Published: March 2023

AbstractAmorphous metals and alloys are promising candidates for superior catalysts in many catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions. It is of great urgency to develop a general method to construct amorphous alloys and further clarify the growth mechanism in a wet‐chemical system. Herein, inspired by the conservation of energy during the crystallization process, amorphous PdCu nanoalloys have been successfully synthesized by promoting the chemical potential of the building blocks in solution. Benefiting from the abundant active sites and enhanced corrosion resistance, the synthesized amorphous PdCu nanostructures exhibit superior catalytic activity and durability over the face‐centered cubic one in formic acid decomposition reaction. More importantly, the successful fabrications of amorphous PdFe, PdCo, and PdNi further demonstrate the universality of the above strategy. This proposed strategy is promising to diversify the amorphous family.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe possibility of manufacturing edible packaging materials with tailored properties and low cost has attracted much interest. This work presents a new material for edible packaging made from flaxseed gum (FSG) and chitosan (Ch) loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs). ZnO‐NPs are synthesized in situ during the preparation of the edible film. The Ch/FSG/ZnO‐NPs films are prepared by casting Ch in different ratios of FSG (12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, and 50%). The resulting films are evaluated for their physicochemical, mechanical, and barrier properties to determine their suitability for coating or packaging food or bioproducts. By studying the antimicrobial activities of the ZnO‐NPs loaded films, we can see that ZnO‐NP's concentration highly affects these activities. In addition, the FSG improves mechanical properties. Films developed by incorporating ZnO‐NPs are proposed to be appropriate for low‐moisture food and pharmaceutical products, which can reduce environmental problems associated with synthetic packaging. Consequently, Ch/FSG composite films have the potential to replace conventional packaging.
Syntheses and Synthetic Applications of Functionalized Propargylic and Allylic Fluorides
Authors: Arimitsu Satoru 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis account presents the synthesis and application of propargylic and allylic fluorides containing hydroxy or carbonyl functional groups. In particular, the Barbier‐type reaction of difluoropropargyl bromides with aldehydes or chloroformates provides versatile propargylic fluorides, and the organocatalytic fluorination of dienamine intermediates has been demonstrated as an effective method to obtain allylic fluorides stereoselectively. Additionally, mechanistic insights into such reactions are discussed with the aid of density functional theory calculations. The report also describes the preparation of fluorinated 1,7‐diyne or 1,7‐enyne derivatives of these compounds. These propargylic and allylic fluorides can be used as building blocks for fluorinated heterocycles, such as fluorinated furans, tetrahydrofurans, and lactams. Additionally, fluorinated bi‐ or tri‐heterocyclic compounds can be synthesized via transition‐metal‐catalyzed reactions with fluorinated 1,7‐diyne or 1,7‐enyne derivatives.

Published: March 2023

AbstractA 12‐year‐old castrated male Shih‐Tzu dog was referred for uncontrolled glaucoma and uveitis with highly pigmented sclera, in both eyes (OU). On ophthalmic examination, the menace response, dazzle reflex and pupillary light reflex were negative OU. The intraocular pressure was 27 mmHg in the right eye (OD) and 70 mmHg in the left eye (OS) despite the administration of antiglaucoma eyedrops. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a closed ciliary cleft OU. Ocular ultrasonography revealed hyperechoic materials in the vitreous OU and retinal detachment OS. When presented for recheck, an extensive malacic corneal ulcer was observed OS. To relieve pain in the blind eyes, enucleation OS and pharmacologic ciliary body ablation (CBA) OD were performed. Histologically, ocular melanosis, which is an inherited disease in the Cairn Terrier breed, was identified in the enucleated eye. The uvea was heavily pigmented. The iris and ciliary body were mildly distorted by a single population of large, round, nonneoplastic cells with pigmented cytoplasm. There was no evidence of an intraocular mass or metastasis before and after intravitreal CBA. This is the first report of bilateral ocular melanosis in a Shih‐Tzu dog. Ocular melanosis is a possible differential diagnosis for globe presenting scleral pigmentation with glaucoma in even non‐Cairn Terrier breeds and pharmacologic CBA could be considered as a treatment for ocular melanosis with end‐stage glaucoma.

