Aim. The Colorado potato beetle population is characterized by a high degree of polymorphism. This provides a high level of adaptability to the most diverse distribution conditions. The aim is to the study of the variability of the pattern of Leptinotarsa decemlineata pronotum in June 2021 and June 2022. Methods. The analysis of the phenotypic variability of L. decemlineata population of Kamianka-Buzka city based on studying the presence or absence of certain phens, their number and placement according to Tauer method. Results. 22 variations of phens belonging to A, B, C, D, E, G, K, L, M, P groups were found. The dominant were phens of A, B, C, D, E, F groups. The most variable were the phens of A and E groups. The phenotypic structure of the colorado beetle population was determined according to Kohmaniuk’s classification. It was found that the dominant morphs in 2021 and 2022 were U (42 % and 27 %), UP (13 % and 18 %) and V (23 % and 21 %), respectively. Conclusions. The analysis of the frequency of phenoforms according to the Fasulati method showed that in the population of 2021 and 2022, phenoforms 3, 6 and 9 were dominant. They form the basis of the population and ensure the resistance of the population to the insecticides. The study of the intrapopulation diversity indicates an unbalanced population structure of L. decemlineata.
Change and Transformation of Functions in Turkey’s Felt Objects
Authors: Tarcan Berilsu 
Published: September 2023

This study analyses felt and the practice of felting from the geography of Turkey, as a way to explore felt’s function in material culture. Felting is a method of craft making that consists of compressing fibres (wool or other). Felt, (in Turkish “keçe”) can be defined as the outcome product of felting process. However, keçe represents more than just a cloth or a textile. It was an important part of daily life in the geography of Turkey, for instance among nomads who produced their daily necessities from felt. For the study, first, I introduce some felt products from Turkey. Afterwards, I share the processes and results of a field study, through observations and interviews conducted with feltmakers in Tire region in Turkey. Then I share an analysis and results from the product research and field study. Nowadays felt is found through another range of accessories and artistic works, such as decorational products, hair bands, slippers, vase, tumbler, hats. While felt was commonly used for important functions such as carrying, moving; today, other materials are used for these functions. Therefore, felt objects can be perceived and bought as accessories rather than necessities in modern culture. Nevertheless, felt is still used for the representation of identities. Although felt is considered to have lost its value, for the context of Turkey, I argue that the functions have shifted to new contexts. Through different functionalities such as being tools for self-expressions/communication, felt has a similar value in the current culture.
Design of nonlinear control system for motion trajectory of industrial handling robot
Authors: Zhao Haoming , Zhang Xinling 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIndustrial robot is a and multi‐output complex system with strong coupling and high nonlinearity. The motion control accuracy of the system is affected by many factors. To solve the difficulty in establishing the input and output characteristics of robot dynamics modeling, the robot motion model is established through the Lagrangian energy function. At the same time, the nonlinear relationship between angular velocity, angular acceleration, and robot torque is accurately expressed through improved cascaded neural network. In addition, the optimal time planning of the robot's trajectory in joint space is studied using multinomial interpolation method and the particle swarm optimization (PSO). In the simulation experiment, the effect of the proposed dynamic model fitting was outstanding. Under the mixed multinomial difference calculation planning, the angular position trajectories of the three joints changed very smoothly. In the data set application test, the average error of the PSO algorithm was 0.4061 mm and the average task time was 9.101 s, which were lower than other planning algorithms. Experiments showed that the Lagrangian dynamic model analysis based on genetic algorithm cascaded neural network and PSO trajectory scheduling method under mixed multinomial difference had better trajectory planning performance in handling tasks.

