Prestressing wire breakage monitoring using sound event detection
Authors: Farhadi Sasan , Corrado Mauro , Borla Oscar , Ventura Giulio 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDetecting prestressed wire breakage in concrete bridges is essential for ensuring safety and longevity and preventing catastrophic failures. This study proposes a novel approach for wire breakage detection using Mel‐frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and back‐propagation neural network (BPNN). Experimental data from two bridges in Italy were acquired to train and test the models. To overcome the limited availability of real‐world training data, data augmentation techniques were employed to increase the data set size, enhancing the capability of the models and preventing over‐fitting problems. The proposed method uses MFCCs to extract features from acoustic emission signals produced by wire breakage, which are then classified by the BPNN. The results show that the proposed method can detect and classify sound events effectively, demonstrating the promising potential of BPNN for real‐time monitoring and diagnosis of bridges. The significance of this work lies in its contribution to improving bridge safety and preventing catastrophic failures. The combination of MFCCs and BPNN offers a new approach to wire breakage detection, while the use of real‐world data and data augmentation techniques are significant contributions to overcoming the limited availability of training data. The proposed method has the potential to be a generalized and robust model for real‐time monitoring of bridges, ultimately leading to safer and longer‐lasting infrastructure.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundAlthough research on postoperative pain has increased, postoperative pain management is still a problem today. Most patients experience moderate to severe pain after cardiac surgery. As a result of pain, patients show inefficient adaptation behaviour in physiologic, role function, self‐concept, and interdependence modes.AimThis study was conducted to examine the pain perceptions of intensive care patients after cardiac surgery according to Roy's Adaptation Model (RAM).Study DesignA qualitative design with a phenomenological approach was used in the study. The research data were collected by using a “descriptive information form”, a “semi‐structured interview form”, and the “numerical rating scale” through the “in‐depth interview method”. The study sample consisted of 16 patients who were aged 18 years or older, had undergone cardiac surgery, experienced pain post‐operatively in the intensive care unit at least once, and had intensive care experience. Patients with neuropathic or chronic pain or neurological or psychiatric disorders were not included in the study. Data were classified into physiologic, self‐concept, and interdependence modes according to RAM.ResultsThe themes and sub‐themes that emerged included physiologic modes (pain responses), self‐concept modes (pain self‐management), role‐function modes (effects of pain), and interdependence modes (support systems in pain).ConclusionsThe results of our study can enable patients and nurses to communicate effectively about pain. In future studies, the effect of model‐based pain management programs on cardiac surgery patients can be investigated.Relevance to Clinical PracticeExamining the pain perceptions of intensive care patients after cardiac surgery according to RAM will guide the improvement and development of pain management. It is thought that the model addresses intensive care patients experiencing pain holistically.

Published: August 2023

AbstractObjectivesThis scoping review aims to provide an overview of the research and potential applications of carbon dots (CDs) for oral health purposes.DesignSystematic literature searches were performed on PubMed and Web of Science databases (up to February 2023). Two co‐authors selected the published works independently and extracted the data in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Studies with the application of CDs for oral health purposes were included.ResultsAmong 152 articles, 19 articles were finally selected. Eight studies investigated the anti‐microbial effects of CDs against, for example, oral pathogens, eight studies explored the applicability of CDs in relation to oral cancer, and three studies investigated CDs in relation to cell differentiation and tissue regeneration in oral health. The studies showed the promising potential of CDs in oral health, particularly for inducing bacterial killing by increasing reactive oxygen species, killing oral cancer cells via photodynamic therapeutic effects, and inducing dental pulp and periodontal bone regeneration.ConclusionThe findings show that CDs have the potential to be utilized in the future for various oral health purposes. Besides, these results underline the broad‐spectrum applicability of CDs, crossing the borders of oral health.

