Authors: Younas Muhammad Waqar , Tayyab Iman , Arooj Esha , Ali Zain , Zafar Marium 
Published: December 2024

Background: Prolonged standing hours, footwear and BMI has a positive impact on functional limitations. Prolonged standing occupations are defined by the time in which employees spend more than 50% of their working shift in standing position. Up to 58% of women encounter musculoskeletal disorders associated with their occupation. Moreover, women face a 42% higher risk compared to men. Footwear acts as a crucial link between workers and their surroundings, impacting posture, movement patterns, and the distribution of forces across the body.
Objective: To find the prevalence of functional limitations associated with prolonged standing working hours and footwear among female workers.
Methodology: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted in pharmaceutical companies in Faisalabad over a period of 4 months. The study involved 278 female workers with standing jobs, selected using non-probability purposive sampling. Participants were aged 25-40, with at least one year of standing job experience, and spent over three hours daily standing. Exclusions included recent trauma, fractures, surgeries, congenital foot disorders, and pregnancy. Data was collected using the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) and analysed with SPSS version 20. Informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Result: In total 278 female participants were selected. The majority of participants (54.3%) were between 25-30 years old, with 42.1% having 4-6 years of working experience, and 61.5% standing for 7-8 hours a day. Most participants (37.1%) had a normal weight BMI, and 76.3% experienced foot and ankle pain.
Conclusion: This study shows high prevalence of functional limitations and has significant association with BMI, prolonged standing hours and footwear. In conclusion, the study found that foot and ankle pain is prevalent (76.3%). High heels, long standing hours, and high BMI increased the possibility of foot and ankle pain.

Antropomorfisme dalam Taqrīrāt Jawharat al-Tawhīd: Analisis Sosiolinguistik Penafsiran KH. Maimun Zubair
Authors: Fariza Abdullah Ahmad 
Published: December 2024

Qur’anic interpretation has been identified with the book of tafsir (kutub al-tafāsīr), which often ignores the interpretations scattered in non-tafsir books, such as Taqrīrāt Jawharat al-Tawḥīd by KH. Maimun Zubair. Concerned with examining and analyzing his interpretation on anthropomorphism verses in that book, the researcher used a descriptive-analytical method with the conceptual framework of narrative structure analysis theory by William Labov and Joshua Waletzky. This research found that KH. Maimun Zubair strongly rejected at understanding verses that connote anthropomorphism using the tajsīm method and supported interpretation through the tafwīḍ and ta’wīl method by giving takhyīr (freedom to choose among two options). Not only being moderate and progressive, by doing so, KH. Maimun Zubair has indirectly offered the solution for taqlid problems.

Tafsir selama ini identik dengan kitab tafsir (kutub al-tafāsīr) yang seringkali mengabaikan tafsir-tafsir yang tersebar dalam kitab-kitab non tafsir, seperti Taqrīrāt Jawharat al-Tawḥīd karya KH. Maimun Zubair. Untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis tafsirnya terhadap ayat-ayat antropomorfisme dalam Taqrīrāt Jauharat al-Tauḥīd, peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis dengan kerangka konseptual teori analisis struktur naratif oleh William Labov dan Joshua Waletzky. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa KH. Maimun Zubair menolak keras penafsiran ayat-ayat yang mengandung makna antropomorfisme dengan metode tajsīm dan mendukung penafsiran dengan metode tafwīḍ dan ta’wīl dengan memberikan takhyīr (kebebasan memilih di antara dua pilihan). Selain bersikap moderat dan progresif, dengan demikian, KH. Maimun Zubair secara tidak langsung juga menawarkan solusi untuk masalah taqlid yang selama ini mengakar dalam masyarakat.
Zinc Availability in Calcareous Soil as Influenced by Various Levels, Sources of Zn and Zn Solubilizing Bacteria
Authors: P.Malathi  , Babu Bimal Glory , K.M.Sellamuthu  
Published: December 2024

Zinc is one among the micronutrients essential for the growth and development of crops. Application of inorganic zinc fertilizers to mitigate Zn deficiency is relatively ineffective since it gets converted into unavailable forms. Microbial transformation of Zn from unavailable form to soil available form is an important approach contributing to plant Zn nutrition. An incubation experiment was conducted to study the transformation of Zn in calcareous soil. The results of incubation experiment revealed that application of Zn fertilizers with Zinc Solublizing Bacteria (ZSB) reduced the soil pH, increased the EC and DTPA-Zn content of the soil. It was found that ZnSO4 addition at 7.5 kg Zn ha-1 along with ZSB (Enterobacter cloacae) was considered to be the best Zn management strategy in calcareous soil for sustaining Zn availability to crops.

