Published: July 2024

AbstractImplementing green mechanisms has been mandatory to save the environment and for greater organizational profitability, reputation, and eventually competitive advantage in the dynamic and open market. However, employees are the catalysts in implementing green mechanisms, which are diverse and sophisticated; thus, the implementation process includes numerous challenges that are not explored from managerial and nonmanagerial perspectives in the current literature. Drawing on resource‐based theory, this particular qualitative study explores the challenges faced by managerial and nonmanagerial employees working in the Malaysian automotive, electrical and electronics, and construction industries in implementing green human resource management (GHRM) practices. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained from 48 face‐to‐face semi‐structured interviews. Thematic analysis using NVivo 12 revealed 16 challenges that hinder the implementation of GHRM practices in Malaysian companies. We classified these challenges into three categories: high, moderate, and low. However, the main challenges were the lack of focus on the environment, difficulties in educating employees at different levels, a priority on progress/productivity neglecting the environment, the influence of external forces and the cost of going green. The study has discussed the implications of its findings for both theory and practice, followed by arguments on research limitations and future directions.
Trans and non‐binary person‐centred therapists' experiences of, and responses to, transprejudice from clients: A reflexive thematic analysis
Authors: Wright Megan , Murphy David 
Published: July 2024

AbstractAimsThis qualitative study aimed to explore what it is like for trans and non‐binary (TNB) person‐centred therapists to be exposed to transprejudice in their client work, and how they navigate such relationships. In so doing, the study aims to amplify TNB perspectives, encourage better allyship from cisgender colleagues, workplaces and professional bodies, and inform understandings of person‐centred theory and practice.MethodFive White, TNB, person‐centred therapists took part in non‐directive interviews. A reflexive thematic analysis was performed with a phenomenological and hermeneutical approach.FindingsTherapists perceived their encounters with transprejudice in client work to be infrequent or less intense than in other areas of their lives. Clients who expressed transprejudice were seen as situated in a transprejudiced context, which allowed the therapists to maintain unconditional positive regard and empathy. The therapists nonetheless reported an adverse effect on their well‐being, which required proactive support from peers.ImplicationsThis study demonstrates the need for cisgender colleagues of TNB therapists to be sensitive to the dynamics of transprejudice. Further research is necessary to elucidate the role of internalised transprejudice in shaping TNB therapists' understandings of their person‐centred practice. Further research is also required to account for the range of identities and backgrounds in the TNB community.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe intron retention (IR) is a phenomenon utilized by cells to allow diverse fates at the same mRNA, leading to a different pattern of synthesis of the same protein. In this study, we analyzed the modulation of phosphoinositide‐specific phospholipase C (PI‐PLC) enzymes by Harpagophytum procumbens extract (HPE) in synoviocytes from joins of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. In some samples, the PI‐PLC γ1 isoform mature mRNA showed the IR and, in these synoviocytes, the HPE treatment increased the phenomenon. Moreover, we highlighted that as a consequence of IR, a lower amount of PI‐PLC γ1 was produced. The decrease of PI‐PLC γ1 was associated with the decrease of metalloprotease‐3 (MMP‐3), and MMP‐13, and ADAMTS‐5 after HPE treatment. The altered expression of MMPs is a hallmark of the onset and progression of OA, thus substances able to decrease their expression are very desirable. The interesting outcomes of this study are that 35% of analyzed synovial tissues showed the IR phenomenon in the PI‐PLC γ1 mRNA and that the HPE treatment increased this phenomenon. For the first time, we found that the decrease of PI‐PLC γ1 protein in synoviocytes interferes with MMP production, thus affecting the pathways involved in the MMP expression. This finding was validated by the silencing of PI‐PLC γ1 in synoviocytes where the IR phenomenon was not present. Our results shed new light on the biochemical mechanisms involved in the degrading enzyme production in the joint of OA patients, suggesting a new therapeutic target and highlighting the importance of personalized medicine.

