AbstractBackgroundAtomoxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder, may lead to severe complications, notably cardiac issues, upon overdose. We present a unique case of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) rescue for atomoxetine‐induced cardiogenic shock.Case PresentationWe report a 30‐year‐old man who, after ingesting a significant overdose of atomoxetine, experienced seizures and severe cardiogenic shock, necessitating VA‐ECMO for resuscitation. While prior reports have noted cardiovascular complications like QTc prolongation and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following atomoxetine overdose, this case is notable for its life‐threatening circulatory failure, which required ECMO intervention. Swift recognition coupled with VA‐ECMO initiation, endoscopic medication removal, intravenous lipid emulsion, and activated charcoal may have played a pivotal role in stabilizing the patient and facilitating recovery.ConclusionHealthcare practitioners should recognize the severe cardiac complications of atomoxetine overdose. Careful monitoring with ECG and echocardiography, along with providing intensive care, is crucial in managing critical cases.

AbstractBackgroundVascular Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome has a high mortality rate due to hemorrhagic complications.Case PresentationWe report a case of vascular‐type Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome diagnosed due to rupture of multiple celiac aneurysms. The patient was a 25‐year‐old Japanese man with a history of a sigmoid perforation. He was admitted to a nearby hospital because of abdominal pain. On day 9 of hospitalization, the patient experienced shock. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a hepatic aneurysm and intra‐abdominal bleeding, and the patient was transferred to our hospital. Emergency abdominal angiography revealed multiple aneurysms in the celiac, common, and right hepatic arteries. The right hepatic artery was considered responsible and was embolized. The patient had characteristic physical findings of the syndrome, aiding in confirming the genetic analysis of COL3A1 gene abnormality.ConclusionJuvenile‐onset colonic perforation and rupture of the celiac arteries are key findings in the suspicion of vascular‐type Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome.

Abstract30 Sekunden zum Erfolg! – Die Wittig‐Reaktion, eine grundlegende und weit verbreitete Reaktion in der organischen Synthesechemie, ermöglicht die effiziente Umwandlung von Carbonylverbindungen zu den entsprechenden Olefinen unter Verwendung von Phosphoniumsalzen. Traditionell ist ein sorgfältiger Reaktionsaufbau, einschließlich der vorangestellten Bildung einer reaktiven Ylid‐Spezies durch Deprotonierung eines Phosphoniumsalzes, entscheidend, um hohe Ausbeuten unter klassischen, lösungsmittelbasierten Bedingungen zu erzielen. In diesem Bericht stellen wir ein noch nie dagewesenes Protokoll für eine ultraschnelle mechanisch induzierte Wittig‐Reaktion unter lösungsmittelfreien Bedingungen vor, welches eine mühsame initiale Ylid‐Bildung unter striktem Luft‐ und Feuchtigkeitsausschluss oft überflüssig macht. Eine Reihe von Aldehyden und Ketonen wurde mit verschiedenen Phosphoniumsalzen mittels hochenergetischem Kugelmahlen umgesetzt, wobei die entsprechenden Olefine häufig in nur 30 Sekunden zugänglich waren.

AbstractAqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for the next‐generation large‐scale energy storage. However, the Zn anode remains facing challenges. Here, we report a cyclodextrin polymer (P‐CD) to construct quasi‐single ion conductor for coating and protecting Zn anodes. The P‐CD coating layer inhibited the corrosion of Zn anode and prevented the side reaction of metal anodes. More important is that the cyclodextrin units enabled the trapping of anions through host–guest interactions and hydrogen bonds, forming a quasi‐single ion conductor that elevated the Zn ion transference number (from 0.31 to 0.68), suppressed the formation of space charge regions and hence stabilized the plating/striping of Zn ions. As a result, the Zn//Zn symmetric cells coated with P‐CD achieved a 70.6 times improvement in cycle life at high current densities of 10 mA cm−2 with 10 mAh cm−2. Importantly, the Zn//K1.1V3O8 (KVO) full‐cells with high mass loading of cathode materials and low N/P ratio of 1.46 reached the capacity retention of 94.5 % after 1000 cycles at 10 A g−1; while the cell without coating failed only after 230 cycles. These results provide novel perspective into the control of solid‐electrolyte interfaces for stabilizing Zn anode and offer a practical strategy to improve AZIBs.

