The European cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus L., syn. Oxycoccus palustris Pers.) has a wide geographical distribution in natural bogs of Europe, Asia, and North America. The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton, syn. Oxycoccus macrocarpos (Aiton) Pursh) is more easily cultivated in the northern regions of the world and is therefore an available source of bioactive compounds. They are both rich in polyphenolic compounds (i.e., flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolic acids), which have significant antioxidant and anti-immflamatory properties. The cranberry fruits and their preparations represent important natural preservatives used against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Heritage related to its usage refers to the cranberry as a food plant and multiuse ethnomedical remedy. The results of the modern phytochemical and pharmaceutical research suggest using cranberry against urinary tract infections and as a preventive or curing plant against many other diseases. Today there are many new opportunities to draw attention to this plant, including cranberry tourism. In food and pharmaceutical industry the fruits are used most often, but leaves are also rich in biologically active substances, which can be sources for creating new medicines.

Published: July 2023

The word ‘mire’ in English means “an area of deep, wet, sticky earth” (see Cambridge Dictionary). The dictionary defines mire by its character and also by the affective way it is perceived and sensed by people when entering and moving around in it. Mires are special natural areas that have determined how people have learned and adapted to live in them in different cultures and eras. This special thematic issue on mire cultures explores the changing cultural practices and values associated with mires in the modern day, and further, their effects on the cultural heritage of mires for the future. During the current time of climate change and eco-crisis, people’s attitudes and ways of thinking about mires and nature in general have changed, with a greater emphasis being placed on more-than-human aspects. Human-mire relationships are processes that are shaped by changes in culture and society, and also by the experiences of individuals (Laurén et al. 2022). They include various activities that reflect the emotions, attitudes, knowledge and values of individuals and communities. In our research, the intangible cultural heritage is seen to be based on values, where mires are regarded as culturally significant natural areas and living organisms (see Poulios 2014). From the perspective of living heritage, it is essential that communities constantly recreate their traditions in relation to their environment, and in interaction with nature and their own history. Our research shows that the importance of mires is reflected in the transformation of cultural heritage for communities and acting on mires is part of people’s self-expression and identity, and there is a desire to pass on different forms of mire traditions not only into the future but also within generations. The studies presented in this special thematic issue aim to find answers to the following questions: What is the cultural heritage of mires in the twenty-first century? How has it changed since the past times? Are there signs of a changing relationship arising between humans and mires in the future?
Behavioral responses of different reproductive statuses and sexes in Hermetia illucens (L) adults to different attractants
Authors: Laksanawimol Parichart , Singsa Sukdee , Thancharoen Anchana 
Published: July 2023

Background
The odor of various fermented organic materials acts as an attractant for oviposition by gravid females of the black soldier fly (BSF) to find larval food sources. Females display oviposition site selection on various organic materials, but little work has been done on the response to substrate attractants under caged conditions similar to those in a BSF farm production system.

Methods
Fifty of each reproductive status (mated and virgin) and sex (males and females) of BSF adults were marked and then exposed to one of five different oviposition attractants in a transparent acrylic chamber: no substrate (control) plus pineapple, mixed vegetables, okara, and fermented fish to represent fruit-, vegetable-, plant protein-, and animal protein-based substrates, respectively. The frequency of the perching activity on the oviposition apparatus and flying behavior under the LED illumination, including the laid egg weight, were recorded.

Results
The sexually-related activities of BSF adults were clearly observed. A majority of the females preferred to perch on the oviposition apparatus and fly around the illuminated area compared to the very low activities of the mated males. The BSF adults displayed different behavioral responses to the different tested attractants. While active flying was common when using plant protein- and animal protein-based substrates, mated females showed the greatest perching preference for plant-based substrates (fruit and vegetables) and this correlated with the laid egg weight.

Discussion
Egg-laying was more likely to happen on the plant-based substrate than on the animal protein-based substrate. However, the strong smell of the animal protein-based substrate could strongly trigger lekking behavior, which is an important part of mating behavior. This knowledge can support egg trapping in nature and also improve the efficiency of egg production in mass-rearing facilities.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the degree that the Cochin Hand Function Scale (CHFS) generates scores that are comparable across language, sex, and disease subtype.MethodsWe included participants enrolled in the Scleroderma Patient‐centered Intervention Network (SPIN) Cohort who completed the CHFS at their baseline assessment between April 2014 and September 2020. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test unidimensionality, and multiple indicator multiple cause (MIMIC) models were used for differential item functioning (DIF) analysis based on language, sex, and disease subtype. Both intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson's correlation were calculated using factor scores obtained from unadjusted and DIF‐adjusted MIMIC models to evaluate agreement and correlation between scores.ResultsA total of 2,155 participants were included. CFA with covarying error terms supported a good fit of the model (χ2[127] = 1,754.671; P < 0.001; Tucker‐Lewis index = 0.985; comparative fit index = 0.987; root mean square error of approximation = 0.077). Nine items displayed statistically significant DIF for language of administration, 10 items for sex, and 10 items for disease subtype. However, the overall impact of DIF was negligible when comparing factor scores that did and did not account for DIF (ICC = 0.999; r = 0.999).ConclusionThe CHFS has score comparability in systemic sclerosis regardless of participants’ language, sex, and disease subtype.

