Quality changes in workplace health promotion over time: an extended validation of quality criteria from a longitudinal perspective
Authors: Lang Gert , Jiménez Paulino 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Aim
The quality of workplace health promotion (WHP) is essential for the successful deployment of financial and human resources. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the measurement quality of a WHP instrument with 15 quality criteria over time. In addition, it examines whether the quality of WHP in the enterprises concerned changed over time and whether typical developments can be identified. Finally, the role of company parameters such as size and implementation phase are analysed in relation to how WHP develops over time.

Subjects and methods
Evaluations of the quality of WHP collected between 2014 and 2021 were available at two and three measurement points for 570 and 279 enterprises, respectively. To assess the longitudinal measurement structure, confirmatory factor analyses were carried out followed by structural equation modelling to analyse causality. Cluster analysis was used to identify typical developments, and differences in company parameters were analysed with MANOVA.

Results
The results prove that the 15 quality criteria can be used to evaluate the quality of WHP in enterprises in a valid and reliable manner, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The quality of WHP in the enterprises concerned remained relatively stable over approximately 12 years. The cluster solution revealed three different developments characterized by increasing, stable or decreasing quality.

Conclusion
Measurements using a quality evaluation system permit a good assessment of WHP in enterprises. WHP quality also depends on company parameters; here more support should be provided to motivate enterprises in the long run, particularly in the sustainability phase.
Bounds on energy and angular momentum loss in the full n-body problem
Authors: Scheeres D. J. , Brown G. M. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA new bound on the amended potential in an n-body system is derived and applied to the partitioning of energy and angular momentum in a disrupting gravitational aggregate. This result provides analytic insight into how energy and angular momentum can be lost or partitioned between different collections of bodies as they escape from each other. To better understand the possible outcomes in such a situation, some specific numerical tests are also performed for systems of $$N = 3, 4, 5, 6$$

. The results confirm that disrupting systems always lose energy, with a characteristic stochastic distribution of the lost energy. We also find that the system loses most of its angular momentum, although individual escaping components can retain significant nonzero angular momentum vectors that can be uniformly distributed in space as the number of bodies in the system increases.
Physicochemical Properties of Oriented Crystalline Assembled Polyaniline/Metal Doped Li4Ti5O12 Composites for Li-ion Storage
Authors: Qasim Khaled Faisal , Mousa Mahmoud Ahmed 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this work, pure, doped Mg–, Mn–, and V-Li4Ti5O12, as well as polyaniline (PANI), and binary composites have been synthesized for supercapacitor applications. In situ, oxidation polymerization was used to create the nanocomposites. XRD, SEM, and XPS characterized the crystal structure, morphology, and compositions. The XRD analysis shows that all the pure and doped samples crystallize in the cubic spinel phase with a preferred orientation of the crystallites along the (111) direction, and the crystallite size has decreased with the addition of doping. The composites' SEM investigation revealed the production of LTO nanoparticles coated with PANI. The influence of dopant type on electrical and electrochemical characteristics was studied. The electrochemical performance is analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), and impedance methods in a 1 M LiNO3 electrolyte solution, whereas their electrical conductivity and dielectric constant are measured by electric impedance spectroscopy. All samples showed conductivity and dielectric properties depending on the composition of the samples. The electrical conduction is enhanced by adding PANI to the pure and doped LTO samples. The electrochemical data obtained showed pseudo-capacitive behavior with a revisable charge/discharge property, and specific capacitance values lie between 58 and 202 F/g depending upon sample composition. The V-LTO@PANI demonstrates the highest performance among all the tested electrodes. The V-LTO@PANI electrode shows a specific capacitance of 202 F/g, a maximum energy density of 72.8 Wh/kg, a maximum power density of 2430 W/kg, and high cycling performance, with 82.6% capacitance retained over 3000 cycles at 1 A/g.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Gut bacteria play a crucial role in the metabolism of bile acids (BA). Whether an association exists between the fecal microbiota composition and circulating BA levels in humans is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the relationship between fecal microbiota diversity and composition with plasma levels of BA in young adults.

Methods
Fecal microbiota diversity/composition was analyzed with 16S rRNA sequencing in 80 young adults (74% women; 21.9 ± 2.2 years old). Plasma levels of BA were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. PERMANOVA and Spearman correlation analyses were used to investigate the association between fecal microbiota parameters and plasma levels of BA.

