Wildlife and public perceptions of opportunities for psychological restoration in local natural settings
Authors: Johansson Maria , Hartig Terry , Frank Jens , Flykt Anders

Abstract

Wildlife might be important to psychologically restorative values and disvalues of nature, as interactions with wildlife could trigger both positive and negative feelings. Research on positive experiences of human–wildlife interactions has largely involved participants who voluntarily sought out wildlife experiences or it has addressed encounters with non‐threatening animals in urban green spaces. Less is known about the opportunities for psychological restoration in landscapes shared with mammals that are perceived to pose a threat to human activities and health.

This study provides a nuanced understanding of the role of wildlife in public perceptions of the restorative potential and experience of psychological restoration in local natural settings.

Twenty‐eight participants (15 women, 13 men, 18–75 years) took part in focus group interviews subject to a reflexive thematic analysis. As an analytical framework, we used a theoretical model for how people appraise the relevance, implications, coping potential and norm congruence of human–wildlife interactions and how such appraisals may support or hinder the restoration experienced in local natural settings.

Relevance appraisals revealed shifts in consideration of the presence of wildlife from an integrated part of the natural scenery (background) to a distinct figure (foreground).

Implication appraisals revealed that wildlife encounters would hinder the experienced psychological restoration if the animal was appraised as dangerous, disgusting, causing a nuisance or destructive. Wildlife encounters would promote restoration if the animal displayed attractive traits, features or fascinating behaviour or movements, and if it opened engaging interaction situations.

Coping strategies perceived as feasible to deal with negative implications of wildlife involved avoidance of the local natural setting, preparatory behaviour displayed before a visit and precautionary behaviour displayed during the visit.

Important public health effects might be gained if wildlife policy and management explicitly consider what animals mean to the perceived restorative potential of local natural settings.

AbstractAimsSurveys and research on the applications of the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) are important for understanding the current status and future development of this technology in China. This article aimed to investigate the status of hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement in China in 2022.MethodsWe investigated the overall status of HVPG technology in China—including hospital distribution, hospital level, annual number of cases, catheters used, average cost, indications, and current challenges by using online questionnaire. By counting the number and percentages of cases of these results, we hope to clarify the current status of HVPG measurements in China.ResultsAccording to the survey, 85 hospitals in China used HVPG technology in 2022 distributed across 29 provinces. A total of 4989 HVPG measurements were performed in all of the surveyed hospitals in 2022, of which 2813 cases (56.4%) were measured alone. The average cost of HVPG measurement was 5646.8 ± 2327.9 CNY. Of the clinical teams who performed the measurements (sometimes multiple per hospital), 94.3% (82/87) used the balloon method, and the majority of the teams (72.4%, 63/87) used embolectomy catheters.ConclusionsThis survey clarified the clinical application status of HVPG in China and confirmed that some medical institutions in China have established a foundation for this technology. It is still necessary to continue promoting and popularizing this technology in the future.

Authors: Duan Guanglei , Peng Yanbo 
Published: February 2024

AbstractFlow and sediment problem is one of the key factors which affect the dispatching operation and life of the Three Gorges Project (TGP). Many approaches have been employed to research the flow and sediment problems of the TGP during its demonstration, planning, design, construction and operation, and many important results have been obtained. To understand the progress of flow and sediment measurement in China's representative projects and the experience of sediment observation in super large reservoirs, the flow and sediment measurement of the TGP is mainly introduced in this paper. It includes the general situation of the TGP, the distribution of the hydrological station network, the measurement factors, the new measurement technology, and the sediment changes in the reservoir and downstream after the impoundment of the TGP. The sediment measurement results show that the basic situation of sediment problems is good, and these sediment problems may probably accumulate, develop, and transform over time, so they should be paid continuous attention.

AbstractWearable soft contact lens sensors for continuous and nondestructive intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring are highly desired as glaucoma and postoperative myopia patients grow, especially as the eyestrain crowd increases. Herein, a smart closed‐loop system is presented that combines a Ti3C2Tx MXene‐based soft contact lens (MX‐CLS) sensor, wireless data transmission units, display, and warning components to realize continuous and nondestructive IOP monitoring/real‐time display. The fabricated MX‐CLS device exhibits an extremely high sensitivity of 7.483 mV mmHg−1, good linearity on silicone eyeballs, excellent stability under long‐term pressure‐release measurement, sufficient transparency with 67.8% transmittance under visible illumination, and superior biocompatibility with no discomfort when putting the MX‐CLS sensor onto the Rabbit eyes. After integrating with the wireless module, users can realize real‐time monitoring and warning of IOP via smartphones, the demonstrated MX‐CLS device together with the IOP monitoring/display system opens up promising platforms for Ti3C2Tx materials as the base for multifunctional contact lens‐based sensors and continuous and nondestructive IOP measurement system.

