AbstractBackgroundFetal deaths are a major source of information on the epidemiology of neural tube defects (NTDs; anencephaly and myelomeningocele). We analyzed NTDs prevalence and secular trend using fetal death records between 1994 and 2019 in Argentina.Materials and MethodsData were obtained from the Department of Statistics and Information of the Ministry of Health (DEIS). Using the number of fetal deaths due to anencephaly and myelomeningocele, we estimated the proportion of all fetal deaths due to anencephaly, myelomeningocele, and NTDs (anencephaly + myelomeningocele) during pre‐ and post‐fortification period in Argentina. We also estimated the ratio of fetal deaths due to anencephaly, myelomeningocele, and NTDs (anencephaly + myelomeningocele) to 10,000 live births. Secular trend in the outcomes was analyzed using a Poisson model and Joinpoint regression analysis.ResultsIn the entire period analyzed, the NTD proportion on fetal deaths was 1.32. In 1994, NTDs accounted for 34.7% of congenital malformations fetal deaths (CM) and 1.7% of all fetal deaths, whereas in 2019, these percentages were 9.4% and 0.5%, respectively. NTDs present a negative secular trend (p < .05). The risk of fetal death due to anencephaly and myelomeningocele decreases between 2005 and 2019 by 67% and 51% respectively (p < .05) in comparison to the period between 1994 and 2004 before the effective fortification of wheat flour used in the food industry destined for the domestic market.Discussion and ConclusionWe found a significant decrease in the risk of all fetal deaths due to NTDs, particularly anencephaly, in Argentina over the study period, with most reduction observed during the mandatory flour fortification era (introduced in Argentina in 2002). The inclusion of fetal deaths in NTD surveillance, coupled or uncoupled with other pregnancy outcomes, is essential for monitoring preventive supplementation measures.

Published: September 2023

AbstractA smart nanocomposite adhesive was created to facilitate a simple production of long‐persistent photoluminescent and hydrophobic commercial products. Even after being left in the dark for up to 90 min, the created photoluminescent adhesive agent continued to generate light. A surface‐specific nanocomposite adhesive agent consisting of lanthanide‐activated strontium aluminate (LSA) nanoparticles (NPs; 5–14 nm) immobilized in the environmentally friendly Arabic gum (AG) was developed. A light‐transmitting nanocomposite adhesive agent was manufactured by dispersing LSA nanoparticles evenly across the AG matrix without agglomeration. An excitation peak at 365 nm and an emission wavelength at 519 nm were observed for the prepared adhesives at different concentrations of LSA NPs. The emission spectra showed either fluorescence or afterglow phosphorescence, depending on the LSA ratio. The photochromic transition from colourless to green beneath an ultraviolet (UV) lamp and greenish yellow in a dark room was tracked. The LSA NPs in the Arabic gum matrix imparted enhanced hydrophobicity and scratch resistance to the LSA@AG nanocomposite. The LSA@AG nanocomposite demonstrated excellent durability and photostability. This study confirmed that the mass production of smart adhesives for applications such as smart windows, smart packaging, and safety directional signs in buildings is possible.

AbstractIn existing dynamic market place, supply chain disruptions have become a common phenomenon. Emergence of new technologies coupled with variable customer demand and uncertain pandemic has fueled the disruptions across the supply chain ecosystem. To cater the unanticipated disruptions, supply chains of every business has to be circular and sustainable and construction industry is no exception to this. The present study concentrates on identifying the major performance indicators of resilient Construction Supply Chain (CSC) and prioritize the most significant ones. Fuzzy–Decision Making Trial And Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to reveal the influential relationship of performance indicators on the resilience level in CSCs. Further, a strategy map is prepared to highlight the organizational strategy and cause‐effect approach. The findings from study revealed that maintaining appropriate security level, strong collaboration among supply chain partners, efficient supply chain designs, ability to detect discrepancies, bottlenecks, and vulnerabilities, and conservation of resources to facilitate sustainable operations are the top seven performance indicators that are evident in the causal group for sustainable CSC. In the effect group, prominent performance indicators are flexibility, financial strength, and efficient allocation of resources. The study adds on to the existing literature by identifying and analyzing significant performance indicators for establishing resilient, sustainable and circular practices in the construction industry.
Predicting the value‐based determinants of sustainable luxury consumption: A multi‐analytical approach and pathway to sustainable development in the luxury industry
Authors: Essiz Oguzhan , Senyuz Aysu 
Published: September 2023

