AbstractVan der Waals heterojunction (vdWs) of 2D materials with integrated or extended superior characteristics, opening up new opportunities in functional electronic and optoelectric device applications. Exploring methods to achieve multifunctional vdWs heterojunction devices is one of the most promising prospects in this area. Herein, a diverse function of forward rectifying diode, Zener tunneling diode, and backward rectifying diodes are realized in GeAs/ReS2 heterojunction by modulating the doping level of GeAs. The tunneling diode presents an interesting trend forward negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior which may facilitate the application of multi‐value logic. More importantly, the GeAs/ReS2 forward rectifying diode exhibits highly sensitive photodetection in the wide‐spectrum range up to 1550 nm corresponding to a short‐wave infrared (SWIR) region. In addition, as two strong anisotropic 2D materials of GeAs and ReS2, the heterojunction exhibits strong polarization‐sensitive photodetection behavior with a dichroic photocurrent ratio of 1.7. This work provides an effective strategy to achieve multifunctional 2D vdW heterojunction devices and develops more possibilities to broaden their functionalities and applications.

AbstractTo advance the MXene field, it is crucial to optimize each step of the synthesis process and create a detailed, systematic guide for synthesizing high‐quality MXene that can be consistently reproduced. In this study, a detailed guide is provided for an optimized synthesis of titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene using a mixture of hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids for the selective etching of the stoichimetric‐Ti3AlC2 MAX phase and delamination of the etched multilayered Ti3C2Tx MXene using lithium chloride at 65 °C for 1 h with argon bubbling. The effect of different synthesis variables is investigated, including the stoichiometry of the mixed powders to synthesize Ti3AlC2, pre‐etch impurity removal conditions, selective etching, storage, and drying of MXene multilayer powder, and the subsequent delamination conditions. The synthesis yield and the MXene film electrical conductivity are used as the two parameters to evaluate the MXene quality. Also the MXenes are characterized with scanning electron microscopy, x‐ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and ellipsometry. The Ti3C2Tx film made via the optimized method shows electrical conductivity as high as ≈21,000 S/cm with a synthesis yield of up to 38 %. A detailed protocol is also provided for the Ti3C2Tx MXene synthesis as the supporting information for this study.

ZusammenfassungNach einer liberalen Konzeption beschränkt sich die Arbeitsbeziehung auf den Tausch von Lohn gegen Arbeitsleistung. Wie Robert Castel im einleitenden Zitat am Typus des „patronalen“ Arbeitgebers aus dem 19. Jahrhundert darlegt, kann eine Unterstützung von Beschäftigten in Notsituationen jedoch durchaus im Interesse eines Arbeitgebers liegen. Der „patronale Arbeitgeber“ bot seinen Beschäftigten diverse Sozialleistungen, darunter „Dienste“, die der „Wiederherstellung ihrer Gesundheit“ sowie der „Unterstützung in Notsituationen“ dienten.
Betriebliche Arbeitsintegration psychisch Erkrankter
Authors: Gonon Anna 
Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungMit der Ausweitung des sozialpolitischen Paradigmas der „Aktvierung“ auf die Behindertenpolitik sind auch Menschen mit gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen vermehrt dazu aufgefordert, ihren Lebensunterhalt durch die Partizipation am Arbeitsmarkt unabhängig von finanziellen sozialstaatlichen Unterstützungsleistungen zu bestreiten. Zumindest hypothetisch wird damit den Unternehmen eine stärkere Verantwortung zugewiesen, die Arbeitsorganisation, Arbeitsplätze und -bedingungen so zu gestalten, dass Arbeitsstellen auch für Menschen mit psychisch bedingten Beeinträchtigungen der Gesundheit zugänglich sind. Verbindliche Auflagen für Unternehmen sind in dieser Hinsicht jedoch schwach bzw. in der Schweiz fast inexistent.
Die Soziologie der Konventionen

Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungIm Feld der Wiedereingliederung und Weiterbeschäftigung gesundheitlich eingeschränkter Arbeitskräfte gibt es bislang keine etablierten soziologischen Theorieperspektiven (vgl. auch Hanisch und Solvang 2019). Um den Forschungsgegenstand theoretisch zu schärfen, greife ich in der vorliegenden Studie auf die Soziologie der Konventionen zurück. Wie ich im Folgenden argumentiere, stellt diese Theorie für die Fragestellung der Studie aus mehreren Gründen eine gewinnbringende theoretische Perspektive dar.

