AbstractPiezocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production is a green synthesis method, but the rapid complexation of charge carriers in piezocatalysts and the difficulty of adsorbing substrates limit its performance. Here, metal‐organic cage‐coated gold nanoparticles are anchored on graphitic carbon nitride (MOC‐AuNP/g‐C3N4) via hydrogen bond to serve as the multifunctional sites for efficient H2O2 production. Experiments and theoretical calculations prove that MOC‐AuNP/g‐C3N4 simultaneously optimize three key parts of piezocatalytic H2O2 production: i) the MOC component enhances substrate (O2) and product (H2O2) adsorption via host–guest interaction and hinders the rapid decomposition of H2O2 on MOC‐AuNP/g‐C3N4, ii) the AuNP component affords a strong interfacial electric field that significantly promotes the migration of electrons from g‐C3N4 for O2 reduction reaction (ORR), iii) holes are used for H2O oxidation reaction (WOR) to produce O2 and H+ to further promote ORR. Thus, MOC‐AuNP/g‐C3N4 can be used as an efficient piezocatalyst to generate H2O2 at rates up to 120.21 μmol g−1 h−1 in air and pure water without using sacrificial agents. This work proposes a new strategy for efficient piezocatalytic H2O2 synthesis by constructing multiple active sites in semiconductor catalysts via hydrogen bonding, by enhancing substrate adsorption, rapid separation of electron‐hole pairs and preventing rapid decomposition of H2O2.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe reaction behavior of [Cp*Fe(η5‐As5)] (I) (Cp*=C5Me5) towards carbenes and their heavier analogs was investigated. The reaction of I with NHCs (NHCs=N‐heterocyclic carbenes) results in the first substitution products of polyarsenic ligand complexes by NHCs [Cp*Fe(η4‐As5NHC)] (1 a: NHC=IMe=1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazolin‐2‐ylidene, 1 b: NHC=IMes=1,3‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene). In contrast, the reaction of I with EtCAAC (EtCAAC=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐4,4‐diethyl‐2,2‐dimethyl‐pyrrolidin‐5‐ylidene) leads to a fragmentation and the formation of an unprecedented As6‐sawhorse‐type compound [As2(AsEtCAAC)4] (2). The reaction of (LE)2 (L=PhC(NtBu)2; E=Si, Ge) with I resulted in a rearrangement and an insertion of LE fragments, forming unique silicon‐ (4: [Cp*Fe(η4‐As4SiL)], 5 a: [Cp*Fe(η4‐As6SiL)) and germanium‐containing (5 b: [Cp*Fe(η4‐As6GeL)) cyclic polyarsenic ligand complexes.
Light‐fueled self‐oscillation of liquid crystal polymer network: Effect of photostabilizers
Authors: Alipanah Zhila , Zakerhamidi Mohammad Sadegh , Ranjkesh Amid 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe quest for harnessing light‐induced oscillatory motion, inspired by natural oscillations, has become a focus of scientific attention. Researchers are exploring the use of liquid crystal network (LCN) polymers and their integration with compatible materials as soft actuators. Of particular interest is the utilization of photostabilizers, which play a pivotal role in preserving the polymer against photodegradation. For this, three distinct derivatives of Tinuvin were chosen to explore their influence on the light‐fueled oscillatory motion of LCN polymers when exposed to polarized light to examine the impact of molecular orientation on the resultant motion. The research includes a comprehensive analysis of morphology, FT‐IR spectra, and elastic modulus assessments. The findings indicate that the Tinuvin derivatives along with light polarization have an impact on the resulting oscillatory characteristics. The findings include oscillation frequencies spanning from 8.95 to 14.96 Hz and oscillation amplitudes ranging from 0.47 to 1.73 mm. The dipole moment of Tinuvin types influences the oscillation frequency by altering the elastic modulus of the LCN, while its impact on surface roughness and structural configuration affects the resulting oscillation amplitude. Notably, the highest oscillation frequency is observed when all oriented molecules within the LCN respond to 45° polarized light. Investigating the impact of utilized photostabilizers on the polymer structural configuration was although possible through the examination of related FT‐IR specra.

AbstractThis paper serves to highlight the partnership built between the Prewitt Slave Cemetery Association (PSCA) and the University of Alabama (UA) through the work conducted by the UA archaeological field school at the Prewitt Slave Cemetery (PSC) in Fall 2022. During this collaborative project, the field school students geolocated, recorded and photographed more than 700 above‐ground grave markers and conducted a multi‐method geophysical survey that included magnetic gradiometry, electrical resistance, electromagnetic induction and ground‐penetrating radar. Results from this survey aided researchers in identifying the locations of over 800 marked and unmarked graves. The benefits of the partnership between PSCA and UA were mutual and multiple. First, the data recorded by the UA field school helped the PSCA achieve its immediate goal of identifying unmarked graves, allowing the organization to move forward with efforts to preserve and protect the PSC. Second, the UA field school students gained valuable experience related to proper cemetery study techniques, including geophysical survey, and learned to conduct community‐based participatory research in collaboration with descendant communities. Additionally, this project allowed for further research related to the use of multiple methods of geophysical instrumentation for identifying unmarked graves beyond ground‐penetrating radar.

