A 0.3-V, −75.8-dBm Temperature-Robust Differential Wake-Up Receiver for WSNs

This article presents a 0.3-V, −75.8-dBm differential wake-up receiver (WuRX) with temperature robustness for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. In this work, an adaptive gate-biased pseudo-differential envelope detector (ED) with temperature compensation is proposed to achieve high conversion gain, wide range of tunability, and temperature robustness at the cost of low power consumption. To address the problem that the high supply voltage of the baseband amplifier (BB-AMP) limits the further reduction of the overall system supply voltage, a bulk-driven differential BB-AMP is also proposed, the characteristics of its ultralow supply voltage make the system supply voltage as low as 0.3 V. And the dual path offset calibration loop is proposed to eliminate all mismatches and offsets in the differential signal path, further ensuring the system robustness. This WuRX is implemented in a 65-nm LP CMOS process, operates at 434 MHz, consumes 6.96 nW from 0.3-V supply voltage, and achieves a sensitivity of −75.8 dBm at 250 bps. When the temperature changes from −10 °C to 50 °C, the sensitivity varies from −77.5 to −73.6 dBm.
Variations in calling behaviour of wing dimorphic male crickets

A trade‐off between flight and reproduction has been well studied in wing dimorphic female insects but less attention has been given to this trade‐off in males. In this study, the authors analysed the differences in the calling behaviours of long‐winged (LW) and short‐winged (SW) male Velarifictorus aspersus crickets. Furthermore, the authors examined the effects of flight and wing dealation on the calling behaviour of LW males, as well as female preferences regarding the calling songs of males. The results showed that SW males sang more often than LW males during the first 9 days after emergence, but there were no significant differences in the song characteristics of SW and LW males. A flight of 5 min increased the singing time by LW males without changing the song characteristics, but a flight of 30 min or wing dealation increased both the singing time and chirp number per song. In binomial choice trials, female crickets did not prefer SW calling song to unflown LW calling song. But when LW males had either flown 30 min or been dealated, females preferred LW to SW calling song. Therefore, LW males may attract fewer females than SW males when they are preparing for dispersal, but this reproductive disadvantage may be absent during dispersal and the settling stage.
TEACHER ASSESSMENT OF ONLINE INSTRUCTION

As the world grappled with the unprecedented challenges brought about by the spread of the virus and where a state of emergency has been in place worldwide (Roshan, et al, 2021), a shift to digital forms of instruction was imperative. Japan was no exemption. The rushed implementation of remote instruction brought to light the enormous issues regarding online instructions not only in the country (Obe & Okutsu, 2020), but worldwide as well. There is a need not only to holistically understand learning and teaching in contexts where technology mediates learning, but also to understand the immense complexity of effectively assessing learning results in such context.
A procurement‐based classification of pharmaceutical supplies for diabetes disease management

Diabetes is among the most prevalent noncommunicable chronic diseases globally and carries a substantial expense in worldwide health care. Pharmaceutical supplies related to diabetes management account for 20%–40% of the disease's management cos, and this percentage continues to increase. This study examines the pharmaceutical expenses associated with one of the most common chronic diseases: diabetes. Specifically, we measure the extent to which patient health and demographic factors drive the annual cost of pharmaceutical supplies for diabetes management. Second, the study applied a procurement‐centric classification scheme to pharmaceutical items involved in diabetes treatment.
Determinants of International Reserves Among Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

Member countries of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are always in the news regarding the prices and supply of crude oil to the international market. One of the economic reasons for this is liquidity and the desire to accumulate international reserves by the respective countries. This paper examined the determinants of international reserves among the cartel against the backdrop of the motives for keeping reserves. With data from 2005 to 2018, the adopted variables that were tested with the system of generalised methods of moments (Sy‑GMM) are inflation, exchange rates, oil prices, crude oil dependence, economic crises and others. The results and outputs show that inflation was negatively impactful externally and internally, while FDI inflows recorded negative significance. Economic crises and economic openness were positively significant, while oil prices and exchange rates were not significant determinants of international reserves accumulation. The paper recommends the maximisation of opportunities available by members during economic crises to accumulate reserves that will enable them to diversify from dependence on crude oil exports to include other products and a higher level of openness to open the economy up for competition to make the economies stronger.

