The objective of the experiment is to study the effect of different natural farming practices on sorghum yield and nutrient uptake. For this a field experiment was carried out in 2023 at the Eastern block - Field No. NA 02, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore. The experiment included a randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications. Zero Budget Natural Farming techniques were fully implemented, encompassing the use of Ghanajeevamirit as a basal application, treating seeds with Beejamirit, applying Jeevamirit every two weeks via irrigation, practicing intercropping and mulching, and employing Whapasa (Alternate Furrow irrigation). Additionally, both organic and integrated plots were integrated into the approach. Results revealed that application of 50% organic and 50% inorganic treatments with organic pest repellants as ICM (T8) produced noticeably highest grain yield (2781 kg ha-1), stover yield (5682 kg ha-1) and NPK uptake (135.39, 45.09 and 80.49 kg ha-1), which was comparable to T9 ICM using chemical pest repellants. In comparison to natural farming plots, the organic farming plot (T7) showed considerably higher grain yields (2555 kg ha-1), stover yields (5456 kg ha-1) and NPK uptake (122.49, 39.40, and 66.91 kg ha-1). There were considerably greater grain yield (2294 kg ha-1), stover yield (5173 kg ha-1) and NPK uptake (108.32, 34.17, and 56.17 kg ha-1) in complete Natural Farming plot T2, which include all components (B+J+G+M+I+W) compared to control treatment which had considerably lower grain yield (1597 kg ha-1), stover yield (4306 kg ha-1) and NPK uptake rates (58.28, 15.49 and 27.75 kg ha-1).

Consumer Price Perception and Reaction to Price Promotion in Online Shopping
Authors: Lii Yuan-Shuh , Ding May-Ching , Hung Chih-Hung 
Published: September 2023

Aims: Many observations and studies have pointed out that due to the economic downturn and fierce competition in the online market, online retailers must think about how to use effective price promotion strategies to attract consumers' attention and further stimulate their purchase intention. At present, online retailers still use the price promotion strategies used by offline retailers in formulating price promotion strategies. However, the Internet provides consumers with the benefit of being able to quickly search for price information when shopping online, resulting in a substantial reduction in the cost of searching for price information for consumers. In this case, the influence of these price promotion strategies may be weakened or even ineffective; and the provision of this benefit may also affect consumers' cognition, attitude, and behavior toward online retailers' price promotions. Therefore, this study intends to explore consumers' perception, processing, and search behavior for online price information.
Methodology: A review of the literature of price-related articles was selected for analysis, including the level of acceptance level, type and quantity of external and internal reference prices and advertising reference prices, to understand concurrently how retailers formulated their price communication strategies to influence the perception of consumer price online and offline.
Conclusion: This research proposes the countermeasures for on-line retailers when formulating price communication strategies, and provides the academic community with an in-depth understanding of consumers' attitudes and behavior patterns towards on-line price information.
Advancement in Diagnostic Aids for Oral Premalignant Lesions
Authors: Abdulrahman Baraa Issam 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Precancerous lesions, conditions, and early-stage oral cancer cannot be sufficiently identified solely through visual inspection and may be prone to be inadvertently disregarded. Distinguishing between early-stage cancer, precancerous lesions, and benign tumors can pose a challenge due to the striking resemblance in their visual characteristics. Using surgical biopsy as a diagnostic modality is widely regarded as the gold standard in the medical community. However, it is essential to acknowledge that acquiring professional services for this procedure can prove impractical in certain circumstances. Hence this paper presents a concise review of a wide range of advanced diagnostic aids employed in detection of Oral Premalignant Lesions (OPL).
Methods: The literature search utilized appropriate keywords to search online databases like PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, EBSCO, Wiley science library, and Saudi digital library.
Results: Alternative screening methods that are noninvasive, readily executed, and exhibit a high degree of accuracy are the established criteria for considering a test as a viable substitute for histopathology. Early diagnosis is a paramount factor in the effective management of oral cancer. Vital staining, immunocytochemistry, fluorescence imaging, laser confocal microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy diagnostic modalities are employed for the timely identification of oral premalignant lesions.
Conclusion: Recent advances have improved the diagnostic aids in easy and accurate detection of oral premalignant lesions thereby facilitating effective management and mitigation strategies at an early stage of the lesion.
Unravelling Surface Modification Strategies for Preventing Medical Device‐Induced Thrombosis
Authors: Luu Cuong Hung , Nguyen Nam‐Trung , Ta Hang Thu 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe use of biomaterials in implanted medical devices remains hampered by platelet adhesion and blood coagulation. Thrombus formation is a prevalent cause of failure of these blood‐contacting devices. Although systemic anticoagulant can be used to support materials and devices with poor blood compatibility, its negative effects such as an increased chance of bleeding, make materials with superior hemocompatibility extremely attractive, especially for long‐term applications. This review examines blood–surface interactions, the pathogenesis of clotting on blood‐contacting medical devices, popular surface modification techniques, mechanisms of action of anticoagulant coatings, and discusses future directions in biomaterial research for preventing thrombosis. In addition, this paper comprehensively reviews several novel methods that either entirely prevent interaction between material surfaces and blood components or regulate the reaction of the coagulation cascade, thrombocytes, and leukocytes.
Cu–Sr Bilayer Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles/Polydopamine Functionalized Polyetheretherketone Enhances Osteogenic Activity and Prevents Implant‐Associated Infections through Spatiotemporal Immunomodulation

