China's Muslims and Japan's Empire
Authors: Hammond Kelly A. 
Published: January 2022

In this transnational history of World War II, Kelly A. Hammond places Sino-Muslims at the center of imperial Japan's challenges to Chinese nation-building efforts. Revealing the little-known story of Japan's interest in Islam during its occupation of North China, Hammond shows how imperial Japanese aimed to defeat the Chinese Nationalists in winning the hearts and minds of Sino-Muslims, a vital minority population. Offering programs that presented themselves as protectors of Islam, the Japanese aimed to provide Muslims with a viable alternative—and, at the same time, to create new Muslim consumer markets that would, the Japanese hoped, act to subvert the existing global capitalist world order and destabilize the Soviets. This history can be told only by reinstating agency to Muslims in China who became active participants in the brokering and political jockeying between the Chinese Nationalists and the Japanese Empire. Hammond argues that the competition for their loyalty was central to the creation of the ethnoreligious identity of Muslims living on the Chinese mainland. Their wartime experience ultimately helped shape the formation of Sino-Muslims' religious identities within global Islamic networks, as well as their incorporation into the Chinese state, where the conditions of that incorporation remain unstable and contested to this day.

India Meteorological Department, New Delhi receives and process NOAA TOVS and ATOVS data in real time. The physical and neural network approaches have been used to retrieve atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles from NOAA-16 & 17 satellites AMSU data over Indian region. The earlier training data set based on global data only for two seasons used in neural network technique has been replaced by new training data set based on regional data over land and ocean for all the seasons. The new training data set has improved the temperature and moisture profiles accuracy retrieved using neural network approach compared to physical method. The detail validation and inter comparisons of temperature and moisture profiles have also been carried out with ECMWF analysis over sea and land separately for different seasons for the year 2002-2003. The performance of neural network technique is found to be superior compared to physical method.
Recently, temperature and moisture profiles retrieved from NOAA-16 ATOVS data over Indian region have been used in regional NWP model for the impact study. The operational NWP system of India Meteorological Department is based on a Limited Area Analysis and Forecasting System (LAFS), which consists of real time processing of data received on Global Telecommunication System (GTS), objective analysis by 3-D multivariate optimum interpolation (OI) scheme and a multi-layer primitive equation model. Several experiments were performed using temperature and moisture profiles retrieved from NOAA-16 ATOVS data. Using this data several experiments were undertaken to examine the impact of these data sets on some of the important weather systems such as monsoon depression, active monsoon conditions during monsoon 2003. The preliminary studies reveal that these additional data have a positive impact on rainfall prediction of the limited area model. Results of specific cases of impact studies are presented in the paper.
Tackling the Talented Tenth
Authors: Hobson Maurice J. 
Published: January 2022

This essay focuses on Black Greek-lettered organizations and their efforts to facilitate social change in the American south, especially through voter education and electoral politics. The idea of a Talented Tenth as posed by W. E. B. Du Bois at the turn of the century clearly reflects core class biases, but it, nonetheless, framed much of the way that Black Greek-lettered organizations on college campuses fostered successive generations of Black leaders. There organizations grounded themselves in concepts of racial uplift, community service, and education. This chapter concentrates on the racial political theory these Black fraternities and sororities developed and their impact on Black electoral politics in the south after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Background
Strigolactones (SLs) play a key role in modulating plant root growth, shoot branching, and plant-symbiont interaction. However, despite their significance, the components of SL biosynthesis and signaling in soybean and their role in soybean-rhizobia interaction is unknown.

Methods
In this study, we identified and functionally characterized the GmD53a from soybean. The GmD53a ORFs were amplified from root cDNA using primers for GmD53a RNA interference. To induce transgenic hairy roots of soybean, electric shock was used to transform pB7WG1WG2 vectors containing GmD53a knockdown and GUS into K599 strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The hairy roots and nodules were collected and examined for root nodules ratio and RNA was extracted after 4 weeks of rhizobia inoculation.

Results
A tissue-specific expression assay showed that GmD53a was differentially expressed in plant parts, predominantly in the stem and nodule. Furthermore, its expression was significantly up-regulated during rhizobia infection and varied with nodule formation. The GmD53a-knockdown chimerical plants were produced to further check its role in soybean nodulation in comparison with control GUS. In knockdown lines, the GmD53a (suppressor of strigolactone MAX2) has a higher number of nodules compared to control lines. Furthermore, the expression levels of several nodulation genes essential for initiation and formation of nodules were altered in GmD53a-knockdown lines.

Conclusion
The results revealed that SL biosynthesis and signaling are not conserved but also have close interaction between SL and legume rhizobia.