Published: February 2024

AbstractSupported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), owing to their capacities in harnessing physicochemical properties of ionic liquid for exceptional CO2 solubility, have emerged as a promising platform for CO2 extraction. Despite great achievements, existing SILMs suffer from poor structural and performance stability under high‐pressure or long‐term operations, significantly limiting their applications. Herein, a one‐step and in situ interfacial polymerization strategy is proposed to elaborate a thin, mechanically‐robust, and highly‐permeable polyamide armor on the SILMs to effectively protect ionic liquid within porous supports, allowing for intensifying the overall stability of SILMs without compromising CO2 separation performance. The armored SILMs have a profound increase of breakthrough pressure by 105% compared to conventional counterparts without armor, and display high and stable operating pressure exceeding that of most SILMs previously reported. It is further demonstrated that the armored SILMs exhibit ultrahigh ideal CO2/N2 selectivity of about 200 and excellent CO2 permeation of 78 barrers upon over 150 h operation, as opposed to the full failure of CO2 separation performance within 36 h using conventional SILMs. The design concept of armor provides a flexible and additional dimension in developing high‐performance and durable SILMs, pushing the practical application of ionic liquids in separation processes.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAs the global population ages, bone diseases have become increasingly prevalent in clinical settings. These conditions often involve detrimental factors such as infection, inflammation, and oxidative stress that disrupt bone homeostasis. Addressing these disorders requires exogenous strategies to regulate the osteogenic microenvironment (OME). The exogenous regulation of OME can be divided into four processes: induction, modulation, protection, and support, each serving a specific purpose. To this end, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging focus in nanomedicine, which show tremendous potential due to their superior delivery capability. MOFs play numerous roles in OME regulation such as metal ion donors, drug carriers, nanozymes, and photosensitizers, which have been extensively explored in recent studies. This review presents a comprehensive introduction to the exogenous regulation of OME by MOF‐based nanomaterials. By discussing various functional MOF composites, this work aims to inspire and guide the creation of sophisticated and efficient nanomaterials for bone disease management.

AbstractExploring covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) with high capacitative activity is highly desirable and challenging. Herein, the S‐rich CTFs cathode is pioneeringly introduced in Zn‐ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZSC), achieving outstanding capacity and energy density, and satisfactory anti‐freezing flexibility. Specifically, the S‐bridged CTFs are synthesized by a bifunctional template‐catalytic strategy, where ZnCl2 serves as both the catalyst/solvent and in situ template to construct triazine frameworks with interconnected pores and layered gaps. The resultant CTFs (CTFS‐750) are employed as a reasonable pattern‐like system to more deeply scrutinize the synergistic effect of S‐bridged triazine and layered porous architecture for polymer‐based cathodes in Zn‐ion storage. The experimental results indicate that the adsorption barriers of Zn‐ions on CTFS‐750 are effectively weakened, and accessible Zn2+‐absorption sites provided by the C─S─C and C═N bonds have been confirmed via DFT calculations. Consequently, the CTFS‐750 cathode‐assembled ZSC displays an ultra‐high capacity of 211.6 mAh g−1 at 1.0 A g−1, an outstanding energy density of 202.7 Wh kg−1, and attractive cycling performance. Moreover, the resulting flexible ZSC device shows superior capacity, good adaptability, and satisfactory anti‐freezing behavior. This approach sheds new light on constructing advanced polymer‐based cathodes at the atom level and paves the way for fabricating high‐performance ZSC and beyond.

Published: February 2024

AbstractHydroxides are the archetype of layered crystals with metal‐oxygen (M‐O) octahedron units, which have been widely investigated as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. However, the better crystallinity of hydroxide materials, the more perfect octahedral symmetry and atomic ordering, resulting in the less exposed metal sites and limited electrocatalytic activity. Herein, a glassy state hydroxide material featuring with short‐range order and long‐range disorder structure is developed to achieve high intrinsic activity for OER. Specifically, a rapid freezing point precipitation method is utilized to fabricate amorphous multi‐component hydroxide. Owing to the freezing‐point crystallization environment and chaotic M‐O (M = Ni/Fe/Co/Mn/Cr etc.) structures, the as‐fabricated NiFeCoMnCr hydroxide exhibit a highly‐disordered glassy structure, as‐confirmed by X‐ray/electron diffraction, enthalpic response, and pair distribution function analysis. The as‐achieved glassy‐state hydroxide materials display a low OER overpotential of 269 mV at 20 mA cm−2 with a small Tafel slope of 33.3 mV dec−1, outperform the benchmark noble‐metal RuO2 catalyst (341 mV, 84.9 mV dec−1) . Operando Raman and density functional theory studies reveal that the glassy state hydroxide converted into disordered active oxyhydroxide phase with optimized oxygen intermediates adsorption under low OER overpotentials, thus boosting the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity.
ZIF‐8@CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals Formed by Conversion of Pb to CsPbBr3 in Bimetallic MOFs for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

