Child sexual exploitation material offenders, one‐size‐fits‐all for? Exploring tailored clinical dimensions based on cognitive and behavioural criminogenic factors
Authors: Paquette Sarah , Chopin Julien , Fortin Francis 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundInterventions for individuals involved in sexual offending behaviours are likely to be more effective if adapted to focus on their specific characteristics, suggesting that men who engage in sexual offences against children over the Internet should be treated differently from those who have actual physical contact against children.AimsThe goal of this study is to explore possible associations between the criminogenic cognitions and behaviours of men using online child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) and variables relevant to intervention. We hypothesised that antisocial tendencies, sexual, emotional and relational problems and self‐regulation problems, as well as cognitive distortions would be associated with CSEM use.MethodNinety‐eight men who had been convicted of at least one online CSEM‐related offence, but no child contact sexual offences, at any time between 2001 and 2020 were recruited in the province of Quebec (Canada). Cases were reviewed to identify cognitive and behavioural criminogenic factors according to a coding sheet developed after reference to prior literature. Variables were extracted from official criminal records, sexological and psychological reports, as well as investigative and forensic reports and interviews. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out to identify potentially relevant dimensions.ResultsAnalysis confirmed five distinct factors which, together, accounted for 60% of the variance:dissocial traits, dysfunctional intimacy, passive alienation (internalised sense of alienation),normless alienation (social norms experienced as alien)andcoping with threat.ConclusionBecause online CSEM‐related offenders present heterogeneous risks and needs, a ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ intervention is unlikely to be optimal for most of them. Our findings suggest a way of classifying risks and needs to facilitate more focused interventions. Future research should evaluate the relative effectiveness of general interventions compared to those tailored towards the dimensions of risks and needs identified in this study.

Published: April 2022

AbstractLeft ventricular (LV) unloading is an important concept in patients undergoing peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO). We present a case of a 32‐year‐old male in acute cardiorespiratory collapse due to coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) who underwent VA‐ECMO cannulation in the setting of cardiogenic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Due to inability to utilize percutaneous LV assist device (pLVAD) for LV unloading due to small end diastolic dimension, alternative strategies were explored. A traditionally utilized right ventricular support device, the ProTek Duo (TandemLife, Pittsburgh, PA), was utilized to drain the pulmonary artery, leading to improvement in parameters for cardiogenic shock. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which a ProTek Duo has been utilized in conjunction with VA‐ECMO to provide LV unloading in support of a patient in cardiogenic shock. This method can be employed in future challenging situations where pLVAD is not feasible.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesCross‐contamination of pathogens is a common cause of food recalls. The objectives of this study were to quantify the amount of Escherichia coli transferred during wheat milling and to model the E. coli concentration in wheat flour fractions during milling.FindingsHigher (p ≤ .05) E. coli counts were recovered in the nonflour mill fractions (1.9–4.5 log CFU/g) during the inoculated wheat milling run. The E. coli counts in flour fractions increased with more amounts (kg) of inoculated wheat milled. During the noninoculated mill run, E. coli counts decreased as more wheat was milled. Greater E. coli contamination was observed in the nonflour fractions (1.8–3.4 log CFU/g). The fitted models were significant (p ≤ .05) and had acceptable fit (R2 = 0.40–0.85; SE = 0.16–0.42).ConclusionThe findings indicate that E. coli contamination from wheat kernel could transfer into the flour at a lower concentration relative to nonflour fractions and that continuous milling of contaminated wheat increased flour E. coli counts.Significance and NoveltyThe results from this study may help development of mitigation strategies for pathogen contamination during milling and could be used for risk assessment analysis in wheat flour products.