AbstractBackgroundDevelopment of exogenous enzymes is one of the most important discoveries in animal nutrition. The supplementation of exogenous enzymes in broiler diets allows for supplying nutrient deficiencies and to decrease endogenous losses.ObjectivesThe effects of phytase (Hostazym and Phyzyme) and xylanase (Ronozyme) enzymes were investigated on growth performance and Mucin2 gene expression in broilers.MethodsA completely randomized design was applied, including 7 treatments, 4 replicates and 25 birds per replicates. A total of 700 male Ross (308) broiler chickens were fed with similar diets supplemented by Hostazym and Phyzyme (500 and 1000 FTU/kg) and Ronozyme (100 and 200 EXU/kg). Weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were determined for three phases and entire rearing period. On 42 days of age, four birds per replicate were slaughtered. Total RNA was extracted from jejunum samples, and Mucin2 gene expression was measured by real‐time PCR.ResultsPhytase and xylanase enzymes had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on traits (WG and FCR) in grower and finisher phases and whole rearing period, but FI was not affected by enzymes (p > 0.05). Carcass (74.13 g) and breast (27.76 g) weights by Hostazym (1000 FTU/kg) were higher than other treatments (p < 0.05). Weight of liver, bursa and spleen were significantly influenced by enzymes (p < 0.05). Likewise, bursa and spleen weights in Hostazym (1000 FTU/kg feed) and Ronozyme (200 EXU/kg feed) were significantly higher than other treatments (p < 0.05). Mucin2 gene expression was affected by enzymes in whole treatments. The lowest amount of Mucin2 gene expression belonged to Ronozyme (200 and 100 EXU/kg), and the highest was belonging to Hostazym (1000 FTU/kg).ConclusionsPhytase enzymes have higher effect on broiler performance and Mucin2 gene expression compared to xylanase. High doses of Hostazym (1000 FTU/kg feed) could be supplemented in broiler chicken diets to improve optimum growth and feed efficiency.

Published: March 2023

AbstractA 12‐year‐old, neutered, male, domestic shorthair cat presented for investigation of acute‐onset respiratory distress and cough. Computed tomography scan showed bilateral pleural effusion and dorsal elevation of the trachea compatible with a mass effect. A median sternotomy was performed. Anaesthetic protocol consisted of premedication with intravenous methadone (0.2 mg/kg), induction with alfaxalone to effect and maintenance with isoflurane in oxygen. Transversus thoracic muscle plane block was performed injecting 0.4 mL/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine per side. Fentanyl (2 μg/kg) was administered as rescue analgesia once during surgery. The Glasgow Composite Pain Scale was assessed postoperatively. Methadone was given as rescue analgesia postoperatively when Glasgow pain score was greater than 5/20. The first administration of methadone was required at 8 hours after the transversus thoracic muscle plane block was performed. This case showed that the ultrasound‐guided transversus thoracic muscle plane block is a feasible technique in feline patients as part of a multimodal analgesia plan in a cat undergoing sternotomy.

Published: March 2023

AbstractExploring synthesis methods fosters new ways to design materials in faster and cheaper ways. In this fundamental study, we present mechanochemical loading of photoactive dye molecules into porous metal‐organic frameworks (=MOFs) as an alternative and promising strategy to form hybrid switch@MOF systems. Six different spiropyrans were inserted into the two MOFs MOF‐5 and MIL‐68(In) in varying compositions. By this, the concentration‐dependent enclosure characteristics were determined. This fast and simple synthesis strategy has never been reported so far, and thus provides completely new possibilities for the formation of two‐ or even multi‐component systems.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis chapter compares the quality of aspects of teacher education in the Nordic countries. Scandinavian countries employ nationwide surveys in higher education that provide essential information for education authorities of each country; these measurements are used in public sector debates concerning teacher education, and in individual teacher education environments. The results from these measurements can be used for benchmarking.This chapter compares the quality of various aspects of teacher across Nordic countries via a survey of student teachers. We collected data from all Nordic countries using similar surveys that were translated into the various Nordic languages by native speakers. All student teachers who participated in the study were in the final phase of their teacher education programme. Student teachers’ evaluations of educational theory, subject didactics, practice training, time-on-task, as well as several motivation categories were examined. The analyses show several similarities. However, the biggest difference between average scale values is found between the Danish and Finnish data sets. There is a standard deviation in difference in favour of Denmark between the relevance of educational theory teaching experienced in Denmark and Finland. Further, the time on task in Danish teacher education is far higher than in the other Nordic countries.
Bringing a Global Teacher Education Model to Scandinavia: Examining Teach First in Norway
Authors: Nesje Katrine 
Published: March 2023

