AbstractThe rampant dendrites and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) resulting from the turbulent interfacial evolution at the anode/electrolyte are the main culprits of short lifespan and low Coulombic efficiency of Zn metal batteries. In this work, a versatile protective coating with excellent zincophilic and amphoteric features is constructed on the surface of Zn metal (ZP@Zn) as dendrite‐free anodes. This kind of protective coating possesses the advantages of reversible proton storage and rapid desolvation kinetics, thereby mitigating the HER and facilitating homogeneous nucleation concomitantly. Furthermore, the space charge polarization effect promotes charge redistribution to achieve uniform Zn deposition. Accordingly, the ZP@Zn symmetric cell manifests excellent reversibility at an ultrahigh cumulative plating capacity of 4700 mAh cm−2and stable cycling at 80 % depth of discharge (DOD). The ZP@Zn//V6O13pouch cell also reveals superior cycling stability with a high capacity of 326.6 mAh g−1.

AbstractHerein we report the synthesis of 21 novel small molecules inspired by metronidazole and Schiff base compounds. The compounds were evaluated against Trichomonas vaginalis and cross‐screened against other pathogenic protozoans of clinical relevance. Most of these compounds were potent against T. vaginalis, exhibiting IC50 values < 5 µM. Compound 20, the most active compound against T. vaginalis, exhibited an IC50 value of 3.4 µM. A few compounds also exhibited activity against Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosomal brucei brucei, with compound 6 exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.7 µM against P. falciparum and compound 22 exhibiting an IC50 value of 1.4 µM against T.b. brucei. Compound 22 is a broad‐spectrum antiprotozoal agent, showing activities against all three pathogenic protozoans under investigation.

AbstractPre‐stroke exercise conditioning reduces neurovascular injury and improves functional outcomes after stroke. The goal of this study was to explore if post‐stroke exercise conditioning (PostE) reduced brain injury and whether it was associated with the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Adult rats received 2 h of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Treadmill activity was then initiated 24 h after reperfusion for PostE. The severity of the brain damage was determined by infarct volume, apoptotic cell death, and neurological deficit at one and three days after reperfusion. We measured gluconeogenesis including oxaloacetate (OAA), phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), pyruvic acid, lactate, ROS, and glucose via ELISA, as well as the location and expression of the key enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK)‐1/2 via immunofluorescence. We also determined upstream pathways including forkhead transcription factor (FoxO1), p‐FoxO1, 3‐kinase (PI3K)/Akt, and p‐PI3K/Akt via Western blot. Additionally, the cytoplasmic expression of p‐FoxO1 was detected by immunofluorescence. Compared to non‐exercise control, PostE (*p < .05) decreased brain infarct volumes, neurological deficits, and cell death at one and three days. PostE groups (*p < .05) saw increases in OAA and decreases in PEP, pyruvic acid, lactate, ROS, glucose levels, and tissue PCKs expression on both days. PCK‐1/2 expressions were also significantly (*p < .05) suppressed by the exercise setting. Additionally, phosphorylated PI3K, AKT, and FoxO1 protein expression were significantly induced by PostE at one and three days (*p < .05). In this study, PostE reduced brain injury after stroke, in association with activated PI3K/AKT/FoxO1 signaling, and inhibited gluconeogenesis. These results suggest the involvement of FoxO1 regulation of gluconeogenesis underlying post‐stroke neuroprotection.

