Published: December 2021

Open Data is one of the main concepts of Open Science, which has the purpose to make scientific research artifacts accessible for everyone. Open data provides recommendations and practices to get access and use data from scientific researches, in a free, permanent, citable, auditable and interchangeable way. To facilitate the data management, it is important to store them in a repository. Considering this context, this paper provides a comparison among five known open data repositories. We performed the comparison taking into account a set of criteria, such as, data format constraints, digital identifier, versioning of published datasets, curators of data collections, metadata schema, versioning and exportation, storage limit, paid services, redundancy and preservation, access controls and APIs. We present results and discussions, in terms of such criteria.

Energy Analysis via Value Stream Mapping: A case study of an Automotive Weld Plant
Authors: Ramsunder Keshav , Olanrewaju Oludolapo
Published: December 2021

Over the past few decades, Lean Manufacturing (LM) has been the pinnacle of strategies applied for cost and waste reduction. However as the search for competitive advantage and production growth continues, there is a growing consciousness towards environmental preservation. With this consideration in mind this research investigates and applies Value Stream Mapping (VSM) techniques to aid in reducing environmental impacts of manufacturing companies. The research is based on empirical observation within the Chassis weld plant of Company X. The observation focuses on the weld operations and utilizes the cross member line of Auxiliary Cross as a point of study. Using various measuring instruments to capture the emissions emitted by the weld and service equipment, data is collected. The data is thereafter visualised via an Environmental Value Stream Map (EVSM) using a 7-step method. It was found that the total lead-time to build an Auxiliary Cross equates to 16.70 minutes and during this process is emitted. It was additionally found that the UPR x LWR stage of the process indicated both the highest cycle time and carbon emissions emitted and provides a starting point for investigation on emission reduction activity. The EVSM aids in the development of a method that allows quick and comprehensive analysis of energy and material flows. The results of this research are important to practitioners and academics as it provides an extension and further capability of Lean Manufacturing tools. Additionally, the EVSM provides a gateway into realising environmental benefits and sustainable manufacturing through Lean Manufacturing.
Content and Access Provision in a Discrete Competition Model
Authors: Potgieter Petrus , Howell Bronwyn
Published: December 2021

The non-rival, non-excludable and infinitely expansible characteristics of digital goods with marginal cost of zero strongly favours the use of bundling strategies. Theoretical tractability requires most models in the current literature to make highly stylized assumptions, rarely observed or anticipated in the real-life situations, motivating inquiry. This paper considers a competition model in which: * the firms, consumers and differentiated products are finite in number; * prices are discrete and not continuous; * consumers may purchase multiple items in a single product category where the degree of complementarity or substitutability of the product categories can also vary across consumers; and * where consumer-specific cost savings are obtained when purchasing multiple items from the same firm. Approximate solutions are obtained through numerical simulation. Firms act in concert to maximise the total firm revenue. Our main finding is that the interplay between maximal firm revenue, consumer surplus and prices is very complex and that high firm revenue and high consumer surplus are not antithetic. It suggests also that consumer surplus and market concentration are not necessarily related. Many market outcomes that are observed may be due to chance rather than design as diverse outcomes can accompany situations that are, to the firms, difficult to distinguish.
Relationship Between Domestic Violence in Pregnancy and Maternal Fetus Attachment
Authors: Zare Elham , Ghaffari Maryam , Nahidi Fatemeh , Nasiri Maliheh , Masjedi Abbas
Published: December 2021

