San Jerónimo en la onomástica de la familia Martí de Torres-Aguilar y su proyección en el retablo cuatrocentista de San Martín, del Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia
Authors: Rubio Vela Agustín 
Published: December 2020

Resumen: El estudio de la onomástica familiar de los Martí de Torres-Aguilar, comitentes del retablo cuatrocentista de San Martín, santa Úrsula y san Antonio abad, obra señera del gótico valenciano, y el análisis iconográfico de sus tablas principales, obligan a poner en duda la identificación tradicional de san Antonio abad como el representado en ellas. Tanto la onomástica como la tradición iconográfica apuntan a que la figura en cuestión corresponde a san Jerónimo.Paraules clau: siglo XV, Valencia, San Jerónimo, Martí de Torres, AguilarAbstract: We have studied the family onomastics of the Martí de Torres-Aguilar, who commissioned the 15th-century raredos St Martin, St Ursula and St Anthony Abbot, a prominent piece of the Valencian gothic. This study, and the iconographic analysis of its main panels, beg the question whether the represented saint can actually be St Anthony Abbot. Both the onomastics and the iconographic tradition suggest that this figure should be matched to St Jerome.Keywords: 15th century, Valencia, St Jerome, Martí de Torres, Aguilar
La lenta segregación de los conventos de Navarra de la dominicana Provincia de Aragón culminada en 1569
Authors: Esponera Cerdán Alfonso 
Published: December 2020

Resumen: Desde su establecimiento en 1300, la dominicana Provincia de Aragón la fueron configurando los conventos de los Reinos de Aragón, Valencia, Navarra, Mallorca y el Principado de Cataluña con la Cerdaña y el Rosellón, Cerdeña y Sicilia. Si bien la conquista e incorporación del Reino de Navarra a Castilla fue en 1512, no ocurrió lo mismo con los conventos dominicanos navarros que después de diversos intentos de la Corona, sólo culminó su incorporación a la Provincia de España en 1569. Esta segregación ha sido un tema escasamente estudiado por los historiadores y es el que se analiza en este trabajo. Palabras clave: dominicos, Provincia de Aragón, Corona de Castilla, siglo XVAbstract: Since its establishment in 1300, the Dominican Province of Aragon was configured by the convents of the Kingdoms of Aragon, Valencia, Navarra, Mallorca and the Principality of Catalonia (with the Cerdanya and Roussillon), Sardinia and Sicily. Although the conquest and incorporation of the Kingdom of Navarre into Castile was in 1512 not happened the same with the Dominican convents of Navarre, that only after several attempts of the Crown culminated its incorporation into the Province of Spain in 1569. This segregation has been a topic rarely studied by historians and is the main topic of this paper. .Keywords: dominicans, Province of Aragon, Crown of Castile, 15th siecle

Resum: A partir dels rics fons en matèria judicial que es conserven als arxius de les ciutats de València i Lleida, hem desenvolupat una recerca sobre la intervenció dels practicants de la medicina com a guaridors i com a experts cridats en els tribunals per determinar la naturalesa i la gravetat de les lesions causades per diferents formes de violència exercida contra la dona: violació, maltractament domèstic, tortura, agressions comunes. Fem una aproximació a la legislació, i la contrastem amb la documentació, particularment els testimonis d’individus cridats als judicis. A més, analitzem el paper de l’expert, com és utilitzat pel jutge, les limitacions de la seua aportació i les controvèrsies que suscita. Això en un marc social on la dona pateix moltes agressions enfront de les quals es veu indefensa, que sovint no es denuncien i on sempre parteix amb desavantatge.Paraules clau: medicina forense, maltractament a dones, tribunals de justícia, edat mitjanaAbstract: Based on the rich judicial sources preserved in the archives from the cities of Valencia and Lleida, we have undertaken a study about the intervention of medical practitioners as healers and experts in the courts of law to determine the nature and gravity of the injuries caused by different means of violence against women: rape, domestic abuse, torture, common assault. We examine the legislation and we compare it with the documentation, namely the testimonies of people who were brought to trial. Yet, we thoroughly analyse the role of the experts, how the judges used the information received from them, the limits of their contribution and the controversy they used to arouse. These situations took place in a setting where women suffered lots of injuries to which they could not defend, and those were hardly ever reported. In brief, women were discriminated by the law.Keywords: forensic medicine, violence against women, courts of law, Midlle Ages
Community-led Work and Its Impact on Deprofessionalization: The Case of Public Library Professionals
Authors: Nilsson Jenny 
Published: December 2020

The objective of this empirical study was to explore the impact of community-led work on the (de-)professionalization process among public library professionals in Canada through the analyzation of transcripts from 11 semi-structured interviews and a guideline document. The results were analyzed and sensitized through Abbott’s professionalization theory (1988) and Bourdieu’s praxeology theory (1986; 1992). With the methodology of grounded theorization, the study found that the profession has changed, and is changing, into the direction of possible deprofessionalization, due to not only external but also internal factors in the form of a collegial conflict.

