Authors: Tridello Andrea , Boursier Niutta Carlo , Rossetto Massimo , Berto Filippo , Paolino Davide S. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn the present paper, a review on the design curves for safe–life fatigue design is provided. The methodologies available in the literature for the assessment of the strain–life and stress–life design curves have been analyzed, focusing also on the industrial practice for the design of critical components. The low‐cycle fatigue (LCF), high‐cycle fatigue (HCF), and very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) life ranges have been considered in the analyses. Design curves should take into account the randomness associated with the material parameter estimation and model it in a probabilistic framework. The analyses carried out in the paper have shown that methodologies based on shifting the median curve or the best‐fitting curve by a fixed safety factor or a safety factor dependent on the reliability and confidence targets are among the most used. On the other hand, in several research works, more complex statistical models and methodologies, for example, based on the maximum likelihood principle or the bootstrap approach, have been proposed but are less widespread because they require a more complex implementation. The strengths and the weaknesses of the investigated methodologies have been discussed, providing also indications on future research trends.
Attention allocation: An empirical analysis of the asymmetric market responses to information shocks in China

Published: January 2025

AbstractAttention allocation—investors allocate their attention disproportionately within a day—has implications on how the market responds to information. Using high‐frequency jumps detected in China, we show that the market underreacts to overnight information shocks, and the underreaction stems mainly from the short‐leg stocks with highly negative overnight jumps. In comparison, the market overreacts to intraday information shocks, and the overreaction stems mainly from the long‐leg stocks with highly positive intraday jumps. Moreover, the underreaction pattern strengthens while the overreaction pattern attenuates during market crashes, as investors pay limited attention when market performance is poor. Overall, these patterns are consistent with the interplay between attention allocation and investor sophistication in reshaping the asymmetric market reactions to information.

ABSTRACTThe blackspotted croaker (Protonibea diacanthus) is among the highest‐valued commercial marine fish species in Bangladesh. Therefore, we assessed the stock status, economic significance, and market status of blackspotted croaker in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. We estimated life history parameters and sustainability indicators to determine if the stock was being sustainably managed. Size of blackspotted croaker was significantly differ temporally. Blackspotted croaker increased in weight allometrically in relation to length. Length‐age life history parameters were L∞ = 161.16 cm, k = 0.39 year−1. Natural mortality M was 0.39 year−1 and fishing mortality F was 0.35 year−1. Catch composition and sustainably indicators revealed that the stock was prone to recruitment and growth overfishing. Medium to large sized blackspotted croaker (> 85 cm) fetched the highest price in commercial markets for the swim bladders that was worth many times more than the value of fillets. The highest demand of swim bladders in export commerce termed this species as marine gold to the fishers. Therefore, fishers were increasingly motivated to target the species. Ununiformed landing of blackspotted croaker, for domestic and international trade of swim bladder of blackspotted croaker, and poorly documented trading supply chains make this fishing industry luck‐driven. Management interventions are needed to sustain the fishery and economic value.

