ABSTRACTBiological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio‐economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, and spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social and biological contexts. Hence, studying biological invasions (invasion science) and human migration (migration studies) presents complex parallels that are potentially fruitful to explore. Here, we examined nuanced parallels and differences between these two phenomena, integrating historical, socio‐political, and ethical perspectives. Our review underscores the need for context‐specific approaches in policymaking and governance to address effectively the challenges and opportunities of human migration and harm from biological invasions. We suggest that approaches to studying the drivers of biological invasions and human migration provide an excellent opportunity for transdisciplinary research; one that acknowledges the complexities and potential insights from both fields of study. Ultimately, integrating natural and social sciences offers a promising avenue for enriching the understanding of invasion biology and migration dynamics while pursuing just, equitable, and sustainable solutions. However, while human migration is a clear driver of biological invasions, drawing on principles from biological invasions to understand past and current human migration risks oversimplification and the potential for harmful generalisations that disregard the intrinsic rights and cultural dynamics of human migrations. By doing so, we provide insights and frameworks to support the development of context‐specific policies that respect human dignity, foster cultural diversity, and address migration challenges in ways that promote global cooperation and justice. This interdisciplinary approach highlights the potential for transdisciplinary research that acknowledges complexities in both fields, ultimately enriching our understanding of invasion biology and migration dynamics while pursuing equitable and sustainable solutions.

AbstractAimThe aim of this work is to develop and operationally define performance metrics that characterize a reference approach to circular stapling anastomosis during minimally invasive left‐sided colorectal resection and to obtain face and content validity through a consensus meeting.MethodThree expert colorectal surgeons with advanced experience with minimally invasive surgery, a senior behavioural scientist and a research fellow with experience in performance metrics development formed the Metrics Group. Technical support was provided by device engineers. Published guidelines, training materials, manufacturers' instructions for use and unedited videos of circular stapling anastomosis in minimally invasive left‐sided colorectal resection were used to deconstruct the task into defined, observable performance units or metrics (i.e. procedural phases, steps, errors and critical errors). The performance metrics were then subjected to detailed review by 16 expert colorectal surgeons in a modified Delphi process.ResultsPerformance metrics for circular stapling anastomosis during minimally invasive left‐sided colorectal resection had three procedural phases with 32 steps, 40 errors and 38 critical errors. After the modified Delphi process the agreed performance metrics consisted of three procedural phases, 36 steps, 42 errors and 39 critical errors. A group of expert colorectal surgeons from Europe verified the face and content of these metrics. After discussion, all procedural phases received unanimous consensus by the Delphi panel.ConclusionCircular stapling anastomosis during the minimally invasive approach to left‐sided colorectal resection can be broken down into procedural phases and steps, with errors and critical errors known as performance metrics. We consider the metrics essential for the development of structured training in using circular stapling anastomosis in the minimally invasive approach to left‐sided colorectal resection.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis systematic review examines the decontamination techniques used to clean titanium (Ti) implant surfaces covered with in vitro bacterial biofilms. The selected studies were gathered from the PubMed and Web of Science databases. These include in vitro studies investigating decontamination methods used to clean Ti implant surfaces coated with bacterial biofilms until January 2024. The determined studies were filtered according to the PRISMA guidelines, and the Science in Risk Assessment and Policy (SciRAP) was used to assess the reporting and methodological quality of the included studies. A total of 634 full‐length peer‐reviewed articles were identified. After excluding duplicate papers between the databases and screening according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 studies were included. The decontamination methods investigated included mechanical, chemical, and physical methods, either as a single or in a combined approach. Significant variability was observed among the included studies. Combining the mechanical and physical methods with a chemical yielded the most significant reduction in both single‐ and multiple‐species biofilms. The current results do not indicate that any single decontamination technique is more effective than others in eradicating bacterial biofilm from Ti surfaces; the combined approach was more advantageous than the single ones.
Surgical management of a perineal hernia in a 24‐year‐old mare