Published: December 2020

The aim of this study was to analyze the perceptions and experiences of relatives of patients dying from a terminal disease with regard to the care they received during the dying process, considering the oncological or non-oncological nature of the terminal disease, and the place where care was provided (at home, emergency department, hospital room, or palliative care unit). For this purpose, we conducted a mixed-methods observational study in which two studies were triangulated, one qualitative using semi-structured interviews (n = 30) and the other quantitative, using questionnaires (n = 129). The results showed that the perception of relatives on the quality of care was highly positive in the quantitative evaluation but more critical and negative in the qualitative interview. Experience of the support received and palliative measures was more positive for patients attended in hospital in the case of oncological patients but more positive for those attended at home in the case of non-oncological patients.

Published: December 2020

Background and Aim: The number of patients on hemodialysis (HD) increases continuously. The HD population is usually divided into early and late HD patients according to the duration of HD, that are known as incident and prevalent groups. Still, there is a debate about the exact definition of both the incident and prevalent groups. Furthermore, predictors of death of both of these groups are not yet identified, especially in Egyptian HD patients. We aimed to compare between the incident and prevalent HD patients as well as to define predictors of mortality among each of these groups.
Study Design and Methodology: This prospective multicenter study was started in June 2016, comprising 2123 HD patients recruited from twenty-five Egyptian HD centers. Patients were classified according to HD duration into two groups: Incident group including patients with HD duration equals to or less than 6 months, and a prevalent group including patients who had been maintained on HD for more than 6 months. All patients were observed for one and half years and their demographic data, laboratory findings and mortality events were recorded.
Results: In comparison to the prevalent group, the incident HD patients showed significantly lower hemoglobin, serum albumin, urea reduction ratio, serum phosphorus, and serum ferritin but higher average erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) dose. There was significantly a higher number of patients with hypertension in the incident group, while there was no significant difference in diabetes mellitus or ischemic heart disease in both groups. There were a higher number of patients with positive hepatitis C virus antibodies and hyperparathyroidism in the prevalent group. By the end of the study, the mortality frequency was found to be significantly higher in the incident than the prevalent groups. Older age and corrected serum calcium were significant predictors of mortality in the total studied group as well as the prevalent group. However, no significant predictors of mortality could be detected among the incident group.
Conclusion: The incident HD group tends to show higher frequency of hypertension, laboratory findings suggestive of malnutrition as well as higher frequency of mortality with different pattern of mortality predictors compared to the prevalent group.

