Abstract
Thin films of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine vanadium (IV) oxide, VOTPP, were placed on glass with an overall thickness of 495 nm utilizing the thermal deposition process. The films underwent annealing at various temperatures (323, 373, 423, 473, 573 K) for 3 h. The thermal behaviour of VOTPP powder was tested by DTA. The crystalline molecular structure, and surface morphology of as-deposited and annealed films were examined utilizing XRD, SEM, and AFM. The crystallinity of VOTPP film was enhanced and the crystallite size grew by boosting the annealing temperature. The RMS roughness of annealed film at 573 K is 14.87 nm. Optical parameters of as-deposited and annealed VOTPP films were determined by spectrophotometric measurements in the spectrum of (200–2500 nm). The absorbance spectrum of VOTPP films is characterized by the Soret band, which exhibits Davydov splitting into two peaks, Bx and By in the annealed films at 473 and 573 K. Additionally, Q and N bands are observed. Annealing reduces both the linear and nonlinear refractive index, as well as the dispersion parameters. Calculations for molar refractivity and absorptivity, nonlinear parameters, and optical conductivity at different annealing temperatures have been done. Additionally, the energy loss functions at different annealing temperatures were obtained. The electronic transition is indirectly allowed. Optical energies such as

were observed to reduce as the annealing temperature elevated. All the optical parameters were compared with other porphyrin derivatives. This study demonstrates that thermally annealing is an efficient method in enhancing the optical and synthetic characteristics of VOTPP films, which serve as a viable absorbing layer in renewable energy systems.

Abstract

Purpose
To examine global and health-related quality of life (QOL) among parents of individuals with Fontan physiology and determine associations with sociodemographic, parent and child-related health, psychological, and relational factors.

Methods
Parents participating in the Australian and New Zealand Fontan Registry (ANZFR) QOL Study (N = 151, Parent Mean age = 47.9 ± 10.2 years, age range: 31.6–79.6 years, 66% women; child Mean age = 16.3 ± 8.8, age range: 6.9–48.7 years, 40% female) completed a series of validated measures. Health-related QOL was assessed using the PedsQL 4.0 Core Generic Scales for adults and global QOL was assessed using a visual analogue scale (0–10).

Results
Most parents (81%) reported good global QOL (≥ 6), consistent with broader population trends. Nearly one-third of parents (28%) reported at-risk health-related QOL (based on total PedsQL scores) with physical functioning most affected (44%). Psychological factors, including psychological stress and sense of coherence, emerged as the strongest correlates of global and health-related QOL, explaining an additional 16 to 30% of the variance (using marginal R
2). Final models explained 35 and 57% and of the variance in global and health-related QOL, respectively (marginal R
2). Relational factors, including perceived social support and family functioning contributed minimally when analyzed alongside psychological variables.

Conclusion
While parents of individuals with Fontan physiology report good global QOL, challenges in health-related QOL exist. We identified key psychological, sociodemographic, and health-related factors associated with parental QOL outcomes. These data may aid early identification of physical and psychosocial difficulties and guide targeted health resource allocation for this population.
Detrimental effects of instructors’ fixed mindsets on students’ anticipated motivation and emotions in secondary and higher education
Authors: Heyder Anke , Pegels Hanna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Experimental evidence of effects of instructors’ growth or fixed mindsets has so far been provided only by studies on U.S. university students. Research outside the US and on primary and secondary school students has relied on correlational data. In two preregistered vignette experiments with secondary school and university students in Germany (N = 214 in total), we therefore tested for effects of fictitious instructors’ growth and fixed mindsets. Both studies revealed detrimental effects of fictitious instructors’ fixed mindsets. In Study 1, the fixed mindset teacher elicited lower anticipated positive emotions, stronger anticipated negative emotions, stronger anticipated performance-avoidance goals, and less anticipated help-seeking in fifth-to-seventh graders compared with the growth mindset teacher. In Study 2, the fixed mindset professor elicited lower anticipated positive emotions, stronger anticipated negative emotions, higher anticipated stress, less anticipated help-seeking, lower anticipated success expectancies, and less anticipated motivation in university students than the growth mindset professor did. Moreover, larger effects were found for female than male university students. These findings provide a more fine-grained perspective on the risks of being taught by a fixed mindset teacher or professor and support the idea that growth mindset instructors are an important part of a learning environment that helps every student flourish.
GL-MCM: Global and Local Maximum Concept Matching for Zero-Shot Out-of-Distribution Detection
Authors: Miyai Atsuyuki , Yu Qing , Irie Go , Aizawa Kiyoharu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Zero-shot OOD detection is a task that detects OOD images during inference with only in-distribution (ID) class names. Existing methods assume ID images contain a single, centered object, and do not consider the more realistic multi-object scenarios, where both ID and OOD objects are present. To meet the needs of many users, the detection method must have the flexibility to adapt the type of ID images. To this end, we present Global-Local Maximum Concept Matching (GL-MCM), which incorporates local image scores as an auxiliary score to enhance the separability of global and local visual features. Due to the simple ensemble score function design, GL-MCM can control the type of ID images with a single weight parameter. Experiments on ImageNet and multi-object benchmarks demonstrate that GL-MCM outperforms baseline zero-shot methods and is comparable to fully supervised methods. Furthermore, GL-MCM offers strong flexibility in adjusting the target type of ID images. The code is available via https://github.com/AtsuMiyai/GL-MCM.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Black people are more likely to have hypertension and report lower quality of care than White people. Patient-provider race concordance could improve perceived quality of care, potentially lessening disparities.

