Authors: Gimunová Marta , Bozděch Michal , Novák Jan 
Published: November 2023

Background
Women are underrepresented in research focused on alcohol (e.g., Brighton, Moxham & Traynor, 2016; DOI 10.1097/JAN.0000000000000136) despite the changing patterns of alcohol consumption, which has been increasing in women in recent decades. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between habitual alcohol consumption and centre of pressure (CoP) parameters during stance and gait while intoxicated by alcohol.

Methods
Thirty women (24.39 ± 2.93 years) participated in this study. All participants were asked to answer the AUDIT questionnaire. Stance and gait analysis were repeated under two conditions on a Zebris platform (FDM GmbH; Munich, Germany): when the participants were sober (0.00% breath alcohol concentration, BrAC) and when they were in an intoxicated state (0.11% BrAC). Participants were divided by their AUDIT score into a low-risk alcohol consumption group (n = 15; AUDIT score: 3 to 6) and a hazardous alcohol consumption group (n = 15; AUDIT score: 7 to 13).

Results
No statistical difference was observed in stance and gait parameters when comparing the low-risk and hazardous groups under 0.00% BrAC and 0.11% BrAC conditions. A statistically significant difference was observed when comparing 0.00% BrAC and 0.11% BrAC conditions within each group. This significant difference was found in CoP path length and CoP average velocity during quiet stance. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in CoP parameters during gait. An alcohol intoxication of 0.11% BrAC was not sufficient to cause statistically significant impairments in butterfly parameters of gait.

Aim: Structural analysis of differential frame used for development of weeder using finitie element analysis interms of Von Misses stress, displacement, and safety factor.
Study Design: Solid work simulation using finite element analysis.
Place and Duration of Study: Dr NTR College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla. Duration of study was from June, 2023 to September, 2023.
Methodology: SolidWorks 2018 software was used for the development of 3 D model for differential chassis. AISI 1010 was the material utilized in the construction of the differential chassis of the weeder in this study. Based on the mentioned description of the analysis, the goal of this study was to use SolidWorks 2018 software and the finite element analysis method to examine the differential chassis frame construction. The minimum value of the safety factor was one of the references used as a gauge of a design's safety. Engineers frequently utilize an object's safety factor as a reference metric when determining how much stress it can withstand. This study's results include Von Mises stress, displacement, and safety factor for determining the material's capacity to sustain dynamic loads and shock loads.
Results & Discussions: The rated load of 2943N applied on differential chassis as per design calculation, lowest value of von Mises stress 0.112 N/m2 was observed at the Centre of differential where drive chain attached portion and highest von misses stress of 3.12x106 N/m2 was observed at brake drum edges where axle sprocket attached. Max deformation of 0.0647mm was observed at Centre of differential and minimum deformation of 1x10-3mm was observed at edges of brake drum. When rated load of 2943N applied, the factor of safety was observed as 3 which suited for carrying dynamic loads.
Conclusion: The differential chassis selected was suitable for development of axle system up to 2000 N dynamic load.

ImportanceThe association of tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-TKIs) with aneurysm and artery dissection (AAD) has been frequently reported in spontaneous reporting databases.ObjectiveTo investigate the risk and incidence of AAD occurrence in patients with cancer treated with oral VEGFR-TKIs, with capecitabine as an active comparator.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis national, historical cohort study was conducted using national claims data from the National Health Insurance Service in Korea from 2007 to 2020, with a 1-year follow-up. Patients with cancer aged 40 years or older prescribed oral VEGFR-TKIs or capecitabine were enrolled. Data were analyzed from September 2022 through April 2023.ExposureOral VEGFR-TKIs (sorafenib, regorafenib, vandetanib, sunitinib, lenvatinib, axitinib, and pazopanib) or capecitabine as a comparator.Main Outcomes and MeasuresHazard ratios (HRs) were used to investigate the association between VEGFR-TKI use and AAD after propensity score matching. The primary outcome was AAD, and secondary outcomes were aortic aneurysm and dissection and AAD with rupture. Outcomes were defined using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes.ResultsAmong 127 710 patients with cancer eligible for the study (80 386 males [62.9%]; mean [SD] age, 62.6 [10.9] years), 37 308 patients received VEGFR-TKIs and 90 402 patients received capecitabine. Among 27 535 matched patients receiving VEGFR-TKIs, the incidence of AAD within 1 year of treatment initiation was 6.0 per 1000 person-years. The median (IQR) time to AAD onset in the matched AAD group was 114 (67-257) days after treatment initiation, with the highest incidence observed during the first 3 months (45 incidents vs 31, 17, and 16 incidents during 3- to 6-month, 6- to 9-month, and 9- to 12-month periods, respectively). Cox regression modeling showed that the risk of AAD occurrence was significantly higher among patients prescribed VEGFR-TKIs than those receiving capecitabine (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.08-2.02); similar results were obtained among females (HR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.26-3.42), older adults (aged ≥65 years; HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.01-1.99), and patients with dyslipidemia (HR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.11-2.24).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study, the use of oral VEGFR-TKIs was associated with an increased risk of AAD occurrence. These findings elucidate vascular toxic effects and may provide a substantial reference for reducing the socioeconomic burden of adverse events associated with VEGFR-TKI use.

