Authors: Lang XuJin , Suo Xiaoyu , Niu ZhiYong , Wang Liping , Li Lixia , Zhang Yanchao , Zhang Dongya 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to explore the use of modified graphene (MG) in copper wire drawing lubricants to enhance their friction-reducing and anti-wear capabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
Graphene was modified using oleic and stearic acids to improve its dispersibility in lubricants. Various concentrations of MG were then introduced into a copper wire drawing lubricant to investigate their tribological performance. Wear mechanisms were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

Findings
The best concentration of MG is 1.5 Wt.%, at which the copper wire drawing oil exhibits a friction coefficient and wear rate of 0.085 and 2.11 × 10−6 mm3/Nm, respectively, representing decreases of 22.7% and 47.6% compared to the base oil. It was further found that the addition of 1.5 Wt.% MG to a copper wire drawing fluid with a water content of 70% resulted in a 30.3% reduction in friction coefficient compared to the base oil. Raman spectroscopy and EDS analysis confirmed that the MG tribo-film formed on the worn copper disc effectively minimized friction and wear.

Originality/value
This study analyzes the tribological performance of different concentrations of MG in copper wire drawing oils, establishing a basis for the application of MG in copper wire drawing fluids.

Bridging the gap: user expectations for conversational AI services with consideration of user expertise
Authors: Greiner Daphne , Lemoine Jean-François 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Past research has emphasised the potential for conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to disrupt services. Conversely, the literature recognises customer expectations as fundamental to service quality and customer satisfaction. However, the understanding of users’ expectations for conversational AI services is currently limited. Building upon previous research that has underscored the importance of users’ expertise, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the expectations of users with varying levels of expertise.

Design/methodology/approach
Forty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted, on three populations: experts, quasi-experts and non-experts from various countries including Japan, France and the USA. This includes 10 experts and 11 quasi-experts, as in professionals in conversational AI and related domains. And 25 non-experts, as in individuals without professional or advanced academic training in AI.

Findings
Findings suggest that users’ expectations depend on their expertise, how much they value human contact and why they are using these services. For instance, the higher the expertise the less anthropomorphism was stated to matter compared to technical characteristics, which could be due to a disenchantment effect. Other results include expectations shared by all users such as a need for more ethics including public interest.

Originality/value
The study provides insights into a key yet relatively unexplored area: it defines three major expectations categories (anthropomorphic, technical and ethical) and the associated expectations of each user groups based on expertise. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it also highlights expectations never detected before as such in the literature such as explainability.
Embedded-embodied consumer experiences and the limits of responsibilization theory
Authors: Bankel Robin , Solér Cecilia 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Critical studies within the economic and administrative sciences are increasingly paying attention to the way markets shift responsibility to consumers for societal and personal goals, referring to this process as consumer responsibilization. This article advances a new approach to responsibilization theory with the aim of overcoming some of its limitations.

Design/methodology/approach
A conceptual approach is used to critique dominant post-structural understandings of consumer responsibility and to advance alternative ways of thinking about responsibilization regimes that highlight the embodied and embedded experiences of responsible consumers.

Findings
The article suggests that responsible consumption is embodied and embedded within neoliberal social structures characterized by inherent tensions and will produce strained experiences rather than skilled and empowered neoliberal subjects. The authors underscore the need for an empirical focus on the adaptational responses of consumers to responsibilization processes. With a focus on the frictional relationship between the idealization pressures involved in responsibilization processes and the real-world consequences embodied in consumer experiences, the conceptual approach may provide new ways to advance the concept of responsibilization as a critique of neoliberal marketization.

