Leder, Trøstens betydning i helsevesenets rom
Authors: Kitzmüller Gabriele , Clancy Anne 
Published: May 2023

Dette temanummeret i Nordisk Tidsskrift for Helseforskning belyser trøst som fenomen sett i et helsefaglig perspektiv. Forskningsgruppen Liv og livsmot ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet, Institutt for helse- og omsorgsfag tok initiativet til dette temanummeret i 2020, og utgivelsen ble realisert i nært samarbeid med Nordisk Tidsskrift for Helseforskning i 2023. Temanummeret består av en innledende tekst og åtte bidrag, de fleste i essayistisk form, som hovedsakelig er skrevet av forskere tilknyttet forskningsgruppen Liv og livsmot. Det at form og innhold på hvert bidrag er forskjellig gjør at både forfatterne og leserne får en ny forståelse av hvordan trøst kan komme til uttrykk i ulike kontekster. Trøstens eksistensielle betydning granskes i mellommenneskelige møter som finner sted i våre private rom, i naturen, i ulike livsfaser og i helsevesenets mange arenaer. Fenomenet trøst belyses med utgangspunkt i forfatternes livserfaringer og opplevelser som profesjonelle omsorgsgivere. Ulike filosofiske og teoretiske rammeverk sammen med resultater fra forskning rundt fenomenet trøst, gjør det tydelig hvilken betydning den har for vårt liv og livsmot.
Medlemmene i forskningsgruppen Liv og livsmot vil gjerne takke sjefredaktør i Nordisk Tidsskrift for Helseforskning, Jorunn Bjerkan, støtteteamet i UiTs publiseringstjeneste Septentrio Academic Publishing, og alle involverte fagredaktører og fagfeller for deres arbeid med våre bidrag.

Nutritional Vulnerability Transitions among Rural Households in Nigeria
Authors: Adepoju Abimbola Oluyemisi 
Published: May 2023

Aims: It has long been considered that specific age/gender groups, such as women and children, are predisposed to nutritional vulnerability. Thus, nutritional vulnerability among agricultural households is neglected and understudied. This study aims at an empirical assessment of nutritional vulnerability dynamics among rural households in Nigeria.
Study Design: Secondary data used for this study was waves 2 and 3 of the general household survey panel data. The sampling design consisted of two stages of sampling: the selection of enumeration areas based on probability proportionate to the size of the enumeration areas and the systematic random selection of ten households from each enumeration area. There were 3370 households selected in rural areas and 1630 households selected in urban areas. 2090 rural households with the required information for this study were included in the analysis.
Methodology: Descriptive statistics, nutritional vulnerability score, logit regression model, Markov model, and multinomial logit regression models were used to analyse nutritional vulnerability transitions among rural households in Nigeria.
Results: Nutritionally vulnerable households in rural Nigeria include those with aged heads, little or no formal education, limited assets, and no access to land or credit. Nutritional vulnerability in rural Nigeria is primarily transient, with around two-fifths of households experiencing transient nutritional vulnerability and nearly one-third experiencing chronic nutritional vulnerability. While the age of the household head, tertiary education, and access to credit all had a substantial impact on transient nutritional vulnerability, gender, tertiary education, asset value, and access to credit all had an impact on chronic nutritional vulnerability.
Conclusion: Support mechanisms such as initiatives to promote access to healthy food, credit, land, and education are critical. To successfully address the issues affecting the nutrition and health of persons facing vulnerabilities, social welfare programs with interventions based on the characteristics of each vulnerable group and the predisposing factors should be adopted.

Authors: Raj Aditya , Gupta Ankita , Gupta Neha , Bhagyawant Sameer S. 
Published: May 2023

Water is the major constituent of life for the growth of animals and flora species. Water is available around the world with different Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels and minerals. On the basis of TDS, the hardness and softness of water are determined. (Underground water and oceanic water are found to have higher TDS than fresh water).
Aim: To understand the effect of TDS on the growth of plant.
Objectives: A study was conducted on the basis of the TDS of water to observe the effect of TDS on the growth of phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) plants and to check whether the water TDS is responsible for the growth of the plants or not.
Methods: Water of different TDS levels was collected from Gwalior district (Gwalior, Gwalior fresh water Takenpur, and distilled water). Water has different TDS levels ranging from 95ppm (Parts Per Million), 750ppm, 2000ppm, distilled water with 0ppm TDS, and acidic distilled water (pH 3.5–4, by adding HCl acid). The kidney beans (phaseolus vulgaris) were purchased from a local mart and sowed into the washed sand with a neutral pH of 7, and the growth was observed under sunlight. (Each pot containing 7 beans).
Results: The result of the experiment was positive as required, as the water TDS level affects the growth of plants. It has been observed that distilled water with a TDS of 0 ppm shows almost no growth, but a TDS of 750 ppm shows the maximum growth. Therefore, it has been concluded that TDS is also responsible for the growth of plants, and this practice can be done on a large scale also for the best result of growth.

