AbstractFlexible and air‐stable phototransistors are highly demanded for wearable near‐infrared (NIR) image sensors. However, advanced NIR sensors via low‐cost, solution‐based processes remained a challenge. Herein, high‐performance inorganic–organic hybrid phototransistors are achieved based on solution processed n‐type metal oxide/polymer semiconductor heterostructures of In2O3/poly{5,5′‐bis[3,5‐bis(thienyl)phenyl]‐2,2′‐bithiophene‐3‐ethylesterthiophene]} (PTPBT‐ET). The In2O3/PTPBT‐ET hybrid phototransistor combines the advantages of both fast electron transport in In2O3 and high photoresponse in PTPBT‐ET, showing high saturation mobility of 7.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 and large current on/off ratio of >107. As a result, the phototransistor exhibits high performance towards NIR light sensing with a responsivity of 200 A W−1, a specific detectivity of 1.2 × 1013 Jones, and fast photoresponse with rise/fall time of 5/120 ms. Remarkably, the hybrid phototransistor, without any passivation, demonstrates excellent electrical stability without performance degradation even after 160 days in air. A 10 × 10 phototransistor array is also enabled by virtue of the high device uniformity. Lastly, flexible In2O3/PTPBT‐ET phototransistor on polyimide substrate is attained, exhibiting outstanding mechanical flexibility up to 1000 bending/releasing cycles at a bending radius of 5 mm. These achievements pave the way for constructing air‐stable hybrid phototransistors for flexible NIR image sensor applications.

AbstractThe competing and non‐equilibrium phase transitions, involving dynamic tunability of cooperative electronic and magnetic states in strongly correlated materials, show great promise in quantum sensing and information technology. To date, the stabilization of transient states is still in the preliminary stage, particularly with respect to molecular electronic solids. Here, a dynamic and cooperative phase in potassium‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (K‐TCNQ) with the control of pulsed electromagnetic excitation is demonstrated. Simultaneous dynamic and coherent lattice perturbation with 8 ns pulsed laser (532 nm, 15 MW cm−2, 10 Hz) in such a molecular electronic crystal initiates a stable long‐lived (over 400 days) conducting paramagnetic state (≈42 Ωcm), showing the charge–spin bistability over a broad temperature range from 2 to 360 K. Comprehensive noise spectroscopy, in situ high‐pressure measurements, electron spin resonance (ESR), theoretical model, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) studies provide further evidence that such a transition is cooperative, requiring a dedicated charge–spin–lattice decoupling to activate and subsequently stabilize nonequilibrium phase. The cooperativity triggered by ultrahigh‐strain‐rate (above 106 s−1) pulsed excitation offers a collective control toward the generation and stabilization of strongly correlated electronic and magnetic orders in molecular electronic solids and offers unique electro‐magnetic phases with technological promises.
Insulin Delivery Using Dynamic Covalent Boronic Acid/Ester‐Controlled Release
Authors: Banach Łukasz , Williams George T. , Fossey John S. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe number of people affected by diabetes mellitus increases globally year on year. Elevated blood glucose levels may result from a lack of insulin to manage these levels and can, over a prolonged period, lead to serious repercussions. Diabetes mellitus patients must monitor and control their blood‐glucose levels with invasive testing and often alongside administration of intravenous doses of insulin, which can often lead to suboptimal compliance. To mitigate these issues, “closed‐loop” insulin delivery systems are deemed to be among superior options for rapid relief from the demanding and troublesome necessity of self‐directed care. The reversible dynamic covalent chemistry of boronic acid derivatives and their competitive affinity to 1,2‐ and 1,3‐diols (such as those present in saccharides) allows for the design and preparation of responsive self‐regulated insulin delivery materials which respond to elevated and changing glucose levels. A range of meritorious and noteworthy contributions in the domain of boron‐mediated insulin delivery materials is surveyed, and providing a multidisciplinary context in the realisation of the ambitious goal of ultimately addressing the desire to furnish glucose‐responsive insulin delivery materials through innovative synthesis and rigorous testing is targetted.
Intention to have a second child, family support and actual fertility behavior in current China: An evolutionary perspective

