An Investigation into Transition States of Cyclic Tetra-Atomic Silicon and Germanium Interstellar Dust Compounds: Si(x)C(4−x), Ge(x)C(4−x), and Ge(x)Si(4−x) (x ∈ {1, 2, 3})
Authors: Flowers Adam Mackenzie , Brown Alex , Klobukowski Mariusz
Published: May 2024

Presented in this work is a thorough determination of the transition states between the different isomers of cyclic tetra-atomic silicon-carbide, germanium-carbide, and germanium-silicide clusters. Through use of density functional theory (B3LYP-D3BJ, M06-2X, ωB97X-D4, and B2GP-PLYP) in conjunction with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, transition state structures and their barrier heights are determined for the interconversions between the various isomers for the family of tetra-atomic SiC, GeC, and GeSi compounds. SiC dust grains are known to be prevalent in interstellar dust, and among this group, so far only diamond-shaped (d-)SiC(3) has been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). Determining which other structures might be detectable not only depends on their intrinsic spectroscopic features, but whether or not they are likely to exist as isomers in interstellar environments. By examining the energy barrier heights for transitions between isomers, we determined that many of these structures are unlikely to exhibit interconversion in the ISM, outside of hotter circumstellar environments. Although Boltzmann population ratios at approximate circumstellar temperatures suggest the presence of higher energy minima, it is likely that once interconversion happens, as molecules travel away from a star and cool, they will get kinetically trapped in the potential energy well they inhabit, making how the ratios freeze out dependent on the time and pathways the molecules take to cool down. As such, many of these higher energy minima may still be good candidates for detection including (rhomboidal) r-SiC(3), r-GeC(3), r-GeSi(3), (trapezoidal) t-Si(2)C(2), r-Ge(2)C(2), and d-Si(3)C.
Surface-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy by Resonant Vibrational Coupling with Plasmonic Metal Oxide Nanocrystals

Published: May 2024

Coupling between plasmonic resonances and molecular vibrations in nanocrystals (NCs) offers a promising approach for detecting molecules at low concentrations and discerning their chemical identities. Metallic NC superlattices can enhance vibrational signals under far-field detection by generating a myriad of intensified electric field hot spots between the NCs. Yet, their effectiveness is limited by the fixed electron concentration dictated by the metal composition and inefficient hot spot creation due to the large mode volume. Doped metal oxide NCs, such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), could overcome these limitations by enabling broad tunability of resonance frequencies in the mid-infrared range through independent variation of size and doping concentration. This study investigates the potential of close-packed ITO NC monolayers for surface enhanced infrared absorption by quantifying trends in the coupling between their plasmon modes and various molecular vibrations. We show that maximum vibrational signal intensity occurs in monolayers composed of larger, more highly doped NCs, where the plasmon resonance peak lies at higher frequency than the molecular vibration. Using finite element and mutual polarization methods, we establish that near-field enhancement is stronger on the low-frequency side of the plasmon resonance and for more strongly coupled plasmonic NCs, thus rationalizing the design rules we experimentally uncovered. Our results can guide the development of optimal metal oxide NC-based superstructures for sensing target molecules or modifying their chemical properties through vibrational coupling.
Materials Challenges for Electric Vehicles

Published: May 2024

Electric vehicles provide the ability to substantially reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. Such vehicles utilize a fundamentally different powertrain technology compared to conventional vehicles based on the internal combustion of liquid fuels. In this series of articles, we discuss material challenges related to three key subsystems related to the powertrain of electric vehicles: batteries, power electronics, and permanent magnets. Given that electric vehicles currently occupy ~20% of the market share and are projected to rapidly rise, a cross-cutting challenge among these systems is the sustainability and resilience of the global supply chain of critical minerals to enable this adoption of electric vehicles.
Whole-Teflon Lab on a Film
Authors: Wang Zhenghao , Yin Yilin , Wu Hongkai
Published: May 2024

