Published: January 2025

AbstractThe current paper reports the model organization, level of health care, and type of medical and research activities related to the existing heart failure centers of the Italian Society of Cardiology. Of note, we conduced an internal survey among the members of heart failure working group and related hospital and territorial sites about the quality of care and assistance levels according to the local hospital resources and type of diagnostic therapeutic and management resources. Thirty-two hospital ambulatorial structures have been identified, the centers were equally distributed within the national ground, with similar concentration between north and south regions of the Italian country. We distinguished three different levels of organization: (1) basal territorial clinics in which patients with suspected or already diagnosed heart failure (HF) are initially identified and screened; (2) intermediate clinics in which HF patients can be routinary followed by HF specialists supported by a dedicated staff including imaging and arrythmologist experts, and interventional cardiologist; (3) advanced clinics composed by all the technical and staff resources capable of guarantying repetitive invasive assessment, continuous invasive monitoring, dedicated telemedicine structures focused on more advanced HF management integrated by heart transplantation or mechanical assistance programs. Different type of assistance is supported by a relevant number of research activity primarily conducted by the Italian Society of Cardiology or spontaneous studies arranged by HF specialist members. The number of HF centers has increased over the past few decades in proportion to the progressive rise in HF diagnoses and associated hospitalization. The expansion of ambulatory structures has been facilitated by an increasing socioeconomic and research influence. The quality of HF services in Italy could be raised by improving the network and connections between HF specialists, general practitioners (GPs), caregivers, and other specialists frequently working in this field.

Authors: Sainsbury Willow J. , Whitehouse Andrew J. O. , Woods Lisa , Jiang Terence , Waddington Hannah 
Published: January 2025

AbstractPurpose: Autistic children have an increased likelihood of anxiety, but more research is needed on the characteristics that predict various types of anxiety in this population. Methods: In this study, we examined a range of child and family predictors of various types of anxiety using a sample of 452 autistic children from the Australian Autism Biobank. We used logistic regression to examine child and family predictors of four common types of anxiety in autistic children: generalised, phobic, separation, and social anxiety. Results: We found that 62.8% of children in this sample had symptoms of at least one type of anxiety. Poor quality sleep habits were the only predictive factor consistently identified across all anxiety symptom types. Specific to children with indicated generalised, separation, and phobic anxiety symptoms were the predictive factors of being older than five years, and specific to generalised and social anxiety were the predictive factors of higher cognitive abilities. Maternal anxiety was also a predictive factor in indicated children’s separation anxiety. Conclusion: These findings can help inform the provision of more targeted support for autistic people, particularly the interaction of poor sleep habits and anxiety symptoms.

Abstract
Electrically conductive textiles have revolutionized wearable electronics, integrating them to create interactive and intelligent clothing. Graphene is an ideal candidate for increasing the electrical properties of textiles owing to its mechanical flexibility and high electrical conductivity. In this work, electrically conductive cotton fabrics were prepared through the dip-dry technique using a solution containing graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The sheet resistance of seven times coated cotton fabrics was ~ 1.9 (kΩ/sq), which showed their sensing capabilities. In addition, the flexibility and durability of the coated cotton fabrics were evaluated to certify their suitability for wearable applications using a cyclic test up to around 2300. Prepared conductive cotton fabrics were tested in four main body joints with different angles (45°, 90° and 120°), i.e. wrist, elbow, knee, and finger. The coated fabrics can detect mechanical actions such as bending/unbending, and stretching/relaxation as skin-mounted strain sensors.

