Análisis del voluntariado corporativo a través de un modelo DAFO
Authors: Lor Serrano Ana , Esteban-Salvador María Luisa 
Published: November 2023

El voluntariado corporativo está cobrando fuerza en el marco de la responsabilidad social corporativa y en su aplicación por algunas empresas. A través de un análisis de las debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades (DAFO) se pretende ahondar en los diversos aspectos de carácter negativo que pueden asociarse a este tipo de prácticas para atenuarlos, e incluso eliminarlos, así como del mismo modo proponer cómo impulsar los aspectos positivos: utilizar las oportunidades y dar a conocer las fortalezas, para potenciarlas, permitiendo a este tipo de políticas alcanzar su máximo desarrollo. Asimismo, se presenta un análisis comparativo para corregir, afrontar, mantener y explotar (CAME) los resultados, y de este modo proponer mejoras en el voluntariado de empresa o corporativo y facilitar la implementación de este tipo de políticas por las organizaciones empresariales. Desde el marco legislativo español el voluntariado corporativo se presenta como una práctica escasamente desarrollada, sin embargo, cuenta con importantes oportunidades y fortalezas que justifican el impulso para su implantación y puesta en práctica por parte de las empresas, dados sus beneficios contrastados, aunque no hay que obviar los posibles efectos adversos que podrían generar como consecuencia de su mal uso, no sólo para las empresas, sino también para las personas trabajadoras y en general todos los stakeholders implicados.
La transformación de las entidades asociativas en empresas sociales en su proceso de scaling up. La perspectiva financiera del tercer sector deportivo
Authors: Gonzalez-Rojas Antonio , Chaves Ávila Rafael 
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo analiza la relación entre el tamaño, la antigüedad y los procesos de scaling up en las entidades del tercer sector deportivo valenciano para hallar las pautas que los llevan a crecer y convertirse en empresas sociales. El estudio está basado en una encuesta de campo realizada a 520 organizaciones. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de entidades mantienen modelos organizativos simples y estructuras financieras rudimentarias que no les permiten iniciar procesos de crecimiento, manteniendo su tamaño original. Sin embargo, un porcentaje menor de organizaciones (aproximadamente el 25%) sí entran en procesos de expansión, desarrollando estructuras financieras más complejas, diversificando sus fuentes de financiación, aglutinando la mayoría de generación de empleo del sector y aumentando su impacto socioeconómico. Dentro de estas organizaciones se han hallado un total de tres modelos diferenciados, el primero surge de la alianza con administraciones públicas, obteniendo una parte importante de financiación del sector público y centrando sus actividades en la oferta de servicios deportivos a los ciudadanos; el segundo se orienta hacia la comercialización de bienes y servicios deportivos, logrando gran parte de sus fondos del mercado; en tercer lugar, existen organizaciones con un equilibrio entre la financiación propia, pública y de mercado, que muestran una mayor robustez al evitar dependencias excesivas de fuentes específicas. Por último, se ha identificado la presencia de un mecanismo híbrido de crecimiento que se apoya inicialmente en recursos públicos para tomar impulso y permitir el desarrollo interno necesario para lograr la conversión de estas organizaciones en empresas sociales.

Published: November 2023

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global priority in terms of commitment to the responsible development of society. This paper focuses on beekeeping as a strategic sector of the Argentine economy due to its important socio-economic and environmental impacts. The objective of this research is to analyze the practices of beekeeping entities in their alignment with the achievement of the SDGs (with a focus on SDGs 5, 8, 9, 12 and 17), paying special attention to the differential contribution of companies with cooperative formula. It focuses on actions related to work organization, production, innovation and market insertion. To this end, we used variable significance analysis for 2x2 matrices and multivariate factor analysis of multiple correspondences. The results obtained show that there is a positive alignment between the practices of beekeeping sector entities and SDG 5, SDG 12 and SDG 17, with a differential and positive trend for organizations with a cooperative formula. However, the results also show the future challenges faced by the sector, especially with regard to SDGs 8 and 9.

Published: November 2023

The article presents the potential for using artificial neural networks to support decisions related to the rebonding of green moulding sand. The basic properties of the moulding sand tested in foundries are discussed, especially compactibility as it gives the most information about the quality of green moulding sand. First, the data that can predict the compactibility value without the need for testing are defined. Next, a method for constructing an artificial neural network is presented and the network model which produced the best results is analysed. Additionally, two applications were designed to allow the investigation results to be searchable by determining the range of values of the moulding sand parameters.

