A Systematic Literature Review of Factors Affecting Succession Planning Implementation in Empirical Studies
Authors: Jahwari Abdullah Talib Al , Alwi Mohd Nur Ruzainy
Published: July 2023

Today’s businesses must devote significant resources to succession planning to guarantee the steady flow of new talent and the safekeeping of institutional knowledge. The goal of this paper is to analyse the results of empirical research on the implications of succession planning (SP), discover strategies employed by organisations, and recognise the factors that determine the implementation of succession planning, along with the potential issues and challenges that may arise. This literature review was structured using a systematic review methodology. Of a total of 259 publications, 32 that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were considered. The results show that most of the research was conducted in Western and developed Asian countries, whereas few studies have been published in the Middle East or among Arab countries. Moreover, the results show that most of the current studies ranged across several contexts, including healthcare, educational institutions, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), family businesses, and private sectors, with a limited focus on the public sector. The findings indicate that the availability of a talent pool, congruence with human resource (HR) activities, management buy-in, and organisational dedication is the most influential aspects of SP implementation.

Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is a common problem in daily clinical practice. However, completely understanding the pathophysiological changes in OJ remains a challenge for planning current and future management. The effects of OJ are widespread, affecting the biliary tree, hepatic cells, liver function, and causing systemic complications. The lack of bile in the intestine, destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increased absorption of endotoxins can lead to endotoxemia, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and induce systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ultimately leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Proper management of OJ includes adequate water supply and electrolyte replacement, nutritional support, preventive antibiotics, pain relief, and itching relief. The surgical treatment of OJ depends on the cause, location, and severity of the obstruction. Biliary drainage, surgery, and endoscopic intervention are potential treatment options depending on the patient's condition. In addition to modern medical treatments, Traditional Chinese medicine may offer therapeutic benefits for OJ. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed for relevant articles published up to August 1970. This review discusses in detail the pathophysiological changes associated with OJ and presents effective strategies for managing the condition.
¿Qué se esconde detrás de la magia de los cuentos de hadas clásicos? El caso de los cuentos del padre Donat Kurti, los hermanos Grimm, Perrault y Andersen
Authors: Dema Alma
Published: July 2023

Para trabajar con y para los niños y los jóvenes, es necesario ser conscientes de la calidad de la satisfacción que reciben y el grado de dificultad al que se puede enfrentar. Los niños siguen siendo las flores más hermosas en todos los prados, los campos y las montañas de la vida y poder influir en su forma de pensar, juzgar y actuar, sobre todo, es un desafío espiritual. La obra ¿Que se esconde detrás de la magia de los cuentos de hadas clásicos? pretende ser testigo de lo que ocurre tras bambalinas en el maravilloso y especial escenario, donde se representan los acontecimientos de los mejores cuentos de hadas clásicos. Se analizan algunos de los cuentos populares recogidos por el padre Donat Kurti, los hermanos Grimm, Perrault y los cuentos literarios de Andersen. El análisis descriptivo, comparativo y argumentativo intenta poner de relieve índices ocultos que de forma calculada (aunque no seamos conscientes de tal efecto) inyectan receptores nocivos en los niños y los jóvenes, quienes en una etapa posterior responden en forma de violencia verbal, física, falta de respeto, falta de autorrealización y problemas de identidad. Este trabajo pretende, además de la descripción, identificación, comparación y análisis, orientar y replantear una posible solución a esta problemática.

Published: July 2023

Se analizaron las concentraciones diarias de material particulado en el aire (PM) en la azotea de la Rectoría de la Universidad de Panamá, con una aspiradora ubicada a 90 metros sobre el nivel del mar.  Se recolectaron y analizaron muestras diarias desde enero de 2006 hasta diciembre de 2022, sumando un total de 6 209 datos. La curva de la concentración del material particulado (PM) versus el día del año es indicativa de una alta contaminación atmosférica diaria por partículas en suspensión.  La concentración diaria de PM, influenciada por factores meteorológicos, sugiere una clasificación en cuatro etapas anuales con comportamiento estacional, aunque con variabilidad significativa. Estas etapas son, la estación seca con comportamiento alotrópico, la de transición con decrecimiento diario lineal, dos etapas lluviosas una moderada y la otra intensa, las cuales, juntas poseen una variación senoidal.  Se encontró una alta correlación inversa de PM con la Humedad Relativa y con la precipitación y una correlación directa alta con la temperatura y la rapidez del viento y ningún tipo de correlación con la presión y la dirección del viento.  Esas altas correlaciones entre PM y la meteorología son indicadoras que las PM contribuyen al cambio climático.

