Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundDespite the growing literature on the importance of parental feeding practices, the factors that influence how parents make decisions regarding the foods they offer to their young children are not fully understood. Means‐end theory and its associated methodology known as laddering provide a useful framework for characterizing the relationships between the attributes of a choice option (e.g., a food item), the consequences (i.e., the benefits or costs/risks) associated with those attributes and the personal values (i.e., enduring beliefs) those consequences help reinforce. The present research uses this means‐end perspective to enrich our understanding of how parents make food choices for their preschool‐aged children.MethodsInterviews were conducted with parents (N = 33) of 3‐ to 5‐year‐old children to explore the factors underlying parents' decisions regarding the foods they recently offered, prefer to offer and avoid offering to their preschooler. The resulting data were transcribed, content analysed and summarized in a series of summary diagrams known as hierarchical value maps (HVMs).ResultsStudy results indicate that although most parents reported trying to make food decisions because they want their child to be healthy, factors such as avoiding fights/battles and low perceived likelihood their child would eat a food may be barriers to offering certain foods.ConclusionsTaken together, these study findings enhance our understanding of the range of meanings underlying parents' food choice decisions and suggest opportunities for interventions to improve the quality of foods that parents offer to their children at home.

AbstractEnsuring that companies can assess and manage their impacts on biodiversity will be crucial to solving the current biodiversity crisis, and regulatory and public pressure to disclose these impacts is increasing. Top‐down intactness metrics (e.g., Mean Species Abundance) can be valuable for generating high‐level or first‐tier assessments of impact risk but do not provide sufficient precision or guidance for companies, regulators, or third‐party assessors. New metrics based on bottom‐up assessments of biodiversity (e.g., the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration metric) can accommodate spatial variation of biodiversity and provide more specific guidance for actions to avoid, reduce, remediate, and compensate for impacts and to identify positive opportunities.

Authors:   EuroSurg Collaborative†
Published: September 2023

AbstractAimIntraperitoneal drains are often placed during emergency colorectal surgery. However, there is a lack of evidence supporting their use. This study aimed to describe the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal drain placement after emergency colorectal surgery.MethodCOMPlicAted intra‐abdominal collectionS after colorectal Surgery (COMPASS) is a prospective, international, cohort study into which consecutive adult patients undergoing emergency colorectal surgery were enrolled (from 3 February 2020 to 8 March 2020). The primary outcome was the rate of intraperitoneal drain placement. Secondary outcomes included rate and time‐to‐diagnosis of postoperative intraperitoneal collections, rate of surgical site infections (SSIs), time to discharge and 30‐day major postoperative complications (Clavien–Dindo III–V). Multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to estimate the independent association of the outcomes with drain placement.ResultsSome 725 patients (median age 68.0 years; 349 [48.1%] women) from 22 countries were included. The drain insertion rate was 53.7% (389 patients). Following multivariable adjustment, drains were not significantly associated with reduced rates (odds ratio [OR] = 1.56, 95% CI: 0.48–5.02, p = 0.457) or earlier detection (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.07, 95% CI: 0.61–1.90, p = 0.805) of collections. Drains were not significantly associated with worse major postoperative complications (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.67–2.36, p = 0.478), delayed hospital discharge (HR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.91–1.36, p = 0.303) or increased risk of SSIs (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 0.87–2.99, p = 0.128).ConclusionThis is the first study investigating placement of intraperitoneal drains following emergency colorectal surgery. The safety and clinical benefit of drains remain uncertain. Equipoise exists for randomized trials to define the safety and efficacy of drains in emergency colorectal surgery.
High flow nasal cannula versus noninvasive ventilation in the treatment of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Fahey Aisling C. , O'Connell Martina , Cornally Nicola , Saab Mohamad M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractChronic obstructive pulmonary disease can lead to acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF), often treated using noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Emerging research suggests the potential utility of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for AHRF. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the effect of HFNC versus NIV on AHRF management. A search of electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Academic Search Complete), web sources, and trial registries was last conducted on 9 February 2023. Quality and risk of bias assessments were conducted. Meta‐analyses were used to synthesise data. Seven randomised controlled trials were included. No statistically significant differences between HFNC and NIV were found within the following outcomes of interest: (i) correction of pCO2: standardised mean difference (SMD) = −0.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−0.34 to 0.02), p = 0.08; (ii) correction of pH: SMD = −0.05, 95% CI (−0.25 to 0.14), p = 0.59; (iii) correction of pO2: SMD = −0.15, 95% CI (−0.40 to 0.09), p = 0.22; (iv) intubation rates: risk ratio (RR) = 0.87, 95% CI (0.41 to 1.82), p = 0.71; (v) mortality rates: RR = 0.85, 95% CI (0.47 to 1.56), p = 0.61; and (vi) treatment switch: RR = 1.30, 95% CI (0.43 to 3.94), p = 0.64. More controlled trials with large sample sizes are required to investigate the management of AHRF of various aetiologies. HFNC may be used as a final exhaustive measure for COPD‐related AHRF where NIV is not tolerated, and when it is not clinically indicated to extend to endotracheal intubation.
International Patent Cooperation, Patent Prosecution Highway Agreements, and Export Product Quality
Authors: Duan Fan , Li Yifei , Zhong Tenglong 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper investigates how international cooperation for patent examination using Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) agreements has affected the quality of firms' exports. Taking the PPH agreements signed between China and the export destinations as a quasi‐natural experiment, we established a difference‐in‐difference‐in‐differences model. We found that international cooperation for patent examination caused firms to increase export quality to PPH partners in patent‐intensive industries to a greater extent. This effect was more profound among PPH partners with stronger intellectual property protection, differentiated products and core products, and agreements along with the Patent Cooperation Treaty. We also found that PPH agreements increased the number of Chinese patent applications filed in PPH partners, patent applications by PPH partners in China, and the level of innovation, all of which constitute the major channels through which export quality to PPH partners increases. Our findings demonstrate that international patent cooperation has played an important role in promoting international trade quality.

