AbstractSafer and more environmentally friendly alternatives to lead‐based perovskites include lead‐free halide perovskites, which retain good optoelectronic capabilities while reducing environmental toxicity. They also align better with ecological and regulatory standards for green technologies. In this manuscript, we have presented the first principles analysis of the physical traits of A2InGaBr6 (A=K, Rb, Cs). The exchange‐correlation effects are treated with mBJ potential. The structural characteristic of A2InGaBr6 (A=K, Rb, Cs) was assessed through the volume optimization curves, formation energies and tolerance factor. The elastic properties of the studied halides are analyzed through elastic constants. The electronic band structures revealed indirect bandgaps for K2InGaBr6, Rb2InGaBr6, and Cs2InGaBr6. The optical properties indicate promising potential in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices for A2InGaBr6 (A=K, Rb, Cs). The transport properties for the studied halides are computed using the BoltzTraP code, which reveals that these halides are promising candidates for thermoelectricity.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the guidelines of Jordanian arbitral tribunals concerning documentary or written evidence and relevant procedures, such as compelling litigants or third parties to submit relevant written documents, in an arbitration dispute context. Notably, arbitral tribunals lack the power of compulsion; therefore, they must seek assistance from the competent court based on its ancillary role compared to a judge in a court proceeding. In line with the principle of arbitrability, the judge has the authority to compel the presentation of written documents or allow a challenge over the validity of written evidence. However, challenging the validity of evidence falls exclusively under the jurisdiction of the criminal court. The study concludes that the discretionary authority granted to arbitral tribunals is not absolute but is subject to specific guidelines and oversight by the court of annulment.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe dehydrogenation of ammonia borane in the presence of a variety of Lewis acids such as ICl, IBr, Br2, CuCl2, AlCl3, GaCl3, InCl3, and [Ph3C]BF4 at a concentration of 7.5 mol % was effective in selectively producing aminodiborane (μ‐NH₂B₂H₅, ADB) at 80 °C. Compounds such as ICl, IBr, Br2, AlCl3, and GaCl3 at the same concentration could also generate ADB at lower temperatures of 35 °C and 50 °C. In contrast, BX3 (X=Cl, Br) at the same concentration of 7.5 mol % was found to give exclusively B2H6. Further, selective synthesis of diborane or ADB was achieved by adjusting the stoichiometry of the boron trihalides. A concentration of 7.5 mol % (upto 1 equivalent) of BBr3 favored the formation of B2H6, while 1 mol % BBr3 predominantly yielded ADB. Interestingly, both ADB and B2H6 facilitated the reduction of acetanilides. A mechanism has been proposed for both diborane and ADB formation using these Lewis acids.

AbstractThe development of novel photocatalytic systems is crucial for advancing sustainable chemical processes in organic synthesis. In this study, we report the preparation, characterization, and application of a heterogeneous photocatalyst based on Eosin Y (EY) covalently immobilized on silica nanoparticles (SNPs). The SNPs‐EY photocatalyst was thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including SEM, TEM, X‐ray diffraction, UV‐vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, solid‐state fluorescence spectroscopy, XPS, FT‐IR, TGA, and DLS. These analyses confirmed the successful immobilization of EY on SNPs and demonstrated the uniformity and favourable photophysical properties of the resulting hybrid material. The photocatalytic performance of SNPs‐EY was evaluated in a series of model reactions, including aza‐Henry reaction (cross‐dehydrogenative coupling), reduction of nitrocompounds, and photooxidation of dimethylanthracene. The reaction results demonstrated that SNPs‐EY is an effective and recyclable photocatalyst, offering yields comparable to or higher than those of homogeneous systems, while providing the advantages of easy separation and reuse. This study highlights the potential of SNPs‐EY as a versatile photocatalyst for various organic transformations, promoting the advancement of green and sustainable chemistry.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThis study aimed to compare the degree of scar contracture following artificial dermis grafting after excision of basal cell carcinoma on the nose categorized by defect location into three nasal subunits.MethodsAnthropometric analysis was conducted on seven parameters using patients' photographs to compare changes between preoperative and postoperative measurements based on nasal subunits. Defect locations were classified as: (1) dorsum and sidewalls (D zone), (2) tip (T zone), and (3) alar lobule (A zone).ResultsThe greatest change in alar height asymmetry was observed in zone A. Changes in nasal tip projection ratio and nasofrontal angle were the most significant in zone T. No other measurements showed statistically significant differences among the three zones.ConclusionsCareful consideration is recommended when applying artificial dermis grafting in zones A and T. Conversely, zone D appears to be the most suitable for artificial dermis grafting.