Published: July 2023

Recent advances include understanding bone fragility's genetic and molecular basis and discovering acquired causes of pediatric osteoporosis. Genetic pediatric bone defects are common and morbid, causing osteoporosis. Due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and immobility, as well as the use of drugs like steroids that can damage bones, secondary osteoporosis in children is rising.  Early detection of osteoporosis in children is essential for diagnosis and treatment. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) scan for bone densitometry and vertebral fractures in pediatric osteoporosis patients. Pediatric osteoporosis requires a comprehensive team of bone disease specialists. A specialist should prevent and cure fragility fractures and improve patients' quality of life. Bisphosphonates, the most often recommended drugs for children, enhance BMD and restructure spinal fractures when given promptly. Raising awareness of osteoporosis risk factors, screening youngsters, and referring them to a specialist can detect silent fractures early and avoid bone degeneration. This article reviews childhood osteoporosis and its epidemiology. The global sickness classification and study program are briefly explained.

Published: July 2023

Application of technology for on-farm productivity enhancement is the major intervention besides meeting the other requirements like input supply, marketing, biotic and abiotic stresses. Further, to what extent farmers are involved in technology delivery process is another dimension of technology application. Farmers may be either the passive receiver of any technology of information, or they be be the active partners in planning, implementing and evaluating the interventions. In the first phase of the study, documentation and characterization of lentil based cropping systems, variety use pattern and existing yield level; comparison of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and non-lentil based cropping systems, constraint analysis and identification of need based and situation specific potential solutions were done. In the second phase of the study, the suggested solutions were translated and prioritized into meaningful interventions in the form of lentil variety demonstration; assessment of different technological components like weed management,fertilizer Â management, irrigation management and disease management in integrated crop management (ICM) mode and implemented for two cropping seasons of 2010-11 to 2011-12. Action research was, therefore, conducted among 965 lentil growers (389 ha area) selected from 35 districts across four states of India during 2010-11 to 2011-12. Yield gap II (37.65 - 54.39%) was found more prominent than the research gap or yield gap I (15.0 - 22.5 %) in selected states. The states of Uttar Pradesh (716 kg/ha), Bihar (629 kg/ha), Madhya Pradesh (619 kg/ha) and West Bengal (604 kg/ha) showed higher yield gap in lentil. Distinct lentil based existing cropping system and very poor level of yields was observed (as low as 300 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh to 932 kg/ha in some parts of Uttar Pradesh). Lentil based cropping systems (B: C ratio - 3.11-3.77) was economically efficient than non-lentil based cropping system (B:C ratio - 1.17 to 1.72). Assessment of improved lentil varieties and integrated crop management technologies resulted in higher gain both in yield (57.8%) and net return (87.8%), followed by improved variety (50.4% increase in yield and 82.2% higher net return) over the farmers' practices. Other technological components like weed management, fertilizer management, irrigation management and disease management contributed increase in yield (20-29%) and net returns (17-37%) over farmers' practices.

Local authorities at the forefront of climate policy
Authors: Pálvögyi Tamás , Kovács Lajos
Published: July 2023

Preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change depends fundamentally on local communities, whether in a large city or a small rural area. In many cases, activities, measures and interventions related to mitigation and adaptation are difficult to implement without social cooperation. Today, it is becoming increasingly clear that climate policy measures can be seen as a key to the future success of municipalities. In this paper, we review the strategic basis for municipal climate policies and present a case study of Hungary to illustrate how municipalities' decarbonization performance can be measured and evaluated. We then present a crucial element of climate adaptation at the municipal level, the vulnerability assessment of drought risk at the county level. We will analyse the municipal adaptation options and then review urban development projects' climate performance assessment methodology. In the context of municipal climate policy integration, we present a preliminary climate impact assessment methodology for municipal legal and strategic documents. Finally, in conclusion, we summarise the success factors of municipal climate strategies and make recommendations for the implementation of municipal climate strategies.

