LA PERCEPCIÓN DE LOS VISITANTES SOBRE LA GESTIÓN SOSTENIBLE DEL TURISMO EN DESTINOS DE NATURALEZA. ESTUDIO DE CASO EN EL PARQUE NACIONAL GALÁPAGOS (ECUADOR)
Authors: Rivera Mateos Manuel , Mendoza Montesdeoca Iván
Published: December 2022

This work is based on the confluence of two lines of research that are well established in the scientific literature on protected natural areas: social participation in studies on tourism and the construction of systems of sustainability indicators in nature destinations. With the application of a survey of visitors to the Galapagos National Park (Ecuador) and the use of proven indicators, the strengths and weaknesses of its tourism management have been identified and valued to incorporate this knowledge into decision-making through participation processes. The gaze of visitors turns out to be relevant and complementary in the governance of this space, given that tourism causes transformations in its natural environment, given the circumstance that its quality attributes constitute one of the main comparative advantages of it. Galapagos National Park’s mostly urban demand seeks a satisfactory global experience identified with the authenticity, uniqueness, and quality of its environmental and sociocultural environment, while there is a dilemma between the harmonization of a leisure space for visitors and the need to promote local development in which traditional activities are increasingly less viable.

Este trabajo parte de la confluencia de dos líneas de investigación muy consolidadas en la literatura científica sobre espacios naturales protegidos: la participación social en los estudios sobre turismo y la construcción de sistemas de indicadores de sostenibilidad en destinos de naturaleza. Con la aplicación de una encuesta a visitantes del P.N. Galápagos (Ecuador) y la utilización de indicadores contrastados se han identificado y valorado los puntos fuertes y débiles de su gestión turística para incorporar este conocimiento en la toma de decisiones a través de procesos de participación. La mirada de los visitantes resulta ser relevante y complementaria en la gobernanza de este espacio, dado que el turismo provoca transformaciones en su medio natural de dimensión y alcance diversos, dándose la circunstancia de que sus atributos de calidad constituyen una de las principales ventajas comparativas del mismo. Su demanda mayoritariamente urbana busca una experiencia satisfactoria global identificada con la autenticidad, singularidad y calidad de su entorno ambiental y sociocultural, al tiempo que se produce un dilema entre la armonización de un espacio de ocio para los visitantes y la necesidad de impulsar un desarrollo local en el que las actividades tradicionales son cada vez menos viables.
Heideggers Paulus-reception
Authors: Bruun Lars K.
Published: December 2022

Heideggers analyse svarer i store træk til den aktuelle bibelvidenskabs opfattelse af den paulinske parænese som en påmindelse til menighederne om det, de allerede godt ved. Paulus’ breve er frem for alt parænese, og Paulus’ teologi udspringer af situationen. Men der er hos Heidegger tillige tale om en filosofisk bestræbelse, der vedrører fuldbyrdelsen eller aktualiseringen af en viden, der ikke lader sig erkende endsige formidle
Maria Magdalene som symbol i et mandligt fortælleunivers
Authors: Müller Lisbet Kjær
Published: December 2022

De sene apokryfe evangelier viser en strid mellem Maria Magdalene på den ene side og apostlen Peter på den anden. I menighederne, hvor disse apokryfe skrifter er blevet til, blev det fastholdt, at budskabet gik gennem Maria til disciplene. I øvrigt afspejler teksterne de vanskeligheder, der var forbundet med, at det var en kvinde, der var mediator, idet kvinden religiøst set er stemplet på grund af Evas ursynd, da hun lokkede Adam med i faldet
Landliv og livsvilkår Galilæas socio-økonomiske situation i det første århundrede
Authors: Jensen Morten Hørning
Published: December 2022

De socio-økonomiske forhold i det landlige Galilæa i det første århundrede undergik ikke en radikal forværring, men snarere var præget af en stabil eller jævnt stigende udvikling. Den udnyttelse og sociale ulighed, vi støder på allerede i traditioner i GT, gjorde sig dog også gældende i Galilæa, så der var rigeligt at påtale for en ’social profet’

