Published: February 2022

AbstractThe cognitive functioning of children who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) has received less attention than their emotional‐behavioral outcomes. Drawing upon data from 615 (48.4% female) 10‐year‐old Australian‐born children and their mothers (9.6% of mothers born in non‐English speaking countries) participating in a community‐based longitudinal study between 2004 and 2016, this study examined the associations between IPV in infancy and cognition in middle childhood (at age 10). Results showed that IPV in the first 12 months of life was associated with lower general cognitive ability and poorer executive attention but not working memory skills. IPV in middle childhood (in the 10th year postpartum) was not associated with cognition. This study provides evidence for the long‐term impact of early life exposure to IPV on children's cognition, and points to the importance of early intervention to optimize development.

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to identify the additional effects of collagen membrane (CM) and of synthetic bone substitute (BS) on lateral bone augmentation of chronic peri‐implant defect with titanium mesh (TM).Materials and MethodsAtrophic alveolar ridge was induced in six canine mandibles, and 5 peri‐implant defects were achieved in each hemi‐mandible. Bone augmentation was attempted using the following randomly allocated modalities: (1) Control: no treatment, (2) TM only group: blood clot covered by TM, (3) TM+BS group: BS covered by TM, (4) TM+CM group: blood clot covered by TM and CM, and (5) TM+BS+CM group: BS covered by TM and CM. After 16 weeks of submerged healing, micro‐CT and histomorphometric analyses were performed.ResultsTM exposure occurred in one case in the TM only group, one case in the TM+CM group, and two cases in the TM+BS+CM group. Histologically, pseudo‐periosteum was observed along the inner and outer surfaces of TM, and the directions of the collagen fiber within the pseudo‐periosteum differed according to the additional use of CM. In general, the TM only group rendered higher values in vertical defect fill and dimension of the augmented hard tissue in comparison with the other treatment groups.ConclusionsDue to the small sample size, this pilot study remains inconclusive. Within the limitations of the study, the use of CM and/or BS did not appear to have an additional benefit on lateral bone augmentation of peri‐implant defect with TM.

AbstractThe traditional dyeing process of reactive dyes requires a large amount of inorganic salts to accelerate the combination of dyes and textiles, which leads to substantially more water pollution. In this work, we used a quaternary ammonium‐type cationic modifier, 3‐chloro‐2‐hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC), to modify the viscose acetal fibre before the dyeing process. After the modification, reactive dyes were dyed without any inorganic salt. Then the fabric was finished with a commercial wet rubbing fastness enhancer, FM‐8, to improve the colour fastness. The modified viscose acetal fibre was characterised by Fourier Transform–infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that viscose acetal fibre was modified successfully by CHPTAC and that the physical structure did not noticeably change following the modification. The optimum process was determined by establishing the ideal amount of modifier and the modification temperature, as well as the concentrations of sodium hydroxide and soda ash. The results show that the most suitable parameters were 80 g/L for the modifier dosage, a modification temperature of 70°C, 20 g/L of sodium hydroxide and 10 g/L of soda ash. The wet rubbing fastness was grade 4‐5 after finishing and dyeing. The exhaustion percentage was significantly higher than that for traditional dyeing, and the K/S and dyeing uniformity were both higher than traditional salt dyeing.

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimTo estimate the fiscal burden for taxpayers in Sweden associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) attributed to diabetes‐related complications in patients failing to meet HbA1c targets.Material and MethodsWe developed a public economic framework to assess how changes in diabetes‐related complications influenced projected tax contributions and government disability payments for people with T2D. The analysis applied accepted disease‐modelling practices to estimate different rates of diabetes‐related complications based on an HbA1c of 6.9% (52 mmol/mol) and of 6.0% (42 mmol/mol). We adjusted the employment activity rates for those experiencing T2D‐related events, applying age‐specific earnings to estimate lifetime tax losses. Furthermore, the likelihood of receiving payments for health‐related employment inactivity was estimated. Direct healthcare costs are excluded from this analysis.ResultsThe estimated per person earnings loss for immediate and delayed HbA1c control was Swedish krona (SEK) 42 299 and SEK 44 157, respectively, over 10 years. The lost employment activity of people with T2D translates to lost tax revenues of SEK 23 265 and SEK 24 287 for immediate and delayed control, respectively. The estimated difference in disability payments was SEK 538. Combining the tax revenue loss and excess disability payments defines the broader fiscal costs, where we observe combined fiscal losses that favour immediate and sustained control by SEK 1560 over 10 years.ConclusionsWe show that conducting fiscal analysis of diabetes interventions offers an enriched perspective capturing a range of costs that fall on government in relation to lost tax revenue and disability payments. Tax‐financed health systems may benefit from broadening the consideration of costs and benefits when evaluating new interventions and treatment practices.
Environmental stressors alter multiple determinants of individual reproductive output in the acid‐tolerant mayfly Leptophlebia vespertina

