Published: February 2024

AbstractQuasi‐2D (q‐2D) perovskites are extensively studied due to their hybrid properties of 3D and 2D phases and have proven to be applied to a wide range of optoelectronics. Multiple device engineering methods for perovskite photodetectors are developed. However, the treatment of self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) is rarely discussed. Herein, a series of silane‐coupling agents of (3‐chloropropyl)trichlorosilane (CPTS), phenyltrichlorosilane, and (3‐aminopropyl)triethoxysilane is adopted as SAM materials and elucidated their influence on q‐2D/3D CsPbBr3 films and their photodetector performance. The optical properties and morphology results reveal that perovskite film on CPTS‐modified surface can prolong excitons’ lifetime, produce a larger grain size and better size distribution, while also present better crystallinity and united orientation. As for the fabricated photodetectors, the device on a CPTS‐modified surface has the highest photocurrent of 5.46 × 10−8 A, a responsivity of 0.16 A W−1, and an 18‐times‐higher specific detectivity than the pristine counterpart, which comes from the higher surface energy and favorable energy level alignment. The photodetector on the CPTS‐modified surface also shows better stability than that on the pristine surface. This study pioneers by using SAMs on q‐2D perovskite photodetectors and provides a facile route of device fabrication for perovskite photodetectors.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe uniform mixing of particles is crucial in many industrial applications. In industries, most granular materials are nonspherical, with ellipsoids being a common deviation from the sphere. The study employs the DEM model to investigate the mixing of a binary mixture in a vibrated packed bed with fixed amplitude and frequency. The study explores the behavior of the binary mixture of coarse and fine particles, with one particle being ellipsoid of aspect ratios (0.25–3.0) and the other being a sphere. The subdomain mixing index quantifies the mixing. The mixing of binary mixtures is determined by the aspect ratio of coarse and fine particles. The mixing efficiency is indicated by the average velocity of reference spherical particles, reflecting the convection strength within the bed. The results show higher average velocity in an ellipsoidal‐sphere mixture than in a sphere‐sphere mixture. The DEM results are validated with an identical experimental system.
Imperial algorithms: Contemporary manifestations of racism and colonialism
Authors: Thomas Dominique , Wilson Ciann L. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this special issue, we invited contributions that critically examined issues of imperialism, colonialism, power, justice, etc. to expand the canon of anticolonial scholarship and critical scholarship in community psychology. Our two objectives were: (1) to build on the canon of anticolonial and critical race scholarship to cultivate an empirical and theoretical body of work and conceptual frameworks about racism and colonialism within the field of community psychology and (2) to unpack the different manifestations of racism in society from the lens of community psychology and reflect on the implications of these varied forms of injustice in the contemporary moment. Rooted in African epistemology and methodology (Martin, 2012), we find the concept of the algorithm to serve as a potent metaphor for the ways in which these oppressive structures operate given the prevalence of algorithms in our daily lives and the algorithm is symbolic of the information age and predictive powers that seem to govern society beyond conscious control. In this sense, imperial algorithms are these structures, patterns, processes, and procedures that perpetuate imperialism. These imperial algorithms manifest as neo‐colonialism, surveillance, social engineering, carcerality, reality warping of contemporary racism, health disparities exacerbated by COVID‐19, and environmental grids of oppression.

AbstractDie Radikale des leichtesten Elements der Gruppe 13, Bor, sind gut bekannt und werden in zahlreichen Formen beobachtet. Im Gegensatz zu Bor ist die Radikalchemie mit den schwereren Elementen der Gruppe 13 (Aluminium, Gallium, Indium und Thallium) noch sehr wenig erforscht, was in erster Linie auf die synthetischen Herausforderungen zurückzuführen ist, die mit diesen Elementen verbunden sind. In diesem Artikel berichten wir über die Synthese und Isolierung planarer und verdrillter Konformere eines doppelt CAAC (cyclisches Alkyl(amino)carben)‐Radikal‐substituierten Dialans. Eine umfassende Charakterisierung durch spektroskopische Analysen und Röntgenkristallographie bestätigt ihre Identität, während quantenchemische Berechnungen ihren offenschaligen Charakter belegen und weitere Einblicke in ihre elektronischen Strukturen liefern. Die dialanverbrückten Diradikale weisen eine hohe Oxidationsanfälligkeit auf, wie elektrochemische Messungen sowie Reaktionen mit o‐Chloranil und einer Vielzahl organischer Azide zeigen. Diese Studie eröffnet eine bisher unbekannte Klasse von Dialuminiumsystemen und erweitert den Bereich der Diradikalchemie und ihrer möglichen Anwendungen.

