Published: March 2021

Abstract
Constructing shelters is one of the most important precautions to reduce human casualties during disasters. The critical point in locating the shelter is the selection of the proper site. Unless shelters are placed in the right locations, they cannot serve as lifesaving tools. In this article, shelter site selection for a conflict area in Syria is taken into account. Notoriously, Syria has been facing these conflicts since 2011 and the intensity of the incidents is varying from region to region. Thus, in this study, Maar Shurin Community of Idlib is chosen as the study area because of its high airstrike/casualty statistics in 2018. A geographic information system (GIS) and its multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) tools are used for determining the shelter site. Four different scenarios based on different criteria weights are generated to provide alternative solutions. It is believed that the outputs of the proposed methodology can help the local administration to solve its real-life problems.
Hacia una identificación de la realidad política
Authors: Barraza Ibarra Jorge 
Published: March 2021

La finalización del conflicto armado y la firma de los Acuerdos de Chapultepec entre el gobierno del entonces Presidente Alfredo Cristiani y la guerrilla, representada por el FMLN, dio paso a la conformación de nuevos espacios políticos cuya finalidad era la de conjugar armoniosamente dos visiones diferentes de la realidad del país y sus perspectivas políticas.Fundamentados los Acuerdos en el marco de un compromiso democrático, la apertura hacia una normal participación ideológica y política se convenía en un requisito indispensable y fundamental para obtener las mejores decisiones para la conducción del país en un clima de respeto, del debate de altura, y de un compromiso indelegable en beneficio de la comunidad entera.Después de diez años de gobierno del derechista partido ARENA, la población votante en las últimas elecciones presidenciales decidió renovar a este partido político un tercer período presidencial en la persona de Francisco flores.Al tomar posesión de su cargo el primero de junio de 1999 el nuevo presidente ofreció una serie de alianzas con los diversos sectores del país para resolver los problemas que mantenían empantanada la marcha del país, pero sobre todo ofreció una nueva forma de hacer política basada en la consideración de las opiniones de todos los sectores de la vida pública y un proceso de concertación para la toma de decisiones.
New skull material of Pleistocene dwarf deer from Crete (Greece)
Authors: SCHILLING Ann-Marie , RÖSSNER Gertrud E. 
Published: March 2021

In the Pleistocene faunas of the island of Crete, Cervidae was one of the most abundant taxa. Respective species vary in body size, including dwarfs, and skeletal morphology; however, the number of species and the identity of the mainland ancestor(s) are still debated. In this paper, we morphologically and morpho­metrically describe and analyze eight skulls of Cretan deer from a so far little known fossil site near Gerani, Rethymnon, Greece. The recorded character suite allows for affiliation to dwarfed Candiacervus Kuss, 1975, Candiacervus ropalophorus de Vos, 1984 and C. reumeri van der Geer, 2018. It comprises previously unknown unique traits, some of them hinting to sexual dimorphism. Comparisons of the Candiacervus skulls presented here with those of cervids belonging to Megalocerotini Brooke, 1828, s.s. and s.l. stress certain similarities; yet more material is needed to reconstruct Candiacervus’ phylo­genetic position. The newly detected craniodental specifics allow for more insights into island adaptation of Candiacervus; at the same time, they blur the morphological heritage of their mainland ancestors.
Development and validation of bioimpedance prediction equations for fat-free mass in unilateral male amputees
Authors: Choi Hyuk-Jae , Ko Chang-Yong , Chang Yunhee , Kim Gyoo-Suk , Choi Kyungsik , Kim Chul-Hyun 
Published: March 2021

Background
Metabolic disease due to increased fat mass is observed in amputees (APTs), thereby restricting their activity. Systemic health management with periodic body composition (BC) testing is essential for healthy living. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive and low-cost method to test BC; however, the APTs are classified as being exempted in the BIA.

Objective
To develop segmental estimated regression equations (sEREs) for determining the fat-free mass (FFM, kg) suitable for APTs and improve the accuracy and validity of the sERE.

Methods
Seventy-five male APTs participated in this cross-sectional study. Multiple regression analysis was performed to develop highly accurate sEREs of BIA based on independent variables derived from anthropometric measurements, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and BIA parameters. The difference in validity between the predicted DXA and sum of the segmentally-predicted FFM values by sEREs (Sum_sEREs) values was evaluated using bivariate linear regression analysis and the Bland–Altman plot.