Published: April 2022

AbstractA novel chemometric approach is proposed to analyze high‐dimensional data from unbalanced designs of experiments. It combines a rebalancing strategy based on averages with the ASCA method under the name Rebalanced ASCA (RASCA). The ability of RASCA to handle unbalanced designs was compared with standard ASCA, as well as state‐of‐the‐art methods, such as ASCA+ and WE‐ASCA. For that purpose, a controlled framework was designed to provide a systematic comparison of the various approaches. It included two real datasets obtained from initially balanced designs, which were gradually unbalanced by removing observations belonging to specific combinations of factor levels. The results illustrate that all methods considered led to identical solutions when the initial balanced design was kept. Nevertheless, increasing differences appeared when the design was gradually unbalanced. The proposed benchmark showed that RASCA and ASCA+ provided overall similar results for all effects with high agreement with the balanced solutions in comparison to classical ASCA and WE‐ASCA. RASCA was found to be a suitable chemometric tool to tackle unbalanced designs by ensuring unbiased parameter estimators with the added benefit of producing rigorously orthogonal effect matrices, thus facilitating interpretation.

Published: April 2022

AbstractLarge and extra‐large pore zeolites have been widely applied in industrial areas as catalysts, adsorbents, etc. Among them, silica and/or aluminosilicate zeolites have been attracted great attention due to their excellent hydrothermal stability and strong acidity. However, a great deal of zeolite structures are still not available in the form of silica and/or aluminosilicate. Herein, we report the synthesis of pure silica and aluminosilicate large‐pore zeolites, denoted as NUD‐14 and Al‐NUD‐14, respectively, by using a designed cation 1‐ethyl‐4‐phenylpyridinium as an organic structure‐directing agent (OSDA). NUD‐14 has an intersecting 12×11×11‐member ring pore system, which is isostructural to the germanosilicate PUK‐16 zeolite with a POS topology. The OSDAs can be completely removed from the framework by calcination. NUD‐14 and Al‐NUD‐14 possess excellent acid and hydrothermal stabilities, superior to the germanosilicate POS zeolite. The incorporation of Al into the zeolite framework makes the Al‐NUD‐14 zeolite possess medium and strong acidities. The successful synthesis of NUD‐14 consisting of a rare odd‐member ring pore structure may provide a platform for interesting size‐ and shape‐selective catalytic applications.

AbstractBackgroundThe antral region of pulmonary veins (PV)s seems to play a key role in a strategy aimed at preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. Particularly, low‐voltage activity in tissue such as the PV antra and residual potential within the antral scar likely represent vulnerabilities in antral lesion sets, and ablation of these targets seems to improve freedom from AF. The aim of this study is to validate a structured application of an approach that includes the complete abolition of any antral potential achieving electrical quiescence in antral regions.MethodsThe improveD procEdural workfLow for cathETEr ablation of paroxysmal AF with high density mapping system and advanced technology (DELETE AF) study is a prospective, single‐arm, international post‐market cohort study designed to demonstrate a low rate of clinical atrial arrhythmias recurrence with an improved procedural workflow for catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF, using the most advanced point‐by‐point RF ablation technology in a multicenter setting. About 300 consecutive patients with standard indications for AF ablation will be enrolled in this study. Post‐ablation, all patients will be monitored with ambulatory event monitoring, starting within 30 days post‐ablation to proactively detect and manage any recurrences within the 90‐day blanking period, as well as Holter monitoring at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post‐ablation. Healthcare resource utilization, clinical data, complications, patients' medical complaints related to the ablation procedure and patient's reported outcome measures will be prospectively traced and evaluated.DiscussionThe DELETE AF trial will provide additional knowledge on long‐term outcome following a structured ablation workflow, with high density mapping, advanced algorithms and local impedance technology, in an international multicentric fashion. DELETE AF is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05005143).

AbstractIn recent years, optical sensing based on nanomaterials has emerged as a prospective strategy for monitoring environmental pollution in water. In this context, carbon nanostructures have received increasing attention due to their unique optoelectronic and physiochemical properties. To this end, nanocarbon such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon dots have been used to develop proof‐of‐concept opto‐chemical sensors for emerging aquatic contaminants, including pesticides, bacterial pathogens, and pharmaceuticals residues. These optical sensors have attracted significant research interest in nanotechnology, material science, and the detection of aquatic pollutants. However, the practical application for detecting contaminants is still limited because of cost‐effectiveness, sensitivities, and selectivity toward the diverse pollutants. This review examines the current trends and challenges in designing and applying carbon nanostructure‐based optical sensors for detecting aquatic contaminants. Finally, a critical perspective on the field and future research directions is provided.

