AbstractOwing to the rich redox functionalities and numerous pore structure, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are directly emerging as prospective electrode materials with special properties. In the present study, exotic and unique nanomaterials of copper‐based metal‐organic framework (Cu‐MOF‐74) were successfully prepared by coordination assembly of Cu (II) and 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHTA) through the solvothermal route and served as anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries for the first time. The Cu MOF has a coral cluster‐like nanoporous morphology composed of hexagonal columns with a length of 3.0 μm and a radius of 132 nm. When tested as anode, it achieved a high reversible capability of 870.3 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1, remarkable rate performance (up to 1000 mA h g−1) and a long service life (300 cycles) in the dis‐/charge process. Such outstanding properties of the MOF anode may be mainly ascribed to the conjugated ligand moiety and the particular microstructural features. The results of this study provided insights for the rational design of primitive MOFs for advanced lithium storage.

AbstractDeveloping sustainable, inexpensive material has been proposed as a promising catalyst. Herein, we report the synthesis of new hybrid material composed of carbon nanoparticles entrapped in iron vanadate. Thus obtained new material was characterized using SEM, PXRD, Raman and XPS.The catalytic potentiality of CNP/FeVO4has been tested in the oxidation of biomass derived hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in an aqueous medium. An enhanced conversion of 5‐HMF to diformylfuran (DFF) is observed in the presence of CNP/FeVO4than FeVO4alone. The absence of expensive metals and using only water as a solvent, along with recyclability of catalyst make our catalytic method green and attractive.

AbstractApatinib, a small‐molecule VEGFR2‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown potent anticancer activity in various clinical cancer treatments, but also different adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to study its potential toxicity and working mechanism. We used zebrafish to investigate the effects of apatinib on the development of embryos. Zebrafish exposed to 2.5, 5, and 10 μM apatinib showed adverse effects such as decreased liver area, pericardial oedema, slow yolk absorption, bladder atrophy, and body length shortening. At the same time, it leads to abnormal liver tissue structure, liver function and related gene expression. Furthermore, after exposure to apatinib, oxidative stress levels were significantly elevated but liver developmental toxicity was effectively ameliorated with oxidative stress inhibitor treatment. Apatinib induces down‐regulation of key target genes of Wnt signaling pathway in zebrafish, and it is found that Wnt activator can significantly rescue liver developmental defects. These results suggest that apatinib may induce zebrafish hepatotoxicity by inhibiting the Wnt signaling pathway and up‐regulating oxidative stress, helping to strengthen our understanding of rational clinical application of apatinib.

AbstractCyclizine exhibits sedation and treatment of nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness due to antihistaminic and antimuscarinic effects. Cyclizine has the potential for abuse due to the hallucinogenic and euphoric effect. The response of overdose and illegal abuse of cyclizine includes confusion, tremors, chest pain, ataxia, seizures, and lead to suicide. Macrophage plays the important role in the innate immunity. However, over activation of macrophages results in pro‐inflammatory responses in peripheral tissues. In the present study, cyclizine was found to enhanced the generation of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α, interleukin (IL)‐1β, and IL‐6. We further found that secretion of nitrogen oxide (NO) induced by cyclizine via expression of inducible nitric oxide synthases (iNOS). Cyclizine exhibited parallel stimulation of phosphorylation of nuclear factor‐κB (NFκB) p65, and its up‐stream factor Akt. These results indicated that the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, pro‐inflammatory mediators, and adhesion molecules would be induced by cyclizine via activation of Akt‐NFκB pathway in macrophages.

