Purpose
316 L stainless steel alloy is potentially the most used material in the selective laser melting (SLM) process because of its versatility and broad fields of applications (e.g. medical devices, tooling, automotive, etc.). That is why producing fully functional parts through optimal printing configuration is still a key issue to be addressed. This paper aims to present an entirely new framework for simultaneously reducing surface roughness (SR) while increasing the material processing rate in the SLM process of 316L stainless steel, keeping fundamental mechanical properties within their allowable range.

Design/methodology/approach
Considering the nonlinear relationship between the printing parameters and features analyzed in the entire experimental space, machine learning and statistical modeling methods were defined to describe the behavior of the selected variables in the as-built conditions. First, the Box–Behnken design was adopted and corresponding experimental planning was conducted to measure the required variables. Second, the relationship between the laser power, scanning speed, hatch distance, layer thickness and selected responses was modeled using empirical methods. Subsequently, three heuristic algorithms (nonsorting genetic algorithm, multi-objective particle swarm optimization and cross-entropy method) were used and compared to search for the Pareto solutions of the formulated multi-objective problem.

Findings
A minimum SR value of approximately 12.83 μm and a maximum material processing rate of 2.35 mm3/s were achieved. Finally, some verification experiments recommended by the decision-making system implemented strongly confirmed the reliability of the proposed optimization methodology by providing the ultimate part qualities and their mechanical properties nearly identical to those defined in the literature, with only approximately 10% of error at the maximum.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study dealing with an entirely different and more comprehensive approach for optimizing the 316 L SLM process, embedding it in a unique framework of mechanical and surface properties and material processing rate.

AbstractGenetic non‐invasive sampling (gNIS) is a critical tool for population genetics studies, supporting conservation efforts while imposing minimal impacts on wildlife. However, gNIS often presents variable levels of DNA degradation and non‐endogenous contamination, which can incur considerable processing costs. Furthermore, the use of restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing methods (RADseq) for assessing thousands of genetic markers introduces the challenge of obtaining large sets of shared loci with similar coverage across multiple individuals. Here, we present an approach to handling large‐scale gNIS‐based datasets using data from the spotted hyena population inhabiting the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. We generated 3RADseq data for more than a thousand individuals, mostly from faecal mucus samples collected non‐invasively and varying in DNA degradation and contamination level. Using small‐scale sequencing, we screened samples for endogenous DNA content, removed highly contaminated samples, confirmed overlap fragment length between libraries, and balanced individual representation in a sequencing pool. We evaluated the impact of (1) DNA degradation and contamination of non‐invasive samples, (2) PCR duplicates and (3) different SNP filters on genotype accuracy based on Mendelian error estimated for parent–offspring trio datasets. Our results showed that when balanced for sequencing depth, contaminated samples presented similar genotype error rates to those of non‐contaminated samples. We also showed that PCR duplicates and different SNP filters impact genotype accuracy. In summary, we showed the potential of using gNIS for large‐scale genetic monitoring based on SNPs and demonstrated how to improve control over library preparation by using a weighted re‐pooling strategy that considers the endogenous DNA content.

ResumoAs palmeiras (Arecaceae) exercem grande relevância na estrutura e funcionamento dos ecossistemas de florestas tropicais, além de compreenderem recursos‐chave para animais frugívoros. Entretanto, muitas espécies estão atualmente em risco de extinção devido à superexploração e/ou perda de habitat. Nosso estudo visou realizar uma revisão sistemática com uma abordagem cientométrica de todas as 78 espécies de palmeiras nativas da Mata Atlântica brasileira, buscando identificar as espécies e regiões mais bem estudadas, principais tópicos estudados, padrões gerais, tendências e lacunas na pesquisa científica associada a esta família botânica. No total, foram realizados estudos para 48 espécies pertencentes a 10 gêneros, com o número de estudos aumentando exponencialmente a partir dos anos 70 e exibindo grande diferença no número de publicações entre as espécies. Euterpe edulis foi a espécie mais estudada (n = 274), seguida por Acrocomia aculeata (n = 205), enquanto Bactris bahiensis (1), Geonoma litoralis (1), Syagrus santosii (1) e Trithrinax acanthocoma (0) foram as espécies menos estudadas. O maior número de estudos foi realizado nos estados do sudeste do Brasil. Com relação ao tipo de estudos, 34% e 27% estavam relacionados a propriedades bioquímicas e processos ecológicos, respectivamente, enquanto os estudos sobre entomologia (n = 26), cultura de tecidos (n = 23) e taxonomia (n = 7) representaram o menor número. Dado o papel fundamental das palmeiras nas florestas tropicais, nosso estudo sugere que as pesquisas futuras devem se concentrar em espécies menos estudadas, incluindo Desmoncus spp., Geonoma spp. e Trithrinax sp. e em algumas áreas menos estudadas, como a porção nordeste da Mata Atlântica.

