AbstractEvidence regarding associations of general and abdominal obesity with the risk of conventional adenomas (ADs) and serrated polyps (SPs) from Asian population is scarce. Our study aimed to investigate the independent and joint associations of general obesity assessed by body mass index (BMI) and abdominal obesity assessed by waist circumference (WC) or waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) with the risk of ADs and SPs among 25 222 participants recruited by a population‐based screening program. Compared to participants with normal BMI, those with a BMI ≥28 kg/m2 had increased risk of ADs (odds ratio [OR] 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36‐1.70) and SPs (OR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.38‐2.07). For participants with a WC ≥102 cm (≥88 cm for females), the risk of ADs (OR 1.37, 95% CI: 1.25‐1.51) and SPs (OR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.52‐2.16) was higher than that of the reference group. For participants with a WHR ≥0.95 (≥0.90 for females), the risk of ADs (OR 1.26, 95% CI: 1.16‐1.36) and SPs (OR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.26‐1.69) was higher than that of the reference group. Moreover, participants with both BMI ≥28 kg/m2 and WC ≥102 cm (≥88 cm for females) had 61% and 119% higher risk of ADs (OR 1.61, 95% CI: 1.39‐1.85) and SPs (OR 2.19, 95% CI: 1.70‐2.82) compared to those with both normal BMI and WC. These findings indicate that both general and abdominal obesity are associated with SPs and ADs, presenting stronger association with SPs than ADs. Moreover, the association is more evident when both obesities exist.

Authors: Dewhirst Mary N. , Hammond Matt D. , Salmon Karen 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIntroductionRobust research links qualities of parent–child discussions about past emotion‐laden events to socioemotional development and broader psychological outcomes during childhood. The role of parent–adolescent reminiscing in adolescent psychological adjustment, however, has received less attention, despite adolescence being a time of heightened vulnerability for the development of internalizing symptoms. In the current multimethod study, we investigated cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations between the qualities of conversations between mothers and adolescents (ages 13–16) and adolescents' internalizing problems.MethodsParticipants were 67 mother–adolescent dyads (total N = 134, 58.8% of youth identified as female) located across regions of New Zealand/Aotearoa. Each dyad discussed a past shared conflict, coded for supportive and unsupportive reminiscing conversational qualities with an adapted dyadic coding scheme. Youth internalizing symptoms were assessed at two‐time points, 12‐month apart.ResultsDyadic structural equation modeling analyzed cross‐sectional and longitudinal relationships between conversational qualities and adolescents' internalizing problems. Findings indicated concurrent associations between unsupportive mother–adolescent reminiscing qualities and heightened youth anxiety symptoms: Specifically, mothers' avoidance and lower levels of emotion discussion and adolescents' emotional disengagement were linked to greater youth anxiety symptoms. Moreover, increases in youth anxiety symptoms 12 months later were weaker for youth who engaged in greater levels of the supportive reminiscing qualities of balanced emotion discussion and active problem‐solving.ConclusionsThese novel findings highlight the transactional nature and complex dynamics of reminiscing during adolescence and their relationship with youth mental health, which has implications for theory and clinical practice.
Delivering effective combined treatments in mental health settings with difficult‐to‐treat patients: A bipolar case study illustrating the role of teamwork and other mediators
Authors: Scherb Elena , Kerman Bernardo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractEven in well‐delivered treatments, a significant proportion of patients with severe diagnoses will not achieve sustained remission. For example, research demonstrates that in Bipolar II disorder, while psychological interventions combined with pharmacotherapy yield much better results than pharmacotherapy alone, relapse rates remain very high. In this article, we show the successful treatment of Mrs. C., who was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder and fell into the non‐responders. The treatment integrated a novel approach grounded on a cognitive‐behavioral theory with a systemic perspective. The psychotherapist, the psychiatrist, and a family therapist composed the teamwork and delivered the treatment in three phases. In the first phase, the psychotherapist conjointly with the psychiatrist aimed at reducing symptoms. In the second phase, the psychotherapist and the family therapist addressed the dysfunctional relationship patterns that negatively reinforced emotional dysregulation. Finally, in the third phase, the aim was to consolidate the achievements, changes, and good outcomes.