Published: August 2023

AbstractLow cost and environment friendly fly ash particles and silica particles were used as additives in the rigid polyurethane foam composite. The usage of fly ash will decrease the need for its handling and exposure to environment. FTIR spectra show the absence of hydrogen bonded urea which indicates no aggregation of hard urea domains in the soft polyurethane matrix after the addition of silica/fly ash. The composite loaded with 20 weight percentage fly ash had the highest glass transition temperature. At 10 weight percentage of the additive, the gross calorific value in the fly ash loaded composite decreased by 12% when compared with the composite loaded with silica. Introduction of fly ash into the foam composite up to a certain weight percentage (10 wt%) enhanced the compressive strength of the rigid polyurethane foam composite. The percolate particle concentration was at 10 weight percentage of the additive. The addition of fly ash increased the compressive strength up to 21% compared to the foam composite loaded with silica. Addition of fly ash in the foam composite resulted in a decrease of water absorption up to 23% in comparison to the composite loaded with silica. Hence, low cost and environment friendly fly ash is suitable additive which can be loaded into rigid polyurethane foams for superior enhancement in mechanical and thermal properties.Highlights
The addition of fly ash to the foam decreased the gross calorific value up to 12% compared to that of the silica loaded foam composite.
The composite loaded with fly ash had highest normalized compressive strength and highest glass transition temperature than that of the unloaded foam. This can potentially replace conventional rigid polyurethane foam in timber constructions because of its higher compressive strength.
We propose the addition of fly ash as a low cost, environment friendly additive as it improved the various properties of the polyurethane foam composite to a greater extent than silica particles.
The greater usage of fly ash will help in the formation of a closed loop supply chain and alleviate the need for disposal of fly ash.
Rewilding and the water cycle
Authors: Harvey Gemma L. , Henshaw Alexander J. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractRewilding is a radical approach to landscape conservation that has the potential to help mitigate flood risk and low flow stresses, but this remains largely unexplored. Here, we illustrate the nature of hydrological changes that rewilding can be expected to deliver through reducing or ceasing land management, natural vegetation regeneration, species (re)introductions, and changes to river networks. This includes major changes to above‐ and below‐ground vegetation structure (and hence interception, evapotranspiration, infiltration, and hydraulic roughness), soil hydrological properties, and the biophysical structure of river channels. The novel, complex, uncertain, and longer‐term nature of rewilding‐driven change generates some key challenges, and rewilding is currently relatively constrained in geographical extent. Significant changes to the water cycle that benefit people and nature are possible but there is an urgent need for improved understanding and prediction of rewilding trajectories and their hydrological effects, generation of the knowledge and tools to facilitate stakeholder engagement, and an extension of the geography of rewilding opportunities.This article is categorized under:

Convolutional neural network framework for wind turbine electromechanical fault detection
Authors: Stone Emilie , Giani Stefano , Zappalá Donatella , Crabtree Christopher 
Published: August 2023

AbstractEffective and timely health monitoring of wind turbine gearboxes and generators is essential to reduce the costs of operations and maintenance activities, especially offshore. This paper presents a scalable and lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) framework using high‐dimensional raw condition monitoring data for the automatic detection of multiple wind turbine electromechanical faults. The proposed approach leverages the potential of combining information from a variety of signals to learn features and to discriminate the types of fault and their severity. As a result of the CNN layers used to extract features from the signals, this architecture works in the time domain and can digest high‐resolution multi‐sensor data streams in real‐time. To overcome the inherent black‐box nature of AI models, this research proposes two interpretability techniques, multidimensional scaling and layer‐wise relevance propagation, to analyse the proposed model's inner‐working and identify the signal features relevant for fault classification. Experimental results show high performance and classification accuracies above 99.9% for all fault cases tested, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed fault‐detection system.
European Fashion Companies and Chinese Social Media Influencers
Authors: Liu Joanna , Cantoni Lorenzo 
Published: August 2023

