Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Review of Current Curative Intent Therapies

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounting for 10–20% of cases. Historically, fewer treatment options have existed for this subtype of breast cancer, with cytotoxic chemotherapy playing a predominant role. This article aims to review the current treatment paradigm for curative-intent TNBC, while also reviewing potential future developments in this landscape. In addition to chemotherapy, recent advances in the understanding of the molecular biology of TNBC have led to promising new studies of targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies in the curative-intent setting. The appropriate selection of TNBC patient subgroups with a higher likelihood of benefit from treatment is critical to identify the best treatment approach.
COVID-19 Burnout Subject to the Dynamic Zero-COVID Policy in Hong Kong: Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the COVID-19 Burnout Frequency Scale

We sought to develop and validate a self-assessment burnout scale of the Chinese general population during the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of a dynamic zero-COVID policy. Factors relevant to individuals’ burnout during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic were identified in the literature and through the reviews of an expert panel. A convenience sample of 1087 was randomly divided into two subsamples and the scale’s psychometric properties were assessed. Findings suggested that the COVID-19 BFS has adequate reliability (α = 0.90) along with factorial, concurrent, and convergent validity. Results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the one-factor structure of the scale. Concurrent validity results indicate a significant positive correlation between COVID-19 BFS and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (r = 0.131, p < 0.001), suggesting that individuals with higher levels of burnout may also have higher levels of fear of COVID, or vice versa. The scale was also correlated positively with being against the dynamic zero-COVID strategy (r = 0.340, p < 0.001), indicating that a higher level of burnout may be associated with individuals who are against the dynamic zero-COVID strategy. The results suggest the five-item COVID-19 BFS is a valid and reliable scale for the measurement of burnout frequency of the Chinese general population in relation to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic in a dynamic zero-COVID policy context.
Shame-proneness mediates relations between borderline personality disorder symptom severity and domains of sexuality in undergraduate women

Abstract:Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by instability in affect, interpersonal relationships, and impulsivity (APA, 2013); individuals with BPD have elevated shame-proneness (Scheel et al., 2013), including higher baseline levels of (Scheel et al., 2013), and greater reactivity to, shame (Gratz et al., 2010). Shame, an aversive self-conscious emotional state wherein one experiences the self as both flawed and unacceptable (VanDerhei et al., 2014), has putative links to both self-destructive and self-protective domains of sexuality; namely, sexual self-esteem (Heinrichs et al., 2009) and sexual risk-taking (Overstreet, 2012). The current research investigated (1) relations between elevated BPD symptom severity and sexuality, and (2) whether shame-proneness could mediate relations between BPD symptom severity and sexuality domains in an undergraduate sample. Participants included 167 women undergraduate psychology students (M age= 20.42, SD = 4.82) who completed measures of BPD symptom severity, shame-proneness, sexual self-esteem, and safe sex behaviour. Shame-proneness partially mediated relations between BPD symptom severity and both sexual self-esteem (6.79% variance) and sexual risk-taking (2.82% variance). Potential implications include understanding how proneness to shame may enhance likelihood of sexual risk-taking behaviour and/or low sexual self-esteem, and whether shame-targeted interventions could mitigate the ramifications of shame on these domains of sexuality in individuals with higher BPD symptom severity.
A Study on the Impact of Emotional Dysregulation on In-role Behavior among Service Company Employees

The development of society and the improvement of people's living standards have placed higher demands on services. Emotional dysregulation has a certain impact on employees' physical and mental well-being, and also affects the quality of service. This study examines the impact of emotion dysregulation on employees' in-role behavior in service companies through a questionnaire survey, starting from the dimensions of emotion dysregulation. The results of the study show that employees' work engagement positively affects employees' in-role behavior in service companies, and that emotional dysregulation does not necessarily negatively affect employees' in-role behavior. Based on the analysis of the causes, it is suggested that business managers still need to pay attention to employees' emotions, as emotions can help us understand how annoying and exhilarating events in the workplace affect employees' performance and satisfaction.
Asymmetric Digital Dual-Edge Modulator for Dynamic Performance Improvement of Multiloop-Controlled VSI

