Buying the Verdict
Authors: Cohen Lauren H. , Gurun Umit G. 
Published: August 2023

We document evidence that firms systematically increase specialized, locally targeted advertising following the firm being taken to trial in that given location, precisely following initiation of the suit. In particular, we use legal actions brought against publicly traded firms over the 20-year sample period that progress to trial between 1995 and 2014. In terms of magnitude, the increase is sizable: targeted local advertising increases by 23% (t = 4.37) following the suit. They focus their advertisement spikes specifically toward jury trials, and in fact specifically toward the most likely jury pool. Last, we document that these advertising spikes are associated with verdicts, increasing the probability of a favorable outcome. This paper was accepted by Tomasz Piskorski, finance.

Background
Established assessment tools for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including disease activity scores (DASs), disease activity indexes (DAIs), visual analog scales (VASs), and health assessment questionnaires (HAQs), are widely used. However, comparative associations between joint involvement and disease status assessment tools have rarely been investigated.

Methods
We included a dataset of 4016 patients from a large RA cohort from 2012 to 2019. The tenderness and swelling of each joint were counted as a symptom, with 70 and 68 affected joints throughout the body, respectively. The relative contribution of various joints to the disease status assessment tools, VAS scores, and functional disability indexes was analyzed using multiple regression analysis.

Results
The wrist showed the most significant contribution overall, especially in DASs and VASs, while the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints made significant contributions to DASs and DAIs, but not to VASs and HAQs. The shoulder and the elbow significantly contributed to HAQs, but only the shoulder did to the VASs. The knee universally contributed to all of the tools, but the ankle played a minor but important role in most assessment tools, especially in HAQs. Similar but different contribution ratios were found between the sets of DASs, DAIs, VASs, or HAQs.

Conclusions
Each joint makes a unique contribution to these assessment tools. The improvement or aggravation of symptoms in each joint affects the assessment tools in different manners.
Record linkage studies of primary care utilisation after release from prison: A scoping review protocol
Authors: Cooper Janine A. , Murphy Siobhan , Kirk Richard , O’Reilly Dermot , Donnelly Michael 
Published: August 2023

Introduction
There is a need to improve the implementation and provision of continuity of care between prison and community in order that people who have been in prison and have a history of low engagement with services or who are vulnerable receive appropriate and timely health care and treatment. Observational studies using record linkage have investigated continuity of care after release from prison but this type of research evidence has not been synthesised.

Objective
This paper presents a protocol designed to review record linkage studies about primary care utilisation after prison release in order to inform future research and guide service organisation and delivery towards people who are at-risk following release from prison.

Methods
This scoping review will follow the framework by Arksey and O’Malley (5 stages) and guidance developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science Core Collection will be searched (January 2012-March 2023) using terms relating to (i) ‘former prisoners’ and (ii) ‘primary care’. The review will focus on observational studies that have investigated this topic using linked data from two or more sources. Two authors will independently screen titles and abstracts (step 1) and full publications (step 2) using predefined eligibility criteria. Data will be extracted from included publications using a piloted data charting form. This review will map the findings in this research area by methodology, key findings and gaps in research, and current evidence will be synthesised narratively given the expected considerable heterogeneity across studies.

Discussion
This review is part of a work programme on health in prison (Administrative Data Research Centre, Northern Ireland). This work may be used to inform future research, policy and practice. Findings will be shared with stakeholders, published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences. Ethical approval is not required.
Impact of the use of GeneXpert on TB diagnosis and anti-TB treatment outcome at health facilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in the post-millennium development years
Authors: Getahun Desalegn Addise , Layland Laura E. , Hoerauf Achim , Wondale Biniam 
Published: August 2023

Background
GeneXpert is an effective and rapid molecular system used for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. It is expected to improve the detection rate and treatment outcomes needed to meet the sustainable development goals (SDG) and End TB strategy targets set for 2030. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of GeneXpert on diagnosis and anti-TB treatment outcomes in the post-millennium development goals (MDGs) in the capital city of Ethiopia. Hence, the global priority indicator based on the End TB Strategy for TB treatment success rate was met early in 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which was anticipated to be met by 2025.

Methods
A retrospective health facilities-based study was conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Records of all TB cases diagnosed and treated in selected health facilities from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2018 were reviewed and included in the study. Data analysis of descriptive and inferential statistics was conducted using SPSS version 20.

