Published: May 2023

AbstractThe supply of water, food, and energy in our global economy is highly interlinked. Virtual blue water embedded into internationally traded food crops has therefore been extensively researched in recent years. This study focuses on the often neglected energy needed to supply this blue irrigation water. It provides a globally applicable and spatially explicit approach to the watershed level for water source specific quantification of energy consumption and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of irrigation water supply. The approach is applied to Israel's total domestic and imported food crop supply of 105 crops by additionally including import‐related transportation energy and emissions. Total energy use and related emissions of domestic crop production were much lower (551 GWh/422 kt CO2‐equivalents [CO2e]) than those embedded into crop imports (1639 GWh/649 kt CO2e). Domestic energy and emissions were mainly attributable to the irrigation water supply with artificial water sources (treated domestic wastewater and desalinated water, 84%). Transport accounted for 79% and 66% of virtually imported energy and emissions, respectively. Despite transport, specific GHG emissions (CO2e per ton of crop) were significantly lower for several crops (e.g., olives, almonds, chickpeas) compared to domestic production. This could be attributed to the high share of energy‐intensive artificial water supply in combination with higher irrigation water demands in Israel. In the course of an increasing demand for artificial water supply in arid and semi‐arid regions, our findings point to the importance of including “energy for water” into comparative environmental assessment of crop supply to support decision‐making related to the water–energy–food nexus.
A framework to open the black box of the use phase in circular economy life cycle assessments: The case of shell jacket reuse
Authors: André Hampus , Björklund Anna 
Published: May 2023

AbstractLife cycle assessments of circular economy measures (CE LCA) of consumer products have been criticized for oversimplifying important aspects of the use phase such as user behavior and rebound effects, limiting our understanding of the environmental performance of circular economy measures. This study tests the usefulness of a framework designed to facilitate accounting for such aspects, by applying the framework to a case study of reuse of shell jackets enabled by “premium secondhand” outdoor stores. Methods for collecting use phase data were user surveys and interviews with store managers. Using the framework on this case study generated several novel insights which are interesting in themselves and as inputs to CE LCA. For instance, secondhand shell jackets have a significantly lower frequency of use during their first use span compared to the second and to shell jackets in the linear reference scenario. This implies that reuse in this case does not function as a mere use extension of otherwise similar use phases as is commonly assumed. The generation of such insights, which hitherto have been lacking in CE LCAs, points to the usefulness of the framework as a tool for opening the “black box” of the use phase in CE LCAs to improve understanding of the environmental performance of circular economy measures.

Published: May 2023

AbstractObjectiveFractures of the mandibular condyle are the most common jaw fractures. There are several treatment approaches. There is the non‐surgical and surgical approach. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to evaluate the indications and contraindications of either method to help the clinician make the best treatment choice.MethodsPubmed, Web of Science and Lilacs were systematically searched until 20 May 2023. Clinical trials were selected to compare the two treatments for condyle fracture and evaluate indications and contraindications.ResultsOut of 2515 papers, four studies were included. The surgical approach allows faster functional recovery and decreases patient discomfort. The study analyses under what circumstances a surgical procedure is more practical than a non‐surgical one.ConclusionThere is no evidence regarding the reliability of either method. Both have superimposable results. However, age, type of occlusion and other factors direct the clinician towards a surgical choice.

