AbstractObjectiveTo characterize patterns in whole‐person health of public health nurses (PHNs).Design and SampleSurvey of a convenience sample of PHNs (n = 132) in 2022. PHNs self‐identified as female (96.2%), white (86.4%), between the ages 25–44 (54.5%) and 45–64 (40.2%), had bachelor's degrees (65.9%) and incomes of $50‐75,000 (30.3%) and $75‐100,000/year (29.5%).MeasurementsSimplified Omaha System Terms (SOST) within the MyStrengths+MyHealth assessment of whole‐person health (strengths, challenges, and needs) across Environmental, Psychosocial, Physiological, and Health‐related Behaviors domains.ResultsPHNs had more strengths than challenges; and more challenges than needs. Four patterns were discovered: (1) inverse relationship between strengths and challenges/needs; (2) Many strengths; (3) High needs in Income; (4) Fewest strengths in Sleeping, Emotions, Nutrition, and Exercise. PHNs with Income as a strength (n = 79) had more strengths (t = 5.570, p < .001); fewer challenges (t = ‐5.270, p < .001) and needs (t = ‐3.659, p < .001) compared to others (n = 53).ConclusionsPHNs had many strengths compared to previous research with other samples, despite concerning patterns of challenges and needs. Most PHN whole‐person health patterns aligned with previous literature. Further research is needed to validate and extend these findings toward improving PHN health.

AbstractWhat is more effective to guide behavior: The desire to gain or the fear to lose? Electroencephalography (EEG) studies have yielded inconsistent answers. In a systematic exploration of the valence and magnitude parameters in monetary gain and loss processing, we used time‐domain and time‐frequency‐domain analyses to uncover the underlying neural processes. A group of 24 participants performed a monetary incentive delay (MID) task in which cue‐induced anticipation of a high or low magnitude of gain or loss was manipulated trial‐wise. Behaviorally, the anticipation of both gain and loss expedited responses, with gain anticipation producing greater facilitation than loss anticipation. Analyses of cue‐locked P2 and P3 components revealed the significant valence main effect and valence × magnitude interaction: amplitude differences between high and low incentive magnitudes were larger with gain vs. loss cues. However, the contingent negative variation component was sensitive to incentive magnitude but did not vary with incentive valence. In the feedback phase, the RewP component exhibited reversed patterns for gain and loss trials. Time‐frequency analyses revealed a large increase in delta/theta‐ERS oscillatory activity in high‐ vs. low‐magnitude conditions and a large decrease of alpha‐ERD oscillatory activity in gain vs. loss conditions in the anticipation stage. In the consumption stage, delta/theta‐ERS turned out stronger for negative than positive feedback, especially in the gain condition. Overall, our study provides new evidence for the neural oscillatory features of monetary gain and loss processing in the MID task, suggesting that participants invested more attention under gain and high‐magnitude conditions vs. loss and low‐magnitude conditions.
The hypotheses of oral disease‐associated perioprosthetic joint infections to understand the role of oral health for endoprostheses ‐ a narrative review
Authors: Schmalz Gerhard , Ziebolz Dirk 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAimsPeriprosthetic infections are a severe complication, causing enormous morbidity. The role of oral diseases in the development of such infections has been discussed controversially, showing a large discrepancy between prevalence of oral foci and infections of endoprostheses (EP). This narrative review aimed in explaining and discussing two hypotheses for the occurrence of oral disease‐associated EP infections.Methods and ResultsThe hypotheses include two mechanisms. (1) In case of an acute exacerbation during the early healingperiod after EP surgery (first 3 months). (2) Coincidental in the context of late EP infections (after successful initial healing), where an initial periprosthetic inflammation can be colonized secondarily by oral microorganisms. In both settings,oral foci are not primarily causative for EP infection, but represent an important reservoir for EP colonization, while the immunological conditions (locally and systemically) are crucial for the onset of an EP infection. As potential consequence, patients with risk factors should be orally rehabilitated prior to EP surgery. Usage of antibiotic prophylaxis during the first 3 months after EP implantation (initial healing period) might be considered, but has no reliable evidence. To avoid morbidity of patients, radical dental clearance is unfavorable for the respective patients.ConclusionAltogether, patients with EP should receive increased attention from the dental perspective alongside with dental preventive measures, because they show a high dental and periodontal treatment need.
For the good of the children—Life and ethical values when undergoing paternal alienation and involuntary loss of paternity

