Published: May 2023

AbstractAlthough multifunctional aerogels are expected to be used in applications such as portable electronic devices, it is still a great challenge to confer multifunctionality to aerogels while maintaining their inherent microstructure. Herein, a simple method is proposed to prepare multifunctional NiCo/C aerogels with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties, superhydrophobicity, and self-cleaning by water-induced NiCo-MOF self-assembly. Specifically, the impedance matching of the three-dimensional (3D) structure and the interfacial polarization provided by CoNi/C as well as the defect-induced dipole polarization are the primary contributors to the broadband absorption. As a result, the prepared NiCo/C aerogels have a broadband width of 6.22 GHz at 1.9 mm. Due to the presence of hydrophobic functional groups, CoNi/C aerogels improve the stability in humid environments and obtain hydrophobicity with large contact angles > 140°. This multifunctional aerogel has promising applications in electromagnetic wave absorption, resistance to water or humid environments.
Cognitive subtyping of university students with dyslexia in a semi-transparent orthography: what can weaknesses and strengths tell us about compensation?
Authors: Faísca Luís , Reis Alexandra , Araújo Susana 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDevelopmental dyslexia is characterized by a profile of reading- and writing-related difficulties which stands out as a core deficit in phonological processing. Although these difficulties seem to persist into adulthood, it is still an open question to what extent they are immune, or not, to the extensive training resulting from extended schooling. The main objective of this study was to explore the heterogeneity of the cognitive profile of European Portuguese highly literate adults with dyslexia. Thirty-one university students diagnosed with dyslexia during childhood and their matched skilled adult control readers were assessed through a battery of reading and cognitive tests. A cluster analysis of data obtained from participants with dyslexia identified two profile groups. While Cluster 1 grouped participants with clear phonological deficits and concomitant reading difficulties, Cluster 2 showed better performance on most of the core skills associated with reading and also better general cognitive abilities, suggesting that these dyslexic readers have partially resolved their phonological constraints along the development, probably due to the systematic exposure to reading and writing. As Cluster 2 matched typical readers in general cognitive abilities, it might also be the case that cognitive strengths associated with general intelligence worked as protective factors, helping students to strategically compensate for their reading difficulties. Overall, these results suggest that both mechanisms–partial remediation of the core phonological deficit and adoption of compensatory strategies supported by general cognitive skills–might contribute together to improving the reading performance of highly literate adults with dyslexia.

Published: May 2023

AbstractOne of the most diverse clades of ciliated protozoa, the class Spirotrichea, displays a series of unique characters in terms of eukaryotic macronuclear (MAC) genome, including high fragmentation that produces nanochromosomes. However, the genomic diversity and evolution of nanochromosomes and gene families for spirotrich MAC genomes are poorly understood. In this study, we assemble the MAC genome of a representative euplotid (a new model organism in Spirotrichea) species, Euplotes aediculatus. Our results indicate that: (a) the MAC genome includes 35,465 contigs with a total length of 97.3 Mb and a contig N50 of 3.4 kb, and contains 13,145 complete nanochromosomes and 43,194 predicted genes, with the majority of these nanochromosomes containing tiny introns and harboring only one gene; (b) genomic comparisons between E. aediculatus and other reported spirotrichs indicate that average GC content and genome fragmentation levels exhibit interspecific variation, and chromosome breaking sites (CBSs) might be lost during evolution, resulting in the increase of multi-gene nanochromosome; (c) gene families associated with chitin metabolism and FoxO signaling pathway are expanded in E. aediculatus, suggesting their potential roles in environment adaptation and survival strategies of E. aediculatus; and (d) a programmed ribosomal frameshift (PRF) with a conservative motif 5′-AAATAR-3′ tends to occur in longer genes with more exons, and PRF genes play an important role in many cellular regulation processes.
Identifying Methods to Select and Tailor Implementation Strategies to Context-Specific Determinants in Child Mental Health Settings: A Scoping Review
Authors: Sridhar Aksheya , Olesegun Ola , Drahota Amy 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis scoping review describes the state of the literature regarding Implementation Strategy Mapping Methods (ISMMs) within the context of child mental health practice delivery. Goals included (a) identify and describe ISMMs addressing determinants of implementing mental health evidence-based interventions (MH-EBIs) for children and (b) describe the scope of the literature (e.g., outcomes, remaining gaps) related to identified ISMMs. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, 197 articles were identified. After removing 54 duplicates, 152 titles and abstracts were screened, yielding 36 articles that were screened during the full-text review. The final sample included four studies and two protocol papers (n = 6). A data charting codebook was developed a priori to capture relevant information (e.g., outcomes) and content analysis was utilized to synthesize findings. Six ISMMs were identified: innovation tournament, concept mapping, modified conjoint analysis, COAST-IS, focus group, and intervention mapping. ISMMs were successful in leading to the identification and selection of implementation strategies at participating organizations, and all ISMMs included stakeholders throughout these processes. Findings revealed the novelty of this research area and highlighted numerous areas for future investigation. Implications related to implementation, service, and client outcomes are discussed, including the possible impact of utilizing ISMMs to increase access to MH-EBIs for children receiving services in community settings. Overall, these findings contribute to our understanding of one of the five priority areas within implementation strategy research—enhancing methods used to design and tailor implementation strategies—by providing an overview of methods that may be utilized to facilitate MH-EBI implementation in child mental health care settings.Trial Registration: Not applicable.
Transition to hybrid teaching of mathematics: challenges and coping strategies of Swedish teachers
Authors: Ottergren Elin , Ampadu Ernest 
Published: May 2023

