Published: September 2023

AbstractBlack oat (Avena strigosa Schreb.) is a cool‐season annual grass with Mediterranean origin. In contrast to other cool‐season grasses, black oat is more heat tolerant and disease resistant, making it an attractive option for the US upper Midwest, since it can be utilized during summer, when there is decreased productivity of cool‐season forages due to photorespiration. Black oat is recommended for USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 8b–10a, far away from the upper Midwest (zones 2a‐5b). The objective was to evaluate 10 black oat breeding lines (referred to as ‘UF1’ through ‘UF10’) for herbage accumulation, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM) concentrations. The experiment was carried out on May–July 2021 and 2022 in Stratford, WI. Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack cv. ‘TriCal 342′) and ‘Legend 567′ oat (Avena sativa L.) were included as controls, as well as ‘Ogle’ oat as a regionally recommended cultivar. Herbage accumulation differed by treatment (P = 0.002) and averaged 5900 lb acre−1 among black oat lines, with ‘UF3’ and ‘UF10’ having greater herbage accumulation than oat checks Ogle and Legend 567, and Trical 342 triticale. Crude protein concentration of UF7 and UF3 was 8.5 to 9.5%, respectively. The IVDOM concentrations were above 58% for all black oat. Results indicate certain black oat have the potential to provide forage resources during the early summer in the upper Midwest, but further studies are warranted to evaluate how to best manage this species into cropping or pasture systems in the region.

AbstractHomoleptic [L−I−L]+iodine(I) complexes (where L is a R3R2R1N tertiary amine) were synthesized via the [L−Ag−L]+→ [L−I−L]+cation exchange reaction. In solution, the amines form [R3R2R1N−Ag−NR1R2R3]+silver(I) complexes, which crystallize out from solution as themeso‐[L−Ag−L]+complexes, as characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The subsequent [L−I−L]+iodine(I) analogues were extremely reactive and could not be isolated in the solid state. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study the Ag+−N and I+−N interaction energies in silver(I) and iodine(I) complexes, with the former ranging from −80 to −100 kJ mol−1and latter from −260 to −279 kJ mol−1. The X‐ray crystal structures revealed Ag+⋅⋅⋅Cπand Ag+⋅⋅⋅H−C short contacts between the silver(I) cation and flexible N‐alkyl/N‐aryl groups, which are the first of their kind in such precursor complexes.

Published: September 2023

Abstractα‐Aminoalkylation of sulfonylarenes with alkylamines was found to be induced by photoirradiation. Here various types of alkylamines, such as trialkylamines, dialkylamines, N,N‐dialkylanilines and N‐alkylanilines as well as sulfonylarenes containing an azole, azine, heterole or benzene ring are available. The reaction proceeds through a homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) process consisting of addition of an α‐aminoalkyl radical to a sulfonylarene and elimination of the sulfonyl radical to give the α‐arylalkylamine, where photoirradiation is considered to induce homolysis of sulfonylarenes leading to the generation of α‐aminoalkyl radicals that make a radical chain operative.

AbstractBackgroundImmunotherapy (IO) has demonstrated promising results in treating extensive‐stage small cell lung cancer (ES‐SCLC), and the management of ES‐SCLC brain metastases (BMs) is now receiving significant clinical attention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of IO in the clinical management of BMs.MethodsBetween January 2020 and December 2021, the study included the records of 250 patients who were diagnosed with ES‐SCLC. Overall survival (OS), progression‐free survival, intracranial progression‐free survival, and the cumulative incidence of BMs were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and were compared using the log‐rank test. In addition, the Cox regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors.ResultsIn the entire group, 85 patients had baseline BMs (IO plus chemotherapy [IO + ChT], n = 38; ChT alone, n = 47), and 165 patients (IO + ChT, n = 86; ChT alone, n = 79) did not have BMs at the time of initial diagnosis. The median follow‐up was 22.4 months. The OS benefit with first‐line antiprogrammed death ligand 1 therapy was maintained regardless of whether patients had BMs (with BMs, 17.97 vs. 13.14 months [p = .03]; without BMs, 18.46 vs. 15.05 months [p = .047]). However, in patients without BMs, IO did not delay the median time to developing brain progression (10.84 vs. 10.74 months; p = .84), and it did not significantly reduce the risk of developing intracranial metastases (the 2‐year actuarial risk of developing BMs was 57.0% vs. 50.6%, respectively).ConclusionsAntiprogrammed death ligand 1 therapy improved OS regardless of the presence of BMs. However, IO did not delay the median time to brain progression or reduce the risk of intracranial metastasis in patients without baseline BMs. The findings of this study have important clinical implications for the future management of BMs from ES‐SCLC.

