal. In the case of guinea pigs, both numerical parameters are smaller than rabbits’, but close to it. One of the most important factors in this study is that none of the animals were euthanised, and all of samples were alive after our study.

Published: April 2023

AbstractEndocrine pancreas regulates glucose homeostasis and prevents diabetes. Type-1 diabetes is characterized by destruction of the insulin secreting β-cells within the endocrine pancreatic islets, resulting in lower insulin release. People with type-1 diabetes can be transplanted with pancreatic islets obtained from deceased donors which restores the β-cell function. There are around 70 human islet isolation centers around the world which mostly collect endocrine pancreas from deceased donors. They assess the islet yield, functionality, viability, secretory capacity, and purity for transplantation and distribute this to donors. They also distribute a part of the pancreatic tissue for research, so that the cellular mechanisms in the human pancreatic tissue can be understood. This is crucial since human islet tissue has a unique cytoarchitecture compared to murine counterparts and therefore islet research with murine islets does not give complete picture of diabetes in humans. India is poised to take the mantle of the diabetes capital of the world in the near future. Despite this, there are no human islet isolation centers which can facilitate islet transplantation and diabetes research in India. This article highlights the glaring gap in the current infrastructure for diabetes care and provides critical insights into the role and potential of setting up islet tissue banks in the most populous country of the world.
The market as an instrument of planning in sustainability capitalism
Authors: Kampourakis Ioannis 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis article seeks to unpack the potential and limits of markets as instruments of economic planning in sustainability capitalism. Recent policies for sustainability transitions in the United States (USA) and the European Union (EU) (eg, Infrastructure Law, EU Green Deal) have signaled aspirations for a more prominent role of the state in coordinating the economy, while still relying primarily on market mechanisms for such coordination. Yet, could the market itself be conceptualised and structured as a political instrumentality for the achievement of social objectives? An important part of the puzzle of sustainability transitions is the transportation sector, and specifically the transition to Electric Vehicles, or New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). I explore the comparative legal constructions of markets for NEVs in China – the current global leader in NEVs – the USA, and the EU. Drawing from this case study, I first argue that law makes planning possible within markets, as the functional power of market processes can be strategically deployed for the achievement of politically set objectives. Acknowledging the deliberate and artificial character of markets raises the question of what we want markets for, broadening the scope of the political possibilities enclosed in them. I, then, proceed to challenge the enduring argument of the epistemic deficit of central planners, which morphs into prescriptions of decentralisation. I show that arguments against legal centralism and planning cannot stand on just epistemological grounds and are inevitably political. Finally, I attempt to outline the limits of planning within markets – and thus, to a certain extent, the limits of the constitutive function of law – for broader projects of social transformation.
Direct and inverse results for popular differences in trees of positive dimension

Published: April 2023

AbstractWe establish analogues for trees of results relating the density of a set
${E \subset \mathbb {N}}$
, the density of its set of popular differences and the structure of E. To obtain our results, we formalize a correspondence principle of Furstenberg and Weiss which relates combinatorial data on a tree to the dynamics of a Markov process. Our main tools are Kneser-type inverse theorems for sets of return times in measure-preserving systems. In the ergodic setting, we use a recent result of the first author with Björklund and Shkredov and a stability-type extension (proved jointly with Shkredov); we also prove a new result for non-ergodic systems.

AbstractObjectives:To examine associations between socioeconomic factors and (1) adherence to methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) posttreatment follow-up swab sampling after 1 and 6 months and (2) successful decolonization treatment.Design:Cohort study with 2 years of follow-up. Data on patients diagnosed with MRSA were extracted from a regional MRSA database and national registries. We used a cluster-based logistic regression model to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for associations between socioeconomic factors and decolonization treatment.Setting:Danish primary health care.Results:The rate of adherence to posttreatment follow-up swab sampling among 2,536 cases 1 month after decolonization treatment was 66% (95% CI, 64%–68%), and it decreased to 30% (95% CI, 28%–32%) after 6 months. Living in intermediate municipalities (76–159 inhabitants/km2) or having retired were associated with completed posttreatment follow-up swabs 1 month after decolonization treatment: aOR, 1.40 (95% CI, 1.2–1.74) and aOR, 2.67 (95% CI, 1.16–6.13), respectively. The rate of successful decolonization treatment 2 years after initiating treatment was 36% (95% CI, 34%–38%). Factors associated with successful decolonization treatment included individuals with higher education (aOR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.22–2.15), early retirees (aOR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.12–2.38), those living in intermediate municipalities (ie, 160–900+ inhabitants/km2; aOR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.08–1.68), and those living in predominantly urban municipalities (ie, 160–900+ inhabitants/km2; aOR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.5–2.76).Conclusions:Disparities in the effect of decolonization treatment and adherence to MRSA follow-up sampling among MRSA-positive individuals appear to be largely explained by the level of education, area of residence, and employment status.
Praising ‘me’ or ‘we’? Different types of self-promotion and career success

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Self-promotion, widespread in the workplace, has received extensive attention from scholars. However, due to the narrow one-dimensional structure of traditional self-promotion and the limitations of theoretical thinking, its antecedents and consequences are still unclear. Therefore, we propose a new pair of self-promotion behaviors (sole self-promotion and joint self-promotion), and develop the measures based on a more grounded definition of self-promotion. In phase 1, we developed the scales of sole self-promotion and joint self-promotion (sample 1), and assessed their psychometric properties (i.e., content validity, factor structure, and reliability) by using two samples (samples 2 and 3). In phase 2, using three-wave data (sample 4) with two sources (employees and coworkers), we tested the overall model based on social comparison theory, examining the antecedents and consequences of sole and joint self-promotion, and exploring the different effects of these two behaviors on career success. Overall, our research offers new insight into self-promotion research and provides a useful tool to evaluate employee self-promotion. Implications for theory and practice, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Taking a strong interactional stance

Published: April 2023

Abstract
We outline two points of criticism. Firstly, we argue that robots do constitute a separate category of beings in people's minds rather than being mere depictions of non-robotic characters. Secondly, we find that (semi-)automatic processes underpinning communicative interaction play a greater role in shaping robot-directed speech than Clark and Fischer's theory of social robots as depictions indicate.

AbstractMany low‐lying coastlines are exposed to overwash and marine flooding during large storm events, and the role of coastal ecosystems in reducing these hazards has been increasingly investigated and reported. This paper deals with the assessment of processes involved in coastal flooding over 2 years and 10 months at Anse Maurice, a reef‐fringed pocket beach located in Guadeloupe Island, in the Caribbean region. Daily maximum marine inundation was assessed using a fixed video system, and a hydrodynamic measurement campaign was organized to monitor local wave transformation through the reef system. The results show that daily highest runups (dHRs) are not linearly correlated with storm events since storm runup intensity is highly modulated by (a) the steric‐induced annual periodicity of sea level which showed minima in April and maxima in September and (b) the tidal level which influenced shortwave propagation on the reef flat (RF). These variables determined the reef submergence, an important parameter involved in wave transformation over reefs. Consequently, different runup responses existed for similar incident wave conditions, but generally wave attenuation ranged between 50% and 80%. Low‐frequency waves were found to dominate the hydrodynamics on the RF for the most intense wave conditions. The upper beach vegetation also reduces the maximum swash excursion at the beach between 1.7% and 42.8% for the observed storms, and thus reduces the potential for back beach flooding. This study demonstrates new comprehensive elements on runup behavior and nearshore processes, at different time scales, on reef‐lined beaches.
