The effect of CSR on corporate social performance: Mediating role of corporate image, green innovation and moderating role of corporate identity
Authors: Fosu Edward , Yi Kaigang , Asiedu Deborah 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAlthough some previous studies have demonstrated the positive influence of CSR on corporate performance, astonishingly few studies on CSR practices and their impacts on corporate social performance have been conducted. With growing concerns about companies' social and environmental impacts, our study emphasizes the effect of CSR on corporate social performance to strengthen the existing knowledge of concepts. This study also examines contingent factors that affect the relationship between CSR and corporate social performance. We investigate the mediation role of corporate image and green innovation that may affect the social performance of CSR practices. This differs from previous research that studied the direct relationship between CSR and corporate performance. We selected 650 participants from companies in Ghana and a structural equation model (SEM) by a bootstrap technique in Amos 23.0 was performed. We demonstrate that CSR activities relate to corporate social performance through corporate image and green innovation. Additionally, our results establish that corporate identity moderates the relationships between corporate image and social performance, green innovation and corporate social performance. The study makes conceptual and practical contributions to the existing understanding of CSR developments and their generalizability.
Posttranslational modifications of NLRP3 and their regulatory roles in inflammasome activation
Authors: Qin Ying , Zhao Wei 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains‐containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multimolecular complex that plays a fundamental role in inflammation. Optimal activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is crucial for host defense against pathogens and the maintenance of immune homeostasis. Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activity has been implicated in various inflammatory diseases. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of NLRP3, a key inflammasome sensor, play critical roles in directing inflammasome activation and controlling the severity of inflammation and inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, peritonitis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Various NLRP3 PTMs, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and SUMOylation, could direct inflammasome activation and control inflammation severity by affecting the protein stability, ATPase activity, subcellular localization, and oligomerization of NLRP3 as well as the association between NLRP3 and other inflammasome components. Here, we provide an overview of the PTMs of NLRP3 and their roles in controlling inflammation and summarize potential anti‐inflammatory drugs targeting NLRP3 PTMs.

Published: June 2023

AbstractDe novo catalytic syntheses of diarylamines from a palladium‐catalyzed reductive Buchwald‐Hartwig amination of nitroarenes with aryl (pseudo)halides is described. The exquisite use of upstream nitroarenes as arylamine surrogates, the judicious selection of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as a stoichiometric reducing agent, and wide substrate scope including (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br and I) and aryl triflates, constitute the striking features of the current protocol. Moreover, application of this technique to the syntheses of advanced intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients also proved successful, thus providing an alternative step‐economical approach to the syntheses of diarylamine‐incorporated molecules. Preliminary mechanistic investigation demonstrates that an amine and a nitrosoarene intermediates might be involved in this reductive event.

Published: June 2023

AbstractWith the advent of additive manufacturing, lattice structures have been of increasing interest for engineering applications involving light‐weighting and energy absorption. Several studies have investigated mechanical properties of various lattices made up of mostly unreinforced polymers and lack numerical analysis for reinforced lattice structures. In this paper, mechanical response of short fiber reinforced lattice structures under compression is investigated through experiments and numerical simulations. Three different 2D lattices namely, square grid, honeycomb, and isogrid along with their rotated counterparts were fabricated using 15% wt carbon fiber‐acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and experimentally evaluated through uniaxial compression testing up to 30% strain. As simulations on fiber‐reinforced lattices under large compressive strains are rarely performed and published, finite element models accounting for fiber orientation induced anisotropic mechanical properties and geometrical imperfections were developed to predict the stress–strain characteristics up to 30% compressive strains. The stress–strain curves predicted from the numerical simulations matches well with the experimental responses for various lattice geometries. Various failure mechanisms such as thin strut buckling, contact within the lattice, and fracture of struts under large deformation were investigated. Analyzing energy absorption characteristics of these lattices revealed that the honeycomb structures in horizontal configuration exhibits superior energy absorption capability.

This study introduces a comprehensive framework designed to facilitate the management of ethical considerations in data science projects. In order to authenticate the framework, a case study was conducted and our perspectives on its practical implementation were presented. The description of the scope of future research is also provided.
A new era for myelin research in Neurofibromatosis type 1
Authors: de Blank Peter , Nishiyama Akiko , López‐Juárez Alejandro 
Published: June 2023

AbstractEvidence for myelin regulating higher‐order brain function and disease is rapidly accumulating; however, defining cellular/molecular mechanisms remains challenging partially due to the dynamic brain physiology involving deep changes during development, aging, and in response to learning and disease. Furthermore, as the etiology of most neurological conditions remains obscure, most research models focus on mimicking symptoms, which limits understanding of their molecular onset and progression. Studying diseases caused by single gene mutations represents an opportunity to understand brain dys/function, including those regulated by myelin. Here, we discuss known and potential repercussions of abnormal central myelin on the neuropathophysiology of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Most patients with this monogenic disease present with neurological symptoms diverse in kind, severity, and onset/decline, including learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, motor coordination issues, and increased risk for depression and dementia. Coincidentally, most NF1 patients show diverse white matter/myelin abnormalities. Although myelin‐behavior links were proposed decades ago, no solid data can prove or refute this idea yet. A recent upsurge in myelin biology understanding and research/therapeutic tools provides opportunities to address this debate. As precision medicine moves forward, an integrative understanding of all cell types disrupted in neurological conditions becomes a priority. Hence, this review aims to serve as a bridge between fundamental cellular/molecular myelin biology and clinical research in NF1.

