AbstractAqueous zinc−ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered a promising choice for energy storage devices owing to the excellent safety and favorable capacity of the Zn anode. However, the uncontrolled dendrite growth of Zn anode severely constrains the practical applications of AZIBs. Herein, a novel ion enrichment layer of CuS is designed and constructed on the Zn foil surface to achieve dendrite−free Zn anode. This CuS with appropriate Zn affinity and hollow architecture exhibits ion enriching characteristics. Furthermore, CuS@Zn anode can significantly reduce de−solvation barriers of hydrated Zn2+, promoting Zn2+ migration and minimizing nucleation overpotential. Benefiting from the above results, the Zn deposition kinetics are effectively improved. As expected, the CuS@Zn anode exhibits significantly improved Zn plating/stripping reversibility for 1000 h at 1 mA cm−2 and 900 h at 5 mA cm−2. Furthermore, the assembled CuS@Zn||MnO2 full battery also exhibits superior rate performance and cycling stability. This work provides a feasible method to achieve uniform and dense Zn deposition for the stabilization of Zn anode.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis article proposes a method for preventing sensitive information leakage in network documents based on differential privacy models to ensure the security of sensitive information in network documents. Based on the definition of differential privacy and its Laplace mechanism, a differential privacy model was constructed to prevent sensitive information leakage in network documents. Using differential privacy based Laplace mechanism to protect the sensitive information dataset of network documents, and inputting the sensitive information dataset of network documents into the differential privacy model, the sensitive information in network documents is generalized and perturbed, and Laplace noise is added after transformation and compression to prevent leakage. Using roulette wheel sampling technology to sample and sort the original histograms of sensitive data in network documents, using a hierarchical partitioning algorithm to group the sorted histograms, and adding Laplace noise to the groups based on differential confidentiality Laplace mechanism to achieve leak prevention when publishing sensitive messages in network documents. The experimental results show that this method can ensure the security of sensitive information data in network documents and prevent sensitive information leakage in network documents. There is no data loss during the data conversion and compression process of sensitive information. At the same time, the protection effect of sensitive information is less affected by the amount of data, and the loss rate of sensitive information is lower.
Traditional Market as a Public Space: Thomas Karsten’s Design for Johar Market in Semarang (1906–1939)
Authors: Surendro Annisa Maghfira , Kanumoyoso Bondan 
Published: December 2024

AbstractFor the first 10 years that Semarang was a municipality, the city council took over the traditional markets with the help of an architect and urban planning expert from the Netherlands, Thomas Karsten (1884–1945), as an early step in managing the economic spaces in Semarang. This chapter looks at Karsten’s design for Johar Market, mainly at how he managed to slowly replace the race segregation by managing economic spaces to act as a public space. His idea to design the traditional markets as the city’s public spaces where anyone of any race or ethnicity could mingle economically had been rare in ethnically divided colonial societies. The chapter ends with the status of Johar Market today, which is not auspicious, but with an acknowledgment of the clear impacts of Karsten’s ideas even in markets today.
The 2017 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election: The Production of Post-Truth and the Islamic, Urban, Middle-Class Identity
Authors: Acikgenc Gigay Citta , Pratama Herdito Sandi 
Published: December 2024

AbstractAs a previously overlooked source of knowledge, testimony now plays a prominent role in the age of digital information. With the advancement of technology, the internet has become our source of everyday information. It marks the urge to understand how testimony works and affects our social life, including the processes of public opinion formation that becomes accepted as “truth,” which, in turn, may affect the political mobility of voters and power dynamics in urban politics. This phenomenon is illustrated through an analysis of the social media campaign strategy of the election candidates of the DKI Jakarta Governor’s election in 2017. This chapter emphasizes that the reliability of testimony as a source of knowledge is doubtful when truth is not valued by society as a whole. The implication is seen in the public election wherein the winning candidate was chosen due to irrational considerations, including primordial considerations related to religion and race.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Among writing substrates produced historically in different regions of the world, paper is one of the most complex materials. Its complexity results not only from a variety of highly processed ingredients, which can be used in its production, but also from a variety of methods in which these materials are combined to form the fibrillar network referred to as paper. While material identification methods are well established in the analysis of historical papers, the identification of manufacturing technologies is still an under-researched topic, that requires the development of appropriate methods and measurement protocols. This paper reports on the results of a research project aimed at the application of synchrotron scanning small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method in the characterization of paper structure, with emphasis on the assessment of fibrillar orientation as a marker characteristic for different, historical papermaking technologies. The main objective of this study consists of the development of a measurement protocol involving the SAXS technique complemented by other analytical methods in the characterization of the fibrous paper structure.

