Authors: Cifo- Izquierdo María Isabel , Gea-García Gemma María , Yuste-Lucas Juan Luis 
Published: September 2023

The aim of this research was to analyzed the emotional intensity for the competitive and non-competitive practice of opposition sports games according to participants’ gender. 73 university students from the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences took part in the research. After every sport game, the students assessed the intensity of their emotions experienced through the completion of the GES questionnaire. Generalized estimation equations showed that when competing in opposition sports games, higher emotional intensities were recorded in the three types of emotions. In addition, the boys registered higher scores than the girls. However, the presence or absence of competition did not determine differences between genders. The findings allow us to affirm that competition must be included in opposition games so that the emotional experience is more intense, although opportunities should be given to all students so that they can go through the situation of winner and loser. This study demonstrates the benefit of equal opportunities for women and men in the context of emotional physical coeducation. In order to encourage coeducation, from the teaching side other motor situations should be planned that compensate for the difference in emotional intensity experienced by the girls with respect to the boys.
El objetivo de este estudio fue estudiar las intensidades emocionales suscitadas durante la práctica de juegos deportivos de oposición con presencia y ausencia de competición en función del género. Participaron 73 estudiantes universitarios, los cuales después de cada juego valoraron la intensidad de las emociones experimentadas a través de la cumplimentación del cuestionario GES. Las ecuaciones de estimación generalizadas mostraron que al competir en los juegos deportivos de oposición se registraron intensidades emocionales más altas en los tres tipos de emociones. Además, los chicos registraron puntuaciones más altas que las chicas. Sin embargo, la presencia o ausencia de competición no determinó diferencias entre géneros. Estos hallazgos permiten afirmar que se debe incluir la competición en los juegos de oposición para que la vivencia emocional sea más intensa, aunque se debería dar oportunidades a todos los alumnos para que puedan pasar por la situación de ganador y perdedor. Este estudio aporta evidencias para favorecer la igualdad de oportunidades del género femenino y masculino en el contexto de una coeducación física emocional. Para favorecer la coeducación, desde la acción docente se deben planificar otras situaciones motrices que compensen la diferencia en intensidad emocional que vivencian las chicas con respecto a los chicos.

Published: September 2023

Managing healthcare waste (HCWTT) from healthcare facilities is difficult. It's high up on the list of health concerns. This growth in HCWTT has been especially visible in recent years, as the quantity of medical services available has increased. Because of the potential danger, this garbage poses to people and the planet, it must be properly disposed of. Because of ineffective waste management practices, inadequate financial resources, and a lack of adequate facilities, HCWT administration is especially crucial in developing nations. Reducing HCWT via appropriate treatment is important for the area's financial and environmental health. In order to solve single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) group decision-making issues with missing weight details, this research creates a unique multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) approach. First, it's important to remember that various decision-makers (DMs) have varying levels of expertise. To get over the problem that the standards cannot compensate for each other, an improved version of ELECTRE is studied. The ELECTRE method is used under neutrosophic environment to rank solutions of HCWT.
Un introuvable levier de justice sociale. Démesure militante des circuits courts alimentaires alternatifs
Authors: Montrieux Gabriel 
Published: September 2023