Published: July 2024

Key Clinical MessageRituximab‐induced serum sickness (RISS) is a rare complication of Rituximab (RTX) in immunobullous disorders. Clinicians should be aware of the occurrence of serum sickness symptoms during RTX administration, and prompt initiation of corticosteroid therapy is crucial in these patients. Additionally, RISS may occur with subsequent RTX doses and patients should be counseled accordingly.AbstractRituximab (RTX) is a chimeric monoclonal anti‐CD20 antibody which has gained approval for the treatment of various autoimmune and lymphoproliferative disorders. While RTX‐induced minor reactions, including immediate infusion‐related reactions, are common, serum sickness is rare. Limited data exist regarding rituximab‐induced serum sickness (RISS) in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). We report two cases of RISS following RTX administration in PV and MMP patients. Both patients presented with typical symptoms of serum sickness after RTX infusion, necessitating drug cessation and corticosteroid therapy for resolution. RISS represents a rare complication of RTX therapy. Clinicians should maintain awareness of serum sickness presentations during and post‐RTX administration.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe design of boron‐based molecular rotors stems from boron‐carbon binary clusters containing multiple planar hypercoordinate carbons (phCs, such as C2B8). However, the design of boron‐coordinated phCs is challenging due to boron's tendency to occupy hypercoordinate centers more than carbon. Although this challenge has been addressed, the designed clusters of interest have not exhibited dynamic fluxionality similar to that of the initial C2B8. To address this issue, we report a σ/π doubly aromatic CB2H5+ cluster, the first global minimum containing a boron‐coordinated planar tetracoordinate carbon atom with dynamic fluxionality. Dynamics simulations show that two ligand H atoms exhibit alternate rotation, resulting in an intriguing dynamic fluxionality in this cluster. Electronic structure analysis reveals the flexible bonding positions of the ligand H atoms because they do not participate in π delocalized bonding nor bond to any other non‐carbon atom, highlighting this rotational fluxionality. Unprecedentedly, the fluxional process involves not only the usual conversion of the number of bonding atoms, but also the type of bonding (3c π bonds ↔4c σ bonds), which is an uncommon fluxional mechanism. The cluster represents an effort to apply phC species to molecular machines.

Published: July 2024

AbstractDynamic covalent chemistry is a promising strategy for developing recyclable thermosets and their carbon fiber reinforced composites, in line with the goal of green and sustainable development. However, a significant challenge lies in balancing the dynamic reversibility and the desired service performances, such as thermal, mechanical properties, and flame retardancy. It has hindered the broader application of dynamic materials beyond the initial proof of concept. This concept provides an overview of the current state of research on phosphorus‐containing covalent adaptable networks (CANs), highlighting key designing and regulating principles for tailoring comprehensive properties including flame retardancy, mechanical and thermal properties, as well as dynamic behaviours such as malleability, reprocessability and degradability. Finally, new frontiers and opportunities in developing high‐performance sustainable CANs‐based thermosets and their carbon fiber composites for structural engineering applications are prospected.