AbstractEuropean fashion companies – especially luxury ones – have been struggling to enter the Chinese market because of this market’s financial dimensions. However, in order to do so in an effective way, they need to localize their practices and messages, so to address such a different market in an adequate way. When it comes to digital media, different channels, players, and practices are to be considered, due to the Chinese policy of banning most of external social media players. Also, when it comes to the choice of Chinese social media influencers, European brands need to find the right characters, able to embody them in front of Chinese consumers. The case of online live stream sales and of Huang Wei – also known as Viya – has recently demonstrated both how powerful such influencers can be, as well as how their status can change in a few days – she moved from being a “Queen Midas” into becoming a tax evader – with possible negative impacts onto the companies she is working with. The paper presents in-depth interviews with managers of European companies from the luxury sector, responsible to run their online communication in the Chinese market, presenting and discussing their choices of Chinese social media influencers and the reasons for those.
What Would Kachru Wear? A Discourse Analysis of Global Englishes in Fashion Weblogs from Expanding Circle Countries
Authors: Lenoir Lisa D. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe fashion weblog (blog) emerged as a space on the Internet to disseminate colorful visuals and complementary stories to chronicle individual musings and promote brands. Fashion and beauty trends, retail news, on-the-street candid shots of personal style, and shopping hauls appeared on homepages and hamburger menus. Content creators connect viewers to matters of taste and socio-cultural implications of style and dress as a way of expression. Scholars look to understand its connection to gender; its cultural production practices; and its legitimacy in the print and digital journalism and media field. I aim to expand the discourse of fashion communication knowledge production of these cultural products and examine English as a lingua franca connecting bloggers from countries such as France, Brazil, and Japan across the digital landscape. This discourse analysis employs Braj Kachru’s model of Global Englishes to identify content and relies on theoretical frameworks of Gramsci’s hegemony and Bourdieu’s cultural capital to interpret rhetorical choices made. I argue English enables bloggers to make definitive statements about identity and culture and contribute to the international discourse about matters of taste.
Communication of Fashion Sustainability in the USSR and Modern Russia: What Does the Young Generation Know About Ecological and Social Agendas in Fashion?
Authors: Karamalak Olga , Sokolova Tatiana 
Published: August 2023

AbstractFashion sustainability is promoted and is slowly developing in modern Russia; however, this concept used to be popular back in the USSR under the notion of “saving”. The research objectives are: 1) to give an overview of social and ecological practices in the USSR and modern Russia; 2) to determine the current awareness of youth about fashion sustainability, and (3) to define what actions young Russians take to follow this trend. For these purposes an online survey was conducted between October and December, 2022 among Russian students. It showed that the respondents do know some of the practices of fashion sustainability, even without following fashion trends in general, and they practise them; however, their priorities, while buying clothing, are price, quality and comfort. To conclude, the communication of social and eco-agendas in fashion should be enhanced in Russia, brands should prioritise Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Conscious consumption and ethical attitudes to fashion should be encouraged and maintained at all levels, including businesses (brands, mass markets, etc.), Non Profit Organisations (NPOs), bloggers or influencers on social media, educational initiatives, and cultural and historical events (fashion shows, museums, etc.). The broader the coverage of the issue from different perspectives, the more engaged consumers will become.
Extended Reality (XR) in the Digital Fashion Landscape
Authors: Faria Ana Paula , Cunha Joana 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe fashion industry is progressively investing in technology, and the benefits of Extended Reality (XR) are not going unnoticed. Despite widespread interest in the topic, the literature is limited and the topic is poorly understood. This study brings XR in fashion to the forefront. Based on a review of several sources (latest news, reports, and literature), it describes the current landscape, presents the advantages and downsides of immersive technologies, and provides useful advice for practitioners. The results suggest that brands can leverage XR to establish close connections with consumers through personalised experiences and compelling stories. Moreover, some of the intricacies of XR are discussed, namely, costs and unresolved technical issues. Crafting meaningful XR experiences requires expertise in multiple domains, adding value to consumers through enhanced features and striving for quality.
Tri-hypercharge: a separate gauged weak hypercharge for each fermion family as the origin of flavour
Authors: Navarro Mario Fernández , King Stephen F. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We propose a tri-hypercharge (TH) extension of the Standard Model (SM) in which a separate gauged weak hypercharge is associated with each fermion family. In this way, every quark and lepton multiplet carries unique gauge quantum numbers under the extended gauge group, providing the starting point for a theory of flavour. If the Higgs doublets only carry third family hypercharge, then only third family renormalisable Yukawa couplings are allowed. However, non-renormalisable Yukawa couplings may be induced by the high scale Higgs fields (hyperons) which break the three hypercharges down to the SM hypercharge, providing an explanation for fermion mass hierarchies and the smallness of CKM quark mixing. Following a similar methodology, we study the origin of neutrino masses and mixing in this model. Due to the TH gauge symmetry, the implementation of a seesaw mechanism naturally leads to a low scale seesaw, where the right-handed neutrinos in the model may be as light as the TeV scale. We present simple examples of hyperon fields which can reproduce all quark and lepton (including neutrino) masses and mixing. After a preliminary phenomenological study, we conclude that one of the massive Z′ bosons can be as light as a few TeV, with implications for flavour-violating observables, LHC physics and electroweak precision observables.
M-theory moduli from exceptional complex structures