Esters bøger. Tekstvarianter som rewritten scripture
Authors: Holt Else K.
Published: December 2022

Artiklen diskuterer forskellene i teologi og persontegning mellem den hebraiske (MT) og de græske (Septuaginta og Alpha-teksten) udgaver af Esters bog, sådan som de kommer til udtryk gennem omarbejdelsen og tilføjelserne til den hebraiske Esters bog. De græske versioner giver gennemgående en mere fyldig og psykologiserende fremstilling af hovedpersonerne, og tilføjelsen af Mordokajs vision og dennes tolkning (TilfEst A og F) ændrer på balancen mellem Ester og Mordokaj og gør Mordokaj til en profetisk seer på linje med Josef og Daniel. Endelig peges på genskrivningens nødvendighed for Esterbogens overlevelse som autoritativ litteratur i den antikke jødedom

The success of forest rehabilitation initiatives depends on community engagement; thus, it is important to understand community opinions toward forest rehabilitation initiatives. However, the available literature is sparse, as most research focuses on forest rehabilitation research, frequently only on planting performance. We scrutinized residents' opinions of the forest rehabilitation initiative using the extended Theory of Planned Behavior framework variables, i.e., behavior (B), behavioral intention (BI), attitude toward behavior (ATB), perceived behavioral control (PBC), subjective norm (SN), moral norm (MN), perceived risk (PR), and self-identity (SI). Those factors were used to cluster residents into various groups using the k-means clustering method. 307 completed questionnaires were obtained. We found that residents were clustered into two distinctive groups: active supporters (AS) and passive supporters (PS). PS was dominant in the community (61.9%). They were characterized by less agreement in perceiving the adverse impacts of forest degradation, less intent and engagement in forest rehabilitation programs. In contrast, AS was more receptive to forest rehabilitation initiatives. These results confirm that residents are heterogeneous in opinions and interest in forest rehabilitation initiatives. Therefore, forest managers should design effective policies and alternative approaches to ensure the success of forest rehabilitation programs based on those distinctive groups.
How do the Customary Forest and Protected Forest Management Principles affect Ambon City Protected Forest Management between the Government and Indigenous Peoples? (Case in the Mount Sirimau Protection Forest Group, Ambon City, Maluku Province)

Protection forests are state forests that are authorized by the government to be managed, but on the other hand, indigenous peoples already exist and manage forests that are claimed as customary forest. How is the management of protection forests between the government and indigenous peoples? The purpose of this study is to examine the management of protection forests between the government and indigenous peoples and the collaboration in the management of protection forests between the two. The results showed that the management of protection forests by the government was not optimal at the site level based on the principles of protection forest management that had only been done with boundaries: only area boundaries, not blocks and plots, forest protection such as area patrols, installation of prohibition boards and appeals) and land rehabilitation (planting with woody plant species and multi-purpose trees. Protected forest management by indigenous peoples has touched the site level on several aspects of protected forest management principles. Protected management activities by indigenous peoples following the principles of protected forest management are the cultivation of fruit plants, land use with dusung/traditional agroforestry cropping patterns, forest protection is prohibited from cutting trees at water sources, along riverbanks, replanting if cutting fruit trees that are not productive, utilizing non-timber forest products. The government as the planner but implementing it in the field is the indigenous people who are accompanied by the government and joint monitoring and evaluation. Protected forest management based on the principle of protected forest management is more optimally carried out in a collaborative and complementary manner between the government and indigenous peoples.
Social Technologies for Broadcasting the Image of the State
Authors: Shmygin Vladislav Andreevich , Shultz Vladimir Leopoldovich
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the relevant social technologies in the process of constructing and broadcasting the image of the country. The theoretical basis of the concept of social technologies is described, the essence of which is revealed through social knowledge. The role of a researcher of social technologies who has social knowledge and takes the position of a social consultant in matters of designing and broadcasting the image of the state is considered. The authors consider the technologies of formation and translation of the stock of knowledge about the state on the example of socio-political practice – real cases. The authors analyze the main technological approaches affecting the image of the state: correction of historical memory, "Soft power". The main conclusions of this article are the provisions that the use of the "Soft Power" technological approach in the context of broadcasting the image of the state is relevant at the moment, since it allows to broadcast ideas related to the worldview characteristic of the Russian public consciousness. The universal nature of "soft power" allows to spread ideas – social phenomena that affect the construction of the image. At the same time, the issue of correcting historical memory remains important, which is also a relevant social technology. The historical process in the minds of individuals can acquire additional interpretations, which leads to changes in individuals' perceptions of the historical process and the transformation of attitudes to the history of the state and, accordingly, its image.
The evolution and biological correlates of hand preferences in anthropoid primates
Authors: Caspar Kai R , Pallasdies Fabian , Mader Larissa , Sartorelli Heitor , Begall Sabine
Published: December 2022

