Effects of dual-phase deformation behaviors on simultaneously enhanced tensile properties and stress corrosion resistance of 2Cr13 martensitic stainless steel treated by laser shock peening

Effects of changes in martensite and carbide induced by laser shock peening (LSP) on tensile properties and stress corrosion behaviors of 2Cr13 martensitic stainless steel (MSS) were investigated. Results indicated that LSP not only caused plastic deformation of the martensite and carbide but also brittle deformation of carbide. Based on fine/coarse grain heterostructure, carbide plastic and brittle deformation, carbide local decomposition, compressive residual stress and grain coarsening caused by tensile stress, 14.7 % and 44.5 % increase in the strength and ductility in NaCl solution are respectively achieved for MSS with a surface where the formation of corrosion pits is significantly suppressed.

The effect of organizational uprightness behaviors on organizational brilliance through the mediation of pioneer vigilance: analytical research of the opinions of a sample of administrators at the national retirement authority - Baghdad

The study aimed to determine the effect of Organizational Uprightness Behaviors with its dimensions (empathy, trust, integrity, optimism) in Organizational Brilliance with its dimensions (leadership Brilliance, service Brilliance, creativity, knowledge Brilliance) by mediating the Pioneer Vigilance with its dimensions (survey and research, cooperation and communication, evaluation, and judgment) in the National Retirement Authority in Baghdad. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted for the purpose of the study in the research community, by distributing a questionnaire to a random sample of (169) individuals suitable for analysis from the total community of (328) individuals, represented by a group of employees in the Authority, by adopting the questionnaire as a primary tool in collecting data Statistical programs were used to analyze the data, including (Smart Pls 4, SPSS, v.28, AOMS, and V26). The research attempted to answer several questions that express the research problem, the most important of which was: Is there an impact of organizational uprightness behaviors in achieving organizational Brilliance mediated by pioneer vigilance? The importance of applying the research in the Iraqi National Retirement Authority lies in the fact that it is one of the critical organizations that target a broad segment of Iraqi society who have spent their youth-serving the country and who deserve to find the best ways to serve them and complete their transactions with all respect and appreciation, and facilitate procedures as quickly as possible. The validity of the hypotheses that stated the existence of a significant and statistical effect of organizational uprightness behaviors on organizational Brilliance was proven, and pioneer vigilance has a clear role in enhancing the size of this effect through partial mediation. The results indicate that the number and quality of publications in Organizational Uprightness Behaviors, Pioneer Vigilance, Organizational Brilliance contribute deeply to enriching and rooting this trend, in addition to the need to encourage platforms and climates for research and authorship in this vital and relevant field.

Sustainability of lending diversification of sub-Saharan African low-income countries

The momentum in sub-Saharan low-income countries is leading to diversifying their funding sources to cover large infrastructure expenditures. This situation meets the expectations of international investors who are still willing to explore new opportunities. Recent access to the Eurobond market by these new players has resulted in the growing substitution of traditional concessional loans by market ones in countries with low-debt portfolios. Thus, a new sustainability approach is required to include risk premiums and potentially versatile investor behaviors. First, we use a theoretical model to show that in a context of low international interest rates, debtor countries can continue to stabilize their level of debt either through budget deficit, if it remains below a given sustainability threshold, or through budget surplus in a downturn context (high-interest rates and spreads). Second, the versatile behavior of investors could be challenging. Third, global liquidity greatly influences the debt dynamics of SSA countries so it matters more for bond spreads than domestic factors. As our empirical study shows that the current debt situation of sub-Saharan African low-income countries increasingly involved in the Eurobond market remains under control. To avoid the worst-case scenario, strong institutions should be a priority, along with appropriate management tools and methods of debt monitoring to cope with all potential vulnerability caused by undesirable side effects of such unstable behaviors.