Results
Fecal microbiota beta (P = 0.025) and alpha diversity indexes of evenness (rho = 0.237, P = 0.033), Shannon (rho = 0.313, P = 0.004), and inverse Simpson (rho = 0.283, P = 0.010) were positively associated with plasma levels of the secondary BA glycolithocholic acid (GLCA). The relative abundance of genera belonging to the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla was positively correlated with plasma levels of GLCA (all rho ≥ 0.225, P ≤ 0.049). However, the relative abundance of species from Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla were negatively correlated with plasma levels of primary and secondary BA (all rho ≤ − 0.220, P ≤ 0.045), except for the relative abundance of Bacteroides vulgatus, Alistipes onderdonkii, and Bacteroides xylanisolvens species (Bacteroidetes phylum) that were positively correlated with the plasma levels of GLCA.

Conclusions
The relative abundance of specific fecal bacteria species is associated with plasma levels of BA in young adults. However, further investigations are required to validate whether the composition of the gut microbiota can regulate the plasma concentrations of BA in humans.
Understanding multidimensional poverty in pakistan: implications for regional and demographic-specific policies
Authors: Saddique Rashida , Zeng Weihong , Zhao Pianpian , Awan Ashar 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study enriches the limited literature on multidimensional poverty by focusing on household demographic characteristics as determinants of household-specific living arrangements in Pakistan. The study employs the Alkire and Foster methodology to measure the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) using data drawn from the latest available nationally representative Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES 2018-19). The analysis investigates multidimensional poverty levels among households in Pakistan according to various criteria (such as access to education and healthcare, basic living standards, and monetary status) and how they differ across Pakistan’s regions and provinces. The results indicate that 22% of Pakistanis are multidimensionally poor in terms of health, education, basic living standards, and monetary status; and that multidimensional poverty is more common in rural areas and Balochistan. Furthermore, the logistic regression results show that households with more working-age people, employed women, and employed young people are less likely to be poor, whereas households with more dependents and children are more likely to be poor. This study recommends policies for addressing poverty that consider the needs of multidimensionally poor Pakistani households in various regions and with various demographic characteristics.

Authors: Rolle Carolin , Götte Petra , Rotthoff Thomas 
Published: June 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Studierende in Deutschland weisen seltener einen guten subjektiven Gesundheitszustand und häufiger eine depressive Symptomatik auf als die 18- bis 29-jährige Allgemeinbevölkerung.

Ziel und Fragestellung
Ziel der Befragung ist die Analyse des Gesundheitszustands, -verhaltens und der Interessen an Maßnahmen der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention sowie die dabei vorliegenden Unterschiede bei Studierenden der Erziehungswissenschaft und Medizin an der Universität Augsburg, um auf dieser Grundlage zukünftige spezifische Interventionen abzuleiten.

Material und Methoden
Datenbasis bilden Online-Befragungen von Studierenden im Bachelor und Master der Erziehungswissenschaft (N = 163) und Humanmedizin (N = 100) an der Universität Augsburg im Wintersemester 2021/2022. Der Gesundheitszustand, das Gesundheitsverhalten sowie die Interessen an Themen, Formaten und Ideen für die Gesundheitsförderung im Setting Universität werden anhand von uni-, bi- und multivariaten Analysen dargestellt.

Ergebnisse
Beide Studierendengruppen weisen eine verminderte psychische Gesundheit auf. Verglichen mit Medizinstudierenden weisen die befragten Erziehungswissenschaftsstudierenden höhere Risiken für ein depressives Syndrom, eine generalisierte Angststörung sowie körperliche Beschwerden auf. Etwa jede(r) dritte Befragte aus beiden Fächergruppen zeigt ein hohes Erschöpfungserleben als eine Subdimension von Burnout und einen riskanten Alkoholkonsum. Bei 65,6 % der Erziehungswissenschafts- und bei 41,0 % der Medizinstudierenden finden sich Hinweise auf eine internetbezogene Störung. Nahezu jede(r) zweite Studierende wünscht sich Kursangebote zu Bewegung sowie zu Entspannung/Stressbewältigung. Erziehungswissenschaftsstudierende zeigen einen größeren Bedarf an Angeboten zur psychischen Gesundheit als Medizinstudierende.