Published: August 2023

AbstractObjectivesThere is little knowledge about oxidative stress‐induced senescence involvement in apical periodontitis. Here, we explored its molecular mechanism in periapical lesions.MethodsTen cases of radicular cysts and five cases of periapical granulomas were randomly selected. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to detect the expression and correlation between Senescence‐associated factor polymerase I and transcript release factor (PTRF) and Akt/FoxO1 signaling. Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) pretreated with LY294002 were exposed to H2O2‐induced oxidative stress conditions and then cell proliferation, senescence, apoptosis, and associated signaling were evaluated by EdU labeling, β‐galactosidase assay, RT‐qPCR, and western blot analysis, respectively.ResultsPolymerase I and transcript release factor and Akt/FoxO1 signaling were more frequently expressed in the radicular cyst than in periapical granulomas. Notably, cells in radicular cysts showed Akt activation, FoxO1 phosphorylation, and cytoplasmic translocation. In vitro, prominent H2O2‐induced senescence was observed in hPDLCs. LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, attenuated the expression levels of senescence (Klotho, P16INK4), apoptosis (Bad, Fas), phosphorylated Akt, and phosphorylated FoxO1; however, did not affect cell proliferation.ConclusionsOur data indicated that senescence is present in clinical periapical lesions, and Akt/FoxO1 signaling is involved in the H2O2‐induced cellular senescence, which could serve as a potential therapeutic target.

AbstractPurposeNegative symptoms are a persistent, yet under‐explored problem in psychosis. Disturbances in metacognition are a potential causal factor in negative symptom development and maintenance. This meta‐analysis uses individual participant data (IPD) from existing research to assess the relationship between negative symptoms and metacognition treated as summed scores and domains.MethodsData sets containing individuals with negative symptoms and metacognition data, aged 16+ with psychosis, were identified according to pre‐specific parameters. IPD integrity and completeness were checked and data were synthesized in two‐stage meta‐analyses of each negative symptoms cluster compared with metacognition in seemingly unrelated regression using restricted maximum likelihood estimation. Planned and exploratory sensitivity analyses were also conducted.ResultsThirty‐three eligible data sets were identified with 21 with sufficient similarity and availability to be included in meta‐analyses, corresponding to 1301 participants. The strongest relationships observed were between summed scores of negative symptoms and metacognition. Metacognitive domains of self‐reflectivity and understanding others' minds, and expressive negative symptoms emerged as significant in some meta‐analyses. The uncertainty of several effect estimates increased significantly when controlling for covariates.ConclusionsThis robust meta‐analysis highlights the impact of using summed versus domain‐specific scores of metacognition and negative symptoms, and relationships are not as clear‐cut as once believed. Findings support arguments for further differentiation of negative symptom profiles and continued granular exploration of the relationship between metacognition and negative symptoms.
Diversity and inclusion in relationship science: Reflections as an International Section Peer Mentor for Personal Relationships
Authors: Reyes Melanie A. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSince Spring 2021, I have been on the Editorial Board for Personal Relationships as an International Section Peer Mentor. In the International Section, I work to diversify relationship science with a team of relationship scientists. In this role, I have learned more about diversity, and in turn, I have become inspired to reflect on other strategies I could partake in to assist in further diversifying relationship science. I aim to share those insights in this commentary through recommendations for relationship scientists. In addition to sharing these recommendations, I describe my positionality in a positionality statement, and I provide background on what diversity means to me and my current expertise in the subject matter. There are several recommendations in this commentary, and they involve all steps of the research process. I encourage relationship scientists to educate themselves, to consider the various diversities when developing their research questions, to initiate collaborations with and learn from other research teams whenever possible, to ensure that they are not unintentionally excluding underrepresented groups, to reflect on how they report participant demographic data, and to consider drafting their own positionality statements.
The older the wiser? Determinants of misbehavior in team contests
Authors: Lackner Mario , Sonnabend Hendrik 
Published: August 2023

AbstractObjectiveWe empirically investigate age and ability as potentially important drivers of individual misconduct in team contests.MethodsWe estimate fixed effects regression models using data from top‐level soccer. In addition, we carry out a comprehensive sensitivity analysis.ResultsOur estimates indicate a significant positive association between a player's age, on the one hand, and his (relative) ability, on the other, with the propensity to misbehave.ConclusionOur results are consistent with social learning theory, in the sense that the high‐status group of players may have learned that the consequences of misbehavior are small and manageable. Furthermore, we demonstrate that misbehavior is costly to both the players and their teams.
Retrospective evaluation of indications, transfusion protocols, and acute transfusion reactions associated with the administration of lyophilized canine albumin: 53 cases (2009–2020)