Published: November 2023

Objective
The sequencing panel composed of 61 target genes was used to explore the related mutation genes of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) cancerization, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis of oral submucous fibrosis cancerization, find the most important mutations in OSF cancerization, and more targeted prevention of OSF cancerization.

Methods
A total of 74 clinically diagnosed samples were included, including 36 cases of OSCC and 38 cases of OSF cancer patients. DNA was extracted, and targeted gene panel sequencing technology was used to analyze the gene frequency of pathogenic mutation sites in clinical samples.

Results
Gene panel sequencing analysis showed that there were 69 mutations in 18 genes in OSCC and OSF cancerous specimens. The results of gene panel sequencing were screened, and 18 mutant genes were finally screened out and their mutation frequencies in the samples were analyzed. According to the frequency of gene mutations from high to low, they were TP53, FLT4, PIK3CA, CDKN2A, FGFR4, HRAS, BRCA1, PTPN11, NF1, KMT2A, RB1, PTEN, MSH2, MLH1, KMT2D, FLCN, BRCA2, APC. The mutation frequency of FLT4 gene was significantly higher than that of OSCC group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion
FLT4 gene may be related to OSF cancerization and is expected to be an early diagnostic biomarker for OSF cancerization.

Published: November 2023

AbstractNeuromorphic computers promise to enhance computing efficiency by eliminating conventional von Neumann architecture bottlenecks. Bio‐inspired artificial neural networks, such as feedforward neural networks and reservoir computing (RC), face challenges due to the unique memristor requirements. In this study, a dual‐gate ferroelectric polymer P(VDF–TrFE)‐coupled thin film transistor (DG–TFT) with an IGZO channel is presented. It yields complementary short‐ and long‐term memory functionalities are derived from the charge‐trapping/detrapping process at the IGZO‐SiO2 dielectric interface and ferroelectric polarization. These memory functionalities can be switched using different gated modes to meet the requirements of the reservoir and readout layers in RC. The bottom‐gated mode (BG‐mode) exhibits short‐term memory effects and nonlinear dynamics, whereas the top‐gated mode (TG‐mode) displays improved long‐term memory characteristics. To evaluate the long‐term memory properties, Python is used for pattern recognition. For the nonlinear dynamics and short‐term memory response of the BG‐mode, the DG–TFT is employed as a reservoir layer to handle various temporal tasks. Notably, the polarization level of the ferroelectric layer is coupled to improve the richness of the reservoir states, providing a reconfigurable RC system with an expanded capacity to effectively process and accommodate diverse signals. This holds potential for next‐generation hybrid intelligent applications.

AbstractCurrent therapies for the devastating damage caused by traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are limited. This is in part due to poor drug efficacy to modulate neuroinflammation, angiogenesis and/or promoting neuroprotection and is the combined result of challenges in getting drugs across the blood brain barrier, in a targeted approach. The negative impact of the injured extracellular matrix (ECM) has been identified as a factor in restricting post‐injury plasticity of residual neurons and is shown to reduce the functional integration of grafted cells. Therefore, new strategies are needed to manipulate the extracellular environment at the subacute phase to enhance brain regeneration. In this review, potential strategies are to be discussed for the treatment of TBI by using self‐assembling peptide (SAP) hydrogels, fabricated via the rational design of supramolecular peptide scaffolds, as an artificial ECM which under the appropriate conditions yields a supramolecular hydrogel. Sequence selection of the peptides allows the tuning of these hydrogels' physical and biochemical properties such as charge, hydrophobicity, cell adhesiveness, stiffness, factor presentation, degradation profile and responsiveness to (external) stimuli. This review aims to facilitate the development of more intelligent biomaterials in the future to satisfy the parameters, requirements, and opportunities for the effective treatment of TBI.

AbstractInsects pose significant challenges in cotton‐producing regions. Here, they describe a high‐throughput CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated large‐scale mutagenesis library targeting endogenous insect‐resistance‐related genes in cotton. This library targeted 502 previously identified genes using 968 sgRNAs, generated ≈2000 T0 plants and achieved 97.29% genome editing with efficient heredity, reaching upto 84.78%. Several potential resistance‐related mutants (10% of 200 lines) their identified that may contribute to cotton‐insect molecular interaction. Among these, they selected 139 and 144 lines showing decreased resistance to pest infestation and targeting major latex‐like protein 423 (GhMLP423) for in‐depth study. Overexpression of GhMLP423 enhanced insect resistance by activating the plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) of salicylic acid (SA) and pathogenesis‐related (PR) genes. This activation is induced by an elevation of cytosolic calcium [Ca2+]cyt flux eliciting reactive oxygen species (ROS), which their demoted in GhMLP423 knockout (CR) plants. Protein‐protein interaction assays revealed that GhMLP423 interacted with a human epidermal growth factor receptor substrate15 (EPS15) protein at the cell membrane. Together, they regulated the systemically propagating waves of Ca2+ and ROS, which in turn induced SAR. Collectively, this large‐scale mutagenesis library provides an efficient strategy for functional genomics research of polyploid plant species and serves as a solid platform for genetic engineering of insect resistance.