Les systèmes de circuits-courts alimentaires alternatifs, incarnés en France par le modèle des Associations pour le maintien d’une agriculture paysanne (AMAP), ont initialement pour objectif d’établir des liens de solidarité entre consommation et production. Ces systèmes alimentaires ont progressivement été investis d’enjeux supplémentaires, particulièrement en matière de justice sociale, en visant à donner accès au plus grand nombre à des produits alimentaires inaccessibles dans les circuits conventionnels de distribution. Pourtant, malgré le travail fourni au sein du mouvement amapien pour atteindre cette ouverture sociale, les catégories intermédiaires et dominantes restent fortement surreprésentées parmi les adhérent·e·s de ces systèmes. Cet article vise à saisir les principes à l’oeuvre dans la faible ouverture sociale des AMAP. Il mobilise des données qualitatives (entretiens biographiques et observations) produites lors d’un travail d’enquête mené entre 2013 et 2019 dans l’agglomération lyonnaise, auprès d’AMAP locales et des réseaux militants qui coordonnent le mouvement amapien. La multiplication des enjeux projetés sur les AMAP génère des contradictions internes, avec lesquelles les responsables des collectifs amapiens composent difficilement. Alors que les AMAP apparaissent désarmées pour mettre en place une plus grande accessibilité économique des circuits-courts, l’ouverture sociale de ces systèmes apparaît susceptible de menacer l’entre-soi social sur lequel les collectifs amapiens se sont localement constitués. La difficulté des AMAP à inclure économiquement, symboliquement et socialement des catégories dominées doit en réalité beaucoup à la manière dont ces catégories sont exclues, en amont, des processus de définition des enjeux opérés par les réseaux militants amapiens et par les collectivités territoriales qui entendent lutter contre la précarité alimentaire.

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common complication in Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Treatment of lupus nephritis ranges from initial management with lifestyle changes and medications like corticosteroids for mild cases to the most intensive approach involving high-dose immunosuppressive therapy and potentially kidney transplantation for severe cases. A monoclonal antibody, called belimumab, that targets the B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) has shown promise as a treatment for LN. This narrative review endeavors to provide a comprehensive overview of how belimumab functions, its efficacy, and its safety considerations when utilized in the treatment of lupus nephritis.
Methodology: A literature review was conducted on various databases, including PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, using the following terms: “lupus nephritis”, “safety”, “efficacy” and “belimumab”. All articles considered relevant were included. No limitations were imposed on the publication date.
Results: Improvements in clinical response and a decrease in glucocorticoid dosage were observed in patients with lupus nephritis treated with belimumab, according to our narrative review. Additionally, significantly higher rates of renal response were proven with the combination of belimumab and standard therapy. Trials showed similar safety profiles for belimumab added to standard therapy versus standard therapy alone.
Conclusion: By focusing on B-cell dysregulation and lowering autoimmune response, belimumab provides a promising treatment approach for lupus nephritis. Its potential as an additional treatment for LN is supported by its effectiveness in enhancing renal responsiveness and overall disease activity as well as by its positive safety profile.