AbstractSweden was one of the few countries that did not close down their schools during the Covid-19 pandemic. Different hybrid teaching methods were adopted, some of which are here to stay. This qualitative study explores the challenges that Swedish mathematics teachers had transitioning from face-to-face to hybrid teaching and the coping strategies that they adopted to reduce the effect of these challenges on their practices, well-being and students’ learning experiences. The results from the study were gathered from some 51 primary and secondary mathematics teachers in Stockholm using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analysed with cognisance of Lazarus and Folkman’s coping theory and Simonson’s equivalence theory. The results revealed that hybrid teaching had some negative impact on teaching quality, student achievement, student health, teacher workload, and teacher-student dialogue, which underpins the Swedish school curriculum. This lack of dialogue and high-quality interaction undermines the equivalency theory principle, which suggests that the format of instruction should not influence the quality of students’ learning experiences. Also, the results revealed that majority of the teachers ascribed positively to problem-based coping strategies as compared to the emotion-based coping strategy as they worked hard to provide students with good learning opportunities.

Abstract
Objectives
Opioid use disorder is a major public health concern that accounts for a high number of potential years of life lost. Buprenorphine/naloxone is a recommended treatment for opioid use disorder that can be started in the emergency department (ED). We developed an ED-based program to initiate buprenorphine/naloxone for eligible patients who live with opioid use disorder, and to provide unscheduled, next-day follow-up referrals to an opioid use disorder treatment clinic (in person or virtual) for continuing patient care throughout Alberta.

Methods
In this quality improvement initiative, we supported local ED teams to offer buprenorphine/naloxone to eligible patients presenting to the ED with suspected opioid use disorder and refer these patients for follow-up care. Process, outcome, and balancing measures were evaluated over the first 2 years of the initiative (May 15, 2018–May 15, 2020).

Results
The program was implemented at 107 sites across Alberta during our evaluation period. Buprenorphine/naloxone initiations in the ED increased post-intervention at most sites with baseline data available (11 of 13), and most patients (67%) continued to fill an opioid agonist prescription at 180 days post-ED visit. Of the 572 referrals recorded at clinics, 271 (47%) attended their first follow-up visit. Safety events were reported in ten initiations and were all categorized as no harm to minimal harm.

Conclusions
A standardized provincial approach to initiating buprenorphine/naloxone in the ED for patients living with opioid use disorder was spread to 107 sites with dedicated program support staff and adjustment to local contexts. Similar quality improvement approaches may benefit other jurisdictions.
Physics Linkages Between Arterial Morphology, Pulse Wave Reflection and Peripheral Flow
Authors: Tucker Trevor 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background
Previous physics-based analyses of arterial morphology in relation to pulsatile pressure and flow, with pulse wave reflection, focused on the large arteries and required assumptions about the relative thicknesses of arterial walls and the velocities of pulse waves in the arteries. A primary objective of this study was to analyze arterial morphology and pulse wave reflection, using physics-based wave propagation, which explicitly includes arterial stiffness, with potential autonomic flow regulation, for both large and small arteries.

