AbstractIn these two books, the authors give solutions to disparities they trace to systemic racism. The De La Torre book especially examines how the Trump presidency solidified white Christianity. He argues that white Christians deify Trump and are therefore rejected by God. In the Edmondson and Brennan book, we are told that material disparities between races can only be explained by systemic racism. The authors then explain what we must do to repent of and overcome systemic racism. Both books are built on assumptions traceable to Marx and Nietzsche, neither gives us a robust augment against the best alternative explanations, and their use of the Bible only superficially treats categories like ‘believer/unbeliever’.
How did China's zero Covid policy affect its exports?
Authors: Tang Heiwai , Zheng Xiuxiu 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper examines the impact of China's “Zero‐Covid” policy on subnational cross‐region export performance during 2019–2021. Using monthly export data at the product‐destination level for China's 31 provinces and municipality cities, we find that new infections in a region have a significantly negative effect on the region's export growth, particularly for non‐processing exports and industries with low dependence on remote working and products that are more substitutable and used mostly in the downstream of supply chains. However, restrictions on people inflows have no significant effect. The severity of the pandemic in export destinations is negatively correlated with China's export growth, suggesting an important demand‐side reason for China's export downturn during the pandemic.
When safe firearm storage isn't enough: Examining risk profiles among firearm suicide decedents
Authors: Houtsma Claire , Raines Amanda M. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionSuicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, and firearms are the most frequently used suicide method. Research suggests risk for firearm suicide increases with greater access to firearms (e.g., storing loaded or unlocked). Although safe firearm storage is promoted as a means of risk reduction, no studies have explored factors differentiating firearm suicide decedents who stored firearms safely vs. those who stored unsafely prior to death.MethodsUtilizing data from the National Violent Death Reporting System, the current study aimed to determine which factors distinguish firearm suicide decedents who stored firearms safely vs. those who stored unsafely. The current sample included decedents for whom data were available on whether the firearm used in the suicide was stored loaded or unloaded (n = 4269) and unlocked or locked (n = 6273) prior to their death.ResultsResults revealed using a long gun in the suicide (as opposed to a handgun) was associated with five times greater odds of storing unloaded prior to death, suggesting this safe firearm storage practice alone does not mitigate risk among all long gun owners.ConclusionThese findings indicate a need to increase suicide prevention efforts within the long gun owning community.
Static Wetting of a Liquid Droplet on a Soft Elastic Substrate
Authors: Wu J. , Ru C.Q. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
A refined spherical cap model, combined with an elastic foundation model for the elastic substrate, is proposed to study the static wetting of a liquid droplet on a soft elastic substrate. The strain energy of the substrate is evaluated by the Johnson–Kendall–Roberts (JKR) model, and the increase of the surface energy of the substrate outside the contact zone is calculated based on the elastic foundation model. The total potential energy of the droplet-substrate system is given in terms of four geometrical parameters: the contact radius, the contact angle of the droplet, the deflection angle inside the contact zone, and the maximum downward displacement of the substrate surface at the contact zone center. The equilibrium state is determined based on the stationary condition of total potential energy. The present model reduces to the Young’s equation for a rigid substrate and to the Neumann’s triangle for a liquid-like substrate. Three equations are given to determine the liquid droplet shape in terms of surface energies and substrate’s elastic modulus. Reasonable agreement with existing experimental data and simulation results shows that the present model with derived formulas has the potential to catch the role of substrate’s elastic deformation on static wetting and fill the gap between the Young’s equation and the Neumann’s triangle for a soft elastic substrate.
Characterizing the Adhesion Between Thin Films and Rigid Substrates Using Digital Image Correlation-Informed Inverse Finite Elements and the Blister Test