Schlussfolgerung
Bei Studierenden der Erziehungswissenschaft und Medizin besteht ein hoher Bedarf an Maßnahmen zu psychischer Gesundheit, Alkohol- und Internetkonsum sowie Erschöpfung und Überforderungsgefühlen im Setting Universität. Bei der Umsetzung sollten Studiengangsspezifika beachtet und ein studentisches Gesundheitsmanagement vorangebracht werden, das auch Studierende weiterer Studiengänge berücksichtigt.
Effect of NaCl and Na2SO4 on Low Temperature Corrosion of Vapour- and Pack-Aluminide Coated Single Crystal Turbine Blade Alloys CMSX-4 and RR3010
Authors: Tjandra J. , Ranjan A. , Ackerman A. K. , Appleton M. , Pedrazzini S. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe current work presents a systematic study of two alloy compositions (RR3010 and CMSX-4) and two types of coatings: inward grown (pack) and outward grown (vapour) deposited aluminides, exposed to 98Na2SO4–2NaCl mixture. Grit blasting was used on some of the samples, prior to coating, to mimic in-service procedures and remove oxides from the surface prior to coating. Two-point bend tests were then performed on the coated samples, with and without applied salt at 550 °C for 100 hours. Samples were pre-strained at 0.6 pct strain to deliberately pre-crack the coating and then strained at 0.3 pct for the heat treatment. Exposure to 98Na2SO4–2NaCl under applied stress of vapour-aluminide coated samples of both alloys, revealed significant coating damage in the form of secondary cracks in the intermetallic-rich inter-diffusion zone, although only CMSX-4 exhibited cracks propagating further into the bulk alloy while RR3010 proved more resistant. The pack-aluminide coating proved more protective for both alloys, with cracks propagating only into the coating and never into the underlying alloy. In addition, grit blasting proved beneficial in reducing spallation and cracking for both types of coating. The findings were used to propose a mechanism based on thermodynamic reactions, to explain the crack width changes through the formation of volatile AlCl3in the cracks.
Supportive care interventions for managing gastrointestinal symptoms following treatment for colorectal cancer: a systematic review
Authors: Ju Angela , Wiltink Lisette , Walker Jared , White Kate , Rutherford Claudia 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is prevalent in the developed world, with unhealthy lifestyles and diet contributing to rising incidence. Advances in effective screening, diagnosis, and treatments have led to improved survival rates, but CRC survivors suffer poorer long-term gastrointestinal consequences than the general population. However, the current state of clinical practice around provision of health services and treatment options remains unclear.

Purpose
We aimed to identify what supportive care interventions are available to manage gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms for CRC survivors.

Methods
We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from 2000 to April 2022 for resources, services, programs, or interventions to address GI symptoms and functional outcomes in CRC. We extracted information about characteristics of supportive care interventions, the study design, and sample characteristics from included studies, and performed a narrative synthesis

Results
Of 3807 papers retrieved, seven met the eligibility criteria. Types of interventions for managing or improving GI symptoms included two rehabilitation, one exercise, one educational, one dietary, and one pharmacological. Pelvic floor muscle exercise may help to resolve GI symptoms more quickly in the post-operative recovery phase. Survivors may also benefit from rehabilitation programs through improved self-management strategies, especially administered soon after completing primary treatment.

Conclusions/Implications for cancer survivors
Despite a high prevalence and burden of GI symptoms post-treatment, there is limited evidence for supportive care interventions to help manage or alleviate these symptoms. More, large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to identify effective interventions for managing GI symptoms that occur post-treatment.
Intracranial Pressure Monitoring and Management in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Authors: Addis Alberto , Baggiani Marta , Citerio Giuseppe 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a medical condition that can lead to intracranial hypertension, negatively impacting patients’ outcomes. This review article explores the underlying pathophysiology that causes increased intracranial pressure (ICP) during hospitalization. Hydrocephalus, brain swelling, and intracranial hematoma could produce an ICP rise. Although cerebrospinal fluid withdrawal via an external ventricular drain is commonly used, ICP monitoring is not always consistently practiced. Indications for ICP monitoring include neurological deterioration, hydrocephalus, brain swelling, intracranial masses, and the need for cerebrospinal fluid drainage. This review emphasizes the importance of ICP monitoring and presents findings from the Synapse-ICU study, which supports a correlation between ICP monitoring and treatment with better patient outcomes. The review also discusses various therapeutic strategies for managing increased ICP and identifies potential areas for future research.
Education and Inter-Ethnic Attitudes among Recent Immigrants in the Netherlands
Authors: Velásquez Paolo 
Published: June 2023