AbstractThe electrochemical hydrogenation (e‐hydrogenation) of unsaturated compounds like imines or carbonyls presents a benign reduction method. It enables direct use of electrons as reducing agent, water as proton source, while bypassing the need for elevated temperatures or pressures. In this contribution, we discuss the active species in electrocatalytic reductive amination with the transformation of acetone and methylamine as model reaction. Surprisingly, lead impurities in the ppm‐range proved to possess a significant effect in e‐hydrogenation. Accordingly, the influence of applied potential and cathode material in presence of 1 ppm Pb was investigated. Finally, we transferred the insights to the reduction of acetone manifesting comparable observations as for imine reduction. The results suggest that previous studies on electrochemical reduction in the presence of lead electrodes should be re‐evaluated.

ABSTRACTThe micro‐morphology of photocatalytic materials has a great influence on their photocatalytic performance. Quantum dots can provide the plasmon resonance effect and broaden the wavelength range of light absorption. In this study, a kind of 3D spherical flower‐like structure was constructed by self‐assembly of 2D nanosheets, the Bi2S3 particles with 5 ± 1 nm diameter were modified on the surfaces of Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets to prepare the Bi2S3/Bi2O2CO3 composite. The energy level difference (0.45 eV) between the conduction bands (CB) of Bi2S3 and Bi2O2CO3 led to which the e− was transferred to CB of Bi2O2CO3. The energy level difference (0.83 eV) between the CB of Bi2O2CO3 and the valence band (VB) of Bi2S3 was much smaller than the band gap (1.28 eV) of Bi2S3, and it led to which the electrons on the CB of Bi2O2CO3 were recombined with the holes on the VB of Bi2S3. A kind of innovative type heterojunction was constructed between Bi2S3 and Bi2O2CO3, which encouraged the photogenerated h+ and ·OH to be located on the VB of Bi2O2CO3 with the strongest oxidation potential, the prepared material showed excellent performance for the photodegradation of RhB, and the active groups were also controlled in the photocatalysis process.

ABSTRACTThe development of hydrogenation processes for polyalphaolefin (PAO) lubricants, which hold commercialization potential, is a challenging endeavor. Here, we synthesized and characterized rod‐shaped γ‐alumina supported Pd catalyst for PAO hydrofinishing, comparing it with γ‐alumina supported Ni catalyst. Results indicated that Pd/Al2O3 catalyst efficiently promoted PAO hydrofinishing, whereas Ni‐based catalyst exhibited lower activity. Optimization of reaction variables using the one‐factor‐at‐a‐time method revealed that hydrogenated polyalphaolefin could be achieved with a 90% yield using a 5 wt.% catalyst, a hydrogen pressure of 12 bar, at 130°C after 7 h. The superior performance of the fabricated catalysts, coupled with the use of rod‐shaped alumina suitable for large‐scale hydrogenation reactors, suggests the versatility of the process for potential commercialization. Additionally, the higher performance of Pd/alumina compared to Ni/alumina catalyst was computationally assessed at the molecular level using DFT methods.

AbstractPoly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is widely used for its high strength‐to‐weight ratio, gas barrier properties, and chemical resistance. The growing PET use highlights the demand for a better recycling system. Enzymatic recycling, alongside mechanical and chemical methods, is eco‐friendly and yields properties similar to virgin PET. Substrate properties (Tg, crystallinity, and specific surface area [SSA]) and enzyme stability significantly impact conversion efficiency. Higher SSA and lower crystallinity tend to yield improved depolymerization when employing leaf compost‐cutinase (LCC‐ICCG) enzymes. This study explored melt extrusion and foaming as pretreatment techniques to modify PET structural properties, using a low‐cost chemical foaming agent (CFA). The monomer conversion rate and efficiency during depolymerization were measured and related to the processing, extrudate micro‐ and meso‐structure, and polyester type. Pretreated PET substrates showed reduced Tg, crystallinity, density, and enhanced SSA, resulting in a 90% mass loss for foamed RPET and VPET substrates within 2 days. In contrast, PET with ~30% of cyclohexanedimethanol comonomer exhibited a nearly 50% lower depolymerization rate, with zero BHET production. It indicates that the combination of low crystallinity, low Tg, and high SSA leads to improved monomer conversion. These findings emphasize the significance of amorphization and foaming in enhancing PET enzymatic depolymerization.
Robot‐assisted crack detection on complex shaped components using constant‐speed scanning infrared thermography with laser line excitation

