AbstractThe IPT system has been studied for underwater applications such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and subsea sensors. However, it rarely comparatively shows the performance of the IPT system in air, freshwater, and seawater. Based on the fore‐mentioned research background, this paper presents a survey of the properties of the IPT system in different mediums. Here, a 100 W power‐level experimental IPT prototype is built and tested. The resonant frequency is set at 300 kHz with a gap range from 10 to 190 mm. The comparison is focused on the efficiency, mutual inductance, coupling coefficient, coil resistance, and quality factor of the IPT system. The IPT system is placed in air, freshwater, and seawater with the same settings. What's more, the magnetic fields of coupling coils in air, freshwater, and seawater are presented in this paper. This paper could be acted as a reference to optimize the IPT system and facilitate future IPT research for underwater applications by analysing the performance of the IPT system in different mediums. The 3D Ansys Maxwell simulation of the IPT system is also given here to study the magnetic fields.
Apprentissage entre pairs : enseigner aux étudiants en médecine à enseigner
Authors: Nendaz Mathieu 
Published: February 2023

Contexte et problématique : L’enseignement par les pairs est fréquemment utilisé durant le curriculum médical prégradué ainsi qu’en formation postgraduée. Exégèse : Une méta-analyse récente en démontre une efficacité de taille modérée surtout présente durant des activités cliniques plutôt que précliniques, portant sur des habiletés pratiques plutôt que sur l’acquisition théorique. Pour soutenir l’acquisition de compétences en enseignement par les étudiants, des recommandations fondées sur une revue narrative ont été proposées. Nos institutions de formation devraient instaurer des programmes de formation longitudinaux obligatoires pour entraîner les étudiants-enseignant-es, en se fondant sur une approche par compétences. Conclusion : Malgré des arguments probants soutenant cette approche et une injonction des référentiels de compétences utilisés par nos institutions de formation, de tels programmes sont encore trop rares et devraient être plus largement introduits pour assurer le continuum entre l’enseignement pré-gradué et post-gradué.
Tibial Tuberosity Transposition Tool Technique in Combination with Distal Femoral Lateral Closing Wedge Osteotomy for Patellar Luxation Treatment in Five Dogs
Authors: Curuci Eloy Henrique Pares , Hespanha Ana Carolina Valentim , Dias Luis Gustavo Gosuen Gonçalves , Minto Bruno Watanabe 
Published: February 2023

AbstractMedial patellar luxation is a multifactorial condition resulting from a misalignment of the stifle extensor mechanism. Several techniques have been described for correcting this condition, depending on the specific morphological changes identified. This case series describes the combination of tibial tuberosity transposition tool techniques and distal lateral femoral closing wedge osteotomy in the treatment of dogs with medial patellar luxation. A combination of these two techniques was used in five dogs with varying degrees of medial luxation of the patella resulting from distal femoral varus and less than 20 degrees distal external torsion of the tibia. The combination of techniques allowed the alignment of the stifle extensor mechanism and corrected medial patellar luxation in all dogs. Radiographic bone union occurred in all dogs, with a mean time of 30 ± 2 days for tibial osteotomy and 48 ± 16 days for the femur. There was no recurrence of patellar dislocation, and no complications developed in any animal during a 1-year-long observation period. This case series demonstrates that the combination of tibial tuberosity transposition tool techniques and distal lateral femoral closing wedge osteotomy can be an effective treatment for medial patellar luxation associated with distal femoral varus with external tibial torsion less than 20 degrees.
Key drivers of brand trust in a Latin American airline: the impact of Colombia’s Avianca customer experience