AbstractBackgroundXerostomia can pose significant problems for many elderly people.ObjectivesTo investigate longitudinal changes in prevalence, persistence, progression, remission and incidence of xerostomia from age 75 to 85 years.MethodsAll 75‐year‐olds (born 1932) from two Swedish counties, Sweden were mailed a questionnaire in 2007 (N = 5195), and again in 2017 when they were aged 85 (N = 3323). The total response rates at ages 75 and 85 years were 71.9% and 60.8%, respectively. A ‘panel’, those who participated in both surveys, comprised 1701 individuals (response rate 51.2%).ResultsAt age 85, there was almost a doubling of self‐reported ‘yes often’ xerostomia compared with age 75 (from 6.2% to 11.3%) and was almost twice as common in women than men (p < .001). When combining ‘yes often’/‘yes sometimes’, xerostomia increased from 33.4% to 49.0%, and was more so among women (p < .001). Xerostomia was commoner at night than daytime, with 23.4% reporting ‘yes often’ night‐time xerostomia at 85 compared with 18.5% at 75, and was also higher in women (p < .001). Progression rates for daytime and night‐time xerostomia were 34.2% and 38.1%, for persistence 67.4% and 68.6%, and for remission 24.4% and 16.5%. Average yearly incidence was higher in women than men for both daytime (3.6% vs. 3.2%) and night‐time (3.9% vs. 3.7%). Regression analyses predicted protective factors for developing xerostomia reported at age 75 as good general and oral health, absence of medications/intraoral symptom/s, good chewing function and social interaction.ConclusionsXerostomia increases markedly from age 75 to 85 years.
Can I borrow this? Policy transfer from Chile to Paraguay in the wave of diffusion of Conditional Cash Transfer programs in Latin America
Authors: Osorio Gonnet Cecilia , Castillo Rodríguez Daniela 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article discusses the transfer process of the psychosocial support component of the Chile Solidario program to the Tekoporã program in Paraguay, which occurs within the diffusion wave of Conditional Cash Transfer programs in Latin America. Applying the process‐tracing method, we unpack the transfer mechanism in a temporal sequence of events and identify the actors involved and their motivations and capacities. The findings indicate the development of a mechanism of emulation due to the weak institutional capacities present in Paraguay's social protection system. The case study contributes to the understanding of transfer processes in the Global South and enriches the literature on the transfer and diffusion of policies in Latin America, and the link between the two processes.
Sociolinguistic prompts in the 21stcentury: Uniting past approaches and current directions
Authors: Sneller Betsy , Barnhardt Adam 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAs technology (particularly smartphone and computer technology) has advanced, sociolinguistic methodology has likewise adapted to include remote data collection. Remote methods range from approximating the traditional sociolinguistic interview via synchronous video conferencing to developing new methods for asynchronous self‐recording (Boyd et al., 2015; Leeman et al., 2020). In this paper, we take a close look at the question prompts sent to participants in an asynchronous, remote self‐recording project (“MI Diaries”). We discuss how some of the techniques initially developed for obtaining a range of styles in a traditional in‐person sociolinguistic interview can be fruitfully adapted to a remote context. Of this range of styles, we give particular focus toNarratives of Personal Experience(Labov & Waletzky, 1967), and provide an analysis of how the theme, style, and development of prompts can encourage narratives from participants. We end with a short discussion of prompts that have successfully elicited other speech styles, and prompts that are especially fruitful with child participants.
Autonomous 3D vision‐based bolt loosening assessment using micro aerial vehicles
Authors: Pan Xiao , Tavasoli Sina , Yang T. Y. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractEarlier identification of bolt loosening is crucial to maintain structural integrity and prevent system‐level collapse. In this study, a novel drone‐based 3D vision methodology has been proposed for autonomous bolt loosening assessment. First, a low‐cost micro aerial vehicle with various types of sensors is designed. Second, a drone‐based autonomous image collection method is proposed. Third, a 3D point cloud of the bolted connection is generated using the acquired images. Fourth, 3D point cloud processing methods are proposed to localize and quantify bolt loosening. The proposed method has been implemented on structural beam–column connections. The results show that the proposed drone‐based data collection method can effectively acquire images for 3D reconstruction. The 3D point cloud processing methods can reliably localize and quantify bolt loosening at high accuracy. The proposed method provides a more robust and comprehensive evaluation of bolt loosening, compared to existing 2D vision methods, which process 2D images captured at a specific camera view.