AbstractBACKGROUNDZeolite NaP1 with high crystalline intensity and good shape has been synthesized by utilizing rice husk ash. Several factors related to the formation of zeolite, such as mixing ratios, aging time, and reaction time, were investigated. Furthermore, the potential phosphate adsorption of the optimal synthesized zeolite was evaluated.RESULTSUnder the optimal conditions (SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio = 4.0, NaOH concentration = 1.5 M, aging time = 12 h, and reaction time = 8 h), the surface area and pore diameter of the zeolite NaP1 obtained were 50 m2 g−1 and 40.77 Å, respectively. By varying the aging and reaction times, zeolite NaP1 with different surface areas could be created. Specifically, reducing the aging time and reaction time result in zeolite NaP1 with a lower surface area. The adsorption efficiency and adsorption capacity of the optimal synthesized zeolite NaP1 were 38.67% and 19.97 mg g−1, respectively, at pH 6.0, with an initial phosphate concentration of 100 mg L−1, an adsorbent dosage of 2 g L−1, and a contact time of 120 min. The data are well described under the Temkin and Redlich‐Peterson models, with the correlation coefficients of 0.991 and 0.995, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of the Langmuir model reached 19.053 mg g−1.CONCLUSIONThe main contribution of this work is the direct use of rice husk ash without pretreatment to generate high crystalline zeolite NaP1 in a shorter time. The phosphate ion removal efficiency by zeolite NaP1 may be further improved by functionalizing zeolite surfaces and expanding its other applications. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

AbstractCurrent evidence suggests that the mortality rate of intermediate‐stage hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐related acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains high. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) with sequential low‐volume plasma exchange (LPE) treatment in intermediate‐stage HBV‐related ACLF. This prospective study recruited intermediate‐stage HBV‐related ACLF patients and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 04597164). Eligible patients were randomly divided into a trial group and a control group. Patients in both groups received comprehensive medical treatment. Patients in the trial group further received DPMAS with sequential LPE. Data were recorded from baseline to Week 12. Fifty patients with intermediate‐stage HBV‐related ACLF were included in this study. The incidence of bleeding events and allergic reactions in the trial group was 12% and 4%, respectively, with no other treatment‐related adverse events. The levels of total bilirubin and prothrombin time‐international normalized ratio, and model for end‐stage liver disease scores after each session of DPMAS with sequential LPE were significantly lower than those before treatment (all p < 0.05). The 12‐week cumulative liver transplantation‐free survival rates in the trial and control groups were 52% and 24%, respectively (p = 0.041). The 12‐week cumulative overall survival rates in the trial and control groups were 64% and 36%, respectively (p = 0.048). The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed significant differences in liver transplantation‐free survival (p = 0.047) and overall survival (p = 0.038) between the trial and control groups. Cox regression analysis indicated that blood urea nitrogen (p = 0.038), DPMAS with sequential LPE (p = 0.048), and Chinese Group on the Study of Severe Hepatitis B‐ACLF II score (p < 0.001) were significant risk factors for mortality. DPMAS with sequential LPE treatment is safe and effective for patients with intermediate‐stage HBV‐related ACLF.

AbstractThe antiviral drugs tecovirimat, brincidofovir, and cidofovir are considered for mpox (monkeypox) treatment despite a lack of clinical evidence. Moreover, their use is affected by toxic side‐effects (brincidofovir, cidofovir), limited availability (tecovirimat), and potentially by resistance formation. Hence, additional, readily available drugs are needed. Here, therapeutic concentrations of nitroxoline, a hydroxyquinoline antibiotic with a favourable safety profile in humans, inhibited the replication of 12 mpox virus isolates from the current outbreak in primary cultures of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts and a skin explant model by interference with host cell signalling. Tecovirimat, but not nitroxoline, treatment resulted in rapid resistance development. Nitroxoline remained effective against the tecovirimat‐resistant strain and increased the anti‐mpox virus activity of tecovirimat and brincidofovir. Moreover, nitroxoline inhibited bacterial and viral pathogens that are often co‐transmitted with mpox. In conclusion, nitroxoline is a repurposing candidate for the treatment of mpox due to both antiviral and antimicrobial activity.