AbstractObjectiveWe aimed to investigate if there is a significant difference in peripheral insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) levels between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls and to determine whether a difference exists before and after initiation of antipsychotics.MethodsPubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to March 27, 2022. Original clinical studies of any type that reported peripheral blood, serum or plasma IGF‐1 levels measured after fasting in schizophrenia patients and/or healthy control group were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Meta‐Essentials: Workbooks for meta‐analysis and pooled through random‐effects meta‐analyses.ResultsTwelve publications met eligibility criteria. Schizophrenia patients under antipsychotic treatment had significantly lower peripheral IGF‐1 levels compared to healthy controls (n = 632, Hedges’ g –0.42, 95% CI from –0.79 to –0.04, p = .006, I2 = 70.38%), while no significant difference was found between schizophrenia patients regardless of the antipsychotic treatment status and healthy controls, as well as between antipsychotic naïve or free schizophrenia patients and healthy controls, and before and after initiation of antipsychotic treatment. However, high heterogeneity was observed and its potential sources in some of the subgroup analyses included sample type and region.ConclusionsSchizophrenia patients under antipsychotic treatment seem to have lower peripheral IGF‐1 levels compared to healthy controls. Additional studies with larger and more homogenous samples are needed to confirm these findings.

These psychoemotional variables shall be considered for intervention approaches to improve the social participation of people with physical disabilities in the future.
The Role of the Redox Non‐Innocent Hydroxyl Ligand in the Activation of O2 Performed by [Ni(H)(OH)]+

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe cationic complex [Ni(H)(OH)]+ was previously found to activate dioxygen and methane in gas phase under single collision conditions. These remarkable reactivities were thought to originate from a non‐classical electronic structure, where the Ni‐center adopts a Ni(II), instead of the classically expected Ni(III) oxidation state by formally accepting an electron from the hydroxo ligand, which formally becomes a hydroxyl radical in the process. Such radicaloid oxygen moieties are envisioned to easily react with otherwise inert substrates, mimicking familiar reactivities of free radicals. In this study, the reductive activation of dioxygen by [Ni(H)(OH)]+ to afford the hydroperoxo species was investigated using coupled cluster, multireference ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Orbital and wave function analyses indicate that O2 binding tranforms the aforementioned non‐classical electronic structure to a classical Ni(III)‐hydroxyl system, before O2 reduction takes place. Remarkably, we found no evidence for a direct involvement of the radicaloid hydroxyl in the reaction with O2, as is often assumed. The function of the redox non‐innocent character of the activator complex is to protect the reactive electronic structure until the complex engages O2, upon which a dramatic electronic reorganization releases internal energy and drives the chemical reaction to completion.

Published: November 2022

AbstractConventional particle emission measurement technology only takes into account the total emission and does not offer spatial resolution. Extensive troubleshooting is required in order to identify potential emission hotspots (e.g., small leaks) that contribute strongly to dust emissions. A network of inexpensive low‐cost PM‐sensors was used in a small‐scale baghouse filter for spatial online particle emission monitoring. Different types of emission hotspots were investigated. Spatial PM monitoring enabled the reliable identification of the position of the hotspot as well as estimation of leak size.
Triel Bonds with Au Atoms as Electron Donors
Authors: Niu Zhihao , McDowell Sean A. C. , Li Qingzhong 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe novel triel bonds of BX3 (X=H, F, Cl, Br, and I) and C5H5B as electron acceptors and AuR2 (R=Cl and CH3) as an electron donor were explored. The triel bond is a primary driving force for most complexes, while the contribution from a halogen‐chlorine interaction in BX3−AuCl2 (X=Cl, Br, and I) and an iodine‐Au interaction in BI3−Au(CH3)3 is also very important. Interestingly, the positively charged Au atom of AuCl2 can attractively bind with the holes of BX3 and C5H5B. The interaction energy lies in the range of 1 and 80 kcal/mol, in the order X=F<H<Cl<Br<I. In most cases, the triel bond of C5H5B is stronger than the triel bond of BX3. In the formation of B−Au triel bond, electrostatic energy is not dominant, while polarization energy including orbital interaction has the largest contribution for the strongly bonded complexes and dispersion energy for the weak triel bond.