Thriving for Nothing? The Hidden Costs of Thriving for Employees With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Their Employers
Authors: Blondel Thomas , Alfes Kerstin , Lup Daniela 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTResearch has shown that thriving at work leads to positive outcomes for both organizations and employees. A critical element of thriving is self‐regulation, which enables employees to effectively manage their emotions and behaviors in alignment with their long‐term goals. However, there is a limited understanding of how employees experience thriving when self‐regulation is impaired. In this article, we integrate thriving theory and one of its central elements, self‐regulation, with research on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which has shown that the condition is associated with reduced and sometimes severely impaired self‐regulation. Empirically, we explore how employees with ADHD experience thriving at work using a qualitative study of working individuals. In contrast to previous findings, our study uncovers a dark side of thriving for employees with ADHD, with negative consequences for their wellbeing and growth opportunities, and ultimately an increased likelihood of voluntary quitting. In our analysis, we explain why, despite an initial positive boost in productivity, thriving ends up being a harmful process for employees with ADHD. We argue that low self‐regulation, together with low self‐esteem and fear of failure, drive them to work excessively and neglect caring for themselves and their families. We develop recommendations for employees with ADHD and their companies to stop this negative downward spiral.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTTwo‐photon (2P) fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) was used to track cellular metabolism with drug treatment of auto‐fluorescent coenzymes NAD(P)H and FAD in living cancer cells. Simultaneous excitation at 800 nm of both coenzymes was compared with traditional sequential 740/890 nm plus another alternative of 740/800 nm, before and after adding doxorubicin in an imaging time course. Changes of redox states at single cell resolution were compared by three analysis methods: our recently introduced fluorescence lifetime redox ratio (FLIRR: NAD(P)H‐a
2%/FAD‐a
1%), machine‐learning (ML) algorithms using principal component (PCA) and non‐linear multi‐Feature autoencoder (AE) analysis. While all three led to similar biological conclusions (early drug response), the ML models provided statistically the most robust significant results. The advantage of the single 800 nm excitation of both coenzymes for metabolic imaging in above mentioned analysis is demonstrated.

AbstractBreast cancer represents a significant health burden globally, necessitating ongoing advancements in treatment strategies for improved patient outcomes. Immunotherapy, particularly targeting immune checkpoints like programmed death‐1 (PD‐1), has emerged as a promising approach in cancer therapy. This study focuses on elucidating the role of PD‐1 in modulating the IFN‐γ‐CXCL9/10‐CXCR3 signaling axis within the breast cancer microenvironment. By investigating the synergistic effects of PD‐1 inhibitors in combination with Inetetamab, our research aims to uncover novel therapeutic targets for enhancing immunotherapy efficacy in breast cancer. Through comprehensive experimental analysis, we seek to deepen our understanding of the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying immune regulation in breast cancer, thereby paving the way for more effective and sustainable treatment strategies. Ultimately, our study endeavors to establish a robust theoretical framework that can guide the development of innovative clinical interventions, aiming for improved outcomes in breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler indices and adverse neonatal outcomes in women with pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia (PE).MethodsA prospective cross‐sectional study involving 110 pregnant women who were diagnosed with PE in the first 24 h of hospitalization was conducted at three hospitals in southeastern Brazil from April 2020 to December 2022. The ophthalmic parameters analyzed were the resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), first peak systolic velocity (PSV1), second peak systolic velocity (PSV2), ratio of PSV2 to PSV1 (PSV ratio or the peak ratio [PR]), and end‐diastolic velocity (EDV). The outcome measures were neonatal death (during hospitalization), neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) admission, gestational age at delivery < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500 g, birth weight < 10th percentile, the presence of comorbidities associated with prematurity, the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, an Apgar score at the 5th minute < 7.0, and signs of neurological impairment.ResultsPregnant women with severe features of PE showed higher values of systolic (152.8 ± 20.7 vs. 136.3 ± 11.9, p = 0.000) and diastolic (98.1 ± 12.8 vs. 88.1 ± 10.8, p = 0.000) blood pressure values and lower gestational age at admission (31.5 ± 3.8 vs. 33.7 ± 4.3, p = 0.009) than PE without severe features. No significant differences were found between the mean values of the OA Doppler indices when comparing the presence or absence of neonatal outcomes in the women with PE.ConclusionsOA Doppler, while valuable for the prediction, diagnosis, and evaluation of adverse maternal outcomes, does not independently predict adverse neonatal outcomes in women with severe features of PE.

