Published: January 2025

Abstract
Rates of gambling disorder (GD) have been found to be higher among people receiving disability benefit, but few studies have investigated whether receiving disability benefit prospectively actually increases the risk of GD. The present study investigated whether those with a disability benefit had an increased risk of developing GD using a case-control design. The study sample was retrieved from the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR, N = 5,131) and consisted of all adults in Norway (18 years and older) who had received a GD diagnosis (F63.0 according to ICD-10) between 2008 and 2018. The study group was age and sex matched with a random sample from the (1) general population (FD-trygd, n = 30,164), and (2) and individuals with other somatic or psychiatric illnesses (NPR, n = 30,476). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that people receiving disability benefit had higher odds of later being diagnosed with GD compared to the general population (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% CI [2.02, 2.54]), and compared to individuals in the NPR (OR = 2.13, 95% CI [1.90, 2.38]). Recipients of disability benefit constitute a group who is vulnerable in terms of developing GD. Although the present study found evidence for a prospective association, causality could not be established. The study identified a cohort that may benefit from targeted prevention and intervention strategies regarding gambling behavior.

Abstract

Background
This study aimed to create a comprehensive Core Outcome Set (COS) for assessing the long-term outcome (≥ 5 years) after Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS), through the use of the Delphi method.

Methods
The study utilized a three-phase approach. In Phase 1, a long list of items was identified through a literature review and expert input, forming the basis for an online Delphi survey. In Phase 2, Dutch healthcare professionals involved in MBS care, defined as having at least 1 year of experience in routine follow-up or managing issues arising during follow-up, rated the importance of these items over three Delphi rounds using a 5-point Likert scale. Participants had the option to suggest additional items. Consensus was defined as 75% agreement among panelists. In Phase 3, the final COS was validated at a national conference.

Results
Thirty-one professionals participated in the first Delphi round. Of these, 28 (90%) completed the second round, and 24 (77%) completed the third round. The final COS, validated by 18 healthcare professionals, included various domains: short-term textbook outcome, weight loss, remission of comorbidities, quality of life, micronutrient deficiencies, lifestyle, psychopathology, long-term complications, and preoperative indication.

Conclusions
The final COS offers a multidimensional approach to evaluate long-term outcomes after MBS. This COS is expected to enhance the measurement and benchmarking of MBS care, providing a more holistic view of patient outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The delineation of shorelines, marking the dynamic boundary between land and sea, is crucial for coastal management and ecological conservation. This research investigates various methods for automatic shoreline extraction from satellite images, utilizing cost-effective and regularly available remote sensing data. A deep learning framework is used for the comparison that combines semantic segmentation (UNEt) and edge detection (Bi-Directional Cascade Network, or BDCN) to make the results more accurate. The study focuses on the northern coast of Egypt, a region with diverse landscapes and significant human interventions. We’ve made progress in our methods by using advanced image processing, the CoastSat Toolkit, the BDCN_UNet framework, time series analysis, and deep learning networks to look at and keep an eye on Egypt’s North Coast’s future plans in more detail. This study captures the intricate interplay between natural and human factors in coastal environments, offering valuable insights for sustainable coastal development. The performance analysis of four models (UNet, Pyramid Scene Parsing Network, DeepLabV3, and BDCN_UNet) applied to three satellite datasets (Sentinel-2, PlanetScope, and Pleiades) showed that PlanetScope and Pleiades consistently yield higher accuracy (0.90–0.99), while Sentinel-2 proved more challenging, particularly for Pyramid Scene Parsing Network and DeepLabV3. UNet and BDCN_UNet exhibited robust performance across all datasets, especially with Pleiades delivering the best results overall.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The research interest about the volatile fatty acid (VFA) formation from food or kitchen waste are significantly increasing from the last few years. Assisting the ongoing tendency, in this work, kitchen waste as low-cost carbon source was treated by acidogenic fermentation with sewage sludge digestate as inoculum for VFA production. Due to the remarkable amount of kitchen waste generated annually, investigations were made at high organic loads that simulate favourable practical needs due to the higher volumetric efficiency. Information was obtained about the pH related VFA profiles, unpretreated sludge addition, batch and fed-batch operation. Without pH control, the low pH conditions (under pH 5.5) led mostly to acetic (60.2%), isobutyric (21.7%) and propionic acids (16.8%). Relatively high VFA yield (0.31 g TVFA g-1 VS) with the domination of n-butyric acid was reached by daily pH elevation to 6.0 in the fourth day. Unpretreated inoculum addition showed higher hexanoic acid production (0.055 g g− 1 VS). In the case of fed-batch operations, VFA content and yield could be increased. Based on the results, further research directions were identified, and the potential of kitchen waste as a cheap feedstock for VFA production through acidogenic fermentation, even at elevated organic loads, was demonstrated.

