Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study demonstrates the feasibility of extracting lecithin from oil industry byproducts in an eco‐friendly manner, with minimal use of water and without harmful chemicals. Liposomes can be generated directly from this extracted lecithin, enhancing the value of these byproducts and enabling the production of catalytic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Thin‐layer chromatography of the extracted lecithin revealed a phospholipid composition primarily consisting of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, and surface tension studies demonstrated similar behavior between the extracted and commercial lecithin. Liposome formation using sustainable lecithin (LPn) resulted in structures that were stable for at least 10 days, exhibiting a low polydispersity index (0.395) and uniform size (approximately 214 ± 7 nm). Gold nanoparticles were synthesized successfully in LPn loaded with [HAuCl4] by using different photoreduction methods: ultraviolet (UV) lamp, pulsed laser 355 nm, and sunlight irradiation. The AuNPs exhibited characteristic sizes (ranging from 5.03 to 6.78 nm) and optical properties typical of nanoparticles, including a distinct surface plasmon resonance. As a proof of concept, we also demonstrated that the synthesized AuNPs exhibited catalytic activity in UV‐induced cis‐trans isomerization reactions. Overall, the study highlights the potential of sustainable soy lecithin extraction for diverse applications, including nanoparticle synthesis and catalysis.

AbstractIm Forschungsprojekt COUNT (COncreting UNder Traffic) wurden die Auswirkungen von Verkehrserschütterungen auf jungen Beton umfangreich untersucht. Diese Fragestellung hat in letzter Zeit an Relevanz gewonnen, denn bei Erneuerungs‐ oder Erweiterungsarbeiten an Brücken werden oft Verkehrssperren verhängt, da man fürchtet, dass die vom Verkehr verursachten Erschütterungen den jungen Beton schädigen könnten. COUNT zielte darauf ab, kritische Erschütterungswerte und zugrundeliegende Schädigungsmechanismen anhand von drei Versuchsserien zu ermitteln. Im bereits veröffentlichten 1. Teil des Aufsatzes wurde über die ersten beiden Serien berichtet, bei welchen unbewehrter Beton bzw. der Beton‐Stahl‐Verbund untersucht wurde. Der vorliegende 2. Teil des Aufsatzes handelt vorwiegend von der dritten Serie, bei welcher Versuche in großem realitätsnahem Maßstab durchgeführt wurden. Es wurden Platten aus Beton hergestellt, die in direktem Kontakt zu einer schwingenden vorgefertigten Betonplatte standen. Mögliche Schäden wurden später anhand von Rissmessungen, Biegeversuchen und Permeabilitätstests untersucht. Am Ende werden Empfehlungen für die Praxis gegeben, wobei auch Erkenntnisse fremder Forschungsarbeiten berücksichtigt werden.

Published: October 2024

AbstractClay‐based materials are an emerging family of earth‐abundant and low‐cost inorganic functional materials with an modifiable layered‐structure mode similar to hydroxides. They are considered as competitive electrocatalysts for water splitting due to their variable intra‐layer ions, exchangeable interlayer molecules/ions, and large reaction surfaces, which demonstrate fascinating engineering opportunities at the microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale levels. We systematically summarized the research progress of clay‐based materials by classifying clay‐like compounds, clay‐based composites, and clay‐based derivatives, from the viewpoint of structural geometries towards optimizing functionalities. The design strategies for regulating and optimizing clay‐based materials to meet the requirements of electrocatalysts with excellent activity and stability were outlined through representative examples. In addition, the hydrogen production applications of these clay‐based materials were discussed reasonably including recent advances. Finally, the future perspectives of clay‐based materials for electrocatalytic water splitting were demonstrated.
A Quantum Mechanical Approach to The Mechanism of Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Amine by Imine Reductase from Stackebrandtia Nassauensis

