Published: July 2022

Background. Hearing is essential in child development. Cisplatin which is a common chemotherapy used in many pediatric solid-tumor protocols cause various degrees of ototoxicity. Several risk factors for cisplatininduced ototoxicity have been reported, including race and age. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of ototoxicity and its long-term outcome in Thai pediatric solid-tumor patients receiving cisplatin and to determine the risk factors associated with hearing impairment.
Methods. A retrospective study was conducted in solid-tumor patients < 15 years old from 2007 to 2019 at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Hearing was evaluated by an audiogram and/or auditory steady-state response and the impairment was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5. Grade 2 and above was considered significant hearing loss.
Results. In total, the hearing of 47 patients was evaluated. At the end of treatment, hearing impairment and significant hearing loss were found in 66% and 48.9% of patients, respectively. A high median cumulative cisplatin dose was significantly associated with worse hearing impairment (p = 0.039) and a more progressive grading of ototoxicity (p = 0.005). A risk factor for significant hearing loss was a cumulative dose ≥400 mg/m2 (p = 0.014). All 9 patients who received a cumulative dose > 600 mg/m2 and 5 patients who received aminoglycoside developed significant hearing loss. One patient had progressive hearing impairment at 8 months after the end of treatment and 1 patient developed grade 3 ototoxicity which required a hearing aid after bone marrow transplantation. The latter patient received a total cisplatin dose of 708.2 mg/m < sup > 2 < /sup > and carboplatin 1400 mg/m < sup > 2 < /sup > .
Conclusions. The incidence of hearing impairment in pediatric patients receiving cisplatin is high. Regular hearing evaluation is essential for the early detection of ototoxicity. Long-term follow-up is recommended, especially in patients who have a combination of other risk factors for hearing loss.

Light-driven production of hydrogen peroxide via selective dioxygen reduction is an attractive “green” alternative to the conventionally used anthraquinone process. One of the most promising classes of photocatalytic materials for this conversion that excels by high selectivity, chemical stability and low cost is represented by polymeric carbon nitrides, and particularly by various types of poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), i.e., ionic variants of carbon nitride. A crucial challenge highlighted by recent studies is the problem of separation of formed H2O2 from the reaction medium and especially from the suspended photocatalyst particles since photocatalytically generated H2O2 can undergo light-driven decomposition, as well as disproportionation on the surface of the photocatalyst in the dark. Herein, we report an elegant solution to this problem by implementing a biphasic reaction system in which the hydrophobic photocatalyst oxidizes a lipophilic electron donor in the organic phase, while the produced H2O2 is instantaneously extracted into the aqueous layer. To this end, we have achieved an effective hydrophobization of ionic carbon nitride (PHI) nanoparticles in the form of a composite with alkylated silica. The hydrophobized composite effectively photocatalyzes the reduction of dioxygen to H2O2 with concurrent oxidation of a model fatty alcohol (1-octanol) in the organic phase under visible light irradiation (406 nm LED), and enables, at the same time, facile separation of the high-value H2O2/water mixture from the reaction medium at H2O2 concentrations (~0.12 M) that are unprecedentedly high for light-driven systems reported in the literature. Notably, fatty alcohols are readily available from vegetable waxes and as pulping sub-products, and the products of their partial oxidation represent a valuable feedstock for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. This work thus showcases a rational design of a high-performance photocatalytic system for H2O2 production that enables easy separation of the product from electron donors and its recovery at high concentrations, and paves the way for sustainable and economically viable light-driven H2O2 production from easily available feedstock.
Competitive transport of water vapor and oxygen in epoxy-based coatings

