AbstractRoom‐temperature sodium–sulfur (RT/Na–S) batteries are a promising low‐cost energy storage technology. However, the vital role of the separator in the system is often overlooked. Inspired by the maintenance of brain homeostasis by human brain capillaries, this work pioneers a host–guest self‐assembled strategy for covalent organic scaffold membranes, endowing the membrane with multiple functions (sodium ion transport, confinement, and conversion of polysulfides) to maintain the stability of the RT/Na–S battery system. The free‐standing multifunctional covalent organic framework membrane (HB/CNT@COF) maximizes the roles of the host framework and guest molecules. Because of the synergistic effect of hydroxynaphthol blue (HB) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT), the HB/CNT@COF cell exhibits a capacity of 733.4 mAh g−1 with limited capacity fading after 400 cycles at 4 C. This performance is nearly four times that of commercial glass fiber separators. Additionally, the cell demonstrates excellent performance under electrolyte‐poor conditions.

AbstractIn response to the growing evidence that hypertension may play a significant role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in bonobos, the Great Ape Heart Project established a finger blood pressure (BP) monitoring protocol for zoo‐housed bonobos. The ability to monitor BP without the use of anesthesia provides more opportunities to detect potential hypertension in its early stages allowing for therapeutic intervention that may slow the progression of CVD. No BP reference ranges exist for bonobos due to the lack of an established protocol, the difficulty of measuring BP in animals, and small sample size of zoo‐housed bonobos. By working with all 8 institutions in North America that care for bonobos, it was possible to (1) investigate the feasibility of using finger BP devices, and (2) establish BP trends for male and female bonobos. Data were collected from May 2016 to March 2019. Zoos were asked to train for and collect BP measurements from any bonobos willing to participate, regardless of age, sex, or health status as well as to report on the quality of the training and measurements obtained. At the start of the study, the North American bonobo population consisted of 74 bonobos ages 5 years and older at 8 institutions. All 8 institutions submitted at total of 3656 BP readings from 50 bonobos (n = 23 females, n = 27 males; ages 5−51 years) representing 67.57% of the trainable population ages 5 years and older. Of the readings submitted, 2845 were determined to be good quality, reliable BP readings (77.81% useful BP measurements) for 36 of the 50 adult bonobos submitted for this study (59.01% of the adult population ages 10−51 years) but showed limitations in the protocol for the younger population. BP trend analysis showed significant differences between bonobos that were not on medication versus those treated with cardiac medications, with those on cardiac mediations having significantly higher systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, and mean arterial pressure (p ≤ 0.001 for all comparisons). Systolic BP generally increased over age classes (10−19, 20−29, 30−39, 40+ years).

AbstractA total of 94% of lemur species are currently threatened with extinction and more than 17 species of giant lemur are already extinct. To help prevent the extinction of Madagascar's remaining lemurs, Dr. Patricia Wright initiated conservation programs in the Ranomafana region of southern Madagascar in the 1990s. These continued and expanded, and in 2003 were consolidated with Dr. Wright's research activities when Center ValBio (“CVB”) was founded in 2003. CVB believes in the “One Health” approach in understanding the relationship between humans and the environment, and one of their core principles is that effective conservation is science‐based. CVB's environmental education (EE) programs (discussed herein) operate in various primary schools surrounding Ranomafana national park (RNP). The all‐Malagasy team consists of long‐term conservation educators as well as young intern teachers, who together address the issues of valuing lemurs and the forests that they require to survive. In this paper, we will describe three of CVB's EE programs and evaluate their impact. The primary tool used to assess impact was an analysis of pre‐ and post ‐intervention test scores evaluated using a Kruskal–Wallis test. We show that these programs (1) are popular, (2) produce concrete outputs that can change rural villages, and (3) improve local knowledge on the importance of biodiversity and sustainable development.

AbstractBackgroundNon‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have emerged as an alternative to opioids for optimal postoperative pain management. However, the adoption of NSAIDs in sinonasal surgery has been impeded by a theoretical concern for postoperative bleeding. Our objective is to systematically review the efficacy and safety of NSAIDs for patients undergoing sinonasal surgery.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched from inception to January 27, 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and comparative observational studies in any language were considered. Screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed in duplicate. Our outcomes were postoperative pain scores, requirement for rescue analgesia, and postoperative adverse events (epistaxis, nausea/vomiting).ResultsOut of 4661 records, 15 RCTs (enrolling 1210 patients) and two observational studies were included. Following endoscopic sinus surgery, there was no difference in pain scores between NSAIDs and non‐NSAIDs groups (standardized mean differences [SMD] 0.44 units better, 95% CI –0.18 to 1.05). Following septorhinoplasty, NSAIDs decreased pain scores compared to non‐NSAID regimens (SMD 1.14 units better, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.67 units better). Overall, NSAIDs reduced the need for rescue medication with a relative risk (RR) of 0.45 (95% CI 0.24 to 0.84). In addition, NSAIDs decreased the risk of nausea with an RR of 0.62 (95% CI 0.42 to 0.91) and did not increase the risk of epistaxis (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.23‐2.22).ConclusionAmong patients undergoing sinonasal surgery, NSAIDs are beneficial in postoperative pain management and avoidance of postoperative nausea without increasing the risk of postoperative epistaxis.

