Cainiao collaborates with thousands of logistics partners to provide the most cost- and time-efficient delivery services. In this work, we develop a decision support system to select good fulfillment routes consisting of partners for newly created parcels. The system’s core optimization component contains a proportion algorithm based on solving an offline integer programming problem and an online algorithm based on dual values of the associated linear programming relaxation. The company has implemented the system to transport numerous parcels from China to other countries and regions, thus saving millions of dollars annually. History: This paper was refereed.
Smart Working: Work Flexibility Without Constraints
Authors: Angelici Marta , Profeta Paola 
Published: May 2023

Does removing constraints on the time and place of work benefit the utility of workers and firms? We design a randomized experiment of a sample of workers in a large Italian company; workers are randomly divided into a treated group that engages in flexible place and time of work (which we call “smart working”) one day per week for nine months and a control group that continues to work traditionally. By comparing the treated and control groups, we find causal evidence that the flexibility of smart working increases the productivity of workers. We estimate a decrease of one day of leave on average per month, and we exclude a significant decline in objective productivity in any month. We also find sizeable improvements in well-being and work–life balance, and we observe that men also increase the time dedicated to household and care activities. This paper was accepted by Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

Background/Aims In the last decade, simulation has become a key pedagogical tool in midwifery education. The purpose of this study was to undertake a scoping review of the literature to explore the integration and application of simulation in midwifery education. Methods A search was carried out using the online database PUBMED, for articles published between 2011 and 2021. After screening and quality assessment, n=44 articles were included in the review. Results The number of articles published on this topic increased from three published in 2011–2012 to seven published in 2020–2021. A total of 44 articles were included, and assessed based on their main aims and objectives. These were development and evaluation of a simulation, description and/or comparison of fidelity, description of a simulation via screens/remotely, exploring student midwives' experiences, the impact on student midwives, and assessing student midwives' satisfaction in a simulation. Conclusions This review explored the existing literature on simulation and midwifery education. It allows an assessment of the current state of midwifery education and opens up avenues for further development.
David L. Fried: bringing vision to atmospheric optics [Invited]
Authors: Fugate Robert Q. , Barchers Jeffrey D. , Ellerbroek Brent L. 
Published: May 2023

This paper recognizes the life work of David L. Fried. The goal is to put the relevance of his contributions to atmospheric optics in context from three perspectives: solutions to real world problems as seen by an experimentalist, insights of his analytical process as perceived by co-workers, and his role as a mentor to bright, young minds passionate about a deeper understanding of the governing physics. During his professional career of sixty years from 1962 to 2022, Fried published 106 refereed papers, cited over 6000 times. This paper reviews the impact of Fried’s work, especially addressing his contributions to ameliorating the effects of turbulence on optical system performance and the insight this provides into his analytical approach and interactions with colleagues.
A pilot randomized clinical trial of biomedical link with mental health in art therapy intervention programs for alcohol use disorder: Changes in NK cells, addiction biomarkers, electroencephalography, and MMPI-2 profiles
Authors: Kang Soo-Ji , Pei Chang-Zhu , Lee Da-Hye , Ha Jong-Eun , Baek Kwang-Hyun 
Published: May 2023

Objective
Alcohol intake is a major risk factor for various diseases. Elucidating alcohol use disorder (AUD) is important in preventing diseases and promoting health. We aimed to investigate the effect of art therapy on emotional (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 [MMPI-2]) and physical (natural killer [NK] cell count, expression of stress-associated proteins [SAP], and electroencephalography) changes in patients with AUD.

Methods
Participants were randomly divided into two groups (n = 35), with the experimental group undergoing art therapy involving weekly 60-min group therapy sessions for 10 weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using Ranked ANCOVA and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test. Western blotting was performed to analyze serum SAP levels.

Results
We observed an association between psychological mechanisms and stress proteins. There was an increased number of NK cells in the experimental group after the program. Moreover, compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant changes in SAP expression. Further, the experimental group showed a positive change in the MMPI-2 profile, as well as a decrease in depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and alcohol dependence.