Published: January 2025

AimThe four‐item questionnaire test (4QT) is a simple screening measure of dysphagia for older people. A positive answer to any item indicates the need for further assessment. The 4QT is fast, simple to apply and requires no training beforehand. However, it is not translated to Danish, and the psychometric properties in an older Danish population are unknown. The aim was to translate the 4QT to Danish, determine criterion validity according to the existing measures, the Minimal Eating Observation Form‐II (MEOF‐II) and Volume‐Viscosity Swallow Test (V‐VST), and determine construct and structural validity and reliability by exploring whether 4QT fits the assumptions of the Rasch model.MethodsThe 4QT was translated and back‐translated. A total of 73 participants aged ≥65 years were included and screened with the 4QT‐DK, and assessed using the V‐VST and MEOF‐II. Criterion validity was assessed compared with the V‐VST and MEOF‐II according to sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. Construct and structural validity were examined using confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch model analysis investigating item and person fit, differential item functioning for sex, age, primary disease and local dependency. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's coefficient alpha.ResultsFor criterion validity, the 4QT‐DK showed high sensitivity (84% and 90% with the V‐VST and MEOF‐II, respectively). As expected, specificity was lower (36%, and 42%). Analyses confirmed the psychometric validity of the 4QT‐DK. Reliability was low (Cronbach's alpha = 0.58) due to the number of items.ConclusionThe 4QT‐DK is a valid and sensitive measure for screening older people for dysphagia. Further studies are required to assess the psychometric properties and confirm findings in a larger Danish sample. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 294–299.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundA lack of social support contributes to women from culturally diverse backgrounds experiencing higher rates of perinatal distress and lower rates of service engagement.Objective/MethodsThis participatory action research study aimed to understand what a culturally appropriate social intervention may look like for pregnant women from culturally diverse backgrounds. Field notes and qualitative transcripts were descriptively synthesised.ResultsChallenges of engaging with culturally diverse communities in the context of perinatal health services were identified. Cultural factors and practices were seen to impact upon service engagement, with parents more likely to seek support outside of health settings. Community members expressed frustrations with the lack of deep cultural sensitivity in the structure and delivery of health services. Clear definitions in scope and aim of any intervention were indicated, before further community engagement.DiscussionChallenges in engaging individuals and services from diverse communities highlighted the risks of ideas embedded in oversimplified understandings based on cultural stereotypes and assumptions of homogeneity of experiences at the intersection of cultural diversity, perinatal distress and health services.ConclusionsDeep cultural sensitivity requires an understanding of how members of population groups perceive and understand health and wellbeing to directly inform the development of any intervention. Attempting to design a culturally sensitive intervention for socially isolated and culturally diverse parents within mainstream health services, led to a paradoxical tension between attempting to address needs in culturally insensitive ways or not attempting to address the needs at all.Patient or Public ContributionMembers of the public and people who identified as having lived experience of social isolation, cultural diversity or mental distress were engaged in the community consultation phase of the study.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIntroductionDisseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is associated with acute leukemia. DIC prevalence and clinical consequences are complex and varies across acute leukemia subtypes. The International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) scoring system is used for the detection of overt DIC.MethodsChildren of both sexes (1 day‐18 years) with acute leukemia, suspected to have DIC and referred to hematology laboratory were included in the study. DIC score was calculated according to ISTH guidelines from laboratory values obtained within 24 h of admission and repeated after 2 weeks. The DIC cases were classified into overt DIC if ISTH score ≤ 5 and non‐overt if ISTH score > 5.ResultsSixty‐two children diagnosed with acute leukemia and having the clinical and laboratory diagnostic features of DIC along with 48 age‐matched healthy controls participated in the study. DIC was more frequently diagnosed in cases of AML (66.13%) compared to ALL (33.87%). Cases with T‐ALL had DIC (19.4%) more frequently than B‐ALL type (14.5%). Similarly, children with M5, M2, and M3 had DIC more frequently (16.1%, 15.58% and 14.28%, respectively) compared to other AML types. Overt DIC was observed in 71% of DIC cases with acute leukemia while non‐overt DIC was diagnosed in 29% of them. Follow‐up for 14 days of non‐overt cases showed that 12 out of 18 patients progressed from non‐overt to overt DIC with a significant increase in D‐dimer and a decline in platelets count. The incidence of bleeding (35.4%) was higher than thrombosis (19.4%) among acute leukemia patients with DIC. An ISTH score ≤ 5 predicted increased intensive care unit (ICU) admission, death and end organ dysfunction with odds ratio of 4.28, 6.77, and 6.67, respectively. Based on receiver–operator analysis of DIC cases classified as overt and non‐overt DIC based on ISTH score, D‐Dimer was excellent predictor of overt DIC with the high sensitivity and specificity.ConclusionISTH score predicts death, ICU admission and organ dysfunction in children with acute leukemia. D‐Dimer is an excellent predictor of overt DIC in acute leukemia.

