AbstractIn this paper, the two‐dimensional (2D) (0°/90°) plain‐woven Amosic‐3 SiC/SiC turbine guide vane (TGV) was fabricated using the chemical vapor infiltration method. Thermal and stress analysis of the TGV was conducted using the finite element method analysis. Multiple thermal shock tests at T = 1250, 1350, 1400, 1420, 1450, 1470, and 1480°C were conducted for N = 100, 100, 400, 300, 200, 200, and 700 cycles. After thermal shock tests, the surface damage of the TGV was observed visually, and the micro damage mechanism was analyzed using the scanning electronic microscopy. Micro X‐ray computed tomography was adopted to characterize the internal damages in the SiC/SiC guide vanes. The delamination occurred at the positions approaching internal hollow, due to the weak binding force along the thickness direction and the high thermal shock stress caused by the temperature change. The diameter, area, volume, and sphericity distributions of the pores inside of the guide vanes were also obtained.

SummaryThis study aimed to optimise an orange flavour gluten‐free cake formulation using rice flour, teff, sorghum and yacon. Nine cake formulations were initially submitted for acceptance and purchase intent tests with 66 assessors, where colour, odour, flavour, texture and overall acceptance were judged. After the result of the acceptance test and purchase intention, an optimised formulation (OP) was elaborated through the desirability function. This formulation was composed of 25% rice flour, 60% sorghum flour and 15% teff flour. After that, the sensory test of the Flash Profile was carried out to evaluate the consensus of the assessors about the optimised formulation, and for the 33 assessors of the Flash Profile test, with the method of analysis by Common Dimensions (ComDim), 92.29% described the F3 formulations (100% teff) and FO (optimised) are similar. This can be explained by the fact that the formulations have teff flour in their composition, while formulations F1 and F2 are made only with 100% rice flour and 100% sorghum flour, respectively. It was found that it is possible to use the flour under study to develop gluten‐free cakes with orange flavour with good sensory acceptance.

SummaryChaptalisation is commonly used to ameliorate the potential alcohol of kiwi wine prior to fermentation. It can be performed either by one‐time sugaring or via multiple supplementations of sugar. However, for both approaches, their precise effects on chemical composition of kiwi wine are unclear. Thus, this study evaluated the influence of five different multi‐step chaptalisation strategies on physicochemical parameters, potentially harmful alcohols, nutritional composition and volatile compounds of kiwi wine. Results show that multi‐step chaptalisation significantly reduced total acidity and harmful alcohols of the resulting kiwi wine. Among the harmful alcohols, the greatest reduction was seen for isoamyl alcohol and isobutanol. Additionally, multi‐step chaptalisation also modified volatile profile of the kiwi wine, particularly in acetate esters (isoamyl acetate and phenethyl acetate), ethyl esters, n‐octanal and decanal. Together, our results highlight the potential of using multi‐step chaptalisation to produce ‘healthier’ kiwi wines with more balanced alcohol and more complexed flavour.

SummaryThe study aimed to combine Pivot© Profile and Check‐all‐that‐apply (CATA) sensory techniques to determine the sensory attributes of adulterated honey and the impact of honey adulteration on consumer liking, emotions, and memories. Consumers (130) performed the Pivot technique to generate the sensory vocabulary. The CATA technique was then used to filter the relevant attributes from samples. This process allowed to reduce the preliminary list from Pivot© Profile (50 attributes) to 12 relevant attributes. Consumers determined liking, emotions and memories on each sample. Regarding preference, the pivot samples and honey with 20% and 40% adulteration were located in the 40% and 80% preference regions in the PREFMAP. The adulterated honey with 60% and 80% had the lowest preference, causing their total rejection. This may be associated with emotions (Aggressive, Disgusted and Bored) and negative memories (Pain, Interpersonal conflict, and Poverty). The combined use of Pivot© and CATA sensory techniques allows for the identification of sensory attributes associated with adulteration. An increase in honey adulteration was associated with negative emotions and memories evoked in consumers that may lead to the rejection of honey.