ImportanceTestosterone treatment is a necessary component of care for some transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Observational studies have reported associations between commencement of gender-affirming hormone therapy and improvements in gender dysphoria and depression, but there is a lack of data from randomized clinical trials.ObjectiveTo assess the effect of testosterone therapy compared with no treatment on gender dysphoria, depression, and suicidality in transgender and gender-diverse adults seeking masculinization.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA 3-month open-label randomized clinical trial was conducted at endocrinology outpatient clinics and primary care clinics specializing in transgender and gender-diverse health in Melbourne, Australia, from November 1, 2021, to July 22, 2022. Participants included transgender and gender-diverse adults aged 18 to 70 years seeking initiation of testosterone therapy.InterventionsImmediate initiation of testosterone commencement (intervention group) or no treatment (standard care waiting list of 3 months before commencement). This design ensured no individuals would be waiting longer than the time to standard care.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was gender dysphoria, as measured by the Gender Preoccupation and Stability Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression and the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS) to assess suicidality. Questionnaires were undertaken at 0 and 3 months. The evaluable cohort was analyzed.ResultsSixty-four transgender and gender-diverse adults (median [IQR] age, 22.5 [20-27] years) were randomized. Compared with standard care, the intervention group had a decrease in gender dysphoria (mean difference, −7.2 points; 95% CI, −8.3 to −6.1 points; P &amp;lt; .001), a clinically significant decrease in depression (ie, change in score of 5 points on PHQ-9; mean difference, −5.6 points; 95% CI, −6.8 to −4.4 points; P &amp;lt; .001), and a significant decrease in suicidality (mean difference in SIDAS score, −6.5 points; 95% CI, −8.2 to −4.8 points; P &amp;lt; .001). Resolution of suicidality assessed by PHQ-9 item 9 occurred in 11 individuals (52%) with immediate testosterone commencement compared with 1 (5%) receiving standard care (P = .002). Seven individuals reported injection site pain/discomfort and 1 individual reported a transient headache 24 hours following intramuscular administration of testosterone undecanoate. No individual developed polycythemia.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this open-label randomized clinical trial of testosterone therapy in transgender and gender-diverse adults, immediate testosterone compared with no treatment significantly reduced gender dysphoria, depression, and suicidality in transgender and gender-diverse individuals desiring testosterone therapy.Trial RegistrationANZCTR Identifier: ACTRN1262100016864
Impact of decorative pictures in learning materials: The effect of attention‐grabbing features
Authors: Morita Aiko , Fukuya Izumi 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDecorative pictures have been shown to be detrimental to multimedia learning. This study aims to determine whether a decorative picture is detrimental only when it is attention‐grabbing. In Experiment 1, we presented the participants with learning materials containing a decorative picture and asked them to rate the extent to which the picture was attention‐grabbing. We systematically manipulated the elements of decorative pictures and identified position, size, and color as attention‐grabbing factors. Based on these findings, we developed learning materials that included more or less attention‐grabbing decorative pictures. Experiment 2 revealed that texts with more attention‐grabbing decorative pictures were fixated on for shorter periods than those without pictures. However, Experiment 3 demonstrated that the attention‐grabbing decorative pictures did not hinder learning. These results suggest that while decorative pictures can attract attention, they do not impede learning. Considering their positive effect on motivation, incorporating attention‐grabbing decorative pictures into learning materials would enhance learning.

Published: September 2023

AbstractSpatiotemporally controlled chemical delivery is crucial for various biomedical engineering applications. Here, a novel concept of electrically controllable delivery utilizing electroosmotic flow (EOF) generated in a combination of anionic and cationic hydrogels (A‐ and C‐hydrogels) is reported. The unique advantages of the A/C‐hydrogel combination are demonstrated utilizing a flexible sheet‐shaped and a thin tubular devices. Since the directions of EOF in the A‐ and C‐hydrogels are opposite to each other, the ionic current for EOF generation flows inside the delivery devices, enabling chemical delivery without accompanying external ionic current that could stimulate target cells and tissues. A thin tubular device, which can be inserted into narrow in vivo structures and be integrated with other flexible devices, exhibits high robustness and repeatability thanks to the flexibility and water retentivity of hydrogels. The EOF devices with A/C‐hydrogels combination show high controllability superior to the pumping with a conventional syringe; the volumetric flow rate is able to be controlled proportionally to the current applied, for example, ≈0.4 µL (mA min)−1 for the tubular device. The developed EOF‐based devices are versatile for delivery of most chemicals regardless of their charge and size, and have great potential for both biomedical researches and therapeutics.

Published: September 2023

AbstractMicrocavity structures are used in inorganic‐, organic‐, quantum‐dot‐, and perovskite‐based electroluminescent (EL) devices to advance next‐generation displays. However, there are difficulties in controlling electrical characteristics and patterning processes for producing different thicknesses for each red, green, and blue (RGB) subpixel, and the issues are more challenging in the high‐resolution display for future realistic media. Here, a novel design method is presented for a dual‐microcavity structure that controls high‐order modes of a second cavity stacked on top of EL devices with the same cavity length for each subpixel to produce multiple peaks at RGB resonant wavelengths. The dual‐microcavity effect demonstrated by top‐emitting organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be conveniently fabricated via in situ deposition. By modulating the high‐order modes, the spectral characteristics of each RGB dual‐microcavity top‐emitting OLED (DMTOLED) are manipulated while its electrical properties are maintained. Green DMTOLED exhibits a maximum luminance of 2.075  ×  105 cd m−2, allowing applications not only for commercialized displays but also for outdoor augmented reality and automotive displays. Furthermore, dual‐microcavity structures with narrow spectral bandwidths can be applied to next‐generation EL devices for more realistic media. The method is expected to be applied industrially, promoting the advancement of EL devices for next‐generation displays.

