AbstractThe detection rate of imidacloprid (IMI) in agro‐products are increasing annually, posing negative effects on food safety and human health. A sensitive and portable dual‐mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) method, combined with the smartphone, has been established to monitor the IMI residues in agro‐products. Optimal detection conditions were achieved with 0.4 mg/mL of IMI coating antigen and 4 μg/mL of IMI monoclonal antibody. The limit of detection (LOD) for qualitative analysis with naked‐eye observation was determined to be 25 ng/mL. For quantitative analysis, 20% inhibition concentration (IC20) was found to be 2.55 ng/mL, with a linear range (IC20–IC80) of 2.55–26.94 ng/mL. The recoveries and relative standard deviation (RSD) were in the ranges of 90.4%–103.2% and 2.0%–11.7%, respectively. There was a strong agreement between the results obtained from the established method and those from UHPLC‐MS/MS, with the slope and coefficient of determination (R2) reaching to 1.091 and 0.9837, respectively. Overall, the proposed dual‐mode LFIA method provides an efficient approach for on‐site detection of IMI in agro‐products.

Published: January 2025

AbstractSelf‐powered devices for human motion monitoring and energy harvesting have garnered widespread attention in recent research. In this work, we designed a honeycomb‐structured triboelectric nanogenerator (H‐TENG) using polyester cloth and Teflon tape, with aluminum foil as the conductive electrode. This design leverages the large surface area and flexibility of textiles, resulting in significant performance improvements. The H‐TENG achieves an output voltage of 350 V, an output current of 42 μA, and a transfer charge (QSC) of 77 nC, with a maximum output power of 465 μW. Additionally, the H‐TENG demonstrates the ability to monitor running activities and various gait patterns, providing real‐time bio‐mechanical data for smart running applications. The introduction of a stacked structure further enhances the output performance by increasing contact area and scalability, making the H‐TENG a robust and high‐performance energy harvester suitable for advanced wearable and flexible electronics.

AbstractHigh‐entropy alloys (HEAs), containing five or more elements in equal proportions, have recently made significant achievements in materials science due to their remarkable properties, including high toughness, excellent catalytic, thermal, and electrical conductivity, and resistance to wear and corrosion. This study focuses on a HEA composed of 23Fe−21Cr−18Ni−20Ti−18Mn, synthesized via ball milling. The alloy was treated with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to enhance its active surface area. The untreated HEA and the HCl‐treated HEA (HEA‐T) were then evaluated as potential cathode materials for supercapacitors (SCs). X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed that the HEA's composition and crystalline structure remained stable during acid treatment, with no new phases forming. The acid treatment significantly increased the surface area by ~20 times, the pore volume by ~10 times, and improved microstructural homogeneity. The HEA‐T electrode demonstrated superior specific capacitance, lower internal resistance, and better cycling stability than the untreated HEA electrode. At 0.5 A/g current density, the specific capacitance (Csp) of the HEA‐T was 600 F/g, approximately two times higher than the untreated HEA. This enhanced performance suggests that the HEA‐T electrode could lead to the development of high‐performance SCs.

AbstractThe efficient synthesis of terminal N‐alkenyl and N‐alkynyl derivatives of pyrazole‐4‐carboxylic acids and their methyl esters as substrates for studying electrophilic heterocyclization has been reported. The regiochemistry and stereoselectivity of the tellurium‐induced heterocyclization of 1‐pentynyl (butynyl, butenyl) substituted pyrazole‐4‐carboxylic acids and their methyl esters under the action of tellurium (IV) oxide in hydrohalic acid were determined. This electrophilic heterocyclization leads to the formation of tetrahydropyrazolo[1,2‐a]pyridazinium and dihydropyrazolo[1,2‐a]pyrazolium intramolecular salts, as confirmed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and comprehensive spectral analysis.

Abstract

To increase the effectiveness of agri‐environmental schemes, innovative approaches that focus on the landscape scale beyond individual fields and farms are widely discussed and tested. Central to these approaches is collaboration between several farmers and other actors in agricultural landscapes.

The effectiveness of collaborative agri‐environmental initiatives is strongly related to the motivation of actors. Administrative and social issues might hamper actor decisions to join an initiative.

Based on our experience in implementing a participatory landscape‐scale project in Germany, we raise the question in which ways actors can be motivated and empowered to participate in such initiatives and how collaborative approaches can stimulate and maintain the exchange of participants.