Published: February 2023

AbstractTrust in a company's brand is essential for businesses that rely on repeat business from customers. In light of this, this study aims to investigate the key factors that drive customer trust in airline brands within the Latin American context. In order to accomplish this goal, an augmented version of AIRQUAL was utilized to evaluate Colombian native customers' perceptions of the customer experience (CX) provided by Avianca, a well-known and highly regarded airline active in Latin America. AIRQUAL is a model used to evaluate the quality of airline service proposed by Nadiri et al. (2008). It consists of five dimensions: airline tangibles, terminal tangibles, personnel services, empathy, and image. These dimensions were expanded to capture additional touchpoints identified in the literature. They represent internal and external touchpoints that make up the airline customer experience, resulting in a more robust research model. The additional dimensions, namely the impact of perceptions associated with other customers and the process of the purchase experience, were incorporated to account for a more holistic assessment of the experience provided. They also help capture the three stages of the experience provided by the airline as proposed by Namukasa (2013) before, during, and after the flight. The examined drivers of brand trust in the proposed model were the dimensions of the augmented AIRQUAL model and a measure of CX. Results indicate that while most dimensions impact brand trust, CX was identified as the key driver of brand trust and acted as a mediator of the dimensions of the augmented AIRQUAL and brand trust. According to the findings of this research, all three aspects of service quality—pre-flight service quality, in-flight service quality, and post-flight service quality—are of comparable significance and have a significant bearing on how customers evaluate their experiences.
Exactly how dangerous is drink driving? An examination of vehicle crash data to identify the comparative risks of alcohol-related crashes
Authors: Love Steven , Rowland Bevan , Davey Jeremy 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to explore how specific situational variables (remoteness, speed zones, days of the week, hours of the day) and risk factors (risky behaviours and road-related conditions) might influence the comparative likelihood and severity of alcohol-related crashes (ARCs). Vehicle crash data (N = 63,226) were analysed and included the details of crashes between 2015 and 2019. In comparison to non-ARCs, ARCs were up to two times more likely to occur in rural areas and on weekdays, and two to four times more likely in the late evening and early morning (6 p.m. to 6 a.m.). In addition, risky road conditions and driving behaviours were found to significantly increase both ARC likelihood and severity, with some factors (e.g., speeding) increasing fatality risk by up to nine times. Overall, this study highlights the specific risks associated with drink driving and highlights situational factors that may increase crash risk.

Published: February 2023

Objectives
Auditory cortex in each hemisphere mostly receives the sounds from the opposite ear. The present study aimed at the contralateral dominance of auditory brainstem response (ABR) among the ears in preterm neonates by comparing sex and gestational age.

Methods
Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) were recorded at 3 months postconceptional age (PCA). The performance of two ears in ABR was compared. In addition, performance of each ear was analysed in females and males. A comparison of moderate gestational age also was performed. Twenty preterm neonates from 32 to 36 weeks gestational age admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Shafizadeh Children’s Hospital were participated.

Results
No significant asymmetry in ABR absolute latency and inter-peak intervals of right and left ears in preterm infants was noticed. Females and males did not demonstrate statistically significant values in ABR latencies. Moreover, the results of four gestational ages were not statistically different from each other.

Conclusion
The maturation of the auditory brainstem pathways most likely take places in both hemispheres simultaneously, independent of sex in preterm infants. Changes of gestational age in each month do not impact on the maturation of the auditory brain pathways.
Understanding element solution energies in nickelbase alloys using machine learning
Authors: Bäker Martin 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe design of nickelbase superalloys requires to tune the content of different phases with a composition of Ni3A, either to strengthen the alloy (γ′-phase, Ni3Al,γ″-phase, Ni3Nb) or to influence its grain size and avoid embrittlement (δ-phase, Ni3Nb,η-phase, Ni3Ti). Here, we use a machine-learning-inspired approach to understand the influence of elemental properties on the energy of an alloying element in the respective phases. It is shown that the energy inγ″,δ, andηcan be fitted well using the Bader charge and the volume of the element in a nickel matrix. In the case ofγ′, the small lattice mismatch requires a fit not involving the volume, but the bond order instead. We also show that the frequently usedMd-parameter can be predicted from the properties of an element in a pure nickel matrix. Finally, the physical basis of the results is discussed in detail.

