Investigation on decontamination mechanism of moisture‐wicking fabrics during home laundry
Authors: Shi Wenhua , Pei Liujun , Gu Xiaomin , Wang Jiping 
Published: May 2023

AbstractMoisture‐wicking clothes are widely consumed in various leisure or sports activities due to their function of moisture absorption and perspiration, which can provide consumers with a good comfortable experience. In this investigation, the stain removal performance of moisture‐wicking fabric was investigated, especially the influence of surfactants and hydrophilic finishing agents on its decontamination ability. The results show that moisture‐wicking fabric has better decontamination performance than ordinary polyester fabric. The binding force between stains and fibers is calculated by density functional theory (DFT). Compared with ordinary polyester fabric, the binding energy between moisture‐wicking fabric and sebum is lower, resulting in stain is more easily to be removed during washing. Different surfactants have a great influence on the decontamination of fabrics, among which the nonionic surfactants with longer carbon chains have the best decontamination performance. Moreover, after finishing with hydrophilic silicone agent, the hydrophilicity of the fabric is significantly improved, and its decontamination performance is also improved. However, this hydrophilic silicone agent will be gradually removed in the subsequent washing process, especially after the first washing, the removal rate reached 75.70%. Therefore, hydrophilic silicone agent can be supplemented in detergent formulation to improve the stain removal performance of moisture‐wicking cloths during home laundry.
Evaluation of a pregnancy programme to enhance older primiparas' physical and mental health and marital relationships after childbirth: A non‐randomized clinical trial

AbstractAimThis study evaluated a pregnancy programme designed by us to stabilize older primiparas' physical and mental health and strengthen their marital relationships.DesignA non‐randomized controlled trial study of two groups; an intervention and control group.MethodsUltimately the scores of 15 participants assigned to an intervention group and 15 assigned to a control group were analysed. Participants responded to sociodemographic questions, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a postpartum physical fatigue questionnaire, wives' satisfaction with husbands' support questionnaire and Quality Marriage Index (QMI). Data were collected during pregnancy and at one and 3 months after childbirth.ResultsThe participating wives' EPDS scales significantly decreased after the postpartum course in the intervention group. Participating in the programme significantly raised husbands' awareness of their wives' physical burdens 1 month after childbirth. The subscale ‘housework support/wives' satisfaction with husbands' support’, 3 months after childbirth, did not decline. It is suggested that this programme could strengthen marital relationships because the husbands' understanding of their spouses' physical burdens after childbirth led to an improvement in the wives' satisfaction with their spouses' housework support. Participation in the pregnancy programme may strengthen the marital relationship. This study recommends appropriate nursing support for pregnant couples to improve their physical and mental health.

AbstractAimNursing diagnosis is the basis of applying nursing process and evidence‐based care in nursing. This issue has been affected by the gap between theory‐practice in nursing. The attending nursing teachers Project aims to create an organizational link between health care centres and nursing schools, reducing the gap between theory‐practice and empowering nurses to apply nursing diagnosis.DesignThe present study was part of the second cycle of an action research study conducted in the cardiology ward in 2019–2020.MethodsInterventions were performed in the form of Teacher, Patient, Student, Nurse Model to empower nurses in quantity and quality of nursing diagnosis.ResultsThe results indicated a significant increase in the number of nursing diagnoses recorded. Moreover, the qualitative criteria based on PES components were found to have changed significantly after the interventions. Empowering nurses in the form of this Project could suggest that creating proper structures between nursing schools and health care centres, full‐time presence of faculty members in hospitals, and enhancing their roles in these institutes will lead to improvements in educational as well as health care systems.

