Research on the investment decisions of PV micro‐grid enterprises under carbon trading mechanisms
Authors: Yu Guanyi , Wang Kai , Hu Yumeng , Chen Weidong 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAchieving carbon neutrality targets requires substantial financial support. Effective utilization of renewable energy is an essential means of promoting energy‐saving and emission reduction to realize a green and circular economy. This paper combines carbon trading mechanisms with the operational mode of Chinese micro‐grid enterprises. This method uses the real options theory to construct an investment decision model for photovoltaic (PV) micro‐grid enterprises. The study aims to analyze the impact of carbon trading revenue on a numerical simulation of PV micro‐grid enterprise investment decisions. The findings demonstrate that when projected growth rates, volatility standard deviations, and risk‐free interest rates rise in the carbon trading market, the carbon price threshold rises, causing businesses to seek out investment opportunities with higher future carbon prices. The increase of micro‐grid generation technology acceptance probability, the availability of resources to meet generation investment requirements, and the generation project cycle will decrease the carbon price threshold and accelerate enterprise investment. Studying the influence of carbon trading prices on micro‐grid investment has specific guidance and practical significance for future government subsidy policies and the investment strategies of grid enterprises.

AbstractObjectiveObstetric anal sphincter injures (OASIS) have long‐term implications on women's health. Administration of antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment following OASIS repair is controversial. We conducted a national survey to provide data about practice routines regarding antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment following OASIS repair in Israeli labor and delivery units.MethodsA national survey was performed among obstetricians and gynecologists from 24 university‐affiliated delivery centers within the jurisdiction of the Israeli Ministry of Health during 2020. Representatives from each center completed the “Google form” electronic survey. For each questionnaire item, the most common answer was chosen to represent the center's answer.ResultsThe number of physicians who responded per center varied from 1 to 14 (median, 3.5). Preoperative and postoperative antibiotic treatment was given in 75% and 92% of the centers, respectively. While most centers (58.3%) recommend pelvic floor physical therapy on release, recommendations about functional radiologic tests vary. In all centers, there is a designated clinic for postpartum follow‐up of OASIS. Most centers (83%) allow trial of vaginal delivery in the subsequent pregnancy, on an individual basis.ConclusionHeterogeneity exists in managing OASIS in Israel, particularly regarding administration of antibiotics. Further studies are needed to examine the consequences of different management protocols.
Out of sight, out of mind: Impact of an antimicrobial stewardship initiative to reduce fluoroquinolone utilization
Authors: Black Blade , Beadle Kathy , Harding Stephanie J 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIntroductionIn June 2017, the antimicrobial stewardship team at Wesley Healthcare implemented a combination of strategies aimed at reducing fluoroquinolone usage. The components included suppression of fluoroquinolone susceptibility in Enterobacterales isolates, removal of fluoroquinolones as first‐line options in order sets, and introduction of a respiratory‐specific antibiogram.ObjectivesThe objective was to evaluate the impact of combined stewardship strategies on fluoroquinolone utilization.MethodsThis was a quality improvement study evaluating fluoroquinolone use within a health‐care system. The primary outcome was ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin usage in days of therapy (DOT) per 1000 inpatient days collected at monthly intervals for 24 months before and after the intervention. Overall antibacterial usage in DOT served as a control variable. The secondary outcomes were Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility to ciprofloxacin measured at the same time points. An interrupted time series analysis using segmented regression was performed for all variables.ResultsThe mean monthly levofloxacin usage was reduced from 14.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 12.7‐15.4) to 8.4 (95% CI, 7.6‐9.3) DOT. The mean monthly ciprofloxacin usage was reduced from 26.9 (95% CI, 24.6‐29.4) to 15.8 (95% CI, 14.0‐17.5) DOT. The trend in levofloxacin usage was reduced (P = .035), while a pre‐existing downward trend in ciprofloxacin usage was unchanged (P = .430). Overall antibacterial usage increased (P = .001). There were no differences in Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibilities observed.ConclusionThe use of combined antimicrobial stewardship strategies may be a viable intervention method to reduce fluoroquinolone usage. The combined strategy was effective in reducing levofloxacin usage, as demonstrated by the reduction of use and the downward usage trend.

