Published: August 2023

AbstractIn an emerging market and developing economies, transaction governance structure (TGS) plays a crucial role in determining transaction costs (TC) and transaction efficiency (TE) for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). The presence of institutional voids (IVs) further complicates the situation by adding uncertainty and complexity to the transactions. Therefore, understanding the interplay between TGS, TC, TE, and IVs is essential for SMEs to thrive and contribute to the overall economic growth of the country. This study investigates the impact of transaction governance structure on transaction efficiency with the moderating effect of institutional voids on small and medium‐sized IT and software firms in Bangladesh. A sample of 131 SMEs was selected using nonprobability convenience and snowball sampling techniques. Data were collected using a self‐administered structured questionnaire with a 5‐point Likert scale and analysed using the PLS‐SEM approach. The study findings reveal that TGS significantly and positively impacts TE, and IV moderates the relationship between TGS and TE positively. The results of the study reveal that TGS plays a crucial role in reducing transaction costs and enhancing transaction efficiency for small and medium‐sized firms in Bangladesh, thus presenting opportunities for inclusive growth and development in the country's software and IT sector. This study provided valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners on the importance of TGS and IV in enhancing transaction efficiency. Additionally, the study acknowledges the significance of meeting social and environmental needs by leveraging corporate assets and expertise, strengthening a company's competitive strategy, and developing new business opportunities.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to examine empirically the relationship between international quality certification, and information and communication technology (ICT) capability with the firm's export performance by considering the variables of the firm's innovation as a mediator. The data used in this research is derived from the Enterprise Survey from the World Bank involving total more than 4000 firms' respondents from four countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam. Analyzed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, the findings show that both international quality certification and ICT capabilities, mediated by innovation, has a significant effect to export performance. The study's findings can help managers and policymakers in developing economies, particularly in ASEAN, improve their firms' export performance.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe posterior malleolus of the tibia is commonly accessed surgically through the posterolateral approach. This approach gives good access to the fibula and lateral aspect of the posterior tibia, however; there is little known on the vascular risks with this approach. The aim of this study was to assess and describe the anatomy of the fibular artery and its branches at the ankle region and relate it to the surgical access of the posterior malleolus. Eleven cadaveric foot and ankle specimens were dissected in layers, preserving the fibular artery, anterior tibial artery (ATA), and posterior tibial artery (PTA). Five distinct variations were found in the fibular artery: variable terminal branching with a hyperplastic fibular artery; a superficially located fibular artery; variation in the level and number of anastomoses; variation in the muscular branches; and a variable anterior perforating branch. The mean proximal distance from a horizontal line drawn through the medial protuberance of the medial malleolus of the tibia (horizontal line reference point—HLRP) to the posterior communicating branch of the fibular artery was 37.93 mm (range 19.03–85.43 mm). The mean proximal distance between HLRP and the anterior perforating branch of the fibular artery was 44.23 mm (range 35.44–62.32 mm). In 10 specimens, the fibular artery was immobile distal to its anterior perforating branch. The posterolateral approach specifically puts the fibular artery at risk and knowledge of its anatomy and variability is important when undertaking this approach. Understanding the common variations within the ankle's arterial anatomy can help surgeons protect these vessels from damage during the surgical approach.

Key Clinical MessageAmyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by tissue deposition of abnormally folded fibrillary proteins that can manifest itself by a wide variety of symptoms depending on the affected organs. GI involvement among amyloidosis patients is common. Its clinical manifestation often presents with nonspecific symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, and malabsorption. With no specific treatment existing for GI amyloidosis, therapy focuses on impeding amyloid deposition and managing the patients' symptoms with supportive measures. Here, we present an AL‐amyloidosis patient with GI involvement and intestinal failure (IF) who was successfully treated with the glucagon‐like peptide‐2 (GLP‐2) analogue teduglutide. Over the course of treatment with teduglutide, the patient was able to achieve independence from parenteral nutrition and experienced a significant improvement in quality of life (QoL) as stool frequency and consistency improved, urinary output was stabilized and body weight as well as body composition improved over the course of teduglutide therapy. With no longer being exposed to the burden and associated risks of parenteral nutrition, we were able to reduce the potential morbidity and mortality rate as well as to improve the patient's overall QoL. Intestinal tissue biopsy workup revealed a histopathological correlate for the clinical response; Congo‐Red‐positive intestinal depositions almost completely disappeared within 6 months of teduglutide therapy. Implementing intestinotrophic GLP‐2 analogue teduglutide may enrich the spectrum of treatment options for amyloidosis patients with IF who are dependent on parenteral support.