This study presents a convenient and cost-effective technology for fabricating flexible thin-film, integrative whole-Teflon microflu-idic chips. By employing micro embossing techniques, we created micropatterns on a thin FEP film (~50 µm), which were then sealed with another flat FEP thin film (~200 µm) to form microchannels. This approach enables rapid prototyping of lab-on-a-film FEP microchips using minimal equipment and at a low cost. Our microfluidic chip stands out due to two key factors: one is inherit-ed from the Teflon material, and the other is that the entire microchip is a very thin film. The combination of these factors provides distinct advantages, including exceptional chemical resistance, high transparency and flexibility, and efficient heat transfer. We developed an adhesive-free, tight-fit, and solvent-resistant interconnector to interface the FEP thin-film microdevices with the mac-roscopic world for stable fluid delivery. Microvalves are integrated into our Teflon microfluidic film chips, which are easy to oper-ate for fluid manipulation. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the versatility and enhanced performance of our transparent FEP microfluidic film chips through an on-chip photochemical reaction. These FEP microfluidic film chips offer powerful and diverse features that expand the capabilities of microfluidics, making them an attractive option for a wide range of applications such as biosensing, portable detection, wearable electronics, and organic reactions.

Published: May 2024

Organismal growth and lifespan are inextricably linked. Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling regulates protein production for growth and development, but if reduced, extends lifespan across species. Reduction in the enzyme RNA polymerase III, which transcribes tRNAs and 5S rRNA, also extends longevity. Here, we identify a temporal genetic relationship between TOR and Pol III inCaenorhabditis elegans, showing that they collaborate to regulate progeny production and lifespan. Interestingly, the lifespan interaction between Pol III and TOR is only revealed when TOR signaling is reduced, specifically in adulthood, demonstrating the importance of timing to control TOR regulated developmental versus adult programs. In addition, we show that Pol III acts inC. elegansmuscle to promote both longevity and healthspan and that reducing Pol III even in late adulthood is sufficient to extend lifespan. This demonstrates the importance of Pol III for lifespan and age-related health in adultC. elegans.

Imagination as a catalyst for Relational Leadership: Educational leaders’ perspectives.
Authors: Judson Gillian , Dougherty Meaghan
Published: May 2024

This research examines the role of imagination in relational leadership. Specifically, the following question was explored through a case study of a unique offering of an imagination-focused MEd program in Educational Leadership in a large, public research institution in British Columbia, Canada: How do participants understand imagination’s role in leadership after completing a two-year imagination-focused MEd leadership program? The 13 participants—all aspiring and emerging leaders in their professional settings—shared their developing conceptions of leadership, imagination, and the role of imagination in educational leadership. Participants articulated how imagination contributes to understanding themselves as leaders, engaging others with empathy, and building connections. The relational role of imagination was a dominant theme. According to participants, imagination is necessary for forming and enriching relationships, and reciprocally, relationships enhance imagination. Participants indicated how imagination supports their sense of belonging; imagination allowed participants to see themselves as potential leaders, and to feel they belonged “at the leadership table.” According to these preliminary findings, imagination may also create more opportunity in leadership. Overall, imagination emerges in this study as promoting not only relational, but humanizing leadership practices. This research contributes to understandings of relational leadership and highlights directions for future research. It identifies new directions for supporting equity and diversity in educational leadership and has clear implications for leadership education.

O LUTO EM TORNO DO HIV/AIDS: ANÁLISE DA VIVÊNCIA DO LUTO FRENTE AO DIAGNÓSTICO
Authors: Lima Júnior Carlos Mendes de , Lima Júnior Joel
Published: May 2024

A clínica do HIV/AIDS é marcada por situações de perdas, concreta e simbólica, que exigem das pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS esforços adaptativos, rearranjos consideráveis e elaboração do luto em torno de seu novo estilo de vida. Diante disso, este estudo objetivou analisar, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico, como se desenvolve nos indivíduos soropositivos o processo do luto em torno do HIV/AIDS, a partir do conceito de enfrentamento vivenciado em âmbito pessoal, familiar e social desde o recebimento do diagnóstico positivo até a experiencia de conviver com a infecção e sua estreita relação com a dinâmica de saúde-adoecimento. Com isso, o presente artigo identificou que pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS ainda sofrem algum tipo de preconceito seja nos grupos sociais, seja na própria família, entre outros, acentuando a representação de medo e de vergonha sobre a doença. Assim, considera-se até este momento que a introdução dos aspectos psicológicos de enfrentamento pode influenciar, consideravelmente, tanto de forma positiva quanto negativa a qualidade de vida e, inclusive, sobrevida de pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS.

