Writing your way to well‐being: An IPA analysis of the therapeutic effects of creative writing on mental health and the processing of emotional difficulties
Authors: Deveney Catherine , Lawson Patrick 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThis IPA study analyses the effects of creative writing on the emotional well‐being of a group of nine people working in the creative industries. The group attended a series of four creative writing classes and, in addition, volunteered to undertake a programme of four, one‐a‐week, ‘Creative Writing for Wellbeing’ tasks, using a personal difficulty as a backdrop. Issues presented included bereavement, divorce, domestic violence, rape, body image, personal trust and social isolation. A psychologist was available for participants who experienced emotional difficulty during this programme. Likert scales, weekly reports and semi‐structured interviews were used to chart the emotional journey of participants, all of whom concluded that writing creatively had brought unexpected and significant benefits to their cognitive processing of emotional difficulty and had positively affected their mood and mental well‐being. This has potential implications for low‐cost and accessible mental health treatments.
Exploring the role of the Amazon effect on customer expectations: An analysis of user‐generated content in consumer electronics retailing
Authors: Vollero Agostino , Sardanelli Domenico , Siano Alfonso 
Published: July 2021

AbstractWhile Amazon's disruption of the retail market has been associated with significant changes in consumer behavior, empirical studies on how interacting with Amazon has changed customers' expectations toward other offline/online retailers remain scarce. Such Amazon‐driven perceptions of service attributes are sometimes referred to as the ‘Amazon effect’. After clarifying the meaning of the Amazon effect and reviewing the studies on consumer complaints online, this paper aims to identify key triggers for the Amazon effect from consumer comments on social media. Based on natural language processing techniques, a content and sentiment analysis of users' comments drawn from the Facebook pages of three leading consumer electronics retailers in Italy over a two‐year span (2016–2018) was used to evaluate the dissatisfaction toward these retailers associated to Amazon‐related service attributes. The findings show that there is a wide diffusion of consumer comments and service complaints related to the Amazon effect on consumer electronics retailers, especially regarding price, customer service, in‐store staff, and post‐purchase support. Compared with corresponding evaluations on the Italian Amazon website, the negative sentiments revealed in consumers' comments on Facebook suggest that the Amazon's service standards have raised consumer expectations and have made consumers less satisfied when they interact with other retailers. We argue the need for further research to better clarify Amazonification in terms of customer impatience and dissatisfaction in general, also going beyond price and logistics issues, which are usually considered as the main constitutive factors.

Published: July 2021

AbstractSolar‐driven photothermal antibacterial devices have attracted a lot of interest due to the fact that solar energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy in the world. However, conventional materials have a narrow absorbance band, resulting in deficient solar harvesting. In addition, lack of knowledge on temperature change in these devices during the photothermal process has also led to a waste of energy. Here, we presented an elegant multi‐channel optical device with a multilayer structure to simultaneously address the above‐mentioned issues in solar‐driven antibacterial devices. In the photothermal channel, semiconductor IrO2‐nanoaggregates exhibited higher solar absorbance and photothermal conversion efficiency compared with nanoparticles. In the luminescence channel, thermal‐sensitive Er‐doped upconversion nanoparticles were utilized to reflect the microscale temperature in real‐time. The bacteria were successfully inactivated during the photothermal effect under solar irradiation with temperature monitoring. This study could provide valuable insight for the development of smart photothermal devices for solar‐driven photothermal bacterial inactivation in the future.

AbstractCovalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) with two‐dimensional structures have exhibited promising visible‐light‐induced H2 evolution performance. However, it is still a challenge to improve their activity. Herein, we report π‐conjugation‐linked CTF‐1/GO for boosting photocatalytic H2 evolution. The CTF‐1/GO hybrid material was obtained by a facile low‐temperature condensation of 1,4‐dicyanobenzene in the presence of GO. The results of photocatalytic H2 evolution indicate that the optimum hybrid, CTF‐1/GO‐3.0, exhibited an H2 evolution rate of 2262.4 μmol ⋅ g−1 ⋅ h−1 under visible light irradiation, which was 9 times that of pure CTF‐1. The enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the fact that GO in CTF‐1/GO hybrids not only acts as an electron collector and transporter like a “bridge” to facilitate the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges but also shortens the electron migration path due to its thin sheet layer uniformly distribution over CTF‐1. This work could help future development of novel conjugated CTF‐based composite materials as high‐efficiency photocatalyst for photocatalysis.