Published: July 2022

Epoxies are used in various industrial applications as corrosion barriers but quantitative time-dependent predictions of their ability to mitigate corrosion attack at the metal/coating interface remain elusive. Permeability data for water vapor and oxygen through epoxy-based coatings are of particular interest because the coating’s barrier performance in humid environments is directly related to how quickly these reactants get to the metal/coating interface. There is, however, an absence of literature data to explain oxygen transport within coatings in the presence of water vapor and its associated plasticization effects. We show that water vapor is a dominant player in the barrier performance of epoxy membranes because it blocks the transport of other permeants. Through analysis of the sorption isotherms and empirical permeation data, we determined adjustable parameters that explain water vapor plasticization effects in fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) at 65°C. At this temperature, evolution of cavity formation and break-up of water clusters result in high mobility of water vapor molecules inside the epoxy network. We also modeled oxygen transport through FBE in wet-state conditions based on time lag measurements, and with reported literature data on vapor and gas sorption in epoxy. In a mixed gas/vapor system, water vapor in FBE blocks and/or significantly decreases gas permeation in the coating. If the service temperature is low (less than 40°C), water vapor immobilizes the oxygen gas within microvoid regions in the glassy epoxy. Our experimental measurements, combined with Freeman’s theoretical model for upper bound limits, showed that this water-induced blocking mechanism is sufficient to suppress corrosion reactions on the underlying substrate material. At 65°C and above, the synergistic effect of coating plasticization by water molecules and dissolution of oxygen in a mobile water vapor phase results in significant gaseous transport. We applied mathematical models based on proven sorption and transport models to FBE membrane systems and derived adjustable parameters to quantitatively explain this competitive permeation. Our O2 transport data show that, compared to the single-layer FBE, epoxy-based coatings with additional polyolefin layers can improve the barrier performance by deprivation of micropore channels for gas transport.
Force field parameterization and molecular dynamics simulation of epoxy resin interaction with boron nitride nanotube surfaces
Authors: Bamane Swapnil Sambhaji , Kanhaiya Krishan , Heinz Hendrik , Odegard Gregory
Published: July 2022

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are a very promising reinforcement for future high-performance composites because of their excellent thermo-mechanical properties. To take full advantage of BNNTs in composite materials, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the wetting characteristics of various high-performance resins. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides an accurate and efficient approach to establish the contact angle values of engineering polymers on reinforcement surfaces. In this research, MD simulations are used to predict the contact angle values of different epoxy systems on a BNNT surface. A reactive INTERFACE force field was parameterized and utilized in the simulations to accurately describe the interaction of the epoxy monomers with the BNNT surface. The effect of epoxy monomer type, hardener type, and temperature on the contact angle is established. The results show that contact angles decrease with increases in temperature for all the epoxy/hardener systems. The bisphenol-A based epoxy system demonstrates better wettability with the BNNT surface than the bisphenol-f based epoxy system. As wetting properties drive the resin infusion in the reinforcement materials, these results are important for the future manufacturing of high-quality BNNT/epoxy nanocomposites for high-performance applications.
Blue light-activatable DNA for remote control of cell-free logic gates and synthetic cells

Published: July 2022

Cell-free gene expression is a vital research tool to study biological systems in defined minimal environments and has applications in biotechnology. Developing methods to control DNA templates for cell-free expression will be important for precise regulation of complex biological pathways and drug delivery, particularly using remote, non-damaging stimuli such as visible light. Here, we have synthesised blue light-activatable DNA parts to selectively control cell-free expression. Using this approach, we were able to control cell-free RNA and protein expression with blue light. Due to the orthogonality of this blue light-activated DNA to UV irradiation, we combined it with our previously generated UV light-activated DNA to generate a dual-wavelength controlled cell-free AND-gate. This blue light-activated DNA was also used to control synthetic cells; lipid-bounded compartments that mimic cellular function. Our blue and UV orthogonal light-activated DNAs will open the door for precise control of cell-free systems in biology and medicine.
A “short blanket” dilemma for a state-of-the-art neural network potential for water: Reproducing properties or learning the underlying physics?
Authors: Zhai Yaoguang , Caruso Alessandro , Bore Sigbjørn L. , Paesani Francesco
Published: July 2022