Background: Attachment between mother and fetus plays an important role in maternal identity, birth outcomes, growth, and development of a newborn. In addition, domestic violence, especially in pregnancy, has been regarded as a health priority in many societies. Objectives: The study aimed to assess the relationship between domestic violence in pregnancy and maternal fetus attachment. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 200 pregnant mothers visiting the selected Healthcare Centers of Mashhad. The questionnaires were demographic information, Straus Violence Questionnaire and Cranley’s Mother-Fetus Attachment Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlation coefficient and linear regression tests as well as SPSS v.21 software. Results: Here, 54% of members had experienced domestic violence. In general, there was a reversed and significant correlation between all aspects of domestic violence and mother-fetus attachment. Moreover, 89% of research centers reported fetal attachment as good, 10% as average, and 1% as weak. Based on the linear regression test, physical violence was able to predict the variance of maternal attachment score of 4.14% in mothers. Conclusions: As a result of this article, regarding lower maternal-fetal attachment in violated women in pregnancy, much more sensitive screening should be considered for domestic violence so that adverse outcomes are prohibited.
Evidentialists’ Internalist Argument for Pragmatism
Authors: Ho Tsung-Hsing ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2021

A popular evidentialist argument against pragmatism is based on reason internalism: the view that a normative reason for one to φ must be able to guide one in normative deliberation whether to φ. In the case of belief, this argument maintains that, when deliberating whether to believe p, one must deliberate whether p is true. Since pragmatic considerations cannot weigh in our deliberation whether p, the argument concludes that pragmatism is false. I argue that evidentialists fail to recognize that the question whether to φ is essentially the question whether one should φ. Furthermore, the question of whether one should believe p can be answered on pragmatic grounds. The internalist argument turns out to favor pragmatism.
Ranking alternatives using PIPRECIA method: A case of hotels' website evaluation
Authors: Stanujkić Dragiša , Karabašević Darjan , Popović Gabrijela
Published: December 2021

The article presents the application of the PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIRECIA) method for ranking alternatives. The PIPRECIA method is primarily intended for determining the significance (weight) of criteria, but it can also be used for completely solving decision-making problems. So far, this method has not been used for completely solving multiple criteria decision-making problems, which is why this article presents the application of the PIPRECIA method for the evaluation and ranking alternatives. The process of evaluating alternatives using the PIPRECIA method is shown on an example of evaluating the websites of some hotels located in Southern and Eastern Serbia.
Resonator-based metering of power components according to IEEE Standard 1459-2010
Authors: Kušljević Miodrag , Tomić Josif , Poljak Predrag
Published: December 2021

This paper proposes an accurate and computationally efficient implementation of the IEEE Std. 1459-2010 for power measurements. An implementation is based on digital resonators embedded in a feedback loop. In the first algorithm stage, the unknown signal harmonic parameters are estimated. By this, the voltage and current signals are processed independently of each other. In the second algorithm stage, the unknown power components are estimated (calculated) based on estimated spectra. To demonstrate the performance of the developed algorithm, computer-simulated data and laboratory testing records are processed. Simple LabView implementation, based on the point-by-point processing feature, demonstrates techniques modest computation requirements and confirms that the proposed algorithm is suitable for real-time applications.
Preliminary design of an analog discrete uniform noise generator
Authors: Vujičić Bojan , Pejić Dragan , Radonjić Aleksandar , Vujičić Vladimir
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the basic idea of the construction and a practical realization of a novel analog discrete uniform noise generator. The source of noise is a carbon resistor, the noise signal is linearly amplified and its value is limited in the finite small range [xg, xg]. The probability density function (PDF) of the carbon resistor thermal noise in that region is square one. By narrowing the symmetric allowable gap (interval) around zero, PDF of the noise approaches a uniform distribution. The factor of deviation from the uniform distribution is precisely defined and its value is practically negligible. In addition, the paper discusses the application of the proposed dither noise, both in the two-bit and in the multi-bit stochastic digital measurement method (SDMM). It is shown that noise is more suitable for application in multi-bit SDMM, because it is less sensitive to deviations from the uniform distribution.
Results of the EU cross-border programme allocations and their geographical implications for border regions of Vojvodina/Serbia in the 2014-2020 programming period
Authors: Nagy Imre , Ricz András , Fekete Renata
Published: December 2021