Objectives: After renal transplantation, a remarkable improvement of impaired patient’s kidney function is often observed. Preserving improved kidney function ensures long-term renal allograft survival. However, there are different risk factors; the acute rejection is the major risk factor. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine renal function within the first six months as independent variables in predicting long-term survival and incidence of acute rejection.
Methods: Fifty-three patients who underwent kidney transplantation in 2016 and 2017 in King Abdulaziz Medical City- National Guard were evaluated consecutively1 and 2-month pre-transplant up to six months’ post-transplant. Time course of changes in kidney functions; measurements of serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), albumin, calcium, sodium and potassium were recorded. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and anion gap (AGAP) were also reported. In addition, age, anthropometric factors and causes of ESRD were analyzed.
Results: Lower level of calcium was observed in 40% of patient’s two-month pre-transplantation and 69% of patients one month before. Normalization of calcium was achieved in all patients starting from second month post-transplantation. All patients presented elevated serum potassium level in pre-transplant months, however, renal transplant normalize potassium level starting from first month. A remarkable higher level of serum BUN was observed in all pre-transplant patients followed by dramatically decreased after renal transplant for first four months and remain in normal level starting from month 5. Likewise, serum creatinine was highly elevated in all pre-transplant patients. A profound reduction in serum creatinine started from month 1 post-transplant and normalizes at month 4. Moreover, both eGFR and AGAP were kept in normal level immediately after renal transplantation. All patients with early acute rejection during mean follow-up period have a remarkable elevated level of serum creatinine and profound decrease in eGFR starting from first month. While a significant higher level of serum BUN observed in fifth month only and serum albumin in third month.
Conclusion: Significant elevation of serum creatinine and reduction in eGFR starting from first month were associated with post-transplanted patients with early acute rejection. The clinical use of eGFR and serum creatinine may aid in predicting incidence of early acute rejection.
Recent Tactics and Advances in the Application of Metal Sulfides as High‐Performance Anode Materials for Rechargeable Sodium‐Ion Batteries
Authors: Lim Yew Von , Li Xue Liang , Yang Hui Ying 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe successful development of post‐lithium technologies depends on two key elements: performance and economy. Because sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) can potentially satisfy both requirements, they are widely considered the most promising replacement for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to the similarity between the electrochemical processes and the abundance of sodium‐based resources. Among various SIB anode materials, metal sulfides are most extensively studied as materials for high‐performance electrodes due to the versatility of their synthesis procedure, utilization potential, and high sodiation capacity. Herein, some of the most effective strategies aimed at effectively alleviating the performance shortcomings of these materials from the materials engineering/design perspective are summarized. In terms of facilitating ion transport in SIBs, which represents one of the most critical aspects of their performance, a specific family of strategies related to a particular operational mechanism is considered rather than categorizing based‐on individual sulfide materials. In the foreseeable future, the development of highly functional SIBs electrode materials and utilization of metal sulfides will become highly relevant due to their stability and performance characteristics. Therefore, it is anticipated that this review will guide further research and facilitate the realization of various applications of sulfide‐based high‐performance rechargeable batteries.

AbstractSARS‐CoV‐2 and other respiratory viruses spread via aerosols generated by infected people. Face masks can limit transmission. However, widespread use of disposable masks consumes tremendous resources and generates waste. Here, a novel material for treating blown polypropylene filtration media used in medical‐grade masks to impart antimicrobial activity is reported. To produce thin copper@ZIF‐8 core‐shell nanowires (Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs), Cu NWs are stabilized using a pluronic F‐127 block copolymer, followed by growth of ZIF‐8 to obtain uniform core‐shell structures. The Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs are applied to filtration media by dip coating. Aerosol filtration efficiency decreases upon exposure to ethanol (solvent for dip‐coating), but increases with addition of Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs. Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs shows enhanced antibacterial activity, compared to Cu NWs or ZIF‐8 alone, against Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli. Antiviral activity against SARS‐CoV‐2 is assayed using virus‐infected Vero E6 cells, demonstrating 55% inhibition of virus replication after 48 h by 1 µg of Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs per well. Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs’ cytotoxicity is tested against four cell lines, and their effect on inflammatory response in A549 cells is examined, demonstrating good biocompatibility. This low‐cost, scalable synthesis and straightforward deposition of Cu@ZIF‐8 NWs onto filter media has great potential to reduce disease transmission, resource consumption, and environmental impact of waste.

Published: December 2020

AbstractSolid–solid interfaces in the composite cathode for solid‐state batteries face the thorny issues of poor physical contact, chemical side reaction, temporal separation, and sluggish Li+/e− transfer. Developing key material to achieve the composite cathode with efficient solid–solid interfaces is critical to improving the coulombic efficiency, cycling life, and energy density of solid‐state batteries. Herein, electronic and ionic dual conductive polymer (DCP) is prepared for the composite cathode via intermolecular interaction on the base of lithiated polyvinyl formal‐derived Li+ single‐ion conductor (LiPVFM), lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiODFB), and electronic conducting polymer. Crosslinking, coordination, and hydrogen‐bonding effect enable DCP with high electrical conductivity of 68.9 S cm−1, Li+ ionic conductivity (2.76 × 10−4 S cm−1), large electrochemical window above 6 V and a high modulus of 6.8 GPa. Besides, DCP can form a coating layer on the active material powders to maintain structural integrity via buffering the internal stress during lithiation/delithiation, meanwhile, to construct long‐ and short‐range electronic/ionic conductive channel together with a small amount of CNTs. Rigid and flexible DCP‐based composite cathode enables the excellent cycling of solid‐state batteries with a high loading up to 11.7 mg cm−2 and high content of active materials close to 90 wt% without current collector.
Precise Tumor Photothermal Therapy Guided and Monitored by Magnetic Resonance/Photoacoustic Imaging using A Safe and pH‐Responsive Fe(III) Complex
Authors: Liang Guohai , Han Jiamei , Xing Da 
Published: December 2020

