AbstractObjectiveMalignant salivary glands tumors (MSGTs) are a quite rare and heterogeneous group of tumors. Management of these lesions remains controversial and challenging. Thus, finding new prognostic factors that can help to guide the decision‐making process, appears to be paramount. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic performance of preoperative sarcopenia to stratify MSGTs patients at high risk of disease progression.Study DesignRetrospective study.SettingA single‐institution analysis (Maxillo‐facial Surgery Unit, University of Naples Federico II).MethodsThe study consists of a retrospective analysis of 74 patients surgically treated for MSGTs. For all patients, the skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated and sarcopenia was defined as SMI < 41 in females and <43 in males. The correlation between sarcopenia and tumor variables was analyzed. The prognostic performance of sarcopenia was evaluated through survival Kaplan‐Meier curves.ResultsSarcopenia resulted statistically related to age (P < .001), tumor size (P < .001), lymph node metastases (P < .001), and American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor, node, metastasis stage (P < .001). Kaplan‐Meier survival curves show that 47.3% of sarcopenic patients died before their final follow‐up.ConclusionData obtained from our study seem to confirm the correlation between sarcopenia and other high‐risk features. The early detection of sarcopenia in patients with negative prognostic factors could be used to implement the support therapeutic strategies aimed at restore the clinical conditions of the patients. Sarcopenia may be routinely investigated before surgery to suggest the implementation of precautionary therapeutic strategies to improve the standard treatment response, reducing possible complications.

AbstractThe proportion of students studying in higher education institutions who are experiencing mental health needs is increasing and becoming a serious concern. Using participatory arts projects may be key to enabling students to maintain well‐being despite the pressures inherent in their student role. Therefore, this study aimed to ascertain whether such a course could be feasibly developed within a university setting, and to examine how esthetic experience influences university students' well‐being. To understand the differences in students' esthetic experience and well‐being before and after engaging in participatory art, this study implemented an intervention and collected quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 39 students volunteered to participate in the study. The results revealed that esthetic experience predicted student well‐being, as the more students had an esthetic experience by concentrating on a particular artwork, the more effective it was in terms of enhancing their well‐being. In addition, there was a significant difference between the pre‐ and postintervention, where students' esthetic experience and well‐being improved after completing the art activities. These findings have implications for our understanding of university students' well‐being, as well as the importance of considering participatory art, on its own, as a target for intervention.

Published: November 2023

AbstractPrecious‐metal single‐atom catalysts (SACs), featured by high metal utilization and unique coordination structure for catalysis, demonstrate distinctive performances in the fields of heterogeneous and electrochemical catalysis. Herein, gold SACs are constructed on hierarchical nitrogen‐doped carbon nanocages (hNCNC) via a simple impregnation‐drying process and first exploited for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) to produce syngas. The as‐constructed Au SAC exhibits the high mass activity of 3319 A g−1Au at −1.0 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), much superior to the Au nanoparticles supported on hNCNC. The ratio of H2/CO can be conveniently regulated in the range of 0.4–2.2 by changing the applied potential. Theoretical study indicates such a potential‐dependent H2/CO ratio is attributed to the different responses of HER and CO2RR on Au single‐atom sites coordinating with one N atom at the edges of micropores across the nanocage shells. The catalytic mechanism of the Au active sites is associated with the smooth switch between twofold and fourfold coordination during CO2RR, which much decreases the free energy changes of the rate‐determining steps and promotes the reaction activity.
Strong Interfacial Chemical Bonding in Regulating Electron Transfer and Stabilizing Catalytic Sites in a Metal‐Semiconductor Schottky Junction for Enhanced Photocatalysis