Conclusions
Continuous psychological support could be applied as a stress-control program for preventing stress recurrence and post-discharge relapse. Our findings strengthen the link between biomedical science and mental health in rehabilitation treatment for AUD.
Effect of fetal malposition, primiparous, and premature rupture of membrane on Neonatal Near miss mediated by grade three meconium-stained amniotic fluids and duration of the active first stage of labor: Mediation analysis
Authors: Asaye Mengstu Melkamu , Gelaye Kassahun Alemu , Matebe Yohannes Hailu , Lindgren Helena , Erlandsson Kerstin 
Published: May 2023

Background
In many low-income countries, including Ethiopia, neonatal mortality remains a major concern. For every newborn that dies, many more neonates survived (near-miss neonates) the first 28 days after birth from life-threatening conditions. The generation of evidence on neonatal near-miss determinants could be a critical step in reducing neonatal mortality rates. However, studies causal pathway determinants are limited in Ethiopia. This study aimed to investigate the Neonatal Near-miss determinants in public health hospitals in Amhara Regional State, northwest Ethiopia.

Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1277 mother-newborn pairs at six hospitals between July 2021 and January 2022. A validated interviewer-administered questionnaire and a review of medical records were used to collect data. Data were entered into Epi-Info version 7.1.2 and exported to STATA version 16 in California, America for analysis. The paths from exposure variables to Neonatal Near-Miss via mediators were examined using multiple logistic regression analysis. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and ß-coefficients were calculated and reported with a 95% confidence interval and a p-value of 0.05.

Results
The proportion of neonatal near-misses was 28.6% (365/1277) (95% CI: 26–31%). Women who could not read and write (AOR = 1.67,95%CI:1.14–2.47), being primiparous (AOR = 2.48,95% CI:1.63–3.79), pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR = 2.10,95% CI:1.49–2.95),being referred from other health facilities (AOR = 2.28,95% CI:1.88–3.29), premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 1.47,95% CI:1.09–1.98), and fetal malposition (AOR = 1.89,95% CI:1.14–3.16) were associated with Neonatal Near-miss. Grade III meconium stained amniotic fluid partially mediated the relationship between primiparous (ß = 0.517), fetal malposition (ß = 0.526), pregnant women referred from other health facilities (ß = 0.948) and Neonatal Near-Miss at P-value < 0.01. Duration of the active first stage of labour partially mediated the relationship between primiparous (ß = -0.345), fetal malposition (ß = -0.656), premature rupture of membranes (ß = -0.550) and Neonatal Near-Miss at P- value <0.01.It had also a significant indirect effect (ß = 0.581, P<0.001) on NNM with variables (primiparous, fetal malposition, and premature rupture of membranes).

Conclusions
The relationship between fetal malposition, primiparous, referred from other health facilities, premature rupture of membrane, and Neonatal Near miss were partially mediated by grade III meconium stained amniotic fluid and duration of the active first stage of labour. Early diagnosis of these potential danger signs and appropriate intervention could be of supreme importance in reducing NNM.

Published: May 2023

Background
Mental disorders are common in people living with HIV (PLHIV) but they are often unrecognized and untreated. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the already limited mental health services in low resource countries such as Uganda, and yet the extent to which the COVID-19 mitigation measures have affected the mental health of PLHIV is not fully known. We aimed to determine the burden of depression, suicidality, substance use and associated factors among adult PLHIV who were seeking care at two HIV clinics in northern and southwestern Uganda.

Methods
We conducted a phenomenological qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional study among 431 PLHIV to determine the burden of depression, suicidality and substance-use disorders at two HIV clinics, at Lira Regional Referral Hospital and Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in northern and southwestern Uganda respectively, during the COVID-19 lockdown. We used the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to assess for depression and suicidality, and the Michigan Assessment-Screening Test for Alcohol and drugs (MAST-AD) to assess for substance use disorder. We conducted descriptive statistics analysis to determine the burden of the disorders, and logistic regression to determine the associated factors. For the qualitative method we conducted in-depth interviews with 30 PLHIV and did thematic analysis.