Results
The reviewed records have shown that a total of 45,158 presumptive pulmonary TB (PTB) cases had accessed TB diagnosis services. Of which, 28.9% (13072/45158) were tested by AFB microscopy and 71.1% (32086/45158) were tested by GeneXpert. During the study period, the coverage of Xpert MTB/RIF testing increased to 94.9% in 2018 compared to 1.6% in 2015. The number of presumptive PTB cases tested with the GeneXpert system showed a significant increase compared to smear microscopy. The odds of positivity were detected in males compared to females. The odds of detecting TB cases were much higher among study participants aged 15–44 years compared to younger than 15 years. Treatment success rate showed a relative improvement each year between 2015 and 2018 with a mean of 92.6%. Reduced odds of treatment successes were observed in age categories older than 35 years, and in TB/HIV co-infected patients. Increased odds of treatment successes were reported in the years between 2016 and 2018 compared to 2015.

Conclusion
Scaling up the Xpert MTB/RIF assay as a point-of-care test for presumptive TB cases in resource-limited settings would have a significant impact to meet the SDG and End TB strategy both in TB detection and treatment success rates.

Authors: Asiedu Jessica O. , Thomas Ananda J. , Cruz Nicolas C. , Nicholson Ryan , Resar Linda M. S. , Khashab Mouen , Frank Steven M. 
Published: August 2023

Background
The national blood shortage and growing patient population who decline blood transfusions have created the need for bloodless medicine initiatives. This case series describes the management of gastrointestinal bleed patients who declined allogeneic blood transfusion. Understanding the effectiveness of bloodless techniques may improve treatment for future patients while avoiding the risks and cost associated with transfusion.

Study design and methods
A retrospective chart review identified 30 inpatient encounters admitted between 2016 to 2022 for gastrointestinal hemorrhage who declined transfusion due to religious or personal reasons. Clinical characteristics and patient blood management methods utilized during hospitalization were analyzed. Hemoglobin concentrations and clinical outcomes are reported.

Results
The most common therapy was intravenous iron (n = 25, 83.3%), followed by erythropoietin (n = 18, 60.0%). Endoscopy was the most common procedure performed (n = 23, 76.7%), and surgical intervention was less common (n = 4, 13.3%). Pre-procedure hemoglobin was <6 g/dL in 7 patients, and <5 g/dL in 4 patients. The median nadir hemoglobin was 5.6 (IQR 4.5, 7.0) g/dL, which increased post-treatment to 7.3 (IQR 6.2, 8.4) g/dL upon discharge. One patient (3.3%) with a nadir Hb of 3.7 g/dL died during hospitalization from sepsis. Nine other patients with nadir Hb <5 g/dL survived hospitalization.

Conclusions
Gastrointestinal bleed patients can be successfully managed with optimal bloodless medicine techniques. Even patients with a nadir Hb <5–6 g/dL can be stabilized with aggressive anemia treatment and may safely undergo anesthesia and endoscopy or surgery for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Methods used for treating bloodless medicine patients may be used to improve clinical care for all patients.
Epistemic Parity: Reproducibility as an Evaluation Metric for Differential Privacy