The evolution of human right-handedness has been intensively debated for decades. Manual lateralization patterns in non-human primates have the potential to elucidate evolutionary determinants of human handedness, but restricted species samples and inconsistent methodologies have so far limited comparative phylogenetic studies. By combining original data with published literature reports, we assembled data on hand preferences for standardized object manipulation in 1786 individuals from 38 species of anthropoid primates, including monkeys, apes, and humans. Based on that, we employ quantitative phylogenetic methods to test prevalent hypotheses on the roles of ecology, brain size, and tool use in primate handedness evolution. We confirm that human right-handedness represents an unparalleled extreme among anthropoids and found taxa displaying population-level handedness to be rare. Species-level direction of manual lateralization was largely uniform among non-human primates and did not strongly correlate with any of the selected biological predictors, nor with phylogeny. In contrast, we recovered highly variable patterns of hand preference strength, which show signatures of both ecology and phylogeny. In particular, terrestrial primates tend to display weaker hand preferences than arboreal species. These results challenge popular ideas on primate handedness evolution, including the postural origins hypothesis. Furthermore, they point to a potential adaptive benefit of disparate lateralization strength in primates, a measure of hand preference that has often been overlooked in the past. Finally, our data show that human lateralization patterns do not align with trends found among other anthropoids, suggesting that unique selective pressures gave rise to the unusual hand preferences of our species.
Changes in Medicolegal Autopsy Rates in Korea between 2016 and 2020
Authors: Park Jong-Pil , Kim Kiha
Published: December 2022

A medicolegal autopsy is usually performed to determine the cause and manner of death based on judicial or administrative directives applicable in cases of unusual deaths. Social interest in medicolegal autopsies is increasing in recent times. In this study, we investigated medicolegal autopsy rates in Korea and compared these with rates reported by other countries. We obtained data regarding autopsies performed between 2016 and 2020 from the relevant institutions. We calculated the autopsy rate using mortality data from Statistics Korea. The number of medicolegal autopsies performed increased from 8,382 in 2016 to 9,308 in 2020, with an annual increase in numbers. The medicolegal autopsy rate of total deaths increased from 2.98% in 2016 to 3.05% in 2020, and the medicolegal autopsy rates of unusual deaths increased from 12.45% to 13.12% during the same period. However, it repeated an increase and a decrease by year during the study period. In conclusion, the numbers of medicolegal autopsies performed in Korea have been increasing since 2016; however, the medicolegal autopsy rate has been maintained.

Published: December 2022

Deaths due to dichloromethane (DCM) poisoning are mainly caused due to accidents at industrial sites, and suicidal cases are known to be rare. Herein, we report a case of a 56-year-old man who worked as a technician and died after consuming DCM for suicidal motive. According to the investigations, he had left a recorded message on his phone for his wife, which suggested he committed suicide. At the scene, opened DCM and whiskey bottles were found; approximately 120 mL of the DCM was still in the bottle. No specific injuries were externally observed during the autopsy. Microscopic examination showed denudation of epithelium in the esophageal and gastric mucosa, and no inflammatory reaction proceeded. The denudation was accompanied by pulmonary edema, acute tubular necrosis in the kidneys, and microvesicular steatosis in the liver. The DCM was detected in blood, gastric contents, and nasal cavity fluid. The concentration of alcohol in the blood was found to be 0.487%. It was presumed that he died of acute DCM poisoning while drunk. In cases of suspicious acute and chronic DCM poisoning deaths, investigations of carboxyhemoglobin and the clinical chemistry of blood or body fluids are warranted to determine the cause and mechanism of death.
Fatal Nitrite Intoxication by Pickling Salt: Four Autopsy Cases
Authors: Ha Hongil , Kim Min Kyoung , Moon Sungmin , Kang Minji
Published: December 2022