AbstractTime‐dependent variable stresses that occur in composites subjected to mechanical and dynamic loads have devastating impacts on the material properties. Since these stresses reduce the service life, it is critical to detect and enhance structural responses before and after dynamic loadings. Therefore, the present study aimed to increase the toughness and delamination resistance of the conventional fiber‐reinforced composites by means of thermoplastic veil interleaves, thereby improving the vibration responses both before and after low‐velocity impact (LVI). In this context, carbon fiber (CF) and glass fiber (GF) reinforced epoxy composites interleaved with five different thermoplastic veils as Polyamide (PA), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyimide (PI) and Poly‐Phenylene Sulphide (PPS) were manufactured, and machined in accordance with the LVI standard. Composite specimens were subjected to the LVI tests, and then vibration tests were carried out for the non‐impacted and impacted specimens to determine dynamic properties. As a result, although thermoplastic veils generally have favorable effects on damping ratios of the GF composites, it has been revealed that these veils other than PPS and PI cause deterioration in CF composites. On the other hand, since vibration reduction depends on inherent damping and structural stiffness, this study also examined the storage‐to‐loss modulus ratios which denote the loss factors. In this respect, it was discovered that, while PPS, PEEK, PA, and PI thermoplastic veils included among the GF laminates ascend the loss factors of composites, only PI and PPS thermoplastic veils were shown to be positively effective in CF laminates. Moreover, CF and GF reinforced composites interleaved with thermoplastic veils generally exhibited higher natural frequency and lower damping ratio compared to the entirely CF or GF laminated composites. These results show that composite specimens gained bending stiffness due to local deformation hardening, and improved dynamic properties thanks to thermoplastic veil interleaved was attributed to increased toughness and delamination resistance.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to propose a biotic index (North Adriatic Mesophotic BiogEnic Reefs, NAMBER) suitable for assessing the ecological quality of the mesophotic biogenic reefs of the northern Adriatic continental shelf based on photographic sampling.
At each of the 20 study sites, the degree of bioconstruction (expressed as percentage cover of crustose coralline algae), the α‐diversity (expressed as the mean number of taxa), and the degree of sensitivity to human disturbance and climate change (based on literature data and expert judgement) of the benthic assemblages were selected as descriptors and combined in the NAMBER index, using the best values that the three metrics can currently achieve in the studied region as a reference.
The study highlighted that there was large spatial heterogeneity among reefs and high variability in the ecological quality values obtained by NAMBER, ranging from bad to high. The index indicates that reefs lying furthest from the coast, under substantially lower anthropogenic pressure, have a generally higher status of environmental quality. However, a clear geographical pattern did not emerge, as reefs close together often had different ecological qualities.
The NAMBER index, which combines three ecological descriptors, in accordance with the requirements of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive, represents a specific adaptation to the northern Adriatic Sea of a multimetric index previously developed for the north‐western Mediterranean Sea, capitalizing on previous knowledge and research efforts.
This multimetric biotic index provides an effective standardized tool for monitoring programmes and environmental impact assessments in the northern Adriatic mesophotic biogenic reefs and lays the foundation for ecosystem‐based management and conservation in this basin.
Archaeological prospection using WorldView‐3 short‐wave infrared (SWIR) satellite imagery: Case studies from the Fertile Crescent
Authors: Casana Jesse , Ferwerda Carolin 
Published: February 2023

AbstractGeologists have long valued satellite imagery in the short‐wave infrared (SWIR) part of the electromagnetic spectrum (1100–2500 nm) because it can reveal subtle differences in minerology and soil moisture that are otherwise invisible, but the low spatial resolution (20‐30 m) of publicly available SWIR imagery has limited its utility for archaeological investigations. As part of a NASA‐funded research project, this paper presents results of an effort to evaluate the potential of higher resolution (3.7 m), 8‐band SWIR imagery from the WorldView‐3 satellite programme to aid in the identification and mapping of archaeological sites and landscape features in the Fertile Crescent. With case studies in the Amuq Plain of southern Turkey, the Khabur Plain of eastern Syria, and the Diyala Plain of southern Iraq, we utilize several methods including experiments with numerous band combinations, production of band ratios designed for crop cover analysis and support vector machine (SVM) classification techniques to enhance site visibility in multispectral SWIR imagery. Results reveal some of the seasonal, land use/cover and other factors that can impact the visibility of archaeological sites and features, demonstrating the potential and pitfalls of this emerging remote sensing resource.