ZusammenfassungAls theoretische Perspektive impliziert die Soziologie der Konventionen einen methodologischen Standpunkt (vgl. Abschn. 3.2), der Annahmen über die „ontologische Beschaffenheit der sozialen Welt“ beinhaltet (Diaz-Bone 2018, S. 368). Die theoretische Konstruktion des Forschungsgegenstands, d. h. die Annahmen bezüglich der Frage „was es gibt“, sind relevant für das empirische Vorgehen ihrer Erforschung, also wie sich das, was es gibt, beobachten lässt (vgl. ebenda). Die konventionentheoretische Perspektive steht für einen methodischen Holismus.
Krankheit und die Fairness von Personalmaßnahmen

ZusammenfassungKrankheiten von Beschäftigten können im Betrieb zunächst als verminderte Arbeitsleistung wahrgenommen oder mit Konflikten in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Gerade Vorgesetzte nehmen die Symptome psychischer Krankheiten am Anfang oft als Verhaltens- oder Leistungsprobleme wahr (Baer et al. 2011). Dies kann dazu führen, dass sie zunächst auf die disziplinierenden Instrumente des Personalmanagements zurückgreifen, wie eine schriftliche Ermahnung oder ein formelles Verfahren zur Leistungsverbesserung.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis paper is a study of mechanical properties and microstructure of rotary friction welded tungsten heavy alloy with aluminum alloy (AA). A plastic deformation is visible on AA side. Effects of friction time (FT) and friction pressure (FP) on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were studied by plotting graphs. The UTS of joints increases with increasing FP and FT and then decreases after reaching the maximum value. The fracture proceeds through the cleavage planes at the interface. Scanning electron microscopy for investigation of the fracture morphology and phase transformations taking place during friction welding process was used. Chemical compositions of the interfaces of the welded joints were determined by using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). EDS analyses across the interface of tungsten and nickel have not confirmed the diffusion to AA side. Microstructure of friction welds consisted of equiaxed grains formed due to dynamic recrystallization and coarse grains in the periphery region on AA side.

AbstractMitochondrial dysfunction is pivotal in drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Transport proteins embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane form a significant class of potential drug off-targets. So far, most transporter-drug interactions have been reported for the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC). Since it remains unknown to what extent AAC contributes to drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in AKI, we here aimed to better understand the functional role of AAC in the energy metabolism of human renal proximal tubular cells. To this end, CRISPR/Cas9 technology was applied to generate AAC3−/− human conditionally immortalized renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. This AAC3−/− cell model was characterized with respect to mitochondrial function and morphology. To explore whether this model could provide first insights into (mitochondrial) adverse drug effects with suspicion towards AAC-mediated mechanisms, wild-type and knockout cells were exposed to established AAC inhibitors, after which cellular metabolic activity and mitochondrial respiratory capacity were measured. Two AAC3−/− clones showed a significant reduction in ADP import and ATP export rates and mitochondrial mass, without influencing overall morphology. AAC3−/− clones exhibited reduced ATP production, oxygen consumption rates and metabolic spare capacity was particularly affected, mainly in conditions with galactose as carbon source. Chemical AAC inhibition was stronger compared to genetic inhibition in AAC3−/−, suggesting functional compensation by remaining AAC isoforms in our knockout model. In conclusion, our results indicate that ciPTEC-OAT1 cells have a predominantly oxidative phenotype that was not additionally activated by switching energy source. Genetic inhibition of AAC3 particularly impacted mitochondrial spare capacity, without affecting mitochondrial morphology, suggesting an important role for AAC in maintaining the metabolic spare respiration.
Morphological assessment of cartilage and osteoarthritis in clinical practice and research: Intermediate-weighted fat-suppressed sequences and beyond