Methods
Pulse wave reflections that occur at arterial bifurcations, and their impact on macrocirculation and microcirculation pulse pressures and flows, are analyzed using the physics of wave propagation and impedance matching.

Results
The optimum combinations of arterial dimensions and stiffnesses which minimize pulsatile reflections at arterial bifurcations are identified for both macrocirculation and microcirculation. The optimum ratio of arterial bifurcations’ branch-to-trunk luminal areas is predicted to have a value of 1.26, (with corresponding optimum stiffnesses) based on the principle that autonomic flow regulation minimizes pulsatile reflections. This newly predicted value of area ratio compares favorably with the Murray Scaling Law value of 1.26. For an area ratio of 1.26, the optimum bifurcation stiffness ratio is predicted to have a value of 1.12 for bifurcations in the macrocirculation and a value of 0.89 in the microcirculation. The analysis predicts that minimal pulsatile reflections may occur for area ratios not equal to 1.26, when vasodilation adjusts arterial stiffness to compensate for non-optimal arterial area ratios. The analysis predicts that the capillaries have about one-tenth the stiffness of the aorta, and the capillary bed possesses about one thousand times more total luminal area than the aorta. The analysis predicts there are about thirty generations, aorta to capillaries, of arterial bifurcations in an arterial tree.

Conclusions
The optimum arterial morphologies predicted by this physics-based analysis correspond to those observed in human vascular physiology. The contributions that arterial stiffnesses and dimensions make to optimal pulsatile flow are relevant to the development of pharmaceuticals related to autonomic vasodilation, to the development of optimally designed stents and to surgical procedures related to vascular modification.
Age‐aware relay strategy with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in remote monitoring systems

Published: May 2023

AbstractRemote monitoring systems has emerged to automate public services, where Internet of Things (IoT) devices are deployed to collect and relay streams of status updates to a remote control centre. The freshness of collected data is of critical importance to system performance, which can be quantified by the concept of age of information (AoI). To obtain timely perception of the monitored area, each sensor tends to sample status updates at the maximum frequency, which may lead to device drop‐outs due to limited battery capacity. Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered as a promising technology to prolong network lifetime. In this paper, a SWIPT‐enabled two‐hop relay network, where a relay node uses power splitting protocol to assist data transmissions from multiple source nodes to the destination is considered. The impact of power splitting coefficients, data arrival pattern and time‐varying channel conditions on the averaged age performance and expected lifetime of the system is theoretically analysed. Moreover, a lightweight relay strategy which selectively forward packets based on a reward function consisting of energy level at relay node and expected age reduction is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy outperforms existing schemes in collecting status updates in a timely and energy‐efficient manner.

AbstractAfter the Silk Road closure, many studies started focusing on the trend and patterns of darknet-related crimes in the 2010s. This first study combined a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis in the field. This study clarifies 49 articles in criminology and penology among 1150 publications relating to the darknet on the Web of Science database to review and analyze the research evolutions of this topic in the last decade. The main findings point out (1) almost all leading authors with their most influential papers came from the Global South with predominant contributions; (2) unbalancing publications between regional scholars and their institutions and countries although the darknet-related criminals occurred and operated without border; and (3) some specialized themes have identified to call further extensive research such as policing interventions in the darknet and flows of the cryptocurrency in cryptomarkets, among others.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTField hockey players are exposed to high biomechanical loads. These loads often cannot be adequately estimated with global navigational satellite systems (GNSS) since on‐field displacements during these movements are often small. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential of different proxies of biomechanical load in field hockey with use of a simple inertial measurement unit (IMU) system. Sixteen field hockey players performed a range of field hockey specific exercises, including running with stick on the ground, running upright, and different types of shots and passes. All exercises were performed at two different frequencies (i.e. number of actions per minute). A variety of proxies of biomechanical load (time spent with forward tilted pelvis, time spent in lunge position, time spent with flexed thighs, and Hip Load) were obtained using wearable IMUs. In addition, total distance was quantified using a GNSS system. Linear mixed models were constructed to determine the effects of the different exercises and action frequency on all quantified metrics. All metrics increased approximately proportional to the increase in action frequency. Total distance and Hip Load were greatest for the running exercises, but the different types of shots and passes had greater effects on specific on the times spent in the demanding body postures. This shows that these proxies of biomechanical load can be used to estimate field hockey‐specific biomechanical loads. The use of these metrics may provide coaches and medical staff with a more complete view of the training load that field hockey players experience.Highlights