AbstractHigh efficiency and mechanical robustness are both crucial for the practical applications of all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) in stretchable and wearable electronics. In this regard, a series of new polymer acceptors (PAs) is reported by incorporating a flexible conjugation‐break spacer (FCBS) to achieve highly efficient and mechanically robust all‐PSCs. Incorporation of FCBS affords the effective modulation of the crystallinity and pre‐aggregation of the PAs, and achieves the optimal blend morphology with polymer donor (PD), increasing both the photovoltaic and mechanical properties of all‐PSCs. In particular, an all‐PSC based on PYTS‐0.3 PA incorporated with 30% FCBS and PBDB‐T PD demonstrates a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.68% and excellent mechanical stretchability with a crack onset strain (COS) of 21.64% and toughness of 3.86 MJ m‐3, which is significantly superior to those of devices with the PA without the FCBS (PYTS‐0.0, PCE = 13.01%, and toughness = 2.70 MJ m‐3). To date, this COS is the highest value reported for PSCs with PCEs of over 8% without any insulating additives. These results reveal that the introduction of FCBS into the conjugated backbone is a highly feasible strategy to simultaneously improve the PCE and stretchability of PSCs.
Anomalous Superconducting Proximity Effect in Bi2Se3/FeSe0.5Te0.5 Thin‐Film Heterojunctions

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe superconducting proximity effect (SPE) induces a superconductivity transition in otherwise non‐superconducting thin films in proximity with a superconductor. The SPE usually occurs in real space and decays exponentially with film thickness. Herein, an abnormal SPE in a topological insulator (TI)/superconductor heterostructure is unveiled, which is attributed to the topologically protected surface state. Surprisingly, such abnormal SPE occurs in momentum space regardless of the TI film thickness, as long as the topological surface states are robust and form a continuous conduction loop. Combining transport measurements and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy techniques, the SPE in Bi2Se3/FeSe0.5Te0.5 heterostructures is explored, where Bi2Se3 is an ideal 3D topological insulator and FeSe0.5Te0.5 a typical iron‐based superconductor. As the thickness of the Bi2Se3 thin film exceeds 400 nm, there still exists SPE‐induced superconductivity on the surface of Bi2Se3 thin film with a transition temperature Tc not less than 10 K. Such an extraordinary behavior is induced by the unique properties of topologically protected surface states of Bi2Se3. This research deepens the understanding of the important role of topologically protected surface states in the SPE.

Authors: Woods Emily , Spiller Michael , Balasubramanian Meena 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe describe clinical details, including novel findings, of two further children with the newly defined TLK2‐related disorder. One patient was recruited to the Deciphering Developmental Delay (DDD) Study to identify underlying etiology of global developmental delay. The other was detected on whole‐exome sequencing as part of second line investigations following normal microarray. Both patients were found to have de novo heterozygous pathogenic TLK2 variants. A novel c.6del p.(Glu3Lysfs*) loss‐of‐function frameshift variant was found in Patient 1. A c.1121+1G>A splice‐donor variant was detected in Patient 2. TLK2‐related neurodevelopmental disorder is a specific syndrome that has been recently described. Global developmental delay, behavioral problems, gastrointestinal disorders, and typical facial dysmorphism are common features. Neuropsychiatric disorders, ophthalmic, musculoskeletal and cranial abnormalities, as well as short stature, have also all been described. The novel findings we describe include sleep disturbance, nondifferentiation of lateral semi‐circular canals (where asymmetric semi‐circular canals were a feature in the previous cohort), vesico‐ureteric reflux, and bilateral periauricular skin tags. Here, we report a novel TLK2 variant and previously undescribed features of TLK2‐related disorder, to expand the clinical phenotype and provide further genotype–phenotype correlation.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe Ehlers‐Danlos Society Extension for Community Health Care Outcomes (EDS ECHO) is a portfolio of teleconferencing programs developed around the principles and practices of Project ECHO®, aimed at increasing awareness of Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) among clinicians, enhancing their confidence in the assessment and management of these complex conditions, and generating networks of clinicians across specialties. We assessed the outcomes of the first EDS ECHO program, launched in April 2019, with two hub locations: Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and The Royal Society of Medicine, London, UK. Clinicians were surveyed before and 6 months after their participation. We describe the initial outcomes of the first four EDS ECHO programs, each comprising nine sessions. Participants reported increased levels of knowledge and confidence in providing care (93% and 95%, respectively) and an increase in referral network participation (65%). Additionally, 80% reported that their interest in EDS and HSD increased; 57% reporting a great increase. Also, 59% reported a decrease in feeling overwhelmed by EDS and HSD, and nearly half reported a decrease in their level of frustration because of participating in EDS ECHO. Clinicians participating in EDS ECHO programs know more, have more confidence in their ability to provide care, and feel energized by their participation.