Objective
Investigate the association between patient-provider race concordance and patient-perceived quality of chronic disease care, as measured by the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) scale.

Design
Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a randomized trial with Black patients with persistently uncontrolled hypertension.

Setting
Participants received care at one of 69 rural primary care practices in Alabama and North Carolina.

Participants
Three hundred and ninety-one Black patients with persistently uncontrolled hypertension enrolled in the Southeastern Collaboration to Improve Blood Pressure Control (SEC) trial.

Main Measure
PACIC overall scores and subscale scores (patient activation, delivery system, goal setting, problem solving, follow-up).

Results
Of 1592 patients enrolled in the SEC trial, 391 participants self-reported race concordance data and completed the PACIC. Most participants were age < 60 (52.4%), 65.2% identified as women, and 50.1% were beneficiaries of either Medicare or Medicaid. Those with patient-provider race concordance reported higher overall PACIC scores (58.8% vs 46.1%, p < 0.05), with higher sub-scores of goal setting (60.9% vs 46.8%, p < 0.05) and problem-solving (62.7% vs 48.0%, p < 0.05) compared to those without race concordance. Poisson regression models of participants age ≥ 60 years demonstrated that those with race concordance were more likely to have higher overall PACIC scores (RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.17–2.0, p = 0.002), goal-setting subscale scores (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.24–2.15, p = 0.0005), and problem-solving subscale scores (RR 1.66, 95% CI 1.29–2.14, p < 0.0001). Those < 60 years of age had no significant findings comparing those with and without race concordance.

Conclusions
Older Black patients perceived greater quality of care if their providers were also Black.

Authors: Zhou Jian , Kou Minghao , Tang Rui , Wang Xuan , Li Xiang , Heianza Yoriko , Manson JoAnn E. , Qi Lu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
The importance of integrating physical and psychosocial factors in assessing frailty -health outcomes has been increasingly acknowledged, while the related evidence is lacking. We sought to investigate the associations of joint physical-psychosocial frailty with risk of premature mortality and evaluate the relative importance of individual physical and psychosocial factors.

Design
A total of 381,295 participants with no history of cancer or cardiovascular disease (CVD) were recruited from the UK Biobank cohort. The physical-psychosocial frailty was evaluated based on seven indicators including weight loss, exhaustion, physical activity, walking pace, grip strength, social isolation, and loneliness. The outcomes were premature mortality from all causes, cancer, CVD, and other causes. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations between the physical-psychosocial frailty and premature mortality.

Key Results
During a median follow-up period of 12.7 years, we recorded 20,328 premature deaths. Each additional increment in the physical-psychosocial frailty index was associated with a 26% (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.24–1.28), 10% (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08–1.12), 30% (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.26–1.33), and 44% (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.41–1.47) higher risk of all-cause, cancer, cardiovascular, and other-cause premature mortality, respectively. Compared with participants with the physical-psychosocial frailty index of 0, those with the index ≥ 4 had a 2.67 (95% CI 2.49–2.87)-fold higher risk of all-cause premature mortality. Slow walking pace and social isolation were the top two strongest predictors for all-cause premature mortality. In addition, we found that lower body mass index (BMI), age, smoking status, and dietary quality modified the associations of physical-psychosocial frailty with all-cause premature mortality (P-interaction < 0.05).

Conclusions
In this cohort study of UK Biobank participants, joint physical-psychosocial frailty is significantly associated with risks of all-cause and cause-specific premature mortality, highlighting the importance to jointly assess physical and psychosocial factors in determining aging-related health.
Limonene as biobased building block for functional monoterpene acrylate monomers
Authors: Obermeier Franziska , Strube Oliver I. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Limonene, a widely used natural raw material, provides an excellent basis for the synthesis of functional acrylate monomers. The presence of two double bonds in this monoterpene enables a twofold functionalization, enhancing its versatility for various chemical modifications. By incorporating an acrylate functionality, the polymerization potential of this terpene is significantly increased, allowing for the production of polymers with high conversion rates. The introduction of additional functional groups also makes the synthesized polymers suitable for applications requiring subsequent crosslinking or specialized material properties. Besides the mono- and bifunctional acrylate monomers, variants with additional hydroxyl and epoxide groups were synthesized. These considerably extend the versatility and application possibilities of the compounds. As proof of concept, free radical polymerization of the monomers was demonstrated in this work, and the reaction was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The resulting polymers exhibit glass transition temperatures between 83 and 96°C, making them suitable for use in, e.g., coating systems.

