AbstractObjectiveIn obesogenic states and after exercise, interleukin (IL)‐6 elevations are established, and IL‐6 is speculated to be an appetite‐regulating mechanism. This study examined the role of IL‐6 on exercise‐induced appetite regulation in sedentary normal weight (NW) males and those with obesity (OB).MethodsNine NW participants and eight participants with OB completed one non‐exercise control (CTRL) and one moderate‐intensity continuous training (MICT; 60 minutes, 65% V̇O2max) session. IL‐6, acylated ghrelin, active peptide tyrosine‐tyrosine3‐36, active glucagon‐like peptide‐1, and overall appetite perceptions were measured fasted, pre exercise, and 30, 90, and 150 minutes post exercise.ResultsFasted IL‐6 concentrations were elevated in OB (p = 0.005,  = 0.419); however, increases following exercise were similar between groups (p = 0.934,  = 0.000). Acylated ghrelin was lower in OB versus NW (p < 0.017, d > 0.84), and OB did not respond to MICT (p > 0.512, d < 0.44) although NW had a decrease versus CTRL (p < 0.034, d > 0.61). IL‐6 did not moderate/mediate acylated ghrelin release after exercise (p > 0.251). There were no observable effects of MICT on tyrosine‐tyrosine3‐36, glucagon‐like peptide‐1, or overall appetite (p > 0.334,  < 0.062).ConclusionsThese results suggest that IL‐6 is not involved in exercise‐induced appetite suppression. Despite blunted appetite‐regulatory peptide responses to MICT in participants with OB, NW participants exhibited decreased acylated ghrelin; however, no differences in appetite perceptions existed between CTRL and MICT or NW and OB.

AbstractCellular senescence constitutes a stress response mechanism in reaction to a plethora of stimuli. Senescent cells exhibit cell‐cycle arrest and altered function. While cell‐cycle withdrawal has been perceived as permanent, recent evidence in cancer research introduced the so‐called escape‐from‐senescence concept. In particular, under certain conditions, senescent cells may resume proliferation, acquiring highly aggressive features. As such, they have been associated with tumour relapse, rendering senescence less effective in inhibiting cancer progression. Thus, conventional cancer treatments, incapable of eliminating senescence, may benefit if revisited to include senolytic agents. To this end, it is anticipated that the assessment of the senescence burden in everyday clinical material by pathologists will play a crucial role in the near future, laying the foundation for more personalised approaches. Here, we provide an overview of the investigations that introduced the escape‐from‐senescence phenomenon, the identified mechanisms, as well as the major implications for pathology and therapy. © 2023 The Authors.

Published: August 2023

AbstractHydrogel‐based materials are widely used in many fields, but most of them compared to tendons with the same water content do not exhibit high toughness, strength or fatigue resistance, which limits their application. The Hofmeister effect can adjust the mechanical properties of hydrogels by ions affecting the aggregation of polymer chains. Herein, we prepared a bioactivated hydrogel through simply mixing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Na2CO3 aqueous solutions. PVA chains are aggregated by strong hydrogen bonds between CO32− and OH, at which stage the hydrogel is soft and easy to shape. Further salting out promotes the formation of crystal microphase of PVA chain, resulting in high mechanical strength and excellent toughness. The existence of Na2CO3 endow the hydrogel with conductivity, exhibits high and stable sensitivity in strain sensing, and could be used to monitor human actions. On the basis of this method, Ca2+ was added to prepare mineralized PVA hydrogels, which had high stability and long‐term swelling resistance in different ionic solutions. In vitro cell experiment, hydrogel had obvious effect of promoting bone cell proliferation and calcium deposition. This work provides a facile and feasible method for preparing bionic hydrogels with high strength, toughness, and adaptable shape.