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe weak electronic interaction at metal‐photocatalyst heterointerfaces often compromises solar‐to‐fuel performance. Here, a trifunctional Schottky junction, involving chemically stabilized ultrafine platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs, ≈3 nm in diameter) on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CNs) is proposed. The Pt–CN electronic interaction induces a 1.5% lattice compressive strain in Pt NPs and maintains their ultrafine size, effectively preventing their aggregation during photocatalytic reactions. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrate a significant reduction in the Schottky barrier at the chemically bonded CN–Pt heterointerface, facilitating efficient interfacial electron transfer, as supported by femtosecond transient absorption spectra (fs‐TAS) measurements. The combined effects of lattice strain, stabilized Pt NPs, and efficient interfacial charge transport collaboratively enhance the photocatalytic performance, leading to over an 11‐fold enhancement in visible light H2 production (8.52 mmol g−1 h−1) compared to the CN nanosheets with the in situ photo‐deposited Pt NPs (0.76 mmol g−1 h−1). This study highlights the effectiveness of strong metal–semiconductor electronic interactions and underscores the potential for developing high‐efficiency photocatalysts.

Published: November 2023

AbstractVehicle‐to‐grid (V2G) network has a clear advantage in terms of economic advantages, it has attracted the interest of electric vehicle (EV) and power grid users. However, numerous security concerns limit its further progress. In existing V2G protocols a trusted third party independently generates the master key of the system, so if the adversary compromises the third party, then the system may become vulnerable to system master key leakage attack. Recently, Su et al. presented a privacy‐preserving mutual authentication protocol for V2G networks. Firstly, we crypt‐analysis Su et al.'s protocol and show that their protocol is vulnerable to several security attacks such as the reveal of the master secret key, impersonation attacks and the incorrect notion of EV's anonymity and traceability and does not meet the security features they claimed in their paper. Secondly, we verify that Su et al.'s protocol is unsafe against impersonation attacks, system key leakage, and electrical vehicle anonymity attack using the AVISPA tool.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bovine concentrated lactoserum (BCL) containing specific immunoglobulin G against Escherichia coli, rotavirus and coronavirus in preventing neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD).MethodsA total of 489 newborn calves from 35 herds were orally given either BCL or a placebo before the first feeding of colostrum and clinically supervised by the farmers for the first 14 days of life. The diarrhoea score was defined according to the following criteria: 0 = no diarrhoea; 1 = light diarrhoea without medical treatment; 2 = diarrhoea requiring oral treatment (rehydration and/or antibiotic therapy); and 3 = severe diarrhoea requiring parenteral rehydration or resulting in death.ResultsA total of 138 calves suffered from diarrhoea (28%), and 65 (13%) showed signs of diarrhoea requiring treatment. The odds of getting NCD were reduced (odds ratio = 0.326; p < 0.001) in the BCL group. There was a tendency towards a reduction in the duration of NCD in the BCL group (2.25 (±1.7) days vs. 2.88 (±2.7) days in the placebo group) (p = 0.052). Furthermore, no calves died in the BCL group, whereas four calves died in the placebo group.LimitationsBecause of the design of the study using animals in practice, the mechanisms explaining the clinical findings remain as hypotheses. Diarrhoea scoring performed by farmers has to be analysed and interpreted with caution.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that BCL as a single preventive treatment is effective in reducing the incidence of NCD even in a region with good general management of dairy calves and overall good colostrum quality.

AbstractOur aim in this volume has been to raise awareness around an alternative approach to happiness and well-being. Against the backdrop of a departure from the twentieth century’s GDP = Happiness paradigm, we sought to lay out the basic concepts, outline the general policy storyline, and present supporting evidence in support of this alternative. We tried to keep the presentation concise, and accessible to a wide audience, in hopes of attracting many readers who might not otherwise encounter such ideas. Inevitably, brevity leads to many places wanting of deeper elaboration. Readers seeking more details and nuance may wish to now turn to our many scholarly articles published primarily in the fields of (cultural) psychology, sociology, and education, but increasingly in environmental studies as well. Given the nature of scholarly publishing, the larger story that we have outlined herein tends to get lost among the many smaller empirical studies that support it. On the other hand, outlines of the larger plot can tend to sound stereotypical, essentialist, homogenizing, or quaint, as when we gesture toward, say, ‘harmony’. We hope to have persuaded readers we are not engaged in this sort of shallow work. Instead, we are trying to contribute to a discussion around alternatives. We are interested neither in relativism nor in competition, but instead dedicated to collective search for new solutions to shared problems. Our stance is consistent with an interdependent mode.
Dissecting Bitcoin and Ethereum Transactions: On the Lack of Transaction Contention and Prioritization Transparency in Blockchains