Published: August 2021

AbstractObjectivesThis study provides an evolutionary perspective to a classic topic in demography, that is, the discrepancy between reproductive intention and subsequent behavior, in the context of China's two‐child policy.MethodsWe conduct an event history analysis of longitudinal data from the 2015 and 2018 waves of the Xi'an Fertility Survey (sample size = 321 followed one‐child mothers) to test the hypotheses of how within‐family support/conflict affects women's fertility behavior.ResultsOnly 50% of positive intentions (i.e., intending to have a second child) led to another (live) birth within the 3‐year interval; meanwhile, 15% of uncertain intentions and 5% of negative intentions resulted in a birth. Husband's and the firstborn's emotional support raised the hazard of second childbirth along maternal life course, which cannot be fully mediated by mother's fertility intention and thus, contributed to an intention‐behavior gap. Husband's sibship size had dual effects on female childbearing behavior: A positive indirect effect mediated by fertility intention, but a negative direct effect presumably due to sibling competition for intergenerational support. Finally, after controlling for fertility intention, having a firstborn son was still associated significantly with a lower second‐childbirth hazard, presumably due to son preference as well as concern over parental investment.ConclusionsOur study identifies a discrepancy between maternal fertility intention and realized childbearing, which was partly explained by (lack of) support from other (multiple) stakeholders in family reproduction.
Contributions of ground‐penetrating radar in research of some predynastic and dynastic archaeological sites at the eastern and western banks of the River Nile, Assiut, Egypt

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) prospection method has rarely been used previously in Egyptian archaeology and never for a necropolis. Archaeologists have looked at GPR as a powerful method for exploring subsurface spatial patterns in the archaeological record without excavation. The results of the GPR survey were compared with the archaeological excavation outcomes on two archeological sites in Assiut. The first site is the temple located on a rocky bench on the northern slopes of El‐Hamamia, the Eastern bank of the Nile (a part of El Badari civilization period, belongs to Predynastic cemeteries). The second is the rocky tomb at the Western bank of the Nile at Gahdem (belongs to the period from the IXth to the XXXth dynasty). The main purpose of this study is to correlate the types of reflections recorded from GPR profiles and high‐amplitude features visible in amplitude maps with unearthed archaeological features. The applied software was able to process and analyse different digital data set with the given parameters. In each investigated archaeological area, the details of the GPR model are correlated level‐by‐level to the data of archeological excavations of ancient ages and data of the historical documents. Three‐dimensional time‐slices of the GPR data allow the identification of the enhanced targets of potential archaeological interest before planning excavation. Therefore, this research paper can be used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of GPR method for identifying buried archaeological artifacts/vestiges for future archaeological prospection in Egypt.

Published: August 2021

AbstractIn this work we report an easy and ecofriendly approach for the preparation of activated carbon‐graphene composites using cigarette filter wastes as precursor and evaluate its potential application as electrodes for high energy electrochemical capacitors. Graphene‐biowaste derived carbon composites are tested as active electrode materials in three different electrolytes (ammonium salt‐based conventional organic electrolyte and two imidazolium‐based ionic liquids), which in some of the cases enable to extend the operating voltage windows up to 3.4 V. The incorporation of graphene into the carbon composites not only increase the electronic conductivity but also induce morphological and textural changes that favor the adsorption/desorption of large size ions. Electrical double layer capacitors assembled using these advanced carbon composites can deliver specific capacitances of ca. 160 F g−1 at 0.25 A g−1 which correspond to energy densities of ca. 65 Wh kg−1 at 210 W kg−1, when ionic liquids are used as electrolyte. Besides, a comprehensive three‐electrode study disclosed that the enhanced capacitance observed for these carbon composites in ionic liquids is related to the optimized textural properties, which improves the imidazolium‐cation adsorption.