AbstractRenewable cellulose, the major structural component of plant cell walls, is one of the most abundant biopolymers on Earth, and exhibits many desirable properties including biodegradability, high stiffness, low inherent toxicity, and general compatibility with a plethora of biological tissues under many conditions. While these properties make cellulose appealing as a polymer, it is not melt‐ or solution‐processable due to its extensive inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonding network that prevents softening or melting before decomposition. To circumvent this, cellulose can be converted into organic esters, generating a processable plastic material with the benefits inherent to cellulose. Organic cellulose esters have been commercially significant materials for over a century since their initial use as safety film to replace flammable nitrocellulose. Since then, the chemistry of cellulose esters has undergone dramatic growth, generating new cellulose derivatives with a wide range of properties, finding value in a wide variety of applications including industrial coatings, tissue engineering, drug delivery, optical materials, and biodegradable plastics. The polymer science of cellulose esters is an important, complex, and ever‐expanding field; herein, we will introduce and discuss the synthesis, characterization, structure–property relationships, and applications of organic cellulose esters.

Published: November 2023

AbstractSelf‐healing polymers have emerged as a promising class of materials due to their ability to autonomously repair after damage, leading to enhanced durability and extended lifetimes. Inspired by biological systems, self‐healing materials have potential to restore their original properties and functionalities without the need for external intervention. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the development and understanding of self‐healing polymers, paving the way for their widespread applications. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of self‐healing polymers, covering their mechanisms, challenges, and potential applications. The central concept of self‐healing is the ability of a material to mend itself after experiencing damage. Intrinsic self‐healing relies on the inherent properties of the polymer matrix, including reversible chemical bonds and dynamic interactions, to facilitate healing. Such mechanisms enable the restoration of the material's integrity without the need for external intervention. Extrinsic self‐healing strategies involve the incorporation of stimuli‐responsive components within the polymer which enable healing. These components include microcapsules containing healing agents, protected and bare catalysts, and agent‐containing vascular networks. Self‐healing enables the restoration of mechanical properties, aesthetics, and even optical properties and electrical conductivity offering the potential to revolutionize product reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety in a wide range of applications.

AbstractPurposeChest wall postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) should consider the effects of chest wall respiratory motion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of robustness planning intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for respiratory movement, considering respiratory motion as a setup error.Material and methodsThis study analyzed 20 patients who underwent PMRT (10 left and 10 right chest walls). The following three treatment plans were created for each case and compared. The treatment plans are a planning target volume (PTV) plan (PP) that covers the PTV within the body contour with the prescribed dose, a virtual bolus plan (VP) that sets a virtual bolus in contact with the body surface and prescribing the dose that includes the PTV outside the body contour, and a robust plan (RP) that considers respiratory movement as a setup uncertainty and performs robust optimization. The isocenter was shifted to reproduce the chest wall motion pattern and the doses were recalculated for comparison for each treatment plan.ResultNo significant difference was found between the PP and the RP in terms of the tumor dose in the treatment plan. In contrast, VP had 3.5% higher PTV Dmax and 5.5% lower PTV V95% than RP (p < 0.001). The RP demonstrated significantly higher lung V20Gy and Dmean by 1.4% and 0.4 Gy, respectively, than the PP. The RP showed smaller changes in dose distribution affected by chest wall motion and significantly higher tumor dose coverage than the PP and VP.ConclusionWe revealed that the RP demonstrated comparable tumor doses to the PP in treatment planning and was robust for respiratory motion compared to both the PP and the VP. However, the organ at risk dose in the RP was slightly higher; therefore, its clinical use should be carefully considered.