ObjectivesNarrow‐band imaging (NBI) contributes to real‐time optical diagnosis and classification of colorectal lesions. The Japan NBI Expert Team (JNET) was introduced in 2011. The aim of this study was to explore the diagnostic accuracy of JNET when applied by European and Japanese endoscopists not familiar with this classification.MethodsThis study was conducted by 36 European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and 49 Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) non‐JNET endoscopists using still images of 150 lesions. For each lesion, nonmagnified white‐light, nonmagnified NBI, and magnified NBI images were presented. In the magnified NBI, the evaluation area was designated by region of interest (ROI). The endoscopists scored histological prediction for each lesion.ResultsIn ESGE members, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were respectively 73.3%, 94.7%, and 93.0% for JNET Type 1; 53.0%, 64.9%, and 62.1% for Type 2A; 43.9%, 67.7%, and 55.1% for Type 2B; and 38.1%, 93.7%, and 85.1% for Type 3.When Type 2B and 3 were considered as one category of cancer, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for differentiating high‐grade dysplasia and cancer from the others were 59.9%, 72.5%, and 63.8%, respectively. These trends were the same for JGES endoscopists.ConclusionThe diagnostic accuracy of the JNET classification was similar between ESGE and JGES and considered to be sufficient for JNET Type 1. On the other hand, the accuracy for Types 2 and 3 is not sufficient; however, JNET 2B lesions should be resected en bloc due to the risk of cancers and JNET 3 can be treated by surgery due to its high specificity.

ObjectivesNo comprehensive study has examined short‐ and long‐term adverse outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐guided treatment of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) including walled‐off necrosis (WON) and pseudocysts.MethodsIn a multi‐institutional cohort of 357 patients receiving EUS‐guided treatment of PFCs (228 with WON and 129 with pseudocysts), we examined PFC type‐specific risk factors for procedure‐related adverse events (AEs), clinical failure, and recurrence. Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using the logistic and Cox regression models, respectively, adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsAdverse events were observed predominantly in WON, and risk factors were WON extension to the pelvis (OR 2.49; 95% CI 1.00–6.19) and endoscopic necrosectomy (OR 5.15; 95% CI 1.61–16.5). Risk factors for clinical failure in WON treatment included higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR for ≥3 vs. ≤2, 2.58; 95% CI 1.05–6.35), extension to the pelvis (OR 3.63; 95% CI 1.57–8.43), nonuse of a lumen‐apposing metal stent (OR 2.88; 95% CI 1.10–7.54), and percutaneous drainage (OR 3.73; 95% CI 1.27–10.9). Patients with pseudocysts extending to the paracolic gutter and the need for more than two endoscopic/percutaneous procedures had ORs for clinical failure of 5.28 (95% CI 1.10–25.3) and 5.52 (95% CI 1.61–18.9), respectively. Pseudocysts requiring the multigateway approach were associated with a high risk of recurrence (HR 4.00; 95% CI 1.11–11.6).ConclusionThe adverse outcomes at various phases of EUS‐guided PFC treatment may be predictable based on clinical parameters. Further research is warranted to optimize treatment strategies for high‐risk patients.

