AbstractThe Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well‐being Scale (WEMWBS) is a widely used tool to assess mental well‐being and life satisfaction in various populations. However, the psychometric properties of the WEMWBS in Arabic‐speaking populations have not been established. This study aimed to validate and assess the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the WEMWBS among adolescents. A rigorous translation process was conducted, and the scale was administered to 470 participants aged 13–18 years in Qatar. The data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistency, and validity assessments. The results showed that the Arabic version of the WEMWBS had a unidimensional structure, with high factor loadings and good internal consistency. The findings suggest that the Arabic version of the WEMWBS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mental well‐being and life satisfaction among Arabic‐speaking adolescents. These results can facilitate the use of the Arabic WEMWBS scale in different mental well‐being studies that include Arabic‐speaking populations.

AbstractIntroduction/AimsThere is clear evidence for brain involvement in childhood myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) from imaging studies and the prevalence of intellectual impairment and neurodevelopmental disorders. The cognitive profile of children with DM1 however is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess the cognitive profile of children with DM1.MethodsNeuropsychological examination reports of 45 children aged 2–17 y were analyzed. All cognitive subtests used in this cohort were pooled in 10 cognitive domains. For every patient a composite z‐score was calculated for every assessed domain. Composite scores were classified as average (z > −1), mild cognitive impairment (−1 ≥ z > −2), or major cognitive impairment (z ≤ −2).ResultsThe nature and extent of neuropsychological examinations differed between centers and patients. The domains with the highest frequency of major cognitive impairment were social cognition (4/9 children tested; 44%), attention (13/32; 41%), and fine motor skills (3/10; 30%). Combining mild and major cognitive impairment, working memory (20/28; 71%), attention (21/32; 66%), and visuospatial functions (16/28; 57%) were the most frequently affected domains. Long‐term memory was least affected, with mild impairment only in 5/29 (17%).DiscussionChildren with DM1 may have specific cognitive deficits, most frequently affecting working memory, attention, and visuospatial functions, in addition to the previously described global intellectual impairments. We recommend including a standardized neuropsychological examination in the standards of care for DM1 children. Early recognition of cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders in children with DM1 can improve their management.

AbstractA two‐scale method combined with micro‐CT is presented for the prediction of 3D printed continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. The proposed method is verified by tensile experiments. The distribution of voids and fibers is reconstructed and quantified by two micro‐CT scans with different resolutions. Then the two‐scale models are established according to the scanned data. Effective properties of fiber‐rich region are predicted by the micro‐scale analysis of the representative volume element, and then transferred into the meso‐scale analysis. In meso‐scale analysis, the high‐fidelity generalized method of cells is applied to predicted elastic parameters of the printed samples. While maintaining the overall fiber volume fraction, the fiber volume fraction in the fiber‐rich region is very important for the accuracy of prediction.

AbstractThe recycling of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced bio‐based degradable epoxy resin composites is of great significance for resource saving, environment protection and sustainable development of economy and society. Resin transfer molding (RTM) has been recognized as one of the most promising processes to manufacture CF Reinforced polymeric composites cost‐effectively. The bio‐based diglycidyl ether pentaerythritol vanillin diacetal (DEPVD) epoxy resin used in this study is an epoxy resin that can be degradable under mild conditions. And its CF composites were prepared by the RTM process using DDS as a curing agent and low viscosity bisphenol A‐E51 epoxy resin as a diluent. The chemical rheological properties, curing behavior, thermal stability, dynamic viscoelasticity and mechanical properties of DDS‐E51‐DDS epoxy resin were investigated. It is found that the increase of DEPVD content is beneficial to improve the mechanical properties, Tg and solid residue after thermal degradation of DEPVD‐E51‐DDS epoxy resin. Moreover, the effects of DEPVD content in epoxy resin on the mechanical properties of CF/DEPVD‐E51‐DDS composites were evaluated. When the DEPVD content is 70%, the tensile and flexural strength of CF/EPVD‐E51‐DDS composites are 1649.4 MPa and 1207.4 MPa, respectively. The degradability and mechanism of CF/DEPVD‐E51‐DDS composites were further investigated. CF/DEPVD‐E51‐DDS composites containing 70% DEPVD have excellent degradability, and the recycled CFs exhibit comparable mechanical properties to the virgin CFs, which demonstrates a novel way to recover the high‐quality of used CFs.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to review the optimal timing of delivery at term for neonates with prenatally diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We reviewed the literature up to December 19, 2022 using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library databases. The inclusion criteria were original articles, comparative studies of CDH neonates delivered at an early term (37–38 weeks of gestation) and at full term (39 weeks of gestation or later), and comparative studies investigating outcomes of CDH neonates. Six studies met the inclusion criteria, including 985 neonates delivered at an early term and 629 delivered at full term. The cumulative rate of survival to discharge showed no significant difference between CDH neonates delivered at an early term (395/515; 76.7%) or at full term (345/467; 73.9%) (risk ratio [RR] 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89–1.16; p = 0.85). Furthermore, the number of neonates requiring oxygen therapy at discharge was not significantly different between CDH neonates delivered at an early term (32/370; 8.6%) and at full term (14/154; 9.1%) (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.36–2.70; p = 0.99). Therefore, the optimal timing of delivery at term for neonates with CDH remains unclear.