We find that establishing bridging structures (for an equal exchange of ideas and experiences), identifying and involving regional facilitators (to promote the participation of farmers and other actors) and addressing the expectations of actors (e.g. regarding administrative burden) can jointly support the establishment of collaborative initiatives in agriculture. This is particularly relevant when local actors have little experience with joint measure implementation and institutional framework conditions for collaborative governance are limited or not provided.

ABSTRACTBackgroundNew CFTR Modulator triple therapy Elexacaftor‐Ivacaftor‐Tezacaftor (ETI) prove efficacy in pulmonary outcomes. However, its impact on nasal sinus symptoms in children has not been specifically studied. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of this therapy on nasal sinus symptomatology in children aged 6–12 years.MethodsA prospective, single‐center cohort study was conducted over a 12‐month follow‐up period in children aged 6–12 years at the initiation of ETI therapy. The primary outcome was evolution of the SN‐5 score, a validated pediatric questionnaire measuring quality of life related to nasal sinus symptoms. A decrease of 0.5 points is considered clinically significant. Secondary outcomes included changes in clinical examination findings (obstructive turbinate hypertrophy, polyps, presence of pus in the middle meatus, and externalized mucocele), quality of life measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and number of antibiotic courses during the study period.ResultsTwenty‐six patients were included between March and September 2023, with no lost to follow‐up. The initial mean SN‐5 score was 2.88 (95% CI {1.91; 3.85}). After 1 year, the mean SN‐5 score was significantly lower (1.41, 95% CI {1.00; 1.88}, Delta = 1.47, p < 0.001). The VAS related to symptoms also improved (Delta = 1.7, p < 0.001), and the number of antibiotic courses decreased (25 vs. 69, p < 0.001). A trend toward improvement in clinical examination parameters was observed.ConclusionETI therapy appears to significantly improve nasal sinus symptoms in children aged 6–12 years, as evidenced by improved quality‐of‐life scales and reduced antibiotic use.

ABSTRACTPurposeEmbryo‐maternal signaling during the establishment of pregnancy in horses remains one of the biggest mysteries in large animal physiology. Early pregnancy loss represents a major source of economic loss to the breeding industry. This study aimed to investigate the systemic changes associated with early pregnancy by mapping the proteome of blood plasma at 14 days in pregnant and non‐pregnant mares.Experimental DesignPlasma proteomes were analysed in commercially bred pregnant (n = 17) and non‐pregnant (n = 17) Thoroughbred mares at 14 days after ovulation, using high‐resolution mass spectrometry. Day 14 histotroph and yolk sac fluid were also profiled and datasets were integrated through pathway analysis.ResultsWe identified 229 total protein IDs, with 12 increased and 10 decreased significantly in pregnant versus non‐pregnant plasma. To gain functional insight, these data were aligned with proteomes of 14‐day pregnant mare uterine fluid (n = 4; 1358 IDs) and conceptus fluid (soluble proteins within the yolk sac fluid; n = 4; 1152 IDs), and further interrogated using gene ontology databases and pathway analysis.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceThese analyses identified consistent systemic changes in the mare's proteome that indicate a profound and specific immune response to early pregnancy, which appears to precede the systemic endocrine response to pregnancy. Integrated pathway analysis suggests that embryo‐maternal interactions in early pregnancy may mimic elements of the virus‐host interaction to modulate the maternal immune response. Transthyretin (TTR) and uteroglobin (SCGB1A1) were respectively down‐ and upregulated in plasma while also present in uterine fluid, and are proposed to be key proteins in early pregnancy establishment. These findings contribute significantly to our knowledge of early pregnancy in the mare and identify potential new avenues for developing clinical approaches to reduce early embryo loss.
The Perspectives and Experiences of Physiotherapists on Implementing Self‐Management Support in Inpatient Hospital Settings
Authors: Boyd Jenna Kay , Rhodes Sarah , Gray Emily Anne 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackground and PurposeAs health systems come under increasing pressure, supporting patients to self‐manage their own condition is becoming increasingly important. A shift towards a more holistic, person‐centred approach to healthcare in the hospital setting, through enhancing self‐management support (SMS), is required to empower patients to increase independence in managing their own conditions. The study aim was to explore how physiotherapists perceive and implement SMS with patients in hospital inpatient settings.MethodsA qualitative study approach was taken using semi‐structured interviews (n = 8). Physiotherapists with at least 6 months experience working in the inpatient hospital setting were invited to participate. Interview data were analysed using the General Inductive Approach.ResultsFour themes were identified: (1) physiotherapists understanding and perceptions of implementation of SMS in the hospital, (2) SMS facilitates a person‐centred and collaborative approach to healthcare, (3) SMS is beneficial to patients, physiotherapists, and the healthcare system, and (4) perceived challenges and potential solutions for SMS implementation.DiscussionOverall, physiotherapists value the use of self‐management support in the hospital. SMS was implemented by partnering with patients, facilitating patients to problem solve and providing education so that patients could play an active role in decision making and independently participate in their rehabilitation. However, there appears to be scope to improve physiotherapists' knowledge of SMS to enable implementation of a wider range of SMS tools in clinical practice. A limitation of this study is that most participants were New Zealand European and, therefore, the findings are not generalisable to all physiotherapists working in New Zealand.Implications for Physiotherapy PracticePhysiotherapists perceive SMS to have a place in the inpatient hospital setting and can lead to better patient outcomes and reduce burden on the healthcare system. Enhancing physiotherapists' understanding of SMS and exploring other ways to implement SMS in hospital settings, may help to facilitate appropriate implementation.

