Cough and Swallowing Therapy and Their Effects on Vocal Fold Bowing and Laryngeal Lesions
Authors: Doruk Can , Curtis James A. , Dakin Avery E. , Troche Michelle S. 
Published: July 2023

ObjectiveExpiratory muscle strength training (EMST) and sensorimotor training of airway protection (smTAP) are two exercises intended to improve cough and swallowing in people with Parkinson's Disease (PwPD). The aims of this study were to (1) examine whether EMST or smTAP elicit changes to vocal fold bowing; and (2) describe the safety of EMST and smTAP as it relates to the development of vocal fold lesions.Method(s)This was a secondary analysis of data from PwPD who completed EMST or smTAP as part of a prospective randomized controlled trial. Vocal fold bowing (BI) and the presence of laryngeal lesions were blindly analyzed from flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) using ImageJ software and operational definitions. Linear regression was used to examine the influence time (pre‐ vs. post‐therapy) and therapy (EMST vs. smTAP) on vocal fold bowing. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the presence of laryngeal lesions.Result(s)Overall, 56 participants were included, 28 per group. The median BI scores pre‐ and post‐therapy were 8.2% and 8.3% for the EMST group and 11.3% and 8.4% for the smTAP group, respectively. Statistical analyses revealed insufficient evidence to suggest an effect of time and treatment type on BI (p > 0.05) or on the presence of vocal fold lesions (p > 0.05).ConclusionBased on these and previous findings, it appears that changes in vocal fold bowing do not drive treatment effects following EMST and smTAP. Also, this study further supports the safety of smTAP and EMST despite the required forceful exhalation and repetitive coughing.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 134:1127–1132, 2024
Fee or subsidy? Pricing strategies for digital content platforms with different content and advertising
Authors: Li Peipei , Mei Shue , Zhong Weijun 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe practice of offering basic and premium services with different content and advertising on digital content platforms has gained popularity. The challenge of balancing subscription fees and advertising fees to maximize revenue has led some platforms to charge consumers for the basic service, while others subsidize it. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether consumers should be charged or subsidized for the basic service, which includes lower‐quality content and advertisements. By utilizing an optimization model, we discover that when there is a significant surplus of advertising or a slight surplus of advertising with a minimal profit to advertisers, the platform should charge. However, when the surplus of advertising is low and the profit to advertisers is high, the platform should subsidize. Furthermore, under partial market coverage, when the surplus of advertising is low and the profit to advertisers is moderate, the platform should initially charge and then subsidize as the content quality difference increases. Surprisingly, the intuition that the pricing of the basic service and advertising should decrease with the nuisance of advertising and increase with the surplus of advertising may not always hold true. This study led to a novel approach to exploring differentiated pricing for digital content platforms, taking into account the advertising information value from a bilateral market perspective.

Published: July 2023

AbstractPurposeTo develop SPARCQ (Signal Profile Asymmetries for Rapid Compartment Quantification), a novel approach to quantify fat fraction (FF) using asymmetries in the phase‐cycled balanced SSFP (bSSFP) profile.MethodsSPARCQ uses phase‐cycling to obtain bSSFP frequency profiles, which display asymmetries in the presence of fat and water at certain TRs. For each voxel, the measured signal profile is decomposed into a weighted sum of simulated profiles via multi‐compartment dictionary matching. Each dictionary entry represents a single‐compartment bSSFP profile with a specific off‐resonance frequency and relaxation time ratio. Using the results of dictionary matching, the fractions of the different off‐resonance components are extracted for each voxel, generating quantitative maps of water and FF and banding‐artifact‐free images for the entire image volume. SPARCQ was validated using simulations, experiments in a water‐fat phantom and in knees of healthy volunteers. Experimental results were compared with reference proton density FFs obtained with 1H‐MRS (phantoms) and with multiecho gradient‐echo MRI (phantoms and volunteers). SPARCQ repeatability was evaluated in six scan‐rescan experiments.ResultsSimulations showed that FF quantification is accurate and robust for SNRs greater than 20. Phantom experiments demonstrated good agreement between SPARCQ and gold standard FFs. In volunteers, banding‐artifact‐free quantitative maps and water‐fat‐separated images obtained with SPARCQ and ME‐GRE demonstrated the expected contrast between fatty and non‐fatty tissues. The coefficient of repeatability of SPARCQ FF was 0.0512.ConclusionSPARCQ demonstrates potential for fat quantification using asymmetries in bSSFP profiles and may be a promising alternative to conventional FF quantification techniques.
Equilibrium finite element and error estimation for frictional contact problem based on linear complementarity problem formulation
Authors: Zheng Qisheng , Liu Jike , Lu Zhong‐Rong , Wang Li 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article proposes a novel equilibrium finite element method (EFEM) for equilibrated solution of frictional contact problem. The development of such EFEM is mainly two‐fold. On the one hand, the traction‐based equilibrium element is employed to construct the discrete equilibrated stress field. This equilibrium element, using edge tractions as basic variables, is found straightforward to deal with the friction and contact constraints on the contact surface. On the other hand, the Coulomb frictional contact problem is recast into a linear complementarity problem (LCP), with which the algebraic complementarity formulation can be obtained with the help of the constructed equilibrated stress field. A remarkable property of the proposed EFEM is that the equilibrated solution, in conjunction with the compatible solution of the traditional FEM, can provide reliable error estimation for frictional contact within the framework of dual analysis. Numerical examples are finally conducted to see the performance and the ability to reliable error estimation of the proposed EFEM.
Targeting psychological and menopausal factors linked to non‐adherence to anti‐estrogen therapy in women with early‐stage hormone‐receptor positive breast cancer: A web‐based feasibility study of Finding My Way