Published: September 2023

AbstractInflammatory bowel disease causes a major burden to patients and healthcare systems, raising the need to develop effective therapies. Technological advances in cell culture, allied with ethical issues, have propelled in vitro models as essential tools to study disease aetiology, its progression, and possible therapies. Several cell‐based in vitro models of intestinal inflammation have been used, varying in their complexity and methodology to induce inflammation. Immortalized cell lines are extensively used due to their long‐term survival, in contrast to primary cultures that are short‐lived but patient‐specific. Recently, organoids and organ‐chips have demonstrated great potential by being physiologically more relevant. This review aims to shed light on the intricate nature of intestinal inflammation and cover recent works that report cell‐based in vitro models of human intestinal inflammation, encompassing diverse approaches and outcomes.
Effect of Submonolayer ZnS Shell on Biexciton Dynamics of Indium Phosphide Quantum Dots

Published: September 2023

AbstractUnderstanding high‐order biexciton dynamics is important for the use of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in optoelectronic devices. The core–shell structure can be used to modulate biexciton dynamics by varying the shell thickness and core–shell energy band alignment. In this study, the biexciton dynamics in an unconventional case in which each QD is encapsulated by a submonolayer shell are demonstrated. The result of a transient absorption spectroscopic study shows that InP/ZnS core/shell QDs with submonolayer shell coverage exhibit a prolonged Auger lifetime. However, the QD size dependence of the Auger recombination time features two constant distinct stages instead of the typical monotonic volume scaling law in conventional QDs. It is attributed to the tradeoff between the enlarged QD size and quantum‐well confinement for the Auger processes. However, the abrupt change between the two stages is due to the change in the shell coverage. This study provides a reference for the application of core–shell QDs in optoelectronic devices in which full coverage of the shell is not achieved.
Ligand Modifications Produce Two‐Step Magnetic Switching in a Cobalt(dioxolene) Complex
Authors: KC Khadanand , Woods Toby , Olshansky Lisa 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMononuclear monodioxolene valence tautomeric (VT) cobalt complexes typically exist in their low spin (l.s.) CoIII(cat2−) and high spin (h.s.) CoII(sq⋅−) forms (cat2−=catecholato, and sq⋅−=seminquinonato forms of 3,5−di−tBu‐1,2‐dioxolene), which reversibly interconvert via temperature‐dependent intramolecular electron transfer. Typically, the remaining four coordination sites on cobalt are supported by a tetradentate ligand whose properties influence the temperature at which VT occurs. We report that replacing one chelating pyridyl arm of tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa) with a weaker field ortho‐anisole moiety facilitates access to a third magnetic state, and examine a series of related complexes. Variable temperature crystallographic, magnetic, calorimetric, and spectroscopic studies support that this third state is consistent with l.s. CoII(sq⋅−). Thus, our ligand modifications not only provide access to the VT transition from l.s. CoIII(cat2−) to l.s. CoII(sq⋅−), but at higher temperatures, the complex undergoes spin crossover from l.s. CoII(sq⋅−) to h.s. CoII(sq⋅−), representing the first example of two‐step magnetic switching in a mononuclear monodioxolene cobalt complex. We hypothesize that ligand dynamicity may facilitate access to the rarely observed l.s. CoII(sq⋅−) intermediate state, suggesting a new design criterion in the development of stimulus‐responsive multi‐state molecular switches.

AbstractTetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential biological cofactor and a derivative of pterin which is considered potent anticancer agents. In continuation of our previous study on the identification of BH4 from cyanide‐degrading Bacillus pumilus, the present study focuses on evaluating the anticancer properties of BH4 on A549, a human lung adenocarcinoma. Anticancer activity analysis shows that BH4 inhibited A549 cell growth after 24 h of incubation with 0.02 mg/mL. In acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, BH4‐treated A549 cells showed apoptotic morphology. BH4 treatment caused cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase compared to control cells. BH4 augmented p53 expression in alveolar cancer cells by downregulating MDM2 levels. There was downregulation of casp‐3 and upregulation of iNOS gene in BH4‐treated A549 cells. Further, docking studies indicated that BH4 had significant interactions with the above proteins affirming the apoptosis mechanism. Thus, BH4 could be considered a potential anticancer drug.