AbstractBackgroundThe balance of stroke risk reduction and potential bleeding risk associated with antithrombotic treatment (ATT) remains unclear in atrial fibrillation (AF) at non‐gender CHA2DS2‐VASc scores 0–1. A net clinical benefit (NCB) analysis of ATT may guide stroke prevention strategies in AF with non‐gender CHA2DS2‐VASc scores 0–1.MethodsThis multi‐center cohort study evaluated the clinical outcomes of treatment with a single antiplatelet (SAPT), vitamin K antagonist (VKA), and non‐VKA oral anticoagulant (NOAC) in non‐gender CHA2DS2‐VASc score 0–1 and further stratified by biomarker‐based ABCD score (Age [≥60 years], B‐type natriuretic peptide [BNP] or N‐terminal pro‐BNP [≥300 pg/mL], creatinine clearance [<50 mL/min], and dimension of the left atrium [≥45 mm]). The primary outcome was the NCB of ATT, including composite thrombotic events (ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and myocardial infarction) and major bleeding events.ResultsWe included 2465 patients (age 56.2 ± 9.5 years; female 27.0%) followed‐up for 4.0 ± 2.8 years, of whom 661 (26.8%) were treated with SAPT; 423 (17.2%) with VKA; and 1040 (42.2%) with NOAC. With detailed risk stratification using the ABCD score, NOAC showed a significant positive NCB compared with the other ATTs (SAPT vs. NOAC, NCB 2.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37–4.66; VKA vs. NOAC, NCB 2.38, 95% CI 0.56–5.40) in ABCD score ≥1. ATT failed to show a positive NCB in patients with truly low stroke risk (ABCD score = 0).ConclusionsIn the Korean AF cohort at non‐gender CHA2DS2‐VASc scores 0–1, NOAC showed significant NCB advantages over VKA or SAPT with ABCD score ≥1.
Kamapim gutpela man: Papua New Guinean and Chinese refinery workers' changing understandings of becoming a good man
Authors: Kuo I‐Chang 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTThis article adds to research on emerging masculinities in the Pacific by analysing how Papua New Guinean and Chinese male employees' intercultural work experiences impact their perceptions of becoming a good man. The idea of a good man acts as a benchmark for assessing the adaptability of Papua New Guinean employees to new work environments and determining if Chinese colleagues are their desired partners. I illustrate this point by first considering ‘becoming’ as an alternate framework to the binary framework reflected in earlier research. I next describe how Papua New Guinean workers impress their Chinese supervisors through negotiations and concessions about industrial and subsistence farming time, as well as how working with Papua New Guinean workers alters Chinese employees' perceptions of work. Finally, I demonstrate how employment practices foster Papua New Guinean workers' evolving perspectives on becoming agutpela man(‘good man’) and Chinese employees' evolving perspectives on becoming a good person, a vital route to becoming achenggongman (‘successful man’). This article proposes characterizing emerging masculinities as hybrid identities that are context‐dependent, interculturally exchanged and temporal by presenting two parties' new thoughts on becoming a good man. This article demonstrates modulatory power dynamics in the Chinese refinery based on a two‐way narrative as opposed to portraying Chinese management as the dominating force.
A Research Note on Austronesian Relationship Terminologies With and Without Relative Age Categories
Authors: Fox James J. 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTThis research note examines the formal patterning of Austronesian relationship terminologies with or without relative age categories. Specifically, the article considers (1) the formal contrast between these patterns, (2) the key variant forms of these patterns, and (3) the distribution of these patterns and their associated variants throughout the Austronesian‐speaking world. It offers a succinct examination of a key dimension of Austronesian terminologies and points to the position of eastern Indonesia as an innovative transition zone in the development of Austronesian terminologies.
Projection of future dry‐wet evolution in Northwest China and its uncertainty attribution analysis

AbstractProjection of future dry‐wet evolution is essential for making long‐term regional climate adaptation strategies. In this study, the projection of regional dry‐wet evolution is conducted with a careful consideration on uncertainty attribution. The Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) is adopted due to its physical mechanisms for taking evaporative demand into account. A three‐dimensional framework is constructed for quantifying the range of uncertainty of the ESI in which six Global Climate Models (GCMs) in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6), three latest Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios, and six Potential Evapotranspiration Models (PETMs) are used. The framework provides 108 different ESI simulations for two future periods: 2041–2070 (mid‐future) and 2071–2100 (far‐future). An agglomerative‐hierarchical clustering method and the Analysis of Variance methodology are employed to evaluate the relative contribution of each uncertainty source. The region of Northwest China is used as a case to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The results indicate that most of the parts in Northwest China would experience dry mitigation in both mid‐future and far‐future periods. Projected ESI by PM[CO2] model and ACCESS‐ESM1‐5 suggestes a higher tendency for dry mitigation. Hierarchical clustering analysis of the 108 sets of ESI predictions indicate that most clusters are dominated by GCM forcing, and one cluster is dominated by the SSP1‐2.6 scenario. Furthermore, GCM‐related uncertainty′s relative contribution to the total projection uncertainty is the greatest, with an average value of 49.98% in the far future (i.e., 2071–2100 s). Although the contribution of SSP uncertainty is smaller (21.68%−28.43%), it increases in far‐future over mid‐future. The case study indicates that the large scale ensemble prediction of ESI and its uncertainty analysis provide a more comprehensive data set on climate change and help water managers to gain in‐depth understanding of future trends of drought projections.

