Published: September 2022

AbstractDeep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a kind of potential lixiviant for extraction processing. Unlike conventional ionic liquids (ILs), DESs are relatively cheap and environmentally friendly. Herein, three different ChCl‐based DESs, namely, choline chloride/urea, choline chloride/ethylene glycol, as well as choline chloride/propandioic acid, were synthesized and used to enhance bitumen recovery from oil sand by petroleum ether extraction. The results showed a multiphase system formed after mixing the components at ~25°C, consisting of sands and clays, a DES layer, and a petroleum ether layer containing the bitumen. These DESs were immiscible with bitumen or petroleum ether. Coupled with a density difference, a clear phase separation was presented between the bitumen–petroleum ether mixture and DES. The DES functioned as a separating agent, keeping the petroleum ether–bitumen mixture and spent sand apart from each other. The results showed that the bitumen recovery was increased by ~12% compared with that without the DESs. We deduced that the enhancement in the separation may result from the reduction of adhesion between bitumen and sand by the DESs. The ChCl‐based DESs and petroleum ether could be readily recycled to reduce industrial costs. After 10 cycles, the bitumen recovery remained above 86%.

BackgroundRapid on‐site evaluation (ROSE) is frequently used during diagnostic procedures in patients with or suspected to have lung cancer. There is variation in ROSE use among bronchoscopists, and discussion of ROSE results can have significant consequences for patients. This study was performed to define ROSE practice and result disclosure patterns among bronchoscopists.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was performed using an electronic survey disseminated to the members of the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology and the Society for Advanced Bronchoscopy. The questions centered around ROSE availability, utilization, barriers, and discussion of results with patients.ResultsThere were 137 respondents. Most identified themselves as interventional pulmonologists (109, 80%); most respondents worked in an academic setting (71, 52%). Availability of ROSE was reported by 121 (88%) respondents. Time constraints (28%), availability of cytology (22%), and scheduling conflicts (20%) were the most reported barriers to ROSE use. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (85%) and nonrobotic peripheral bronchoscopy (65%) were the most reported procedures that used ROSE. There was heterogeneity regarding discussion of ROSE results with the patient or their caregiver in the immediate postprocedure setting: yes ‐ always (40, 33%), yes ‐ sometimes (32, 26%), yes ‐ rarely (18, 15%), or no (31, 26%). Thirty‐eight respondents reported they believed ROSE was ≥90% concordant with final cytology results.ConclusionsThe results confirmed the heterogeneity of practice patterns. Estimates of ROSE‐final cytology concordance were lower than previously published concordance results. Notably, the discussion of ROSE results varied significantly.
Stakeholder engagement as a sustainable development strategy: Managerial entrenchment for cross‐shareholdings
Authors: Yoshida Kenichi , Kurita Kenichi , Managi Shunsuke 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe analyze the effect of managerial entrenchment on firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. We use the cross‐shareholding ratio and the stable shareholders ratio, which characterize the Japanese corporate system, as proxy variables for managerial entrenchment. We choose two CSR/environmental, social, and corporate governance scores: those for vendors targeting only Japan and those for vendors targeting the entire world. The results show that increases in the cross‐shareholding and stable shareholder ratios decrease CSR activities. These results are consistent with the view that CSR activities are considered a costly investment for managers rather than a type of agency cost. Finally, we reveal that after the enactment of Japan's Corporate Governance Code in 2015, the cross‐shareholding and the stable shareholder ratios have not significantly affected CSR activities and that foreign institutional investors have promoted CSR activities.
Multi‐input battery‐integrated single‐stage DC‐DC converter for reliable operation of solar photovoltaic‐based systems
Authors: Bodele Nikhil J. , Kulkarni P. S. 
Published: September 2022