AbstractPurposeOsteoarthritis (OA) is a major threat to public health worldwide and is predicted to increase. Existing interventions to implement clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) seem to be used mainly in the Western world. We conducted a structured educational program on the evidence‐based management of OA (BOA) for Indian physical therapists (PT). Our study aimed to describe Indian PTs' knowledge, attitudes and confidence on evidence‐based management of OA, and their perceptions of a course on this subject.MethodsThe 2‐day course included didactic parts and practical skills training. Thirty‐five PTs participated and answered a questionnaire. Fourteen of them participated in focus group interviews. Questionnaire data are presented as medians and full ranges. Manifest content analysis was used to analyze interview data that are presented as catagories illustrated by interview quotes. The formal ethics permission was granted.Results74% of PTs agreed that radiography determines the type of treatment required, and 69% agreed that a prescription for exercise is enough to ensure adherence. PTs agreed (mean 5 on 6‐point scale) that exercises increasing pain should be advised against. Confidence in guiding the physical activity was generally high (≥5 on 6‐point scales). Five categories reflected participants' perceptions of the course content: Shift in management focus, Need for cultural adaptation, Importance of social support, Development of organization and collaboration, and Feelings of hesitation.DiscussionOur results indicate that in order to facilitate the implementation of CPGs, PT curricula may consider the inclusion of knowledge on CPGs, focus more on students' own reflections on transforming theory into practice, and incorporate training of basic skills required for implementation of self‐management, body awareness, and neuromuscular fitness. If given access and mandates, PTs may play a major role in the early diagnosis and treatment of OA and thus contribute to the prevention of an epidemic of OA in India.
Voltage‐dependent anion channels: Key players in viral infection

Published: May 2023

AbstractViruses control the host cell by exploiting its molecular machinery to facilitate viral replication and propagation. Understanding different viral mechanisms and biochemical pathways is crucial for finding promising therapeutic solutions to viral infections. The mitochondrion is a vital organelle targeted by various types of viruses. More specifically, viruses interact with the voltage‐dependent anion channel (VDAC), a porin protein found in the outer mitochondrial membrane. VDAC controls metabolite flux, regulates reactive oxygen species production, and promotes mitochondrial‐mediated apoptosis by releasing pro‐apoptotic proteins. Hence, a common pathogenic strategy used by many viruses seems to exploit natural pathways that VDAC regulates. This review aims to address the inhibition and enhancement roles of VDAC in viral pathogenesis and outlines multiple links and interactions between VDAC and viral proteins as potential antiviral targets.
A novel H∞ memory observer design for uncertain switched nonlinear systems using past output measurements
Authors: Xiao Zhongzhang , Zheng Qunxian , Wang Jie 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis paper tackles the problem of robust memory observer design problem for discrete‐time switched nonlinear systems by using past output measurements. Different from traditional design strategies of Luenberger‐type observers using the current output measurements, the memory Luenberger‐type observer design strategy introduces the past output measurements of switched systems and observers simultaneously. In addition, in order to better describe the observer error systems, a novel augmented state variable framework of the observer error systems is developed. The highlight of this paper lies that the memory observer design strategy is developed by considering past output measurements and state error values of memory observers, whose performance can be improved by increasing the number of past output measurements used in the observer design, which is an important discovery and significant novelty of this work. By combining the multiple Lyapunov functions approach and average dwell time technique, and introducing matrix variables with free structure, new sufficient conditions for weighted performance analysis of observer error systems are derived. Then, the memory observer synthesis conditions are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI), and the memory observers can be obtained by solving these LMIs. Lastly, two examples are presented to show the advantages and effectiveness of the derived results.
Cross‐lagged relationship between sleep quality and sense of coherence and the moderating role of mastery in older adults
Authors: Zhang Baoshan , Du Yawen , Lin Yao 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe aims of this study were to explore the predictive relationship between sleep quality and sense of coherence (SOC) and to examine a possible moderating role of mastery in this relationship. A three‐wave longitudinal design was employed using a sample of 304 older adults aged 55–87 years old. Cross‐lagged panel analyses and moderating effect analyses showed that sleep quality can predict the levels of SOC 6 months later, whereas SOC cannot predict sleep quality 6 months later. In addition, mastery can moderate the effect of sleep quality on SOC. Specifically, the lagged effects of sleep quality on SOC in older adults who had low levels of mastery were stronger than in those who had high levels of mastery. Overall, these findings provide valuable insights for understanding the predictive relationship between sleep quality and SOC and emphasise the moderating role of mastery. Also, our results offer important implications for enhancing the SOC in older adults by improving sleep quality and mastery.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis research is conducted with the objective of developing a multi‐functional finishing on cotton fabric for improving different properties such as self‐cleaning, antibacterial, ultraviolet blocking, mechanical, and electrical conductivity. To this end, zinc stannate nanophotocatalyst and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are successfully synthesized and used for multifunctional treatment of cotton fabrics. Self‐cleaning properties under sunlight irradiation and antibacterial activities against two common pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are characterized on finished cotton samples. Electrical resistance and color of treated fabrics are also assessed. Electrical conductivity of the RGO‐coated fabrics is improved significantly due to presence of RGO on the surface of cotton fabrics. The treated cotton fabrics with zinc stannate nanocomposite show 61.7% photocatalytic self‐cleaning activity measured by degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under sunlight irradiation. Also, the zinc stannate nanocomposite‐coated cotton samples possess excellent antibacterial activity.
Introduction
Authors: Kramer Eric-Hans , Molendijk Tine 
Published: May 2023