AbstractConcern for the environment is prevalent among luxury consumers, and sustainable development has become a pervasive theme in the luxury industry. However, there has been limited empirical research on the burgeoning area of sustainable luxury to profile the characteristics of sustainable luxury consumers. In this research, we explore how value perceptions impact consumers' purchase intentions for sustainable luxury products by building an integrated predictive framework based on the theory of consumption values. We deploy a hybrid partial least squares structural equation modeling–artificial neural network approach with additional importance‐performance map analyses to study a sample of 894 luxury consumers in the United States. The empirical findings show that sustainable luxury is profoundly value‐driven. After accounting for linear and nonlinear patterns, functional, emotional, epistemic, conditional, and green consumption values exhibit significant positive impacts on purchase intention, with the exception of social value. Further, we elucidate a theoretically grounded mediator (conspicuous ethical self‐identity) and a moderator (green advertising receptivity) that buffer the link between consumption values and purchase intention. We also uncover cross‐generational disparities, in which millennials—compared to Gen X—display greater conspicuous ethical self‐identity as well as higher levels of green advertising receptivity and purchase intention. From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to sustainability marketing literature and advances our understanding of the psychographic, behavioral, and demographic factors that influence sustainable luxury consumption. On a managerial basis, this research offers insights for luxury brand practitioners on how to leverage multidimensional value perceptions in their sustainable product positioning and communication strategies.
How clinical psychologists respond to child safeguarding dilemmas: A qualitative study

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis research aimed to explore how clinical psychologists respond to child safeguarding dilemmas, with special attention to the role of psychology in child welfare. Transcripts from 20 semi‐structured interviews with clinical psychologists working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in England were analysed using a qualitative framework approach. In these interviews, two family case vignettes were used to examine how psychologists respond to child safeguarding dilemmas. We identified three overarching themes: operating within a system of stretched resources; characterising who is considered ‘supportable’ by psychological services; and challenges around conceptualising and responding to risk. Clinical psychologists viewed social services as responsible for family cases with safeguarding concerns and were reluctant to engage in high‐risk cases where stability in the home was not yet established. They saw their role in child welfare primarily as sense‐makers for families, by offering a contextualised explanation/formulation for the presenting difficulties.
Foot‐constrained spatial‐temporal transformer for keyframe‐based complex motion synthesis
Authors: Li Hao , Dai Ju , Zeng Rui , Bai Junxuan , Chen Zhangmeng , Pan Junjun 
Published: September 2023

AbstractKeyframe‐based motion synthesis holds significant effects in games and movies. Existing methods for complex motion synthesis often require secondary post‐processing to eliminate foot sliding to yield satisfied motions. In this paper, we analyze the cause of the sliding issue attributed to the mismatch between root trajectory and motion postures. To address the problem, we propose a novel end‐to‐end Spatial‐Temporal transformer network conditioned on foot contact information for high‐quality keyframe‐based motion synthesis. Specifically, our model mainly compromises a spatial‐temporal transformer encoder and two decoders to learn motion sequence features and predict motion postures and foot contact states. A novel constrained embedding, which consists of keyframes and foot contact constraints, is incorporated into the model to facilitate network learning from diversified control knowledge. To generate matched root trajectory with motion postures, we design a differentiable root trajectory reconstruction algorithm to construct root trajectory based on the decoder outputs. Qualitative and quantitative experiments on the public LaFAN1, Dance, and Martial Arts datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method in generating high‐quality complex motions compared with state‐of‐the‐arts.

AbstractBackgroundHigh‐dose carboplatin is an essential part of curative high‐dose chemotherapy (HDCT) for patients with previously treated germ cell tumors (GCTs). Although hearing loss (HL) is a known side effect of HDCT, data on its severity and characteristics are limited.MethodsEligible patients received HDCT for GCTs from 1993 to 2017 and had audiograms before and after HDCT. HL severity was classified by American Speech‐Language‐Hearing Association criteria, and mean change in hearing threshold at each frequency (0.25–8 kHz) was estimated from pre‐ to post‐HDCT and between HDCT cycles.ResultsOf 115 patients (median age, 32 years), 102 (89%) received three cycles of HDCT. Of 106 patients with normal hearing to mild HL in the speech frequencies (0.5–4 kHz) before HDCT, 70 (66%) developed moderate to profound HL in the speech frequencies after HDCT. Twenty‐five patients (22%) were recommended for hearing aids after HDCT. Patients with moderate to profound HL isolated to the higher frequencies (6–8 kHz) before HDCT were more likely to develop moderate to profound HL in the speech frequencies after HDCT (94% vs. 61%; p = .01) and to be recommended for hearing aids (39% vs. 18%; p = .05).ConclusionsHL was frequent after HDCT for GCTs, with most patients developing at least moderate HL in the speech frequencies and approximately one in five recommended for hearing aids. Moderate to profound HL isolated to high frequencies at baseline was predictive of more clinically significant hearing impairment after HDCT.Plain Language Summary