AbstractAimThe aims of this nationwide retrospective cohort study were to determine the time and causes of detection of severe congenital heart defects (CHDs) in live‐born infants in Norway between 2017 and 2020.MethodsInformation regarding live‐born infants with severe CHDs was retrieved from national registries and medical records.ResultsA total of 219 776 infants were born in Norway from 01.01.2017 to 31.12.2020. Severe CHDs were diagnosed in 442 (0.2%) infants. Of these, 376 (85%) infants were diagnosed either prenatally (n = 203, 46%) or before discharge from hospital after birth (n = 173, 39%). A total of 56 (13%) infants were discharged with undetected CHDs. Time of detection was unknown in 10 cases (2%). The most frequent undetected CHDs at discharge were coarctation of the aorta/aortic arch hypoplasia (n = 24), atrioventricular septal defect (n = 13), anomalous pulmonary venous connection (n = 5) and coronary artery anomalies (n = 4). Seven (13%) children with undetected CHD experienced circulatory collapse out of hospital.ConclusionMost infants with severe CHDs in Norway were identified prior to hospital discharge. However, some infants were discharged undiagnosed. Awareness of undetected CHDs and immediate cardiac assessment in infants with signs of circulatory failure early in life are still important.

AbstractAimDue to the stress that is classically associated with the premature birth of a child, these parents may be prone to sleep disorders. The aim of this study was to compare sleep quality of preterm infants' parents with that of term infants' parents.MethodsProspective observational cohort study conducted at the University Hospital of Brest between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary outcome criterion was the score obtained by the parents on the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) 6 months after their child's birth. Each parent was recruited in the days following their child's birth and completed the PSQI online.ResultsOverall, 316 parents were included. The median gestational age at birth was 34.3 (31.6–35.5) weeks in the preterm infant group and 39.7 (38.6–40.7) weeks in the term infant group. Of the 948 expected questionnaires, 771 were completed and collected. On average, 59% of the parents obtained a PSQI global score >5. Six months after birth, no differences were reported between parents of preterm and full‐term infants.ConclusionThis study did not reveal any difference between sleep quality of preterm infants' parents and term infants' parents.

Published: August 2023

AbstractIn computerized adaptive testing, overexposure of items in the bank is a serious problem and might result in item compromise. We develop an item selection algorithm that utilizes the entire bank well and reduces the overexposure of items. The algorithm is based on collaborative filtering and selects an item in two stages. In the first stage, a set of candidate items whose expected performance matches the examinee's current performance is selected. In the second stage, an item that is approximately matched to the examinee's observed performance is selected from the candidate set. The expected performance of an examinee on an item is predicted by autoencoders. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing item selection algorithms in terms of item exposure while incurring only a small loss in measurement precision.

