Businesses are failing at alarming rate most especially at post Covid-19 era. Recent global inflation has also contributed to the rate at which enterprises are failing. Entrepreneurs must begin to do personal assessment to properly harness some personal attributes and deploy them appropriately in a way to enhance business performance. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence on entrepreneurial success of technology adoptees of the Federal Institute of Industrial Research Oshodi in South West geopolitical zone (GPZ). Two hundred and fifty FIIRO technology adoptees who have established businesses in SW GPZ, One hundred and twenty of the technology adoptees who are members of the National Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME) and are operating within the South West GPZ were selected using simple random sampling technique to participate in the study but only eighty-six responded to the survey instrument. Cross sectional research design approach was adopted while primary data was collected using a 6-point Likert Scale questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS to determine the effect of emotional intelligence on entrepreneurial success. Emotional intelligence was measured using five dimensions of emotional intelligence namely: self awareness, self regulation, internal motivation, empathy and skill building while entrepreneurial success was measured by both financial and non financial performance measures. The result of simple regression analysis shows that emotional intelligence has a weak and significant effect on entrepreneurial success FIIRO technology adoptees. On the sub variables and their effects on entrepreneurial success, self regulation and empathy have weak and significant relationship with entrepreneurial success while self-awareness, internal motivation and skill building have very weak relationship and no significant effect on entrepreneurial success. Based on the outcome of this study, it is recommended that entrepreneurs, management consultants and government agencies with responsibility for SMEs development should take good advantage of the findings of this study to develop strategies that will enhance entrepreneurial success most especially in this post Covid-19 era.

AbstractUV micro‐photodetectors (mPDs) have received significant attention owing to the increasing demand for application in wearable healthcare devices. However, mPDs often suffer from tiny signals owing to their small size. Although this problem can be overcome by using low‐dimensional nanomaterials with high surface‐to‐volume ratios, such as nanowires (NWs), selective synthesis of functional NWs on the desired position of the specific substrate is challenging. This study introduces, for the first time, the laser‐induced hydrothermal growth (LIHG) process, in which a strongly focused laser beam generates a localized high‐temperature field, enabling the localized growth of CuO NWs on the desired position of the specific substrate. Also, an all‐laser direct patterning process for the fabrication of a flexible mPD based on a p‐CuO NW/n‐ZnO NW heterojunction is demonstrated. The PN NWs heterojunction exhibits remarkable photocurrent enhancement compared to a homojunction with a single semiconductor material. Furthermore, the all‐laser direct patterning process of the flexible PN NWs heterojunction can be applied for the fabrication of other flexible optoelectronic applications.

AbstractPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising cancer treatment approach with superior advantages. However, it remains a grand challenge to develop tumor microenvironment (TME)‐responsive photosensitizers (PSs) for tumor‐targeting precise PDT. Herein, the coupling Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) probiotics with 2D CoCuMo layered‐double‐hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets (LA&LDH) is reported as a TME‐responsive platform for precise NIR‐II PDT. The CoCuMo‐LDH nanosheets loaded on LA can be transformed from crystalline into amorphous through etching by the LA‐metabolite‐enabled low pH and overexpressed glutathione. The TME‐induced in situ amorphization of CoCuMo‐LDH nanosheets can boost its photodynamic activity for singlet oxygen (1O2) generation under 1270 nm laser irradiation with relative 1O2 quantum yield of 1.06, which is the highest among previously reported NIR‐excited PSs. In vitro and in vivo assays prove that the LA&LDH can effectively achieve complete cell apoptosis and tumor eradication under 1270 nm laser irradiation. This study proves that the probiotics can be used as a tumor‐targeting platform for highly efficient precise NIR‐II PDT.