Abstract
The New Zealand Seafloor Community Classification (NZSCC) is a national‐scale numerical community classification which depicts compositional turnover of 1716 taxa (demersal fish, reef fish, benthic invertebrates and macroalgae) classified into 75 groups representing seafloor communities. To ensure the continual use of the NZSCC for spatial planning and reporting, a robust maintenance framework must be set in place; key to this is being able to assess the ability of the classification to represent (discriminate between) different seafloor communities.
Here we describe an approach for validating the NZSCC using temporally independent evaluation data for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates (the latter sampled via a different method), which identifies whether the NZSCC represents different seafloor communities (i.e., assesses classification strength), evaluates the underlying statistical model, and considers heterogeneity in environmental coverage and statistical uncertainty. Additionally, the availability of abundance estimates for these evaluation datasets provides an opportunity to test whether the NZSCC—which was developed using presence‐absence data—can reflect abundance‐weighted seafloor communities.
The ANOSIM global R values (measuring classification strength) were 0.53 and 0.46 (and significant at the 1% level) for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates, respectively, indicating that the NZSCC groups define biologically distinctive environments.
The proportion of significant inter‐group differences were very high (95% and 97% for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates, respectively) suggesting NZSCC groups were distinct from each other in their taxonomic composition.
There were positive relationships between the evaluation datasets and the underlying statistical model. There was no evidence of these relationships being affected by the statistical uncertainty of the NZSCC.
NZSCC model validation metrics using abundance evaluation data were also moderately high (albeit lower than for presence‐absence for invertebrates) suggesting that the NZSCC, can at least in part, represent variation in abundance‐weighted communities. Results presented here suggest that the existing NZSCC is currently fit‐for‐purpose for informing management decisions.

AbstractParents of Autistic children often modify their participation in leisure, social, and employment activities to meet the caregiving needs of their child. However, few studies have examined the impact this has on caregiver quality of life (QoL). The aim in the current study was to examine the role of participation in a range of activities on QoL amongst primary and secondary caregivers of school‐aged Autistic children. Eighty‐eight primary (93% mothers) and 63 secondary (91% fathers) caregivers of Autistic children (aged 7‐ to 12‐years) participated in this cross‐sectional study, with time pressure, participation, social support, parenting stress, and QoL measured via an online questionnaire. Compared to secondary caregivers, primary caregivers reported fewer employment hours, increased time pressure, less participation in desired activities, and higher perceived responsibility of domestic and child‐rearing tasks. Similar levels of leisure frequency, parenting stress, and QoL were identified by both caregivers. Hierarchical regression revealed caregiver participation as important for QoL in both primary and secondary caregivers. However, when measures of caregiver well‐being were added to the model, the unique contribution of participation to QoL was reduced, particularly for secondary caregivers. Overall, the findings demonstrate that despite differences in caregiver roles and responsibilities, participation in meaningful activities was important for QoL in all caregivers.

AbstractObjectiveTo systematically summarise the current clinical evidence for de novo malignant upper urinary tract obstruction treatment with a focus on standards of reporting, patient outcomes and future research needs.MethodsThis review protocol was published via PROSPERO (CRD42022341588). OVID MEDLINE (R), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials—CENTRAL were searched up to June 2022 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analyses. Prospective and retrospective studies were included.ResultsOf 941 articles identified, 82 with 8796 patients were eligible for inclusion.Most studies in the published literature are retrospective and investigate heterogenous malignancies. Percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteric stenting are the most studied interventions. Few studies describe the outcomes from no intervention or investigate patient perspectives. Overall reported median survival after intervention was around 11.7 months. A lack of standardised reporting of outcomes was evident.ConclusionsMalignant upper urinary tract obstruction is an important clinical condition affecting patients globally. Overall survival after intervention appears poor however the current evidence base has significant limitations due to studies of low methodological quality and the lack of a standardised framework for reporting outcomes.We have provided a pragmatic framework for future studies based on the review to ensure a uniform methodology is utilised moving forward.

