Published: May 2023

AbstractRecognizing patient activity in real‐time from video or images collected by a CCTV camera available in the hospital during a Covid‐19 situation has proven challenging. The dilemma of patient activity recognition is identifying and recognizing a patient's various actions in a series of videos. The process presented in our paper needs to achieve unrestricted, generic behavior in videos. Detecting events in any video is often difficult because we use Bidirectional ConvLSTM to create a robust patient in the sense behaviors (PSB) framework capable of eliminating certain barriers. To begin this paper by proposing a new Bidirectional ConvLSTM for establishing a stable PSB scheme. Our proposed model is capable of accurately predicting patient's behaviors like seated, standing, and so on. Using Bidirectional ConvLSTM, learning information from a pre‐trained model is an excellent place to start for rapidly developing a new PSB system using a current PSB database, as both the source and target datasets are critical. All parameters are frozen in a pre‐trained PSB device. Then, using the UCI and HMDB51 dataset to train the model, variables and local relations are progressively fixed. A novel PSB framework is developed using the target dataset. Relevant tests are conducted using commonly used research indices to assess prediction precision accuracy. They acknowledge six patient's behavior with a weighted accuracy rate of 92%. For recognizing novel activity, laying, the precision of a corresponding prediction is the best, 91%, of all six test results. The proposed work uses bidirectional ConvLSTM with modified activation layers to sense the patients' behavior. This article may be a patient activity recognition system to identify an individual. It takes a clip of COVID‐19 patients as input and looks for matches inside the hold‐on images.

AbstractAchieving solar light‐driven photocatalytic overall water splitting is the ideal and ultimate goal for solving energy and environment issues. Photocatalytic Z‐scheme overall water splitting has undergone considerable development in recent years; specific approaches include a powder suspension Z‐scheme system with a redox shuttle and a particulate sheet Z‐scheme system. Of these, a particulate sheet has achieved a benchmark solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency exceeding 1.1 %. Nevertheless, owing to intrinsic differences in the components, structure, operating environment, and charge transfer mechanism, there are several differences between the optimization strategies for a powder suspension and particulate sheet Z‐scheme. Unlike a powder suspension Z‐scheme with a redox shuttle, the particulate sheet Z‐scheme system is more like a miniaturized and parallel p/n photoelectrochemical cell. In this review, we summarize the optimization strategies for a powder suspension Z‐scheme with a redox shuttle and particulate sheet Z‐scheme. In particular, attention has been focused on choosing appropriate redox shuttle and electron mediator, facilitating the redox shuttle cycle, avoiding redox mediator‐induced side reactions, and constructing a particulate sheet. Challenges and prospects in the development of efficient Z‐scheme overall water splitting are also briefly discussed.
Clicking together Alkynes and Tetracyanoethylene
Authors: Nielsen Mogens Brøndsted 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe [2+2] cycloaddition – retro‐electrocyclization (CA‐RE) reaction allows ready synthesis of redox‐active donor‐acceptor chromophores from an electron‐rich alkyne and electron‐poor olefins like tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). The detailed mechanism of the reaction has been subject of both computational and experimental studies. While several studies point towards a stepwise mechanism via a zwitterionic intermediate for the first step, the cycloaddition, the reaction follows neither simple second‐order nor first‐order kinetics. Recent studies have shown that the kinetics can be understood if an autocatalytic step is introduced in the mechanism, in which complex formation with the donor‐substituted tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD) product possibly facilitates nucleophilic attack of the alkyne onto TCNE, generating the zwitterionic intermediate of the CA step. This Concept highlights the convenient use of the “click‐like” CA‐RE reaction to obtain elaborate donor‐acceptor chromophores and the recent mechanistic results.

Published: May 2023

AbstractTransparent and homogeneous SrPb3Br8single crystals with the size of Ø25 mm × 50 mm are grown by the modified vertical Bridgman method. X‐ray diffraction results reveal that the middle part of the crystal is pure in chemical compositions, while the tip part contains low content of Sr(PbBr3)2(H2O)5. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis points out the absorption to C, O‐containing substances of the pristine surfaces of SrPb3Br8wafers. The Raman results prove the low phonon energy of the SrPb3Br8(116 cm−1). Transmission spectra demonstrate its wide transparent range (0.37–25 µm) and high transmittance in the mid‐infrared range except for several absorption lines. Moreover, Hall measurements show that the SrPb3Br8sample is n‐type conductive at 110–300 K, and the Hall coefficientRH, resistivityρand mobilityµHdecrease as temperature increases while the carrier concentrationnhas an opposite trend. The conduction mechanism and scattering mechanism of SrPb3Br8crystal at different temperatures has been studied by analyzing ln(|RH|)−T−1,n−TandµH−Tcurves, and the dominant donor defect ionization energyEDis calculated to be 0.077 eV.
Synthesis of ZnO Crystal with Micro‐Nano Structures by a Continuous Co‐Precipitation Method: Morphological Evolution and Mechanism Analysis