Published: August 2023

AbstractNickel‐ and palladium‐catalyzed insertion copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate comonomers for synthesis of ethylene‐acrylates copolymers have attracted much academic and industrial interests and remained highly challenging. This review provides an overview of the developments in nickel‐ and palladium‐catalyzed insertion copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate comonomers. Mechanistic interpretation of metal‐catalyzed insertion copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate comonomers is described. Late transition metal catalysts are divided to nickel‐based and palladium‐based catalysts with different chelate ligands. The effects of catalyst structure on copolymerization performance and copolymer microstructure are comprehensively discussed. This review aims to promote the design and development of nickel and palladium catalysts for ethylene/acrylate copolymerizations and synthesis of ethylene‐acrylates copolymers.

AbstractA deep understanding of the solute‐ deep eutectic solvent (DESs) interactions is required for an appropriate selection of DESs as absorption media in the extraction of binary mixtures. As a result, these studies are done to evaluate the values of the activity coefficients at infinite dilution (
), allowing us to define and understand the nature of these intermolecular interactions comprising DES mixtures with volatile organic solvents at different temperatures using gas liquid chromatography technique to determine the
for 34 solutes in DESs [zinc chloride+acetic or phosphoric acid] prepared at 1 : 2 molar ratio for the temperature range (313.15–353.15) K. The thermal stability of the prepared DESs was determined by a thermogravimetric analyser. Excess thermodynamic parameters [partial molar excess enthalpies
and Gibbs free energies
] were derived from the
data. The selectivity and capacity values for the industrial separations were calculated and compared with the literature values of other DESs, ionic liquids, and sulfolane to assess the suitability of the investigated DESs for possible applications as extracting solvents. The selectivity and capacity values are high and therefore, [zinc chloride+acetic or phosphoric acid] can be used as a potential solvent to replace the currently used conventional solvents in the separation of the selected azeotropes. COSMO‐SAC predictions were qualitatively in very good agreement with the experimental data.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study examined the potential of waste tea as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ ions from contaminated water. The study analyzed the effect of various factors, including adsorbent dose (1–6 g), NaOH concentration (0.5–1.5 %), pH (3–8), shaking time (1–4 h), shaking speed (220 rpm and 320 rpm), temperature (25–50 °C), and particle size (300–710 μm), on the adsorption of ions on waste tea. The experiment‘s findings revealed that the removal of Pb+2 with a waste tea‐derived adsorbent was more significant than that of Cu2+, and Zn2+. Instrumental techniques such as FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, and ICPMS were used to characterize the adsorbent. Additionally, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to explain the equilibrium isotherm data of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ ions. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics data for these heavy metal ions were found to fit a pseudo‐second‐order model. The study found waste tea to be a low‐cost, eco‐friendly, and easily obtainable natural adsorbent for eliminating heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Additionally, the study showed that waste tea was effective in removing 98.43 % of Pb2+, 73.22 % of Cu2+, and 88.37 % of Zn2+ ions from aqueous solutions.

AbstractAdsorption is a reliable method for removing organic pollutants from water. This article provides data on the use of hybrid composites as adsorbents for Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G) uptake from aqueous solutions. The organo‐inorganic spherical particles were prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate and a styrene‐acrylic copolymer through a one‐pot sol‐gel technique. The powder structures were characterised using various methods, including elemental analysis, acid‐base titration, zeta potential measurement, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, low‐temperature nitrogen adsorption, and scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that the adsorption process demonstrated a preference for a pH of 6 in the case of MB, whereas for R6G, the optimal pH for adsorption was observed to be 7. The findings indicated that the pseudo‐second‐order model accurately described the kinetic data, while the equilibrium data aligned with the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 212.5 mg/g for MB and 323.1 mg/g for R6G, suggesting that both chemisorption and physical adsorption occurred on the surface of the adsorbent material. The composites were found to be regenerable with an HCl:EtOH mixture up to 3 cycles. These findings suggest that silica/styrene‐acrylic copolymer composites are promising sorbents for removing MB and R6G dyes from aqueous solutions.

