BACKGROUND

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood and adolescence, with a prevalence of 5% and associated difficulties and worse prognosis if undetected. Multimodal treatment is the treatment of choice. However, sometimes treatment can be insufficient or have drawbacks.

OBJECTIVE

This study protocol aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive training through the serious video game The Secret Trail of Moon (MOON) in improving emotional regulation in people with ADHD.

METHODS

This is a prospective, unicenter, randomized, unblinded, pre- and postintervention study. The groups will be randomized (MOON vs control) via an electronic case report form. The MOON intervention will be performed 2 times per week for 10 weeks (30 minutes per session). The first 5 weeks (10 sessions) will be conducted face-to-face at the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital, and the remaining weeks will be conducted via the internet at the participants’ homes. The total sample consists of 152 patients aged between 7 and 18 years. All participants have a clinical diagnosis of ADHD under pharmacological treatment. Data collection will be used to obtain demographic and clinical data. The data will be recorded using REDCap. Measures will be made through clinical scales for parents and objective tests of cognitive functioning in patients. Additional information on academic performance will be collected. The study has a power greater than 80% to detect differences. Student t test, 2-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Mann-Whitney analyses will be performed according to each variable’s characteristics.

RESULTS

The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital on December 14, 2022. As of September 26, 2023, we have enrolled 62 participants, and 31 participants have completed the study. This clinical trial was funded by the Comunidad de Madrid (IND2020/BMD-17544). The approximate completion date is March 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

Serious video games such as MOON can be motivational tools that complement multimodal treatment for ADHD.

Authors: B Sonia Singh , T Sravan Karthik , KP Shubhaprada
Published: September 2023

Abstract: In the swiftly evolving landscape of cryptography, the advent of quantum computing poses unprecedented challenges to the established security paradigms. This research embarks on an extensive exploration into the resilience of the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, a linchpin of contemporary cryptographic infrastructure, against the looming threat posed by quantum computers. Our principal aim is to comprehensively assess the susceptibility of SHA-256, especially within the context of its critical role in ensuring the security and immutability of the Bitcoin blockchain. As quantum computing's potential to break classical cryptographic systems becomes a tangible concern, this research proposes SPHINCS+ as a potent post-quantum alternative, capable of safeguarding digital transactions and communications in the quantum era. By delving deep into the inner workings of both SHA-256 and SPHINCS+, this research contributes significantly to the expanding knowledge base surrounding post-quantum cryptography and its implications for securing the digital landscape

Published: September 2023

El chile es una hortaliza de importancia comercial que se cultiva a nivel mundial. En México, el estado de Zacatecas se posiciona en el primer lugar en superficie sembrada para la producción de chile seco y el número de productores dedicados a este cultivo realza su importancia socioeconómica. La caracterización de producto­res, de acuerdo con sus variables de manejo, productivas, sociales y económicas permiten conocer las tecnolo­gías utilizadas y la toma de decisiones a nivel de unidad de producción para desarrollar políticas diferenciadas por sistema de producción. Por ello, en esta investigación se buscó analizar e identificar los tipos de producto­res de chile seco en Zacatecas. Los datos se recopilaron a través de una encuesta a 66 productores de chile seco en Zacatecas, México y se analizaron mediante conglomerados, análisis de varianza de un factor, escalamiento multidimensional y análisis de correspondencia. Los resultados sugieren tres tipos de productores: 1) tradicio­nales, 2) intermedios y 3) empresariales. En esta última categoría, se ubicó a 78.7% de los productores, lo cual explica la competitividad del cultivo ante otros sistemas producto y otros estados de la República Mexicana.
Disputas morais nas músicas pop periféricas: estudo a partir do bregafunk
Authors: Soares Thiago
Published: September 2023

The beats of bregafunk and the praises that announce an evangelical cult, on a street in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Recife, bring to the forefront a set of moral disputes (MISKOLCI, 2021) in peripheral pop songs (PEREIRA DE SÁ, 2021) that pass through frameworks that link bodies to performance conditions in their leisure dynamics. A methodology that articulates Performance Studies for the interpretation of musical phenomena anchored in the spatial cleavage and the formation of dramatic frames (SOARES, 2017) in the urban fabric maps performative erasures (TAYLOR, 2013), sound policies, body choreography and ground policies (LEPECKI, 2011) in which, in addition to discourse, sensitive spheres emerge that problematize moral frameworks.