Pickling salt, also known as curing salt, is a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium nitrite, which is used for color agent and a means to facilitate food preservation. Recently, online purchase of pure sodium nitrite has been restricted, and pickling salts have been used as replacements in cases of suicidal nitrite intoxication. From November 2020 to December 2021, there were four autopsy cases of nitrite poisoning caused by pickling salt, and 10 autopsy cases of nitrite poisoning by pure sodium nitrite. Due to the low nitrite concentration in pickling salts, serum nitrite and nitrate concentration, and methemoglobin levels were relatively low in pickling salts cases. Especially, low methemoglobin levels may cause confusion in the postmortem diagnosis of fatal nitrite intoxication, so caution is required.
Undergraduate Education in Forensic Medicine in Germany, Japan, and Korea
Authors: Huh Gi Yeong
Published: December 2022

Germany, Japan, and Korea have a similar medicolegal death investigation system, the so-called European style, governed by prosecutors for crime investigation and brought into Korea through Japan from Germany. In this system, all physicians must be engaged in postmortem external examination and issue a death certificate for unnatural death. Therefore, education in forensic medicine should be provided to medical students to ensure the ability to determine the cause of death and the manner of death after graduation. However, the quality of undergraduate education in forensic medicine is known to be unsatisfactory in Korea because there is no well-organized nation-based education policy. This study aims to review significant features of the education system for forensic medicine in Germany, Japan, and Korea. Related laws and regulations, standard curriculum, and incorporation of forensic medicine in medical license examination are comparatively analyzed. In conclusion, the Korean education system in forensic medicine has a weak structure for achieving competency in postmortem external examination, while Germany and Japan have sustained relatively concrete frameworks. Practical approaches are proposed for improving education quality, including incorporating forensic medicine into compulsory assessment in the medical licensing examination.
Homologous point transformer for multi-modality prostate image registration
Authors: Ruchti Alexander , Neuwirth Alexander , Lowman Allison K. , Duenweg Savannah R. , LaViolette Peter S. , Bukowy John D.
Published: December 2022

Registration is the process of transforming images so they are aligned in the same coordinate space. In the medical field, image registration is often used to align multi-modal or multi-parametric images of the same organ. A uniquely challenging subset of medical image registration is cross-modality registration—the task of aligning images captured with different scanning methodologies. In this study, we present a transformer-based deep learning pipeline for performing cross-modality, radiology-pathology image registration for human prostate samples. While existing solutions for multi-modality prostate image registration focus on the prediction of transform parameters, our pipeline predicts a set of homologous points on the two image modalities. The homologous point registration pipeline achieves better average control point deviation than the current state-of-the-art automatic registration pipeline. It reaches this accuracy without requiring masked MR images which may enable this approach to achieve similar results in other organ systems and for partial tissue samples.
An integrated route planning approach for driverless vehicle delivery system
Authors: Li Tianyang , He Zhangyi , Wu Yanling
Published: December 2022

With the rapid growth of express delivery in urban areas, the use of driverless vehicles as an alternative to traditional human delivery can reduce costs and improve efficiency. The route planning of driverless vehicles is crucial in realizing autonomous navigation, which improves the working level and ensures improvements in efficiency. However, it is difficult to reasonably organize the real-time delivery, taking into account several factors that influence the planning of routes, such as load capabilities, power limits and traffic conditions. To deal with this concern, we propose an integrated approach including a multistage model and improved genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal delivery plan for driverless vehicles. The experimental results in an urban scenario with a realistic delivery service show the superiority of our proposition in the delivery efficiency.