Published: February 2024

AbstractPerovskite nanocrystals are embedded into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to create composites with high light absorption coefficients, tunable electronic properties, high specific surface area, and metal atom tunability for enhanced photocatalytic carban dioxide (CO2) reduction. However, existing perovskite‐MOF structures with a large particle size are achieved based on Pb source adsorption into the pores of MOFs, which can significantly break down the porous structure, thereby resulting in a decreased specific surface area and impacting CO2 adsorption. Herein, a novel perovskite‐MOF structure based on the synthesis of bimetallic Pb‐containing MOFs and post‐processing to convert Pb to CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) is proposed. It is discovered that the additional Pb is not introduced by adsorption, but instead engages in coordination and generates Pb‐N. The produced ZIF‐8@CsPbBr3 NCs are ≈40 nm and have an ultra‐high specific surface area of 1325.08 m2g−1, and excellent photovoltaic characteristics, which are beneficial for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The electronic conversion rate of composites is 450 mol g−1h−1, which is more than three times that of pure perovskites. Additionally, the superior reduction capacity is sustained after undergoing four cycles. Density Functional Thoery (DFT) simulations are used to explore the 3D charge density at the ZIF‐8@CsPbBr3 NCs interface to better understand the electrical structure.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the role of yes‐associated protein (YAP) in the radiotherapy sensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The clonogenic ability of ESCC cells was reduced after YAP silencing and radiotherapy. Overexpression of YAP promoted cell survival and had a synergistic effect with the hypoxic microenvironment. YAP was found to directly regulate hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α). Bioinformatics analysis revealed the involvement of YAP in modulating the tumor immune microenvironment. Inhibition of YAP expression reduced myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and influenced the immunosuppressive state, leading to radio resistance. These findings provide insights into the YAP‐HIF‐1α interaction and support YAP as a potential target for enhancing radiotherapy sensitivity in esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Purpose
People with severe mental illness (SMI) experience high levels of unemployment. We aimed to better understand the associations between clinical, social, and demographic inequality indicators and unemployment.

Methods
Data were extracted from de-identified health records of people with SMI in contact with secondary mental health services in south London, UK. A Natural Language Processing text-mining application was applied to extract information on unemployment in the health records. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess associations with unemployment, in people with SMI.

Results
Records from 19,768 service users were used for analysis, 84.9% (n = 16,778) had experienced unemployment. In fully adjusted models, Black Caribbean and Black African service users were more likely to experience unemployment compared with White British service users (Black Caribbean: aOR 1.62, 95% CI 1.45–1.80; Black African: 1.32, 1.15–1.51). Although men were more likely to have experienced unemployment relative to women in unadjusted models (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.26–1.47), differences were no longer apparent in the fully adjusted models (aOR 1.05, 95% CI 0.97–1.15). The presence of a non-affective (compared to affective) diagnosis (1.24, 1.13–1.35), comorbid substance use (2.02, 1.76–2.33), previous inpatient admissions (4.18, 3.71–4.70), longer inpatient stays (78 + days: 7.78, 6.34–9.54), and compulsory admissions (3.45, 3.04–3.92) were associated with unemployment, in fully adjusted models.

Conclusion
People with SMI experience high levels of unemployment, and we found that unemployment was associated with several clinical and social factors. Interventions to address low employment may need to also address these broader inequalities.
Orientierungswerte in der isometrischen Kraftdiagnostik
Authors: Schröder Jan , Reer Rüdiger 
Published: February 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Isometrische Kraftdiagnostik sichert im Rahmen orthopädisch-physiotherapeutischer Interventionen die Qualität der Wirksamkeit von Therapie und Rehabilitation. Zur klinischen Einordnung bedarf es dafür Referenz- oder zumindest Orientierungswerte für jedes einzelne Kraftdiagnosesystem, da direkte Vergleiche problematisch sind. Ob das auch für funktionelle Quotienten gilt, ist bislang kaum untersucht. In dieser Arbeit werden für zwei Kraftdiagnosesysteme Orientierungswerte für die isometrische Maximalkraft der Rumpf- und Kniegelenkbeugung, sowie -streckung und die daraus errechneten funktionellen Quotienten vorgestellt und im Hinblick auf ihre Reproduzierbarkeit und Vergleichbarkeit geprüft.

Methodik
In einer punktuellen Querschnittstudie wurden für 98 gesunde Erwachsene (47 Frauen, Alter 25,7±8,2 Jahre, BMI 23,3±2,6 kg/m2) Orientierungswerte (M, SD, Median, IQR, 5%- und 95%-Perzentile) für die isometrische Maximalkraft und funktionelle Quotienten der Rumpf- und Kniegelenkbeugung bzw. -streckung für zwei Diagnosesysteme (Myoline, Frei medical) ermittelt. Anhand von 20 Probanden (50 % Frauen) wurden gegenseitige Varianzaufklärung (r2) und Reproduzierbarkeit (ICC3.1, SEM, VK%) überprüft.

Ergebnisse
Beide Messsysteme ermöglichen reproduzierbare Krafttests (ICC3.1 0,76–0,95), die Quotienten waren weniger reliabel (ICC3.1 0,62–0,92). Die gegenseitige Varianzaufklärung (r2) der Krafttests variierte stark zwischen 19 und 68 %; für die Quotienten zwischen 5 und 21 %.

Diskussion
Die Testergebnisse der Krafttests von Myoline und Frei medical sind nicht miteinander vergleichbar, was insbesondere auch für die funktionellen Quotienten gilt. Jedes System für sich ist reliabel. Die gerätespezifischen auf das Körpergewicht relativierten Orientierungswerte sind für die Praxis nützlich.