Variability Exists Across Outcomes Measured and Reported in Studies Assessing Interventions for Generalized Anxiety Disorder During the Perinatal Period: A Scoping Review
Authors: Stallwood E. , Frey B.N. , Barrett E. , Markwell A. , Butcher N.J. , McCabe R.E. , Green S.M.
Published: September 2023

Objective: This review aimed to identify if heterogeneity
exists across outcomes measured and reported in treatment studies
targeting perinatal individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Design: Scoping review. Setting: Existing literature
that evaluates the effectiveness of interventions for GAD during the
perinatal period (i.e., pregnant and postpartum). Methods:
Studies were eligible if: 1) they were English from the years 2011 to
2021; 2) participants were in the perinatal period with a GAD diagnosis;
and 3) the aim of the intervention was to treat GAD during the perinatal
period. Three bibliographic databases were searched. Two reviewers
independently screened studies for eligibility. Study characteristics
and data (e.g., outcomes, OMIs used) were extracted. Main
outcome measures: Outcome measures are not required for this type of
study design. Results: Of the 4424 records identified, 4
studies were included. The outcomes from the four studies were mapped to
one of five core areas in Dodd et al.’s (2018) research outcome
framework. A total of 10 distinct outcomes were captured across the 4
studies. Anxiety symptoms, the most common outcome, employed three
different OMIs. Notably, the majority of outcomes fell within the
physiological/clinical core area, indicating a dearth of
patient-centered outcomes in the literature. Conclusions: This
review highlights outcome and OMI variations in perinatal GAD studies.
To improve synthesis, reproducibility, and comparability among treatment
studies, future research in perinatal GAD treatment should adopt
standardized outcomes and OMIs. This standardization is essential for
informing clinical practice guidelines and policies.
Brain Evoked Response Qualification Using Multi-set Consensus Clustering: Toward Single-trial EEG Analysis
Authors: Mahini Reza , Zhang Guanghui , Parviainen Tiina , Düsing Rainer , Nandi Asoke , Cong Fengyu , Hämäläinen Timo
Published: September 2023

Objective: Scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) provides a substantial
amount of data about information processing in the human brain. In the
context of conventional event-related potential (ERP analysis), it is
typically assumed that individual trials share similar properties and
stem from comparable neural sources, especially when employing
group-level methods (including cluster analysis). However, those group
analyses can miss important information about the relevant neural
process due to a rough estimation of the brain activities of individual
subjects while selecting a fixed time window for all the subjects.
Method: We designed a multi-set consensus clustering method to examine
cognitive processes at the single-trial level. The obtained clusters for
the trials were processed via consensus clustering at the individual
subject level. The proposed method effectively identified the time
window of interest for each individual subject. Results: The proposed
method was applied to real EEG data from the active visual oddball task
experiment to qualify the P3 component. Our early findings disclosed
that the estimated time windows for individual subjects can provide more
precise ERP identification than considering a fixed time window for all
subjects. Moreover, based on standardized measurement error and
established bootstrap for single-trial EEG, our assessments revealed
suitable stability for the calculated scores for the identified P3
component. Significance: The new method provides a more realistic and
information-driven understanding of the single trials’ contribution
towards identifying the ERP of interest in individual ERP potential
data.
An Anatomical Study of Traumatic Injuries of Rujakar Marma
Authors: AK Sharma
Published: September 2023

As it is well known thing that Ayurveda is the science of life.it has peculiar part like Marmas which shows similar value ability now a days also in modern surgery. Marmas are said to be half part of surgery (Shalya-vishyardh) by Acharya Sushruta. Marmas are the vital points in our body which possesses Mansh (muscle), Shira (vessels), Snayu (liga-ments, tendons and connective tissue), Asthi (bony tissue) and Sandhi (joints) combinly. Marmas are the places where the aliveness (prana) is present naturally and specially according to acharya sushruta. Sushruta belongs to the group of surgery predominantly, when surgery is performed, Marma points have to be saved that’s why Marma is described in detail by the father of surgery Acharya Sushruta. Characteristics of injury on marma points (Marma Viddha lakshana) are also described in detail by acharya sushruta along with the exact location of Marma points. Up to what extant Marmas are spreads (Parinam), that area of body should be avoided for the surgery. Similarly according to time period of death marmas are classified by Sushruta so that it can be distinguish that most intensity of aliveness (Prana) are cause of sudden death (Sadhya-pranhar). Marma chikitsa is a new concept in Ayurveda where Marma points are gently pressed to cure the localize or generalize pain like acupuncture. As marmas are the “Doorways” into the body‘s inner pathways for consciousness and energy healing.