Published: August 2021

AbstractPatients’ crying in psychotherapy can, at times, be an indicator of a healing process and reflect patients’ engagement. This study explored the relationships between Israeli patients' crying in therapy, the working alliance, therapeutic change and attachment styles, using similar procedures to the ones used by Genova et al. (2020; Psychotherapy, 58, 160) in a recent investigation of Italian patients. One hundred and thirteen patients completed an online survey in Hebrew about crying in therapy and self‐report measures assessing the working alliance, therapeutic change and attachment styles. Our findings revealed that self‐reported working alliance was related to the patients’ perceptions of their therapist responding to their most recent crying episode with support and compassion. Therapeutic change was associated with a tendency to cry in therapy and higher instances of crying in therapy during the last year. Patients with anxious‐preoccupied attachment styles had more faith that crying would lead to being understood by their therapist. Dismissive‐avoidant attachment style was related to higher likelihood of feeling like the most recent crying episode helped the patient understand things that they did not understand before and feel like their tears expressed things that words could not. Further, fearful‐avoidant, anxious‐preoccupied and dismissive‐avoidant attachment styles were all related to stronger faith in the therapy relationship strengthening after crying. These findings are in line with, and expand on, Genova et al.’s (2020; Psychotherapy, 58, 160) findings regarding the therapy alliance, crying in therapy and attachment styles. Implications for the relationships between patient attachment style, therapy alliance, therapeutic change and crying in therapy are discussed.

AbstractRehmanniae Radix Praeparata is the processed products of the root of Rehmannia glutinosa. It has been used as a Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years, and it has been found to possess widely pharmacological activities. In this study, three new 2,2′‐difurylketone derivatives (rehmanniaeketone A–C) and two new chromones [3,8‐dihydroxy‐2‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)chromone and 3,8‐dihydroxy‐2‐[(2‐O‐α‐D‐galactopyranosyloxy)ethyl]chromone] were isolated from the Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata. Furthermore all of the compounds were subjected to cytotoxic testing against the human lung carcinoma A549 cells. The cytotoxic results showed that rehmanniaeketone B and rehmanniaeketone C exhibited more stronger inhibition effects on the cell activity of A549 cells with the IC50 5.23 μM and 2.05 μM than other compounds. And 3,8‐dihydroxy‐2‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)chromone exhibited moderately inhibitory activity with the IC50 61 μM. Rehmanniaeketone A and 3,8‐dihydroxy‐2‐[(2‐O‐α‐D‐galactopyranosyloxy]chromone showed no inhibitory effects.

AbstractSodium‐ion batteries offer a promising solution for large‐scale energy storage. However, development of suitable anode materials with long cycle life and high‐rate capability is a major challenge. Herein, we report K2Ti4O9 nanoribbon arrays as efficient anode materials for sodium‐ion batteries for the first‐time. The cross‐linked nanoribbon array configuration of K2Ti4O9 enables excellent structural stability and directional ion and electron transport pathways. More importantly, a surface functionalization with graphene quantum dots could significantly improve the electron and ion transport properties and electrochemical surface reactivity of the K2Ti4O9 nanoribbon arrays, thus achieving superior pseudocapacitive sodium storage. As a consequence, the graphene quantum dots functionalized K2Ti4O9 nanoribbon arrays deliver high reversible capacity of 156.8 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.2 A g−1 and remarkable rate capability of 62.8 mAh g−1 at 5.0 A g−1, as well as excellent cyclability (approximately 95.9 % capacity retention efficiency over 5,000 continuous cycles at 2.0 A g−1). This work demonstrated the potential significance of surface functionalization strategy for boosting the pseudocapacitive sodium storage properties of titanium‐based anode materials.

Published: August 2021

Main observation and conclusionNatural biopolymer‐based hydrogels have been extensively studied in recent years due to their excellent biocompatibility. However, the preparation of multi‐functional and tough natural biopolymer‐based hydrogels is still a challenging problem. Herein, a natural biopolymer‐based hydrogel is prepared using gelatin and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) through a one‐step soaking method. The prepared hydrogel without any synthetic polymers and crosslinking agents has a fully physical crosslinking structure. Due to the hydrophobic interaction brought by the Hofmeister effect, the mechanical properties of soaked hydrogels (tensile stress and strain can reach 3.77 MPa and 1082%) are superior to conventional protein hydrogels. In addition, the prepared gelatin/carboxymethyl chitosan (Gel/CMCS) hydrogels exhibit a variety of appealing properties, including good shape memory, fatigue resistance, electrical conductivity, water retention, drug releasing, antibacterial property, and recyclability. This strategy opens up a new horizon to fabricate hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties and multiple functions, which can extend their applications in the biomedicine area and other related fields.