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackground and AimToday there is an aspiration and desire for fathers to be caring masculinities that build long‐term father‐child relationships and emotional presence with their children. Previous research shows that life changes where fathers are deprived of the opportunity for equal parenting and close contact with their children affect the fathers' lives and mental health. The aim of this caring science study is thereby to gain a deeper understanding of life and ethical values when undergoing paternal alienation and experiencing involuntary loss of paternity.Design, Research Methods, and ParticipantsThe study has a qualitative design. The data collection was carried out in 2021 through individual in‐depth interviews according to Kvale and Brinkmann. The five fathers who participated in the interviews had experiences of undergoing paternal alienation and involuntary loss of paternity. The interviews were analysed with a reflexive thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke.ResultsThree main themes emerged. Putting yourself aside includes forgetting one's own needs and prioritising the children's and being the best version of oneself for them. In playing with the cards you have been dealt lies an acceptance of life as it has become and also a responsibility not to let the grief take over, by creating new patterns for everyday life and holding up hope. Keeping your dignity as a human being includes being heard, affirmed and consoled, and a form of re‐awakening one's dignity as a human being.ConclusionIt is fundamental to understand the grief, longing and sacrifice that paternal alienation and involuntary loss of paternity cause human life and how every day can be a struggle to hold on to hope, find comfort and reconcile with the situation. The fundamental foundation that makes life worth living is love and responsibility for the good of the children.
Fertilizer technology based on optimized nitrogen release from urea‐loaded natural superabsorbent carriers

Published: July 2023

AbstractThere is a pressing need for advanced fertilizer application technologies that enhance crop yields, maintain soil health and reduce the environmental impact from agriculture. Here, we report on the optimization of nitrogen release profiles of urea‐loaded polysaccharide (starch) superabsorbent carriers, employing analytical techniques including UV–VIS, FTIR, EDX, SEM and GC‐FID for structural and phospholipid fatty acids PLFA analyses. We fitted existing kinetic models to the uptake and release profiles, providing a link between nitrogen release kinetics and carrier structural variables. The inclusion of zeolite microparticles in the starch‐based carriers accelerated the rate of nitrogen release and increasing the maximum amount released. Field tests of the technology on maize crops demonstrated improved plant parameters and enhanced the soil microbial population. These findings highlight the promise of urea‐loaded natural superabsorbent carriers as a sustainable alternative to core‐shell CRF fertilizers and urease inhibitors.
Students' perceptions of a UK physiotherapy student‐led clinic
Authors: Wynne Donna , Cooper Kay 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundStudent‐led clinics (SLCs) are a mode of delivery whereby students take responsibility for the delivery of a health service or intervention. SLCs for physiotherapy have a wide range of uses, including enhancement of learning, replacement of clinical placement hours and serving population and community needs. Evidence is emerging globally as to the outcomes of SLCs in physiotherapy, but little exists in the United Kingdom (UK) context. The purpose of this study was to explore student perceptions of running, leading and participating in a UK physiotherapy student‐led neurological rehabilitation clinic.MethodsA qualitative design using a focus group.FindingsFour themes were identified relating to students' perceptions of SLCs associated with the learning environment, self‐development, enhanced clinical skill development and reflections on experience at the SLC.DiscussionThe findings of this study suggest that physiotherapy SLCs in a UK context can contribute positively to student experience and skill development, particularly in relation to the learning environment, development of clinical skills, leadership and autonomy. Some aspects related to, for example, student induction and preparation could be further developed. Further research should explore if these findings are applicable in other countries where SLCs are less established.ConclusionFurther research in the UK and globally related to SLC models in different courses and across varying stages is required. Exploration of the SLC as a viable form of clinical placement experience is also warranted.

