«Cadde a tai note»: il lamento tra la Flora feconda e La selva di cipressi di Margherita Costa
Authors: Goethals Jessica
Published: February 2023

Nel 1640 Margherita Costa dedicò al granduca di Toscana Ferdinando II de’ Medici Flora feconda, un poema epico in onore della nascita del suo primo figlio. In quest’opera gli eroi Zeffiro e Flora (personaggi che raffigurano Ferdinando e la sua consorte Vittoria della Rovere) intraprendono un viaggio nel Mediterraneo fino all’oracolo di Giove per chiedere al dio il permesso di procreare. Il poema permise a Costa di mostrare la sua versatilità letteraria attraverso un adattamento innovativo di modelli offerti da figure come Ovidio e Ariosto. Il saggio esamina in particolare la rivisitazione di Costa del topos della donna abbandonata presente nella tradizione letteraria e musicale del lamento amoroso. Quando l’infante dei Medici morì dopo pochi giorni dal parto, la poetessa fu costretta a modificare il testo aggiungendo un decimo canto che prende la forma del lamento politico, un altro tipo di lamento allora in voga. L’unione di questi due sub-generi viene replicata nelle altre due successive opere pubblicate in quello stesso anno: una versione drammatica del poema intitolata La Flora feconda e la raccolta di poesie lugubri La selva di cipressi. In queste opere, come il saggio dimostra, Costa gioca con le convenzioni del lamento sia in termini di genere letterario-teatrale che di ruoli legati al gender dei personaggi.
Sorelle, cantanti, rivali. I teatri di Margherita e Anna Francesca Costa nel primo Seicento
Authors: Megale Teresa
Published: February 2023

Attraverso la ricostruzione storica, fondata sulla ricerca archivistica, il saggio propone due diverse “drammaturgie di attrici” (Margherita e Anna Francesca Costa), due modi diversi e speculari di interpretare la professione della cantante e dell’impresaria nelle corti e nei teatri pubblici europei del primo Seicento. Da attrice-cantante che scrive (Margherita) ad attrice-cantante che, al culmine della propria carriera, si muta audacemente in concertatrice e in impresaria almeno di un’opera musicale (Anna Francesca), passano le differenze fra declinazioni identitarie dell’essere donna di scena in anni cruciali per la progressiva invenzione e definizione del canone professionale.

Authors: Bertha Nkemnyi Anyizi , Oshuware Oben Benedicta , Mange Ndip Lucy , Pius Mbu Oben
Published: February 2023

Objectives: Freshwater resources are essential to livelihoods because of the ecosystem services they provide. However rivers flowing through residential and agricultural areas are susceptible to contamination, affecting these services. It is essential to ascertain the level of confidence of residents in the use of the said river resources. The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions of the communities on the health risks associated with the use of the River Nyong in Cameroon.

Methods: 140 semi-structured questionnaires were administered to users of the river in Akonolinga, Cameroon. Data were analysed in the SPSS version 21 statistical package at α = 0.05.

Results: Some respondents (11.4%) do laundry in the River Nyong. Few (17.6%) bathe in the river while a majority (88.1%) consumes fish from it. A majority of respondents (78.6%) get sick and are hospitalised between 1 and 3 times annually. Food poisoning and waterborne diseases occur between 20 to 30 times annually in at least 22.2% of the respondents, and symptoms include stomach ache (54.8%), diarrhoea (41.9%) and rashes (17.2%).  There is a strong association between the method of preparing fish before consumption and the number of annual hospital visits (Χ2 = 18.073, p = 0.006).

Conclusion: While respondents’ perceptions of the health risks associated with exposure to the water and fish from the river are strong, we did not find a causal association between the risk factors studied and the health risk indicators.

Published: February 2023

Background: The practice of Pharmacovigilance (PV) and Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) reporting is very necessary to ensure adequate safety of all drugs in use and is an integral component of post marketing surveillance. Pharmacist, including interns are at a central position in carrying out this important function.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the practice of  pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting and the perceived barriers towards its implementation among pharmacist interns in Nigeria.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among pharmacist interns in Nigeria. The 18-item semi-structured questionnaires were administered online using simple random sampling with the snowballing technique to recruit the participants and the results were analyzed with IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. The chi-square test was used to evaluate associations.

Results: A total of 450 pharmacist interns participated in this study. The practice of PV and ADR reporting is poor among the respondents, less than 40% of the participants have ever reported ADR before, while only 29.1% have reported ADR since starting their internship program. Only 35.8% said “yes” to documenting ADR. Verbal information (61.1%) is the most widely used method of reporting ADR. Lack of cohesion among healthcare professionals, unavailability of feedback from relevant authorities, and fear of being wrong are the most reported barriers towards PV and ADR reporting among the participants. This is a correlation between the number of months spent in internship program and the practice of PV by the participants.  ‘Fear of being wrong’ is an essential barrier to PV and ADR reporting among participants in tertiary hospitals (86.0%).