Published: December 2022

Background

Cocoa is an important tropical tree crop that is mainly cultivated in agroforestry systems (AFS). This system, known as cabruca in northeastern Brazil, holds promise to reconcile biodiversity conservation and economic development. However, since cocoa AFS alters forest structure composition, it can affect litter dynamics in riparian zones and streams. Thus, our objective was to determine litter inputs and standing stocks in riparian zones and streams under three types of forest: managed cocoa AFS, abandoned cocoa AFS, and secondary forest.

Methods

We determined terrestrial litter fall (TI), vertical (VI) and lateral (LI) litter inputs to streams, and litter standing stocks on streambeds (BS) in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. Litter was collected every 30 days from August 2018 to July 2019 using custom-made traps. The litter was dried, separated into four fractions (leaves, branches, reproductive organs, and miscellaneous material) and weighed.

Results

Terrestrial litter fall was similar in all forests, ranging from 89 g m−2 month−1 in secondary forest (SF) to 96 g m−2 month−1 in abandoned cocoa AFS (AC). Vertical input were higher in AC (82 g m−2 month−1) and MC (69 g m−2 month−1) than in SF (40 g m−2 month−1), whereas lateral input were higher in MC (43 g m−2 month−1) than in AC (15 g m−2 month−1) and SF (24 g m−2 month−1). Standing stocks followed the order SF > AC > MC, corresponding to 425, 299 and 152 g m−2. Leaves contributed most to all litter fractions in all forests. Reproductive plant parts accounted for a larger proportion in managed AFS. Branches and miscellaneous litter were also similar in all forests, except for higher benthic standing stocks of miscellaneous litter in the SF. Despite differences in the amounts of litter inputs and standing stocks among the forests, seasonal patterns in the abandoned AFS (AC) were more similar to those of the secondary forest (SF) than the managed AFS, suggesting potential of abandoned AFS to restore litter dynamics resembling those of secondary forests.

Published: December 2022

Introduction

Handball is a team sport whose performance depends on a large number of factors. The objectives of the present study were to analyze the differences in physical performance, kinanthropometric variables, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), in handball players according to sports category, as well as the possible relationships between these variables.

Methods

One hundred and thirty-three male handball players (35 infant; 46 cadets; 26 juniors and 26 seniors players) underwent a kinanthropometric analysis following the ISAK protocol, self-completed the KIDMED questionnaire, and their physical condition was evaluated with different physical tests.

Results

Significant differences (p < 0.001–0.007) were found between the sports categories in most of the physical condition variables and anthropometric characteristics, but not in the degree of adherence to the MD. The predominant level of adherence to the MD was medium (47.4%), followed by good (42.1%), and correlated with the body mass, the height, the BMI, the muscle mass and the ∑3-girths sum corrected, but not with physical test results. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that the fat mass and muscle mass variables had a more specific weight in the results of the physical fitness tests.

Conclusions

There are differences according to sports category in kinanthropometric characteristics and physical fitness tests in adolescent handball players. The predominant degrees of adherence to the MD were medium and good. A relationship was found between anthropometric characteristics and physical performance in handball players.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors that influence nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide among clinical nurses.Methods: The participants in this study were 200 clinical nurses working at hospitals in Korea. Data was collected from February 22, 2022 to March 18, 2022 through a structured online survey that included general characteristics, suicide literacy, attitudes towards suicide, social stigma toward suicidal people, and nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide. SPSS/WIN 25.0 program was used for data analysis, including a descriptive analysis, t-test, one way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression.Results: A higher level of suicide literacy (r=.36, p<.001) and attitudes towards suicide (r=.23, p<.001) were associated with higher nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide. The factors affecting nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide were suicide literacy (β=.38, p<.001) and attitudes towards suicide (β=.26, p<.001). This model showed a 18.0% explanation of nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide.Conclusion: It is necessary to develop an effective educational program and to establish an organizational system to improve the quality of nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to measure the influence of infection control fatigue and compassion competence on disaster nursing core competencies of nurses at COVID-19 designated hospitals.Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted among 128 nurses from two COVID-19 designated hospitals. Data were collected from June 1 to 14, 2022 and analyzed using the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS for Windows version 26.0.Results: Disaster nursing core competencies had a significant correlation with compassion competence (r=.50, p<.001), but not with infection control fatigue. Multiple regression analysis for disaster nursing core competencies revealed that the most powerful predictor was communication (β=.31, p<.001). Communication, insight and having children explained approximately 30% of the variance in disaster nursing core competencies.Conclusion: The compassion competence of nurses at COVID-19 designated hospitals was a major factor influencing disaster nursing competence. Communication was the most important sub-factor of compassion competence. It will be necessary to develop and implement a program to enhance nurses' compassion competence to improve nurses' disaster nursing core competencies.