AbstractCabozantinib is an oral small‐molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has become a standard of care for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, cabozantinib is associated with a high rate of adverse events. Therefore, individualised cabozantinib administration and monitoring could help maximise its therapeutic efficacy and avoid serious adverse events. This study developed and validated a method to determine cabozantinib concentration in plasma using HPLC–UV. Sorafenib, an internal standard, was added to the plasma sample containing cabozantinib. A calibration curve for cabozantinib showed good linearity (R2 = 1.00), between 25 and 4,000 ng/ml. The recovery rate was above 92.1%, and the intra‐ and inter‐day coefficients of variation were smaller than 5.2 and 6.8%, respectively. Then, we applied the method for monitoring cabozantinib blood levels in three patients with advanced RCC who were taking cabozantinib at a dose of 20, 40 or 60 mg/day. Grade 3 adverse events were more likely to occur in patients with high dosing and blood level of cabozantinib. Owing to its simplicity, the developed method can be used in general hospitals, and is expected to help maximise drug efficacy and minimise serious adverse events in many patients with RCC undergoing cabozantinib treatment.

AbstractThe current linear model inherent to the linear economy within the industry cannot continue its operations due to the high contribution towards environmental damage. To address this matter, the circular economy and the circular business models as environmental solutions for organizations will be capable of bringing business profit. Unfortunately, few studies have shed light on the types of capabilities and innovation required to produce the change to circular business models since these updates will lead to significant opportunities and challenges for enterprises. Thus, this research explores the factors that strengthen and hamper producer‐service enterprises' innovation capability to implement circular business model. The study applied the fuzzy Delphi method and grey‐based DEMATEL approaches to identify the most influential factors and the casual relationships among them towards circular business model implementation within the service sector. The research results indicated 10 main drivers and barriers related to circular business model implementation based on the fuzzy Delphi method. The contributions of this study can be used as a guide for producer‐service enterprises and other parties involved in policy‐making and shed light on the applications of business model innovations in general.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAs a value‐added business strategy, many companies have planned and implemented green practices to promote their brands and contribute to sustainable development. This study aims to investigate how green practices build consumer brand identification for luxury hotel companies. Multivariate techniques and structural equation modeling were used to analyze a sample of 601 luxury hotel guests in China. The findings indicate that green hotel practices are positively related to consumer brand identification, and this relationship is positively mediated by perceived green service innovation, perceived utilitarian value, and perceived hedonic value. Furthermore, perceived utilitarian value and perceived hedonic value positively mediate the perceived green service innovation–consumer brand identification link. A robustness test with another sample data of 396 hotel guests was conducted, and this test confirmed the findings. This study provides several important implications for researchers and managers of the luxury hotel sector who aim to build customer brand identification from a green strategy perspective.

AbstractFour new CoIIcomplexes, [Co(bpy)2(acac)]Cl (1), [Co(phen)2(acac)]Cl (2), [Co(bpy)2(cur)]Cl (3), [Co(phen)2(cur)]Cl (4), where bpy=2,2’‐bipyridine (1and3), phen=1,10‐phenanthroline (2and4), acac=acetylacetonate (1and2), cur=curcumin monoanion (3and4) have been designed, synthesized and fully characterized. The X‐ray crystal structures of1and2indicated that the CoN4O2core has a distorted octahedral geometry. The photoactivity of these complexes was tuned by varying the π conjugation in the ligands. Curcumin complexes3and4had an intense absorption band near 435 nm, which made them useful as visible‐light photodynamic therapy agents; they also showed fluorescence withλem≈565 nm. This fluorescence was useful for studying their intracellular uptake and localization in MCF‐7 breast cancer cells. The acetylacetonate complexes (1and2) were used as control complexes to understand the role of curcumin. The white‐light‐triggered anticancer profiles of the cytosol targeting complexes3and4were investigated in detail. These non‐dark toxic complexes displayed significant apoptotic photo‐cytotoxicity (under visible light) against MCF‐7 cells through ROS generation. The control complexes1and2did not induce significant cell death in the light or dark. Interestingly,1‐4produced a remarkable antibacterial response upon light exposure. Overall, the reported results here can increase the boundary of the CoII‐based anticancer and antibacterial drug development.

AbstractLutembacher syndrome (LS) is a rare heart disorder characterized by a congenital or acquired combination of the atrial septal defect (ASD) and mitral stenosis. In LS, patients may be asymptomatic for years, but early detection and treatment result in a better prognosis. In contrast, the prognosis is usually poor, with conservative treatment if the diagnosis is late and the patient develops heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Although rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and congenital heart disease are prevalent in Ghana, cases of LS are not reported. Here, we report the case of a 45‐year‐old woman with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and an exceptionally large ASD with bidirectional flow who was diagnosed with LS and treated conservatively for heart failure at a cardiology clinic in Ghana.