Deep neural network (DNN) potentials have recently gained popularity in computer simulations of a wide range of molecular systems, from liquids to materials. In this study, we explore the possibility of combining the computational efficiency of the DeePMD framework and the demonstrated accuracy of the MB-pol data-driven many-body potential to train a DNN potential for large-scale simulations of water across its phase diagram. We find that the DNN potential is able to reliably reproduce the MB-pol results for liquid water but provides a less accurate description of the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties. This shortcoming is traced back to the inability of the DNN potential to correctly represent many-body interactions. An attempt to explicitly include information about many-body effects results in a new DNN potential that exhibits opposite performance, being able to correctly reproduce the MB-pol vapor-liquid equilibrium properties but losing accuracy in the description of the liquid properties. These results suggest that DeePMD-based DNN potentials are not able to correctly "learn" and, consequently, represent many-body interactions, which implies that DNN potentials may have limited ability to predict properties for state points that are not explicitly included in the training process. The computational efficiency of the DeePMD framework can still be exploited to train DNN potentials on data-driven many-body potentials, which can thus enable large-scale, "chemically accurate" simulations of various molecular systems, with the caveat that the target state points must have been adequately sampled by the reference data-driven many-body potential in order to guarantee a faithful representation of the associated properties.

CIUDAD SUPREMACISTA: UNA MIRADA DESDE EL CAPACITISMO Y LA DIVERSIDAD FUNCIONAL
Authors: Solano Meneses Eska Elena
Published: July 2022

La supremacía alude a la prevalencia de superioridad jerárquica de unos grupos humanos sobre otros. De aquí surge el concepto de ciudad supremacista, para interpelar la manera velada de excluir y desplazar.  Por su parte, el capacitismo describe situaciones que establecen condiciones de discriminación relacionadas con la discapacidad física o mental, asociado a la capacidad de producir, por tanto, de ser útil para la sociedad. Desde la mirada de la diversidad funcional es posible considerar valiosas todas las diversas expresiones de funcionamiento del cuerpo humano, pues cada persona puede presentar un modo particular de funcionamiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer una revisión de la ciudad bajo en enfoque del capacitismo y la diversidad funcional, tanto en el periodo de pre pandemia como en post pandemia. La metodología se apoya de un análisis teórico contrastando las condiciones supremacistas de la ciudad en los dos periodos mencionados, complementado con prácticas de observación de los espacios urbanos, así como encuestas a personas con discapacidad. Los resultados muestran las condiciones de supremacía que imperan en la ciudad, diseñada para habitantes con características de “completud y capacidad”, centrado en la posibilidad para producir y “ser útil”, extendida a los espacios mismos.Se concluye un necesario cambio de paradigmas, que consideren la dignificación de los espacios urbanos con un enfoque inclusivo, que atienda los derechos de todo tipo de personas, y que se aleje de conductas supremacistas que imperan en el diseño y en la gestión urbana.
Youth unemployment: the ever elusive luck in youth placement and employment in kenya
Authors: David Sande Ouma
Published: July 2022

The start of the millennium across the globe was characterized by increased academic enlightenment, professional specialization, increased rural to urban migrations and increased unemployment rates. Youth have become the most vulnerable segment of the status quo as a result of the fruits of the status quo, which have led to their miserable lives due to poor social, economic status and joblessness. This review is guided by the following questions: (1) Are youth sufficiently given the platform to showcase their potential? (2) Do current youth policies adequately address their grievances? (3) What are the contributions of the youth in the country? (4) What are the probable solutions to the challenges? This review reveals that (1) there are few opportunities for youth, (2) youth policies are only partially implemented, (3) the negative consequences of failing to include youth in national and country programmes are severe and (4) a lack of professional ethics, accountability, and meritocracy in organisations is a recipe for denying qualified youth opportunities. The paper concludes that, (1) the education curriculum should be reviewed to corroborate national values and ethos from elementary to university institutions, (2) tightened and pragmatic legislation are key parameters to deterrence and retribution of perpetrators causing inequity in employment opportunities, (3) political goodwill is imperative in equalizing youth participation in national processes, (4) the government's pluralistic approach to the economy is key to create more jobs, and (5) internships and apprenticeships should be considered a must for colleges and universities to release quality graduates to the job market.