AbstractAimsAmong adults with insulin‐ and/or secretagogue‐treated diabetes in the United States, very little is known about the real‐world descriptive epidemiology of iatrogenic severe (level 3) hypoglycaemia. Addressing this gap, we collected primary, longitudinal data to quantify the absolute frequency of events as well as incidence rates and proportions.Materials and MethodsiNPHORM is a US‐wide, 12‐month ambidirectional panel survey (2020‐2021). Adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or insulin‐ and/or secretagogue‐treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were recruited from a probability‐based internet panel. Participants completing ≥1 follow‐up questionnaire(s) were analysed.ResultsAmong 978 respondents [T1DM 17%; mean age 51 (SD 14.3) years; male: 49.6%], 63% of level 3 events were treated outside the health care system (e.g. by family/friend/colleague), and <5% required hospitalization. Following the 12‐month prospective period, one‐third of individuals reported ≥1 event(s) [T1DM 44.2% (95% CI 36.8%‐51.8%); T2DM 30.8% (95% CI 28.7%‐35.1%), p = .0404, α = 0.0007]; and the incidence rate was 5.01 (95% CI 4.15‐6.05) events per person‐year (EPPY) [T1DM 3.57 (95% CI 2.49‐5.11) EPPY; T2DM 5.29 (95% CI 4.26‐6.57) EPPY, p = .1352, α = 0.0007]. Level 3 hypoglycaemia requiring non‐transport emergency medical services was more common in T2DM than T1DM (p < .0001, α = 0.0016). In total, >90% of events were experienced by <15% of participants.ConclusionsiNPHORM is one of the first long‐term, prospective US‐based investigations on level 3 hypoglycaemia epidemiology. Our results underscore the importance of participant‐reported data to ascertain its burden. Events were alarmingly frequent, irrespective of diabetes type, and concentrated in a small subsample.

AbstractAimVitamin D deficiency is prevalent in people with established psychotic disorders, but less is known about vitamin D levels in people with first‐episode psychosis (FEP). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in people with FEP and identify the factors associated with vitamin D status.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study nested within a randomized controlled trial, which included 37 young people with an FEP with minimal antipsychotic medication exposure.ResultsTwenty‐four percent of participants were vitamin D deficient, and a further 30% were vitamin D insufficient. There was no association between vitamin D and demographic factors or clinical symptoms (positive, negative, general psychopathology and depressive symptoms) or cognition and functioning. However, vitamin D levels were associated with season of sampling.ConclusionsConsidering the longer‐term adverse effects associated with vitamin D deficiency, it is warranted to ensure this clinical population receives supplementation if indicated.
Set in motion. Paradoxical narratives of becoming Swedish digital media influencers
Authors: Nilsson Gabriella 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article analyzes how Swedish digital media influencers make sense of their careers in print media interviews and autobiographical books. I explore how influencers use metaphors involving motion, speed and acceleration to describe, explain and legitimate the various circumstances and phases of their career development, and how these metaphors may be viewed in the wider context of social acceleration and conflicting gender norms. I show that the valorization of neoliberal ideals that promote individuality, flexibility, entrepreneurship, and passion as the basis for career choices is facilitated by the rapidly changing technology that influencers use. This does not imply, however, that female influencers are empowered or breaking norms. Instead, their narratives reflect traditional gender norms, such as assigning themselves passive roles in their career development. This analysis illustrates a paradox in the work of influencers: it is fast‐paced and ever‐changing, dependent on algorithms and platforms run by multinational companies, but at the same time, it must be slow, static, and authentic, organically growing through listening, sensing and the building of relationships. I show that neoliberal ideals around work are intertwined with traditional notions of femininity, and that these ideals reinforce a normative view of women's work—including notions of never‐idle hands and a perpetual availability to serve the needs of others—as “non‐work.”