Authors: Klasan Antonio , Donati Cedric , Compagnoni Riccardo , Grassi Alberto , Musahl Volker , Menetrey Jacques 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) is the cornerstone of clinical research for surgical disciplines, but the use in daily routine can be challenging. One of the most widespread PROMS in knee surgery is the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential correlation of the IKDC score with a patient’s subjective assessment of the knee using a single question. We hypothesized a correlation between the IKDC score and single question score.

Methods
A prospective, single center study in a comprehensive knee outpatient clinic was performed. Patients willing to participate, presenting in the clinic for the first time were asked to complete the IKDC questionnaire and to answer the question: ”How does your knee know compare to when you were 16 years old, in percentage?” Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression were used to analyze the IKDC score and the single-question percentage.

Results
After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 310 patients were included. The mean age of the participants was 43.3 ± 9.6 years, and 45.2% of the patients were female. Mean IKDC score was 41.11 ± 13.13, compared to the mean score of the single-question 40.90 ± 22.7 (p = 0.887). The correlation between the IKDC score and the single-question was significant (p < 0.001), however, the person coefficient was 0.460, indicating moderate correlation. The linear regression analysis was also statistically significant (p < 0.001), but with a model fitness of r2 = 0.211 and B = 0.266. From the 310 patients, 305 (98.4%) found the single-question of more relevance than the IKDC score.

Conclusion
IKDC score and a simple, subjective, knee self-evaluation using a single question demonstrate moderate correlation. The single question can be used for better understanding of discrepancy between the objective score and the patients’ subjective perception of knee function or as a fast, single question proxy score.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Lumbar puncture (LP) is a critical diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of neurological diseases. Although considered safe, complications such as post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), back pain, subdural hematoma or venous sinus thrombosis may still occur. Whether the use of antiplatelet therapy (APT) increases the risk of complications after LP, remains unclear.

Methods
This retrospective observational study included 783 patients who underwent diagnostic LP. We employed multivariate logistic regression models with complications as the dependent variable, and APT as the independent variable, adjusting for potential confounders.

Results
Among 783 patients included (54.0% female, median age 48 years [IQR 33–64], median BMI 24.7 kg/m2 [IQR 21.8–28.3], 111 [14.2%] receiving APT), complications were observed in 182 (23.2%) patients. The most common complications were PDPH and back pain in 152 (19.4%) and 42 (5.4%) patients, respectively. Venous sinus thrombosis occurred in one (0.1%) patient. In the multivariate logistic regression model, younger age (OR 1.49 per 10 years, 95% CI 1.32–1.69, p < 0.001) and female sex (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.19–2.54, p = 0.005) were associated with higher likelihood of complications, whereas APT (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.30–1.36, p = 0.241) and the final diagnosis were not.

Conclusion
Complications following LP occur in approximately one fourth of patients, with younger age and female sex being significant risk factors. As APT is not associated with increased risk of complications, withholding LP in patients on APT may not be necessary.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study evaluated the efficacy of ninjin’yoeito for alleviating postoperative symptoms after lung cancer surgery.

Methods
Overall, 140 patients who underwent lobectomy were randomized into a conventional treatment group and a ninjin’yoeito group. The primary endpoint was change in the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) score from baseline and the secondary endpoints were the Cancer Dyspnea Scale (CDS) scores, the Kihon Checklist, and respiratory function.

Results
The mean change in the CFS score 8 weeks postoperatively was − 5.56 in the ninjin’yoeito group and − 5.53 in the conventional treatment group (P = 0.425), but this outcome did not meet the primary endpoint. Changes in the mean CDS scores 8 weeks postoperatively were − 5.60 and − 3.38 in the ninjin’yoeito and conventional groups, respectively, with a difference of − 1.95 (P = 0.049). The changes in the mean vital capacity 8 weeks postoperatively were − 340.5 mL in the ninjin’yoeito group and − 473.5 mL in the conventional treatment group, with a difference of + 135.1 mL (P = 0.041). The ninjin’yoeito group had a significantly lower proportion of patients with malnutrition 16 weeks postoperatively than the conventional treatment group (P = 0.040).