Published: May 2022

AbstractPurposeTo explore the value of the expression of serum miR‐92 and miR‐122 combined with lung ultrasound score (LUS) in the prognosis of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Patients and methodsThis study involved 148 neonatal ARDS cases from January 2018 to October 2021, of which 77 children were discharged from hospital and 31 died. The children with ARDS were classified according to disease severity based on X‐ray examination as mild (n = 69 cases) and severe (n = 39 cases). The expression of serum miR‐92 and miR‐122 was detected by real‐time fluorescence quantitative PCR and the LUS score was recorded. The data were subjected to ROC curve analysis and Pearson correlation analysis.ResultsThe expression of serum miR‐92, miR‐122, and LUS score in the patients that died were significantly higher than in those who survived (p < 0.05). These indicators were also significantly higher in the severe disease group compared to the mild disease group (p < 0.05). ROC curve showed that serum miR‐92 and miR‐122 combined with the LUS score had the largest area under the curve (0.920, 95% CI: 0.860–0.977) for predicting death, with a sensitivity and specificity of 92.0% and 87.0%, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of serum miR‐92 and miR‐122 were positively correlated with the LUS score (all p < 0.01).ConclusionsThe increased expression of serum miR‐92 and miR‐122 is related to the severity and prognosis of children with ARDS, combined with the LUS score are of value to predict the prognosis of children with ARDS.
Dental education and prison health: A scoping review
Authors: Wickramasinghe Danushi , Gray Ruth , Plugge Emma 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIntroductionThere is a huge oral disease burden among imprisoned people. Comprehensive guidelines are available on prison dentistry. Prison dental education is important to increase the quality and quantity of the dental workforce in prisons. It improves student perceptions about imprisoned people and gives students a sense of social responsibility and accountability.ObjectivesThe aim of the scoping review was to determine what is known in the literature about teaching pre‐doctoral dental students about prison health.MethodsA literature search was conducted on seven databases accessed through the Public Health England knowledge and library services. These databases were AMED, Embase, Emcare, Medline, Social Care Institute for Excellence, Web of Science, and Social Care Online. Appraisal of quality was done for included studies.ResultsEleven papers were included in the review, all of which are based in the USA. Two articles looked at dental students as one group engaged in prison health education while five considered imprisoned people as one of the vulnerable populations focused on dental education. Only four articles solely looked at prison dental education. Program design with a collaborative approach between prisons and teaching institutions, and the positive impact of prison health education on dental students emerged as important.ConclusionThe evidence suggests prison dental education to be important in reducing the high burden of oral diseases among the incarcerated by influencing the present and future prison dental workforce. It also improves students’ understanding of social determinants of health. Further studies are needed to determine the most effective teaching methods and models.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundNot all patients suffer from a severe course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection, demanding a definition of groups at risk. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) has been assumed to be a risk factor, because of the complexity of disease, the need for interdisciplinary care, and frequent contact with caretakers. We aimed to establish data on the course of infection and prevalence of SARS‐CoV‐2 seropositivity in SBS patients in Germany.MethodsFrom January 2021 until January 2022 a total of 119 patients from three different tertiary care centers with SBS were included. All patients received an antibody test against the nucleocapsid (N) antigen and were asked to fill out a questionnaire, which included frequency of contact with medical personnel, risk behavior and worries.ResultsSixty‐seven percent of SBS patients received parenteral nutrition with a median of 6 days per week. The seroprevalence of SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies was 7.6% (n = 9). Seven patients with positive antibodies had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) with a mild course. None of the patients were hospitalized or needed further treatment. There was no difference in willingness to take risks in SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody–positive and –negative patients (P = 0.61). Patients were predominantly worried about the economy (61%) and transmitting COVID‐19 (52%), less frequent (26%) about receiving insufficient medical treatment.ConclusionThese are the first clinical results concerning SARS‐CoV‐2 seropositivity and COVID‐19 disease in patients with SBS. The seropositivity is comparable to national data, which we attribute to increased risk awareness and avoidance. Further studies are warranted to investigate effects of COVID‐19 infection in SBS patients.