AbstractPurposeAdaptive radiotherapy (ART) can improve the dose delivered to the patient in the presence of anatomic variations. However, the required time, effort, and clinical resources are intensive. This work analyzed a plan‐of‐the‐day (POD) approach on clinical patients treated with online ART to explore implementations that balance dosimetric benefit and clinical resource cost.MethodsEight patients treated to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles with 26 fractions of CBCT‐guided, daily online ART were retrospectively analyzed. With a plan library composed of daily adaptive plans from the initial week of treatment and the original plan, the effect of a POD approach starting the following week was investigated by simulating use of these previously generated plans under 3‐ and 6‐degree‐of‐freedom patient alignment. The plan selected for each treatment was that from the library that maximized the Dice similarity coefficient of the clinical target volume with that of the current treatment fraction. The resulting distribution of several target coverage and organ‐at‐risk dose metrics are described relative to those achieved with the daily online reoptimized adaptive technique.ResultsThe values of target coverage and organ‐at‐risk dose metrics varied across patients and metrics. The POD schemas closely approximated the reference values from a fully reoptimized adaptive plan yet required less than 20% of the reoptimization effort. The POD schemas also had a much greater effect on target coverage metrics than 6‐degree‐of‐freedom registration did. Organ‐at‐risk dose metrics also varied considerably across patients but did not exhibit a consistent dependence on the particular schema.ConclusionsPOD schemas were able to achieve the vast majority of the dosimetric benefit of daily online ART with a small fraction of the online reoptimization effort. Strategies like this might allow for more practical and strategic implementation of ART so as to benefit a greater number of patients.

AbstractRapport building is a widely recommended investigative technique that sometimes improves eyewitness recall. However, a clear understanding of how rapport impacts witness recall is lacking. We explored benevolence as a mediator between rapport and eyewitness recall while fixing the pre‐interview interaction to 3 min. Further, we explored whether rapport would lead to benevolence transferring to a subsequent unrelated task. A total of 109 participants viewed a mock crime and were interviewed about the crime either with or without rapport. Afterward, participants were asked to volunteer for a future research opportunity. Results indicated that rapport participants reported higher benevolence than control participants. Additionally, rapport participants volunteered to help the investigator more often than control participants. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two “benevolence” factors: (1) Effortful informativeness and (2) positive and rewarding. Our findings have implications for real‐world investigators who may appeal to witnesses' desire to be helpful and their resultant sense of satisfaction.

AbstractIn the past decade, antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has made significant progress as a solar energy conversion material. However, the photovoltage deficit continues to pose a challenge and is a major hurdle that must be overcome to reach its maximum solar conversion efficiency. In this study, various post‐synthetic treatments are employed, of which the combination of a solution phase silver nitrate treatment and sulfurization has shown to be the most effective approach to mitigate the photovoltage deficit in this Sb2Se3‐based device. A significant enhancement in the photovoltage is observed after the treatments, as evident by the increase in the onset potential from 0.18 to 0.40 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Multiwavelength Raman shows that combining these two treatments removes amorphous Se and metallic Sb from the surface and yields a high‐quality surface layer of Sb2(S1−x, Sex)3 on the bulk Sb2Se3 photoabsorber layer. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy with depth profiling reveals extensive incorporation of silver into the film. Density functional theory calculations suggest that silver ions can intercalate between the [Sb4Se6]n ribbons and remain in the Ag+ state. This effective treatment combination brings the practicality of the Sb2Se3 photocathode for water splitting one step closer to large‐scale applications.