Researching the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina as a region of Serbia and an European Union (EU) border region, we have long been concerned with the raison d’être of cross-border programmes, their impact, sustainability and long-term results. Against that background, the current study is focused on the results of the 2014-2020 cycle. The region of Vojvodina has neighbouring external borders with three EU Member States. While the partner countries have already applied for almost 100% of the available amounts, the implementation of projects and thus the payment of grants is only 50% effected so far. Our intention has been to examine the Vojvodina region in terms of cross-border programmes based on already completed projects and running along the lines of different Priorities. The Programme Areas of the four (Hungarian-Serbian, Croatian-Serbian, Romanian-Serbian and Serbia-Bosnia and Hercegovina) Cross-border cooperation programmes do overlap significantly. Primarily, we have been researching the territorial distribution of each, by reference to the locations of project owners and of project activities; as well as the related networking character of the projects implemented in Vojvodina in the Interreg-IPA (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance) 2014-2020 programming period. It is then in this context that we examine the focal and connection points of the cross-border connections, in this way potentially indicating deficiencies in regard to sustainable project implementation. Without claiming to be exhaustive, we have also sought to reference impeding circumstances relating to a barrier effect that is obviously of particular importance given the fact that external borders of the EU are involved.

Due to their effects, similar to low-intensity therapy light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LED) and broadband spectrum lamps have recently become commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative pathologies, cancer, as well as ageing. Despite the proven positive effects of such therapies, deeper understanding of the light therapies’ biological effects remains unclear. Even more, the molecular mechanisms through which different neurotransmitters, namely serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), mediate the organism’s response to radiation are yet indistinct. In this paper, we present the design and development of a specialized system for irradiation of biological objects, which is composed of LED 365 nm and LED 470 nm and a broadband lamp source of UVA/B (350 nm) with intensity, power density and direction, which can be optimized experimentally. The system, named a “water organ bath (wob)”, is used in the current work to irradiate smooth muscle stomach strips of rats. The obtained results prove that the modulation of the spontaneous contractile smooth muscle activity and the potentiation of the effects of major neurotransmitters are executed by the emitted light. The probable explanation for the neurotransmitters photoactivation is that it is the resultant effect of electromagnetic radiation on intracellular enzymes signaling systems.
Design of Laparoscopic Executive Instruments for Robots
Authors:   Robotized and Mechatronics Intelligent Systems, Institute of Robotics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, Atanasova-Georgieva Veronika
Published: December 2021

The main objective of this work is focused on improving some technical deficiencies of existing laparoscopic executive instruments to robots. For this reason two main problems have been overtaken: i) to perform a kinematic-structural analysis of existing executive instruments by structural and kinematic criteria, to estimate their engineering characteristics, motivating the need to develop new ones and ii) to develop functionally operating model of an executive tool, with simplified kinematics of actuation of end-effectors, with higher reliability and easier support of the sterility of the instrument. In contrast to daVinchi robot system which includes structures with three orthogonal rotations this study describes other decision with combination of perpendicular and parallel rotations. The design is simplified, no additional transmission mechanisms of the executive links are required, which in turn facilitates the process of control of the device and proved higher reliability.

Background: Accurate measurement of a patient’s height and weight is an essential part of diagnosis and therapy, but there is some controversy as to how to calculate the height and weight of patients with disabilities. Objective: This study aims to use anthropometric measurements (arm span, length of leg, chest circumference, and waist circumference) to find a model (alternatives) that can allow the calculation of the height and the body weight of patients with disabilities. Additionally, a model for the prediction of weight and height measurements of patients with disabilities was established. Method: Four hander patients aged 20-80 years were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups, 210 (52.5%) male and 190 (47.5%) female. Result: A significant correlation was noted between body height and arm span, as well as between body height and length of leg in all study groups. The body weight and the ratio of arm span or leg length to the sum of chest and waist circumferences were found to have a negative significant correlation. Model equations were derived to estimate the height and body weight according to anthropometric measurements. Conclusion: Anthropometric measurements can be used to create a model for calculating the body height and body weight of patients with disabilities and which can be considered an alternative to measurements that can be made on otherwise healthy subjects.