Published: July 2023

Key Points

Reduced adherence to anti‐estrogen therapy (AET; tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors) in women with early‐stage hormone‐receptor‐positive (HR+) breast cancers leads to adverse clinical outcomes.

Modifiable psychological factors (e.g., depressive symptoms and anxiety) and menopausal symptoms (e.g., sleep disturbance and hot flashes) are linked with diminished adherence.

An intervention targeting psychological and menopausal symptoms has potential to improve AET adherence.

We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a remotely administered behavioral intervention in women with early‐stage HR+ breast cancer taking AET at‐risk for non‐adherence with psychological and menopausal symptoms.

Findings from this preliminary study show that a web‐based behavioral intervention is feasible and may be a potential method of reducing risk for AET non‐adherence in some patients.

AbstractGlioma is a type of tumor that starts in the glial cells of the brain or spine. Since the 1800s, when the disease was first named, its survival rates have always been unsatisfactory. Despite great advances in molecular biology and traditional treatment methods, many questions regarding cancer occurrence and the underlying mechanism remain to be answered. In this study, we assessed the protein structural features of 20 oncogenes and 20 anti‐oncogenes via protein structure and dynamic analysis methods and 3D structural and systematic analyses of the structure–function relationships of proteins. All of these results directly indicate that unfavorable group proteins show more complex structures than favorable group proteins. As the tumor cell microenvironment changes, the balance of oncogene‐related and anti‐oncogene‐related proteins is disrupted, and most of the structures of the two groups of proteins will be disrupted. However, more unfavorable group proteins will maintain and refold to achieve their correct shape faster and perform their functions more quickly than favorable group proteins, and the former thus support cancer development. We hope that these analyses will help promote mechanistic research and the development of new treatments for glioma.
Improving the feedback loop between community‐ and policy‐level learning: Building resilience of coastal communities in Bangladesh
Authors: Choudhury Mahed , Wu Haorui , Shahidullah A. K. M. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBuilding community resilience has been widely recognized as a learning process at multiple societal levels, yet few prior studies have examined the feedback loop between community‐ and policy‐level learning. Following a qualitative research approach, we document experiential and transformative forms of learning from coastal cyclones in Bangladesh that help local community and their institutions mitigating the impact of cyclonic shocks and recovering from disaster‐related losses, both in the shorter and longer term. This study discovers that such community‐level learning (when scaled‐up) as well as learning from policy failure significantly enhanced programmatic interventions, which in turn enhanced community resilience to cyclones and future disasters. However, this feedback loop can be attenuated by multiple factors, such as lack of attention to community‐level learning by policy/decision makers in non‐disaster settings and the presence of a strong vested interest group, may impede learning‐based policy instrumentation. Boundary spanners or organizations can significantly improve the feedback loop, thus enhancing community resilience and improving policy.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIndustry 5.0 has created innovative new prospects leading to the production of more environmentally friendly projects, services, and products. However, the available investigation of Industry 5.0 for sustainability is still in its early stages, with few systematic and scant findings. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to undertake a systematic review of industry 5.0 for sustainability in order to identify trends, categorize research themes, draw attention to research limitations, and suggest potential directions for future research. Following a systematic review approach, 48 articles on industry 5.0 for sustainability published between 2019 and 2022 were selected and reviewed. Results showed that the research trend on the contributions of Industry 5.0 to sustainability has been remarkably growing worldwide. The internet of things, artificial intelligence, and collaborative robots were the most commonly used Industry 5.0 technologies for sustainability purposes. Subsequently, this study discussed the current studies under four main research themes, namely, robot advancement, higher education sustainability, human‐centric, and ecosystem advancement. It has been found that human centric is the most popular theme. The identification of themes and sub sub‐themes in this study can help researchers identify gaps and inspire further exploration based on the existing knowledge. This study can support the decision‐making process regarding the effective implementation of Industry 5.0 solutions to enhance sustainability practices in organizations. This study discusses the current state of Industry 5.0 technologies for sustainability and provides insights into future research directions. This can motivate researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to explore and develop innovative Industry 5.0 solutions.
Leaders’ emotional labour and abusive supervision: The moderating role of mindfulness
Authors: Ortynsky Mikaila , Walsh Megan M. , Carleton Erica , Ziemer Julie 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this study, we examine how leaders' emotional labour strategies (surface acting and deep acting) deplete leaders' self‐control resources to predict abusive supervision, in addition to the moderating role of leader mindfulness. Integrating ego‐depletion theory and emotion regulation theory, we hypothesise that deep acting and surface acting predict higher levels of abusive supervision, which is mediated by reduced self‐control. Furthermore, we predict that leaders' trait mindfulness moderates the relationship between emotional labour and self‐control on abusive supervision. Results from a three‐wave study of leader‐follower dyads supported mediation hypotheses; both deep and surface acting predicted abusive supervision, which is mediated by reduced self‐control. Our moderated mediation hypotheses were supported for deep acting but not surface acting. This research contributes to the literature by demonstrating the depleting nature of emotional labour in leadership and the importance of leader mindfulness as a boundary condition that can make deep acting less harmful for leader behaviour.
Laser Controlled Manipulation of Microbubbles on a Surface with Silica‐Coated Gold Nanoparticle Array