Authors: Roslinda Emi , Prisila Fransiska Wiwi , Mariani Yeni
Published: September 2023

Farmers choose an agroforestry pattern to fulfill various objectives, including obtaining their income. The diversity of fruit plants chosen by the Nanga Menterap village community as a component of the agroforestry system has the potential to contribute significantly as a source of community income. This research aimed to describe the agroforestry patterns and calculate the contribution of agroforestry patterns to the income of the people of Nanga Menterap Village, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The research used a survey method by census. Data collection techniques included observation, questionnaires, and interviews with the Nanga Menterap Village community with agroforestry land. The agroforestry pattern in Nanga Menterap Village can be classified into two types: the agrisilvicultural and the agrosilvopastural. Farmers in Nanga Menterap Village apply a random mixture planting form in which crops and trees are planted irregularly. The agroforestry plants combined in the forestry component include durian (Durio zibethinus), aren (Arenga pinnata), tengkawang (Shorea stenoptera), mango (Mangifera indica), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), and petai (Parkia speciosa). The agricultural component includes chili (Capsicum annuum), cocoa (Theobroma cacao), corn (Zea mays), coconut (Cocos nucifera), coffee (Coffea robusta), banana (Musa sp.), cassava (Manihot esculenta), long bean (Vigna unguiculata), ginger (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.), eggplant (Solanum melongena), and tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), while the types of livestock such as pigs, domestic chickens, cows, and goats. The contribution of agroforestry to community income in Nanga Menterap Village is 82.74%. From these contributions, the agroforestry system is the right choice for the community and government to manage land. The governments should be able to facilitate and determine specific and targeted activity programs to improve the cultivation capabilities and welfare of farmers.

Towards digital counselling in primary care management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a qualitative descriptive study in Finnish primary care
Authors: Jansson Miia , Kääriäinen Maria , Vesty Gillian , Pikkarainen Minna
Published: September 2023

Digital counselling may improve patients’ health outcomes, when eHealth solutions are accessible and tailored to the patients’ needs, which is especially important for people with chronic and long-term conditions such as knee osteoarthritis. This study aims to identify patients’ eHealth needs to improve the quality of digital counselling in a primary care management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. A qualitative study was used to collect patients’ eHealth needs through semi-structured interviews in a single outpatient clinic in Finland between August 2020 and November 2020. The data was analyzed using both deductive and inductive content analysis approaches. The study was reported in accordance with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative research checklist to improve the transparency of the study.
Analysis of the data revealed five main categories to be considered when implementing digital counselling in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: background factors (functional impairments, health literacy, digital literacy, cost-related access barriers), resources (digital methods and materials), sufficiency (knee osteoarthritis-related knowledge and skills), implementation (simplicity, trust, patient-centeredness), and benefits (self-care capabilities, confidence).
According to our findings, both health and digital literacy seems to be important contributors to the adoption of digital counselling in a primary care management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. New eHealth solutions should not replace the first visit in the outpatient clinic. Instead, the use of eHealth solutions should be based on the first visit, during which a trusting relationship between patients and healthcare providers is established. In future, the level of health and digital literacy in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis should be taken account.

Published: September 2023

Classification is the process of finding a model that describes and distinguishes data classes that aim to be used to predict the class of objects whose class labels are unknown. There are several algorithms in classification, such as classification trees and regression trees (CART) and logistic regression. The k-fold cross validation method has a weakness for algorithm comparison problems it is possible at different folds to produce different error predictions, so that the results of comparing algorithm performance will also be different. There for in the problem of comparison of algorithms, the researcher will apply the 52cv t test method and the 52cv combined F test. Out of 100 iterations the 10-fold cross validation method was only consistent three times which shows that the k-fold cross validation method has poor consistency in comparing the CART algorithm and logistic regression for diabetes mellitus data. In addition, 52cv combined F test and 52cv t test methods that have been carried out show that 52cv combined F test is better used to get conclusions from the results of a comparison of the two algorithms because it only produces one decision, in contrast to 52cv t test which has the possibility to get different decisions from 10 test statistics which results makes it difficult for researchers to draw conclusions in comparing the cart algorithm and logistic regression

Published: September 2023

The English language is used for official purposes and the language in education in Ghana. However, the continuous penetration of Pidgin English (PE) in Ghanaian Senior High Schools (SHS) has been evident in recent times. The paper focuses on the motivations and perceptions of students, in a Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana, on their use of PE in school. It adopts the various motivations and perceptions of students on the use of PE, as identified in the literature, in a questionnaire survey for the responses of the research participants. The study reveals that PE is used as a concealment strategy in students’ conversations against those outside their group, and as a means of solidarity. However, the participants exhibited mixed perceptions of the use of PE in schools. The paper provides insights into PE usage in Ghanaian SHSs.