AbstractIn this study, a Zn-doped iron oxide layer was deposited onto a microscope slide using the magnetron co-sputtering technique with direct current (DC) and radio frequency (RF) sources. We comprehensively characterized the resulting Zn-doped Fe2O3 thin layer, employing techniques such as XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV–VIS spectrophotometry, SEM, EDX, & AFM. XRD examination showed the nanocrystalline structure in the thin layer under investigation. Based on recorded absorption data, the band gap energy value calculation resulted in a value of 2.23 eV for the thin film. Raman spectroscopy identified peaks possessing Raman shifts from 100 to 1400 cm−1. SEM investigation illustrated a consistently uniform thin film surface characteristic throughout the substrate. Additionally, the AFM study disclosed a small RMS roughness value, indicative of an unrough surface for the Zn: Fe2O3 thin layer. The Fe2O3 thin film doped with Zn employing a 30 W DC voltage demonstrated effective hydrogen sensing capability at 300 °C, achieving notable response and recovery time. This work presents a novel application of Zn-doped Fe2O3 thin films as highly sensitive and stable hydrogen sensors, tailored for high-temperature environments. The unique combination of nanocrystalline structure and Zn doping optimizes the material’s electronic properties, enhancing its responsiveness to hydrogen gas. This approach offers a scalable, cost-effective pathway for developing advanced sensor technologies suited to environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and hazardous gas detection, making it a valuable addition to the field of gas-sensing materials.
Enhanced crop diversity but not smaller field size benefit bats in agricultural landscapes
Authors: Hiller Thomas , Gall Friederike , Grass Ingo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Context
Farmland biodiversity continues to decline due to the expansion and intensification of agriculture. Historically, efforts to conserve farmland biodiversity have focused on conserving habitats outside agricultural production areas. More recently, attention has turned to the conservation potential of the cropland matrix, where reducing field size and increasing crop diversity to promote crop heterogeneity can significantly benefit farmland biodiversity. Bats are one group of farmland species that have experienced dramatic declines over recent decades.

Objectives
Here we investigated the effects of crop heterogeneity (crop diversity, field size) and landscape structural elements (e.g. length of linear structures, distance to forest, proportion of semi-natural habitat) on the activity of bat functional groups.

Results
Increasing crop diversity led to greater bat activity, especially for open space foraging bats. However, contrary expectations, bat activity was not affected by heterogeneity in crop configuration, i.e. field edge density. Furthermore, structural landscape elements, including hedgerows and distance to forest, were important predictors of bat activity, especially for species that hunt in highly cluttered spaces. While crop diversity clearly benefited bat activity, the lack of effect of crop configurational heterogeneity on bat foraging activity may suggest heterogeneityarea trade-offs and intensive pesticide use in small-scale vegetable production.

Conclusions
Therefore, in addition to maintaining high levels of crop diversity, promoting hedgerows and tree lines between farmland and woodland may facilitate bat activity across the agricultural landscape matrix. The combination of high crop heterogeneity and structural elements provides favorable hunting grounds for bats and may promote their conservation in agricultural landscapes.

Abstract
In the healthcare landscape, diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS have benefited from the patient's perspective. For fungal diseases, the patient voice remains absent in critical areas such as policy formulation, funding decisions, and research priorities. Patients affected by fungal disease, along with their caregivers and advocacy groups, possess invaluable insights into the challenges and unmet needs they face. By elevating their voices and experiences, policymakers, funding agencies, and researchers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of fungal disease and the urgency of addressing them. This paper addresses the pressing need for a coordinated effort to elevate the patient voice in advocating for improved policies, increased funding, and enhanced research initiatives regarding fungal disease.

Abstract
It is difficult for consumers to access the evidence base for prevention programs to determine which models or practices have the strongest empirical support for improving youth social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) outcomes within their specific service contexts. Researchers can address this evidence-to-practice gap through innovations in research synthesis. The Distillation and Matching Model (Chorpita et al., 2005), an approach to research synthesis developed for the mental health field, is designed to identify what works for whom and under what conditions via three steps. In this paper, we describe the Distillation and Matching Model and suggest that applying this approach to the prevention literature for youth SEB problems may help bridge the evidence-to-practice gap. The first step, distillation, involves identifying “practice elements,” defined as the goal or general principle guiding a discrete practice (e.g., praise) targeting a specific domain of SEB outcomes. This step produces a standard set of terms for the individual practices used across the literature that are studied in isolation and comprise comprehensive intervention models. The second step involves identifying “common elements,” or the practice elements found in studies that meet standards of methodological rigor and report significant improvements in youth SEB outcomes. The third step, “matching,” is a method for matching common element profiles (combinations of common elements) to intervention and personal characteristics to identify what combinations of common elements work for whom and under what conditions. The Distillation and Matching Model can provide a method for researchers to generate actionable information about common elements that can be used to develop and evaluate tailored interventions.
Anticipating Solar Flares
Authors: Hudson Hugh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Solar flares commonly have a “hot onset precursor event” (HOPE), detectable from soft X-ray observations. To detect this requires subtraction of pre-flare fluxes from the non-flaring Sun prior to the event, fitting an isothermal emission model to the flare excess fluxes by comparing the GOES passbands at 1 – 8 Å and 0.5 – 4 Å, and plotting the timewise evolution of the flare emission in a diagram of temperature vs. emission measure. The HOPE then appears as an initial “horizontal branch” in this diagram. It precedes the nonthermal impulsive phase of the flare and thus the flare peak in soft X-rays as well. We use this property to define a “flare anticipation index” (FAI), which can serve as an alert for observational programs aimed at solar flares based on near-real-time soft X-ray observations. This FAI gives lead times of a few minutes and produces very few false positive alerts, even for flare brightenings that are too weak to merit NOAA classification.
Development of a Multi-objective Optimal Operation Model of a Dam using Meteorological Ensemble Forecasts for Flood Control