Abstract
Characterizing the adhesion between thin films and rigid substrates is crucial in engineering applications. Still, existing standard methods suffer from issues such as poor reproducibility, difficulties in quantifying adhesion parameters, or overestimation of adhesion strength and fracture energy. Recent studies have shown that the blister test (BT) is a superior method for characterizing adhesion, as it provides a quantifiable measurement of mix-mode fracture energy, and it is highly reproducible. In this paper, we present a novel method to characterize mechanical mix-mode adhesion between thin films and rigid substrates using the BT. Our method combines the full triaxial displacement field obtained through digital image correlation with inverse finite element method simulations using cohesive zone elements. This approach eliminates the need for making any mechanistic or kinematic assumptions of the blister formation and allows the characterization of the full traction-separation law governing the adhesion between the film and the substrate. To demonstrate the efficacy of this methodology, we conducted a case study analyzing the adhesion mechanics of a polymeric pressure-sensitive adhesive on an aluminum substrate. Our results indicate that the proposed technique is a reliable and effective method for characterizing the mix-mode traction-separation law governing the mechanical behavior of the adhesive interface and could have broad applications in the field of materials science and engineering. Also, by providing a comprehensive understanding of the adhesion mechanics between thin films and rigid substrates, our method can aid in the design and optimization of adhesively bonded structures.
Exact Solutions of Systems of Nonlinear Time-Space Fractional Partial Differential Equations Using an Iterative Method
Authors: Kumar Manoj 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Fractional partial differential equations are useful tools to describe transportation, anomalous, and non-Brownian diffusion. In the present paper, we propose the Daftardar-Gejji and Jafari method along with its error analysis for solving systems of nonlinear time–space fractional partial differential equations (PDEs). Moreover, we solve a variety of nontrivial time–space fractional systems of PDEs. The obtained solutions either occur in exact form or in the form of a series, which converges to a closed form. The proposed method is free from linearization and discretization and does not include any tedious calculations. Moreover, it is easily employable using the computer algebra system such as Mathematica, Maple, etc.
Numerical Prediction of the Streamwise Fluidelastic Instability

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Recent experimental investigations have shown that tube arrays can become unstable in the streamwise direction. This is contrary to the long-held notion that fluidelastic instability is only a concern in the direction transverse to the flow. The possibility of the streamwise fluidelastic instability (SFEI) as a potential threat to the integrity of tube bundles was confirmed by the recent failures of newly installed replacement steam generators. A number of investigations were conducted to uncover the nature of this mechanism. A theoretical framework was developed by Hassan and Weaver (2016, “Modeling of Streamwise and Transverse Fluidelastic Instability in Tube Arrays,” ASME J. Pressure Vessel Technol., 138(5), p. 051304) to model streamwise fluidelastic instability in a bundle of flexible tubes. The model utilized a simple time lag expression for the flow channel area perturbation. The current work aims at developing a numerical model to precisely predict the flow perturbation characteristics in a tube bundle due to streamwise tube motion. Flow simulations were carried out for single phase fluid flow in a parallel triangle tube bundle array with 1.2, 1.5, and 1.7 pitch to diameter ratios. The numerical model was validated against numerical and experimental results available in the fluidelastic instability literature. Simulations were carried out for a range of reduced flow velocities. The model results showed that the upstream flow perturbation magnitude and phase are different from those obtained downstream of the moving tube. The obtained flow perturbation characteristics were implemented in the Hassan and Weaver (2016, “Modeling of Streamwise and Transverse Fluidelastic Instability in Tube Arrays,” ASME J. Pressure Vessel Technol., 138(5), p. 051304) model and the streamwise FEI threshold was predicted.

IntroductionMothers of children with intellectual disability (ID) are often distressed because of intensive workloads and difficulties in communicating with their children. Given the interdependence between the psychosocial well-being of such dyads, interventions that promote parent–child relationships and mutual communication would be beneficial. Arts provide alternative avenues for expression and offer an imaginative and playful environment for discovering new communication strategies. Given the lack of studies on arts-based dyadic interventions, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of dyadic expressive arts-based intervention (EXAT) in improving the psychosocial outcomes of children with ID and their mothers and the mother–child relationships.Methods and analysisThis study will adopt a mixed-methods randomised controlled trial design, wherein 154 dyads of children with ID and their mothers will be randomised into either the dyadic EXAT group or the treatment-as-usual waitlist control group. Quantitative data will be collected at four time points: baseline (T0), postintervention (T1), 3-month postintervention (T2) and 6-month postintervention (T3). Qualitative data will be collected from a subset of 30 mothers in the intervention group at T1and T3to document their experiences and perceived changes after the intervention. Mixed-effects models and path analysis will be adopted to analyse the quantitative data, whereas thematic analysis will be applied to the qualitative data. Both sets of data will be triangulated for an integrated view of the effectiveness and mechanism of the intervention.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Hong Kong (Ref. no.: EA200329). Written consent forms will be obtained from all recruited participants (mothers, children with ID and teachers/social workers) before data collection. The study findings will be disseminated in international conferences and peer-reviewed academic journals.Trial registration numberNCT05214859.

