Published: October 2023

Introduction: The process of smoking fish in Indonesia was still carried out traditionally and can affect the fishermen and smoked fish industry communities who have pulmonary TB. This study aims to apply the Florence Nightingale Theory in cases of pulmonary TB fishermen and smoked fish industry communities.
Materials and Methods: This study used an analytic observational method with a case-control design. This study used non-probability sampling and purposive sampling techniques with the sample. The number of respondents was 106 consisting of 53 respondents in the case group and 53 respondents in the control group. The data obtained were then analyzed using Chi-Square.
Results: The environment exposed to smoke from smoking fish has a p-value of 0.001 with OR 3.718, smoking habit has a p-value of 0.034 with OR 2.842, and window opening habit has a p-value of 0.000 with OR 0.391. Whereas, occupancy density and cooking fuel have no influence on the incidence of pulmonary TB as evidenced by statistical tests with a p-value of >0.005
Conclusion: The incidence of pulmonary TB in fisherman and smoked fish industry communities is influenced by environment exposed to smoke from smoking fish and window opening habit. This is following the emphasis of Nightingale's environmental theory stating that pure air and lighting are included in the main components influencing the environment.

ImportanceGestational diabetes is a common complication of pregnancy and the optimal management is uncertain.ObjectiveTo test whether early initiation of metformin reduces insulin initiation or improves fasting hyperglycemia at gestation weeks 32 or 38.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsDouble-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in 2 centers in Ireland (one tertiary hospital and one smaller regional hospital). Participants were enrolled from June 2017 through September 2022 and followed up until 12 weeks’ postpartum. Participants comprised 510 individuals (535 pregnancies) diagnosed with gestational diabetes based on World Health Organization 2013 criteria.InterventionsRandomized 1:1 to either placebo or metformin (maximum dose, 2500 mg) in addition to usual care.Main Outcomes And MeasuresThe primary outcome was a composite of insulin initiation or a fasting glucose level of 5.1 mmol/L or greater at gestation weeks 32 or 38.ResultsAmong 510 participants (mean age, 34.3 years), 535 pregnancies were randomized. The primary composite outcome was not significantly different between groups and occurred in 150 pregnancies (56.8%) in the metformin group and 167 pregnancies (63.7%) in the placebo group (between-group difference, −6.9% [95% CI, −15.1% to 1.4%]; relative risk, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.78-1.02]; P = .13). Of 6 prespecified secondary maternal outcomes, 3 favored the metformin group, including time to insulin initiation, self-reported capillary glycemic control, and gestational weight gain. Secondary neonatal outcomes differed by group, with smaller neonates (lower mean birth weights, a lower proportion weighing &amp;gt;4 kg, a lower proportion in the &amp;gt;90% percentile, and smaller crown-heel length) in the metformin group without differences in neonatal intensive care needs, respiratory distress requiring respiratory support, jaundice requiring phototherapy, major congenital anomalies, neonatal hypoglycemia, or proportion with 5-minute Apgar scores less than 7.Conclusion and relevanceEarly treatment with metformin was not superior to placebo for the composite primary outcome. Prespecified secondary outcome data support further investigation of metformin in larger clinical trials.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02980276; EudraCT: 2016-001644-19
Long‐Term Infrared Stealth by Sandwich‐Like Phase‐Change Composites at Elevated Temperatures via Synergistic Emissivity and Thermal Regulation
Authors: Jing Jianwei , Liu Huan , Wang Xiaodong 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe rapid development of infrared surveillance technologies has attracted great attention for scientists to design advanced functional materials with prominent infrared stealth and thermal camouflage effectiveness. In the current study, a sandwich‐like functional composite based on a crosslinked polyimide aerogel, a meso‐erythritol (mE)‐based phase‐change composite, and an MXene film has been developed to achieve long‐term thermal camouflage at elevated temperatures. In this composite system, the lower aerogel layer can act as a barrier to insulate heat transfer through its layer‐stacking structure under ultralow directional thermal conduction. The introduction of the middle phase‐change composite layer ensures that the composite system obtains a dynamical temperature‐regulation capability through sensible and latent heat absorption of mE as a phase change material, while the upper MXene layer provides a very low emissivity surface for the system. As a result, the developed composite achieves a significant reduction in the thermal radiation temperature of a high‐temperature target. Moreover, the MXene film exhibits good electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, making the sandwich‐like composite obtain a thermal camouflage capability in various complicated scenarios. This work provides a promising approach for the design of advanced functional materials to realize long‐term infrared stealth and thermal camouflage of high‐temperature targets in security protection and counter‐surveillance.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMaterials are the fundament of the physical world, whereas information and its exchange are the centerpieces of the digital world. Their fruitful synergy offers countless opportunities for realizing desired digital transformation processes in the physical world of materials. Yet, to date, a perfect connection between these worlds is missing. From the perspective, this can be achieved by overcoming the paradigm of considering materials as passive objects and turning them into perceptual, information‐providing matter. This matter is capable of communicating associated digitally stored information, for example, its origin, fate, and material type as well as its intactness on demand. Herein, the concept of realizing perceptual, information‐providing matter by integrating customizable (sub‐)micrometer‐sized communicating supraparticles (CSPs) is presented. They are assembled from individual nanoparticulate and/or (macro)molecular building blocks with spectrally differentiable signals that are either robust or stimuli‐susceptible. Their combination yields functional signal characteristics that provide an identification signature and one or multiple stimuli‐recorder features. This enables CSPs to communicate associated digital information on the tagged material and its encountered stimuli histories upon signal readout anywhere across its life cycle. Ultimately, CSPs link the materials and digital worlds with numerous use cases thereof, in particular fostering the transition into an age of sustainability.