SummaryWe have studied the impact of different concentrations of GOX on corn doughs' processing characteristics and protein structure. The doughs were frozen for different periods, and the quality of their products, like corn tortillas, was studied. The results showed that adding GOX attenuated the adverse effects of ice crystals produced during the freezing period and improved the dough's viscoelasticity and low‐temperature stability. In addition, GOX further enhanced its water‐holding capacity, limited water mobility, and re‐established the dough's secondary structure. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that GOX improved the texture and delayed the staling rate of corn tortillas prepared with fresh and frozen corn dough. We further concluded that 100 mg kg−1 of GOX exhibited the best improvement effect on the corn dough characteristics and quality of the produced tortillas.

AbstractBackgroundNational Influenza Centers (NICs) have played a crucial role in the surveillance of SARS‐CoV‐2. The FluCov project, covering 22 countries, was initiated to monitor the impact of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic on influenza activity.MethodsThis project consisted of an epidemiological bulletin and NIC survey. The survey, designed to assess the impact of the pandemic on the influenza surveillance system, was shared with 36 NICs located across 22 countries. NICs were invited to reply between November 2021 and March 2022.ResultsWe received 18 responses from NICs in 14 countries. Most NICs (76%) indicated that the number of samples tested for influenza decreased. Yet, many NICs (60%) were able to increase their laboratory testing capacity and the “robustness” (e.g., number of sentinel sites) (59%) of their surveillance systems. In addition, sample sources (e.g., hospital or outpatient setting) shifted. All NICs reported a higher burden of work following the onset of the pandemic, with some NICs hiring additional staff or partial outsourcing to other institutes or departments. Many NICs anticipate the future integration of SARS‐CoV‐2 surveillance into the existing respiratory surveillance system.DiscussionThe survey shows the profound impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 on national influenza surveillance in the first 27 months of the pandemic. Surveillance activities were temporarily disrupted, whilst priority was given to SARS‐CoV‐2. However, most NICs have shown rapid adaptive capacity underlining the importance of strong national influenza surveillance systems. These developments have the potential to benefit global respiratory surveillance in the years to come; however, questions about sustainability remain.
From plague to plague: COVID‐19 and the New Decameron(s)
Authors: Angeletti Valerio 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article reflects on the role of narration in times of crisis. Drawing on studies on storytelling and bibliotherapy, it compares the Decameron, a collection of short stories written during and immediately after the 1348 Black Death, with two Decameron‐based collections written during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic: The New York Times Magazine's The Decameron Project: 29 Stories From the Pandemic and Nuovo Decameron. The article argues that narration has two ways of relating to times of crisis: as an escape from reality and as a therapeutic means of overcoming trauma. Both ways emphasize that storytelling is a future‐oriented tool that can have a positive impact on both the individual and the community: sometimes finding unexpected silver linings, sometimes making sense of a reality that seems surreal. In this sense, the article concludes, the narration is a process of choral reconstruction that brings life back to the stage.
Flash in argon atmosphere yields electronically conducting yttria‐stabilized zirconia at ambient temperature