AbstractWe describe GuysWork, a school‐based healthy living program for adolescent boys, and share results from a pilot evaluation in Nova Scotia, Canada, during COVID‐19. The team hypothesized the program would reduce loneliness, perceived stress, and adherence to key traditional male gender role norms postprogram. A longitudinal cohort pre‐ and postsurvey design was used. One‐hundred fifty‐two participants completed sections of UCLA Loneliness Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and the Meanings of Adolescent Male‐Role Norms Scale (MAMS). Results were nonsignificant for loneliness and perceived stress. MAMS results were statistically significant with a medium effect size (r = −.26) but there are limitations in the study. This pilot study of GuysWork has resulted in important lessons learned that will ensure a forthcoming Atlantic Canada‐wide evaluation results in robust evidence with the potential to support the need for masculinity norm‐changing work specifically for adolescent boys in schools.
Water availability alters the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and determines plant mycorrhizal benefit
Authors: Frew Adam 
Published: May 2023

Societal Impact StatementThe world faces major changes in rainfall patterns and water availability, posing a significant threat to plant productions systems and food security. The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with most major crops and can support plant nutrient and water uptake. Here, AM fungi were shown to mitigate the negative effects of low water availability on sorghum growth and phosphorus uptake, an effect that was associated with shifts in the fungal community structure. To realise the potential of AM fungi in sustainable agriculture requires more examination of their interactions with edaphic stresses in crop systems.

Published: May 2023

AbstractA general method for the direct synthesis of highly homogeneous and dense polymerized carbon nitride (PCN) nanosheet films on F: SnO2 (FTO) is developed. Detailed photoelectrochemical (PEC) water‐splitting studies reveal that the as‐synthesized PCN films exhibit outstanding performance as photoanode for PEC water‐splitting. The optimal PCN photoanode exhibits excellent photocurrent density of 650 µA cm−2, and monochromatic incident photon‐to‐electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) value up to 30.55% (λ = 400 nm) and 25.97% (λ = 420 nm) at 1.23 VRHE in 0.1 m KOH electrolyte. More importantly, the PCN photoanode has an excellent hole extraction efficiency of up to 70 ± 3% due to the abundance of active sites provided by the PCN photoanode nanosheet, which promotes the transport rates of OER‐relevant species. These PCN films provide a new benchmark for PCN photoanode materials.

AbstractNumerous structures have been functionally optimized for directional liquid transport in nature. Inspired by lush trees’ xylem that enable liquid directional transportation from rhizomes to the tip of trees, a new kind of programmable microfluidic porous matrices using projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) based 3D printing technique is fabricated. Structural matrices with internal superhydrophilicity and external hydrophobicity are assembled for ultra‐fast liquid rising enabled by capillary force. Moreover, the unidirectional microfluidic performance of the bionic porous matrices can be theoretically optimized by adjusting its geometric parameters. Most significantly, the successive programmable flow of liquid in a preferred direction inside the bionic porous matrices with tailored wettability is achieved, validating by a precisely printed liquid displayer and a microfluidic logic chip. The programmable and functional microfluidic matrices promise applications of patterned liquid flow, displayer, logic chip, cell screening, gas–liquid separation, and so on.