Published: May 2023

AbstractZnO crystals are employed in numerous industries, but precisely controlling their morphologies is still challenging. In this work, a continuous flow process for synthesizing ZnO crystals is developed based on the co‐precipitation method. ZnO crystals at different morphologies, including needle‐like, rod‐like, flower‐like, spindle‐like, and nanospheres, are successfully prepared at low temperature. The influence of reaction temperature, pH value, ZnCl2 feeding concentration, and reaction time on the morphology, size, and purity of ZnO crystals is systematically investigated. The results of X‐ray diffraction show that the high‐purity ZnO can only be produced when the reaction temperature is above 75 °C. The band gap energies of ZnO evaluated by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy increase with the synthesis temperature. According to scanning electron microscope (SEM) findings, the size of ZnO crystals is regulated by controlling the reaction time. Interestingly, the morphology of ZnO crystals is changed from 1D to 3D structure by controlling the feeding concentration of ZnCl2. Moreover, a concentration difference mechanism of ZnO crystal morphology evolution is proposed by monitoring the real‐time concentration of free Zn2+ ions.

AbstractAimsPrinciples of wound management, including debridement, wound bed preparation, and newer technologies involving alternation of wound physiology to facilitate healing, are of utmost importance when attempting to heal a chronic diabetes‐related foot ulcer. However, the rising incidence and costs of diabetes‐related foot ulcer management necessitate that interventions to enhance wound healing of chronic diabetes‐related foot ulcers are supported by high‐quality evidence of efficacy and cost effectiveness when used in conjunction with established aspects of gold‐standard multidisciplinary care. This is the 2023 International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) evidence‐based guideline on wound healing interventions to promote healing of foot ulcers in persons with diabetes. It serves as an update of the 2019 IWGDF guideline.Materials and MethodsWe followed the GRADE approach by devising clinical questions and important outcomes in the Patient‐Intervention‐Control‐Outcome (PICO) format, undertaking a systematic review, developing summary of judgements tables, and writing recommendations and rationale for each question. Each recommendation is based on the evidence found in the systematic review and, using the GRADE summary of judgement items, including desirable and undesirable effects, certainty of evidence, patient values, resources required, cost effectiveness, equity, feasibility, and acceptability, we formulated recommendations that were agreed by the authors and reviewed by independent experts and stakeholders.ResultsFrom the results of the systematic review and evidence‐to‐decision making process, we were able to make 29 separate recommendations. We made a number of conditional supportive recommendations for the use of interventions to improve healing of foot ulcers in people with diabetes. These include the use of sucrose octasulfate dressings, the use of negative pressure wound therapies for post‐operative wounds, the use of placental‐derived products, the use of the autologous leucocyte/platelet/fibrin patch, the use of topical oxygen therapy, and the use of hyperbaric oxygen. Although in all cases it was stressed that these should be used where best standard of care was not able to heal the wound alone and where resources were available for the interventions.ConclusionsThese wound healing recommendations should support improved outcomes for people with diabetes and ulcers of the foot, and we hope that widescale implementation will follow. However, although the certainty of much of the evidence on which to base the recommendations is improving, it remains poor overall. We encourage not more, but better quality trials including those with a health economic analysis, into this area.