SummarySolar photovoltaic (PV) systems are emerging progressively due to their wide compatibility range, ease of installation, and environmental friendliness. The module mismatch (MM) losses and module open circuit (MOC) fault can cause the power mismatch between different PV modules. This significantly affects the energy output from the PV module. Also, the intermittent nature of solar PV power makes the solar PV systems unreliable; to compensate for this, conventional PV systems utilize a battery storage system (BSS) with separate bidirectional converter. These bidirectional converters require two‐stage power conversion and massive battery bank connected at the DC link. This leads to the further reduction in overall efficiency. To address these issues, this paper proposed a multi‐input PV battery system (MIPBS) that uses nonisolated buck and boost converter combinations. It requires single‐stage power conversion to extract maximum power from each PV module along with BSS charging and discharging. Its modular design allows it to function across a wide range of voltage, power, and BSS choices. The proposed system is capable of mitigating the MM loss and sustaining the MOC fault. This paper discusses the operation, steady‐state analysis, and dynamic analysis of the proposed MIPBS. The performance of the proposed MIPBS is validated using a state‐of‐the‐art experimental setup with two PV modules, each having a rating of 60.53 W.

AbstractFe‐doped ZnO ceramic nanofibers (CNFs) as specific structural features and unique properties synthesized by using electrospun technology. X‐ray diffraction disclosed the wurtzite phase, and the microscopy analysis by SEM revealed the formation uniform nanofibers with 400 nm in diameter. The UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) was used to investigation the optical properties of the pristine and the various percentages Fe doped ZnO photocrystalysts. The photo‐reduction activities of photocatalyst were evaluated using methylene blue (MB) as organic contaminant irradiated with simulate solar light from xenon lamp. The photocatalytic results that 1% Fe‐doped ZnO CNFs exhibits efficient visible and UV light activity and excellent photo‐stability. The kinetic constant of MB degradation over 1% Fe‐doped ZnO is about 2.2 times higher than that over pure ZnO. The experiment demonstrated that the photodegradation efficiency of Fe‐doped ZnO was significantly higher than that of undoped ZnO.

Published: September 2022

AbstractHybrid analog/digital multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) system is proposed to support low complexity multi‐stream communication in millimeter‐wave (mmWave) frequencies. The main idea of channel estimation methods for mmWave hybrid MIMO systems is based on leveraging the sparsity nature of the channel in the angle and delay domain. Sparse signal recovery algorithms have been used to reconstruct the channel coefficients. Due to the lack of information about the angle of arrival and angle of departure before channel estimation, random values are common choices for precoders and combiners. Moreover, the training pilot symbols are considered to be random variables. In this article, we propose sequential time domain sensing matrix design and sequential frequency domain sensing matrix design algorithms to design these variables in order to enhance sparse signal recovery performance and consequently the channel estimation accuracy. Our methods are based on reducing the correlation between the sensing matrix columns, which is defined in the sparse formulation of the channel estimation problem. We design the training radio frequency precoders/combiners phase angle values and pilot symbol vectors with the aid of a sequential procedure that has a reasonable complexity. Simulation results show that utilizing the designed values instead of random variables increased the performance of the channel estimation, especially when we deal with a higher number of variables.
Text‐based soybean futures price forecasting: A two‐stage deep learning approach
Authors: An Wuyue , Wang Lin , Zeng Yu‐Rong 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates the soybean futures price prediction problem from a new perspective and proposes an effective prediction model named Two‐Stage Hybrid Long Short‐Term Memory (TSH‐LSTM) by using text data from social media. First, the unstructured text is transformed into structured data by sentiment analysis and text classification methods. The improved sentiment score is computed by combining the degree centrality of sentiment words based on the sentiment dictionary method, and the characteristics of price fluctuations in texts are learned through the text Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks. Second, the significant relationship between social media features and soybean futures price is assessed through stepwise regression, and the results of such an assessment are used as a basis for the identification of significant factors as input variables of the prediction model. Finally, the TSH‐LSTM prediction model is designed, and the final prediction result is acquired through the combination of prediction results of each stage using the error reciprocal method. The empirical results indicate that the incorporation of the social media text feature helps improve forecasting performances. Specifically, the proposed TSH‐LSTM is more accurate than univariate LSTM, multivariate LSTM, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting.
Adoption of hospital diagnosis‐related group financing in Switzerland and the availability of computed tomography scanners
Authors: Baker Laurence C. , Lamiraud Karine 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe study the relationship between diagnosis‐related group (DRG) financing and the availability of computed tomography (CT) scanners in Switzerland. A number of Swiss hospitals switched to DRG payment for a portion of their payments progressively between 2002 and 2011. As of 2012, all hospitals were required to use DRG payment for a substantial portion of reimbursement. We conducted two main analyses. First, we studied hospitals switching in 2002–2011 and estimated event study models to compare changes in CT availability before and after the adoption of DRG financing, using the hospitals that did not switch during this time as a comparison group. In the second, we compared trends in CT availability before and after 2012, for the hospitals that switched in that year. In both analyses, we find a statistically significant association between the switch to DRG financing and lower levels of CT availability.
High performance work systems and perceived organizational support: The contribution of human resource department's organizational embodiment
Authors: Kim Kyoung Yong , Clark Kevin D. , Messersmith Jake G. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIntegrating the literatures on strategic human resource management and organizational support theory, we examine the cross‐level relationship between high performance work systems (HPWS) at the team‐level and individual perceptions of organizational support (i.e., POS). In addition, we introduce a critical boundary condition, the HR department's organizational embodiment (HROE), which involves the extent to which employees identify the HR department with the organization. We propose that the cross‐level HPWS–POS relationship is moderated by HROE, such that the linkage between HPWS and POS is stronger when HROE is high. With a sample of 103 teams and 399 employees in South Korea, we find that HPWS utilization increases POS and that this relationship is stronger when HROE is high. We also find that HR department status and the favorable attitude of the HR head are antecedents to HROE. These findings suggest that HROE is a critical boundary condition for the relationship between HPWS and POS with subsequent effects on organizational commitment and job satisfaction.

