AbstractTailoring the structure and properties of materials using the high‐entropy (HE) effect is of significant interest in the fields of environmental and thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In this work, a new class of dense HE rare‐earth niobates was successfully prepared by a solid‐phase reaction method, including (Sm1/5Dy1/5Ho1/5Er1/5Yb1/5)NbO4 (5HERN), (Sm1/6Dy1/6Ho1/6Er1/6Yb1/6Lu1/6)NbO4 (6HERN), (Sm1/7Dy1/7Ho1/7Er1/7Yb1/7Lu1/7Gd1/7)NbO4 (7HERN), and (Sm1/8Dy1/8Ho1/8Er1/8Yb1/8Lu1/8Gd1/8Tm1/8)NbO4 (8HERN), along with eight single rare‐earth niobates (RENbO4, RE = Sm, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, Gd, and Tm). X‐ray diffraction analysis showed that 5–8HERN are single‐phase solid solutions with a monoclinic structure (space group C12/c1). The thermal expansion coefficients of 7HERN and 8HERN exceed 11 × 10−6 K−1 at 1200°C and are much higher than those of the RENbO4 compositions (10.13–10.74 × 10−6 K−1) and other some HE rare‐earth oxides (10.27–10.87 × 10−6 K−1). Importantly, 5–8HERN have lower oxygen‐ion conductivity and higher activation energy than yttrium‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and the RENbO4 compositions. The oxygen‐ion conductivity of 5HERN (7.52 × 10−7 S cm−1, 900°C) was 105 times lower than that of YSZ (0.01 S cm−1, 750°C). The hardness of 5–8HERN is ∼7.81–8.46 GPa and these compositions have low intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity at high temperature (1.28–1.69 W m−1 K−1 at 900°C). The mechanism by which the HE effect improved the material properties was elucidated. Young's modulus, hardness, thermal expansion coefficient, and intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity are linearly related to the mass, size, and distortion degree of samples. In contrast, the oxygen‐ion conductivity depends on both the degrees of disorder and distortion and the oxygen‐ion vacancy concentration. Based on their overall performance, especially their high thermal expansion coefficients and excellent oxygen‐barrier performance, HE rare‐earth niobates show potential for further development as TBC materials.

AbstractBackgroundThe number of adults living with two or more chronic conditions is increasing worldwide. Adults living with multimorbidity have complex physical, psychosocial and self‐management care needs.AimThis study aimed to describe Australian nurses' experience of care provision for adults living with multimorbidity, their perceived education needs and future opportunities for nurses in the management of multimorbidity.DesignQualitative exploratory.MethodsNurses providing care to adults living with multimorbidity in any setting were invited to take part in a semi‐structured interview in August 2020. Twenty‐four registered nurses took part in a semi‐structured telephone interview.ResultsThree main themes were developed: (1) The care of adults living with multimorbidity requires skilled collaborative and holistic care; (2) nurses' practice in multimorbidity care is evolving; and (3) nurses value education and training in multimorbidity care.ConclusionNurses recognize the challenge and the need for change in the system to support them to respond to the increasing demands they face.ImpactThe complexity and prevalence of multimorbidity creates challenges for a healthcare system configured to treat individual disease. Nurses are key in providing care for this population, but little is known about nurses' experiences and perceptions of their role. Nurses believe a person‐centred approach is important to address the complex needs of adults living with multimorbidity. Nurses described their role as evolving in response to the growing demand for quality care and believed inter‐professional approaches achieve the best outcomes for adults living with multimorbidity. The research has relevance for all healthcare providers seeking to provide effective care for adults living with multimorbidity. Understanding how best to equip and support the workforce to meet the issues and demands of managing the care of adults living with multimorbidity has the potential to improve patient outcomes.Patient or Public ContributionThere was no patient or public contribution. The study only concerned the providers of the service.

ABSTRACTPancreatic islet transplantation is a β‐cell replacement therapy for people with insulin‐deficient diabetes who have difficulty in glycemic control and suffer from frequent severe hypoglycemia. However, the number of islet transplantations carried out is still limited in Asia. We report a case of allogeneic islet transplantation in a 45‐year‐old Japanese man with type 1 diabetes. Although the islet transplantation was successfully carried out, graft loss was observed on the 18th day. Immunosuppressants were used in accordance with the protocol, and donor‐specific anti‐human leukocyte antigen antibodies were not detected. Autoimmunity relapse was also not observed. However, the patient had a high titer of anti‐glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody from before the islet transplantation, and autoimmunity might thus have affected the β‐cells in the transplanted islet. The evidence is still scarce to reach conclusions, and further data accumulation is required to enable proper patient selection before islet transplantation.