In the first round, 96 items (structure – 31, process – 38, and outcome – 27) were distributed to the panellists through e‐mail. The same method guided round 2. In round 3, the panellists reached a consensus on the number and structure of the items.ResultsIn round 1, the initial items were reduced to 75 that met the Delphi consensus. In round 2, the items were modified further and reduced to 74. In round 3, the experts reached a consensus on 70 items (structure – 28, process – 32, and outcome – 10).
How I approach the use of bibliotherapy in caring for children with oncologic and hematologic conditions
Authors: Weaver Meaghann S. , Pennarola Brian W. , Fry Abigail , Wiener Lori 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBibliotherapy utilizes storybook readings to foster expressive therapy for children. Storybooks represent a readily available yet underutilized support tool in pediatric hematology and oncology care settings. Storybooks can help explain a new diagnosis, treatment plan, body changes, and identity adjustment in a relatable way for patients to then have a safe space to process questions and emotions. This paper serves as a “how to” guide for clinicians to consider bibliotherapy for a patient, select suitable book options, and introduce and incorporate bibliotherapy as part of comprehensive care.

AbstractPediatric hematology/oncology fellows face unique quality improvement challenges given the danger of chemotherapy and caring for immunocompromised patients. Curricula to teach pediatric hematology/oncology fellows about quality improvement are lacking. We conducted a needs assessment of pediatric hematology/oncology physicians as a first step for creating a quality improvement curriculum for pediatric hematology/oncology fellows. Curricular topics were identified: root cause analysis, run charts, process mapping, chemotherapy/medication safety, implementation/adherence to guidelines. Identified barriers to curriculum implementation included a possible lack of quality improvement expertise, lack of awareness of quality improvement resources, and limited time.

AbstractElectrospun nanofibers are emerging reinforcing fillers with epoxy matrix owing to its high aspect ratio, surface area, and mechanical properties resulting in wider applications. Application of non‐woven configuration of nanofiber mats, collected from electrospinning has been traditionally confined to improve interlaminar responses of fiber reinforced composites. However, potential of short nanofiber in improving bulk matrix properties cannot be under estimated. This study adopts matrix modification approach by incorporating different concentration of nylon 6 short nanofiber in epoxy matrix to investigate its influence on tensile and viscoelastic properties of nanocomposite. Results showed a moderate improvement in modulus for nanocomposites despite to general drop in strength, however fracture energy and failure strain improved significantly at an optimum concentration of 0.1 wt% nanofiber. In addition, highest storage modulus as well as damping factor was recorded with decline in glass transition temperature for 0.1 wt% nanofiber content. Moreover, it was revealed that addition of nanofiber altered brittle fracture to neck‐featured ductile mode and effectively introduced energy absorbing interfaces making it well suit for diverse applications.
Conformational bias in density functional theory ring strain energy calculations of cyclopentene derivatives: Towards predictive design of chemically recyclable elastomers

Published: May 2022

AbstractEquilibrium ring opening metathesis polymerization of low strained cycloolefins is opportunistic for the development of novel materials capable of chemical recycling to monomer (CRM). However, many of the potential materials for CRM contain complex side chains complicating predictions of their ring strain energies (RSE). The effects of different conformational considerations on RSE predictions using density functional theory (DFT) are explored. New homodesmotic equations are investigated to capture changes in olefin conformation upon polymerization. The employment ofcis‐2‐butene as a corrective factor with a 2,7‐nonadiene linear analog bearing onecisand onetransolefin (H2cis) resulted in RSEs similar to previously reported ΔHpvalues. Different consideration of possible conformers aside from their lowest energy counterparts leads to a range of predicted RSE values. Similarly, the application of a Boltzmann distribution resulted in negligible differences in RSE. Therefore, RSE predictions using the lowest energy structures with H2ciscalculated at B3LYP/6‐31+G* in toluene is a sufficient approach for predicting RSE of monomers with multiple conformers. This method can be used to screen a monomer's potential for CRM to reduce the time, cost, waste, and effort necessary to research new materials towards a more circular polymer economy.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe 3′‐end poly(A) tail is an important and potent feature of most mRNA molecules that affects mRNA fate and translation efficiency. Polyadenylation is a posttranscriptional process that occurs in the nucleus by canonical poly(A) polymerases (PAPs). In some specific instances, the poly(A) tail can also be extended in the cytoplasm by noncanonical poly(A) polymerases (ncPAPs). This epitranscriptomic regulation of mRNA recently became one of the most interesting aspects in the field. Advances in RNA sequencing technologies and software development have allowed the precise measurement of poly(A) tails, identification of new ncPAPs, expansion of the function of known enzymes, discovery and a better understanding of the physiological role of tail heterogeneity, and recognition of a correlation between tail length and RNA translatability. Here, we summarize the development of polyadenylation research methods, including classic low‐throughput approaches, Illumina‐based genome‐wide analysis, and advanced state‐of‐art techniques that utilize long‐read third‐generation sequencing with Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies platforms. A boost in technical opportunities over recent decades has allowed a better understanding of the regulation of gene expression at the mRNA level.This article is categorized under:

