The dharma of work: Cracking the code to social sustainability puzzle for the future of human resources
Authors: Kumari Alka , Singh Manvendra Pratap 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe growing awareness of social sustainability and employee experiences has gained significant global organizational attention toward socially sustainable issues, mainly due to the sudden surge in resignations, strikes, elevated job stress, and depression in the Indian manufacturing sector. Despite organizational efforts to address these challenges, a notable gap persists in understanding the influence of socially sustainable strategies on employee well‐being and organizational sustainability. Hence, this research aims to fill that void by identifying and ranking strategies for achieving sustainable development from a holistic angle. The triangulation method is employed in this study as a validation strategy, reinforcing the credibility of the findings. This study utilizes a hybrid approach that integrates the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to enhance accuracy and dependability in identifying and prioritizing critical social strategies. A literature review and FDM are used to create initial strategies, which are subsequently prioritized through the FAHP method to determine their relative significance. Eight strategies aligned with sustainable development goals are identified, with “improving employee well‐being” deemed most crucial, followed by “improving diversity, equity, and inclusion” and “equipping leaders with empathy.” The study illustrates how these social practices advance the development of sustainable business models by improving organizational culture, fostering future competencies, and promoting human‐centered leadership. This study offers managerial insights for managers striving to align organizational objectives with global sustainability aims. Organizations may leverage the identified factors for strategic planning to establish a resilient foundation capable of enduring the challenges of a dynamic market environment.

Published: October 2024

AbstractOwing to the low potential (vs K/K+), good cycling stability, and sustainability, carbon‐based materials stand out as one of the optimal anode materials for potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs). However, achieving high‐rate performance and excellent capacity with the current carbon‐based materials is challenging because of the sluggish reaction kinetics and the low capacity of carbon‐based anodes. The doping of nitrogen proves to be an effective way to improve the rate performance and capacity of carbon‐based materials as PIB anode. However, a review article is lacking in systematically summarizing the features and functions of nitrogen doping types. In this sense, it is necessary to provide a fundamental understanding of doped nitrogen types in nitrogen‐doped(N‐doped) carbon materials. The types, functions, and applications of nitrogen‐doped carbon‐based materials are overviewed in this review. Then, the recent advances in the synthesis, properties, and applications of N‐doped carbon as both active and modification materials for PIBs anode are summarized. Finally, doped nitrogen's main features and functions are concluded, and critical perspectives for future research in this field are outlined.
Leveraging Soft Acid‐Base Interactions Alters the Pathway for Electrochemical Nitrogen Oxidation to Nitrate with High Faradaic Efficiency

AbstractElectrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction (N2OR) offers a sustainable alternative to the conventional methods such as the Haber–Bosch and Ostwald oxidation processes for converting nitrogen (N2) into high‐value‐added nitrate (NO3−) under mild conditions. However, the concurrent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and inefficient N2 absorption/activation led to slow N2OR kinetics, resulting in low Faradaic efficiencies and NO3− yield rates. This study explored oxygen‐vacancy induced tin oxide (SnO2‐Ov) as an efficient N2OR electrocatalyst, achieving an impressive Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 54.2% and a notable NO3− yield rate (22.05 µg h−1 mgcat−1) at 1.7 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in 0.1 m Na2SO4. Experimental results indicate that SnO2‐Ov possesses substantially more oxygen vacancies than SnO2, correlating with enhanced N2OR performance. Computational findings suggest that the superior performance of SnO2‐Ov at a relatively low overpotential is due to reduced thermodynamic barrier for the oxidation of *N2 to *N2OH during the rate‐determining step, making this step energetically favorable than the oxygen adsorption step for OER. This work demonstrates the feasibility of ambient nitrate synthesis on the soft acidic Sn active site and introduces a new approach for rational catalyst design.

