Understanding rural veterans: Toward a conceptual framework of service
Authors: Jordon Sarah , Alves Jason 
Published: June 2024

AbstractNumerous stereotypes of the veteran population miss the diverse backgrounds of veterans as a group, particularly that one quarter of known veterans are living in rural communities across the United States (VA, 2022). Despite the Federal focus on veteran rural health, there needs to be more literature available on veteran success in community colleges, particularly in rural‐serving community colleges. Also, it is important to know more about how veteran student success influences the communities in which they live. This manuscript includes a comprehensive literature review examining rural veterans in the United States, particularly in higher education, and develops a framework for community colleges to better understand the needs of their rural veteran populations. We conclude by offering several promising practices to effectively serve this diverse population.

Key points
Technical advancements in devices and the development of techniques to optimize valve implantation have been the cornerstone of improvement in outcomes of TAVR.
While device success and the rate of paravalvular leak have decreased over time, the rate of permanent pacemaker implantation following self‐expanding valve systems remains high.
Reduction in the rate of permanent pacemaker implantation compared to surgical aortic valve replacement remains a high priority.

Published: June 2024

Key Clinical MessageThe “gold standard” treatment for Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is radical cystectomy and different management approaches that combine chemotherapy and radiation in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting have been attempted with varying degrees of effectiveness. For certain individuals, partial cystectomy offers sufficient local control for muscle‐invasive bladder cancer. Lifelong follow‐up with cystoscopy is advised due to the possibility of potentially fatal late recurrence.AbstractSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder is a rare urologic malignancy that is estimated to affect 3%–5% of the bladder cases. SCC of the bladder remains the most common subtype throughout Africa. Most of the literatures focused on the management of Urothelial carcinoma (UC), with fewer discussions on SCC management. UC typically presents with painless hematuria, whereas SCC presents with painful hematuria, bladder mass, and necroturia. SCC is mostly radioresistant and does not respond to chemotherapy. The mainstay treatment is partial cystectomy or radical cystectomy, which can be performed through open surgery or laparoscopic or robot‐assisted approaches, all of which have acceptable results. We report a patient with a favorable outcome following partial cystectomy who was managed by open surgery. At the 12‐month follow‐up, the patient remained asymptomatic with good surgical outcomes.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe serious dendrite growth and H2O‐induced side reactions on the Zn electrode lead to a significant fading in the cycling performance, hindering the development of commercial applications of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, a novel bifunctional network coating of dynamically cross‐linking sodium alginate with trehalose has been rationally constructed on the Zn anode (Zn@AT). Firstly, the AT coating possesses abundant zinophilic oxygen‐containing functional groups, which are able to induce uniform Zn2+ ion flux. Secondly, the AT coating as a solid barrier can effectively inhibit H2O‐induced side reactions by lowering the activity of H2O molecules. More specially, based on the dynamic cross‐linking, AT network coating is endowed with self‐healing capacity during cycling for durable battery operation. Consequentially, Zn@AT anodes in symmetric cells can cycle stably for 2787 h at 2 mA cm−2/2 mAh cm−2, and even achieve a significantly long cycle performance of 1087 h at large charge/discharge depths of 10 mA cm−2/10 mAh cm−2. Moreover, the Zn@AT//MnO2 full cell shows excellent specific capacity of 175 mAh g−1 after 400 cycles. This study lights an effective strategy to enhance the durability of Zn electrodes in AZIBs.

Enhancing Targeted Drug Delivery through Cell‐Specific Endosomal Escape
Authors: Chen Pengwen , Cabral Horacio 
Published: June 2024

AbstractEndosome is a major barrier in the intracellular delivery of drugs, especially for biologics, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. After being endocytosed, these cargos will be trapped inside the endosomal compartments and finally degraded in the lysosomes. Thus, various strategies have been developed to facilitate the escape of cargos from the endosomes to improve the intracellular delivery efficiency. While the majority of the studies are focusing on strengthening the endosomal escape capability to maximize the delivery outcome, recent evidence suggests that a careful control of the endosomal escape process could provide opportunity for targeted drug delivery. In this concept review, we examined current delivery systems that can sense intra‐endosomal factors or external stimuli for controlling endosomal escape toward a targeted intracellular delivery of cargos. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of such strategies are discussed.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is one of the most promising modalities for cancer treatment due to its minimal invasiveness. Although two types of boron agents are clinically used, several issues persist in their delivery, including poor water solubility, instability in aqueous media, selectivity toward cancer cells, accumulation in cancer cells, retention time in tumor tissue, and efficiency in achieving the boron neutron capture reaction. Addressing these challenges, numerous groups have explored various boron agents to enhance the therapeutic benefits of BNCT. This review summarizes delivery platforms based on natural products for BNCT.