Bisphosphonates drugs target the skeleton and are used globally for the treatment of common bone disorders. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates act by inhibiting the mevalonate pathway in bone-resorbing osteoclasts but, surprisingly, also appear to reduce the risk of death from pneumonia. We overturn the long-held belief that these drugs act only in the skeleton and show that a fluorescently labelled bisphosphonate is internalised by alveolar macrophages and large peritoneal macrophages in vivo. Furthermore, a single dose of a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid) in mice was sufficient to inhibit the mevalonate pathway in tissue-resident macrophages, causing the build-up of a mevalonate metabolite and preventing protein prenylation. Importantly, one dose of bisphosphonate enhanced the immune response to bacterial endotoxin in the lung and increased the level of cytokines and chemokines in bronchoalveolar fluid. These studies suggest that bisphosphonates, as well as preventing bone loss, may boost immune responses to infection in the lung and provide a mechanistic basis to fully examine the potential of bisphosphonates to help combat respiratory infections that cause pneumonia.
Titters at Black-and-White Moral Absolutism: Portrayal of Characters in Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan
Authors: Hammad Iman Morshed Mohammad
Published: December 2021

This paper examines Oscar Wilde’s portrayal of characters in his famous comedy Lady Windermere’s Fan in an attempt to unravel the mystery behind the seemingly contradictory acts of behavior which are at odds with their inclinations and the attitudes they often express in their dialogues with one another. Since critics have been holding controversial views about Wilde’s craftsmanship in character delineation, the paper endeavors to prove that he meant to avoid black-and-white moral absolutism to prove that a human being is essentially unpredictable, and has a multi-facetted self which is far more sophisticated than being drawn as either good or bad. I argue that Wilde’s craftsmanship should not be under question, for his portrayal of characters is correlated to the focal point of the play which maintains that human behavior cannot be measured by a yardstick. At the beginning, I include an analysis of characters’ sayings and acts of behavior, and thereafter I briefly elucidate how Wilde utilizes them to communicate his message. The upshot of this paper contests that a human being is a potentiality that keeps unfolding. The more a person experiences life, the better he\ she tolerates difference and shows more understanding of people’s nature and motives. This seems to be the crux of Wilde’s play and the interpretation of his seemingly contradictory delineation of characters.
Interpunkcja w tłumaczeniu
Authors: Foremniak Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

Przekład interpunkcji jako osobne i wymagające zadanie tłumacza jest kwestią niedocenianą zarówno przez nauczających warsztatu, jak i przez badaczy. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na istotę problemu, a także wskazanie i opisanie technik stosowanych w tłumaczeniu na język włoski polskich kontekstów wymagających użycia myślnika (wł. lineetta). Jako znak, którego zastosowania znacząco różnią się w obu badanych językach, myślnik pozwala dostrzec konteksty wymagające kontrastywnego zestawienia dwóch norm przestankowania. Materiał językowy poddany analizie obejmował zbiór reportaży Mariusza Szczygła Nie ma opublikowany w 2018 przez wydawnictwo Dowody na Istnienie oraz włoskie wydanie tomu w przekładzie Marzeny Borejczuk –  Quello che non c’è (Nottetempo, 2021). Analiza ilościowa przykładów wyekscerpowanych z polsko-włoskiego korpusu wykazała znaczną przewagę użyć myślnika w języku polskim (znak pojawił się ponad dziesięciokrotnie częściej w polskiej części materiału). Analiza jakościowa pozwoliła wyodrębnić zastosowane w przekładzie techniki: rozwiązania polegające na odwołaniu się do innych znaków interpunkcyjnych (przecinka, dwukropka i wielokropka), modyfikacje na poziomie leksyki (uzupełnienie tekstu o informacje, których nośnikiem jest w polszczyźnie myślnik) i składni (wprowadzenie dodatkowych podziałów syntaktycznych, zmiana szyku zdania). Przeprowadzona analiza i płynące z niej wnioski mogą być podstawą do dalszych badań kontrastywnych nad interpunkcją, a także przyczynkiem do uzupełnienia dydaktyki języków obcych o zagadnienia związane z przestankowaniem.