Abstract
We studied the temperature dependent transport properties and memory behaviour of ultrathin black phosphorus field-effect transistors. The devices show electrical conductance and field-effect mobility that decreases with the rising temperature. The field effect mobility, which depends also on the gate voltage sweep range, is 283 cm2V−1s−1 at 150 K and reduces to 33 cm2V−1s−1 at 340 K, when the voltage gate sweep range is

±

50 V. The transfer characteristics show a hysteresis width that increases with the temperature and is exploited to enable non-volatile memories with a wider programming window at higher temperatures.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of materials with various useful properties, and it is worthwhile to have a thorough evaluation of the characteristics of the TMDs, most importantly, their structural stability and exfoliability, in a systematic fashion. Here, by employing high-throughput first-principles calculations, we investigate the vast phase space of TMDs, including 16 bulk phases and 6 monolayer phases for all possible TMD combinations [comprising (3d, 4d, 5d) transition-metal cations and (S, Se, Te) anions], totaling 1386 compounds. Through the ‘bird-view’ of the as-large-as-possible configurational and chemical space of TMDs, our work presents comprehensive energy landscapes to elucidate the thermodynamic stability as well as the exfoliability of TMDs, which are of vital importance for future synthesis and exploration towards large-scale industrial applications.

The Importance of Being First: Economic and Non-economic Dimensions of Inventorship in American and German Law
Authors: Assaf-Zakharov Katya , Herzog Lisa 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This Article examines the right to be acknowledged as the first inventor of a new technology in patent law. Technological inventions usually result from cumulative research and development, and several people sometimes arrive at the same invention almost simultaneously. However, only one person is usually considered to be the “inventor,” and receives all the credit and honor.
This Article focuses on the legal systems of Germany and the United States, comparing how they conceptualize the right to be seen as inventor. These systems have developed in substantially different philosophical and cultural climates: while the German legal system has been deeply influenced by Kantian and Hegelian thought, the American legal system has been inspired more strongly by liberal and utilitarian ideas. These two schools of philosophical thought have different perspectives on the relationship between personal identity and work; while the German tradition emphasizes the deeply personal relation between individuals and their work, the Anglo-Saxon approach is, in general, more instrumentalist and utilitarian with regard to work.
One way in which these differences express themselves is the different ways in which the right to be acknowledged as the first inventor is understood and regulated. The right to be acknowledged as the first inventor is deeply connected with one’s identity as a professional, whether an engineer, technician, or scientist. On the other hand, this right does not necessarily have pecuniary significance. Hence, the protection of the right to be considered as the first inventor allows a glimpse into the different visions of identity and work found in these legal systems.
This Article examines to what extent German and American legal systems recognize and protect the right to be perceived as the first inventor. It demonstrates that the two legal systems differ profoundly in the ways they perceive and protect the right to be considered as the first inventor. True to its visions of professional dignity, German law carefully protects this right, independently from any pecuniary interests. In contrast, American law grants a remarkably weak protection to the right to be considered as the first inventor, focusing primarily on its monetary aspects. Hence, one can here discover different visions of the role of individuals in society, and specifically of the role of individuals as creators and not just consumers. What is at stake here is whether questions of honor, dignity, and symbolic property, above and beyond material benefits, are recognized as playing a role in the economic system.
Alcohol Misuse Among Youth Living With and at High Risk for Acquiring HIV During the COVID-19 Stay-at-Home Orders: A Study in Los Angeles and New Orleans

Published: February 2023

Abstract

Background
To slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus, governments across the globe instituted stay-at-home orders leading to increased stress and social isolation. Not surprisingly, alcohol sales increased during this period. While most studies primarily focused on alcohol consumption among college students or adults, this study investigates alcohol misuse among marginalized youth in the USA. We examined risk factors associated with hazardous alcohol use and binge drinking including risk behaviors, life stressors and demographic characteristics.

Methods
In October 2020, youth living with or at high risk for acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), participating in community-based research to improve HIV prevention and care, were invited to complete an online survey to assess the impact of the stay-at-home orders on multiple aspects of their daily life.

Results
Respondents (n = 478) were on average 23 years old; cisgender (84%), not-heterosexual (86.6%), Latino or Black/African American (73%) and assigned male at birth (83%); 52% reported being employed and 14% reported living with HIV. White participants and those who use drugs had higher odds of hazardous alcohol use and binge drinking, compared with other race categories and non-drug users, respectively.

