Published: February 2020

Introdução. Dados os avanços em relação às propedêuticas e terapêuticas em saúde, umaprática clínica que proporcionasse também avanços e incrementos substanciais em qualidade de
vida dos pacientes e tratamento seria condizente. Muitas vezes, impõe-se a pacientes idosos te-rapias que postergam sua existência negligenciando as consequências do viver e efeitos adversos:
a vida é priorizada, independendo da qualidade da existência e tal pensamento culminou em umdistanciamento da morte, representada pelo fracasso terapêutico e profissional e afastamento dopaciente e de discussões sobre o processo de finitude da vida. Contudo, os objetivos terapêuticosnem sempre são atingidos e, inevitavelmente, tópicos como morte e sofrimento no envelhecimentonão são devidamente discutidos na formação dos profissionais da saúde. Objetivo. Apresentar osresultados relacionados com a percepção da morte e processo de envelhecimento em profissionais
da saúde presentes em evento acerca do tópico em Porto Alegre. Metodologia. Aplicação de ques-tionário objetivo formado com 8 questões a profissionais e acadêmicos da área da saúde em 2018.
Resultados. 110 participantes (acadêmicos ou profissionais da área da saúde), sendo 91% do sexo
feminino e na faixa etária de 19 a 69 anos. A definição de morte foi a de representação de um pro-cesso natural de envelhecimento para 45%, 23% nunca pensou acerca da própria morte, 44,5% já
vivenciou uma experiência citada como traumática no processo de envelhecer ou morrer; somente12,7% acredita que ao longo da formação acadêmica e profissional teve preparo teórico e práticopara o tópico; 91,8% discorda que a morte é um tema a ser evitado; 40% concorda em algum grauque seja fundamental a profissionais da saúde tenham alguma crença espiritual para tratar desituações de morte ou envelhecimento e 79,1% discorda de que o paciente ter conhecimento acercada gravidade de sua doença contribui para a piora do estado. Conclusões. Urge que se discuta sobre morte e envelhecimento no âmbito da formação de profissionais da saúde: 83,7% dos participantesacreditam não possuir o embasamento teórico, prático e psicológico adequado para o manejo detais situações - assim, é necessário maior enfoque no tema na educação em saúde, com o intuito depreparar psicologicamente futuros profissionais ante a terminalidade da vida e envelhecimento, afim de gerar um desempenho profissional e pessoal mais saudável.

Published: December 2024

AbstractHydrogels with programmable shape memory hold great promise for applications in soft robots, smart medical devices, etc., but the preparation of tough and fast‐responding shape memory hydrogels remains challenging. In this work, Poly (acrylic acid ‐N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (3:1)‐Fe3+ (P(AA‐NIPAM)(3:1)‐Fe3+) hydrogels are obtained by monomer copolymerization and ionic coordination, which exhibited tough mechanical properties with a maximum tensile strength of 2.48 ± 0.08 MPa and a maximum elongation of 338.5 ± 19.6%. The hydrogel also demonstrated a good shape memory effect, with the hydrogel curled into a spiral shape recovering to 71.1% ± 5.9% in 30 s under the swelling effect of water, and the convoluted structure recovering to 95% in 4 s. The shape memory hydrogels prepared based on this method will provide an important reference value for the development of higher performance shape memory hydrogels.

AbstractExtracting and recovering plastic evidence at explosion sites is important for police investigations. Pneumatic separation is an efficient recovery method that is simple and environmentally friendly. To improve the accuracy of material separation, it is necessary to fully understand the influence of internal flow fields and structural design when using a material evidence classification device at explosion sites. In this study, a combination of a simulation and experiments is used. The results from the simulation are used to design a pneumatic separation device that is applied to explosive separation experiments. The grade and recovery rate of the plastic materials are excellent, which confirms the suitability of the device to classify plastic evidence at explosion sites.
3W‐MultiHier: A Three Way Multi‐Hierarchical Model Enabled Deep Learning for Brain Tumor Classification in MRI Scans
Authors: Dixit Asmita , Thakur Manish Kumar 
Published: December 2024