Published: September 2023

AbstractEngineering the composition and geometry of metallic sites has become a popular manner to boost reaction rate and control reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Many studies have been devoted to enhancing the stability of metallic nanoparticles during catalytic reactions by dispersion on metal oxide supports such as TiO2, CeO2or Nb2O5. These supports not only modulate electronic properties and dispersion/stabilization of metallic nanoparticle but also influence catalytic selectivity, resulting in the so‐called “strong metal‐support interaction” (SMSI). In this minireview, we outlined the discovery and fundamentals of SMSI, as well as its extensive development over years. In addition, we summarized recent approaches developed to induce the construction of SMSI between different metal nanoparticles and metal oxide supports. Associated characterization microscopic and spectroscopic techniques were emphasized. Despite being a prevalent concept in catalysis, the number of studies on SMSI in heterogeneous photocatalysis has been even in limitation. Herein, we highlighted the beneficial effects of SMSI on boosting photocatalytic activity for CO2reduction and H2evolution reactions. In general, despite some controversial aspects of the SMSI, this concept offers wide opportunities ahead and encourages researchers to rethink the local active site localization and photocatalyst design.

SummaryWith the rapid expansion of global offshore wind power market, the research on improving the full life cycle income and reducing the construction and operation and maintenance costs has attracted the attention of scholars in the industry. In view of the different aging degree and maintenance cycle of wind turbines, this paper studies the optimized design of patrol path for offshore wind farms based on genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with traveling salesman problem (TSP). Firstly, the problem of patrol routing planning in offshore wind farms is described as the traveling salesman problem of shortest route optimization. Secondly, the GA and PSO algorithms are simulated and verified separately, and the patrol path distance is taken as the objective function. Finally, through simulation experiments, the optimized patrol path performances of PSO and GA are compared, which can help to find a shortest route and reduce the operation and maintenance costs.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThorough knowledge of a patient's medical history and medications is necessary for providing safe oral surgery care, and may be considered a form of risk management. This study investigated the prevalence of medical conditions and medication types in patients referred to an Australian postgraduate oral surgery clinic over 2 years.Materials and MethodsA retrospective cross‐sectional study of the clinical records of 233 randomized patients referred to the Griffith University (Queensland, Australia) postgraduate oral surgery clinic in 2018 and 2019 was performed. Medical conditions and medications were counted and categorized, and descriptive statistics were generated.ResultsIn all, 133 patients (57%) had at least one medical condition. 58% of them (77) had two or more categories of medical conditions, representing nearly a third (33.0%) of all sampled patients. The most prevalent category of medical conditions was psychiatric (25.3%), followed closely by cardiovascular (24.5%) diseases. Cardiovascular medications were the most prevalent, comprising 23.6% of all medications recorded, followed by psychotropics (18.3%).ConclusionOver half of patients referred to the postgraduate oral surgery clinic had at least one systemic medical condition. Nearly a third of patients referred had at least two distinct systemic medical conditions. With an ageing population and the accompanying rise in multimorbidity globally, dental school curricula must adapt to prepare students to meet these challenges in their careers.

