Going green to repair damaged self‐concept: The interplay of self‐deficit and benefit appeals on green consumer behavior
Authors: Kim Sujin 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis research is an empirical investigation of the interaction effect between self‐deficit and benefit‐appeal message framing upon subsequent environmental sustainability decision‐making. Based on the self‐discrepancy theory, the current research demonstrates that behavioral intentions that encourage environmental sustainability could serve as a means of compensating for the self‐deficit appraisal. Two online experiments empirically test that self‐deficit moderated the effect of benefit‐appeal (self vs. other) on ad evaluation and purchasing intention toward an environmentally sustainable brand. In particular, Study 1 demonstrated that when in a self‐deficit state, self‐benefit appeals are more effective than altruistic other‐benefit appeals in enhancing positive advertising evaluation and purchase intention toward a brand that advocates environmental sustainability. On the other hand, the opposite pattern was captured when self‐deficit was minimized. Study 2 replicated these findings using a different brand, confirming the interaction effect between self‐deficit and benefit appeal, and further investigated whether consumers' positive ad evaluation mediates the interaction effect of benefit appeals and self‐deficit on purchase intention. The findings also offer managerial implications recommending that advertisers and marketers tailor their ad messaging to match consumers' desires and wants.

Characterization of soda–lime silicate glass bottles to support recycling efforts
Authors: Gerace Katy S. , Mauro John C. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn 2022, 150 million tons of glass was produced globally, and approximately 47% of that amount was glass hollowware for tableware and food, beverage, and cosmetics packaging. Glass is considered one of the most recyclable materials as its properties and performance do not degrade upon reheating and reforming; yet only 21% of global production is recycled. The most recycled type of glass is soda–lime silicate bottle glass based on its widespread availability and its ability to accommodate higher levels of contamination compared to flat glass and specialty glass. Bottle glass manufacturers melt glass batch that is 10%–60% recycled glass cullet, limited only by the availability of pristine glass cullet that is free of contaminants such as plastic, metal, and organic material. Increasing rates of recycled content in glass manufacturing is stymied by the lack of a supply chain to deliver high quality glass cullet to manufacturers, as well as risk of material incompatibility and contamination. In this work, post‐consumer glass bottles of different colors, shapes, and brands were analyzed for chemical composition and thermal properties to quantify variation across five major color families: clear, blue, amber, forest green, and emerald green. This work shows that post‐consumer bottles of different colors and brands can be remelted without risk of material incompatibility and presents various processing methods to control color homogeneity in glass produced exclusively from mixed color cullet from recycled glass bottles.

Published: April 2024

Comprehensive SummaryThe rhodium‐catalyzed C—H bond activation and cyclization of 3‐oxopent‐4‐enenitriles with alkynes proceed efficiently. Various 2H‐pyrans with multiple substituents are achieved in good yields through regioselective formation of C—O and C—C bonds. Transformations involving hydroxy‐alkynoates resulted in products with a furo[3,4‐b]pyran skeleton via further intramolecular ester exchange processes. Different from the traditional “1‐oxatrienes pathway”, this method for the synthesis of useful 2H‐pyrans possesses certain highlights in terms of readily available substrates, stable and easily derivatized products, gentle and convenient operation process, and step and atom economy.

AbstractBackgroundRenal injury related to Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) occurs in approximately 3% of patients. Kidney biopsy is crucial to discriminate between distinct histopathological entities such as glomerular (amyloidotic and non‐amyloidotic), tubulo‐interstitial and non‐paraprotein mediated renal damage. In this context, disease characterization, management, relationship between renal, and hematological response have been poorly explored.We collected clinical, genetic and laboratory data of seven cases of biopsy‐proven renal involvement by WM managed at our academic center and focused on three cases we judged paradigmatic discussing their histopathological patterns, clinical features, and therapeutic options.CaseIn this illustrative case series, we confirm that serum creatinine levels and 24 h proteinuria are parameters that when altered should prompt the clinical suspicion of WM‐related renal involvement, even if at present there are not precise cut‐off levels recommending the execution of a renal biopsy. In our series AL Amyloidosis (n = 3/7) and tubulo‐interstitial infiltration by lymphoma cells (n = 3/7) were the two more represented entities. BTKi did not seem to improve renal function (Case 1), while bortezomib‐based regimens demonstrated a beneficial activity on the hematological and organ response, even when used as second‐line therapy after chemoimmunotherapy (Case 3) and also with coexistence of anti‐MAG neuropathy (Case 2). In case of poor response to bortezomib, standard chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), such as rituximab‐bendamustine, represents an effective option (Case 1, 6, and 7). In our series, CIT generates durable responses more frequently in cases with amyloidogenic renal damage (Case 1, 5, and 7).ConclusionIn this illustrative case series, we confirm that serum creatinine levels and 24 h proteinuria are parameters that when altered should prompt the clinical suspicion of WM‐related renal involvement, even if at present there are not precise cut‐off levels recommending the execution of a renal biopsy. Studies with higher numerosity are needed to better clarify the pathological and clinical features of renal involvement during WM and to determine the potential benefit of different therapeutic regimens according to the histopathological subtypes.
A novel swarm intelligence‐based fuzzy logic in efficient connectivity of vehicles
Authors: Kumaragurubaran Suganyadevi , Vijayakumar Nandalal 
Published: April 2024