Published: December 2022

A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 on clay loam soil at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla to study the direct and residual effect of integrated use of organics and inorganics on soil nutrient status under rice-sorghum cropping system. The results revealed that at all the growth stages of rice, the highest available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were recorded with the application of 100% RDF + 25% N through GLM (T8) and this was on par with T9 (100% RDF + 12.5% N through FYM + 12.5% N through GLM), T3 (125% RDF through inorganic fertilizers) and T7 (100% RDF + 25% N through FYM, whereas the highest available sulphur was recorded in  100% RDF + 25% N through GLM (T8) and it was on par with T9 (100% RDF + 12.5% N through FYM + 12.5% N through GLM) and T7 (100% RDF + 25% N through FYM during 2020 and 2021.  In succeeding sorghum, significantly highest soil available N, P2O5, K2O and sulphur were recorded in T9 (100% RDF + 12.5% N through FYM + 12.5% N through GLM) and it was on par with T8 (100% RDF + 25% N through GLM) and T7 (100% RDF + 25% N through FYM) during both the years of study. Irrespective of the treatments applied to rice crop, the sub plot that received 100% RDF (S3) in rabi recorded significantly highest soil available nutrients at all stages of crop which was on par with 75% RDF (S2) except available sulphur whereas increased NPK levels from 75% RDF (S2) to 100% RDF(S3) did not show any significant difference and lowest was recorded in control (S1) during both the years of study, respectively.

The study assessed the impact of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) on the performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study employed a mixed method approach. Three hundred and twenty manufacturing firms were used for the study. Closed and open-ended questionnaires were used. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyse the data on the impact of SSCM on the performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The statistics generated were organised in tables using IBM SPSS 26 and AMOS 25. The study revealed that the mean of the responses to the statements on environmental performance ranged from 4.422 to 4.574, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM strongly impacted the environmental performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The mean of the responses to the statements on economic performance ranged from 4.469 to 4.594, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM had a strong impact on the economic performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The mean of the responses to the statements on social performance ranged from 4.495 to 4.587, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM strongly impacted the social performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana.
Quantitative Risk Assessment for Salmonella in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Consumed in Benin, West Africa
Authors: Dabadé D. Sylvain , Coffi Vioutou E. C. , Azokpota Paulin
Published: December 2022

The present study aims at quantitatively assessing the risk associated with Salmonella in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) consumed in Benin (West Africa). To that end, a survey was conducted involving 550 respondents to determine the conditions under which the product is handled along the supply chain and its consumption pattern. The prevalence and concentration of Salmonella in lettuce were collected from the literature. The consumption data and the data on Salmonella concentrations in lettuce were combined to estimate the exposure to Salmonella using a probabilistic risk assessment method. The @Risk software package (Palisade USA) was used to run Monte Carlo simulations with 10,000 iterations. Three dose-response models were used to assess the risk of salmonellosis. Different scenarios were tested to identify factors that could influence the risk of salmonellosis. The results showed that lettuce is exposed to temperature abuse under inappropriate hygienic conditions. In 90% of the cases, the exposure to Salmonella was between 3 and 7 log CFU/serving. The risk of salmonellosis per serving varied from 7.7% to 95% depending on the dose-response used with the scenario taking into account the current handling conditions of the lettuce. In contrast, when considering the scenario where the cold chain is respected along the supply chain, the risk of salmonellosis varied from 0% to 3.3% depending on the dose response used. The study highlights the importance of the cold chain, good agricultural practices and good hygienic practices to reduce exposure to Salmonella through the consumption of lettuce and thus the risk of salmonellosis.

