Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes resulting in visual impairment. Controlling the progression of diabetic retinopathy and living with visual impairment are crucial tasks and skills for older people with diabetic retinopathy and visual impairment. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a self- and family management support program on health outcomes of Thai older people with diabetic retinopathy and visual impairment who lived with family members in the community and on family satisfaction. Eighty-four participants were recruited at an eye-specialized hospital in a central province of Thailand and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 42) or the comparison group (n = 42). The experimental group received the intervention program plus usual care, while the comparison group received only usual care. Instruments for data collection included a Demographic Data Form, the Perceived Security in Performance of Daily Life Activities Questionnaire, the Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire, the Sirindhorn National Medical Rehabilitation Center Functional Assessment, the Thai Visual Function Questionnaire 28, and the Family Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square, two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Results showed that the experimental group had significantly more improved perceived security, self-management behavior, HbA1c, visual-related quality of life: performing activities dimension, and family satisfaction than the comparison group at Week 16. However, no significant differences in perceived security, self-management behavior, functional ability, and overall visual-related quality of life were found between the two groups at Week 8. This program be further tested before being implemented into practice. However, it has a potential for healthcare providers to create an intervention program encompassing disease control and skill training for older people with diabetic retinopathy and visual impairment and encourage their families to support them.

The insurance sector has witnessed growth in both the corporate and private sectors driven by increased insurance uptake among corporations and individuals. However, despite the dynamic nature of the sector, some insurance firms face significant challenges in keeping up with their counterparts. To address the performance variations in the insurance sector, it is crucial to examine strategic capabilities such as technical knowledge, innovation, learning culture and service quality and their impact on performance of NSE listed firms in Kenya. This study aims to investigate how strategic capabilities influence the performance of these firms. The specific objectives of the study were: to examine the effect of innovation capability on the performance of NSE-listed insurance companies in Kenya; to determine the effect of service quality capability on the performance of NSE-listed insurance companies in Kenya; to investigate the effect of technical knowledge capability on the performance of NSE-listed insurance companies in Kenya and to examine the effect of learning culture capability on the performance of NSE-listed insurance companies in Kenya. The study was anchored on the Resource based view theory, Knowledge based view and Dynamic capabilities theories. A descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted targeting 258 senior staff members of six listed insurance firms on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. A sample size of 156 respondents was determined by Yamane formula and stratified random sampling technique used for sample selection. Structured questionnaire was used for primary data collection with a pilot test involving 16 respondents to ensure the validity and reliability of the research instrument. Data analysis was performed with an aid of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) software employing descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression models. The findings revealed that innovation strategic capability, service quality strategic capability, technical knowledge strategic capability and learning culture strategic capability all had a positive significant relationship with performance of NSE-listed insurance companies in Kenya.

Published: August 2023

Aim: This study was aimed at using sharp sand as an adsorbent to optimize the removal of Pb ionsfrom simulated water and water obtained from Enyigba River.
Study Design: Adsorption experiment was designed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was also used to predict % Pb(II)removal.
Place and Duration of Study: Department Of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, June 2012 to June 2023.
Methodology: Sharp sand was modified with salicylic acid, noted as SSM and then characterized. Experiments were carried out by varying four adsorption factors: concentration, time, pH and temperature. Adsorption experiments were also done for equilibrium isotherm, kinetics and thermodynamic studies.
Results: The modified sharp sand showed a high percentage of silicon. RSM and ANN predicted the sorption of Pb(II) well with R2 values > 0.9. The optimal values for concentration, time, pH and temperature are 0.0125mg/l, 100sec, 2, 20oC respectively. Langmuir isotherm gave the better fit and adsorption was endothermic with positive ∆H. Adsorption followed second-order kinetics. FTIR analysis showed the presence of functional groups that were responsible for adsorption. Enyigba River water is slightly polluted with lead ions with concentrations higher than WHO standard.
Conclusion: The adsorbent was able to remove over 70% of the metal ions from both the simulated and Enyigba River water.

Published: August 2023

Aims: To study the diversity of Ornamental fishes as native species by origin from certain parts of Southern Bengal, have importance in export world of ornamental trading in and across India along with their status in natural habitats.
Study Design: An intricate survey was performed along with formal-informal interviews
Place and Duration of Study: Survey sites included Howrah, North 24 Paraganas and South 24 Paraganas, Fish Markets, Pet Markets, and Several Fish Farms.
Methodology: Live specimens after collecting from natural water bodies like ponds, canals, rivers with the help of fishing nets and gears, are immediately preserved in 5% formalin. Later identification and further investigations are completed in the laboratory.
Results: 70 native species from 9 orders were enlisted to for their potentiality but few are exporting from Kolkata market and have gained popularity. 23 indigenous varieties are regularly exporting from Southern Bengal. Some of those species can be kept commercially in aquarium without hurting their biology.
Conclusion: This entire practice of export and domestic supply rely upon mostly wild capture which is unorganised and sometimes unauthorised, ultimately impacts on declination of population and downward indication of biodiversity. Additionally, environmental issues and also anthropogenic activities such as habitat destruction, fragmentation, alteration of water quality due to water pollution, agri-based effluents etc. confirm their loss in nature. Finally, this study recommends that appropriate managements on breeding and culture, quality feed development, consciousness about the species, awareness on the role of species in ecological terms, proper training can only forbid these native wealth from extinction in near future.
Prescribed performance control for uncertain underactuated systems via constraint‐following with application to a PVTOL aircraft