SummaryA vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a wireless network composed of a collection of mobility devices that link via a wireless channel without the need for permanent infrastructure or centralized administration. Multicasting is a method of sending data from a single node to multiple recipients at the same time. Because of its energizing network topology and constricted resources, a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) presents a number of issues. Because network execution measurements such as latency, bandwidth, throughput, and energy fluctuate so rapidly owing to node movement, these network properties in a wireless mobile ad hoc network are ambiguous. Because of the influence of these uncertainty issues, determining the top‐grade path from the originating node to a set of recipient nodes is challenging. In order to preserve network resources, we used a Swarm Intelligence‐based fuzzy logic strategy in this study that includes channel caliber factor and connection termination time to try to alleviate these uncertainty issues. This strategy integrates all of the network indicators available for the routes into an individual quantity named as fuzzy cost or cost of communication. The routes with the lowest fuzzy cost will be regarded optimum, and data will be delivered along this route from the originating point to a set of receivers. The simulation was carried out using NS‐3.38 and MATLAB, and the results reveal that the suggested protocol, HACOFLM, outperforms ODMRP, OFAODV, MAODV, and DFMCRP by means of packet delivery ratio, latency, control packet overhead, and throughput. DFMCRP outperforms MAODV by 3% to 6%, OFAODV by 13% to 19%, and ODMRP by 16% to 23%. According to HACOSMO, based on the number of vehicles and velocities, routing overhead is 7% to 10% less than DFMCRP, 9% to 13% less than MAODV, 17% to 29% less than OFAODV, and 22% to 36% less than ODMRP. It improvise throughput by 4% to 6% when contrasted to DFMCRP, 5% to 9% when contrasted to MAODV, 10% to 14% when contrasted to OFAODV, and 14% to 23% when contrasted to ODMRP.

Published: April 2024

SummaryThis paper presents a compact (20 × 20 × 1.59 mm3), (0.34λg × 0.34λg × 0.01λg at 2.4 GHz) triple band monopole antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The geometry of the antenna consists of (i) U‐shape monopole with feed line, (ii) stubs, and (iii) modified ground to achieve three independent operating bands ranging from (i) 2.4–2.48 GHz for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM)/3G; (ii) 3.4–3.6 GHz for 4G/5G; and (iii) 5.725–5.825 GHz for 5.8G Wi‐Fi/extended 5G. Various parameters, input impedance, and current distribution of the proposed structure are carried out to investigate the effects of stub, ground plane and analyze the radiation. The measured result covers the three individual bands in range of 2.38–2.48 GHz, 3.41–3.61 GHz, and 5.76–6.04 GHz, respectively, and exhibits stable omnidirectional radiation patterns, acceptable antenna gain, and efficiency in the operating bands. The experimental result of the fabricated antenna closely matches with the simulated result. Therefore, satisfactory result ensures its ability to work for 3G/4G/5G/extended 5G IoT portable applications.
A fearful scourge to the penguin colonies: Southern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus) predation on living Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) may be more common than assumed

Published: April 2024

AbstractSouthern giant petrels (Macronectes giganteus) are important consumers that range across the oceans throughout the southern hemisphere. In Argentina, previous studies have shown they eat primarily pinnipeds and penguins, which they are assumed to scavenge, although there are occasional anecdotes of them attacking living penguins. Here we describe a predation attempt by a trio of southern giant petrels on a molting adult Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) at the large colony at Punta Tombo, Argentina. We relate giant petrel attendance patterns at the colony to the penguins' phenology, showing how giant petrel numbers rise with the increasing prevalence of vulnerable penguins. We suggest that living penguins—both fledglings and adults—may constitute a more seasonally significant proportion of the giant petrel diet than previously assumed, and their capture may represent a specialized predation technique.