Importance

Observational studies have reported an association between the use of eye protection and reduced risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses, but, as with most infection control measures, no randomized clinical trials have been conducted.

Objectives

To evaluate the effectiveness of wearing glasses in public as protection against being infected with SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses.

Design, Setting, and Participants

A randomized clinical trial was conducted in Norway from February 2 to April 24, 2022; all adult members of the public who did not regularly wear glasses, had no symptoms of COVID-19, and did not have COVID-19 in the last 6 weeks were eligible.

Intervention

Wearing glasses (eg, sunglasses) when close to others in public spaces for 2 weeks.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was a positive COVID-19 test result reported to the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases. Secondary outcomes included a positive COVID-19 test result and respiratory infection based on self-report. All analyses adhered to the intention-to-treat principle.

Results

A total of 3717 adults (2439 women [65.6%]; mean [SD] age, 46.9 [15.1] years) were randomized. All were identified and followed up in the registries, and 3231 (86.9%) responded to the end of study questionnaire. The proportions with a reported positive COVID-19 test result in the national registry were 3.7% (68 of 1852) in the intervention group and 3.5% (65 of 1865) in the control group (absolute risk difference, 0.2%; 95% CI, −1.0% to 1.4%; relative risk, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.75-1.50). The proportions with a positive COVID-19 test result based on self-report were 9.6% (177 of 1852) in the intervention group and 11.5% (214 of 1865) in the control group (absolute risk difference, –1.9%; 95% CI, −3.9% to 0.1%; relative risk, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69-1.00). The risk of respiratory infections based on self-reported symptoms was lower in the intervention group (30.8% [571 of 1852]) than in the control group (34.1% [636 of 1865]; absolute risk difference, –3.3%; 95% CI, −6.3% to −0.3%; relative risk, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82-0.99).

Conclusions and Relevance

In this randomized clinical trial, wearing glasses in the community was not protective regarding the primary outcome of a reported positive COVID-19 test. However, results were limited by a small sample size and other issues. Glasses may be worth considering as one component in infection control, pending further studies.

Published: December 2022

While shapes and surface properties of nanomaterials are known to play important roles in defining their properties, it remains challenging to fine‐tune the morphologies systematically and predictably. Considering the extraordinary performance, prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) are selected as the proof‐of‐concept nanomaterials. Herein, a DNA‐dependence approach to fine‐control the morphology of PBNPs via electrostatic interaction‐mediated self‐assembly of inorganic ions and protonated DNA is developed. The regulation of different DNA on the morphology of PBNPs is systematically investigated. 30‐mer Oligo‐C or ‐T (C30/T30) mediates formation of flower‐like PBNPs (PB nanoflowers), whereas cubic structure with different sizes is observed in the presence of 10‐mer oligo‐G or 30‐mer Oligo‐A (G10/A30). Detailed mechanism studies indicate that the protonation of nucleobases is the key factor for the morphological evolution. C30‐dependent PB nanoflowers are superior to PB nanocubes in photothermal properties, peroxidase mimetic activity, photo‐Fenton catalytic performance, and light scattering property, which present 1.2‐, 3.78‐, 1.58‐, 1.93‐fold improvement, respectively. Furthermore, PB nanoflowers mediated by the diblock DNA (sDNA; comprising C30 and complementary strands of the target DNA) unexpectedly acquire biorecognition capabilities. This study opens a new avenue for the systematic and predictable synthesis of PB nanoflowers, which broadens the repertoire of PBNPs for catalysis, biosensing, and imaging.