AbstractSolvent‐based CO2 capture consumes significant amounts of energy for solvent regeneration. To improve energy efficiency, this study investigates CO2 fixation in a solid form through solvation, followed by ionic self‐assembly‐aided precipitation. Based on the hypothesis that CO32− ions may bind with monovalent metal ions, we introduced Na+ into an aqueous hexane‐1,6‐diamine solution where CO2 forms carbamate and bicarbonate. Then, Na+ ions in the solvent act as a seed for ionic self‐assembly with diamine carbamate to form an intermediate ionic complex. The recurring chemical reactions lead to the formation of an ionic solid from a mixture of organic carbamate/carbonate and inorganic sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), which can be easily removed from the aqueous solvent through sedimentation or centrifugation and heated to release the captured CO2. Mild‐temperature heating of the solids at 80–150 °C causes decomposition of the solid CO2‐diamine‐Na molecular aggregates and discharge of CO2. This sorbent regeneration process requires 6.5–8.6 GJ/t CO2. It was also found that the organic carbamate/carbonate solid, without NaHCO3, contains a significant amount of CO2, up to 6.2 mmol CO2/g‐sorbent, requiring as low as 2.9–5.8 GJ/t CO2. Molecular dynamic simulations support the hypothesis of using Na+ to form relatively less stable, yet sufficiently solid, complexes for the least energy‐intensive recovery of diamine solvents compared to bivalent carbonate–forming ions.
Space as a lens for teacher agency: A case study of three beginning teachers in England, UK
Authors: Rushton Elizabeth A. C. , Bird Amy 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDrawing on conceptualisations of space, we explored the ways three beginning teachers in England experienced and developed agency during the first three years of their careers. We completed a series of interviews with the same three teachers during their year of Initial Teacher Education and subsequent two years as Early Career Teachers; a total of 15 interviews over three years). Our findings demonstrated that the key barrier to agency beginning teachers experienced was a rigid curriculum, with reduced opportunities for innovation at a classroom and/or department level. Participants highlighted enablers of agency including demonstrations of professional trust; opportunities to develop their pedagogies and subject knowledge and their own recognition of the temporal and dynamic nature of agency. Through engaging with conceptualisations of space, we have shown how some teachers were able to identify spaces of agency, move between different spaces of agency and even create spaces of agency where none previously existed. We argue that in addition to the widely understood emergent, dynamic, and temporal facets, conceptualisations of teacher agency as a phenomenon can be extended through the lens of space. Space helps us understand agency as a messy entanglement of the cultural, material, and relational conditions and qualities of agency made explicit in the ecological approach. Through space, we can explore these entanglements as multiple, non‐linear, loose connections which teachers bring together when they achieve agency. We contend that the lens of space may support more nuanced understandings of teacher agency in research and policymaking worldwide.

AbstractOlder adults are often transferred from one emergency department (ED) to another hospital for speciality care, but little is known about whether those transfers positively impact patients, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias (ADRD). In this study we aimed to describe the impact of interhospital transfer on older adults with and without ADRD. In a retrospective review of electronic medical records, we collected data on demographics, insurance type, initial code status, intensive care, length of stay, specialist consult, procedure within 48 hours, and discharge disposition for older adults (years). We included older adults with at least one ED visit, who were transferred to a tertiary care hospital. With logistic regression, we estimated odds of death, intensive care stay, or procedure within 48 hours by ADRD diagnosis. Patients with ADRD more often received a geriatrics (p < 0.001) or palliative care consult (p = 0.038). They were less likely to be full code at admission (p < 0.001) or to be discharged home (p < 0.001). Patients living with ADRD less often received intensive care or a procedure within 48 hours of transfer (odds ratio [OR] 1.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–2.88). Patients with ADRD were less likely to receive intensive care unit admission or specialist procedures after transfer. Further study is indicated to comprehensively understand patient‐centered outcomes.

Authors: Atkins Paul , Tomlinson George , Feig Denice S. ,   MiTy Collaborative Group
Published: September 2023