Benefits of using SLGT2 Inhibitors for Patients with CDK and DM2 to Reduce Mortality Risks
Authors: Pandora Eloa Oliveira Fonseca , Jeremias Aguiar Azevedo , Sara Maria Gomes Bié , Sávio Benvindo Ferreira
Published: May 2024

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is characterized by progressive liver tissue damage and is an important risk factor for mortality due to renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Thus, randomized clinical trials have investigated the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SLGT2) inhibitors as a promising therapy for patients with CKD and T2DM. This study aimed to analyze the benefits of using SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with CKD and T2DM to reduce mortality risks. To this end, a qualitative, descriptive methodological approach was adopted using a literature review in the PubMed, Embase, and VHL databases. The inclusion criteria were clinical trial articles, randomized or non-randomized, cohort studies, case-control studies, and open access, published in Portuguese and English, between 2018 and 2023 with topics associated with SGLT2 inhibitors, CDK, and T2DM patients. In this context, it was observed that the risk of death from CKD in patients treated with Canaglifozin was 30% lower than in those treated with a placebo and that Dapaglifozin prolonged survival. In this context, when assessing the progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes in patients taking Empagliflozin, only 13.1% achieved the outcome compared to 16.9% on placebo, so the drug safely reduces the risk of mortality. Consequently, SGLT2 inhibitors have shown excellent results in the treatment of CDK and T2DM, with a reduction in the risk of mortality, positive effects on reducing renal and cardiovascular outcomes, as well as prolonging survival.

1. Forest restoration has the potential to contribute to climate, biodiversity, and human well-being, responding to multiple global sustainable development goals. Yet, little is known about the factors associated with local actors’ choice to engage in forest restoration, limiting the development of effective scaling strategies. 2. Our study examines the spatial socio-ecological factors associated with landowners’ engagement in forest restoration, documented by the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact in Brazil. To meet this aim, we draw on Diffusion of Innovations theory to model associations between forest restoration and explanatory variables related to the relative advantage of engagement, characteristics of landowners, and contextual conditions among 222,000 private properties in the Atlantic Forest. 3. Private properties with greater cattle densities, larger geographical sizes, lower levels of 2010 forest cover, smaller 1990-2010 forest loss, and waterbodies were more likely to be restored. Furthermore, properties in upland areas, with greater topographical ruggedness, at higher travel times from major cities, and in areas with a higher prevalence of local on-farm forest management practices and lower population densities were less likely to be restored. 4. Landowners’ decision-making appears responsive to legislative requirements, underscoring their value as levers for promoting restoration. Commercial landowners might have greater incentives to engage in restoration or be selectively targeted by restoration organisations, risking the marginalisation of smallholders from the Atlantic Forest restoration agenda. Finally, engagement with forest restoration is highest where there are more people and lower travel times to cities, suggesting restoration can potentially deliver ecological benefits in some of Brazil’s most heavily degraded landscapes. Building on these insights, we discuss strategies to accelerate the scaling of forest regeneration to meet national and internationally important nature, climate, and human well-being goals.
Unraveling the influence of Pavlovian cues on decision-making: a pre-registered meta-analysis on Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer

Published: May 2024

Amidst the replicability crisis, promoting transparency and rigor in research becomes imperative. The Pavlovian-to-Instrumental Transfer (PIT) paradigm is increasingly used in human studies to offer insights into how Pavlovian cues, by anticipating rewards or punishments, influence decision-making and potentially contribute to the development of clinical conditions. However, research on this topic faces challenges, including methodological variability and the need for standardized approaches, which can undermine the quality and robustness of experimental findings. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis to unravel the methodological, task-related, individual, training, and learning factors that can modulate PIT. By scrutinizing these factors, the present meta-analysis reviews the current literature on human PIT, provides practical guidelines for future research to enhance study outcomes and refine methodologies, and identifies knowledge gaps that can serve as a direction for future studies aiming to advance the comprehension of how Pavlovian cues shape decision-making.
Confirmatory Information Seeking is Robust in Psychologists’ Diagnostic Reasoning
Authors: Neal Tess M.S. , MacLean Nina , Morgan Robert D. , Murrie Daniel C.
Published: May 2024