This article proposes the architecture and a graphical-based analysis for a digital asymmetric dual edge (ADE) carrier-based pulsewidth modulator. In its digital version, it retains some advantages offered by the analog implementation. Indeed, in single-sampling operation, the phase delay introduced by this modulator is always less than or equal to the one obtained with the trailing-triangle edge (TTE) carrier. Moreover, by combining the advantages given by the ADE carrier and the double sampling of the modulating signal, it is possible to realize a digital modulator with a null phase delay. Since the proposed ADE-carrier-based digital pulsewidth modulator (DPWM) operates at a variable switching frequency, synchronization strategies between the carrier and the sampling instants may be required for some applications. Reliable synchronism correction architectures are, therefore, proposed and discussed. The developed model is validated through simulation and experimentally on a 27.5-kHz 9-kW single-phase voltage-source inverter case study. The experimental tests include a comparison with the DPWM architecture based on the TTE carrier.
Spatiotemporal Variability in Water-Use Efficiency in Tianshan Mountains (Xinjiang, China) and the Influencing Factors

Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a crucial physiological index in carbon–water interactions and is defined as the ratio of vegetation productivity to water loss. The variation in climatic variables and drought have the most significant effects on WUE and evapotranspiration (ET). Nevertheless, how WUE varies with climate factors and drought processes in the Tianshan Mountains (TMS) is still poorly understood. In the present work, we analyzed the spatiotemporal variations in WUE, and investigated the correlations between WUE, climate factors, and drought, in the study area. The results showed that, in the TMS during 2000–2020, annual net primary productivity (NPP) ranged from 147.9 to 189.4 gC·m−2, annual ET was in the range of 212.5–285.8 mm, and annual WUE ranged from 0.66 to 0.78 gC·kg−1·H2O. Both NPP and ET exhibited an increasing trend with some fluctuation, whereas WUE showed the opposite tendency during the study period. The obtained results demonstrated that the decrease in WUE was primarily because of the increase in ET. There were obvious differences in WUE, under different land-use types, caused by NPP and ET. However, the interannual variation in WUE showed small fluctuations and the dynamic process of WUE in each land-use type showed good consistency. Temperature and wind speed had a positive influence on WUE in the middle and eastern regions of the TMS. Precipitation also played a mainly positive role in enhancing WUE, especially on the northern slope of the TMS. There was strong spatial heterogeneity of the correlation coefficient (0.68, p < 0.05) between WUE and the temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI). Moreover, the slopes of WUE and TVDI showed good consistency in terms of spatial distribution, suggesting that drought had a significant impact on ecosystem WUE. This work will enhance the understanding of WUE variation, and provide scientific evidence for water resource management and sustainable utilization in the study area.
Spatial extrapolation of stream thermal peaks using heterogeneous time series at a national scale

Abstract. Spatial reconstruction of stream temperature is relevant to water quality standards and fisheries management, yet large, regional scale datasets are rare because data are decentralized and inharmonious. This data discordance is a major limitation for understanding thermal regimes of riverine ecosystems. To overcome this barrier, we first aggregated one of the largest stream temperature databases on record with data from 1700 individual stations over 9 years from 2009–2017 (n = 45 000 000 hourly measurements) across France (area = 552 000 km2). For each station, we calculated a simple, ecologically relevant metric – the thermal peak – that captures the magnitude of summer thermal maximums. We then used three statistical models to extrapolate the thermal peak to nearly every stream reach in France and Corsica (n = 105 800) and compared relative model performances with an air temperature metric. In general, the hottest thermal peaks were found along major rivers, whereas the coldest thermal peaks were found along small rivers with forested riparian zones and strong groundwater inputs and were located in mountainous regions. Several key predictors of the thermal peak emerged, including drainage area, mean summer air temperature, minimum monthly specific discharge, and vegetation cover in the riparian zone. Despite differing predictor importance across model structures, we observed strong concordance among models in their spatial distributions of the thermal peak, suggesting its robustness as a useful metric at the regional scale. Finally, air temperature was found to be a poor proxy for the stream temperature thermal peak across nearly all stations and reaches, highlighting the growing need to measure and account for stream temperature in regional ecological studies.
“Leisure Life Satisfaction:” Will It Have a Beneficial Impact on Depression Among Older Adults in Community Care Settings in Korea?