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn permissionless blockchains, transaction issuers include a fee to incentivize miners to include their transactions. To accurately estimate this prioritization fee for a transaction, transaction issuers (or blockchain participants, mjohnme@mpi-sws.orgore generally) rely on two fundamental notions of transparency, namely contention and prioritization transparency. Contention transparency implies that participants are aware of every pending transaction that will contend with a given transaction for inclusion. Prioritization transparency states that the participants are aware of the transaction or prioritization fees paid by every such contending transaction. Neither of these notions of transparency holds well today. Private relay networks, for instance, allow users to send transactions privately to miners. Besides, users can offer fees to miners via either direct transfers to miners’ wallets or off-chain payments—neither of which are public. In this work, we characterize the lack of contention and prioritization transparency in Bitcoin and Ethereum resulting from such practices. We show that private relay networks are widely used and private transactions are quite prevalent. We show that the lack of transparency facilitates miners to collude and overcharge users who may use these private relay networks despite them offering little to no guarantees on transaction prioritization. The lack of these transparencies in blockchains has crucial implications for transaction issuers as well as the stability of blockchains. Finally, we make our data sets and scripts publicly available.
Identification and mapping of a recessive allele, dt3, specifying semideterminate stem growth habit in soybean
Authors: Clark Chancelor B. , Zhang Dajian , Wang Weidong , Ma Jianxin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Key message
A locus, dt3, modulating semideterminancy in soybean, was discovered by a combination of genome-wide association studies and linkage mapping with multiple distinct biparental populations.

Abstract
Stem growth habit is a key architectural trait in many plants that contributes to plant productivity and environmental adaptation. In soybean, stem growth habit is classified as indeterminate, semideterminate, or determinate, of which semideterminacy is often considered as a counterpart of the “Green Revolution” trait in cereals that significantly increased grain yields. It has been demonstrated that semideterminacy in soybean is modulated by epistatic interaction between two loci, Dt1 on chromosome 19 and Dt2 on chromosome 18, with the latter as a negative regulator of the former. Here, we report the discovery of a third locus, Dt3, modulating soybean stem growth habit, which was delineated to a ~ 196-kb region on chromosome 10 by a combination of allelic and haplotypic analysis of the Dt1 and Dt2 loci in the USDA soybean Germplasm Collection, genome-wide association studies with three subsets of the collection, and linkage mapping with four biparental populations derived from crosses between one of two elite indeterminate cultivars and each of four semideterminate varieties possessing neither Dt2 nor dt1. These four semideterminate varieties are recessive mutants (i.e., dt3/dt3) in the Dt1/Dt1;dt2/dt2 background. As the semideterminacy modulated by the Dt2 allele has unfavorable pleotropic effects such as sensitivity to drought stress, dt3 may be an ideal alternative for use to develop semideterminate cultivars that are more resilient to such an environmental stress. This study enhances our understanding of the genetic factors underlying semideterminacy and enables more accurate marker-assisted selection for stem growth habit in soybean breeding.

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) frequently results in remission of type 2 diabetes as well as exaggerated secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Here, we assessed RYGB-induced transcriptomic alterations in the small intestine and investigated how they were related to the regulation of GLP-1 production and secretion in vitro and in vivo.

