Published: January 2023

AbstractIncivility from customers is a common occurrence for employees working in service‐oriented organizations. Typically, such incivility engenders instigated mistreatment, both towards customers and colleagues. Not much is understood, however, about the mechanisms underlying the relations between customer incivility and instigated incivility. Answering recent calls from incivility scholars, the present research, drawing from Self‐Regulatory Resource Theory and Stressor‐Emotion models of workplace behaviour, explored cognitive (i.e., self‐regulatory resource depletion) and affective (i.e., negative affect) pathways that would explain relations between customer incivility and instigated incivility towards others. Through two multi‐wave studies with different time lags (N1 = 180, weekly lags; N2 = 192, within‐week lags) and different operationalizations of the instigated incivility construct (i.e., broad [unidimensional] and narrow [multidimensional]), we find consistent support for the mediating effects of the affective pathway. While our first study finds that customer incivility is linked to broad instigated incivility through negative affect, our second study finds that customer incivility is linked to, more specifically, gossip, exclusionary behaviour, and hostility through negative affect. In both studies, however, no support was found for the mediating effects of the cognitive pathway. Implications for both research and practice are discussed, and future research directions are offered.

AbstractConverting CO2 to clean‐burning fuel such as natural gas (CH4) with high activity and selectivity remains to be a grand challenge due to slow kinetics of multiple electron transfer processes and competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, the fabrication of surfactants (C11H23COONa, C12H25SO4Na, C16H33SO4Na) intercalated NiAl‐layered double hydroxides (NiAl‐LDH) is reported, resulting in the formation of LDH‐S1 (S1 = C11H23COO−), LDH‐S2 (S2 = C12H25SO4−) and LDH‐S3 (S3 = C16H33SO4−) with curved morphology. Compared with NiAl‐LDH with a 1.53% selectivity of CH4, LDH‐S2 shows higher selectivity of CH4 (83.07%) and lower activity of HER (3.84%) in CO2 photoreduction reaction (CO2PR). Detailed characterizations and DFT calculation indicates that the inherent lattice strain in LDH‐S2 leads to the structural distortion with the presence of VNi/Al defects and compressed MOM bonds, and thereby reduces the overall energy barrier of CO2 to CH4. Moreover, the lower oxidation states of Ni in LDH‐S2 enhances the adsorption of intermediates such as OCOH* and *CO, promoting the hydrogenation of CO to CH4. Therefore, the coupling effect of both lattice strain and electronic structure of the LDH‐S2 significantly improves the activity and selectivity for CO2PR.
Optimized Coiled‐Coil Interactions for Multiplexed Peptide‐PAINT
Authors: Eklund Alexandra S. , Jungmann Ralf 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSuper‐resolution microscopy has revolutionized how researchers characterize samples in the life sciences in the last decades. Amongst methods employing single‐molecule localization microscopy, DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA‐PAINT) is a relatively easy‐to‐implement method that uses the programmable and repetitive binding of dye‐labeled DNA imager strands to their respective docking strands. Recently developed Peptide‐PAINT replaces the interaction of oligonucleotides by short coiled‐coil peptide sequences leading to an improved labeling scheme by reducing linkage errors to target proteins. However, only one coiled‐coil pair is currently available for Peptide‐PAINT, preventing multiplexed imaging. In this study, the initial Peptide‐PAINT E/K coil is improved by modifying its length for optimized binding kinetics leading to improved localization precisions. Additionally, an orthogonal P3/P4 coil pair is introduced, enabling 2‐plex Peptide‐PAINT imaging and benchmarking its performance and orthogonality using single‐molecule and DNA origami assays. Finally, the P3/P4 peptide pair is used to image the human epidermal growth factor receptors 2 (ErbB2/Her2) in 2D and 3D at the single receptor level using genetically encoded peptide tags.