New proxies of biomechanical load derived with inertial measurement units were used to quantify field hockey specific biomechanical loads.
These new biomechanical metrics are complementary to metrics obtained with global navigation satellite systems and increased proportionally to a doubling of the exercise intensity.
The presented biomechanical load metrics can help field hockey coaches to achieve a better balance between load and recovery for their players.
Ingestion of a collagen peptide containing high concentrations of prolyl-hydroxyproline and hydroxyprolyl-glycine reduces advanced glycation end products levels in the skin and subcutaneous blood vessel walls: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of collagen peptides (CP) containing high concentrations of prolyl-hydroxyproline and hydroxyprolyl-glycine on advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels in the skin and subcutaneous blood vessel walls. A total of 31 individuals aged 47-87 years were randomly assigned to receive either 5 g/day of fish-derived CP or a placebo for 12 weeks. Body and blood compositions and AGEs levels were measured at the beginning and end of the study. No adverse events were observed, and both groups’ blood and body compositions did not change significantly. However, the CP group had significantly lower AGEs levels and a slightly lower insulin resistance index (homeostasis model assessment ratio [HOMA-R]) than the placebo group. In addition, the percentage changes in AGEs and HOMA-R levels were positively and strongly correlated in both groups. These findings suggest that fish-derived CP may be effective in reducing AGEs levels and improving insulin resistance.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
The phytochemical investigation of Dialium corbisieri seeds led to the isolation of five monoterpenoid indole alkaloids along with a phytoserotonin, 1-6 and among the known compounds, the spectroscopic data of (5S)-methoxy-akuammiline (1) was reported for the first time. The structures were elucidated based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques such as ultraviolet, infrared, high-resolution electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and electron-capture dissociation spectrum calculations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity and cell progression in the human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cell line.
Adapted method for rapid detection and quantification of pathogen Campylobacter jejuni from environmental water samples
Authors: Sun Angela , Mirzayans Paul M , Piggott Andrew M , Stanton Jo-Ann L , Sunna Anwar 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Building on a previously developed workflow for rapid and sensitive pathogen detection by qPCR, this work has established a sample treatment strategy that produces consistent quantification efficiencies (QEs) for Campylobacter jejuni against a complex and highly variable sample matrix from a suburban river. The individual treatments most effective at minimizing the inhibitory effects of the sample matrix were pH buffering with HEPES (50 mM, pH 5.7) and addition of the surfactant Tween 20 (2% v/v). Unexpectedly, sample acidification (pH 4–5) resulting from the use of aged Tween 20 that had undergone partial hydrolysis, appeared to play a key role in enhancing QE. This effect could be replicated by direct pH adjustment with dilute hydrochloric acid and may be linked to the solubilization and removal of inhibitory particles at an acidic pH. While the effectiveness of each individual treatment method varied, a combined treatment of either HEPES buffer + Tween 20, or direct pH adjustment + Tween 20, consistently produced QEs of 60%–70% and up to 100%, respectively, over a sampling period of one year. The consistency and scalability of this workflow make it a suitable alternative to culture-based ISO methods for detecting Campylobacter spp.
Rice-based fermented products: the functional properties of the microorganisms in the defined starter contributing to melanogenesis inhibition activity
Authors: Sangkaew Orrarat , Yompakdee Chulee 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Rice contains numerous nutrients and biologically active compounds. The phytochemical composition of rice varies among cultivars, leading to diversities in biological activities. Fermentation is an efficient way of improving nutrient bioavailability and the functional properties of raw materials. It enhances and/or synthesizes the compounds with health-promoting or decreased antinutritive compounds during the fermentation process. Rice-based fermented products have been reported for enhancing various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-wrinkle and anti-melanogenesis activities. Melanogenesis, melanin biosynthesis, is the cause of human skin pigmentation; however, the accumulation of melanin leads to skin hyper-pigmentary disorders, such as freckles and melasma. In this review, the information on rice-based fermented products has been assembled to illustrate the fermented rice properties, especially melanogenesis inhibition activity, including functional roles of the microorganisms in the fermented rice products.