AbstractObjectivesTo describe the administration of lyophilized canine albumin (LCA) and determine the increase in serum albumin concentrations post‐LCA transfusion. To describe the incidence and types of acute transfusion reactions (TRs) and associated outcome in dogs presenting to a veterinary teaching hospital.DesignRetrospective and descriptive study from 2009 to 2020.SettingUniversity teaching hospital.AnimalsFifty‐three client‐owned dogs included in the study if they received an LCA transfusion and had vital sign monitoring recorded for at least for 4 hours after starting the LCA transfusion.InterventionsNone.Measurements and Main ResultsThe 53 dogs available for study inclusion received 64 LCA transfusions. Signalment; underlying disease; indications for LCA transfusion; pre‐ and posttransfusion serum albumin concentration; volume, concentration, and dose of LCA; duration of transfusion; administration of other blood products or synthetic colloids; occurrence, timing, and type of TR; length of hospitalization; and outcome were recorded. Serum albumin concentrations increased post‐LCA transfusion, with a median dose of 0.56 g/kg and a median posttransfusion serum albumin increase of 3 g/L (0.3 g/dL) (P = 0.008). TRs occurred in 13 of 64 (20.3%) transfusion events. Volume per kilogram, dose (g/kg), concentration, duration of transfusion, and additional administration of synthetic colloids were not associated with TRs. Three (23%) TRs were classified as febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction, 5 (38.5%) as transfusion‐associated dyspnea (development of respiratory distress and limited diagnostics), and 5 (38.5%) had clinical signs that could not be defined by any 1 TR category. Six (46.1%) of 13 events were nonsevere, 5 (38.5%) were severe, and 2 (15.4%) were life‐threatening.ConclusionsAdministration of LCA can be used to increase serum albumin concentrations, although the clinical implications of this increase are unknown. Acute TRs associated with LCA are relatively frequent and can be life‐threatening. Careful monitoring is vital.

AbstractBackgroundXenoantigens other than Gal, Neu5Gc, and Sda may be playing a role in pig graft rejection. We investigated the incidence of antibodies to unknown pig xenoantigen in different human groups.MethodsWe collected blood from TKO/hCD55 pigs (n = 3), and isolated PBMCs and RBCs. Serum samples were collected from (i) healthy human volunteers (n = 43), (ii) patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) (n = 87), (iii) the same patients after kidney allotransplantation (n = 50), and (iv) renal allotransplant recipients experiencing T cell‐mediated rejection (allo‐TCMR, n = 10). The sera were initially incubated with TKO/hCD55 pRBCs (1 × 108 cells) for 1 h to absorb anti‐pig antibodies (except against SLA and possibly other antigens not expressed on pRBCs) and then the serum (absorbed or unabsorbed) was tested for antibody binding and complement‐dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) to TKO/hCD55 pig PBMCs.ResultsA significant reduction in IgM/IgG binding and CDC was observed in the absorbed sera. Serum obtained before and after renal allotransplantation showed no significant difference in IgM or IgG binding to, or in CDC of, TKO/hCD55 pig cells. IgM antibodies (but rarely IgG) against unknown xenoantigens expressed on TKO/hCD55 PBMCs, possibly against swine leukocyte antigens, were documented in healthy humans, patients with ESRD, and those with renal allografts undergoing acute T cell rejection. IgM (but not CDC) was higher in patients experiencing allo‐TCMR.ConclusionHuman sera contain IgM antibodies against unknown pig xenoantigens expressed on TKO/hCD55 pPBMCs. Although not confirmed in the present study, the targets for these antibodies may include swine leukocyte antigens.
Mechanical Characterization of Supernumerary Robotic Tails for Human Balance Augmentation