AbstractThe lack of high‐performance electrodes is a key factor restricting the development of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), and usually a certain type of electrode material alone often fails to combine the merits of high capacity and good conductivity. Herein, nitrogen‐doped carbon (NC) was used as a multifunctional bridge to uniformly compound high‐capacity MoS2 nanoparticles with highly conductive Ti3C2Tx nanosheets to form Ti3C2Tx@MoS2/NC composite with flower‐like architecture. Ultrafine MoS2 nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets to form nanosheets primary building blocks with a sandwich‐like architecture, which not only shortens the ion transfer distance but also enlarges the layer spacing of Ti3C2Tx favoring the storage of more sodium ions as well as their transport capacity. Moreover, the flower‐like structures with abundant edges can provide an ample active sites and high pseudocapacitance behavior. As a result, flower‐like Ti3C2Tx@MoS2/NC displays a high electrochemical properties with an excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles (81.4 % capacity retention) and preeminent rate capacity of 383 mAh g−1 at 30 A g−1. Furthermore, Ti3C2Tx@MoS2/NC‖Na3V2(PO4)3 full cell displays a capacity of 59 mAh g−1 at 0.4 A g−1 after 180 cycles. This work displays a high‐performance anode composite for SIBs and provides insight into the preparation of other composites.
A new strategy for screening novel functional genes involved in reduction of lipid droplet accumulation
Authors: Maruyama Ryuto , Kudo Yasuhiro , Sugiyama Tomoyasu 
Published: November 2023

AbstractLipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that store excess lipids and provide fatty acids for energy production during starvation. LDs are also essential for cellular maintenance, but excessive accumulation of LDs triggers various cancers in addition to metabolic diseases such as diabetes. In this study, we aimed to develop a strategy to identify new genes that reduces accumulation of LDs in cancer cells using an RNA interference (RNAi) screening system employing artificial sequence‐enriched shRNA libraries. Monitoring LDs by fluorescent activated cell sorting, the subsequently collected cumulative LDs cells, and shRNA sequence analysis identified a clone that potentially functioned to accumulate LDs. The clone showed no identical sequence to human Refseq. It showed very similar sequence to seven genes by allowing three mismatches. Among these genes, we identified the mediator complex subunit 6 (MED6) gene as a target of this shRNA. Silencing of MED6 led to an increase in LD accumulation and expression of the marker genes, PLIN2 and DGAT1, in fatty cells. MED6 is a member of the mediator complex that regulates RNA polymerase II transcription through transcription factor II. Some mediator complexes play important roles in both normal and pathophysiological transcription processes. These results suggest that MED6 transcriptionally regulates the genes involved in lipid metabolism and suppresses LD accumulation.
Understanding and achieving sustainable consumption: Integrating international political economy and psychology perspectives
Authors: Liu Shuya 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe concept of sustainable consumption has gained significant attention in international policy discussions. In order to achieve sustainable consumption, it is essential to thoroughly comprehend the underlying causes of current unsustainable consumption patterns and the associated challenges in transitioning to more sustainable practices. This research, employing perspectives from international political economy and psychology, elucidates that unsustainable consumption is rooted in a combination of systemic and individual factors. Systemic factors encompass unequal exchange relations, lack of efficient telecoupling framework, political and ecological trade‐off dilemma. Individual factors include unsatisfied needs, insufficient environmental concern, and low self‐efficacy. Drawing upon these findings, this study presents a comprehensive set of macro and micro‐level policy recommendations for achieving sustainable consumption and a more equitable and sustainable future.
Can borrowing constraints enhance environmental sustainability? An alternative parametric approach
Authors: Dutta Abhishek , Ghosh Debarati , Dutta Meghna 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe paper explores how restrictions of credit affect the turning point of the non‐linear relationship between financial performance and the environmental sustainability of manufacturing firms in India. Our results are in support of the inverted U‐shaped relationship between financial performance and environmental sustainability. The study builds upon an alternative long‐run specification, which avoids the non‐linear transformations of potentially non‐stationary regressors in panel estimation and finds evidence that the higher the firm's degree of credit constraints, the lower is its financial performance at the turning point, indicating the different finance‐sustainability paths across firms due to credit frictions. We also investigate the aforementioned relationship by considering the exporting potential of the firms.

Authors: Memon Khalid Rasheed , Ooi Say Keat , Han Heesup 
Published: November 2023