Abstract‘You know what the issue is with the military academy? Nobody ever talks about violence.’ This observation, made by Désirée Verweij at the beginning of this millennium, initiated the development of a particular approach to military ethics. In this introduction, we reflect on Désirée’s observation and the questions it triggers in order to show why it can bring together a broad array of authors with backgrounds in different fields, such as philosophy, ethics, anthropology, psychology, organization science and law, around the topic of ‘the confrontation with violence’. Interdisciplinary explorations of this theme have been at the core of the work of Désirée, who held the chair in military ethics at the Netherlands Defence Academy from 2008 to 2021.
Educating for Restraint
Authors: Olsthoorn Peter 
Published: May 2023

AbstractToday, many armed forces consider teaching virtues to be an important complement to imposing rules and codes from above. Yet, it is mainly established military virtues such as courage and loyalty that dominate both the lists of virtues and values of most militaries and the growing body of literature on military virtues. Some of these virtues, however, may be less suited for today’s missions, which more often than not require restraint on the part of military personnel. This chapter looks into military ethics education from the perspective of military virtues and addresses the question of what we need to solve the aforementioned misalignment: a new set of virtues, a different interpretation of the existing virtues, or something else altogether?
Entrepreneurial Design Thinking© in Higher Education: Conceptualizing Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Western Teaching Methodology to the Eastern Perspective
Authors: Amalia Ria Tristya , von Korflesch Harald F. O. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDesign thinking continuously positively impacts teaching and learning as a teaching methodology in entrepreneurship education. However, the research has not yet identified a potential method for the cross-culturally adaption from the Western to the Eastern teaching perspective. The Western teaching practices of entrepreneurial design thinking (Entrepreneurial Design Thinking© is a trademark of VonKor GmbH in Germany. Detail information concerning the term is explained further in the article.) may not be universally applicable to the Eastern view of entrepreneurship education. By reflecting on the social-constructivist approach and using cross-cultural adaptation theory, this paper proposes and develops a conceptual framework to describe the cross-culturally adaption of the entrepreneurial design thinking methodology from the Western to the Eastern perspective of entrepreneurship in higher education. The example primarily relates to Indonesia.
Progressing Context in Entrepreneurship Education: Reflections from a Delphi Study
Authors: Ramsgaard Michael Breum , Thomassen Mette Lindahl , Williams Middleton Karen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractStimulating entrepreneurial agency among citizens, companies, and organizations is a central objective of many policymakers, potentially requiring arenas for innovation, networks of advisors, training, infrastructure, and finances, among other things. Nonetheless, central to agency is the individual’s own willingness and empowerment to engage. Some aspects of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial action have been argued to be broadly applicable across disciplines, geographies, and cultures, while others are significantly dependent upon a set of variables in which one is embedded. Thus, considering ways in which the contextual complexity of entrepreneurship (and education) is represented in entrepreneurship education is critical. Recent literature establishes that it is important to design for and with context in entrepreneurship education (Thomassen, et al., International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research 26(5):863–886, 2020), but we lack documented knowledge regarding how this can and potentially should be done. In this chapter, we aim to progress a research agenda by identifying current challenges and future opportunities brought forward by experts in entrepreneurship education research through a Delphi study in order to advance the contextualization of entrepreneurship education.
The Incorporated Approach: From Project-Based Learning in Entrepreneurship Education to Project-Based Learning as Entrepreneurship Education in German Schools
Authors: Vollmar Bernhard , Euler Mark 
Published: May 2023