Published: July 2022

Mindfulness has emerged as one of the major strategies for the well-being of employees in the current corporate world. As the workspace continues to evolve due to technological and structural advancement, employees face difficulty coping and lack the desired agility. The present study is a systematic review of around a hundred scientific papers and various books and business research articles from the period of 2000–2021 focusing on mindfulness and employee wellness research from various journals such as Jama Psychiatry, Applied Psychology: Health and Well-being, journals from Frontier Psychology and Emerald Publications, and others. The study aims to explore mindfulness and its applications across various vocational sectors, with particular emphasis on its potential relevance to the Indian population. The study also discusses the evolution of mindfulness, its implications for improving work culture and leadership, and its application in various workplaces. As there are very few mindfulness-based studies conducted on the Indian working population, the present study helps to bridge the gap and recommends future studies to be conducted on the Indian population to establish concrete scientific evidence on the possible impact of mindfulness on employees' vocational lives. The paper makes a unique contribution by analyzing the potential for enhancement through mindfulness in various vocational sectors and also identifies a strong scope for research in the emerging areas of corporate agility and robot-assisted interventions.

Background: The recent increase in social media use has been associated with body checking and body image dissatisfaction. This association has been attributed to the high prevalence of unrealistic images of beauty or masculinity on these platforms. Aim: The present study aimed to assess the association of body checking with active and passive social media use, and how self-esteem, emotional eating, and stress could modulate it. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional survey-based design was used. Participants (n = 423, 18-50 years old of both genders), filled a questionnaire measuring body checking, social media use, self-esteem, perceived stress and emotional eating. Results: Instagram was the most used social media platform in the surveyed sample. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Twitter were associated with increased body checking whereas Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, and YouTube were not. Also, results showed a positive correlation between body checking with active social media use, number of online friends/followers and one’s interaction with them, as well as emotional eating and stress. Furthermore, a negative correlation was found between body checking and self-esteem. Regression analyses showed that perceived stress, education, active social media use, and emotional eating helped explain 31.8 % of the variation in body checking. However, self-esteem, gender, and the number of online friends and their interaction with them lost significance. Additionally, the most significant variable in explaining the variation in body checking was emotional eating. Conclusion: Body checking frequency is positively associated with active social media use, high stress levels, and most importantly emotional eating. Additionally, the protective role of self-esteem on body checking may be buffered by active social media use, emotional eating, and stress. That being said, interventions regulating social media content to limit the spread of unrealistic beauty standards and media literacy campaigns educating people may be helpful to decrease body checking behaviors thus decreasing the risk of body image dissatisfaction and disordered eating.
“Effectiveness of Text Messaging Intervention on Intuitive Eating. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Manana Batoul

Intuitive eating (IE) is a concept based on mind-body integration of instinct, emotion and rationale thought, to improve eating behaviors and benefit physical and mental health. Several attempts were developed to teach IE principles such as structured face-to-face interviews, web-based interventions as well as text messaging interventions, being easy to implement and low-cost. Despite that, studies assessing the short and long-term effectiveness of active text messaging intervention on IE while correcting for stress and self-compassion are minimal. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a five-week text-message-based IE intervention on IE, while correcting for self-compassion and perceived stress level, and to examine the serial mediation model; linking self-compassion with IE via perceived stress and BMI. An online-randomized control trial design was used. Adults (n=195) were randomized into one of three groups: the Active intuitive eating (IE) group receiving IE-related messages with a practice exercise, the Passive IE group receiving only IE related messages and the control group receiving general health-related tips. Ten messages were delivered over five weeks. Two follow-ups were made, one directly post-intervention and another one five weeks later. The baseline data and follow-ups included demographic and nutrition-related variables and measures of IE, self-compassion and perceived stress. In total, 177 subjects completed the study. Results indicated a significant improvement in IE scores in the two intervention groups, with the passive IE group showing the most improvement. In addition, a significant improvement in self-compassion and reduction in perceived stress were observed in the active IE group. There was no significant change in BMI post-intervention. A significant positive correlation was detected between IE and self-compassion, and significant negative correlations were observed between IE, perceived stress and BMI at all assessment points. Finally, self-compassion was the strongest predictor of IE at follow-up. The present study revealed that text-messaging interventions might be efficient and cost-effective in enhancing IE. The results shed light on the need for further large-scale interventions that use visual aids and provide practical guidance to teach IE, while further characterizing the relation between IE, self-compassion, stress and BMI.