AbstractTechnological innovations may bring unintended consequences despite their potential usefulness. Responsible innovation (RI) has gained increasing popularity in high‐tech nations as a means to mitigate potentially disruptive technological developments. Unfortunately, existing RI research has not sufficiently elucidated the sustainability performance of firms, leading to ambiguous theoretical underpinnings, relationships, and practical applicability. This study aims to address these concerns and provide directions for future research on RI. Based on the resource‐based view, the research introduces RI as a distinctive competency of a firm to investigate the mechanisms driving sustainability performance, measured in three areas: financial, social, and environmental. The study presents the antecedents of RI as a driving force that can enable businesses to gain a sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) and improve sustainability performance. Data were collected from 190 innovative manufacturing firms in Malaysia. First, structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to investigate the antecedents that significantly influence RI. In the second phase, artificial neural network (ANN) analysis was employed to rank the significant predictors identified through SEM. Furthermore, the RI dimensions that lead to SCA and sustainability performance were also ranked using ANN, offering practical strategic business directions for managers.
Neuroethics and neurolaw in forensic neuropsychiatry: A guide for clinicians
Authors: Aggarwal Neil Krishan , Jain Abhishek 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAs neuroscience technologies develop, ethical and legal questions arise regarding their use and societal impact. Neuroethics and neurolaw are growing interdisciplinary fields that address these questions. This review article presents the research agenda of both areas, examines the use and admissibility of neuroscience in expert testimony and legal settings, and discusses ethical issues related to forensic neuropsychiatrists claiming expertise in neuroscience, formulating medical opinions based on neuroscience, and considering its relevance to criminal responsibility. Forensic neuropsychiatrists should be aware of emerging neuroscientific evidence, its utility and limits in rendering diagnoses and explaining behavior, and, before seeking such evidence for legal purposes, its availability and admissibility. When testifying in matters involving neuroscientific evidence, ensuring truthfulness and balance, having sufficient and validated knowledge (including openness with confirming and disconfirming evidence), understanding standards of practice, and drawing relevant and appropriate conclusions remain important.
Targeted Preparation and NMR Spectroscopic Characterization of Lys11‐Linked Ubiquitin Trimers
Authors: Immler Fabian , Schneider Tobias , Kovermann Michael 
Published: November 2023

AbstractUbiquitylation refers to the attachment of mono‐ or poly‐ubiquitin molecules to a substrate protein. To shield ubiquitin chains against potential hydrolysis, a facile, click‐chemistry based approach was recently established for the generation of site‐specifically conjugated ubiquitin dimers relying on triazole‐linkage. Here, the preparation of such ubiquitin chains was advanced by the generation of homotypic Lys11‐linked ubiquitin trimers considering an isotopic labeling scheme in a moiety‐wise manner. The structural and dynamical impact on the ubiquitin unit at proximal, central, or distal position that is potentially invoked by the respective other two moieties was systematically probed by heteronuclear high‐resolution NMR spectroscopic approaches. As a result, conjugating a third ubiquitin moiety to the proximal or distal site of a ubiquitin dimer does not alter structural and dynamical characteristics as it has been seen for ubiquitin dimers. This observation suggests that recognition of a homotypically assembled ubiquitin chain by a potential substrate is primarily done by screening the length of a ubiquitin chain rather than relying on subtle changes in structure or dynamic properties of single ubiquitin moieties composing the chain.

Authors: Dias Paula Basso , Linhares Anna Carolina Badotti , Hokazono Kenzo 
Published: November 2023

Key Clinical MessageRetinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) is a benign glial tumor that may be present in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS), contributing to the diagnosis of this syndrome. While hamartomas identified through indirect ophthalmoscopy are often large enough to affect vessels and optic disc anatomy, RAH not detected in previous fundoscopies may become apparent in optical coherence tomography (OCT). The purpose of this report was to describe and characterize RAH with OCT with swept‐source technology (OCT‐SS), aiming to establish a more comprehensive classification for these hamartomas due to their diverse presentations. Fundus examination of a 11‐year‐old girl revealed retinal tumors in both eyes. OCT‐SS confirmed the diagnosis of TS, revealing dome‐shaped hyperreflective masses at different stages of evolution. Lesion 1: maximum thickness (MT) of 336 μm and ganglion cell layer disorganization. Lesion 2: MT of 438 μm and preserved outer plexiform layer. Lesion 3: posterior shadow, MT of 1478 μm and complete rupture of retinal anatomy. Lesion 4: MT of 342 μm and preserved retinal anatomy. OCT is a noninvasive method which assists the diagnosis of subclinical lesions and clinical characterization of TS patients.

Diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy accompanied with primary aldosteronism—Case report
Authors: Tang Kaiyu , Liu Shuaiye , Yang Sicong , Yuan Qinghua , Du Zhimin 
Published: November 2023

Key Clinical MessageHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is known to be the most prevalent genetic cardiac condition. However, there have been limited reports on the diagnosis of HCM accompanied by secondary hypertension and the subsequent systematic therapy. In this case report, we present the case of a 65‐year‐old male patient who presented with recurring chest discomfort during physical activity, along with refractory hypertension. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) revealed the presence of HCM in this individual. Further investigation revealed hypokalemia, elevated aldosterone levels, decreased plasma renin activity, and an aldosterone‐to‐renin ratio above 30. These findings strongly indicated primary aldosteronism (PA) as an additional condition affecting this patient. Through the utilization of whole exome sequencing, we successfully identified a suspected pathogenic gene TTN as the underlying cause of the patient's condition. The presence of HCM accompanied by secondary hypertension due to PA resulted in significant enlargement of the left ventricle, particularly the ventricular septum. While certain genetic mutations may suggest a potential link to cardiomyopathy development, they cannot definitively establish a direct association between HCM and PA.