Discovery of Novel Potential Aphid Repellents: Geranic Acid Esters Containing Substituted Aromatic Rings

Aphids are one of the most damaging agricultural pests. For the sake of novel eco-friendly compounds with good activity for aphid control, a series of novel geranic acid esters containing substituted aromatic rings were designed by inverting ester groups of lead compounds. All compounds were characterized by HRMS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. In order to identify the effect of inversion ester groups on activity, a bioassay was conducted. The results showed that the repellent activity against Acyrthosiphon pisum (A. pisum) and the binding affinity with the odorant-binding protein 9 from A. pisum (ApisOBP9) of the compounds were increased after inversion of the ester groups. Particularly, 5f showed the best repellent activity (repellency proportion: 55.6%) and binding affinity (1/Ki: 0.49 µM). Meanwhile, the structure–activity relationships revealed that the introduction of meta-substitution of the benzene ring and halogen atoms, such as Cl and Br, facilitated the biological activity. The further molecular docking results demonstrated that hydrogen bonding interactions and hydrophobic interactions were vital for the binding affinity with ApisOBP9. Additionally, all compounds were predicted to be eco-friendly and their volatile physicochemical properties have been enhanced compared to the leads. The present results provide valuable clues for the further rational design of aphids’ behavioral control agents.
Relationship between Leptin and Insulin Resistance among Community—Dwelling Middle-Aged and Elderly Populations in Taiwan

The relationship between leptin and insulin resistance among middle-aged and elderly populations in Asia is seldom reported. Our research included 398 middle-aged and elderly Taiwanese individuals. First, we divided participants into three groups according to the tertiles of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) to analyze the parameters between each group. Pearson’s correlation was then applied to calculate the correlation between HOMA-IR and cardiometabolic risk factors after adjusting for age. A scatter plot indicated a relationship between serum leptin levels and the HOMA-IR index. Finally, the coefficients of the serum leptin level and HOMA-IR were assessed by multivariate linear regression. The participants in the high HOMA-IR index group were more likely to have higher serum leptin levels. Meanwhile, the HOMA-IR index was positively correlated with serum leptin levels, even after adjusting for age. Serum leptin levels were positively correlated with the HOMA-IR index (β = 0.226, p < 0.01) in the multivariate linear regression after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, drinking, BMI, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, uric acid, ALT, and creatinine. Furthermore, the leptin–creatinine ratio also showed a significantly positive relationship with HOMA-IR in the same multivariate linear regression model. In conclusion, serum leptin levels showed a positive relationship with insulin resistance in middle-aged and elderly people in Taiwan. Furthermore, serum leptin levels may be an independent risk factor for insulin resistance according to our study.
Stability of dental implants placed in healed bony sites of hyperlipidemic patients

Background: The effect of elevated levels of serum fats ­­-hyperlipidemia- on the long-term implant stability and bone quality has been heavily examined in animal-model studies. This human-based case series is the first clinical study which aimed at clinical and radiographic evaluation of dental implant stability and the changes in bone density in patients with high lipid profile. Materials and Methods: Twelve female patients, each had a single healed bony site which indicated for implantation together with high serum fasting (Low-density lipoprotein) LDL level (≥160 mg/dl) were included in this study. The clinical implant stability values (ISQ) which were measured using the Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) method, and CBCT changes were recorded at baseline and six months post-implant insertion. Results: All patients showed implant success after six months. There was a significant increase of implant stability after 6 months from (65.92 ± 6.39 ISQ) to (74.42±6.20 ISQ) (p<0.001).
Internal crisis communication and Nordic leadership: the importance of transparent and participative communication in times of crisis