AbstractPurposeThe aim was to translate and adapt The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport after Injury Scale (ACL‐RSI) to Spanish and provide evidence of its psychometric properties and responsiveness in a both sexes multisport sample.MethodsACL‐RSI Spanish version (SP ACL‐RSI) was obtained by forward‐back‐translation method. Internal consistency, test‐retest reliability, construct validity and responsiveness were assessed. Standardized response mean (SRM), smallest detectable change (SDC) and minimally important change (MIC) were obtained by anchor‐based method. The sample consisted of n = 132 multisport patients who underwent ACL‐RSI. Sixty‐seven patients (Group A) completed test‐retest of the SP ACL‐RSI within 15 days and 65 patients (Group B) fulfilled SP ACL‐RSI, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK‐11), the International Knee Documentation Committee‐Subjective Knee Form (IKDC‐SF 2000), the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) preoperative, 6 and 12 months.ResultsThe SP ACL‐RSI shows satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.95) and test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.92), with acceptable floor (9%) and ceiling (6%) effects. Convergent validity was supported with moderate positive correlations with KOOS and IKDC‐SF 2000 dimensions, and a negative correlation with the TSK (p < 0.001). For SDC responsiveness, a high effect was observed with SRM = 0.97 at 12 months, and the MIC for SP ACL‐RSI was 15.ConclusionsThe SP ACL‐RSI is as valid and reliable as the original for measuring emotions, confidence in performance, and re‐injury risk on return to sport after ACL‐R in Spanish‐speaking multisport practitioners of both sexes. Moreover, it shows acceptable responsiveness, performing better at the group level than the individual level.Level of evidenceA cohort study (diagnosis); Level II of evidence.
Effects of glyphosate on antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria and its potential significance: A review

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance are problems with important consequences for bacterial disease treatment. Antibiotic use in animal production and the subsequent export of antibiotic resistance elements in animal manure to soil is a concern. Recent reports suggest that exposure of pathogenic bacteria to glyphosate increases antibiotic resistance. We review these reports and identify soil processes likely to affect the persistence of glyphosate, antibiotic resistance elements, and their interactions. The herbicide molecular target of glyphosate is not shared by antibiotics, indicating that target‐site cross‐resistance cannot account for increased antibiotic resistance. The mechanisms of bacterial resistance to glyphosate and antibiotics differ, and bacterial tolerance or resistance to glyphosate does not coincide with increased resistance to antibiotics. Glyphosate in the presence of antibiotics can increase the activity of efflux pumps, which confer tolerance to glyphosate, allowing for an increased frequency of mutation for antibiotic resistance. Such effects are not unique to glyphosate, as other herbicides and chemical pollutants can have the same effect, although glyphosate is used in much larger quantities on agricultural soils than most other chemicals. Most evidence indicates that glyphosate is not mutagenic in bacteria. Some studies suggest that glyphosate enhances genetic exchange of antibiotic‐resistance elements through effects on membrane permeability. Glyphosate and antibiotics are often present together in manure‐treated soil for at least part of the crop‐growing season, and initial studies indicate that glyphosate may increase abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in soil, but longer term investigations under realistic field conditions are needed. Although there are demonstratable interactions among glyphosate, bacteria, and antibiotic resistance, there is limited evidence that normal use of glyphosate poses a substantial risk for increased occurrence of antibiotic‐resistant, bacterial pathogens. Longer term field studies using environmentally relevant concentrations of glyphosate and antibiotics are needed.

AbstractIndividuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 and schwannomatosis (NF) often face difficult reproductive choices when family planning; however, their experiences and the barriers and enablers to reproductive decision‐making are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the opinions and experiences of individuals with NF in Australia and inform the development of practice recommendations and resources. Focus groups with adults with NF were conducted using a semi‐structured interview schedule developed by the research team. Partners were also invited. The focus groups were recorded, de‐identified, transcribed, and analyzed using codebook thematic analysis. Three focus groups were conducted with 17 participants (12 = NF1, 4 = NF2‐related schwannomatosis [NF2‐SWN] and one partner). Three themes were identified: (1) Barriers and enablers; (2) Contemplating the options; and (3) Education and support needs. Barriers to reproductive decision‐making included: difficulty accessing healthcare services to discuss reproductive planning; a lack of access to reliable information sources and support; and, in some cases, the financial cost of assistive reproductive technology. Conversely, positive healthcare experiences and support systems enabled reproductive choices. Participants reported many factors that contributed to their reproductive decisions, including: their personal experience of their condition; concern about their future health and that of an affected child; the impact of pregnancy on their health; and the opinion of healthcare providers, family, and friends. Many participants reported mental health difficulties related to their condition and additional stressors related to the reproductive journey. Participants' recommendations included increased access to healthcare services to discuss reproductive options, the development of comprehensive information resources, and improved psychological and peer support for individuals with NF considering family planning and, where relevant, their partners. In conclusion, people with NF and their partners identify a need for improved awareness of NF among healthcare professionals and increased access to appropriate services, information, and support to facilitate informed reproductive decision‐making.

AbstractContextMucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) requires urgent treatment to prevent neurological damage. While gene therapy holds promise for effectively treating these diseases with minimal toxicity, access remains limited for most patients. Consequently, advancing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for young children is crucial. Since the 2010s, cord blood (CB) transplants with reduced‐toxicity conditioning (RTC) have become the standard of care.Patients and methodsRecent reports in France indicate a significant incidence of graft failures (GF), prompting a large‐scale retrospective study from the French‐speaking bone marrow transplantation society's registry, to understand GF risks, guide clinicians in selecting transplant platforms, and describe outcomes of second HSCT in young patients.ResultsThis report analyses 93 children who underwent HSCT for MPS between 2000 and 2020. The GF rate was notably high (22.6% at day 100), primarily associated with the donor's HLA compatibility and the recipient's age. Well‐matched CB and RTC were not found to be risk factors for GF. This study also details the procedures for second and third transplants in patients who rejected their first HSCT.ConclusionIn the era of RTC, CB remains a viable and expedient option for MPS transplantation.
The effect of enzymatic deamidation on the solubility and emulsifying properties of walnut protein isolate
Authors: Xue Jing , Feng Sisi , Zhou Zheng 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBACKGROUNDAlkaline‐extracted walnut protein isolates (WPI) exhibit limited solubility, which poses challenges for their application in the food industry. The present study investigated the effects of protein‐glutaminase (PG) deamidation on the physicochemical characteristics, solubility and emulsifying properties of WPI.RESULTSThe deamidation process of WPI was monitored by assessing the release of free ammonia and the reduction in solution turbidity. PG deamidation significantly increased the surface charge of WPI and modified its surface hydrophobicity with increasing deamidation degree (DD), resulting in a gradual improvement in solubility by approximately 50–70%. Furthermore, the emulsifying capacity of deamidated WPI (DeWPI), specifically at 0.25 h (DeWPI0.25, DD 7%) and 9 h (DeWPI9, DD 23%), was evaluated for stabilizing low internal phase emulsions (LIPEs) and high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). LIPEs stabilized by WPI and DeWPI0.25 exhibited significant flocculation of oil droplets, leading to decreased stability against heat, salt treatment and storage compared to those stabilized by DeWPI9. DeWPI‐stabilized HIPEs showed a 2–2.5‐fold higher storage modulus compared to those stabilized by WPI. However, HIPEs stabilized by DeWPI0.25 displayed higher flow stress and flow strain compared to DeWPI9‐stabilized HIPEs. Overall, DeWPI‐stabilized HIPEs demonstrated relatively high physical stability against storage, heat treatment and high ionic strength.CONCLUSIONPG deamidation significantly enhanced the solubility and influenced the emulsifying properties of WPI in a manner dependent on the DD. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