AbstractAccurate brain tumor detection and classification are vital for effective diagnosis and treatment planning in medical imaging. Despite advancements in deep learning, challenges such as multimodal complexity, small lesion segmentation, limited training data, and variability in tumor characteristics hinder precise tumor analysis in MRI scans. To address these issues, we propose the Three Way Multi‐Hierarchical Model (3W‐MultiHier) for tumor classification in MRI. 3W‐MultiHier employs a hybrid Capsule‐Transformer UNet (Capsule‐TransUNet) architecture, integrating capsule and transformer networks within the U‐Net framework. This enables the model to capture spatial hierarchies, long‐range dependencies, and global context, ensuring accurate tumor boundary segmentation. The model also incorporates Residual Network Version 2 ‐ Squeeze‐and‐Excitation Network (ResNetV2‐SENet), which excels at extracting complex features through deep hierarchical structures and feature recalibration. Additionally, the Vision Transformer ‐ Transfer Learning (ViT‐TL) pipeline enhances classification accuracy by leveraging fine‐grained hierarchical representations. Extensive evaluations on BraTS (2019, 2020, 2021) datasets demonstrate the superior performance of 3W‐MultiHier, achieving 99.8% accuracy with rapid training and low loss. These results highlight the model's efficiency in handling diverse datasets and its potential to improve clinical diagnostics by enabling precise, reliable brain tumor classification.

Published: December 2024

AbstractCholine [Cho]‐based ionic liquids (ILs) are biodegradable and soluble and have shown strong application in the protein stabilization and drug delivery. In this work, the stability of the insulin dimer is investigated in the presence of [Cho]‐based ILs containing three distinct anions (i.e., acetate [OAc], taurate [Tau], and geranate [Ger]). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations explore insulin's stability and structure in the presence of ILs. MD analyses reveal that the insulin dimer is stabilized by non‐covalent interactions, with hydrogen bonds and anions in ILs playing key roles. Among them, [Cho][OAc] ILs show significantly better stabilization than other anions.This is due to the hydration patterns of acetate anion, which can be compared to Hofmeister series and chemical agent effects (i.e., kosmotrope and chaotrope). Further, non‐covalent interactions index and electron density analyses from the atoms‐in‐molecules theory approach are carried out to quantify the strength of non‐covalent interaction in ILs with water clusters (Wn, n = 0–6). Analyses show the significance of water molecules in the stabilization of insulin dimer in the presence of [Cho]‐based ILs. The study elucidates the role of ILs formulation concerning insulin dimers to improve the transdermal and oral drug delivery systems.
Water Electrooxidation Kinetics Clarified by Time‐Resolved X‐Ray Absorption and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy for a Bulk‐Active Cobalt Material