Published: April 2022

AbstractTwo‐dimensional (2D) layered hybrid perovskites like phenylethylammonium lead bromide [(PEA)2PbBr4] show interesting optoelectronic properties and improved moisture stability owing to the repeating quantum‐well structure and hydrophobic organic cations, respectively. Doping metal ions in such perovskites leads to exciton‐dopant interactions, imparting new optical properties. Here we report synthesis and optical properties of Yb3+‐doped (PEA)2PbBr4. Crystals show plate‐like morphology with lateral size of few micrometers. Also, ∼3.5 nm thin nanoplatelets are obtained after sonicating the samples. The host absorbs light via excitonic (and band‐band) transition at 407 nm. A part of the generated excitons recombines by emitting light at 414 nm along with host‐related non‐radiative recombination. Another significant part of the excitons recombines by non‐radiatively transferring the energy to the f‐electrons of Yb3+ dopant ions. The Yb3+ ions then de‐excite via f‐f (2F5/2→2F7/2) transition emitting near‐infrared (NIR) radiation with a peak at 997 nm. Such NIR‐emitting semiconductors with improved performances are desired for NIR light‐emitting diode applications.

Published: April 2022

AbstractTwo series of flavylium triflates carrying alkoxy side chains in the A‐ring (benzo unit of chromylium salt) and thioethers in the B ring (phenyl unit) (On‐Fla‐Sm) as well as thioethers at both A and B ring (Sn‐Fla‐Sm) were synthesized in order to understand the effect of thioether functionalization on their self‐assembly and electronic properties. Concentration‐dependent and diffusion ordered (DOSY) NMR experiments of O1‐iV‐Fla‐S3 indicate the formation of columnar H‐aggregates in solution with antiparallel intracolumnar stacking of the AC unit (chromylium) of the flavylium triflate, in agreement with the solid state structure of O1‐V‐Fla‐S1. Thioether substitution on the B ring changes the linear optical properties in solution, whereas it has no effect on the A ring. According to differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X‐ray diffraction bulk self‐assembly of these ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) depends on the total number of side chains, yielding SmA and LamCol phases for ILCs with 2–3 chains and Colro, Colh phases for ILCs with 3–6 chains. Thus, we demonstrated that thioethers are a useful design tool for ILCs with tailored properties.

AbstractAn efficient metal‐free visible‐light‐driven two‐step domino reaction towards new bioactive tetrahydroisoquinoline‐butenolide hybrid compounds was developed for the first time. The combination of fluorescein as photosensitizer and thiourea as an additive was found to be the most effective way to promote an aerobic amine oxidation/vinylogous Mannich domino reaction sequence with yields up to 97 % for a broad substrate scope. Both experimental and computational evidence supported the crucial role of singlet oxygen in the developed C−H functionalization reaction. Furthermore, the data suggest that thiourea is essential due to its ability to act as an electron‐transfer mediator and/or scavenger of reactive oxygen species. In addition, in vitro studies of tetrahydroisoquinoline‐butenolide hybrid compounds demonstrated their high antischistosomal and anti‐cancer activities.