AbstractHydrogen‐doped In2O3 (In2O3:H) is highly conductive while maintaining extraordinary transparency, thus making it a very attractive material for applications in optoelectronic devices such as (multijunction) solar cells or light‐emitting devices. However, the corresponding metal/In2O3:H contacts may exhibit undesirably high resistances, significantly deteriorating device performance. To gain insight into the underlying efficiency‐limiting mechanism, hard X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy is employed to in‐situ monitor annealing‐induced changes in the chemical structure of the Ag/In2O3:H interface system that is further complemented by ex‐situ electron microscopy analyses and contact resistance measurements. The observed evolution of the Ag‐ and In‐related photoelectron line intensities can be explained by significant intermixing across the Ag/In2O3:H interface. The corresponding lineshape broadening of the Ag 3d spectra is attributed to the formation of Ag2O and AgO, which becomes significant at temperatures above approximately 160 °C. However, after annealing to 300 °C, instead of the formation of an insulating AgOx interfacial layer, it is found i) In to be rather homogeneously distributed in the complete Ag/In2O3:H stack, ii) Ag diffusing into the In2O3:H, and iii) an improvement of the contact resistance rather than its often‐reported deterioration.

Abstract3D objects with integrated electronics are produced using an additive manufacturing approach relying on multiphoton fabrication (direct laser writing, (DLW)). Conducting polymer‐based structures (with micrometer‐millimeter scale features) are printed within exemplar matrices, including an elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane, (PDMS)) have been widely investigated for biomedical applications. The fidelity of the printing process in PDMS is assessed by optical coherence tomography, and the conducting polymer structures are demonstrated to be capable of stimulating mouse brain tissue in vitro. Furthermore, the applicability of the approach to printing structures in vivo is demonstrated in live nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans). These results highlight the potential for such additive manufacturing approaches to produce next‐generation advanced material technologies, notably integrated electronics for technical and medical applications (e.g., human‐computer interfaces).

AbstractIn recent years, frequency‐multiplexed metasurfaces have received extensive attention due to the increasing demands for device integration and communication capacity. However, most of previously reported works can only manipulate either surface waves (SW) or spatially propagating waves (SPW). In this paper, a frequency‐multiplexed holographic‐reflective‐integration (HRI) coding metasurface is proposed, which can independently manipulate SW and SPW at different frequencies with a shared aperture. To be specific, the metasurface can act as a holographic metasurface to manipulate SW at low frequency and a reflective metasurface to manipulate SPW at high frequency. The performance of the frequency‐multiplexed HRI coding metasurface is validated by matched simulation and measurement results of versatile wavefront and polarization manipulations. Due to the advantages of low profile, high aperture usage, and multifunction integration, the proposed frequency‐multiplexed HRI coding metasurface is promising to be applied in wireless communications, radar detections, and holographic technology.

AbstractThe pursuit of high‐resolution and advanced anti‐forgery technology has stimulated a growing demand for anti‐counterfeiting and encryption strategies with real‐time response and high security. Polarized patterns taking the advantage of high security, rapid response, simple operation, and great selectivity enable real‐time and non‐invasive detection by monitoring in different polarization directions. Here, a new strategy to design and fabricate the polarized CsPbBr3 quantum dot (QD) line arrays by femtosecond (fs) laser writing in a transparent glass matrix is proposed. The obtained line array structures endow isotropic CsPbBr3 QDs with macroscopic polarized emission with a polarization degree up to 0.189. Through programable design, the authors have created 2D and 3D polarized luminescent patterns made up of vertical and horizontal lines inside the glass for polarization‐sensitive optical anti‐counterfeiting patterns. The CsPbBr3 QD line arrays used in anti‐counterfeiting can be well maintained in the water environment. The successful demonstration of the laser writing CsPbBr3 QD polarization structures in glass highlights the versatility of anti‐counterfeiting and encryption.