AbstractElectrocatalytic hydrogen production technology is essentially vital for future green and sustainable energy revolution while its large‐scale industrial application is still unsatisfactory due to the low efficiency of electrocatalysts and kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Developing novel electrocatalysts and coupling them with upgrading organic molecules are considered effective solutions. Herein, it reports a high‐entropy composite electrocatalyst consisting of FeCoNiAlMo alloy and carbon nanotube (CNT) for anodic benzyl alcohol (BA) electrooxidation coupled with cathodic hydrogen production. Because of the lower charge transfer resistance and faster reaction kinetics, the quinary FeCoNiAlMo/CNT is highly active to OER, remarkably outperforming the ternary FeCoNi/CNT counterpart. Then, the FeCoNiAlMo/CNT composite electrocatalyst is further utilized for BA oxidation reaction‐assisted hydrogen evolution. Combining the experimental and calculation results, the different activities when tested in BA‐containing or BA‐free electrolytes can be attributed to the different metal active sites with specific surface adsorption effects to water and BA molecules, respectively. This work develops a novel electrocatalyst for high‐efficient alcohol oxidation‐assisted electrolysis.

AbstractSelf‐trapped exciton (STE) induced broad‐band emission (BE) has sparked considerable interest due to its potential applications in white‐light emitters and optoelectronics. This phenomenon is widely observed in organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites with soft lattice structures, and its physical origin is still under debate. Herein, strong sub‐bandgap STE emission with a large Stokes shift and a photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 9.2% in van der Waals (vdW) layered In4/3P2S6 is reported. Combining comprehensive optical characterizations and theoretical calculations, this concludes that defect‐assisted extrinsic STE is responsible for the BE. The excitonic state can be further localized by hydrostatic pressure, resulting in a threefold PL intensity enhancement. In addition, angle‐resolved polarized Raman demonstrates the anisotropic lattice dynamics in IPS, which may underpin the highly linear anisotropy of the STE emission. This work clarifies the defect, STE, and anisotropy coupling effect in vdW crystal, and provides innovative avenues to modulate the STE luminescence.

AbstractThe field of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) has progressed beyond the design and exploration of powdery and single‐crystalline materials. A current challenge is the fabrication of organized superstructures that can harness the directional properties of the individual constituent MOF crystals. To date, the progress in the fabrication methods of polycrystalline MOF superstructures has led to close‐packed structures with defined crystalline orientation. By controlling the crystalline orientation, the MOF pore channels of the constituent crystals can be aligned along specific directions: these systems possess anisotropic properties including enhanced diffusion along specific directions, preferential orientation of guest species, and protection of functional guests. In this perspective, we discuss the current status of MOF research in the fabrication of oriented polycrystalline superstructures focusing on the specific crystalline directions of orientation. Three methods are examined in detail: the assembly from colloidal MOF solutions, the use of external fields for the alignment of MOF particles, and the heteroepitaxial ceramic‐to‐MOF growth. This perspective aims at promoting the progress of this field of research and inspiring the development of new protocols for the preparation of MOF systems with oriented pore channels, to enable advanced MOF‐based devices with anisotropic properties.

AbstractThe heterogeneity of perovskite film crystallization along the vertical direction leads to voids and traps at the buried interfaces, hampering both efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, bovine serum albumin‐functionalized Au nanoclusters (ABSA), combined with heavy gravity, high surface charge density, and strong interactions with the electron transport layer, are designed to reconstruct the buried interfaces for not only high‐quality crystallization, but also improved carrier transfer. The ABSA macromolecules with amine function groups and larger surface charge density interact with the perovskite to improve the crystallinity, and gradually migrate towards the buried interface, healing the defective voids, hence suppressing surface recombination velocity from 3075 to 452 cm s−1. The healed buried interface and the higher surface potential of ABSA‐modified TiO2 lead to improved carrier extraction at the interface. The resulting solar cell attains a power conversion efficiency of 25.0% with negligible hysteresis and remarkable stability, maintaining 92.9% of their initial efficiency after 3200 h of exposure to the ambient atmosphere, they also exhibit better continuous irradiation stability compared to control devices. These findings provide a new metal‐protein complex to eliminate the deleterious voids and defects at the buried interface for improved photovoltaic performance and stability.