AbstractThe cryptic and aquatic life histories of sea turtles have made them a challenging group to directly observe, leaving significant knowledge gaps regarding social behavior and fine‐scale elements of habitat use. Using a custom‐designed animal‐borne camera, we observed previously undocumented behaviors by green turtles (Chelonia mydas) at a foraging area in San Diego Bay, a highly urbanized ecosystem in California, USA. We deployed a suction‐cup‐attached pop‐off camera (manufactured by Customized Animal Tracking Solutions) on 11 turtles (mean straight carapace length = 84.0 ± 11.2 cm) for between 1 and 30.8 h. Video recordings, limited to sunlit hours, provided 73 h of total observation time between May 2022 and June 2023. We observed 32 conspecific interactions; we classified 18 as active, entailing clear social behaviors, as compared with 14 passive interactions representing brief, chance encounters. There was no evidence for agonistic interactions. The camera additionally revealed that green turtles consistently use metal structures within urban San Diego Bay. In seven instances, turtles exhibited rubbing behavior against metal structures, and we observed two examples of turtles congregating at these structures. High rates of intraspecific interaction exhibited relatively consistently among individuals provide a compelling case for sociality for green turtles in San Diego Bay, adding to a growing research base updating their historical label of “non‐social.” The frequent use of metal structures by the population, in particular the rubbing of exposed skin, has implications for behavioral adaptations to urban environments. Our study exemplifies the promise of technological advances (e.g., underwater and animal‐borne cameras) for updating natural history paradigms, even for well‐studied populations.