Published: July 2021

Main observation and conclusionBy a strategy of fine‐tuning of packing mode between the adjacent layers in a 2D net metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) through ligand changing, two 2D sql‐type MOFs with highly selective CO2 uptake, CuHIN and CuHPB, were successfully synthesized. Compared with the precursor MOF‐2, the fine‐tuning structure of CuHIN shows selective adsorption of CO2 over N2 and CH4 with the CO2 uptake amounts as high as 4.7 wt% at 0.15 bar and at 298 K, and CO2 selectivity towards N2 and CH4 is 165.8 and 10.22 at 1 bar and at 298 K, respectively. In addition, for the 2D MOFs, the dynamic porous structure depends on the interaction of the adjacent layers. The suitable interaction is good for gliding smoothly and gas adsorption.
Analyzing the influence of IL18 in regulation of YAP1 in breast oncogenesis using cBioportal
Authors: Rahman Ayesha , Shashidhara Lingadahalli S. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundYes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) is responsible for tumor growth, progression and metastasis. The mechanisms controlling the generation and relative ratio of the functional YAP1 and other co‐factors are not well‐understood. Various literature reported that co‐factors like cytokines significantly influence signaling pathways to introduce epithelial immunity and regeneration, which later helps increase cancer‐related phenotypes. Among various cytokines, IL‐18 has emerged as a major player in inflammation and progression of different types of cancers. Till now, much information has not been known about the role of YAP1 in tumor aggressiveness and immune evasion in breast cancer with respect to IL‐18.AimWe aimed to explore the effect of YAP1 in tumor aggressiveness and immune evasion in breast invasive carcinoma and metastatic breast cancer in the context of Interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) in silico.Methods and ResultsWe used publicly available data generated by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network through cBioportal web platform. Kaplan–Meier method was used to determine the overall survival and comparison between curves were made using Log‐Rank test. The p values were determined by Fisher's exact test with the null hypothesis. Correlation plots were analyzed by comparison with gene copy numbers from the GISTIC2.0, available through cBioportal.Our analyses suggest that IL‐18 influences YAP1 expression in breast oncogenesis via Interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ) production. Patients having a higher expression of IL‐18 possess a better prognosis and higher YAP1 expression with lower IL18 drives to poor clinical results in breast cancer.ConclusionThis can provide new approaches to better understand the relation between YAP1 and IL‐18 in breast cancer progression by performing in vitro and in vivo studies. Also, IL‐18 can be considered as a potential target for tumor treatment in YAP1 overexpressed breast carcinoma.
New method for observing, demonstrating, and teaching additive color mixture
Authors: Travis Richard 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe trichromatic principles of additive and subtractive color mixture have been the foundation of the color reproduction technologies for about 130 years. Yet, today, they remain a poorly understood phenomenon in much of the fine art world as well as the general public. Part of the problem stems from a lack of a simple, effective, widely accessible method for presenting additive color mixtures. This article describes a new, unique means of demonstrating additive color mixture using colored mosaic patterns displayed on computer screens in combination with a simple optical diffuser. Three illustrations composed of primary colored mosaic designs are described along with the underlying theory they are based upon. The potential for this technique as a valuable educational tool for teaching the art and science of color mixture, as well as a new approach for designs in the visual arts, is discussed. Finally, a small representational luminous mosaic image is offered as an example of the creative possibilities in this unexplored realm of art.

