Published: February 2025

AbstractAs the best‐performing materials for thermoelectric cooling, Bi2Te3‐based alloys have long attracted attention to optimizing the room‐temperature performance of Bi2Te3 for both power generation and refrigeration applications. This focus leads to less emphasis and fewer reports on the cooling capability below room temperature. Given that the optimal carrier concentration (nopt) for maximizing the cooling power is highly temperature dependent, roughly following the relationship nopt∝T3/2, lowering the carrier concentration is essential to improve the cooling capability at cryogenic temperatures. Taking p‐type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 as an example, careful control of doping in this work enables a reduction in carrier concentration to 1.7 × 1019 cm−3 from its optimum at 300 K of 3.4 × 1019 cm−3. This work successfully shifts the temperature at which the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) peaks down to 315 K, with an average zT as high as 0.8 from 180 to 300 K. Further pairing with commercial n‐type Bi2Te3‐alloys, the cooling device realizes a temperature drop as large as 68 K from 300 K and 24 K from 180 K, demonstrating the extended cooling capability of thermoelectric coolers at cryogenic temperatures.image
Challenge and Support: Scaffolding the Practicing Therapist in DP Supervision
Authors: Husby Vidar M. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWhile consensus on the importance of deliberate practice (DP) in psychotherapy increases, clarification of key elements in DP supervision is yet to be seen. An international collaboration between researchers, authors, supervisors, and therapists has proposed a method for DP supervision and created a training program for DP supervisors. This has led to a six‐step overview model for DP and the DP Supervisor Competency Rating Scale (Vaz, Rousmaniere and Husby, 2023). DP in the context of supervision has concrete steps and requires specific supervisor skills. This article illustrates these with a case study consisting of twelve sessions with a trained DP supervisor and a supervisee that is a seasoned clinical psychologist. Annotated session transcripts provide a step‐by‐step qualitative representation of the collaborative process in identifying client challenge, therapist deficit and actionable learning goals as well as the in‐session behavioral rehearsal. The article presents the DP‐supervision overall trajectory, as well as both supervisee's and supervisor's input on the process. It discusses the importance of integrating conceptual, conditional, and procedural knowledge in therapist development, and claims that the same is true for DP‐supervisor development. Finally, the need for empirical investigation of the proposed key elements in DP supervision is emphasized.