Published: November 2021

AbstractA fully conjugated figure‐of‐eight nanohoop is presented with facile synthesis. The molecule's lemniscular skeleton features the combination of two strained oligoparaphenylene loops and a flexible cyclooctatetrathiophene core. Its rigid yet guest‐adaptive cavities enable the formation of the peanut‐like 1:2 host–guest complexes with C60 or C70, which have been confirmed by X‐ray crystallography and characterized in solution. Further computational studies suggest notable geometric variations and non‐covalent interactions of the cavities upon binding with different fullerenes, as well as overall conjugation comparable to cycloparaphenylenes.
Geometrically Constrained Cationic Low‐Coordinate Tetrylenes: Highly Lewis Acidic σ‐Donor Ligands in Catalytic Systems
Authors: Keil Philip M. , Hadlington Terrance J. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractA novel non‐innocent ligand class, namely cationic single‐centre ambiphiles, is reported in the phosphine‐functionalised cationic tetrylene Ni0 complexes, [PhRDippENi(PPh3)3]+ (4 a/b (Ge) and 5 (Sn); PhRDipp={[Ph2PCH2SiR2](Dipp)N}−; R=Ph, iPr; Dipp=2,6‐iPr2C6H3). The inherent electronic nature of low‐coordinate tetryliumylidenes, combined with the geometrically constrained [N−E−Ni] bending angle enforced by the chelating phosphine arm in these complexes, leads to strongly electrophilic EII centres which readily bind nucleophiles, reversibly in the case of NH3. Further, the GeII centre in 4 a/b readily abstracts the fluoride ion from [SbF6]− to form the fluoro‐germylene complex PhRDippGe(F)Ni(PPh3)3 9, despite this GeII centre simultaneously being a σ‐donating ligand towards Ni0. Alongside the observed catalytic ability of 4 and 5 in the hydrosilylation of alkynes and alkenes, this forms an exciting introduction to a multi‐talented ligand class in cationic single‐centre ambiphiles.
Stereodivergent Attached‐Ring Synthesis via Non‐Covalent Interactions: A Short Formal Synthesis of Merrilactone A

Published: November 2021

AbstractA strategy to control the diastereoselectivity of bond formation at a prochiral attached‐ring bridgehead is reported. An unusual stereodivergent Michael reaction relies on basic vs. Lewis acidic conditions and non‐covalent interactions to control re‐ vs. si‐ facial selectivity en route to fully substituted attached‐rings. This divergency reflects differential engagement of one rotational isomer of the attached‐ring system. The successful synthesis of an erythro subtarget diastereomer ultimately leads to a short formal synthesis of merrilactone A.

Published: November 2021

AbstractA visible light photoredox catalytic method for the selective cleavage of single strong C−F bond in trifluoromethyl ketones is reported. Single electron reduction of trifluoromethyl ketones generates difluoromethyl radicals which can be engaged in intermolecular C−C bond formation with N‐methyl‐N‐arylmethacrylamides to furnish fluorine‐containing oxindole derivatives in good yields. The reaction shows excellent chemoselectivity with good functional group tolerance under mild conditions. 1,1,1,3,3,3‐Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a solvent plays a critical role for the selective single C−F bond cleavage. High‐level DFT calculations are depicted to shed light on the mechanism.

Published: November 2021

AbstractPoly(ethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PEF) is a biobased polyester with high gas barrier properties, tensile modulus, and strength. In PEF chain, in addition to ethylene furandicarboxylate repeat unit, there is also a small amount of diethylene glycol furandicarboxylate (DF) unit which is formed by etherification side reactions. However, the effect of DF unit in a wide composition range on polymer properties is still unclear. In this study, random poly(ethylene‐co‐diethylene glycol 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PEDF) copolymers were synthesized via melt copolycondensation of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. The copolymers were characterized and evaluated by intrinsic viscosity, 1H NMR, thermal transition, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile, impact, and O2 penetration tests. The copolymers are amorphous in the full composition range. The presence of less than 58 mol% DF unit in PEDFs neither improves the tensile ductility nor deteriorates the oxygen barrier performance, but reduces the glass transition temperature clearly. In comparison with poly(ethylene terephthalate), the PEDF copolymers containing <58 mol% DF unit have higher tensile modulus, strength, and O2 barrier properties.
„Smart Structures“ – aktive und passive Schwingungsreduktion von Bauwerken – Stand der Technik und Erfahrungen bei der praktischen Realisierung
Authors: Meinhardt Christian 
Published: November 2021