AbstractPhotothermal agents with
strong near infrared (NIR) optical absorbance and
excellent biocompatibility and traceability are highly desired for
precise photothermal therapy. This study reports the
development of a dual‐functional Fe3+ complex (Fe‐ZDS) for
imaging‐guided, precise photothermal therapy of tumors. The complex has stable
structure and obvious zwitterionic features, resulting in excellent
biocompatibility and efficient renal clearance. The iron‐dopa core structure renders the complex capable of generating
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast, while synergistically exhibiting optical
absorption in the red and NIR regions. Interestingly, the optical absorption of
the complex is pH‐sensitive, with significantly higher absorption intensity in
a weakly acidic environment than in a neutral environment. Thus the complex can
respond to acidic tumor stimuli and confine the energy of the laser to the
tumor tissue. The MRI contrast and photoacoustic signal of
the complex is taken advantage of to monitor the probe injection process and optimize the injection
position and dosage for maximally covering the tumor tissue and assessing the
activation of the complex in tumor tissues. The evolution of temperature inside the tissue during the laser irradiation is also
monitored. Using Fe‐ZDS as the theranostic probe, satisfactory treatment outcomes are achieved for photothermal therapy of tumors.

AbstractLow‐dimensional quantum materials that remain strongly ferromagnetic down to monolayer thickness are highly desired for spintronic applications. Although oxide materials are important candidates for the next generation of spintronics, ferromagnetism decays severely when the thickness is scaled to the nanometer regime, leading to deterioration of device performance. Here, a methodology is reported for maintaining strong ferromagnetism in insulating LaCoO3 (LCO) layers down to the thickness of a single unit cell. It is found that the magnetic and electronic states of LCO are linked intimately to the structural parameters of adjacent “breathing lattice” SrCuO2 (SCO). As the dimensionality of SCO is reduced, the lattice constant elongates over 10% along the growth direction, leading to a significant distortion of the CoO6 octahedra, and promoting a higher spin state and long‐range spin ordering. For atomically thin LCO layers, surprisingly large magnetic moment (0.5 μB/Co) and Curie temperature (75 K), values larger than previously reported for any monolayer oxides are observed. The results demonstrate a strategy for creating ultrathin ferromagnetic oxides by exploiting atomic heterointerface engineering, confinement‐driven structural transformation, and spin‐lattice entanglement in strongly correlated materials.

AbstractPolymer semiconductors (PSCs) are an essential component of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), but their potential for stretchable electronics is limited by their brittleness and failure susceptibility upon strain. Herein, a covalent connection of two state‐of‐the‐art polymers—semiconducting poly‐diketo‐pyrrolopyrrole‐thienothiophene (PDPP‐TT) and elastomeric poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)—in a single triblock copolymer (TBC) chain is reported, which enables high charge carrier mobility and low modulus in one system. Three TBCs containing up to 65 wt% PDMS were obtained, and the TBC with 65 wt% PDMS content exhibits mobilities up to 0.1 cm2 V−1 s−1, in the range of the fully conjugated reference polymer PDPP‐TT (0.7 cm2 V−1 s−1). The TBC is ultrasoft with a low elastic modulus (5 MPa) in the range of mammalian tissue. The TBC exhibits an excellent stretchability and extraordinary durability, fully maintaining the initial electric conductivity in a doped state after 1500 cycles to 50% strain.

AbstractAlthough single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibit various colors in suspension, directly synthesized SWCNT films usually appear black. Recently, a unique one‐step method for directly fabricating green and brown films has been developed. Such remarkable progress, however, has brought up several new questions. The coloration mechanism, potentially achievable colors, and color controllability of SWCNTs are unknown. Here, a quantitative model is reported that can predict the specific colors of SWCNT films and unambiguously identify the coloration mechanism. Using this model, colors of 466 different SWCNT species are calculated, which reveals a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors of SWCNTs. The calculated colors are in excellent agreement with existing experimental data. Furthermore, the theory predicts the existence of many brilliantly colored SWCNT films, which are experimentally expected. This study shows that SWCNTs as a form of pure carbon, can display a full spectrum of vivid colors, which is expected to complement the general understanding of carbon materials.