Methods
Human jejunal samples taken perisurgically and 1 year post RYGB (n=13) were analysed by RNA-seq. Guided by bioinformatics analysis we targeted four genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, which we confirmed to be expressed in human L cells, for potential involvement in GLP-1 regulation using siRNAs in GLUTag and STC-1 cells. Gene expression analyses, GLP-1 secretion measurements, intracellular calcium imaging and RNA-seq were performed in vitro. OGTTs were performed in C57BL/6j and iScd1−/− mice and immunohistochemistry and gene expression analyses were performed ex vivo.

Results
Gene Ontology (GO) analysis identified cholesterol biosynthesis as being most affected by RYGB. Silencing or chemical inhibition of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), a key enzyme in the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids, was found to reduce Gcg expression and secretion of GLP-1 by GLUTag and STC-1 cells. Scd1 knockdown also reduced intracellular Ca2+ signalling and membrane depolarisation. Furthermore, Scd1 mRNA expression was found to be regulated by NEFAs but not glucose. RNA-seq of SCD1 inhibitor-treated GLUTag cells identified altered expression of genes implicated in ATP generation and glycolysis. Finally, gene expression and immunohistochemical analysis of the jejunum of the intestine-specific Scd1 knockout mouse model, iScd1−/−, revealed a twofold higher L cell density and a twofold increase in Gcg mRNA expression.

Conclusions/interpretation
RYGB caused robust alterations in the jejunal transcriptome, with genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis being most affected. Our data highlight SCD as an RYGB-regulated L cell constituent that regulates the production and secretion of GLP-1.

Published: November 2023

AbstractRecent variability in West African monsoon rainfall (WAMR) has been shown to be influenced by multiple ocean–atmosphere modes, including the El Niño Southern Oscillation, Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation. How these modes will change in response to long term forcing is less well understood. Here we use four transient simulations driven by changes in orbital forcing and greenhouse gas concentrations over the past 6000 years to examine the relationship between West African monsoon rainfall multiscale variability and changes in the modes associated with this variability. All four models show a near linear decline in monsoon rainfall over the past 6000 years in response to the gradual weakening of the interhemispheric gradient in sea surface temperatures. The only indices that show a long-term trend are those associated with the strengthening of the El Niño Southern Oscillation from the mid-Holocene onwards. At the interannual-to-decadal timescale, WAMR variability is largely influenced by Pacific–Atlantic – Mediterranean Sea teleconnections in all simulations; the exact configurations are model sensitive. The WAMR interannual-to-decadal variability depicts marked multi-centennial oscillations, with La Niña/negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation and a weakening and/or poleward shift of subtropical high-pressure systems over the Atlantic favoring wet WAMR anomalies. The WAMR interannual-to-decadal variability also depicts an overall decreasing trend throughout the Holocene that is consistent among the simulations. This decreasing trend relates to changes in the North Atlantic and Gulf of Guinea Sea Surface Temperature variability.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective
Ageing populations and poor care workforce availability are causing increasing job demands for home care nurses across Europe. While recovery from work helps sustain work ability and wellbeing, past research has relied mainly on self-reported measures of health, stressors, and recovery. This study aims to examine how objective and subjective job demands are associated with measured day-time recovery among home care nurses.

Methods
Heart rate variability recording was conducted for 95 Finnish home care nurses. The study participants documented their work tasks throughout the workday and filled a wellbeing questionnaire. The amount of care time, breaktime, number of different weekly clients, and their care needs were obtained from the survey. The associations between job demands and measured day-time recovery were analysed using multivariate linear regression.

Results
The amount of day-time recovery was on average 75 min. The number of different clients during the workday (e.g., care continuity) and higher care needs of the clients were associated with lower day-time recovery. Additionally, something slightly disrupting the course of the workday was associated with increased recovery.

Conclusions
Our findings indicate that reducing especially the objective job demands (workday characteristics) can contribute to better day-time recovery among home care nurses. To help sustain work ability and improve wellbeing, day-time recovery can be promoted with better work scheduling that supports care continuity and ensures sufficient care resources and support for nurses with many clients or clients with high care needs.