ABSTRACT This multiple case study investigates internal crisis communication in Finnish and Norwegian hotels and restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing a Nordic leadership perspective to the research area. Due to the exploratory nature of the study, a qualitative research design was chosen, and 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with hospitality leaders, middle managers, and employees. The multilevel analysis revealed that existing internal communication practices were challenged due to the urgency and uncertainty of the crisis. The findings show that managerial transparency and presence facilitated sensemaking processes and contributed to trust in the managers. Yet, limited autonomy among middle managers and lack of employee consultation when communicating about decision-making indicated a conflict between internal crisis communication and aspects of Nordic leadership such as cooperation, consensus-seeking, and delegation of responsibility. However, the findings suggest that the openness and transparency of Nordic leadership prevailed in the crisis and contributed to managerial learning and solution-finding through crisis communication and management. Furthermore, leaders should find a balance between control and participation when communicating about internal decision-making during a crisis. We conclude that transparency and participative communication are essential when striving for effective internal crisis communication, facilitating employees’ sensemaking, and building trust relationships during a crisis.

Lack of ZNF365 Drives Senescence and Exacerbates Experimental Lung Fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by aberrant activation of the alveolar epithelium, the expansion of the fibroblast population, and the accumulation of extracellular matrix. Global gene expression of human lung fibroblasts stimulated with TGFβ-1, a strong fibrotic mediator revealed the overexpression of ZNF365, a zinc finger protein implicated in cell cycle control and telomere stabilization. We evaluated the expression and localization of ZNF365 in IPF lungs and in the fibrotic response induced by bleomycin in WT and deficient mice of the orthologous gene Zfp365. In IPF, ZNF365 was overexpressed and localized in fibroblasts/myofibroblasts and alveolar epithelium. Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis showed an upregulation of Zfp365 localized in lung epithelium and stromal cell populations. Zfp365 KO mice developed a significantly higher fibrotic response compared with WT mice by morphology and hydroxyproline content. Silencing ZNF365 in human lung fibroblasts and alveolar epithelial cells induced a significant reduction of growth rate and increased senescence markers, including Senescence Associated β Galactosidase activity, p53, p21, and the histone variant γH2AX. Our findings demonstrate that ZNF365 is upregulated in IPF and experimental lung fibrosis and suggest a protective role since its absence increases experimental lung fibrosis mechanistically associated with the induction of cell senescence.
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Based on the State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries

The state of health (SOH) is critical to the efficient and reliable use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Recently, the SOH estimation method based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been proven effective. In response to different practical applications, two models for SOH estimation are proposed in this paper. Aiming at based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM) method, a variety of ECMs are proposed. Used EIS to predict the ECM, the results show that the improved method ensures the correctness of the ECM and improves the estimation results of SOH. Aiming at a data-driven algorithm, proposes a convolution neural network (CNN) to process EIS data which can not only extract the key points but also simplifies the complexity of manual feature extraction. The bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model was used for serial regression prediction. Moreover, the improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the model. Comparing the improved model (IPSO-CNN-BiLSTM) with the traditional PSO-CNN-BiLSTM, CNN-BiLSTM and LSTM models, the prediction results are improved by 13.6%, 93.75% and 94.8%, respectively. Besides that, the two proposed methods are 27% and 35% better than the existing gaussion process regression (GPR) model, which indicates that the proposed improved methods are more flexible for SOH estimation with higher precision.

The virtual mother: Mumsnet and the emergence of new forms of ‘good mothering’ online

Whilst previous research into mothering on social media has focused on representations of intensive mothering ideology, this paper argues that social media are fundamentally changing mothering discourses for some users. The paper explores ‘good’ mothering in digital communities by considering: the legitimised expression of ambivalent emotions in digital mothering communities; the shifting relationship between private and public, with implications for new forms of maternal intimacy; the forms of surveillance engaged in, and resisted, online; and the opportunities for women to play with alternative identities. Through analysis of posts on the British mothering internet forum ‘Mumsnet’, the paper suggests the concept of virtual mothering to encapsulate the emerging ways in which mothering is performed through online spaces. Four aspects of virtual mothering discourse are explored – perfection, privacy, politics and play.
Glucocerebroside-Containing Milk Concentrated Powder Suppresses Oxidative Stress and Photoaging in the Skin of Hairless Mice