AbstractUsing continuous pulse oximetry (cSpO2) to monitor children with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen is a form of medical overuse. In this longitudinal analysis from the Eliminating Monitor Overuse (EMO) study, we aimed to assess changes in cSpO2 overuse before, during, and after intensive cSpO2‐deimplementation efforts in six hospitals. Monitoring data were collected during three phases: “P1” baseline, “P2” active deimplementation (all sites engaged in education and audit and feedback strategies), and “P3” sustainment (a new baseline measured after strategies were withdrawn). Two thousand and fifty‐three observations were analyzed. We found that each hospital experienced reductions during active deimplementation (P2), with overall adjusted cSpO2 overuse decreasing from 53%, 95% confidence interval (CI): (49–57) to 22%, 95% CI: (19–25) between P1 and P2. However, following the withdrawal of deimplementation strategies, overuse rebounded in all six sites, with overall adjusted cSpO2 overuse increasing to 37%, 95% CI: (33–41) in P3.

Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo compare 30‐day postoperative complications for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent resection to no gross residual disease versus optimal and suboptimal cytoreduction.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of women drawn from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program who underwent cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer between 2014 and 2019 was performed. Exposure of interest was extent of surgical resection defined as no gross residual disease; residual disease <1 cm (optimal); and residual disease >1 cm (suboptimal). Primary outcome was postoperative complication. Associations were examined with bivariable tests and multivariable logistic regression.ResultsA total of 2248 women underwent cytoreductive surgery; 68.4% (n = 1538) underwent resection to no gross residual disease, 22.4% (n = 504) had an optimal, and 9.2% (n = 206) had a suboptimal cytoreduction. Optimal cytoreduction patients had the highest rates of any postoperative complication (35.5%, p < 0.001). They also had the longest operative times and procedures that were most surgically complex (203 min, 43.6 relative value units, both p < 0.05). However, patients who underwent optimal cytoreduction did not have increased odds of major complications (adjusted odds ratio: 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 0.91–1.58).ConclusionPatients who underwent optimal cytoreduction had more postoperative complications, required the most operating room time, and represented more complex surgeries compared with suboptimal cytoreduction or resection to no gross residual disease.
ZIF‐8 Based Active Wound Dressing for pH Modulation and pH‐Responsive Delivery of Curcumin and Zn2+: Effect of Acidity on the Drug Release for Antibacterial and Antioxidant Efficacy
Authors: Jung Seojin , Chang Seokhee , Kim Na‐Eun , Song Yoon‐Jae , Kim Jooyoun 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA wound evolves with variable pHs depending on the healing stage, and the maintenance of mild acidic condition can help healing by deterring the formation of a biofilm. Herein, a dual‐layer wound dressing with an acid‐responsive zeolitic imidazolate framework–8 (ZIF‐8) layer and an acid‐modulating layer is designed to control the acid‐dependent release of therapeutic agents for the improved healing process. The outer dressing layer is coated with curcumin‐incorporated ZIF‐8, where curcumin and zinc ions are released upon dissociation of ZIF‐8 in an acidic condition. The inner layer, a pH modulator, is fabricated by electrospinning polyvinylpyrrolidone with addition of acetic acid. In vitro release test shows that the outer layer dressing attains a considerably higher release of curcumin and Zn2+ under an acidic condition. Combined with the inner acidic layer, the dual layer dressing exhibits facilitated release of effective agents regardless of environmental pHs, attributed to the proper pH modulation to about 6.5. The anti‐oxidant activity of curcumin and antibacterial activity of Zn2+ are confirmed. The study highlights the novel proof‐of‐concept design of active wound dressing demonstrating the dual functions of pH regulation and the stimulus‐responsive drug delivery.

