AbstractAlthough Hispanic individuals are at an increased risk for various genetic conditions, they have lower uptake of genetic counseling and genetic testing. Virtual appointments have many advantages that may help Spanish‐speaking patients access genetic services more readily. Despite these benefits, there are limitations that may make them less attractive options for these individuals. This study aimed to determine if satisfaction with genetic counseling or mode of delivery preference differs between English‐ and Spanish‐speaking individuals who have had a virtual prenatal genetic counseling session. Participants were recruited from prenatal genetic counseling clinics at Indiana University Health and Eskenazi Hospital. A REDCap survey was sent to all eligible participants. Survey questions included mode of delivery preference for future genetic counseling sessions (virtual versus in‐person), the validated Genetic Counseling Satisfaction Scale, and questions inquiring about the importance of various factors affecting mode of delivery preference. Spanish‐speaking individuals preferred future visits to be in‐person, while English‐speaking individuals preferred future visits to be virtual (Fisher's exact p = 0.003). Several factors were associated with these preferences, including waiting time, ability to leave/take off work for an appointment, length of session, childcare arrangements, and people attending the appointment (all p < 0.05). Both language groups reported similar mean satisfaction with the genetic counseling provided during their previous virtual appointments (p = 0.51). This study found that certain aspects of virtual genetic counseling appointments make them less appealing to Spanish‐speaking individuals. Making virtual genetic counseling appointments more appealing while continuing to offer in‐person appointments may help Spanish‐speaking individuals receive necessary genetics services. Continued research into disparities and barriers to telemedicine for Spanish‐speaking patients is necessary to increase access to this service delivery model for genetic counseling.
The institutionalization of sharing economy platforms in China
Authors: Li Dun , Schoenherr Tobias 
Published: April 2023

AbstractRecent past has witnessed a great proliferation of sharing economy platforms with great successes, but also many failures on their journey toward institutionalization, that is, their establishment and acceptance in society. To develop insight on factors contributing to this institutionalization process, this paper relies on the literature in institutional entrepreneurship and investigates sharing economy platforms in China, highlighting institutional voids that are encountered, and suggesting ways on how they can be overcome. These insights are derived through a multiple case study approach involving 61 semi‐structured interviews with managers from eight sharing economy platforms (DiDi, Uber China, Huochebang, Yunmanman, OfO, Mobike, Evcard, and Zhida) across four sharing economy industries in China (ride‐sharing, logistics‐sharing, bike‐sharing, and car‐sharing). The findings highlight the importance of exchange and collaboration with stakeholders (allies) in the network, as well as the effective response to emerging issues through the adaptation of the business models. In addition, mergers and acquisitions, and the role of government are identified as critical components in aiding platforms in their progression toward institutionalization. Further cognitive, regulative, and normative factors are found to represent valuable institutional pillars that serve as a fertile foundation throughout the institutionalization process. Overall, the findings provide an intriguing insight into the journey of Chinese sharing economy platforms toward institutionalization.

Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundRoadside grass cuttings are currently considered a waste product due to their association with road sweepings as contaminated waste, therefore, their potential as a biofertilizer is understudied.AimThis study aimed to determine whether grass liquid fraction (GLF) collected from a roadside verge in Maldegem, Belgium, and pressed using a screw press was suitable as a biofertilizer.MethodsThe characterization of the heavy metal content of the GLF was conducted using an ICP‐OES. From May to September 2019, a pot experiment was set up using a randomized block design to compare tomato plant growth, yield, and nutrition for GLF‐treated plants to two commercial fertilizers and tap water as a control.ResultsThe heavy metal content of the GLF was below the maximum permissible concentrations (MPCs) for organic fertilizers as set out by the European Comission fertilizer regulation 1069/2009 and 1107/2009 (European Comission, 2019). However, despite having a fairly well‐balanced nutrient content (0.1% N, 0.04% P2O5, and 0.2% K2O), GLF had a negative effect on the growth, root weight, and yield of the tomato plants, killing six out of ten plants. GLF also promoted mold growth in the soil of some plants. Since the GLF was uncontaminated, heavy metal toxicity did not cause the negative effect.ConclusionsPrevious research showed that liquid fractions from some plants negatively affect the growth of others due to allelopathic chemicals; this, together with the stimulation of fungal growth, could have caused the negative effects observed. Future experiments will investigate the herbicidal property of GLF and possible treatments to potentially recover the nutrients contained within the GLF for application as a biofertilizer.