AbstractThe long‐term reversible plating/stripping of Zn metal anode is a critical aspect within aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs). However, it is limited by uncontrolled electrodeposition and side reactions occurring at the anode/electrolyte interface. Guided by the metal‐coordination chemistry, a novel additive, sodium diphenylamine sulfonate (DASS), is added into ZnSO4 electrolyte to guide stably invertible zinc deposition. Theoretical calculations and experimental results reveal that the DASS can adsorbed on the Zn anode surface due to the strong double coordination effect between N, S sites and Zn (Zn─N, Zn─S), and this adsorbed DASS layer can not only prevent the intimate contact between H2O and anode to inhibit interfacial side reactions, but also guide the 3D Zn2+ion diffusion and uniform electrodeposition to inhibit zinc dendrites. Consequently, the DASS additive enables an ultra‐long stable cycling up to 2400 h at 1 mA cm−2 (1 mAh cm−2), even at an ultra‐high current density of 20 mA cm−2, a stable cycling of 250 h is demonstrated, highlighting the reliable coordination effect at the anode/electrolyte interface. This study offers a new perspective on the interfacial double‐coordination effect for achieving highly reversible Zn metal anodes in aqueous rechargeable zinc‐ion batteries.

Published: November 2023

AbstractPremiseDryland ecosystems in the western United States are affected by invasive species, wildfires, livestock grazing, and climate change in ways that are difficult to distinguish. Biocrusts perform important ecological roles in these systems and are sensitive to all of these pressures.MethodsWe revisited a Washington, USA, site sampled for biocrusts in 1999 to focus on effects of exotic annual grass invasion and wildfires in the absence of livestock grazing. We examined changes between 1999 and 2020 using a Bayesian directed acyclic graph (DAG) to interpret direct and indirect causal impacts of wildfire on perennial bunchgrasses, exotic annual grasses, and biocrusts.ResultsBetween 1999 and 2020, exotic annual grass cover increased in all plots and in unburned plots by 16% and 18%, respectively, bunchgrass cover decreased by 21% and 25%, and biocrust cover decreased by 8.9% and 9.8%. Our DAG suggested that decreases in bunchgrass increased exotic annual grass, which reduced biocrust cover. Wildfires did not directly influence changes in bunchgrass, exotic annual grass, or biocrust cover. Areas dominated by exotic annual grass had less abundant and diverse biocrusts than areas with less exotic annual grass.ConclusionsBiocrust community changes were more strongly related to increasing exotic annual grasses than to wildfires. Changes may relate to other soil disturbances or broad‐scale changes in climate or air quality. The minimal influence of wildfire on exotic annual grass and biocrusts suggests that apparent negative impacts of wildfire at other sites may be due to exacerbation by livestock grazing or other surface disturbance.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThree‐dimensional paper‐based microfluidic devices have shown great potential in various applications, including point‐of‐care diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and tissue engineering. However, their fabrication is still limited to stacking and origami methods. Inspired by the art of bamboo braiding in China, we developed a novel fabrication technique based on the braiding concept to create three‐dimensional paper‐based microfluidic devices with PDMS‐impregnated paper substrate as the building units. The resulting three‐dimensional paper device brings unique advantages, including compactness, facile disassembly, and real‐time flow visualization. The multiplexed glucose analysis with a braided device integrated with 16‐switchable valves for flow control was further fabricated to demonstrate the device‘s applicability. We envision braiding‐based fabrication technology opening new possibilities and bringing broad applications for three‐dimensional paper microfluidic devices.