AbstractThe peat‐forming wetland forests of Amazonia are characterized by high below‐carbon stocks and supply fruit, fibres and timber to local communities. Predicting the future of these ecosystem services requires understanding how hydrological conditions are related to tree species composition and the presence, or absence, of peat. Here, we use continuous measurements of water table depth over 2.5 years and manual measurements of pore‐water pH and electrical conductivity to understand the ecohydrological controls of these variables across the large peatland complex in northern Peruvian Amazonia. Measurements were taken in permanent forest plots in four palm swamps, four seasonally flooded forests and four peatland pole forests. All trees ≥10 cm diameter were also measured and identified in the plots to assess floristic composition. Peat occurs in eight of these twelve sites; three seasonally flooded forests and one palm swamp are not associated with peat. Variation in tree species composition among forest types was linked to high flood levels (maximum flooding height) and pH: seasonally flooded forests experience high flood levels (up to 3.66 m from the ground surface) and have high pH values (6–7), palm swamps have intermediate flood levels (up to 1.34 m) and peatland pole forests experience shallow flooding (up to 0.28 m) and have low pH (4). In contrast, the presence of peat was linked to variation in maximum water table depth (i.e. the depth to which the water table drops below the ground surface). Surface peat is found in all forest types where maximum water table depth does not fall >0.55 m below the ground surface at any time. Peat formation and variation in tree species composition therefore have different ecohydrological controls. Predicted increases in the frequency and strength of flooding events may alter patterns of tree species composition, whereas increases in drought severity and declines in minimum river levels may pose a greater risk to the belowground carbon stores of these peatland ecosystems.