Abstract1. Environmental stressors such as acidification modify community composition in freshwater habitats through their direct and indirect effects on individuals. However, the effect of acidification on various aspects of individual fitness is poorly known in aquatic insects, a key group in many freshwater habitats.2. Here, the influence of acidification (acidity and Al toxicity), food quality and habitat properties on the reproduction of an acid‐tolerant mayfly Leptophlebia vespertina (Linnaeus, 1758) in a group of Central European lakes is explored. The focus is on last‐instar larvae as the short‐lived, semelparous adults cannot mitigate stress experienced by the larvae.3. It is shown that the environment affects multiple determinants of individual reproductive output both directly by affecting body size and fecundity in last‐instar larvae, and indirectly by releasing the larvae from density dependence. Populations tended to be denser in more acidic sites and individuals in denser populations were substantially smaller and had lower size‐dependent fecundity and reproductive effort. All else being equal, larvae from colder sites were larger, suggesting an important role of the temperature‐size rule in this species. Size‐dependent fecundity and reproductive effort increased with better food conditions as expected, but neither reproductive measure was affected by acidity or temperature. Finally, a weak egg size‐number trade‐off with slightly smaller eggs in more fecund females was detected.4. These results imply that indirect ecological feedbacks and food quality, rather than the direct effects of stressful environment, may dominate the effects of environmental stressors on the reproductive output of acid‐tolerant species such as L. vespertina.
Dissecting co‐management: Fisher participation across management components and implications for governance
Authors: Puley Melina , Charles Anthony 
Published: February 2022

AbstractCo‐management—fisher participation in fisheries management—varies across two fundamental dimensions. The most commonly addressed is a ‘ladder of participation’ reflecting the degree to which decision‐making is shared between government and fishers. The other dimension reflects if, and how, co‐management is implemented across the ‘management spectrum’ of functional components of management: (1) direction‐setting, planning and policy development; (2) harvest management; (3) compliance and enforcement; (4) ecosystem stewardship, conservation, rehabilitation; (5) research; and (6) organizational management and development. This article presents an approach to combining these two dimensions in a comprehensive manner, to better understand and assess the nuances of co‐management in practice. The approach is tested through application to fisheries of Nova Scotia, Canada, with representatives of organized fisher associations assessing the nature and extent of participation, both current and desired, for each of the six management components. This leads to insights about the fishery management components that tend to have greater or lesser fisher participation, differences in perceived levels of current and desired participation, the willingness and capacity of fisher associations to take on various management tasks and potential directions to improve fishery co‐management practices.
Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4‐dispersed In2O3‐spotted ZnO nanoparticles: Ammonia‐source and surface and photocatalytic properties

Published: February 2022

AbstractAmmonia‐source, used to attain the desired pH during synthesis, is conceived to influence the physical characteristics of ZnO‐based nanomaterials, and the catalytic activity is susceptible to surface characteristics of semiconductor–photocatalyst. In this context, Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4‐dispersed In2O3‐spotted ZnO nanoparticles have been obtained by using either tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide or ammonium carbonate as ammonia‐source at identical pH (9) using identical quantities of the precursors following identical synthetic procedure. The nanoparticles have been characterized using energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, elemental mapping, selected area electron and X‐ray diffractometries, transmission electron microscopy, etc. The nanoparticles obtained using ammonium carbonate possess larger (1) pore width, (2) pore volume, and (3) surface area compared with nanoparticles prepared employing tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide. Although the electrical properties of both the samples do not differ remarkably, the violet light‐absorption of the sample prepared using the carbonate is slightly larger than that of the other sample. Further, the In2O3‐spotting is slightly larger on using ammonium carbonate than using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide. To degrade dye under visible light, the sample obtained using ammonium carbonate shows larger catalytic activity compared with nanoparticles prepared using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide. The observed photocatalytic activities are explained based on the surface characteristics.

