Subloading-Overstress Model: Unified Constitutive Equation for Elasto-Plastic and Elasto-Viscoplastic Deformations Under Monotonic and Cyclic Loadings
Authors: Hashiguchi Koichi , Ueno Masami , Anjiki Takuya 
Published: March 2023

AbstractVarious elasto-plastic models for the rate-independent deformation, various elasto-viscoplastic models for the rate-dependent deformation and their combinations have been proposed during a long time more than one or more centuries. Firstly, the history of the development of the elastoplasticiy and the elasto-viscoplasticity is reviewed comprehensively. Unfortunately, each of these models possesses their own drawbacks and limitations. The unified constitutive equation of the elasto-plastic and the elasto-viscoplastic deformations is provided by incorporating the subloading surface model into the overstress model in this article, which is capable of describing the monotonic and the cyclic loadings at the general rate ranging from the quasi-static to the impact loading. The validity of the unified model is verified by the comparison with various test data of metals under various loading conditions. Consequently, the elastoplastic constitutive equation can be disused hereinafter, while it is expressed by the cumbersome formulation including the complicated plastic modulus but limited to the description of the purely static deformation which is not induced actually.

AbstractOlive oil production generates a large amount of wastewater called olive mill wastewater. This paper presents the study of the effect of transmembrane pressure and cross flow velocity on the decrease in permeate flux of different ultrafiltration membranes (material and pore size) when treating a two-phase olive mill wastewater (olive oil washing wastewater). Both semi-empirical models (Hermia models adapted to tangential filtration, combined model, and series resistance model), as well as statistical and machine learning methods (response surface methodology and artificial neural networks), were studied. Regarding the Hermia model, despite the good fit, the main drawback is that it does not consider the possibility that these mechanisms occur simultaneously in the same process. According to the accuracy of the fit of the models, in terms of R2 and SD, both the series resistance model and the combined model were able to represent the experimental data well. This indicates that both cake layer formation and pore blockage contributed to membrane fouling. The inorganic membranes showed a greater tendency to irreversible fouling, with higher values of the Ra/RT (adsorption/total resistance) ratio. Response surface methodology ANOVA showed that both cross flow velocity and transmembrane pressure are significant variables with respect to permeate flux for all membranes studied. Regarding artificial neural networks, the tansig function presented better results than the selu function, all presenting high R2, ranging from 0.96 to 0.99. However, the comparison of all the analyzed models showed that depending on the membrane, one model fits better than the others. Finally, through this work, it was possible to provide a better understanding of the data modelling of different ultrafiltration membranes used for the treatment of olive mill wastewater.
“What does not kill you… mutates and tries again.” A study on personality determinants of post-traumatic growth during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: March 2023

AbstractIntroduction. The COVID-19 pandemic was recognized as a collective trauma and as a major threat to mental health. Recent literature focused on the stress symptomatology or post-traumatic stress disorder associated to the COVID-19 exposure. The concept that people have a natural inclination toward growth, even under stressful and threatening events, gathered less attention. Previous research has analyzed antecedents of post-traumatic growth (PTG) with non-conclusive results. Methods. The present research aimed at including findings on PTG from personality traits, i.e., sense of control and self-mastery, and distal condition of nurturance and support received by others, i.e., cognitive and affective well-being. Analyses were based on 4934 interviews with adults (Mage = 57.81 years, 55.5% women) from the Swiss Household Panel study. Results. Relationships over time emerged between sense of control and self-mastery on PTG and worries, measured after two years, via the mediation of cognitive and affective well-being. Conclusion. Results come from a large study in a design seldom employed in this type of research and can inform both research and interventions.
Creativity as the key to success—a plea for more guts in social marketing communication
Authors: Vilmar Answin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDespite numerous campaigns, the efforts made not only to inform people of the Strategic Development Goals (SDGs) but also to persuade them to contribute individually to the task of achieving these goals have not yet been sufficient. Namely, awareness of the SDGs remains very low among broad sections of the population. In addition, the statements of these goals are not understood in many cases (World Economic Forum 2020). Finally, behavioural changes based on relevant insights have hitherto been insufficient. This situation is also reflected in the UN report, which attests to the insufficient progress made with regard to achieving the SDGs in most countries and notes that in 2020 and 2021, the SDG Index Score even stagnated (Sachs et al., 2022). However, when one’s back is literally against the wall and the achievement of the SDGs within the establish timeframe seems to be becoming increasingly unlikely, the promotion of the courage necessary to find new creative solutions can represent an escape from this perceived standstill.
Schumpeter meets Goldilocks: the scarring effects of firm destruction
Authors: González Beatriz , Moral-Benito Enrique , Soler Isabel 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper uncovers an inverted U-shaped relationship between firm exit and total factor productivity (TFP) growth using Spanish data. At low levels of firm exit, Schumpeterian cleansing effects dominate and the effect of firm destruction on TFP is positive, but when exit rates are very high, this effect turns negative. In order to rationalize this finding, we build on Asturias et al. (Firm entry and exit and aggregate growth, Technical report, National Bureau of Economic Research, 2017) and develop a model of firm dynamics with exit spillovers calibrated to match the nonlinearity found in the data. This reduced-form spillover captures amplification effects from very high destruction rates that might force viable firms to exit, for example, due to disruptions in the production network and a generalized contraction in credit supply. Armed with the calibrated model, we perform counterfactual scenarios depending on the severity of the shock to firm’s outcomes. We find that when the shock is mild and firm destruction rates at impact are similar to those observed during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), TFP growth increases, and the recovery is faster. However, when the shock is severe and firm exit is well above that of the GFC, TFP growth decreases, since high-efficiency firms are forced out of the market, which makes the recovery much slower.
Zwischen Wissen und Handeln – eine qualitative Studie zu Sachbilderbüchern für Kinder über Umwelt und Klima
Authors: Knauf Marcus 
Published: March 2023