AbstractIt is critical to discover novel biomarkers for tobacco smoking. Our study has indicated the green autofluorescence (AF) of Index Fingernails as a novel biomarker for rapid and noninvasive determinations on the status of tobacco smoking: The green AF intensity of the Index Fingernails of the smokers was remarkably higher than that of the nonsmokers in the natural populations. When the AF intensity of the Fingernails was used as the variable, the area under curve (AUC) for differentiating the smokers from the nonsmokers was 0.91. Similar results were obtained by analyzing the green AF of the Index Fingernails of the healthy populations and the patients of acute ischemic stroke. Collectively, our study has indicated the green AF of the Index Fingernails as a novel biomarker for tobacco smoking, based on which the first method for noninvasive, rapid and economical determinations on the status of tobacco smoking may be established.
Cell division cycle 42 reflects disease risk, symptoms, Th1/Th2 disproportion, and its short‐term variation indicates symptom amelioration after treatment in allergic rhinitis patients
Authors: Zhang Xiaote , Xie Lujie , Fang Xiaoyun 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundCell division cycle 42 (CDC42) modulates the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis (AR) through regulating immunity, allergic response, and T‐helper (Th)1/Th2 imbalance. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of CDC42 to reflect disease risk, symptom scores, and Th1/Th2 axis of AR and the correlation of its vertical change with symptom amelioration after treatment.MethodsCDC42, Th1 cells, and Th2 cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and interferon‐γ and interleukin‐4 in the serum were determined in 200 AR patients. Simultaneously, PBMC CDC42 was detected in 50 non‐atopic obstructive snoring patients [as disease controls (DCs)] and 50 healthy controls (HCs).ResultsCDC42 was increased in AR patients compared with DCs and HCs (both p < 0.001) but showed no difference between DCs and HCs (p = 0.054). In AR patients, CDC42 was positively linked to rhinorrhea, itching, sneezing, and total nasal symptom scores (TNSS) (all p < 0.05), but not congestion score (p = 0.052). Meanwhile, CDC42 showed positive correlations with Th2 cells (p < 0.001) and interleukin‐4 (p = 0.005), a negative correlation with Th1/Th2 axis (p = 0.001), but no correlation with Th1 cells (p = 0.095) or interferon‐γ (p = 0.174). Notably, CDC42 at week 4 after treatment (W4) was reduced compared with that at enrollment (W0) (p < 0.001) and positively correlated with TNSS at W4 (p < 0.001); from W0 to W4, CDC42 change also positively correlated with TNSS change (p = 0.004).ConclusionCDC42 is elevated and positively correlates with symptom scores and Th2 cells, whose short‐term reduction reflects symptom alleviation in AR patients.

AbstractCarfilzomib is an active and commonly used treatment in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Using the Canadian Myeloma Research Group Database, we performed a retrospective observational study of patients treated with carfilzomib for relapse of MM in a real‐world setting in Canada between years 2007 and 2020. A total of 445 patients were included in this study: the doublet (Kd/p, n = 218) and triplets (KCd, n = 88; KRd, n = 99; KPd/p, n = 40). One hundred and twenty‐two (27%) received carfilzomib‐based treatment in line 2, 133 (30%) in line 3, 90 (20%) in line 4, and 100 (23%) in line 5 or higher. Carfilzomib was dosed weekly in 40% of patients and twice weekly in 60%. The overall response rate of the entire cohort was 57.7%, with 33.6% of patients achieving very good partial response or better. Median progression‐free survival for the overall cohort was 6.3 months with overall survival 19.7 months. This study provides a benchmark for carfilzomib‐based regimens in the real world, demonstrating that these regimens are effective in treating patients with relapsed MM.

AbstractBackground/PurposeCongenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a disease associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction. The most frequent postoperative complication is intrahepatic stones, which are caused by hilar bile duct stenosis (HBDS).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent primary surgery for CBD between 2013 and 2021. We evaluated images and videos of HBDS, the laparoscopic technique of releasing the stenosis, and its occurrence rate and compared intraoperative bile duct findings with those of preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).ResultsThere were 87 CBD cases in this study. HBDS occurred in 52% and preoperative MRCP for HBDS showed a 96% sensitivity and 74% specificity in this study. Bile duct plasty was performed in 45% of the cases and videos demonstrated typical methods of laparoscopic bile duct plasty. The mid‐ to long‐term complications were hepatolithiasis in three patients, anastomotic site stricture in three, and postoperative obstruction in two.ConclusionsOur study revealed that preoperative imaging studies are useful for the prediction of HBDS. Our laparoscopic meticulous probing method for finding BDS reveals more intrahepatic BDS through magnification. Therefore, this may reduce the incidence of intrahepatic stones. Preoperative imaging and intraoperative findings can be complemented to plan management that reduces long‐term complications.