Sleep patterns, physical activity, genetic susceptibility, and incident rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective cohort study

BackgroundSleep and physical activity (PA) are thought to be interconnected with the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the precise nature and extent of these relationships have yet to be fully quantified. This study aimed to quantify the longitudinal effects of sleep behaviors, PA, and genetic susceptibility on the incidence of RA and to estimate the combined effects and interactions among these exposures.MethodsA total of 363,211 adults were derived from a large European cohort. We incorporated five sleep behaviors (sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, chronotype, and daytime sleepiness) to generate sleep patterns, which were defined based on healthy sleep scores. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to assess the individual and combined associations of sleep patterns, PA, and genetic susceptibility with the risk of RA occurrence. Multiplicative and additive interactions were estimated by Pinteraction and relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) between each of the two exposures.ResultsDuring a follow-up of 12.5 years, 4262 RA cases were ascertained. A healthy sleep pattern was associated with a decreased risk of RA in a dose-response manner, with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.75–0.84), independent of traditional risk factors and genetic predisposition. Under the restricted cubic splines model, a non-linear association was detected for PA and RA risk. Participants in the intermediate quintile 3 showed the lowest risk for developing RA, with a HR 95% CI of 0.84 (0.76–0.92). Moreover, there was an additive interaction effect of intermediate sleep pattern and PA, with a 0.45 (95% CI = 0.02–0.87) RERI of developing RA. Additionally, individuals at high genetic risk had the greatest 10-year absolute risk reduction (10.58 per 1000 person-years) when adopting both favorable behaviors.ConclusionsA healthy sleep pattern and moderate PA were associated with a reduced risk of developing RA, which can offset the deleterious effects of predisposing genetic components. Implementing these modifiable lifestyle factors into public health practices is beneficial for RA prevention.

The influence of deans’ transactional leadership behaviors on research productivity in public universities: The mediating effect of workplace learning capability

This study examined the effect of transactional leadership behaviors on research productivity in public universities, with organizational learning capability serving as a mediating factor. A quantitative research approach focusing on correlational design was utilized. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire administered to 519 respondents. Both measurement and structural model analyses were conducted, with deans, colleges, and individual academics serving as units of analysis. The findings revealed that deans’ contingent reward leadership behaviors significantly and positively influenced the research productivity of academics and colleges, even when controlling for workplace learning capability. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that deans’ contingent rewards and active-by-exception behaviors significantly and positively impacted workplace learning capability, accounting for 44.5% of the variance, with moderate and small effect sizes, respectively. Additionally, organizational learning capability exhibited a significant positive effect, explaining 54% of the variance in research productivity and demonstrating a moderate effect size, which indicates an unexplained variance of 46%. Bootstrapping tests confirmed that workplace learning capability partially and fully mediates the relationship between deans’ transactional leadership behaviors and research productivity. Consequently, it is imperative for college deans to enhance their contingent reward leadership behaviors and foster workplace learning capabilities to maximize their impact on research productivity.

Sedative and behavioral effects of atomized intranasal midazolam in comparison with nebulized midazolam for children undergoing dental treatment: A randomized clinical trial.

Fear and anxiet are significant barriers of dental care in children. Sedation emerged as a valuable behaviour guidance technique to manage uncooperative children. To evaluate the sedative and behavioral effectiveness of midazolam administered via nebulizer in comparison with intranasal atomizer in the behavior management of anxious children during dental treatment. Two-arm randomized clinical trial with 68 children (3-5 years) assigned to receive nebulized midazolam (NEB MDZ) and atomized intranasal midazolam (AIN MDZ) during dental treatment. The onset time, sedation levels, and behavior of children were documented. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U tests. Significant differences between the two groups in terms of onset time, sedation level, and behavior of children during the dental treatment. AIN MDZ was associated with a significantly faster onset time compared with NEB MD, (p < .001). Children who received NEB MDZ exhibited deeper levels of sedation compared with AIN MDZ group (p = .02). During the administration of local anesthesia, notable statistical differences were observed between the behavior of the two groups (p = .02). Midazolam administered via either nebulizer or intranasal atomizer was the effective route of administration and proved effective in the management of anxious children undergoing dental treatment. AIN MDZ, however, exhibited a faster onset time, whereas children receiving NEB MDZ demonstrated superior behavior compared with those receiving AIN MDZ.