The visual system, one of the most crucial units of the human perception system, combines the functions of multi‐wavelength signal detection and data processing. Herein, the large‐scale artificial synaptic device arrays based on the organic molecule‐nanowire heterojunctions with tunable photoconductivity are proposed and demonstrated. The organic thin films of p‐type 2,7‐dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2‐b][1] benzothiophene (C8‐BTBT) or n‐type phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) are used to wrap the InGaAs nanowire parallel arrays to configure two different type‐I heterojunctions, respectively. Due to the difference in carrier injection, persistent negative photoconductivity (NPC) or positive photoconductivity (PPC) are achieved in these heterojunctions. The irradiation with different wavelengths (solar‐blind to visible ranges) can stimulate the heterojunction devices, effectively mimicking the synaptic behaviors with two different photoconductivities. The long‐term and multi‐state light memory are also realized through synergistic photoelectric modulation. Notably, the arrays with different photoconductivities are adopted to build the hardware kernel for the visual system. Due to the tunable photoconductivity and response to multiple wavelengths, the recognition rate of neural networks can reach 100% with lower complexity and power consumption. Evidently, these photosynaptic devices are illustrated with retina‐like behaviors and capabilities for large‐area integration, which reveals their promising potential for artificial visual systems.

Published: December 2022

Ionic feature of halide perovskites may lead to the formation of defect states in the polycrystalline films, which can deteriorate the device performance. To solve this issue, a low‐temperature seed‐assisted growth method can contribute to defect‐passivated CsPbI1.2Br1.8 perovskite films by introducing CuInSe2 quantum dots (QDs). As a result, the migration channels inside perovskite grains can be obviously suppressed, but few positive effects on the ions migration in grain boundaries. Conversely, this appearance demonstrate that the location of CuInSe2 QDs is grain interior, but not grain boundary. Meanwhile, the lower defect density can help promoting device efficiency from 8.97% to 10.26%, which is among the high‐efficiency level. Besides, this work can also provide an in‐depth insight into the issue of photoinduced halide segregation.

Published: December 2022

The laser‐irradiated aerosolized nanostructures with complex geometries offer unique opportunities to steer orientation‐dependent photoion emission for multiple applications of directional ion sources and photocatalysis. The orientation‐dependent photoion emission is characterized by measuring the distribution and probability on differently oriented nanostructures. This unique capability is achieved by introducing momentum‐to‐space orientation discrimination in the single‐shot velocity map imaging technique with the aerodynamic lens. The effect of geometry, polarization, and concentration to control the photoion emission from differently oriented nanostructures is introduced for optimizing the potential applications of photoion emission including directional tunable nanoanode and optical sensors. The mechanism behind controlling the photoion emission is visualized by the variations in the regions of high laser intensity inside the nanostructures responding to the orientation, geometry, and polarization. This work represents an advance in characterizing the photoion emission from the randomly oriented aerosolized nanostructures and facilitates the potential for combining with the pump–probe methods to provide an intuitive understanding of their real‐time ionization dynamics.

1,3‐Dienes are prevalent substructures in biologically active molecules and versatile building blocks in synthetic chemistry. Herein, using Lewis acids promoted dual 1,3‐sulfur rearrangements, we developed an approach for the direct synthesis of 1,3‐dithianyl substituted dienes. This method enabled the synthesis of tri‐ and tetra‐substituted 1,3‐dienes with high stereoselectivity and good yield under mild reaction conditions.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of cancer. Its current first‐line postsurgery regimens are radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, both of which are DNA damage‐inducing therapies but show very limited efficacy and a high risk of resistance. There is an urgent need to develop novel agents to sensitize GBM to DNA‐damaging treatments. Here it is found that the triterpene compound stellettin B (STELB) greatly enhances the sensitivity of GBM to ionizing radiation and TMZ in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, STELB inhibits the expression of homologous recombination repair (HR) factors BRCA1/2 and RAD51 by promoting the degradation of PI3Kα through the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway; and the induced HR deficiency then leads to augmented DNA damage and cell death. It is further demonstrated that STELB has the potential to rapidly penetrate the blood‐brain barrier to exert anti‐GBM effects in the brain, based on zebrafish and nude mouse orthotopic xenograft tumor models. The study provides strong evidence that STELB represents a promising drug candidate to improve GBM therapy in combination with DNA‐damaging treatments.