AbstractEntrepreneurship is a future skill that is of central importance for modern societies and economies. It has been recommended that Entrepreneurship Education, when defined as the scientifically founded discussion around the questions about how a central, lifelong, cross-sectional competence in entrepreneurship can be promoted, should be anchored early on in the socialization of learners, namely in schools as an essential educational practice. However, Entrepreneurship Education in Germany has not yet been implemented across the board and is still not mandatory in schools. This chapter illustrates how entrepreneurship, initiative, courage, and trust can be sparked in young people in Germany by using project-based learning as entrepreneurship education instead of project-based learning in entrepreneurship education. A concrete empirical example below of a school education initiative shows how this could be realized.
The Experiential Perceptions of Entrepreneurial Competencies: Avenues for the Next-Generation Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Kansikas Juha , Tarasanski Pavlos 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis self-narrative study on entrepreneurial competencies was conducted among potential next-generation members belonging to entrepreneurial families. As public university bachelor students, self-narratives written by the students themselves do not reflect just perceptions of entrepreneurial competencies in the context of business families but also in the context of higher education. The conceptual advancement of this paper focuses on extending the discussion of entrepreneurial experience-based competencies before designing and launching a venture, such as creativity, innovativeness, risk-taking, sales, and marketing.
Design Thinking Within Entrepreneurship Education: Different Perspectives and Common Themes in the Literature
Authors: Schneider Hannah Laura , Huxtable-Thomas Louisa , Jones Paul , Bowen Robert , Högsdal Nils 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDesign thinking (DT) has been claimed to hold promise for bringing education into the twenty-first century. Many entrepreneurship educators are increasingly integrating DT into their entrepreneurship curricula. Thus, there has been a growing interest among entrepreneurial educators to understand the value and the conceptual interface of DT within entrepreneurship education (EE). The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to illustrate the interface of DT within EE and its current discussion within the literature. This explorative literature review follows an interpretive approach to discuss general theoretical parallels and common core principles of DT in EE at different levels. The findings of this literature review contribute to a more profound perspective on the conceptual clarity of DT in EE.
Entrepreneurship Education in Digital Environments: Developing a Didactic Framework for a New Era
Authors: Baierl Ronny , Thamm René 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis chapter introduces a new didactic framework on entrepreneurship education in digital environments. We base our arguments on theoretical insights gained by the literature on didactics in general and on entrepreneurship education in particular. In addition, we include practical experiences gained by two successfully delivered summer schools, in the real world and in the digital world, and our expertise based on lectures at our university. As a result, our framework covers five dimensions in which several aspects of digital and nondigital competencies are trained. We discuss our framework and suggest fruitful avenues for educators and researchers in the field.
Threshold Concepts in Entrepreneurship Education and their Implications for Teaching and Learning
Authors: Geiger Jan-Martin , Hatt Lucy , Mizzi Emanuel , Kriedel Ronald , Liening Andreas , Kovács Judit Katonáné , Mountford-Brown Victoria 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn view of the continuing growth and importance of entrepreneurship education within the educational landscape, there remains a significant demand for theoretical as well as practical approaches. In particular, there is a demand for approaches that shed light on the interplay between course design and individual learning. This chapter draws on the threshold concept approach, which is becoming an increasingly important perspective in educational research. Whilst the threshold concept approach has been applied usefully to develop the pedagogy of various academic disciplines, for example, economics, healthcare and information literacy, they have so far received little attention in the context of entrepreneurship education. The threshold concept approach addresses the question of how learners can practise an exploratory, reflexive approach to discipline and subject-area-specific ways of thinking and practising. The contribution of our chapter is twofold: firstly, we want to show that the threshold concept approach offers a new perspective for theory and practice in entrepreneurship education through its focus on bridging a disciplinary way of thinking and practising, on the one hand, and a subjective view of entrepreneurial phenomena, on the other hand. Secondly, in order to enrich entrepreneurial teaching and learning conceptualizations, this chapter presents a review of the candidate entrepreneurial threshold concepts which have appeared in the literature to date, in order to characterize them as a potential starting point for a promising field of research.