AbstractIn order to achieve a sustainable future, researchers must continue to research improved electrode materials. Considering the high electronic conductivity, versatile redox activity, and enhanced energy storage performance, nanostructures have been employed as a novel electrode material for high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors. Herein, carbon‐coated selenium‐rich trimetallic selenide (Cu2NiSnSe4@C) nanoparticles (NPs) as an efficient electrode material in energy storage devices are prepared. The prepared core‐shell Cu2NiSnSe4@C NPs electrode is employed as an anode material for LIBs, which demonstrated a high reversible specific capacity of 988.46 mA h g−1 over 100 cycles at 0.1 A g−1 with good rate capability. Additionally, the core‐shell Cu2NiSnSe4@C NPs electrode exhibited an outstanding capacity of 202.5 mA h g−1 at 5 A g−1 even after 10 000 cycles. Exploiting the synergistic characteristics, the core‐shell Cu2NiSnSe4@C NPs material is also investigated as a battery‐type electrode for hybrid supercapacitors. The assembled hybrid supercapacitor with Cu2NiSnSe4@C NPs and activated carbon showed excellent rate capability including high power (5597.77 W kg−1) and energy (64.26 Wh kg−1) densities. Considering the simple synthesis and enhanced energy storage properties, carbon‐coated selenium‐rich trimetallic selenide can be used as a durable electrode material for practical energy storage devices.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe addition of immune checkpoint blockade to standard chemotherapy has changed the standards of care for some cancer patients. However, current chemo‐immunotherapy strategies do not benefit most colorectal cancer patients and many triple‐negative breast cancer patients. Here, the design of a three‐in‐one nanoscale coordination polymer (NCP), OX/GC/CQ, comprising prodrugs of oxaliplatin (OX), gemcitabine (GC), and 5‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxyquinoline (CQ) for triple‐modality chemo‐immunotherapy is reported. OX/GC/CQ exhibits optimal pharmacokinetics and enhanced particle accumulation and drug release in acidic tumor tissues, wherein CQ greatly enhances immunogenic cell death induced by OX/GC and downregulates programmed cell death‐ligand 1 expression in cancer cells. Consequently, OX/GC/CQ efficiently promotes infiltration and activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, while decreasing the proportion of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells. Intravenous injection of OX/GC/CQ reduces the growth of colorectal carcinoma and triple‐negative breast cancer, prevents metastasis to lungs, and extends mouse survival by 30–40 days compared to free drugs. This work highlights the potential of NCPs in co‐delivering synergistic chemo‐immunotherapeutics for the treatment of advanced and aggressive cancers.

Published: January 2023

AbstractAtomically dispersed metal‐nitrogen‐carbon catalysts (M‐N‐C) have been widely used in the field of energy conversion, which has already attracted a huge amount of attention. Due to their unsaturated d‐band electronic structure of the center atoms, M‐N‐C catalysts can be applied in different electrocatalytic reactions by adjusting their own microscopic electronic structures to achieve the optimization of the structure–activity relationship. Consequently, it is of great significance for the revelation of electrocatalytic mechanism and structure–activity relationship of M‐N‐C catalysts. Thus, this review first introduces the relative research methods, including in situ/operando characterization techniques and theoretical calculation methods. Furthermore, clarifying the electrocatalytic mechanism and structure–activity relationship of M‐N‐C catalysts in different electrochemical energy conversion reactions is focused. Moreover, the future research directions are pointed out based on the discussion. This review will provide good guidance to systematically study the catalytic mechanism of single‐atom catalysts and reasonably design the single‐atom catalysts.
Ionic Liquids for the Chemical Recycling of Polymeric Materials and Control of Their Solubility

Published: January 2023

AbstractPlastics are wonderful materials that have modernized our daily life; however, importance of effective recycling of plastics is gradually recognized widely. In this account, we describe our discovery of new and efficient methods for the chemical recycling of plastics using ionic liquids (ILs). Since the chemical recycling usually requires high temperature conditions to breakdown chemical bonds in polymeric materials, we thought that less‐flammability and non‐volatility of ionic liquids are the most suitable physical properties for this purpose. Ionic liquids successfully depolymerized polyamides and unsaturated polyesters smoothly and corresponding monomeric materials were obtained in good yields. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first use of Ionic liquids for such reactions. However, we encountered another difficult problem‐separation. To solve the problem, we developed solubility‐switchable ionic liquids, a new type of ionic liquids in which solubility is readily changed using the chemistry of protective groups. Conversion between hydrophilic and lipophilic forms was readily achieved using a simple chemical treatment under mild conditions, and the complete separation of products was achieved by liquid‐liquid‐extraction. The robustness of either form unlocks their wide use as reaction solvents.
Evaluate your credentials to assess whether skills are useful in the workplace, valuable to students
Authors: Sutton Halley 
Published: January 2023