ZusammenfassungDie qualitative Studie geht der Frage nach, wie die Themen Umwelt und Klima in Sachbilderbüchern für Kinder präsentiert werden. Die große Stärke der Bilderbücher für einen Einsatz in Schule und Kita liegt darin, dass sie eine Brücke von der Erfahrungswelt der Kinder zur abstrakteren Welt der Natur- und Umweltwissenschaften schlagen können. Die Bilderbücher sind dadurch geprägt, dass sie an die Verantwortung der Kinder appellieren, um sie so zu einem umweltbewussten Handeln zu motivieren. Die Veränderung des Verhaltens der Kinder und ihrer Familien wird als zentrale Lösung für die beschriebenen Probleme beschrieben. Suffizienz ist dabei die wichtigste Strategie; die Darstellung möglicher technischer Innovationen hingegen fehlt fast vollkommen. Zahlreiche Bücher gehen über die Darstellung von Information und Wissen deutlich hinaus und verlassen den neutralen Rahmen der Naturwissenschaften. Die untersuchten Sachbilderbücher haben insgesamt einen stark normativen Charakter.
Il follow-up a lungo termine della chirurgia metabolica
Authors: Capoccia Danila 
Published: March 2023

SommarioLa chirurgia metabolica è oggi considerata la terapia a lungo termine più efficace per la cura dell’obesità e il suo utilizzo è raccomandato dalle linee guida internazionali. I pazienti sottoposti a intervento bariatrico possono andare incontro a nuovi specifici problemi: le abitudini alimentari devono adattarsi alla nuova fisiologia gastrointestinale; possono insorgere deficit nutrizionali a seconda del tipo di procedura; può cambiare la gestione di altre malattie associate all’obesità; durante la gravidanza possono insorgere problemi specifici; i pazienti possono sperimentare alcune difficoltà psicologiche nell’adattarsi ai cambiamenti del comportamento alimentare e dell’immagine corporea; il recupero del peso necessita di programmi di prevenzione e gestione. Per tutte queste ragioni, il paziente sottoposto a chirurgia metabolica necessita di una gestione multidisciplinare a lungo termine.

Abstract

Objectives:
We evaluated the added value of infection control-guided, on demand, and locally performed severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomic sequencing to support outbreak investigation and control in acute-care settings.

Design and setting:
This 18-month prospective molecular epidemiology study was conducted at a tertiary-care hospital in Montreal, Canada. When nosocomial transmission was suspected by local infection control, viral genomic sequencing was performed locally for all putative outbreak cases. Molecular and conventional epidemiology data were correlated on a just-in-time basis to improve understanding of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission and reinforce or adapt control measures.

