Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background
Accumulating evidence indicates that infertile individuals are often associated with poor mental health. However, there are few studies focus on the trauma exposure of infertile individuals. Meanwhile, adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are often associated with poor mental health, especially the development of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the condition of traumatic exposure and the prevalence of PTSS in people with infertile in Shanghai, and then explore the effect of ACE among infertile people of childbearing age who reported experiencing trauma exposure.
Methods
The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to September 2022. A total of 213 infertile patients in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital were selected by random sampling. After screening, a total of 194 experimental data were obtained. The participants filled out the demographic questionnaires, self-developed trauma exposure questionnaire. Childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) and the primary care PTSD screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5) were used to investigate ACE and PTSS, respectively.
Results
Traumatic events were experienced in 41.8% of infertility patients. Only 4.10% of infertile patients had PTSS. Maternal education level (p = 0.019) had significant influence on whether PTSS occurred in patients. Logistic regression analysis indicated age, emotional abuse (EA) and physical neglect (PN) increased the probability of patients reporting trauma exposure, while emotional neglect (EN) reduced the possibility of reporting trauma.
Conclusions
Undesirable the high incidence of traumatic experience of infertility population, especially ACE, has an important impact on their treatment and recovery at the moment, as well as the future development of mental health. More evidence between PTSS and trauma exposure are needed in the future to strengthen this conclusion.

Abstract
Polystyrene-based granulated support Bio-Beads® SM-2 was employed for the separation of peptide-p-nitroanilides from Na2SO4 and Na2SO5 mixture (Oxone®) after oxidation of peptide-p-aminoanilides. Unsubstituted phenyl-containing N-terminal protection groups (such as carbobenzoxy or tested earlier benzoyl) and Phe residues ensured an efficient adsorption of peptide-p-nitroanilides onto Bio-Beads® SM-2. Neither such aromatic groups as tosyl, 9-fluorenyl(methoxycarbonyl), p-nitroanilide nor indolyl or p-hydroxyphenyl groups of Trp and Tyr residues provide peptide-p-nitroanilides with the ability to adsorb onto the polystyrene-based support. Hence, peptides and their derivatives should contain at least one unsubstituted phenyl group to ensure an efficient separation and purification via adsorption chromatography on Bio-Beads® SM-2. This chromatographic support is well suitable for desalting or separation of phenyl group-containing peptides, especially in multiple parallel preparation and high-throughput screening experiments.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Since 20 years, titanium oxide materials, and in particular lithium titanate spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO), were considered as promising negative electrode materials for lithium-ion cells. In the case of the TiNb2O7 compound (TNO), which has a larger theoretical lithiation capacity of 388 mAh.g-1, few studies have focused on the outgassing of the material. In this work, we quantified the volume produced as a function of different cycling parameters and then characterize the species. From the obtained results we proposed a reaction mechanism describing the phenomenon as well as solutions to reduce it.

Abstract
Purpose
Nephrogenic ascites is an uncommon disorder associated with a grave prognosis. Literature on etiopathogenesis and outcomes are scarce. The objectives were to identify the etiologies of ascites in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimate the proportion of nephrogenic ascites and their 90-day mortality.
Methods
It was a prospective observational hospital-based study. Consecutive patients with CKD admitted to a tertiary care government teaching hospital were recruited. History, examination, investigations, and evaluation of the etiology of ascites were performed. Ascites was classified into high and low serum albumin-ascites gradient types. Patients with ascites were also followed up for three months to monitor for worsening symptoms, further workup (if necessary), and mortality.
Results
355 patients were recruited with 72.5% males. 76 were newly diagnosed with CKD. The most common comorbid illnesses were diabetes mellitus and hypertension. 40 patients had ascites with a mean duration of CKD and hemodialysis of 20.9 ± 23.1 and 9.3 ± 15.5, respectively. 13/40 were lost to follow-up. 13 of the remaining 27 who were followed up died. A known etiology was seen in 29/40 (72.5%). The mixed group (any combination of cardiac or liver disease, malignancy, and hypothyroidism) constituted 21/40 patients. 11/40 (27.5%) probably had nephrogenic ascites and 4/11 died during follow-up.
Conclusions
A tenth of patients with CKD have ascites. A majority of patients with ascites in CKD have an identifiable etiology. The prognosis of ascites in patients with CKD is dismal.