Alteridad y diferencia (s)
Authors: Glocer Fiorini Leticia
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es abordar el concepto de diferencia sexual frente a la presencia cada vez mayor en las sociedades contemporáneas de las denominadas diversidades sexuales y de género. Al constatar las aporías a las que conduce el pensamiento dualístico, binario, la autora propone la utilización de lógicas de la complejidad y de la multiplicidad para analizar las teorías sobre la diferencia sexual y sobre la polaridad masculino-femenino. Propone incluir el concepto de diferencia en una serie de variables que expresan otros registros de la diferencia, en un sentido simbólico. Esto permitiría analizar con mayor amplitud el acceso a la categoría diferencia en las diversidades sexuales y de género, sin encasillarlas apresuradamente en variantes psicopatológicas. Para esto, pone en relación los cuerpos, las identificaciones de género y el deseo, con el fin de analizar la construcción de subjetividad en sus intersecciones. En este marco, sostiene que no hay acceso a la diferencia sin reconocimiento de la alteridad. Ambas se determinan mutuamente, en forma recursiva.

Homossexualidade e perversão em psicanálise
Authors: Dall Agnol Leonardo Philippi Dall , Lisboa Carolina Saraiva de Macedo
Published: July 2023

A homossexualidade no entendimento da psicanálise passou por várias teorizações ao longo dos anos, possibilitando diferentes interpretações e compreensões, o que dificulta um entendimento linear e claro. Dessa forma, é necessário distinguir os diferentes conceitos da psicanálise acerca da sexualidade, a fim de distanciar sua expressão em relação às psicopatologias. Os manuais diagnósticos que se utilizaram de construtos teóricos psicanalíticos para a descrição de sinais e sintomas dos distúrbios mentais possibilitaram a associação entre a homossexualidade e a perversão. Isso colabora com práticas ilegais do exercício do psicólogo e legitima práticas de reversão sexual. A patologização das mais variadas formas de expressão da sexualidade, essa última sendo algo natural do ser humano, contribui para a estigmatização social, impulsionando formas de preconceito e violência e trazendo prejuízos emocionais.
Repensando Além do princípio do prazer
Authors: Sprinz Isacc
Published: July 2023

Este artigo é uma contribuição sobre a repercussão do texto Além do princípio do prazer sobre o desenvolvimento da metapsicologia psicanalítica em relação à teoria pulsional. A partir dessa obra, criaram-se as bases para outro entendimento sobre a agressividade, o sadismo e o masoquismo, que conduziram Freud a propor uma forma diferente de organizar as pulsões. Após um breve histórico de fatos que poderiam ter influenciado Freud numa mudança de pensamento, este artigo enfoca as convergências e as divergências provocadas, por esse texto complexo, em vários autores, especialmente no que tange à pulsão de morte e ao conceito de compulsão à repetição.

ateliê do psicanalista
Authors: Trachtenberg Renato
Published: July 2023

O autor parte do encontro mítico entre o bebê e a mãe, descrito como o conflito estético por D. Meltzer, para referir-se à fundação dos espaços públicos e privados na mente humana. As noções de mistério e segredo advindas desses espaços primordiais irão configurar, junto com os mesmos, as diferentes possibilidades de relação do sujeito com o mundo (interno e externo). Entre essas possibilidades se insere a relação do homem com os seus objetos estéticos, especialmente com a obra de arte. Contando com esse “instrumental”, o autor se refere a um espaço mental, por ele denominado ateliê, uma espécie de sala interna de análise, onde é gestado o sonho. Nessa dimensão estética da psicanálise, o próprio sonho, por sua vez, é um ateliê: espaço de geração e expansão da criatividade, lugar de misteriosos renascimentos.
A construção dos laços (ou vínculos) afetivos pais/filhos
Authors: Marty François
Published: July 2023