AbstractPhotoactive transition‐metal complexes are luminophores combining high photostability and long luminescence lifetimes. However, reduced optical performance in aqueous solutions has limited their use in biological systems. Herein, the physicochemical and photophysical properties and bioimaging compatibility of Re diimine complexes and near‐infrared (NIR) emitting Cy5 dyes coencapsulated in polymer nanoparticles (NPs) are investigated. By varying the polymers, NPs with sizes from 20 to 70 nm and encapsulating ≤ 40 wt.% of Re complexes, i.e., ≈11 000 Re complexes per NP, are obtained. The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields of the Re complexes increase eightfold to ≈50% upon encapsulation (vs 6–7% in acetonitrile), resulting in PL brightness up to 108 m−1 cm−1 and PL lifetimes of 3–4 µs. Coencapsulation of Cy5 yields very bright NIR emission upon Re complex excitation. Very close Re‐to‐Cy5 donor–acceptor distances down to ≤2 nm and FRET efficiencies over 90% are confirmed by PL lifetime measurements. The Re‐Cy5 NPs enter mammalian cells for high‐contrast PL imaging in both visible and NIR. This detailed characterization provides a better understanding of the photophysical properties of the transition‐metal‐dye FRET NPs and presents a vital step toward the efficient design of a new class of bright luminescent NP probes.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMost current visual pressure sensing devices are greatly limited by less integrated functions. To address this issue, a multi‐dimensional pressure interactive visual monitoring device is proposed based on the temperature and humidity adaptive hydrogel. Specifically, this device is composed of a buffer grid layer that divides it into pressure sensing and luminous display areas. With a double network structure incorporated with a LiBr liquid, the pressure sensing area demonstrates great deformability, resilience, and self‐absorption. In a dynamic mode, the best pressure can be detected at high humidity and low temperature, displaying a range of up to 45 N and offering feedback at a minimum load of 0.25 N. Importantly, the performance of the device remains excellent even after the dynamic compression repeating over 1300 cycles. In static mode, MPI‐ACEL achieves a delay time of up to 390 min. Finally, it is anticipated that this multifunctional device will provide a new, flexible, and effective scheme for visual pressure sensing, environmental adaptive directional indication, and multi‐dimensional remote monitoring.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe anti‐tumor immune response relies on interactions among tumor cells and immune cells. However, the molecular mechanisms by which tumor cells regulate DCs as well as DCs regulate T cells remain enigmatic. Here, the authors identify a super signaling complex in DCs that mediates the Arf1‐ablation‐induced anti‐tumor immunity. They find that the Arf1‐ablated tumor cells release OxLDL, HMGB1, and genomic DNA, which together bound to a coreceptor complex of CD36/TLR2/TLR6 on DC surface. The complex then is internalized into the Rab7‐marked endosome in DCs, and further joined by components of the NF‐κB, NLRP3 inflammasome and cGAS‐STING triple pathways to form a super signal complex for producing different cytokines, which together promote CD8+ T cell tumor infiltration, cross‐priming and stemness. Blockage of the HMGB1‐gDNA complex or reducing expression in each member of the coreceptors or the cGAS/STING pathway prevents production of the cytokines. Moreover, depletion of the type I IFNs and IL‐1β cytokines abrogate tumor regression in mice bearing the Arf1‐ablated tumor cells. These findings reveal a new molecular mechanism by which dying tumor cells releasing several factors to activate the triple pathways in DC for producing multiple cytokines to simultaneously promote DC activation, T cell infiltration, cross‐priming and stemness.

AbstractCrossbar circuits based on two terminal (2T) memristors typically require an additional unit such as a transistor for individual node selection. A memristive device with gate‐tunable synaptic functionalities will not only integrate selection functionality at the cell level but can also lead to enriched on‐demand learning schemes. Here, a three‐terminal (3T) mixed‐halide perovskite memristive device with gate‐tunable synaptic functions operating at low potentials is demonstrated. The device operation is controlled by both the drain (VD) and gate (VG) potentials, with an extended endurance of >2000 cycles and a state retention of >5000 s. Applying a voltage (Vset) of 20 V across the 50 µm channel switches its conductance from a high‐resistance state (HRS) to a low‐resistance state (LRS). A memristive switching mechanism is proposed that is supported by current injection models through a Schottky barrier and Kelvin probe force microscopy data. The simultaneous application of a VG potential is found to further modulate the channel conductance and reduce the operating Vset to 2 V, thus requiring a low electric field of 400 V cm−1, which is by a factor of 50× less compared to state‐of‐the‐art literature reports. Gate‐tunable retention, endurance, and synaptic functionalities are demonstrated, further highlighting the beneficial effect of VG on device operation.