AbstractA fixed‐dose combination (FDC) formulation of bazedoxifene 20 mg and cholecalciferol 8 mg was developed to increase medication compliance and convenience for osteoporosis patients. This study was conducted to demonstrate bioequivalence by comparing the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles and tolerability of an FDC tablet and the individual component tablets. A randomized, open‐label, single‐dosing, 2‐treatment, 2‐period, 2‐sequence crossover study was conducted in 52 healthy subjects. All subjects were randomly assigned to 2 sequences, and they received FDC tablets of bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol and individual component tablets. Serial blood samples for PK evaluation were collected up to 24 hours predose and 120 hours postdose, and the PK parameters were estimated by noncompartmental methods. Throughout the study, tolerability was assessed based on adverse events, vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests. Of the enrolled 52 subjects, 47 subjects completed the study. The results, the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals (90%CIs), of bazedoxifene Cmax and AUC0‐t for FDC to single entities given together were 0.98 (0.91‐1.05) and 1.02 (0.97‐1.07), respectively. The GMRs (90%CIs) of cholecalciferol Cmax and AUC0‐t for FDC to single entities given together were 0.96 (0.91‐1.00) and 0.94 (0.90‐0.99), respectively. Overall, the GMRs (90%CIs) of the PK parameter of bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol fell within the conventional bioequivalence range of 0.8‐1.25. There were no clinically significant differences in the safety profile between the 2 treatments. In conclusion, this study confirmed the development of a new FDC drug by demonstrating that the FDC formulation of bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol is biologically equivalent to the coadministered individual formulations.
Toward vehicular cloud/fog communication: A survey on data dissemination in vehicular ad hoc networks using vehicular cloud/fog computing

Published: July 2021

SummaryThe digitization of objects has given birth to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) which is revolutionizing traditional objects by replacing them with intelligent objects such as smart vehicles, smartphones, smart home…etc. In this context, and with the emergence of vehicle networks, is born the need to increase the vehicular resources in order to benefit from several applications facilitating driving and ensuring the drivers safety, even going to think of the automated driving. The use of cloud computing has become the key solution to the lack of resources required to run compute‐intensive applications and the lack of storage space to back up all data related to roads and applications. In addition, we are witnessing the birth of the fog computing paradigm, which brings the functionalities of cloud computing at the edge of the network, thereby solving the latency problem for some time‐sensitive applications and also saving the bandwidth of the network because vehicle requests will not need to cross the entire network to be processed at the cloud level. In this paper, we discuss the different principles of cloud/fog computing and compare the two paradigms. We present a classification of data dissemination schemes in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular cloud, and vehicular fog computing with their different architectures proposed. We finally present several cloud/fog computing applications.
Variation in heteroploid reproduction and gene flow across a polyploid complex: One size does not fit all
Authors: Sutherland Brittany L. , Galloway Laura F. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractWhole‐genome duplication is considered an important speciation mechanism in plants. However, its effect on reproductive isolation between higher cytotypes is not well understood. We used backcrosses between different ploidy levels and surveys of mixed‐ploidy contact zones to determine how reproductive barriers differed with cytotype across a polyploid complex. We backcrossed F1 hybrids derived from 2X‐4X and 4X‐6X crosses in the Campanula rotundifolia autopolyploid complex, measured backcross fitness, and estimated backcross DNA cytotype. We then sampled four natural mixed‐ploidy contact zones (two 2X‐4X and two 4X‐6X), estimated ploidy, and genotyped individuals across each contact zone. Reproductive success and capacity for gene flow was markedly lower for 2X‐4X than 4X‐6X hybrids. In fact, 3X hybrids could not backcross; all 2X‐4X backcross progeny resulted from neotetraploid F1 hybrids. Further, no 3X individuals were found in 2X‐4X contact zones, and 2X and 4X individuals were genetically distinct. By contrast, backcrosses of 5X hybrids were relatively successful, particularly when crossed to 6X individuals. In 4X‐6X contact zones, 5X individuals and aneuploids were common and all cytotypes were largely genetically similar and spatially intermixed. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that reproduction is low between 2X and 4X cytotypes, primarily occurring via unreduced gamete production, but that reproduction and gene flow are ongoing between 4X and 6X cytotypes. Further, it suggests whole‐genome duplication can result in speciation between diploids and polyploids, but is less likely to create reproductive barriers between different polyploid cytotypes, resulting in two fundamentally different potentials for speciation across polyploid complexes.

Published: July 2021

AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have recently been comprehensively studied because of metal zinc (Zn) unique properties. However, the problems of metal zinc anode in ZIBs, namely, dendrite formation and side reactions, seriously shorten the cycling lifetimes and limit the coulombic efficiencies. Here, the tin (Sn) layer with a three‐dimensional nano‐channeled structure is decorated on zinc metal via a facile in situ substitution reaction, constructing the Sn modified Zn (Sn‐Zn) anode for high‐performance ZIBs. Multiscale investigation techniques, especially micro‐CT, are used to investigate the inhibition of zinc dendrites. In addition, the induction mechanism of Zn by Sn is also elaborately investigated. The designed Sn‐Zn anode can alleviate zinc dendrite growth and ensure long‐life stability. This work brings exciting new possibilities for the realization of industrial aqueous zinc‐ion batteries and provides new insights for the rational deposition of the Zn metal anodes.image

