Authors: Tanhayi Azize , Mirghafourvand Mojgan , Kondori Jafar , Moheb Naiemeh , Malakutie Jamileh , Hajizadeh Khadije 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can disrupt women’s work process, social activities and interpersonal communication and lead to a lower quality of life (QOL). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of happiness training based on Fordyce’s theory on QOL and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) in women with PMS.

Design/methodology/approach
This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 women (intervention = 50, control = 50). The intervention group participated in eight 120-min sessions of training counseling based on Fordyce happiness training. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the PANAS and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). A general linear model was used to compare the mean scores of QOL and positive and negative affect after the intervention.

Findings
After the intervention, the mean scores of negative affect [MD = −6.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) = −12.10 to −1.49] and body pain (MD = −26.19; 95% CI = −38.63 to −13.72) were significantly lower in the intervention compared to the control group. Also, the mean scores of physical functioning (MD = 42.0; 95% CI = 16.37 to 67.64) and vitality (MD = 10.40; 95% CI = 4.86 to 15.39) were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the controls.

Practical implications
Fordyce happiness training is recommended to be used in conjunction with other supportive and caregiving methods for women with PMS. Midwifes and nurses are the main source to give this training to women and can help them perform cognitive tasks, such as concentration, positive thinking and negative emotions.

Originality/value
This randomized controlled trial suggests Fordyce happiness training as a feasible and acceptable training program that can be beneficial in reducing negative affect in women with PMS.
Accelerated internationalization of SMEs and microfoundations of dynamic capabilities: towards an integrated conceptual framework
Authors: Chebbi Hela , Ben Selma Majdi , Bouzinab Kamal , Papadopoulos Andrew , Labouze Alexie , Desmarteau Robert 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Striving for growth since their early stages, many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly adopting an entrepreneurial behavior based on a rapid and early international expansion. Although some extant research have been done on the dynamic capabilities of SMEs’ accelerated internationalization–born global (BG) SMEs, no study was, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, carried on the microfoundations underlying this phenomenon. This paper aims to fill this gap in the literature and contribute to the growing theory development of SME’s microfoundations.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper proposes an integrated conceptual framework to better identify the microfoundations that influence born global SMEs internationalization by integrating individual, structural and processual – the microfoundations approach within the dynamic capabilities of sensing, seizing and reconfiguring.

Findings
Our propositions argue that born global SMEs are characterized by dynamic capabilities based on a combination of some individual (manager’s human and social capital, such as its personal orientation, experiences, cognition and intuition), process (market learning, technology development) and structural (agility, communication/coordination) factors that helps a lot in the acceleration of the internationalization process.

Research limitations/implications
Empirical study should be done to enrich the conceptual material.

Practical implications
To identify some international opportunities, companies should rely on the entrepreneurial orientation of its managers, its experience and network as well as the market-related learning and technological processes. The managerial cognition is important to seize opportunities while the manager’s human capital is needed to reconfigure resources while internationalizing rapidly.

Social implications
This research shows that individual attributes are important but insufficient to accelerate the internationalization process. Some individual characteristics are more useful in sensing international opportunities rapidly, such as manager’s international entrepreneurial, past experience and network, However, the managerial cognition is important to seize opportunities, whereas the manager’s human capital is needed to reconfigure resources while internationalizing rapidly.

Originality/value
Born global firms must develop several dynamic capabilities to foster their accelerated early international development. This paper gives insights about the individual, structural and processual of sensing international opportunities, seizing and reconfiguring resources and competencies for born globals.
Lightweight design of two-level supports for extrusion-based additive manufacturing based on metaheuristic algorithms
Authors: Feng Ruiliang , Jiang Jingchao , Thakur Atul , Wei Xiangzhi 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Two-level support with Level 1 consisting of a set of beams and Level 2 consisting of a tree-like structure is an efficient support structure for extrusion-based additive manufacturing (EBAM). However, the literature for finding a slim two-level support is rare. The purpose of this paper is to design a lightweight two-level support structure for EBAM.