Published: January 2025

AbstractReservoir operation in flood conditions on hourly time scales poses significant difficulties due to the inherent uncertainty of inflow forecasts. Hence, incorporating ensemble flood forecasts into real-time reservoir operation optimization has rarely been investigated to effectively address uncertainties in inflow forecasts for flood control, let alone its added value compared to no-forecast operating scheme in multi-objective reservoir operating system. This research first investigates the potential of sequential Long Short-Term Memory networks to forecast one-day-ahead ensemble inflow floods based on numerical weather prediction data. Next, a new framework has been developed to incorporate ensemble inflow forecasts into multi-objective reservoir operation optimization using grid search-based genetic algorithm. Finally, we implemented our proposed ensemble-based operating method on the Dez dam basin in Iran and compared it with the benchmark no-forecast operating approach. The results revealed that the Long Short-Term Memory model reasonably performed well to propagate uncertainty in short-term ensemble inflow forecasts. In addition, the ensemble-based operating method could reduce release peaks and increase reservoir storage more than that of a deterministic (no-forecast) operating approach. Our findings demonstrated that the applicability of a skillful ensemble-based scheme in reservoir flood control operations could be effective in decreasing flood damage and water shortage.
Foreign Language Use, Virtuality, and the Creative Performance of Dyadic Teams

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Firms rely on their employees’ creativity to drive innovation and secure competitive advantages. In the modern workplace, team members often collaborate in a non-native language and interact virtually rather than face-to-face. Yet, the effects of foreign language use and virtuality on the creative performance of teams have not been fully explored. The present study addresses this issue using an experiment with 95 dyadic teams, which we randomly assigned to either a foreign or a native language condition. In line with our theoretical reasoning, we find that foreign language use is detrimental for team creative performance, an effect that can be alleviated by team members’ foreign language proficiency. We further observe that, at least in the foreign language condition, interacting virtually rather than face-to-face can stimulate team creative performance. Virtuality may thus help alleviate some globalization-induced challenges to nurturing creative performance.
When East Meets West in Building Organisational Resilience: An Exploratory Study Among Bangladeshi Exporters

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This longitudinal qualitative study examines how globally operating readymade garment exporters from Bangladesh build organisational resilience in order to cope in the turbulent business environment. We found that at the time of crisis, such as the one caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the studied exporters lacked robustness, and were not prepared for unexpected external shocks. However, the companies built resilience by adaptation to the situation as well as possible. Their ability to build resilience was found to be partly rooted in the local culture. At the time of crisis, the companies combined jugaad—a regional cultural practice—with a Western mindset and management tools. In this study, this unique combination of regional and Western practices is labelled as jugalbandi. Interestingly, organisational resilience which is achieved in this way seems to be temporary: the exporters discarded the locally-embedded practices when the situation stabilised. Our study challenges the mainstream views on organisational resilience espoused in earlier research, and develops a context-sensitive, culture-embedded framework of resilience building.
Diagnostic challenge: pancreatic cancer masked by peripancreatic fluid collection after acute pancreatitis