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely regarded as the primary modality for the morphological assessment of cartilage and all other joint tissues involved in osteoarthritis. 2D fast spin echo fat-suppressed intermediate-weighted (FSE FS IW) sequences with a TE between 30 and 40ms have stood the test of time and are considered the cornerstone of MRI protocols for clinical practice and trials. These sequences offer a good balance between sensitivity and specificity and provide appropriate contrast and signal within the cartilage as well as between cartilage, articular fluid, and subchondral bone. Additionally, FS IW sequences enable the evaluation of menisci, ligaments, synovitis/effusion, and bone marrow edema-like signal changes. This review article provides a rationale for the use of FSE FS IW sequences in the morphological assessment of cartilage and osteoarthritis, along with a brief overview of other clinically available sequences for this indication. Additionally, the article highlights ongoing research efforts aimed at improving FSE FS IW sequences through 3D acquisitions with enhanced resolution, shortened examination times, and exploring the potential benefits of different magnetic field strengths. While most of the literature on cartilage imaging focuses on the knee, the concepts presented here are applicable to all joints.

Key points
1. MRI is currently considered the modality of reference for a “whole-joint” morphological assessment of osteoarthritis.
2. Fat-suppressed intermediate-weighted sequences remain the keystone of MRI protocols for the assessment of cartilage morphology, as well as other structures involved in osteoarthritis.
3. Trends for further development in the field of cartilage and joint imaging include 3D FSE imaging, faster acquisition including AI-based acceleration, and synthetic imaging providing multi-contrast sequences.
In-line kitting for part feeding of assembly lines: workload balancing and storage assignment to reduce the workers’ walking effort
Authors: Fedtke Stefan , Boysen Nils , Schumacher Patrick 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAn efficient part feeding is among the top challenges of many mass producers applying mixed-model assembly lines, for instance, in the automotive industry. This paper introduces a novel part feeding policy applied by a large German assembly plant for car engines: In-line kitting. Under this policy, the first stations of the line do not execute assembly operations, but are reserved for picking parts while passing containers of stock-keeping units (SKUs) arranged along the line. In this way, the parts are collected in traveling kits moving along with each workpiece on the conveyor, so that later assembly stations have the required parts directly available and do not lose precious labor time for unproductive parts handling. A major operational challenge when applying this part feeding policy is the walking effort for the human pickers while putting the SKUs of their respective stations into the traveling kits of the passing workpieces. Due to a high product variety, a large number of comparatively bulky SKU containers have to fit into each station, so that the walking distance to be covered by a worker during a work shift exceeds multiple kilometers. We show that this physical burden can be reduced significantly by balancing the workload among stations and optimizing the storage assignment of SKU containers within each in-line kitting station. We formulate the resulting optimization problem and provide suited solution procedures. Our computational study shows that the walking distance of pickers can be reduced significantly without producing any additional costs.

Abstract
Background
The SYNTAX trial demonstrated negative impact of repeat revascularization (RR) on 5-year outcomes following PCI/CABG in patients with three-vessel(3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease(LMCAD). We aimed to investigate the impact of RR within 5 years, on 10-year mortality in patients with 3VD and/or LMCAD after PCI/CABG.

Methods
The SYNTAXES study evaluated the vital status out to 10 years of patients with 3VD and/or LMCAD. Patients were stratified by RR within 5 years and randomized treatment. The association between RR within 5 years and 10-year mortality was assessed.

Results
A total of 330 out of 1800 patients (18.3%) underwent RR within 5 years. RR occurred more frequently after initial PCI than after initial CABG (25.9% vs. 13.7%, p < 0.001). Overall, 10-year mortality was comparable between patients undergoing RR and those not (28.2% vs. 26.1%, adjusted HR: 1.17, 95%CI 0.93–1.48, p = 0.187). In the PCI arm, RR was associated with a trend toward higher 10-year mortality (adjusted HR: 1.29, 95%CI 0.97–1.72, p = 0.075), while in the CABG arm, the trend was opposite (adjusted HR: 0.74, 95%CI 0.46–1.20, p = 0.219). Among patients requiring RR, those who underwent PCI as initial revascularization had a higher risk of 10-year mortality compared to initial CABG (33.5% vs. 17.6%, adjusted HR: 2.09, 95%CI 1.21–3.61, p = 0.008).

Conclusion
In the SYNTAXES study, RR within 5 years had no impact on 10-year all-cause death in the population overall. Among patients requiring any repeat procedures, 10-year mortality was higher after initial treatment with PCI than after CABG. These exploratory findings should be investigated with larger populations in future studies.