Some patients with germ cell tumors, the most common malignancy in adolescent and young adult men, are not cured with standard‐dose chemotherapy and require high‐dose chemotherapy (HDCT).
Using detailed hearing assessments of patients receiving HDCT, we found that most patients developed significant hearing loss and that one in five needed hearing aids.
Thus, strategies to reduce this side effect are urgently needed, and all patients receiving HDCT should have a hearing test after therapy.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn recent years, research on corporate sustainability integration strategies has witnessed a significant growth in interest. However, contributions remain disjointed and fragmented, preventing the emergence of a cohesive understanding of the current research state. This study uses a systematic review of 126 articles from Web of Science (WoS) and Ebsco to extract a seven‐dimensional integrated view of corporate sustainability integration strategies. Our review's contributions are threefold: (1) we enrich the corporate sustainability strategies literature by identifying the focuses and themes of recent publications; (2) we address the research's fragmentation issue by presenting the sustainability implementation strategies in an integrated view with the essential interdependencies shown at different hierarchical levels and across organizational dimensions simultaneously, (3) we present the theoretical and managerial implications and discuss in detail the crucial interdependencies of sustainability integration strategies. The study finishes with a conclusion highlighting potential avenues for future research.
High‐precision state of charge estimation of lithium‐ion batteries based on improved particle swarm optimization‐backpropagation neural network‐dual extended Kalman filtering
Authors: Chen Lu , Wang Shunli , Chen Lei , Qiao Jialu , Fernandez Carlos 
Published: September 2023

SummaryHigh‐precision state of charge (SOC) estimation is essential for battery management systems (BMSs). In this paper, a new SOC estimation method is proposed. The dual Kalman filter algorithm and backpropagation neural network (particle swarm optimization ‐ backpropagation neural network ‐ double extended Kalman filter [PSO‐BPNN‐DEKF]) are combined to estimate and correct the SOC of lithium‐ion batteries, in which the initial weight and threshold of the BPNN are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm. Based on the second‐order RC equivalent circuit model, parameter identification is carried out using the adaptive forgetting factor least squares (AFFRLS) method. Online parameter updates and SOC estimation are realized by DEKF algorithm. Then, the trained PSO‐BPNN is used to predict the SOC estimation error in real time, and the SOC estimation value is corrected by adding prediction errors. The SOC estimates before and after correction under Beijing Dynamic Stress Test (BBDST), dynamic stress test (DST), and hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) were compared. Under BBDST, DST, and HPPC tests, the maximum errors of the corrected SOC estimates are 0.0107, 0.0090, and 0.0147, respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the corrected SOC estimates decreased by 94.02%, 83.18%, and 88.03%, respectively, compared with the extended Kalman filtering (EKF). The mean absolute error (MAE) of the corrected SOC estimates remained around 0.1% for all the BBDST dynamic operating conditions at different temperatures. The experimental results demonstrate the accuracy, effectiveness, and temperature adaptability of the proposed algorithm for SOC estimation under complex conditions of lithium‐ion batteries.
A single‐phase seven‐level buck‐boost common ground transformerless inverter for grid‐connected photovoltaic system

Published: September 2023

AbstractTransformerless inverters have recently gained attention in view of their economic benefits and compactness for photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, the limited voltage regulation and common‐mode (CM) leakage current are major concerns in conventional transformerless PV inverters. This paper presents a single‐phase seven‐level buck‐boost common ground transformerless inverter (SLB2CGTLI) to achieve a wide range of output voltages and zero leakage current without any additional stages, respectively. The proposed converter utilizes switched capacitor (SC) cell to buck‐boost the input DC voltage and generates seven‐level voltage at the output terminals. A simple reconfiguration strategy is adopted in the switched capacitor cell to maintain the charge‐second balance across the capacitors. Moreover, the common ground between the AC grid neutral and the PV panel's negative terminal mitigates the leakage current completely. The theoretical steady state analysis for both buck and boost mode is presented and verified with simulation using MATLAB Simulink. The performance of the proposed inverter is analyzed and validated with experimental results by developing a laboratory prototype. Further, the dynamic response of the proposed converter is carried out using OP4510 real‐time simulator for the grid‐connected PV application.