Published: September 2023

AbstractKey factors contributing to implantation failures include implant‐associated infections (IAIs) and insufficient osseointegration of the implants. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedics, yet its clinical applications are restricted due to its poor osteogenic and antibacterial properties as well as inadequate immune responses. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel spatiotemporal immunomodulation approach is proposed, chelating Cu–Sr bilayer bioactive glass nanoparticles (CS‐BGNs) onto the PEEK surface via polydopamine (PDA). The CS‐BGNs possess a bilayer core–shell structure where copper is distributed in the outer layer and strontium is clustered in the inner layer. The results show that CS‐BGNs/PDA functionalized PEEK demonstrates a controlled and sequential release of Cu2+ and Sr2+. In the early stage, Cu2+ from the outer layer releases rapidly, while Sr2+ from the inner layer releases in the late stage. This well‐ordered release pattern modulates the phenotypic transition of macrophages, which induces M1 polarization in the early stage and M2 polarization in the late stage. Combined with the direct effects of Cu2+ and Sr2+, the spatiotemporal immunomodulation not only benefits the early antibacterial and tissue‐healing process, but also promotes the long‐term process of osseointegration, providing new perspectives on the design of novel immunomodulatory biomaterials.

AbstractBandgap tunability of lead mixed halide perovskites (LMHPs) is a crucial characteristic for versatile optoelectronic applications. Nevertheless, LMHPs show the formation of iodide‐rich (I‐rich) phase under illumination, which destabilizes the semiconductor bandgap and impedes their exploitation. Here, it is shown that how I2, photogenerated upon charge carrier trapping at iodine interstitials in LMHPs, can promote the formation of I‐rich phase. I2 can react with bromide (Br−) in the perovskite to form a trihalide ion I2Br− (Iδ−‐Iδ+‐Brδ−), whose negatively charged iodide (Iδ−) can further exchange with another lattice Br− to form the I‐rich phase. Importantly, it is observed that the effectiveness of the process is dependent on the overall stability of the crystalline perovskite structure. Therefore, the bandgap instability in LMHPs is governed by two factors, i.e., the density of native defects leading to I2 production and the Br− binding strength within the crystalline unit. Eventually, this study provides rules for the design of chemical composition in LMHPs to reach their full potential for optoelectronic devices.

Published: September 2023

Abstract2D layered semiconductor materials hold the potential to address the crucial technical challenges of poor signal uniformity and low repeatability of traditional metal plasmonic nanostructures in sensing, which hinder quantitative detection and analysis in molecular detection. However, the ultra‐low light absorption efficiency and electronic state density intrinsically result in their inferior sensitivity compared with those of conventional metal plasmonic nanostructures. Therefore, the integration of the classical back‐gate modulation strategy and surface plasmon resonance into 2D heterostructures is proposed. This integration aims to control the interaction between the surface sensing material of the heterostructure and target molecules from the perspective of surface electronic state density and optical absorption efficiency. The sensitivity (≈10−12 m) of as‐designed MoS2/graphene/Ag heterojunction is comparable to that of advanced metal plasmonic nanostructures, and the corresponding enhancement factor (EF, 1.71 × 104) is much higher than that of most heterojunction‐based and metal‐semiconductor coupled devices. This study uncovers the internal mechanism of the surface plasmon effect and high electronic state density in enhancing light‐matter interactions, and provides an alternative avenue for high‐performance surface‐enhanced devices.
Testing the optimality of USDA's WASDE forecasts under unknown loss
Authors: Ding Kexin , Katchova Ani L. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMotivated by the long‐lasting debate on whether the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) forecasts are optimal, we employ an unknown loss method for ex post evaluation which assumes that the USDA forecasters' loss function is unknown. We conduct optimality tests of the WASDE forecasts for corn, soybeans, and wheat published during 1988–2019. Our results suggest that USDA forecasters generally realize optimality during the data‐generating process. Our findings are consistent with previous studies when narrowing down the more general unknown loss function to the symmetric or asymmetric loss function which assumes a specific shape for the loss function. This study provides implications based on the unknown loss function that the USDA forecasters can boost their information set as an alternative way to improve the WASDE forecasts.

