AbstractObjectiveMoisturizers are integral to daily skincare routines, reflecting the increasing trend among people towards cosmetic products, particularly for skin care. They significantly contribute to preserving skin health, particularly by regulating the epidermal barrier and moisture levels within the skin. This study aims to explore the moisturizing and antioxidant effect of skin barrier restoring cream Moiz MM (MZ) with shea butter, silkflo and vitamin E by investigating its protective effect against oxidative stress‐induced cellular damage and therapeutic mechanisms in human keratinocytes cells (HaCaT).MethodsThe in vitro antioxidant activity of MZ was evaluated by DPPH, ABTS and NO assays. For the cell culture study, HaCaT cells were cultured and stimulated using H2O2 and then treated with different concentrations of MZ. Then, it was subjected to DCFH‐DA staining, reverse transcriptase PCR and western blot analysis for the evaluation of various skin‐moisture‐related components in human keratinocyte cells. Type I procollagen was examined using ELISA technique.ResultsThe results highlighted that oxidative stress in HaCaT cells decreased type I procollagen synthesis, while MZ treatment significantly increased the synthesis. Moreover, the viability of HaCaT cells was not affected in the presence of MZ, which demonstrates its non‐toxic effect. Furthermore, MZ can counteract H2O2‐mediated oxidative stress by enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activity such as superoxide dismutase and catalase, and decrease reactive oxygen species generation in skin cells. Additionally, MZ greatly promotes hyaluronic acid production by enhancing the expression of the hyaluronic acid synthase‐1 gene and Aquaporin 3 protein.ConclusionThis study suggests that MZ has the potential to serve as a moisturizing and antioxidant skincare formula.