Published: July 2023

AbstractMicrobubble generation and manipulation play critical roles in diverse applications such as microfluidic mixing, pumping, and microrobot propulsion. However, existing methods are typically limited to lateral movements on customized substrates or rely on specific liquids with particular properties or designed concentration gradients, thereby hindering their practical applications. To address this challenge, this paper presents a method that enables robust vertical manipulation of microbubbles. By focusing a resonant laser on hydrophilic silica‐coated gold nanoparticle arrays immersed in water, plasmonic microbubbles are generated and detach from the substrates immediately upon cessation of laser irradiation. Using simple laser pulse control, it can achieve an adjustable size and frequency of bubble bouncing, which is governed by the movement of the three‐phase contact line during surface wetting. Furthermore, it demonstrates that rising bubbles can be pulled back by laser irradiation induced thermal Marangoni flow, which is verified by particle image velocimetry measurements and numerical simulations. This study provides novel insights into flexible bubble manipulation and integration in microfluidics, with significant implications for various applications including mixing, drug delivery, and the development of soft actuators.
Cryptic moulting behaviour of some Carboniferous Ostracoda
Authors: Olempska Ewa , Mundy David J.C. , Zatoń Michał 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMonospecific accumulations of ostracods, represented by spine‐bearing Janischewskya? sp. and a smooth‐shelled Cavellina? sp., were detected inside the body chamber, siphuncle and camerae of three cephalopod specimens (a nautiloid and two goniatites) from the Carboniferous (Mississippian) Cracoean reefs of North Yorkshire, UK. The ostracods occur as isolated valves packed together and are well‐preserved, with delicate spines of Janischewskya? sp. still intact on numerous specimens. Such a mode of ostracod preservation inside the cephalopod conchs and their paucity in the surrounding matrix outside the shells indicate that the valves were not concentrated due to sedimentary processes. Rather, the ostracods deliberately entered the empty cephalopod shells in order to seek sheltered habitats for moulting. In the case of the smooth‐shelled Cavellina? sp., the ostracod valves preserved inside a camera of the nautiloid have similar size, indicating that a synchronized mass moulting took place in this species. Additionally, the presence of putative eggs closely associated with the spine‐bearing Janischewskya? sp. valves inside a siphuncle of the nautiloid shows that the empty conchs could have also served as safe places for egg deposition. The present finds are thus the first examples of cryptic moulting behaviour in ostracods. They also imply that such behaviour in this group of arthropods has a long evolutionary history, at least since the Carboniferous, and potentially may persist in present day ostracods.
Breaking mechanism and damage evolution rule of abrasive water jet impacting reinforced concrete
Authors: Liu Jialiang , Liu Renjie , Ling Jun , Cai Yuting , Long Wanpeng , Zhang Xuguang 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAs time passes, a significant number of reinforced concrete (RC) constructions will require maintenance and transformation. RC repair and renovation often require localized crushing and removal of the distressed area. Abrasive water jet (AWJ) crushing RC has significant advantages in terms of safety, environmental protection, and quality. However, AWJ works with high specific energy consumption and the effective crushing range of the jets is small, and the key to solving these problems lies in an in‐depth study of the general destructive law and cracking mechanism of RC materials under the action of high‐speed liquid impact. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the above key scientific issues, combining mechanical impact tests, smooth particle hydrodynamics numerical simulation methods and computer tomography scans techniques to carry out systematic research. Through the study, it is found that: The fracture characteristics of RC are mainly reflected in crushing pits and cracks, which will produce macrocracks extending along the reinforcement on the side of RC. AWJ impacting RC is mainly divided into three stages: crater formation, upper concrete fragmentation, and concrete damage development in the reinforcement impact area. During the whole impact process, the shear stress, compressive stress and tensile stress of the reinforcement will change continuously with the increase of the impact time of the AWJ.
Trajectories of Memory: An Introduction
Authors: Budianta Melani , Tiwon Sylvia 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe labor of memory presented in this volume involves marking out and following different, multiple trajectories that we cluster along four broad themes. The first part, the “Politics of Collective Memory,” covers competing or evolving representations of particular events, customs or traditions, and historical personae in official and popular expression as they are shaped by economic, political, and cultural forces. The second part deals with memories of war and peace, examining the transnational conflict and collaboration, the role of political elites and state projects in dealing with the aftermath of military aggression, and most of all the impact and responses of civilians. The third part focuses on the framing of various historical actors and figures by the state and civil societies, which transcend the dichotomy of heroes and victims. The fourth part, “Curating Memory,” looks at the way Indonesian museums and museology after 1998 serve as the sites where new kinds of memory work occur.

AbstractBackgroundSuperior mesenteric artery (SMA) nerve plexus (PLsma) dissection has been performed to achieve R0 resection in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in high‐volume centers. However, full‐extent PLsma preservation in PD is employed in our institution. The feasibility of the PLsma preservation strategy was investigated.MethodsBetween January 2010 and December 2020, 156 patients underwent PLsma preservation PD for PDAC at our institution. Of these, 118 patients had resectable PDAC (R group) and 38 patients had borderline resectable artery (BR‐A group). Clinical and oncological outcomes focusing on local recurrence, patient prognoses, and morbidities (including postoperative refractory diarrhea) were retrospectively analyzed and our postoperative outcomes were compared with those of other institutions.ResultsPathological R0 resection by PLsma preservation PD was achieved in 96 R group patients (81.4%) and 27 BR‐A group patients (71.1%). The median postoperative hospital stay was 15.0 days in both groups. Local site‐only recurrence was observed in 10.2% (12/118) of R‐group and 10.5% (4/38) of BR‐A‐group patients, whereas distant site‐only recurrence occurred in 21.2% (25/118) of R‐group and 28.9% (11/38) of BR‐A‐group patients. Median survival times were 64.3 months (R group) and 35.4 months (BR‐A group, p = 0.07). Median disease‐free survival (DFS) times were 31.0 months (R group) and 12.0 months (BR‐A group). No diarrhea requiring opioids was observed in either group. These results were equal or superior to those of PLsma dissection PD in other institutions.ConclusionsPLsma preservation in PD was feasible compared to PLsma dissection in recurrence and overall survival.
