The present issue of the Spanish Journal of Palaeontology - SJP represents the fi rst one entirely produced by the new editorial team. At this point, it is necessary to acknowledge the work done by our predecessors, led by our colleague Julio Aguirre, who have been able to maintain the scientifi c quality and periodicity of the Journal. This is especially remarkable given the problems related to the fact that SJP is entirely produced by our society and not by a big editorial. Their selfl essly work has set the bases and high-quality standards of our Journal, warning us about the diffi culty of our new commitment. We hope not to disappoint the trust that the Spanish Palaeontology Society has placed in this editorial team, the main goal of which being to continue with and improve the work done so far.
Developing Voice in Digital Storytelling Through Creativity, Narrative and Multimodality
Authors: Nilsson Monica 
Published: December 2021

For Simon, who is nine years old, reading and writing are obstacles rather than tools. However, when offered the opportunity to create digital stories, Simon becomes deeply engaged. He creates complex stories within different genres based on a variety of subjects. He both expresses and creates meaning through his digital storytelling. He develops what Elbow calls ´voice.´ In the paper I argue that digital storytelling became a resource for Simon which triggered his interest in literacy because of two specific features: multimodality and narrative. Vygotsky’s work on development of literacy and creativity comprise a theoretical point of departure and I claim that new media has the potential to play a significant role in this realm.
Digitalized story-making in the classroom- A social semiotic perspective on gender, multimodality and learning
Authors: Skaar Håvard 
Published: December 2021

The article takes the case of pupils in a fifth-year primary school class (10-11 years old) who use text and pictures in their creative writing on the classroom computers. The study confirms what the research literature indicates, that girls show more interest than boys in writing and story-telling, while boys show greater interest than girls in using computer technology. Social semiotics is used as a theoretical basis for analysing the connection between these differences and relating them to what girls and boys learn. In a social semiotic perspective, learning can be related to the experience of the difference between what we intend to express and what we actually manage to express or mean. In the article, it is argued that social semiotics provides a theoretical basis for asserting that the girls in this case learn more than the boys because they associate themselves with the signs they use through more choices than the boys. The girls, we could say, put their own mark on the signs by coding or creating them themselves while the boys tend more to choose ready-made signs. Ready-made signs require fewer choices than the signs we make or code ourselves. Fewer choices means less experience of the difference between what we wish to mean and what we actually mean, and hence less learning. A pedagogical consequence of this is that boys may be better served by having online work with multimodality of expression organised in such a way that it combines as far as possible the use of ready-made signs with signs they code or create themselves.

Abstract

Electrochemical energy storage systems (EESS), such as batteries, rely on a plethora of dynamic processes including electron and ion transfer, phase transformations, and side reactions, that make their characterization critical toward improving device performance. Both traditional and advanced electroanalytical methods are applied to investigate and evaluate phenomena from the bulk electrode behavior to key interfacial processes, and beyond. Understanding the complexity of energy storage chemistry involves measurements across wide timescales and different spatial dimensions, with high chemical resolution. These demanding characteristics continue to push the development of new analytical instrumentation and methods for better assessment and further improvement of EESS. We discuss the working principles, methods, and instruments needed to evaluate their characteristics and performance. We provide a broad coverage of the electroanalytical principles (e.g. equations, instrumental design, etc.) available for evaluating Li‐ion, redox flow, and other popular EESS. Classical techniques covered include galvanostatic and potentiostatic (dis)charge, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance spectroscopy. We discuss traditional and advanced tools for

, and coupled methods to evaluate energy storage materials and the interfacial chemistry under real operating conditions. These include electrochemical methods coupled to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), neutron‐based methods, X‐ray methods, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to name a few. We hope this introduction to instrumental analysis of EESS is didactical to the novice practitioner and informative to those wishing to expand their knowledge of energy storage.
Waste‐Derived Biocarbons as Nonnoble Metal Catalysts and Supports for Nanocatalysts for Fuel Cells Reactions in Alkaline Media
Authors: Rodríguez‐Varela Javier , Alonso‐Lemus Ivonne L. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractEncouraging results have been obtained from the characterization and testing of biocarbons derived from widely available waste biomass, foreseeing their use in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFC). Pyrolysis is the most common route to synthetize biocarbons from biomass, but hydro‐ and solvothermal treatments have gained attention because of the possibility of developing hierarchically ordered structures. In most cases, biocarbons from biomass are self‐doped with heteroatoms, although the relative concentration of those species can be increased by doping during the thermal treatment of the biomass. Moreover, their surface chemistry can be modified to create functional groups that act as centers for the adsorption of molecules and the anchorage of nanoparticles. The most common application of the structurally disorder and amorphous biocarbons is as self‐standing metal‐free electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To a lesser extent, biocarbons have been investigated as supports of noble metal and nonnoble metal nanoparticles. In the first case, the application has been mostly as anodes for the oxidation of organic molecules, since Pt and Pd are highly active for such reactions. In the second, the impregnation of biocarbons mainly with Co and Fe nanoparticles has promoted a high catalytic activity for the ORR. Being produced from cheap biomass resources, the technological challenge of biocarbons is to achieve the high electrocatalytic performance required to contend with, and eventually replace, the benchmark Pt/C (as electrocatalysts) and Vulcan XC‐72 (as support).