Published: November 2022

AbstractFor sustainable productivity, a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer crop (corn [Zea mays L.] or grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor L.])–fallow (W‐SC‐F) cropping system could benefit from optimal wheat stubble cutting height management, but only limited information is available. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of wheat stubble height on subsequent corn and grain sorghum yields, available soil water, crop water use, and precipitation storage efficiency in a W‐C‐F and W‐S‐F cropping system. This study was conducted from 2006 through 2020 at the Kansas State University Southwest Research‐Extension Center near Tribune, KS. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with three wheat stubble heights (high, low, and strip). Average across all years, there was a 9%–10% corn yield and 7%–11% corn biomass advantage from high and stripper harvested wheat stubble compared with low cut stubble, and a 5% sorghum yield advantage from high cut stubble compared with low cut stubble. Kernel weight of corn was the only yield component that significantly differed among stubble height treatments. Water productivity of corn in the high and stripper harvested stubble treatments (15.3 kg ha−1 mm−1) was significantly greater compared with the low cut stubble (14 kg ha−1 mm−1). Water productivity of sorghum in the high cut stubble treatment (18.9 kg ha−1 mm−1) was also significantly greater compared with low cut stubble (17.7 kg ha−1 mm−1). Total available soil water at planting (ASWP) and available soil water at harvest (ASWH) of corn were both greater for high cut stubble compared with stripper harvested stubble but total ASWP and ASWH of grain sorghum were not significantly different among stubble height treatments. We concluded that low cut wheat stubble decreased subsequent corn and grain sorghum yields in a W‐C/S‐F cropping system.

AbstractBackgroundThe crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome and the immune system plays an important role in the health and pathogenesis of viral infection. However, there have been few studies of ubiquitin activation in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection.MethodsWe investigated the effect of ubiquitination on SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and patient prognosis by integrating published coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) multi‐transcriptome data and bioinformatics methods.ResultsThe differential expression of COVID‐19 samples revealed changed ubiquitination in most solid and hollow organs, and it was activated in lymphatic and other immune tissues. In addition, in the respiratory system of COVID‐19 patients, the immune response was mainly focused on the alveoli, and the expression of ubiquitination reflected increasing immune infiltration. Ubiquitination stratification could significantly differentiate patients' prognosis and inflammation levels through the general transcriptional analysis of the peripheral blood of patients with COVID‐19. Moreover, high ubiquitination levels were associated with a favourable prognosis, low inflammatory response, and reduced mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit. Moreover, high ubiquitination promoted a beneficial immune response while inhibiting immune damage. Finally, prognostic stratification and biomarker screening based on ubiquitination traits played an important role in clinical management and drug development.ConclusionUbiquitination characteristics provides new ideas for clinical intervention and prognostic guidance for COVID‐19 patients.

AbstractObjectiveAdjunctive mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer promise for improving treatment response to enhanced cognitive‐behavior therapy (CBT‐E) among individuals with binge‐spectrum eating disorders, but research on the key “active” components of these technologies has been very limited. The present study will use a full factorial design to (1) evaluate the optimal combination of complexity of two commonly used mHealth components (i.e., self‐monitoring and microinterventions) alongside CBT‐E and (2) test whether the optimal complexity level of these interventions is moderated by baseline self‐regulation. Secondary aims of the present study include evaluating target engagement associated with each level of these intervention components and quantifying the component interaction effects (i.e., partially additive, fully additive, or synergistic effects).MethodTwo hundred and sixty‐four participants with binge‐spectrum eating disorders will be randomized to six treatment conditions determined by the combination of self‐monitoring condition (i.e., standard self‐monitoring or skills monitoring) and microinterventions condition (i.e., no microinterventions, automated microinterventions, or just‐in‐time adaptive interventions) as an augmentation to 16 sessions of CBT‐E. Treatment outcomes will be measured using the Eating Disorder Examination and compared by treatment condition using multilevel models.ResultsResults will clarify the “active” components in mHealth interventions for binge eating.DiscussionThe present study will provide critical insight into the efficacy of commonly used digital intervention components (i.e., skills monitoring and microinterventions) alongside CBT‐E. Furthermore, results of this study may inform personalization of digital intervention intensity based on patient profiles of self‐regulation.Public SignificanceThis study will examine the relative effectiveness of commonly used components of application‐based interventions as an augmentation to cognitive‐behavioral therapy for binge eating. Findings from this study will inform the development of an optimized digital intervention for individuals with binge eating.
The main criteria for mate selection: The nursing students' perspective in the south‐west of Iran during 2020–2021: A cross‐sectional study
Authors: Rafiee Ghazanfar 
Published: November 2022