Perfect discretizations as a gateway to one-loop partition functions for 4D gravity
Authors: Asante Seth K. , Dittrich Bianca 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Lattice actions and amplitudes that perfectly mirror continuum physics are known as perfect discretizations. Such perfect discretizations naturally preserve the symmetries of the continuum. This is a key concern for general relativity, where diffeomorphism symmetry and dynamics are deeply connected, and diffeomorphisms play a crucial role in quantization. In this work we construct for the first time a perfect discretizations for four-dimensional linearized gravity. We show how the perfect discretizations lead to a straightforward construction of the one-loop quantum corrections for manifolds with boundary. This will also illustrate, that for manifolds with boundaries, gauge modes that affect the boundary, need to be taken into account. This work provides therefore an evaluation of the boundary action for the diffeomorphism modes for a general class of backgrounds.
Infinite-dimensional algebraic $$ \mathfrak{Spin} $$(N) structure in extended/higher dimensional SUSY holoraumy for valise and on shell supermultiplet representations

Abstract
We explore the relationship between holoraumy and Hodge duality beyond four dimensions. We find this relationship to be ephemeral beyond six dimensions: it is not demanded by the structure of such supersymmetrical theories. In four dimensions for the case of the vector-tensor $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 4 multiplet, however, we show that such a linkage is present. Reduction to 1D theories presents evidence for a linkage from higher-dimensional supersymmetry to an infinite-dimensional algebra extending $$ \mathfrak{Spin} $$

AbstractBackgroundAfrican-American and Latinx youth are disproportionately exposed to neighborhood violence and are overrepresented in the U.S. juvenile justice system. Perceived neighborhood violence is associated with negative health outcomes.ObjectiveWe examined associations between African-American and Latinx youths’ perceived neighborhood violence and health during reentry after juvenile incarceration.MethodsYouth (n = 50) returning home after incarceration completed health questionnaires at one-month post-incarceration. A subset of participants (n = 25 youth) also participated in one-on-one, semi-structured longitudinal interviews.ResultsTwenty-eight (56%) participants reported neighborhood violence in quantitative surveys. Quantitative analyses revealed that perceived neighborhood violence was positively associated with reported asthma diagnosis, doctor recommendations for medical follow-up, perceived stress, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Perceived neighborhood violence was negatively correlated with perceived family support. Stress ratings were associated with ACE total scores, moderate to severe depression symptoms, and family support. Moderate-to-severe depression symptoms were significantly correlated with lower ratings of family support. Qualitative interviews supplemented our quantitative findings and showed that responses to perceived neighborhood violence were linked to specific health-related behaviors, such as substance use or avoidance of gang activity.ConclusionsOverall, our quantitative and qualitative results indicate that perceived neighborhood violence is associated with many negative psychosocial factors that could impact overall health and wellbeing of youth undergoing reentry. Treatment implications include the development and testing of family-centered interventions that help improve the transition back into the community for youth undergoing reentry and especially, their access to evidence-based treatment, including leveraging family telehealth substance use interventions.