Conclusion
Contrary to findings from adult studies, we did not observe an increase in hazardous or binge drinking among youth at risk for HIV. Hazardous alcohol use and binge drinking was more likely among White participants, those who use drugs and those who were hazardous/binge drinkers prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, which points to the importance of identifying and treating youth who misuse alcohol early to prevent future alcohol misuse.
Social Work Interventions with Children under 5 in Scotland: Over a Quarter Referred and One in Seventeen Investigated with Wide Variations between Local Authorities
Authors: Bilson Andy , Macleod Marion 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This article uses information from freedom of information requests to find the rate of children who were subject to social work interventions in Scotland before the age of 5. It finds that more than one in every four children were referred to social work and provides the rates for other types of interventions including children investigated for child protection, becoming looked after and being adopted. Despite differences in legislation and the judicial system, the study shows many similarities in rates of intervention in Scotland to similar longitudinal studies in England. The study found wide variations between local authorities in rates of these different interventions, which for most interventions was moderately correlated with deprivation and, in the case of the high disparities in rates of referral and child protection investigation, had little correlation with deprivation. The likelihood of children’s involvement with social work varied markedly depending on where they lived.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the interactions of composite materials obtained by adding single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) to polyetherimide (ULTEM) in different weight ratios with various organic solvents, and to evaluate the solubility of composites in these organic solvents. The characterization of prepared composites was performed with SEM analysis. Thermodynamic properties of ULTEM/SWCNT composites were determined by the inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method at 260–285°C in infinite dilution. According to the IGC method, the retention behaviors were examined by passing different organic solvent vapors over the composites used as stationary phase, and retention diagrams were drawn using the obtained retention data. Thermodynamic parameters including Flory–Huggins interaction parameters (${\chi}_{12}^{\infty }$), equation of state interaction parameters (${\chi}_{12}^{\ast }$), weight fraction activity coefficients in infinite dilution (${\Omega}_1^{\infty }$), effective exchange energy parameters (${\chi}_{\mathrm{eff}}$), partial molar sorption enthalpies ($\Delta{\overline{H}}_1^S$), partial molar dissolution enthalpies in infinite dilution ($\Delta{\overline{H}}_1^{\infty }$) and molar evaporation enthalpies ($\Delta{\overline{H}}_v$) were calculated using the linear retention diagrams. According to ${\chi}_{12}^{\infty }$, ${\chi}_{12}^{\ast }$, ${\Omega}_1^{\infty }$ and ${\chi}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ values, organic solvents were found to be poor solvents for composites at all temperatures. Besides, the solubility parameters of composites were determined by IGC method at infinite dilution.

Abstract

Background
Pre-existing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), cognitive impairment, and the high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) complicate the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in older women. The presence of pyuria remains the cornerstone of UTI diagnosis. However, &gt;90% of ASB patients have pyuria, prompting unnecessary treatment. We quantified pyuria by automated microscopy and flowcytometry to determine the diagnostic accuracy for UTI and to derive pyuria thresholds for UTI in older women.

Methods
Women ≥65 years with ≥2 new-onset LUTS and 1 uropathogen ≥104 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL were included in the UTI group. Controls were asymptomatic and classified as ASB (1 uropathogen ≥105 CFU/mL), negative culture, or mixed flora. Patients with an indwelling catheter or antimicrobial pretreatment were excluded. Leukocyte medians were compared and sensitivity–specificity pairs were derived from a receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results
We included 164 participants. UTI patients had higher median urinary leukocytes compared with control patients (microscopy: 900 vs 26 leukocytes/µL; flowcytometry: 1575 vs 23 leukocytes/µL; P &lt; .001). Area under the curve was 0.93 for both methods. At a cutoff of 264 leukocytes/µL, sensitivity and specificity of microscopy were 88% (positive and negative likelihood ratio: 7.2 and 0.1, respectively). The commonly used cutoff of 10 leukocytes/µL had a poor specificity (36%) and a sensitivity of 100%.

Conclusions
The degree of pyuria can help to distinguish UTI in older women from ASB and asymptomatic controls with pyuria. Current pyuria cutoffs are too low and promote inappropriate UTI diagnosis in older women.