This research explores the effect of flexible work arrangements and work life balance on work engagement. The study also investigated the mediating effect of work-family conflict. Drawing on the conservation of resource theory and social exchange theory, a conceptual model is developed and the hypotheses linking flexible work arrangements, work-life balance, work engagement and work-family conflict are derived. This study suggests that flexible work arrangement is positively associated with work-engagement, and lack of work-life balance increases work-family conflict which in turns negatively impact work engagement. Quantitative empirical research was conducted to test the conceptual model. The structural model was tested using the Smart PLS software. The outcome of this study reveals that flexible work arrangement positively relates to work engagement. In addition, it was also established the absence of work-life balance leads to work-family conflict which further impact work engagement very detrimentally. Based on these outcomes, our study recommends that human resources managers interested in increasing work engagement levels among their employees should consider introducing and implementing flexible work arrangement strategies. Such an initiative, along with the presence of work-life balance among employees, can potentially minimize the work-family conflict and engage employees to be more engaged in their tasks.
“At What Cost & Why. (c2022)

Analysts, government officials and scholars have been in dilemma since the US committed itself to accept worldwide security and stability through its military assistance programs. Thus, US legislators aimed at reducing costly direct military intervention and substituting it with security assistance. The effectiveness and success of these programs still pose a controversy that is understudied especially in terms of determining the nature of US involvement and the different threat environment in every fragile state. The following study investigates the US aid to LAF following the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon in 2005. It examines whether the US strategy in Lebanon is likely to achieve its goals or would it be doomed to fail.
Assessing membrane biofilm predevelopment strategies to improve anaerobic membrane bioreactor effluent quality. (c2022)

Recycling and reuse of treated wastewater has been addressed as an alternative water resource to a great extent lately because of major water scarcity faced worldwide. Among wastewater treatment technologies envisaged, anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have demonstrated considerable benefits for high quality effluent and energy recovery. Specifically, recent developments in the understanding of membrane biofilms in AnMBRs indicate additional advantages to their known benefits as an emerging technology. In addition to high COD removal, increased biogas production and lower energy costs, AnMBRs are found to play a key role for the degradation of emerging contaminants of concern. The present work aimed to determine the effect of combining different membrane biofilm development conditions in an AnMBR on effluent quality, trimethoprim removal, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) proliferation, and effluent methane concentrations. The experiment consisted of two phases during which membrane biofilms were initially developed at different transmembrane pressures (TMPs) by varying the membrane flux rates and subsequently operated at the same flux rate for performance comparison. The first phase consisted of membrane biofilm development at low flux rate while the second phase was devised to allow membrane biofilm development at high flux rate. Improved performance was observed for a membrane on which the biofilm was initially developed at high TMP. After reduction of flux, lower TMP was sustained for the same membrane, on which higher COD and trimethoprim removals were observed. Analysis of membrane biofilm communities revealed presence of specific groups, notably methanogens and their associated syntrophic groups that confer benefits to effluent quality. Moreover, a remarkable difference between the microbial groups of the membrane biofilm layers developed at high TMP was observed. This study highlights a new approach for controlled membrane biofilm operation that can potentially promote water quality and micropollutant removal.