AbstractCdxHg1−xSe/HgS/CdyZn1−yS core/multi‐shell quantum dots (QDs) exhibiting bright tissue‐penetrating shortwave infrared (SWIR; 1000–1700 nm) photoluminescence (PL) are engineered. The new structure consists of a quasi‐type‐II CdxHg1−xSe/HgS core/inner shell domain creating luminescent bandgap tunable across SWIR window and a wide‐bandgap CdyZn1−yS outer shell boosting the PL quantum yield (QY). This compositional sequence also facilitates uniform and coherent shell growth by minimizing interfacial lattice mismatches, resulting in high QYs in both organic (40–80%) and aqueous (20–70%) solvents with maximum QYs of 87 and 73%, respectively, which are comparable to those of brightest visible‐to‐near infrared QDs. Moreover, they maintain bright PL in a photocurable resin (QY 40%, peak wavelength ≈ 1300 nm), enabling the fabrication of SWIR‐luminescent composites of diverse morphology and concentration. These composites are used to localize controlled amounts of SWIR QDs inside artificial (Intralipid) and porcine tissues and quantitatively evaluate the applicability as luminescent probes for deep‐tissue imaging.

Published: May 2023

AbstractFlexible piezoresistive sensors with biological structures are widely exploited for high sensitivity and detection. However, the conventional bionic structure pressure sensors usually suffer from irreconcilable conflicts between high sensitivity and wide detection response range. Herein, a triple periodic minimum surface (TPMS) structure sensor is proposed based on parametric structural design and 3D printing techniques. Upon tailoring of the dedicated structural parameters, the resulting sensors exhibit superior compression durability, high sensitivity, and ultra–high detection range, that enabling it meets the needs of various scenes. As a model system, TPMS structure sensor with 40.5% porosity exhibits an ultra–high sensitivity (132 kPa−1 in 0–5.7 MPa), wide detection strain range (0–31.2%), high repeatability and durability (1000 cycles in 4.41 MPa, 10000 s in 1.32 MPa), and low detection limit (1% in 80 kPa). The stress/strain distributions have been identified using finite element analysis. Toward practical applications, the TPMS structural sensors can be applied to detect human activity and health monitoring (i.e., voice recognition, finger pressure, sitting, standing, walking, and falling down behaviors). The synergistic effects of MWCNTs and MXene conductive network also ensure the composite further being utilized for electromagnetic interference shielding applications.

Published: May 2023

AbstractHere, a paraffin/liquid metal (LM)/graphene hybrid thermal composite material with a high thermal‐conductivity as well as high latent heat is developed. The paraffin is encapsulated in calcium alginate, which produces leakage‐free phase change material (PCM) capsules. LM is filled among the gaps of PCM capsules to enhance overall heat conduction. Graphene nano‐sheets coating attains efficient heat dissipation because of its high spectral emissivity (>91%) in the spectrum of the mid‐infrared region. The developed material is verified to have strong compatibility and durable stability. The composite is utilized as a thermal buffer (TB) for central processing unit thermal management to demonstrate the synergy of these superior thermal properties. In certain cases, active cooling normally used could be replaced by the developed TB without any energy consumption for thermal management, demonstrating a completely passive cooling strategy. Compared to traditional heat sink active cooling, general energy savings of 10.4–26.3% could thus be achieved by the developed composite in wider operating conditions, proving its potential for more efficient and sustainable data center cooling alongside thermal management of other ground‐based electrical/electronic equipment.

AbstractSingle‐piece flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have light and ultrathin superiorities, thereby having great potential in portable/wearable electronics. However, all the available single‐piece FSCs are fabricated by in situ growth routes, which are incompatible with large‐scale technology. This work designs a carboxymethyl cellulose/phytic acid/polyaniline ink, incorporating electrode with electrolyte active compositions. Based on the electrode/electrolyte active ink, a double‐face print technique on mixed cellulose ester and nylon membranes to fabricate single‐piece membrane‐FSCs, where both sides of membranes can be utilized well, is proposed. Consequently, one FSC is measured to be only ≈0.785 cm2 in area, ≈0.021 g in weight, and ≈200 µm in thickness, while it has exceptional areal and volumetric capacitances up to 757 mF cm−2 and 37.8 F cm−3, respectively, based on the entire device. It also exhibits high flexibility with a capacitance retention of 98% after 2000 bend cycles from 0° to 180°. The state‐of‐the‐art FSCs are expected to have exciting prospects in portable/wearable electronics, smart reading, and flexible displays. The preparation strategy renders the massive production of large‐area and mini‐size arrayed FSCs, and also the “do‐it‐yourself” or homemade preparation, which adds more interest and designability for general users.