Conclusion: The practice of pharmacovigilance is poor among the participants. Many barriers also affect ADR reporting among the interns. Measures should be taken to encourage ADR reporting and the reported barriers should be reviewed to improve pharmacovigilance activities.

Published: February 2023

Research on the accuracy of Brain Fingerprinting (BFP) has produced mixed outcomes: some report 99.9% and others report lower. Furthermore, no studies have measured the susceptibility of BFP to countermeasures. In Experiment‐1, we report the accurate classification of 15 of the 16 subjects, tested on their own real‐life autobiographical incidents; and 14 of the 15 other subjects, tested on another subject's real‐life autobiographical incidents. In Experiment‐2, 16 subjects of Experiment‐1, who were tested on their own real‐life incidents, participated in the BFP test again, but this time employing either direct‐suppression or thought‐substitution (n = 8 each) countermeasures. We report that neither direct‐suppression nor thought‐substitution was effective at concealing information that BFP was designed to reveal. We assert that BFP is a highly accurate, albeit not perfect, concealed‐knowledge detection technology and that it is resistant to memory suppression and thought substitution countermeasures in the context of autobiographical incidents.

Published: February 2023

Perovskites with superior photophysical properties and simple solution processing are widely applied in solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. However, the target of high‐performance multifunctional perovskite optoelectronics is hampered by their intrinsic properties, such as the undesired crystallization rate, ease of ion migration, poor stability, and high brittleness. A perovskite–polymer matrix, including a perovskite–polymer composite and a polymer–perovskite–polymer heterostructure, is adopted to handle the above issues. This review starts with the categorized polymer addition methods and the relevant polymer distribution for a perovskite–polymer matrix. In addition, the high performance originating from the controlled crystallization, stress regulation, inhibited ion migration, defect passivation, reduced interfacial recombination, and multifunctions from the enhanced stability, mechanical robustness, self‐healing ability, controllable dimension, and novel optical properties are then summarized. Meanwhile, the working mechanisms of a perovskite–polymer matrix in perovskite optoelectronics are also discussed. Finally, promising guidelines and proposals are provided to promote the commercialization of high‐performance multifunctional perovskite optoelectronics.

Authors: Zhang Tianshi , Li Jiguang , Zu Baiyi , Dou Xincun
Published: February 2023

Hydrogels with open environment stability are of great significance in the fields of microelectronics, organ regeneration, and hydrogel‐based sensors. Although a series of strategies for exploring highly robust hydrogels have been proposed, it is still challenging to improve environmental stability while maintaining the original dispersed medium feature. Here, 1‐vinyl‐3‐butylimidazolium (VBIM) and acrylic acid (AA) are used as the anionic and cationic monomers to prepare zwitterionic hydrogels through the thermal initiation polymerization. The prepared PAA‐IL (polyacrylic acid‐co‐ionic liquid) hydrogel forms a large number of multi‐hydration, including hydrogen bonds and ion‐dipole interactions with water to inhibit the freezing and volatilization of water, and it possesses good structural stability due to the formation of ion bond self‐association through interchain charge interaction. The robust stability of the chemical sensor with PAA‐IL hydrogels as the substrate at different pH and temperature verifies the validity of the proposed design strategy. It is expected that the present zwitterionic hydrogel design strategy would shine a light on the exploration of environment‐stable hydrogels and hydrogel‐based chemical sensors.

Self‐labeling enzymes (SLE) such as the HaloTag have emerged as powerful tools in high and super‐resolution fluorescence microscopy. Newly developed fluorogenic SLE substrates enable imaging in the presence of excess dye. To exploit this feature for reversible labeling, we engineered two variants of HaloTag7 with restored dehalogenase activity. Kinetic studies in vitro showed different turnover kinetics for reHaloTagS (≈0.006 s−1) and reHaloTagF (≈0.055 s−1). Imaging by confocal and stimulated emission depletion microscopy yielded 3‐5‐time enhanced photostability of reHaloTag labeling. Prominently, single molecule imaging with reHaloTags enabled controlled and stable labeling density over extended time periods. By combination with structured illumination, simultaneous visualization of single molecule diffusion and organellar dynamics was achieved. These applications highlight the potential of reHaloTag labeling for pushing the limits of advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques.