ObjectivePatients with rheumatic disease (RD) have an increased risk of influenza and its complications. Despite inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) recommendations, IIV uptake in patients with RD is suboptimal, a problem of increasing importance in the COVID‐19 era. We estimated the frequency of IIV hesitancy and associated factors among Canadian patients with RD.MethodsA cross‐sectional vaccine hesitancy survey was completed by rheumatology clinic patients (November 2019 to January 2020). Patients rated their likelihood of receiving the influenza vaccine (scale of 0‐10). We categorized these as follows: likely to refuse (scale of 0‐2), uncertain (scale of 3‐7), or likely to accept (scale of 8‐10). Multivariate logistical regression was used to evaluate factors associated with vaccine hesitancy.ResultsA total of 282 patients (63.5% of those approached) completed the survey, with 165 (58.5%) being likely to accept, 67 (23.8%) being likely to refuse, and 50 (17.7%) uncertain. Uncertain patients were younger and more likely to be employed than those in the other two groups. No previous influenza vaccination (odds ratio [OR] 36.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.3‐252.9), belief that vaccination should not be mandatory (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0.0‐0.7), unwillingness to take time off work to be vaccinated (OR 6.8, 95% CI 1.5‐30.6), and distrust in pharmaceutical companies (OR 41.0, 95% CI 5.6‐301.5) predicted likeliness to refuse. Reluctance to pay for vaccination (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1‐7.5) and no previous influenza vaccination (OR 18.9, 95% CI 3.3‐109.7) predicted uncertainty.ConclusionMore than 40% of rheumatology patients are either likely to refuse or uncertain about receiving IIV. This contributes to suboptimal vaccine coverage in this population. Interventions addressing these concerns are needed, particularly in the COVID‐19 era.
Topology‐Induced Chiral Amplification and Inversion in Self‐Assembling Dipeptide Films

Published: January 2022

AbstractSelf‐assembly of peptides into highly ordered chiral nanostructures has great potential applications in optics, sensing, biomedicine, and templated synthesis. However, the detailed mechanism for the chiral amplification and spontaneous ordering during the self‐assembly of peptides remains largely unexplored. Here, it is shown that by topology control of the co‐assembly of a simple dipeptide and a chiral diamine within a confined film, the supramolecular structures can be controlled precisely from hierarchically organized helical bundles to microcrystals and then parallel aligned nanohelices. The peptide and diamines can co‐assemble into aligned microcrystals when the molar ratio (χ = Cdiamine/Cpeptide) of the two components is 0.5. However, by changing the χ value, excess peptides or diamines create topological defects during the self‐assembly process. This leads to chiral amplification and the formation of long‐range‐ordered nanohelical arrays with controlled phase behaviors. Moreover, the formation of right‐ or left‐handed nanohelices can be further inversed by the topological control, without the need to change the chirality of the peptides. These findings provide new insights into the chiral self‐assembly of amyloid‐related peptides and offer a facile strategy to fabricate highly ordered functional materials.

Published: January 2022

AbstractDue to tunable redox properties and cost‐effectiveness, copper‐ceria (Cu‐CeO2) materials have been investigated for a wide scope of catalytic reactions. However, accurately identifying and rationally tuning the local structures in Cu‐CeO2 have remained challenging, especially for nanomaterials with inherent structural complexities involving surfaces, interfaces, and defects. Here, a nanocrystal‐based atom‐trapping strategy to access atomically precise Cu‐CeO2 nanostructures for enhanced catalysis is reported. Driven by the interfacial interactions between the presynthesized Cu and CeO2 nanocrystals, Cu atoms migrate and redisperse onto the CeO2 surface via a solid–solid route. This interfacial restructuring behavior facilitates tuning of the copper dispersion and the associated creation of surface oxygen defects on CeO2, which gives rise to enhanced activities and stabilities catalyzing water–gas shift reaction. Combining soft and solid‐state chemistry of colloidal nanocrystals provide a well‐defined platform to understand, elucidate, and harness metal–support interactions. The dynamic behavior of the supported metal species can be further exploited to realize exquisite control and rational design of multicomponent nanocatalysts.