AbstractIn the current era that it is strongly expected the SDGs would be achieved, electrolyte solutions in electrochemical devices and processes are being studied from dilute and concentrated solutions, through inorganic molten salts, deep eutectic solvents, and ionic liquids, to super‐concentrated solutions. Although concepts based on empirical laws such as the Walden rule and hydrodynamics such as the Stokes rule are still useful for ionic conduction in solution, it is expected that superionic conduction‐like mechanisms that are scarcely found in conventional electrolytes. Here, the authors′ recent results are described based on the local structure and speciation of ionic species in solution, focusing on protons and lithium ions.

ABSTRACTObjectiveWhile in‐utero treatment of sustained fetal supraventricular arrhythmia (SVA) is standard practice in the previable and preterm fetus, data are limited on best practice for late preterm (34 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks), early term (37 + 0 to 38 + 6 weeks) and term (> 39 weeks) fetuses with SVA. We reviewed the delivery and postnatal outcomes of fetuses at ≥ 35 weeks of gestation undergoing treatment rather than immediate delivery.MethodsThis was a retrospective case series of fetuses presenting at ≥ 35 weeks of gestation with sustained SVA and treated transplacentally at six institutions between 2012 and 2022. Data were collected on gestational age at presentation and delivery, SVA diagnosis (short ventriculoatrial (VA) tachycardia, long VA tachycardia or atrial flutter), type of antiarrhythmic medication used, interval between treatment and conversion to sinus rhythm and postnatal SVA recurrence.ResultsOverall, 37 fetuses presented at a median gestational age of 35.7 (range, 35.0–39.7) weeks with short VA tachycardia (n = 20), long VA tachycardia (n = 7) or atrial flutter (n = 10). Four (11%) fetuses were hydropic. In‐utero treatment led to restoration of sinus rhythm in 35 (95%) fetuses at a median of 2 (range, 1–17) days; this included three of the four fetuses with hydrops. Antiarrhythmic medications included flecainide (n = 11), digoxin (n = 7), sotalol (n = 11) and dual therapy (n = 8). Neonates were liveborn at 36–41 weeks via spontaneous vaginal delivery (23/37 (62%)) or Cesarean delivery (14/37 (38%)). Cesarean delivery was indicated for fetal SVA in two fetuses, atrial ectopy or sinus bradycardia in three fetuses and obstetric reasons in nine fetuses that were in sinus rhythm at the time of delivery. Twenty‐one (57%) cases were treated for recurrent SVA after birth.ConclusionIn‐utero treatment of the near term and term (≥ 35‐week) SVA fetus is highly successful even in the presence of hydrops, with the majority of cases delivered vaginally closer to term, thereby avoiding unnecessary Cesarean section. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
‘No Hay Nada Que Celebrar’: Music, Migration, and Violence in Luis Estrada’s El Infierno (2010)
Authors: Avila Jacqueline 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDramatic interpretations of the drug war in Latin America have within recent years increased in number, particularly with television shows such as the Netflix original series Narcos (2015) and Telemundo’s telenovela La reina del sur (2011). During this decade, one of the more significant cinematic contributions is Luis Estrada’s 2010 film El Infierno, which premiered in a sea of controversy. The film follows the protagonist Benny as he transitions from a recently deported undocumented immigrant to a narco-assassin in northern Mexico. To amplify this transition, El Infierno utilises narcocorridos and música norteña, which are aural signifiers for narcocinema, and border culture. This music highlights Benny’s transformation and accompanies explicit scenes of violence, some examples ripped from the headlines from Mexico’s popular press. These musical moments provide a deeply embedded cultural association to the violence and function as a form of desensitisation as Benny witnesses the cartel’s power spin out of control. I analyse two musical moments that emulate Benny’s experiences, first as a deportee then as an assassin, reinforcing his transition from one forced identity to another while also supplying a darkly satirical yet critical commentary on the harsh realities of Mexico’s drug war.
Dark Times: Fabulation, Synchrony, and the Musical Moment Reprised

AbstractThis chapter takes up the formulation of the ‘musical moment’ in relation to questions of temporality, synchrony, and history. Drawing on the theories of Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson, the musical moment is read through three contemporary case studies: Andrea Arnold’s American Honey (2016), Hiro Murai’s music video for Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Never Catch Me’ (2014), and Barry Jenkin’s Moonlight (2016).