Published: August 2023

AbstractA bilateral lateral luxation of the patella was diagnosed in an 8‐year‐old, 54 kg, neutered, male alpaca presented with hindquarter weakness progressing to periods of prolonged recumbency over the last 2 weeks. The patient underwent a correction of the condition using a block recess trochleoplasty combined with a medial imbrication on both hindlimbs, performed 15 days apart. Postoperative radiographs confirmed the correct repositioning of the patella. Immediately after the second surgery, the alpaca was able to get up and move freely. No postoperative complications occurred, and the alpaca was discharged from the clinic 15 days after the second surgery. Two years after discharge, the alpaca is doing well with no recurrence of the luxation. Considering the quick recovery and the safe and relatively simple procedure, this technique may be considered an option in unilateral or bilateral patellar luxations in alpacas.
Policy conflict around the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
Authors: You Jongeun 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is the largest hydroelectric power project in Africa in terms of installed capacity. With global attention focused on the impact of this megadam, questions about how GERD‐related conflict developed are coming to the fore. This discussion paper describes policy conflict around this new hydroelectric dam over the past decade among three nations in the Nile River basin—Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Relying on the insights from the Policy Conflict Framework (a policy process theory that clarifies policy conflict characteristics and episodes) and the method of document analysis, this paper reviews the policy setting around the GERD conflict at the macro level. The paper concludes by proposing three recommendations to mitigate policy conflict: (1) address hydrologic information loopholes, (2) leverage a new mediator, and (3) recognize the multifaceted nature of policy conflict.
The Political Potential of Glamour: The Example of Underwear
Authors: Adamo Fabiola 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis research project aims to investigate the symbolic and cultural meanings behind an underwear targeted to women in order to analyze the glamorous elements of a garment which is often presented in scenarios that allude to sexuality and transgression. The focus is on the underwear production of the last ten years, as the fashion world has lately been hit by discussions around the need to make fashion accessible for non-normative bodies. Now that fashion is called to play a role in terms of inclusivity on the symbolic as well as on the material level, the question behind this research is: what kind of relationship can be found between an inclusive underwear and glamour? The first part of this research will provide a complex definition of glamour, an ambiguous phenomenon that can either be conservative or subversive. The study will then proceed with an analysis on the relationship between glamour and underwear in the case of the two mainstream lingerie brands Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein. Finally, such relationship will be then investigated in the realm of a newborn inclusive lingerie brand named Chitè through an in situ ethnographic investigation.
The two scales of new physics in Higgs couplings
Authors: D’Agnolo Raffaele Tito , Nortier Florian , Rigo Gabriele , Sesma Pablo 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHiggs coupling deviations from Standard Model predictions contain information about two scales of Nature: that of new physics responsible for the deviation, and the scale where new bosons must appear. The two can coincide, but they do not have to. The scale of new bosons can be calculated by going beyond an effective field theory description of the coupling deviation. We compute model-independent upper bounds on the scale of new bosons for deviations in Higgs toWWandZZcouplings, finding that any measured deviation at present or future colliders requires the existence of new bosons within experimental reach. This has potentially interesting implications for naturalness.
Ultraviolet extensions of the Scotogenic model
Authors: Portillo-Sánchez Diego , Escribano Pablo , Vicente Avelino 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The Scotogenic model is a popular scenario that induces radiative Majorana neutrino masses and includes a weakly-interacting dark matter candidate. We classify all possible ultraviolet extensions of the Scotogenic model in which (i) the dark ℤ2 parity emerges at low energies after the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1)L lepton number symmetry, and (ii) the low-energy effective theory contains a naturally small lepton number breaking parameter, suppressed by the mass of a heavy mediator integrated out at tree-level. We find 50 such models and discuss two of them in detail to illustrate our setup. We also discuss some general aspects of the phenomenology of the models in our classification, exploring possible lepton flavor violating signals, collider signatures and implications for dark matter. The phenomenological prospects of these scenarios are very rich due to the presence of additional scalar states, including a massless Goldstone boson.

. As is well-known, phase retrieval is possible once the windows’s ambiguity function vanishes nowhere. However, there are only few results for windows that fail to meet this condition. The goal of this paper is to establish new and complete characterizations for phase retrieval with more general windows and compare them to existing results. For a fixed window, our uniqueness conditions usually only depend on the signal’s support and are therefore easily comprehensible. In the discrete settings, we also provide examples which show that a non-vanishing ambiguity function is not necessary for a window to do phase retrieval.