AbstractSurface‐redox pseudocapacitive nanomaterials show promise for fast‐charging energy storage. However, their high surface area usually leads to low density, which is not conducive to achieving both high volumetric capacity and high‐rate capability. Herein, we demonstrate that TiO2 nanosheets (meso‐TiO2‐NSs) with densely packed mesoporous are capable of fast pseudocapacitance‐dominated sodium‐ion storage, as well as high volumetric and gravimetric capacities. Through compressing treatment, the compaction density of meso‐TiO2‐NSs is up to ~1.6 g/cm3, combined with high surface area and high porosity with mesopore channels for rapid Na+ diffusion. The compacted meso‐TiO2‐NSs electrodes achieve high pseudocapacitance (93.6% of total charge at 1 mV/s), high‐rate capability (up to 10 A/g), and long‐term cycling stability (10,000 cycles). More importantly, the space‐efficiently packed structure enables high volumetric capacity. The thick‐film meso‐TiO2‐NSs anode with the mass loading of 10 mg/cm2 delivers a gravimetric capacity of 165 mAh/g and a volumetric capacity of 223 mAh/cm3 at 5 mA/cm2, much higher than those of commercial hard carbon anode (80 mAh/g and 86 mAh/cm3). This work highlights a pathway for designing a dense nanostructure that enables fast charge kinetics for high‐density sodium‐ion storage.
Rebirth of CuInS2 as hole transport material for perovskite solar cells
Authors: Ahmed Rida 
Published: March 2023

AbstractCopper indium sulfide, CuInS2 (CIS), has entered the field of photovoltaic cells for about three decades but somehow, they have not met their theoretically predicted efficiency as an absorber material. However, it is being employed as a hole transport layer in conjunction with organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells, which offer improved environmental stability at a reduced production cost. This commentary piece aims to draw researchers' attention to the use of CIS as hole transport layers in organic‐inorganic perovskite solar cells, with the expectation that further study and efficiency improvements will propel perovskite solar cells into the commercialization race.
Vulnerability assessment to flood hazards of households in flood‐prone areas of Kasese District, Western Uganda
Authors: Tibara Yayiru , Wasswa Hannington , Semakula Henry Musoke 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe study evaluated the level of household vulnerability to flood hazards in Kasese Municipality, Kasese District, Uganda. The municipality is divided into three divisions (viz., Central, Bulembia, and Nyamwamba). The study utilized both secondary and primary data. Secondary data were obtained through an extensive literature review, and primary data were obtained through household survey. Seventy households were systematically randomly selected from each division. The study used an indicator‐based methodology. The indicators under the different categories were broken down into different classes basing on their features. The indicators were then normalized, and weights were assigned to different indicators using principal component analysis (PCA). The variables normalized were multiplied with the weights assigned to develop the indices for the components of vulnerability. Indices of vulnerability were created at the home level and aggregated at the division level. A chi‐squared test at a significance level of 5% was used to test for differences in the level of household vulnerability. The results revealed that the Nyamwamba division was most exposed whereas the Central division was least exposed to floods. The Central division was also found most sensitive whereas the Bulembia division was least sensitive to floods. The Central division had better capacity to cope with floods whereas the Bulembia division had the least capacity. The study further revealed a significant difference in the level of households' vulnerability across the divisions. However, overall, the Nyamwamba division was found most vulnerable and the Central division least vulnerable to floods. About 43.8% of the households in Kasese Municipality were found highly vulnerable to floods. To reduce the high levels of exposure, households nearer major flooding river should be relocated to safer places and restrict settlement in flood‐prone areas. To reduce the high levels of sensitivity and enhance adaptive capacities, the local government and other stakeholders should give jobs/income‐generating opportunities to enhance the income levels and savings of the households in the flood‐prone areas. To reduce the high levels of vulnerability, government and other stakeholders should develop policies and allocate funds for disaster risk reduction and adequately respond to flood disasters at the lowest administrative units of villages and subcounties.