AbstractTargeted therapy and immunotherapy have brought hopes for precision cancer treatment. However, complex physiological barriers and tumor immunosuppression result in poor efficacy, side effects, and resistance to antitumor therapies. Bacteria‐mediated antitumor therapy provides new options to address these challenges. Thanks to their special characteristics, bacteria have excellent ability to destroy tumor cells from the inside and induce innate and adaptive antitumor immune responses. Furthermore, bacterial components, including bacterial vesicles, spores, toxins, metabolites, and other active substances, similarly inherit their unique targeting properties and antitumor capabilities. Bacteria and their accessory products can even be reprogrammed to produce and deliver antitumor agents according to clinical needs. This review first discusses the role of different bacteria in the development of tumorigenesis and the latest advances in bacteria‐based delivery platforms and the existing obstacles for application. Moreover, the prospect and challenges of clinical transformation of engineered bacteria are also summarized.

AbstractAdenosine‐to‐inosine RNA editing critically affects the response of cancer therapies. However, comprehensive identification of drug resistance‐related RNA editing events and systematic understanding of how RNA editing mediates anticancer drug resistance remain unclear. Here, 7157 differential editing sites (DESs) are identified from 98 127 informative RNA editing sites in tumor tissues, many of which are validated in cancer cell lines. Diverse editing patterns of DESs are discovered in resistant samples, which could not be fully explained by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA enzymes. Some RNA‐binding proteins are identified that potentially regulate these editing events. Notably, the DESs are significantly enriched in 3’‐untranslated regions (3’‐UTRs). The impact of DESs in 3’‐UTR on the microRNA (miRNA) regulations is explored, and some triplets (DES, miRNA, and gene) that may contribute to drug resistance are identified. In addition, it is determined that the functions of genes enriched with DESs are associated with drug resistance, such as apoptosis, drug metabolism, and DNA synthesis involved in DNA repair. An online resource (http://www.jianglab.cn/REDR/) to support convenient retrieval of DESs is also built. The findings reveal the landscape and potential regulatory mechanism of RNA editing in drug resistance, providing new therapeutic targets for reversing drug resistance.

AbstractUncovering the physical mechanisms that govern ultrafast charge and spin dynamics is becoming indispensable both at the fundamental level and to develop future spin‐based electronics. Recently it has been shown that femtosecond pulsed‐laser excitation of magnetic thin films produces intense and ultrafast spin‐polarized hot electrons, thus attracting a lot of attention. While spin‐polarized hot electrons are known to play a pivotal role in the ultrafast laser‐induced demagnetization, their effect on magnetization switching remains an open issue. This study uncovers the effect of spin‐polarized hot electrons generated by laser excitation on magnetization switching in a Co/Pt based perpendicular magnetic anisotropy‐based synthetic antiferromagnet (p‐SAF) using the time‐resolved magneto‐optical Kerr effect. It has been found that, at low pump fluence, the equivalent magnetic field generated by the hot‐electron spin current plays a dominant role in assisting the magnetization switching of the lower layer in the antiferromagnetic configuration, while the strong thermal stability of the Ruderman Kittel Kasuya Yosida exchange interaction inhibits the further weakening of the switching field at high pump fluence. This study provides a viable way to control the magnetization switching of the antiferromagnetically exchange‐coupled systems for spintronic applications with ultrafast control of the information operation.

AbstractPremiseDetermining how xylem vessel diameters vary among plants and across environments gives insights into different water‐use strategies among species and ultimately their distributions. Here, we tested the vessel dimorphism hypothesis that the simultaneous occurrence of many narrow and a few wide vessels gives lianas an advantage over trees in seasonally dry environments.MethodsWe measured the diameters of 13,958 vessels from 15 liana species and 10,430 vessels from 16 tree species in a tropical seasonal rainforest, savanna, and subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest. We compared differences in mean and hydraulically weighted vessel diameter (MVD and Dh), vessel density (VD), theoretical hydraulic conductivity (Kt), vessel area fraction (VAF), and wood density (WD) between lianas and trees and among three sites.ResultsNine liana species and four tree species had dimorphic vessels. From the tropical seasonal rainforest to the savanna, liana MVD, Dh and Kt decreased, and VD and WD increased, while only tree WD increased. From the tropical seasonal rainforest to the subtropical forest, six wood traits remained unchanged for lianas, while tree MVD, Dh and Kt decreased and VD increased. Trait space for lianas and trees were more similar in the savanna and more divergent in the subtropical forest compared to the tropical seasonal rainforest.ConclusionsThese results suggest that lianas tend to possess greater vessel dimorphism, which may explain how lianas grow well during seasonal drought, influencing their unique distribution across tropical rainfall gradients.