Published: January 2025

AbstractPancreatic cancer (PC) manifests as a highly aggressive neoplastic growth, ranking as the fourth major contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States. Despite sustained efforts, the incidence of PC is projected to rise, and the mortality rate has seen only a marginal reduction over time. A mere 15% of pancreatic cancer cases are deemed resectable upon presentation, explaining the notably low 5-year survival rate associated with this malignancy. Acute pancreatitis (AP) encompasses various degrees of inflammation in the pancreas, leading to diverse outcomes. While commonly associated with gallstone and alcohol use, it can serve as the initial presentation of PC in approximately 1% of cases. Our case series highlights two patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (PC) following an episode of acute pancreatitis (AP). It is not uncommon for PC to be preceded by AP, with up to 5.9% of PC cases in the United States presenting similarly.
Polyacrylamide-based nanocomposite hydrogel prepared by synergistic solar light-induced polymerization
Authors: Aguilar Nery M. , Sanchez-Gaytan Brenda L. , Soriano-Moro Guillermo 
Published: January 2025

AbstractA straightforward approach to prepare a nanocomposite hybrid hydrogel through simultaneous processes of nanoparticle formation, polymerization and crosslinking processes induced by sunlight is reported. This method requires just the gold precursor and acrylamide monomers to form a hydrogel network without the need of any initiator or crosslinking agent. The synthesis is based on a synergistic approach where the acrylamide monomer (AM) acts as a reducing agent and capping ligand to obtain gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), while the presence of these nanostructures induce both the polymerization and the crosslinking process.

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a notion of multiplicative unimodularity for a coisotropic Poisson homogeneous space. Then, we discuss the unimodularity and the multiplicative unimodularity for these spaces and the existence of an invariant volume form for explicit Hamiltonian systems on such spaces. Several interesting examples illustrating the theoretical results are also presented.

Abstract
Background
This study aims to delineate the global, regional, and national burden of malignant neoplasms of bone and articular cartilage (MNBAC) among individuals aged 65 years and older from 1990 to 2021, stratified by age, sex, and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Methods
We harnessed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to evaluate the prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with MNBAC among individuals aged 65 years and older across 204 countries and territories between 1990 and 2021. The socio-demographic Index (SDI) served as a metric to examine the influence of socioeconomic development on the burden of MNBAC. Furthermore, joinpoint regression analysis was employed to identify the years marked by the most significant temporal changes over the study period.

Results
In 2021, an estimated 163,561 prevalent cases of MNBAC were recorded among individuals aged ≥ 65 years, alongside 28,100 newly diagnosed cases, 27,588 deaths, and 508,202 DALYs. The age-standardized rates per 100,000 population were 21.30 for prevalence, 3.69 for incidence, 3.66 for mortality, and 65.85 for DALYs. Notably, Cuba reported the highest prevalence rate (42.42), while the Philippines exhibited the greatest DALY burden (161.78). Egypt demonstrated the highest incidence (7.44) and mortality rates (8.90). A significant inverse correlation was observed between age-standardized DALY rates and SDI across regions.

Conclusions
This analysis underscores the substantial global burden of MNBAC among older adults, accentuating the imperative for tailored public health interventions, alongside advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, particularly within resource-constrained settings.
The Performance-based IISCA Can Inform Effective and Socially Meaningful Skill-based Treatment

Published: January 2025

AbstractJessel et al. (Behavior Analysis in Practice, 17, 727–745, 2024) demonstrated that results from the performance-based, interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA) had strong correspondence when compared to typical IISCA procedures and produced positive outcomes with resultant functional communication training procedures. On the basis of the assumption that functional analyses may include potentially adverse events insofar as they deliberately and repeatedly arrange conditions suspected to evoke dangerous behavior, Jessel and colleagues argued in favor of aligning functional analysis procedures with guidelines of trauma-informed care. We replicated and extended Jessel et al. (Behavior Analysis in Practice, 17, 727–745, 2024) by conducting a performance-based IISCA with three children with autism referred for behavioral services due to dangerous behavior and by evaluating a comprehensive skill-based treatment informed by the performance-based IISCA. The skill-based treatment resulted in the eventual elimination of dangerous behavior and the acquisition of multiple important skills, with caregivers implementing treatment sessions for two of the three participants. Assessment and intervention procedures and outcomes were socially validated by all participating families.