ABSTRACTInsights into the underlying immunological mechanisms of prophylactic sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) may support the development of new strategies for improved prevention and treatment of food allergy. Here, we investigated the humoral, regulatory and sublingual tissue immune response to prophylactic SLIT administration of a single purified peanut allergen in Brown Norway (BN) rats. BN rats received daily sublingual administration of peanut allergen Ara h 6 for three weeks. Suppression of sensitisation was evaluated by subsequent intraperitoneal administration of Ara h 6. Ara h 6‐specific IgE, IgA, IgG1 and IgG2a‐c levels were measured in serum. The frequency of regulatory T (Treg) cells was analysed using flow cytometry. The sublingual tissue response to Ara h 6 was analysed by transcriptional profiling using mRNA‐sequencing. Ara h 6 SLIT protected rats from subsequent sensitisation without inducing a detectable humoral immune response (Ara h 6‐specific IgE, IgA, IgG1 and IgG2a‐c) in serum. SLIT furthermore promoted the relative expansion of induced Helios− Treg cells within the conventional CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Treg population in sublingual draining lymph nodes and blood. In conclusion, prophylactic Ara h 6 SLIT drives the relative expansion of induced Helios− Treg cells in the absence of Ara h 6‐specific IgA highlighting a potential novel IgA‐independent Treg‐related immune response at the sublingual mucosal site.

ABSTRACTWheat (Triticum aestivum L. (2n = 6x = 42; AABBDD)) is a commodity crop serving diverse value chains worldwide. However, drought stress and poor soil health are major causes of a yield gap in wheat production. Silicon (Si) fertiliser application with drought‐adapted wheat cultivars may enhance wheat productivity. This study aimed to examine the impact of Si fertilisation on agronomic performance and trait associations in wheat under drought stress to identify selection criteria for improving drought tolerance and Si response. Twenty wheat genotypes were evaluated, involving two water regimes and two Si fertiliser formulations in three environments, using a factorial experiment laid out in a randomised complete block design with three replications. Both liquid and granular Si formulations enhanced the agronomic performance of wheat compared to the untreated control, under both drought‐stressed (DS) and nonstressed (NS) conditions. Variable degrees of correlations were recorded under different water regimes and fertiliser formulations. Si fertilisation improved favourable trait correlations compared to the untreated control under DS and NS conditions. Grain yield had positive associations with hundred seed weight (HSW), under NS conditions when using liquid Si (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and granular Si (r = 0.69, p < 0.001). Strong trait correlations were detected between productive tiller number (TN) and productive spike number (PS) for granular Si (r = 0.99, p < 0.001), liquid Si (r = 1.00, p < 0.001) and the untreated control (r = 0.98, p < 0.001), under DS conditions. With both granular and liquid Si applications under DS conditions, there were high trait correlations between spike length (SL) and TN (r = 0.72, p < 0.001; r = 0.63, p < 0.001, respectively), and PS (r = 0.73, p < 0.001; r = 0.62, p < 0.001, respectively). Under DS, HSW (0.84) and PS (0.64) had higher direct effects on grain yield with granular Si application, while TN and PS (0.94) had higher indirect effects on grain yield under liquid Si application. Under NS, aboveground biomass (0.68) had the highest direct effects on grain yield with granular Si compared to the liquid Si formulation and the untreated control. The genotypes MC10, MC6, MC1, MC3 and MC11, with granular Si application, were high yielders in descending order and are recommended for breeding and variety release in South Africa. The correlation and path coefficient analyses distinguished TN, PS and HSW as principal traits contributing to enhanced grain yield under drought stress, making them vital parameters for selecting Si use‐efficient breeding lines.

AbstractBaTiO3 (BTO) thin films were deposited on LaNiO3 (LNO)/SiO2/Si substrates by magnetron sputtering, and the LNO thin film was deposited as a bottom electrode and a buffer layer. The bipolar resistive switching (RS) behaviors have been observed in the Al/BTO/LNO devices, and the effect of illumination conditions on the RS behavior was investigated. The set voltage was effectively reduced by the photogenerated carrier, and a greatly improved OFF/ON resistance ratio of ∼120 was achieved under high light conditions. The Al/BTO/LNO devices showed good endurance and retention performance. The conduction mechanisms of the Al/BTO/LNO devices have been discussed based on the migration of defects and photogenerated carriers. These results facilitated a deeper study of BTO‐based multifunctional storage devices and demonstrated the tunable photoresponse characteristic.