AbstractHybrid metal halide perovskite (MHP) materials, while being promising for photovoltaic technology, also encounter challenges related to material stability. Combining 2D MHPs with 3D MHPs offers a viable solution, yet there is a gap in the understanding of the stability among various 2D materials. The mechanical, ionic, and environmental stability of various 2D MHP ligands are reported, and an improvement with the use of a quater‐thiophene‐based organic cation (4TmI) that forms an organic‐semiconductor incorporated MHP structure is demonstrated. It is shown that the best balance of mechanical robustness, environmental stability, ion activation energy, and reduced mobile ion concentration under accelerated aging is achieved with the usage of 4TmI. It is believed that by addressing mechanical and ion‐based degradation modes using this built‐in barrier concept with a material system that also shows improvements in charge extraction and device performance, MHP solar devices can be designed for both reliability and efficiency.
In Situ TEM Imaging Reveals the Dynamic Interplay Between Attraction, Repulsion and Sequential Attraction‐Repulsion in Gold Nanoparticles

AbstractRecent efforts on manipulating metal nanoparticles (NPs) using an electron beam have offered new insights into nanoparticle behavior, structural transition, and the emergence of new properties. Despite an increasing understanding of the dynamics of electron beam‐induced coalescence of NPs, several phenomena are yet to be investigated. Here, we show that repulsion between two NPs is as favorable as coalescence under electron beam irradiation at room temperature. Using small‐sized (D ≈ 5.9 nm) and large‐sized (D ≈ 11.0 nm) gold (Au) NPs, and different electron dose rates, a unique sequential attraction‐repulsion between NPs is disclosed. The real‐time in situ transmission electron microscopy imaging suggest that at a low dose rate, two small‐sized AuNPs with 1.0 nm particle–particle distance undergo repulsion to 18 nm with a diffusion rate of 0.4 nm min−1. For large‐sized AuNPs, the repulsion rate is 0.08 nm min−1 at a low dose rate and is comparable to that of small‐sized AuNPs at a high dose rate. Surprisingly, large‐sized AuNPs at a high electron dose rate displayed attraction in the first 15 min, followed by rapid repulsion. This unique sequential attraction‐repulsion behavior of NPs offers possibilities to manipulate interparticle distance and properties without inducing dimensional changes for advanced photonic and plasmonic nanodevices.
The world according to the project
Authors: Aal Erik B. W. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to address the communicative reality of projects, which has an organisational and interactional component. I argue that projects can either be seen as organisation‐bound projects which are differentiated subsystems that progress along the decision premises of the organisation or as operationally closed projects with boundary‐constituting decisions (autopoietic projects). These two types of projects operate with fundamentally different world constructs. The analysis of the case study accounts of four papers shows that with Luhmann's conceptual framework, we can make a significant contribution to the explanation of ‘contextuality’, the understanding of the role of interaction systems in the functioning of projects and organisations in general, as well as the modelling of the relational dynamic between organisations and their projects.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTPhysicochemical parameters, chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentration, and phytoplankton community structure were assessed in the Wouri estuarine mangrove sector of the Douala Bassa Industrial Zone of Cameroon over two seasons. Three sets of water samples were collected from 10 sites for these analyses. Some physicochemical parameters were measured in situ using multiparameter equipment (HANNA 8289). The data were subjected to analyses of significant difference by an independent sample t‐test. Correlation and principal component analysis conducted between variables Temperature, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), resistivity, and turbidity showed a strong seasonal variation among sites. Mean Chl a concentration (3.7–48.29 µg/L for dry and 0.1–20.1 µg/L for rainy season) revealed that most sites were eutrophic, with the Euglenophycean index less than 1 in all the sites. Phytoplankton species richness exhibited seasonal and spatial variation, with a total of 74 taxa and 51 taxa for the dry and rainy seasons, respectively. The division Bacillariophyta was the most abundant, with 19 families and 24 species during the dry season and 17 families and 16 species during the rainy season. Other phytoplankton divisions present included Chlorophyta > Cyanophyta > Charophyta > > Myzozoa > Euglenophyta in the dry season; the less diverse divisions in the rainy season were Rhodophyta > Cryptophyta > Xanthophyta > Euglenophyta. High concentrations of nutrients and the presence of eutrophic species such as Microcystis aeruginosa suggest pollution and a need to monitor activities carried out along the water course with respect to the quantity and quality of industrial effluents discharged into the stream. The observed eutrophication explains the noxious odor across the city of Douala, especially during the dry season. The human health implications could be severe, with communities dependent on this contaminated stream for fish and other necessities a scenario that repeats itself in communities dependent on urban wetlands in industrial zones globally.

Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund
Die zunehmende Überlastung von Notaufnahmen aller Fachdisziplinen ist eine der drängendsten Herausforderungen unserer Zeit im Gesundheitswesen. Über die Frage, inwieweit dieses Problem auch die tertiäre Notfallversorgung der deutschen Augenheilkunde betrifft, ist allerdings wenig bekannt.