A priori error estimates of two monolithic schemes for Biot's consolidation model
Authors: Gu Huipeng , Cai Mingchao , Li Jingzhi , Ju Guoliang 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis paper concentrates on a priori error estimates of two monolithic schemes for Biot's consolidation model based on the three‐field formulation introduced by Oyarzúa et al. (SIAM J Numer Anal, 2016). The spatial discretizations are based on the Taylor–Hood finite elements combined with Lagrange elements for the three primary variables. We employ two different schemes to discretize the time domain. One uses the backward Euler method, and the other applies the combination of the backward Euler and Crank‐Nicolson methods. A priori error estimates show that both schemes are unconditionally convergent with optimal error orders. Detailed numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

Abstract1D van der Waals (vdW) materials have attracted significant interest in recent years due to their giant anisotropic and weak interlayer‐coupled characters. More 1D vdW materials are urgently to be exploited for satisfying the practice requirement. Herein, the study of 1D vdW ternary HfSnS3 high‐quality single crystals grown via the chemical vapor transport technique is reported. The Raman vibration modes and band structure of HfSnS3 are analyzed via DFT calculations. Its strong in‐plane anisotropic is verified by the polarized Raman spectroscopy. The field‐effect transistors (FETs) based on the HfSnS3 nanowires demonstrate p‐type semiconducting behavior as well as outstanding photoresponse in a broadband range from UV to near‐infrared (NIR) with short response times of ≈0.355 ms, high responsivity of ≈11.5 A W−1, detectivity of ≈8.2 × 1011, external quantum efficiency of 2739%, excellent environmental stability, and repeatability. Furthermore, a typical photoconductivity effect of the photodetector is illustrated. These comprehensive characteristics can promote the application of the p‐type 1D vdW material HfSnS3 in optoelectronics.
Regulating Zinc Storage Behaviors of Tunnel Structure Cathodes Via Tungsten Induction

Published: June 2023

AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries have received continuous interests because of applying low‐cost and eco‐friendly aqueous electrolytes and having high safety. Beyond energetically to explore new‐type cathode materials, it is of great significance to regulate the zinc storage behavior of the existing cathodes in order to understand the underlying working mechanism. Therefore, as a proof of concept, this work achieves the regulation of zinc storage behaviors of the tunnel structure tunnel structure B‐phase vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) and vanadium oxide (V6O13) cathodes via a simple chemical tungsten‐doping induction approach. Under low‐concentration tungsten‐doping induction of 1, 2 and 3 at.%, the tunnel sizes of VO2(B) can be controlled readily. Moreover, the V6O13 with large size tunnels can be achieved by medium‐concentration tungsten induction of 6 and 9 at.%. It is demonstrated that tungsten induced VO2(B) can achieve zinc storage without lattice structure change via operando X‐ray diffraction analyses. Remarkably, via operando and non‐operando analyses, tungsten induced V6O13 with lager size tunnels can realize the oriented 1D zinc ion intercalation/deintercalation. The further kinetics analysis shows that the zinc storage is mainly diffusion control, which is different from most of vanadium‐based cathodes with capacitance control. This viable tungsten‐doping induction strategy provides a new insight into achieving the controllable regulation of zinc storage behaviors.

AbstractPrinting a large‐area bismuth vanadate photoanode offers a promising approach for cost‐effective photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the light absorption trade‐off with charge transfer, as well as stability issues always lead to poor PEC efficiency. Here, the solution‐processed recipe is advanced with BiI3 dopant for the printed deposition with controllable crystal growth. The resultant BiVO4 films prefer (001) orientation with nanorod feature on substrate, allowing a faster charge transfer and improved photocurrent. The BiVO4 photoanode in tandem with perovskite solar module delivers an operating photocurrent density of 5.88 mA cm−2 at zero bias in 3.11 cm2 active area under AM 1.5 G illumination, yielding a solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency as high as 7.02% for unbiased water splitting. Equally important, the stability of the aged BiVO4 rods has been addressed to distinguish phase segregation at surface. The photocatalysis degradation composes of vanadium loss and Bi2O3 enriching at the surface, opening a lid on the long‐term stability of BiVO4 photoanodes.

AbstractPrevious research reported an age‐related decline in brain norepinephrine transporter (NET) using (S, S)‐[11C]O‐methylreboxetine ([11C]MRB) as a radiotracer. Studies with the same tracer have been mixed in regard to differences related to body mass index (BMI). Here, we investigated potential age‐, BMI‐, and gender‐related differences in brain NET availability using [11C]MRB, the most selective available radiotracer. Forty‐three healthy participants (20 females, 23 males; age range 18–49 years), including 12 individuals with normal/lean weight, 15 with overweight, and 16 with obesity were scanned with [11C]MRB using a positron emission tomography (PET) high‐resolution research tomograph (HRRT). We evaluated binding potential (BPND) in brain regions with high NET availability using multilinear reference tissue model 2 (MRTM2) with the occipital cortex as a reference region. Brain regions were delineated with a defined anatomic template applied to subjects' structural MR scans.We found a negative association between age and NET availability in the locus coeruleus, raphe nucleus, and hypothalamus, with a 17%, 19%, and 14% decrease per decade, respectively, in each region. No gender or BMI relationships with NET availability were observed. Our findings suggest an age‐related decline, but no BMI‐ or gender‐related differences, in NET availability in healthy adults.