Published: December 2024

AbstractWater oxidation, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is the anodic process in electrocatalytic production of hydrogen and further green fuels. Transition‐metal oxyhydroxides with bulk‐phase OER activity of the complete material or amorphized near‐surface regions are of prime application interest, but their basic electrochemical properties are insufficiently understood. Here the timescale of functional processes is clarified by time‐resolved X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for a thickness‐series of cobalt oxyhydroxides films (about 35–550 nm). At the outer material surface, an electric double‐layer is formed in microseconds followed by clearly cobalt‐centered redox‐state changes of the bulk material in the low millisecond domain and a slow chemical step of O2‐formation, within hundreds of milliseconds. Conceptually interesting, the electrode potential likely controls the OER rate indirectly by driving the catalyst material to an increasingly oxidized state which promotes the rate‐limiting chemical step. Rate constants are derived for redox chemistry and catalysis from EIS data of low‐thickness catalyst films; at higher thicknesses, catalyst‐internal charge transport limitations become increasingly relevant. Relations between electrochemically active surface area, double‐layer capacitance, and redox (pseudo‐)capacitance are discussed. These results can increase the power of EIS analyses and support knowledge‐guided optimization of a broader class of OER catalyst materials.
Proof‐of‐Concept for Selective Magnetization Switching for Microfabricated Exchange‐Spring Magnets by Spin Wave Excitation
Authors: Kushwaha V. K. , Yamazaki T. , Seki T. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper presents a proof‐of‐concept for selective magnetization switching in microfabricated elements with L10‐FePt/Ni81Fe19 (permalloy; Py) exchange‐coupled bilayers, known as exchange‐spring magnets, by exciting spin wave dynamics. Although the resonance frequency of the perpendicular standing spin wave mode definitely can be tuned by varying the Py layer thickness or the aspect ratio of the element, considering the requirements of selective magnetization switching, it is found that the frequency tuning by varying the aspect ratio is suitable. The spin wave‐assisted magnetization switching (SWAS) experiments for the different aspect ratios reveal the condition for the switching field reduction for each aspect ratio. Thanks to the different resonance frequencies between the different aspect ratios, the selective nature of SWAS method is experimentally demonstrated. The findings involve the contribution of higher‐order spin wave dynamics, and emphasize the significance of adjusting the aspect ratio of elements to realize selective magnetization switching, offering potential applications in multilevel recording media.

Published: December 2024

Abstract1,3‐Propanediol (1,3‐PDO) and lactic acid (LA) are valuable chemical products that can be used as monomers for synthesizing important polymers such as polytrimethylene terephthalate and poly(lactic acid), respectively. In this study, a new integrated process for the production of 1,3‐PDO and LA from renewable feedstocks is proposed and analyzed using modeling and simulation tools. Limosilactobacillus reuteri was selected for this application due to its capability to co‐ferment both glycerol and glucose, resulting in the production of 1,3‐PDO, LA, and other byproducts. A conceptual process was developed and simulated using Aspen Plus software, focusing on the bioreactor, multistage evaporation, and vacuum distillation for separation. The bioreactor was designed using a kinetic model that had been developed previously, which was validated with experimental data. A technoeconomic and environmental analysis was conducted, along with a multi‐criteria analysis using the GREENSCOPE methodology. The proposed process was compared with a study from the literature that reproduced metrics of a commercial 1,3‐PDO production process, providing a benchmark for evaluation. The results of the economic assessment, particularly in the Brazilian market, estimate the minimal selling prices at US$6.70/kg for 1,3‐PDO and US$5.49/kg for LA. Overall, the proposed process presents a potential technical solution for integrated LA and 1,3‐PDO production; however, further studies should focus on increasing L. reuteri tolerance to higher substrate concentrations and developing low‐cost culture media to ensure process sustainability.
The Evolution of China's Domestic Climate Policy Frames (2009–2024): Problems, Solutions, and Motivations
Authors: Yang Beibei , Blondeel Mathieu , Pattberg Philipp 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTOver the past decade, The People's Republic of China has increased its influence in global climate governance. Despite the strong interest in policy frames related to climate change at the global level, few studies have explored policy frames within China. This paper therefore adopts a frame analysis to study the evolution in framing of domestic climate policies in China over the period 2009–24. Our research finds that diagnostic frames (the “problem”) identify development pressure, energy sector, and the impacts of natural disasters, pollution and ecosystem damage/change as key issues to be addressed. Prognostic frames (the “solutions”) encompass energy system decarbonization, industry reform, nature‐based solutions, market‐oriented solutions, and international cooperation. The motivational framings (the “ideational motivations”), include green development, ecological civilization, the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR), and multilateralism. The study reveals shifts in diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational frames of the national government across three periods.