Authors: Saoiabi Yahya , El-Belidi Hala , Bouirig Kawtar , Bellabes Saad Benchekroun , Boutimzine Nourredine , Cherkaoui Lalla Ouafa 
Published: May 2023

Aim: In HIV patients with CD4+count<50cells/µL, after initiating HAART, close ophthalmological monitoring is mandatory, in order to watch for the development of IRU.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old patient with unknown medical history consulted for blurred vision and myodesopsia. The examination found bilateral microangiopathy with temporal retinal ischemia in the right eye.
The patient was tested positive for HIV-1 with a CD4count of 43 cells/mm3. The diagnosis of HIV-microangiopathy was made, he received a prophylactic retinal argon-laser and was put on HAART.
Following the HAART, he presented decreased VA in the right eye, with in examination, a slight inflammation of the AC, moderate hyalitis, and a diffuse and confluent temporal retinal necrosis.
The diagnosis of IRU associated with CMV-retinitis was presumed.
Discussion: The HAART increases the number of CD4-T-cells and restores immune responses against a wide variety of pathogens which reduces the incidence of opportunistic infections. However, in some patients, a dysregulated immune response after initiation of HAART leads to the immune reconstitution inflammatory disease, characterized by the paradoxical aggravation of a treated opportunistic infection or the revealing of a previously untreated subclinical infection in HIV-positive patients. The ocular manifestation of IRIS is called immune reconstitution uveitis (IRU).
IRU usually develops in patients with inactive CMV retinitis, but it can rarely occur in eyes with active CMV retinitis and occurs within the first few weeks of starting HAART.
Conclusion: The initiation of HAART requires regular general and ophthalmological monitoring in order to recognize early IRU which is often associated with active CMV retinitis.
The Associations between Autistic and ADHD Traits and Well-being of Secondary School Students in South Wales
Authors: Smith Andrew P. , Garcha Japnoor , James Arwel 
Published: May 2023

Background: There has been considerable research on Autism and ADHD, which are recognized as significant special educational needs. Many studies use samples which have been diagnosed with these conditions, but there is also a growing trend to focus on these traits among community populations rather than just among the individuals diagnosed. Recent research has examined the well-being of students using the "well-being process" framework. The present study examined the association between well-being, measured by the Well-being Process Questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and the autistic and ADHD traits of secondary school students.
Aims: The study first examined the associations between autistic and ADHD traits in secondary school students. The second aim was to examine the associations between well-being outcomes and these traits. Finally, analyses controlling for established predictors of well-being examined whether associations between autism and ADHD traits and well-being outcomes remained significant.
Methodology: An online survey was carried out. The participants were 155 students from a Welsh Secondary School and represented various year groups. Correlations and regressions were conducted to examine associations between variables.
Results: Autistic and ADHD traits were found to be significantly correlated. Both sets of traits were also significantly correlated with well-being outcomes. When autistic and ADHD traits were included in the same regression, ADHD was found to be associated with most outcomes, whereas autistic traits were only associated with hyperactivity, peer problems and reduced prosocial behaviour. When established predictors of well-being were also included in the model, ADHD traits were only associated with hyperactivity and autism with prosocial problems and hyperactivity. There were no significant effects on physical health.
Conclusion: Autistic and ADHD traits overlap. Univariate analyses show significant associations between these traits and well-being. However, when established predictors of well-being were included in the analyses, only hyperactivity and reduced prosocial behaviour were still associated with autistic and ADHD traits. The psychosocial profiles of autism and ADHD may help design interventions to increase well-being. For example, both autism and ADHD are associated with high stress and poor coping, both of which may be improved by training.
Negative Velocity Characteristics in Electromagnetism
Authors: Huang Zhi-Xun 
Published: May 2023