CHICAGO — Can students actually demonstrate the skills they learn from your programs in a way that will better their life outcomes? And do employers understand the competencies students gain when they graduate from your institution? It's a question on the minds of many who work in higher education, and it has an impact for your institution in terms of showing students the value of their degrees. The landscape of college credentials is growing, sowing further confusion as each institution often has its own language for discussing similar skills or competencies.
Post‐mortem redistribution of drugs and other factors affecting interpretation: A review
Authors: Drummer Olaf H. , Gerostamoulos Dimitri 
Published: January 2023

AbstractChanges in the post‐mortem concentration of drugs, such as through redistributive processes are well known, although not well understood in terms of the mechanisms operating in particular cases and the extent it influences an interpretation of the reported concentrations. This advanced review outlines the mechanisms known to potentially alter blood and tissue concentrations and focuses on publications over the last decade that attempt to quantify the extent of changes occurring for specific drugs or drug classes. Most of the more recent studies show time‐dependent changes that do not always alter concentrations in one direction, let alone to the same extent. This increases the uncertainty of interpretation, particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index. Nevertheless, guidelines are provided in this review to improve interpretation of post‐mortem drug concentrations in cases where a psychoactive substance(s) are a possible contribution to death.This article is categorized under:Toxicology > Post‐Mortem
Vulnerabilities and Psychological Adjustment Resources in Career Development
Authors: Rossier Jérôme , Urbanaviciute Ieva , Gander Fabian , Hofmann Jenny , Masdonati Jonas , Ruch Willibald 
Published: January 2023

AbstractTo describe vulnerabilities and resources in career development, it is important to consider a life-span and life-long perspective, the different layers of a person’s self, and the interaction between the person and the surrounding environment. To this end, macro- (i.e., public policies, labor market transformations), meso- (i.e., family structure, organizations), and micro-level (i.e., personal factors) determinants have to be considered. The impact of these different levels in our contemporary word leads to a destandardization of career paths and to an increase in the number and complexity of career transitions posing a challenge to people because of the associated risk of marginalization, especially for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. To understand the dynamics of career development and related adjustment processes, it is important to consider the interplay between work-related vulnerabilities and employees’ adjustment resources. Several contextual resources, such as peer support, or personal resources, such as adaptability, are known to promote work-related and general well-being. This carries important implications for policy-making, promoting life-long learning and guidance, decent and sustainable work, and social inclusion. Moreover, it informs various interventions, in particular those aimed at increasing access to life-long guidance for all.
Synthesis: Overcoming Vulnerability? The Constitution and Activation of Reserves throughout Life Trajectories
Authors: Widmer Eric D. , Baeriswyl Marie , Ganjour Olga 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter emphasize several dimensions of resources as reserves. Lifelong dynamics are crucial for the understanding of vulnerability development across adulthood. The chapters of this section all contribute empirically to the understanding of resource dynamics through the life course. They tackle important issues regarding long-term processes of resilience and vulnerability. They show the importance of developing a lifelong perspective on resources when dealing with various outcomes (i.e., health, well-being, income, social capital). The contributions highlight the existence of a diversity of individual reserves to avoid or deal with critical events. This diversity refers to various levels: micro (e.g., educational, psycho-social), meso (e.g. relational) and macro (e.g. social policies). The systematic accumulation of (dis)advantages across life course is questioned, and, conversely, the existence of individual reserves making dynamics of resilience for more vulnerable individuals possible. The impact of socio-historical contexts on reserve dynamics will be considered, enabling the consideration of historical time as a critical factor stressed by the life course paradigm.