Authors: Andtfolk Malin , Fagerström Lisbeth , Eide Hilde , Nyholm Linda 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Maintaining good physical condition throughout life might reduce the risk of disease and improve older persons’ physical and mental health. Several positive outcomes in the care of home-living older persons have been linked to technological solutions such as humanoid robots. The aim of this study was to develop a humanoid robot-led physical exercise training program for home-living older persons and to explore eleven home-living older persons’ experiences of the program. Semi-structured interviews was held with the home-living older persons after their testing the program and transcribed interviews were analyzed by thematic analysis. The home-living older persons experienced the program as easy to follow and that the program might improve their mental well-being and social interactions. To positively influence older persons’ physical condition, more person-centered exercises and a more suitable robot should be included. Further development of humanoid robot-led physical exercise training programs is needed to ensure the usability of a similar programs in the context of older persons.
Trees, terraces and llamas: Resilient watershed management and sustainable agriculture the Inca way
Authors: Frogley Michael R. , Chepstow-Lusty Alex , Thiele Graham , Chutas Constantino Aucca 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Inca and their immediate predecessors provide an exceptional model of how to create high-altitude functional environments that sustainably feed people with a diversity of crops, whilst mitigating erosion, protecting forestry and maintaining soil fertility without the need for large-scale burning. A comparison is provided here of landscape practices and impacts prior to and after the Inca, derived from a unique 4200-year sedimentary record recovered from Laguna Marcacocha, a small, environmentally sensitive lake located at the heart of the Inca Empire. By examining ten selected proxies of environmental change, a rare window is opened on the past, helping to reveal how resilient watershed management and sustainable, climate-smart agriculture were achieved. We contend that, in the face of modern environmental uncertainty, a second climate-smart agricultural revolution is necessary, but one that accounts for the significant social capital of highland communities whilst still leaning heavily on native crops, trees and livestock.
Collineation varieties of tensors
Authors: Gesmundo Fulvio , Keneshlou Hanieh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this article, we introduce the k-th collineation variety of a third order tensor. This is the closure of the image of the rational map of size k minors of a matrix of linear forms associated to the tensor. We classify such varieties in the case of pencils of matrices, and nets of matrices of small size. We discuss the natural stratification of tensor spaces induced by the invariants and the geometric type of the collineation varieties.
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions using nano-Fe3O4/waste banana peel/alginate hydrogel biobeads as adsorbent
Authors: Parlayıcı Şerife , Baran Yaprak 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this study, the removal of Cr(VI), known as one of the most dangerous heavy metal pollutants, was investigated by adsorption method using magnetic alginate biopolymer-supported banana peel composite beads (MAB), which were synthesized for the first time. Using plant waste for this composite synthesis is both important in terms of utilization of plant waste and more environmentally friendly. Optimum conditions were determined by examining the parameters of concentration (10–300 ppm), adsorbent dose (1–8 g/L), mixing time (5–360 min), pH (2–8), and temperature (25–55 °C). Characterization of this new synthesized composite adsorbent, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX mapping measurements were performed. The experimentally found adsorption data were modeled by applying Freundlich, Langmuir, Scharthard, Temkin, and D-R isotherm models, and isotherm constants were calculated. The adsorption data on MAB are more compatible with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. In the shaking-batch system at 25 °C and pH = 2, the maximum adsorption capacity of the composite was calculated as 370.4 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics were found to be suitable for pseudo-second-order. Thermodynamic studies were realized to evaluate thermal changes of the adsorption process, and desorption processes were realized to determine the regeneration times of MAB. The temperature studies showed that adsorption capacity increased with increasing temperature, showing that the system was endothermic. As a result, it has been shown that MAB can be used as an efficient biocomposite adsorbent for the removal and recovery of Cr (VI) ions from aqueous media.

Integrative proteomic analysis reveals the potential diagnostic marker and drug target for the Type‐2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Jia Zhen , Jiang Ning , Lin Lin , Li Bing , Liang Xuewei 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective
The escalating prevalence of Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant global health challenge. Utilizing integrative proteomic analysis, this study aimed to identify a panel of potential protein markers for T2DM, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and paving the way for personalized treatment strategies.

Methods
Proteome profiles from two independent cohorts were integrated: cohort 1 composed of 10 T2DM patients and 10 healthy controls (HC), and cohort 2 comprising 87 T2DM patients and 60 healthy controls. Differential expression analysis, functional enrichment analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and classification error matrix analysis were employed.

Results
Comparative proteomic analysis identified the differential expressed proteins (DEPs) and changes in biological pathways associated with T2DM. Further combined analysis refined a group of protein panel (including CA1, S100A6, and DDT), which were significantly increased in T2DM in both two cohorts. ROC analysis revealed the area under curve (AUC) values of 0.94 for CA1, 0.87 for S100A6, and 0.97 for DDT; the combined model achieved an AUC reaching 1. Classification error matrix analysis demonstrated the combined model could reach an accuracy of 1 and 0.875 in the 60% training set and 40% testing set.

Conclusions
This study incorporates different cohorts of T2DM, and refines the potential markers for T2DM with high accuracy, offering more reliable markers for clinical translation.