Abstract
We continue the analysis of the geometry of generic Minkowski $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 1, D = 4 flux compactifications in M-theory using exceptional generalised geometry, including the calculation of the infinitesimal moduli spaces. The backgrounds can be classified into two classes: type-0 and type-3. For type-0, we review how the moduli arise from standard de Rham cohomology classes. We also argue that, under reasonable assumptions, there are no appropriate sources to support compact flux backgrounds for this class and so the only solutions are in fact G2 geometries. For type-3 backgrounds, given a suitable $$ {\partial}^{\prime }{\overline{\partial}}^{\prime } $$

-lemma, we show that the moduli can be calculated from a cohomology based on an involutive sub-bundle of the complexified tangent space. Using a simple spectral sequence we prove quite generally that the presence of flux can only reduce the number of moduli compared with the fluxless case. We then use the formalism to calculate the moduli of heterotic M-theory and show they match those of the dual Hull-Strominger system as expected.
Dynamic modelling of consumption patterns using LA-AIDS: a comparative study of developed versus developing countries

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe traditional applied demand system estimation assumes that when consumer income and commodity prices change, the consumers instantaneously fully adjust to a new consumption equilibrium level and use a static demand system such as Static Linear Almost Ideal Demand System (Static LA-AIDS) for estimation. However, in real-life situations, such an assumption does not hold as consumers take time to settle to a new consumption equilibrium level. Hence, dynamic demand system estimations generate more nuanced insights into the short-run dynamics of consumer demand. This paper estimates two forms of dynamic versions of AIDS, Dynamic LA-AIDS and the error-corrected LA-AIDS, and compares the results with the Static LA-AIDS. The paper also models the consumption patterns of consumers in developed and developing countries and provides a comparative analysis of implied elasticities using recent data. The results show that the dynamic models support demand theory hypotheses—demand homogeneity and Slutsky symmetry—more than the static model. The estimated mean own-price elasticities reveal that the demand in the short-run and long-run is price inelastic across all countries. Long-run and short-run income elasticities demonstrated notable variation across various commodity groups and country groups. For example, the restaurant meal is a luxury in the short-run for all countries. In the long-run, it is a necessity in developed countries and a luxury in developing countries. Food and housing are necessities; durables, transport and recreation are luxuries in developed and developing countries in the long-run and short-run.
Antibacterial efficiency over time and barrier properties of wood coatings with colloidal silver
Authors: Calovi Massimo , Coroneo Valentina , Rossi Stefano 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis work aims to represent a standard application for understanding the extent of the antibacterial efficacy of coatings with different amounts of colloidal silver on wooden surfaces over time. The key variable that was intended to be evaluated in this study was the “time efficiency,” with concerns about the possible efficacy in the durability of the surfaces. By highlighting the “expiry date” of the agents, as in the case with other products, the study aimed to confirm the validity of the simulation tests conducted in the laboratory with degradation tests. Furthermore, the role of the silver amount on the barrier performance of the coatings was assessed by liquid resistance, water uptake, and perspiration tests, evaluating the aesthetic durability of the coatings by means of colorimetric analyses. Ultimately, this work demonstrates that these coatings may represent alternatives in terms of prolonged antimicrobial activity when compared with the biocide agents currently in use, capable to offer good resistance to detergent solutions and to water. Nevertheless, due to silver’s susceptibility to extended exposure to acidic solutions, the findings of the research discourage the utilization of colloidal silver in wood paints intended for use in public settings.Key points•Colloidal silver does not alter the deposition process and does not introduce defects in the wood paint.•Coatings containing silver show high antimicrobial activity over time, against both E.coli and S.aureus.•The silver-based filler resists contact with detergents and aqueous solutions but suffers oxidation processes in acidic environments.