Nanoaggregates made from amino acid‐based polymers have been an important platform for targeted drug delivery systems such as the lungs. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to develop tyrosine‐based poly(ester amide)s (Tyr‐PEA) for dry powder inhaler (DPI) of a potent drug (fluticasone propionate [FP]) using interfacial polymerization. The molecular and surface profiling characteristics were evaluated using Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, particle size analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron micrographs. The aerodynamic performance was evaluated using the NGI. The results confirmed the formation of the PEA and FP‐loaded Tyr‐PEA with an average particle size of, 45.39 ± 6.32 nm. The produced FP/Tyr‐PEA showed entrapment efficiency and encapsulation capacity of FP of 92.32% and 0.526% respectively, which enabled the delivery of this potent drug in a reasonable dose. The in‐vitro performance of the FP‐loaded PEA was compared to a marketed product and results revealed a significant enhancement of the emitted dose (87.29% vs. 59% respectively [t‐test, p < 0.05]). FP‐loaded Tyr‐PEA produced a higher respirable dose when compared to the marketed FP DPI (48.63 μg vs. 34.15 μg). Overall, FP‐loaded Tyr‐PEA was successfully prepared with optimal performance. Tyr‐PEA‐based nanoparticles provide a potential platform for targeted drug delivery, particularly potent actives.

Trapping electromagnetic waves in high‐index resonators with extreme quality factors (Q‐factor) can be achieved by exciting supercavity (quasi‐bound states in the continuum, quasi‐BIC) modes with minimal radiation loss. Conventionally, the quasi‐BICs are achieved by tuning the resonator dimensions to promote destructive interference between two modes in the cavity. In this work, an enhanced Q‐factor is achieved by manipulating the structure of a near‐field excitation source and tailoring the excitation strength of individual multipolar modes. A pair of concentric rings with strong mutual coupling is used in contrast to a simple single‐ring case. We show that adding the second passive ring enables additional degrees of freedom to manipulate the multipolar content exited in the cavity. The multipole decomposition of the cavity modes is performed using full‐wave numerical simulations to support these claims. Experimental validation with a double‐ring fed supercavity demonstrates the highest measured Q‐factor of ≈310 or ≈2× the quality factor of a design without supercavity, which is consistent with a numerical model predicting up to 3× enhanced Q‐factor. We show that, analyses of polarization singularities and multipolar decomposition can be used to understand, characterize, and design such systems, employing their topological properties not broadly explored before.

The black phase of formamidinium lead iodide, FAPbI3, is optically active and promising for optoelectronics applications. However, it is difficult to synthesize and stabilize at room temperature since it thermodynamically tends toward the photoinactive yellow phase. Based on density functional theory computations, the potential of PbO semiconductor substrates to stabilize the black phase of FAPbI3 perovskite is investigated and shown that, interestingly, it can be effectively stabilized over the yellow phase at room temperature when deposited on the polymorphic phase α‐PbO.

This study adopted a pragmatic trial with randomization to investigate the relative effectiveness of web versus live training on special educators' competence and perceived skills in functional behavior assessments (FBA) and behavior interventions. Pragmatic trials seek to determine the effectiveness of an intervention in a real‐world setting to ensure better application and generalizability in routine practice conditions. The live training group received an in‐person workshop delivered in a lecture format via powerpoint slides. The web training group received asynchronous online instruction via a secure website. The same training content was delivered to both groups. Participants were randomly assigned across both instructional modalities and completed two pre‐ and post‐test measures. Results indicated that participants (N = 104) in both groups showed a significant increase in theoretical competence of FBA and behavior interventions post training. Only participants in the live workshop group reported a significant increase in perceived skill scores. When comparing outcomes across groups, the live training group gained significantly more theoretical competence in FBA and behavior interventions than that in the web training group. These results shed light on the practical implications of online platforms for professional development among in‐service teachers in behavior management for schools with children having disabilities and challenging behavior.
Electrospinning of honey and propolis for wound care
Authors: Mele Elisa
Published: February 2023

Phytochemicals and naturally derived compounds, such as plant extracts and bee products, are regarded as complementary and alternative medicines for the treatment of skin wounds, due to their antibacterial, anti‐inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. In recent years, it has been shown that dressings impregnated with honey (particularly Manuka honey) are effective for the topical treatment of wounds and burns, and some of them are currently used in clinics. This has stimulated the development of more advanced dressings based on polymeric nanofibres that can release honey and other bee products (like propolis) to promote wound healing. In this review, the current literature on the electrospinning of honey and propolis is analyzed and the effectiveness of the resulting dressings to inhibit bacterial growth and stimulate cellular proliferation and tissue repair is discussed.

Optically active epoxides play important roles in pharmaceutical, agricultural and fine chemical syntheses. There are many chiral medications with pharmacodynamic activity in nature that can be synthesized by chiral epoxides. In recent years, researchers have developed a variety of biocatalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes, which use oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as eco‐friendly and low‐cost oxidants, to provide better chemo‐, regio‐ and stereoselectivity under moderate reaction conditions. In this paper, the advances, opportunities and challenges of the asymmetric epoxidation of unactive alkenes by biocatalyst are reviewed.