Results
The coefficient of determination (R2) and total error (TE) between DXA and Sum_sEREs were 71% and 5.4 (kg) in the cross-validation analysis.

Conclusions
We confirmed the possibility of evaluating the FFM of APTs through the sEREs developed in this study. We also identified several independent variables that should be considered while developing such sEREs. Further studies are required to determine the validity of our sEREs and the most appropriate BIA frequencies for measuring FFM in APTs.
Differences between fixed day shift nurses and rotating and irregular shift nurses in work-related musculoskeletal disorders: A literature review and meta-analysis
Authors: Chang Wen-Pei , Peng Yu-Xuan 
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are common occupational injuries for nurses. Furthermore, rotating and irregular shift work may exacerbate muscle tension and pain in nurses. The objective of this study was to examine the differences between fixed day shift (FDS) nurses and rotating and irregular shift (RS + IS) nurses in WMSDs using a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.

Methods
Databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies published between 2010 and 2020 using the target keywords.

Results
This study obtained data on a total of 18 199 nurses, among which 12 786 comprised the RS + IS group and 5413 constituted the FDS group. The result of the heterogeneity test was Q = 79.27 (P &lt; .001) and I squared = 57.11%, indicating that heterogeneity existed among the studies. Subgroup analyses were also conducted with four groups: neck pain (n = 1818), shoulder and upper limb pain (n = 2525), back pain (n = 11 962), and hip and lower limb pain (n = 1894). Significant differences were found between the RS + IS group and the FDS group with regard to back pain, with the forest plot presenting an odds ratio equaling 1.40 (95% CI: 1.19–1.64, P &lt; .001).

Conclusions
This meta-analysis indicated that RS + IS nurses are more likely to experience back pain associated with WMSD than are FDS nurses. The results can serve as a reference to the clinical management for work improvement and thereby reduce or prevent the adverse effects of rotating and irregular shift work on back pain experienced by nurses.
Association between work style and presenteeism in the Japanese service sector
Authors: Ishimaru Tomohiro , Fujino Yoshihisa 
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Objectives
To address ongoing problems concerning population aging and labor shortages in Japan, employers have sought to improve work efficiency and labor productivity. However, it is unclear how presenteeism is affected by working styles in line with current corporate initiatives, such as reduced working hours, varied employment status, and flexible work arrangements. The purpose of this article was to investigate the association between work style and presenteeism.

Methods
This cross-sectional study extracted data from employee profiles, employee attendance records, and a questionnaire in a large service sector company. Multiple linear regression was conducted to estimate the contributions of work style variables to the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) index score.

Results
In total, 21 500 participants were eligible for analysis. The WLQ index was lower for those working &lt; 35 h/week (adjusted regression coefficient [ARC]:−0.35%; 95% CI: −0.48 to − 0.21) and higher for those working 40-44 h/week or ≥ 45 h/week, compared with those working 35-39 h/week. The position of team manager was positively associated with the WLQ index, whereas senior manager (ARC: −1.44%; 95% CI: −1.71 to − 1.17) and part-time staff (ARC: −1.75%; 95% CI: −1.98 to − 1.52) positions were negatively associated with the WLQ index, compared with non-managers. Those who worked remotely had significantly lower WLQ index scores (ARC: −0.61%; 95% CI: −0.95 to − 0.27).

Conclusions
Reduced working hours and flexible work arrangements were associated with lower work limitations, which imply presenteeism, although additional research is necessary to verify these results.

AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the levels of neurofilaments (NFs) in transgenic mice and patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and to evaluate their efficacy as a biomarker in SMA.MethodsThe levels of NF mRNA transcripts were measured by quantitative real‐time PCR in spinal cord from SMA mice. Blood levels of NF heavy chain (NfH) from mice and patients were measured by an in‐house ELISA method. The response of NFs to therapeutic intervention was analysed in severe SMA mice treated with morpholino antisense oligonucleotides.ResultsSignificant changes in NF transcript and protein in spinal cord and protein levels in blood were detected in SMA mice with severe or mild phenotypes, at different time points. A decrease in blood levels of NfH after antisense oligonucleotide treatment was only transient in the mice, despite the persistent benefit on the disease phenotype. A drastic reduction of over 90% in blood levels of NfF was observed in both control and SMA mice during early postnatal development. In contrast, blood levels of NfH were found to be decreased in older SMA children with chronic disease progression.InterpretationOur results show that blood NfH levels are informative in indicating disease onset and response to antisense oligonucleotides treatment in SMA mice, and indicate their potential as a peripheral marker reflecting the pathological status in central nervous system. In older patients with chronic SMA, however, the lower NfH levels may limit their application as biomarker, highlighting the need to continue to pursue additional biomarkers for this group of patients.
Dynamics of temporal experience in active and passive waiting situations
Authors: Ehret Sonja , Trukenbrod Anna K. , Thomaschke Roland 
Published: March 2021

SummaryActivities can have substantial impacts on temporal experience. We investigated how the impact of being active develops dynamically over the course of long waiting times. Participants waited in a library building, either sitting passively or walking around actively, for between 60 and 100 minutes. Retrospectively, they reported how different aspects of their temporal experiences developed throughout their wait: duration judgments, passage of time judgments, and general awareness of time. Duration was estimated to be shorter in the passive than in the active condition throughout the wait. In an early phase, the passage of time felt slower and time awareness was felt to be higher in the passive condition. Yet, this difference was resolved over the course of the wait. We conclude that the effects of activity on temporal experiences decrease over longer waiting periods.
An Instant Change of Elastic Lattice Strain during Cu2Se Phase Transition: Origin of Abnormal Thermoelectric Properties
Authors: Bai Hui , Su Xianli , Yang Dongwang , Zhang Qingjie , Tan Gangjian , Uher Ctirad , Tang Xinfeng , Wu Jinsong 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThe superionic conductor Cu2Se is a promising thermoelectric material due to its low thermal conductivity. An abnormal but clear change in the thermoelectric parameters has been observed during the phase transformation from the ordered and non‐cubic α‐Cu2Se to the disordered and cubic β‐Cu2Se. However, the microstructural origin of the abnormal change and its implications for thermoelectric applications remain largely unknown. Herein, by mimicking the real working conditions of thermoelectrics, the phase transition from α‐ to β‐Cu2Se induced by the rising temperature has been carefully investigated by in situ transmission electron microscopy. It is observed that an abrupt and anisotropic volume‐change in the Se‐sublattice occurs when the temperature is raised to the phase transition point. The abnormal change in the crystalline volume versus temperature, which is caused by the local migration of Cu‐ions, induces an instant and uncommon strain‐field, which reduces the carrier's mobility and increases the electrical resistance. Local migration of Cu‐ions is responsible for a quite low thermal conductivity. Such effects exist only at the instance of the phase transition. Observing the thermoelectric response of the structure during the phase transition may provide insights into the development of high performance thermoelectric materials, which fall beyond the traditional approaches.

Published: March 2021

AbstractThere is a great appeal to develop an omnipotent player combining lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) with the capacitive storage communities. Hybrid capacitors as a kind of promising energy storage device are attracting increasing attention in the main playground in recent years. Unlike supercapacitors (SCs) and LIBs, hybrid capacitors combine a capacitive electrode with a Faradaic battery electrode. In these hybrid cells, the capacitive electrode brings the power while the energy mainly comes from the Faradaic one. Numerous efforts have been conducted in the past decades; however, the research about hybrid capacitors is still at its infancy stage, and it is not expected to replace LIBs or SCs in the near future utterly. Here, the advances of hybrid capacitors, including insertion‐type materials, lithium‐ion capacitors, and sodium‐ion capacitors, are reviewed. This review aims to offer useful guidance for the design of faradic battery electrodes and hybrid cell construction. Brief challenges and opportunities for future research on hybrid capacitors are finally presented.