Originality/value
While responsibilization theory has been gaining widespread attention, this is the first paper to critically examine its limitations and offer an embedded-embodied perspective on consumer responsibility.
Teachers' knowledge of dyslexia in one of the largest regions of Kazakhstan
Authors: Galimzhanova Gulnara 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe purpose of the present research was to measure teachers' knowledge about dyslexia in mainstream schools of Akmola region in Kazakhstan and to analyse if there is any relationship between teachers' knowledge of dyslexia and their training experiences. The data was collected via an online survey with the use of the Scale of Knowledge and Beliefs about Developmental Dyslexia (Soriano‐Ferrer & Echegaray‐Bengoa, 2014). Overall, 1435 teachers participated in the survey. The research revealed that surveyed teachers have limited knowledge about dyslexia across three layers: neurological, cognitive and behavioural. Cross‐tabulation analysis showed that there is no relationship between teachers' knowledge of dyslexia and their training experiences. These findings highlight a high need for quality training on dyslexia for teachers in Kazakhstan.
Concurrent Phenylketonuria and Pyogenic Sacroiliitis: A Case Report Highlighting Rare Co‐Occurrence
Authors: Beke Sinem Kübra , Kaplan Hüseyin , Öney Marise , Cengiz Gizem 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTA 19‐year‐old male patient with phenylketonuria (PKU) was presented to our clinic with complaints of left hip pain and fever for one week. Physical examination and MRI examination showed findings compatible with pyogenic sacroiliitis and an abscess in the left iliopsoas muscle. The patient's clinical and radiological findings improved markedly with empirical antibiotic treatment. Although immune system disorders associated with PKU have been reported previously, to our knowledge, a direct link between PKU and rheumatological diseases has not yet been demonstrated. This case suggests that further research is needed to understand the potential effects of PKU on the immune system and susceptibility to infections.
Association Between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Findings of the Observational and Mendelian Randomization Study

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundAirway inflammation is considered one of the pathogenic factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the role of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the development of RA remains unclear. We used cross‐sectional studies and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the link between COPD and RA.MethodsIn National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2018, the association between COPD and RA was investigated using weighted logistic regression models. We also used subgroup analysis and interaction tests to explore the relationship between COPD and RA in populations with different clinical characteristics. The inverse‐variance weighted (IVW) method was the primary method of MR analysis for investigating the causal effect of exposure on outcome.ResultsAfter adjusting for smoking history and other variables, weighted logistic regression analysis of 14 768 participants indicated that COPD is associated with an increased odds of developing RA (OR = 1.899, p < 0.001). Interaction tests showed that there is an interaction with this relationship concerning gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and hypercholesterolemia (p < 0.05). MR analysis showed a causal relationship between COPD and increased odds of RA (OR = 1.072, p = 0.008). Multivariable MR analysis, adjusted for smoking, also yielded the same result (OR = 1.071, p = 0.024).ConclusionOur study suggests that COPD may have a potential causal role in the development of RA. Further research is needed to validate our findings.
Taking pleasure seriously: Should alcohol research say more about fun?
Authors: Nicholls James , Hunt Geoffrey 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundThis paper invites discussion on whether pleasure should receive more attention in public health‐oriented research on alcohol. While there is a history of sociological and anthropological literature exploring alcohol and pleasure, this is much less common in public health‐oriented alcohol research, and associated advocacy.ArgumentWe propose three broad reasons why more extensive engagement with issues of pleasure may be important for public health‐oriented research. The first is epistemological: because overlooking pleasure risks leaving a gap in knowledge of a key component of, and motive for, drinking. The second is ethical: because the prioritisation of long‐term health over shorter‐term pleasures is not uncontested, and needs to be explicitly justified. The third is pragmatic: because ceding the discourse on pleasure to other actors (including commercial ones) risks undermining effective engagement with target populations.ConclusionsThere is strong case for more attention to pleasure in public health‐oriented alcohol research. Key to this is the further development of interdisciplinary perspectives and mixed‐methods research. This brings both conceptual and methodological challenges, many of which remain unresolved; however, bringing these issues to the surface may enable greater clarity on both normative principles (including arguments against research engaging with pleasure) and practical questions concerning the design of research and analysis in this area.
Thyroid Autoimmunity: The Treatment of Hashimoto's Disease, or the Presence of Antithyroid Antibodies Alone, in Pregnancy
Authors: Scher Jonathan , Dabao Carmen , Rukat Caitlin 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTProblemHashimoto's disease is the commonest autoimmune disease of pregnancy. The presence of Anti‐Thyroid antibodies (ATAs) alone [subclinical hypothyroidism] has also been shown to have adverse pregnancy effects. These can result in failure to conceive, recurrent miscarriages, anemia, preeclampsia, and abruption. Hashimoto's disease in reproduction can cause difficulty in conception through hormonal interference. It can also cause miscarriages, growth retardation, and preterm birth. The current recommended treatment is the administration of levothyroxine. This corrects the thyroid balance and may relieve the patient's hypothyroid symptoms. However, repeated recent studies have shown that it is no more effective than a placebo in correcting obstetric complications.Method of StudyAs a result, we decided to use an anti‐autoimmune‐directed treatment for this disorder. We selected to use IVIG for both its known powerful anti‐inflammatory and anti‐autoimmune benefits. There are several studies and observational reports in the literature on the use of IVIG in pregnancy for treating recurrent miscarriages and repeated failed IVF. However, there are no reports in the literature on using IVIG to treat Hashimoto's disease, or the presence of ATAs alone, in pregnancy.ResultsThis study showed an increase in live births in the IVIG‐treated group versus the non‐IVIG‐treated group after adjustment for maternal age at delivery (OR = 4.6, 95% CI (1.1, 18.1)). There were no adverse effects in the patients who received IVIG.ConclusionIVIG is effective in significantly improving the obstetric outcome in patients with Hashimoto's disease, or the presence of ATAs alone.
“‘To be all Ears’ [Être À L'Écoute], to be Listening”: Listening to Music with Jean‐Luc Nancy (Parts a, b, e)
Authors: Duarte Bono Eduardo M. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractSometimes we hear music (when we play it or hear it, whether live or recorded) and that experience is felt as a singular event. In those moments we find ourselves in an existential situation that, because it is singular (rare, unique, unintended), reveals the formative power of an aesthetic experience of listening to music, what we might call learning how to be poetic. Here, Eduardo Duarte Bono explores how engaging with Jean‐Luc Nancy can enable us to deepen our appreciation for music's aesthetic education. Specifically, Nancy's category of “resonant subjectivity” describes the existential place where this education is occurring during those singular experiences with music, what Nancy describes as “‘to be all ears’ [être à l'écoute], to be listening.” As a way of amplifying Nancy's writing on listening to music, Duarte Bono takes up three distinct cases in this paper: the percussionist Evelyn Glennie, Pablo Picasso's sculpture Guitar, and Ralph Ellison's musings on living with music as a writer.
Impact of Gasoline and Diesel Subsidy Reforms on Global Biofuel Mandates
Authors: Argueyrolles Robin , Heimann Tobias , Delzeit Ruth 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTFossil fuel subsidy reform(s) support the deployment of low‐carbon technologies, yet fossil fuel subsidies remain stubbornly high, while money allocated by governments to renewable energy continues to grow. In the transport sector, this tension is observed between biofuels that still rely on national policies and gasoline/diesel subsidies. Using a global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, we study how phasing out gasoline and diesel subsidies would impact global biofuel mandates. We find that where they are implemented, Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reforms increase biofuel competitiveness and lower the cost of achieving the mandates. The fiscal benefit is therefore twofold with savings on fossil and bio‐based energy subsidies. In a multilateral reform scenario, we simulate the rise in fiscal revenue from phasing out the fossil fuel subsidies to be 25% higher when the avoided spending on biofuels' support is accounted for. In the rest of the world, however, the biofuel targets become costlier to achieve as the price of fossil fuels drops. Considering that global biofuel 2030 targets are achieved, governments' support for biofuel falls by $6 billion in regions phasing gasoline and diesel subsidies but increases by $600 million in the rest of the world.