Design/methodology/approach
To efficiently solve the problem, the lightweight design problem is split into two subproblems: finding a slim Level 1 support and a slim Level 2 support. To solve these two subproblems, this paper develops three efficient metaheuristic algorithms, i.e. genetic algorithm (GA), genetic programming (GP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). They are problem-independent and are powerful in global search. For the first subproblem, considering the path direction is a critical factor influencing the layout of Level 1 support, this paper solves it by splitting the overhang region into a set of subregions, and determining the path direction (vertical or horizontal) in each subregion using GA. For the second subproblem, a hybrid of two metaheuristic algorithms is proposed: the GP manipulates the topologies of the tree support, while the PSO optimizes the position of nodes and the diameter of tree branches. In particular, each chromosome is encoded as a single virtual tree for GP to make it easy to manipulate Crossover and Mutation. Furthermore, a local strategy of geometric search is designed to help the hybrid algorithm reach a better result.

Findings
Simulation results show that the proposed method is preferred over the existing method: it saves the materials of the two-level support up to 26.34%, the materials of the Level 1 support up to 6.62% and the materials of the Level 2 support up to 37.93%. The proposed local strategy of geometric search can further improve the hybrid algorithm, saving up to 17.88% of Level 2 support materials.

Research limitations/implications
The proposed approach for sliming Level 1 support requires the overhanging region to be a rectilinear polygon and the path direction in a subregion to be vertical or horizontal. This limitation limits the further material savings of the Level 1 support. In future research, the proposed approach can be extended to handle an arbitrary overhang region, each with several choices of path directions.

Practical implications
The details of how to integrate the proposed algorithm into the open-source program CuraEngine 4.13.0 is presented. This is helpful for the designers and manufacturers to practice on their own 3D printers.

Originality/value
The path planning of the overhang is a critical factor influencing the distribution of supporting points and will thus influence the shape of the support structure. Different from existing approaches that use single path directions, the proposed method optimizes the volume of the support structure by planning hybrid paths of the overhangs.
Hybrid direct ink write 3D printing of high-performance composite structures
Authors: Gonzalez Juan Esteban Aponte , Wright William Jordan , Gustinvil Raden , Celik Emrah 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Direct ink writing (DIW) is a robust additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of fiber-reinforced thermoset composites. However, this technique is currently limited to low design complexity and minimal heights. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of UV-assisted DIW of composites to enhance the green-part strength of the printed inks and resolve the complexity and the height limitations of DIW technology.

Design/methodology/approach
The experimental approach involved the preparation of the thermoset inks that are composed of nanoclay, epoxy, photopolymer and glass fiber reinforcement. Composite specimens were fabricated in complex geometries from these ink feedstocks using UV-assisted, hybrid 3D-printing technology. Fabricated specimens were characterized using optical microscopy, three-point bending mechanical tests and numerical simulations.

Findings
The introduced hybrid, UV-assisted 3D-printing technology allowed the fabrication of tall and overhanging thermoset composite structures up to 30% glass fiber reinforcement without sagging during or after printing. Glass fiber reinforcement tremendously enhanced the mechanical performance of the composites. UV-curable resin addition led to a reduction in strength (approximately 15%) compared to composites fabricated without UV resin. However, this reduction can be eliminated by increasing the glass fiber content within the hybrid thermoset composite. Numerical simulations indicate that the fiber orientation significantly affects the mechanical performance of the printed composites.