ABSTRACTDams are essential for water resources management but impose notable effects on fluvial sediment transport and downstream river morphology by reducing or altering the timing of sediment loads. We explored the relationship between dam sediment management and downstream sediment dynamics in the context of riverine fisheries management. We quantified the effects of dam sediment management operations on downstream salmonid spawning habitat during two differing water‐level drawdown events: (1) an experimental drawdown leading to various high concentration sediment releases, and (2) a typical slower drawdown intended to minimize release of sediment. The experimental drawdown increased deposited fine sediment and decreased hyporheic dissolved oxygen levels. However, the typical drawdown did not increase fine sediment deposition or decrease hyporheic dissolved oxygen. We quantify the immediate impacts of dam operations using a number of water column and substrate metrics, and demonstrate the potential for sediment flushing operations to have short‐term seasonally persistent effects on salmonid spawning habitat. Common surrogates of suspended sediment concentration (i.e., turbidity) were poor indicators of salmonid spawning habitat, especially when sand was the dominant grain size. Instead, other measures of suspended sediment concentration such as acoustic backscatter and depth‐integrated samples, combined with discharge, appear to be better suited for monitoring and inferring the impacts of sediment releases on salmonid spawning habitat. We demonstrate the importance of understanding sediment particle sizes, monitoring relevant water column conditions in real‐time, and provide options for effectively monitoring the downstream impact of dam operations. This work can help managers balance dam sediment management operations with ecological priorities.

AbstractA ratio fluorescent sensor N'‐((E)‐3‐((E)‐((3′, 6′‐bis(diethylamino)‐3‐oxospiro[isoindoline‐1, 9′‐xanthen]‐2‐yl)imino)methyl)‐2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylbenzylidene)‐7‐(diethylamino)‐2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carbohydrazide (I) based on the FRET mechanism was synthesized using coumarin as the donor and rhodamine as the receptor. Its structure was characterized by FT‐IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI‐MS. The sensing performance of sensor I was studied using fluorescence spectrophotometry, and the detection mechanism was studied using density functional theory. The results indicated that in MeOH/H2O medium, sensor I exhibits a significant fluorescence enhanced response to Al3+, with a detection limit of 5.8 × 10−7 mol/L. In addition, complex I‐Al3+exhibits a significant fluorescence quenching response to PPi, with a detection limit of 3.7 × 10−7 mol/L, indicating that sensor I has high sensitivity and anti‐interference ability for the recognition and detection of Al3+ and PPi. Through the analysis of complexation curves, it was found that the complexation ratio of sensor I to Al3+ was 1:1 and complex I‐Al3+ to PPi was 2:1, and the cyclic response test could be performed stably for more than four times. The imaging results of Arabidopsis thaliana show that sensor I has low toxicity and good biocompatibility, which provides a way for the detection of Al3+ in plants.