Translating Semiotic “Polyphony” of Texts as a Culture-Formative Creation
Authors: Squillace Caterina
Published: December 2021

“The Master and Margarita” is generally considered Mikhail Bulgakov’s literary masterpiece. It is a “melting pot” of literary genres, motives, themes, imagery and intertextual references. All these elements cooperate in creating a “polyphonic” novel, in Bakhtin’s sense of the word, not only when it comes to the different nature and “voice” of single characters but also with reference to the “poly-structured” construction of the text itself. The paper will illustrate the peculiarity of Bulgakov’s novel and the semiotic and semiosic character of his creation. The adjective “semiosic” derives from “semiosis” as defined, among others, by C.S. Peirce, who stresses the meaning-making “power” of some semiotic processes. The paper aims also at answering the question why this novel has been translated several times into Polish and Italian since 1967 (when the first edition of the novel was published in Western Europe). Due to the very specific construction of the plot and of the formal aspects of the novel, translators had to deal with a significant number of problems of “untranslatability” that they could solve only by using their creative potential. It was Roman Jakobson who through his linguistic analysis reached the conclusion that for the untranslatable—poetry for example—“Only creative transposition is possible”. Using creativity translators were also able to discover further interpretations of Bulgakov’s literary work and to perform a culture-formative act as their efforts offer new points of view on reality and its perception, wider knowledge of the social life not only in Soviet times but in a more universal perspective as well as new models of text and literariness. That’s why a novel like Bulgakov’s masterpiece has been translated so many times and it is still translated in the two languages selected for the purposes of this research and all over the world. And this is also the reason why it can be considered a meaning-generative and culture-formative text even if its first edition appeared in 1940.
O O GARANTISMO E A INGERÊNCIA DO ESTADO NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO DOS BENS TEMPORAIS DA IGREJA CATÓLICA E DE ASSOCIAÇÕES RELIGIOSAS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO
Authors:   Universidade de Fortaleza (Brasil), De Oliveira Marques Francisco Junior , Araruna Santiago Nestor Eduardo
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo se propone analizar la intervención estatal en la administración de los bienes temporales de asociaciones civiles con fines religiosos y de entidades religiosas católicas desde una visión garantista. El Ministerio Público de Goiás (MPGO) realizó una investigación en la Diócesis de Formosa en 2018, y en la Asociación Hijos del Padre Eterno (AFIPE), en 2020. En las operaciones del MPGO, denominadas Caifás y Vendilhões, se investigaron varias sospechas de conductas ilícitas, relacionando esas entidades con organizaciones criminales. El texto se detiene en la relación entre el garantismo y la actuación del MPGO en esas operaciones, reafirmando el papel del Estado constitucional de derecho que tiende a constituir una forma de gobierno de las leyes, en la que los poderes públicos están regulados y limitados por la ley para proteger a los individuos y a las entidades privadas. De aquí surge la pregunta: ¿el ejercicio del MPGO siguió los cánones garantistas, desde el punto de vista de los axiomas desarrollados por Luigi Ferrajoli? La metodología es bibliográfica, documental, de carácter explicativo, cualitativo y de naturaleza teórica. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que el MPGO no ha respetado los fundamentos garantistas del Estado constitucional, perjudicando acuerdos internacionales, principios constitucionales y el ordenamiento jurídico estatutario.
EL SENTIDO RELIGIOSO DE LA VIDA APORTES AL DEBATE CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Silva Soler Joaquín
Published: December 2021