Published: April 2024

AbstractGlobal warming has raised concerns regarding the potential impact on aquatic biosafety and health. To illuminate the adaptive mechanisms of bdelloid rotifers in response to global warming, the ecological and transcriptomic characteristics of two strains (HX and ZJ) of Rotaria rotatoria were investigated at 25°C and 35°C. Our results showed an obvious genetic divergence between the two geographic populations. Thermal stress significantly reduced the average lifespan of R. rotatoria in both strains, but increased the offspring production in the ZJ strain. Furthermore, the expression levels of genes Hsp70 were significantly upregulated in the HX strain, while GSTo1 and Cu/Zn‐SOD were on the contrary. In the ZJ strain, the expression levels of genes Hsp70, CAT2, and GSTo1 were upregulated under thermal stress. Conversely, a significant decrease in the expression level of the Mn‐SOD gene was observed in the ZJ strain under thermal stress. Transcriptomic profiling analysis revealed a total of 105 and 5288 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the HX and ZJ strains under thermal stress, respectively. The PCA results showed clear differences in gene expression pattern between HX and ZJ strains under thermal stress. Interestingly, compared to the HX strain, numerous downregulated DEGs in the ZJ strain were enriched into pathways related to metabolism under thermal stress, suggesting that rotifers from the ZJ strain prioritize resource allocation to reproduction by suppressing costly metabolic processes. This finding is consistent with the life table results. This study provides new insights into the adaptive evolution of aquatic animals in the context of global climate change.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACTAimsThe once‐weekly insulin icodec, a new basal insulin analog, may positively support a reduction in injection frequency and improve adherence to therapy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of insulin icodec compared with those of once‐daily glargine U100.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception till September 2023. Data about clinical outcomes in both groups were extracted. Forest plots were generated using the random‐effects model by pooling odds ratios (ORs) and mean differences (MDs).ResultsFive randomised controlled trials and 2019 individuals with T2DM were included. In the pooled analysis, time in range was significantly higher (MD = 4.35; 95% CI: 1.65 to 7.05; p = 0.002) in the icodec group than in the once‐daily glargine group. The HbA1c levels were significantly reduced (MD = −0.13; 95% CI: −0.24 to −0.03; p = 0.02) in the weekly icodec group compared with those in the once‐daily glargine group. The weight gain was significantly less in the glargine group than in the weekly icodec group (MD = 0.41; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.78; p = 0.03); however, in the subgroup analysis, this change became statistically insignificant in both insulin‐naïve and previously insulin‐treated individuals. The results were comparable across two groups for fasting plasma glucose levels, hypoglycaemia alert (Level 1), clinically significant (Level 2) or severe hypoglycaemia (Level 3), and adverse events.ConclusionInsulin icodec was associated with a reduction in glycated haemoglobin levels and higher time in range, with a similar safety profile as compared to insulin glargine U100. However, further evidence is still needed to reach a definitive conclusion.
Exercise‐induced changes in central sensitization outcomes in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveTemporal summation of pain (TSP) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) are the two most commonly used clinical measures of central sensitization (CS). However, the effectiveness of exercise on TSP and CPM has yet to be evaluated. This review aims to investigate the effect of exercise alone on CS outcomes in individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain.Databases and Data TreatmentThis is a systematic review and meta‐analysis. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro and Cochrane databases were searched. Data were extracted based on the exercise modality and grouped into aerobic, resistance, isometric, or motor control modalities. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB2, RoB2 for crossover trials and ROBINS‐I tools. Quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE. Random‐effects meta‐analyses were conducted, with subgroup analysis conducted for each exercise modality.ResultsThe meta‐analyses included thirteen studies, consisting of eight non‐randomized studies, three randomized controlled trials and three randomized crossover trials. Data were categorized into four subgroups for analyses based on exercise modality. No statistically significant effect existed for both TSP and conditioned pain modulation. However, motor control exercise was found to have a significant enhancing effect on conditioned pain modulation. No significant differences were found between the exercise subgroup for both TSP and conditioned pain modulation.ConclusionsWe did not find an overall effect of physical exercise on TSP and CPM. However, subgroup analysis shows favourable effects of motor control exercise in individuals with chronic neck pain. Future research should focus on exercise modality and dosage and their role in the mechanism involved in TSP and CPM in predefined populations.Significance StatementResults from this study found that motor control exercise has a significant enhancing effect on conditioned pain modulation, with subgroup analysis showing favourable effects of motor control exercise in individuals with chronic neck pain. This indicates that physical exercise may have a positive effect on central sensitisation in individual with chronic neck pain. However, differential effects may exist between different types of exercise. These findings will inform understanding of neurobiological effects underlying chronic neck pain and may guide the development of more effective, personalised treatments.
Changing perceptions of people wearing masks: Two years of living in a pandemic
Authors: Fang Xia , Kawakami Kerry 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDespite the widespread use of face masks to combat COVID‐19, little is known about their immediate and delayed social consequences. To understand short‐ and long‐term effects of face masks on interpersonal perception, we measured the evaluation of faces with and without masks at four time points—June 2020, January 2021, September 2021 and June 2022—from the early months of the pandemic in North America to the more recent, and from the implementation of mask mandates to the end of these requirements. Surprisingly, we found that, in general, faces with masks were perceived as more competent, warm, trustworthy, considerate and attractive, but less dominant and anxious than faces without masks. Moreover, differences in attributions of dominance, trustworthiness and warmth between faces with and without masks increased in a linear trend from June 2020 to June 2022. Notably, the impact of masks on perceptions of competence, considerateness, attractiveness and anxiousness did not change over time. We discuss how mask mandates can alter people's social perceptions of others who wear masks compared to those who do not wear masks and how these mandates may influence attributions of some traits more than others through mere exposure and/or social norms.

Published: April 2024

AbstractPretreated lignocellulosic residues are suitable substrates for cellulases production by filamentous fungi. In the current work, plantain rachis was pretreated with sequential acid and alkali and then used as the main carbon source for cellulases production. First, a full 23 factorial design and response surface methodology (RSM), based on central composite rotatable design (CCRD), were carried out to cellulases production media optimization from plantain rachis by Penicillium oxalicum. The cellulases production was evaluated in flasks and bioreactor scale; in parallel, the addition of possible cellulases inductors was evaluated in flasks: molasses, beer bran, oat bran, and wheat bran. Results from statistical analyses with a level of confidence of 95% demonstrated that the concentration of ammonium sulfate must be kept at 1.625 g/L. The optimum urea and yeast extract concentrations were 0.560 g/L and 0.250 g/L, respectively. Cellulases volumetric productivities were higher in instrumented bioreactor than in flasks: 78.03% for exoglucanase, 10.87% for endoglucanase, 1.58% for β‐glucosidase, and 44.36% for FPU. Therefore, P. oxalicum was able to produce cellulases from plantain rachis in flasks and bioreactor, and molasses was the additional inductor that presented an increment in cellulases activities: endoglucanase 15%, exoglucanase 81%, and β‐glucosidase 55%.