Published: June 2024

AbstractZebrafish is a useful model organism in neuroscience; however, its gene expression atlas in the adult brain is not well developed. In the present study, we examined the expression of 38 neuropeptides, comparing with GABAergic and glutamatergic neuron marker genes in the adult zebrafish brain by comprehensive in situ hybridization. The results are summarized as an expression atlas in 19 coronal planes of the forebrain. Furthermore, the scanned data of all brain sections were made publicly available in the Adult Zebrafish Brain Gene Expression Database (https://ssbd.riken.jp/azebex/). Based on these data, we performed detailed comparative neuroanatomical analyses of the hypothalamus and found that several regions previously described as one nucleus in the reference zebrafish brain atlas contain two or more subregions with significantly different neuropeptide/neurotransmitter expression profiles. Subsequently, we compared the expression data in zebrafish telencephalon and hypothalamus obtained in this study with those in mice, by performing a cluster analysis. As a result, several nuclei in zebrafish and mice were clustered in close vicinity. The present expression atlas, database, and anatomical findings will contribute to future neuroscience research using zebrafish.

Published: June 2024

AbstractCarbon‐based materials have been found to accelerate the sluggish kinetic reaction and are largely subject to the overall Zn‐air batteries (ZABs) property, while their full catalytic mechanism is still not excavated because of the indistinct internal structure and immature in‐situ technology. Up to now, systematic methods have been utilized to study and design promising high‐performance carbon‐based catalysts. To resolve the real active units and catalytic mechanism, developing molecular catalyst is a significant strategy. Herein, the review will initiate to briefly introduce the working principle and composition of ZABs. An important statement is correspondingly provided about the typical structure and catalytic mechanisms for the air cathode material. It also presents the tremendous endeavors on the catalytic performance and stability of carbon‐based material. Furthermore, combined with theoretical calculation, the self‐defined active sites are analyzed to understand the catalytic character, where the molecular catalyst is subsequently summarized and discussed through highlighting the unambiguous and controllable structure, in the hope of surfacing the optimum catalyst. Building on the fundamental understanding of carbon‐based and molecular catalysts, this review is expected to provide guidance and direction toward designing future mechanistic studies and ORR electrocatalysts.
Electrochemical Stability of MXenes in Water Based on Constant Potential AIMD Simulations
Authors: Wan Pifang , Chen Yuping , Tang Qing 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMXene has been recently explored as promising electrocatalytic materials to accelerate the electrocatalytic process for hydrogen evolution, but their dynamic stability under electrochemical conditions remains elusive. Here we performed first‐principle ab initio molecular dynamics calculations to reveal the electrochemical stability of Ti2CTx MXene in different aqueous environments. The results revealed the high vulnerability of the pure and vacancy‐defected Ti2CO2 MXene towards water attack, leading to surface oxidation of MXene under neutral electrochemical condition that formed adsorbed oxygen species to Ti and dissociated proton in solution. The surface oxidation of Ti2CO2 could be prevented in the acid condition or in the neutral condition under the negative potential. Differently, the fully F‐ or OH‐functionalized Ti2CF2 and Ti2C(OH)2 as well as the mixed functionalized Ti2C(O0.5OH0.5)2 and Ti2CO1.12F0.88 are highly stable under various electrochemical conditions, which can effectively prevent close contact between water and surface Ti atoms via electronic repulsion or steric hindrance. These findings provide atomic level understanding of the aqueous stability of MXene and provide useful strategies to prevent degradation and achieve highly stable MXenes.
The psychosocial experiences of internally displaced children due to armed conflict in the case of north east Ethiopia: Implications for intervention
Authors: Demsie Getnet Tesfaw 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe repercussions of internally induced armed conflict appear to vary for different groups of people. The physical and economic consequences of armed conflict have been investigated and documented by researchers. However, the psychosocial impact of IDPs on children has not yet been explored in detail. The main objective of this study was to investigate how internal displacement due to armed conflict affected the psychosocial well‐being of children in Southern Wollo, Ethiopia. A sample of 25 children was purposely selected and interviewed about their psychosocial experience following displacement because of armed conflict. Ten parents/caregivers were also selected purposely to describe the situation of internally displaced children. To explain the study, system and attachment theories were mainly employed. Using qualitative methods of analysis, each child's psychosocial experiences were documented, analyzed, and compared to capture the essence (theme) of the problem. From 35 transcripts and observation checklists, three emerging themes were developed and explained. The findings showed that there existed feelings of separation, lack of hope in schooling, psychological distress, loneliness, insecurity, and depression among children affected by displacement due to war. Children's exposure and witness of the horrifying situation during displacement traumatized and disturbed them a lot. Based on the results, it is possible to imply that government and nongovernment organizations that have a stake in children should design appropriate intervention mechanics to support children affected by internal displacement due to armed conflict.