AbstractBACKGROUNDSodium alginate (SA)/carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) composite beads loaded with silver (Ag) and iron (Fe) bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag0–Fe0/g‐C3N4/SA) introduce a new approach in wastewater treatment. Ag0–Fe0 synergy is utilized to enhance reduction efficiency and ensure sustainable water purification. Composite beads of g‐C3N4/SA were prepared and then introduced to a bimetallic solution of Ag and Fe and reduced to their zero valent state (M0) by treating it with sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Ag0–Fe0/g‐C3N4/SA was further used for the catalytic reduction of harmful compounds from water.RESULTSX‐ray diffraction was used to analyze chemically synthesized composite beads. The high intensity of Ag peaks confirmed that the amount of loaded Ag was higher than Fe. Scanning electron microscopy showed the shape of Ag0–Fe0/g‐C3N4/SA and g‐C3N4/SA composite beads to be rough and granular. Atomic absorption spectroscopy confirmed that the composite beads exhibited higher adsorption capacity for Ag ions as compared to Fe ions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of OH, CN, CO, and CH functional groups in the sample. Catalytic reduction of Erichrome Black T (EBT), Methyl Orange (MO), Rhodamine B (Rh‐B), and Reactive Black 5 (RB‐5) was carried out using Ag0–Fe0/g‐C3N4/SA and g‐C3N4/SA as catalysts. Various parameters such as apparent rate constant (kapp), reduced concentration, percentage reduction, reduced time, and half‐life were also studied to analyze the catalytic activity of both catalysts.CONCLUSIONOverall, Ag0–Fe0/g‐C3N4/SA showed the highest percentage reduction of 73%, 93%, 94%, and 92% for EBT, MO, Rh‐B, and RB‐5, respectively, and was effectively used for water treatment. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTCapturing the evolving journey of workers' well‐being, our research unveils how the intertwined paths of job and life satisfaction shift and shape each other over time. We contribute to the field's understanding of the dynamic interplay between job and life satisfaction by exploring the time‐bound nature of satisfaction, teasing apart the between‐ and within‐person effects, and uncovering the relative strengths of these effects. Our findings (k = 28; N = 161 412) suggest that (1) job and life satisfaction are related to one another over time, (2) life satisfaction has a stronger effect (+32%) on future job satisfaction than the converse, (3) these effects peak around 17.2 months (between‐person effects), and (4) effects peak at shorter intervals of 8.2 months when accounting for unobserved heterogeneity (within‐person effects). In the latter case, the differences between the two effects were still significant, but the dominance of life satisfaction shrank from 32% to 8%. This investigation not only bridges critical gaps but also sets a new precedent for future research on the temporal dynamics of well‐being, promising to transform theoretical perspectives and practical approaches alike.
Comparison of Lateral Resolutions Obtained by Different Methods for Confocal Raman Microscopes
Authors: Itoh Nobuyasu 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTConfocal Raman microscopes are widely used in various applications because they provide physical and chemical information at a submicron scale. A high lateral resolution in the confocal Raman microscope is essential for obtaining high‐quality images. Although several methods have been proposed to evaluate the lateral resolution of Raman microscopes, it is unclear how comparable or different the evaluated results are depending on the methods and samples used. In this study, we examined the grating method using a chromium‐coated patterned three‐bar sample, the straight edge method using the edge of silicon and tungsten in NMIJ CRM 5207‐a, and the narrow line method using carbon nanotubes and fluorescent particles. The lateral resolution evaluated by the patterned three‐bar sample according to ISO 18516:2019 was ~0.7 μm and much worse than that obtained by the other methods (0.30 to 0.41 μm), which was mainly attributed to both the inherent property and structure of the patterned sample used in this study. Although the lateral resolution obtained by the other methods did not show a large difference, each method had advantages and disadvantages including the inherent properties and structures of the samples as well as optical effects. Thus, it is important to decide on the methods and samples depending on the purpose, and the selected methods and samples should include the results and measurement conditions.
On the spaces dual to combinatorial Banach spaces

Published: February 2025

AbstractWe present quasi‐Banach spaces which are closely related to the duals of combinatorial Banach spaces. More precisely, for a compact family of finite subsets of we define a quasi‐norm whose Banach envelope is the dual norm for the combinatorial space generated by . Such quasi‐norms seem to be much easier to handle than the dual norms and yet the quasi‐Banach spaces induced by them share many properties with the dual spaces. We show that the quasi‐Banach spaces induced by large families (in the sense of Lopez‐Abad and Todorcevic) are ‐saturated and do not have the Schur property. In particular, this holds for the Schreier families.
On linearization and uniqueness of preduals
Authors: Kruse Karsten 
Published: February 2025

AbstractWe study strong linearizations and the uniqueness of preduals of locally convex Hausdorff spaces of scalar‐valued functions. Strong linearizations are special preduals. A locally convex Hausdorff space of scalar‐valued functions on a nonempty set is said to admit a strong linearization if there are a locally convex Hausdorff space , a map , and a topological isomorphism such that for all . We give sufficient conditions that allow us to lift strong linearizations from the scalar‐valued to the vector‐valued case, covering many previous results on linearizations, and use them to characterize the bornological spaces with (strongly) unique predual in certain classes of locally convex Hausdorff spaces.
Revisiting the Relationship Between CEO Characteristics and Firm Internationalization: Evidence From a Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Cheng Cong , Lin Yawen , Dai Jian 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study leverages machine learning (ML) techniques to assess the impact of CEO characteristics on the international performance of firms. Analyzing data from Chinese listed companies between 2008 and 2021, this study evaluates 14 ML algorithms and identifies the random forest model as the most effective. Additionally, the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) algorithm is employed for result interpretation and visualization. The findings indicate that most CEO traits can predict a firm's international success. Notably, international experience, age, and CEO duality emerge as the top predictors. Specifically, both international experience and CEO duality positively influence performance, while the CEO's age exhibits a complex, non‐linear relationship with performance. This study provides a nuanced perspective on how CEO characteristics influence a firm's international success.

