Authors: Sharma Aditi , Pandit Devanshi , Choudhary Kartikeya , Bochalya Ranjeet Singh 
Published: October 2023

The nutrient applied is not readily available to the plants due to soil salinity; a sufficient quantity is leached or fixed in the soil. Balanced application of fertilizer like nitrogen and phosphorus play vital role in enhancing the yield of sesame. Nitrogen is a structural component of chlorophyll and protein therefore adequate supply of nitrogen is beneficial for both carbohydrates and protein metabolism as it promotes cell division and cell enlargement, resulting in more leaf area and thus ensuring good seed and dry matter yield. The present investigation was conducted during kharif season of 2022 at Chamelti Agriculture Farm, MS Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction with EC in safe range, medium in organic carbon, available nitrogen, potassium and high in available phosphorus. The field experiment way laid out in factorial randomized block design comprising sixteen treatments with three replication. The experiment consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1) and four level of phosphorus (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg ha-1). RT-127 variety of test crop was used for sowing. This study concluded that application of 60 kg N ha-1 along with 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 was recorded significantly higher plant height, numbers of branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation and oil content. Economically, application of 60 kg N ha-1 along with 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 resulted in higher gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio.

UMA ANÁLISE SOCIOTERMINOLÓGICA DE SINAIS-TERMO EM UM DICIONÁRIO DE LIBRAS
Authors: Souza José Marcos Rosendo de , Mendes Wellington Vieira 
Published: October 2023

A Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) adentrou as diferentes esferas científicas graças ao seu reconhecimento enquanto língua das Comunidades Surdas brasileiras, pela Lei 10.436 de abril de 2002. Com isso, o seu estatuto linguístico se fortaleceu e, hoje, ela se tornou objeto de estudo em diferentes áreas do conhecimento especializado. Então, é comum que os sinais-termo como parte de seu repertório terminológico estejam localizados em diferentes espaços técnico-científicos. Logo, é possível haver diferentes Unidades Terminológicas em Libras (UTL) para se referir a um mesmo objeto científico. Desse modo, nos propomos com esse estudo analisar, sob o viés da Socioterminologia, sinais-termo que apresentam variação terminológica registrados em um dicionário de Libras. O que contribui diretamente para o alargamento dos estudos da Socioterminologia aplicados à Língua Brasileira de Sinais, área pouco explorada na esfera científica. Nos respaldamos principalmente nos postulados sobre Socioterminologia propostos por Faulstich (2006). Os sinais-termo analisados apresentam variação do tipo fonológica e morfológica, pois ora são alterados os parâmetros formacionais, ora apresentam supressão de itens lexicais na sua forma. A variação terminológica decorre de fatores como diferença na sinalização dos sinais-termo, contexto de comunicação especializada e espaço geográfico.

ImportanceThose responsible for medical education—specialties, sponsoring institutions, and program directors (PD)—are independently associated with the professional identity formation of the trainees with respect to potential conflicts of interest.ObjectiveTo identify the relative degree to which factors in the training environment are associated with resident acceptance of payments from pharmaceutical and medical device companies.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsCross-sectional, retrospective study of residents enrolled in the 3 largest primary-care specialties (internal medicine [IM], family medicine [FM], obstetrics and gynecology [OBGYN]) and 3 largest surgical disciplines (general surgery [GS], orthopedic surgery, and urology) during academic year 2020 to 2021. All analyses were conducted January through August 2023.ExposuresSpecialty, sponsoring institutions’ ownership (nonprofit, for-profit, federal government, local government, or state government), and the number of payments PDs accepted.Main outcomes and measuresModified Poisson regression assessed the relative risk of ownership, specialty, and PD behavior on residents’ acceptance of industry payments as recorded in the Open Payments Program (OPP) database.ResultsIn total, there were 124 715 residents in all training programs during 2020 to 2021, 12% of whom received payments totaling $6.4 million. There were 65 992 residents in training during 2020 to 2021 in the 6 specialties evaluated in this study, with 4438 in orthopedics, 1779 in urology, 9177 in GS, 5819 in OBGYN, 14 493 in FM, and 30 286 in IM. OPP records $3.9 million in payments to the 8750 residents (13.4%) who received at least 1 industry payment. The record of all payments to residents in OPP totals $6.4 million. Compared with residents in federal sponsoring institutions, those affiliated with for-profit institutions were 3.50 (95% CI, 2.32-5.28) times more likely to accept industry payments, while those affiliated with nonprofit organizations were 2.00 (95% CI, 1.36-2.93) times more likely to accept payments. Compared with IM, residents in each of the following specialties have an elevated risk of accepting payments: orthopedics, 3.21 (95% CI, 2.73-3.77) times; urology, 2.95 (95% CI, 2.44-3.56) times; GS, 1.21 (95% CI, 1.00-1.45) times; OBGYN, 1.30 (95% CI, 1.05-1.62) times. The difference in the risk of accepting a payment between FM and IM residents was not statistically significant. The number of payments PDs accepted slightly elevated the risk of residents to accept a payment by 1.01 (95% CI, 1.01-1.01).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cross-sectional, retrospective study, receipt of industry payments by residents was associated with specialty, institutional control, and PD behavior.
Desensitization to hate speech: Examination using heart rate measurement
Authors: Soral Wiktor , Świderska Aleksandra , Puchała Dominik , Bilewicz Michał 
Published: October 2023