A construção dos laços afetivos entre pais e filhos não se limita a trocas interpessoais, mas inscreve os protagonistas dessa interação em um universo de sentidos que os depassam e os englobam. O registro do reconhecimento de si é o do simbólico. É ele que organiza as relações entre os indivíduos e lhes dá sentido. A identificação à função parental, a saída da adolescência e a entrada no mundo adulto: é assim o verdadeiro acesso à parentalidade. Na época da clonagem e da exaltação narcísica, a questão dos laços afetivos que unem e co-constróem os sujeitos são bem da atualidade. Se escolhemos apresentar a construção dos laços afetivos entre a criança e seus pais como uma história de referenciais; se, por vezes, insistimos em alguns componentes podendo parecer mais técnicos que poéticos, é no sentido de colocar em evidência a complexidade dessa construção que não se saberia reduzir a uma história de amor; mesmo se, como em toda construção de vínculos afetivos entre humanos, o amor e a capacidade de amar e de ser amado estiverem no coração desse processo.
Reflexões sobre a bissexualidade em Freud e Winnicott
Authors: Halperin Celso , Cervo Lisiane Milman , Milman Caroline , Ribeiro Astrid , Nogueira Eliane , Litvin Ester
Published: July 2023

O trabalho busca uma conexão entre a visão da bissexualidade na obra de Freud (em que o destaque é dado ao papel da repressão) e dos Elementos Masculinos e Femininos puros na obra de Winnicott (cujo alicerce está na dissociação). Em Winnicott, há um desenvolvimento da idéia da bissexualidade, para além da questão do gênero, atribuindo-lhe um novo sentido: o Elemento Feminino, vinculado à experiência de SER, e o Elemento Masculino, base para o FAZER. A partir desses referenciais, os autores procuram compreender esse modelo de pensamento adotado por Winnicott, em que haveria um estado psíquico de SER prévio à pulsão – o que questiona um dos paradigmas da psicanálise: o primado das pulsões.

Published: July 2023

Chiral plasmonics has been actively pursued since pushing its light‐matter interaction to an unnaturally extreme regime. Recently, chirality‐encoded metal–insulator–metal (MIM) motifs have promised compelling advantages in advancing chiroptic responses, as they enable a capacitive coupling and its resultant strong electric and magnetic resonances. However, the deterministic control over chiral MIM working at the visible regime is out of reach. Here, large‐area MIM resonators are demonstrated using non‐lithographically assembled chiral gold nanoparticles (helicoids) and subsequent gold layer deposition, and their boosted chiroptical responses at the visible regime are proven. The thickness of the topcoat Au and the dielectric gap can precisely tune the strength of capacitive coupling. The numerical analyses support that the optimally tuned capacitive coupling in the chiral MIM structure not only strengthens both electric and magnetic dipolar resonances but also makes their spectral positions closer to each other.

Published: July 2023

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are composed of five or more metal elements with similar proportions. Due to the electronic structure among metal elements, they have abundant active sites and have good catalytic activity and stability as materials. Therefore, they have great promise in electrochemical energy storage and electrocatalysis. This paper reviews the preparation and characterization methods of HEAs, and the applications of HEAs in catalysis, especially the contribution in lithium‐sulfur batteries, but also in Electrolyzed water and other energy storage materials. The challenges of HEAs in catalysis and their future developments are also presented.
Design of HDPE‐based nanocomposite with excellent thermal‐oxidative aging resistance, mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties: Dispersing nano‐ZnO assisted by natural rubber latex
Authors: Li Jinglin , Mou Wenjie , Zhu Jinxin , Hu Chaoqiang
Published: July 2023