AbstractBackgroundDespite the World Health Organization's prioritization of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), its global diagnostic rate remains critically low, leading to inadequate treatment and control, thereby increasing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the comorbidity burden of FH in China and analyze the differences between familial and general hypercholesterolemia (HC) populations.MethodsUsing a national medical insurance database from 2013 to 2017 including 13,976 patients with FH and 13,976 matched control patients with HC, we utilized case‐control methods to compare the composition ratio, comorbidity rates, medical expenses, and healthcare burden of patients with FH to those of control patients.ResultsThe FH population had a higher comorbidity rate of more than one cardiometabolic disease (83.7% [11,697/13,976]) compared to the HC group (70.3% [9279/13,976]; χ² = 250.45, p < 0.0001). The rates of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes were higher in patients with FH (39.2% [5475/13,976], 71.0% [9925/13,976], 14.2% [1982/13,976], and 31.2% [4363/13,976], respectively) compared to those in the HC group (30.4% [4255/13,976], 61.4% [8587/13,976], 11.5% [1601/13,976], and 28.1% [3923/13,976], respectively; all p < 0.0001). In the 40−49 age group, patients with FH had a significantly higher average number of comorbidities compared to control patients with HC (1.2 vs. 0.9; t  = 15.67, p < 0.0001). Notably, the comorbidity count in patients with FH aged 40−49 years even exceeded that in patients with HC aged 50−59 years. Furthermore, the annual per capita medical cost for patients with FH was significantly higher at 5045.5 CNY compared to 4184.7 CNY for patients with HC (t = 12.54, p < 0.0001).ConclusionWith a large number of patients with dyslipidemia, the type and number of comorbidities significantly impact the healthcare burden. FH presents with earlier onset, more comorbidities, and heavier cardiovascular‐related medical burdens than HC. Early identification, intervention, and comprehensive management of comorbidities in the FH population are crucial for neuroprotection and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Authors: Durukan Melike , Akbıyık Ayşe , Kaya Selçuk , Aksun Murat 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine microbial colonization in indwelling urinary catheters (UCs) and identify patient‐specific risk factors associated with this colonization. This cross‐sectional study involved 61 hospitalized intensive care unit patients with indwelling UCs. Bacterial colonization and susceptibility were assessed in the indwelling UCs from the second day onwards following urinary catheterization. The average duration of catheterization was 13.62 ± 13.72 days. Colonization of 10⁵ CFU/mL and above was determined in all indwelling UCs from the second day of catheterization onwards. The catheter was colonized by the following microorganism species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. 47.9% of clinical isolates showed multi‐drug resistance (MDR). Clinical isolates did not show significant differences based on patient variables such as age, Body Mass Index, and duration of urinary catheterization (p > 0.05). There was a weak correlation (rs:≤ 0.206; p > 0.05) between the species of clinical isolates and patient laboratory variables. Colonization was determined in all indwelling UCs, with nearly half of isolates exhibiting MDR. These findings highlight the urgent need for improved strategies to manage and prevent catheter‐associated infections, particularly in high‐risk patient populations.