Published: July 2024

AbstractOiling‐out is a common phenomenon in industrial crystallization processes that not only prolongs the total operating time but also leads to undesirable crystal morphology, making it challenging to control crystallization paths. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the oiling‐out phenomenon in organic small molecule crystallization. First, the formation mechanisms of oiling‐out are summarized from both thermodynamic and dynamic perspectives, providing the theoretical foundation for understanding the phenomenon. Then, the universal characterization methods for studying the oiling‐out phenomenon of organic small molecules are introduced in detail, covering both offline and online analytical tools. Moreover, the regulation strategy for oiling‐out, including solvents, impurities, seeding, temperature, and mixing methods are discussed. This paper also focuses on the application of oiling‐out in co‐assembly and crystal shape modulation. Finally, future opportunities and challenges are presented to address the current shortcomings and application bottlenecks in the study of organic small molecule oiling‐out phenomena. This review aims to provide valuable insights and guidance for researchers working on the crystallization of organic small molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, to better understand, control, and utilize the oiling‐out phenomenon.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesAfter the shutdown of most dental services during the COVID‐19 lockdown, the oral health community was concerned about an increase in prescribing opioids and antibiotics by dentists due to patients' limited access to dental offices. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on the pattern of antibiotic and opioid prescriptions by dentists in Alberta, Canada.MethodsData obtained from the Tracked Prescription Program were divided into antibiotics and opioids. Time periods were outlined as pre‐, during‐, and postlockdown (phase 1 and 2). For the number of prescriptions and average supply, each monthly average was compared to the corresponding prelockdown monthly average, using descriptive analysis. Time series analyses were conducted using regression analyses with an autoregressive error model. Data were trained and tested on monthly observations before lockdown and predicted for during‐ and postlockdown.ResultsA total of 1.1 million antibiotics and 400,000 opioids dispense were tracked. Decreases in the number of prescriptions during lockdown presented for antibiotics (n = 24,933 vs. 18,884) and opioids (n = 8892 vs. 6051). Average supplies (days) for the antibiotics (n = 7.10 vs. 7.55) and opioids (n = 3.92 vs. 4.05) were higher during the lockdown period. In the trend analyses, the monthly number of antibiotic and opioid prescriptions showed the same pattern and decreased during lockdown.ConclusionThe COVID‐19 pandemic altered the trends of prescribing antibiotics and opioids by dentists. The full impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on the population's oral health in light of changes in prescribing practices by dentists during and after lockdown warrants further investigation.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesThere is a growing evidence to suggest augmenting peri‐implant keratinized mucosa in the presence of ≤ 2 mm of keratinized mucosa. However, the most appropriate surgical technique and augmentation materials have yet to be defined. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analyses was to evaluate the clinical and patient‐reported outcomes of augmenting keratinized mucosa around implants using free gingival graft (FGG) versus xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) before commencing prosthetic implant treatment.Material and MethodsElectronic databases were searched to identify observational studies comparing implant sites augmented with FGG to those augmented with XCM. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool.ResultsSix studies with 174 participants were included in the present review. Of these, 87 participants had FGG, whereas the remaining participants had XCM. At 6 months, sites augmented with FGG were associated with less changes in the gained width of peri‐implant keratinized mucosa compared to those augmented with XCM (mean difference 1.06; 95% confidence interval −0.01 to 2.13; p = 0.05). The difference, however, was marginally significant. The difference between the two groups in changes in thickness of peri‐implant keratinized mucosa at 6 months was statistically significantly in favor of FGG. On the other hand, XCM had significantly shorter surgical time, lower postoperative pain score, and higher color match compared to FGG.ConclusionsWithin the limitation of this review, the augmentation of keratinized mucosa using FGG before the placement of the final prosthesis may have short‐term positive effects on soft tissue thickness. XCM might be considered in aesthetically demanding implant sites and where patient comfort or shorter surgical time is a priority. The evidence support, however, is of low to moderate certainty; therefore, further studies are needed to support the findings of the present review.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe use of nanoporous carbon for energy storage has seen a significant rise due to its exciting properties such as high surface area, hierarchical porosity and exceptional electrochemical properties. These unique advantages of exceptional surface and electrochemical properties of these porous carbon nanostructures can be coupled with the individual doping of heteroatoms such as S, N, O, and B for achieving high energy storage capacity and stability. Herein, we integrated the synthesis of carbon nitride (CN) and borocarbonitride (BCN) with solid state activation for introducing multiple heteroatoms (B, N, O, and S) onto the nanoporous carbon frameworks. The produced materials exhibit abundance of micro and mesoporosity, a high surface area of 2909 m2 g−1, and a pore volume of 0.87 cm3 g−1. Also, it offers an exceptional capacitance of 233.5 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 with 3 M KOH as electrolyte. Further, the optimised material was explored as cathode in zinc ion capacitor which delivers an energy and power density of 50.4 Wh kg−1 and 400 W kg−1 respectively in addition to high cyclability. Studies on the formation of the intermediate phases during charging/discharging of the cell through ex situ characterization result in some useful insights into the stability of ZIC.

Published: July 2024

AbstractIn the field of electrolyte design for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs), additives containing hydroxyl have been demonstrated to effectively modulate the solvation structure of Zn2+. However, reported studies typically focus solely on the effectiveness of hydroxyl while neglecting the issues that emerge during solvation structure regulation. The strong electron‐attracting capability of Zn2+ attracts electrons from the oxygen in hydroxyl, thereby weakening the strength of hydroxyl, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is also pronounced. This work innovatively reveals the limitation of hydroxyl‐containing additives and proposes a synergistic regulation strategy based on hybrid additives. Arginine with a high isoelectric point is introduced into the electrolyte system containing hydroxyl additives. The protonation effect and electrostatic attraction of arginine enable it to absorb protons at the anode released by the weakened hydroxyl, thereby compensating for the limitation of hydroxyl additives. Under the synergistic action of hybrid additives, the Zn|Zn battery achieved stable deposition/stripping for over 1200 hours under 10 mA cm−2 and 10 mAh cm−2. Moreover, the Zn|Cu battery cycled for over 570 hours with a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.82 %. This study presents a pioneering perspective for the further application of AZIBs.