AbstractHerein, we report a facile preparation method for mechanically robust and thermally enhanced sand‐polyacrylamide (PAM)‐2D‐nanofillers composite hydrogels and their application in water shutoff. To prepare the sample, 4 wt% of aqueous PAM solution is mixed with organic cross‐linkers of hydroquinone (HQ) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) in a 1:1 weight ratio and aqueous potassium chloride (KCl) solution and with a specific amount of 2D‐nanofillers such as commercial graphene (CG) nanosheets or boron nitride nanoparticles (BN NPs). A specific amount of the above solution is added to sand, well mixed, and subsequently cured at 150°C for 8 h. The prepared composite hydrogels were characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) for chemical composition and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) for successful hydrogel coating onto the sand particles. Thermal stabilities of the samples have been evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Mechanical properties (storage modulus [G′]; loss modulus [G″]; gel strength (G′/G″); and damping factor [G″/G′]) of the samples were determined using dynamic mechanical analyses. The thermal stability of the samples has reached as high as 193.4°C, while the gel strength is found to be a maximum of 16.2. The water swelling ratio for the composite hydrogel has reached a maximum of 1100% within 1 h.

AbstractDer grüne Offshore‐Windstrom wird vorrangig dezentral im Norden Deutschlands erzeugt. Um eine sichere Stromversorgung zu gewährleisten, muss der grüne Strom in die übrigen Landesteile transportiert werden. Bezogen auf den Stromtransport sind die 525‐kV‐Gleichstrom‐Erdkabelvorhaben SuedOstLink und SuedLink zu nennen. Gekoppelte thermisch‐hydraulische Modelle sind effektive Planungstools, um Hochspannungs‐Gleichstrom‐Übertragungs‐Erdkabeltrassen (HGÜ) technisch zu planen und umweltgerecht zu gestalten. Damit verbunden ist die Bewertung der Auswirkungen der betriebsbedingten Wärmeimmissionen auf die Schutzgüter Boden, Wasser, Flora und Fauna sowie die landwirtschaftlichen Belange. Die Lösung der mit einem Modell einhergehenden zeitabhängigen und nichtlinearen wärme‐, dichte‐, porenraum‐ und wassergehaltsabhängigen Differenzialgleichungen erfordert spezielle numerische Lösungsansätze und ‐prozesse, um eine entsprechende örtliche und zeitliche Auflösung zu erhalten. Für die korrekte Berechnung des Wärme‐ und hydraulischen Massentransports im Boden müssen – neben der Bodenwärme und dem gekoppelten Wasser‐ und Wasserdampftransport – auch die atmosphärischen Randbedingungen, die vegetationsabhängigen Verdunstungsparameter und die vom HGÜ‐Erdkabel ausgehenden Wärmeimmissionen berücksichtigt werden. Zusätzlich zur Simulation ist eine Analyse der Sensitivität der Modellparameter und Modellrandbedingungen zu berücksichtigen, um realitätsnahe Modellergebnisse zu erhalten. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Prozessabläufe eines thermisch‐hydraulischen Modells anhand eines synthetischen Beispiels eines 525‐kV‐Gleichstrom‐Erdkabelvorhabens zusammenhängend dargestellt.
Anti‐Entropy Aggregation of Minority Groups in Polymers: Design and Applications
Authors: Gao Longcheng 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMinority groups are non‐repeating units with very low content that inevitably exist in polymers. Typically, these minority groups are easily surrounded by the majority of repeating units and randomly dispersed, maximizing the entropy of minority groups. In the concept, anti‐entropy aggregation (AEA) of minority groups is described, and different pathways are outlined. They are polymer crystallization‐driven AEA, supramolecular interaction‐induced AEA, phase separation‐confined AEA, and hierarchical interactions‐driven AEA. Typical applications of AEA materials are also presented, including fluorescence probes, self‐healing materials, ion transporting regulation, and osmotic energy conversion. The concept of AEA is expected to inspire the fabrication of novel functional systems.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe urgent need to reduce the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere and keep the effects of climate change manageable has brought the concept of carbon capture and utilization to the forefront of scientific research. Amongst the promising pathways for this conversion, sunlight‐powered photothermal processes, synergistically using both thermal and non‐thermal effects of light, have gained significant attention. Research in this field focuses both on the development of catalysts and continuous‐flow photoreactors, which offer significant advantages over batch reactors, particularly for scale‐up. Here, we focus on sunlight‐driven photothermal conversion of CO2 to chemical feedstock CO and CH4 as synthetic fuel. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in the development of photothermal catalysts and continuous‐flow photoreactors and outlines the remaining challenges in these areas. Furthermore, it provides insight in additional components required to complete photothermal reaction systems for continuous production (e. g., solar concentrators, sensors and artificial light sources). In addition, our review emphasizes the necessity of integrated collaboration between different research areas, like chemistry, material science, chemical engineering, and optics, to establish optimized systems and reach the full potential of this technology.