Published: March 2023

AbstractEnzymes actuate catalysis through a combination of transition state stabilization and ground state destabilization, inducing enantioselectivity through chiral binding sites. Here, we present a supramolecular model system which employs these basic principles to catalyze the enantiomerization of [5]helicene. Catalysis is hereby mediated not through a network of functional groups but through π‐π catalysis exerted from the curved aromatic framework of a chiral perylene bisimide (PBI) cyclophane offering a binding pocket that is intricately complementary with the enantiomerization transition structure. Although transition state stabilization originates simply from dispersion and electrostatic interactions, enantiomerization kinetics are accelerated by a factor of ca. 700 at 295 K. Comparison with the meso‐congener of the catalytically active cyclophane shows that upon configurational inversion in only one PBI moiety the catalytic effect is lost, highlighting the importance of precise transition structure recognition in supramolecular enzyme mimics.
Generalizing treatment effects with incomplete covariates: Identifying assumptions and multiple imputation algorithms
Authors: Mayer Imke , Josse Julie ,   Traumabase Group
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe focus on the problem of generalizing a causal effect estimated on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to a target population described by a set of covariates from observational data. Available methods such as inverse propensity sampling weighting are not designed to handle missing values, which are however common in both data sources. In addition to coupling the assumptions for causal effect identifiability and for the missing values mechanism and to defining appropriate estimation strategies, one difficulty is to consider the specific structure of the data with two sources and treatment and outcome only available in the RCT. We propose three multiple imputation strategies to handle missing values when generalizing treatment effects, each handling the multisource structure of the problem differently (separate imputation, joint imputation with fixed effect, joint imputation ignoring source information). As an alternative to multiple imputation, we also propose a direct estimation approach that treats incomplete covariates as semidiscrete variables. The multiple imputation strategies and the latter alternative rely on different sets of assumptions concerning the impact of missing values on identifiability. We discuss these assumptions and assess the methods through an extensive simulation study. This work is motivated by the analysis of a large registry of over 20,000 major trauma patients and an RCT studying the effect of tranexamic acid administration on mortality in major trauma patients admitted to intensive care units. The analysis illustrates how the missing values handling can impact the conclusion about the effect generalized from the RCT to the target population.

AbstractBackground and PurposeMapping the topology of the visual system is critical for understanding how complex cognitive processes like reading can occur. We aim to describe the connectivity of the visual system to understand how the cerebrum accesses visual information in the lateral occipital lobe.MethodsUsing meta‐analytic software focused on task‐based functional MRI studies, an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) of the visual network was created. Regions of interest corresponding to the cortical parcellation scheme previously published under the Human Connectome Project were co‐registered onto the ALE to identify the hub‐like regions of the visual network. Diffusion Spectrum Imaging‐based fiber tractography was performed to determine the structural connectivity of these regions with extraoccipital cortices.ResultsThe fundus of the superior temporal sulcus (FST) and parietal area H (PH) were identified as hub‐like regions for the visual network. FST and PH demonstrated several areas of coactivation beyond the occipital lobe and visual network. Furthermore, these parcellations were highly interconnected with other cortical regions throughout extraoccipital cortices related to their nonvisual functional roles. A cortical model demonstrating connections to these hub‐like areas was created.ConclusionsFST and PH are two hub‐like areas that demonstrate extensive functional coactivation and structural connections to nonvisual cerebrum. Their structural interconnectedness with language cortices along with the abnormal activation of areas commonly located in the temporo‐occipital region in dyslexic individuals suggests possible important roles of FST and PH in the integration of information related to language and reading. Future studies should refine our model by examining the functional roles of these hub areas and their clinical significance.