Published: August 2023

SummaryBackgroundIncisional complications following ventral midline celiotomy represent a challenge for equine surgeons. Preventative measures to minimise risks of incisional complications are continuously being investigated. This includes the search for an ideal surgical closure method.ObjectiveTo compare the incidence of incisional complications after skin closure with nylon sutures versus stainless‐steel skin staples (SSS) following ventral midline celiotomy for colic surgery in horses and to assess additional risk factors for incisional complications.Study designProspective blinded randomised study (2012–2014).MethodsOne hundred and twenty‐three horses that underwent colic surgery between May 2012 and May 2014 and survived for >2 weeks were included in the study. Horses were allocated randomly to two groups—65 horses were closed with skin staples, and 58 horses were closed with skin sutures (nylon‐0). Patient records and a follow‐up questionnaire were used to record incisional complications that occurred during hospitalisation and after discharge.ResultsFollow‐up information was available in 119 of 123 horses. Four horses without follow‐up were excluded. With strict inclusion criteria, incisional drainage was recorded in 43% (49/115) of the horses, including 40% (25/63) of the surgical staples skin closure group and 46% (24/52) of the nylon suture skin closure group. Pregnancy and large colon intestinal lesions were risk factors for incisional complications. Surgeon 3 was found to decrease the incidence of incisional infection. No association was detected between incisional complications and hernia development.Main limitationsThe non‐uniformity of the follow‐up examination; reliance on owners or caregiver of the horse for follow‐up information, horses lost to follow‐up, incomplete data. Another limitation was the single‐centre design of the study.ConclusionsAlthough not significantly superior, the use of staples may serve as a valid alternative for ventral midline abdominal incision skin closure.

Abstract2020 official recession figures ignore the costs associated with the loss of human life due to COVID‐19. This article constructs full recession measures that consider the death toll. Our model features nonexpected utility, leisure, age‐specific survival rates, and tractable heterogeneity. We find an average full recession of 10.7%, which reflects the net value of an aggregate drop in consumption of 2.7%, an average increase of 197 leisure hours and about 540,000 lives lost in the first pandemic year. The full recession for a utilitarian planner is 14.5%, which aligns with that of individuals in their late 50s.

AbstractThe conceptualization of self‐congruity is more than five decades old. However, the research on its effect on consumer behaviour is still evolving, ensuing the literature developed being fragmented and dispersed. This concern state‐of‐art summarization of the literature to consolidate knowledge on self‐congruity. The purpose of this review article is to structure the self‐congruity literature on understanding consumer behaviour developed over five decades in terms of significant theories, contexts, frameworks, and methodologies. This review also aims to provide an integrative research model and outline future research directions. To this end, Scientific procedure and rationales for systematic literature reviews (SPAR‐4‐SLR) protocol with the lens of the Theory, Context, Characteristics, Methods (TCCM) framework was adopted for review procedure. The review was conducted with a corpus containing 339 research articles on exploring self‐congruity facets and its effect on consumer behaviour published between 1973 and 2022. The findings are reported using TCCM convention adopting inductive approach. Further, based on the review findings, an integrative model of self‐congruity is put forth summarizing the research frameworks and constructs adopted as antecedents, modifiers, and implications in investigating self‐congruity effect on consumer behaviour. This review paper concludes recommending future research agendas with the intention of expanding self‐congruity research in emerging contexts applying cutting‐edge methodology.

AbstractIntroductionThe heparanase (HPSE) gene is highly polymorphic, but only a minority of its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been studied. Among these, rs4693608 and rs4364254 SNPs are closely associated with mRNA expression and HPSE protein levels in healthy subjects. Given the association between HPSE and inflammatory response, we aimed to evaluate whether HPSE rs4693608 and rs4364254 SNPs could have an impact on graft‐versus‐host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplants (HSCT).MethodsA total of 228 consecutive patients who underwent HSCT at our center between 2005 and 2018 were included. The rs4693608 SNP was identified by polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) analysis, while the rs4364254 was detected by allele‐specific amplification.ResultsThe recipient‐donor discrepancy for rs4364254 HPSE SNP was significantly associated with grade II‐IV aGvHD (HR 1.75, p = 0.03). Patients were stratified into risk groups as follows: low‐risk group (LDR) including TT‐TT, TT‐CT, CT‐TT, CC‐CC; high‐risk group (HDR) including CC‐CT, CC‐TT, CT‐CC, CT–CT, TT‐CC. Day 100 cumulative incidence of grade II‐IV aGvHD was 23.4% in the LDR group and 41.4% in the HDR group (p = 0.01). One‐year cumulative incidence of moderate/severe cGvHD was 42.6% in the LDR group and 58.6% in the HDR group (p = 0.04). Independent variables for moderate/severe cGvHD in patients who received myeloablative conditioning included donor rs4693608 SNP (GA/AA vs. GG: HR 6.86, p = 0.008), rs4693608‐rs4364254 SNP combination in recipient (HR/MR vs. LR: HR 3.67, p = 0.01), and previous grade II‐IV aGvHD (HR 3.28, p = 0.0005). Finally, donors with rs4364254 SNP CC conferred increased transplant‐related mortality (TRM) (39.1% vs. 25%, p = 0.03) and decreased graft‐relapse free survival (GRFS) (23.5% vs. 34.4%, p = 0.04) compared with CT or TT genotypes.ConclusionThe differences in incidence of GvHD according to recipient‐donor genotype combinations suggests a possible role for rs4364254 HPSE SNP in predicting GvHD. A high level of HPSE, particularly linked to CC genotype of rs4364254 SNP may promote alloreactive T lymphocytes activation and migration toward target organs.