AbstractExposure to hate speech (HS) leads to desensitization of listeners. Yet, most evidence of this process has been obtained using self‐report measures. In this paper, we examined desensitization to HS using an unobtrusive, psychophysiological measure. In an experimental electrocardiogram study (N = 56), we observed heart rate (HR) deceleration after reading comments that contained HS. This suggested a substantive psychophysiological reaction of participants to hateful comments. However, such HR deceleration was not observed among participants preexposed to HS. People exposed to hateful comments thus appeared to show different HR responses to HS compared to people who were not previously exposed to such comments. Consequently, not only does frequent exposure to HS influence an individual's beliefs as observed in earlier studies, but it also impacts psychophysiological reactions to derogatory language.

Published: October 2023

AbstractStem cells are invaluable resources for personalized medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received great attention as therapeutic tools due to being a safe, ethical, and accessible option with immunomodulatory and controlled differentiation properties. Apelin receptor (Aplnr) signaling is reported to be involved in biological events, including gastrulation, mesoderm migration, proliferation of MSCs. However, the knowledge about the exact role and mechanism of Aplnr signaling during mesoderm and MSCs differentiation is still primitive. The current study aims to unveil the role of Aplnr signaling during mesoderm and MSC differentiation from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) through peptide/small molecule activation, overexpression, knock down or CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knock out of the pathway components. Morphological changes, gene and protein expression analysis, including antibody array, LC/MS, mRNA/miRNA sequencing, reveal that Aplnr signaling promotes mesoderm commitment possibly via EGFR and TGF‐beta signaling pathways and enhances migration of cells during mesoderm differentiation. Moreover, Aplnr signaling positively regulates MSCs differentiation from hPSCs and increases MSC characteristics and differentiation capacity by regulating pathways, such as EGFR, TGFβ, Wnt, PDGF, and FGF. Osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, and myogenic differentiations are significantly enhanced with Aplnr signaling activity. This study generates an important foundation to generate high potential MSCs from PSCs to be used in personalized cell therapy.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPlasmonic nanostructures that generate hot carriers and induce catalytic chemical transformations are ideal candidates for solar energy utilization. However, the existing nanostructures require multistep synthesis procedures and generate fewer hot carriers due to their narrow resonance region and limited hotspots, restricting their usage in plasmonic catalysis. Inspired by the light‐harvesting behavior of the trees, the current work reports a one‐step fabrication strategy via electrodeposition for direct anisotropic growth of the 3D gold nanotrees with tunable size, branches, and height. The as‐synthesized nanostructures with broadband light absorption and plentiful hotspots can significantly foster hot carrier generation. The improved hot electron generation of 3D gold nanotrees is confirmed by in situ surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the dimerization reaction of 4‐nitrothiophenol. The energetic hot holes generated by the 3D gold nanotrees facilitate water oxidation and exhibit 18.6 times higher catalytic efficiency than Au film under 625 nm. Meanwhile, the photoelectrochemical catalysis of 3D gold nanotrees shows better performance compared with conventional Au nanospheres. This work opens up a promising avenue for fundamental studies of plasmonic catalysis via a wide variety of 3D gold nanotrees.

Published: October 2023

AbstractLiquid metals (LMs) with their unique properties are considered for a range of applications such as energy storage, catalysis, electronics, and biomedical engineering. Recently, the introduction of LMs into rechargeable batteries has not only proven to improve overall performance but also overcome commonly known challenges like low energy density, material degradation, interface failure, and poor system integrity. Specifically, room‐temperature LMs such as gallium (Ga), Ga‐based alloys (GBAs), and metallic mercury (Hg) are promising candidates in rechargeable batteries due to their low viscosity, high electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent deformability, superior electrochemical properties, and self‐healing capability. Herein, a review of recent advances in LMs for rechargeable batteries, starting with a brief introduction to LMs fundamentals and their properties is presented. Then, an extensive literature review is carried out to summarize the LMs’ advances in addressing existing challenges of lithium‐ion, lithium‐metal, lithium–sulfur, and other rechargeable batteries. The current state of the art and future perspective are also put forward. It is believed that highlighting potential developments pertaining to LMs can fascinate researchers in exploring them for future rechargeable batteries.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe loss or failure of an organ/tissue stands as one of the healthcare system's most prevalent, devastating, and costly challenges. Strategies for neural tissue repair and regeneration have received significant attention due to their particularly strong impact on patients' well‐being. Many research efforts are dedicated not only to control the disease symptoms but also to find solutions to repair the damaged tissues. Neural tissue engineering (TE) plays a key role in addressing this problem and significant efforts are being carried out to develop strategies for neural repair treatment. In the last years, active materials allowing to tune cell–materials interaction are being increasingly used, representing a recent paradigm in TE applications. Among the most important stimuli influencing cell behavior are the electrical and mechanical ones. In this way, materials with the ability to provide this kind of stimuli to the neural cells seem to be appropriate to support neural TE. In this scope, this review summarizes the different biomaterials types used for neural TE, highlighting the relevance of using active biomaterials and electrical stimulation. Furthermore, this review provides not only a compilation of the most relevant studies and results but also strategies for novel and more biomimetic approaches for neural TE.