ABSTRACTBackgroundParents of children with moderate to profound intellectual disabilities play a crucial role in providing direct care but often demonstrate heightened parental stress and reduced quality of life. This review explores perceived quality of life from the experiences of parents when caring for young and adult children.MethodA qualitative systematic review following Joanna Briggs Institute meta‐aggregation approach has been completed and reported according to PRISMA guidelines.FindingsSeventeen qualitative studies were included. Three synthesised findings were identified: ‘Challenges and rewards of being a parent carer’, ‘The real cost of caregiver burden’ and ‘Surrendering self for duty – the mothers role’.ConclusionParents of children with moderate to profound intellectual disabilities reported diminished quality of life for themselves and their families, experiencing increased physical and mental health issues associated with caregiving burdens. Future research is needed that determine what effective support systems and interventions are needed to alleviate parental caregiver burden.
Assessing Theoretical Considerations of Effects Within a Behavioural Obesity Treatment in Women: Implications for Medical Professional Referral
Authors: Annesi James J. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTRationaleObesity is an increasing medical issue not responding well to behavioural treatments beyond their initial weeks/months.Aims and ObjectivesBefore suggesting surgical or pharmacological interventions, medical professionals might consider referrals to cost‐effective, community‐based behavioural treatments if stronger theoretical/empirical bases were demonstrated. Thus, evaluation of such is warranted.MethodWomen with obesity were randomly assigned to 6‐month treatments emphasizing either behavioural theory‐based methods focused on exercise‐associated psychological changes generalizing to dietary changes (n = 101), or typical instruction in weight‐control methods (n = 53). Theory‐driven psychosocial, behavioural and weight changes were assessed over 12 months.ResultsImprovements in all measured variables were significantly greater in the behavioural theory group. In the evaluation of hypothesized theory‐based relationships–which have overarching bases in social cognitive theory–(1) self‐efficacy theory was supported by self‐regulation‐associated increases in self‐efficacy predicting later positive changes in exercise and the diet; (2) coaction theory was reinforced by the identified transfer of changes in self‐regulation of exercise to self‐regulation of eating; (3) the mood‐behaviour model was sustained by improved mood predicting exercise and dietary improvements through (mediated by) self‐regulation changes; (4) self‐regulation theory was bolstered through early improvements in self‐regulation supporting its longer‐term increase, especially under conditions of self‐regulatory skills practice and (5) operant conditioning theory was supported through results indicating a reinforcing effect from exercise‐associated mood improvement to reduced emotional eating. Across the theories, relationships among tested variables were generally stronger in the behavioural theory group. Improvements in exercise and dietary behaviours were significant independent predictors of reduced weight.ConclusionFindings support the addressed behavioural theories within a community‐based obesity treatment model that emphasized exercise for its psychosocial impacts on dietary behaviours and sustained weight loss. Based on the present empirical supports, medical professionals should consider referral to such approaches before (or in combination with) surgical or pharmacological methods.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimQualitative diagnosis of ulcerative colitis–associated neoplasia (UCAN) is crucial for surveillance colonoscopy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the utility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow‐band imaging (ME‐NBI) in sporadic neoplasia diagnosis has been reported, its efficacy in UCAN remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of ME‐NBI for qualitative diagnosis of UCAN.MethodsWe generated 60 ME‐NBI images (30 UCANs and 30 nonneoplasia lesions, including 10 polypoid and 20 nonpolypoid lesions) from patients with UC who underwent colonoscopy at our hospital between 2015 and 2023. Eleven endoscopists (seven experts and four trainees) independently assessed these images. Lesions were categorized into high‐ (≥ 80%), moderate‐ (50%–79%), and low‐ (< 50%) accuracy groups on the basis of the correct diagnostic rate.ResultsOverall sensitivity, specificity, and correct diagnostic rates were 66.5%, 79.0%, and 71.8%, respectively. Experts tended to exhibit higher specificity than trainees (83% vs. 70%). Polypoid lesions showed higher sensitivity (92% vs. 54%) and lower specificity (61% vs. 88%) than nonpolypoid lesions. Overall, the kappa value was 0.411. In UCAN, 37%, 37%, and 24% were classified into the high‐, moderate‐, and low‐accuracy groups, respectively. All endoscopists assessed one case of UCAN in the low‐accuracy group as a nonneoplastic vessel with a surface pattern. Only two nonneoplasias were identified as having nonneoplastic vessel and surface patterns by all endoscopists.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the usefulness of ME‐NBI for qualitative diagnosis, along with its limitations. A unique endoscopic diagnostic algorithm for UCAN, incorporating ME‐NBI and other modalities, is necessary.