AbstractChiral plasmonic nanomaterials with distinctive circularly polarized light‐dependent optical responses over a broad range of frequency have great potential for photonic and biomedical applications. However, it still remains challenging to fabricate 3D plasmonic chiral micro‐constructs with readily modulated chiroptical properties over the magnitude of ellipticity, mode frequency, and switchable handedness, especially in the vis–NIR range. In this study, polymeric micro‐origami‐based 3D plasmonic chiral structures are constructed through self‐rolling of gold nanospheres (AuNSs)‐decorated polymeric micro‐sheets. Spherical AuNSs are assembled as highly ordered linear chains on 2D rectangular micro‐sheets by polydimethylsiloxane‐wrinkle assisted assembly. Upon rolling the micro‐sheets to micro‐tubules, the AuNS chains transform into 3D helices. The AuNS‐assembled helices induce collective plasmonic modes propagating in a helical manner, leading to a strong chiral response over the vis–NIR range. The circular dichroism (CD) is measured to be as high as hundreds of millidegree, and the position and sign of CD peaks are actively modulated by controlling the orientated angle of AuNS chains, enabled by tuning the collective plasmonic modes. This micro‐origami‐based strategy incorporates the incompatible 2D assembly technique with 3D chiral structures, opening up an intriguing way toward constructing chiral plasmonic structures and modulating chiroptical effects based on responsive polymeric materials.

AbstractIonizable cationic lipids are recognized as an essential component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery but can be confounded by low lipoplex stability with mRNA during storage and in vivo delivery. Herein, the rational design and combinatorial synthesis of esterase‐triggered decationizable quaternium lipid‐like molecules (lipidoids) are reported to develop new LNPs with high delivery efficiency and improved storage stability. This top lipidoid carries positive charges at the physiological condition but promptly acquires negative charges in the presence of esterase, thus permitting stable mRNA encapsulation during storage and in vivo delivery while balancing efficient mRNA release in the cytosol. An optimal LNP formulation is then identified through orthogonal optimization, which enables efficacious mRNA transfection selectively in the spleen following intravenous administration. LNP‐mediated delivery of ovalbumin (OVA)‐encoding mRNA induces efficient antigen expression in antigen‐presenting cells and elicits robust antigen‐specific immune responses against OVA‐transduced tumors. The work demonstrates the potential of decationizable quaternium lipidoids for spleen‐selective RNA transfection and cancer immunotherapy.

AbstractThe trend to integrate more electronic components in a limited space range motivates the development of advanced electronic packaging. Conventional electronic packaging is difficult to perform in stable interfacing interconnection pitch below 7 µm due to the possibility of short‐circuit problems. Herein, a kind of anisotropic conductive film (μ‐ACF) containing periodically arranged conductive microspheres for microscale pitch electrical interfacing interconnection is developed. The periodic arrangement can avert the contact of conductive microspheres, thus enabling stable interconnection with a pitch as small as 5 µm. By coating conductive microspheres with a layer of silicon insulation, the pitch can be further reduced to 3 µm, which can prevent the formation of conductive pathways between electrodes even if they come into contact with each other. Such high‐quality arrangement is achieved by lithography and capillary self‐assembly method, which is expected to be used in high‐throughput production. Thanks to the delicate design, the μ‐ACF can achieve a low contact resistance of 4.62 mΩ mm−2 and a spatial resolution of 3 µm without short‐circuit failure. The spatial resolution can be further improved by adjusting the size of conductive microspheres, which is conducive to the development of highly integrated devices.