AbstractTeach For All (TFAll) represents a unique private–public partnership model of fast-track teacher education. This chapter explores TFAll’s expansion to the Scandinavian countries and uses Teach First Norway (TFN) as the context for examining this employment-based route into teaching, focusing on individual participant perspectives. Contemporary career choices can be understood as fluid and negotiable, which has implications for the design of programmes that aim to effectively recruit competent professionals. Traditionally, research on the motivation for choosing teaching as a profession has been based on the assumption that people will commit to teaching as a long-term career. The relevance of this analysis may be decreasing, as many people seem to consider and pursue a range of career possibilities. This study used a multi-method approach to examine TFN participants’ initial motivations for entering the programme and the development of their professional identities throughout. The findings show that the motivations for participating are complex, and the programme is perceived by many as an opportunity for self-development and resume-building. Participation in TFAll programmes might be viewed as part of a self-development project in which the candidates are given the opportunity to ‘try out’ teaching.
Back-to-the-Future Whois: An IP Address Attribution Service for Working with Historic Datasets
Authors: Streibelt Florian , Lindorfer Martina , Gürses Seda , Gañán Carlos H. , Fiebig Tobias 
Published: March 2023

AbstractResearchers and practitioners often face the issue of having to attribute an IP address to an organization. For current data this is comparably easy, using services like whois or other databases. Similarly, for historic data, several entities like the RIPE NCC provide websites that provide access to historic records. For large-scale network measurement work, though, researchers often have to attribute millions of addresses. For current data, Team Cymru provides a bulk whois service which allows bulk address attribution. However, at the time of writing, there is no service available that allows historic bulk attribution of IP addresses. Hence, in this paper, we introduce and evaluate our ‘Back-to-the-Future whois’ service, allowing historic bulk attribution of IP addresses on a daily granularity based on CAIDA Routeviews aggregates. We provide this service to the community for free, and also share our implementation so researchers can run instances themselves.
Sample size determination for training set optimization in genomic prediction

Published: March 2023

AbstractKey messageA practical approach is developed to determine a cost-effective optimal training set for selective phenotyping in a genomic prediction study. An R function is provided to facilitate the application of the approach.AbstractGenomic prediction (GP) is a statistical method used to select quantitative traits in animal or plant breeding. For this purpose, a statistical prediction model is first built that uses phenotypic and genotypic data in a training set. The trained model is then used to predict genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for individuals within a breeding population. Setting the sample size of the training set usually takes into account time and space constraints that are inevitable in an agricultural experiment. However, the determination of the sample size remains an unresolved issue for a GP study. By applying the logistic growth curve to identify prediction accuracy for the GEBVs and the training set size, a practical approach was developed to determine a cost-effective optimal training set for a given genome dataset with known genotypic data. Three real genome datasets were used to illustrate the proposed approach. An R function is provided to facilitate widespread application of this approach to sample size determination, which can help breeders to identify a set of genotypes with an economical sample size for selective phenotyping.

Abstract
The Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 (PhTAC125) is considered an interesting alternative host for the recombinant protein production, that can be explored when the conventional bacterial expression systems fail. Indeed, the manufacture of all the difficult-to-express proteins produced so far in this bacterial platform gave back soluble and active products. Despite these promising results, the low yield of recombinant protein production achieved is hampering the wider and industrial exploitation of this psychrophilic cell factory. All the expression plasmids developed so far in PhTAC125 are based on the origin of replication of the endogenous pMtBL plasmid and are maintained at a very low copy number. In this work, we set up an experimental strategy to select mutated OriR sequences endowed with the ability to establish recombinant plasmids at higher multiplicity per cell. The solution to this major production bottleneck was achieved by the construction of a library of psychrophilic vectors, each containing a randomly mutated version of pMtBL OriR, and its screening by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The selected clones allowed the identification of mutated OriR sequences effective in enhancing the plasmid copy number of approximately two orders of magnitude, and the production of the recombinant green fluorescent protein was increased up to twenty times approximately. Moreover, the molecular characterization of the different mutant OriR sequences allowed us to suggest some preliminary clues on the pMtBL replication mechanism that deserve to be further investigated in the future.