Published: August 2023

SummaryGuaranteeing prescribed transient and steady state performance (TSSP) for mechanical systems is of great significance to their motion control, motivating the prescribed performance control (PPC). This study investigates the PPC for uncertain underactuated systems. We consider time‐varying (possibly fast), bounded uncertainty including large mismatched portions, however the bound is unknown. The control design is implemented via constraint‐following, that is, rendering the system to follow a series of servo constraints. We hence impose the prescribed TSSP on the constraint‐following error. An approximation‐free adaptive robust PPC based on a state transformation technique is designed, achieving approximate constraint‐following and guaranteeing the prescribed TSSP to be satisfied. It employs an adaptive law to online estimate the unknown bounds for uncertainty compensation. It does not assume sufficiently small mismatched uncertainties, hence admitting large mismatched uncertainties. The stability of the controlled underactuated systems is sustained by rigorous proofs. By the proposed approach, the PPC of a planar vertical take‐off and landing aircraft is explored, which also illustrates the effectiveness of the approach.

AbstractThe development of mutually reinforcing solar‐driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) and integrated functional materials/systems to achieve efficient production of freshwater and energy/matters simultaneously under extremely high solar utilization is in high demand. Herein, an integrated SDIE reaction system (reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐palladium (Pd) catalytic evaporator, rGO‐Pd) is first reported, where SDIE and the integrated catalytic reaction are mutually reinforced. The apparent utilization of solar to thermal energy by the integrated SDIE reaction system is a combination of evaporative utilization and catalytic utilization. The reaction heat released by the rGO‐Pd catalytic evaporator enhances its anti‐salt water production performance to a record of 12.7 L m−2 h−1, surpassing the reported performance of other integrated SDIE reaction systems. In the rGO‐Pd catalytic evaporator, the synergetic effect of photothermal and rapid mass transfer significantly increases the catalytic activity (turnover frequency) of Pd catalysts up to a record 125.07 min−1, which is about 3.75 times of the condition without light. This integrated SDIE reaction system can effectively and simultaneously produce freshwater, salt, and catalyzed chemicals after evaporating water to dryness. This study paves the way for SDIE's high‐performance applications in future integrated water, energy, and environmental systems.

AbstractConductive hydrogels have recently attracted extensive attention in the field of smart wearable electronics. Despite the current versatility of conductive hydrogels, the balance between mechanical properties (tensile properties, strength, and toughness) and electrical properties (electrical conductivity, sensitivity, and stability) still faces great challenges. Herein, a simplified method for constructing hydrophobic association hydrogels with excellent mechanical and electrical properties is proposed. The prepared conductive hydrogels exhibit high tensile properties (≈1224%), high linearity in the whole‐strain–range (R2 = 0.999), and a wide strain sensing range (2700%). The conductive hydrogel can realize more than 1000 cycles of sensing under 500% tensile strain. As an application demonstration, an underwater communication device is assembled in combination with polydimethylsiloxane/Triton X‐100 film coating, which successfully transmits underwater signals and provides warning of potential hazards. This study provides a new research method for developing underwater equipment with excellent mechanical properties and sensing properties.

Published: August 2023

AbstractPt‐based nanocrystals with tunable electronic structure and optimized atom efficiency are essential for boosting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance and further industrial application. However, the synthesis of uniform and ordered nanocrystals is still a challenge due to the uncontrollable size growth of metal particles, restricting the active sites toward the desired catalytic activity. Herein, the synthesis of ultrafine bimetal PtMo nanocrystals on N‐doped carbon (PtMo‐NC) through an anchoring‐sites engineering strategy is reported, in which the N‐rich carbon can provide abundant sites to anchor the metal atoms and suppress the over aggregation. The PtMo‐NC catalyst exhibits superior HER performance in both alkaline and acidic conditions, delivering a smaller overpotential (80 mV and 63 mV) at a current density of 100 mA cm−2 in alkaline and acidic media. Theoretical calculations reveal that the introduction of Mo atom into Pt can reduce the energy barrier of water molecule dissociation and optimize the H intermediate absorption strength on Pt sites, thus boosting the catalytic HER performance. This study offers a universal strategy to design ultrafine nanocatalysts to achieve high‐efficiency electrocatalysis.

Published: August 2023

AbstractCurrently, clinical photothermal therapy (PTT) is greatly limited by the poor tissue penetration of the excitation light sources in visible (390–780 nm) and first near‐infrared (NIR‐I, 780–900 nm) window. Herein, based on space and bond synergistic conjugation, a multiple‐aniline organic small molecule (TPD), is synthesized for high‐efficiency second near‐infrared (NIR‐II, 900–1700 nm) photoacoustic imaging guided PTT. With the heterogeneity of six nitrogen atoms in TPD, the lone electrons on the nitrogen atom and the π bond orbital on the benzene ring form multielectron conjugations with highly delocalized state, which endowed TPD with strong NIR‐II absorption (maximum peak at 925 nm). Besides, according to the single molecular reorganization, the alkyl side chains on TPD make more free space for intramolecular motion to enhance the photothermal conversion ability. Forming TPD nanoparticles (NPs) in J‐aggregation, they show a further bathochromic‐shifted absorbance (maximum peak at 976 nm) as well as a high photothermal conversion efficiency (66.7%) under NIR‐II laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that TPD NPs can effectively inhibit the growth of tumors without palpable side effects. The study provides a novel NIR‐II multiple‐aniline structure based on multielectron hyperconjugation, and opens a new design thought for photothermal agents.