AbstractBackgroundSupply–demand mismatch in solid organ transplantation is particularly pronounced in small children. For liver transplantation, advanced surgical techniques for reducing deceased and living donor grafts allow access to life‐saving transplantation. Living donor left lateral segment liver grafts have been successfully transplanted in small children in our center since 2013, the only program providing this service in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This type of partial graft remains too large for children below 6 kg body weight and generally requires reduction.MethodsA left lateral segment graft was reduced in situ from a directed, altruistic living donor to yield a hyperreduced left lateral segment graft.ResultsThe donor was discharged after 6 days without complications. The recipient suffered no technical surgical complications except for an infected cut‐surface biloma and biliary anastomotic stricture and remains well 9 months post‐transplant.ConclusionsWe report the first known case in Africa of a hyperreduced left lateral segment, ABO incompatible, living donor liver transplant in a 4,5 kg child with pediatric acute liver failure (PALF).
Crossing pictures of ‘determination’ in Wittgenstein's remarks on rule‐following
Authors: Bold Philip 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn PI 189, Wittgenstein's interlocutor asks, ‘But are the steps then not determined by the algebraic formula?’. Wittgenstein responds, ‘The question contains a mistake’. What is the mistake contained in the interlocutor's question? Wittgenstein's elaboration is neither explicit nor its intended upshot transparent. In this paper, I offer a reading on which the interlocutor's question arises from illicitly crossing different pictures of ‘determination’. I begin by working through Wittgenstein's machine analogy in PI 193, which illustrates picture‐crossing in our ways of talking about a machine. Using the lessons from this analogy, I show how the interlocutor's ‘mistake’ can be diagnosed in similar terms: their confusion about the power of a rule to determine its applications rests on mistakenly crossing a behavioural and a mathematical sense of ‘determine’—thereby concocting a mystifying picture of rule‐following.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesPassive immunization by the infusion of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from patients who have recently recovered from COVID‐19, thus having antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, is a potential strategy to reduce the severity of illness. A high prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) in patients with COVID‐19 has been reported during the pandemic, raising a concern whether the use of CP could increase the risk of thrombosis in transfused patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of APLA in COVID‐19 CP (CCP) in order to assess the potential prothrombotic influence of transfused CCP to COVID‐19 patients.Materials and MethodsWe studied the prevalence of APLA in 122 CCP samples collected from healthy donors who recovered from mild‐COVID‐19 at two time periods: September 2020–January 2021 (defined as ‘early period’ samples) and April–May 2021 (defined as ‘late period’ samples). Thirty‐four healthy subjects unexposed to COVID‐19 were used as controls.ResultsAPLA were present in 7 of 122 (6%) CCP samples. One donor had anti‐β2‐glycoprotein 1(anti‐β2GP1) IgG, one had anti‐β2GP1 IgM and five had lupus anticoagulant (LAC) using silica clotting time (SCT), all in ‘late period’ donors. In the control group, one subject had anti‐β2GP1 IgG, two had LAC using dilute Russell viper venom time (dRVVT) and four had LAC SCT (both LAC SCT and LAC dRVVT in one subject).ConclusionThe low prevalence of APLA in CCP donors reassures the safety of CCP administration to patients with severe COVID‐19.
Experimental Investigation and Modeling of the Kerf Profile in Submerged Milling by Macro Abrasive Waterjet
Authors: Ravi Rajesh Ranjan , Deepu Kumar T. N. , Srinivasu D. S. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Toward achieving control over the kerfing through macro abrasive waterjet submerged milling, there is a need (i) to understand the influence of the water column height on the kerf quality and (ii) to develop a model for the prediction of the kerf characteristics. This study performs detailed experimentation to assess the kerf quality enhancement in submerged milling relative to the in-air milling on Al-6061 alloy. From the modeling perspective, there are very limited efforts in developing a comprehensive model that includes both the jet flow dynamics and material removal models—this is the missing link. Toward this, a comprehensive model is proposed and validated for the prediction of kerf in in-air and submerged conditions by considering (i) jet dynamics and (ii) jet–material interaction. From the experimental results, it is observed that by adopting the submerged milling, the damaged region, top kerf width and edge radius got reduced by 20.3%, 13.53%, and 22.7%, respectively. However, this enhancement in the kerf quality is associated with a reduction in the centerline erosion depth (hmax) by 12.33% and a material removal rate by 24.52%. The material removal mechanism is more uniform and directed in the submerged milling, whereas in-air is random. The proposed model predicted the kerf cross-sectional profile in submerged milling and in-air with a mean absolute error of 60 µm and 57 µm, squared Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.97 and 0.99, and the hmax with a maximum error of 1.3% and 1.4%.
In situ carbon storage potential in a buried volcano
Authors: Pereira Ricardo , Gamboa Davide 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In situ mineral carbonation in porous and permeable mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks is proposed to be a promising process that can contribute toward safe and permanent CO2 sequestration. Here, we investigated a partially buried Late Cretaceous composite volcano located offshore the central West Iberian margin as a proxy for potential in situ mineral carbonation in volcanic edifices on continental margins worldwide. Based on seismic data, geochemistry, and petrophysical properties, deterministic scenarios for permanent carbon storage were estimated. Overall analysis of the nature of the volcano and its internal architecture revealed that this single edifice has the potential to store 1.2–8.6 Gt CO2 in newly formed carbonate mineral assemblages. Results suggest that ancient, buried volcanoes on continental margins constitute auspicious sites for safe carbon storage, with a total storage capacity of hundreds of gigatonnes of CO2.