AbstractIntroductionMeasles, mumps, rubella, and even poliomyelitis outbreaks have recently perplexed infectious disease clinicians and epidemiologists globally due to the decline in vaccination coverage rates in children and adults. Measles and yellow fever (YF) have represented an increasing burden on the Brazilian public health system in recent decades. Both diseases are preventable by live‐attenuated viral vaccines (LAVV), which have restricted use in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients.MethodsAutologous and allogeneic HCT recipients returning for regular appointments at the outpatient clinic were invited to participate in the study. Patients transplanted for at least 2 years and with a printed copy of the vaccination record were included.ResultsWe assessed the vaccination records of 273 HCT recipients after the second year of HCT (193 allogeneic and 80 autologous) and observed lower compliance with the YF vaccine (58 patients, 21.2%) than with the measles vaccine (138 patients, 50.5%, p ≤ .0001). This is the largest published series of YF vaccination in HCT recipients so far. No severe adverse events occurred. Although expected, chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) did not affect the compliance with measles (p = .08) or YF vaccination (p = .7). Indeed, more allogeneic recipients received measles vaccine in comparison with autologous patients (p < .0001), suggesting that chronic GVHD was not the main reason for not being vaccinated. Children and allogeneic HCT were more likely to receive measles vaccine. Time elapsed from HCT >5 years favored both measles and YF vaccination.ConclusionA better understanding of the reasons for low compliance with LAVV is necessary to overcome this problem.

Intraspecific functional trait variation in weeds: A strategy in response to competition with crop and weed plants
Authors: Romillac Nicolas , Piutti Séverine , Slezack‐Deschaumes Sophie , Gaba Sabrina 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWeeds are a key component of agroecosystems and compete with crop plants. Crop‐weed competition has been widely investigated over the past decades, although how functional traits mediate these competitive interactions has rarely been explored. In this study, we measured functional traits in 4400 individual plants belonging to 32 weed species, growing among four crops differing in functional traits. We assessed the intraspecific variation in weed functional traits in response to competition with crops but also with the other weeds. We found that the most abundant weeds have a lower intraspecific trait variability than other weed species for leaf dry matter content (LDMC), but this pattern was not observed for canopy height (CH) nor for specific leaf area (SLA). We found that most of the weed species tended to grow taller and have higher LDMC values when crop CH and LDMC increased. We propose that these species display a ‘crop matching’ strategy, tending to match crop functional trait values in response to competition. We also found that weed‐weed competition affected weed functional traits, sometimes more strongly than crop‐weed competition. This study highlights that intraspecific trait variation is important to consider when investigating the processes underlying weed species community assembly, especially resource competition. Further studies are required to identify the source of intraspecific trait variation in weeds and the consequences for weed fitness.
High utility of Ultraconserved Elements (UCE) for disentangling the elusive relationships of tarantulas
Authors: Ortiz David 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAlthough tarantulas are a widespread, highly diversified, and charismatic spider group, our understanding of their evolution remains limited. A recent transcriptome‐based approach, including 16% of the nominal tarantula genera (25), provided the first robust phylogenetic hypothesis of deep tarantula relationships. However, transcriptomics has practical downsides, making it less than ideal for phylogenomic analyses. Ultraconserved Elements (UCE) sequencing, a cost‐effective alternative, allows for the simultaneous reading of hundreds of loci and utilizing samples with degraded DNA, including museum material, but its utility for resolving deep tarantula relationships remains to be tested. In this study, I recovered up to ~850 unique UCE loci from publicly available individual tarantula transcriptomes. Phylogenetic estimation using these loci resulted in topologies identical to those obtained from the published complete transcriptomic datasets, with limited phylogenetic uncertainty restricted to two branches in the tarantula tree of life. I conclude that UCE information has great potential for resolving at least moderate to deep tarantula relationships and that numerous UCE loci can be harvested from tarantula transcriptomic data. Finally, I provide databases of transcripts and UCE loci for the 27 currently available tarantula genera, facilitating their inclusion in future phylogenomic studies with deeper taxon coverage.
Modeling Method for Static Large Deflection Problem of Curved Planar Beams in Compliant Mechanisms Based on a Novel Governing Equation
Authors: Jiang Jingyu , Lin Song , Wang Hanchao , Modler Niels 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Slender beams serve as typical flexible components to transfer motion, force, and energy in compliant mechanisms. Therefore, the accurate and efficient kinetostatic modeling for the slender beams is highly needed in the synthesis and analysis of compliant mechanisms. Several impressive and great modeling methods have been completed by the pioneering researchers based on the governing equation of slender beams, which can solve the deflection of the beam while the beam-tip loads are known. However, parts of the beam-tip loads are unknown in some scenarios and the traditional governing equation becomes inefficient in these scenarios. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel modeling method for the compliant mechanism, which can solve the large deflection problem without iterative algorithm. In this research, a novel governing equation of slender beams has been established based on Castigliano’s principle and simplified by the differential geometry. In the proposed governing equation, the statically force equilibrium equations and geometric constraint equations between different slender beams can be established in the boundary conditions, therefore the model of compliant mechanisms can be solved directly even if parts of the beam’s tip loads and displacements are unknown. The proposed governing equation provides the deformed shapes and cross-sectional loads of the slender beams, which help the designer to check the mechanical interference and strength in the design process. The numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of proposed method.