Modification with nanoparticles is an effective way of overcoming the inherent defects of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). However, the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix is the key point of this method. Here, natural rubber latex (NRL) was used for the auxiliary dispersion of self‐made nano zinc oxide (nano‐ZnO) to realize the uniform dispersion of nano‐ZnO in HDPE. The HDPE‐based nanocomposite with excellent thermo‐oxidative aging resistance, mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties were successfully prepared. Three weight percent of nano‐ZnO was uniformly dispersed in HDPE (HLZ3), which not only synergistically toughened HDPE with natural rubber (coagulated natural rubber latex, NR), but also maintained the tensile strength of the matrix. Moreover, the interfacial interactions between nanoparticles and polymers improved the alternating current (AC) breakdown strength and volume resistivity of the HDPE matrix. After aging treatment, the crystallinity of HLZ3 decreased very little, and its carbonyl index was much smaller than that of pure HDPE. Therefore, it has the best performance retention rate. This nanoparticle dispersion method has certain reference significance. And this HDPE‐based nanocomposite material is expected to be used in the outer sheath of cables.
Multiple suppressing small interfering RNA for cancer treatment—Application to triple‐negative breast cancer
Authors: Lee Jaewook , Bang Jang Hyuk , Ryu Yeong Chae , Hwang Byeong Hee
Published: July 2023

Certain cancers, such as triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC), pose a challenging prognosis due to the absence of identifiable hormone‐related receptors and effective targeted therapies. Consequently, novel therapeutics are required for these cancers, offering minimal side effects and reduced drug resistance. Unexpectedly, siRNA‐7, initially employed as a control, exhibited significant efficacy in inhibiting cell viability in MDA‐MB‐231 cells. Through a genome‐wide search of seed sequences, the targets of siRNA‐7 were identified as cancer‐related genes, namely PRKCE, RBPJ, ZNF737, and CDC7 in MDA‐MB‐231 cells. The mRNA repression analysis confirmed the simultaneous suppression by siRNA‐7. Combinatorial administration of single‐targeting siRNAs demonstrated a comparable reduction in viability to that achieved by siRNA‐7. Importantly, siRNA‐7 selectively inhibited cell viability in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, while normal HDF‐n cells remained unaffected. Furthermore, in a xenograft mouse model, siRNA‐7 exhibited a remarkable 76% reduction in tumor volume without any loss in body weight. These findings position siRNA‐7 as a promising candidate for a novel, safe, specific, and potent TNBC cancer therapeutic. Moreover, the strategy of multiple suppressing small interfering RNA holds potential for the treatment of various diseases associated with gene overexpression.

Published: July 2023

Objectives

Aortic stenosis (AS) is characterized by obstruction of blood outflow from the left ventricle, which can impair target organ perfusion such as the brain. We hypothesized that hemodynamic changes in AS may lead to dysfunction of cerebral blood flow regulatory mechanisms. The aim of our study was to evaluate neurovascular coupling in patients with AS by Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.

Methods

Neurovascular coupling was assessed using visually evoked cerebral blood flow velocity responses (VEFR) calculated as relative blood flow velocity changes in the posterior cerebral artery upon visual stimulation. We analyzed peak systolic, mean and end diastolic VEFR in 54 patients with severe AS and 43 controls in 10 consecutive cycles of visual stimulation. Repeated‐measures ANOVA test was used to compare cerebral hemodynamic data by group.

Results

Patients with AS had significantly higher peak systolic (12.9% ± 5.6% and 10.5% ± 4.5%; p = .009) and mean VEFR (14.4% ± 5.8% and 12.2% ± 4.9%; p = .021) compared to controls, whereas only a tendency for higher end diastolic VEFR was observed (16.7% ± 6.9% and 14.4% ± 6.2%; p = .061).

Conclusion

We have shown for the first time that patients with severe AS exhibit higher VEFR than controls indicating dysregulation of neurovascular coupling, which can be one of the factors contributing to development of cognitive decline.

On May 18, 2023, Region 31 of the NLRB issued an unfair labor practice complaint against the University of Southern California, the Pac‐12 Conference, and the NCAA. The complaint alleges that USC, the Pac‐12, and the NCAA are joint employers and have misclassified football and basketball players at USC as “non‐employees” in order to deprive them of their rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

The reason of this study is to synthesize ZrB2 nano powder utilizing boric acid and phenolic resin. Within the study of zirconia as a source of zirconium, boric acid was used as a source of boron and phenolic resin as a carbon source. The theoretical and experimental studies of ZrB2 were synthesized by boro/carbothermal diminishment from the novel sol–gel technology. The zirconia powder was crushed for 8 h and in conjunction with different molar proportions of boric acid, in this consider, a kinetic demonstrate for reactions creating ZrB2 was built up based on thermodynamic analysis. The resultant powder was synthesized in a neutral atmosphere controlled in 1450°C and 1550°C. After it was also observed that, with the increase of molar proportion of H3BO3, the reaction delivered ZrB2 powders in high amount of the boron reaction. The compound was analyzed by an X‐ray diffraction technique and found to be ZrB2 powder that was synthesized with the purity of approximately 98%.