Abstract

This study evaluates the oil palm and rubber-driven deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia between 2000–2021 through secondary data analysis from a rich data set by collecting and integrating secondary data from multiple sources. Results show a significant tree cover loss, including 82% and 250% of primary forest loss in Indonesia and Malaysia. Oil palm harvested area increased by 650% in Indonesia and 50% in Malaysia, while palm oil production rose by 566% in Indonesia and 65% in Malaysia over the same period. The study also find that rubber-harvested areas increased by 54% in Indonesia but decreased by 20% in Malaysia, with rubber production increasing by 108% in Indonesia but decreasing by 49% in Malaysia. Over the past two decades, Indonesia’s palm oil export volume has risen by 619%, while Malaysia’s has increased by 83%. Indonesia’s natural rubber export volume also increased by 69%, but Malaysia’s decreased by 33%. The study reveals that the impact of oil palm and rubber on deforestation varies by region and period. However, plantation expansion and associated forest conversion have slowed, which can be associated with the consumer demand for no deforestation oil palm and rubber products. Many of the world’s largest traders and producers have pledged zero deforestation commitments, guaranteeing the elimination of deforestation from their supply chains in Indonesia and Malaysia. Such commitments can only be accomplished through government, private sector, farmers, and community collaboration. Finally, to ensure sustainability in these sectors, comprehensive policies and practical solutions that support farmers’ livelihoods are also crucial.

Abstract

To make a better application of I-transitive fuzzy relations and fuzzy preference relations in uncertainty reasoning and decision-making according to the practical requirement, it is meaningful to investigates the preservation of well-known properties when some I-transitive and fuzzy preference relations are aggregated, respectively. Therefore, this paper firstly characterize the aggregation functions in order to preserve some properties of I-transitive fuzzy relations. Further, two aggregation functions are constructed to preserve some relevant properties of fuzzy preference relations. Especially, focused on the T-S consistency, we further investigate the retainment of some T-S consistent fuzzy preference relations aggre-gated.

Abstract
Aiming at the problems of color bias and noise enhancement on the output image by the traditional low-light image enhancement algorithm, a DMPH-Net (Deep Multiscale Pyramid Hybrid Network) algorithm that fuses attention mechanism and multiscale pyramid is proposed in this paper. The algorithm uses DecomNet to decompose reflectance and light components, and uses multi-scale illumination attention module to fuse light and reflectance for the decomposed low light reflectance to improve the realism and details of reflectance; by using five-layer feature pyramid and kernel selection in PRID-net module to achieve the fusion of contextual information between different scale feature layers, while effectively removing the enhanced of noise, and the added color loss effectively suppresses the color bias of the output image; using multi-scale cascading and channel attention mechanisms to adjust the illumination and fuse the illumination ratios, effectively enhancing the brightness, texture, and other feature information in the image. The DMPH-Net algorithm is experimentally validated on LOL and no-reference LIME, MEF, and NPE datasets, and the objective evaluation metrics PSNR, SSIM, LIPIPS, and NIQE are 23.3772, 0.8442, 0.1386, and 3.5966 on LOL dataset. The objective evaluation metrics NIQE on the reference-free datasets LIME, NPE, and MEF are 3.0735, 3.1711, and 2.9464, respectively. The experiments show that the DMPH-Net algorithm maintains high image details and textures in image enhancement and denoising, effectively enhances low-light images and reduces noise and color bias of images. Compared with RUAS, UnRetinex-Net and other enhancement algorithms, it improves in objective evaluation metrics PSNR, SSIM, LIPIPS, and NIQE.