Abstract
A microchannel heat sink integrated with a three-dimensional manifold using direct bonded copper (DBC) is promising for high power density electronics due to the combination of low thermal resistance and reduced pressure drop. However, this requires much progress on the fabrication and high-quality point-contact bonding processes of the microchannel substrate and three-dimensional manifold DBCs. In this study, we have developed processing techniques for surface preparations and high-quality point-contact solder bonding between the two DBC substrates. We utilized chemical polishing followed by electroless plating to prevent excess solder from blocking the microchannels. We performed a parametric study to investigate the impact of bonding time and surface roughness on the tensile strength of the bonding interface. The bonding strength increased from 1.8 MPa to 2.3 MPa as the bonding time increased from 10 to 30 min while reducing the surface roughness from Rz = 0.21 to 0.05 μm, resulting in increasing the bonding strength from 0.16 MPa to 2.07 MPa. We successfully tested the microcooler up to the inlet pressure of 70 kPa and pressure drop of 30 kPa, which translates to the tensile strength at the bonding point contacts, which remains well below the 2.30 MPa. We achieved the junction-to-coolant thermal resistance of 0.2 cm2 K/W at chip heat flux of 590 W/cm2. Thus, our study provides an important proof-of-concept demonstration toward enabling high power density modules for power conversion applications.

ABSTRACT

Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant
Escherichia coli
(ESC-R-
Ec
) is an urgent public health threat with sequence type clonal complex 131 (STc131), phylogroup B2 strains being particularly concerning as the dominant cause of ESC-R-
Ec
infections. To address the paucity of recent ESC-R-
Ec
molecular epidemiology data in the United States, we used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to fully characterize a large cohort of invasive ESC-R-
Ec
at a tertiary care cancer center in Houston, Texas, collected from 2016 to 2020. During the study time frame, there were 1,154 index
E. coli
bloodstream infections (BSIs) of which 389 (33.7%) were ESC-R-
Ec
. Using time series analyses, we identified a temporal dynamic of ESC-R-
Ec
distinct from ESC-susceptible
E. coli
(ESC-S-
Ec
), with cases peaking in the last 6 months of the calendar year. WGS of 297 ESC-R-
Ec
strains revealed that while STc131 strains accounted for ~45% of total BSIs, the proportion of STc131 strains remained stable across the study time frame with infection peaks driven by genetically heterogeneous ESC-R-
Ec
clonal complexes.
bla
CTX-M
variants accounted for most β-lactamases conferring the ESC-R phenotype (89%; 220/248 index ESC-R
-Ec
), and amplification of
bla
CTX-M
genes was widely detected in ESC-R-
Ec
strains, particularly in carbapenem non-susceptible, recurrent BSI strains.
Bla
CTX-M-55
was significantly enriched within phylogroup A strains, and we identified
bla
CTX-M-55
plasmid-to-chromosome transmission occurring across non-B2 strains. Our data provide important information regarding the current molecular epidemiology of invasive ESC-R-
Ec
infections at a large tertiary care cancer center and provide novel insights into the genetic basis of observed temporal variability for these clinically important pathogens.

IMPORTANCE

Given that
E. coli
is the leading cause of worldwide ESC-R
Enterobacterales
infections, we sought to assess the current molecular epidemiology of ESC-R-
Ec
using a WGS analysis of many BSIs over a 5-year period. We identified fluctuating temporal dynamics of ESC-R-
Ec
infections, which have also recently been identified in other geographical regions such as Israel. Our WGS data allowed us to visualize the stable nature of STc131 over the study period and demonstrate a limited but genetically diverse group of ESC-R-
Ec
clonal complexes are detected during infection peaks. Additionally, we provide a widespread assessment of β-lactamase gene copy number in ESC-R-
Ec
infections and delineate mechanisms by which such amplifications are achieved in a diverse array of ESC-R-
Ec
strains. These data suggest that serious ESC-R-
Ec
infections are driven by a diverse array of strains in our cohort and impacted by environmental factors suggesting that community-based monitoring could inform novel preventative measures.