AbstractRecent research
shows that better educated and structurally integrated immigrants do not articulate more positive attitudes toward the ethnic majority than immigrants who have lower levels of educational attainment, described as evidence of an “integration paradox.” While these findings have important implications for theories of immigrant integration, they stand in contrast with theories of intergroup relations, e.g., intergroup contact theory. Importantly, these findings also challenge the strong theoretical expectation that higher levels of education generate more positive intergroup attitudes, that is, the universality of the educational effect. Using four waves from ‘New Immigrants Survey Netherlands’ (NIS2NL) survey, I investigate attitudinal differences toward both the ethnic majority and other ethnic minorities in the Netherlands for four recent immigrant groups by focusing on the highest level of education from their country of origin. First, I analyze whether the relationship between education and outgroup attitudes differs toward the ethnic majority and toward ethnic minorities. Second, I look at how attitudes toward outgroups change over time. Findings indicate that immigrants with higher levels of educational attainment hold more positive attitudes toward other ethnic minority groups, and these attitudes are stable over time. Attitudes toward the ethnic majority, however, are initially very positive but become less so over time, regardless of level of education. The findings shed new light on the universality of the educational effect on interethnic attitudes by showing that higher levels of education among immigrants have a potential “liberalizing” effect only toward minority groups, but not toward the ethnic majority.
A new alcyonacean octocoral (Anthozoa) from the Late Silurian of Gotland, Sweden
Authors: Reich Mike , Kutscher Manfred 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA new species and genus of stem-group ‘soft corals’ (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) is described and illustrated in detail, as well as compared to other species of the sparse octocorallian fossil record. Sueciatractos leipnitzae gen. et sp. nov. has been collected from the Upper Silurian Hemse beds of the Isle of Gotland, Sweden. The new taxon differs from all other taxa by its unique form of sclerites which were fused at first glance, but stacked compactly, densely packed aggregates forming a nearly solid skeleton or former supporting layers in part. Sueciatractos is compared with other fossil octocoral species that were known by microscopic/mesoscopic sclerites.
Role of Phenolic Acid Metabolism in Enhancing Bioactivity of Mentha Extract Fermented with Plant-Derived Lactobacillus plantarum SN13T
Authors: Shakya Shrijana , Danshiitsoodol Narandalai , Noda Masafumi , Sugiyama Masanori 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPlant-derived lactic acid bacteria are major fermentation organisms that can grow in medicinal herb extracts enriched with phytochemicals like glycosides, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins. Fermentation with strain-specific Lactobacilli harboring metabolic enzymes can increase the bioactivity and bioavailability of medicinal herbs. Fermentation of extracts of Artemisia princeps and Paeonia lactiflora has been previously found to increase their bioactivities. Therefore, this study explores the possibility of increasing the bioactivity of Mentha arvensis (Mentha) extract against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells by fermenting with plant-derived probiotic strains Lactobacillus (Lact.) plantarum SN13T and Pediococcus (Ped.) pentosaceus LP28. As a result, fermentation with SN13T significantly increased the bioactivity of Mentha extract as compared to unfermented or LP28-fermented extracts. This higher bioactivity was associated with the metabolism of rosmarinic acid (RA) and caffeic acid (CA), the major bioactive phenolic acids reported in Mentha, along with the production of the metabolite dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA). DHCA was found to be a more potent LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) inhibitor than its precursor phenolic acids. The metabolism of RA to DHCA via CA could be mediated by the enzymes cinnamoyl ester hydrolase and hydroxycinnamate reductases, encoded by the ceh gene and the hcrRABC gene operon, respectively, which were identified in the complete genome sequence of Lact. plantarum SN13T but were absent in Ped. pentosaceus LP28. The genes hcrA, hcrB, and hcrC were significantly and time-dependently overexpressed in Lact. plantarum SN13T when grown in the Mentha extract, suggesting the role of phenolic acid metabolism in enhancing its bioactivity.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Purpose
To demonstrate the feasibility of continuous infusion of meropenem–vaborbactam to optimize the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales.

Methods
Report of a case of a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae bloodstream infection comfirmed by whole genome sequencing and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of meropenem.

Results
A patient with augmented renal clearance (ARC) went into septic shock caused by an ST11 KPC-3-producing K. pneumoniae bloodstream infection that was successfully treated with a continuous infusion of meropenem–vaborbactam at a dosage of 1 g/1 g q4h as a 4-h infusion. TDM confirmed sustained concentrations of meropenem ranging from 8 to 16 mg/L throughout the dosing interval.

Conclusion
Continuous infusion of meropenem–vaborbactam was feasible. It could be appropriate for optimizing the management of critically ill patients with ARC, as it resulted in antibiotic concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration for susceptible carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (up to 8 mg/L) throughout the dosing interval.