ABSTRACTSerine‐arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) play important roles in diverse biological processes such as alternative splicing and cell cycle. However, the functions of SRPKs in DNA damage response remain unclear. Here we characterized the function of SRPKs homolog Dsk1 in regulating DNA repair in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We demonstrated that Dsk1 defective mutants of loss of the gene, spacer domain, and kinase activity as well as its overexpression mutant exhibited sensitivities of replication stress. Genetic analysis revealed that the loss of dsk1+ compromised the efficiency of homologous recombination (HR) repair, and Dsk1 was probably involved in the Rad52‐ and Rad51‐dependent HR repair pathways. Interestingly, Dsk1 translocated into the nucleus upon replication stress and directly interacted with Rad51‐mediator Rad52 and phosphorylated Rad52‐Ser365 residue. The Rad52‐Ser365 phosphorylation‐defective mutant was slightly sensitive to replication stress, and the phosphorylation‐mimicking mutants exhibited more sensitivities, which were partially correlated with phenotypes of the loss‐ and gain‐of‐function of dsk1+. This study uncovers a potential HR repair regulator Dsk1 in response to replication stress and implies that its homolog SRPKs may have the conserved targets and functions in higher eukaryotes.
Editor's Highlights—February 2025
Authors: Kemény Lajos 
Published: January 2025