Conclusion
The results of this study show that ninjin’yoeito is effective for alleviating respiratory symptoms and improving malnutrition after lung cancer surgery.
Ultra-sensitive detection of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid herbicide using a porous Co-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate /montmorillonite nanocomposite sensor
Authors: Elfiky Mona , Abdo Moa’mena , Darwesh Mona , Salahuddin Nehal 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The detection of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (CMPA) herbicide is crucial due to the potential health risks linked to exposure through drinking water, air, and food, which may adversely affect liver and kidney functions. To address this environmental concern and promote sustainable agriculture, a sensitive carbon paste sensor incorporating a composite material was developed. The composite sensor is based on porous cobalt-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate metal–organic framework and exfoliated montmorillonite nanolayers (Co-OF/MMt). This sensor enables the voltammetric detection of CMPA in real soil samples using linear sweep adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry (LS-AdASV), facilitating early and accurate monitoring of herbicide levels. The Co-OF/MMt nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method involving the precipitation of Co-OF in the presence of MMt. Comprehensive characterization of the synthesized materials was carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM-Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) and surface area analysis (BET). The resulting modified carbon paste sensor, utilizing 1.0% Co-OF/MMt nanocomposite, exhibited superior electrochemical properties compared with the bare carbon paste sensor, possessing an electroactive surface area of 1004.1 m2/g with a minimal resistivity (Rct) of 330 Ω. Under standard operating conditions, the developed sensor demonstrated detection limits of 0.03 nM and 0.1 nM across two broad linear ranges (0.03 to 0.10 nM – 0.10 to 1.0 nM) and (0.1 to 1.0 nM – 1.0 to 7.0 nM), respectively, for CMPA determination in both bulk and soil samples. These results pointed out the promising electrochemical modified sensor for the direct and simple detection of certain herbicides in environmental matrices, without the need for sample pretreatment steps. This capability supports sustainable development goals by enhancing effective environmental monitoring.

Published: December 2024

AbstractSpasmodic dysphonia (SD) is now generally considered to be a task-specific focal dystonia. For the first time, we wanted to explore the relationship between SD and dystonia from a combined neurological and phoniatric perspective. For this, we studied 115 patients with non-psychogenic SD by a combined neurological and phoniatric evaluation. Onset of SD was 49.7 ± 19.0 (6–68) years. The female/male ratio was 2. 63% had additional dystonia manifestations (cervical dystonia 35%, arm dystonia 15%, blepharospasm 11%, oromandibular dystonia 11%, writer’s cramp 11%, pharyngeal dystonia 10%, generalised dystonia 4%, axial dystonia 2%, spasmodic dyspnoea 2% and segmental dystonia 1%). 71% occurred before, 25% after and 4% together with SD. 17% had a family history of dystonia and 6% a history of exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents. 41% had mixed SD (SD-M), 31% abductor SD (SD-AB) and 28% adductor SD (SD-AD). SD-M was significantly correlated with additional dystonia manifestations and tremulous SD. No patient showed essential tremor or Parkinsonian syndromes. Two third of SD patients have additional dystonia manifestations and one fifth have a family history of dystonia, considerably more than previously described. In half of all patients, SD starts with non-SD dystonia. Our combined approach revealed a high prevalence of SD-M associated with frequent additional dystonia manifestations including dystonic tremor and a family history of dystonia. Patients presenting with SD should be evaluated for additional dystonia manifestations and dystonia patients should be evaluated for SD. Relevant coexistence of essential tremor and Parkinsonian syndromes cannot be confirmed.
Isoaspartate formation and irreversible aggregation of collapsin response mediator protein 2: implications for the etiology of epilepsy and age-related cognitive decline
Authors: Zhu Jeff X. , Aswad Dana W. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCollapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) functions in the genesis and activity of neuronal connections in mammalian brain. We previously reported that a protein coincident with CRMP2 on 2D-gels undergoes marked accumulation of abnormal L-isoaspartyl sites in brain extracts of mice missing the repair enzyme, protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT). To confirm and explore the significance of isoaspartyl damage in CRMP2, we expressed and purified recombinant mouse CRMP2 (rCRMP2). A polyclonal antibody made against the recombinant protein precipitated CRMP2 from brain extracts of PIMT-KO mice, but not from WT mice, suggesting that (1) the rCRMP2 antigen underwent significant isoAsp formation in the process of antibody production and (2) the isoAsp form of CRMP2 is considerably more immunogenic than the native protein. In vitro aging of rCRMP2 at pH 7.4, 37 °C for 0–28 days led to robust accumulation of isoAsp sites that were repairable by PIMT, and also induced a progressive accumulation of apparent dimers and higher-mass oligomers as judged by SDS-PAGE. A similar pattern of CRMP2 aggregation was observed in mice, with levels increasing throughout the lifespan. We conclude that CRMP2 is indeed a major target of PIMT-mediated protein repair in the brain; that isoAsp forms of CRMP2 are highly immunogenic; and that CRMP2 dysfunction makes a significant contribution to neuropathology in the PIMT-KO mouse.