AbstractObjectivesTo study and analyze the impact of socio‐economic factors on secular changes in height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) among Moscow's youth over the time interval from the late 19th–early 20th century to the present.MethodsAnthropometric data, including height, weight, and BMI, were collected through surveys conducted on youths aged 17–20 years in Moscow from the 1880s for males and from the 1920s for females to the present. The dataset includes information on 6434 individuals surveyed from 2000 to 2019, as well as previously published mean values. Economic development indicators, such as gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, monthly average income per capita, and the Gini coefficient, were examined to analyze the association between secular trends in body size and socio‐economic conditions.ResultsA positive secular trend in height and weight has been observed among Moscow's youth from the early 20th century to the present. Substantial increases in height occurred during the second half of the previous century, stabilizing in the 2000s. Over the analyzed period, both average body weight and BMI values showed a consistent rise. The pattern for BMI exhibited a U‐shaped trend, with a decline from the 1970s to the mid‐1990s, followed by a subsequent increase. Strong correlations were found between the secular changes in body size among Moscow's youth and temporal fluctuations in key socio‐economic indicators, including GDP per capita, monthly average income per capita, and the Gini coefficient.ConclusionThe study demonstrates the significant influence of socio‐economic conditions on intergenerational changes in body size, as evidenced by the positive secular trend in physique indicators (height, weight, and BMI) among Moscow's youth.

AbstractBackgroundComorbid chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains unresolved for many people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). While highly effective modulator therapy improves quality‐of‐life and symptom severity, the impact of this intervention and other factors associated with pursuing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) remains understudied.MethodsAdult PwCF + CRS were enrolled into a prospective, observational, multi‐institutional study. Participants completed validated outcome measures to evaluate respiratory symptom severity, depression, headache, and sleep quality, as well as nasal endoscopy, sinus computed tomography (CT), and olfactory testing. Bivariate comparisons and regression modeling evaluated treatment cofactors, disease characteristics, and outcome measures associated with pursuing ESS.ResultsSixty PwCF were analyzed, including 24 (40%) who elected ESS. Pursuing ESS was associated with worse SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22) total, rhinologic, psychological, and sleep dysfunction domain scores; worse Patient Health Questionnaire‐9‐Revised depression scores; worse Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total scores; worse weight, role, emotion, and eating domain scores on the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire‐Revised; more severe disease on nasal endoscopy; and lack of modulator therapy (all p < 0.050). Multivariable regression identified that worse SNOT‐22 total score was associated with electing ESS (odds ratio [OR] 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–1.16, p = 0.015) and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) treatment (OR 0.04, 95% CI 0.004–0.34, p = 0.004) was associated with pursing medical therapy.ConclusionsWorse sinonasal symptom burden, lack of ETI treatment, sleep quality, depression, and nasal endoscopy scores were associated with electing ESS, while lung disease severity and sinus CT scores were not. ETI use was associated with lower odds of pursuing ESS independent of sinonasal symptom burden.

Published: September 2023

Abstract1,2‐Dioxygenation of alkenes leads to a structural motif ubiquitous in organic synthons, natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Straightforward and green synthesis protocols starting from abundant raw materials are required for facile and sustainable access to these crucial moieties. Especially industrially abundant aliphatic alkenes have proven to be arduous substrates in sustainable 1,2‐dioxygenation methods. Here, we report a highly efficient electrocatalytic diacetoxylation of alkenes under ambient conditions using a simple iodobenzene mediator and acetic acid as both the solvent and an atom‐efficient reactant. This transition metal‐free method is applicable to a wide range of alkenes, even challenging feedstock alkenes such as ethylene and propylene, with a broad functional group tolerance and excellent faradaic efficiencies up to 87 %. In addition, this protocol can be extrapolated to alkenoic acids, resulting in cyclization of the starting materials to valuable lactone derivatives. With aromatic alkenes, a competing mechanism of direct anodic oxidation exists which enables reaction under catalyst‐free conditions. The synthetic method is extensively investigated with cyclic voltammetry.

Published: September 2023

AbstractRechargeable lithium−oxygen (Li−O2) batteries with high theoretical energy density are considered as promising candidates for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, whereas their commercial application is hindered due to poor cyclic stability caused by the sluggish kinetics and cathode passivation. Herein, the intrinsic stress originated from the growth and decomposition of the discharge product (lithium peroxide, Li2O2) is employed as a microscopic pressure resource to induce the built‐in electric field, further improving the reaction kinetics and interfacial Lithium ion (Li+) transport during cycling. Piezopotential caused by the intrinsic stress‐strain of solid Li2O2 is capable of providing the driving force for the separation and transport of carriers, enhancing the Li+ transfer, and thus improving the redox reaction kinetics of Li−O2 batteries. Combined with a variety of in situ characterizations, the catalytic mechanism of barium titanate (BTO), a typical piezoelectric material, was systematically investigated, and the effect of stress‐strain transformation on the electrochemical reaction kinetics and Li+ interface transport for the Li−O2 batteries is clearly established. The findings provide deep insight into the surface coupling strategy between intrinsic stress and electric fields to regulate the electrochemical reaction kinetics behavior and enhance the interfacial Li+ transport for battery system.