AbstractThe practical application of solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries (SSLMBs) based on polymer solid electrolytes has been hampered by their low ion conductivity and lithium‐dendrite‐induced short circuits. This study innovatively introduces 1D ferroelectric ceramic‐based Bi4Ti3O12‐BiOBr heterojunction nanofibers (BIT‐BOB HNFs) into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix, constructing lithium‐ion conduction highways with “dissociators” and “accelerating regions.” BIT‐BOB HNFs, as 1D ceramic fillers, not only can construct long‐range organic/inorganic interfaces as ion transport pathways, but also install “dissociators” and “accelerating regions” for these pathways through the electric dipole layer and built‐in electric field of BIT‐BOB HNFs, promoting the dissociation of lithium salts and the transfer of lithium ions. The working mechanisms of BIT‐BOB HNFs in the polymer matrix are verified by experimental tests and density functional theory calculations. The obtained composite solid electrolytes exhibit excellent lithium‐ion conductivity and migration number (6.67 × 10−4 S cm−1 and 0.54 at 50 °C, respectively). The assembled lithium symmetric battery achieves good cycling stability of over 4500 h. The LiFePO4||Li full battery delivers a high Coulombic efficiency (>99.9%) and discharge capacity retention rate (>87%) after 2200 cycles. In addition, the prepared composite polymer solid electrolyte demonstrates good practical application potential in flexible pouch batteries.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBound states in the continuum (BICs) have been of growing interest in photonics for their infinite quality factors and strong field localization. The last decade has witnessed great progress on the highest achievable quality factors of quasi‐BICs. However, it remains challenging to realize robust high‐Q quasi‐BICs that are tolerant to the parameter perturbation. Here, it is demonstrated that silicon metasurfaces formed by the hybridization of two lattices can support robust quasi‐BICs with the highest measured quality factor reaching 4130 and the minimum one larger than 1024, even when the relative displacement varies over the whole range of all the possible values. Taking advantage of the two in‐plane mirror‐symmetry points, for the first time, the transition between a toroidal dipole BIC and an electric quadrupole BIC, which guarantees robust ultrahigh‐Q quasi‐BICs at Γ point, is reported. The minimum quality factors of quasi‐BICs can be further improved significantly by shrinking the meta‐atom size and are immune from the intrinsic absorption loss of silicon in the visible regime. It is envisioned that this study will pave the way for achieving robust ultrahigh‐Q metasurfaces and boost their applications in lasing, nonlinear optics, and biosensing.
Enhanced Triboelectric Charge Stability by Air‐Stable Radicals
Authors: Im Sooik , Frey Ethan , Lacks Daniel J. , Genzer Jan , Dickey Michael D. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper demonstrates that air‐stable radicals enhance the stability of triboelectric charge on surfaces. While charge on surfaces is often undesirable (e.g., static discharge), improved charge retention can benefit specific applications such as air filtration. Here, it is shown that self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) containing air‐stable radicals, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxidanyl (TEMPO), hold the charge longer than those without TEMPO. Charging and retention are monitored by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) as a function of time. Without the radicals on the surface, charge retention increases with the water contact angle (hydrophobicity), consistent with the understanding that surface water molecules can accelerate charge dissipation. Yet, the most prolonged charge retention is observed in surfaces treated with TEMPO, which are more hydrophilic than untreated control surfaces. The charge retention decreases with reducing radical density by etching the TEMPO‐silane with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) or scavenging the radicals with ascorbic acid. These results suggest a pathway toward increasing the lifetime of triboelectric charges, which may enhance air filtration, improve tribocharging for patterning charges on surfaces, or boost triboelectric energy harvesting.