AbstractAimsOur aims were, in the setting of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in pregnancy, to investigate the association of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with perinatal outcomes and to examine whether treatment with metformin had a differential effect in those with and without PCOS.Materials and MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using the metformin in women with type 2 diabetes in pregnancy (MiTy) trial data. We examined differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes among MiTy participants with and without PCOS using linear and logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders. We additionally examined the relative difference in the effect of metformin treatment on pregnancy outcomes among MiTy participants with PCOS versus those without PCOS.ResultsAmong women with T2DM in pregnancy, PCOS was significantly associated with higher excess gestational weight gain (unadjusted 12.0 vs. 11.4 kg, adjusted mean difference 2.1 kg [0.3, 3.9], p = 0.021) and higher total insulin dose at 34–36 weeks (unadjusted 172 vs. 124 units per day, adjusted mean difference 44 units [15, 73], p = 0.004), but no difference was seen in neonatal outcomes. Unlike the non‐PCOS subgroup, metformin treatment versus placebo in the PCOS subgroup was associated with an increase in extremely large‐for‐gestational‐age infants (28.6 vs. 14.0%, p = 0.008 for interaction) and an increase in worsened pre‐existing maternal hypertension (16.7 vs. 4.5%, p = 0.046 for interaction).ConclusionsClinicians should be alerted to the potential for high insulin requirements and excess weight gain in pregnant patients with T2DM and comorbid PCOS. Moreover, metformin may not be as beneficial in this population as previously understood.
Governing intersectional climate justice: Tactics and lessons from Barcelona
Authors: Amorim‐Maia Ana Terra , Anguelovski Isabelle , Chu Eric , Connolly James 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCities and local governments are important actors in the global governance of climate change; however, the specific governance principles and arrangements that enable urban climate plans and policies to realize commitments to social equity and justice remain largely unexplored. This article uses the City of Barcelona, Spain, as a critical case study of emerging “intersectional climate justice” practice, where plans to build resilience to climate change are pursued in conjunction with efforts to tackle structural inequalities in accessing the built environment, health services, energy, housing, and transportation experienced by frontline communities. The study illustrates how Barcelona and its community partners do this through four different categories of governance and decision‐making tactics, which include: (1) experimenting with disruptive planning strategies; (2) working transversally across agencies and actors to institutionalize climate justice over time; (3) putting care at the center of urban planning; and (4) mobilizing place‐based approaches to tackle intersecting vulnerabilities of frontline residents. These tactics seek to redistribute the benefits of climate‐resilient infrastructures more fairly and to enhance participatory processes more meaningfully. Finally, we assess the limitations and challenges of mobilizing these tactics in everyday urban politics. Barcelona's experience contributes to research on climate governance by challenging the notion of distinct waves of governance and revealing concurrent dimensions of climate urbanism that coexist spatially and temporally. Our research also illustrates lessons for fairer climate governance in the city, where different tactics are mobilized to address structural and intersecting socioeconomic vulnerabilities that exacerbate the experience of climate change of frontline residents.
Goldilocks and the home mathematics environment: Parents' rate activities ‘too easy,’ ‘just right,’ or ‘too hard’ across early development
Authors: Ehrman Patrick , Ellis Alexa , Purpura David J. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractResearch focusing on the home mathematics environment has shown mixed results across age groups. Using data from a large online survey, we explored parents' perceptions of the age appropriateness of home mathematics activities for their children. Children's ages ranged from one to 6 years old (N = 958). Activities spanned multiple domains of early mathematics including numeracy, geometry, patterning, spatial, and measurement domains. Descriptive statistics show there are clear developmental shifts in the appropriateness ratings for activities within and across these domains. Findings provide insight for future implications on the measurement of the home mathematics environment, as well as future research on age differences in the home mathematics environment.

AbstractObjectivesThe purpose of the study is to identify the recessive diseases currently affecting real‐world pediatric patients in Taiwan, and whether current extended carrier screening panels have the coverage and detective power to identify the pathogenic variants in the carrier parents.MethodsA total of 132 trio‐samples were collected from May 2017 to March 2022. The participants were parents of pediatric intensive care unit patients who were critically ill or infants with abnormal newborn screening results. A retrospective carrier screening scheme was applied to analyze only the carrier status of pathogenic or likely pathogenic recessive variants resulting in diseases in their children. The recessive disorders diagnosed in our cohort were compared with the gene content in commercial panels.ResultsMutations in COQ4, PEX1, OTC, and IKBKG were the most frequently identified. In the parents of 44 children with confirmed diagnoses of recessive diseases, 47 (53.40%) screened positive for being the carriers of the same recessive disorders diagnosed in their children. The commercial panels covered 35.13% to 54.05% of the disorders diagnosed in this cohort.ConclusionClinicians and genetic counselors should be aware of the limitations of current extended carrier screening and interpret negative screening results with caution. Future panels should also consider genes with ethnically unique mutations such as pathogenic variants of the COQ4 gene in the East Asian population.