Published: December 2021

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of chronic and occasional opioid use and identify risk factors of opioid use among persons with knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsWe used the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey to select a knee OA cohort. We obtained data on demographics characteristics, marital status, comorbidities, insurance, and prescription medication coverage from survey data and linked Medicare claims. We included all prescribed medication records classified as opioid under the First Databank therapeutic antiarthritics or analgesics categories. We stratified individuals with knee OA into 3 opioid use groups: 1) nonusers (0 prescriptions/year), 2) occasional users (1–5 prescriptions/year), and 3) chronic users (6+ prescriptions/year). We built multivariable logistic regression models using a generalized estimating equation to determine correlates of chronic opioid use.ResultsAmong 3,549 Medicare beneficiaries with knee OA and a mean ± SD age of 78 ± 7 years, 68% were female, 9% were chronic users, and 21% used opioids occasionally. Multivariable analysis showed that non‐Hispanic ethnicity (odds ratio [OR] 4.8, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.2–10.2), divorced status (vs. married; OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.5–3.5), Medicaid eligibility (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3–2.7), depression (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5–2.5), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.4–2.5), and inability to walk without assistive devices (vs. no difficulty walking; OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.5–3.7) were independently associated with chronic opioid use.ConclusionA total of 9% of persons with knee OA use opioids chronically. Efforts to find nonopioid regimens for treating knee OA pain should be tailored to patients at high risk for chronic use.

Published: December 2021

ObjectiveThe study objective was to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of ultrasound of the skin in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) to establish the degree to which ultrasound of the skin has been validated, using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Filter.MethodsWe conducted an SLR of publications between 1950 and 2018, using PubMed and Cochrane library, to examine ultrasound validity to quantitate SSc skin involvement. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) in English; (2) used the 1980 or 2013 classification criteria for SSc criteria; (3) either a randomized controlled trial, an observational study, or a case study including more than 15 patients; (4) subjects 18 years of age or older; (5) for mixed patient populations, SSc results were separable; and (6) the ultrasound machine was clearly described. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) not in English; (2) data did not record at least one of the validation criteria; (3) subjects aged less than 18 years; (4) subjects had disease other than SSc (eg, localized scleroderma or scleroderma‐like disease); (5) a letter to the editor or an editorial; and (6) involved a modified Rodnan skin score of less than 2. Descriptive statistics were generated for each criterion.ResultsFrom an initial 292 citations, 14 articles (1,055 patients) met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The status of validation for ultrasound was evaluated by using the OMERACT criteria of truth, discrimination, and feasibility (in turn divided into nine different criteria). Face, criterion, content, construct, reliability, and responsiveness criteria were met, and the feasibility criterion was partially met, whereas discrimination and reproducibility criteria were not met.ConclusionBased on an SLR through December 31, 2018, ultrasound of the skin met some but not all validation criteria for use in clinical trials.

AbstractElectrode design strategies that aim to increase the electrochemical performance of Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) play a key role in tapping into the power of the energy transformations involved. Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted scientific interest as electrode materials for LIBs, while the utilization of pristine MOFs is hindered by limited conductivity and stability, partly due to their lack of hierarchically structured pores. Herein a hydrothermal‐mechanical synthesis is reported by combining the one‐pot chemical fabrication of Ni3(2,3,6,7,10,11‐hexaiminotriphenylene)2 sheets and particles, and the mechanical assembly of these building blocks to improve electrical conductivity is also described. The as‐prepared ensemble (denoted as NHM) exhibits a Tostadas‐shaped structure with enriched ultramicropores and micropores. The charge‐discharge profile of NHM gives a superior reversible capacity of 1280 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at the rate of 0.1 A g−1, surpassing the state‐of‐art pristine MOFs‐based anodes. Moreover, NHM is capable of maintaining 392 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1000 cycles, the completion of a stability test in coin cell‐powered light emitting diodes further visualizes the remitted capacity fading of NHM. This work breaks through the limitation of capacity for pristine MOFs, providing a new pathway for achieving better energy conversion and storage.