Published: February 2025

SummaryA rare case of bilateral perineal hernia was reported in a 24‐year‐old Italian Trotter mare. The mare presented a history of chronic weight loss and bilateral perineal swelling. The right‐sided swelling displayed signs of being chronic, while the left side experienced a singular episode of acute perineal swelling, coinciding with signs of colic. Due to concerns regarding potential recurrent colic episodes and the risk of bowel entrapment, the mare was hospitalised to perform a complete clinical and diagnostic assessments, and to establish an appropriate treatment. Based on history, clinical manifestations, results of palpation and ultrasonography, it was determined that the swelling was indicative of bilateral perineal hernia. An initial attempt at surgical correction through appositional herniorrhaphy proved unsuccessful. Subsequently, a novel technique involving the transposition of the semimembranosus muscle was employed as a secondary intervention. This alternative surgical method effectively addressed the issue without any short‐ or long‐term recurrence or complications. In conclusion, perineal hernias should be included in differential diagnoses for perineal swelling in equids. Furthermore, when appositional herniorrhaphy proves ineffective, transposition of the semimembranosus muscle may be considered as a surgical option.

Published: February 2025

SummaryA 12‐year‐old Warmblood gelding was presented with acute, nonweightbearing left hindlimb lameness. A foreign object was detected in the toe area of the solar surface. Radiographic examination confirmed foot penetration by a metal object, perforating the distal phalanx and dorsally reaching the lamellar dermis. Standing surgical exploration was performed. After manual removal of the object, a small circular opening in the dorsal hoof wall was created to facilitate debridement and flushing of the complete tract. Radiographically, the distal phalanx presented an irregular circular defect (35 × 33 mm) at the dorsal half of the sole just medial to the sagittal plane, without other lesions. The horse received broad‐spectrum antimicrobial and nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory treatment. Lameness decreased gradually and the lesion presented progressive granulation and epithelisation. After 4 weeks, the horse was discharged from the hospital. A final cast change was performed during an ambulatory check‐up at the hospital 2 weeks later. At that stage, epithelisation was complete, and first signs of keratinisation were observed. Further follow‐up was performed by the referring veterinarian. The horse resumed its previous level of exercise in a riding school. Six‐month follow‐up did not reveal lameness; radiographically, the circular defect in the distal phalanx remained visible yet without other abnormalities.
Combination of Element Subdiscretization, Singular Element, and Displacement Jump Enrichment for Simulating Progressive Elastoplastic Fracture

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn this study, a strategy combining element subdiscretization, singular element, and displacement jump enrichment was developed to simulate crack propagation in elastoplastic materials. The background element mesh is independent of the crack path. The element enveloping the crack tip is subdiscretized to subtriangular quarter‐point singular elements to represent the singularity there. The elements fully or partly split by the crack were enriched with the Heaviside function to reflect the displacement discontinuity across the two sides of the crack. The proposed method possesses an attractive advantage of being able to employ nearly all the available nonlinear models of finite element method (FEM) directly in crack tip region by using stress singular element instead of asymptotic singular function. Here, the Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) model was employed as crack growth law in elastoplastic materials. The proposed strategy was validated by several numerical simulations of crack propagation in elastoplastic materials including scenarios of mixed fracture mode and nonmonotonic loads.