AbstractChronic subclinical infection with the aetiological agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), Renibacterium salmoninarum, presents challenges for the clinical management of disease in farmed salmonids and for prevalence estimation. Harvested salmon sampled at processing plants provide the opportunity to describe subclinical outcomes of BKD using gross necropsy observations and diagnostic test results in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations that are apparently healthy (i.e. alive at harvest) but naturally exposed to R. salmoninarum infection. Sampling of farmed salmon (Population A, n = 124 and Population B, n = 160) was performed immediately post‐slaughter as fish were being processed at a plant in New Brunswick, Canada. Populations were selected based on planned harvests from sites with histories of recent exposure events related to clinical BKD as evidenced by the site veterinarian's diagnosis of mortality attributable to BKD: One site (Pop A) had recently increasing mortalities attributed to BKD, and the other site (Pop B) had ongoing low‐level mortalities with BKD pathology. As expected with the different exposure histories, Pop A had a higher percentage (57.2%) of R. salmoninarum culture‐positive kidney samples compared with similar fish samples in Pop B (17.5%). Diagnosis of R. salmoninarum by gross granulomatous lesions in internal visceral organs, bacterial culture and identification by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) using different swab transport methods, and molecular detection methods (quantitative PCR, qPCR) were compared. Agreement of culture‐positive percentages at the sample level was moderate (kappa: 0.61–0.75) among specimens collected using different kidney sampling methods in Pop A and Pop B. The highest proportion of R. salmoninarum‐positive cultures occurred when kidney tissues were transported to the laboratory and inoculated directly onto agar using a swab (94% of cultures from Pop A and 82% from Pop B when fish were positive by any culture method). Fish with cumulative lesion scores (severity of granulomatous lesions in 3 different visceral organs) of >4 were all culture positive, and when compared with non‐lesioned fish, had substantially higher odds of being culture positive: Pop A: odds ratio (OR) = 73, 95% confidence interval (CI) (7.91, 680.8); Pop B: OR = 66, 95% CI (6.12, 720.7). Our study found that onsite postmortem examinations with severity scores of gross granulomatous lesions were predictive of positive culture results for R. salmoninarum, and they were a useful proxy for assessing prevalence in apparently healthy populations with subclinical infection.

IntroductionThis study aimed to (1) examine the relationships among postpartum depression, maternal self‐efficacy, and maternal role competence, and to (2) test whether maternal self‐efficacy mediates the relationship between postpartum depression and maternal role competence.MethodsUsing a cross‐sectional design, we conveniently sampled 343 postpartum mothers from 3 primary health care facilities in Eswatini. Data were collected using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Maternal Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire, and Perceived Competence Scale. Multiple linear regression models and structural equation modeling were performed in IBM SPSS and SPSS Amos to examine the studied associations and to test the mediation effect.ResultsThe participants were aged 18 to 44 (mean, 26.4; SD, 5.86) years, and the majority were unemployed (67.1%), had an unintended pregnancy (61.2%), received education during antenatal classes (82.5%), and fulfilled the cultural norm of the maiden home visit (58%). Adjusting for covariates, postpartum depression was negatively associated with maternal self‐efficacy (β = −.24, P < .001) and maternal role competence (β = −.18, P = .001), whereas maternal self‐efficacy was positively associated with maternal role competence (β = .41, P < .001). In the path analysis, postpartum depression only related to maternal role competence indirectly through maternal self‐efficacy (β = −.10, P = .003).DiscussionHigh maternal self‐efficacy was associated with high maternal role competence and fewer postpartum depression symptoms, suggesting that improving maternal self‐efficacy may help reduce postpartum depression and may improve maternal role competence.