IntroductionNurses frequently place a peripheral venous catheter during children’s hospitalisation. Many studies suggest treatment of venipuncture-related pain. The administration of an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (EMONO) is employed for pain control; however, no studies have analysed the association between EMONO and audiovisuals.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of EMONO administration when combined with audiovisuals (EMONO+Audiovisual) versus EMONO alone on perceived pain, side effects and level of cooperation during peripheral venous access placement in children aged 2–5 years.Methods and analysisThe first 120 eligible children admitted to the paediatric ward of the Lodi Hospital and presenting the indication for peripheral venous access will be enrolled. Sixty children will be randomly assigned to the experimental group (EMONO+Audiovisual) and 60 to the control group (EMONO alone).The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale will be used to assess pain in the children aged 2-years old; pain in the children aged 3–5 years will be assessed using the Wong-Baker scale. The cooperation throughout the procedure will be measured using the Groningen Distress Rating Scale.Ethics and disseminationThe Milan Area 1 Ethics Committee approved the study protocol (Experiment Registry No. 2020/ST/295). The trial results will be presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT05435118.

IntroductionMigraine is a leading cause of disability and suffering worldwide. However, conventional pharmacological migraine preventive therapies are often challenging and accompanied by adverse effects. Recently, structured odour exposure has shown to successfully increase pain thresholds in patients with chronic back pain. Despite the importance of the olfactory system in migraine, there are no studies investigating the impact of structured odour exposure in patients with migraine.Methods and analysisThis double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial will be conducted at the Headache Clinic of the University Pain Center at TU Dresden, Germany and aims at investigating the impact of a 12-week structured exposure to odours in women with migraine. Fifty-four women between 18 and 55 years with migraine with aura will be recruited and randomised to training with odours and odourless training. The primary outcomes are mechanical and electrical pain thresholds. Secondary outcomes comprise olfactory threshold and the number of headache days. Other exploratory measurements are headache associated pain intensity, acute analgesic intake, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and quality of life. Additionally, this protocol assesses neuroanatomical and neurofunctional changes associated with the 12-week olfactory training. Data analysis will be executed on the basis of the general linear model considering repeated measurements.Ethics and disseminationEthical approvals were obtained from the Ethics Board of the TU Dresden (Protocol No. BO-EK-353082020). Participation will only be possible after written informed consent is provided. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.Trial registration numberDRKS00027399.

Published: July 2023

IntroductionObservational studies have linked slower and faster net ultrafiltration (UFNET) rates during kidney replacement therapy (KRT) with mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. To inform the design of a larger randomised trial of patient-centered outcomes, we conduct a feasibility study to examine restrictive and liberal approaches to UFNETduring continuous KRT (CKRT).Methods and analysisThis study is an investigator-initiated, unblinded, 2-arm, comparative-effectiveness, stepped-wedged, cluster randomised trial among 112 critically ill patients with AKI treated with CKRT in 10 intensive care units (ICUs) across 2 hospital systems. In the first 6 months, all ICUs started with a liberal UFNETrate strategy. Thereafter, one ICU is randomised to the restrictive UFNETrate strategy every 2 months. In the liberal group, the UFNETrate is maintained between 2.0 and 5.0 mL/kg/hour; in the restrictive group, the UFNETrate is maintained between 0.5 and 1.5 mL/kg/hour. The three coprimary feasibility outcomes are (1) between-group separation in mean delivered UFNETrates; (2) protocol adherence; and (3) patient recruitment rate. Secondary outcomes include daily and cumulative fluid balance, KRT and mechanical ventilation duration, organ failure-free days, ICU and hospital length of stay, hospital mortality and KRT dependence at hospital discharge. Safety endpoints include haemodynamics, electrolyte imbalance, CKRT circuit issues, organ dysfunction related to fluid overload, secondary infections and thrombotic and haematological complications.Ethics and disseminationThe University of Pittsburgh Human Research Protection Office approved the study, and an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board monitors the study. A grant from the United States National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases sponsors the study. The trial results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences.Trial registration numberThis trial has been prospectively registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05306964).