Results
Of the 431 PLHIV surveyed, mean age was 40.31 ± 12.20 years; 53.1% (n = 229) had depression; 22.0% (n = 95) had suicidality; and 15.1% (n = 65) had substance-use disorder. Female gender (PR = 1.073, 95%CI 1.004–1.148, P = 0.038), lack of formal education (PR = 1.197, 95% CI 1.057–1.357, P = 0.005), substance-use disorder (PR = 0.924, 95%CI 0.859–0.994, P = 0.034) and suicidality (PR = 0.757, 95%CI 0.722–0.794, p = 0.000) were associated with depression after adjusting for confounders. Further analysis showed that being female (PR = 0.843, 95% CI 0.787–0.903, P = 0.000*) and having depression (PR = 0.927, 95% CI 0.876–0.981, P = 0.009) and owning a large business (PR = 0.886, 95% CI 0.834–0.941, p = 0.000*) were significantly associated with having a substance-use disorder. Only depression was independently associated with suicidality after adjusting for confounding factors (PR 0.108, 95%CI 0.054–0.218, p = 0.000*). For the qualitative results, there were three apriori themes: a) Burden of depression, b) substance-use, and c) suicidality among the PLHIV during the COVID-19 containment measures.

Conclusion
There was high prevalence of depression, suicidality and substance-use disorder in adult PLHIV in Uganda during the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdown measures. The three mental health problems seem to have bidirectional relationships and gender has a lot of contribution to the relationships. Interventions aimed at any of the disorders should consider these bidirectional relationships.
Greek consumers attitudes and motivations against PDO/PGI Agrifoods
Authors: Likudis Z. , Dafni M-F. , Sdralli D. , Costarelli V. , Αpostolopoulos C. 
Published: May 2023

The study was set out to investigate the factors affecting consumers’ purchasing attitudes and their intention to buy PDO/PGI food products. A total of 615 consumers took part in the study from the municipality of Attica, Greece. The majority of the respondents consider PDO/PGI products of better quality and higher safety than the conventional ones, and they are also able to identify them. However, respondents are unsure whether these products are superior in terms of health benefits, less expensive and tastier than the conventional ones. Furthermore, consumers, who pay attention to the origin, the health claims, the label of a product, and have a high level of consumer awareness, are more likely to buy PDOs/ PGIs. Understanding the main factors that influence consumers to purchase PDO/PGI products, is a vital step towards the promotion of special labeled agri-foodstuffs, which could contribute to the local sustainable development.
Giardia lamblia Infection in a Duodenal Duplication Cyst as a Potential Cause of Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis
Authors: Ponz de Leon Pisani Ruggero , Arcidiacono Paolo Giorgio , Laghi Andrea , Doglioni Claudio , Capurso Gabriele , Archibugi Livia 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Giardia lamblia is a known etiological factor of a common infectious diarrhea. In rare cases, this parasite was found to be involved in the development of pancreatic and biliary tract diseases, both inflammatory and neoplastic. We present a case of a 64-year-old man known for a duodenal duplication cyst since 2013, with episodes of recurrent acute pancreatitis since 2017. He underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of the duplication cyst, with evidence of G. lamblia infection. After treatment of giardiasis and evidence of parasite eradication, the episodes of recurrent acute pancreatitis ceased, following an ex adiuvantibus criterium.
The Perfect Storm: An Unusual Cause of Intestinal Perforation in a Solid Organ Transplant Patient
Authors: Joseph Karan , Aintabi Daniel , Choi Eun-Young K. , Berinstein Jeffrey A. 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
Immunosuppressants are used to prevent rejection in transplant patients. Many of these medications commonly cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. We present a 38-year-old kidney and pancreas transplant recipient who had severe ulceration throughout his GI tract leading to perforations of his stomach and cecum, despite early discontinuation of mycophenolate mofetil—the most likely culprit medication. The ongoing injury observed despite holding mycophenolate suggests a possible compounding effect of tacrolimus and everolimus. Both these agents are underrepresented causes of GI injury. This perfect storm of agents may have accounted for the severity and extensive presentation observed in our patient.