AbstractTapping the potential of solar thermal energy requires spectrally selective solar absorber coatings, which lead to high photothermal efficiency. Micro‐cavities are known to dramatically enhance or suppress light absorption and emission in a directional manner and are used in nanophotonics, photodetectors, lasing, etc. Here, a dielectric‐metal‐dielectric multilayer stack with an optical micro‐cavity of a 12 nm tungsten layer formed between two dielectric layers of transition metal oxide CuCo2O4 (CCO) is designed. The CCO‐W‐CCO thin film multilayers deposited on stainless steel substrate by DC‐radio frequency magnetron sputtering achieve a 90% solar absorptance for the entire solar spectrum and a thermal emittance of 19% for the infrared spectrum. Optimization of thicknesses of individual layers is achieved by numerical simulations done in COMSOL Multiphysics, thereby reproducing the optical properties of each layer. The simulation results satisfactorily reproduce the experimental reflectance and demonstrate maximum power dissipation in the metallic layer in visible as well as NIR regions. Nevertheless, CCO material characterizations reveal that the enhanced absorption over the entire solar spectrum could be attributed to the underlying spinel crystal structure and the nanostructure film morphology.

AbstractNickel is a promising candidate as an alternative to ruthenium for an ammonia decomposition catalyst. However, the performance of Ni‐based catalysts for ammonia decomposition is still not sufficient to achieve a good hydrogen production rate under low‐temperature because the weak nitrogen affinity of Ni reduces the frequency of the ammonia decomposition reaction. Here, it is reported that Ni supported on barium titanium oxynitride (Ni/h‐BaTiO3−xNy) with a hexagonal structure acts as a highly active and water‐durable catalyst for ammonia decomposition. The operation temperature is reduced by over 140 °C when N3− ions are substituted onto the O2− sites of the BaTiO3 lattice, and the Ni/h‐BaTiO3−xNy catalyst significantly outperforms conventional oxide‐supported Ni catalysts for ammonia decomposition. Furthermore, the activity of Ni/h‐BaTiO3−xNy remains unchanged after exposure to water. The 15NH3 decomposition reaction and Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) measurements reveal that lattice nitrogen vacancy sites on h‐BaTiO3−xNy function as the active sites for ammonia decomposition. The ammonia decomposition activity of Ni/h‐BaTiO3−xNy is also higher than that of the Ni/h‐BaTiO3−xHy oxyhydride catalyst, making a contrast to the activity trend in ammonia synthesis.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONWe compared gender disparities in later‐life memory, overall and by education, in India and the United States (US).METHODSData (N = 7443) were from harmonized cognitive assessment protocols (HCAPs) in the Longitudinal Aging Study of India‐Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia (LASI‐DAD; N = 4096; 2017‐19) and US Health and Retirement Study HCAP (HRS‐HCAP; N = 3347; 2016‐17). We derived harmonized memory factors from each study using confirmatory factor analysis. We used multivariable‐adjusted linear regression to compare gender disparities in memory function between countries, overall and by education.RESULTSIn the United States, older women had better memory than older men (0.28 SD‐unit difference; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.35). In India, older women had worse memory than older men (−0.15 SD‐unit difference; 95% CI: −0.20, −0.10), which attenuated with increasing education and literacy.CONCLUSIONWe observed gender disparities in memory in India that were not present in the United States, and which dissipated with education and literacy.

AbstractWe report here a homo‐Mannich reaction of cyclopropanol with an iminium ion, generated by an asymmetric allylic dearomatization of indole, to construct a tricyclic hydrocarbazole core, which is shared by a variety of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids across families. Through this approach, an all‐carbon quaternary stereogenic center as well as an allyl and a ketone group were installed. Using this functionalized hydrocarbazole as the structural platform, D ring and E rings of different sizes (i.e., five‐, six‐, and seven‐membered) were successively or simultaneously assembled, leading to a collective asymmetric synthesis of seven alkaloids belonging to the ibophyllidine, Aspidosperma, Kopsia, and Melodinus alkaloid families.

AbstractPrecise control of the structure and spatial distance of Lewis acid (LA) and Lewis base (LB) sites in a porous system to construct efficient solid frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyst is vital for industrial application but remains challenging. Herein, we constructed FLP sites in a polyoxometalate (POM)‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) by introducing coordination‐defect metal nodes (LA) and surface‐basic POM with abundant oxygen (LB). The well‐defined and unique spatial conformation of the defective POM‐based MOF ensure that the distance between LA and LB is at ~4.3 Å, a suitable distance to activate H2. This FLP catalyst can heterolytically dissociate H2 into active Hδ−, thus exhibiting high activity in hydrogenation, which is 55 and 2.7 times as high as that of defect‐free POM‐based MOF and defective MOF without POM, respectively. This work provides a new avenue toward precise design multi‐site catalyst to achieve specific activation of target substrate for synergistic catalysis.