Patient aggression towards receptionists in general practice: a systematic review
Authors: Willer Fiona , Chua David , Ball Lauren 
Published: July 2023

ObjectiveGeneral practice receptionists provide an essential function in the healthcare system but routinely encounter acts of incivility and aggression from patients, including hostility, abuse and violence. This study was conducted to summarise what is known about patient-initiated aggression towards general practice receptionists, including impacts on reception staff and existing mitigation strategies.DesignSystematic review with convergent integrated synthesis.Eligibility criteriaStudies published at any time in English that examine patient aggression experiences of reception staff in primary care settings.Information sourcesSearches of five major databases were performed (CINAHL Complete, Scopus, PubMed, Healthcare Administration Database and Google Scholar) to August 2022.ResultsTwenty studies of various designs were included, ranging from the late 1970s to 2022 and originating from five OECD countries. Twelve were assessed as high quality using a validated checklist. Reviewed articles represented 4107 participants; 21.5% were general practice receptionists. All studies reported that displays of aggression towards receptionists by patients were a frequent and routine occurrence in general practice, particularly verbal abuse such as shouting, cursing, accusations of malicious behaviour and use of racist, ablest and sexist insults. Although infrequent, physical violence was widely reported. Inefficient appointment scheduling systems, delayed access to doctors and prescription denial appeared common precipitators. Receptionists adapted their behaviour and demeanour to placate and please patients to avoid escalation of patient frustrations at the cost of their own well-being and clinic productivity. Training in patient aggression management increased receptionist confidence and appeared to decrease negative sequalae. Coordinated support for general practice reception staff who had experienced patient aggression was generally lacking, with a small proportion receiving professional counselling.ConclusionsPatient aggression towards reception staff is a serious workplace safety concern for general practices and negatively affects healthcare sector function more broadly. Receptionists in general practice deserve evidence-based measures to improve their working conditions and well-being for their own benefit and that of the community.RegistrationPre-registered in Open Science Framework (osf.io/42p85).
Novel implantation technique for pudendal nerve peripheral nerve stimulation for treatment of chronic pelvic pain
Authors: Lam Christopher M , Keim Sarah A , Latif Usman 
Published: July 2023

BackgroundChronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a pervasive, difficult to treat condition affecting up to 26% of the global female and 8.2% of the global male population. Considered a form of chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS), it is medically complex and often refractory to multimodal management. Neuromodulation has become increasingly popular in treatment of chronic neuropathic pain conditions, including CPP and CRPS. Dorsal column spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation have had some success for managing CPP meanwhile peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) have been suggested as another viable option. However, few studies in the literature have reported successful use of PNS in treatment of CPP. Here, we detail a possible technique for pudendal PNS lead placement for management of CPP.MethodThis article describes a novel cephalad to caudad fluoroscopic guided technique for pudendal nerve PNS lead placement and implantation.ResultsA cephalad to caudal-medial fluoroscopic guided approach as described within to successfully implant a percutaneous pudendal nerve PNS for management of CPP.ConclusionsThe pudendal nerve PNS lead placement technique noted within can be used to avoid many of the important neurovascular structures near the pelvic outlet. Further studies are needed to validate the safety and efficacy of this therapy modality but it may be a viable management option for patients with medically refractory CPP.