Results:
Between April 2020 and October 2021, 6 outbreaks including 59 nosocomial infections (per the epidemiological definition) were investigated. Genomic data supported 7 distinct transmission clusters involving 6 patients and 26 healthcare workers. We identified multiple distinct modes of transmission, which led to reinforcement and adaptation of infection control measures. Molecular epidemiology data also refuted (n = 14) suspected transmission events in favor of community acquired but institutionally clustered cases.

Conclusion:
SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing can refute or strengthen transmission hypotheses from conventional nosocomial epidemiological investigations, and guide implementation of setting-specific control strategies. Our study represents a template for prospective, on site, outbreak-focused SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. This approach may become increasingly relevant in a COVID-19 endemic state where systematic sequencing within centralized surveillance programs is not available.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
A live, virtual conference, “Driving Responsible Conduct of Research during a Pandemic,” was held in April 2021, 13 months after the COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered the conduct of clinical research across the USA. New York was an early epicenter of the US pandemic, highlighting preexisting problems in clinical research and allowing us to assess lessons learned and to identify best practices for the future. Risks and opportunities were categorized broadly into three areas, protecting the welfare and safety of human subjects, ensuring trust in science and medicine, and implementing efficient, ethical, and compliant clinical research. Analysis of conference proceedings, and recent publications, shows a need for preparedness that is more effective, robust partnerships, and organizational systems and standards to strengthen the ethical and responsible conduct of research.
Uncertain Cures: The Medical Marketplace in Pahlavi Iran
Authors: Ahmadi Shaherzad 
Published: March 2023

AbstractHistorians of Pahlavi Iran have demonstrated that physicians, pharmacists, dentists, and nurses were encouraged by early nation-builders to civilize patients and shepherd the masses into modernity. Medicine, however, was not only a top-down affair. Medical professionals maintained a dialogue with their patients, cognizant of the cultural mores of local communities and the threat of medical malpractice lawsuits. In fact, medicine, far from a universal science, was highly localized, inflected by traditional curatives (like herbs and spices), shortages of medical equipment and drugs, and local policing to safeguard patient rights. Through social history, scholars may examine the dialectic between patient and provider, which proved fundamental to the practice of modern medicine in Pahlavi Iran.

AbstractSeveral countries maintain universal health coverage, which implies responsibility to organize delivery formats of healthcare services and products for citizens. In Brazil, the health system has a principle of universal access for more than 30 years, but many deficiencies remain and the country observes a day practice for those seeking judicial decisions to determine provision of healthcare.