AbstractThis paper reports on the development of a specialized inkjet printing head and equipment for high‐resolution printing of QD dispersed inks. First, to achieve a robust process, we proposed an inkjet head design compatible with higher ink viscosity and with an ink circulation system to avoid particle aggregation. Further, we introduce a multi‐restrictor inside the head to minimize ink fluid pumping pulsations on the print head and a drive‐per‐nozzle technology with individual nozzle waveform control. Results include down to 0.8 pL ± 1.8% droplet variation across all nozzles, with a three‐sigma accuracy 1.0 μm for droplet landing position. By combining optimized ink, inkjet head, and equipment technology, we successfully fabricated color converter‐type micro‐LED display panels.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe advanced technologies of modern civilization produce radioactive wastes that require careful disposal if they cannot be recycled. These materials can originate from a variety of activities, such as scientific research, medicine, or nuclear power generation and, as such, can result in numerous waste forms. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of several less‐common metals is studied, specifically: aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, zinc, and zirconium, all under simulated cementitious environments. The data reported rely on the production of hydrogen as a corrosion end‐product to calculate the uniform corrosion rate as a function of time. At 50°C, in either young cement water (pH 13.5) or saturated portlandite (pH 12.5) and after approximately 2 years of exposure, magnesium was found to corrode at ∼10 µm/year; aluminum at 1 µm/year (portlandite only); zinc at ∼100 nm/year; lead at <1 nm/year and both copper and zirconium at less than 0.1 nm/year.

AbstractThis work addresses a comparative study focused on the synthesis of alkyd resins from different renewable resources such as chia, castor and palm vegetable oils through the alcoholysis–polycondensation process. The formed alkyd resins are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. Besides, intrinsic viscosity and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) assays are conducted to evaluate the differences between the obtained resins focusing on their molecular weight and physicochemical properties. FTIR shows a satisfactory conversion from vegetable oils to alkyd resins. Both 1H NMR and 13C NMR indicate that alkyd resins are successfully synthesized. The values for molecular‐weight dispersity (ÐM) obtained for the resins are 2.3, 1.3, and 1.7 from chia, palm, and crude castor, along with the weight‐average molecular weight (Mw) of 4516, 1025, and 2451 g mol−1, respectively. The chia alkyd resin shows a 571.92 cP and is the highest viscosity obtained. It is also observed that an increase in phthalic anhydride can increase the molecular weight of the alkyd resin. This comparative study indicates that chia oil alkyd resin has enormous potential to be employed as a surface coating agent.

AbstractThe effect of cytokines on non‐traditional immunological targets under conditions of chronic inflammation is an ongoing subject of study. Fatigue is a symptom often associated with autoimmune diseases. Chronic inflammatory response and activated cell‐mediated immunity are associated with cardiovascular myopathies which can be driven by muscle weakness and fatigue. Thus, we hypothesize that immune dysfunction‐driven changes in myocyte mitochondria may play a critical role in fatigue‐related pathogenesis. We show that persistent low‐level expression of IFN‐γ in designated IFN‐γ AU‐Rich Element deletion mice (ARE mice) under androgen exposure resulted in mitochondrial and metabolic deficiencies in myocytes from male or castrated ARE mice. Most notably, echocardiography unveiled that low ejection fraction in the left ventricle post‐stress correlated with mitochondrial deficiencies, explaining how heart function decreases under stress. We report that inefficiencies and structural changes in mitochondria, with changes to expression of mitochondrial genes, are linked to male‐biased fatigue and acute cardiomyopathy under stress. Our work highlights how male androgen hormone backgrounds and active autoimmunity reduce mitochondrial function and the ability to cope with stress and how pharmacological blockade of stress signal protects heart function. These studies provide new insight into the diverse actions of IFN‐γ in fatigue, energy metabolism, and autoimmunity. © 2023 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

A consistent approach for global buckling of steel structures
Authors: Nonn Jonas , Wilden Vera , Feldmann Markus 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe ”General Method“ according to chapter 6.3.4 of EN1993‐1‐1 or 8.3.4 of prEN1993‐1‐1 deals with the verification of stability problems of frame and beam structures with loadings in‐plane. The ”General method“ according to Eurocode is intended for the general case of a combined moment and normal force. For the choice of the reduction factor χop, there are two options for applying the reduction curve, either the minimum of lateral torsional buckling (LTB) and flexural buckling (FB) or a weighted combination of both. With the use of analytical derivations, it can be shown that this approach leads to inconsistencies which can possibly lead to incorrect results. In this paper an alternative approach is presented which leads to unification and fully mechanical justification in verification. The approach allows e.g. the verification of stability of an entire frame system directly and without interaction factors (as in the equivalent member method). In addition, the issue of a consistent equivalent imperfection is addressed. With the use of this method, geometrical non‐linear analyses of structures showing out‐of‐plane instability can be omitted; only an in‐plane calculation and a determination of a linear buckling analysis is necessary. Finally, examples are presented in this paper that demonstrate the application of the approach shown.

AbstractCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been well developed in electrocatalytic systems owing to their controllable skeletons, porosities, and functions. However, the catalytic process in COFs remains underexplored, hindering an in‐depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism. In this work, uniform Pt–N1O1Cl4 sites chelated via C–N and C=O bonds along the one‐dimensional and open channels of TP–TTA–COF were established. Different from conventional single‐metal sites constructed for the near‐free platinum for hydrogen evolution, the as‐constructed PtCl–COF showed 2e− oxygen reduction for H2O2 production. We tracked the dynamic evolution process of atomic Pt sites in which Pt–N1O1Cl4 was transformed into Pt–N1O1(OH)2 using in situ X‐ray adsorption. The theoretical calculations revealed that the strong Pt–support interaction in Pt–N1O1(OH)2 facilitated *OOH formation and thus led to higher selectivity and activity for the oxygen reduction reaction in the 2e− pathway. This work can expand the applications of COFs through the regulation of their local electronic states for the manipulation of the metal center.
Die Regulierung von Deepfakes auf EU-Ebene: Überblick eines Flickenteppichs und Einordnung des Digital Services Act- und KI-Regulierungsvorschlags
Authors: Karaboga Murat 
Published: April 2023

ZusammenfassungDie aus der Verwendung von Deepfakes resultierenden Herausforderungen sind in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in den Fokus der öffentlichen und politischen Diskussion gerückt. Angesichts dessen wurden weltweit und insbesondere in der EU verschiedene Regulierungsbemühungen eingeleitet. Der vorliegende Beitrag skizziert die mit Deepfakes assoziierten Chancen und Herausforderungen und diskutiert die entsprechenden Regulierungsbemühungen mit Fokus auf die EU-Ebene. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass Deepfakes bereits heute in mehrfacher Hinsicht von EU-Recht erfasst werden und dass insbesondere der Digital Services Act (DSA)- und KI-Regulierungsvorschlag (AI Act) einen einschlägigen Regulierungsansatz bilden. Um die Verbreitung von Deepfakes zu regulieren, bleibt allerdings sowohl im Rahmen beider Vorschläge als auch darüber hinaus viel zu tun.
Quark and gluon two-loop beam functions for leading-jet pT and slicing at NNLO

Published: April 2023

Abstract
We compute the complete set of two-loop beam functions for the transverse momentum distribution of the leading jet produced in association with an arbitrary colour-singlet system. Our results constitute the last missing ingredient for the calculation of the jet-vetoed cross section at small veto scales at the next-to-next-to-leading order, as well as an important ingredient for its resummation to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. Our calculation is performed in the soft-collinear effective theory framework with a suitable regularisation of the rapidity divergences occurring in the phase-space integrals. We discuss the occurrence of soft-collinear mixing terms that might violate the factorisation theorem, and demonstrate that they are naturally absorbed into the beam functions at two loops in the exponential rapidity regularisation scheme when performing a multipole expansion of the measurement function. As in our recent computation of the two-loop soft function, we present the results as a Laurent expansion in the jet radius R. We provide analytic expressions for all flavour channels in x space with the exception of a set of R-independent non-logarithmic terms that are given as numerical grids. We also perform a fully numerical calculation with exact R dependence, and find that it agrees with our analytic expansion at the permyriad level or better. Our calculation allows us to define a next-to-next-to-leading order slicing method using the leading-jet pT as a slicing variable. As a check of our results, we carry out a calculation of the Higgs and Z boson total production cross sections at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD.

Genetic characterization of a major spot form net blotch susceptibility locus to using linkage mapping to identify a candidate gene and user-friendly markers in barley.