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe oxide thermoelectric (TE) ceramics have continued to attract the focus due to their high stability and low cost. However, their TE performance falls obviously backward with the typical TE compounds such as PbTe. Here, we revealed the reason for the difficulty of optimized performance is the large electronegativity difference between the metal and O ions in oxide, which results in strong electron localization and bond energy. The former leads to unfavorable electrical properties and the latter results in a high lattice thermal conductivity. Focusing on these issues, we briefly reviewed the strategies for electrical optimization including carrier concentration optimization, band gap tuning, and the density of state resonance, as well as the lattice thermal suppression strategies involving weakened bond, high entropy, grain size engineering, hierarchical architecture, textured polycrystal, and composite strategies for oxide TE ceramics. Finally, we proposed several possible perspectives for n‐type oxide TE ceramics, strategies for bond anisotropy, and predicted new TE oxides for further breakthroughs in oxide TE properties.
Multiscale understanding the effect of K/Na ratio on electrical properties of high‐performance KNN‐based ceramics

Published: September 2023

AbstractAlthough certain efforts were paid to the effect of K/Na ratio on the phase structure and piezoelectric properties of potassium sodium niobate {(K, Na)NbO3, KNN}‐based ceramics, insufficient attention was given to the local structure and ferroelectric domains, hindering the further understanding of physical mechanisms. Herein, we studied the effect of the K/Na ratio on KNN‐based ceramics with multi‐phase coexistence from multiscale structure. High Na+ content leads to local stress heterogeneity and retains large ferroelectric domains, while high K+ content rotates the NbO6 octahedron and results in local polarity heterogeneity and distinct dielectric relaxational behavior, consequently fragmenting ferroelectric domains. The improved piezoelectricity is obtained at the equal K/Na ratio and originates from the balanced local polarity and stress heterogeneities. Therefore, an appropriate K/Na ratio should be fully considered when designing compositions with the purpose of improving performance of KNN‐based ceramics in the future.
Research on wheat flour‐making technology based on discrete elements
Authors: Wang Xuefeng , Wu Wenbin , Jia Huapo 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe operating characteristics of a mill's rolling distance and roller speed during wheat‐milling were studied to provide a reference for optimizing the operating parameters of the mill. The high‐performance discrete element method software (EDEM) was used to establish a roller‐crushing system for wheat flour production. Numerical simulations of wheat flour production were performed using this system. It was found that increasing the roller distance of the flour mill machine could reduce the wear of the grinding rolls and the power of the grinding roll system, which reduced the crushing rate of wheat during the milling process. Increasing the grinding roll speed can reduce the wear of the grinding rolls but will increase the wheat‐crushing rate. At a constant fast roller speed, increasing the speed ratio increased the wheat‐crushing rate which reduced the power of the grinding roller system. During the grinding roll wear process, the obtuse and sharp angles gradually disappear. A comparison of the simulation and experimental results shows that the discrete element method can accurately predict the wear of the grinding roll.Practical ApplicationsThe milling machine is a key piece of equipment used for making wheat flour. The rolling distance, speed, and speed ratio of grinding rolls are important operating parameters during mill operation. Selecting specific parameters will directly affect the quality of wheat‐milling and the economic efficiency of the milling enterprise. This study adopted a discrete element method to study the effects of these parameters on wheat milling, providing a good reference for the technical personnel of milling enterprises.
Mathematical modeling for investigating the effect of single‐sided flipping on moisture, fat content, and safety of hamburger patty
Authors: Dalvi‐Isfahan Mohsen 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe aim of this research was to investigate the impact of the number of hamburger flips on cooking loss and the safety of hamburger patties during contact heating. To achieve this, a kinetic model describing the thermal inactivation of Salmonella serotypes during the cooking of hamburger patties was developed and coupled with heat and mass transfer equations (moisture and fat loss). The model also incorporated the effect of shrinkage during cooking. The results showed that while increasing the number of flips helps to distribute heat more evenly and decrease the temperature difference across the patty, which can increase safety, it can also lead to greater loss of moisture and fat during cooking. In addition, although shrinkage has a significant effect on cooking loss in the model, its inclusion did not improve the accuracy of the model in predicting experimental data.Practical ApplicationsThe research highlights the importance of not only conveying the risks of consuming undercooked hamburgers, but also providing guidance on how to cook hamburgers thoroughly while retaining their juiciness and flavor. This information is crucial for hamburger producers to promote best practices for cooking hamburgers that meet both safety and taste criteria. The study also emphasizes the role of the effects of consecutive flipping and product shrinkage on cooking loss, as well as temperature changes during single‐sided contact heating of frozen hamburger patties. By understanding these factors, hamburger producers can develop cooking protocols that minimize cooking loss while ensuring product safety and taste. Overall, this research has practical applications for the hamburger industry, as it provides a scientific basis for optimizing cooking processes that can improve product safety, quality, and taste.