Objectives While the risk of depression is expected to substantially increase among older adults receiving community care, leisure life satisfaction can be regarded as a key component in enhancing the mental health of those receiving community care. However, it is not yet known whether community care utilization increases the risk of depression, or what role is played by leisure life satisfaction in these settings. This study investigated the relationship between community care utilization and depression, as well as the main effect and the moderating role of leisure life satisfaction on the link between community care utilization and depression among older adults. Methods This study, using the 2019 Korean Welfare Panel Survey, conducted multiple regression analysis on data from 4494 elderly people aged 65 years or older. Results After controlling for potential covariates, older community care recipients were more likely to report symptoms of depression than those who did not receive community care. Meanwhile, leisure life satisfaction was negatively associated with depression in older adults. The test for interaction between community care utilization and leisure life satisfaction revealed that leisure life satisfaction significantly attenuated the link between depression and community care utilization. Conclusions The findings of this study imply that leisure life satisfaction could play a meaningful role in improving the mental health of older adults receiving community care. Welfare policies affecting older adults should consider leisure life satisfaction as an important resource for reducing depression in community care settings.
Phenotypic but no genetic adaptation in zooplankton 24 years after an abrupt +10°C climate change

The climate is currently warming fast, threatening biodiversity all over the globe. Populations often adapt rapidly to environmental change, but for climate warming very little evidence is available. Here, we investigate the pattern of adaptation to an extreme +10°C climate change in the wild, following the introduction of brine shrimp Artemia franciscana from San Francisco Bay, USA, to Vinh Chau saltern in Vietnam. We use a resurrection ecology approach, hatching diapause eggs from the ancestral population and the introduced population after 13 and 24 years (∼54 and ∼100 generations, respectively). In a series of coordinated experiments, we determined whether the introduced Artemia show increased tolerance to higher temperatures, and the extent to which genetic adaptation, developmental plasticity, transgenerational effects, and local microbiome differences contributed to this tolerance. We find that introduced brine shrimp do show increased phenotypic tolerance to warming. Yet strikingly, these changes do not have a detectable additive genetic component, are not caused by mitochondrial genetic variation, and do not seem to be caused by epigenetic marks set by adult parents exposed to warming. Further, we do not find any developmental plasticity that would help cope with warming, nor any protective effect of heat‐tolerant local microbiota. The evolved thermal tolerance might therefore be entirely due to transgenerational (great)grandparental effects, possibly epigenetic marks set by parents who were exposed to high temperatures as juveniles. This study is a striking example of “missing heritability,” where a large adaptive phenotypic change is not accompanied by additive genetic effects.
Node Scheduling for AF-Based Over-the-Air Computation

Over-the-air computation is a promising technique for efficiently aggregating data in sensor networks. This method requires that signals from all nodes arrive at the sink aligned in signal magnitude, which faces the reliability issue, especially in times of channel fading. To solve this problem, in this letter, we propose an amplify-and-forward based relay, Coherent Relay with Node Scheduling (CohR-NS), where a relay node is used to help forward signals of multiple nodes. Relay transmission power (TP) increases with the number of nodes using the relay, which is a bottleneck. We investigate how relay TP changes with relay position, and under the constraint of relay TP, study (i) how to select nodes to use relay when not all nodes requiring a relay can be supported simultaneously, (ii) how to select more nodes to use relay so as to reduce node TP, when there is a surplus in relay TP. We formulate this as an ILP (integer linear programming) problem, propose an efficient heuristic method, and confirm its effectiveness by simulation evaluation.
Roadmap on Atto-Joule per Bit Modulators

Electrooptic modulation performs the conversion between the electrical and optical domain with applications in data communication for optical interconnects, but also for novel optical compute algorithms such as providing nonlinearity at the output stage of optical perceptrons in neuromorphic analogue optical computing. Since the clock frequency for photonics on chip has a power overhead sweet slot around 10s of GHz, ultrafast modulation may only be required in long distance communication, but not for short onchip links. Here we show a roadmap towards atto Joule per bit efficient modulators on chip as well as some experimental demonstrations of novel plasmon modulators with sub 1fJ per bit efficiencies. We then discuss the first experimental demonstration of a photon plasmon-hybrid Graphene-based electroabsorption modulator on silicon. The device shows a sub 1V steep switching enabled by near ideal electrostatics delivering a high 0.05dB per V um performance requiring only 110 aJ per bit. Improving on this design, we discuss a plasmonic slot based Graphene modulator design, where the polarization of the plasmonic mode matches with Graphenes inplane dimension. Here a push pull dual gating scheme enables 2dB per V um efficient modulation allowing the device to be just 770 nm short for 3dB small signal modulation. This in turn allows for a device-enabled two orders of magnitude improvement of electrical optical co integrated network on chips over electronic only architectures. The latter opens technological opportunities in in cognitive computing, dynamic data-driven applications system, and optical analogue compute engines to include neuromorphic photonic computing.
The Impact of Land Surface Properties on Haboobs and Dust Lofting

