Abstract
In this paper, four kinds of coatings Ni + 30% WC, Ni + 15% WC, Ni, and Co are prepared on EH40 steel by laser cladding technology. Electrochemical experiment tests at a simulating low-temperature (–40°C) environment in 0.5 mol·L−1 hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were conducted, and the polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) impedance spectrum were obtained. The results show that the Ni + 15% WC coating has the smallest corrosion current and 0.5 mol·L−1 HCl solution and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution have the maximum polarization resistance and impedance arc. Coatings will be treated in a 0.5 mol·L−1 HCl solution and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at –40°C immersion for 30 days; finally, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for test passivation films of Ni + 15% WC samples and sample surface morphology after corrosion. XPS results show that Fe, Mo, and Ni elements can form metal oxides in the 0.5 mol·L−1 HCl solution, and Cr, Fe, Mo, Ni, and W elements can form metal oxides in the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. SEM results display that relatively severe corrosion appeared on the substrate near tungsten carbide in a 0.5 mol·L−1 HCl solution, and coating will be corroded form inside of the coating owing to the corrosive solution will penetrate the substrate. In 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, severe corrosion of the substrate has not been observed; however, the binding part has been obviously corroded.

Abstract
Since 2012, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free DNA from maternal plasma is applied all over the world as highly efficient first-line or contingent screening approach for trisomy 13, 18 and 21. With further technical development the screening has expanded to other genetic conditions such as sex chromosome anomalies (SCAs), rare autosomal trisomies (RATs), microdeletions/microduplications, structural chromosomal aberrations and monogenic diseases. Meanwhile, commercial providers are offering a number of different tests, with variable performance, the application of which needs to be carefully evaluated to apply to the true needs of clinical practice. In our review we present the different NIPT methodologies and discuss the main strengths and limitations in the context of providing a responsible pregnancy management.
Dancing all the way to the stage by way of the stadium: on the iconicity and plasticity of actions
Authors: Sonesson Göran 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn the sense of phenomenology, actions are special cases of acts of consciousness. Within semiotics, first Jan Mukařovský and then A. J. Greimas have established, in different terms, a distinction between instrumental actions and actions which carry their meaning in themselves. But this is insufficient to account for the variety of actions which comprises everything from the creation of artefacts, dance, sporting events, theatre, rituals, and much else. Already those actions mentioned relate in different ways to instrumentality and intrinsic meaning, as well as to (depictive) iconicity and plasticity. In this paper, I will be particularly concerned with dancing, especially classical ballet, trying to delimit it from sporting events and theatre. Apart from the sign function and the spectacular function, I will notably have recourse to what I have elsewhere term secondary (depictive) iconicity as well as to plasticity. In the process, I hope to be able to throw some light also on the nature of sport, by comparing and contrasting it to dance, as well as to the theatre as well as, more incidentally, to some other types of action. In a wider perspective, my ambition is to contribute to a general inquiry into the semiosis of actions.
Qualitative behavior of a discrete predator–prey system under fear effects
Authors: Din Qamar , Zulfiqar Muhammad Arfan 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Numerous field data and experiments on the perching birds or songbirds show that the fear of predators can cause significant changes in the prey population. Fear of predatory populations increases the chances of survival of the prey population, and this can greatly reduce the reproduction of the prey population. The influence of fear has contributed a leading role in both the environmental biology and theoretical ecology. Taking into account the interaction of predator–prey with non-overlapping generations, a discrete-time model is proposed and studied. Keeping in mind the biological feasibility of species, the existence of fixed points is studied along with the local asymptotic behavior of the proposed model around these fixed points. Furthermore, taking into account the oscillatory behavior of the model, various types of bifurcations are analyzed about biologically feasible fixed points with an application of center manifold theory and bifurcation theory of normal forms. Existence of chaos is discussed, and fluctuating and chaotic behavior of the system is controlled through implementation of different chaos control procedures. The illustration of theoretical discussion is carried out via validation of observed experimental field data and appropriate numerical simulation.
Synthesis, structures, and photophysical properties of two Cu(I) complexes supported by N-heterocyclic carbene and phosphine ligands

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Two new cationic four-coordinate Cu(I) complexes supported by different chelating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and the diphosphine ligand bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether (POP) have been synthesized. The chemical structures of both complexes have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, and mass spectroscopy, and the crystal structure of one complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Results of theoretical calculations indicate that the lowest energy electronic transitions of these complexes are mainly the metal-to-ligand charge transfer and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer transitions. The complexes in solid state show intense emissions with high photoluminescence quantum yields. The photophysical behavior at 298 and 77K shows that emissions of these complexes at room temperature are thermally activated delayed fluorescence mixed with phosphorescence.

Authors: Shorey Shefaly , Ng Esperanza D. , Law Evelyn C. , Wong John C.M. , Loke Kah Yin , Tam Wilson W.S. 
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Current evidence is lacking on physical activity and nutrition-based interventions focusing on the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and health-related quality of life among children. To assess the effects of physical activity interventions and nutrition-based interventions for children with T1DM.