Objectives: Across two experiments, we examined three cognitive biases (order effects, context effects, confirmatory bias) in licensed psychologists’ diagnostic reasoning. Hypotheses: Our main prediction was that psychologist-participants would seek confirming vs. disconfirming information after forming an initial diagnostic hypothesis, even given multiple opportunities to seek new information in the same case. We also expected individual differences would affect diagnostic reasoning, such that psychologists with lower (vs. higher) cognitive reflection tendencies and larger (vs. smaller) bias blind spots would be more likely to demonstrate confirmatory bias.Method: Study 1 recruited 149 licensed psychologists (M = 18 years of experience; 44% women; 71% White) and exposed them to one of four randomly-assigned vignettes that varied order effects (one set of symptoms in reversed orders) and context effects (court vs. employer referral). They rank-ordered a list of four possible initial diagnostic hypotheses, and received a piped follow-up choice of which of two pieces of information (confirmatory or disconfirmatory) they wanted to test their initial hypothesis. Study 2 (n =131; M = 21 years of experience; 53% men; 68% White) replicated and extended Study 1, following the same procedure except offering three sequential choice opportunities.Results: Both studies found robust confirmatory information-seeking: 92% sought confirmatory information in Study 1, and confirmation persisted across three opportunities in Study 2 (90%, 84%, 77%), though it lowered with each opportunity (generalized logistic mixed regression model F [2, 378] = 3.85, p = 0.02, ηp2 = 0.02). Conclusions: These findings expand a growing body of research on bias in expert judgment. Specifically, psychologists may engage in robust confirmation bias in the process of forming diagnoses. Although further research is needed on bias and its impact on accuracy, psychologists may need to take steps to reduce confirmatory reasoning processes, such as documenting evidence for and against each decision element.Public Significance Statement: These studies revealed strong evidence that once psychologists form an initial diagnosis, they seek confirming information in an effort to determine if their diagnosis is correct (rather than seeking information to determine if their diagnosis is incorrect). Confirmation bias is a problem because it can lead to misdiagnosis, failure to receive proper treatment, unjust sanctions, and more. Psychologists should take steps to reduce confirmatory bias in their diagnostic reasoning, such as carefully considering and documenting evidence both for and against each element of their decision process.
Illusory Between-person Component in the Random Intercept Cross-lagged Panel Model
Authors: Robitzsch Alexander , Lüdtke Oliver
Published: May 2024

The random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RICLPM) decomposes longitudinal associations between two processes X and Y into stable between-person associations and temporal within-person changes. In a recent study, Bailey et al. (2023) demonstrated through a simulation study that the between-person variance components in the RICLPM can occur only due to the presence of time-varying covariate processes that are omitted from the analysis model. Therefore, the between-person component was termed illusory. In this article, necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of such illusory between-person components in an RICLPM are analytically derived and systematically investigated in a simulation study.

This review synthesizes evidence on internal coupling across diverse domains including episodic memory and simulation, visuospatial memory, numerical cognition, object movement, body movement, and brightness imagery. In each domain, eye movements consistently reflect distinct aspects of mental imagery typically akin to those seen in corresponding visual experiences. Several findings further suggest that internal coupling may not only coincide with but also supports internal cognition as evidenced by improved cognitive performance. Available theoretical accounts suggest that internal coupling may serve at least two functional roles in visual imagery: facilitating memory reconstruction and indicating shifts in internal attention. Moreover, recent insights into the neurobiology of internal coupling highlight substantially shared neural pathways in externally and internally directed cognition. The review concludes by identifying open questions and promising avenues for future research such as exploring moderating roles of context and individual differences in internal coupling.

Music appears universally in human infancy with self-evident effects: as many parents know intuitively, infants love to be sung to. The long-term effects of parental singing are unknown, however. In an offset-design exploratory 10-week randomized trial (N = 110 families of young infants, Mage = 3.67 months, 53% female, 73% White), we manipulated the frequency of infant-directed singing via a music enrichment intervention. The results, measured by smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment, show that infant-directed singing causes general post-intervention improvements to infant mood, but not to caregiver mood. The findings also show both the feasibility of longitudinal ecological momentary assessment (retention: 92%; EMA response rate: 74%) of young infants and the potential of longer-term and higher-intensity singing interventions to improve health in infancy.