Originality/value
This study showed that the fabrication of high-performing thermoset composites in complex geometries was possible via hybrid DIW technology. This new technology will tremendously expand the application envelope of the additively manufactured thermoset composites and the fabrication of large composite structures with high mechanical performance and dimensional freedom will benefit various engineering fields including the fields of aerospace, automotive and marine engineering.
Intergroup contact reduces affective polarization but not among strong party identifiers
Authors: Thomsen Jens Peter Frølund , Thomsen Anna Håland 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPrevious studies have assumed that the relationship between intergroup contact and affective polarization is uniform across political predispositions. We argue instead that party identification serves as a boundary condition for the intergroup contact‒affective polarization relationship. Our findings suggest that: (1) intergroup contact between “in‐party” and “out‐party” supporters reduces affective polarization among nonidentifiers, weak, and moderate party identifiers, and (2) intergroup contact remains unrelated to affective polarization among strong party identifiers. These findings apply to high‐ and low‐quality contact measures alike, meaning that party identification strength is an essential boundary condition capable of obstructing the impact of contact on affective polarization. Analyses were performed on a new sample among Danish citizens. The survey was fielded in 2021 (n = 3638). The findings contribute to both intergroup contact research and to the study of the sources of affective polarization. In terms of broader implications, our study suggests that aside from true partisans, intergroup contact stimulates democratic behavior.
Health beyond medicine. A planetary theory extension
Authors: Roth Steffen , Valentinov Vladislav 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn Niklas Luhmann’s vision of the modern functionally differentiated society, health presents one of the essential function systems, along with politics, law, economy and science. While he devoted much effort to elaborating the theoretical foundations of the latter function systems, his work on the health system was relatively sparse. This research gap has been rendered particularly acute by the recent COVID‐19 crisis. In reconstructing and updating the Luhmannian analysis of this system, this article presents a three‐dimensional concept of organic, psychic and social health and highlights the risks raised by a potential overexpansion of the health concept to the planetary level. The most important of these risks is shown to be the potential rise of totalitarian social control that exceeds classical forms of medical social control. The proposed argument not only contributes to the public criticism of the political responses to the COVID‐19 crisis but also fills in some missing pieces of Luhmann’s seminal elaboration of the health system.
Major powers make the call? Review of 70 years engagement of major powers with Myanmar
Authors: Liu Peng , Miao He , Huan Wang 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIt is commonly assumed that smaller powers are prone to getting trapped and lost in the game of contrasting powers; however, the story of six major powers and their relations with Myanmar over the past 70 years has shown that the smaller party does not always take a passive, victimised position in these relations but can achieve an active, relatively independent position. Myanmar accomplished this position by shielding itself from sanctions from the United States, UK, and Japan using China's assistance; implementing selective trade and investment; and diversifying its weapon suppliers, including Russia and other players in the arms market. In this paper, the data on 70 years of arms transfer are analysed to exemplify the defence policy of Myanmar towards major powers, the bilateral trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) data are used for economic policy, and the three indicators provide a simplified but concise picture of Myanmar's long‐term relations with world major powers. Myanmar is a relatively small power in the global landscape of larger powers, but it has maintained its independence in policy making and has made full use of the competition for power among major powers for its own benefit. Thus, it is not the big fish but the small one that has helped shape Myanmar's relations with major powers.
Anatomical study of the cardiac conduction system in swine hearts

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe cardiac conduction system (CCS) is crucial for regulating heartbeats; therefore, clinicians and comedicals involved in cardiovascular medicine treatment must have a thorough understanding of the CCS structure and function. However, anatomical education of the CCS based on actual dissection and observation is uncommon, although such educational methodology promotes three‐dimensional structural understanding of the observed object. Based on previous studies, we examined the CCS structure in the heart of a swine (pig, Sus scrofa domestica) which has been used in the biological, medical and anatomical curricula as science teaching materials, by using macroscopic dissection procedures. Most CCS structures in a young pig heart were successfully identified and illustrated on a macroscopic scale. The atrioventricular bundle (His bundle) was located on the lower edge of the membranous interventricular septum and was clearly distinguished from the general myocardial fibres by its colour and fibre arrangement direction. Following the atrioventricular bundle towards the atrium or ventricle with properly removing the endocardium and myocardium, the atrioventricular node or the right and left bundles appeared respectively. In contrast, the sinoatrial node was not identified. The anatomy of the CCS in young pig hearts was essentially similar to that previously reported in humans and several domestic animals. Our findings of the CCS in young pig hearts are expected to be useful for medical and anatomical education for medical and comedical students, young clinicians and comedical workers.

SummaryGenicular nerves block is a promising technique to treat acute postoperative pain in total knee arthroplasty. Similar to surgeon‐administered local infiltration analgesia, it targets sensory branches from the knee capsule, but through a selective ultrasound‐guided injection that reduces local anaesthetic dose (150 ml ropivacaine 0.2% with local infiltration analgesia vs. 20 ml with genicular nerves block). This randomised non‐inferiority trial compared the analgesic efficacy of genicular nerves block vs. local infiltration analgesia in the first 24 h following total knee arthroplasty. Sixty patients were randomly allocated to receive either ultrasound‐guided block of five genicular nerves or local infiltration analgesia. The primary outcome was rest pain numeric rating scale (0–10) at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included pain numeric rating scale (rest and movement) and cumulative opioid consumption during the first 24 h. We analysed 29 patients in the genicular nerves block group and 30 in the local infiltration analgesia group. We found that the median difference (95%CI) in postoperative rest pain at 24 h (non‐inferiority criteria, Δ = 1) was −1.0 (−2.0 to 1.0, p < 0.001). Median difference in cumulative opioid consumption was 0.0 mg (−3.0–5.0, p < 0.001) meeting the non‐inferiority criteria, Δ = 23 mg. We conclude that genicular nerves block of five nerves provides non‐inferior analgesia in the first 24 h following surgery compared with local infiltration analgesia, but with a considerable reduction in the local anaesthetic dose.
Social distancing‐induced deceleration can enhance subjective well‐being
Authors: Schad Daniel J. , Rabovsky Milena 
Published: November 2022