ABSTRACTGlobally, climate changes have significantly shifted the phenological phases and stages of rice, altered the duration of the growing season and negatively affected rice productivity due to flooding and drought. However, in the present study, the positive and negative impacts of inter‐annual climate variability on rice crops during phenological stages in agro‐climatic zones of Punjab for the period from 1989 to 2018. Initially, first difference approach was applied to minimise the impact of technological factors. Then, skewness and kurtosis tests were used to check the normalisation of the data. The standardisation method was used to normalise the data. Pearson correlation was used to determine the significant effects of climate variables on rice yield. The residuals were formed to confirm the effects of inter‐annual climate variability on rice yield in the phenological phases. The analysis revealed that a high variability of rice yields was investigated in the western region compared to the southern and western regions. The results showed a negative impact of heavy rainfall (flooding) on the years with low yields (2010, 2013 and 2016) in the Central region. Similarly, the years with low rice yields (1996, 2010, 2013 and 2014) in the Southern region were negatively affected by flooding at the time of sowing. A positive effect of rainfall was observed in the years with high rice yields (1995, 2002, 2009 and 2018) in the Western region. In contrast, the low‐yielding years 1994, 2003 and 2010 were negatively affected by flooding in the same years during the tillering stage. A high interannual maximum temperature variability was analysed in the Southern > Western > Central regions, leading to yield losses due to biotic stress during tillering and stem elongation stages. This is due to the immense reason of drought stress. The minimum temperature negatively affects the low‐yield years (2001, 2008, 2013 and 2016) in the central zone and the low‐yield years (2014, 2015 and 2016) in the southern zone during the reproductive stage. This research will help to develop new rice varieties that are more productive at high temperatures and require less water, leading to sustainable development in arid and semi‐arid regions.
Thermodynamic study on the phase assemblage of MPC exposed to natural and accelerated carbonation conditions
Authors: Han Weiwei , Chen Huisu , Song Shaomin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractMagnesium phosphate cement (MPC), which belongs to chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, is commonly applied as a repair material and waste stabilization/solidifications. However, studies on the influence of CO2 on the phase assemblages in MPC are limited. A thermodynamic simulation approach is employed to explore the influence of CO2 on the equilibrium phase assemblage of MPC. The mechanisms of natural and enforced carbonation of MPC have been investigated in this work. The results disclose that Mg carbonates are less likely to precipitate in magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) cured under CO2, while MgCO3·3H2O is the only carbonation product of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC). The carbonation resistance of MAPC is better than that of MKPC. The increase of activity of magnesia employed in MPC obviously enhances the formation of brucite and slightly promotes the carbonation of MPC.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTAimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptability and satisfaction of pregnant women at risk of hypertensive disorders with self‐monitoring their blood pressure.DesignA prospective cross‐sectional study.MethodsWomen at risk of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy were recommended to self‐monitor their blood pressure at the study site to reduce hospital visits. Women who purchased a subsidised blood pressure monitor through the hospital were invited to participate in a survey about acceptability of and satisfaction with self‐monitoring their blood pressure between hospital visits. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics and content analysis.ResultsThirty women completed the survey. Most women were highly satisfied with self‐monitoring their blood pressure and the support provided from hospital staff for responding to high readings experienced at home. The reassurance of monitoring their health and the convenience of reduced hospital visits were reported benefits of self‐monitoring blood pressure. Inaccuracy of readings, anxiety associated with high readings, and cost of purchasing the machine were described as concerns by a small number of women.ConclusionThe findings suggest that self‐monitoring blood pressure may be a useful addition to antenatal care for women at risk of hypertensive disorders. Ensuring that antenatal care providers adequately test machines for accuracy and educate women about proper use is essential. Promoting equitable access to self‐monitoring by providing free or very low‐cost machines to women experiencing financial disadvantage is warranted.ImpactSelf‐monitoring blood pressure during pregnancy has the potential to improve the detection of hypertensive disorders and reduce hospital visits and associated healthcare system costs.Public or Patient ContributionThe authors have nothing to report.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundPrevious research has demonstrated that quizzing can improve self‐regulation processes and learning performances. However, it remains unclear whether quizzes in multimedia material bring similar benefits, and whether interindividual differences such as working memory capacity (WMC) modulate quizzing effects.AimsThis study aimed to examine the effects of embedded quizzes (multiple quizzes within the learning sequence) with feedback during a multimedia learning sequence on self‐regulated processing (monitoring and control) and learning performances on repeated (material already tested) and new (untested) questions, and possible WMC moderation on performances.Sample and MethodsParticipants were 59 students who learned a multimedia neuroscience course module in either a no‐quiz or embedded quizzes condition. With regard to self‐regulated processing, control was assessed with eye‐tracking measures (fixation durations and transitions between texts and illustrations), and monitoring by comparing self‐reported judgements of learning with actual performances (calibration). At the end, students' WMC was measured, and learning performances were assessed with repeated and new questions.ResultsQuizzing improved learning performances on repeated and new questions, and enhanced monitoring (better calibration). Students with low WMC benefited more from quizzing for new questions than those with high WMC. However, contrary to our hypothesis, the embedded quizzes group allocated less time to the learning than the no‐quiz group.ConclusionsEmbedded quizzes are relevant tools to help students recalibrate their monitoring process and foster more effective self‐regulated learning. Results confirm that the use of quizzes can be recommended to improve the learning of multimedia material, especially among students with low WMC.

AbstractBackgroundSocial media provides new opportunities for teachers to learn, communicate and develop professional relationships. It has been proved to be a valid and helpful resource for teachers' professional learning purposes.ObjectivesWhile previous studies pursued questions like how participants feel, how to support interaction and why participants remain committed, we asked a more fundamental question: what is the structure of a massive informal online professional learning network and what dynamics can we expect regarding participants' commitment?MethodsThis work presents an empirical study of massive informal online professional networks to investigate the dynamics of learning communities and participants' commitment over time. We employed social network analysis and data mining techniques on a longitudinal data set of more than 400,000 tweets published with the hashtag “#edchat.”Results and ConclusionsWe found that around 30% of participants remained committed to the informal learning community over time. Meanwhile, as more and more people committed to the online learning community, participants tended to form smaller communities where the internal connection was stronger.TakeawaysIn informal online learning environments, participants can form stable connections. The 30% threshold can be used to measure massive informal online learning networks in terms of commitment or persistence.

