Authors: Zada Muhammad , Khan Salman , Zada Shagufta , Dhar Bablu Kumar 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTCorporate social responsibility (CSR) leadership is increasingly recognized as a critical enabler of sustainable development, particularly within the context of organizational transformation. By fostering organizational learning and leveraging technological innovation, CSR leadership facilitates sustainable development outcomes (SDOs). This study examines the multifaceted role of CSR leadership in advancing SDOs, emphasizing the mediating influence of organizational green learning (OGL) and the moderating role of green technological adoption (GTA). Grounded in stakeholder theory and organizational learning theory, the research employs a time‐lagged survey design involving 417 employees from diverse sectors within Chinese manufacturing firms. The findings underscore that CSR leadership significantly enhances OGL by cultivating resource integration and environmental adaptability, which are pivotal in achieving SDOs. Furthermore, GTA is shown to amplify the positive relationship between OGL and SDOs, underscoring the necessity of technological readiness in embedding sustainability within organizational strategies. This study addresses key gaps in the literature by offering a comprehensive framework that links CSR leadership with green learning and technological innovation, providing both theoretical contributions and actionable insights. The findings have practical implications for managers and policymakers, particularly in resource‐intensive and innovation‐driven industries seeking to balance sustainability with economic objectives.

AbstractMillions worldwide grapple with diabetes mellitus, a global health burden lacking a definitive cure. The DrugRep, a web program for multi‐database drug discovery, remains unexplored for antidiabetic agents in non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Therefore, this study aimed to screen the TCM database using the fit‐docking approach to identify potential antidiabetic agents targeting NIDDM through virtual screening. From a pool of 2390 monomeric compounds, 50 lead compounds were identified based on their similarity to the reference compound, nateglinide. The selected compounds underwent in silico pharmacokinetic analysis (ADMET), revealing moderate to poor water solubility and suggesting suitability for oral administration. Molecular docking experiments found that curculigoside exhibited the most significant binding properties among the four lead compounds, forming stable hydrogen bonds with the target protein. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, principal component analysis (PCA), and free energy landscape (FEL) confirmed the stability of the curculigoside‐protein (PDB ID: 5HHW) complex, while MM‐GBSA free energy calculations indicated a favorable binding affinity. Overall, curculigoside emerges as a promising inhibitor for NIDDM due to its strong binding properties and interactions with key residues within the active pocket of the target protein. However, further research and validation studies are warranted to explore its therapeutic potential and effectiveness for NIDDM.

AbstractResearch SummaryWe study how unique firm technology influences M&A activity. Using a text‐based network approach, we map each firm's position relative to every other firm in technology space to measure the uniqueness of its technology portfolio. Our findings indicate that firms with more unique technology portfolios become prime acquisition targets, particularly for close competitors within the same product market segments. These competitors seek to reduce competition and incorporate unique technologies to strengthen their competitive advantage. Furthermore, firms with unique technology portfolios tend to attract acquirers with closer technological proximity, facilitating the evaluation and integration of these technology assets. Our study underscores unique technology as a critical asset in the market for corporate control and a key driver of M&A transactions.Managerial SummaryIn today's high‐tech business environment, M&As are pivotal strategies not just for growth and competitiveness but often specifically aimed at acquiring the technology of target firms. By analyzing US public firms, we demonstrate that those with unique technology portfolios attract more acquisition interest, particularly from close product market rivals. These rivals aim to reduce competition and strengthen their existing product business by incorporating the unique technology. Companies with unique technology are also particularly appealing to those within closer technological proximity, easing the evaluation and integration process. Our findings emphasize that possessing a unique technology portfolio is a vital asset in the market for corporate control and a major catalyst for mergers and acquisitions activities.

AbstractElectrochemical water splitting is a pivotal process for sustainable hydrogen energy production, relying on efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts, particularly in acidic environments, where both high activity and durability are crucial. Despite the favorable kinetics of platinum (Pt)‐based materials, their performance is hindered under harsh conditions, driving the search for alternatives. Due to their unique structural characteristic, Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) emerge as attractive candidates for designing efficient HER electrocatalysts. However, modulating their properties and functionalities is crucial to overcome their conductivity issue. Herein, a reconfiguration strategy for the dual‐driven surface restructuring of the CoFe PBA involving graphene quantum dots (GQD) and UV/ozone is proposed. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis revealed that dual‐driven reconstruction plays a pivotal role in promoting the high‐valence metal ions, effectively reducing charge transfer resistance—a key limitation in HER. The optimized CoFe PBA/GQD‐UV exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance toward HER, with a low overpotential of 77 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with excellent durability for 12 h under an extremely high current density of 500 mA cm−2 in an acidic solution. This dual‐combination strategy offering a new pathway to develop highly active electrocatalysts.