AbstractPrevious research has shown that ≤60 min hypoxic exposure improves subsequent glycaemic control, but the optimal level of hypoxia is unknown and data are lacking from individuals with overweight. We undertook a cross‐over pilot feasibility study investigating the effect of 60‐min prior resting exposure to different inspired oxygen fractions (CON FIO2 = 0.209; HIGH FIO2 = 0.155; VHIGH FIO2 = 0.125) on glycaemic control, insulin sensitivity, and oxidative stress during a subsequent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in males with overweight (mean (SD) BMI = 27.6 (1.3) kg/m2; n = 12). Feasibility was defined by exceeding predefined withdrawal criteria for peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), partial pressure of end‐tidal oxygen or carbon dioxide and acute mountain sickness (AMS), and dyspnoea symptomology. Hypoxia reduced SpO2 in a stepwise manner (CON = 97(1)%; HIGH = 91(1)%; VHIGH = 81(3)%, p < 0.001), but did not affect peak plasma glucose concentration (CON = 7.5(1.8) mmol∙L−1; HIGH = 7.7(1.1) mmol∙L−1; VHIGH = 7.7(1.1) mmol∙L−1; p = 0.777; η2 = 0.013), plasma glucose area under the curve, insulin sensitivity, or metabolic clearance rate of glucose (p > 0.05). We observed no between‐conditions differences in oxidative stress (p > 0.05), but dyspnoea and AMS symptoms increased in VHIGH (p < 0.05), with one participant meeting the withdrawal criteria. Acute HIGH or VHIGH exposure prior to an OGTT does not influence glucose homeostasis in males with overweight, but VHIGH is associated with adverse symptomology and reduced feasibility.
Occupational Licensing and Skills Mismatches Among Immigrants and Natives in the United States
Authors: Tani Massimiliano 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This paper studies the effect of occupational licensing on the education-occupation mismatches and the logarithm of hourly wages of natives and immigrants in the United States using longitudinal data from the 2014 sample of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). On average, licensing reduces the skills mismatch and raises hourly wages among natives but not among immigrants. Over time there is only minimal convergence between the outcomes experienced by licensed natives and immigrants, highlighting that licensing does not produce uniform benefits, by immigrant status. Rather, it appears to institutionalize substantive differences in the quality of the skill matches and hourly pay of native and immigrant licensed workers and professionals.

Allegory and Ambiguity in Late Antique Canon Lists
Authors: Ophoff Jesse 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn the mid-sixth century, Cassiodorus wrote hisInstitutiones Divinarum et Saecularium Litterarumto instruct the monks at Vivarium in their scribal work of collecting, codifying, and copying the Christian Scriptures, along with a vast array of Latin Christian literature. His text remained an essential handbook for monks and nuns working as scribes for centuries. Within it, he includes three authoritative canon lists which he takes from Jerome, Augustine, and the Septuagint. To modern scholars these lists often read as nonsense: he seems entirely ambivalent towards which books are “in” or “out” of the canon, he appears unfaithful to his source material, and none of these lists reflects his own system for listing or grouping the Scriptures. What then is the point of them? The answer lies in the importance that Cassiodorus, and other late antique authors, place on numbers as sources of allegorical interpretation in the search for higher meaning. Through a process of “holy arithmetic”, Cassiodorus presents what he claims is an inner logic of these authoritative canon lists, bringing to light three different hermeneutical lenses for understanding what the Scriptures are. As allegories, those lenses can coexist in a complementary fashion, aiding Cassiodorus in his larger mission to codify a Latin Christian tradition. Examining Cassiodorus’s approach to listing the canon and comparing it to modern scholarship on the subject bring into focus some of the key ways in which our own assumptions and methods differ from those of our late antique sources. It also opens up new possibilities for interrogating these sources.
Current status of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) in China: a 10-year comprehensive overview

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy; a disease involving the peripheral nervous system which is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis worldwide. So far, it is still lack of a comprehensive overview and understanding of the national epidemiological, clinical characteristics, and the risk factors of GBS in China, as well as differences between China and other countries and regions in these respects. With the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an epidemiological or phenotypic association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and GBS has attracted great attention. In this review, we outlined the current clinical data of GBS in China by retrieving literature, extracting and synthesizing the data of GBS in China from 2010 to 2021. Besides, we compared the characteristics of epidemiology, preceding events and clinical profiles of GBS between China and other countries and regions. Furthermore, in addition to conventional intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasma exchange (PE) therapy, the potential therapeutic effects with novel medications in GBS, such as complement inhibitors, etc., have become the research focus in treatments. We found that epidemiological and clinical findings of GBS in China are approximately consistent with those in the International GBS Outcome Study (IGOS) cohort. We provided an overall picture of the present clinical status of GBS in China and summarized the global research progress of GBS, aiming to further understand the characteristics of GBS and improve the future work of GBS worldwide, especially in countries with the middle and low incomes.