AbstractCritical life events, such as partner loss, in the second half of life pose a significant threat to well-being. Divorce and bereavement have negative consequences for mental and physical health, identity, social relationships and financial adequacy, among others, which can lead to loss of resources and trigger vulnerability. The LIVES “Intimate Partner Loss Study” investigates adaptation to these critical life events in later life, that is also challenged by age-related changes. Specifically, the focus of this study lied on the investigation of patterns of adaptation and their characteristics, considering different types of resources (e.g., intimate partner, personality traits), personal growth, and accumulation and persistence of disadvantage (e.g., critical life events across the life course). It is a prospective longitudinal study (3 waves of data collection) that was conducted in the French and German-speaking parts of Switzerland from 2012 to 2016. The sample consisted of 963 separated or divorced individuals, 563 widow(er)s, and 1279 continuously married individuals (more than 15 years), who served as a reference group. Results highlighted the different adaptation patterns to later life divorce and bereavement regarding timing, coping mechanisms, and resilience, and furthermore identified individuals who became more vulnerable after the critical partner loss events. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
Vulnerabilities in Local Contexts

Published: January 2023

AbstractMeso-level contexts (e.g., neighbourhood or community contexts) have a profound influence on vulnerability trajectories. They may mediate, mitigate, or reinforce the impact of variables such as gender, age or social class. This chapter studies how meso-level economic factors cushion or worsen the negative effects of adverse circumstances on people’s socio-economic trajectories, health outcomes, or political attitudes. This chapter showcases four case studies, which show: (1) that meso-level labour market contexts can alter the size of the penalties associated with low levels of educational attainment or a more disadvantaged background for young people seeking employment for the first time; (2) that meso-level social networks act as multipliers of inequality; close social ties in the neighbourhood increase the probability of exiting unemployment in resourceful neighbourhoods, whereas they decrease the probability of unemployment exits in deprived neighbourhoods; (3) that people residing in locations with higher levels of income inequality perceive others as being more competitive, which produces paradoxical effects on their self-rated health and undermines the psychological health of the most economically vulnerable; (4) how the confrontation with meso-level inequality and diversity shapes people’s beliefs in meritocracy and examine how everyday experiences of local inequality reinforces or weakens people’s belief in meritocratic value.
Cardy expansion of 3d superconformal indices and corrections to the dual black hole entropy
Authors: Lezcano Alfredo González , Jerdee Maximilian , Pando Zayas Leopoldo A. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We consider the superconformal index of three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 supersymmetric field theories computed via localization on S1 × S2. We systematically develop an expansion where the ratio of the radius of S1 to the radius of S2 is taken very small — a Cardy-like expansion. We emphasize the sub-leading structures in this Cardy-like expansion as well as their interplay with the large-N limit for theories with gauge group of the form product of U(N) factors. We demonstrate that taking the large-N limit first leads to an expression for the effective action yielding the index that only includes terms proportional to 1/β and powers of βi=0,1,2 where β is the ratio of radii. As we depart from the β → 0 limit for finite N, we find indications of non-perturbative contributions of the form e−1/β. We present an explicit evaluation of the superconformal index for the ABJM theory in the large-N limit that is exact in β up to non-perturbative corrections. For the ABJM theory we explore the implications of the Cardy-like expansion for corrections to the entropy of the rotating, electricallly charged, asymptotically AdS4 dual black hole. Interestingly, we find a closed form for the entropy that includes all perturbative corrections in β and takes the form of the leading order expression but with shifted charges.
The vibrational properties of native and thermally modified wood in dependence on its moisture content
Authors: Buchelt Beate , Krüger Robert , Wagenführ André 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe vibrational properties of spruce (Picea abies Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) were investigated in this study in dependence on the relative humidity (RH). The RH was measured at 20 °C ranging from oven-dried to 85%. For the evaluation of the vibrational properties the dynamic modulus of elasticity E’ and the damping coefficient tan δ were measured at 7 climate steps. The same samples used for the vibrational tests were afterwards mildly thermally modified at 180 °C and measured at the same climate steps. Both wood species were compared and evaluated considering the property changes (E’, tan δ, sorption isotherms and volume swelling) due to the thermal modification. The chosen modification resulted in a marginal change in the vibrational properties of spruce, whereas the properties of beech were clearly changed. The vibrational properties of beech could be improved in the usual RH range (35–85%) due to this thermal modification. For spruce, it was concluded that a mild modification, conducted in this study, is not suitable for improving the vibrational properties. Further conclusions concerning the underlying causes as well as the use in musical instruments were drawn.