The regressive surface of marine erosion generated by tides: A case study from a Pleistocene tidal sand ridge sequence, Calabria, Southern Italy
Authors: Longhitano Sergio G. , Miocic Johannes M. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe regressive surface of marine erosion is a key stratigraphic discontinuity used to identify episodes of forced regression in marine strata. Typically, it marks the base of shallow‐marine (e.g. shoreface and deltaic) deposits eroding over relatively deeper‐water (e.g. shelf and prodelta) lithofacies. While well‐documented in marginal‐marine areas, its occurrence in offshore or strait settings dominated by tidal currents is less understood. This study investigates lower Pleistocene outcrops in the Plio‐Quaternary Siderno Basin, Calabria, southern Italy, where tidal sand ridges developed in a Mediterranean strait. High‐resolution drone images reveal a basinward‐dipping basal surface marking the onset of tidally dominated sedimentation. This discontinuity separates underlying shelf fines from overlying cross‐stratified, tidal bioclastic/siliciclastic arenites, indicating a prolonged period of marine regression in a strait setting. The stratal architecture of the ridges shows cross‐strata aggradation in up‐dip sections, transitioning down‐dip into balanced aggrading/prograding strata, and further basinward into markedly prograding deposits. These features are interpreted to reflect an initial phase of normal regression, evolving into forced regression. This latter stage is characterised by a progressive deepening of the basal discontinuity, causing more erosional effects on the underlying beds, with a vertical basinward fall of about 60 m over 2 km. Internal foreset geometry (two‐dimensional vs. three‐dimensional cross strata) and their vertical and lateral repetition indicate stages of equilibrium and disequilibrium for tidal bedforms, reflecting varying current speeds and water depth changes. The regressive surface of marine erosion here is formed by tidal currents, rather than waves, suggesting a new type of sequence stratigraphic discontinuity associated with tide‐dominated settings.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivePrevention programs for eating disorders (EDs) and high body index mass (BMI) have the potential to reduce the onset of these interconnected public health concerns. However, it remains unclear whether routine implementation of such programs would be cost‐effective. This study aims to determine the cost‐effectiveness of an intervention that aims to prevent both ED and high BMI.MethodA Markov model was developed to evaluate the incremental cost‐effectiveness of a targeted school‐based program, Healthy Weight, that aims to prevent both EDs and high BMI among Australian adolescents with body image concerns (aged 15–18 years), versus a “no intervention” comparator. A cost‐utility analysis was conducted from a “healthcare and education” sector perspective with costs (measured in 2019 Australian dollars) and health impacts modeled over the lifetime of the target population. An incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio (ICER), expressed as cost per health‐adjusted life year (HALY) gained, was calculated. Sensitivity analyses were done to test model assumptions.ResultsThe mean intervention cost and HALYs gained were AUD$2.13 million (95% CI, AUD$1.83–2.43 million) and 146 (95% CI, 90–209), respectively. With healthcare cost‐savings (AUD$3.97 million) included, the intervention was predicted to be cost‐saving (AUD$1.83 million; 95% CI, AUD$0.51–3.21 million). Primary findings were robust to extensive sensitivity analyses.DiscussionThe Healthy Weight intervention is likely to represent good value‐for‐money. To ensure the successful implementation of this program at the population level, further research on its feasibility and acceptability among schools and the wider community is required.

AbstractStrawberry or red leopards are a rare colour morph of leopard (Panthera pardus) characterised by spot markings that are red or brown instead of black, thought to be a result of a mutation in the tyrosinase‐related protein (TYRP1) gene. We report the first record of this phenotype on the African continent outside of South Africa, from Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania. One female leopard with strawberry colouration was documented out of 373 individual leopards (0.3%) identified through camera trap surveys conducted from 2020 to 2022 over a combined area of more than 4600 km2 in the Nyerere‐Selous landscape.