Edge‐Optimized Neural Networks for Real‐Time English Corpus Recommendation
Authors: Han Shuangshuang , Zhang Kai 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a lightweight framework for real‐time English corpus recommendation optimized for edge computing environments. Traditional recommendation systems, though effective in modeling complex user‐content interactions, often suffer from excessive computational demands, making them unsuitable for deployment on resource‐constrained edge devices. To tackle these limitations, we introduce a novel solution that efficiently balances advanced interaction modeling with computational cost optimization. The framework integrates a robust baseline model that captures rich user‐content interactions while employing knowledge distillation techniques to transfer critical information, ensuring that high‐quality recommendations are maintained even with reduced computational overhead. Our approach leverages real‐time adaptability to edge environments, providing both speed and accuracy. Experimental evaluations on benchmark datasets reveal significant reductions in response time, without compromising the accuracy of recommendations, thus making it ideal for real‐time applications in edge computing scenarios.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTSince 2022, international college student (ICS) enrollment in US higher education has increased significantly. Although literature highlights patterns and rates of ICS mental health service utilization, evidence regarding theory‐driven predictors remains limited. Grounded in Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Service Use (ABMHSU), this study investigated factors predicting formal mental health service utilization among ICSs. The sample included 1400 ICSs from a mid‐sized private university. Using ABMHSU, we tested three hierarchical logistic regression models incorporating predisposing factors (i.e., gender identity, gender and sexual minority status, academic level), enabling factors (i.e., loneliness, relationship status, resilience), and need factors (i.e., psychological distress, suicidal ideation [SI]). Results indicated that male‐identifying students had lower odds of seeking formal support, whereas students identifying as gender or sexual minorities demonstrated higher odds. Furthermore, our analysis showed positive associations between loneliness and SI and the likelihood of formal service utilization. These results underscore the need for counseling practice and system‐wide advocacy initiatives.
Monthly High‐Resolution Historical Climate Data for North America Since 1901
Authors: Wang Tongli , Hamann Andreas , Sang Zihaohan 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTInterpolated grids of historical climate variables are widely used in climate change impact and adaptation research. Here, we contribute monthly historical time series grids since 1901 for our data product ClimateNA, which integrates historical data and future projections to generate high‐resolution gridded data and point estimates for North America. The historical climate grids in this study are based on interpolations of monthly anomalies (change factors) with thin‐plate splines, but a novel aspect is that we rely on high‐quality 1961–1990 normal estimates from ClimateNA to serve as reference for the change factor calculations instead of the reference being derived from station data itself. This allowed us to utilise records from 66,282 climate stations for interpolations, regardless of their temporal coverage. Another aspect that deviates from standard practice is that we reduce overfitting by optimising thin‐plate splines at a 0.5° grid level instead of fitting weather station observations directly. The high‐resolution grids generated with this approach compared favourably with other time series products, such as Daymet and advanced multi‐source products, such as MSWEP, in statistical and mapped visual comparisons, and provide additional historical coverage since the beginning of the 20th century.
Photon‐Efficient, Hybrid Illumination for High‐Throughput Fourier Ptychographic Phase Microscopy Using Lenslet‐Integrated LED Illuminator

Published: December 2024

AbstractFourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a computational microscopy platform capable of large‐area, high‐resolution imaging of thin specimens. FPM enhances the spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit of the objective by synthesizing frequency information from multiple images captured at various illumination angles. However, this enhancement comes at the cost of temporal resolution, making conventional FPMs unsuitable for imaging dynamic samples. The low temporal resolution of FPM is mainly attributed to two factors: the large number of measurements required for resolution improvement and the long exposure time, particularly in capturing dark‐field (DF) images. Here, a novel high‐throughput FPM strategy, termed PEH‐FPM, enabled by the combination of photon‐efficient, lenslet‐array‐integrated LED illuminator, and a hybrid multiplexed‐illumination scheme is introduced. The illuminator provides vignette‐free, high‐intensity illumination at the object plane, thereby dramatically reducing the DF acquisition time to a few milliseconds and eliminating vignetting‐induced artifacts present in conventional FPM approaches. The illumination‐multiplexing scheme significantly reduces the number of measurements, achieving a 0.51‐NA resolution across a field of view of 4.1 mm2 with a total acquisition time of 21–40 msec, using 4 × 0.13NA objective. The imaging platform is expected to find numerous applications that call for dynamic, high‐resolution imaging over a large spatial scale.