Published: March 2021

AbstractAnti‐angiogenic therapy, targeting vascular endothelial cells (ECs) to prevent tumor growth, has been attracting increasing attention in recent years, beginning with bevacizumab (Avastin) through its Phase II/III clinical trials on solid tumors. However, these trials showed only modest clinical efficiency; moreover, anti‐angiogenic therapy may induce acquired resistance to the drugs employed. Combining advanced drug delivery techniques (e.g., nanotechnology) or other therapeutic strategies (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy) with anti‐angiogenic therapy results in significantly synergistic effects and has opened a new horizon in fighting cancer. Herein, clinical difficulties in using traditional anti‐angiogenic therapy are discussed. Then, several promising applications of anti‐angiogenic nanoagents in monotherapies and combination therapies are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of anti‐angiogenic cancer therapy are summarized. A useful introduction to anti‐angiogenic strategies, which may significantly improve therapeutic outcomes, is thus provided.

Published: March 2021

AbstractFrom typical electrical appliances to thriving intelligent robots, the exchange of information between humans and machines has mainly relied on the contact sensor medium. However, this kind of contact interaction can cause severe problems, such as inevitable mechanical wear and cross‐infection of bacteria or viruses between the users, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Therefore, revolutionary noncontact human–machine interaction (HMI) is highly desired in remote online detection and noncontact control systems. In this study, a flexible high‐sensitivity humidity sensor and array are presented, fabricated by anchoring multilayer graphene (MG) into electrospun polyamide (PA) 66. The sensor works in noncontact mode for asthma detection, via monitoring the respiration rate in real time, and remote alarm systems and provides touchless interfaces in medicine delivery for bedridden patients. The physical structure of the large specific surface area and the chemical structure of the abundant water‐absorbing functional groups of the PA66 nanofiber networks contribute to the high performance synergistically. This work can lead to a new era of noncontact HMI without the risk of contagiousness and provide a general and effective strategy for the development of smart electronics that require noncontact interaction.
Single Atom‐Based Nanoarchitectured Electrodes for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Published: March 2021

AbstractLithium−sulfur (Li−S) batteries have attracted particular interest as promising next‐generation energy storage devices because of their high theoretical energy density and low cost. The real performance of Li−S batteries is, however, far from achieving the expected values, even when using a porous, highly conductive host of sulfurs to improve their electric conductivity and accommodate their volume changes. The performance restrictions are mainly attributable to the slow reaction kinetics of converting lithium polysulfides species to lithium sulfide and elemental sulfur during the charging and discharging processes, respectively. Recent studies show that single‐atom catalysts (SACs) with superior catalytic activity offer an effective strategy for solving this tough issue. The recent advances in utilizing SACs for Li−S batteries, which involve catalyst preparation, battery performance, and mechanistic insights, are summarized here. Modification of the cathodes and separators with SACs helps to absorb polysulfide and promote their conversion kinetics, thus suppressing the notorious “shuttle effect.” In addition, the introduction of SACs into Li−S batteries promotes the efficiency of Li stripping/plating and prevents the growth of Li dendrites. Overall, the boost effects of SAC on Li−S batteries performance are noticeable and deserving of more research attention to develop better Li−S batteries.
Two‐Tier Nanolaminate Plasmonic Crystals for Broadband Multiresonant Light Concentration with Spatial Mode Overlap

Published: March 2021

AbstractEffective trapping and nanolocalization of different colored photons simultaneously at the same position remain a challenge in nanophotonics research but can boost applications based on nonlinear multiphoton processes. For achieving broadband nanoscale light concentration, a promising strategy is to employ multiresonant plasmonic devices that support multiple hybridized surface plasmon modes with spatial overlap at several different resonance wavelengths. However, high‐order plasmonic modes from hybridization tend to have a dark multipolar nature and are less useful due to weak interactions with free‐space light. Here, it is reported that nanolaminate plasmonic crystals in a two‐tier configuration can support many (≈10) spatially overlapped and highly‐excitable hybridized plasmonic modes under free‐space light illumination between 400 and 1400 nm. Combination of nanoimprinting lithography and multilayered physical vapor deposition techniques enables wafer‐scale fabrication of nanolaminate plasmonic crystals consisting of nanolaminate nanodome and nanohole arrays as the two closely‐separated subsystems, and measurements demonstrate their multiresonant plasmonic responses in good agreement with numerical calculations. Coupled‐mode theory analysis reveals that the unique broadband multiresonant responses of the two‐tier nanolaminate plasmonic crystals are due to the synergistic effects of the strong near‐field interactions between the modes in the nanodome and nanohole subsystems and the ground‐plane‐like loading effect from the nanohole subsystem.