Published: August 2023

Differential privacy (DP) data synthesizers are increasingly proposed to afford public release of sensitive information, offering theoretical guarantees for privacy (and, in some cases, utility), but limited empirical evidence of utility in practical settings. Utility is typically measured as the error on representative proxy tasks, such as descriptive statistics, multivariate correlations, the accuracy of trained classifiers, or performance over a query workload. The ability for these results to generalize to practitioners' experience has been questioned in a number of settings, including the U.S. Census. In this paper, we propose an evaluation methodology for synthetic data that avoids assumptions about the representativeness of proxy tasks, instead measuring the likelihood that published conclusions would change had the authors used synthetic data, a condition we call epistemic parity. Our methodology consists of reproducing empirical conclusions of peer-reviewed papers on real, publicly available data, then re-running these experiments a second time on DP synthetic data and comparing the results.
We instantiate our methodology over a benchmark of recent peer-reviewed papers that analyze public datasets in the ICPSR social science repository. We model quantitative claims computationally to automate the experimental workflow, and model qualitative claims by reproducing visualizations and comparing the results manually. We then generate DP synthetic datasets using multiple state-of-the-art mechanisms, and estimate the likelihood that these conclusions will hold. We find that, for reasonable privacy regimes, state-of-the-art DP synthesizers are able to achieve high epistemic parity for several papers in our benchmark. However, some papers, and particularly some specific findings, are difficult to reproduce for any of the synthesizers. Given these results, we advocate for a new class of mechanisms that can reorder the priorities for DP data synthesis: favor stronger guarantees for utility (as measured by epistemic parity) and offer privacy protection with a focus on application-specific threat models and risk-assessment.
Sex differences in skeletal muscle size, function, and myosin heavy chain isoform expression during post‐injury regeneration in mice
Authors: You Jae‐Sung , Barai Pallob , Chen Jie 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSkeletal muscle regeneration is an essential process to restore muscle function after injury and is influenced by various factors. Despite the known importance of sex hormones in muscle regeneration, whether and what sex difference exists in this process is still unclear. In this study, we provide evidence for a clear sex difference in muscle regeneration in mice. At 7 and 14 days after barium chloride‐induced muscle injury, female mice showed a faster recovery of muscle fiber size than males. Consistently, muscle force in female mice was restored faster than in males after injury, and this functional difference was maintained at 14 months of age when regenerative capacity declined. Myosin heavy chain isoform profiling and fatigability test revealed dynamic remodeling of myosin heavy chain isoform expression including a type IIB to IIA/X MHC transition and reduced fatigability in regenerated muscles compared to uninjured muscles. A significant sex difference was detected in myosin heavy chain IIX content, although this did not lead to different fatigability. Together, our results suggest that sex is an important determinant of the recovery of regenerating skeletal muscle and is partially involved in the remodeling of myosin heavy chain isoforms during muscle regeneration.
Inter-agency Cooperation Within the SRM: Legal and Operational Challenges for the Cooperation Between Banking Supervision and Resolution Authorities in the EU and With Third-country Authorities
Authors: Binder Jens-Hinrich 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

900
In bank resolution, swift and effective cooperation of different actors is of essence, particularly in cross-border cases. While the same can be said about cross-border insolvency management generally, the European framework for the recovery and resolution of failing banks and, in particular, the centralisation of resolution powers within the Single Resolution Mechanism stand out as particularly complex – and, at the same time, remains to some extent untested to the present date. Against this backdrop, the present article explores the statutory framework for cooperation between the Single Resolution Board, the European Central Bank in its capacity as supervisory authority within the Single Supervisory Mechanism, National Resolution Authorities and Third Country authorities. It concludes that, while the legal and institutional arrangements governing inter-agency cooperation are generally sound, operationalisation in actual cases might still be exposed to unexpected disruptions, especially in cases where political interests are at stake.

Abstract

Objectives
In line with the World Health Organization’s Global Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!) guidance, the goal of the current research was to identify critical strategies for adolescents’ health and to determine the role and distribution of responsibilities among the leading players in the field of adolescent health in Iran.

Methods
The current qualitative and applied study is part of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education’s “Adolescent, Youth and School Health” plan to develop the “National Adolescent Health Plan Document” in 2020. First, stakeholder analysis was done, then a pool of nationally appropriate strategies was selected from the list of priority strategies recommended by the WHO in the AA-HA! through several group sessions. After that, the experts selected priority strategies based on the criteria of feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness, guaranteed resources, coordination with other plans and temporal priority, scoring, and executive priorities. Eventually, the priority strategies were assigned to different players/stakeholders in the field over several sessions bearing in mind the methods of implementation and the target groups.

Results
The experts identified 58 priority strategies/actions for adolescent health under the seven priority areas of positive development, sexual protection, reproductive health, mental health, substance abuse, self-harm, violence, unintentional injury, communicable and non-communicable diseases, nutrition, and physical activity.

Conclusions
The highest identified priority areas were in the areas of vaccination; special health care package for service providers; training and education to promote health literacy and self-care, life skills, sexual awareness, and prevention/protection against violence; community-based mental health services, planning for adolescents’ spare time, substance use prevention.
Nix interacts with WIPI2 to induce mitophagy

Published: August 2023

AbstractNix is a membrane‐anchored outer mitochondrial protein that induces mitophagy. While Nix has an LC3‐interacting (LIR) motif that binds to ATG8 proteins, it also contains a minimal essential region (MER) that induces mitophagy through an unknown mechanism. We used chemically induced dimerization (CID) to probe the mechanism of Nix‐mediated mitophagy and found that both the LIR and MER are required for robust mitophagy. We find that the Nix MER interacts with the autophagy effector WIPI2 and recruits WIPI2 to mitochondria. The Nix LIR motif is also required for robust mitophagy and converts a homogeneous WIPI2 distribution on the surface of the mitochondria into puncta, even in the absence of ATG8s. Together, this work reveals unanticipated mechanisms in Nix‐induced mitophagy and the elusive role of the MER, while also describing an interesting example of autophagy induction that acts downstream of the canonical initiation complexes.