Newton mechanics is great, Newton's contribution is indelible. But from Newton's classical mechanics, the definition of velocity (=) must mean that this physical parameter is a vector, so "negative velocity" only means the opposite direction of motion, no other meaning. It is difficult to understand negative velocity within the framework of classical mechanics. However, wave is a special form of material motion, wave mechanics has a unique method and meaning, and its concept and connotation are significantly different from classical mechanics. For example, wave velocity (whether phase velocity or group velocity) is a scalar quantity. "Negative wave velocity" does not mean that the direction of motion is reversed, but a special phenomenon that does not accord with causality from the surface view. In any case, research in recent decades has shown that negative wave velocity is not only theoretically possible, it has also been repeatedly shown to exist experimentally. Moreover, negative wave velocity is a special form of superluminal speed; The wave with negative velocity is the advanced wave. It corresponds to the leading solution of the basic equation of electromagnetic field and electromagnetic wave. The past practice (discarding the advanced solution) is wrong! As for causality, scientists have provided a new definition and interpretation. In short, both wave mechanics and quantum optics take a different approach from classical mechanics.
This paper points out that it is unusual for the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics to be awarded to Alain Aspect and two others, since Aspect's experiments on the Bell inequality were completed in 1982, Which still stands today as a crucial experiment that proved Einstein's EPR paper wrong and quantum mechanics (QM) correct. Aspect's award in 2022 showed that mainstream physical community had been forced to accept that quantum entanglement existed and that the "light-speed limit" theory of SR was a mistake.
This paper discusses the proposition "negative characteristic motion of electromagnetic wave" put forward by the author in 2013, pointing out that it is an inherent physical phenomenon reflecting symmetry in nature. In this paper, the faster-than-light motion of waves found in the near-field of antennas is discussed. In addition, the realizability of "time travel" is also discussed.
Self‐Assembled Molecule Doping Enables High‐Efficiency Hole‐Transport‐Layer‐Free Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

Published: May 2023

AbstractHole‐transport‐layer‐free (HTL‐free) perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are attracting increasing research attention because of their simplified device structure, fast preparation process, and high cost effectiveness. However, their much lower external quantum efficiency (EQE) as compared with the conventional p‐i‐n type ones has considerably limited their application prospects. Here, a self‐assembled molecule (SAM) doping strategy is proposed by introducing [4‐(3,6‐dimethyl‐9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl) butyl] phosphonic acid (Me‐4PACz) containing PO functional groups into the perovskite precursor solution and preparing the HTL‐free quasi‐2D perovskite films through the one‐step spin‐coating process. The doped Me‐4PACz molecules can not only accumulate at the ITO/perovskite interface to lower the hole injection barrier, but also extend deep into the perovskite layer to suppress the trap density in perovskite films and regulate the crystallization process for monodispersed phase composition. With the further addition of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate small molecule containing CO groups to passivate the defects synergistically with Me‐4PACz, the EQE of the corresponding device is boosted from 1.5% to 16.7% together with a 3.5‐fold increase in operational stability, which is the highest efficiency reported so far for HTL‐free PeLEDs. The results demonstrate that the SAM doping strategy can be a viable and facile way to prepare high‐performance HTL‐free PeLEDs for practical applications.

AbstractThe increase in antibiotic resistance promotes the situation of developing new antibiotics at the forefront, while the development of non‐antibiotic pharmaceuticals is equally significant. In the post‐antibiotic era, nanomaterials with high antibacterial efficiency and no drug resistance make them attractive candidates for antibacterial materials. Carbon dots (CDs), as a kind of carbon‐based zero‐dimensional nanomaterial, are attracting much attention for their multifunctional properties. The abundant surface states, tunable photoexcited states, and excellent photo‐electron transfer properties make sterilization of CDs feasible and are gradually emerging in the antibacterial field. This review provides comprehensive insights into the recent development of CDs in the antibacterial field. The topics include mechanisms, design, and optimization processes, and their potential practical applications are also highlighted, such as treatment of bacterial infections, against bacterial biofilms, antibacterial surfaces, food preservation, and bacteria imaging and detection. Meanwhile, the challenges and outlook of CDs in the antibacterial field are discussed and proposed.