Abstract
Spot form net blotch (SFNB), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. maculata (Ptm), is an economically important foliar diseases in barley. Although various resistance loci have been identified, breeding for SFNB-resistant varieties has been hampered due to the complex virulence profile of Ptm populations. One resistance locus in the host may be effective against one specific isolate, but it may confer susceptibility to other isolates. A major susceptibility QTL on chromosome 7H, named Sptm1, was consistently identified in many studies. In the present study, we conduct fine mapping to localize Sptm1 with high resolution. A segregating population was developed from selected F2 progenies of the cross Tradition (S) × PI 67381 (R), in which the disease phenotype was determined by the Sptm1 locus alone. Disease phenotypes of critical recombinants were confirmed in the following two consecutive generations. Genetic mapping anchored the Sptm1 gene to an ⁓400 kb region on chromosome 7H. Gene prediction and annotation identified six protein-coding genes in the delimited Sptm1 region, and the gene encoding a putative cold-responsive protein kinase was selected as a strong candidate. Therefore, providing fine localization and candidate of Sptm1 for functional validation, our study will facilitate the understanding of susceptibility mechanism underlying the barley-Ptm interaction and offers a potential target for gene editing to develop valuable materials with broad-spectrum resistance to SFNB.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund und Fragestellung
Mit der Psychotherapiestrukturreform von 2017 sollte u.a. der Zugang zu ambulanter Psychotherapie erleichtert werden. Ein Aspekt der Evaluation der Reform ist, die Perspektive der Therapiesuchenden abzubilden. Der Fokus der vorliegenden Studie liegt dabei auf der Frage, welche Präferenzen Therapiesuchende äußern und inwiefern sie diese in den Suchprozess einbringen können.

Methoden
Mit Hilfe von qualitativen, leitfadengestützten Interviews wurden Therapiesuchende zu Beginn ihrer Suche (erster Erhebungszeitpunkt = t1) zu ihren Präferenzen und drei Monate später (zweiter Erhebungszeitpunkt = t2) nach ihren Erfahrungen befragt. Im Rahmen einer strukturierten Inhaltsanalyse wurden die Transkripte zunächst kategorisiert, bevor Generalisierungen, welche die Kernaussagen der Interviews abbilden, abgeleitet wurden.

Ergebnisse
Es wurden 83 Interviews mit 46 Therapiesuchenden geführt. Mehr als die Hälfte gaben an, dass sie anfängliche Präferenzen im Verlauf der Suche nicht länger priorisierten, um so die Chance auf einen Therapieplatz zu erhöhen. Vor der Suche lag der Fokus darauf, dass „die Chemie“ zu dem Therapeuten/der Therapeutin stimmt; nach bzw. während der Suche war z. B. die Vereinbarkeit mit dem Alltag entscheidender.

Diskussion
Die Studie zeigt, dass es weiter nötig ist, den Zugang zu Psychotherapie zu vereinfachen und die grundlegende Versorgungssituation zu verbessern. Um gute Voraussetzungen für den Therapieprozess und die Behandlungsergebnisse zu schaffen, wäre es erforderlich, den Therapiesuchenden die Berücksichtigung ihrer Präferenzen zu ermöglichen.

AbstractIn this study, the bacterial diversity of acquired middle ear cholesteatoma (MEC) was evaluated to reveal its pathogenesis and provides a guide for the use of antibiotics. Twenty-nine cases of acquired MEC and eight cases of healthy middle ears undergoing cochlear implantation (CI) were evaluated. Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to profile the bacterial communities in lesions and healthy tissues of the middle ear. ACE (P = 0.043) and Chao1 (P = 0.039) indices showed significant differences in alpha diversity (P < 0.05). Analysis of PERMANOVA/Anosim using the Bray–Curtis distance matrix results suggested that the between-group differences were greater than the within-group differences (R = 0.238, P < 0.05, R2 = 0.066, P < 0.05). Bacterial community analysis revealed that Alphaproteobacteria at the class level and Caulobacterales and Sphingomonadales at the order level were significantly different (P < 0.05). In the LefSe (Linear discriminant analysis effect size) analysis, Porphyromonas bennonis was elevated, and Bryum argenteum and unclassified Cyanobacteriales were reduced at the species level in MEC (P < 0.05). Fifteen metabolic pathways were found to be significantly different between the two groups by analysing the abundance of metabolic pathways in level 2 of the Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Seven and eight metabolic pathways were significantly elevated in the MEC and control groups, respectively (P < 0.05). The role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of acquired MEC was further refined through analysis of metabolic pathways. These findings indicate that the acquired MEC and healthy middle ear contain more diverse microbial communities than previously thought.