AbstractUm unerwünschte Bauwerksschwingungen zu reduzieren, greift man herkömmlicherweise auf die Strategie zurück, Masse bzw. Steifigkeit eines Bauwerks zu erhöhen. Diese Strategie ist jedoch häufig ineffizient und unwirtschaftlich. Daher kommt es vermehrt zum Einsatz von intelligenten Maßnahmen zur Schwingungsreduzierung. Neben längst etablierten passiven Systemen gibt es auch aktive oder adaptive Lösungen, welche sich an den Schwingungszustand eines Bauwerks anpassen und die auftretenden Bauwerksschwingungen gezielt reduzieren können. Das Innovationspotenzial hierbei liegt entweder in der Optimierung der dynamischen Parameter einer passiven Lösung sowie dem Erreichen dieser Kennwerte für alle relevanten Belastungszustände oder aber in der Implementierung einer semiaktiven, aktiven oder hybriden Schwingungskontrolle. Im Folgenden sollen diese Maßnahmen näher beschrieben und anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen (eigene Erfahrungen und in der Literatur beschriebene) illustriert werden. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf Massendämpfern, welche als semiaktive, aktive, adaptive oder hybride Systeme appliziert werden können. Neben der generellen Wirkungsweise wird auch die Auswahl geeigneterer Aktoren und Regelungskonzepte näher betrachtet.
Optimized Hybrid Structures in Bridge Construction
Authors: Kasuga Akio 
Published: November 2021

AbstractHybrid structures have two major objectives. One is to make concrete structures lighter by combining different technologies. And another is to make structural functions clearer by combining different materials. This report outlines two examples of these objectives. The example of the first objective to make structure lighter is light‐weight bridges. We have been building many types of hybrid bridges, for example, the corrugated steel web type, the hybrid truss type and the composite girder type. However, when steel members are used, maintenance is required throughout the lifetime of the structure. To solve these issues, a new type of hybrid bridge has recently been developed – the butterfly web bridge. This new structure combines conventional concrete with high‐strength fibre‐reinforced concrete. The web consists of precast panels shaped like a butterfly wing. These members are reinforced using only prestressing steel in the tension area and have a thickness of just 15 cm. The remaining concrete members are cast‐in‐place. As a result, this new type of bridge achieves a weight reduction of 15 to 20 % compared with a conventional concrete box girder construction. The example of the second objective to make structural functions clear is the hybrid stay cable anchorage system in the tower of cable‐stayed and extradosed bridges. Basically, the steel absorbs the tensile forces of the horizontal component of the stay cable and the concrete absorbs the compressive forces of the vertical component. The steel box anchorage system developed during the 2000s has evolved to make its cheaper to construct in the 2010s. We have undertaken many experiments in our laboratory to confirm the structural behaviour of these evolving systems. The evolution of stay cable anchorage systems is outlined in this article.

Aerobic C−C Bond Cleavage Catalyzed by Whole‐Cell Cultures of the White‐Rot Fungus Dichomitus albidofuscus
Authors: Zhuk Tatyana S. , Babkina Valeriia V. , Zorn Holger 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWhole‐cell cultures of the basidiomycetous white‐rot fungus Dichomitus albidofuscus exhibit varying catalytic activity towards aromatic compounds depending on the growth stage. This study reveals the catalytic behavior of mature whole‐cell cultures that effectively catalyze a C−C bond cleavage oxidizing toluene, benzaldehyde and acetophenone to phenol. The reaction products were analyzed by GC‐MS and NMR techniques. To exclude the de novo formation of phenol by the fungus, its origin has been proven by bioconversion of benzaldehyde‐d5. The key step involves an aerobic Baeyer‐Villiger type rearrangement where the incorporation of oxygen into the product was confirmed based on isotope labelling experiments with 18O2. Intermediate esters were not found in reaction mixture presumably due to the detected esterase activity in the mycelium as well as in supernatant of the whole‐cell cultures. As a result, the sequence of biocatalytic reactions catalyzed by D. albidofuscus for the degradation of toluene via C−C bond cleavage has been disclosed.