ChatGPT: The cognitive effects on learning and memory
Authors: Bai Long , Liu Xiangfei , Su Jiacan 
Published: September 2023

AbstractAs the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives and educational environments becomes increasingly prevalent, it is necessary to understand the way in which these technologies impact cognitive functions. AI models such as ChatGPT hold immense promise for advancing the field of education, making it easier than ever for educators to support personalized learning and for students to access information. However, there are risks associated with increased AI engagement; individuals may become over‐reliant on AI, resulting in a reduced capacity for critical thinking, or a decline in memory retention. This article provides a comprehensive survey of these potential impacts, emphasizing the need for the judicious utilization of AI, and advocating for an integration approach that supplements, rather than supplants, human cognitive functions. The paper concludes by encouraging further research into the long‐term cognitive effects of interacting with advanced AI models such as ChatGPT.

Key Clinical MessageThere is a lack of consensus and evidence on treatment strategies for lacrimal sac carcinomas. Wide en bloc surgical resection with farther prosthetic rehabilitation could be the treatment option in certain cases.AbstractMalignant epithelial lacrimal sac tumors are rare cancers with high recurrence rates. Diagnosis of these tumors is often delayed as they are confused with chronic dacryocystitis. There is a lack of consensus and evidence on standard treatment strategies for advanced lacrimal sac carcinomas. A case of advanced lacrimal sac squamous cell carcinoma treated with wide en bloc margin‐negative surgical resection with further prosthetic rehabilitation without adjuvant therapy and 38 months of recurrence‐free postoperative follow‐up is presented.

AbstractBackgroundChemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) includes negative sensations that remain a major chronic problem for cancer survivors. Previous research demonstrated that neurofeedback (a closed‐loop brain–computer interface [BCI]) was effective at treating CIPN versus a waitlist control (WLC). The authors' a priori hypothesis was that BCI would be superior to placebo feedback (placebo control [PLC]) and to WLC in alleviating CIPN and that changes in brain activity would predict symptom report.MethodsRandomization to one of three conditions occurred between November 2014 and November 2018. Breast cancer survivors no longer in treatment were assessed at baseline, at the end of 20 treatment sessions, and 1 month later. Auditory and visual rewards were given over 20 sessions based on each patient's ability to modify their own electroencephalographic signals. The Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS) at the end of treatment was the primary outcome, and changes in electroencephalographic signals and 1‐month data also were examined.ResultsThe BCI and PLC groups reported significant symptom reduction. The BCI group demonstrated larger effect size differences from the WLC group than the PLC group (mean change score: BCI vs. WLC, −2.60 vs. 0.38; 95% confidence interval, −3.67, −1.46 [p = .000; effect size, 1.07]; PLC, −2.26; 95% confidence interval, −3.33, −1.19 [p = .001 vs. WLC; effect size, 0.9]). At 1 month, symptoms continued to improve only for the BCI group. Targeted brain changes at the end of treatment predicted symptoms at 1 month for the BCI group only.ConclusionsBCI is a promising treatment for CIPN and may have a longer lasting effect than placebo (nonspecific BCI), which is an important consideration for long‐term symptom relief. Although scientifically interesting, the ability to separate real from placebo treatment may not be as important as understanding the placebo effects differently from effects of the intervention.Plain Language Summary

Chemotherapy‐induced nerve pain (neuropathy) can be disabling for cancer survivors; however, the way symptoms are felt depends on how the brain interprets the signals from nerves in the body.
We determined that the perception of neuropathy can be changed by working directly with the brain.
Survivors in our trial played 20 sessions of a type of video game that was designed to change the way the brain processed sensation and movement.
In this, our second trial, we again observed significant improvement in symptoms that lasted after the treatment was complete.
The genetic structuring in pollinating wasps of Ficus hispida in continental Asia