Abstract
Purpose
Suicide attempters are at high risk of premature death, both for suicide and for non-suicidal causes. The aim of this study is to investigate risk factors and temporal span for mortality in a cohort of cases admitted to hospital for suicide attempt.

Methods
The cohort included 1489 patients resident in Piedmont Region, North West of Italy, who had been admitted to hospital or emergency department for suicide attempt between 2010 and 2020. Cox regression models were used to identify risk factors for death. The final multivariate model included gender, age, area deprivation index, family composition, psychiatric disorders, malignant neoplasms, neurological disorders, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and intracranial injury or skull fracture.

Results
During the observation period, 7.3% of patients died. The highest mortality was observed within the first 12 months after suicide attempt, and remained elevated for many years afterwards. Male gender, older age, high deprivation index of the census area, single-parent family, mood disorders, malignant neoplasms, diabetes mellitus and intracranial injuries or skull fracture were independent predictors of death. Risk factors for natural and unnatural causes of death were also identified.

Conclusions
The mortality risk of suicide attempters is very high, both in the months immediately following the attempt and afterwards. The identification of high-risk groups can help to plan outpatient care following the hospital discharge. Our findings urge the need to design strategies for the assistance and care of these patients at long term in order to reduce the unfavourable outcomes.
Fiat–Shamir Transformation of Multi-Round Interactive Proofs (Extended Version)
Authors: Attema Thomas , Fehr Serge , Klooß Michael 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe celebrated Fiat–Shamir transformation turns any public-coin interactive proof into a non-interactive one, which inherits the main security properties (in the random oracle model) of the interactive version. While originally considered in the context of 3-move public-coin interactive proofs, i.e., so-called$$\varSigma $$Σ-protocols, it is now applied to multi-round protocols as well. Unfortunately, the security loss for a$$(2\mu + 1)$$(2μ+1)-move protocol is, in general, approximately$$Q^\mu $$Qμ, whereQis the number of oracle queries performed by the attacker. In general, this is the best one can hope for, as it is easy to see that this loss applies to the$$\mu $$μ-fold sequential repetition of$$\varSigma $$Σ-protocols, but it raises the question whether certain (natural) classes of interactive proofs feature a milder security loss. In this work, we give positive and negative results on this question. On the positive side, we show that for$$(k_1, \ldots , k_\mu )$$(k1,…,kμ)-special-sound protocols (which cover a broad class of use cases), the knowledge error degrades linearly inQ, instead of$$Q^\mu $$Qμ. On the negative side, we show that fort-foldparallel repetitionsof typical$$(k_1, \ldots , k_\mu )$$(k1,…,kμ)-special-sound protocols with$$t \ge \mu $$t≥μ(and assuming for simplicity thattandQare integer multiples of$$\mu $$μ), there is an attack that results in a security loss of approximately $$\frac{1}{2} Q^\mu /\mu ^{\mu +t}$$12Qμ/μμ+t.
Assessing thermal properties of multipass weld beads using active thermography: microstructural variations and anisotropy analysis
Authors: Sesana Raffaella , Santoro Luca , Curà Francesca , Molica Nardo Rosario , Pagano Piergiorgio 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn the present paper, the results of a research focused on microstructure investigation of steel welded joints by means of non destructive thermographic technique are presented. In particular, two rough joints obtained by means of irregular manual welding are analyzed. Active lock in thermography phase analysis is applied, basing on the evidence that thermal diffusivity is related to the thermal diffusion length, using the phase contrast trend as a function of the distance from the laser spot. Diffusivity is expected to be dependent on the local microstructure and vary through different directions. By the variation in diffusivity, it is possible to investigate the level of anisotropy.The results are compared with micrographic analysis. The proposed method provides an active lock-in infrared thermography analysis by means of a thermal camera and an exciting laser head to evaluate thermal diffusivity.