Abstract
The surgical risk is higher for obese patients undergoing laparoscopic left hemicolectomy. To enhance the surgical safety and efficacy for obese patients, we have innovatively integrated the advantages of various surgical approaches to modify a pancreas-guided C-shaped surgical procedure. The safety and quality were assessed through a retrospective analysis. Colon cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy were categorized into two groups, C-shaped group and Medial-to-lateral group. Baseline data, operative safety indices, operative quality indices and learning curve were subjected to statistical analysis. The complete mesocolic excision rate and R0 resection rate were 100% in both groups. In terms of surgical safety, C-shaped group experienced significantly less blood loss (50(20) mL vs. 50(50) mL, p = 0.002), shorter total operative time (252.65 ± 50.43 min vs. 280.12 ± 70.45 min, p = 0.004) and no organ damage occurred. All patients were classified into four BMI grades (I: BMI < 18.5 kg/m2; II: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2; III: 24 ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m2; IV: BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2). The total operative time and estimated blood loss were significantly lower in obese patients (BMI grade III and IV) of C-shaped group. In addition, intra-group analysis further confirmed that this modified surgical technique could effectively enhance safety and efficiency for obese patients. Learning curve analysis revealed a significant reduction in total operative time after the completion of 20 surgeries. Utilization of the pancreas-guided C-shaped surgical procedure in obese patients ensures reliable surgical outcomes and significantly increases safety and efficiency. In addition, it is easier to learn and master.

Abstract
Due to the increased interest in durable, sustainable and recyclable fabrics, natural fibres are currently experiencing a renaissance. This study investigated controlled anaerobic water retting of flax as a potential process step in a future biorefinery, allowing the simultaneous production of high-quality fibres, stalks, organic acids or biomethane. Anaerobic water retting of flax resulted in the formation of a retting effluent containing 1.745 ± 605 mg L−1 acetic acid, 1.051 ± 354 mg L−1 butyric acid, 145 ± 38 mg L−1 propionic acid and 190 ± 96 mg L−1 caproic acid. Furthermore, 38.0 ± 7.2 mL g oDM−1 hydrolysis gas with 41.6–54.2% CO2 and 45.3–58.1% H2 was produced. Anaerobic digestion tests resulted in a specific biomethane potential range of 221 ± 14 to 261 ± 13 mL CH4 g COD−1 for the retting effluent. The average yield of fibres and stalks from flax was 22% and 51%, respectively. The flax fibres obtained were mainly composed of cellulose (75.1% of dry matter). Hemicellulose and lignin accounted for 7.1 ± 0.3% and 1.9 ± 0.3%, respectively. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the fibres were 354 ± 130 MPa and 35 ± 8 GPa, respectively. The annual product yields for a cultivation area of 1 ha of flax were estimated at 0.67 t of fibres, 1.55 t of stalks and 117 m3 biomethane.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Purpose of the Review
The interplay among diabetes, obesity, and periodontal disease is well-established. In addition to diabetes and obesity, numerous factors contribute to the risk of tooth loss, including age, smoking status, and oral care practices. However, most previous studies included fewer than 10,000 participants, limiting the ability to conduct comprehensive quantitative analyses of remaining teeth. This review examines the impacts of diabetes and obesity on the number of remaining teeth using large-scale data, such as national databases, to provide real-world evidence.

Recent Findings
Recent studies have identified linear relationships between the number of remaining teeth and factors such as fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and body mass index across different age groups. Periodontal disease exacerbation has emerged as an important mechanism of tooth loss. Hyperglycemia-associated chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are suspected to worsen periodontal disease, which would constitute a causal link between systemic and periodontal conditions. Furthermore, several clinical trials have demonstrated that resolution of periodontal disease can improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in individuals with insulin resistance. This evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between periodontal and systemic diseases.

Summary
Large-scale data analyses have provided clearer insights into the cyclical relationship among diabetes, obesity, and periodontal disease, emphasizing its potential role in preventing tooth loss.

Abstract

Purpose of Review
As evidence accumulates for the pernicious effects of exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) on mental health, the need for improved measurement of moral injury has grown. This article summarizes the psychometric properties of scales that assess cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual concerns linked to PMIE exposure and uses meta-analysis to describe associations between these scales and measures of posttraumatic stress and depression.

Findings
We reviewed 104 articles reporting results from 110 samples, in which 13 different scales were administered to assess the impacts of PMIE exposure (i.e., moral injury). Overall, the scales exhibited good to excellent internal consistency and moderate to large bivariate associations with posttraumatic stress (r = .63, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] [.55, .71]) and depression (r = .59, 95% CI [.51, .66]). Measures varied as to whether they indexed problems to a specific event, had a unidimensional or multidimensional factor structure, used a unipolar or bipolar response format to record item responses, used a cut score to distinguish moral injury from normative distress, were assessed for sensitivity to change over time, and were validated for use with multiple at-risk populations.