AbstractBackgroundCritical congenital heart defects (CCHDs) are one of the most common types of birth defects and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality along with surgical or catheter interventions within the first year of life. This report updates previously published estimates of CCHD prevalence with the latest population‐based surveillance data from 19 birth defect surveillance programs.MethodsThe U.S. population‐based surveillance programs submitted data on identified cases of 12 CCHDs and co‐occurring cardiovascular and chromosomal birth defects from 2014 to 2018. We estimated prevalence by program type and maternal and infant characteristics. Among nine programs with active case ascertainment that collect more than live births, we estimated the percentage of co‐occurring cardiovascular and chromosomal birth defects for the 12 CCHDs.ResultsWe identified 18,587 cases of CCHD among all participating programs. Overall CCHD prevalence was 19.6 per 10,000 live births among all 19 programs and 20.2 per 10,000 live births among active programs. Among maternal racial/ethnic groups, infants/fetuses born to American Indian/Alaska Native mothers showed the highest overall prevalence for all CCHDs (28.3 per 10,000) along with eight of the 12 individual CCHDs. Among 7,726 infants/fetuses with CCHD from active case ascertainment programs, 15.8% had at least one co‐occurring chromosomal birth defect.ConclusionOur study provides prevalence estimates for CCHDs by maternal and infant characteristics along with co‐occurrence with cardiovascular and chromosomal birth defects among infants/fetuses with CCHD using one of the largest and most recent cohorts since the implementation of widespread CCHD screening. These data can provide a basis for future research to better understand risk factors for these defects.

Published: January 2022

AbstractA novel design of an AdBlue mixing unit to reduce urea deposits at low temperatures in diesel exhaust is described. The main principle of the mixer includes the injection of AdBlue in an axisymmetric swirling flow, which is achieved by splitting the exhaust stream and off‐centred introduction of the sub‐flows. Crucial geometric parameters were analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations towards pressure loss, flow field, and spray morphology. Deposit formation was experimentally investigated on three upscaling levels implying an optical test bench, a diesel engine test bench, and a hydraulic excavator. In particular, the studies with the hydraulic excavator showed neither deposits nor critical back pressure. Overall, the experiments substantiated the working principle of the AdBlue mixer.
Oxygen Vacancy‐Enriched Co3O4 as Efficient Co‐catalyst for Pt Nanoparticles towards Methanol Electrooxidation

Published: January 2022

AbstractHerein, a reduced Co3O4/C (rCo3O4/C) composite with rich oxygen vacancies has been fabricated through facile sodium borohydride reduction treatment to act as an effective promoter for Pt nanoparticles (NPs). The Pt NPs are highly dispersed onto the hybrid support with average size of 1.89 nm. Electrochemical measurements show that the Pt−rCo3O4/C‐2 h catalyst with abundant oxygen vacancies possesses better CO tolerance and stability and exhibits a higher mass activity (MA) of 1412 mA ⋅ mg−1(Pt) than that of pristine Co3O4/C supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt−pCo3O4/C) in acidic medium. The enhanced catalytic performance can be attributed to sodium borohydride reduction enriching the oxygen vacancies of Co3O4, which can generate a large amount of −OH species more easily via hydrolysis to oxidize CO species adsorbed on Pt surface to release Pt active sites. Consequently, the construction of oxygen vacancy‐rich materials as co‐catalysts can deliver excellent catalytic performance for Pt‐based electrocatalysts.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe bioequivalence of valsartan 160 mg oral solution compared to suspension was assessed in a single‐dose, open‐label, randomized, 2‐period, 2‐way crossover study in 82 healthy adults. The participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive a single dose of the solution or suspension formulation in each of the two treatment periods. Serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic evaluation were collected up to 48 hours post‐dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by noncompartmental methods and analyzed as per bioequivalence criteria of statistical analysis. The peak plasma concentration of valsartan was reached with median time of 1 and 3 hours with solution and suspension formulation, respectively. Compared to suspension formulation, the mean peak plasma concentration with solution formulation was higher by 32% (90%CI, 1.27‐1.38) while the geometric mean ratios (1.09) and the associated 90%CIs (1.05‐1.13) of both the areas under the concentration time‐curves (from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration and from time zero to infinity) were contained in the required range of 0.80 to 1.25. No new safety signals were observed with either of the formulations.
Environmental policy and corporate sustainability: The mediating role of environmental management systems in circular economy adoption
Authors: Barón Dorado Alexandra , Giménez Leal Gerusa , de Castro Vila Rodolfo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractCompanies see adopting the circular economy (CE) model as an opportunity to become more sustainable and aligned to the growing demand for more environmentally friendly products. Governments, institutions and researchers alike have highlighted the importance of organisations having an environmental policy, and that this policy be implemented though effective environmental management systems (EMSs) as the way to achieving corporate sustainability. However, despite exploring the relationship between EMSs and moving towards the circular model in the business world, research on this increasingly critical issue remains limited. To address this gap, research was carried out on 85 Spanish manufacturing companies. Results show that implementing an EMS has a positive effect as the companies analysed adopted a higher number of CE practices. From a managerial perspective, managers are challenged to show leadership initiative by exploring new, more sustainable ways of operating that engage new stakeholders. Implications for regulators focus on enhancing the circularity of EMS.