Published: August 2024

AbstractInfrared thermography (IRT) using a focused laser is effective for surface defect detection. Nevertheless, testing complex‐shaped components remains a challenging task. The state‐of‐the‐art focuses on testing a limited region of interest rather than the full sample. Thus, detection and location of surface defects has been less researched. Most attempts require a manual scan of the full sample, which makes it hard to reconstruct the full scanned surface. Here, we introduce a reliable workflow for crack detection and semi‐automated inspection of complex‐shaped components using IRT excited with a laser line. A 6‐axis robot arm is used for moving the sample in front of the setup. This approach has been tested on a section of a rail and a gear, both containing defects due to heavy use. Crack detection is based on the segmentation of thermograms obtained by Fourier transform of sorted temperatures. Moreover, texture mapping is used to visualize a reconstructed thermogram on the 3D model of the sample. Our approach illustrates a reliable process towards the digitalization of thermographic testing.

ABSTRACT

Rivers and other freshwater ecosystems have been severely changed by humans. This resulted in a distinct decline in the abundance of many aquatic organisms, as well as those living in water‐dependent habitats. Our work aimed to study the habitat selection of breeding common sandpipers (Actitis hypoleucos) and the impact of river regulation on the occurrence of this species.

Data were collected on a 100‐km stretch of the Vistula River, a semi‐natural, lowland and large European river. The distribution of birds was determined based on two censuses, while environmental variables were collected based on Sentinel‐2 satellite imagery classification, digital elevation model (DEM), digital surface model (DSM) and official data of river regulations.

The length of the shoreline of either the river or vegetated islands had a positive effect on the number of breeding territories of the common sandpiper. This indicates the importance of the presence of a natural riverbed with a complex shoreline. Moreover, sandpipers preferred islands over the river shores as nesting habitat. River regulations, such as groynes and riprap, had a negative impact on the abundance of breeding common sandpipers even though the river regulation was not intensive. The negative effect has been persisting for many years after the regulation was implemented, despite the degradation of regulatory structures over this period.

AbstractCognitive markers may in theory be more sensitive to the effects of intervention than overt behavioral measures. The current study tests the impact of the Intervention with the British Autism Study of Infant Siblings—Video Interaction for Promoting Positive Parenting (iBASIS‐VIPP) on an eye‐tracking measure of social attention: dwell time to the referred object in a gaze following task. The original two‐site, two‐arm, assessor‐blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) of this intervention to increase parental awareness, and responsiveness to their infant, was run with infants who have an elevated familial likelihood for autism (EL). Fifty‐four EL infants (28 iBASIS‐VIPP intervention, 26 no intervention) were enrolled, and the intervention took place between 9 months (baseline) and 15 months (endpoint), with gaze following behavior measured at 15 months. Secondary intention to treat (ITT) analysis showed that the intervention was associated with significantly reduced dwell time to the referent of another person's gaze (β = −0.32, SE = 0.14, p = 0.03) at 15‐month treatment endpoint. Given the established link between gaze following and language, the results are considered in the context of a previously reported, non‐significant and transient trend toward lower language scores at the treatment endpoint (Green et al. (2015) The Lancet Psychiatry, 2(2), 133–140). Future intervention trials should aim to include experimental cognitive measures, alongside behavioral measures, to investigate mechanisms associated with intervention effects.