AbstractAimNeuropathy is a frequent complication of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM), the most common being a demyelinating polyneuropathy with anti‐myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibodies, but also cryoglobulins, vasculitis, neurolymphomatosis, and amyloidosis. We describe a patient with IgM/kappa WM who presented with a severe, not length‐dependent, peripheral neuropathy as clinical onset of IgM/kappa‐related amyloidosis.MethodsA 69‐year‐old woman came to our attention for weight loss, gait imbalance and sensory loss at upper limbs. In her medical history, she was in hematological follow‐up for WM, and had undergone left carpal tunnel release. At neurological evaluation she had weakness and loss of sensation at upper limbs up to the elbows, more at the left side, gait was unsteady with right foot drop. Hypotrophy and areflexia were present at four limbs. Sensory loss and vibration sense were dramatically reduced. She underwent extensive diagnostic workup.ResultsLaboratory workup revealed an IgM/kappa monoclonal paraprotein of 16 g/L and increased NT‐proBNP; anti‐MAG antibodies were absent. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrated a population of neoplastic B‐lymphocytes. Total‐body CT scan and echocardiogram were negative. Neurophysiology revealed a symmetric, no length dependent sensory‐motor polyneuropathy Periumbilical fat biopsy was positive for amyloid. Sural nerve biopsy detected amyloid in the wall of an epineurial vein.ConclusionsThis case report describes a rare and unusual manifestation of IgM‐related AL amyloidosis in WM. The patient presented with a subacute clinically asymmetric neuropathy with no pain or dysautonomic features as clinical onset of IgM/kappa‐related amyloidosis. Sural nerve biopsy was crucial for the diagnosis.
Fairness and inequality acceptance in children and adolescents: A survey on behaviors in economic experiments
Authors: Schunk Daniel , Zipperle Isabell 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis survey article provides an overview of the recent experimental economic literature on fairness‐related behaviors in children and adolescents. We discuss different motives underlying fair behavior, summarize the development of fairness and inequality acceptance across different developmental stages, and we shed light on behavioral heterogeneity with respect to gender, SES, and cultural background. Moreover, we also discuss the role of preferences and social norms as determinants of fair behavior in children and adolescents. To learn about the origins of fair behavior, we address the influence of social environments, such as the family and we discuss the potential contribution of the genetic disposition.

AbstractBackground and PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) compared to the established method transorbital sonography (TOS) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).MethodsTwenty‐three patients with IIH were prospectively included applying IIH diagnostic criteria. All patients received a lumbar puncture with assessment of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure to assure the IIH diagnosis. Measurement of ONSD was performed 3 mm posterior to inner sclera surface in B‐TOS by an expert examiner, while three independent neuroradiologists took measurements in axial T‐weighted MRI examinations. The sella turcica with the pituitary gland (and potential presence of an empty sella) and the trigeminal cavity were also assessed on sagittal and transversal T1‐weighted MRI images by one independent neuroradiologist.ResultsThe means of ONSD between ultrasound and MRI measurements were 6.3 mm (standard deviation [SD] = 0.6 mm) and 6.2 mm (SD = 0.8 mm). The interrater reliability between three neuroradiologists showed a high interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (confidence interval: .573 < ICC < .8; p < .001). In patients with an empty sella, the ONSD evaluated by MRI was 6.6 mm, while measuring 6.1 mm in patients without empty sella. No correlation between CSF opening pressure and ONSD was found.ConclusionsMRI can reliably measure ONSD and yields similar results compared to TOS in patients with IIH. Moreover, patients with empty sella showed significantly larger ONSD than patients without empty sella.
Religious Ethics and the Spirit of Undomesticated Dissent
Authors: Day Keri 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTThe field of religious ethics contributes to practices of resistance and hope in broader society. In advancing my claim that religious ethics contributes to practices of resistance and hope today, I first tell a story about the changing demographics in the field of religious ethics and why this demographic shift is important. I next focus on womanist religious scholarship as an exemplary discourse in religious ethics and how it has contributed to practices of resistance and hope in the academy and within contemporary society. While a few scholars in JRE over the last 50 years have cited and engaged womanist ethicists like Katie Cannon and Emilie Townes, I want to offer a more explicit argument on how the womanist idea has contributed to practices of resistance and hope. I maintain that womanist religious scholarship embodies the practice of undomesticated dissent and that such dissent might be understood as a contribution to larger humanistic inquiry within the academy. Finally, I briefly consider an objection to my argument through engaging Stanley Fish's claim that the purposes and ends of institutions of higher education should not be oriented toward activism.