AbstractObjectivesThis exploratory study investigated plaque removal with a prototype constant, low rotation speed Power Toothbrush (PTB) with two brushing actions: “Gumline” (head rotates in the horizontal axis) and “Interdental” (head rotates in the vertical axis). Gumline alone and “Combined” (Gumline + Interdental) modes were compared with a Reference PTB and a Reference Manual Toothbrush (MTB) after one brushing.Materials and MethodsThirty‐nine participants were randomized to use each toothbrush once either in the sequence (A) Prototype PTB (in Gumline then Combined mode), (B) reference MTB, and (C) reference PTB or the sequence BAC. There was a minimum 3‐day washout between the use of each toothbrush. Plaque removal was measured using the Rustogi Modified Navy Dental Plaque Index (RMNPI) with change from baseline investigated using an analysis of covariance model. RMNPI scores were calculated on a “whole mouth” basis and along the gingival margin and at proximal sites only.ResultsFor the primary efficacy variable, a significant difference was found in favor of the prototype PTB in gumline mode versus the reference MTB for whole mouth plaque score (difference: −0.06; standard error: 0.014; 95% confidence interval [CI] −0.09 to −0.04; p < .0001). Similar significant differences were found in gingival margin and proximal areas (p < .0001). The prototype PTB in gumline mode removed significantly less plaque than the prototype PTB in combined mode and the reference PTB (p < .0001; whole mouth/gingival/proximal areas). The prototype PTB in combined mode removed significantly more plaque than the reference MTB (p < .0001; whole mouth/gingival/proximal areas) and the reference PTB for whole mouth (p = .0214) and gingival margin areas (p = .0010). The reference PTB also removed significantly more plaque than the reference MTB (p < .0001; whole mouth/gingival/proximal areas). All brushes were generally well‐tolerated.ConclusionThe prototype PTB design, providing two distinct cleaning modalities, can effectively remove plaque to a significantly higher degree than an MTB and a marketed PTB, depending on mode.

Published: April 2022

AbstractPima (Gossypium barbadense L.) cotton is currently grown commercially in the western United States and has exceptional fiber quality, which provides an economic value almost two times greater than Upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotton. Due to limited experience with Pima production in the southeastern United States, our primary objective was to compare the growth, development, agronomic performance, and fiber quality of four Pima genotypes with a high‐yielding high fiber quality commercial Upland cultivar under irrigated and dryland conditions at different planting dates. Lint yields of all Pima genotypes were ∼50% less and had lower lint percentages (38.0–42.4%) than the Upland genotype (45.7%); however, the Pima genotypes had consistently lower micronaire values and increased fiber strength, length, and uniformity. Although irrigation did not significantly impact agronomic and fiber quality performance, plants grown under supplemental irrigation developed 10% more bolls throughout the season, mostly occurring on monopodial branches and at mainstem nodal positions above 15. Bolls on Pima genotypes were 13–34% smaller than the Upland genotype and developed at more distal and higher nodal positions in the plant canopy. The highest net returns were found in 2019 at the early planting date, displaying the importance of timely planting of Pima genotypes when grown in the southeastern United States. Results suggest that irrigation may not be required for Pima production in the southeast, early planting is preferred to obtain maximum yields, and increasing lint percent, boll number, or earliness through breeding may improve Pima yields in the southeastern United States.

AbstractPhotocatalytic conversion of CO2 into renewable fuels with high efficiency and selectivity is desirable for solar energy utilization, but remains a great challenge. Herein, cobalt(II)‐porphyrin functionalized conjugated polymers with acetylene bridging units, assembled through the Sonogashira cross coupling reaction, as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 photoreduction were presented. Experimental investigations and density functional theory calculations demonstrated the crucial roles of Co centers in porphyrin units for CO2 activation and conversion, while excessive acetylene group prompted the competing hydrogen evolution reaction and reduced the selectivity. Thus, the CoPor‐DBBP afforded superior activity for the CO generation with a rate of 286.7 μmol g−1 h−1 and high selectivity of up to 90.4 %. This work presents a new insight for rationally designing of porphyrin‐based conjugated polymers as energetic photocatalyst in CO2 reduction.

AbstractPhotocatalytic reduction of CO2 has attracted enormous interest as a sustainable and renewable source of energy. In the past decade, numerous bulk‐type semiconductors have been developed, but the existing designs suffer many limitations, namely rapid recombination of charge carriers and weak light absorption ability. Herein, a bottom‐up approach was developed to design atomically thin sulfur‐doped Bi2WO6 perovskite nanosheets (S‐BWO) with improved reduction ability, extended visible light absorption, prolonged lifetime of charge carriers, enhanced adsorption of CO2, and reduced work function. Compared with pristine Bi2WO6 (P‐BWO), S‐BWO nanosheets exhibited a 3‐fold improvement in photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under simulated sunlight irradiation. Experimental studies and density functional theory calculations revealed the synergistic roles of atomically thin nanosheets and S atoms in promoting photocatalytic efficiency.