AbstractClinically available small‐diameter synthetic vascular grafts (SDVGs) have unsatisfactory patency rates due to impaired graft healing. Therefore, autologous implants are still the gold standard for small vessel replacement. Bioresorbable SDVGs may be an alternative, but many polymers have inadequate biomechanical properties that lead to graft failure. To overcome these limitations, a new biodegradable SDVG is developed to ensure safe use until adequate new tissue is formed. SDVGs are electrospun using a polymer blend composed of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a new self‐reinforcing TP(U‐urea) (TPUU). Biocompatibility is tested in vitro by cell seeding and hemocompatibility tests. In vivo performance is evaluated in rats over a period for up to six months. Autologous rat aortic implants serve as a control group. Scanning electron microscopy, micro‐computed tomography (µCT), histology, and gene expression analyses are applied. TPU/TPUU grafts show significant improvement of biomechanical properties after water incubation and exhibit excellent cyto‐ and hemocompatibility. All grafts remain patent, and biomechanical properties are sufficient despite wall thinning. No inflammation, aneurysms, intimal hyperplasia, or thrombus formation are observed. Evaluation of graft healing shows similar gene expression profiles of TPU/TPUU and autologous conduits. These new biodegradable, self‐reinforcing SDVGs may be promising candidates for clinical use in the future.

AbstractPathogenic bacteria induce subcutaneous infections pose serious threats to global public health. Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proposed as a non‐invasive approach for anti‐microbial treatment without the risk to induce drug resistance. However, due to the hypoxic environment of most anaerobiont‐infected sites, the therapeutic efficacy of oxygen consuming PDT has been limited. Herein, a transdermal delivery system is reported to allow effective delivery of photosensitizers into infected skin for PDT treatment of skin infections by bacteria. Considering the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the abscess area, catalase (CAT), an enzyme that triggers H2O2 decomposition to generate O2, is conjugated with chlorine e6 (Ce6) to form a photosensitizer conjugate (Ce6‐CAT) as an enhanced PDT agent against Staphylococcus Aureus. After screening a series of fluorinated low molecular weight polyethylenimine (F‐PEI) with different fluorination degrees, the optimized F‐PEI formulation is identified with the best transdermal delivery ability system. Upon mixing, the formed Ce6‐CAT@F‐PEI nanocomplex shows effective transdermal penetration after being applied to the skin surface. With light exposure of the infected skin, highly effective in vivo anti‐bacterial PDT therapeutic effect with Ce6‐CAT@F‐PEI is observed. This work proposes a transdermal PDT therapeutic nanomedicine particularly promising for the anti‐bacterial treatment of skin infections.

Published: May 2023

AbstractLithium (Li)‐based batteries are gradually evolving from the liquid to the solid state in terms of safety and energy density, where all solid‐state Li–metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are considered the most promising candidates. This is demonstrated by the Bluecar electric vehicle produced by the Bolloré Group, which is utilized in car‐sharing services in several cities worldwide. Despite impressive progress in the development of ASSLMBs, their avenues for recycling them remain underexplored, and combined with the current explosion of spent Li‐ion batteries, they should attract widespread interest from academia and industry. Here, the potential challenges of recycling ASSLMBs as compared to Li‐ion batteries are analyzed and the current progress and prospects for recycling ASSLMBs are summarized and analyzed. Drawing on the lessons learned from Li‐ion battery recycling, it is important to design sustainable recycling technologies before ASSLMBs gain widespread market adoption. A battery‐recycling‐oriented design is also highlighted for ASSLMBs to promote the recycling rate and maximize profitability. Finally, future research directions, challenges, and prospects are outlined to provide strategies for achieving sustainable development of ASSLMBs.

Published: May 2023

AbstractCancer is among the leading causes of death and an important barrier to improving life expectancy globally. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. The detection of biomarkers in body fluids is the key topic for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Despite advances in prostate cancer detection methods, therapeutic agents and new biomarkers, prostate cancer remains a serious challenge. Prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) is widely recognized as an important biomarker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer although researchers have also investigated the use of alternative biomarkers. Design and development of novel biosensors for prostate cancer detection has become a hot research area with advances in nanotechnology aiding biosensor development. This article reviews recent achievements and progress that nanomaterials and nanotechnology have made in biomarkers based biosensors for prostate cancer detection and covers: i) PSA‐targeted biosensors (immunosensors, aptamer‐based, peptide‐based and nanopore‐based biosensors), ii) sarcosine oxidase‐targeted biosensors, iii) other biomarkers based biosensors (prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA)) including dual biomarkers based biosensors (PSA‐VEGF, PSA‐PSMA, PSA‐PCA3 and PSA‐sarcosine). The aim of this review is to provide insights into how nanomaterials in combination with various biomarkers are now aiding biosensor development in prostate cancer diagnostics.