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Humans are intrinsically unstable in quiet stance from a rigid body system viewpoint; however, they maintain balance, thanks to neuro-muscular sensory control properties. With increasing levels of balance related incidents in industrial and ageing populations globally each year, the development of assistive mechanisms to augment human balance is paramount. This work investigates the mechanical characteristics of kinematically dissimilar one and two degrees-of-freedom (DoF) supernumerary robotic tails for balance augmentation. Through dynamic simulations and manipulability assessments, the importance of variable coupling inertia in creating a sufficient reaction torque is highlighted. It is shown that two-DoF tails with solely revolute joints are best suited to address the balance augmentation issue. Within the two-DoF options, the characteristics of open versus closed loop tails are investigated, with the ultimate design selection requiring trade-offs between environmental workspace, biomechanical factors, and manufacturing ease to be made.
Effectiveness of a Variable-Speed Control Based on Auditory Feedback: Is It Possible?
Authors: Lagos-Hausheer Leonardo , Bona Renata L. , Biancardi Carlo M. 
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Variable-speed control in the field is challenging for motion science. Tests were performed to evaluate speed, Froude number, and oxygen consumption if these varied when using the same frequency of steps. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of auditory feedback to control variable speed on the treadmill and track during acceleration cycles around the transition speed. Methods: Twenty-four trained men participated. The protocol was based on 5 ramps of 50 seconds each around 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, and 120% of the walking–running transition speed, recording the frequency of steps with a mobile phone during the treadmill test. The tests were replicated on the track using auditory feedback. Results: When evaluating each speed of the protocols separately for the same frequency of steps, the average speed on the track was always higher on average at 54.7% compared to the laboratory (P < .050), and on the track, it was 16.2% higher than in the laboratory (P > .050). Conclusions: It cannot be considered that the same frequency of steps is equivalent to the same speed in the laboratory and on the track. These results point to the importance of reliable speed control during open field tests.

BackgroundFunctional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) with poor reperfusion were compared with patients with AIS-LVO treated with best medical management only.MethodsData are from the HERMES collaboration, a patient-level meta-analysis of seven randomized EVT trials. Baseline characteristics and functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days) were compared between patients with poor reperfusion (defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Score 0–1 on the final intracranial angiography run as assessed by the central imaging core laboratory) and patients in the control arm with multivariable logistic ordinal logistic regression adjusted for pre-specified baseline variables.Results972 of 1764 patients from the HERMES collaboration were included in the analysis: 893 in the control arm and 79 in the EVT arm with final mTICI 0–1. Patients with poor reperfusion who underwent EVT had higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale than controls (median 19 (IQR 15.5–21) vs 17 (13–21), P=0.011). They also had worse mRS at 90 days compared with those in the control arm in adjusted analysis (median 4 (IQR 3–6) vs median 4 (IQR 2–5), adjusted common OR 0.59 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.91)). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was not different between the two groups (3.9% vs 3.5%, P=0.75, adjusted OR 0.94 (95% CI 0.23 to 3.88)).ConclusionPoor reperfusion after EVT was associated with worse outcomes than best medical management, although no difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was seen. These results emphasize the need for additional efforts to further improve technical EVT success rates.
Relative dynamics of quantum vortices and massive cores in binary BECs
Authors: Bellettini Alice , Richaud Andrea , Penna Vittorio 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWe study the motion of superfluid vortices with filled massive cores. Previous point-vortex models already pointed out the impact of the core mass on the vortex dynamical properties, but relied on an assumption that is questionable in many physical systems where the immiscibility condition is barely satisfied: the fact that the massive core always lays at the very bottom of the effective confining potential constituted by the hosting vortex. Here, we relax this assumption and present a new point-vortex model where quantum vortices are harmonically coupled to their massive cores. We thoroughly explore the new dynamical regimes offered by this improved model; we then show that the functional dependence of the system normal modes on the microscopic parameters can be correctly interpreted only within this new generalized framework. Our predictions are benchmarked against the numerical simulations of coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations for a realistic mixture of atomic Bose–Einstein condensates.

Published: August 2023

Competitive advantage and sustainability of business organizations can only be achieved when an organization identifies, boosts, and directs its resources toward building its capabilities. The literature identified knowledge management (KM) resources and capabilities as the most critical enablers of organizational performance and innovations. This systematic review identified KM resources (enablers) and their effects on KM capabilities. The review also went into the theories used in the empirical research on the problem. To achieve those goals, the authors summarized 27 quantitative, peer-reviewed studies found in well-known databases and published in the last 5 years between January 2014 and April 2019. The review revealed that the primary organizational KM resources are culture, people, leadership, organization structure, resources, capabilities, strategy and technology. To these, the review added some factors, which are social factors, organizational knowledge and organizational characteristics. The study is significant in finding the most common variables or factors in business KM and their implication of them for enhancing knowledge capability and organizational performance.