Federalism’s Fallacy at the Forefront of Public Health Law
Authors: Hodge James G. , Ghaith Summer , Krumholz Lauren 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAmid undulating conceptions of the role and prowess of federalism emerges its central constitutional role: protecting American liberties against unwarranted governmental intrusions. To the extent that federalism is used as a guise for withdrawing fundamental rights to abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, individual rights are sacrificed in contravention of constitutional structural norms.
The Social Determinants of Health, Health Disparities, and Health Justice
Authors: Yearby Ruqaiijah 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAlthough the federal government and several state governments have recognized that structural discrimination limits less privileged groups’ ability to be healthy, the measures adopted to eliminate health disparities do not address structural discrimination. Historical and modern-day structural discrimination in employment has limited racial and ethnic minority individuals’ economic conditions by segregating them to low wage jobs that lack benefits, which has been associated with health disparities. Health justice provides a community-driven approach to transform the government’s efforts to eliminate health disparities, by acknowledging the problem of structural discrimination; empowering less privileged groups to create and implement structural change; and providing support to redress harm.
The curvilinear impact of perceived organizational politics on employee voice behavior: Mediating role of territoriality
Authors: Zhou Hao , Liu Qin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Organizational context has an important influence on voice behavior. This study investigates the curvilinear relationship between perceived organizational politics (POP) – an inevitable organizational context factor – and employee voice behavior through a conservation of resources theory lens, considering the curvilinear mediating role of territoriality. A three-wave survey of 227 full-time employees revealed that (1) POP is positively associated with territoriality, (2) territoriality has U-shaped relationships with both promotive and prohibitive voice, that is, when territoriality ranges from low to moderate, promotive/prohibitive voice behavior gradually decreases. When territoriality ranges from moderate to high, promotive/prohibitive voice behavior gradually increases and (3) territoriality acts as a curvilinear mediator between POP and promotive/prohibitive voice behavior. These findings make a significant contribution to POP literature and voice behavior literature by identifying territoriality as a mediator between these organizational factors. Implications for practice are also discussed.
Typhlocybinae leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) from Eocene Rovno amber reveal a transition in wing venation and a defensive adaptation
Authors: Dietrich Christopher H. , Simutnik Serguei A. , Perkovsky Evgeny E. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe first fossil Typhlocybinae inclusions from Eocene Rovno amber are described and illustrated. They include two new monotypic genera of the extinct tribe Protodikraneurini, Retrorsotettix n. gen. with type species R. vlaskini n. sp. and Protoparallaxis n. gen. with type species P. clavatus n. sp. Also described and illustrated are two new monotypic genera of the extant tribe Dikraneurini, Eodikraneura n. gen. with type species E. obscura n. sp. and Rovnodikra n. gen. with type species Rovnodikra longipes n. sp. Retrorsotettix is the oldest leafhopper known to exhibit a false eyespot and false leg markings on the forewing, representing an early acquisition of a defensive strategy against visual predators. Appearance of a small insect with false eyespots in the Eocene fossil record may reflect increased pressure by visual predators, especially crown ornithuromorph insectivorous birds. Such birds and small insect prey with false eyespots remain unknown in the Cretaceous. Eodikraneura exhibits a unique condition of the hind wing venation in which radius posterior and media anterior veins are confluent for a short distance but then diverge before separately reaching the submarginal vein. This presumably represents a morphological transition between the Protodikraneurini, in which hind-wing radius posterior and media anterior veins are completely separate and connected by a radial-medial crossvein, and Dikraneurini, in which radius posterior and media anterior veins are completely confluent distally. A key to genera of Protodikraneurini is provided.UUID: http://zoobank.org/f15e6f80-9708-4f5e-89a3-705f9d340a77
Choosing Beyond Compliance Over Dormancy: Corporate Response to India's Mandatory CSR Expenditure Law
Authors: Jain Shalini , Desai Naman , Pingali Viswanath , Tripathy Arindam 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTThis article examines whether firms engaged in high levels of voluntary CSR (corporate social responsibility) alter their strategic choices in response to detrimental public policy – specifically India's Companies Act (2013) that mandates qualifying firms to spend 2% of their three-year average net profits on CSR. Drawing on the concept of organizational dormancy, we argue that firm capabilities, political awareness, exposure to political pluralism, and ownership identity may explain choice heterogeneity among these firms. Our key and non-intuitive finding is that even in the absence of discretionary choice in determining optimal CSR expenditure, firms are less likely to choose dormancy and instead embrace and even surpass the stipulations of the law in their CSR contributions. Also, politically aware firms are more likely to opt for dormancy over compliance. Managerial and policy implications are discussed.
Polypharmacy and precision medicine

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Precision medicine is an approach to maximise the effectiveness of disease treatment and prevention and minimise harm from medications by considering relevant demographic, clinical, genomic and environmental factors in making treatment decisions. Precision medicine is complex, even for decisions about single drugs for single diseases, as it requires expert consideration of multiple measurable factors that affect pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and many patient-specific variables. Given the increasing number of patients with multiple conditions and medications, there is a need to apply lessons learned from precision medicine in monotherapy and single disease management to optimise polypharmacy. However, precision medicine for optimisation of polypharmacy is particularly challenging because of the vast number of interacting factors that influence drug use and response. In this narrative review, we aim to provide and apply the latest research findings to achieve precision medicine in the context of polypharmacy. Specifically, this review aims to (1) summarise challenges in achieving precision medicine specific to polypharmacy; (2) synthesise the current approaches to precision medicine in polypharmacy; (3) provide a summary of the literature in the field of prediction of unknown drug–drug interactions (DDI) and (4) propose a novel approach to provide precision medicine for patients with polypharmacy. For our proposed model to be implemented in routine clinical practice, a comprehensive intervention bundle needs to be integrated into the electronic medical record using bioinformatic approaches on a wide range of data to predict the effects of polypharmacy regimens on an individual. In addition, clinicians need to be trained to interpret the results of data from sources including pharmacogenomic testing, DDI prediction and physiological-pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling to inform their medication reviews. Future studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this model and to test generalisability so that it can be implemented at scale, aiming to improve outcomes in people with polypharmacy.