Published: August 2023

AbstractAcute liver failure (ALF) is an inflammation‐mediated hepatocyte death process associated with ferroptosis. Avicularin (AL), a Chinese herbal medicine, exerts anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative effects. However, the protective effect of AL and the mechanism on ALF have not been reported. Our in vivo results suggest that AL significantly alleviated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D‐galactosamine (D‐GalN)‐induced hepatic pathological injury, liver enzymes, inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species and iron levels and increased the antioxidant enzyme activities (malondialdehyde and glutathione). Our further in vitro experiments demonstrated that AL suppressed inflammatory response in LPS‐stimulated RAW 264.7 cells via blocking the toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation protein‐88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) pathway. Moreover, AL attenuated ferroptosis in D‐GalN‐induced HepG2 cells by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO‐1)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway. Therefore, AL can alleviate inflammatory response and ferroptosis in LPS/D‐GalN‐induced ALF, and its protective effects are associated with blocking TLR4/MyD88/NF‐κB pathway and activating Nrf2/HO‐1/GPX4 pathway. Moreover, AL is a promising therapeutic option for ALF and should be clinically explored.

AbstractWe present a potential growth thermal index (PGTI) and assess its correlation with juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar fork length data collected near the end of the growth season in a range of latitudinal locations and geographic scales (watershed, regional, continental) across the American north‐east. The PGTI is based on two components: a water temperature‐dependent growth curve and a water temperature time series continuously describing the thermal environment preceding fish sampling. Testing various shapes and characteristics of the temperature–growth curve against fish length data revealed strong positive correlations for all combinations. PGTI warming, calculated only from the beginning of the growth season until maximum summer temperature is reached, consistently performed well in explaining fish size‐at‐age across the latitudinal gradient and the three geographic scales that were considered. Varying thermal contrasts created by repeat subsampling of the dataset showed that fish length is better explained by the level of thermal contrast within the dataset than the geographical scale of analysis. A simple generalized linear model using a log link function with PGTI warming, fish density and water discharge as predictors explained 87% of the variance of size‐at‐age of 0+ and 1+ juvenile Atlantic salmon.

AbstractAims and ObjectivesTo investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pressure injury (PI) in older inpatients and predictive validity of the Braden scale.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsConducted in a 2600‐bed tertiary hospital in Northwestern China from January to June 2022, the study included older patients (≥60 years). The Braden scale was used for the risk assessment of PI, and the epidemiological characteristics of PI were observed. The contributing factors of PI in older inpatients were examined using univariate and multiple or multivariable logistic regression analysis. The predictive validity and optimal cut‐off value were assessed using receiver operating curve (ROC).ResultsThe study included 13,064 older patients, with a PI incidence of 0.20%, with the highest incidence (0.95%) in those aged ≥80. Age, BMI, Braden score and length of hospital stay were related to PI occurrence. The Braden scale showed an AUC of 0.905 for predicting PI in older inpatients, with a sensitivity of 84.6% and specificity of 86.4%. The optimal cut‐off value of 19 yielded the best predictive performance with a Yoden index of 0.710.ConclusionPI is most likely to occur in older inpatients with older age, longer hospital stay, lower BMI and Braden score. The Braden scale demonstrated good suitability for predicting PI risk in this population, with an optimal cut‐off value of 19 showing improved predictive accuracy.Patient or Public ContributionThroughout the investigation, patients or family members cooperated to complete all data investigation and evaluation, and nurses assisted in PI risk assessment, skin evaluation and other work.