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe interaction between figs and fig wasps provides a striking example of obligate brood site pollination mutualism. Monoecious figs, constituting independent radiations in each tropical biome, are present in significant proportions worldwide, but in continental Asia, dioecious figs have diverged into various niches, making the region's assemblage remarkably diverse. However, the reproductive success of figs and fig wasps largely depends on the fig wasp dispersal process. Monoecious fig pollinators in continental Asian tropical rain forests exhibit high gene flow of the plant, while many dioecious fig pollinators have a more restricted gene flow. However, there are limited studies on the genetic structure of dioecious Ficus pollinators that pollinate figs with intermediate gene flow. Here, we used molecular methods to investigate the genetic structure of pollinating wasps of the widely distributed dioecious Ficus hispida in China and Southeast Asia. Sequence data from two gene regions were used: the mitochondrial protein‐coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 28S genes. Both molecular and morphological results support two fig wasp species at our sampling sites. Our findings suggest that for widely sympatric Ficus species in continental Asia, monoecious figs presenting long gene glow have the fewest fig wasp species, followed by dioecious figs presenting intermediate gene flow, and dioecious figs presenting local gene flow have the most fig wasp species.
Correlation of the electronic structure and Li‐ion mobility with modulus and hardness in LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathodes by combined near edge X‐ray absorption finestructure spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and nanoindentation

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe electrochemical performance of cathode materials in Li‐ion batteries is reflected in macroscopic observables such as the capacity, the voltage, and the state of charge (SOC). However, the physical origin of performance parameters are atomistic processes that scale up to a macroscopic picture. Thus, revealing the function and failure of electrochemical devices requires a multiscale (and ‐time) approach using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. In this work, we combine near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) to determine the chemical binding state of transition metals in LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM622), electrochemical strain microscopy to understand the Li‐ion mobility in such materials, and nanoindentation to relate the mechanical properties exhibited by the material to the chemical state and ion mobility. Strikingly, a clear correlation between the chemical binding, the mechanical properties, and the Li‐ion mobility is found. Thereby, the significant relation of chemo‐mechanical properties of NCM622 on a local and global scale is clearly demonstrated.

AbstractWhat are the differences between policy entrepreneurship and street‐level policy entrepreneurship? The research on street‐level policy entrepreneurship is still in its infancy, yet in the past few years, it has received greater research attention. This article systematically reviews the current research published on this topic and compares it to previous findings on policy entrepreneurs. Our findings provide an analysis of street‐level policy entrepreneurs' characteristics, motivations, traits, and strategies, differentiating types of street‐level bureaucrats (SLBs). We also find three new strategies unique to SLBs: consistency over time, learning from others, and seeking legitimacy. We conclude by identifying the main differences between traditional entrepreneurs and street‐level entrepreneurs and providing suggestions for further research.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this research, the small segments parabolic dish concentrator (SSPDC) with a modified cavity was optically and thermally investigated. The SSPDC consisted of small mirrors that were tracking the sun individually. The SSPDC allows using different concentration ratios and aperture areas. Oil, pure water, and water + perypolen glycol (PG) were evaluated as working fluids. Different structural characteristics of the solar system were investigated, including dish focal distance, cavity outer diameter, and cavity aperture area. Then the investigated solar system was explored as a heat source of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) unit for providing the power for a house. Finally, some environmental parameters of the investigated ORC units, such as carbon dioxide emission and carbon dioxide credits, were evaluated. The results reveal that the investigated solar unit had a dish depth of 0.14 m, a focal distance of 1 m, a cavity aperture outer diameter of 0.1 m, and a cavity aperture inner diameter of 0.08 m for a 10‐mrad optical error and a 1° tracking error. Usage of pure water is recommended for low‐temperature application, water + PG for medium‐temperature application, and oil for high‐temperature application. It was concluded that two units of the proposed ORC could provide energy to the house with solar radiation of more than 800 W/m2 and the number of units should be increased for achieving the required power with decreasing solar radiation.

Published: September 2023

AbstractWilms tumor (WT) occurring in adults is rare and even much more rarely found to coexist with pregnancy. Clinical outcome in adults is worse overall compared with pediatric patients with WT and is often misdiagnosed with no standardized protocols for care guided by high‐evidence clinical trials. We present a case of a 23‐year‐old woman diagnosed with WT who was found to be pregnant immediately following nephrectomy. Workup findings showed that she had disseminated disease but was successfully managed in a multidisciplinary team setting with modified intrapartum chemotherapy followed by postpartum chemotherapy. In low‐resource settings, management protocols for adult patients with WT can be individualized by multidisciplinary teams to leverage available resources for best outcomes.