Authors: Dhar Rishab , Chakraborty Snehasis 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThe influence of thermal (95°C, 5 min), pulsed light (PL, 1.64 kJ/cm2 available fluence) and microwave (MW, 2 kW, and 16 min ≈ 90°C final temperature) treatment on various quality attributes and shelf‐life of bael (Aegle marmelos) beverage was investigated. The quality parameters under consideration included microbial growth, enzyme activity, bioactive components, sensory quality, and physicochemical properties. Effects of different packaging materials (ethyl vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and multilayered (ML) pouches) and storage temperatures (25°C and 4°C) were also explored. The rate of sample deterioration, loss of bioactive components, and sensory qualities increased with higher storage temperature. MW and thermal processing showed better storage stability based on the minimum microbial counts, enzyme activities, and minimal changes in soluble solids. Least sedimentation was seen in thermally treated samples. MW treatment was better in preventing alterations in pH and titratable acidity (at 25°C), reducing sugars, browning, and sensory acceptance. On 50th day at 4°C, higher total phenolic content (59%–64%), antioxidant capacity (69%–72%), and total carotenoid content (136%–139%) were obtained with the PL treatment. For both packaging materials, a shelf‐life of 40–50 days (as per aerobic mesophile count ≤ 4.0 log CFU/mL) and 30 days (as per overall sensory acceptability > 5) at 4°C was obtained for thermal and microwave. As per AM count, shelf‐life of PL irradiated beverages was 40 days, and according to sensory acceptability, it was 30 days. Overall, MW processed beverages stored in ML‐pouches and at 4°C exhibited better shelf life and storage quality.

AbstractMaterial stocks of infrastructure, buildings, and machinery are the biophysical basis of production and consumption. They are a crucial lever for resource efficiency and a sustainable circular economy. While material stock research has proliferated over the last years, most studies investigated specific materials or end‐uses, usually not embedded into an economy‐wide perspective. Herein, we present a novel version of the economy‐wide, dynamic, inflow‐driven model of material inputs, stocks, and outputs (MISO2), and present a global, country‐level application. Currently, MISO2 covers 14 supply chain processes from raw material extraction to processing, trade, recycling, and waste management, as well as 13 end‐uses of stocks. The derived database covers 23 raw materials and 20 stock‐building materials, across 177 countries from 1900 to 2016. We find that total material stocks amount to 1093 Gt in 2016, of which the majority are residential (290 Gt) and non‐residential buildings (234 Gt), as well as civil engineering (243 Gt), and roads (313 Gt). The other nine end‐uses covering stationary and mobile machinery, as well as short‐lived products, amount to 13 Gt. Material stocks per capita are highly unequally distributed around the world, with one order of magnitude difference between low‐ and high‐income countries. Results agree well with similar global country‐level studies. Low data quality for some domains, especially for lower‐income countries and for sand and gravel aggregates, warrant further attention. In conclusion, the MISO2 model and the derived database provide stock‐flow consistent perspectives of the socio‐economic metabolism around the world, enabling multiple novel and policy relevant research opportunities.

ABSTRACTAimTo explore the healthcare experiences and needs of older adults living with HIV in Sweden.DesignA phenomenological study using qualitative thematic analysis.MethodsData were gathered through semistructured qualitative interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. A purposive sample of individuals ageing and living with HIV was recruited for this study.ResultsA total of 22 participants aged 65 years and older, with a mean age of 75 years, participated in the study. Living with HIV meant a need to rely on consistent healthcare and treatment over the course of one's lifetime. The experiences of older adults were described under four themes: relying on access to health care, desiring involvement and shared decision‐making, the importance of trust and confidentiality and experiences of stigma in healthcare visits.ConclusionLiving and ageing with HIV involved recurring exposure and vulnerability in healthcare encounters, and experiences of being exposed to HIV‐related stigma, especially outside HIV clinics. Continuity and being seen as a person in healthcare encounters were important. Enhancing HIV knowledge alongside fostering supportive attitudes and approaches of healthcare professionals is critical for ensuring high‐quality and nondiscriminating health care.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareMeeting the needs of older adults living with HIV requires a person‐centred approach, including active involvement and shared decision‐making between patients and healthcare providers.ImpactThis study describes the healthcare experiences and needs of older adults, aged 65 years and older, living with HIV, a population that is not typically investigated in qualitative research. Living and ageing with HIV means a vulnerability where the attitudes of professionals and the active involvement of the patient become significant for quality care. The findings can help with the implementation of policies and practices for the care of older adults living with HIV.Reporting MethodThe Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) was used.Patient and Public ContributionPatient representatives were involved in discussions on data collection and the development of the interview guide.