To lead or not to lead? A cultural examination of leadership in independent hotels

PurposeThis study explores the impact of ethical and authentic leadership on employees' workplace perceptions, focusing on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), trust in leader, commitment, employee voice and empowerment in independent hotels across two contrasting Global Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Effectiveness (GLOBE) clusters: Germanic and Middle-Eastern clusters. It examines how national culture influences these relationships in the hospitality industry.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 1,678 employees in independent hotels in the Germanic European cluster (Germany and the Netherlands) and the Middle-Eastern cluster (Qatar and Turkey) using selective and snowball sampling techniques. Hypotheses were tested using two-stage structural equation modelling.FindingsEthical leadership significantly affects employee voice in Germany and the Netherlands but not in Qatar and Turkey. Authentic leadership positively influences employee voice in Qatar, Turkey and Germany but does not significantly impact trust in leader in any of the four countries. The study underscores the role of cultural dimensions, particularly power distance, in shaping these relationships.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the literature by investigating the effects of ethical and authentic leadership on key organisational variables in culturally diverse contexts within the hospitality industry. The findings highlight the necessity of considering national culture in leadership practices and suggest practical implications for independent hotels to adapt their leadership approaches to enhance employee outcomes. Future research should explore cultural dimensions as moderators in organisational relationships.

A modified bond-based peridynamic approach for rigid projectile perforation on concrete slabs

Peridynamic (PD) has a unique advantage in describing the crack growth and fragmentation of brittle materials. Concerning the dynamic behaviors and failure patterns of concrete slabs under projectile perforations, a modified bond-based PD approach maintaining both the easy implementation and computational stability characteristics was firstly developed from the following three aspects, (i) a rate-dependent PD constitutive model was proposed for describing the dynamic behaviors of concrete; (ii) a progressive damage criterion considering the tension-compression anisotropy, softening behavior, and strain rate effect of concrete was incorporated to more accurately reproduce the damage and failure of concrete; (iii) an improved micro-modulus function related to bond length was introduced to reveal the internal length effect of bond force. Then, numerical simulations of projectile perforation on concrete slabs by utilizing the developed modified bond-based PD approach, as well as the corresponding sensitivity analyses of discretization parameters including horizon size and particle spacing were performed. Based on the recommended horizon size and particle spacing, the predicted residual velocity of projectile and failure patterns of concrete slabs exhibited an excellent agreement with the test data. Furthermore, by comparisons of the traditional bond-based PD and classical finite element methods, the superiority of developed approach in describing the perforation damage of concrete targets against projectile impact was demonstrated. Finally, the modified bond-based PD approach was employed to blind simulate the projectile normal and oblique perforating multi-layered spaced concrete target plates. It was found that the modified PD model reasonably predicted the terminal ballistic trajectory, deflection angle, and residual velocity of projectile, as well as the failure patterns of target plates. The present work provides a new way to predict the terminal ballistic effect of projectile and dynamic behaviors of concrete slabs.

Performance enhancement of NOMA multi-user networks with aerial reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and aerial relay

In this article, we propose a combination of multiple aerial reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (ARISs) with an aerial relay (AR) for improving the performance of multiple users adopting the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme. In particular, two groups of ARIS are utilized, one for aiding ground-to-air (G2A) communication and another one for aiding air-to-ground (A2G) communication. Mathematical formulas of outage probability (OP), throughput, and achievable capacity (AC) of every user in the proposed ARISs-AR-NOMA network are derived over the Nakagami-m channel. The propagation environment recommended for the fifth generation and beyond (5G/B5G) is applied to enhance the practical behavior of the proposed network. To confirm the performance enhancement, we compare the OP, throughput, and AC of the proposed system with the conventional AR-NOMA network (i.e., without ARISs). Numerical illustrations demonstrate the great benefits of the proposed ARISs-AR-NOMA network, its transmit power is dramatically lower than that of the conventional network. Moreover, the throughput and AC of the proposed network are considerably higher than the conventional network’s. Based on the effect of key parameters and network behaviors, various effective solutions are recommended to enhance the performance of the proposed ARISs-AR-NOMA network.