AbstractCleats are the main channels for fluid transport in coal reservoirs. However, the microscale flow characteristics of both gas and water phases in primary cleats have not been fully studied as yet. Accordingly, the local morphological features of the cleat were determined using image processing technology and a transparent cleat structure model was constructed by microfluidic lithography using the multiphase fluid visualization test system. Besides, the effect of microchannel tortuosity characteristics on two‐phase flow was analyzed in this study. The results are as follows: (1) The local width of the original cleat structure of coal was strongly nonhomogeneous. The cleats showed contraction and expansion in the horizontal direction and undulating characteristics in the vertical direction. (2) The transient flow velocity fluctuated due to the structural characteristics of the primary cleat. The water‐driven gas interface showed concave and convex instability during flow, whereas the gas‐driven water interface presented a relatively stable concave surface. (3) The meniscus advanced in a symmetrical pattern in the flat channel, and the flow stagnated due to the influence of undulation points in a partially curved channel. The flow would continue only when the meniscus surface bypassed the stagnation point and reached a new equilibrium position. (4) Enhanced shearing at the gas–liquid interface increased the gas‐injection pressure, which in turn increased residual liquids in wall grooves and liquid films on the wall surface.
Rapid, repeatable landscape‐scale mapping of tree, hedgerow, and woodland habitats (THaW), using airborne LiDAR and spaceborne SAR data

AbstractIn the UK, tree, hedgerow, and woodland (THaW) habitats are key havens for biodiversity and support many related ecosystem services. The UK is entering a period of agricultural policy realignment with respect to natural capital and climate change, meaning that now is a critical time to evaluate the distribution, resilience, and dynamics of THaW habitats. The fine‐grained nature of habitats like hedgerows necessitates mapping of these features at relatively fine spatial resolution—and freely available public archives of airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) data at <2 m spatial resolution offer a means of doing so within UK settings. The high cost of LiDAR prohibits use for regular monitoring of THaW change, but space‐borne sensors such as Sentinel‐1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR at ca. 10 m resolution) can potentially meet this need once baseline distributions are established. We address two aims in this manuscript—(1) to rapidly quantify THaW across UK landscapes using LiDAR data and (2) to monitor canopy change intra‐ and inter‐annually using SAR data. We show that workflows applied to airborne LiDAR data can deliver THaW baselines at 2 m resolution, with positional accuracy of >90%. It was also possible to combine LiDAR mapping data and Sentinel‐1 SAR data to rapidly track canopy change through time (i.e., every 3 months) using, cloud‐based processing via Google Earth Engine. The resultant toolkit is also provided as an open‐access web app. The results highlight that whilst nearly 90% of the tallest trees (above 15 m) are captured within the National Forest Inventory (NFI) database only 50% of THaW with a canopy height range of 3–15 m are recorded. Current estimates of tree distribution neglect these finer‐grained features (i.e., smaller or less contiguous THaW canopies), which we argue will account for a significant proportion of landscape THaW cover.

AbstractThe melanogenesis pathway regulates pigmentation through the synergic action of various genes. We are interested in analyzing the genetic variations in the ASIP which determine eumelanin production in the dermis layer. In the present study, the ASIP gene was characterized in buffalo and 268 genetically unrelated buffaloes belonging to 10 different populations were genotyped for the non‐synonymous SNP (c.292C>T) identified in the exon 3 region of the gene using Tetra‐ARMS‐PCR. The TT genotype occurred at a higher rate in Murrah, followed by Nili Ravi, Tripura, and Paralakhemundi (42.63%, 19.30%, 3.45%, and 3.33%). These results convey the association of the black coat color of Murrah with the ASIP gene TT genotype and the lighter shades of black coat (brown and grayish‐black) color phenotype in other breeds with the CC genotype.

Published: May 2023

AbstractZinc oxide (ZnO) is a n‐type semiconductor with a wide band gap of 3.37 eV and a large excitation binding energy of 60 meV. ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) is considered as one of the best photocatalyst for the degradation of pollutants in water since it has large surface area to enhance the photocatalytic activity. This article aims to study the feasibility of using the agricultural waste of peppermint tea dregs extract with zinc nitrate hexahydrate as salt precursor to synthesis ZnO NPs through a simple, low cost, greener and environmentally friendly method. The qualitative phytochemical screening of peppermint tea dregs extract revealed the presence of flavonoids which can be served as the reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of ZnO NPs. Various analytical techniques such as FTIR, UV–vis, XRD, FESEM, EDX and PSA confirmed the presence of ZnO NPs. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized ZnO NPs showed a 95.03% degradation of crystal violet dye within 4 h of sunlight exposure.
An event‐driven fusion framework with auto‐scaling of edge intelligence for resilient smart applications in developing countries