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of COVID‐19 on fish consumption and nutrition intake based on a random survey of 247 fish consumers in Bangladesh. The Propensity Score Matching technique is used to compare fish consumption and fish‐sourced nutrition intake between two groups of consumers before and during COVID‐19. The result shows that 38% overall reduction in fish consumption for the low‐income group compared to lower‐middle, upper‐middle‐ and high‐income groups. Furthermore, per capita consumption of culture and capture fish species decreased significantly for low‐income, lower‐middle‐income, and upper‐middle‐income groups of consumers. It indicates that nutrition and mineral intake have reduced sharply as well Higher energy and K reduction are observed for Pangasius hypophthalmus among different culture fish species while energy and Ca reduction were higher for Wallago attu and Mystus vittatus respectively. Therefore, the government might place a greater emphasis on excluding the food supply chain from lockdown restrictions during a COVID‐19‐like pandemic.
Hazard ontology and 4D benchmark model for facilitation of automated construction safety requirement analysis
Authors: Johansen Karsten W. , Schultz Carl , Teizer Jochen 
Published: March 2023

AbstractOver the last two decades, numerous approaches have been developed for automating construction safety assessment, that is, prevention through design and planning (PtD/P), that overcome the limitations of a purely manual safety assessment process. Despite this, such automated approaches are yet to be widely adopted in practice. Barriers include a lack of standardization of construction safety concepts within regulatory frameworks and a lack of confidence in automated approaches on the part of practitioners. This work presents a freely available 4D BIM‐based benchmark model (3D Building Information Model and 68 schedules) and construction safety ontology covering the two most frequent and severe construction site accidents: falls from height and struck‐by falling object hazards. The benchmark model and ontology enable the construction safety community to test and compare the performance of alternative automated approaches. Moreover, they are utilized in our PtD/P tool SafeConAI, and empirical evaluation results show how the safety situation changes among different construction schedules of the same project.
Pharmacotherapeutic challenges for treating the baby boomer cohort
Authors: Pelok Scott D. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAs the baby boomer cohort ages, they have an ever‐increasing number of comorbidities and associated poly‐pharmaceutical treatment needs. The challenge for healthcare providers is to stay current of advancements in providing for this aging population. Baby boomers can expect a longer life expectancy than any previous generation. Yet, longevity has not correlated with better health. This cohort is noted for being goal driven and more self‐assured than younger generations. They are resourceful and will often attempt to fix things themselves, including their healthcare. They believe hard work deserves justifiable rewards and relaxation. These beliefs have resulted in baby boomers utilizing more alcohol and illicit drugs. Altogether this means today's healthcare providers must be aware of potential interactions from the polypharmacy of prescribed medication, and they must include and understand additional complications associated with supplemental medications and illegal drugs.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesLifeblood completes full blood count samples for selected donors to assess their suitability for future donations. Removing the current practice for refrigerated (2–8°C) storage and aligning with room temperature (20–24°C) storage of other donor blood samples would produce significant efficiencies in blood donor centres. This study aimed to compare full blood count results under two temperature conditions.Materials and MethodsPaired full blood count samples were collected from 250 whole blood or plasma donors. These were stored either refrigerated or room temperature for testing on arrival at the processing centre and the following day. The primary outcomes of interest included differences between mean cell volume, haematocrit, platelet count, white cell and differential counts, and the need to produce blood films, based on existing Lifeblood criteria.ResultsA statistically significant (p < 0.05) difference for most full blood count parameters results was found between the two temperature conditions. The number of blood films required was similar under each temperature condition.ConclusionThe clinical significance of the small numerical differences in results is considered minimal. Furthermore, the number of blood films required remained similar under either temperature condition. Given the significant reductions in time, processing and costs associated with room temperature over refrigerated processing, we recommend a further pilot study to monitor the broader impacts, with the intent to implement national storage of full blood count samples at room temperature within Lifeblood.
A Machine Learning Approach to Model Oxidation of Toluene in a Bubble Column Reactor
Authors: Tayeb Raihan , Zhang Yuwen 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
A machine-learned (ML) subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling technique is introduced for efficient and accurate prediction of reactants and products undergoing parallel competitive reactions as seen in a bubble column. The model relies on data generated from a simple substitute problem with a small number of features. The machine-learned model corrects the errors in concentration and concentration gradients at cell faces arising from using linear interpolation and showed good accuracy for a mesh that barely covers the concentration boundary layer with minimal computational overhead. The present model, thus, offers a significant performance bonus when applied to near spherical, ellipsoid, and dimple-ellipsoidal bubbles.