AbstractModern societies provide an abundance of opportunities, which could lead to acceleration and time poverty, thereby paradoxically limiting well‐being. This study examines this issue using social distancing measures introduced during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We analyzed a data set of over four million responses, collected by the German online newspaper “ZEIT ONLINE,” where people responded to the question “How are you today?” with “good” or “bad,” assessing subjective well‐being, and an optional self‐descriptive adjective of mood. The results showed that subjective well‐being significantly increased with the onset of social distancing regulations. This increase was closely accompanied by a rise in adjectives associated with deceleration, the daily usage of which best predicted daily well‐being during COVID‐19. Factor analysis showed that Factor 1 best predicted daily well‐being and was effectively described by adjectives associated with deceleration. An analysis of potential mechanisms of deceleration during the pandemic revealed lower stress levels during workdays and weekends, as well as better sleep. These findings provide large‐scale support to theories suggesting that acceleration and time poverty in modern societies may impair well‐being.
Review article: the role of HSD17B13 on global epidemiology, natural history, pathogenesis and treatment of NAFLD
Authors: Amangurbanova Maral , Huang Daniel Q. , Loomba Rohit 
Published: November 2022

SummaryBackgroundNon‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs in around a quarter of the global population and is one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease. The phenotypic manifestation and the severity of NAFLD are influenced by an interplay of environmental and genetic factors. Recently, several inactivating variants in the novel 17‐Beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) gene have been found to be associated with a reduced risk of chronic liver diseases, including NAFLD.AimsTo review the existing literature on the epidemiology of HSD17B13 and discuss its role in the natural history, disease pathogenesis and treatment of NAFLD.MethodsWe extensively searched relevant literature in PubMed, Google Scholar, clinicaltrials.gov and the reference list of articles included in the review.ResultsHSD17B13 is a liver‐specific, lipid droplet (LD)‐associated protein that has enzymatic pathways involving steroids, pro‐inflammatory lipid mediators and retinol. The estimated prevalence of the best characterised HSD17B13 variant (rs72613567) ranges from 5% in Africa to 34% in East Asia. Loss‐of‐function variants in HSD17B13 are protective against the progression of NAFLD from simple steatosis to non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Emerging data from mechanistic and preclinical studies with RNA interference (RNAi) and small molecule agents indicate that inhibiting HSD17B13 activity may prevent NAFLD progression.ConclusionsThe loss‐of‐function polymorphisms of the newly identified HSD17B13 gene mitigate the progression of NAFLD. It is important to understand the exact mechanism by which these variants exert a protective effect and implement the gathered knowledge in the treatment of NAFLD.
Prospecting digital urban futures in practice
Authors: Yeo Si Jie Ivin 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper engages with digital urban futures prospectively, departing from most existing geographical work that has tended to explore the future retrospectively. I do so by first discussing a methodology that is sensitive to the meanings and significations of the future as well as future‐making as an active process, or as ‘practised’. I argue that such an orientation is necessary to challenge the established view of the future as an endpoint or as a priori in social and cultural geography and, correspondingly, invite a more processual and emergent understanding of the future as multiple, never complete and always becoming. Using the example of Singapore's Smart Nation initiative, I then show how this methodological approach can be employed to study the way urban dwellers encounter, engage and evaluate possible futures in their everyday spaces and lives. Focusing on futures prospectively is significant insofar as it directs attention to their relationality and open‐endedness, which, in turn, provides the latitude to consider and construct different forms of futures. Beyond the methodological contribution, this paper offers an epistemological intervention that not only unpicks how knowledge about the future is currently produced in the literature but also multiplies our ways of studying futurity and future‐making.