Published: September 2023

The praxis–theoretical content of the development of female entrepreneurship in comparative & juxtaposition arguments of possibilities and contradictions require scientific understanding and interpretation. In fact, the gender approach, the feminine cannot exist without the masculine, incorporating entrepreneurial activity, but such a role of a woman in society helps to achieve such a level in her activities when it is necessary to help the government and society for the benefit of its desire to improve and realize business.

The authors highlight the subject of the study in the article the development of female entrepreneurship, which has some limitations in the possibilities of praxis formation through the prism of synchronous and dynamic development in the modulation of synchronicity with small and medium–sized enterprises, social and youth businesses, as well as in the understanding of women’s entrepreneurship in comparison with wage labor conditions. This means that women’s entrepreneurship can be combined with only one or several types of entrepreneurships, recreating a special female parity. However, on the way to choosing her form of employment, a woman can be guided by two main criteria: 1) become self–employed and provide tutoring, catering and leisure services for school–age children, perform duties of caring for the sick and/or elderly, etc. 2) organize your own small business and perform the social function of an «employer» and be responsible for your own decisions.
Strategic thinking as a key competence of a financial analyst
Authors: Shatskaya I. V.
Published: September 2023

A financial analyst is one of the key figures in the activities of a modern enterprise. This is a specialist who examines financial indicators, and uses the conclusions obtained from the results of the study in order to help the company in making business decisions. Considering that a financial analyst, as a rule, has a wide range of professional responsibilities, in order to ensure the performance of high-quality multitasking work, he must have a unique set of professional and business skills that he forms both at the stage of education and later in the course of his work.

The main subject of the paper is the description of professional and business skills, which together can be described as the key competencies of a financial analyst. The author pays special attention to the meta-science of strategic thinking. This skill allows a financial analyst to consider any financial tasks through the prism of the commercial success of the entire enterprise, taking into account the factors of the external and internal environment, strategic opportunities and threats. Focusing on the General Theory of Strategy of academician V.L. Kvint, the author insists on a human–centered approach to making business decisions. The use of this approach assumes that the financial analyst is not blindly guided by the task of maximizing the profit of the enterprise at any cost, but first of all assesses what prospects each business decision will bring to interested parties, including staff, consumers, the local community, etc.

Authors: Naumova E. A. , Gortsevskaya O. G.
Published: September 2023

Improving the reliability of financial statements in the interests of external users is the main task to be solved in the process of its preparation. The ongoing reform of the accounting system in connection with the updating of federal standards causes changes in the procedure for the formation of financial reporting indicators. The article examines the impact of the federal lease accounting standard on the reliability of information presented in the financial statements of the tenant enterprise. The difference in approaches to the definition of reliable reporting in the Russian accounting system and international standards is analyzed.

The authors consider the consequences of applying the standard in three main areas: the emergence of a new object of the balance sheet asset, the reflection of lease liabilities as part of accounts payable of the balance sheet liability, and the disclosure of other information about lease transactions in the explanatory notes to the statements. The procedure for determining the right to use the leased object using discounting rules is described. The concept of the fair value of the leased object and its difference from the market value is given.

Special attention is paid to the importance of the professional judgment of an accountant for the formation of reliable reporting indicators.
Characterization and Properties of Durian Skin Fiber Filled Polylactic Acid/Polypropylene Compatibilized with Glut Palmitate Salt
Authors: Mohamad Sarina
Published: September 2023