This study investigated the protective effects of glucocerebroside-containing buttermilk concentrated powder (GCBM) on oxidative stress and photoaging in ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated hairless mice. We measured antioxidant enzyme activities, collagen synthesis-related pathways, and moisturizing-related factors in the dorsal skin of mice. We observed that dietary supplementation with GCBM increased antioxidant enzyme activity and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in the UVB-irradiated dorsal skin. Furthermore, dietary supplementation with GCBM inhibited wrinkle formation by suppressing the JNK/c-FOS/c-Jun/MMP pathway and stimulating the TGF-βRI/Smad3/procollagen type I pathway. Dietary supplementation with GCBM also increased skin moisturization by stimulating hyaluronic acid and ceramide synthesis in the dorsal skin. Therefore, buttermilk powder supplementation helps prevent photoaging and can be used as an effective component in developing anti-photoaging products.
Perception of Climate Change and Pro-Environmental Behavioral Intentions of Forest Recreation Area Users—A Case of Taiwan

This study aims to extend the theory of planned behavior to explore climate change perception, adaptation intention, and behavioral patterns of PEB of tourists in the Xitou Nature Education Area (XNEA) in Taiwan. Furthermore, we analyzed the correlation among various variables using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from the close-ended question questionnaires; sample size (n = 626). SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 for Windows were used as tools for analysis. The results are as follows: the perception of tourists on climate change exerts a significant positive effect on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, which, in turn, exerts significant positive effects on climate change adaptation intentions. Furthermore, climate change adaptation intentions exert a significant positive influence on the behavioral patterns of PEB. Finally, political trust exerts a moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norms and climate change adaptation intentions and between perceived behavioral control and climate change adaptation intentions. Our findings indicate that it is necessary to encourage awareness of climate change, and that it is also very important to increase the value of political trust when making environmental policies.
A Review on Bioflotation of Coal and Minerals: Classification, Mechanisms, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

ABSTRACT Today, with the ever-increasing concerns about the widespread environmental impact of the mining industry, the movement of the mineral processing sectors, which heavily rely on various chemical and petroleum-origin reagents, to the green industry is imperative. Due to the advantages biotechnological approaches provide, bioprocessing is considered a benign alternative to conventional mineral processing techniques. Recent fundamental research works have directed the attention to the development of biotechnology and using microorganisms in the new field of biobeneficiation, especially bioflotation. The current review categorizes bioflotation methods into direct and indirect processes giving an in-depth insight into their concepts. Furthermore, this study provides a comprehensive review of research on different aspects of bioflotation, such as the effects of operating (mainly solid content and pH) and biotechnological parameters, potential mechanisms, and unexplored points, but from different, and practical viewpoints. Recent studies were summarized by categorizing microorganisms based on their wall structures, and growth temperature. It was disclosed based on the literature data that the nutritional requirement of variant microorganisms was only chemolithotroph. Further, the conducted researches in investigating optimum conditions for maximization of contact angle and adhesion forces to reach the maximum recovery were reviewed. In addition, existing problems and challenges of this field were investigated and it was found that economic barriers and obscurities were the main obstacles of industrial application in mining and mineral processing industries. Finally, new perspectives and suggestions were presented to shed light on future research and help to solve the challenges currently facing its application.
Noise-induced macroscopic bifurcations in populations of globally coupled maps

Populations of globally coupled identical maps subject to additive, independent noise are studied in the regimes of strong coupling. Contrary to each noisy population element, the mean field dynamics undergoes qualitative changes when the noise strength is varied. In the limit of infinite population size, these macroscopic bifurcations can be accounted for by a deterministic system, where the mean-field, having the same dynamics of each uncoupled element, is coupled with other order parameters. Different approximation schemes are proposed for polynomial and exponential functions and their validity discussed for logistic and excitable maps.