METHODS
Data sources include the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline, clinicaltrials.gov, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, CINAHL through January 2022. Study selection includes randomized controlled trials of children aged 18 years and below with T1DM comparing either a physical activity intervention, a nutrition-based intervention, or hybrid physical activity and nutrition-based intervention with placebo or no-treatment control. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. Primary outcomes were hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and health-related quality of life.

RESULTS
Eighteen trials were included. Physical activity compared with the no-treatment group showed a lack of effect on HbA1c (mean difference = −0.58, 95% confidence interval −1.20 to 0.05; P value = .07). Nutrition-based intervention compared with no-treatment control for HbA1c level revealed a lack of effect (mean difference = −0.61, 95% confidence interval −1.48 to 0.26; P value = .17). Limitations include paucity of studies and low quality of evidence caused by the risk of bias.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite the lack of significant evidence, the generally favorable results highlight the potential of such interventions in enhancing glycemic control and health-related quality of life. Additionally, promising results from a single physical activity-nutrition-based hybrid intervention in terms of glycemic control indicate the plausible effectiveness of a mixed intervention.
Catharsis by the Bug River. Przewóz [The Carriage] (2021) by Andrzej Stasiuk as a ‘Cleansing’ Novel
Authors: Janiec-Nyitrai Agnieszka 
Published: August 2022

The main goal of this paper is to analyze, depict, and characterize the semantic construction of the latest novel Przewóz [The Carriage] (2021) written by one of the most significant contemporary Polish writers Andrzej Stasiuk. A key way of organizing Stasiuk’s novel is juxtaposing semantically distant wholes, which creates strong tensions not only at the level of language but above all at the level of meaning. Categories of different meaning interpenetrate in the novel, creating a conglomerate of new meanings, showing the fractures of the world described by the novelist, the incoherence of a reality infected by war.Such construction of the novel, based on contrasts and the tensions resulting from their occurrence, allows Stasiuk to reflect the tragedy of wartime experience. War is a catalyst that makes us aware of the uncertain anchoring of concepts and categories, hitherto considered unchanging and permanent, it allows us to capture the illusory nature of human beliefs, the incoherence of human actions, and the naivety of human recognition. The marginal comes to the fore, becoming a model of the world under a microscope, a theatre of history, revealing the nakedness of human existence. Such basic and key concepts as strength, courage, beauty, sacrifice, patriotism, culture, universality, boundary, and truth are questioned.Stasiuk’s ontology is based upon a constant play of tensions between particular categories that make up reality. Nonetheless, the writer does not propose a coherent, unambiguous assessment of reality but rather draws attention to its complexity, impossibility of complete cognition, elusiveness, and delusion. These tensions, so pronounced in Stasiuk’s novel, reveal the illusory nature of the concepts in which a human is immersed, and at the same time, as one of the fundamental elements determining the artistic value of artwork, they are expected to lead to a catharsis, to a release of emotions, they also help to understand better the situation into which a person is thrown at the border moments. Thus, works designed in this way – as cleansing and releasing, and saturated with tension and contrasts – become, as it were, automatically universal, going far beyond transient vogues.The goal of the paper is also to focus on these aspects of Stasiuk’s novel, to demonstrate how war as a border situation can lead to a relativization of concepts, how it can introduce confusion and chaos into a well-established, as it would seem, axiological system, which the writer demonstrates precisely by creating clear tensions. In his novel, Stasiuk does not offer a zero-one vision of the world, tensions are not created mechanically, and the writer uses contrasts and paradox, but what is really important for him are halftones, ambiguities, multivocalities, and a smooth transition in between categories. This is what sets Stasiuk’s world in motion.
Silica-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: New insights into the influence of coating thickness on the particle properties and lasioglossin binding

Published: August 2022

AbstractSilica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles are of enormous importance in biotechnology, nanomedicine, and catalysis. The study demonstrates the significant influence of the coating thickness on the particle properties. Though slow magnetophoresis, a thinner shell leads to higher surface areas, lower isoelectric points, and higher magnetizations. However, thick layers prevent oxidation and lead to stabilization. The coating thickness influenced the binding of the cationic peptide lasioglossin, with a maximal loading of 0.23 g g−1 for the smallest particles. This knowledge can be used to specifically design particles for usage with a cationic tag system in biotechnology or drug delivery with antimicrobial peptides.