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) has gained importance in recent years due to their significant potential in drug development studies. In this study, the conversion of 1‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinoline substrate to a chiral amine, 1‐methyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline, under the catalysis of the stereoselective imine reductase enzyme from Stackebrandtia nassauensis (SnIR) was investigated in detail to elucidate the mechanism and explain the experimental enantioselectivity. The results were found to be in agreement with the experimental data. To elucidate the reaction mechanism, quantum mechanical calculations were performed by considering a large cluster of the active site of the enzyme. In this regard, possible reaction pathways leading to both R‐ and S‐products with the corresponding intermediates and the transition states for the hydride transfer from the cofactor to the substrate were considered by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the factors contributing to the observed stereoselectivity were sought. The calculations supported a stepwise mechanism rather than the concerted protonation and the hydride transfer steps. The stereoselectivity in the hydride transfer was found to be due not only to the stability of the enzyme‐subtrate complex but also to the corresponding reaction barriers. The calculations were performed at the wB97XD/6‐311+G(2df,2p)//B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level of theory using the PCM approach.
Doing good with flow: Unlocking brand passion through virtual CSR co‐creation participation and immersive experiences
Authors: Suo Danni , Dai Jiatong , Gong Siyu 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAdvancements in social media technology have empowered brands to engage in virtual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) co‐creation activities, which are crucial for CSR success and sustainability. Employing four scenario‐based experimental studies (1049 samples in total) alongside analyses of variance (ANOVA) and regression methodologies, we investigate how virtual CSR co‐creation activities impact consumer emotional reactions and branding behaviors. The SPSS software and the Process macro were used for data analysis. The results reveal that higher persistence (Study 1) and deeper participation (Study 2) in virtual CSR co‐creation are more likely to enhance brand passion. Flow experience mediates the above positive relationship between virtual CSR co‐creation and brand passion. Furthermore, when virtual CSR co‐creation activities take place in private settings rather than public settings, the positive effects of consumers' participation persistence and depth on brand passion will be attenuated. This work advances the theoretical understanding of brand passion within the domain of virtual CSR co‐creation. It provides new perspectives and practical implications for enhancing consumer‐brand relationships through virtual CSR co‐creation activities.

Published: October 2024

AbstractA twisted chiral nanographene (NG) surrounded by eight bulky tert‐butyl groups fused with emissive chromophore perylene was synthesized by highly regioselective cyclodehydrogenation strategy in which a double [6]helicene was formed simultaneously. The twisted 4‐meso was unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X‐ray analysis. The NG showed an excellent photoluminescence quantum yield (ϕf) of 55 %, indicating its great potential for chiral optoelectronics.

AbstractObjectiveThe COVID‐19 pandemic initiated public health measures, impacting mental health and exacerbating disordered eating behaviours (DEB). This study aims to fill gaps in understanding DEB in the general population during the pandemic, emphasising gender dynamics and the experiences of gender and/or sexual minority (SGM) individuals.MethodA systematic literature review followed PRISMA guidelines to investigate DEB during the pandemic, focusing on gender‐sensitive analyses and SGM populations. Outcomes from the included studies were synthesised to identify patterns and associations related to DEB, particularly considering gender dynamics and SGM experiences.ResultsSignificant gender associations with DEB were observed, with women consistently exhibiting higher scores. SGM populations also showed elevated DEB symptoms. Longitudinal studies indicated changes in DEB over time, with some decreases observed among men.ConclusionsThe review underscores significant gender differences in DEB during the pandemic, with women exhibiting higher symptom levels. Lockdown measures had nuanced impacts on DEB, varying across studies. Various factors including pandemic‐related stressors influenced DEB. Consideration of these factors can inform tailored interventions for DEB in the general population. Overall, the review enhances our understanding of how gender intersects with the pandemic's impact on DEB, emphasising the need for diverse approaches to address these behaviours.
Severity levels of anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa in a Korean cohort