Summary
Assessment of moral injury has progressed tremendously. Recent scales extend prior work that focused on whether respondents endorsed PMIE exposure by measuring the potential impacts of an exposure. Mental health clinicians and researchers can use this article to choose a scale that best fits their moral injury measurement needs.

Abstract

Purpose of Review
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the most lethal and common malignant tumours that occur in the bile ducts. Although it is relatively rare, it is prevalent with an annual incidence rate of 0.3–6% per 100,000 people globally. The onset of CCA can be influenced by several risk factors, including exposure to invasive fungal pathogens. Immunocompromised patients with CCA that undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are susceptible to invasive fungal infections (IFIs) caused by the World Health Organization (WHO) priority list of critical fungal pathogens. This potentially leads to harbouring of antifungal-drug resistant pathogens (AFDRPs) that could have a detrimental impact on disease treatment as a result of their resistance mechanisms.

Recent Findings
In this article, we reviewed the prevalence and impact of AFDRP colonisation in CCA patients undergoing ERCP. The potential influence of AFDRPs on the development of CCA tumours or the response to treatment. Lastly, we addressed the potential application of drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of antifungal and anticancer agents to AFDRPs in CCA patients.

Summary
Understanding the mechanisms of nanoparticles (NPs) in manipulating fungal cells and CCA cells as these interactions are complex. Therefore, the development effective NP-based strategies as antifungal and anticancer agents in important for the treatment of cancer and fungal infections.
Leader Positive Relational Energy: A Systematic Review
Authors: Cabrera Victoria , Keelin Christine , Shapiro Jamie , Donaldson Stewart I. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Positive relationships at work have been found to be beneficial, leading to outcomes such as improved well-being and work performance. One reason positive relationships are believed to be beneficial at work is that they are a source of positive relational energy—an increased level of psychological resourcefulness generated through interactions with others that leads to an increased capacity to do work. Leaders have been identified as especially important for generating positive relational energy. For example, Cameron (2021) has argued that the most successful leaders are typically positively energizing leaders who, through virtuous behaviors characteristic of positive leadership, energize followers, which leads to better work performance. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the empirical evidence to determine whether positive leadership generates positive relational energy among followers, leading to their improved work performance.
Regional Back‐Analysis of Earthquake Triggered Landslide Inventories: A 2D Method for Estimating Rock Strength From Remote Sensing Data
Authors: Medwedeff William G. , Clark Marin K. , Zekkos Dimitrios 
Published: January 2025

AbstractLandslides occur where the stresses below the surface exceed the shear strength of the material. Landslide inventories thus offer opportunities to investigate patterns in subsurface strength provided that the stress conditions at failure can be estimated. Clues to the failure stresses are encoded in the inclination of the slope that failed and the thickness of the sliding mass. We use this insight to develop a two‐dimensional (2D) landslide back‐analysis model that estimates bedrock strength over the broad scales relevant to earthquake‐triggered landslide hazard and landscape evolution. A unique aspect of our model is the incorporation of independent landslide thickness measurements for each landslide, which are provided by differencing pre‐ and post‐failure elevation data or estimated from a volume‐area scaling relationship. This approach represents an innovation compared to previous regional‐scale models that have assumed constant thickness or have used projections to estimate the depth to the failure plane, and it provides rock strength estimates as a function of depth below the surface. We evaluate our modeling approach in applications to two landslide inventories and compare the results against geotechnical field data. The back‐calculated strength estimates are low for rock, which we hypothesize to reflect the contribution of weathering and fracturing, as well as the fact that landslides represent a small part of the entire study area and are likely associated with particularly weak material that is susceptible to failure. Finally, the two applications of our model indicate systematic variations in strength parameters below the surface and along an elevation profile, which we attribute to gradients in chemical and physical weathering.

AbstractTo achieve the 1.5°C target of the Paris agreement, rapid, sustained, and deep emission reductions are required, which often includes negative emissions through land‐based mitigation. However, the effects of future land‐use change on climate are often not considered when quantifying the climate‐induced impacts on human heat stress and labor capacity. By conducting simulations with three fully coupled Earth System Models, we project the effects of land‐use change on heat stress and outdoor labor capacity for two contrasting future land‐use scenarios under high‐ambition mitigation. Achieving a sustainable land‐use scenario with increasing global forest cover instead of an inequality scenario with decreasing forest cover in the Global South causes a global cooling ranging between 0.09°C and 0.35°C across the Earth System Models. However, the effects on human heat stress are less strong, especially over the regions of intense land‐use change such as the tropics, where biogeophysical effects on near‐surface specific humidity and wind speed counteract the cooling effect under warm extremes. The corresponding influence on outdoor labor capacity is small and inconsistent across the three Earth System Models. These results clearly highlight the importance of land‐use change scenarios for achieving global temperature targets while questioning the adaptation potential for reduction in heat stress.