AbstractSilver electrocatalysts enable the conversion of CO2 to CO, thereby facilitating the transition to a carbon neutral society. To lower the cost of the expensive metal, silver nanostructures are often supported on carbon. This substrate offers great electrical conductivity, but it enhances the selectivity towards the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. In this work, carbon supports were functionalized with linear alkylamines of different chain lengths, to understand its effect on electrochemical performance. Alkylamines interact with the carbon surface and confer hydrophobic properties to the carbon support as well as making the local environment less acidic. These properties led not only to a suppression of the hydrogen evolution, but also to a remarkable enhancement in CO production. Despite the low silver weight loading (0.0016 mgAg cm−2), hexylamine‐functionalized carbon‐based catalysts achieved a CO to H2 ratio of 2.0, while the same material without the alkylamine functionalization only reached a ratio of 0.3, at −1.3 V vs RHE. This demonstrates the potential of hydrophobic functionalization for enhancing the CO selectivity of carbon‐supported catalysts.
Toward a fundamental understanding of the heterogeneous multiphysics behaviors of silicon monoxide/graphite composite anodes

Published: August 2023

AbstractSilicon monoxide (SiO) (silicon [Si] mixed with silicon dioxide [SiO2])/graphite (Gr) composite material is one of the most commercially promising anode materials for the next generation of high‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries. The major bottleneck for SiO/Gr composite anode is the poor cyclability arising from the stress/strain behaviors due to the mismatch between two heterogenous materials during the lithiation/delithiation process. To date, a meticulous and quantitative understanding of the highly nonlinear coupling behaviors of such materials is still lacking. Herein, an electro–chemo–mechanics‐coupled detailed model containing particle geometries is established. The underlying mechanism of the regulation between SiO and Gr components during electrochemical cycling is quantitatively revealed. We discover that increasing the SiO weight percentage (wt%) reduces the utilization efficiency of the active materials at the same 1 C rate charging and enhances the hindering effects of stress‐driven flux on diffusion. In addition, the mechanical constraint demonstrates a balanced effect on the overall performance of cells and the local behaviors of particles. This study provides new insights into the fundamental interactions between SiO and Gr materials and advances the investigation methodology for the design and evaluation of next‐generation high‐energy‐density batteries.

AbstractReversible hydrogen storage in the form of stable and mostly harmless chemical substances such as formic acid (FA) is a cornerstone of a fossil fuels‐free economy. In the past, we have reported a primary amine‐functionalized bifunctional iridium(III)‐PC(sp3)P pincer complex as a mild and chemoselective catalyst for the additive‐free decomposition of neat formic acid. In this manuscript, we report on the successful application of a redesigned complex bearing tertiary amine functionality as a catalyst for mild hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid. The catalyst demonstrates TON up to 6×104 and TOF up to 1.7×104 h−1. In addition to the practical value of the catalyst, experimental and computational mechanistic studies provide the rationale for the design of improved next‐generation catalysts.
Ring Strain Energy of Diheteropnictogeniranes El2Pn (Pn=N, P, As, Sb)– Accurate versus Additive Approaches
Authors: Espinosa Ferao Arturo , Rey Planells Alicia 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAccurate ring strain energy (RSE) values for sixty‐six parent pnictogeniranes having two other identical p‐block elements, El2Pn, have been reported. A decrease in RSE was observed to correlate with an increase in the p character of the AO used in endocyclic bonds, which is particularly remarkable on descending the groups 15 and 16. The latter also parallels higher ‐NICS(1) values, which seems not to be related with an increase in aromaticity, as pointed out by other NICS‐related criteria, but to atom‐centred diatropic currents mostly arising from the presence of lone pairs. Only in case of pnictogenaditrieliranes Tr2Pn (Tr=B, Al, Ga), the decrease of ‐NICS(1) is related to a lower Hückel‐type 2π‐electron aromaticity on descending group 13. The use of an additive methodology based on atom‐strain contributions enables estimation of RSEs for a large majority of all possible three‐membered rings containing group 13–16 elements with modest accuracy (RMSE=4.371 kcal/mol), that could be remarkably improved by using bond‐strain contributions (RMSE=1.183 kcal/mol) instead.