Published: October 2024

AbstractObjectiveDespite its potential for informing tailored treatments, the severity of eating disorders (EDs) lacks clear conceptualisation. The present retrospective cohort study examined the clinical validity and utility of severity specifiers for anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical AN in a Korean population.MethodData from 696 Korean outpatients with AN or atypical AN were analysed. Severity criteria for AN from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, and the Medical Emergencies in Eating Disorders (MEED) guidance were used. Severity criteria applied for atypical AN were the frequency of intermittent fasting (ED Diagnostic Scale item 17), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire global scores, and the degree of weight suppression.ResultsPrevalence of extreme cases of AN in our cohort was higher than in Western populations in previous studies. MEED guidance further subclassified extreme AN, revealing distinct psychopathological profiles across severity levels. The proposed severity classification for atypical AN based on the weight loss behaviour of intermittent fasting showed merit.ConclusionsThese findings suggest a potential need for a more nuanced AN severity classification that better represents severe medical aspects and encompasses cultural and ethnic diversities. In atypical AN, there is a need to examine severity indices measuring pathological behaviours.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTOver the past two decades, the frequency of natural hazard incidents has steadily risen, leading to substantial human casualties, infrastructure destruction, societal and economic disruption. The occurrence of disasters, both of natural and human origin, has exhibited an upward trend in frequency over the past few decades on a global scale, posing a significant threat to diverse populations. Over time, remote sensing technologies have proven to be effective in analysing and monitoring diverse natural disasters, including but not limited to droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and cyclones. The significant extent of its coverage capacity and the ability to repeat observations make its application economically efficient. This paper aims to elucidate the fundamental contributions and role of remote sensing in disaster management applications. In a comprehensive analysis, this study explores recent practical applications in the context of disaster events. The utilisation of diverse methodologies and functions of remote sensing in disaster monitoring and control is further expanded to encompass the domain of disaster risk management, employing cutting‐edge sensors and satellites from emerging technological advancements. This paper also addresses challenges related to disaster monitoring, detection and management. Emergencies, particularly during typical catastrophe scenarios, often witness partial disruptions in communication networks. Consequently, the role of alternative networks becomes paramount in enabling effective disaster detection and management strategies. Emerging issues are highlighted, and potential directions for future research are outlined and also support sustainable development goal 13 (climate action).
Basin–Orogen Coupling‐Driven Meso‐Cenozoic Deformation Along the Southern Margin of the Junggar Basin, NW China: Insights From Integrated Multidisciplinary Analysis

ABSTRACTThe southern margin of the Junggar Basin (SMJB) represents the typical intra‐continental basin–orogen coupling structure of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and is a key area to study the deformation mechanisms and the geodynamic evolution processes of the North Tianshan Orogen. Herein, we compiled data from boreholes, gravity and magnetism, seismicity‐ and magnetotellurics‐derived geological profiles and field data to recover the sedimentary history of the SMJB and discuss the intra‐continental deformation driven by the basin–orogen coupling mechanism. The results show that the sedimentary and tectonic evolution of the SMJB were both profoundly controlled by the intra‐continental orogeny of the North Tianshan Orogen and its coupling with the Junggar Basin during the Meso‐Cenozoic period. Consequently, the SMJB is dominated by thick‐skinned thrust nappes accompanied with strike‐slip faulting and thrusting. The foreland thrust belt of the SMJB is characterised by three structural belts, from south to north, including the basement‐involved thrust belt, the cover‐detached foreland thrust‐fold belt and the thrusted foreland basement uplifts, respectively. Meanwhile, as indicated by the geometry of the basement thrusts, the thickness of décollements and the structure of the foreland basement, the stress field in the SMJB is obviously stronger in the west and weaker in the east. The sedimentation and deformation migrated northwards into the basin area in a stepwise process, that corresponded to the pace of the overthrusting of the North Tianshan Orogen onto the Junggar Block. Intense regional compression induced the rapid uplifting of the North Tianshan and the significant crustal shortening of the Junggar Block, driving the three structural belts to form accordingly during the Late Jurassic to the Neogene. There are at least one or two décollements within the SMJB, representing one of the main features of basin–orogen coupling structure in most cases. The décollement of some layers represents the decoupling of the sedimentary cover with the basement, which helps to accommodate the lateral crustal shortening of the SMJB by a translation into vertical uplift. As a result, the detached foreland thrust‐fold belts in the shallow level of the upper crust overthrusted upon the basement‐involved nappes of the mountain's side, forming the opposite thrust system. Coevally, the basement of the basin, in the deep level of the upper crust keeps underthrusting beneath the North Tianshan Orogen, forming a typical crocodile mouth‐like structure. In general, both the shallow and deep deformation in the SMJB have been formed by the intense intra‐continental compression during the Meso‐Cenozoic, which were driven by the basin–orogen coupling mechanism.
“No time to buy”: Asking consumers to spend time to save money is perceived as fairer than asking them to spend money to save time
Authors: Trupia Maria Giulia , Shaddy Franklin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractFirms often ask consumers to either spend time to save money (e.g., Lyft's “Wait & Save”) or spend money to save time (e.g., Uber's “Priority Pickup”). Across six preregistered studies (N = 3631), including seven reported in Appendix S1 (N = 2930), we find that asking consumers to spend time to save money is perceived as fairer than asking them to spend money to save time (all else equal), with downstream consequences for word‐of‐mouth, purchase intentions, willingness‐to‐pay (WTP), and incentive‐compatible choice. This is because spend‐time‐to‐save‐money offers reduce concerns about firms' profit‐seeking motives, which consumers find aversive and unfair. The effect is thus mediated by inferences about profit‐seeking and attenuates when concerns about those motives are less salient (e.g., for non‐profits). At the same time, we find that spend‐money‐to‐save‐time offers (e.g., expedited shipping) are more common in the marketplace. This research reveals how normatively equivalent trade‐offs can nevertheless yield contradictory fairness judgments, with meaningful implications for marketing theory and practice.
Clinical assessment strategies for competency‐based education in prosthetic dentistry
Authors: Khan Saadika B. , Maart Ronel 
Published: October 2024