Key points
• Setup of an electroporation procedure for Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125.
• Two order of magnitude improvement of OriR-derived psychrophilic expression systems.
• Almost twenty times enhancement in Green fluorescent protein production.

AbstractA goal of the cooperative agreement between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Tobacco Reference Products (CTRP) at the University of Kentucky was to produce a standard reference cigarette for researchers to further tobacco science. The 1R6F certified reference cigarette for analytical testing was developed to be typical of an American blend cigarette. The cigarettes have been used in proficiency testing (PT) schemes under the supervision of the CTRP since 2016 for a variety of parameters. Data were compared from 8 rounds of PT schemes submitted by participating laboratories, which include various international stakeholders comprised of academic institutions, federal research/regulatory laboratories, tobacco product manufacturers, and independent contract testing laboratories. Evaluation of the datasets for harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) within the mainstream smoke of the 1R6F certified reference cigarette included tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA), tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide (TNCO), and Benzo[α]pyrene (BαP). Of the datasets evaluated, less than 5 % resulted in either a warning or alert, and less than 2 % resulted in an alert. Comparisons across multiple PT rounds revealed no significant differences in the consensus means of the tested parameters. Evaluation of data submitted by participating laboratories for multiple proficiency test rounds shows that the 1R6F certified reference cigarette is an acceptable material as a control reference for the analysis of HPHCs which is imperative since some stakeholders may be required to participate in, and receive satisfactory results, from PT for accreditation purposes.

Published: March 2023

AbstractTo date, there are quite a few studies assessing olfaction and gustation in blindness, with great variability in sample size, participants’ age, blindness onset and smell and taste evaluation methods. Indeed, the evaluation of olfactory and gustatory performance can differ depending on several factors, including cultural differences. Therefore, here we analysed through a narrative review, all the works reporting a smell and taste assessment in blind individuals during the last 130 years, trying to summarize and address the knowledge in this field.

Published: March 2023

AbstractCinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) essential oil has vast potential as an antimicrobial but is limited by its volatility and rapid degradation. To decrease its volatility and prolong the efficacy of the biocide, cinnamon essential oil was encapsulated into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The characterization of MSNs and cinnamon oil encapsulated with silica nanoparticles (CESNs) was estimated. Additionally, their insecticidal activity against the rice moth Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) larvae was evaluated. The MSN surface area decreased from 893.6 to 720 m2 g−1 and the pore volume also decreased from 0.824 to 0.7275 cc/g after loading with cinnamon oil. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and N2 sorption by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) confirmed the successful formation and evolution of the synthesized MSNs and CESN structures. The surface characteristics of MSNs and CESNs were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Compared with the sub-lethal activity values, the order of toxicity after 6 days of exposure was MSNs ˃ CESN ˃ cinnamon oil ˃ silica gel ˃ peppermint oil. The efficacy of CESNs gradually increases its toxicity more than MSN after the 9th day of exposure.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose
There is limited information available regarding the use of trauma modalities within the transgender and gender diverse community (TGD) to address gender-based trauma, including discrimination and invalidation, particularly for adolescents and young adults (AYA). The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel treatment approach to addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms within TGD AYA, inclusive of gender-based trauma.

Methods
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) was implemented as a brief intervention for TGD AYA who had a positive screening for PTSD symptomatology. Measures were used to assess PTSD symptoms, as well as changes in self-perceived resilience and positive well-being. Two case vignettes are provided to demonstrate the adaptations made to be responsive to the unique needs of TGD AYA for trauma processing.

Results
Preliminary outcomes from two case studies indicate the strength of NET when working with TGD AYA who face multiple traumatic events and continue to experience invalidation.

Conclusion
NET shows promise as an effective brief intervention to reduce PTSD symptomology and increase resiliency in TGD AYA.