Authors: Wu Chao , Wu Feng 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWith the development and popularization of network technology, network security issues are increasingly being valued. The application of knowledge graph technology in network security can significantly enhance the level of protection, assist users and relevant departments in understanding overall trends of network security vulnerabilities, and swiftly identify and respond to security threats. To improve the analysis and response capabilities to network security threats, developing methods for identifying key nodes in the network is urgent. This research focuses on the degree centrality calculation method for nodes in a network security database based on knowledge graphs. We propose a novel approach for computing node degree centrality within a knowledge graph‐based network security database. The method comprises two main components: weight calculation and score calculation. Additionally, we have developed a node importance ranking module based on a network security knowledge graph derived from the CVE database, providing a faster and more accurate solution compared to manual methods. We then discuss the significant application value and promising development prospects of the knowledge graph‐based node degree centrality calculation method in the field of network security protection in future work.

AbstractStructural behavior of precast concrete sandwich panels under low‐velocity drop weight impact is presented in this paper. Three types of concrete panels are considered namely, solid concrete panel (SCP), concrete sandwich panels containing recycled tire crumb rubber as core (CRSP), and expanded polystyrene foam as core (FSP). The panels are reinforced with steel mesh or steel fibers. A total of 12 panels are cast in this study. Six panels are reinforced using steel mesh, and the other six panels are reinforced using steel fibers. The impact test is carried out by dropping a weight from a varying height to input impact energy, which can cause various levels of damage for all specimens. The structural performance is discussed in detail, including failure modes, impact force, deflection, and strain. It is found that the core material greatly affects the structural response of the precast concrete panels. The sandwich panel containing recycled tire crumb rubber performed well in terms of rebounding force, permanent deflections, and damage behavior by partially absorbing the impact energy in both types of reinforced concrete panels. In CRSP and FSP, the maximum deflection to permanent deflection ratio rose from 1.19 in SCP to 2.67 and 2.01, respectively. A decrease of 70% in strain value from the first impact to permanent strain was recorded in CRSP when reinforced using conventional steel mesh. In comparison to its counterpart FSP, the CRSP exhibited a significantly smaller fracture width on the tension face as a result of the core's ability to dissipate impact energy, resulting in lower deflections and less damage to the panel. The CRSP reinforced with steel fibers demonstrated comparable performance to the counterpart FSP in terms of energy absorption and deflection reduction; however, it performed noticeably better than the SCP reinforced with steel fibers by reducing residual deflection by 51.8 mm. Consequently, recycled tire crumb rubber can be used as a sustainable alternative to traditional core materials in precast concrete panels.
Subanesthetic Ketamine Ameliorates Activity‐Based Anorexia of Adult Mice
Authors: Dong Yiru , Aoki Chiye 
Published: January 2025

AbstractObjectiveAnorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder with the second highest mortality of all mental illnesses and high relapse rate, especially among adult females, yet with no accepted pharmacotherapy. A small number of studies have reported that adult females who struggled with severe and relapsing AN experienced sustained remission of the illness following ketamine infusions. Two other reports showed that 30 mg/kg IP ketamine can reduce vulnerability of adolescent mice to activity‐based anorexia (ABA), an animal model of AN. However, no study has tested the efficacy of ketamine on adult ABA mice. This study aimed to fill this gap in knowledge.MethodsForty‐one female mice underwent three cycles of ABA (ABA1, ABA2, and ABA3) to assess relapse vulnerability in adulthood. Of them, 13 received ketamine injections (30 mg/kg, 3 doses) during ABA2 (KET) in adulthood to assess ketamine's acute effects during ABA2 and ketamine's potential for sustained efficacy during ABA3, 10–13 days later. The remaining 28 received vehicle or no injections during ABA2 (CON).ResultsSevere weight loss (>20% of baseline) during ABA3 was observed for 89% of CON but only 69% of KET. Overall wheel running per day was significantly less for KET than CON (p < 0.01) throughout ABA2, including hours of food availability, and these reductions were sustained through ABA3. Food consumption was not altered significantly by ketamine.DiscussionThese findings suggest that ketamine may reduce adult females’ vulnerability to ABA and may protect women from AN relapse by reducing hyperactivity.

ABSTRACTBrain aging is a multifactorial process that includes a reduction in the biological and metabolic activity of individuals. Oxidative stress and inflammatory processes are characteristic of brain aging. Given the current problems, the need arises to implement new therapeutic approaches. Polyoxidovanadates (POV), as well as curcumin, have stood out for their participation in a variety of biological activities. This work aimed to evaluate the coupling of metavanadate and curcumin (Cuma‐MV) on learning, memory, redox balance, neuroinflammation, and cell death in the hippocampal region (CA1 and CA3) and dentate gyrus (DG) of aged rats. Rats 18 months old were administered a daily dose of curcumin (Cuma), sodium metavanadate (MV), or Cuma‐MV for two months. The results demonstrated that administration of Cuma‐MV for 60 days in aged rats improved short‐ and long‐term recognition memory, decreased reactive oxygen species, and substantially improved lipoperoxidation in the hippocampus. Furthermore, the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase increased in animals treated with Cuma‐MV. It is important to highlight that the treatment with Cuma‐MV exhibited a significantly greater effect than the treatments with MV or Cuma in all the parameters evaluated. Finally, we conclude that Cuma‐MV represents a potential therapeutic option in the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline associated with aging.