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONVincristine sulfate liposome injection (VSLI), a liposomal formulation of vincristine, may be better tolerated than standard aqueous vincristine and enable dose intensification.PROCEDURESBased on single‐agent tolerability, activity, and FDA approval in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we tested the safety and feasibility of VSLI as replacement for standard vincristine in the UK ALL R3 mitoxantrone‐based four‐drug induction (Cohort A), a three‐drug anthracycline‐free induction (Cohort B), and maintenance chemotherapy (Cohort C) in children and young adults with relapsed/refractory B‐cell ALL.RESULTSAmong 29 participants with a median age of 12.4 years (range: 1.8–19.6 years), 16 received Cohort A, eight received Cohort B, and five received Cohort C therapy. Dose level 1 (DL1): 1.5 mg/m2 and dose level 2 (DL2): 2 mg/m2 of VSLI, each without a dose cap, were tested. Collectively, the median VSLI dose administered was 1.9 mg (range: 0.71–4.06 mg), and 13 (44.8%) received a dose above the standard 2 mg vincristine dose cap. Dose‐limiting toxicities (DLTs) at DL2 were seen in three patients, two in Cohort A and one in Cohort B, prompting further evaluation at DL1 for both cohorts. No DLTs were experienced at DL1. Only DL2 was tested in Cohort C—without DLT. Complete remissions were seen in 14 of 16 (87.5%) participants in Cohort A; three of eight (37.5%) in Cohort B; and one (20%) in Cohort C. VSLI with combination chemotherapy at DL1 was generally well tolerated.CONCLUSIONBased on the promising response signal in this heavily pretreated population, further study of VSLI is warranted.

Published: February 2025

AbstractWith the wide application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), machining‐induced damage has received increasing attention. Due to the anisotropy of the fibers, the fiber fracture mode directly affects the performance of CFRP parts. Surface quality is closely related to the fiber fracture mode. This paper focuses on analyzing the fracture modes of CFRP fibers under ultrasonic‐assisted machining (UAM). By conducting conventional machining (CM) and UAM experiments, combining scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, the relationships between cutting forces, surface roughness, fiber orientation, and fracture modes are analyzed. Compared to CM, UAM reduced cutting forces by 22%–63%, surface quality was improved by 36%, fibers predominantly fractured in a shear mode, and the fiber orientation effect was reduced by 42.4%. As cutting speed increased, cutting forces were reduced by 29.2%; however, excessively high speeds resulted in increased surface roughness and a greater fiber orientation effect. Increased ultrasonic amplitude led to 31.8% increase in cutting forces, 59.5% improvement in surface quality, and 67.5% reduction in the fiber orientation effect. Decomposing Acoustic emission (AE) signals using wavelet packet. The frequency bands for bending fracture and shear fracture were found to be 75–200 kHz and 375–475 kHz respectively. Moreover, the energy distribution in these frequency bands under different machining methods was analyzed to judge the fiber fracture behavior of CFRP. This research provides data support for optimizing the precision machining process of CFRP and enriches the AE database on fiber fracture modes, contributing to the improvement of accuracy and efficiency in non‐destructive testing techniques.Highlights

Published: February 2025

AbstractAntibacterial fabrics have garnered significant attention due to bacterial infection‐related public safety problems. However, the challenge of creating textiles with efficient and durable antibacterial properties remains significant. In this study, an eco‐friendly calcination technique was applied to synthesize a nanostructured CuO@ZIF‐8 antibacterial agent. The resulting material exhibits both efficient and durable antibacterial performance. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used as the fiber matrix, and PET/CuO@ZIF‐8 fibers were produced using melt spinning technology. The results indicate that the antibacterial material is well dispersed within the PET matrix, which promotes crystallization during the cooling process. With a 99.9% maximum bactericidal rate against E. coli and S. aureus, the altered polyester fibers demonstrated strong antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the modified polyester fibers exhibited excellent wash resistance, maintaining antibacterial rates of 93.7% against S. aureus and 92.6% against E. coli after 50 washes. This work presents a fresh method for producing efficient and durable antibacterial polyester fibers.Highlights