Purpose: This research proposes the implementation of web scraping on Google Search Engine to collect text into a structured 2D list.Design/methodology/approach: Implementing two important stages in the process of collecting data through web scraping, namely the HTML parsing process to extract links (URL) on Google Search Engine pages, and HTML parsing process to extract the body text from website pages on each link that has been collected.Findings/result: The inputted query is adjusted to the latest issues and news in Indonesia, for example the President's important figures, the month of Ramadan and Idul Fitri, riots tragedy (stadium) and natural disasters, rising prices of basic commodities, oil and gold, as well as other news. The least number of links obtained was 56 links and the most was 151 links, while the processing time to obtain links for each of the fastest queries was 1 minute 6.3 seconds and the longest was 2 minutes 49.1 seconds. The results of scraping links from these queries were obtained from Wikipedia, Detik, Kompas, the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), CNN Indonesia, the General Election Commission (KPU), Pikiran Rakyat, and others.Originality/value/state of the art: Based on previous research, this study provides an alternative to produce optimal collection of links and text from web scraping results in the form of a 2D list structure. Lists in the Python programming language can store character sequences in the form of strings and can be accessed using index keys, and manipulate text efficiently.

Purpose: Social media, particularly Twitter, provides a venue for individuals to share their thoughts. The public's perception of mental illnesses is often debated on Twitter. So yet, no evaluation of community tweets connected to data on mental health conditions has been performed. The purpose of this study is to examine tweets linked to mental illnesses in Indonesia in order to identify the themes of conversation and the polarity trends of these tweets.Design/methodology/approach: To address this issue, the K-Means Clustering algorithm is utilized to aggregate tweet data that is used to find themes of conversation. The emotion polarity value of each cluster result was then determined using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach.Findings/results: This study generated five topic clusters based on tweets about mental illness. While sentiment analysis revealed that all clusters had more negative sentiment classes than positive. Cluster 4 and Cluster 5 had the highest number of negative sentiment values. These clusters emphasize the necessity of consulting with psychiatrists and psychologists if people have mental health disorders, as well as financing for mental health disorder treatment through BPJS Kesehatan services.Originality/value/state of the art: The analysis was done in two stages: data grouping to find themes of conversation using K-Means clustering and SVM to look for positive and negative polarity values associated to twitter data about mental illness.

Aim. To identify immunological predictors of premature birth in women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICN). Design. A prospective comparative cohort study. Materials and methods. The study included 58 pregnant women with ICN and 20 women without ICN. After completion of pregnancy, all women were divided into three groups: group 1 (main) — 23 patients with premature birth, group 2 (comparison) — 35 patients with timely delivery and group 3 (control) — 20 women with normal pregnancy without ICN. Indicators of innate immunity in cervical mucus were studied in all pregnant women. In patients with ICN, an immunological study was conducted at the time of this diagnosis. In participants without ICN, cervical mucus was collected 18–20 weeks after receiving the results of cervicometry. Results. In the main group, the average number of leukocytes and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), lysosomal activity of neutrophils, levels of macrophage inflammation protein-1β (MIP1β) and BOX1 protein of the high mobility protein group (HMGB1) in cervical mucus were statistically significantly higher than in the comparison group and the control group. Using ROC analysis, the prognostic value of these markers in relation to premature birth in women with ICN was studied. It was found that the amount of NET > 18%, the levels of MIP1β > 13.5 pg/ml and HMGB1 > 10 ng/ml in cervical mucus can be considered as predictors of premature birth in patients with ICN. At the same time, the HMGB1 index has the highest sensitivity (78.3%) and specificity (80%) as a prognostic marker of premature birth in ICN. Conclusion. The proposed new approach to the prediction of premature birth in ICN is non-invasive and can be applied in the routine clinical practice of obstetricians and gynecologists. Keywords: isthmic-cervical insufficiency, premature birth, prognosis, innate immunity, HMGB1.

Aim. To present the experience of using a thoracoamniotic bypass for the treatment of a fetus diagnosed with nonimmune fetal dropsy, against the background of cystic adenomatous lung malformation type I. Key points. Congenital cystic adenomatous pulmonary malformation (CAPRL) is a benign lung lesion that appears before birth as a cyst or mass in the chest. The macrocystic form of this defect is associated with a significant risk of pulmonary hypoplasia, pleural effusion, and non-immune fetal hydrops. We present our own observation of a patient with type 1 CAPRL in the fetus and signs of non-immune hydrops. Conclusion. The use of intrauterine thoraco-amniotic shunting can stop the manifestations of hydrops in type I CAPRL in the fetus. Keywords: cystic adenomatous malformation of the lungs in the fetus, non-immune hydrops, thoraco-amniotic shunt.