Haboobs are dust storms formed by strong surface winds in convective storm outflow boundaries, or cold pools, which can loft large quantities of mineral dust as they propagate. Both cold pools and the dust they loft are impacted by land surface properties resulting in complex surface interactions on haboobs. As a result of these additional complexities brought about by surface interactions, it is unclear which surface parameters and physical processes are important for predicting haboob intensity and dust concentrations. Here we applied the Morris-one-at-a-time (MOAT) global sensitivity statistical method to an ensemble of 120 idealized simulations of daytime and nighttime haboobs to investigate the land surface properties that affect both dust mobilization and cold pool dynamics. MOAT identifies and ranks the importance of different input factors, which for the prediction of haboob strength and dust concentrations are: (1) initial cold pool temperature, (2) surface type (vegetation), (3) soil type (clay content), and (4) soil moisture. The underlying physical mechanisms driving these feedbacks were then analyzed using a traditional one-at-a-time factor analysis. Time of day is significant for determining boundary layer height and dissipation via surface fluxes, leading to shallower, more intense cold pools / haboobs at night. Most of the land parameters modify the cold pool through impacts on surface fluxes, while surface type is dominated by roughness length effects. By ranking the importance of these surface factors, we have identified which variables are most sensitive and must be constrained via observations and data assimilation in numerical dust prediction models.
Incorporation of Fluorescent Fluorinated Methacrylate Nano-Sized Particles into Chitosan Matrix Formed as a Membranes or Beads

Fluorescent particles are of particular interest as probes and active agents for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food applications. Here, we present two strategies for incorporation of core-shell acrylic fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) with Rhodamine B (RhB) as a dye into a chitosan (CS) matrix. We selected two variants of NPsRhB immobilisation in a CS membrane and biopolymeric CS beads. Modification of the method for production of the biopolymer cover/transporter of nanoparticles allowed two series of hydrogels loaded with nanoparticles to be obtained with a similar concentration of the aqueous solution of the nanoparticles. Microscopic analysis showed that the NPs were nonuniformly distributed in millimetre-sized CS beads, as well as membranes, but the fluorescence signal was strong. The composition of CS layers loaded with nanoparticles (CS/NPsRhB) showed water vapour barrier properties, characterised by the contact angle of 71.8°. Finally, we incorporated NPsRhBCS beads into a gelatine matrix to check their stability. The results confirmed good stability of the NPsRhBCS complex system, and no dye leakage was observed from the beads and the membranes. The proposed complex system demonstrated promising potential for further use in bioimaging and, thus, for the development of advanced diagnostic tools.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PAPER-BASED MICROFLUIDIC (µPAD) MINIATURIZATION

In recent years, paper-based analytical devices gained more attention for development of low-cost point-of-care diagnostic tools in many fields, such as environmental testing, point of care diagnosis, and food analysis. In the present study, we introduce a new paper substrate (Xuan paper) and compare to commercial filter paper (whatman) with hydrophobic materials called polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The xuan paper can be used for paper-based microfluidics analytical devices (μPAD) and that flow rate is reliant on many factors affecting fluid flow inside the channels. The screen-printing method was used to concocted hydrophobic channels by patterning hydrophobic materials onto paper substrate with the patterned channels reaching a minimum width of 0.2 mm and maximum 5 mm. The fabricated channels were tested by using water with different paper types and different channel widths. The experimental results were compared with commercially available filter paper (11 and 21 µm pore size). The results of this study are raw xuan paper (0.15 mm of thickness) is similar trend with filter paper (0.21 mm of thickness) about 43 mm distance in 140 second and it is higher than three other papers. However, jinghe paper (0.13 mm of thickness) and cotton xuan paper (0.10 mm of thickness) shows the distance of water about 10 mm and 4 mm, respectively in 140 second because of their fiber orientation and water being absorbed by it. Therefore, xuan paper was a good candidate in applied for µPAD application.
Civic Education and Internal Political Efficacy of Students in Oluyole Local Government, Oyo State

Internal political efficacy is one of the causal factors for political participation. Nigeria, with low political engagement, on many occasions has developed several approaches aimed at promoting internal political efficacy, which includes the introduction of Civic Education into primary and secondary school curriculum. This is designed to instil political knowledge that enhances the internal political efficacy of the students for future participation in the political process. The study is thus an attempt to ascertain the possibility of improved internal political efficacy of the students through the study of Civic Education in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State using descriptive survey research design. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to two hundred and eighty-two (282) students drawn from ten secondary schools in the local government. The result reveals that the study of Civic Education in school promotes political knowledge and internal political efficacy of the students.