The Association of Substance Use Before Sex and Condomless Sex: The Moderating Effects of Sexual Risk Behaviors, Perceived Sex Approval, and HIV/STI Risk Perception Among Youth

Youth are disproportionately affected by substance use and associated sexual risk behaviors, increasing STI and HIV susceptibility. This study analyzed the interplay between alcohol/drug use before sex (ABS/DBS), perceived sex approval (e.g., perceived familial or peer approval in engaging in sex), and HIV/STI risk perception among youth aged 13–21 ( n = 150). We assessed how these factors influenced condomless vaginal/anal sex (VAS) and oral sex practices. Results showed significant interactions between perceived sex approval and lifetime ABS for lifetime condomless VAS, and between HIV/STI risk perception and lifetime ABS for current condomless oral sex. These findings underline the influence of perceived sex approval and HIV/STI risk perception on youth’s sexual behaviors. Implications for targeted interventions are discussed.

From user to operator: Rationalizing the charging infrastructure deployment. A case study of Berlin

The urge to develop greener transportation necessitates a shift from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Ensuring user acceptance of EVs through adequate charging infrastructure is crucial for this transition. We hypothesize that a user-oriented, time and space-coherent deployment of charging stations can reduce range anxiety and enhance EV adoption. We present a new multi-criteria deployment model and apply it through a MATSim multi-agent simulation to the Berlin region, observing the effects of different user behaviors on the charging infrastructure deployment. Results indicate that slow chargers are more cost-efficient and that residential charging is vital for user acceptance of EVs. The study concludes that a well-planned deployment schedule significantly reduces range anxiety and supports a coherent charging infrastructure helping EV democratization.

Gene[sbnd]environment interaction between phthalate exposure and pubertal genetic polymorphisms on blood pressure variability in children: Exploring the moderating effects of lifestyle behaviours

Phthalates (PAEs) are synthetic compounds extensively employed in consumer products. Blood pressure (BP) in children can vary, the degree of visit-to-visit BP variability (VVV) is at least partially independent of BP. The interactions between PAEs exposure, pubertal-related genetic susceptibility and lifestyles on childhood VVV are not investigated. This study utilized data from a cohort collected from Oct 2017–2020 in Xiamen, China. Seven urine PAE metabolites were measured. The long-term VVV was characterized employing the standard deviation (SD) and average real variability. We constructed a genetic risk score (GRS) of pubertal-related genes and healthy lifestyle scores. Exposed to high levels of mono-2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl phthalate (MEHHP) (OR=1.43, 95 %CI=1.07, 1.92) and mono-2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl phthalate (OR=1.36, 95 % CI=1.01, 1.83) was related to increased SBP-SD, and the OR for high SBP-SD related to high GRS was 1.38 (95 % CI=1.02, 1.85). Compared to participants who had low GRS and low MEHHP exposure, participants exhibiting high GRS and MEHHP levels were more likely to experience high SBP-SD (OR=2.00, P<0.05). Individuals exhibiting low GRS, low MEHHP levels, and adhering to healthy lifestyles were associated with the least probability of experiencing high SBP-SD (OR=0.31, P<0.05). Increased PAEs exposure could elevate childhood systolic VVV, and exacerbated the adverse impact of pubertal-related genetic susceptibility on the high VVV of SBP; however, healthy lifestyles might alleviate these adverse effects. Promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing PAEs exposure for preventing elevated BP variability among children is important, especially for individuals with greater genetic susceptibility to early pubertal onset. Environmental implicationBlood pressure (BP) in children can vary, as a noninvasive, inexpensive and applicable method, the extent of visit-to-visit variability (VVV) is at least partially independent of BP. The interactions between phthalates (PAEs) exposure, variants of puberty-related genes and lifestyles on VVV are not investigated. Increased childhood systolic VVV might be associated with PAEs exposure, with the associations more pronounced combined with pubertal genetic susceptibility. Yet, healthy habits could partly eliminate such adverse effects. Our study underscores the importance of advocating for healthy lifestyles and reducing exposure to PAEs, especially among individuals with high genetic susceptibility to early puberty onset.