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis is the second report on the retention of electronic conductivity in yttria‐stabilized zirconia at room temperature after cooling down from the state of flash . In the first report, the specimens (which were flashed in air) were quenched by in‐flash immersion into liquid nitrogen. Now we show that if the specimens are flashed in Ar in a glove box (O2 < 1 ppm), then they remain electronic conductors under nominal cooling. Indeed, the conductivity of the Ar‐flashed specimens is higher than the conductivity of LN2‐quenched samples. In both instances, their conductivity increases with flash current. In contrast, specimens flashed in air, and then air‐cooled, become insulating akin to their original condition. We propose a possible pathway for such a reaction. In addition, we report measurements of the interface resistance at the anode and the cathode by the four‐point technique. In air, the resistance at anode is higher than at the cathode, and the sum of the interface resistances is about one half of the total end‐to‐end resistance.
Resolving the ethical quagmire of the persistent vegetative state
Authors: Arandjelović Ognjen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundA patient is diagnosed with the persistent vegetative state (PVS) when they show no evidence of the awareness of the self or the environment for an extended period of time. The chance of recovery of any mental function or the ability to interact in a meaningful way is low. Though rare, the condition, considering its nature as a state outwith the realm of the conscious, coupled with the trauma experienced by the patient's kin as well as health care staff confronted with painful decisions regarding the patient's care, has attracted a considerable amount of discussion within the bioethics community.AimsAt present, there is a wealth of literature that discusses the relevant neurology, that elucidates the plethora of ethical challenges in understanding and dealing with the condition, and that analyses the real‐world cases which have prominently featured in the mainstream media as a result of emotionally charged, divergent views concerning the provision of care to the patient. However, there is scarcely anything in the published scholarly literature that proposes concrete and practically actionable solutions to the now widely recognized moral conundrums. The present article describes a step in that direction.Materials & MethodsI start from the very foundations, laying out a sentientist approach which serves as the basis for the consequent moral decision‐making, and then proceed to systematically identify and deconstruct the different cases of discord, using the aforementioned foundations as the basis for their resolution.ResultsA major intellectual contribution concerns the fluidity of the duty of care which I argue is demanded by the sentientist focus.DiscussionThe said duty is shown initially to have for its object the patient, which depending on the circumstances, can change to the patient's kin, or the health care staff themselves.ConclusionIn conclusion, the proposed framework represents the first comprehensive proposal regarding the decision‐making processes involved in the deliberation on the provision of life sustaining treatment to a patient in a PVS.
Unveiling motivations and keeping what's sacred: Engaging reflexivity in a research program on diverse romantic relationships
Authors: Rice TeKisha M. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractGuided by Allen's (2023) call for developing a critical consciousness, this paper applies feminist reflexive practice to uncover the personal curiosities and contradictions that have motivated my research program on diverse romantic relationships. Specifically, I examine faith, race, and heterosexism as the root of an unresolved collision of privilege and oppression that undergird my burgeoning research program. I begin by reviewing my own positionality before sharing how my personal experiences with family and identity collided with my profession. Finally, I discuss how the personal and professional have motivated praxis, or the leveraging of research as a pathway toward social justice. In doing so, I unveil how personal motivations and complacency in oppression shaped the development of my research program in hopes of spurring innovative theorizing and empirical research rooted in the authenticity of lived experiences.
Digital workflow for proximal adjustment of teeth adjacent to implant‐supported fixed restorations using a predesigned computer‐aided grinding guide
Authors: Shi Lei , Lu Hongye , Xu Xia , Zheng JiaJia , Hu Jun 
Published: May 2023

AbstractClinically, the proximal surfaces of teeth adjacent to an implant restoration usually need to be adjusted to build a preferable adjacency relationship. However, it is difficult for freehand preparation to get a favorable proximal contour in some cases. In the workflow presented here, virtual grinding can be made to adjacent teeth, under the consideration of functional reconstruction and biological requirements, and then the grinding can be implemented using digital templates and a specialized bur. This allows for more precise and accurate adjustments to be made during the clinical procedure, reducing the risk of over‐ or under‐preparation of the proximal surfaces. In addition, the use of specialized diamond burs and grinding guides can make the procedure more efficient and streamlined, reducing the time required for proximal adjustment and minimizing patient discomfort. The resulting implant‐supported prosthesis is more likely to function properly and last longer, as the precise proximal contacts can help distribute occlusal forces more evenly across the dentition. Overall, the use of digital technology for precise adjustment of proximal contacts during implant restorations represents an important advancement in modern dentistry, enabling dentists to provide their patients with more accurate, efficient, and effective dental care.