AbstractBackground and AimsMarriage has been a functional and moral relationship between men and women, which leads to the creation of a family and also can result in the birth of a child. This study aimed at determining the mate‐selection criteria of nursing students.Methods298 nursing students were considered in this cross‐sectional, descriptive‐analytical study. The study data were collected using a researcher‐made questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability.ResultsThe male and female undergraduate students' mean age was 20–37 and 20–30 years, and male and female graduate students were aged 22–33 and 23–39 years, respectively. From the girls' perspective, 24 out of the 46 criteria were essential for mate selection. From the boys' perspective, 17 criteria were important and five were very low important. The results revealed a significant difference between both genders regarding the importance of 29 criteria. Boys believed that having housekeeping skills, coming from similar cities, and having physical attractiveness were of utmost importance.ConclusionGirls paid more attention to psychological and economic criteria in comparison with men. For girls, the husband's nobility and ability to manage the family and for men being a housewife were more important. Despite the differences in some points of view between both genders about considering the criteria for choosing a future spouse, according to all participants, it was important for the participants to include psychological, cultural, familial, and social criteria for choosing a mate selection. It is recommended that, before marriage, the youth should consider the above‐mentioned criteria to choose their future spouse. In addition, as much as possible, boys should have a decent job and an independent income before marriage.

AbstractBackground and AimsDue to the heavy working shifts, emergency nurses may have to sleep at unusual times of the day, affecting their spouse's sleep. This study proposed to detect the relationship between the woman emergency nurse's sleep quality and the sleep quality of their spouses.MethodsThis cross‐sectional descriptive‐analytical study has lasted for 4 months since June 21, 2020. The study population was all women nurses working at a hospital emergency department. The data was collected by a demographic questionnaire and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) for nurses and their spouses. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsThe prevalence of sleep quality disorder among female emergency department nurses and their husbands was 82.7% and 80.6%, respectively. The mean sleep quality score of female nurses and their husbands was 8.46 ± 4.43 and 6.50 ± 2.52, respectively. A strong and positive correlation was found between the PSQI score of female nurses and their husbands (p < 0.001). The regression model showed that increasing the body mass index (BMI) of female emergency nurses can decrease their sleep quality. However, increasing the BMI of female emergency nurses' spouses and their work experience in the emergency department can improve their sleep quality.ConclusionThe sleep quality of female emergency department nurses was directly correlated with their husbands' sleep quality. Therefore, the sleep quality of nurses working in the emergency departments and their spouses should be examined periodically.
Marketing in an identity‐threatened world: Consumer coping strategies and indulgent consumption
Authors: Nikolova Hristina 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe ability to cope with social identity threats is a crucial consumer capacity. But are all coping methods equally beneficial? Our work examines two dominant coping strategies—where individuals either highlight positive dimensions of the self (self‐focus strategy), or where they emphasize other out‐groups' worse performance (others‐focus strategy). We demonstrate that while the two strategies are equally effective at repairing the threatened identity, the others‐focus strategy leads to greater indulgent consumption for those who hold the threatened identity strongly. We also provide evidence of the underlying mechanism, showing that accessibility drives the differences in the indulgent consumption consequences of these coping strategies, which makes it possible for marketers to externally alter such effects. Specifically, we show that if marketers externally raise the accessibility of outgroups‐related concepts, for example, via an advertising message or environmental design, the impact of the others‐focus strategy on indulgence is diminished.