PLA matrix provides good mechanical, physical and degradability properties, but somehow PLA alone is not good enough to produce a product as PLA has poor toughness resulting a brittle material. Natural fiber such as Durian skin fiber (DSF) can be incorporated into PLA/PP as a biopolymer to achieve the desired properties and better degradation which resulting a good bio-composite. Therefore, the study was carried out to produce bio-composite of DSF filled with PLA/PP and glut palmitate (GP) salt as compatibilizer. The bio-composites was successfully developed using different filler (DSF) loadings (0 php, 15 php, 30 php, 45 php and 60 php) with melt mixing blending. The FTIR analysis showed the new peak existed at 1595 cm-1 revealed a good interaction in the composite system which come from the bending of NH2 vibration from GP. The mechanical properties (tensile properties) and physical properties (water absorption ability and density) of prepared bio-composite were determined. Increasing of DSF filler loading to 60 php DSF in PLA/PP bio-composite with the addition of GP increased in tensile strength (5.06 ± 0.09 MPa) and elongation at break (3.74 ± 0.18%) due to enhanced interfacial bonding and strong adhesion between the polymer matrix and the filler due to the presence of compatibilizer. However, increased filler loading to 60 php DSF, showed a decreasing trend in the tensile modulus which represents high flexibility of the bio-composites. Furthermore, PLA/PP/DSF bio-composites absorption of water increases with the increasing filler loading until it reaches at saturation point. The study concludes that the DSF reinforced PLA/PP with the addition of GP was suitable to be used in the production of bioplastic by many industries which can promote a sustainable environment for society.

Authors: Leal Matheus Lucas Maciel , De Araújo Filho Daniel Alves , Beleza Rakcelainy Mendonça , De Souza Aline Lessa , Da Silva Viviane Vidal
Published: September 2023

Purpose: To analyze land use patterns in the municipality of Lábrea from 2000 to 2022.   Theoretical framework: Although deforestation is historically related to the strength of agribusiness capital in the state of Mato Grosso, it has currently advanced in a region, which encompasses the states of Acre, Amazonas and Rondônia. Spatial analyzes indicate that the municipality of Lábrea (AM), together with Porto Velho (RO), Apuí and Novo Aripunã are responsible for 52% of the deforestation in a region. Given the above, knowing the patterns of land use in Lábrea helps to identify new occupation frontiers, in addition to showing itself as an indicator of biodiversity loss and threats to traditional peoples.   Method/design/approach: The research is a quantitative study using geoprocessing tools, such as ArcGis 10.6 software. The areas of land use were quantified in the period from 2000 to 2022 and a descriptive statistical analysis was carried out in order to verify the variability of deforestation in the defined period.   Results and conclusion: The results showed that deforestation in Lábrea in the period from 2000 to 2022 had an average of 248.8 km² reaching its maximum point in 2022, with 700 km² of deforested area. The intensity of land use and occupation runs mainly in its southern portion, being a strong indicator of illegal land appropriation for agricultural development.   Research implications: The contribution of the research deals with the knowledge of land use patterns in the municipality of Lábrea, demonstrating critical analysis that will serve as a theoretical basis for the creation of new public policies focused on the balance of land use with regional development.   Originality value: This research is original and demonstrates a temporal analysis of land use in a municipality in the southern State of Amazonas and its main implications.

El ideal de la igualdad en las relaciones de pareja heterosexuales en la sociedad chilena
Authors: Valenzuela Somogyi Mariana
Published: September 2023

En la sociedad chilena contemporánea el ideal de la igualdad se ha traducido en un principio normativo a partir del cual los individuos evalúan la relación con las instituciones y las interacciones cotidianas con los otros. Desde la tesis de que el ideal de la igualdad se articula como un marco interpretativo sobre las relaciones de pareja heterosexuales, se presentan los resultados de un estudio de corte cualitativo sobre una muestra homogénea de diez hombres y diez mujeres adultos de nacionalidad chilena, con estudios completos de educación superior y que se identifican como heterosexuales. Los resultados revelan la contraposición entre un modelo jerárquico tradicional y un modelo igualitario contemporáneo que deviene en un trabajo individual para sostener una narrativa sobre sí mismo y la relación de pareja desde la igualdad.

In contemporary Chilean society, the ideal of equality has been translated into a normative principle with which individuals evaluate the relationship with institutions and daily interactions with others. Based on the thesis that the ideal of equality is articulated as an interpretative framework on heterosexual partnerships, the results of a qualitative study on a homogeneous sample of ten adult men and ten women of Chilean nationality, with completed higher education studies and who identify themselves as heterosexual, are presented. The results reveal the contrast between a traditional hierarchical model and a contemporary egalitarian model that becomes an individual work to sustain a narrative about themselves and the partnership based on equality.
New challenges and threats in the digital space: security as a criterion for the development of information technologies
Authors: Duben Andrei  Kirillovich
Published: September 2023