Published: October 2023

AbstractSide reactions on zinc metal (Zn) anodes are formidable issues that cause limited battery life of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs). Here, a facile and controllable layer‐by‐layer (LbL) self‐assembly technique is deployed to construct an ion‐conductive and mechanically robust electrolyte/anode interface for stabilizing the Zn anode. The LbL film consists of two natural and biodegradable bio‐macromolecules, chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (SA). It is shown that such an LbL film tailors the solvation sheath of Zn ions and facilitates the oriented deposition of Zn. Symmetric cells with the four double layers of CS/SA ((CS/SA)4–Zn) exhibit stable cycles for over 6500 h. The (CS/SA)4–Zn||H2V3O8 coin cell maintains a specific capacity of 125.5 mAh g−1 after 14 000 cycles. The pouch cell with an electrode area of 5 × 7 cm2 also presents a capacity retention of 83% for over 500 cycles at 0.1 A g−1. No obvious dendrites are observed after long cycles in both symmetric and full cells. Given the cost‐effective material and fabrication, and environmental friendliness of the LbL films, this Zn protection strategy may boost the industrial application of AZIBs.

Published: October 2023

AbstractSlippery surfaces (i.e., surfaces that display high liquid droplet mobility) are receiving significant attention due to their biofluidic applications. Non‐textured, all‐solid, slippery hydrophilic (SLIC) surfaces are an emerging class of rare and counter‐intuitive surfaces. In this work, the interactions of blood and bacteria with SLIC surfaces are investigated. The SLIC surfaces demonstrate significantly lower platelet and leukocyte adhesion (≈97.2% decrease in surface coverage), and correspondingly low platelet activation, as well as significantly lower bacterial adhesion (≈99.7% decrease in surface coverage of live Escherichia Coli and ≈99.6% decrease in surface coverage of live Staphylococcus Aureus) and proliferation compared to untreated silicon substrates, indicating their potential for practical biomedical applications. The study envisions that the SLIC surfaces will pave the path to improved biomedical devices with favorable blood and bacteria interactions.
The Effect of the Relative Size of the Exciton Reservoir on Polariton Photophysics

Published: October 2023

AbstractStrong interactions between excitons and photons lead to the formation of exciton‐polaritons, which possess different properties compared to their constituents. Polaritons are created by incorporating a dye in an optical cavity where the electromagnetic field is tightly confined. The interest in the subject has exploded in recent years due to the ability to change (photo)chemistry, but still as simple a variable as the yield of emission varies between studies. For the field to progress, linking observables to system parameters is a dire need. Here, the study pairs emission yield to the size of the so‐called exciton reservoir, which dictates polariton relaxation dynamics. To do this, a method is devised to experimentally control the relative size of the exciton reservoir and link it to the yield of emission. Thus, the results enable comparison of the photophysics of previous studies within the field and provide the tools to study the effect of the exciton reservoir on polariton photochemistry.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAntibiotics have successfully been developed and used widely in clinical therapeutics for many years to treat bacterial infections, resulting in their unregulated discharge into waterbodies, which adversely affects the flora and fauna. This triggers alarming health issues that ascertain the need to develop suitable sensors for the detection and removal of persitent antibiotic pollutants. Several reports have been made on lanthanide‐based luminescent metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) as one of the best‐known chemosensors that render efficient and selective detection of antibiotics owing to their intrinsic luminescent response. Herein, the recent advancements in lanthanide‐based MOFs for recognizing antibiotics are reviewed with a detailed discussion on the mechanistic routes of detection. Also, the possible transitions between the energy levels of lanthanides and the unique photophysical attributes of lanthanide‐organic hybrids are critically assessed. Further, the performance of the reported chemosensors based on their detection range, the limit of detection, stability, reproducibility, and practical feasibility are extensively explored. These unique aspects of this review provide a solid prospect for designing innovative and ingenious fluorescent probes.