Ziel der Arbeit
Das Ziel dieser Studie ist, einen fundierten Beitrag zur Entwicklung der Notfallzahlen im tertiären Sektor (spezialisierte Hochschulambulanz) in der deutschen Augenheilkunde zu leisten. Daraus lässt sich die Notwendigkeit ableiten, neue Steuerungs- und Triagemechanismen für die Augenheilkunde zu entwickeln.

Material und Methoden
Retrospektiv wurden > 140.000 Notfallbehandlungen an der Universitäts-Augenklinik Tübingen im Zeitraum vom 01.01.2010 bis zum 31.12.2023 analysiert. Subanalysen wurden durchgeführt um den Einfluss der COVID-19-Pandemie sowie Unterschiede zwischen Vorstellungen am Wochenende und unter der Woche zu quantifizieren. Zusätzlich wurde im Jahr 2022 eine Fragebogenerhebung zum Zuweiserstatus von Notfallvorstellungen in Randzeiten und am Wochenende durchgeführt.

Ergebnisse
Die Zahl der Notfallkonsultationen hat sich zwischen 2010 und 2023 mehr als verdoppelt und an Wochenenden mehr als verdreifacht. Die für die Versorgungssicherheit relevante Spitzenlast ist in gleichem Maße angestiegen. Langfristig ist eine Verschiebung der Notfallbehandlungen von den Kern- zu den Randzeiten zu beobachten, insbesondere an den Wochenenden. Die Mehrzahl der Konsultationen (bis zu 87 %) erfolgte ohne ärztliche Überweisung. Im Jahr 2023 haben die Behandlungszahlen wieder das Niveau vor Beginn der COVID-19-Pandemie erreicht.

Diskussion
Die Notfallambulanz der Universitäts-Augenklinik ist zunehmend einer Doppelbelastung ausgesetzt: Einerseits Versorgung von Notfällen mit fachärztlicher Überweisung und gleichzeitig als Auffangbecken für allgemeine Notfälle. Um langfristig eine gute Versorgung zu gewährleisten, sind neue Steuerungs- und Triagemechanismen dringend erforderlich.

Abstract
Introduction
Evidence from Asian studies suggests that minimally-invasive gastrectomy achieves equivalent oncological but improved perioperative outcomes compared to open surgery. Oncological gastric resections are less frequent in European countries. Index procedures may play a role for the learning curve of minimally-invasive gastrectomy. The aim of our study was to evaluate if skills acquired in bariatric surgery allow a safe and oncologically adequate implementation of minimally-invasive gastrectomy in a cohort of european patients.

Methods
In this single-center retrospective study, all patients who received primary bariatric surgery between January 2015 and December 2018 and minimally-invasive surgery for gastric cancer treated from June 2019 to January 2023 were evaluated. Primary endpoints were operation time, lymph node yield and lymph node fractions. Secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and oncological outcomes.

Results
Learning curves for two surgeons with 350 bariatric procedures and 44 minimally-invasive gastrectomies were analyzed. For bariatric surgery, the mean operation time decreased from initially 82 ± 27 to 45 ± 21 min and 118 ± 28 to 81 ± 36 min for sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), while the complication rate remained within the international benchmark. For laparoscopic gastrectomy (n = 30), operation times decreased but then remained stable over time. Operation times for the robotic platform were longer (302 ± 60 vs. 390 ± 48 min; p < 0.001) with the learning curve remaining incomplete after 14 procedures. R0 status was achieved in 95.5% of patients; the mean number of lymph nodes retrieved was 37 ± 14 with no differences between the groups. Complete mesogastric excision was more frequently achieved during the later laparoscopic cases whereas it occurred earlier for the robotic group (p = 0.004). Perioperative morbidity was comparable to the European benchmark. Textbook outcome was achieved in 54.4% of the cases.

Conclusion
In summary, we could demonstrate a successful skill transfer from bariatric surgery to minimally-invasive laparoscopic oncological gastric surgery enabling safe and oncologically adequate minimally-invasive D2 gastrectomy in a central European patient collective.
Distance Relativism and the Limits of Moral Assessment: Fricker and Williams
Authors: Gray David Miguel 
Published: October 2024

AbstractDistance relativism (Williams, 1975, 1985) can be distinguished from other ethical relativisms in two ways. First, moral assessment is appropriate between contemporary societies and those of the recent past. Second, where moral assessment is not appropriate, the distance relativist practices quietism. Fricker (2010) critiques Bernard Williams’s (1975, 1985) distance relativism, claiming it fails to deliver the intended results regarding which societies we can appraise. Here, I address Fricker’s critique and present a novel interpretation of Williams’s idea of ‘outlooks,’ showing that Fricker’s criticisms are not insurmountable.