Cough Sensitivity to Several External Triggers is Associated with Multiple Non-respiratory Symptoms
Authors: Koskela Heikki O. , Kaulamo Johanna T. , Lätti Anne M. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractPurposeEnhanced responsiveness to external triggers is thought to reflect hypersensitivity of the cough reflex. It may involve an enhanced sensitivity of the afferent nerves in the airways and/or an abnormal processing of the afferent information by the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS processing of cough has been shown to involve the same regions as those in symptom amplification, a phenomenon that often manifests as multiple symptoms. The main purpose of the present study was to define whether the presence of several cough triggers is associated with multiple symptoms.Methods2131 subjects with current cough responding to two email surveys filled in a comprehensive questionnaire about social background, lifestyle, general health, doctors’ diagnoses and visits, symptoms, and medication. Multiple symptoms was defined as three or more non-respiratory, non-mental symptoms.ResultsA carefully controlled multiple regression analysis revealed that the number of cough triggers was the only cough characteristic associating with multiple non-respiratory, non-mental symptoms [aOR 1.15 (1.12–1.19) per one trigger,p < 0.001]. Among the 268 subjects with current cough both in the first survey and in the follow-up survey 12 months later, the repeatability of the trigger sum was good with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.80 (0.75–0.84).ConclusionThe association between the number of the cough triggers and multiple symptoms suggests that the CNS component of cough hypersensitivity may be a manifestation of non-specific alteration in the CNS interpretation of various body sensations. The number of cough triggers is a repeatable measure of cough sensitivity.

Abstract
Background
Given the possibility of occult endometrial cancer where nodal status confers important prognostic and therapeutic data, role of lymph node evaluation at hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia is currently under active investigation. The objective of the current study was to examine the characteristics related to lymph node evaluation at the time of minimally invasive hysterectomy when performed for endometrial hyperplasia in an ambulatory surgery setting.

Methods
The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample was retrospectively queried to examine 49,698 patients with endometrial hyperplasia who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy from 1/2016 to 12/2019. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was fitted to assess the characteristics related to lymph node evaluation at hysterectomy and a classification tree model with recursive partitioning analysis was constructed to examine the utilization pattern of lymph node evaluation.

Results
Lymph node evaluation was performed in 2847 (5.7%) patients. In a multivariable analysis, (i) patient factors with older age, obesity, high census-level household income, and large fringe metropolitan, (ii) surgical factors with total laparoscopic hysterectomy and recent year surgery, (iii) hospital parameters with large bed capacity, urban setting, and Western U.S. region, and (iv) histology factor with presence of atypia were independently associated with increased utilization of lymph node evaluation at hysterectomy (all, P < 0.05). Among those independent factors, presence of atypia exhibited the largest association for lymph node evaluation (adjusted odds ratio 3.75, 95% confidence interval 3.39–4.16). There were 20 unique patterns of lymph node evaluation based on histology, hysterectomy type, patient age, year of surgery, and hospital bed capacity, ranging from 0 to 20.3% (absolute rate difference, 20.3%).

Conclusion
Lymph node evaluation at the time of minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia in the ambulatory surgery setting appears to be evolving with large variability based on histology type, hysterectomy modality, patient factors, and hospital parameters, warranting a consideration of developing clinical practice guidelines.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this study, an improved bald eagle search optimization algorithm (IBES) is utilized to develop home energy management systems for smart homes. This research is crucial for energy field researchers who are interested in optimizing energy consumption. The primary objective is to optimally manage load demand, reduce the average peak ratio, lower electricity bills, and enhance user comfort. To accomplish this goal, the load conversion strategy is used to coordinate household appliances and manage the home power system effectively. This approach aims to minimize peak–average ratios and electricity costs while ensuring consumer convenience. To minimize electricity bills, the study schedules the consumer’s daily activities based on actual time and next day’s energy demand. Furthermore, a fitness criterion is used to balance the load between off-peak and on-peak hours. The scheduler is designed to achieve an optimal device on/off state that minimizes device waiting time by coordinating household appliances in real time. To address the background problem of real-time rescheduling, dynamic programming is employed. The study evaluates the modified algorithm’s performance using three pricing strategies: critical peak pricing, real-time pricing, and time of use. The modified IBES technique is utilized to achieve the specified objectives of minimizing the electricity bill, reducing the peak–average ratio, and enhancing user convenience.