AbstractIn England the 2014 Children and Families Act introduced wide ranging changes to the assessment of and provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Guidance underpinning implementation was then published in the Code of Practice. Our study focuses on a key component of that legislation, known as the ‘local offer’, which requires local authorities to establish and maintain, clear, comprehensive, accessible and up to date information for children and young people with SEND, and their families, about available SEND provision. Local authorities are expected to involve children and young people and their families in co‐designing and reviewing their local offer, alongside other key stakeholders, to ensure provision is responsive to local needs and aspirations. To support our assessment of local offers we first established six categories based on the criteria in the Code of Practice about expected availability of SEND‐related information (e.g. financial support, health service information, accessibility information). We used these categories to evaluate the relevant local offer websites of all 151 English local authorities with legal responsibilities for SEND assessment and provision. We further assessed whether each local offer website included three common website accessibility functions. Our findings demonstrate variation in the availability of information at local authority level, therefore limiting the ability of some young people and families to make informed decisions about the support available to them. This provides further evidence to support growing concerns about ‘postcode lottery’ inequities for families and their children with SEND.
Business strategy and innovative models in the fashion industry: Clothing leasing as a driver of sustainability

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe fashion industry is ranked as the second largest cause of environmental pollution. In this context, circular business models emerge as key tools to address the negative impacts of the textile industry. The aim of this work is to identify alternatives to the currently dominant model followed by fast fashion, through the proposal of a circular business model based on leasing. The methodology of the work, based on the take‐make‐waste model, is based on a multicriteria analysis with the local–global approach using academic experts and fashion and retail experts. The results show that the criteria of the access‐based model and best care are the most relevant. The highest sustainability value is assigned to leasing, which guarantees ethical conditions for workers, followed by the use of raw materials (recycled or bio‐based materials) and the reduction of overproduction. The implications of this work determine that leasing can support circular fashion and that the social component of sustainability should be given more attention in production models. Strategic partnerships and sharing platforms are tools that can support a real transition of the fashion industry towards sustainability.
Biotransformation of maize bran‐derived ferulic acid to vanillin using an adapted strain of Amycolatopsis sp. ATCC 39116

Published: February 2024

AbstractMaize bran, an agro‐processing waste residue, is a good source of ferulic acid that can be further valorized for vanillin production. However, extraction of ferulic acid from natural sources has been challenging due to low concentrations and intensive extraction procedures. In the present work, ferulic acid streams (purities ranging from 5% to 75%) extracted from maize bran using thermochemical methods were evaluated for biotransformation to vanillin, employing Amycolatopsis sp. as a whole‐cell biocatalyst. Initial adaptation studies were critical in improving ferulic acid assimilation and its conversion to vanillin by 65% and 56%, respectively by the fourth adaptation cycle. The effect of cell's physiological states and vanillic acid supplementation on vanillin production was studied using standard ferulic acid as a substrate in an effort to achieve further improvement in vanillin yield. In the presence of vanillic acid, 18 h cultured cells using 2 g/L of standard and isolated ferulic acid produced vanillin concentrations of up to 0.71 and 0.48 g/L, respectively. Furthermore, intermediates involved in the ferulic acid catabolic pathway and their interrelations were studied using GC–MS analysis. Results indicated that two different routes were involved in the catabolism of standard ferulic acid, and similar metabolic routes were observed for an isolated ferulic acid stream. These findings effectively evaluated isolated ferulic acid for sustainable vanillin production while reducing agro‐industrial waste pollution.