The effects of bedroom microclimate regulation behaviors on sleep quality: A field study on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

The environmental regulatory behaviors of humans have a myriad of effects on the microclimate of bedrooms and the quality of sleep. Due to the special geographical climate, proposing non-invasive optimal strategies for environmental regulation is of considerable significance to improve sleep quality among high-altitude residents. However, there is no report on the environmental regulatory behaviors of residents at high-altitudes. Conducted in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 3255m, this study investigated the environmental regulatory behaviors, bedroom microclimate, and sleep quality of 355 local residents over the course of one week, and analyzed the influence of the behaviors on the bedroom environment and sleep quality. Results from 1462 nights of monitoring revealed that residents of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau prefer to sleep with doors or windows open in both winter and summer. Leaving the doors or windows open during summer led to a reduction in sleep time, rapid eye movement sleep and awakening time, which is the most prominent sleep issue at high-altitude, while in winter the percentage of deep sleep decreased with open doors or windows. The habit of humidification displayed a noticeable seasonal bias, with plateau residents being more inclined to adopt humidification measures in winter. Based on the results, this study recommends sleeping with doors or windows open without humidification in summer, while in the winter, humidification is necessary.

Sex Differences in the Risk of Stroke Associated With Traditional and Non-Traditional Factors in a US Cohort of People With HIV Infection.

Although stroke risk associated with HIV may be greater for women than men, little is known about whether the impact of different factors on cerebrovascular risk varies by sex in people with HIV (PWH) and contributes to stroke risk disparities in this population. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether sex modifies the effect of demographics, cardiometabolic factors, health-related behaviors, and HIV-specific variables on stroke risk in PWH from the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort. In this observational cohort study, we analyzed data from clinical encounters for PWH followed at 5 CNICS sites from approximately 2005 to 2020. All potential stroke events were adjudicated by neurologists. Patient-reported outcomes collected at clinic visits, including substance use and depression, were also available. We used Cox proportional hazards models to determine whether sex modified the association of predictors of interest with incident stroke. Among 13,573 PWH (19% female sex at birth, mean age 44 years, mean follow-up 5.6 years), female sex was associated with a higher risk of stroke only among individuals aged 50 years or younger (hazard ratio [HR] 2.01 at age 40 [1.25-3.21] vs HR 0.60 at age 60 [0.34-1.06]; p = 0.001 for the interaction). Younger female participants who developed a stroke were more likely to have treated hypertension, a higher cardiovascular risk score, and detectable HIV than younger male participants whereas these factors were comparable by sex among older participants who developed a stroke. Sex modified the effect of detectable HIV (HR 4.66 for female participants [2.48-8.74] vs HR 1.30 for male participants [0.83-2.03]; p = 0.001 for the interaction), methamphetamine use (HR 4.78 for female participants [1.47-15.56] vs HR 1.19 for male participants [0.62-2.29]; p = 0.04 for the interaction), and treated hypertension (HR 3.44 for female participants [1.74-6.81] vs HR 1.66 for male participants [1.14-2.41]; p = 0.06 for the interaction) on stroke risk. Younger female participants with HIV were at elevated cerebrovascular risk compared with younger male participants. Several risk factors had a greater adverse effect on stroke risk in female participants than in male participants, including HIV viremia, methamphetamine use, and treated hypertension. These findings underscore the importance of a personalized approach to predict and prevent cerebrovascular risk among PWH.