The object of this study is public relations related to information security in The Russian Federation in the face of new challenges and threats, as well as digital transformation and geopolitical changes. The subject of the study forms a set of legal norms of normative legal acts of the Russian Federation regulating public relations in the field of information security, as well as the provisions of theoretical interdisciplinary research in this area. Special attention is paid to security issues, which occupy one of the key values in the domestic and foreign policy of the state, determining further national interests and strategic national priorities, goals and objectives of state policy and sustainable development of the state for the long term. The issues of ensuring information security are becoming more and more urgent in view of the global digital transformation of all spheres of life, as well as the aggravation of geopolitical contradictions and the strengthening of interstate information warfare. The author concludes that it is obvious that it is expedient to legislate at the federal level the legal foundations of the national information security system in the Russian Federation in order to use information and legal means in the conditions of digitalization, the growth of geopolitical challenges and risks, the global socio-economic crisis, the formation of a multipolarity of the world, aimed at increasing the security of Russian information resources, information systems and objects of information infrastructure. The author raises the question of the possibility of including certain legal norms in the domestic information legislation in the part in which such norms regulate relations in the field of performance by public administration bodies of functions ensuring security in the information sphere.

In addition to discovering new antibiotics to combat antibiotic resistance, there is a critical need to develop novel strategies that could limit off-target effects and unnecessary exposure of antibiotics to bacteria in our body and environment, respectively. We report a set of novel, photoswitchable arylazopyrazole-modified norfloxacin antibiotics that presents a high degree of bidirectional photoisomerization, impressive fatigue resistance, and reasonably high cis half-lives, and exhibits antibacterial activity selectively against Gram-positive bacteria; the cis isomers of most compounds were found to have near equal or greater potency than the norfloxacin, rendering them bactericidal. Remarkably, a visible-light-responsive p-SMe-substituted derivative against the norfloxacin-resistant S. aureus bacteria showed extremely high antimicrobial activity with a MIC of 0.25 ug/mL in the irradiated state and a 24-fold potency difference between irradiated and non-irradiated states. The antimicrobial activity of the irradiated state can be retained for more than 7 hours. The cell-killing ability of this compound was further visualized by Live/Dead cell staining assay and FACS studies. Theoretical calculation and molecular docking studies were performed to identify the underlying reason behind the high-affinity binding of the irradiated form to the topoisomerase IV.

Supported bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest to industry and academia due to their specific catalytic performances, often leading to improved activity and/or selectivity. Yet, structure–activity relation-ships are difficult to derive in these systems due to the multitude of possible compositions, interfaces and alloys. This is notably true for bimetallic NP catalysts involved in the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol where the NP structure responds dynamically to the chemical potential of the reactants and products. Herein, we use a recently developed combined computational and experimental approach that leverag-es ab-initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) and Metadynamics (MTD) in conjunction with in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, chemisorption and CO-IR, to explore the dynamic structures and interactions with ad-sorbates under various CO2 hydrogenation conditions in well-defined state-of-the-art silica-supported PdGa NPs on an atomic level. We find that PdGa alloying generates isolated Pd sites at the NP surface, changing the dominant binding modes of relevant adsorbates compared to pure Pd NPs: CO molecules mainly adopt terminal binding modes and hydrides switch from mainly internal to terminal and μ2-bridging in PdGa NPs. Under more oxidizing conditions, akin to CO2 hydrogenation for PdGa NPs, Ga is partially oxidised, forming a GaOX layer on the surface of the NP, with a partially dealloyed PdGa core, that retains some isolated Pd sites at the surface. Overall, these bimetallic NPs show high structural dynamics and a variable extent of alloying in the presence of different adsorbates relevant for CO2 hydrogenation. This work also highlights that AIMD/MTD is a powerful approach to elucidate structural dynamics at a single particle level in complex catalytic systems.

While valued for their durability and exceptional performance, crosslinked thermosets are challenging to recycle and reuse. Here, we unveil inherent reprocessability in industrially relevant polyolefin thermosets. Unlike prior methods, our approach eliminates the need to introduce exchangeable functionality to regenerate the material, relying instead on preserving the activity of the metathesis catalyst employed in the curing reaction. Frontal ring opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) proves critical to preserving this activity. We explore conditions controlling catalytic viability to successfully reclaim performance across multiple generations of material, thus demonstrating long-term reprocessability. This straightforward and scalable remolding strategy is poised for widespread adoption. Given the anticipated growth in polyolefin thermosets, our findings represent an important conceptual advance in the pursuit of a fully circular lifecycle for thermoset polymers.