AbstractRecent optimizations of cell culture processes have focused on the final seed scale‐up step (N − 1 stage) used to inoculate the production bioreactor (N‐stage bioreactor) to enable higher inoculation cell densities (2–20 × 106 cells/mL), which could shorten the production culture duration and/or increase the volumetric productivity. N − 1 seed process intensification can be achieved by either non‐perfusion (enriched‐batch or fed‐batch) or perfusion culture to reach those higher final N − 1 viable cell densities (VCD). In this study, we evaluated how different N − 1 intensification strategies, specifically enriched‐batch (EB) N − 1 versus perfusion N − 1, affect cell growth profiles and monoclonal antibody (mAb) productivity in the final N‐stage production bioreactor operated in fed‐batch mode. Three representative Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines producing different mAbs were cultured using either EB or perfusion N − 1 seeds and found that the N‐stage cell growth and mAb productivities were comparable between EB N − 1 and perfusion N − 1 conditions for two of the cell lines but were very different for the third. In addition, within the two similar cell growth cell lines, differences in cell‐specific productivity were observed. This suggests that the impact of the N − 1 intensification process on production was cell‐line dependent. This study revealed that the N − 1 intensification strategy and the state of seeds from the different N − 1 conditions may affect the outcome of the N production stage, and thus, the choice of N − 1 intensification strategy could be a new target for future upstream optimization of mAb production.

AbstractSkin is the largest and outermost organ in the human body; it serves as a vital defense mechanism against various external threats. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain its health through protection against harmful substances and adequate moisture levels. This study investigates the anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties of Oxyceros horridus Lour. (Oh‐EE) in human keratinocytes. Oh‐EE demonstrates potent antioxidant activity and effectively protects against oxidative stress induced by external stimuli such as UVB radiation and H2O2. Additionally, it exhibits significant anti‐inflammatory effects proven by its ability to downregulate the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, namely COX‐2 and IL‐6. The study also explores the involvement of the AP‐1 pathway, highlighting the ability of Oh‐EE to suppress the expression of p38 and its upstream regulator, MKK3/6, under UVB‐induced conditions. Interestingly, Oh‐EE can activate the AP‐1 pathway in the absence of external triggers. Furthermore, Oh‐EE enhances skin moisture by upregulating the expression of key genes involved in skin hydration, namely HAS3 and FLG. These findings underscore the potential of Oh‐EE as a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations, providing a range of skin benefits. Further research is warranted to comprehensively understand the underlying mechanisms through which Oh‐EE exerts its effects.

AbstractIn this study, phytochemical and biological activity studies supported by docking were carried out on a species of the genus Glaucium, a repository of isoquinoline alkaloids. The GC‐MS (Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry) method is used to characterize the isoquinoline alkaloids of Glaucium flavum Crantz. (Papaveraceae). G. flavum was collected from seven different regions of Türkiye (Antalya, Urla‐Izmir, Mordogan‐Izmir, Mugla, Assos‐Canakkale, Karabiga‐Canakkale, Giresun) and totally 17 compounds were detected by GC‐MS. Glaucine was found to be the major constituent in the sample collected from Mugla, whereas isocorydine was recorded to be the principal alkaloid in other samples. Further fractionation studies on G. flavum collected from Antalya province in Southwestern Türkiye, yielded five major alkaloids (isocorydine 1, dihydrosanguinarine 2, glaucine 3, dehydroglaucine 4, protopine 5) which were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Anticholinesterase activities of the extracts and isolated alkaloids were also tested by in vitro Ellman method. The isolated compounds were also analyzed by a molecular docking technique to determine the binding orientations in the gorge of the active site of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and a homology model of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). This is the first comparative investigation of the phytochemical composition and biodiversity of Glaucium flavum species growing in Türkiye.

Published: February 2024

AbstractA 51‐year‐old patient with progressive right heart dysfunction was found to have a large calcified right atrial mass on echocardiography. As part of the work up for an intracardiac mass he had a cardiac computed tomogram which detailed a large coronary cameral fistula from the circumflex coronary artery to the right atrium associated with a spherical calcific pseudo‐aneurysmal sac. Transcatheter occlusion of the exit point into the atrium with a vascular plug was performed directly from a right atrial approach without the need for an arteriovenous wire loop. This case details a unique presentation of a coronary cameral fistula to an unusual position within the right atrium which facilitated the rare ability to occlude the fistula from a venous approach without creating an arteriovenous wire rail.