ObjectivesTo evaluate postoperative complications following robot‐assisted radical cystectomy in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and reveal if there are predictors for postoperative complications.MethodsProspectively collected medical records of 730 robot‐assisted radical cystectomy patients between 2007/04 and 2019/05 in 13 tertiary referral centers were reviewed. Perioperative outcomes were compared between two groups by postoperative complications (complication vs non‐complication). We assessed recurrence‐free survival, cancer‐specific survival, and overall survival between groups. Regression analyses were implemented to identify factors associated with postoperative complications.ResultsAny total and high‐grade complication (Clavien–Dindo grade ≥3) rates were 57.8% and 21.1%, respectively. Patients in complication group had significantly higher proportion of diabetes mellitus (P = 0.048), chronic kidney disease (P = 0.011), dyslipidemia (P < 0.001), longer operation time (P = 0.001), more estimated blood loss (P = 0.001), and larger intraoperative fluid volume (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in cancer‐specific survival (log‐rank P = 0.038, median cancer‐specific survival: both groups not reached). Dyslipidemia (odds ratio 2.59, P = 0.002) and intraoperative fluid volume (odds ratio 1.0002, P = 0.040) were significantly associated with high‐grade postoperative complications. Diabetes mellitus (odds ratio 1.97, P = 0.028), chronic kidney disease (odds ratio 1.89, P = 0.046), dyslipidemia (odds ratio 5.94, P = 0.007), and intraoperative fluid volume (odds ratio 1.0002, P = 0.009) were significantly associated with any postoperative complications.ConclusionsPatients with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, or a relatively large intraoperatively infused fluid volume are more likely to develop postoperative complications. Patients with postoperative complications might have a possibility of lower cancer‐specific survival rate.

Published: February 2022

AbstractObesity is accompanied by and accelerated with chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, especially visceral adipose tissue (VAT). This low‐level inflammation predisposes the host to the development of metabolic disease, most notably type 2 diabetes. We have focused on the capacity of glycolipid‐reactive, CD1d‐restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells to modulate obesity and its associated metabolic sequelae. We previously reported that CD1d knockout (KO) mice are partially protected against the development of obesity‐associated insulin resistance, and these findings were recapitulated in mice with an adipocyte‐specific CD1d deficiency, suggesting that NKT cell–adipocyte interactions play a critical role in exacerbating disease. However, many other CD1d‐expressing cells contribute to the in vivo responses of NKT cells to lipid antigens. In the present study, we examined the role of CD1d expression by macrophages (Mϕ) in the development of obesity‐associated metabolic inflammation using LysMcre‐cd1d1f/f mice where the CD1d1 gene is disrupted in a Mϕ‐specific manner. Unexpectedly, these animals contained a higher frequency of T‐bet+ CD4+ T cells in VAT with increased production of Th1 cytokines that aggravated VAT inflammation. Mϕ from mutant mice displayed increased production of IL‐12p40, suggesting M1 polarization. These findings indicate that interactions of CD1d on Mϕ with NKT cells play a beneficial role in obesity‐associated VAT inflammation and insulin resistance with a sharp contrast to an aggravating role of CD1d in another type of antigen‐presenting cell, dendritic cells.
Two‐phase strategies for the bi‐objective minimum spanning tree problem
Authors: Amorosi Lavinia , Puerto Justo 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis paper presents a new two‐phase algorithm for the bi‐objective minimum spanning tree (BMST) problem. In the first phase, it computes the extreme supported efficient solutions resorting to both mathematical programming and algorithmic approaches, while the second phase is devoted to obtaining the remaining efficient solutions (non‐extreme supported and non‐supported). This latter phase is based on a new recursive procedure capable of generating all the spanning trees of a connected graph through edge interchanges based on increasing evaluation of non‐zero reduced costs of associated weighted linear programs. Such a procedure exploits a common property of a wider class of problems to which the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem belongs, that is the spanning tree structure of its basic feasible solutions. Computational experiments are conducted on different families of graphs and with different types of cost. These results show that this new two‐phase algorithm is correct, very easy to implement and it allows one to extract conclusions on the difficulty of finding the entire set of Pareto solutions of the BMST problem depending on the graph topology and the possible correlation of the edge costs.
The location routing problem with facility sizing decisions
Authors: Tordecilla Rafael D. , Montoya‐Torres Jairo R. , Quintero‐Araujo Carlos L. , Panadero Javier , Juan Angel A. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe location routing problem (LRP) integrates operational decisions on vehicle routing operations with strategic decisions on the location of the facilities or depots from which the distribution will take place. In other words, it combines the well‐known vehicle routing problem (VRP) with the facility location problem (FLP). Hence, the LRP is an NP‐hard combinatorial optimization problem, which justifies the use of metaheuristic approaches whenever large‐scale instances need to be solved. In this paper, we explore a realistic version of the LRP in which facilities of different capacities are considered, i.e., the manager has to consider not only the location but also the size of the facilities to open. In order to tackle this optimization problem, three mixed‐integer linear formulations are proposed and compared. As expected, they have been proved to be cost‐ and time‐ inefficient. Hence, a biased‐randomized iterated local search algorithm is proposed. Classical instances for the LRP with homogeneous facilities are naturally extended to test the performance of our approach.
Gas‐phase kinetic of boron carbide chemical vapor deposition using BCl3+CH4+H2 mixture
Authors: Gupta Anand , Nigam Shikhar , Shinde Vijay M. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractA detailed chemical kinetic mechanism consisting of 472 reactions and 61 species for the gas‐phase thermal decomposition of BCl3+CH4+H2 mixtures is used to model the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of boron carbide. The mechanism is constructed using a reaction mechanism generator (RMG), which is automatic and requires no or less human intervention. New functionality, considerable thermodynamic and kinetic data have been added to RMG to account for boron chemistry. The model considers all necessary reactions in the reaction pathways and reasonably predicts the experimental data available from the literature. The sensitivity analysis identifies crucial species responsible for boron carbide formation. Besides, a reduced mechanism (15 species and 26 reactions) is derived from a detailed mechanism, which could be used to expedite an effective CVD reactor design through numerical simulations. The performance of the reduced model is also evaluated concerning the complete mechanism, which shows that the reduced model can predict the reactor behavior reasonably well.