AbstractThe 1 : 2 reaction of the imidazole‐based dithiolate (2) with GeCl2 • dioxane in THF/TMEDA gives 3, a TMEDA‐complexed dithiolene‐based germylene. Compound 3 is converted to monothiolate‐complexed (5) and N‐heterocyclic carbene‐complexed (7) germanium(II) dithiolene complexes via Lewis base ligand exchange. A bis‐dithiolene‐based germylene (8), involving a 3c–4e S‐Ge‐S bond, has also been synthesized through controlled hydrolysis of 7. The bonding nature of 3, 5, and 8 was investigated by both experimental and theoretical methods.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe new possibility to perform operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the laboratory expands the potential field of applications towards a broad research community. These applications are multidisciplinary at heart and benefit from joint expertise from different fields, most importantly chemistry, physics, geology, and instrumentation. Hence, a development of collaboration networks that combine skills and knowhow from different fields is highly beneficial in this endeavor. As operando laboratory‐based XAS constitutes a highly interesting, advanced, and powerful characterization technique, we provide in this article practical guidelines for newcomers in the field, who would like to employ it. Here, we will describe ten important steps towards a successful operando laboratory‐based XAS experiment, which are not only useful for the catalysis community, but for a much wider audience from other research fields, such as environmental chemistry as well as battery and fuel cell research.

Published: August 2023

AbstractIntroductionInnovative moments (IMs) pinpoint new and more adaptative meanings that emerge in clients' discourse during psychotherapy. Studies with adult clients have found a greater proportion of IMs in recovered compared to unchanged cases, but similar studies have yet to be conducted with adolescents.AimsThe paper aims (1) to study retrospectively the emergence of IMs in therapy, using a post‐therapy interview, in adolescents that underwent psychotherapy for depression, and (2) to characterize the themes present in IMs identified retrospectively in the interviews.MethodSemi‐structured post‐treatment interviews conducted with 24 adolescents on the experience of taking part in a clinical trial of youth depression, were coded using the Innovative Moments Coding System. After identifying IMs, a thematic analysis identified the prominent themes within them.ResultsHigher presence of IMs were found in recovered compared to unchanged cases. Two main themes emerged in the IMs, changes that occurred with therapy and attributions of changes. Recovered cases presented more IMs centred on the self, whereas unchanged cases identified more non‐specific changes.ConclusionThis study suggests that it is possible to code IMs, identified retrospectively, based on post‐therapy interviews with adolescents. Meaningful differences were found between recovered compared to unchanged cases. Therapeutic recovery was associated with a higher focus on the self and more specificity in clients' representations of the change process.