En los últimos años Chile ha vivido procesos sociales y políticos de gran importancia. Entre ellos destaca el estallido social del año 2019 y el plebiscito del año 2020 en el que el 78% de los votantes expresó su acuerdo a la redacción de una nueva constitución, y a que esta fuera elaborada por una Convención Constituyente elegida especialmente para estos efectos. En los próximos años, el futuro de Chile estará en gran parte condicionado por este proceso constituyente y por la nueva Constitución que resulte de él. Entre las tantas cuestiones que serán objeto de diálogo y deliberación está la pregunta por el lugar de la religión en la nueva constitución. Al respecto, este artículo propone una reflexión de una cuestión antecedente a las definiciones jurídico-constitucionales; a saber, una reflexión sobre la cuestión del sentido religioso de la vida. Sin esta reflexión, la deliberación se podría circunscribir a la incorporación, o no, de determinados derechos, como la libertad religiosa, de culto y de educación, entre otros, sin atender antes a las razones por las cuales dicha discusión es importante en el proceso constituyente. Después de una introducción, el artículo propone pensar la religión en cinco niveles distintos: la religión en su dimensión existencial; la religión en su dimensión antropológica; la religión como dimensión trascendental; la religión en su dimensión política; y, finalmente, una consideración de la religión en su dimensión estratégica. Para concluir, el artículo deriva algunas consecuencias de la atención a estas cinco dimensiones del sentido religioso de la vida.
Water–Solid Interface Engineering Stabilizes K‐Birnessite Cathode

Published: December 2021

Crystal water mediated ion hydration and transport is a fundamental physicochemical process in a wide range of applications and natural processes, such as crystal water containing battery materials. In this context, K‐Birnessite with interlaminar H2O (K0.21MnO2⋅0.31H2O) is reported for nonaqueous potassium‐ion storage with enhanced capacity and rate performance. It is clarified that the water–solid interface plays an important role in building and stabilizing the K‐Birnessite layered structure and facilitating the K+ diffusion for the K‐ion battery system. In addition to the enlarged ionic channel dimensions and effective shielding of the electrostatic interaction with K+, the concerted diffusion of K+/H2O with the rotation of H2O molecules is further revealed to account for the quite low activation energies by first‐principles simulations. Moreover, the interlayer H2O exerts on the electronic structures, and thus on the electrochemical voltage to result in the competition between the split of crystal field (“∇JT”) and the electronic superexchange interaction (“Ow‐K‐O”) in the K‐Birnessite structure.

Hydrogel bioadhesion technology has offered unprecedented opportunities in minimally‐invasive surgeries, which are routinely performed to reduce postoperative complication, recovery time, and patient discomfort. Existing hydrogel‐based adhesives are challenged either by their inherent weak adhesion under wet and dynamic conditions, or potential immunological side‐effects, especially for synthetic hydrogel bioadhesives. Here, a kind of synthetic hydrogel bioadhesives from a variety of polymer precursors are reported, featuring instant formation of tough biointerface, allowing for wet and robust adhesion with highly dynamic biological tissues. Moreover, by getting rid of monomers during the hydrogel fabrication, these hydrogel adhesives do not cause any inflammatory response during the in vivo wound sealing, promising for immediate vascular defects repairing and surgical hemostasis. Additionally, they could also serve as human–electronics interfacing materials, enabling bioelectronics implantation for real‐time physiological and clinical monitoring.

Heart valves have extraordinary fatigue resistance which beat ≈3 billion times in a lifetime. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) made from fixed heteroplasm that are incrementally used in heart valve replacement fail to sustain the expected durability due to thrombosis, poor endothelialization, inflammation, calcification, and especially mechanical damage induced biocompatibility change. No effective strategy has been reported to conserve the biological properties of BHV after long‐term fatigue test. Here, a double‐network tough hydrogel is introduced, which interpenetrate and anchor into the matrix of decellularized porcine pericardium (dCell‐PP) to form robust and stable conformal coatings and reduce immunogenicity. The ionic crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) network mimics the glycocalyx on endothelium which improves antithrombosis and accelerates endothelialization; the chemical crosslinked hydrophilic polyacrylamide (PAAm) network further enhances antifouling properties and strengthens the shielding hydrogels and their interaction with dCell‐PP. In vitro and rabbit ex vivo shunt assay demonstrate great hemocompatibility of polyacrylamide/HA hydrogel hybrid PP (P/H‐PP). Cell experiments and rat subcutaneous implantation confirm satisfactory endothelialization, biocompatibility, and anticalcification properties. For hydrodynamic experiment, P/H‐PP gains full mark at different flow conditions and sustains excellent biomechanical and biological properties after 200 000 000 cycles. P/H double‐network hydrogel armoring dCell‐PP is a promising progress to extend BHV durability for clinical implantation therapy.