AbstractThe article provides a comprehensive description of the synthesis and characterization of Ca2.5Ag0.3Ce0.2Co4O9 semiconducting ceramics for potential application in thermoelectric generators, particularly in the aerospace industry. These materials were synthesized using the sol–gel method, with distilled water serving as the solvent and citric acid monohydrate incorporated into expedited gel formation. The pH and turbidity values of solutions were monitored through a pH meter and turbidimeter, respectively. The produced xerogel was subjected to drying at 200°C for 2 h in an air atmosphere to remove residual moisture and volatile by‐products. The desiccated powders were then heat‐treated at 800°C for 2 h under ambient air conditions, yielding the final Ca2.5Ag0.3Ce0.2Co4O9 compound. Thermal processing of the resulting pellets was carried out at 900°C for 24 h to fabricate bulk samples. Comprehensive characterization was performed to assess thermal, structural, microstructural, and thermoelectric behaviors via DTA‐TG, XRD, XPS, SEM, and TM machines. It was found that at 800°C, a maximum power factor of .24 mW/m·K2 was achieved, derived from a Seebeck coefficient of 214.30 µV/K and electrical resistivity of 19.05 mΩ·cm at the same temperature. The synthesized ceramic materials exhibit promising thermoelectric efficiency, making them suitable for thermoelectric generator production.
Skills for a Circular Economy Transformation—A Regional Case Study From Sweden
Authors: Martin Hanna 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTAmong the contributions on skills in economic geography and related disciplines, the skills required in a regional context for putting circular economy into practice remain largely unaddressed. Labour markets have however a strong regional dimension, and industry development and transformation is often heavily reliant on already existing skills in a region. The objective of this paper is to make explicit the skills required by employers for implementing circularity in regional manufacturing industries. Furthermore, it addresses where these skills are obtained from, and whether there is a connection to already existing industrial specialisations. The theoretical framework of the paper draws on contributions from the economic geography of labour markets as well as the circular economy. The paper is based on in‐depth interviews with companies and supporting actors engaged in circular economy development in the vehicles/automotive and the textile industries in the West Gothland region in Sweden. The findings reveal that circular economy imposes new skill demands on manufacturing industries, many of which are applicable across various industrial contexts. The industries face an increased need for material‐specific and technological skills to ensure an improved durability and separability of materials and components. At the same time, the outcomes emphasise the importance of a variety of non‐technological skills and point towards so far less addressed opportunities for learning and skill transfer between different industry contexts. Furthermore, the circular economy puts focus on a variety of low‐skill jobs that have largely been unconsidered in the literature.

ABSTRACTIntroductionAn effective cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) algorithm classifies each left ventricular (LV) pace as effective or ineffective based on electrogram morphology. Loss of capture, latency, pseudo‐fusion during sinus rhythm, and rapid ventricular responses due to atrial fibrillation (AF) and premature ventricular conductions (PVCs) are potential causes of ineffective CRT pacing. However, little is known about the relationship between percentage of ineffective CRT pacing (%i‐CRT) and CRT response.Methods and ResultsAmong 136 consecutive CRT recipients, we evaluated 44 patients with an effective CRT algorithm. The primary outcome was the prevalence of CRT responders, defined as a reduction in the LV end‐systolic volume by ≥ 10% 6 months after implantation. The median values of percent ventricular pacing and %i‐CRT were 97.5% (interquartile range [IQR]: 96.4%–98.3%) and 0.3% (IQR: 0.1%–1.0%), respectively. Patients in the highest quartile of %i‐CRT (%i‐CRT ≥ 1%) showed a significantly lower prevalence of CRT responders (4 [36.4%] vs. 28 [84.8%], p = 0.004) than the remaining quartiles. The univariate analysis showed that %i‐CRT ≥ 1% was negatively associated with the CRT response (odds ratio: 0.10, 95% confidence interval: 0.02–0.48). The most frequent cause of ineffective pacing was rapid ventricular responses due to AF and/or PVCs, whereas the cause of the highest %i‐CRT in this cohort was latency. A total of three nonresponders with a high %i‐CRT showed favorable responses after therapeutic interventions for their hidden causes.ConclusionHigh %i‐CRT could be associated with an unfavorable CRT response and provide insights into hidden causes and therapeutic targets.
Pregnant nurses' occupational stress and associated factors: A comparative cross‐sectional study with other healthcare workers, physical workers, and desk workers