AbstractThere is a need for expanding the utilization of small fish as they constitute an undervalued and important source of protein and micronutrients in many developing countries suffering from micronutrient deficiencies. One way to increase consumption and health benefits is to add nutrient‐rich fish meal into staple food ingredients. In this study, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the processing of an instant rice‐based cereal enriched with anchovy powder. The Box‐Behnken design was used to study the effect of principal processing variables (drying temperature, drum rotation speed, and slurry solids concentration) on product water activity, color, bulk density, and water solubility index. Viscosity, consistency, and cohesiveness of the reconstitute cereal were also evaluated. Empirical models were developed to describe the relationship between independent and dependent variables and showed regression coefficients (R2) ranging between 71% and 98%. Higher drying temperatures resulted in reduced water activity, darker product color, and lower consistency. While drum speed influenced (p < .05) product color and water‐binding capacity, bulk density, and consistency of the reconstituted product was associated with slurry solids concentration. Optimal processing conditions obtained from the study were temperature of 130°C, drum speed of 9.3 rpm, and solids concentration of 20.5%. These conditions would be useful in the production of brown rice‐based instant cereal enriched with anchovy powder with desired quality properties.

Published: July 2021

AbstractEdible insects are a food source that has high nutritional value. Domestic silkworm pupae are an important by‐product of sericulture and have a long history as food and feed ingredients in East Asia. Silkworm pupae are a good source of protein, lipids, minerals, and vitamins and are considered a good source of nutrients for humans. Silkworm pupae are a valuable insect source of substances used in healthcare products, medicines, food additives, and animal feed. Because silkworm pupae are being increasingly used in the human diet, potential allergic reactions to the substances they contain must be elucidated. Here, we present an overview of the benefits of silkworm pupae. First, we describe their nutritional value. Second, we report their functional properties and applications, focusing on their potential use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Finally, we consider the current state of research regarding silkworm pupae‐induced allergies.
Discrete variance swap in a rough volatility economy

Published: July 2021

AbstractThe discrete variance swap is one of the most popular volatility derivatives traded on the over‐the‐counter market. This paper discusses its valuation in a rough volatility economy and the impact of roughness on the term structure of discrete variance swap prices. A semianalytic solution is obtained through stochastic convolution. Our numerical experiments show that the roughness of volatility has a significant impact on the concavity of the variance swap term structure.
Geochronology and geochemistry of Late Mesozoic diabase in the Litun ore district, North China Craton

Published: July 2021

Mesozoic mafic dykes in the Litun ore district provide an opportunity to study the nature of the Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the Luxi area of the North China Craton. U–Pb dating of zircon from the Litun diabase using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry yields an age of 124.6 ± 1.7 Ma, indicating an Early Cretaceous emplacement age. Samples from the Litun diabase display a medium‐ to fine‐grained texture, consisting of plagioclase (60–65 vol%), clinopyroxene (30–35 vol%), and minor biotite (~2 vol%). They are characterized by enrichment of large‐ion lithophile elements (LILEs, such as Rb, Ba, Th, and U) and light rare‐earth elements (LREEs) without significant Eu anomalies (0.83–1.07), depletion of high‐field‐strength elements (HFSEs, such as Nb, Ta, and Ti). The Litun diabase has relatively high initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7049–0.7060) and negative εNd(t) values (−11.7 to −9.7). The Litun diabase also shows high MgO (10.52–13.84 wt%), Cr (956–1,162 ppm), Co (26.5–65.6 ppm), and Ni (240–514 ppm) contents and low Rb/Sr ratios (0.01–0.03). These geochemical features suggest that the Litun diabase may have originated from an enriched lithospheric mantle source with amphibole as an essential phase, and that the Litun diabase was not significantly affected by fractional crystallization and crustal contamination. In combination with the Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of mafic rocks in the Luxi area (such as the Mengyin mafic dykes and Jinan gabbro), our results suggest that the lithospheric mantle beneath the Luxi area may have been rapidly enriched between ~144 and ~124 Ma, which was induced by sequential hybridization of sinked lower crust.