Abstract
Most biodiversity studies of octocorals have focused on tropical shallow waters, particularly from Mexico to Peru, and more recently in Chile. The first description of a Chilean octocorals dates back to the H.M.S Challenger expedition in 1873–1876. Since then, only few descriptions of new soft coral species from this region have been published. In addition, the taxonomic status of most gorgonians reported from the temperate Pacific coast of South America is dubious due to the loss of the original type material for most taxa. Here, we use morphological characters and nuclear and mitochondrial markers to reevaluate the taxonomy of the Chilean gorgonians Phycogorgia fucata and Leptogorgia chilensis, and describe a new species named Leptogorgia pichicuyensis sp.n. We present the first description of their latitudinal distribution patterns. Our results support the monophyly of the Chilean gorgoniids investigated, and the provisional placement of P. fucata with other species of the genus Leptogorgia in the absence of further specimens of Phycogorgia in GenBank. Our distribution analyses reveal a clear biogeographic break congruent with the Central Chile and Araucanian marine ecoregions. Overall, our study provides the first integrative taxonomic study of Southern Eastern Pacific cold-water gorgonians suggesting a higher number of species than expected for this underexplored region.
Nitrogen removal in moving-bed biofilm reactor plants at low temperatures: experiences from Norway
Authors: Rusten Bjorn , Ødegaard Hallvard 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Cold and diluted wastewater is a major challenge for nitrogen removal at wastewater treatment plants. The moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process has proven suitable for nitrogen removal under these conditions and several full-scale plants have been in operation for more than 20 years. These plants are still performing well, even at above design loads. Recently some of these plants have been evaluated for their low-temperature performance. In general, the results showed that temperatures down to 5 °C only had a minor impact on observed nitrification and denitrification rates. Higher dissolved oxygen concentrations can boost nitrification rates and are used as a tool to increase rates at low temperatures, thus partially compensating for the temperature effect. Post-denitrification rates were boosted by a controlled increase in carbon-to-nitrogen ratios at low temperatures. MBBR processes with combined pre- and post-denitrification are recommended for nitrogen-removal plants operating at low temperatures. Design recommendations and examples of flowsheets are given.
Effects of solvent environment on the spectroscopic properties of tylosin, an experimental and theoretical approach
Authors: Avramenko Aleksandr G. , Spiehs Mindy J. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Tylosin is a commonly used antibiotic in animal medicine. However, it remains unclear how tylosin impacts the broader ecosystem once the host animal has excreted it. One of the main concerns is that it can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there exists a need to develop systems that remove tylosin from the environment. Utilizing UV irradiation to destroy pathogens is one technique often deployed by scientists and engineers. However, for light-based techniques to be efficient, it is necessary to understand the spectral properties of the material being removed. Steady-state spectroscopy and density functional theory were used to analyze the electronic transitions of tylosin responsible for its strong absorbance in the mid-UV region. It was observed that the absorbance peak of tylosin stems from two transitions in the conjugated region of the molecule. Moreover, these transitions stem from an electronegative region of the molecule, which would allow them to be manipulated by changing solvent polarity. Finally, a polariton model has been proposed, which can be used to initiate the photodegradation of tylosin without the need for direct irradiation of the molecule with UV-B light.

Published: May 2023

Abstract:
Artificial enzyme mimics have lately sparked a lot of attention since they offer a lot of benefits
over natural enzymes. Because of their proteic origin and tailorable structures, self-assembling
peptides are ideal building blocks for the creation of artificial enzymes. Recently, a series of histidinebearing
self-assembling peptides with β-sheet structures, which are selective for short-chain fatty acids,
were described. In this work, the catalytic behaviors of these peptides were further investigated
using 2,4-dinitrophenyl acetate (DNPA) as a model substrate. Furthermore, the peptide was capable of
forming a solid hydrogel that was also catalytically active at higher concentrations.
An Insight into Enhanced Roles of Plant and Microbial Nanobionics

Published: May 2023

Abstract:
Plant nanobionics is an interdisciplinary field of science with the concepts of plant biology
and nanotechnology applied. The field is in the developing stage with various applications,
including photosynthesis enhancement, light-emitting plants, sensors, and energy harvesting from
plant organelles. For instance, advanced nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes are inserted in plant
tissues to achieve various functions. The photosynthesis process can be enhanced by improving
light absorption using single-walled carbon nanotubes that are impregnated in the leaves of plants.
Plants are able to emit light when various nanostructures are encapsulated inside. Plant fuel cells
can be constructed by embedding nanomaterials in the plant organelles for energy generation. On
the other hand, various sensing devices have been developed for agriculture using plant nanobionics,
which detect pollutants, toxic chemicals, and soil moisture. These devices are expected to be
superior to the conventional sensors used in agriculture. Apart from that, microorganisms can be
used as catalysts for energy generation and wastewater treatment in microbial fuel cells. In this
study, microbial nanobionics are discussed for the nanomaterials coated on the electrodes of a
microbial fuel cell to improve electron transfer and biofilm formation.