AbstractIdentifying high‐efficiency photocatalysts for producing hydrogen peroxide from H2O and O2 is a promising yet challenging research direction for achieving solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion and storage. Herein, 14 experimentally feasible 2D covalent triazine/heptazine‐based frameworks (CTFs/CHFs) are constructed with phosphorus‐alkynyl/phosphorus‐alkynyl‐phenyl functional moieties through topological assembly and four promising visible‐light‐driven photocatalysts for H2O2 production from H2O and O2 via first‐principles computations are filtered out: CTF‐1 based on triazine and phosphorus‐acetylene, CTF‐2 based on triazine and phosphorus‐diacetylene, CHF‐1 based on heptazine and phosphorus‐acetylene, and CHF‐2 based on heptazine and phosphorus‐diacetylene. The computational results show that introducing electron‐rich phosphorus‐alkynyl moieties into CTFs/CHFs can effectively modulate their electronic structures, provide sufficient driving force for water oxidation, and facilitate O2 adsorption and activation, thereby significantly boosting the overall photocatalytic process. Among them, CHF‐1 and CHF‐2 exhibit the highest photocatalytic activity for H2O2 production at pH 7, and their ideal solar‐to‐chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency for H2O2 generation are theoretically estimated to be 26.06% and 35.37%, respectively, implying their great promise as photocatalysts for industrialized production of H2O2. The work presents a promising way for rationally designing and developing novel photocatalysts for H2O2 production, and provides new inspiration and reference for experimental research in this field.

AbstractThe triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) represents a burgeoning approach for harvesting ambient mechanical energy. However, practical applications suffer from the issues of insufficient charge density and material abrasion. Here, a rotational TENG that attains exceptional output performance and durability in mechanical energy harvesting and couples an ingenious coplanar charge pump by soft contact with a suspended electrostatic induction mode is presented. Thanks to the continuous and synchronous charge injection from the central charge pumping unit, the charge density can be up to 74.62 µC m−2, resulting in an outstanding peak power density of 20.72 W m−2. Moreover, the utilization of yielding polyester fur in the charge pumping unit as a tribo‐layer for soft contact decreases the material abrasion and then enhances durability and robustness. And the experimental results show that the TENG can maintain 99.2% electrical output after 100 000 operating cycles. With the optimized design, the prototype can continuously drive four commercial lamps rated 12 W in series. Furthermore, a wireless powering system is demonstrated to power the electronics, demonstrating an extensive application of the TENG. Given the compelling characteristics, this work is expected to provide a sound strategy for improving TENGs’ output and durability in the field of self‐powered sensor systems.

AbstractA series of binder‐free mordenite (MOR) zeolites were successfully prepared by hydrothermal conversion of shaped precursors containing aluminosilicate and MOR seeds. In the synthesis of seed crystals, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as a crystal growth inhibitor as well as a pore filler to adjust the morphology and introduce mesoporous pores. As a result, large aggregates, assembled nanosheets, and flowers‐like MOR were successfully synthesized with these MOR seeds. The effect of seed morphology on the performance of the binder‐free MOR was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption–desorption, and NH3‐TPD characterization techniques. It was found that the mesopore volume of formed MOR was positively correlated with those of the seeds. The synthesized binder‐free MOR showed high activity (0.28 g methyl acetate gcat−1 h−1), 100% selectivity, and high stability in dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation to methyl acetate, which can be attributed to the larger surface area and more mesopores. The synthesis of MOR nano‐assemblies via this cost‐effective strategy has a wide range of potential applications.

Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this study, LIonomers families based on phosphonium ILs have been successfully developed. These LIonomers are designed from the combination of various phosphonium‐based ionic liquids (PhILs) with different counter anions including tetradecyl (trihexyl) phosphonium bis (2,4,4‐trimethylpentyl) phosphinate (P+TMP), tributyl (ethyl) phosphonium diethyl phosphate (P+DEP), trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium chloride (P+Cl) and trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium acetate (P+Ac). Here, the interactions between maleic anhydride groups (MA) of the maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene (PPgMA) and PhILs within LIonomers have been investigated by NMR, whose intensity depends on the chemical nature of cation/anion pairs. Then, viscosity in the molten state was considered as a probe of the interaction intensity between polar groups of grafted polypropylenes and the phosphonium cation. The proper one can be tuned from the nature (P+TMP vs. P+Ac vs. P+Cl), from the steric hindrance, that is, relevant to the conformation of PhILs (P+DEP vs. P+TMP / P+Ac / P+Cl), and by MA content, as well as the extent of generated ionic chains from polar groups of matrices as “head” and associated anion/cation pairs. The effect of these generated ionic interactions on crystallization process and mechanical properties had been also investigated by DSC in non‐isothermal conditions, and tensile tests. Depending of the steric hindrance of the phosphonium ILs playing a key role on the interactions with PPgMA chains, an increase of the ductility versus a plasticizing effect can be obtained as function of the targeted applications.