Published: January 2025

AbstractElectronic flat bands can lead to rich many‐body quantum phases by quenching the electron's kinetic energy and enhancing many‐body correlation. The reduced bandwidth can be realized by either destructive quantum interference in frustrated lattices, or by generating heavy band folding with avoided band crossing in Moiré superlattices. Here a general approach is proposed to introduce flat bands into widely studied transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials by dilute intercalation. A flat band with vanishing dispersion is observed by angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) over the entire momentum space in intercalated Mn1/4TaS2. Polarization‐dependent ARPES measurements combined with symmetry analysis reveal the orbital characters of the flat band. Supercell tight‐binding simulations suggest that such flat bands arising from destructive interference between Mn and Ta on S through hopping pathways, are ubiquitous in a range of TMD families as well as for different intercalation configurations. The findings establish a new material platform to manipulate flat band structures and explore their corresponding emergent correlated properties.

AbstractEfficient room‐temperature sensors for toxic gases are essential to ensure a safe and healthy life. Conducting frameworks have shown great promise in advancing gas sensing technologies. In this study, two new organic‐inorganic frameworks [Cu2X2(PPh3)2(L)]n, CP1 (X = I) and CP2 (X = Br) have been synthesized using (pyridin‐4‐yl)‐N‐(4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl)methanimine (L) and triphenylphosphine. These frameworks exhibit distinct structural arrangements to generate 1D coordination polymers (CPs). Due to their semiconducting properties, both CPs are fabricated into conventional interdigitated electrodes by drop‐casting. Benefitting from the higher electron density of the Cu(I) center, CP1 demonstrates selective sensing for NO2 gas with excellent sensitivity and reversibility. The material offers one of the best room temperature NO2 chemiresistive sensing performances among the MOF/CP‐based materials with ultrafast response time (15.5 s @10 ppm). Additionally, convenient synthesis and ease of device fabrication for sensing give the material a distinct advantage. The experimental and theoretical findings collectively suggest that the adsorption of NO2 on the material's surface and the concomitant effective charge transfer between Cu(I) and NO2 are key to its efficacious gas sensing capabilities.

AbstractBismuth‐layered ferroelectric nanomaterials exhibit great potential for piezo‐photocatalysis. However, a major challenge lies in the difficulty of recovering the catalytic powders, raising concerns regarding secondary pollution of water. In this work, a novel hierarchical porous ferroelectric ceramic containing {110} surface‐exposed Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BIT‐Nd) nanosheet arrays is grown on a porous ceramic matrix for efficient and recyclable piezo‐photocatalysis. By controlling the BIT‐Nd loading level of the nanosheets, the piezo‐photocatalytic degradation efficiency of a Rhodamine B(RhB) (C0 = 10 mg L−1) solution reached an optimum value of 97.1% in 100 min with a first‐order kinetic rate constant, k, of up to 0.0321 min−1 in Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12‐20 (BITNd‐20) with a mass ratio of hydrothermal products to ceramics of 20%. In the presence of BITNd‐20, a surprising H2 yield rate of 130 µmol·h−1 is achieved without using any cocatalyst or scavenger. Specially, the beneficial role of snowflake structures on piezoelectric potential amplification and introducing nanosheets with exposed {110} surfaces on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, piezoelectric potential output, and catalytic performance of porous ceramics has been revealed. This unique design strategy provides a new approach to enhance the piezo‐photocatalytic activity by addressing environmental issues and enhancing catalytic performance to yield cleaner energy.

AbstractEmerging evidence demonstrates that inducing ferroptosis, a nonapoptotic programmed cell death mode, holds significant potential for tumor treatment. However, current ferroptosis strategies utilizing exogenous Fenton‐type heavy metal species or introducing glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) suppressants are hampered by latent adverse effects toward organisms, while utilizing endogenous iron may cause undesirable tumor angiogenesis through specific signaling pathways. Here, a ferric ion (Fe3+)‐responsive and DNAzyme‐delivered coordination nanosystem (ZDD) is developed to achieve a novel scheme of synergistic tumor‐specific ferroptosis and gene therapy, which modulates and harnesses the endogenous iron in tumors for inducing ferroptosis while intercepting tumor angiogenesis to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Profiting from the characteristic coordination structure and components, ZDD can not only specifically capture tumor endogenous Fe3+ into the tumor cells to promote the catalytic generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (O2·−) under acidic environment and the catalytic GSH oxidation, arousing potent ferroptotic cell death, but also effectively deliver specific DNAzyme and release abundant zinc ion (Zn2+) as a powerful cofactor to activate the biocatalytic cleavage of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) gene for angiogenesis suppression. Ultimately, the ZDD‐enabled synergistic therapy prominently inhibited tumor growth and prevented metastasis, representing a promising nanotherapeutic formula for safe and efficient tumor therapy.