In this paper, we present a probabilistic study of rare phenomena of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the torus in a weakly nonlinear setting. This equation has been used as a model to numerically study the formation of rogue waves in deep sea. Our results are twofold: first, we introduce a notion of criticality and prove a Large Deviations Principle (LDP) for the subcritical and critical cases. Second, we study the most likely initial conditions that lead to the formation of a rogue wave, from a theoretical and numerical point of view. Finally, we propose several open questions for future research.

Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) electrode material has achieved excellent performance in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs). However, fundamental understanding about effect of substitutes on electrochemical performance of TCNQ remain unknown. In this work, the effects of fluorine (F) as an electron‐absorbing group on the structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of TCNQ and storage mechanism of TCNQ in AZIBs are discussed. Theoretical calculation proves that the introduction of fluorine atoms decreases lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy of TCNQ thus affect the redox potential. Electrochemical performance of TCNQ/Fluoro‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (FTCNQ)/2,3,5,6‐Tetrafluoro‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) is evaluated from 25 °C to −20 °C in AZIBs. Results tend out that with the increasing substituents of F on TCNQ molecular, their stability in AZIBs decrease. Dipole moment calculation further shows that the introduction of fluorine atoms is inconducive to the stability of the electrode material in aqueous solution. Ex‐situ characterization demonstrate that electron withdrawing groups do not change the REDOX center of TCNQ electrode materials. Our work provides a new thought for the selection of the electrode material in AZIBs.

Objects

We conducted this study to confirm the immunosuppression effect of Deforolimus in heart allotransplantation and find its mechanism.

Material and methods

We used vitro methods to confirm the immunosuppression of Deforolimus in T cell subgroups. Then, we conducted heart allotransplantation from BALB/c donors to C57BL/6 recipients with the oral administration of Deforolimus or blank solvent to contrast the immunosuppression effect in vivo. We used the flow cytometry（）, clone anergy test, ELISA (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay), apoptosis test, and lymphocyte translation (LT) to find the mechanism of Deforolimus’ immunosuppressive action.

Results

Studies in vitro demonstrated that Deforolimus had immunosuppressive action. Studies in vivo demonstrated that Deforolimus could inhibit the immune system of the heart allotransplantation recipients to extend the recipients’ life. The mechanisms of Deforolimus’ immunosuppressive action included induction of Tregs (regulatory T cells), induction of T cells anergy, and decreasing proportion of T cells in spleens and lymph nodes.

Conclusion

Deforolimus suppressed the immunological rejection of mouse cardiac allotransplantation which laid the foundation of Deforolimus applying to solid organ allotransplantation.

Agarwood ‘Qi‐Nan’ is commonly regarded as the highest quality agarwood, and has been highly valued for its fragrance. With the increasing amount of cultivated agarwood ‘Qi‐Nan’ in recent years, evaluation of the aroma compounds was drawn attention. Therefore, the volatile compounds in three cultivated ‘Qi‐Nan’ agarwood samples were extracted by simultaneous distillation‐extraction (SDE) and analysed by GC‐O‐MS, combined with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). A total of 70 volatile compounds were identified from three samples, in which sesquiterpenes and aromatics were characterized as key aroma‐active components. Nine compounds were considered as common aroma‐active volatiles in these three essential oils according to their flavour dilution (FD) activity and relative flavour activity (RFA) value, and among them, dihydro‐β‐agarofuran and 4‐methoxy‐benzaldehyde were the most important aroma‐active compounds. Additionally, three ‘Qi‐Nan’ agarwood samples showed different aroma specificity. TD agarwood was characterized by sweet sandalwood odour due to the dominant aroma‐active compound of β‐Santalol. WS agarwood was distinguished by its woody odour because α‐kessyl acetate was its primary aroma. HQ agarwood was featured by woody, spicy and balsamic odour on account of its main aroma compounds of agarospirol and β‐elemene.

Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA), is an important zoonotic pathogen which not only causes significant economic loss in livestock production but also emerges as a potential threat to public health. Compared with bovines, the information on the colonization of S. aureus and MRSA in yaks, the only bovine species providing meat and other necessities for Tibetans living at high altitude, is very limited. Therefore, in the current study, S. aureus and MRSA prevalence, virulence genes, and antibiotic and antiseptic resistance properties in yaks from 18 counties of Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan province, China were investigated. The results revealed that the overall prevalence of S. aureus during yak breeding was 7.10% among 1281 samples (91/1281), containing 9.44% from nasal (62/657) and 4.65% from anus (29/624). Nearly all of the S. aureus isolates carried at least one staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) gene and the predominant enterotoxin gene was selx (51.65%). In addition, virulence genes (hlα, hlβ, pvl, and tsst‐1), antiseptic resistance genes (qacA/B, qacC, and qacG), and heavy metal resistance genes (copA, arsB, cadD, and arsA) were also found. Furthermore, 24 MRSA strains were identified. SCCmec, spa, and multilocus sequence typing typing revealed that the predominant types of MRSA were ST59‐IVa‐t437 and ST59‐III‐t437. It was noteworthy that all these methicillin‐resistant strains were resistant to two or more antibiotics and possessed virulence genes. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of antiseptic peroxyacetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and benzalkonium bromide against these MRSA strains were measured and the MIC values of benzalkonium bromide (1.22–9.77 μg/mL) were relatively low. Furthermore, the challenge with 1/4 MIC of oxacillin sodium or ofloxacin or benzalkonium bromide for 216 h increased the resistance of the MRSA strain YB786 to these antibiotics but decreased the MIC value of benzalkonium bromide. The results provide an indication of the health risks associated with these S. aureus strains, especially methicillin‐resistant strains from yaks and new approaches are needed to treat these strains.

Background

The rapid detection and efficient properties of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have been widely exploited in food safety.

Purpose

In this study, the SERS impact of cysteine‐functionalized gold core‐silver shell bimetallic nanoparticle (Au@Ag@CysNPs) substrates with different pH treatments on pesticide compounds was examined.

Results

The pH‐dependent SERS impact of Au@Ag@CysNPs on detecting pesticide compounds exhibited different enhancements over the pH range of 2–11 and exited the highest enhancement at a pH of 5 for thiabendazole and thiram pesticides. The prepared Au@Ag@CysNPs were further utilized in SERS‐based rapid detection of pesticides on apple peels by directly dropping Au@Ag@CysNPs on the surface of the samples, where the target molecules could be identified without elution or extraction. These findings revealed that this Au@Ag@CysNPs substrate exhibited excellent SERS performances for pesticide compounds and good stability. With additional optimization, detection limits of 0.1 ng/cm2 for thiabendazole and thiram on apple peels were obtained.

Nitroxide groups covalently grafted to carbon fibers are used as anchoring sites for TEMPO‐terminated polymers (poly‐n‐butylacrylate and polystyrene) in a “graft to” surface modification strategy. All surface‐modified fibers are evaluated for their physical properties, showing that several treatments have enhanced the tensile strength and Young's modulus compared to the control fibers. Up to an 18% increase in tensile strength and 12% in Young's modulus are observed. Similarly, the evaluation of interfacial shear strength in an epoxy polymer shows improvements of up to 144% relative to the control sample. Interestingly, the polymer‐grafted surfaces show smaller increases in interfacial shear strength compared to surfaces modified with a small molecule only. This counterintuitive result is attributed to the incompatibility, both chemical and physical, of the grafted polymers to the surrounding epoxy matrix. Molecular dynamics simulations of the interface suggest that the diminished increase in mechanical shear strength observed for the polymer grafted surfaces may be due to the lack of exposed chain ends, whereas the small molecule grafted interface exclusively presents chain ends to the resin interface, resulting in good improvements in mechanical properties.