Published: February 2022

AbstractHere we report a transparent dual‐phase ZnO·2.7Al2O3 ceramic. The composite is pore‐free and consists of thin nanosheets with a spinel phase and a hexagonal phase, while the two phases match closely in both lattice and refractive index. Such features result in excellent optical transmittance (maximum value >80% in the visible spectrum) at comparable phase volume. This work may provide a new thought for the rational structural design of optical nanocomposites.
Using metacognitive prompts to enhance self‐regulated learning and learning outcomes: A meta‐analysis of experimental studies in computer‐based learning environments
Authors: Guo Lin 
Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundIt has been assumed that prompting students to plan, monitor and evaluate their learning process could stimulate strategy use and thereby improve learning outcomes.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine the effects of metacognitive prompts on students' self‐regulated learning (SRL) and learning outcomes in the context of computer‐based learning environments (CBLEs).MethodsTo achieve this, the current study took a meta‐analytic approach to critically evaluate evidence for the effectiveness of metacognitive prompts and identify potential moderators of the effects.Results and conclusionsWith random‐effects models, the results showed that metacognitive prompts significantly enhanced SRL activities (g = 0.50, 95% confidence interval [0.37, 0.63]) and learning outcomes (g = 0.40, 95% confidence interval [0.31, 0.49]) relative to the control conditions. Furthermore, moderator analyses revealed that the effects varied as a function of three prompts features: feedback, specificity and adaptability.ImplicationsDeveloping task‐specific, individual‐adaptive prompts and feedback should be a design principle in CBLEs, such that the prompt effect could be retained, sustainably enhanced and transferred to novel situations.

AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of persistent arrhythmia. Although its incidence has been increasing, the pathogenesis of AF in stroke remains unclear. In this study, a total of 30 participants were recruited, including 10 controls, 10 patients with AF and 10 patients with AF and stroke (AF + STROKE). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and functional annotation of DEGs, comparative toxicogenomic database analysis associated with cardiovascular diseases, and predictions of miRNAs of hub genes were performed. Using RT‐qPCR, biological process and support vector machine neural networks, numerous DEGs were found to be related to AF. HBG1, SNCA and GYPB were found to be upregulated in the AF group. Higher expression of hub genes in AF and AF + STROKE groups was detected via RT‐PCR. Upon training the biological process neural network of SNCA and GYPB for HBG1, only small differences were detected. Based on the support vector machine, the predicted value of SNCA and GYPB for HBG1 was 0.9893. Expression of the hub genes of HBG1, SNCA and GYPB might therefore be significantly correlated to AF. These genes are involved in the incidence of AF complicated by stroke, and may serve as targets for early diagnosis and treatment.