Authors: Deng Chunli , Melnyk Oksana , Luo Yanghe 
Published: August 2022

The object of research is the technology of modified potato starch obtained by heat-moisture treatment. Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) of starch is a hydrothermal treatment technique to modify their functional properties. Setback viscosity of potato starch gelatinization characteristic is the key factor that influences the quality of potato starch noodle. In order to obtain a green, safe and highly efficient potato starch product for vermicelli production, this study take setback viscosity as response value, a Box-Behnken model was established on the basis of single factor experiment results to optimize the modify technique. A response surface analysis was used to investigate the effects of moisture content of starch, heat-moisture treatment temperature and heat-moisture treatment time on setback viscosity of heat-moisture treatment modified potato starch. The viscosity properties, textural properties and retrogradation characteristics of HMT starch gel were estimated.
The results of response surface methodology showed the optimal parameters of HMT were that moisture content of potato starch was 23.56 %, heat-moisture treatment temperature was 90 °C, and heat-moisture treatment time was 1.5 h. Under such conditions, setback viscosity of heat-moisture treatment modified potato starch (HMTS) paste was 3677 cP, which was higher than native starch (496 cP) obviously, indicating that the gel strength and hardness of potato starch was improved significantly. Compared with native potato starch (NS), HMTS had lower peak viscosity (2966 cP), lower hold viscosity (2882 cP) and lower breakdown viscosity (84.50 cP), but higher paste temperature (71.08 °C), higher final viscosity (6559 cP) and setback viscosity(3677 cP). The results of retrogradation was consistent with the viscosity properties, all of which indicating that potato starch modified by heat-moisture treatment was more prone to retrogradation. TPA tests demonstrated that HMT can enhance the textural properties of starch gel. Compared with native starch (NS) gel, the hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience of heat-moisture treatment starch (HMTS) gel were increased significantly, and there was no significant difference in springiness. Compared with native starch gel, heat-moisture treatment starch gel had better functional properties.

Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has always been a topic of great interests attributed to its vital role in biological process. H2O2 is known as a major reactive oxygen species (ROS) which involves in numerous physiological processes such as cell proliferation, signal transduction, differentiation, and even pathogenesis. A plenty of diseases development such as chronic disease, inflammatory disease, and organ dysfunction are found to be relevant to abnormality of H­2O2 production. Thus, imminent and feasible strategies to modulate and detect H2O2 level in vitro and in vivo have gained great importance. To date, the boronate-based chemical structure probes have been widely used to address the problems from the above aspects because of the rearranged chemical bonding which can detect and quantify ROS including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO−). This present article discusses boronate-based probes based on the chemical structure difference as well as reactivities to H2O2 and ONOO−. In this review, we also focus on the application of boronate-based probes in the field of cell imaging, prodrugs nanoplatform, nanomedicines and electrochemical biosensors for disease diagnosis and treatment. In a nutshell, we outline the recent application of boronate-based probes and represent the prospective potentiality in biomedical domain in the future.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a worldwide concern because of its toxic effects on crop yield and prevalence in the food chain. Rice is consumed by half of the world’s population and is known to accumulate As. The present study reviews the available literatures on As accumulation in different subspecies of rice grains (indica, japonica and aromatic) and performs meta-analyses for grain size and texture; these data include 120 studies conducted over the last 15 years across different parts of the world. Aromatic rice varieties accumulate less As than either indica or japonica. Japonica rice varieties accumulate higher As than indica rice grains and within each subspecies polished and/or shorter rice grains accumulated significantly lower As compared to larger and/or unpolished grains. This shows that rice-based As bioaccumulation in humans could be lowered by increased use of aromatic or polished indica rice varieties, followed by the cultivation of shorter polished grains of japonica rice. These findings will be important to inform policy on rice cultivation and dietary uptake of As for a large portion of the global population.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Introduction
As a leading cause of pregnancy and fetal mortality, pre-eclampsia impacts about 5–8% of pregnancies globally. To date, few studies have focused on the role played by NLRP3 in peripheral blood in early onset PE. In this study, we investigated whether NLRP3 expression in monocytes before 20 weeks of gestation was associated with an increased risk of early onset PE.
Methodology
During the study period from 2019 to 2021, women with singleton pregnancies were enrolled in this prospective study at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command. A generalized additive model (GAM) and logistic regression models were applied to determine any association between NLRP3 and the risk of early onset PE.
Results
In total, 571 and 48 subjects were included in the control and pre-eclampsia groups, respectively. The GAM and logistic regression models showed that NLRP3 was a significant factor for PE occurrence. The area under the curve, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were 0.86, 0.82, 0.95, 0.72, 15.17, 0.29, and 52.0, respectively.
Conclusion
The monitoring for NLRP3 in peripheral blood may be a potential, prospectively identifying risk factor for preeclampsia.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) detection and source localisation is a critical requirement for military and civilian applications. This paper implements a multistep RF detection technique in a software defined radio (SDR) platform, that starts by a fast energy detection then go through cyclostationarity feature detection to deal with low detected signals. This combination offers range potential to monitor wider area.
The system relies on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurements to estimate the distance between the sensing system and the detected RF source. General-purpose SDR platforms offer more flexibility and cost efficiency, compared to dedicated localisation systems. It enables providing an embedded standalone system able to detect RF signals and to estimate the polar coordinates of the emitting source. Through experiments, we prove the validity of the proposed system for real applications.