AbstractAimTo examine occupational stress levels and associated factors among pregnant nurses through a comparison with pregnant non‐nurses.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included 1060 working pregnant women. Participants completed questionnaires including the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, work conditions, obstetric conditions, Sense of Coherence Scale, and self‐management behaviors questionnaire. The participants were categorized into four groups: nurses, other healthcare workers, physical workers, and desk workers. Comparisons were made between the four groups and by gestational ages using Dunnett's test and chi‐squared test, and associated factors were examined using ordinal logistic regression analysis.ResultsAnalysis of 847 valid responses showed that the nurse group had a higher occupational stress, higher job demand, and lower job control at any gestational age than the other profession groups. Nurses' occupational stress was associated with factors such as frequent overtime work, fewer break times, lower manager support, and lower prioritizing the fetus. Particularly, fewer break times and lower prioritizing the fetus were nurse‐specific associated factors.ConclusionsThe study showed that pregnant nurses are exposed to higher occupational stress throughout the entire pregnancy than other occupations. The stress was related to modifiable factors such as fewer break times and lower prioritizing the fetus. To manage occupational stress, pregnant nurses should avoid overtime, take breaks, and prioritize the fetus in the workplace. Hospital administrators would need to provide work coordination support and consider certain regulations regarding hazardous work restrictions for pregnant nurses. Future cohort studies are required to better understand occupational stress among pregnant nurses.

AbstractAimThis study aimed to identify sexual satisfaction and related factors in Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease, as well as the characteristics of patients who refrained from responding to the sexual satisfaction question.MethodsA questionnaire survey was administered to 499 patients, of whom 492 were available for the analysis. Sexual satisfaction was measured using 5‐point scale derived from “I am satisfied with my sex life” item in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy‐Fatigue. Patient characteristics (sex, age, marital status, and job status) were collected. Additionally, we obtained data from the scale regarding nonresponse to the sexual satisfaction, sleep deprivation status, emotional well‐being, and fatigue subscales, and collected information on disease status from the medical records, including the partial Mayo Score and Crohn's Disease Activity Index.ResultsRegarding sex life satisfaction, the most common response was somewhat (24.8%). There were 173 (35.2%) patients who refrained from answering the sexual satisfaction question. Females and those of older age tended to avoid answering the question. Impaired sexual satisfaction was also significantly associated with older age, sleep deprivation, low emotional well‐being subscale scores, and greater effects of fatigue.ConclusionSexual satisfaction is related to chronic conditions in such areas as emotional well‐being, fatigue, and sleep deprivation in inflammatory bowel disease patients, even when they are in remission. These results suggest that patients with inflammatory bowel disease are sometimes reluctant to talk about sex. Therefore, it is important for medical staff to consider this issue, especially in Japan.
Biodiversity—The Cornerstone of Sustainable Aquaculture Development: Insights From the Breeding of Approved Fish Varieties for Aquaculture From 1996 to 2024 in China

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTAquaculture, especially fish farming, plays a critical role in sustainable food production worldwide, with human consumption of fish and fish products exceeding that of capture fisheries. While aquatic species constitute an invaluable reserve of biodiversity, the values of biodiversity in aquaculture remain largely unacknowledged. China is not only the most significant consumer but also the most prominent contributor to global aquaculture production. This study delineates the characteristics of 150 fish varieties approved for aquaculture in China between 1996 and 2024, including species diversity, habitat distribution, and trophic level of their germplasm resources, to illustrate why biodiversity matters in our food systems. Our results reveal an increasing trend in the use of native fish species, which inhabit diverse habitats and occupy higher trophic levels, in the cultivation of novel fish varieties for aquaculture. We also found that 81 (54%) of the 150 approved varieties involved multiple germplasm resources with 46 (30.7%) being interspecific. These observations emphasize the reliance of aquaculture breeding on the diversity of germplasm resources, which fundamentally depend on natural biodiversity. Taken together, the breeding practices adopted for the approved fish varieties in China highlight the significance of biodiversity conservation in the sustainable advancement of aquaculture.