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels hold promise for in vivo applications but induce a foreign body response (FBR). While macrophages are key in the FBR, many questions remain. This study investigates temporal changes in the transcriptome of implant‐associated monocytes and macrophages. Proinflammatory pathways are upregulated in monocytes compared to control monocytes but subside by day 28. Macrophages are initially proinflammatory but shift to a profibrotic state by day 14, coinciding with fibrous capsule emergence. Next, this study assesses the origin of macrophages responsible for fibrous encapsulation using wildtype, C‐C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2)–/– mice that lack recruited macrophages, and Macrophage Fas‐Induced Apoptosis (MaFIA) mice that enable macrophage ablation. Subpopulations of recruited and tissue‐resident macrophages are identified. Fibrous encapsulation proceeds in CCR2–/– mice similar to wildtype mice. However, studies in MaFIA mice indicate that macrophages are necessary for fibrous capsule formation. These findings suggest that macrophage origin impacts the FBR progression and provides evidence that tissue‐resident macrophages and not the recruited macrophages may drive fibrosis in the FBR to PEG hydrogels. This study demonstrates that implant‐associated monocytes and macrophages have temporally distinct transcriptomes in the FBR and that profibrotic pathways associated with macrophages may be enriched in tissue‐resident macrophages.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is involved in fundamental cellular processes and pathological progression of many diseases. While most research and current knowledge focuses on the processes of biological and mechanical changes in ECM signaling residing cancer cells to respond, little is known of the converse–of how cancer cells initiate the changes of ECM properties. Here, it is reported that blocking the cancer cell signaling leads to disruption of tumor ECM. Using recombinant proteins (RPs) and recombinant protein‐drug conjugates (RPDCs) that simultaneously target both epidermal growth factor receptor and integrin, it is demonstrated that multireceptor‐mediated active modulation of tumor ECM can inhibit and even reverse tumor remodeling of the physiological and structural microenvironment. These results not only provide insights into the regulatory roles of cancer cells in developing a protumoral microenvironment, but also introduce a new therapeutic platform or strategy to treat cancers.
Detection of H2O2 with Hygroscopic Insulator Organic Thin Film Transistor

Published: December 2021

Hygroscopic insulator field effect transistors (HIFETs) are a class of solid‐state, low‐voltage organic thin film transistors with promising sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). While work has progressed on the development and understanding of HIFET‐based sensors, important questions regarding the fundamental H2O2 sensing mechanisms need to be fully investigated. In this work, a detailed study of the effects of H2O2 on the transient drain currents and transfer characteristics of HIFETs, while varying analyte concentrations and device voltages, is presented. The sensing mechanism is found to be consistent with the direct oxidation of the organic semiconductor channel, poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl), by H2O2 diffused into the device through the permeable top gate electrode and hygroscopic insulator. Further, the importance of having a transistor structure in sensing H2O2, as compared to a two‐terminal device, is demonstrated. These results represent important progress in the understanding of HIFET‐based sensors, revealing paths for future applications and optimization.

Alternating current‐driven electroluminescent (ACEL) devices have recently emerged as a potential candidate for next‐generation smart lighting, stretchable displays, and wearable electronics. Herein, a simple and efficient method is developed to fabricate high brightness, chromatic‐stable, and stretchable white ACEL devices through doping wide‐spectrum yellow photoluminescent phosphor into blue electroluminescent emissive layer. By tuning the ratio of electroluminescent to photoluminescent phosphors in the emissive layer, the optimized device achieved a maximum brightness of 3150 cd m−2 for white emission with Commison Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.28, 0.34), and manifested a more stable chromaticity than traditional ACEL devices. Moreover, a digital display and stretchable white ACEL device (with a tensile strain of 150%) are demonstrated to show the generality of this approach. The high brightness white ACEL devices proposed in this work offer a simplified architecture with facile fabrication process and large‐area compatibility, which may find broad range of applications in wearable optoelectronics.