Abstract
Geochemical, geochronological (U–Pb on zircons, ID TIMS), and isotope–geochemical (Sm–Nd) studies of Kopri-type granitoids of the Tukuringra Complex have been carried out. The granitoids are located exclusively in the zone of the Dzheltulak suture, which separates the Dzhugdzhur–Stanovoi and Western Stanovoi superterranes of the Central Asian fold belt. It has been established that they can be classified as postcollisional adakite-like granitoids of elevated alkalinity and adakite-type basicity, formed in the age range between 127 ± 1 and 126 ± 1 Ma, which are part of the Late Mesozoic postcollisional Stanovoi volcano-plutonic belt that extends more than 1000 km in the sublatitudinal direction from the Sea of Okhotsk into the continent subparallel to the Mongolia–Okhotsk suture zone and stitches the Dzhugdzhur–Stanovoi and the Western Stanovoi superterranes. The structural position of the Kopri-type granitoid massifs registers the upper age limit of the Dzheltulak suture. Formation of the parent melts of these granitoids is associated with an essentially lithospheric source formed as a result of mixing of the Early Precambrian and a younger, apparently Phanerozoic component. In contrast to other granitoids of the Stanovoi belt that are close in composition and age, the granitoids under consideration are characterized by a certain increase in the role of the asthenospheric component in their source, which is probably due to their localization in the zone of elevated lithospheric permeability and at the junction of faults of different orientations, generally sublatitudinal, guided by the Mongolia–Okhotsk lineament, and northwestward, associated with the development of the Dzheltulak suture.
Formation of Winter Surface Temperature Anomalies in the North Atlantic in Decades of Negative and Positive Values of the North Atlantic Oscillation Index

Published: May 2023

Abstract
An analysis of the variability of the winter surface temperature anomaly in the North Atlantic in decades of negative and positive values of the North Atlantic Oscillation Index is presented. It is found that, in a decade with negative values of the North Atlantic Oscillation Index, the slope waters of the Gulf Stream system and Labrador Current waters decrease the temperature of the Gulf Stream at the mixing zone on the Scotia Peninsula shelf and in the area of the quasi-stationary anticyclonic gyre to a maximum. In a decade with positive values of the North Atlantic Oscillation Index, the temperature of the slope waters is close to the climate normal. Taking into account the increased speed of the Gulf Stream in the years with positive values of the North Atlantic Oscillation Index, the spreading of the ocean surface temperature anomaly over the North Atlantic water area occurs for a shorter time than in the years with negative values.
Patient involvement in quality improvement: a survey comparing naturalistic and reflective approaches
Authors: Elg Mattias , Gremyr Ida 
Published: May 2023

BackgroundThis study investigates reflective and naturalistic approaches to patient involvement in quality improvement. The reflective approach, using, for example, interviews, provides insights into patient needs and demands to support an established improvement agenda. The naturalistic approach, for example, observations, is used to discover practical problems and opportunities that professionals are currently unaware of.MethodsWe assessed the use of naturalistic and reflective approaches in quality improvement to see whether they differed in their impact on patient needs, financial improvements and improved patient flows. Four possible combinations were used as a starting point: restrictive (low reflective–low naturalistic), in situ (low reflective–high naturalistic), retrospective (high reflective–low naturalistic) and blended (high reflective–high naturalistic). Data were collected through an online cross-sectional survey using a web-based survey tool. The original sample was based on a list of 472 participants enrolled in courses on improvement science in three Swedish regions. The response rate was 34%. Descriptives and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) in SPSS V.23 were used for the statistical analysis.ResultsThe sample consisted of 16 projects characterised as restrictive, 61 as retrospective and 63 as blended. No projects were characterised as in situ. There was a significant effect of patient involvement approaches on patient flows and patient needs at the p<0.05 level (patient flows, (F(2, 128)=5.198, p=0.007) and patient needs (F(2, 127)=13.228, p=0.000)). No significant effect was found for financial results.ConclusionsMoving beyond restrictive patient involvement is important to meet new patient needs and improve patient flows. This can be done either by increasing the use of a reflective approach or by increasing the use of both reflective and naturalistic approaches. A blended approach with high levels of both is likely to produce better results in addressing new patient needs and improving patient flows.