Effect of joint behaviors on the load-carrying capacity of single-layer reticulated dome

The majority of previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of nodal deviation or joint’s strong axis bending stiffness of semi-rigid single-layer reticulated shell, ignoring the effect of other kinds of joint stiffness and its interaction with joint size and nodal deviation. Therefore, the single-layer reticulated dome considering all kinds of joint stiffness and joint size is established initially. Subsequently, a comprehensive investigation is conducted to analyze the effect of all types of joint stiffness of improved bolt-column (IBC) joints, as well as joint size and nodl deviation, on the load-carrying capacity of dome. Finally, the coupling effect among these factors on the mechanical performance of dome is also determined. The main conclusions obtained are presented as follows: (I) the axial stiffness of the IBC joint significantly influences the load-carrying capacity of single-layer reticulated dome, resulting in an average decline ratio of 27 %; however, the other types of joint stiffness have a negligible impact, with an average effect of only 1 %. Moreover, the limit load of the dome considering practical stiffness of IBC joint can achieve the 61 % of that of rigid dome; (II) rigidly joined domes with nodal deviations of S/300, S/600, S/900, S/1200 and S/1500 exhibit decline ratios of 0.57, 0.47, 0.41, 0.37 and 0.34, respectively, in load-carrying capacity compared to perfect domes. Moreover, when considering the coupling effect of joint stiffness, joint size and nodal deviation on the load-carrying capacity of the domes, these nodal deviations affect the capacity by 0.65, 0.57, 0.52, 0.49 and 0.46.

Trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy training effectiveness in promoting professional development of psychotherapists working with unaccompanied minors in Greece: a non-blinded randomized control trial.

The need to develop psychotherapists' skills to respond to current treatment challenges, such as addressing trauma due to the refugee crisis, is increasing. However, there is a dearth of evidencebased training for psychotherapists who work with refugees, especially in frontline countries. A randomly selected sample of 80 clinicians working with unaccompanied minors (UAMs) in Greek accommodation centers nationwide participated in an intensive trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) training (n=44) or a control-group (n=36) and completed the Professional Quality of Life Scale, the Work and Meaning Inventory and a questionnaire to assess knowledge and therapeutic skills, in pre-andpost measurements. Clinicians with 1-3 years of experience with refugees reported higher burnout (p=0.012, M=25.78 vs M=22.04) and secondary traumatic stress than those with less than a year (p=0.014, M=22.03 vs M=18.04). Positive meaning at work increased in both groups at post-test (TF-CBT group: p=0.019, M=15 vs M=13.6, and control group: p<0.001, M=15.17 vs M=13.42). The TF-CBT training group outperformed the control group in knowledge and skills (p=0.021, M=10.15 vs M=8.75) and identified a lower number of children with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms (p=0.009, M=6.94 vs M=4.33) post-training. This study provides preliminary evidence on TF-CBT training effectiveness in equipping psychotherapists to work with UAMs, while their professional quality of life warrants further research.

Selfie-loving mothers and children in China: The relationship between the selfie-related behaviors of mothers and adolescents' cosmetic surgery consideration.

The current study examined the relationship between mothers' selfie-related behaviors and adolescents' cosmetic surgery consideration, as well as the mediating effects of the adolescents' selfie-related behaviors, body surveillance, and facial dissatisfaction. A total of 541 mother-child dyads with adolescents averaging 16.55 years old, was recruited. The path analysis revealed that mothers' selfie-related behaviors were not directly related to adolescents' consideration of cosmetic surgery, but the link was mediated by the adolescents' selfie-related behaviors, body surveillance, and facial dissatisfaction. Specifically, there was a mediating effect of adolescents' facial dissatisfaction, as well as serial mediating effects of adolescents' selfie-related behaviors and facial dissatisfaction, of adolescents' selfie-related behaviors and body surveillance, and of adolescents' selfie-related behaviors, body surveillance and facial dissatisfaction. Additionally, we did not find a significant gender difference in the model. These findings provide further insights into the association between a mother's selfie activities and adolescent children's cosmetic surgery consideration.