Published: May 2023

AbstractInternet of Things has been a popular technology in recent years for deploying a large‐scale, smart environment monitoring application across the country, using fog computing and the cloud. However, most locations of the developing countries suffer from power outages and limited network connectivity. Moreover, varied population in different locations, may lead to either frequent or rare changes in the state of the monitored environment. Due to these stochastic conditions, there may be substantial increase in service time of the application with unnecessary battery and resource consumption of the fog node. For efficient utilization of fog node resources in dynamic environment conditions, an event‐driven information fusion framework is proposed using docker containerization technology and MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) as application layer protocol. The proposed framework provides resilience to the application in the presence of stochastic conditions and auto‐scales edge intelligence with minimum scaling operations. The performance of the framework is validated on a smart sanitation system use‐case application, proposed for autonomous monitoring of restrooms deployed in Indian rural and semi‐urban environment, and the experimental result show deviation of 2.8% in average response time of the application with average accuracy of 98.9%.
Back to basics: A mediation analysis approach to addressing the fundamental questions of integrated care evaluations
Authors: Lugo‐Palacios David G. , Clarke Jonathan M. , Kristensen Søren Rud 
Published: May 2023

AbstractHealth systems around the world are aiming to improve the integration of health and social care services to deliver better care for patients. Existing evaluations have focused exclusively on the impact of care integration on health outcomes and found little effect. That suggests the need to take a step back and ask whether integrated care programmes actually lead to greater clinical integration of care and indeed whether greater integration is associated with improved health outcomes. We propose a mediation analysis approach to address these two fundamental questions when evaluating integrated care programmes. We illustrate our approach by re‐examining the impact of an English integrated care program on clinical integration and assessing whether greater integration is causally associated with fewer admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions. We measure clinical integration using a concentration index of outpatient referrals at the general practice level. While we find that the scheme increased integration of primary and secondary care, clinical integration did not mediate a decrease in unplanned hospital admissions. Our analysis emphasizes the need to better understand the hypothesized causal impact of integration on health outcomes and demonstrates how mediation analysis can inform future evaluations and program design.
How does human resource management balance exploration and exploitation? The differential effects of intellectual capital‐enhancing HR practices on ambidexterity and firm innovation

Published: May 2023

AbstractAfter decades, dialogues on human resource management (HRM), intellectual capital (IC), and ambidexterity still continue, mirroring that the role of ambidextrous capability in translating the impact of HRM into superior performance remains unclarified. At this juncture, the current study proposes a novel theoretical framework to extend research on the relationship between IC‐enhancing HR practices and innovation. It is done sophisticatedly by examining how firm exploitative and exploratory capabilities mediate the relationship between different combinations of HR configurations and firm innovation. To this end, we designed rigorous time‐lagged research with three waves of data collection from the Iranian healthcare sector. Our analyses revealed that firm explorative and exploitative capabilities significantly mediate the relationship between human, social, and organizational capital‐enhancing HR configurations and firm innovation. More conspicuously, by unraveling interaction patterns among distinct HR configurations, our study revealed the intricacies of the functioning of IC‐enhancing HR practices in fueling firm ambidexterity. Hence, our study offers design options to navigate through exploitation and exploration in light of the firm's core innovation strategy. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings and suggest future research avenues.

AbstractBackgroundThere is no clear explanation for the large variation in threshold levels among peanut‐allergic children. We hypothesized that diet composition can partly explain this variation in thresholds, as nutrients and foods influence the intestinal barrier function and microbiota.Aimto explore the relationship between the threshold levels for peanut and nutritional intake and gut microbial composition in peanut‐allergic children.MethodsIn this explorative cross‐sectional study the cumulative threshold levels for peanut were determined by oral food challenge tests. Data on nutrients and foods consumed were obtained from 3‐day food diaries. Microbial composition of faeces and saliva were determined by molecular microbiota detection technique. Multivariable linear regression analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to explore the associations, adjusted for energy and senitization.ResultsSixty‐five children were included, of whom 32 (49%) (median age 50 months, IQR 28.0–96.5) had a positive oral food challenge. Significant positive associations were found between the intake of total carbohydrates, vitamin A and cumulative threshold levels for peanut, while significant negative associations were found for long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and omega‐6 fatty acids. No associations were found between threshold levels and microbial composition of faeces and saliva. However, a significant higher abundance of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes in saliva (p = 0.011 and 0.04, respectively) and of Proteobacteria in faeces (p = 0.003) were found in children with a positive peanut challenge compared to children with a negative peanut challenge.ConclusionAs a novel concept, this study showed that dietary composition is related to threshold levels for peanut.