Published: May 2023

Background
Young people are more likely to be affected by suicide contagion, and there are concerns about the role social media plays in the development and maintenance of suicide clusters or in facilitating imitative suicidal behavior. However, social media also presents an opportunity to provide real-time and age-appropriate suicide prevention information, which could be an important component of suicide postvention activities.

Objective
This study aimed to test an intervention designed to equip young people to communicate safely online about suicide (#chatsafe) with a sample of young people who had recently been exposed to a suicide or suicide attempt, with a view to determining the role social media can play as part of a postvention response.

Methods
A sample of 266 young people from Australia, aged 16 to 25 years, were recruited to participate in the study. They were eligible if they had been exposed to a suicide or knew of a suicide attempt in the past 2 years. All participants received the #chatsafe intervention, which comprised 6 pieces of social media content that were sent to them weekly via direct message through Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. Participants were assessed on a range of outcome measures (social media use, willingness to intervene against suicide, internet self-efficacy, confidence, and safety when communicating about suicide on social media platforms) at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at 4-week follow-up.

Results
After the 6-week #chatsafe intervention, participants reported substantial improvements in their willingness to intervene against suicide online, their internet self-efficacy, and their perceived confidence and safety when communicating about suicide online. Overall, the participants reported that it was appropriate to receive the #chatsafe intervention via social media, and no iatrogenic effects were recorded.

Conclusions
The findings suggest that it is safe and acceptable to disseminate suicide prevention information entirely via social media among young people who have recently been exposed to a suicide or suicide attempt. Interventions such as #chatsafe could potentially mitigate the risk of distress and future suicidal behavior in young people by improving the quality and safety of online communication about suicide and, as such, can be an important component of delivering a postvention response to young people.

Published: May 2023

Bidara Laut (Strychnos lucida R.Br.) has the potential as a medicinal plant in West Nusa Tenggara, but its cultivation encountered many challenges. Mount Tunak, Natural Tourism Park, had similar environmental conditions to the natural habitat of Strychnos lucida and was selected as the location for planting trials. Given the dry climate, high temperature, and soil fertility limitations, the trials applied soil amendments, such as hydrogel, mycorrhizae, mulch, and fertilizer, to enhance the growth. This research aimed to investigate the effects of soil amendments on the survival rate of Strychnos lucida. This research used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments and one control. The treatments included applying five grams of hydrogel, five grams of mycorrhizae, 1 m x 1 m of plastic mulch, and a combination of all three. The research used 15 replication blocks, each with an area of 450 m2 and a spacing of 3 m x 3 m. Each block included ten replication plants (in total 750 plants), and the trial lasted 19 months. The results showed an insignificant growth increase after 19 months of planting in all treatments. There were improvements in survival rate, height growth, and diameter growth by 25%, 85%, and 25%, respectively.

Published: May 2023

Biodiversity measurement served as baseline data for the development of effective conservation plans. The accuracy of the measurement was highly dependent on the size of the sample plot. Even though Indonesia had various ecosystems, the standard sample plot size for measuring plant species diversity was only available for lowland, lower montane, and mangrove forests. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the optimal dimension of plots for measuring plant species diversity in coastal forest ecosystems. The data was collected in Ujung Kulon National Park using various dimensions of sample plots ranging from 2 m × 2 m to 150 m × 50 m. Furthermore, the rarefaction method and species-area curve were used to examine the data. The curves showed that the optimal sample plot dimensions for seedling, sampling, and pole levels were 110 m × 50 m and 150 m × 50 m for tree stages.