AbstractChina has the most numerous Danxia and Karst landscapes, which serve as special terrestrial islands harboring ample endemic species, though how did these endemic species spread among those isolated sites is still an unresolved issue. To address this question, we explored the phylogeographical structure and demographic history of Firmiana danxiaensis, a tree species endemic to Danxia and Karst landscapes. We collected 295 samples (28 populations) of F. danxiaensis. Plastid genomes were assembled for 25 representative samples. Sanger sequencing of four plastid regions and restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing were performed on the 28 populations. The phylogenetic tree constructed from plastid genomes and restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD‐seq) data supported that F. danxiaensis originated from Mount Danxia and Nanxiong Basin, spread to Karst landscapes near Yingde City, and then back to Danxia Mountain and the Nanxiong Basin. In the Nanxiong Basin, the latter arrivals captured the plastid of the former. Population analyses revealed strong population structure among and within Danxia and Karst landscapes, possibly due to low seed and pollen dispersal abilities of the species. The demographic and ecological niche modeling approaches suggested that F. danxiaensis have widely occurred in the southeast of China during the last glacial period, and later retreated to the cliffs of Danxia and Karst landscapes due to temperature rising and competition failure. The declining of the effective population size of the species throughout the postglacial period suggested that global warming, agriculture, and industrial civilizations could have affected the survival of this species, and more measures should be taken to conserve these species.
The Minimal Model of Argumentation: Qualitative data analysis for epistemic speech, text and policy
Authors: Buhagiar Luke J. , Sammut Gordon 
Published: May 2023

AbstractSocial scientific work on argumentation is yet to address the perennial tension between social cognition and social constructionism. Moreover, argumentation‐based qualitative analysis protocols are needed for interview and textual data. Nonetheless, argumentation models remain too complex to reflect everyday argumentation and are not necessarily reflective of underlying cognitive processes. This presents the need for further theorising social behaviour, with a view to formulating a model of argumentation that (a) is parsimonious, and (b) aligns with the literature on joint projects, due to the fact that in social cognition terms, argumentation is for doing. In this paper, we draw upon interdisciplinary literature on argumentation, noting convergences among different approaches. We then proceed to consider the socio‐cognitive bedding provided by Lay Epistemic Theory, to present our Minimal Model of Argumentation (MMA). In MMA, interlocutors are held to make claims concerning an issue of concern, and defend them using warrants, evidence and qualifiers. We end by providing empirical examples supporting the utility of our model in qualitative research.
Effects of acetic, malic, and citric acids on the large deformation behaviors of fish gelatin gels

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis research was aimed to quantify the effects of acetic acid, malic acid, and citric acid (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/100 g H2O) on the stress–strain responses of fish gelatin (FG) gels (2, 4, and 6.67 g/100 g H2O) under uniaxial compression up to 68% of deformation. The first‐order Ogden model fitted quite well for the compression responses of FG gels (R2 = 0.9909–0.9997). Protons from the acids played a key role on weakening the FG gel structures (gel rigidity, μ, decreased 11%–27%), as the μ values and pH values of FG gels were linearly correlated (R2 = 0.8240–0.9748), regardless of the acid type. The addition of an acid also resulted in a significant increase (p < .002) in the strain hardening capacity (α) of gels with 2 g FG/100 g H2O. Both μ and α values of FG gels with higher gelatin concentrations were less affected by an acid partly due to their stronger buffering effects. The μ and α values of FG gels as affected by acids could not be fully explained based upon the pH changes, implying that the effects of acetate, malate, and citrate ions on the gel structure could not be ignored.
Subgingival instrumentation

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe S3‐level clinical guidelines for the treatment of patients with periodontitis stages I–III published by the European Federation of Periodontology in 2020, suggest a pre‐established stepwise approach for oral‐healthcare professionals with precise therapeutic pathways. The second step of this approach consists of the subgingival instrumentation of periodontal pockets by non‐surgical means to disrupt the microbial biofilm and remove soft and mineralized deposits This step aims to resolve periodontal inflammation by closure of periodontal pockets (probing pocket depth ≤ 4 mm, absence of bleeding on probing) employing different types of instruments and treatment protocols toward this end. Novel non‐surgical treatment approaches that adopt micro instruments or subgingival application of biological agents have been recently tested. Subgingival instrumentation has been shown to effectively restore the subgingival microbiota to one associated with periodontal health and to modulate the inflammatory response. The outcomes of the subgingival instrumentation have to be evaluated in order to guide the therapist in providing additional but focused treatment in the remaining pockets OR at sites with residual inflammation. Of great importance is the impact that non‐surgical periodontal treatment has on the patient's well‐being, based on evidence that emerges from studies evaluating patient related outcomes and quality of life.