Published: August 2023

AbstractUrea electrolysis is an emerging technology that bridges efficient wastewater treatment and hydrogen production with lower electricity costs. However, conventional Ni‐based catalysts could easily overoxidize urea into the secondary contaminant NOx−, and enhancing the innocuity of urea electrolysis remains a grand challenge to be achieved. Herein, we tailored the electrode‐electrolyte interface of an unconventional cation effect on the anodic oxidation of urea to regulate its activity and selectivity. Smaller cations of Li+ were discovered to increase the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of the innocuous N2 product from the standard value of ~15 % to 45 %, while decreasing the FEs of the over‐oxidized NOx− product from ~80 % to 46 %, pointing to a more sustainable process. The kinetic and computational analysis revealed the dominant residence of cations on the outer Helmholtz layer, which forms the interactions with the surface adsorbates. The Li+ hydration shells and rigid hydrogen bonding network interact strongly with the adsorbed urea to decrease its adsorption energy and subjection to C−N cleavage, thereby directing it toward the N2 pathway. This work emphasizes the tuning of the interactions within the electrode‐electrolyte interface for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of electrocatalytic processes.
A dual‐band polarization switchable antenna switch module for 5G new‐radio applications
Authors: Tsao Chien‐Ming , Hsu Heng‐Tung 
Published: August 2023

SummaryIn this paper, a dual‐band antenna switch module with switching capability targeting the inter‐band carrier aggregation at 5G new‐radio (NR) frequency range 2 (FR2) is presented. Inter‐band carrier aggregation has become increasingly prevalent in millimeter‐wave applications at Ka‐band frequencies as a means to secure sufficient bandwidth for improving the rate of data transmission. Antenna modules with polarization switching capability are considered as a critical component for maintaining proper transmission and reception of the signals at millimeter‐wave frequencies. The integrated system consists of a wideband single‐pole‐double‐throw (SPDT) switch and a dual‐band power amplifier (PA) that are realized on the Rogers RO3010 substrate. With the two double exponentially tapered slot antennas (DETSA) arranged in the mutually orthogonal configuration, the antenna switch module can provide linear polarization at ±45 degrees. A measured error‐vector‐magnitude (EVM) of −30.3 dB at 38 GHz using 200‐MHz standard 5G NR 256‐QAM orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation has demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed module to be implemented for millimeter‐wave applications.

AbstractPredator populations are imperiled globally, due in part to changing habitat and trophic interactions. Theoretical and laboratory studies suggest that heterogeneous landscapes containing prey refuges acting as source habitats can benefit both predator and prey populations, although the importance of heterogeneity in natural systems is uncertain. Here, we tested the hypothesis that landscape heterogeneity mediates predator–prey interactions between the California spotted owl (Strix occidentalis occidentalis)—a mature forest species—and one of its principal prey, the dusky‐footed woodrat (Neotoma fuscipes)—a younger forest species—to the benefit of both. We did so by combining estimates of woodrat density and survival from live trapping and very high frequency tracking with direct observations of prey deliveries to dependent young by owls in both heterogeneous and homogeneous home ranges. Woodrat abundance was ~2.5 times higher in owl home ranges (14.12 km2) featuring greater heterogeneity in vegetation types (1805.0 ± 50.2 SE) compared to those dominated by mature forest (727.3 ± 51.9 SE), in large part because of high densities in young forests appearing to act as sources promoting woodrat densities in nearby mature forests. Woodrat mortality rates were low across vegetation types and did not differ between heterogeneous and homogeneous home ranges, yet all observed predation by owls occurred within mature forests, suggesting young forests may act as woodrat refuges. Owls exhibited a type 1 functional response, consuming ~2.5 times more woodrats in heterogeneous (31.1/month ± 5.2 SE) versus homogeneous (12.7/month ± 3.7 SE) home ranges. While consumption of smaller‐bodied alternative prey partially compensated for lower woodrat consumption in homogeneous home ranges, owls nevertheless consumed 30% more biomass in heterogeneous home ranges—approximately equivalent to the energetic needs of producing one additional offspring. Thus, a mosaic of vegetation types including young forest patches increased woodrat abundance and availability that, in turn, provided energetic and potentially reproductive benefits to mature forest‐associated spotted owls. More broadly, our findings provide strong empirical evidence that heterogeneous landscapes containing prey refuges can benefit both predator and prey populations. As anthropogenic activities continue to homogenize landscapes globally, promoting heterogeneous systems with prey refuges may benefit imperiled predators.