Abstract
Background
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular disorder, often leading to wheelchair dependence by age 13 with limited treatment options, largely relying on glucocorticosteroids. We assessed the efficacy and safety of vamorolone, a modified synthetic corticosteroid, for DMD.

Methods
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis using seven databases including prospective studies comparing vamorolone with glucocorticosteroids or placebo in DMD patients. We extracted data on efficacy and safety outcomes. We built fixed effects models to assess mean differences. (PROSPERO: CRD42023396908).

Results
Out of 210 identified records, two study reports were included in meta-analysis providing data from 210 patients. Vamorolone at 2.0 mg/kg/day was associated with improvement time to climb four stairs velocity (MD = 0.05 95% CI [0.03 to 0.08] P = 0.0002), and time stand from supine velocity (MD = 0.07 95% CI [0.01 to 0.07] P = 0.007). A higher dose of 6.0 mg/kg/day was additionally associated with higher time to run/walk 10 m velocity (MD = 0.10 95% CI [-0.0.1 to 0.21] P = 0.07, I2 = 0%). Among these beneficial effects only improvement in time to climb four stairs velocity was sustained after a follow-up period of 30 months. Vamorolone did not inhibit growth but increased the risk of weight gain, suppression of adrenal function, and insulin resistance.

Conclusion
The results of our systematic review and meta-analyis are suggestive of improved efficacy and safety of vamorolone for DMD compared to standard glucocorticosteroids but the external validity of these findings as well as the medication’s long-term effects remain to be determined.
Conventional teaching vs. e-learning: A case study of German undergraduate biology students
Authors: Bauermeister Tim , Janßen Nina , Engler John-Oliver 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDigital learning environments such as virtual laboratories have been proposed to augment or even replace conventional forms of teaching in recent years. While there is some evidence on comparable learning outcomes between real and virtual labs, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of virtual labs as compared to conventional face-to-face teaching is largely lacking. Here, we used the virtual lab platform Labster in a first-year undergraduate course on general biology to evaluate its effectiveness against conventional teaching using a repeated measure randomized control trial (treatment group n = 131, control group n = 108). We find no evidence for a difference in terms of learning success between treatment and control groups, consistent with empirical studies on real vs. virtual labs. However, Labster exposure led to a more positive attitude towards e-learning, and a positive user experience was the strongest predictor of individual learning success, highlighting the importance of engagement in digital learning environments.
Quantitative ethnobotany of Afenmai people of Southern Nigeria: an assessment of their crop utilization, and preservation methods
Authors: Ogwu Matthew Chidozie , Ojo Aliu Olugbemiga , Osawaru Moses Edwin 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe study assessed crop utilization, preservation, and conservation methods in six local government areas (LGAs) that make up Afenmai land in Southern Nigeria. The Afenmai people use a total of 36 economic crops belonging to 20 higher plant families. Among these crops, only eight are used in all the LGAs that make up Afenmai including Amaranthus hybridus, Dioscorea rotundata, Ipomoea batatas, Musa paradisiaca, M. sapientum, Talinum triangulare, Telfairia occidentalis, and Vernonia amygdalina. The similarity in crop utilization patterns within Afenmai land using Jaccard’s index ranged from 38.24 to 100. The plants are mostly used fresh immature, fresh mature, processed immature, and processed mature. The highest use report of 481 was recorded from V. amygdalina whereas Saccharum officinarum had the lowest number of use report of 41. In addition, the results from the cultural value index analysis suggest V. amygdalina has the highest cultural value (0.38) whereas A. hybridus, Mangifera indica, Ocimum gratissimum, S. officinarum, Theobroma cacao, and Zea mays had the lowest value (0.01). The use category rank was in the order food > medicine > ornamental > others > building > religious and cultural. Individual crop ranking revealed Cocos nucifera > Elaeis guineensis > T. occidentalis and T. cacao as the 36th-ranked crop. Crops are stored using diverse traditional systems for periods ranging from less than a month to less than two years depending on the crop. Respondents believe traditional preservation methods either improve taste, make the taste worse, or are not sure of the benefits. In conclusion, there is a need for advocacy and public enlightenment campaigns to promote value-addition and sustainable post-harvest crop management in Afenmai land.