AbstractReflective practice is viewed as a theoretical and pedagogical concept in higher education having several diverse approaches and interpretations. The most important aspect of reflective practice is that it is a necessary quality assurance aspect of higher education which should occur recurrently and at different stages of the program. It usually entails an evaluation of advanced instructions which has become the norm in an educational setting, in order to improve the learning outcomes. Reflective practice must therefore be seen as a tool which allows continuous improvement, modifications, and changes to educational approaches, which include theoretical and clinical assessment strategies. Academics in prosthetic dentistry at a research‐led university reflected on their current assessment strategies used in the senior undergraduate dental program as part of a quality assurance process and its global comparability. This paper aims to share and explain the importance of reviewing assessment strategies in higher education, especially in such a clinical program using reflective practice as a framework. Different assessment strategies used over a 5‐year period are explored and their different structures, expectations, and appropriateness for a clinical program are reported from the literature. The concerns were addressed in a cyclical manner within this framework, and Blooms and blueprinting implemented where appropriate. We conclude that without a validated definition and framework for regular reflective practices, and guidelines to modify the included assessment strategies, the quality assurance within a competency‐based dental program may be compromised.
Impact of teaching modality on soft skill development: Oral health literacy awareness skills assessed using standardized patient experiences

Published: October 2024

AbstractObjectivesHealth literacy awareness is a crucial skill for health professionals, yet training may be lacking. Didactic lectures may improve health literacy awareness in future health professionals, however, compressed curricula may lead educators to consider the incorporation of eLearning into the delivery of health literacy education. E‐modules have been shown to engage learners, yet little is known about their effectiveness in instilling behavioral change in learners’ clinical communication skills. This study aimed to shed light on the impact of learning modality on dental students’ ability to learn and translate soft skills into clinical settings.MethodsAn e‐module on health literacy awareness was created by the researchers with an equivalent lecture developed. Fifty‐six dental students were randomly assigned to a control or intervention cohort (lecture or e‐module) and all cohorts participated in standardized patient experiences to be assessed in a simulated but authentic patient care scenario. Pre‐ and post‐intervention scores, simulation scores, and learner reflections were compared.ResultsFifty‐six students participated in the study. Post‐intervention health literacy awareness knowledge increased for both intervention cohorts. In clinical simulation, intervention cohorts scored significantly higher on nearly all variables, with the lecture cohort scoring consistently better than e‐learners.ConclusionBoth lecture and e‐learning are effective learning modalities for promoting health literacy awareness, but dental students learning the subject via lecture may translate certain newly acquired soft skills more effectively in clinical scenarios.

AbstractIntroduction(1) Assess the harmonization of structured electronic health record data (laboratory results and medications) to reference terminologies and characterize the severity of issues. (2) Identify issues of data completeness by comparing complementary data domains, stratifying by time, care setting, and provenance.MethodsQueries were distributed to 3 Data Partners (DP). Using harmonization queries, we examined the top 200 laboratory results and medications by volume, identifying outliers and computing summary statistics. The completeness queries looked at 4 conditions of interest and related clinical concepts. Counts were generated for each condition, stratified by year, encounter type, and provenance. We analyzed trends over time within and across DPs.ResultsWe found that the median number of codes associated with a given laboratory/medication name (and vice versa) generally met expectations, though there were DP‐specific issues that resulted in outliers. In addition, there were drastic differences in the percentage of patients with a given concept depending on provenance.ConclusionsThe harmonization queries surfaced several mapping errors, as well as issues with overly specific codes and records with “null” codes. The completeness queries demonstrated having access to multiple types of data provenance provides more robust results compared with any single provenance type. Harmonization errors between source data and reference terminologies may not be widespread but do exist within CDMs, affecting tens of thousands or even millions of records. Provenance information can help identify potential completeness issues with EHR data, but only if it is represented in the CDM and then populated by DPs.