Published: August 2023

Banana fibers and Kenaf fibers are natural fibers with good tensile strength. We can prepare epoxy based biocomposite from these fibers. In this work, banana (B) and kenaf (K) fibers reinforced unidirectional (UD) hybrid biocomposites are prepared. Totally two plates are manufactured. First Plate is 4 layer unidirectional 15% Banana + 15% Kenaf fibers alternate layers composite (UD B-K-B-K). Second Plate is 4 layer 15% Banana + 15% Kenaf fibers cumulative layers composite (UD B-B-K-K). Tensile, Flexural and Izod impact tests are carried out as per ASTM standards. Effect of layering sequence on these mechanical properties is investigated experimentally. It is found that cumulative layer (UD B-B-K-K) has better tensile and flexural strength than alternate layers (UD B-K-B-K) biocomposite. Whereas alternate layer (UD B-K-B-K) biocomposite shows better impact strength than cumulative layer (UD B-B-K-K) biocomposite.
Evaluation of Effect of Angular Positioning of Legs on the Structural Stability of a Pressure Vessel Using Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Et al. Ganesh E. Kondhalkar 
Published: August 2023

Pressure Vessel design is primarily a process that is guided by the time tested principles of ASME code. The code has incorporated experience of past 100 years to create a rule based design approach. However this approach is applicable to only standard designs, and it is not feasible for ASME to give rules for nonstandard designs, hence ASME itself has recommended a design by analysis approach for such designs. Process requirements for the vessel under consideration of this paper, dictated that there should be an unsymmetrical distribution of leg supports. The vessel has six legs, with two of them having a gap of 80 degrees and the remaining maintaining a gap of 56 degrees. This variation from a normal 60 degree standard separation makes it a nonstandard design fit for design by analysis approach. In addition to this the supports are also titled with respected to the vertical. This angular inclination in combination with the unsymmetrical distribution of legs is the focus of this paper, wherein the effort is to evaluate the effect of this on the structural parameters of deformation and stress.

Published: August 2023

Radiation sensors based on thermo luminescence from nanoparticles of aluminium-boron complex for gamma radiation have been reported. Crystal chemistry of aluminium boride is quite complicated and is derived from complex tetragonal modification of boron. The crystal structure varies with the method of preparation and energy band gap contains defect states governed by the temperature during synthesis. There are various methods of preparing nanoparticles like boll milling, sol-gel and RF-thermal plasma. In the present studies Aluminum boron complex nanoparticles were synthesized by DC- transferred arc thermal plasma method. The DC-transferred arc thermal plasma has been received great attention as a useful method to synthesize nanoparticles. Since a substance is easily evaporated in large volume of thermal plasma. A pure aluminium and boron powders were mixed together and made to evaporate from water cooled graphite after impinging thermal plasma plume. Argon with flow rate of 3L/min was used as a plasma forming gas for the evaporation of raw powder mixture in Ar ambient in the plasma reactor. The obtained nanoparticles of aluminum –boron complex were characterized using X-ray diffraction technique for structural analysis, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for morphological analysis and energy dispersive analysis by X-ray (EDAX) for elemental analysis. The aluminum boron complex so obtained was investigated for thermoluminscence properties.
Vibration Analysis of Lathe Machine Tool
Authors: Kashinath H. Munde Et al. 
Published: August 2023

Today, machine tools play a vital role in the production of parts in any manufacturing industry. The dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the work piece depends mainly on the condition of the machine. Vibration occurring on machine tools has been being a serious problem for engineers for many decades. Undesired relative vibrations between the tool and the work-piece jeopardize the quality of the machine surfaces during cutting.
Many Condition Monitoring Techniques are available to monitor the machine tool experimentally. Among these techniques, vibration monitoring is the most widely used technique because most of the failures in the machine tool could be due to increased vibration level.
In the present study, the vibration analysis of a lathe machine component has been investigated. The governing equation of motion of a lathe machine component is formulated using modal analysis approach. Given lathe machine tool is discretised into equivalent six lumped mass system which is having six degrees of freedom and the equivalent model is considered for the development of equation of motion of the machine tool. The natural frequencies and respective mode shapes are estimated using modal analysis. Furthermore, the displacement at each lumped mass is evaluated to investigate the transmission of steady state response to the machine tool. The precautionary measures are also suggested to reduce the transmission of the steady state response.