Published: October 2024

AbstractMotivation is an interdisciplinary concept which encompasses various theories, concepts and frameworks. This paper aims to bring various motivational theories together, with interest development at its core, to develop a more streamlined framework of interest development. Interest is believed to play a vital role in student learning, and this “Growth cycle of interest” framework aims to provide a deeper understanding of interest development in the context of education. This paper begins with a brief overview of major motivational theories, synthesising them into the Growth Cycle of Interest framework, which is then exemplified through case studies.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this study, we report a 6-month empirical study on a service robot deployed in a bakery shop. Recently, potential applications of service robots have been increasingly explored. However, further empirical knowledge is required to determine the optimal approach to design service robots for useful applications. We also address “usefulness” from two perspectives: the effects of a robot on customers’ shopping behavior and the practical benefits the robot could provide for human workers in its working environment. The results show that our robot achieved long-term effects on product recommendations for customers who visited the bakery store on a regular basis (weekly) but not for other customers. A thematic analysis of the interviews reflected the practical values that the staff expected from the robot. Based on these findings, we we outline key considerations for designing effective long-term service robot applications.

AbstractA diet rich in polyphenols and other types of phytonutrients can reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases. However, a well-established cause—and—effect association has not been clearly demonstrated and several other issues will need to be fully understood before general recommendations will be carried out In the present review, some of the future challenges that the research on phenolic compounds will have to face in the next years are discussed: toxicological aspects of polyphenols and safety risk assessment; synergistic effects between different polyphenols; metabotype-based nutritional advice based on a differential gut microbial metabolism of polyphenols (precision nutrition); combination of polyphenols with other bioactive compounds; innovative formulations to improve the bioavailability of phenolic compounds; and polyphenols in sports nutrition and recovery.Other aspects related to polyphenol research that will have a boost in the next years are: polyphenol and gut microbiota crosstalk, including prebiotic effects and biotransformation of phenolic compounds into bioactive metabolites by gut microorganisms; molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and quantum and molecular mechanics studies on the protein–polyphenol complexes; and polyphenol-based coating films, nanoparticles, and hydrogels to facilitate the delivery of drugs, nucleic acids and proteins.In summary, this article provides some constructive inspirations for advancing in the research of the applications, risk assessment and metabolic effects of dietary polyphenols in humans.
Solving industrial fault diagnosis problems with quantum computers

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this article, we investigate in how far quantum computers can be leveraged to solve NP-complete fault diagnosis problems within the area of industrial cyber-physical systems. Therefore, two approaches are proposed which exploit quantum computing to solve diagnosis problems: The first method employs Grover’s algorithm, and the second is based on the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm. To show the industrial application, we present an integrated approach to learn the diagnosis model from process data, check whether the model is suitable, and use it for diagnosis. The result is a method for quantum industrial fault diagnosis. For this approach, the diagnostic capabilities and the runtime have been evaluated on an IBM Falcon processor using three publicly available benchmarks from the process industry. Further, the scaling between quantum computers and classical PCs has been analyzed.
The Impact of Healthcare Pressures on the COVID-19 Hospitalisation Fatality Risk in England
Authors: Mellor Jonathon , Jones Owen , Ward Thomas 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background
As the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic extends into 2023 and beyond, the treatment and outcomes of infected patients continues to evolve. Unlike earlier in the pandemic there are now further infectious disease pressures placed on hospitals, which influence patient care and triage decisions.

Methods
The manuscript uses individual patient records linked with associated hospital management information of system pressure characteristics to attribute COVID-19 hospitalisation fatality risks (HFR) to patients and hospitals, using generalised additive mixed effects models.

Results
Between 01 September 2022 and 09 October 2023, the COVID-19 hospitalisation fatality risk in England was estimated as 12.71% (95% confidence interval (CI) 12.53%, 12.88%). Staff absences had an adjusted odds ratio of 1.038 (95% CI 1.017, 1.060) associated with the HFR when accounting for patient and hospital characteristics.

Interpretation
This observational research presents evidence that a range of local hospital effects can have a meaningful impact on the risk of death from COVID-19 once hospitalised and should be accounted for when reporting estimates. We show that both the patient case mix and hospital pressures impact estimates of patient outcomes.