AbstractThis study investigates the synergistic effects of circular economy (CE) practices, Industry 4.0 technology, and green human resource management (HRM) practices on sustainability and performance in Indian companies. CE focuses on resource efficiency, waste minimization, and material recyclability. Industry 4.0 incorporates modern digital technologies into manufacturing, resulting in smart factories that are more efficient and flexible. Green HRM practices include implementing human resource rules that promote environmental sustainability. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) on data from 213 respondents across various Indian firms, our research reveals several novel insights, such as CE practices significantly enhancing sustainability, demonstrating their critical role in minimizing waste and improving resource management; moderating the role of Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0 technology moderates the relationship between CE practices and sustainability, and green HRM practices positively affect CE practices and sustainable performance. Moreover, the study's uniqueness stems from its comprehensive approach, which reveals that combining these three elements CE practices, Industry 4.0 technology, and green HRM creates a powerful synergy that significantly improves both sustainability efforts and overall company performance, providing actionable insights for business looking to implement more effective and integrated sustainability strategies. These findings offer a valuable roadmap for companies aiming to achieve more impactful and cohesive sustainability initiatives.
Circular business model innovation and cognitive framing: Addressing the “missing micro”
Authors: Matoh Suzana , Russell Sally V. , Roelich Katy , Randles Sally 
Published: August 2024

AbstractCircular business model innovation is an important driver for the implementation of circular economy across industries and has become one of the central research debates in recent years. However, while macro‐, meso‐, and organizational level factors influencing circular business model innovation have attracted vast research interest, less is known about micro‐, individual level factors. The question driving this paper is how do individuals' cognitive frames of sustainability influence their conceptualization of new circular business models? We argue that the notion of cognitive frames can help to address the problem of how individuals respond to new concepts with which they are unfamiliar, such as circular business models. The study is based on a multi‐stakeholder project Alpha (anonymized), which involved circular business model innovation for resource recovery from waste. Findings suggest that cognitive frames are of primary importance for sensemaking of circular business models and can influence sustainability aspects considered for value creation, value delivery, and value capture.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe current study aims to investigate the relationships between sustainability and the textile–clothing–leather–footwear (TCLF) industries in four countries, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The quantitative approach involved using the linear regression model for data from 2010 to 2020 related to three independent variables of TCLF configurations and six dependent variables of sustainability. Our findings show significant positive relationships between the trade balance values of agricultural raw materials (TB of ARM), footwear (TB of FOOT), and textiles and clothing (TB of TEXT), which were recognized as the key variables of the TCLF industries with overall sustainability and an emerging circular economy in the study areas. Among the four countries, the strongest correlations between TCLF industries and sustainability belonged to Italy. The novelty of this research lies in identifying the relevant variables from the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) and Eurostat databases to evaluate the TCLF industries–sustainability relationships at the country level.
Does a weekly ward‐based interpersonal therapy group reduce psychological distress for women in an acute psychiatric inpatient hospital? A service evaluation
Authors: Staite Emily , Francine Farah 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundThere is a limited amount of research assessing the effectiveness of group therapy on acute inpatient psychiatric wards, and mixed results from research assessing inpatient psychological therapies in general. Previous studies highlight challenges for conducting research on psychiatric inpatient hospitals, such as short admissions, high patient turnover, engagement challenges, acuteness of illness, overmedication and feelings of stigma and disempowerment.AimsThis service evaluation aims to assess whether weekly ward‐based interpersonal group therapy reduces short‐term psychological distress for women on an acute psychiatric inpatient ward in inner‐city London (Tower Hamlets), UK.MethodsThis service evaluation compared psychological distress, as measured by the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation 10 (CORE‐10), pre‐ and post‐intervention for women attending a weekly ward‐based interpersonal therapy group between February 2023 and August 2023.ResultsThere were 46 participants included in the analysis. There was an 11.3% decrease in the mean CORE‐10 score post‐intervention. Four (9%) patients exhibited significant and reliable change (i.e. short‐term psychological distress reduced to a ‘healthy’ level). A further three (7%) patients exhibited no significant change. Short‐term psychological distress did not significantly deteriorate for any patients who attended the ward‐based interpersonal therapy group.ConclusionIt is feasible to collect pre‐ and post‐outcome data to assess psychological distress following a weekly ward‐based interpersonal therapy group over a 6‐month period, which meet acceptable a priori sample size calculations. The group appears to have an immediate positive impact for the majority (95%) of patients where short‐term psychological distress reduced or stayed the same; however, this was only significant for 16% of patients. It would be important to collect qualitative data, ideally using multiple methods or data sources for triangulation, in order to corroborate and strengthen the current findings. Practitioners cannot rely solely on the results of this study to demonstrate effectiveness of psychotherapeutic group interventions in acute inpatient settings.