Published: August 2021

AbstractInterleukin‐10 (IL‐10) and its receptor (IL‐10R) have been foremost targets to understand inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. For the past several decades, IL‐10‐deficient (Il10‐/‐) mice were considered one of the best models to study immune‐mediated colitis. Several physiologic limitations with this model, e.g., delayed and varied disease onset, have hindered investigators in testing new clinical therapies for IBD. In this article, we provide comprehensive guidance for using anti‐IL‐10R monoclonal antibody (αIL‐10R mAb) neutralization as a superior alternative model to study IBD. This article describes the feasibility of using αIL‐10R mAb to induce chronic colitis (within 4 weeks), perform time‐dependent mechanistic studies, and assess the efficacy of IBD therapeutics. This article also delineates protocols for in‐house assays to critically assess colitis and associated inflammatory parameters. Overall, we underscore αIL‐10R mAb neutralization as a relevant immune‐mediated murine colitis model to study human Crohn's disease. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Basic Protocol 1: Induction of chronic colitis in mice via αIL‐10R mAb neutralizationBasic Protocol 2: Biochemical evaluation of αIL‐10R mAb neutralization–induced chronic colitisSupport Protocol 1: Stool analysis and scoringSupport Protocol 2: Swiss roll method
Can B Corp certification anchor sustainability in SMEs?

Published: August 2021

AbstractB Corp certification is considered a viable instrument to support small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting sustainable practices. However, there is a lack of evidence to what extent this instrument can anchor sustainability at the core of SMEs. This study investigates the B Corp certification process of a SME, a craft brewery in southern Sweden, regarding the extent to which it helped infusing sustainability into the business’ mission, practices, corporate form, certificates, and capacities. Results show that the B Impact Assessment, as part of the certification process, positively influenced the business’ mission, practices, and capacities. Limited influence on social commitment and adoption of a sustainable corporate form can be explained through regulatory context and time required for deep organizational change. To enhance the effectiveness of B Corp certification, we recommend making it even more adaptable to different geographical and social contexts and increase focus on impact business models.

Published: August 2021

AbstractSince its introduction into clinical practice in 2000, capsule endoscopy (CE) has become an important procedure for many pathologies of small bowel (SB) diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Currently, the most commonly used capsule procedures are small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE), colon CE (CCE), and the recently developed pan‐enteric CE that evaluates the SB and colon in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). SBCE has a higher diagnostic performance compared to other radiological and conventional endoscopic modalities in patients with suspected CD. Additionally, CE plays an important role in monitoring the activity of CD in SB. It can also be used in evaluating response to anti‐inflammatory treatment and detecting recurrence in postsurgical patients with CD who underwent bowel resection. Due to its increasing use, different scoring systems have been developed specifically for IBD. The main target with CCE is ulcerative colitis (UC). The second‐generation colon capsule has shown high performance for the assessment of inflammation in patients with UC. CCE allows noninvasive evaluation of mucosal inflammation with a reduced volume of preparation for patients with UC.
Generalist bird exhibits site‐dependent resource selection

Published: August 2021

AbstractQuantifying resource selection (an organism's disproportionate use of available resources) is essential to infer habitat requirements of a species, develop management recommendations, predict species responses to changing conditions, and improve our understanding of the processes that underlie ecological patterns. Because study sites, even within the same region, can differ in both the amount and the arrangement of cover types, our objective was to determine whether proximal sites can yield markedly different resource selection results for a generalist bird, northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). We used 5 years of telemetry locations and newly developed land cover data at two, geographically distinct but relatively close sites in the south‐central semi‐arid prairies of North America. We fit a series of generalized linear mixed models and used an information‐theoretic model comparison approach to identify and compare resource selection patterns at each site. We determined that the importance of different cover types to northern bobwhite is site‐dependent on relatively similar and nearby sites. Specifically, whether bobwhite selected for shrub cover and whether they strongly avoided trees, depended on the study site in focus. Additionally, the spatial scale of selection was nearly an order of magnitude different between the cover types. Our study demonstrates that—even for one of the most intensively studied species in the world—we may oversimplify resource selection by using a single study site approach. Managing the trade‐offs between practical, generalized conclusions and precise but complex conclusions is one of the central challenges in applied ecology. However, we caution against setting recommendations for broad extents based on information gathered at small extents, even for a generalist species at adjacent sites. Before extrapolating information to areas beyond the data collected, managers should account for local differences in the availability, arrangement, and scaling of resources.