AbstractUnderstanding the pathophysiology of inflammatory skin diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD), and prurigo nodularis (PN), has led to the development of innovative treatments. In the February issue of the Journal, we provide insight into the global epidemiology and psychosocial impact of psoriasis. We also discuss the role of tissue‐resident memory T cells in disease recurrence and evaluate the effectiveness of tildrakizumab in treating difficult areas in psoriasis. A novel framework is introduced in AD research that integrates social determinants of health, emphasizing systemic inequities over biological factors. Additionally, a meta‐analysis identifies a strong bidirectional link between AD and PN, highlighting shared pathophysiological mechanisms and potential therapeutic opportunities.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAim(s)To clarify the concept of preconception care and develop a precise and inclusive definition to improve its implementation and impact on reproductive health outcomes.DesignThis concept analysis paper employs Rodgers' evolutionary method to analyse the concept of preconception care, examining its historical evolution, attributes, antecedents and consequences.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases such as Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, MEDLINE and Google Scholar, covering publications from 2012 to 2024. Data extraction involved identifying surrogate and related terms, attributes, antecedents and consequences of preconception care. A total of 1520 publications were retrieved, with 166 meeting eligibility criteria. Using systematic random sampling, 40 articles were selected for in‐depth analysis.ResultsThe analysis revealed that preconception care encompasses several attributes: period‐related (biological, individual, public health and intergenerational), target population‐related (individual, public and intergenerational) and pathway‐related (universal, targeted and comprehensive). Antecedents include desires for a healthy baby and family planning decisions. Consequently, it improves pregnancy outcomes and health equity and enhances community and intergenerational health. The proposed operational definition highlights preconception care as a proactive strategy to optimise health before pregnancy through targeted and inclusive interventions.ConclusionPreconception care is a dynamic and multifaceted process that extends from immediate preconception periods to long‐term health considerations. Addressing diverse needs and effectively improving health outcomes requires a tailored approach considering individual, public and intergenerational perspectives.Implications for Professions and Patient CareA transparent and inclusive definition of preconception care will enable healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, to deliver more effective, culturally sensitive and equitable care. It will support advocacy for policy changes, resource allocation and educational initiatives to enhance preconception health.ImpactAddressing preconception care's complexities and diverse needs will foster a more comprehensive understanding and implementation of preconception care, ultimately improving reproductive health outcomes and promoting health equity across generations.Patient or Public ContributionAs this concept analysis was derived from published articles, patients or the public were not involved in the study's design, conduct or reporting.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAimThis study uses latent profile analysis to explore the latent characteristics of research competence among speciality nurses and its influencing factors.DesignThis study is a cross‐sectional study.MethodsFrom January to February 2024, 813 speciality nurses were recruited from five tertiary hospitals in Henan Province, China, using a convenience sampling method. Participants completed an online questionnaire, which included a scientific research ability self‐evaluation rating scale of nursing staff and a reflective practice questionnaire. Conducted latent profile analysis of the research competence characteristics of speciality nurses and identified the influencing factors of their latent profiles through univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression. Data were analysed using Mplus version 8.3 and SPSS version 26.0.ResultsA total of 792 speciality nurses were enrolled, with a valid response rate of 97.42%. We identified three latent categories of research competence among speciality nurses: an uneven research competence group (30.93%), a high research competence group (19.07%), and a moderate research competence group (50.0%). Multiple logistic regressions indicated that single speciality nurses were more likely to belong to the moderate research competence group (OR = 2.04, p = 0.003); speciality nurses with a college diploma were more likely to belong to the uneven research competence group (OR = 0.04, p = 0.005); specialty nurses who are permanent staff were more likely to belong to the high research competence group (OR = 1.946, p = 0.031); reflective practice was an important factor affecting the research competence of speciality nurses (OR = 0.985–1.015, p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe majority of speciality nurses were classified into the moderate research competence group. Nursing managers should focus on enhancing the research awareness of speciality nurses and strengthening research training for those with lower educational backgrounds. Additionally, it is recommended to establish incentive mechanisms for nurses participating in research to enhance their research enthusiasm and foster their reflective practice skills throughout the research process.ImpactThe latent characteristics and influencing factors of research competence among different categories of speciality nurses provide valuable evidence for developing individualised intervention strategies.No Patient or Public ContributionsThis study aims to explore the factors related to the research competence of speciality nurses. There were no contributions from patients or the public.