Published: December 2021

AbstractSupercapacitors (SCs) are considered to be a promising energy storage technology due to their superior electrochemical properties. However, to meet the continuously rising demands of energy density, SCs need to be equipped with high specific capacitance. For this purpose, partially amorphous CoNi2S4 nanosheets grown directly on nickel foam (PA‐CoNi2S4/NF) are successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal method combined with follow‐up KBH4 treating. The nanosheets structure optimizes the ion transport path and the amorphous crystals endow PA‐CoNi2S4/NF with numerous sulfur vacancies. Therefore, the as‐prepared PA‐CoNi2S4/NF possess high specific capacitance (3305 F g–1 at 2 A g–1) and excellent capacitance retention of 66.4% when the current density increases from 2 to 100 A g–1. In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor device composed of PA‐CoNi2S4/NF as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode exhibits a high energy density of 43.4 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 800.4 W kg–1, as well as excellent long‐term cyclic stability. This work offers a simple approach for the fabrication of transition metal sulfide materials with high electrochemical activities in SCs and other electrochemical energy‐related fields.

AbstractWe formed the Precision Sustainable Agriculture (PSA) team to conduct interdisciplinary research and technology development to improve adoption and practice of knowledge‐intensive sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping. In this paper, we share our approach to cultivating trust among diverse stakeholders (researchers, farmers, extensionists, agricultural and information specialists, private and public entities) vested in agricultural data collection, management, and use. Our trust framework describes how we aim to be trusted with data (through preserving privacy and increasing stakeholder agency) and trusted in the process (through practicing transparency and accountability). It is operationalized through a series of social and technical infrastructures. Our project governance, stakeholder engagement tools and activities, and technology development methods aim to promote transparency and accountability in our process. We use a maturity model to govern data acquisition to ensure that only robust, privacy‐preserving technologies are deployed on our partner farms and describe evolving mechanisms for handling data with varying sensitivity. Finally, we share preliminary work aimed at anticipating data use, and identify challenges on the horizon for cultivating trust in agricultural technologies and data‐driven agriculture.

Published: December 2021

BackgroundDistraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME) is an emerging surgical concept for obstructive sleep apnea patients with a high‐arched and narrow hard palate presenting with nasal obstruction. Herein we demonstrate the feasibility of DOME in the treatment of patients with persistent nasal obstruction after primary septoplasty.MethodsA total of 32 consecutive patients with persistent nasal obstruction after septoplasty who underwent DOME were enrolled in this study. The efficacy of DOME in treating persistent nasal obstruction in septoplasty failure patients was evaluated using the validated Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale. Pre‐ and postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were performed to measure the change of nasal floor width after surgery.ResultsNOSE score improved significantly from 13.62 ± 4.74 to 5.15 ± 3.50 (p < 0.001) after DOME. The postoperative CT scan showed a significant increase of the nasal floor width from 22.4 ± 4.21 to 28.06 ± 4.52 (p < 0.01). No patient had major complications such as wound infection, oronasal fistula, sinusitis, loss of incisor teeth, or malunion.ConclusionWe found that DOME appears to improve persistent nasal obstruction after septoplasty in patients with a narrow and high‐arched hard palate.
Transforming Rhodamine Dyes for (d)STORM Super‐Resolution Microscopy via 1,3‐Disubstituted Imidazolium Substitution

Published: December 2021

AbstractWe introduce a strategy to optimize the photoswitching behavior of rhodamines for (d)STORM super‐resolution microscopy. By replacing the benzene ring in the rhodamine core with a permanently charged 1,3‐disubstituted imidazolium, the resultant dyes are markedly sensitized toward photoswitching, and exhibit outstanding (d)STORM performance with fast on‐off switching, long‐lasting blinking, and bright single‐molecule emission. We thus attain excellent (d)STORM images under green excitation that are on par with the “ideal” red‐excited dyes, including for difficult structures such as the mammalian actin cytoskeleton, and demonstrate high‐quality two‐color three‐dimensional (d)STORM.

AbstractGenome mining and bioactivity studies suggested the sponge‐derived bacteriumAquimarinasp. Aq135 as a producer of new antibiotics. Activity‐guided isolation identified antibacterial peptides, named aquimarins, featuring a new scaffold with an unusual C‐terminal amino group and chlorine moieties. Responsible for the halogenation is the FeII/α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent chlorinase AqmA that halogenates up to two isoleucine residues in a carrier protein‐dependent fashion. Total syntheses of two natural aquimarins and eight non‐natural variants were developed. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies with these compounds showed that the synthetically more laborious chlorinations are not required for antibacterial activity but enhance cytotoxicity. In contrast, variants lacking the C‐terminal amine were virtually inactive, suggesting diamines similar to the terminal aquimarin residue as candidate building blocks for new peptidomimetic antibiotics.