Published: June 2024

AbstractDespite the significance of materiality, its implementation has been perceived as ambiguous, opaque, and heterogeneous. This study focuses on analyzing materiality reporting among companies that utilize GRI and are listed on the Spanish stock exchange between 2018 and 2021. First, it examines the disclosure of materiality analysis by introducing a materiality disclosure assessment index (MDA) and exploring its determinants. Additionally, it investigates the alignment of material topics with GRI Topic Standards, analyzing the cross‐cutting nature of material topics. Our results indicate that MDA reached slightly over half of its maximum value. We found evidence that MDA is positively associated with membership in the IBEX 35, as well as with five out of the seven industries comprising the stock index. Furthermore, the years of disclosure experience in two industries significantly influenced MDA. Companies considered 20% of material topics as cross‐cutting, while another 20% had no direct correspondence with GRI standards. This study builds upon previous empirical findings on GRI materiality disclosure and provides valuable insights for research, practice, and standard setting.
Social media attention and corporate greenwashing: Evidence from China
Authors: Ren Jieyu , Wu Peng , Hou Liya 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis study examines the effect of social media attention on corporate greenwashing using a sample of Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2011 to 2021. We find that social media attention increases corporate greenwashing, and the effect is more pronounced for firms with negative financial performance and those with violations, supporting the pressure hypothesis. Drawing on fraud triangle theory, which considers the interplay of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, we also find that the pressure effect is more pronounced for firms with higher CEO power, greater information asymmetry, as well as firms located in regions with a gambling culture and non‐state‐owned firms. This indicates that firms are more inclined to greenwash when they perceive an opportunity and can rationalize this behavior. Furthermore, our heterogeneity analyses demonstrate that the pressure effect is more significant for firms located in regions characterized by higher marketization, firms operating in non‐heavily polluting industries, and those that do not provide assured non‐financial reports. This study contributes to the literature on the role of social media and determinants of corporate greenwashing, providing important implications for firms' sustainable development.

AbstractSolid‐supported amines having low molecular weight branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) physically impregnated into porous solid supports are promising adsorbents for CO2 capture. Co‐impregnating short‐chain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) together with PEI alters the performance of the adsorbent, delivering improved amine efficiency (AE, mol CO2 sorbed/mol N) and faster CO2 uptake rates. To uncover the physical basis for this improved gas capture performance, we probe the distribution and mobility of the polymers in the pores via small angle neutron scattering (SANS), solid‐state NMR, and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation studies. SANS and MD simulations reveal that PEG displaces wall‐bound PEI, making amines more accessible for CO2 sorption. Solid‐state NMR and MD simulation suggest intercalation of PEG into PEI domains, separating PEI domains and reducing amine‐amine interactions, providing potential PEG‐rich and amine‐poor interfacial domains that bind CO2 weakly via physisorption while providing facile pathways for CO2 diffusion. Contrary to a prior literature hypothesis, no evidence is obtained for PEG facilitating PEI mobility in solid supports. Instead, the data suggest that PEG chains coordinate to PEI, forming larger bodies with reduced mobility compared to PEI alone. We also demonstrate promising CO2 uptake and desorption kinetics at varied temperatures, facilitated by favorable amine distribution.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe use of cervical collars in the management of acute cervical spine injuries has been part of standard practice in the trauma setting for decades, aimed at preventing secondary injuries.ObjectivesTo review the recent evidence challenging the routine use of cervical collars, addressing the limited scientific support, associated risks, and guidelines for their use.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing recent studies and guidelines from authoritative bodies such as the American Association for Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. The review focused on the efficacy, risks, and recommendations regarding cervical collar use in acute cervical spine injuries.ResultsRecent evidence questions the routine use of cervical collars, highlighting limited scientific support and several associated risks, including pressure ulcers and decreased venous return. Cervical collars may also be contraindicated in individuals with abnormal spinal structures, such as those with Ankylosing Spondylitis. The efficacy of cervical collars is debated, particularly concerning undiagnosed spinal fractures, where delayed diagnosis can result in permanent injuries. Despite these risks, cervical collars may be beneficial in low‐resource areas and when used effectively with early clearance post‐injury. Current guidelines recommend immobilizing patients suspected of cervical spine injury but stress the importance of proper evaluation of the need for immobilization. Recent guidelines advocate for spinal motion restriction over traditional immobilization, emphasizing the need for better risk assessment and implementation strategies.Conclusions/Clinical ImportanceRe‐evaluating the routine use of cervical collars is crucial due to potential risks and limited supporting evidence, with a focus on individualized assessment and adherence to updated guidelines favoring spinal motion restriction.
Accurate analytical evaluation of the generalized logarithmic and double Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein functions
Authors: Mamedov Bahtiyar A. , Özgül Duru 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe accurate definition and powerful evaluation modeling of the various generalized Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein functions remain a challenging problem in various areas of physics. In this study, we develop a general analytical technique for accurately calculating logarithmic and double Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein functions. The obtaining analytical formulae are established by considering the binomial expansion theorem. The obtained expressions are valid in chemical potential values between ‐∞ <μ <0 and have been designated as explicit form features, high precision, and less computing time. The calculation results are tabularly illustrated to show the consistency of the analytical relations analysis under the effect of parameters. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the results, they are potentially useful in applications to evaluate thermionic emission and astrophysics problems.