A Citizenship of Sharing: Transformations of an Urban Patron Saint
Authors: Rose Els 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe question as to what makes a city prosperous, and how a city responds to crises that challenge its resilience, yields different responses in different historical periods. The city of Utrecht offers a relevant case to study these questions from a cultural perspective because of the historically layered heritage of its answers. In the course of its history, the city changed roles a number of times. Founded as an outpost of the Roman military, it developed into the most important ecclesiastical centre of the northern Low Countries in the Middle Ages as well as an important crossroads of trade routes. Throughout that period, the urban community of Utrecht identified with its local patron saint, the charitable figure of Saint-Martin who shared his cloak with a poor beggar. Through the centuries, the celebration of the urban patron saint was a continuum, while it took different appearances and performative expressions. In recent decades, newly invented Saint Martin-traditions find expression in street performances and participatory art. These new traditions focus primarily on social cohesion through involving vulnerable and marginalized neighborhoods with culturally and religiously mixed populations in the traditional celebration of the patron saint. The language expressing cultural efforts to contribute to the sustainability and resilience of the city and its urban community shows the transformative power of both the urban populace and the symbolic figure of sharing and participation. While the medieval city responded to the libertas it acquired in 1122 with the building of walls, this same event was celebrated in 2022 under the title ‘Utrecht Without Walls’. In both historical moments, the same symbol of sharing and participation imagined by the traditional patron saint played a crucial role. The present chapter discusses the transformative power of an urban community relating to its ancient patron saint in new ways to address issues of inclusion, social cohesion, and prosperity in a modern city.

Abstract
Traditionally, there are two types of wood fiber insulation boards (WFIB), the rigid ones produced in the industry by a continuous steam process, bonded with polymer diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI), with densities between 80 and 200 kg/m3, and the flexible ones with densities under 80 kg/m3 produced by hot air, usually with bicomponent fibers as a binder. In this work, wood fiber insulation boards (WFIB) were produced with polylactic acid (PLA) as a binder by hot press (HP) and hot air (HA). WFIB with densities of 60 kg/m3, 80 kg/m3, 100 kg/m3 and 5%, 10% and 15% of PLA percentage were produced by hot press (HP) and hot air (HA). Wood and PLA fibers were examined by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and optical microscope. The WFIB were assessed for physical properties as density and short-term water absorption as well as for their resistance to compression as a mechanical property. Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were also tested. In the produced WFIB, the values of density follow the same pattern as water absorption, compression strength, and thermal conductivity. The polylactic acid (PLA) content improves mechanical value like compression and diminishes physical value such as short-term water absorption in WFIB. In conclusion, wood fiber insulation boards (WFIB) were successfully produced with polylactic acid (PLA) as a binder, by hot press (HP) and hot air (HA), reaching remarkably lower thermal conductivity values, comparable with commercial ones.

AbstractOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inheritable skeletal disorder characterized by bone fragility often caused by pathogenic variants in the COL1A1 gene. Current OI mouse models with a glycine substitution in Col1a1 exhibit excessive severity, thereby limiting long-term pathophysiological analysis and drug effect assessments. To address this limitation, we constructed a novel OI mouse model mimicking a patient with OI type III. This was achieved by introducing a G-to-A transversion at nucleotide position 2428 in the Col1a1 gene via CRISPR-Cas9 technology in C57BL/6 J mice. The resulting heterozygous variant mice (Col1a1G643S/+) displayed reduced body weight and pronounced skeletal abnormalities. Micro-CT analysis at 12 weeks revealed decreased vertebral bone parameters and altered cortical bone characteristics, indicative of bone fragility. Additionally, the abnormalities of the anisotropy, complexity, connectivity, and structure of trabecular bone were revealed. A three-point bending test confirmed the fragility, with reduced displacement and fracture energy in both sexes. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of 4-phenylbutyric acid on the bone in Col1a1G643S/+ mice at 12 weeks, observing no significant effects, likely due to the absence of collagen retention in the ER in this model. Despite being a moderate OI model, Col1a1G643S/+ mice manifest a distinct and fragile bone phenotype, making them suitable for extended studies. This model offers a valuable platform for investigating long-term pathophysiological aspects of OI and assessing the efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions.
